C-470 plan set for public hearing Assessment available at libraries, online

By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com

No Spandex, no big hair, but plenty of enthusiasm for tunes that outdate them by at least 30 years, kids crowd the stanchion ropes to catch a closer look at Love Shack, an ’80s cover band that performed at the Centennial Under the Stars event held Saturday, Aug. 8, at Centennial Center Park.

TRIP BACK IN TIME An estimated 1,500 people filled Centennial Center Park on Aug. 8 for a trip back to the 1980s. Fog machines and a laser light show set the stage for Love Shack, a Las Vegas-based cover band dedicated to the music that pushed disco to the back of the line.

The five-member group headlined the city’s annual Centennial Under the Stars event, bringing the crowd to their feet with high-energy sets and members dressed as legendary rock, pop and new-wave artists from the era. Now in its 10th year, the free familyfriendly event showcased local cuisine and live music from local favorites The Patti Fiasco and SHEL. The evening concluded with a dazzling laser light show, a sea of fog and — perhaps — a whole new generation of ’80s fans.

If C-470’s planned improvements aren’t on your radar, the Colorado Department of Transportation has published an assessment of the future project, made available at various libraries in the south metro area.

The projects are intended to help relieve congestion, decrease delays and improve travel reliability, and will include the addition of one tolled express lane, according to a CDOT press release.

The release of this information is part of a public outreach that CDOT has been working on since 2006 with the project.

A C-470 corridor coalition was formed in 2011 to provide a forum for local government.

The assessments are made up of two giant binders filled with pages of diagrams, photos and summaries that can be accessed at libraries in Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Lone Tree, south Jefferson County, Castle Rock, Lakewood and Denver.

The public review and comment period for the assessment began July 29 and will continue through Sept. 11. The complete document also is available in electronic format on the CDOT website, where comments can be submitted.

In addition to the publications, a public hearing will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 26 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons Street, for everyone to weigh in on the project. The hearing will be a drop-in, open house format with a formal presentation at 6 p.m. by project team members to answer questions.

For those interested in making a statement about the project, a court reporter will be available to record comments for the official transcript of the meeting. Participants also will have the opportunity to fill out comment forms that can be turned in to designated comment boxes.

Hearing continues on Page 9

Teacher shares talents on Nicaragua journey Musical skill, Spanish fluency help build bridges on trip

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Fourth-grade teacher Natalie West has a special story to tell if the subject of summer activities comes up in her class at Independence Elementary School.

In mid-July, the Cherry Creek School District teacher joined other members of the Casa Unida Foundation team for a two-week trip to the mountains of northern Nicaragua.

Casa Unida Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Lakewood that regularly makes trips to rural Nicaraguan mountain communities to work on projects aimed at improving the lives of the people of the area. Foundation projects include constructing classrooms, building churches that are also community gathering places, and providing clean, safe drinking water.

“I learned about the foundation and the trip at my church,” West said. “I felt it was something I wanted to do so I signed up.”

The team flew into Managua July 18 and made the 200-mile road trip to the northern city of Somoto.

“Our foundation has been doing humanitarian projects in northern Nicaragua since 2005. This year, we went to Nicaragua this time to build a church in the village of Sonia, about 11 miles north of Somoto,” said Bob Moore, foundation president. “Our team worked constructing a brick building in a community with no running water and no electricity.”

The team often looked to West for help because she was the member of the group most fluent in Spanish.

In addition to the construction project, members of the team worked with local residents to put on one-day vacation Bible school programs in small villages around Somoto.

West said she loved working with the kids, and she became a hit when she took

Two team members sift sand for mortar as Natalie West shovels more sand onto the screen during a construction project in northern Nicaragua. West, a fourth-grade teacher at Cherry Creek’s Independence Elementary School, joined a team from the nonprofit Casa Unida Foundation on a two-week trip to Nicaragua. The foundation team worked on constructing a brick building and hosted events for local children. Photo by Tom Munds out a guitar, sang to them and helped them learn the words to the song.

The team received an invitation to Somoto City Hall. It turned out, much to their surprise, they were the guests on a live one-hour television program. West and the rest of the team talked about the trip and their work, plus the teacher was asked to sing for the television audience.

The small foundation team at the work site was assisted by volunteers from the

local community. When the team arrived at Sonia on July 19, the building site was cleared and the foundation was in place.

On the final day at Sonia, the workers had built the building’s four walls chest high and much of the area inside the walls had been leveled.

“It was an exciting trip in many ways,” West said as the team prepared to return home. “I met a lot of nice people here in Nicaragua, and I have learned a great deal

about their culture. My fluency in Spanish has really improved as I talked that language as often as possible, and, as an unofficial interpreter, my language skills were stretched, improved and strengthened.”

The teacher said she loves education, and her future plans include returning to college to earn a graduate degree and then to become a missionary for her church.

Longtime volunteer running for school board Jim Stephens led safety committee, last bond election

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jim Stephens is now the third candidate for two seats on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education, so the Nov. 3 election is a go.

“It was always my intention to jump in, and I believe I am well qualified to serve this community as a board director,” he said. “It is my passion, as well as my avocation, and it seems to be the next logical step. … And I think the community deserves the chance to make a choice.”

Stephens, a Centennial resident, is a retired technical consultant with a bachelor’s degree in economic management from DePauw University in Indiana. He has volunteered in the district in a variety of capacities for 15 years, most recently as the chairman of the Safety and Mental Health Advisory Committee.

“I learned as a volunteer that Littleton Public Schools has a tradition of listening to and considering all voices,” he said. “I certainly think I’ve had the chance to be heard.”

Stephens and his wife, Tammy, have three kids, all of whom went to Lenski

Jim Stephens is running for a seat on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education.

