Putting it on ice Local skaters bring Broadway musical highlights to life at South Suburban Ice Arena Staff report Colorado Skating Club and Denver Figure Skating Club performed Broadway classics at the 44th Showtime on Ice — an annual skating tradition since 1973.

There were four performances from

April 22-24 with highlights from “The Sound of Music,” “Mary Poppins,” “Wicked,” “Annie” and a tribute to the Denver Broncos. The performance at South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial drew about 2,900 guests total, said Carrie Ochitwa, a Showtime on Ice committee member.

Showtime on Ice has featured many top skaters, including Olympian medalists and U.S. National champions.

This year, special guests included 2010 Olympian Marai Nagasu, U.S. senior pairs team, Madeline Aaron and Max

Settlage, and 2016 U.S. Figure Skating Championship silver medalist Max Aaron.

More than 160 skaters are from Denver ice arenas, South Suburban Ice Arena and Family Sports Center, according to a news release.

The production is a nonprofit community event organized by a committee of volunteers.

The show was a huge success, said volunteer Madeline Daley, and local skaters “performed beautifully.”

Democrat Robert Bowen wants to present an alternative for voters in Colorado House District 38.

The 67-year-old Centennial resident, who served as a state representative from Denver from 1982-89, ran for the seat in 2014 as well, losing to Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, by a wide margin.

Conti is not pursuing reelection, choosing instead to run for county commissioner.

Bowen “It was gerrymandered to be a safe Republican district,” he said of the district, which includes west Centennial, most of Littleton, Bow Mar and Columbine Valley.

In November, Bowen will face the winner of the Republican primary contest between former District 1 County Commissioner Susan Beckman and Navy veteran Mike Williams.

“Not everybody in this district is going to agree with any of the three of us on everything,” he said. “I think that people deserve, in a democracy, to have a choice.”

He had not planned to run after being injured in a car crash last fall, but he was nominated from the floor at the Arapahoe County Democratic Assembly in March after no candidates from the party declared for the race, and accepted.

The Littleton Elks Lodge hosted a Hawaiian-themed fundraiser for the charity.

Group sends injured Marine on vacation Highlands Ranch man’s nonprofit sending four veterans on trips this year

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gunnery Sgt. Ralph DeQuebec and his wife, Katie, haven’t had a chance to take a honeymoon in the nearly four years they’ve been married.

The Marine Corps explosive ordnance disposal specialist had both of his legs amputated after he was injured by an im-

provised explosive device in Afghanistan in 2012. He and Katie were married soon after.

But the DeQuebecs are traveling to Hawaii this summer thanks to the nonprofit group Vacations for Warriors.

They joined Vacations for Warriors and supporters on April 23 at the Littleton Elks Lodge for a Hawaiian luau-themed fundraiser.

Vacations for Warriors founder Bob DeMonbrun, of Highlands Ranch, said while many charities help veterans in many different ways, he believes his is the only one dedicated to sending wounded veterans

on vacations. Like the DeQuebecs, many military couples never got a chance to take a proper honeymoon.

The group was formed in 2014, and in 2016, four veterans with service-related injuries are scheduled to make trips paid for by Vacations for Warriors.

Ralph DeQuebec, who joined the Marines in 2002, said he wanted to wait until he was out of his wheelchair and walking on prosthetic legs before traveling.

“Vacations for Warriors — I couldn’t thank them enough,” he said.

The San Pedro, California, native is awaiting a medical retirement from the

Marine Corps while he continues to undergo treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. A former high school and junior college football player, he has found refuge in playing sled hockey and hopes to make the U.S. paralympic team.

He and his wife, an Air Force veteran, are interested in moving to Colorado after his retirement. Before the fundraiser, he was able to spend time with a military friend who lives nearby as well as meet some older veterans.

“I had a good time hanging out with some old-time Marines,” he said.

It also happened to be a day where the Community Outreach Department at Developmental Pathways, the local Community Centered Board for Arapahoe County, Douglas County, and the City of Aurora, hosted a fair where individuals with developmental disabilities could meet local service providers and learn more about accessible supports.

Developmental Pathways partnered with other local service agencies to ensure this was not only an informative event for attendees, but also an entertaining one! The National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD) joined the event and hosted an inclusive obstacle course. Attending kids loved jumping over, crawling through, and running in between different obstacles. DIRT Coffee Bar, a local coffee truck and inclusive employer, provided unlimited coffee, lattes, tea, and lemonade to the guests and vendors. Continuum of Colorado, a direct care provider to individuals with developmental disabilities, provided an arts and crafts corner with fun activities for families.

The event also highlighted the talents of local entrepreneurs like Max Miller. Max created The Blue Ribbon Arts Initiative which helps kids with autism get connected with the arts through art shows and art meet-ups.

High Line Canal talk coming to museum

Future of asset unclear as lack of water hurts trees

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Harriet LaMair, executive director of the High Line Canal Conservancy, formed in 2014, will speak at 7 p.m.

May 5 at the Littleton Museum about the partnership’s efforts to plan for the future of the endangered asset. Support from each jurisdiction involved and a partnership with Denver Water, which owns it, are the beginning and LaMair will discuss future plans for this linear park/greenway. (Former South Suburban Parks and Recreation District director Dave Lorenz is a board member, as is Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe, and Littleton Mayor Bruce Beckman is on the Advisory Committee.)

When workers were building the High Line Canal in the late 19th century (1879-1883), they thought they were building a means to irrigate farms on the 50,000 acres that became Denver and Aurora. But the farms never materialized — partly because the canal builders only owned junior water rights, which anyone familiar with Western water rights knows are inadequate in times of drought.

Instead, what developed was a favorite recreational trail that runs 71 miles from just outside Waterton Canyon northeast to near DIA. Thousands of hikers, bikers, horseback riders, runners and birders enjoy it year round. In 1924, Denver Water purchased it and still owns and operates it, although maintenance is handled by various recreation districts — and water seldom runs in it anymore, which means the ancient cottonwoods and other trees that line it are stressed.

