Lego love is storming the country in light of the popularity of the recently released “Lego Movie,” but for some, it never left. “It’s all about imagination and dreaming about what you can do,” said Reed Yeager, who spends countless hours helping the Denver Lego Users Group, or DENLUG, build interactive Lego cities that they display publicly whenever they get the chance. On Aug. 2, the group joined with the Colorado and Wyoming Lego Users Group to showcase their work at Bemis Library. It was so popular that library staff had to politely but firmly let visitors, reluctant to leave, know it was closing time. “It’s really cool,” said Ashley Baclawski, 9, as she checked out every detail. “It’s cool how all the different themes are all together.” To be sure, Star Wars heroes were hanging out with Unikitties (half cat, half unicorn). A running train encircled a helicopter that had crashed into a Chik-fil-a, just feet away from a spinning Ferris wheel. Cowboys, robots and the Incredible Hulk had invaded the airport, and knights of old and British sentries alike defended a glowing purple castle. The event was just for the day, but there are other Lego displays in the library that will remain through August. Abby Davis of the Colorado/Wyoming group said collectively hundreds of hours went into building the city, and it would take about three hours to disassemble that evening. “I didn’t get into Legos until my husband introduced them to me about six years ago,” she said. “But he was so into it, and he was building some really neat things, that I found it really fascinating. I like all the possibilities.” The week before, Lucas Brooks spent a week priming some potential future members for the groups. An instructor at Play-Well, he spent three hours each morning teaching a group of 5- to 7-year-olds — all boys, by coincidence — to find the lessons in Legos. “Play-Well is teaching engineering, with the medium being Legos,” he said as he herded the kids, who didn’t want to stop building long enough to get the room at Englewood Civic Center straightened up. “I liked Legos as a kid. I taught in the classroom for the past several years, and I was just ready for a change. I enjoy engaging with the kids, and this is the most effective tool I’ve worked with in education.” Play-Well is actually named after the toy. “Lego is an abbreviation of the two Danish words `leg godt,’ meaning `play well,’” reads the Lego web-
Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens says crime throughout the city has declined since he took over last year, including in the troubled northeast neighborhood. “We spent a lot of time focusing on that,” Stephens said during the July 29 city council meeting. A gang murder in October 2012 near Fox Street and Berry Avenue heightened awareness of ongoing problems in the ProgStephens ress Park neighborhood, and council had asked for an update. “We’re leaving an increased presence up there,” said Stephens. “We did it on our own, and also I think the community is feeling more comfortable calling.” Stephens came to the meeting with statistics compiled by the new crime analyst, Danielle Trujillo. They show that in the first two quarters of this year, there were 3,798 calls for service in the northeast neighborhood. In the same time frame last year, there were 4,075. There were 4,525 in Crime continues on Page 11

Trash talk dumped, for now City still mulling idea of single-provider contract By Jennifer Smith

site. “It’s our name and it’s our ideal.” Parents looking on said their kids loved the class. “I had so much fun with them as a kid, and he’s got Lego sets, so it seemed like a natural fit,” said Chris Johnson, father of 5-year-old Till. “I hope he’ll take some more building skills away with him.” Back at Bemis, Ashley’s mom Kara said the “Lego Movie” has some other valuable lessons for kids, as well. “It’s about following instructions and then breaking past that and creating something unique,” she said. It’s a lesson voiced by Morgan Freeman as Vitruvius: “Because the only thing anyone needs to be special is to believe that you can be. I know that sounds like a cat poster but it’s true. Look at what you did when you believed you were special. You just need to believe it some more.”
Councilmember Debbie Brinkman has scrapped the idea of getting the City of Littleton into the trash business for now — but she still wants to look at possibly contracting with just one or two companies to handle residential service throughout the city. “I’ve been hearing from a lot of folks … who are very receptive to the idea of doing something to eliminate some of the vehicles,” she said during the July 29 council meeting. Brinkman had first broached the topic in February, saying a more coordinated pickup system would save a lot of wear and tear on the roads and potentially be a revenue source for the city. “I’m not doing this because it’s a cash cow,” she said at the time. “The intent Trash continues on Page 11

`Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can’ Stuff. Most of us have lots of it. Cristin Bleess and her husband, Adrian Horner, did. But by the time March 13 rolls around, the day they leave for Albania with the Peace Corps, their possessions will amount to this: • An antique pie cupboard refinished by Adrian’s mother and given to them as a wedding gift • A coffee table made from the window of Cristin’s grandparents’ Minnesota farmhouse • A cedar hope chest that belonged to Cristin’s aunt filled with items such as a childhood photo album and a few framed photographs • Two filing drawers of tax returns, Social Security information and other documents • Camping and backpacking gear • A couple of bicycles • Two suitcases each of clothing “It’s amazing how much stuff you have that really isn’t sentimental or even used or even appreciated,” Adrian said as he considered what they have let go. “The thrill of discovery is almost better than the thrill of having.” The journey to de-stuff began late last fall when Cristin, 41, a Spanish teacher, and Adrian, 38, a software tester, decided to change the course of their lives. “We just wanted a new adventure,” Cristin said. They contacted a Realtor with the intention of putting their three-bedroom home on the market in January, met with a financial adviser and, after exploring options, decided to apply to the Peace Corps, which requires a 27-month commitment. Meanwhile, they began deconstructing their belongings, much of it unique, original folk art collected from countries they’d visited in Latin America or antiques with personal connections or collections of one-time passions that reflected eras of their lives. “Our stuff wasn’t stuff you can buy at Pier 1 or Target,” Cristin said. “It’s stuff we had both collected through travels or through family or through interests. We
thought about it a lot.” They checked into storage costs — $200 a month. Too expensive. They considered disposing of some, keeping some. But the storage cost issue remained, and family didn’t have enough space to offer. Then Cristin saw this Facebook post: “Collect memories, not things.” And that was it. She said to Adrian: “Let’s just get rid of it all.” They began in the basement, with holiday decorations and unopened boxes that had followed Adrian and Cristin from place to place. High school yearbooks. Adrian’s ACT scores. The 1,500 to 2,000 comic books of “Fantastic Four,” “Avengers,” “X-Men” and others that Adrian had collected in elementary and middle school. The military memorabilia collection that started with Adrian’s grandfather’s WWII medals and included a Civil War bayonet and a WWI helmet. Cristin’s beloved sticker collection, which she began in fifth grade and continued for several years, building it into what she called the best collection, even organized by categories such as teddy bears, unicorns and hearts. It all easily sold through postings on social media garage-sale sites or consignment to niche stores. “I took my grandfather’s insignia out and sold all of it,” Adrian, a college history major, said of the military collection. “It went from a big box to a couple of medals.” Cristin became Facebook friends with the woman who bought her sticker collection, one of the possessions to which she was most attached.
“It’s probably the first thing I ever was passionate about and that I did on my own,” she said. “I spent my own money on it and took care of it and was invested in it. Like I said, it was the best collection.” Next came the kitchen. Dishes. Pans. The box of cake-making utensils given to Cristin by her mom, a baker of wedding cakes. Books — avid readers, they donated boxes of books to the local library. Clothing. For staging purposes, closets should look empty to help sell the house, Adrian said. So “we got ruthless with our clothing.” “You have so many clothes you never wear,” Cristin added. “As a dual-income, no-kids couple, you just accumulate stuff and you don’t always think before you buy it…” They took three to four lawn-size trash bags of clothing to five different consignment stores from Castle Rock to Boulder, the rest to Goodwill. On Jan. 1, they listed their home and moved in with Adrian’s mother. They also moved some furniture to her basement and all the folk art. Adrian’s mother took the two-and-ahalf-foot tall, colorful, ceramic church, a thrill-of-discovery find by renowned Mexican potter Candelario Medrano chanced upon on the floor of a Santa Fe gallery, and a metal red heart that “spoke” to Cristin in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. Except for four other pieces, they delivered all to a consignment store near Tucson. The ones they held back include a smaller Medrano church, and a fruit bowl and clay figurines of a couple on a park bench made by the Mexican artist Josefina Aguilar, whom Cristin met on the same trip during which she met Adrian. “I wanted to take them with the other stuff to Arizona,” Cristin said, “but Adrian wanted to think about it more.” “I probably fought harder on keeping things in the folk art collection,” Adrian said. “I have a lot of fond memories of the things we’d done together, and the stuff in the house reminded me of that.
I recognized the fact I couldn’t just go to Walmart and buy them again.” Travel has played a meaningful role in their lives and relationship. A high school trip to Mexico ignited Cristin’s passion for Spanish, which became her career. An acclaimed teacher, she taught the language for 18 years until the school year ended in May. She was traveling throughout Mexico in July 2003 when she met Adrian at a hostel in Oaxaca. He was three months into an 18-month bike trip he started in California and ended in Argentina. Until his return to the Denver area, they communicated through emails. Then, they visited between Denver and Minneapolis, where Cristin was teaching at the time, until she moved here in 2005. They married two years later and have journeyed together through 13 states and four countries. The anticipation is building for Albania, which is unlike any place they’ve been. “It’s that thrill, the excitement,” Adrian said. “I think that’s why we both love to travel — we don’t know what we’re going to get.” When the house sold in March, they moved most of the furniture to the basement of Adrian’s mother’s home and put it on Craigslist. Eventually, it all went. The red couch with the two chairs, one green, one a patchwork of colors, and a geometric-design rug. The queen bed, full bed and twin bed. The dining room table and chairs. Bookshelves. The antique wardrobe and dresser. Lamps. Patio furniture. The antique washstand. Cristin delivered the dresser her uncle made in his high school shop class to her second cousin in Loveland. Adrian also sold the ‘93 black Geotracker he had started driving his junior year in high school. The final piece of furniture, a TV cabinet, sold three weeks ago. “I felt like a weight was being lifted every time something went out the door,” Cristin said. “I felt lighter. … It was not even about the money.

