GOBLIN IT UP

Niki Adams and Sarge had a great time at the National Pit Bull Awareness Day Parade of Pit Bulls, held Oct. 26 in downtown Littleton.

Hundreds of little butterflies, SpongeBobs, superheroes, strawberries, princesses and every other costume imaginable were joined by a posse of pit bulls downtown Littleton Oct. 26. The Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants’ Goblin Giveaway lured families there for trick-or-treating. The dogs were there for the annual National Pit Bull Awareness Day Parade of Pit Bulls, and many wore costumes as cute as the ones on the kids.

A Littleton police officer pleaded guilty and faces up to 20 years behind bars for planning to sell Ecstasy pills. Jeffery Allan Johnston, 46, of Parker, entered a guilty plea Oct. 28 to one count of possessing Ecstasy with intent to distribute and one count of being a prohibited person in possession of firearms. He is scheduled to be sentenced Johnston by U.S. District Court Judge Philip A. Brimmer in February. Johnston was arrested after the FBI learned from an unidentified source that Johnston was selling MDMA out of his Parker home. He was taken into custody in July after buying 37 pills and 6.3 grams of Ecstasy powder from an undercover officer. A federal search warrant was executed at the home, where agents found a stainless steel Colt Officers Model .45-caliber pistol with seven rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. It was found above the kitchen drawer that contained the drugs. Investigators eventually discovered a small amount of cocaine, steroids, hundreds of prescription pills, additional firearms, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in the Drugs continues on Page 8

South Platte River’s facelift going forward Changes will stretch from C-470 north By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The workflow continues on the South Platte River, with the next phase of improvements set to begin in January. “We’re trying to get it to be more of a creek inside a river,” explained Ben Nielsen of McLaughlin Whitewater Design Group, which is consulting on the project. The first phase, the portion of the river that runs through South Platte Park, wrapped up in June at a cost of $880,000. Features were added to create a more meandering path in some places, and the banks were stabilized. The river was narrowed from 100 feet across to 40, in turn deepening it. All the enhancements were POSTAL ADDRESS

designed to maintain flood protection while improving the living conditions for fish and other wildlife. The same will occur in phase two, from the Meadowood mobile-home community upstream to South Platte Park, at an expected cost of $1.1 million. The third and last phase, from Mineral Avenue upstream to C-470, should start in November of next year and cost $2.6 million. Arapahoe County and the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District are the major funders, but they’re joined by the cities of Littleton and Englewood, the Colorado Water Conservation Board and South Suburban Parks and Recreation District. The goal is to cure ailments caused by the construction of Chatfield Dam, built after the major flood in 1965. The once-rushing flow of the river is now controlled by the release of water from River continues on Page 8

Users give greenway high marks More enforcement of rules possible By Jennifer Smith

Victorian era comes to life

Oct. 26 was a gorgeous fall day to visit Littleton Museum for its Victorian Halloween celebration on the 1890s farm, and the colors of the vegetation surrounding the lake were stunning. Kids got to play games from the era, such as milkbottle toss and walking on stilts, and get a look at the new yoke of oxen, Fitz and Ford, that will be trained to help farm the field of the 1860s farm. For information on upcoming events, such as the Victorian Holiday Eve planned for Dec. 8, call 303-795-3950 or go to www.littletongov.org.

People who use the Mary Carter Greenway trail love it and generally like each other, a new study shows. “People are pretty happy with what’s happening out there,” said Josh Mehlem, a senior designer with Alta Planning and Design, especially with its natural beauty, good maintenance, safety and access to the larger network of trails. The city of Littleton and South Suburban Parks and Recreation paid Alta about $45,000 to study the safety of the trail, which gets more than a million visits each year. Alta surveyed almost 200 trail users, most of whom visit four or more times a week, and found that 93 percent rate their experiences as good or excellent, and 73 percent are happy with the etiquette displayed on the trail. “That’s a pretty high satisfaction rate,” said SSPR board member John Ostermiller during a joint meeting with Littleton City Council Oct. 22. “The other 7 percent, I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to convince them.” The two entities launched a “Be Cool: Share the Path” campaign last spring to remind people on the trail to look out for each other. In June, the city held an awareness event, handing out bells, dog leashes and other goodies. “We want to create an environment

that’s a little bit more friendly,” said Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman. The top three concerns people reported were bicyclists going too fast, people with headphones who can’t hear when someone is coming up behind them, and people walking dogs with either no leash or a leash that’s too long. “We already have laws against retractable leashes,” noted Councilor Jim Taylor. “We need to have a big campaign on how to retrain humans about those.” The most common improvements trail users wish for are more way-finding signs, a wider path and enforcement of the 15 mph speed limit. “I don’t think this campaign is going to be one they will really, frankly, care about without some kind of enforcement piece,” said Sue Rosser, SSPR board member. The city began ticketing speeding bicyclists after a cyclist died in a head-on collision on the trail in 2003. The managing agencies also painted a centerline, built a separate crusher-fine path for pedestrians and installed bicycle roundabouts at problem points. Dave Lorenz, SSPR executive director, said there will be more park rangers in South Platte Park next summer to ramp up enforcement. Littleton City Manager Michael Penny added that by spring, the city will have a mobile application residents can use to report a variety of things instantaneously, including hazards on the trail. Alta recommends continuing the education campaign, improving some access points and monitoring speeds to prioritize future improvement projects.

