Downtown gets pole-arized By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Every October, an odd array of what could be called art crops up along Main Street. They are the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants’ pumpkin poles, decorated wildly in an effort to win best
of show. This year’s winner was “Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland” on the corner of Main and Nevada streets — not just because it was creative, intricate and showed good use of pumpkins, but because its creators were the only ones to bribe the judge, offering up a mug of
delicious cider. Congratulations to merchants Grandpa’s Attic, Tavern, In Tea and Adventures in Dance. Second place was the rather graphic football-themed pole in front of Delizio’s. Word on the street is that the judge appreciated the fact that it was the only pole to risk a bit of good oldfashioned Halloween blood and guts.
Littleton City Council passed the city’s 2014 budget Oct. 15 without having to shut down the government even once. The only sticking point came over adding a marketing specialist, at a total cost of about $387,000 for personnel and events. “It’s all about partnerships,” said Kelli Narde, the city’s director of communications. “There’s been some discussion in the community that this is some kind of high-priced party planner. Nothing could be further from the truth.” According to City Manager Michael Penny, increased funding to special events will up their quality and quantity, bringing in new visitors and revenue. He anticipates spending $35,000 on a downtown branding and sign plan, and $17,500 on marketing. He notes that residents indicated strong support for Littleton to increase its self-promotion in both the business and citizen surveys conducted last year. Eighty percent of residents said it’s essential or very important, and 97 percent of businesses said they support strengthening the community’s image. But three residents spoke out against the proposal during the budget hearing, saying the private sector should take care of marketing itself, and the government should stick to infrastructure. “If council takes care of the people Budget continues on Page 26
Littleton Retreat leads to goals, next steps Revitalization, healthy choices, mental issues emerge as priorities By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com By the end of the 24-hour Littleton Community Retreat on Oct. 19, it was evident that the city has a wealth of health resources that work together well, but promoting them more could help fill in some gaps. “We’re a coalition here, and we already have a backbone in
place,” said David Peters, retired community outreach coordinator for Centura Health/St. Anthony Hospital. The event, run by a nonprofit organization not affiliated with the city, started with the broad theme of “Building a Healthy Community for All.” Attendees honed in on three goals they hope to achieve: revitalization of the Littleton Boulevard corridor, removing the stigma from mental-health issues and “Making the Healthy Choice the Easy Choice.” Mike Braaten, assistant city manager and the only city employee in attendance, facilitated

the revitalization group. He said its next steps would be to work with the South Metro Denver Realtors on a smart-growth workshop for the community, become familiar with existing city plans, be involved with increased neighborhood engagement efforts established in the city’s 2014 budget, and help develop visions and goals for the neighborhood. As part of that effort, the group envisions a “charette,” defined as an intensive, collaborative session to find a solution to a probRetreat continues on Page 5

Board delays vote on comprehensive plan Some residents express wish for more specifics By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton’s planning board took another look at its proposed comprehensive plan Oct. 16 after hearing comments from the public that it lacks specificity. “It reminds me of how everybody can use the Bible to support their own ideas,” Betty Harris told the board on Oct. 14. The plan, written in 1981, has been stuck since 2005 between those who think it should be an action plan and those who see it as a guiding vision. Required by state law, it guides the evolution of the city and is supposed to reflect the residents’ desires. It
tends to emphasize things like community character over specifics like lighting and height requirements, which are dealt with in zoning laws. Creating it is up to the planning board, but council must ultimately approve it. Former planning-board member David Metcalf has long argued for more detail and is not pleased with the current version, saying it doesn’t reflect much of the work his board did. “Whatever you do with it, I am here to respectively insist that my name be deleted from the document,” he told the board Oct. 14. “I want nothing to do with it.” He did the same thing in 2011 when his board presented the downtown-area plan to city council for ratification, which ultimately happened in January 2012 after a drawn-out controversy.

Anna Bajaj, of Littleton, was awarded first place in fiction writing for her division (grades 5-6) in the statewide Kansas Authors Club writing contest. David Bitzko, of Littleton, earned the distinction of faculty honors for spring 2013 at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Hannah Neumann and Melba Njenga, of Littleton, represent the students at Fort Lewis College as Senators on the Associated Students of Fort Lewis College student government. Neumann is majoring in business administration, with a tourism and hospitality management option. Njenga is a political science major. Susan Golden, of Littleton, was named to the spring 2013 dean’s list at Regis Uni-
versity. Samuel Swartz, of Littleton, received the Edith McPherson Scholarship in the amount of $1,200 for the 2013-14 academic year at Fort Lewis College. Swartz’s major is psychology. Ashley Fife, of Littleton, is studying abroad at USAC Puntarenas Center in Puntarenas, Costa Rica, for the fall 2013 semester. Fife is a student at Fort Lewis College whose major is psychology. Erik Peterson, of Centennial, and Ashley Fife, of Littleton, were named Admission Ambassadors in the office of admissions at Fort Lewis College. Peterson’s major is business administration with an agricultural business option. Fife’s major is psychology.
But Randy Duzan, the current chair, says there will be more detail in the specific neighborhood and corridor plans, which still need updating, and that the citywide plan guides what’s in those and the very specific zoning codes. “But at the very top is this board, staff and city council,” he said. “It’s up to us, as professionals and volunteers and citizens, to evaluate every application with all of these supporting documents and make a final decision.” Board member Kurt Samuelson agreed. “This is overarching for the city, and people think it’s specific to their neighborhood,” he said. During the hearing, there was some concern that the plan allows for annexation. “I wonder how we’re going to keep our
small-town feel if we’re going to start annexing,” said Carol Brzeczek. But Duzan noted it doesn’t require annexation. “We should have the opportunity to use that tool if appropriate,” he said. Some people just want the process to move forward. “All comprehensive plans attempt to be perfect, and none of them are,” said Kent Bagley, who chaired the board in 2006, when council scrapped that version. “The day that they are made, they’re almost out of date. … I think it’s better to be looking ahead rather than in the rearview mirror of 1981.” Council is tentatively set to make a decision on the plan on Nov. 5. It can be viewed at the city’s website, www.littletongov.org.

Advocates brainstorm for better health options Income isn’t always barrier to services By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com There’s little excuse to be needlessly sick or unhealthy in the city of Littleton, with resources to serve everyone young and old, rich or poor and everywhere in between. The Littleton Community Retreat, Oct. 18-19 at Snow Mountain Ranch near Granby, brought representatives of many of those resources together to brainstorm on how to make them all more effective. “These partnerships could have huge impacts,” said organizer David Peters. There are lots of opportunities for residents to stay fit. Their taxes pay for an extensive trail system, pocket parks, neighborhood playgrounds at local schools, a fitness center at Buck Recreation Center, pools, outdoor adventures at South Platte Park and more. “One of our biggest challenges is getting people off the couch and out the door and into our doors,” said Ellen Martin, wellness coordinator at Buck. She notes that there are scholarships for some classes, and free use of medical equipment like crutches for district residents. “We try not to deny access to anyone who wants to participate,” said Dave Lorenz, SSPR executive director. The schools try to ensure kids stay healthy regardless of whether they’re involved in outside activities, such as SSPR programs or youth sports, by considering physical education a “covenant with the community,” said Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy. Staff is also mindful that some kids might not be getting the nutrition they need at home — fruit is included in breakfast and lunch, and sugary drinks have been dumped. “It’s easier to teach a healthy habit than

