Littleton Rotary brought home the bacon Sept. 6 with its annual Alferd Packer Bacon, Bands and Beer party, held at Reinke Bros. Halloween and Costume Store in downtown Littleton. The event supports Rotary’s many good deeds, including polio eradication, Books for Babies, Littleton Free Clinic, Breakfast with Santa, Flower Power, Hands Across Littleton and scholarships for students, just to name a few. Littleton Rotary turned 90 last year, and is always looking for fresh faces. For more information, visit www.clubrunner.ca/ littleton/ or call 720-468-0478.

Move over Comcast, there could be a new cable provider in town. Littleton City Council on Sept. 2 approved on first reading a franchise agreement with CenturyLink. If the vote stands on second reading Sept. 16, it will mark the first time in Littleton’s history of cable television that Comcast has had competition from another landline-based source. “The FCC is trying to push this so we don’t have exclusive agreements anymore,” City Attorney Ken Fellman told council on Aug. 26. Comcast’s current 10-year contract is up next year. It’s been the only company, in various incarnations, allowed to lay cable in the city. Historically it’s been difficult for competition to emerge, said Fellman, because they’d have to install their own infrastructure from scratch. But technology has changed, and so have the governing laws, making it more feasible. “As the second entrant in the market, CenturyLink will not have the same buildout requirements in its franchise as Comcast, but CenturyLink has also agreed to a

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper and former Congressman Bob Beauprez swapped barbs during a lively debate in Grand Junction on Aug. 6, marking the first time the two gubernatorial rivals squared off this fall. On almost every debate topic — ranging from hydraulic fracturing to the death penalty and the state of the economy — the two traded jabs over who would be the better man to lead the state over the next four Beauprez years. The debate’s energy was aided by a lively audience that often interrupted the candidates with cheers and boos. That was especially the case toward the end of the debate, when Hickenlooper and Beauprez were Hickenlooper given the opportunity to ask each other a series of direct questions.

Crown Trophy moves up street Woodlawn staple relocates to former tire store By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com There’s a good chance you have a little piece of John Movius’ business in your home right now, and it might even be your most prized possession. “It’s a happy business,” he said. “Everyone who comes in orders something that’s going to make somebody happy.” Indeed, it’s good to find out you’re the “Most Valuable Player,” “Soccer Mom of the Year” or “World’s Greatest Dad.” Movius has owned Crown Trophy in Woodlawn Shopping Center for 19 years, but he recently packed up and moved three blocks east to the former Bryant Tire building at 1099 W. Littleton Blvd. While he enjoyed being in Woodlawn, he grabbed the opportunity to purchase his new location when the tire store moved to Englewood. “We are planning on being in Littleton forever,” he said. “We love Littleton, we love the people of Littleton. I’ve been trying for 10 years to find a place to buy that wouldn’t disrupt our business and let us stay in Littleton.” When he says forever, he means it. His daughter, Mychael Jones, runs the Little-

ton store, with her 5-month-old daughter Jacqueline in tow. They hope that one day Jacqueline and her 3-year-old twin brothers will take the helm. “Working in the family business is wonderful,” said Jones. “It allows me the flexibility to be a professional and also a mom. A lot of women don’t have that opportunity, and I feel blessed. It’s nice to have the support of family at work and at home.” Movius knows he’s in the heart of the Littleton Boulevard urban-renewal study area, and he’s somewhat wary of the threat of condemnation. But he’s watching the process closely and thinks he can make the property something Littleton can be proud of. “I don’t like the concept of eminent domain and blight, but I think there’s a responsibility on the part of the owner to make the property shine,” he said. To that end, he plans on planting some flowers, adding some ornamental iron to the exterior and making some other improvements. “I like to call it industrial chic,” he said. He also added banners and promotional items to his product list, creating more options for customers and, hopefully, more sales-tax revenue for the city. “So when Littleton sees the tax base that I’ve created from my own concept, hopefully we’ll be last on the list if the

Photo by Jennifer Smith developers come calling,” he said. Movius owns two other Crown Trophy franchises. His son runs the Arvada store, and his sister runs the DTC location. “I’m the most proud that we’re a fam-

ily business,” he said. “But I’m also proud of our customer service. Anybody can sell a product, but we strive for the best in quality and customer service. If there’s a problem, we’ll take care of it.”

Reasons to feel crowded in metro area top 3 million Metro-area population likely went past mark in middle of August Staff report The population of the Denver metro area was expected to exceed 3 million last month, according to state estimates.

The Colorado Department of Local Affairs uses the month of July to forecast population numbers annually. The department estimated that the Denver metro area’s population on July 1 would have been 2,994,534 and would have passed the 3 million mark in August. Elizabeth Garner, a state demographer, said the average monthly increase in population in the Denver metro area is 3,551, meaning its population reached

3 million in mid-August. Garner said the growing population can be attributed to a healthy economy in the Denver area. “There is a high correlation between job growth and population change,” she said. “We’re toward the top in the U.S. in terms of recovery and growing jobs.” Garner said population numbers in Larimer and Weld counties are growing at an even faster rate than the Denver

metro area, thanks to high job growth in the oil and gas industry there. But other parts of the state, such as the Western Slope and parts of the southeast, are losing residents. Garner said that can be attributed to jobs leaving those parts of the state and not coming back. “If you don’t have a job, it’s hard to stay,” she said.

Another Arapahoe security guard speaks out Erbacher-Kolk says she’s on leave; sheriff says investigation complete By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com A second security guard who was working at Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13 of last year, the day student Karl Pierson killed himself and Claire Davis, says she has been placed on leave, and the news has caused many on social media to wonder what is going on behind the scenes. “I wanted everyone to know that I truly love all the students and staff at Arapahoe,” writes Christina Erbacher-Kolk in a Facebook post dated Sept. 2. “I have now been put on leave for breaking a protocol? Yet they can’t tell me what protocol I violated. The treatment seems similar to a colleague of mine Cameron Rust back in January, who criticized (Littleton Public Schools) administration for the way it handled the shooting incident.” Rust did not return to the school despite protests from the students. Erbacher-Kolk spoke on his behalf in February, telling the LPS board of education that bringing him back would bring some closure. “I cannot tell you how much he means to those kids,” she said. “Where do these kids turn to when they need that person to heal?” Now, many are coming to her defense on Facebook. “Christina you are by far my favorite staff member of LPS,” writes one student. “You were there for me for both school and personal life questions. You have given me some amazing advice when I was dealing with tough situations. I always looked forward to talking to you during my second hour off. I look up to both you and Cameron for speaking up about the incident at the risk of your employment. There (are) not many people who are willing to speak up for their beliefs.” Others are expressing distrust of the administration in light of the fact that

Multiple law enforcement and fire agencies responded to Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13, 2013, after student Karl Pierson shot classmate Claire Davis then himself. Almost nine months later, the official report of the incident has not been released. File photo nine months after the incident, neither the district nor the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office have released any findings. On Sept. 5, Sheriff David Walcher said in an email that the investigation is complete and “we are working on finalizing a release of information.” “I have felt all along that the administration is doing everything they can to eliminate the truth about the events,” wrote Vicki Hoffman, who said she is the mother of a former AHS student. “I Arapahoe continues on Page 7

Hudson Gardens plans stronger bond with river Council will consider allocating funds in 2015 budget By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rich Meredith, executive director at Hudson Gardens, says he’s held up his end of the bargain he made two years ago with the City of Littleton, and now it’s the city’s turn to ante up. “This has been a very positive thing for us,” he told city council on Aug. 26. “We learned a lot about ourselves, we learned a lot about river integration. It’s resulted in a great partnership with the city.” In 2012, Meredith asked council to approve $400,000 to help build a nature-discovery area for kids, and to make improvements to the Santa Fe Drive frontage. Council agreed to set aside the funds, but asked Meredith to first establish a master plan for Hudson Gardens, which is owned by the city and maintained by South Suburban Parks and Recreation. It has its own board of directors, as well. As a result of the planning process, the focus switched from the front of the 30-acre property to the back, where it abuts the South Platte River. Meredith wants to make it more inviting to people using the Mary Carter Greenway trail by turning the area near Nixon’s Coffee House into more of a gateway. A set-in for rafts would invite those enjoying a float down the Platte to stop in for a cup

Hudson Gardens is in line for some upgrades now that its master plan is complete. Photo by Jennifer Smith of coffee and a stroll around the garden, said Meredith, while at the same time making garden visitors aware of recreation opportunities on the river. Additional parking spaces and bike racks are included in the plan, as well. “We want to improve connectivity inside and with the river,” said Meredith. The big barn that was originally built to house the lights for the now-defunct “A Hudson Christmas” holiday light show will be turned into an educational center, with a “Nature Play” area outside. “It’s not just for kids,” said Meredith. “Our

population is not necessarily nature-oriented. We need to get people more integrated.” The plan envisions a bridge over the wetlands area, home to the giant water lilies, to a river overlook. Internally, the gift shop is already being remodeled into a wellness center, with the shop and administrative offices moved into the building that was originally Evelyn and King Hudson’s residence. Meredith noted Hudson Gardens in increasing in popularity, with some 500,000 people attending the summer concerts this

year. The Inn at Hudson Gardens was rented about 350 times last year for private parties, and the popular Air Life Memorial event was held on the ground for the 17th time in May. More than 7,000 kids a year visit on field trips, and there are more than 700 commemorative trees, benches and bricks. “There are traditions being built there, and some very positive things going on at Hudson Gardens,” said Meredith. Council will decide whether to allocate the funds to Hudson Gardens as part of its budget process this month.

