Getting a feel for the wheel Students discover driving not just visual experience By Deborah Grigsby
dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com For most American teenagers, driving a car has become a rite of passage, but for Andre Jackson that passage almost didn’t happen.
That’s because Jackson is legally blind. But thanks to a partnership with MasterDrive in Centennial, Jackson and 30 of his classmates at the Colorado Center for the Blind in Littleton got a chance to test their driving skills on May 2 in a customized driving class. Before getting behind the wheel, students were required to attend an hour-long class, familiarizing them with the functions of the car, the course and general safety.
“What we do is, essentially, give these kids an experience they may otherwise never get,” said Spencer Pace, a driving instructor with the nationally franchised driving school. “And that’s the chance to drive a real car.” Under the careful eye of trained driving instructors, the low-vision and blind students were verbally coached through a series of driving obstacles, including a slalom Wheel continues on Page 10
Couple kicks off civil unions in Littleton Pair had brief ceremony on day law took effect By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com It’s not every couple that can say they were both Eagle Scouts. “We’re really similar, so we get along pretty well,” said Tommy Craig. He and Josh Wells were united in the first civil union performed at Littleton’s Arapahoe County Courthouse on May 1, the day the law making the unions legal in Colorado took effect. Matt Crane, Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder, said seven couples obtained civilunion licenses in the county that day, and none was issued the next day. Craig and Wells do have a lot in common, enjoying camping, hiking, biking, running and snowshoeing together. They even look enough alike that people often assume they’re brothers. “We don’t walk hand-in-hand places like POSTAL ADDRESS
straight couples would,” said Wells. It took time for them to be comfortable enough to say something other than that they’re friends or roomates, not brothers. “Now I say, `No, that’s my husband,’” said Wells, an aerospace engineer. The Highlands Ranch couple has been together for 12 years. They had a commitment ceremony in September 2004, in front of about 100 guests. Their parents walked them down the aisle, they exchanged rings and lighted a unity candle. They both wore white tuxedoes and had a maid of honor and a best man each. “We just wanted to make the commitment to each other and have it be acknowledged by our friends and family,” said Wells. They’ve considered themselves married ever since, and will continue to say they are married — “civilly unioned” or “civil united” just don’t roll off the tongue as easily. “When marriage becomes an option, we’ll do that too,” said Craig, dean of a middle school.

Community leaders are taking your health to heart, and they want you to join them. Organizers of the Littleton Community Retreat met at Buck Recreation Center April 30 for a nutritious breakfast and discussion about how best to promote good health in the city. They’re gearing up for a big event at Snow Mountain Ranch near Winter Park on Oct. 18 and 19, when everyone in the community is invited to Lawton join the conversation. Geoff Lawton of Littleton Adventist Hospital came armed with data. Colorado is perpetually in the top 10 states for suicide rates, he said, so mental health and substance abuse should be a focus. He suggests increased economic distress could be a factor, as it is with another big problem he points out — lack of access to care.

Pot debate finally lives up to billing For much of the legislative session, there was one thought that would enter into my mind, perhaps more than any other: This marijuana stuff is pretty boring. Seriously. For a drug that’s capable of making everyday experiences pretty interesting for a whole lot of people out there — and can make those old Allman Brothers vinyls sound even sweeter — for the most part, covering the Legislature’s attempts to regulate the newly legalized retail pot industry had been quite the snooze fest. So, thank goodness for the last few weeks of the legislative session, which produced a slew of pot activity — including some profound philosophical debates over the regulation of the drug — that managed to put the “Wee!” back in “weed.” But things surrounding the implementation of Amendment 64 — the voter-approved measure that legalizes recreational marijuana use — sure did start out slow this legislative session. There were committees after committees after committees, many of which started at 7:30 in the morning. Ugh! And from those hearings emerged super-exciting terms like “vertical integration”; “excise tax”; “egress”; “ingress.” But, I digress. Thankfully, the last couple of weeks of legislative pot talk made up for all of the months of boring regulatory language, trite marijuana puns and over-used Cheetos references. Thoroughly entertaining debates over how to tax the drug and where people should be allowed to congregate to smoke it emerged at sessions’ end. And the political lines over those issues became about as blurred as highway lines
might appear to a stoner on his way home from a String Cheese Incident show at Red Rocks. “It’s been all over the place,” said Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, in a recent interview. Singer was the sponsor of House Bill 1318, which puts in place an Amendment 64 taxation model. Singer said it was “refreshing” to see that debates over marijuana knew no political boundaries. “Ninety percent of the folks here have this really open mind about it, like, `So, what do you think?’,” Singer said. “And my answer is, `I don’t know, what do you think?’ And were figuring it out together.” Breaking news: Republicans don’t like taxes. And they, like many people, don’t like drugs. So what was fascinating to observe over the last couple of weeks of the session was members of the Grand Old Party arguing in favor of lowering tax rates on retail marijuana sales. Their argument was sound — they didn’t want the drug taxed too high, out of fear that the black market would benefit. But the irony is that the end result of lowering taxes on marijuana makes it cheaper for people to buy drugs! That irony was not lost on Singer.
“The traditional conservative argument for less taxes kind of steps in the way for the traditional conservative argument for less drugs. So, how do we balance that?” Singer said. “Same thing on the progressive side. There’s people on that side worried about social factors of drug addiction and the social factors of incarcerating people because of drugs. “It’s a little off kilter.” You can say that again. Case in point was a fascinating debate in the Senate over whether the state should allow the existence of marijuana clubs, where people could have a common place to enjoy the drug, like “Cheers” for pot smokers. Wouldn’t you like to get away? This issue sure made for some strange political bedfellows. Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, joined forces with Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, to propose an amendment to one of the marijuana regulation bills, that would have treated marijuana clubs like cigar bars — only they wouldn’t be allowed to actually buy the drugs there, just smoke them. Sen. Vicki Marble, R-Fort Collins, argued in favor of Steadman’s amendment — which, now that I think about it, could very well be the first time that a Colorado legislative reporter has ever written that sentence. Awesome! “The last thing you want them to do is to hang out in a back alley and smoke it,” Marble said on the Senate floor recently. Democratic Sens. Cheri Jahn of Wheat Ridge and Gail Schwartz of Snowmass opposed the pot club amendment, along with Sen. Larry Crower, a Republican from Alamosa. “Kool-Aid is legal, but do we need a
place to drink Kool-Aid?” Crowder quipped during a recent Senate debate. “If you want to go to a party that has it, then go ahead and smoke it.” See what I mean? Pretty cool, eh? “The political lines are blurred, in some sense, in the Republican caucus (on this issue),” said Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, in a recent interview. “This topic cuts across party lines and philosophic lines that are really complex.” By the time this column hits Colorado Community Media’s papers, the General Assembly should have already wrapped up work on the implementation of Amendment 64 regulations. Jahn said she’s learned a lot about marijuana over the course of the session. “I know more about this than I thought I ever wanted to know,” Jahn told me. “Who would’ve thought? However, if you really look back at over the last five or 10 years, you could really see it’s been moving this way and the attitudes in Colorado and through the country have really changed.” That may be true. But legislators like Gardner — who opposed Amendment 64 — would just as soon be talking about something else. “I’ve heard more marijuana testimony than I have on any other subject in the General Assembly,” Gardner said. “That is astounding to me. I never thought it was something that was a good use of our time, but we have no choice.” Vic Vela is the legislative reporter for Colorado Community Media. Email Vic at: vvela@ourcoloradonews.com.

