New emergency medical facility up for vote in Centennial Residents have traffic concerns; city says proposed use valid

“We don’t need it, and the traffic impact will be terrible.”

Carol Warner Centennial resident

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After a vote of approval by a city commission, Centennial is close to greenlighting a new emergency-room facility at the corner of East Dry Creek Road and South Colorado Boulevard.

Some residents have expressed concern over possible traffic problems the new medical center — which would be called either the Dry Creek Family Emergency Center or the Centennial Family Emergency Center — could pose to the area.

“We don’t need it, and the traffic impact will be terrible,” said Carol Warner, a resident who spoke against the proposal at an Oct. 11 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.

That commission approved the plan, which didn’t require a rezoning because the area has a general commercial zoning designation, by a vote of 6-1.

City council will have the final vote at its Nov. 13 meeting. If approved, the center is expected to open in 2018, with an eight-month construction period that would likely start in early 2018.

Warner, one of 10 residents who opposed the plan at the public hearing during that meeting, argues that the facility is unnecessary because there are already enough urgent care and emergency room locations within a five-

mile radius of the intersection.

“I live in the neighborhood a little to the north of (the intersection), and I can barely get out of my neighborhood to turn south” in the morning and evening rush hour, said Warner, who had lived in the Knolls neighborhood for 40 years and has lived in the Vista Pointe neighborhood for three. She’s worried that the traffic that she says gets backed up to South Dexter Way on westbound East Dry Creek Road in the evening will be worsened by the proposal and that drivers’ only viable option would be to cut through nearby neighborhoods.

Warner said another neighborhood, Bella Vista, which sits immediately east of the proposed site, could have the entry and exit to their neighborhood — East Hinsdale Circle — blocked by backed up traffic.

Dr. Henry Higgins, the CEO of the company that aims to open the facility, has had meetings with city officials and neighbors in the area. Higgins said there’s been positive and negative feedback.

“A lot of the negative feedback is from people just not understanding what we’re building,” said Higgins, whose company

is called Family Emergency Rooms LLC and is based in Texas. “They’re afraid we’re trying to put an inner-city ER in their neighborhood, and that’s just not the case. We’re not gonna have a lot of noisy sirens” based on the population demographics of the city, he said.

Higgins said having an emergency center not attached to a hospital benefits both doctors and patients.

“We feel that by removing the hospitals owning everything, it allows the doctors to greatly increase the care that’s offered,” Higgins said. It’s “much better faster, more convenient and for less cost ... we also have the benefit of not having any waiting for your care.

There’s hardly any waiting in our emergency rooms.”

Tamara Hunter-Maurer, a city council candidate for District 2, sent the city an email in December concerned about the two-story design allowing people in the proposed building to look into homes to the northeast. But the city says the building would be only one story with an architectural tower, according to Allison Wittern, spokeswoman for Centennial.

Maurer, a vice president of the Centennial Council of Neighborhoods — or

CenCON — raised the issue of a lack of pedestrian lights on the south and west sides of the building as well as her concern that other lights on the property would be high enough to disturb townhomes nearby. The city has addressed those issues, and light spill to the homes was decreased, Wittern said.

According to the city’s online traffic count data, the intersection at East Dry Creek Road and South Colorado Boulevard is not among the busiest major intersections in Centennial. Points along East Smoky Hill Road, South Buckley Road, East County Line Road, South University Boulevard and several points along East Arapahoe Road outpace it by thousands of cars per day.

But Warner and other residents are still concerned about traffic, partly because a gas station sits immediately north of the site. Access to the site would be limited to a right-turn entry and right-turn exit on East Dry Creek Road, and one right-turn entry on South Colorado Boulevard. Barring left-hand turns in or out is better for safety, the city said.

“If you come between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., it’s not that bad,” Warner said.

“But as far as I know, emergencies are not scheduled.”

There are at least three emergencyroom facilities within a five-mile radius of the site, but the proposal’s applicant said there are opportunities for use of the new medical facility in the community. The facility would offer emergencyroom care 24/7.

The city said that putting a medical facility of that nature at the site would be the least traffic-intensive use for that area.

Centennial program encourages tree planting STAFF REPORT

Centennial residents can purchase trees at a discounted price through the city’s pilot tree program.

Five types of trees will be available — Kentucky coffeet-

ree, autumn brilliance serviceberry, summer charm lilac, swamp white oak and Turkish filbert/hazelnut. Trees offered through the program will have a trunk diameter of 1 to 1 1/2 inches and range in height from 5-12 feet, with none

weighing more than 70 pounds.

All trees must be planted on residential private property in the city, with a limit of one tree per household. The trees are not warrantied, although they are grown specifically for the climate and soil conditions

found in most parts of Colorado and generally have a high survival rate.

The Centennial tree program encourages tree planting, helps ensure tree diversity, beautifies our neighborhoods, shades homes to help conserve energy

Former deputy killed outside sheriff’s office

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A former Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office deputy is dead after a confrontation outside the sheriff ’s office headquarters in Centennial just before 10 p.m. Oct. 29.

Mark Bidon, 50, was approached by an on-duty deputy who observed Bidon in a vehicle backed into the exit gate area of the sheriff ’s office, according to a news release by ACSO. Two other deputies arrived soon after, and Bidon pointed a gun at one of them, the release states, and deputies fired at Bidon, killing him. The deputies were not injured.

The sheriff ’s office headquarters is located at 13101 E. Broncos Parkway.

Bidon was an Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s deputy from 2000-10, when he resigned, according to the release.

The names of the deputies involved in the shooting were not released.

They have been placed on administrative leave or temporarily reassigned pending an external review of the incident by the 18th Judicial District’s Critical Response Team.

“This is a difficult day for our entire agency,” Sheriff Dave Walcher said in the news release. “Not only are we needing to support our deputies who have been involved in this critical incident, we also want to provide support to those employees who previously worked with the suspect and may be affected by these events.”

No further information was released.

Project Poultry helps needy in Honduras Parker merchant’s program reaches out to poor families

Pedro Sortososa, foreman of Project Poultry, holds up two of the 10 hens that will be provided to help establish a large brood of chickens for a poor family in the mountains of Honduras.

The aim of Project Poultry, founded by Parker businessman Lanny York, is to provide the starting elements of a chicken and egg business with family members working to care for the chickens and assist in helping the flock grow.

York said the idea is to make the project a helping hand not a handout.

