Keeping eyes, and minds, on the road CDOT highlights growing problem of distracted driving By Tom Skelley tskelley@colorado communitymedia.com Nicolle Dowling of Centennial knows her distracted driving is a problem.

“I’m aware of it, but I need to do a better job of not doing it,” Dowling said. “Having the phone in my hand, whether it be for texting, talking, using navigation apps, getting information or just thinking I need to get information” — those are the things she sometimes does behind the wheel other than watching the road.

Dowling, 38, isn’t alone. A 2015 Colorado Department of Transportation survey shows one in four drivers admitted to reading a text message while behind the wheel during the previous week. The numbers are even higher for other forms of distraction, including eating.

Beckman cites her record in GOP race Ex-Arapahoe commissioner seeking seat in state House says she’s tackled red tape By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Former District 1 Arapahoe County Commissioner Susan Beckman says all the legislation she saw as a state employee led to her decision to run for a seat in the state House. “With 500 pieces of legislation a year, all of it has a cost, all of it impacts somewhere down the line,” the Littleton resident said. Beckman, who is married to Littleton Mayor Bruce Beckman, Beckman jumped into the House District 38 race late, but still managed to pick up 56.7 percent of the delegate vote at the Arapahoe County Republican assembly in March.

He’s a certified federal firearms instructor and has trained law enforcement officers, corporate personnel and citizens across the nation, according to a news release. Graham, director and lead instructor of the center, trains participants in how to protect themselves from a terrorist threat, active shooter and other aggressive encounters. Participants learn how to react quickly in dangerous scenarios through simulated experience and role playing. The hands-on training program is open to everybody, Abramson said, but primary contacts are from corporations, schools and churches.

Fiber optic plan targets tech needs

60-mile network will improve broadband services in Centennial

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Centennial’s fiber optic network — an underground infrastructure that sends data over long distances — could mean faster Internet for residents, businesses and community institutions within the next few years, city officials recently announced. “We are offering an information highway,” Councilmember Ken Lucas said. “Businesses, libraries and schools can connect their facilities to the fiber network — that’s what the design is all about. We are building a carrier network.” The $5.7 million Fiber Optic Master Plan was three years in the making. Its authors are Magellan Advisors, a broadband planning consulting firm, and the city’s Fiber Steering Committee, made up of Mayor Pro Tem C.J. Whelan, Lucas of District 3 and District 4 Councilmember Stephanie Piko. It will be at least two years before the infrastructure is completed. The plan calls for a fiber backbone

being laid throughout the city, said Tim Scott, the new director of fiber infrastructure. The backbone, or core infrastructure of underground dark fiber optic cable, can be compared to a regional airport with multiple airlines — it’s a government-funded infrastructure that private sectors use to provide services. If there is no airport, airlines cannot take passengers from point A to point B. If there is no fiber backbone, service providers can’t deliver fiber — or broadband Internet — to consumers. City officials view the network as essential for future opportunities. “We are going to build a carrier-grade fiber backbone all throughout the community,” Scott said, “and that provides the opportunity for others to be served by fiber — businesses, business parks, residents, and other public sites and offices.” The city began working on the plan in 2014 with phase one, in which city officials evaluated 40 miles of cityowned fiber that connects traffic signals, including streetlights, weather systems and video cameras, to city facilities. The “sophisticated” software lets officials change traffic lights remotely if problems arise, Lucas said. Phase two, a report completed in March that outlines the Fiber Master

Plan, determined what organizations would use the fiber network and created the network design, cost estimates, financial plan and roadmap for implementation. The final phase is engineering and constructing additional fiber. A schedule for when it will begin providing service will be based on funding and demand. The city will use the Fiber Master Plan to expand its network on a “year-by-year approach,” according to city officials. The city’s primary objective is to build the backbone infrastructure so that fiber is available for city and public uses, including school districts, fire departments, sheriff’s offices and libraries. In the future, the city will seek private sector providers to partner with to offer services. Public entities, including school districts, have expressed interest in the network, according to a city report, to enhance connectivity between schools, which increasingly use Internet learning. Public safety agencies, including the South Metro, Littleton and Cunningham fire departments, could benefit from higher connectivity speeds, improved communication and faster dispatch response time. South Metro Fire Rescue met with Centennial officials several months ago but has not signed or entered into any

agreements regarding the fiber-network, said public information officer Eric Hurst. “Depending on how the system is configured, there could be benefits to South Metro Fire Rescue both from a cost-saving perspective and potentially for faster data transfer,” he said. Healthcare sites could potentially connect to key health care clinics and easily share information, including records and files, Scott said. Or a homebound resident could be monitored remotely. “So those people don’t need to necessarily go to the health facility,” he said. “But that takes time — it’s a long-term goal.” The backbone is a step to becoming a “smart city,” which includes everything from healthcare interaction to education to traffic signals. It increases economic opportunity for the city, officials say. “I’m so excited about where we are going and how it’s going to bring so many opportunities for our citizens and businesses,” said Lucas, who was re-elected last year. “Going through elections, I wanted to see this through.” Whelan agreed. “Everyone here at the city is very excited about this — very enthusiastic,” he said. “This is leading-edge technology.”

Competency exam ordered for slaying suspect Kevin Lyons is accused of killing a Centennial doctor By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Lyons

Judge Carlos Samour Jr. ordered the Centennial man accused of killing his neighbor and injuring another

neighbor and his own wife to undergo a mental competency evaluation during an April 18 hearing. Kevin Lee Lyons, 46, is charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder in connection with the April 4 shooting that killed Dr. Kenneth Atkinson and injured Elizabeth Lyons and Laurie Juergens.

On April 12, Lyons’ defense attorneys informed the court of concerns they have regarding his competency to stand trial, leading to a postponement of a hearing set for the next day. Lyons has denied in court several times that public defender James Karbach represents him. He is accused of shooting his wife

inside their house in the Homestead Farm II subdivision before shooting Juergens and Atkinson outside. Neighbors said that Atkinson was attempting to intervene when he was shot. He was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly after the shooting. Lyons is scheduled to appear in court again on May 31.

