District seeking to raise scores LPS goes from first in state to fifth for English-language learners By Jennifer Smith

on Main Street

Zombies prove once again they are a patient bunch, politely waiting in line at the Reinke Bros. parking lot for a lunch of barbecue pork, corn on the cob, rolls and more. The annual Zombie Crawl drew hundreds to downtown Littleton on Oct. 4.

POSTAL ADDRESS

Each year in Littleton, shortly after fall arrives, hundreds of zombies march along Littleton Boulevard, then onto Main Street and take over downtown Littleton. This year, the parade of the undead came on Oct. 4. It started at the Woodlawn Shopping Center and ended downtown at Reinke Bros. for a pig roast. The annual Zombie Crawl is sponsored by the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association. Greg Reinke, president of the merchants association and owner of Reinke Bros., said at least 500 zombies took part this year.

The growth and achievement scores for English-language learners in Littleton Public Schools fell from first to fifth in the state for the 2013-14 school year, according to data presented to the board of education on Sept. 25. “It doesn’t really matter what subgroup they’re in,” said Patti Turner, director of learning services. “If they haven’t caught up, that’s what’s important to us.” The district encourages families of English-language learners to send their kids to the five schools that are equipped with specialists: Centennial, East and Field elementaries; Goddard Middle School; and Littleton High School. Of those, Centennial and Field are over the median growth percentile of 60 on the TCAP, sitting at 65 and 69, respectively. The others are within seven points of reaching that benchmark. Deputy Superintendent Connie Bouwman says staff will be reaching out to betterperforming districts and consultants to get a fresh perspective on their approach to raising those scores. She also said the “co-teaching” strategy implemented last year is really working. Instead of taking kids out of regular class to spend time with a language specialist, the specialist stays in the regular classroom. “With our old pull-out model, students were spending lots of time in transition,” Andrea Scott, an English-language acquisition teacher at Field, said last October. “They were leaving during tier-one instruction, not finishing the tasks in the classroom and then coming back into the classroom as lost little lambs, trying to catch up with what they missed. Now instruction feels more seamless. Students are a part of the magic that happens in the classroom.” Bouwman said a particular focus going forward will be on encouraging the students to participate more in class, so they are “less fearful of speaking in front of their peers and sharing their thoughts, even though their language might not be all the way there.” The good news, said Turner, is that the district has maintained and at times even narrowed most of the achievement gaps that are evident across the nation, not just in LPS, despite rising poverty and changing demographics that make it more challenging. “Catching kids up is really important,” she said. “They’re not necessarily all proficient, but at least they’re showing growth.” Bouwman explained that interventions for any kid who needs them, not only Englishlanguage learners, always begin in the classroom, and that’s successful for as much as 85 percent of those kids. “We realized all students have to be exposed to grade-level material before they have any chance of being successful at grade-level assessments,” said Bouwman. “Before, we thought meeting them where they were was the right thing to do, rather than exposing them to more challenging material.” Another 10 percent to 15 percent will need help from a specialist or enhanced curriculum, and up to another 5 percent will need intensive intervention. “It might be different instruction, but it’s still the same standards,” said Bouwman.

October 9, 2014

Man hits road of life with hands off wheel The call for prayer from the nearby mosque woke him from a restless sleep about 4 that morning. He showered, dressed and checked his backpack. Water containers. Iodine tablets. Medical kit. Several notebooks and 24 pencils. Some Clif bars. One change of clothes. A credit card to be used only for emergencies. A palm-sized GPS tracker. Tent. Sleeping bag. Compass. No cell phone. He repacked, shut off the lights and knelt on the concrete floor. Let me be present, he prayed. Let me handle challenges with grace and humility. Then, Donovan DiLorenzo — an olive scarf wound around his head, a shadow of a beard on his face, Teva sandals on his feet — stepped from the hotel in Madaba, Jordan, his heart a mix of trepidation and hope, and began walking. “The first time you step out — that’s the scariest,” he said. “You’ve built up all these expectations … and you’re just not sure how they’re going to unfold.” Donovan’s Journey, as his family calls it, began Aug. 27, 2013. It unfolded step by step, without any sure plan. Donovan, then 42, trekked as pilgrims in days of old through Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt and India, letting the day’s encounters chart his path and depending on unexpected kindnesses for food, shelter and companionship. By the time he returned home in May, he had walked more than 1,100 miles. Back home in Highlands Ranch where he grew up, his parents had anxiously followed his path through intermittent signals from a GPS tracker. They thought he was searching for self-discovery. His younger sister later told him she thought his choice to travel without resources or a way to communicate with home was selfish because of the worry it caused those who loved him. Donovan thought doing so was the only real way to live fully in the moment — to see and feel and understand a profoundness of life uncluttered by distractions. He wasn’t really searching for something; he just wanted to see what would happen if life directed him rather than the other way around.

“It was a kind of shedding or surrendering …,” Donovan said. “It was just about letting go and seeing how life would unfold being a little more present.” His life had already detoured from the main road. The tragedy of 9/11 caused him to rethink his course: He left a lucrative job as an account executive in New York to teach in New Orleans’ most challenging urban school district. He later helped with reconstruction and outreach following Hurricane Katrina’s devastation. From there, he joined the Peace Corps, working in Africa in Malawi, one of the world’s least-developed countries. He returned to New Orleans and taught there until last summer, when he decided to abandon life as he knew it. He chose to walk most of his journey to have “more time to think, write and connect with others.” When Donovan refused to take a cell phone, his parents, Neil and Michelle, persuaded him to pack a small GPS tracker. “You’re not really communicating,” Neil told him. “At least, as long as the coordinates are moving, we’ll know you’re alive.” Donovan agreed. Every three days, he activated the device and Neil plotted latitude and longitude on maps to follow his route. Even so, Neil and Michelle slept only a few hours each night those first few weeks. “I am very nervous …,” Michelle said then. “That has been really, really hard, not knowing where he’s at.” Donovan, at times, wasn’t sure exactly where he was, either. The trails seemed confusing, the heat unbearable. In those moments, anxiety would begin to seep into his thoughts — “that feeling,” he wrote later, “when you are unsure about the road

ahead.” But then he would gather courage, bring himself back into the moment, summon a sense of peace. At the start, his feet bled. The backpack rubbed raw a spot on his back. Hunger became a frequent companion — he thought often of his mother’s pasta and meatballs. But fortune continually crossed his path in the form of curious children, interested villagers or, simply, a patch of shade under a tree. Strangers gave him freshly baked warm pita bread. They invited him to share tea around campfires and offered space in their homes to sleep. They shared stories that bound them across cultures and beliefs. “I was really taken aback at how hospitable people were and how people would open up their homes,” Donovan said. “There were those moments when you kind of step back and think, `Wow, that was truly amazing.’” In those instants, he said, God gave him wonder. He prayed in mosques, saw the Dead Sea, visited Cana and other places of the Holy Land, navigated military checkpoints between Palestine and Israel. He walked about 650 miles, according to Neil’s map calculations, before flying from the Red Sea to Cairo at the end of October. After two weeks in Egypt, he flew to Mumbai and walked another 500 or so miles, visiting ashrams where he learned to meditate, and Buddhist temples where he prayed, and, finally, homes in Calcutta run by Mother Teresa’s Sisters of Charity, where he volunteered for two months. He massaged lotion into the withered arms of old men, bathed sick patients, prayed over the dead then carried them to crematoriums. “In Calcutta, there are moments when you have incredible suffering,” Donovan said, “but somehow people find a way to be joyous.” There was the blind man who always sang. There were the children who laughed and played amid the squalor. And the special kinship shared with others who helped. “… a lot of suffering,” Donovan repeated. “But a lot of people giving of them-

selves.” From India, he traveled to Indonesia for a month. And then, life told Donovan it was time to return home to the much-missed embrace of family and friends. Near midnight on May 12, Neil and Michelle drove slowly into the arrival lane at DIA as a tall figure with a bushy beard and a backpack walked to the curb. “He had a scarf on,” Michelle said. But “I would know him anywhere.” At home, Donovan ate a big plate of pasta and meatballs, satiating the craving that hunger had instilled. He reveled in the warmth of family. “He’s very strong,” Michelle said, “but I’m just glad he’s home.” Neil agreed. “We don’t have to worry.” They listened to their son’s stories, marveling at the generosity of strangers who gave to the man who is always giving to others. Yet, Neil said, “his experience is probably hard to share because we can’t understand it — we didn’t live it.” Donovan is in California now, helping develop programs for the mostly Hispanic and disadvantaged teens served by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sonoma. Life kept telling him, he said, this was his next chapter. He’s written 10 short stories about his pilgrimage and has ideas for about 10 more. He’s writing them, primarily, for family and friends so they can know how letting go propels life to unfold in wondrous, unexpected ways. He would like to return to the Denver area someday. But “you never know,” Donovan said. “The main thing is I’m present and have the courage to follow where life is taking me. We’ll see.” Perhaps, for Donovan, the journey hasn’t ended at all.

