Ballot won’t feature schools State funding plan portrayed as unfair by district board members By Jane Reuter

Lincoln Station moving full steam ahead Transit-oriented project picking up speed as economy rebounds By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com When the Clock Tower Grill opened in Lincoln Station in October 2009, its staff felt a bit lonely. The southeast light rail extension had opened in late 2006, but a battered economy delayed construction of many of the other buildings planned near the light rail stop that opened in November 2006. “I think then it was more about the potential,” general manager Tyler Thompson said of the restaurant owner’s decision to open at Lincoln Station. Five years later, that potential is coming to life, and the landscape looks strikingly different. A boutique salon, ballet fitness studio and other businesses share the Station Street building, which now is flanked by other buildings housing offices and medical suites. Public art, including the iridescent

glass piece “Sun Stream” erected on the side of Lincoln Station’s five-story parking garage and a plaza with a water feature, give visitors and light rail riders reasons to linger a while. Construction is under way on an apartment complex a stone’s throw from the restaurant’s door along Park Meadows Drive, and another, larger complex is planned for construction this fall on the site’s west end. Just across Park Meadows Drive, Kaiser Permanente’s six-story, 275,000-squarefoot multi-specialty building opened in late 2013. “Some of the plans have not come to fruition, but a lot of them have,” Thompson said. “Kaiser, the apartment buildings — it’s a great area.” With existing apartment complexes like the Metropolitan already next door and two others soon to come, the Clock Tower staff no longer minds its once-isolated post. “It’s nice we’re the only game in town for walking distance,” Thompson said. The 35-acre property, while abutting the City of Lone Tree, is located in unincorporated Douglas County.

Lincoln Station’s evolution follows the path of most transit-oriented developments, which are designed as mixed-use, high-density residential and commercial areas focused on access to public transportation. The complex currently under construction on Station Street east of Park Meadows Drive will include 101 units. The Lofts at Lincoln Station, developed by Niebur Development, is described as a Class-A, luxury property. It will include a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, average 787-square-feet each. Niebur anticipates leasing units in early 2015. Construction on a second apartment complex between Station Way and the Metropolitan apartments will begin late this year, and wrap up in mid-2016. The Camden Property Trust project includes about 270 units. Rent for the units, which range in size from 570 to 1,250-squarefeet, will average $1,400. Camden operates several apartment complexes in the Denver area, including Camden Belleview Station. Like its planned Lone Tree complex, it is within walking distance of the Belleview light rail station.

Lengthy I-25 project to start this month ‘Lane balancing’ will widen highway By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two and a half years might sound like a long time to add two, three-mile-long lanes to Interstate 25, but state officials said the lengthy construction period was created in deference to the traveling public. The $32 million to $35 million “lanebalancing” project, which will add a lane to I-25 in both directions between Lincoln Avenue and County Line Road, will begin by Aug 20. It’s set for completion in December 2016. Why so long? “Because it’s I-25,” Colorado Department of Transportation spokeswoman Crystal Morgan said. “We can’t do a lot of

work on I-25 during the day, so almost all of the work has to be done at night and on weekends. “You’ll see a lot of work being done during the day, but we are required to maintain those lanes. We will have reduced speed limits, and that does cause backups. So you will see some disruption.” The project will convert the six-lane section of highway to eight lanes, reducing congestion created in large part by I-25 drivers exiting and merging from the C-470 southbound off-ramp and the northbound Lincoln on-ramp, and those merging and exiting southbound I-25 at its intersections with County Line Road and Lincoln Avenue. The construction will also expand highway ramps. Off the highway, it will eliminate the frontage road just east of I-25 and north of Lincoln Avenue, creating a trail connection. The work originally was planned as part of the massive metro Denver Trans-

portation Expansion Project, or T-REX, completed in 2006. The five years of construction that began in 2001 widened major portions of the interstate and added 19 miles of light rail, including the southeast corridor light rail line to Lone Tree. Crews will do most of the lane-balancing construction between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., but Morgan said about three hours of each night shift is consumed with closing and reopening portions of the highway. “We really only have the availability to work for about six hours,” she said. Winter construction is further hampered by cold temperatures that often prohibit concrete work. “So we tend to lose a lot of construction time in the winter,” Morgan said. The project, cut from T-REX due to budget restrictions, is jointly funded by CDOT, Douglas County, the City of Lone Tree and the Denver Regional Council of Governments.

Douglas County School District staff proposed a way to fix the district’s aging buildings without raising taxes, but the school board recently decided not to put the question on November’s ballot. Board members unanimously adopted the resolution not to participate in the fall election, citing concerns with the state’s school funding formula, which they believe already puts an unfair burden on Douglas County taxpayers. But a member of DCSD’s fiscal oversight committee said other factors are at play. “I think there are bigger issues the board is facing they need to resolve,” Dave Usechek said. “There is no doubt in my mind there’s a need (for capital funding). But until there is positive support for the board, and no longer this bickering between parents and the board, I am not willing to support giving additional funds. Both sides need to resolve their differences and start working together for the best interests of kids.”

Union numbers declining Reasons behind decrease in teachers’ membership depend on who’s talking By Jane Reuter

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Membership in Douglas County’s teachers’ union has dropped from about 70 percent of the district’s teachers in 2012 to around 50 percent, its president said. The 47-year collective bargaining agreement between the Douglas County School District and the Douglas County Federation expired after negotiations failed in 2012. School board member Doug Benevento said the decrease points to a failure of leadership, but union president Courtney Smith said it’s a combination of teacher attrition and district roadblocks. “Teachers are fleeing that union as quickly as they can,” Benevento said. “The union leadership is in it for the union leadership, and not for the rank and file.” Smith said many of the teachers who have recently left DCSD were union members who can’t continue their DCF affiliation Union continues on Page 9

‘Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can’ Stuff. Most of us have lots of it. Cristin Bleess and her husband, Adrian Horner, did. But by the time March 13 rolls around, the day they leave for Albania with the Peace Corps, their possessions will amount to this: • An antique pie cupboard refinished by Adrian’s mother and given to them as a wedding gift • A coffee table made from the window of Cristin’s grandparents’ Minnesota farmhouse • A cedar hope chest that belonged to Cristin’s aunt filled with items such as a childhood photo album and a few framed photographs • Two filing drawers of tax returns, Social Security information and other documents • Camping and backpacking gear • A couple of bicycles • Two suitcases each of clothing “It’s amazing how much stuff you have that really isn’t sentimental or even used or even appreciated,” Adrian said as he considered what they have let go. “The thrill of discovery is almost better than the thrill of having.” The journey to de-stuff began late last fall when Cristin, 41, a Spanish teacher, and Adrian, 38, a software tester, decided to change the course of their lives. “We just wanted a new adventure,” Cristin said. They contacted a Realtor with the intention of putting their three-bedroom home on the market in January, met with a financial adviser and, after exploring options, decided to apply to the Peace Corps, which requires a 27-month commitment. Meanwhile, they began deconstructing their belongings, much of it unique, original folk art collected from countries they’d visited in Latin America or antiques with personal connections or collections of one-time passions that reflected eras of their lives. “Our stuff wasn’t stuff you can buy at Pier 1 or Target,” Cristin said. “It’s stuff we had both collected through travels or through family or through interests. We

thought about it a lot.” They checked into storage costs — $200 a month. Too expensive. They considered disposing of some, keeping some. But the storage cost issue remained, and family didn’t have enough space to offer. Then Cristin saw this Facebook post: “Collect memories, not things.” And that was it. She said to Adrian: “Let’s just get rid of it all.” They began in the basement, with holiday decorations and unopened boxes that had followed Adrian and Cristin from place to place. High school yearbooks. Adrian’s ACT scores. The 1,500 to 2,000 comic books of “Fantastic Four,” “Avengers,” “X-Men” and others that Adrian had collected in elementary and middle school. The military memorabilia collection that started with Adrian’s grandfather’s WWII medals and included a Civil War bayonet and a WWI helmet. Cristin’s beloved sticker collection, which she began in fifth grade and continued for several years, building it into what she called the best collection, even organized by categories such as teddy bears, unicorns and hearts. It all easily sold through postings on social media garage-sale sites or consignment to niche stores. “I took my grandfather’s insignia out and sold all of it,” Adrian, a college history major, said of the military collection. “It went from a big box to a couple of medals.” Cristin became Facebook friends with the woman who bought her sticker collec-

