World War II memorial turns 15 Site unveiled in 2000 hosts Veterans Day rites
Arbitration with the family of slain student Claire Davis is wrapping up and reports will be issued in January, Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert said during the Nov. 12 school board meeting. “The family shares our goal of helping other school districts learn from our experience,” he told the board. Ewert said the district’s reports are being compiled by nationally recognized consultants on security and mental health, and should be ready to be presented to the LPS board on Jan. 7 and Jan. 21. The timing of the Davis family’s release is unknown at this time, he said, but the state’s School Safety and Youth in Crisis Committee is slated to review it on LPS continues on Page 7

WHAT’S INSIDE
Jack Woodman often becomes emotional as he addresses the Veterans Day observers who gather each year, for 15 years now, at Littleton’s World War II Memorial at Ketring Park. This year was no different. “The strength of our military is the spirit and skill of the men and women who wear the uniforms,” said Woodman, commander of the Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666. “We pray that they may return safely to serve you, lord God, and our country, in the days and years to come.” This year is a notable one for the memorial, having been officially unveiled in 2000. Mayor Phil Cernanec noted that Memorial continues on Page 7

Plans take shape for Mineral Station area Firm outlines process at community meeting

PRSRT - STD ECRWSS US POSTAGE PAID LITTLETON, CO PERMIT #70 EDDM POSTAL PATRON
Council of Governments, the city has hired Progressive Urban Management Associates to undertake a planning process for Mineral Station, the Regional Transportation District property, Aspen Grove and the vacant land southwest of Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue. The PUMA firm will ultimately make recommendations for how future development in the area should look. PUMA’s JJ Folsom outlined the process Nov. 11 for the handful of people who
attended a workshop hosted by the city and Transit Alliance, which is an organization started 17 years ago to educate people on transit issues after a failed bid to get voters to expand light rail in 1997. Co-founded by former Littleton Mayor Pat Cronenberger, the group’s efforts were far more successful in 2004, when voters approved FasTracks. Littleton got light rail in 2000, and Station continues on Page 7

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
JESSICA SMITH Single mom has walked rocky road My background I am a single mom raising two kids. Life has dealt me some heavy cards over the years. I grew up in Littleton, where I met a girl named Olita. We grew up together as best friends. But as we got older, the things we were taught did not set us sailing well. I lost my mother to a motorcycle accident when I was young, at the same time I had just met my biological father. I didn’t get raised by him, I ended up living with my aunt and uncle instead. I finished high school, and my best friend married. She had two kids, too. I went to college first, but that didn’t go well for me. I then met the father of
my children. We were only together for 11 years. I had started back to school before the separation, which made it difficult to finish. This put my education career on a different path. At that point, I did jobs that helped pay the bills, but jobs that weren’t for me. What are your hobbies and interests? I love to do indoor and outdoor things to keep my body busy. I used to love making cards and scrapbooking, going to the movies or hiking. What is your passion? My passion is to work with kids, whether it is in a school or home. I love working with kids. My theory is there are no bad kids. I believe we can help those who are walking a rocky path. My passion is helping children pursue their dreams. What are your hopes for the future? My future is to continue working with children and to remarry very soon. And to hope my children do well on their own, as well. The hope for my future is to find a good man who will overlook flaws in me and my kids and still love us. By Jennifer Smith.

Warm hearts, warm bodies Drop off gently worn or new coats at South Suburban Parks and Recreation facilities to help warm the hearts and bodies of those less fortunate. The district’s fourth annual winter coat drive, held in conjunction with 7NEWS/Dependable Cleaners’ Coats for Colorado program, runs throughout November. Donate a coat at any of the district’s indoor facilities, including Buck Recreation Center, 2004 W. Powers Ave., Littleton, and Goodson Recreation Center, 6315 S. University Blvd., Centennial. Coats for Colorado has distributed gently used and new coats to those in need since 1982. For more information, contact MarthaT@ssprd.org.
Procedure helps high-risk patients South Denver Cardiology Associates in Littleton launched a transcatheter aortic valve replacement clinic over the summer, making Dr. Lee MacDonald and Dr. Sean Enkiri among the few in the Denver area to successfully repair an aortic valve without open-heart surgery. Currently, TAVR is for patients who are too high-risk for surgery. The new Edwards transcatheter aortic valve is much like a stent in the heart artery, but is deployed in the aortic valves. Patients who have a TAVR procedure experience shorter hospital stays and recovery time compared to those who have openheart surgery, and are usually discharged within five days. For more information, visit www.southdenver.com.
Get out your Santa jammies Arapahoe Community College will host its annual “PJs with Santa” holiday event on Dec. 11 at 6 p.m. in The Summit Room. Enjoy an evening of holiday cheer with dinner, dessert and storytelling. Festivities will include fun and PJs with Santa, games for children, and a special appearance by Santa Claus himself. Admission is $3 for kids and $4 for adults. Purchase tickets in advance at the Student Life Office. For more information or to inquire about accommodations, contact student.activities@arapahoe.edu or 303-797-5668.
LUMC celebrates 125 years In honor of Littleton United Methodist Church’s 125th anniversary, the choirs of the church, organist Kathy Forsberg and special musical guests will lead in an inspirational hymn festival at 2 p.m. Nov. 22. Held at the church, 5894 S. Datura St., the concert will celebrate the many phases of the church’s first 125 years. Included with an array of favorite hymns will be a performance of “Our God We Sing and Celebrate,” a special hymn anthem that was commissioned to honor this special year in the life of the church. Free Admission. For more information, contact 303-794-6379, ext. 247, or davidkates@littletonumc.org.
Santa shop needs help; restaurant to raise funds Staff report Nov. 24 is the second night that Romano’s Italian Restaurant in Littleton will donate 20 percent of one’s meal to the Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop — but diners need to tell them. The last dinner/donation evening raised $200, which goes for new toys to fill in where there seems to be a gap. Also, volunteers are still needed to
distribute toys to children from Littleton, Englewood and Sheridan. Volunteers will work in advance and while open to set up, stock and restock a pop-up toy store that will operate Dec. 1 and 2. (Location can’t be divulged publicly — families who have qualified in advance through school, church of social services will know.) To volunteer or to donate, visit arapahoesantashop.org.

THE ROSTER
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com
“The Littleton Public Schools Board of Education consists of these five members: • Jack Reutzel, president
Robert Reichardt and Jim Stephens were sworn in as the newest members of the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education on Nov. 12, having won the Nov. 3 election. “Thank you, Jim and Robert, for stepping in and stepping up,” said outgoing member Mary Nichols. “We expect great things.” Reichardt and Stephens finished neck and neck, earning 36.04 percent and 36.36 percent of the vote, respectively. The third candidate, Richard Boorom, garnered 27.6 percent. Both of the new board members said they were honored to be chosen.
• Carrie Warren-Gully, vice president • Kelly Perez, treasurer • Robert Reichardt, secretary • Jim Stephens, assistant secretary
“I’m pleased my fellow candidates and I were able to give the voters a choice in this election,” said Stephens. “The conversation about important issues facing Littleton Public Schools is key regardless of the outcome of the election. … (We) need to transition
onto the board as quickly as possible. We have huge shoes to fill with terms ending for Mary Nichols and Lucie Stanish.” Nichols and Stanish, who had both served since 2007, left their last meeting in a flurry of tears and hugs. Jack Reutzel, board president, called them “transformational leaders and great friends.” “Thank you for the leadership you have brought to the table for us in some very difficult times,” Carrie Warren-Gully, vice president, agreed through tears. “Your leadership and heart and compassion brought so much to the team, and so much strength and stability.” Superintendent Brian Ewert, whom the board just hired away from Englewood Public Schools in April, also thanked them for their service. “I watched you for five years from Englewood leading with integrity,” he said. “Thank you for taking a chance on me.”
Nichols and Stanish both said it had been a tremendous honor to serve the community. “We do it as a labor of love,” said Stanish, offering some advice to the new members. “Take time to get to know each other. Listen to each other, and always play nicely together in the sandbox. The community expects it. Listen and be respectful. Never forget you’re representing all the families and community members in our district.” Five former board members, most of whom are still active with the district in one way or another, attended to welcome the new, and to escort the outgoing into what they call the “ex-family.” One of them, Sam Drury, has kept a watchful eye on the board since his exit in the 1980s. “I know it was much easier for us than it is now,” he said. “It’s gotten much more difficult. I wish you well.”

