Rotary helps kids look it up Club puts reference book in every desk at school By Jennifer Smith

‘It makes their writing so much better. It encourages them to think more and make better word choices.’

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton Rotary is on a mission to prevent hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia among students at Centennial Academy. No, it’s not their latest health cause like Shots for Tots or Project CURE. Neither is it a service project to help lonely hippopotamuses (or hippopotami, if you prefer). It’s the fear of long words, and Rotary is battling it with free dictionaries and thesauruses (or thesauri). “They’ve really been just so helpful in getting the materials we need,” said

Teacher Stacey Helbig teacher Stacey Helbig. “It makes their writing so much better. It encourages them to think more and make better word choices.” Rotarians Darlee Whiting and Dale Flowers visited the school Sept. 26 to deliver the books, but neither is a stranger to the school. Whiting, the Littleton club’s first female president, taught there before she retired. It’s where she started Rotary’s I Can Read program, pairing members

with students for one-on-one reading time. “I saw this sea of people out there, and I thought, ‘We need to get them involved in this school,’” she said. “It’s great that there are these positive male figures, gentle, intelligent and caring, who come in and work with some of these kids.” Flowers recalled his first little reader, a timid little girl who got picked on a lot.

Trailmark resident runs for city council Dean wants more inclusion for his neighborhood By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Trailmark resident James Dean is taking on two incumbents and another challenger for the two at-large Littleton City Council seats up for grabs. “I feel very disconnected and abandoned by the city,” he said in an email to the Littleton Independent. “Living in Trailmark, we have waited 10-plus years to get a promised emergency response center located near us.” POSTAL ADDRESS

Dean is far from a rebel without a cause. “I have felt somewhat frustrated by what I have seen on the local and national levels of government,” he said, citing partisanship and stalled legislation as examples. He’d like to make Littleton friendlier to business by lowering taxes — he’s opposed to Dean the lodging tax that will be on the ballot in November — and offering certain incentives to bring jobs and revenue.

“I’d help all citizens feel a sense of belonging and of responsibility, not exclusion because of where you live or what you look like,” he said. Dean has a master’s degree in communications and broadcast journalism from Brigham Young University, and he worked as a television sports anchor in Wisconsin from 1999 until 2002. Since then, he’s worked in the medical sales industry. Today he owns Colorado Care Rehab Inc., which sells orthopedic medical devices. He and his wife, Mindy, have lived in Littleton since June 2003.

A shift in how Littleton Public Schools teaches kids who are learning English is going smoothly, say administrators. Rather than pulling students out of regular classrooms to focus on language acquisition, LPS is piloting co-teaching at two of its schools. Under that model at Field Elementary and Goddard Middle School, a second teacher comes into a classroom to work on English acquisition. “With our old pull-out model, students were spending lots of time in transition,” said Andrea Scott, an English-language acquisition teacher at Field. “They were leaving during tier-one instruction, not finishing the tasks in the classroom and then coming back into the classroom as lost little lambs, trying to catch up with what they missed. Now instruction feels more seamless. Students are a part of the magic that happens in the classroom.” This year, Field has 45 students who are not proficient in English, 114 with limited proficiency and 20 who are fluent but not quite ready to exit the program. It has five full-time ELA teachers. Across the district, there are 830 English learners who speak about 50 different native languages. There are ELA programs in place at Centennial, East and Field elementaries; Goddard and Newton middle schools; and Littleton High School. Mandy Leensvaart, the district’s ELA specialist, told the board that all incoming students are tested, and those who could benefit are offered spots in those schools. “But some parents really want their child to be in the neighborhood and be in that community, and we support that choice, as well,” she said. There are about 195 of those kids scattered throughout the district, served by two specialists. Leensvaart said the ELA program also has a new emphasis on teaching academic language and requiring proficiency not just in English, but also in the subject being taught. “English-language instruction should not stand alone, but be anchored in content,” she wrote in her memo to the board. She likened it to a little girl in a wheelchair waiting in the snow to get into school while the maintenance worker shovels the steps. If he had shoveled the ramp first, all the kids could get in; instead, he made one wait. “Co-teaching opens the door for our EL students to access the grade-level curriculum,” said Crystal Reid, ELA teacher at Field. “It eliminates the disconnect.”

October 3, 2013

Storyteller helps others reach within He doesn’t remember quite what motivated him to offer a class to senior citizens on how to write your own life story. But then, for Garrett Ray, at 77 no youngster himself, life has been all about stories. The first page of his in-progress book starts this way: “Our stories begin as fragments in an attic trunk, nearly forgotten, then rediscovered, sometimes to our surprise. We pull out bits of fabric, examine the colors, move the scraps around, enjoy each one as a unique link to our past. Then we begin to place them side by side, discovering patterns we had not seen before, rearranging, looking again.” When you think about it, that’s who we are, isn’t it? A jumble of pieces steadily stitched into a narrative that somehow, one day, amazingly and unexpectedly, becomes a good story. You just have to see it. “Everybody … has stories to tell,” says Ray, in his soft and quick-paced voice, “if you can just get them to think that way.” The classes began in 2010 in the Highlands Ranch retirement complex he and his wife of 53 years moved to after a first career as a newspaper reporter and editor and a second one as a journalism professor. He calls this his third act. Offered once or twice a year for five hours over five weeks, the classes average 10 to 15 students. Even though he wrote weekly newspaper columns for more than 20 years, Ray uses Lois Daniel’s book, “How to Write Your Own Life Story,” to help teach his students. “A lot of them think if you’re going to write your life story, you’ve got to start with the first day,” Ray says. But you don’t. You look for the moments. “It might be a happy incident … or a house you lived in,” Ray says. “And that’s

where you ought to start, and guaranteed … you have enough stories to string together to make a pretty impressive package.” That’s what Dottie and John Talbott are doing. The couple, in their 80s, attended one of Ray’s classes last year. John, who can no longer type or write, is in a motorized wheelchair and speaks very softly. So he dictated his stories to Dottie, who typed them on the computer. “We figured out what things to talk about and what things to put in his memoir up to his sophomore year in college,” Dottie says. That’s when they met. “It was great fun,” she says, with a laugh. “I heard a lot of things I didn’t even know about him and we’ve been married for 63 years.” This winter, Dottie plans to write her part, which also will end at sophomore year in college. Then, she and John will compile the rest together. When the story is complete, one of their three daughters will add photographs and print the book. Their children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, Dottie says, “will know who we are.” ••• Ray’s passion for writing started when he was 11 in Greeley, where he grew up. He, his younger brother and sister and a

ing Dad” and “Thanksgiving at Grandma Ray’s.” And “In 2007 I became old.” “I have begun to notice the darkening beauty of our mountain ridge against the last light in the western sky. I wait for the dusk, grateful for the purity, the clarity, the nightly gift. “I dance with Bailey, overflowing with 18 months of toothy grins and joyful rhythms, to ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb.’ “I cry easily, in sadness, in joy, in gratitude, in celebration. “In 2007, I became 71. I forgave myself. I began to wonder what happens next.” Ray calls his in-progress book “Partial Recall” because he doesn’t remember every detail. Just bits and pieces stand out. His life story, he says, is not cohesive. “This is not going to have the nice, smooth flow that a memoir would have. I don’t know if it will work or not. But it doesn’t make any difference if it works or not if I’m happy with it.” In the end, he hopes his grandchildren and their children, whoever reads his words, will think “it was worth their time.” Remember the first page, where Ray describes stories as scraps of fabric that we constantly rearrange and lay side-by-side into stories that matter? Here is the last line to that paragraph: “Before our eyes, a larger scene emerges, full of memories and color. Finally, our patchwork quilts reveal the stories of our lives.” We all have one. We just have to see it. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week. She can be reached at ahealey@ourcoloradonews.com or 303-5664110.

SO MUCH INSIDE THE INDEPENDENT THIS WEEK

CORRECTION The Sept. 19 edition of the Independent gave an incorrect date for the possible election in Columbine Valley regarding the rezoning of the old Willowcroft property. The town board is expected to review the ordinance during its Oct. 15 meeting. The trustees can either repeal it or set a date for a special election sometime in December, January or February.

couple of friends published a weekly newspaper called “The Neighborhood News” for three summers. They wrote about lost dogs and vacation trips and home improvements. He learned a bit about storytelling from his mother, a reporter and editor at The Greeley Tribune. His tenure as editor and publisher at The Littleton Independent from the 1960s to 1981 won him state and national acclaim — he was recently inducted into the Denver Press Club Hall of Fame. And he continued sharing his love for storytelling with students as a professor at Colorado State University until retiring in 2001. When you get it just right, writing is a gift, Ray says: “The human being … the eccentricities of people, the joys of people, the sadness of lives. … Almost anything will shape itself into a story if you can figure out how to start.” He smiles, blue eyes earnest behind his glasses, as he answers a question about the writing of his life story. Working on it, he says. “I’ve got to give myself a deadline — I only respond to deadlines, I think.” But he has a good start. A white utility binder encompasses 70 or so pages, some copies of the “Scratch Pad” columns he wrote for the newspaper, others written more recently. Each carries a simple title. There’s “The house on the corner.” “When we turn the corner by the house, I always hope someone will be standing outside so I can stop and say, ‘I grew up here!’ Here is where my parents planted the iris garden, and here, my grandmother grew roses, feeding them coffee grounds each evening.” And “Playing back the old tapes.” “We carry old tape recordings in our unconscious minds. …” And “Farm boys” and “Understand-