Health and fitness resources were among topics discussed at the retreat, which was held Oct. 18-19 in the mountains near Granby. Photo by Jennifer Smith it is to break a bad habit,” said Robyn Zagoren, LPS wellness coordinator. The Greater Littleton Youth Initiative is a key supporter of LPS, funding scientifically proven programs to keep kids healthy medically, socially and academically. “We bring partners together so that we can touch lives,” said Sue Chandler, outgoing school-board member and president of GLYI. Many of the organizations represented at the retreat have a seat at the GLYI table, including Littleton YMCA and Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network. ADMHN has several offices in the southmetro region, including the acute-care facility Bridge House on Santa Fe Drive in Littleton. It offers family counseling, substance-abuse treatment and a wide variety of mental-health services. Lisa Traudt said it’s been working to increase accessibility to services, offering immediate diagnos-
tic services on a walk-in basis to whoever needs it. “We want to eliminate unnecessary barriers to accessing mental-health care,” she said. With Littleton’s aging population, it’s not just all about the kids. South Metro Housing Options provides affordable housing for seniors, and the city offers free transportation options for the elderly and disabled. It’s now undertaking a comprehensive program to determine what more can be done to support them. “We’re there for what the community wants and what the community needs,” said Mike Braaten, assistant city manager, though he noted the city is most directly responsible for the built environment that offers fitness opportunities — 97 miles of sidewalks, bike lanes and new bike racks downtown, to name a few. Tri-County Health Department is perhaps less visible to the average health-care consumer than direct service providers,

but most are familiar with its campaigns like “Fight the Bite” to prevent West Nile virus, which is transmitted by mosquitos, and most recently the “I am a Smoke Free Zone” campaign to discourage adults from smoking around children. Patty Boyd explained that public-health agencies, of which Tri-County is the largest in Colorado, focus not on treatment but on prevention on a large scale, for the good of society as a whole. John Suits, executive director of Centura Health’s Colorado Health Neighborhoods, said that’s a trend health-care models need to follow in order to lower costs. “My goal is to reduce hospital admissions,” he said. “Hospital CEOs get really nervous when I start talking like that. … But the old hospital model is dying on the vine.” His agency is signing up doctors — about 160 in Littleton alone so far, he said — to commit to the holistic, proactive model envisioned by Centura. Suits said it’s similar to the Kaiser Permanente model, but doctors remain independent. “Through health neighborhoods, we are moving past the `bricks and mortar’ model of health care delivered within the walls of our hospitals, which is associated with `sick care,’ and shifting the entire paradigm of traditional health-care delivery to focus more on keeping populations healthy,” reads the brochure. But from the free Littleton Clinic at Buck Recreation Center to the subsidized Doctor’s Care clinic to a nationally accredited breast-health center at Littleton Adventist Hospital, top-notch medical care is available to all income brackets in the city. Recently, South Metro Health Alliance was launched to connect the uninsured and underinsured population to resources, bringing together several organizations to better coordinate care. “SMHA convenes these organizations so they can work together through networking, sharing of resources and data, and taking action to help gain better access to health care for all in our community,” reads the group’s website.

Vogt talks at retreat about mending fences Littleton, America need more unity, he says By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton, notes Brian Vogt, is again at a crossroads, but one he feels much of the country faces today. “There’s just a little sense of disunity,” the executive director of Denver Botanic Gardens told Littleton Community Retreat attendees who gathered to hear his keynote address Oct. 18. “I’m not sure it’s just about Littleton. It might be about America.” The retreat, held in the mountains near Granby, drew dozens of Littleton leaders to start a conversation about nurturing the health not just of individual residents, but of the community as a whole. “What Littleton can work on now is what we’re really missing, and that’s core competency,” he said, adding that it’s also true for the country as a whole. “We need to make things leaner and meaner and better. It’s a big, bureaucratic, complex mess.” Vogt, executive director of the Denver Botanic Gardens, has had lots of experience building bridges throughout his career. He’s launched things as small as the annual Haunts of Littleton and as large as the whole city of Centennial, often alongside his friend John Brackney, who succeeded
Vogt as South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce executive director. This year, the two launched Common Sense Citizens, which they hope will grow into a national movement to fix government by ending polarization. “When did we lose our core civility?” Vogt wondered. “Why are we doing this to each other? We don’t mean it. … Let’s have fair fights, and then pat each other on the back.” Vogt grew up in Littleton and remembers well another time the city faced a challenge. He watched as the Flood of ‘65 swallowed the basement of his Ridge Road home, sparing the house but opening up a sinkhole in his back yard. He said not only was he personally excited to have a temporary swimming hole, the flood led to the creation of Chatfield Reservoir and South Platte Park. “Adversity turned into triumph for the city of Littleton,” he said. Times were different then, he notes, and Vogt has a theory about his baby-boomer generation. “We’re the most gifted generation in human history, and I don’t mean talented, I mean gifted.” That perhaps has led to a sense of entitlement, which he thinks might best be replaced by giving back. “A big part of our day should be about service,” he said. “Do something to lift somebody up so they can become a better
Brian Vogt, executive director of the Denver Botanic Gardens, addresses Littleton Community Retreat attendees on the subject of unity Oct. 18. Photo by Jennifer Smith contributor to the people in their lives.” Vogt told the group that work such as theirs offers an opportunity to break down barriers among factions in the community. “Littleton is a beautiful, wonderful place,” he said. “Is it perfect? No. And isn’t that great? Because it gives us a project, something to work on.” A co-founder of the Greater Littleton
Youth Initiative, which arose out of the trauma of Columbine, Vogt worked with other members of that group to quell controversies surrounding how to curb teen violence. “If people work in an environment that has big vision and big dreams and you get rid of old resentments … you can do anything,” he said.
Medical agencies agree on top three problems Gathering digs into data about mental, physical health By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Tri-County Health Department and Littleton Adventist Hospital recently undertook separate studies of the health of south-metro residents and agree on the top three most troubling issues: Access to care, obesity and mental health. “Data is information, but not necessarily knowledge,” said David Peters, retired community-outreach director for Centura Health/St. Anthony Hospital. Peters served as the researcher for the 2013 Littleton Community Retreat, held Oct. 18-19 at Snow Mountain Ranch near Granby. The theme was “Building a Healthy Community for All.” “There is reason to believe that just by coming together, we’ve already started that process,” organizer Amy Conklin
told the 45 attendees from throughout Littleton, including city staff, elected and appointed officials, representatives of various health agencies and the interested public. Peters said Littleton seems relatively healthy, though a lack of city-specific information caused him to rely mostly on county-level data. Littleton City Councilor Jim Taylor noted the city will be conducting its own survey in the near future. The biggest killer in Littleton by far is cancer, most commonly lung cancer. Next comes heart disease, accidents and Alzheimer’s disease. At the county level, cardiovascular trouble arising from obesity is the most troubling health issue. More than 17 percent of Arapahoe County residents report they do no regular daily physical activity, despite the large number of parks and extensive trail systems. Peters said the county’s suicide rate is high relative to the rest of the country, with nearly 18 per 100,000 adults dying by suicide every year. Lisa Traudt of Arapahoe/ Douglas Mental Health Network said men ages 35 to 65 are a growing concern in this area.