Feds join hunt in gamer hoax Littleton police got call claiming active shooter By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The “swatting” incident that made news across the nation on Aug. 27 is now getting some very high-level attention. “We are assisting the Littleton Police Department and working with the U.S. Secret Service on this case,” confirmed Dave Joly, spokesperson for the Denver office of the FBI. “The federal jurisdiction, if necessary, would come into play if the case crosses state or international lines beyond the borders of the USA.” What started with a 911 call to LPD claiming there was an active shooter in a local office building ended with police saying it was an apparent hoax. “The caller claimed to have shot two co-workers, held others hostage and

threatened to shoot them,” according to an LPD statement released later that day. “He stated that if the officers entered, he would shoot them as well.” Chaos ensued throughout the southmetro area, as schools went on lockdown and police sirens blared all the way to the location at 1221 W. Mineral Ave. What they found when they got there was gamer Jordan Matthewson, known online as “Kootra,” playing a live-streamed game called “Counter Strike: Global Offensive” on the website Twitch. The office is his, where he operates a video-game company called The Creatures LLC. Matthewson was thrown to the ground and searched, as the camera continued to roll until an officer turned it face down. “There were no victims or any evidence that a shooting had taken place,” according to the LPD statement. They think it was a case of “swatting,” wherein Matthewson’s online opponent made the 911 call hoping for the exact

result he or she got. While Matthewson was being searched, he got kicked off the game due to inactivity, and his opponent won. The video of the incident went viral with more than 3 million views on YouTube, and it made news all over the world. No arrests have been made, but LPD Cmdr. Trent Cooper says the department is continuing its investigation. He adds that if it turns out to be a hoax, the perpetrators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. “Basically, it appears that this `swatting’ prank is not all that uncommon, particularly within this gaming community,” he said. “The problem is that the caller is typically somewhat adept at hiding their identity and location using a variety of proxy servers, spoof sites, public wi-fi networks, and stolen identities, and that can make it difficult if not impossible to locate and/or identify them.” With Arapahoe High School finding

itself again on lock-in status, along with every school in the district, thoughts of last year’s tragedy were foremost in the minds of many. “Law enforcement in the south-metro area and throughout the country are all too familiar with active-shooter situations,” reads the LPD statement. “In the wake of these incidents, Littleton Police and other law-enforcement agencies train for rapid response to quickly rescue victims and neutralize the situation. Fortunately there were no injuries today, but a massive law-enforcement response wastes resources and greatly increases the chances of innocent people being injured or killed.” Schools had resumed normal operations by lunchtime. “The incident had nothing to do with our students and staff and occurred outside of school property,” said a statement from Littleton Public Schools. “Students were not in danger.”

‘Basically, it appears that this `swatting’ prank is not all that uncommon, particularly within this gaming community.’ LPD Cmdr. Trent Cooper

Facebook post Continued from Page 3

job in fact I have had nothing but excellent reviews. I wanted everyone to know that I truly love all the Students and Staff at Arapahoe. I have now been put on leave for breaking a protocol? Yet they can’t tell me what protocol I violated. The treatment seems similar to a colleague of mine Cameron Rust back in January, who criticized LPS Administration for the way it handled the shooting incident. Approximately two weeks ago a trusted colleague came up to me and asked how I was doing. This individual stated “sometimes you need to ask yourself can you find peace and live with the way things were handled and the way they continue to be handled?” I have thought long and hard about this question and the answer is NO I can’t because of the way LPS Administration treated and continues to treat those that risked their lives to keep students and staff safe. We were told that the Administration doesn’t want us here and that we would be relocated because of concerns that we brought up to them prior to the shooting? For the safety of the students, we related the following to LPS Administration before December 13, 2013: We questioned why a student who admitted to selling knives was allowed back into the school. I was told to stand with my back against the wall if I felt unsafe. We told the administration that a student was looking up guns on the computer after he had been the subject of a threat assessment about threatening a staff member’s life. We were told that there was nothing they could do, but to watch this individual. Administration stated “we all know that this student will go off the deep end. It just will not happen at Arapahoe.” Brought up on several occasions that cameras were not working properly

am sorry to hear of what has now happened to you, albeit not surprised. Unfortunately so many parents want to believe that everything is being handled that they don’t like the criticism that some of us have voiced our concerns about. The bullying by others (has) forced them to be silenced.” Erbacher-Kolk herself makes some serious allegations in her post.

Requested further training for the kind of danger the student presented. Brought up that doors that needed to be locked didn’t lock, were not shut all the way or were repeatedly propped open What has happened after the shooting December 13, 2013: I filed a complaint with HR and School Board I have been shunned, singled out, isolated, excluded, yelled at, had some security information withheld so I could not properly do my job, and nit- picked, where others are not. I have been asked by LPS Administration several times to deny what Cameron Rust said in his statement and it was because I would NOT deny what he said that that’s why I was treated differently. I agreed with Cameron’s statements and could not honestly deny what he had reported. I have been subjected to offensive, intimidating work environment I have been asked to sit in the same location that Claire was shot The doors still do not latch properly The cameras still are not functioning properly Behavior issues with students are not properly worded or accurately documented I have been placed on leave for protocol violation. I have not been told what those protocols are, and was not told what protocol I violated. My disagreement with the way Security is currently organized is not properly acknowledged. Questions that go through my head, among others: Why would someone have an escape plan for a low level threat? Why did SRO not know why we were in lockdown? Why was the library walked past after we radioed the shooter was in library? Why was another threat assessment NOT done after campus supervisors pointed out student was looking up guns? Why are the very first responders being treated so poorly and getting put on leave when it has been told to us we

“We told the administration that a student was looking up guns on the computer after he had been the subject of a threat assessment about threatening a staff member’s life,” she wrote. “We were told that there was nothing they could do, but to watch this individual. Administration stated, `We all know that this student will go off the deep end. It just will not happen at Arapahoe.’ ” She claims security cameras and locks on doors weren’t working properly at the school before the murder and still aren’t, and that behavior issues aren’t being accurately characterized or properly documented. On Sept. 8, a Littleton Public Schools spokeswoman said the district would likely have a response within “the next day or so.”

have done nothing wrong? In closing, I want to say to the Students and Teachers at Arapahoe you are the true heroes. I am sorry that no one has come out publicly to say that! Students, you all amaze me! You had to grew up very quickly that day, but you kept your classmates safe and calm, some of you standing by doors in case danger came in, others thinking of classmates who would not be able to hear anything, grabbing them and getting out of the school. Teachers you remained calm and kept your students quiet and calm in the worst of situations. Some may criticize the way that I’m going about this, but I have tried the proper channels. The administration has restricted necessary documentation and training, and has retaliated against myself and at least one other for bringing problems like these into view. I hope this statement will serve to make schools safer. As of right now the school is operating short of campus supervisors because I am now forced to take leave. It doesn’t make sense. I know the students and have proven my commitment to them. There is so much that is happening behind the scenes and being left out of the public’s eye for a reason that is unclear to us as a community.

Get success down to a tee Whenever we give someone a task or project to complete and we don’t provide them with the right tools, support, environment or expectations, it can be said that we are setting that person or that team up for failure. This happens in the business world just as much as it happens in our personal lives, doesn’t it? We see it happen when we make rash decisions, hire staff without providing the proper onboarding or training, and when we set unrealistic goals. As a matter of fact, setting people up for failure has become so commonplace that we now look at it frivolously or use the failure as the brunt of our jokes and usually at the expense of at least one person or team. Maybe failure has become easier than success. I mean, it’s easy to look into the future and predict what we will never achieve or cannot do as opposed to being forwardthinking and looking at what we can accomplish. And not only what we can accomplish but what our new hires, teammates, friends, and co-workers can achieve. And I think that setting the stage for success can be just as easily done as it is to set someone up for failure, and save us tons of time, money and resources. Have you ever heard it said, “Teed up for success?” The ball is sitting on the tee, no wind, wide open fairway, and it is just so simple to imagine a smooth effortless swing that sends the golf ball soaring beautifully straight down the middle of the fairway. But you see,

the ball landing safely in the middle of the fairway is the result of hard work, practice, coaching and commitment. And whether we are talking about the professional golfer or the weekend amateur, when we think about being “teed up for success” we have to remember what that actually means and the hard work and dedication it took to get there. Imagine just the opposite, we invite a friend or associate to a round of golf, they share with us they have never played before or it has actually been years since they have even swung a golf club. But since we really want to play and we need someone to round out our foursome we tell them not to worry, all will be well and we will just have fun. And then what do we do, we tell our friend, and maybe now former friend, that we are teeing off from the back tees, we have them using rented or borrowed clubs, and we forgot to tell them to bring enough golf balls. Fast-forward to the sixth hole and our once-a-summer golfing friend is completely frustrated and maybe even embarrassed, he

Words turn to mush when dog gets me going Smitty is on his dog bed next to me, sleeping. He is sleeping and making little woofs. I don’t know — I wish I did — what he is dreaming about. He might be dreaming about Miss October (Dachshund Edition) or the rabbit in the front yard who always gets away from him. Smitty wags his tail in his sleep. I suppress the word “cute,” but it’s cute. I admit it: Smitty softens my edges. Sometimes when I read the newspaper, I touch Smitty with my left hand. I guess I am hoping that his good energy will cancel some of the bad energy that comes out of the daily news. Smitty is my shadow. He follows me everywhere I go, but he pouts when I paint, and goes to the couch. This is starting to sound a little buttery. That’s what our pets do to us. I think it is very clear by now that he is glued to me and I am glued to him. Smitty was my father’s nickname and it was mine, when I was in high school. No one calls me Smitty anymore. Thankfully.