Capitol dome reopens after long renovation Three-year project restores iconic structure By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Five words that do not normally go together when talking about a government-backed project are: On time and under budget. But that feat was what state officials were hailing on Oct. 2 as part of a ceremony to mark the reopening of the Capitol dome. A three-year, $17 million restoration project was needed to fix and renovate a 120-yearold dome that has seen weather-caused deterioration over the years. Gov. John Hickenlooper said the project’s success is “a symbol of the resilience of this state.” “This is a gift we’re giving for generations in the future,” he said. Colorado’s harsh freeze and thaw cycles made the repairs necessary. In 2006, corrosion to the dome caused a 10-pound piece of iron to fall, which led to the closing of the observation deck and the installation of a netting system. Repairs commenced after lawmakers created a package of bipartisan bills four years ago to fund the restoration. During much of the project, the dome was cloaked in scrim and scaffolding. It wasn’t until early this year that part of the dome was revealed from under the draping. Workers replaced the deteriorating metal fasteners with stainless steel. The original copper panels were replaced and the lightning protection system was en-

The dome was re-gilded with 65 ounces of gold that came from parts of Colorado that included Cripple Creek and was later prepared in Florence, Italy. “Today, the sun shines bright on this beautiful October day,” said state Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch. The dome observation deck — which offers spectacular views of Denver — was reopened to the public shortly after the ceremony. For visitors like Josiah and Hannah Goering of Chicago, the timing couldn’t have been more impeccable. The two were visiting Colorado and specifically had a trip to the Capitol on their to-do list because Hannah’s grandparents had taken

Schwabbies start move to Lone Tree Company celebrates grand opening of corporate campus By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The mood among the Denver metro employees of one of the world’s most esteemed financial institutions was decidedly light Oct. 1 as Charles Schwab celebrated the grand opening of its Lone Tree campus. The first of about 2,000 Denver-area employees will move into the massive buildings that have forever altered Lone Tree’s physical and financial horizon in early October. Men and women in dark suits and business attire, representing a who’s-who of south metro Denver, gathered at the stillunder-construction site for breakfast, tours and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Schwab opened its Lone Tree retail branch building at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Park Meadows Drive in May, and erected a 50-foot-tall “Schwab” sign along I-25. “If you didn’t notice the new branch, maybe you noticed the sign on I-25,” Schwab senior vice president Brian McDonald said during the grand opening event. “In fact, we got a complaint — IKEA called and said it was too big.” The towering yellow-and-blue IKEA sign marks the retail store in neighboring Centennial. McDonald’s tone turned more serious as he talked about the move to Lone Tree. Schwab’s metro-area workers now are scattered among three buildings around the Denver metro area. “I always like to say we’re moving out of an office park and into a neighborhood,” he said. “We feel like we’re an integral part of the community already.” McDonald said Schwab already has helped sponsor community events and worked with the city on cementing the future southeast light rail extension and the Lone Tree Link employee shuttle. “We’re thrilled to not only be in the community but of the community,” he said. At buildout, the 47-acre campus that features an outdoor amphitheater, rooftop garden, café and trails could house 4,000 employees. “These jobs mean a lot to us,” Lone Tree

From left, Metro Denver EDC’s economic development director Laura Brandt and Lone Tree Arts Center director Lisa Rigsby Peterson survey the Charles Schwab facilities during an Oct. 1 grand opening tour with Schwab’s Kaitlan Shanet. Photos by Jane Reuter mayor Jim Gunning said. “What that means to our sales tax base, what that means to our property values, is immeasurable.” Schwab already has completed two, fivestory office buildings and is at work on its third, with completion expected in mid2015. “I think that we can look forward to more and more Schwabbies coming and buying homes,” Gunning said. Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella translated the impact of all those employees into dollars. “These 4,000 jobs … that’s $1.5 billion a year in economic stimulus through our community,” she said. “That’s staggering.” Employee Tammi Torgler, who now

works in Schwab’s leased space in Englewood, will be among the first to move to Lone Tree. Each cubicle comes with a workstation that gives employees the option to sit or stand, a feature she looks forward to using. “We’re excited about the building,” she said. “The amenity space is incredible. They really did a nice job.” Guests at the grand opening gave the facility positive reviews. “It is a very impressive space,” said Greg Mills, an administrator at Kaiser Permanente’s new Lone Tree building. “The outdoor space, the rooftop garden — it all shows very thoughtful planning.” “It’s absolutely fabulous,” said Laura

Brandt, a director with the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, “and it’s a significant statement Charles Schwab has made to the community about the quality of our community and our work force.” Lone Tree community development director Kelly First surveyed the expanse of mountains visible from the building’s large, west-facing windows. “We’ve been looking at plans so long, it’s nice to see the real product,” she said. The financial securities firm has $2.4 trillion in assets and more than 9 million accounts. Headquartered in San Francisco, it employs more than 13,000 people nationwide. Schwab opened its first Denver branch office in 1978.

Riders strongly oppose Call-n-Ride cut Service struggling with low ridership, but not during peak hours By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com The proposed elimination of RTD’s Call-n-Ride service in Highlands Ranch could leave hundreds of residents stranded. The 30 people who attended a meeting at Eastridge Recreation Center Oct. 2 to voice their opposition to the service cut included a wide-ranging representation of those who most need the front-door pick-up transportation: a blind senior; the mother of a woman with special needs; parents of schoolchildren who rely on Calln-Ride to safely get around. The Regional Transportation District is considering discontinuing Call-n-Ride in Highlands Ranch, Parker and Federal Heights in January, and is required to host public meetings to gather feedback before a decision is made. The district’s board of directors is scheduled to consider the proposals Oct. 28. Kent Bagley, who represents RTD’s District H on the board, attended the Oct. 2 meeting to provide an explanation of the proposal. He said ridership has “never been robust” in the eight years since Call-n-Ride started in Highlands Ranch, but residents challenged that statement, saying they often can’t be squeezed in during peak travel times. Although the service is popular for commuting, it is failing to meet the threshold of at least three riders per hour, Bagley said; the bus in Highlands Ranch is averaging two riders per hour. RTD has made a concerted effort to promote the service to no avail. “We don’t want to take it away,” he said, “but you can’t do the same thing and expect a different result.” But regular riders — and even a woman who attended the meeting as part of her son’s Boy Scout certification — said they have never seen marketing for Call-n-Ride. Bagley suggested that stakeholders should take “more

ownership,” and when pressed for further explanation, Bagley defined “ownership” as active participation and “pocketbook” contributions. RTD’s cost to operate Calln-Ride in Highlands Ranch is around $180,000. Highlands Ranch resident Nick Arky, who had a heated exchange with Bagley, said riders are most upset because the Oct. 2 meeting “should have happened long ago” to determine potential fixes. He said people have taken exception to the threat to cut service before there was any attempt to put together a cohesive plan. “It seems like a foregone conclusion and we don’t think that’s fair,” Arky said. Bagley countered by saying that the proposal could be pulled entirely before the Oct. 28 meeting if stakeholders are willing to fight. He has recently met with representatives from the Highlands Ranch Community Association, Douglas County School District and Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce to explore partnerships, and suggested establishing a coordinating committee to form a sound plan of action. Peggy Cushing, who lives in a senior-oriented community near University and Quebec Street, said taking away Call-n-Ride would be “tragic” for her elderly neighbors. “It would fundamentally change their way of life,”

MORE INFORMATION The Highlands Ranch Call-n-Ride maintains service to C-470 on the north, east to South Quebec Street, Highland Heritage Park, and Rock Canyon High School, south to Wildcat Reserve Parkway and East Highlands Ranch Parkway, and west to South Broadway and Highlands Ranch Town Center Park-n-Ride. One-way rides cost $2.25; seniors are $1.10. The service runs from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. To get involved in the effort to save Call-n-Ride, contact Kent Bagley, RTD director, at 303-333-0636 or kent.bagley@rtd-denver.com.

she said. A woman whose daughter with special needs has ridden Call-n-Ride for eight years to go to her job with the school district said her daughter would have no other options for travel. That sentiment was echoed by Erica Erhardt, whose son attends a charter school that doesn’t provide transportation for students. And Ted Ruskin, a blind senior from Highlands Ranch, said Call-n-Ride serves all of his needs. “This bus is permitting me to stay in my home,” he said. “I need this service.”

