Clarity Commons: A tribute to Claire Friends of family plan an acre of peace on Arapahoe High campus

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Bob Lembke can’t talk about Claire Davis without tearing up.

“She just had a certain spark to her.

Most young children do, she just had a lit-

tle different something,” he said on “They’re still grieving deeply May 29. the loss of their daughter and the Lembke had known Claire since loss of their future plans with her,” his two children, Adrienne and he said. “They’re holding firm in Corinne, befriended the two Davis their message of forgiveness, and children, Alexander and Claire, in developing their new normal day preschool. The two sets of parents by day. … It changes the future, hit it off, too, and they all became and they’re slowly coming to grips Claire Davis lifelong friends. with that and understanding what After the Dec. 13 shooting at Arapa- that means. They’re trying to make sense of hoe High School that ultimately claimed the senseless.”

Claire’s life, Lembke knew he had to do Lembke says Jason Dunkel, the director something to help his friends through their of business services at Littleton Adventist grief.

Hospital who served as a buffer between

the Davis family and the onslaught of the outside world, played a key role in bringing the family to forgiveness as quickly as they were able.

“My wife and I forgive Karl Pierson,” Michael Davis, Claire’s father, told the world on Jan. 1, during a memorial service at the National Western Stock Show Complex.

Pierson is the student who shot Claire moments before killing himself in the Arapahoe High School library.

It is with that attitude of grace that Claire continues on Page 6

Babies on board at museum

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com Baby season has begun at Littleton Museum with the arrival of adorable twin lambs born on the morning of May 27, much to the surprise of elementary-school kids who happened to be visiting at the crucial moment.

“We told them they didn’t have to watch, but they were OK with it,” said museum employee Sebastian Fritz.

The mama sheep is very protective of her new little girls, herding them behind her and growling at visitors who linger too long.

“Mom did a good job,” said Fritz. “Two is always a test.”

Fritz said the lambs will get named once museum staff gets to know their personalities a little better.

That’s how Matilda the pig got her name, too.

She woke up from a deep sleep when she heard Fritz’s voice and lumbered over to him for some cuddle time. Though many of the farm’s pigs end up as somebody’s favorite breakfast meat, Matilda will be kept and

Though she’s just a year old herself, she will hopefully have her first litter of babies sometime in August.

Another sure sign of spring is when Henry the peacock starts flashing his tail feath-

ers for the peahens.

He’s in full swing right now and will lose his longest and prettiest feathers soon, so an early morning visit to the chicken coop should be on Littleton residents’ to-do list soon.

Mental health is front and center in Littleton Public Schools’ 2015-16 budget discussion.

While nobody mentioned the December shooting deaths at Arapahoe High School, it was evident that everyone in the room during the May 29 meeting of the board of education agreed that more resources need to go toward spotting kids who are in trouble before tragedy strikes.

In March, Nate Thompson, whose position as director of support services has been converted to director of emotional and social support, said the district needs a universal screening tool for those issues first and foremost.

“It’s about psychological safety,” he said. “What do we do for kids when they’re in that place when they might hurt themselves or others?”

To that end, the board gave initial approval to adding $800,000 to mentalhealth services next school year, to include a dedicated clinic and the equivalent of 10.5 full-time mental-health workers to be distributed all levels, from the elementary schools on up.

LPS staff is working with Arapahoe/ Douglas Mental Health Network on how best to implement a mental-health clinic within an existing district building but has not yet decided which one. When kids are sent to outside programs like ADMHN, whether by the district or a court order, per-pupil funding follows them.

That cost LPS about $650,000 last year.

LPS efforts pay off for state School districts benefit from working together

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton Public Schools’ lobbyists thanked the district for taking the lead on making sure every district in Colorado would have a little extra loose change in their couch cushions next year.

“This board was more present in the state Legislature this session than any other,” said Mike Beasley of 5280 Strategies during the board’s May 29 meeting. “You help give voice to other districts around Colorado that didn’t feel like they had one.

Some of the most important work was outreach. Your delegation, Republican and Democrat, were champions for what you

asked them to do, because they were hearing from the voters, and that is invaluable. … We injected some common sense into the debate.”

In February, Superintendent Scott Murphy wrote an open letter that was signed onto by nearly every superintendent in Colorado. The letter urged legislators to restore the “negative factor” and to do so with no mandates as to how the money could be spent.

Negative Factor 101: Amendment 23 mandates that the state pay a base amount per child to school districts, which must rise in accordance to the rate of inflation. It applies a formula based on variables such as size, local cost of living and the number of at-risk kids, in an effort to more equitably distribute the funds. But in 2009, the Legislature decided the amount each district gets based on those factors does not have to increase, just the base.

“The Legislature took these funds directly out of our classrooms,” wrote Murphy. “The only responsible action is for the Legislature to return that funding to our classrooms.”

Ultimately, a $110 million investment was agreed on by legislators and educators to buy down the $1 billion negative factor. Murphy thanked Beasley for his advice during the negotiations.

“Compromise is fine, but sometimes you’ve got to say compromise is for tomorrow,” said Murphy.

But board members were wary of any requirements that might be attached to the anticipated return of the funding. Much of the nearly $12 million that voters approved in the 2010 mill-levy override has been spent in an attempt to fulfill unfunded mandates that continued to come down from the state even as the economy was crashing, taking the housing market down

with it — the market upon which education budgets are based via property taxes.

Between 2008 and 2010, LPS cut its budget by about 10 percent, or about $14 million, which resulted in 200 lost jobs and two closed schools, not to mention larger class sizes and eliminated programs. Without the mill-levy increase, Murphy estimates about $4 million more would have been slashed.

But the 2014 Legislative session brought with it some breathing room, with proposed new mandates shot down and funding increased for many programs.

Stacey Lestina of Colorado Consulting said this session was the first in many years that the Legislature did not pass an expensive new mandate or require extensive program changes for school districts.

“It felt good to build a coalition and be proactive and get the word out,” said Lucie Stanish, board president.

Littleton’s antique fire equipment leads last year’s Fire Muster Parade into downtown Littleton. The same truck will lead this year’s parade when the muster comes to town June 14. File photo

Parade kicks off day of displays, demonstrations

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The wail of sirens and clang of bells will announce the annual Fire Muster Parade in Littleton.

This marks the 29th year for the event sponsored by Mile High Hook and Ladder, a Brighton-based nonprofit made up of antique fire-truck enthusiasts.

This year’s event, in keeping with tradition, begins with the parade that rolls into action from Broadway and Littleton Boulevard at 9 a.m. June 14.

The parade heads south on Broadway to Rafferty Gardens Avenue, turns west, then goes south on Bannock Street to Littleton Boulevard.

The vehicles head west on Littleton Boulevard through the downtown area to Curtis Street before turning south as they

head for the end of the parade at Arapahoe Community College.

Littleton Fire Department’s centuryold 1914 Federal Chemical Truck will lead the parade. The remainder of the parade is made up of firefighting and rescue equipment of different ages, sizes, shapes and colors.

When the parade is over, vehicles will remain on display in the ACC parking lot.

There will be vendors selling food and other items, plus there are free activities such as fire-truck rides and volunteers helping children spray targets with a fire hose.