I try to write a column about him every six weeks. I feel better when I am writing about him. It seems like the rest of the time I am a humbug about something. My own constant drone of negative reporting gets to me. Unfortunately, I am good at it — making comments about disturbing human behavior. Like the maltreatment of women and children. And animals. “CEO loses job after kicking puppy.” Marshall continues on Page 9

or she is dreading the back nine, our other golfing buddies are tired of playing a slow round, looking for golf balls after every shot, patience is wearing thin, and now they too are dreading the back nine. Everyone was set up for failure. The very same thing happens in sales, in management, in the chores we give our children, in the homework that is assigned, and in new tasks and projects in companies and organizations all over the world each and every day. And it is so easy to point the finger of “I told you so” instead of taking the time necessary to equip everyone with the proper tools and support, guidance and coaching, and appropriate setting of expectations to set the stage for success instead of failure. Setting good goals, setting stretch goals, keeping them realistic, and taking the time to help others get teed up for success may seem like it could be time-consuming, but I can promise you that it takes far less time and energy when we compare it to the costs of setting people up to fail. Are you teed up for success? Have you set the stage for others to succeed? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when the stage for success has been set, it will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Think light rail instead of toll lanes I would like to respond to the Christy Steadman article, “CDOT hears public comment on C-470 project,” which was published Aug. 28. Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas county residents approved the building of E-470 back in 1989, with a $10 per vehicle tax. And I bet 90 percent of these people don’t even use E-470. One week before the election, it was rumored that E-470 would be a toll road. I told myself that this was Colorado and we don’t have toll roads here and that would not happen. Well I was wrong! Don’t try to make C-470 between Wadsworth and I-25 have toll lanes. Instead, use that money to build light rail. If you build light rail, they will come! Also, make sure the light rail line can handle doubledecker rail cars. Think to the future. This way C-470 light rail users can connect to the I-25/I-225/DIA light rail and not have to go downtown via light rail to get to DIA. Ronald Nigh Highlands Ranch

What I learned over State shows the way on infrastructure summer vacation There’s almost nothing better than a summer vacation and seeing new scenery. This summer, I took my eldest daughter to Columbia University for grad school, where she will be attending seminary. It was a gorgeous drive, precious time with her, and as a student of life, I had to ask myself, “What did you learn?” Unique to my learning this time, was not only my perspective as a state senator, but more poignantly, a single mom leaving her daughter in a faraway place…by herself…possibly, never to return to live. To me, traveling is the experiential lesson in appreciating both the journey and the final destination. As with each road trip, you’ve got to know how to enjoy the drive as well as the victory of making it to your next dot on the map. In reviewing our 2014 session and my daughter’s college graduation, I was reminded this summer that I do enjoy not only the outcomes, but also the journey of being a mom and a legislator. As a legislator driving across the country, I couldn’t help noticing the similarities and differences between our state and others. I am proud to say that I’ve been to all 50 states and have been touched by the expansiveness and beauty of the American landscapes and our people. Although the scenery in each state might be different, the people are basically the same — just wanting to have a productive career or enjoy retirement. In the Midwest, our Colorado agriculture looks similar - cornfields and cows. Yet in the east with their lush green panoramas, no signs of unfortunate drought effects that we have here. Driving 2,300 miles without seeing one real mountain, though, it was fantastic to see politically red, blue, and purple states so committed to clean-energy wind turbines and multi-modal public transportation. But the toll roads, ugh! Every time you go over a border, bridge, or new turnpike,

Desmond Hague, CEO of a catering company, lost his job after nearly 193,000 signatures demanded it, after he kicked a Doberman pinscher puppy. It was captured in a video. I tried to watch the video and couldn’t. The shape of the puppy’s head reminded me too much of Smitty’s. Hague apologized. I’ve decided that the newspaper needs an apology section. Everyone is apologizing to someone. “I’d like to apologize to my team, the organization, our fans, and the city of Baltimore. This is not who I am.” But it is. We fail. We fail all of the time. In the moment, we are pushed to an edge that betrays us, and everything is on film these days. Ravens running back Ray Rice punched his girlfriend in the face. There’s a video. Rice, initially given a two-game suspension, has since been cut by the team and suspended indefinitely by the NFL. Broncos punter Matt Prater drank beer

you’re getting dinged for a toll. I spent over $100 in tolls by the time we were done. I have to say, though, their roads were in better shape than ours. Guess you pay for it somehow; whether it’s in tolls, fees, and taxes or in new tires, alignments, and suspensions. Just need to be prepared either way. As a mom, watching her daughter start her new life in New York City? I learned that NYC, with all its hectic energy, crowded streets, and Central Park beauty, is a wonderful place for grad students to individuate from their parents. I have learned comfort from knowing that Union Theological Seminary (where she has just moved in) is an oasis of peace, deep knowledge and spiritual support. I know that my daughter will be able to catapult the new trajectory of her life very positively. As for me? I am now learning again how to “let go and let God.” Far away from the city that never sleeps, where Kate Newell is sleeping soundly, is a mom in Colorado wide awake, missing her daughter. Linda Newell is the state senator of Senate District 26, which encompasses Bow Mar, Columbine Valley, Littleton, Englewood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, west Centennial and parts of Aurora. She can be reached at (303) 866-4846 or Linda.newell.senate@gmail.com or SenLindaNewell.com. in his home. Prater was suspended for four games prior to Rice’s lengthier punishment. It worries me to think what kind of a man I would be if it hadn’t been for Badger and Smitty. I bought Badger when she was six weeks old. She weighed about as much as a russet potato. Smitty was 5 when I adopted him, and he already had a suspended personality. I know that if Smitty — and Jennifer — weren’t in my life that I wouldn’t be worth reading. I would be dark and cranky all of the time. I get more emails after I write about Smitty than about anything else. No one ever says that I am too obsessed. But I know. Hague said, “I am ashamed and deeply embarrassed.” We spend billions of dollars a year on our pets. Some pets are treated better than children are treated. Smitty will be 11 next month. Badger was 15 when she died. Smits is full of pep, he has great veterinarian care, a healthy diet and we go for two, three or four short walks a day. See? I could never be a field journalist. Smitty wouldn’t be allowed to go with me. He is my other heartbeat. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Colorado’s economy relies on its workers’ ability to safely get to their jobs and send their kids to school. It needs businesses to have the ability to efficiently ship their products to market. It requires safe and sanitary water and sewer systems, as well as energy grids that can handle increasing demands. Across the state, our communities are finding ways to build innovative infrastructure to ensure we remain competitive. We had the opportunity to learn more about several of these projects on our “Infrastructure Colorado: Planes, Trains, Automobiles and More” tour last month. The tour highlighted many of our state’s infrastructure projects that are helping drive our economy forward. We spoke with leaders in local communities about their current needs and the types of investments it will take to build better roads, railways, dams, utility grids, and airports for the next generation. We kicked off our tour with a mobile town hall on RTD’s recently completed West Line to Golden, where we met with transit, civic and business leaders. They emphasized the vital link between these types of transit projects and robust economic development in the region. We also joined Denver Mayor Michael Hancock for a glimpse of the development plans for Denver International Airport and had the chance to see the amazing work CDOT is doing on the Twin Tunnels expansion. In Fort Collins, we rode the newly completed MAX Rapid Transit bus that’s connecting commuters to Midtown, Colorado State University and Old Town, and we met with community leaders in Loveland to discuss the importance of long-term transportation planning and investment in Northern Colorado. These types of innovative projects aren’t limited to the Front Range. In the Roaring Fork Valley we met with folks on the VelociRFTA Bus Rapid Transit system — the first rural bus rapid transit system in the nation. We talked with Union Pacific engineers on our coal train ride from Dotsero to Glenwood Springs about their vision for future growth and toured the Red Cliff water treatment plant. In Pueblo, we had the opportunity to visit

Transportation Technology Center Inc. — a world-class research facility that’s developing cutting-edge safety technology for the nation’s railroad industry. At each of these stops, local leaders made it clear that there is a critical need for funding certainty from the federal government. Congress’ failure to pass long-term highway, transit and other infrastructure bills leaves local communities guessing about what kind of support and resources — if any — will be available as they work to maintain and upgrade roads, water and sewer systems, and transit stations. Coloradans continue to find collaborative ways to finance forward-looking infrastructure projects across the state, all while Washington continues to kick the can down the road. In typical fashion, Congress has managed to “keep the lights on” for another couple of months by passing a short-term extension for the Highway Trust Fund, which was just days away from insolvency. The extension is set to expire in May, putting us right back in the same predicament early next year and leaving state and local transportation departments unable to plan. Despite Colorado’s successes, without a predictable infrastructure plan from Congress we won’t be able to continue to build, or even maintain, the infrastructure we need to be safe and to compete in today’s economy. Congressional failure to act threatens our economy, our competitiveness and our safety. Washington should follow Colorado’s example and find collaborative, long-term solutions for our infrastructure needs. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

