“Can I leave now?” asked a very excited Tristan Rodrigues, 9, after patiently answering questions about how new hearing aids had changed his life. Then off he flew on his brandnew bike, donated by the same organization that helped him and his brother, 11-year-old Daniel, hold on to the gift of hearing. “He’d never heard the birds before,” said their mom, Debra. “The help is amazing.” The Rodrigues family has health insurance, but they found out the hard way it often doesn’t cover medical hardware like hearing aids and mobility products. When both boys failed hearing
tests administered at their school, Debra realized there was a problem. “And Tristan would get loud,” she said, another sign of trouble. Doctors suspect it’s a genetic condition, so their little sister, Ellen, will be tested eventually, as well. But with two boys in need of hearing aids, they had to find some help, said Debra. Enter the United Healthcare Children’s Foundation, which provides grants to fill the gap between what a child needs and what their benefit plan will pay for. Tristan and Daniel were selected for the honor because of their “inspiring perseverance in dealing with childhood hearing loss,” said Amber DiGiallonardo, publicist for the foundation. But the boys were just as excited about what was to come next. On Aug. 1, the United Healthcare pro cycling team competed in the Littleton Twilight Criterium, with Bikes continues on Page 4

You might not think it’s a big deal for three teenagers to get a summer job cleaning stables and grooming horses at Littleton’s Coventry Farms, especially when you hear that all three had previous experience riding and taking care of the animals. But does your perception change when you hear that all three are in various stages of blindness? “It’s a real confidence builder to be with this big, large animal and make a connection with them,”
said Dan Burke of the Colorado Center for the Blind, where the kids were part of the Earn and Learn summer program. “I think they learn they can do things here that they didn’t think they could do,” said Cheryl Clossen, who is with The Right Step, a therapeutic riding program that operates out of the rustic Coventry Farms, tucked into a secluded valley southeast of Mineral Avenue and Santa Fe Drive. And that’s the point, said Burke. CCB’s focus is on teaching its students to be independent, and to completely live in the world in any capacity they want. “I like it there a lot,” said Marie Frackiewicz, who volunteers at a horse ranch in her hometown of Horses continues on Page 4

FACES AMONG US
NEWS IN A HURRY Safety first as kids return to school
Some students in Arapahoe County head back to school as early as Aug. 5. To help ensure the students are making it to school safely, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office will initiate Safe Start 2015 on Aug. 3. The increase in the number of children walking and biking, coupled with changes in schedules and routines, creates a greater risk of transportation-related injuries to children. Safe Start 2015 is a traffic safety campaign that includes both education and enforcement. Now in its fourth year, it’s designed to educate motorists, parents and children about accident prevention and safe pedestrian movement. In 2014, the campaign resulted in 160 citations for moving violations that critically impacted the safety of children. Arapahoe County deputies from the sheriff’s school resource officer and traffic units will focus on contacting motorists who illegally pass school buses, speed in school zones, fail to wear or ensure that their children wear safety belts, and those who commit other unsafe driving actions near schools.

HELLO
My hobbies I enjoyed a lot of time in what Jim used to call my creation room, with my sewing machine and things like that. We liked hiking. We loved moving here because of all the outdoor activities. We enjoyed boating in Minnesota, and the kids all liked water skiing. That was the land of lakes, of course.
A glimpse of the people in our community
... My Name Is
HELEN WOOD
Longtime Littleton resident, great-grandmother My background I’m 91, and I’ve lived in Littleton since 1971. I grew up in the Black Hills. Then I went to Minnesota to go to college. That’s where I met my husband, Charles. He was a mortgage broker. We lived in Minnesota for 25 years. He was transferred here by his company, Investors Diversified. I taught school, but back then, when teachers got married, they didn’t teach anymore. They stayed home to take care of their kids. So after that I was just being a mom. Charles died in 2008. When we came here, we became active in Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, and I’m very thankful for that. It’s been a blessing in our lives. My son Jim is in Minnesota with his growing family, children and grandchildren. My daughter, Dottie, lives

Littleton has changed Right now, it seems to be in a big building expansion. When you drive around, you see so many new structures. My granddaughter lives here with her husband and two children. We’re very thankful for that, because our years in Littleton were very important to us. Littleton was growing when we got here, which was good for my husband, being a mortgage broker. The oil industry was in a boom. We lived near St. Mary’s school, and there was not much built south of us. That has certainly changed with Highlands Ranch. We had very nice neighbors. Everybody was new, so everybody wanted to get acquainted. My passion I’ve always loved the out of doors, and I’m sure that’s part of growing up in the Black Hills. I played tennis until my early 80s. And church and family, of course. I certainly have had a lot of good friends, but when you get to be this age, a lot of them are gone. I live in Riverwalk now. I just moved across the river. It’s nice to be able to stay in Littleton. By Jennifer Smith. If you have a suggestion for My Name Is… contact her at jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Presbyterian church gets new pastor
First Presbyterian Church of Littleton, at the corner of Littleton Boulevard and Windermere Street, welcomes the Rev. Cody Sandahl as its new pastor and head of staff. He and his wife, Becca, and their son, Charlie, relocated here from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in April. Shortly thereafter they welcomed another son, Caleb, who was born in Littleton on the Fourth of July. Sandahl was born in Austin, Texas, and graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in computer science. After working as a computer programmer, he felt the call to ministry and attended Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He helped start a church in Austin before going to the First Presbyterian Church of Bethlehem, where he served for five years as discipleship pastor and one year as pastor for executive duties. First Presbyterian Church of Littleton began serving the Littleton community in 1883 at the corner of Curtis and Main streets in downtown Littleton. It moved in 1929 to its current location, into the building designed by locally renowned architect J.B. Benedict. It was designated by the city of Littleton as a historic landmark in 1996.

Bikes Continued from Page 1
Tristan and Daniel leading the way in the pace car as “Honorary Pro Cyclists for a Day.” The team races at all the big events around the country, and chooses one each year from which to donate the winnings to the children’s foundation. The Littleton event was chosen this year. “When I see these kids, I say how proud I am to be with United Healthcare and be able to help them get on with their life,” said Grant Snyder, UHC’s vice president of sales. In addition to the bikes and heading up the race, Tristan and Daniel got autographed team jerseys, helmets and other team swag, right down to the socks. But they know what’s really important. “The hearing aids help me very well, and now I can hear a lot better around the community,” Tristan said.

Surprise, Arizona, but had never been to CCB before this summer. “It taught me a lot of skills, and I made a lot of friends who are probably going to be my friends for a while.” She said it was great to be around kids her age who are experiencing the same things as she is, like finding her tribe in a world that doesn’t always understand her. “We believe in our students,” said Burke. “It isn’t that people are out there to do mean things to blind kids or adults, it’s just that they don’t believe in you. So you

have to take that belief home with you.” Like those new friendships, Clossen said bonds also form between the horses and the clients. Because horses have individual personalities — kind of like giant kittens — emotional attachments can be formed. Many of the program’s horses have lived longer than most, she said, because in addition to lots of social interaction and exercise, they get babied by the clients. Proving Clossen right, Bronwen Tedesco took a real shine to her horse, Louie. But horseback riding isn’t the only thing she’s enjoyed during her summer at CCB. “It was really rewarding,” said Tedesco, who’s been blind since
birth. “It was great to have a job experience, as well. But I also liked whitewater rafting, and mountain climbing was awesome. I’d been climbing before, but never outdoors. It requires a lot more strength and effort, but it was really nice to hear the river running below.” Her classmate and co-worker Ariel Gallegos grew up with horses on the countryside in Chihuahua, Mexico, but he said The Right Stuff taught him things even he didn’t know, like how to tell when a horse is shy or doesn’t like something. “Ariel, if you will relax, he will relax,” Clossen told him gently as he rode Apache out of the arena for a trail ride. “There you go — that’s better.”