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lanny York admits he quickly gained a lot of knowledge about chickens when he decided to found Project Poultry in February as a way to help improve the quality of life for poor families in Northern Honduras.

“About all I knew about chickens was they were good to eat but I knew nothing about how to raise chickens until we started this program,” the Parker business owner said. “It was a steep learning curve but fortunately the Hondurans who worked with us on the project knew all about raising chickens and were patient in educating me.”

York stressed the program is designed to be a hand up not a hand out.

“Volunteers build the 12-footby-8-foot chicken coop and provide 10 hens and a rooster as

PHOTO COURTESY OF LANNY YORK

brood stock,” he said. “That is the helping hand part because the family has to provide all the wood needed for the coop and signs a contract that once they have the chicken, they will work to feed and take care of them so the flock will grow.”

A hen typically lays about an egg a day. About half the eggs are fertilized and the family agrees to not to eat or sell any of the fertilized eggs for the first six months so they will

hatch and grow the size of the flock. After six months, the family is in business. They can sell or eat eggs and sell or eat some of the chickens. Also, at the end of six months, the family returns five adult hens to the program.

“I learned a hen can begin laying eggs when it is 4 1/2 months old. The eggs that hatch help grow the flock,” he said. “Most of the 10 families that began the program in

St.Nick’s NOVEMBER 3rd,4th, and 5th (10-6)

February with 11 chickens had 25 to 30 chickens in their flock in September.”

When he decided to start the program in the mountains around the village of San Antonio de Cortes, he enlisted the assistance of local chicken business owner Pedro Sortososa and the local city government.

“Fortunately Pedro was willing to educate me about raising chickens and the mayor

P

and local officials were willing to help me identify the most needy families that would benefit from the program,” he said. “Pedro works with us to set up the project for the family, then he manages the program by visiting families in the program once a week to assist them if they need help and to make sure they are doing all that is needed to keep the chickens healthy and the flock growing.”

York, 62, said he first went to Honduras almost five years ago to work with International Hope Builders, a Christian organization building houses out of Styrofoam blocks for families living in extreme poverty in the northern mountains.

“Providing a house for a family was fine but it didn’t help them shake off the chains of poverty,” he said. “About a year ago, working with local Hondurans, I established Hand Up International. Our first project offered to a helping hand by creating a scholarship program so children and young people could receive a solid education. In February, we started Project Poultry by SEE POULTRY, P5

providing a family with a chicken flock.

The idea is for the new chicken owners to work hard at building the size of the flock so they can feed the family or launch a chicken and egg business.”

York was born in Indiana, raised in Southern California and attended Point Loma Nazarene College in San Diego, where he majored in business with a minor in ministry.

“We eventually moved to the Denver area in 1974 to follow my call to the ministry and my passion for missions so I could join the staff at Denver First Church of the Nazarene in Englewood,” he said. “I was on staff until June 1990. I went into business and continued to pursue my passion for ministry and missions as an individual, which led me in 2005 to join International Home Builders. I started my own mission ministry, Operation Hand Up International, in 2014, which is sustained by only by grants and donations. We work with and are affiliated with Christ’s Hands In Action, a non-denominational evangelical outreach organization enabling missions. ” He and his wife live in Aurora. They have three grown children and nine grandchildren. York is president and senior owner of Mountain States Payment Network in Parker. His firm sells, owns and services automated teller machines for business throughout the metro area.

He said he plans to continue the scholarship project and Project Poultry, plus, in September, he started Project Plant, which helps poor families plant and tend vegetable gardens.

Times are tough, but options exist for first-time homebuyers White-hot real estate market may be easing slightly

THE PRICE OF A HOME The following are the median sales prices of single-family homes in September for communities throughout the Denver metro area, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. At right is the percentage increase or decrease as compared to September 2016.

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lacy Franks makes being a firsttime homebuyer sound easy.

Franks, who grew up in Black Hawk, bought her first home last September, a two-bedroom townhome just off I-225 in Aurora, for $220,000 after three months of searching throughout the metro area.

The 26-year-old was able to plunk down a $20,000 down payment, using savings she originally intended to spend on medical school. When her career goals took her elsewhere, she decided to get in on Denver’s hot real estate market.

“My friends all dreamed of getting married, but I wanted to buy a house,” Franks said.

Franks had no debt, thanks to a fullride college scholarship, so getting a loan wasn’t hard.

For those with debt, smaller savings accounts or bad credit, buying that first home can be a lot trickier — especially in a metro area that’s seen costs skyrocket and starter home construction stagnate, said Andrew Abram, a Realtor with Vision Real Estate who’s on the committee that prepares the Market Trends Report for the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.

Market trends The median sales price for singlefamily homes in the Denver metro area in September was $409,000, up 7.6 percent since last year, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors report, and inventory is down more than 5 percent. For condos and townhomes, the median sales price was $268,000, up 11.2 percent over the same time last year.

However, things may be looking up for first-time buyers, Abram said, as condo construction is finally picking up after more than a decade of stagnation commonly blamed on the socalled construction defects law, which established a low threshold for suing condo builders.

Condos, commonly seen as a steppingstone for first-time buyers, saw construction increase nearly 20 percent over this time last year, according to the DMAR report, which may be attributable to the impact of House Bill 1279, a law that took effect this year that raises the standards for suing builders.

While the median sale price of condos was on the rise, they were staying on the market longer — 39 days on average, up more than 25 percent over last year.

Larger trends suggest the Denver real estate frenzy may be nearing its peak, Abram said, which can ease pressure on first-time buyers.

“It’s still relatively difficult, but it’s slowed down enough recently for first-time homebuyers to actually have time to think about their decision rather than seeing a house and writ-

Lone Tree: $659,000 (+6.3 percent) Golden: $538,450 (-0.1 percent) Highlands Ranch: $469,000 (+6.2 percent) Castle Rock: $466,673 (+7.9 percent) Parker: $462,000 (+6.2 percent) Centennial: $429,000 (+5.9 percent) Littleton: $421,000 (+5.4 percent) Arvada: $415,000 (+3.9 percent) Denver: $415,000 (+9.1 percent) Lakewood: $413,000 (+8.7 percent) Wheat Ridge: $412,450 (+1.8 percent) Metro median: $409,000 (+7.6 percent) Thornton: $370,000 (+12.1 percent) Lacy Franks and her 8-year-old sausagehound Pepper in front of their townhome.

ing an offer on the spot,” Abram said.

“I think that’s much more healthy to allow people some time to think about one of the biggest purchases of their lives.”