----------———————————— The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation also hosts fundraising events, such as Stomp community walks and an annual spring gala. In early November, the foundation organized a trip to Disneyland for 18 families affected by the disorder. “Our mission is to make a difference in the individual’s life, because it is such a tough journey and it can make the person feel so isolated,” Julie Hutchison said. The foundation provided Benjamin Wann with a SAMi when he was having repeated seizures. It’s been four years since Benjamin’s last seizure, Amber Wann said. He’s able to be a kid again: He’s picked up pack burro racing, a footrace led by a donkey. And he runs cross country at school. Community resources, such as the Chelsea Hutchison Foundation and the Epilepsy Foundation Colorado, are key to helping families understand and live with the disorder, those affected say. The Epilepsy Foundation Colorado takes more than 1,500 calls annually from people with uncontrolled seizures who need help, executive director Gail Pundsack wrote in an email. “Together, we need to raise public awareness and reduce stigma,” she added. “We need more programs and services for people living with epilepsy and we need significantly more research to end epilepsy.”
BUSINESS
Benjamin Wann was 9 years old when he went into status epilepticus, a constant state of seizing. He was taken to the hospital and prescribed Valium, a sedative drug, to reset his brain’s activity. “He could hardly pronounce Ben, the short version of his name,” said his mother, Amber Wann. “The next couple of months were very hard.” Benjamin, 14, was diagnosed with epilepsy Thanksgiving Day 2004 — he was 3. Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder that affects the brain’s neurological activity, causing repeated seizures. It is diagnosed by medical history and brain-imaging tests. — The types of seizures vary from People in the world grand mal — unconsciousness have epilepsy and convulsions — to absence seizures, brief lapses of con— sciousness.

In his younger years, he experienced complex parSource: epilepsy.com tial seizures that appeared as twitching or head nodding. Benjamin and his twin, Bonnie, are the youngest of four children. His parents, Brad and Amber, say the disorder is a large part of the family’s life. Benjamin’s seizures were unexpected. He would play with a puzzle and his head would slowly start to fall, or he would suddenly start twitching, said Amber. And sometimes he would fall asleep after a seizure because his brain was exhausted, she added. Benjamin’s outlook on his disorder remains positive. “It’s hard, but you get used to it,” he said. He limits stress by playing video games, reading and running cross country at school. For years, Amber fought for Benjamin to be on the least medication possible because of the way his body reacted, she said. “It’s not because I didn’t trust the doctors,” she said. “But the side effects of the medications were much more detrimental than the seizures.” The family went through a period when the recommended medication, Valium, gave Benjamin extreme behavioral swings, such as rage, and interfered with his memory. “It affects the entire family equally,” Amber Wann said, “because we all witness it.” In the midst of navigating her son’s disorder, Amber Wann reached out to Highlands Ranch resident Julie Hutchison, who started the Chelsea Hutchison Foundation after she lost her 16-year-old daughter in 2011 to epilepsy. “Chelsea was wise beyond her years,” Hutchison said. “To say it was shocking is a complete understatement.” A strobe light at Chelsea’s 11th birthday party caused her first seizure. Flashing or patterned lights can trigger seizures. She was diagnosed with epilepsy shortly after, a disorder that wasn’t new to the Hutchison family. Julie Hutchison’s mother had it also. Chelsea had three to four seizures a year, mostly the absence type in which she would fade into a blank stare. Doctors prescribed a cocktail of medication, her mother said. Seven of 10 people respond to anti-epileptic drugs, according to the Epilepsy Foundation. On a morning 4 ½ years ago, Chelsea’s father, Doug, went downstairs to wake her up for her dose of medication. Chelsea had died in her sleep from an unexpected seizure, what’s now known as SUDEP — sudden unexpected death from epilepsy. After their daughter’s death, Julie and Doug started the Chelsea Hutchison Foundation to help individuals with epilepsy. They’ve provided 319 monitors and 84 seizureresponse dog grants to families in 26 states, Julie Hutchison said. The primary types of monitors are Emfit, a mattress pad that detects sleeping behavior; SAMi, a sleep activity camera; and SmartMonitor, a watch that detects irregular movement. Each device serves as alarm system that triggers if someone experiences an unexpected seizure. And seizure-response dogs are trained to identify signs of a seizure and alert help, or even flip the person on his or her side.

LGBT group visits Lakewood during tour through Colorado By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Stories connect with people. They provide humanity and empathy in situations that would normally be easier for many to ignore. That’s why, during the Lakewood stop on One Colorado’s new statewide tour, executive director Dave Montez opened the evening with his story of coming out to his grandmother and the challenges he encountered along the way. “I come from a town in south Colorado that is very Catholic, very Latino and very conservative,” he said. “It was a very isolating, lonely experience living as a young, gay man. When I came out to my grandmother, I thought I’d lost my best friend.” Eventually, Montez’s grandmother came to accept him and, now, working with One Colorado, he hopes to share that message. “Beyond policy changes, we want to create a state where an LGBT person has that full-circle experience,” Montez said. “If they were rejected by people they love, we want that reconciliation. We’d like people to never be rejected in the first place.” Collecting the stories of members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community is just part of the purpose behind One Colorado’s “Freedom in Every Corner Tour,” which is traveling the state to celebrate victories for equal
‘It was a very isolating, lonely experience living as a young, gay man. When I came out to my grandmother, I thought I’d lost my best friend.’ Dave Montez, Executive director of One Colorado rights and advocate for the work yet to be completed. The tour stopped at the Edge Theater in Lakewood on Oct. 27 to provide an update on LGBT issues on legislative and personal levels. “We need to pause a moment to celebrate the marriage victories — we went from Amendment 2 20 years ago to marriage equality,” Montez said to an audience of about a dozen people. “That’s outlaws to in-laws in two decades.” Chris Kennedy, the Democratic candidate for state House District 23, helped connect One Colorado with Bill Marino, of 40 West Arts, and the Edge Theater for the event, because of his lifelong support for equal rights. “It’s remarkable how quickly things have changed,” Kennedy said, “but it’s still so important that we protect the prog-
ress.” Although the marriage battle appears to be over, Montez noted that there remains a bevy of issues to be addressed, particularly in the area of transgender rights and safety. Transgender people, he said, face higher rates of depression and suicide, and encounter discrimination almost everywhere they go. “For most transgender people,” Montez said, “their quality of life is either getting worse or staying the same.” A policy that One Colorado hopes to enact is the Birth Certificate Modernization Act, which would make it easier for people to ensure the sex field on their documents, from birth certificates to driver’s licenses, reflects who they are. A person’s Social Security number and driver’s license number wouldn’t change as a part of this process.
Other issues on the agenda for the organization include enacting stricter anti-bullying policies and establishing Gay-Straight Alliances (GSA) at schools, so students have a place where they feel safe and have health care access. “According to data we’re seeing, around 50 percent of LGBT people haven’t come out to their doctors for fear of being rejected,” Montez said. “Many LGBT youth have never had access to health care, and need to know how to get what they need.” Montez urged the LGBT community and its allies to keep watch to make sure progress is not rolled back, warning about religious freedom restoration acts, which have been used in such places as Indiana and Arizona to limit rights. “The idea behind these acts was good, but they’ve gone from being a shield to a sword,” he said. “The implications of these laws open a can of worms and let people use religion to pick and choose which laws to follow.” Longtime partners Lauren Fortmiller and Pam Thiele were in attendance to get an update on the work ahead for the organization. “We’ve been fighting for our rights for 40 years,” Fortmiller said. “It’s important to us we show that not all people older than 60 years old are rigidly set in their ways.” “They hit on a lot of great ideas,” Thiele added. “It takes a lot of courage to make these changes for people.”

