A TIGHT-KNIT COMMUNITY
Marsha Asheim and Jane Dickinson really know how to spin a good yarn. They know a bunch of different kinds, too — cotton, wool, alpaca, rayon, mohair, mink, bamboo, milk protein and any other kind of yarn you could throw at them. “Yarns have come a long way,” said Asheim. “They’re wonderful colors and textures.” Asheim and Dickinson have owned A Knitted Peace, a block north of Main Street on Prince Street, for eight years. They bought it from their boss at the time, Peggy Anderson, who had opened it five years before that. They both come from a world of words. Asheim taught English and business at Heritage High School, and Dickinson was a journalist at the Rocky Mountain News. They met working at the store, and when Anderson announced she wanted to sell, they knew right away they wanted in.

Today, they employ five women from all different walks of life. Together, they offer a friendly and welcoming environment for knitters to learn new techniques, trade tips or just find fellowship. “They’re very friendly,” said Dickinson. “People who drop by get sucked in pretty fast.” “Knitters are pretty social,” agreed Asheim. And knitting is no longer just for sweaters and afghans. Better fabrics make for more fashionYarn continues on Page 31
Preliminary figures show that enrollment in Littleton Public Schools declined about 1 percent from last year and failed to meet projections in all but four grade levels. “There were some areas we were concerned about, but until we get good numbers, I wouldn’t spend a lot of time worrying about it,” Diane Doney, LPS chief operations officer, told the school board on Sept. 11. The official count window is Sept. 25 through Oct. 7, and Doney expects the final numbers to look better. The biggest hit is at the high school level, which dropped 62 students. Fiftytwo of those are from Arapahoe alone. Littleton lost 27, and Heritage gained seven. The alternative high schools’ enrollment increased by 10 students. The elementary schools lost 28 students overall, with the majority from Highland (24), Field (23), and East (21). Lenski gained 22, and Moody added 21. The middle schools are down 29 students, mostly at Euclid (34). Powell helped make up the difference by gaining 37. The district expected to gain at least a few students at the elementary and middle school levels, and projected it would lose only about 19 high-schoolers. The projections were too high across the board — by 42 at the elementary level, 45 at the middle level and 43 at the high schools. Enrollment in Littleton Public Schools had been on a steady downward trend since a recent high of 16,284 in 2001; in 2011, there were 15,040 students. At the time, analysts thought the district had bottomed out and would remain fairly steady from there on out. LPS continues on Page 31

Wilder Lanes plan clears hurdle Columbine Valley board urges trustees’ approval By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Columbine Valley resident Don Slack said he wanted to buy one of the homes planned for the new Wilder Lanes subdivision on the north side of town, the developer told him to put his money where his mouth was to help get them built. So now he’s a partner in Platte Canyon Partners and the new face of the project. “Our goal all along was to do a project that was good for Columbine Valley and not controversial,” said Jay Neese, an original partner, during a hearing in front of the town’s planning commission on Sept. 9. But that was not to be, even with the addition of Slack. The boardroom was packed to overflowing with members of homeowners’ associations neighboring the site just south of the Wilder continues on Page 31

For dad and daughter, a game that two can coach Caley Mitchell stands next to third base, a white baseball cap shading her eyes, a single braid running down her back. Intensity radiates from her small frame as she leans her hands on her knees and looks toward the batter at home plate. “OK, line drive, two-three, you can do it,” she says. “Big zone, fight it off. Good job.” She claps several times. “You can do it. Right here.” The batter strikes out. New inning. “All right, let’s go, hustle,” Caley tells her players as they run onto the field. “Hey, a lot of eyes … you never know, you never know.” In another ballpark, on another day, Toby Tabola, sunglasses perched atop the baseball cap on his head, paces next to third base, stops to send his batter her signals, then leans his hands on his knees. “Get it started, six. C’mon, you can do it,” he says, his voice quiet, confident. “Don’t give up here. You got it. Good job.” He claps and nods encouragement. “C’mon, six, go get it.” The ball pops up. New inning. Toby steps into the dugout, but his words follow the players as they take the field. “A lot of eyes, ladies. Let’s go!” If you listen and watch closely, the similarities between the two softball coaches are apparent. What they say. Mannerisms. How they play the game. Not surprising when you learn they are father and daughter. But what defines them is what you can’t see — the story behind the game, one that tells of family and love, legacies instilled, life lessons well learned. “Being part of something bigger than yourself, such as a team, teaches people to be humble and to put the greater good before yourself,” Caley says. “Being involved in a team sport is one of the best things that ever happened to me. My dad taught me this from a very young age, and I try to instill that in
my players — that belonging to a team, and experiencing the joys and challenges that come with it, is truly a blessing.” The story begins when Caley, now 29, was just 4. Her grandparents sponsored a longtime men’s fast-pitch team, Stenseth Agency. Toby, now 56, played on his own fast-pitch team. Caley always tagged along. “She grew up around the ballparks watching tournaments and watching me play,” Toby says. “She was kind of born into the culture.” Toby, a high school psychology and sociology teacher who retired in 2012 after 32 years, coached football in his early days. Friday night games meant Caley riding with the coaches, eating sunflower seeds, grabbing Cokes at the gas station. “I have vivid memories of sitting and coloring and listening to the coaches strategizing,” Caley says. “I was always part of a team situation. That’s why I love this.” Around 6 years old, Caley picked up a bat for T-ball. Softball started the next year. She joined a competitive summer team at 11, and Toby began coaching her then. “We had a very good father-daughter, coach-player relationship,” Toby says. Caley paid attention to fundamentals. She listened. She learned. She didn’t get angry when her dad corrected her. “She was a joy to coach.” Caley laughs. She points out at her wed-
ding, in his toast at the reception, Toby noted how “she was a very coachable kid.” In high school, Caley played second base and was good enough to earn all-league honors. A shoulder injury the summer before her senior year changed plans to play in college. Instead, she focused on becoming a social studies teacher. But during the 2006-07 school year, while she was student teaching, she also found her way back to softball as an assistant coach — for her dad, in his first year as head coach at Ponderosa High School in Parker. The next year, Castle View High School in Castle Rock hired Caley to teach. And after three years as assistant softball coach there, she became head coach. The two schools are league rivals. Caley: “The first time we played each other, my dad hugged me at the plate and … gave me a white rose.” Then they exchanged lineups. Toby: “It was a special moment. This is pretty cool to go up to home plate to compete against your daughter. I really didn’t care about winning or losing — it was a cool moment.” The two admittedly mirror each other in many ways. Caley: “I find myself saying things all the time that I think, `I must say that ‘cause you say that.’ ” Toby: “Our philosophies are way similar.” Caley: “Yeah, because I got it from you.” Toby: “A lot of thought went into that philosophy.” Caley: “It’s a great philosophy.” The philosophy is small ball or as Toby calls it, “smart ball.” Or as Caley explains, bunting. Toby: “She knows everything I’m going to do, pretty much. She knows when I’m going to bunt.” Caley: “‘Cause it’s always when I would bunt.”

They both believe in the life lessons taught by the game. Toby: “It builds character. You’re forced to face challenges; you don’t get everything you want when you want it. … You can’t be successful if you’re selfish. It forces you to be bigger than yourselves.” Caley isn’t surprised she’s walking in her dad’s footsteps. “I knew I wanted to be a teacher and a coach from a very young age,” Caley says. “I’ve had a really good role model. Even if other parts of his life were stressful, my dad would always say, `I like my job.’ He was always happy in what he was doing. … He showed that he could have such a large sphere of influence and that choosing a career based on what you love is way more important than money or status.” Toby, for his part, couldn’t be prouder of Caley. Facing her on the softball field — where their bond has been nurtured — is an unexpected bonus. “It’s been a blessing,” he says, “a total blessing.” Caley and Toby haven’t played each other yet this year. The matchup should be good — the teams boast two of the state’s best pitchers. Someday, Caley would like Toby to coach with her. They look at each other: Wouldn’t that be fun? And wouldn’t that just be a fitting end to the story behind this game. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

CDOT to maintain control of C-470 Improvements expected to start next summer By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The upcoming C-470 improvements will likely be funded publicly, according to the board governing the project. “It looks like it will be traditional public financing, and it will not be a public/private partnership,” said Megan Castle, communications director for the High Performance Transportation Enterprise, during a Sept. 10 telephone town hall aimed at Arapahoe County residents. A similar telephone town hall took place the next night for Douglas County residents. Controversy erupted last year over the plan to improve Highway 36, on the north side of the metro area, using a combination of government funding and private enterprise. And while Castle said the HPTE board is
still studying all possibilities for C-470, with a final decision due Oct. 14, it seems to be leaning toward leaving the $230 million project in the hands of the Colorado Department of Transportation. The HPTE is a small unit within CDOT with the responsibility to pursue and explore innovative means to finance important transportation projects. “The (project) will be constructed, managed, owned, and operated by CDOT, unless otherwise assigned,” reads the website. Work is expected to begin in the summer of 2016 to add toll lanes to the highway in both directions between 1-25 and Wadsworth Boulevard, with the ultimate goal of extending them to Kipling Parkway. The first phase should wrap up by the end of 2017. Some callers wondered what things will be like during construction, and if that, plus the new tolls, would drive motorists into their neighborhoods. “I really don’t see this as a palatable solution,” said a man identified only as Peter. “You’re just going to push traffic onto side
‘It looks like it will be traditional public financing, and it will not be a public/private partnership.’ Megan Castle,
roads.” Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon said that’s one reason the HPTE decided not to toll all of the lanes. Unlike on E-470, drivers will still have their choice of free or tolled lanes. The HPTE settled on that option in February of last year after several public meetings, tossing out the possibilities of raising taxes and tolling all of the lanes. CDOT representatives explained that there is currently about $112 million available for the project, with the possibility of $15 million more coming from a federal grant. Bonds will be sold to finance the difference, with the tolls going to pay the bondholders and to maintain C-470 into the future. While the rates will vary depending on time of day, they’re expected to be in the $4 to $6 range to run the duration of the tolled lane. One caller, identified only as Nancy, doesn’t think people in Denver use tollways very often. “So how do you plan to con people into using this one?” she asked.
PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS TO C-470 INCLUDE: • Full reconstruction of the existing pavement • Adding auxiliary lanes at selected locations • Improving on-ramps and off-ramps • Realigning substandard curves • Safety and operational improvements between I-25 and Quebec • Replacing the bridges over the South Platte River • Updating water-quality features • Installing noise barriers where required Littleton Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman stressed that the free lanes will still be available for people who want to use them, and said the toll lanes offer a way to manage the volume on those, as well. CDOT Commissioner Ed Peterson agreed, saying direct-access ramps at regular intervals should help, including three at the I-25/C-470 exchange. “This is a choice issue,” he said.