tion, one of the possessions to which she was most attached. “It’s probably the first thing I ever was passionate about and that I did on my own,” she said. “I spent my own money on it and took care of it and was invested in it. Like I said, it was the best collection.” Next came the kitchen. Dishes. Pans. The box of cake-making utensils given to Cristin by her mom, a baker of wedding cakes. Books — avid readers, they donated boxes of books to the local library. Clothing. For staging purposes, closets should look empty to help sell the house, Adrian said. So “we got ruthless with our clothing.” “You have so many clothes you never wear,” Cristin added. “As a dual-income, no-kids couple, you just accumulate stuff and you don’t always think before you buy it…” They took three to four lawn-size trash bags of clothing to five different consignment stores from Castle Rock to Boulder, the rest to Goodwill. On Jan. 1, they listed their home and moved in with Adrian’s mother. They also moved some furniture to her basement and all the folk art. Adrian’s mother took the two-and-ahalf-foot tall, colorful, ceramic church, a thrill-of-discovery find by renowned Mexican potter Candelario Medrano chanced upon on the floor of a Santa Fe gallery, and a metal red heart that “spoke” to Cristin in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. Except for four other pieces, they delivered all to a consignment store near Tucson. The ones they held back include a smaller Medrano church, and a fruit bowl and clay figurines of a couple on a park bench made by the Mexican artist Josefina Aguilar, whom Cristin met on the same trip during which she met Adrian. “I wanted to take them with the other stuff to Arizona,” Cristin said, “but Adrian wanted to think about it more.” “I probably fought harder on keeping things in the folk art collection,” Adrian said. “I have a lot of fond memories of the things we’d done together, and the stuff in

the house reminded me of that. I recognized the fact I couldn’t just go to WalMart and buy them again.” Travel has played a meaningful role in their lives and relationship. A high school trip to Mexico ignited Cristin’s passion for Spanish, which became her career. An acclaimed teacher, she taught the language for 18 years until the school year ended in May. She was traveling throughout Mexico in July 2003 when she met Adrian at a hostel in Oaxaca. He was three months into an 18-month bike trip he started in California and ended in Argentina. Until his return to the Denver area, they communicated through emails. Then, they visited between Denver and Minneapolis, where Cristin was teaching at the time, until she moved here in 2005. They married two years later and have journeyed together through 13 states and four countries. The anticipation is building for Albania, which is unlike any place they’ve been. “It’s that thrill, the excitement,” Adrian said. “I think that’s why we both love to travel — we don’t know what we’re going to get.” When the house sold in March, they moved most of the furniture to the basement of Adrian’s mother’s home and put it on Craigslist. Eventually, it all went. The red couch with the two chairs, one green, one a patchwork of colors, and a geometric-design rug. The queen bed, full bed and twin bed. The dining room table and chairs. Bookshelves. The antique wardrobe and dresser. Lamps. Patio furniture. The antique washstand. Cristin delivered the dresser her uncle made in his high school shop class to her second cousin in Loveland. Adrian also sold the ‘93 black Geotracker he had started driving his junior year in high school. The final piece of furniture, a TV cabinet, sold three weeks ago. Healey continues on Page 24

Third-party candidate works to sway voters Williams challenges for seat in HD-44 By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Lily Tang Williams has some very personal reasons for running as a Libertarian in her election bid for state House District 44. Williams, a Chinese immigrant who moved to the U.S. in 1988 for graduate studies, said she hopes to bring change to the House seat, which has long been held by Republicans. It is currently occupied by Chris Holbert, who is termlimited and is now running for Senate District 30. For the first 23 years of her life, Williams said, she and her family were oppressed by the regime of Mao Zedong, the longtime chairman of China’s Communist Party. This upbringing had a profound influence on her decision to enter the political realm. “We were very poor and, of course, we were very brainwashed,” said Williams, who was raised in

the mountainous Sichuan province, which she calls the “wild west” of China. Williams, of Parker, says the level of government corruption and fear-inducing oversight she witnessed during her youth was a motivating factor in making sure the same does not happen to Williams her adoptive home country. Her mother and father did not receive a proper education, but they made sure that their daughter exercised her intelligence and had opportunities. Williams studied hard and graduated from a top-five law school in China before pursuing her master’s degree. She has since worked in corporate law, telecommunications and real estate, but wants her next career to have an impact on the future. In a wide-ranging interview July 24 that covered topics from Second

Real Estate

Amendment rights to the legalization of marijuana (she’s for both), Williams said she believes America’s two major parties have run the country into the ground via “crony capitalism.” A former Republican who has had friends in both major parties, Williams said she saw enough to drive her to become a Libertarian, although she knows it’s an uphill battle in a historically conservative district. “I have been fighting for liberty all my life,” said Williams, who supports personal freedoms and smart deregulation. “Winning or not, I’m going to vote for my principles.” Of the 223,000 registered voters in Douglas County, nearly one-third identify as independent or “other,” according to the county elections office. It’s those people Williams is hoping to convince. “Some people are still conflicted and some are totally party-line people. It’s sad, but it’s a reality,” she said. “My goal is long-term, so people who can’t support me today, I won’t push them.”

Helpers honored for heroic actions South Metro Fire honors citizens who stepped up to help out in times of need By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com

Local ads, coupons, special offers & more

When a bystander steps in to save a life, victim and rescuer are usually complete strangers. Yet it turns out that Bob Marlin knew those who rushed to his aid on the first tee box at The Meadows Golf Club in south Jefferson County. In fact, he had trained them to use the automated external defibrillator that brought his heart back to a normal rhythm. Marlin, believe it or not, had been a driving force behind the installation of that very AED when he worked for the West Metro Fire Protection District — the department that serves the golf course. Marlin is now with neighboring South Metro Fire Rescue, the agency that presented a lifesaving award to the employees of The Meadows and West Metro responders during a standing-room-only ceremony July 28 at the authority’s headquarters in Centennial. His daughter, Cameron Marlin, made it a point to attend the awards ceremony, where she delivered an appreciative hug to each of the people who made sure her father survived his scare. “It’s nice to meet them outside of a hospital setting,” she said. Coincidentally, Marlin also knew the doctor who was standing over him when he awoke at the hospital. He greeted the doc enthusiastically until Marlin realized why he was there. The recognition for Marlin’s rescuers was far from the only feel-good moment of the night. The other heroes recognized during South Metro Fire Rescue’s annual citizen awards event were each met with thunderous applause for their actions. Fire Chief Dan Qualman said they each went “over and above what’s reasonably expected.” That includes Castle Rock resident Brian Lindeman, a trained EMT who works for Lockheed Martin’s emergency services division. Lindeman was a few vehicles away from a horrific crash in which a cement truck pulled in front of a woman on a motorcycle at U.S.

coloradocommunitymedia.com

Fracking ballot initiatives dropped Hickenlooper and Polis reach deal, task force formed By Vic Vela

vvela@colorado communitymedia.com Voters will not be weighing in on hydraulic fracturing this November after all. Gov. John Hickenlooper and U.S. Rep. Jared Polis announced an 11th hour deal on Aug. 4 to create a special task force to address issues surrounding fracking — the

very day that signatures to put fracking on the November ballot were due for submission to the Secretary of State’s Office. The task force is part of a deal that the two Democrats reached in the days leading up to the announcement that will also end efforts by Polis to place two anti-fracking ballot initiatives on the November ballot. Later in the day, profracking groups said they too will drop their own ballot initiative efforts, suddenly ending what was gearing up to be a ballot box fight that was expect-

of members from across all business fields. Members would include representatives from the industries of oil and gas, conservation, agriculture, homebuilders and local governments and civic leaders. The task force would make recommendations on fracking issues to the Legislature.

Fight over for now

U.S. Rep. Jared Polis discusses the details of a deal reached Aug. 4 with Gov. John Hickenlooper concerning fracking and local control initiatives. Photo by Vic Vela ed to be costly — both in terms of campaign advertising dollars and potentially in political price for other candidates seeking office this fall. The Polis-backed initiatives sought to increase setback requirements for wells and would have also given communities greater control over oil and gas drilling operations. Pro-fracking groups had sought initiatives that could have had economic impacts on communities that ban fracking — the process by which water and chemicals are blasted into the ground to free up trapped oil and gas underneath. Also as part of the agreement, Hickenlooper said that the state would work to end a lawsuit against Longmont over new oil and gas regulations the city ad-

opted two years ago. But the big news is the agreement to pull the ballot measures. Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry had opposed Polis’ efforts, concerned that the initiatives would be akin to a fracking ban in a state that relies on drilling to feed the economy. And Democrats were concerned that an expensive fracking battle would hurt candidates this November, especially Sen. Mark Udall, who is locked in a tight re-election campaign against U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner. But those fears for Democrats now appear to be over as Polis announced he is backing off of his efforts to continue to pursue the initiatives, measures that he had been helping to fi-

nance. Polis said during a hastily-called Capitol press conference that he considers the creation of a task force to be “a victory for the people of Colorado.” “For the first time, with the (oil and gas) commission that the governor mentioned, citizens will be on equal footing with the oil and gas industry and will be able to directly negotiate to protect their property rights, home values, and air quality,” Polis said. The 18-member task force would be charged with helping to “minimize land use conflicts that can occur when siting oil and gas facilities near homes, schools, businesses and recreational areas,” according to the governor’s office. The task force would be made up a diverse group