“I was sent to repair a tailhook assembly on a fighter plane, without parachute or life vest or jacket, because of close quarters,” recalled Achziger. “While I was inside the plane, orders were given to launch all aircraft regardless of needed repairs, and the plane I was repairing was put on the eleva-
tor, then placed on the aircraft launching catapult. Fortunately, my machinist mate, first class, opened the back hatch for me to get out; as soon as we were in the clear, the plane took off.” Stiffler served with the Army Nurse Corps starting in 1942, and married a fellow
first lieutenant, Charles Kelley, in January 1944. They were both sent to England that March. Sadly, Kelley was killed in combat that August. “When the war ended, we all waited to go home,” she wrote. “Arrived in San Diego November 1945. Discharged in December 1945. A hell of a long time.” Cernanec spoke of moments that have touched him during the last year, like visiting with wounded warriors at an airport and visiting Australia’s Shrine of Remembrance. It contains the marble Stone of Remembrance, which is inscribed, “Greater love hath no man.” Once a year, on Nov. 11 at 11 a.m., a ray of sunlight shines through an aperture in the roof to light up the word “Love” in the inscription. He also toured Buckley Air Force Base, where, he says, it is abundantly apparent that the nature of war has changed. “Battles and wars, the pictures of these have been changing over time,” he said. “Hostilities don’t look as clear as they once did. They often, now, happen in the shadows.”
it could about the circumstances surrounding the death of their daughter, Claire. An Arapahoe High School student, she was mortally shot by her classmate Karl Pierson on Dec. 13, 2013. He took his own life moments later. “We have already implemented changes in the district as a result of the tragedy, and we continue to want to learn how the district can make meaningful and thoughtful improvements for the benefit of all students,” Jack Reutzel, board president, said at the time.
In a statement, Michael Davis, Claire’s father, said the family appreciated the district’s willingness to partner with them. “We’ve developed a process that meets our shared goal of making schools safer,” he said. “Without the full picture, no one can adequately address the underlying problems that could lead to yet another tragedy like this.” As part of the agreement, the Davises agreed not to sue the district and waived their right to seek damages — meaning no financial settlement.
“This isn’t about the money. It never has been for the Davises,” their attorney, Michael Rooche, said in April. “The Davises are not interested in assigning blame.” The district agreed not to invoke governmental immunity, and has waived some federal protections of Pierson’s records. While the agreement recommends the two parties jointly issue a public report, it allows either party to do so on its own 45 days after the end of the process. All information released during the discovery process will be available to the public.
Last year, the Urban Land Institute took a look at the possibilities at the behest of city officials. It envisions a coordinated effort among RTD, the city, Aspen Grove and the owners of the 111-acre vacant site, which is currently privately owned by the Ensor family but for sale. The Urban Land Institute suggests the area can support more small retailers and a grocery, and could also help fill a growing demand for multifamily housing.
Tom O’Brien, a Littleton resident who attended the workshop, brought up the elephant in the room: Walmart. Councilmember Debbie Brinkman created a stir in the weeks before the November election by confirming that a developer interested in Ensor is also possibly interested in Walmart. “A lot of people are afraid there’s going to be a Walmart there, and a lot of us don’t want that,” he said.
Folsom said that he’ll work with landowners, developers and all stakeholders as he goes through the planning process, which might, in itself, head off potentially controversial projects. “We want to be in front of that development,” he said. “This process is going to help that property become more valuable, because it will have a plan that’s already approved.”

at the time, there was not even a national memorial honoring World War II soldiers — the one in Washington, D.C., didn’t open until 2004. But in 1996, a group of World War II vets in Littleton began working to get the $360,000 project built. Part of that effort was selling the inscribed bricks that now lie within the memorial, originally 1,143 them honoring local heroes: Ed Achziger, Tom Heaton (chairman), Malcolm Komitor, Ray Martinez, Irv Obermeyer, Julie and Alan Stewart and Sally Stiffler. “They were a group of eight who stuck together through thick and thin and embraced the arduous task,” said Cernanec. “Time has passed, and so have the six men and two women who worked so tirelessly.” All of them offered a brief look into their military histories for inclusion on the city’s website.

Bill bans moves of detainees, but issue may not be settled Guantanamo still hot topic despite congressional action
By Deb Riechmann Associated Press Congress sent President Barack Obama a $607 billion defense policy bill on Nov. 10 that bans moving Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States — a transfer that Obama has been trying to do since he was sworn in as president. The Senate’s 91-3 vote gave final legislative approval to the measure. The House overwhelmingly passed it the week before, 370-58. Obama does not like the Guantanamo provisions, but White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama would sign the bill. However, the debate over whether Obama has the power to move Guantanamo detainees to the United States — and
possibly to Colorado — is not settled. “The president believes closing that prison is a national security priority. The president is not the only person that shares that view,” Earnest said, citing former secretaries of state who served in both Republican and Democratic administrations. Earnest said that Obama’s decision to sign the bill — because it includes provisions that are important to running and protecting the country — does not change his position about wanting to close the prison. Obama vetoed an earlier version of the defense policy bill over a dispute, later resolved, about whether defense spending increases should be accompanied by boosts in domestic programs. Among other things, the bill would: • Provide a 1.3 percent pay increase to service members and a new retirement option for troops. • Authorize lethal assistance to Ukraine

Florida, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Ted Cruz of Texas did not vote. The legislation has become a lightning rod for debate over whether the president needs congressional approval to move some of the remaining 112 detainees from the U.S. detention center in Cuba to the United States, or if he could do it with an executive order. Congress has repeatedly thwarted Obama’s effort to fulfill a 2008 campaign promise and close the military prison. A Pentagon report expected as early as this week identifies prisons in Colorado, Kansas and South Carolina where Guantanamo detainees could possibly be housed so the military prison in Cuba could be shut down. That has raised the ire of lawmakers, especially those from the three states. White House press secretary Josh Earnest hinted earlier this month that the

We all know that the president decided to veto the version of this bill we passed last month,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky. “We look forward to the president signing the bipartisan bill — along with its restrictions against bringing terrorists into the United States — into law,” he said. Three senators — Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, both Democrats from Oregon, and Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont — voted against the defense bill. GOP Sens.

Colorado sheriffs, including Arapahoe’s, oppose Guantanamo transfers Letter argues that action could put state in danger
By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press Forty sheriffs in Colorado, including Arapahoe County Sheriff David Walcher, wrote to the White House to oppose any plan to move detainees from the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to

president might use his executive authority to close the prison. On Nov. 9, Earnest said the White House is focused on working with Congress to shut down Guantanamo, but he left the door open on the
prisons in the state. The sheriffs argued in the letter sent Nov. 9 that Colorado would be in danger if the Pentagon sends Guantanamo detainees to either of two prisons under consideration in the central part of the state. Although the prisons are capable of securing the detainees, the action would attract “sympathizers who would mount an attack ... or commit other acts of terror,” the lawmen wrote. “We believe it would be dangerously naive not to recognize that a civilian
prison with an untold number of enemy combatant inmates, located in our state, would provide a very tempting target for anyone wishing to either free these detainees or simply wishing to make a political statement,” the sheriffs wrote. The letter was signed by the majority of Colorado’s 64 sheriffs, including Fremont County Sheriff James Beicker. His county includes the two facilities under consideration, Colorado State Penitentiary II and the Federal Correctional Complex, known as Supermax.
Supermax already houses some of the country’s most dangerous criminals, including Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Terrorists such as Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person convicted in civilian court of the Sept. 11 attacks, and Ramzi Yousef, mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, also reside there. The Pentagon also is looking at sites in Kansas and South Carolina for its proposal to move some Guantanamo detainees.
president taking executive action. “I’m not aware of any ongoing effort to devise a strategy using only the president’s executive authority to accomplish this goal,” Earnest said. “But I certainly wouldn’t, as I mentioned (previously), take that option off the table.” The facilities reviewed by a Pentagon assessment team were the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks and Midwest Joint Regional
Corrections Facility at Leavenworth, Kansas; the Consolidated Naval Brig, Charleston, South Carolina; the Federal Correctional Complex, which includes the medium, maximum and “Supermax” facilities in Florence, Colorado; and the Colorado State Penitentiary II in Canon City, Colorado, also known as the Centennial Correctional Facility. The Senate also passed, 93-0, legisla-
tion that provides money to the Defense Department for military construction, military family housing, base closures and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Like the defense bill, the measure, which was headed to the president, also prohibits the administration from renovating, expanding or constructing facilities in the United States to house detainees from Guantanamo Bay.