‘Walking with the Dead’ is creepy tour Museum event blends facts with frights By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com On a dark and stormy night, the dead walked the grounds of Littleton Museum. OK, none of that was true. It was the end of a glorious fall day Oct. 26, and they were just museum volunteers portraying characters long gone by during the “Walking with the Dead” tour of the 1860s farm. They brought to life the likes of Sleepy Hollow’s Ichabod Crane and the Fox sisters, who inadvertently created the spiritualism movement in the 1840s by convincing people they could communicate with their dead loved ones — for a price, of course. “Even when the Fox sisters admitted it was a hoax, people still believed,” said tour guide Jennifer Barnett. Then there were local charlatans like undertaker E.P. McGovern, who was hired in 1893 to remove the remains from what was then a cemetery to make way for what is now Denver’s Cheesman Park. He was paid $1.90 a body, and soon realized he could make more money by chopping up adults and placing their pieces in childsize coffins. “It was a messy process,” said guide Jennifer Woeste. According to the Legends of America website, neighbors began to report sad and

Photo by Jennifer Smith confused looking spirits knocking at their doors and windows, and moans coming from the park. It’s said that these restless spirits remain today, with many visitors experiencing feelings of unexplainable sad-

ness and hearing whispering voices and moans. What’s for sure, though, is that the job was never finished, and skeletons still occasionally turn up. Cheesmanpark.net says

it’s likely there are still thousands below the surface. The “ghost” of a wealthy but stranded traveler who was murdered in Franktown in 1871 also visited the museum during the tour. It perhaps was looking for two of the men who murdered him in a cabin quite similar to the museum’s 1860s log cabin, where Woeste told his story. The MacIntyre family graciously took the traveler in, fed him a hearty stew and then as he slept, stabbed him to death and robbed him. Several days later, a posse seized the elder McIntyre and his two sons after finding the dead man’s body. The sons confessed to the killing and told the posse their father was not involved. But only one son was hanged, as the other had slipped away with his father, never to be seen again. The tour was educational as well as eerie. A lesson on death photography revealed that glycerin could be used to plump up a deflating eyeball, and glue applied to keep the lids open. But the demonstration went awry when the photographer tried to show the visitors how to insert a spoon into the deceased’s eyes to hold them open, and his very much alive assistant suddenly became uncooperative. Before the evening was over, visitors would encounter a roaming scarecrow, gates dangling from trees and other oddities. “Pranks were enormously popular,” said Woeste.

City balks at park foundation request Board must offer specifics before receiving funding By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton City Council declined the South Suburban Park Foundation’s annual request for $100,000 on Oct. 23, instead asking its board to return with specific requests as projects get under way. “I have some concern over writing a $100,000 check that we have no idea what it’s going to go for, and I also have some concern that we wrote a $100,000 check in 2009 that’s in your bank account, not ours,” said Mayor Debbie Brinkman. She was referring to money designated for the Big Dry Creek Trail, specifically for

a connecting bridge behind Littleton High School. But, said board member Dale Flowers, the community did not want the bridge, so the money is still waiting to be used elsewhere on the trail. City Manager Michael Penny explained to the SSPF board that council’s decision reflected a change in policy, even across city departments, toward keeping money in the bank until there’s a solid plan for it. “I think if we had a staff, that would work real well,” said board member Bev Bradshaw. “But we don’t have a staff. … We don’t have planners.” Council did approve a $20,000 contribution toward the foundation’s administration costs, which amount to about $55,000 a year for a part-time director, office supplies, marketing and miscellaneous items.

Most grants can’t be used for such expenses, so the foundation has to rely on participating municipalities and the generosity of the public. “But there’s no way Joe Blow riding his bike out there is going to give us $100,000,” said Flowers. SSPF was spearheaded in 1979 by Mary Carter, then the mayor of Bow Mar, to support open-space projects in the south-metro area. Today its focus is on completing the network of trails, particularly east-west connections. “Some people think gosh, the trails are so busy now,” said Bradshaw. “But isn’t that a wonderful problem to have, that you build trails and people use them?” She said having more would likely lighten the load on others. SSPF’s big project right now is in Cen-

tennial, linking deKoevend Park on University Boulevard to Holly Park on Colorado Boulevard. But it hasn’t forgotten about the Littleton Community Trail, which will run along the City Ditch and complete a circle around the city. It’s been a goal for several years, as the city has worked with various entities to acquire land. “One of the great successes we’ve had is bringing groups together that don’t necessarily want to work together,” said Flowers. Entities that support the foundation include South Suburban Parks and Recreation and its member cities, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District and many more. “Littleton has been a great partner and carried probably more than our fair share,” said Brinkman.

Veterans Day ceremonies scheduled Littleton, Fort Logan hold Nov. 11 events By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Two Veterans Day ceremonies, one in Littleton and one at Fort Logan National Cemetery, will be held at 11 a.m. Nov. 11, honoring veterans and those serving in the military. The Littleton ceremony will be held at the World War II memorial at Ketring Park, 6000 S. Gallup St. Fort Logan National Cemetery is at 3698 S. Sheridan Blvd.