lem that integrates the interests of a diverse community. “We really want to expand the communication piece,” said Braaten. Peters led the “Make the Healthy Choice the Easy Choice” group. “It’s difficult, especially for people of low income and low means,” he said, noting that lack of transportation can affect access to healthy food, which is often more expensive than cheap, empty calories. The group wants to support education around food labeling, urge people to donate healthier items to food pantries, expand the use of South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s fitness van and more. Braaten noted that Littleton was the first city to join the LiveWell Colorado HEAL Cities and Towns Campaign. HEAL stands for “Healthy Eating, Active Living.” The program is designed to help city officials adopt policies that improve access to physical activity and healthy food. It’s a partnership between LiveWell Colorado and the Colorado Municipal League, funded through a grant from the state health department. Lisa Traudt of the Arapahoe/ Douglas Mental Health Network led the group focusing on mental-health and substance-abuse issues. A priority for its members is promoting

Photo by Jennifer Smith ADMHN’s Mental Health First Aid program, a two-day, 12-hour course that teaches everyday people how to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental illness, substance abuse and eating disorders. Attendees learn to assess issues, listen nonjudgmentally, give reassurance and encourage self-help to those who are in need. Traudt said the more people who take the class, the further it will go to lessening the stigma of people with mental illness. One in four people have been diagnosed with some form of a mental illness, she said, with bipolar disorder being the agency’s most common diagnosis. “I get goosebumps thinking about
all of the conversations over the last two days,” she said. “I’m blown away by the community acceptance and the passion that this community has to get out there and do something.” John Brackney, executive director of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, congratulated the 45 people who attended the retreat on a job well done. “It’s good that we’re here,” he said, referring to Snow Mountain Lodge near Granby, where the twoday retreat took place. “If we were home, half of us would be on our cell phones, and half of us would be off to other meetings. It’s important to concentrate together as a team.”
“What we know is that treatment works,” said Traudt. “It makes people’s lives livable.” ADMHN takes clients on a walk-in basis, regardless of whether they have insurance. Tri-County’s data show that nearly 20 percent of Arapahoe County residents do not, and more than 12 percent live below the poverty line. Conklin noted that Littleton is lucky to have so many resources, and so many people willing to come together to tackle tough issues. “Often our health is determined by the community we live in as well as our choices,” she said.

Amendment 66 is no easy sell Tax hike for schools generates opposition By Sandra Fish
I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS Teachers unions and several wealthy Coloradans are spending millions to convince voters to agree to almost $1 billion annually in higher income taxes devoted to public schools. But they face an uphill battle with an electorate that rarely agrees to increase taxes. And opponents of the measure say they’d like to spend at least $1 million in the fight, though the sources of that money likely won’t be revealed. Amendment 66 would raise the state income tax rate from 4.63 percent to 5 percent on the first $75,000 of taxable income and to 5.9 percent on taxable income beyond $75,000. It would be the first tiered income tax since a single tax rate was adopted in 1988. I-News Network at Rocky Mountain PBS and Maplight are teaming up on VotersEdge.org/Colorado, a website offering details about the proposal’s pros and cons, its funding and daily updates on news stories. The site also offers information on Proposition AA, which would place taxes on retail marijuana sales statewide. Amendment 66 would raise about $950 million a year in the first year and about $1 billion after that. And it would require that 43 percent of the state’s general fund go to pre-K-12 public schools. The initiative would fund a revamped school finance formula that would give more money to districts with higher proportions of at-risk and non-English speaking students, as well as increased funding for preschool and kindergarten students. It’s a more complex proposal than those in the past — including a 2011 effort that would have temporarily raised sales and income taxes for education, but lost with only 36 percent of the vote. “That was a temporary fix, and it didn’t have widespread initial support,” said Curtis Hubbard of the 2011 effort. Hubbard is a spokesman for Colorado Commits to Kids, the pro-Amendment 66 group that raised more than $7.7 million through Oct. 9.
Some have doubts
Despite promises that money will go to classrooms as specified by the Legislature’s Senate Bill 213, which revises the school
finance formula but will not take effect if Amendment 66 doesn’t pass, not everyone is convinced. Norma Anderson was in the state Legislature for 19 years, serving as both House and Senate majority leader. She was a key author of the 1994 school finance act, which would be replaced by Amendment 66, and she is still active in education efforts. A Republican, Anderson is one of the leaders of Coloradans for Real Education Reform, a primary opponent of the tax hike. “My concern on this, it’s a budget nightmare, and you’re tying up the general fund in the Constitution,” she said. “It’s too much money, and I’m not sure it’s going to the right places.” Hubbard counters that the bill changing the funding formula requires annual audits of spending, a website to allow the public to compare how money is spent and a returnon-investment study every four years. Backed by Gov. John Hickenlooper, at least 25 school districts and several local chambers of commerce, Colorado Commits to Kids spent more than $1.4 million to collect signatures to put the issue on the ballot, and is now spending on television advertisements, fliers and other strategies to support the initiative. That compares with $7,605 for Kids Before Unions and $14,500 for Coloradans for Real Education Reform. The Independence Institute, a libertarian Denver think tank, donated $10,800 to the latter group. An Independence Institute program, Kids Are First, is running television ads against Amendment 66. As a nonprofit, the organization doesn’t have to file disclosures with the Colorado Secretary of State. The Kids Are First donation page says it has raised $668,025 of a $1 million goal. “I’d love to spend $1 million,” said Jon Caldara, president of the Independence Institute, though he said some of the advertising is coming from the think tank’s general budget. “As a (nonprofit) organization, we don’t report to the secretary of state.”
Deep pockets
Backers of Amendment 66 are disclosing their donors, though, revealing some of Colorado’s deep pockets in campaign finance. The bulk of that money comes from large donors. Among them: The National Education Association gave $2 million through Oct. 9. The Colorado Education Association gave $2 million. Pat Stryker, the medical technology heir-
Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetics PHILADELPHIA — A team of doctors has found that a new formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives new hope to diabetics. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy.
Now at:
While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only 28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com. Cinnatrol is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-5811502.

Since voters approved the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights in 1992, they also must ratify any state or local tax increase, even if it’s to retain tax money that exceeds the TABOR financial formula. Of 16 funding proposals since 1993, voters have approved only five. One of those, Amendment 23 in 2000, didn’t increase taxes or fees — it simply required lawmakers to increase spending on K-12 schools. Two years ago, voters defeated an effort to raise income and sales taxes for five
years to fund education. Supporters hope that emphasizing benefits for individual school districts will sway voters this time around. On Oct. 12, supporters of Amendment 66 organized to campaign for the measure in 15 communities, including Greeley, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, Durango, Steamboat Springs and others. Carol Hedges, executive director of the Colorado Fiscal Institute, is optimistic about the 2013 proposal. “I think Amendment 66 is the best opportunity we’ve had to actually pass a measure that will provide additional funding for school reform,” she said. “The recession really underscored for people how important education is to economic opportunity.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS and works in collaboration with news media statewide.