The trail, which passes through a number of parks that offer different amenities, is paved in Denver and Aurora, but has a natural surface in South Suburban areas, Highlands Ranch, Chatfield, Cherry Hills and Greenwood Village. Horseback riding is allowed in

An entrance to the High Line Canal Path in Littleton, one of many approaches to the 71-mile greenway. Courtesy photo some, but not all areas — check with the operating entity. It is an easy, flat walk.

Citing the canal as a connection between communities, a recreational spine that stitches together a regional trail system, a leverager of economic growth and a way to improve environmental health, the Conservancy has gathered conservation-minded leaders from entities along its length, who will plan together and hope to draw constituents into the effort.

Denver Water offers a trail map online, which shows parking, access points,

bridges, benches and restrooms. One can print it out and tuck in a pocket.

(There is also a printed book version.)

There have been a number of histories published over the years, which should be available at libraries, and Littleton Fine Arts Guild member Jennifer Riefenberg spent a year creating paintings at each mile marker.

Seniors forced to find new homes Fire prevents residents from moving back to Southview Place Towers

By Kyle Harding and Chris Rotar Staff writers Jim and Carolyn Stubbert hadn’t spent the night in their apartment in nearly two weeks when they heard the news.

The couple would not be going home — other than to pack their possessions.

The situation reminded Jim Stubbert of the first night after the fire that forced them from their apartment. It felt, he said, like he and his wife were “homeless again.”

On April 6, as smoke filled hallways, residents were evacuated from Southview Place Towers, a senior-living community just east of downtown Littleton. More than a dozen seniors spent 10 nights in a Red Cross shelter, while others, like the Stubberts, found temporary homes with family or friends.

Then on April 19, the building’s 132 residents learned their leases had been terminated. Damage from the lunchtime fire was extensive enough to make the building uninhabitable for at least six months, a spokesman for Southview’s owners said.

The Stubberts have been staying with their daughter in south Jefferson County.

“We don’t know how much longer she is going to put up with us,” Jim Stubbert said.

By the end of last week, as volunteers put boxes in moving trucks, the cause of the fire remained under investigation.

Leaving home again For some of the seniors, the moving began less than 36 hours after they learned they would have to leave. Many of the residents, some of whom have lived at Southview for decades, didn’t know where they were headed — or if they would see their friends again.

“These folks have just experienced a traumatic loss,” said Kathryn Roy, executive director of Littleton nonprofit group Love INC, who was helping coordinate a volunteer effort to assist seniors with the move. “They’re grieving — they’re grieving the loss of a community.”

April 21 was the first of 10 days scheduled for the move-out, with each resident of the five-story building given a two-day window based on their floor of residence.

Volunteers from Love INC — a Christian organization that works to address unmet community needs — joined volunteers from the Boy Scouts of America, the Knights of Columbus and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and movers provided by the property owners in hauling furniture, clothing and other belongings to moving trucks, keeping items separated by apartment number.

The building at 5820 S. Windermere St. was safe to enter but not to live in, said Andy Boian, CEO of Dovetail Solutions, a public-relations and crisis-management firm based in Denver hired by Southview’s owners.

Boian said the owners are refunding residents their security deposits and a pro-rated amount of their April rent, and also giving the seniors $500 per unit to help with relocation expenses.

In addition to moving help, vouchers for clothing, grocery gift cards and transportation were donated to residents by various groups.

“This community has come together in every way possible to help the residents affected by this fire,” Littleton Mayor Bruce Beckman said in a news release. “I want to thank everyone involved in helping with this difficult situation.”

The building and the damage done Southview Place Towers comprises two adjacent buildings that were built in the early 1970s, one on Windermere Street and one on Datura Street. The fire did not reach the Datura building.

In February, the buildings were purchased for $30.5 million by Tebo-Orvis LLC, according to Arapahoe County property records.

The fire, which started on the fourth floor, hit 24 apartments particularly hard.

Those units are on the third, fourth and fifth floors of the building, which has 130 apartments.

The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing, but arson is not suspected, a city spokeswoman said.

A letter from the ownership to the ten-

median rate for a two-bedroom apartment in Littleton and nearby cities, according to apartmentlist.com, which surveys rents across the nation.

A volunteer helps Southview Place Towers residents remove belongings from the building on April 23. Photo by Chris Rotar ants said the building’s heating and air, fire alarm and sprinkler systems had been damaged and will need to be upgraded to current safety codes.

The city issued building permits for renovation less than 48 hours after the fire, said Kelli Narde, Littleton’s director of communications.

“Our No. 1 priority is to ensure that life safety issues are addressed as the building is repaired,” fire marshal Tim Stover, of Littleton Fire Rescue, said in a news release. “Certain parts of the building will need to be upgraded to comply with the International Building and Fire Codes.”

Boian said the owners intend to make the needed repairs and keep it a seniorliving residence. He said it is too early to know if the residents who are leaving will be given first shot at leasing refurbished units or if the rent will rise once the work is completed.

While a complete overview of rental rates at Southview Place Towers was not available, a listing on the website apartmentfinder.com advertised a two-bedroom, two-bath unit for $1,135 a month.

That’s nearly $500 a month less than the

Unexpected news Dozens of Southview residents gathered at Littleton United Methodist Church for what they only knew was an important informational meeting April 19. Several residents said they had expected to hear they could move back within a few weeks.

Some reacted with tears when they found out they could no longer live at Southview.

Rose Sullivan met the news with frustration.

“I’m 94 years old,” she said. “Where do I go?”

At least temporarily, Sullivan is living with her daughter. But she is accustomed to being independent.

“I’m so used to living by myself. I write my own checks. I pay my own rent.”

Building resident Ted Lemke summed up his reaction as “shell-shocked.”

Boian said the building’s ownership is working with the Red Cross and other groups to help find new homes for the seniors.

“None of these people will wind up homeless — I can ensure you that,” he said. “We have no intention of letting anyone suffer any more than they already have.”

