Ketring gets another shot at water Canal was damaged in September deluge By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Ketring Park neighbors are celebrating news that Denver Water is filling the lake with water straight out of a nearby fire hydrant. “I say we all shout it out for Larry (Borger), Denver Water and city of Littleton for arriving at such an unusual yet wonderful solution,” Alicia Rudnicki wrote in an email to her neighbors. “Maybe we all

should visit the lake … with champagne in hand.” This action follows an unsuccessful attempt to fill Ketring Lake via the High Line Canal in September. Stacey Chesney, spokesperson for Denver Water, explains that the day that effort began, Sept. 11, was the same day heavy rainfall and eventual flooding began along the Front Range. “We had to stop running the canal the next day because of the significant flooding and damage to portions of the canal, so Ketring Lake never filled,” she said. “The damage to the canal also prohibited us from running the canal again after the storms subsided. And now the forebay, which supplies water to the canal, has

been drained for the winter.” The city persisted, and the agreement to run the potable water from the canal was reached. It will cost about $3,900, the same amount the city normally pays to fill the lake from the canal. It was expected to begin Nov. 12 and take 10 to 15 days. Chesney says Denver Water plans to have the canal completely repaired in time for next spring. “Additionally, our reservoirs are not full at this time, but we are in a much better position heading into this winter with system-wide reservoir levels at 96 percent full,” she said.

Community gathers to thank its heroes Veterans Day ceremony draws hundreds in Littleton By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com About 300 people turned out to Littleton’s World War II Memorial on Nov. 11, a golden autumn day, to honor veterans present and past who have stood firm in their protection of the nation. “Let us never forget that we can’t celebrate the joy without remembering the great price we paid for that freedom,” said Ed Pietsch, commander of American Legion George C. Evans Post 103. His thought was underscored by 26 peals of a bell, each signifying a veteran Littleton lost over the last year. Pietsch called them unsung heroes. “Their families may be the only ones who knew their names and the sacrifices they made,” he said. Mayor Debbie Brinkman acknowlPOSTAL ADDRESS

edged she can never fully appreciate those sacrifices, but stood before her city’s heroes simply as a grateful American representing all grateful Americans to say “thank you.” “The enormity of their sacrifice is beyond compare,” she said. “So how do we dare to believe that two words, eight letters is enough? … It isn’t enough to say it, we need to be it. Ceremonies are important, but our gratitude has to be more than once a year. We have to honor their efforts by living well.” Charles Dwyer of the American Legion took the opportunity to remind the observers that the day was also the 60th anniversary of the end of hostilities in the Korean War. “All veterans have earned the right to be treated with dignity and respect,” said Jack Woodman, commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars Pat Hannon Post 4666. He urged all citizens to help ensure that all who have served to protect the country are in turn protected by that country.

One person’s art is often another person’s expensive cleanup job. But, says one park ranger, “Most of the time it’s just nonsense.” Dan Scheuerman, senior park ranger at South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, says graffiti has been on the rise throughout the district since a sudden, unexplainable increase in 2007. Since then, the district has counted 1,067 incidents for a cleanup cost of about $263,000. “Time and money spent removing graffiti could be spent on upkeep and enhancements to parks, trails, open space and facilities,” said SSPR spokesperson Jamie DeBartolomeis in a press release. Since late August, there have been 40 incidents across the district. Scheuerman often sees more graffiti in the fall, he says, as kids settle back into school. Most of it is innocent, just kids goofing off, he says. “Those 14-year-olds can run pretty fast,” said Scheuerman. “Unless you happen to get lucky, it’s almost impossible to catch them.” Littleton Police Officer Jim Hanna agrees. “To be honest, we’ve seen a reduction in gang activity,” he said. “People used to talk about the wannabes, and then it got real.” He’s referring to the shooting death of DaVon Flores in October 2012. Three men have been arrested and are awaiting trial. Hanna worked as a school-resource officer for several years, and said Littleton Public Schools is good about keeping any and all gang activity, including graffiti, away from its buildings. “It almost seems like it’s a reprieve for the kids that they don’t have to deal with it there,” he said. But wander the culverts and trails of the city, and you’ll see plenty of evidence that even if the kids aren’t in gangs, there’s plenty of gathering going on. Most of it is doodling, name-calling or just nonsense, as Scheuerman calls it. A particularly ironic one proclaims, “Jesus loves you.” If that artist also supports “Do unto others,” presumably she’d be glad to pay the $500 Scheuerman said it cost to remove her work. “There’s not a lot for teenagers to do,” said Hanna. “They get chased out of the parks by people who think they might be

Holiday cards spread awareness, joy Proceeds benefit Children’s Hospital By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com For the past 20-plus years, patients from the Children’s Hospital Colorado’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders have created designs for holiday cards. Once the winning designs are selected, cards are then sold to help raise money for the center and purchase items such as wigs and medical bracelets for patients. Among the 10 artists selected out of 91 entries this year were 6-year-old Bella Webster from Highlands Ranch and 11-yearold Liberty Tyus of Littleton. Bella, a first-grader at Cherry Hills Christian School, has leukemia and a love of dolphins. She plans to take a trip to swim with one once her treatment is done. Liberty, meanwhile, is a sixth-grade honor student at Goddard Middle School. She was diagnosed with acute lymphoma in second grade, and after two years of chemotherapy treatments she is now in full remission, and as opposed to dolphins now keeps busy swimming with Piranhas — the local club swim team, that is. Both girls received $250 cash and a special plaque from the Holiday Card Project for their designs, but for Liberty what was more important was the knowledge she was helping and educating others. “The money goes to research,” Liberty said. “And if you see someone with one of these cards that we made, most people are

going to ask, ‘Where did you get it?’ It really helps spread awareness about cancer and what it does to kids.” It is the second year in a row Liberty has won the contest and the budding artist plans on entering again next year. “It’s an amazing feeling for me that people are seeing and buying my cards,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to sell my artwork. I used to have a dream that I wanted to open up a store but I didn’t get around to it ... probably because I was 3.” Liberty’s design — which was inspired by the fact that Christmas has always been something to look forward to, especially while she was in chemotherapy — shows a hilly scene with a girl at one end, a home at the other, and wintry features, including a snowman, in between. The message on the card is: “Life is a journey. It has ups and downs. But you can always count on Christmas being one of the ups.” Bella’s card features a picture of a colorful wreath with the timeless “Happy Holidays” message written above the wreath. “It is a nice way to recognize kids and their talents,” said Connie Brakken-Smith, project co-chair for the second straight year. “It’s also a way for them to do something creative that makes them feel like a normal kid without an illness and for those kids that get selected to be celebrated. Some of the art is pretty amazing too.” To buy cards or a white chocolate pretzel tin, visit www.holidaycardproject.org, call 720-777-6286 or go to the hospital gift shop at 13123 E. 16th Ave. in Aurora. They will also be available at the new Children’s Hospital at Plaza Drive and Lucent Boulevard in Highlands Ranch after Dec. 4.