Gratitude can prevail in fight against entitlement Have I ever felt entitled? You bet I have. Have I ever felt like I deserved more than I had, or better than I was getting? Absolutely. Have I ever come across as arrogant and entitled? Sadly, at times, yes. Thankfully, much of that has been in my past; however, there are moments, especially when traveling for business and when I do not get the upgrade to first class or I am forced to wait on a very long security line because they closed the TSA-Pre line down, that I can feel myself slipping back toward a miserable sense of self-entitlement. The good news is that I have learned and been blessed with the ability to quickly switch gears and move from entitlement to gratitude — after a few mumblings and grumblings, of course. But when I can get my head around being truly grateful for even having a seat on the plane when so many others are on standby, my sense of gratitude overpowers my feeling of resentment or entitlement. And when I am standing in a long security line along with hundreds of other folks traveling that same day, I could mumble and grumble again, or I can give thanks for the extra levels of security and think that although it seems simple and mundane to the frequent flier, the job of the TSA is to do their very best in keeping us safe. Yes, I know, watching the events as they unfold can be quite frustrating; however, next time you feel frustrated and entitled, give thanks for the effort being made on your behalf to keep you safe.
How many other areas of our lives and in how many situations that we face do we wrestle with feelings of resentment, frustration, and entitlement? I’ll bet there are probably more than we care to admit at times. Well, what would happen if we looked at Michael Norton everything around us, everyone around us, WINNING and at the beauty that WORDS surrounds us here each and every day and gave thanks for it all? Not just thanks, but really let true gratitude and appreciation flow in us and through us, how would that feel? You know, one of the things I hear and see a lot is people who just say a quick “thanks” instead of a meaningful “thank you.” I am sure you have seen it too, people who don’t look up at their server in a restaurant and just mumble “thanks.” Or even in our own homes, we may say a quick “thanks” and not really show just how appreciative we are for an act of kindness or gift. The act of saying “thanks” becomes so routine or cliché, almost like we have to say it and not really want to say it, that we have somehow lost the essence of what true gratitude and appreciation are and where they come from. I met a woman recently who is somewhat
new to Colorado. Her story was quite compelling. She was in a very bad spot financially for a while and is now just getting back on her feet. She could have easily been bitter or resentful for all she had lost — she had a lot and lost a lot. But all I saw in her and heard from her was this enormous sense of gratitude and thankfulness for where she is right at this moment. Her spirit of appreciation left me completely inspired. Thanksgiving is at hand: Will you say a simple “thanks,” or will you look around you and say a heartfelt “thank you” to those people who have loved and supported you, to your employer or employees who have provided you with opportunity, to anyone in the military who fights for our protection and freedom, and to God who has blessed us all with this amazing place we live called Colorado? I would like to say “thank you” to each and every one of you who have blessed me with your emails, calls, letters, and times we have spent together talking about and even debating my columns for the past seven years. I appreciate you all so very much. And if you would like to discuss this column, you can share your thoughts at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we remember to give up entitlement for gratitude and appreciation, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Highlands Ranch, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation and the CEO/founder of www. candogo.com.
Thankfully, holiday crowd is just imaginary gathering A shameful litterer, upon whom I put a curse (detailed later), left a container of vanilla Greek yogurt about six feet from a trash can. A crow had it and Falcon Park in Highlands Ranch to himself. And then we showed up. The crow went to the top of a light fixture and crowed, perhaps thinking that one of us was going to make off with his yogurt. I was thankful that we had the park to ourselves. Which led me to Thanksgiving, which is here. Smitty and I, like millions of others, will have Thanksgiving to ourselves. We like it like that. I have had the other kind. There have been some good ones, and there have been some Thanksgivings when the food was late, and the alcohol was early. The best of them took a lot of effort. One way or another, there was hubbub and ado. I can do without ado. I have no family here, and very little fam-
ily anywhere. My best friends are far away. There is no one else I would be willing to spend the day with, other than some homeless men and women at the church. They get in line Craig Marshall Smith early. QUIET They are good reminders that I DESPERATION have it good. So there we were with the crowing crow, giving thanks for a quiet and beautiful and empty park, and I started to think about Norman Rockwell and his well-known painting of a hubbub Thanksgiving. I thought about sending out invitations. I would have a few people over on Nov. 26, feed them, and send them home.

‘Five ways from Sunday’ can help reach better day Investing has become a lot more complicated than in my grandmother’s time. One of her favorite sayings was “five ways from Sunday.” Building wealth is a daunting task any day of the week, especially now with zero interest rates and low stock returns. Our economy is barely growing each year at 2 percent and the outlook for investment returns has declined. But yet we know the importance of making our money work for us to meet our future needs and wants. Before you can invest, you must have a strategy or you won’t stay on course. However, life often gets in the way of planning. We all know we should spend less than we make, pay ourselves first by saving before guilty pleasures, but life happens. One day you wake up and wonder where the last 10 or 20 years went. Well, it is not too late to take charge of your financial welfare. Arm yourself with good information and make yourself accountable for those times you sabotage your own plan. 1. The first step in taking charge is to identify your goal. Maybe you want a million dollars or maybe you just want to get off your parents’ couch. Whatever it is, make sure it is
real and visible every day. Then every choice you make should be based on whether it moves you closer to or further away from your goal. 2. Next, get your financial house in order. No one likes to clean house but organization is key to Patricia Kummer tracking finances. Set up a plan on a budget FINANCIAL program, STRATEGIES software Excel or a columnar pad. The idea here is it must be written or you could lose focus. Pay yourself first by setting aside funds you need to save such as your emergency reserves, 401(k) plan or college fund. Then list expenses that are mandatory such as food, shelter, transportation and health. Next classify the flexible expenses such as dining out, travel, sports and hobbies. If there is no money left, see where you can cut. If there is money left over,
add to your savings. 3. Now you are ready to sit down with a trusted advisor. This will put another pair of eyes on your work and help create solutions to identify, fund and meet your different goals. A good advisor will help you realize your goals, whatever they are, rather than judge or criticize you. At the same time you must be open and respect their ideas as they are there to help you. Make sure they are looking at the whole picture, such as taxes, estate planning and risks. 4. Once you have your time frames and financial goals identified, it is time to build a portfolio to put your hard-earned dollars to work. Make certain the investment choices line up with the time frame you have for each goal. For example, an investment in emerging markets should be your longest time frame, not for your next car purchase. Aggressive investments may take 10 years or more to give you the optimum benefit. This ability to identify different buckets of money allows you to build diversification through diverse investments for different needs. 5. Now that you have everything in place, Kummer continues on Page 11

There’s a new castle coming to town Little Sunshine’s Playhouse day care to have fairy-tale feel By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The big building going up at Mineral Avenue and Platte Canyon Road should be filled with small children by springtime, when Chelsea Dizon hopes her new Little Sunshine’s Playhouse will be open. In addition to being mom to two little girls, Mehana and Mahea, Dizon has been an elementary school teacher for the last five years. She has a bachelor’s degree in journalism, with a credential in elementary education, from the University of Colorado at Boulder. That’s where she met her husband, Jordon. They were both athletes, she on the track team and he a standout football player. He went on to play for the Detroit Lions in 2008, but an injury sidelined him in 2010. The couple moved to his hometown, the Hawaiian island of Kaua’i, where he worked as a firefighter. The couple knew they wanted to return to Colorado, however, and they moved to the Roxborough area a year ago when Jordon Dizon took a job as a scout for the Broncos. But even then, Chelsea Dizon knew she wanted to open a Little Sunshine’s Playhouse in Littleton. “Littleton has a really great market,” she said. “It’s family oriented, and it has great schools. It was a great area to put something new, and it seems like it’s going to be a really good fit.” She says she’s already at 35 percent of her 118-child capacity. The center will take babies as young as six weeks old, and keep them until they’re ready for kindergarten. “When I was teaching, I saw the difference a great pre-K experience makes in preparedness, making sure they’re ready for school,” said Dizon. “They’re more
When complete, the center will have a distinct fairy-tale feel. Courtesy rendering confident, excited and passionate about learning.” This will actually be the second LSP location in Colorado, with the first in Colorado Springs. The franchise adheres to a curriculum inspired by Reggio Emilia, a system that sees children as active participants in the own learning. “As a mom, I’m really excited to be opening this type of product,” said Dizon. “I know it’s hard to find a place to be excited about, and feel safe and secure about.” The building, which will resemble a castle when it’s done, is on commercial property that was part of the deal when, in 2013, Littleton City Council approved the apartment complex immediately to the east. There is also a Dunkin’ Donuts, Supercuts, Subway and a liquor store in the retail plot.