GERARD HEALEY President and Publisher CHRIS ROTAR Editor RYAN BOLDREY Assistant Editor JENNIFER SMITH Community Editor VIC VELA State Desk and Legislative Editor

Maybe that wasn’t a wrong turn after all During a business trip this past week with my associates, we found ourselves in North Carolina and relying heavily upon our GPS system for directions. And with today’s technology it is really almost impossible to get lost, unless of course we are either honest about our own operator errors, or fall victim to that relentless and somewhat irritating message: “Recalculating route.” As we were returning to the hotel from our meeting, and admittedly only one exit away from our destination, we began a riveting discussion about golf. Well, truth be told, our golf games are anything but riveting, but I digress. However, we were distracted just enough to miss our exit, and you guessed it, the next sound we heard was: “Recalculating route.” Our instruction was to take the next left turn and make a U-turn onto the highway back towards the previous exit. As we made the transition into the left lane and waited for an opportunity to open up so that we could merge back into traffic, we all looked ahead at the same time and noticed a sign indicating that we were also at the entrance to the Billy Graham Library. My associate and great friend John, who happened to be driving at the time, looked around the car and asked if we should check it out. An instant and unanimous “yes” easily

rose above the “recalculating route” message as we drove straight across the highway and into the parking lot of the Billy Graham Library. Now I would venture a guess that 80 percent if not 90 percent of everyone reading this column knows who Billy Graham is. But just for those who are unaware, I encourage you to check out the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the Billy Graham Library at www.billygrahamlibrary.org. Now here’s the real deal with this week’s column. We were scrambling, busy, running a frenetic pace, traveling from city to city, and in a rush to get back to the hotel in time to do more work. Our missed exit and wrong turn slowed us down just enough to take us on an unscheduled detour and spend time in one of the most peaceful and truly inspiring places any of us has ever experienced. And as I share this story with you, I am reminded of

A little something for those arriving late If you are worried about me because I am retreading themes, and that I might be losing my grip, well, don’t be worried. I hammer the same nails — like Smitty my dachshund, Jennifer my girlfriend, customer service representatives, lutefisk, hair loss, and constipation — partly because I don’t know when you came in. This column is hundreds of columns old by now, but it might be just your first or second one, and maybe you really haven’t figured me out yet. If you are new to “Quiet Desperation,” I can bring you up to speed. You will find a kindhearted man who is patient, generous, and tolerant. Who embraces life, and is outgoing. And who explores this beautiful world that God has created for us, and writes about it for readers like you. It just won’t be me. I am inert and cantankerous. Pessimism is my middle name. “Distrust is the foundation of a good relationship,” is my motto. I think man caves and bachelor parties are dumb. Politicians give me the creeps. I despise the ubiquity of cell phones. Motorists who tailgate should be pulled from their cars and hit repeatedly

the other similar situations and experiences where I found myself on the road less traveled that brought me to an ocean, a park, a river, or some place or location that was unintended but ended up being the absolute right destination at that moment in my life. You know what I mean, don’t you? We try to map or plan out our routes in life to keep up with the rush and crush of everything happening around us. And then just when we think we have it figured out or maybe just feel like we are finally catching up to where we think we need to be at this time of our life or where others think we need to be, we miss our exit, make a potentially wrong turn, and then magically and wonderfully find ourselves exactly where we need to be at that time. Is there a peaceful and inspiring place you need to find? Are you ready and open to missing your exit, taking a wrong turn that just may take you to that place? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when you miss that next exit, it just might be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Celebrating a journey to citizenship

with a sock full of manure. If you want Hallmark, I am not your writer. I’m a little more like H.L. Mencken, and if you don’t know who he was, look him up. I can write about almost anything because if I don’t know what I am talking about, I can make stuff up, and it gets printed. Don’t tell. If you were to say “gophers,” for example, I would start with the University of Minnesota. They are the Golden Gophers. It’s a Big Ten school. The Big Ten is made up of 14 schools, not 10, which should give you some idea about the league’s concept of mathematics. Whenever my school’s league expanded they changed the name. At one time it was the Pac-8, then the Pac-10, and now

This year, Citizenship Day held special meaning for us, two pastors from Littleton. Our churches welcomed Pastor Francisco and his wife, Sandra, as our newest U.S. citizens. An important part of our community for years, their opportunity to earn citizenship shows how, one day, a better immigration process will enable others to move forward and contribute even further to our communities and our country. When I (Francisco) came to the United States in 1999, I did not know what was going to happen. All I knew was that God was closing every door in Mexico, my native country, and seemingly pushing me to come here. Since we arrived, God has blessed my wife and me in so many ways. First, God called me to be a pastor. Like me, many Hispanics know the Gospel thanks to this Nation. As pastors, both of us have learned many things as we minister to individuals and families who are navigating our country’s immigration system. The Bible teaches us to welcome the stranger in our midst, and this work has helped make clear how this teaching applies to the story of the immigrant. It wasn’t until our churches started working together that I (Mike) really became aware of the difficulties immigrants face, before and after

it’s the Pac-12. Those yahoos in the Midwest want to hang on to an inaccurate designation. I refuse to let my son attend a Big Ten university because of it. The school’s colors, maroon and gold, were chosen by a University of Minnesota English instructor named Mrs. Augusta Smith. The colors are nearly identical to USC’s colors, and therefore I always root for the team that Minnesota is playing. Unless it is USC. Bob Dylan was a University of Minnesota student for a little while, just before moving to New York, and turning everything around, including my life. His songs are poems that came at me with shining, mismatched words. “He shot a fire on Main Street and filled it full of holes.” Dylan, 73, will be performing in Denver on Nov. 1. I won’t be there.

practiced for 29 years. She was forced to retire due to extensive back surgeries and the emergence of Systemic Scleroderma in 2005 (a progressive auto-immune degenerative disease). In 2011 she moved from her Huntington Harbor home to Atria Woodbridge assisted living in Irvine. Janice enjoyed many hobbies including making porcelain dolls and BB bears, quilting, knitting and photography. At the Atria, she rediscovered her dormant art talents and pursued pencil drawing, pastels, watercolors, creative writing and became an expert at “quilling” and “iris folding,” two amazing card-making techniques.

Her talents blossomed under the tutelage at the facility, making art a central focus of her final three years. Her art, devoted personal friends, church and family provided the drive to endure the disabling challenges of Scleroderma. Janice is preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Thelma Clark. She is survived by her sister Sheryl Clark-Schizas, brotherin-law Ted Schizas of Las Vegas, NV, her brother and sister-in-law Bill & Carol Hathaway-Clark, and their two sons Jamison and Lucas of Longmont, CO. Her humor, charisma and ever-youthful joy and appreciation of life endeared her to all. A private memorial service was held at the Atria Woodbridge and her ashes were released to the ocean at her request. Donations may be made in her memory to the Scleroderma Foundation, Southern CA Chapter, 10319 Jefferson Blvd., Culver City, CA 90232.