Veterans Day ceremonies held About 1,000 attend event at Fort Logan By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com A steady parade of men, women and children moved into place Nov. 11 for the annual Veterans Day Ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery. Every year, the Department of Colorado, District 10 Veterans of Foreign Wars and Ladies Auxiliary sponsor the event that follows a traditional agenda. This year, members of the Civil Air Patrol posted the colors, and there were patriotic songs sung by Cassandra Ellis, an Air Force veteran. There were speeches before a wreath was placed at a symbolic headstone, bagpiping by retired Marine Master Gun-

nery Sgt. Ken Giese and the rifle salute by members of VFW Post 9644 honor guard. Members of Bugles across America played “Taps.” Many individuals and groups decided to do something to mark Veterans Day. The Campbell and Luckenbill children are homeschooled. Their parents had them prepare thank-you notes they handed out to veterans. Near time for the ceremonies to start, buses dropped off 24 young people from the Littleton Public Schools transition program so they could be at the event. Many of the students brought wreaths they had made. Each wreath was designated for a particular military service and the students placed the wreaths next to the headstone of a veteran of those services. Also, members of the Mountain View Chapter of Young Marines were in uniform. They handed out pro-

grams, stood with the flags near the podium and assisted in the ceremonies. Retired Marine Gunnery Sgt. Pedro L. Galan attended the ceremony in full dress uniform. He and his wife Elida stood during the event and they joined in singing “God Bless America.” It was John Pentergast’s first time to attend the Fort Logan event. He said he attended because he was visiting from Ohio and took the opportunity to honor two friends buried at Fort Logan. “I served in Desert Storm and two of the guys I served with are here at (Fort) Logan,” he said is an emotional voice. “They were guys in my unit who didn’t come home. I visited their graves and I wanted to do more. So, I felt paying tribute to them and all veterans by attending the ceremonies was the least I could do in their memory.”

Fallen hero honored at St. Mary’s Pat Hannon graduated, then went to Vietnam By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com As the wind blew some of the last autumn leaves to the ground Nov. 11, St. Mary Catholic School remembered a fallen hero during a Veterans Day ceremony. “When I pass through the pearly gates, I expect to see Lt. Cpl. Patrick J. Hannon protecting them,” said Deacon Paul Grimm during the invocation. Hannon, a St. Mary’s graduate, was Littleton’s first confirmed casualty of the Vietnam War. He is buried in Littleton Cemetery. Hannon was a proud member of India Company, 3rd Battalion, 9th Marines, 3rd Marine Division, and in country for just a year. The rifleman was gunned down in Quang Nam Province on Sept. 3, 1966, exactly a month before he would have turned 20.

He drew his last breath the next day. Hannon’s twin brother, Mike, remembers being at Elitch’s amusement park with his new bride on that day, and suddenly feeling unwell enough to go home. “It seems like when Pat was hit, Mike felt it, which is amazing,” said Jack Woodman, commander of Littleton’s Veterans of Foreign Wars Pat Hannon Post 4666. The post number reflects the years 1946, when Hannon was born, and 1966, when he died. In addition to his namesake post, members of the Knights of Columbus St. Padre Pio Assembly 2813 were on hand in all their aplomb, escorting two U.S. Marines to unveil a plaque recognizing Hannon’s ultimate sacrifice. “We are here today to honor Patrick for his service and, by the dedication of this plaque, say to Patrick and his family, `You are not forgotten,’” said Don Ferega, faithful navigator of the Knights assembly. Father Alvaro Montero blessed

a Marine’s poeM Pat Hannon happened to meet war correspondent Jim G. Lucas just before he was wounded, and offered him the following poem he had written. Lucas published it in his book, “Dateline Vietnam,” in 1966. My Plea It is not a good feeling to have to kill, but when your country’s in need you know you will. We’ve been in VietNam for several months now and we’re hardly ready to take our bow. We’ve seen some fellow Marines go down but I’m sure each one is heaven bound. If my time is here to be, I ask a favor from you to me. Answer my one and only plea ... Keep America Free

Chatfield watershed draft plan released Group’s focus is on pollutant mitigation Staff report The group working on a vision for the future of the Chatfield watershed has developed a draft plan and wants the public to weigh in. “The Chatfield Watershed Plan provides an essential framework for prioritizing and protecting our local natural resources,” Casey Davenhill, executive director of the Colorado Watershed Assembly, said in a press release. “It also offers citizens educational information to help adults, kids, pet owners, farmers and others take responsible action to safeguard public health and safety that ultimately affects water quality in all of our communities.” The CWA was established in 1984 by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in an effort to protect water quality throughout the watershed, which includes parts of Douglas and Jefferson counties.

The Chatfield Water Authority wants public input on its mitigation plan. File photo Member agencies include the Audubon Society, Denver Water, a variety of water and sanitation districts, several municipalities, the Denver Urban Water Partnership and many more.

Canal Continued from Page 1

SUPPORT

After Denver Water took over Littleton’s service in 1970, it agreed to keep Ketring Lake full, to the extent possible, with water channeled from canal. But after several years of drought conditions, Denver Water decided to let the canal stay empty this year, and the lake was drying up.

The plan focuses on stream restoration and mitigating the effects of wildfire and erosion. It calls for diverting runoff away from areas polluted by such things as animal waste and de-

As part of a long-term solution, the city paid $18,000 for a study on the feasibility of drilling to access underground aquifers. Charlie Blosten, director of public works, requested $500,000 in the 2014 budget to cover design, testing and construction of a well that would not only fill the lake but water up to 30 acres at Ketring Park, Littleton Museum, Bemis Library, Gallup Park and Gallup Gardens. He expected to need at least that much more in the 2015 budget to complete design of pumping and irriga-

Council rejected that request. “I have a huge concern with the price tag,” said Mayor Debbie Brinkman during a Sept. 10 study session. “I don’t want to just let it sit there and get messy and icky. … But I don’t think Ketring Lake is sustainable, and I don’t think drilling a well for $1 million is a good idea right now.” She suggested using the money for a master plan of the area, which might include “repurposing” the lake.

serves as one of many watersupply reservoirs for the City of Denver and other Front Range communities, which is why it’s essential for all citizens to understand how human, animal and recreational activities affect water quality and the natural ecosystems that co-exist with one another,” said Julie Vlier, supervising engineer at Tetra Tech, the firm that conducted the study for CWA. “The inclusive public process in which the watershed plan has been carefully developed focuses on the practical actions that will lead to significant improvements to water quality in this vital watershed.” CWA will accept public comments through January, then organize them in time for a final public meeting in the spring. It can be viewed at www.chatfieldwatershedauthority.org; click on “Watershed Plan,” then “Plan Documentation.” Send comments to julie.vlier@tetratech. com. This plan is entirely separate from the pending Chatfield reallocation project, the final draft of which was released in September. It can be viewed at www.chatfieldstudy.org.

A short-term solution to divert water from Englewood’s McClellan Reservoir in Douglas County has been proposed by former City Manager Larry Borger, who lives in the Ketring neighborhood. Englewood is legally obligated to let Littleton have 35 acre-feet of water a year to replace evaporated water in Cooley Lake, which is south of South Platte Park. But Littleton only uses about 19 acre-feet a year, so Borger feels the city has a right to do whatever it wants with the other 16.

New laws won’t affect much, says Penny Changes to meetings, zoning processes approved by voters By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com City Manager Michael Penny says two new laws on Littleton’s books initiated by citizens and passed by voters Nov. 5 will have little practical effect on the dayto-day operations of the city. “We will abide by the will of the voters,” he said. Initiative 301 passed with about 73 percent of the vote. It limits city council’s use of executive sessions to only matters that state and federal law require be kept confidential, and to filed court cases. Penny said that means there will be very few executive sessions going forward, but there will likely be lots more memos circu-

Littleton City Manager Michael Penny says there will be few executive sessions going forward. File photo lated that will be protected by attorney/client confidentiality, with council as the client. “The decision has always hap-

pened in public,” he said. “Nothing else will shift into the public arena, essentially.” Because open-meetings laws

only apply when four or more council members are involved, staff will still have the ability to meet with them three at a time or call them individually. Penny said it could be more time consuming, thereby more expensive. “The big shift is that the council does not have the ability to deliberate among themselves anymore,” he said. Initiative 302 passed with about 57 percent of the vote. It requires five members of council to approve a rezone instead of a simple majority, in cases where the planning board has voted against it or if 20 percent of property owners within 100 feet of the site file a protest. “I fully believe that a rezone should have to meet a high bar,” said Penny. “But the issue is more if the code is representative of the community’s values. It’s about the code, not the process. The comprehensive plan and the zoning

map need updated.” The two initiatives were spearheaded by a grassroots group called Citizens for Rational Development, which has launched efforts against various high-density residential projects cropping up around town. “It is monumental,” they wrote in an email to members. “A real accomplishment. It all makes me proud, and I have to say I actually enjoyed most of the work. I met such wonderful people, enjoyed my time with them, and I am grateful of the new circle of concerned and special citizens.” While the ballot issues passed, the group’s support of challengers to incumbent city councilors fell flat. Bruce Beckman and Bruce Stahlman won with about 33 percent and 31 percent of the vote, respectively. CRD-backed candidates John Watson and James Dean trailed with about 21 percent and 15 percent, respectively.