Storied B-17 finally sees ‘action’ Indie filmmaker casts vintage warbird in meant-to-be movie debut
By Deborah Grigsby Smith Centennial Airport While a majority of B-17s made their way to Europe during World War II, one hit the U.S. Army Air Corps inventory too late to ever see military action. However, thanks to a compelling love story and a tenacious Colorado filmmaker, the Aluminum Overcast, a 1945 Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, will finally fulfill its destined role of strategic bomber over Nazi-occupied Europe, albeit some 70 years late — and as what some might call the ultimate movie “prop.” FilmIt Productions founder and executive producer Darla Rae stumbled on to the extraordinary connection in late October when the Experimental Aircraft Association’s 34,000-pound beauty made its annual stop at Centennial Airport. Rae, who was introduced to the compelling story of John Tschirhart, a former B-17 bombardier forced to leave his love in France when Germany entered Paris in 1940, desperately needed a vintage bomber as a platform for her upcoming indie flick, “The French American.” She hoped for something as historically accurate as possible, even if it didn’t fly. “There are of ways to use lighting to create the illusion of flight,” explained Rae, a self-confessed stickler for details, “even if the plane is static — I wasn’t really worried about that. It was just finding something we could use — not really a lot of options out there for small budget filmmakers.” Rae is right. According to the EAA website, fewer than 100 B-17 airframes exist and less than 15 are airworthy, still able take to the air. So she knew finding a rare WWII bomber locally would be tough. One that was still flying, even tougher. “But one of our cast members, Greg

Kyle, mentioned the Aluminum Overcast was coming to Centennial Airport as part of a dedication ceremony for the new Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum,” Rae said. “I couldn’t believe it. It was all coming together.” The opportunity had presented itself.
Rae planned to seize it. Reached out to EAA, the Wisconsinbased organization that owns and operates the Aluminum Overcast, she pleaded her case. “I’ve always said, if you don’t ask, the answer is always no,” she said. In this case, the answer was a very welcome yes. Olivia Rasmus, EAA’s air tours program coordinator, helped Rae get actors, film crews and equipment aboard the plane, launching more than just the platform for Rae’s film, but the beloved bomber’s film debut, as well. “To my knowledge, this (“The French American”) will be the first film the Aluminum Overcast has appeared in,” Rasmus said in an email.
“For me, there’s really a lot of value in fresh faces,” said Rae, whose cast is made up almost entirely of newcomers. “Using up-and-coming actors in this particular film really seemed to help illustrate the vulnerability that existed in life during the war. Big name actors often distract viewers from the storyline, simply because they’re who they are — and people remember them from previous films.” Now in preproduction, “The French American” is Rae’s seventh film, and perhaps her most ambitious. Her goal is to have the independent film ready for a Veterans Day 2016 showing in Texas, where Tschirhart, now 95, resides. Rae’s additional film credits include “The Goal,” “Dandy Kids” and “Spirit of Love.” She prides herself on writing, directing and producing quality, familycentric films that inspire, educate and celebrate the human condition.

DID YOU KNOW? According to 2012 data from Pew Research Center, 89 percent of adults said they would be sharing a Thanksgiving meal with family members. Among those, 62 percent said 10 or more relatives would be at that Thanksgiving meal.
For many, Thanksgiving isn’t about turkey and pumpkin pie By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Not every Thanksgiving dinner is a Norman Rockwell scene with family gathered around a table laden with an enormous turkey. Nor does it always involve watching football games or finishing the meal with pumpkin pie. For some, Thanksgiving is a blend of old and new — tradition, personal preference and, sometimes, simply where you happen to be. For Castle Rock teacher Kelly Hass, turkey isn’t on the menu. The vegan of four years opts for side dishes she prepares herself with vegan butter. At Littleton Adventist Hospital, doctors, nurses and staff care for and watch over the sick while loved ones have dinner back home. For them, their hospital family and a turkey dinner from the cafeteria create a meaningful gathering just the same. At the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, those on duty share in a potluck dinner. And at Parker’s French bakery, La Baguette de Normandy, chef Michael DuPont kneads and rolls and bakes pastries, breads and desserts for dinner tables around the area. Originally from France, he has made a tradition of celebrating the American holiday with other local French chefs. Personal twists Since she was a little girl, Hass, 29, has spent Thanksgiving at her family’s cabin in Flagstaff, Arizona. She grew up eating turkey, but now prefers a holiday meal sans bird. She is vegan, which means she does not consume animal products of any kind. This includes eggs, dairy and other substances derived from animals. “I’m kind of a nontraditional vegan. I try
not to press my veganism on other people,” Hass said. “So, when I went vegan four years ago, I didn’t try to change my parents’ tradition at all. But I did start manipulating the sides so that there was at least a little bit of mashed potatoes made with vegan butter instead of real butter and cream.” For vegans, the only real substitute for a turkey is the tofusculpted Tofurky, Hass said, but she is happy to pass on that. “I don’t do anything in place of the turkey. Your option is something like that, and that kind of processed stuff I don’t really like anyway.” While she may be the family vegan — even her husband occasionally eats meat — Hass hasn’t found herself at the end of too many good-natured jokes. “If they do,” Hass said, “it’s playfully.” When turkey isn’t the first choice Chef Mick (Michaelangelo) Rosacci owns and operates Tony’s Market and Tony Rosacci Catering. Tony’s has locations in Castle Rock, Littleton, Centennial and Denver. Because the traditional feast is so popular, Tony’s alters its display cases for Thanksgiving like no other holiday. “We need to make room for the 1,000 gallons of our house turkey gravy,” Rosacci said. “Sales soared a couple years ago when we started making it without gluten ingredients.” According to Rosacci, who has been in the business since 1978, many people don’t like turkey. Common replacements he has seen include prime rib, tenderloin roast, salmon, lobster, shrimp, crab, leg or rack of lamb and pork roasts. Even in his family, turkey isn’t the first choice for Thanksgiving. “Mom was not a turkey lover. She grew up on a turkey ranch, but she would always make us turkey for Thanksgiving — but only on Thanksgiving,” Rosacci said. “Other holidays were usually all about lasagna. It has always been our family’s most special dish — and it’s a lot of trouble, so we’d only have it once or twice a year.” A French-style feast Michael DuPont first experienced Thanksgiving when he came to America from France in 2006. At his bakery, Parker’s La Baguette de Normandy, the first year was a trial by fire as he attempted to please American palates. “I decided I needed to embrace the American culture. So now, we do Thanksgiving pies and things like that, but I do it the French way,” DuPont said. “I bring in a little bit of flavor from where I’m from. I’m from Normandy — we use butter and cream and all of that stuff. I make it beautiful. People come in and get something that is their tradition, but fancier.” In the lead-up to holidays he is so busy that he joked he “sleeps in a cot in the back.” Tradition continues on Page 17

Andrew, Jamie Wyeth in museum’s spotlight Denver exhibit looks at world of father, son
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com After four years of visiting various Pennsylvania and Maine painting studios owned and used by Andrew and Jamie Wyeth, Timothy Standring, Denver Art Museum’s Gates Foundation curator of painting and sculpture, has overseen the opening of “Wyeth: Andrew and Jamie in the Studio,” which runs through Feb. 7, 2016, at the museum. It’s the first major exhibit to look at the process and products of both, and involves Jamie Wyeth’s input about his own practices and those of his late father, as seen on numerous studio visits. The exhibit contains more than 100 works by both artists, in a variety of media: pen and ink, charcoal, dry brush, watercolor, tempera, oil and mixed media. When it leaves Denver, it will travel to Museo Thyssen-Bomemisza in Madrid, Spain. “They extended, and we accepted, the invitation to take part in their Wyethian tea party,” writes Standring as he concludes, in the catalog text, his account of trips to the Brandywine Valley in Pennsylvania and to locations in coastal Maine where the two have worked for their lifetimes, reflecting the pastoral valley and the rocky coast — and the people, plants, animals and structures that inhabit each. “They are like migrating birds between Pennsylvania and Maine,” Standring said in remarks at the Nov. 4 press preview — which was attended by Jamie Wyeth, dressed in knickers and a casual jacket. Jamie talked about his work and his family, including the painting of a dog called “Kleberg,” widely used for publicity. When the Labrador was a puppy, it got into Jamie’s paints and made a mess — and the artist painted a ring around his eye, which pleased and amused Jamie so much that he continued to renew it with mustache dye for the following eight years. He also talked about his family, including his grandfather, the famed illustrator N.C. Wyeth. Both Andrew and Jamie were homeschooled, including formal art training so thorough that Jamie painted his first commissioned portrait in his teens. Despite similarities in rural Pennsylvania upbringing and studio practice, the work is “strikingly different,” Standring writes. Both maintained assorted studios that inspire Standring’s label of “Messy Painting and Fleeting Moments” for his first section, dated in July 2011.