Fracking ballot initiatives dropped Gov. Hickenlooper and Polis reach deal — task force created
ments and would have imposed a significant threat to Colorado’s economy,” Hickenlooper said. As for the Longmont litigation, Hickenlooper said he would call on the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission to drop its lawsuit against the city. The city had created its own set of rules surrounding fracking, including a requirement that wells be placed at least 750 feet from an occupied dwelling. The lawsuit marked the first time the state had sued a city over its own oil and gas rules.

Fracking politics play out
Fight over for now Although the agreement had been announced by the governor and Polis, it was still unclear at the time of the press event whether pro-fracking groups would agree to drop their
own measures. That question was answered late that same evening by Rep. Frank McNulty, RHighlands Ranch, who was behind an initiative that would have prohibited communities that ban fracking from collecting revenues that are a part of oil and gas revenue allocation. McNulty said through a press statement that he would suspend his efforts, calling the decision by Polis to drop his initiatives “an exciting turn of events.” Another pro-fracking initiative, which would have dealt with financial disclosure issues of future ballot measures that deal with energy development, was also dropped. Hickenlooper had cautioned for months that the ballot initiatives could have “draconian” results on an industry that generates jobs and contributes billions of dollars to the Colorado economy. For months, the governor held out hope of calling a special session to address local control issues surrounding fracking, only to call off those efforts last month after a compromise had failed to materialize. It now appears that the governor doesn’t have to worry about an expensive fight over fracking in November. “The (task force) will provide an alternative to ballot initiatives that, if successful, would have regulated the oil and gas industry through the rigidity of constitutional amend-

off of his efforts to continue to pursue the initiatives, measures that he had been helping to finance. Polis said during a hastily-called Capitol press conference that he considers the creation of a task force to be “a victory for the people of Colorado.” “For the first time, with the (oil and gas) commission that the governor mentioned, citizens will be on equal footing with the oil and gas industry and will be able to directly negotiate to protect their property rights, home values, and air quality,” Polis said. The 18-member task force would be charged with helping to “minimize land use conflicts that can occur when siting oil and gas facilities near homes, schools, businesses and recreational areas,” according to the governor’s office. The task force would be made up a diverse group of members from across all business fields. Members would include representatives from the industries of oil and gas, conservation, agriculture, homebuilders and local governments and civic leaders. The task force would make recommendations on fracking issues to the Legislature.

The politics of fracking played out almost immediately after the press conference ended. Former Congressman Bob Beauprez, who is running against Hickenlooper this fall, blasted the “backroom deal” reached by the governor and Polis as having left “many unanswered questions.” Colorado Republican Chairman Ryan Call was also critical of the announcement. “Literally, the only thing that we know for certain after today’s press conference is that Gov. Hickenlooper, Jared Polis and Colorado Democrats want even more control over Colorado’s already heavily regulated energy industry,” Call said through an emailed statement. As for Udall, he had been in a tough spot on the fracking issue, considering that a large number of environmentalists — a key Udall constituency — had been behind Polis’ efforts. The senator issued a statement in favor of the agreement. “This deal — which averts a divisive and counterproductive ballot fight over one-sizefits-all restrictions — is welcome news and underscores how all of Colorado benefits when we find common ground,” Udall said. Polis, whose district includes some cities that have voted to ban fracking, told reporters that he had never been pressured by fellow Democrats worried about the political ramifications to halt his efforts. “I would say no,” Polis said. “The Democrats in my district were very excited about these initiatives and the chance to fight it out and protect their homes. Obviously this will be disappointing to some of my constituents, Republican and Democratic, but I would point out to them that there’s been progress made.”

Voters will not be weighing in on hydraulic fracturing this November after all. Gov. John Hickenlooper and U.S. Rep. Jared Polis announced an 11th hour deal on Aug. 4 to create a special task force to address issues surrounding fracking — the very day that signatures to put fracking on the November ballot were due for submission to the Secretary of State’s Office. The task force is part of a deal that the two Democrats reached in the days leading up to the announcement that will also end efforts by Polis to place two anti-fracking ballot initiatives on the November ballot. Later in the day, pro-fracking groups said they too will drop their own ballot initiative efforts, suddenly ending what was gearing up to be a ballot box fight that was expected to be costly — both in terms of campaign advertising dollars and potentially in political price for other candidates seeking office this fall. The Polis-backed initiatives sought to increase setback requirements for wells and would have also given communities greater control over oil and gas drilling operations. Pro-fracking groups had sought initiatives that could have had economic impacts on communities that ban fracking — the process by which water and chemicals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas underneath. Also as part of the agreement, Hickenlooper said that the state would work to end a lawsuit against Longmont over new oil and gas regulations the city adopted two years ago. But the big news is the agreement to pull the ballot measures. Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry had opposed Polis’ efforts, concerned that the initiatives would be akin to a fracking ban in a state that relies on drilling to feed the economy. And Democrats were concerned that an expensive fracking battle would hurt candidates this November, especially Sen. Mark Udall, who is locked in a tight re-election campaign against U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner. But those fears for Democrats now appear to be over as Polis announced he is backing