Photo by Jennifer Smith Elementary School and Newton Middle School. Two have graduated from Arapahoe High School, and one is a junior there now.

“The tragedy at Arapahoe impacted my life directly, and our lives will never be the same,” he said. “… But our district, I believe, continues to be vigilant about following best practices for physical safety and looking for ways to improve where we can. There’s a lot of time, effort and money going into that. But part of it is that we need to be able to identify kids with men-

tal-health struggles much earlier. It’s primarily the responsibility of families, but it manifests at school. We need to make sure we have the strongest network we can.”

Stephens feels confident that LPS is situated to avoid the type of conflict that is going on in surrounding communities.

“I’m not from Jefferson County or Douglas County, but what I know about LPS is that we offer a tremendous amount of choice in neighborhood schools and our two charter schools,” he said. “We are a five-to-one importer of kids from Doug-

las County. … Our collaborative approach with the administration and the board continue to yield outstanding academic results. Surrounding communities recognize that we’re doing great work here in LPS.” He cites concerns common to the candidates and sitting board members, including aging infrastructure, state and federal standards, unfunded mandates and testing schedules.

“Clearly, we’ve got Colorado Academic standards written by Coloradans,” he said. “… But I get the whole uproar about seniors taking tests. I get that you’re not going to direct their education with them anymore.”

But he said he also believes that the LPS board is uniquely unified in working toward solutions.

“The voting public values open dialogue and a balanced perspective,” he said. “It doesn’t like any point of view to be suppressed. But when you engage in LPS, there’s an expectation that you leave your political hankerings at the door and get the work done. There are no good ideas, no bad ideas. Just get the ideas out there and figure out what needs to be done.”

Stephens will vie with Richard Boorom and Robert Reichardt for the two seats that are opening up, those of Mary Nichols and Lucie Stanish.

Execution would have been uncertain for Holmes

By Ivan Moreno Associated Press The life sentence delivered by a divided jury to Aurora theater shooter James Holmes averts an uncertain path to execution in a state that has put only one person to death since 1967.

But the murder of 12 theatergoers three years ago was so horrific that many observers predicted death would be the only possible outcome. Capital punishment requires a unanimous verdict in Colorado, and the jury of nine women and three men failed to agree Aug. 7 on any of the murder counts.

That means Holmes will automatically get a sentence of life without parole after his victims get one more chance to address the court, in hearings scheduled for Aug. 24-26.

On July 20, 2012, Holmes clad in body armor, packed an arsenal of weapons and opened fire on 400 unsuspecting people during a midnight premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises.” Seventy people were wounded or injured in their scramble to escape.

Prosecutors had refused a pre-trial defense offer to enter a plea deal that would have kept Holmes behind bars for life, calling him the personification of evil and saying that capital punishment was the only appropriate response.

District Attorney George Brauchler defended that decision, declaring, “This guy went there in his heart with the intention to be the number one mass murderer in the history of this country, and he had the means to do it.”

The verdict averts an appeals process that would have kept Holmes in the public eye during decades of hearings and cost millions of taxpayer dollars. And there was no guarantee that the once-promising neuroscience student, now 27, would ever be executed.

At least one survivor sought consolation

in the outcome.

“Now that we don’t have the death penalty, we don’t have to go through all the appeals,” said Lonnie Phillips, whose 24-year-old stepdaughter Jessica Ghawi was killed in the attack. “We want him to go into oblivion. We want him to never be seen or heard from again.”

The state’s last execution was in 1997: Gary Lee Davis received a lethal injection for a woman’s kidnapping, rape and murder.

Colorado remains politically divided on the death penalty. Lawmakers came within one vote of abolishing capital punishment in 2009. Opposition and support for the death penalty have long crossed party lines in Colorado, both in public opinion polls and in the Legislature, where lawmakers also tried unsuccessfully to abolish the death penalty in 1999 and 2013.

The state’s longest-serving death-row inmate, murder convict Nathan Dunlap, spent 20 years exhausting all of his appeals when Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, granted him an indefinite stay of execution in 2013. Dunlap was convicted in 1996 for the 1993 slayings of four people at a Chuck E. Cheese’s in Aurora. But Hickenlooper cited doubts about the fairness of the state’s death penalty process, and about access to the drugs needed to carry out the execution.

Two of the other three men on death row, Robert Ray and Sir Mario Owens, were sentenced in 2009 and 2008, respectively, and their appeals have yet to reach the state Supreme Court. Both were convicted in the 2005 slayings of Javad Marshall-Fields and his fiancee, Vivian Wolfe. Marshall-Fields was going to testify against Ray and Owens in a murder case.

Many victims’ relatives view capital punishment as a necessary avenue for justice, but it’s a hard road for all involved, said Democratic state Rep. Rhonda Fields, an Aurora lawmaker and Javad Marshall-Fields’

Public reacts to verdict On Aug. 7, James Holmes, who killed 12 and injured 70 in the Aurora theater shooting in 2012, was sentenced to life in prison.

Colorado Community Media asked residents of Centennial — where the trial was held — the following question:

• “It doesn’t matter because it’s not going to bring any of those people back. If he’s not a threat to anyone now in prison, I think this was the right decision. The death penalty is complicated and why should we decide who gets to live or not.”

— Leslie Bird, Centennial

•“Yes. I think if people are going to kill him, it’s not going to fix anything. It’s a sin to kill him. It’s not going to bring back any of the people he killed. We must learn how to forgive — he made a wrong decision. Death is not an option, he’s a human being. He should have the right to see his family.”

— Yehseen Kabongo, 11, daughter of Serge Kabongo

• “No. I’m so disappointed. There are so many better ways to spend taxpayer money.”