“Kleberg” by Jamie Wyeth, 1984, oil on canvas, is an image widely seen around town now promoting the Wyeth exhibit at the Denver Art Museum; it depicts a beloved Labrador who for years wore a ring painted in mustache dye around his eye. Courtesy photos fingered peninsulas and archipelagoes,” are all depicted in a dazzling array of works. (Allow some time to read about them and watch the video of Jamie painting his large “Inferno” at breakneck speed with brushes, fingers, Q-tips, etc.) “The collection reflects 10 decades of continued overlapping journeys” and is about “empathy, feelings and sharing feelings,” Standring said. The show’s wall text reflects strong ties between father and son and the show includes their expert portraits of each other, starting with one by Andrew of a charming small Jamie in his favorite raccoon-skin hat, “Faraway.” Each is quoted about portraiture. Jamie: “When I work on a portrait, it’s really osmosis. I try to become the person I’m painting.” Andrew: “It was partly painted before I ever painted it. That man is partly me.” Jamie had a period that he spent with painter Andy Warhol, at his New York “Factory,” with resulting portraits of Warhol and a diorama Jamie built of the “Factory

Subsequent sections of catalog text are labeled “Oct. 26, Tenants Harbor Maine,” “Oct. 31, Rockliff Island, Maine — Wyeth Halloween Party” and finally, “April 1, 2015,” when Standring concluded the account of his journey with the Wyeths — the most insightful bit of catalog text I have ever read. (The catalog is available in the museum’s gift shop.)

Denver isn’t tops for pretension, but it’s trying Cafe Valet, a St. Louis-based coffee service company for hotel rooms, has deemed Denver the fourth most pretentious city in the U.S. Is it our obsession with outdoor activities? Pilates? Yoga pants? Microbrews? What? The three cities that are allegedly more pretentious? San Francisco ranks No. 1 followed by San Jose and San Diego. After Denver, the rest of the top 10 list includes Portland, Austin, Seattle, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New Orleans. Here’s what the coffee company said in its online blog: “Noting an increase in macchiato swirls, poetry readings, Moleskines and animal acupuncturists, Café Valet has cited San Francisco as America’s Most Pretentious City in their first Pretension Index, a quantitative analysis of pretension levels in America. “Developed by a team of data scientists, the Pretension Index examines where these modern day latte art lovers are most concentrated, mining data from a variety of sources including the U.S. Census Bureau, Facebook, local business data and more in the 50 most populous U.S. metro areas. “San Francisco earned a Pretension Index score of 85 out of a potential 100, besting San Jose (64), San Diego (59), Denver (56) and Portland (56). ‘As the standardbearers for the ‘Regular Joe,’ we fear for San Francisco’s future,’ said Andrew Barnett, who led the analysis for Café Valet. ‘The notion that people are paying $100 for civet
coffee to drink while wearing a woolen cap in the summertime is a problematic trend.’” Cafe Valet says on its website that it analyzed “the top 50 U.S. metro areas, each with populations of 1 million or more. The PretenPenny Parker sion Index was MILE HIGH calculated based upon a combination LIFE of metrics from three categories.” For the rest of the story, pull on your yoga pants and go to www.cafevalet.com/blog/san-franciscocited-as-most-pretentious-american-city/.

Invisible ‘Harvey’ is worth seeing Event features reception to honor former pastor
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com In October 1981, the always-active arts-minded members of Littleton United Methodist Church staged a performance of Denver playwright Mary Chase’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Harvey.” The Rev. Ronald Hamilton, then pastor of the church, performed as the charming Elwood P. Dowd, who was always accompanied by a 6-foot-3 white rabbit named Harvey. The problem was no one else could see or hear Harvey when he accompanied Elwood to his favorite bar or to parties, no matter how politely introductions were made.
Tradition Continued from Page 14
People come to the bakery for desserts and breads, which he said he needs at least three days’ notice to prepare in time for a holiday. He also appreciates that businesses close on Thanksgiving, a tradition that is not common for holidays in France. “In France, I would stay open on Christmas Day because people wanted fresh bread,” DuPont said. “Here, they say, ‘Oh, it’s OK, we’ll come the night before and then heat it up in the oven.’ ”
IF YOU GO Littleton United Methodist Church is at 5894 S. Datura St., Littleton. The reader’s theater presentation of “Harvey” will be at 2 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall, followed by a reception for the Rev. Ronald Hamilton. Free.
LUMC’s Encore Players will present a reading of “Harvey,” directed by Annawyn Shamas, the original director, at 2 p.m. on Nov. 28 in Grant Fellowship Hall at LUMC. Two former cast members will perform: Norma Austerman as Elwood’s sister Veta Louise, and Dean Skiver as psychiatrist Dr. Chumley, owner of Chumley’s Rest Sanitarium. Other cast members include Renee Posey, Lisa Hendry, Vi Nicholson, In America, DuPont spends the holidays at home with his family — he has two sons — and friends. “It’s a group of French people — most of us are chefs,” DuPont said. “Usually, we keep the turkey but we use it other ways. The French way — like filling it with raisins and cognac. Everyone brings stuff that is typical from where they are from.” Holiday on the job For many first responders and hospital workers, Thanksgiving is spent on the clock. At Littleton Adventist Hospital, a traditional dinner is prepared for doctors, nurses, staff and patients in the cafeteria. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office hosts

Vince Guerrie, Gary Troutman, Donna Smith, Bob Stansbury and Richard Hendry (also a former LUMC pastor). Many readers will remember the 1950 Jimmy Stewart film made from Chase’s play. The play was first published in 1944 and won the 1945 Pulitzer in a war-weary world that wanted to laugh (it ran for 4½ years on Broadway). Chase (1906-1981) cowrote the screenplay, based on Celtic legends about pookas — spirits only certain people could see. The former newspaper reporter was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Denver for her work, which included a number of other plays. The story revolves around Veta May’s attempt to commit Elwood to the sanitarium because he persists in including Harvey in his life, although she can’t see the rabbit and is embarrassed to see Elwood introducing Harvey to her friends at parties.
Confusion reigns in this finely crafted comedy, which Shamas says was written to bring pleasure to soldiers who would be returning at the end of World War II. Hamilton is retired and now lives in Sun City, Arizona. He has long been active in theater and played the part of Elwood P. Dowd numerous times. He has also given performances as Clarence Darrow in “Darrow for the Defense,” as a fundraiser for the Colorado Mesa University drama department and elsewhere. He produced a children’s television program, based on Bible stories, while in Grand Junction as well. He is a writer, poet and frequent volunteer after a 35-year career as a pastor. In Sun City, he coordinated pastoral and chaplain services for two hospitals and then retired a second time. There will be a reception following the reading honoring Hamilton. The performance is free.

in-law’s hot chocolate recipe that has cloves and cinnamon sticks and serve it with Panettone.” Most of her customers order the cookies because they want something different on their dessert table or to bring something new to a Thanksgiving event. “Of course, cookies are nothing new in the dessert world, but when most people think of Thanksgiving desserts, pies are usually what comes to mind,” she said. Also, she said, “the fact that my cookies are a South American treat — they have different ingredients like dulce de leche and they are rolled in different toppings like coconut flakes or powdered sugar — automatically makes them a nontraditional Thanksgiving item.”
A Peruvian dessert Melissa Casaretto, owner of Sweet Alfas in Parker, finishes her Thanksgiving meal with sweet cookies instead of pie. “We have always baked our alfajores and other Peruvian desserts like pionono for our Thanksgiving desserts,” Casaretto said. “Another tradition we do is make my mother-

Poetic work weaves magic into production Curious Theatre stages third segment of series
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com As lights go up at Curious Theatre for “Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet” — the third chapter in the Brothers/Sisters “serialized storytelling” plays by Tarell Alvin McCraney — 16-year-old Marcus Eshu (Damian Hoover) has a dream: Oshoosi (Lawrence Curry) is just outside in the rain, standing in the water and singing/ calling to him. This third segment, with its ongoing oblique references to Yoruba gods, is not as powerful as the second part, “The Brothers Size,” but it is a strong and visually appealing production, again directed by Dee Covington. As with the previous two segments, her background in dance is apparent. And the script is poetic throughout. The unusual technique of entering stage directions into the script continues. Strong work in staging, lighting and sound makes the play flow smoothly throughout. A funeral procession walks by and young Osha (Brynn Tucker), whose father has died (and who is interested in Marcus), asks Marcus to come to the funeral.

