Close LPS race officially called Warren-Gully, Reutzel, Perez take school board seats By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The very close race for the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education officially came to an end Nov. 14 amid tears and cheers as Kelly Perez, Jack Reutzel and Carrie Warren-Gully were sworn in. “I think we got three fantastic people

in there,” said outgoing president Bob Colwell, who, true to form, struggled with tears throughout the emotional meeting. “And it was amazing turnout.” With 64,700 votes counted, WarrenGully claimed 21.25 percent, Perez took 20.20 percent and Reutzel squeaked in with 19.59 percent. Their challengers, Dallas Jones and Robert Reichardt, tied at 19.48 percent. Perez has lived in Centennial for 19 years, raising five kids in the district. She’s been on nearly every LPS committee and served as president of the parent-teacher organizations at Damon Runyon Elementary, Powell Middle School and Arapahoe

and Heritage high schools — the last two at the same time. Prior to having kids, she was a social worker. Her youngest two kids are still in the district, one in sixth grade at Powell and the other a sophomore at Arapahoe. “I have a passion for education,” she said. “I want to keep striving to maintain the comprehensive educational opportunities that LPS offers.” Reutzel, an attorney with the firm Fairfield and Woods, is a 20-year resident of Bow Mar. His son graduated from Littleton High School, and his daughter is a sophoRace continues on Page 10

Group ponders grand possibilities for canal Small changes could happen next year By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The High Line Canal Working Group is contemplating converting the entire 66mile system into a rain garden, a concept that is gaining popularity as municipalities struggle with water issues. “It’s a major rethinking outside of the box,” Littleton City Councilor Bruce Beckman told the rest of the council during a Nov. 12 study session. The Rain Garden Network’s website defines a rain garden as a shallow, constructed depression that is planted with deep-rooted native plants and grasses. It collects runoff from hard surfaces such as Canal continues on Page 10 POSTAL ADDRESS

The High Line Canal Working Group plans to get some small projects rolling next year, such as perhaps improving this bridge at Ridge Road and Bannock Street. Grander plans are still in the works.

Next year, all 75 million baby boomers will be 50 or older. And by 2030, more than 10,000 of them will be living in Littleton — nearly a quarter of the city’s current population — according to Denver Regional Council of Governments forecasts. With that in mind, the city is taking a hard look at what types of services it can implement now to support that population into the future. Kay Wilmesher, a city employee who has served as the Greater Littleton Youth Initiative’s director, was moved out of the community-development department last year and into the city manager’s office to spearhead this new effort. “With federal funding cuts come state and local cuts,” she wrote in a memo presented to city council Nov. 12. “Stressing local government resources in an effort to meet senior needs could likely stress essential city services such as fire and police protection. This situation could, in turn, possibly affect the perceived and real quality of life for the citizens of the community; it could damage the community’s fabric from one recognized as healthy, family friendly and economically stable to something much less desirable.” Census data says Littleton’s median age is 42, compared to 35.8 in the greater Denver metro area. Seniors are the only age category expected to grow in in the city. Fortunately for them, there is a wide variety of resources available. There are housing options like Amity Plaza and Bradley House, transportation solutions like Omnibus and Shopping Cart, health programs like Doctors Care and Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health, and many that are more socially oriented like Buck Recreation Center and Meals on Wheels. However, there has been no centralized effort in Littleton to bring together all these resources and find out where the gaps are. “When resources are tight, we all pull together,” said Wilmesher. Her suggested next steps are to bring together existing groups that serve seniors to brainstorm solutions, then look to other communities so as not to reinvent the wheel. Wilmesher holds out Wheat Ridge, a community similar to Littleton in size and demographics, as an example of what’s working. It began its efforts six years ago, and now supports several subcommittees with different emphases. A major focus is on training residents to look out for each other, said Wilmesher. Volunteers with groups like Meals on Wheels or Inter-Faith Community Services, and even local mail carriers and clergy, can be trained to recognize signs of distress in seniors, then teach others how to do the same. Seniors should watch for a survey to arrive in the mail in mid-2014.

Kindness reigns in this parade Sometimes, you can’t stop the parade, especially when it’s fueled by quiet goodness and an abiding conviction that the smallest effort makes a difference. Sometimes, you just have to jump into the line and see where it takes you. That’s what high school teacher Bob Sutterer and his Rum-Dums did. “We feel we don’t really know what we’re doing,” says Bob, with a smile. “But none of us really feels like we should walk away — so we just keep walking forward.” One hopeful step at a time. The path is taking him and his small troupe to Liberia, a battle-ravaged country struggling to find its way after two successive civil wars dismantled its economic and educational infrastructure. “The challenge is huge,” says Robert Sondah, an educator in Liberia from whom Bob has learned much. “Our society has been broken.” But to fully understand Bob’s connection to this small West African country, you must first retrace the route back 17 years to a Minnesota basement and a rickety table with file folders stacked by a man who repeatedly showed his family what it meant to care. “I remember walking into the kitchen and Dad was cooking ribs — mounds of food,” Bob says. “I’d say, `Oooh, we’re going to eat well!’ And he’d say, `They’re for so-and-so-and-so-and-so ... someone with illness in their family or who had lost their job.” His dad, Dittmar Sutterer, was the son of a pastor from a small Minnesota town. Now 82, he spent his life as a teacher, paper industry employee and school

custodian. Always, “he was making and giving things to other people,” Bob says. So, it didn’t surprise anyone when Dittmar, after befriending members of the large Liberian refugee community in Minneapolis, began supporting an orphanage in the country where 85 percent of its people live below the international poverty line. He established a small, informal nonprofit comprised mainly of neighbors on his street and ran it from the table in his basement, writing necessary communication on a manual typewriter. Eventually, the bridge he built carried more than 7,000 books, about $90,000 to help create and modernize schools from thatched-roof into cement-walled structures and 178 55-gallon barrels of clothing, medical supplies and food. In 2007, after 11 years of guiding this outreach, Dittmar, beginning to feel the weight of his years, gave notice to family, friends and partners in Liberia that he would retire the following year. “A lot of his supporters were aging, too,” Bob says. “It was kind of a natural winddown of the entire process.”