Sweetening the deal Plenty of first-time homebuyers will find themselves repeatedly outbid by investors who can lay cash on the barrelhead, said Del Van Essen, a senior loan officer with People’s National Bank, who has worked with first-time buyers for more than 30 years.

“That’s why it’s important to get in with a loan officer at a mortgage company three months before you’re hoping to buy, so you can get pre-approved for a loan,” Van Essen said. “That way, if you have skeletons in your closet, they can help you fix that.”

If you have credit problems, working with collection agencies or getting a secured credit card can improve your credit, Van Essen said.

There are a variety of programs to help first-time buyers come up with a down payment, Van Essen said.

The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, for instance, gives grants of up to 4 percent of a down payment for first-time buyers. The Metro Mortgage Assistance Program and Colorado Housing Assistance Corporation can also help.

Getting pre-approved for a loan means baring it all, Van Essen said, and buyers should be ready to provide paystubs, two years of W2s, tax returns, bank statements, and to have their credit statements pulled.

Buyers can expect to be outbid a few times, Abram said, so it’s important not to get too fixated on a particular property.

“It is an exhaustive process,” Abram said. “At first it’s so much fun, then you get emotionally attached to a property, then you might put in an offer and not get it. Stick with it.”

Buyers with less up-front cash can incentivize sellers by offering to waive appraisal contingencies, Abram said, or by writing a letter to sellers explaining why they connect with the house.

Englewood: $368,950 (+5.4 percent) Westminster: $350,000 (+1.2 percent) Aurora: $351,250 (+11.5 percent) Northglenn: $315,000 (+3.8 percent) “Normally a seller has lived in that house for a long time and have a deep emotional connection,” Abram said.

“Sellers like to connect with someone who’s going to take care of the house.”

Living in a bubble?

With houses in once-middle-class neighborhoods selling for almost half a million dollars, the question remains: Is this a real estate bubble?

“Well, that’s the hundred-thousand-dollar question,” Van Essen said. “There are still a lot of people moving here. There might be some stagnation of prices, but as long as rents are high and people are still coming, prices will probably continue to climb. It’s still a good investment.”

Still, high prices mean that mortgage payments are high as well. Van Essen said at the low end, for a small condo in a less-desirable neighborhood, a buyer can probably expect to pay $1,500 a month — and although such prices are comparable with rent, it means buyers would do well to have an income three times the payment, or $4,500 a month.

Franks said the hassle of buying was well worth it. Her townhome has climbed $20,000 in value since last year, and she’s happy to have a place of her own.

“Plus, I love that I won’t have to move again soon,” she said.

Beloved retiring mail carrier celebrated by neighborhood Post-office worker of 27 years ends career on high note

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On her last day on the job, Ellen Nelson drove through the winding streets of the Homestead Farm neighborhood of Centennial, delivering mail in the cold fall air just like she had done for nearly three decades.

But as she neared the end of her route Oct. 27, she saw dozens of neighbors filing toward her on the sidewalk, bearing gifts, smiles and gratitude most mail carriers never see.

Residents said, “I love yous,” kids hugged her goodbye and even one young Saint Bernard came along with its owner to bid Nelson farewell. The retiring mail carrier is a dog lover, neighbors said — but she is a consummate people lover, too.

“She’d always figure out when kids are going to graduate and write them cards,” said Kathy Conrad, a 53-yearold resident of the neighborhood.

Conrad’s three boys all got cards from Nelson as they graduated from high school.

Chris and Kari Graham recalled how Nelson, 64, helped them through “the most difficult time of our life.

“We have exchanged Christmas gifts and cards for several years,” the Grahams said. “When our son Noah died, Ellen shared a poem with me that was important to her when she lost her grandmother, a poem about `The Dragonfly.’ (We) appreciate her quiet support.”

Going the extra mile, as neighbor Yolanda Bryant put it, was an everyday lifestyle for Nelson, who started as a United States Postal Service mail carrier 27 years ago, serving rural routes in the Golden area. Soon after she began working, the carrier who served Homestead Farm died, and Nelson was sent out to cover the route for three weeks before someone with more seniority took over.

“I said, if I can ever get enough seniority to get that route,” Nelson said wistfully. “This is just such a special place to work.”

The daughter of a mail carrier herself, Nelson’s father kept telling her to take the test and follow in his career path.

“I tried other things, and then I realized he was right,” Nelson said. She worked her way up until she could finally get assigned to the Homestead Farm route, and she served it for 14 years.

“Some carriers, they won’t let (the people) in,” Nelson said. “But oh my gosh, that’s the best part of the job.

The people.”

Nelson lives in Centennial with her dog and cat — her couple of “fourlegged critters” — but the people of Homestead Farm became her family, inviting her to family picnics, sending her family pictures and letting

She once heard that someone’s son said to his father, “You live in a bubble. There’s no other neighborhood like that, where people watch out for each other and it’s safe and it’s just nice.”

“And it was — it was like driving into a bubble to work out here,” said Nelson, who said there are Republicans, Democrats and people of many ethnicities in the neighborhood.

And the people in this small, idyllic neighborhood won’t forget her any time soon.

She was “always friendly. Always helpful, to the point that I feel we stretched her a little thin sometimes with our mail-delivery needs,” said Steve Burkett, 70. She “had a great relationship with an elderly neighbor that we had in the past. She would come after hours and talk with her and walk with her. When the neighbor moved away to another state, Ellen tried to check on her with the nursing home where she was staying.”

Azar Hojabr, 37, remembers how Nelson made an impression the first day they moved to the area.

“She welcomed us very warmly, and she had such an effect on us that I told my husband this must be an amazing neighborhood (that) even the mail lady is so loving and respected,” Hojabr said, adding Nelson made her feel at home. “I always enjoyed watching her work so diligently with such care for everyone’s mail. I am truly sad she’ll be retiring and I won’t get to see her every day.”

Bryant, who organized the surprise celebration for Nelson, met her 10 years ago and discovered hers was the last house on Nelson’s delivery route.

“She always had time to chat,” Bryant, 58, said. “I thought it was because we were her last stop. I later learned she gave the same time and attention to anyone that wanted

to share some news.”

Bryant and other neighbors worked together to raise more than $1,000 in gift cards — to restaurants, movie theaters and more — and they put together the surprise in less than a week.

“I got pretty attached to these

people,” Nelson said. She now plans to restore a four-generation family ranch, which her great-great-grandfather built in southwest Colorado in 1888 after immigrating from Sweden.

