Area gun store burglaries ‘not impulse crimes’ Recent theft in which 20 rifles were taken is one of many in recent months BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thieves recently made off with 20 semiautomatic rifles from Warhorse Firearms of the Rockies in Littleton, the latest in a series of “smash-and-grab” burglaries at area gun stores in recent months. Three or four suspects broke a large window and climbed a staircase into the store, located on the second floor above Grand Prix Motorsports at 3105 W. County Line Road a little after 2 a.m. July 26, according to the Littleton Police Department. Investigators are looking for a dark twodoor Honda with a black spoiler on the back. The rash of burglaries, which has included stores in Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties, is part of a larger trend of gun thefts from dealers statewide, authorities say. More than 270 guns were stolen in 2016, up from 121 in 2015 and 56 in 2014, according to information provided by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The trend also is reflected nationwide, with 9,281 guns stolen from dealers across the country in 2016, up from 6,163 in 2015. The Denver-area burglaries are the No. 1 priority of investigators at the Denver field office of the ATF, said spokeswoman Lisa Meiman, adding that while it’s too early to say if the burglaries are a pattern or committed by the same group of people, there’s clearly thought behind them. “These are not impulse crimes,” Meiman said. “We’re seeing an uptick pattern that’s very concerning. Anywhere there’s a sizable urban area with a lot of gun stores, you’re seeing this upward trend in gun thefts.” SEE GUNS, P15

City approves memory care home Assisted living facility in Southbridge area will have 85 units BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton seniors will soon have a new living option after the city council approved a proposed assisted living and memory care facility at 1501 W. Mineral Ave., part of the Southbridge Planned Development. StoneCreek Real Estate Partners applied to the city to build an 85-unit assisted living and memory care facility on 4.29 acres of vacant land owned by the Conservative Baptist Foreign Mission Society. City council voted 5-2 at the Aug. 1

meeting to approve the development. The site’s zoning designation did not expressly permit such a facility, but the council’s action added the use to the development zone. Texas-based StoneCreek will build and own the facility, but operations will fall to Civitas Senior Living, another Texas-based company that operates dozens of other senior care facilities, mostly in the Lone Star state. The facility will occupy about 75,000 square feet, according to StoneCreek’s application to the city, and in addition to the 85 residential units, the facility will include common areas and amenities including dining and activity rooms, wellness and fitness rooms, a salon, housekeeping, maintenance, medication management areas and gathering spaces. StoneCreek predicts the facility will

employ 40 full-time equivalent staff to start, and may add more as residents’ acuity increases. StoneCreek held two community meetings as part of its planning process, and adjusted its design for the facility in response to neighbor concerns about views. Citizen letters to the city about the project were largely positive. “My husband passed away 10 years ago and I have longed for a place to live where I could be part of a community and feel welcomed,” wrote Carol Schwarte. “I want to stay in the area and continue to enjoy the life I know.” Several city council members were also enthusiastic about the proposed development. “So often we are faced with land use decisions where there’s a struggle to reconcile what the applicant wants, what the city wants, and what the

neighbors want. It’s a pleasure to see one without those issues,” said Mayor Pro Tem Debbie Brinkman. “This is a development that’s needed in the community. I have no doubt this is a quality operation.” Pam Chadbourne, a Littleton resident and active participant in city politics, was one of a handful of dissenting voices, arguing that the price tag of units places them out of reach of low-income seniors. The city has other facilities geared toward lower-income seniors, said District III councilman Phil Cernanec. “This facility is not for everyone or within reach of everyone, but we do have responsibility for diversity of housing,” Cernanec said. “We don’t have a facility for those who are able to deal with private pay. I know we have a need for this in our city.”

Lions Club retires from community barbecue tradition Members too old and too few to carry on, pass torch to Rotary after 66 years BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Western Welcome Week attendees line up for barbecue in Littleton’s Sterne Park on Aug. 11, they may not notice that their food is being served by the Rotary Club as opposed to the Lions. But the change represents a passing of the torch on a 66-year tradition, one that’s emblematic of the fading of the service organization from community presence and civic life. The Littleton Lions Club, down to only 17 members from a high of almost 65 in the early 1990s, decided this year that its workforce is too old and too few to continue hosting the barbecue that saw it serve tens of thousands of meals since the days when Nat King Cole topped the charts. “It was a hard decision,” said Rich Waldmeier, president of the Littleton Lions Club, toward the end of a recent meeting at the Egg & I restaurant on Belleview Avenue. “But last year, we struggled. Manpower wise and age wise, we just weren’t up to it anymore.” The change is a poignant one for the

Belleview Ave. Anyone interested in joining the Lions Club can call president Rich Waldmeier at 303770-5149. Lions, whose sparse meetings now consist largely of retirees, rather than the gaggle of working professionals who once saw it as a point of pride and duty to give back to the community, said Alan Rosenberg, a travel nurse who has been a Lion for 37 years. “The basic premise was to give without asking anything in return,” Rosenberg said. “It meant something. It gave you a great feeling. People aren’t as community-oriented anymore.” The Lions Club International, which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year and claims among its members former president Jimmy Carter and former Colorado Gov. Roy Romer, still claims 1.4 million members in 47,000 chapters in 208 districts, but its numbers are down a quarter million since its late-1980s peak.

Fate of nearly $2 million in excess revenue in voters’ hands City wants to spend extra on roads, also wants to increase future cap BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton voters will decide this fall whether to allow the city to keep money collected in excess of a state-imposed cap on revenue, and whether to adjust the revenue cap going forward. The city’s ability to collect money is constrained by the 1992 Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR amendment. The law sets a cap on the money the city can take in, calculated by a formula of the city’s 1992 revenues plus adjustments for inflation in the Consumer Price Index and the increase in population. Any revenue collected in excess of the cap must be refunded to taxpayers, unless voters approve a waiver of the refund. Littleton’s TABOR cap in 2016 was $67 million, but a high amount of impact fees and building use taxes, which are one-time payments related to new development, allowed the city to collect more than $69 million, creating a surplus of $1,937,904. Resolution 5(b), approved unani-