Storms put Arbor Day on ice Tree-planting was soggy but finally got done By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews. com The year’s two late snowstorms wreaked a bit of havoc on Littleton’s Arbor Day celebration, delaying it twice. But Girl Scout Troop 3822 finally braved a tiny chill and lots of mud to help plant trees at Harlow Park on the morning of May 2. “I learned how to put it in the soil so it could stand still, so it wouldn’t be tilting,” said Sukaina Juwale. Sukaina and her twin, Yu-
sara, along with Olivia Wallace and Baynyan Worland, are all home-schooled, and this project finished up their science unit for school and earned them each a Girl Scout badge. Their English oak is one of the 61 trees planted in the Goddard Middle School neighborhood that day. Over in James Taylor Park, some Rotary members pitched in to help plant a linden tree, and staff from the city and South Suburban Parks and Recreation worked determinedly to get it all done. Originally, members of the Littleton Rotary, Littleton Sunrise Rotary, Littleton Lions, Littleton Optimists and Littleton Sertoma clubs were to band together to get
all those trees planted in the blink of an eye, but the storms threw some scheduling kinks into that idea. Rotarian Rick Clark said there will be another chance to cooperate on May 18, which is Hands Across Littleton Day. “It’s focused on helping seniors and mentally challenged residents who can live in their homes but can’t take care of their homes,” he said. Volunteers will complete maintenance projects on five homes this year. It’s been just three in the past, but the South Metro Denver Realtor Association asked to join in this time. “It adds more hands to help,” said Clark. The tree project was
funded by a grant from Xcel Energy Foundation and the Colorado Tree Coalition. With support from the U.S. Forest Service and the Colorado State Forest Service, the Colorado Tree Coalition has, since 1991, awarded 454 grants totaling more than $696,000. Matched by more than $7.6 million in community resources, more than 68,600 trees have been planted throughout the state. Littleton has been named a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation each of the last 26 years. To qualify, the city must have a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, a community forestry program and an Arbor Day observance.

Insanity plea pending in murder case Man is accused of killing his mother By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The man charged with killing his mother a year ago will plead not guilty by reason of insanity later this month, according to his lawyer. Darin Ninneman is charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of his mother, Lori Ninneman, last May 5. He was to be arraigned Nov. 30, but public defender James Karbach asked for more time to complete a private evaluation of Ninneman’s mental state. In court on May 2, Karbach said there are many diagnoses in Ninneman’s medical history that include both mental-health and substance-abuse issues. During an arraignment scheduled for May 24, he’ll ask that no records be released that don’t pertain to Ninneman’s mental condition, since that’s what his defense is based on. Judge Gerald Rafferty seemed unlikely to grant that motion, saying the state doctors will need everything to make a diagnosis when they perform their own evaluation. “I’m inclined to say, for medical reasons,
the doctor gets it,” he said. Karbach tried several times to inject testimony regarding Ninneman’s mental state during a probable-cause hearing last September, but Rafferty ruled it inadmissible at that point. At that time, the testimony focused on the Ninneman family’s drug use. Littleton Police Detective Erin Brannan testified that Lori Ninneman’s boyfriend, Bobbie Ullery, admitted that he, the mother and son all were meth users. He said the mother regularly shared her meth and other drugs with all three of her sons. According to Brannan, Ullery said Darin Ninneman might have been bugging his mother for some meth, and possibly snapped when she said no. He told police he saw Darin Ninneman sitting on top of his mother and pounding her chest, “as if he was trying to get the blood out of her.” Police arrested a compliant Ninneman just a block from the scene, at Windermere Street and Powers Avenue. Officer Sean Carlson testified that Ninneman did not seem to be intoxicated or under the influence of anything. Ninneman is being held in jail with no bond, charged with second-degree murder.

Chamber lauds small business leaders Awards honor service, innovation of entrepreneurs
Mecalo and David Hoppe. It provides nonmedical home-care services to seniors, those recovering from surgery and people with chronic illness. Options include hourly care and 24-hour live-in assistance that allows seniors to “age in place” on their own terms. “This really got started from our experiences with family members who are very dear,” said Hoppe, who has faced the challenges of dementia in his own family. “I just want to thank everyone for this award.” Abby Senior Care is located at 6 Inverness Court East. It has a staff of approximately 70.

Comedian and Animal Planet emergency veterinarian Kevin Fitzgerald served as emcee for the snowy May 1 event. According to chamber President and CEO John Brackney, the program, which recognizes excellence in business, innovation and leadership, attracted a record 125 nominations this year, across three categories, compared with 70 in 2012. Nominees were evaluated on achievements to include leadership and management ability, innovation, financial performance, prospects for sustained business, and community involvement. “Small business is alive and well here in the south metro area,” said Marcia McGilley, executive director of the chamber’s Small Business Development Center.

Now a second-generation family business, owned and operated by Lambatos’ son and daughter-in-law, Anthony and April Lambatos, Footers takes a fresh approach to its cuisine and to the way it does business. During the award evaluation process, Footers Catering was referred to by a member of the chamber’s staff as a Harvard-like business model, turning the customer service model not only on its clients, but on its employees as well. Footers Catering distinguishes itself with on-site field kitchens to allow staff to pre-
pare food at the event, ensuring a restaurant-quality experience. A newly designed 13,000-square-foot space helps it execute the catering for weddings, corporate events and other large social gatherings. Each year, Footers caters 600 events and feeds more than 56,000 guests.
Emerging Business of the Year
The chamber selected Abby Senior Care Inc as its emerging business winner, an award given to companies with five or more employees and in business one to four years. Located in unincorporated Arapahoe County, Abby Senior Care Inc. is an encore business venture started in 2008 by Bobbie
Jeff Wasden joined six others who have received the Brian Vogt Community Leader of the Year Award, named for the 6-foot-6 former chamber president, gubernatorial cabinet member, and current CEO of the Denver Botanic Gardens, whose enthusiasm for small business remains a chamber staple today. Wasden’s nomination package describes him as a diverse leader, making change at every level — as a volunteer, a board member, and a person who influences public policy. He is a co-owner of PROformance Apparel, 6905 S. Broadway in Littleton. PROformance Apparel provides apparel and uniforms for schools, government and private business. Those eligible for the award include owners or employees of a business, as well as nonprofit and government agencies. Those honored with the Brian Vogt Award are selected on their leadership abilities and their extraordinary contributions to the chamber and the south metro community at large. “Thank you, this award really, really means a lot,” Wasden said. “Oh by the way, I’m going to Disneyland!”
Creator of ‘Undroppable’ drops by college Pollock shining light on education By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Filmmaker Jason Pollock helped honor Arapahoe Community College’s standout students by showing them the stories of kids who are struggling to find the same success. “I think society needs to redefine what heroes are, and it’s not just rappers and athletes. I think it’s these kids,” he told the audience before showing them his documentary “Undroppable,” which earned him the ACC Foundation’s Promoting the Power of Education Award. He was the keynote speaker at the foundation’s annual scholarship luncheon on May 1, held to honor the
54 recipients. Pollock set out to highlight the importance of supporting education at all costs by letting people see into the world of the kids who need it. The film features high-schoolers from across the country just simply talking, describing their lives, their heartaches, their goals, their hopes. “I want better for my Pollock daughter, so I push myself.” “Mom, why do I have to go to school if you didn’t finish?” “You can’t raise a child being a dropout.” Pollock is proud to present kids’ lives in their own words, in an unbiased and nonpartisan way. “Let’s pull on people’s heartstrings and give them a hug, not point fingers at them

