No interim city manager yet in Littleton Council divided over appointing current public works director By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton City Council held off on appointing Public Works Director Mark Relph as the interim city manager at the July 5 meeting, the first regular meeting since Michael Penny was fired as city manager on June 14. City staff will draft an employment
contract for Relph — the only candidate to emerge so far for the interim post — at the next regular council meeting July 19. Councilmembers Phil Cernanec and Debbie Brinkman wanted further discussion and interviews Relph with any candidates before an interim is appointed and were the only members to vote against the motion, made by Mayor Bruce Beckman.
Cernanec said appointing Relph as interim city manager could also pose problems as the city faces ongoing litigation over The Grove, a controversial mixed-use development that was approved administratively by city staff. “My understanding is the public works director also was involved in some discretionary decisions on that front,” Cernanec said. Cernanec also said he is concerned with the idea because Relph would be working on a budget while his department has its own large budget items.
“He may be the best-qualified person, but I think we ought to at least be in the position to consider others,” he said. But Relph, who has been at the city for about 14 months after holding similar positions in Grand Junction and Shoreline, Washington, is the only city department head interested in filling the role, Deputy City Manager Mike Braaten said. Braaten, who has been the acting city manager since Penny’s firing, doesn’t want the position either, saying he is best Interim continues on Page 5

Warehouse now city’s first distillery
A vote to disband Littleton’s urban renewal authority has been postponed again, this time until October. In March, a motion to direct staff to draft an ordinance to dismantle Littleton Invests for Tomorrow and repeal the city’s four urban renewal plan areas passed 5-2, with Councilmembers Debbie Brinkman and Bill Hopping opposing it. However, LIFT avoided the chopping block when the ordinance came back to the council in April, as a motion by Brinkman to table the matter and have a study session passed. Now that two study sessions with the LIFT and planning boards have taken place, the motion came back for a first reading at the July 5 meeting, but was pulled from the consent calendar by Councilmember Phil Cernanec. Mayor Bruce Beckman now believes the ordinance should be split into two parts: Vote continues on Page 5

Tucked away on a side street in downtown Littleton, Rocker Spirits is aiming to sell Coloradans alcoholic beverages that aren’t beer. “I’ve always been a whiskey drinker,” said co-owner Duston Evans. “I’ve never been a beer drinker.” Evans has owned the 4,500-square-foot warehouseturned-distillery on South Hill Street since 1997, using it for his
construction businesses and to house his old cars and trucks. He and his lawyer, Pat Johnson, had long talked of starting a small distillery, and Johnson also knew Nick Hutch, who had been working at another distillery since 2012. Hutch became a partner in the business and the head distiller. Rocker is currently waiting on final permitting from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau and hopes to be in production next month. Spirits continues on Page 5

Former U.S. Sen. Bill Armstrong, a leading voice in conservative politics for decades and president of Colorado Christian University in Lakewood since 2006, died July 5 following a five-year battle with cancer. He was 79. William L. Armstrong served in the state House (1963-64) and state Senate (1965-72), before being elected to the U.S. House (1973-78) and Senate (1979-1990). “Our nation lost a great public servant, whose mark on Colorado and this country embodies the virtues of liberty, faith and family,” U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, a Colorado Republican, said in a statement released online. “His booming voice, piercing gaze and love of fellow patriots will never be forgotten. “So many people in Colorado were brought to conservative ideas and optimism through Senator Armstrong. The United States is a better place because of his grace, humility and boundless spirit.” During his tenure in the U.S. Senate, Armstrong was a member of the finance, budget and banking committees and spent six years as chairman of the Republican Policy Committee. Armstrong, who was born in Fremont, Nebraska, and most recently lived in Cherry Hills Village, is survived by his wife of nearly 54 years, Ellen, two children and eight grandchildren. In February, Armstrong announced he would be retiring as president of Colorado Christian
later this year. “The last 10 years have been an unforgettable experience for Ellen and me,” Armstrong stated in a news release posted on CCU’s website. Gary Armstrong, chairman of the school’s board of trustees, credits Bill Armstrong with leading CCU through a period of “unprecedented growth.” “His impact will be felt for generations,” said Armstrong, who is Armstrong not related to the former senator. “Beyond his achievements, President Armstrong’s true legacy was his focus on Jesus, and his enthusiasm for CCU and all who are a part of it.” Before taking the post at the school, Armstrong was a longtime businessman “who owned and operated more than a dozen private companies,” according to a CCU news release. U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, praised Armstrong for continuing to follow his passions. “When public officials leave office they often disappear and are never heard from again,” Coffman wrote in an emailed statement, “but Senator Armstrong had a passion for fighting for conservative causes that started from the day when he was first elected to office in 1962 to his final days at Colorado Christian University.” Services for Armstrong will be held at Cherry Hills Community Church, 3900 Grace Blvd., Highlands Ranch, with visitation scheduled for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. July 14 and the funeral set for 10:30 a.m. July 15.

Chance to fly again
Six residents of MorningStar Assisted Living Facility in Littleton got the chance to fly in a 1942 Boeing Stearman at Centennial Airport on July 8. The trips were arranged by the Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing seniors and veterans living in long-term care facilities with a dream flight in a vintage plane. The Boeing Stearman was used to train military aviators in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The residents — five men and one woman — ranged in age from 65 to 92 years old and all served in the military.

Two businesses in one: Furniture repurposed and resold Re-Nu and Blue Chair team up at South Broadway location By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sylvia Meeker was with a friend at a nearby restaurant who told her about Re-Nu/Blue Chair. So she decided to check out the Englewood store and found herself amazed. “I think the quality of the items, plus the special touches on refurbished items are very special,” said Meeker, who lives in Littleton. “I also was impressed by the fact so many artists’ works are on display here ... This is really a special place.” She will certainly be back, Meeker said, to buy an item or two. Re-Nu/Blue Chair, at 3473 S. Broadway, held an open house July 9 for customers, residents and visitors to learn about the store’s concept, Blue Chair owner Jim Thomas said. The store is actually a composite of two businesses: Re-Nu bills itself as an upscale, resale non-profit store of retail furniture and decorating items. Blue Chair specializes in refinishing furniture as well as creating custom items. When Blue Chair had to move from its previous location a few doors down the street, Thomas teamed up with Re-Nu. “They have a huge supply of really nice items for sale here,” he said, as he stained some panels. “I repair and refinish furniture for them. I still do my repurposing work and I offer my items for sale in the store ... In everything we do, we try to repurpose as many things as we can and not waste anything doing the job. For example, we recycle pallet wood and we try to be creative with items we find, like making a coffee table out of a door.” The array of new, recycled and repurposed furniture occupies most vacant floor space on the main floor and the balcony. The walls have been transformed into an art gallery with works of about 50 artists on display.