Senate candidates go head-to-head Grand Junction debate features Udall, Gardner By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Although President Barack Obama isn’t on the November ballot this year, he was very much a part of a U.S. Senate race debate that was held in Grand Junction on Sept. 6. The president’s name dominated much of the fall’s first debate between Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and Congressman Cory Gardner, his Republican opponent in a race that is of pivotal political importance nationally. Gardner spent the early part of the debate hammering away at Udall for a voting record that is closely linked to the agenda of the Obama administration, which has long been mired in low approval ratings. Those attacks included Udall’s support for the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature piece of legislation and a law that Gardner focused on much of the debate. “Barack Obama and Mark Udall have put tremendous stress on our country,” Gardner said. But Udall defended his support of Obamacare and said that putting millions more people on health insurance rolls and doing away with insurance companies’ restrictions on pre-existing conditions has been a good thing for the country. The senator also said Obamacare is better than the Republican alternative. “We had a system of health care in this country that discriminated against women and your party has refused to take action,” Udall said. While Gardner tried to tie Obama to Udall throughout the debate, Udall responded toward the end of the debate with an assault on Gardner’s record on women’s issues - something the Udall campaign has been doing since the start

of the campaign. Udall blasted Gardner over a congressional record that the senator said has fallen short on issues of importance to women. Udall highlighted Gardner’s previous votes to de-fund Planned Parenthood and Gardner’s prior support for the so-called “personhood” amendment, which would have resulted in an essential ban on abortion. “Why are you getting in between women and their doctors?” Udall said. Gardner responded by pivoting to the economy and its impact on women. He also took issue with Udall’s advertising onslaught against Gardner’s record on women’s issues. “Millions of dollars of his message have simply and only been about social issues,” Gardner said. The two are locked in a tight race that could have an impact on the balance of power in the Senate. Democrats curWe rently hold an edge, butare thatcommunity. can change if Republicans flip a handful of seats this fall, including Udall’s. The two candidates also sparred on other issues, including energy development, social security and gridlock in Washington D.C. Interestingly, the two candidates were not asked about immigration reform — an issue that continues to go nowhere in Congress. Neither Gardner nor Udall asked each other about immigration when they were given the opportunity to ask their own questions toward the end of the debate. Mostly, the debate featured two Washington elected officials attacking each other’s records. After Gardner attacked Udall on issues that included water rights and homeland security, Udall mocked the congressman’s constant assault on his record. “I’m curious what problem facing our nation I haven’t caused,” Udall said to cheers from his supporters. Gardner’s base reacted similarly to the congressman’s response. “Me too.” Your Community Connector to Boundless Rewards

Former SSPR site could house duplexes Some in Southbridge would rather have park By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Those who were hoping South Suburban Parks and Recreation would turn its vacated maintenance facility in Southbridge into a park are out of luck. “South Suburban has absolutely no interest in developing the site as a park,” wrote Dave Lorenz, executive director, in a letter to Stoneridge Homes, which is proposing to build duplexes on the site. “I have expressed our opinion to the local homeowners association representatives, who have called on several occasions over the past couple years.” Stoneridge Homes wants to buy the threeacre site northwest of Broadway and Jamison Avenue, which some have complained has become an eyesore in the three years it’s been empty. With a total of 38 units, the proposal is for about 13 units per acre — about the same as three neighboring townhome developments. They would be for sale, ranging from about $300,000 to $350,000. The two-story units would be 1,500 to 1,900 square feet, with heights capped at 30 feet, less than the town-

homes next door. Nevertheless, some residents in those townhomes aren’t happy. “Their property would be looming over ours, depriving our residents of privacy and sunlight,” said Martin Kaye. Concerns stated by Kaye and three of his neighbors include density, open space, traffic, retaining walls and drainage. Stoneridge is negotiating with the townhome association for an easement to run water from its property to a water main. “They’re wanting to tie into our water, and I think we’re all a little upset about that,” said Kathleen Swanson. “And there will be no place to walk their dogs, and no place for children to play.” Lorenz says the area is well served with plenty of open space, including Horseshoe Park and the Lee Gulch and High Line Canal trails. “We are very supportive of your proposed plans for development of the site,” he wrote. “We believe it to be a good land use with the city of Littleton.” There will be a public hearing in front of city council on Sept. 16 before the final vote is cast. The planning board narrowly recommended approval on Aug. 25, by a 4-3 vote. Board member Mark Rudnicki was particularly less than pleased with the design of the project, calling it tedious and low quality.

Stoneridge Homes wants to build duplexes on the three-acre site northwest of Broadway and Jamison Avenue, which some have complained has become an eyesore in the three years it’s been empty. Photo by Jennifer Smith “It’s basically footprint, footprint, footprint and driveway,” he said. Gary Wanger, president of Stoneridge, begs to differ. “With this new residential development, the general public will be benefiting from the

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lone Tree restaurateurs Lucinda and Jimmy Crane just celebrated eight months of owning their own business. “Some things were meant to be, and this is one of them,” Lucinda Crane said of the family-run Cranelli’s Italian Restaurant on Park Meadows Drive. She credits the successful launch of the business not just to the couple’s restaurant and business backgrounds, but also to the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center. Advisers there helped the couple prepare their business plan for an ultimately successful loan application to the Colorado Enterprise Fund. The center intends to write similar success stories in its new City of Lone Tree satellite office, located in the same office that houses the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. The suite is in the Lone Tree City Administration building at 9220 Kimmer Drive. The SBDC, housed at the South Metro Denver Chamber of

number of provisions beneficial to the city that are not part of Comcast’s current franchise,” writes Fellman in a memo to council. CenturyLink’s building at 700 W. Mineral Ave. is Littleton’s largest employer, said Kelli Narde, the city’s director of communications. The company currently offers satellite television, which is not governed by franchise agreements, through DirecTV. CenturyLink is proposing to build out to 15 percent of Littleton homes in three years. If 27.5 percent of those homes subscribe to its services, then it will be required

Debate Continued from Page 1

Beauprez used his first question to attack the governor over his evolving position on the death penalty, focusing on the governor’s decision last year to grant a temporary reprieve to Nathan Dunlap, the death row inmate who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993. “Yes or no, will you assure the people here tonight … that you will not grant clemency to Nathan Dunlap?” Beauprez asked. Hickenlooper — who once supported the death penalty, but who recently said he no longer does — said he has “no plans to revisit my decision and my decision stands.” “Government shouldn’t be in the business of taking people’s lives,” Hickenlooper said. Meanwhile, Hickenlooper turned the tables on Beauprez on another issue that the former congressman has used to criticize the governor — fracking. Hickenlooper touted his work on reaching a compromise on local control issues surrounding oil and gas drilling. The compromise kept anti-fracking measures from appearing on the November ballot — a result Beauprez had also wanted. “You said you wanted the ballot measures off the ballot and

Commerce offices in Centennial since 2003, now has moved its main office to the City of Aurora Municipal Center at 15151 E. Alameda Parkway. Aurora previously served as its satellite office. At its new satellite Lone Tree office, consulting will be available by appointment only. The SBDC helps existing and new businesses in Arapahoe, Douglas and south Jefferson counties grow by offering quality, free, one-on-one consulting and free or low-cost workshops. “We are thrilled to have the city of Aurora as our new host center,” said Marcia McGilley, executive director of the South Metro Denver and Aurora SBDCs. “The City of Lone Tree is centrally located and has easy access off of I-25 and C-470 for our south metro area clients. We look forward to building strong relationships with our new hosts and their communities, and we appreciate their desire to work so closely with the SBDC.” Lone Tree Chamber staff members, who will share space with the SBDC, see the joint location as mutually beneficial. “We are very excited about having the Small Business Development Center satellite office in the City of Lone Tree,” said chamber spokeswoman Donna Russell. “Douglas County is the fastest-growing county in Colorado, and one of the fastest-growing areas in the country. I like to say that Lone Tree

to reach another 15 percent in two years. If it fails to get enough subscribers, it could continue to build but wouldn’t be required to. “In theory, competition could affect cable television prices,” writes Fellman. “Some data suggests that prices go down when there is a second cable operator in a community.” CenturyLink will pay sales tax and franchise and other fees to the city, as does Comcast. Satellite and online services like Netflix and Dish Network do not. Narde predicts this will be the last cable contracts the city enters into as those services become more popular. Fellman agreed, saying fiber optics are the wave of the future. “There’s really no such thing as a telephone company or a cable company anymore,” said Fellman. “They’re all broadband companies.”

I did that, so can I count on your vote?” Hickenlooper said. Beauprez offered an icy response. “I think you know the answer to that,” he said. Hickenlooper is pro-fracking, but has also guided tough regulations on the oil and gas industry that aim to limit potential environmental and health impacts of drilling. Beauprez said those regulations are only hurting an industry that pumps millions of dollars into the state. “Other states are more open for business for energy development and that’s where the jobs are going,” Beauprez said. The two candidates also shared sharp exchanges on economic issues. Hickenlooper highlighted an economy that has improved under his watch, one that has resulted in 33 months of consecutive job growth and an unemployment rate that continues to drop. But Beauprez said that the economy would be in a lot better shape if the government simply stayed out of the way of business. Beauprez said state regulations are largely responsible for that. Beauprez also blasted federal regulations and the Affordable Care Act. That led to criticism from Hickenlooper for focusing on issues that are handled at the congressional level. “Maybe you should be running for Congress if you want to go back and tackle the federal issues,” Hickenlooper said.

is the economic hub of Douglas County, and we are certainly centrally located within the south Denver economic corridor. “The Lone Tree satellite office gives the SBDC a central location in which to assist the new and rapidly growing small business community which is so vital to our economy. This location adds value for our Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce members, as well, so we are very pleased.” Those who haven’t started their business or have been in operation less than a year are urged to take two to four start-up SBDC classes. The classes are offered free at Douglas County Libraries. One-on-one consulting also is available. The South Metro Denver SBDC is one of 14 centers in the Colorado network. In 2013, more than 2,000 clients received one-on-one consulting and training through the South Metro Denver SBDC, with 56 new businesses launched and more than 365 jobs created or retained.

Happy 50th birthday to ACC

The year 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of Arapahoe Community College. The celebration will continue throughout this school year, culminating in May 2015 with the annual commencement ceremony and ACC Foundation Gala. Founded in 1965 through a grassroots movement by members of the Littleton community, ACC was the first community college to open in the Denver area. What began as Arapahoe Junior College with 550 students has grown into a vibrant community college serving more than 22,000 credit, non-credit and online students. ACC offers nearly 100 degree and certificate programs and over 200 online classes. Keep up with the latest news and announcements at www.arapahoe. edu/50years.

LPS sets a record

Littleton Public Schools has earned the state’s highest accreditation rating for the fifth straight year. “Accredited with Distinction” is the highest rating given, and LPS is the only district in the metro area to have earned it for five years in a row.

ridgegate.com

The rating is based on student performance across key indicators like achievement, growth and postsecondary and workforce readiness. Of particular note, LPS increased graduation rates in all population subgroups and has seen steady increases in four-year, on-time graduation rates in all of them, as well.