New Willowcroft vote looks likely Activists turn in 210 names when 58 will do By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com In an effort to stall development on the old Willowcroft property, a group of Columbine Valley residents turned in 210 signatures Sept. 18 — five weeks early and with 152 more than the 58 required. “If the petitions meet sufficiency, which I anticipate they will, the board of trustees must then reconsider the rezoning of the property,” said JD McCrumb, town clerk. He is in the process of determining that now. Development company Taylor Morri-

son won the first round in April, when the town’s board of trustees approved its plan to demolish the former Willowcroft Manor & Farm, 3600 W. Bowles Ave., to make way for 41 single-story patio homes and one large estate home. The company silenced a long and vocal controversy about preserving the historic building by tearing it down shortly thereafter. But that didn’t quell concerns about the density of the project, so Brian Macaulay launched an effort to force the matter to a vote of the public. The town’s master plan technically limits maximum density to 2.4 units per acre, less than the 2.95 that Taylor Morrison proposes. “The residents are sending a message to the trustees that they want the trustees to respect the master plan, which lays out a

vision for the town’s future,” he says. “The clear standard in the master plan is for all new developments to beautify and enhance the town, and to maintain the open feel that is unique to Columbine Valley. This highdensity development does not accomplish these goals.” McCrumb expects the board to review the ordinance during its Oct. 15 meeting. The trustees can either repeal it, sending the developer back to the drawing board, or let the town’s voters have the final say by setting a date for a special election sometime in December, January or February. “It is my hope that we can get this done as quickly as possible, and hold the election before the end of this year,” said McCrumb. That might be because next year will have its own battle. The 106-acre Tuck

property is being scoped out by developers, and McCrumb expects a proposal to be on the table sometime next year. Macauley worries the Willowcroft project could set a trend. “My message to the residents of Columbine Valley regarding what the trustees have approved is that actions speak louder than words,” he said. “If they acted in this way on this project, when it clearly runs counter to the guidelines of the master plan, what reason is there to think that they will not do the same for every other future development in our town, such as (the Tuck farm)? The residents need to send a clear message to the trustees that this will not be allowed. The trustees must respect the long-term vision of our town.”

y Taylor looks back on years of service

Term-limited councilor proj-also ponders future

pers, be on

lum-By Jennifer Smith havejsmith@ourcoloradonews.com than As Jim Taylor approaches the end of his oject,time on Littleton City Council, he’s reflectuide-ing on 45 years of public service. on is “There’s been a lot of success in my life, sameand a few disappointments,” he said. “Mayn ourbe there still some out there. … It’s been a resi-privilege to represent the city on so many o thelevels, the city, at the state and nationally. TheAnd I don’t want to be egotistical, but I think isionthat anybody I’ve served with in whatever capacity would tell you that I come to meetings very well prepared. I read everything, and generally I’m not afraid to speak out. I have thoroughly enjoyed what I do, and I tell people that all the time.” Taylor’s resume is longer than a child’s wish list at Christmas. He was first elected as the city of Northglenn’s treasurer in 1969. Two years later he was running for the city council there against an incumbent. A lot of people thought he would lose that race so wrote his name in as a candidate for treasurer; he won both. That spurred state legislation that prohibited anyone from serving in two elected positions at the same time, but he got to serve two years in both seats. After he and his wife, Ginny, moved to Littleton, he was elected to council first in 1977. He’s served either there or on the South Suburban Parks and Recreation board of directors, also an elected office, pretty much ever since. At the state and national level he’s held many positions on the National League of Cities, the Colorado Municipal League and the Denver Regional Council of Governments. Locally, he’s served on the Littleton Housing Authority, Arapahoe County Early Childhood Council, Riverfront Urban Renewal Authority, Friends of the Library/Museum, Littleton/ Bega Sister City Exchange, Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants and many more.

Jim Taylor, whose term on Littleton City Council is nearing an end, has a park named after him at Meade Street and Belleview Avenue. Photo by Jennifer Smith Taylor, who retired as a principal in the Sheridan School District, has come a long way from his humble beginnings. “I came from a very small, one-room school in Texas, and Texas had a law that you had to have 21 students to have a school district,” he remembers. “We dropped below that, and we had to consolidate with another town. I rode 20 miles on the bus. I graduated from high school one of nine students, and eight of them were girls.”

were limited, so he wound up with a teaching certificate. But first came love. “I met my wife, Ginny, on a blind date,” he said. “Our friends introduced us on Valentine’s Day in 1963. … Five weeks later we decided to get married, but we didn’t get married until the end of July. I won a National Science Foundation scholarship to study advanced math in Oklahoma for five months. … I knew after the second date. It’s just one of those things. I knew she was the right person for me.” They were married 37 years and had five kids who gave them 10 grandkids. “We insisted on our kids going to Little-

Although Ginny died of cancer in April 2000, his affection for her remains fresh on his face. “She was in in-home hospice, and I stayed home with her 24/7,” he said. “The nurse said, `We’re going to put her in a center, because you need some rest.’ I said, `I won’t do that.’” Taylor credits his success at least in part to that same dedication to his job.

Lawyers, officials tackle civil-court aid for poor C

Litigants face tough task in non-criminal cases By Jennifer Smith

De $2, Ste

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com At one time, Maria Nunez was a single mom struggling alone to reach a settlement with her ex. Today, she’s a confident personal trainer with fair child support and visitation agreements. Nunez credits help she got from Metro Volunteer Lawyers. “I felt that I was in the middle of a big support group,” she says in a video shown to elected officials and others from throughout the 18th Judicial District during the Access to Justice Hearing, held Sept. 24 at the Arapahoe County Justice Center. “It was nice to see how that helped Maria grow,” attorney Steve Cook says in the video. When someone facing criminal charges shows up in court without an attorney, the judge can appoint a public defender at taxpayer expense. But there is no such provision in civil cases like divorce, probate and custody battles — situations that people who can’t afford an attorney commonly face. “I was drowning in debt, as everyone was at the time,” said Patricia Crowe, who saved her house from foreclosure with help an attorney from Colorado Legal Services. “He was very good and very thorough, and he was with me through the whole deal.” Hobbs presented data indicating there are 85,000 people living in poverty in the 18th Judicial District, a number that is projected to grow by 45 percent before the year 2040. In 2012, more than 82,000 civil cases were filed in the district, mostly in county court. There are efforts throughout the district to provide help for people facing civil battles, whether they are defending themselves or filing a claim. For example, Douglas and Arapahoe counties both have “pro se clinics” to guide people representing themselves through the court system. “I compare it to changing an oil filter,” said David Rolfe of the

American Bar Association estimates only 20 percent of the legal needs of the poor are met,” said Jonathan Asher of CLS. “We, in fact, turn away one person for every person we help.” Part of the money comes from fees tacked on to filing charges, which some consider controversial. “There is a real philosophical debate around funding our judicial system and access to it byBy J charging the participants in thejsmi system,” said state Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver. “At some point, Th you can start to price it out ofLittle reach.” the b Such assistance doesn’t justhave help the poor, notes Colorado Ra Supreme Court Justice Gregory J.term Hobbs.

And the longerowns they languish, the more they costlan R in the way of attorney fees, staffCoun time and other resources, he said. In M “It puts us as judges in a veryhis p difficult position, because we can’tplex go out of our way to offer them le-acres gal advice,” he said. “We can helpretai them along, but we can’t offer “I them a whole lot of guidance.” and Elbert County Commissionertheir Robert Rowland wondered aboutmay the other extreme, asking if a lotsaid of pro se cases are frivolous andman clogging up the courts unneces-tions sarily. man “I have no doubt that some proexpe se people have meritless cases,”dispu said Asher. “There are some whoful to no reasonable lawyer would takethe fu their case. Some get that message, M and some go ahead and file proin th se.” But, he adds, assistance ser-from vices can help weed those out. camp Dianne Van Voorhees of MVLform noted fundraising in this arenaDem can be more challenging than inform others, such as animal shelters ordirec starving children. Publ “People say, `I love puppies, “I and I love kittens.’ But it’s toughernity’s for our people.