suited to assist a city manager. Relph said he would be able to balance duties as interim city manager with his current role with help from managers within the public works department. An interim won’t necessarily come from within — so-called “circuit riders,” or specialists in interim positions, could be considered as well.
Lara Oliver shows how she created the paintings to turn a piece of used furniture into artwork. Her items are among the artworks and furniture on display at the Re-Nu/Blue Chair store at 3473 S. Broadway. Photo by Tom Munds The walls-turned-gallery is one of the two more important aspects to the location, Thomas said. “This store provides a place where local artists can display their works for people to see and enjoy. Most of the works have price tags attached and are for sale,” he said. “Also, the basement is a studio area where artists can work, and it is also where we will continue to offer a variety of classes ranging from artistic techniques to how to repair furniture.”
Part of that slow growth means that Rocker will at first stay simple, producing a bourbon-style whiskey, a vodka and a rum. “Eventually we will expand our product base,” Hutch said, noting that spirits like rye whiskey and gin are currently going through a resurgence in popularity. Hutch said that some fads in the industry may come and go, but bourbon is likely to always be a safe bet. “Everybody’s always going to come back to it,” he said. “That’s America’s spirit.”
Brinkman said she would be more comfortable going that route. “I think we need to have some more options, some more choices,” she said. Councilmember Doug Clark said he opposes a search process for an interim manager while the city is conducting a search for a permanent manager. The city’s human resources director, Erich Won Savage, is currently working on a request for proposal for the city to send out for firms to recruit candidates. While an interim manager can be appointed for up to a year per the city’s charter, the council hopes to have a new manager in place by early next year.
“
Lara Oliver was one of the artists with items on display during the open house. “I call myself an artistic furniture flipper,” she said with a smile. “I take a piece of furniture and give it new character. I like my work to have shine, some transparent glass, decorative art and a good base coat. Of course, every item is an original and, even if someone asks, I can put the love I put into the original into doing the art a second time.”

one to dismantle the authority and a separate one to repeal the plan areas. “It’s a major move to get rid of urban renewal,” Hopping said. As the council has budget study ses-
sions and hearings coming up, the next study session on LIFT was set for Sept. 27, with the ordinance coming back for a first reading on Oct. 4. The motion to table the ordinance until then passed 6-1, with Hopping opposing.

Crime rises in Colorado, report says Associated Press
Colorado officials say homicides increased by nearly 15 percent statewide last year while rapes increased by almost 11 percent. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation’s annual crime report released July 5 said overall reported crimes rose more than 6 percent in 2015 compared with 2014. The report is based on statistics from 245 law-enforcement agencies statewide. It didn’t speculate on the reasons behind any of the trends. The agency said 172 homicides were reported last year, up from 150 in 2014. It said 72 percent of the victims were males and 77 percent of the offenders were males. A total of 3,275 rapes were reported last year, compared with 2,961 in 2014. Robberies rose nearly 10 percent and motor vehicle thefts rose about 28 percent. Burglaries were up about 1 percent.

Cafe brings new dining options to Littleton Nonprofit picks up tab for those who cannot afford breakfast or lunch By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Heather Greenwood hopes to change people’s perception of what a “community cafe” is. Greenwood and her husband, Troy, opened Gracefull Community Cafe in downtown Littleton this spring, using a business model that allows them to serve gourmet food as well as providing meals for the less fortunate. The restaurant at 5610 S. Curtice St. is operated as a traditional for-profit business, while a nonprofit foundation started by Heather Greenwood is affiliated with it and is used to pay for meals at the restaurant for those who cannot afford it. This positions Gracefull as a kind of a hybrid model in between Englewood’s Cafe 180 or Denver’s SAME Cafe, where patrons set their own prices, and typical restaurants. “I have a nonprofit heart but I have a business background,” said Greenwood, a former accountant and Arapahoe High School teacher. The Greenwoods decided to open the cafe and foundation after spending a year living in Uganda. Greenwood and her chef and director of operations, Laura Grannan, serve a limited menu with daily specials for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is $5 and lunch is $8. Greenwood hopes patrons will pay extra when they can, and said the extra money goes straight to the foundation. Greenwood said about 25 people eat a free or discounted meal per week. “We can’t solve the bigger problems of addiction and homelessness, but we can treat them as humans,” she said. Greenwood and Grannan hope a focus on quality food keeps even people who have other options coming in. “I think we’re trying to break down that barrier that community cafes are soup kitchens,” Grannan said.

Helping families get ‘over the hump’ Douglas County church fights food insecurity with free grocery ‘store’
August 26
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com
September 30 1-888-9-AXS-TIX
Many Douglas County residents don’t realize some of the people closest to them are skipping meals or choosing between paying for medicine, rent or food. Robert Peterson wants them to know that hunger and food insecurity are very real problems, and that he and others are there to help. “The biggest thing is recognizing the need in Douglas County. Most of us in Highlands Ranch don’t realize our neighbors are going hungry,” Peterson said. As pastor of outreach for Valley View Christian Church, Peterson oversees Valley View Cares, a free grocery “store” inside the church that operates every Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Since May 20, the church near the intersection of Santa Fe Drive and Titan Parkway has been inviting people to
take a grocery cart and peruse the store’s shelves, taking what they need to provide nutritious, satisfying meals for their families. The program is open to everyone, not only residents of Douglas County. Clients have come from Littleton, Aurora, Elbert County and other areas. Peterson acknowledges that residents of Douglas County — which has a median household income of about $103,000 — have a high standard of living and most don’t have to worry about hunger. But he also knows they aren’t invulnerable. “Life happens,” he said. “You have no idea what someone is going through… A death in the family, someone’s lost their job… We want to help those families get over the hump. This gives them the margin to pay their rent, pay for medicine.” Statistics on food insecurity back up Peterson’s statement. Numbers from the hunger relief nonprofit Feeding America show that 27,780 people in Douglas County, or 9.3 percent of residents, faced food insecurity in 2014. Douglas County doesn’t have any food banks west of Highlands Ranch, Peterson says, indicating the need for Valley View Groceries continues on Page 9

‘Doers’ aim to keep on doing group has championed over the years include a vaccination project to combat childhood diphtheria in 1932, a nurses’ training program currently in its 60th year and sending $881,000 in relief supplies to New York City after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. The 40 and 8 continues to work as advocates for veterans, designing programs to provide emotional, financial and educational support for veterans and their families, such as hospital visits, scholarships and monetary assistance. Members of the 40 and 8 provide scholarships for family members of prisoners of war and visit elementary schools to teach children about history from the perspective of those who lived it. “I’m proud of our service,” Stenson said. “I’m proud of our color guard, I’m proud of our group here… and I’m proud of the Lawman of the Year and Hero of the Year,” he said, referring to two of The 40 and 8’s annual community awards. Service is a hallmark of the group, but another vital function is the camaraderie the group’s founders envisioned for members. “It’s our close relationship with one another,” said Stenson, 90. “We’re a pretty tight group. We all recognize what the other guy does.” As the members of The 40 and 8 grow older and natural causes force a decline in membership,
Elite group The 40 and 8 keeps the faith for veterans By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com After World War I, 16 members of the American Legion’s leadership decided to start an special branch of the organization to recognize their added level of service on the home front and provide a unique opportunity for camaraderie. The group culled members from the committees and governing bodies that comprised the Legion’s leadership, and in 1920, “La Societe des Quarente Hommes et Huit Chevaux” — the Society of Forty Men and Eight Horses — was born. The name has since been shortened, but not the list of the group’s accomplishments and responsibilities. “We’re the doers,” said Thomas Yagley, Chef de Gare of The 40 and 8. “When someone’s considered, they understand you continue in your current activity, then get ready for more work. There’s always another committee.” Members — some of whom are from the south metro area — are selected by invitation only. Yagley’s title, loosely translated as “chief,” represents one of the unique traits of The 40 and 8, their use of French titles and descriptions.
Tom Yagley, left, and Glen Stenson, right, look at photos from The 40 and 8’s early years at Voiture 97 in Denver on June 29. Yagley serves as Chef de Gare (Chief) and Stenson is the Commissar Entendent (Treasurer) of the local chapter. Photo by Tom Skelley For nearly a century The 40 and 8 has distinguished itself, providing service to the community at large and support to survivors of the United States’ armed conflicts around the globe. But declining membership may be the biggest battle facing the 40 and 8 today. The group meets locally at Voiture 97 on Yale Avenue at I-25. “Voiture” translates to “wagon” or in this case, a railroad car. In its origin, the group was made up of veterans from World War I, many of whom were transported to the front lines in railroad cars bearing the mark 40/8, denoting that the car could carry either 40 soldiers or eight horses. It was a common, uncomfortable memory the men