The Littleton ceremony is sponsored by Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and George C. Evans American Legion Post 103. The guest speaker is Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman. In a separate Veterans Day event at 1 p.m. at Littleton’s St. Mary Catholic School, the Knights of Columbus will present the school a plaque in memory of Pat Hannon, who was the first Littleton resident to die in Vietnam. The ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery are sponsored annually by District 10, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, and are held in the open area adjacent to the lake and at the base of the main flagpole. There will be a VFW honor guard representing many of

the metro-area VFW and American Legion posts to present the colors as well as the flags from their posts. Veterans Day speakers at Fort Logan include Congresswoman Diana DeGette (DDenver) and Sara Elton, chief of operations of the Memorial Service Network, Denver. The event includes placing a ceremonial wreath and flowers at a headstone symbolic of the thousands of headstones in the cemetery. The wreath placement is followed by the traditional 21-gun salute. As the last volley is fired, an array of horn players stationed around the lake will play the echo version of “Taps.” When the Fort Logan ceremony ends, lunch will be served at Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644, 2680 W. Hampden Ave.

The nation began honoring veterans in 1926 when Armistice Day was held for the first time to commemorate the end of World War I and to honor those who served. Th event was marked on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the same time, day and month that the fighting ended in World War I. In 1938, the day was declared a national holiday. In its early history, Armistice Day was focused on honoring World War I veterans. In the early 1950s, Congressman Edwin Rees of Kansas proposed changing the name of the holiday to Veterans Day and making it a time to honor all those who served in the armed forces, and in 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the bill, officially making Nov. 11 Veterans Day.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) This could be a good time to share some of your plans with those closest to you. Their comments could give you some added insight into how you might accomplish your goals. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) An attack of self-doubt might be unsettling for the usually super-assured Feline. But it could be your inner voice telling you to hold off implementing your plans until you’ve reassessed them. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) This is a great time for you to reward yourself for all your hard work by taking a trip you haven’t spent months carefully planning, to somewhere you never thought you’d be going. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Some misunderstandings resist being resolved. But your sincerity in wanting to soothe those hurt feelings wins the day. By month’s end, that relationship should begin to show signs of healing. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A hectic job schedule begins to ease just in time to blow off all that workgenerated steam on Halloween. A family situation runs into an unexpected complication.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Some helmet designers need heads examined I was asked recently to identify the best, worst, and least inspired football helmets. It will be a snap and a pleasure. The worst ever — let’s start with the bad ones — were the early John Elwayera Broncos helmets. I thought a middle school student had won a horse-drawing contest. A rearing bronco was located in a decent block “D.” The horse was snorting. As a classic Dan Aykroyd character, “Bad Cinema” host Leonard Pinth-Garnell, said, “Astonishingly ill-chosen.” But someone came along, looked at a Ford Mustang logo, and came up with the current helmet graphic. Not very creative, but it is a lot better than Flicka was. A close second was the Miami Dolphins helmet pre-2013. It showed a dolphin wearing a helmet. No chinstrap. The dolphin was leaping in front of, not through, an orange hoop. “Stunningly bad.” The Washington Redskins, currently and justifiably being scolded for their nickname, once had a helmet with a single feather up the back. The current helmet emblem is almost as bad. Oregon has a different look every week. Against Washington State they wore Pepto Bismol-pink helmets. If worn every week,

they would be the worst ever. “Monumentally ill-advised.” The cardinal on Louisville’s helmet has teeth. “Stunningly bad.” Tennessee has the worst helmet logo in the NFL. I don’t know how to explain it. A spiky “T” in a circle with three red stars. Spewing from the upper left are what? Powder blue and red flames? Powder blue and red are b-a-d together. The agency that came up with all of this should be avoided. Miami of Ohio. I don’t have the vocabulary. Look it up. “Couldn’t be worse.” Honorable Mention: Akron, Maryland, New York Jets. The Best Ever? University of Michigan. Go Blue. The helmets are iconic, and recognizable around the world. M. Pibul-

Commitment is the key to building will power “Stay strong!” “You can do it!” “Don’t give in!” “Keep the faith!” “Stay the course!” Many times when we begin the pursuit of a worthy goal such as losing weight, stopping smoking, saving money for a specific reason, or getting into shape we very quickly come to the crossroads of temptation and will power. It’s at this intersection where we find ourselves face to face with the desires that drive us toward our “wants” and where our resolve to adhere to our goal or plan becomes tested. And that’s when we have the proverbial angel on our right shoulder and the devil on our left shoulder. The angel is encouraging us to stay strong, reminding us that we can do it and not to give in. And then that little devil on the opposite side pushes us and nudges us and whispers in our ear that, “Its OK, one doughnut won’t hurt, go ahead take a bite, you can start again tomorrow!” Will power is easy for some and much harder for others. Typically people with strong will power are very goals oriented and results driven. When they set their sights on a target, there is not much that they will let stand in their way once they commit themselves and begin their quest towards that goal. However, there are many more of us who struggle with will power. The thoughts or ideas of pursuing a worthwhile goal come easily enough as we really do want to make a change or difference in our health, in a struggling relationship, or in attempting to quit a bad habit. And sometimes we want these things so badly we jump in eagerly towards the “fix” that we blow right by the planning and expectations phase and forget how important it is to set realistic milestones where we can measure our success along the way. Commitment is a big word when it comes to will power. And in order to be committed and dedicated to that which we are pursuing, we have to be able to have a plan, see what victory or success looks like, and manage our expectations along the way. It’s like the person who is not in very good physical condition and wakes up one day and decides they will begin working out immediately that morning. Instead of going in with a plan that starts slowly and builds their muscle strength and endurance up, they rush right in and do as much as possible on day one. I applaud the initiative, but