He says, “I can’t go down there — I got this feeling …” His mother, Oba (Jada Suzanne Dixon), tells the girl to stay away from Marcus, and her friend Shaunta (Tamisha L. Pyron) asks him if he is “sweet” (meaning gay, in the context of this play.) Oba urges him to come. “Mama — stop calling me ‘baby’ — tell me about my daddy …,” he begs. She tells him to stay away from Osha and doesn’t want to talk about his daddy: “Some things are better buried.” He goes on to ask the elderly Elegua (Sheryl McCallum), “was my daddy sweet?” (In Yoruba legend, both Eshu and Elegua are orishas, gods, of chance and uncertainty, divine messengers between the natural and supernatural worlds, with divine insights.) The little community is concerned — a storm is coming (Katrina?). Enter Shua (also played by Curry), a dreomc.com (303-763-7334) or Pam Toyen at ptoyen7@hotmail.com (303-570-8606).

‘Little Women’ is multi-set musical Parker, Aurora stages welcome show based on beloved novel
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Bev Newcomb, a veteran Denver director, brings her skills to a new musical version of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel, “Little Women.” It will preview at the PACE Center in Parker Nov. 19-22, then move to the Aurora Fox through Dec. 27. “It was my favorite book as a kid. I thought I was Jo. I read and reread it. The young cast members are not so familiar with the book,” she said. “We had to talk about the period and they have been given material to read.” The period is at the end of the Civil War. Alcott published the story in two volumes originally and it is said to be somewhat based on her own family. It found immediate popularity and has been read by generations of girls and women since. Newcomb, a Denver native, has been a professional director since 1967, when she started with children’s theater at Bonfils Theatre, run by Henry Lowenstein. “That was my first paycheck,” she recalled, “I did cabaret shows, then the mainstage.” She worked for Lowenstein for 18 years. “As a kid, I was a performer — tap dancing and singing like Shirley Temple,” she remembers. “Then I didn’t do shows until I was directing.” She worked with the Jewish Community Center Theatre for a few years, then the Aurora Fox and then eight to 10 years out of town. “That gets old!” She has directed and performed at the Arvada Center, but the 10-hour Equity days in rehearsal are difficult for her, at 87. She played Lady Bracknell in “The Importance of Being Earnest” at Arvada a few years ago — and in “Pippin” and “Arsenic and Old Lace.” “I got scared,” she
“Little Women: the Musical” will be previewed Nov. 19 to 22 at the PACE Center in Parker, then it will move to the Aurora Fox through Dec. 27. Bev Newcomb directs. Courtesy photo said. “I much prefer directing.” She directs from the front row these days, she said, instead of hopping up on the stage. “We have a small band, led by Martha Yordy, with bass, violin, cello and keyboard,” she said, expressing her preference for live musical accompaniment. This new version has a book by Sean Hartley, music by Kim Oler and lyrics by Allison Hubbard. The story begins before Christmas when there was no money for gifts. Jo (Angela Mendez), Amy (Katie Jackson), Meg (Chloe McLeod) and Beth (Jenna Bainbridge) are growing up and learning to deal with a world that is not
encouraging for lively young women. When their mother, Marmee, played by Megan VanDe Hay, gets an urgent message that her husband, a chaplain, is ill in Washington, D.C., and needs her care, Jo cuts her hair and sells it to pay for train fare. Jo works on her writing and sells her first book at last, the family mourns the loss of delicate Beth, and the remaining sisters all find an appropriate match. Newcomb regrets that this is a multiset show, because that makes it more difficult to stage, but she is pleased to be working with this material. “It’s really good, though we have to watch Beth die.”
IF YOU GO “Little Women” plays Nov. 19-22 at the PACE Center in Parker, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Parkerarts.ticketforce. com, 303-805-6800.

‘Equus’ hits Denver stage in compelling production Avenue Theater offers play with strong performances
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Passion, love, sexual awakening, religion and the darkness of the human psyche” enter into critics’ discussions of Peter Shaffer’s Tony Award-winning play “Equus.” It plays at The Avenue Theater in Denver through Nov. 21 in a strongly directed production that draws top performances from its leads — Spencer Althoff as the disturbed young man and Paul Borillo as the psychiatrist who tries to help him — and who is also troubled. Warren
Sherrill is director. Staging in the small space is especially well-thought-out in the set by Michael Duran, which is the exterior of a stable, transformed to the hospital or parents’ home or stable interior by Jen Orff’s lighting. Sound is by Brian Freeland and costumes by Brenda King. The three horses, played by humans, play a major part. They wear large wire horse-head sculptures, created by Bozeman, Montana sculptor Jim Dolan, and ingenious hooves that really conveyed that clop-clop sound. Their body language is thought out as well by someone who has spent time with the animals. Althoff, a senior acting student at University of Northern Colorado, plays the intense, mentally ill Alan Strang with great

skill as he interacts with adults in his life and with his beloved — worshipped, really — horses. We will hope to watch his career develop. Borillo, a veteran Denver area actor, is convincing as Dr. Dysart, psychiatrist at the institution where Alan is brought after blinding six horses in one night. Others in the community think he should be in prison and a story, first introduced in 1973, develops that places more blame on the parents than one might find today. But it makes compelling theater as Dysart tries to unravel what happened. Other cast members: Alan’s controlling parents, the religious, anxious Dora and gruff, atheistic Frank, are played by Margie Lamb and Clint Heyn. Also involved and concerned about Alan’s welfare is court

The looks on the faces of the Heritage players reflected their unhappy feelings after their determined effort came up short. They lost 3-1 to defending state champion Broomfield in the Nov. 12 Class 5A semifinal soccer game at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker. “I couldn’t be prouder of our team, the way they worked for each other today and the whole season,” Heritage coach Adam Buseck said. “We were a little hesitant in the first half, but we made adjustments and pressed harder in the second half. It was a tough game and we lost to a good soccer team.” Key moments The game was a fast-paced contest. Broomfield mounted a successful attack midway through the first half and scored a goal. Minutes later, a deflected Heritage pass provided the opportunity for Broomfield to score again to establish a 2-0 advantage at
halftime. Heritage came out and pushed the attack more aggressively in the second half. Buseck said the stronger offense was due in part to some halftime adjustments, plus urging the players to push the ball wide and stretch the field. The effort paid off about midway through the second half. Senior defender Dylan Keeney pushed the ball deep into Broomfield territory then passed the ball to Will Greenway, who drilled it past the goalie and into the net to cut the Broomfield lead in half. “This was a battle of who wanted it more, battling for every inch and a matter of who worked harder,” Keeney said. “When we got that goal, it lifted our spirits because we had been working so hard to put the ball into the back of the net.” Keeney said the goal provided a feeling of relief but it did the opposite of what the team wanted it to do, because they relaxed a little too much and Broomfield got an insurance goal later in the game. Key players/statistics Greenway had Heritage’s only goal, his first goal of the season. Keeney had the assist, his seventh of the season. The Eagles played 19 games this season.
Mattia Cominelli was the team’s scoring leader with nine goals, and teammate Taylor Petkovich had eight goals and five assists. This season, Heritage scored 40 goals and made 30 assists in 19 games. Defensively, Jack Schulze was in goal for Heritage at least part of all 19 games. He had 10 saves against Broomfield, which gave him 154 for the season. In 19 games, opponents scored 16 goals against the senior goalie and he recorded eight shutouts. They said it Buseck said the Heritage Eagles lost in the first round of the playoffs last year, and making it to the state semifinals this year was a plus for the program. “We made it to the state semifinals in 2011 and the semifinals this year,” he said. “We know we have a strong program, and our record shows our team has high standards on and off the field.” Heritage finished the year with a 13-6 record, with 11 seniors on the team, making up about half the Eagles roster. “A number of team leaders are graduating but we also have a number of good players coming back next season,” Buseck said. “We hope making it to the semifinals will be a building block for our team when we begin preparing for next season.”
Warriors knocked from playoffs with first loss Ralston Valley takes control in second half to defeat Arapahoe By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Nov. 13 Arapahoe-Ralston Valley state football playoff game resembled a slugfest as the game was all about power running and stingy defense. The Warriors, who came into the game undefeated, held a 3-0 lead going into the second half, but the Mustangs won the ground game battle and the game, 21-3. “We had a good game plan coming in and felt good about a good performance in the first half,” coach Mike Campbell said after the game. “Then we fumbled on the second play of the second half, and that hurt us. Their backs ran hard, their defense was flying around, and they won. But I am proud of our kids because they didn’t quit, and I am proud of our play all season.” Key moments Arapahoe provided the only first half points as Nate RaPue kicked a 33-yard field goal. The attacks for both teams focused on