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS Voters are invited to submit pro/con statements about the two TABOR measures to City Clerk Wendy Heffner by Sept. 22. She can be reached by email at ccwh@littletongov.org. Statements will be summarized for the voters’ Blue Book to be issued closer to the election. More information is available at littletongov.org/tabor. mously by the city council at its Aug. 1 meeting, creates a ballot measure that, if approved, would allow the city to keep the excess revenue, which would be earmarked for two projects: $1,392,904 would go to pavement improvements on residential streets, and $545,000 would go to intersection safety upgrades to the intersection of Bowles Avenue and Federal Boulevard. The extra revenue would increase the length of streets due to be resurfaced from 3.4 miles to seven miles. The intersection project would focus on improving traffic movement, alignment and pedestrian safety. If voters reject the city’s request, the surplus funds will be divvied up among taxpayers, though TABOR does not actually spell out a refund method. The city has gone to voters asking to retain revenue in excess of the TABOR cap on six other occasions. Voters passed five of the waivers by

according to TABOR’s algorithm, to $71 million. If the measure is not approved, the cap would still increase, just not as quickly. In that case, possible future revenue excesses would likely go before voters again. Councilmember Doug Clark said he likes that TABOR gives citizens a voice in how government spends its money. Doug Clark, “I’m a big fan of TABOR and a big fan of limited government,” Clark said. “TABOR’s purposes are to Littleton councilmember limit government, but it contains the provision for the citizens to decide if they want to increase the size of government for a specific reason.

How food can transform community Local farmers’ markets provide ways to help out the greater community

athan Mudd is a former attorney, and his wife Kimberly used to work as an accountant. But the two have always had a special dedication to the local economy and local food. “Our passion is to increase local food in the state,” Kimberly Mudd said. “The demand is there, and the supply will grow as we connect urban and rural communities.” Now, the two run the Main Street Markets — which operate farmers’ markets in Arvada and Westminster — and have a public-private partnership with the City of Brighton to operate a 10-acre working historic farm called Bromley Local Foods Campus. Their focus on bringing healthy food to communities is part of a surging trend across the state and country that reflects a growing demand for knowing where your food comes from, supporting local growers and — perhaps most importantly — ensuring affordable access to healthy food across all income levels. “Hunger is a silent problem,” said Jenna Metzinger, the farmers’ market Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) coordinator with Jefferson County Public Health. “It affects more people and families than we realize.” The farm-to-table movement, in essence, has become more than just about supporting and eating locally sourced food. With its varying forms of programs sprouting up, it is transforming community, whether by connecting rural and urban populations with each other or providing ways to give back while battling food insecurity.

Annual cycling race draws hundreds to downtown Littleton Littleton Criterium’s six races included two pro events that were ‘exciting to watch’ BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Stretches of several streets belonged exclusively to cyclists speeding around the course during the six races that comprised the Aug. 5 Littleton Twilight Criterium. A criterium is a timed bicycle race around a closed course. Racers competing in the Littleton Twilight Criterium sped around an L-shaped eight-tenths-of-a-mile course that wound through portions of the downtown area with the start-finish line at Prince and Main streets. The event included six races. Each race was for specific category racers. Racer categories are based on skill level and experience. Race times varied from 40 minutes for some classifications to one hour for the professional women’s race and 80 minutes for the professional men’s race. Racers recorded top speeds of about 30 miles an hour. “This is the fifth year for the Littleton Criterium and my third year as race director,” Aaron Hugen said. “One change I have noticed in my three years directing the race is everything is more organized, plus the event is drawing more spectators.” About 120 people volunteered to assist with tasks like allowing spectators to use the crosswalks only when the track was clear and deal with many of the other tasks necessary to put on the event. “The cooperation and assistance of the City of Littleton was a huge help in putting on the event,” Hugen, of Parker, said. Besides watching the races, spectators could enjoy live bands, a beer garden, food trucks and for children, a climbing wall and face painting. Most retail shops and restaurants along the course also were open. Spectators lined up along the race barriers, ringing cow bells and cheering on racers. Rain led to a short suspension of racing and sent spectators scrambling for cover. But the rain let up and racing resumed and more spectators began gathering for the later races. The pro women’s race ran an hour and began at 7:55 p.m. as it was getting dark. The men’s pro race started at 9:05 p.m. and was run entirely under the lights. The pro races drew the largest crowds. Spectators stood shoulder to shoulder along many stretches of the course and the crowd was three and four deep in the areas around the start finish line. “I like bike racing but this is the first time I have come to watch a criterium,” Mike Ballentine said as

Riders use skill and balance to make the 90-degree turns in the course during the Aug. 5 Littleton Twilight Criterium. There were six races on the L-shaped course that covered eight-tenths of a mile.

Sydney Bar, 12, tests her skill on the climbing wall that was among a number of activities available for spectators in the area just off the race track during the Aug. 5 Littleton Twilight Criterium. Activities for children included the climbing wall and face painting, plus there was live music, food trucks and a beer garden. he watched the pro women’s race. “The riders really push their bikes, and that last lap the rider in second place was in line and inches behind the first-place rider. And the announcer said they were traveling at close to 30 miles an hour. That is exciting to watch.” The Centennial resident said he likes the criterium better than watching a road race because the racers pass you many times and you can watch the maneuvers they make to move up in the pack. “It is just a lot of fun to watch because there are only small breaks in the action going on right in front of you,” he said. The racing isn’t just for fun. Top finishers receive prizes including cash and merchandise. The winners of each race also received a yellow winner’s jersey.

Lily Freitas, 6, pushes off at the start of the cruiser ride that was part of the Aug. 5 Littleton Twilight Criterium. More than 100 adults and children took the opportunity to ride their bikes around the L-shaped course that was set up for the bike racers. There were six events during the criterium and the cruiser ride was the only event that wasn’t a race.

Two couples move in close to the stage to listen to the band Message in a Bottle that was one of three groups providing live music during the Aug. 5 Littleton Twilight Criterium. Hundreds of spectators lined the barriers to watch the bike races and live music, and a number of activities for children were available for individuals who wanted something to do between races. George Simpson received the yellow jersey as the winner of the men’s pro race with Greg Hecht finishing second and Zack Allison third.

Skylar Schneider won the women’s pro race with Stephanie Roorda and Slylar’s sister, Samantha Schneider, finishing second and third, respectively.

Coffman holds town hall after GOP failures on healthcare Support for wall draws boos, while support for immigrants spurs cheers

‘Most districts are so red or so blue. They have no reason to compromise.’

