Downtown with Good St. Nick Jolly old elf brings shiny new friends Staff report Littleton’s 32nd annual Candlelight Walk arrived downtown with a bit more flair this year than in the past. Making their debut were the Ice Princess and her courtiers, which included dancing elves, who led the way to announce that Santa Claus was not far behind. He did not disappoint, magically illuminating the holiday lights on each block as he approached them — than a million lights total — Christmas continues on Page 5
Littleton’s Ice Princess, accompanied by her courtiers, made her debut during this year’s Candlelight Walk, held downtown on Nov. 27.
The season for ugly Christmas sweaters
On Nov. 23, Littleton got a brightly colored, beautifully decorated box for its 125th birthday, and there are 59 more on the way. “Littleton is an older town, very nice and unique,” said Ashley Salazar, president of Sheridan High School’s National Art Honors Society. “It’s had so many years of seasons, we thought it would be nice to incorporate them. And since it’s its 125th birthday, we wanted to make sure we had the historical part incorporated, too.” So she and the 12 other members of the society, led by teacher Karen Spotts, set about to create the first design to be painted on one of the 60 boring, greenishgray electrical boxes that keep downtown Littleton abuzz. Member Naya Ziegler sketched the design, making sure to include input from all of her colleagues. “It’s really neat that we were actually able to be part of it, and get our skills and our talent as part of history,” said Ziegler. Each side of the first beautified box, on the southeast corner of Main and Nevada streets, represents a different season, and the train engine on the west-facing side boasts the number “125” in honor of Littleton’s quasquicentennial celebration. “This is wonderful, and I’m so excited,” said Sudee Floyd, the owner of Outnumbered Gallery on Prince Street. She’s helping organize the project, which will bring in various groups and artists to glamorize the remaining 59 boxes. Boxes continues on Page 5

Community says goodbye to Eric Stahlman Congregants wear Rockies purple as they celebrate a life well lived
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com On Nov. 23, hundreds of people gathered at Littleton United Methodist Church wearing Rockies purple to sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” share a few funny stories and wrap things up with some good oldfashioned campground ditties. But amid the jokes and warm hugs were lots of tears and broken hearts — all found their place during the celebration of Eric Stahlman’s too-short life. “He showed love with grace and compassion and humor,” said his pastor, Margo Wright. “But I know that he was ready to be in a place where there was no more fear or suffering.” Eric, 23, was the son of former city council member Bruce Stahlman and his wife, Kelly. He died from complications of complex cerebral palsy about 1:40 a.m. on Nov. 19, just three weeks after he became engaged to his high school sweetheart, Shanna Gunnink, on Oct. 29. “Eric was just a guy living a full life, and he found love,” said Rev. Dottie Mann. “Shanna, you and Eric shared a very real love, and with that love you gave him hope and meaning.” Jonah Berger, Eric’s mentor and caregiver, said Eric regularly offered him advice about his love life. “I was supposed to help him grow from a boy into a man,” said Berger. “But what ended up happening is that he taught me to be a man.” Eric, said Berger, imparted lessons about facing adversity with courage, being brave enough to be honest, to be passionate, and to be not just a gentleman, but a gentle man. “I was far, far happier to have had him than sad to have lost him,” said Berger. Lucinda Hundley, retired assistant superintendent with Littleton Public Schools, recalled one of Eric’s most courageous moments. Long confined to a wheelchair, he
was determined to walk across the stage to accept his diploma from Littleton High School. Hundley said the crowd watched in joyous silence, and tears of pride were shed. “You were walking for all of us, to tell us that nothing is insurmountable,” Hundley told Eric, in an attempt to brace him up after his twin, Mark, died on June 24, 2014. Their older brother, Jay, stood for a second time to remember the life of a fallen brother, this time for the one he called his “partner in crime.” He recalled playing catch with Eric in his grandparents’ living room, who were none too thrilled about the “hyperactive 12-yearold and his disabled little brother tossing a baseball around the house.” “What defines my childhood is not how different it was, but the ways it was no different,” said Jay. “… He was full of joy, and he was stubborn in its pursuit.” In his joyous pursuit to nail down wedding plans, Eric found a way to vex his big brother yet again. When Jay got married, the twins served as ring bearer and usher. When Eric recently announced Jay would not be a groomsman, he wondered why. “He looked at me, grinned and just said, ‘Payback,’” said Jay, laughing. “That was the last meaningful conversation I had with him, and I wouldn’t change anything about it.” What might have been Eric’s favorite moment during the service was when Reed Saunders, “Voice of the Rockies,” stood to address the congregants. Eric’s passion and avocation was to be an announcer for the baseball team’s games, and the Rockies welcomed his visits on many occasions. In May of last year, he even got to see his name up in lights as he and Mark threw out the first pitch, just weeks before Mark’s death. Reed was there to announce that the team would retire a jersey in Eric’s honor, No. 23. “For the 23 years of life, love and laughter we were all blessed to have from Eric,” he said. “I know you have a new view in the Sky Box with your brother by your side. And I promise we’ll get some pitchers. But in the meantime, if you could send us some heavenly mojo, that would be great.”

Pottery by Joni Leib of Littleton is included in the Holiday Express exhibit at the Depot Art Gallery.
Depot Art Gallery all about holidays By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Depot Art Gallery, with its bright red and green paint, gives the visitor the effect of walking into a living Christmas card. Inside, in December, that image continues with decorations and one-ofa-kind original gifts, created by the Littleton Fine Arts Guild’s members and invited guests, enlisted by member Renee Ziccardi. Paintings, photographs and drawings fill the walls of the 19th-century Santa Fe Railroad depot, while tables and shelves hold pottery mugs, cookie jars, bowls and more; wood items, such as cutting boards; art cards (including holiday note cards that are a gift themselves). Also: framed mini prints for only $20, handmade miniature journals and bright, unusual jewelry.
IF YOU GO The Depot Art Gallery is at 2069 W. Powers Ave. in downtown Littleton — just north of the Courthouse and Buck Recreation Center. 303795-0781. Admission is free as is parking.
A special invitation: Starting Dec. 8 and ending Dec. 11, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Depot offers shoppers a complimentary lunch so working people can visit the gallery, meet some artists and shop during their lunch hour. The Depot Gallery will have extended hours through Dec. 27: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. 303-795-0781.
Volunteers sought for cultural council The Arapahoe County commissioners are seeking applications from residents who are interested in serving on the Cultural Council as a representative for the cities of Englewood, Sheridan and Littleton. Qualified applicants must reside or own property in Arapahoe County and must reside in the city they would represent. The application deadline is Dec. 4. The Cultural Council is responsible for distributing funding from the metrowide Scientific and Cultural Facilities District sales tax to qualified nonprofit organizations and local governments. The council prepares a recommended distribution plan and forwards the recommendations to the board of county commissioners for review, ratification and submittal to the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District Board of Directors for final
funding approval. To apply, visit www.arapahoegov.com and click on “Government” then “Citizen Boards and Committees.” Applications also are available at the Administration Building, 5334 S. Prince St. in Littleton. For more information or to have an application mailed or faxed, call Carol Dosmann at 303-795-4531. Keep trees cozy for winter As you wrap up for winter weather, South Suburban Parks and Recreation recommends wrapping your trees as well. The wrap isn’t to keep trees warm, it’s to prevent them from getting sunscald. In Colorado, sunscald is a problem because of the rapid temperature fluctuations that occur between day and night in winter. Sunscald is typically found on young deciduous trees, usually five years and younger, on the southwest side of the tree. Tree species that need to be protected are thin-barked trees such as honey locust, willow, ash, maple, linden and fruit trees. The ideal time to wrap trees is early to mid-November, but there is still time to protect trees. Residents can purchase tree wrap from local garden centers and nurseries to keep trunk temperatures cool. Be sure to remove the wrap when spring arrives. Wrap that’s not removed can harbor insects or disease, and the tape can injure the tree as it grows in the spring. This fall, South Suburban Parks and Recreation wrapped more than 1,000 trees throughout the district. South Suburban manages a total of nearly 25,000 trees.