— Megan Koch, Centennial

• “No. He should have been killed. He killed 12 and injured 70. This was a terrorist attack.”

— Rick Boardmen, Centennial

• “No. I’m sorry. He should pay for the crime. The worse the crime, the worse the punishment should be. Now, he gets a meal, gets to watch TV and chill in a cell

• “No. He should be dead right now. We all have to pay for him to be alive — our system is so screwed up.”

— Dillon Bolders, Centennial

mother. She says she supports the death penalty but knows firsthand how painful the process can be.

“I’ve experienced it, and my heart goes out the victims’ families,’’ she said. “What is the price of justice, is what I come back to.’’

Defense arguments about Holmes’ schizophrenia could have been grounds for a death-penalty appeal, keeping him alive

even longer. Experts on both sides testified that Holmes is mentally ill. Court-appointed psychiatrists found him delusional, believing his self-worth would increase with each life he took. Even when mentally ill killers are sentenced to death, the law requires that they remain sane enough to understand the nature of their punishment before an execution date can be set.

Do you agree with the sentencing of James Holmes to life in prison?

Special Olympics athletes ‘all winners’ About 650 competitors take part in Summer Classic

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The competition at the Aug. 8 Special Olympics Summer Classic rivaled other sporting events, but the difference was that spectators cheered and applauded every single athlete for his or her efforts.

The event drew athletes from across the state. Representatives from Grand Junction, Delta and other communities joined local Olympians on teams like the Cherry Creek Rebels and the South Suburban SouthSiders, a team comprised of athletes from Centennial, Englewood and Littleton.

Overall, about 650 athletes participated in a wide range of summer events including bocce, cycling, golf, softball and tennis. The Olympians were joined by coaches, unified athlete partners and family.

Athletes competed in one of two divisions; one division was for those 21 and younger and the second for those 22 and older. There were competitions involving individual Special Olympics athletes as well as those in which athletes were teamed with unified partners, usually athletes or coaches with experience in a particular sport.

In competition there are unified teams and all-Special Olympics athlete teams.

Age divisions are further broken down based on the skill levels of the athletes, which are determined by a number of factors.

For the Summer Classic, three sports — bocce, softball and cycling — were held at Aurora Sports Park. Golf was played on the Fitzsimmons Golf Course, and tennis was played on the courts at Utah Park in Aurora.

Bocce, or lawn bowling, drew the most entries as 125 signed up for the event. The course was set up on one of the grassy fields at the Aurora Sports Park.

Teams set up canopies to provide

Photos by Tom Munds shade, and many competitors and spectators brought lawn chairs. Under the SouthSiders canopy, competitor Shawnna Gunnick used a loom to knit a hat while she waited for her first match.

“I have been competing in Special Olympics for about six years,” the Littleton resident said. “I am competing in bocce today, but I also compete in basketball and volleyball. I like all the sports, but volleyball is my favorite.”

She said she likes being part of the SouthSiders and the Special Olympics.

“I like sports. It is a lot of fun,” she said with a smile. “I also like competing with Special Olympics with all my friends on the team and the friends I have made on other teams.”

This is Gunnick’s second year in bocce competition at the Summer Classic. She said she won the silver medal last year, and her goal was to win the gold medal this year.

There were five SouthSiders athletes competing in bocce. Each athlete competed in both singles and doubles. Gunnick achieved her goal as she won a gold

medal in singles; she also earned a silver medal in doubles.

Other SouthSiders who won medals in bocce were: Mari Welichko, who won gold in both singles and doubles; Aryanna Morgan, who won silver in both singles and doubles; and Tara Armstrong, who won silver in singles and gold in doubles.

The SouthSiders’ Nicole Wederski won a gold medal in singles and teamed up with Debbie Wederski, her unified partner who is also her coach and mother, to win gold in doubles.

Patsy Drace, an assistant coach with the Cherry Creek Rebels, was a mom as she watched her son Derek compete in bocce.

“My son and I have been with Special Olympics for about seven years,” the Centennial resident said. “For the first years, I was a volunteer, and four years ago I became an assistant coach.”

She said she loves working with Special Olympic athletes.

“It is a great feeling to watch these young men and women compete in athletics,” she said. “I think the most

Everyone wants to be on the podium for a medal, but the focus is trying hard and doing their best, which makes them all winners.”

The oldest athlete at the Summer Classic was 74-year-old Don Hinkle of Denver, and the youngest competitors were 9-year-olds Angel Perea and Hunter Wing of the North Jeffco Bulldogs softball team.

Amy Turner, vice president of marketing and communications for Colorado Special Olympics, said the state program conducts competitions in 22 sports for 17,000 athletes who have intellectual disabilities. She added that more than 9,000 volunteers help make the programs possible.

VOICES

LOCAL

Tributes add acting to things that are distracting I can always watch Turner Classic Movies without dismay.

There’s garbage almost everywhere else.

Ultimate fighting. Ladies going gaga over wedding dresses. Fools trying to guess how much sandwich bags cost.

Every December, Turner Classic Movies creates a tribute to personalities in the film industry who died that year. “TCM Remembers.”

It always beautifully composed and beautifully edited.

They find a perfect song to go along with it.

I watch it over and over. Most of the names I recognize, but a few of them I don’t.

Most of the time, I get teary-eyed.

I’ll see three or four seconds of a supporting actor and remember the film he was in, and maybe where I was when I saw it.

It always slows me down.

When I write, I am constantly going back and forth between what I am writing, what I am listening to, and what is going on.

Troy Tulowitzski. Susan Bland. Cecil the lion.

I have a lot of homemade playlists.

Erik Satie. Buddy Holly. Tangerine Dream.