BY JAMES ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

It was Round Two for U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, who, unlike many congressional Republicans, engaged once again with anxious voters in the 6th Congressional District. Coffman, who hosted a contentious April town hall, held another Aug. 1 with several hundred constituents who filled half of a high school gymnasium in Brighton — one of the Adams County cities in a purple district that also includes Aurora, Littleton, Highlands Ranch and Centennial. The event came after the GOP-led Congress failed to act on President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. And it came as Coffman’s Colorado GOP colleague, Rep. Ken Buck, of Windsor, declared the Republican Party dead in a Denver Post commentary. Buck said the party has accomplished little in Congress and “no longer has a vision for a better America.” Arizona GOP Sen. Jeff Flake, in a newly released book, “Conscience of a Conservative,” echoes that judgment, saying conservatives have abandoned limited-government tenets for their

Mike Coffman, U.S. representative own self-interests in a dysfunctional government. Democrats are equally to blame, Flake says. Coffman, an Aurora resident, ventured that gerrymandered congressional districts that create safe seats are to blame. “Most districts are so red or so blue. They have no reason to compromise,” Coffman said of both party leaders and the vast bulk of members of Congress. His own district, in contrast, remains highly competitive, though Coffman has fended off a succession of Democratic challengers. He said he was considering, along with other lawmakers he didn’t name, filing a brief in support of a lawsuit before the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the way districts in Wisconsin — and potentially across the country — are drawn. There were hoots and boos for his support of a wall along the Mexican

border and his insistence that Obama’s health law be repealed. There were cheers for his support for immigrants, especially U.S. military veterans facing deportation, and his efforts to ensure children brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents are able to stay. Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex was killed in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, asked what Coffman would do if independent counsel Robert Mueller, investigating possible Russian influence in the 2016 election, were fired. “It would be a disaster,” Coffman replied. Like Coffman’s April event, the Aug. 1 attendees needed tickets and photo IDs to get in. No signs bigger than a sheet of paper were allowed. A lottery determined who asked questions, though everyone with a question Aug. 1 had the chance to ask it. “No yelling, shouting or disruptive behavior,” read the congressman’s invitation.

Coffman, first elected in 2008 in a district that now has more Democrats than Republicans, previously avoided town halls, favoring private meetings with constituents or more scripted telephone town halls. He bucked the House Republican majority by voting against healthcare legislation that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said would deprive millions of insurance. While favoring replacing the law, he wants to ensure continued coverage for preexisting conditions. Coffman also has criticized President Donald Trump’s threats to end subsidies to insurance companies. The congressman has opposed efforts to cut Medicaid coverage not only for those who enrolled under the Obama law’s Medicaid expansion but for those covered before the law. Coffman has called for separating debate over cutting health law taxes for the wealthy from changes to the health law and including it in tax reform legislation. He wants a bipartisan effort to support struggling state health insurance markets. Colorado state auditors say Colorado’s own health insurance exchange, which enrolls 178,000 people, may be financially sustainable for the next few years. But participating insurers have proposed drastic premium hikes for individuals next year, and many counties, especially on the Western Slope, have just one insurer in the exchange.

membership declines and average ages climbing into the 70s and 80s. Service organizations have evolved with the times. The Lions didn’t allow women until just a decade ago, and the Elks Lodge was whites-only until 1976. Joining a service organization was expected of working adults at one time, said Littleton Lions Club secretary Roy Donaldson, who joined in 1984. “I was a new bank manager back then,” Donaldson said. “At my bank, they required that you joined a service organization. Companies don’t do that anymore.” Donaldson said that society has shifted many of the tasks service organizations were once known for onto the state and federal government. “We’re known for vision care,” Donaldson said. “But now, if someone needs eyeglasses and can’t afford them, the state buys those for you.” The club’s project list remains ambitious: Meals on Wheels distribution, Salvation Army bell ringing, picking up trash along Littleton Boulevard, scholarship distribution and a bevy of fundraisers for worthy causes. Donaldson said the Lions saw their sharpest growth period in the years following World War II, when

Littleton Lions Club president Rich Waldmeier wraps up a meeting at the Egg & I, in front of a banner festooned with patches celebrating the club’s decades of service projects. DAVID GILBERT returning servicemembers sought to recreate the fellowship they had found in the military. Today, he said, society is more fragmented, but he sees room for growth. “We need members and new ideas and young blood,” Donaldson said. “Millennials and younger are still willing to donate time and money, but it’s often toward other things. People are busier now. When the opportunity arises, they volunteer.”

VOICES

Some conversations really are a matter of life and death

don’t know about Hannah Baker, the fictional character in “13 Reasons Why.” I just now read about the Netflix series and why there has been a huge spike in searches for “suicide.” The series was a success, and even though Baker ended her life, she is returning for the sequel. I no longer underestimate the profit motive in some of us. Am I qualified to make informed remarks about suicide? Absolutely not, but it has crossed my mind: I think it should, just like a lot of other challenging subjects we all contemplate in life. But I know that there is a World Suicide Prevention Day, a National Suicide Preven-

tion Week, and a Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month. I don’t get it. It seems to me that it should be yeararound. But we do like to compartmentalize some things, like Mother’s Day. Mother’s damn day is three hundred and sixty-five. The possible causes of suicide I will leave to scholars, but I know depression is one of them. Things (people) constantly depress me, but I do not have chronic depression. I know people who do, and when it takes over, the outcome can be tragic. What makes life worth living? And what makes life worth dying? Again, I am underqualified. But if I were a teenager right now, and knew what was going

on here and in the world, I might need all the help I could find. And all of the help that could find me. The country has never been more divided, and it gets more so all the time. An 11-day White House communications director said things, on record, that were so vile they had to be bleeped when they were reported. Almost daily, some segment of the population is undermined or denunciated. For example, the LGBT community. Maybe Baker was jilted. Overweight? Not pretty enough?

ent groups of people and individuals recently, it has become increasingly apparent that too many of us do not even know or understand what success looks like in the future or what they are hoping to accomplish in the near term, let alone down the road. Now before the Ziglar and Covey fans reading this column shout heresy, you should remember that one of Mr. Ziglar’s other quotes is this, “People who never take step one, can never take step two.” At first glance, these quotes may SEE NORTON, P13

Scrutinizing Coffman’s plan In response to “Plan has potential of moving ACA replacement forward,” a guest column by U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman: Representative Coffman’s proposal for repealing and replacing the ACA presents information on healthcare and tax legislation in such a way that readers might come away misinformed on several issues. Mr. Coffman’s refers to “able-bodied adults” now covered through the Medicaid expansion. This terminology implies that these folks do not deserve assistance. Yet, the Kaiser Family Foundation research finds most are working, but earning only up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. They cannot afford coverage. Mr. Coffman goes on to say that “it makes no sense … that the federal government would favor (funding) able-bodied adults over all other Medicaid recipients such as disabled children, whose costs are reimbursed at 50 percent ....” The 90 percent federal funding for expansion was necessary to get states to buy into the program.

