U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman spent some time in Littleton on Jan. 29 to visit Bemis Library, in particular the Littleton Immigrant Resources Center and the new Aging Well Resource Center. The Aurora Republican visited with students

in the beginning English class, conversing with some of them in Spanish. He complimented Mariela Cahow and Kay Wilmesher, the programs’ supervisors, on their work, and Littleton Mayor Phil Cernanec filled him in on the naturalization ceremonies hosted by the center each year. Coffman represents the 6th Congressional District, which includes Littleton, Centennial, Highlands Ranch and Aurora, among other areas. The Littleton Immigrant Resources Center offers English classes, help navigating the path to citizenship, one-on-one mentoring by volunteers

and other resources. Attorneys can charge upward of $500 an hour for the same services LIRC offers on a sliding scale. The Aging Well Resource Center opened last October. It helps seniors find resources in the areas like food assistance, health and medical care, insurance, transportation, family caregiving, employment, veterans’ benefits, education, utilities and volunteering. It hosts a free activity once a month with refreshments, games and prizes. For more information on either program, call the library at 303-795-3961.

LPS safety panel begins to drill down Group plans half-day workshop at end of month By Jennifer Smith

Members of the Littleton Public Schools Safety and Mental Health Advisory Committee began to lay out their priorities on Jan. 28. After hearing during their last meeting from Guy Grace, LPS director of security and emergency planning, the committee’s focus was on security issues. “It takes a community to keep the schools safe,” Grace told the 30 or so members of the committee, formed to tackle questions raised in the aftermath of the 2013 Arapahoe High School shooting. The members — culled from educators, elected officials, mental-health professionals, students and the community at large — will spend the next six months looking for gaps in systems already in place. Emerging themes include whether student resource officers are being used to their fullest capacity, how to stay current on best practices, proactive vs. reactive approaches, and whether and how to engage students. Robert Reichardt, who lost a bid for a seat on the school board last November, expressed frustration with the process, and wants to hear from more students than just the three on the committee. “I feel like I’m supposed to be making recommendations on the safety of our students, and I don’t know what the problems are,” he said.

Photo by Jennifer Smith But some mothers in the group weren’t comfortable with the idea, and moderator Annette Fante, senior consultant at Panasonic Education Foundation, reined him in. “I don’t think you’re ready to start advocating and weighing pros and cons,” she said. The group also spent some time hearing about mental health to prepare to drill down on that topic. “You really can’t talk about safety if you don’t talk about mental health,” said Melissa Cooper, director of special education and student support services. Connie Bouwman, deputy superintendent,

said the district’s mental-health team is a diverse group committed to collaboration and communication. “I personally believe that 80 to 85 percent of our parents and interested community members don’t really know very much about the services we offer, because they haven’t needed them,” said Bouwman. “We tend to know about the needs of our own child.” The group will meet again on Feb. 11 in preparation for a half-day workshop on Feb. 28. It ultimately will make its final recommendations to the board of education before Superintendent Scott Murphy retires in June.

Community approves county direction, survey shows It shows a 20 percent climb in residents’ perception of Arapahoe County government By Ben Wiebesiek

bwiebesiek @coloradocommunitymedia.com The results of the Arapahoe County 2014 Citizens Survey are in, and residents are happier with the performance of the county government than they were six years ago. When asked to rate the overall direction that Arapahoe County is taking in 2014, 71 percent of residents reported in the mail-in survey that the direction was “excellent” or “good,” according to National Research Center Inc., the Boulderbased firm that conducted the survey. NRC asked this question in a 2008 survey mailed to Arapahoe county residents, and 51 percent gave a rating of “excellent” or “good.” Nancy Sharpe, chair of the board of commissioners, described the results as “tremendous,” and she credited Align Arapahoe, a framework designed to measure and manage county performance, for helping to put county efforts in-line with the priorities of residents. “We were very pleased about the 20 percent increase in the approval in the overall direction that the county is taking,” Sharpe said. “We’ve been working in the last number of years on improving our communication, and second of all, on our performance measures, on our performance program and reporting that out to the community. So it’s been a major focus for us the last five or six years, and the last two years I would say we’ve really honed in on it across the county.” The county mailed surveys to 3,000 residents, with a response rate of 26 percent. NRC described the margin of error as plus or minus 4 percentage points. The response rate of the 2008 survey was 25 percent. NRC conducts surveys across the

Sharpe was encouraged that between the two surveys, the ratings for individual county services remained level or improved. “Since the last survey, we’ve been through some difficult economic times across our county, across the nation, and to know that our services continue to be high quality and they haven’t diminished in that time was a good thing to hear,” she said. Respondents ranked service quality for different county programs. Child protection services received the lowest rating — 43 percent rated the services as “excellent” or “good” — and county parks, trails and open space received the top marks — 85 percent rated the services as “excellent” or “good.” “One of the things we continue to hear positive things about is our open space program,” Sharpe said. “That continues to be something that citizens really value and support. We went out there for a re-authorization a couple of years ago to the voters; they overwhelmingly supported that program because they can see the benefits in working with the cities across the county as well as in the

incorporated areas.” NRC compared results from incorporated and unincorporated areas of the county, finding different priorities for residents outside city limits. Residents living in unincorporated areas of the county gave more positive ratings to emergency preparedness and licenses and permits compared to those living in incorporated areas of the county, according to the survey summary. Those who owned their home tended to give higher ratings to child-support services, child-protection services, senior services and property and tax information compared to those who rented. The county plans to conduct another survey in 2016. The board of commissioners and county staff are planning to explore the survey results in greater detail during a February retreat, and Sharpe said this data would help the county to match focus, effort and resources with community priorities. “This is just a great tool for the county,” Sharpe said. “It shows us how we have been doing and how we measured up.” Results for this and prior surveys can be viewed under the “About” tab at the Arapahoe County website, www.arapahoegov.com.