But no one could say how soon the former Southview tenants, many of whom are on fixed incomes, would be able to find new homes. Or, in a climate of high rental prices and low vacancy rates, how many would be able to continue living in Littleton. The city is noted for its senior amenities — such as the Omnibus shuttle for medical and shopping trips. Southview is a particularly desirable site, close to the Woodlawn shopping plaza and the Buck Recreation Center, a benefit for the dozens of seniors who no longer drive.

Even as they were watching trucks being loaded with their belongings, many of the seniors couldn’t know if they were saying goodbye to more than just a building.

“Some of them,” said Roy, of Love INC, “don’t even know where their storage is going to be.”

Fund established for Littleton seniors displaced by fire Staff report A fund has been established through the Arapahoe County Foundation to assist Littleton seniors who lost their homes after a recent apartment fire.

“Many of these seniors have lived here for years and lack the financial resources to cope with this disaster,” states a news release from Arapahoe County.

The more than 130 residents of Southview Place Towers, 5820 S. Windermere St., were told on April 19 their leases were terminated in the aftermath of an April 6 fire that started on the fourth floor. The building will be uninhabitable for at least six months, according to a spokesman for

the apartment complex’s owners. Residents began removing their belongings April 21 and will continue to do so until the end of the month.

To contribute to the Southview Apartment Fire Victims Account through the Arapahoe County Foundation, visit www. razoo.com/story/Southview-TowersApartment-Fire-Victims-Fund Or mail a check payable to “Arapahoe County Foundation” to 5334 S. Prince St., Littleton, CO 80120. Include “Southview Apartment Fire Victims” on the memo line of your check.

The Arapahoe County Foundation is a nonprofit corporation organized as a 501(c)(3) and donors will receive a do-

nation acknowledgement letter for tax purposes, the release states.

“All funding raised will be used exclusively to support the victims of the fire, through needs such as utility deposits, security deposits, moving expenses, initial supplies of food and necessities and other needs.”

In addition, Arapahoe County commissioners have voted to designate about $50,000 in grant funding to help the seniors with security deposits and other rental requirements.

“Our Arapahoe County community has always been generous and willing to give to those in need,” Nancy Doty, chair of the board of county commissioners, said in the

news release. “These seniors have lost their homes and most of their possessions, and we hope our citizens will join us in helping them during this time.”

The staff of the Arapahoe County Community Resources department also is working to locate housing options.

A resource center is open daily at 5804 S. Datura St. in Littleton to assist victims and their families. Landlords are encouraged to contact the center through Arapahoe County Community Resources if they have affordable units available at 303-738-8040. Citizens can also contact Community Resources with questions or for more information.

District attorneys oppose bills sponsored by local legislators

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com For Sen. Cheri Jahn, the motivation is clear: To bring Colorado in line with a U.S. Supreme Court decision that makes it unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to life without parole and to allow for judicial discretion relating to circumstances behind the behavior of juveniles accused of murder.

But for First Judicial District Attorney Pete Weir and his fellow district attorneys, the two Senate bills, SB 180 and SB 181, proposed by Jahn, DWheat Ridge, and Sen. Laura Woods, R-Arvada, undercut the power of the courts and give short shrift to victims.

“It’s frustrating when legislation is being proposed that dismisses what victims go through,” Weir said. “It’s incumbent upon district attorneys to speak up and say this is what our communities want.”

SB 180 concerns a step-down program for juveniles who have been prosecuted as adults that would teach them life skills and reintegration into the community. The bill would allow some offenders to go through this program and then be considered for early parole.

SB 181 would stop life without parole sentences for juveniles. Only inmates who were convicted of felony murder or who were complicit in the murder may qualify for a sentence of 30 to 50 years.

George Brauchler, district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, calls SB 181 “extreme” and “offensive” to victims and their families.

The Senate Judiciary Committee passed both bills on a 3-2 vote on April 20. The package of the two bills

“

It’s not a matter of if these are awful crimes or not — they are — or if these individuals should be punished — they should. It’s about when does punishment go too far?”

goes to the Senate Appropriations Committee due to a fiscal note on SB 180.

“Because of strict state laws, judges had no discretion to consider things like circumstances when they were handing down these sentences,” Jahn said. “It’s not a matter of if these are awful crimes or not — they are — or if these individuals should be punished — they should. It’s about when does punishment go too far?”

Amendments were added to SB 181 saying judges must consider the inmate’s age at the time of the crime, and whether or not he or she can be rehabilitated. The impact of crime on the victims also must be considered. Another amendment to SB 180 makes offenders who were convicted of a sex crime ineligible for resentencing consideration.

Colorado has 48 juveniles who have been given life sentences without parole.

Weir and his colleagues strongly oppose the bills, saying they put the suffering of offenders over that of victims.

“District attorneys were not consulted during the creation of this legislation,” Weir said. “I believe they give inordinate benefits to murders.”

Life-without-parole sentences for juveniles have been an issue of concern for Jahn since 2003. She said she was encouraged by the 2012

Cheri Jahn, state senator U.S. Supreme Court case of Miller v. Alabama, which said sentencing juveniles to life without parole was unconstitutional.

This year, the U.S. Supreme Court determined the unconstitutionality to be retroactive, which means the 48 juveniles in Colorado are eligible to have their cases reviewed. But Colorado has no process in place to do so.

Colorado eliminated life sentences for juveniles in 2006, and instead allows juveniles to be eligible for parole after serving 40 years.

“We are fine with the situation as is, but this bill (181) could mean offenders get off sooner than 40 years because of time earned,” Weir said.

“These individuals are some of the worst of the worst and have committed heinous, cruel, vicious murders.”

For Jahn, besides bringing the state in line with the Supreme Court ruling, SB 181 allows judges to consider circumstances behind a juvenile’s behavior. This might include developmental maturity, upbringing and involvement in the crime.

“I agree that some of these offenders should never see the light of day again, but we have a moral obligation to have the full picture,” she said.