the rate of uninsured American adults has fallen to 11.7 percent. If the federal contribution for the Medicaid expansion were to go to 50 percent, as Mr. Coffman proposes, it is likely that states now participating would not continue to do so and we would see our uninsured rates skyrocket once again. Mr. Coffman proposes that taxes funding the healthcare exchange subsidies be addressed through tax reform; not healthcare legislation. GOP tax reform proposals focus only on cutting taxes; not on revenue to fund the health of the American public (Information from the Tax Foundation). Finally, Mr. Coffman suggests he is ready for a bipartisan effort to lower health insurance costs. This is his sixth term as U.S. representative from CD 6. Why has he waited so long and voted so consistently against legislation that would support the well-being of so many “able-bodied adults” and disabled children?

seem to contradict one another, but they really do not. The truth is that they complement each other quite nicely. Let’s think about this for a minute. It is awesome to have a vision for the future, I highly encourage it. What I am hearing from some of you is that the world is changing so much and with such frequency that it is hard to think about goals and future plans. As difficult as it is for some of us, this may still be short-sighted thinking. Maybe we can agree that it is important to have all; short-term goals, mid-range goals, and long-term goals. Before we can set any of our goals, long or short, we do at least have to know what we hope to accomplish at any level. The excuse or cop-out is thinking that it’s OK to justify, explain, or defend the position of, “I don’t know what it is that I want to be or do in this life.” So now we go full circle, do we start with the end in mind or do we begin with the beginning in mind? You may already have your own system for this, but if you don’t I would suggest

looking at all three types of goals and write down only one thing in each area. Simply fill in the blank: My one short-term goal is ______. My one mid-range goal is ______. My one long-term goal is _______. Really, do not overcomplicate this, just think of one thing for each level of your goals. And if we want to get even more specific, my immediate goal is _______. It is a pity if we are lost or get lost in the blur of a fuzzy future because we may never take step one. All we need is one little thought that we can build upon. Just a seed of an idea that motivates us enough to take only the first step. And when we do, steps two, three, four, and more will follow. So how about you? Do you know how to get started and are already well on your way to achieving your hopes and dreams? Or are you in the place where you need to start with that first step? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can begin with the beginning in mind, it really will be a better than good day.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

mistreated by others when we are young can mean everything. Actor George Sanders left three suicides notes, but only one of them gets quoted. “Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck.” In the film “Wonder Boys,” Toby Maguire’s character recites all of Hollywood’s suicides, including Sanders’, by cause, in alphabetical order. Suicides have been featured in films for as long as there have been films. One, “The Children’s Hour,” was very controversial for its time (1961), because it focuses on two women who run a girls’ school who are accused of being lovers. One of the women commits suicide.

We have a management problem This comment responds to U.S. Rep Mike Coffman’s recent guest column regarding ACA replacement. I read independent reviews of healthcare systems in tier 1 countries. Other nations score higher than us on an “outcomes” basis. And citizens of those countries pay onehalf or less than us. What a boon to our economy given the quality and cost of other tier 1 countries. We have a management problem: 1. U.S. healthcare has multiple systems. This defeats cost management and efficiency. Our systems include: insurance companies, the VA, the U.S. Congress, Medicare and Medicaid, local systems. Efficiency would be possible with a single system. If the GOP rejects a federal option, give the whole thing to Kaiser-Permanente. I think a system

like Kaiser could work. 2. Healthcare is a basic need for everyone — it should not be tied to a profit. The agenda of insurance companies is to make a profit. I have no problem with private companies making a profit – they must or go out of business. But healthcare should have one agenda: the patient. 3. Remember the double-digit increases in medical insurance premiums, year after year, prior to the ACA? We’ve already tried the private sector running healthcare. Why did the ACA become law? Why return to a failed system? And please recall the rate of increases in medical premiums has decreased under the ACA. 4. Do you know people who would leave their job or elect early retirement and start a new venture – but don’t because they would lose employer-sponsored insurance? Consider the entrepreneurial explosion (and the boost in employment) if the U.S. had universal health insurance! Jim Rankin Littleton

In 2015, California became the fifth state to allow physician-assisted suicide. I had a friend who often asked me to take her to Oregon. Oregon was the first to legalize assisted suicide for terminally ill, mentally competent adults. None of the five makes provisions for disconnected youth. It’s a good thing. Aren’t we all disconnected at one time or another, especially in high school? My own circumstances — single, older, retired male — are ripe for checking out, too. I have no plans. Many of us find comfort in faith, and then read about some faiths being targeted by graffiti, desecrations and violence. What would I say to my son or daughter about suicide? Perhaps nothing. I would listen first.

GUNS

Common threads reported in burglaries

FROM PAGE 1

Links to other crimes? An Aurora man, Eric Perez, 20, pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm after his blood was found at the scene of a burglary at Colorado Gun Broker in south Jefferson County last year. Two of the stolen guns were found in his bedroom, and he was sentenced to six years in prison. Law enforcement agencies in Colorado have recovered 70 guns stolen from dealers since the beginning of 2017, Meiman said. One was recovered after a teenage boy allegedly shot another teenager with it in Edgewater in July. “We’ve seen a few turn up in crimes,” Meiman said. “Stolen guns are often bartered or traded for drugs, given to criminal friends and associates. Some are sold, but the vast majority are never seen again.” Besides the ATF, numerous agencies are working in close contact on the cases, said Littleton Police Department Division Chief Kim Ferber. “County sheriffs, city police, gun dealers — this is big for all of us,” Ferber said. “We’re looking at forensics, monitoring social media — we’re working this a lot of different ways.”

Ferber said there were burglaries at a gas station on Broadway and another store on Littleton Boulevard almost at the same time as the Warhorse burglary, though investigators aren’t sure if they’re related. Littleton police tried to stop a red Ford pickup in one of the burglaries, but it got away. The truck, listed as stolen from Aurora, had the license plate 764-ITS. Security ‘recommendations’ Gun dealers can help prevent thefts with robust

security practices, Meiman said . “We tell our gun stores: the truly determined thieves are difficult to stop,” Meiman said. “But if you can slow them down, prevent them from getting in easy, prevent them from being able to obtain guns easily within the store, that makes all the difference. Criminals only have a couple minutes before they have to run out.” Warhorse Firearms managerTony Zajicek would not comment on the recent

e 104 r o t S e c n onvenie C n r e t s We RING!

burglary at his shop or on the store’s security. The ATF, which licenses gun dealers, issues best practices guidelines for gun dealers but has no security requirements. The recommendations include securing all firearms after business hours, investing in motion-detecting camera systems and reinforcing all windows and frames. “They’re all recommendations,” Meiman said. “Insurance might have other thoughts.”