Cares’ services. “They’re surprised at the amount they can take, they’re surprised they can choose their own stuff,” Peterson said of people who come to Valley View Cares for the first time. “The biggest thing is getting items they know they’ll use rather than just a box of food they may or may not want.” Food for the store’s shelves comes from the Food Bank of the Rockies and Southeast Community Outreach in Parker, and church food drives and donations from local groceries supplement the store’s supply. Church members help clients complete an intake interview, taking into account family size and financial factors such as income, credit card and mortgage payments, and other variables. A separate team within the church devises a financial plan to create a budget and help clients improve their situation while they receive food from Valley View Cares. Most “customers” visit the store twice a month. Responsible for “keeping all of this beautiful” is market manager Gala Compton. She makes the trip to Southeast Community Outreach each week to select and transport the food back to Valley View Cares. Compton says she relishes giving clients more than just food. “We want this to be a pleasant experience,” she said. “People just need to be spoiled. I’d like them to feel a little spoiled, but in a good way — spoiled with love.” Making the experience inviting is important, Peterson said, because he wants clients to come back. More than that, he wants them to spread the word to other families who may need the help. Compton and Peterson want Valley View Cares to expand their services to as many people as possible. More than 20 families currently use the program, but Peterson says they have the resources to help many more. He says the store presently can serve up to 100 families and would be able to increase resources to serve even more. To some it may appear Valley View Cares is helping people who don’t need it as much as people living on the street or in a shelter. The program has no minimum or maximum income for participants, and most of the program’s clients drive themselves to the church, sometimes in expensive vehicles. The interview process and ongoing financial assessments weed out the disingenuous, Peterson says, and he adds that he doesn’t worry about scammers as much as he worries about people who need the help but are too proud to use it. “There are those people who will try to take advantage, but I’d rather err on the side of generosity than on the side of judging people,” he said. “I think (the problem) is the opposite. My heart breaks for the people who are afraid to walk through that door.”
could all relate to, providing a foundation for fraternity. “The magic word is ‘relationships,’” Yagley said. “After that, respect, honesty, integrity all fall into place.” Another defining characteristic of the group is that membership is granted by invitation only, unlike groups like the American Legion with a waiting list of applicants. “We watch what they do, if they’re a leader in the community,” said Glen Stenson, Voiture 97’s Commissar Entendent (treasurer). “One of our problems is that we’re too interested in people who can help us cook,” he adds with a chuckle. Projects and campaigns the
those close relationships are at risk of being lost. The group’s constitution has been amended several times, most recently in 2008, to include any veteran or active duty service member, regardless of membership in the American Legion. The change, members hoped, would ultimately increase membership in The 40 and 8 and infuse the group with some new blood. “All groups are reaching a point of criticality, the Elks, the Masons, everybody,” said Yagley, 65. “I’m one of the young guns.” Membership nationally stands at 25,455 members, a substantial number, but almost 1,300 fewer than it was just last year. After World War II, the Denver Voiture alone boasted more than 400 members. Total membership statewide stands at just 124 today. “One of our big problems is publicity,” Yagley said. “If the American Legion and the Sons of the American Legion can do well, then it’ll help The 40 and 8,” he added with a hint of optimism. “There are 30-yearolds joining the American Legion again. It’s a time of transition.” “There’s pictures where downtown is packed full of American Legion and 40 and 8 members,” Stenson said, pointing to framed black-and-white pictures on the walls of the largely empty room. He turns his gaze and gestures around the hall. “You can see what the years of attrition have done,” he said.

Positive foundation elevates spirit This is the third and final part of a series of columns that I have shared over the past three weeks looking at the power of words, the inspiration of visualization, and today we will complete the cycle as we discuss the motivation and positive energy found in shared feelings. As a quick recap in case you missed the first two columns, we talked about the positive power and influence of maintaining a “word bank” that is filled with motivating and inspiration words. Words that we can use to lift up and encourage other people, especially those closest to us. Replacing any negative words with words like love, kindness, forgiveness, peace, purity, simplicity, gratitude and praise. And last week the topic was the power of visualization. First, a big thank you to everyone in the community who shared their thoughts and even pictures of their own vision boards representing their goals and dreams. We can achieve what our mind’s eye sees. So there is power in placing visual reminders such as images, photos, quotes, sayings, numbers, etc. in a very prominent spot where we can keep an eye on our goals, hopes and dreams and become further inspired to pursue the paths necessary to meet and exceed each one. Today as we close out this series I wanted to focus our thoughts around shared feelings. We talked about shared words and a shared vision board, and now it’s time to talk about how we share our thoughts and feelings with our friends and family, and those we hold most precious in our lives. It is so easy to take for granted that others know how we feel. Surely they must know that we love them, that we are grateful for what they have done for us, and that we appreciate
their generosity. Certainly they must know that we thoroughly enjoy their company and companionship, and respect their faith and compassion. And without a doubt, everyone must know that we are completely aware of how they feel about us. Right? Well, maybe not Michael Norton always, but telling them more often sure could WINNING go a long way to improvWORDS ing and strengthening any relationship. Life comes at us fast and furious sometimes. And as we fight just to keep pace with the rush and crush of the business world, politics and situations going on or brewing in our own families, we sometimes forget to share our feelings at a level that could potentially make a difference in someone’s life at that very moment. Just think about that for a minute, think about a time when you were stressed at work or going through a tough time at home, and then all of a sudden you heard someone say, “I love you,” or “Thank you for all that you do for me.” How did you feel? Probably pretty good. We can verbalize our shared feelings, we can show them through a smile, hug, or other gesture. We can leave little notes or cards around the house or office. And we can send texts, emails, or post messages to people through social media. We can even share our feelings through emoticons or an emoji. And here’s what’s really cool, now that we have our positive word bank filled with loving and kind uplifting words and we have created a mental
image and visions of who and what we want to be, we can now express our shared feelings from a foundation of a positive outlook and attitude. It’s easy to be influenced by something negative. But if we surround ourselves and build our base around positive affirmations, encouraging visualizations, and we can accept and share loving and grateful thoughts and feelings, we can guard our hearts and our minds against the toughest and most negative source and force in our lives. I know it sounds idealistic or even maybe oversimplified. But I ask that you try it for a while. When someone brings up a bad or negative situation or tries to crush your spirit, have your positive words in the pockets of your mind, have the images of who you are and where you are going firmly planted in your heart, and have your spirit filled with feelings that you are willing to share and open to receiving those same feelings in return. Try this and I believe that in a very short amount of time you will begin to see yourself and the world around you in a completely different way. So how about you? I would love to see your list of “go-to” words, pictures or thoughts about your visualized goals and dreams, and learn how you choose to share feelings in a way that can provide others with hope and encouragement. You can email me any and all of your thoughts at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we build a positive foundation of words, images, and feelings, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Early childhood education steers kids toward successful lives Frederick Douglass, the eminent abolitionist, author and social reformer, once said that it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. For me, that Mike Johnston explains why we must expand GUEST young Coloradans’ access to COLUMN early childhood education. It is the most effective way to put kids on a path to success — and avoid expensive solutions later in life. As a former high school teacher and principal, I saw firsthand how a lack of high-quality early education impacted many of my students. I have seen many truant students during my career. It may be easy to label them as lazy or underachievers, but I’ve realized that many of them actually love their coursework and can talk to you about their interests in the class. It’s their lack of literacy skills that doesn’t allow them to fully engage in their education. In fact, by age 3, children in poverty hear 30 million fewer words than welloff children. It’s no wonder that children in need tend to start school developmentally far behind their peers. Reading failure turns curious elementary students into failing middle school students and then high school dropouts. Johnston continues on Page 11

