Marathon proposal moving forward

ROAD WARRIORS

City council OKs mixed-use Littleton Village project By Jennifer Smith

Cyclists pedal their way to the finish line during Littleton’s Western Welcome Week Criterium Bicycle Race. The race proved to be just as exciting for the spectators as it was for racers.

Professional cyclists from across the state gathered in downtown Littleton Aug. 11 for the city’s first ever Criterium Bicycle Race. The closed-course road challenge offered several races throughout the day to accommodate a variety of age groups and skill sets. The afternoon men’s and women’s race packed the streets with spectators who found the event almost as exciting as the racers. The Criterium was an exciting new addition to the city’s annual Western Welcome Week activities, celebrating the community’s deep-rooted western heritage.

While history has shown that one should never presume any plan is a done deal, the mixed-use Littleton Village proposal for the old Marathon property does seem to be wrapped up for now. Littleton City Council unanimously approved a zoning change on Aug. 6 that allows Watt Investment Partners to move forward with the purchase and development of the 77-acre site at Broadway and Dry Creek Road. It’s basically the same plan approved after a substantial amount of public debate in 2006, which went into suspended animation after the economy crashed. “We went through a lot of brain damage in 2006,” recalled Councilor Jim Taylor. But then Watt entered the picture late last year. Its team wanted to build basically the same community, but needed council’s approval to change the layout somewhat to better accommodate retail. Council’s approval paves the way for 250,000 square feet of commercial property and up to 900 residential units. The west side will be oriented toward Broadway, with boutique shops in front, and medium-size boxes — like Kohl’s or a grocery store — behind. In the middle are a park and two apartment buildings, limited to no more than four stories. Single-family homes will fill the east side, backing up to the existing residential neighborhood. Even Littleton resident Paul Bingham, who fought the plan in 2006 and has recently been actively working against proposed multifamily projects around town, said he

Mainstreet mainstay Jose’s to close Restaurant has been a Littleton favorite for 47 years By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Phyllis and Jose Trujillo are ready to rest. The family announced last week that they will soon serve the final meal in their Main Street restaurant, Jose’s, after 47 years of devoted care to the building, the business, the family recipes and the community. “After a great deal of thought, it is our decision to slow down after this September,” they wrote in a letter to friends and family. “Phyllis and I, as well as our daughters, Teri and Chris, POSTAL ADDRESS

have built our business as a point of destination and a Littleton landmark. We’re proud to have fed generations of families here in the city we love.” Behind the straightforward letter is a host of conflicting emotions for the Trujillos. They speak of a burden being lifted, of looking forward to traveling. Mrs. Trujillo would like to see the East Coast in autumn; Mr. Trujillo wants to ride the Mississippi River in a paddleboat. They both would like to see some festivals around the state other than Western Welcome Week for a change — in Palisade, perhaps.

Bennet tours immigrant center ‘Gang of Eight’ used Littleton program as a national model By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colorado, stopped by Littleton’s Bemis Public Library, home of the Littleton Immigrtant Resource Center, on Aug. 6. Bennet and the so-called “Gang of Eight” used the center as a model for part of the immigration-reform bill that passed the Senate in June. “This is a great example of how to do it right,” said Bennet. He met with volunteers, students, mentors and lots of people who keep the program ticking. One of those was Ikbal Maardni, a Syrian woman who came to Colorado in 2004. She earned citizenship in 2012 with help from LIRC and still works with its volunteers to improve her English. She enjoyed the library setting so much that she volunteered there for seven years and became a paid employee two years ago. Bennet asked her how she ended up in Littleton. “I love everything,” she said. “The weather, trees, everything is green — it’s not in my country. And the people are very nice, especially the people who work here.” Mayor Debbie Brinkman said LIRC staff has worked very hard to help Maardni and

other newcomers feel at home. “Welcoming them and assisting them in their assimilation makes a lot more sense than making them feel isolated,” she said. “We need to integrate people into our country,” agreed Bennet. “We are a nation of immigrants, and a nation that subscribes to the rule of law.” Bennet’s bill seeks to provide upward of $100 million in federal support for local programs such as LIRC. They’ll be essential to ensuring the success of other aspects of the law, he said, like the requirement to learn English. “You can require it, but if you don’t actually have programs in place to teach English, you’re not going to succeed,” said Bennet. Tim Nimz, library director, said such national attention on LIRC is a great boon as it seeks to sustain itself, especially as a service not normally offered by municipalities. “That’s, I think, a real compliment to what’s happening with the program and the priorities of the community,” he said. LIRC grew out of work done during the 2004 Littleton Community Retreat, which brings together citizens to brainstorm topics of interest and emerge with a common purpose. The theme that year was “Welcoming and Involving New Americans.” “I became concerned that if we didn’t reach out to new people, we could end up as a divided, we/they community,” said Susan Thornton, an LCR organizer.

Familiarity breeds strong communities National Night Out event brings neighbors together By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Mary and Josh O’Rourke looked around their neighborhood one day and realized it was full of kids for the first time in a long time. “In the last couple years, all of these young families are moving in,” said Mary O’Rourke. So the return of National Night Out Aug. 6 after a two-year hiatus seemed like the perfect time to get to know them better. “Littleton neighbors and business owners are encouraged to organize block parties to strengthen neighborhood spirit and develop community partnerships with the police department,” reads the city’s website, and the O’Rourkes are all about that. They’re members of the Littleton Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, volunteers with South Platte Park and generally in the know about Littleton goingson. They saw a chance to share that knowledge with the younger generation, many of whom were unfamiliar with even Western

Welcome Week. So they made up fliers and door-hangers and hit the streets in their Little’s Creek Park neighborhood, encouraging people to bring side dishes, chairs and donations for the local food bank. Turnout was great, with oodles of kids enjoying outside activities like chalk art. Old-timers introduced themselves to the young’uns, city council candidates schmoozed, and everyone got to know each other better than just the occasional wave from across the street. Anna and J.J. Stewart watched their four kids, ages 3 to 15, playing with other little ones, and said it’s been great for them to have so many new friends moving in. “We just love the neighborhood,” said Anna Stewart, citing the parks, friends, church and the community as a whole as plusses. NNO’s return was strong, with nearly 40 parties registered. “It’s nice to see folks out and talking to each other,” Councilor Phil Cernanec said during the council meeting later that night. “It’s really the strength of the community.” “After two years of watching it kind of go down the dump, it’s back and it’s good,” agreed Councilor Bruce Beckman.

Accomplice in man’s stabbing found guilty DA praises gas-station clerk for quick thinking By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Nicholas Zapata was found guilty on Aug. 2 of attempted second-degree murder in the case of the Littleton Neighborhood Food and Gas stabbing last June. He is set for sentencing Oct. 8, and could receive 10 to 32 years in prison. Jose Murillo, who wielded the knife in

the incident, pleaded guilty on July 9 to conspiracy to commit second-degree murder and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Murillo sustained serious head injuries last June 10, when the gas-station attendant Zapata fought back. “They picked the wrong victim,” said District Attorney George Brauchler in a statement. “Despite being stabbed in the chest, the victim defended himself with a hammer by bashing the head of Murillo while his gutless accomplice — the mastermind of the attack,

Zapata — ran away. “Justice for the victim was served in part in his family’s business and in part in court, as the cowardly Zapata will face more than a decade in prison.” Surveillance video showed Murillo and Zapata bursting into the gas station at 1009 W. Littleton Blvd. at closing time. Littleton Police Detective Russell Hoffman testified that Murillo immediately went behind the counter, where clerk Eric Barzideh, the store owner’s son, was stooped over counting lottery tickets. Murillo began stabbing the clerk with

what Hoffman described as a paring knife. Barzideh reacted quickly, said Hoffman, grabbing a claw hammer off the counter and fighting back. Murillo hit the floor shouting “stop,” said Hoffman, and Zapata ran out the door. Barzideh immediately called 911. He and Murillo were both taken to local hospitals. The clerk underwent open-heart surgery and recovered quickly, according to his father, Bijan Barzideh. Zapata was arrested without incident three days later at the Littleton Light Rail Station.