Windows 10 launch becomes festive event One Republic gives concert in lot outside Park Meadows By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com The July 29 launch of the new Windows 10 operating system took on some star glitter when the Microsoft Store at Park Meadows mall in Lone Tree gave out 1,500 free passes to a One Republic concert in the mall parking lot. In addition to the July 31 concert by the popular band, the store hosted numerous demonstrations of the product and gave away free food and prizes. “We’re just trying to get everyone to upgrade their world,” said Jessica Oleis, Microsoft community development specialist, referencing the product’s slogan. The Lone Tree store wasn’t the only one to host a star-studded event. The Santa Clara, California, store hosted NBA Finals MVP and Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala, and at the Seattle store Doug Baldwin of the Seattle Seahawks made an appearance.
Windows 10 brings back some features from previous versions such as the start button on the bottom left-hand corner of the screen and the ability to switch between multiple desktops. Windows 10 brings back some familiar functions from previous versions of the platform, such as the start button in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen and
being able to switch back and forth between multiple desktops. The biggest new feature is the introduction of Cortana, Microsoft’s voice-ac-
tivated personal assistant. Cortana can search your computer or the Web with voice commands and will follow you from your desktop or tablet to Windows Phone. “It allows you to interact on a more personal and natural level,” said Windows technician Colton Baines. “You can control her all through voice. Cortana is probably one of the first and best examples of the universal nature of being able to move from device to device.” For example, one could set a reminder through Cortana on a desktop computer in the morning. Then, later in the day when it is time for the task, Cortana will send an alert via phone. The Microsoft Store will hold special classes and workshops in the coming weeks to teach people about the new operating system and its features. People who own the previous two versions of Windows can come into the store and get help upgrading to Windows 10 for free. You can also bring in your Windows tablet or PC to a Microsoft Store for a free “upgrade assessment,” which will let you know whether your device is ready to upgrade to Windows 10.
Swedish Medical Center names new president Hammett moves over from Aurora facility By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Richard Hammett is the new president and chief executive officer of Swedish Medical Center in Englewood. Hammett takes the place of Mary M. White, who served in the position for 20 years and oversaw extensive expansions of services and facilities, including the hospital’s Level 1 Trauma Center and Trauma Research Program. “Part of what makes Swedish such a unique facility is momentum,” said Hammett. “Always innovating, adding services
and improving quality patient care is expected from a medical center with such a rich history in the community for more than 100 years. As the president and CEO, I will continue to drive that momentum, and identify and build programs that serve the needs of our city and region.” Prior to accepting the position at Swedish, Hammett was president and Hammett CEO at The Medical Center of Aurora. Both are HealthONE facilities. “This new position for Richard is a reflection of the results he has achieved at TMCA since arriving in 2012, leading the
hospital to significant quality achievements and expansion of services and facilities,” said Sylvia Young, HealthONE’s CEO. “Swedish has some of the most advanced medical programs in the nation, and these areas of expertise draw patients from all over the state, the region and even the world,” said Hammett. “To work with the physicians and staff at such a renowned medical facility is not only exciting, it is an honor.” The 368-bed hospital has 2,000 employees and more than 1,300 physicians who care for more than 200,000 patients annually. A winner of the National Research Corporation Consumer Choice Award for more than a decade, Swedish is also a Top 100 Hospital recognized by Reuters.

Hammett serves on the Colorado Hospital Association’s board of directors and is a fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives. He has master’s degrees in both business administration and health administration and earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama. He and his wife, Amy, have two daughters and one son. He enjoys his family, running, snowboarding and almost anything involving the outdoors.

Historic sites get boost in Littleton Upkeep money goes to properties in district By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Littleton has a hard-working Historic Preservation Board that meets the third Monday of each month, assisted by a planner from the city staff. The board has quasi-judicial power to rule on proposed changes in the facades of historic buildings that are designated as Littleton Landmarks (throughout the city) or are included in the Main Street Historic District. Inclusion in the Main Street Historic District is optional and there is a continual focus on convincing additional building owners of the financial advantage of inclusion. In addition to tax advantages, the Littleton City Council has budgeted money to be used for modest incentive grants to property owners for improvements to the exterior of their buildings. The 2015 budget is for $50,000, and the board finalized awards at a public hearing on July 20 after accepting applications with input from owners in June. Keeping historic buildings in good repair is an ongoing challenge and the board has developed expertise through input from ar-

able. Grants were awarded to (names of properties relate to their history): • The Historic Duplex, 2681 West Alamo Ave. (Now Buttercup Junction and Susan Williams Boutique), will receive $11,000 to replace cedar shake siding on the second story facade, which has deteriorated due to strong sunlight on the southern exposure. • Weston Masonic Lodge, 5718 South
Rapp St., needs tuck-pointing of its mortar in the 1921 brick building, and $20,000 is allotted to repair the mortar on the south side of the building — where the damage from southern exposure is apparent. Gradually, the Masons will repair all four sides and be fit for another century of use in the wellmaintained, frequently used building. • Thomas Building, 2400 W. Main Street (Willow — An Artisan’s Market), will receive $8,000 to replace an unsightly old main feed to electric wiring at the corner of what was called the Thomas Block after the accountant who built it about 1920. • Littleton Electric, 2690 West Main St. (at the end, facing west), started out as a service station, then was an office and showroom for Littleton Electric. Now owned by businessman Rick Acres — (as is the Thomas Block) — it houses several tenants. It will receive $11,000 toward restructuring the flat roof into a new tapered roof system. Objectives of the grant program are: 1. Increasing the number of properties in the district. 2. Expanding the district’s economic vitality. 3. Helping to maintain and improve properties in the district. The city planning department’s Dennis Swain (dswain@littletongov.org) can provide information on eligible improvements and procedures for 2016 grants. Higher priority is given to recent additions to the district.