then day two happens and the person wakes up so sore and in so much pain that they can’t go back to the gym for days. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months. You know the rest of the story. Will power is one of those terms that is easy to say, sounds good, and even feels good when we say it. It is so easy for others to use as a statement of hope and encouragement. But at the end of the day, will power is a very personal thing. We have to want to make the changes in our lives more than any other person. We sure do appreciate their love, support, concern, and encouragement, however as the old saying goes, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!” To strengthen our will power or resolve for the achievement of our goals we must first make sure we understand the “why” behind the goal, that it is in alignment with our truest beliefs and values, that we can commit to the actions necessary, that we have a support team, family member, friend, or coach that can help us when needed, and that we define what success looks like along the way. And that last one may very well be the most important. Too often we get caught in the trap of wanting to achieve our goal without putting in the effort or hard work necessary to complete it or see it through, expecting immediate success or change. Will power is the ability to say “no” to the things we know that can detract us from our goals or mission, and saying “yes” to the things that are harder but lead to the results we desire. How are you doing when it comes to will power? Are you paying the price or enjoying the benefits? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com and when we learn how to manage our will power, it really will be a better than good week.

songkrimpud of Bangkok, Thailand, said, “Wolvereenies,” when he was shown a photo of the helmet. The University of Delaware swiped the design, but that’s OK because no one knows where Delaware is. Next to the Carolinas, I think. The old Los Angeles Rams helmets, yellow-gold on dark blue, were exceptional. The origin of the ram horn design is a good story. “In 1948, halfback Fred Gehrke painted horns on the Rams’ helmets, making the first modern helmet emblem in pro football.” Cleveland didn’t get the memo. The Browns are the only team in the NFL with nothing on their helmets, other than a stripe. Pittsburgh has a logo on only one side — which is a good trivia question. The Seattle Seahawks have a great helmet logo. It reads from a distance, and it is an effective truncation. Compare it to the “busy” Washington State image, which tries to be both a roaring cougar and the school’s abbreviation. In other words, is it a floor wax or a dessert topping? For some reason, many of the schools that have the most impressive history, have helmets that are completely uninspired

— starting with Penn State. They look like scout team helmets. Poor Penn State. It’s more like State Pen these days. The “Ns” on Nebraska’s helmets were purchased at a Lincoln hardware store. Oklahoma experimented with an italic “OU” for a while, but they have gone back to dullsville. Still, the interlocking “OU” is better than that “N.” Some schools are using new matte helmets. Notre Dame’s will blind you. Maybe that’s the plan. The least of the least? Alabama, currently ranked number one. Each helmet is different, and do you know why? Each player’s number is on his helmet. Louisiana State has “LSU” on its helmets. I guess they’ve never heard of kerning, which is “the process of adjusting the spacing between characters.” Beneath “LSU” is an impossible-to-read tiger head, so LSU makes it in two of my categories: worst and least inspired. Pinth-Garnell said, “There, now, that wasn’t so good, was it?”

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

When do you start holiday shopping? With the holidays approaching fast, Colorado Community Media went to The Parker Shoppes in Parker to ask: When do you start your holiday shopping?

“I start as early as I can. The problem is, I hide the presents and don’t find them until March. My husband waits until Christmas Eve.” — Janeen Lebkuecher, Parker

“I feel like I usually start December 23rd. It’s just procrastinating. I don’t enjoy holiday shopping. I put if off and make it even worse.” — Mike Matthews, Denver

“Usually in the middle of October, so there is not so much stress as it gets closer to Christmas.” — Nancy Browning, Castle Pines

“I try to shop every day throughout the year … you find the most interesting and eclectic things if you don’t have a list you’re trying to satisfy.” — Louise Sparks, Denver

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Energy big in state’s economy

We need to escape this cycle of government budget crises. It’s time for a “grand bargain” to reform entitlements and taxes. Not all business segments are taxed fairly. The average effective tax rate for S&P companies was 29 percent over the past five years, but energy companies paid an average of 37 percent. Any tax reform needs to reflect these differences. Unfortunately, we’ve heard calls to shut energy “loopholes,” which would raise energy

The Independent

taxes even higher. But the loopholes referenced are actually basic deductions and tax credits that many businesses can claim. Energy plays a significant role in Colorado’s economy. If we allow attacks on this industry under the guise of tax reform, we would lose jobs and our economy will suffer. Nancy Doty Arapahoe County Commissioner Centennial

NEWS IN A HURRY Bowl-a-Thon scheduled

Heritage marching band chosen for London trip Teens will ring in 2015 as part of famous parade By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The Heritage High School marching band will head across the pond next December to ring in 2015 as part of the London New Year’s Day Parade. “You will be TV stars somewhere, maybe for a nanosecond, but you certainly will be stars,” said Bob Bone, the parade’s executive director, during the invitational ceremony at HHS Oct. 24. He explained that the parade is the world’s largest on that holiday, featuring more than 8,500 performers and welcoming 750,000 observers along London’s streets, with 280 million more watching on television. “It provided a feast of free entertainment for all the family on what had probably become the dreariest day of the year,” is how the event’s website describes the inaugural parade in 1987. “Featuring hundreds of dancers and musicians from home and abroad, it put real American style razzmatazz onto the streets of London.” The Heritage students will march 2½

miles, passing by Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square on their way to the grand finale in the shadows of Big Ben and the House of Parliament. It’s been tradition for the organizers to invite high-school bands from the United States. “The quality of entertainment is absolutely superb because of you, the American marching bands,” said Bone. “That’s what the crowds like most of all. You see, we don’t have anything like it. You will be so popular with the crowds. And the cheerleaders, the young male population of London does get quite excited about that.” Roger Bramble, deputy lieutenant of the parade, issued the official invitation. “The sheer joy of making music with other people is something I would have liked to have,” he told the students. “Keep your music up. Even when things go wrong, sit down and play fistfuls of wrong notes, and things will go right.” After HHS band director Jeff Helms accepted the offer, Littleton and London memorabilia was exchanged among the local and visiting dignitaries and the marching band burst into a rousing rendition of “Celebration” by Kool and the Gang. “See you in 14 months on the other side of the pond,” said Bone.