“This is such a cool event,” Lane Bumbgartner said as she checked out the poster about the muster. “I grew up in Littleton and we always came to the fire muster.

Now I bring my kids because they all love fire trucks. My son has fire-truck sheets on his bed.”

The Centennial resident said she has invited a number of neighbors to the muster.

She said most of them didn’t know about the event but several seem interested and said they probably would attend.

“I urged them to go because it is fun for the parents and for the kids,” she said.

Signs of things to come — or go to Mental Health Continued from Page 1

City scoping out new look for downtown signage

is another possibility, said Diane Doney, the district’s chief operating officer.

“I think you will see that next year, we will want to expand this program,” she told the board.

In March, Melissa Cooper, director of special education, said rising numbers of behavioral issues in LPS reflect national statistics. The district had performed 79 suicide assessments at the time; in the full 2009-10 school year, that number was just 39.

That year, eight students were screened after threatening harm to someone else; this year, there had already been 41

by March.

Currently, there are only about 23 spots for psychologists throughout the district, and six for social workers. Plus, principals decide how their personnel budgets are distributed, so there’s no uniformity as to which school has which specialists.

Cooper said in March that to establish equity, she’d like to assign funds specifically for mental-health professionals in every school.

She’d also like to expand programs that already exist, like the programs for kids who have been expelled or who are at risk of expulsion, and special education for kids with learning disabilities.

There’s a practical side to investing in mental health, noted Cooper. “The more we affect the whole child, the better they’re going to do,” she said. “It impacts achievement.”

The board will hold a public hearing and take its final vote on the 2015-16 budget on June 26.

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Watch for obvious signs of change downtown — big red and yellow ones, perhaps, or ones that sway in the breeze.

The city has hired Kristin Cypher, owner of C+B Design, to create new directional and gateway signs for downtown.

She presented three options to Littleton City Council on May 27, which she said were designed to be very different from each other.

The idea is that certain elements from each might be more popular than others, and she can blend those into something that, hopefully, most people will like.

“You want to have a space that feels like it has a palette, a theme to it,” said Cypher.

The most traditional design capitalizes on the Littleton Courthouse cupola, perhaps the most iconic architecture in the city.

The second is more modular and emphasizes red and yellow, Littleton’s theme colors.

The most modern choice features kinetic sculpture at the east and west gateways, where there are existing brick planters.

The traditional design seems to be the trending favorite on OpenLittleton.org, the city’s opinion-gathering website.

“I think Concept A best reflects the feel of Littleton,” wrote one person. “Besides the historic, simple and clean look, the focal point of the signage, the cupola, is probably what most residents (the ones who have been here for a while, anyway) envision when thinking of Littleton. Who doesn’t travel east over the railroad and light-rail tracks and look up at the beautiful, historic courthouse on the hill? We need to keep as much of that historic feel as we can.”

Cypher expects to have a final proposal ready in June. It will include street-name signs, gateway art, directional and informational signs, and destination identifiers at places like Town Hall Arts Center, Littleton Station and trail entrances.

It will include the entire “football” area, generally bordered by Arapahoe Community College, Santa Fe Drive, the courthouse and Geneva Park.

Side-street business will likely benefit from signage pointing people their way, notes Cypher.

“You can’t assume people are going to know how to use downtown,” she said. Students at the college might venture downtown for lunch if they knew what was there, for example, or Santa Fe commuters might pop in for happy

This is the most traditional type of signage for downtown that designers presented during Littleton City Council’s May 27 study session. Courtesy rendering hour.

“A great district brand not only highlights key attributes of a downtown, it also creates an emotional bond with residents and visitors, and provides business and property owners with a solid foundation for marketing and promotion,” reads the project overview.

Hospital PR team recalls darkest day Two served as voice on behalf of Davis family

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jason Dunkel and Lauren Brendel are relatively new to the south metro community, but last December, they found themselves thrust into the middle of one its most horrific days.

“When it happened, I texted a friend and my parents, and I said, `This is the worst day of my professional career,’” remembers Brendel.

She is the marketing manager at Littleton Adventist

Hospital, and Dunkel is the director of business services.

They’d both been there for just about a year on Dec. 13, 2013 — the day the ambulance arrived with Claire Davis.

What followed for them was a frenzy of staying strong enough to deal with the onslaught of local and national media such as neither had ever experienced, interspersed with stolen moments alone to shed the inescapable tears.

“You had to take those moments when you needed them, and then do what needed to be done,” said Brendel.

“I had to try and separate my personal feelings from what I needed to do on behalf of Claire and her family.”

While it’s Brendel’s everyday job to deal with the media, Dunkel feels like it was providence that led him to stand beside the Davis family, to be their objective voice.

“My background is ministerial, but now I’m on the business side of things,” he said. “I was just in a position to be there for them during their time of need. It was kind of amazing. It just was meant to be. I can’t put it any other way. … So I canceled my schedule, and all I did was basically try to protect them from the media and all the outside noise. I said, `Let us take all that off your plate so you can focus on your precious daughter, who is fighting for her life.’”

In another stroke of fate, both Brendel and Dunkel had participated in an active-shooter drill the month before with local law enforcement, first responders and other agencies.

“We essentially went through everything that happened a month later,” said Dunkel. “By the time Claire got there, everything was lined up and ready for her, which we felt good about, because we gave her the best chance we could.”

Brendel said about 300 staffers attended a remembrance ceremony the hospital hosted for them on Jan. 3.

“It profoundly affected the staff,” she said.

“Even the kitchen staff did everything they could to make sure they had even the smallest comforts,” said Bob Lembke, a Davis family friend, recalling that they even made and delivered Christmas dinner for the family, all on their own time.

Dunkel made special note of the nurses who tended to Claire on that first day.

“People don’t realize what our nurses went through,” he said. “It’s a very difficult conundrum, pouring heart and soul into caring for the innocent victim, and the thought of having to give the same kind of care …,” he said, letting the sentence trail off.

Lembke finished it for him. “...to the person who caused the harm. A life is irretrievably shattered, and, though they would have done it, imagine trying to save the person who did the shattering,” he said.

It never came to that. Karl Pierson, a senior at Arapahoe High School, died in the school library from a self-inflicted gunshot wound less than two minutes after firing the shot that ultimately killed Claire Davis. She died on Dec. 21.

After Brendel sent out the press release with that devastating news, she got sympathy messages from reporters who were as upset as she was.

“I had to try and separate my personal feelings from what I needed to do on behalf of Claire and her family,” she said.

She said it’s still hard for her to drive past the school, but she and Dunkel have found some peace helping to make Clarity Commons a reality on its campus. They envision a quiet, reflective garden where students can find some solace. Lembke, too, is a driving force behind the project.

“The group of people that coalesced was providential,” said Lembke. “You helped the Davis family get to the forgiveness condition as soon as they did.”

Claire Continued from Page 1

Dunkel, working with Michael and Desiree Davis and Lembke, conceived of Clarity Commons, a peaceful respite on the AHS campus that they hope to unveil on Claire’s birthday, Aug. 16, two days before school starts.

Lembke stresses it will be a tribute to life, not a reminder of tragedy.