Survivors, advocates honored Awards ceremony was ﬁrst for the 18th Judicial District

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Courage was the theme at the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office’s first Distinguished Crime Victim Service Awards, held at Two Penguins Tap and Grill in Centennial. “These are phenomenal people, “ said District Attorney George Brauchler. “There’s no way we could do what we do without them.” Many awards given at the April 14 ceremony were centered around the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. James Holmes was sentenced last year to life in prison for murdering 12 people. Among those recognized for their efforts during the tragedy and the trial: Embassy Suites Denver Tech, Aurora Police Department victim advocate Rusty Cain, the Aurora Police Department first responders, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office court services deputies and court facility dog volunteers Alyce Blevins and Kateri Nelson. “We were in hell,” said Maria Carbonell, a theater-shooting survivor. “I remember having a conversation with a victim advocate from (the Aurora Police Department) and she had a way about her. Just the way she would talk to me — she wasn’t afraid, she was strong. And for me, I really needed that at that time.” Four survivors of various crimes, whose names were withheld for safety reasons, were also recognized at the ceremony for their courage. One young survivor of child sexual assault was praised for her resilience and courage in revisiting a tragedy from her youth. Her testimony helped put the predator in prison after he became a repeat offender. The awards ceremony was held in conjunction with National Crime

Therapy center for youths moves to Highlands Ranch

By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com Noah Leonard, 9, has been going to Children’s Hospital Colorado Therapy Care in Littleton since he was 2. The facility moved from Littleton to Highlands Ranch on April 4, and Noah will continue going twice a week for learning therapy. He and his parents are pleased with the new location, which has “supersized” rooms, playful wall décor and patterned floors. “It’s a lot roomier and more cheerful,” said Noah’s mother, Amy. “He loves everything about it.” Therapy Care, Highlands Ranch, at 9139 Ridgeline Blvd., is part of Children’s Hospital Colorado Pediatric Mental Health Institute. The 27,600-square-foot facility is significantly larger and nicer than its previous location, said senior vice president Suzy Jaeger, chief patient experience and access officer. “It has outpatient behavioral and developmental health services,” she said. “We see it as an extension of South Campus.” Children’s Hospital Colorado South Campus, at 1811 Plaza Drive, offers urgent, hospital and specialist care among other services. It’s minutes away from Therapy Care, Highlands Ranch. Therapy Care expanded its psychiatry and psychology services and added developmental pediatrics and neuropsychology. It also offers audiology, learning services, occupational therapy,

Best said foundation money goes to fund opportunities for students in the district, such as new programs and technology like computers for STEM centers in the middle schools. “Each one of you helped open a door for a student or a teacher and they gladly stepped through it,” Best told the donors. Auction items included private beer tastings from Breckenridge and a Broncos package with tickets to a home game and a tour of the team’s training facility. The Spirit Dinner was the first for Superintendent Brian Ewert, who took over prior to this school year. Ewert praised the foundation as a partner of the district. “As Colorado faces budget issues and unfunded mandates, your support through the Littleton Public Schools Foundation is more important than ever,” he said.

The group-like setting teaches typical routines and activities, such as cooking, said Hutchinson. The additional space in Children’s Hospital Colorado Therapy Care, Highlands Ranch makes all the difference, said Jaeger. “We are excited to see the services it offers the community,” she said.

Despite snowy weather, hundreds of people showed up for the annual Spirit Dinner to help the Littleton Public Schools Foundation raise money to augment the school district’s funding. Those who bought a ticket and came to the April 16 event were rewarded with dinner, beer tasting and pairing by Breckenridge Brewery, music from That Eighties Band and opportunities to bid on items in both a silent and live auction.

ASRTC is the first in the state and third in the nation to use the military’s “Close Quarters Defense,” developed by tactical trainer Duane Dieter and used by Navy SEALs. The program “provides the highest-quality tactical training services and personal development skills to security professionals and vetted citizens of our nation,” according to the Close Quarters Defense website. In the center’s five-day training program, participants acquire unarmed defense skills, de-escalation techniques, pistol safety, armed responsibility, situational awareness, live-fire safety and training in moving with a firearm, among others. Participants must complete a final training exercise where the situation is as real as possible, said Graham. “One of the most important things people need to know about situations like this is that response time is about nine minutes,” he said. “Active-shooter scenarios have about a two- to three-minute time frame.” The program offers sustainment training — two-hour, quarterly sessions for the following year so participants can maintain skills. The goal isn’t to transform individuals into soldiers or

Beckman faces a Republican challenge, though. She and Mike Williams of Centennial are on the ballot for the June 28 primary. The winner will face Democrat Robert Bowen of Centennial in the general election in November. Another Littleton Republican, Kathleen Conti, currently holds the seat, but has decided to run for county commissioner. District 38 includes west Centennial and most of Littleton, as well as Bow Mar and Columbine Valley. Beckman is banking on her experience as a commissioner and later overseeing construction and maintenance projects for the state to win the election, but pointed out that she also has private-sector experience in restaurant management. “I was testifying at the joint budget committee and the capital development committee with my director’s position at the state and spending a lot of time in the Legislature, watching, and really felt that it was time to move into something and serve this community in a way that I could be effective,” she said. Beckman said state lawmakers pass a lot of legislation without understanding how it affects businesses, taxpayers and local governments. “I’ve had experience in peeling back rules and regulations,” she said. “This would be a good opportunity for me to serve in a Legislature and bring some of my experience and voting record. Beckman cites an example from her county commissioner days of repealing what she says were redundant and burdensome child-welfare regulations. “None of them were related to safety,” she said. “It was bureaucracy and red tape.” Beckman says that she has the experience necessary to work on the budget and leverage money for infrastructure projects. She believes the state has overly strict oil and gas regulations. She also pledges to work to keep taxes down. The district also has to take care of its aging population,” she said. “(We have) a senior population that is growing very quickly,” she said. “And we have to prepare for that, and make sure that they can live comfortably in this district.” Beckman said she would work in the House to protect the rights of her constituents. “It’s not necessarily about getting legislation done,” she said. “It’s about making sure that legislation that is introduced is responsive to the needs of District 38 and not some liberal agenda from Washington.”