Know thy neighbor, Littleton says Free programs, grants help Littletonites unite By Jennifer Smith

jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com Some steps the city has taken to bring Littleton neighbors together are starting to pay off, says Mark Barons, neighborhood resources coordinator. “When you know your neighbors and you know a little about their situation, you’re less likely to pick up the phone and call the police,” he told Littleton City Council on Jan. 27. Council spent $50,000 last year to launch programs designed to get input for the master-planning process and to help Littleton residents get to know each other better. First, they upped Mark Barons’ hours to full time. The three big projects he’s been working are setting up a free mediation program, planning a series of neighborhood meetings and getting the word out about the website Nextdoor. Nextdoor is like Facebook for neighborhoods. Users select the neighborhood they live in — downtown or Wolhurst Landing, for example — or they can start a new one if theirs isn’t available yet. The company verifies each user’s address by requiring them to enter their phone number or credit-card number, guarding against outside “trolls.” So far, nearly 1,700 Littletonites have joined, representing about 7.6 percent of the city’s households, said Barons. He stresses that while the city is promoting the website and can post to it, staff can’t see the conversations going on in the neighborhoods unless they happen to live there and sign up. The police use it to post crime alerts, and Barons posts upcoming events and other newsworthy tidbits. The city plans to use Nextdoor as one launching pad for a series of neighborhood gatherings that will culminate in what Barons is calling Neighborhood Congress, where representatives from the smaller groups will gather for a citywide roundtable. Those groups will also be eligible to apply for small and large grants from the city for things like National Night Out and cleanup projects. Last year the city gave out 53 small

‘Hopefully we’ll get a representative group from each neighborhood and bring them into the fold.’ Glen Van Nimwegen, Littleton Director of Community Development grants totaling nearly $22,000, and four large grants totaling nearly $27,000. A new grant will be available this year for community art projects. Information gathered from those groups will funnel into the master-planning process to update the neighborhood plans, explained Glen Van Nimwegen, the city’s director of community development. “Hopefully we’ll get a representative group from each neighborhood and bring them into the fold,” he said. Barons hopes that increasing communication among residents will reduce time the city has to spend on code enforcement and bickering neighbors. But it’s unlikely to eliminate them altogether, so there is the free mediation program and its coordinator, Ryan Thompson. He and trained volunteers from the community are available to help Littleton residents and business owners negotiate common disputes among neighbors, like barking dogs, repeated code violations, parking and noise complaints. “They can hopefully move forward with some type of understanding of how they’re going to live next to each other,” said Thompson. For more information on any of these programs, call 303-795-3748 or visit www.littletongov.org. Click on “Departments,” then “Community Development,” then “Neighborhood Programs.”

School district faces mandate crunch LPS wants state, feds to put money into special education By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com There’s about a $13 million gap in the Littleton Public Schools special-education system, say its administrators. “Shame on the state, and shame on the federal government for not providing this funding,” LPS board member Mary Nichols said during the Jan. 29 regular meeting. Melissa Cooper, director of special education and student support services, said the program costs $19 million a year to run. And despite issuing a never-ending stream of new mandates, the state and federal governments kick in only about 29 percent of that, or 13 percent and 16 percent, respectively. Compounding the problem is the national sequester — the mandatory, massive and across-the-board cuts at the federal level that hit in 2013. Cooper said it cost her program 5 percent of the total budget, and now any reserves she had are gone. It all adds up to the fact that 70 percent of special-education funding comes out of the district’s general fund, or about $13 million. The district this year is serving 1,403 kids with a wide variety of special needs, ranging from slight learning disabilities to severe physical limitations, mild autism to debilitating psychological issues. About 6 percent of those kids are in preschool, 38 percent in elementary school, 23 percent in middle school,

30 percent in high school and 3 percent in the program for 18- to 21-year-olds. Thirty-nine of them have needs so severe that they can’t be met within the district, but it’s still responsible for making sure they’re adequately served in the least restrictive environment possible. Whether the kids are in a hospital, detention center or homebound, the district must provide their education, transportation and assistive technologies, among other things. “It becomes quite complex, but our goal is always to get these children back into our schools if at all possible,” said Cooper. Much of Cooper’s budget and staff time goes to making sure the program is in compliance with all of the state and federal mandates. A mandate that kicked in this year, HB 11-277, placed oversight duties that used to be conducted by the Colorado Department of Education on the shoulders of the district. That means that every year, the district is conducting its own fiscal and compliance audits, surveying parents and graduates, coming up with its own improvement plan and more. “The reality is that this model is broken,” said Jack Reutzel, board president. “There has to be some titanic train wreck coming to fix this.” Cooper said that wreck will likely occur in the form of lawsuits, as districts begin to fail under the pressure. “Parents and kids have rights,” she said. “If the district can’t meet them, there are opportunities for lawsuits. … We do our best to comply, but we cannot do this at the risk of instruction.”

Stanish says now is time for new leadership By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lucie Stanish and Jack Reutzel swapped seats during the Jan. 30 meeting of the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education, as Stanish ceded her presidency. “Now I look forward to making motions, asking more questions and worrying less about facilitating,” she told her fellow board members. Stanish explained that she only intended to be president for a year, to give the board members elected in 2013 a chance to settle in before taking over leadership. She and Mary Nichols, both elected in Stanish 2007 and re-elected in 2011, are term-limited and unable to run in this year’s November election. Adding to the tide of change is the retirement of Superintendent Scott Murphy, effective June 15. Stanish said it will be important to have experienced leadership on the board as a new superintendent learns the ropes. Nichols nominated Reutzel to assume the role of president, and he was unanimously supported. “Our ability to work as a team has been awesome,” said Nichols. “I think he will facilitate, lead and manage well as a president.”