Reutzel poised for win in LPS election Warren-Gully, Perez solid for top two slots By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Just 69 votes made the difference between taking a seat on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education and going back to the drawing board. Assuming the results as of press time hold, Jack Reutzel snagged the third seat at the table with 12,622 votes, or 19.59 percent, slipping past Dallas Jones who finished with

12,553 (19.48 percent) and Robert Reichardt who finished with 12,547 (19.47 percent). “I won’t be pronouncing any winners until after the canvass, which is Nov. 22,” Matt Crane, Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder, said on Nov. 7. “However, with that said, I don’t anticipate much change in vote totals after the updated count we release this afternoon.” “Congratulations to the winning candidates,” said Jones. “LPS is in good hands going forward. Let’s give them our full support.” The other two winners were Carrie Warren-Gully, who snagged the top spot with

13,694 votes, and Kelly Perez who picked up 13,011 votes. “I wanted to thank all the voters who voted for me, and my friends for their sup-

port and hard work during this campaign,” said Perez. “I look forward toward serving the next four years in the LPS school community.” Reutzel is ahead by just enough to prevent an automatic recount, which kicks in when there is less than a half of a percent difference among the candidates. Any candidate could ask for one but would have to pay for it out of pocket. Thus far, none have indicated that they would. Assuming the results stand, Warren-Gully, Perez and Reutzel will replace Sue Chandler, Bob Colwell and Renee Howell, who were all term-limited.

Court fines may rise

In April, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed a state bill that allows municipalities to raise maximum court fines from $1,000 to $2,650. On Nov. 5, Littleton City Council passed on first reading an ordinance that will do just that. Aside from taxes, court fines are one of the largest revenue generators for the city. The amount exceeded $1.6 million in both 2012 and 2013, and includes fees paid for failures to stop as captured by the red-light cameras. The judge ultimately determines the amount of the fine, and many defendants are charged less than the maximum. Council will make a final decision after a public hearing on Nov. 19.

Metro State and Colorado Heights Universities Partner to improve student success Chamber Investors Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver) and Colorado Heights University (CHU) have partnered to authorize general studies and business core transfer credits toward a Bachelor of Science degree in one of five business disciplines: accounting, computer information systems, finance, management and marketing. “This partnership focuses on removing perceived barriers to education, while encouraging greater diversity of ideas and backgrounds in our programs,” says Ann Murphy, dean of the MSU Denver School of Business. “Both universities feel that, through this arrangement, we can attract new students that may not otherwise consider either institution individually.” Fifteen courses, equating to more than three semesters of classes, now are preauthorized for transfer to MSU Denver with a grade of C or higher. CHU students must meet all of MSU Denver’s standard admission and application requirements.

“Whether our students come from the local neighborhoods or from countries overseas, students can receive individualized support at CHU at the start, to assist them in getting acclimated to the college experience, and then move on to a much larger academic offering at MSU Denver,” says Doug Bjerkaas, CHU chief operating officer, adding that this partnership with MSU Denver is the first of its kind and it gives us the opportunity to provide additional options to students we strive to serve. MSU Denver and CHU have advisers to help students get credits transferred. CHU’s next program cycle starts Oct. 28 and MSU Denver’s application deadline for the spring semester is Nov. 18. Another benefit to the partnership allows students to live in student housing on the CHU campus at an affordable student rate, ranging from $180 to $400 a month. CHU’s dorms are just 1.5 miles from the Englewood light-rail station, providing easy access to downtown Denver and

Construction season grinds to a halt More of the same expected for 2014 By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com The busiest road construction season in Highlands Ranch history is grinding to a halt and Douglas County Traffic Engineer Darrell Roberts says the county should be done with its last stretch of work, along Lucent Boulevard and Plaza Drive, by Dec. 1. “All of the contracted maintenance work scheduled in Highlands Ranch for 2013 is complete except the grinding contract,” Roberts said. “If the weather holds we think most of the grinding will be complete, however the replacement of all joint sealants will need to be completed next spring.” The county got behind schedule due to this fall’s heavy rains, but likes its chances at completing the grinding work this month. The sealant work is expected to take place between April and June 2014 on all of the arterial roads the county did concrete work on this year, including Highlands Ranch Parkway between Fairview and Santa Fe, Lucent from C-470 to Broadway and Plaza Drive from Lucent to Broadway. As per next year, more concrete replacement work and grinding work is being planned for Highlands Ranch on Broadway

Concrete grinding projects for 2013 are expected to be complete in Highlands Ranch by the end of November, but the Highlands Ranch Parkway, Lucent and Plaza projects will all require joint sealant work between April and June 2014.

Englewood swim program honored ‘Make a Splash’ lessons win award from state By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Colorado Parks and Recreation Association presented Englewood the Columbine Award for innovation for its “Make a Splash” program at the association’s annual conference on Sept. 27. The aquatics department of the Englewood Parks and Recreation Department teamed up with USA Swimming to expand awareness about the importance of water safety. Since 2010, the department has awarded more than $14,000 in grants to pay for free or reduced cost swimming lessons for at-risk children. The grant was used to provide scholarships. The scholarship program boosted the number of children registered for swim

lessons by 20 percent from 2009 to 2012. Grant funds also helped make it possible for the recreation department to give away about 1,000 free passes to either Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Center or the indoor pool at the Englewood Recreation Center. Brad Anderson, aquatics supervisor, said the grants were needed since 50 percent of students in Englewood schools are considered at-risk. About 67 percent of those children receive free lunch or lunch at a reduced cost. The grant funds were used up during the summer swimming lessons. However, the parks and recreation department continue to provide scholarships for all or part of the cost of swimming lessons to children of needy families. In a press release, Anderson said teaching children how to swim ensures their safety in the water. He noted the in-water lifeguard assists decreased from an average of 50 a year to 14 in 2012.

grinding work will span July 1-Oct. 15, Roberts said. Sealant work on those roads will likely take place the following spring. “The good news is a lot of (roads) have already had concrete repairs in previous years so we don’t anticipate a lot of time consumption for that part of the project,” Roberts said. “There will be more grinding work, which helps to smooth out the roads, but that is a lot quicker movement through the traffic control zones.” Roberts also expects vehicles to be able to move through cone zones faster next year. “We had some real long cone zones this year and we are going to restrict the contractor to shorten those up so that as you come to a cone zone you will be able to get through it quicker and open back up,” he said. “It may cost us a little extra money because of the sequencing but it will reduce the impact on the travelling public.” Between 2006 and 2012 Douglas County spent a grand total of $21.6 million on Highlands Ranch roads. According to Roberts, $18.4 million of a budgeted $18.9 million was spent in 2013. Another $13.4 million is slated for concrete and asphalt work in 2014. That number does not include capital improvement projects. For more information on specific projects, please visit www.douglas.co.us and search Highlands Ranch construction.