Although the agreement had been announced by the governor and Polis, it was still unclear at the time of the press event whether pro-fracking groups would agree to drop their own measures. That question was answered late that same evening by Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, who was behind an initiative that would have prohibited communities that ban fracking from collecting revenues that are a part of oil and gas revenue allocation. McNulty said through a press statement that he would suspend his efforts, calling the decision by Polis to drop his initiatives “an exciting turn of events.” Another pro-fracking initiative, which would have dealt with financial disclosure issues of future ballot measures that deal with energy development, was also dropped. Hickenlooper had cautioned for months that the ballot initiatives could have Fracking continues on Page 7

Carbon-regulation debate hits Denver Opponents of proposed rules fear fiscal impact By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A national debate over proposed new clean-air rules swept through Denver last week, resulting in a values clash of job security and environmental protection that attracted visitors from the around the country. Denver was one of four cities chosen by the Environmental Protection Agency to hold hearings on proposed power plant regulations that are aimed at combating global warming. The two-day hearings were held beginning July 29 inside the EPA’s Region 8 office in lower downtown Denver. Through implementation of the agency’s new plan, President Obama’s administration has stated it hopes to cut carbon-dioxide emissions by 30 percent over the next 16 years. Supporters of the proposed regulations view the rules as a necessary step toward addressing the impact of global warming. “This is the issue of our time,” said Chris Arend of Conservation Colorado. “If we don’t take action we’re going to see a much different Colorado in ways we don’t really know.” At the same time the conference was being held, several opponents of the proposed rules rallied in Denver’s Lincoln Park on July 29 to denounce the regulations. Many were coal advocates who said the EPA regulations would kill jobs and cause energy prices to skyrocket in an already heavily regulated industry. “This is the way I make my living,” said Bill Jones of Craig, a mechanic at a coal mine. “We have a hard enough time as a society with energy costs as it is anyway and I don’t want to see prices go up — and I’m trying to protect my job.” Coal-burning power plants like the three that operate in the Craig area would be impacted by the new regulations. Colorado is one of the top coal-producing states in the country. However, coal production has dropped over the years along with demand.

“draconian” results on an industry that generates jobs and contributes billions of dollars to the Colorado economy. For months, the governor held out hope of calling a special session to address local control issues surrounding fracking, only to call off those efforts last month after a compromise had failed to materialize. It now appears that the governor doesn’t have to worry about an expensive fight over fracking in November. “The (task force) will provide an alternative to ballot initiatives that, if successful, would have regulated the oil and gas industry through the rigidity of constitutional amendments and would have imposed a significant threat to Colorado’s economy,” Hickenlooper said. McNulty As for the Longmont litigation, Hickenlooper said he would call on the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission to drop its lawsuit against the city. The city had created its own set of rules surrounding fracking, including a requirement that wells be placed at least 750 feet from an occupied dwelling. The lawsuit marked the first time the state had sued a city over its own oil and gas rules.

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

Still, miners like John Simonet, also of Craig, say their communities depend on the industry and that increased regulations would only hurt them more. “If this goes through, unfortunately everyone will probably have to go elsewhere to find work and probably even, worst-case scenario, create another ghost town in our neck of the woods,” Simonet said. The EPA considers the greenhouse gas that emits from power plants to be the country’s largest source of carbon pollution. The organization says the pollution is a significant contributor to global warming and can have longterm impacts on the environment and public health, as supporters of the regulations tried to convey over two days of testimony here and in Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Washington. State Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, who is the chairman of the House Transportation and Energy Committee, testified on behalf of the regulations July 29. He said afterward that any industry job loss would pale in comparison to the economic impact that would continue to occur if climate change isn’t taken more seriously. “As we change the climate, there’s going to be millions of jobs that disappear,” said Tyler. “There’s no comparison at all between what’s going to happen in the next 30 years and the fact that the coal industry has to change.” Tyler and Arend said that Colorado has already taken the lead nationally in stemming carbon emissions. They point to recent legislation that has increased renewable energy mandates on utility companies and rural electric cooperatives, as well as other state regulations that promote natural gas and that have helped to clean up coal plants. States would have leeway in how they implement the administration’s rules. Because of that, Arend said he doesn’t see much of a job impact at coal plants because Colorado has already put in place strong regulations. “In Colorado, we’ve taken a lot of steps and we’re well on our way to meeting what the EPA is asking us to do,” he said. “If Colorado doesn’t have to do a whole lot more, I don’t see how that can impact those jobs.” But Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez doesn’t buy that argument. He said prior to speaking at the Lincoln Park rally that energy industry regulations are

KNUS radio host Dan Caplis is joined by several children during a rally at Denver’s Lincoln Park on July 29. The rally served as a protest to new air-quality rules that are being proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency. Photo by Vic Vela already having an adverse impact and that adding more rules is an “ill conceived” policy direction on the part of the Obama administration. “All of us want clean air and clean water,” Beauprez said. “The people that are closest to the industry ought to be concerned about negative impacts more than anybody, and they’re the ones here saying, `Let us keep our jobs.’ We have never done energy cleaner, safer, more efficient in the history of mankind. That’s something we ought to celebrate, not punish.” But supporters of the regulations say complacency is not an option. “I hate to say something extreme,” Tyler said. “But there is absolutely no doubt that humans are destroying the climate that allows us to have an economy at all. There is no doubt at all that humans are causing serious climate disruption. It’s as certain as gravity.”

Life is a conveyor belt toward final checkout Pat Bowlen has Alzheimer’s. There is no known cure. It is very difficult to watch a life in descent. By now, most of us have probably been through it — or we are going through it right now. My dear friend Ruth, 96, thought we were married. My aunt thought I was my cousin Linn. I left Michigan on a Tuesday, I was in Highlands Ranch on Wednesday, and I was back in Michigan on Thursday. My mother didn’t know I had left, and I was staying with her. My father couldn’t eat, drink, walk or talk. It was nearly impossible for my sister and me to watch. He was in the hospital for the final eight months of his life. It was unfair. Our mother was in her kitchen one day, in a hospice the next, and gone a few days after that, but our father took his time. I guess it has been known for some time that Bowlen was experiencing short-term memory loss and other signs of Alzheimer’s, but most of us didn’t find out until July 23. The story dominated the Post, to the extent that there was no editorial page. Amy Van Dyken was told to say her goodbyes. After her recent ATV accident in Show Low, Ariz., she was told to say good-bye to her husband. She said good-bye, but she wasn’t going anywhere. It is one of the best stories of 2014. There have been a lot of lousy stories this

year, but when I get down on them, I check in on Amy. She is going to compete in a 26.2-mile marathon in her purple wheelchair with her brother by her side. I am certain that Amy will be more active than I am, even though she is paralyzed from the waist down, and I am fully ambulatory. It’s likely that years of athletic discipline prevented the accident’s outcome from being worse than it was. Respecting life means something to me. And respecting death does too. They don’t seem to care in some parts of the world. In my least favorite part of the world, the Middle East, you get a number, not a name. It doesn’t seem to matter if you are a mother or a father or a child. It doesn’t seem to matter if you are praying at the time, reading a good book or learning how to play the violin. There will be a bomb. And the total that day will be on the news. The number of innocents who were killed. There are never any

names. But here we name every single one. I read the obituaries. I don’t know any of them, but I want to find out whatever I can. I wrote my father’s obituary, knowing that nobody knew him. I thought maybe there was someone like me who would read it with an oblique interest, and realize that he was a good man. I am 66 and some of my friends have died, and some of their mothers and fathers have died. That’s what happens when you get older. Death is no longer somewhere way out there. It’s in the next email. It’s in the next phone call. My mother and father died within three months of each other. There is an almost unexplainable emptiness that goes along with the deaths of both a mother and a father. Now what? My sister and I carry the family history. I carry most of it in my memory. I have a few photographs and a few videos, and that’s all. There is no presence. Death starts knocking when we are young. It may be a pet. I saw a dried-up lizard when I was 5 or 6, and didn’t understand what I was looking at. I do now.

Turn to teamwork for better outcomes While I was facilitating a team meeting recently, the people in the room had an “aha” moment that will change the course and culture of the company and also accelerate their success. It wasn’t anything so profound, it was simply just a realization that they could accomplish more as a team than they ever could possibly do as individuals. Another one of those common-sense things that are not always common practice. This was a group of high-achieving and high-performing individuals. And since they were seen as the superstars of the company, they behaved in the same way. Egos were getting in the way of taking the team and the company to a higher level. I reminded them that even in the All Star games of professional sports, the players at the pinnacle of their game come together for one game and play for a common cause … a win. This is not an uncommon situation, and as a matter of fact, I find it to be true with small businesses and large companies alike. I see it in associations and organizations of all kinds. And I have witnessed it with families and in

churches. You see, we can all benefit from finding the resources and people in our lives that can help us achieve success. Even the individual who struggles through difficult times or fights their way through incredible opportunities presented to them could benefit so much by leveraging the people in their lives that could absolutely lend a hand, give advice, or just listen to the ideas and goals. Here’s the thing, sometimes some of us worry so much about perception that we are afraid to engage others for the fear of feeling like we are not smart enough or strong enough to handle the situation or opportunity on our own. So in the face of feeling embarrassed, we go it alone. If we would only learn

to lean on our families, friends, and/or other people we already know or could be introduced to, we can truly accelerate our successes in life. Take the time to think about an event or potential opportunity that has already taken place in your life where the outcome wasn’t exactly what you had hoped for. Now think about the people in your life that could have made a difference in that outcome. What if you had assembled a team or small group to help you, maybe even just one other individual that could have provided an assist, do you think that the outcome could have been improved? How about you? Do you like to go it alone or do you believe that teamwork could accelerate success? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we come together for the greater good or a common cause, it really will be a better than good week.