DUI penalties among new laws in Colorado
Felony provision will bring -possibility of six-year term e By Ivan Moreno
,Associated Press e - Colorado will begin punishing habitual drunken drivers with felonies and longer prison sentences, one of dozens of new laws taking effect this week. Law enforcement agencies will also have access to records of misconduct for officers they want to hire, part of a package of measures in response to allegations of wrongdoing by police nationally and in the state. Sometimes disciplinary records are sealed -as part of resignation agreements and hirying agencies may never know when a prospective employee has a history of misbehavior. Another measure begins phasing out microbeads by 2020. The tiny plastic particles found in soaps and cosmetic products are too fine to be caught in wastewater treatment plants and can pollute lakes and -
rivers. In all, 120 laws took effect Aug. 5. The tougher punishments on repeat DUI offenders took years to pass. Colorado has been among five states where habitual drunken drivers are charged only with misdemeanors regardless of how many times they’re arrested. Those against the stricter punishment worried about increased costs to imprison offenders and argued that investing in substance abuse treatment was a wiser option. But gut-wrenching crashes involving drunken drivers with several previous convictions made it difficult for lawmakers to continue to oppose the legislation. In January, Gilbert Martinez, 37, and his sons, Ethan, 6, and Bryson 1, were on their way home from church when authorities say they were struck and killed by a drunken driver with eight prior DUI arrests. The crash happened in Weld County, which is represented by one of the lawmakers who sponsored the bill. “I keep looking back and saying maybe if this was in effect for a while, this family
would still be alive,” Republican Sen. John Cooke said. The new law makes a fourth DUI a felony punishable by up to six years in prison and a fine of as much as $500,000. Ellie Phipps, 49, testified in favor of the bill in February, telling lawmakers she was going to the gym on a Saturday morning three years ago when she was hit by someone with six prior DUIs. Phipps suffered major injuries to her spine. “I just hope that it helps prevent future citizens from either dying or being severely injured like I was on our roads,” Phipps, a Grand Junction resident, said July 31. Other laws taking effect: • State wildlife officials will study Colorado’s black bear population and how to reduce conflicts with humans. They will report their findings to lawmakers by year’s end. The state estimates there are between 16,000 and 18,000 black bears in Colorado, up from about 12,000 in the early 2000s. • The state’s Department of Public Safety will compile data to release each March that tracks demographic information for
‘I keep looking back ... maybe if this was in effect for a while, this family would still be alive,’ Republican Sen. John Cooke
criminal charges and sentencing, as well as what happens at parole hearings. The goal is to determine whether disparities exist in how cases are adjudicated. • Mandatory fines will be imposed on people convicted of animal fighting. Legislators acknowledge the law is about sending a message taking a stance against animal fighting. Only two people in Colorado have been convicted of the crime in the past three years.

Pot industry’s bank bid rejected by regulators Lawsuits aim to ease woes tied to necessity of cash By Kristen Wyatt
Associated Press
A Colorado credit union is hoping a federal judge will intervene to let the booming marijuana industry move its finances from cash-stuffed suitcases to the regulated banking system. A pair of lawsuits filed in Denver last week challenge recent decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the National Credit Union Administration to deny applications from Fourth Corner Credit Union. The credit union was set up last year to serve Colorado’s marijuana industry, but it needed permission from federal insurers and regulators before opening for business. The Federal Reserve rejected Fourth Corner’s application in July. The decision means many pot businesses still use elaborate banking work-arounds — from paying the power bill with money orders to spritzing skunky cash with Febreze to avoid scrutiny. The U.S. Treasury Department issued guidelines last year for how banks could

accept pot money. But many large banks considered the guidelines onerous and still won’t take deposits related to marijuana businesses, prompting Colorado banking regulators to set up a proposed credit union to comply with those guidelines. Fourth Corner would have allowed pot shops and growers to access not just basic checking but also lines of credit and other financial products the expanding industry wants. “We thought it was a good model,” said Andrew Freedman, marijuana adviser to Gov. John Hickenlooper. “It’s an under-banked industry, and that’s a problem not just for them but for the people of Colorado” because of the security risks of doing business in cash, he said. The marijuana industry isn’t completely without banking services. Some 400 financial institutions have filed thousands of marijuana-related reports with federal banking regulators in compliance with last year’s guidance. But many in the marijuana industry say they face significant hurdles, even fielding offers from shady entrepreneurs offering to fly their cash to another country to set up offshore accounts. When a pot business wants to expand — perhaps by building a
new warehouse or renovating a storefront — it typically has to find a cash investor willing to accept the risk of fronting money to a business that’s illegal under federal law, usually in exchange for a steep interest rate. “They have to pay a premium to get those banking services,” said Tyler Henson, head of the Colorado Cannabis Chamber of Commerce, which represents pot growers and retailers as well as ancillary businesses such as grow-light manufacturers. “Everyone wants a solution because nobody wants to give their retail employee a paycheck, $1,500 in cash, and ask them to walk home with that late at night. It’s just not safe.” But the National Credit Union Administration cited uncertainty about the marijuana business in declining Fourth Corner’s application for deposit insurance. In a July 2 letter, the agency told the credit union that the marijuana industry “does not have an established track record of success and remains illegal at the federal level.” Two weeks later, the Federal Reserve rejected the credit union’s application for a “master account,” which Fourth Corner would need to interact with other financial institutions. The credit union filed two lawsuits July 30 challenging the decisions.
“The NCUA lacks expertise in the operation and regulation of the state legalized cannabis industry,” the credit union argued in its complaint. Representatives of the NCUA and Federal Reserve declined to comment on the lawsuits. U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, a Colorado Democrat who has joined unsuccessful efforts to pass legislation allowing marijuana businesses to access financial services, said that Congress remains the best hope to fixing the problem. Polis pointed to a vote last month by the Senate Appropriations Committee to amend a Financial Services spending bill to let banks provide financial services to statelegalized marijuana dispensaries. That amendment still faces House approval, but Polis predicted that Congress would agree to some sort of solution within a couple of years. Still, the nascent pot business was hoping an industry credit union could help mitigate the problem sooner. Taylor West, head of the National Cannabis Industry Association, said the frequent bank filings about dealings with the pot business are misleading. “If you look at those filings, a lot of them are termination notices,” West said.