ELECTION 2014: THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR

Hickenlooper proud of record Beauprez: State needs leader Governor says unusual approach isn’t indecision

Challenger doubles down on tough approach

By Vic Vela

John Hickenlooper doesn’t worry about whether people “get” him. His “aw, shucks,” nerd-like personality and his imperfect — and sometimes meandering — way of speaking are a far cry from anything that resembles a polished, focusgroup-driven politician. Through three elections, the quirky Hickenlooper brand has resonated with voters, as evidenced by a landslide win for governor in 2010, and before that, two decisive victories in Denver mayoral races. But it is that same style that has left him wide open for political attacks. He has become fodder for Republican press releases that blast the governor as being a wishywashy failed leader who struggles while deciding over a breakfast menu, much less over areas of public policy. “Obviously, I’m a different kind of politician, but that’s what most people said they wanted,” said Hickenlooper during a recent one-on-one interview with Colorado Community Media from inside his re-election campaign office in Denver’s Lower Highland neighborhood. “They said they’re sick of the same old talking head who gets up in there in a robotic fashion and says the same platitudes that we’ve heard for a million years. That’s one of the reasons why people like me run for office. I think people deserve more.” Hickenlooper has heard the criticism before. But as he enters the final stretch of a tight re-election campaign against former Congressman Bob Beauprez, he prefers to talk about his economic record as governor. There is no question that the economy has gained steam and jobs have been created under his watch. And he largely received praised for his response to crises that made national headlines, such as the Aurora theater shooting, wildfires and last year’s statewide flooding. But Hickenlooper’s own words haven’t

It seems appropriate that a guy who likes to play in the dirt is involved in politics — a business where a lot of mud gets slung. Yes, Bob Beauprez is a former congressman and the Republican nominee for governor, but he is also a bison rancher and an avid gardener who likes getting his hands dirty. “I am obsessive about the condition of our yard and garden and all that,” Beauprez said during a recent one-on-one interview with Colorado Community Media. “I love playing in the dirt. I love plants and fussing with them and the beauty of them.” When Beauprez isn’t tending to his plants, he is on the campaign trail trying to plant the seed in the minds of voters that Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is a failed leader who should be voted out of office. “He has this obsession with collaborating; wants to talk everything through, forever,” Beauprez said of Hickenlooper. “He can’t make a decision and he won’t make a decision.” While Beauprez hammers away at Hickenlooper on a number of issues — gun control, the death penalty and hydraulic fracturing, just to name a few — he is also out to prove the late F. Scott Fitzgerald wrong, that there are indeed second acts in American lives. Beauprez lost badly to Bill Ritter in a 2006 gubernatorial bid where he never recovered from the “Both Ways Bob” label that was pinned on him by a fellow Republican in the primary field. It would be a quite a comeback story if Beauprez unseats Hickenlooper, especially in a state that has been trending Democratic in recent elections and where voters rarely have an appetite to vote out an incumbent governor. Hickenlooper is also backed by an economy that has grown

done him any favors this campaign. Sometimes when the governor speaks, the result is reminiscent of the Grateful Dead during an off night — the trademark style is there, but it will sometimes run off the rails, leaving those listening scratching their heads. His decision last year to grant a reprieve to death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap — who killed four people inside an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993 — was met with confusion and criticism. And in television interviews this year, the governor said that he has moved away from being a supporter of the death penalty (he told voters in 2010 that he was in favor of capital punishment). And he suggested during a CNN interview Hickenlooper continues on Page 12

stronger and created jobs on his watch. But Beauprez believes voters now have the appetite to oust a governor who won his seat in a landslide in 2010 and whose quirky personality has both endeared him to supporters and irked his detractors. Beauprez spent the entire summer blasting Hickenlooper for “failing to lead” on the issue of the death penalty, having been highly critical of the governor’s decision to grant a reprieve to death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. Beauprez said Hickenlooper should have either chosen to go forward with the execution or grant clemency, rather than Beauprez continues on Page12

Hickenlooper Continued from Page 10

that clemency for Dunlap may still end up being an option. The Hickenlooper campaign has said he was responding to a hypothetical question and maintains that Dunlap will die in prison. Also this year, the governor caused a stir over remarks on gun-control legislation that he gave to a group of sheriffs meeting in Aspen. There, he apologized to lawmen for not better including them in the legislative process that led to him signing measures into law that created universal background checks on gun sales and banned high-capacity ammunition magazines. Those measure were opposed by the majority of sheriffs in the state, many of whom were onetime plaintiffs in an unsuccessful lawsuit against the new laws. Those are a few examples of what has led to a lambasting of Hickenlooper over his “indecisiveness” and “failed leadership” on the part of Beauprez and the rest of the Republican Party. “Where have I been indecisive?” Hickenlooper said. “Nathan Dunlap? The (Colorado) Constitution gives you three choices: Execution, clemency or a reprieve. We chose reprieve two months before the decision was made.” “And background checks ... I did say I wish we had gone and allowed the other side a greater opportunity to discuss, but I never went back on the decision.”

No to negative ads

Hickenlooper said his political opponents are “looking for anything they can get” to defeat him, while ignoring his accomplishments. The governor said he is proud of his work during the flooding that ravaged many parts of the state last year. While rain was wreaking havoc, the governor held a meeting with Colorado Department of Transportation administrators, during which he urged them to reopen roads around Lyons and Estes Park more than a month ahead of the time they believed was possible. Had those roads not reopened when they did, Hickenlooper believes businesses in those small towns would have shut down. “We made that decision in 48 hours

while the rain was still falling — and we did it,” he said. “That’s indecision?” In spite of a barrage of attack ads that target him, Hickenlooper sticks to the promise he made to voters years ago — that his campaign would never run a negative ad. “Sure it works,” Hickenlooper said of negative campaigning. “If all you care about is winning one short-term election, sure, go out and have a field day; load the cannons and fire off the missiles.” “But, at the end of the election, after all those negative ads, no one is satisfied ... Whoever the winner is, there’s so many negative ads against them, they are going to have a hard time leading.” Hickenlooper said he doesn’t regret any decision he’s made in office. And he points to an economy that has been among the best in the nation in many post-recession categories. The Business Insider website ranks Colorado’s economy tops in the nation. And Forbes magazine recently listed the state among the best states for businesses. However, other economic models show the rest of the state lagging behind the strengthening Denver metro area’s economy with median household incomes decreasing over the last seven years. Still, Hickenlooper believes his stewardship has helped the state move in a stronger economic direction. “I sit there and look back over the past four years (and) I think during all the significant issues, I think we made the right decisions,” he said. Hickenlooper said this is “probably” his last political campaign and that he has “no intention” of running for national office. Hickenlooper said he never imagined that he would be running a re-election campaign for governor while he was opening the Wynkoop Brewery in lower downtown Denver in 1988, Colorado’s first brewpub and microbrewery. “If you would have talked to me even in 1998, I would have said, `No way. Why would I do that? Those guys get attacked,’” he said of running for political office. “Can you really make a difference? Is it really worth the sacrifice? Well, it turns out you really can make a difference. And in my opinion it was worth the sacrifice.”

Beauprez Continued from Page 10

taking a middle road. Beauprez has also hammered away at Hickenlooper for his handling of issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing. Beauprez has been critical of the governor’s creation of a fracking task force that is charged with providing lawmakers with recommendations on oil and gas drilling issues. Beauprez believes the oil and gas industry is already over-regulated and that Hickenlooper’s fielding of a commission is a yet another example of his “kicking the can down the road” approach to governing. “At some point he crossed a line of `I just want to get along and make everybody happy,’ to `Where do you want to take us and how do you want us to get there?’ Lead,” Beauprez said of Hickenlooper.

Image not cuddly

Beauprez is not afraid to attack, either through political ads or on the debate stage. But some in the media have recently wondered whether Beauprez risks coming across as being too rigid — or even mean. A Denver Post article described Beauprez’s performance during a Sept. 30 debate the newspaper hosted as “practiced and polished — if sometimes stern in his conservative views ...” Left-leaning columnist Mike Littwin of the Colorado Independent said Beauprez came across as angry and bully-like during an Oct. 3 debate in Pueblo. “There’s a very thin line between being aggressive and, well, being a jerk,” Littwin wrote. During a tense moment of the debate, Beauprez was criticized by Hickenlooper for seeming to invoke the 2013 murder of Department of Corrections chief Tom Clements. Clements was murdered outside of his Black Forest home, allegedly by Evan Ebel, an inmate who had been in solitary confinement just days before he was paroled. Beauprez asked Hickenlooper: “What do you have to say to women who are widows who have orphans because of parolees that you have let out of state correction direct from solitary confinement?” Hickenlooper blasted Beauprez’s comments. “For you to make his murder part of a political gambit, I think is reprehensible,” the governor said.