s LPS looks forward to serving more kids School district doesn’t buy into fears about growth By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton Public Schools wants the community to know that the district loves kids, no matter where they live. “We welcome all families, and we love all of our kids,” said Diane Leiker, LPS director of communications. “We educate the kids who come to us.” Recent conversations about new residential development, and apartments in particular, have raised concerns that too many more people might strain the school district’s resources. “(This project) will cram even more people into this area, where, I’m told, the students and perhaps even some of the teachers already hate the children who live in the Pinnacle,” Betty Harris told Littleton Planning Board members last month before they endorsed the proposed Meadows at Platte Valley complex. Harris has been active with the local Democratic Party and Citizens for Rational Development, a grass-

roots group organized against certain highdensity projects proposed throughout the city. If approved, the Meadows project will be built on the southeast corner of Mineral Avenue and Platte Canyon Road, near Wilder Elementary School. Board member Andrew Graham’s kids go there, and he thinks apartments could contribute to transience in the community. He worried that people would temporarily move into a rental just to get into Wilder, making it permanently their home school, then move away. But Leiker notes that wouldn’t be necessary, because school choice is already an option in LPS. Neighborhood kids are always given priority as far as enrollment, but if there is space available, others are welcomed — and that means children who live in Littleton or outside its borders. “The in-district population is changing,” she said. “There are fewer students within our boundaries to serve.” If enough children lived in LPS borders to fill its schools, it would be unnecessary to make up the roughly 20 percent difference — about 3,000 kids — with ones from outside the district. But since there aren’t, Leiker says, LPS is fortunate to be a great

district that families want to be part of. “Wilder is a wonderful school with outstanding students and very supportive parents,” said Principal Susan Dalton. “It makes no difference to us where our families live. We serve them all to the best of our ability, and we feel privileged to have the opportunity to do so.” Indeed, LPS students outscore the state average by as much as 22 percentage points in state assessments, and it’s the only Denver-metro school district to be “Accredited with Distinction,” the highest academic accreditation rating given by the Colorado Department of Education. LPS high schools have the highest graduation rate and the lowest dropout rate of any high schools in the metro area, and 82 percent of all LPS students are achieving at or above grade level. Not only are all children welcomed, but the state money that comes with them is, as well. Each child equals more than $6,000 to a district — money that goes to pay teachers, buy books, prepare lunch and pretty much everything that goes along with educating children. “We welcome new students,” said Leiker. “It stabilizes enrollment, and we all know

funding is tied to enrollment. Growth is always welcome, and that can come to us in different ways.” In addition to state money, the LPS community consistently votes to impose a property tax on itself to support the schools. Leiker explains that the state covers that for kids who come from outside LPS. “That ensures that out-of-district students do not financially burden in-district taxpayers,” she said. Homeowners aren’t the only ones who pay property tax; multifamily and commericial landowners do too, even if they don’t add kids to the district. Developers with plans currently on the table have consistently said they’re not likely to attract too many people with kids. They’re targeting the ends of the spectrum — young professionals and empty-nesters. Most of the units planned are one- and twobedrooms, not the most practical for a family with kids. But even if that turns out not to be the case, Leiker said the district is ready. “Wilder could certainly accommodate more students in our attendance area,” agreed Dalton. “We would welcome that opportunity.”

School board still exploring bond issue Directors leaning toward placing issue on the ballot By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The Littleton Public Schools Board of Education appears poised to place an $80 million bond issue on the November ballot. “You guys have definitely proven to me the need,” board member Sue Chandler told members of the financial advisory committee during last week’s school board study session. The committee recommends moving forward rather than waiting until 2014. “The facts themselves and the condition of the buildings are not going to change,” said Jim Woods, the district’s outreach coordinator.

Supertintendent Scott Murphy has said the time is right to take advantage of low interest rates for what amounts to refinancing a mortgage — not a tax increase, he stresses. If voters pass the proposed measure, it will keep the amount of property tax they pay at about a total of 57 mills. If not, it will drop to about 55.5 mills - a difference of about $1 a month for each $100,000 of the actual value of the property. The last time LPS went to the voters was in 2010, when they passed a $12 million mill-levy override, or property-tax increase. That money has maintained the district’s current level of service, despite decreases in state and federal funding. Scott Myers, LPS chief financial officer, said that at about 8.5 mills, Littleton is on the high end compared to districts around the state, but they’re all in about the same range.

Bond revenue can legally only be used for capital improvements like building maintenance and infrastructure. The district estimates the actual need at about $102 million, but, as board member Renee Howell noted, asking for more than $80 million would have raised rather than maintained taxes. “It’s a pattern that has worked in the past,” she said. “It’s not like we’re trying to overburden someone.” The district formed a citizens committee to prioritize the needs, and members say the $80 million will fund absolute needs, not wishes. “We do have significant deficiencies that do require attention, and the Runyon roof, I think, is the poster child,” said Diane Doney LPS chief operating officer. Murphy stresses that a proposed statewide $1.1 billion tax increase for education

— planned to be on the ballot this fall — has absolutely nothing to do with this local question, and that it does nothing to address capital improvements. Board members have wondered whether that will confuse voters or lessen the chances that the LPS measure will pass. “I would like to think that people in our district see our district totally differently than they see the state,” said board president Bob Colwell. Vicki Mattox, managing director of Stifel Public Finance, said waiting until 2014 could cost the district $20 million if interest rates rise as projected, and construction costs could go up. “People have shown their ability to pick and choose and to vote their values,” said. “If you spent another year working on them, I’m not sure they’d learn a whole lot more.”

Father of two seeks seat on LPS board Consultant emphasizes technology, alternatives By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Plenty of stay-at-home moms have served on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education, but now a stay-athome dad is ready to step up. At least that’s what Centennial resident Dallas Jones was until the younger of his two daughters graduated from Arapahoe High School last spring. “I’ve been happy with the way I’ve lived my life and the choices I’ve made,” he said. “Being a stay-at-home dad 14 years ago was not so popular. But good, bad or indifferent, the choices I’ve made have been mine. That’s what I want for Littleton Public Schools kids — a chance to control their own lives.”

Jones’ background is in business and computer science. He has a master’s degree in management and works as a financial-systems consultant. “We’re moving into a world that is going to be more and more data driven,” he said. “One of the things I’m excited to do on the board is to push us in that direction.” Jones is excited about the possibilities of alterJones nate forms of delivering curriculum, and puts forth Khan Academy as an example. It’s a free online resource that lets anyone, anywhere take classes, and the Los Altos School District in California is piloting it. “That’s where I would like to go as well,” said Jones. “Littleton has always been on the forefront of innovation, so it makes

sense to go in that direction. … We’ve got to be open to new ideas, and it’s interesting, because I think schools are about the last institution to embrace technology.” Khan lets students study at their own pace but requires an absolute level of proficiency before allowing them to advance. In other words, there is only one passing grade instead of only one failing grade, as in traditional schools. “The concept is changing education, because now we punish people for making mistakes and we allow them to be mediocre and move on,” he said. Jones has been on the district’s financial advisory committee, among others. But he considers himself an outsider, especially now that his girls have graduated. While he thinks it’s great so many LPS grads go on to college, as his did, he notes that’s not everyone’s path. “Let’s make students aware of what’s possible after high school,” he said. “Lots

are college-driven, and that’s the majority, but it’s certainly not the only possibility. Whether it’s the military, business, trade school — I think we can do a better job of spelling that out and showing the way there,” he said. To that end, he would place a strong emphasis on customer service. “We do a pretty good job in customer service, but where we can improve is to push the idea of education ownership earlier,” he said. Like the other four candidates, Jones hopes the current board decides to place a bond issue on the November ballot to strengthen the physical and technological infrastructure that makes learning possible. “We love having kids, and we want to make the most out of every child’s future,” he said. “And more importantly, we want to teach them to make the most out of their own future.”