Tim Buckley. Jeff Buckley. Arvo Part. Electric Light Orchestra. Dead Can Dance. Mozart and Beethoven. Jorma Kaukonen. Dire Straits.

Want me to make you a CD? I’ll be listening to something, “Dreams Are Like Water” by This Mortal Coil, reading an online story about an African lion, and things around here just stop.

It’s like the TCM tributes almost every day.

I read “California man who helped kidnap

busload of kids paroled after 37 years (Reuters)” this morning. (“Gymnopédie No. 1” was playing.)

That happened in 1976.

I was still living in Mesa, Arizona.

It was a couple of Craig Marshall Smith days before Father’s Day. Three young QUIET men loaded the kids DESPERATION and the bus driver into a buried box truck.

On Father’s Day that year I went to an art professor’s house for lunch.

On the way, in my midnight-blue, 1975 Toyota station wagon, I was listening to the radio.

The disc jockey said it was 117 degrees. I have never forgotten that.

The car didn’t have air conditioning. It had black vinyl upholstery. I bought it in a moment of abject stupidity.

The kidnappers were in their 20s. So was I. James Schoenfeld was released on parole, with no objection by Gov. Jerry Brown.

Brown had been California’s governor in 1976 too.

He ran for the Democratic party’s nomination for president in 1976. He lost, and remained California’s governor until 1983.

Brown was later the mayor of Oakland and the state’s attorney general.

In January 2011, Brown was sworn in for his third term as governor.

And now he has let stand the ruling of a parole board on someone who was sentenced when he was serving his first term.

Schoenfeld has been walking back and forth and spending time in the exercise yard for the past 37 years.

I spent a couple of hours in a holding cell one night. I’ll tell you about it someday.

I couldn’t reach for the dog. I couldn’t do anything except walk back and forth and wait.

Thirty-seven years of that would have turned me into someone else.

Nothing, nothing, nothing is better than independence, freedom, and liberty without permission.

There are pictures of Schoenfeld when he was arrested, and he looks like we all did. Too much hair. Young, smiling.

Now he looks like a 63-year-old man who has been living in a cage. His eyes aren’t there.

Before he died in 2012, the bus driver, Frank Edward “Ed” Ray, had lots of grateful visitors.

The schoolchildren (ages 5-14) he helped to safety in 1976.

For a good “TCM Remembers” starter, try 2014. Robin Williams, Lauren Bacall, Shirley Temple.

Song is “All I Want” by Kodaline.

Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

‘Successful by association’ stems from correct choices We have all heard that other adage right, “Guilty by association.” The word “guilty” just sounds bad doesn’t it?

That is, unless we are guilty of doing something good, maybe even excellent, kind, praiseworthy or noble. Or if we feel like we have reached a goal or have met with success because of our associations, we may be found guilty of hanging around with the right people.

Goal achievers and successful people share many best practices, and one of them is knowing whom to associate with and whom to avoid. They seek out and attract others who are like-minded and who also might be pursuing a similar path. As an example, students of all ages looking to further their knowledge will find others who are also disciplined while trying to advance their level of education.

These are the knowledge seekers looking to grow their mind and who become successful by association.

Individuals looking to get in shape, lose weight and maybe even compete athletically at a higher level will also find others whom they can run, bike, hike, climb, diet and work out with. They seek out and find accountability partners, encouraging, coaching and driving each other to success. They share workout routines, recipes, cross-fit schedules, pains, victories and upcoming events that inspire and motivate each other to succeed. These are fitness seekers looking to develop and protect

their bodies who are successful by association.

I know many spiritual people, some who follow an organized religion and others who find their spirituality in nature, people, personal space and other ways and places. There are people whom I have Michael Norton met and even some WINNING of the people whom I know intimately who WORDS have already reached a higher level of spirituality, yet as they seek to grow and go even higher or deeper into their journey, they attract and seek others who will participate in their mutual pursuit of growing even closer and deeper in whatever faith journey they are on. These are the wisdom seekers looking to further develop their spirit who become successful by association.

Mind, body, spirit … each area of our lives is impacted in some way by all three of these.

And although we may focus more on one particular area at a time, it’s important that we associate ourselves with people who are on the same path, people whom we can encourage and drive, and people who will motivate

and educate us in return.

Perhaps you are still a bit skeptical about this whole “success by association” concept.

So let’s look at the other side for a moment.

People who enter a drug rehabilitation center and spend any length of time there will come out of the facility with some level of hope. Yet when they are placed back in the same environment with their same circle of friends who continue to use, they fall right back into their own use and abuse of drugs or alcohol. They do not become successful by association; they are guilty of avoiding success by their choice of association.

If you have a goal, if you have a dream, if you would like to get clean in mind, body and spirit, I strongly encourage you to let others know what your goals are so that they will find you and that you seek others who are pursuing those same dreams so that you foster mutually rewarding relationship built on trust, accountability, inspiration and encouragement.

How about you, are you successful by association or guilty of avoiding success by association? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we find the right partners and associates in life, it really will be a better than good 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.

Finally, a fix for No Child Left Behind It’s probably a safe bet that at one time or another, all of us have been on the receiving end of well-intentioned but misguided policies coming out of Washington. Unfortunately, our public education system is no different.

Whether you’re a parent, student, teacher, school administrator or none of the above, you have likely heard of the problems with No Child Left Behind.

This law was a 2002 update of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which is the chief federal law addressing K-12 education.

There were some good and important changes in No Child Left Behind, but it was riddled with serious issues that we saw firsthand as parents and that I experienced in my role as superintendent of Denver Public Schools.

Fortunately, last month 81 senators came together to pass a long-overdue fix to the law.

The Every Child Achieves Act reforms many of the failed policies from No Child Left Behind, while still maintaining several of the measures that have proven successful.