“It should be about life and vitality and joy, and not about death. So this is not a memorial. We hope it’s a place of mindfulness, to ponder where you are, who you are, what’s your place in the cosmos. To be aware of the moment you’re in...”

Claire is only mentioned by name once throughout the plaza, on a pillar with the following Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

Littleton Public Schools donated an acre at University Boulevard and Dry Creek Road, and agreed to maintain it for at least 35 years. Littleton Adventist Hospital and its foundation kicked in $50,000 each, and another $75,000 has been raised from private donations. Local businesses are donating services, and Lembke hopes lots of people will take the opportunity to leave a message for the future

by buying a brick paver for the walkway.

“We’re really looking for members of the community to put their stamp on this place,” he said. “Kids hopefully will leave messages for others or for their future selves. …

Every one of them, to some degree, has been changed by this. Some profoundly, some positively, some maybe not.

It’s been a consistent drumbeat about how to deal with the worst side of life.”

They hope Clarity Commons will be a place where kids can feel safe and at peace.

“It would be great if kids could have a place to go and have time out, almost like a mental-health checkup,” said Dunkel. “… It’s the beginning of good. It’s just the beginning. I think the Davises are going to have a lot to say at some point, so this is just a springboard. I think this project is helping get them through, and is part of how they’re maintaining. The fact that a silver lining even exists from this scenario is a miracle. But they’re trying to find all the good that can come from something so tragic.”

Lembke believes that ultimately, Claire’s purpose in life might have been to get others to think, to love, to care, to forgive.

“We want this to be a history lesson without being preachy, to say that tolerance and forgiveness is the normative expectation for an Arapahoe High School student,” he said. “It’s an attempt to connect with the future.”

Splash Dash remembers a life cut short Parents hope to prevent drowning accidents Staff report Drennen O’Melia’s parents want everyone to remember their son not with sadness, but with the same joy he showed in his short life.

“While we will always grieve the loss, he left our hearts filled with lessons about how to live life to the fullest and to love with no boundaries,” Bill and Melissa O’Melia wrote on the website for the Drennen’s Dreams Foundation, formed after their 12-year-old son drowned during a pool party in Centennial in 2010.

Last year the foundation hosted the inaugural Splash Dash 5K in Drennen’s honor, with proceeds benefiting drowning prevention and other children’s causes.

Thanks to its success, the second annual event is set for June 8, beginning and ending at Arapahoe High School.

“Neighbors along the route put out sprinklers, slip-n-slides and other fun and cool activities to keep the runners hydrated,” reads the website.

“We are expecting 900 runners at our event and we already have a ton of vendors and corporate sponsors, including Children’s Hospital,” said Jennifer Darling, president of the foundation and senior vice president of philanthropy at Children’s. “Of course our larger goal is to promote the mission of Drennen’s Dreams Foundation and raise awareness for water-safety issues. This is obviously an important time of year for getting that message out and, ideally, preventing another tragic drowning this summer.”

A jury last year ruled in favor of Drennen’s parents, in a lawsuit alleging that inattentive lifeguards at Southglenn Country

Club failed to notice that the boy had been underwater for at least five minutes before he was found at the base of an unstaffed lifeguard chair.

Bill O’Melia spoke publicly about his son for the first time during a recent training session for new lifeguards in Highlands Ranch.

“After four years, there are good days and bad days,” he said. “There’s not been one single day since June 6, 2010, that we don’t think about Drennen. All of this tragedy because of the choices made.”

He implored the new hires to be evervigilant on the job.

“You are the last, best defense against drowning incidents,” he told them. “Fair or not, this is the world you’ve chosen to participate in. Patrons are counting on you.”

Registration for the Splash Dash 5K is $40. For more information, visit www.drennensdreams.org.

the city’s Shopping Cart and Omnibus programs, which are celebrating 40 years of service in 2014, become more self-sufficient after city council directed them to explore alternate revenue sources.

Community leaders came together to get the job done, including former Mayor Susan Thornton and Dan Burnham, who recently retired from his position as executive director of the South Metro Housing Authority.

Many of the riders live in facilities operated by South Metro Housing, like Amity Plaza and Bradley House.

Since 1974, the Omnibus has been delivering seniors and the disabled to and from grocery stores, shopping centers, hair salons, doctors and other appointments.

It’s a call-and-ride service that only travels within city limits, with a few exceptions for medical visits.

The Shopping Cart, on the other hand, has a set route and schedule. It picks up passengers from senior-housing facilities in Littleton and drops them off and picks them back up from various local shopping centers.

Both services are free, though donations are accepted and valuable to keeping the four buses on the road.

Elam said most riders are happy to donate what they can.

But more support is needed, so LTN got the ball rolling with a spaghetti dinner fundraiser last June at the Libby Bortz Assisted Living Facility. During the May 27 council

“It’s so they can do things instead of being locked up,” Tex Elam, LTN chair, told Littleton City Council on May 27. “When you lose your driver’s license, the world really changes. It can be a very lonely situation.”

Group seeks independent thinkers Common Sense Citizens working on core message

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com John Brackney might have left the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, but that hasn’t slowed down his efforts in the political arena.

“America is so messed up that unless we have a nonviolent revolution, our children and our grandchildren will have a declining quality of life,” he told a meeting of the Common Sense Citizens, a grassroots effort he spearheaded along with Brian Vogt.

Longtime friends and cohorts, Brackney succeeded Vogt as the president of the chamber. Brackney left there in March and headed to marketing firm Webolutions, and Vogt heads up Denver Botanic Gardens. But they’ve stressed that Common Sense Citizens has never been a chamber effort, but was born of their personal frustration with the debilitating effects of today’s extreme polarization in politics. Joining them as organizers are Andrew Graham, John Vachalek and Patrick Pratt.

“Instead of sending problem-solvers and negotiators to Washington, we often send adherents and pledge-signers, people who refuse to compromise for fear that they will lose need to keep a job that hcS h g i Hthe a tsupport s i V n i a tthey nuoM iR atsiV niatnuoM 58501( has become less respected and less impactful,” they write oni R their Meetup page. “It is p ,se dir eh t ed no wonder we are in a mess, one which will nalhgiH ees dna grind the genius of America into medioceF eht pota

meeting, Burnham presented Mayor Phil Cernanec with a ceremonial check for the $8,000 raised at the dinner.

“Thank you for recognizing the need in the community,” said Cernanec.

Altogether, LTN has raised $22,000 in donations, less than 10 percent of the $321,000 it takes to keep the buses running each year.

LTN is planning a variety of ways to raise community awareness about the program, including participating in this summer’s Western Welcome Week parade and another spaghetti dinner, set for July 25.

Tickets are $25, and sponsorships are available. For more information, visit www. littletongov.org, and click on “Community.”

Take some steps for uncommon results This is not a “hot off the press” news flash, but rather a simple yet powerful reminder: “Common sense is not always common practice.” You have certainly heard this before, and I have absolutely heard it myself and even repeated it in classroom training, keynote speeches, and from time to time have shared it in this column over the past few years.

What I wanted to do in this column is take this principle to the next level.

Recently I shared how important fundamentals are to success in both our personal and professional lives. However, now let’s talk about not just common sense, but those lesser-known best practices that actually deliver uncommon results.