VA overhaul garners overwhelming support Move comes on heels of series of revelations By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Congress last week passed a bill aimed at reforming the Department of Veterans Affairs, an agency that has been the subject of intense scrutiny over a number of departmental failures. The $16 billion legislation would provide money for new VA medical facilities and the hiring of more doctors and nurses. The bill would also allow veterans to see doctors outside the VA system if they are unsuccessful in obtaining an appointment. A congressional conference committee worked to merge efforts by the Senate and the House of Representatives and came up with a compromise bill that passed the Senate on July 31 with overwhelming bipartisan support. It passed the House the day before. “I think veterans are going to be better served now and the VA is going to be a better organization by veterans being able to vote with their feet if they’re not getting adequate care,” said Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora, a Republican Coffman and veteran who serves on the House Veterans Affairs Committee. The bill is a response to several alarming departmental failures that came to light in recent months. A federal audit shows that more than
57,000 veterans have waited at least three months to see a doctor, while others who asked for appointments never received one. Some veterans died while waiting months for an appointment. Other findings have shown that VA employees — whose bonuses are tied to wait time reductions — falsified reports to hide information about long wait times. The scandal led to the resignation of department director Eric Shinseki in May. The Senate on July 29 confirmed Robert McDonald as the department’s new secretary. The bill would require that the agency send veterans to private health providers when the department is unable to provide care within 14 days. The legislation would also ban bonuses for VA employees and puts in place greater oversight over the department’s operations. Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Golden said he is particularly happy about being able to provide funding for more doctors and nurses, which he hopes will put an end to extraordinary wait times for appointments. “I think this is going to benefit our veterans in both the short term and long term,” Perlmutter said. Members of Congress hope the legislation is the beginning of the end to an embarrassing ordeal. “Our veterans have made incredible sacrifices and we owe it to them to fulfill the promises we have made,” said Republican Rep. Cory Gardner of Yuma. “What’s happened at the VA over the last several years has been shameful and unbecoming of the type of respect and the oath we have made, the solemn obligation we have made to our vets.”

Life is a conveyor belt toward final checkout Pat Bowlen has Alzheimer’s. There is no known cure. It is very difficult to watch a life in descent. By now, most of us have probably been through it — or we are going through it right now. My dear friend Ruth, 96, thought we were married. My aunt thought I was my cousin Linn. I left Michigan on a Tuesday, I was in Highlands Ranch on Wednesday, and I was back in Michigan on Thursday. My mother didn’t know I had left, and I was staying with her. My father couldn’t eat, drink, walk or talk. It was nearly impossible for my sister and me to watch. He was in the hospital for the final eight months of his life. It was unfair. Our mother was in her kitchen one day, in a hospice the next, and gone a few days after that, but our father took his time. I guess it has been known for some time that Bowlen was experiencing short-term memory loss and other signs of Alzheimer’s, but most of us didn’t find out until July 23. The story dominated the Post, to the extent that there was no editorial page. Amy Van Dyken was told to say her goodbyes. After her recent ATV accident in Show Low, Ariz., she was told to say good-bye to her husband. She said good-bye, but she wasn’t going anywhere. It is one of the best stories of 2014. There have been a lot of lousy stories this
year, but when I get down on them, I check in on Amy. She is going to compete in a 26.2-mile marathon in her purple wheelchair with her brother by her side. I am certain that Amy will be more active than I am, even though she is paralyzed from the waist down, and I am fully ambulatory. It’s likely that years of athletic discipline prevented the accident’s outcome from being worse than it was. Respecting life means something to me. And respecting death does too. They don’t seem to care in some parts of the world. In my least favorite part of the world, the Middle East, you get a number, not a name. It doesn’t seem to matter if you are a mother or a father or a child. It doesn’t seem to matter if you are praying at the time, reading a good book or learning how to play the violin. There will be a bomb. And the total that day will be on the news. The number of innocents who were killed. There are never any
names. But here we name every single one. I read the obituaries. I don’t know any of them, but I want to find out whatever I can. I wrote my father’s obituary, knowing that nobody knew him. I thought maybe there was someone like me who would read it with an oblique interest, and realize that he was a good man. I am 66 and some of my friends have died, and some of their mothers and fathers have died. That’s what happens when you get older. Death is no longer somewhere way out there. It’s in the next email. It’s in the next phone call. My mother and father died within three months of each other. There is an almost unexplainable emptiness that goes along with the deaths of both a mother and a father. Now what? My sister and I carry the family history. I carry most of it in my memory. I have a few photographs and a few videos, and that’s all. There is no presence. Death starts knocking when we are young. It may be a pet. I saw a dried-up lizard when I was 5 or 6, and didn’t understand what I was looking at. I do now.

Turn to teamwork for better outcomes While I was facilitating a team meeting recently, the people in the room had an “aha” moment that will change the course and culture of the company and also accelerate their success. It wasn’t anything so profound, it was simply just a realization that they could accomplish more as a team than they ever could possibly do as individuals. Another one of those common-sense things that are not always common practice. This was a group of high-achieving and high-performing individuals. And since they were seen as the superstars of the company, they behaved in the same way. Egos were getting in the way of taking the team and the company to a higher level. I reminded them that even in the All Star games of professional sports, the players at the pinnacle of their game come together for one game and play for a common cause … a win. This is not an uncommon situation, and as a matter of fact, I find it to be true with small businesses and large companies alike. I see it in associations and organizations of all kinds. And I have witnessed it with families and in
churches. You see, we can all benefit from finding the resources and people in our lives that can help us achieve success. Even the individual who struggles through difficult times or fights their way through incredible opportunities presented to them could benefit so much by leveraging the people in their lives that could absolutely lend a hand, give advice, or just listen to the ideas and goals. Here’s the thing, sometimes some of us worry so much about perception that we are afraid to engage others for the fear of feeling like we are not smart enough or strong enough to handle the situation or opportunity on our own. So in the face of feeling embarrassed, we go it alone. If we would only learn
to lean on our families, friends, and/or other people we already know or could be introduced to, we can truly accelerate our successes in life. Take the time to think about an event or potential opportunity that has already taken place in your life where the outcome wasn’t exactly what you had hoped for. Now think about the people in your life that could have made a difference in that outcome. What if you had assembled a team or small group to help you, maybe even just one other individual that could have provided an assist, do you think that the outcome could have been improved? How about you? Do you like to go it alone or do you believe that teamwork could accelerate success? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we come together for the greater good or a common cause, it really will be a better than good week.