But, as Bob looked at what his father had done, he and his wife, Lisa, began to marvel: “We were amazed that one guy, a retired senior citizen, could start something that grew to something really significant.” That’s when the parade beckoned. Bob visited Liberia in 2010, driving down muddy roads through lush jungles to villages where kids ran down hills as he arrived and teachers shook his hands in gratitude. He found unexpected memories of home, too. “I saw books that were on my shelf on their shelves,” Bob says. “I saw kids running around in Minnesota jerseys.” He returned to Colorado completely overwhelmed, knowing only the need for education was immense and feeling a fascinating curiosity spark about what, just maybe, could happen if someone cared enough. “Education,” Bob says, “should be something everyone should get a shot at.” He began writing to friends, and like his father before him, recruited a small neighborly band. They include his wife, a middle school social studies teacher; a marketing executive; a physician’s assistant; a school principal; an accountant; and a college professor. They call themselves the RumDums because they’re figuring it out as they go. They’ve connected with the nonprofit Vision Trust in Colorado Springs, a Christian organization whose goal is to provide

at-risk children in Africa, Asia and the Americas with education, food and medical care. That’s how they met Robert and his wife, Siakor, who oversee six schools with 54 teachers and more than 2,600 students in kindergarten through ninth grades. The couple was recently in Colorado for training with Vision Trust and strategy meetings with the Rum-Dums. They are passionate about their mission. “We’re hoping to develop a new generation of leadership in our country,” Robert says. “We’re hoping the kids will grow up to know God and become the leaders who will help the people and bring back to the community.” Apart from the mission connection, a true friendship forged on mutual admiration is growing. Bob is consistently moved by the devoted commitment Robert and Siakor, parents of four children themselves, bring each day to plant roots for successful lives in the children under their watch. “It’s truly inspiring ... to give to so many kids,” Bob says. “There’s a simple but profound goodness in that.” Robert and Siakor see that virtue in American culture rather than their own. “You (Americans) can’t just live for yourselves,” Robert says. “You have to empty yourself into other people.” Healey continues on Page 4

Most of Littleton’s 42,500 people are aging, educated, employed and relatively safe, according to data that Mike Braaten, assistant city attorney, compiled into a “Data Dashboard Report” he presented to city council Nov. 12. “Littleton’s median age of 42 makes it home to a slightly older demographic than many of its counterpart suburban Denver communities,” writes Braaten. The average median age for the Denver-metro area is 35.8, and in neighboring Englewood, it’s 37.2. And while Littleton is often viewed as having a wealthy citizenry, its median income is just about $52,000. Its average income is about $72,000, and about a quarter of the people earn more than $100,000. Even though there are 1.5 jobs in Littleton for each resident, most people work somewhere else. The 2,400 who both live and work in the city earn less than their commuting neighbors. Only about 6.3 percent of Littletonites are unemployed. “Littleton residents looking for work appear to have been more successful than their suburban brethren,” writes Braaten.

Englewood has a 7.8 percent unemployment rate, and the number in Wheat Ridge is 8.7 percent. Littleton spends less on public safety and street maintenance than many of its neighbors. Littleton Fire Rescue is at about half the average ratio of staff to population across the Front Range, at .56 per 1000 people. For police officers, that number is 1.6. By way of comparison, Englewood has 2.3 officers per thousand, but its total arrests are double Littleton’s. One reason could be that the city hasn’t historically gone after a lot of grant money. In 2012, it garnered about $460,000, as opposed to Englewood’s nearly $1.5 million. “Let’s get our fair share,” said Mayor Debbie Brinkman. Councilor Bruce Beckman noted a need has to be proved to obtain most grants. “Sometimes the ability to get that grant is not always good news,” he said. With the topic of renting versus owning being a hot one in town as applications to build multifamily projects spiked this year, the report notes that Littleton is currently about 63 percent owner-occupied and that number has grown at a rate of 36 percent since 1990. Rentals have grown at a rate of 22 percent in the same time frame, and the vacancy rate is just 2.5 percent. Englewood’s rate is more than double that number at 5.6 percent. “People like to stay here,” said Braaten.

COMING SOON TO THORNTON & CENTENNIAL

Siakor acknowledges the different cultures and environments. “But,” she says, “we are all working for the common good — so we can make the world better.” Maybe that’s what the parade represents, a chance to become part of something greater than ourselves. For Bob, the journey has been a multifaceted blessing. As a teacher, “it’s fascinating professionally to apply the things I’ve been doing my whole life in a different way.” As a father, “it’s a good kind of family legacy and a good teaching moment for my kids.” As a son, “it was a way to honor my father.” It’s about faith, too. “There are about three times in my life that God has tapped me on my shoulder when I’ve gotten the sense this is some-

thing I should be doing.” There’s a true story Bob likes to tell about a parade. It goes likes this: One New Year’s Day when San Diego resident Bob Goff’s kids were bored, he suggested a neighborhood parade. The only rule — no one could watch. Everyone had to participate. A few neighbors joined and marched down the street. Years later, hundreds march in a parade that has become a grand tradition. Bob recounted that story when he first approached the Rum-Dums about helping children half a world away find their future. And then he said: “There’s this parade that’s happening. Do you want to just grab something and jump in?” All it takes is one hopeful step. Aren’t you curious to see where it will end?

With one month remaining until the official grand opening, construction workers are putting the final touches on Children’s Hospital Colorado’s south campus near C-470 and Lucent Boulevard. A media tour of the 180,000-square-foot facility Nov. 18 revealed the down-to-the-detail planning that included staff on every level, including doctors. The hospital will have 24/7 pediatric urgent care, 12 inpatient rooms with sleep accommodations for parents and guardians, three overnight sleep study rooms, a sibling play area and an MRI suite that transforms with projected images, colored lighting and music to reduce anxiety.

opinions / yours and ours

Simply saying thanks for Thanksgiving A moment to say thanks in late November is always a welcome breather. The last third of the year — beginning in September and transitioning into winter — is marked by as much or more activity as other segments of the year. While the preceding summer is often a lighter balance of work, school and vacation — the work and education worlds rev up to warp speed in September. At the same time politics heats up for the annual November election, whether it is an odd or even year replete with varying mixes of local, state and federal issues. Views are discussed. Ballot questions and candidates are sized up. Some people vote from the gut while others do many hours

our view of research beforehand. Some see the whole deal as a suspect shebang and don’t vote. And while most remain civil and parse topics by issues, it does get personal and sometimes a light fog of animosity lingers after the votes are counted — which takes a little while to clear away. Once the voting cycle is complete, the signs of the holiday season are in our publications and on our streets and screens, everywhere. And whether a family

gets caught up in the throes of consumerism overlapped with Christmas, the scene is set all around us. Shopping activity increases, and we revel in the gift of giving. Meaningful religious services and joyous celebrations take place, and then the year comes charging to a close. We say “happy New Year” and set forth with renewed purpose. So next week Thanksgiving equates to a quasi seven-inning stretch. Through the years, some people in our circles have said it’s their favorite holiday. And we can certainly see the virtues. Thanksgiving centers on sitting down and enjoying a meal. We count our blessings and share what we are thankful for

in our lives. Of course, be advised to take a role pitching in to see that the kitchen crew has enough help and so forth — but other than that the day isn’t meant to have a lot of moving parts. The process and pressure of giving gifts — while joyful in most ways — is out of play. Sure Thanksgiving sometimes also serves as a time to huddle and plan for the December holidays, but the spirit of Thanksgiving is at its best when it remains simple. Thanksgiving is simple, and beautifully so. Just get together and add a deck of cards and a few games to enhance the interaction. Thanksgiving is simply a time to give thanks, listen to each other, laugh and think a bit about how to help each other.

Know what’s funny? What gift do you want? Not much, really question of the week

Presents will be given as the holidays roll around. We asked people at the Outlets at Castle Rock what gift they would most like to receive this year.