Old virus returns, hits kids Enterovirus can worsen respiratory problems By Jane Reuter
jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Enterovirus is a more than 50-year-old infection getting new life in 2014. Like the virus itself, the best way to curb its transmission hasn’t changed. “The way to prevent it is the same way we say to prevent viruses every year: hand washing and covering your mouth when you cough,” said Sky Ridge Medical Center chief medical officer Dr. David Markenson. Because treatment of this virus is no different than that of any other virus, doctors aren’t testing for enterovirus specifically. But they’ve seen a dramatic increase in respiratory-related pediatric illnesses, presumably due to the enterovirus. Originally discovered in 1962 in California, enterovirus “has been around as a minor player for many, many years,” Markenson said. “Years ago we had no way to tell it was an enterovirus. We would have just said, `We are seeing an increase in respiratory illness,’” he said. “But in the last few years, there’s been an explosion of technology where we can now more easily categorize viruses, so now you’re going to start to hear names associated with them.” The enterovirus is common, typically infecting 10 million to 15 million people in the United States annually — most of them children and most in the summer and fall. Most people who get it don’t get sick or suffer only mild illness. It poses a more serious threat to those with asthma or other respiratory problems.
Knowing what kind of virus it is doesn’t change treatment. “That’s really the biggest reason we recommend not getting any test,” said Dr. Christine Nyquist, medical director of infection, prevention and control at Children’s Hospital. “There’s no anti-virus medication. Antibiotics don’t work. There’s no vaccine. It’s making sure (patients) are comfortable and their breathing is safe. “This is the common cold virus with a different name. Part of the difference is children are having more problems with wheezing and asthma exacerbation. And it’s also very early in the season.” At the new Children’s Hospital South in Highlands Ranch, more than 144 children have come into the urgent care with respiratory problems. Of those, eight were admitted to the hospital. The incidence of respiratory illness is so unusually high that Children’s has enacted screening procedures usually reserved for winter. “It’s the first time we’ve ever done this in the 20-plus years I’ve been here,” Nyquist said. It also appears more children are being diagnosed with asthma, Markenson said. “It’s hard to say if this is better screening, recognition of improved care or we really are seeing more in the community,” he said. Both Nyquist and Markenson emphasize good hygiene. “The message for parents is wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough, try to avoid sick people,” Nyquist said. “If you’re worried about your child’s breathing, that’s the time to go see somebody.” Markenson also suggests people of all ages prepare for the coming winter by getting a flu vaccination.

Governor’s task force will tackle fracking Beauprez says panel seeking solutions will hurt drilling By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper on Sept. 9 announced the formation of a task force that will be charged with finding legislative solutions to issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing. The 19-person commission is made up a broad cross-section of members representing various interests, all of whom will try to craft recommendations for lawmakers on issues that have yet yield compromises. Hickenlooper told reporters during a Capitol press conference that he understands the weight of issues surrounding oil and gas drilling and the importance of the members coming together to find solutions. “I think this is one of the most important issues I’ve ever worked on in my 12 years of public service,” the Democratic governor said. A primary area of focus for the commission will be to find solutions regarding how much control local communities have over fracking — the process by which water, sand and chemicals are blasted deep underground to free up trapped oil and gas. The lack of legislative solutions has resulted in several Colorado communities taking matters into their own hands regarding local control issues. A handful of cities have at one point voted to restrict or ban fracking, which has led to court battles that continue to play out. The task force was born from a compromise that Hickenlooper struck with Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis in August that kept Polis-backed anti-fracking measures from appearing on the November ballot. Hickenlooper said those concerned about the economic impact of the ballot measures “breathed a communal sigh of relief” when the compromise was reached. The initiatives would have
essentially crippled an industry that pumps millions of dollars into the state’s economy. “Now it’s just a matter of rolling up our sleeves,” Hickenlooper said. The governor said that his office received hundreds of applicants to join the task force and that he feels good about the commission’s makeup. “We wanted to have many different self-interests represented here,” he said. The task force will consist of members representing the industries of oil and gas, agriculture and home builders. Conservation groups will also be represented, as well as local governments. The commission will be chaired by La Plata County Commissioner Gwen Lachelt and XTO Energy president Randy Cleveland. The task force’s creation was greeted with optimism by groups representing various interests. Colorado Oil and Gas Commission President Tisha Schuller said she “hopes the task force provides information and insight into what is already a robust regulatory system with a strong role for local governments.” Pete Maysmith of Conservation Colorado said Coloradans are “eager for solutions” on issues surrounding oil and gas drilling. “Colorado is a fantastic place to live and raise a family,” Maysmith said in an emailed statement. “We cannot let this oil boom derail the Colorado dream and unique quality of life.” Republican gubernatorial hopeful Bob Beauprez does not share those sentiments. Beauprez has coined the task force the “Polis Commission,” a body that will produce recommendations that will bury the oil and gas industry with more regulations, he said. “The creation of this panel will, unfortunately, accomplish little beyond enabling an extremist element that wants to stop oil and gas production in Colorado,” Beauprez said. The governor’s office expects the commission to meet “immediately,” with the expectation that it will provide recommendations to the Legislature by March.

P : • Playing games • Social Interaction • Companionship • Helping with household duties • Pet Therapy • Listening to Music • Watching TV/movie • Office assistance/staff support • Special projects (education, crafts, community involvement) Volunteering is a blessing that enriches the lives of both patients and volunteers, the experience is often immensely rewarding for both. A person on hospice care is nearing the end of life however still desires social interaction and meaningful relationships. Whether at home or in an extended care facility, you might just sit and talk, play cards, sing together, go for a walk in the garden, or play an instrument for the patient. The amount of time spent volunteering depends on you. Opportunities range from 30 minutes a month to several hours a week.

Circular talks don’t have to stick around So, the other day I was part of a circular conversation. You know the kind I mean, right? The conversations that go round and round, circling the airport but never landing. The conversations where people jockey for position, take conversations down a rabbit hole, or go so far in an attempt to be politically correct that there is never really any clear outcome from the discussion. And sometimes, maybe even more than sometimes, in those circular conversations, the toughest questions are avoided and actions are taken so that we do not have to respond and can ride the line of balance somewhere between awkward and uncomfortable nothingness to nimble and precise evasiveness. Why does that happen? What questions can possibly be so difficult that we have to hide from their answers? Perhaps it is not so much that we can’t answer the question or that we even wrestle with ourselves about our ability to respond honestly — maybe it’s because as we search our hearts and minds, we really don’t even like the answer that we know to be true. In so many situations where I have coached business professionals, colleagues, and even close personal friends, one of the most common things I hear is that it’s not so much the answer to the tough question that they struggle with … it is trying to over-manage the feelings and how the other people receive and respond to the answer that they need to give. So instead of being direct, we begin layering our response, backpedaling a
little, start our circular navigation of the airport runway, and before we know it achieve total avoidance or dismissal of the question because we don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings or upset the apple cart in any way. Every one of our great-grandparents has passed this next message along to our grandparents, who in turn shared it with our parents, and our parents then revealed the secret to us, and now it is our turn to solve the mystery for our children, family, and friends. It is really not a very well-kept secret, and it is actually rather quite simple in nature, not even worthy of the extended hype and drawn-out verbose buildup I am giving it in this column. The message is this, “Tough questions, and any question for that matter, deserve our direct and honest response.” Whew … there, I said it, and now it’s over. So obvious, so simple, but yet so unpracticed. You see, common sense is not always common practice, right? And how often have each one of us delayed a call, a meeting, responding to a question or an email just because we absolutely dreaded how the other person might react. Can I
Mom was good practice for difficult dealings My mother. There you go. That right there might be a good reason to move on to another column. Most of us have had troublesome moments with our mothers. They become a source of revenue for psychotherapists everywhere. That’s me. My sister and I left a spoonful of her ashes under a bare tree next to a lovely creek on a bitter cold and rainy morning in Ann Arbor, Mich., in 2008. A few hours later, we left a spoonful of our father’s ashes in Michigan Stadium after the Michigan-Michigan State football game. For mom, we played Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata,” her favorite. For Dad, we played the Michigan fight song. “The Victors” was his favorite. My mother was impossible — and I think it started the day she was born. She was handed from relative to relative in Illinois, and ended up in Michigan. I don’t know how she got there.
She rarely talked about her life, ages 1-15. She met my father at a corn roast when she was 15. That was in 1934. They were together for the next 74 years. As she got older, my mother became more and more eccentric. This is all you need to know: They lived in a ranch-style home, and she owned five vacuum cleaners. One Christmas morning, my sister, my mother and I all vacuumed the same Marshall continues on Page 9
repeat that? … “Might react.” I do not write this column as if I have never done this myself. Sure I have, and so have all of you at some time or other. And just like all of you who have learned the lesson, regardless of how long it took us to learn the lesson, it becomes easier and so much less stressful with each experience that we finally learn to just do it in every conversation and with every tough question. The reaction we expect is never as bad as we imagine it between our own ears. It just never is. Now, we do have to remember also that it is not what we say, but how we say it that matters. There is no direct response to a tough question that calls for our own lack of compassion and understanding. Think of the best bedside manner of the most compassionate physician you have ever met, or maybe have even just seen on television, and imagining answering the questions in the same loving, caring, and understanding way possible. So … tough questions? The answer is really very simple, isn’t it? How about you? Can you benefit from practicing and learning from the experience of responding with honest and direct answers? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and I can assure you that when you practice this approach it really will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Udall causes hardships for Coloradans
Several things have hurt Coloradans the past couple years, one being that 250,000 people had their medical insurance policies cancelled a year ago. As reported by the Huffington Post, some of these policies were cancelled because they did not comply with Obamacare, even though people liked them and were willing to pay for them. Next, we’ve seen medical insurance premiums and medical costs go up and in some cases dramatically. This, of course, is the exact opposite of what Obama said when he claimed that Obamacare would lower every family’s health costs by $2,500 a year. I have yet to meet anyone in Colorado whose health care expenses have gone down. Thirdly, many people are struggling to find meaningful employment. As a charity worker in the inner city, I note many black youth who are unemployed. This jibes with national statistics that show 40 percent unemployment among young black men. One reason for this is that many small businesses, in Colorado and nationwide, refuse to employ more than 49 workers because of the enormous costs Letter continues on Page 9