Victim’s family urges help Police probe shooting that killed one, injured another By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jaime Villarreal’s mother remembers how much he loved the Denver Broncos. His fiancee remembers how much he loved his two children. His little brother remembers going fishing with him. “We had our whole life planned out,” Natasha Espinoza said through tears on April 13. “And in a matter of minutes it’s gone.” Villarreal, 23, a Thornton resi-

dent, was shot to death early the morning of March 18 in an office building parking lot in the 8000 block of Southpark Lane. Another man was injured. The Ford pickup that Villarreal, of Thornton, was using to plow parking lots was found burned and abandoned nearby. No arrests have been made, but the Littleton Police Department has been searching for two suspects. Espinoza, Villarreal’s fiancee and the mother of his 2-year-old daughter, Leah, pleaded for the public’s help in finding the people responsible for his death. She was joined at a press conference at the Littleton Center by Villarreal’s mother, Erica Villarreal, his 11-year-old brother, Javen,

and Kylie Blei, the mother of his 3-year-old son, Landon. Erica Villarreal said that her son had recently earned his commercial driver’s license and was eager to follow in the footsteps of his father and uncles, pursuing a career as a car hauler. He was waiting until he was old enough to be insured. “Everyone that came in contact with Jaime just fell in love with him,” she said. “I mean from schoolmates to teachers to coaches to his co-workers.” Villarreal’s mother unfurled a quilt that her sister made, featuring pictures of her son with friends; with family members; with his kids; wearing a Broncos jersey.

“

Everyone that came in contact with Jaime just fell in love with him .”

“This is Jaime,” she said. “This is who he was. He was an amazing son.” Blei said that Villarreal was a devoted father to both of his children. “The love that he shared with his kids was more real than any love I’ve ever known,” she said. Javen Villarreal said that his older brother was always there for him. “Jaime was an amazing brother,” he said. Cpl. Rick Redmond of the Littleton Police Department said

Cross-fit idea not just about fitness So I have several buddies of mine who have really gotten into cross-fit training over the past few years. They range in age from their early 20s to a couple of my close friends who are in their 50s. And research tells me there are people of all ages and generations who have adopted some form of cross-fit. including teenagers and people well beyond their 50s. If you are unfamiliar with cross-fit training you can look up the definition on Wikipedia just like I did and you will find that it is a physical fitness workout system that incorporates multiple forms of exercises and techniques. It can include high-intensive interval training, Olympic weightlifting, plyometrics, powerlifting, gymnastics, kettlebell lifting, calisthenics, strongman and other exercises. Now one of my buddies, Mark Foley, who hails from Boston, is one of those guys who has really gotten into this form of training. He trains at a “box,” the cross-fit term for a gym, that his nephew owns near Boston. Mark is in phenomenal shape for a man at any age. But the best thing about Mark’s phenomenal shape is not his physical conditioning, it is his philosophy and approach toward cross-fit in all areas of life. A cross-fit WOD, or Workout of the Day, could take up to an hour of committed time. There are 23 more hours in each day that are

typically filled with activities and tasks that sometimes consume us and rob us of the opportunity to spend time working on all facets and areas of our lives. You see, just like cross-fit includes multiple forms of exercise and movements, our lives are made up of a Michael Norton multitude of roles and activities such as famWINNING ily life, careers, social, WORDS recreation, financial, spiritual, health, community, and things that educate and motivate us. My buddy Mark has tried to get me to join the cross-fit craze for the past few years, and I have resisted. That is, I have resisted the physical fitness form of cross-fit. I completely subscribe to being cross-fit for life and in all areas of life. And although it takes time, commitment, and dedication to make the time for all areas of life, it is well worth the investment in yourself, your family, your friends, and your future. The all-too-familiar phrase, “I would do it if I only had more time,” is just an excuse. Because we all have the same amount of

minutes and hours in each day, it’s about how we choose to use them. Easier said than done? Maybe, but if we start somewhere and find just a few minutes each day to focus on some part of our lives that have been neglected or compromised, I can assure you that the outcome and result will far outweighs effort and time that you will invest. And here’s the other thing: Maybe we can’t do something each and every day of our lives that supports each and every aspect of our lives, but on balance, if we looked back over the course of a week and could see where we spent pockets of time working on our mind, body, and spirit, and where we spent precious time focused on our family and friends, and how we used our time most productively at work, we will begin to see all of the benefits of being cross-fit for life. How about you? Are you working too much, traveling too much, consumed with too many distractions and not enough time for yourself and your family? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we start spending just a little bit more time on and in all aspects of life, it really will be a better than good week.

Column only tells half the story Ann Healey’s column on the Republican presidential campaign may indeed have a lesson for us in how not to run a campaign. But in all fairness, I would look forward to a companion column on the Democratic campaign and those candidates in order to provide a fair and balanced portrayal of the current campaign. For example, she should cover the illegal dealings and numerous lies conducted by Hillary Clinton. The article should cover her gross misuse and illegal use of classified emails, her misuse of foreign countries “donations” and her extremely vulgar language. I agree that this has been an extremely horrible presidential campaign, but this includes actions and speeches from both parties. Jim Young Parker Employers have upper hand in process A day hardly goes by without a news story of how great the jobs market is in Colorado. I agree it’s great — for the employers. For the average “good paying” job (definition: substantially more than minimum wage), many employers are receiving anywhere from 100-150 resumes. I know this because I have asked them. To me at least, those numbers indicate there are many people looking for good jobs, and the employers have a lot of choices. For those who have not had to seek new employment for many years, it can come as a shock how time consuming and cumbersome this process has become. Employers (mostly the large corporations) now require you to “register” with their employment database, which includes repeating information that is on a resume, then hopefully an over-the-phone interview, and then an in-person interview. This entire process can take up a total of three or four hours, or more, per application. This is a lot of time to end up just being rejected. Perhaps it’s time that corporate employers realize that job seekers’ time is valuable too — and streamline their process to respect candidates’ time as well as their own. Barb Adams Parker