Fail your way to success, experts say Audience at seminar hears bracing message By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Not only is failure an option, it’s a necessity, according to Recca Larson, economic intelligence specialist for the City of Littleton. “Failure as a concept can be kind of scary,” she told about 20 Littleton entrepreneurs during a free seminar Oct. 17. “But it’s an essential part of being in business.” Failure is gaining in popularity. There are lots of books about it and annual Failcon conferences all over the world, first conceived of in San Francisco by event planners Cass Phillipps and Diane Loviglio. “We both had produced or attended numerous events for the technology industry but had begun to realize things were starting to get repetitive,” they write on their website. “Events put successful entrepreneurs on stage to talk about how they made their company great, something that’s near-impossible to replicate and never about what they learned from mistakes along the way.” There’s even a museum dedicated strictly to the world’s least successful products — think bottled water for pets, McSpaghetti, Toaster Eggs and, perhaps the most famous, New Coke. Being successful all the time, says Larson, can lead to complacency and missing the signs of change in the industry or up-andcoming competition. Consider the demise of Toys `R’ Us after Amazon began selling more
than just books, or the struggles of Blockbuster movie rentals after Netflix began sending them right to your mailbox — without charging late fees. Larson says perhaps the wildly popular author JK Rowling said it best during her 2008 commencement speech at Harvard. She told the graduates that seven years after her own graduation, she was a single parent, poor, jobless and as close to homeless as you can get. “Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged,” she said. “I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realized, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.” But there are better ways to fail than others, adds Larson. Citing Tim Harford’s book “Adapt: Why Success Always Starts with Failure,” Larson advises business owners to be willing to fail a lot, because every attempt is an opportunity for success. But make sure you can survive a negative outcome, and realize early when something is failing and fix it fast. “Take a holistic view of what you need to do going forward,” she said. The city’s economic development department hosts such free seminars, complete with box lunch, on a fairly regular basis for Littleton businesses. The staff can also help with market research and strategy, mailing lists, location advice, navigating paperwork and much more, all at no charge.

Candidate’s background as developer tangled Watson’s company was involved in townhome project that ended in disarray By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com
John Watson, one of four candidates for two at-large Littleton City Council seats, is running on the experience he gained during his career as a developer. “I have experience in land development, which gives me the knowledge to understand the financial considerations involved in redeveloping those areas in Littleton which need redevelopment,” he wrote in an email to the Littleton Independent. But that career ended in a multimillion-dollar bankruptcy for his company, LoWatson cal Service Corp., in 2008 after he was ordered to pay a construction company about $1.8 million, though that amount was later settled da on for $100,000. “I’ve talked about this with my supporters,” Watson said Oct. 11. “They told me it was too remote in place and time, and it wouldn’t affect my ability to serve on city council.” The judgment arose from a 2002 dispute with Cal-Three, a company he was working on a townhome project with. According to court documents, he guaranteed a bank loan for the company in exchange for a share of the profit. He asserts Cal-Three stopped paying the loan and other costs associated with the project. When the first unit sold, Watson sent a request to the title company for his share of the profit, which the court found he inflated. Cal-Three did not pay him. In December 2002, Watson paid off the loan and forced the property into foreclosure. He obtained it at the sheriff’s sale and sold it for about $1.2 million. Cal-Three eventually sued, and won the sale amount plus punitive damages. Watson filed for bankruptcy shortly thereafter. He says it was a result of the tanking economy, not the judgment.
“We had 10 subdivisions under way, and almost all of our lenders were local and regional, and the feds started taking over,” he said. “They wouldn’t continue to fund construction loans, so they wouldn’t continue for the second year of the loans.” He also filed an appeal, which, in April 2011, upheld the findings of fact but disagreed with the amount Watson was ordered to pay. The court concluded that Watson had acted in bad faith and had deliberately breached contracts, but that he shouldn’t be held liable for punitive damages. It remanded the case back to a lower court to revisit the amount. But an agreement was reached in December 2011 that settled the bankruptcy and the civil case with Cal-Three after RTD paid about $3 million for a Denver property on Blake Street that Watson owned. Cal-Three got $100,000 from Watson’s bankruptcy estate. “There are no outstanding claims. There’s never been anything criminal. You can get more anonymous letters, but they won’t reveal anything factual,” he said, referring to a tip the Littleton Independent received on Oct. 10. The information in it was confirmed through official documents. In the middle of the civil case, the presiding judge filed a complaint against Watson, who has been an inactive attorney since 1992, with the Colorado Supreme Court Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel. The judge had ordered that the witnesses have no contact with each other, but Watson sent a fax recounting testimony to another witness. He says he didn’t know about the order, and that his attorney asked him to send the fax. Since he never renewed his license to practice law after it was suspended for 18 months in 1994, nothing further came of that complaint. According to the Colorado Supreme Court Grievance Committee, Watson had at least nine instances of private censure, official admonitions and suspensions on his record of practicing law between 1988 and 1994. They range from practicing without a license to conflict of interest to neglect. Watson maintains he quit practicing law in the late 1980s after a grievance was filed, and that he never renewed his license. “I’ve talked about my business a lot,” said Watson. “Whether it’s a strength or a fault, I’ll let the voters decide.”
C-470 expansion gets $100 million in funds CDOT funds to cover half the cost of construction By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com The first phase of the C-470 expansion project shifted into high gear this past week following the awarding of $100 million in RAMP funding on behalf of the Colorado Department of Transportation. The expansion project, which will add a managed toll express lane in each direction between Interstate 25 and Kipling Parkway, is the recipient of the largest amount of money among 44 statewide projects to receive Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships funds from CDOT this year. The funds, which were requested by Douglas County, will account for half the cost of the now-scaled-back project that is currently in the design phase. According to the county’s capital improvements projects manager, Art Griffith, the rest of the money will be funded by a combination of local, state and federal loans that will be paid back with toll revenue over the next 30 years. “They (CDOT) have a fairly aggressive schedule and would like to see all these
projects completed and open to traffic by January 2018,” Griffith said. For the C-470 expansion project, he said, it is likely to be in the design phase for much of 2014 and construction will start in 2015. The project, in addition to new lanes, will include the addition of a continuous auxiliary lane from Santa Fe Drive to University Boulevard and also involve the replacement of some existing infrastructure. “The ultimate plan was to add two managed lanes in each direction from Wadsworth to I-25, and one managed lane in each direction from Wadsworth to Kipling, but this RAMP project will require us to scale back and do an interim solution,” Griffith said. “The interim solution is adding one lane in each direction from I-25 to the Platte Canyon exit. There’s just not enough money to do the whole kit and caboodle right now. The ultimate plan is still to get managed lanes all the way to Kipling.” The C-470 Corridor coalition — made up of representatives from a variety of adjacent municipalities — spent two years studying how to finance the new lanes, finally reaching a decision in February that managed toll express lanes would be the way to go. Other options discussed included the implementation of sales or property tax increases within a to-be-determined taxing district as well as tolling all the lanes.

Puzzlement is a many-splendored thing There are one or two things I don’t understand. One or two thousand. Tops on my list is why a baseball manger wears a wristwatch in the dugout. Baseball is one of the few sports that isn’t timed. Golf is another one — but you only have so much time to hit your shot. There are clocks all over baseball stadiums. So why would you wear a wristwatch? It must be vanity, or superstition. I don’t have a single superstition. I wish I did. I embrace the number 13. I met my beloved on the 13th. I walk under all of the ladders I can find, and step on every sidewalk crack in the neighborhood. There’s another thing I don’t understand. It’s something that is going on right now. The James Holmes trial may last eight months. It should last eight minutes. “For the first time, lawyers for James Holmes have admitted he killed 12 people and wounded dozens more at an Aurora movie theater last summer,” the Denver Post reported. I don’t understand why more people don’t know who Nikola Tesla was. I don’t understand why they put headlight decals on NASCAR cars.
I don’t know why anyone would go to a fashion show. I don’t understand why athletes point to the sky after they get a hit. I don’t understand Pop Tarts or those scented, pine tree-shaped things you hang from your rearview mirror. How bad does it have to smell in your car before you hang a cardboard pine tree from the rearview mirror of a $20,000 car? I will never understand Birkenstocks and black socks worn at the same time.