School district opens doors with focus on tech STEM fields are seen as building blocks for future By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com From stems grow beautiful blossoms, and Littleton Public Schools will continue to nurture theirs during the 2013-14 school year, which starts Aug. 19. In this case, the stems are STEM, the buzz acronym for science, technology, engineering and math. These, say educators, are the bases for the jobs of the future. “We’ve been focusing on it for a very

long time,” said Diane Leiker, LPS director of communications. “We think STEM is important enough that we focus it on every school.” The students seem excited about it, as well. So much so that the first free Engineering Exploration Workshop, open to all LPS high-schoolers, is full — even though it’s on a Saturday morning. Not to worry, there are eight more scheduled through November. Instructors for the workshop come from local offices of companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, the University of Colorado, Raytheon and United Launch Alliance. “We have a lot of parents and community members who have worked in engineering fields during the course of their career

We just have some natural ties.” Also new this year, though not until second semester, is an introduction to computer science class. It’s taught at Littleton High School but open to any LPS high-schooler. The district has never offered a programming class before, and administrators hope to launch it into an entire sequence leading to AP computer science. To keep the momentum going, the LPS Foundation recently earned a $500,000 matching grant to create and enhance even

more STEM projects. “We are very excited about this incredible opportunity to partner with LPS to help further advance the STEM focus in our schools,” said Mary McGlone, LPSF president, in a statement. “Our goal is to turn this gift into $1 million. We will be asking the community, ‘Where else can you get such a great return on your investment?’” Last year, district schools took home a bevy of awards from both the state and national technology competitions, and Littleton High School was the state champion for the 11th time. “Today’s students will create tomorrow’s careers and the technology that drives them,” reads the LPS Back to School Guide.

Orange behemoth joined by siblings Coleman enthusiasts united after last year’s WWW parade By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com

about four years ago, Kamphausen’s sister, Dana Dunbar, found the orange beast sitting in a field near Minturn, Colo., full of elk antlers and petunias. Before it retired, it worked hard for the state clearing narrow mountain roads. Dunbar called her brother right away, and he told her to get back there pronto. So she tracked down the owner of Battle Mountain Trading Company, where it had been resting for 30 years or so, and bought it that night. There was still air in the tires, and Kamphausen’s protégé, Josh Voss, had it running in a day and a half. By creating such a splash during Western Welcome Week 2012, it stirred fond memories in a bunch of other Coleman fanatics. Now, Cissell, Jim Hatfield, Ken Kafka and 20 or so others have formed an official Coleman Club that will field about eight vehicles in the parade Aug. 17. “Some guys play golf, some guys chase women, some guys rebuild trucks,” explains Cissell. Hatfiled says they’re a loose affiliation of Coleman truck owners and enthusiasts under the auspices of the American Truck Historical Society. He doesn’t own one himself, but he did make an amazing find - the last vehicle ever produced by Coleman. It was a prototype American Coleman Railway Truck Inspection Vehicle that looks like no other vehicle the company ever made. It was still sitting in a shipping crate in a

Vince Cissell, Buck Kamphausen and the name Coleman go way back to when, says Cissell, “Littleton was the country-bumpkin side of town.” Cissell agreed to buy Columbine Ambulance from Kamphausen, his childhood buddy, when Kamphausen got drafted, and he still owns it today. And now Cissell is tending to another matter Kamphausen got rolling - literally. Cissell ended up with Kamphausen’s behemoth orange Coleman snowplow in his storage building after last year’s Western Welcome Week parade, where it made its homecoming debut. The Coleman is a Littleton native, born at the Coleman Motor Company on Nevada Street downtown. The company was founded in 1916 by Harleigh Holmes, who some say invented front-wheel and four-wheel drive, although it’s a matter of great debate. As a kid, Kamphausen lived in Bow Mar near Fritz Noble, who had a large stake in the company.

Kamphausen’s dream for the snowplow was for it to live at Littleton Museum, joined by as many Colemans as can be found. But Cissell says museum officials wanted to

keep it outside, so for now it lives on his family farm near Broadway and Orchard Cissell says Coleman’s are a unique vehicle born in a unique town that used to make lots of stuff - think Heckethorn supply, Electron foundry, Red Comet fire extinguishers. “So when you think back, you think about the history of the country, the little towns had the manufacturing, and that’s where things went on,” he said.

opinions / yours and ours

Circumstances change, but character shouldn’t Stuff happens, right? I mean, when we least expect change, it happens. Sometimes we are caught off-guard by awesome and wonderfully unexpected good news. And when that does happen, we never really have to worry about how we respond or react because in most cases we are smiling and enjoying the moment. And then there are those other times, when we least expect it, that our world gets turned upside-down in a flash. Have you ever been there, cruising along based on plans, commitments and expectations, and then all of sudden … WHAM … right between the eyes we get hit with a curve ball? Stuff happens, and it happens to all of us at some time or another. The difference is how we actually respond to the immediate shift in our course. Our character can be found in how we respond when faced with challenges or changes, especially when they come upon us out of the blue. If you have ever been faced with a sudden change or shift,

or maybe even if you are experiencing it right now, I want to share a simple philosophy with you that may help. I call this the “Cadence of Change,” and the “cadence” acronym stands for: Communication goes both ways, and in times of change we need to make sure we have expressed ourselves clearly and that we understand what is being shared; miscommunication often makes change worse. Authority means we have to stay in control; we are in charge of how we respond or

differently and see things through objective and productive eyes, instead of being anchored to the past. Character means that whatever happens, we handle ourselves in a respectful way, never yielding or compromising who we are to the circumstances that surround us as the craziness of change happens. Excellence — In times of change and growth, the watchword should be excellence. If we strive for perfection we will often miss the mark, but when we pursue excellence we will impact change, truly impact change for the better. How is your cadence when it comes to change? The world is constantly changing, and I would love to hear all about how you handle it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when your “Cadence of Change” improves, it will really be a better than good week.

question of the week

What would improve your neighborhood?

On a weekend day at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in the leadup to this year’s fair, Colorado Community Media asked visitors: What’s the one thing that could really improve the neighborhood you live in?

“I wish they could up the number of chickens you could have.” — Jodie Nicholls, Littleton

“I wish people would keep their dogs on their property.” — Lisa Mycke, Sedalia

“I can’t think of anything.” — Jameson Benson, Castle Pines North

“Relaxation on the number of chickens you can have.” — Heber Lemmon, Roxborough

Hardball topics are mostly out of my league I have written some hardball columns, but invariably I throw them away. I have written about guns, politicians, Al Sharpton, abortion, same-sex marriages, and even about rodeos, but I am never satisfied afterward. Maybe it’s because I know there is nothing I can say that will make any difference. I might affect a handful of readers, but everyone else has made up their mind, or isn’t listening. When I heard that part of the state wanted to leave the state, I realized that I don’t really know Colorado. I know I live in a very sophisticated county. I now know that there are many very unsophisticated counties, and that the locals are perfectly happy with that, living partly in the 19th century. And they’re not perfectly happy with the rest of us. I don’t think they have our disparity in New Hampshire. The governor can give one-size-fits-all speeches. Hickenlooper has to be mindful of what goes on in Denver and Boulder, and Rico and Brush too. There’s another reason why I have thrown away hardball columns. Like I said, I am never satisfied afterward, and there’s more to it than that. I don’t feel good. I think I am intelligent and objective, but when I see what others believe and do, I grind my teeth and feel it’s best to keep some things to myself, and leave those topics to commentators who can sleep at night after what they have expressed during the day. I acknowledge that most of the time I am a softball writer. And half of the time,

react. If we allow other people or circumstances to dictate how the changes surrounding us impact our demeanor, we will never be in a position to maintain control. Decisions or lack of decisions often leave us paralyzed, and instead of taking action, we leave the decisions to others and again find ourselves being directed or driven by the motives of someone else. In times of change, it is critical to be in control of our own decisions. Expectations properly set are expectations that have a better chance of being realized. Many times our emotions and subsequent actions or reactions stem from misleading ourselves from the beginning. Stretching ourselves through dreams and goals are awesome, and realistic expectations are the foundation that ground us during times of change. New Paradigm — The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. All of us should be open and willing to think