Take steps to prepare for old age There is only one thing worse than talking about dying and that is getting old and sick. Most of us are in denial that anything bad will ever happen to us. It seems easy to put off things that are not going to happen for a very long time, such as estate planning or elder care planning. Ironically, it is going to be easier and cheaper to plan now while you are thinking clearly for a time when you may not be able to make these decisions. So now that summer is over and the holidays are months away, this is a good time to start mapping out what you would like to see happen with your care. Here is a checklist of items to work on to better plan for an optimum future: Review and update your estate plan. Make sure your wills, powers of attorney and health-care agents are current. Consider if you and your spouse travel together or are of ill health, to have contingent names listed as well. Imagine yourself in your 70s, 80s and 90s. Where will you live and who will
be available to assist you? Make plans accordingly, such as downsizing your house or making arrangements to move closer to your children. Identify what resources and goals you have. Do you have assets and income to support your lifestyle that may include paying for assistance from outside the family? Be careful to reserve some savings for the future. Include your grown children or other relatives who could be responsible for you one day in your decisions. Make sure someone is aware of your financial holdings and what your wishes are so
they can make good decisions on your behalf. Complete a “five wishes” (agingwithdignity.org/legal_Colorado.php) to make certain others know how you wish to be cared for if you are sick or unable to communicate. Be aware that average inflation factors published by the government or covered in your financial plan will not likely include the higher inflation costs of health care and elder care. Make sure you have assets or insurance to help offset these potential costs. Clean up financial affairs, such as updating primary and contingent beneficiaries on all assets. Consolidate old 401(k)s and pre-tax IRAs so you can clearly see what you have and where the required minimum distribution (RMD) needs to come from. Combine other assets titled the same way such as combining various mutual funds, stocks and bonds into a brokerage account to make it easy to manage or to settle as an estate.

Not dead, just beyond the capability of a heartto-heart conversation. I don’t miss her. I don’t miss her because she never goes away. I think about her every day. I try to think about something good, but she became so difficult to be around that it is nearly impossible. She would say whatever she was thinking whenever she was thinking it, and without a speck of concern about the damages or consequences it caused.

My mother wasn’t reflective before or after she said something. She could say something that would disturb the hell out of me, and before I could react or reply she would do it again. And again. I have tried to explain her to myself. Why me? Why didn’t I have a mother who was more like my father? Well, I didn’t. I decided that I benefited from both of them, just very differently. My mother showed me that there are some very challenging people in life, and that I have to figure out how to co-exist with them. I think she helped me to get through 26 years of teaching at a local college. I had some students, actually hundreds of them, who were just about as much of a problem

What an embarrassment for Colorado. It’s time for Udall to go. In past emails, he has trumpeted promoting a song contest and encouraging people to make ornaments. Let’s hope Colorado voters give him the opportunity to do that full time. Charles Newton Highlands Ranch

Big Bill’s raises $100,000 in Sept. 11 fundraiser Standing-room only crowd flocks to Centennial pizzeria By Jane Reuter
jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Customers who visited Big Bill’s New York Pizza on Sept. 11 donated more than $100,000 on the annual fundraising day. The Centennial pizza shop hosts the annual “9/11 Day of Giving,” which draws standing-room-only crowds. Restaurant owner Bill Ficke distributes money raised each Sept. 11 through the Joann B. Ficke Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit he and his son Dan founded in memory of Bill’s wife Joann, who died in 2009. About 25 volunteers helped the regular staff serve the crowds who came to dine and donate. “It’s what he does for his wife,” Littleton’s Terri Peterson said of her reason for coming to Big Bill’s on Sept. 11. “I’ve been coming here the last seven years.” “This day hits us pretty hard,” Mike Peterson said of Sept. 11. Highlands Ranch residents Bruce and Cathy Hirsch are regulars at Big Bill’s.
“We’ve been coming to Bill’s a long time, but this is the first time we came on 9/11,” Bruce said. “We just really like what Bill does to remember. It’s pretty amazing.” The restaurant made about 1,100 pizzas that Thursday — about three times the number it would make on a typical busy Friday. Employees and volunteers also made countless plates of pasta, salad and other food. Ficke said the 2014 total was particularly impressive considering the cool, gloomy weather of Sept. 11. “We raised $100,000, despite the weather,” he said. “And it’s all because of the fantastic and generous customers and people that come in and donate to honor all those who died that day and to help the people of Colorado.” In 2013, Ficke distributed money to the Bone Marrow Transplant Patient Assistance Fund, Rocky Mountain Cancer Assistance, Cancer League of Colorado, Children’s Hospital Foundation and Colorado Ovarian Cancer Association. A former assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets and longtime owner of Fleet Feet shoe store, Ficke opened Big Bill’s New York Pizza in 1995.
Pancakes, a parade, music, vendors and a dance are among this year’s Sheridan Celebrates activities and events planned on Sept. 27. “Sheridan Celebrates is one of the best events for residents and visitors,” said Dallas Hall, Sheridan mayor. “We usually have a pretty good turnout of the people from our community as well as people from other communities who come for the activities and events. I think the celebration helps bring awareness to our city. I think it promotes pride in who we are and what we have here in Sheridan.” He added this year’s event has the usual attractions like the parade and the vendors. But organizers have added attractions like booking Chris Daniels and the Kings to be the featured band. “Chris Daniels and his group are well known and usually draw pretty big crowds,” the mayor said. “The fact Chris Daniels and the Kings are the featured entertainment at Sheridan Celebrates is a plus for us and I expect it will attract even more people to our event.” He said another addition this year is the evening dinner dance at Verle Huffman Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9644. “There are a Mexican dinner and a dance to the evening of Sheridan Cel-

The pancake breakfast is a benefit and all proceeds going to school district organizations. As the pancake breakfast is wrapping up, festivities shift to the parade. This year’s parade marks the 25th anniversary of Sheridan Celebrates with a theme of “Sheridan Celebrates the Silver Screen.” Former Mayor Roger Rowland is parade grand marshal. Rowland spearheaded the creation of Sheridan Celebrates in 1990. The parade assembles near the intersection of South Lowell Boulevard and West Princeton Avenue. The parade begins at 10 a.m. and will wrap up at Sheridan High School. When the parade finishes, the focus shifts to the area around the city hall lawn, where the event midway will be set up with vendors, inflatables and food trucks. The main stage is in the same area where recording artists Chris Daniels and the Kings will help Sheridan celebrate the day as they will perform from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. The festivities, music and activities on the city hall lawn wrap up about 3 p.m., but the organizers of Sheridan Celebrates invites everyone to visit the Verle Huffman Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9644 at 2680 W.

