Broadstone proposal voted down Apartment complex is rejected 6-1 despite attempts to compromise By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com After nearly a year of wrangling among neighbors, city staff, the property owner and development team, Littleton City Council finally shot down the controversial Broadstone at Littleton Station apartment complex.

“The message that we must get out there is that the right project will be approved,” Councilor Jerry Valdes said before the 2 a.m. Sept. 4 vote. “But not all of them will be approved, and not all of them will be denied.” The final vote, which was 6-1, was supposed to happen a month ago. But council sent the proposal back to the planning board, which had already unanimously recommended denial, after development company Alliance Residential made lastminute changes to scale down the size and density of the building. The company originally planned 325 units in six stories. After several revisions, it ended up with 225 in five.

It was a last-ditch effort to appease a large group of unhappy citizens, many of them neighbors of the site on the southeast corner of Littleton Boulevard and Bemis Street. The plan did a little better on its second go-round with the board, garnering a yes vote from chair Randy Duzan. On Sept. 4, Councilor Jim Taylor cast the only vote to spare Broadstone its ultimate demise. In his final term, Taylor represents the district that includes downtown. He felt the 225-unit, high-end apartment complex would create economic opportunity and jobs, noting currently empty Main Street storefronts.

“Having a younger generation move in will cause a buying spree,” he said. The Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants agreed, submitting a letter in support of the project. “The rezoning of this property from commercial to residential will promote the economic development and growth of downtown Littleton as pedestrian connectivity increases between the restaurants, retail merchants and the light-rail station,” they wrote. Most of the six councilors who voted against the project said the concerns and Broadstone continues on Page 7

Hundreds of dogs take the plunge Canines dive into waters of Pirates Cove By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The deep big-dog barks and the higher-pitched woofs of smaller dogs blended as canines of a wide variety of sizes, colors and breeds took over Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Park for the Sept. 7 Freedom Festival and Doggie Plunge. This is the sixth year for the Freedom Service Dogs-sponsored fundraising events. Organizers expected about 1,000 canine visitors because, on Sept. 7, all the waters were open to the canines to chase balls and just splash around. However, the lap pool was set aside for dock-dog practice. Owners took turns throwing a target item far out in the pool then releasing the dog to take off down the runway and jump out into the pool as far as possible. The day’s activities also include the Freedom Festival in Belleview Park. Pet product vendors created a midway of canopies. There was a canopy urging adoption of shelter dogs, a vendor selling a variety of treats and a vendor displaying examples of pet portraits. The festival also included demonstrations, a pet beauty contest and a dog ice-cream-eating contest. Freedom Service Dogs organizers are already making plans for next year’s event. POSTAL ADDRESS

Littleton City Council took a sharp turn on pot about 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 4, abruptly changing course from deciding whether to allow retail marijuana sales to deciding on an outright ban. After the seven-hour meeting that saw the fall of the Broadstone apartment proposal, council had one last task as the crowded chamber emptied — hearing on first reading a proposed ordinance that would have allowed the city’s four existing medical-marijuana dispensaries to sell to the general public. However, Mayor Debbie Brinkman introduced an amendment to switch the language from allowing retail sales to banning them. “I don’t think increasing access and making it a part of our community is really what we intend Littleton to be,” said Brinkman. Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Stahlman and councilors Jim Taylor, Jerry Valdes Brinkman and Peggy Cole indicated support for the original language during an Aug. 27 study session. But Stahlman reversed course on first reading, saying he wasn’t aware Littleton would be the only south-metro city to allow it, although it came up during the study session. “We’re surrounded by communities that have said no,” said Councilor Bruce Beckman at the time. “I’m not sure that Littleton wants to stand out when the whole south-metro area has said no.” “Frankly, that’s causing me to reconsider the whole thing,” Stahlman said Sept. 4. Cole, Taylor and Valdes pressed to start the process over since the ordinance was

CSU plans classes in south metro area No specific location announced for program starting in January By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado State University announced Sept. 5 that it is moving ahead with plans to launch a “significant presence” in the south metro Denver area early next year. “The CSU South Metro Denver presence is one of the last essential elements for us to prosper economically in this global environment,” John Brackney, president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, said in a news release. “We are deeply appreciative of CSU for its desire to leverage the strength of our businesses community, specifically in relationship to STEM disciplines, and for considering the possibilities of cooperative education in direct partnership with major

employers.” The first classes will begin in January and are part of a systems-engineering master’s degree program. No specific location has been announced. CSU spokesman Kyle Henley said university officials are working with a number of local tech companies in hopes of utilizing their training facilities for those classes. Ronald M. Sega, CSU’s vice president and enterprise executive for energy and the environment, will serve as a liaison to the business community and as the lead academic adviser. Sega is a former NASA astronaut and retired major general in the Air Force. “One of the real opportunities of the CSU-South Metro project is to provide key graduate-level programs that clearly fill strategic needs for the region’s business community,” Sega said. “I’m looking forward to meeting with our corporate partners in the coming weeks and months to discuss how we can serve them and support the region’s strong track record of economic growth.”

In fall of 2014, CSU will add four-year degrees in business and nursing, and more as demand is realized. But Henley said the intent is not to compete with local community colleges, and that CSU has in fact been working closely with Arapahoe Community College in Littleton and other higher-education institutions in the area. “We’ve had a lot of conversations with ACC and continue to work closely with them,” said Henley. “We see a lot of very promising relationships, and we’re going to continue to talk with them.” CSU System Chancellor Mike Martin said partnering with community colleges means graduates don’t have to leave Denver or commute to continue their college education. In addition, it will help keep CSU’s startup costs low, eliminate overlap and help guide two-year graduates toward a bachelor’s degree. CSU hopes to build a permanent facility in the region in the next three to five years, though Henley said a location has not been chosen.

NEWS IN A HURRY Hudson Gardens hosts veterans fair

Hudson Gardens, 6115 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton, is hosting the KEZW Veterans Fair from 9 a.m. to noon Sept. 21. Those who have answered their country’s call are all entitled to benefits earned for that service. However, veterans often don’t know what they are entitled to or where to go for answers. The fair brings together several dozen veterans’ groups and organizations to answer such questions, ranging from health care to funeral services to employment and more. The fair is free and open to every veteran and their family members.

Officials seek input on needs of poor

On Sept. 24 at 6 p.m., there will be a hearing at the Arapahoe County Justice Center, 7325 S. Potomac in Centennial, to help determine the civil legal needs of low-income residents of the 18th Judicial District, which includes Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. The panel will include Colorado Supreme Court Justice Gregory J. Hobbs Jr. and Chief Judge William B. Sylvester, as well as legislators, elected

officials and members of the legal community. This will be a congressional-style hearing with testimony from designated witnesses to help identify gaps in local legal services and evaluate specific needs of individual communities. The information gathered at this hearing and similar hearings across Colorado will be compiled into a report and presented to the state Legislature, the Colorado Supreme Court and the governor.

Lockheed Martin rides for diabetes

Lockheed Martin fielded a team of 111 employees last month to support the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure and emerged as the top corporate team in funds raised. Now in its sixth year with Tour de Cure, the team raised more than $51,000. “Lockheed Martin is proud to be a longtime supporter of the American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure,” said Rick Ambrose, executive vice president. “Year after year, our employees team up for this worthy cause, and

we’re excited to have fielded our largest Colorado team ever to support the fight against diabetes.”

“This is one of the last highly populated regions in Colorado that is not being served in a meaningful way by a public four-year institution of higher education, and we believe that through collaboration and partnerships, the CSU System can help build a new model to deliver local, high-quality degree programs that meet the needs of the south-metro region’s students and businesses,” said Martin. Brackney applauds that approach. “Business leaders have been advocating a four-year public institute of higher education in south-metro Denver for decades, and now, thanks to CSU, that vision is coming to reality soon,” he said. In turn, university officials credit the chamber for driving the effort. “We’re honored that they approached the CSU System as their first choice for a higher-education partner,” said Martin. “We’ve looked very closely at this for nearly a year and see tremendous opportunity for the CSU System to bring real value to local students, families and industry in Denver’s South Metro area.”