On July 1 of this year, Congress’ partisan gridlock and inability to come together for the sake of the American people was on full display when it allowed the rates for subsidized Stafford loans for college students to double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent without any legislative remedy. This comes at a time when tuition rates are rising uncontrollably. In fact, over the last 10 years tuition rates have far outpaced inflation. During that time the economy has experienced an average inflation rate of 2.5 percent while the average annual tuition increase at a four-year public university has been double that at 5.2 percent. College seniors today are graduating with an average student loan of $27,000. On May 23, I supported H.R. 1911, the Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act of 2013, when it was passed in the House. H.R. 1911 added stability to educational loans in a fiscally responsible way by fixing the rate to the 10-year Treasury note. However, once the bill passed the House and was sent over to the Senate, certain senators on the other side of the aisle made unreasonable demands that not only went contrary to the president’s stated objectives, but were fiscally irresponsible. After months of partisan wrangling within the Senate, last week the House of Representatives passed, with my support, the Senate amendment to H.R. 1911. I am pleased the Senate agreed with our approach that will give students the clarity and security they need while balancing

The Independent I am up to no great good, writing about wordplay and coffee babies. If you drink Frappuccinos you are a coffee baby. There is one topic that I write about frequently that isn’t softball, and whenever I do, that’s when I receive the most responses. If I were to write that I was for or against guns, I would hear from both sides. You love them or you hate them. But no one — with very disturbing exceptions — doesn’t like animals, and especially our pets. I don’t know the first thing about moose, but I admire them. I always want to know the outcome of a bear that has wandered into town. I wrote about the Running of the Bulls, and my mailbox was full. That was a tough one to write, because it’s almost impossible to write anything worth reading when you are so angry you begin to preach, and I am against preaching, even by preachers.

the duty of Congress to be good stewards of taxpayer money. The final legislation, supported by the majority of the House and Senate, moves all new student loans (except Perkins loans) to a market-based interest rate while allowing interest rates to be reset once a year. Interest rates would be set using the following formulas: Undergraduate Stafford Loans (both subsidized and unsubsidized) will be based on the 10-year Treasury note (which on August 1 was 2.74 percent) plus 2.05 percent, capped at 8.25 percent. Graduate unsubsidized Stafford loans will be based on the 10-year Treasury note plus 3.6 percent, capped at 9.5 percent, and PLUS loans (both parent and graduate student) will be based on 10-year Treasury note plus 4.6 percent, capped at 10.5 percent.

Lone Tree preps for Cabela’s Coffman grand opening weekend Continued from Page 8

Overflow parking, shuttles, celebrities part of multi-day event for outdoors retailer By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Lone Tree residents who cheered news of Cabela’s decision to locate there may feel less enthusiastic this weekend. Anticipated grand-opening weekend traffic promises to congest the RidgeGate Parkway and Interstate 25 interchange from Aug. 14-18, before tapering off to a calmer level. The grand opening is at 11 a.m. Aug. 15. Cabela’s cardholders are invited into the store a day early, on Aug. 14. Cabela’s, city police and several other local agencies are working together to minimize traffic impacts, supplying shuttle service to and from an overflow parking lot. Though the Cabela’s lot includes 538 parking spaces, company officials believe it will be full by 9 a.m. Aug. 15, its grand opening day. Based on previous Cabela’s grand openings, they anticipate the same situation on both weekend days. An overflow parking lot will be ready for those customers at Havana Street and RidgeGate Parkway, east of I-25. Three shut-

“Other people get to retire, why can’t we?” wondered daughter Chris Slinkard, who has grown children of her own. “The grandkids grew up here. It’s been our life. If I didn’t have Mom and Dad, there’s no way I could do it. I need the support they give.” Still, it’s been a difficult decision for them, one made with tears and some trepidation, they admit. “That’s the thing that will really hurt me, is if they take that mural down,” said Mr. Trujillo. Painted in 1976 by then-struggling artist Jose Zamora, Mr. Trujillo says it’s a composite of small-town Main Streets from days gone by. “It’s really an attention-getter,” he said. “Wherever you sit, the road is leading to you.” Their plan is to sell the building, but not the business. They hope it will remain a restaurant, a place they can enjoy visiting for a margarita themselves and perhaps continue their Wednesday-night family gatherings. “The building is going to have to live on its own two feet like I did,” said Mr. Trujillo. “The economy, it’s hit everybody. We just want to get out of here while we’re ahead of the game.” “I hope they make a go of it,” agreed

tles will transport people from the lot to the store. Between 4,000 and 5,000 cars — or 10,000 to 12,000 people — are expected daily on Aug. 15, 17 and 18. Dense retail traffic is something with which Lone Tree cops have ample experience. “We consider it like a Black Friday or an IKEA opening, but on the right side of the city,” said Lone Tree’s business development coordinator Torie Brazitis. The traditional oversized pair of scissors won’t be required for Cabela’s grand opening. Instead, an archer will shoot an arrow through the ribbon. The Thornton store will open simultaneously. Speakers at the Lone Tree grand opening include location Cabela’s Chief Operations Officer Michael Copeland, Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning and the store’s general manager, Karen Koons. Cabela’s founders Mary and Dick Cabela will sign autographs in the afternoon. Celebrities from the “Swamp People” and “Bone Collector” television series and country music star Justin Moore also will appear at the Lone Tree store opening. Gift cards and merchandise will be awarded to the first customers through the doors Aug. 15, 16, 17 and 18. Lone Tree police advise local drivers to use alternate routes during the grand opening weekend.

cent of them now commute from outside Littleton’s borders. Of course, not everybody is thrilled. Littleton resident and former city council member Tom Kristopeit wants more specifics, which city staff says will be worked out later. “I think you should wait for a project that you are really proud of and that you know what you’re getting, because if you approve this, I think you’re getting a pig in a poke,” he told council. Mayor Debbie Brinkman urged Watt representatives to take extra care with the site. Close to the highest elevation in town with sweeping views of the mountains, it’s the last prime piece of developable land save the acreage south of Aspen Grove on Santa Fe Drive. “If it looks like everybody else that’s out there, then it’s not going to be special,” she said. “And we really need it to be special, because it’s our last shot.”