“There are some who have gotten college degrees and been stellar inmates, even though they have no hope of parole. This bill doesn’t say they would receive parole, but that they deserve a second look.”

Bowen Continued from Page 1

Bowen said that when he served in the legislature before, he criticized the state Democratic party for not competing in heavily Republican districts.

“I said ‘you’re depriving voters — they don’t get to hear our side of the story and they don’t get to have a choice,’” he said.

Bowen said the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights needs to be amended in order to fund education and infrastructure.

“We need to reform TABOR,” he said.

“People don’t have the guts to do it.”

Bowen advocates for an expansion of the light rail to relieve heavy traffic on Interstate 25, including an east-west line across the south suburbs.

“You’ve got to finance those things, and you’ve got to have people willing to stand up and call for them,” he said.

Bowen also said he would make the case

in the House for raising the minimum wage, which he says would be helpful to Colorado’s economy, though he doesn’t think such a bill would pass either legislative chamber.

He also said that the cost of higher education has increasingly been placed on the backs of students or their parents.

Bowen hopes to have a public debate with Williams and Beckman in the coming months.

“I think the local offices are important and there ought to be a debate, and I’m willing to have one with both of them,” he said.

Bowen says he can be critical of his own party, for instance opposing the use of superdelegates in the presidential nomination race, which he says is undemocratic.

Despite the district’s Republican majority, Bowen sees some cause for optimism. For instance, he thinks a Bernie Sanders presidential nomination would help him by turning out people who otherwise may not vote.

“Nobody runs a race unless they think that there’s some chance that they might win,” he said.

WOW...What a Night!

Despite the snow, the community rallied and attended the event where $70,000 was raised for the Mental Health Legacy Fund.

The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is located at Aspen Grove, 7301 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. Free parking.

Bookended by a pair of classics: “Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ” and “Phantom of the Opera,” the fifth Denver Silent Film Festival moves into its new home at Littleton’s Alamo Drafthouse Cinema from April 29 to May 1. It offers a varied menu of silent films, live musical accompaniment and a pair of conversations with experts.

Festival passes are available, as are single tickets.

On April 29 at 7 p.m., the fivepiece Monte Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, a chamber music ensemble, will perform the orchestration for

the epic “Ben Hur: A Tale of Christ,” in the manner that first-run theaters of the era used to present films. The group plays with silent film events across the country.

Well-known local pianist Hank Troy will perform with several films, including “Spies Spione” at 11 a.m. on May 1.

Donald Sosin will play the piano and his wife, Joanna Seaton, will sing during “Phantom of the Opera” at 8 p.m. May 1, ending the festival on a high note.

VOICES

LOCAL

Put up a hand, if you want to help There are many people right here in our own community who have been blessed enough and who have worked hard enough where they enjoy a comfortable lifestyle.

And there are others who have worked just as hard, if not harder, but have earned less money, yet they too have been blessed with a comfortable and enjoyable life.

There are also others right here in our own community who have suffered a financial setback, or have had catastrophic health issues or other situations deplete their savings and in many cases have cost them their jobs as well. And then there are those who are living paycheck to paycheck, just trying to get by while sometimes working two or three jobs just to do so.

And then there always seems to be the people looking for a handout. They approach us at the gas station or they stand on the street corner with their cardboard sign. The stories are always the same, as they are either stranded, out of gas, an injured veteran, out-of-work mother of three, or that they are willing to work for food or money. Sometimes the signs are deeper as they try and tug at our heartstrings as we walk or drive by, and others just shoot straight like, “Need beer money.”

Homelessness is no joke, and as much as we would like to paint everyone on the street corner with the same brush, we simply cannot. Even if 99 percent are just looking for a handout and not really a hand up, how do we know which one is which? Now don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to get us all to increase our donations or donate at all to the

cardboard sign carrying person in need on the street, that is a personal decision for each one of us as we experience those encounters.

My goal here is to make two points. The first is that there are those who will benefit tremendously from a hand up and are not Michael Norton looking for a handout.

An unexpected series of WINNING events or one bad deciWORDS sion has landed that person or that family in a world of hurt, and possibly homeless. And there are shelters and programs that are designed to help such people and families in need. Every church or house of worship seems to have a group, program, team or mission that focuses on people and families in need. Those are the places where our time, talents, and resources could do so much to provide people with a hand up, not just a handout.

The second point is that this happens all too often in our own circle of friends and families. And what I mean is that we probably all have at least one person, adult person that is, in our lives that seems to always have their hand out for a handout. They never have money to split the lunch bill, or they have forgotten their credit card or left their wallet or purse at home. They are a few hundred dollars short on rent or their air

conditioner broke on a hot summer July day and don’t have the funds to replace it or get it fixed. And did you ever notice it’s the same people or person that always has their hand out? If we don’t stop it at some point, we are just enabling the person and the behavior.

We are called to help where and when we can. We need to be discerning in our giving and assistance, always looking for opportunities where our giving will be seen and accepted as a hand up and not a handout.

And when we give with a caring and discerning heart, we do so because we truly want to help. We never give as a means to put anyone in a position of “owing us” something in return. What they owe us and owe more to themselves is the effort to use the generosity given to them as a steppingstone to getting their life in order or back on track.

Are you willing to give a hand up? Have you been blessed enough to do so? If so I encourage you to connect with an organization that helps people and families in need like a food bank, church, or shelter and offer what you can, large or small, it doesn’t matter. As always I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we stop giving handouts and start giving a hand up, it really will be a better than good week for you, and for at least one more person than last week.

Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Budget deal yields a mixed bag After our spirited debate on the floor and compromises in conference committee, the General Assembly finally passed a 2016-17 budget. As you can imagine, it isn’t perfect, and there are flaws, but at Linda Newell least we’re balGUEST anced.

In a year when COLUMN we started facing a major deficit and overall budget crisis, our Joint Budget Committee members worked very hard to get a budget that slightly increases per-pupil spending in K-12 education, which actually only holds the “negative factor” flat. That means we’re still lower in per-pupil education funding than many other states, but at least we were able to hold the line and not cut any more.