Pumpkins, people on hand for exercise ACC fitness event has Halloween theme By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com More than 50 adults and children donned costumes, brought pumpkins and used them as they went through a series of exercises at the Oct. 26 Pumpkin Boot Camp at Arapahoe Community College. “This is fun,” Tammy Moore said as she took part in the event. “I joined the fitness program and lost 60 pounds. It is a great way to make friends and today, I’m just having fun.”

This is the seventh year ACC and Camp MisFits has sponsored the event. Those attending were urged to “Be a Rock Star” and some of the costumes include Sonny and Cher and Cyndi Lauper. Special activities were set up for the children, and each adult was urged to bring a pumpkin weighing six to 10 pounds that would be part of the exercise program. The pumpkins were lifted and swung around during the routines. Patricia Jackson Peters had the most unusual pumpkin, as hers was in a can. “I didn’t have a pumpkin and the can is light, so it’s easier to exercise with,” she said. “Besides, I had to be a bit of a smart aleck.”

Chatfield Reservoir. This lowered the water level, resulting in a shallower river too narrow for its banks. It also straightened the Platte’s course and, because water from Chatfield is free of sediment, created perfect conditions for excessive erosion. This threatens the trees and other vegetation on the river’s banks. All in all, the Platte is a much less attractive environment for wildlife than before the dam existed. “A natural-based restoration approach was taken for proposed improvements whenever possible,” reads a report prepared by Ecologi-

cal Resource Consultants Inc., which designed the project. “The guiding principle of the natural-restoration approach is that an enhanced stream system should mimic a natural channel in appearance and function. Re-creating the natural form and function within the stream system will allow lost natural balance to be restored.” A separate project is in the works for north of Littleton, which will create a “mini-Confluence Park” between Oxford and Union avenues. It could feature kayaking, surfing, tubing and wading, and be accessible to the disabled. The South Platte Working Group is still rounding up money for it, but assuming all goes well, construction should start in winter of next year.

Champions converge on Clement Park By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Dozens of doggies from around the country converged on Clement Park over the Oct. 26-27 weekend for the Final UFO Major, hosted for the first time by Colorado Disc Dogs. They competed in levels from simple toss and catch all the way up to freestyle, where the pooches and their people perform choreographed routines, showing off their signature moves. In honor of Halloween, there was even a doggie costume contest and trick-or-treating among sponsoring vendors. Colorado Disc Dogs was founded in 1994 and welcomes new members, even hosting a training event every spring. “It is one of the biggest and most successful disc dog clubs in the world,” according to the UFO website. “Teams from the club are always in the top of the standings at every event they participate in, judges from the club are highly sought for their experience and skills, and club events are heavily attended all year long.”

Pi dia p ry (in share 6 at gram seum of th W scen servi rica His fi ace. Lam Fe D For a suit-and-tie CEO of the Denver in 19 Th Center for the Performing Arts, Daniel men Ritchie makes a handsome woman. And he proved just how fetching he can be in a blingy ball gown during “Theatre Threads,” a costume department fashion show featuring models from the DCPA’s financial and emotional support group. As an unadvertised final entry in the fashion show, Ritchie shuffled to the microphone where 9News entertainment editor Kirk Montgomery was lending emcee duties. Much to the delight of the lunching crowd, Ritchie sported a Texas-sized blond wig, full makeup, false eyelashes, figurehugging bedazzled gown, feather stole, full-length black gloves and black patent open-toe heels. In a twisted way, he looked hot! Ritchie was promoting “The Legend of Georgia McBride,” which plays in the Ricketson Theatre from Jan. 10 to Feb. 23. “We didn’t have costumes yet so we hired a professional drag queen, and he worked with Dan on the outfit,” said Alexandra Griesmer, public relations and promotions manager for the Denver Center Theatre Company. “(Ritchie) was such a great sport — didn’t take much convincing!” Ritchie said his gender-bender experience lent him more empathy toward females. “I learned that high heels are risky,” Ritchie said while Montgomery, dressed as one of the Three Musketeers, doubled over in laughter. “I was surprised to learn what you do every day. My respect is even higher (for women).” The play is about a straight young man who unexpectedly takes a dip into the world of drag, Ritchie said. “I didn’t know much about being a woman, so I thought I should learn firsthand.” Denver Center Alliance’s Theatre Threads is a tribute to the talent and passion of the models and backstage stars, Denver Center Theatre Company’s costume department. Proceeds support the Arts in Education program, which allows more than 50,000 students the opportunity to experience live theater this academic year.

Antique tractors from the Front Range Antique Power Association took visitors on the scenic path between the parking lot and the entrance, and the group also had its barrel train on hand for jaunts around the garden.