Lawmakers react to Obama’s ISIS speech Udall digs in heels about requirement for congressional approval By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s congressional delegation offered various responses to President Obama’s prime time address on Sept. 10, where he laid out a plan to defeat Islamic terrorists. It’s an issue that had already been playing out in the state’s U.S. Senate race, on the heels of comments made by Democratic Sen. Mark Udall during a recent debate. Obama told the nation that the U.S. will expand its air campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), a militant organization that has taken over large swaths of northern and western Iraq and has also been responsible for numerous brutal killings. The president said the U.S. will up its bombing effort in Syria as part of a “relentless effort” to take out the terrorist group. The president said the U.S. will not be alone in working toward dismantling the group and that the effort will be born of a “broad coalition” to defeat the terrorists.
“Our objective is clear,” said Obama. “We will degrade and ultimately destroy (ISIS) through a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy.” As expected, Colorado’s congressional delegation offered various viewpoints on the president’s address. The most interesting of those came from Udall. Udall distanced himself from Obama by saying the president must first receive approval from Congress to act on his proposed military actions. “The American people must be assured that we are not pursuing another open-ended conflict in the Middle East, and I will not give this president — or any other president — a blank check to begin another land war in Iraq,” Udall said in an emailed statement. Udall - who is a member of the Senate’s Armed Services and Intelligence Committees - continued by saying that he would “demand that the administration provide a very clear picture of its goals and objectives.” Obama did say during his address that his military strategy will not include any American troops being deployed on the ground to fight the group. Udall’s signal of caution to the Obama administration is a nod to a public that demands action against the militant group, but is also war-weary.
The senator’s message to Obama is also part of a continuing balancing act that Democrats nationwide have struggled to find in responding to a president with low approval ratings. Udall’s opponent this November, Republican U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, said he supports Obama’s plan for increased airstrikes, but did not express much confidence in the commander in chief. “The president’s mishandling of our nation’s foreign policy and his failure to formulate a clear strategic vision to confront these threats has led us to the tragic series of events unfolding across the Middle East and the world,” Gardner said through an emailed statement. The ISIS issue surfaced in the Senate race earlier in week, following a comment made by Udall during a Sept. 6 debate in Grand Junction. Udall ended up apologizing for saying during the debate that two U.S. journalists who were beheaded by ISIS members would agree that the U.S. shouldn’t be “impulsive” in dealing with ISIS. Journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff were recently executed, and the militant group has promised there would be more killings if the U.S. did not halt its targeted airstrikes against the group. “Steve Sotloff and James Foley would tell us, `Don’t be impulsive,’” Udall said during the debate. “Horrible and barba-
rous as those executions were, don’t be impulsive, come up with a plan to knock (ISIS) back.’” Udall apologized two days later for invoking the journalists’ names. And — although Gardner said nothing to Udall about his comments during the debate — he blasted Udall’s remarks, after Udall had issued his apology. Obama’s speech received different reactions from two congressmen who are also seeking re-election this year. Democratic U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, who is running for a fifth term representing the 7th Congressional District, voiced support for the president’s ISIS response. Perlmutter, who is running against Republican Don Ytterberg this fall, said Obama’s response was “strong and direct.” Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman is in a tough re-election battle with former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff in Colorado’s 6th Congressional District. The realities of Coffman’s diverse district — which was recently redrawn — has forced him to come across as a moderate in key areas of policy, as indicated by his response to Obama’s speech. “President Bush did too much, getting us involved in a costly and unnecessary occupation, but President Obama has done too little to take the fight to those who seek to do us harm,” Coffman said.

Rivals differ on battle over gay marriage Coffman, Quick seek post of state attorney general By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Both Cynthia Coffman and Don Quick say their positions on how to handle gaymarriage court battles are in the best interest of same-sex couples who are seeking nuptials. The two candidates for attorney general discussed gay marriage and other topics during recent, separate sit-down interviews with Colorado Community Media. Coffman, a Republican deputy attorney general, and Quick, a Democrat and former Adams County district attorney, are locked in a key downQuick ticket race. Coffman, who is married to U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, touts her experience in state government and knowledge of office operations as reasons for voters to support her candidacy. For his part, Quick, a Wheat Ridge native, boasts of his record as Adams County DA, including his prosecution of government corruption among officials there. The race is one of the most closely watched attorney general’s races in the country, with millions of campaign dollars having come in from outside donors. But, all of that aside, the race could come down to gay marriage. “There is no constitutional defense for treating gay and lesbian couples differently,” Quick said. “There are no second-class citizens.” But Coffman said Quick’s personal feelings about gay marriage have nothing to do with the role the attorney general plays in this issue. “I have a personal opinion about the issue, which I’m not going to share because to me, my personal opinion doesn’t matter,” she said. Current Attorney General John Suthers, a Republican who is termlimited, has defended the state’s 2006 gay marriage ban in court battles that reached new heights over the summer. In June, the 10th Circuit Court of Ap-
peals — which has jurisdiction over Colorado cases — ruled Utah’s gay marriage ban to be unconstitutional. However, the court stayed its decision, knowing that the case would ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. The court’s stay didn’t stop the county clerk in Boulder from issuing same-sex marriage licenses. Shortly thereafter, a state district court judge in Adams County ruled in a separate case that Colorado’s gay marriage ban is also unconstitutional. That judge also issued a stay in the decision. Despite calls from gay lawmakers and Gov. John Hickenlooper not to appeal the Adams County ruling, Suthers has taken the case to the Colorado Supreme Court. And, along the way, Suthers has waged a court battle with the Boulder County Clerk’s Office in an effort to stop it from issuing more same-sex marriage licenses. Most recently, Suthers Coffman led a group of 17 attorneys general asking the Supreme Court to take up arguments on same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma.
Suthers’ approach scrutinized Critics have said Suthers is delaying the inevitability of gay marriage. But Coffman believes her boss is doing the right thing — and that she would follow his path on his handling of this issue. Coffman said Suthers’ recent filing with the Supreme Court will end up fasttracking the case toward a quicker resolution. When asked if one could make the argument that Suthers’ handling of the case is actually in the best interest of gay couples, because it could get the issue to the Supreme Court more quickly, Coffman said, “Yes, absolutely. I believe that.” But Quick doesn’t see how continuing to fight against gay marriage in court is helping same-sex couples realize their dreams of marriage equality. “I think for a large segment of society, not just gay and lesbian couples, but for people who have family members that are gay and lesbian couples,” it means they have to wait even longer, he said. Quick dismisses arguments against gay marriage that have nothing to do with the Constitution, especially those

that cite procreation as a reason to prevent gays from getting married. “John Suthers hasn’t procreated in 30 years and I haven’t in over 20 years, but somehow I think our wives both think our marriages have value and they’re important,” Quick said. But Coffman said that perhaps Quick doesn’t understand that the role of the Attorney General’s Office is to defend the state’s laws, regardless of whether he likes them. “(U.S. Attorney General) Eric Holder has been the poster child of picking and choosing what laws to defend,” she said. “I think he has violated his oath to defend the Constitution of the United States by picking and choosing. And to me, what Don is suggesting is the same thing: `I’m going to decide what is constitutional or not.’” Coffman said Quick forgets that Suthers took heat from conservative groups when his office filed a discrimination complaint against a Lakewood baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. Suthers’ office also defended the state’s recent Democrat-sponsored gun-
control laws in a court battle this year. Quick has also been critical of Suthers for joining several other attorneys general in opposing the Affordable Care Act’s birth-control mandate — the “Hobby Lobby” case that succeeded at the Supreme Court. Quick said he “strongly believes that a woman should make her health care decisions.” But Coffman finds those arguments offensive. “We have birth control available to women, abortion is available, and to consistently try to be deceptive and inflame women on those issues, I just think it’s politics. It’s irresponsible,” Coffman said. But Quick thinks that Coffman is the one who doesn’t have a grip on what the job of attorney general is all about. He believes that an attorney general has a duty to challenge a law if he or she “has grave doubts about constitutionality of the law.” “I’ll defend laws whether I agree or disagree, but if there is an intentional targeting of a group denying them a fundamental right, then I will not defend that law,” he said.

This is Marie-Christine Liekens’ second journey to America from her homeland of Belgium, and she’s glad it has so far been much less exciting than the first. “Some 13 firefighters from Belgium headed for Delray Beach to celebrate an Irish holiday this weekend were waylaid by a heart-thumping plane wreck in Philadelphia Thursday night,” wrote The Palm Beach Post on March 14. “No one was seriously injured when at 6:25 p.m. the US Airways flight 1720 to Fort Lauderdale faltered and then thudded to the ground as the nose gear collapsed on an aborted take-off.” Liekens was one of the 13 Belgians aboard, an EMT traveling with the Belgian Fireobservers. “We were in the scene instead of going to the scene,” said Liekens, adding that her group was later celebrated in the holiday parade and was even awarded the key to the city. The Belgian Fireobservers promote the international brotherhood that first responders share, and Liekens and nine of her colleagues celebrated it with members of the South Metro Fire Authority the week of Sept. 8. “The brotherhood of firefighters is something that is very strong all over the world,” said Battalion Chief Paul Vanlook, a cofounder of the Fireobservers. “And it’s an opportunity to come here and learn and observe what is the same and what is different.” One thing that’s different, he notes, is the enthusiasm American firefighters have for food. “We were really amazed at what was going on in the kitchen,” said Vanlook. “If they lose their jobs as firefighters, they could easily get
jobs at a good class restaurant.” There’s no such thing as doggie bags in Belgium, he said, because portions are traditionally smaller. Likely because food has to stretch further — Colorado has half of Belgium’s population in about 10 times the space. “If I climb the hose tower, up 75 feet, I can see the other eight stations around me,” said Vanlook. The group visited Pikes Peak and participated in the 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb at Red Rocks while they were here. “We are impressed by the beauty of Colorado,” said Vanlook. And speaking of 911, which is also the universal emergency phone number in the United States, it’s another difference between the two countries. In Europe, it’s 112. But a littleknown fact, said Vanlook, is that both numbers work in both places, simply directing callers to the dispatch center closest to them based on the phone’s signal. The equipment they use is mostly the same, though Leikens said she found a few new items she’d like to add to her routines. The biggest difference is that American fire trucks are wider, due to the older and narrower European streets. The trip wasn’t strictly for a ride-along with SMFA. The second week was a sightseeing drive to Las Vegas, with stops along the way to trade patches with whatever fire stations they come across. Vanlook hopes the Belgian Fireobservers can leave behind at least as many lessons as they take away from America. For instance, who knew the word “Yankees” derives from the many Belgians who settled in the north, many of whom were named Jan (pronounced “Yon”) and Kees? “Firefighters everywhere are motivated and proud of serving their community,” he said. “They have a lot of motivation, and when they get to a scene, there’s a lot of camaraderie. … But here, maybe they need somebody from somewhere else to tell them how good they have it.”