SMHO packs the backpacks South Metro Housing Options sponsors an annual school-supply drive, “Pack the Backpacks,” to assist elementary students who live in public housing. This year, students in need at Field Elementary School were included, and about 140 students received new backpacks and basic supplies to start the school year. Community support for the project came from the Heritage High Boys Basketball Team, the Littleton Breakfast Optimists, Colorado Home Realty, Providence Physical Therapy and through the Bemis Library collection site.

Don’t fall for it The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office has received reports of citizens receiving phone calls from individuals claiming to be law-enforcement officers who say they have a warrant for the person answering the phone or a member of that person’s family. The caller then tells the victim to wire money immediately to prevent them from being arrested. This fraudulent scheme has occurred in the past and has again been reported recently throughout the Denver area. No law enforcement agency contacts citizens by phone, email, fax, etc., to require payment of funds for warrants, fees or fines. Citizens should always be wary of anyone demanding money for any reason. For more information, contact Dep. Scott Sickafoose at 720-874-4040 or ssickafoose@ arapahoegov.com.

Cash advantage goes to Hickenlooper Donations to governor’s campaign dwarf Beauprez’s numbers by $3M By Vic Vela

Gov. John Hickenlooper has raised more than four times as much money as former Congressman Bob Beauprez in the two rivals’ gubernatorial campaign dash for cash. Hickenlooper has raised $4 million to Beauprez’s haul of about $828,000, according to the latest financial disclosures from the campaigns. Hickenlooper’s cash advantage was helped by the $545,791 that was donated to his campaign during the reporting period of July 27 through Aug. 27 — the incumbent governor’s largest single-month haul. Beauprez raised $223,510 during the recent reporting period. Hickenlooper campaign spokesman Eddie Stern attributes the fundraising success to an economy that is gaining steam, thanks to lower unemployment and 33 consecutive months of job growth. “We are humbled by the amount of support we’ve received from people across Colorado,” said Stern. Beauprez campaign spokesman Allen Fuller isn’t impressed with Hickenlooper’s cash haul. “Every day it seems like there’s another example of why John Hickenlooper isn’t fit to lead Colorado,” Fuller said. “He’s going to need every dime he can get.” The Beauprez campaign has hammered Hickenlooper on areas of “failed leadership,” which they hope will resonate with voters. They include attacks on Hickenlooper’s evolving position on the death penalty. The Beauprez campaign has been highly critical of Hickenlooper’s decision to grant an indefinite reprieve for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap. Rather than punching back, the Hickenlooper campaign continues to run positive ads. The governor’s healthy cash haul has allowed his campaign to purchase $1.7 million in all-positive television advertising for September and October. The Beauprez campaign is being helped by $1.8 million in advertising spending from the Republican Governors Association. After spending is factored in, the Hickenlooper campaign has $760,427 cash on hand to Beauprez’s $334,365.

coming to Lone Tree Free event will be held at arts center By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dementia is a condition that eventually touches everyone in some way. “Fifty percent of those over 85 will develop some form of dementia,” said David Geras, CEO of Denver’s GoldLeaf Care Givers. “Unless we find a cure, the other half of us will be caregivers.” The impact of the disease is the focus of the free “Understanding Dementia” seminar set for 8 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Sept. 27 at the Lone Tree Arts Center. Designed for all ages, the morning session will offer insight on dementia and all Potter its forms, as well as recent medical breakthroughs and research into Alzheimer’s disease. MorningStar Senior Living, the company currently building senior living centers in Lone Tree, Parker and Castle Rock, will provide breakfast for the event, coordinated by the Living and Aging Well in Lone Tree committee. Speakers include Dr. Huntington Potter of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center and Natalie Grace of Lakewood-based Azura Memory Care. Geras will introduce the speakers. “Alzheimer’s is becoming a pandemic in this country and the world,” he said. “It’s the only cause of death in the top 10 (causes) that is not treatable, reversible, curable or preventable. You can take care of heart disease or diabetes, but Alzheimer’s? There’s no cure.”

Dementia is a general term for loss of memory and other mental abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia, accounting for an estimated 60 to 80 percent of all cases. Geras not only works with seniors but has family members impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia. “The reason it’s becoming more prevalent in our society is because we’re living a lot longer,” he said. “Also, our lifestyle and environment is probably not causing it directly, but leads to faster, quicker onset of the disease.” One of the speakers, Potter, has discovered a genetic link between Alzheimer’s and Down syndrome. He’s also studying the potential medical applications of a protein released in those with rheumatoid arthritis; sufferers of that form of arthritis don’t develop Alzheimer’s. “If he’s successful, there will be a version of Leukine on the market to treat Alzheimer’s; it’ll be the first drug ever to improve symptoms of Alzheimer’s,” Geras said. About 90 people already have reserved seats for the seminar, which can accommodate about 175. Given the broad impact of dementia, the Living and Aging Well committee expects a full house for the free event. “Dementia affects all kinds of people,” said committee member Sharon Van Ramshorst. “It’s something that really disrupts families, and is very difficult to understand and deal with.” The committee, formed in early 2012, coordinates monthly speakers and lunches at the Lone Tree Golf Club. An estimated 25 percent of Lone Tree’s population will be 55 and older by 2017. To RSVP for the seminar, call 303-2254930.

‘CITYSCAPES’ as art

Town Hall exhibit has urban look By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Town Hall Arts Center’s exhibit coordinator, Nancy Boyson, is trying to plan exhibits for the Littleton venue’s Stanton Gallery that relate to what’s playing upstairs in the theater. In this case, the musical is “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and she thought a city/architectural theme would work. Painters Elayne Moseley, Alan Zeigel and Sue Fraley open a show called “The Art of Cityscapes” on Sept. 11, running through Nov. 5. Moseley exhibits work from her “Architectural Lingua” series, including the view of Denver’s Golden Triangle, painted en plein air while seated outside.

She works in oil paint with traditional brushes on stretched canvas. She thinks “one’s artwork must reflect that journey that the artist takes and express it in such a way that the viewer feels the artist’s passion.” She teaches drawing at the Art Students League of Denver and works in her home studio as well as outdoors. Alan Zeigel was trained in watercolor while a student in architecture at CU/Boulder. He lived in France and traveled in Europe, Asia and South America. He was a founder of OZ Architecture with Tom Obermeier, then returned to watercolor, studying at the Art Students League of Denver. He is a Signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and exhibits at Bell Gallery. Sue Fraley said her interest in painting urban scenes began after a visit to Zihuatanejo, a small fishing village on the west coast of Mexico, with luminous white and pastel buildings.

IF YOU GO Stanton Gallery is located in Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances. “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” runs Sept. 12 through Oct. 12. 303794-2787, townhallartscenter.org. When she got home, she painted a number of works from her photographs. She then began to explore Denver’s architecture. She works in oil and paints outdoors on many days. For 25 years, she worked as an architectural drafter and bases most of her paintings on street scenes in downtown Denver. She is a member of the Art Students League of Denver and participates in the annual Summer Art Market there.

It sounded like a match made in Republican heaven when Monica Owens, daughter of former Gov. Bill Owens and ex-wife Frances, and John Beauprez, professional poker player and marketing specialist and son of governor wannabe Bob Beauprez and wife Claudia, got engaged on the Fourth of July. And if the upcoming gubernatorial election goes their way, Monica could have the distinction of being the daughter and daughter-in-law of two Colorado governors. The cute couple celebrated their engagement among friends and family on Aug. 30. On her Facebook page, Monica said that as of Aug. 28, the wedding was exactly six months away. Monica, a Republican pundit and owner of Owens Public Affairs, and John, who’s all over social media for his poker prowess, found each other when John’s mom, Claudia, strategically seated the young’uns next to each other at a black-tie dinner. And just in case you want to give the betrothed a wedding gift, they are registered at www.registry.theknot.com/monica-owensjohn-beauprez-february-2015/9018648.

Kevin Taylor comes to Aurora

Denver’s Kevin Taylor Restaurant Group, helmed by renowned chef Kevin Taylor, will open a new restaurant and beer hall in the recently announced development Stanley Marketplace at 2501 Dallas St. in Aurora, just a few feet from the southern border of Stapleton. Unlike Taylor’s other Denver restaurants, which include Palettes at the Denver Art Museum, Kevin Taylor’s at the Opera House and Limelight Supper Club & Lounge, this restaurant and beer hall will exist in a casual industrial atmosphere, highlighting the architecture of the former Stanley Aviation Building, where airplane ejector seats were manufactured for roughly 50 years. The menu will offer items made with locally sourced produce, as well as craft beer and local wines and spirits. “I’m excited to move forward with our next venture in a different way,” said Taylor. “Approachable restaurants are the future, and I believe we can provide the level of cuisine for which we’re known, but in a way that is appealing to everyone, and fits within Stanley, and the surrounding community, perfectly.”