Park district shares costs to do more Matching gifts program with outside organizations benefits areas in district Staff report
Clothing-X-Change, at 311 E. County Line Road, has its third annual ugly Christmas sweater selection. Owner Elizabeth Blums spends months collecting vintage sweaters and decorations. Photo by Alex DeWind
Sweaters Continued from Page 1
Elizabeth Blume said. “We have everyone young and old coming in.” Ugly Christmas sweaters have become so popular there’s now an organization and national holiday, which this year falls on Dec. 18. The purpose is to “make the holidays fun… the way they were intended to be,” the National Ugly Sweater Day website says. And Clothing-X-Change, at 311 E. County Line Road, has a one-of-a-kind selection. Blume, a Colorado native, has more than 25 years of experience in the fashion industry. She has a degree in design and merchandising from Colorado State University and an master’s in international business and marketing from Regis University. In her early career, she designed sweaters for The Limited, a women’s clothing company, and traveled internationally. She’s owned Clothing-X-Change for the past five years. It’s her third year selling ugly Christmas sweat-
ers. Blume was first inspired by Tipsy Elves, an apparel company featured on ABC’s “Shark Tank” in 2013, that manufactures tacky, holiday-themed sweaters. She spends months collecting recycled materials for the holiday season. And around Thanksgiving, she hosts a Sunday brunch where friends, family and employees decorate the ugly sweaters. “I find old sweaters in every nook and cranny,” Blume said. “We all just love to laugh and really get into the holiday season.” Each sweater is different. There’s a conservative selection of classic brands collected over the years, such as Pendleton Woolen Mills, Talbots and Eddie Bauer. There’s brightly decorated, handstitched cardigans and simple, open vests. And it makes for a fun outing. Blume often sees couples and friends peruse the ugly sweaters for a good laugh. Or she sees giddy parents as they pick the perfect outfit for their child. One day, two young men spent at least two hours trying on different sweaters, employee Jenn Moran said. It’s a busy project, but Blume likes to make people happy, she said: “It brings a lot of love and laughter.”
South Suburban Parks and Recreation turns lots of ideas from residents into reality through its matchingfunds program. “Sharing the cost of purchasing equipment or planting trees helps maximize resources and provides more benefits and amenities for residents and patrons of South Suburban Park and Recreation District,” said Jamie DeBartolomeis, SSPR marketing specialist. The program encourages outside organizations to partner with South Suburban to leverage resources by equally splitting the cost of projects throughout the district, which serves residents of Littleton, Sheridan, Columbine Valley, Bow Mar, Lone Tree and Centennial west of Interstate 25, and portions of Jefferson, Douglas and Arapahoe counties. This year, the SSPR board of directors approved $10,847 in matching funds. Information on the 2016 program will be available in the spring. Projects completed in 2015: • South Suburban Pottery Guild — new slab roller, shop vacuum and stools for patrons of South Suburban’s Pottery Studio at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial • Nob Hill/Ridgeview Hills Association — three new picnic tables by Ames Elementary in Centennial • TrailMark Homeowners Association — new trees and shrubs in TrailMark Open Space in Littleton • Palos Verdes Civic Association — concrete stairs by the tot lot in Palos Verdes Park in Centennial • Walnut Hills Civic Association Golf — disc baskets installed in the Little Dry Creek Open Space within the Walnut Hills neighborhood in Centennial • Holly Parks Sharks Swim Team — backstroke flagpoles and a tent for Holly Park Sharks Swim Team in Centennial • Ben Franklin Swim Team — new website to manage the Ben Franklin Swim Team in Centennial, and an update to the Meet Manager software • Littleton Hockey Association — new hockey nets to be used for practices, games and scrimmages at South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial • Denver Figure Skating Club — portable mirror for figure skating and hockey movement assessments at South Suburban Ice Area in Centennial

Students make a week out of Veterans Day Soldiers visit schools throughout district Staff report Students in Littleton Public Schools turned Veterans Day into an entire week of learning about honor, courage and what life as a soldier is really all about. Among the many celebrations throughout LPS, Runyon Elementary School was honored to host Heritage High School teacher Jason Whitehorn, who served as a major in the Army during Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Noble Eagle and Operation Iraqi Freedom, along with more than 20 veterans who attended the school’s celebration. Whitehorn spoke to students, parents and community members about his experiences abroad, including the pain of having to say goodbye to family members upon deployment, the challenges of adapting to a new country and a new culture and the importance of forming relationships with
leaders and community members in the villages where he was stationed. The kids were especially fascinated with the story about how he and his troops formed a connection with locals through a game of pickup soccer during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Over at Peabody Elementary School, first-graders dressed in white shirts with American-flag ties sang patriotic songs and honored veterans with poems, thanking them for their service. With flags from each branch of the military as a backdrop, veterans rose to address the audience and to share when and where they served. Peabody’s halls were aglow with lots of red, white and blue, featuring special projects honoring the many veterans of this country. In the main hall, American flags the students made adorned the ceiling above the buffet set up for veterans who attended the celebrations. “Littleton Public Schools is grateful to the men and women who have and continue to serve the United States,” said Anna Ziverts, LPS communications support specialist.
MILESTONES Education Frankie Warden, of Englewood, has earned the Presidential Scholarship to attend Cornell College for the fall 2016 semester. Brandon Lovejoy, of Littleton, was cast as Shauva/Ensemble in “The Caucasian Chalk Circle,” presented in December by the University of Rhode Island theater department. Written near the end of WWII and decidedly anti-Nazi, “The Caucasian Chalk Circle” is a play about politics, law, justice, parenthood and more. Dylan Malewska, of Littleton, was
selected to be a team coordinator of the Campus Sustainability at Fort Lewis College’s Environmental Center. Malewska’s major is environmental studies. Melba Njenga, of Littleton, attended the SACNAS (Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science) national convention in October in Washington, D.C. Njenga presented a poster on her research, “Detecting the Active-X chromosome in the brains of mice,” with Dan Wang, Kevin Chang, and Dena Dubal. Njenga’s major is political science and biology.