Reutzel is a 20-year-plus resident of Bow Mar and is that town’s city attorney. His son graduated from Littleton High School and his daughter attends Heritage. He says his kids have been happy, engaged and fulfilled during their time in LPS. “The board has been really constructive the last several years, and they have a great working relationship,” he said while campaigning in 2013. “Clearly, they’re doing something right. … I don’t think there’s an overhaul necReutzel essary, but you always want to tweak. Just because we’re great now doesn’t mean we need to sit on our hands for the next 10 years.” He feels the board’s job is to help allocate available resources in such a way as to best let the teachers teach and the students learn. “I think we’re all leaders,” he said upon taking his new chair. “The board of education works as a unit. We’re collegial, we’re compassionate and we’ll continue to work for the good of the students.” Stanish, who owns Downtown Dinners in the Broadridge Shopping Center, remains on the board as its assistant secretary. The other members thanked her for her leadership during what’s been a difficult time for the district. She was voted in as board president on the night before the Arapahoe High School tragedy. “You have been an incredible leader,” said Kelly Perez. “You have watched over us.”

Five suspects held in sexual assault Englewood police arrest four juveniles, one 19-year-old and search for a fifth teen By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com

Englewood police have arrested Daylon Benjamin Hill, 19, and four juveniles as suspects of sexual assaulting an Englewood High School freshman on Jan. 25. Police also are searching for a fifth juvenile suspect. Hill is being held in the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Center. His bond was set at $50,000. All the juvenile suspects are Englewood School District students. Police are not releasing any further information about those suspects, Police Investigator Kevin Sage said. The investigation began when the police received a report of a missing juvenile about 8:41 p.m. Jan. 25. About the same time, officers contacted the runaway girl in the 600 block of Englewood Parkway. The girl told police she had been sexually asn thesaulted when she attended a party earlier in the day at a house in the 3200 block of evereSouth Galapago Street. t, but The girl was taken to the hospital for hey’retreatment, and she submitted to a sexual e en-assault examination. The examination ree in aport stated there was significant trauma d, theconsistent with a sexual assault, according rans-to the arrest affidavit. mong

‘We are concerned by this situation and want to help the police, plus we want to help our students because we are dedicated to the safety and well-being of all the children attending Englewood Schools.’ Julie McGinley, Spokeswoman for Englewood Schools There were 10 to 12 people at the party and there was under-age drinking and marijuana use, police said. One resident who lived in the same neighborhood and refused to give her name said there was a lot of noise and music coming from the party on Jan. 25. Investigators talked to a number of people as they tried to identify who was at the party, according to the police report. The detectives developed information about the six individuals suspected of being involved in sexually assaulting the girl. From Jan. 25 through Jan. 26 police arrested the 19-year-old, two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old. The investigation led to the arrest of a fifth suspect, a 15-year-old who was arrested Jan. 28. Police are searching for a sixth juvenile suspect. The victim told officers she was intoxi-

cated when she laid on a trampoline in the back yard and consented to have sex with one of the juveniles, according to the Hill arrest affidavit. However, the affidavit said a short time later three juveniles and Hill began to have sex with her against her will. The juvenile suspects and Hill left, but the juveniles returned and again sexually assaulted the victim. When everyone left, the girl went into a tent, but two juveniles came in and continued the sexual assault despite the girl repeatedly telling them no and telling them to stop. When the attackers left, the girl got dressed, found a phone and called a relative for help. The affidavit said she later called the police. The district attorney’s office at the 18th Judicial District has filed charges against all the suspects who have been arrested.

Englewood Police stated no additional information will be released because the case is still under investigation. “This is an ongoing investigation and we are cooperating fully with Englewood Police,” said Julie McGinley, spokeswoman for Englewood Schools. “We are concerned by this situation and want to help the police, plus we want to help our students because we are dedicated to the safety and well-being of all the children attending Englewood Schools.” McGinley said counselors and Callen Clark, director of Student Services, met with the students at Englewood High School, Englewood Middle School and Englewood Leadership Academy. “Callen and the counselors urged students that if they were concerned about the situation to please share their feeling with a trusted adult,” she said. A letter outlining the event has been sent home to the parents of the students of the three schools, McGinley said. The letter signed by Englewood School Superintendent Brian Ewert stated it was an effort to control misinformation about the sexual assault incident. A paragraph outlined basic details of the incident. The letter also stated, “If your student was at this party, knows someone who was there, or knows of students who have been affected by this event, we have counselors and other trusted adult should they need support or need to share their feelings.” There also was attached information about how a parent can help a child manage his or her distress.

Littleton declines county’s election help City goes it alone for the first time since 2007 By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com For the first time in recent history, the city of Littleton will manage an election without the help of Arapahoe County. The ballots are slated to go out in the mail on Feb. 9 for the March 3 special election concerning urban-renewal issues. But the county is opposed to the city’s efforts to revive Littleton Invests for Tomorrow, the urban-renewal authority, and the two entities are in mediation. But City Manager Michael Penny and Matt Crane, county clerk, agree that the reason the city decided not to use the county’s services this time around has nothing to do with that dispute. Crane said it boiled down to his standard practice of verifying signatures on all of the ballots. It’s not required by state law, but Crane said it’s the best practice. “I believe it is an important safeguard and

have committed to use this practice for any mail-ballot election that my office is involved with,” said Crane. “After considering this option and reviewing the statute, the city did make the decision to decline the county’s proposal and conduct the election on its own.” On Jan. 16, the city’s election commission voted to contract with Integrated Voting Solutions to print, stuff and mail ballots to every registered Littleton voter. Acting City Clerk Colleen Norton said it will cost at least $34,000. The last time the city ran its own election was in the great Walmart debate of 2007. “There were no issues that arose from that municipal election,” read the minutes of the Jan. 16 meeting. “Chair Norton told the commission she is fully confident that with the resources she has, the running of the election will not be a problem.” Not everyone is so sure. Carol Brzeczek, an activist with the anti-urban renewal group Your Littleton, Your Vote, notes that there will be extra expenses in staff time and to hire election judges. “If the county has a vested interest, then so does the city,” she said. “It’s a double standard.”