But she’ll stay in touch — she plans to come visit and walk the neighborhood’s dogs.

Suit against Parker’s urban renewal authority moves ahead South Metro Fire Rescue says it is losing out to developers

BY TABATHA DEANS STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A district court judge in Douglas County has denied a motion filed by Parker’s urban renewal authority to dismiss a lawsuit brought against it by South Metro Fire Rescue.

South Metro filed the suit June 5, alleging the Parker Authority for Reinvestment distributed funds inappropriately, thus depriving SMFR of revenue needed to provide fire and emergency services to its constituents. South Metro alleges it was shorted more than $300,000 in lost revenue in 2016, with approximately $16 million of potential lost revenue at stake over the 25-year life of PAR. In a written decision dated Oct. 23, Judge Paul King determined South Metro’s suit met two requirements under Colorado’s Urban Renewal Law to proceed, including that “the plaintiff has, then, adequately alleged an injury in fact,” and that South Metro “has a legally protected interest under the Urban Renewal Law, and thus meets both prongs of the test for standing.”

PAR had filed the motion to dismiss June 30, alleging that South Metro lacked the standing to assert its claims.

The lawsuit alleges that “PAR is receiving Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenue assessed by the Douglas County Assessor and paid by the Douglas County Treasurer without complying with the requirements of the Colorado Urban Renewal Law.” “South Metro Fire Rescue (SMFR) is pleased that Douglas County District Court denied the motion to dismiss our lawsuit against the Parker Authority for Reinvestment (PAR) and our case will continue to the fact-finding and discovery phase,” South Metro Chief Bob Baker said in a news release.

“As we have said from the beginning, the Town of Parker’s urban renewal authority is illegally siphoning funds

ABOUT THE PARKER AUTHORITY FOR REINVESTMENT The Town of Parker established PAR in 2006, and according to the urban renewal authority’s mission statement on the town’s website, its goal is “encouraging investment and reinvestment within targeted areas of the community in an effort to enhance and preserve the Town’s vitality…”

PAR receives funding through Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to help finance future improvements, and help alleviate and prevent blight.

PAR comprises the six town council members and Mayor Mike Waid, who serves as its chair. dedicated to the Fire District and giving it to developers.

“The lawsuit asks the court to stop Douglas County from assessing for public safety and giving them to the PAR unless and until the PAR complies with Colorado law.”

The judge’s decision states that “Colorado Revised Statute 31-25-108(9) clearly outlines the arrangement by which SMF should continue to receive tax revenue, PAR should use tax revenue surplus to fund its urban development and rehabilitation programs, and SMF should receive any unused surplus.”

PAR director Jason Rogers responded to the decision in an emailed statement on Oct. 31.

“The Parker Authority for Reinvestment is acting in accordance with Colorado urban renewal law,” he wrote.

“The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority’s allegations are not rooted in fact, and they damage the trust that we’ve worked hard to develop.

“Out of respect for our residents and our community partners, we will refrain from making inflammatory public comments. Instead, we’ll continue to work through the legal system to prevail against this frivolous lawsuit.”

South Metro Fire serves Parker, Lone Tree, Castle Pines, Greenwood Village, much of Centennial and some unincorporated areas of Douglas and Arapahoe counties.

Study sees more evidence linking earthquakes to energy waste wells Raton Basin injection scenario is similar to what is seen in Oklahoma

BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS

Scientists say they have more evidence that an increase in earthquakes on the Colorado-New Mexico border since 2001 has been caused by wells

that inject wastewater from oil and gas production back underground, similar to human-caused quakes in Oklahoma and other states.

A paper published recently by researchers at the University of Colorado concluded that the wastewater caused a big enough increase in underground pressure to make rock formations slip along fault lines.

“You find that the pressure changes at a given depth are enough to trigSEE QUAKES, P11

For the fifth consecutive year, Frances Carbonnel of Castle Rock reigns as champion in the Western dressage world.

During the last week of September, Carbonnel participated in a musical freestyle competition, where she bade her horse to passage, piaffe and pirouette. In other words, her horse can dance professionally on command.

The 2017 Western Dressage World Championship Show in Guthrie, Oklahoma, held about 800 rides, but an 18-year-old Andalusian stallion named Esteban B and his 68-year-old rider stole the show as Carbonnel took home two world championships.

With the help of Jubilee Banjo, who she calls her “mutt: an Andalusian mixed with Heinz 57,” she also earned four reserve championships.

Carbonnel grew up in Wyoming, and moved to the area in 1980. Her parents promised her first horse at 13, but after begging and pleading, Lady was hers two years ahead of schedule.

“When my folks got me that horse, they cut off all of her mane so I’d have nothing to hold onto,” she said.

“They said, ‘When you learn to ride we’ll buy you a saddle.’ ” Despite having no mane to grab onto, no saddle, and needing to scour 500 acres each time she wanted to practice, young Carbonnel learned to be an excellent rider.

The Western Dressage Association of America started six years ago, and asked Carbonnel, now a recipient of a gold medal at the Grand Prix level from the United States Dressage Federation, to be a founding member to help strike a balance between dressage and Western riding.

“My stallion Fino and I worked many years for that, patiently training and competing up through all the levels, so it is the most expensive piece of jewelry I own,” she said.

Carbonnel said she prefers Western because it’s a little softer, and she found English to be extremely stressful for herself and her horse.

She now does three to five shows each year, as well as exhibitions like Boulder County Fair’s Ballet on Horseback, a staple in her routine since her friend started it 17 years ago.

“At all of the shows, I ride,” she said. “But more importantly my students ride, and that carries on my legacy.”

She has countless students, some of whom she calls ‘sweetie’ and has been meeting for lessons for the last 20 years.

One of her fondest memories around the barn happened about five years ago when she had a knee replacement, and realized how supportive her students were.

“They really helped me literally get back on my feet and into the saddle again, and my horses seemed to understand and be especially gentle too,” she said.

A month later, she was riding and teaching again.

During a recent lesson, Carbonnel called out to her student, “Sit down in your saddle. That’s what you SEE DRESSAGE, P11

ger earthquakes,” said Jenny Nakai, the paper’s lead author and a doctoral student at the university.

The paper, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, is the latest to link wastewater injection wells to earthquakes.

Most oil and gas wells produce at least some wastewater that is too salty to use, so regulators allow energy companies to pump it back underground to get rid of it.