HOW TO HELP The ATF is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of suspects in this year’s burglaries. Anyone with information can call the tip line at 1-800-ATF-GUNS, or Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP. They can also submit a tip at reportit.com or through the ATF’s “reportit” app.

Equestrian art is mane reason to see exhibit Love of wildlife, livestock apparent in Phippen and Saunders’ show

“The Dreamer,” oil on canvas by well recognized western painter Sarah Phippen, is exhibited at Town Hall’s Stanton Gallery through August.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

What could be more appropriate for an art exhibit celebrating Western Welcome Week than a collection of works by two outstanding local equestrian artists? Sarah Phippen and Rachel Saunders have long ago mastered the knowledge of painting and the anatomy of a horse and have moved on to the storytelling aspects of their work, inviting a viewer into their distinctive worlds. Phippen, who grew up “surrounded by livestock

“EAST MEETS WEST,” the Western Heritage art exhibit celebrating Western Welcome Week, with works by equestrian painters Sarah Phippen and Rachel Saunders, runs through August at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W.

and wildlife at the base of the Rocky Mountains,” also grew up with the artistic legacy of her grandfather, painter George Phippen, to inspire her. (Note the Phippen Museum in Prescott, Arizona.) She began formal lessons at 14 and creates paintings and sculptures that are nationally rec-

ognized. Her technically skilled oil on canvas paintings show her empathy with horses. Her subjects include “horses and cattle, cowboys and land — but especially horses,” according to her website. She pictures them at work and at play. “I find everything horses do interest-

ing. Their emotions become a kind of allegory to my own experiences,” she writes. Saunders, focused on the connections between horse and rider, writes that she “went to school to become an art historian, but found myself making a living as an artisan and muralist, eventually running my own decora-

tive painting company.” “In recent years I have returned to my original passion, painting on canvas,” she writes. “Initially I worked across a broad range of subject matter but found myself returning to the horse again and again. As a rider myself I have a deep passion for the equine human relationship …”

Eclipse is the best kind of shady deal Libraries join in marking occasion as moon blocks sun BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On Aug. 21, the U.S will experience its first total eclipse in more than 38 years. Next one to pass over Colorado will be in 2045. The effect won’t be total in the Denver area — a wee crescent will remain, but it’s really close and excitement will grow as the date draws near. (To experience in totality, one would have to travel north, such as to Casper, Wyoming, where accommodations have been booked for months, as they are all across the nation in targeted spots.)

Locally, some libraries (Arapahoe and Douglas County that we know of) are hosting related story and craft sessions in advance for children. “Coming to a Sky Near You” at Arapahoe’s branches includes facts and myths and a take-home eclipse viewer. For details, go to arapahoelibraries.org or call 303-LIBRARY. And, a follow-up: at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 28, Araphoe offers “Sun and Moon Stories,” describing how ancient civilizations explained why the moon is eating the sun and more (ages 5-12). Libraries in both districts will host viewing parties at 9 a.m. on Aug. 21. (Douglas County will have special viewing glasses until they run out.) Important: Proper eclipse-viewing glasses are essential and sunglasses are NOT adequate protection from severe burns and even blindness. (A scientist on NPR half-joked that in a location like ours, one could get a

crescent-shaped burn.) The American Astronomical Society says to be certain the disposable glasses are ISO-certified. (It says so on the inside.) Suggested brands are: Rainbow Symphony, American Paper Optics and Thousand Oaks Optical, and they will be available in stores and from Amazon, but a scam warning says non-certified brands will also be around — be careful. Arapahoe Community College’s Astronomy faculty head, Jennifer Jones, who some may have met at her Star Parties, says there will be a viewing event on the west patio at ACC from 9 a.m. on, with filters on the college’s two telescopes, to provide safe images. The college is at 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton. Aug. 21 is also the first day of classes at ACC, so it may get a bit hectic there. It will be possible to download pic-

tures from the telescopes, Jones said. Students from the active ACC Astronomy Club will head to Casper, to join other students across the nation with cameras mounted in NASA balloons. The club presently has about 12 members, she said, and new students will be welcome to join its activities, including space projects and monthly Star Parties (monthly in Littleton and once a semester at Castle Rock Campus — the public is welcomed to these as well). Parker’s PACE Center also offers some astronomy instruction. Some advanced reading with children about the related mythology could be fun. Ancient people were really astonished and frightened by eclipses and invented imaginative and sometimes wacky tales to explain. Observe animals as well — they may have unusual responses, according to writings ancient and modern.

biography of the band’s career. “We’re forever touring, we’re always on the road,” Delisle said. “We’re looking forward to coming to Colorado

and having a good time.” The band will take a different approach to this tour, playing smaller clubs and parks than they have in years past, a

good fit for the park. “We decided to try a stripped-down, semi-acoustic kind of event. We really enjoy it. It gives us the chance to engage with the fans and the crowd and the crowd seems to really dig it,” Delisle said. The audience “should expect a party. We like to bring a lot of energy. It’s not going to be a sit-down fest, that’s for sure.” Now veterans of the music industry with a string of hits like “All-Star,” “Then the Morning Comes” and “Walkin’ on the Sun,” Delisle said the band is looking forward to playing with bands the members listened to as kids, as well as looking ahead. “One of the shows we’re playing is with The Romantics, and they’re celebrating their 40th anniversary as a band this year,” Delisle said. “That kind of gives us hope