Scammer claims to be cop Littleton police say man has struck at least four times Staff report The Littleton Police Department is warning the public not to fall for a scam in which a man identifies himself as an LPD officer. The department is aware of at least four times the unknown man has called people around the metro area and identified himself as Mike or Michael Crawford with Littleton police. He left a call-back number, now disconnected, of 720-3254926. The Littleton Police Department does not have an employee by that name, nor any phone extensions with the 720 area code. While some cell phones issued to individual officers might start with a 720 area code, it is not standard procedure to

YLYV petitioned Initiative 300 onto the ballot, spurring the election in the first place. It would require voter approval of virtually any urban renewal plan. Members of Littleton Strong then asked city council to place a mitigating measure on the ballot, Referendum 2A, which would ban the use of eminent domain or condemnation in a plan. The Arapahoe County League of Women Voters invited representatives of both groups to present their arguments during a Feb. 12 forum, but canceled it after YLYV backed out. “While they initially agreed, they changed their decision,” said Marlu Burkamp, outreach coordinator for League of Women Voters. “As it is the league’s practice to feature representatives from all sides of an issue at forums concerning ballot and election issues, we felt it necessary to cancel the forum.” Littleton Strong, the pro-urban renewal group, immediately issued a statement expressing shock and disappointment. “This forum was a great opportunity for Littleton voters to get informed about the issues on this March 3 ballot from both sides,” they write. “Promoters of the anti-urban renewal Initiative 300 say they want Littleton

voters to be engaged and informed — so why back out of this significant informational event for voters to discuss and understand what they’re voting on?” The answer, say YLYV supporters, is that they didn’t have the time, energy or people to prepare. “We have worked our butts off for three months getting almost 4,000 signatures to get our issue on the ballot,” said Paul Bingham. “This compares to our opposition having to do nothing except write up their ballot issue and have council put it on the ballot.” They note that Littleton Strong has raised more than $37,000, much of it from real-estate and business groups from around the state. Compare that to YLYV’s $1,400, and Bingham says it’s a real-life David and Goliath battle. YLYV took a unique approach to spending some of that money. Their yard signs promote both ballot issues. “We don’t care what happens to the other one,” said Bingham. “To make it simpler, we’re just saying vote yes on everything. Plus, it gets us away from the `negative’ moniker we get so much.”

OPEN FOR BUSINESS

leave those numbers for members of the public to call back on. Cmdr. Trent Cooper, department spokesman, said on Jan. 28 that police were still searching for the caller. “It’s a pretty involved process to get phone records, and the phone companies usually take weeks to get back to us with the information we are seeking, so there probably won’t be much movement in the case for a while,” he said. If you receive such a call, or have received one in the past, call your local police agency or the Littleton Police Department at 303-794-1551 to report the incident. Under no circumstances should you agree to meet the person or send any payment for an alleged violation or missed court date. If you receive a call from anyone claiming to be from LPD and you doubt their credibility or identity, call 303-794-1551 for verification.

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com In its ongoing efforts to convince more downtown Littleton property owners to join the voluntary historic district, the Historical Preservation Board is proposing to rebate 100 percent of the city’s share of their property taxes. Board member Mike Price estimates it would cost the city about $57,000 if all of the 53 owners within the district opted in. HPB suggests making the rebate applicable to existing members of the district as well as the current holdouts. “A lot of them don’t really understand,” board chair Margi Clute said during city council’s Jan. 27 meeting. “We need to go back to them and say there are a lot more advantages than disadvantages.” Most historic districts simply blanket an area whether the owners like it or not, and that was an epic point of contention in Littleton in 2005 as city and business leaders struggled to define what the district would be. The opt-in compromise was finally reached, and today, about 57 percent of the property owners have joined. There are 53 owners in the district, which is limited to Main Street from Santa Fe Drive east to the Littleton Courthouse, and 30 have

opted in so far. Benefits of joining include eased parking requirements, access to the city’s grant program for facade and other improvements, and being qualified for new state tax credits of up to $1 million per rehabilitation project. The Colorado Job Creation and Main Street Revitalization Act allows property owners to get up to a 25 percent tax credit on projects that help preserve historic buildings as viable commercial entities. It will provide $5 million in tax credits in 2016 and $10 million in 2017 through 2019, when it’s set to expire. “Many of Colorado’s traditional main streets are at a tipping point,” writes Rachel Parris, a project manager with Colorado Preservation Inc. “Many buildings are vacant, their historic facades in decay and their local economies in desperate need of investment and revitalization.” While the bill was written with areas damaged by the 2013 floods in mind — Estes Park, for example — it’s not restricted to them. Consider Littleton’s former Opus building on Main Street, now empty for nearly three years. Mayor Phil Cernanec said he’d like the board’s proposal to include the caveat that the rebates go toward improvements to the property. Clute agreed, and said they would add it to a proposed ordinance for council’s consideration in the near future. “Some properties are changing ownership so, slowly but surely, that’s when things will start to happen,” said Councilmember Jerry Valdes.