Tips on surviving campaign season As a truly “purple” state, we’re headed again to the non-stop TV ads, phone surveys, and campaign pieces in the mailbox. Since I’m not running this time (thank God), I thought it might help to give some tips on how to survive the storm of the campaigning around us, and more easily make informed decisions as we get ready to vote this fall. • In the eye of the storm — In our community where we are so mixed politically, there’s good news and bad news. Good news is that we often vote for the candidate rather than just following the party line. With ballot initiatives, we’ve shown that we are a true blend of conservatives, moderates, and progressives. Bad news is that we get bombarded with campaign materials from every medium and every angle because our “persuadable, informed” votes are wanted. So, get ready for full steam ahead! • How do you know who or what to trust? — With the showers of materials
and ads, how do you know who’s telling the truth or what material to believe? No doubt, it’s difficult. In my own re-election campaign in 2012, there were claims about me that were outrageously false. Political operatives even created a fake online newspaper to push those lies! Fortunately, enough people saw through their unethical antics. Unfortunately, false political advertising claims are rarely successful because the materials are considered “protected political speech.” So, beware of the spin and don’t trust anyone but yourself!
Do your own research on the candidate or initiative. Call, email or see the candidate in person. Read the candidate’s direct fact-checked information, and look at his/ her voting record yourself. Yes, this does take time. Informed voters make better choices! • Be nice to volunteers — The volunteers calling or walking in your neighborhood are people like you and me who are just trying to contribute to the democratic process our forefathers intended for us. And they’re most likely your neighbors! • Candidates are people too - Although you might disagree with a candidate at your door occasionally, you might want to remember they’re people, too. They are taking a courageous risk to step up publicly to volunteer their time, energy and, often, their money, to do something most people wouldn’t think of doing. Over my years as a state senator, I have found that most people in our area are respectful of that. Occasionally, though, strangers who
don’t even know who I am or how I represent them have been unnecessarily rude. We need to remember that we’re all just people trying to do what we think is right. • To help you make it through the storm — Before the ballots come out, I will host a town hall in September with a non-partisan, objective presentation by Colorado Legislative Council staff who are the analysts who write the Blue Book. Local candidates will also be welcome to introduce themselves and answer questions. Overall, though, we’re lucky to have the privilege to vote, right?

Pay-for-Success Act will help close ‘skills gap’ At a time when federal dollars are stretched thin, we need to shift to models that pay for outcomes, rather than paying for services that may or may not be working. This is the type of approach that can and should apply to a range of government services. It’s also the type of approach Republican Sen. Rob Portman and I took when crafting the recently passed Pay-for-Success Act — which works to make federal job training programs more effective and responsive to what employers want. When I meet with business owners from all across the state, from the Western Slope to the San Luis Valley, from large manufacturers to small information technology companies, there is one thing that they have in common: a challenge finding workers with skills that match their business needs. At Western Slope Industries in Grand Junction they stressed how difficult it was to find employees with the proper training. Diversified Machine Systems in
Colorado Springs is rapidly expanding with high customer demand, yet they are not able to hire qualified employees fast enough. In Loveland, Leed Fabrication’s need is so great, they had to build their own training facility. It’s not that there aren’t enough workers, it’s that they aren’t trained in the fields that are hiring. This problem, commonly referred to as the “skills gap,” is driving unemployment and stifling economic growth in Colorado and across the nation. A 2011 report found that 74 percent of manufacturers are experiencing work-
force shortages or skills deficiencies that are significantly hindering their ability to expand operations and improve productivity. They aren’t alone. Employers across the country — particularly in the information-technology sector and throughout other high-growth industries in this economy — are facing a lack of skilled workers, even as tens of thousands of Coloradans continue to look for work. The Pay-for-Success Act creates a new model for workforce development that helps address this problem and close the skills gap by improving federal job training programs. State and local workforce boards will now have the flexibility to enter into contracts with job-training providers who will be reimbursed for their services only if they deliver on agreed-upon outcomes. For instance, a Colorado job-training provider tasked with training a certain number of workers to fill high-need positions in a specific region or a rapidly
growing industry would not be paid if the jobs aren’t filled. The result is workforce development training that is more aligned to regional needs and employer demands. In Colorado, roughly 10 percent of core federal job-training funds, or $3.24 million, will be available for workforce boards to steer toward these innovative types of “Pay-for Success” contracts. This will help state and local workforce boards better serve the roughly 9,000 Coloradans who use their services to gain new skills to get back to work. The Pay-for-Success Act is the type of model that promotes innovation by rewarding results and penalizing complacency. This common-sense reform ensures that job training programs are more responsive to the needs of employers and are preparing more workers for a 21st-century economy. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

Councilmember Jerry Valdes agreed that there were more pressing matters at hand, but he doesn’t think trash should be their issue at all. “I’ve heard from a lot of people opposed to being told what trash service to use and taking away options from them,” he said. But Councilmember Peggy Cole said it was a popular topic of discussion when she was

Bemis legacy a lasting one in Littleton Granddaughter relates family history at pair of local stops By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com With Western Welcome Week right around the corner, it was opportune that Maya DeBus was in town last week to talk about her grandfather, who was a cofounder of the event and has a name synonymous with all things Littleton: Ed Bemis. “It wasn’t what my grandfather did, it was how he did it and how he made you feel when he did it,” DeBus told her audience at Englewood Library on Aug. 1. Hosted by the historic societies in Englewood and Littleton, DeBus came all the way from California to give presentations in each city. “My grandfather suffered a stroke in 1968 and was never really able to speak again,” she said. “But he had told his stories numerous times before it was too late.” Now she is carrying on his voice, having researched and archived artifacts from his life in Littleton and how he lived happily ever after with his wife, Katherine. He was a native Littletonite, born in 1887 to Judge Fred Bemis, the town’s justice of the peace, and his wife, Elizabeth. Ed Bemis is perhaps best known for being the namesake of Littleton’s only library, or for his longtime association with the Littleton Independent, where he started as an apprentice at the age of 11 and retired as publisher in 1951. Lesser known facts include that he was in the first graduating class at Littleton High School, was thought to be the youngest town treasurer in the country, spent time as the fire chief and owned a Kodak franchise on Main Street. Proving he also had a wild side, he once got a speeding ticket on his 1914 Indian motorcycle. In addition to WWW and the library, organizations he helped create include the Littleton Historic Society, the Colorado Press Association, the city’s planning board, the Denver Westerners, Littleton Museum, Littleton Rotary and the electric trolley that once ran down Main Street. “My grandfather was particularly good at
Maya DeBus with her favorite photo of her grandparents, Ed and Katherine Bemis. Photos by Jennifer Smith getting people together,” said DeBus. “He was good at connecting, at getting things done right, sharing ideas, sharing successes and sharing challenges.” DeBus remembers visiting Littleton from California as a child to witness the grand opening of the library bearing his name, then returning to attend a concert there last year. “I looked around at the children playing, and parents relaxing, and realized what a wonderful thing my grandfather planted the seeds for,” she said. “But water, pruning and a lot of effort goes into any community, into making things grow and blossom. … It’s so important to tell the people who they are, it’s important to tell the children. If we don’t tell them, all they have is what they see on TV, and they think that’s who they are.”

haven’t gotten rich — we’ve lost money. It just feels good — freeing.” Adrian agreed. “It feels like you have a lot of choices — you’re not weighted down by all the possessions.” They might have thought differently about the downsizing if they had children. But their belongings, they say, don’t hold the same sentimental value to nieces and nephews. And being unencumbered by things, they say, gives them a freedom to pursue new passions wherever they take them. “Whatever,” Adrian said, “we want to do.” But nothing that requires having a lot of stuff. Cristin mentions an old radio ad that described the Mile High Flea Market as a place where the under-stuffed come to get stuff and the over-stuffed go to sell stuff. “I want to be the under-stuffed,” Cristin said. “I don’t ever want to be the over-stuffed again.” A little place will be fine. Big enough to hold only basic necessities. But with unlimited room for all the memories.