Push is on for taxes on marijuana Capitol rally urges voters to approve 25 percent levy By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Supporters of a retail marijuana tax initiative held a Capitol rally on Sept. 4, urging Colorado voters to back pot sales taxes this fall to ensure that the newly created industry “pays its own way.” The rally served as a campaign kickoff for Proposition AA, which will ask voters to give the go-ahead for retail pot to be taxed at 25 percent, with the revenue going toward school construction and support for industry regulation. Retail pot sales will soon become a reality in the state, thanks to last year’s voterbacked passage of Amendment 64. The Legislature passed pot regulations earlier this year, but voters still must decide whether they will support the taxes needed to fund retail marijuana rules. State Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, who played a key role in crafting Amendment 64 legislation, said that unless voters back the pot taxes this fall, “we will have to do one of two things: Take money from education and other programs in Colorado to fund this industry, or we’ll have lackluster or lax enforcement,” “This campaign kickoff is to acknowledge and recognize to the people of Colorado that these taxes absolutely must pass,” Pabon said. Proposition AA will ask voters to approve a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent retail tax on marijuana sales. Revenue from the excise tax will go toward public school

State Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, speaks on behalf of a marijuana tax ballot question at a Sept. 4 rally at the Colorado Capitol. Photo by Vic Vela construction, while the money collected from the retail tax will back the regulations that were enacted by the Legislature. The 25 percent state tax does not include whatever local taxes might be imposed by individual municipalities. Brian Vicente, an architect of Amendment 64, said the taxes are expected to bring in about $70 million in revenue for the state. Vicente also reminded voters that only pot-smokers will be required to cough up the tax money.

“This is a tax that really would only apply to people who choose to participate in regulated marijuana,” Vicente said. “Those who do not purchase marijuana will not be subject to this tax.” Pot tax supporters were asked whether they had concerns that competing tax questions on this year’s ballot could affect the passage of Prop AA — such as Initiative 22, which will ask voters to support more than $900 million in new taxes to overhaul the school finance system. “I think these issues will rise and fall on

their own merits,” said state Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver. “I think our voters are discerning.” Steadman also said that voters who supported Amendment 64 last November knew that the pot industry would have to be taxed. Proposition AA supporters also said they were pleased with the federal government’s recent guidance on states that allow legalized pot. The Department of Justice issued a memo saying it would not seek to block recreational pot sales in states that allow it, so long as the retail pot industry abides by firm state regulations. State Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, who sponsored the marijuana tax bill that led to Proposition AA, said the Legislature made “very responsible and very necessary first steps” in making sure the marijuana industry abides by a strict set of rules. Singer, who worked as a drug counselor at Colorado State University, said that he understands “the effects of drugs.” “I also understand the importance of having the funding available to make sure that our communities are safe and that we build better schools,” Singer said. “This is not just about making sure that we are protecting our communities, but making sure that marijuana pays its own way.” The package of Amendment 64 legislation received bipartisan support at the Capitol this year. However, no Republican lawmakers attended the rally. Pabon said his Republican colleagues are “on the record” with their support, and also noted Republican Attorney General John Suthers’ recent endorsement of the pot tax. “As we move forward, you’ll be seeing more and more GOP support,” Pabon said.

Plans were changed during a Sept. 3 Englewood City Council discussion of a proposal to construct two short transition routes between bike trails and on-street bike routes, using administrative financial penalties paid by the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant for sewage spills. Originally, plans were to build a connection at the Hosanna Sports Complex and another at Belleview Park. But, during the discussion with city council, Councilmember Rick Gillit objected to the Belleview Park plan. “The Belleview Park area is congested, there are few if any available parking spaces and there is a poor line of sight,” he said. “I don’t think this would be a good area to put in a bike trail connection.” David Lee, open space manager, said the staff looked at three possible projects. The

third would be in the area around Emerson Park. “We can look again at the Emerson Park proposal,” he said. “It would build an offstreet connection on the north side of the park, connecting the on-street bike route on Clarkson Street to the on-street bike route on Bates Avenue.” The council consensus was to go with the work in Hosanna Sports Complex and Emerson Park. Lee said both projects are in keeping with the city’s master bicycle plan. The estimated $52,575 for the two projects is half of the money the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant paid in administrative penalties. Dennis Stowe, plant manager, said the fees were assessed for spills over several years, the last in 2008. He said the spills were primarily during the major construction at the plant. Stowe said Englewood and Littleton jointly own the plant. So, Englewood received half the fees for its two projects and Littleton received the same amount. Lee said the plan is to move forward quickly so both projects can be completed before the end of 2013.

Individuals check items dropped off at last year’s household hazardous waste roundup. This year’s roundup will be held on Sept. 14 and 21. File photo paint and propane tanks. Items that use mercury like thermometers and barometers will also be accepted. There is a limit of 10 gallons of material per vehicle, and there is a cost of $20 to drop off items. There is no charge to drop off cell phones, toner cartridges, desktop copiers and fax machines, but there is a charge of $15 per monitor and a $25 payment per television set. While the roundup will accept antifreeze and motor oil, organizers remind residents it isn’t necessary to save those until the roundup, because a number of Englewood and Littleton businesses accept the items free of charge all year so the materials can be recycled. A list of those businesses is given to those who visit the roundup. Latex paint will no longer be accepted. Over the history of the roundup, hundreds of gallons of latex paint have been collected, but it is no longer

considered a hazardous material and can be disposed of by removing the lid to dry it out, then putting it in the trash. Adding cat litter to the mix speeds up the drying process. Another option is to pour the latex paint in a plasticlined cardboard box, which works best if the paint is an inch deep or less. The first roundup was held in 1992 and was for Englewood residents only. In 1998, the program was expanded to include Littleton residents. About 200 people normally visit the event. The goal is to recycle all the materials collected. Volunteers of the Keep Englewood Beautiful and the cities of Englewood and Littleton will staff the event that is put on with the technical help of the Littleton Fire Department and the Englewood Fire Department. Additionally, Electronic Recyclers International will do the recycling of office equipment.

Everyone at the Littleton Independent is gearing up for its big 125th birthday bash, 6 p.m. Sept. 27 on the lawn at Hudson Gardens. “Being 125 years young deserves a celebration, and we have a great one planned for the Littleton Independent,” said Jerry Healey, owner and publisher of Colorado Community Media. “We invite the entire community to come out and celebrate along with us on Sept. 27.” Healey’s plan for the evening is a creative blend of dance party and variety show, with John Akal’s Ultraphonic Jazz Orchestra playing music from across the ages of the Independent’s existence. As the evening journeys through the decades, historical tidbits from some of the Independent’s most notable headlines will enlighten the audience about some of Littleton’s most infamous

moments. Copies of the commemorative edition of the newspaper will be on hand, as well. We’ve been collecting thoughts from the community to share, like this one from Michelle Stacey, a dispatcher with Littleton Fire Rescue and a Western Welcome Week board member: “I must say that my two favorite issues featured my grandchildren at Littleton Fire Children’s mini academy. And that is the beauty of a local newspaper. There is not an issue that I’ve read that didn’t have an article, letter or photo of someone I know personally.” And party guests are sure to see lots of familiar faces, as the entire community is invited for refreshments, cake and lots of fun during the free, family-friendly event, starting at 6 p.m., rain or shine. Call 303-566-4100 for more information.