“A massage.” — Brandi Tsuchimoto, Castle Pines

“A vacation — anywhere in the Caribbean.” — Pamela Gates, Parker

“More time with my kids.” — Shalea Hardison, Castle Rock

“Something to play music off of my phone from.” — Matt Messer, Castle Rock

letters to the editor Illegal labor hurts citizens

The 2014 Colorado Legislature is about to convene and there are still many people, especially young people, out of work. Benefits from both the public and private sector are needed to help Colorado citizens get through. A big contributor to the problem is the high amount of illegal labor. While criminal businesses park citizen labor in government subsidies they use illegal labor at will. Last year our legislators, Linda Newell and Daniel Kagan, contributed to the problem by offering illegal immigrants enticements to come and stay. They made driver’s licenses available (a form of ID), gave in-state tuition to illegal immigrants, and allowed cities and counties to refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement. While these bills may please our legislators’ special-interest friends in the Chambers of Commerce and Colorado Municipal League, it does little to stem the tide of illegal labor that effects south metro citizens directly and indirectly. We need to make it clear to both Newell and Kagan that we want to see these laws rescinded and e-verify in place. We can reduce the cost of state government by being vigilant about how we legislate and where the money goes. John C. Brick Englewood

Consider helping charter school

The Englewood School District conducted its student enrollment count Nov. 1, which determines the district’s per-pupil revenues, and found enrollment has decreased by 146 students, or 5 percent. From 1993 until 2002 (10 years) there was a 9.3 percent enrollment decrease. From 2003 to 2012 there was

another 27 percent decrease. Now in 2013 Englewood’s enrollment has seriously declined again! Most residents believe that this unhealthy trend is unsustainable. And yet, for the second time in a row, Carlton Academy was denied a charter by the Englewood School Board because they were unable to show a “need” or a public outcry for an alternative. We say the public is proving their outcry and need for an alternative of Englewood schools by taking their students out of Englewood School District. So why the denial? Great question! In addition to requiring Carlton Academy to provide transportation, which is not legally required, the board denied the charter due to scoring by outside evaluators who used conflicting rubrics. Carlton Academy also provided a new amended budget, but the school board chose not to consider it. Carlton Academy, another choice for parents of students in K-8, desires to come alongside this struggling school district and provide a sound education alternative just as Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School (an Englewood public school) does for high schoolers struggling with regular high school. Carlton Academy believes parents deserve a choice before having to move out of Englewood for education. Englewood residents can help their school district by joining with Carlton Academy in bringing an education alternative to the community. Remember, Carlton Academy does not take money from Englewood Schools, it actually helps increase the amount received. The charter will have open enrollment and will take all students by a lottery.

Ironically, I received an email from a reader telling me to smile on the same day that I began a column that would explain why I don’t smile. Or laugh. Oh, now and then I do. The idea came from a New Yorker article written by Paul Rudnick, who said, “The phone rang while I was watching ‘Good Morning America,’ and I wondered if they could ever pay me enough to fake being that cheerful.’” That made me smile, because I have always thought that most of the men and women who host morning television programs are unnervingly upbeat. I haven’t watched any scripted television comedies in twenty years, simply because they aren’t comedies — at least I don’t think so. Laugh tracks are an insult. They should be illegal. But here’s the thing: I have made people smile and laugh all of my adult life, and not just with my looks. Movies are just as bad. I watched about two minutes of “Goldmember” before vomiting. I would never survive in a comedy club. I mean, I would never survive in the audience. I don’t tell jokes, and I greatly prefer extemporaneous humor to anything that has been written and polished by a stand-up. I make exceptions. I lap up the annual joke show on “A Prairie Home Companion,” and especially anything about a skeleton or a snake or a shepherd that goes into a bar. I like sarcasm and dry humor, especially dry, droll humor. I am not a complete sourpuss, but I try to be discriminating. Some people will laugh at almost anything. I think I laughed

The Independent

quite a bit during the Bush administrations, but sadly for all the wrong reasons. I gave a one-time painting demonstration to about 60 people, and before I began, the organizer told me to smile every once in a while. That naturally caused me to not smile at all. I cry much more often than I laugh. When I see a genuinely tender moment in a film, I get teary. Whenever I think about my father for more than a minute or two, I get teary. Our thresholds for humor are all different. Television aims for those who have very low thresholds. I want you to listen for something the next time you watch a situation comedy. Every third line is a punch line. That is not how humor works. I feel underestimated. I do get a big kick out of the meteorologists who stand in front of very colorful local or national maps and wave their hands at current or predicted temperatures or conditions, as if they were playing a harp. One in particular should be required to do her segment wearing handcuffs. What amuses you might not amuse me. I never thought that M*A*S*H was of any particular interest. But to its credit, the Smith continues on Page 7

Be real, both inside and outside I had an interesting “virtual” experience a few months ago. No, not that kind of experience, but a “virtual” business experience that taught me a valuable lesson in life. We all know that everything we see or read on the Internet must be true, right? Not quite. Well, even in the virtual world, everything we see may not be what we think it is either. I was delivering a presentation using virtual technology. The people on the other side of the screen could see me and I could see them, very cool. It was an early morning presentation, I had myself set up at my desk, coffee mug filled, and my webcam adjusted perfectly to capture my image from my chest up to the top of my head. I had dressed professionally for the meeting, however, professionally only from the waist up. Since it was an early morning meeting I took a short cut and put on a dress shirt,

tie, and jacket, but left my sweat pants and sneakers on as I would be seated for this presentation. Or so I thought. The meeting went longer than anticipated, and before I knew it there was so much activity happening in my home that I was forced to stand up and shut my office door. I had completely forgotten that I would reveal that I was not in a full suit and tie and that my audience would see my casual sweat pants and sneakers. Was it the worst thing that could have

happened? No, of course not. We all got a good laugh about it and it gave me more material for that presentation and for this column. The point I realized was that sometimes in life people only let us see what they want us to see, not the real deal. There have been points in my own life where I have been guilty of this myself, not just through the use of virtual technology, but not being the real deal or the real me in every circumstance. Do I do it out of protecting myself and keeping a guard up or do I do it out of an intent to have others see me as I want them to see me, not who I really am in any given situation or encounter? As you know by now I love quoting Zig Ziglar, so here is what Zig says about it, “You will make a lousy anybody else, but you will make the best you in existence.” You see we have to be the real deal, the genuine article in all that we do and all that we say. This morning I had another virtual

presentation with a team of people assembled in Budapest, Hungary. The meeting was scheduled for 5 a.m. Mountain Time. I woke up early enough to shower, shave, put on my best suit, shirt, tie, and dress shoes. I was dressed for success and not leaving anything to chance. What they saw was a business professional, what they heard came from my heart, and my confidence was so much higher because I was being myself on the inside and the outside, I was the real deal. How about you? Do you let people only see what you want them to see? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and when you enjoy the benefits of being the real deal, the real you, it really will be a better than good week.