ACC holds ‘Poems for Malala’ reading Pakistani teen is advocate for education of girls By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The extraordinary 16-year-old Pakistani student, Malala Yousafzai, has captured the imagination of millions worldwide, after an assassination attempt on Oct. 9, 2012, when she was shot in the head and neck. Following expert medical care in Great Britain, she has continued to advocate for education for girls, spoken at the UN on her 16th birthday, been featured on the Cover of Time magazine as one of “The Most Influential People in the World” and been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The winner of Pakistan’s first National Youth Peace Prize, who continues to advocate for worldwide access to education, has been honored by an anthology, “Poems for Malala,” published by FutureCycle Press. Poets from throughout the world have contributed to it, including Kathryn

Winograd and Chris Ransick of Arapahoe Community College in Littleton. ACC’s Writers Studio will host a “Poems for Malala” evening from 6 to 8 p.m. on Nov. 8 in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts. Poet and anthology editor Joseph Hutchison will open the program and describe how the anthology came about. He, Winograd and others will read from the anthology, which includes poems by such well-known writers as Linda Hogan, Jane Hirshfield and Ellen Bass. A suggested $5 donation from audience members will go to the Malala Fund, as will proceeds from book sales. (Order from Amazon.) Winograd said she was reeling from the death of Jessica Ridgeway in Wheat Ridge when Malala was shot and her poem, “etymology of girl,” reflects her concern. It concludes: “malala: all-honey or grief-stricken, and you, dear dead girl of the grass. Fetching it to me with full hands, God beholds blossoms, pearls, inner sea fold of petal, flower flesh —

what else did men name you centuries centuries” A representative of the Denver-based not-for-profit, Woman’s Development Association, will talk about its work in Lahore, Pakistan, with indigent, illiterate women. A video will be played of a talk by member Josna Azim, who comes from a region near Malala’s. She is leaving Nov. 1, so her talk was recorded and her son, Asher Azim, will introduce it Area high school poets have been invited to contribute work and read at the event, Winograd said.

if you go The “Poems for Malala” event at Arapahoe Community College, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton, will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 8 in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts in the Annex at the east side of the campus. A donation of $5 for the Malala Fund is suggested. Light refreshments will be served. For information, contact Winograd, kathryn.winograd@arapahoe.edu, 303797-5815.

The incredible shrinking anchor

Have you seen 9News entertainment anchor Kirk Montgomery lately? Rather, have you seen what’s left of him? His cheeks are no longer “cherubbed,” and his torso is oh so trim. I caught his act last week, and couldn’t help asking Montgomery the secret to his slimmed-down success. “I downloaded a free app (My Plate from www.livestrong.com) and I’ve been counting calories,” he told me. “I input the good the bad and the ugly — and just getting into the habit of doing that was an eye-opener. I’ve tried to stay around 1,500 (calories consumed) a day. Some days are lower, some higher, but I’ve lost weight before — the goal this time is to keep it off.” Penny Parker’s “Mile High Life” column gives insights into the best events, restaurants, businesses, parties and people throughout the metro area. Parker also writes for Blacktie-Colorado.com. You can subscribe and read her columns (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) at www.pennyparker.blacktie-colorado.com.

Food is focus at museum talk Pierre Wolfe is longtime chef, media personality By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Pierre Wolfe, Denver area chef and media personality for more than half a century (including an early Littleton stint), will share memories and stories at 7 p.m. Nov. 6 at the Littleton Museum in a free program. The event is sponsored by the museum, Historic Littleton Inc. and Friends of the Littleton Library/Museum. Wolfe was born in Berlin of Alsatian descent and moved to Colorado in 1950 after serving with the Allied forces in North Africa and the Middle East as a 16-year-old. His first Denver job was at the Brown Palace. In 1952, he became chef at the Patio Lamaze Restaurant at Belleview and Santa Fe Drive in Littleton. (Renamed The Patio in 1953.) The restaurant offered a high-end menu: steak Diana, frog legs, Chateau-

briand, Parisian chicken, bananas Foster, Cherries Jubilee — many items were served, or at least flamed, at tableside, a bit of showmanship he took with him when he moved to the Quorum, near the Capitol Wolfe in Denver in 1960. Well-known guests were found at the Patio frequently, and a highlight was a press dinner for Gen. Dwight Eisenhower on June 25, 1952, when he was campaigning for president. Press secretary James Hagerty was the planner. Wolfe discussed his military service in North Africa with the general. The dinner menu was printed by the Littleton Independent on 4½-inch wide satin ribbon. Wolfe treasures a sample signed by Dwight and Mamie Doud Eisenhower. In 1956, Wolfe met his wife-to-be, Jean Brown, with whom he has traveled widely — the equivalent of four circles around the globe, he says.

He logged more than 40 years in the restaurant business in Denver, including The Normandy and Tante Louise after the Quorum. He retired in 2000 and has published two books and kept a radio show going since then, as he and his wife traveled. (He has served as guest chef on cruise liners en route.) He has broadcast his radio shows from around the world since he began in 1956 in Denver. He currently has a nationally syndicated Sunday afternoon show, where he hosts guest experts from food and travel fields. Wolfe published his first book, “Tastefully Yours,” in 2002 (out of print, but available at Bemis Library). It is a history of Denver restaurants, with menus, gossip and critiques and some recipes. He acknowledged many friends who were sources for his extensive material — and said “if the recipes don’t work, call them, not me!” His latest book, “The Tall Fellows,” is a novel that grew out of his war experiences.