Choose what to fly, and then fly it high

We have a very exciting event that will create a very unique opportunity here in Colorado this year. The World Cup Championships will be held in Vail and Beaver Creek and we will be hosting guests from all over the country and all over the world. Now even though you may not be into skiing or ski racing, and you may not even live in the Vail Valley, it is still a pretty amazing event that will allow the racers to showcase their skills in an unbelievable venue. And it will also provide each one of us with an opportunity to showcase our special gifts and skills. As the competitors and guests arrive from all over the world, we will see jackets, shirts, hats, pins, banners and flags celebrating their home countries. We will see and hear our international guests who have come to watch the event as they speak in their languages and in some cases do their best to interact with us in English. Many of them will also be very fluent in English. This will be a very exciting time for Colorado. And as I thought about this, I thought about the fact that guests will not just be going to Vail and Beaver Creek — many will undoubtedly come early and stay longer to experience Denver and other communities. mith And as they do, we have that unique op-

portunity to showcase who we are and why Colorado is such an amazing place to live. So which flag will you be flying? Maybe there is a country that you come from or your ancestors came from and where you still feel a sense of patriotism. Maybe there is an athlete you like to watch and root for. But as I think about what other flags we could be flying as we host so many guests, I think about the flags of friendship, hospitality, customer service, compassion, kindness and so many other positive messages that we could make sure that our guests see in us and experience through us. Then I thought about it a little further and wondered what flag it is that people see when they see me all year long. What flag do they see you flying all year long? You see, our flag is like our brand, people associate it with

how they see us and how they see us in action. How they see us as we treat others and interact with the community. So it’s not just about the World Cup Championships going on in our state, it’s about our brand and the flag that others see hanging over our homes, our businesses, and over our heads. It could be those same flags of friendship, hospitality, customer service, compassion and kindness as mentioned before. Or perhaps it could be other flags, like flags of honesty, integrity, hard work, commitment, love, forgiveness, chivalry and fun loving. And just like throughout the year when we can clearly see college flags and professional team flags waving from garages and cars demonstrating fans’ love and loyalty to their teams, people can clearly see our brand, and who we are from a mile away. So which flag are you flying? What is it that you hope people will see in you? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we allow others to see all the good in each of us, it really will be a better than good week.

The four times I ran (successfully) for the Littleton City Council, I met with anyone who wanted to talk with me. I met with business groups, men’s and women’s groups, civic organizations, church groups — anyone who would listen. I wanted people to know me and what I stood for. How disappointing now to see that those backing Initiative 300 in the March 3 special election refuse to appear before the voters in a forum sponsored by the highly respected League of Women Voters. Perhaps they canceled because they feared their initiative would be revealed as both irrational and damaging to the community. When you can’t get good information from the organizers of an initiative — just vote no. Susan Thornton Former mayor of Littleton

Don’t treat grandma like a dog

The latest bill before the Colorado House would legalize physician assisted suicide. In cruder terms, “Grandma, why not consider suicide and end your suffering.” But she deserves to draw every last

breath naturally, just as you do. If there wasn’t an inherent value of life, then why do people go to the ends of the earth to find life-saving treatments for everything from heart valve malfunctions to cancer enduring chemo, lifesaving operations and the like? Why? Because every life has value, even if that life is painful. Suffering is a part of life, in case you haven’t noticed. Just because grandma’s pain is great does not mean her life has less value. When my mom was at the end of her life, I had the great opportunity to return, in a unique way, the love she had given me all my life. To be there in her final moments and minister to her needs, was a time I will always treasure, difficult thought it was, for both of us. To take that time away from families in the form of legalized suicide is to deprive grandma’s family the opportunity to minister to her and return love in a special way. When my dog was dying, we had her “put down.” It was sad, but she was a dog, not my mom, and while the dog’s life had value, it was not on

equal footing with my mom. No one wants to see a person suffer, but suffering is a part of the human condition. Every life has value and the end is in God’s hands and should remain there. Spend those last moments with grandma, however difficult they may be, reciprocating love and enduring it together. Leave euthanasia for the pets. Kitty Nierling Centennial

Life as a club swim parent

Eleven years. Eleven years as a parent of club swimmers. It comes to an end in August when my youngest daughter begins school at the University of Northern Colorado. She will swim there, and if all goes well, graduate in four years. My oldest is at Colorado State, studying business and swimming. What does the end of this 11 years mean? We no longer have to consult swim meet schedules to determine if we can schedule something. No more rising at 5:30 on weekends to pack snacks; check equipment (goggles, suits and

Gatorade). No more sitting on uncomfortable benches for five hours to watch your kid compete for approximately 10 minutes. We have watched the girls endure all types of coaches — good, bad, nice, mean, personable, standoffish and banned. Some had more than one of the aforementioned traits. We have seen countless tears, cheers, made cuts and missed cuts. We have spent tens of thousands of dollars over the years for suits, travel, club expenses and equipment. The girls, what did they get? They learned sportsmanship, time-management skills, fitness and lifelong relationships. They trained harder than just about any other known sport. They put in eight practices a week, including two a days requiring them to rise at 4:30 on school days. Will we miss it? Are you kidding? I would do it all over in a splash. My only regret is this chapter is coming to an end and not just beginning. John Salanitro Highlands Ranch

W W I I g e n e r a t i o n’ Red Cross volunteers saving the fading memories

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lt. Col. Ken Yaphe recently retired from the Air Force, and now he’s giving back to those who marched before him — and getting an earful in return. “It’s an education, and I feel like I’m contributing,” he said. Yaphe is volunteering with Mile High Red Cross on the Library of Congress Veterans History Project of the American Folklife Center, on a mission to “collect, preserve and make accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans

and better understand the realities of war,” according to the Red Cross website. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, approximately 492 World War II veterans pass away every day in the United States, more than one death every three minutes. “The sad fact is that we are at the twilight of the World War II generation, and within a few short years, their stories will be lost forever,” said Chuck Montera, a publicist for Holly Creek Retirement Community in Centennial. That’s where Yaphe spent Jan. 27, visiting with some of the 50-plus World War II-era veterans who live there and recording their stories. The videos will live in perpetuity at the Library of Congress, and will be given to the vets to share with

family and friends. To be included in the project or to volunteer, contact the American Red Cross at 303-607-4785. Yaphe says that without fail, the veterans he’s interviewed have been modest about their service, whether overseas in battle or on American soil, keeping the gears of war oiled. “It’s tempting for the public to believe that the only experience in war is in the infantry,” he said. “But this is giving exposure to the machine that supported the tip of the spear.” Colorado Community Media spent some time with four of the Holly Creek veterans and what follows is a glimpse into their stories.