Colorado leads in economic growth It has been a very long road to recovery and there is finally some good news. The Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank just announced the third quarter economic data for our region. It appears the Colorado economy is improving at a greater rate than the national average. This comes five years after the end of the Great Recession. Here are the data points from the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. • Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The Feds are predicting GDP to be 2.6 percent for 2013; 3.5 percent for 2014 and 3.6 percent in 2015. The reason for the increase, which would be the highest in this business cycle, is due to higher taxes (no more payroll tax holiday) and rising income taxes. • Employment: Nationally, the current unemployment rate is 7.3 percent. However Colorado is faring a bit better at seven percent. The private sector is picking up in 2013 and there is less government drag. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) expects unemployment to be down to 6.2 percent by 2015 and 5.9 percent in Colorado. Last year there was a 2.5 percent increase in Colorado employment and a 10.2 percent jobs growth in Colorado over the last 10 years compared to only 4.8 percent nationwide. The largest jump in our region has been in residential construction.

PROFESSIONAL

• Housing: Colorado home prices have surpassed previous levels as of Sept. 30. Prices are up 9.3 percent for the year, which is 6 percent over the 2007 levels. There is a 1.8 month supply of houses on the market in Denver. • Inflation: The Headline inflation rate is hovering around 1.7 percent. The Federal Reserve has a dual mandate: To keep price stability — defined by inflation at or lower than 2 percent — and keep employment steady at or below 6.5 percent. • The Consumer: Spending is up over 3 percent this year compared to 2012. This is partly due to the expanding labor market and homeowners seeing improvement in their equity. Rising equity is partly due to low interest rates, especially if they refinanced in the last five years, coupled with rising home values. The economy continues to grow mod-

erately according to Alison Felix, VP of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank, Denver branch. The government shutdown may subtract up to one-half of a percent from prior GDP, however Colorado continues to outperform the national economy in construction and spending. The new Federal Reserve Board Chairman Janet Yellen made her first announcement recently. She is being labeled as “dovish” and announced she would like to provide forward guidance of what would cause the Fed to taper their bond-buying program. This may be in an effort to reduce surprises and hence tame markets as they anticipate these changes. This may be a difficult undertaking as we have already seen both equity and bond markets react to concerns over how sustainable economic growth will be without the additional money supply produced by the Fed.

This could mean two important things for investors: First, those on a ﬁxed income will not be enjoying decent bond or CD yields anytime soon. Second, the longer the Fed tapering gets pushed into the future, the better chance we will have of market volatility in anticipation of when that will actually occur. These are all good reasons to make certain your portfolio is well-positioned for these events.

laugh track was turned off whenever the characters were performing surgery. There was a (white) Virginia woman on CNN today who was attempting to justify why she permitted her 7-year-old son to dress up like a Ku Klux Klansman on Halloween. The woman’s last name is “Black.” That’s just nuts. I smiled at that, again,

perhaps for the wrong reasons. I think the reader who told me to smile wants more confirmation bias in her journalists, and less judgment about the things she believes in that I do not.

New Eagle Scout ahead of the curve 13-year-old gains rank at younger age than most By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Ask 13-year-old Jackson Weakley what he likes to do, and the list is long — camping, mountain biking, rock climbing, long boarding, kayaking, golfing, jujitsu and wrestling, to name just a few. But ask him what he’s proudest of, and you’ll be surprised at the answer you’ll hear from such a young man. “I’m proud of being an Eagle Scout, and I’m proud of working hard to get it so young,” he says. Only about 4 percent of Boy Scouts attain that rank at all, and most of those not until later on in high school. But Weakley is still a student at Powell Middle School, and a member of Troop 952 based at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He has 34 merit badges and will continue to work toward the coveted Silver Palm, which is 15 badges past Eagle Scout. “I’ll probably let it go after that and do other stuff,” he said. “I can join Venture Scouts at 14. They do a lot more stuff, and a lot bigger stuff.” For his Eagle Scout project, Weakley went above and beyond. He set out to col-

Jackson Weakley, 13, collected books, Kindles and toiletries for the residents of the Robert Russell Masonic Home to earn his Eagle Scout badge. Photo by Jennifer Smith lect toiletries for the 42 residents of the Robert Russell Masonic Home, and ended up with enough for about 400 people. He also wanted to update the home’s library

with newer books, and ended up raising enough money for three Kindles. “I’m so proud of his leadership and the skill to be able to work with people, and

to be able to have goals and accomplish them,” said dad Scott, who has been a den leader since Jackson started in Boy Scouts at Damon Runyon Elementary School. “It’s amazing. He might not get it right now, but there will be a time he’ll have an `ah ha’ moment and realize he earned everything he has.” Dad’s not so shabby himself, says Jackson. He ended his career in the Army with a Purple Heart, and spent several years as Jackson’s stay-at-home dad. “I think it’s really cool he was that hard core in the Army, and I kind of want to do that also. And it’s also cool when he comes and speaks at my school on Veterans Day,” said Jackson. “I really like being physical, and I like thinking on my toes, so I think it would be a good job. Jackson is already showing signs of being pretty hard-core. He was suffering from his sixth concussion sustained while wrestling as he was telling his story, but he doesn’t intend to let that slow him down — although mom Laura says no more wrestling. It’s that attitude of persistence Jackson hopes he can model for younger scouts. “Don’t give up, even when it’s really boring, because there will be fun stuff to back up the boring stuff,” he says. “Just stay with it. It doesn’t really matter if you get to Eagle as young as me. If you get it, you still earned it.”

City attorney no stranger to public eye Fellman’s been politically active in Arvada for decades By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton’s city attorney, Ken Fellman, is this year’s Barrister’s Best Government Lawyer, as declared by Law Week Colorado magazine. “Ken was selected by our editorial staff for the work he’s done, and being in the news by gaining new clients, over the past year,” said Meg Satrom, managing editor. In addition to Fellman signing a contract with Littleton in June, his firm, Kissinger & Fellman, opened an office in September in the Washington, D.C., area that will provide lobbying and legal services for technology companies and local governments on a state and federal level. “Kissinger & Fellman has established expertise with its work in public sector communications and utilities law for the last three decades, and it was a natural progression for the firm to extend into services that will help broadband, IT and technology companies conduct business in Maryland and at the federal level,” reads a press release. Fellman is used to being in the news. Having grown up in New Jersey with politically active parents, and greatly impacted by events like Watergate and the Vietnam

War, he felt a natural draw to study law. In 1976, he landed a job with U.S. Sen. Tim Wirth, D-Colo., in Washington. “That exposed me to Western people and Western issues,” he said. So he started applying to Western law schools and scored with the University of Denver. “I loved it, and I stayed,” he said. He settled in Arvada with his wife, Jill, and two kids. Jill Fellman spent her career working in Jefferson County Schools and has been on its school board for the last two years. Ken Fellman launched his career as a municipal attorney in places like Empire, Clear Creek County and Summit County. But back home in Arvada, a feud was brewing between city council and a special district. “The residents were caught in the middle,” said Fellman. “We finally said enough of this, we have to get this resolved, and we did. … Apparently, that made my stock go up with the city’s mothers and fathers.” He ended up on the city’s planning commission, and went on to be elected to its city council in 1993. He served as mayor of Arvada from 1999 to 2007. When Fellman signed on as Littleton’s attorney, some readers wondered about an incident that happened during a 2004 Arvada campaign, when he was ticketed for removing political signs from a right-ofway.