Researchers have linked earthquakes in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas to wastewater injection.

Oklahoma had only a few dozen earthquakes of magnitude-3.0 or greater in 2012 but had more than 900 in 2015. The number dropped to closer to 600 last year after state regulators directed energy companies to close some injection wells or reduce the volume of water they inject.

In the Raton Basin of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, earthquakes began to increase in 2001, about two years after large-scale wastewater injection began, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The wastewater comes from wells that extract natural gas from underground coal beds.

The biggest quake in the basin since 2001 was magnitude-5.3 in 2011. It caused minor damage to buildings in

Trinidad, Colorado, about 15 miles from the epicenter.

A 2014 paper by the Geological Survey blamed injection wells for the area’s quakes. The new University of Colorado study went further, using computer models and records of wastewater injection to conclude that enough pressure built up to cause the quakes.

Justin Rubinstein, a geophysicist with the Geological Survey who was the lead author of the 2014 paper, said the computer models have been used in other locations but not in the Raton Basin before now.

Rubinstein was not involved in the University of Colorado study and said he was not familiar with all its details but that the general conclusions made sense.

“It’s consistent with what my research has shown,” he said.

The University of Colorado study also found that the Raton Basin earthquakes were more widespread than previously thought, said Nakai, the lead author.

Earlier studies focused on the Colorado portion of the basin because that was the site of a 2001 swarm of 12 quakes — the strongest was magnitude-4.6 — as well as the 5.3 quake in 2011.

But seismometers recorded 1,881 quakes in the area between 2008 and 2010, and 1,442 of them were in New Mexico, Nakai said. The strongest was magnitude-3.8.

The 2008-2010 data came from a temporary deployment of seismometers as part of two other research projects funded by the National Science Foundation, Nakai said.

bought it for.”

Later during a lull, she talked with the student about her hip coming slightly forward, and how the horse fishtailed in response.

“Your horse is your best instructor. I’m just the one who tells you

what she’s thinking,” she said.

Aside from teaching students, she also teaches trainers. For the last six years, she’s traveled across the country, working with about 450 trainers with the Train the Trainers program.

She is now totally devoted to her horses and her work as a trainer.

“I am married to my vocation now,” Carbonnel joked. “I am afraid my horses are my kids.”

VOICES We need to apologize for this sorry state of affairs

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

B

renda Lee’s comin’ on strong. I’m sorry, so sorry, please accept my apology.

For what I said in the high school cafeteria to Dottie Danford.

For what I said in the art building elevator at UCLA to Magenta O’Toole.

For what I said at an art reception 30 years ago to one of my students.

Apologies — almost all of them coming from men — are flying around like locusts. One begets another out of someone else, out of someone else, out of someone else.

The male animal isn’t looking so good right now. Men are apologizing for things they said

or did when Truman was in office.

Apologies in the moment count the most. Going back decades reminds me of the joke about the farmer’s new scarecrow.

I’ll get to that.

I am outspoken. I forgot to pick up my filter at the cleaners. It’s been there for about 10 years.

I am blunt, I blurt, I often don’t speak softly.

Sometimes it’s called for.

We tried a gelato for the first time. It comes in a twist-top container. The twist-top didn’t twist.

I used jar openers on it, I tapped it with a spoon. Finally, I took a hammer to it, and loosened the top.

I expressed myself to the home office down

there in Texas.

It’s almost impossible to say or write anything without offending someone somewhere.

I might have offended Brenda Lee for getting her involved in this.

If that’s true, I’m sorry. Lee (1944) was the topselling (solo) female vocalist in the 1960s. “Little Miss Dynamite” is 4 feet 9 inches.

One of her hits, “Comin’ on Strong,” is referred to in Golden Earring’s song “Radar Love.”

I’m sorry about all of these song references, but I can’t help myself.

Pay it forward Let’s “pay it forward” by supporting South Suburban Park and Recreation District’s Ballot Issues 4B and 4C. Our community has a great opportunity to continue a collective quest for better health for all. We will meet individual challenges by supporting trail development and connections, parks, ball fields, courts, open space areas and recreational facilities which provide the basis for making choices of how we are going to live and thrive.

We are fortunate to benefit from the foresight and wise decisions of earlier citizens supporting previous SSPRD ballot issues. We are able to enjoy and use this vast array of recreational options

and now it is our time to continue that support for us as well as future generations. The SSPRD has demonstrated over many years’ excellence in planning and careful fiscal management for the benefit of our community. Let’s make sure we continue these opportunities of a Gold Medal Recreational District by supporting the two ballot issues 4B and 4C. Please vote yes on Ballot issues 4B and 4C. Kay Geitner Centennial (former member of the South Suburban board of directors)

Not the right way Referring to ballot measures 4B and 4C, though each has many admirable points to it, all of which I support, each measure has an open ended provision.

In 4B, the 1 mill property levy and the 2 mill property tax levy are to “be extended in all future years,” and in 4C, the debt service levy of 1.163 mills “may be increased if necessary annually without limitation as to rate.”

It was also disappointing to find no comments against either measure in the Analysis of 2017 Ballot Proposals book- V let, from which the above quotes came.

While I am in favor of the complete u repeal of TABOR, I think a democratic b representative government, at all levels, t needs to make sure its officials seek v monetary increases in a consistent man- t ner, not just a one-time vote with such a P decision going on forever, and so I will f vote no on each one. r Ken Valero t Littleton t

Vote no on 4B South Suburban Parks and Recreation is awesome and very much appreciated.

However, Ballot Issue 4B can be misunderstood. The vote isn’t specifically about funding, it’s about the sunset provision currently in place. Voting “yes” means eliminating the sunset provision…a big mistake causing the voters to lose leverage to approve future funding increases on a case-by-case basis.

So instead, vote “no” to keep the voters in charge and force the SSPR district to come to the voters every time the funding vehicle is due for review.

I’m a big supporter of SSPR and the awesome amenities, programs and staff !

But this ballot issue isn’t about that or actually funding to ensure programs stay. It’s only about the sunset provision, so vote no to maintain the sunset provision.

love played a critical role in our own growth and development, our feelings, the encouragement of others and in the way we have done things in our own life. I am certain we can look back on the many people in our lives who showed us love, and we remember them with great fondness and appreciation. They were not “in love” with us, but they loved us, loved on us and took great care of us physically, mentally and emotionally. They have loved us enough to lead us spiritually too.