In reality, customer isn’t always right
e
We have all seen it or witnessed it before, a customer who is antagonistic, rude and o obnoxious, treating the employee or manager or business owner so poorly that they end up t belittling the person and making everyone g around them uncomfortable. They behave this way because they believe that such y aggressiveness coupled with a raised voice o and an attitude of anger will get them better o service. Stop and think about that for one minute. t I am sure you also see the irony and ridicut lousness of such a thought process. Yet some e people just can’t help themselves, missing f the whole concept of catching more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Regardless of the business we are in and p the role we play, our number one goal should be creating customer loyalty and building a network of raving fans that will allow us to t generate the income that we need in order to t provide the best service possible. And I would say that as a consumer in the community I am m almost always pretty impressed with the level of service, attitude and knowledge of the folks who are there to help me. Let me ask you a question, have you ever found yourself in a position where you had to fire a customer? Yes, you read that right, have you ever had to fire a customer? Have you ever been fired as a customer? I can share with you that I have ended relationships with sev-
eral customers over the years. It was always a little uncomfortable but I had no regrets when it was finally done. You see, the customer may always be the customer, but the customer is not always right, and the customer does not have the right to treat you or your employees rudely. Michael Norton Now don’t get me wrong, it is always a last WINNING resort to take such a WORDS drastic action. There are discussions and compromises offered, some sharing of information and even some negotiation. But when the aggressive behavior and angry attitude are consistent and the requests are outrageous and unreasonable, it is time to suggest to the customer that they should seek your particular products and services elsewhere. Again the customer is always the customer, but not every customer is a good or profitable customer. Setting mutual expectations up front is the key in helping to avoid such uncomfortable and awkward situations. Providing ourselves and our employees with safe boundaries when such customers show up in our busi-
ness will reduce stress and preserve our employees’ dignity while leading to a reduction in staffing turnover. Stop and think about any recent interactions where you were the one involved in a conflict with a business or where you witnessed a terrible incident. How did you feel? How do you think the other people around you felt? The words that come to mind are embarrassed, uncomfortable, disappointed, and maybe even sympathetic for both the consumer and the employee. So, how about you? Are you a good customer? Do you understand that not everything is perfect every time and that if you maintain a positive attitude, open mind, and participate constructively with the businesses where you love to shop, eat, drink and play, in finding a mutually rewarding win-win solution, that you will never find yourself being “fired” as a customer? I would really love to hear your thoughts about the importance of being a good customer at gotnorton@gmail.com, and when we realize that being a good customer is being a good citizen, 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.
Time is ripe for yet another banana blight
The banana’s appeal is not slipping. But the future of bananas is in doubt, and it’s not because they have a shelf life from here to the cash register. A CNN report said, “Fifty years ago we were eating better bananas.” The article went on to say that in 1965 things changed because of a fungal disease. “It started in Central America and quickly spread to most of the world’s commercial banana plantations, leaving no other choice but to burn them down.” I didn’t know anything about it. That was the year I graduated from high school, left home and started college. I was not focusing on bananas. I like bananas. I like the packaging. I can get into a banana without any problems. Have you ever tried to open a pomegranate? A pineapple? A prickly pear? The only problem — I thought — with bananas was their shelf life, which is hours — it seems — not days. Bananas are shipped green, turn yellow in the store, and brown in your back seat. I am (almost) exaggerating. You can slow the ripening process by putting them in the refrigerator. I’ll bet you didn’t know this: If you place bananas near other fruit, the other fruit will ripen faster. In 1965, the banana industry was reeling because of the fungus.
Craig Marshall Smith
QUIET DESPERATION
So a new fungusresistant species was introduced that is hardier. It just doesn’t taste as good. Of course, if you were born after 1965, you don’t know the difference. And neither do I. My banana palette was not very well developed until much later, when I heard about their benefits. Although I still don’t know why I
need potassium. Around 1990, a new disease that started in Malaysia began to affect bananas. The disease took a boat to Australia. It made it to Africa in 2013. If the new 1965 species is done for, we’re probably looking at a banana that won’t taste as good, but can survive. Look at tomatoes. Outside of a farmers’ market and heirlooms, they are flavorless. They look like tomatoes. But they don’t taste like tomatoes. I handle tomatoes at the store, and they all feel like a three ball.
I am in favor of canned tomatoes now. But not canning tomatoes. My grandmother used to do that. She started on a Monday and by Saturday she was all set. You’re supposed to eat canned tomatoes within a year, but there are stories about canned tomatoes that were consumed after more than a year. More than two years. All I know is that we had a picnic in my grandmother’s back yard, and I had a picnic in the bathroom that night. I try to stay away from home-canned fruits and vegetables now. Not very adventuresome of me, I know. There is hope for the banana and the banana industry. I will keep my eyes peeled. He said. Because I am a family of one, I never buy more than two or three bananas at one time. Bananas are sold in bunches, but you can take exactly what you need, which leaves a lot of lonely bananas on the shelf. Those are the ones I go for. Unless they are browning. Don’t send me a recipe for banana bread. I had my fill in the 1970s. Bananas are just a little depressing. Life is short, but it shouldn’t be that short. Go eat a banana.

College opens doors to self and wider world
Hamlet’s inconsistent character used to irk me until I saw David Davalos’ play “Wittenberg” at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival in Boulder. I realize that, as a second-year college student, I can relate to the young prince’s internal struggles. The dramedy is a salute to higher education, as it follows Hamlet’s fictitious senior year at the University of Wittenberg, where he encounters two of the most reformative and revolutionary figures of the 16th century: Martin Luther and Dr. Faustus. Where else but at a university would one find two such formidable theorists, one advocating radical free thinking and the other faith? The opposing counsels explain some of Hamlet’s ensuing madness in his own tragedy. The play nods to collegiate years as a unique time of ripeness for exploration and a critical period to fall in love with learning. I entered this period last fall at the University of Missouri, Columbia, with an honors humanities course about the early modernworld era. It was the best class I could have ttaken as a budding freshman. To me, humanities is the study of loving learning and loving people. It can talk about all subjects while adding a stroke of human heart and dashes of beautiful language. This class opened my
mind to arts, philosophy, music and literature as an introduction to the broader world college introduces. It also allowed me to begin my journey at a large university with a voice. I sat in a tight circle of desks and discussed literary themes and beliefs with just Anna Sutterer 10 students of varied experiences. If you are GUEST attending a large uniCOLUMN versity or will be, count these intimate settings as a blessing and appreciate the close work you do with peers and a good professor. In a place where few to none know who you really are — or when you are trying to figure that out yourself — your voice can get lost. I arrived at the end of my class schedule some days realizing I had not uttered a word for several hours. Truth be told, I found myself whispering to my own stream of consciousness as I walked. This had to stop, so I began listening to podcasts. (Side note: National
Public Radio’s series “Invisibilia” is my obsession and should be yours too.) Shutting up was a good thing, though. I never really understood how small my world was in high school until then, and how filled it was with my own chatter. I was absorbed in my youth group, football games, dances, volleyball and the school paper. The only things I really knew about the working world were a short experience as a gardenshop cashier and nannying. I had grown to know and understand this small corner very well, so it was a good time to get out. Leaving home to attend journalism school in a town I had never heard of — and in a state I frankly had never considered — provided some extra benefits. I was a new kid who knew nobody, and if I was going to find a comfort enough to get down to work in this new town, I needed to sit and listen. I’ve walked through the University of Missouri’s Speakers Circle, where tables set for charity organizations and debates about faith challenged me to consider things larger than myself. I’ve conversed with atheists over coffee, danced at a gay pride prom, worshiped down the aisle in an on-campus chapel and College continues on Page 10

Quilt show returning to church sanctuary ‘Interpretations of Elegance’ is theme for event tied to fest
IF YOU GO
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Interpretations of Elegance” is the theme for the 2015 annual Western Welcome Week quilt show and luncheon at First Presbyterian Church of Littleton, according to organizer Jennie Staritzky, who has invited people to bring in favorite quilts to share with the community for a few days: Aug. 13-15. The quilts will be draped over the pews of the historic church at 1609 W. Littleton Blvd. for people to enjoy from noon to 7 p.m. on Aug. 14 and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 15. Admission is free. In advance, at 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 9, quilt maker and historian Lori Stubbs will speak, show and discuss her vintage 1880 quilts, followed by a light lunch ($11). Reservations needed (Staritzky says this event sells out). Those willing to exhibit their quilts are asked to bring them to the church between noon and 6 p.m. on Aug. 13. Staritzky said there are usually more than 100 displayed. The event started in 2003, when an interim pastor asked Staritzky to plan a 120th birthday event for the church during Western Welcome Week. Response comes from both church members and the community at large. “It’s amazing who quilts,” she said, remembering a man whom she would have guessed was a heavy equipment operator, who brought a lovely quilt one time. The show is not judged,