and slap them in the face,” he told the audience, which included community leaders, students and staff. He praised community colleges like ACC, saying they’re vital in saving some of these kids. He noted that some freshmen aren’t prepared for college by their public-school system, so two-year colleges can help them get ready to pursue further education. “You guys are soldiers at the front of a war zone that people don’t even want to admit exists,” he said. Pollock has worked with familiar names like Ashton Kutcher, Michael Moore, Harpo Productions and Rock the Vote, and PC Magazine calls him one of the top 10 people to follow on Twitter. He first became interested in education while filming “The Youngest Candidate,” in which he chronicled the lives of four teens who were running for office. He heard things from kids along that way that
scared him — apathy and hopelessness, in particular. He decided to go into the schools, sit down with a kid and a camera and just listen. Then he gave them a forum to be heard on social media, where he can continually update “Undroppable” with new voices and faces. Today he has more than 116,000 followers on Facebook, and more than 101,000 on Twitter. He says “Undroppable” is his way of not just helping education, but the economy as well. By featuring teens who have succeeded against all odds, he hopes to help others realize they can be productive members of society with some hard work and determination. Pollock said things like bullying and suicide are mitigated as kids tell their stories to each other. “The more we know about each other, the easier it is to be compassionate,” he said.
State gets closer to taxing Web sales Measure portrayed as move toward fairness By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado is a step closer to being able to collect Internet sales taxes, following a vote in the state Senate on May 6. House Bill 1295 readies the state for the federal Marketplace Fairness Act, which would allow states to tax Internet sales, providing Congress passes the legislation. Internet retailers like Amazon.com would pay taxes to a central collection point. Retailers would pay the taxes directly to the state, which would then funnel revenues to local governments, under the state bill. Representatives for local businesses testified at legislative committee hearings that it’s unfair that online retailers are not required to collect sales taxes. “This is about fairness to our tax system, making sure that the brick and mortar stores don’t have a disadvantage to the online remote sellers,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, a bill sponsor. Ferrandino noted that mega-retailers
like Amazon.com and Walmart support the legislation. The bill expects to pump more than $73 million into the state’s general fund in its first year of implementation, providing Congress acts. Congress needs to pass the Marketplace Fairness Act in order for states like Colorado to collect taxes from out-of-state retailers. That’s because the Supreme Court has ruled that states cannot force retailers to pay taxes if they do not have an actual physical presence in the state, unless Congress gives the OK. Out-of-state retailers with fewer than $1 million in annual sales would be exempt from the federal act. The state bill passed the Senate on a 2114 vote, after having previously passed the House on a 37-23 vote. Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, accidentally voted for the bill when it was in the House last month. He said in a recent conversation that he meant to vote against the legislation. “No consumer is going to pick up and move because their state taxes Internet sales,” McNulty said. “But you may see a shift in where businesses locate their businesses because of tax increases.”

Election overhaul steams ahead Bill requires reporting of elder abuse Republicans incensed over proposed changes By By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A major Democrat-sponsored overhaul to how elections are conducted in Colorado passed the Senate on May 2, much to the chagrin of incensed Republicans who uniformly object to the effort. House Bill 1303 — the “Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act” — would make substantial changes to the state’s voting and registration process, primarily by allowing residents the ability to register to vote all the way up through Election Day. Also, every registered voter would receive a ballot in the mail. That includes soReport called “inactive voters” — those who currently do not receive mail ballots because they did not vote in the previous election. The bill essentially does away with polling precincts as we know them, and instead sets up “polling centers” where any eligible voter can show up to cast a ballot. Democrats believe the bill modernizes elections and allows for greater involvement in the voting process. “At the end of the day, all we will find is that more people who are registered to vote will do so,” said Senate Majority Leader Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora. Democrats are touting this as a bipartisan piece of legislation, because the vast majority of county clerks in the state support the measure, including those who are Republican. But Republicans senators were apoplectic over the bill, which they dubbed the “Voter Fraud Act.” They argue that allowing same-day voter registration opens the door to more cheats casting ballots.
Capitol
“I have not talked to one clerk and recorder, except for maybe two, who think that same-day voter registration is a good thing, and that we should be allowing this huge open door for voter fraud to come to the state,” said Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch. Harvey also blamed Democrats for “cramming” through such a major bill, with just a handful of days left in the legislative session. At one point during an April 30 debate, Harvey requested that the entire 120-page-plus bill be read aloud in its entirety, which took about two and a half hours to get through. Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, said that the bill would allow anyone to register to vote the day of an election, “with virtually no identification.” Colorado law does not require a photo ID or social security number to register to vote, and voters can use a utility bill to show proof of residency. Lundberg said that using a utility bill to register to vote on the day of an election is “a cruel joke” that sets itself up for the possibility of fraud. “You’re already winning the elections,” said Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs. “Do you need to steal them, too?” Democrats point to safeguards in the bill that they say would help protect against fraud, such as the use of a real-time voter file access system that would determine who is eligible to vote and those who have already cast a ballot. Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, said that Senate Republicans are using “bogeyman” politics to argue against the bill. “We are not doing something out of the norm,” Ulibarri said. “We are updating our standards for the 21st century.” The bill passed the Senate on a 20-15 party-line vote. The bill had previously passed the House, also without any Republican votes. It was repassed by the House for concurrence of minor Senate amendments on May 3, and now heads to Gov. John Hickenlooper’s desk for his signature.
Measure on way to becoming law By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A bill that would mandate elder abuse reporting in Colorado is finally on its way to becoming law. Senate Bill 111 requires individuals in certain professional fields to report known or suspected cases of abuse involving people age 70 or older. The bill passed the House May 1 on a 56-8 vote, after it had previously breezed through the Senate. Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, a House sponsor of the bill, said the legisla-

Police believe the driver failed to yield the right of way to Denner. Denner struck the passenger side of the Toyota and died at the scene. The Toyoya driver, Jemal Abdelkader Dawed, 37, was arrested the day after the crash. Aurora police say he was charged Dawed with vehicular homicide, driving while under the influence of alcohol, careless driving and failure to yield the right of way. He was not injured in the crash.