“It was a political game,” he said. “The district attorney found it was tantamount to throwing trash out of the window of your car, and it’s not illegal to pick up somebody else’s trash.” Having seen the council dais and political follies from both sides, Fellman says it’s given him a unique perspective. “There are certain things elected officials need to do their jobs, and having been there helps me provide that service,” he said. “I am a 100 percent committed local-government advocate, and I have spent the better part of my adult professional life and personal life working to improve my own community and helping my friends and colleagues in other communities to improve theirs.” Fellman is the third city attorney Littleton has hired since 2008. Asked if he thought he’d have better luck than the last two, he said: “I hope so. Not that I think I’m Superman riding into the rescue. … I do know there’s an incentive on the part of council, the administration, staff and me to get it right, and we’re trying very hard to do that.” He expects a major focus going forward to be on updating the city code and the charter. “We’re going to be working on taking a comprehensive look at the city code, making it more user-friendly and cleaning up inconsistencies,” he said. “People say there are areas that are unclear, and now that I work with it every day, I see what they

mean.” In his practice, Fellman represents local governments nationwide in telecommunications law, community broadband deployment, cable television and utilities law. Locally, he’s general counsel for the muchscrutinized Colorado EAGLE-Net, launched with federal money to get broadband to government buildings like schools and libraries across the state. Fellman compares it to building the streets that connect the interstate to your garage. “Implementation has been a real challenge,” he said. “They acknowledge they haven’t done everything they want to do in the time frame they’ve wanted to do it. But many schools and libraries have better connections across the state.” Fellman is past-president of the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors, a group representing the interests of the nation’s local governments in communications matters. He was appointed by governors Bill Ritter and John Hickenlooper to the Colorado Channel Authority. In 2011, he was appointed by the Federal Communication Commission to serve on its Intergovernmental Advisory Committee. He’s an adjunct professor telecommunications law and policy at the University of Colorado Law School. “I’m proud that I’m able to work in an honorable profession where I can help people make a positive difference and earn a living doing it,” he said.

more at Heritage. Specializing in land-use issues, he represented the developer of Littleton Commons, an apartment complex that Littleton City Council recently approved for County Line Road east of Broadway. “I have no agenda other than maintaining the excellence of this district for students and residents,” he said. “I have volunteered in the district for 10 years, so I understand how the district works, but I also bring a business and legal perspective that allows me to see the bigger picture for the benefit of the kids.” Carrie Warren-Gully has been a volunteer in LPS for 13 years. Notably, she chaired the committee that got the 2010 mill levy passed despite the recession. A Centennial resident, her three boys all went to Sandburg Elementary School, Newton Middle School and Arapahoe High School. With her oldest off to college, she’s now had the LPS experience from beginning to end and been active at the school and district levels throughout. “I believe that public education is the most important element of our democ-

a driveway, slows it down and then allows it to naturally infiltrate into the ground. “A rain garden can be thought of as a personal water-quality system, because it filters the runoff from your roof and lawn and recharges the groundwater,” says the network. “A rain garden also conserves municipal water resources by reducing the need for irrigation.” The city of Aurora plans to install 28 rain gardens next spring, and Littleton already has one on the Mary Carter Greenway behind the Carson Nature Center. Such a project would fulfill the HCWG’s first major goal, which is to find ways to repurpose the canal. While Denver Water is committed to keeping it flowing whenever possible, drought years have taken a toll. Most recently, the canal suffered damage in the September downpours, though Denver Water says it will be repaired by spring. Lack of water has contributed to the downfall of the cottonwood canopy along the banks of the canal, many of which are more than 100 years old. “The cottonwoods are going to go,” said Beckman. “They’re going to go due to old age, but it’s being accelerated by the lack of water running through the canal.” He said Cherry Hills Village is testing a drip irrigation system on its stretch, but ultimately the goal is to replace the cottonwoods with native, drought-tolerant trees. The working group’s second major goal is to improve the safety of the trail. Beck-

racy,” she said. “Without education for all our children, regardless of their background, we will fail as a nation and not be ready for the global economy of today.” After the swearing-in ceremony presided over by Littleton Judge Ethan Feldman, the board voted in their new positions. Lucie Stanish is the new president, and Warren-Gully is the new vice president. Perez will serve as treasurer, Mary Nichols as secretary, and Reutzel as assistant secretary. They enter a board well prepared to head into the future with the help of the $80 million bond issue that passed with 60 percent of the vote. “It’s an important issue, and we definitely thank the community for stepping up,” said outgoing member Sue Chandler. Jack Randall, who’s long been an active volunteer at Littleton Preparatory charter school, praised the work of outgoing members Colwell, Chandler and Renee Howell, who were all term-limited. “Finding a board that works together as well as you do would be tough,” said Randall. Colwell declined to take all of the credit. “It’s the past members that have made Littleton Public Schools the great district that it is,” he said. “We have just carried that on.”

man notes it was not designed for recreational use. “More than 120 years ago, the High Line Canal was constructed to deliver irrigation water,” reads the working group’s report. “Since then, the corridor has evolved into a different resource — the High Line Canal Trail. Quietly tucked away in one of America’s greatest metropolitan areas, the trail has become an inspiring recreation destination.” As traffic continues to increase throughout the metro area, there are places where trail crossings are becoming more dangerous. Broadway and Arapahoe Road is a prime example, notes Beckman. But installing either a culvert or an overpass for pedestrian use would cost about $4 million. While the group continues to study these grand-scale plans, it decided to narrow down some smaller projects to take back to the member communities. “We said we can’t sit and wait,” said Beckman. “We didn’t want to lose the synergy and the movement we had.” Council agreed to consider going forward with improvements to bridges on Ridge Road and Elati Street, at a cost of about $200,000 each, and widening the sidewalk on Broadway from Ridge Road to Arapahoe. “This is not going to be ideal, but it could be, perhaps, safer,” said Beckman. Money for the bridge projects could be allocated from the city’s dedicated openspace fund, which is granted by Arapahoe County from voter-approved property taxes. The sidewalk improvements wouldn’t cost the city anything more than what was already in the public-works budget.

New Tri-County director named By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com John Douglas Jr. moved into his new office in late October, assuming the position as executive director of Tri-County Health Department. “We are glad to be back in Colorado. Our daughter lives in Aurora and our son is attending Colorado College,” Douglas said from his office on Nov. 18. “I am looking forward to continuing Tri-County’s great tradition of partnerships and the department’s continuing work seeking to improve the health of the people we serve.” Douglas earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Davidson College in North Carolina and earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. “I worked at the Denver Public Health Department for 19 years before spending the last 10 years at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where there was more of a focus on the national and international health issues,” he said. “Our focus

is much more local here at Tri-County. We serve a very diverse client base. “We serve rural as well as urban areas and a wide income range. Our goal is to reach out to all our clients to improve health and promote a higher quality of Douglas life.” A national search was begun soon after Richard Vogt announced he would leave the executive director’s post when he retired in July. The field was narrowed to four or five finalists who were interviewed for the post and Douglas was selected to fill the vacancy. “In my short time on the job, I have found Tri-County is a strong department, even stronger than I expected,” he said. “We also have a local focus but we still are the health department serving about 1.3 million people who live in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.” Tri-County Health Department is the largest local health department in the state. Its mission is to protect, promote and improve the health, environment and quality of life for all its clients.