Beauprez — who did not specifically mention Clements during the exhange — made no apologies about his comments when asked them during his interview with Colorado Community Media. “It’s true,” Beauprez said as he leaned over the table for emphasis. Beauprez cited a 2013 Denver Post article that reported that 110 parolees were let directly out of solitary confinement and onto the streets in a single year. As for whether people think he comes across as prickly, Beauprez said, “I take the job seriously.” “Most people that know me know that I’m a pretty good grandpa, that I’m a pretty good dad. I’ve been a very good husband, so I’ve got that side to me as well,” he said. “But this isn’t about who you want to go have a beer with or shoot a game of pool with. This is about who can lead this state.” Beauprez, who is pro-life, has also been on the defensive on women’s issues of late. Although abortion and contraception topics have played a big role in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race, they only became a focal point in the campaign when Beauprez said during a Denver Post debate that intrauterine devices (IUDs) are abortifacients, meaning a drug that causes abortions. Beauprez’s view is not backed by the Federal Drug Administration, which classifies the device as one that prevents pregnancies, not ends them. Beauprez told Colorado Community Media that he believes women should use whatever birth control they want, “but I don’t think taxpayers ought to be funding that.” Beauprez said that when Hickenlooper and Democrats try to attack Republicans on issues like abortion and birth control, they are guilty of trying “to change the subject.” “People are so hungry for people to address the real issues in this campaign, but (Democrats) don’t want to talk about it,” he said. With voters set to receive mail ballots soon, it is hard for Beauprez or any other officeseeker to get away from politics. When he does, Beauprez likes to retreat to his bison ranch, time away that he said is “almost like therapy.” When asked if there are similarities between bison ranching and politics, Beauprez let out a hearty chuckle and said, “Good question.” “With bison you don’t change their minds much,” he said. “You kind of have to convince them, cajole them, but mostly you have to encourage them and wait it out and be patient. “And maybe that is a parallel (to politics), that you can’t always do it on your time, your schedule, your way. You’ve got to make sure and bring them along.”

State transportation leaders look ahead Creative financing, expanded transit needed to ensure economic future By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The state’s transportation leaders envision passenger rail systems statewide, an overall infrastructure that will change and improve with technology and more private investment used to fund vital future projects. Three of them spoke about the metro area’s transportation system during an Oct. 2 Denver South Economic Development Partnership breakfast at the Lone Tree Arts Center. They praised south metro Denver leaders for partnering in financing the recently begun I-25 lane-balancing project, future C-470 expansion and the southeast light rail extension. “This is the way transportation needs to work in Colorado and it doesn’t work that way everywhere,” said Colorado Department of Transportation executive director Don Hunt. As fuel-efficient cars and changing driving habits decrease gas tax revenues, the men said similar collaborations are the key to future improvements. Without them, Colorado’s economic future could dim. Hunt said Denver’s major thoroughfares likely will undergo one more reconstruction, but no more. “After that, we’d better look to technology for the solution,” he said. “We’re not going to be able to widen them (anymore). You could make the case after we finish the lane-balancing project, we have what we will have for the future. We need to learn to manage them better.” Technology will play a major role in doing so, Hunt said, enabling highway engineers to adjust ramp meters and toll lanes almost instantly based on shifting demand. “The long-term really has to do with better technology in vehicles and the entire smart highway system,” Hunt said. “We’re not that far away from more automated vehicles that will travel more smoothly on the highway system and in-

Photo by Jane Reuter crease capacity.” The continued expansion of mass transit also is key to easing pressure on highways. “We want to find a way to accommodate growth for high-speed rail all over the state,” RTD general manager Phil Washington said. “I see high-speed rail coming.” While some large portions of the planned FasTracks light- and commuter-rail line remain unfunded, 2016 will see the opening of several long-awaited projects. Among them: The 10-mile I-225 Line, the 6.5-mile Northwest Rail Line from Union Station to Westminster, and the 23-mile East Commuter Rail Line from Union Station to Denver International Airport. “In 2016, with all these openings, we

are going to have tremendous momentum in this state to do bigger and better things,” Washington said. Groundbreaking on the $207-million southeast light rail extension, which will add three stops and 2.3 miles of track between Lone Tree’s Lincoln Station and the RidgeGate Parkway/I-25 interchange, is expected in 12 to 15 months. Lone Tree, Douglas County, RidgeGate and the Denver South Transportation Management Authority are contributing a total of nearly $40 million toward the line’s construction. Creative partnerships like those and other financing avenues have earned the state a reputation for being visionary and progressive, Washington said. He intends to build on that. “Everything that we talked about lead-

ing up to the FasTracks election is happening now,” he said, referring to the voter-approved 0.4-percent FasTracks tax passed in 2004. “We talked about creating 10,000 jobs at the height of construction; we’re at 10,300. We talked about injecting $2.7 billion into the local economy; we’re at $3.3 billion. We talked about transit-oriented communities popping up around our stations; there are two to three stories every week about some development happening around transit. Everything we thought would occur … is happening. And we’re going to see more of it.” Despite the success of FasTracks, Hunt said 85 percent of all trips still are made by road. “It’s hard to move that number,” he said.

Ace is the (new) place Hardware store moves south on Broadway By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Remember back in the day, when Ace Hardware’s jingle was “Ace is the place with the helpful hardware man”? In 1987, the company changed it to “Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks.” But Lucille Bevans was way ahead of them. Her store has been “Ace is the place with the helpful hardware woman” since 1983. At the age of 55, when most people are getting itchy for retirement, Bevans decided to buy an Ace franchise and set up shop in the Broadridge Shopping Center, at Broadway and Ridge Road. “I had never worked when we were raising our family,” she said. But after her five kids were grown, her husband, Lester, remained busy with his dental practice and encouraged her to find something she enjoyed. “I really grew up with not a lot of confidence,” she said. “My husband instilled confidence in me.” Sadly, her husband didn’t live to see her great success, having been diagnosed with cancer just seven years later. “I think it’s extremely remarkable that she has battled through such adversity on a personal level while being able to maintain a business,” said Bussell.

She said it was difficult at first. “I have a big family and they live close, so they were my salvation,” she said. “But this store was my salvation also. … It was horrible going home that first year. But having a job to do kept my mind off my loss.” Now, at the age of 87, she still goes to work every day, and she’s joined by her son Bob and grandson-in-law Ben Bussell. But as of July, they all stopped going to Broadridge. “It was a good, solid neighborhood,” she said. “I felt like we were able to become a part of that community. We just enjoyed the customers. We built it on good customer service and friendliness. … We’d outgrown the place, and Ace has changed so much over the years with what they offer, things like patio sets,” she said. “We didn’t really have room. It got to the point we had merchandise on top of merchandise.” Now they go to Southbridge Plaza at Broadway and Mineral Avenue, about 3 miles south. Bevans found the former theater there to be just right, and close enough that she could keep many of her old customers. Most recently a Marshall’s, the space has been divided into two stores. Turn Style Consignments has the other half, and The Shack restaurant is on the other side. The new store has the same hometown feel as the old one, and the same variety of home décor items that has always given Bevans’ store her woman’s touch. “We don’t feel like a chain store,” she said. “That’s always been a particular concern of mine, that it would still feel to the

(From left) Ben Bussell, Lucille Bevans and Bob Bevans moved their family Ace Hardware store to Southbridge Plaza from Broadridge Shopping Center in July, and are hosting a grand reopening party the weekend of Oct. 11-12. Photo by Jennifer Smith customers like a small-town store. It is different when you move. Nothing stays the same, but I didn’t want to lose that.” Looking to the future, Bevans hopes Bussell will keep the store in the family. “We seem to like one another, so he’s easy to work with,” she said. “He’s very personable and people like him, and that’s a big part of this business.” The family invites everyone to their grand reopening party the weekend of Oct.

11 and 12, when there will be hot dogs and sodas, demonstrations, balloons and trickor-treat bags for the kiddos. Heritage High School wrestlers will be grilling up the dogs, and the proceeds will benefit the team. “I have a sense of satisfaction that we’ve been able to establish a business that we’re pleased with, and that we can contribute to the community,” said Bevans. “If you can’t contribute and have a good rapport with your community, you don’t have much.”