For a few of us, we are exactly where we want to be in life. We are settled, content, happy and may have no desire or need to look for anything that elevates or disrupts our splendid contentedness.

Now for the rest of us who truly desire

“uncommon results,” we need to continue to follow the blocking and tackling fundamentals that have gotten us this far, but now we need to look beyond the basics and proven fundamentals and search out the advanced ideas and best practices to help propel us as we continue on the upward journey of our success.

So where do we go or how do we search for those best practices that can add value to our lives? Here are three ideas that have helped me over the years and that you may also find useful and

results.

Again, if you are content and happy with where you are with the achievements of your goals and dreams, that is awesome. But if you have ever dreamed of going higher, further, or faster and truly desire more in the way of achieving uncommon results, apply all or at least one or two of the above best practices and see if you too can be one of those people whose achievements shout out “uncommon results.”

Whether you are in the land of contentment or on the road to uncommon and better results, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And as we appreciate where we are or pursue uncommon results, it really will be a better than good week.

$50 billion fund would boost infrastructure Last month, I had the honor of attending the grand opening of Denver’s Union Station. The new transit hub pays homage not only to the miners and pioneers who — more than 150 years ago — envisioned our city’s bright future, but also to our parents and grandparents who had the foresight and generosity to build the highways, waterways and energy infrastructure that helped make the American economy the largest in the world.

Unfortunately, we have not had the dignity to maintain the assets that they built for us, much less build the infrastructure our children will need to compete in a 21st-century economy. At a time when other nations are constructing cuttingedge road, rail, Internet and education capacity, our public infrastructure investment has dwindled to half of what it was 50 years ago.

The Highway Trust Fund, the funding vehicle that pays for most of the bridge, highway and road construction in this country, is expected to run out of money this summer. Last year, the U.S. received a D-plus letter grade on the Infrastructure Report Card from the American Society of

1. Identify the person, group, or team that you believe excels in the area you are trying to advance in or improve.

Upon connecting with them, invite them to coffee or arrange a call or meeting and just ask them what they have found to be the differentiators or best practices that have helped them to achieve uncommon results. You will be amazed to find out just how open and willing they will be to share their success story with you.

2. Get out of your comfort zone and try something new. Even as you are enjoying the benefits of your success or achievements, push yourself to try something new that will stretch you and push you to the next level.

3. Look for biographies, articles, stories, and case studies of people, companies, or groups that achieved greatness or exceeded expectations by doing something out of the norm or beyond common practices to realize uncommon

I am opposed to flavored coffee because it is flavored. Coffee has to be black, and strong enough to clean my paint brushes.

Entertainment options were very limited when I was a kid. I don’t know what it would be like to have had a time limit on video games, because we didn’t have video games. We had Buffalo Bob Smith.

Now I have more dislikes than likes. I admit it. No es bueno. But I know myself, and what is and isn’t beneficial. The Cheyenne Frontier Days would not be beneficial. It would do me harm.

The rodeo part of Frontier Days is something I couldn’t watch. I know that, so I know enough to stay away. I helped out at the Highlands Ranch Rodeo a few years ago, and said to myself, “Never again, Smith.”

Crabapple count complete: 6,727 Group fully expects to claim world record

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com If there had been a prize for guessing the number of crabapple trees in the city of Littleton, Larry Borger would not have claimed it with his estimate of 2,000.

As it turns out, there are 6,727.

“I was astonished how many flowering crabapple trees there are in the city when you actually begin looking for them,” said Borger, a former city manager. “What started 40 years ago as a city beautification program for street rights of way has mushroomed with community support. Literally thousands of property owners have planted them on private property over the years.”

By Borger’s calculations, that’s one crabapple tree for every six and one-quarter residents.

“The number is staggering,” said Cole Hancock, the Eagle Scout who organized the effort to count them all in his quest to get Littleton in the Guinness Book of World Records. “It’s really great to see the community come together for this project, and I am excited to see if we can really break a world record.”

Hancock recruited 16 volunteers who spent a total of nearly 97 hours combing the streets for the brightly flowering trees that are becoming a symbol of the city. He’s has been tending to the trees since 2011, when he took on the cause for his Eagle Scout project.

That’s the same year signs went up marking the city’s Crabapple Route, conceived of by former Mayor Vaughn Gardinier. It was his idea 45 years ago to line Littleton’s streets with the hardy, colorful crabapple trees not just to make them pretty, but to give the city something unique.

Gardinier died in 2012, but his wife, Mary, still sits on the board of LCTI with Borger. She says he was hoping to arrange for horse-drawn carriages to someday trot the trail.

Hancock and others from Littleton Boy Scout Troop 361 planted about 30 new trees along the seven-mile Crabapple Route in April, adding to the 100 they’ve planted since 2011. These days, they plant trees that flower but don’t bear fruit, making for a less messy flourish of beauty each spring.

“The Littleton Crabapple Trail is currently working to get the city council to approve the acknowledgement of these numbers to become the `Crabapple Capital of Colorado,’ or maybe even the nation,” said Hancock.

To that end, they drafted a resolution for

It reads, in part: “Given all the positive public attention to its beautification program and participation by countless individuals and groups, and given that no other municipality in Colorado can match that effort, Littleton

The fund could be used to finance the construction of roads, highways, ports, canals, schools and other infrastructure projects — urgently needed projects like the Arkansas Valley Conduit in southeast Colorado or the widening of Interstate 25 north of Denver, to pick just two examples.

The act would also encourage publicprivate partnerships, which will help stretch the fund’s financing to cover more high-priority projects. Even by the most conservative estimates, these projects would create thousands of jobs across the nation.

Look for ballots soon

Active registered voters in Arapahoe County who are affiliated with the Democratic, Republican or American Constitution parties will receive a mail ballot for the June 24 primary election.

Voters may return their ballot with 70 cents postage, or deliver it to one of 20 drop-off locations around the county by 7 p.m. on Election Day. Six drop-off boxes will be open around the clock for added convenience.

“Ballots will be mailed beginning June 2 to active voters who are affiliated with a major political party,” said Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane. “We encourage our citizens to vote and return their ballot before Election Day in order to avoid potential lines at Voter Service and Polling Centers or ballot drop-off boxes.”

The primary election determines which candidates will appear on the Nov. 4 general election ballot and vie for local, state and congressional seats.

This bill is not a cure-all. It is not a permanent fix to the insolvency of the Highway Trust Fund, nor will it take the place of MAP-21, both important legislative vehicles that Congress needs to address in the next four months.

Whether it’s an interchange reconstruction in El Paso County to improve traffic flow, or a road-widening project in Alamosa County to improve visitor access to the Great Sand Dunes, this bill will provide a valuable tool in the toolbox so that local mayors, county commissioners and city councilors don’t have to wait on a dysfunctional Washington to get moving on muchneeded infrastructure projects.

As Denver’s Union Station shows, we’re a nation and a state that builds big things, and builds them to last. Each generation has labored to leave more behind for their kids. Ours should be no exception. This commonsense, bipartisan legislation will help us take a step in that direction.

Elder-abuse law brings first charges Staff report

In the first case under Colorado’s new elder-abuse law, five men have been indicted on charges of scamming seniors in a home-repair scheme.