SUPPLIES FROM PAGE 16

By working with 9News and the Volunteers of America Colorado branch, Larry H. Miller dealerships have hosted a “Stuff for Students” school supply drive for three years. School supply donations are collected throughout August and are distributed to more than 15 school districts around the state. Approximately 23 percent of the 743,255 students in the counties served by Volunteers of America are living in poverty, compared to the state average of 14.7 percent, according to information provided by Larry H. Miller. Colorado school districts identify nearly 25,000 students statewide who are experiencing homelessness. “We’ve received more than $26,000 in donations at our dealership locations,” said Todd Hoskins, general manager of Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood. “We’re a pay-it-forward organization, and education is very important to us. We want to make sure we take care of everyone.” Social media creates peer pressure Such items as backpacks, notebooks, pencils and other standard items are in demand, and will always be in demand, according to Barbara Penning, director of volunteer programs and in-kind donations with the Action Center. “There’s all kinds of pressure for kids’ supplies to stay current with what’s popular, and they get even more from social media,” she said. “Parents can sometimes skip a mortgage or rent payment to pay for supplies, and that’s not a choice we want them to make.” A key tenet of the Action Center’s approach is giving families a chance to shop for the supplies themselves during a five-day distribution event. All supplies are free for the families, and volunteers make Stevens Elementary’s gym look like a store where parents and children can pick out the items they need. “We accept donations year-round to make sure we have enough supplies for everyone, and we get businesses and organizations who donate hundreds to thousands of items,” Penning added. “We have all kinds of volunteers who work hard to get everything and ready out to families in need in a dignified manner.” Which is where people like Bradsby come in, donating their time and resources to help in any way they can. “With what we do, school supplies become one huge expense they don’t have to worry about,” she said of helping at the Action Center. “We all want to help our neighbors, and that’s who these people are — our neighbors.”

Museum of Outdoor Arts outdoes itself once more Emerging creators offer works that show power of imagination BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A small group of early elementary age children, in bright turquoise matching shirts, stopped wide-eyed at the entrance to the indoor galleries at the Museum Outdoor Arts in Englewood on Aug. 1. On the right and left are original works by the 2017 Design and Build interns, who had just completed an eight-week intense experience led by artist-in-residence Cory Gilstrap, a master teacher. Centrally located is “Milestones,” a giant collaborative sculptural piece that looks like a cairn made of huge rocks. “How did they do that?” “Milestones,” created with papier-mache and paint, represents a cairn, used since ancient times “as a reference point for future navigation.

Ignite. Innovate.” It will run through Sept. 22, and “Milestones” is a particular contrast to some of the small, beautifully crafted individual works, such as “Study in Weaving” by textile artist Keenan Ferguson, who explores traditional weaving techniques in an especially well-presented and lighted piece. The “emerging artists” who participated this summer focused on creating collaborative public art as a team, based on their individual skills and

It still smells earthy. Just look from the edges, a sign asks — which will be pretty tough for little people to accept! In the dark back gallery is “Nexus,” another collaborative work, which symbolizes the need for human connection. Tiny lights, representing individuals, fade and relight in staggered timing, “signifying that energy and life is not stagnant, but constantly dimming, reemerging and syncing within a network of relationships.” It represents the show’s message.

‘If you saw a boat, you were lucky’ 99-year-old British veteran gives his account of Dunkirk rescue BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Critics and historians alike have praised the Christopher Nolan motion

picture “Dunkirk” for its inspiring and accurate account of an important moral victory in the early months of World War II, when civilian mariners were called upon to sail whatever boats were available across the English Channel to rescue approximately 340,000 British troops from certain capture or defeat in northern France. But John Carpenter didn’t need to see the blockbuster film to know what

happened at Dunkirk in 1940. He was there. “It was chaos,” Carpenter said. “If you saw a boat, you were lucky.” Carpenter, 99, was a private in the 48th Regiment of the British Army and has lived in Parker for seven years. His daughter, Pat Cowan, moved to the United States after marrying a member of the United States Air Force in 1956, and in the 1970s Carpenter and his late wife came across the Atlantic Ocean to be with them. But at the outset of the war, he was stationed in the French town of Lille. When his commander learned that the German army was about to surround British forces, the captain gave carpenter an order he almost couldn’t believe. “He said `Get back to the beach as fast as you can,’ ” Carpenter said. “It was every man for himself.” His captain disappeared after giving the order, leaving Carpenter and his friend Wally to find their way from Lille to the beach at Dunkirk alone. Carpenter contends the film’s depiction of the evacuation was excellent, though it didn’t match his experience. When he and Wally eventually made it to the waterfront, there was no dock and no officers to direct troops to ships. “Every man was all pushing and shoving,” Carpenter said. “We lost a lot of men, young boys really, all 20 and 21… The boys were just on their own.” As he and Wally sat against a sand dune, resigned that they would be killed by a sniper’s bullet or one of the German Messerschmitt planes strafing the beach, they were surprised to see help on the way. “It was a shock to me, because I said `that is a pleasure boat coming in,’ ” he said. “Then I was made to understand there were a lot of small boats coming.” Unable to swim, Carpenter was pulled onto the steamer, where dozens of other men lay trembling with cold and fear. German planes attacked

John Carpenter, 99, holds court in his Parker apartment and recounts his experiences in World War II.

the boats, including Carpenter’s, but he felt safe when the boat’s captain brought the men a cup of tea. Upon his return to England, Carpenter and many other Dunkirk survivors were discharged with what would now be referred to as posttraumatic stress disorder. But he couldn’t sit out the war, so he joined the American Red Cross, crossing the English Channel to transport wounded soldiers to safety. After the Allied victory, Carpenter largely put the war, and the events at Dunkirk, out of his mind. Though there was one reunion, by chance, on a London sidewalk, that he cherishes. “He looked at me and said `Carpenter!’ ” It was Capt. Wright, the officer who gave him the evacuation order in Lille and promptly disappeared. “I went to salute him,” he said. Wright grabbed Carpenter’s arm to prevent the salute and embraced his former private. “He got hold of me and said `Good boy, you got out alive.’ ”

Arapahoe High graduates left tour, but still racing ‘The Ginger Twins’ work in bike industry, compete in races such as the Littleton Criterium BY BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ompeting in the men’s pro race at the Aug. 5 Littleton Twilight Criterium bicycle race was like a homecoming for Arapahoe High School graduates Kevin and Conor Mullervy. “It was a lot of fun riding in one of Colorado’s biggest bike race so close to where we grew up,” Kevin said the day after the race. “We rode for the Clifbar team in the race. Our team did well and Conor finished 10th. I did pretty well and I think I was 22nd in the field of about 75 racers.” The red-headed twin brothers graduated from Arapahoe High School in 2006 and got

The Mullervy twins push their bikes around a corner during a recent training session. The brothers grew up in Littleton and are nicknamed the Ginger Twins because of their red hair.

like a cool sport so we joined a team our senior year at Arapahoe High School,” Kevin said. “We graduated from Mesa State and then became