Photo by Jennifer Smith Douglas Pro Se and Mediation Clinic. “If you’ve never changed an oil filter, you’re going to want to get with a buddy and watch it happen first.” There’s also a new self-help center at the Arapahoe County Justice Center that’s seen more than 1,000 people since it opened at the beginning of the year. Its director, Lindsey Adams, said domestic-relations cases make up 76 percent of those she sees. In divorce cases, for example,

people can pick up a packet from the clerk’s office, fill it out and file everything themselves. But they often get stuck. “There’s a real emotional factor,” she said. “Even though it has instructions, it can be overwhelming.” Families facing separation due to deportation can often be waylaid by emotion, as well. Mekela Goehring of the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network explained that undocumented

immigrants have no right to an attorney, no matter their status, nationality or even age. “It simply is an injustice that 5-year-olds are forced to represent themselves,” she said. Organizations like MVL and CLS provide volunteer attorneys to the indigent, but they rely on state and local funding. Representatives from those organizations say the money is unpredictable, insufficient and dwindling. “Despite our best efforts, the

Much of his support comes from MVLformer local officials like Joe Rice, former renaDemocratic state senator; Susan Thornton, an informer mayor; and Karla Langton, former rs ordirector of communications for Littleton Public Schools. pies, “I’m very appreciative of the commughernity’s generous support in a number of eopleways,” Stahlman said. “At-large campaigns lives.inherently require a combination of money, w tomessaging and sweat equity, which I’m sure t thisall the candidates are providing in varying o thedegrees. So to the extent I’ve raised a bit more money, it’s only one ingredient in the recipe.” However, he gave himself $2,227 of that. Subtracting that takes him below challenger John Watson’s $4,670 from 31 individual donations, many of them active with him in the grassroots group Citizens for Rational sses. Development. But $1,800 of it is from his -findbrother, Michael Watson. Table “He knows my lifetime support for busiook,”ness and free markets,” said John Watson of his brother’s support. “Our other supportDani-ers are learning the devotion I have to the ndaycity and to getting the job done. When my p.m.wife and I started this campaign, we had no idea of what was involved in terms of time and effort and the support we would need. We are humbled by the devotion and dona-

tions and work that supporters have given us. Their contributions will never be wasted and our commitments to serve them according to our beliefs will always be honored.” Councilor Bruce Beckman rang in at $2,570 from 32 donors. He has a broad base of support, including fellow Councilor Jerry Valdes, CRD activist and former planningboard president Norm Brown, former Councilor Amy Conklin and Thornton. “Thank you to the members of the community who are willing to help out my campaign financially,” said Beckman. “It is important for me to get my message out that I am the candidate who has lived, worked, raised a family and retired in Littleton and who cares about our economic future, the neighbors and the neighborhoods. Without the ability to use the tools of campaigning, paid for with donations, it is nearly impossible to get that word out.” Latecomer James Dean reported just the $20 he gave himself. “I understand I am a few weeks behind the other candidates because of some family issues and travel to Alaska and Idaho, but I am confident my campaign will show great progress in the next several weeks,” he said. “I have been canvassing neighborhoods and attended an urban development meeting, and I’ve been reviewing council meetings online to better understand what we as a city are up against and how best to approach this election. I am very concerned at what I see, and what the citizens, in many instances, are unknowingly facing. I am serious about my candidacy for Littleton City Council and only entered the race because I felt an obligation to help protect the values of family and community and to make Littleton a better, safer place to raise my children.” Councilor Phil Cernanec is running unopposed to keep his District 3 seat, but still took in $465 above and beyond the $1,000 he gave himself. “As you can imagine, there’s not a lot of pressure,” he said. He put in money to get some T-shirts and an ad in the Littleton Independent’s 125th commemorative edition, and took donations from close family and friends to help with that, he said. Election Day is Nov. 5, but mail-in ballots start going out Oct. 15. There are also two citizen initiatives to be decided, one dealing with open-meetings law and another seeking to change the rezoning process. Additionally, council placed measures on the ballot asking to tax lodging and retail marijuana, although it has yet to decide whether to allow sales of the latter. There is also an initiative that would allow the city to redraw council boundaries every 10 years rather than every four. Littleton voters will also be choosing new Littleton Public Schools board members. Five people have officially declared bids for three seats: Dallas Jones, Kelly Perez, Robert Reichardt, Jack Reutzel and Carrie Warren-Gully. Finally, there is an $80 million bond issue on the ballot for capital improvements to LPS facilities.

‘Fix the Debt’ campaign gaining steam South Metro Chamber taking lead in grassroots movement George Lurie

glurie@ourcoloradonews.com Labeling it a top priority, the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce continues to lead the charge locally to promote the “Fix the Debt” campaign. “I believe this is the most important issue facing the United States right now,” says Rick Whipple, a Littleton CPA and chairman-elect of the chamber. Together with chamber president and CEO John Brackney, Whipple has taken a leading role in urging a bipartisan, grassroots effort to resolve what he describes as “the nation’s ongoing debt crisis.” “The full faith and credit of the United States is at risk, likewise our form of government and way of life,” says Whipple. “I find

it outrageous that the strongest economy on the earth cannot solve this crisis. This is key to our long-term growth and funding our social programs, infrastructure, education, military, foreign policy — you name it. The longer we wait for debt reform, the more likely our future will be determined by our creditors.” Whipple has been actively involved in the Colorado chapter of the Fix the Debt campaign since late 2012 and says it remains one of the chamber’s “highest priorities.” Whipple In July, Whipple traveled to Washington with Brackney to lobby members of Colorado’s congressional delegation on the importance of addressing the debt crisis.

We love letters, but stay within lines In an era in which readers are more likely to post comments at the bottom of an online article or on a blog or on Facebook, we believe there is still a place for the good old-fashioned letter to the editor. Unlike online commenting, letters to the editor must go through something of a vetting process before being published. Largely, this is in order to maintain a measure of civility that, sadly, is often lacking online. On our opinion pages, we aim to provide a forum to stir community conversation. We appreciate diversity of thought and do not pick which letters run or don’t run based on our viewpoint. If you’re wondering why your letter wasn’t printed or are hoping to have one that is, read what follows. These do’s and don’ts will make the process easier for you and our editors. Do: • Your homework. In other words, check your facts. We have a small staff and can’t

our view do this for you. If you’re unsure of something, look it up. If you include a nugget of information that is not widely known, include where you found that fact. • Express your opinion. Tell us what you like or dislike. We particularly appreciate it when you comment on our articles and opinion pieces regarding local issues. But state, national and world issues are also on the table, if they are of relevance to our readers. • Keep it short. Our policy calls for letters of 300 words or fewer. Sure, we try to be a little flexible, and from time to time, you might see a letter a little longer but still in the ballpark. If you must go way over the limit, it won’t run, at least not as a letter to the editor. Consider requesting a guest

letters to the editor Positive changes in littleton

On Sept. 19, Littleton held its second annual economic vitality summit and there is much to be optimistic about in this historically conservative city. Since the initial summit last year, Littleton has rezoned property to allow for the development of the Breckenridge Brewery, the Nevada Place II apartments, Littleton Commons, the mixed-use Littleton Village and the Meadows apartment complex; in the middle of this progress, they unanimously defeated an irresponsible growth moratorium. While I would have preferred to see the Broadstone property approved, these other projects will add new jobs, new people, new retail tax revenue, millions of dollars in impact fees and over time, tens of millions to our school district. Some of these decisions were narrow, 4-3 votes while others were unanimous; in either case, this council has done more to move this city forward in the last year than the previous 10 years combined. Change is difficult but I applaud the will of our elected officials to support progress even in the face of vocal opposition. Let’s make sure we support these council members at the ballot box in November. Finally, a special acknowledgment to council member Jim Taylor, who has served this city well for over a decade but is term-limited and cannot run again. He not only voted in favor of all of these developments, he even supported Broadstone. Again, I applaud the entire Littleton City Council for their leadership and efforts at building a strong, thriving community.

3B deserves voters’ support

As a Colorado native, I’ve been a district resident for 50 years. I attended (LPS) K-12, am a Littleton homeowner and a Littleton employer. I support measure 3B, to refinance our debt to invest in our school buildings. • LPS is a great district, and continued funding to maintain our buildings will help maintain that high achievement: — LPS ranks #1 in overall student achievement in the Denver metro area in reading, writing and math in all grade levels — LPS is the highest performing district in the metro area — Has been Accredited with Distinction (only district in the metro area to receive four times) • It is important for our property values that we invest in our schools, and although LPS is the top school district in the metro area, it’s time to perform much-needed repairs and maintenance. • Because of historically low interest rates, WITH NO TAX INCREASE we can raise $80,000,000 to invest in our schools. • We need to keep schools safe and in

good working order. The useful life of our buildings can be extended, but major upgrades and repairs are necessary. • A YES vote for 3B will ensure that all district-owned facilities, including all 15 elementary schools, all four middle schools and all four high schools will receive repairs and upgrades. • LPS has a history of sound financial management, • A Citizen/Staff Capital Improvement Committee studied district facilities, and the Citizen LPS Financial Advisory Committee recommended that LPS move forward and passed the Board with full support. • A Citizen/Staff Oversight committee will govern how the money is spent. • Some of the funds from this refinance will be used to retrofit classrooms for STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Let’s give our students the tools they need to compete in a global economy. Dan Miller Littleton

help schools with 3B vote

I support Littleton Public Schools’ ballot issue 3B, which would raise $80 million for school repairs. As the executive director for South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, I am keenly aware of the costs to maintain facilities. As facilities get older, it takes more money just to maintain them: Roofs leak, boilers need to be replaced, air conditioning needs to be upgraded; ADA requirements have changed and require alterations to facilities; asphalt parking lots and concrete sidewalks need repairs; etc., etc. The program that voters are being asked to approve — 3B — is just for maintaining the school district’s aging infrastructure, which helps maintain our property values. And, it would not raise the tax rate. It’s a great opportunity to make important repairs to our schools. Vote YES on 3B. David A. Lorenz Executive Director South Suburban Parks and Recreation District