Take precautions this holiday season The holiday season is a beautiful time of year that can bring people together. But it can also be a time fraught with hazards. That’s something that can easily be overlooked amid the shopping, cooking, partying and keeping warm by the fire. But we encourage you to consider some of the following tips to make the closing weeks of 2013 memorable for the right reasons.

Snuff out fire danger

Winter residential fires — which peak in December and January — result in 945 deaths and cause nearly $2 billion in property damage nationally in a typical year, according to the U.S. Fire Administration, an entity of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It’s not quite winter yet, but recent cold snaps remind us that it’s on the way. The administration has some advice to keep fire threats at bay, which we share below. A more detailed list of things you can do can be found at www.usfa.fema.gov/citizens/home_fire_prev/holiday-seasonal/

our view

winter.shtm • Cooking is the leading cause of these types of fires. Unattended cooking is the No. 1 culprit, so stay in the kitchen when frying, grilling or broiling. Wear short, close-fitting clothing, for obvious reasons. Maybe most important, stay alert at all times. • Heating sources — including furnaces, fireplaces and space heaters — are another major cause of fires in the home. It is important to keep flammable materials at a safe distance, generally considered to be 3 feet or more, from a heating source. If you’re using a space heater, it is highly recommended that you plug it directly into the outlet and not use an extension cord. Also, make sure your home has a working smoke alarm and that you have an escape plan for your-

self and your family, should a fire occur. • An estimated 240 house fires involving Christmas trees and another 150 involving holiday lights and other decorations occur in a typical year in the United States. So, among other things, keep your tree watered and do not overload electrical outlets with lights.

stolen. • The online realm has its own set of dangers. Be very cautious of whom you give your personal information. Getting a new computer or phone? Wipe out all of your private information before discarding the old one. And, of course, keep your passwords private.

Protect your identity

Drinking? Don’t drive

For many, shopping is a holiday hobby, one that carries a risk 0f identity theft, whether online or at the mall. The Federal Trade Commission has some advice to help keep important, private information secure. More information can be found at www.consumer.ftc.gov/features/feature-0014-identity-theft • Travel light. Do not carry around more credit, debit or identification cards than you really need. • Shred receipts once you no longer need them. When at the store or mall, you might want to keep those receipts in your pocket instead of in the bag, which can be lost or

Holiday parties often involve alcohol. Some people drink too much, then decide to drive, and the results can be horrific. In fact, Mothers Against Drunk Driving reports that 43 percent of driving fatalities on Christmas Day are alcohol-related. DUI enforcement generally goes up this time of year as well, so there’s an increased risk to drunken drivers’ wallets, as a conviction can be costly, both in court fees and higher insurance costs. If you’re going to drink, taking a cab or using a sober designated driver are common-sense solutions to avoid hurting yourself and others.

Finding balance in Are you a Miley fan? use of social media question of the week

With the announcement that Miley Cyrus will make a stop at Denver’s Pepsi Center on March 4 during her upcoming tour, Colorado Community Media went to the Streets at SouthGlenn to ask: Are you a fan of the entertainer famous for Hannah Montana and, more recently, twerking?

“It’s not my type of music. Really, I’d rather she didn’t come to Denver.” — Mike Hecker, Centennial

“My kids like her songs but I’m not a fan. I guess I just don’t get her.” — Jose Pinedo, Littleton

“Miley Cyrus is OK but I wouldn’t pay to see her. She’s a little too over the top for me.” — Kate Graham, Englewood

“She’s become very trashy. My daughter used to watch Hannah Montana. But since she left Disney, she’s gone downhill fast.” — Suzanne Kisner, Centennial

Time for a change? Actually, no, it’s not Apparently we were supposed to change our clocks sometime in November. Is that correct? Well, I haven’t changed any of mine, and I don’t plan to. Five of them changed all by themselves: the one on my television, the one on my computer, the ones on both telephones, and the one on the thermostat. That’s enough for me. It’s a pain in the neck, and everything in the house came with a clock. Think about it: the coffeemaker, oven, microwave, two clock radios, two wall clocks, the stereo, the DVD player, and Smitty’s dog dish. The car has one too. I have turned off some of them so I don’t have to see my life passing away on every appliance I own. I think Fall Back and Spring Forward is a dumb concept that has no real benefit. Try to guess who and why daylight-saving time was first proposed. Here’s a multiplechoice quiz. Take your time: 1. It was first proposed by a group of Missouri farmers, who wanted an extra hour of daylight to manage their crops. 2. It was first proposed by Benjamin Franklin, who also proposed the United States adopt the turkey as the national bird. 3. It was first proposed by a New Zealand entomologist whose shift-work job gave him after-hours time to collect insects in daylight. 4. It was first proposed by former Cincinnati Reds manager Sparky Anderson, because he despised day-night double-

So I had an interesting experience this past week regarding the use my Facebook account, or maybe I should say misuse of my account. What I had done was accept friend requests or connect with people that I work with on a professional level. I had connected with all of my family members, friends, co-workers, business associates, and customers and really thought it was a great way to stay in touch, keep up with their activities and interests and allow them to keep up with what I was doing. The problem was that I had some new things happening in my life, good and exciting things that I was sharing via my Facebook account. As much as I was excited about the cool things going on, apparently there were one or two co-workers who I was connected with on Facebook who felt compelled to stalk my activities and adventures as I posted them on Facebook and further decided to share them with others in the company. Now there was nothing weird or unnatural about my Facebook posts, these folks just thought that they should share my life’s journey with everyone else at the office. This actually caused a little drama and unfortunately resulted in the need for me to “unfriend” all of the people I work with. And at first I was a little disappointed, hurt, and angry. But then as I

ChrIS rOTar Editor headers. You can give the credit or the blame to George Vernon Hudson. He wanted to have an extra hour of daylight to collect insects. I have often wondered why he didn’t just leave things alone, and collect fireflies after work. At some point — in the third grade? — I think we all realize that a day isn’t perfectly symmetrical all year long. There’s more daylight in the summer than there is in the winter. Sooner or later we hear about something called a leap year (or a bissextile year) when an extra day is added to February. I have a friend who was born on a Feb. 29, and when she turned 64, she claimed she was only 16, because she had only had four true birthdays. So early on in life we figured out that time is adjusted, and it has been ever since ancient civilizations got it rolling. It’s fine with me if February gets an extra day every fourth year, but I am good

thought more about it, perhaps Facebook is a much better application to be used with family and friends and connect or interact with my business associates and co-workers in a different way. I already do that via LinkedIn, and since I only use LinkedIn for business reasons, it made so much more sense. The past week has been a test for me, I do miss keeping up with some of my co-workers through Facebook, but I think my anger, hurt, and disappointment have been replaced by a true sense of balance. Facebook for friends and family members and LinkedIn for co-workers and business associates. So far it is working beautifully. Now I understand that many people use Facebook to connect with everyone in one location and they never have issues like I experienced. And I know many people that