“One man paid in excess of $24,000 for egregiously substandard work,” Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said in a written statement. “In another instance, a 94-yearold woman was swindled out of $8,300 for work that was

structurally terrible and worth no more than $1,521.

“Evidence was developed alleging that when confronted, these men often became abusive,” Suthers added, “and in one instance, Rickey Gene Fite caused pain and injury to an older gentleman after knocking him to the ground with his truck.”

Fite has been taken into custody, as have his father, Rickey Dean Fite, and Rodney Jackson.

The two other men indicted, Michael Sullivan and

you in mind

Emanuel Broadway, were not immediately apprehended.

The public is asked to call 911 or the Boulder District Attorney’s Office at 303-441-3700 with any information on their whereabouts.

The five men are accused of traveling throughout Colorado and the West, representing themselves as legitimate contractors. Instead, say prosecutors, they ran a “fly-bynight” operation that defrauded and stole from seniors, sometimes using intimidation and violence.

Operating in mostly rural areas of Arapahoe, Boulder, Delta, Jefferson, Larimer, Mesa, Montrose, Ouray and Weld counties, the men reportedly would approach homeowners unsolicited. They allegedly would offer a great deal on roofing or concrete work, claiming they had leftover materials from a nearby job.

“If a price was even quoted, it was low and enticing,” says a press release from Suthers’ office. “However, sometimes work began without the homeowner’s permission.

Always, though, the final price was hugely inflated in relation to the nature of the work done.”

Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett worked closely with Suthers on the case. “Protection of seniors from those who commit fraud and prey upon them financially has always been a priority for my office,” Garnett said in a statement. “This case involves allegations of particularly predatory behavior.”

Under the new law, Colorado seniors are legally considered to be at-risk adults, so tougher penalties apply. In addition, the indictment charges the five men with a range of crimes including money laundering, felony theft and tax evasion. If convicted, all five could face up to 24 years followed by five years of mandatory parole.

Never allow an uninvited contractor into your home to “look around” or make an “inspection.”

Never get pressured into making an immediate decision whether to hire a contractor to do any work on your home.

Before spending any significant amount of money on home repairs, get bids from at least three different contractors.

Check their history with the local Better Business Bureau.

Demand a written contract that spells out when the work will be started, the quality and type of all materials to be used, and when the work will be completed.

Insist on making partial payments under the contract as specific work is completed to your satisfaction.

Require your contractor to obtain mechanic’s lien waivers from all suppliers and subcontractors.

Weather delays children’s farm opening

REASON #12:

Sheep are among the pets that kids can get to know at the Belleview Children’s Farm. File photo

Belleview Park attraction ready for visitors soon

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Belleview Children’s Farm in Englewood didn’t open as planned May 24, and likely is still a couple weeks away from opening.

Recent wintry weather is to blame as the spring snow has forced delays in the cleanup and preparations necessary before the farm will be ready to entertain the public.

“We didn’t suffer any farm damage from the snow, rain and hail,” said Joe Sack, the city’s recreational services manager. “But the weather did make it impossible to do so many things we need to get the farm ready to open.”

The Belleview Children’s Farm has been a popular attraction since it opened in Belleview Park in August 1967. Over the years, the farm area has been expanded, the barn has gotten new siding at least twice, and it

has been painted a number of times.

When the farm is in operation, visitors can walk through the red barn to look at the small, glassed-in areas for animals including rabbits and hamsters. Nearby, the barnyard is temporary home to a petting zoo-like area containing a variety of animals ranging from birds to cows, goats and pigs.

“Once we have all the preparations completed, we will be ready to bring in the animals,” Sack said. “Remember these are farm animals and not used to being the center of attention and being touched. So, we like to bring the animals in about 10 days before we open to let them recover from the move and get used to their new surroundings.”

He said the best estimate is the farm will be ready to open by mid-June.

“In the past, we have had to delay the farm opening for a few days,” he said. “But this is the longest delay in memory. We are working to get everything ready as quickly as possible so we can open the doors so parents and children can enjoy a visit to the Belleview Children’s Farm.”

A look at the West

Weight-loss season gets glitzy kickoff The fourth season of ABC’s reality series “Extreme Weight Loss” debuted May 27 with a red-carpet reception at The United Artists Denver Pavilions Theatre downtown.

Charita, the Colorado Springs contestant, was guided on her yearlong weightloss journey by Anschutz Health and Wellness Center’s Dr. Holly Wyatt along with other participants who spent the first three months of their quest at the center in Aurora.

Wyatt, alongside fitness specialist Chris Powell, was the guiding force behind steering participants toward their yearlong goal of safely losing up to half their body weight.

ABC will air 13 two-hour episodes of the hit show locally from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays on Channel 7.

Charita, who is featured with Oklahoma resident Ty in the first episode, and Wyatt attended the red-carpet premiere along with more than 200 community and Anschutz medical campus leaders and CEO/ executive producer JD Roth.

During the run of the show, Wyatt is writing a blog at www.thedenverchannel. com/entertainment/extreme-weightloss-medical-director-holly-wyatt-blogsabout-charita-ty-weight-loss-journey.

Greenwood Village show highlights works of area painters

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com “Four Perspectives” is an exhibit of artworks by four experienced area painters: Lora Witt, Peggy Judy, Martha Hepperd and Victoria Ekelund. It will be displayed through June 27 at Elements 5280 Gallery in Greenwood Village.

An opening reception is planned from 6 to 8 p.m. June 6, where visitors can meet the artists.

“The concept behind the exhibition was to showcase these talented artists whose work is so different from one another. And it’s this diversity in how each artist executes their work that has shaped a strong show,” said gallery director George Rentz.

The subject matter may overlap, but method and approach make each artist unique as they produce intimate landscapes, contemporary Western images, watercolor batik and urban plein air landscapes/cityscapes.

Witt grew up in Colorado with a deep interest in the natural world — Western botany and geology. She received her training at Colorado State University, the University of Denver and the Art Students League of

Denver. Her website says: “The mundane part of nature that shies from notice; given a second glance presents its beauty. This is what I paint.”

Peggy Judy, a Colorado native, started painting as a child and continued through her high school and college years, when she attended Colorado State University, where she concentrated on illustration.

Judy, who lives in Broomfield, is married to an equine veterinarian and raises, breeds, trains and sells warmblood sport horses.

Her paintings reflect her interest in horses and wildlife.

Victoria Ekelund of Denver describes herself as an oil painter and impressionist painter who specializes in cityscapes, still life, figurative works and landscape paintings. She also accepts commissions to portray a special place, person or pet from photographs. “When I create a piece of art, I first block in large basic shapes. Then I look for where I want movement within the piece, where I want my viewer to go,” she writes.

Dr. Martha Heppard, of Centennial, who paints in a complex watercolor batik technique on rice paper, grew up in Honolulu and attended Harvard for undergraduate study and University of California School of Medicine and UC-Irvine. In 2004, she began to study oil painting with Molly Davis and then watercolor with Rick Brogan.

She has added Boris Shoshensky and Kevin Weckbach as instructors and currently teaches the watercolor batik technique to others.

Thrillist (www.thrillist.com), a national website that has an opinion on all things food and drink-related in the U.S., has bestowed “bests” to three Denver eateries.