letters to the editor ‘Trick questions’ on ballot
Our 2013 Littleton mail ballots have arrived with two trick questions. Trick Question 301: will constrain our city council, boards and commissions from negotiating about our community’s property and personnel assets in confidence and confidential executive session prior to, and in the interest of avoiding, lawsuits. 301 proponents claim it will “make government listen.” Anyone who has attended a council town hall, participated online in Littleton’s Inspire program, or attended a city public hearing, knows our council does listen … sometimes painfully. We elect council with the expectation they will protect our civic assets and do all they can in confidence to avoid damaging and expensive lawsuits. Vote NO on 301. Keep council working with confidence, even occasionally in the confidentiality of executive session, to protect and promote our civic assets. Trick Question 302: will negatively impact our homeownership and property rights. Littleton has a reliable and timetested land use/rezone process involving: review by city staff and neighbors; public hearing with our council-appointed city planning board; two hearings by council, all prior to council’s exercise of its authority to modify zoning, and only within the context the city’s comprehensive plan. Every residence within the city enjoys four representatives and voices on council; three at-large and their own district member. Ballot question 302 will allow a few,
perhaps only one, nearby property owners, apparently even owners of property outside but within 100 feet of city limits, to sidetrack this process with an arbitrary protest as late as only 24 hours prior to the city council vote on the change. Vote NO on 302’s erosion of our right to acquire, use and dispose of real property within the reliable, time-tested and proven, majority represented land use process we know and enjoy as Littleton homeowners and property-tax payers.

Consider reutzel for schools
It can be difficult to decide who to vote for in any election — much less a school board election. Littleton Public Schools is fortunate to have five qualified candidates vying for the three open LPS school board seats. Jack Reutzel is among the candidates running for LPS school board. I had the pleasure to work with Jack Reutzel for two years on the Goddard Accountability Committee. All schools within LPS have accountability committees, which meet monthly to discuss school issues including budgeting, testing, enrollment and other vital topics impacting their school. Jack was chair of the Goddard Accountability Committee both years I served. During my time on

I don’t know why evangelists dye their hair, or why they always have a Cheshire cat smile on their faces — maybe because they are richer than anyone in the audience? I don’t understand why women scream their brains out when Ellen is introduced. I don’t know why anyone would boo when an opposing pitcher throws to first, to hold the runner. It demonstrates an ignorance of the game. I don’t understand the national anthem. “Bombs bursting in air” does not arouse me to patriotism. I think Black Friday is monstrous.

How our values drive our lifetime success One of my very favorite things about being in the coaching, training, and learning and development industry is when I have an opportunity to meet and observe other trainers or facilitators, authors, and subject matter experts. I am sharing this with you because I had a wonderful opportunity to sit in on a session recently conducted by Peter Thomas. His career and accomplishments were extremely impressive, however his presentation was focused on values, and it was his passion and conviction around this topic that really captured my attention. Although he normally delivers the course over two days, the four-hour abbreviated version had a tremendous impact on me and how I see and define my own success. What are my values? What do I value most? Why do I value these things? Intuitively I have understood the importance of identifying my values and their relation to my success and have spent time identifying them in the past and even committing them to writing. Yet during this recent session with Peter Thomas I questioned and even challenged myself a little on how much emphasis I was placing on my own values and was I really living those values.

Typically when I teach a class or coach a client and we discuss values I hear words like honesty, integrity, family, knowledge, and other very nice words and strong values. So when I was tasked with working through my own, I came up with about 14 words or values. Then after thinking through them a little more I distilled the list down to seven values and found the other words and values fit better as sub-values or categories. If you don’t mind me sharing, here is what I do value: Faith, Family, Love, Trust, Kindness, Happiness, and Fitness. And the other values that fall somewhere under each one include: Togetherness, Compassion, Time, Quiet Time, Loyalty, Effort, Purpose, Commitment, Wisdom, Norton continues on Page 9

the committee I was continually amazed at Jack’s knowledge of the issues facing Goddard Middle School and LPS. I was also impressed with Jack’s ability to work with diverse groups, listening to all parties then bringing them together to arrive at a consensus that benefits all members of the organization. Jack currently serves on the Littleton Council on Teacher Effectiveness, which was created to align the district’s current system of supervision and evaluation for licensed personnel with Senate Bill 191 “Educator Effectiveness” signed into law in 2010. Senate Bill 191 has proven to be an extremely difficult mandate for the districts to address and Jack is bringing his wealth of knowledge of LPS and its unique issues to this important task. Jack was asked to serve on this council and I know it was in recognition of the value he brings to any organization lucky enough to have his involvement. The education of our children is important and we need to have a knowledgeable school board capable of working together to further the excellence of Littleton Public Schools. I encourage you to consider Jack Reutzel for LPS School Board. Sally Bernsten Littleton
Reutzel is right choice
Our community schools are important to me, both personally and professionally. My children have been in the LPS school system since kindergarten and are now both at Heritage and I am thankful every day for the strength of our schools. I’m also a RE/MAX agent and know that strong schools are one of the very top criteria for families considering the Littleton area. Jack Reutzel is the best candidate for the LPS school board. Jack’s passionate commitment to the strength of our school district is unrivaled. He knows that our community is only as strong as our schools, and that our award-winning schools need strong leadership to continue on a trajectory towards greatness. I’ve witnessed Jack’s commitment over the past ten years as he supported educational endeavors at Wilder Elementary, Goddard Middle, and Heritage High Schools. His thoughtful approach to problem solving has benefited all of the LPS schools as a member of principal search committees, accountability committees, and financial advisory committees. We

and Peace, with some of these falling under more than one major value. Have you considered what it is you really value and why? Success is different for everyone as some define success by status, money, achievements, and in many other ways. What if we looked at success and measured our success in relation to our values instead of our accomplishments or at least alongside of them? If we compromise our values to achieve status or things, are we truly successful? I know this sounds so philosophical or maybe you see it as wishful thinking.

Quality schools deserve support
We moved here nine years ago from the South and were thrilled to live in a place where we knew we could send our kids to a quality public school; we did not come from a community where that was possible. We looked at multiple districts, their performance, ratings, etc., and spoke to parents. We selected Littleton. We have never looked back and my boys are now in middle school. I have had the opportunity to work inside the district and get close to its leadership, processes and methods. I am incredibly impressed with not only how the district is run but also with the integrity of its staff, executives and board members. Most importantly, I see accountability. The detailed analyses and full-on work effort that has led to us voting on 3B is amazing. It was not just staff, it was citizens who volunteered to spend countless hours figuring out what was the most important to be repaired or upgraded at each school and to document and communicate those findings in a completely transparent way. There is no question that the dollars that are being requested are necessary to maintain the taxpayer’s assets, keep our kiddos safe, and make sure they can handle the technology that today’s students — and tomorrow’s — will use. All without a tax increase. I could not be any more proud to have my kids in Littleton. Let’s keep the tradition of excellence going! Please join me in voting YES on 3B! Heather Kelly Co-chair, Citizens For LPS Centennial
ineffective climate control units, roofs supported with temporary struts, cracked floors, and compacted and unsafe play fields. The need for these projects is real and in many cases urgent. The district budgets about $1.5 million per year for capital maintenance needs. At that rate, capital needs every year go unaddressed, and the district builds a backlog of projects. How can we pay for all these repairs? The options explored by the Financial Advisory Committee (on which I also serve) include using the district’s capacity to borrow (like a home equity loan), spending operational dollars and necessitating significant cuts in educational programs, or pledging district assets and incurring a higher borrowing cost through a Certificate of Participation. Members of the FAC agreed that the “home equity” strategy is the right method to fund these projects. Nothing in life is free. Careful management of the district’s existing debt has created an opportunity to borrow the funds without increasing the tax rate paid. The existing tax rate would extend, and homeowners would forgo a slight tax decrease: approximately $1 per month for each $100,000 of home value, or about $48 per year for a $400,000 home. Keeping our schools safe and productive for learning will help support all our property values; forgoing a tax decrease of $50 per year is a good investment. All of the funds would stay in LPS. We can and should do better for our kids. Join me and vote yes on 3B this fall. Jim Stephens Centennial