volunteered at a documentary film festival. My mind was never far from controversy or mulling over what new discussions I had come across that day. After you’ve kept quiet long enough to listen carefully to the diversity, the minorities and the masses, you may — and must — open your mouth. Like Hamlet in “Wittenberg,” we are pushed to doubt
The Annual Quilt Show at First Presbyterian Church of Littleton is at 1609 W. Littleton Blvd. Deliver quilts from noon to 6 p.m. on Aug. 13, pick up at 3 p.m. on Aug. 15. Luncheon and lecture by Lori Stubbs is at 12:30 p.m. Aug. 9 (reservations: 303-798-1389). she said. Staritzky says she had two grandmothers who were quilters, but she actually is not. She is, however, a serious collector. She is a retired Littleton Public Schools teacher, and in the 1980s was a Littleton City Council member. “I was intimidated by the 14 stitches to the inch expected,” she said. She did complete one quilt — her grandmother had pieced a Kansas Star, which she quilted and was unhappy with the results, so she embroidered over it and decided to collect. “I started to visit antique shows and have about 50 — especially 1930s quilts — the era of the grandmothers. There is one made out of feed sacks where you can still see the `chick feed.’” She continued: “So much was so transient — she was on a farm and cooked meals that were gone right away. Having something beautiful was satisfying, a way to honor time, energy, thought, imagination …” At the same time, church members will hold their Country Store Craft Sale and Used Book Sale, with a donated quilt to be raffled. Proceeds go to a different charity each year.
and question everything. To keep an open mind but then stand up for what we believe. Both Martin Luther and Dr. Faustus, strong in their convictions, emphasized the individual’s choice, either toward God or free thinking or both. For me, as a Christian and journalist, implementing these two attitudes is crucial and enjoyable. My favorite part of journalism is the lifelong effort to learn and gain wisdom by meeting people I never would have met otherwise. I listen to their stories, passions and lessons and find a way to communicate the truth to myself and to

the public. With all the benefits of opening oneself to a wide variety of people and experiences, still, a close set of people is necessary to survive — and to inspire. My advice is: As soon as possible, find a tight camaraderie with whom you share beliefs and walks of life. They will be your sounding board for all the groanings of growing pains you will endure. For me, this group was my campus ministry and small group. Freshman year is bizarre. The move, the blank social slate, the large classes and looming future of the real
world make a perfectly graceful transition nearly impossible. But I’m looking forward to learning how to be an actual adult human. And I’m encouraged by the incredible opportunities growing up has offered me so far: this byline, traveling, encountering different philosophies, and challenging my faith and convictions to stand true. Anna Sutterer, 19, is preparing to enter her second year of college as a journalism student at the University of Missouri, Columbia. She is a graduate of Arapahoe High School.

The Centennial taste

Coloradans savor a multitude of foods and flavors By Taryn Walker
“Have you ever noticed how Coloradans take on a niche for everything and make it creative?” she said while shopping on a recent Wednesday at the farmers market at Aspen Grove in Littleton. “You’ve got to try some of our Vietnamese and Ethiopian food here in this state.”
When it comes to signature foods, the word on the street is that peaches, green chiles (the pepper and the dish), beef, lamb and bison are among them. Here’s a look at a variety of foods — and a popular beverage — that bring big taste to the Centennial State.
A PLACE FOR PRODUCE
MORE THAN BEEF
Gina Vega of Ray Domenico Farms said Colorado food means greens. The farms are based in Platteville and are certified organic — which is important to residents in the state, she said. Kale and spinach do especially well and so do collard greens and cabbage, she said. “We always sell out of spinach,” Vega said. Beets, pickles and Italian peppers are also something Vega said she sees a lot of people eyeing and buying. Becoming organic wasn’t easy, but beneficial to customers, she said. “The process took about five years to switch over,” Vega said. “My uncle took over the farm and realized organic was the way to go, because there was such a strong need for it. The Colorado Department of Agriculture comes in and tests the fields and water, and there’s guidelines that must be followed, then we’re fully evaluated.” Locally grown food inspires a feeling of community, Littleton resident John Herian said. Herian, a frequent vendor at area farmers markets, said when he thinks of Colo-
The state of Colorado is the fourth largest exporter of fresh and frozen beef in the United States, which makes things a little easier on those who hanker for burgers. Crave Real Burgers has three locations — Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch and Colorado Springs — and the trio of stores has sold more than a million burgers since their opening in 2010, manager Macerena Revis said. “We hand-form our 80/20 (beef/fat) sixounce patties,” she said. “We don’t get anything that’s frozen; we know exactly what’s in it. I think people ask a lot of questions about what they’re eating, because they want to know where it’s coming from. All of our beef is from a Colorado ranch — it’s local.” Revis said Crave’s top-selling burger is “Love Stinks,” which is topped with roasted garlic cream cheese, more garlic, onions, roasted red pepper and red pepper aioli. Also featured is the “Colorado,” which is shredded lamb, poblano peppers, onions, pepper jack cheese, avocado, chipotle mayo and tomato.
The state ranks third in the nation for market sheep and lamb, according to the Colorado Department of Agriculture. Buffalo — or more accurately, bison — might be an odd sight on a menu in many states, but it’s common here. Revis said buffalo burgers are a hot item at her store because Coloradans like leaner meat. Buffalo burgers have less fat and aren’t too different in taste from ground beef, she said — especially topped with condiments like raspberry barbecue sauce.
twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com What is Colorado cuisine? Parker resident, cookbook author and TasteBook.com columnist Jenny Hartin said after spending 15 years in New York,
two in Phoenix and the last two in Colorado, the truth is “all cuisines are a melting pot of what we love and enjoy, and foods that our families have instilled into memories.” Littleton’s Denise Wynn said Colorado food staples have blossomed into traditions and tastes that come from other countries.
Greens like kale and spinach, especially organic, are hot items for Coloradans, said Gina Vega of Ray Domenico Farms. rado food, peaches — in particular, Palisade peaches — come to mind. Forte Farms, out of Palisade, specializes in peaches — including varieties some outof-staters have never even heard of. One passer-by at the market marveled over the farms’ donut peaches and bought a bundle. Employee George Vulin recommended the white peach, which is a sweet hybrid grown with apricots and plums. Vulin said peaches grow best in the Grand Junction area because of the climate.
A BREW FOR YOU Colorado’s 235 craft breweries as of 2014 were the third most in the nation, according to the Brewers Association, www.brewersassociation.org. Carrie Knose, co-owner and manager of Living the Dream Brewing Co. in Highlands Ranch, agrees that beer rules in this state. “It’s an integral part of our economy,” she said. “It’s kind of been creating its own culture in the past few years. People are becoming more exposed to the different styles of beer and what you can do with the brewing process.” Knose said IPAs are huge in Colorado.

A bite of bison
The “Campfire” from Crave Real Burgers in Highlands Ranch has a bison patty topped with pepper jack cheese, raspberry barbecue sauce and coffee-dusted onion strings.
Shockingly, the lean bison meat was incredibly flavorful and juicy, providing a nice contrast with the sweet sauce.