Denver Bulldogs take football down under Aussie Rules team one of best in league BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There was a lot about Melbourne, Australia, that Troy Kirk missed when he moved to Colorado years ago with his wife — family, friends and football. “I missed everything about the sport when I moved here but an old coach had told me there was an amateur league over here,” Kirk remembers. “I contacted the boys out here, and the rest is history.” The boys he’s referring to are the Denver Bulldogs, Colorado’s only Australian Football club. The club has a men’s division one team, men’s division four team, and a women’s team, and was founded in 1997 — just a year after the United States Australian Football League (USAFL) was founded. “Aussie Rules Football is very different to American Football, and in terms of movement is more like soccer or basketball, where the movement can be 360 degrees,” said Casey Robertson, co-coach of the Bulldogs’ division one team. “If someone wants

The Denver Bulldogs practices and plays in Lakewood’s Washington Heights Park and Denver City Park, and people are encouraged to attend and learn about the sport. PHOTO COURTESY OF TROY KIRK

to watch a continuous game, unlike American Football, there is a lot of physical contact, spectacular plays and high scoring then a Bulldogs match is where to go.” In Aussie Rules Football, the main method to move the ball is to kick it. Kicks can be anywhere from 10 yards to about 60 yards in length, but players can also move the football with what

is called a “hand ball,” Robertson explained. A hand ball is when one player punches the ball to a teammate. Teams accumulate points by kicking a goal or a point. The goals are four upright posts: two tall posts in the middle and a shorter post on either side of the large posts. A team scores a goal (worth six points) when they kick the ball between the two tall posts. A

point (worth a single point) is when a team kicks the ball between one of the tall posts and one of the short posts. “It’s a mix of all American sports — if you take baseball, soccer, basketball, ultimate Frisbee, hockey, running, and football, put it in a blender, you would have Australian Rules football,” said Andy Vanica, another member of the Bulldogs. “It’s very different from NFL as there are no pads, the field is round, and there are no set downs. It is often described as a game of hot-potato that looks like chaos.” The USAFL is home to about 39 teams from all over the county, and the season usually runs from late May to mid-October. In the 20 years since the club’s founding, the men’s team has won eight national championships, and the women’s team has won six, making the Bulldogs one of the most successful teams in the league, Kirk said. One of the best things about the sport, according to the players, is the openness of the club and the culture if fosters. Club members come from all over the Denver Metro Area and beyond. Training sessions and games are held at Washington Heights Park, 6375 W. 1st Ave. in Lakewood, and at SEE BULLDOGS, P26

They were members of pro bike racing teams that travel all over the world and often compete in as many as 90 events a year. When not in competition, the team members train 15 to 40 hours a week. Kevin said he and his brother eventually decided to leave the professional circuit. “We did travel all over the world and saw a lot of places and things we may not have seen otherwise,” he said. “While that sounds like a great life, it really isn’t. That is because for 10 months you are constantly moving from place to place and living out of a suitcase. Conor and I finally decided it was time to leave the tour.” Kevin noted that racing at the professional level requires special equipment. He rides an Aragon 18 top-of-the-line racing bike that is all carbon fiber and weighs about 13 pounds. The price tag is about $12,000. The brothers now have careers in the bike racing industry. Both work for Stags Cycling, a Boulder company that manufactures and sells wattage meters for racing bikes. Wattage meters are a way to measure the energy a rider is generating during a workout or in competition. “We still enjoy racing,” Kevin said Aug. 6. “It was a lot of fun to compete in the Littleton race yesterday and we are racing in the Bannock Criterium today.”

Kevin Mullervy moves in behind the leader of the Senior Men’s Professional Race that was part of the Aug. 5 Littleton Twilight Criterium. Mullervy and his brother, Conor, grew up in Littleton and are part of the Clifbar Racing team. Conor finished 10th in the race and Kevin finished 22nd in the field of about 75 racers. TOM MUNDS

Denver City Park, 2001 Colorado Boulevard, on Saturdays. Not only are people encouraged to watch the training sessions, but they can participate if interested. “I wish more people knew how much fun competing is, and the club is in general,” Robertson said. “The fact that the sport is full contact is loved by our American players as many of them have not played a full contact sport since high school or college. Our club is very welcoming to everyone, whether you are an athlete or not, a good player or not, experienced or inexperienced, young or old. If you just want to be part of the club off the field then we are happy to have you.” For Kirk, Robertson and Vanica, football has given them another family and community to be a part of. “It’s a very tough game, both physically and mentally, and there is a mutual respect that develops among teammates,” Vanica said. “The football club sports culture in Australia is also unique where entire communities and towns will

revolve around the football club. It’s very special.” With at least two months of games left, Kirk hopes more people will come out and see what Aussie Rules is all about. “Australian Football is one of the most fast paced, exciting games in the world,” he said. “People will fall in love after one game.”

Castle Rock Band recalls days of ‘Buffalo Bill’ Cody BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In commemoration of the 100-year anniversary of “Buffalo Bill” Cody’s death, the Castle Rock Band, directed by history buff Andy Goodger, will present seldom-performed arrangements of band music once played internationally by Cody’s Wild West Cowboy Band. (Posters and historic photos of the entertainers are plentiful online.) The community band’s free concert at 2 p.m. Aug. 19 will be its first appearance in Castle Rock’s new Miller Park Amphitheater. The Wild West Show’s cast of 1,200 included sharpshooters (Annie Oakley and Frank Butler) and Native Americans, including Chief Sitting Bull, as well as musicians, when it played across America and Europe to large crowds from 1883 to 1913 — resulting in a desire among many in the audiences to visit the romanticized American West. Castle Rock Band musician and co-founder Kent Brandeberry, who has a special interest in the period and Cowboy Band’s work, gained access to original music the band used. The band even had its own arrangement of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” before it became our national anthem in 1931. Brandeberry did his postgraduate study at the University of Wyoming. He contacted an acquaintance in Powell, Wyoming, who had uncovered origi-

IF YOU GO THE CASTLE ROCK BAND will perform music from Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show at 2 p.m. Aug. 19 at the Miller Park Amphitheater. Miller Park is at 1375 W. Plum Creek Parkway, Castle Rock. Admission is free. The band of volunteer musicians welcomes new members. See castlerockband.org. nals in the basement of the National Archives, according to band publicist Erica Stull. Photocopies allowed the band to step back in time and perform songs as they were played at the turn of the 20th century. Among the Wild West Band’s live-wire arrangements, the Castle Rock Band will play Handel’s “See, the Conquering Hero Comes,” which was Buffalo Bill’s entry music. Close your eyes and imagine the Grand Entry parade ... Also on the program: “The Color Guard March” by T.H. Rollinson; “Sweeney’s Cavalcade March,” by W. Paris Chambers; “Wyoming Days,” by K. L. King; “Tenting on the Old Campground,” by W. S. Ripley; and “Buffalo Bill’s Farewell,” by Cowboy Band director William Sweeney. Stull said that while individual scores exist for instrumental parts, there’s no conductor’s score, so Goodger is working from the trumpet part to produce this very special concert.