Noise monitors installed by airport Douglas, Arapahoe each get six gauges By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com In a continued effort to keep the noise level down for people living and working in the flight path of Centennial Airport, the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority is in the process of installing noise monitors in Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The authority began site selection in 2009, selecting six locations in each county. The airport has already put up five monitors, all of which are solar, two on airport property, one in Cherry Creek State Park, and one each in Lone Tree and Castle Rock. With the Aug. 27 approval by the Douglas County commissioners to allow for construction of a 22-foot tall monitor, similar in stature to a telephone pole, on public land along Fifth Street in Parker’s Grandview’s Estates, the airport authority now has clearance for all 12 monitors, the last of which will be installed this September. “It will give us the capability to measure the actual noise of aircraft departing from and arriving at the airport,” said Michael Fronapfel, deputy director of planning and development with Centennial Airport. “Having a noise system is not necessarily a requirement; however it’s one of the things the FAA is willing to fund to assist airports with addressing some of the noise impacts on the community.” Fronapfel said the sites were selected to

Castle Rock

give a wide representation of flight paths into the airport as planes head over local communities, in addition in areas where the airport has received complaints of too much noise in the past. “This study allows us to be able to go back to the FAA and say if a particular route is problematic for us,” Fronapfel said. “It’s good to have a historical picture of where we are making improvements or if we are going in the wrong direction.” In addition to the Grandview Estates noise monitor, the remaining seven locations where monitors will be installed include the Meridian area, Surrey Ridge and at E-470 and Parker Road in Douglas County, as well as Greenwood Village, Aurora’s Sagebrush Park and Hunter’s Hill in Centennial in Arapahoe County. With the exception of a solar install in Surrey Ridge, the others will all be electric. The expected lifespan of each monitor is 20 years, Fronapfel said, adding that the airport spent just $75,000 on the entire project, with the remaining $1.5 million coming from a Federal Aviation Administration grant. No local tax dollars are being spent on the project.

One of 12 noise monitors to be installed by Centennial Airport in Arapahoe and Douglas counties, this one at the west edge of the Family Sports Golf Course is one of two that sits on airport property. It is also one of five solar noise monitors being used to track and record noise by incoming and outgoing planes. Courtesy photo

the character of the residential neighborhood to the east and north of the project were paramount. “When we begin to manage change in Littleton, we really have to put the neighborhoods first,” said Councilor Bruce Beckman. About 65 people showed up to object to Broadstone. They voiced concerns about traffic, density, character, transience, safety and more. Don Bruns referenced the city’s new “Anything but Little” motto. “Many of us did not choose Littleton because we hoped it would become big town,” he said. About 15 represented the supportive camp. “We’ve got a downtown. I’d like to see an uptown,” said Tom O’Brien. Several councilors weren’t willing

to cede any more commercial property. Councilor Phil Cernanec said the project could throw off the strived-for balance of uses downtown, and referenced the developer’s observation that under the current zoning, pretty much any commercial use is allowed without regard for height, setbacks or even public opinion. “I’m not going to operate from a position of fear,” said Cernanec. A striking feature of the meeting was the seemingly endless ways city documents can be applied to either side of a rezone. Supporters and opponents alike referenced the comprehensive plan, which was written 30 years ago. Other pertinent documents include the downtown design guidelines, the Littleton corridor study and the economic plan that council just adopted in May. Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Stahlman said they contain a variety of desirable options that don’t always agree with each other.

Fran Pierson agrees. He lives just east of the site in Littleton Station condos and originally felt Broadstone ran counter to the comprehensive plan. But after working extensively with the developer to scale the project back to be more in line with the neighborhood, he’s changed his mind. “Broadstone is an opportunity to develop a critical transit-oriented development with intelligence and integrity,” said Pierson. At the end of the 7½-hour meeting, even those who worked hardest against the project were surprised at the outcome. “I was blown away,” wrote Paul Bingham in an email to Citizens for Rational Development. “I thought at best we’d get a 3-4 vote.” Resident Nancy Barger said she hoped the evening would end a year of contention in the community. “We all still have to get along,” she said. “You’ll all be here, we’ll all be here, but the developers won’t.”

City Attorney Ken Fellman said that wasn’t necessary since the portion of affected city code wasn’t changing. “We may have the authority, but it’s just not the proper thing to do,” said Valdes. “We did that a couple weeks ago, and I don’t think it looked good.” He was referring to council’s decision to send a substantially altered Broadstone project back to the plan-

ning board for review rather than voting on the developer’s original proposal, forcing him back to square one in the city review process. Valdes and many citizens thought that’s what should have happened. The public will be welcome to express opinions on the proposed marijuana ordinance on Sept. 17, when council is set to make a final decision.

Finding clarity on pot a taxing process More than 10 months after Colorado voters approved the legalization of recreational marijuana use and sales, confusion reigns. Sure, passage of Amendment 64 last November made a few things clear: Possession of up to 1 ounce is legal. People under 21 years of age may not purchase pot. It remains illegal to smoke marijuana in public places. But a couple of the most basic questions still need to be answered: Where can one legally buy it? How much will it cost? The first question is being explored by Colorado’s cities and counties. At this point, few Denver-area municipalities have opted to make retail sales legal, instead taking a cautious, wait-and-see approach. Some — like all of Douglas County’s most populated cities and towns — have already decided to outright ban retail sales. It’s

our view possible most of Colorado could follow suit, leaving the state with a handful of “marijuana islands” where pot is legally sold. The cost question is largely in the hands of the state’s voters. On top of whatever price point the marijuana market dictates, there will be taxes, and in Colorado, that means voter approval is needed. A recent rally at the Capitol in Denver urged approval of a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent sales tax on the retail marijuana industry. If the state’s voters approve Proposition AA in November, money

“No, I don’t think we should, I just think we need to stay out of stuff. We are in too many things already.” — Barb Chapman, Highlands Ranch

“I don’t see any end game for this other than we are going to involve ourselves in a conflict that really has no easy resolution.” — William Brown, Highlands Ranch

Forecasts are ours to interpret Is it going to be partly cloudy or mostly sunny? That is one of those types of questions that is similar to, “Is the glass half full or half empty,” right? Even with the latest and greatest technology and applied scientific facts, at the end of the day the interpretation of the forecast can be influenced by the person sharing the information or even by our own mood or attitude on the day we see or hear the prediction for the weather. Forecasts are not just about the weather, are they? Analysts and prognosticators forecast the outcomes and productivity of everything from the stock market and individual companies to professional sporting events and even amateur or high school sporting events. Who will win, who will lose, and by how much? In the business world, CEOs base their operational decisions on the sales forecast provided by the vice president of sales and the chief marketing officer. They anticipate revenues based on information gathered through stringent business tools and processes like Customer Relationship Management applications. Again the latest and greatest technology, however influenced by human input and emotion. You see, if

the data input is based on the attitude, mood, or feeling of the person sharing the information, it becomes subjective. And in some cases this places the business at great risk due to inaccurate and confused forecasts. So whether or not it is you or I searching for the weather forecast on our smart phone, listening for it on the radio, or watching it on television, it is really an opportunity for us to look at the day as mostly sunny, not partly cloudy. And if the business analysts and sportswriters provide us with their outlook on what will be happening with our stocks or favorite teams, it is up to us to determine how that Norton continues on Page 9

letter to the editor Two school measures too many

I like Littleton Public Schools board President Bob Colwell, but he must have blinkers on if he thinks that “a proposed statewide $1 billion tax increase for education has nothing to do” with the board’s move to put an $80 million bond issue on the ballot (“School bond issue heads for ballot,” Sept. 5, South Platte Independent and Littleton Independent).

This might’ve been a winnable proposition had the board waited a year, but uncertainty over the passage of the state measure — with its concomitant financial burden in this sluggish economic environment — will almost certainly doom the local one. Patience, board members, patience. Steve Oelrich Jefferson County

from the taxes would reportedly go toward school construction and regulation of the marijuana industry. In general, we support approval of this proposition. It helps ensure the marijuana industry will pay for itself, and helps schools, to boot. But we do wonder if too many taxes could lead pot customers to turn back to the black market. The 25 percent statewide tax from Proposition AA would be in addition to whatever taxes local municipalities’ voters approve. Denver, for example, is asking residents to say yes to a 5 percent tax. The total tax toll of 30 percent could lead to an unaffordable product in what figures to be the state’s largest marijuana-selling zone. Having customers once again turn to the dealer down the street would be a clear example of the law of unintended consequences. But we feel taxes may be the only

way to keep the retail pot business from being a burden on Colorado, something the medical marijuana industry has been over the last few years. The state will have to bank on people’s willingness to pay the price for legality. Even after the issues of where to buy and how much it will cost are officially answered, there will remain plenty of gray areas. For example, many people are uncertain if they will get fired from their jobs if they partake. Others aren’t clear on how much they can smoke and still legally drive. Truth be told, it may take years — and more than a few legal challenges — before all the answers are in. But this November’s election and the actions of local governments in the months to follow should add important measures of clarity amid the lingering cloud of confusion.