On the Senate HELP Committee, our office had the opportunity to help write the bill and secure several amendments. We took the lessons we learned from Denver Public Schools

and the countless stories we heard from families, principals, teachers, and kids across Colorado and incorporated them into the new bill.

We fought to include measures to better recruit, train, and retain teachers and principals, reduce federal overreach, encourage innoU.S. Sen. vation, and ensure we Michael Bennet are supporting our rural GUEST schools.

We know that teachCOLUMN ers are the single most important in-school factor affecting the quality of a child’s education. To that end, we included support for teachers to grow in their profession, including allowing them to take on leadership roles in school, such as mentoring other teachers and providing academic coaching. We also worked to include access to higher quality teacher development that has been proven to help teachers grow. And we incorporated sup-

port for teacher and school leader residency programs, modeled off of the Denver Teacher Residency Program, which we developed right here in Colorado.

One of the chief complaints about No Child Left Behind was its prescriptive, top-down approach to help failing schools. In this new bill, we reduced federal overreach and promoted state-driven accountability systems, while still helping to provide kids from all walks of life with a great education. The bill still maintains annual assessments and data to identify and track achievement gaps for different subgroups of students, but we returned the power to states to decide how best to implement plans to fix their lowest-performing schools.

The bill also empowers states to set a limit on the amount of time students will spend taking annual assessments, helping to reduce the impact of testing in our classrooms After hearing from rural communities throughout Colorado, we included a bipartisan package of provisions to help better support our rural schools. These include measures to provide technical assistance to rural school Bennet continues on Page 9

Hearing Continued from Page 1

“This is a chance for everybody from the public to learn about the proposed project. It’s a great way for everybody to come and talk with members and provide feedback,” CDOT Environment Program Manager Jon Chesser said. “It’s really key people come.”

Chesser said the project is “pretty big.”

The new tolled lane will extend in each direction between Interstate 25 and Kipling Parkway, with a second tolled express lane westbound between I-25 and Lucent Boulevard, and eastbound between Broadway and I-25.

“These new lanes, plus new auxiliary lanes where warranted, would supplement the existing non-tolled general purpose lanes. The project also includes pavement reconstruction, alignment improvements and direct-connect ramps at the C-470 and I-25 interchange,” CDOT’s release said.

Chesser said it’s all about giving the driver options. CDOT is recommending a toll lane to give drivers an option, as the toll lane would be something someone traveling would choose to use and pay for, if wanting to get to their destination more efficiently or to avoid traffic.

He said quite a bit of research has been done for those wanting CDOT to do something about noise mitigation on C-470.

“We’ve all talked to people in affected areas and listened to what recommendations they had. This meeting is another chance for people to weigh in on CDOT’s conclusion of that. A lot of taxpayer dollars are being spent on this. I live in High-

Denver resident and Aurora college student Jessica Walsh was at the Highlands Ranch Library studying and said she had no clue about the public access

to the assessments.

“The information is out there, but we don’t know how to find it easily. You know they have two seasons in this state — winter and construction. It feels like this construction never ends here and it affects my everyday commute. Hopefully people will go to the meeting and read up on this,” Walsh said.

It includes many necessary tools to help our states, school districts, principals and teachers ensure the success of the next generation.

Gearing up for Festival Day

Ten days of fun ends Aug. 16

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com

The 87th annual Western Welcome Week got off to a great start and a busy weekend with fireworks on Aug. 7, when the rain just teased the substantial crowd for a minute and Grand Marshal Maurice “Stringy” Ervin was introduced.

There was lots of outdoor fun on Saturday, including gold panning and the Elk’s fishing derby. Saturday night was the city’s second annual Little Jam concert in Bega Park, featuring That Eighties Band playing everything ’80s from punk to hair metal, pop to hard rock.

Sunday morning was a good day to be a kid at Arapahoe Community College, where there were pancakes, balloon animals, Games of Old and the ever-popular Stick Horse Stampede. Later, big kids enjoyed big toys at the Littleton Elks Rod and Custom Car Show.

And don’t forget the big day is almost here. Aug. 15 is Festival Day, featuring the Grand Parade at 10 a.m. But there’s nonstop fun from 6:30 a.m., when you can grab a Grand Western Sandwich at Littleton United Methodist Church, to 10 p.m., when the Littleton Elks will close the bar after a long day and night of dancing.

For the complete schedule, visit www.westernwelcomeweek.org.

Second Coloradan killed by plague

NEWS IN A HURRY Packing for Nepal On Aug. 10, Project CURE and DynamicBuna will host more than 100 adults and children to pack medical supplies for Nepal in an event called “Aftershock: Rebuilding Nepal.”

Three earthquake survivors, members of the Nepalese community in Colorado, will join other volunteers at Project CURE, 10377 E. Geddes Ave. in Centennial, to help pack and sort medical supplies, construct kits for kids, and help prepare much-needed supplies for clinics and hospitals across the country.

Volunteers will enjoy traditional Nepalese food from several restaurants, including India’s Best in Littleton. Entertainment will be provided by legendary Nepalese performers Hiranya Bhojpure and Urmila Shrestha-Bhojpure, Limit-3, and other local Nepalese entertainers. For more information, contact Buna Dahal at 303-7581232 or bunadahal@dynamicbuna.com.

Bacon gets the bronze U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman recently presented Hunter Bacon of Centennial with a 2015 Congressional Bronze medal. The award recognizes voluntary public service,

personal development, physical fitness and exploration.

Hunter, a student at Heritage High School, earned his medal by volunteering at a National Park Marine Sanctuary in the Florida Keys, making the freshman basketball team at Heritage, gaining insight into his religious faith in meetings at Brigham Young University, and camping at the Great Sand Dunes.