Chris Perry grew up working in his father’s Houston butcher shop, which “Butcher Bob” Perry opened in 1979. The establishment specialized in quality beef and customer service, concepts Chris — now CEO of Perry’s Restaurants — still incorporates in the business today. Chris and Bob Perry expanded the shop in 1986, adding a deli with a concrete floor and metal-topped tables. Even then, Chris said, “The goal was always to get finer dining.” Its 11th restaurant, opening Sept. 22 at Park Meadows shopping center, shows that goal has been met. The concrete floors have given way to brown carpet patterned with light brown swirls. Tables are topped with brown tablecloths, candles, wine glasses and cloth napkins. The leather chairs that encircle the tables were selected for comfort, with the intent of encouraging diners to linger. The Perry’s of today is not a butcher shop deli, but an upscale eatery with its own, limited quantity Perry’s wines, temperature-controlled wine lockers and signature entrees, sides and desserts. Perry’s debuts in a new structure in The Vistas shops on the mall’s west side. It helps fill a demand for upscale dining that Lone Tree residents expressed during the 2012 city survey. Perry’s food earned 26 out of 30 points from Zagat, which lists the average meal as $55. Based on Perry’s site selection criteria,
it would appear to be a match made in heaven. “We are typically in the suburbs,” Perry’s beverage director Susi Zivanovic said. “We like to bring nice, beautiful restaurants to these areas because people in the suburbs typically don’t have that opportunity.” The Park Meadows site is Perry’s first in Colorado, and only its second outside of Texas. The other non-Texas location is Chicago. “We have an affection for Colorado,” Perry’s spokeswoman Lesa Sorrentino said. “We’ve been looking at Colorado for about five years; Denver was on a very short list.” Perry’s plans to introduced south metro area diners not only to its chateaubriand, tuna tartar, fried asparagus, sea bass and grilled lobster, but to the dish for which it’s most famous: the sevenfinger pork chop. Slow-cooked with a mix of seasonings known only to Chris Perry and perfected over five years, it measures seven horizontal fingers tall. A smaller, five-finger version is offered for $12.95 during lunch on Fridays — the only day Perry’s is open for lunch. The Perry’s chain typically serves about 4,000 pork chops every Friday. “Our pork chop has kind of a cult following,” Sorrentino said. Perry’s Nutty D’Angelo has its own cult following among those with sweet tooths. Made with crushed pecans flambéed with brown sugar and brandy, it is served over vanilla ice cream that is dipped in white chocolate, and then sprinkled with almonds. The flaming dessert is made tableside.

Umbria travelers share artworks Students learn, create during trip to Italy
Fort Collins ranks for retirees
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Two years ago, painter/Arapahoe Community College faculty member Marsha Wooley had the opportunity to spend two weeks painting at La Romita in Umbria, on a hillside above the town of Terni, in central Italy. She was so enthusiastic about the experience that, as a longtime teacher, she wanted to share the experience with students, leading them to the pleasure of painting the surrounding scenery en plein air — out of doors. She talked with colleague/ACC photography instructor Trish Sangelo and they put together a plan: two weeks at La Romita for students who wanted to paint or photograph the striking surroundings. “The countryside is filled with intense colors and patterns that create a beautiful tapestry,” Sangelo wrote. “Each town is unique and is filled with history that never seems to change.” Thirteen students signed up to travel with them and are sharing the experience by exhibiting artworks in “Umbria, A Sense of Place” at the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at ACC through Oct. 16. The La Romita School of Art, housed in a 16th-century Capuchin monastery surrounded by olive trees, provides room and board, transportation to surrounding hill towns, studio space for on-site instruction — plus that special Italian light and beauty wherever one looks. It offers art classes through the year, taught by a variety of instructors. The exhibit is a mix of paintings and photographs that illustrate the particular vision of 13 students and
I was raised by a theater-addicted mother, who instilled in me a lifelong love of stage performances. And although I spent a large part of the ‘70s seeing musical and non-musical Broadway blockbusters, somehow my repertoire didn’t include “Pippin,” the 1972 Bob Fosse-directed Tony Award winner, which made Ben Vereen famous. I filled that missing slot Sept. 10 during the Denver launch of the national tour of the 2013 revival version of “Pippin,” playing at the Buell Theatre through Sept. 20. My theater pal Bradley Joseph and I experienced a good old-fashioned spectacular romp into a classic musical event that’s been enhanced by the addition of a circus setting complete with trapeze artists, contortionists and aerial performers. Throw in performances by Lucie Arnaz (daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz), John Rubenstein (the original Pippin character on Broadway who now plays the king) and Matthew James Thomas, the 2013 Tony Award-winning Pippin character, and you have an out-of-thisworld experience. Arnaz, who plays Pippin’s grandmother, gets her sexy on by showing off her 6o-plus bod in a bustier while hanging from a trapeze. Who knew? “I didn’t know how I could do that until five weeks ago,” which is when she joined the cast, Arnaz told us during the boffo after-play reception under the big top in the Seawell Ballroom. For an evening of throwback theatrical fun, don’t miss “Pippin.” Tickets at denvercenter.org.

Techniques vary from skilled to less experienced, but all portray a warm enthusiasm for one arresting spot after another. Visiting means a mini-trip. Painting students learned about the particular demands of painting outdoors and photographers learned creative methods associated with documenting the Italian landscape, cityscape and people. A welcome addition is the inclusion of written statements from some of the group. We hope the visitor will allow time to read them. Artists, of course, treasure the opportunity to record with paint or camera: “stone remnants of cultures long gone: Umbrian, Etruscan, Roman, Byzantine, Renaissance and local Duchy

And several write of the lasting friendships they had formed with fellow artists. “The Art in Italy class allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. I was able to prove to myself that I could travel to a foreign country without family and focus on myself and my photography,” wrote Molly McMillan.
Kiplinger, the venerable magazine covering personal finance advice and business, has accrued a top 10 ranking of best college towns for retirement, and Fort Collins is included in that lofty list. When you retire to a college town, Kiplinger says that you can recreate “the horizon-broadening experience and sense of adventure” that you had when you first entered those hallowed halls of higher learning. “In these 10 towns, a university generates intellectual and cultural sizzle for local residents and opens the door for retirees to take free or low-cost classes. College sports unite the entire community (and sometimes impel retired alums to move back). On-campus attractions, such as concerts, lecture series and games, are open to all comers, not just undergraduates. “College life isn’t the only reason these towns are great places to retire. Most are in states that are tax-friendly to retirees. Most have home prices close to the national median (some far below), active restaurant scenes, and access to good health care.” Fort Collins was included because of the proximity to Colorado State University, population of 152,061 and median home price of $280,000.

Bonanno burned in ‘burbs
I caught up with chef/restaurateur Frank Bonanno at Denver Food & Wine recently, and asked him about the closing of Bonanno Brothers Pizza at the Vistas at Park Meadows, the only suburban attempt the successful restaurant owner has tried. “Never again,” he told me. It was the first time he had partnered with an investor on an eatery, and when the investor wasn’t realizing the return on investment he expected, he opted to shutter the place. There are no hard feelings, Bonanno said, who added that Park Meadows mall execs could not have been more accommodating in his quest to vacate the lease and the premises. So Bonanno got burned in the ‘burbs, but Parker continues on Page 16

Winning artist’s work displayed in Littleton Fort Collins resident has draftsman background By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “I missed the class where they taught that a frame should go on the outside of a painting,” says Fort Collins artist Eldon Ward in the statement with his current exhibit. “I paint with acrylic, wood stain and occasionally, other water-based media on panels fabricated from salvaged hollow-core doors and other `up-cycled’ building materials.” As Best of Show winner in the 2013 Own an Original Exhibit, sponsored by the Littleton Fine Arts Board, Ward was invited to exhibit a selection of his work at the Littleton Museum from Sept. 19 to Oct. 26. This versatile man’s website tells a bit of history: He grew up in rural eastern Colorado in a sod house, attended Colorado State University and received a bachelor of fine arts degree in 1975. He also studied civil engineering and construction management and worked as an architectural draftsman, a freelance graphic artist, a designer, a planner for Fort Collins, and owner for 25 years of Cityscape Urban Design, as well as serving on civic organizations. In 2010, he returned to full-time artwork. His paintings will include a series of “flags as icons” and other compositions

that refer to the built, natural and abstract environments. “My artwork may have Pop, Precisionist and Abstract ingredients, but I’m not really concerned with any specific `style’ or most traditional studio techniques,” he wrote. His Best of Show award in Littleton was for a painting called “Winery Afternoon,” which pictured relaxed winery visitors seated in a grassy area near a winery building — tasting a sample on a sunny afternoon. Ward also had work accepted for the 2013 Lone Tree Art Exhibition and Sale and several shows in Fort Collins and Greeley.

Ending is where it begins Play by Silhouette outfit takes unusual approach By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com There is a shot and a Florida condo holds three bodies. What has happened? Playwright Craig Wright then takes the audience back to the beginning of his story, which appears at the John Hand Theater, presented by Silhouette Theatre Company. Director Paul Jacquith, artistic director of this new company, writes in his notes that he came across this play in a scene study class in Chicago in 2006 and recalled the deep “human component.” The story is set in Florida — in Sam’s apartment and in Sara and Steve’s next-door apartment. We see Sam working on his computer, trying to resolve problems, grumbling. There is a large bandage on his face. A somewhat naive and uneasy Steve (Joe Von Bokern) appears to tell his wife, Sara (Lisa Kraai), that he has been in touch with a Mr. Himmelman — or his representative — who will invest with him in a real estate deal: a string of Christian-themed hotels. (“Where would Jesus stay?”) She wants to pray before they even talk about it. About this time, elderly German Karl (Joey Wishnia) appears — he is an exterminator, hired by the landlord. He is drawn into discussion of religion with Steve, who questions him about his beliefs and gets a story about Nazi Germany,

Karl’s loss of family and his relationship with a young girl named Rachel. Karl’s wife is dying and he is not a believer. He calls Steve a “Jesus freak.” Next, the audience learns about unhappy neighbor Sam (Andy Anderson), who is recovering from a serious accident in which his fiancee lost her life. He is scarred on his face and his soul — grouchy and bitter — until a friendship develops with Sara. This is a thoughtful play — some parts worked better than others for me. The business dealings were just too simplistic, but the human feelings were believable. Expert actor Joey Wishnia is especially effective as he wanders in and out, revealing a story of his past. Anderson’s character, Sam, supposedly a computer whiz at NASA, but badly injured physically and psychologically, was not quite fully developed by the playwright. One tended to be impatient with Steve’s simplistic faith and Sara didn’t develop the depth she might have either — the playwright’s fault, I’d think. It’s good to see a new company tackle new material instead of depending on the tried and true. I commend them for it and will look forward to future Silhouette productions.