Those who fail to properly report cases of physical, mental, financial or sexual abuse within 24 hours could face a misdemeanor penalty. Gov. John Hickenlooper is scheduled to sign the bill on May 16, according to Schafer. gathering evidence. “We believe the driver of the Toyota caused the accident by failing to yield the right of way when making a left turn,” the Aurora Police Department said in a statement the day of the collision. “Depending on the results of the chemical test, appropriate charges will be filed.” “We believe that the motorcycle rider was wearing a helmet but that it was knocked from his head during the accident,” the Aurora police statement said. The intersection was closed for about three hours while traffic officers conducted the on-scene investigation. Denner is survived by his father, his wife and two children, ages 8 and 9. A memorial fund will be established for Denner’s family. Details about the fund will be released as more information is available. Edson reminds everyone to always look twice for motorcycles, especially now that the weather is warming up. He also knew Robert Pattie, who died on April 14. Police say Pattie hit a vehicle driven by a 16-year-old male who turned in front of his motorcycle on Santa Fe Drive at the light into Aspen Grove.

W Rail opening shines green light for region By about 5 p.m. April 27, the line of people at the Jefferson County Government Center light-rail station in Golden no longer extended over the hillside toward the foothills. The moment seemed to round out a monumental weekend for RTD that featured two days of free rides on the newly opened W Rail light-rail line. We witnessed an enthusiastic launch for a project that came in eight months ahead of schedule, and we later reported that RTD estimated 35,000 riders rode the rail on that Saturday. We went for a ride as well and were impressed with the 35-minute trip from Golden to Union Station. The train mostly travels a track line that has existed for a century — so as expected, homes, buildings and business properties are nestled by the track. And interspersed
our view
with the old is new development. Yes, times have changed. Interestingly, it has been more than one economic downturn since “smart growth” and “infill” development were common terms in these parts. But we remember the concepts and are pleased to consider the impact of the W Rail in offering another mass transit option and infill redevelopment. Increased mass transit is welcome in many ways, not just for redevelopment but for quality of life — consider Jefferson
question of the week
How much do you care about light rail expansion? Depending on light-rail funding, plans are for a second east line station in Lone Tree to be done by 2015 and a Highlands Ranch stop, once said to be completed by 2016, to be finished at some point prior to
2042. On the heels of RTD’s west line opening, CCM stopped by the Mineral Station in Littleton and the Lincoln Station in Lone Tree to ask riders if southern expansion was important to them.
“I’m sure I’d find a reason to use it, but I guess I wouldn’t know the difference until it came. I don’t see any use for it at this point.” — Tia Manship, Littleton
“Not too much for me. I live in Parker, so coming into Lincoln is really not that big of a deal. It takes five minutes for me to get here.” — Nicole Laurie, Parker
“It’s pretty important. I think the light rail should go all the way to Castle Rock. There are a lot of people that live out this way and this is the end spot.” — Robert Johnson, Highlands Ranch
“I think it’d be a good thing. It’d get more traffic off the highway, people would use less gas, and nerves would be less frayed from sitting in traffic.” — Joe Breyer, Kiowa
You have reached customer disservice “This is customer service, how can I irritate you today?” When have I heard that before? All the time. Just this morning, as a matter of fact. I tried to enroll in a vision plan online. Instead I went into Pan’s labyrinth and couldn’t get out. So I phoned and reached something called customer service. First I had to recite my name and numbers to an automated receptionist, and then a live receptionist greeted me and asked me for my name and numbers. She told me that I was not registered. I had the registration confirmation email in front of me. I re-registered and called again. I was asked for my ID number and I gave it to her. She said, “There should be five zeroes in front of the number.” I said, “There aren’t.” She said, “I’m just telling you that there should be.” I said goodbye, and tried to log in again, and was denied, because I wasn’t registered. I called my bank and asked them to block auto-pays to the insurer. They did. I called the insurer and canceled, and then wrote management and used some leftover words from a DMV experience. Back to customer service. If a human being answers, I weep. Usually I have to answer a recording, and then repeat the answers to Betweena. At least half the time, I can’t understand the customer service representative. Good idea. Put the inarticulate in point-of-contact positions. “Say what?” becomes my redundancy. They seem to like to remove any spacing between words. “ThismessagemayberecordedfortrainingpurposeshowcanIhelpyoutMrCraig?” I’ll say, “Please start by slowing down. I’m a little hard of hearing. I have a vegetable stuck in my good ear.”
Sometimes I don’t recognize the language. It’s some kind of English. I don’t always catch on, though, to which kind. I’m not Professor Higgins. They talk too fast, they’re inarticulate, and they speak in off-English. It’s a good, cost-saving tactic. Who wants to call customer service anymore? Between calls, I forget how much I dislike asking for help from some of these outfits. But at least once a week I need help or a clarification. My vision plan experience is tops this year for being the bottom. I’d like to tell you their name. I’d like them to lose business. But I’ll let them do that for themselves. Not only that, you might have a great experience with them. Have you ever noticed online reviews that are night and day? “Worst restaurant ever” is right next to “Fabulous dining experience.” “We still don’t know what that was in the soup” is right next to “Exquisite medallions of quail.” At least posted reviews are available. Before the Internet it was all word of mouth. We had to ask our friends what was put in the soup. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