Key players/statistics The game statistics weren’t posted, but for the season quarterback Pete Mitchell completed 91 of 141 passes for 1,349 yards and nine touchdowns. He also ran the ball 70 times for 243 yards to lead the team in total yardage with 1,529. Teammate Nick Thompson carried 201 times for 851 yards and scored 12 touchdowns. Connor Williams was the team receiving leader with 36 catches for 525 yards and four touchdowns, while Ray Haas had 10 catches for 260 yards and three touchdowns. Hass also played defense as he had 29 solos and 29 assists for a total of 55 tackles. He also had six interceptions. Teammate Alex Smith had 20 solos and 35 assists for 55 tackles.

c There seems w to be many who t c beg to differ with the United States Soccer Federation’s restrictions on heading balls for youth players. Guidelines were announced Jim Benton for youth leagues to eliminate OVERTIME heading for o players 10 years I old and under. b It was recommended that players u between 11 and 13 only be allowed to b head balls during games. The no-header guidelines to limit t concussions were a result of a lawsuit. c “It’s a moot point,” said Colorado i Rush CEO and President Tim Schultz. “Any good teacher of this game would t not spend time in training on heading W the ball. And during the game, the ball d may reach the child’s head height once i in a great while. If the child heads the ball, great. If he ducks, who cares? t “As they get more mature, teaching t the right way is crucial. The federation d has a 1,000 other problems and issues K that need addressing. Why they feel they need to make a position S statement on this is comical.” Cherry Creek High School coach Chelo Curi, who played for the New York Cosmos and Denver Avalanche, agrees. “I am totally in disagreement over this decision,” he said. “Players need to learn at a young age the proper technique for heading and all other skill involved in soccer. The longer we wait to teach proper technique, the more likely a player will develop poor technique, which will lead in my opinion to more injury.” Theresa Echtermeyer, boys and girls coach at Mountain Vista, is Colorado Real’s director of recreational coach and player development and said she has no problem with the restrictions. “It’s good they are doing more research and trying to keep our kids safe,” she said. “If someone who is a medical expert says this is what we need to do to keep our kids safe, I’m all for it.” Jeffco Players of the Year Senior Kyler Fowkes of league champion Arvada West was named the Jefferson County 5A League Player of the Year. He had 12 goals and 16 assists to lead the league with 40 points. Senior Luke Eigsti of Green Mountain was the Jeffco 4A Player of the Year. He had 19 goals and 13 assists for 51 points. Alumni report Mountain Vista graduate Grace Goodbarn, a senior at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, was named co-player of the year to headline the 2015 All-North Coast Athletic Conference field hockey selections. Jack Nespar, a senior goalie at Nebraska Wesleyan who is a product of Golden High School, compiled a 1.61 goals-against average and made 87 saves for the Prairie Wolves. He was 8-8-1 with four shutouts for Nebraska Wesleyan, which finished the season with a 9-8-1 record. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

SOUTH METRO SOFTBALL PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
Valor pitcher embraces change Larson makes smart choices Kilponen honored for softball achievements
Douglas County senior shortstop is player of year
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Valor Christian’s Ali Kilponen knew she had come up with another pitch to keep hitters off balance. So she worked hard to develop a changeup, and that helped the sophomore win 23 games and propelled the Eagles to their second straight Class 4A state softball championship. Kilponen, who went 23-1 with a 0.78 earned run average, has been selected as the 2015 Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher of the Year. “I just wanted to come and do the best I could,” said Kilponen, who went Kilponen 18-1 with an 0.62 ERA as a freshman. “I kept working on my speed and also, my freshman year, I didn’t have a changeup. I got a changeup because people wouldn’t expect a changeup, because last year all they saw was a rise ball. So I worked on my changeup a lot. “I used the changeup a lot at state and the regionals. It took a whole season to get confidence but I had confidence coming into state.” In the state semifinal game against Erie, the Eagles got only one hit in a 1-0 win. Wheat Ridge, the only team to beat Valor during the regular season, faced the Eagles in the championship game. Valor managed only three hits against the Farmers but prevailed in a 2-1 victory. That means the Eagles came up with dramatic hits in the final two games and Kilponen made clutch pitches. “When I saw we were playing Erie, Rio Sanchez pitches on my competitive team,”
Clara Larson has never received a grade lower than an A in high school. She ranks No. 1 in Douglas County’s senior class in unweighted grade-point average. Obviously she was smart enough to realize she needed to start swinging at first-pitch strikes this softball season. Larson led the Continental League with a .594 batting average, 44 runs batted in, a 1.144 slugging percentage and a .646 on-base percentage. The shortstop also hit nine home runs and her 44 RBIs were the most of any Larson Class 5A hitter. She has been named
Valor Christian’s Ali Kilponen has been selected as the 2015 Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher of the Year. File photo said Kilponen. “I knew we weren’t going to score many runs off her because she’s a great pitcher. I had to do my best to keep them off the bases.” Valor head coach Dave Atencio said Kilponen is one of the state’s best pitchers. “Ali is the consummate team player with an incredible work ethic,” he said. “She is only a sophomore and has now led the Valor Christian Eagles to back-to-back state championships. “Ali has cemented her place as one of the true elite pitchers in the state. In her 24 starts Ali struck out an impressive 216 batters while only allowing 13 runs scored. In addition, 15 of the 23 victories were shutouts including five no-hitters.”
the 2015 Colorado Community Media South Metro Softball Player of the Year. “It was a good season,” said Larson, also a standout basketball and tennis player for the Huskies. “I felt my offense was a big part of my strength this year. As for my defense, I felt I improved over last year, which was my goal. I definitely met all my goals and even exceeded a few. “This year, I really focused on swinging at first-pitch strikes because that’s been a problem for me in the past.” Douglas County coach Brian Stebbins had high praise for Larson. “Clara Larson is the most talented athlete I have worked with in an 18-year coaching career,” he said. “She hits for average, power, drives runs in and has great speed. “She takes great pride in not only her offensive production but also her defensive skills. She is able to get to balls that most kids don’t attempt to reach, and because of her quick release and strong arm, she makes outs that no one else in the state can.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF NOV. 16, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your ruling planet, Mars, allows you to assume a sense of command that can help you turn a chaotic workplace situation into one that’s orderly, productive and, yes, even friendly. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting a relationship that’s been stuck in a rut up and running again depends on how far you want to run with it. Be honest with yourself as you consider which decision to make. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be wary of rumors that seem to be coming from everywhere this week. Waiting for the facts before you act means never having to say you’re sorry you followed the wrong lead. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A difficult personal matter might prompt you to turn to a trusted friend to help you sort through a maze of emotional conflicts. The weekend should bring some welcome news. Public Notice