Slinkard. Asked to name his proudest business accomplishment, Mr. Trujillo, who twice served on city council, said it’s that he’s remained consistent and true to his family recipes. “It means a lot to people,” said Mrs. Trujillo, slipping her hand over his. “But I think you should be so proud of going into the business not knowing anything, and you had your own place by the time you were in your 30s.” Mr. Trujillo gives credit to Evelyn Hudson for that. While a student at Littleton High School, he worked for her at Country Kitchen, the large log building that is now the Inn at Hudson Gardens. They did everything in house, he said, which is pretty much how Jose operates — grinding meat and preparing everything fresh every day. After some military duty and a stint at Martin Marietta, he and Phyllis, his highschool sweetheart, decided to start their own restaurant. “Once Evelyn gave me her blessing, I said, `Well, that’s good,’ ” remembers Mr. Trujillo. “She was a great mentor.” Mrs. Trujillo gives a lot of credit to her huband’s large family for a lot of help, and the whole family thanks its customers for years of loyal support. “We’ve met so many people, and we’ll miss them so much,” said Mrs. Trujillo. “I’m proud that we’ve been part of the community.”

the federal student loan structure. As I alluded to earlier, this plan is similar to one supported by the president in his budget proposal. He agrees with the House that it is imperative Congress remove itself from the annual debate on interest rates so students can focus on getting an education rather than worrying about politicians in Washington, D.C. I hope President Obama acts quickly and approves the proposal that aids our students struggling in this economy. Congress has been plagued with gridlock, so I am very pleased that Republicans and Democrats were able to come together to do something good for students while at the same time securing our future eco-

One reader was somehow in the right place when a middle-aged dog was left on a golf course in the middle of the night in another state. She was shy and emaciated and weak. And now she runs around the yard like a dervish and sleeps with her new mother. Listen, I am a grouch and that won’t change. But when it comes to the heartbeats at our feet, I am on high alert for their respect and love — or for disrespect. When I adopted Smitty, his face was a

nomic growth. However, we need to do more. When we subsidize student loan interest rates, we are investing in our future by sending highly trained and productive citizens out into the workforce and entrusting them with the levers of our economy. If we want to ensure a vibrant economic future, I hope that Republicans and Democrats can come together with the same spirit of bipartisanship that successfully addressed the loan rates and finally tackle the other national problems like debt, deficits, as well as entitlement and tax reform in the same cooperative manner.

OBITUARIES Whitney

Lynn B. Whitney

January 8, 1934 - August 5, 2013

Lynn Byers Whitney died from ALS at Porter Hospice in Littleton on August 5th. Lynn Whitney was born January 8, 1934 to Ruhl and Helen Whitney in Lima Ohio. To his loved ones he was often known as Big Whit or simply ‘Whit.’ Lynn and his siblings Norm, Joyce and Dave helped run Whitney’s Pharmacy and its soda fountain that dispensed legendary milkshakes. Lynn graduated from Lima Central High in 1951 and then attended Nyack College in New York. He enlisted in the United States Army in 1957 and was assigned to Fort Carson near Colorado Springs where he fell in love with the mountains and great beauty of Colorado. After his Army service, he attended Ohio Northern University to earn a teaching degree and subsequently taught school for four years in Ohio. During those years he began his lifelong passion for bicycling by riding in the countryside near Lima with the Lima Roadrunners cycling club. He started taking extended bike trips with a trip to the Canadian Rockies in 1962. He then led a bike trip to Europe for high school students in the summer of 1963. In 1963 he moved to Littleton, Colorado and began a teaching career for Littleton Public Schools at Peabody Elementary. In 1964 he led another bike trip to Europe for America Youth Hostels. After the trip he married long time sweetheart Mary Williams in Lausanne, Switzerland on July 25, 1964 and enjoyed a month long honeymoon in Europe. In Colorado, Lynn continued his

cycling and began to spend much of his time in the mountains hiking and climbing peaks. He also became an avid skier spending winter weekends engaged in both downhill and Nordic skiing. He welcomed his children Rachelle Whitney in 1967 and John Whitney in 1970. The family spent summers travelling across the United States to learn more about America and its history. In 1992 Littleton Public Schools honored him with its Distinguished Elementary/Middle School Teacher Award.

Former city official worried about Ketring Lake Borger says there are actions that Littleton could take By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Former City Manager Larry Borger thinks the city’s claims that nothing can be done about the dwindling Ketring Lake are all wet. “I think the city’s getting a bad rap about this, and I’d like to see if we can get something going,” he told Littleton City Council on Aug. 6. “The clear implication is that the lake is going dry, and there’s nothing to be done. There is something to be done, and the city is indeed working on it.” He says the best short-term solution is to divert water from Englewood’s McClellan Reservoir in Douglas County. Englewood is legally obligated to let Littleton have 35 acre-feet of water a year to replace evaporated water in Cooley Lake, which is south

of South Platte Park. But Littleton only uses about 19 acre-feet a year, so Borger feels the city has a right to do whatever it wants with the other 16. Borger says the water could be carried via the High Line Canal to Broadway and Caley Avenue, then gravity would take it the rest of the way to the park. A longer-term solution would be to drill a well, he said, which was addressed in July by Dan Brown, attorney with water-law specialists Fischer, Brown, Bartlett and Gunn. He said the city can use whatever groundwater is under public land and not connected to a tributary with rights assigned to it, but getting to it is an expensive challenge. There are currently no wells accessing the basins, as far as Brown can tell. “It becomes not a legal question, it’s a physical question,” he told council. “They’re expensive, so you don’t want to put them down there and then find out there’s no water there.” After Denver Water took over Littleton’s

service in 1970, it agreed to keep Ketring Lake full, to the extent possible, with water channeled from the High Line Canal. But after several years of drought conditions, Denver Water decided to let the canal stay empty in 2013 and the lake is drying up. Littleton City Manager Michael Penny told the Aberdeen Village HOA that people have asked about using City Ditch water to fill Ketring, which was installed as an irrigation lake, but the ditch is well below Ketring in elevation and at least a half-mile away. “We would have to acquire more water rights — not a quick process,” he wrote in his email to the neighbors. “We really don’t have any other ideas for getting water to fill Ketring Lake. It would be difficult to justify using water for this purpose when we need to use water for more important reasons, especially in drought years.” Deputy City Manager noted that council will hear more about the city’s water situation from Wright Water Engineers during a study session Aug. 22.

The ducks are running out of room to swim in Ketring Lake as the water continues to recede. Denver Water cut off the High Line Canal, which feeds the lake, this year because of the drought. Photo by Jennifer Smith

THINGS TO DO

WEATHER MONITORS. The

Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network based at the Colorado Climate Center at Colorado State University is looking to add a few hundred observers to its Denver area network during August. All it takes to be involved is the purchase of an official rain gauge ($30) and a commitment to help monitor the local climate by taking precipitation measurements as often as possible. The data is reported to the CoCoRaHS website and daily maps of local precipitation patterns are produced. Training is offered in person or online; a list of Denver area training classes can be found at http:// www.cocorahs.org/State.aspx?state=CO.

Sparkling chrome and shiny paint on cars, trucks, tractors and even road building equipment filled the lots Aug. 11 as there were about 100 entries in this year’s Littleton Elks Rod and Custom Show. Entries filled the lodge parking lot and lined the block of the street to the east of the lodge. In addition, there were Littleton Police officers directing traffic so people could cross the street to the vehicle-filled lot to

the south. Entries spanned the year. For example, there was a 1914 Model T truck with the gear shift and brake levers on the steering wheel parked near a customized entry that looked nothing like the 1956 Volkswagen Beetle that was the starting point of the project. Centennial resident Jim Beckley had three customized entries, a 1930 Model A, a 1937 Model A coupe and a 1937 Ford van. The respective custom license plates read Confuzed, Dayzed and Klueles. This is the fifth year the Elks have put on the car show as part of Western Welcome Week. WWW activities continue through the week that includes the Aug. 17 grand parade and the wrap-up events Aug. 18.

ACC hosts WWW events College campus is site for events ranging from breakfast to races By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The fall semester hasn’t started but there were a lot of cars in the Arapahoe Community College parking lot Aug. 11 as the school hosted a variety of Western Welcome Week activities. Things got started early and there were long lines at the annual pancake breakfast. The kitchen even moved outside this year. A short distance away, there were a collection of old-time games from bean bag toss to stilt walking. More than 100 parents, their children and the child’s mount signed up for the annual Bruce Wolf Stick Horse Stampede. Penny Smith said she has been coming to Western Welcome Week since she was a little girl and now she brings her two boys to the activities every year because the boys have so much fun. Western Welcome Week activities are scheduled throughout the week with the finale on Aug. 17 with a host of events including the grand parade.