Please don’t give me a sign Autographs are dumb. What’s the point? What do you do with them? I don’t want Abraham Lincoln’s autograph or John Lennon’s autograph. What would I do with them? Look at them? I really doubt it. Or sell them? I especially don’t want Johnny Manziel’s autograph, but I will get to that. I have seen athletes and others autograph everything under the sun, and they can do it without looking. I think it is humiliating to stand in a queue to get an autograph. I am OK with book signings, but otherwise if you thrust a scrap of paper in front of Pink you are a fool, or at least foolish. I have a couple of signed letters in my home, one from Katharine Hepburn, and the other one from Charles Schulz, although I don’t know where the Schulz letter is. Somewhere in the basement. I don’t consider either one of them an autograph. But if you are interested, I can leave them on the front porch for you. I have to sign all of my paintings. I used to sign on the back, just like Georgia O’Keeffe (“Would you sign your face?”), until my California gallery balked and said I would have to fly out and sign everything on the front. I am no longer with the gallery, but since I don’t like to fly, I decided to sign everything on the front from now on. It appears that the Heisman committee has honored another jerk. Johnny Manziel. He joins O.J. Simpson and Reggie Bush. The difference is that Manziel is still playing, and he is still up to no good, and is an embarrassment to Texas A&M and college football. He was suspended for half a game (ouch) because of allegations about a sus-

The Independent

picious number of autographs he signed. If the world is flooded with Manziel autographs, how valuable or meaningful are they? Zero in my book. “I have a Manziel autograph.” “So what?” Manziel sat on the sidelines during the first half of the A&M game with Rice, and then came in and turned on his charms. After one touchdown pass he pretended to sign autographs. It reminded me of another jerk: Terrell Owens, who pulled a Sharpie out of his sock after a touchdown, and signed the football. After subsequent touchdown passes, Manziel taunted Rice players and was penalized. His coach pulled him. The school should pull him, and let him take his talents to the NFL, where someone, I hope, knocks his block off. I know that Manziel and his family are frustrated. A&M has profited enormously because of Manziel, and all Manziel has gotten out of it is a free college education, a national stage, an opportunity to prove himself to NFL scouts, and the potential for innumerable future endorsements.

Political attack ads get off to early start Recently, a Washington, D.C.-based radical environmental group, the League of Conservation Voters, ran an unprecedented $790,000 worth of attack ads against me alleging that I was a “climate change denier.” This is by far the largest negative political ad buy, this far out from an election, in our state’s history. The attack ads were concentrated over a two-week period. First of all, the ads claimed that “Coffman questions whether climate change is even a problem.” There is no question that climate change is real since it has existed since the beginning of time and will always be a factor that can negatively impact our environment. The role that carbon emissions, from human activity, have on climate change is still a subject of debate but, in my view, there is no question that it also has a negative impact. What is clear is that we should do all that we can to reduce carbon emissions, irrespective of how one feels about the validity of the extent of man-caused climate

change, in order to improve the quality of our environment. However, we should do so under a balanced approach that considers the economic impact of our actions. What the League of Conservations Voters wants to do is to impose a carbon tax to raise the price of conventional carbonbased fuels in order to discourage their use and to make the higher-cost renewable sources comparatively more attractive. I oppose that strategy because working and middle-class families have had it hard enough under this economy, and they

don’t need to be punished even more with higher energy prices. Instead, I have voted to appropriate federal dollars to research renewable energy solutions that are not only beneficial to our environment, but will become more cost-competitive with traditional fuel sources. The ads go on to say that I’m opposed to doing anything to reduce carbon emissions. Even by their standards, these claims are blatantly false. I’ve always endorsed an all-of-the-above energy strategy and have publicly supported the wind energy production tax credit. In fact, just before the ads ran I was in Brighton visiting the Vestas plant that makes turbines for the wind energy industry. I’ve also been active in leading the effort to sanction China for unfair trade practices when it comes to their near-monopoly status on rare earth metals that are essential to both solar and wind energy manufacturing in the United States.

I believe that we can continue to reduce harmful carbon emissions in the United States through energy conservation and the development of cleaner cost-competitive energy alternatives. These ads do not reflect that reality because they are trying to produce a partisan political outcome and not an environmental one. It’s unfortunate that there are powerful special interests groups out of Washington, D.C. that now think they can best influence elections in a state like Colorado by spending massive amounts of money on negative ads well over a year before voters will go to the polls to decide who will represent them.

as a member of the “Gang of Eight” senators who authored the bipartisan Senate immigration bill and more recently as a member of the Farm Bill Conference Committee that will work out the final details of the farm bill. It’s my hope that members of Congress across the country are also spending

time in their states listening to the common sense of their constituents, instead of the ongoing noise of Washington’s echo chamber, so we can better serve our rural communities.

Republican Mike Coffman is the U.S. Representative for Colorado’s 6th District. He is a Marine Corps combat veteran and has a combined 21 years of military experience between the Army, the Army Reserve, the Marine Corps and the Marine Corps Reserve.

D.C. dysfunction hurts rural Colorado

One sign of the dysfunction in Washington is that the conversations there have become completely detached from the ones ed. Ifhappening in kitchens and living rooms across Colorado and the country. Recently, we spent some days traveling e the eastern plains from north to south. From Haxtun to Walsh, people weren’t interested in talking about the latest shouting the from pundits on the cable news. Instead, nd they asked why Congress hasn’t passed a s. farm bill or fixed our broken immigration ed system and why Washington isn’t meeting its basic obligations. We’ve met Coloradans who are hard at da wn, work every day doing their jobs, wondering what’s taking Congress so long to get its own job done. s, One thing is clear: Washington isn’t peool meeting our rural communities’ needs.

The certainty that comes from passage of a five-year farm bill, or a sound immigration policy, is essential for the success of our farmers, ranchers, small businesses and rural economies. While the Senate has passed bipartisan bills addressing these issues, the U.S. House of Representatives is stuck in “politics as usual.” What they fail to see is that these delays have real-life implications across our state. Southeastern Colorado farmers continue to suffer from a terrible drought. While we can’t make it rain, the bipartisan Senate farm bill includes measures to help farmers and ranchers make the best decisions for their operations, improve soil and water quality and keep them in business during and after difficult times. The bill also reinstates expired livestock disaster programs that would cover losses both for this year and last year. On Hanagan Farms in La Junta, we met with farmers and ranchers who explained that our broken immigration system is hurting their businesses. The convoluted and unworkable H-2A visa program prevents them from finding the reliable workers that they need to harvest their crops. It’s stories like these that help my office bring Colorado’s perspective back to Washington. They are invaluable to my work

impacts our forecast for the day. Will that news make it a partly cloudy day, or mostly sunny? Or is the forecast for 100 percent rain and a guarantee that a team will lose and a company’s stock will crash? And some of the people we see and hear on television or the radio are very passionate and convincing, wanting us to believe in their opinion or forecast. Maybe it’s because “partly cloudy” attracts more attention than “mostly sunny.” When did we become comfortable, even accepting of bad news? Why do we focus on the slightest possibility of the “bad” instead of the enormous opportunity for the “good”? There are plenty of people whose forecast is within a reasonable rate of accuracy.

trade it all for a Vespa. I don’t want any autographs in the house. It just seems like you are polishing someone else’s shoes. I would like to see Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sign an autograph, just to see how long it took. I would like to see Maria Sharapova sign an autograph, just to see her cursive. Anyone who signs their name with a smiley face belongs in jail. The only autographs I want are on big checks. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net

But who determines what is a reasonable rate of accuracy for our own forecasts and in our own lives? Are we OK with being 10 percent accurate, 50 percent accurate, or do we need the assurance of 100 percent accuracy of how our days and weeks are going to turn out? It’s not just about the forecast, it’s about how we perceive our personal and professional endeavors and how we prepare ourselves for the outcomes regardless if the results are what we had anticipated and forecasted, or something worse, and maybe even something much better. What’s in your forecast? Is it going to be partly cloudy or mostly sunny? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And yes, I am forecasting a better than good week.