Too good for our own good Just even saying that we are “too good” at something is kind of like saying we are having “too much fun,” or “we have too much money.” None of these statements makes a whole lot of sense, as I can’t remember a time when I actually had too much fun and I never found myself saying that there was no more room in my bank account because I simply had too much money. However, I can look at times when I had reached a certain level of expertise or accomplishment at a specific skill or craft and can probably say that I had become “too good” at that particular skill. It’s not being good, great, or extremely accomplished at something that is the problem, it’s when we become complacent or even maybe careless because we start to operate on autopilot. I have met many extremely talented and skilled individuals and teams who are wonderfully accomplished. They never cease to amaze me with their capabilities and productivity. But even some of these folks have gotten caught in the trap of complacency or carelessness, cutting corners and taking shortcuts because they have been doing their job or fulfilling their role for so many years they forget to pay attention to the details. When this happens they don’t produce their best work, or they set a poor example for someone who may be looking to learn from that person as a role model or mentor. So how do we make sure that we do not lose sight of the importance of our gifts and talents that help us fulfill our pur-

I want the best for my children and I plan to vote in favor of Littleton Public Schools ballot question 3B. We moved to Littleton because of the excellent education this school district provides children. LPS offers hands-on opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math (also known as STEM) in EVERY school, not just in a few buildings. This is one of the major reasons our school district is so excellent. However, I am worried the facilities are old and are not kept up to the same standard of excellence because of a lack of funds.

pose, those things and skills that we have become so good at? How do we avoid the autopilot syndrome and maintain the integrity of our effort and continued pursuit of being better than good? One way is to always be willing to learn even more. No matter how good we believe we are, regardless of how strong, fast, accomplished or experienced we believe ourselves to be, there is always someone better, smarter, stronger, faster, and more productive than we are. Always. So we need to be willing to develop an attitude of being a constant student of the game, especially when it comes to those things that we are most passionate about. Another good idea is to imagine that we are teaching someone how to do the very same thing that we do.

Conflict resolution is worth fighting for

Since 2009, every October during Conflict Resolution Month, I’ve been writing and presenting town halls about reducing conflict in our lives. Yet we are again dealing with a partial federal government cient shutdown due to the stubbornness in the As U.S. Congress. an’t And why? Apparently, some people ch, just don’t know how to manage conflict uter effectively. ss Or maybe their egos have run amuck, r, and they think they don’t have to govern ant efficiently in order to remain in office? ition Maybe they need to hear from us that they need to find a better way of governing; a e more collaborative method. one Every year in the workplace, employers (including the government) across the n country are losing millions of dollars in employee absenteeism, lost productivity, r and employee turnover due to people not knowing how to prevent or solve people ITE problems. How many marriages could be saved if people knew how to stop yellord ing and start listening? And how many er. k

taxpayer dollars could be saved if members of Congress could drop their egos and collaborate on solutions rather than fingerpointing? Colorado’s No. 1 employer is the federal government, so we’re certain to be affected by this dysfunction. This is why I have once again sponsored Conflict Resolution Month. And isn’t it ironic that as we watch the U.S. Congress implode, that in Colorado, we’re honoring October as Conflict Resolution Month? What is Conflict Resolution Month, and how can it help our communities?

Across Colorado during October, there are local and regional events that range from workshops, to town halls, to open dialogues where people can learn tips and techniques about preventing or resolving their own conflicts. I’m very proud that we now have all the cities and towns in Senate District 26 proclaiming to spread the awareness of Conflict Resolution. Imagine if every elected official, government employee, or contractor collaborated with each other in their work. The efficiency and effectiveness of government would soar. The cost savings would rise. And trust in government could be regained. How can it help you personally? Imagine having more peace in your home or peace among your friends or neighbors. Think of hearing your kids bragging about solving their own problems on the playground or in the classroom. And what if you knew how to handle that cranky coworker, customer, or boss? Your workday would become easier and more enjoyable.

If we had the tools to prevent or minimize just some of our conflict, imagine how much better life would be for all of us. Doctors tell us that when we reduce the stress in our lives, we reduce our chances of heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, etc., and the list goes on. And what creates stress? Usually, some sort of conflict — internal or external. Please join me at my Conflict Resolution Town Hall on Oct. 12 at Blueberry’s on Littleton Boulevard at 9 a.m. We will be providing conflict resolution tips, tools, and resources that are available locally. Go to senlindanewell.com, conflictresolutionmonth.org, or call 303-866-4846 for more information.

Flies bring out the buzz-kill inclination I have written a haiku for you today: I despise all flies McFly is OK, that’s it The rest are pests. Swat I hate flies. I am sure that I would feel the same way about jellyfish and cane toads, but I never see them in my neighborhood. I haven’t seen a single Gaboon viper either. Gaboon vipers have the largest venom yield of any venomous snake. No attempt was made to give flies a unique name, like butterflies and dragonflies. A fly is just a fly. It’s entry-level naming. “What does it do?” “It flies, that about it.” “We’ll call it a fly.” Sometimes you can’t even see them. They just buzz around the kitchen, and do one touch-and-go after another.

Our schools require a robust technology infrastructure that will support a one-to-one computing environment. The integration of technology into my son and daughter’s classroom has helped their writing and science test scores improve dramatically. This integration is possible because of improvements made possible through previous bonds passed by voters more than a decade ago. I believe that our aging schools must be repaired and upgraded in order to accommodate today’s hands-on learning that teaches students the skills necessary to compete and lead in the 21st-century workforce.

Flies are completely useless. I guess lizards like them, and that’s better than nothing. Otherwise, they are no more than nuisances. Quite unnecessary, dark, ﬂying specks. At least mosquitoes led to medical breakthroughs because of malaria. Flies? Nothing. “Some strains are immune to most insecticides.”

all that we do on our way to being great. Are you having too much fun? Do you have too much money? I didn’t think so. But if you believe that you just might be too good for your own good at what you love to do the most, send me an email at gotonorton@gmail.com and tell me all about it. And as we grow each and every day, it really will be a better than good week.

There is fly fishing, and fly balls, and “a fly on the wall.” In the urban dictionary, “fly” means cool. But I am reaching. Flies are 100 percent irksome. There is one in the house right now. It’s in the kitchen. It may be a reincarnation. In fact, I am certain of it. I’m pretty sure it’s a former student of mine who once told me that she had a Mr. Smith doll that she put pins into every night after class. But something went wrong, I guess, because Esther spent the last four weeks of the semester in the hospital. I figure she wanted to come back as a daffodil, but goofed that up too, and came back as a fly. Flies are believed to have gotten their start 65 million years ago. It doesn’t look like they have evolved very much, does it? “They are capable of carrying over 100 pathogens, such as those

causing typhoid, cholera, tuberculosis and anthrax.” Why are they here in the first place? Why do we have to have more pests? Aren’t Howard Stern and Jerry Springer enough? I have always been fascinated by the concept of a fly in an airplane. If the fly is flying, how fast is it going? Is it going the speed of the airplane? Flies have a life span of 15 to 30 days. I have found their carcasses in window channels. They were simply on the wrong side of the glass, and spent a portion of their short life span trying to get out of here. I have a fly swatter. That tells you a lot. There is no such thing as a penguin swatter. There is no such thing as a raccoon Marshall continues on Page 28

She has participated on other building committees — Recognition and Accountability Committees, to name two — and has volunteered for the District ETAC, District Financial Advisory and the District Wellness committees. She knows the thinking of the school district. She is also among the first to tackle difficult tasks. Kelly is also a community member. She listens to the educational concerns of her friends and neighbors on telephone and sidewalk, as wells as shopping malls and grocery stores. Kelly shares community opinions with school decision-makers. Once a district direction has been decided, Kelly distributes the information to community members, thanking them for the educational difference they have made for our youth. For these reasons, I endorse Kelly Perez for her bid for Littleton School Board. Kelly has impressed me with her hard work, drive, integrity and intelligence. Her leadership will take Littleton in the right direction. As a side note, all five of Kelly’s children have been educated in LPS. They are/were excellent students in LPS and will/have maintained these outstanding academic standards at prestigious U.S. colleges. Linda Arnold Centennial

Success is found in smiles over croquet Game brings generations together, boosts dementia patients By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com James Creasey figures he has helped initiate 400,000 smiles since he started Jiminy Wicket five years ago. This year he wants to accomplish 2½ times that. The organization, which brings together generations over the game of croquet to positively impact those suffering from different forms of dementia, was founded after Creasey experienced a breakthrough with his own father over a game six years ago. “I had no idea what I was going to do with my father in the silence and the confusion that he was experiencing,” Creasey said. “It terrified me.” While vacationing in his native England with his father and mother, Creasey, who had never played croquet with his father growing up, discovered there was a course at the resort where they were staying and thought a game might be a good idea. What an idea it turned out to be. “I took him up there after breakfast on the first day,” Creasey

said. “As he hit the ball, he smiled, and I thought, `Whoa, this is all right.’” Creasey played with his father every day for two weeks and commissioned his brother to buy him a croquet set once vacation was over and Creasey returned to Denver. “I started getting emails and phone calls from my nephews and my nieces saying, `This is incredible, we don’t have to just sit

in the silence with papa anymore.’ “After that I started this program with the Alzheimer’s Association here in Colorado to see if I could put a smile on a few more faces. I thought if I could make a half-dozen more people smile, I’d die a happy man.” Creasey wasn’t satisfied with a half-dozen people, though, and now has his sights on achieving a million smiles between two generations over croquet — this year

alone. On Sept. 20, one day before World Alzheimer’s Day — and the four-year anniversary of his father’s death — Creasey was at the Rockefeller Center in New York City launching the “Through Hoops to Hope” program to pair Alzheimer’s patients with high school students in 100 schools from coast to coast. Forty of those schools, including Kent Denver and Regis Jesuit, are located in