Here’s notation to skip motivation I am skeptical of many things. You may have noticed. The headline said, “Motivational speaker Robbins’ coal walk burns more than 30.” I nearly laughed out loud, and I don’t laugh out loud. Tony Robbins, speaking to nearly 7,000, encouraged his audience to walk across coals as a way of conquering fears. When I want to conquer fears, I have another burrito. There are a number of differing reports about what actually happened. You know how I feel about the ubiquity of cell phones. I chuckled at, “Some people were not concentrating on walking across the coals because they were taking selfies and asking others to take videos of them.” What do people do with all of the photographs that they take of everything under the sun? I was giving a painting demonstration and a woman asked if she could take pictures. I said, “Why?”
She didn’t have an answer. I think she thought that she was supposed to record everything that she saw every day. There was a New Yorker cartoon of a woman who told her husband to look at her phone to see the Craig Marshall Smith thing that they were looking at.

Colorado leaders react to Dallas police slayings Staff report Colorado law enforcement agencies and elected officials offered their support for Dallas police and called for unity the morning after five officers were killed and seven others were wounded during a protest in the nation’s ninth-largest city. As of July 11, Dallas police believe the shootings were carried out by a gunman — later killed by police —who shot the officers the night of July 7 during a protest over police shootings of black men earlier in the week in Minnesota and Louisiana. Four of the slain officers were with the Dallas Police Department and

But students who attend high-quality early learning programs, like pre-K, enter kindergarten ready to learn. And that will have positive implications for the rest of their lives. Research has shown that the type of environment and the quality of interaction to which children are exposed in the first five years of life greatly influence the outcomes of their adult lives. That’s because by age 5, a child’s brain is almost completely developed — yet two out of five American kids are not enrolled in preschool. Many never catch up. And the consequences are significant and long-lasting. If we invest today in setting a strong intellectual, cognitive and emotional foundation for children before they reach age 5, we can significantly raise the odds they will stay in and perform well in school, avoid teenage pregnancy, keep away from drug-related and violent crimes and, more generally, contribute to making our communities more livable and prosperous. My three children are fortunate because we were able to enroll them in high-quality early learning programs. But many kids here in Colorado are not so lucky — and it varies from district to district. In Denver, where voters elected to tax themselves to provide preschool, all families with 4-year-olds choose from more than 250 high-quality programs, and tuition assistance is available. But in other counties, options are far more limited. Funding is a large hurdle in this debate, but investing in early childhood

Madoff this morning.” There’s a motivational industry, and there are people who need a good goose now and then. The two often meet, sometimes in remote locations, like Jonestown and rural Waco. Have you heard about James Arthur Ray and his sweat lodges? Ray is a motivational speaker. He was convicted of felony negligent homicide. Everyone’s favorite motivational speaker is Matt Foley. Foley lives in a van down by the river. Foley was one of Chris Farley’s fictional characters. I am my own motivational speaker, and I owe it to my father. My father got up every day of his life and went to work. When we moved to southern California, he drove from Fullerton to Figueroa Street in Los Angeles. On a good day, it took an hour both ways. When we lived in Ohio, it was more of the same. He left for Middletown before I got up to go to school. It took him about 45 minutes both ways. If I didn’t have his example, who knows?
one was with Dallas Area Rapid Transit. Here are some of the statements by Colorado and local leaders: “The attack in Dallas is tragic and horrifying. My heart goes out to the families of the fallen officers, those who were injured and the entire Dallas community. Just as individuals and families should feel safe in their communities and have the freedom to exercise the right to free speech, law enforcement officials should not fear for their lives as they serve and protect our communities. “It is more important than ever that we work to overcome the divisiveness and violence in this country. We must
education results in greater success in K-12, better health outcomes and more resilient communities. And the students aren’t the only ones who will benefit. This makes economic sense. A comprehensive, national early childhood education program would add $2 trillion to the annual GDP within a generation, according to the Brookings Institution. And according to James Heckman, an American economist and Nobel laureate, for every dollar we invest in high-quality early learning, we get $7 back in avoiding costly interventions. This would positively impact our state’s bottom line. For these reasons, I have been fighting to provide robust funding for early learning programs in Colorado, and across the nation. We must find a way to give more kids the chance to a strong start in life. It all starts with a high-quality early childhood education. This is a fight that we must undertake throughout Colorado. That’s why I was so honored to speak recently in Washington, D.C., at the Advocacy Summit, hosted by Save the Children Action Network (SCAN), where advocates from around the country gathered to learn how to be champions for kids. SCAN is a bipartisan organization that is doing great work around the country on early childhood education. Working with organizations like this and with local providers and officials, we can increase access to early learning programs in every state. The event’s attendees met with nearly 100 congressional offices to urge them to invest in key kids programs by asking them to sponsor Social Impact Partnership Act, which authorizes the use of a public-private partnership program called Pay for Success. This would help fund early learning programs around the country.
Maybe I would have attended a seminar or a retreat. We’re all different. Some of us need big banquets of guidance, exhortation and, well, preaching. I was a good student. I listened and I did my homework. Those days are over. Keep Knute Rockne away from me. I would have to be strapped down and forced to listen to someone who thought he or she had all of the answers, and charged big dollars for it.

OBITUARIES KREYE
George Miljutin Kreye Sep. 7, 1935 - June 28, 2016
George Miljutin Kreye, M.D., passed away peacefully at his home in Littleton, Colorado on Tuesday, June 28th, 2016. He was 80 years old. George was born in New Haven, CT, on September 7, 1935. He was the oldest of four children of Prof. George W. Kreye and Ina Prislin Kreye and spent his early years in Lawrence Kansas. George was a competitive swimmer and played the cello. He graduated from the University of Kansas Medical School and was president of his fraternity, Delta Chi, as well as an outstanding member of the swim team. George met Maria Elisabeth Winiger during his studies in Zurich, Switzerland and married her on August 14, 1961. During his service as a captain in the U.S. Army he and Maria lived with their two children, Elizabeth Anne and George Douglas, in Switzerland, Germany and on several bases in the U.S. Dr. Kreye began his first medical practice in Littleton, Colorado in 1968. He became a prominent member of the American Dermatological Association as well as President of the Colorado Dermatological Society. Dr. Kreye was an early proponent of daily sunscreen use and was frequently interviewed on local television news stations. George continued his passion for swimming on the Masters Swim BURKHART
Team, and enjoyed hiking, skiing, scuba-diving and sailing. He was an avid symphony and theater patron, a some-time square dancer with a fondness for pipes, elephants, fast cars, the Denver Broncos, and Charlie his beloved cat and “best friend”. He had many friends in the medical community as well as “The Group”, “The Arapahoe Swim Group” and “The Men’s Group‘Mann’s Men.’” The love of his friends, family and community were an overwhelming support following his spinal cord injury in 1989. George continued to practice dermatology for many years as well as volunteering at Craig Hospital and the Denver Art Museum. When George’s wife, Maria, passed away from scleroderma in 1993, he planned and raised money for “Maria’s Rest” on the banks of the Platte River in Littleton. In 2006 George met Lois Parish through her pastor’s wife, Elizabeth Golter, and happily married on January 20th, 2007. George and Lois enjoyed their new life together with many grandchildren and family
reunions, many on the 4th of July. With much teasing and laughter, pictures were shared, stories were told, sporadic outbursts of singing and heated contests were had. George’s motto was always “No pain, no gain.” His smiles were famous, a grin that could light up a room, and a hug that made you feel safe and loved. He was a true gentleman. George is survived by his wife, Lois Kreye; his children, Elizabeth Kreye Reed (Alan Reed) of Easton, CT and George Kreye (Yvonne Kreye) of Lone Tree; his grandchildren Samuel, Aerin and William Reed and George and Jonathan Kreye; Lois’ daughters, Angela Bode (Christian Bode), Gail Raether (Pete Raether) and Allison Parish; grandchildren Skylar, Ella, Seth, Mark and Kaia Bode, Dillon Briscoe, Morgan, Rachael, and Camden Raether and a great-grandson, Bastion Briscoe. A celebration of George’s life will be held with a memorial service on Sunday, July 10, 2016 at 2:00 pm at Ascension Lutheran Church, 1701 W. Caley Ave., Littleton, CO. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in remembrance of George through Craig Hospital, Denver, CO and Ascension Lutheran Church.