Picking up the pieces

Peeling his share of potatoes

Seaman First Class Robert Stong spent most of his World War II service at Naval Station Norfolk in Virgina, picking up pieces of planes that practicing pilots crashed. “One time, I recall, the pilot was lying on the wing getting a suntan when we got there,” said the native of Layfayette, Ind. — “a little drinking town with a football problem,” as he calls it. He never saw an injured pilot, as they were taken away before he and the team he led got to the crash site. Once there, they’d load the plane onto a trailer — whatever was left after the nearby farmers got enough aluminum to fix their chicken

Keith Burnham, 88, joined the service two days before his 18th birthday in December 1944. He was deployed in June 1945 and ranked as a fireman first class in the Navy, assigned to the USS Burleson. Aboard the ship, Burnham was assigned to the boiler room with the job of regulating the amount of oil to the amount of air to make a smoke screen, he said. “Everything was eight hours on, and eight hours off,” Burnham said. And if the eight hours off fell during the daytime, there were other chores, such as cleaning, to be done. “I did my fair share of peeling potatoes.” Most of the ship’s assignments came

coops — and head on down the highway back to the base. One guy would have to stand on the plane’s tail to raise power and phone lines up high enough to pass underneath. It didn’t always work, said Stong, and they’d joke that they were probably yanking people’s phones right out of their walls. “It was a lot of fun,” he said. Today, Stong appreciates the discipline he gained from serving in the military. “It does a lot of good for a lot of kids,” he said. — Jennifer Smith

two at a time, he said, and included two trips to retrieve discharged troops returning home. Eventually, the USS Burleson was assigned to take animals to nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll. There were all sorts of animals, Burnham said, and the ship became known as Noah’s Ark. Burnham described his experience in the service as fortunate. “The war was about over before I got into any real battles,” he said. He added that he’s grateful he “got to join the Navy rather than being drafted in the Army.” — Christy Steadman

Playing with the dogs of war ‘Y’ was his lucky letter

Herbert Bowman, 86, joined the military on his 18th birthday on June 21, 1946. His reason for joining was to get the education package as part of the GI Bill. A person received two months of schooling for each month of service, Bowman said. “That was very attractive to me,” he said, and he later went on to earn a degree in nuclear physics. Bowman, a private in the Army Corps of Engineers, was sent to Los Alamos, N.M., a secret site where the atomic bomb was being designed and built. Although Bowman had always been a “techy,” he said, his responsibility was to train war dogs, specifically, the K9 unit that provided area security.

In 1944, Storekeeper First Class Paul Youngren missed being deployed with the USS Lexington by just a few letters. “Luckily for me, they started with the beginning of the alphabet,” said Youngren. Instead, he stayed at Pearl Harbor, overseeing the Navy’s shopping center. “I felt fortunate to be in a supporting role and not fighting,” he said. Pearl Harbor was still a grim scene, he said, with damage from the Japanese attack still evident and the USS Arizona still in the harbor. “They eventually had to give up trying to recover the bodies,” said Youngren. “They’re still entombed in the hull of the ship.” Even though he missed serving on the

“It was a rather unique service,” Bowman said, and “it was about as good a duty you could ask for —playing with dogs for five or six hours a day.” There were different kinds of war dogs, which included messenger and casualty dogs. All were highly trained animals, but Bowman’s dog, King, a German shepherd, was a silent scout dog, he said, which were the highest trained and expected to perform equivalent to today’s police dogs. After the war ended, Bowman got to sit in on lectures from the country’s greatest scientists, and ironically, went back to Los Alamos to work on nuclear weapons development. — Christy Steadman

USS Lexington, it played a large role in his military career. It carried him from San Francisco to Pearl Harbor, zigzagging all the way to avoid possible enemy submarines. “I had no problem with being seasick,” he said. “That was not the case for everybody, though.” Later, he helped decommission the aircraft carrier in a San Diego port. He was in charge of the storerooms, and collecting items that could be used elsewhere. It gave him the chance to watch pilots practice landing on the ship. “This is quite a sight to see,” he said. “As a young kid, it was exciting.” — Jennifer Smith

Guerra to host design event Hotel Monaco Denver will host the free launch party for local Denver fashion designer and “Project Runway All Star” winner Mondo Guerra’s new collection from 5 to 8 p.m. Feb. 7 in the hotel lobby. Guerra’s new collection, MONDO, will feature textural novelty sweater knits and versatile separates. The new collection will also coincide with the launch of a new logo and website for the designer as well. “Keeping the collection all black and white reminded me why my ideas are so colorful: because I dream in color.