Attitude of gratitude makes for better life By now, you’re probably thinking about turkey (or tofurkey), pumpkin pie, and family gatherings. It’s that time when families are cooking together, laughing together, and yes, maybe even arguing at dinner together. Some might be excited about the Thanksgiving traditions, and others dreading the dinner conversations about politics or life choices of our siblings. I’m one person who still believes November is a great time to remember our blessings in life. I’m reminded of how my parents inspired me to live my life with integrity, accountability, and compassion — and … an “attitude of gratitude.” No matter how difficult times got (and they did), we as a family, would continue to persevere and be grateful for what was working well in our lives. We were taught that we had a choice of how we lived daily — in regret and complaint or with gratitude and optimism. In so doing

we realized that by being grateful and positive, we were actually happier. Now before you start to think I might be too “Pollyanna-ish,” hear how this has continually served me, my family, and my constituents. If you look at the statistics and research, you’ll see that optimists can outlive pessimists on an average of up to 20 years longer! And that people who have “attitudes of gratitude,” overall, do better on tests, perform better at work, and create higher incomes. They also do better in

relationships both personally and professionally. So with all those findings, why wouldn’t I take on a regular practice of counting my blessings and looking for the good around me? Yes, I may get sad “reality checks” occasionally in what I do as a state senator. Yet even in those times, I look for that one spark of humanity, honor or integrity when I can confirm that we are a people looking for the common good for all. Look at the recent examples of those surviving the floods. We’ve seen story after story of people embracing the positives rather than focusing on the horrors they’ve just experienced. Why? Because optimism and hope work to get us up in the morning, keep us going, and to seek positive solutions. As a single mom, there were many times I could have easily given up when I couldn’t find a job or pay the mortgage. Instead, my girls and I have spent many a dinner listing

the things for which we were grateful. I truly believe that practice is one of the reasons we survived and conquered the negativity and scarcity around us. As a legislator, I see the difference a positive attitude makes in negotiating legislation — better collaboration, more thoughtful solutions due to open minds, and win-win relationships kept intact. So what if we all spent November with an “attitude of gratitude?” Could it make a positive difference in your home, workplace, or community? Would there be any harm in trying it out? I’d be shocked if you didn’t feel happier by the end of the month! Grateful to serve you… Linda Newell is the state senator of Senate District 26; Littleton, Englewood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, West Centennial, and parts of Aurora.

Critics wrong about changes in food stamp law In 1996, the Congress passed and President Bill Clinton signed welfare reform legislation, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), allowing states the flexibility to craft their own plans to move families living in subsistence poverty towards self-sufficiency. In 1997, as a state senator from Aurora, I led the bipartisan effort in Colorado by writing the welfare reforms that would require those receiving cash assistance, under TANF, to participate in work, training or education in exchange for receiving public assistance. The legislation was signed into law by former Democratic Gov. Roy Romer. The new program became known as Colorado Works and it still exists today. However, the 1996 federal law did not provide the same reforms to the other programs such as food stamps, public housing assistance or Medicaid. Recently, the House passed H.R. 3102, the Nutrition Reform and Work Opportunity Act of 2013, which extends the same 1996 TANF reforms to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). These reforms will require able-bodied individuals, without dependents, receiving food stamps to find work, attend an educational or training program for 20 hours a week, or participate in volunteer activities. It also reforms the application process so that one must specifically request food

with not being expected to squirrel around with clocks otherwise. The good thing is that it’s not criminal if you don’t. I am sure you have all seen a row of clocks at airports that let you know what time it is where you are, and what time it is in Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Amsterdam. I used to have a row of big clocks like that in my art office. One of them displayed local time but there was no sign that said so. The others were higgledy-piggledy, and they

stamps instead of automatically receiving them when they become eligible for other assistance programs. Although critics of the legislation claim the purpose is to take food out of the mouths of children, this couldn’t be further from the truth. The truth is that under this legislation, anyone who falls under the work requirements and who is an adult under 50 years of age and able-bodied will not be denied benefits so long as they are willing to sign up for the opportunity to get a job, participate in training, education, or even volunteer work. Conservatives like me believe in a strong safety net and the House reform bill maintains that for those in need. However, the idea that an individual who is able to work or volunteer should be doing something in exchange for receiving public assistance has been and remains a

strongly supported principle in our country. Since the reforms in the 1990s, this link between work and public assistance has helped reduce the size of the welfare rolls by providing a path for those in need to move towards becoming self sufficient. Some states, like Colorado, have already moved forward with reforms of their own, throughout its 30-year history, the Colorado SNAP Employment First program has seen 90 percent of its participants successfully complete the work requirements to receive benefits. I commend the important work this program does for Coloradans and the House-passed reform will build on that and require all states to have these muchneeded reforms in place. It is important to note that the justpassed House reforms, the federal 1996 welfare reform law, and the Colorado Works program are all designed to give people help when they need it without encouraging anyone to be permanently dependent

on the government. Moreover, the projected savings from the House reform bill will come from recipients moving towards self-sufficiency and not from arbitrary cuts to the program. Most people would rather work than rely on government assistance. Most people want to go out and be productive so that they can earn a living, so that they can support their family, and so that they can have hope for a better future. The Nutrition Reform and Work Opportunity Act of 2013 is designed to give help in what is often referred to as a “hand up” instead of a “hand out” to those in need.

OBITUARIES

weren’t set apart in 60-minute intervals. My office door was always open. One day a kid stood in my doorway with exasperation all over his face. “Damn it,” he said. “What time is it?” On Sunday, March 9, 2014, all of the clocks in my house will agree. That’s when the rest of you will have to change your clocks all over again. Up on stools and ladders. Or maybe you have high-tech clocks that will change automatically. But if that malodorous bug-eater had just kept quiet we all could have saved a lot of time. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net

and LinkedIn. Finding the balance between the two and distancing my personal life from my professional life has actually been a blessing and relief. I would love to hear all about your experiences using Facebook or LinkedIn at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we find the right balance in all areas of life, including social media, it really will be a better than good week.

Ranch to get Goodwill, drive-thru pizza Ralph Schomp also moving By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com

Thinking of having a HOLIDAY PARTY or EVENT? We take care of ALL the details so YOU can enjoy your own party

A different sort of pizzeria, a Chickfil-A, a storage facility and a new Wendy’s have already broken ground in Highlands Ranch and more businesses are on their way in. A 28,000-square-foot Goodwill store, to be located off East Business Center Drive and Poplar Way, and a pair of Ralph Schomp car dealerships

added to the existing campus south of County Line Road, were discussed at the Nov. 6 HRCA Developmental Review Committee meeting. The pizza joint, Dion’s Restaurant, which boasts a unique drive-thru window concept, will be in Town Center. Town Center Self Storage is moving dirt in Town Center, and Wendy’s, says HRCA committee chairman Woody Bryant, is a couple months from opening in Town Center North. Also nearby, a Christian Brothers Automotive repair shop has already been approved. Ralph Schomp BMW on Plum Val-

ley Drive will soon be joined by Ralph Schomp Honda and Ralph Schomp Mini, which will make the move southwest from their Littleton location. “They are going to keep their facilities up north on Broadway for used-car sales, but they are moving all of their new-car sales and their corporate headquarters to Highlands Ranch,” Bryant said. “They still have to go through the county to get their permits, but they own all the lots and I would venture to guess they will break ground in early 2014 and be open for business within a year from then.”

up to no good, and eventually they end up in places like this where nobody can see them.” Painting over graffiti is the easiest fix, but porous surfaces like signs and sidewalks require the use of chemicals and power-washing equipment. “Every time you bring down a large piece of equipment, the price goes up,” said Scheuerman. An $8,000 camera on top of a very high pole overlooking the skate park at Cornerstone Park has basically eliminated the problem there, said Scheuerman, and locking park restrooms at night has cut down cleanup time at some of the other parks. “They’re good about getting it cleaned up,” said Hanna. “They’re trying to keep up a good image for the city. And the citizens are good about reporting it.” DeBartolomeis asks parents to remind teenagers that graffiti is illegal, and those who are caught get a ticket, a court date, possible community service and a bill for the cleanup costs. “No area in the district, regardless

South Suburban senior park ranger Dan Scheuerman surveys graffiti along the Big Dry Creek Trail. This particular piece is chalk art, so it will wash away easily. Spray paint and permanent markers are more expensive to eliminate. Photo by Jennifer Smith of cultural or economic status, is immune to this activity,” she writes. To report a graffiti sighting in a park or on a trail, call Scheuerman at 303435-8225 or 303-435-8227. If it’s on city or private property, call the Littleton Police Department at 303-794-1551. City code requires it to be removed or

painted over within 24 hours. “If you see graffiti or vandalism in progress, call 911 immediately with the location and description of the participant,” advises the city’s website. “Prompt removal of graffiti helps to discourage further incidents of graffiti in a neighborhood.”