County, which sports one of the oldest populations in the state, with about 13.1 percent over 65 years of age, while the state average is 11.3 percent. The corridor’s 11 new W Rail stations — including the Federal Center and Red Rocks Community College — are important stops, sure to be energized day in and day out. The idea to schedule “parties” — in other words activities and booths — at each stop along the 12.1-mile route was a good way to introduce the personalities of the stops and their adjacent neighborhoods to the region. And the new line extends east to existing light-rail stops at Auraria West for Metropolitan State University, the Pepsi Center, Sports Authority Field and finally Union Station. We heartily welcome this line that extends straight west, a little different from
the more north-and-south-oriented existing Denver metro rail corridors. Locally, some business development folks said the project has put Jefferson County on a more even playing field. The business community is primed to tap opportunities to develop the corridor and attract workers — after all, the corridor was on the drawing board before FasTracks was approved. And from a more regional point of view, we know the impact of the entire plan will increase as each additional corridor is completed and the FasTracks plan — which is admired internationally — comes to fruition. Sure, FasTracks has had its cost issues and completion issues — particularly with the North Metro Rail Line — but for now we can enjoy the freshly energized corridor between Golden and downtown Denver.
Better yet, knock ’em alive I am sure that most of you, if not all of you, are all familiar with the statement, “Knock ‘em dead.” It is usually given as a well-wish or send-off for someone about to give a performance or a speech. Many years ago a good friend of mine, Bryan Flanagan, changed it a little so that it was more encouraging, and he enthusiastically says it this way, “Knock ‘em alive!” The cool thing is that it has become more than just a well-wish or inspirational encouraging send-off, Bryan uses it many times as we say our goodbyes. Many of you who know me personally or through this column are aware that I have stolen Bryan’s line on more than one occasion. OK, maybe not stolen, but certainly borrowed. I just love the thought about leaving a person or an audience more inspired and motivated than they were before we spent our time together. I want to knock ‘em alive! There have been many times in my life where I was either dragging bottom or feeling low. Or maybe I was stuck or stalled, hitting a plateau and needed someone to come along and knock me alive. And I have to tell you that it felt and feels incredible when it happens. Have you ever thought about it? Have you thought about what a person or group might feel like when you leave their presence? Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could have that kind of impact on a person, group, or situation? I mean it’s truly wonderful, especially when someone, anyone, brightens our day or leaves a positive impact that changes our moment, our hour, our day or even our week or month just by some gesture, kind word, or smile. They knock us alive. The sentence is so obvious for a speaker or performer, no one really wants to knock their audience out, do they? No, we want

them alive, responsive, cheering, and laughing or crying, or maybe even laughing so hard they are crying. In every situation we are looking for that spark, that reaction. And I think that is why I believe the way Bryan Flanagan changed the phrase is such a fitting and powerful way to say goodbye and not just to be used before someone goes on stage. Just imagine how much better each and every goodbye would be if we left one another with, “Knock ‘em alive” after every encounter. This is one of those simple things that we can all do that doesn’t require us to be a motivational speaker, performer, or coach. We can just change one little thing that we do, add one tiny yet powerful statement to our communications, and we can make such a positive impact in our families, with our friends, in the community and who knows, maybe just maybe knocking ‘em alive here in Colorado could lead to someone having an impact in other states and around the world. You just never know the power and reach that words can have. I would love to hear all about how you plan to knock ‘em alive at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and as we all make that effort it will certainly be a better than good week.

Benefits of fracking require regulation
Over the past few years, “fracking” has gone from a term used largely within ist- the oil and gas industry to one used and y, understood by soccer moms, farmers and the citizens across our nation. It is a word that more often invokes either hopes for economic boom and long-term energy security or to fear of inevitable contamination and envidor ronmental disaster. As with most imporridortant issues in our public dialogue, the truth acks lies somewhere in between. Fracking — short for “hydraulic fraciew, turing” — is a process used in oil and gas extraction. In fracking, millions of gallons or of water, sand and chemicals are injected — at high pressure into underground formames tions to blast them open and increase the flow of fossil fuels. The injected fluids can es include a variety of chemicals, including with known carcinogens and endocrine disrupw tors. As this process is used more extenridor sively, concern has grown in communities er. around Colorado and across the country, and a significant debate has developed over its use. In any thorough discussion of fracking, we must acknowledge the reality that natural gas is a significant economic driver — particularly in Colorado. It creates jobs and economic growth while providing us cleaner-burning fuel. It is also an abundant domestic resource, which we can use as a bridge fuel while incorporating renewable energy sources like wind, solar and hydro into a comprehensive energy policy for the United States. In promoting the benefits of this cleaner domestic fuel, however, we must not gloss over the real environmental issues that exist. Any policy developed to support hingfracking must ensure the health and safety on of our citizens. tion. While Colorado begins to reap the y such bye e
e
rewards of natural gas, we’ve also heard anecdotal evidence of water contaminated by fracking fluid and in one instance, reports of an emergency room nurse who nearly died after treating a worker splashed with the fluid. Reports have emerged around the country of residents, homeowners and workers becoming ill after fracking operations began in their communities. While these are still anecdotal, government officials, medical professionals and citizens need to know with certainty what chemicals are being used at which well — both to evaluate risk ahead of time and to treat any contamination after the fact. Requiring public disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking is a reasonable step towards protecting communities and ensuring oil and gas extraction is conducted safely and responsibly. Eighteen states, including Colorado, have recently put in place state-level regulations requiring voluntary disclosure of fracking chemicals. Of these states, 11 rely on FracFocus, a website designed for voluntary disclosure by oil and gas companies. FracFocus was created to provide valuable information, on a voluntary basis, to landowners and concerned citizens about the chemicals used in specific wells. But the limits of applying a voluntary disclosure framework to a diverse
Thankful attitude is gift to ourselves
2005, after a whistleblower from the EPA in the Colorado office came forward with concerns that potential threats to public health had been ignored in an important report on fracking. After researching the issue and working with several experts in the field, I first introduced my FRAC Act (the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act) to establish common-sense safeguards that ensure the benefits of natural gas do not come at the expense of our health and safety. I plan to reintroduce this bill in the coming weeks. One of the key components of the FRAC Act is to create a federal regulatory framework for disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking. Doing so would remove the patchwork of different state regulations that the industry currently has to try and comply with, and would set up a consistent and effective system of mandatory disclosure, rather than depend upon a tool — FracFocus — that is not designed for the task. As a member of the Congressional Natural Gas Caucus I believe this legislation would enhance our efforts to promote the responsible development of natural gas. Natural gas is an important economic driver for our nation and for our state in particular. As we witness America’s natural gas boom, the Harvard study underscores that a reasonable, common-sense framework of regulations at the federal level can help us safeguard our health and our environment, without standing in the way of the economic and energy benefits fracking can provide us all. U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette serves Colorado’s 1st District, which includes Denver, Englewood, Columbine Valley and Bow Mar.