Littleton bear artist heads for top show Hugglets festival in London isn’t kid stuff By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Early on the morning of Sept. 14, a line will form outside the Kensington Town Hall on Hornton Street in London (by Kensington Gardens). These individuals hope to be among the first to enter the Hugglets Teddy Bear Festival — three floors of booths in four halls — featuring 170 teddy bear artists and vendors of related items. The choice bears sell fast. The organizers promise that there will be over 10,000 teddy bears available to collectors. The bears are not kids’ toys — they are pricey collector treasures, beloved worldwide. Among the exhibitors from Britain and around the world will be bear artist Michelle Lamb of Littleton, who will bring the newest creations from her business, One and Only Bears. She will exhibit about 15-20 one-of-akind meticulously detailed bears (large and miniature), rabbits and a squirrel. Some wear beautifully made costumes and all have carefully sculpted mouths, eyes, ears and noses that give them a distinct personality. She speaks of her art as “soft sculpture.” Included: a red, white and blue drummer named Britain and a tall pink mohair rabbit — reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland’s perpetually late friend. The latter has a starched collar and leans against a small trellis with flowers. Dark gray mohair “Argenta” has a greenish cast and sports a green ruff and skirt, plus a hat of felt flowers. “Arabella,” dressed in elaborate frock and hat, was displeasing her maker when we visited: The eyes didn’t “look right.” Eyes were also an issue with a tiny white “Troubadour” bear, but we are certain proper adjustments were made before their travels began. Lamb departed a week early for a special teddy bear tea at a shop in Aberdeen, Scotland, called Silly Bear. (“Winnie-the-Pooh” fans will recall Christopher Robin’s affectionate “silly old bear” expression.) Lamb had previously shipped 10 bears for this collectors’ event. While at Hugglets, Lamb will teach a class in needle sculpting and shaping a bear’s head and mouth — her specialty. Participants will bring a pre-cut and filled bear head with them. Sometimes when she teaches, she supplies patterns for her students. And she will work with two students from abroad after she returns to Denver, she said. She hopes all her bears will sell early — although they will remain on display through the day. Then she can shop. She buys her special mohair at these shows — much of it comes from Germany, the home of the famous Steiff teddy bears. She also prowls resale stores continually for old mohair coats, but not so many are available any more. She may also locate odd jewelry, buttons, bits of ribbons, lace and fabric that go into her collection of treasures — slated to reappear later on new bears. (A visit to her studio summons up an image of an old curiosity cabinet.) Lamb said she was working in design and

She started crafts and made “craft-quality bears” and other items. In 2000, One and Only Bears came to life as she learned what was involved in making an “artist-quality” bear. Her website speaks of her involvement in this highly specialized universe: “The ability to create beauty from such disparate parts as fabric, hardware, glass and fluffy filler remains a constant wonder to me and my goal is for this same wonder to come across in the faces of my teddy bears. They are individually designed to have their own unique personality and I spend as much time as necessary to needle and sculpt a face until its `soul’ comes out and speaks to me …” She finishes one to two bears a week, which makes it hard to keep up with demand.

Bounty like this from a Colorado garden gets a head start with proper winterizing. Photo by Heather Ridge

Winterizing gives gardens a boost Simple steps smooth way for next year’s harvest By Heather Ridge

Special to Colorado Community Media When seed catalogs come out in the early spring, eager gardeners can be spotted trudging through the snow to plan out where they’ll plant their zucchini and zinnias. And after a long, hot August of weeding and watering, many gardeners pick their final harvest and let the cooling temperatures and first blanket of frost lull their garden to sleep for the season. Here in Colorado, however, putting a garden to bed properly for the winter can be just as important as waking it up in the spring. A few simple steps taken this autumn can lead to an easier, more bountiful harvest next year.

Clean up

While leaving a bit of stubble from harvested crops is becoming more common in field crops to prevent soil erosion, it causes more harm than good in a home garden. Pests and diseases, such as aphids and powdery mildew, are able to winter over in Colorado as eggs and spores, and leaving old tomato plants and squash stems in your garden beds give them a place to wait out the winter months under the snow. After the first frosts, pull out all your leftover crop material and throw it on the compost pile. The exception to this is any bean or pea plants. Legumes — members of the Fabaceae family — are able to add necessary nitrogen to the soil using a symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria around their roots. Snip these off at the soil level and leave the roots and their helpful bacteria in the ground for next spring.

Add compost

As your garden grows, plants take up nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in large quantities, along with smaller amounts of other micronutrients such as magnesium and iron. Different plants need different amounts of these essential elements, which is why it’s a good idea to rotate crops from year to year between heavy feeders, such as garden greens and tomatoes, and lighter feeders like beets and other root crops. Adding compost to the top of your garden beds each year is a great way to make nutrients more available for all crops. A 3-inch layer laid down in the fall will break down slowly over the winter and improve both fertility and water-holding capabilities for plant roots later on. Spreading compost in the fall rather than the spring means fresh compost will not “burn” tender seedlings with high levels of ammonia.

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The audience is surrounded by grimy alleys and a fenced junkyard at The Edge Theater for a theater-in-the-round production of “A Steady Rain.” Lights are low except for spots on the two cops — buddies since childhood — who guide us on a downward path as they work their beat. The furnishings consist of three metal stools. Lighting is effective and tense background music floats through the grungy alleys. Two strong actors, Rick Yaconis (Denny) and Scott Bellot ( Joey), tell their stories with a Chicago street-talk flavor as they discuss the pimps, prostitutes, thieves, a serial killer and others who cross their paths while they patrol the rough neighborhood where they grew up. Both have been passed over for promotion to detective several times, due to racist talk and other problems. Denny is married, with kids, and is proud of being a family man — although he has a side interest. Joey is a lonely bachelor who drinks too much — and has dinner with Denny and family often.

FARM & AGRICULTURE

Use mulch Many people think mulch is only for perennial beds and under trees, but a heavy layer of leaves or grass clippings on top of your composted beds will hold in moisture, keep temperature more constant and prevent weed seeds from taking hold in your vegetable garden as well. Rather than bagging them, spread fallen leaves thickly onto your beds and let them sit through the winter. They will not break down much but will be easy to rake back in a thick layer and compost in the spring, exposing warmer and more nutrient-rich soil for planting in March. Not only will this method protect your garden soil, it will save your back from all the bagging and raking and give you time to sit back and enjoy your bountiful back yard.

Hard-boiled play on Lakewood stage `A Steady Rain’ stays with theater’s `edgy’ approach

PIANO LESSONS!

Beginners to Advanced (5+) 303 990-1595.

IF YOU GO “A Steady Rain” runs through Sept. 28 at The Edge Theater, 1560 Teller St., Lakewood. (Rick Yaconis is Edge executive director and Scott Bellot is resident director.) Performances: 8 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 6 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $24, online at theedgetheater.com or 303-232-0363.

A gunshot begins and ends “A Steady Rain” by Keith Huff, which premiered in Chicago in 2007 and ran a stretch of soldout performances on Broadway in 2009, when Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig inhabited the bodies of Denny and Joey for a few months. The play is a good choice for The Edge Theater as it seeks to present “edgy” works. The initial shot shatters Denny’s living room window, injuring his youngest son and enraging Denny, who starts a hunt for the guy he suspects and heads into a tailspin of drink, drugs and bad behavior. The two make a serious error in judgment one night in the alleys — with dismissal looming for the one determined to be at fault. Tension builds. And, it rains, night after night … in a cruel world. Mature language and story would make this unsuitable for young family members, but offers much to think about — which one seeks from well-done theater.

Colorado Ballet gets home of its own Renovated warehouse stands at north end of arts district By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com For the first time in its 54-year history, the Colorado Ballet owns its home. The organization recently left its longtime location at 13th and Lincoln (owned by the State Land Board) and moved into 1075 Santa Fe Drive, a former warehouse. A capital campaign raised funds for the $6.5 million facility. It was transformed into 30,000 square feet of renovated space, tailored to the ballet company’s needs by Semple Brown Design. The firm also designed the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, where Colorado Ballet dancers perform regularly (as well as at the Newman Center). The new facility, which houses the professional company and the Colorado Ballet Academy, features seven studios and a Black Box Theater, which also serves as a studio with theatrical lighting. Here the company

can expand outreach to its new neighbors and people with disabilities — and offer small performances in the theater, according to artistic director Gil Boggs. Expect student performances in the Black Box Theater on First Fridays, for example. “The search for a new space for the Colorado Ballet has been our priority for nearly a decade, thus the opportunity to turn a quiet structure in Santa Fe Drive into a theatrical showcase for the dancers and organization has truly been an honor,” Boggs said. In addition to providing the organization with a permanent home, the location is a new anchor at the north end of the thriving arts district. The company begins an expanded season on Sept. 26 with a production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, followed by “Dracula” from Oct. 31-Nov. 2 and “The Nutcracker” from Nov. 26 to Dec. 27. In 2015, programs will include “Ballet Masterworks” and “Peter and the Wolf.” Tickets: coloradoballet.org or 303-8378888, ext. 2. The organization presents more than 50 performances annually.

Tier II groups named by grant agency SCFD doles out tax money for arts, culture By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com In 1988, Denver metro-area residents voted to create the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District. The SCFD has, between 1989 and 2013, distributed more than $804 million to more than 300 creative organizations via the 0.1 percent (1 cent on every $10) retail sales tax in the seven-county district — and generated national recognition. The included counties are: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas (except for Castle Rock and Larkspur, which

opted out) and Jefferson. Funds are to be used for “production, presentation or preservation of art, music, theater, dance, zoology, botany, natural history or cultural history.” (Voters will be asked to renew the tax district in 2018.) Eligible organizations are divided into three tiers: Tier I includes the biggest organizations: Denver Art Museum, Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Denver Zoological Gardens. They receive 65.5 percent of SCFD funds each year. The next group of 28 Tier II organizations, recently named by the overall SCFD Board of Directors, must have an annual operating income of at least $1,514, 482 for the prior year. Five south area locations are included: Hudson Gardens and Event Center, Lone Tree Arts Center, Parker Cultural Department, Swallow

Hill Music Association (building in Denver, parking across the street in Englewood), and The Wildlife Experience. Each of the 28 will share in 21 percent of annual SCFD funds. (Ninety-five percent of this amount may be used for general operations and 5 percent is designated for programs or projects that address regional impact, quality, need, accessibility, collaboration, innovation or enhancement, according to an SCFD news release.) Distributions will be announced after the first of 2015. Tier III organizations, which have lower operating budgets, will be named next. They number about 300 and include such organizations as Town Hall Arts Center; Littleton Symphony; Arapahoe Philharmonic; Lone Tree Symphony; Wonderbound Ballet Company, which appears at Lone Tree and Parker

this season; Young Voices of Colorado; South Suburban Parks and Recreation; Englewood Recreation Department’s Summer Musical program; Parker Symphony; Voices West; and many more. Names of qualifying groups will be announced soon for the next distribution. Each organization has submitted detailed budgetary and operating information to its county cultural council. Area representatives on the SCFD board include chairman Dan Hopkins of Arapahoe County and Kathryn Spuhler, who was a 10year member of Douglas County’s Cultural Council and assisted in developing the county’s cultural plan. More information, including how to qualify, is available by contacting scfd@ scfd.org.