State eyes universal health-care proposal Single-payer system will be on 2016 ballot
By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press
A new plan for government-run health care that covers everyone is coming from a surprising corner: Colorado, a politically moderate swing state where Republicans and Democrats often share control of state government. Universal coverage proposals — known as “single-payer” — have failed time and again in the United States. Left-leaning Vermont recently pursued such a system, only to abandon it as too expensive. President Obama’s health-care law doesn’t cover everyone and has sparked enormous political backlash. If the idea hasn’t worked in states that embrace Canadian-style, government-run health care, what are the chances it will fly in a moderate state that has the nation’s toughest restrictions on raising taxes? It’s a long shot, supporters concede. But they’ve gotten the question onto 2016 tballots and hope that dissatisfaction on both sides with the current federal health law will make Colorado the first state to set up universal health care. “I think we should take a picture of us throwing a bunch of cash down the toilet, because that’s what we have right now,” said Shelley Cohen of Denver, an advocate who handed out fliers about the plan at a recent meeting in a Denver church fellowship hall. About two dozen people came to hear details. The plan would work like this: There would be a new, $25 billion-a-year tax taken out of paychecks, similar to how Medicare is funded. That money would then go to an elected board of trustees, which would act as an enormous insurance company and reimburse doctors. The ColoradoCare tax would raise
‘This board is absolutely going to control the money, and special interests are going to control the board.’ Dr. Vince Markovchick, Professor emeritus of emergency medicine at the University of Colorado-Denver School of Medicine enough to cover everyone, even people who don’t work or aren’t legally in the country. It’s not exactly a “single-payer” plan, because Medicare and the military health care system would remain intact. But co-payments and deductibles would go away. And so would most insurers. A brochure explaining the plan touts, “It is assumed that residents and Colorado businesses will choose to discontinue purchasing other insurance coverage.” Campaign predicts surplus The campaign projects ColoradoCare would run annual surpluses of $2 billion, based mostly on trimming administrative costs from insurers and doctors’ offices. Supporters insist voters are so soured on insurance companies and complicated insurance exchanges that they are ready to try a radical new way of providing health care. “We will save not millions but billions,” said Jeanne Nicholson, a retired nurse and former Democratic state senator who is touring the state leading workshops on Colorado Care. Edmund F. Haislmaier, a health policy research fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said he’s skeptical
Colorado’s plan will win public support. The price tag is so eye-popping — almost doubling the size of Colorado’s overall budget overnight — that even health-reform fatigue may not carry the campaign, he said. “You can write the opposition campaign now. ‘Do you want your health care to look like the post office or DMV?’ The average person kind of gets that,” Haislmaier said. “When you’re talking about forking over an extra 10 cents a dollar on top of all your taxes, people aren’t going to like it.” Indeed, a recent campaign to raise Colorado income taxes to shore up the state’s struggling public school system lost badly, despite almost universal acceptance that schools are underfunded. The 2013 schools income tax question would have raised taxes $950 million a year, a fraction of the ColoradoCare tax, but failed nearly 2-to-1. Questions arise Even supporters of single-payer health care have questions about ColoradoCare. At the Denver meeting, one physician asked about the elected board of trustees that would set premiums and decide what to pay doctors for their services.
“This board is absolutely going to control the money, and special interests are going to control the board,” warned Dr. Vince Markovchick, professor emeritus of emergency medicine at the University of Colorado-Denver School of Medicine. Others asked about abortion services — how could a government-controlled health system pay for them? The question raised the specter of ethical concerns about lots of medical services, from gender transition to fertility treatments to erectile dysfunction medicine. Shouldn’t those services be left to the private sector? Nicholson said that covered services would be determined by the elected board of trustees. She conceded that a board controlled by insurers “could undermine all our efforts.” “Even though this is going to be hard and there are going to be challenges, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try,” Nicholson concluded. ColoradoCare supporters say they’ve learned from Vermont’s mistakes — such as trying to take over Medicare, instead of leaving care for people over 65 to the federal government. And the Colorado backers insist they won’t set brute-force price controls on doctors in order to keep costs manageable, which could drive doctors out of business. “Doctors are leaving now, because they’re at the bottom of the food chain with insurers. Doctors who can afford to retire are retiring,” said Democratic Sen. Irene Aguilar, a physician who is ColoradoCare’s chief supporter in the Legislature. She didn’t guess how much it would cost to run a campaign to persuade voters to approve ColoradoCare. Win or lose, the question will be an economic boost, she joked. “This will be a great economic driver for our state because of all the opposition money that’s going to pour into Colorado,” Aguilar said with a grin.

Old iron sought for Littleton sculpture
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com That old thing? Horseshoes? Spurs? Wedges? Tongs? Blacksmith tools? Machine parts? Look at what’s collected in the garage or shed, with a rust patina. Kim Glidden wants a few pieces of old iron farm/ranch equipment, and she hopes local residents have some treasures to share that will become part of a public sculpture to be placed in front of the marble wall at Colorado Community Bank. It will relate to Littleton’s history as an early farm town. Downtown Littleton potter/ merchant Kim Louise Glidden, of the Pottery Studio Gallery, has a grant from Littleton’s new
Place-Making Grant program, which has $25,000 available for projects that “make the community more interesting.” Glidden’s proposal is for a sculptural piece called “Community Collage” that will represent Littleton’s agricultural beginnings, and she hopes for donations of old iron tools from people in the community that can become part of this visual story. Glidden will design the piece and welding will be done by local metal artist Steve Gastineau, she said. Donations can be left at her Pottery Studio Gallery, 5739 S. Curtice St., downtown Littleton, by the end of January. For information, call 303-7382275.