I urge local voters to vote yes on ballot question 3B. 3B will enable critical repairs to our Littleton Public Schools. I served this year as a citizen member of the district Capital Improvement Planning Committee (CIPC). This summer the CIPC toured all the district schools. We saw leaking roofs in classrooms, loud and
marijuana businesses and consumers are already higher than any other industry due to the inability of these businesses to take full deductions. Proposition AA would be the highest tax increase in Colorado history, a reckless experiment that would create a dysfunctional market for marijuana, undermining the goal of the “Alcohol-Marijuana Equalization Initiative” (Amendment 64). As a framer and supporter of Amendment 64, the purpose of the measure was to bring marijuana out of Prohibition and regulate it like alcohol. Colorado’s alcohol industry pays less than 1 percent in state excise taxes. Prohibition does not work. Excessive taxes are another form of Prohibition. The pro-tax campaign is supported by what Jacob Sullum of Reason magazine has accurately labeled “The Marijuana Cartel,” i.e. large dispensaries and drug dealers that use burdensome and expensive government regulation and taxation to suppress fair competition from smaller businesses. The Pro-Tax campaign is running a campaign of fear, alleging that the U.S. Department of Justice wants high taxes on marijuana. I recently asked the U.S. attorney for Colorado, John Walsh, whether he supported Colorado Proposition AA, and he responded that the U.S. Department of Justice did not endorse Proposition AA. An Aug. 29 memo from the U.S. Department of Justice providing official guidance regarding marijuana does not even mention local or state taxes on marijuana, but does mention an enforcement system that is “effective in practice.” Excessive taxes create a dysfunctional system that is “ineffective in practice,” and creates a marijuana market ripe for takeover by the unregulated, untaxed, underground market. Proposition AA would re-establish Prohibition and drive marijuana back underground, to the detriment of all Coloradans. Please vote “No” on Proposition AA.

Baby, now that was suspenseful Media madness or a pregnant pause, perhaps? Was KOSI radio/9News personality Denise Plante pulling a prank on thousands of Facebook friends when she posted a picture of a pregnancy-testing stick she allegedly used on Oct. 16? She let the drama play out as she posted evolving pictures of the stick as it was turning positive or negative. She even snagged 9News medical expert Dr. John Torres to witness the gag. “Am I pregnant? We will soon find out, Dr. John Torres from @9News is in the house!” Plante posted. The plot thickened with pictures of the stick as it revealed her pregnancy status. And the “results?” “Turns out, I’m just a moody momma. Not pregos ... good news for (husband) Michael Plante.”

BOO-in Imaginatively dressed little ghouls and goblins came out early to celebrate Halloween at South Suburban’s annual Spooktacular, held Oct. 18 at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial. The event, which drew nearly 600 participants, provided safe, supervised fun for children up to 11 years old. Among the activities at this year’s Halloween extravaganza: the Little Spook House, Trick or Treat Street, the Cookie Walk and Spooktoddler musical chairs.

Pearly gates await … and await Dark tale has lots of funny lines By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com While “Vigil” focuses on a dark story — a misanthropic man waiting for his aunt to die — the play, written by Canadian Morris Panych, is filled with funny lines and situations, enhanced by two terrific actors, Patty Mintz Figel (Grace) and Larry Hecht (Kemp). Cherry Creek Theatre presents its productions at the gorgeous Shaver-Ramsey Showroom, surrounded by exotic rugs — old and new — a setting used by designer Richard Pegg to enhance the look of each production. The company is remounting a play these actors performed elsewhere seven years ago, also under the direction of versatile Billie McBride. Lights focus on a bedroom, upstairs in an older home. In the bed, centrally placed, is an elderly lady — with an amazingly ex-
pressive face and eyes. Figel only speaks two words in Act I, but the audience can read her thoughts, from the first moment that the bell rings, the door downstairs opens and there are approaching footsteps on the stairs. A large man with a suitcase appears. She looks terrified. It’s Kemp, played to the hilt by veteran actor Hecht, who says he’s quit his job at a second-rate savings and loan to come and stay with her while she dies. He has received a letter from her saying she’s dying and there is no one else in the family. (Nor does he have anyone else.) “I didn’t expect you’d be glad to see me,” he observes. Does she want to be cremated? Figel’s face registers fear and then puzzlement. “I spoke to a funeral director,” he says the next day as the frilly apron-clad Kemp delivers a tray with butterscotch pudding. “You don’t need recorded music.” Ongoing criticism of his aunt for not having his picture anywhere — “I sent you one when I had the mumps” — nor coming to visit him, is mingled with bitter memories of a conflicted childhood and adolescence — he had gender issues and was bul-
lied by schoolmates. Now a bellicose IF YOU GO middle-aged man “Vigil” Plays at with no friends, he Cherry Creek Theatre, is at once nasty and at Shaver-Ramsey funny.

Congrats to Lakewood High School for winning the “Good Morning America” contest to have Katy Perry perform a song at their high school! More than 2,000 Lakewood High students lip-synched to Perry’s hit song, “Roar,” as part of the school’s video entry. Perry announced the winner on “Good Morning America” Oct. 18. “For me Lakewood really embodied a whole school spirit. You saw so many different people coming together to do one shot,” Perry said Friday. “It was so interesting and so well done.” Amazingly, the video was shot in one take and has been viewed on Vimeo more than 564,000 times and earned 246,000 views on YouTube. 7News first reported the news. Perry will perform at Lakewood High — the home of the Tigers (how’s that for some cosmic karma!) — on Oct. 25 and will be broadcast on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Proceeds from the concert reportedly will go to the Colorado flood relief effort.

Strings restrung
I’ve been back to Strings once since owner Noel Cunningham died. Since his wife, Tammy, opted to close the place (running a restaurant is not her thing) the building on 17th Avenue and Humboldt had stood like a monument to a time when the restaurant was frequented by celebrities from stage and screen, along with loyal locals. When it was announced that there would be new life stirring in that space with the occupation of Humboldt Farm — Fish — Wine, a Rock Bottom founder Frank Day project, I, for one, was happy to hear of the rebirth. Humboldt opened recently under the leadership of Concept Restaurants. “From the instant our guests walk in and have that `wow moment’ to the time they leave, we want to make sure their experience here is spectacular and memorable,” said Concepts designer Dianna Lynn. “Whether you are on top of the Denver foodie scene or visiting Humboldt for the first time and looking for an amazing dining experience, we are a welcoming place for everyone.” Parker continues on Page 23