But what about the people we were

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

I am not going to mention you-knowwhom, who is the most talked-about offender right now.

Or you-know-whom, who paid someone $32 million not to blab about his indiscretions.

Or you-know-whom, who used to perform comedy at the defunct Turn of the Century nightclub on East Hampden.

There are crimes in all of this, and there are misdemeanors.

Stepping on someone’s toes, physically or philosophically, happens all of the time to all of us.

You’re having a bad day, and it shows up in a barbed comment to a co-worker.

Vote for quality of life As a South Suburban resident, I urge you to vote yes on South Suburban’s 4B and 4C ballot issues. These two ballot issues protect our property values by extending the funding for the stellar work that South Suburban Park and Recreation District performs. It is imperative to support recreation and our quality of life because the recreation centers, golf courses, trails, and classes that SSPRD manages and maintains allow everyone to participate in whatever recreation best suits them.

Issue 4B focuses on the maintenance and preservation of existing assets, while 4C focuses on providing future major upgrades and additional amenities for residents of all ages. Voting yes on both issues will also improve water and energy efficiency in our parks, fields, and facilities, something that should be important to everyone.

Visitors are always impressed by our many recreation options, the gorgeous views, sunsets, rivers and creeks, and the wildlife we often see along the trails. Our recreation centers are also a great option for any

“in-love” with? Are we still in love with them? Can we remember what being in love felt like and why we fell in love? If we still possess those feelings, that is awesome. Sometimes however, we forget too quickly or slowly, over time we can become complacent when it comes to those “in love” feelings.

Maybe we don’t see it or feel it coming from the other person, or maybe we have stopped showing the same amount of “in love” feelings ourselves.

What was it that we did yesterday and why and when did we slow down or stop? What has been the impact on our relationships? Whatever it is, let’s look now through new loving and re-energized eyes and hearts.

The good news is that today, right

The only thing I have going for me is humor. I try to throw a little humor into it whenever I complain.

The lawn service wanted $136 an hour to clean up the leaves in my backyard.

I told them what I could get for $136 an hour. Please use your imagination.

Otherwise, I would have to apologize to my team, the organization, and the community.

Here’s something I learned after the incident with the student.

Don’t ruin a good apology with a bad excuse.

If you are late, apologize for being late, and leave it at that.

“The dog ate my car keys” implicates the dog, and then you have to apologize to the dog.

Please support continued recreational opportunities, fiscal responsibility, and improved property values by voting yes on South Suburban’s 4B and 4C. Our quality of life is important!

There is no increase in taxes. These ballot issues simply extend the funding that SSPRD receives now.

Martha Sippel Lone Tree resident (South Suburban Park Foundation board trustee) Column was spot-on Thank you, Craig Marshall Smith, for your recent column. It drives me crazy to see people with their pets off leash just walking around like they own the neighborhood. My favorite line that they almost all say is, “Oh, he/she is friendly,” as their dog races over to greet my dog. Well, I’m so glad your dog is friendly, but mine isn’t, so I hope you don’t mind when my dog bites your dog for being so friendly.

Stop acting like you own the neighborhood and treat your fellow neighbors and dog owners with some respect!

Kelly Lloyd Castle Rock

now in the present, we can offer love to others. We can help others, love on others, bless others, hug others, listen to others and show our love and appreciation today and every day. Whatever we used to do, we should start doing again. Not just for the people we love in our lives, but also for the people we are “in love” with in our lives. Today we can look at the people whom we love and who love us, and we can look at that person whom we are “in love” with through the same eyes that we did and with the same heart we had yesterday. Today is a day that can and should be filled with love. Today and every day.

The better news is that tomorrow brings with it even more opportunities to love on our family and friends in new and creative ways. All of our tomorrows in life provide us with opportunities to grow deeper “in love” regardless of the brevity or length of our relationships. It is so wonderful to see new love and the energy and bright eyes of hope and wonder as couples look to the future. And it is maybe even

more incredible to watch love, true love, in people who have been together for decades. The spark is still there, the eyes express deep love, hands are held, affection is shown, car doors are opened, flowers are given, and love abounds as they remember the love of yesterday, the power of love in the present, and the hope of love in all of the tomorrows that are yet to come.

So how about you? When you think about all of the love in your life — past, present and future — and when you think about the feeling of being “in love,” does it give you a swoop in your heart and butterflies in your stomach? I hope so, and I would love to hear all about your love stories at gotonorton@gmail.com. Remember this, and please apply all of those things that love inspired yesterday, today and tomorrow. Because when we do, it really will be a better than good week.

Tips for helping provide impromptu child care

P

reschool children are coming in half an hour for child care.

No problem. You’re always well stocked. There are many educational toys found in your kitchen. Open LIFELONG up your low kitchen LEARNING cupboards and drawEsther Macalady ers. They are full of mostly safe playthings for children and hide anything that is not safe.

The first go-to toys are cans.

Children may make low towers on the floor or higher ones if they have heavy shoes. Cans may be arranged to make houses and castles, or they may add folded heavy paper to make bridges.

If they have brought figures, cars, or a few stuffed animals they can play raceway, house, or action figure

adventures.

The activity will give you time to wash the can cabinet you have been putting off and get down on the floor to play, too.

Random Containers Your other drawers may hold plastic containers and lids. They make excellent puzzlers. Are there tops and bottoms that fit? If you have some that do not make a pair, they can be used for sandbox, beach play, or recycling later. They can turn the containers upside down and make a few drums using a wooden spoon to pound for a few minutes.

Empty the Cupboards Children can gather all of the containers and help set chairs and

guard chairs next to the sink. Fill the sink or dish pan half way and add a few drops of soap and a cloth.

It’s time for washing, rinsing, and drying dishes for about 15 minutes.

While supervising the washing you can empty another drawer of wooden spoons, spatulas, other utensils. and gadgets.

Double check for sharp edges on items like potato peelers and set those aside. You can explain the purpose for some of the odd looking gadgets as you add them to the washing water.

While adding the items ask yourself, “Do I really need this?” If not, out it goes into the donation bag. By now you should have cleaned, put away and culled at least four drawers, double dried these dishes, and have wet children.

You can scoop up the little wet people, throw their clothes in the dryer, and head for the bathroom.

There should just enough time for a warm bath with a few of the containers you are not going to use.

Children have fun filling different sizes of containers. It’s similar to filling cups to equal a gallon. Which containers will float? How many action figures will it take to sink a container boat? Teach children to check for hand and toe wrinkles.