School bells ring for most Aug. 11 Douglas County cites new features for academic year By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Alissa Oster and her mother are excited about the Aug. 11 start of school, but for very different reasons. “I can get back into the routine I like,” said mom Suzanne Keilt, mother of four Douglas County School District students. “Summer can get kind of chaotic.” “I’m really excited because I get to see one of my friends, and I’m going to be a junior so I’ll be an upperclassmen,” said 16-year-old Oster, who attends Highlands Ranch High School. Oster is enthused about an interior design class she plans to take, apprehensive about math, and intrigued by chemistry. “I heard chemistry was fun,” she said. “But I’m getting a lot of the new teachers next year. That’s one thing I’m not real excited for. So I’m on and off about it.” Most Douglas County students return to school Aug. 11, though some charter schools and other schools have different starting dates. Check your school’s website or www.dcsdk12.org for calendars and other information. We asked the Douglas County School District what’s new for the 2014-15 academic year. Here is the district’s response: • DCSD Strategic Plan: The new 2014-17 DCSD Strategic Plan features four priori-

Ballot Continued from Page 1

The board’s July 15 resolution said the state’s funding formula sends a disproportionate share of Douglas County taxes to other Colorado school districts, leaving DCSD “consistently underfunded.” “The board is convinced that, because Douglas County taxpayers believe they are paying top-dollar for statewide education in the form of substantial income, sales, property and other taxes, they are simply unlikely to approve any local ballot measure that will further increase their tax burden,” the resolution reads. DCSD is among the lowest-funded districts in Colorado. If it received the average state per-pupil funding for 2014-15, it would boost its revenues by about $269 per student — a total of $17.2 million. At that rate, it would take 16 years to cover the $275 million in unmet capital needs. Members of DCSD’s Long Range Planning Committee have for years warned the board about deteriorating conditions in many of its aging buildings. DCSD has

outside Douglas County. “That’s new for us because for years and years and years, teachers in Douglas County stayed their entire careers,” she said. “They’re not fleeing the union. They’re fleeing the district. “Maybe the school board should worry less about my membership, and more about finding out why they lost 555 teachers.” Recently released figures from the Colorado Department of Education show 17.3 percent — or 555 — of DCSD’s teachers left their positions in 2013-14. The numbers are collected mid-year and do not reflect turnover after Dec. 1 of any academic year, or in-district promotions or transfers. Of those 555 teachers, DCSD said 85 were transferred or promoted within the district. The CDE shows the district had 3,361 teachers in 2013-14. In 2011-12, the year before the collective bargaining agreement expired, DCSD teacher turnover was 11.24 percent, according to CDE records. Benevento and school board president Kevin Larsen wrote in a July 21 letter to Smith that the decrease in union membership shows, “it is clear that voters and teachers believe the leadership of the DCF is not in touch with the community.” They urged Smith to re-engage the community

ties: Safety, Choice, World Class Education and System Performance. We have long said that safety is our number one priority. With the new Strategic Plan, we move safety forward as our first priority. • SchoolMessenger: Launched in the spring of 2014, SchoolMessenger is a reliable and robust messaging system used for emergency communication with parents and staff. • Professional Development module for InspirED Innovation: This new module will support a focus on alignment, sustainability and continuous quality improvement. The PD module will help staff find the courses that best align to learning needs — such as an individual teacher searching for a course aligned to their professional growth plan and their CITE evaluation, a principal looking for courses tied to school data, a classified staff member seeking to enhance their skills, or The Center for Professional Development using the information as a needs assessment. In turn, this data will be used to show growth in individual and system skills and performance. • DCSD Mobile App: Stay tuned for the new and improved version of the DCSD mobile app. It will be available for free on iTunes and GooglePlay. • DCSD Parent University: Parent University will educate, empower and connect families with community resources needed to provide confidence, character development and life skills. A parent advisory group and district leaders have collaborated to create a robust list of courses

$275 million in unfunded capital needs over the next five years, according to the committee, a number that grows by $35 million each year the needs are not addressed. DCSD chief financial officer Bonnie Betz recently proposed seeking voter approval to issue general obligation bonds without raising tax rates. Betz called the idea to leverage additional funds a “winwin.” Without such action, taxpayers eventually will see a decrease in their annual tax obligation to the schools. Voters passed a similar refinancing mechanism in the Littleton Public Schools district last November. Issues presented in the Long Range Planning Committee’s 2014-15 Capital Master Plan include aging buses, boilers and roofs; outdated technology; cracked parking lots; unraveling carpet; safety and security needs; and new construction prompted by near-capacity schools. “This seems urgent to me,” DCSD chief operations officer Thomas Tsai told the board during a June presentation to the board. The resolution also states DCSD will continue studying fiscally responsible ways to address the district’s capital needs. Long Range Planning Committee Chair

and “disavow the past practice of attacks and untruths.” The letter was delivered to Smith the night before her July 25 address to a Highlands Ranch Republican breakfast group. The board members cited union involvement in school board elections, opposition to the pay-for-performance system introduced in 2012 and previous union leadership that “showed virtually no commitment to its members” among their ongoing concerns with the organization. The union recently challenged the validity of the district’s teacher pay system, but the Colorado Department of Education concluded it complied with state law. Smith said the DCF is working to rebuild its membership numbers with new teachers. But that’s a challenge because it no longer participates in new-teacher orientations and trainings. “We have to reach the new teachers on our own,” she said. Although DCSD has a Center for Professional Development, the teachers’ union will reintroduce professional development classes to its members. It also introduced a sliding scale on dues, offering a $31-per-month fee to teachers paid at the lowest end of DCSD’s market-based pay scale. The regular DCF monthly dues payment is $48.98. “We want as many of them to be able to afford membership as possible,” she said. The union “gives teachers and employees a collective voice, and a collective protection against the reforms and what’s happening in the school district.”

and seminars. DCSD Parent University registration will open on Sept. 9. • DCSD Parent Liaison: In May 2014, DCSD added the Office of Parent Liaison to connect parents with district resources and leaders. The DCSD Parent Liaison will work closely with school accountability committees, maintain a social media presence and serve as a liaison. • DCSD Choice Fairs: DCSD will host three Choice Fairs to showcase schools and district programs. This is an opportunity for parents and students to learn more about what makes each school unique and choose a school that best fits their needs. • Castle View High School: The Mosaic Collective is a pilot program being implemented this year for a group of ninthand 10th-graders. The new program will address the personalized learning needs of each student in a transformational learning environment. Teachers will collaborate with each student to develop curriculum aligned with that particular student’s passion and interest. At the same time, the teacher will also ensure the individual student learns critical standards and skills. “I’m convinced this is going to be our best year ever,” reads an emailed statement attributed to Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen. “Our work continued this summer and we are ready to welcome students back into the classroom. The energy and excitement from our students and staff is contagious.”

Todd Warnke said the group will continue following the resolution’s directive to educate the community on the issue, gather feedback and return to the board with alternatives. That could include putting the issue on the November 2015 ballot, the last chance DCSD would have to continue the current tax rate. Once tax rates begin to fall in 2016 and residents become adjusted to those lower assessments, Usechek said it would be tough to raise them back up. “Until they get their ducks in a row, (passing any question) is not viable,” he said. “They’d better do it before 2015 because that’s the last window of opportunity there is for no tax increase.”

Local groups team up for kids By Jane Reuter

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Five Douglas County entities teamed up to make going back to school a lot more pleasant for about 640 area students. The Douglas County Educational Foundation (DCEF), Douglas/Elbert Task Force, Douglas County Libraries, the Giving Tree and Fresh Harvest Food Bank provided school supply kits to families during an Aug. 2 event at the food bank in Lone Tree. Students received backpacks and school supply kits provided through Staples’ Kits for Kidz that included crayons, paper, markers, scissors and other age-appropriate items. In addition to the Staples’ kits, Douglas County Libraries donated $1,000 worth of flash drives. “It doesn’t meet every need, but we distilled it down to the essentials,” said Krista Zizzo, a program coordinator for the DCEF. She estimated the value of the items each student received at between $30 and $50. Surplus supplies from the event will be made available to teachers.