This nonpartisan award program is open to all people between the ages of 14 and 23. To learn more about it or to apply, visit www.congressionalaward.org.

‘Blessing of the Animals’ The custom of blessing animals developed in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi’s love for animals. The Littleton United Methodist Church will follow the tradition with a “Blessing of the Animals” worship service at 3 p.m. on Aug. 16 in the church courtyard at 5894 S. Datura St. in Littleton.

“All are welcome,” said Rev. Trudy Robinson. “Bring your domesticated pets and receive a blessing. Give thanks to God for these animals that fill our lives with love.”

Pueblo County resident likely got illness from fleas

By Associated Press A person from southern Colorado has died of the plague, the second person to die of the disease in the state this year.

The unidentified adult from Pueblo County likely died of the relatively rare septicemic form of the disease, said Christine Nevin-Woods, the medical officer for the Pueblo City-County Health Department.

Officials believe the person likely was infected by fleas from a dead rodent or another animal.

In June, a 16-year-old star baseball player from northern Colorado also died of septicemic plague that wasn’t detected until after he passed away. That’s a relatively rare form of the plague that is difficult to diagnose because it isn’t accompanied by the telltale swelling of lymph nodes seen in most plague cases.

Cases of the plague are rare in the United States and most common in the West. Deaths are even rarer. Nationally, an average of seven human plague cases

S2

is reported each year, although Colorado had eight on its own last year. The state has seen in a rise in the number of cases spread by small animals this year, including rabbit fever, after a wet spring created unusually lush vegetation that supported a boom in the animal population.

The most common form of the plague is bubonic, in which the infection spreads through the body’s tissue into the lymphatic system, producing swelling. In septicemic plague, the bacteria directly enters the bloodstream and, without the swelling, its symptoms of fever, chills and abdominal pain can look like the flu.

The third and least common type is pneumatic plague, which involves pneumonia and is capable of spreading among people through coughing.

While all types can be treated and cured when antibiotics are given soon after infection, all of them are deadly when treatment is delayed.

Until this year, the last time someone died of the plague in the United States was in 2013 in New Mexico. Colorado’s last previous plague death was in 2004. Both the New Mexico case and the 2004 Colorado case were septicemic plague cases.

Family fun in the parking lot of Mile High Calvary, in the South Park Centre at Broadway and County Line Road.

Churches find haven in strip mall locations

outh Fellowship Church could be considered ahead of its time.

“Our pastor at the time, Dale Schlafer, was pretty progressive,” said Eva Maxwell, office manager and the pastor’s administrative assistant.

In 1991, Schlafer led the effort to purchase an entire strip mall on Broadway and East Panama Drive, in Littleton but just on the border of Centennial.

“They bought the whole center because it was a different and new thing to do,” said Maxwell.

They set up a sanctuary and opened a day-care center and a coffee shop, Solid Grounds, the revenues from which help support the church’s mission of “glorifying God by making disciples through Gospel transformation, life-giving community and visible faith.”

Maxwell said the situation appeals to people who might not be drawn to a traditional church building.

“We get to touch a lot of people who don’t feel like they’re coming to an established church, per se,” she said. “It broadens our opportunities to serve the community and be a presence.”

South Fellowship now offers space to outside groups that complement its mission, said Maxwell, including Rock Solid, which is a home-school supplement group, and Renewed Treasures, which is a consignment store operated by Love Inc., a Littleton-based nonprofit that offers a “hand up, not a hand out” to those in need. The church does not charge rent but does accept donations, said Maxwell.

What South Fellowship leaders probably didn’t know in 1991 was that by 2015, churches in commercial spaces would be a common phenomenon for a variety of reasons.

‘You are the church’ In the case of South Fellowship, the shopping center is an end game.

“Right now God has us here, and this is where we plan to stay,” said Maxwell.

But for Pastor Fernando Ortiz at Mile High Calvary, moving into the South Park Centre at Broadway and West County Line Road (also in Littleton but at the border with Highlands Ranch) was a step up. Before the move five years ago, his congregation was meeting at a recreation center. He’s not opposed to the church having its own building someday, but land to build on is getting harder to come by, he notes.

“But a building isn’t a church. A shopping center isn’t a church. It’s the people that make up the church,” he said. “Jesus said, ‘You are the church.’

A building doesn’t dictate who or what you’re all about.”

His attitude reflects a shift in thinking, with more contemporary congregations trying to draw in younger members to replace the aging populations in more traditional churches, according to David Roozen, director of the Hartford Institute for Religion Research at Hartford Seminary.

But James Hudnut-Beumler, former dean of Vanderbilt Divinity School, writes on Hartford’s website about traditional pastors resisting the

move away from “edifice complex,” or the desire to create a tribute to God. “Places of worship are symbolically close to where the action of the holy occurs,” he said. “Indeed, clerical resistance may come either from the clergy’s own interests in redirecting funding away from capital improvements and toward program, or from understanding all too well the true religious significance their parishioners place in ‘improving’ the place where God is worshipped as a modernday form of ritual sacrifice.”

A business decision But for some churches, the moves aren’t based on philosophy and aren’t good news. In 2010, a national Faith Communities Today survey found that 68 percent of congregations reported financial hits during the “great recession,” with nearly 20 percent calling the hit substantial.

“The downward trend was in place before the recession hit,” said Roozen. “But the recession has contributed to extending the decline.”

Thus was created a match made in heaven. Centers filled anchor spots, keeping at bay crime and vandalism that can plague centers with high vacancies, and churches got cheap rent and lower maintenance costs.

“The sheer cost of continually building and improving religious buildings has not escaped the notice of religious leaders,” writes Hudnut-Beumler. “When they are not leading building projects, they have typically been found lamenting the waste that goes into building instead of mission and programmatic spending.”