Some kinds of spills are exactly what’s needed Have you ever poured a drink into a glass and filled the glass to the brim? I mean not just to the brim, but sometimes where the liquid crowns at the top of the glass without spilling over the side. When we do this we slowly lean forward over the glass and take a sip so that we can get the glass to a manageable position that allows us to freely lift the glass and drink without the fear of spillage. So what is it we are filling our bodies and minds with? What are we pouring into our systems that fill us to the brim? Are we being filled with happiness and joy, knowledge and wisdom, passion and purpose? Or are we allowing others to pour in trouble and sorrow, pain and anguish, or negativity, doubt, and fear? You know what happens when we actually fill a glass to the brim, crowning it with milk, water, soda, beer, or whatever it is we have poured for ourselves. As careful as we are at taking those initial sips to make the glass manageable and free from spillage, sometimes
the spills happen. And unfortunately sometimes we spill our drink on the person standing next to us, don’t we? Now, think about that for a minute. If we are filled to the brim with joy and happiness, positive attitude and outlook, love and kindness, and we accidentally spill Michael Norton some over the side, and WINNING maybe even onto the person next to us, those WORDS spills would typically be well received and appreciated. Whereas if we were filled to the brim with negativity, pessimism, fear, doubt and drama, and happened to spill those all over the person next to us, they would probably feel the need to get to the cleaners and have those stains
removed. It is so important to recognize what we are filling our mind and body with. It is equally as important to understand that whatever we fill our bodies and minds with will one day, intentionally or unintentionally, spill out on to those around us. So ask yourself, when that happens, what do you want people around you to see or feel? Will they walk away feeling better and greatly appreciate the gift you have shared? Or will they walk away and head straight to the dry cleaners to get the stains removed? The choice really is up to you. So how about you, is your glass filled to the brim? Is it crowning at the top and spilling over? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we are spilling out the good stuff, 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.
Turning dog into prop is just plain improper A friend asked me what I thought of the Minion dachshunds. I told her that I didn’t know anyone named Minion. She said that I could find the Minion dachshunds on YouTube. After watching about ten seconds of the Minion dachshunds, I asked her to ask me the question again. “What do you think of the Minion dachshunds?” “Felonious,” I said. I own a reliable, lovable and sturdy little animal, who was brilliantly designed, not a manikin. If you want to lose my interest, all you have to do is give me anything with the words “wiener dog” on it. Smitty is not a wiener dog. Your dachshund might be a wiener dog, but mine is not. And don’t tell me not to take it so seriously. Your daughter is horse-faced. Your son is bacon-wrapped. How is that? Not so good, right? I am not being defensive either. I simply think that animals must not be treated like substitutes for dolls or toys or be armatures for idiotic costumes. I talk to Smitty the way that I talk to anyone, namely without patronization. Of course, there are moments when his empirically good looks require me to speak in a voice that no one else on earth has ever — or will ever — hear. Pets are a reflection of their owners. By the time I adopted Smitty, he was messed
up. But unlike the rest of us, dogs can be un-messed, if there is love and respect. I am Smitty’s third owner. Very little is known about his first owners, a family I was told. His second owner Craig Marshall Smith was cautionary. Disney is to QUIET blame for some of DESPERATION this. All of his animals are anthropomorphized. Look at Bambi. Good example. Too cute for words. I acknowledge that Smitty is a cute dog. That does not call for a bun and mustard costume. You can buy them. Smitty is surrounded by fine art. Not by Saturday morning cartoons. Canadian Ryan Beauchesne and his girlfriend think about their dachshunds very differently. The two of them have a best-seller (“Crusoe the Celebrity Dachsund”) and a website. Both are devoted to a dachshund named Crusoe, who travels the world in various handmade costumes. I showed the website to Smitty, briefly, and he crawled into the sleeve of a sweatshirt for the remainder of the day.
There are people who profit from the sale of paintings painted by monkeys and elephants. That offends me, but I am used to offense. I am living in America, and that comes with just about everything that passes for marketing, and just about anything that qualifies for entertainment. Even Amy Schumer can get a laugh in America. I don’t know why. Smitty is surrounded by classical music too, not “Teddy Bears’ Picnic.” I recommend a film called “Best in Show,” and specifically the Shih Tzu calendar scene with Michael McKean and John Michael Higgins. It’s good comedy, but it’s also a true story. It’s Crusoe wearing a sailor’s cap. I guess it all depends upon which side you are on. If your level of amusement includes gimmickry appliquéd to an animal, who is unable to speak against it, we’re not on the same side. An anonymous neighbor periodically leaves envelopes full of glitter on my driveway. Along with the glitter comes a card that features a dachshund. It’s never Robert Doisneau’s dachshund. Doisneau was a brilliant French photographer. It’s more like a Beauchesne dachshund. Smitty and I have a big day planned. He wants me to read Albert Camus’ “The Stranger” to him. Again. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.
Talking about racism: Let’s get uncomfortable The pain of racism is real and immediate: A young black woman looks toward the sky, tears leaving trails on her cheeks. As she chants, “We have nothing to lose but our chains,” she collapses into the arms of her friends. Jonathan Butler, a black 25-year-old graduate student, refuses to eat until the University of Missouri system’s president, Tim Wolfe, steps down. Concerned Student 1950, a group of black rights activists on campus, present to university administration eight demands they believe will catalyze action against systematic discrimination at the school. I watched these scenes at my school gain national attention over the past three weeks. I saw lasting effects of Missouri’s slave state history, and the shooting in Ferguson just two hours east of the Columbia campus, contribute to a tense campus climate. A series of prejudiced acts at the university over recent years exposed holes in administration control and left black students unsure of their position on campus. Rows of seats in lecture halls sat empty as students supported protests by hold-
ing walkouts. I was handed a flier promoting a student center merchandise boycott; some students did not want to support MU as a business during this time. My Facebook and Instagram feeds filled with inflammatory posts supporting or denouncing Anna Sutterer the protesters. At first, I wanted to GUEST stay out of the fray. I am a white, COLUMN 19-year-old woman from a fairly homogeneous Denver suburb. How could I understand enough to participate meaningfully? My first reactions were of anxiety and avoidance. But then I realized, as a Christian, as a journalist, and as a human being, I must be willing to enter into the tension. I stood in protest crowds and watched people of different races, areas of study and ages embrace one another. I listened to a black
student share an instance when strangers made gorilla noises and beat their chests at him. I saw grief on classmates’ faces and imagined their minds reeling with times they’d experienced discrimination or outright hatred — how those past moments must have felt so present. It took witnessing these events for me to confront my own biases and think critically about race relations, not abstractly this time, but alongside those who experience it every day. After many conversations with friends and family, I started asking one question: How do we sort through arguments and layered emotions to reach a core where we can unite and make change? I’ve been part of a deeply distressed community before. The shooting at Arapahoe High School my senior year disrupted our peace and left us with many questions. But parents, counselors, teachers, friends and other schools in the area responded with strength and cooperation. Protests, walkouts and media attention interrupted the university and overshadowed conversations about practically Sutterer continues on Page 11