Collection could end from collecting dust A raccoon named Teddy sat on a rare copy of “Stormy Weather” by the Five Sharps. Teddy cracked the record. Apparently it’s a lousy version of a great song, but the fact that it’s rare has made it highly valued. That makes no sense to me. There may be only four copies of the record in existence. But if it’s bad, all the better. But some collectors don’t think like I do. A copy of the record that Teddy did not sit on might go for $10,000 at auction. Help me with the logic, if you can. I watch a show called “Pawn Stars.” People bring in some pretty odd items that fetch a lot of money. Someone brought in the record that Teddy sat on. People bring in autographs. The autographs of famous people, like Abraham Lincoln and Babe Ruth, can sell for tens of thousands of dollars. Be honest. Do you have any autographs in the house?

What’s a Peyton Manning worth? I wouldn’t know what to do with it. Frame it? Put it in a safety deposit box? If Manning wrote me a check, I’d be delighted to have his autograph. Otherwise, no. I’ve heard that Craig Marshall Smith Lincoln’s autograph is the most highly QUIET DESPERATION prized. Not by me. Again, what would I do with it? I guess I could have people over, and we could look at it, and tell stories about Lincoln. Smith continues on Page 11

Wealth of uncertainty as election year unfolds The first quarter of the 2016 election year is complete. But, I can’t say much was accomplished. The stock market remains flat, economic growth is on hold and we still don’t know who will be on the ballot come November. I always think it helps to understand the reasons behind why things are the way they are. Maybe if we can find some logic in the situation, it will help us deal with the uncertainty. And that is the key word … uncertainty. Investments are down because the markets don’t like ambiguity. We expect our jobs, pocketbooks and nest eggs to improve over time. But for that to happen, something bigger has to take place. The world economy also has to increase. We can see the pattern now. Our credit markets collapsed in 2008, Europe’s credit crisis hit in 2011 and China’s attempt to avoid a crisis curbed their growth in 2015. Now that our financial world includes the entire globe, these things matter more than they used to. The reasons are many but we can start with earnings in honor of first-quarter

My favorite Lincoln story was his response to someone who said he was two-faced. “If I were, would I have chosen this one?” I can promise you that there will not be any intentional humor in the next White House. There will be plenty of unintended humor. David Letterman may want to come out of retirement. Have you seen him lately? Full, scraggly beard. He looks like a bum, and he probably loves it. He was expected to be a sharp dresser every night for years.

reporting season. A company reports earnings based on product sales and revenue. Ideally, these will not only outpace their overhead, but improve over time and increase the company’s value. That’s Patricia Kummer where you come in, as a stockFINANCIAL you want STRATEGIES holder, appreciation. When two-thirds of the world is in an economic dearth, it is hard to sell more to those who have less. As a result, earnings have gone south the last two quarters and are expected to be low again this quarter. It feels like we have been in limbo for nine years. The meaning of “long-term” just got even longer. We got spoiled a bit in 2012 and 2013 when Quantitative Eas-

ing fueled the potential for growth that has not yet occurred. Now the markets are adjusting prices for what stocks are really worth in this environment. This makes us unhappy and unhappy people want something to change. That’s where the election comes in. Voters cannot make up their minds what they want or who they want to solve our wealth of problems. Usually when change is needed, the pendulum swings wide to overcompensate. Hence we have significant differences between the extreme left and right, depending on the issues. This creates more uncertainty (and a lot of terrible ads in the media). Jerry Webman, chief economist for Oppenheimer Funds, states that it is the economy that dictates the election, not the other way around. He also said, “Hating the government is not an investment strategy.” Statistics show that you would have lost money trying to vote with your investment dollars in previous election years. The economic engine worldwide is what dictates growth and returns. The amount of debt global economies are

carrying will need to be reduced through future growth and higher demands over time. Meanwhile, watch for opportunities: Improvement in China and progress in Europe through support from their Central Bank. If their growth is anywhere close to what happened in the United States during our easy money policy years, they (and we as investors) could be in for nice advances in stock prices around the world. In turn this should help fuel our home-based companies for stronger earnings in future quarters.

He probably goes unrecognized in New York now. I don’t own many rarities. I do have a very early Crickets album. Before they became Buddy Holly and the Crickets. But I don’t have anything to play it on. So what good is it doing me? And it’s in the basement. That’s where my archives are. The Some Day Archives, I call them. Someday I am going to look at them. Will someday ever come? Our homes are full of souvenirs and mementos and scrapbooks. Computers have made it possible to save a lot of things very conveniently. But I have files on my screen that I rarely open. Now and then I will get sentimental, and open a file, like Jennifer’s, and reminisce. (We are no longer together.)

I open my father’s file at least once a month. And Badger’s. She was the dachshund ahead of Smitty, and the first individual who ever depended upon me. When I see that a natural disaster or a fire has destroyed a home, I always wonder about the possessions that were lost. The keepsakes. My basement flooded in 2003 when I was out of town. Half of my archives were lost. For a while, I was heartbroken.

Now I cannot remember exactly what I lost. I started over, but I no longer keep as much. Because I know that someday may never come. “Can’t go on, everything I had is gone. Stormy weather.” It’s not true.