The 2008 Hartford Institute survey found that 47 percent of megachurch income goes to employee salaries and benefits, compared to 13 percent for missions and benevolence.

“We are not out to become a megachurch,” said Maxwell. “Our pastor’s vision is to be a church-planting church, and start churches in other areas of the city.”

A bad sign?

Not everyone is a fan of the situation, especially those entities that benefit from sales tax. Mile High Calvary pays property taxes through its rent, and South Fellowship’s coffee shop generates sales tax on items like coffee mugs and teapots. But the churches themselves are tax-exempt, and as long as they’re behind a storefront, that’s one less tax-generating business that isn’t.

Paul Rutledge, vice president with CBRE Group in Los Angeles, during a Shopping Centers Today panel in March, called churches a sign of a dying retail property, along with unemployment offices, bingo parlors and motor-vehicle divisions.

“But try evicting a church if it stops paying rent,” he quipped.

Maxwell said several real-estate agents have inquired as to whether South Fellowship has any interest in selling the strip mall, and she understands the potential for redevelopment of the site. But the church is not going anywhere, she said.

“Our goal is that if anything should happen to South Fellowship Church,” she said, “we would want the community to miss us.”

New hybrid eatery opens mid-August Brilliant chef Justin Brunson, the culinary brains behind Masterpiece Deli and Old Major, has come up with a new hybrid restaurant called Honor Society Handcrafted Eatery, which is slated to open mid-August at 1900 16th St. Brunson and his crew threw a hearty party on July 30 for invited guests to sample and sip what this fast-casual hybrid concept has to offer.

Guests munched on lovely bites of Red Bird Farm chicken, flank steak, pizza and hand-crafted juice cocktails. Brunson told me that the original concept included a juice bar, but he put the kibosh on that because a bar that offers liquor comes with a much higher profit margin.

The new restaurant will cater to office workers and the pedestrian crowd in the area. The partners behind the new fastfine restaurant concept, Honor Society Handcrafted Eatery, have announced their management team including executive chef Craig Dixon; general manager Hany Solh; catering manager Jessica Smith; and bar manager Angie Batillo.

Bittersweet has new menu My former Denver Post BFF Margaret Jackson and I dined at Bittersweet, a 4-year-old Washington Park West neighborhood spot, to check out the new menu that owner/co-chef Olav Peterson says has more options and smaller plates for sharing. Call it a response to the evolution of Denver dining.

Peterson said that the menu revamp was inspired by his customers who were typically ordering a couple of appetizers to share and splitting an entree. His artisanal approach to handcrafted cuisine has resulted in a new menu with more options and smaller plates, encouraging more sharing and tasting among guests.

Previously, the menu featured 14 items; the updated, expanded menu features 18 items and smaller portion sizes, allowing guests to try more dishes during one dining experience while allowing Bittersweet

Castle Rock/Franktown

to lower prices per item. Rather than separating appetizers from entrees and so on, the menu is organized by the item’s origin — from the garden, from the water or from the field — and all dishes are similar in portion size.

Penny Parker In tandem with MILE HIGH the new menu, Bittersweet also will LIFE launch its “Thursday Tasting Menu” this month, comprised of four courses with wine pairings, and priced at $50 per person.

PART 1 OF 3

A course is a course, of course — not so fast In Colorado high school cross-country, a variety of surfaces challenge runners

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com High school cross-country athletes who like variety are happy to be running in Colorado.

Course surfaces in the state include grass, dirt, cinder, concrete and asphalt.

Some are relatively flat, while others feature inclines. Some have water crossings.

“Cross-country in other states is like on golf courses,” said Paxton Smith, a senior for defending 5A champion Mountain Vista. “That’s where a lot of races are held. A lot of that is because it’s fast. Golf courses are fast on that nice true grass.

“In Colorado, you don’t see that very often. There are races on grass — they are there — but somewhere else you would race on grass courses every week. You can race with spikes on grass. Here in Colorado, we race a lot more on dirt and concrete.

You can’t run in spikes. The thing with dirt, when you have a couple hundred kids out there, running it gets dusty. Sometimes, dirt can be slow.”

One of the most unique courses in the state is at deKoevend Park in Centennial, where the Arapahoe Warrior Invitational is held. Runners start on grass and run along the High Line Canal trail. There is a little cement, plus two water jumps, during the race, which will be Sept. 4 this season.

Last season after heavy rains, runners had trouble crossing the rising water in Little Dry Creek.

“It’s a unique course because we do have water crossings at two different points,” said Arapahoe girls coach Jeff Krause. “Last year, we pretty much had a flash flood before the race, so the water was about chest deep on some of the kids as they went in. It was pretty memorable for them.”

Many runners rank it as one of the most difficult courses in Colorado.

“There’s pretty much a little bit of everything in the course,” said Cherry Creek senior Lilly Markusch. “It has a couple hills, so it is kind of hard. It’s a fun course because you get to jump in the water, which is kind of cool.”

With the diversity of courses in Colorado, times can be irrelevant — tougher tracks yield slower times, while easier courses make for a faster pace.

V s

At last year’s Arapahoe Warrior Invitational at deKoevend Park in Centennial, heavy rains swelled the flow in the High Line Canal, transforming the traditional water jump into a thigh-deep wade through rushing water. File photo “I never worry too much about times in cross-country,” said Smith. “It’s nice to have quick times, but I definitely worry more about that during the track season.

It’s all place in cross-country. That’s what colleges care about — that’s what wins team titles and that’s what matters.”

Many runners cite the course for the state meet at Norris-Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs as another of the toughest. It features a challenging hill and a creek crossing.