Second suspect arrested in crime spree Authorities name third person wanted in case By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lakewood police have two suspects in custody and have identified the third suspect in the Nov. 18 crime spree that stretched from Lakewood to Sheridan and included a bank robbery, a carjacking and the wounding of two people. Steve Davis, Lakewood police public information officer, sent out an update on the investigation Nov. 24, announcing that police had arrested 31-year-old Tyrone Javonne Richardson in the 1000 block of Sable Boulevard in Aurora about 2 p.m. the day of the announcement. David said Lakewood police and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force had identified Richardson as a suspect and were able to

locate and arrest him. The update repeated the announcement that police are looking for 25-yearold Myloh Jaqory Mason as the third suspect in the case. Police have had 28-year-old Miguel David Sanders in custody since Nov. 18. All the suspects reportedly have extensive criminal histories. Davis said the 60-year-old carjacking victim was found to have been shot several times, and added that the man is still in the hospital.
Fake police trying to steal money, identity Don’t fall for scam phone calls, sheriff’s office says Staff report Are the police burning up your phone? Probably not. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office and other metro-area law enforcement agencies continue to get reports of scammers pretending to be officers and deputies on the telephone. “The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office does not call people because of missed jury duty or outstanding warrants, nor does any other law enforcement agency in the area,” says a news release from ACSO. Scammers often manipulate caller ID to mimic the real phone numbers of local police and sheriff’s offices to make them seem legitimate, and even offer phony case numbers and use official terminology. “The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office has made significant progress in cases it is investigating, but these scams are always evolving with new criminals join-

anything else. Violent threats on social media threw students into confusion and fear, and I found myself saying similar prayers to those I had said two years ago. The issues and circumstances are different; however, seeing Arapahoe redeemed gives me a sustained hope for community revival. Discussions in classes, at my campus ministry and at church have taught me my experiences and perspectives are not the whole truth. I have some listening to do. I must acknowledge what I don’t know, and understand that sometimes I’ll have to ask awkward questions to combat my ignorance. I am challenged to see beneath the surface. The young man from the gorilla story said racism dehumanizes everyone involved and degrades people to one dimension. My subconscious biases sometimes prevent me from looking at people and understanding their lives hold as many intricacies as my own. Moving to Missouri’s diversity has shown me how challenging this can be. I must continuously check my thoughts and fight off immediate judgments. It can be an exhausting daily exercise, but growth is worth it. The university has made administrative changes and created positions focused on inclusion. I am hopeful for
ing the mix,” reads the release. “Investigations are often complicated and take time to resolve because suspects rarely reside locally, especially in the cases of phone scams. The only sure way to defeat these criminals is to educate consumers to not fall for their scams.” The scammers typically identify themselves as a law-enforcement officer, telling the intended victims that they have a warrant or an open case, or that they missed jury duty. They often ask for information such as full name, date of birth and Social Security number, which could be an attempt to steal the victim’s identity. They might even have knowledge about family members and other personal data, most of which is readily available on the Internet. They then tell the victims that they can take care of the problem by paying a fine via a money transfer or a prepaid credit card, such as Green Dot cards. If you get a suspicious call like this, ask for a number where you can call the person back. But instead of doing that, immediately notify the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office at 303-795-4711 or online at www.ArapahoeSheriff.org.
any move toward reconciliation, but we will have to wait and see how these will directly affect individual temperaments. I am most optimistic about a diversity-training program required of all faculty, staff and incoming students beginning in January. They will be informed about campus racism issues, diverse organizations and resources, and personal responsibilities toward inclusivity. I’ve received emails from the university sharing plans, promising we will get to a better place eventually. I’ve read columns and reflections and social media posts expressing analogous calls to action. What sticks out to me most is the role of the Christian Gospel, and how these events challenge my faith to walk the walk. Colossians 3 says we are to “bear with one another” despite our grievances. My pastor at The Crossing Church in Columbia said love and humility are attractive to all people — that’s how to approach these difficult topics. Racism is a real and immediate problem: We must be willing to stick around and listen to those voices that erupt out of frustration, examine our own hearts, and then share our experiences with others who have not been exposed directly to ongoing prejudice and discrimination. That would be a start to healing the pain. Anna Sutterer lives in Centennial and is a sophomore at the University of Missouri.
The woman shot near the Sheridan Recreation Center was shot once and David didn’t know if she was still in the hospital. However, he said the woman’s daughter, who was punched by the suspects, was treated and released. The press release asked the public’s help in locating Mason, saying he is considered armed and extremely dangerous. Anyone with any information that would assist in the investigation or help locate Mason is asked to call Lakewood police at 303-987-7111 or Crime Stoppers at 720913-7867. Davis noted the suspects could face numerous charges including attempted first-degree murder, attempted kidnapping, aggravated robbery, first- and second-degree assault and aggravated motor vehicle theft. The search for the three suspects started about 11 a.m. Nov. 18 with the “takeover style” robbery of the First-
Bank at Kipling and Jewell in Lakewood by three armed men wearing “Scream” movie masks. The gunmen left in a Jeep Liberty that they dumped on a Lakewood street and then shot the 60-year-old owner of a van as they carjacked his vehicle. They drove the van to Sheridan and dumped it near the school bus barn. They tried to take another car from a woman and her daughter near the Sheridan Recreation Center. The woman resisted and was shot, her daughter was punched in the face and the men ran into the surrounding neighborhood. Police quickly responded and more than 100 law enforcement officers from several agencies helped in an extensive search of the area. Sanders was arrested when he was found hiding under a bus in the school bus barn. Lakewood detectives and the FBI are continuing the investigation.
Arapahoe County Sherriff’s Office nationally recognized Staff report Arapahoe County Sherriff’s Office Communications Center is now a member of the Missing Kids Readiness Project, recognized through the Missing Kids National Program to Protect Children (NCMEC). The project promotes effective practices for responding to calls of missing, abducted and sexually exploited children, according to the NCMEC website. Twenty-four communications center employees completed training in 2014
and received membership at the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials conference in August. And new employees are required to go through the Missing Kids Readiness Project core training after their initial field training. “The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Communication Center has the knowledge and resources to respond quickly and effectively when a child’s life is in danger, making their safe return our top priority,” Public Information Officer Julie Brooks wrote in a media release.