Traditional Candlelight Walk coming Day-after-Thanksgiving route follows Main Street By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Now that the zombies and pumpkin poles have cleared out of downtown Littleton, it’s time to look ahead to turkeys, Santa Claus, flame and light. Nov. 29 — the day most people think of as “Black Friday” — is known in Littleton as the much gentler Candlelight Walk and Tree Lighting. The 30th anniversary of this tradition will welcome thousands to Main Street to witness the magic. People will start to gather at 5:15, having parked for free at Arapahoe Community College or light-railing it in. They’ll listen to music performed by Voices West and the Leawood Elementary School Choir while sipping free hot cider from Town Hall Arts Center and Bega Park. At Bradford Auto Body, children can pet Santa’s reindeer as the gentle animals await his return. In the spirit of goodwill, there will be places to donate nonperishable food for Inter-Faith Community Services and toys for the Arap-

ahoe Santa Claus Shop. Visitors will purchase candles for 50 cents, or furnish their own source of illumination — but none so impressive as what Colorado Fire Tribe will brandish during their fire-dance performance. Soon, at about 6 p.m., Santa will board a fire truck — er, sleigh — at the courthouse and make his way down Main Street. As he enters each block, the sparking lights adorning its trees magically come to life to welcome him. The community follows behind, dazzling him with holiday carols. At the end of Santa’s journey on the west end, he’ll be greeted by Anne Trujillo, Littleton resident and television news anchor. He’ll address the crowd from center stage, then invite one lucky child to join him. The child whose name is drawn gets to help throw the switch that lights up the tallest and most colorful of downtown’s trees, in Bowles Plaza next to The Melting Pot. Santa then heads back to Town Hall Arts Center to entertain children’s wishes and pose with them for photos, and parents might be enticed into visiting local merchants by offers of goodies and seasonal bargains.

Aurora native has TV touch

CELTIC MUSIC rocks the house

Musicians find new home at Brew on Broadway By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

Patrons tapped their feet or rapped the table in time to the Celtic music filling the air Nov. 7 as it does each Thursday when musicians gather at the Brew on Broadway, 3445 S. Broadway. “We are just a group of people who love Celtic music and get together to play that music anywhere we can find a location that will have us,” said John Hammer, self-appointed leader. “There is nothing formal or planned. We just get together for an open session the way they do it in Ireland. “A few of us set up and start playing the music we love, and anyone who has the desire is welcome to join in the session. We don’t use sheet music. Every song is played from the memory and from the heart.” He said the sessions had been held at the Celtic Tavern until it recently closed. He was on the lookout for a new place to play and he met with The Brew on Broadway owner Paul Webster, who offered the opportunity to play at the craft brewery on Thursday evenings. There were about 20 musicians taking part in the Nov. 7 session. Musicians young and old played their individual instruments. Frequently, it was a fiddler who started a song, joined by musicians playing guitars, the flute, the banjo, the harmonica and whistle. Hammer joined in on the hammered dulcimer while Patty Oliver, who recently came to Colorado from Illinois, moved around the room as she played the fiddle.

“It is such a joy to make music with others who love the tunes like I do,” she said with a smile. “Every song is played from the heart and a love of playing these tunes.” Nearby, Ginny McKay played the harmonica. “I love being here and playing these songs with others who love Celtic music,” the Englewood resident said. “We all know a lot of songs. Someone will start playing a melody and we just join in with them. I love doing this.” Bear Valley resident Margaret McBride played the whistle. “I have been playing Celtic music since I was knee-high,” the 90-year-old McBride said. “I love the music and it makes me feel good to join the group playing the songs we love.” Webster said he was glad to welcome the Celtic musicians to his craft brewery and coffee house. “It is fun to have them here on Thursday evenings,” he said. “Everyone I have talked to said they like having the Celtic music here in our brewery.” The long-awaited craft brewery opened in July. Webster, an Englewood resident for 29 years, said in an earlier interview that, about a year ago, he was at a point where he needed a job when he and his wife came up with the idea of BOB, which stands for The Brew on Broadway. He said opening a craft brewery has been something he wanted to do for himself and for his community. “I have been brewing beer at home for 29 years, so now I am doing that on a much larger scale,” he said. “We are brewing English-style ales. It takes 10 days to two weeks to complete a brewing process. Then we let the beer age for about a week before we put it in kegs.” He has five brews available, ranging from pale ale to a stout. The business also has a variety of coffees and teas available. But, except for snacks like chips, the Brew on Broadway doesn’t have food. However, Webster said customers can bring their own food or place orders to have food delivered to them at the brewery.

When Aurora native Josh Ackerman first heard Christina Aguilera sing, he said he knew she was bound for pop-singing stardom. “I remember when Christina Aguilera’s audition tape came in, she was singing like Whitney Houston,” Ackerman said about his fellow Disney’s “Mickey Mouse Club” alum. “I knew that she more than anybody was going to be a mega star.” Ackerman, who moved from Colorado to Orlando, Fla., when he was 11, answered an open casting call for the famed “Mickey Mouse Club,” and landed a place on the show. During his tenure there (he was the only male cast member who stayed on from the pilot to the last episode when he was 18), Ackerman performed alongside Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling and (Highlands Ranch native) Keri Russell. But Ackerman’s show business career shifted from in front of the camera to behind it. He learned the basics of what would become his craft by hanging out with editors and producers to learn the intricacies of their jobs. About five years ago, Ackerman and his business partners built Bodega Pictures from a garage-based fledgling start-up to a full service production house with more than 50 employees and five network deals including shows in development with AMC, E! and the Cooking Channel. At the end of last month, his show “South Beach Tow” on TruTV returned with a new season. On Sunday, the Bodega-produced show “On the Rocks” premieres on the Food Network. “On the Rocks” features host John Green, founder of a bar consulting company, as he travels around the U.S. in his quest to turn around failing bars. “He can change little things that can bring in big dollars for the owners,” Ackerman said. Ackerman said he hasn’t returned to Denver for seven or eight years — “I’ve been building my business,” he said.