It’s all about the sports in this show Avenue Theater puts fun production on stage By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “ASTN Sports Network,” it says on the backdrop, and underneath there are pennants and a trio of desks on the small Avenue Theater stage. It’s time for a performance of “Complete World of Sports (Abridged)” written by the group who first produced “Compleat Works of Shakespeare (Abridged)” some years ago, where the works of the Bard are dispatched in two hilarious hours. Enter Damon Guerrasio, Eric Mather
and Steven J. Burge to assure you that they will talk about every sport ever played in less than two hours. (And some you may not have heard about.) There will be nine categories, played on seven continents — from then until now … And they’re off in a cloud of dust for an evening of well-timed physical comedy and clever spins on network sportscasters and athletes. They alternate between announcing and playing sports themselves, changing costumes — and the subject — at lightning speed. When announcing, they have the rhythm and manner of the guys you hear broadcasting Sunday games. When they’re demonstrating how to play, it’s silly and great fun.
“Stick and ball sports” are discussed; golf, ice hockey, tennis. And baseball — so boring it puts Mather to sleep, although he’s assured “there’s a lot going on you can’t see.” Our trio, directed by the skilled Bob Wells, makes a quick visit to Ancient Greece and the Simpsons and to the Roman Empire (archery, curling,) In A.D. 1604, Elizabethans were bear-baiting and Ophelia failed her swimming test. We visit Aborigines in Australia for boomerang throwing and Guerrasio in South America with the invention of basketball — with a human head. In America, circa 1776, “they took the game of lacrosse as their own.” Bagpipes and Scottish golfers appear. Is golf a game or a sport? Answer: “They show
it on ESPN.” IF YOU GO This trio of skilled comics con“The Complete tinued a high-enerWorld of Sports” plays gy, precisely timed through Oct. 26 at the routine that gets to Avenue Theater, 417 the Olympics and a E. 17th Ave., Denver. Parade of Nations, Performances: 7:30 which involved enp.m. Thursday, Friday, listing a few game Saturday. Tickets: $26. audience members. 303-321-5925, avenuThe degree of backetheater.com. stage organization that kept the costumes coming was extraordinary. This show is fun for the sports fan and the non-sports fan and only runs through this weekend.

EAGLES RALLY BACK, BEAT SABERCATS Heritage defender Steven Gray tackles the Castle View quarterback for a loss in an Oct. 18 league football game. The Eagles came back to win the game, 14-6. Photo by Tom Munds
Heritage raises record to .500 with Castle View victory By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Heritage spotted Castle View six points then roared back to score a 14-6 victory in the Oct. 18 Prairie League game. “We are a very young team but we are learning and getting better every week,” Mike Griebel, Eagles coach, said of his team. “We have improved so much since the start of the season and our kids battle hard every game. They don’t quit. They just keep battling no matter the score.” Heritage is now 4-4 overall and 3-2 in the Prairie Conference. On Oct. 24, they are at home to face Fountain-Fort Carson, a team that is also 4-4 overall but is 4-1 in con-
ference and one of the teams tied for first place. The teams prefer to run the football, and they have similar season rushing statistics. Heritage is averaging 234.1 yards rushing a game, while the Trojans are averaging 238.9 yards a game. Eagle senior Rob Sublette is the No. 2 rusher in the league, as he has gained 881 yards, while Fountain-Fort Carson’s Drue Harris in No. 3 in rushing, gaining 748 yards. Heritage quarterback Mikey Griebel is the fourth-leading rusher, as he has gained 566 yards carrying the ball. The Oct. 18 Heritage-Castle View game was a back-and-forth contest early as neither team was able to mount a sustained attack. Castle View came into the game with a balanced attack, rushing for about 144 yards a game and passing for an average of 128 yards a game. Christopher Linnin came
into the game as the team rushing leader, averaging 84.4 yards a game, while Bennett Howland is the tackle leader, averaging seven a game. The Sabercats got on the scoreboard late in the first period when quarterback Trevor Smeeton completed a 55-yard pass to Charles Sims for the touchdown. The extra point failed and Castle View led 6-0 at the end of the quarter. The score remained unchanged until there was about two minutes left in the second period, when Andrew Shaffer ran the ball into the end zone from two yards out for a Heritage touchdown. Will Herzl kicked the extra point so the Eagles led 7-6. The seesaw battle continued through the entire third quarter, with each team seeking unsuccessfully to mount a successful scoring attack. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles got a
drive going and pushed deep into Sabercat territory, and with about 11 minutes left in the game, Griebel scored for the Eagles on a one-yard quarterback sneak. The extra point was good. Castle View did get inside the Eagles 20 late in the game but were kept out of the end zone as Heritage won, 14-6. The Eagles rolled up 148 yards rushing. Sublette was the rushing leader as he carried 18 times for 61 yards. Heritage passed for 96 yards. Dalton Thorpe was the leading receiver as he made three catches for 54 yards. Defensively, the Eagles were tough. They sacked the Castle View quarterback seven times. Steven Gray was the tackle leader as he brought down runners solo and made six assists. His tackles included two sacks that cost the Sabercats 30 yards. Teammate Conner Cain had a pair of sacks for a minus 14 yards.
Lions lose tough volleyball match Littleton coach says team is better than record By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The play of the Littleton High School volleyball team gave its fans a lot to cheer about even though the Lions lost the Oct. 15 match to Regis, 3-0. “We are a good team even though we haven’t won many matches. We have talented players who battle hard on every play. Despite the fact we play solid games, wins have been hard to come by,” Lions coach Margaret Whalen said before the Oct. 15 game. “This is a tough league and we are one of the smallest schools in the league, playing against teams from schools twice our size. We ignore that, and I am proud of our team because, while we haven’t
won many matches, our team has played hard and been close in just about every game this season.” The Lions and prep volleyball are in the home stretch of the season. Littleton closed out the regular schedule Oct. 17 at Castle View, then will close out the season by hosting a tournament Oct. 25 and 26. So far, the teams coming to the tournament are Fairview, Fruita, Montbello and Poudre, with expectations more teams will sign up before the bracket is finalized. The first round will begin at 4 p.m. Oct. 25 and the Oct. 26 action will begin at 8 a.m. with all matches played at Littleton High School, 199 E. Littleton Blvd. Judging by statistics, the Oct. 15 Littleton-Regis match appeared to be one-sided, since the Lions are 4-13 on the season and Regis is 15-2 overall and atop the league with a 9-0 record. But the play in the Lions-Raiders match didn’t reflect the difference in season won-loss records.
The home fans cheered loud as Lions players blocked Raider kill attempts, made digs by diving to keep the play going by preventing the ball from hitting the floor, or slammed spikes across the net to score points. A team wins a game by scoring 25 points, but must win by two points. A match can go to five games, but the first team to win three games wins the match. In the first game, the Lions built an early lead, but Regis tied the score at 23-23. The seesaw battle continued with teams exchanging points until the Raiders finally won 28-26. The Raiders took an early lead in the second game and, despite a determined Lions comeback effort, won the game, 25-18. The third game was another hard-fought battle. Like in the other two games, there was great play on both sides of the net and Lions continues on Page 19

Regis edged ahead and won the deciding game, 25-22. “This is kind of how the season has gone. We played hard, we worked hard but just couldn’t get those points needed to win,” the coach said after the game. She said the strength of her team is the senior leadership and the ability to control the ball when it is on the Lions’ side of the net. She said her senior leaders include Sami Wong, Natasha Habert, Sela Tharan and Emily Gramer. Since Oct. 15 was senior night, the four players were hon-

Canyon was second in the team standings. Cherry Creek captured both the boys and girls titles in the Oct. 17 Region 2 meet at Aurora Sports Park.

ored before the match as they were crowned with pink tiaras, given blow-up volleyballs with their names on them and gift bags. Tharan, a recognized team leader, said after the match that it has been a fun but difficult season because the Lions haven’t won a lot of games. “We don’t have a lot of wins but I am very proud of our team,” she said. “Everyone has worked very hard to get better and we have come a long way toward being the volleyball team we want to be.” Tharan said she started playing volleyball in the first grade and it quickly became her favorite sport. “I think my strength as a play-

er is my passion for the game and my leadership by example,” she said. “People have told me they haven’t seen a player get after the game like I do. I guess that is because I love volleyball so much and it shows in how I play the game.” She said there is so much to love about the sport that inspires her passion, like the fun of making a perfect set, diving to dig a hard hit up before it hits the floor and making a block against another team’s attempt to drive the ball and score a point. The senior said she would love to play college volleyball, but is still undecided where she wants to go to continue her education and hopefully continue her volleyball career.

of their last games of the regular season. The first set was close as they fell 28-26. They lost the second set 25-18 and the third 25-22. Middle Hitter Haley Hanna led the team with seven kills and was named Player of the Match.