BRINGING THE FLAVOR

most popular by far, followed by Helluva Caucasian, which is a chocolate peanut butter espresso stout. “Our double IPA is insanely popular too,” Knose said. “It’s been the dominant style of beer over the past 10 years. People love their hops, and ours is very aromatic and hop forward.” Although her establishment doesn’t sell food, it does feature food trucks. In fact, trucks like Churn & Burn, which station themselves around the Denver area, use Living the Dream’s beer to make sauce bases, Knose said.
Jeannette Martinez of J & J’s Gourmet Salsa said her homemade salsas, pico de gallo and seven-layer dips are hot items for Colorado residents. In fact, several Denver Broncos players are avid buyers of her products, she said. It all started with her grandma’s recipe and a fundraiser, and ever since she’s sold burritos, tamales, enchiladas, tortillas, gorditas and corn chips to enhance the flavorful mix of her salsas. She makes bean and cheese pork green chile burritos by special order, and people can’t get enough, she said. The jalapenos, cilantro and chiles are all Colorado-born, she said. Hartin, who edited the PTO cookbook for Mammoth Heights Elementary in Park-
er, said she had more than 25 green chile enchilada recipes, as well as several green chile soups and other dishes submitted by parents. “Apparently southern Colorado is green chile country,” she said. “The altitude, hot
days and cool nights are prime growing conditions, I’ve read. Whenever any food item is in abundance, of course, it becomes the food of that area — Maryland crab cakes, anyone?”
Going Green
Jenny Hartin’s ‘Green Chile and Mac & Cheese’ recipe Ingredients: • 1 pound of any shaped pasta, cooked for 3 minutes less than the al dente instructions, then rinsed and set aside • 6 tablespoons of butter • 6 tablespoons of flour • Salt, pepper to taste • Half a medium onion, diced
• Four roasted green chiles, stems removed and seeds removed, and chopped finely • 1 tablespoon of stone ground mustard • 4 cups of whole milk • One pound of shredded cheddar (or any combination of cheeses to your liking) Melt the butter in a heavy pot on medium heat and add onions to soften about two minutes. Add green chiles and com-
“Green Chile and Mac & Cheese” is one of food aficionado Jenny Hartin’s favorite dishes. The Parker resident said she’s famous for her mac, but in this recipe, she adds green chiles to her cheddar cheese and noodles to spice things up — the Colorado way. Courtesy photo by Jenny Hartin bine. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper (about one good teaspoon of each) and flour to mixture and let the flour cook about two to three minutes. While that is working, place four cups of whole milk in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for three minutes. Slowly add warmed milk to the flour mixture and whisk to combine — allow to thicken for roughly five minutes — continually stirring. Add the mustard to the mixture and stir. Once the mixture is slight-
ly thickened, add your shredded cheese (reserving some to top). When the cheese is melted into the sauce, return the pasta to the pot and combine. Place the mac and cheese into a broiler safe vessel, sprinkle with remaining cheese and broil for five minutes until brown and bubbly. You can add more chiles if you like, depending on your heat preference.

The Arapahoe High School Toms march in last year’s Grand Parade. File photo
New faces join big parade Scouts, pageant participants, advocates will travel route By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Yes, there will be marching bands, horses, veterans and first responders in the Western Welcome Week Grand Parade on Aug. 15, along with local favorites like Cowboy Steve crooning country tunes and the adorable Wild West Shelties pulling their tiny covered wagon. But each new year brings some new faces, and this is no exception. Boy Scout Troop 444 has decided to
combine Halloween and WWW. Littleton’s oldest troop, which has been meeting at First Presbyterian Church for 87 years, took over the 14-year-old Haunts of Littleton walking tour from the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce four years ago and will be promoting it during the parade. Scout leader Bob Archibald said Brian Vogt and John Brackney, neither of whom work for the chamber anymore, were looking to hand the event over to a group in Littleton who would carry it on and use it to make a little money. “They found us, and it’s a blast,” said Archibald. October dates still need to be nailed down, but the tours will start at 7 p.m. and leave every 10 minutes. Those who dare to venture downtown will learn about the
Coleman Motors building, its connection to the horrific death of race-car driver Joe Unser, and the mysterious “facts” that followed, along with many other eerie Littleton tales of terror. On a lighter note, local winners of the Miss American Coed Pageant are busy practicing their parade waves. The pageant is unique in that it forbids the use of makeup for girls younger than 13, and there is no swimsuit competition. It’s just for girls — “coed” is being used in the sense of what young ladies in college were called back in the day. “It’s more about who the girl is as a person, and building self-esteem,” said local “queen mom” Melissa Jaye. “These are about them being who they are at their age, and being the best they can be. It’s mostly
about the girl next door.” In addition to Jaye’s daughters Claire, 6, and Adalia, 10, a half-dozen or so other girls will ride on the float. They do other pageants, too, but Jaye said those are mostly practice for the MAC Pageant. And on a more serious note, Littleton residents Courtney and Brent Orrange will be riding with The Justice Run, a fundraising marathon in October at Hudson Gardens that supports the Orranges’ work with victims of human trafficking in Sierra Leone, Africa. “I don’t know why we never thought of being in the parade before,” said Jenny Watson, the run’s organizer. “We’ve gone every year we’ve lived in Littleton, for the last eight years.”
From horseshoes to ‘newgrass,’ events set to debut New WWW activities welcome everyone By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com As the summer days wind down toward the first day of school, there is still the granddaddy of all summer celebrations to look forward to: The 87th annual Western Welcome Week. The word “week” is used loosely here. It’s really 10 days packed full of events, with something for everyone from toddlers to teens, millennials to the greatest generation. For those who have grown up with WWW, the old favorites still remain: fireworks and barbecue at Sterne Park to kick
things off with a bang on Aug. 7, the Rive r Po i n t e S w i n g Dance, the quilt show at First Presbyter ian Church, the pancake breakfast at Arapahoe Community College and, of course, Festival Day on Aug. 15 featuring the Grand Parade and this year’s grand marshal, former Littleton High School coach Maurice “Stringy” Ervin. But hold on to your cowboy hats: There
are several new events this year, too. To catch them all, start on Aug. 7 after the fireworks by heading to Jake’s Brew Bar on Main Street. There you can dance the rest of the night away with Dustin Devine and the Real Deal classic honky-tonk while enjoying vittles from the Rolling Truck BBQ food truck and a wide variety of beers. The next night, That Eighties Band will perform at the Little Jam concert in Bega Park downtown, then you can walk back up the block to Jake’s again for the Fretliners, a Boulder-based “newgrass” group. Although the Colorado Center for the Blind’s staff and students have marched in the parade for years, this year they’re hosting their own event. On Aug. 10 at 2 p.m. or Aug. 13 at 9 a.m., they hope everyone will visit them at 2233 W. Shepperd Ave., just south and up the hill from downtown Littleton. Students will lead interactive
tours of the facility, formerly the YMCA. They will explain Braille, demonstrate adaptive technology, help visitors maneuver around with a sleep shade and a cane, and show off their own cooking and woodworking skills. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has caught the Western spirit by the tail, as well. Every night at 7:30 from Aug. 10 through Aug. 13, it will present films to fit the bill: “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” “Once Upon a Time in the West” (featuring a five-course dinner/whiskey pairing for $60), “McCabe and Mrs. Miller” and “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.” With the exception of the dinner show, tickets are $11.25 for adults and $9 for seniors, military members and students.