`Memphis’ sparkles on Arvada stage
“Memphis,” by Joe Di Pietro (“I Love You, You’re Perfect — Now Change”) and David Bryan, of Bon Jovi, takes the Arvada Center audience to colorful Beale Street in Memphis and on a musical journey with white DJ Huey Calhoun (appealing Jim Hogan) as he broadcasts the music blacks were playing and singing to increasingly wider white audiences. “Everybody wants to be black on Saturday night,” he declares. He wanders into an underground black club and meets and falls in love with black singer Felicia (a very strong Aisha Jackson), slowly wins over her ornery brother Delray (Keith Hatton) and gets her career started so she’s invited to New York. This production has a great live band, led by David Nehls, strong casting, and solid choreography by Kitty Skillman Hilsabeck, who has experienced dancers to work with. Huey has a southern mama, Gladys (Melissa Swift-Sawyer), who loudly disapproves of just about everything Huey does — until the point in Act II when she cycles into a gospel number that is a huge hit with the audience. The script is predictable, but the score is so joyous that one just rolls along with it. By later in Act II, most were clapping to the beat. The story, set in the 1950s, is inspired by actual events. Some say the fictional Huey is based on courageous broadcasters of the era, including Dewey Phillips of Memphis, who was the first to play a record by Elvis Presley, according to a New York Times story. “Memphis” won four 2010 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book and Best Original Score, and gives an audience lively

music they can carry home with them. Rod Lansberry’s direction is carefully balanced throughout, and the set, designed by Brian Mallgrave, is similar in structure to many other Arvada musicals, but works well for this large, fast-moving cast. The background image of Beale Street cycles through the day and night with changing lighting. Arvada Center has a winner here.

Arapahoe Community College kicked of its 50th anniversary celebrations with a blast from the past Sept. 9. Students lined up for free T-shirts to tie dye while ‘60s music kept them in the groove. Baby boomers and millennials alike got their groove on at Arapahoe Community College on Sept. 9, during the “Tie Dye Like it’s 1965” event on the south lawn of the Littleton campus. That’s the year ACC opened, and the college plans a celebration of its 50th anniversary with a host of events, activities, commemorative displays, promotions, contests and memorabilia giveaways throughout the 2014-15 academic year. ACC’s golden anniversary will culminate in May 2015 with the annual commencement ceremony and the ACC Foundation Gala.

Open-mic nights kick out the jams Metro area offers wide range of styles By Benjamin Kerns
Special to Colorado Community Media What’s better than an open-mic night on a weekday night? Nothing. That’s what. Check out these bars scattered around the Denver area where you can get a taste of up-andcoming acts while they’re still up-and-coming. • Ziggie’s Live Music 4923 W. 38th Ave., Denver 303-455-9930 Sundays: Blues Jam, 7 p.m. Mondays: Acoustic, 8 p.m. Wednesdays: Open Jam, 8:30 p.m. (or after poetry) Ziggie’s is celebrating 50 years of being the longest-running and best blues jam bar in the country, and you can hear why (or show off
your skills) every Sunday night. Blues aren’t your thing? That’s OK, because they’ve got open-mic acoustic jams on Mondays and Hump Day Jam on Wednesday, where you can groove to everything from rock to zydeco; there’s something for everyone here. • Local 46 4586 Tennyson St., Denver 720-524-3792 Mondays: 8 p.m. What used to be the Music Box has turned into a modern-day “Cheers.” When the owners of Local 46 created the new bar they decided to keep things local, with an eco-friendly twist, and have become a Berkeley hotspot. They host an open stage every Monday night, where you can hear anything from jazz to new-age pop while chatting up the friendly locals and staff or showing off your skills at cornhole. • Lincoln’s Roadhouse 1201 S. Pearl St., Denver 303-777-3700 Wednesdays: 9 p.m.
If you’re a fan of music without the autotune and bands that actually know how to play the guitar, Lincoln’s Roadhouse is right up your alley. The bar, located west of Washington Park, pulls in a large college crowd from the University of Denver, but there’s a great atmosphere for everyone here. They offer an entirely acoustic mix of music every Wednesday night. • Bushwacker’s Saloon 1967 S. Broadway, Denver, CO 80210 303-722-0280 Wednesdays: 8 p.m. Billed as “the place where grown-ups go to play,” Bushwacker’s Saloon definitely lives up to its reputation as a local dive bar. From the eclectic decorations to the uber-friendly staff and biker clientele, it’s hard not to have a rockin’ time here. Wednesday nights Bushwacker’s open the stage to local musicians to show off their skills in rock, metal and even blues. • DADA Art Bar 2470 Broadway, Unit 103, Denver
720-350-4716 Wednesdays: 7 p.m. DADA is a place for connoisseurs of fine art and music, alike. It probably doesn’t hurt if you’ve got the hipster vibe going for you, too. The laid-back and welcoming atmosphere is exemplified Wednesday nights, when they play host to a variety of open-mic performers, from live musicians to comedy shows and even burlesque. • Riffs 10151 W. 26th Ave., Wheat Ridge 720-550-6652 Thursdays: 8 p.m. The owner of Riffs also runs Jake’s Roadhouse in Arvada, so you know the food here is good. They also have 17 beers on tap for you to enjoy while you listen to open-mic blues jams on Thursday nights. Riffs is actually a rock-’n’-roll bar, so don’t be too surprised if you hear a little electric guitar slip in there, too.

School is link for three black stars Denver’s East High connects Grier, Cheadle, McDaniel By Reed Underwood Special to Colorado Community Media Denver will never be known as the film capital of the world, but one high school in the Mile High City has played a big role in the complicated history of AfricanAmericans on the silver screen. Three of black cinema’s greatest stars attended Denver East High School. Hattie McDaniel, most famous for her role as Mammy in “Gone With the Wind,” went to East in 1908. Pam Grier, who would go on to be a staple player of the blaxploitation genre, attended Denver’s oldest high school in the late 1960s. Don Cheadle, one of Hollywood’s most versatile and respected black actors, graduated from East in 1982. McDaniel’s family came to Denver’s Five Points neighborhood from Wichita, Kan. “The family struggled in Kansas and I think believed that they might find a better life in Denver,” says California State University-Santa Monica professor Jill Watts, author of “Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood.” In 1908, McDaniel won a school drama contest at Denver East, the same year she left school to perform in touring minstrel troupes. As a minstrel performer, McDaniel played a stereotyped image of a wise-cracking African-American woman, sometimes in blackface. This “Mammy” role followed her into nearly every film role she had, including her most famous as the O’Hara family maid in “Gone With the Wind,” for which she won a 1939 Oscar for Best Supporting Actress Oscar. McDaniel’s legacy is complicated by the way she expanded the reputation of African-American performers while reinforcing the stereotypes that limited their roles. Grier’s family came to Denver near the end of her father’s Air Force career. After competing in a couple of local beauty contests, Grier jumped at the chance to move to California to work in modeling and pursue acting. “What opportunities did I have in a state like Colo-
rado?” she writes in her 2010 autobiography “Foxy: My Life in Three Acts.” She got an acting contract with American International Pictures, and went on to star in movies like “Coffy” and “Foxy Brown.” Grier’s films are considered classics of the blaxploitation genre, which is known for fast-talking, hard-hitting black protagonists and urbancrime settings. But some members of the black community saw the films as engaging in the same sort of black stereotyping as the minstrelsy of McDaniel’s era. Pressure from groups like the NAACP led to the decline of the blaxploitation genre in the late 1970s. Grier had trouble finding meaty roles until 1997, when she starred in Quentin Tarantino’s “Jackie Brown.” She was also the inspiration behind the spoof character Foxxy Cleopatra in the third Austin Powers film, played by pop icon Beyonce. She now spends much of her time on a horse ranch, back in Colorado. Cheadle took drama classes at East High, but he also went west to Los Angeles to fulfill his dreams. He got his breakout role on the show “Picket Fences,” and has gone on to play a huge variety of roles, from a medical student on “ER” to a porn star in “Boogie Nights” to an explosives expert on a team of robbers in “Ocean’s Eleven.” Cheadle received a Best Actor nomination in 2005 for “Hotel Rwanda.” He is currently at work on his directorial debut, “Miles Ahead,” in which he will play jazz icon Miles Davis. Though it’s clear that the status of black actors has come a long way, there are still problems. “Many African-American artists have more freedom to create but are still restrained within commercial venues to fit the dominant society’s expectations,” says Watts. But with such a storied past, it’s a good bet that Denver’s East High and its future generations will continue to push that freedom forward.