Sorrow washed over me when I realized, a couple weeks after Aurora, that in addition to the deaths, paralyzing wounds hurt people that they will suffer with as long as they live. After the Boston Marathon bombing, I was angry. Not thankful. That thought seemed preposterous and wrong. It was not appropriate for me to be thankful for an event where others were suffering. “Everything is a gift”? Really? For whom? But, in my own way and in my own place, I tried to be thankful, not for the event but for some things that happened within it. I was thankful for the skilled surgeons and fabulous hospitals that provided trauma care that treated wounds and saved lives. I was thankful for first responders and citizens who ran to the smoke in acts of selfless compassion that were greater than the pathetic acts that injured and killed in attempts to destroy and terrorize. I was thankful that there was law enforcement that restored order, brought bad guys to account for their hideous crimes and did it with professionalism, justice and order. It was an effort for me to be grateful because I preferred to spend my energy with vindictive words and wishes. I felt anger and despised the act but, stimulated by the quote, I made a conscious attempt to express thanks. There were significant

The Harvard study concluded that “relying on FracFocus as a de facto regulatory practice is premature and does not serve the interests of the public.” In addition to calling the website “impenetrable” for users to navigate, the report found that the FracFocus program was not effective for three primary reasons. It has not been shown to provide timely notifications when companies disclose, so states are unable to determine reporting compliance; its one-size-fits-all format creates obstacles that prevent effective compliance by oil and gas companies; and it enables companies to claim “trade secret” status for certain chemicals on an inconsistent and unsubstantiated basis. The report also concluded that because of myriad ways FracFocus is ineffective, it sends a strong signal to industry that compliance and accurate reporting are simply not important. Whether it’s the mom concerned about the impact of fracking near her family’s home, the regulator trying to ensure community compliance, or the emergency room doctor trying to determine how to treat an injured worker, the study makes clear that FracFocus is failing to provide the disclosure its users need. In fact, Colorado was actually one of only two states to demand requirements of FracFocus, and those conditions have not been met. I’m concerned about the direction chemical disclosure is heading because I’ve been working on these issues since

parts of the event that also deserved attention. When I expressed thanks for them, I was engaged in a more complete way that made me feel, not comfortable nor happy, but more alive. In the Holy Scriptures it is written, “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). They do not tell us, “be thankful for all circumstances.” There is a lot in life I do not think I will ever be thankful for — diseases that I have observed in my hospice care, accidents, natural and man-made disasters that take lives and possessions that force dramatic change on people who are just trying to get through another day, economic bad decisions, bankruptcy, etc. But when I make the effort to be thankful, I will be more alive, so in every event I will extend the effort. If the Scripture says to do it, it must be the right thing and I trust there will be a benefit too. A grateful attitude “opens the heart and rewires the brain,” according to a Psychology Today article. When churches in our town remind us to be grateful, they are cultivating healthy emotional and spiritual living. If we as individuals and as a country do the hard work of being grateful when bad things happen, and if that makes us healthier and more alive, I wonder if those who want to destroy would soon discover their methodology is failing. Thankfulness is not the complete answer, but it is something I can do and, at the very least, it makes a difference in me when I express thanks to God, and that is a gift.

Sertoman wins national award
of a aving re al-
gena big
Camelio proud of acleswhat prize brings even to organization
ly to peo-By Jennifer Smith morejsmith@ourcoloradonews. yourcom
like A worldwide search of eople12,000 Sertomans for the club’s most valuable memome-ber ended here in Littleton. n’t. I “None of the stuff I acmind,complished I did alone,” said Dr. Mike Camelio, the who2013 National Sertoman of hold-the Year. “That’s what I’m proudest of, is that the club validwas honored with the award py itthey handed me.” l and Sertoma is a service organization that focuses on uplesserving the needs of the ndershearing-impaired, distribwhouting donated hearing aids to those who need them fraid nk it
and offering scholarships to the deaf community, among other things. Locally, they sell beer at Western Welcome Week, sponsor a soap-box derby each summer, host a clay-shoot fundraiser each spring, and provide a host of other community services. “Dr. Mike,” as he’s known, has been a member of Littleton Sertoma since 1982, when he arrived in Littleton to work in the school district as a teacher, principal and administrator. He stayed there for 20 years until leaving to teach at Regis University, from which he recently retired. There’s nothing retiring whatsoever about Camelio, however. The gregarious New York City native owns Creatively Affordable Marketing and Printing in the South Park area and stays
busy outside of work with alumni groups, mentoring young golfers and other community commitments. “Young people respect adults who care about them and who share an interest with them,” reads the nomination letter his club submitted. “This may be the most important connection that a young person can develop in their lives.” Camelio also spends a lot of time with his three grandkids — ages 2, 4 and 6 — who live just three doors down from him. “It’s great,” he said. “The 6-year-old just walks up anytime she wants and says, ‘Hey, have you got pancakes?’” Camelio loves kids and his career in education, but it almost didn’t happen. When he arrived for college at Fort Hays State Univer-
Dr. Mike Camelio accepts his Sertoman of the Year award at the national conference in St. Louis last month. Courtesy photo sity in Kansas, it turned out the right-wing conservative New Yorker was the most liberal guy in town. He ended up president of the Young Democrats, then running a political campaign for the Democrat running against a
young Bob Dole. “Needless to say, we got crushed,” he grinned. Undaunted, he signed up to work on Robert F. Kennedy’s campaign after graduation. Heading home to start his new job, he heard
the news — his boss had been assassinated. “It was sad,” he said. “I thought maybe politics wasn’t for me.” He went on to make his mark on the world through education instead. Camelio’s involvement in Sertoma — which stands for “Service to Mankind” — has been extensive. He’s a trainer for new members, has started three clubs, chairs the club’s annual clay-shoot fundraiser and on the golf-committee board, and served in a variety of leadership positions. He downplays the award, saying he just happened to be the one there when it was Littleton’s turn to shine. “It’s kind of a goal, but not an objective,” he said. “It’s nice to be recognized, but you don’t do what you do to be recognized.”
Congresswoman scoping out her new turf Redistricting gave DeGette more of south metro area By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, has been spending some time getting to know her new territory to the south, including part of Littleton, Columbine Valley, Bow Mar and lots of unincorporated Jefferson County. She wants her new constituents to get to know her, as well, so she spent some time with the Littleton Independent April 30 offering a broad overview of her perspectives. Health has been a big topic of conversation locally, with Littleton Community Retreat members choosing it as their 2014 issue to drill down on. DeGette is the senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which is the oldest committee in Congress and has jurisdiction over health-care issues. She notes the Affordable Care Act refocuses attention on prevention and wellness, a trend Littleton Adventist Hospital CEO Brett Spenst says is catching on in the industry. She’s planning a series of town halls
throughout her district to talk about the changes resulting from “Obamacare” that will kick in on Oct. 1 “I think it will be a benefit for a lot of middle-class people,” she said, though DeGette some younger men might have to pay more. She knows not everyone likes mandatory coverage, but says covering kids, equalizing costs for the genders and closing the Medicaid “doughnut hole” are otherwise impossible. DeGette has been outspoken about legalizing stem-cell research, which President Barack Obama did by executive order in March 2009. But DeGette notes a new president could reverse that, so she found a Republican co-sponsor and will introduce legislation to make it permanent. DeGette is very concerned about the effects of the recent sequestration budget cuts on Colorado, and says a “grand bargain” needs to be reached this year. Her data shows 700 kids lost Head Start throughout the state, and there are 440 fewer workstudy jobs for college students. About 370 families waiting for housing assistance in Denver got letters saying they were approved, but mandatory cuts reversed that. “These are people who thought they had
homes, and then they didn’t,” she said. With Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet working with the bipartisan “Gang of Eight” on immigration reform, she’s doing the same in the House with a group of six. “Having 11 million people here not on a regular status can’t be sustained,” DeGette said. “Families are being torn apart. I’ve always been supportive of comprehensive immigration reform.” On the state’s legalization of recreational marijuana, DeGette worked with Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman to introduce a bill to exempt pot from a statute that says federal law supersedes state law when it
comes to controlled substances. “My constituents have spoken, and I don’t want the federal government denying money to Colorado or taking other punitive steps that would undermine the will of our citizens,” she said. Finally, on the subject of fracking, she supports it as a method of extracting domestic oil and gas. “But I think it needs to be done in an environmentally safe way,” she said. To that end, she’s been trying since 2006 to pass a bill requiring disclosure of what chemicals are used and forcing companies to comply with safe drinking-water laws.