Colorado. None of this would have happened, however, without Roy and Fay Whitney. When Creasey ran out of funding to take his program any further, the couple, who live part-time at Vi at Highlands Ranch, stepped forward and provided him with enough funding to keep his program going and take it to the next level. “It’s nice to share with people who are further down the line than you are,” said Roy. “At our age it’s easy to say, `I don’t know what the next 10 years are going to bring.” Fay, who has spent 50 years as a nurse and is the professor emeritus of the Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing at the University of Wyoming, is in for another reason. “I’ve been working with the elderly for a long time, and now I am one,” she said. “One of the things I have noted in taking care of people with Alzheimer’s or dementia is that they are isolated, not just by themselves, but by everyone.” The program helps eliminate that isolation, by providing social engagement, physical exercise and cognitive stimulation for the seniors. It also brings smiles to all involved, and that, Creasey says, is how, “when there is no language, no words, no ability to string a sentence together,” one can tell it is working.

Taylor Continued from Page 5

“I talk about exactly what I believe in,” he said. “When hapandI got elected to council in ran1977, I had some strong oppro-position. I was invited to whoa victory party, and I overandsheard two women saying, pro-`Who’s this guy? He’s not ng toone of us.’ I liked the fact takethat I’m not one of `them,’ but I got elected. That could oplebe the rebel in me, I don’t lineknow. … Five times I ran, ourand three were unopposed. knowSo people must like what I oingdo, or at least have no objection to it, I guess.” years One of the things that essororiginally spurred Taylor to tneyrun in Littleton was the loiver-cation of his house, in the otherBow Mar neighborhood west of the South Platte theRiver. now “The railroad depresf thesion divided the city,” he caresaid. “We couldn’t get amr de-bulances and fire trucks ated,across the city. There were y ev-120 trains a day at that time. … It was blocked a lot, and natewe couldn’t get people from ocialone side to the other. The rciselong-lasting effects of lowr theering the tracks were that es toit allowed us to become a aseyunified city, and one of the s nothings I first ran on was a ty toreal feeling that the west oneside was an orphan. They didn’t feel they were getting nfor-good services and recognit, gotion, and I hope that in my 20 years on council, I’ve helped change that. Light rail was just a secondary event, because somebody was smart enough to fit it in there. I think the unity was more important than light rail.”

Advocate of growth

He’s often championed the idea of encouraging growth in the city. “The biggest disappointment was when we had the opportunity to annex Highlands Ranch, and we didn’t,” he said. “It would not look like it does today. There would be a little more open space, and not be quite so dense, I don’t think. You never can predict, but that would probably have translated into we would have Sterling Ranch now. And this desire came from my experiences in Northglenn. In 1969, the cities of Thornton and Westminster had surrounded Northglenn so it could not grow. It was landlocked almost from the very beginning, and you begin to see the deterioration when you can’t grow. … I would push for growth having seen that.” Related to that, he wished council had not accepted a deal with Denver Water that, in exchange for about $2.6 million, ended the utility’s obligation to provide water to any new land the city might annex. “I really think we got railroaded into accepting that contract, and we certainly didn’t get enough out of it,” he said. “It did stop us from annexing Sterling Ranch. They were afraid we were going to do that, and they were going to have to sup-

ply water. … I sometimes wish I had spoken out more on issues, like against the water contract. But once it’s done and in the past, I tend to forget about it. Someday when I’m going through boxes, I’ll come across a whole bunch of things I wish I’d said.” Despite all that, Taylor is happy with the state of the city as he leaves council. “I’m glad to see that we’re open for business,” he said. “I want DRCOG urban-growth boundaries to stay static and not expand, which will mean more redevelopment within the borders, including Littleton. All the literature now indicates the young professionals don’t want to own homes, and they’re satisfied with not having a car. They like walkable communities and nighttime activities, and that’s why the apartments are so appealing to them. … I see the city aging, and I hope it ages gracefully. We’ve had a lot of growth, and I think that we’ve become more mature. The growth is going to cause more dense development if you can’t sprawl. We don’t have the ability to sprawl unless we annex into Douglas County. There’s no tax money to get from Jefferson County. If we had Sterling Ranch, we’d get building and use taxes right away.”

“I saw the door open, then I saw her little tiny face, then she came running down the hall with her arms wide,” he said. “It melted me.” Veronica Zabala, 17, was the day’s added bonus.

whole school year, attending Heritage High School and staying with the family of Olivia Holt, who spent a year in Belgium as part of the program. “It’s been difficult, but I’m having fun meeting new friends and getting to serve the community,” said Zabala. “I also like little children, that’s why I volunteered to read.” Zabala said she volunteers on service projects with Rotary in her hometown, too, something the Littleton group, which celebrated its 90th birth-

day this year, would love to see more of. Without some younger faces, many of the club’s good deeds could go by the wayside: Books for Babies, Littleton Free Clinic, Breakfast with Santa, Flower Power and Hands Across Littleton, and scholarships for students, just to name a few. “We love our association with Rotary and all the senior volunteers who come and help us,” said Centennial’s principal, Mary Ellen Dillman. “It’s a wonderful partnership.”

our fellow man. These were the principles that my parents taught me growing up in Anchorage, Alaska, and now Mindy and I are trying to pass those same principles on to our children.” A political newcomer, Dean says he doesn’t really know any of the current councilors. “I hope that they are trying to do the right things for the right reasons, but I am concerned about our future,” he said.

“It is not possible to tax our way to prosperity, nor is it right.” Councilors Bruce Beckman and Bruce Stahlman both want to retain their at-large seats but are being challenged by newcomers Dean and John Watson. Nobody stepped up to challenge Councilor Phil Cernanec in District 3, and Randy Stein is the only person running to replace the term-limited Councilor Jim Taylor in District 1.

Wants to tax pot

Despite his conservative roots, Taylor has recently, and proudly, taken up a rather progressive cause. “Well, it’s coming up, and that’s the retail marijuana ban,” he said. “Our citizens voted for it, and I’m getting lots of emails supporting retail. So if it fails, that’s going to be a big disappointment for me. I’ve always said regulate it and tax it. Not having the ability to tax it is really going to cause a reduction in our revenue. You’re not going to stop the marijuana, it’s still going to be there. The only thing retail changes is we receive no revenue; instead, Denver does. I look at life as you’ve got to be real. You’re not going to stop it, so let’s put it out in the open where we can regulate it and make money off of it.” That issue will be settled before he leaves office, but that won’t be the end of his contributions to the city. He’ll remain on DRCOG’s Metro Vision 2040 committee and on the city’s Riverfront Authority, which manages the metro district that built the EchoStar building at Santa Fe and Bowles Avenue. “I hope we will get a project to start working on,” he said. “If the city designates an area that needs help, we can use the Riverfront Authority as a vehicle to provide that help. Absolutely, it’s controversial. I do not shy away from controversy. … I don’t know what kind of opportunities will come forward next. I don’t anticipate sitting home doing nothing. I may show up at council a lot to give a different viewpoint from the `anti’ viewpoints.”

Littleton Independent 17 October 3, 2013

Chef doesn’t cut mustard

125 years and counting Despite rain, about 200 celebrate at Independent’s anniversary party By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com It was the best night of 2013, declared South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce president John Brackney. “And there’s a reason for that,” he told the crowd of nearly 200 who attended the Littleton Independent’s 125th birthday bash at in the Garden Pavilion at Hudson Gardens Sept. 27. “Look around. Everybody who’s anybody, absent vacation or illness, is in the room tonight.” It was a notably diverse group, with Littleton City Council incumbents sharing the spotlight with their challengers, the city manager getting his photo taken with two former city attorneys, the mayor mingling with ordinary folks, and current reporters getting face time with Garrett Ray, a former owner and editor of the Independent. “Nina and I lived here from 1961 till 1984, so we were here during some of the most rapid and wrenching changes in life in Littleton and the Independent,” Ray told the audience. “But we all had some fun as well.” He went on to share some favorite memories — Western Welcome Week parades waiting for the train before the tracks were lowered; roundtables at the original Abe’s Cafe hosted by Houstoun Waring, the Independent owner who hired Ray; the community spoof “Fiasco,” when Littletonites made fun of themselves. Then there were the infamous concrete pods along Main Street, meant to modernize downtown. “Ridiculed as concrete toadstools, people cheered when a few were knocked down by tall delivery trucks,” Ray recalled. “The city, downtown merchants and residents didn’t miss them when they were taken down, but the other part of the project, the trees, worked very well, fortunately.” Ray was an unabashed Democrat in what was a Republican-dominated community, but he said it wasn’t his political editorials that drew the most criticism. The top three were when he said the death of Elvis Presley was no big deal; when he suggested that maybe Inter-Faith should find another way to raise money after hun-

Many of the area’s leaders attended the Independent’s Sept. 27 party. From left are Littleton City Manager Michael Penny, South Suburban Parks and Recreation Executive Director Dave Lorenz and South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce President John Brackney.