We were also able to prevent more cuts to higher education. That said, we weren’t able to give any as well, so we’re hearing the colleges and universities are planning on more tuition increases next year and beyond. Until we’re allowed to use more of the revenue we’re receiving, students (and parents) will continue to see tuition rates rise.

Also in the budget, are dollars to fund some transportation projects to fix the roads. However, each year, Colorado is approximately $1 billion dollars short of being able to cover adequate transportation needs. Yes, that’s with a B. And yes, we’ll continue to be driving through the obstacle courses of potholes, and paying for our popped tires or banged undercarriages, until we have a better longterm fix to transportation funding.

Let’s give youngest offenders a chance at life

State Sen. Cheri Jahn

GUEST COLUMN

In the 2012 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Miller v. Alabama, the court ruled 5-4 that sentencing juveniles to life without parole is unconstitutional. In the decision, Justice Elena Kagan wrote that “Mandatory life without parole for a juvenile precludes consideration of his chronological age and its hallmark features — among them, immaturity, impetuosity, and failure to appreciate risks and consequences.”

Last year, the court determined the decision is retroactive, thus applying to 48 Coloradans who are currently serving life sentences for crimes they committed as juveniles.

Newell

While it is true that there are those who committed heinous crimes in their younger years, the reality is mandatorily sentencing adolescents to life without parole takes the decision out of the hands of the judge.

When this happens, the court is unable to take several factors into account — including whether the offender is a child, how old they are, the extent of their developmental maturity and their capacity for rehabilitation.

Despite this good ruling by the Supreme Court, the state of Colorado currently has no means to review the life sentences of 48 Coloradans who

committed crimes as juveniles but are now eligible to have their cases reviewed. Senate Bill 181 — which I am sponsoring with Sen. Laura Woods — would make individuals sentenced to a life sentence without parole as adolescents eligible for a resentencing hearing.

Resentencing can include 40-life minus earned times, or a new determinate prison term of 24-48 years if extraordinary mitigation is found.

Our state and federal government has long struggled with the question of how our legal system treats juvenile offenders. In our country today, there are over 2,500 people who were

• And my own amendment to get $100,000 to some of our suicide prevention projects that have been started, but not fully implemented due to lack of funding, like our award-winning Man Therapy program. Check it out at ManTherapy.org.

The bad news — some problems we couldn’t fix: • $73 million cut from our hospitals, putting the status of rural hospitals and citizens on alert and at risk.

• $52 million cut from transportation that would have gone toward fixing our

roads.

• $340,000 cut from the Air Pollution Control Division, just as we’re discovering we’ve got some of the worst air quality problems in the country.

So, you can see, we definitely ended up with a mixed bag this year, and long-term, Colorado still needs to find out how to get access to the funds we’re receiving and not allowed by the constitution to use. And although a short-term fix, we truly need to resolve the Hospital Provider Fee issue you’ve been hearing about, and pass House Bill 1420.

analysts, eyewitnesses, and people on the street.

Whenever there is a blockbuster news event, Sept. 11 for example, we listen all day and night to updates, interviews, discussions and observations.

Anchors and field reporters are required to assimilate information on the run, and to present it with as much clarity as possible.

Not easy.

There are some that are better at it than others.

I can still remember how eloquently Jim McKay was, during the 1972 Olympics crisis.

“They’re all gone,” he said.

When an anchor or a reporter is without a teleprompter or a script, we can really find out what they are capable of.

How many, if any, “uh’s” and “um’s”

are there?

If there are none, you know you are listening to someone who can really talk.

As Kasper Gutman said in “The Maltese Falcon, “Talking’s something you can’t do judiciously, unless you keep in practice.”

The primary offenders of “like” are girls, young women, and women.

Go ahead and throw Gloria Allred at me.

Oh, I have heard men, mostly athletes, say it too.

After his walk-off home run, a ballplayer said, “I’m like, I want to thank God.” Rumor has it that “like” was first used extra-grammatically in a teenager’s pink bedroom in the summer of 1974, in Sherman Oaks, California.

The girl’s name was Mindi. (She dotted her “i’s” with hearts.) I tried to interview Mindi, 56, for this column, but she was on like a vacation.

I know for a fact that some people don’t want to sound too smart. It’s true.

If you sound too smart, your friends might think that you are showing them up.

We sometimes lower our standards in order to fit in.

It’s unwise, for example, to recite Robert Frost in a prison’s exercise yard.

You don’t want to sing, “Love Will Keep Us Together,” in downtown Detroit.

I am a big believer in words. Spoken and written.

ydia Greenhalge, of Littleton, remembers rummaging through garage sales as a child.

Her family lived on a tight budget.

She’s now a garage sale expert.

“I like saving money,” she said. “And I see it as a great recycling project.”

A garage sale is more than just an outdoor pop-up shop cluttered with used items. It’s a staple of summer season alongside sporting events and barbecues. It’s a family affair, de-cluttering tool, collector’s playground— and a means of contributing to community.

Garage sales started as early as the 1800s.

Shipping yards sold unclaimed and used items to communities at discounted prices. They were called “rummage sales,” according to the Daily Infographic website, which collates interesting facts and figures into infographics.

The term “garage sale” was coined in the 1950s and 1960s during a period of urban expansion.

People were moving into homes with yards and garages. With the rise of Internet usage in the 1990s and 2000s, people started advertising garage sales online in addition to newspapers, says Daily Infographic.

Greenhalge coordinates an annual two-day yard sale at South Fellowship Church, 6560 S. Broadway, Littleton. She spends more than three months collecting donations and hosts the sale

mid-April, which generates about $13,000 each year.

“We do it early to get people fired up for garagesale season,” she said.

People in the garage sale world know what items sell for, Greenhalge said. She barters prices: A pair of jeans marked for $5 may sell for $3. Two items may sell for the price of one. Greenhalge works with customers.