“Cowboy Lore,” watercolor, by Robert Gray is included in the Western Welcome Week Western Heritage exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton. Courtesy photos
Local artists show Western works Gray, Phippen exhibit set for Town Hall gallery By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Skilled paintings of cowboys, horses and the Western landscape will fill the Stanton Gallery at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center during the month of August, especially during Western Welcome Week, with the Western Heritage Art Show. The exhibit opens Aug. 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Robert Gray of Highlands Ranch and Sarah Phippen of Sedalia will exhibit images of horses, cowboys and Western landscapes. An artists’ reception is planned from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 14, and the exhibit ends Aug. 25. Robert Gray is a Colorado-born artist who paints in watercolor, oil and acrylics, showing lots of action, color and loose style. He will have 20 paintings in the Western Heritage exhibit and is excited about being in downtown Littleton, where he maintained a studio and taught for some years on West Alamo Avenue. He conducts workshops all over Colorado and paints almost every day in his home studio. “My house is just full of paintings,” he said with a laugh. “”I love to paint.” He works from photographs and memory and uses little plastic model horses. “Sometimes, I paint the horse, then just put the cowboy in the saddle,” he said. He doesn’t sketch in figures for oil or acrylic works, but may do a little pencil sketch of figure for his watercolors. A recent painting of a cowboy on a horse in the middle of a stream — fly fishing — is called “It Beats Chasin’ Cattle.” It reflects a new interest. His son got interested in fly fishing and they both signed up for a class in fly tying. Gray hasn’t caught many fish yet, but loves “the beauty of the location.” He said his brother was a better painter when they were young, but while Gray continued painting, his brother quit. “I picked up publications and art books, attended workshops all over the country,” he said. “What’s neat when I teach is that I learn from my students.” Whatever medium he’s using is his favorite on that day, he said. He’s figured out his own way to use acrylics and paints fast, whatever he’s using — even oils, where he might spend a few days. Watercolors can get overworked if the artist doesn’t stop in time. (No more than two hours.)
Phippen to show oils
Phippen said all of her works in this show will be oil paintings, although she also sculpts in bronze. Her formal training began at age 14, according to her website,
“Fly Fishing Cowboy” by Robert Gray, acrylic, is also in the Western Welcome Week Western Heritage Arts Show.
New York Eater, the national website that has a Denver version (www.denver.eater. com), has tracked the culinary trek of Colorado chefs who have packed their knives and migrated to The Big Apple. While writer Nick Solares highlights the Colorado kitchen careers of a number of chefs who practiced their craft at The Little Nell in Aspen and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder in particular, the story had a glaring omission — my son, On the Town Junior. Mackenzie Parker Harden moved to New York City more than a year ago to pursue a performing arts career, but fell back on the restaurant training he received at Elway’s, El Diablo and (as a sage) at TAG, and landed a server job at Maialino, a much-lauded jewel in the crown of the Union Square Hospitality Group, helmed by noted restaurateur Danny Meyer. The story credits the culinary program of The Little Nell resort in Aspen and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder for providing top New York restaurant whizzes. Among those former Coloradans are Dustin Wilson, the sommelier at Eleven Madison Park, Sabato Sagaria, chief restaurant officer for Union Square Hospitality Group and seemingly the entire staff of Charlie Bird, to name but a few. The story notes: “Is Colorado turning into a farm system for NYC kitchens? Is this just a strange coincidence? Or is there, in fact, a Colorado connection? Eater talked with some of the state’s notable expats to find out just why, exactly, so many talented hospitality professionals are migrating from Colorado to New York.” It continues: “Colorado is in many ways the quintessential Western state, and the resourcefulness and spirit of independence that were such driving forces in the migration across the plains still manifest themselves there. `It’s hard to live in Colorado if you are not a motivated person,’ says Ryan Hardy, chef and owner of Charlie Bird in NYC. Originally from Kentucky, Hardy spent a decade in Colorado before moving to New York and opening his own restaurant. He has played a role in the cross-pollination of restaurant cultures between the two places, bringing others from Colorado, such as Grant Reynolds, the wine director at Charlie Bird, with him.”

RIGHT: “Scouting,” oil by Robert Gray, is also in the exhibit. and she has since studied with Jim Norton, Daniel Sprick, Sandra Kaplan and Anthony J. Ryder. Her grandfather was sculptor, painter and founder of Cowboy Artists of America George Phippen, and she was recognized in 2013 by the Phippen Museum Western Art Show in Prescott, Ariz. “I grew up surrounded by livestock and wildlife,” Phippen writes. “Observing their personalities and expressions allowed me to experience their quiet moments or read trouble in their eyes. I see this heritage as part of our age-old relationship with animals; it is part of being human, a privilege that surrounds us every day.” As part of her training, Phippen worked as a wax chaser at the Joseph’s Art Works bronze foundry in Sheridan, operated by the late Bill Joseph’s son Patrick. She assisted with a 2004 retrospective for George Phippen, held at the Phippen Museum, and developed an art enrichment program for elementary students. A true Western artist, Phippen’s website reads, she belongs to the Art Students
League of Denver and to the Colorado Farm Bureau. “Communicating emotions in a visual language, either in painting or sculpture, requires a fluency in light, color, form, as well as patient observations … Observe and observe again and look for the reasons behind expressions. How — and why — does a horse smile? That’s what I’m after.” She thinks she will have about eight paintings: two large horses, a 16-by-20 landscape and some smaller studies. New for her: two light figures on a dark background.
IF YOU GO The Western Heritage Art Show will open Aug. 9 and run through Aug. 25 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main Street in downtown Littleton. Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 9. Public reception is from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 14. 303-794-2787, townhallartscenter.com.
Denver Zoo, in partnership with Children’s Colorado, unveiled its new costumed mascot character on July 27 at the zoo’s first Teddy Bear Care Fair.