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Ceramic art is an ancient craft, dating back to B.C. days, but it is still a satisfying outlet for creative people and contemporary pottery is a desired addition to many homes. Eight local potters who met in Sally Burns’ Monday class at Goodson Recreation Center have organized their second pottery sale and chosen a group name: Clay Crafters. (Burns has also taught at

the Cheyenne Studio at Highlands Ranch’s Southridge Recreation Center.) Participants are: Diane Gaither, three years’ experience; Barb Grohoski, 30-plus years; Peg Redding, four-plus years; Don Ryan, 30-plus years; Kathryn Schindler, 30-plus years; Matthew Hammer, 28-plus years; Cathy Benn, 10-plus years; and Cindy Ellingboe, eight years. (Hammer and Gaither are not in the current class but are group members.) Gaither is also a beekeeper and will have some of her honey for sale. They will exhibit handmade functional and decorative stoneware, including some Raku pieces and sculpture — ideal for home use or for holiday gifts.

The sale will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 9 at the Heritage Greens Community Room (next to the pool). The address is 4818 E. Links Circle, Centennial. (It can be reached from Colorado Boulevard and Links Parkway, or from Holly and Otero. Google suggested.) In addition to the Monday Daytime Continuing Wheel Pottery, there is an evening continuing class and there are Introduction to Pottery classes day and evening. The Clay Crafters have graduated to using the studio as their lab, and they fire bisque and glazed pieces there. Some also create pieces at home studios. See the SSPR catalog for class information, sspr. org.

‘This is Colorado’ returns to ACC Show features wide range of paintings By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Eighty paintings by Colorado’s fine artists fill the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College, in the annual “This is Colorado” exhibit, sponsored for many years by the local Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County. It has appeared at numerous venues previously, but not in this handsome gallery, a natural location for it. The show, which runs through Nov. 15, was juried by artist Phyllis Vandehaar, former chair of the art department at Arapahoe High School and popular local teacher at Roxborough State Park and elsewhere. “If art isn’t challenging, enlightening and enjoyable, something is wrong,” she said. She gave a written comment to each artist whose work was accepted in the show. Paintings in the show vary from

traditional oils to abstract acrylics to several mixed media fabric collages, which verge on sculptural — although the show features only two-dimensional works. Veteran painter/teacher Robert Gray of Highlands Ranch won the Best of Show award for his large romantic watercolor, “Rainbow Sky,” which depicts a mountain lake at a magic moment when a rainbow fills the sky and is reflected in the water. Located just inside the gallery entrance to the right, it shows great skill with a difficult medium in the careful interplay of color and light and dark. Gray once maintained a studio in downtown Littleton (on Alamo) and has been teaching at Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts in Palmer Lake recently, as well as HFAG and other workshops. First place was awarded to Lee Wasilik of Littleton, also an experienced painter, for his “Rocky Mountain Sunday,” a cozy scene of congregants gathered in front of a white traditional wooden church. The painterly technique in this acrylic work stands out. MK, Marykay Moore Jacobus’ jo-

vial “Women — All That Jazz” won second place. Jacobus, current HFAG president, has worked tirelessly to keep this significant statewide exhibit going for a number of years, aided, of course by numerous guild members. She deserves community recognition. Third place winner was Diane Edwards’ cheerful “Poppies on the Front Range,” a drift of red poppies, with mountains in the distance. The ACC Gallery Director Award, selected by Trish Sangelo, went to Janet Ford for “In the Colorado Moment.” Merit awards were given to Linda Metcalf for her abstract “All That Jazz”; to longtime member Orrel Schooler for “Ancient Homes”; to Kristine Orr for “Outer Reaches”; to Nancy Raskin for a pastel, “The Forest.” Gallery hours: Mondays through Fridays noon to 8, according to the student who was staffing it. For information about the Heritage Fine Arts Guild programs and prospective membership, contact MK Jacobus, mkstudio@comcast.net, 303-741-5875.

Lions score win over Kennedy Littleton victory keeps football playoff hopes alive By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton gave Lions fans a lot to cheer about as the football team combined a balanced attack and a stingy defense to post a 21-3 win over Kennedy on Oct. 25, which was senior night and the final home game of the season. “This was a good game for our kids and it shows them that, if we work hard, we get better every week,” Littleton coach Kurt Krantz said after the game. “It is important to finish strong and this is a step in that direction. The victory raised the Lions’ season mark to 4-5 and at least gave them an outside chance to make the Class 4A playoffs, provided they close out the season Oct. 31 with a win over Dakota Ridge. Littleton faces a challenge against the Eagles as they are second in the league with a 6-3 record. Statistics show the Eagles like to throw the ball, as quarterback Braxton Thais has completed 144 of 231 passes for 2,031 yards and 20 touchdowns. However, they also have a strong game with Aaron Nelson as the leader, as he has carried 191 times for 1,004 yards and 17 touchdowns. The game will be played at 6 p.m. Oct. 31 in Trailblazer Stadium in Jefferson County. On Oct. 25, Littleton kicked off to Kennedy, stopped the Commanders and forced a punt. The Lions then mounted a sustained drive and scored a touchdown on a one-yard run by Austin Sonju. The extra point try failed, so the score was 6-0 with 4:51 left in the first quarter. Kennedy rebounded with a drive that

Photo by Tom Munds took them to the Lions’ nine-yard line. However, penalties and a sack pushed the Commanders back so they finally kicked a 23-yard field goal near the end of the quarter to make the score 6-3 at halftime. Littleton took the second-half kickoff and launched another drive. The big play was a long pass from Nick McNamee to Austin Biebar that took the ball to the