“The right price is the price sellers are willing to sell for and buyers are willing to spend,” she said.

South Fellowship proceeds pay for missionary trips for the church’s youth group. In 2013, members traveled to Haiti.

Fundraising “takes the heat off parents,” said Greenhalge.

Gabby Johnson, 16, is in the youth program and participated in this year’s sale, which took place April 22 and 23. The Highlands Ranch resident was amazed at how many people donated.

The most interesting item she’s found this garage-sale season: a retro bowling ball.

Garage-sale fans also can download several Internet apps to find the nearest garage sale, including YardSales.net, gsalr.com, Yard Sale Treasure Map and Garage Sales by Map. Sale continues on Page 13

RISE OF VIRTUAL GARAGE SALES For some residents, social media has replaced the traditional, front-yard garage sale.

“Garage Sale Season is every day on Facebook nowadays,” said Angy Weeks, of Highlands Ranch.

Several Facebook groups serve as digital secondhand stores for residents to buy and sell used household goods.

The “Highlands Ranch Online Garage Sale” is an open group — many are closed and require residents to “join.” This particular

page is filled with photos of wall décor, apparel and furniture.

Prices range from $5 to $150 and are clearly marked in green lettering. Attached is a “Message Seller” button.

Some residents prefer the online transaction to the outdoor, popup shop.

“It’s much easier than dragging it all outside and you make better money and also find awesome deals from your neighbors,” Weeks said.

Illumination from The Lumineers It’s difficult to pin down what Colorado music sounds like because we’ve had such an eclectic bunch of musicians from the state rise to prominence in the past decade or so.

Rock fans might hear bands like Clarke Reader The Fray or DeVotchKa and think LINER of Colorado, while NOTES jam band fans point to the String Cheese Incident or Yonder Mountain String Band. Even electro-heads have Pretty Lights.

The band that sounds most like Colorado to me is The Lumineers, and it’s thrilling to have the trio of Jeremiah Fraites, Wesley Schultz and Neyla Pekarek back after a long absence.

Four years after the release of their massive, self-titled debut, the group released “Cleopatra” on April 8, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart.

Not bad for a group from the Mile High State.

Four years is a long time between albums, particularly in the current fickle music market. But for the band that time was crucial to recover from near constant touring from 2012 to 2014. “(We) took the right amount of time we needed to make the record we imagined, on our own timeline,” said Fraites, in a

Sale Continued from Page 12

During garage sale season — typically spring and summer months — the follow-

release from the band.

The group rented a house in Denver’s Wash Park and spent six weeks writing.

Then, it was time for two months of recording in Woodstock, New York.

“We want songs you can wrap your arms around,” Schultz said in the release.

“There’s enough generic stuff out there full of recycled words that don’t really mean anything. There have to be other stories to tell, and other ways to tell them.”

“Cleopatra” is very much an album full of stories, a more reflective and relaxed affair than the group’s debut. The closest The Lumineers get to the upbeat stomp of “Ho Hey” is the first single, “Ophelia,” a song that is equally infectious, but in a much more subtle way. The hook creeps up on the listener, but after those tinkling piano lines quickly set up camp in your ear.

Colorado is home to some great stories, featuring characters like socialite and Titanic survivor Molly Brown and Beat

Generation leader Neal Cassady, and the penchant for storytelling is one of the main influences I hear seeping into The Lumineers’ music. They often eschew the typical verse-chorus-verse structure to tell extended stories that build as the song progresses. For example, “Cleopatra” tells the tale of a struggling actress, and the stunning “Angela” is the emotional chronicle of reunited lovers.

The writing’s specificity makes the songs more relatable, as it puts the listener in someone’s shoes, instead of just speaking in generalities.

The Lumineers’ old-fashioned music most conjures Colorado in my mind. I’ve long felt Colorado is best experienced with a folk rock soundtrack, and the tunes on “Cleopatra” perfectly fit the bill.

The album has little in the way of electric instruments on the album — what electric guitars are used serve as sonic shadings for the songs. Melodies are instead driven by finger-picked acoustic guitars and ragtime piano. You could easily imagine the album coming from the early 1900s. And I mean that as a compliment.

The song “Sick in the Head” is one of the most gorgeous songs from a musical standpoint I’ve heard in a long time, tailor-made for peacefully watching sunrises or sunsets over the Rockies.

This music would sound good no matter where you’re from. But living in the state that inspired this album only adds to the affection I have for The Lumineers and Colorado.

I can’t help but wonder who will be inspired here next.

ing occurs weekly in the U.S, according to Daily Infographic: • 65,000 garage sales • 690,000 people purchasing from a garage sale • 4.97 million items sold • $4.2 million generated in revenue, with the estimated item price at 85 cents.

Low prices appeal to customers.

“I love garage sales,” said Liz Friesen, of Highlands Ranch. “I look for clothes for my kids and underappreciated instruments.”

Friesen has four children from 6 to 14

years old. She purchased all of her kids’ baby items at garage sales. Now she looks for books, high-end clothing for her daughter and musical instruments.

“I can get really nice clothes for nothing,” she said.

Most garage sale items are used, but still in adequate condition for someone else, reflecting the old saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

Kristen Lowden, of Denver, scouts garage sales for seasonal items she needs.

“It usually varies between baby stuff,

Christmas and Halloween decorations and tools for the husband,” she said.

Most sales have sections for leftover holiday decorations, kitchenware, clothing, shoes and accessories. Each one is a treasure hunt.

The aftermath of a garage sale varies.

Some, like Greenhalge, donate leftover items to nonprofit organizations. She gives to local charities, including Denver Rescue Mission, Love INC Littleton, Family Promise and mission trips overseas.

It is, she said, “a labor of love.”

This music would sound good no matter where you’re from.

But living in the state that inspired this album only adds to the affection I have for The Lumineers and Colorado.

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Sturgill Simpson’s “A Sailor’s Guide to Earth,” released on Atlantic records.