Troop 114: Bearers of the banners Scouts lead the way in WWW Grand Parade By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Boy Scout Troop 114 has long been the unsung, behind-the-scenes hero of Western Welcome Week’s Grand Parade. Every Festival Day, troop members get up early and head over to the staging area at Ketring Park in Littleton. Their mission is to carry the banners in front of key parade entries like marching bands and veterans’ groups. “It’s a pretty proud moment for the troops to be in uniform,” said Jim Blair, a scoutmaster for the troop from 1986 through 1998. “They look pretty sharp, and their families are proud of them.” Troop 114 prides itself on being a particularly youth-driven troop, so one Scout is in charge of rounding up help and organizing them into banner-carrying teams. There are about 20 banners, and two or three kids per banner. “Sometimes, if we don’t have enough kids, we have to meet them at the end of the parade and drive them back to the beginning to carry another banner,” said Bob Dickinson, scoutmaster of the troop from 1997 through 2002. The WWW theme this year is “Birthday Bash,” so it’s a great time to recognize
Jim Blair and Bob Dickinson, former scoutmasters of Troop 114, say having their own space inside Littleton United Methodist Church helps preserve its sense of unity and continuity. Photo by Jennifer Smith the troop for its efforts over the years. The 74-year-old troop just recognized its 200th Eagle Scout, Philip Huggins, who recorded the memories of 15 World War II veterans from Littleton’s American Legion George C. Evans Post 103.
Blair said only 5 percent of Boy Scouts make Eagle nationally, but 20 percent of those in Troop 114 do. Additionally, 74 years is older than the average troop; the Denver Council just celebrated a full century last year.
Eagle Scout helps veterans share memories World War II stories preserved in video By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Most Eagle Scouts are proud of their accomplishments, but Philip Huggins has one reason nobody else can claim: His is the 200th Eagle Scout that Boy Scout Troop 114 has awarded since the troop’s inception 74 years ago. And it’s not just any ordinary Eagle Scout project that earned Huggins the honor, either. A selfdescribed “military brat,” he decided to honor 15 World War II veterans from Littleton’s American Legion George C. Evans Post 103 by interviewing them and creating a documentary full of their memories, their ambitions, their fears, their hopes.
“I’d like to be part of something gigantic like World War II,” said Huggins. “They have a lot of pride, and they didn’t back away from the challenge of being drafted. I want to have a milestone Huggins in history, that’s something I want to be a part of.” His dad is retired U.S. Navy, so he grew up in a lot of places — Japan, Kansas, Florida, Hawaii, Virginia, Brussels and finally Colorado. Huggins’ family and Boy Scouts were pretty much the only constants. “Boy Scouts taught me life skills, but what it really does is give you responsibility, so you’re not so dependent on your parents,” he said. “It’s kind of like training wheels for the rest of your life.” He was determined to end his
Boy Scout career on a high note, by doing something a little different than most Eagle Scout projects. “It’s just a great way to finish out strong,” he said. “When you put that much time and energy into something, you’ve got to finish it the best way you can.” Theodore Beckley, one of the veterans in the documentary, died soon after Huggins interviewed him. The video is dedicated to his memory. It can be viewed on YouTube and the websites of Troop 114 and American Legion Post 103. To watch the video, go to youtube.com and enter the title “World War II Veterans: American Legion Post 103, George C. Evans, Littleton, CO” in the search bar at top.
Since its inception, Troop 114 has met at Littleton United Methodist Church, which is celebrating its 125th birthday. “LUMC has been very supportive,” said Blair. “Our relationship with them has never been in question, except sometimes when we left a mess. But we always cleaned it up.” The church has even provided the Scouts their own room in the building, which allows them a place to permanently display their artifacts, like flags and photos, resulting in a heightened sense of history and continuity. Blair said the Methodist church is the largest global sponsor of Boy Scouts, though the Latter-day Saints hold that title in the United States. Blair and Dickinson, along with current Scoutmaster Bob Dagg, were all Eagle Scouts themselves, and all have sons who are or were Scouts. “It’s a terrific organization that helps young boys grow into men,” said Dagg. “It allows chances to fail and succeed in a very safe environment, and it provides an opportunity to learn, grow and develop essential adult skills.” Blair said Littleton has been a great place to nurture Troop 114. “Littleton is a wonderful, stable community, and the natural culture of it connects well with all youth programs,” he said. “The pleasure I get out of it is seeing these kids growing up in a positive direction,” said Dagg.

Painter Lee Wasilik, who is currently president of the gHeritage Fine Arts Guild, will join Diane Edwards in the -Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center for a “Western Heritage” art exhibit, in conjunction with Western Welcome Week 2015. Each artist will have about 10 paintings with a Western theme. A reception is planned from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 7 (which is also First Friday at other downtown Littleton galleries). Wasilik writes that his parents were excited over a drawing of a telephone lineman climbing a pole that he created at age 3 and were supportive of his art training as he grew up. “I’ve had three careers,” he said recently. “At first, I wanted to be a commercial artist and a college instructor talked me out of it. I became a high school teacher and after four years, landed a job with the Denver Record Stockman in commercial art as a tech illustrator and writer.” Laid off in 1983, he studied electronics at Front Range Community College and did technical writing for AT&T for a while, then worked for Neocad and others in Boulder,

“Companions” by Lee Wasilik, 36” x 36”. until he retired. “All the while, I was painting — mostly in watercolors.” He’s lived in Littleton for about 12 years and joined the Heritage Fine Arts Guild. “Now, I paint mostly in acrylics, with crayons, with mixed media,” which will appear in this year’s “This is Colorado” show, hosted by HFAG at Arapahoe Community College later in the fall. His paintings in the WWW show include a couple of Main Street and others of old rural locations.
Alamo Avenue, Kershaw Designs presents a program called2 RadioControlled Car Racing Fun. See demonstrations of high-powered RC cars with chain-saw engines, ride in a wagon pulled by a giant RC car ($5) and even rent hobbygrade cars to race yourself ($5 for the length of a battery charge).
Then, starting at 1 p.m., head to the east end of Main Street to see an authentic demonstration of horseshoeing, starting with coalforaging the shoes out of metal bars, and ending with farriers from Oleo Acres Farrier Supply affixing them to the hooves of a blue roan Percheron.
The HFAG has about 75 members and is growing, he said. (It once got to 150.) Diane Edwards of Fort Collins painted “Bales on the Front Range,” and says of her painting, “I was raised on a farm and bales were my nemesis, so it is amazing that they turn up so often in my work. I look for the light and love the raking light in the early evening, particularly during harvest time.” She is a master signature member of the Pastel Society of Colorado and says her paintings are of the Fort Collins area, Loveland and the Front Range. She has been creating art “all my life: I devote most of my time to painting and teaching as well as writing. I have written eight books on Scandinavian folk art painting …. I like to work in pastel because of the immediate brilliance of the color sticks … I also paint in oils because of the juicy bright paints!” She likes to paint on wood panels and vintage pieces.
For those with any energy left after all the excitement, the a capella rock band Face will perform a free concert at 6 p.m. on the front lawn at Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., on Aug. 16, the last day of WWW. For those who prefer to wind things down a bit more softly, the Old Timers Luncheon,
now renamed the Homecoming Luncheon to welcome anyone of any age who’d like to connect or reconnect with friends, starts at 10:30 a.m. at the museum. For more information on these and other WWW events, visit www.westernwelcomeweek.org or call 303-794-4870.