Jam favorites set for two-night run By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com No strangers to the Colorado music scene, Michigan-born jam-grass band Greensky Bluegrass — which opened at Red Rocks for Galactic and Railroad Earth this summer — will grace The Gothic Theatre stage for the first time this coming weekend. The hard-touring quintet will be headlining the Englewood theatre Nov. 15 and 16, with fellow bluegrass band Fruition supporting both nights.

Calling bluecom or www.Gothicgrass “a jumpingTheatre.com. off point for the band,” no two shows are ever the same for the hard-rocking group, which boasts close to 200 songs in its live repertoire. When the band leaves its own catalog behind, which they do four or five times per show, no one ever knows what they are going to hear. Odds are it won’t be your traditional bluegrass cover though. At their recent sold-out, two-night run in Boulder, Greensky covered everything from Bruce Springsteen to String Cheese Incident, Radiohead, Paul Simon, Bob Marley and the Grateful Dead. “We’re all music heads, and love writ-

Ask local vocal Chris Daniels how he’s doing three years after his bone marrow transplant, and he channels legendary soul singer James Brown: “I feel good,” Daniels told me last week during an interview before his Nov. 8 induction into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. “Do you ever say cured? No, but I say that’s OK,” Daniels adds. Daniels was diagnosed with a fierce form of leukemia in 2010. After receiving a “perfect match” bone marrow transplant from his sister, Jane Moffett, he set his sights on getting back on stage to perform with The Kings, his band of nearly 30 years. Daniels, along with other Colorado musicians — legendary folk singer Judy Collins, the Serendipity Singers and Bob Lind — was inducted during a concert at the Paramount Theatre. “Judy was a hero to me and a lot of other musicians because she was not as operatic a singer as Joan (Baez),” Daniels said about his famous fellow inductee. “She had soul and grit in her beautiful voice and she was a great guitar and piano player. My mother’s favorite song was Judy’s version of `Both Sides Now’ by Joni Mitchell. It’s an amazing honor to go into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame with her.” In between writing music and performing, Daniels teaches music business at the University of Colorado-Denver as an assistant professor for the College of Arts and Media. “I really wanted to get back into teaching,” Daniels said about his post-transplant days. “It really refocused me. I was grading papers and working with substitute teachers when I was in the hospital. One time I was doing lectures by Skype. (The students) are 19- or 20-year-old wise apples ... I really have great hope and enthusiasm for this generation coming out.”

For the kidneys

Paul Hoffman, left, and Mike Devol perform Oct. 24 during the band’s recent gig at The Fox Theatre in Boulder. The Michigan-based quintet which sold out the Fox, is playing Englewood’s Gothic Theatre Nov. 15 and 16. ing, but we also love other people’s music as well,” Beck said. “I think if there weren’t such strong songwriters in the band, playing covers would feel a little cheaper on some level. But I think it allows us to play unique covers in the set and not let it be the highlight per se. At some level we are just looking for the common denominator with the fans.” And while the Greensky cover selection can kick the energy level of a crowd into high gear, it is the originals, mostly penned by mandolin player and lead vocalist Paul Hoffman or guitar player Dave Bruzza, that send the crowd into a frenzy. The band’s recent album, “Handguns,” helped to launch the band’s popularity to the next level, and the decision to give half of it away for free on the Greensky website, SoundCloud and through social media didn’t hurt anything either.

“We just really wanted to get it out there,” Beck said. “We aren’t a household name in most households, but we figured that if you can turn your friends onto liking Greensky Bluegrass by saying, `Hey, check it out, it’s free,’ you’ll want to hear more.” Greensky will release its fifth studio album, “If Sorrows Swim,” in February, highlighted by new cuts, “Windshield,” “In Control,” “Worried about the Weather,” and “Leap Year,” all cuts they are already playing on the road. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit www.greenskybluegrass.com or www.gothictheatre.com. Single-day tickets are $20 in advance, $25 day of show and two-day passes are $30 in advance. Showtime is 9 p.m. Nov. 15 and 16 at The Gothic Theatre, 3263 S. Broadway in Englewood.

Four artists show work at Town Hall Exhibit title borrows from musical ‘Annie’ By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Four experienced artists who have exhibited together, with larger groups, will show their paintings at Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery through Jan. 8. They are Valli Thayer McDougal, Pat Mudge, Janice Hanson and Jan Archuleta. Their choice of which works to exhibit is influenced to an extent by what’s playing at Town Hall: the musical “Annie,” about the spunky little red-haired girl who graced the comics for many years. Their show title is also a song in the show: “I Think I’m Going to Like it Here.” Two of them: Valli Thayer McDougal and Pat Mudge actually met in a watercolor class in La Jolla, Calif., in 2000 and have re-

mained friends and painting companions since they both moved to Denver in 2007 and 2008. They soon formed a critique group with Susan Schmitt, meeting monthly. Jan Archuleta and Janice Hanson became their friends via membership in the Colorado Watercolor Society and joined the critique group. “We have become very good friends and colleagues, supporting each other in our artistic journeys,” McDougal wrote. She said she “discovered a passion for painting rather late in life, however `younger than Grandma Moses.’” Her contemporary acrylic painting series: “Windows on the World,” focuses on large shapes, warm colors and sometimes, “Pastiche,” small layered collages and “Opus,” watercolor and mixed media. She is an award-winning painter who belongs to the National Watercolor Society, Colorado Watercolor Society and Inter-

national Society of Acrylic Painters. Patricia Mudge worked in water media for many years, but has switched to oil paints. She has studied at the University of San Diego, San Diego Watercolor Society, La Jolla Institute of Art and Art Students League of Denver. She lived in Great Britain and has traveled widely for 40 years, learning from fine artists as she traveled. Janice Hanson is a former photographer, who turned to watercolor “to enhance the images she saw by emphasizing shapes and patterns. She uses paint to stain these shapes with color.” She is a Signature member of the National Watercolor Society and the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Society. Watercolorist Jan Archuleta, a Colorado native, paints from photos taken in Colorado, New Mexico and other travel locations, including Spain, Italy and China. She is a past president of the Arvada Fine Arts

Guild, a Colorado Watercolor Society member, as well as Western Federation of Watercolor Societies, Foothills Art Center, National Watercolor Society and North Metro Arts Alliance.

IF YOU GO “I Think I’m Going to Like it Here” will be exhibited in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., downtown Littleton, through Jan. 8, 2014. There will be a meet-the-artist reception from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 16 (the public is invited). Gallery hours: 10 am. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances. Works are for sale. 303-794-2787.

All MS relapse therapy decisions should be made under the guidance of your healthcare professional.

Russian Christmas is celebrated on Jan. 7, preceded by a special dinner and church service on Christmas Eve. Festive music is important and the band’s program begins with Rimsky Korsakov’s “Procession of the Nobles,” followed by “Alleluia” by Samuel Hazo and “Midnight Sleighride,” originally by Prokofiev. Peter Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite” is beloved worldwide and it will be followed by “Christmas Sing-A-Long” by James Ployhar. Following intermission, Prokofiev’s “March, Op. 99” and the Carpenters’ “Merry Christmas Darling” will be followed by Larry MacTaggart’s arrangement of “Laughing All the Way.” Alfred Reed’s “Russian Christmas Music” and Leroy Anderson’s ever-popular “Sleigh Ride” wrap up this festive program.