OFFICIAL GUIDE BROUGHT TO YOU BY
Western Welcome Week brings plenty of horsepower By Christy Steadman
csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com It is the Chinese year of the horse, and people will have plenty of opportunities to do some horsin’ around in Littleton at the 2014 Western Welcome Week, taking place Aug. 8-17. This year’s theme is Giddy Up!, and the event will be celebrating community for the 86th year by offering dozens of activities for families and individuals to enjoy during the 10-day celebration. It wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of about 20 organizations and proceeds will benefit many local nonprofits. Cindy Hathaway, executive director for the event, said a person does not need to be “Western” to enjoy the event. “It’s Western Welcome Week because we’re in the West,” she said. “(But) there’s definitely something for everybody.” Hathaway added the only stipulation is that people come to have fun. Attendees can look forward to live music and dancing, food, arts and crafts, educational seminars and unique contests. Here are some of the Giddy Up! highlights of Western Welcome Week. The main event is Festival Day, which takes place on Aug. 16, beginning at 6:30 a.m. when people can purchase breakfast at the Grand Western Sandwich Breakfast at Littleton United Methodist Church, 5894 S. Datura St. From 10 a.m. to noon, thousands of people are expected to line the streets to attend the Grand Parade. The parade route begins at Littleton Boulevard and Gallup Street, heads west on the north side of Littleton Boulevard, continues through downtown Littleton on Main Street, turns south at the end of Main Street onto Rapp Street, and ends at Arapahoe Community College at Rapp and Church streets. The parade is free to attend, and will feature equestrians, high school marching bands, pipe bands, tractors and floats. Dr. Charlie Vail of Littleton Equine Medical Center will be recognized as the Grand Marshal.
Western Welcome Week begins on Aug. 8, and activities for the 25th Family Night Concert in the Park and Fireworks at Sterne Park, 5900 S. Spotswood Ave., begin at 6 p.m. The Denver Municipal Band, a full 40-piece concert band featuring some of the area’s leading professional players — including many principal musicians of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra — will perform at 7:45 p.m. Following the concert, at about 9 p.m., Tri-State Fireworks will be putting on a professional fireworks display. All kids, from toddlers to age 12, are welcome to participate in the 19th Bruce Wolf Stick Horse Stampede on Aug. 10 at Arapahoe Community College, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the stampede is promptly at 10 a.m. It is free for all participants, and kids are welcome to bring their own stick horse or one can be purchased at the event for $10. Ribbons will be given to winners and all entries will receive a participation ribbon. The Stanton Art Gallery in the Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., will be hosting the Western Heritage Art Show Aug. 5-25 in recognition of Western Welcome Week. The art show features Colorado artists Robert Gray and Sarah Phippen and their artwork aimed at capturing the life of the West. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. During Western Welcome Week, the gallery will also be open on Saturday, Aug. 16 for Festival Day. Additionally, an artist’s reception, open to the public, will take place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 14, where people will have an opportunity to meet the artists. The Western Heritage Art Show is free to attend. There will be opportunities to enjoy the outdoors during this year’s Western Welcome Week at the 21st Stampede! for Open Space or the 19th Gold Panning on the Platte. Both events take place from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Aug. 9 at the Carson Nature Center, South Platte Park, 3000 W. Carson Drive. Stampede! for Open Space is a family-friendly, free event offered for people to learn about the outdoors. Attendees will learn about living in a tipi, trapping, drought and floods on the river flow table, animals in South Platte Park and land uses, and participate in craft-making and old-fashioned games. Gold Panning on the Platte is a free, drop-in event part of the Stampede! for Open Space. People will be able to experience Colorado’s heritage by panning for gold in the South Platte River near the Carson Nature Center, behind Aspen Grove Shopping Center. Equipment and expertise will be provided, and people get to keep any gold they find. Western Welcome Week offers a couple of different opportunities for folks to dine and dance, Westernstyle. The Elks Hometown Pig Roast & Dance takes place from 6 to 11 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Littleton Elks Lodge, 5749 S. Curtice St. The pig roast will be buffetstyle, and includes coleslaw, baked beans, corn-onthe-cob and a dinner roll. A child’s plate, available for toddlers to age 12, consists of a hot dog and chips. An adult plate costs $9, and a child’s plate costs $4. Din-

Shelties put on a show Dogs are an entertaining part of the Grand Parade By Jennifer Smith

Maggie Wild of Wild West Shelties marches in several parades a year with Miss Drew and Corky Joe. Courtesy photo
t was love at first sight when Maggie Wild met Dinky and Aspen, and she decided to put that love on parade. “When I would walk them, I was almost stopping traffic because they were so cute to watch,” she said. “I thought, ‘How can I share theses dogs with others?’ They put a smile on your face and joy in your heart.” Dinky and Aspen were Wild’s first Shetland sheepdogs, affectionately known as Shelties, which she welcomed into her home in 1995. She wanted to find a way to let the world know what a great breed they were, so she came up with the idea of teaching them to pull a little Conestoga wagon, custom built just for them, and hitting the road on the parade circuit, winning lots of awards along they way. “They are herding dogs, and they love to be kept busy, so this is their job,” she said. “And they love the attention.” Training them wasn’t too hard, she said. She started by having them pull around an empty milk jug, then a Radio Flyer wagon, then the wagon filled with sand. A tack shop made the harnesses for them, and another friend added
Lydia, their rag-doll passenger, and Skippy the Horse, their outrider. “They’re so smart,” said Wild. “They love tricks and they like learning new maneuvers.” Sadly, she lost Dinky and Aspen within seven sad weeks of each other. But she was hooked on the breed and now is doggie mom to Corky Joe, 11, and Miss Drew, 8. They’ve been marching in the Western Welcome Week Grand Parade since 2002, much to the delight of their fans of all ages. “I have a lot of fun, plus it’s something I can do with my dogs,” she said. “Mostly, I love to extend joy out to people. Both of my parents were very community-minded, so it’s just come naturally. I just found a little bit different way than they had.” Miss Drew is a bouncy little girl, and Corky is an excellent dancer. They love to play hide and seek with Wild, waiting patiently for her to hide, then seeking her out when they hear her clap. Corky is a fantastic singer, and although Drew’s vocal cords were cut by her original breeder, she can most definitely get her point across when she wants to. But they are more than just local celebrities, having been trained as therapy dogs. They regularly visit places like Craig Hospital and Life Care Center, eager to cuddle and help with fine motor skills. “They are very loyal, they have huge hearts, and they love to give to others,” said Wild.

Cowboy Steve croons the classics Smith is a longtime fixture of local music scene By Jennifer Smith jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com
C
owboy Steve “Smitty” Smith doesn’t need Music City USA to be a country star, because he’s a celebrity right here at home. “I made a trip to Nashville, but it just never really materialized for me,” he said. “I didn’t want to pick up roots and leave Colorado.” Cowboy Steve has had kids hootin’ and hollerin’ during Western Welcome Week for the last 35 years, playing his fiddle or guitar in the parade and cranking out classic favorites like “She’ll be Coming `Round the Mountain” and “Oh Susanna” on the family stage during his afternoon sing-along. “They get to whistle, they get to yell and scream, stomp and holler,” he said. “Kids are the best audience in the world. They’re uninhibited, they’re all in.” He loves keeping the old classics alive while teaching kids about history and cowboy culture. “Colorado really has that Western spirit, its entrepreneurism, its individualism,” he said. “People get to be who they are.” Smith got his start in the music industry in the heart of Littleton in 1985, when
he purchased what was once Crescendo Music just off of Littleton Boulevard on Cedar Street. “Owning a music store is really what I wanted to do,” he said. “But I didn’t have any business training other than just common sense.” He did have a degree in mass communications, though, which is what brought him to town. He came to Colorado from St. Louis in 1978 to take a sales job at a Westminster newspaper, but he fell in love with Littleton right away. When a similar opening came up at the Littleton Independent, he jumped on it. He took over Crescendo Music when owner Robb Heskett, a friend, made a move into the wholesale end of the business. That’s also about the time Cowboy Steve started making the rounds, at first just for the children of friends, then as a professional gig. “I really love the persona,” he said. “I feel very fortunate to have figured that one out.” What he figured out was that he had to keep the little ones engaged by interacting with them, getting them riled up and rocking out. “If you’re having fun, the audience, whether they’re 6 years old or 60 years old, can’t help but have fun too, and that’s a good feeling,” he said. Smith has been in a variety of bands over the years, including as one half of Colfax and Wadsworth with his friend Ed

He currently plays with Lois Lane and the Super Cowboys along with his old friend Heskett, or “Ranger Robb,” as he’s known. The two also perform together as the Mango Brothers, departing from their usual country and rock to play island music. He’s also available for private lessons, and he works part time at Music Go Round near Southwest Plaza as an instrument technician, maintaining and
restoring anything with strings. “Music is my calling,” he said. “I’m a lucky man. I’ve paid the bills my whole life doing it. You make sacrifices along the way, you know how it is. But it’s been great.” Even after 35 years, Smith still looks forward to Western Welcome’s Week’s Festival Day and the Grand Parade, Aug. 16 this year. “We see people every year on that one day who we only see that one day a year, and it feels like a piece of Americana,” he said.