Included in The 21 Best Southern Restaurants Outside of the South is Tom’s Home Cookin’, 800 E. 26th Ave., a Denver favorite for Southern fare.

Thrillist recommends the fried catfish paired with green beans and fried okra.

“The name here says it all — this is home cooking, and even if you’ve never met Tom, you’ll be begging to be adopted so you can inhale this instead of whatever you’re hacking at your house.”

Sweet Action Ice Cream, 52 Broadway, was included in Thrillist’s 21 Best Ice Cream Shops in America. Here’s the scoop: “What you’re ordering: Pocky and Red Bean if you’re feeling interesting, Milk Chocolate if you’re feeling boring. Our man in Denver tried every single one of the flavors at Sweet Action, and, although he didn’t care much for vegan Maple Walnut or Vanilla Rose, he can vouch for nearly every other flavor as being worth at least several samples. But as sexy as Salted Malt Butterscotch and Cinnamon Roll sound, the champion of the taste was a simple milk chocolate described as `a scoop of goodness ...’”

Panda saga comes to screen in 3-D National Geographic film shown at museum

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Starting on June 6, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science will present a new National Geographic nature film, “Pandas: The Journey Home,” which sounds like a fine way to start a summer vacation focused on exploration.

It tells a hopeful story of the effort to save these charismatic creatures, which are extremely endangered, with only about 1600 left worldwide.

The film, directed by Nicholas Brown, was shot in China at the Bifengxia Panda Base and the Wolong National Nature Reserve — in 3-D, which made shooting terribly difficult, due to the weight of the cameras.

After decades of successful captive breeding, the reserve has hit a target of 300 giant pandas.

The next step is to reintroduce breeding animals to the wild in the reserve.

The 40-minute film, presented by National Geographic Entertainment, was made after the filmmakers were given access to the Wolong National Nature Reserve, with the support of the Chinese Wildlife Conservation Association and the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda.

It can be hoped that this success story provides a model for other megafauna threatened by man-made factors: expansion and habitat destruction.

Perhaps other governments will be inspired by the Chinese example.

Filmmakers recorded birth, nursery

if you go “Pandas: The Journey Home” will be shown at 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., with additional shows at 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver. For ticket prices and other details, visit dmns.org/imax/current-films. (One can purchase filmonly tickets or a combination that includes a museum visit.) care and teaching of panda cubs and were granted special permission to record the release of Tao Tao, a panda bred in captivity, and to follow a group of wild pandas in their mountain habitat.

Director Nicholas Brown (a Colorado native who lives in London) compared the Chinese efforts to save the panda to the space program in scope and expense.

In China, the panda is the symbol for the whole environment.

“When you save the panda, you’re saving a vast amount of old-growth forest and bamboo forest ecosystems in the Sichuan Province, which is the place known to be the cleanest and environmentally pristine.

Saving the panda means waters will run clean again and wildlife will thrive. That’s all being done under the banner of the panda,” he said.

The Chinese professor leading the program, Zhang Hemin, is affectionately known as “Panda Papa.” His advice helped the American crew navigate political niceties on several occasions.

Doors were opened when the project associated with the China Wildlife Conservation Association.

The production crew took three trips to China, starting in August 2012 when they filmed newborn pandas, weighing in at only 90 grams.

They returned to shoot 3- or 4-monthold pandas and again when the animals were moved to semi-wild enclosures and

Children meet a playful panda cub up close and personal at China’s Wolong National Nature Reserve, as shown in “Pandas: The Journey Home” at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Courtesy photos left alone to learn how to be wild again.

Documenting the apparently successful release of Tao Tao into the wild was “a profound moment in conservation history,” Brown said.

“Conservation is usually about trying not to make things worse. Here, for the first time, was an opportunity to make things better. It could be seen as the moment when the tide turned.”

It is noted that the film is more than a family-friendly entertainment about cuddly pandas.

This positive story has optimistic and surprising ramifications for conservation and the planet.

Illusions rule in ‘Fantasticks’ Miners Alley production has gentle fun with romantic life

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The setting is “any time, any place,” according to the program of “The Fantasticks”

by Tim Jones and Harvey Schmidt, on stage at Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden.

Lights go up and we meet the magical El Gallo (Rory Pierce), with red scarf and jaunty feather in his hat, singing: “Deep in December, it’s nice to remember …” as he sets the stage for an evening that “celebrates romanticism and mocks it at the same time,” according to lyricist Tom Jones; the play seeks “to touch people and then make them laugh at the very thing that touched them.”

Jones is further quoted in a short bio: “The Fantasticks is a musical about illusions: the illusions of young lovers, the illlusions of their parents, the illusions of the old actors.

But most of all, it is about theatrical illusion itself, that tacit agreement between the artists and the audience to create an imaginary world together, to draw moonlight from a cardboard disc and to transform a few scraps of torn paper into gently falling snow …

“To that end, we have borrowed theatrical devices from many cultures and many times: the Narrator `Chorus’ from early Greek drama, the platform stage and stock types from Italy’s Comedia dell’Arte, the `invisible’ property man from Oriental theater and perhaps, most important of all, the robust traditions of our own homegrown musical comedy.”

Director Brenda Billings (who is now artistic director of Miners Alley Playhouse, working with managing director Jonathan Scott-McKean and executive director Len

Matheo) quotes from Jones’ comments as she remembers more than 50 years of the history of this charming show.

Written in 1960, it concerns two neighboring fathers, Hucklebee (Tim Fishbaugh) and Bellomy (Steve Klein), who cultivate their gardens and plot to make their children, Luisa (Jacquie Jo Billings) and Matt (Mark Lively), fall in love by pretending to feud with each other and building a wall to keep the young people apart. “If you plant a radish, you get a radish,” they sing, expecting life to be that straightforward.

They plan to stage a mock abduction in which Matt will save Luisa. This involves El Gallo and a pair of over-the-hill actors: Shakespearean Henry (Don Deveaux) and Mortimer, The Man Who Dies (Clark Brittain), who make fun of all sorts of stage history.

The young pair discover the ruse and, angry, decide to separate. Each has bad experiences in the real world and they eventually reunite. Of course, we knew it would end well.

Backing the actors is a live band, led by musical director Mitch Samu on keyboards.

It includes harpist Don Hilsberg, who subbed in the original New York production in the 1980s, when he was a student. Also performing: Tag Worley, drums; Burt Singleton, bass.

The New Miners Alley crew has produced a gentle, sweet, thoughtful work that would seem to be an ideal lead-in to summer.

‘Music Man’ delights on Town Hall stage Willson classic presented in cheerful production

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com As lights go up on Town Hall Arts Center’s production of “The Music Man,” a group of traveling salesmen are seated on a jerky train and a near-perfect rendition of Meredith Willson’s classic “Rock Island” has the audience at the start: “Ya gotta know the territory …”

Director Christopher Willard has each actor sit on a suitcase and jiggle with the train’s motion as we meet Professor Harold Hill’s nemesis — Charlie Cowell, the anvil salesman (Ed Hickok).

Town Hall alumnus Chris Boeckx, a Littleton native, who often performed at the city’s Town Hall center in the past, is now a practicing attorney and has returned with a nice sense of humor intact, to play the wannabe con man who “gets his foot caught in the door” when he falls for Miss Marian Paroo, the town’s savvy librarian/piano teacher.