This cake, served at the Littleton Independent’s birthday party, says it all. dreds of kids shivered through a cold, wet 25-mile walk; and when he endorsed the opponent of the very popular county clerk, Marjorie Page. “Marj won, of course,” he said. “She forgave me, but some of her admirers are probably still mad.” Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman, who has a degree in journalism, noted the city has the longest-held subscription to the Independent, though nobody else in the room could beat community activist Paul Bingham’s 50 years.

“It really tells the history of the community,” said Brinkman. “It keeps the thread of the community vibrant.” After the speeches were over and people kicked up their heels to tunes from across the ages by John Akal’s Ultraphonic Jazz Orchestra, Jerry and Ann Healey, today’s owners of the Independent, watched the revelry like proud parents. “It’s about the people of Littleton that makes this place so special,” said Jerry Healey. “It’s all about our connection to you.”

I have the deepest respect for Denver restaurant owner and super chef Jennifer Jasinski (Rioja, Bistro Vendome, Euclid Hall) for her stellar performance in Bravo’s “Top Chef Masters,” which ended sadly not in her favor on Sept. 25. In losing, as part of the final three, she was nothing but gracious, of course. Here’s what James Oseland, editor-in-chief of Saveur magazine, had to say about the end results: “I thought I had a handle on Jennifer’s excellence as a cook, and then during the finale meal, she served us her paella gnocchi. My God, it was the single best dish I ate all season — so perfectly balanced, so beautifully executed, so lovely to look at. Unfortunately, for her chances at winning the season, her other three courses — while very, very good — didn’t come anywhere near the glory of that dish. Still, if we’re handing out prizes for individual plates of food, this one is the season five gold-medal winner.” Not to be overlooked was her remarkable job of snaring the most money for her charity: $35,000 for Work Options for Women, a Denver nonprofit that teaches food service skills to women in poverty. “I have no regrets at all about this experience,” Jasinski said after being defeated by chef Douglas Keane. “Top Chef Masters” win or lose aside, Sept. 25 was still a good day for the Denver chef. Two of her restaurants, Rioja and Euclid Hall, were named among the Top 25 Best Restaurants in the October edition of 5280 magazine.

Another Boulder best

The University of Colorado-Boulder is back in the top 10. No, not its football program, but on Playboy magazine’s top 10 party schools. CU ranked third in Playboy’s 2013 list in the October issue. West Virginia University topped the list, followed by the University of Wisconsin. CU topped the list in 2011 and has been a regular in Playboy’s poll, which began as the top 40 party colleges in 1987. CU did not make the list a year ago. This year’s list was determined by Playboy’s editors, who used data from resources including the National Center for Education Statistics, the NCAA and the U.S. Economic Census, as well as feedback from Playboy’s more than 12 million social media fans. The 2012 top party school, University of Virginia, failed to make the 2013 list.

Restaurant Week does the splits

Denver Restaurant Week(s), one of the most popular events in town for the generous portions for a small price, is doing a double take by splitting its personality with two weeks spaced out during the year. In observation of the event’s 10th anniversary, Visit Denver’s Denver Restaurant Week will double the fun by holding one week from Feb. 22-28 and a second week Aug. 23-29.

‘Colorado Creates’ grants go to local groups State money is match for federal NEA funds By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com In early summer, word went out to Colorado’s arts organizations announcing nine regional review panels across the state would consider applications for “Colorado Creates” grants. In fiscal year 2012-13, 133 grants totaled $1,048,500; for 2013-14, 150 grants were announced on Sept. 23, totaling $1,125,000.

The state arts agency, Colorado Creative Industries, serves both large and small communities, and organizations from Arapahoe and Douglas counties were included in the new awards. Margaret Hunt, director of Colorado Creative Industries, said: “These grants support the artists and creative entrepreneurs who are critical to Colorado’s economy. There are over 186,000 jobs in our state’s creative sector, making it the fifth-largest employment cluster.” Funding comes from a combination of state money, budgeted by the legislature, as a matching grant for National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) funds. “This year shows a nice state increase,” Hunt said. “We had

been severely cut back.” Panelists, who are from the state’s arts community, are happy to be able to fund more projects, she said. On Aug. 20, Arapahoe and Douglas county organization representatives, as well as applicants from Jefferson, Boulder and Adams counties, met with a panel at the Daniels Fund offices in Denver at scheduled intervals to ask for either operating support or project support. Grants ranged from $4,000 to $10,000, for activities taking place between Oct. 1, 2013, and Sept. 30, 2014. Over 50 percent of funds are awarded outside of the Denver metro area. • Arapahoe County grantees:

Arapahoe Philharmonic — $6,500 Cherry Creek Chorale — $6,500 City of Aurora Cultural Services — $10,000 Colorado Humanities — $10,000 Downtown Aurora Visual Arts — $7,500 Littleton Children’s Chorale (Young Voices) — $7,500 Littleton Town Hall Arts Center — $10,000 Vintage Theatre Productions — $7,500 • Douglas County grantees: City of Lone Tree, Lone Tree Arts Center — $10,000 The Wildlife Experience — $10,000 Town of Parker Cultural Division — $10,000

A complete list for the entire state is available online at coloradocreativeindustries.org. Colorado Creative Industries is a division of the Office of Economic Development and International Trade. A 2008 study, commissioned by the NEA, showed 186,251 jobs in the state associated with creative enterprises and creative occupations. Employee earnings, including benefits, were $5 billion. An NEAcommissioned study also found that Colorado ranks fifth among all states for concentration of artists. Creative industries are divided into six subgroups: design, film and media, heritage, literary and publishing, performing arts, and visual arts and crafts.

Arapahoe Philharmonic promises ‘exoticism’ Anniversary show slated for Mission Hills Church By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcolorado news.com The Arapahoe Philharmonic performs its “60th Anniversary Celebration Concert” on Oct. 11, conducted by Devin Patrick Hughes in his first year at the orchestra’s helm. The orchestra plays in the large sanctuary of Mission Hills Church in Littleton. Pianist Jamie Shaak will be featured soloist, performing the “Egyptian Piano Concerto” by SaintSaens, which Hughes describes as “rarely played and undeservedly so.” Shaak, a Denver native, has a long history of performing with the orchestra. Also on the program: Stravinsky’s “Firebird Suite” and Berlioz’s “Roman Carnival Overture.” “Along with bringing in a scent of opera with Berlioz’s `Roman Carnival Overture’ (originally taken from his initially-failed, but wonderful opera `Benvenuto Celinni’), and a taste of ballet, this concert has a taste of exoticism,” Hughes said in a

news release. “Stravinsky’s music to the `Firebird’ was the beginning of a style that would shatter the music world by challenging the very nature of dance and art music. `The Firebird’ is marked by a gorgeous, rich and romantic, although at times foreboding, atmosphere and a triumphant finale, that would not be repeated in his following ballets, `Petrochka’ and `Rites of Spring.’” The orchestra learned recently that it had received a grant of $10,000 from Colorado Creative Industries to support its 60th season celebration. It also receives funds from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District and from individuals. Future programs will include: “Carmina Burana” on Nov. 8; a holiday concert on Dec. 6; “Made in America” on Feb. 7; “Classic Traditions” on March 14 and “Love’s Arrow” (“Carmen” highlights in concert) on May 9.

IF YOU GO The Arapahoe Philharmonic’s 60th Anniversary Concert will be at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 11 at Mission Hills Church, 620 Southpark Drive, Littleton. Tickets: $25/$20/$5, 303-7811893, www.arapahoe-phil.org.

The new price per meal per person is $30, FYI ... Not a bad deal when you factor in inflation with the cost of food, etc. As you may recall, in several of the previous years, Denver Restaurant Week was two weeks, which in many cases put a mad crush on diner volumes, although the financial gains, in many cases, were well worth the effort. “A summer version of the event offers restaurants a lot of interesting serving and meal options,” said Richard Scharf, president and CEO of Visit Denver, the creator and organizer of DRW. “Restaurants will be able to offer outdoor dining and feature fresh Colorado produce. We anticipate that summer menus will be very different from the winter ones, and they will be able to showcase the farm-to-fork movement that is so popular in the state.” In 2013, a record 355 participating restaurants served 436,650 meals.

Play has themes of schemes and dreams ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ on stage at Town Hall By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The audience files in at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center to see a set with white balustrades against a blue sky — the sort that mark a promenade along the seashore in towns on the French Riviera. Lighting will change the mood, but we know where we are. David Yazbek’s lively score kicks in, played by musicians on a marblerailed balcony set high on the side. Palm trees on wheels glide in and a procession of dancers in glitzy gowns and tuxedos follows as the lights go up on a truly delightful musical bonbon: “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” directed by the skilled Nick Sugar. Based on a 1988 movie with Michael Caine, Steve Martin and Glen Hedley, the musical opened on Broadway in 2005 with book by Jeffrey Lane and lyrics and score by David Yazbek. The con is on at a Riviera hotel as Lawrence (Keegan Flaugh), Andre (Brian Murray) and the ensemble sing “Give Them What They Want” (schmoozing wealthy women). Lawrence, a smooth operator, talks about getting those gullible women to “make the check out to cash.”