Church troupe to stage melodrama By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Perils on the Platte” is a new Western Welcome Week event: an old-fashioned melodrama, performed by the Encore Players, a ministry of Littleton United Methodist Church. It is co-directed by Kathy Peterson, who has lived in Littleton for 51 years, and Donna Smith, a Littleton native.
If longtime residents detect a flavor of the late, lamented “Fiasco” community spoof productions, it’s no accident. Both theater professionals were heavily involved in the “Fiasco” series and retain the aura of irreverence shown in those spoofs. This production will offer a good time and an opportunity to do good: Peterson is a longtime member of the Clipped Wings retired flight attendants’ organization, and a portion of the proceeds from

Consider the plight of young, beautiful, but down-on-her-luck Starla Gotrocks ( Jennifer Novinger), who decides she can no longer keep her baby, Echo (Tasha Waterman) — or the dishes her deceased husband left her — and leaves baby and a dish in the weeds along the banks of the South Platte River. (Here, the audience should say “awww!’) Kalvin and Klara Kindly (Ron Duce and Marilyn Miller) find the baby and decide to keep her and raise her as their own. They have also discovered gold.

Speaker shoots wildlife in the nicest way Camera club to host nature photographer By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Our Wonderful World of Wildlife” is Russ Burden’s title for his 20-minute program that features photos of mammals, birds, insects and more, photographed both locally and during the nature photography tours he conducts. Slides are accompanied by music, offering a mini-escape from reality. He will present the program at 7 p.m. Aug. 12 for the Englewood Camera Club’s monthly meeting at Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit in Centennial. Guests and new members are welcome to this longstanding club (60 years), according to member Steve Johnson. Burden, a Parker resident, teaches locally and travels across the U.S. and around the world (Africa is a new destination), connecting photographers and nature. He replied to our inquiry from Glacier National Park, where he is conducting two tours, photographing the spectacular scenery and wildlife. His website offers a nice hint for those who can’t contemplate a long journey to Africa right now: zoo photography. He offers suggestions for equipment to take on a “Safari to the Zoo” and wryly comments that it’s easier to get a close-up shot there. He also offers “10 Ways To Become a Better Photographer” on his well-organized website: RussBurdenPhotography.com.

`Elements and Isotopes’ explored at MOA Englewood museum plays host to collegiate exhibit this August By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Since 1991, The Museum of Outdoor Arts, MOA, has provided stimulating arts education opportunities for young people in various formats. The 2014 version has offered college arts students a chance to stretch their wings in internships with distinctive focus. Earlier in the year, a group of CU/Denver students produced community-oriented projects, an exhibit and interactions with the public. The “Summer 2014” group of nine talented student interns from colleges both near and far focused on “Elements and Isotopes: an Exploration of Identity and Connectivity,” producing a sophisticated and engaging exhibit which opened Aug. 2 in the MOA’s handsome upstairs gallery at the Englewood Civic Center. Students applied in the spring, with a professional digital portfolio, resume, cover letter and letters of recommendation. Select students were then interviewed and those accepted, worked five days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from June 2 through Aug. 4. College credit and a $1000 stipend were offered. The chosen students worked under the direction of Imagined Creation’s Cory Gilstrap, the area theater community’s goto guy for puppets of all sorts, who is a master teacher. Gilstrap, as lead artist, was assisted by artist Mickey Boyd and program director Michael Keen, as the group worked through the logistics of creating site-specific museum installations. “Elements and Isotopes” is centered on the premise that “we as individuals are all isotopes of the Human Element. Within confines of our unified experience, we still maintain independent identity and unique modes of expression. Our personal experience, though particular to the individual, is still inextricably linked to the greater whole, creating a web of continuity that spans both space and time.” With a statement formulated, young artists went to work on interpretation. Each created a self-portrait, describing, “What makes you?” Just inside the entrance on the right is a piece by Hannah Brookman, from Bennington College in Vermont, a very nature-oriented, multi-level piece with twigs and moss, inviting the viewer to peek inside. A few steps farther to the right, one finds a large clear box, with a realistic cast resin portrait of Emily Lamb of Littleton, a student at Virginia Commonwealth University. Her face is reflected in a mirror and the back of the head, open to the gallery, is fitted with a mass of polished brass clock works, which she said represents what goes on in her busy mind. A sort of curiosity cabinet, her box has tiny bottles with bits of her history, such as her grandfather’s baby bracelet. She talked about participating with others in construction of two large installations: “Earthbound Tide,” created from monofilament and bark, which explores “the space between.” And “Infinite Reverberations,” a floor-to-ceiling fountain-like construction that explores how water connects all of us. There are 13 installations to view at MOA in addition to the individual portraits. One, “The Human Element,” is a bright red life-sized figure, constructed “of elemental building blocks.” It greets viewers just outside the museum’s door in the atrium, where there is an exhibit of works by three Design and Build alumni: Maeve Eichelberger, Kelly M. Jones and Kai Mazurczyk. At night, Lamb said she worked at home on the complex self-portrait, while developing the concepts — and executing them — on the joint projects during the days. The closing sentence in the program’s description tells what has happened here: “Interns find creative solutions to practical challenges as they master the skills to transform their creative ideas into finished pieces.”
IF YOU GO “Elements and Isotopes runs through Sept. 27 at the MOA. The MOA is located on the second level in the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. Hours: Tuesdays to Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Fridays, Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. 303-806-0444.