Sheriff’s Office on June 21. The DCSO reportedly conducted an investigation of the girl’s social media accounts, which led law enforcement to the Oklahoma City apartment by obtaining Internet subscriber information for the IP address. According to the documents, Sumpter and the girl first had contact with each other in November 2013, and “developed an online relationship … that turned sexual” via the Internet-based messaging, video and chat sites of Kik, chathour.com and Skype. Sumpter allegedly told his roommate that the girl was his daughter, and convinced him to drive him to Colorado to pick her up, according to court documents. The men reportedly picked her up at a location within walking distance of her home, “drove immediately back to Oklahoma” and stayed at the Oklahoma City apartment from June 21 through June 27. Sumpter is being held without bond. He appeared before a U.S. magistrate in Oklahoma City on July 18 for preliminary proceedings. A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, West District in Oklahoma, stated that Sumpter will next appear after the prosecution presents an indictment to a federal grand jury.

Chamber to resume search for president Process suspended during events season By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Lone Tree Chamber, absent a paid leader for almost a year, expects to fill the president’s seat this fall. Its last leader, executive director Linda Harmon, resigned in September 2013 after serving seven months. Chamber officials began the search for a new leader and interviewed several candidates soon after Harmon’s resignation, but opted to put the process on hold. But chamber founder Donna Russell, who is serving as interim president, said the group’s leaders decided it would be wiser to wait until after its busiest time of year to hire a new person. “It felt really unfair to throw somebody into the mix at the beginning of our events season,” she said. Chamber leaders also wanted time to

“rework the compensation package,” Russell said, but declined to provide salary details. The group also agreed to change the chamber leader’s title back to president from director. “We will likely start advertising and interviewing again in August, with the expectation we will have somebody on board hopefully by October or even sooner,” Russell said. Those interviews will include candidates who were part of the earlier process. “It’s a matter of picking up where we left off and proceeding,” Russell said. “We haven’t said `no’ to anybody, and we were pretty up-front about the fact that we were flexible in a time frame.” Russell founded the chamber in 2006. Harmon replaced chamber president Michelle Holbrook, who resigned in late 2012. Harmon’s resignation came weeks after the 2013 Taste of Lone Tree, which had a variety of problems, including weather and food shortages. Russell has served as interim president at no cost. She acknowledged the decision

Organization preps for Taste of Lone Tree Staff report

Lone Tree restaurateurs are preparing to dish up a memorable experience during the 2014 Taste of Lone Tree. The annual event is planned for Sept. 13-14 on a paved lot at RidgeGate’s Lincoln Commons shopping center, located near the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Yosemite Street. To ensure variety and shorten wait times, the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce set a minimum of 25 participating restaurants for this year’s event. “We are now approaching our 25,” into leave the top spot vacant also saved the group money, but said the 172-member chamber is on solid financial ground. “It’s been progressing steadily throughout its seven years,” Russell said. “Just like

terim president Donna Russell said. “We are full steam ahead at this point.” Tickets for this year’s Taste are $15 and include 10 tastes. A family pack, including four postcard-sized single tickets for a total of 60 tastes, also is available for $45. Drink tickets may be purchased separately at $7 for a 6.5-ounce glass of wine and $5 for a 16-ounce beer. Live music, a clown, a face painter, and arts and crafts displays are included in both days’ festivities. For tickets and more information, visit www.atasteoflonetree.com.

any organization, there have been some growing pains. But I think it’s really strong. I have been so pleased with how supportive the members are as we continue to grow.”

Checks mailed to victims of Lower North Fork Fire Staff report Settlement checks totaling $18 million have been mailed to residents who were impacted by the Lower North Fork Fire —

two years after 22 homes were destroyed during a state-prescribed burn gone bad. “I think it’s significant because the people lost confidence in our government because the prescribed burns escaped,”

said state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Gilpin County, talking about the 4,100-acre fire. The Colorado Forest Service called for the prescribed burn as part of a March 2012 fire mitigation effort that went ter-

ribly wrong. Fire containment issues were compounded by communication failures between dispatchers and area residents. Attempts to reach some of the victims for comment were unsuccessful.

Chefs warm up here, then heat up East “Cowboy Lore,” watercolor, by Robert Gray is included in the Western Welcome Week Western Heritage exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton. Courtesy photos

Local artists show Western works Gray, Phippen exhibit set for Town Hall gallery By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Skilled paintings of cowboys, horses and the Western landscape will fill the Stanton Gallery at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center during the month of August, especially during Western Welcome Week, with the Western Heritage Art Show. The exhibit opens Aug. 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Robert Gray of Highlands Ranch and Sarah Phippen of Sedalia will exhibit images of horses, cowboys and Western landscapes. An artists’ reception is planned from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 14, and the exhibit ends Aug. 25. Robert Gray is a Colorado-born artist who paints in watercolor, oil and acrylics, showing lots of action, color and loose style. He will have 20 paintings in the Western Heritage exhibit and is excited about being in downtown Littleton, where he maintained a studio and taught for some years on West Alamo Avenue. He conducts workshops all over Colorado and paints almost every day in his home studio. “My house is just full of paintings,” he said with a laugh. “”I love to paint.” He works from photographs and memory and uses little plastic model horses. “Sometimes, I paint the horse, then just put the cowboy in the saddle,” he said. He doesn’t sketch in figures for oil or acrylic works, but may do a little pencil sketch of figure for his watercolors. A recent painting of a cowboy on a horse in the middle of a stream — fly fishing — is called “It Beats Chasin’ Cattle.” It reflects a new interest. His son got interested in fly fishing and they both signed up for a class in fly tying. Gray hasn’t caught many fish yet, but loves “the beauty of the location.” He said his brother was a better painter when they were young, but while Gray continued painting, his brother quit. “I picked up publications and art books, attended workshops all over the country,” he said. “What’s neat when I teach is that I learn from my students.” Whatever medium he’s using is his favorite on that day, he said. He’s figured out his own way to use acrylics and paints fast, whatever he’s using — even oils, where he might spend a few days. Watercolors can get overworked if the artist doesn’t stop in time. (No more than two hours.)

Phippen to show oils

Phippen said all of her works in this show will be oil paintings, although she also sculpts in bronze. Her formal training began at age 14, according to her website,

“Fly Fishing Cowboy” by Robert Gray, acrylic, is also in the Western Welcome Week Western Heritage Arts Show.

New York Eater, the national website that has a Denver version (www.denver.eater. com), has tracked the culinary trek of Colorado chefs who have packed their knives and migrated to The Big Apple. While writer Nick Solares highlights the Colorado kitchen careers of a number of chefs who practiced their craft at The Little Nell in Aspen and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder in particular, the story had a glaring omission — my son, On the Town Junior. Mackenzie Parker Harden moved to New York City more than a year ago to pursue a performing arts career, but fell back on the restaurant training he received at Elway’s, El Diablo and (as a sage) at TAG, and landed a server job at Maialino, a much-lauded jewel in the crown of the Union Square Hospitality Group, helmed by noted restaurateur Danny Meyer. The story credits the culinary program of The Little Nell resort in Aspen and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder for providing top New York restaurant whizzes. Among those former Coloradans are Dustin Wilson, the sommelier at Eleven Madison Park, Sabato Sagaria, chief restaurant officer for Union Square Hospitality Group and seemingly the entire staff of Charlie Bird, to name but a few. The story notes: “Is Colorado turning into a farm system for NYC kitchens? Is this just a strange coincidence? Or is there, in fact, a Colorado connection? Eater talked with some of the state’s notable expats to find out just why, exactly, so many talented hospitality professionals are migrating from Colorado to New York.” It continues: “Colorado is in many ways the quintessential Western state, and the resourcefulness and spirit of independence that were such driving forces in the migration across the plains still manifest themselves there. `It’s hard to live in Colorado if you are not a motivated person,’ says Ryan Hardy, chef and owner of Charlie Bird in NYC. Originally from Kentucky, Hardy spent a decade in Colorado before moving to New York and opening his own restaurant. He has played a role in the cross-pollination of restaurant cultures between the two places, bringing others from Colorado, such as Grant Reynolds, the wine director at Charlie Bird, with him.”