Keegan Flaugh and Tim Howard are a charming pair of con artists in the musical “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” at Town Hall Arts Center. Courtesy photo by Michael Ensminger His buddy Andre, chief of police, keeps an eye out for new arrivals with potentially fat purses. Enter an older woman, Muriel, played by a charming Margie Lamb, who reminisces: “What Was a Woman to Do?” Andre takes note and another story begins. Word comes that another con man is in the territory — a threat to Lawrence’s operations? Freddy (Tim Howard) is as casual at Lawrence is classy — with a sob story about a poor old sick grandma who needs money. The two joust a bit verbally and figure they can work the scene together. Their joint number, “All About Ruprecht,” is devised to get rid of Oklahoma heiress Jolene, who has gotten too seriously interested in Lawrence — and packs a pistol. It gives Howard

a chance to show his bent for physical comedy as Ruprecht, supposedly Lawrence’s brother, intellectuallychallenged and randy to an extreme. (Probably not politically correct, but very funny.) American heiress Christine (Rachel Wood) appears on the scene and both men fall for her. The show goes on with several parallel story lines, bubbly score and clever dance numbers — as well as some mutual bamboozling. With Sugar’s sure direction and Donna Debreceni’s band, the pace never lets up — what will happen next? You’ll need to visit Town Hall and find out! “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” is onstage until Oct. 13, in the theater at 2450 W. Main St. in Littleton.

Mickey Liebrecht, an Arapahoe High School junior, was one of nine high school students from across the nation who received the 2013 VSA (Very Special Arts) Playwright Discovery Awards. It meant a weekend of participation in pre-professional activities at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., working with the other students and theater professionals — actors, directors, playwrights — who coached and mentored the young artists as they refined their skills. The competition encourages high school students to look at their world and address how disability affects lives. The play could be about real or fictional characters. The 2013 recipients were chosen from more than 150 applicants. Liebrecht’s play, “Broken Bodies,” was one of three selected for a professional stage reading, and a 10-minute excerpt, her Scene Five, was live-streamed from the Millenium Stage on Sept. 1, broadcast on the Kennedy Center website and archived for the future. “Broken Bodies” focuses on a traditional Southern family, with a controlling mother who wants to schedule deaf Alaine for co-

5th Annual Women in Leadership Conference Inspires Women

KWGN Anchorwoman Natalie Tysdal giving the keynote address at the 5th Annual Leadership Awards Luncheon.

On Friday, September 20th, the South Metro Denver Women in Leadership (WIL) hosted its fifth Annual Women’s Leadership Conference themed “WIL to Prosper.” This exciting and enlightening event took place at the Embassy Suites DTC and included free mammograms, 9 different morning and afternoon break-out sessions, the Annual Women’s Leadership Awards Luncheon, and a cocktail reception to end the day. The conference was a great experience for the 165 business women who attended. The early morning hour of 7:30 featured a delicious buffet breakfast as the gathering women listened as Chamber President & CEO John Brackney and current WIL Chair Gina Kaelin-Westcott of Extreme Relationship Management welcomed the ladies and gave insights regarding the day’s events. Several Chamber Investors took advantage of the opportunity to present their products and services at booths throughout the day. Kuni Honda on Arapahoe, Schomp Automotive, Arbonne International, Park Meadows, Silpada Jewelry, Take Shape for Life, Lovett Family Chiropractic and Wellness Center, University of Colorado Hospital

and the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center were present with an enthusiastic audience. The 5th Annual Women’s Leadership Awards Luncheon began with a presentation by Heather Halpape, Public Affairs Manager for Safeway Denver, of a check for $3000 to Project C.U.R. E. Laurie Porter for Project C.U.R. E. spoke on the great work the organization does with getting much needed medical supplies set to developing countries. Outstanding women who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in their businesses and community were then honored. To rounds of applause Pamela Kelly of Park Meadows was christened Outstanding Leader of the Year Holly Mullins, Farmers Insurance Agent/Owner was named Emerging Business Leader of the Year, Bridget Lovett, Co-Owner of Lovett Family Chiropractic and Wellness Center gained Community Leader of the Year, Kristie Nelson, Realtor with Remax Alliance was the Inspirational Leader of the Year, and Leah Dirks, Vice President at 1st Bank was named Philanthropic Leader of the Year. KWGN anchor Natalie Tysdal was the keynote speaker for the luncheon. During her honest and sometimes emotional presentation, Natalie spoke on her decision to become a reporter in order to be sure that people were portrayed by the media with compassion and integrity. Her conflicts with being a woman in a male-dominated arena and her stance on what is appropriate to report and what is not were covered as well as her new entrepreneurial endeavor, EverWise Entertainment. The conference presented 9 seminars including three panel discussions. Semi-

nar topics were wide ranging and included Empowerment by Dynamic Leadership, The Power of Saying “No”, Making Connections, Maximizing Social Media, Mastering Your Influence and Credibility, Creating Culture, Time and Stress Management, Branding Yourself and Your Business and Strategic Thinking.

Eagles edge Lions in soccer Evenly matched teams battle for entire 80 minutes of game By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Fans watched a classic high school soccer match between two evenly matched teams Sept. 24 when Heritage got a goal in each half to edge Littleton 2-0 at Littleton High School Stadium. Both teams played an uptempo style and it was a constant battle to win the ball and mount a successful attack that stretched from one end of the field to the other. Each team mounted attacks, put solid shots on goal and both goalies, Riccardo Cominelli for Heritage and Edgar Cervantes for Littleton, made difficult plays to keep the ball out of the net. After the game, Heritage coach Adam Buseck said his young team played very well. “We graduated 14 or 15 seniors from last year’s team that were the Continental League champs, so we have a lot of young kids in starting roles this season,” the coach said. “We played good soccer and the win tonight against a crosstown rival was important as we move ahead this season.” Littleton coach Pedja Vajzovic

agreed it was a tough game. “I thought we played them even in the midfield but we gave up two goals in close,” he said. “We had chances and I thought we had a stronger attack, but we didn’t score the goals. We deserved the win but we gave away two goals.” The Sept. 24 battle was a good one from the opening kickoff. About four minutes into the game, Heritage mounted a sustained attack, drove in close and Jacob Bruno put the ball into the net. The score remained unchanged until just past the midway mark in the second half. Heritage had a free kick and Conrad d’Leeuwen lofted the ball into the mouth of the goal. Teammate Johannes Coopeneur out jumped the players around him and headed the ball past the diving goalie and into the net. Eagles coach Buseck said his team played well against Littleton. He said he feels the defense is one of the strengths of the team. “We have two strong seniors helping anchor our defense,” he said. “We are working on our offense and it is coming along.” Eagle senior midfielder Josh Peil said Sept. 24 was a really big game for the Heritage team. “Littleton is a very good team and it was a battle out there tonight,” he said after the game. “They came out, gave it everything they had and the game was well Soccer continues on Page 27

Warriors can’t find range with bats Arapahoe battles hard but loses softball game to Mullen By Tom Munds

Winning softball games requires good defense, solid pitching and timely hitting. On Sept. 26, Arapahoe had the fielding and pitching elements, but Warrior bats didn’t find the range and they lost to Mullen, 6-2. “Our defense looked good today, pitching looked good today, but our bats are just too inconsistent,” said Warriors coach Jeannie Krueger. “We are working on hitting in every practice because you have to hit the ball. I don’t think it is a matter of the pitching because most of the girls play competitive summer softball and have seen these pitchers before. I think a lot of it is mental, and the girls are thinking too much when they come to the plate.” The loss leaves the Warriors 3-9 in league and 4-13 overall as they head into the home stretch of the schedule. Arapahoe traveled to Village Green Park Oct. 1 to play Cherry Creek, and then are on their home field at DeKoevend Park Oct. 3 to play Cherokee Trail, the game that ends the regular season. Mullen came into the Sept. 26 game 9-3 overall, which includes an 8-2 league record, so the Mustangs are battling hard to capture one of the top spots in the league. The Mustangs scored a pair of runs early and combined aggressive base running and timely hits to push four runs across the plate in the top of the sixth inning. But the Warriors kept battling. A walk, sacrifice bunt, stolen base and fielder’s choice resulted in Arapahoe scoring a run in the home half of the sixth. After holding the Mustangs scoreless in the top of the final inning, the Warriors sought to put together a solid rally in the

bottom of the seventh. Michaela Shea was hit by a pitch, went to second on a wild pitch and went to third on another wild pitch. Caroline McPhillips put down a wellplaced bunt, allowing Shea to score, and Morgan Medina, who walked and moved up on the wild pitch, moved to third base with only one out. But a pair of strikes ended the inning and the game, giving Mullen the 6-2 win. Krueger said things have changed for her team. “Our bats were our strength early in the season, but as the season progressed, hits were harder to come by so we had to depend on solid defense and good pitching to be competitive,” she said. “I think our girls have played well, and the good news is just about all these girls are underclassmen so we should be a better, more competitive team next season.” The Warriors expected to have two pitchers this season but, a week into the season, one pitcher went down with a knee injury, so Arapahoe had depended on freshman Ashlynn Krueger to do all mound duty for the team. “When I was about 8 and playing recreational league softball, my coach asked me if I wanted to pitch, I said yes and I’ve been at ever since,” the freshman said. “I found that I really liked to be the pitcher because you have the ball every play.” She said she has sought to improve her techniques by working with a pitching coach. She said, over the years, the coach has helped her develop her catalog of pitches to include a fastball, a change-up, a drop ball, a rise ball and a curve. “My most effective pitch is my drop ball. I don’t know why, it just seems to work best for me,” she said. “During the off season, I plan to work on my attitude plus try to tune up my mechanics so I can throw faster, harder and move the ball around in the strike zone.”