Maggie Sczekan’s trained voice soars as Marian. She harmonizes with the music man, the omnipresent quartet (the school board) and others.

As the folks of River City, Iowa, filter onstage for a July Fourth celebration, one is immediately impressed by Cindy Franke’s costumes in a dazzling assortment of black and white patterns and fabrics — really a clever way to present a pretty-much unified group of upright citizens. In Act II, color appears as the climate changes.

Mayor Shinn (Bryan Walker-Smith) is

if you go “The Music Man” plays at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in Littleton, through June 15. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays; and 6:30 p.m. on June 8. (No Saturday performance on June 14 due to the Littleton Block Party.) Tickets: $20-$40, 303-794-2787, ext. 5, or townhallartscenter.com. given to malapropisms throughout and is making the first of many attempts to recite Lincoln’s famous address: “Four score …” At his side is the colorful Eulalie Shinn — comedienne LuAnn Buckstein is a natural fit here.

His honor is trying to keep track of daughter Zaneeta (Erica Lloyd — “Ye Gods!”), who has her eye on live-wire local boy Tommy Diljas (Carter Edward Smith).

The parallel story of Marian’s family blends in: Nancy E. Harris portrays her widowed Irish mama, who wants to see her married, and Carter Novinger of Littleton is appealing little brother Winthrop, who longs for a cornet when Hill proposes a brass band for town kids — “(Ya Got) Trouble” right here in River City …

Hill’s image of “76 trombones” intrigues many in town, although some are unsure of his “think method” of learning music (“you don’t bother with the notes”).

Kelly Kate’s choreography, most especially the scene at the library — but also for the Pickalittle Ladies and others — is charming and in some cases remarkably complex, given the stage space.

Willson’s familiar score and a nostalgia for summers past — did they ever really exist? — combine to deliver a most pleasant evening of theater, with a polished, skillfully directed production that sends one out with a smile.

Writer salutes national park’s 100th birthday Castle Rock woman has strong ties to one of state’s crown jewels

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com As a young child, Mary Taylor Young of Castle Rock spent stretches of the summer at her grandparents’ cabin in Rocky Mountain National Park — back when private cabins were permitted.

She watched animals and birds among the trees and undergrowth, learned the names of flowers and rocks — and the rhythms of those splendid surroundings.

Her future was set.

The author of 15 books about Colorado, Young has recently published a handsome coffee-table book: “Rocky Mountain National Park: The First 100 Years,” which she will present to readers at two Arapahoe Library District branches dur-



ing June. From 11:30 am to 12:30 p.m. on June 13, she will be at Eloise May Library, 1471 S. Parker Road (Parker Road and Florida Avenue), and from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. June 25, she will repeat her program at Koelbel Library, 5955 S. Holly St. in Centennial.

She spent two weeks in 2012 as the park’s artist-in-residence, researching and writing in the historic William Allen White cabin in Moraine Park, and has taught nature-writing classes and been involved with the Rocky Mountain Nature Association.

She tells the story of Rocky Mountain National Park from not only 100 years ago, but a billion years ago — and stretches into the future.

Ute and Arapaho hunted game, trappers and explorers followed a call and settlers moved into the Estes Park area and discovered that they needed to attract tourists. Enos Mills, Joel and Patsy Estes and Abner and Alberta Sprague were among them.

Roads were engineered and constructed and visitors came by the thou-

sands. Recent concerns are that the park might be “loved to death.”

The book contains more than 250 historical and landscape photographs, including images by photographers William Henry Jackson, John Fielder and Erik Stensland and paintings by Charles Partridge Adams and Birger Sandzen.

Actual centennial celebrations for the park are scheduled starting this September and concluding a year later in Estes Park, in Rocky Mountain National Park itself and in Grand Lake. A lengthy list of activities is available online — and it cautions that this is a work in progress and will grow considerably, with special hikes, wildlife studies, and art events such as plein air painters “paint-out” and show at the Fall River Visitors Center.

Young is scheduled to speak about her book at 7 p.m. Sept. 26 at the Kawuneeche Visitor Center on the west side of the park and at 7 p.m. Sept. 27 at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center Auditorium on the east side. See www.nps.gov/ romo/planyourvisit/events.htm.

Lions get early football test Littleton linemen shine at Englewood competition, winning hog relay events

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton’s team filled the air with pigskins instead of horsehides as they joined the May 31 field at the annual Pirate 7-on-7 football tournament and hog relays.

“This is the first time we have been together as a football team since last fall,” Lions coach Kurt Krantz said as he watched his team play. “A number of last year’s key players graduated but we do have 15 seniors back, including four guys who were starters to provide leadership plus a good group of young kids coming in. This is a good way to see how we shape up against other teams.”

The May 31 events were part of the Lions’ summer football program. Littleton is conducting the two-week camp permitted by the state that includes full-contact competition. The Lions wrap up their practices June 6 when they are at Littleton High School Stadium to scrimmage Englewood and Jefferson. The scrimmages begin at 5:30 p.m.

They are open to the public and there is no charge for admission.

On May 31, there were 15 teams involved in the day’s activities, which included two very different competitions.

The Lions quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, linebackers and defensive backs competed against other teams in 7-on-7 play. In 7-on-7, the only way to move the ball is to complete a pass and gain yardage after the catch. There is no pass rush but the quarterback has to throw the ball within five seconds or the play is over. Touch football rules apply as defenders try to keep the opponent from getting a first down or scoring.

Joey Dennan called the signals in the game against Denver West. He connected with receivers on short, crossing routes to move the ball into position and to score a touchdown.

The 15 teams at the 7-on-7 event were divided into three pools of five teams each.

Each team played each opponent in the pool. The teams with the top records in pool play advanced to the playoffs to determine the event champion. The Lions were 2-2 in pool play but didn’t make it into the tournament.

However, they did very well in the other competition called the hog relays, where offensive and defensive linemen competed in physical challenges such as pulling a driving sled and flipping a heavy truck tire down the field. Lion lineman Tyler Woodward’s face was streaked with sweat as he lifted and flipped the big tire again and again.

The battle for first place came down to a tug-of-war between the Lions and Columbine. Littleton won the tug-of-war and first

Teammates cheer on Littleton’s Tyler Woodard as he flips a heavy truck tire down the field during the May 31 hog relays at Englewood High School. Hog relays are a series of physical challenges for offensive and defensive linemen. Fifteen schools participated in the competition, but the Lions claimed the championship, besting Columbine in a tug-of-war.

Photos by Tom Munds place in the hog relays.

“This event comes as a good time as it is midway through our two-week summer camp,” the coach said. “The full-contact camp is good because it gets kids thinking about football as the summer gets started.”

Coach Krantz said he and his staff are focused on working to have the Lions football team show improvement each season.

“We have been getting better. For example, last season we were 4-6 but we were in every game we played,” he said. “I believe that helps bring attention to the program and encourages athletes to join our teams.

Last year, we had a total of 15 freshman sign up. This year we have 45 signed up and 35 are attending our camp. That means we’ll have our freshmen on the freshman team instead of having some of them have to do double duty on the freshman and JV teams.”