Then they will help decide it’s time to get out of the tub. put on warm dry clothes, and have a snack.

Tattered Cover event celebrates young adult authors, readers

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Young adult fiction is one of the most diverse and vibrant areas of fiction, with stories, characters and perspectives that run the gamut from the fantastic and dystopian to the painfully realistic and political.

And as an author of young adult fiction, Len Vlahos, co-owner and CEO of the Tattered Cover Book Store, understands its power to connect with teens.

That’s why he wanted to create an event where some of the best young adult authors could meet the readers they inspired.

“One of the most gratifying things you can do as an author is meet a reader who was impacted by your work,” he said. “That’s what makes it all worth it.”

Denver Arts Week gathers cultural highlights from metro area

Scott Reintgen Veronica Rossi Emily Suvada Denise Vega Kiersten White

Brenna Yovanoff Jeff Zentner

n any day of the week, you can find a unique cultural event happening in Denver and its surrounding cities.

But for one week a year, cultural organizations all over put their best foot forward during Denver Arts Week.

“The whole concept is to highlight the amazing arts and culture scene in the metro area,” said Ashley Taufen, communications manager with Visit COMING the tourism ATTRACTIONS Denver, organization for Denver. “Not only is the week an opportunity to spotlight the various arts districts, but it’s a chance to spotlight smaller galleries.”

The 11th annual Denver Arts Week begins on Nov. 3 and Clarke Reader runs through Nov. 11. It features everything from free and low-cost events, to special exhibits and tours. The week kicks off with first Friday arts walks on Nov. 3 at art districts that include Belmar, the Golden Triangle, Tennyson Street and 40 West Arts.

“One of our most unique events is on Saturday, Nov. 4, when Denver’s museums are open late and are free,” Taufen said.

Participating museums are open from 5 to 10 p.m. Facilities like the Black American West Museum, Denver Botanic Gardens, Golden History Center, and Denver Museum of Nature and Science are all offering nights at the museum. “We even have s a shuttle to take people to different spots that night, so visitors can see as e many museums as possible.”

Denver Arts Week is not the only a r way to create a sense of community a t in the arts community, but it also w highlights the fact that Denver is home to internationally recognized s o scenes, galleries and exhibitions. v “Residents don’t really get to act like tourists in their home town all that often,” Taufen explained. “A lot w L of people don’t expect the quality C they find here, and it’s not just one style of art. We have something for t everybody.” h For more information and event listings, visit www.denver.org/denver-w arts-week.

19th-century Paris saw brave women artists Impressionism bloomed in time and place dominated by men

IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Denver Art Museum is now open seven days a week. “Her Paris,” in the Anschutz Gallery through Jan. 14, is a ticketed exhibit.

See DenverArtMuseum.org.

“You had to go there!” said Suzanne Ramljak of the American Federation of Arts, which organized the show, “Her Paris: Women Artists in the Age of Impressionism,” now open through Jan. 14 at the Denver Art Museum.

Impressionism was centered in Paris and peaked in the 1870s and 1880s.

“Hardly any women were able to go.

This is the first survey of women working in France at the time,” Ramljak said at a press preview on Oct. 19.

Women artists had to have support from a father or husband — or inherited money. And even then, it was difficult to travel and paint alone — one couldn’t enter a cafe to paint for example, unless accompanied by a man. One had to dress carefully and demurely.

And admission to Ecole des Beaux Artes, the place to train, was closed to women, said exhibit curator, Laurence Madeline, who is chief curator for the French National Museums. “These artists had a passion to overcome obstacles,” she said. (Academie Julien did open to women and taught many of them.)

Madeline has worked nine or ten years on this show, she said — pulling many works from museum storage, “from storage to light,” as well as from gallery walls. “There is much to still achieve,” she added as she speculated on next steps, “Much to do in order that women can achieve what women are and able to do.”

“You’ve got a baby — spread its wings and fly,” said Angelica Daneo, the local exhibition curator and Denver Art Museum’s curator of paint-

70 docents and their number has increased to almost 200. “We just trained 50 new ones,” she said — needed as museum attendance grows steadily.

This exhibit should attract real crowds.

Madeline added a historic note: “Napoleon allowed more freedom for women just before this period — women could earn their own way.”

Included in the exhibit: American Mary Cassatt, French women Berthe Morisot and Rosa Bonheur, Dane Anna Archer and German Paula Modrersohn-Becker.

Many paintings included stories of the artists’ lives and friends: painting together, seated with an instructor in a sunny park, enjoying tea, interiors, modern landscapes, strolling, with children — and there are a number of portraits of woman artists by other woman artists (looking businesslike, versus in the pretty white dress).

They asserted their roles in the art world.

Women couldn’t attend the Ecole des Beaux Artes until quite late in the period when Paris was the art mecca and by then, it wasn’t nearly as good, nor so much in demand, Madeline said. Famous artists such as Monet left.

“We are just with very good artists,” Madeline concluded, again emphasizing the quality of painting. Allow time to look at details when you visit.

The exhibit will next move to the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky, and the Clark Art Museum in Williamstown, Massachusetts.

LITERATURE FROM PAGE 16

The group works to make the book store more teen-friendly, and arranges events like Harry Potter Parties.

“Classic literature is expected to be read on its own, with little regard to author intent since we can’t contact them and ask them why they wrote what they did, but hearing an author speak about their book is a unique opportunity that is absolutely invaluable.”

The keynote speakers at the event will be Maggie Stiefvater and David Leviathan, authors of “The Raven Cycle” and “Will Grayson,” respectively.

Another top author who will be on hand is Jessica Brody, was has been writing professionally since 2006.

“I love starting stories. Diving into new worlds with new characters who have a whole new set of problems to fix. That’s just the best,” she said.

“Writing is just the way I communicate. I can’t express myself as well in

They migrated to Paris to further their careers, overcoming genderbased limitations. “These were not women who painted as a pastime, not makers of ceramics and decorative arts, fans, etc.,” Daneo added. “They had a compelling story to say.” She quoted an early diarist: “To a woman who knows her own mind, men can be only a minor consideration.”

Longtime museum docent Jacqui Kitzelman, of Littleton, has been among those training to conduct tours of this exhibition. They have heard

spoken words.”

Often, the young adult genre doesn’t receive the respect other genres do, but Vlahos said its an important step in growing the next generation of readers and writers.