See red at gallery in Littleton Color is theme of exhibit at Depot

IF YOU GO The Depot Art Center is at 2069 W. Powers St., just north of the old courthouse and Buck Recreation Center. The opening reception for “The Color Red” will be held from 4-6 p.m. on Feb. 12, a Thursday (a change from the usual weekend times). Gallery hours: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. 303-795-0781.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “The Color Red” is the theme for the latest show at the Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave. — in Littleton’s circa 1891 bright red Santa Fe Depot. The exhibit opened Feb. 4 and a public reception is planned from 4-6 p.m. on Feb. 12. Well-recognized Littleton painter rita derjue is the juror and will exhibit a red painting of her own. According to publicist Peggy Dietz, Littleton Fine Arts Guild members, who operate the Depot, will give special recognition to City of Littleton employees who helped make re-

cent improvements to the historic building. It was originally restored with grants and donations in the Bicentennial year, 1976, and is owned by the City of Littleton and operated by the Littleton Fine Arts Guild. Other news at the gallery: • Artist Cheryl Adams will offer drop-in drawing classes every First Friday through 2015 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. A fee of $15 includes drawing paper, drawing supplies and a light

snack. Geared for adults, but older children who can behave as adults are welcome. Adams will feature a group lesson on specific drawing techniques — easy to learn, even if you “can’t draw.” Individual coaching will follow, with free time to practice. Participants may bring their own supplies. (No discount.) Drawing paper will be supplied to take home and drawing supplies will be on hand for use at the Depot. Surrounding local art on display at the Depot will supply inspiration, and Dietz points out the free parking and numerous local restaurants nearby. • Painter Jennifer Riefenberg continues oil painting classes on Mondays from 1-4 p.m. for all skill levels, with individual instruction. She sets up a still life at each class, or students may bring photos to work with if they wish. Information about the artist at: artofsunshine.com.

“Red” is a painting by rita derjue of Littleton, who is the juror for the Depot Art Gallery’s upcoming exhibit “The Color Red,” which will open on Feb. 12 with a reception. Courtesy photo

Member Spotlight – United Launch Alliance

Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., (Jan. 20, 2015) – A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket carrying the third Mobile User Objective System satellite for the United States Navy launched from Space Launch Complex-41 at 8:04 p.m. EST today. The MUOS-3 spacecraft will ensure continued mission capability of the existing Ultra High Frequency Satellite Communications system that will provide improved and assured mobile communications to the warfighter. “The ULA team is honored to deliver this critical mission into orbit for the

U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force with the support of our many mission partners,” said Jim Sponnick, ULA vice president, Atlas and Delta Programs. “The MUOS3 spacecraft is the heaviest payload to launch atop an Atlas V launch vehicle. The Atlas V generated more than two and half million pounds of thrust at liftoff to meet the demands of lifting this nearly 7.5-ton satellite. Today’s launch was the 200th Atlas-Centaur launch – a very sincere congratulations to the many women and men responsible for the incredible success of the Centaur upper stage over the last 5 decades!” This mission was launched aboard an Atlas V Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) 551 configuration vehicle, which includes a 5-meter diameter payload fairing along with five Aerojet Rocketdyne solid rocket motors attached to the Atlas booster. The Atlas booster for this mission was powered by the RD AMROSS RD-180 engine and the Centaur upper stage was powered by the Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10C-1 engine. This is ULA’s 1st launch in 2015, the 52nd Atlas V mission and the fifth Atlas V 551 launch. MUOS is a next-generation narrowband tactical satellite communications system designed to significantly improve

Tickets cost $18, or there is a “Meet and Greet” dinner, with preferred seating, at $50. For tickets, call the Love INC office, 303-798-0037.

Calendar of Events For a complete calendar of South Metro Denver Chamber events and for more information,

ground communications to U.S. forces on the move and around the globe. ULA’s next launch is the Delta II Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission for NASA scheduled for Jan. 29, 2015, from Space Launch Complex-2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The EELV program was established by the United States Air Force to provide assured access to space for Department of Defense and other government payloads. The commercially developed EELV program supports the full range of government mission requirements, while delivering on schedule and providing significant cost savings over the heritage launch systems. With more than a century of combined heritage, United Launch Alliance is the nation’s most experienced and reliable launch service provider. ULA has successfully delivered more than 90 satellites to orbit that provide critical capabilities for troops in the field, aid meteorologists in tracking severe weather, enable personal device-based GPS navigation and unlock the mysteries of our solar system. For more information on ULA, visit the ULA website at www.ulalaunch. com, or call the ULA Launch Hotline at 1-877-ULA-4321 (852-4321).

Arapahoe girls net victory Defense, accurate shooting earn Warriors 79-62 win over Cherokee Trail By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Swish. The sound of the three-pointer hitting nothing but net opened the Jan. 28 game and set the tone as the Warriors girls basketball team posted a 79-62 league win over Cherokee Trail. Arapahoe hit its first five shots from the field to quickly establish a 12-2 lead and built on the advantage for the victory. “Things went well for us tonight,” Warriors Coach Jerry Knafelc said. “All the girls played well against a good team. We played good defense and shot the ball well tonight. It was a good win for our team.” With the victory, the Warriors are in third place in the Centennial League with an overall season record of 11-4 and a league record to 5-2. The team faced a challenge Jan. 30 when they traveled to meet Grandview, but came away with a 59-56 win against the No. 2 team in the league. Arapahoe was then at home against Mullen Feb. 4, on the road Feb. 6 at Eaglecrest and play a home non-league game Feb. 9 against Palmer. The Arapahoe players got thing going their way early in the Jan. 28 game. The opening three-point shot was followed by two steals that triggered layups as Warriors repeatedly stepped into the lanes to pick off Cougar passes and won most of the battles for loose basketballs off the backboard. Arapahoe made good use of their offensive possessions as they shot 53 percent from the field and their field goals included 10 baskets from three-point range. They spread the ball around and nine players scored points for the Warriors. “I am pleased with our play tonight,” the coach said. “We are a very young team with only two seniors on our roster. At times this year we have played well, but other times, we didn’t.” On offense, the coach likes good guard play to push the pace, triggering drives to the basket. However, his players usually also shoot pretty well from outside, he said. The focus of the defense is to put pressure on the player with the ball and defensive success leads to the team’s success overall, he said. Senior Jennah Knafelc paced the Warrior attack with 28 points that included four three-pointers. She also hauled down seven rebounds and made five steals. Teammate Katie Crowley scored 11