Charles describes “Odysseo by Cavalia” as an “extravaganza” show, he may not be exaggerating. The show has 46 performing artists — riders, acrobats, aerialists, dancers and musicians — 64 horses of 11 different breeds, 350 costumes and 100 pairs of shows (artists may have up to seven different costume changes) and a high-definition computer graphic images that are shown on a cyclorama the size of three IMAX screens. “It’s a journey, people all over the world have been sucked into this journey and when the show is over they feel like they just come out of a fairy tale,” said Amanda Orlowki, a performance rider. “Odysseo” makes its premiere under the White Big Top at Pepsi Center in Denver Sept. 17 and runs through Sept. 28. The stage is made up of more than 10,000 tons of stones, dirt and sand, Charles said, “No one knows it’s there so it’s magical to see when we reveal it.” Charles and Orlowki agree that one of the biggest highlights of the show is the descending full-size carousel. “This is a very dynamic part of the show,” Charles said. The carousel has the most horses on stage at one time, which proves to be challenging, said Orlowki. “A lot of the horses are stallions and they can have very strong characters,” she said. “So timing is very important.” There are performances that include aerobatics done with the horses and white silk. “It’s pure horse power pulling the aerialists in the air,” Charles said. The breeds of horses include Appaloosa, Arabian, Canadian, Holsteiner, Lusitano, Oldenburg, Paint Horse, Quarter Horse, Spanish Purebred (P.R.E.), Warmblood and Lipizzan. All performers, including the horses, get a break between each city they tour. “The horses will go to a farm or range and graze for a couple weeks,” Charles said. “It’s important everyone gets

If the show seems similar to a Cirque du Soleil performance - there’s a reason. Normand Latourelle is the founder of Cavalia and was a co-founder of Cirque. Cavalia is an entertainment company and made its Denver debut a few years ago with a different show. “When Cavalia was in the city in 2010, we had one of our most successful runs ever,” Latourelle said. “Colorado audiences have a deep appreciation of the artistic spirit and a great connection with our unique art form. I’m sure `Odysseo’ will amaze and touch the hearts of many more Coloradans with this feel-good show.” Tickets for “Odysseo” are available at www.cavalia.net or 1-866-999-8111.

EXPERIENCE THE life of a World War II woman war worker, Rosie the Riveter, portrayed by historian Gail Beaton, from 2-3 p.m. Monday, Sept. 22, at Bemis Library, 6014 S. Datura St., Littleton. “Rosie the Riveter” was the name given to women who worked in war factories welding, making bullets, and doing a variety of jobs to support the war effort. Between 1941 and 1945, Colorado had its own “Rosies” working at the Remington Arms Factory in Denver and at the Denver Ordnance Plant, which produced as many as six million bullets a day for U.S. troops. “Gail Murphy,” played by Beaton, is a composite character drawn from the records and memories of these women war workers. Beaton is the author of “Colorado Women, A History,” and has performed as Rosie throughout Colorado. Call the library at 303-795-3961.

Annual craft fair is shoppers’ cornucopia Littleton event will be held at Ketring Park
IF YOU GO The 43rd annual Friends of the Library/Museum Craft Fair will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 4 at Ketring Park, in the 6000 block of South Gallup Street, Littleton, just north of the Littleton Museum. Admission is free. (Strollers are discouraged.) Information: 303-795-3950.
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com In the early 1960s, the Littleton Museum’s first director, Bob McQuarrie, had an idea for a Friends of the Library/Museum event. How about staging an arts and crafts fair — inviting local artists and crafters to show and sell their work for a day? Like an old-fashioned community market. A date was set for early November — McQuarrie consulted the Old Farmer’s Almanac regarding the projected weather, as he continued to do each year of his life. The date was appropriate for holiday shopping — and a huge tent was set up on the Littleton Museum grounds. The tent filled with less than 100 vendors — all of whom were chilled when the weather turned quite cold — but a festive spirit countered the frigid day. And customers flocked to that tent. Perhaps one or two more years of fairs were held in November, and then planners switched the event to the first Saturday in October, skipped the tent and had vendors bring their own small tents — or just set up a booth on the grass in Ketring Park. On Oct. 4, the 43rd annual Friends of the Library/Museum Craft Fair will be open at Ketring Park from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The number of vendors has grown to 300 annually, including some from out of state. Prospective shoppers start circling
before the 9 a .m. opening time and cars are parked for blocks in every direction through the busy day. Many vendors say this is the best show of the year for them. Crafters come from throughout the metro area, across Colorado and, in a few cases, from other states. Many live in the south suburban area, including the Hofelder family, whose Cliff House Alpacas is housed on a ranch outside Castle Rock. Jan, Gordo, Kirstin and Geri are involved in raising the animals as well as making clothing, blankets, jewelry, woven items and handspun alpaca yarn, which they will offer to craft-fair customers. From Franktown, a new vendor, Chanyn Bird, will bring creations from his Finewood Transformations business, including turned pieces, cutting boards, board games and lazy susans. Sue Kelley of Centennial will bring stained-glass objects and Susan Mikkelson of Littleton creates functional pottery. Sue Turner of Aunt Sue’s Garden makes her art with pressed flowers: framed pictures, bookmarks, journals and more. Turner also creates small statues for the garden. She lives in south Jefferson County. Martha Tennison of Littleton will offer original watercolors and wood birdhous-
About 350 vendors will show and sell their art at the Oct. 4 Friends of the Littleton Library and Museum Craft Fair. Photo courtesy of the Littleton Museum es, and Jane Watkins of Watkins Stained Glass in Englewood will have a new edition of her Main Street Miniatures holiday ornaments. If one accumulates several bulky items, they can be left with the Friends of the Library/Museum’s package-watch/information tent and have hands free to pick up and examine more goodies.
Service clubs will have a cluster of booths with food so shoppers can keep up their strength. Sherry Kling of the Littleton Museum staff, who handles the organizational details for this event, said there were still a few booth spaces open as of Sept. 10. Contact her at 303-795-3950. (All items must be handcrafted by crafter only.)

Heritage fifth in boys race Runners from 92 schools compete in 37th annual Liberty Bell Invitational By Tom Munds tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The pounding feet of approximately 3,000 runners from 92 schools created thunder in the neighborhoods around Heritage High School during the Sept. 12 Liberty Bell Invitational Cross Country meet. This is the 37th year Heritage has hosted the event. Sheri Rossing, one of the volunteer leaders, said Heritage enlisted the assistance of about 150 people to help put on the event. There were volunteers at the starting line helping get schools in the proper starting position, volunteers along the route to try to ensure spectators didn’t interfere with runners, and volunteers at the finish line of the 3.1 mile course to help make sure runners going to the check-out point were in the right order. Liberty Bell organizers divided teams into four divisions, based mainly on school size. There were separate races for boys and for girls in each division. In addition to varsity races, there were separate races for junior varsity boys and girls in each division. There were 22 teams, totaling 155 runners, that took part in the Division 2 varsity boys race, including Heritage and teams from ThunderRidge, Rock Canyon, Littleton and Highlands Ranch. In the Division 2 varsity girls race, featuring the same area schools, there were 21 schools and 145 runners. In Division 2, a school could enter seven runners with the points of the top five fin-
Jeremy Romero, right, heads into the home stretch as the leading runner for Heritage at the Sept. 12 Liberty Bell Invitational. Romero finished 18th in a field of 145 runners and his effort helped his team finish fifth out of 20 in the team standings for the Division 2 boys varsity race. Photo by Tom Munds ishers used to determine team score. A runner earned points according to the place he or she finished in the field. For example, the first runner earned one point and the 25th runner earned 25 points. The points of five runners are then added together to determine the team score. Cheyenne Mountain won the boys Division 2 race with 136 points. ThunderRidge
led the local schools, finishing fourth with 159 points. The first ThunderRidge runner across the finish line was Chandler Jenson, who finished 17th with a time of 16:14. Heritage took fifth in the boys division with 164 points as Jeremy Romero was the first Eagle to finish the race. Rock Canyon finished eighth with 193 points, Littleton was 14th with 344 points and Highlands
Ranch amassed 550 points to finish 20th. Mountain View won the Division 2 girls division team title with 103 points. ThunderRidge again led the local schools, finishing in sixth place with 184 points. Rock Canyon finished eighth, Highlands Ranch took ninth, Heritage placed 13th and Littleton finished 17 in the team standings.
Littleton blanks third straight opponent Lions move to 5-1 on pitch with 3-0 shutout of Thornton By Scott Stocker
Special to Colorado Community Media It certainly will be a memorable night for Littleton junior midfielder, Joe Director, as he scored the first goal for the Lions in their 3-0 soccer victory against homestanding Thornton Sept. 11 — a date that also happens to be Director’s birthday. Littleton, playing under a continuous, though not driving, rainfall, improved to 5-1 with the win against Thornton, as Ped-
ja Vajzovic’s Lions came through with their third consecutive shutout. They had previously defeated Prairie View, 9-0, and Hinkley, 4-0. Thornton dropped to 1-3-1 with the loss. “We just wanted to go out hard,” Director said as he wiped the rain from his head with a towel after the game. “It was just a great team effort by all of us and we just feel good. We just want to keep up the good work and I believe we can.” Sam Korff and Nolte Mehnert scored the second pair of goals in the second half for Littleton. Korff’s tally came with 37 minutes and 40 seconds left, while Mehnert closed out the scoring with 34:03 remain-
ing in the game. “Everyone just played hard tonight,” said Korff, a junior midfielder. “It was a great win despite this weather. It was important to go out and give our all. We were able to drive on their half of the field for much of the night and only allow them a few shots.” Mehnert, a senior midfielder, echoed the thoughts of his teammate. “Things are looking good for us this year,” Mehnert said. “We came out with only a short warm-up due to the weather. It was perhaps about five minutes. It’s not the weather you want to play in, but we came through despite the rain. Now, the key is to
keep it going.” That’s certainly how Vajzovic hopes the season will continue. “It was cold tonight, but I think both teams tried hard,” Vajzovic said. “We tried to press them on defense and we were certainly successful in that respect. I just wanted the boys to go out and play their hardest despite the weather. It was a wet night, that’s for sure. Now, we just want to keep the success going.” Littleton had opened the season with a 5-1 victory against Dakota Ridge then followed with a 2-1 win against Cherokee Trail. The Lions lone loss was 1-0 against Rampart.
SPORTS ROUNDUP Gridiron highlights Three of Colorado’s highly ranked football teams had tough tests this past weekend. Lutheran escaped with a win, but Valor Christian and Cherry Creek both lost. Lutheran, ranked No. 1 in the CHSAANow.com Class 3A rankings, saw a two-point conversion pass fall incomplete late in the game as the Lions held on for a 28-26 victory Sept. 12 over Platte Valley, the defending Class 2A state champions who came in to the game ranked No. 5. Lions quarterback James Willis was 8-of-18 for 118 yards and a touchdown while Jamil Bond ran for 74 yards and two scores. Valor Christian, the state’s top ranked Class 5A team, lost 22-7 on Sept. 12 to Chandler, Arizona’s No. 1 team. Jordan (Utah) rolled up 486 yards in total offense as it whipped No. 5 Cherry Creek, 38-14, in a game played Sept. 13 at the Stutler Bowl.
In other action, Heritage won its second straight contest to pull even at 2-2 with a 41-7 shellacking of Smoky Hill Sept. 11 at the Stutler Bowl. Littleton fell to 1-3 on the season, after falling 49-25 Sept. 12 at Greeley Central. And Arapahoe stayed winless at 0-3 after losing to unbeaten Grandview, 49-27 on Sept. 12 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. ThunderRidge collected its first win of the season on Sept. 11 with a 42-24 victory over Douglas County. Douglas County quarterback Rope Ruel ran for two touchdowns on the cold evening and Kyle Newsome paced the Huskies defense with seven solo tackles.
Softball scoreboard Castle View, Chaparral and Legend improved their Continental League records to 3-0 all by securing Sept. 12 victories. The Sabercats, who played Chaparral Sept. 17, edged sixth-ranked Douglas
County, 5-2, as Paige Joyce went 2-for-3 including a grand slam home run in the fifth inning. Castle View, ranked No. 8 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, is 8-1 overall. Savannah Heebner, who threw a perfect game for the Sabercats in a 14-0 win Sept. 10 against Highlands Ranch, has earned all eight of those victories. Chaparral (10-1) rolled to a 13-1 win over Highlands Ranch on Sept. 12 as Sara Breckbill was 2-for-2. Both her hits were solo home runs. No. 3 Legend (10-2) nipped ThunderRidge, 11-10, as Janelle Gardner, Brittney Russo and Kylie Hager each had two hits. Chelsea Sasaoka had two hits for ThunderRidge and collected five runs batted in thanks to a sixth inning grand slam home run.
Ponderosa tops Heritage in gymnastics Katie Steward won the all-around as Ponderosa defeated Heritage, 171.6162.4 in a gymnastics meet Sept. 10.
Steward and the Mustangs’ Mickey Warren tied for first on the vault, Steward won the beam and Ponderosa’s Jay Escamilla had the best score in floor exercise.
From the pitch Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon both improved their Continental League records to 2-0-0 with victories Sept. 11. Vista (3-1-2 overall) blanked Castle View, 3-0, while Rock Canyon (5-1-1) used a goal by Gabe Krsywdzinski to edge Highlands Ranch, 1-0. The Jaguars beat Smoky Hill, 2-0, Sept. 13 in a nonleague game as Cody Ross and Brain Olcott scored the goals. Also on the pitch, Ponderosa (3-10, 6-2-0) suffered its first league loss, dropping a 1-0 decision to Legend on freshman Peter Chang’s goal. ThunderRidge upset No. 5 Heritage, 2-0, as Kyle Henry and Ethan Anderson scored for the Grizzlies.