History: Construction on the church began in February 1912 and the building held its first gathering on June 14, 1912. A formal dedication followed on May 25, 1913. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is recognized by the Town of Parker as a landmark. It is the first church built in Parker.

he sun streamed through the windows of Ruth Memorial Chapel in Parker on a warm spring morning, casting beams of light across the sanctuary as people hugged, talked and greeted each other. As two men picked up the instruments and played a soft call to worship, the congregants took their seats in the pews, bobbing and swaying to the tune. As a woman began singing and the congregation joined in, the old, historic space came alive, like a photograph changing from black and white to color. After the song and applause ended, the Rev. Marilyn Lewis of the Center for Spiritual Living greeted members and newcomers alike. “We honor you no matter what spiritual path you are on,” she said, inviting first-time visitors to raise their hands so they could receive flowers, a welcome packet and another round of applause. To some it may seem odd to hear Buddhist singing bowls or readings from the “Tao of Pooh” in a church designed by Protestants more than a century ago. To Lewis and her congregation, the chapel is home. “We like to say that we believe in new thought with ancient wisdom,” Lewis said. “It’s wonderful to be in a historic church. It’s all God.” The Center for Spiritual Living, or CSL, is a nondenominational church that combines the tenets of many faiths. The church follows the teachings of Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed and other spiritual leaders as well as philosophers such as Plato and Deepak Chopra. Lewis said CSL believes in a common thread running through all

The name: The church is named after Dr. Walter Heath’s daughter, Ruth, who died young. Dr. Heath donated land for the construction of the church and died suddenly just after construction began.

The Ruth Memorial Chapel sits at 19650 East Mainstreet in Parker. The chapel hosts the Center for Spiritual Living’s Sunday services each week. major religions. “We honor all faiths, all paths to God,” Lewis said. “Instead of seeing God as an old man in the sky who decides what some people should have and what others shouldn’t have, we believe that God created a world of good, beauty and love … He wants us to enjoy the beauty in the world.” A special space Suzanne Velasquez is charged with preserving the beauty of the chapel for the Parker Area Historical Society, which is responsible for the building’s upkeep. On a tour of the building a few days before a recent Sunday service, she pulled a rope hanging from the ceiling to ring the church’s bell. The sound that has announced church services and weddings since 1912 still rings clearly

over a century later. Velasquez smiled and described the ambience of the iconic building in the heart of the town. “There’s definitely something special about anyone who chooses this space,” Velasquez said. “Just the number of people who’ve come through here and worshipped here over the last 100 plus years... This is a special little gem. A lot of the people who I see come through here… appreciate the feeling such an old building gives.” Evonne Levy, who has has been with CSL for 10 years, appreciates that feeling. As a practicioner, she leads meditation and prayers during CSL services. “It’s a sacred space,” Levy said. “There’s something very spiritual about (the chapel), a feeling of home. I hear people all the time saying that they love it.” The small building and its congrega-

tion of approximately 73 worshippers draw a sharp contrast to the so-called “megachurches” throughout the south metro area. Lewis said large churches, particularly the ones in Parker, do many wonderful things. Her “spiritual family” simply seeks a more intimate experience “Some people love the megachurches, other people like the smaller churches” like CSL, Lewis said. “We get to know each other quickly.” All seekers welcome One might expect a church with such a modern approach to attract only young, “New Age” types, decked out in Church continues on Page 13

MORE ON THE CENTER FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING Founder: Ernest Holmes. Holmes, born in 1887, grew up in Maine and was a lover of the outdoors. In 1926 he wrote “The Science of the Mind,” which contains foundational principles of the CSL. Holmes formed the Religious Science church, the precursor to the CSL. Beliefs: The CSL promotes a belief in “new thought combined with ancient wisdom.” Simply put, church members believe that science and faith work together to create the world around us and scientific principles prove spiritual beliefs. Members believe in prayer, positive thinking and many of the beliefs taught in Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and other major religions. Locations: The church has 400 locations around the world in more than 30 countries in Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. Home office: 573 Park Point Drive, Golden Parker office: 19731 Pikes Peak Ave., Suite G-2 Services: Every Sunday at 10 a.m. at Ruth Memorial Chapel More information and contact: cslparker. org

Birkenstocks and tie-dye. In fact, the worshippers at CSL reflect a variety of ages, backgrounds and prior religious affiliations. Other than the possible exception of a member in a Colorado Rockies jersey, they look the same as any other church’s congregation. Levy said many of the group’s mem-

bers practiced Judaism and Christianity before joining a church that celebrates aspects of all of those faiths. She appreciates that CSL respects all religions and faiths, and that the church takes a modern approach to seeking God. “We’re not wearing sandals anymore,” Levy said. “We do things to make (God) real for us today.” Bob Collins, a board member at CSL, was one of the members who helped select Ruth Memorial Chapel as the CSL’s place of worship. He said in an email that the building’s traditional ap-

pearance helps new members make the transition to a new way of worship. “Our faith welcomes all spiritual seekers,” Collins said. “The backdrop of a traditional chapel comforts many who arrive … There is a comfort that we are seeking a stronger, personal relationship with God in the same place of many who came before us.” Velasquez said maintenance issues at the chapel don’t arise often. The most common problem is air conditioning breaking down during summer weddings. New stairs are needed to con-

tinue to welcome wedding parties and worshippers. The chapel’s foundation is sturdy, but it will need some restoration to remain so. The CSL’s foundation is strong too, Lewis said, and as the congregation grows it will eventually need a larger space to accommodate them. “At some point we’re going to outgrow it,” she said. But for now, Lewis and her fellow worshippers like Collins are grateful to be where they are each Sunday. “We always say ‘welcome home,’” he said. “We’ve been waiting for you.”

‘Rembrandt Room’ is art for art’s sake Buntport one-woman show focuses on museum guard

Erin Rollman plays a museum guard who alternates explanations of paintings with instructions such as “Please stay two feet away” in the Rembrandt gallery at the Hermitage, in Buntport Theater’s original play, “The Rembrandt Room.” Courtesy photo

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lights go up on a large painting of a reclining nude and a uniformed museum guard, played by the versatile and always engaging Erin Rollman of Buntport Theater’s collaborative quintet of actors, writers and directors, who create all the company’s original material. Soon she’s off on a spiel about the painting. The painter Rembrandt’s wife, Saskia, was the model, but the face is that of Geertje, Rembrandt’s lover, hired to care for the couple’s baby son Titus. She stayed on after Saskia died while Titus was still very small and beyond. (The painter couldn’t remarry if he wanted to inherit Saskia’s money.) “Please stay two feet away from the paintings at all times …”

The painting (1836) is of Danae, the mother of Perseus, we are told. She is reaching up toward Zeus, who will impregnate her with a shower of golden specks … A shadowy figure lurking outside the entrance to the room is a man with a fist full of paintbrushes — one of

Rembrandt’s numerous self-portraits. “The bathrooms are off the stairs to the left …” Rollman continues to combine comedy and flashes of humor for about 90 minutes as she lectures about history — Katherine the Great owned the painting

IF YOU GO “The Rembrandt Room” plays through April 30 at Buntport Theater, 717 Lipan St., Denver. Performances: 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays. Tickets: buntport.com.

and we learn tidbits about the legendary Russian monarch as well as the information that a man had slashed the painting with a knife at one point and it took 12 years to repair it. Every so often a scratchy radio sputters to life with a message to the guard — or her phone rings … But for almost 90 minutes, this inventive actress entertains the audience with a mix of mythology, history and goofiness. Buntport fans and those looking for something new and different will want to visit the “Rembrandt Room” soon.