Cherry Creek senior Katie Plomondon is among those who say the course is daunting, but she also agrees the time it takes to traverse a track is less important than where you finish in the pack.

“We don’t really worry about time,” she said, “unless we are running on a real fast course and we are running for a specific time and not place.”

Golfers seek winning mentality High school sport requires correct thought process

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com In golf, one bad shot, a dreadful hole or a harsh break can send scores soaring.

It happens in all levels of the sport, but especially in the high school ranks.

Accurate drives, excellent approach shots and precise putting are essential.

But for a player to do those things on the course, a strong mental game is imperative.

“Golf has unique challenges on the mental side of the game,” said MetaGolf instructor Matt Long, Valor Christian’s boys golf assistant and mental coach. “The nature of it with being out there for five hours or more, you don’t have the reactionary part of it. It’s just you and the ball and it’s all self-initiated. There is just too much time between shots for you to think yourself into some bad places. It has a huge impact on the game.”

Lakewood coach Alan Gonzales agrees.

He emphasizes playing it forward. In golf, he said, it’s important to learn to forget.

“We can’t be afraid to fail,” he said. “We hit shots that we know we can make — if

PLAYERS TO WATCH A list of some of the top south metro area high school boys golfers for the 2015 season: Tim Amundson, Valor Christian; Casey Chipman, Castle View; Jack Crisp, Highlands Ranch; Austin Hardman, Mountain Vista; Subin Lee, Cherry Creek; Nick Leibold, Heritage; Reese Leiker, Heritage; Philip Nelson, Legend; David Packer, Arapahoe; Chris Raap, Mountain Vista; Scott Robb, Littleton; David Roney, Douglas County; Justin Vaughn, Lutheran; Coby Welch, Valor Christian; Tyler Zang, Highlands Ranch; Ryan Zetwick, Rock Canyon

they work that’s great, if they don’t work we put it out of our mind. We learn from it but don’t dwell on it, drop our head and keep working hard.”

Senior Kevin Liao and sophomore Jack Castiglia are two Lakewood golfers who wrestle with problems but have become mentally tougher.

Liao has a tendency to be hard on himself. Castiglia is a short hitter, trying to keep up with the long drivers.

“I’m hard on myself after a bad shot, but it’s even worse to keep thinking about that and making your round even worse,” said Liao. “After a bad shot, I used to focus

on what I did wrong on the swing and things like that. It used to be difficult for me. As long as you are focusing on what you want to do after the bad shot, it takes your mind off that bad shot. If you have the confidence to know your swing is at a good place, then you need to know you have the confidence to hit good shots.”

Castiglia plays his own game and doesn’t try to outdrive everybody, which is another test of being mentally strong.

“I know that on long holes I’m going to have to use my short game. While others are hitting short irons in, I am hitting hybrids in,” said Castiglia. “I have to play my own game. I am starting to hit the ball farther, but I know I’m still going to be 30 yards behind everybody else. I can’t play anybody else’s game other than my own.”

Arapahoe senior David Packer tied for fifth in last fall’s Class 5A state championship tournament and has a unique way of erasing bad thoughts.

“When I was younger, I used to hold onto a bad shot or a bad hole for a long time,” Packer said. “You’ve got to learn one shot at a time, forget the previous shot. I tend to think of a song I heard on the road driving to the course and try to run that through my head between shots, instead of thinking about golf 24/7 on the course.

Overthinking is definitely bad.”

Arapahoe High School’s David Packer is expected to be among the area’s top golfers this season. Courtesy photo

Quite the catch Player behind the plate is key to softball success

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com A basketball point guard and a softball catcher have much in common. Both players take charge and are team leaders.

High school softball catchers touch the ball about 90 percent of the time. So they need to be athletic to block

pitches and straddle the plate on plays at home, have a strong throwing arm, work with pitchers, set up defenses, correctly frame pitches, and establish a rapport with the home plate umpire.

In short, catchers run the show just like a point guard takes charge of a basketball team.

“For me, catchers are important for the leadership of the whole game,” said Rock Canyon coach Debbie Kortbawi. “I call them the captain. They are the ones in command. They can see everything. It’s their job to command Catch continues on Page 23

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUG. 10, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid adding to the tension around you. Even a well-meant reaction against something you perceive as unfair could be misunderstood. Let things calm down, and then talk about it.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for romance for unattached Bovines, and a good time for reinforcing the bonds between partners. Children’s needs are important during the latter part of the week.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A compliment from a surprising source sends you wafting way up into the clouds, where -- sorry to say -- your view of what’s going on is obscured. Come on down and face some reality.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Even a family-loving person like you sometimes can feel you’re at the end of the line with contentious kinfolk. But things can work out. Remember that it’s better to talk than walk.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A job-related move might hold more positive surprises than you’d expected. Go into it with confidence, and look for all the advantages it offers. Then decide what you’ll do with what you find.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Driving yourself too hard to get something done on a deadline you set up can backfire. Ease into a more realistic finish date, and add more breaks to your work schedule.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your sense of humor can brighten any dark period, and your laughter can dispel those gray clouds swirling around you. The weekend presents a surprising but welcome change.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Be careful about the words you use, especially in touchy situations. The old Chinese saying that the spoken word is silver, but the unspoken gold could well apply here.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Some facts could emerge to shed light on unresolved past problems. What you learn also might help explain why a once-warm relationship suddenly cooled down.

Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Don’t let your pride get in the way of checking into what could be a great new opportunity. Get the facts first, and worry about procedure and protocol later.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A health problem in the family might have other relatives assuming that, as before, you’ll take over the health-care duties. Surprise them and insist they share in the caretaking.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A series of changes can be unsettling, but in the long run, it can pay off with new perspectives on what you plan to do. Keep your mind open to the possibilities that might well lie ahead.