Teddy walks tall LEFT: “Answering the Call” oil on linen by Sarah Phippen of Sedalia is in the Western Heritage Exhibit at Town Hall’s Stanton Gallery during August. RIGHT: “Scouting,” oil by Robert Gray, is also in the exhibit. and she has since studied with Jim Norton, Daniel Sprick, Sandra Kaplan and Anthony J. Ryder. Her grandfather was sculptor, painter and founder of Cowboy Artists of America George Phippen, and she was recognized in 2013 by the Phippen Museum Western Art Show in Prescott, Ariz. “I grew up surrounded by livestock and wildlife,” Phippen writes. “Observing their personalities and expressions allowed me to experience their quiet moments or read trouble in their eyes. I see this heritage as part of our age-old relationship with animals; it is part of being human, a privilege that surrounds us every day.” As part of her training, Phippen worked as a wax chaser at the Joseph’s Art Works bronze foundry in Sheridan, operated by the late Bill Joseph’s son Patrick. She assisted with a 2004 retrospective for George Phippen, held at the Phippen Museum, and developed an art enrichment program for elementary students. A true Western artist, Phippen’s website reads, she belongs to the Art Students

League of Denver and to the Colorado Farm Bureau. “Communicating emotions in a visual language, either in painting or sculpture, requires a fluency in light, color, form, as well as patient observations … Observe and observe again and look for the reasons behind expressions. How — and why — does a horse smile? That’s what I’m after.” She thinks she will have about eight paintings: two large horses, a 16-by-20 landscape and some smaller studies. New for her: two light figures on a dark background.

OFFICIAL GUIDE BROUGHT TO YOU BY

Western Welcome Week brings plenty of horsepower By Christy Steadman

csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com It is the Chinese year of the horse, and people will have plenty of opportunities to do some horsin’ around in Littleton at the 2014 Western Welcome Week, taking place Aug. 8-17. This year’s theme is Giddy Up!, and the event will be celebrating community for the 86th year by offering dozens of activities for families and individuals to enjoy during the 10-day celebration. It wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of about 20 organizations and proceeds will benefit many local nonprofits. Cindy Hathaway, executive director for the event, said a person does not need to be “Western” to enjoy the event. “It’s Western Welcome Week because we’re in the West,” she said. “(But) there’s definitely something for everybody.” Hathaway added the only stipulation is that people come to have fun. Attendees can look forward to live music and dancing, food, arts and crafts, educational seminars and unique contests. Here are some of the Giddy Up! highlights of Western Welcome Week. The main event is Festival Day, which takes place on Aug. 16, beginning at 6:30 a.m. when people can purchase breakfast at the Grand Western Sandwich Breakfast at Littleton United Methodist Church, 5894 S. Datura St. From 10 a.m. to noon, thousands of people are expected to line the streets to attend the Grand Parade. The parade route begins at Littleton Boulevard and Gallup Street, heads west on the north side of Littleton Boulevard, continues through downtown Littleton on Main Street, turns south at the end of Main Street onto Rapp Street, and ends at Arapahoe Community College at Rapp and Church streets. The parade is free to attend, and will feature equestrians, high school marching bands, pipe bands, tractors and floats. Dr. Charlie Vail of Littleton Equine Medical Center will be recognized as the Grand Marshal.

Western Welcome Week begins on Aug. 8, and activities for the 25th Family Night Concert in the Park and Fireworks at Sterne Park, 5900 S. Spotswood Ave., begin at 6 p.m. The Denver Municipal Band, a full 40-piece concert band featuring some of the area’s leading professional players — including many principal musicians of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra — will perform at 7:45 p.m. Following the concert, at about 9 p.m., Tri-State Fireworks will be putting on a professional fireworks display. All kids, from toddlers to age 12, are welcome to participate in the 19th Bruce Wolf Stick Horse Stampede on Aug. 10 at Arapahoe Community College, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the stampede is promptly at 10 a.m. It is free for all participants, and kids are welcome to bring their own stick horse or one can be purchased at the event for $10. Ribbons will be given to winners and all entries will receive a participation ribbon. The Stanton Art Gallery in the Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., will be hosting the Western Heritage Art Show Aug. 5-25 in recognition of Western Welcome Week. The art show features Colorado artists Robert Gray and Sarah Phippen and their artwork aimed at capturing the life of the West. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. During Western Welcome Week, the gallery will also be open on Saturday, Aug. 16 for Festival Day. Additionally, an artist’s reception, open to the public, will take place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 14, where people will have an opportunity to meet the artists. The Western Heritage Art Show is free to attend. There will be opportunities to enjoy the outdoors during this year’s Western Welcome Week at the 21st Stampede! for Open Space or the 19th Gold Panning on the Platte. Both events take place from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Aug. 9 at the Carson Nature Center, South Platte Park, 3000 W. Carson Drive. Stampede! for Open Space is a family-friendly, free event offered for people to learn about the outdoors. Attendees will learn about living in a tipi, trapping, drought and floods on the river flow table, animals in South Platte Park and land uses, and participate in craft-making and old-fashioned games. Gold Panning on the Platte is a free, drop-in event part of the Stampede! for Open Space. People will be able to experience Colorado’s heritage by panning for gold in the South Platte River near the Carson Nature Center, behind Aspen Grove Shopping Center. Equipment and expertise will be provided, and people get to keep any gold they find. Western Welcome Week offers a couple of different opportunities for folks to dine and dance, Westernstyle. The Elks Hometown Pig Roast & Dance takes place from 6 to 11 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Littleton Elks Lodge, 5749 S. Curtice St. The pig roast will be buffetstyle, and includes coleslaw, baked beans, corn-onthe-cob and a dinner roll.

Shelties put on a show Dogs are an entertaining part of the Grand Parade By Jennifer Smith jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com

Maggie Wild of Wild West Shelties marches in several parades a year with Miss Drew and Corky Joe. Courtesy photo

t was love at first sight when Maggie Wild met Dinky and Aspen, and she decided to put that love on parade. “When I would walk them, I was almost stopping traffic because they were so cute to watch,” she said. “I thought, ‘How can I share theses dogs with others?’ They put a smile on your face and joy in your heart.” Dinky and Aspen were Wild’s first Shetland sheepdogs, affectionately known as Shelties, which she welcomed into her home in 1995. She wanted to find a way to let the world know what a great breed they were, so she came up with the idea of teaching them to pull a little Conestoga wagon, custom built just for them, and hitting the road on the parade circuit, winning lots of awards along they way. “They are herding dogs, and they love to be kept busy, so this is their job,” she said. “And they love the attention.” Training them wasn’t too hard, she said. She started by having them pull around an empty milk jug, then a Radio Flyer wagon, then the wagon filled with sand. A tack shop made the harnesses for them, and another friend added Lydia,

their rag-doll passenger, and Skippy the Horse, their outrider. “They’re so smart,” said Wild. “They love tricks and they like learning new maneuvers.” Sadly, she lost Dinky and Aspen within seven sad weeks of each other. But she was hooked on the breed and now is doggie mom to Corky Joe, 11, and Miss Drew, 8. They’ve been marching in the Western Welcome Week Grand Parade since 2002, much to the delight of their fans of all ages. “I have a lot of fun, plus it’s something I can do with my dogs,” she said. “Mostly, I love to extend joy out to people. Both of my parents were very community-minded, so it’s just come naturally. I just found a little bit different way than they had.” Miss Drew is a bouncy little girl, and Corky is an excellent dancer. They love to play hide and seek with Wild, waiting patiently for her to hide, then seeking her out when they hear her clap. Corky is a fantastic singer, and although Drew’s vocal cords were cut by her original breeder, she can most definitely get her point across when she wants to. But they are more than just local celebrities, having been trained as therapy dogs. They regularly visit places like Craig Hospital and Life Care Center, eager to cuddle and help with fine motor skills. “They are very loyal, they have huge hearts, and they love to give to others,” said Wild.

Cowboy Steve croons the classics Smith is a longtime fixture of local music scene By Jennifer Smith jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com

owboy Steve “Smitty” Smith doesn’t need Music City USA to be a country star, because he’s a celebrity right here at home. “I made a trip to Nashville, but it just never really materialized for me,” he said. “I didn’t want to pick up roots and leave Colorado.” Cowboy Steve has had kids hootin’ and hollerin’ during Western Welcome Week for the last 35 years, playing his fiddle or guitar in the parade and cranking out classic favorites like “She’ll be Coming `Round the Mountain” and “Oh Susanna” on the family stage during his afternoon sing-along. “They get to whistle, they get to yell and scream, stomp and holler,” he said. “Kids are the best audience in the world. They’re uninhibited, they’re all in.” He loves keeping the old classics alive while teaching kids about history and cowboy culture. “Colorado really has that Western spirit, its entrepreneurism, its individualism,” he said. “People get to be who they are.” Smith got his start in the music industry in the heart of Littleton in 1985, when

he purchased what was once Crescendo Music just off of Littleton Boulevard on Cedar Street. “Owning a music store is really what I wanted to do,” he said. “But I didn’t have any business training other than just common sense.” He did have a degree in mass communications, though, which is what brought him to town. He came to Colorado from St. Louis in 1978 to take a sales job at a Westminster newspaper, but he fell in love with Littleton right away. When a similar opening came up at the Littleton Independent, he jumped on it. He took over Crescendo Music when owner Robb Heskett, a friend, made a move into the wholesale end of the business. That’s also about the time Cowboy Steve started making the rounds, at first just for the children of friends, then as a professional gig. “I really love the persona,” he said. “I feel very fortunate to have figured that one out.” What he figured out was that he had to keep the little ones engaged by interacting with them, getting them riled up and rocking out. “If you’re having fun, the audience, whether they’re 6 years old or 60 years old, can’t help but have fun too, and that’s a good feeling,” he said. Smith has been in a variety of bands over the years, including as one half of Colfax and Wadsworth with his friend Ed

He currently plays with Lois Lane and the Super Cowboys along with his old friend Heskett, or “Ranger Robb,” as he’s known. The two also perform together as the Mango Brothers, departing from their usual country and rock to play island music. He’s also available for private lessons, and he works part time at Music Go Round near Southwest Plaza as an instrument technician, maintaining and

restoring anything with strings. “Music is my calling,” he said. “I’m a lucky man. I’ve paid the bills my whole life doing it. You make sacrifices along the way, you know how it is. But it’s been great.” Even after 35 years, Smith still looks forward to Western Welcome’s Week’s Festival Day and the Grand Parade, Aug. 16 this year. “We see people every year on that one day who we only see that one day a year, and it feels like a piece of Americana,” he said.