A WEST SIDE STORY

LIFE

October 9, 2014

M E T R O

October is reminder of disease fight October reminds those of us who are breast cancer survivors how lucky we are for having lived through the journey. Ours is a sorority we never wanted to join. But we did unwillingly and lived to tell it. For me, a multi-year survivor (it’s funny that I no longer remember how many years), October is also a month to support breast cancer patients who are on the path to survival through donating to a charity. My wish in October, and the rest of the year, is for a cure in my lifetime that will annihilate this insidious disease.

New Zealand exhibit runs until February

Dream home open for viewing

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Whales, the world’s mightiest animals, date back more than 50 million years and are the subject of legends, films and travel. These giants intrigue people of all ages who love to explore aspects of the underwater world. Living in a landlocked state, as we do in Colorado, doesn’t diminish the fascination with ocean life. “Whales: Giants of the Deep” opens Oct. 10 at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and runs through Feb. 16. The exhibit is on tour from the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, which has the largest collection of marine mammals in the world. Readers may be aware of a long relationship between the Maori people of New Zealand and whales, and the custom of whale riding, made famous by the film “Whale Rider” some years ago. Changing attitudes have taken many people from hunting whales to protecting them. The exhibit includes interviews about conservation efforts. Visitors will see life-sized models and more than 20 real specimens, including skulls, skeletons, teeth, rare artifacts and

Rich Grant, Denver’s biggest booster who’s worked at Visit Denver for nearly 35 years, has finally set a retirement date — Dec. 31, his 35th anniversary with the Convention and Visitors Bureau. “It’s been a wild and truly wonderful ride, and I had the great privilege of working with the best communications team ever assembled: Deborah Park, Sarah Welch, Katie Adamson Converse, Shannon Dexheimer, Meredith Mirrington, Jennifer Elving Asbury, Angela Berardino, Carrina Waneka, Jill McGranahan, Joy Long Meadows, Andrea Burns, Diane Bechamps, Kim Farin and Carolyn Livingston,” Grant posted on his Facebook page Tuesday. “And of course, it’s been great working with (CEO) Richard Scharf and the rest of the amazing Visit Denver team. I’ll still be around consulting. And I imagine there might be a retirement party in the future. Or two. Or three. Cheers!” Grant has been toying with his retirement date for months, but settled on his 35th work anniversary and his 65th birthday as the right time. “When I discovered there were 12 new breweries in Denver that I hadn’t been to, I realized — I don’t have enough free time!” he said. I have worked and cocktail-partied with Grant during my 21 years as a Denver-based journalist. Grant, indeed, is Denver’s biggest booster even when he’s trying to convince me that a story that really isn’t a story deserves front-page attention. He’s been a staunch supporter of our fair city, and will be sorely missed.

Historic cultural objects include weapons made from whale bones and delicate ornaments fashioned from whale teeth. Whales range in size from the world’s largest animal, the blue whale, to a tiny Hector’s whale, and the family includes dolphins and porpoises. Visitors can crawl inside a life-sized replica of a blue whale’s heart and be awed by the 53-foot-long skeleton of a sperm whale. They can follow a sperm whale on a hunt for a giant squid.

Art exhibit offers best of the `beast’ When Henri Matisse and his contemporaries exhibited their expressive paintings, with looser brushwork and bold colors, many French art critics were horrified and called the artists “les fauves,” the beasts.

Chicken special is back

I cornered Denver restaurant mogul Frank Bonanno at one of his booths during Denver Food and Wine recently, and begged, pleaded and cajoled him into bringing back chicken Tuesdays at Lou’s Food Bar, 1851 W. 38th Ave. And although I can’t take total credit for the return of one of my favorite restaurant deals - a half fried chicken (naked, medium or Nashville hot) with two sides and a draft for $20 per person - I certainly added to the popular demand to bring back that Tuesday tradition. Lou’s has also extended hours to welcome late-night diners

`Last Romance’ leaves lasting impression Romantic comedy on stage in Arvada By Sonya Ellingboe

LEARN ABOUT OUR PLANS NO COST • NO OBLIGATION

The Arvada Center is presenting Creede Repertory Theatre’s summer production of “The Last Romance” by Joe Di Pietro, an expert with romantic comedy. Di Pietro is a New Jersey native and sets this charming story in Hoboken, across from New York City, which we see in the background, but far removed from the hustle and bustle. A lone bench is on the stage as lights go on and we soon learn it’s in a dog park, where Ralph Bellini ( John S. Green), a spry octogenarian widower, has spotted an elegant woman who interests him. Carol Reynolds (Christy Brandt) appears after telling her little dog, Peaches, to go play. Joe asks her if she likes opera, introducing a theme that trails through the evening with a handsome, welldressed young man appearing to sing an operatic aria periodically throughout the play. (On occasion, he also carries a change of clothes or some other item for Joe and is a vision of young Joe, who once auditioned for the Metropolitan.) Carol replies that she knows nothing about opera and isn’t really interested, but the persuasive Ralph tells her: “Everything in life is so small — you get up, you have your day, you go to bed — small! But everything in opera — someone walks across the stage — they sing an aria! Someone opens a door — another aria! Big emotions, big people, big, big, big!” Carol agrees: “Life should be like that!”

Time: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Where: Douglas H. Buck Community Center 2004 W W. Powers Avenue Littleton, CO 80120 A salesperson will be present with information and applications. To reserve your seat, call 800-273-1730 (TTY: 711). Space is limited. For accommodation of persons with special needs at sales meetings call 800-273-1730 (TTY: 711).

“The Last Romance,” a Creede Repertory Theatre production, plays through Oct. 26 at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 1 p.m. Wednesdays; 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets: arvadacenter. org, 720-898-7200.

A drawback for Ralph is his loud, opinionated sister Rose Tagliatelle (nicely played by Anne E. Butler), who appears at the park to scold him for leaving the house without letting her know. She had moved in to care for him after his wife died and tries to be very controlling. Carol is a threat to her. The playwright has done a good job on shaping the Rose part, edging it with humor, even as she is exceedingly cranky. As the story progresses, we get to see little Peaches briefly — he is actually Butler’s dog and lives with her in Creede year-round. (We are assured in his program bio that he is an active member of the Ladies Aid.) Carol decides to take up opera big time and plans a trip for two to the La Scala in Milan — the ultimate paradise for an opera lover. Director Christy Montour Larson has, with her veteran cast, shaped a sweet, small- scale comedy that leaves an audience smiling. Montour Larson’s message in her notes instructs: “Love and joy are within our grasp. Forget the pain of the past. Don’t let regret hold you back. Sing. Listen. Laugh. Walk. Cook. Pet a dog. Enjoy life. Be like opera — big, bold, loud!” Also the playwright’s message, one is certain.

Inside art center is great outdoors `Nature as Subject’ on display in Lone Tree By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Nature as Subject” will bring the beauty of the outdoors into the Lone Tree Arts Center’s galleries through Nov. 13, according to curator Sally Perisho, who said “the exhibition represents the complexity of nature as interpreted through the eyes of three artists.” She continued: “Works in the exhibition range from (New Mexico artist Jane) Abrams’ pulsating canvases to standout woodcuts and monotypes of ( Jean) Gumpper and (Betsy) Margolius. Represented by the William Havu Gallery, Denver, the three are recipients of numerous prestigious awards and are included in private and public collections through-

out the U.S.” Abrams lives and works in Los Ranchos Village near Albuquerque and is a regents’ professor emeritus at the University of New Mexico. Her career extends over 40 years. Jean Gumpper is a professor and artist-in-residence in the art department of Colorado College in Colorado Springs. Her prints are in national and international collections. Betsy Margolius studied at the Art Students League of New York, the University of New Mexico and the University of Denver, where she received her MFA. Her monoprints have been widely exhibited across the U.S. The gallery at Lone Tree Arts Center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and prior to performances. The exhibit will run through Nov. 13. Artwork is available for purchase through the LTAC box office. Admission is free.