Indulge smartly this holiday season Avoid weight gain from end-of-year festivities with a few simple tips By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Savory aromas of decadent foods accompany the holidays: Festivities revolve around rich dishes, mouthwatering desserts, sweet wines and dark malts. And it’s often difficult to resist the temptation to indulge in more than you should. Many who gain weight from now until Jan. 1 never actually lose those extra pounds, according to Colorado State University’s Kendall Anderson Nutrition Center. But don’t fear — simple tips and tricks abound to avoid the seemingly inevitable holiday pounds. Interviews with area residents and fitness experts combined with research from health websites offer the following mix of personal experience and professional advice. Foremost, start your day with exercise, whether it’s 15 minutes of jump rope or an hour walk around the block. It’s a natural energy booster and ensures better behavior throughout the day, according to health.com. “I have to work out first thing in the day,” Golden resident Kallie Leyba said. “If I ‘schedule’ it later in the day, I will always have a reason not to do it.” She also uses an app to track her daily activities. Smartphone apps, such as MyFitnessPal, Lose It and SparkPeople, log food consumption, caloric intake and exercise. To top it off, they’re free. There’s also wearable technology that monitors health. Fitbit, a sleek wristband, tracks day and nighttime activity, and it syncs to a smartphone so statistics can be viewed any time. “Stay active — 10,000 steps per day really helps cope with stress,” said Laura Brown, fitness coach and motivator in Highlands Ranch. “And stress is the key factor to ills and lack of motivation.” Try these multifunctional workouts if you can’t make time for the gym. Jump rope: According to WebMD, 10 to 15 minutes burns off the calories of a candy bar — about 150. Shovel snow: An hour can burn about 400 calories. Walk with handweights: Make it a full body workout. Clean the house: Get your cardio in by vacuuming, sweeping and dusting. Play games with the kids: Xbox and Wii have workout programs, such as EA Sports Active and Wii Fit, which make exercise a fun, family affair. “We are trying high-protein, lowcarb eating for the holidays,” said parent Lindsey Anderson, who lives in Highlands Ranch. “Then, it’s all up to the Xbox One and the two dance games that my children are getting for Christmas.” Remember to stay hydrated. Drinking water helps control calories, energize muscles, revive skin and maintain normal digestive function, according to WebMD. When it’s time for a holiday party or event, think about portions. Use a small plate — you’ll be mindful of how much food it holds. The Kendall Anderson Nutrition Center advises to skip second servings so you can enjoy a guilt-free dessert. And you’ll have more leftovers. If you’re dining out, try splitting a plate or taking half of it home for your next meal. “…most restaurants give you huge portions,” Highlands Ranch parent Trish Quirk noted.

QUICK TIPS • Walk at least 10,000 steps per day. • Never show up to a party hungry. • Practice a three-bite rule for desserts.
‘Stay active — 10,000 steps per day really helps cope with stress. And stress is the key factor to ills and lack of motivation.’
• Eat slowly. • Invest in a smartphone app or wearable technology to track daily activity.

gested Michelle Medina, a stay-at-home mom in Highlands Ranch. “If I wait ’til I’m starving, I’ll consume a lot more.” Keep five things in mind during holiday festivities: Don’t arrive hungry: Make sure you eat enough throughout the day to avoid overeating. Take your time: You have the leisure to pick and choose what looks good and what will satisfy your hunger.
Practice self control: Listen to what your body needs. If you’re hungry, eat. When you’re full, stop. Pick your sweet treats wisely: Indulge, but don’t go crazy. WebMD recommends a three-bite rule when choosing desserts. Enjoy your food: Chew slowly and appreciate what you’re eating. And always prioritize sleep at the end of a long day. Harvard Medical
Indulge smartly — use a small plate for dessert and avoid second servings.
School reports lack of sleep affects mood, motivation, judgment and perception. The holidays often involve socializing and getting out of the house more than usual, which means “getting good sleep is key so our bodies and minds can get energized,” Brown said.

Exhibit takes art to higher plein The Colorado Plein Air Art exhibit is open at the Denver Central Library. According to local painter Mark Akins, who has three pieces in the show, it represents painters from across the country, who came to on-location sites in Colorado to paint. His 24-by-20-inch painting was done at the Aspenglen campground at Rocky Mountain National Park. “I lost my light the first day,” he said, “and returned at the same time the next day to finish it.” Akins also has a painting accepted in the Littleton “Own an Original” exhibit at the Littleton Museum.

Airport hotel is key piece of old vision More than 20 years after visionary planners conceived of a modern, globally connected airport with an on-site hotel and rail service to downtown Denver, the Nov. 19 opening of the Westin Denver International Airport completed that decades-old vision. Denver International Airport joined with Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock and Westin Hotels and Resorts in celebrating the opening of the Westin Denver International Airport hotel and conference center and its adjoining openair plaza, which sit upon the airport’s new transit center that is set to open in April 2016. Together, these projects make up the DEN Hotel and Transit Center. The glass and steel structure comprises more than 433,000 square feet. The modern hotel and conference center offers 519 guest rooms, 35 spacious suites and a 37,500-square-foot conference center. The conference center includes two ballrooms and 15 additional meeting rooms and boardrooms of varying sizes. The largest ballroom encompasses 7,500 square feet, accommodating up to 750 people. The meeting space’s most dramatic feature is a 10,000-square-foot pre-function area showcasing a panoramic, three-story, floor-to-ceiling glass wall that is approximately 100 feet wide. Guests of the Westin Denver International Airport can take advantage of RTD’s new University of Colorado A Line on April 22. The new light-rail service will take passengers from DIA to Den-
ver Union Station in about 37 minutes. “Today, we open an entirely new chapter in our international airport’s history,” Hancock said. “With this stunning new hotel, conference center and open-air Penny Parker plaza, we are elevating Denver and MILE HIGH the Rocky MounLIFE tain region to new heights.” Airport CEO Kim Day added: “(The) opening of the Westin Denver International Airport marks the achievement of a major milestone toward our goal of solidifying DEN’s place on the world map, expanding economic growth in our region and elevating the overall travel experience in and through the Mile High City.” GVR’s Thomas feted I’ve said it before, but when you Google “customer service,” Steve Thomas’ picture pops up. Thomas, a 14-year assistant golf pro at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club, was roasted and toasted recently at the historic Cherry Creek North home of the golf course owner and head of Oakwood Homes Pat Hamill.
The jovial party, held at Hamill’s Harman House, attracted Green Valley members, employees, family and fans of Thomas, the employee who exemplified hospitality and had a knack for making every player feel special. He is leaving the golf club, where he’s worked since it opened, to work with at his brother’s trucking business as well as trying his hand at day trading. Hamill, who spoke during the festivities, warned Thomas the testimonials would be a combination of “honoring and roasting.” “This occasion gives me a heavy heart,” Hamill said. “You will always be a part of the family.” GVR President Kevin Laura called Thomas “the king of guest service.” He said, “You are the ambassador of GVR.” To honor Thomas’ 14 years, Laura presented the man of the hour with the first Steven Mark Thomas Certificate of Merit, an award that the golf club plans to award annually to an employee who exhibits outstanding hospitality. Laura also awarded Thomas a lifetime honorary membership to the golf course — including a golf cart — the highest level of membership. Thomas, who seemed a bit overwhelmed by the attention, said, “I’m fighting back tears. Every last one of you guys are family to me. We were there, and we did that.” I will miss you, Mr. Handsome. You are a doll.