Church troupe to stage melodrama By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Perils on the Platte” is a new Western Welcome Week event: an old-fashioned melodrama, performed by the Encore Players, a ministry of Littleton United Methodist Church. It is co-directed by Kathy Peterson, who has lived in Littleton for 51 years, and Donna Smith, a Littleton native.

If longtime residents detect a flavor of the late, lamented “Fiasco” community spoof productions, it’s no accident. Both theater professionals were heavily involved in the “Fiasco” series and retain the aura of irreverence shown in those spoofs. This production will offer a good time and an opportunity to do good: Peterson is a longtime member of the Clipped Wings retired flight attendants’ organization, and a portion of the proceeds from the show will be

(Here, the audience should say “awww!’) Kalvin and Klara Kindly (Ron Duce and Marilyn Miller) find the baby and decide to keep her and raise her as their own. They have also discovered gold. Enter S.S. Cravenhiss (Jay Jarrett) and his sidekick Silty Waters (Greg Kuhn), who are trying to buy up all the land west of the South Platte, south of Riverpointe, to build a mall.

Speaker shoots wildlife in the nicest way By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Our Wonderful World of Wildlife” is Russ Burden’s title for his 20-minute program that features photos of mammals, birds, insects and more, photographed both locally and during the nature photography tours he conducts. Slides are accompanied by music, offering a mini-escape from reality. He will present the program for the Englewood Camera Club Aug. 12 in Centennial. Guests and new members are welcome to this longstanding club (60

years), according to member Steve Johnson. Burden, a Parker resident, teaches locally and travels across the U.S. and around the world, connecting photographers and nature. He replied to our inquiry from Glacier National Park, where he is conducting two tours, photographing the spectacular scenery and wildlife. His website offers a nice hint for those who can’t contemplate a long journey to Africa right now: zoo photography. He offers suggestions for equipment to take on a “Safari to the Zoo” and wryly comments that it’s easier to get a close-up shot there.

He also offers “10 Ways To Become a Better Photographer” on his well-organized website: RussBurdenPhotography.com.

IF YOU GO The Englewood Camera Club meets at 7 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month, except December, at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit, 6400 S. University Blvd., Centennial (south entrance). Guests and new members are welcome. Information: englewoodcameraclub.net.

Tip a glass at Art & Ale fest Visitors to sample brews while viewing, creating art

BREWERIES REPRESENTED

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com An estimated 2,000 beer lovers will tip a glass during the Art & Ale Brew Festival. Now in its 11th year at The Wildlife Experience, on Peoria Street south of Lincoln Avenue near Parker, the festival will gather 50 breweries and 20 restaurants eager to show off their latest concoctions from 6-10 p.m. Aug. 15. The event has doubled in size in the last decade, as interest in craft brews has swelled. There are a few new additions to the menu in 2014, including a create-your-own-art station that will enable visitors to paint on a 6-by-6-inch canvas. Organizers also threw corn hole (a.k.a. bag toss) onto the outdoor activity list, and for the viewing pleasure of beer connoisseurs, an ice sculpture demonstration. The Art & Ale Brew Festival, which draws nearly four times as many attendees as the museum’s annual Art & Wine fest, has become so popular that organizers have to turn away some breweries and cap the number of tickets sold because of capacity constraints, said Christopher Goetz, events and promotions coordinator for The Wildlife Experience. There is good reason for its growth. “It’s an all-around really fun event, and kind of like the last big blowout of summer before the kids go back to school,” Goetz said.

Alaskan Brewing Company, Boulder Beer Company, 20 Mile Tap House, Elevation Beer Company, Hall Brewing Co., Elk Mountain Brewing, Epic Brewing, Living the Dream Brewing, New Belgium Brewing, Odell Brewing Company, Oskar Blues Brewery, Pug Ryan’s Brewery, Upslope Brewing Company, Renegade Brewing Company, Rockyard American Grill & Brewing and many others. “(Attendees) should expect a really super-fun party atmosphere.” Flock of Beagles, a well-known ‘80s cover band from Denver, will play in the museum’s Great Hall, and dancing is highly encouraged, although oftentimes it doesn’t take much encouragement. Being an indoor and outdoor event helps spread the crowd and enables friends to step outside to enjoy a beautiful mid-August evening, Goetz said. Non-drinkers and designated drivers get reduced admission and can grab a refreshing creation from a “mocktail” beverage station. Shirley Temples and Roy Rogers drinks will be available, as will coffee from Caribou Coffee. People who want to satisfy yet another craving can stop by the “sugar shack” area, which will feature Blue Bell Ice Cream and other treats, Goetz said. Those who wish to attend should buy their tickets online at www.thewildlifeexperience.org as soon as possible, as the brew festival is expected to sell out. Tickets for non-members are $40 and members are $35. Door admission will be $40 if any tickets are left. Designated drivers can get in for $25.

“I felt like a weight was being lifted every time something went out the door,” Cristin said. “I felt lighter. … It was not even about the money. We haven’t gotten rich — we’ve lost money. It just feels good — freeing.” Adrian agreed. “It feels like you have a lot of choices — you’re not weighted down by all the possessions.” They might have thought differently about the downsizing if they had children. But their belongings, they say, don’t hold the same sentimental value to nieces and nephews. And being unencumbered by things, they say, gives them a freedom to pursue new passions wherever they take them. “Whatever,” Adrian said, “we want to

do.” But nothing that requires having a lot of stuff. Cristin mentions an old radio ad that described the Mile High Flea Market as a place where the under-stuffed come to get stuff and the over-stuffed go to sell stuff. “I want to be the under-stuffed,” Cristin said. “I don’t ever want to be the overstuffed again.” A little place will be fine. Big enough to hold only basic necessities. But with unlimited room for all the memories. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

Area tennis standout makes noise in college Highlands Ranch’s Sabatka named Mountain West Freshman of the Year By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Hayden Sabatka never lost a tennis match at No. 1 singles during his final two seasons playing for Highlands Ranch High School. Still the two-time Class 5A state champion knew he would be facing stiffer competition against Division I opponents as a member of the University of New Mexico tennis team. Sabatka, Colorado Community Media’s 2012 South Metro Player of the Year, won the Class 5A state singles titles in 2011 and 2012 and was third as a sophomore. He compiled a four-year 82-3 high school record, playing on the varsity level each year. “College is an entirely new level,” confessed Sabatka. “You play really good people every day. I play against my team and they are really good. I play them every day and then I play opponents that are better than me. “The term at New Mexico is that `practice makes perfect’ and it is definitely true because all my practice in college has made me better and it’s mostly consistency and more power with ground strokes and serves.” Sabatka, competing primarily at No. 2 singles, was named the 2014 Mountain West Conference’s Male Freshman of the Year and he also earned All-Conference honors. “I knew what I was going to be getting into,” said Sabatka. “I knew that going from high school to college was way different. Everyone that is playing Division I college tennis knows how to play. You don’t have easy matches, you don’t get a walk through. It was nice to go to college and have these guys that wanted to beat me and could. That’s made me stronger in every area of my game.’’ Sabatka posted a 7-4 record during last fall’s tournament season and went 17-8 during the regular season to finish with an overall singles record of 24-12 during his first collegiate campaign. The 17 wins tied the Lobo record for most regular season victories. “I was pretty happy,” he said. “The fall was just tournaments every other weekend. It was pretty much about getting my feet wet. That