ay Pathak takes the crease for batting practice at Cornerstone Park. He taps the ground with his bat to gain his rhythm and stares down the pitch. Pathak leans forward, drops to one knee and smacks the bouncing ball away with an elegant strike. His skills are polished, the result of years of practice. His team, the Littleton Cricket Club, play on a synthetic pitch — a concrete rectangle covered in artificial turf. In the Denver metro area, this surface on South Windermere Street on the Littleton-Englewood border is about as close as it gets to a proper wicket. For many many expatriates from cricket-playing nations living in the Denver area, the sport connects them to their families and traditions while fostering a sense of community in their new home. Pathak, 21, was born in India and grew up in New Zealand before moving to the United States with his family at the age of 15. He spent his childhood playing on well-maintained grounds. A traditional wicket — the hard 22-yard batting and running surface in the middle of a cricket field with stumps on either end — is made of manicured grass that has been trimmed and compacted so that it is hard, allowing the ball to bounce.
Growing the game
Haram Patel, 26, began playing with the Littleton Cricket Club when he was 13 years old. His father played cricket in Mumbai, India. “In India, I used to get private lessons,” said Pathak, who moved to New Zealand at the age of 6. “I learned how to bat and bowl. The basics of the game.” In New Zealand, he began playing competitively for the local club and spent hours practicing his batting in nets he set up in his backyard. “My dad was very enthusiastic about cricket. He used to give me three or four hours of practice every day to try and help me,” Pathak said. He now lives and works in Denver and is a hopeful for the U.S. national team. “I have toured Sri Lanka. I’ve toured India with the U.S. team. So, I’m working my way up trying to get into the national team again,” Pathak said. “It’s pretty special.” Cricket continues on Page 13

In addition to playing the game themselves, cricketers in the Denver metro area are also focused on growing the game locally. In the last year, representatives from the Colorado Cricket League have visited Pioneer Elementary and Cimarron Middle schools in Parker as well as schools and youth programs in the Cherry Creek School District and in Fort Collins to show the sport to local kids. “We have been trying to reach out to schools to introduce cricket,” said CCL president Suresh Talatoti. “We are also hoping to make it happen quickly with the International Cricket Council (cricket’s governing body) coming to Colorado Springs soon and with the idea of (expanding) youth cricket development with their help.” The ICC Americas office had been located in Toronto, but officials announced in April that they would be moving to Colorado Springs. There are plans to build an international-level cricket facility either there or in Denver. Talatoti said most of the kids had not been exposed to the sport before. “It’s always hard to introduce a new thing to anyone or in any country — particularly in the USA where everything is well established with other sports,” he said. Haram Patel, 26, grew up playing cricket in the Denver area and said he has seen the sport grow in the area over the last decade with added exposure from the internet and more expats moving to the area. However, he said the goal is to get more American kids to pick up the sport at a young age. Patel compared cricket to baseball and said many of the same skills would translate for kids who are interested in trying something new. “In school you learn kickball, you learn pickleball, you learn everything, why not cricket?” said Patel. “It’s the second most watched and followed sport in the world (behind soccer). I think that stat in and of itself should be a reason why you should teach kids how to play.”

CRICKET TERMS Batsman: Two players at a time bat for a team at each end of the wicket. When a batter is dismissed — or makes an “out,” as would be the case in baseball — the next player in the batting lineup takes their place. Bowler: The person who delivers the ball — similar to a pitcher in baseball — for the batter to hit. Bails: The two small pieces of wood that lie on top of the stumps. Ball: The round object that the batsman attempts to strike.

is doing, what the batsman is doing, then you will find it very interesting.” While a player may walk up to bat with plans on making runs all day, he also may be bowled out on his very first ball. “If you’re an opening batsman and you get out on the first ball of the day, you’re sitting there for the rest of the (game) feeling like you didn’t do you job for the team,” Patel said. “It can get to you if you get out on the first ball because you don’t have a redemption until the next match.”
Continued from Page 12
Haram Patel, 26, grew up in the Denver metro area and has been playing competitively with the Littleton Cricket Club since he was 13. Patel split his time between high school baseball and cricket before eventually moving to England to play cricket for Durham University, where he earned his undergraduate degree. “My parents are both from India. My dad is from Mumbai. My dad actually played at a high level in Mumbai,” Patel said. “So it’s in my blood.” Bodhayan Chakraborty moved to Denver from India in 2009. He spent a year without the sport before a friend told him about cricket in Colorado. He is now the captain of the Little Cricket Club, playing with teammates Pathak and Patel. “In our part of the world — India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka—we grew up playing cricket. From our childhood we start playing and it is just like football over here,” Chakraborty said. “We just love playing cricket.” Cricket in Colorado The Littleton Cricket club draws players from around the metro area and is one of eight top-division teams in the Colorado Cricket League, which was founded in 1985. Players says members join particular clubs more because of their connection with the group than location, with some driving as far as from Denver to Colorado Springs to play for a team. The CCL has players with roots in Asia, the Middle East, Australia
Cricket balls are wrapped in leather and stitched. and the Caribbean. Suresh Talatoti, originally from India, is the president of the CCL and a member of the Boulder Cricket Club. He said through cricket, players are able to make a community of their clubs. “We travel together to go and play games in the Denver metro area from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs (and) Albuquerque, where we have couple of clubs that are part of CCL, ” Talatoti said. Teams in the CCL play among themselves but also travel out of state to compete regionally and nationally. Players from Colorado also participate on state and regional teams that compete nationally. The gentleman’s game Cricket is a bat-and-ball game with its origins in 16th-century England. It was popularized during the Victorian age and became the game of the British Empire. It was spread to all corners of the globe with international teams in Africa, Australia, the Ca-
ribbean and the Indian subcontinent, where more than a billion people treat the sport as religion. “Cricket is called a gentleman’s game, and in my opinion, no other sport compares in terms of the number of skills displayed and the blend of quality, entertainment, sudden thrill and sustained intellectual interest,” Talatoti said Cricket can be confusing. There are 11 players per side, scores run into the hundreds and games can last from a couple hours to several days. Chakraborty said once you understand the game, you will fall in love with it. Long stretches of monotony can be punctuated by moments of exhilaration as the drama and tension builds over time. “I didn’t know about American football. I thought ‘this is just pushing and pulling and that kind of game.’ I didn’t know the rules. Once I knew the rules, I found it very interesting. Cricket is the same,” he said. “If you know the rules, if you know what the bowler
A family affair On a recent Wednesday, the Littleton Cricket Club was preparing for a rivalry game with the local Colorado Cross Bats Cricket Club, which practices at a new ground in Green Valley Ranch near Denver International Airport. “Our families come. Our friends come. It’s obviously not crowded like the football games, but we have found some supporters here who come and cheer us on,” Chakraborty said. The cricket community is building. It’s a place to connect with family, friends and places far away from Colorado. While its advocates try to convert more locals to the sport, there is a group of Coloradans born with roots in the sport. “I’m definitely going to have the option of cricket there for my kids. I’m sure a lot of these guys, once they have children, will think the same,” Patel said. “The kids are always going to take up something that is going to be watched and followed within the house, so if you’re in an American house, baseball, basketball, football are what is watched. Cricket is what is watched in our houses.”
Boundary: The perimeter of a cricket field. If a batsman hits the ball to, but not over, the boundary it counts for four points. If the ball goes over the boundary, it counts for six. Century: When a batsman scores 100 runs in a match. Crease: One of several lines on the pitch near the stumps where the batter stands. Dismissal: To get one of the batsmen out. A batsman is out if he allows the ball to hit the stumps and knock off the bail, is hit with the ball or if one of the fielders catches the ball. He also can be put out if a fielder knocks the bail off a stump before the batter safely reaches the opposite end of the wicket. Duck: A score of 0 for a batsman. Innings: One player or one team’s turn to bat or bowl. Over: The delivery of six consecutive legal balls by one bowler. Games typically are measured in terms of the number of overs, often of 20, 40 or 50. Wicket: The 22 yards between the stumps. Can also be used when a batter is dismissed. Example: The batter has lost his wicket. Wicket-keeper: The player on the fielding side who stands immediately behind the batting end wicket whose job it is to catch balls that are missed or tipped by the batsman — similar to a catcher in baseball. The wicket-keeper is the only player in the fielding side allowed to wear gloves and leg guards. Stumps: A set of stumps sits on each end of the wicket. The act of hitting the stumps results in the dismissal of the batsman. Source: International Cricket Council