MAKE YOUR MOVE
What is the most challenging part of what you do? The most challenging thing that I do is to help you understand what your needs truly are when it comes to purchasing a home.
How long have you lived in the South West Littleton area? I am a California Transplant of 22 years. We came to Colorado after John Denver painted that unforgettable image of “Rocky Mountain High.” I love seeing the mountains every day! Although from California, I have lived in New York, Paris, Hawaii & London as well as San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego.
snowy days when at home but my greatest love is to travel. I just visited my 60th country...and passing through an airport does not “count”! I love to connect with people and explore their lives. My favorite was the trip to Nepal and the Tiger safari on my 40th birthday! What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? Two words...Price and Staging. We must “sell” the home from the first moment that the Buyer has a first look. Our goal is to have the Buyer shaking their head “YES” about everything they see. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Look for the need to replace any high cost items like windows, the roof, furnace. Do not get “sold” on the cosmetics.
How long have you worked in Real Estate? I was originally licensed in California at the end of college in 1979 and “circled back” to it about 11 years ago. I am currently with Coldwell Banker and have been managing my Real Estate Team for the last 5 years.
What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? I showed a home in Roxborough where it was “raining” indoors. The pipes had burst days ago, the entire home was flooded, and water was raining down on us.... It likely cost $150K for repairs on a $300K home.
What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? I work with a variety of Sellers/Price ranges. I understand that the Luxury Buyer has different needs than a first time

We can only hope he keeps his day job, but Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning diverted from the playbook and took the stage with country-western singer Luke Bryan during the April 27 Celebration of Caring Gala in Indianapolis, which benefits that city’s Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital. Manning, who played 14 seasons as the Indianapolis Colts quarterback, attended the event to show support for the hospital that bears his name. And although Manning looked far less comfortable on the stage than he does on the gridiron, he was a good sport by joining Bryan, this year’s Academy of Country Awards entertainer of the year, in a “rendition” of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues” and Waylon Jennings’ “Luckenbach, Texas.” Check out the melodically challenged Manning’s duet at: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=NSG7FeGxRwY.

A group that deserves the limelight on stage, Train, headlined NightShine, a benefit for Denver Health Foundation on April 27 at the National Western Events Center. After the presentations and recognitions were over — including the 2013 Denver Health Stars award-winners James Q. Crowe (Level 3 CEO) and Pamela Crowe — Train lead singer Pat Monahan engineered the popular band through hits such as “Calling All Angels,” “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” and fan favorite “Drive By.” But this was no ordinary, roped-off, don’t-block-the-aisles affair; rather Monahan encouraged a stampede of gowned gals who didn’t hesitate to swarm the stage. No doubt the best concert at a gala that I’ve ever seen. Parker continues on Page 20

— with a supremely watchable face! What on earth is she thinking? The boys actually seem to be of secondary interest to this quartet as they interact through a few hours, shifting alliances, playing off each other, making and defending outrageous statements. Yet, each one seems very much alone, ultimately. Yasmina Reza’s satiric slant shines in this wonderfully written script, translated from the French by British playwright Christopher Hampton. Director Chip Walton has cast the play perfectly and provided a really organized ongoing mess to delight his audience, as words — and an occasional object — fly. What more could a theater lover ask of an evening? Don’t miss this one.

By Clarke Reader
creader@ourcoloradonews.com Family dynamics, entitlement and changing times. These are just a few of the themes tackled in Horton Foote’s darkly comic “Dividing the Estate,” which makes its regional premiere at the Arvada Center’s, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Black Box Theater. The play runs through May 26, with performances at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. “The key is to find the balance between the comic and the human,” said director A. Lee Massaro. “I’m calling it a dramedy because it takes a look at death and how it affects people, and the greed that comes from trying to get what you need.” The story takes place in Texas in 1987 and focuses on the Gordons - a family that used to have considerable wealth, but not finds themselves facing a finanical crisis. The families matriach Stella is committed to not dividing up the only real asset the family has left - the 100-year-old family estate. Her three children - Mary Jo, Lucille and Lewis - have other ideas, and try to convince their mother to change her mind. All manner of sibling rivalries and old resentments arise as each family member vies for their own piece. “The children aren’t necessarily being greedy in the sense that they want as much as they can have,” Massaro said. “They’re really trying to get enough so they can get what they need, and maintain their lifestyles.” The family is also dealing with the

Massaro said a lot of the joy in directing this show comes from Foote’s writing style, and his familiarity with the region. “He has a great ear for the part of Texas he’s writing about, and it’s based on stories he’d heard,” she said. “You get a sense that the people are real.” In the first production of the play in 1989 Foote’s daughter Hallie played Mary Jo, and in that spirit Massaro’s 16-year-old daughter Ella Tieze is playing Lewis’ girlfriend Irene Ratliff in this production. “She (Irene) is kind of a harbinger of the new world the family is dealing with,” Tieze said. “She’s from the new generation and a different class, and king of goes against the family’s principals.” Tieze said working on the character who is quite important, despite her limited stage time - has been a great challenge for her, and a way to learn about what makes a compelling character. Working with her daughter has been an interesting experience, Massaro said, because it allows both to see each other in a different light.
“As a parent I’m not sure that children always get to really see their parents do what they do, but she’s getting the chance to see me work here,” Massaro said. Tieze said that she finds her mother inspiring, and has a lot of respect for her, both as an artists and a strong woman, after seeing all the work she does. “It’s been really interesting to come from school straight here, because it’s a different environment, but I learn just as much here, so it’s just as valuable,” Tieze said. The family element that goes on behind the scenes mirrors what’s happening on stage. “There are so many generations in the show, that there’s really something for every age here,” Massaro said. Tieze added that part of the play’s draw lies in its relatability. “This is a show about something that everyone can or will one day relate to,” she said. “It’s a family that can be nasty and dysfuncitonal, but the audience is going to recognize each character within their own family.” For tickets and more information, call 720-898-7200 or visit www.arvadacenter. org.