A competitive community of CrossFitters Team from Highlands Ranch gym competes in world competition By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com CrossFit is a community. “CrossFit is not easy,” said Steve Hartle, owner of Backcountry CrossFit gym in Highlands Ranch. “It’s the motivation from the group that helps drive you. That sense of community that we’re all in this together.” Recently, seven Highlands Ranch athletes from Backcountry CrossFit competed at the Reebok CrossFit Games, a worldwide competition to “find the fittest on Earth,” which took place July 25-31 in Carson, Calif. According to the CrossFit Games website, “the goal is to find the fittest athletes, not to produce an easily replicable workout program.” Although only seven people affiliated with Backcountry CrossFit qualified to compete in the games, Hartle said it was a group effort that got them there. He said just qualifying for the games is a big deal, and over 45 athletes from the local gym went to spectate and cheer on their team. “We’re (only) the second team in Colorado to ever qualify for the games,” he said, adding that the competition has been around since 2007. Each CrossFit gym is independently owned, and there are about 10,000 in the world, Hartle said. From those 10,000 gyms, 217,000 people began the process of qualifying for the CrossFit Games with the Open, a competition that took place at the end of February. Hartle said the Open consisted of five weeks of different judged workouts. Each week, the scores are compared to others from throughout the region. There are 17 regions around the world. Teams competing in Backcountry CrossFit’s region come from Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. After scoring high enough in the Open, the top 30 teams from the region went on to Regionals in May, which took place in Salt Lake City. The Regional competition is a “three-day competition of head-to-head workouts,” Hartle said. Of the 30 teams that competed in Regionals, the top three qualified to compete in the CrossFit Games.
ABOVE: The Backcountry Black team, from left, Dalton Spanbauer, Becky Conzelman, Stephanie Brady, Dave Foster, Meredeth Smith and Chris Dozois, compete in an event called the “worm” at the Reebok CrossFit Games in California. The team placed 15th out of 43 in the overall world competition. BELOW: Chris Dozois of Castle Rock competes in the mens deadlift at the games. Dozois was one of seven members of Highlands Ranch’s Backcountry CrossFit that competed in the world championships. Photos by Robbie Wright The Backcountry CrossFit team, called Backcountry Black, won second place at Regionals. The team consists of three women, Stephanie Brady and Meredith Smith of Highlands Ranch, and Becky Conzelman of Denver; and three men, Dalton Spanbauer of Highlands Ranch, Chris Dozois of Castle Rock and Dave Foster of Denver. Backcountry CrossFit also had a master in the competition, Mike Egan of Highlands Ranch, who competed individually. Backcountry Black competed in 13 different scored workouts, Hartle said, eventually placing 15th out of 43 teams. Egan competed against 19 other athletes, and was required to do eight different workouts. He finished 12th in the men’s 45-49-year-old division. “CrossFit, in general, is competitive,” Egan said. “You’re competing every day — either against yourself or others in the gym. But, everyone is there, still encouraging you.” A definition of CrossFit is “constantly varied, functional movements (that are) performed at high intensity over a broad time and modal domains.” Hartle said the workouts have to encompass certain things, but can be anything from Olympic lifting, gymnastics and cardio. CrossFit is known as a general preparedness program because it “specializes in not
specializing,” Hartle said. “One of the beautiful things about CrossFit is that anyone can do it (because) it can be scaled to people’s different abilities,” Hartle said. “You challenge yourself every day (and) the better you get, the harder it gets. The appeal is that you never plateau.” Egan said the hardest part about getting involved with CrossFit is showing up. “When you first walk in the door, it’s intimidating — people doing strange workouts,”
Egan said, “but it’s geared from entry-level to advanced. If you do the work, you see progress.” Hartle’s wife, Ashley, who is co-owner of Backcountry CrossFit, said there is no limitation with CrossFit because everything can be modified. She said people who do it gain a new outlook on what they can accomplish. “CrossFit is core-centric,” she said. “It starts with the core and works out. It makes you stronger for everything you do in life.”
Marley uses summer success to his advantage Arapahoe grad prepares to take golf game to next level at Northern Colorado By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Sam Marley usually spends a lot of time at South Suburban Golf Course tuning up his game. The Arapahoe High School graduate will continue to polish his game this fall in Greeley for the University of Northern Colorado men’s golf team. “I go to South Suburban almost every day,” he said. “I probably spend three or four hours a day there.” Marley’s father, Todd, is the head professional at the Centennial course but his son has only been playing competitive golf for four years. “I played baseball until my freshman year,” said Sam. “I played golf for fun with my family, but I didn’t start playing golf competitively until my freshman year. “I used to get a lot of help from my Dad but now I’ve met a guy, Steve Beach, at Glenmoor Country Club. I’ve been taking lessons from him for a while now.” The lessons have paid dividends this summer. For starters, Marley went on a late birdie binge to win the Colorado Golf Association
Arapahoe High School graduate Sam Marley will take his golf game to the University of Northern Colorado this fall. Photos by Jim Benton Junior Match Play Championship at Bear Creek Golf Club July 18 with a 3 and 1 win over Trevor Glen. “It was definitely the biggest tournament that I’ve won,” said Marley who was seeded 46th. “I made a lot of birdies. I made a lot putts but I was also hitting my irons pretty close to hole so that made the putting a little easier. “I have been playing well this summer. It is a little bit of everything but mostly I’ve been hitting to ball really well.” Marley also qualified to play in the
HealthOne Colorado Open with a qualifying score of even-par 70 at Inverness Golf Club on July 9. He shot a 2-under-par 69 on July 24 during the first round of the Colorado Open at Green Valley Golf Course. He finished with rounds of 77, 72 and 75 to finish with a 9-over-par 293 total that left him tied for 62nd place. “It was awesome,” he said. “It was probably one of the favorite tournaments I’ve ever played in. I was pretty excited after the first day. I thought there was no way that I
wouldn’t make the cut. But I kind of struggled through the second day.” Marley’s summer success should help him adjust to collegiate golf at UNC. “A lot of it is I’m way more confident with my putting,” explained Marley. “I just putt a lot over at South Suburban. There are all sorts of drills I’ve gotten from my Dad and a couple of his buddies who are PGA guys as well. “I definitely hope to travel my freshman year at UNC and play as many tournaments as I can.”

A PATCH TO MATCH
Joe Southworth
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Haley Showalter’s first taste of International competition was bitter. She hopes for a sweeter taste when she competes as a member of the USA Track and Field Youth Olympic team in the discus at the Youth Olympic Games for 16- and 17-year old athletes Aug. 16-28 in Nanjing, China. Showalter, a senior-to-be at Valor Christian who won the Class 4A State discus championship in May, was among the participants at the Junior World Championships, held July 2227 in Eugene, Ore. She enjoyed herself despite not faring well in the hammer throw, which ironically is her favorite event. “I didn’t do very well,” said Showalter. “I scratched on all my throws in the qualifiers. That was a little disappointing but despite that I probably had the best time of my life out there with my teammates and watching everybody else compete. “I had never competed internationally. It was a little intimidating so it’s good to have the experience. There was tons of good competition. There were a lot of European girls there and they have been throwing the hammer a lot longer than I have. They have a whole lot more experience. I’ve just got to practice more and get a few more years of experience under my belt.” Rhode Island is the only state that sanctions the hammer throw for high school athletes but Showalter’s heave of 193 feet, 4 inches is the country’s best prep throw this year. Showalter qualified for the Youth Olympics with a personal best discus throw of 153.5 feet at the American Youth Olympic Trials earlier this summer in Miramar, Fla. “I’m excited that I earned another chance to get another international competition experience,” said Showalter. “I’ve got to train with the discus now and get ready. “Hammer is my favorite event. Mostly my focus goes on the discus right now and we’ll probably start throwing the shot during the indoor season. I’m working on everything in my form. I have a lot to iron out. If I fix my form I could throw 20 feet further. I have a lot to straighten out in my form.” Tom Menting is Showalter’s Dad and coach. “I’ve been coaching her since she was 11-years-old,” said Menting. “My certification is in sports performance training. I started training her after school just to get her acclimated to movement. She responded very well. “She leaves for China Aug. 13. Every week we’ve been doing conference calls. They are telling the kids as much as it is for the competition and Olympic Games for kids under 18-yearsold, they are trying to make it very cultural so they get to see some of China and meet people from other countries.’’ Showalter, who has also trained for seven years as a classical pianist, can’t wait. “I’ve never been out of the country so it will be interesting to see the different culture in a different part of the world,” she said. “I took piano lessons a few years back and I still play but I don’t do it as often. Classical is mostly what I practiced and played. It didn’t fit into my schedule with track and basketball though.” Showalter abandoned basketball two years ago and now the world anticipates her gifts as a track and field competitor.