He said he also wants to build pride and tradition in Lion football.

“I would like former Littleton players to come back, visit us and, if they want to, help us,” Krantz said. “We want the former players to talk about their days playing Lion football and help our current kids learn about the pride and history of our program.”

Krantz said former players can call him at 303-210-9515 or email him at ccha1975@ live.com.

Practice makes perfect for Highlands Ranch swimmer Mueller’s two state titles earn him honors as south metro’s best of spring

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com Highlands Ranch graduating senior Nathan Mueller worked all season to make sure he was ready to meet all the challenges and challengers in the 200and 500-yard freestyle races at the Class 5A Boys Colorado State Swimming Championships.

“Nathan started the season very focused,” said Highlands Ranch head coach Christina Kwon. “He requested, if possible, that I put him in the 200 freestyle and

500 freestyle for every meet. He wanted to really be prepared to win by the time we got to state.

“Although Nathan has always been a very strong and dedicated swimmer, he spent his senior season working on pacing correctly and sharpening his turns in order to be the best.”

Mueller was the best in the May 17 state finals, winning state championships in both events with All-American times.

He touched up in 1 minute, 38.26 seconds in the 200 and 4:27.41 in the 500.

For that dedication and excellence, he has been selected as the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Swimmer of the Year.

“The 500 freestyle is such a mental race,” he said. “I just thought if I swam it a bunch I would be more comfortable mentally with it. I’d have much different race strategies to go after by practicing it

a lot.”

Mueller, bound for the University of Wisconsin, didn’t sneak up on anyone this year as he carried the top Class 5A times in the 200 and 500 freestyles into the state meet.

“I went in with the mindset of being real confident in myself and knowing that I could do it,” he said. “It was kind of the mental state I put myself in that I didn’t leave any room for doubt. That’s what I had to do in order to win. Every time you get behind the blocks there is always a little nervousness. I just took a deep breath, got up on the block and went.

“It was a lot of fun to end my high school career like that winning two state titles. The swimming season as a whole was a fun experience to finish high school with people I really like and enjoy, and doing the sport I love.”

Jack Griffin looks like a typical junior at Ponderosa High School.

On the lacrosse field, he plays like a creature from Greek mythology, at least according to the announcers of one particular opponent.

During Ponderosa’s semifinal game against Steamboat Springs May 14, Griffin scored seven goals and added an assist in a 17-13 victory.

Steamboat announcers referred to Griffin as a “mythological beast.”

The game could also be viewed on the Steamboat Radio website, and Griffin tuned in to the broadcast after the game to watch it.

“I laughed at that,” he said. “I thought it was funny. I watched that whole broadcast of the game and they were calling everybody on both teams funny names like that.”

There was nothing funny about Griffin being named the Colorado Community Media South Metro boys lacrosse Player of the Year, however.

Griffin scored 57 goals for the Class 4A state champion Mustangs and dished out 38 assists for a season total of 95 points. He was second among Class 4A players in points and groundballs (140). He was third in goals, fourth in assists and fourth in face-off percentage (.667).

“Jack is a phenomenal lacrosse player and athlete,” said Ponderosa coach Patrick Tierney. “Achieving a high rank in scoring from the midfield position, on top of being one of the best face-off guys in the state, makes him an extremely dangerous player.

“Teams prepare to try to stop him, but he trusts his teammates to finish goals which significantly contributed to the success of our team. As a coach I am continually impressed with his talent and athleticism but it is his love and passion for the game that elevates him as one of the best lacrosse players in the state.”

Griffin admits he had trouble giving up the ball before this season.

“I had a good year,” he said. “I led the team in assists and that was the biggest part for me making myself better this year. Last year and my freshman year I didn’t have as many assists and I probably could have.

“I took more shots and held onto the ball when I could have passed it. This year I had my head up better and move it around better.”

Moving the ball around was no easy adjustment for Griffin.

“At first it was difficult but once I noticed the right moments to be moving the ball around, it not only helped my team score more by getting other players goals but it also freed me up more because they were more worried about other players being scoring threats and not just me,” he said.

Griffin will be playing for the Denver Elite club team this summer and hopes to improve on his face-off techniques.

“I’m going to try to get better on face offs this summer,” Griffin said. “Usually I don’t take very many of them in the club season. Every summer we play in a very high level in the tournaments we go to with Denver Elite so hopefully I can get a few more face offs to help my game there.”

Elephant Rock draws 6,500 cyclists Director calls event the best ever in its 27-year history

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Cyclists surrounded Scot Harris on a warm morning at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock. The music was loud and the winds that regularly pound the area were light.

Harris, the director of the Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival, claimed the June 1 event was one of the best yet in its 27-year history, despite fewer riders.

“This year it looks like (we had) about 6,500 riders which is kind of right in the range,” Harris said. “We’ve had as many as 7,800, and last year we were at 7,000. Although our numbers weren’t as big as they have been, this was absolutely the best.

“We just wanted to do some things differently this year. Parking has always really been hard coming into the Events Center with just the one way in. We worked super hard to make that work better and it totally worked. We added an Italian lunch, we had live music this year and the weather was beautiful. There’s no question this was a really a good one if not best ever. It just wasn’t our biggest.”

Cyclists had the option to ride 100-, 62-, or 32-mile courses or take on the 27-mile fat tire track and there was also an eightmile course for families and a ride for kids.

“It was not a race,” Harris said. “We try to create a course for cyclists of all ages and abilities. It has kind of become a little bit of an institution for the cycling community. Everybody kind of looks at it as the kickoff to the season. When we started the event that’s what we wanted. We wanted to have an early season training ride.

One of the riders that trekked the 62mile course was Janet Rost of Greenwood Village. Rost, 60, had a liver transplant in May 2012 but participated in her second Elephant Rock Ride this year. She finished

the 32-miler in 2013 and moved up to the 62-mile course this year.

“Never in a million years did I think I would be doing this,” she said. “Two years ago I could hardly go to the grocery store. I could hardly walk to the mailbox to get my mail. I have always been pretty active as an adult but when my liver started failing, I couldn’t do anything.

“A year after surgery I did the Elephant Rock. I was feeling so good and wanted to participate to raise money to help other transplant recipients and donors.”

Others, such as Kurt Lausman of Westminster, use the race to prepare for a busy summer of biking and running races.

“They call this the unofficial first start to the biking season,” said Lausman, who rode the 32-mile course. “It’s always beautiful in Castle Rock and I do it every year.

This is usually my first big ride of the year.

This is always well organized and everything is really well done here and that’s what makes it so nice.

“There’s just an excitement about being here. There are tons of bikers all over, there’s great energy and a good feel. That’s what gets me ready for the season. I’m primed and ready to go mentally and physically for a good year.”

Jonah and LuAnne Sperando of Colorado Springs rode 62 miles on a tandem bike.

“It’s something fun that we can do together,” related Jonah Sperando. “And the tandem bike, we think is more fun than a single bike. The hills are more challenging but that makes it more rewarding. Communication is key. We wear headsets, kind of like you see on motorcycles. We can sort of plan our steps along the way. In 14 years of riding a tandem we haven’t had too many arguments. We have witnessed a fair amount of arguments on a tandem but we’ve been fortunate.