May 1, 1943 - Aug 31, 2013

Bob was born in Wichita, Kansas to Glenn and Marguerite Mitchell. His father was a pioneer in electrical engineering and his mother worked at a flower shop. The year he was born, his parents bought a porch swing. It was on this swing that Bob found his life-long love of Folk Music; often spending evenings listening to his Grandpa Burge sing old folk tunes. In his generation, he is the only Mitchell grandson, which would become important later in his life. The family attended Trinity Church and Bob spent many hours honing his patented hook shot on the church basketball team. He graduated from West High School (1961) and attended Friends University; receiving a Bachelor’s in Mathematics, Economics and Business Administration (1966). While at Friends, he served as Student Body President, first president of the college Kiwanis Club and sang with the Singing Quakers. Upon graduation he served for seven years as a Captain in the Air Force. It was here that he discovered his gift for programming, graduating first in his class in Air Force Computer Programming School. In 1968, Bob married Faith Shugart in Wichita, KS. Together, they had two boys, David and Larry, and a dog named Ginger. Following the Air Force, he went to work with Hughes Aircraft Company as a Software Engineer. As a Senior Project Manager at Hughes, he introduced teamwork concepts resulting in new productivity records. His passion for teambuilding and problem solving permeated all aspects of his life, including his family, and his consulting. Bob found home and community when he moved to Littleton in 1978. He dove in: served as president of the Friends of the Li-

Private Party

brary Museum, sang in the Littleton Chorale, coached his sons in youth sports, performed in Fiasco, was involved in Western Welcome Week and always looked for opportunities to connect. In October of 1989 he met the love of his life Judy, and with her came two beautiful daughters, Heidi and Chris. By 1991, Bob and Judy were married, uniting their families. Over the next few years what started as a mix-mosh group of step-siblings and step-parents, grew into true family. In the 22 years that followed, the family roots deepened with children’s marriages, the birth of grandchildren, and Bob’s newly found passion for family history. Bob and Judy’s love grew over the years. They laughed together every single day, shared in their love of music, and enjoyed simply being together. Their love was so alive that people they didn’t even know would often ask: “are you newlyweds?” Bob and Judy would simply giggle and smile knowingly at one another in response. His smile, humor, dry wit, and unbreakable spirit for life and learning will be sorely missed. But, mostly, his love of family and his capacity for caring will never be forgotten. Goodbye to a wonderful husband, father, grandpa and people-person. You will always be in our hearts. He is survived by: Wife: Judy Mitchell, Littleton, CO. Sons: David Mitchell (Amy), Centennial, CO Larry Mitchell (Karen) Brooklyn, NY. Daughters: Heidi Sturm (Brandy), Polson, MT Chris Hunter, Prescott, AZ. Sisters: Doris Sachs (Ron), near Sacramento, CA, Virginia Wood (Ken), Boise, ID. Grandchildren: Trysten and Kailyn Mitchell, Brock and Brody Sturm, Kolby and Ashton Hunter.

Rural road deaths reflect limits on assistance Sparse services tied to high fatality rates By Kevin Vaughan

I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS A car swerves across the centerline and slams into you head-on in a sickening thud, a spray of glass, an exploding air bag. You’re alive, but you’re hurt and you need help — fast. Someone calls 911. Who comes to render aid, how much training and experience they have, and even how long it takes them to arrive will vary drastically, depending on where you are in Colorado. So will your chances of living or dying. That’s because in emergency medicine, minutes matter. And Colorado is a state with 82 percent of its 5.2 million people concentrated along the Front Range from Fort Collins to Pueblo. It’s also a state with vast sweeps of rural land, including three of the nation’s 15 least-populous counties. Those realities have spawned a patchwork emergency medical system where a wide disparity exists between the on-theground care you could expect along a rural highway and what you would see along the urban Front Range. It’s a state with dead zones, where no dedicated ambulance service exists. And it’s a state where many rural communities are fighting to maintain even a basic emergency medical service. “We struggle day in and day out,” said Sue Kern, the emergency medical system coordinator and coroner in Cheyenne County on Colorado’s eastern plains. She is also the director of nursing at Keefe Memorial Hospital in Cheyenne Wells, just 18 miles from the Kansas border.

Fewer people, higher risk

I-News examined 10 years of traffic fatality data, compiled by the Colorado Department of Transportation, and then compared it with the average population in each county over a decade — calculating a rate equal to the number of deaths per 10,000 residents in road crashes. The five counties with the highest rate of traffic fatalities — Mineral, Cheyenne, San Juan, Kiowa and Baca — are all small, remote counties, and four of them lost population in the first decade of the 21st century. Two of them are among the three Colorado counties with fewer than 1,000 residents. On the flip side, the five counties with the lowest rate of traffic deaths — Arapahoe, Boulder, Jefferson, Douglas and Denver — are in the highly populated Denver metro area. A new report by the National Highway

Volunteer firefighter and paramedic Matt Araki leads his horses “Cat” and “Cash” to the arena at Aspen Park’s Squair Deal Riding Center as he waits for an emergency call Aug. 26. About 50 firefighters make up the all-volunteer Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District that averages one call per day in this 55-square-mile section of mountainous and heavily forested land in Jefferson County. Photo by I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS Traffic Safety Administration found that 55 percent of those who died in road crashes in 2011 lost their lives in rural areas, while only 19 percent of the population lived in rural areas. In Colorado, 51 percent of those who died in 2011 crashes perished on rural roads, according to the same report. Part of this disparity is the result of geography. Part is the result of philosophy — emergency care is concentrated where the most people live. And part is an outgrowth of Colorado’s long history of “local control” — where local officials figure out how best to care for those who suffer life-threatening traumatic injuries. Also, many rural areas are served by volunteers whose dedication is not in question but whose training and experience may pale compared to their urban counterparts.

Response time is crucial

“If you live in urban Colorado, the response is quick,” said Randy Kuykendall, interim director of the state’s emergency medical system. “If you live in rural Colo-

rado, it’s longer, and it’s a day-to-day struggle.” Kuykendall acknowledged that no one from the state has tried to determine exactly which areas fall into an emergency ambulance no-man’s-land — places where there is no contracted ambulance service. As it stands now, neighboring agencies respond into those areas. But none of that matters when you’re injured. Minutes matter. “The `Golden Hour’ is a real thing,” said Dr. Gregory Jurkovich, chief of surgery at Denver Health Medical Center. “The concept is valid — you have a limited amount of time before you’ve lost your opportunity to save someone’s life.” Get hit head-on Denver’s Federal Boulevard, and you can expect that an ambulance operated by Denver Health will arrive in a matter of minutes, two highly trained paramedics on board. Get hit head-on in Poudre Canyon west of Fort Collins, and it’s likely to be a very different experience. First, you have to find a phone in an area with no cell service, said Bill Sears, presi-

dent of the board of the Poudre Canyon Fire Protection District. “In the lower part of the canyon, a couple of our volunteers work close, in the western part of Fort Collins, and they’re close enough that they can respond into the lower canyon in about — worst case is about half an hour,” Sears said. “If you’re bleeding to death, of course, that’s no consolation. But that’s the reality of being out in the boondocks.” The backbone of Colorado’s on-theground emergency medical system is a patchwork of ambulances operated by more than 225 individual organizations — cities, hospitals, ambulance districts, fire districts, private companies — and the emergency medical technicians and paramedics who staff them.

Training levels differ sharply

Colorado is one of two states — California is the other — that leave it to counties to license ambulance providers. And while EMS continues on Page 16

16 The Independent

September 12, 2013

Ems Continued from Page 15

the work of all those different organizations is coordinated by the state through 11 regional councils, there is no statewide oversight of such benchmarks as mandated response times. Those seriously or critically injured are treated at a system of designated trauma centers, from Level 1, where the most grievously hurt are taken, to Level 5. But in one part of the system after another, there are dramatic differences between the available care in urban and rural areas. All three of the state’s existing Level 1 trauma centers are in the Denver area — Denver Health Medical Center, Swedish Medical Center and St. Anthony Hospital. And in much of rural Colorado, the wounded are likely to be treated by volunteer emergency medical technicians, who have to leave homes or jobs, respond to the garage where the ambulance is parked, and then speed to an accident scene. Those EMTs — while highly dedicated — may initially have as little as 150 to 200 hours of training. Paramedics — such as those who staff all of the Denver Health emergency ambulances — have at least 1,500 hours of training. Privately operated medical helicopters exist, but they are largely clustered along the Front Range — and often they aren’t called until initial responders have gotten to a scene and assessed the injured. One area where the playing field has been leveled in recent years is equipment. Thanks to a $2 charge on each motor vehicle registration, the state has about $7.5 million a year to assist local jurisdictions as they need to update their equipment

and train their members.