Englewood historic group discusses preservation plan By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Matthew Crabtree, president of the Englewood Historic Preservation Society, opened a June 30 public meeting in the city’s Community Room by noting that Englewood’s comprehensive plan is under review and has no provision for historic designation. The society believes consideration of historic buildings should balance out planning for new development. There are 285 businesses on Broadway and historic structures have been replaced with buildings of lesser quality, he added. One way to approach historic preservation for a city is to become a Certified Local Government (CLG). Mark Rodman from History Colorado was invited to explain how a CLG works. Society member and history expert Diane Wray Tomasso spoke about “getting the subject on the table in Englewood,” mentioning the Odd Fellows Hall as a place to start. She said there could be an effort to identify the inventory “in our 6.63-square-mile, aging, landlocked city.” Colorado has 54 CLGs, Rodman said to begin. It is provided for in the 1966 National Preservation Act, now 50 years old, and would require a qualified ordinance,
criteria for design and design review and appointment of a historic preservation commission, containing at least five members with mixed skills. Then, there is a need to maintain a system for survey and inventory of historic properties within a jurisdiction. To be designated for the National Register of Historic Places, as well as state and local designation, the commission looks at a building with certain qualifications: • Is it at least 50 years old? • Is it associated with a specific person (such as the Thomas Skerritt house, built by the founder of Englewood)? • Is it associated with an important event? • Is it a specific design (such as Art Deco)? • Are there archaeological resources? • Does it have geographical significance? • Does it still have integrity, or has excessive remodeling deleted that quality? “Look for citizens who will list their own properties,” Rodman said, including private homes. The commission will make decisions consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s standards. (Under the idea being discussed, the city would define the commission’s power, so it theoretically could not require an owner to do something he/she didn’t want to do.) In a district, such as Englewood’s Arapahoe Acres, which has national designation, but not local, the city could define what percentage of properties must go along for formation. (In Denver, the requirement is 75
Sculptures add to fun at Hudson Gardens Kids can take part with Scavenger Hunt Map By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sixteen sculptures crafted from iron and recycled steel were installed in June at Hudson Gardens and Event Center in Littleton by sculptor Maureen Hearty, with help from family and friends. They are temporary visitors that are nicely set off by the leafy green growth around them — which will change in size, shape and color as the summer progresses. Hudson Gardens celebrates its 20th anniversary this summer. “I like to think that these sculptures can reconnect viewers with their own earthly roots,” Hearty said. Visitors are invited to stop to visit the gardens and go for a walk to locate each piece. If there are children along, pick up a Scavenger Hunt Map at the entry so they can mark each find on it. We started by turning right as we left the shop/ entrance and found the first one, “Climb,” west of the rose beds. “Transportation Series” includes a tinker’s cart, a wind wagon with sails and a flying machine at the
trail connection. The bright bluegreen “Water Drop” is a favorite with visiting children, who can climb inside it and peek out, or open tiny doors to find tiny birds peering out at them. Hudson Gardens’ Melanie Feddersen noted that the sign keeps getting destroyed because there’s so much activity around the piece. As we headed along the wetlands trail, Feddersen noted that the favorite “Tar Baby” pony was missing because it’s being refinished by sculptor Steve LeBlanc, who created it as a memorial to the late Helen Koernig. It should return soon. The “Egg of a Gargantuan Butterfly” floats above the grasses, and as one approaches the Songbird Garden, one meets the “Ambitious Dung Beetle,” red and silver “Larvae,” a mushroom — and an area of restorative burn, which is deliberate to control unwanted growth. In the wetlands, one can spot a pair of beautiful wood ducks and four babies swimming — the pair have returned for a fourth year. At the top of the road down through the Rock Garden, one finds “Herd,” three triangular critters grazing contentedly. Three more installations in a “Life Cycle Series” are mounted inside the shop at the entrance: “Sea Anemone,” “Beetle” and “Salamander” — look for them
percent, which is commonly used elsewhere.) Rodman, questioned about the effect on property values, said generally they stay the same or increase. Regarding costs, he said grants from the federal government are passed along through a CLG community and in Colorado, there are state matching grants. (To pay for a professional survey, for example.) This year, 53 percent of grant requests were eligible. The preservation commission should create a historic preservation plan, under the idea discussed. Commission and staff training, such as grants to attend the annual Colorado Preservation Inc. conference in February and state training, would be available. There is a new state tax credit that allows 20 percent on repair of designated, listed buildings, toward a new roof for example, and understanding and explanation of tax implications would be a responsibility of the commission. Laws differ for residential and commercial properties, which must be locally or state landmarked. (An update on Englewood’s “Flying Saucer Bank”: it has received state landmark status and the application is in Washington awaiting national landmark status, according to Tomasso, who has been guiding its journey.)

Hearty, an active, nature-conscious sculptor who lives in Joes, on Colorado’s eastern plains, also has work in the annual Douglas County Art Encounters collection: “Touching Sound” at James H. Larue Library in Highlands Ranch invites visitors to make music by touching it. She also has permanent pieces in several area towns. She produces “Voices of the Prairie” online commentary by citizens. One finds online references about her, listed as sculptress, gardener, musician, community activist. Her sometimes whimsical sculptures, composed of bits of iron and steel, speak of a very active mind at work. Flowers are at a peak and birds flit through the trees — it’s time to enjoy a walk in the garden!