Kennedy six-yard line. The same duo then teamed up for an aerial touchdown play. The two-point conversion was good so the score was 14-3 early in the third quarter. Later in the third period, the Lions struck again. The 60-yard drive culminated with an eight-yard run by Noah McGhee. The extra point was good and the Lions won the game 21-3, since there was no

scoring in the final quarter. “Our kids played hard. We have about 20 seniors on the team, it was their last game and all our guys wanted the win for them,” the coach said. Senior McNamee said the Lions’ game plan was to use a strong running game to set up the passes. “We ran plays hard inside the tackles and usually gained yardage,” the quarterback said. “Running the ball set up our bootleg passes that helped us move the ball.” He said this personally was an emotional game since it was the last time he would play high school football in front of the home crowd. “We have worked hard, it has been a pretty good season and tonight’s win was sweet,” he said. “It helps our record and gives us at least a small chance to get into the state playoffs as we go into the last game of the regular season.” McNamee finished the night completing 10 of 14 passes for 161 yards, and his longest of the night was 67 yards. He passed for a touchdown and he also rushed eight times for 20 yards. The running game was working as McGee carried 10 times for 86 yards and Sonju carried 19 times for 84 yards. Leading receivers included Tre Blake with four catches for 87 yards and Bieber with five catches for 69 yards. Defensively, the Lions held the Kennedy offense in check, giving up some yardage but no touchdowns. One of the defensive leaders was senior Sean Malloy. “Kennedy was a decent team and they fought hard the whole game,” he said after the game. “Like the other seniors, this was an emotional game for me. It was hard to be here tonight and to realize it is my final time to play on this field. We really wanted this game and it felt good to win tonight.”

Eagles post key football win Heritage’s last-minute score edges Trojans 21-14 By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Heritage High School football team literally waited to the last minute to win the Oct. 24 game as the Eagles scored a touchdown with nine seconds left on the clock to post a 21-14 victory over Fountain-Fort Carson. “We won by the skin of our teeth, which is how we have won four of our last five games,” Mike Griebel, Heritage coach, said after the game. “Our kids kept battling tonight and it finally paid off for us. We are a young team but we are growing up and our young pups are getting tougher, so we are a much better team now than at the state of the season. This win gives us a winning record and a better seeding in the upcoming playoffs.” The Eagles wrapped up the regular season with a 5-4 record, which includes a 4-2 league record. The Oct. 24 game was key because Heritage and the Trojans came into the contest tied for third in the Pioneer League. The Eagles win earned them undisputed possession of third place. It didn’t look great for Heritage in the early going Oct. 24 against Fountain-Fort Carson. Each team was able to move the ball at times, but neither team was unable to put together a sustained scoring drive, so the first quarter ended in a scoreless tie. Late in the second quarter, the Eagles drove sown, stalled on the nine-yard line, and Alex Null booted a field goal. But the lead didn’t last long as about 90 seconds later the Trojans scored on a 65-yard touchdown pass play. Fountain-Fort Carson got the ball back with 1:55 left on the clock and scored a touchdown with 15 seconds left in the half.

Heritage came back late in the third period and kicked a field goal to make the score 14-6 going into the final period. The Eagles put together a solid drive, Rob Sublette ran the ball in for a touchdown and quarterback Mikey Grieble passed to Dalton Thorpe for the two-point conversion to tie the score. After the kickoff, the Trojans had a third and a yard for a first down, but the Eagles stopped the runner in the backfield to force a punt. Heritage got the ball on their own 35yard line with 4:02 left in the game. They kept the ball on the ground, ate up yardage and took time off the clock. A draw play took the ball to the two-yard line with 18 seconds left in the game. Sublette took a handoff, got solid blocking and beat the defenders around the left end as he crossed into the end zone for the winning touchdown. The coach said the emotion shifted in favor of the Eagles at halftime. “This is senior night, the last game of the regular season,” Griebel said. “Our underclassmen got fired up and came out determined to do a better job so this would be a win for our seniors. It was a great victory for all our kids, our team and our school.” The Eagles used the ground game to their advantage. Quarterback Griebel was the No. 2 rusher as he carried 21 times for 101 yards. However, Sublette, a senior, was the rushing leader as he carried 21 times for 112 yards, caught one pass for 18 yards and scored two touchdowns. “The first half they came out fired up and we struggled a little,” he said after the game. “At halftime, we realized we had to take it to them. We just kept driving at them, they began to get tired and the holes kept getting bigger and bigger.” He said the winning touchdown came on an isolation play that had been working all game. “I got the ball and started left,” Sublette

Heritage back Rob Sublette (26) battled for yardage in the Oct. 24 game against the Trojans. Sublette scored two touchdowns to help the Eagles win the game, 21-14. Photo by Tom Munds said. “As I started moving, I saw our linemen had sealed off the inside for me so, I turned upfield and outran the defenders and made it to the end zone. Scoring that touchdown is special and something I will always remember.” The Trojans moved the ball pretty well in the first half, but the Eagles tightened things down to keep them in check in the

second half. Andrew Schaffer and Kenton Hewitt each had 10 tackles while senior Steven Gray was the tackle leader with 19. “It was a tough night at first. They are a good team with big, strong kids and they had a bit of a size difference,” Gray, a senior, said after the game. “However, we played hard, we played fast and it paid for us.”

WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT. Tour our Two Model Homes!

WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R

7 Days a Week No Appointment Necessary!

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about craŌsmanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and building techniques. The thicker walls in our high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insulaƟon than in a convenƟonal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we get 2½ Ɵmes MORE insulaƟon in the aƫc. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill!