No requirement for service At the same time, there is nothing in Colorado law that obligates anyone to provide emergency medical services. “We provide advanced life support ambulance service,” said Tim Rossette, deputy chief of the Kiowa Fire Protection District in Elbert County, “but if my board decides to stop providing that service, they can do that and there’s

nobody that’s required to come in and fill that void.” The dwindling population in many rural counties makes it more difficult for local organizations to raise money from a shrinking tax base or find volunteers willing to give up hours at a time for no pay. Dramatically changing Colorado’s system would probably require a major infusion of money — most likely through taxes or fees or a combination of the two. One state that has built such a system is Maryland. Motorists

there pay $14.50 a year in vehicle registration fees that are dedicated to the state’s emergency medical system. The fee generates roughly $55 million a year, and it funds a fleet of seven medical helicopters based around the state and operated by the state police. All operating expenses are covered by the vehicle registration fees, which also support the state’s EMS certification system and pay for a statewide medical communi-

cations system. According to the same federal report, 35 percent of those who died in auto crashes in Maryland in 2011 were on rural roads. But even people in the Colorado system question whether there’s value in dramatically increasing funding in rural areas for a relatively small number of calls. In southwestern Colorado’s Hinsdale County — where the Continental Divide crosses twice — EMS director Jerry Gray said people simply have to accept that emergency response in rural Colorado is very different from that in urban Colorado. “The reality of the situation is that up on Stony Pass you’re never going to get a response like you will in downtown Denver,” Gray said. “It’s just the nature of the beast, and people need to realize when they’re headed out into the area. People come here for the solitude and the remoteness of it, and that brings with it delayed response times.” Kuykendall, the acting state EMS chief, said that while little can be done to change geography, one thing that can change is the way people think about ambulances. Historically, ambulance services are paid when they transport a patient. Kuykendall said he’d like to see EMS funded the way police and fire protection are, “because what you’re really paying for with an ambulance or a fire truck is you’re paying for it to be ready to go when the public needs it, as opposed to only paying for it when it actually is in use.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS.

Buses full of children enjoyed a break from school and took their learning outside for the first two days of the Sept. 5-7 Highlands Ranch Days, while day three provided an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the days that were. Mile Hi Pow Wow dancers, HawkQuest, trappers, beekeepers and blacksmiths gave the youngsters lessons they will remember for years while kids took hayrides, got on the backs of horses and spent time in the petting zoo as well.

Actor burns bright as ghostly tiger War in Iraq inspired haunting production By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Lights go up with a call to prayer echoing through the theater … Chaos reigned in Baghdad after the invasion of Iraq, and one sad story that emerged was about the starving animals at the zoo there. “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo” is playwright Rajiv Joseph’s launch from that news into a challenging theater piece that raises many philosophical questions. It is presented in a regional premiere at The Edge Theatre in Lakewood through Sept. 29. While the New York production reportedly cost $3 million to stage, resourceful director Richard Cowden, scenic designer Price Johnston and lighting designer Andy Killion have crafted a finely paced, gripping production in the small Edge space with minimal props and abundant imagination — and a top-notch cast. First alive and pacing in a cage, veteran actor Paul Page haunts the stage as the ghostly, conflicted tiger, who has wonderful lines as he ponders the meaning of it all. “Tigers are atheists,” he declares, wondering who would create a beast of prey,

Bob Brenner, the “Extreme Weight Loss” record breaker on the hit ABC television series, was so transformed by his experience on the show that he has announced plans to become a certified life coach to help others realize weight loss success. To achieve his life coach certification, Brenner is partnering with the Coloradobased school Coach Training Alliance to become a credentialed coach. He is expected to earn his life coach certification in November. During his yearlong journey on “Extreme Weight Loss” season three (season four is being filmed at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora), Brenner lost a record 253 pounds — or 56 percent of his body weight — through a commitment to healthy eating, regular exercise and mental perseverance. His next extreme transformation is a total career makeover — going from Milwaukee undercover cop to national life coach. Brenner also remains good friends with “Extreme Weight Loss” host Chris Powell. Both guys were in Denver the first weekend in September.

If you go “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo” by Rajiv Joseph plays through Sept. 29 at The Edge Theatre, 560 Teller St., Suite 200, Lakewood. Performances: 8 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 6 p.m. Sundays. *Note that Sept. 13 is sold out and there is no show on Sept. 15. An industry night is added on Sept. 16.

The younger, Kev (Kevin Lowry), is trigger-happy and brash, while the other, Tom (Nathan Bock), feels compassion for the hungry beast. He brags about having stolen Uday Hussein’s golden gun and toilet seat when his unit looted the palace. He tries to feed the tiger and loses his hand, leading Kev to shoot the animal. Tiger’s ghost haunts him henceforth, driving him mad. Sam Gilstrap plays the interpreter Musa, Hussein’s artistic gardener who created a cluster of topiary animals, which the audience is led to imagine. Also cast: Yasmin Sweets and Miranda Vargas, who play several Iraqi women, and Alberto Ocampo, who is the cocky ghost of Uday Hussein in a chilling portrayal. This extremely well-written script was

Colorado is fast encroaching on Silicon Valley’s crown as the king of incubators for tech startup companies, according to entrepreneur.com (www. entrepreneur.com/article/227829). According to the story posted Aug. 14, “Four of the top 10 metro regions in the U.S. with the most tech startups are in Colorado: Boulder, Fort CollinsLoveland, Denver and Colorado Springs. That’s according to a report released (recently) by technology policy coalition engine and entrepreneurship research association the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.” The research defines high-tech startups as “new businesses with a concentration of employees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.” Here’s how Colorado cities stacked up: 1.

Western historian wins Six Shooter Award

Continued from Page 17

In his Arapahoe Community College classrooms, Jeff Broome teaches philosophy, but outside of those walls, he focuses many hours on scholarship in Western history. He writes articles and books and speaks about his area of expertise, the Indian Wars and the period in which they occurred. He recently won The Six Shooter Award from the Wild West History Association for “the best general history article in 2012,” an article in Wild West Magazine entitled “Wild Bill’s Brawl with Two of Custer’s Troops.” It’s about Wild Bill Hickok in Hays, Kan., in 1870, when Hickok was attacked by two soldiers in a bar, Tommy Drum’s Saloon. In late November, Broome’s latest volume, “Cheyenne War: Indian Raids on the Roads to Denver” will be published by the Logan County Historical Society in Sterling and Aberdeen Books in Englewood.

Screw Tooth troupe gets around ‘Some Kind of Fun’ is 360-degree show

If you go “Some Kind of Fun” plays through Sept. 14 at Buntport Theater, 717 Lipan St., Denver. Performances are at 8 p.m. Tickets, $15, limited seating, screwtooth.com or 720-946-1388.

The flexible space in Buntport Theater’s warehouse venue is totally reversed, with a cluster of stools and benches in the center and a busy, quirky set surrounding 360 degrees. Music is playing and a man and young girl are drawing on a wall with chalk in one corner as the audience filters in. Screw Tooth is a new theater-based phy company which is sharing quirky Buntport about Theater’s space this season, with plans to alternate original productions through the year. Artistic Director Adam Stone, who has collaborated on music and special effects for four previous Buntport productions, writes of “exploring a mind against itself; creating, becoming, destroying, rebuilding, composing, consuming, childishly tormenting, reeling, reveling, dreaming and seeing … It’s a wild visual and sonic world full of horror, humor and humanity. “Part theater, part dance, part installation, part question mark.” “Some Kind of Fun” will provide a window into what to expect of Buntport’s new

Adderly White Bigelow performs in a high corner of the theater, constantly changing wigs and style, as part of “Some Kind of Fun” at Buntport Theater. Courtesy photo by William Starr resident company.” Concept, direction and design are by Stone and Laura Ann Samuelson, and the cast co-created the production with Stone, while writing is by Stone and Erin Rollman of Buntport Theater Company. Several parallel stories carry through

the 2½-hour piece, which keeps moving all around the audience, all at once, augmented by video, sound effects and music. Around them, we have a frustrated writer who wants to record the scene, but his characters are unruly and he can’t control the story.