BUSINESS FROM PAGE 9

SNAP recipients who shop at participating farmers’ markets to have their purchase matched with a voucher worth up to $20 per visit, providing them with more access to fresh, healthy food options, Metzinger said. Double Up started as a statewide partnership effort led by LiveWell Colorado, the Colorado Department of Human Services, the Colorado Farmers Market Association, Cooking Matters-Colorado, the City of Greeley and Boulder County Public Health. In its inaugural year, 38 farmers’ markets and farm stand locations participated in Double Up. This year, 70 farmers’ markets statewide now offer Double Up. Among the newcomers is the Golden Chamber of Commerce’s Golden Farmers Market, which is managed by Colorado Fresh Markets. “Golden has done a wonderful thing by creating a more welcoming, inclusive farmers’ market,” Metzinger said. Veterans lend a helping hand In the spring and fall each year, the Denver Botanic Gardens and a Colorado-based organization called Veterans to Farmers work collaboratively to bring the Chatfield Farms Veterans Farm Program to men and women who have served the country. The benefit to veterans is two-fold, said Erin Bird, communication manager for Denver Botanic Gardens. It provides horticulture therapy and an

opportunity to learn the necessary skills to pursue a career in agriculture after leaving the armed forces. “They all love the program. They take so much pride in what they’re doing,” Bird said. “And there’s the camaraderie of working alongside others who have served.” With the program, veterans grow produce at the Denver Botanic Gardens’ Chatfield Farms, a 700-acre native plant refuge and working farm in southern Jefferson County. They receive hands-on experience with key farming topics, such as irrigation, harvesting, composting, canning/preserving and even beekeeping, in addition to learning business planning topics such as recordkeeping and marketing. The program has seen its share of success stories, Bird said. Every participant receives a certificate of completion, and some have continued on to start or manage their own farms, while others have gotten jobs at nurseries or other similar organizations in the industry. Once the produce is harvested from Chatfield Farms, it is delivered in a refrigerated truck to several weekly farm stands in the Denver area, located in neighborhoods that are either food insecure or within a food desert, meaning there is not easy access to healthy, fresh food. The farm stands, which accept SNAP benefits, are a partnership with Denver Human Services and are open from June to October. “The community is thrilled to have this come to those who are in need,”

Bird said. “And it’s a great way to engage and support as many people as we can in the Denver area.” Creating economic partnerships Creating partnerships among local and regional food vendors is also key to meeting the clamor for healthy food, while growing the local food economy. “The demand is there, and the supply will grow as we connect urban and rural communities,” Kimberly Mudd said. Farmers market shoppers tend to pay attention to their products’ food miles — a way to measure the transport of a food item from producer to consumer, Nathan Mudd said. But, because not everything can be grown in Colorado, some vendors with Main Street Markets — where 90 percent of vendors sell food — have partnerships with other regional farmers. For example, cherries from Colorado are already done for the season, but are still at their peak in Montana, Nathan Mudd pointed out. Having a partnership with a Montana cherry farmer can bring the product to Colorado farmers’ markets, while still providing shoppers with the knowledge of the food miles. “If we can keep our food identity preserved with regional partners, then we’re allowing the shopper to always know where their food comes from,” Nathan Mudd said. “It’s a statewide and regional solution.” Connecting community The main goal of the Edgewater

Farmers Market is creating a true neighbor-to-market experience, said Anthony Murray, the City of Edgewater’s market coordinator. The market uniquely takes place on Thursday evenings — most other markets run during the daytime hours on the weekends — in a historic shopping district. People enjoy the variety of fruits and vegetable vendors, most of which come from within a 10-mile radius of the Denver metro area. Among them is Sprout City Farms, a nonprofit organization that accepts SNAP and has the mission to cultivate education and urban farms to engage and strengthen communities. But some of the produce to be found at the market also comes from Edgewater residents themselves, Murray said. HEALthy Edgewater, a co-op of local residents, has two initiatives to promote healthy eating and active living in the community. One is bringing backyard farmers and gardeners to the market to sell their produce, Murray said. What sets the city’s market apart from others, though, he said, is the diversity of entertainment: There’s also live music and children’s activities such as face painting and balloon animals to create an atmosphere of community getting together to experience an amazing sunset on a warm summer night. “The farmers market is all about enjoying yourself,” Murray said. “It’s a time to unwind, listen to live music and shop for fresh produce and intricate arts and crafts.”

Cobos, that I had to be a contractor so Preferred Companies did not have to register for employee federal and state taxes or worker’s compensation. On May 16, 2017, I took the time to research how to, and formulated, a consulting company in order to comply with Preferred Companies. I also told a current employer I would no longer be working with them due to full-time employment with Preferred Companies. During my first week with Preferred Companies, I submitted two proposals, conducted a financial review of the company, and attempted to onboarding though gaining access to appropriate platforms was extremely slow in forthcoming. I inquired to the third party who introduced us and was informed that Sonia Cobas was irritated I was paid more than she was and therefore was creating internal problems and that Lance Slayton had taken on too many projects and suddenly had to deliver. During the week of May 22nd, I continued to attempt to standby for needed access and corresponded with the Lance Slayton, owner of Preferred Companies, about moving forward with limited responses only to discover on my own on May 25, 2017, that all my access to company platforms and my email account through Preferred Companies was shut off. I inquired with Lance Slayton as to what was occurring and to date I have received no response. On May 26th, I sent Sonia Cobos and Lance Slayton my invoice for the week of May 15th and have received no response about when payment will be made. In conclusion, Preferred Companies took up 2 weeks of my professional time, I had to formulate my own business specifically for Preferred Companies and which I am now responsible for, I left a previous employer which has left me in a precarious financial situation, and I am investing additional professional time and resources into obtaining back payment through the Arapahoe Country Small Claims Court.