Knafelc led the team in scoring with 28 points as the Warriors posted a 79-62 win. Photos by Tom Munds points, Macy Zigler contributed 10 points to the winning effort as did Annabelle Brewer and Elianna Kearby who scored eight points each. Knafelc credited her success to teammates. “I guess it was being in the right place at the right time,” the senior said. “I got really great passes, I got some good looks and I hit the shots. I shoot pretty well from outside, but I don’t like to limit myself to outside shots because I like to drive to the basket too.” As the season is entering the home stretch, she is focusing on not turning the ball over and playing good defense, she said. “I got a little foul happy tonight,” she said. “I want to try to clean that up a little so I can play tight defense without the fouls.” Knafelc likes the fast-pace style the Warriors play. The up-tempo play makes the game fun, she said. The senior focuses on basketball and doesn’t play any other sport at this time. “I don’t have any individual goals for the season,” she said. “I guess my goal is to help our team to get as far as we can and play well together. We are young but our chemistry is getting there, and I think things look very good for us as we go into the final weeks of the season.”

Sisters power Heritage’s turnaround Duo are ringleaders as Eagles have more wins than past two seasons combined By Jim Benton

Haily Cechini is having fun this season. So is her big sister Baily. Wins have a way of making any girls basketball season a lot more enjoyable. So far this season the Heritage girls basketball team has won more games than in the past two campaigns combined. Haily Cechini, a 5-foot-9 sophomore, and Baily Cechini, a 5-11 junior, have been the ringleaders behind the resurgent Eagles. Heritage is 9-9 after 18 games which is a big improvement from the 2-21 and 4-19 records the Eagles had the previous two seasons. “They are good shooters and good kids,” said Heritage coach Stephanie Rogers of her starting sisters. “It’s a combination of things, but absolutely they are a big part of the resurgence. We’ve got a better team, but they’ve been a huge part of it with basketball knowledge and skills.”

Haily, who was the team’s top scorer as a freshman with an 8.0 average, is the Eagles leading scorer this season. She is averaging 11.8 points a game and her 34 steals also leads the team. “I don’t feel like I have to carry the load,” said Hailey. “I like to do my part the best I can.” Baily, who sat out last season after undergoing knee surgery, is second on the team in scoring with a 7.8 point per game average and leads the squad with 111 rebounds. “Everyone has their part and everyone knows their own role,” said Baily. Tiffany, the girls’ mother, admits that basketball talk and competition often comes home with her daughters. “Most of the time they talk about basketball but girls stuff too,” said Tiffany. “Yes, they are very competitive at home.” Haily acknowledged the competiveness with her sister but insisted it just goes only so far. “We go at it sometimes, but we’re best friends,” said Haily. The Eagles played at Highlands Ranch Feb.3 in a Continental League game and travels to Chaparral Feb. 6 for another league contest.

Could T his Get Rid Of Knee Pain Once And For All... Without Drugs, Shots, or Surgery? Now, in Littleton, CO, one doctor is helping local residents with knee pain live more active, pain-free lives. Do You Have Any of the Following Conditions? • Arthritis • Knee pain • Cartilage damage • ‘Bone-on-bone’ • Tendonitis • Bursitis • Crunching & popping sounds Living with knee pain can feel like a crippling experience. Let’s face it, your knees aren’t as young as they used to be, and playing with the kids or grandkids isn’t any easier either. Maybe your knee pain keeps you from walking short distances or playing golf like you used to. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your knee hurts and the pain just won’t go away!

My name is Dr. Ron Spallone, owner of Alternative Physical Medicine of Colorado. Since we opened, we’ve seen hundreds of people with knee problems leave the office pain free. If you’re suffering from these conditions, a new break through in medical technology may completelyeliminate your pain and help restore normal function to your knees.

Finally, An Option Other Than Drugs or Surgery The Cold Laser is an outpatient, non-surgical procedure, often used in physical therapy and sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. It offers non-invasive treatment to promote healing for those who suffer from pain in muscles, nerves, and joints, like that associated with chronic knee pain. This same laser is used by professional sports teams including the New York Yankees and Cincinnati Bengals.

It Promotes Rapid Healing Of The Injured Tissues This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury damage. This leading edge technology has an impressive success rate of returning patients to work, sports and competitive activities, as well as everyday life. Patients treated with the Cold Laser often show a higher level of function, both during and after the treatment period. The therapeutic laser provides a tremendous alternative for those facing surgery.

Could This Non-Invasive, Natural Treatment Be The Answer To Your Knee Pain? For the First 25 Callers Only, I’m running a very special offer where you can find out if you are a candidate for Cold Laser therapy. What does this offer include? Everything I normally do in my “Knee Pain Evaluation”. Just call and here’s what you’ll get… • An in-depth consultation about your problem where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case. • A complete neuromuscular examination. • A full set of specialized x-rays, if necessary. • A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free. • You’ll see everything first hand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, like it has been for so many other patients. The First 25 Callers Only can get everything I’ve listed here for only $35. The normal price for this type of evaluation is including x-rays(if necessary) $250, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer. Remember what it was like before you had knee problems; when you were pain free and could enjoy everything life had to offer? It can be that way again. Don’t neglect your problem any longer – don’t wait until it’s too late.

Here’s What Patients Say...

“I played catcher in college, so my knees got really beat up, to the point that it affected my daily activities, like bending over to put my shoes on. I am a strength and conditioning coach, so being able to move and bend over is must. I noticed a difference after my very first treatment, and since continuing treatment, I’m able to lift, bend, and most importantly, teach others how to do so every day.” -Shane Miller, Littleton, CO Age 38