Heritage senior’s life is whirlwind Torres balances athletics with many other activities By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Heritage High School senior Logan Torres now focuses on her efforts as a sprinter for the Eagles track team, but she still finds time to take voice lessons, model, prepare for pageants, ride her horse and develop her competitive figure skating talents. At the April 27 Liberty Bell Invitational, Torres ran the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash and was a member of the Eagles relay teams. In addition, she sang the national anthem a cappella. “I got started running track in middle school, decided to try it in high school, and I found running track is one of those addictive things that, once you get started, you can’t quit,” she said. “As for my music, I have been taking vocal lessons since I was a little girl. Originally I was going to be a theater major at School of the Arts. I transferred to Heritage, I joined the track team and I kept my music. I like to sing, and my favorite music to sing is classical works, a lot of Broadway songs and I love to sing opera.” Competing in pageants began as a child, she said. Torres said when she was little, she watched her cousin compete in pageants and told her mother she wanted to do it too. “I did quite a few pageants, I did pretty well and it was fun. Finally, last year, I won the Miss Colorado High School Teen title. That is one of those amazing, surreal feeling I can’t put into words,” she said. “As state winner, I went to nationals to represent our Colorado. Nationals were amazing and a little overwhelming. The event was held in Texas and that was good because we have family there and I had a lot of support.” She said this summer she’ll compete for the National American Miss Colorado Teen
Senior Logan Torres goes through track practice at Heritage High School. The sprinter also is a singer, figure skater, equestrian and pageant winner. Photo by Tom Munds title. She said hopefully that will earn her scholarships. She said her participation in pageants opened the door for her to begin modeling for a couple agencies. Torres said there is a month before her next pageants, so she should have time to prepare for it. However, she also has a long list of other activities to keep her busy, which will include spending a lot of time with her horse. “I have ridden and trained horses since I was little and I love it,” she said. “I own my own horse, an Arab-quarter horse cross. She is a line-back dun. She
is not old or far enough in her training to compete yet. But my baby is getting older and better trained, so competition is in the near future.” She said she is thinking about cross country competition because her horse is full of energy and she is very strong. “Riding is my alternative outlet,” Torres said. “I love running, but when you ride, you have a set of legs that aren’t yours and they are so strong. My horse and I have a special bond. I have raised her since she was a foal and she is like an extension of me.”
In addition to track, the talented athlete is also a competitive figure skater. “I like skating, and competitive figure skating requires a lot of the same talents as pageant competition,” she said. “Competing in figure skating and in pageants require you be athletic, present your program while maintaining your smile and your poise at all times.” As she wraps up her high school career, she said she is an A-B student and has taken a lot of advance placement tests, with plans to enroll in the University of Colorado at Boulder in the fall.
Warriors lose tough diamond battle in extra inning Mullen wins game, but Arapahoe still in line for playoff berth By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Dominating pitching, coupled with diving catches and heads-up defensive plays by both teams, eventually culminated in Mullen’s 2-1, extra-inning win over Arapahoe in April 30 Centennial League baseball action. The Warriors had an overall 11-6 record and a league mark of 8-4 following the April 30 game, which gave them a firm hold on third place in the league. They wrap up the regular season with two home games, May 2 against league leading Cherry Creek and a May 4 game against fourth-place Cherokee Trail. But there will be little time to relax as the Warriors will be seeded on the 32-team state district playoff bracket, with the first games scheduled to be played May 11. The top eight teams move to the double-elimination regional playoff May 17 and 18, with the Class 5A championship being decided May 24 and 25 at Denver’s All-City Stadium. “It has been a bit of an up-and-down season, like most of the league teams, and I
Andrei Williams slides safely into third base with a triple in the April 30 game against Mullen. Williams scored for Arapahoe but Mullen won the game 2-1 in eight innings. Photo by Tom Munds think a lot of that is due to the lack of practice time and the chance to play games because of the weather,” Warrior Coach Luke Muller said after the Mullen game. “It is always a major challenge when our players are not being able to work against good-caliber, live pitching. Our run production has been down, but otherwise we have played well. Our pitchers are throwing strikes and our defense has been solid. Then when we
hit the ball, we have been hitting it well and winning games.” He said the Mullen game was tough and immediately gave credit to Mustangs pitcher Nick Dipaola, who went the distance and limited Arapahoe to five hits. “He competed, threw strikes and got our guys out,” the coach said. “Our guys competed too, trying to time their swings. But we just didn’t get the bat on the ball for the
hits when we needed them to score runs.” Arapahoe got solid pitching from starter Corey Nevers, who gave up six hits but didn’t give up an earned run. He struck out three. The coach said he wasn’t surprised by the junior’s performance, because pitching has been a strong point all season. “We lose some of our starters on defense to graduation, but I think we’ll still be a good team next season,” he said. “We also have good junior pitchers and we do have good depth on the varsity. Plus we have a solid junior varsity. So, I expect some of those young players will challenge for varsity spots next season.” The April 30 Arapahoe-Mullen game was a classic pitchers’ duel, with Nevers on the mound for Arapahoe and Dipaola pitching for the Mustangs. Mullen scored first in the bottom of the third inning, pushing an unearned run across the plate, and Arapahoe tied it up in the top of the fourth inning. The Warriors’ only run of the game came when Ted Ramerez tripled and scored on an infield ground ball by Jason Bendell, who had the game’s only RBI and collected a pair of hits later in the contest. Both teams mounted scoring opportunities that didn’t pan out until the bottom of the eighth, when Mullen won the game on an RBI single by Robert Mitchell.

“Demographics and socioeconomics are an important predictor of health status,” he said. Arapahoe County’s heyday was the 1980s and 1990s, he said, with loads of families realizing it was a great place to raise kids. But those parents are now grandparents, and they’re aging in place, so senior care will obviously also be a priority in the coming years. The number of people 65 and older is increasing in the county by nearly 20 percent a year, said Lawton. They make up 11 percent of the total population today, and he predicts that number will be 13 percent within five
on this magnificent ecosystem. Norton is the author and photographer of over sixteen books ranging in topics from African Elephants to Siberia’s Lake Baikal. His recent Serengeti book has received acclaim from such notables as Jane Goodall. He has played a key role in establishing numerous wilderness areas in the Rocky Mountains, new national parks in Alaska, and in the designation of Siberia’s Lake Baikal as a World Heritage Site. Copies of Norton’s books will be available for purchase and signing. Call the library at 303-795-3961 for information.

At the other end of the spectrum, Lawton worries about obesity, particularly in kids. They’re growing less active, preferring video games and TV to the many parks and trails in the area. “That’s sad to say, especially in a population that’s proud of our active lifestyle,” he said. Kyle Legleiter of the Colorado Health Foundation advised those in the room to start the process by having a conversation about how they define health. “You need to know where you are starting from in Littleton and where do you want to go,” he said.