Own an Original exhibit reaches major milestone 50th annual show held at Littleton Museum
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Littleton was building Bemis Library, there were decisions to be made about prospective gifts from the community, as well as how to plan for the art displays that were seen as an integral part of the building’s function. The Littleton Library Art Selection Committee was appointed by the city council to form policies and make decisions about art, expanding into citywide responsibilities. It is now called the Littleton Fine Arts Board. Among the panel’s early events was the first Own an Original exhibit at the library. It was designed to give local artists a place to exhibit their art and to offer local residents a nearby resource for buying and collecting original artworks. On Nov. 19, the 50th annual Own an Original opened at the Littleton Museum — a considerably more sophisticated collection of works, submitted by artists throughout the metro area. A total of 305 works were submitted for jurying by 107 artists. Realist and abstract visions appear — along with points in between, such as Littleton artist Michelle Lamb’s carefully crafted sculptures of mythical animals. Prominent Denver sculptor Reven Marie Swanson, who has public art pieces in local parks, was the 2015 juror and she selected 65 pieces by 52 artists for the exhibit. (Curator Teri White said 48 new artists entered this year’s competition.) There are more three-dimensional works than in previous years, which gives the exhibit a lively appearance. The Best of Show award winner is in fact one of those three-dimensional pieces. It’s an airy-looking mixed media mobile called “Shifts in the Wind” by Mattie O, who was not able to attend the opening reception. She also had her “Zen Mobile” included

IF YOU GO The 50th annual Own An Original exhibition runs through Jan. 26 at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton, during museum hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays to Fridays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays; 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays. Closed Mondays and official holidays. 303-795-3950.

in the show. Both float above viewers and dance in the air as they walk through the gallery. First place winner was Heidi Rounds for a remarkable drawing called “Pull.” The man’s eyes follow one around the gallery. Second place went to Tomiko Takeda of Highlands Ranch for her oil painting, “Shadows — Reflections of Life” (she was top award winner in Lone Tree’s recent Art Expo). Robert Gray, also from Highlands Ranch, won third place with his brightly colored acrylic image of a fly fisherman, “The Cast.” The juror also exhibits a trio of butterfly mobiles created in cast glass and steel, which deliver an environmentalist’s message to the world.

Regarding the Own an Original exhibit, she said, “I was really taken aback at the quality of the work.” It’s not always apparent when one judges through digital images: “I gambled on some pieces,” she said. She also mentioned the importance of carefully planned, well-lit photographs to be used in the entry applications. “Tell me a story — perhaps from different angles … Shoot outdoors where the light is better …”

Own an Original juror Reven Marie Swanson grew up in Colorado, playing outdoors and enjoying the natural world. Her sculptures — kinetic and still — reflect her love of nature and her wish to protect and conserve flora and fauna. She graduated from CU-Boulder in 1988 and began her career as a stone carver, living and working in Italy for a period. When she returned, she became an apprentice to Denver sculptor Robert Mangold, who creates large public sculptures. She still works as his assistant in addition to doing her own work — and exhibits at his Artyard Gallery. Her website lists numerous public art commissions, exhibits, awards and

‘Unappreciated’ nature gets its due in artworks
McFarland was teacher before career overhaul By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Christa McFarland paints pictures of plants: weeds, seeds, wildflowers, soil — “unappreciated elements of nature,” as opposed to prize-winning roses or peonies. She remembers growing up in Kansas and observing nature on Colorado’s trails — and records what she see in acrylic paints on raw wood panels. Her paintings express a deep involvement with the natural world and her relationship to it. She had been an elementaryschool teacher, and while on a sabbatical in Europe, she resolved to move into a career as a professional artist. In early November, she intro-
duced her “Crossroads Collection” at Outnumbered Gallery in downtown Littleton in collaboration with four local organizations that support our communities: Wellspring Community, Just-in-Time Neuroblastoma Foundation Inc., Bayaud Enterprises and Kendall and Taylor Atkinson Foundation (KATA). This was an effort to raise awareness about these four organizations and what they give through “Love, Hope, Fear Not and Trust,” which are the titles of four clusters of small paintings, each arranged in the form of a cross. More than 100 people attended the opening. Now, it’s time for Phase 2: “Love” will remain at the gallery through December, placed on a Love Wall, where visitors are invited to write their own messages about love with a gold pen. The paintings are for sale separately or in the present format, McFarland said. She waxes philosophical on challenges to each emotion. For

downtown Littleton, encouraging First Friday evening openings in summer (she is open year-round on First Fridays.) Eleven galleries participated May to September — and communicated with her and each other.

Snow an ice touch to playoffs
Columbine running back Mikey Griebel takes a handoff during the Nov. 28 Class 5A semifinal playoff game against Pomona. The Littleton resident rushed for more than 80 yards, threw a successful halfback pass and scored two touchdowns for the Rebels, but Pomona won 21-20. Photo by Tom Munds
Former Heritage player leads Columbine Junior back racks up 28 TDs, nearly 2,000 yards By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com He had a great season as a running back for Columbine, but Mikey Griebel still feels disappointment that this football season ended Nov. 28 with the 21-20 loss to Pomona in the state Class 5A semifinal football game. “I hate to see the season end. It has been a good year for our team and for me. But I couldn’t have had the year I had without this team around me,” the Littleton resident said. “I am a junior, but we have a lot of seniors on this team. I feel bad for them, and I am going to miss everybody that graduates. I wish we were still in the playoffs and could
keep playing.” Griebel, who played football for Heritage as a freshman, was the starting running back for the Rebels. This season, he carried the ball 175 times for 1,395 yards and scored 20 rushing touchdowns. He also caught 21 passes for 406 yards and eight touchdowns. He also could throw the ball, as he did against Pomona, completing his one pass for 35 yards. And he played defense. This season, he was in on a dozen tackles and made two interceptions. “I grew up around football all my life so I guess the game is in my blood,” he said. “I watched my brother play and my dad coach. I watched and learned from other people, and I put in the time to work to be the best player I can be.” Former Heritage coach Mike Griebel is
Mikey’s father. “He has been in a football household all his life, and football is in his DNA,” Mike Griebel, a Columbine assistant coach, said after the semifinal game. “He has come a long way, he has the game figured out and does what he can to help his team. He and his teammates played their hearts out today.” The senior Griebel is not surprised by his son’s success. “I have watched Mikey play football since he was 6, and this is just what he does,” he said. “The team was young last year, so it wasn’t a great season. But the young players grew up, we became a much better team, with talented guys at all the positions. This is a good football team, and you can bet Mikey will do everything he can to help Columbine get back here next year.”
The high school winter sports season officially started competition on Dec. 1, but the state playoff quarterfinal football games contested Nov. 20 could have been mistaken for a winter sport. Jim Benton A snowstorm made it difficult for OVERTIME players, officials, spectators and those trying to remove accumulating snow from the fields. At Valor Stadium in Highlands Ranch prior to the Eagles’ game against Ralston Valley, a truck with a blade plowed the field prior to the teams coming onto the field. Men with snow shovels kept scooping snow off the line markers and sidelines while the teams were warming up. At halftime, the field was plowed again. Neither snow, wind, nor cold kept the teams from playing. Venue change The boys and girls 3A state basketball tournament will not be played at Colorado School of Mines this season, according to CHSAA. The tournaments have been moved to the Denver Coliseum from March 10-12 because of a scheduling conflict at Mines.