Review: Country is too small a genre to contain Simpson, and on his third album be breaks free to add soul and funk layers to that astounding voice. The album is structured as a letter to his son, and features foot-stomping horn lines and some of Simpson’s warmest lyrics. There’s no telling where he’ll sail to next.

Favorite song: “In Bloom” Most breathtakingly comforting lyrics: There will be nights that go on forever Like you’re long-lost at sea Never to be found Just know in your heart That we’re always together - from “All Around You”

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL GARAGE SALE Organize

Get the word out

Arrange items by category so guests can easily navigate through the garage sale. Place books on a shelf instead of throwing them in a box. Hang clothes on a rack and organize by size or color.

Skip the decorated, neon-colored poster boards and go for a clean design. Make the address clear, bold and have an arrow pointing in the appropriate direction. Less is more, according to Real Simple.

Clutter can overwhelm you and your guests.

If sale items are neatly displayed, a passerby may be more apt to stop.

Set the mood

Make your garage sale stand out by playing background music, providing finger food or setting up a lemonade stand. Invite friends, children and neighbors to help. Small additions can lift the ambiance and make your garage sale more than a front-yard exchange.

The main thing to remember is not to overprice, says Real Simple. Keep in mind that most items are used. The overall goal should be to clear out clutter.

Rule of thumb: Sell things for one-half to one-third their original price.

Audubon center hosts bird-banding station Bird banding, in partnership with Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, “provides a unique look into the life journey of these amazing little animals,” said Audubon Society of Greater Denver outreach coordinator Kate Hogan. It fosters a new appreciation for the migration that’s happening around us in the spring.

A visit offers an opportunity to see wild birds up close (and be assured that they are not being injured). The Banding Station is open to the public from 7:30-11 a.m.

Sundays May 1, 15, 22, 29 and Saturdays May 7, 21, 28. Visitors are asked to make a donation of $3 to support the program. Information: 303-973-9530, denveraudubon.org.

Talented twins are wonders in water

Eagles rally past Grizzlies Thorpe’s two-run homer sparks Heritage’s 5-4 win

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Heritage couldn’t produce a big hit in a 3-0 loss to Chaparral on April 22, but came back with a big home run the next day in a 5-4 Continental League win over ThunderRidge at the Eagles’ Randy Campbell Memorial Field.

Facing back-to-back games against league unbeaten teams, the Eagles left 14 runners stranded and collected only three hits in the loss at Chaparral. But 240-pound senior Dalton Thorpe played a big role as Heritage handed Thunder-

Ridge, ranked No. 2 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, its first league loss less than 24 hours after being shut out.

Thorpe smacked a tworun homer in the fifth inning to push the Eagles into a 5-4 lead and then collected the save when he relieved starter Bill Moreland in the seventh inning.

“I was hoping to get a first-pitch fastball and that’s what I got,” Thorpe said.

“And I was just trying to go out in the seventh inning and get us the win.”

Key moments Heritage was down by a run with two outs in the fifth inning when Thorpe belted a the two-run homer over the left-field fence to give the Eagles the lead and then he

moved from first base to the mound to start the seventh inning.

He allowed two singles but managed to get a strikeout for the final out of the game with runners on first and second.

Key players/statistics Moreland, besides his six-inning pitching performance, went 3-for-4 at the plate and scored twice.

ThunderRidge sophomore Reese Lansville, the ninth hitter in the Grizzlies’ lineup, had three singles and junior Jason Hall also had three hits as the Grizzlies outhit the Eagles, 14-7.

They said it “He can do that almost any time,” Heritage coach Scott Hormann said of

Thorpe’s homer, which was his first of the season. “That was a good baseball game.”

Poor base running caused ThunderRidge to run into four outs and Heritage turned three double plays during the game.

“We are absolutely destroying ourselves with our base running the past five or six games,” said ThunderRidge coach Joe White.

Going forward Most teams faced a backlog of games that were played early in the week. Heritage, 3-1 in the league and 10-3 overall, will complete a suspended game against Rock Canyon on April 28. The Eagles are leading 12-7 after six innings.

ThunderRidge (4-1, 10-2) faces Regis Jesuit April 29.

Girls first, boys fourth in annual invitational track meet

By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Arapahoe High School athletes turned in pointwinning performances as the Warriors girls finished first with 109 points and the boys scored 60 points to place fourth at the April 22 and 23 Liberty Bell Invitational Track Meet.

About 40 teams, including a couple from Wyoming, entered the two-day Liberty Bell two-day meet.

The Arapahoe girls took top honors with 109 points.

B H T t Laurel and Griffin Eiber are in a swimming pool most of the year, except w K maybe for a few trips to the ski slopes.

T The twins are juniors at Arapahoe J High School and are among the state’s r top swimmers.

But which twin is the better swimC mer?

T “Griffin is faster,” Laurel said. “He’s a t boy. But when you compare the compe- r tition, we’re the same.”

K Griffin agreed and so does Mike Rich- h mond, the Arapahoe boys and girls swimG ming coach.

R Laurel finished third in this winter’s 5A state championships in the 50- and 100-yard freestyles.

She broke the Centennial League 50yard freestyle record held by Olympian Jim Benton Amy Van DykenOVERTIME Rouen of Cherry Creek and is the school record holder in the 50 freestyle, 100 butterfly and is part of Arapahoe’s record 200 medley and 400 free relay teams.

Griffin, the Warriors’ record holder in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle events, has the state’s best times this spring of 21.12 seconds in the 50 free and 46.02 in the 100 freestyle. At last spring’s state meet, he was second in the 200 free and sixth in the 100.

“Laurel and Griffin are similar in many ways athletically,” Richmond said.

“Both are extraordinarily talented, similarly dedicated and committed studentathletes.

“From a lighter perspective, Griffin’s weakness is getting in the water to warm up, while Laurel has been averse to including vegetables in her diet.”

It’s good to know I’m not the only person who dislikes vegetables.