Brewery getting ready to launch
Holiday bazaar set for Malley Center
First beers at Grist to be poured Nov. 2
About 90 vendors will display goods
By Ryan Boldrey
By Tom Munds
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com The first brews have been sampled and the grand opening is right around the corner for Highlands Ranch’s very first craft brewery. Grist Brewing Co., located across Town Center Drive from Shea Stadium at 9150 Commerce Center Circle, will open its doors to the public at noon, Nov. 2. “We’ve had a lot of walk-ins, people curious about whether we are open already,” said brewer/operator Rob Kevwitch. “It seems like there is a pretty good buzz out there. I will be happy when I don’t have to turn people away anymore.” The brewery, which will be open seven days a week, will have six beers on tap for the opening. They include the Staple India Pale Ale, Transition State Kolsch, Touch Line Brown, Niobrara Stout, Third Ring Belgian Strong Ale and Window Tour Hefeweizen. There will be four-ounce taster sizes available for purchase for all six selections, 10-ounce snifters of the Belgian Strong, pints of the rest, and 64-ounce growlers of all. “We are hitting all the notes with the opening,” said brewer Dustin Dahl. “We have everything from light to dark to strong, so there is a little something for everybody. We’ll be keeping it true to style with each of the brews but with our own little twist.” The brewery is all about local, said

The Malley Holiday Bazaar could be the answer to the question of where to find a nice gift for hard-to-buy-for persons on the holiday list, as more than 90 vendors display a wide variety of artisan-made items. The bazaar will be held from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Nov. 2 at the Malley Senior Recreation Center, 3380 S. Lincoln St. As in years past, the Malley center will undergo its annual transformation from a facility to exercise, take classes or eat lunch into the one-stop shopping place for cool holiday gifts. Expectations are that artisans will offer a variety of items. The majorities of items are made by vendors and can include hand-knitted items and handmade jewelry. Also, in past years there have been a variety of holiday decorations that have ranged from artisancreated holly wreaths with a Broncos theme to hand-made ornaments painted with classic winter scenes. While the decorations may be different, expectations are that there will be a wide variety of holiday decorations and holidaythemed items available this year. The bazaar history dates back to the late 1960s when the event was first held on the same November Saturday as the Englewood Parade. While there is no longer an Englewood Parade, the Malley Holiday Bazaar remains alive, well and thriving.

GALLERY OF GAMES & weekly horoscope
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
GALLERY OF GAMES
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A colleague might offer to open a door for you professionally. But before you walk through it, be sure this “favor” isn’t attached to an obligation you might find difficult to discharge. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your creativity, your persistence and your reliability could lead to a major career shift. Be sure to use that other Taurean trait, your practicality, when discussing what the job offers. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A changing situation might require some adjustments you might not have been prepared to make. However, flexibility in this matter could be the best course to follow at this time. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You’re in a period of fluctuating moods, which is not unusual for the Moon Child. Your emotions stabilize by the 25th. Meanwhile, try to hold off making major decisions until then. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) That keen sense of perception helps you hunt down those minute details that others overlook. And, of course, your Leonine ego will accept the expected praise with good grace. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Be careful not to be confrontational when raising a work-related issue. Better to make a request than a demand. And, of course, be prepared to back up your case with facts. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your ego might be hurt when a colleague turns down your offer to help. But accept it as a rejection of your offer, not of you. A friend from the past could re-emerge by week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A flow of positive energy turns a work project you didn’t want to do into something you actually love doing. Now, take that attitude into your social, intimate life -- and enjoy what follows. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Working hard to meet your professional goals is fine. But don’t neglect your private life, especially where it concerns your more cherished relationships. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) “Patience” remains the key word in dealing with an emotionally sensitive situation involving a close friend or family member. Help comes your way by week’s end. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) With new information coming in, it’s a good time to rethink some of your goals without taking suggestions from others, no matter how well-meaning they might be. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Making progress on your project is relatively easy in the early part of the week. A problem could arise midweek. But all goes swimmingly once it’s resolved. BORN THIS WEEK: Holding fast to your principles, no matter what, inspires others to follow your example. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Budget Continued from Page 1
who live here, and they take care of the businesses that are here … you wouldn’t have to go out and get a trumpet to talk about it,” said Jack Randall. Councilor Jerry Valdes agreed, but noted competition from surrounding communities is getting more intense. “I do think the city needs to play a role without interfering,” he said. Councilor Peggy Cole got no support for amendment that would have deleted it from the budget. She said although she initially was a big supporter of the idea, she wanted to see a more detailed job description. Councilor Bruce Beckman agreed, but wants to move forward while ensuring council is involved in the efforts. He noted that Trader Joe’s looked hard at Littleton but ended up selecting a location just over the border, at University Boulevard and Orchard Road. “I wondered who was out there telling Littleton’s story,” he said.
Mayor Debbie Brinkman agreed. “I don’t want people to go across borders to attend an event that really should be happening here,” she said. “If we want to continue to do the best we can with what we have, then we’re going to continue to do exactly what we’re doing.” Things are looking up overall, according to the unanimously approved budget. The city expects to take in about $52.5 million next year, a 4.2 percent increase over what it expects to take in this year. Sales and use taxes, the city’s major revenue source, are expected to near $28 million in 2014, up from a recent low of about $22 million in 2010. Most of the general fund goes to personnel expenses, which will be about $38 million in 2014. The budget allows a 3 percent increase for city employees, though a citizens’ committee is in the process of reviewing how it would be distributed to remain a competitive employer. Residents will see a 2 percent jump in their sewer rates in 2014 to offset future improvements that will be required by state and federal regulations. Library late fees will also go up, from a dime to 20 cents a day. Lit-
tle’s Creek Park’s lake will be dredged, the Littleton Community Trail will be extended to Littleton Boulevard and another $1 million would be allotted to South Platte River projects. The council chambers and city manager’s office will be remodeled, at a cost of about $194,000. New programs the budget creates include an expansion of business revitalization grants from $50,000 to $75,000 and a neighborhood partnership program. “Projections show that without new or expanded revenues, expenditures will continue to increase faster than the growth in revenues,” Penny wrote in the document. “With this challenge, we continue reviewing our operations for efficiencies and improvements, and to find better ways to provide our services within the constraints we face. This year’s budget sets the stage for a comprehensive conversation which is based upon a fiscally sound plan allowing the city to discuss and address community priorities, support essential services, continue to invest in our staff resource and provide for continued investment in capital improvements.”