Nicole Romero helps her son Lincoln aim the water gun at the ping pong ball as they take part in the Aug. 11 Western Welcome Week Kids “Games of Old.” Nicole said the boy was having a great time at the event.

Home at last

Young Voices of Colorado getting permanent location By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com After 23 years, and 10 different homes, Young Voices of Colorado will soon move into a permanent space of its own. Founder and artistic director Jena Dickey of Littleton spoke about her long search. The youth choir organization has been renting space from churches, but the group has grown to a point where it is too big and wants to use the rented space for too many hours for a church arrangement to be satisfactory, she says. At first, she thought they could rent a larger commercial space, but the code requirements involved to accommodate 200 children — classified as an educational use — plus the need for high ceilings, made that plan impractical. “Even Pavarotti couldn’t sing with a low acoustic tile ceiling.” And adequate restrooms were also an issue. It meant gutting a space and shaping it to specific needs. After much searching, they found a 4,400-square-foot space in an office park development at 99 Inverness Drive East, #150. It’s still in Arapahoe County and locat-

ed near Interstate 25 for south metro area students as well as those who come from a distance. (Green Mountain, Westminster, Strasburg, Larkspur …) Closing was May 6 and construction is underway on what was once a welding school. Dickey very much hopes to be in by Labor Day. The group made a substantial down payment and arranged a loan for the balance. Dickey says she had hoped to do the necessary work for about $350,000, but with bathroom, ADA and fire issues, it will be closer to $500,000 when completed. (Supporters can buy a square foot of space for $100 — “and we may sell piano keys too,” Dickey said.) There will be a 50-foot-by-30-foot choral room plus a smaller 700-square-foot choral space. Three offices, reception space, copy room, storage, two bathrooms and a break room are included, designed by architect Earl Anderson. Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman, who is an interior designer by trade, has been advising on decorating and as we write, Dickey carries a car trunk filled with the chosen color swatches, carpet, tile, flooring samples, cabinet doors and more. The large choir room will have a wall painted in YVA’s signature purple, the smaller one will have a red wall, and offices will have green, while the carpet reflects all three, plus neutral tones. In the meantime, auditions for younger children were finalized recently and Dick-

ey is excited to contemplate a return to her first love: music education. “We hope to develop world citizens,” she says, proud of the accomplishments of her graduates, who have learned focus and discipline through music. The choirs are called Treble Makers (second- to fourth-graders); Cantus; Signature; VoiceMale (boys with changed or changing voices); and Concert Choir. They give two concerts each year at the University of Denver’s Newman Center and collaborate with other musical organizations in additional performances, such as Littleton Symphony and Littleton Chorale. In the summer, YVC hosts other children’s choruses from across the country in the “Sing a Mile High Festival,” where kids work with a team of musical educators and present a concert where they sing separately and jointly. The staff members for the 501(c)(3) organization include Dickey, Chrys Harris, Margie Camp, Paul Smith, accompanists Jane MacQueen and Gretchen Timmer, Anna Larsen and Teddi Harring. Kathryn Ake is president of the board of directors. Dickey likes to share a quote from great conductor/composer Leonard Bernstein: “It will be the artists, the feelers and thinkers who will ultimately save us — those who can articulate, educate, defy, insist and shout the biggest of dreams.” Information about Young Voices of Colorado is found at: youngvoices.org, 303797-7464.

`Steel Magnolias’ on stage at hotel By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Steel Magnolias” a tale of strong Southern women in the fictional town of Chiquapin, La., in the 1980s, was originally written as a short story by Robert Harling, who was grieving the death of a sister. The play came next. (OffBroadway in 1987, movie in 1989, Broadway in 2005, with Dolly Parton in the Truvy role). Cast with strong characters, it has established a place as a fa-

vorite for local theater groups, has played around the world and is the 2013 selection for the annual summer fundraiser for Senior Housing Options, a nonprofit that provides housing for about 500 adults in Colorado. It is presented through Aug. 24 in the lobby at the historic Barth Hotel in LoDo, one of 14 SHO residences, with a group of allstar actors. Truvy’s beauty shop is the location for most of the action — a spot where women of many types gather for hair care, gossip and wisecracking

If you go “Steel Magnolias” by Robert Harling plays through Sept. 24 at the historic Barth Hotel, 1514 17th St., Denver. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays. Tickets cost $25; $35 for preferred seating. (We suggest reservations since these performances tend to sell out.) Tickets: 303-595-4464 ext. 10; seniorhousingoptions.org.

free advice from the proprietor. Owner Truvy will be played by Rhonda Brown, who recently starred solo as Molly Ivins in

“Red Hot Patriot: the Kick Ass Wit of Molly Ivins.” Former Broadway actor Billie McBride will return to this stage as Ouiser, the town curmudgeon, and Devon James will play Truvy’s assistant, Annelle. Patty Figel will portray eccentric millionaire Miss Clairee and Rachel Fowler will be M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby, has just married as the play opens. Adrian Egolf plays Shelby, a diabetic who decides to risk a pregnancy.

One Trader Joe’s coming to Colorado was fantastic news for this California girl. Two put me over the moon, especially since it was announced No. 2 would be located on Eighth and Colorado near my Capitol Hill abode. Now, the California-based specialty grocery store I grew up on is adding a third store in Greenwood Village. The Denver Post reported Trader Joe’s has signed a lease at the Cherry Hills Marketplace at 5901 S. University Blvd., at the intersection with East Orchard Road. The first two stores — in Denver and on Boulder’s Twenty Ninth Street mall — are scheduled to open in 2014, as will the Greenwood Village store.

Off the air

Bertha Lynn has been one of my favorite on-air personalities since I arrived in Denver in 1993. She is the sweetest, most generous human being. Now that she’s leaving Denver’s 7, viewers from Golden to Highlands Ranch and Westminster to Littleton are losing a truly wonderful asset on the air. But good for her! She’s been able to reinvent herself in a new occupation. After reporting the news for more than 30 years for KMGH-Channel 7, Lynn is leaving the newsroom to become executive director of the Children’s Diabetes Foundation in Denver. “I’m writing a new chapter,” Lynn said via email. “I’m so grateful to my past and present colleagues. I’ve loved bringing home the news to the people of Colorado since 1976 and now I’m ready to apply, in a different arena, the skills I’ve learned as a communicator and in the boardrooms of the many nonprofit organizations I’ve served over the years. I’ll be working with a wonderful group of people at a respected organization. I’m thrilled!” In a 7News press release, Lynn said, “To be tapped by Barbara Davis and the Board of the Children’s Diabetes Foundation to carry on their work helping sick children is a dream come true — allowing me to meet new challenges while continuing to serve in Colorado. The people of Denver and Colorado have been very kind and generous to me as they watched me grow up. Colorado remains my home and I look forward to engaging with the community for even greater support in our battle against life-threatening diabetes.” 7News news director Jeff Harris said Lynn’s “career at 7News is an inspiration to so many. But, more than anything else, Bertha has worked tirelessly to improve our community. For this, we are grateful and not a bit surprised in her decision to lead this wonderful organization.” Lynn, one of Denver’s most recognized and honored broadcast journalists, has been reporting news to Coloradans since 1976 when she began with KBTV (now KUSA-Channel 9) as an anchor and reporter. In 1984, she moved to 7News where she has anchored and reported for nearly every station newscast. Lynn signed off Aug. 9 in her final 7News telecast.