Former Highlands Ranch High School tennis standout Hayden Sabatka won a pair of state titles for the Falcons at No. 1 singles. He has been adjusting to the college game at the University of New Mexico, where he competes at No. 2 singles and was named the 2014 Male Freshman of the Year in the Mountain West Conference. File photo got me ready for the spring and in the spring I just came out strong. “I think I won like 11 in a row, played really well and then lost like one and it was pretty scattered throughout the rest of the season. I just noticed from the beginning of the spring to the end that my game improved a bunch. I just wonder what is going to happen in the fall and next spring. I’m just kind of waiting to see what else I can do, what else I can prove and see how much better I can get.” Sabatka has done a lot on his own this summer, winning the Denver City Open singles crown and capturing the title in the Boulder Tennis Open. “This summer I’ve played pretty well,” he said. “After a year of college and getting better overall, I wanted to be able to come back and show everyone I’ve gotten a lot better

and be able to keep up that level and play well throughout the summer.” Sabatka also received academic recognition during the 2013-14 season. He was chosen for the academic all-conference team and named a scholar-athlete by the Mountain West. He was also selected as a 2014 Intercollegiate Tennis Association Scholar Athlete. “It was kind of hard at the beginning of the fall to be able to situate, be able to wake up, go to class, run to practice and do everything at practice and then run back and maybe have another class, go to my dorm, do homework and go to bed,” he said. “The first few weeks and maybe months were crazy because I was kind of getting used to it. “The spring was kind of hard because there were a little bit harder classes but since I was kind of prepared from the fall it was too

bad.” His scholastic success was gratifying since he didn’t graduate from Highlands Ranch because of tennis conflicts that forced him to miss weeks of school. He graduated from Insight School of Colorado. “That was my online school that I went to,” explained Sabatka. “I went to Highlands Ranch then I dropped out and went to Insight. I wanted to play a bunch of tournaments, not in Colorado. When I traveled and came back, Highlands Ranch wasn’t really a big fan of me missing like a half month of every month. “In the spring I had too many tournaments and my teachers weren’t willing to work with me, so I transferred to an online school to finish high school.”

Valor senior heads to China to throw discus Showalter to compete with Team USA in Youth Olympics By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Haley Showalter’s first taste of International competition was bitter. She hopes for a sweeter taste when she competes as a member of the USA Track and Field Youth Olympic team in the discus at the Youth Olympic Games for 16- and 17-year old athletes Aug. 16-28 in Nanjing, China. Showalter, a senior-to-be at Valor Christian who won the Class 4A State discus championship in May, was among the participants at the Junior World Championships, held July 22-27 in Eugene, Ore. She enjoyed herself despite not faring well in the hammer throw, which ironically is her favorite event. “I didn’t do very well,” said Showalter. “I scratched on all my throws in the qualifiers. That was a little disappointing but despite that I probably had the best time of my life out there with my teammates and watching everybody else compete. “I had never competed internationally. It was a little intimidating so it’s good to have the experience. There was tons of good competition. There were a lot of European girls there and they have been throwing the hammer a lot longer than I have. They have a whole lot more experience. I’ve just got to practice more and get a few more years of experience under my belt.” Rhode Island is the only state that sanctions the hammer throw for high school athletes but Showalter’s heave of 193 feet, 4 inches is the country’s best prep throw this year. Showalter qualified for the Youth Olympics with a personal best discus throw of 153.5 feet at the American Youth Olympic Trials earlier this summer in Miramar, Fla.

Valor Christian’s Haley Showalter, who won the state championship in discus, is headed to China Aug. 16-28 to throw the discus for the United States in the Youth Olympic Games. Photos by Jim Benton “I’m excited that I earned another chance to get another international competition experience,” said Showalter. “I’ve got to train with the discus now and get ready. “Hammer is my favorite event. Mostly my focus goes on the discus right now and we’ll probably start throwing the shot during the indoor season. I’m working on everything in my form. I have a lot to iron out. If I fix my form I could throw 20 feet further. I have a lot to straighten out in my form.” Tom Menting is Showalter’s Dad and coach.

“I’ve been coaching her since she was 11-years-old,” said Menting. “My certification is in sports performance training. I started training her after school just to get her acclimated to movement. She responded very well. “She leaves for China Aug. 13. Every week we’ve been doing conference calls. They are telling the kids as much as it is for the competition and Olympic Games for kids under 18-years-old, they are trying to make it very cultural so they get to see some of China and meet people from other countries.’’

Showalter, who has also trained for seven years as a classical pianist, can’t wait. “I’ve never been out of the country so it will be interesting to see the different culture in a different part of the world,” she said. “I took piano lessons a few years back and I still play but I don’t do it as often. Classical is mostly what I practiced and played. It didn’t fit into my schedule with track and basketball though.” Showalter abandoned basketball two years ago and now the world anticipates her gifts as a track and field competitor.

Arapahoe grad prepares to take golf game to next level at UNC By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sam Marley usually spends a lot of time at South Suburban Golf Course tuning up his game. The Arapahoe High School graduate will continue to polish his game this fall in Greeley for the University of Northern Colorado men’s golf team. “I go to South Suburban almost every day,” he said. “I probably spend three or four hours a day there.” Marley’s father, Todd, is the head professional at the Centennial course but his son has only been playing competitive golf for four years. “I played baseball until my freshman year,” said Sam. “I played golf for fun with my family, but I didn’t start playing golf competitively until my freshman year. “I used to get a lot of help from my Dad but now I’ve met a guy, Steve Beach, at Glenmoor Country Club. I’ve been taking lessons from him for a while now.” The lessons have paid dividends this summer. For starters, Marley went on a late birdie binge to win the Colorado Golf Association Junior Match Play Championship at Bear Creek Golf Club July 18 with a 3 and 1 win over Trevor Glen. “It was definitely the biggest tournament that I’ve won,” said Marley who was seeded 46th. “I made a lot of birdies. I made a lot putts but I was also hitting my irons pretty close to hole so that made the putting a little easier. “I have been playing well this summer. It is a little bit of everything but mostly I’ve been hitting to ball really well.” Marley also qualified to play in the HealthOne Colorado Open with a qualifying score of even-par 70 at Inverness Golf Club on July 9. He shot a 2-under-par 69 on July 24 during the first round of the Colorado Open at Green Valley Golf Course. He finished with rounds of 77, 72 and 75 to finish with a 9-over-par 293 total that left him tied for 62nd place. “It was awesome,” he said. “It was probably one of the favorite tournaments I’ve ever played in. I was pretty ex-

Arapahoe High School graduate Sam Marley will take his golf game to the University of Northern Colorado this fall. Photo by Jim Benton cited after the first day. I thought there was no way that I wouldn’t make the cut. But I kind of struggled through the second day.” Marley’s summer success should help him adjust to collegiate golf at UNC. “A lot of it is I’m way more confident with my putting,” explained Marley. “I just putt a lot over at South Suburban. There are all sorts of drills I’ve gotten from my Dad and a couple of his buddies who are PGA guys as well. “I definitely hope to travel my freshman year at UNC and play as many tournaments as I can.”

Commission gives voice to teenagers Students join South Suburban youth panel, help influence the community By Anna Sheffer

Special to Colorado Community Media Area teens have more ways than ever to influence their community. With the formation of the first South Suburban Youth Commission, eighth- through 12th-graders are represented in the events offered by the parks and recreation district. JoAnn Gould, director of recreation and community services at South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, said she has recognized the need to involve teenagers for a while, but the commission has been more than a year in the making. Gould designed the application with guidance from other communities with similar programs. Each applicant had to be interviewed by members of the staff before being appointed. And being appointed after the application process was rewarding. “It felt kind of like I achieved something I wanted to pursue,” said Bailey Thompson, 14. South Suburban also offers the summer VolunTeen program, which allows teens to go through the job-hiring process and be placed in a volunteer location that will give them an idea of what it is like to be in the workforce. With the addition of the youth commission, teens have more opportunities and incentive to influence the local community. “I’m extremely proud to be able to develop this commission,” Gould said. “This commission, coupled with the VolunTeen program, provides an avenue for teens to do what we do.” The commission was sworn in at a board meeting on July 9, and the first meeting will be held on Aug. 5. Gould said the members will brainstorm ideas for the year at that meeting. The students will be responsible for planning an event aimed at fellow teens, so she values their input. “We’re looking at them as advisers for us,” she said. The members of the commission come from different backgrounds. The eight members are eighth-grader Sierra Kimes; freshmen Ali Abbas, Audrey Koenig, Amelia Rhea and Thompson; sophomores Dong Wook Lee and Sam Hansen; and senior Megan Bolt. But though they are different ages and come from different schools, they share a passion for the community. “This group is inspiring to me because they’re passionate about serving,” Gould said. “This is an imaginative way for them to be engaged in their community.” In addition to volunteer service, the commission also gives members the chance to learn more about leadership and civics. As part of their role on the commission, the members will attend a camp for students who are involved in similar positions of leadership. The opportunity to take on a leadership role is an exciting prospect for these students. “I want to become a better leader in the community and learn more about what makes South Suburban run,” said Koenig, 14. The formation of the youth commission will allow teens to take on a leadership role and be represented in local government. The students’ experiences and insight will be helpful in getting more teens involved as well. Thompson is looking forward to putting the leadership skills she has gained in student council to good use. “One of my goals is definitely to help impact the community and bring ideas to the table,” she said.