Veteran actors Edie Weiss and Chris Kendall mostly stay within a maze he gradually builds. In a corner, a golden goddess and associates suddenly appear in one of many instances of satire. In a diagonal corner, high above the action, a Barbie-like model continually changes wigs and makeup. Stock characters — like a mother and baby, pair of girls, older wheezing woman, muscle-bound narcissistic guy, family group and more — live and, at times, suffer. Enter the theater space without preconceptions and let it all roll around you. Too long, but fascinating to watch these creative minds at work. I walked out thinking about the famous 16th-century painting, “Garden of Earthly Delights” by the Dutch artist Hieronymous Bosch, which depicts a swirl of folks and mystical critters in Heaven and Hell. I was lucky enough to visit it at the Prado in Madrid last year after an introduction years ago in college art history lectures. Unsettling — yet wondrous.

received a BFA and MFA there and now lives in Parker. He teaches at the Art Students League and shows his work in group and solo shows. Ikeda is represented in Denver by the prestigious William Havu Gallery, which worked with Lone Tree’s recently appointed curator Sally L. Perisho to curate this exhibit. A blending of East and West is found is Ikeda’s paintings, which are linked with classic Abstract Expressionism and show little evidence of traditional Japanese art forms.

He has said: “My line to me is very Oriental and the way I compose forms is Oriental too.” A viewer can look forward to finding meaning in form and color and interpreting as he or she wishes. In his artist statement, Ikeda writes that “the thickly painted surface is reminiscent of my journey into the heart of the sea where all my reflections of life are imbued …. At a certain point in this process, the painting takes over my control. The painting is transformed to the state of unknown ….” The painting speaks to him and leads him to a conclusion. The Lone Tree Arts Commission supports professional and emerging artists by providing a venue to display their work in a public setting. With a rolling deadline, artists submit art to be considered and reviewed yearround. Commissioners look for “a meaningful body of work with an educational and informative component.”

Rangell set for jazz show at Lone Tree Local musician organizes group of top-notch players By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The 2013-2014 season starts at 8 p.m. Sept. 20 for the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra. The group was organized last season by saxophonist Art Bouton, a Lone Tree resident, to bring 16 top area jazz musicians to the then-new Lone Tree Arts Center. Enthusiastically received by area jazz fans in the 2012 season, the CJRO will appear four times this year. “Everything Old is New Again” is the theme of the first concert, described at “big band funk, booty-shakin’ music,” featuring saxophonist Nelson Rangell. He will perform as part of the CJRO and then be featured with his own Nelson Rangell Quartet. The band will trace the origins of the music, beginning with Duke Ellington’s “Rockin’ in Rhythm” and “Harlem Nocturne,” followed by sounds of the 1960s and 1970s and arriving at the smooth jazz pop of Rangell.

The 16 piece Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra will start its new season at Lone Tree Arts Center on Sept. 20. Courtesy photo Rangell, who started playing in the Denver area in the 1980s, is internationally recognized. The Times of London wrote that he is “an artist of depth, a master of song and an

improviser nonpareil … with extraordinary facility on a range of instruments ….” He will play soprano, alto and tenor saxophone, flute and perhaps piccolo. Talented band members, who perform

Lions roar past patriots 44-13 Littleton breaks game open with 23 points in second quarter By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton’s football team gave fans plenty to cheer about as the Lions rolled to a 44-13 win over George Washington. The victory raised the Littleton nonleague record to 2-1 as the team prepares to open the 4A Plains League season against Wheat Ridge at 4 p.m. Sept. 13 at Jefferson County Stadium, located at West Sixth Avenue and South Wadsworth Boulevard. The Farmers bring a 1-1 record into the Sept. 13 contest and will be looking for a victory after the 45-18 loss to Monarch on Sept. 6. “We are getting better every day,” Littleton coach Kurt Krantz said after the win over George Washington. “The kids played well today. On defense, we are being aggressive, and on offense we are mixing it up and trying to get better. Today, all the kids did what we asked them to do and we got the win.” In the opening quarter, Littleton and GW exchanged punts and, as a result, the Lions got the ball on their own 20. The Lions put together a drive and scored on a well-thrown pass by quarterback Nick McNamee to Tre Blake. The extra point was good to make the score 7-0. Midway through the second quarter, McNamee and Blake hooked up again for an aerial TD and the extra point made it 14-0 The Lions got two more points just over a minute later when George Washington gave up a safety when the Patriots were called for holding in their end zone. The free kick didn’t go well and Littleton took over on the GW 31. The Lions scored on a run by sophomore Noah McGhee and

the extra point kick made it 23-0. The Lions scored again late in the second quarter when Austin Sonju bulled over from the 1-yard line. The extra point was good and the score was 30-0 at halftime. Three minutes into the third quarter, Littleton got the ball on the GW 22. A few plays later McNamee passed to Austin Bieber for the TD and T.R. Mitchell kicked

another extra point to make the score 37-0. George Washington fans got to cheer as, on the kickoff, a Patriot gathered in the ball and raced 76 yards for a touchdown and the extra-point kick was good. Littleton answered with another touchdown early in the final period when Sonju carried the ball into the end zone. Mitchell split the uprights and the score was 44-6. George Washington got a final touch-

down on a pass play but the extra point was blocked so the final score was 44-13. Quarterback McNamee said the game was huge for the Lions. “At this time last year, we were 0-3, now we are 2-1, so our confidence is over the roof,” the senior said. “Our coaches mix up the formations and the plays and my job is to execute what is called. The guys up front have been doing a great job this season and I feel good about our team as we go into league play.” Unlike some past Littleton teams that went with separate lineups on offense and defense, Coach Krantz has some athletes like McNamee playing on both sides of the ball. “I play defensive back as well as quarterback,” he said. “It is fun to do that, but on a hot day like today, it was pretty tiring.” Teammate Noah McGhee agreed the game against George Washington was a great day. “I have always been a running back and today the line stepped up, created the openings and I gained quite a bit of yardage,” the sophomore said. “I play defensive back too, but I like offense the best because I like to get the ball and score touchdowns.” He said the attitude on this year’s team is a lot different. He said the Lions were 2-8 last year and no one was happy playing football. “This year is a lot different,” McGhee said. “All the guys on the team are excited about the season, and the excitement is really high today because this is the biggest win in a long time for Littleton and a great way to start the season.” Krantz said the game put a smile on his face. “I am a new coach and this is a new team with only seven or eight kids who played varsity last year,” he said. “Today, we built a lead so we were able to give some of the younger kids a chance to play. We had about 50 kids in uniform today and every one of then got into the game. That makes it a good day for everyone.”

Utah team hands Valor Christian a loss By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Valor Christian junior defensive back Brian Dawkins Jr. admitted he was angry for a while until he examined the bigger picture. The Eagles, Colorado’s top-ranked Class 5A football team, lost 24-21 in overtime to Bingham, a team from South Jordan, Utah, in a game played Sept. 7 at Valor Christian. “I was mad at first then I remembered everything happens for a reason,” said Dawkins. “This was a learning lesson for our team. We’re going to use this game to let us not have this feeling again. We want to dominate the rest of this season.” Valor, which has won four consecutive

Colorado state championships and is the defending Class 5A titlist, should be favored in its next seven regular season games against Colorado opposition. “It’s all about trying to get some challenges, facing adversity and seeing how we respond,” said Valor coach Rod Sherman. Last season, the Eagles lost to Bingham, 21-20, in Utah. Both teams made potential gamechanging plays, but the two biggest came in overtime. Valor had the ball first with four chances to score from the 10-yard line. Eagles running back Christian McCaffrey gained seven yards on second down to put the ball at the 3-yard line. However, holding was called on Valor, which nullified the run and moved

the ball back to the 21-yard line. Quarterback A.J. Cecil gained 10 yards, but he was sacked on third down and fumbled. McCaffrey picked up the loose ball and tried the scramble, but the play wound up losing 28 yards. Paul Grizzle’s 56-yard field goal attempt was wide and short. Bingham didn’t waste time, and on first down Chayden Johnston drilled a 27-yard field goal to give the Miners the victory. The holding call and Johnston’s field goal were big plays that decided the televised contest that had many plays that swung the momentum. Valor’s Ben Waters blocked a Miners punt and Marcus Wilson recovered in the end zone to give the Eagles a 7-0 lead.