Church arts festival spans two weekends Littleton event includes performance of ‘Elijah’ By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorad ocommunitymedia.com For 23 years the arts-oriented members of Littleton United Methodist Church have organized a free spring arts festival to share with the community, including visual arts and performing arts — music and theater. The 2016 festival has expanded to two weekends with the 2 p.m. performance of Felix Mendelssohn’s massive oratorio, “Elijah,” on April 24. It will have a 70-voice choir, soloists and an orchestra. (See story that ran April 14.) Visual artists will display their work in the fellowship hall on the second weekend, opening at 6 p.m. April 29 prior to “Steel Magnolias”; continuing April 30 (1:30 p.m. before “Steel Magnolias” and 6:30 p.m. before “Reel Time: Songs of the Cinema” by Voices West); and Sunday (during 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. worship services and at 2 and 7 p.m. before “Steel Magnolias.” “Steel Magnolias” by Robert Harling is about women and friendship and touches on mother/daughter relationships, gays, male/female relationships, the single person, divorce and marriage issues, director Annawyn Shamas observed — all appropriate topics for discussions in a church-sponsored program. Harling is said to have created the play after his sister died of diabetes following birth of a

Magical story takes place with minimal props Enjoyably silly production works wonderfully well

IF YOU GO “Peter and the Starcatcher” plays through May 14 at BDT Stage, 5501 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder. Performances: Wednesdays through Sundays. For tickets and times, see bdtstage. com or call 303-449-6000.

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Gradually, as lights go up, a crew moves in rope, some wood and a pair of old trunks. The magic begins as the energized ensemble, directed and choreographed by Nick Sugar, spins a highly imaginative story with minimal set and props at BDT Stage (formerly Boulder Dinner Theatre), where “Peter and the Starcatcher” runs until May 14. It’s described as a play with music, rather than a musical, and Neal Dunfee on piano and Nick Gnojek on drums weave a musical story throughout the 20 scenes from a high perch. A gold Victorian frame surrounds the stage, which is bare

Jack Barton as Peter, Scott Beyette as pirate Black Stache and Wayne Kennedy as Smee in BDT Stage’s production of “Peter and the Starcatcher.” The play at BDT Stage in Boulder is choreographed and directed by Nick Sugar.

able orphan boys are sold to the pirate captain Black Stache and stowed below. Scott Beyette is delightful as the flighty pirate with the fake-looking handlebar moustache. Wayne Kennedy gleefully plays his right-hand man, Smee. Jack Barton plays the sad, unnamed boy who will become Peter as the magic of a friendship with Molly develops. Fastmoving Sarah Grover plays Molly Aster, the friendless daughter of Lord Aster, who gets the pitiful

boys up and moving and dares to sass the not-so-fierce pirate captain — and also introduces the gentle concept of bedtime stories. Lord Aster (Brian Burron) is to be ambassador to Randoon and is appropriately stuffy as he embarks on the other ship. One of the two trunks goes on each ship, with one containing starstuff. Reminiscent of Monty Python silliness, the convoluted tale moves along through shipwreck, a bevy of mermaids (who brought great hilarity among the little girls seated next to us), Mollusk Island where the Fighting Prawn (Matt Gnojek) holds forth and an eventual parting … which sets the stage for Peter Barrie’s “Peter Pan” classic. It all works wonderfully well and is a delightful theater experience for adults as well as kids. (10 and older recommended.)

Goalie gets a kick out of success

Arapahoe’s Kyle Mackey, left, ignores the Heritage defender’s effort as the Warrior midfielder presses an attack during the April 12 non-league boys lacrosse game. The Warriors scored six goals in three minutes as they went on to win the game, 18-5. Photo by Tom Munds

Warriors beat rival Heritage Arapahoe earns 18-5 lacrosse victory over Eagles By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The April 12 ArapahoeHeritage boys lacrosse game started out as a seesaw battle, and the score was tied 3-3 early in the second quarter. But Arapahoe scored six goals in a little more than three minutes as the Warriors went on to record an 18-5 nonleague win over the Eagles.

“Arapahoe has a long history of success in boys lacrosse and I inherited a good, strong foundation when I took over as head coach this year,” Warriors coach Logan Bobzien said. “Our strength is the middle of the field, good depth and we have players who can win the faceoffs. Winning faceoffs was a plus for us tonight, which helped get the attacks started that resulted in goals for us.” Heritage coach Jon Cohen said his young team played tough, particularly early in the game. “The score was 3-3, then we can’t win a faceoff and

suddenly we are behind 12-3,” he said. “But we are a young team, starting three freshmen and four sophomores. We are strong offensively and we’ll grow, gain the valuable game experience and get better and better.” Key moments The game got started on time but lightning in the area resulted in a 45-minute delay. Both teams came out playing strong, aggressive lacrosse. The turning point came early in the second quarter when Arapahoe began to win every faceoff. The

Warriors either scooped up the ball or pushed it ahead to a teammate who then started to press the attack. Arapahoe won 22 of the game’s 27 faceoffs. The 3-3 tie just after the end of the first period quickly tilted in favor of the Warriors as they scored repeatedly to build a 9-3 halftime lead that grew to 16-5 by the end of the third period. Warriors coaches took advantage of the lead to make frequent substitutions and get younger players into the game. Warriors continues on Page 26