Suzanne Nepi of Highlands Ranch happily opened to sold-out audiences in the first weekend of “I Do! I Do!” at the Vintage Theatre in Aurora. She hopes lots of young people see it, since it hasn’t been done in the area recently. She shares the stage with veteran actor/director Brian Walker Smith in a chronicle of the 50-year marriage of Agnes and Michael Snow (1895-1945), based on Jan de Hartog’s play, “The Four Poster.” Tom Jones wrote the book and lyrics and Harvey Schmidt wrote the music for the popular piece, which Nepi calls “a play, with music.” Nepi speaks highly of Smith — “he’s lovely.” And she talks about her song, “What is a Woman?’’ It is “my life as we speak — every woman from 40 to 80 will relate to that song.” The piece was original written for Mary Martin and Robert Preston, Nepi said. Nepi majored in theater at the University of Maryland, and met her husband Mark after graduation when he was in the pit band for a production she was performing in. The family moved to Colorado about 16 years ago. Mark had been at the Air Force Academy and liked Colorado, so they welcomed an opportunity. Like many in Colorado’s theater community, the family had connections with “Magic Moments” productions that

benefit the handicapped. Nepi is getting increasingly active in both straight and musical theater now that her children are older. Mary, a ThunderRidge High School alumnae, graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in theater and is in Los Angeles launching a career, while Peter is a senior at ThunderRidge and looking at colleges. He’s not an actor, but may be interested in film or television, she thinks. He is also active in sports. Nepi was cast in “Spring Awakening” last year with Ignite Theatre Company and sang in “The Drowsy Chaperone” in the Stapleton summer production. “I feel very blessed,” she said. “This city is amazing to me … Lots of great regional theater. I’m trying to branch out.” She has been auditioning and had a callback recently. She will be in a new holiday play at the Edge Theater. She has also been taking voice lessons, since singing parts are often involved. Opportunities in straight and musical theater cross over here. She studies with Laura High in Littleton. And she has developed a supportive network of moms and church friends in Highlands Ranch, as she lives “somewhere that’s green.” She tries to get them to attend theater in Denver … “to leave the bubble.”

Golden stage takes trip to 1960s `Dylan Went Electric’ is charged with nostalgia By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com As lights go up on Sully’s Bar in Greenwich Village, circa 1960s, one can immediately sense a warm, worn, brick-and-wood, well-used, slightly musty place that is a home away from home for a number of locals, especially artists. “Dylan Went Electric” is described to us as “a snapshot” play of a moment in time by a fellow audience member, a retired English professor. This is a particularly well-designed set by Kyle Scoggins — and the bar will actually serve a limited menu of drinks at intermission. Norman (Damon Guerrasio) is at a table, strumming his guitar and singing bits of a song about gypsies that he’s writing. Phil, the politically opinionated bartender (Drew Horwitz), is behind the bar, and edgy Gina (Lindsey Pierce) enters and soon approaches Norman. “I used to write poems,” she says as an opener. Phil’s running commentary fills in bits of ‘60s thinking, by the liberal types who would have frequented this little part of the world at the time. At another table, a quiet Bartholomew sketches steadily in a black binder, occasionally interacting with the others, but comfortable in his private world.

Petra, the Czech waitress (Karen Slack) stomps in, announcing that she was emotionally unable to be there yesterday … She is soon on the phone speaking in Czech. There is obviously a crisis. (The Soviets invaded in 1968). An older man and woman enter and resume an ongoing chess game. They are Morris, the bar owner (Leroy Leonard), and the aging and hard-drinking Bohemian type Edna (Erica Sarzin-Borillo), each with their own stories of the ‘60s. Morris is gay and is beaten towards the end, perhaps in the 1969 Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village that signaled the start of a national gay movement. Playwright Josh Hartwell, 41, writes of his pleasure in researching the history for this play — more than any other he’s written: “Bob Dylan, Dylan Thomas, Gertrude Drick, Washington Square Park, Stonewall, the Beats, folk music. Greenwich is called a Village for a reason …” Director Jim Hunt, who was a 20-something in the ‘60s, speaks of Hartwell’s ability to “capture an iconic moment in time without hitting us over the head with it.” Assistant director Jamie Billings, in her 20s now, comments on the way “social activism can exist through the

IF YOU GO “Dylan Went Electric” by Josh Hartwell plays through Oct. 19 at Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave., Golden. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 6 p.m. Sundays, except 2 p.m. only on Oct. 19. Tickets: $23/$20/$12 under 12; 303-935-3044, minersalley.com.

click of a button, or the tap of a finger, today,” contrasted to times when “people had to leave the comfort of their homes … sing provocative songs … march … The messages surpass all generational barriers.” And that is the appeal of this play for those of us who remember and those of us who learn about those exciting and difficult times. This is theater as storytelling, with interesting, if not always appealing, characters who lead us through a couple of days in a world that once was a center of attention. • Note that the actual Bob Dylan is scheduled to perform in Denver at 8 p.m. on Nov. 1 in the Colorado Convention Center’s Bellco Theatre. Tickets are listed in a range of prices through bellcotheatre.com.

The end of an area of change and upheaval is the subject of the new play, “Dylan Went Electric.” In the play, characters from a variety of backgrounds come together in a bar in Greenwich Village to share their stories. Photo courtesy of Cody Schuyler Photography

SCFD announces Tier III grants 238 groups get OK for funding By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com On Sept. 25, the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District board of directors approved distribution of nearly $6.5 million to 238 scientific and cultural organizations that qualified for Tier III grants. Funds will be distributed in public ceremonies in area counties, including Arapahoe ($1.4 million) on Oct. 16 and Douglas ($439,000) on Oct. 28.

the distribution of voter-approved funds to eligible organizations, and between 1989 and 2013, distributed more than $804 million for advancement or preservation of art, theater, dance, zoology, botany, natural history and cultural history. The program is recognized and admired nationally. Arapahoe County organizations include the Arapahoe Philharmonic, Cherry Creek Chorale, City of Englewood, Christian Youth Theater, Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Center, Littleton Symphony, Littleton Town Hall, South Suburban Parks and Recreation nature and cultural enrichment programs, Up Close and Musical, Young Voices of Colorado and many more.

Bruins bats best Warriors in softball Cherry Creek’s 17 hits fuel 14-4 win over Arapahoe By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com When Cherry Creek’s Frankie Warden led off the first inning with a home run against Arapahoe Sept. 30, it definitely set the tone for the day. The Bruins pounded out 16 more hits from there and went on to post a 14-4 league win over the Warriors. “Hitting has been one of our team strengths all season and we hit the ball well today,” Cherry Creek coach Bill Kramm said. “We are a young team and, while our record isn’t great, we still might make the playoffs which would be a big plus for our players.” Arapahoe Coach Jeannie Krueger said her team has hit the ball well too this season, just not in the right spots against the Bruins. “We have hit the ball well all season,” she said. “We did today early against Cherry Creek but we did all our hitting in the first five innings. After that, we still hit the ball hard, but we drove the ball right at people.” The win raises Cherry Creek’s record to 8-9 overall and 2-4 in Centennial League play. The schedule called for the Bruins to close out the regular season with an Oct. 2 game against Smoky Hill and an Oct. 3 game against league-leading Brighton. After the Sept. 30 game, Arapahoe’s record was 4-13 overall and the team was 0-5 in league play. The Warriors’ final league game and final game of the regular season was scheduled for Oct. 2 against Cherokee Trail. The Sept. 30 game was an Arapahoe home game played at DeKoevend Park. Cherry Creek got off to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on Warden’s solo home run. Arapahoe came to bat, loaded the bases with no outs and scored one run to tie the score. The Warriors got hits and walks to load the bases again in the home half of the second inning. This time, two Arapahoe players scored to put their team ahead, 3-1.

Pitcher Allie Hanson drilled an RBI single to give her team a 4-1 lead. But it was all Bruins from there. The Cherry Creek bats came alive in the top of the fourth. Pitcher Cassidy Blakeley had a two-run single, Jamie Mehaffey hit an RBI double and Lindsey Rindal had a two-run single and the Bruins plated seven runners to go ahead, 8-4. The Bruins got a single run in the sixth inning and scored five more times in the top of the seventh. The seventh-inning rally included a pair of home runs, another solo blast by Warden, and a two-run homer by Morgan Hansel. Arapahoe played hard and made a number of good defensive plays.