Tragedy, romance — and Colorado scenery ACC festival offers Englewood author enjoys scouting Rocky Mountains By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The recently published “Journey to Sand Castle” by Leslee Breene of Englewood actually describes several journeys — that interweave three broken lives. First-grade teacher Tess Cameron, recovering from a difficult divorce, was teaching in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina struck. As the book opens, she is helping out in her school, which has become a shelter. Breene, a member of Colorado Romance Writers, and active in the Women Writing the West (WWW) organization, is a Denver native. She also writes short fiction, winning a WWW second place in 2012 for her story, “Pueblo Dancer.” She says she hopes to publish a collection of short stories in the future. She attended the University of Denver, received a Denver Fashion Group Scholarship and graduated from the Fashion Institute of Tech-

Leslee Breene’s “Journey to Sand Castle.” Courtesy photo nology in New York. For several years, she worked in San Francisco as a newspaper fashion illustrator. Her new book follows “Leadville Lady” (2006); “Hearts on the Wind” (2008); and “Starlight Rescue” (2011). When she’s not writing, she enjoys scouting in the Rockies for book set-

tings with her husband, and delving into area history. She enjoys meeting with book club groups to talk about her writing. Her story continues as Tess Cameron, who had determined to be carefree, commits instead to caring for a beautiful little biracial orphan named Crystal, daughter of a fellow teacher who perished. She hopes to reunite the child with a grandfather in the San Luis Valley, in Sand Castle, who had been estranged from the child’s mother. He initially shows racial prejudice and wants nothing to do with her and his slow change is another journey. Breene develops an interesting character in the grandfather and includes nice details about that beautiful, historic part of Colorado — complete with the sounds of a flight of sandhill cranes one evening. Tess takes a cooking and office job with a widowed outfitter, Grant Wilder, to support herself and Crystal — and the reader can predict where that will lead. But his and Tess’ emotional journeys are thoughtfully recorded en route, including details of day-to-day ranch life, local people, scenic landscapes, horses and a violent snowstorm. Information about the author is at: lesleebreene.com.

A solution is at hand on Aug. 25 at Arapahoe Community College with the return of the Affordable Arts Festival, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the West Lawn. More than 120 local and national artists will exhibit fine arts and crafts, with nothing costing more than $100.

Teams run on battery power Pitcher-catcher combos make difference for prep teams By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Most good high school softball teams are built around solid batteries. In other words, the combined effectiveness of a pitcher and catcher. You can’t have one without the other. “If your pitching and catching is solid, you have any kind of decent coaching, you should win more games than you lose, and with a little luck you should win much more than you lose,” said Ponderosa coach Toby Tabola. “It starts there,” he continued. “You can’t forget the catcher. You can’t have

these great pitchers without a really good person to receive the ball. There have been times where I have not been able to allow a pitcher to throw a particular pitch because it’s too hard for the catcher to handle.” Tabola’s daughter, Caley Mitchell, is head coach at Castle View. “I absolutely believe in the importance of a great pitcher and catcher,” said Mitchell. “If you have a solid hitting team and good defense you may be still able to win games, but you won’t go further than that. The defense can only do so much if you don’t have a pitcher to keep girls off base. “Catchers are just as important. Your pitcher can be great, but if you don’t have a catcher that can handle her, you are going to have problems. The catcher commands the field, she needs to be heads-up

Castle View catcher Morgan Trujillo snags a pitch on one bounce. She will be teaming with Savannah Heebner as the battery for the Sabercats this season.

on every play, as well as be a coach for the pitcher.” Castle View and Ponderosa have two of the league’s top pitchers in the Sabercats’ junior Savannah Heebner and the Mustangs’ Ally Power, also a junior. Heebner won 13 games with 145 strikeouts and a 1.49 earned run average. Power won 14 games last season with 208 strikeouts and a 1.69 ERA. Junior Sarah Carpenter will be Power’s battery-mate after taking over the starting catching duties late last season. Senior Morgan Trujillo will be behind the plate catching Heebner. Catchers are the team leaders, setting the tone for the team and often calling timeouts to visit with pitchers to avoid a visit to the mound by a coach. “I would say the catcher is the leader on the field,” said Power. “Yeah, you listen to her. It’s very important to have confidence in your catcher. “Talks between my catcher and I are really team decisions. We discuss it and normally agree with the changes. Sarah did her job well last season.” Trujillo admits it is sometime hard for a catcher to be a leader. “In the beginning it was a challenge,” said Trujillo. “Then I realized I was involved in every single play, I’ve really got to step up my leadership role. From that point on, I love doing it. “Sometimes girls on your team just hate being told what to do. In reality you are just trying to say `let’s get back on track and we need to come together as a team.’ “Savannah has always been a stud,” continued Trujillo. “She’s getting looked at a lot by big schools. I look at myself and say she couldn’t be where she is today if she didn’t have a catcher. I’m just not talking about me but every other catcher that’s she’s experienced along the way. Without that catcher, she would be pitching to the backstop.” Castle View and Ponderosa are expected to be two of the Continental League’s strongest teams this season. Defending league champion Rock Canyon returns seven starters and the Jaguars are the team to beat. Mountain Vista, Legend and Douglas County should have a say in which team wins the league title.

Athletes fuel up for long haul Cross country runners urged to stay hydrated, eat By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Cherry Creek’s Jordyn Colter appeared to ready to capture her second consecutive Class 5A individual state cross country championship last October when she collapsed and didn’t finish the race. It was learned that Colter had low sodium and potassium and her white blood cell count was high, but seeing one of the state’s top runners break down scared many cross country runners to pay more attention to nutrition and hydration. Two months after her scare at the state cross country meet, Colter ran fourth in the national Foot Locker Cross Country Championships in San Diego. She won the 800- and 1,600-meter runs at the Class 5A state track meet last May and was third in the 3,200-meter run. “She looks strong and healthy,” Creek girls cross country coach Holly Lane said of Colter, who is a junior this season. Lane and boys coach Ethan Dusto view what their runners eat and drink. “Some of them sort of have a misconception,” said Lane. “They don’t realize how many calories they’re burning off during training and they don’t realize how many calories they should be taking in. “During track season a few years ago, Ethan made them keep journals just so they could keep track of what they were eating so we could make sure they were eating enough. We had a nutritionist come speak to them during our summer running camp to emphasize how important proper nutrition is because you need that fuel for your body to go.” Sometimes, even with journals, it’s tough to monitor the food and water intake of runners. “We try to make sure they drink water during the day

and are eating properly but when they are at school, depending what their schedule is like, they don’t always eat properly and then come out to practice and try to run hard, but they just run out of gas or they end up cramping up because of dehydration. We try to emphasize they should always have a water bottle with them.” Mountain Vista has a dominant cross country program in the Continental League. The Golden Eagles boys won the state championship last year and the girls were fourth. “We play up nutrition and hydration probably a couple times a week,” said coach Jonathan Dalby. “We try to educate as much as we can about that kind of stuff. We try to get them to carry a water bottle around with them all day long or always have that with them. “We talk about eating fruits and vegetables. We want them to eat carbohydrates but what they always don’t think about is eating fats and protein. We try to educate them on eating the right kind of fats and protein. Those three things kind of fuel you up as an athlete and help better performances day in and day out.” Mountain Vista senior Connor Weaver, who was the first Golden Eagles runner to cross the finish line, in 12th place at the 2012 state meet, tries to eat healthy and watches his iron levels. “Every day I take a vitamin supplement and an iron supplement,” he said. “My sophomore year I found out I was anemic and that when I run, I sweat a lot. I lose iron more quickly than a lot of other people. Without iron, oxygen can’t be transported throughout the body as quickly. So that is a big thing for me, making sure my iron levels are good. “I know everybody on our team drinks two full 32-ounce bottles of water a day. I know Andrew Walton and I do protein shakes typically an hour after a hard workout. That seems to help the muscles recover.” Highlands Ranch also has their girls and boys runners keep journals on what they eat, and Clifford and head boys coach Nicky DeBolt harp on their athletes to keep hydrated. “I play a lot of attention to my diet,” said Highlands Ranch senior Nick Meis. “My goal is to keep consump-