Just two guys

I told you recently about Broncos linebacker Von Miller’s fundraiser for his charity Von’s Vision, which gives glasses to kids in need. Many of Miller’s teammates showed up to mix and mingle with fans, sign souvenir footballs and serve a multi-course dinner at Ocean Prime on Larimer Square. Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, who was mobbed by admirers, spoke briefly to me about his short stint on the reality series “Eric & Jessie: Game On,” a show on E! about wide receiver Eric Decker and his new bride Jessie James in the weeks leading up to their wedding. Thomas, whom Decker calls his best friend on the team (hence the moniker “Black and Decker”), appeared in the episode on Decker’s bachelor party in Lake Tahoe where the manly men vied for the title of MVP. I asked Thomas about his appearance on the show-and-tell show where the gang golfs and drinks beer and goes out on a boat and drinks beer. “He’s a buddy so I thought I’d do it for him,” Thomas said about his brief show biz stint. As to the episode? Thomas said he hasn’t seen it. Parker continues on Page 14

College’s Writers Studio hosted an event to celebrate the publication of the book (on the Oct. 9 anniversary of the day she was shot in the head). Kathryn Winograd, who heads the Writers Studio, issued an invitation to the community at large and to the area community of poets to attend. Colorado poet Joseph Hutchinson, who was asked to edit the anthology, opened the evening’s program, saying he had invited Andrea Watson to assist him and they had received about 100 to 150 poems each week from around the world. (They read them all.) At first, the words were angry, but as good news came that Malala — who was carried to England and cared for by a pair of doctors there — was recovering, the tone shifted. “They ended up with a broad representation of emotion.” Included in those selected for publication were works by Winograd and Chris Ransick of the ACC faculty. Hutchinson started the poetry readings with his own and one by Jane Hillberry, who teaches at Colorado

College, then invited poets in the audience who had poems in the finished volume to read, plus others from the active community of Colorado poets and several ACC faculty members. Each read two poems. Hearing these poets read, including Kathryn Winograd reading her own contribution, “etymology of girl,” reminded me that poetry is really meant to be read aloud. The impact is greatly enhanced. The evening closed with a representative of the Denver-based notfor-profit, Women’s Development Association, speaking about their work in Lahore, Pakistan, where there is 27 percent literacy overall — almost none among women. They offer a two-year literacy class for women, and some have gone on to the undergraduate level. They also offer computer classes and assist with health issues and micro loans. “Poems for Malala” can be ordered in paperback or Kindle e-book edition from Amazon.com, and all proceeds will go to the Malala Fund.

munities. But Gabby doesn’t purport to be the be-all and end-all last word in restaurant critiques. Rather, she offers ratings — from the tip top To Die For to a low rating of three pigs — based on a five-pig scale. Making the coveted To Die For list this year? Barolo Grill, Frasca Food & Wine, Fruition, L’Atelier (Boulder), Linger, Mizuna, Oak at Fourteenth (Boulder), Old Major, Rioja, Root Down and Shanahan’s. The book is on sale (for $18.95) at area bookstores and select restaurants and grocers. For more restaurant ruminations from Gabby, visit www.gabbygourmet.com.

Buntport tackles Greek tragedy ‘Electra’ is skewed by theater troupe By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Inventive Buntport Theater members have again taken a literary classic and skewed it in their own inimitable manner. Perceiving similarities between Sophocles’ Greek tragedies and today’s soap operas, they chose to produce a “modern” version of “Electra” by Sophocles — a violent tale of murder and more murder. The set includes a kitchen, an outside green area with a grave and a den-like space with easy chair and TV. Electra weeps a great deal in the original as she mourns her late father, Agamemnon, who was killed by his wife, Electra’s mother Clytemnestra, so she could marry Aegisthus. Buntport’s writing team has Electra (Erin Rollman) constantly chopping onions for pie to ensure copius crying, while evil Clytemnesrtra (Hanna Duggan) watches soaps on a TV in the next room. Electra longs for her brother Orestes (Erik Edborg) who wanders home from his travels, ac-

companied by a guy named if you go Bruce (Drew Horwitz). Characters intersperse Buntport Theater lines from the original play is at 717 Lipan St., with new dialogue and Denver.

Tickets: Michael Morgan, Jessica $16/$13. 720-946Roblee and Brian Colonna) 1388, stuff@buntport. — and plot to eliminate com. Clytemnestra. There will be blood! As audiences have come to expect, the production is clever and silly. Leave preconceived expectations at home and come to enjoy the work of a very original theater company. Members have worked together in Denver for more than 10 years since they graduated from Colorado College together, using classics as source material as they write their material — and at times creating new works, including musicals, from scratch. (I found it useful to look at a summary or two of Sophocles’ original play prior to heading for the theater, just to get the names straight!)

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Although your energy level is high, be careful not to commit to too many projects at this time. You’ll do better focusing on just a few tasks rather than spreading yourself too thin.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your heart might be leading you in one direction, but pay attention to your keen Bovine intellect. I’m cautioning you to think things through before making any commitments.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your “serious” Twin has been dominant in your life for quite a while. It’s time now to let that “wilder” half take you out for some good times -- perhaps with someone very special.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Career aspects are high for Moon Children who make a good impression. Show people not only what you can already do, but also how you can be more valuable to them in the future. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Things start to brighten for the Lion’s immediate financial future. But be careful to resist the urge to splurge. You need to tuck something away to help you through another tight period. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Having to do too many tasks in too short a time could lower your mood to just above the grumbling level. But if you handle things one at a time, you’ll get through it all soon enough. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your usually carefully made holiday plans could be subject to change later this month. Use this week to prepare for that possibility by starting a Plan B just in case you need it. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Be careful about joining a colleague’s plan to solve a workplace problem. Investigate it thoroughly. Otherwise, you could find yourself in a predicament with other associates. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Slow down that high-paced whirl you’ve been on. Spending quiet time alone or with people you care for can be both physically and spiritually restorative. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Make suggestions, not demands. You’ll be more successful in getting people to follow your lead if you exercise quiet patience instead of strong persuasion to get your ideas across. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) You still need more facts before you can make an informed career choice. One note of caution: Be careful about whom you ask for that information; otherwise, you could be misled. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Changing situations through the end of the week could lead to some challenging opportunities for those perspicacious Pisceans who know how to make them work to their advantage. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of being both daring and cautious, traits that could make you a research scientist or maybe even a rocket-ship designer.

Cherokee Trail bests Creek in 5A state football game By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com There were frowns of pain and disappointment and even some tears on the Cherry Creek sideline as the final minute ticked away in the Nov. 15 Class 5A football quarterfinal game, where Cherokee Trail has beat the Bruins 27-14. “That is a really good football team, and you can’t turn the ball over six times and expect to win,” Dave Logan, Bruins coach, said after the game. “Our kids did some good things, but give them credit, they were very good on both sides of the ball and we wish them well.” The Bruins bested Cherokee Trail by one point in the regular season and appeared ready to do it again. Cherry Creek’s defense stopped the Cougars later in the fourth period and forced a punt. With just under two minutes left to play and trailing 20-14, Cherry Creek was marching toward the end zone. But the Bruins’ bid to win ended there when Izaiah Lottie picked off a Cherry Creek aerial and raced 48 yards for a Cherokee Trail touchdown to seal the Cougars win. The loss ended the season for the Bruins, and Cherokee Trail moves to the state semifinals against Valor Christian. The Nov. 15 game started out as a give-andtake battle. That changed with 2:17 left in the first quarter, when Cherokee Trail scored on a long run. The Cougars added another touchdown midway through the second period to build a 14-0 advantage by halftime. Logan said he made some halftime adjustments. “They are big and tough up front, which makes them a very tough team to run against,” he said. “We did throw a few more passes and mixed up the attack a bit. Late in the game, it looked good for us when we were down six and moving the ball. But they got the interception and won the game.” Logan said he will lose some important cogs in the Bruins game plan, but he looked ahead and said the team will get over a painful loss, and Cherry Creek will move into the off-season working to rebuild the varsity so they can return to the state playoffs. After the game, running back Nathan Starks said Cherokee Trail was tough against the run, but Cherry Creek played hard, grinding out yardage. “The blockers gave me seams at times and I just tried to run hard to gain as much yardage as possible,” he said. “I got banged up a couple