Colorado Springs, CO

The 53-year-old, 85-member Denver Concert Band, led by Jacinda Bouton, has a family treat planned for its “Russian Holiday” concert at 2 p.m. Nov. 24 at Lone Tree Arts Center. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there to hand out candy canes to children. The joyous music will also be a treat, featuring Russian and American works. Although Russians were forbidden to celebrate religious holidays for 75 years after the Communist Revolution, they retained a holiday spirit, one learns with a bit of online research. They focused on New Year’s trees and celebrations. However, before and again in the present, St. Nicholas is popular and the Santa who appears on Nov. 24 is cast in his image — the 11th-century Bishop of Myrna in red robes. St. Nicholas performed miracles and the gift-giving was handled by Old Babouschka, who brought presents to kids as she looked for the Christ Child.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 11, 2013

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Keep your feelings to yourself as you work through an awkward circumstance. Complaining is useless, and also unwise since your words could come back to haunt you. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A sudden flash of Bovine practicality shows you how you might be able to turn your artistic pursuits into a profitable venture. A spouse or partner offers some sage advice. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Be prepared with several “Plan Bs” that you might have to use as backups just in case you encounter some troublesome complications with your carefully constructed schedule. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You might think you’ll never have a free moment again with the demands of the workplace piling on. Cheer up. The pressure eases as holiday time nears. An old friend brings good news. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your Leonine pride might make it difficult to offer an apology to a co-worker you unintentionally offended. But a quick and sincere “I’m sorry” could prevent problems down the line. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) This is a good time to tackle those backed-up chores that have kept you from moving into other and potentially more worthwhile projects. A personal matter needs your attention. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You usually have no problem rushing to the defense of someone you perceive as being treated unjustly. But perceptions could be deceiving this week. Check the facts before you act. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Before you point fingers at who might be to blame for the unexpected change in your plans, take a few moments to reflect on how this turn of events might be a blessing in disguise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You seek out advice in the first part of the week. But be careful not to let counsel from others overshadow your own sense of perception. Things become clearer by the week’s end. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The trusted colleagues you relied on earlier continue to offer support with your project. But you take more control, and by the week’s end, you should be in full command. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Rely on your practical side while exploring investment possibilities. Caution is still your watchword in these matters. Your social life takes a gratifying turn by the week’s end. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) An already confusing situation appears to grow murkier during the first part of the week. But it all starts to clear by the week’s end. Plan to spend the weekend with someone special. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a passion for life that inspires others to follow your example. You could be a motivational speaker. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

‘Cross Currents’ comes to gallery Show of native work gets underway Nov. 22 By Sonya Ellingboe

Gift market keeps on giving Event at churches helps artisans around world By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com World Gift Markets have grown, according to committee member Shelly DeChantal, a metro-area fiber artist who has recently moved to Littleton. Fair Trade, handmade gifts from artisans living around the world — in Laos, Africa, Bolivia and more will be available, as well as items crafted at local nonprofit workshops, such as A Little Something, the Gathering Place and Earthlinks. More than 40 nonprofit and Fair Trade groups will participate. First Universalist Church (northeast corner) and First Plymouth Congregational Church (southwest corner), both at the intersection of East Hampden Avenue and South Colorado Boulevard, have joined together this year to host the World Gift Markets on Nov. 23 (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and Nov. 24 (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.), with an opening reception at First Universalist only from 5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 22. The market encourages purposeful giving by supporting artisans in developing

countries through Fair Trade businesses such as Silks of Laos, Team Africa and Fair Trade Republica, which bring traditional crafts to the markets. Working with indigenous craftspeople in areas of extreme poverty, they help preserve traditions and provide fair wages and a healthy workplace. All products are made by individual artisans working in small groups or cooperatives. Shoppers can find hand-woven silk scarves from Laos, recycled Sari table runners and pillows, handmade paper journals from India, hand-knitted alpaca hats and gloves from Bolivia, Ugandan coffee and local honey from Earthlinks’ Peace Garden, for example. Earthlinks, a Denver nonprofit started 16 years ago, has grown from a day shelter to a full-fledged craft enterprise that offers productive work to homeless people. It teaches job skills and garden work, which allows for connection with the earth, DeChantal writes. In addition to honey, the Peace Garden’s bees produce beeswax for Natural Spa products. And bees pollinate flowers, gourds and herbs, which result in greeting cards, vases, candles, birdhouses, jewelry, lotions and catnip toys for Fluffy.

“The wide range of expression and media found in the exhibition demonstrates the futility of attempting to confine artists of native descent to one category,” said Cecily Cullen, creative director for the Center for Visual Art. “The artists of `Cross Currents’ represent the spirit of innovation by blending elements found in traditional Native American art with meaning and strategies born of 21st-century art making, adding unique voices to the visual language of today.” CVA, Metropolitan State University’s very interesting, easily accessed gallery at 965 Santa Fe Drive in Denver’s Arts District, offers free admission and a series of engaging exhibits. “Cross Currents: Native American Forces in Contemporary Art” runs Nov. 22 through Feb. 8, featuring art by Cannupahanska, Nicholas Galanin, Frank Buffalo Hyde, Merritt Johnson, Sarah Ortegon, Wendy Red Star, Sarah Sense, Marie Watt and Will Wilson. Some of the artists will be present for an opening reception and artist’s panel on Nov. 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. These artists from across the nation have different indigenous backgrounds and do not adhere to traditional stereotypes. What they do have in common is an exploration of identity as they move between worlds, rejecting mass media’s appropriation of traditional symbols. Our illustration, “Emergency Mantle for Diplomatic Security,” is a mixed media work by Merritt Johnson, who is based in East Harlem, NY. She is “of mixed Mohawk, Blackfoot and non-indigenous descent, with a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University and an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art.” A multidisciplinary artist working in painting, sculpture and performance, she said “through my work, I explore the connections and oppositions between (and

The show addresses complexities of cultural identity.

Arapahoe falls one win shy of title Grandview captures 5A volleyball crown By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Arapahoe concluded its best girls volleyball season in school history but came up a win shy of winning the state championship. Grandview swept the Warriors 25-22, 25-12, 25-17 to win the Class 5A championship Nov. 9 in the finale at the Denver Coliseum. It was the ninth appearance in a state championship match in the past 11 seasons for Grandview and the Wolves’ fourth state title. It was only the Warriors’ second trip ever to the state tournament. “This was the best season we’ve ever had in Arapahoe history,” said Warriors coach Cara Syers. “We had one state berth prior to this and we lost in pool play. So this is our first year ever of getting to the state championship. Our three losses this season were to Grandview. They were a clear No. 1 it’s clear to say.” All four semifinal teams were from the Centennial League as Arapahoe defeated Eaglecrest 25-10, 25-21, 23-25, 25-20 to advance into the finals. Grandview downed Cherry Creek 11-25, 29-27, 25-23, 25-18. “We knew our schedule prepared us well,” added Syers. “We knew what we had to face against Grandview and we did for the most part. It was like the perfect storm. Everything went their way, every net serve and every free ball. It went their way for sure.” Arapahoe, coming off a short rest after its semifinal match, jumped ahead 8-4 in the first set but failed to come up with the key points after the Wolves tied the set at 20-all. “We didn’t get it (first set) and they just rolled,” admitted Syers. The second and third sets were not close as the top-seeded Wolves (27-2) took charge. “I couldn’t be more proud of our girls for their heart and determination they showed all season,” said Syers. “It was a wonderful season just a little short of where we wanted but really you don’t focus on that. You focus on this season as a journey. Second-seeded Arapahoe ended the season with a 25-3 record. Cherry Creek (22-6) appeared to have Grandview on the ropes in the semifinal, winning the first set 25-11 and having a chance to capture the second before but lost 29-27. The Wolves prevailed in the final two sets, 25-23 and 25-18. “There was a call at the end (of the second set) whether we hit the ball or not,” recalled Bruins coach Sally Moos. “They gave them the point