Avoiding that unhealthy glow Products offer tan skin without risky UV rays By Melanie Fischer

Special to Colorado Community Media As summer ends and autumn begins, temperatures throughout Colorado begin to fall, and soon long-sleeve shirts, pants, sweaters and jackets become everyone’s clothing items of choice. As a result, the tan you worked so hard to achieve during the warm summer months will be virtually invisible because it will be hidden under layers of clothing. Knowing this, is it really worthwhile to maintain your tan during Colorado’s cold months? Nobody’s going to see it anyway, right? It’s almost impossible to naturally sustain tan skin during the fall, winter and spring in Colorado. The weather is simply too cold to lie outside on a beach chair in a bathing suit, slathered in tanning oil, from September through May. But despite the fact that outdoor tanning is not an option in Colorado for many months out of the year, people often opt for other tanning methods so they can maintain their golden-toned skin year round. However, it’s important to keep in mind that some types of tanning mechanisms are much safer than others. Earlier this year, the federal Food and Drug Administration issued a final order that reclassified sunlamp products (which include tanning beds) as “moderate-risk” devices. Also, the FDA is now requiring that a highly visible warning label be placed on all sunlamp products. The warning label will specifically state that nobody under the age of 18 should use any type of sunlamp due to the risk to the user’s health. With their new FDA classification, it’s highly possible that the popularity of tanning beds will drop significantly for people of all ages. So what are your other choices?

Spray tanning using an airbrush is one way to keep that bronze look during the colder months. Stock photo If achieving tan skin is a top priority for you, even when the weather is cold, your goal is entirely possible. And you can even attain golden-toned skin while avoiding potentially harmful tanning salons, sunlamps, and other damaging ultraviolet radiation exposure. Here are three of the most popular sunless tanning methods that don’t involve exposure to dangerous radiation: The first option is spray tanning. It’s possible to spray-tan your entire body to achieve any level of golden-toned skin that you desire (from light to dark). You can apply a spray tan yourself, or you can opt for a professional application. Another option is tanning towels. Many beauty brands

manufacture these products. The towels are pre-soaked with a sunless tanning product that can be easily applied to your face, legs, or entire body. Finally, there is sunless tanning lotion. This product is easy to use. Simply purchase a bottle (which is relatively inexpensive), and rub it into your skin. Most brands of sunless tanning lotion begin tanning your skin on contact. You can use as little or as much as you want, depending on the skin tone you desire. If you want to keep your skin tan, look into these methods to achieve your goal safely. You can have skin that is tan-looking all year round without the risk involved with UV exposure.

Families, friends walk to share stories, support Fifth annual event unites 1,500 in suicide prevention By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com

ony and Valerie Marietta, who lost their daughter to suicide, almost didn’t come to the Sept. 6 South Metro Out of the Darkness Walk. “We weren’t emotionally sure we could do it,” said Tony Marietta, carrying a large, full-color poster displaying four photographs of his late daughter with the quote, `Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness to pull another hand into the light.’ “But we just decided it was something we should do.” The Mariettas were living in Monument in March 2012 when Sarah, 22, jumped off the Royal Gorge bridge. A high school and college athlete, as well as a ballet dancer, she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 19. “She had the most severe form of bipolar disorder,” Tony Marietta said. “But she had just a very good personality. She was funny, too. We were real hopeful everything was going well … when we got the phone call.”

The Mariettas, dedicated not just to suicide prevention but bipolar awareness, were among several groups of people at Highlands Ranch High School carrying signs with photographs of loved ones’ faces or wearing matching T-shirts bearing the name or photograph of a family member or friend lost to suicide. More than 1,500 people walked in the annual event, among hundreds of walks nationwide organized by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The Highlands Ranch event raised more than $90,000 that will be used for suicide awareness and prevention. “I felt like I need to be an advocate,” said Littleton resident Rhonda Watson, who lost her 50-year-old sister Cherianne Matzenbacher of Roxborough to suicide four months ago. “If it wasn’t for the support group I was going to, I felt like I could be in the same situation she was.” Watson wore a T-shirt that depicted a smiling blonde woman wearing an orange boa. “She was my best friend,” Watson said. “But we couldn’t save her. “We need to be more open and talk about (suicide).” Cathy Kennedy, whose friends and family wore orange T-shirts bearing a photographed head shot of her 16-yearold son Cory, moved back to the Denver area from New York after he died from suicide in July 2012. “He’s missed dearly,” said Cathy Ken-

Dozens of butterflies are released into the air above Highlands Ranch High School during the annual ceremony that signals the start of the South Metro Out of the Darkness Walk. See additional photos on Page 3. Photos by Jane Reuter nedy, whose 2014 walk was her fourth since his death. “We’re out here to represent, to get people to talk about these things.” Though the morning event started under gray skies and with cool temperatures, the sun broke through at about 10:45 a.m. near the end of opening ceremonies. Volunteers released several dozen butterflies into the air, which soared above the hundreds of walkers as they left the parking lot and began the

3-mile walk. The annual event, now in its fifth year, initially was organized by Sheri Cole, who lost her son David to suicide in 2009. Cole now is the AFSP’s Rocky Mountain area director. This year’s South Metro Walk chair is Laurie Freeman, who lost both her teenaged son and her husband to suicide. The week of Sept. 8-12 is National Suicide Prevention Week.

The Centennial ViewHouse, once the site of the Trail Dust, is a two-level restaurant with a large groundlevel patio., featuring numerous water features.

ViewHouse opens in Centennial Massive venue offers more than your typical restaurant By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com The ViewHouse opened Aug. 29 in Centennial, leading into the public opening with an Aug. 28 sneak peek event that drew 800 people for an evening of complimentary drinks and food. The site was home for 30 years to the Trail Dust Steak House, which closed in 2009. Rhythms bar opened there in 2010, but closed after one year. The building was vacant until the ViewHouse’s owners bought

it in 2013. No sign remains of the iconic red, barnlike structure that was the Trail Dust, though the ViewHouse used the rear portion of the original structure as part of its extensive remodel. The building that occupies the site now is sleek, with a dark roof and large glass panels that take advantage of the mountain vistas. The massive venue, which fronts Interstate 25 on Clinton Road, includes a large, groundlevel bar with a 200-inch television — reportedly the largest in a Colorado restaurant or bar. A separate dining area on the same level that is devoid of televisions is designed to provide a quieter atmosphere. Two private dining rooms are also available. The outdoor patio has an

8,000-square-foot courtyard with a net for volleyball or badminton and cornhole boards, cabana-style seating surrounding several water features, a stage and another bar. The restaurant’s second level includes a third large bar area and outdoor deck with mountain views. The Centennial ViewHouse plans to host weekly bands on its outdoor stage. It is the restaurant’s second location; the first is in downtown Denver. In contrast to the downtown site, the Centennial menu will include more upscale dining options. The widely varied menu includes flatbreads, pizza, salmon, ribeye, pork chops, bass, tacos, burgers, an ex-

Opa! Prost! Cheers! European fest brings traditional food, dance, more to Highlands Ranch By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Vikings were a global force — they raided and traded everywhere. So it’s no surprise they made an appearance at the seventh annual Colorado European Festival, which took place Sept. 6 at Civic Green Park in Highlands Ranch. The Fjellborg Vikings, a living history group, were at the festival to teach people about the age of the Viking, which was 8001000 A.D., said Fjellborg Vikings member Anya Bowman. Vikings affected all of Europe, she said, and the impact is far-reaching in history and culture. “We’re representing a time of turbulence,” Bowman said, “the early time when Christi-

anity was coming to Europe. It’s a cool time period.” Along with the fighting demonstrations put on by the Fjellborg Vikings, attendees got to see performances from groups representing 11 different European cultures. Performances on the amphitheater stage at the park included musical concerts, cultural dances and a beauty contest. Several European-American communities were at the festival representing their homeland’s culture, including people from the following countries: Ireland, Scotland, Greece, Spain, Germany, Italy, Britain, France, Russia, Romania, the Ukraine, Sweden, Slovenia, Poland, among others. “We tried to involve all European cultures,” event organizer Lidia Wiggery said. “We just want to bring everyone together.” A main attraction of the festival was the European cuisine and beer garden. People were able to try traditional foods in the form of baked goods, meats and side dishes. “It’s so people can try something different and enjoy the atmosphere,” Wiggery said.

The Centennial ViewHouse main bar includes a 200-inch television. tensive wine list and a selection of craft brews. Prices range from about $10 for a burger or taco to

$28 for a 14-ounce ribeye. The ViewHouse is at 7101 S. Clinton Street.