Heritage leads way in Continental League Eagles, Rock Canyon, Regis Jesuit dominate league tournaments By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Three teams are dominating the Continental League girls golf leaderboard after the three tournaments that have been held so far this season. Heritage has won two of those league tourneys. Defending Class 5A state champion Regis Jesuit won the other event, and Rock Canyon, last season’s runner-up in the rain-shortened, one-day state tournament, has been a contender, finishing third. All three teams should be contenders at regional tournaments that will be held May 9-13 and at the Class 5A state tourney at Aurora’s Common Ground Golf Course on May 23 and 24. Heritage, led by sophomore Gabby Esquibel, who fashioned a 4-over-par 76, captured the team title April 14 at the Highlands Ranch Golf course during the Heather Cho Memorial Tournament. The Eagles, with rounds of 77 from Joanna Kempton and Delaney Benson,

Sophomore Gabby Esquibel carded a 76 to lead Heritage to the win in the Heather Cho Memorial golf tournament held April 14 at the Highlands Ranch Golf Club. The Eagles finished at 311. Photo by Jim Benton finished with an aggregate of 311 followed by Regis at 318 and Rock Canyon at 340. “My round went really well,” Esquibel said. “I felt I was striking it well and my short game was definitely on. So far, this was my best round of the season. “If we are all on our games, we can definitely play with any team out there. All of us can shoot in the 70s. Going against Regis is a big task to take on. I’m so proud of my team.” Regis seems to have the depth

needed to be strong in the regional and state tournaments. Heritage and Rock Canyon need to get contributions from fourth and fifth golfers to be in the hunt for state honors. Besides Esquibel, Kempton and Benson, Heritage will be looking for Kendra George and Hattie Poole shoot scores to help in the team standings. Rock Canyon’s Alexis Chan and Amelia Lee have been consistent leaderboard contenders and the Jaguars have a good third player in Brandy McClain with Naura Tagiya, Brooklyn Murphy and Rachel Mellett also working hard to be factors in the team scoring. “Right now in most of our tournaments we’ve been missing one of our top players,” said Rock Canyon coach Dave Vahling. “In the Cho tournament we were missing our number three player (McClain). When we had them all with us, we won the Valor Invitational. “With Heritage and Regis being real solid teams, it will be real close with us three in the league. All three schools have three top-notch players and the fourth you never know what you are going to get each week. Last year we kind of jelled the last two weeks of the season. Hopefully we will jell this season. There’s a lot of competition. Grandview also has a real solid team.’’

Caela McCartney, a sophomore at Ralston Valley, plays the mellophone in the marching band and is a black belt in taekwondo. And she’s one of the Jefferson County League’s leading lacrosse goalies — after only playing in goal for nine games. As a youngster, I tried taekwondo, but for only two weeks. McCartney has been a fixture at the Colorado Taekwondo Institute and it has helped her become a standout goalie. McCartney went out for the team as a freshman. She played in the field until volunteering to play Jim Benton goalie for the final OVERTIME two games of the 2015 junior varsity season. That was a position she liked and with hard work, she has excelled in seven varsity games this season. She leads the league with a 5.7 goals against average and is tied for first with a .500 saves percentage. “Taekwondo has helped,” she said. “In taekwondo, we work on reaction. Like in sparring… you are supposed to react back, and that kind of helps with finding the ball and reacting to it. Goalies have like a crouch position and we use that a lot in taekwondo. That helps with the positioning.” McCartney said her success as a goalie is a little surprising but also credits other players for helping the Mustangs get off to a 6-1 start. “All field players have importance and goalies are more of a backup,” she said. “In my case the defense is really good. If my defense doesn’t block the ball or stop the girl from shooting, then I’m the backup. It’s kind of like being a quarterback in football. I’m there to help direct the defense.” State’s best swimming times Prepswim.co released its team and individual rankings for high school boys swimmers on April 12. Cherry Creek was the second-ranked team in Class 5A behind Fossil Ridge. Arapahoe was fifth, Heritage sixth, Highlands Ranch eighth and Ponderosa ninth. Valor Christian was third in the 4A rankings, with Golden fourth and Wheat Ridge seventh. Several swimmers from the area have turned in the state’s best times. Arapahoe junior Griffin Eiber has the best Class 5A times of 21.12 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle and 46.02 in the 100 freestyle. Michael Hinton, a Heritage senior who will be swimming at Boston College next season, has recorded the top times in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events with 1:42.22 and 4:43.03 performances. Gabriele Sasia, a senior who swims for Highlands Ranch, has the best 5A 100— yard backstroke time of 50.70 while the 1:54.52 by Heritage senior Patrick Kelly in the 200-yard individual medley is the state’s best time so far. Golden junior Daric Sundeen swam a 54.62 in the 100 backstroke which is the leading time in Class 4A and Valor Christian freshman Casey Fellow racked up 498.45 points in diving to top the 4A charts. Green Mountain graduate on U.S. team Green Mountain graduate and Lindenwood University senior Nicole Hensley is one of three goalies selected to play on the U.S. Women’s National hockey team.