Valor holes fourth golf title in six years Falcons finish fourth in Class 5A with three sophomores, one freshman By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com There’s always chatter about Valor Christian’s football team which has captured five consecutive state championships, including the past two in Class 5A. The Eagles football team, however, might have to share a little of the limelight with the boys golf team, which captured the Class 4A state golf title for the fourth time in six years by finishing 23 strokes in front of secondplace Pueblo South at the state tournament held Sept. 29-30 at Walking Stick in Pueblo. “We’ve won four in the last six years and lost in a playoff one other year,” said Valor boys golf coach Jason Preeo. “The football team is still a little bit ahead but that’s alright.” All four Valor golfers finished among the top six in the individual standings in Pueblo. Senior Jake Staiano was second with a 4-under par 140 total to finish two shots behind state champion Taylor Rodriguez of Pueblo South. Staiano tied for the first day lead with a 67 and shot a 73 on the final round. Ross Macdonald carded a 2-under par 70 during the final round and finished third at

Softball Continued from Page 26

Dasia Vavrik caught a pair of fly balls on the run to deny batters base hits. Also, shortstop Hannah Stanley made a diving stop to keep the ball in the infield and keep the runner on third base. “We have a fair record but we didn’t help ourselves by winning games earlier this season,” Kramm said. “So, we’ll close out the league season and see if things bounce our way so we go to the playoffs. If they don’t, we’ll look ahead to next year.” Kramm said the Bruins are a young team with four freshmen on the varsity and a number of sophomores who played good softball

2-under 142 while Coby Welch tied for fourth at 146 and Pierce Aichinger tied for sixth with a 147 36-hole total. “The kids played really well,” said Preeo. “On day two it was windy and certainly a lot more difficult than the first day. All the scores went up a little bit but they hung in there. Ross’ round of 70 was probably just about as good as shooting 67 the first day. The kids were really dealing with a little bit of pressure with the expectations but they came through and played well.” In the Class 5A tournament at the Colorado Springs Country Club, Highlands Ranch was four shots off the lead after a three-player total of 230 for the first round on Sept. 29. The Falcons faded during the final 18 holes and wound up tied for fourth in the team standings at 470, 24 shots behind state champion Coronado. Sophomore Tyler Zang paced Highlands Ranch with rounds of 74 and 78 and was tied for 17th in the individual standings at 152. “We have these babies so we’re lining up with a freshman and three sophomores,” said Highlands Ranch coach James Barker. “The first day we just played kind of mediocre. As a team we played maybe C golf. Coronado didn’t play very well the first day. But we were only four strokes behind after day one so we were in second place after not playing very well. “The second day we might have played

our worst tournament of the year and slipped to fourth but we were only three shots out of second. We couldn’t quite pull it off. It’s experience. The more competitive golf you play, the smarter you get and the easier it is to hold it together. It would have surprised me a little bit if we had won the whole thing but we just kind of didn’t know how.’’ Barker was already playing it forward after the tournament.

“This group of kids I have love to play and love to do the things you need to do to get better,” he said. “I look for us to be a contender next year and the year after that. We’ve got talent now, our work ethic needs to be better and our learning curve needs to be a little steeper. “I am proud of them. We would have rather won the thing but it’s more common for experienced players to hold it together and get it done. We just couldn’t quite get it done.”

this season. “We’ll still be a young team but we’ll have quite a few players who will have the muchneeded varsity experience to help us look to improve our performance,” he said. Warden has been a strong hitter all season, and posted a .557 average after the Arapahoe win, in which she hit her second and third home runs of the fall. “I think hitting may be the best part of my game,” Warden said. “I sure like hitting more than I do fielding.” The junior outfielder said she likes the outfield because she can see what is happening everywhere on the field. She said hitting well strengthens her confidence at the plate and in the field. She said she will work to improve her throwing and her fielding in order to be a better player for the Bruins next fall. On the other side of the field, the Arapahoe

coach said she had hoped her team would have a better record at this point in the season, but it just didn’t happen. “We played well at times and it seemed we always hit the ball,” she said. “Several games were like this one in which we hit the ball early, but then just didn’t hit the ball to the open areas so we could score more runs.” The coach said the Warriors are a young team and she will have her players focus on playing well in the final two league games in order to close out the season on a positive note. Looking ahead, the coach said there are only two seniors on the season’s roster so the Warriors should have a solid foundation next season. “Softball is the only sport the girls on our team play so I will urge them to work on refining their hitting when with their club teams,”

Krueger said. “I talked to them about being more patient and being more selective about which pitches to swing at. We lose a senior pitcher and a senior at first base. But we have two other pitchers on the roster so we should be OK next season.” Senior Allie Hanson said she’d probably close out her pitching career at the end of this season. “I have been a pitcher almost since I started playing softball as a 5-year-old,” she said. “I started pitching and I stuck with it. I like being on the mound, being involved in the game and I enjoy the pressure of throwing pitches in the strike zone that are hard to hit.” She said her best pitch is her rise ball. She said she uses the other pitches to set up her rise ball and make it harder to hit.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF OCT 6 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) An upcoming trip could create some problems with your schedule unless you tie up as many loose ends as possible before you head out the door. Ask a friend or colleague to help you. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Being eager to start a new project is fine. However, moving ahead without knowing what actually will be expected of you could cause a problem down the line. Ask some questions. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Getting through some recent challenges in good shape might give you a false sense of security. Don’t relax your guard. You need to be prepared for what else could happen.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Caution is still advised, even though you think you’re as prepared as you need to be. Keep in mind that change is in your aspect, and you should expect the unexpected. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) The Lion’s gift of persuasion helps you get your points across, even to some of your most negative naysayers. An old friend might seek you out for some advice. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Being sure of your convictions is fine. But leave some room for dissenting opinions. You might learn something that could help you avoid a possible problem later on. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Getting good legal advice on what your rights actually are is the first step toward resolving that pesky problem so that it doesn’t re-emerge at a later date. Good luck. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Longtime relationships work well this week, whether they’re personal or professional. It’s also a good time to invite new friends and colleagues into your life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) This is a good week to do the research that will help you uncover those irrefutable facts that can back you up on your new venture when you most need it. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Change is an important factor in your aspect this week and could affect something you might have thought was immune to any sort of adjustment or “alteration.” AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Being asked to share someone’s deeply personal confidence might be flattering, but accepting could be unwise. Decline gracefully but firmly. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) As wise as you are, you could still be misled by someone who seems to be sincere but might not be. Take more time to assess the situation before making any commitments. BORN THIS WEEK: You like to face challenges that others might try to avoid, and by so doing, you set an example of courage for all. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Football highlights Valor Christian, ranked No. 1 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, used an interception late to seal a 23-21 Centennial League win over Eaglecrest. Quarterback Dylan McCaffrey passed for 184 yards and two touchdowns for the Eagles and Eric Lee Jr. rushed for 106 yards, including an 84-yard scoring scamper as Valor won its 27th straight game against instate competition. Cherry Creek moved to 2-0 in the Centennial League with a 31-0 win over Overland. The Bruins defense limited the Trailblazers rushing attack to an average of 1.2 yards on 38 carries and Creek’s Milo Hall rushed for 128 yards and three TDs. Cherry Creek meets unbeaten Grandview Oct. 10. In Continental South action, Kyle Gallup completed 23-of-35 passes for 253 yards and three touchdowns but Chaparral lost 40-37 in double overtime to Fountain Fort Carson. Gallup also ran for touchdown. Legend’s defense had its hands full trying to contain Doherty’s Tequan Baker who ran for 344 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-14 Continental South win for the Spartans. Mountain Vista remained unbeaten for the season and in the Continental North with a 34-7 triumph over Rock Canyon as Nick Schmalz rushed for 153 yards and three scores for the Golden Eagles. Trevor Howard was the top rusher for Rock Canyon with 107 yards and a TD. ThunderRidge thumped Fruita Monument, 43-7, and Regis Jesuit blanked Highlands Ranch, 43-0.

More from the softball circle Freshman Ali Kilponen struck out 13 batters and pitched a no-hitter in Valor Christian’s 2-0 Jefferson County 4A League victory over defending state champion Wheat Ridge on Oct. 3. Erica Mann clubbed a two-run double in the third inning to provide Kilponen with all the runs she needed as the Eagles improved to 7-1 in the league and handed the Farmers their first league loss in eight games. With the head-to-head win over Wheat Ridge, Valor claimed the league title.