We didn’t put enough balls away. They have two big outside hitters and they put a few more balls away. “But I’m really proud of our kids. That was the third time we played them. We knew each other. We did some good things, we just didn’t have enough to win the match.” Ponderosa (16-11), which finished second in the Class 5A Continental League, lost in the Class 4A semifinals to Air Academy. The Kadets won 26-24, 25-20 and 25-15. “It was tremendous to be here and we were more that excited,” said Ponderosa senior Merry Hammack. “We overcame so many obstacles but we just got better. I feel bad for the loss and the end of our season but this has been a family and we are so grateful for all that supported us.” Ponderosa wound up with a 16-11 record. Two-time defending Class 2A state champions Lutheran made it to the state championship match but the Lions were swept by undefeated and top-seeded Resurrection Christian 25-18, 25-19 and 25-13. “We were very pleased,” said coach Alicia Oates whose second-seeded Lions finished 25-3. “Resurrection was a very solid team. They have a

lot of offensive power so it was hard to slow any one of them down because they would come back with something else. They were really good. But even getting into that game was a huge accomplished for these girls. “A lot of people, even ourselves at times, underestimated what we were capable of but they always kept working hard and kept focused on what they needed to do to be successful. They really surprised a lot of people and had a lot of fun doing it. Being in the state tournament is exciting and being in that Parade of Champions is a memory we will have for a lifetime.” Continental League champion Mountain Vista lost 3-1 to Cherry Creek in the deciding game in Pool 4 while Castle View dropped both its matches in Pool 1 in the Class 5A opening matches. Valor Christian lost both its matches in Class 4A, Pool 3 play. Chaparral coach T.R. Ellis was given the Pioneer Award during a special awards ceremony. Ellis has been the head coach at Chaparral for 16 seasons and won state titles in 2010 and 2011. She also had Colorado coaching stints at Douglas County for seven seasons and for eight years at Olathe.

Creek, Valor advance in football playoffs Huskies trail Fairview in game at Boulder By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Cherry Creek abandoned its usual reliance on running the football, as the Bruins employed a balanced offensive scheme and produced a 49-14 second-round Class 5A playoff victory Nov. 8 over Overland in a second round Class 5A state playoff game. Quarterback Cameron Brucker completed 18 of 26 passes for 302 yards and four touchdowns as the Bruins defeated the Trail Blazers for the second time this season. Mikey McCauley caught six of Brucker’s passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns. Creek still ran the ball as Milo Hall rushed for 145 yards on 17 carries and scored one touchdown. Nathan Starks gained 116 yards on 11 totes and scored a pair of TDS for the Bruins who finished with 583 yards of total offense. Overland was held to 32 yards rushing by the Bruins defense. Cherry Creek (10-1) moves into a quarterfinal game against Centennial League rival Cherokee Trail (9-2). The game is set for 7 p.m. Nov. 15 at the Stutler Bowl. The Cougars, last year’s Class 5A state runners-up, lost a league game to Cherry Creek Oct. 4. Cherokee Trail missed an extra point with 29.3 seconds remaining and dropped a 28-27 decision to the Bruins in a game played at Legacy Stadium. In other second-round Class 5A games played Nov. 8, defending state champion Valor Christian jumped to a 42-3 halftime lead and cruised to a 49-17 triumph over Ralston Valley as the Eagles stretched their state playoff winning streak to 15 games. Valor (10-1) will continue its quest for a fifth consecutive state title in a Nov. 15 quarterback game against Columbine (101). The 7 p.m. game will be played at Valor Stadium. Eagles quarterback A.J. Cecil completed

19 of 23 passes for 278 yards and four touchdowns. Christian McCaffrey rushed for 121 yards and two scores and caught six passes for 110 yards and a pair of TDs. McCaffrey, committed to play for Stanford, has scored 32 touchdowns this season After opening the season 1-1 against two formidable out-of-state opponents, Valor has scored 461 points in the past nine games for an average of 51.2 points a game. ThunderRidge (10-1), which lost to Valor in last season’s semifinals, romped to a 5635 win over Doherty at Shea Stadium. The Grizzlies will play Grandview (7-4) in a Nov. 16 quarterfinal game at Legacy Stadium starting at 1 p.m. ThunderRidge defeated the Wolves, 21-7, in a Sept. 13 nonleague game. Quarterback Brody Westmoreland accounted for seven of the Grizzlies eight touchdowns against Doherty. The 6-foot senior who going to San Diego State to play baseball rushed for 152 yards and four touchdowns and threw three scoring passes. Undefeated and top-seeded Fairview outscored Douglas County 21-0 in the second half enroute to a 45-17 win over the Huskies in a game played a Boulder’s Recht Field. Douglas County trailed only 21-17 near the end of the first half and had a first down at the Knights’ 1-yard line. However, the Huskies wound up missing a 31-yard field goal. On its first possession of the second half, Douglas County drove to the Fairview 6-yard line but failed to convert on fourth down. Standout Douglas County back Trey Smith was held to 87 yards rushing but he did haul in four passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. Lutheran gave No. 2-seed Palisade all it could handle before dropping a 35-25 decision in a Class 3A first round road playoff game Nov. 9. The Lions (8-3) trailed only 28-25 but Palisade scored with two minutes remaining to seal the victory.

Weaver enjoys run of success Mountain Vista senior meets most of his goals By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Connor Weaver is always being questioned. People want to know why he keeps on running. “That’s the question everybody asks,” explained Weaver. “Why run? You almost have to be a different human being to get joy out of it. I like how in running you can always progress and get better. “I like being in shape, I like competing and I like being outdoors. I played almost every single sport coming into high school. I definitely wasn’t planning on being a cross country, track runner. I was going to play lacrosse, football, basketball but I ended up falling in love with running because it was so challenging. I was natu-

rally pretty good at it and I do enjoy it.” Weaver, a senior at Mountain Vista, turned out to be a darn good runner and has been tabbed Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year. “I met most of my goals,” said Weaver. “I had a goal that I wanted to win state but then Cerake (Geberidane) obviously had a real good year. He is probably one of the best runners in the nation so it’s not too bad to be behind him. It’s not too big of a disappointment anyway.” Denver East’s Geberidane won the state cross country meet in record time of 15:48.2. Weaver finished third in 16:34.5 but led the Golden Eagles to their second straight boys team championship. Weaver was the Continental League champion and ran second to Pine Creek’s Zachary Alhamra in the regional meet. Alhamra was second behind Geberidane at the state meet.

Senior Emily Wolff was captain of the Arapahoe girls cross country team and admits it was a learning experience. “Being the captain for the team helped me learn a lot about leadership and running for the team and not just for yourself,” said Wolff. “When you are going through the most painful part of the race you have to think about how each stride you take and each person you pass is not just for yourself but for the team.” Wolff finished ninth in the state meet and made enough strides to be named Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year.

“I was excited to learn that I got the award,” proclaimed Wolff, who ran 10th in the 2012 state cross country championships. “I didn’t meet my PR from last season (18:05) but I met most of the goals I had for the season. I was excited that I finished better than I did last year. “You always want to finish as high as you can and close to the top but I was still excited I improved.” Wolff was crowned the regional champion with a time of 18:46 and ran a 19:32.7 at the state meet to better last fall’s state meet finish. “I love cross country,” said Wolff. “It’s kind of up to you what you are going to put into cross country and what you are going to get out. It’s all about the strength you have and not just the physical strength but the mental aspect. You just learn from it like life lessons, it’s much bigger than yourself, much bigger than the sport.”