Teams on course for change Difference in golf regions kept out good players in past By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Players, coaches, parents and spectators have been complaining, grumbling, muttering and whining for years about the regional golf qualifying format. In the past, many of the state’s top teams and individuals were lumped in the same regions that were determined at the start of the season. That resulted in several good golfers not being able to qualify for the state tournament, while others with higher scores did make it into the state tourney because of playing in a region with fewer talented golfers. However, a significant change has been made to the Class 5A and 4A regional qualifying setup that will also apply to the girls spring season. Now, with the new CHSAA waterfall regional seeding system, league finishes will be submitted to the CHSAA on Sept. 9, and schools will be placed in one of four regions based on how they finished in their leagues. The idea behind the modification is that a couple conferences usually produce better golfers and often have to compete in a region for a certain number of spots in the state tournament, where another region might have schools that that don’t have as many good golfers. Last season, for example, after the predetermined number of teams qualifying in each region was set, the qualifying cutoff score in the Metro-East regional played at Common Ground Golf Club was 76. There were 38 golfers in the state tournament who played in last year’s state tournament with qualifying scores higher than 76, and there were six golfers in the Metro-East that fired a 76 and had a playoff, with only one advancing into the two-day state tournament. With this season’s seeding for the four regional tournaments, the No. 1, No. 5 and No. 9 teams in the Continental League will play in the Central Region along with the top Jefferson County League team. The Colorado Springs Metro and Front Range League champions will be in the Northern Region with the Continental’s No. 2, 6 and 10 schools. The Denver Prep and Southwestern League champions will be seeded in the Western Region with the Continental League’s third-, seventh- and 11thplace teams. The Continental League No. 4, No. 8 and No. 12 teams will tee it up in the Southern Region with the No. 1 teams from the Centennial and East Metro Leagues. Each Class 5A region will have two automatic teams qualify and roughly 15 individuals not on the top two teams. “The new format can make a huge difference,” said Douglas County coach Jeff Riley. “Historically the southern and eastern metro regions were very strong and the northern much stronger than metro west. In 2006, Douglas County won the league by 50 shots but finished fourth at regionals behind Air Academy, that had a career day, and Chaparral and ThunderRidge. “ThunderRidge and Chaparral finished 1-2 in the state tournament after Douglas County finished ahead of them throughout the regular season. Golf in the state of Colorado is basically a one-day season, the regionals. If you have a great season and

Change in Class 5A regional qualifying format was a year too late for Littleton’s Joe Schroer. He carded a 76 in last year’s regional but didn’t qualify for the state tournament. Thirty-eight players in other regions had scores higher than 76 but made the state tournament field. Photo by Jim Benton have a bad day at regionals, you are out. The realignment hopefully will cut down the numbers of one-day wonders qualifying for the state tournament.” Mountain Vista coach Tim Taylor is another coach who lauds the CSHAA for taking a step in the right direction. “This is a step towards a better idea,” he said. “We always thought league should really mean something. Standings in the league were irrelevant. Now all of a sudden they mean something. The way you play in league will give you a chance to play well in the regional and get into the state tournament. “A lot of coaches for years have been saying that if you had a league like our league that was pretty deep and had kids go to a regional tournament that was a one-day shootout, which we never thought was right, you could have kids that shot 76, 77, 78 and not make it into the state tournament.” Littleton’s Joe Schroer was one of those golfers. He carded a 76 at the Metro-East regional and wasn’t the one golfer to survive a six-player playoff. He was eliminated from the state tournament. “It was kind of hard to look at the regional scores when they came out the next day, especially in the Jeffco League,” said Schroer. “I think it was 82 or 83 that was the cut. Hopefully it will be better this year.” Arapahoe coach Harry Buckner summed up the qualifying change in a few words. “Good golfers will get to state now,” he said. Highlands Ranch coach James Barker, however, doesn’t like the change. “To me a region is a geographic area, and you ought to know where your regional championship is going to be well ahead of time so you can get some practice rounds on the course,” said Barker. “Also, the season has to end on Sept. 9 to do this seeding for the regionals, so that means we’re only going to be playing a monthlong season. “I don’t like it at all. My argument against people who complain about shooting a good score and not getting into the state

championship is they need to get better. I do think we shouldn’t have players who shoot 90 in the state championship, but I don’t think we’ve ever found a good formula. Maybe a two-day regional would be better.” Regis Jesuit and Cherry Creek will again be among the state’s top teams, and Doug-

las County returns the defending Class 5A individual champion in Kyler Dunkle. Valor Christian finished second in the 2012 Class 4A state tournament, losing a playoff to Pueblo South on the second hole. Four players on that team, Josh Seiple, Coby Welch, Jake Staiano and Ross Macdonald, were underclassmen.

Burdick is looking for better and more consistent performances this season from his golfers. With the new regional qualifying format, Littleton could have a decent chance at qualifying a team for the Class 5A state tournament. Say what? — “If the boys haven’t improved their scores by several strokes each in the past year, we will be watching the state championships instead of playing in it,” said Burdick.

Former Secret Service agent to talk about JFK Englewood High grad served three presidents By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com Jerry Blaine has been a lot of things in his life — a sailor, a student, and a Secret Service agent assigned to three U.S. presidents, including John F. Kennedy. It’s the three years he spent with Kennedy that were documented in his New York Times best-seller “The Kennedy Detail,” and in the upcoming film due out in 2014. The 1950 Englewood High School graduate and Korean War veteran has spent a lot of time discussing his book since it was released in 2010, but says he has just one presentation left in him. Because of his local roots, he will give that presentation to the Highlands Ranch Historical Society at 7 p.m. Aug. 19 at Southridge Recreation Center, 4800 McArthur Ranch Road in Highlands Ranch. The PowerPoint presentation will be followed with a question-andanswer period as well as a book signing. The talk, he said, will focus on the difference — from the Secret Service perspective — of the Eisenhower presidency and the Kennedy presidency, the Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis, and the personal relationship he developed with the Kennedy family. He will also talk about the differences in the Secret Service between then and now. Blaine, who was hired by the service in 1959 after earning a business degree from the University of Colorado, was the first agent assigned to the Kennedy detail and joined the president-elect in Palm Beach, Fla., the day after the 1960 election.

Jerry Blaine rides on the right rear foot of President John F. Kennedy’s limousine through the streets of Berlin in June 1963. Blaine, a 1950 Englewood High School graduate, served five years in the secret service from 1959-1964. The author of the book, “The Kennedy Detail,” he will talk about his experiences Aug. 19 with the Highlands Ranch Historical Society. Courtesy photo

“Being the first agent on regular detail with him, I had quite a bit of interaction with him. I had a lot more after he hit me in the head with a golf ball,” he said. “If he wasn’t tied up in the affairs of state, he would stop by the post and shoot the breeze. He was very personal that way.” And while Kennedy was extremely personal with Blaine and the other agents, one thing Blaine won’t discuss in the presentation and does not address in his book is the personal affairs of the president — something that has been

heavily documented, and not all of which Blaine says is anywhere near close to the truth. “A lot of it is exaggerated, including the Marilyn Monroe thing, which is blown way out of proportion,” he said. “It didn’t define the Kennedy administration.” While some of what may be holding Blaine back is an unwritten code between agents never to discuss First Family matters openly, he said he was compelled to write the book a few years back after “the conspiracy theorists began to kidnap history.”

“It was time to put together the facts of what happened. That’s why I wrote the book,” he said. “We knew from the day after Kennedy was elected we were working under a different circumstance than we were working under with Eisenhower.” Blaine, who saw the president for the last time when he left Fort Worth for Dallas the day he was shot, will address the assassination, and said he is happy to answer questions surrounding all of the theories that have circled it for the last 50 years.