SOUTH METRO ATHLETES OF THE YEAR
Cross-country racing no longer a pain SkyView Academy senior runs strong Mountain Vista sophomore Chipman earns girls’ honor
Butler chosen for honor after taking state title
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Allie Chipman is a talented runner whether on two healthy feet or one foot. Chipman, a sophomore at Mountain Vista, finished fourth at the Class 5A state meet despite being slowed by a painful heel injury. “Allie was dealing with some plantar fasciitis the last two weeks of the season,” said Golden Eagles coach Jonathan Dalby. “She was able to run with a lot of guts at the state meet after not running at all the two weeks after leagues. Allie had a great state meet and overall season.” Chipman was named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls CrossCountry Runner of the Year. “This season was nothing how I expected, but not really what I wanted,” said Chipman, who was sidelined with pneumonia and whooping cough before last spring’s track season. “The season as a whole was wonderful, but ended too early because of my injury. “I was planning on going to nationals (Nike Cross-County Nationals Dec. 5 in Portland, Oregon) this year and travel across the country to compete, yet because of my injury, this I cannot do. I also really wanted to win state. Even though it ended on a bad note, the season as a whole was phenomenal.” Chipman won the Woodbridge CrossCountry Classic in Irvine, California, ran first in the Castle View Sabercat Invitational and was the Continental League champion before she developed problems with her heel. Competing in the national event in Irvine on Sept. 18 helped boost Chipman’s
SkyView Academy senior Ben Butler was motivated this season. Butler won the Class 3A individual crosscountry championship for the second consecutive year and was tabbed as the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Cross-Country Runner of the Year. He was determined for a couple reasons. Craig Wagner took over as Eagles coach just before the season. Wagner was Butler’s third coach in his high school career. And Butler’s experience running in September for Team USA at the World Mountain Running Championship in Wales gave him the encouragement that he could win another state title. “The switch of coaches and coming into this season with a new coach was kind of rough at first,” explained Butler. “I wanted to get out there every day and race as hard as I possibly could for the team, hoping my old coaches could see where they have helped take us. I want to give them a lot of credit because all three of the coaches I’ve had have done a good job. “The second thing that really motivated me was that I realized I could compete against guys that I never really thought of myself as being able to compete against. After getting selected to Team USA and running against some of the best in the world, I had a great race there (ninth out of 100 junior runners). I realized that I could take that same approach home and I could run better than I ever had. I just brought that back home and felt like I’ve been on fire.” Butler, who was last spring’s Class 3A track 3,200-meter champ, won the Metro League and 3A Region 3 cross-country titles before finishing in 15:50 at the state meet to
Mountain Vista sophomore Allie Chipman is Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Girls Cross-Country Runner of the Year. File photo confidence. “That race really helped show my capabilities as a runner,” added Chipman. “It helped me reach my main goal, to be taken seriously as a national runner. Yes, I was not able to compete at nationals, but at least I will be taken seriously about future races. “The race also taught me how much I love to race with my team. Before, I saw racing as a pain, but now it is all I want to do. There is nothing better than feeling confident and strong in a race with the crowd cheering for you. There is nothing better than knowing you are in the greatest shape and that your training is paying off. I love racing.”

easily win his second state title. “I felt blessed that God has given me the ability to lead the team in a way that is special,” said Butler. “I had a great series of races, winning at league, regionals and the state meet. Just seeing those improvements from last year means a lot, having gone through several different styles of coaching and still being able to run better than I ever have before. I feel that I’m in the best shape ever. It’s just been such a fun ride this year.” Wagner admires the desire and leadership of Butler, who signed a letter of intent to run at Oklahoma State. “Ben is the hardest-working runner I have ever coached and still finds a way to go above and beyond,” Wagner said. “He inspires his teammates to greatness and never backs down from a challenge. His attitude is all about the team and what the team can do together. He is a great leader, motivator and, of course, runner. “Ben has a great future ahead of him as he excels in academics as well as running. He embodies the whole vision of what SkyView Academy wants to achieve with all our students. Needless to say, we are all proud of Ben Butler.”

Pirate boys head to hoops tourney Englewood coach says talented team could surprise opponents By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Pirates boys basketball coaches put players through agility and conditioning drills as well as drills to improve ball movement and handling during their Nov. 24 practice session, in preparation for opening the season Dec. 2 at the Skyline Falcon Tournament in Longmont. “We have good talent on this team,” said Henry Aguilar, Englewood High School’s new head coach. “We have returning players, some kids who moved into the district who have good basketball skills, and we have good senior leadership. We have a lot of potential and I feel we can have a good season.” The Pirates were taking a break from practice for Thanksgiving, then planning to return to the court to get ready for the tourney in Longmont. Aguilar said the Pirates will run an up-tempo style of play. He said the Pirates will look to push the ball and will use a style Englewood hasn’t seen in a while. Defensively, they will be aggressive and will use the system that works best against an opponent, whether it is zone or man-to-man. “We don’t have a lot of height, but we have speed and we shoot the ball well,” the coach said. “We are going to run, look to hit open shots and fill the lane. Our quickness will also be a plus on defense. We have the talent, and if we can keep everyone eligible we will be a factor in the league this season.” Aguilar is an Englewood High School graduate. He played basketball for coach Stu Howard and went on to play a year at Bethany College in Kansas. “Since college, I have played competitive three-onthree basketball and I was on teams that won some three-on-three national championships,” he said. “I love the game, I am a student of the game and I still play. I am excited to be back here at Englewood and I am hoping to rebuild the program.” He said he coached most of the players in the Pirates team in the summer league. He said the team
played well, even against teams from bigger schools like Mullen and Montbello. He said he knows that in the Colorado 7 League, Vista Peak will be strong and Skyview will be pretty good, but he feels the Pirates could be in the hunt for a top spot in the final league standings. Returning letterman Cecil Ondack will be a team captain this season. “This season is my last chance to do something with basketball, at least at this school,” the senior said. “I want our team to get some wins and push toward a league championship because we have talent on the team and we have a new head coach, so I am eager for the season to start.” Ondack said his focus has been basketball since the end of last season. “I played club basketball during the summer and we traveled to Las Vegas and even to California,” he said. “Teams play a lot faster pace in club basketball than in high school. Playing that style of basketball taught me to play with patience with the ball and wait for the opening to attack the hoop.” He said one of his personal goals is to lead the league in scoring. He said he was third or fourth last year and the players ahead of him were all seniors, so he feels he can achieve his goal.