Englewood team sends equipment to Nicaraguan school By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Englewood High players and coaches displayed their love of baseball by donating gloves and other equipment to a school in the northern Nicaragua mountains. “A friend told me about the fact that the teams at a Nicaraguan high school had little equipment and didn’t have money to buy equipment,” said T.J. Harris, Englewood baseball coach. “I knew my friend was going to Nicaragua, so I asked our players to donate gloves they didn’t use any more. The kids brought some gloves, and we also sent some of our old uniforms to the Nicaraguan high school.” Harris said he has read that a lot of kids in Nicaragua love baseball. “We knew the school where the equipment was going was in the Nicaraguan city of Somoto,” the coach said. “We also learned the school didn’t get money for sports equipment. Just like it is here, equipment is expensive and it is out of reach for the children of families living in an area where the average salary in that area is $3 a day or less. So, I asked the players on our baseball team to join me in helping those kids who love the game of baseball by sending them equipment that isn’t used any longer.” Englewood player Sam Westra donated one of his baseball gloves to the project. “I know how much the game of baseball means to me and how the game can have a positive impact on lives,” the Englewood senior said. “When I heard about the fact young people in that city in Nicaragua didn’t have and couldn’t afford equipment I wanted to do what I could to help. I hope the items will help some of the young men in that country wake up with a smile on their faces because they know they have some equipment to use when they play baseball.” A group from Casa Unida Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Lakewood, took the donated equipment with them on the two-week July trip to Nicaragua. The mission of the foundation team’s trip was to construct a new building in the rural community of Sonis. The building will be the area’s church, but Angel Morasan, the church pastor, said it also will serve as the area’s community center. “We will hold services here each week in what we like to call our community’s gathering place,” he said through an interpreter. “The building will be used most days of the week for gatherings like meetings, as classrooms and for other community activities. It will be a wonderful addition to Sonis and a blessing to the people who live in and around our village.” Bob Moore, foundation president, said the team’s focus was construction of the building but there was time to deliver the donated equipment to the Nicaraguan high school. “We were based in Somoto, a city about 200 miles north of Managua. We knew about the need for sports equipment so we were glad to take the baseball equipment with us to Nicaragua,” said Moore, a former Littleton busi-
Jose Roberto Espinoza Vallejos, sports coach at Instituto Nicional de Madriz High School in Somoto, Nicaragua, checks out the Englewood High School shirt he was given along with about a half dozen baseball gloves Pirate players donated to the Nicaraguan team. Photos by Tom Munds nessman. “Our Nicaraguan representative arranged for us to get the equipment into the hands of players in a local high school in Somoto.” He said the team was only able to take about a half-dozen gloves on the trip because of the airline weight limits on baggage. He said another trip is planned in February, and plans are to try to gather donations of sports equipment the foundation can deliver to the Somoto school. On July 28, foundation team members delivered the equipment to Jose Roberto Espinoza Vallejos, the director of physical education at Instituto Nacional de Madriz, where about 4,000 seventh- through 12th-graders attend classes. Vallejos asked team members to go with him to the high school so players could see the new equipment. The professor donned an Englewood High School shirt as he gathered a group of his players together and told them about the gifts from a high school in Colorado. One player, through an interpreter, said he was amazed people in Colorado even knew about the school in Somoto. There weren’t enough gloves for the whole team but they passed them around so everyone could check them out. Through an interpreter, Vallejos said he and his players appreciate the equipment because the school receives no money for sports or physical-education equipment. “We have needs for equipment for all the sports we play,” Vallejos said through the interpreter. “Our uniforms are very old. We wanted to start a softball program but there wasn’t even money for softballs. There are many needs. For example, we don’t have bases for baseball and softball.” During a visit to the school, students could be seen trying to play soccer with a ball that had been patched with duct tape and basketball with a ball that wouldn’t stay inflated.
T.J. Harris, Englewood High School baseball coach, talks to his players about donating gloves they no longer use to a high school in Nicaragua that needs sports equipment. Players responded, and about half dozen gloves were turned over to the Casa Unida Foundation team traveling to northern Nicaragua to do a construction project in late July; foundation members delivered the gloves to the school.
About 4,000 seventh- through 12th-graders attend Instituto Nacional de Madriz High School in the northern Nicaraguan city of Somoto. The school receives little money for sports equipment and, when the Englewood High School baseball team heard of their need, they arranged for a group from Colorado traveling to Nicaragua to deliver a half dozen gloves to the school.

The children’s classic “Charlotte’s Web” also returns to launch another popular children’s theater season. There is expanded programming for Colorado Chamber Orchestra, a new morning coffee concert series with Jeffrey Siegel and a special one-night engagement, “The Mitzvah Project.” Theater subscriptions are still available at www. arvadacenter.org/on-stage/2015-2016-theater-season-subscriptions.

GoodBird Kitchen coming to Stapleton
GoodBird Kitchen will bring its awardwinning fried chicken and fixin’s and Post Brewing Company beer to Stapleton in the spring of 2016. Dave Query, chef/owner of the Big Red F Restaurant Group, has signed a lease on a space in the new Stanley Aviation Marketplace. GBK will be a smaller, more streamlined version of The Post Brewing Company in Lafayette. It will offer its famous fried and rotisserie bird, local farm fresh sides, homemade pies and award-winning Post beers. “We are trying to create a simple, easyto-use, value-driven chicken concept,” Query said. “We like cooking bird the same way we like cooking and working with fresh seafood at Jax. The biscuits, the awardwinning pies, the field-driven side dishes that we feature by the dozen each night. It’s all good. It’s all GoodBird Kitchen.” The Stanley Marketplace is a budding urban marketplace on the borders of Stapleton and Aurora. It was once the Stanley Aviation headquarters — where airplane ejector seats were engineered and manufactured — and when it reopens in 2016 it will be a community hub and gathering space with numerous like-minded businesses, a park, a beer hall and more.
CoBank new Colorado Open sponsor
On the heels of the completion of The Colorado Open Championships at Green Valley Ranch Golf Course, the The Colorado Open Golf Foundation has announced that CoBank will become the new
title sponsor of The Open Championships. CoBank, the largest financial institution headquartered in the state, succeeds HealthONE as the open’s primary sponsor under a five-year agreement beginning in 2016. “Over the past 50 years, the Colorado Open has built a reputation as one of the premier state opens in the nation,” said Eric Kenealy, board chairman of The Colorado Open Golf Foundation, which organizes the championships. “We deeply appreciate the strong support we’ve received from HealthONE, our title sponsor since 2004. And we’re delighted to be beginning a new chapter now in partnership with CoBank.” Founded in 1964, The Colorado Open Championships consist of three annual golf tournaments: The Colorado Open, The Colorado Women’s Open and The Colorado Senior Open. All three tournaments are now played at the Green Valley Ranch Golf Club in Denver. Over the years the open has hosted some of the greatest names in the history of golf, including Sam Snead, Billy Casper, Hale Irwin and Phil Mickelson.