Eagles sink Sabercats for first win Heritage uses balanced attack and tough defense to best Castle View By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage fans might have gone home hoarse because the Eagles’ football team gave them so much to cheer about Sept. 5 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. The Eagles got the best of Castle View, 35-7 in non-league action. “Our kids played very well tonight,” Heritage coach Tyler Knoblock said after the game. “We felt like when we watched the films that our players did a lot of good things in weeks one and two. We told them to keep executing every play and the breaks will start coming our way.” The victory raised the Eagles’ record to 1-2. They were on the road Sept. 11 at the Stutler Bowl against Overland and will play a home game Sept. 19 against Grand Junction. Heritage will then kick off league play at home in the newly created Metro South League on Sept. 26 against rival Arapahoe. With just over five minutes left in the first quarter Sept. 5, a well-placed Castle View punt pinned the Eagles on their own 1-yard line. On third-and-six, Heritage quarterback Chase Hansen fired a swing pass to Tim Pless, who got a couple blocks as he turned on the speed and went 95 yards for a touchdown. Will Herzl added the extra point to give the Eagles a 7-0 lead. In the second quarter, Hansen passed to Jared Leonard on a 25-yard touchdown play and, later in the quarter, Alex Null picked off a Sabercat pass and carried it 50 yards to the end zone. Herzl kicked both extra points to give Heritage a 21-0 halftime lead. The Eagle offense kept clicking as, in the third quarter, Hansen and Pless teamed up on a 50-yard touchdown pass play. Herzl then made the kick for a 28-0 score. Castle View got on the scoreboard late in the third as Erik Taylor took a pitchout, the blockers opened a seam, and he turned on the speed, racing 35 yards for the touchdown. Parker Strahler kicked the extra point to make the score 28-7. Ryan Mudadi added a rushing touchdown late to cap the Eagles 35-7 win. Knoblock praised his players after the

Arapahoe drops close contest on court Chaparral bounces back in lengthy volleyball match, wins 3-1 By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Warriors contested every point all night and even snagged the first set, but Chaparral bounced back to win three sets in a row to take the Sept. 3 non-league volleyball match, 3-1. “We only have four starters returning but we have good players who were on the JV last year so moving up to varsity was a natural progression giving us a talented team,” Warrior coach Jordan Wright said after the game. “This was a challenging match against a good volleyball team. It was pretty even most of the time but Chaparral was able to keep the momentum at certain times that were crucial.” The Warriors (5-3) lost another non-league match, 3-1, on Sept. 5 at Chatfield and are idle until they open league play Sept. 16 at Overland. The next Arapahoe is at home will be at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 23 against Mullen. Volleyball fans got their money’s worth watching the Sept. 3 Arapahoe-Chaparral match. Points were hotly contested on both sides of the net. Long volleys were frequent and often kept going by a player diving to the floor to keep the ball in play or teammates reacting quickly to make sure the ball didn’t hit the floor when one of their spikes was suc-

cessfully blocked back to their side of the net. Arapahoe got out to an early lead in the first set but the Wolverines came back to make the score close, until the Warriors posted the 25-22 win. The challenging play continued through the next three sets with Chaparral’s scoring runs coming late and enabling them to win, 25-22, 25-22 and 25-20 to take the match. Although she wasn’t happy her team lost, Wright smiled as she talked about her Warrior career. “This is my first year as head coach and my seventh year coaching at Arapahoe,” she said. “However, I played volleyball for four years here and becoming head coach is something I have wanted since I got on the Arapahoe coaching staff.” She said former head coach Cara Seyers taught her a lot in the six seasons she spent as an assistant coach. Seyers announced at the start of last season that she would be retiring at the end of season to spend more time with her family. “We have a lot of talent on this team,” Wright said of this year’s team. “I have coached most of these players so I know their capabilities and potentials. While we have a lot of things to work on, we have time to be ready to start league play in two weeks.” Senior Justine Langas is a team captain and, after the game, she said the Chaparral match was good, challenging and a lot of fun. She said it is a lot of pressure to be a leader but Volleyball continues on Page 28

Worth the wait: Horschel wins BMW Tournament at Cherry Hills sets up PGA Tour’s playoff finale By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Billy Horschel hit his second shot on the 18th hole and then sprinted up the hill to visit the restroom. Horschel obviously had more on his mind than winning the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club, but he really didn’t have much to worry about on the tournament’s final hole. “I’m sure the whole world saw me sprint,” said Horschel. “I had to go to the bathroom and I had been holding it for way too many holes, and I just felt like, I could sort of relax and let’s just go ahead to the bathroom before I can’t go. “We knew Bubba (Watson) missed his birdie putt and we knew we had a two-shot lead. So that was huge.” Horschel, the 27-year-old Floridian, closed with a 1-under par 69 on Sept. 7 after rounds of 68, 66 and 63 for a 14-under par 266 total. He won by two shots over Watson, who had a final-round 66, in Colorado’s first PGA Tour event since 2006. The victory was worth a first-place check of $1.44 million for Horschel and 2,500 FedEx points. “This win means a lot to me,” Horschel said of his second PGA victory. “I didn’t have my great stuff and I was able to grind something out and get the victory at the end of the day.” It was a better outcome than at the Deutsche Bank Championship Sept. 1, when a bad 6-iron shot on the 18th hole dropped Horschel into a second-place tie. Watson, who struggled making putts the entire tournament inside 12 feet, had three consecutive rounds of 66 after an openinground par 70. “I played solid all week,” said Watson. “I had a chance on the last hole to scare (Horschel), but obviously I didn’t make the putt and he played pretty solid.” Morgan Hoffmann, who shot a thirdround Cherry Hill competitive courserecord 62, had a closing 7-under-par 63 to come in third with a 269 total. Hoffman’s final two rounds marked the low 36-round

Course, Colorado up to challenge Cherry Hills draws rave reviews following BMW Championship By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Hills Country Club is a traditional, classic course with subtle greens and short yardage to tantalize professional golfers. However, the course held up well during the BMW Championship that concluded Sept. 7, and large crowds left golfers and fans wondering if the 92-year-old club could again host another prominent PGA tournament. Professional Golf Association and Western Golf Association administrators indicated that Colorado and Cherry Hills would be considered. “The course was good,” said Billy Horschel who won the BMW with a 14-under par 266. “Hopefully we can come back in the future. Hopefully there will be a regular tour (event) out here in Denver because a lot of fans came out this week and supported us. “So hopefully we can get another PGA Tour event back here because it’s a great place.” More than 125,000 fans attended the four days of the tournament — the penultimate stop in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs — at the course in Cherry Hills Village. That impressed Rory McIlroy. “The fans and crowds were amazing all week,” he said. “It’s a beautiful area and it was a pleasure to play in front of so many people.” The BMW was the first men’s professional tournament in Colorado since the 2010 Senior PGA Championship was held at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker. The last regular Colorado stop on the PGA Tour was in 2006 at the International, which was played at Castle Pines. “It was a home run,” said Colorado Golf Association executive director Ed Mate when asked about the BMW. “It was a home run because I couldn’t image anything going any better.

“It was a record-setting event for the Western Golf Association and we haven’t seen the final figures yet. The golf course played well and the crowds were fantastic and the fact that the governor and mayor came out speaks volumes of the golf support in Colorado. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was a little more dramatic finish.” Cherry Hills hosted its 11th PGA Tour championship event and the biggest problem BMW officials faced was finding alternate parking arrangements because some lots were unavailable because of rain that soaked the area the evening of Sept. 4. Players complained a little about what they called concrete greens during the first round Sept. 4 but the rain softened the greens for the final three rounds. The three toughest holes on the course were the 247-yard, par 3 15th; the 204-yard, par 2 12th; and the 526-yard, par 4 fifth hole. McIlroy found the 12th extremely tough as he four-putted twice on the green. The 346-yard first hole was inviting for the long hitters who tried to match Arnold Palmer’s feat of driving the green in the 1960 U.S. Open with equipment and balls that didn’t measure up to the modern gear. Only 10 of the 177 golfers that tried to drive the green actually had their tee shots come to rest on the putting surface. There was just one eagle made from the group of 10 golfers. Scoring average on the par-70, 7,352yard course was 69.84 for the tournament as players adjusted quickly to the altitude, which allows the ball to carry farther than at sea level. “I don’t think it was that difficult because you just put 10 percent into your yardages and pretty much play the same numbers,” said Morgan Hoffmann, who set a competitive course record with a third-round 62 and his final-round score of 63 vaulted him into a third-place finish. “So if you trust the yardage, it’s obviously going to look a little further than the number. But if you trust it, it wasn’t a problem for most players. I don’t think they had much difficulty.”

she is confident in her team and trusts every girl on the court and bench. “I am excited to play volleyball with new teammates and know they have my back out on the court,” she said. “My varsity experience has helped me improve as a player and to help be a senior leader for our team.” She said she plays and practices volleyball all year and that has helped her improve her skills. “I think my defense by (has improved) setting up the blocking to shut down those outside alleys,” she said. “The goal is to set up and make the blocks in a way the other defenders can set up and make the plays. My attacking has also improved as my swings are better this year.” Langas said she has worked hard to improve her serves but she didn’t have a good night serving against Chaparral. “There was a lot of pressure and that is when mental toughness is needed to make the plays,” she said. “Pressure serves is one of the areas we plan to work on in practice.

We also are getting good play from our underclassmen.” He said the team has great skill players while the young offensive line is coming together and every single week they are looking better and better. “We are looking to get our offense back to be balanced and strong in passing and running. Then we’ll be in really good shape,” he said. “Our defense has been strong all season. They made adjustments against the teams we played in our first two games to help stay competitive. Heritage had a strong defense last year and our coaches have made the tweaks necessary to make sure they are strong defensively this year.” One of the defensive leaders is Frank Umu. “It was fun out there tonight as I was able to shoot the gap and get after the guy with the ball a lot,” the 6-5, 282-pound senior said. “I think my favorite play of the night was when I got through and sacked the quarterback down deep in their territory.” He said he has always been a lineman and likes playing defense best. “I like going after the ballcarrier and I like to hit people,” he said with a smile.