Littleton Hockey celebrates 50 years Athletes from 4 to 18 can play, learn skills By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcolorado news.com A sizable crowd of adults and children turned out and shared memories, hugs and smiles Sept. 29 during the Littleton Hockey Association 50th anniversary celebration. Event organizers sought to have a little something for everyone. There was a bounce house for the little ones, games and activities including a hockey goal shoot for young athletes, food, beverages and lots of tables and chairs to just sit and chat about the sport and the association.

“This is a pretty nice event,” Laura Taylor said. “My son keeps talking about wanting to play hockey, a neighbor told me about today’s event and I decided to check it out.” The Centennial resident said everyone was friendly and helped her answer a lot of questions about youth hockey. She smiled and said her son is excited and, while she hadn’t decided, it is possible she might sign him up for one of the teams. The ice rink that became the initial home of the Littleton Hockey Association was purchased and brought from Amarillo, Texas, in 1963. It was an outdoor rink originally set up at Arapahoe County Fairgrounds, the site that eventually became Cornerstone Park. South Suburban Ice Arena

was built in 1969, and the original outdoor rink equipment was moved to the arena in 1974. South Suburban Ice Arena and the Ice Ranch at Littleton are home ice for the multitude of teams playing under the Littleton Hockey Association banner. There are about 675 boys and girls, ranging in age from four to 18, playing on association teams. There are about 180 4- to 8-yearolds on association teams while there are 19 teams of 9- to 18-year-olds. The largest single age group are the 13- and 14-year-olds who fill the rosters of the 14 association teams in the under 14 division. While many of the teams play only in the metro area, the upper level age-group teams often travel to tournaments at different locations around the country. Brian TenEyck, director, said Littleton Hockey has been developing great hockey players and citizens for 50 years. He said he knows from experience the association is a strong family and community organization because he was a player,

The association honors players who are program alumni who went on to play hockey at a Division 1 college or higher by placing their pictures on the wall of fame. Six new inductees were added to the 75 pictures on the wall at South Suburban Ice Arena. Kent Murphy started with Littleton Hockey in 1994. He had played hockey in North Dakota and coached in a major program in Minnesota before a job transfer brought him to Colorado. “I became a coach for the Littleton Hockey Association because it was the

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton Hockey alumni have gone on to play higher-level hockey. For example, Josiah Didier, Grant Arnold and Quentin Shore now wear the University of Denver scarlet and gold. Each of the athletes started playing hockey as a 5-year-old or younger and stuck with the sport.

school hockey,” he said. “Instead, I played for the Littleton Thunderbirds, an AAA-level team that is a step up from high school hockey.” He left the Thunderbirds to move to Iowa to play junior A hockey, the step up from AAA. He spent three years with the Iowa team and eventually was recruited by DU. He said he has seen hockey become more popular, so there are more teams and more kids playing the sport. Arnold is a 2010 Arapahoe High School graduate. “I started out playing for association age group teams,” he said. “When I got older, I played for the Littleton Thunderbirds before spending three years with Green Bay in the United States Hockey League.” In the USHL, clubs pay all expens-

es but no one receives a salary, so the athlete can remain an amateur. Last year, Arnold accepted a scholarship and the Pioneer sophomore now plays forward for DU. Shore also began playing hockey at a very young age. He attended Kent Denver through the ninth grade and, as a high school sophomore, he was invited to move to Michigan to be part of the national development team. Last year, he accepted an offer from DU. He also was drafted by the National Hockey League Ottawa Senators. He attended the Senators’ summer development camp with no impact on his amateur standing. Of course, if the NHL team signs him, he would become a professional athlete and have to leave college. He noted that hasn’t been discussed yet.

ment to have a child play hockey. “My 10-year-old son is playing hockey and a child playing hockey requires a family commitment of time, effort and finances,” she said. “Hockey probably is more expensive than most sports, and that cost goes up when traveling is involved. I am fortunate because I have a lot of family support to help cover the costs.” However, she noted it also places a lot of demands on the time of the parents and the child.

We were blessed to have good athletes and we won three national championships during the time I coached the teams. We traveled to the national playoffs 10 times and won three championships in a fiveyear span.” He said the evidence of the level of talent is the fact that nine of the 18 players on the 2001 national championship team went on to play hockey at Division 1 colleges.

played by both teams. Fortunately, we put a couple balls into the back of the net, which gave us the win. We had sort of a rough start this year, but the win tonight is a plus as we head into the rest of the season.” Vajzovic said his team played well, and it is always tough to swallow a loss to a rival and league opponent. “We fought hard in spite of the fact we are a young team with only five seniors on the roster,” he said. “All the guys played well, but there were a couple mistakes by the net and they got the two goals. We put this behind us and

keep battling as we head into the second half of the season.” Littleton senior Will Paton said the game was all about the Lions sticking together even though they gave up two unlucky goals, something that sometimes gets a team down. “We didn’t let down after goals and kept after it. Heritage is a good team and it was a battle as both teams kept pushing the ball and looking for openings that weren’t there,” the Lions captain said. “I play outside midfield and I like it there because you can see what is going on all over the field. I used to play defense but moved up into the midfield.” He said soccer is his game but he also swims for the Lions.

In mid-September, hipple went to the nation’s capital again, this time with a contingent of high-powered business leaders, including Dave Cote, the chairman and CEO of Honeywell. “Our mission was to show a united front of small business owners and large business,” Whipple says. “Dave Cote talked about how the growth of Honeywell has been constrained by the government’s failures to pass a budget.” “Large companies like Honeywell are accumulating cash because they see the government debt as a risk to their own stability,” Whipple explains. “These companies have to protect against the next bubble or recession, so they are not taking the risks that they would normally take to expand their businesses. And when these big companies sit on their cash, it constrains the entire economy,” stifling job creation, reinvestment, the growth of small business and the collection of additional taxes. When meeting with politicians in Washington, Whipple said most “took a party-line position. It was evident there is a deep cultural divide between our legislators.” He said the group found stronger support when they met with representatives from the White House. Whipple believes voters “must support candidates who are willing to deal with big issues. The men who wrote the Declaration of Independence put their lives and families at risk. Our congressional leaders must show the same courage,” he says. Chamber CEO Brackney continues to be one of the most visible and vocal leaders of the Fix the Debt movement in Colorado. “Decisions in Washington affect businesses outside the beltway,” Brackney wrote in a recent opinion

swatter. We dislike flies so much that killing devices are manufactured, and if you Google the word, you will see an extensive menu of swatters. Sometimes all it takes is a rolled-up newspaper. My sixth-grade teacher in Fullerton, Calif., used to hand-catch them in midair, and then gloat. I have never seen anything like it. Mr. Thomas was very impressive, at least when it came to flies.

Former Colorado Gov. Dick Lamm has recently started to speak out on the debt issue and Congressman Mike Coffman and Sen. Michael Bennet also have expressed their support of the movement. And many candidates running for local offices have trumpeted their support for the Fix the Debt campaign. “Forty large corporations have donated generously, a million dollars each, to the Fix the Debt campaign,” which now has chapters in all 50 states, says Whipple. So far, more than 350,000 people across the country have signed the campaign’s “Petition to Fix the Debt.” Whipple says Congress should “stop looking at these little stopgap measures to fund the government” — referred to in Washington as continuing resolutions. “It’s management by crisis and we have to get away from that,” says Whipple. “We are lurching from one crisis to another.” Tax and entitlement reform, Whipple believes, “needs to come from both sides of the aisle. There are so many obstructionists in our government. We need to stop voting these people in.” For his part, Brackney plans to spend every Monday for the next few months visiting communities all around the state to talk to commissioners, mayors and other local leaders. Whipple will be meeting with Colorado Congressman Ed Perlmutter this week. “We’re also doing lots of social media stuff,” he says. “We’re just going to continue beating the bushes and help people learn about the issues.” “If our deficit keeps going in the direction it is going,” Whipple says, “it will have dire consequences for our entire way of life.”

anything else about him or about the class. If you are having a bad day, the sight of a butterfly can improve it immediately. If you are having a bad day, the sight — and sound — of a fly in your kitchen makes it worse. I am having a good day, but knowing that Esther is in the house is bothersome. Knowing she is downstairs, perhaps sitting on a crumb, is unacceptable. I have the business section rolled. Wish me luck. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.