HOOTENANNY A REAL HUMDINGER
Temperatures neared 100 degrees, but thousands of people still attended Breckenridge Brewery’s 26th annual Hootenanny celebration on July 9, the second one held at its Littleton location. Photos by Kyle Harding
Staff report Breckenridge Brewery celebrated its 26th anniversary on July 9 with its Hootenanny, drawing more than 4,000 people to its Littleton location. Breckenridge marketing director Todd Thibault said the brewery calls it the “Hootenanny” to set it apart from the many other breweries that celebrate anniversaries. “To me, ‘anniversary’ sounds like I’m going to my grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary,” he said. The Hootenanny draws thousands from around the Front Range to celebrate with beer, food and music. Local favorite Big Head Todd and the Monsters, made up of Columbine High School graduates, headlined this year. Other bands included soul stars Robert Randolph and the Family Band and bluegrass ensemble Larry and Jenny Keel, joined by members of Leftover Salmon.

Robert Randolph and the Family Band played on the mainstage.
Activities at Breckenridge Brewery’s 26th annual Hootenanny included trying out skateboards from Never Summer Industries.

Love of drag racing is family affair Junior Kaiser started tradition more than a half-century ago By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com
T
roy Kaiser smiled and said the love of drag racing must be inherited, since just about every member of his family is involved in the sport. The Littleton man talked about the Kaiser family’s love of drag racing as he prepared his car to compete in the July 2 Jet Car Nationals at Bandimere Speedway. “I guess the family involvement in the sport began with Junior Kaiser, who is my dad,” he said. “He raced, his brother raced and I got into it too. The family tradition also has been passed to both my sons, who are driving junior dragsters.” Junior Kaiser said he started drag racing in 1959 at Continental Divide Raceway. “I raced pretty regularly and the whole family came to the track with me so we could spend time together,” he said. Junior Kaiser raced in the top classification of the sport, top fuel dragsters. Unlike most drivers in that classification, he didn’t have major sponsors and paid the high costs of racing with help from family and friends. An example of the expenses include the fact a set of rear tires for a top fuel dragster cost more than $600 and just the base engine for the car is $25,000. The super-
Littleton resident Troy Kaiser, left, and his dad, Junior, check to make sure everything is ready to go as they prepare for a timing run at the July 2 Jet Car National Drag Races at Bandimere Speedway. Drag racing is a Kaiser family affair. Troy is driving; his dad has been racing for almost 60 years; and both Troy’s sons are competing in junior dragster racing. Photo by Tom Munds charger costs another $15,000. “My help came from friends and supporters,” the Lakewood resident said. “A friend would buy me a barrel of fuel for a race and another might buy me tires. That is how we kept going for almost 40 years.” He said his son Troy has been
around drag racing since he was a toddler. He said as Troy got older he became the crew chief for his dad’s top fuel dragster. Troy said being the crew chief was an easy transition since he had been turning wrenches for many years working in his dad’s shop, Hi Pro Engines in Denver.
He continues turning wrenches because when Junior retired from the shop, Troy bought the business. “Dad stopped racing in top fuel in ’95 or ’96,” Troy said. “We took a year off as my Uncle Tom helped us change Dad’s car over to a super comp dragster so we
could just come to the track and have some fun. I got into driving a little later than many in the sport, as I got my license in 1997 when I was 29. When they brought the fast 16 class to Bandimere in 1998 we felt it was something we wanted to do. So we beefed up the engine, put a supercharger on it and started competing in the class.” Drag racing also played a role in Troy’s personal life. He met his wife Rachelle and they started dating at a drag race in 1991, and a year later they planned their wedding at the same drag race where they met. He drove for Randy Meyer out of Spring Hill, Kansas, in 2004. He competed in several divisional races and a couple of national events in an A-fuel car. “I loved it and would like to have continued, but while it was fun it is expensive and eats up a lot of time, so we just decided to do our drag racing in at Bandimere,” he said. “Of course, another factor in that decision was the fact my boys were growing and they wanted to race.” He said the boys sort of took over all his spare time as both 13-year-old Landon and 11-yearold Branson are involved in a football, basketball and drag racing. The boys take priority so, until they get grown and move on, he said his focus is his sons, but he will continue to make trips to Bandimere when possible just to have fun competing in drag racing.

Premier drag-racing event returns Top drivers coming for three days at Mile High Nationals By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Bandimere Speedway lives up to its Thunder Mountain nickname when the Mile High Nationals drag-racing event rolls into the Golden facility July 22-24. For three days, the air will be filled with the sounds of drag racing. The sounds range from the growl of the engines powering street-legal cars to the ear-splitting roar of the 10,000-horsepower top fuel dragsters and funny cars. This marks the 37th year for the Mile High Nationals, the biggest days of the year for avid
drag-racing fans. “We come to the Mile Highs every year,” Centennial resident Tracy Powers said. “My parents came to the races every year and we have continued the tradition. I did compete in the high school drag races, but I think it would be a real thrill to get to go as fast as some of these cars go.” Racing teams begin arriving at Bandimere Speedway early in the week of the event. The huge tractor-trailer rigs, usually emblazoned with team logos of the sponsors and artwork depicting the cars, are trademarks of the National Hot Rod Association’s professional classes, top fuel dragster, top fuel funny car, pro stock and pro stock motorcycle. However, there will also a huge number of the local and regional racers who arrive with smaller outfits. So, by the time
competition begins July 22, the pit areas will be packed with hundreds of rigs and cars. The Mile High Nationals are the 14th stop on the NHRA racing schedule and, like all national events, a major attraction for the fans is the fact that most of the top teams and drivers will be on hand for the event. A special fan attraction at national drag racing events is the pit pass that comes with tickets, which allows fans to watch mechanics prepare the cars for action and even get a chance to talk and get autographs from their favorite drivers. It equates to allowing football fans access to a pro football team’s locker room. While pro drivers from around the country will be at the Mile High Nationals, there will

Former Englewood High athlete heads into title bout Soderstron to do battle for SCL pro MMA heavyweight title By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Reigning Sparta Combat League Amateur Heavyweight Champion Heath Soderstrom takes the next step in his mixed martial arts career July 16 as he turns pro and battles Justin Colburn for the SCL Heavyweight Championship. “I have been in MMA for two years as an amateur,” the 2001 Englewood High School graduate said. “I won three amateur heavyweight title bouts. Now, I make my pro debut as one of the top two contenders for the vacant heavyweight title.” He said the step up to the pro ranks brings major changes in the bout rules. For example, amateur bouts are three rounds of three minutes each, while in pro bouts the three rounds are each five minutes long. Also there are some strikes with knees and elbows allowed in the pro ranks that are not permitted in amateur bouts. “This will be the toughest fight of my career against the toughest opponent I have faced,” he said “He has more pro experience, as this will be his third pro fight while this is my first pro bout. But I am focused physically and mentally so I ready to go into the ring looking for a win.” The Soderstom-Colburn bout is one of about 15 bouts on the July 16 caged fight card. The SCL 50 event will be held at the Douglas County Events Center. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the bell will ring for the first fight at 7 p.m. Tickets prices range from $30 to $100 and are available online at Spartacombatleague.com. Soderstrom played football and wrestled at Englewood High School and at Adams State College. He was an AllAmerican in wrestling and finished fourth in the collegiate wrestling nationals in his senior year.
The Parker resident said after college, he was an assistant coach at EHS but didn’t do much else. “I got really fat, decided I didn’t like how I looked and made some major changes in how I was living,” he said. “I started eating right and working out. Almost three years ago my brother Kyle decided to compete in an MMA amateur bout. I trained with him. He did OK and it was his only bout but it turned out to be the start of my MMA career, as I decided if he could do it, I could do it.” He said he accepted the invitation to Centennial’s Child’s Play Fight and Fitness gym to train and become part of the team. “It was a big decision that changed a lot in my life,” the 34-year-old said. “I still have a job to pay the bills but my major focus is working out to get physically and mentally ready for the pro title fight.” Soderstrom said he works out two to three hours a day, five days a week. “We vary our workouts,” he said. “We lift weights and do a lot of endurance workouts on the mat and on our feet. We test to see how many times we can go 100 percent for five minutes. We also do a lot of running and other workouts to build the endurance to go the full bout which is three rounds of five minutes each.” The 270-pounder said he feels all his wrestling experience prepared him to fight in mixed martial arts. He said he has experience on take-downs and mat work, plus the quickness on his feet he developed as a wrestler is a plus as he looks to land punches and kicks. “I prepare for fights in a very specific way,” he said. “I spend time studying my opponent, studying films of my fights while I focus on training and conditioning. I spend as much time as possible thinking and focusing on the upcoming bout.” He agrees physical conditioning and preparation are very important, but he said mental preparation and readi-