The Bruins’ defense was stingy most of the game, holding Cherokee Trail’s explosive offense to 275 yards. Defensive lineman Bret Hollenbeck said he

didn’t want to talk bad about the team, but he didn’t feel they weren’t that strong up front. “They came in with a good game plan,” he said. “They knew what we run and worked well against it. At the same time, tonight we didn’t play like this team can play on either offense or defense.” The senior played linebacker his sophomore year and moved to the defensive line for his junior and senior seasons. “They move me around, sometimes inside and sometime outside,” he said. “I like being outside because I only have one guy on me and I get to hit more people.”

Johnson, Power nab softball honors Ponderosa, Vista players take game to next level By Jim Benton

jbenton@ ourcoloradonews.com Ally Power has the type of mental approach that helps make her one of the state’s top softball pitchers. Rachel Johnson finally started feeling comfortable at the plate and showed this season what many people expected from her. Power, a junior at Ponderosa, has been tabbed as Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Pitcher of the year. Johnson, a senior first baseman at Mountain Vista, was selected as the South Metro Softball Player of the Year. Power pitched the Mustangs into the Class 4A state semifinals. She won 16 games with seven shutout performances and collected one save. Ponderosa coach Toby Tabola raves about Power’s mental approach and team-first attitude as much as her strikeout ability. Tabola points out that his headline pitcher always

picking the athletes of the year Choosing CoLorAdo Community Media’s South Metro Athletes of the Year was a combined effort. Area coaches were asked for their thoughts, and their input was weighed heavily when CCM’s sports staff made the final selection for each sport. ELigibLE AthLEtEs come from all the high schools in Douglas County, the high schools in the Littleton Public Schools District and from Cherry Creek High School. seems to focus on the next batter, despite maybe having given up a key hit or having a fielding miscue allow a runner to reach base on the previous at-bat. “The mental thing is all about not letting things get to you,” said Power. “You just have to not think too much and do what you do.” Power yielded 17 earned runs in 152 innings pitched during the recently concluded season and compiled a 0.78 earned run average. She struck out 177 batters, and opposing batters managed only a .128 batting average against her. She also hit .442 with 19 RBIs and four home runs. “I try to improve every year, and this year I did improve with everything, especially batting and pitching,” admitted Power. In two seasons, Power has fanned 385 batters in 305 innings pitched. Her fastball, which she throws

between 65 and 67 mph, and her rise are two of her best pitches. “I just practice a lot,” said Power. “This was one of the best seasons Ponderosa girls have had. We went pretty far and bonded well as a team. I was happy with the results.” Johnson worked with a hitting coach last summer and stepped up big-time at the plate with excellent results. “I did pretty well,” she said. ”It was definitely my best year by far. I had a lot of good coaching and that was a big part of it” Johnson hit .463 with eight homers, 34 RBIs and a .981 slugging percentage. “I felt a lot more comfortable at the plate because people were telling me I had what it takes,” added Johnson. “People had always told me I was a good hitter but I didn’t put it together. “I just approached it as

It was my senior year and I wanted to do what I could to help my team, so I guess in that sense it was a different approach. “I just went into the season saying this is my last year and I want to go out with a bang, and I guess I did that.”

Valor advances to football semifinals By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Valor Christian’s football season, except for a loss to Bingham, Utah, in the second game of the season on Sept. 7, has lacked adversity. The last Colorado team to put up much of a battle against the Eagles was Cherokee Trail in last season’s Class 5A state championship. Valor wound up winning that game, 9-0. Valor, which overwhelmed Columbine 49-13 in a quarterfinal game Nov. 15 before 5,200 fans at Valor Stadium, will go against Cherokee Trail Nov. 23 in a 1 p.m. semifinal playoff game at Legacy Stadium. “Cherokee Trail is always very athletic and they are very disciplined,” said Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman. “It’s not going to be easy for us.” After the loss to Bingham, the Eagles have had it easy by outscoring opponents 510-94 in the past 10 games. Valor, seeking its fifth consecutive state championship and second in Class 5A, collected its 16th straight playoff win with a proficient offensive and smothering defensive performance against the Rebels. The Eagles never punted and scored on their first seven possessions to grab a 49-6 lead and initiate the running clock with 7:10 left in the

third quarter. Valor, which amassed 261 yards total offense in the first quarter alone, finished with 510 yards of offense and averaged 10 yards per play. The Eagles’ massive offensive line of 305-pound Alec Ruth, 295-pound Ryan Cummings, 280-pound Cody Bratten, 265-pound Sam Kozan and 310-pound Isaiah Holland deserved much of the credit as senior running back Christian McCaffrey and quarterback A.J. Cecil picked apart the Columbine defense. McCaffrey, who had only one carry in the second half, rushed for 272 yards and three touchdowns. He also caught two passes for 37 yards with one resulting in a TD. The senior who will play at Stanford next season has 35 touchdowns this season. Cecil completed nine of 11 passes for 129 yards and one touchdown. He led a 98-yard, second-quarter TD march that pushed Valor to a 42-6 halftime advantage. “We were efficient offensively,” admitted Sherman. “We were really pleased with the win. Most of all when you play a team like Columbine, you know how physical they are and how they are going to run the ball. It was a great challenge for the defense. To give up one play by our starting defense was exceptional.”

Columbine’s Bernard McDondle scored on a 69-yard run in the first quarter and was one of three big plays for the visitors. Austin Norton had an 85-yard kickoff return in the second period but the Rebels failed to score on four attempts after Norton gave Columbine a first-and-goal from the 10-yard line. Columbine scored late in the fourth quarter against the Eagles reserves when quarterback Michael Tait and Norton hooked up on a 70-yard TD pass. “I thought probably the series of the game was when we gave up the long kickoff return and then held them for four plays inside the 10-yard line and came out and went 98 yards for a touchdown,” said Sherman. “There have been little pockets of adversity this season,” he continued. “Against Columbine after their long run cut the lead to 14-6, it wasn’t freaking out our guys. There was consistency in their demeanor. Our guys are realists. We’ve been fortunate the last couple weeks against some pretty good teams that the ball has bounced in our direction. Our team is ready to be in a dogfight against Cherokee Trail.” Valor was whistled for 10 penalties, including four for holding, against the Rebels.