McCaffrey comment a winner Valor Christian graduate Christian McCaffrey, last season’s Heisman Trophy runner-up as a Stanford sophomore running back, was honored at the April 19 Colorado Sports Hall of Fame banquet as the Amateur Athlete of the Year.

And he came up with one of the best responses of those who were honored.

“It’s nice to put on a suit and tie and actually win an award,” he said.

Littleton finished 22nd and and Heritage was 31st.

In individual competition, Julia Hall scored the most points for the Warriors girls by winning the 400-meter run, taking the runner-up spot in the 200-meter dash and finishing fourth in the 400 meters. She also joined forces with Allison Marizza, Sarah Slack and Anna Hall on the winning 4x400-relay team.

Arapahoe also won the 4x200 and 4x800 events.

The 4x200 team was made up of Hannah Carlson, Marizza, Slack and Amelia Cauazos. The 4x800 team members were Marizza, Slack, Morgan Conn and

64-team basketball tournament rejected The Colorado High School Activities Association’s Legislative Council has spoken again.

Besides passing a new bylaw to stiffen the dishonest practices and outlining penalties in the transfer processes for false and incorrect information during its session April 21, the council also rejected a proposed 64-team Class 5A and 4A basketball tournament.

Both 5A and 4A will have 48-team brackets for the state tournament. It will be the same number of qualifiers for 5A but an increase from 32 teams for the 4A field.

For Ponderosa, a 4A team playing basketball in the 5A Continental League, the Mustangs were in favor of the expanded 4A tournament bracket.

“We were in favor of either the 64 or 48, but what we didn’t want is to have

it remain at 32,” said Ponderosa Athletic Director Tim Ottmann. “We’re in a unique situation being in the Continental League and trying to qualify out of that league. We don’t get a lot of wins and it hurts us to qualify for the 4A tournament. This will give us a lot better opportunity.”

Pugh won’t play for Vista Mallory Pugh, a senior at Mountain Vista and a member of the U.S. women’s soccer team, confirmed that she will not play for the Golden Eagles this spring because of Team USA commitments.

In January, the 17-year-old became the youngest female player to compete for the U.S. national team during an Olympic-qualifying tournament.

She was a member of the 20-player U.S. team but the roster needs to be trimmed to 18 for the upcoming Rio Olympic Games.

Team USA will play Japan in a pre-Olympic match June 2 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Stadium in Commerce City. That game is sold out.

John Flicker, left, heads for the finish line as he runs the anchor leg for the Arapahoe 4 x 800 relay team. The Warriors won the event, helping Arapahoe finish fourth in the boys team standings at the April 22-23 Liberty Bell Invitational Track Meet.

Meet

Sienna Golden.

Fountain Fort Carson won the boys team title with 84 points, Arapahoe was fourth with 60 points, Littleton was sixth with 35.5 points and Heritage was 13th.

Arapahoe’s Steven Goldy won the 3,200-meter run, and the members of the winning 4x800-relay team were David Merkel, Tyler Ervin Griffin Hampton and John Flicker.

Warrior Luke McDaniel finished second in the long jump.

The Lions’ point-scoring leader was Noah Mcghee, who won the 100-meter dash. He also took runner-up honors in the 200-meter dash. Teammate David Bieber fin-

ished third in shot put.

Littleton senior Noah Mcghee is the defending state champion in the 100-meter dash.

“This was a big win for my confidence. It boosts it very high,” he said after the race.

“I don’t think anyone expected me to win today. But I have good coaches who have helped me put in a lot of hard work to get to this point in my career.”

New playing surfaces in Highlands Ranch New synthetic turf will be installed at Shea Stadium and ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch this summer.

“We have all our turf fields on a cycle,” said Douglas County School District Athletic Director Derek Chaney. “It’s Shea’s turn to get that done, along with ThunderRidge. Those are the two capital projects we have this summer. Shea is definitely due for new turf.”

It will cost $676,000 to have Sprinturf LLC install the artificial turf on both fields, and the Highlands Ranch Metro District will assist the school district with the expense.

“We’re sharing the cost of the turf,” Chaney said. “We have an (intergovernmental agreement). We use it 60 percent of the time and they use it 40 percent of the time. So we’re paying 60 percent and they are paying 40 percent.”

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF APRIL 25, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Impatience is still somewhat of a problem. But a sign of progress should soothe the anxious Aries heart. Meanwhile, invest some of that waiting time in preparing for the change ahead.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bovines tend to excel at solving problems, not creating them.

But you risk doing just that if you’re slow to respond to a timely situation. If necessary, seek advice from someone you trust.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Gemini Twin might need to do more than a routine check of both a job-linked and home-based situation.

Dig deeper for more data on both fronts to avoid unwanted surprises later.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Moon Children facing an important workplace decision are encouraged to use their perceptiveness to see through any attempt to win them over with a supercharge of fawning and flattery.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Good news catapults Leos and Leonas into reconsidering a deferred decision. But time has moved on, and it’s a good idea to recheck your plans and make adjustments where necessary.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The week favors relationships, both personal and professional. Take the time to look for and immediately repair any vulnerable areas caused by unresolved misunderstandings.

© 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

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 friend’s problems bring out your protective instincts. Be careful to keep a balance between meeting the obligations of friendship without being overwhelmed by them.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The temptation to take an extreme position on an issue is strong, but moderation is favored both in personal and professional dealings. Move toward finding areas of agreement.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Getting another boss or teacher? Try to see the person behind the image. It will help you adjust more easily to the changes that new authority figures inevitably bring.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Much as you might dislike the idea, keep an open mind about using the assistance of a third party to help resolve problems that threaten to unravel an important agreement.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Music helps restore the Aquarian’s spiritual energies this week. Take someone you care for to a concert of your musical choice. Also, expect news about a workplace matter.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A challenge that seems easy enough at first could take an unexpected turn that might test your resolve. Decide if you feel you should stay with it, or if it’s better to move in another direction.

BORN THIS WEEK: You can be strong when standing up for justice, both for yourself and for others. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