Elk activity peaks in September The days are growing shorter now, the nights a little cooler, and the aspen and underbrush are bursting into shades of red, yellow, orange and gold. There may even be a light dusting of snow in the high country. It’s September, and for a few short weeks, thousands of visitors are attracted to this magical time in Colorado. It is also the time of the annual elk rut or breeding season, where the strongest bulls compete for the right to pass superior genes along to the next generation. Bulls will gather cows into a harem which they must defend night and day from other bulls attempting to lure cows away. At times the action can be intense. The countryside rings with the sounds of bugling elk, a sound or shrill of several octaves that once heard is not soon forgotten.
The larger bulls will posture themselves and display their majestic racks in an effort to attract more cows and intimidate rivals. The action peaks when a couple of mega bulls lock their massive racks in combat. The fighting can go on for quite some time until one bull overpowers the other. While these battles are serious, they rarely end in death.
One of the most popular elk viewing areas is Rocky Mountain National Park. Within the national park, the Moraine Park and Horseshoe Park areas are favorites. It’s easy to spot the action — just watch traffic, often referred to as elk jams. The Town of Estes Park also provides some great viewing, especially around the golf course and visitor center. Early to mid-mornings and again mid-afternoons to dusk are usually the most active times, but then you never know when a testosterone-crazed bull will spring into action. For additional information, contact the Town of Estes Park Public Information Office at 970-577-3701. Tony Lane is an avid outdoorsman and wildlife photographer and the former police chief of Castle Rock.

Wildlife Experience gifted to CU University receives record property donation, valued at $40 million Staff report The University of Colorado announced Sept. 11 that it has received the largest real estate donation in the institution’s 138-year history. The Wildlife Experience facility in Douglas County, the site of the newly opened University of Colorado South Denver, has been given to the school by Dave and Gail Liniger and their family to allow CU to expand its new south metro presence. The property, established in 2002, is valued at $40 million. Dave Liniger, the chairman emeritus of The Wildlife Experience, is also the cofounder of REMAX International Inc. The Liniger gift builds on the collaboration that began in April when the Linigers teamed with CU, converting 11,000 square feet of the
151,000-square-foot facility to classroom and lab space. CU began offering classes there in August, while the popular Douglas County wildlife art and natural history museum continued most of its museum services to the community. CU Denver and the CU Anschutz Medical Campus are offering the first classes at the facility and CU Denver will manage the facility on behalf of the university as operations move forward. In recognition of the Linigers’ generosity, the CU Board of Regents today approved naming the facility the Liniger Building at the University of Colorado South Denver. “Dave and Gail Liniger have demonstrated a vision and commitment to serving our community and state that will have a substantial impact for decades to come,” said CU President Bruce D. Benson in a news release issued by the university. “We value the confidence they have in CU and appreciate their transformational gift. The Wildlife Experience has been a cultural touchstone in south Denver and adding higher education will build on its commitment to the community.”
The Wildlife Experience, in its 12th year, was designed to serve as a cultural and educational center and a community asset for south Denver. The facility hosts, and will continue to host, exhibits in fine art, natural history and interactive science each year, while providing space for private and community events, the release states. “Gail and I are making this gift to CU to provide more services and more value to our south Denver community,” Dave Liniger said. “The museum remains open, events will be held, and the public spaces will (still) be available for rental. The added value now is the easy access to a quality CU education right here in south Denver.” Some CU classes at the facility are underway and others are scheduled to begin in October. Among the offerings from CU Denver and the CU Anschutz Medical Campus are programs from the Business School, the School of Education and Human Development, the College of Engineering and Applied Science, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Nursing and the Colorado School of Public Health.

“The initial course offerings demonstrate the wide range of educational opportunities CU is bringing to south Denver,” said University of Colorado Denver-Anschutz Medical Campus Chancellor Don Elliman in the news release. “CU Denver is proud to be managing this initiative on behalf of the CU system, and we look forward to adding even more options for students with classes and faculty from the CU Boulder and Colorado Springs campuses.” Lisa Douglas, associate vice chancellor for budget and finance at the University of Colorado Denver-Anschutz Medical Campus, has been named vice chancellor of the new facility. “The University of Colorado’s four campuses (Boulder, Anschutz, Denver and Colorado Springs) will offer a generous supply of quality higher education to serve the residents of south Denver,” Douglas said. “The benefits of combining quality higher education with community service and events are compelling.” For more information on the initiative, please visit www.CUSouthDenver.org.
SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 15, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) It might not be wise to pursue goals involving others, unless you can stop impulsively rejecting new ideas. Either open your mind or wait until next week, when this “ornery” mood passes. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for the Bovine to be creative and practical for yourself and your surroundings. Shop wisely, not impulsively, and keep your Bull’s eye focused on quality, not quantity. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) You should feel more confident about moving ahead with plans that had to be delayed by an unexpected turn of events. Also, family matters might need more time than first anticipated.
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Be considerate of others as you move into a new area in your professional life. Take time to meet people and discuss mutual goals. The more you get to know each other, the better. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Creating a fuss could get your ideas noticed quickly. But it would be best to present your case, and then wait for a reaction to follow in due course, rather than try to force it to happen. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Unkept promises might cause plans to go awry this week. You can either grumble about people “letting you down” or find a way to make the best of it and move on. The choice is yours. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Putting off making a commitment early in the week could be a good move. Best to act when you know you’re making an informed decision. Expect more facts to emerge by the week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A recent act of kindness on your part could take on special meaning this week. Also, look for signs of upcoming changes in both your personal and professional relationships. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Many of the tougher communication barriers between you and others in the workplace or at home could begin breaking down this week. Expect some surprises to emerge. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your “tough love” attitude toward someone you care for could be misunderstood. Try to be less judgmental and show more consideration in the way you relate to that person. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) An unexpected workplace challenge could be daunting. But take what you know (and you know more than you realize) and apply it to the problem, and you should see positive results. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Recent relationship changes for both single and paired Pisces continue to influence much of your week. Keep your focus on developing the positive aspects as you move along. BORN THIS WEEK: You set your goals with assurance and influence others to follow suit. You would be an excellent philosopher and teacher. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