Son follows in firefighting footsteps 14 students take part in ﬁre science program By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com For ThunderRidge High School senior Evan Davros, walking into a burning building with his father has always been a dream. He got his chance April 11 as part of the culmination of his time in the Douglas County Fire Science program. Davros and other students fought a simulated fire at the South Metro Fire Rescue Training Center in Parker. “It’s cool having my dad there,” Davros said. “It’s kind of surreal really. I grew up in the firehouse. I would see him go on calls and stuff, and now to actually be there is fantastic.” Davros’ father, Tom, is a firefighter for South Metro. He has worked as a firefighter for 18 years and as an EMT for 20. “The firehouse is all he’s ever known since he was an infant,” said Evan’s mom, Tina. “We would do the kid swap at the firehouse. My husband would be getting off and I would be going to work. That’s where he grew up.” Davros was part of the year-long course run through Rock Canyon High School and in conjunction with South Metro Fire, Littleton Fire Rescue and the Douglas County School District. This year’s program consisted of 14 students from six different high schools: Rock Canyon, ThunderRidge, Mountain Vista, Douglas County and Legend. There were also two students from Arapahoe High School in Littleton. Students learn emergency medical care, hazmat and ice rescue, as well as traditional firefighting skills. “It’s an amazing experience, especially to see the youth have such passion for this line of work. Right here we are breeding the next generation of firefighters,”

Tom Davros said. “Every other professional firefighter I talk to says the same thing: ‘Why wasn’t this around when I was coming up?’” Former firefighter George Piccone is the instructor of the fire science program and an employee of the school district. “They spend a year with me before they get to this point,” Piccone said. “Before they get into this building, they’re ready for it. They’re ready to fight a fire.” Fire students earn dual credit and are enrolled as students at Red Rocks Community College during the program. Piccone said the students who graduate from the program have an advantage when it comes to getting jobs in the field. “In one of the most competitive fields there is right now, fire, they really get a major leg up on everyone when they

graduate,” Piccone said. “These days if you don’t have an advanced education, you’re not going to get hired.” Piccone said nearly 100 percent of the programs graduates are able to find a full-time job in the field. Evan Davros said he will be attending the University of Colorado in Boulder next year. He plans to major in biology. He would like to go into the military and then become a firefighter when he is done serving. “(Working with my dad) would be awesome. That’s my dream,” he said. Tom Davros said he was proud of his son. “It’s an incredibly gratifying experience to watch him grow,” he said. “Working together would be great. I’d have to be pretty old, though.”

Fighting a simulated ﬁre was the culmination of the Douglas County Fire Science Program.

Evan Davros and his father Tom got the chance to ﬁght a simulated ﬁre together April 11.

River Run trailhead project takes shape

Trailhead construction is scheduled to be ﬁnished in June or July By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The deep-throated growl of engines, the crash of steel jaws on rocks and the beep of heavy equipment backing up replaced the normal quiet along the banks of the South Platte River just north of Oxford Avenue as construction of a trailhead for the RiverRun project moved forward. Creation of the trailhead is the initial project in the RiverRun project, which is designed to revitalize about seven miles of the South Platte running through Littleton, Englewood and Sheridan. When completed, the trailhead project will include a picnic pavilion, playground, restroom facilities and access to regional trails. Phase one involved site preparation, said Dave Lee, Englewood Open Space manager. Equipment was assembled in the west end of the parking lot at the Broken Tee Golf Course in Englewood. Heavy equipment changed the topography of the area near the banks of the river to accommodate the planned amenities. At the same time, utilities were installed to provide the necessary services for the restroom and other structures. “We had funding, so the projects moved directly into phase two, which included construction of the many of the amenities,” Lee said. “Currently, there are crews preparing handicapped access from the parking lot to the river as well as creating two of the channels

Crews work on the access point to the South Platte River that will be part of the RiverRun Trailhead adjacent to the river just north of Oxford Avenue. The trailhead will have restrooms, a picnic pavilion, a playground and other amenities and is scheduled to be completed by late June or early July. Photo by Tom Munds for two of the water amenities in the river. One of those will be a white water wading area near the east bank of the river. Work on the restrooms and picnic shelter will begin before too long. Plans are to have the trailhead completed by late June or early July.” The effort is being spearheaded by the South Platte Working Group. Representatives of Englewood, Sheridan, Littleton, Arapahoe County, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, the Colorado Water Conservation Board, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District and the Army Corps of Engineers make

up the group. Lee said grants from the Arapahoe County Open Space fund as well as money the city received from the open space fund and from lottery funds provided the about $800,000 needed to construct the trailhead. Another trailhead amenity recently received funding when it was announced that Greater Outdoors Colorado had approved Sheridan’s grant request for $350,000 to construct and equip the playground adjacent to the river. Plans are for the money to be used

to build a nature-themed playground, seating overlooking the river, pedestrian paths and to install landscaping around the playground. One aspect of the RiverRun project has been completed as the new east bank trail was built between South Prince and Bowles Avenue. There are plans for bank enhancements along much of the seven-mile stretch as well as creation of a white water tubing and boating channel between West Union and West Oxford avenues. Smaller trailheads are planned at Union and Belleview avenues.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF APRIL 18, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Whether a waiting period is taking longer than expected, or just seems that way, the anxious Lamb would do well to create a center of calm within her- or himself, and not do anything rash. TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) Practical matters dominate the week, but cultural activities also are favored, especially those that can be shared with someone special in the Bovine’s life. Some important news might be forthcoming. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You need to know more about a possible career move in order to see if it offers a real opportunity or just a change. You’re sure to get lots of advice -- some of it good -- but the decision must be yours. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The arrival of hoped-for good news about a loved one dominates most of the week and provides a great excuse for the party-loving Moon Child to plan a special event to celebrate. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Leos and Leonas rushing to finalize their plans might want to think about slowing down the pace, or risk overlooking an important consideration that could become a sore point down the line. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The week’s challenges call for logical approaches. But sentiment also has its place. Sharing memories with a special someone, for example, strengthens the bond between you.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A brandnew approach to a problem could have a good chance of succeeding if it’s based on a solid foundation of fact to strengthen its potential for standing up to scrutiny. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A favorable report should give your optimism an important boost as you confront another phase of a challenge. Don’t be timid about accepting advice from someone you trust. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might want to target another goal if your current aim is continually being deflected. But stay with it until you find that first sign of an opening, and then follow through.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Although offers of advice might not always please the usually sure-footed Goat, good counsel is always worth considering, especially from those whose experience can be invaluable. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t rush to make up for lost time. Your productivity can be measured not only by what you do, but how you do it. Move carefully until the job is done the way you like it. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Emerging facts about someone you know might cause you to rethink your relationship. But remember to make judgments in context of a full situation, not just on scraps of data. BORN THIS WEEK: You are known both for your love of acquiring beautiful things as well as for your generosity to others. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