Soderstrom and Colburn will meet July 16 at the Douglas County Event Center in the battle for the SCL Heavyweight Championship. Photos by Tom Munds ness are keys to doing well in a bout. “Every move and blow in a bout starts with the mental aspect of the sport,” Soderstrom said. “You must feel good about your body, your bout plan and be mentally focused not on the move you are making but also on what is the best next move.” He said MMA has already taken him places he has never been before and he plans to see what the future brings. “Being an MMA fighter isn’t a lifelong career,” he said. “Right now, I feel I am at my prime like most MMA fighters, so I want to win the title and see where that takes me. It could lead to a few good years in the sport but I just will fight to the best of my ability and see how far I can go. I am confident in my skills and abilities but unexpected things like injuries can happen. So, I give it my best effort and just see what the future brings.”
it helps the boys learn life lessons about winning, losing and good sportsmanship.” He said Landon is an eighth-grader at Goddard and a good athlete who plans to attend Heritage High School. “I told him to pursue what is right in his heart,” Troy said. “Of course, the rule is academics come first, and if the grades aren’t good there will be no sports, and that includes drag racing.”
Heath Soderstrom, right, spars with a fellow Mixed Martial Arts competitor during a July 10 training session. Coach Vern Earwood, center, directs the training to help Soderstrom be ready for his bid to win the professional heavyweight title on July 16 at the Douglas County
Landon said he loves all sports, and while drag racing is No. 1, football is like a No. 1A in his list of favorites. “Drag racing is No. 1 because it is impossible to describe how much fun it is to be part of the sport, to get behind the wheel and go fast,” he said. “It is also special because I am able to be with my family as we all take part and share in the love of drag racing.”

Diversity of sports offers advantages It’s summer, and high school sports are in a timeout. So it’s a good time for a debate, discussion, examination, argument or whatever you want to call it. The internet is filled these days with the pros and cons of sport specialization, where athletes pick one sport and spend almost all year participating in a Jim Benton single sport. Multi-sport athletes are OVERTIME starting to dwindle even before athletes get into high school. Many studies and people have surfaced who oppose sport specialization. Houston’s defensive end J.J. Watt, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, Cubs manager Joe Maddon and former college and professional football coach Steve Spurrier are among the people who have recently expressed their opinions that it’s good for young athletes to play several sports. I’m an advocate of diversity. Youngsters and high school athletes participating in more than one sport use different muscles, which can reduce the injury rate. Leadership and teamwork skills are enhanced and the ability to adjust to different situations is heightened by playing a different sport. However, there are advantages to specialization. Improved skills, elite training, practice facility availability, better coaching and competition are some of the benefits of focusing on one sport. Clubs and parents emphasis the exposure to get possible college athletic scholarships as another advantage of playing on a club team and concentrating on one sport. Still, some of these scholarships only cover part of the expense of attending college. I wonder, however, if the money spent on club fees and travel, especially for an athlete who might be a fringe player on an elite team, might be better saved and used to help pay for college. Some of the risks on specialization include overuse injuries, psychological effects of too much pressure and burnout. Personally, I’ve seen at least two burnouts where good athletes gave up sports and never played in high school. Family vacations and even summer jobs that could be a learning tool for later in life are often missed. According to the Washington Post, 224 of the 226 picks in the 2016 National Football League draft
played more than one sport. Girls gymnastics is a sport where athletes usually start young, but in the past two years I’ve talked to three high school divers who abandoned gymnastics because they were tired of being hurt. So let the debate continue. What’s in a name? It is now official. As previously reported by Colorado Community Media, the designations of the new, six-team 5A football conferences for the 2016 and 2017 seasons will be named after a few of Colorado’s mountain peaks. Cherry Creek and Horizon will be among the six teams in the Mount Elbert League. Arapahoe is in the Mount Massive conference. Valor Christian along with Lakewood, Legend and Highlands Ranch will be in the Mount Lincoln League. The Mount Wilson Conference will have local teams Ralston Valley, Castle View and Arvada West. Pomona, Chaparral, Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon will compete in the Mount Evans League. Legacy, Westminster and Douglas County will be among the teams in the Mount Antero group while ThunderRidge, Mountain Range and Northglenn will play in the Mount Cameron Conference. Monikers for the 4A leagues include the Plains League in which Golden and Heritage will compete. Standley Lake, Thornton and Wheat Ridge will be in the Mountain Conference. Littleton will be in the Pikes Peak League and Ponderosa in the Foothills loop. In Class 3A, Alameda, Green Mountain and Lutheran will be in the West Metro League while Holy Family will compete in the Tri-Valley circuit. Elizabeth, Englewood and Sheridan will be in the Class 2A Colorado League while Arvada, D’Evelyn and Faith Christian will play in the Flatirons alignment. We’ll wait until at least September to have a quiz on these conference names.

also be drivers who live in the local area or used to live in the local area in the competition. In the pro classes, former Littleton resident Tommy Johnson Jr. will be at the wheel of the Make A Wish Funny Car, and top fuel dragster driver Tony Schumacher, who began his racing career at Bandimere Speedway, will be on hand for the races. A small army of local drivers plans to compete in the sportsman class at the Mile High Nationals. Arvada resident Vicky Johnson captured the top dragster championship at last year’s Mile High Nationals and plans to be on hand to defend her title, and Bradley Johnson, a Lakewood resident, was last year’s Division 5 champion and is expected to be in the Mile High Nationals super gas competition. Littleton resident Troy Kaiser also is expected to be behind the wheel of his dragster for the Mile High Nationals. Qualifying competition for sportsman classes begin at 11 a.m. July 22, with the top fuel dragsters and funny cars making their runs starting at 5:30 p.m. The schedule is about the same for July 23, with the elimination races scheduled to start at 11 a.m. July 24. Drag racing is all about harnessing horsepower and torque to produce as much speed as quickly as possible from a standing start to the finish line a quarter-mile away. The top fuel dragsters are at the top of the list of achieving those goals. The powerful 10,000-horsepower engine is behind the driver in the long, low-slung dragster. The engine idles at about 2,100 revolutions per minute and gulps fuel at about 1.2 gallons per second to generate the power needed to accelerate the car from the starting line to 100 mph in about one second and complete the quarter-mile run in four seconds or less. The car can be traveling more than 320 mph as it crosses the finish line. For information on tickets or the Mile High Nationals schedule, call Bandimere Speedway at 303-697-6001 or visit the website at www.bandimere.com.
Ex-Legend coach headed to Eaglecrest Kari Hamilton, who was the girls soccer coach at Legend for two seasons (2014 and 2015), has accepted the position as the head coach of the Eaglecrest girls soccer program, according to Raptors athletic director Vince Orlando. Hamilton was also a former assistant at Chaparral. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com or at 303-566-4083.