Eric Lee Jr. intercepted a Bingham pass at the Valor 2-yard line to thwart a drive, and then McCaffrey, who rushed for 245 yards on 27 carries, broke two tackles and raced 98 yards for a touchdown to help stake the Eagles to a 14-0 lead. With the score tied at 14 late in the third period, Valor took over on downs at their own 1-yard line after a goal line stand, but McCaffrey fumbled and Bingham’s Nick Heninger recovered in the end zone to give the visitors a 21-14 lead. Valor tied the game on a 5-yard scoring pass from Cecil to McCaffrey and had a chance to win when Dawkins intercepted a pass at the Eagles’ 20 and returned it to the 48-yard line with 40 seconds left in regulation.

sArapahoe volleyball defeats Chaparral

ss at and yards aced e the

3-0 victory means Warriors remain undefeated in 6 contests

thirdBy Jim Benton theirjbenton@ourcolorado , butnews.com Nick give Grace Marlowe had a big smile on her face, disscor-played a few dance moves had aand seemed to be having a ted alot of fun. o the Marlowe, a senior setter, gula-was playing volleyball for her Arapahoe High School team in a match Sept. 4 at Chaparral High School The Warriors defeated the Wolverines, 3-0, with 25-19, 25-22 and 25-20 set victories to remain unbeaten with a 6-0 record. “Oh my gosh, this is fun,” said Marlowe. “This is my senior year and I can’t think of 11 other girls I would rather be out there with. We are an amazing team. Our chemistry is fantastic. “We’re all great friends, we all hang out together and that’s a huge component. I’ve never felt this way with another team. We have such a good time on and off the court. We’re all just really weird. We are all very odd. We have team crocs

that we wear. We have all really bonded. I dance all the time. We have Friday dance parties.” After winning the Regis Jam tournament and being unbeaten certainly adds to the fun rather than being on an 0-6 team. “I think on some level we would still be having fun,” said Marlowe. “Obviously everyone likes to win but at the same time I feel when we are playing our best and demanding the best of ourselves we would be okay. It’s fantastic the way we are working so hard.” Arapahoe beat Chaparral Aug. 31 in the Regis tournament and came back two days later to beat the Wolverines again. And, Chaparral isn’t a team that is on the schedule to boost the win total. The Wolverines have developed into a perennial state contender with a 10813 record with two Class 5A state championships and a semifinal appearance over the past four seasons. “We feel real good,” said Arapahoe coach Sara Syers. “To beat Chaparral any-

time is a big win for us because they are such a strong team and to have to beat them two times in a week made me nervous. I was pretty impressed with our girls. They (Chaparral) are a strong serving team. We were able to fight off their service attack pretty well most of the game. And when we do we have a lot of offensive weapons. “Our depth is really our strength. I’ve got 12 players that I feel real comfortable putting in at any time. So if something isn’t going right, we make a change. We have a lot of options.” Whitney Krantz and Marlowe were cited by Syers for their play against the Wolverines. Krantz, a 6-foot senior outside hitter, didn’t display her usual crushing blow kills but put away plenty of slams and soft touch winners. She finished with 11 kills and senior Tess Albyn had eight kills. A couple times Marlowe raced close to the stands to keep play alive. She wound up with 33 assists, six digs and three kills. Chaparral saw its record dip to 2-4 but coach T.R. Ellis says her team will con-

tinue to improve. “That Arapahoe team is very, very good,” admitted Ellis. “We battled with them. We just have to do a better job of controlling the ball. We passed okay but we just have to pass better so we can control on our side so we don’t get ourselves in a hole. We need to serve strong and serve smart. “I’m encouraged with the level that we played with against Arapahoe. Absolutely, I can see progress. When we played them at the tournament, they beat us handily. We played much better and battled with them. If we play them again, we’ll be even better.” Ellis pointed out that Grandview started the season a year ago with a 0-3 record but played in the state championship match. She hopes her team can be a contender by the end of this season. Chaparral lost to Fossil Ridge 3-0 on Sept. 6 to see its record dip to 2-5 this season. Arapahoe, led by Allison Smith’s 22 kills and 17 digs, remained unbeaten with a 3-2 win over Ponderosa on Sept. 6. Marlowe had five kills and 11 digs in the win.

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com ThunderRidge bats spoke quickly and often as the Grizzlies scored six runs in the first inning and went on to best Arapahoe 12-2 in the Sept. 6 nonleague contest. “Our team does have the tendency to swing the bat well, but we were held in check with only six hits in the last two games. Today was a breakout game for us and we scored some runs,” Grizzlies coach Jim Dollaghan said after the game. “The win means we are 5-4 in a non-league schedule against good teams, and I feel this will propel us as we start the league season next week.” The Grizzlies opened the league season Sept. 9 at Ponderosa and continue the league campaign Sept. 13 at home against Castle View. The Castle View game is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. on the field at ThunderRidge High School. Arapahoe coach Jeannie Krueger said she was surprised ThunderRidge got 17 hits off her freshman pitcher. “Even though our pitcher throws well, they got some solid hits. Of course, if we had not made four errors in the first inning, they would have gotten just one run and it would have been a different game,” the coach said. “We played well last week but I thought we were a bit flat today. But we are still 2-2 in league and still looking to move up in the standings.” The Warriors continued league play Sept. 10 against Eaglecrest and Sept 12 against Cherry Creek. Both games were scheduled on the softball field at DeKoevend Park. Arapahoe is on the road Sept. 17 at Cherokee Trail. On Sept. 6, Arapahoe was the home team and Ashlynn Krueger was on the mound for the Warriors. ThunderRidge opened the game with back-toback doubles and eventually scored six runs in the first inning. In the bottom of the inning, sophomore Madison Whitefoot was the Grizzlies starting pitcher. She went four innings, gave up five hits and two

Her sister, senior Molly Whitefoot, helped provide run support as she went four-for-five and drove in three runs. ThunderRidge collected a total of 17 hits by 10 of the Grizzlies players. Gabriella Smith was two for five with a pair of doubles and one RBI. Smith, who plays shortstop and left field, said she had a good game, but the game wasn’t about her because it was more important to see the way the team came together to play one of its best games of the young season. “I wasn’t surprised we hit the ball as well off a pretty good pitcher,” she said. “As a team, we feel we need to prove we deserve to be out here, no matter the competition we are up against.” She described the win as a “button pusher.” “We came into the game 4-4 and we felt this would determine the attitude we would have going into the league season,” Smith said. “We played well, it was a good game and a good way to go into the league season.” Dollaghan said the Grizzlies are a junior-dominated team. “We have one senior starter and

two other seniors who are first-line reserves,” he said. “The players who aren’t starting know their roles, so we always try to get as many players in the game as possible. We have players who know they may only called to pinch-hit one time or go into the game as a replacement for an inning. But they do their jobs and help us try to win games.” The Arapahoe coach said she isn’t making excuses, but the Warriors are a very young team. “We have three freshman and five sophomores on our roster,” Krueger said after the game. “Freshman Ashlynn Krueger is our only healthy pitcher. Our other pitcher is on crutches. The young players do well at times and other times, not so well, because so many of our kids are still learning and adjusting to the pace and intensity of varsity softball.” She said she feels the team needs to be more focused and intense as the Warriors play the upcoming important key league games. “We have a lot of potential, I expect our team will keep getting better and, if all the girls come back, we should be a very good team next season,” the coach said.