“By celebrating young adult authors and the people who read them, we ensure a future for Tattered Cover and places like it by demonstrating the value of the experiences they inspire,” Berry added.

The best part, for authors, organizers and attendees is the sense of community that cons like this help foster.

“When I write ‘the end’ of a book, I always remind myself that it’s not really finished. It’s only half finished.

The book isn’t complete until someone reads it and adds their own experiences and interpretations to the text,” Brody said. “It’s pretty cool when you get to meet the people who are in charge of the other half of that process. It’s sort of like meeting a lifelong pen pal for the first time. As excited as you are to meet some of your favorite authors, trust me, the authors are just as excited to meet you.”

about it from Angelica Daneo and from an expert interpretive specialist on the museum staff and were scheduled for a walk-through on Oct. 20. “Each of us figures out how to tour visitors from age 5 to 105, kindergarten to early Alzheimer’s …” she says.

It’s really rewarding for a woman who has spent her career in arts management. And “as long as I can walk out of here with a smile on my face, I’ll continue,” she says.

There have been mandatory reading assignments (tricky to find, since the docent’s library was moved) and access to the website, labels, pictures and wall text. When we spoke with Kitzelman some time ago, there were

Father-son duo share exhibit at Museum Outdoor Arts Artists interact with each other through their work

IF YOU GO “COUNTERPOINTS” shows at Museum Outdoor Arts’ indoor gallery on the second floor of Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway, through Dec. 15. In addition to this gallery exhibit, there are eight related monumental sculptures at Westlands Park, 5701 S. Quebec St., Greenwood Village — through Aug. 9, 2018 (check about artist-led tours in the spring at the park). Admission is free. The indoor gallery is open Tuesdays through Fridays.

Moaonline.org. 303-806-0444.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Art is making something that didn’t exist before,” artist Charles Parson says in a well-made video that plays continuously in the Sound Gallery at the Museum Outdoor Arts’ indoor gallery at Englewood Civic Center. The film’s an informative addition to a large collection of works, “Counterpoints,”

by Charles and Collin Parson, father and son, which will run through Dec. 15.

The artists, who both speak through geometric images, respond to each other’s work “in concept and format,” according to the MOA. “Each artist creates objects that remind viewers of the extraordinary possibilities intrinsic in common, often industrial materials, building on the structures of geometric forms underlying our world. An artistic bridge between the two generations, presenting an opportunity to harmonize and at times contrast today’s definitions of artistic expression.”

Both love industrial materials.

Charles, who started drawing at age 10, has a vision that is more traditional than that of his son.

Charles speaks on the film of “the pleasure of showing together … the responsiveness to each other’s aesthetic.” Son Colin comments “sculptors need friends …”

In addition to this gallery exhibit, they have eight related monumental sculptures at Westlands Park in Greenwood Village — through Aug. 9, 2018.

Small works by Colin Parson, top, and Charles Parson, bottom, illustrate the compatibility of each artist’s work. They are included in “Counterpoints” the fatherson exhibit at the Museum Outdoor Arts in Englewood.

COURTESY PHOTO Surfaces are mirrored acrylic and steel; polished steel; textured papers with drawings — often variations of a horizon; clear acrylic plastic in varied precise, sometimes textured, geometric forms. Many artworks are enhanced by colored LED lights, steady or pulsing — at times phasing into other colors. Works hang on gallery walls and rest on pedestals through the gallery. Aside from the changing lights, a restrained palette is limited to white, black, grays, blues, mirrored and clear plastics, which are at times etched.

Silence is an element of the exhibit as well — at least when only a few adult visitors are present — although one can imagine excited

responses from younger art lovers, who will surely have a positive reaction to this visually stimulating collection — while dancing in front of the mirrors! Imagination takes one to some science-fiction world — far, far away.

Except that Charles Parson’s subtle drawings resemble the mountain ranges we see from any elevated spot near home here. The acrylic covers give them distance.

In the back corner gallery, each artist fills a wall with a single horizontal panel. Charles’ is “Diffused Boundary” mixed media, 2017.

A drawing of a distant mountain range is mounted under a large sheet of clear acrylic, secured with

Collin’s large piece is named “ECHO, echo” 2017, and is made of mirrored acrylic and RGB LEDS. The pulsing lights shine through rows of graduated openings—in alternating cycles of reds, blues, greens, yellows.

In the White Box Gallery, the visitor finds a few nicely lighted images of large pieces by each artist. Shadows are cast on the carpet, adding visual interest.

“Sculpture is a drawing in space,” Charles Parson remarks in the Sound Gallery video. “I’ve found my process — that’s who I am …

Collin and I have daily discussions.

We both like graduating shapes …”

The film shows both men in their studios. Charles has a big space for working with steel beams and other bulky items, while Collin sketches on his computer, “reaching out to fabricators” to execute his designs, because 20 inches by 30 inches is as large as Collin can create at home.

The film shows him peeling plastic film off a big mirrored piece. “At 10 years old, I fell in love with light,” he said.

Trump’s short-term emergency declaration highlights opioid crisis 90-day order brings no new money to battle against addiction

BY JILL COLVIN AND CARLA K. JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

In ringing terms, President Donald Trump on Oct. 26 declared the opioid crisis a nationwide public health emergency — a step that won’t bring new dollars to fight a scourge that kills nearly 100 Americans a day but will expand access to medical services in rural areas, among other changes.

“This epidemic is a national health emergency,” Trump said in a speech at the White House, where he bemoaned a crisis he said had spared no segment of American society.

“As Americans we cannot allow this to continue,” he said.

Administration officials have made clear that the declaration, which lasts for 90 days and can be renewed, comes with no dedicated dollars. But they said it will allow them to use existing money to better fight the crisis. Officials also said they would urge Congress, during end-of-the year budget negotiations, to add new cash to a public health emergency fund that Con-

gress hasn’t replenished for years.

The Public Health Emergency Fund currently contains just $57,000, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, a negligible amount. Officials would not disclose how much they were seeking.

But critics said that wasn’t enough.

“How can you say it’s an emergency if we’re not going to put a new nickel in it?” said Dr. Joseph Parks, medical director of the nonprofit National Council for Behavioral Health, which advocates for addiction treatment providers. “As far as moving the money around,” he added, “that’s like robbing Peter to pay Paul.”

U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, said Trump’s declaration fell “far short.”

“Our state and local officials on the front lines of this fight have been very clear: They need more funding,” she said.

Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi also was critical, calling the new declaration “words without the money.”

Trump’s audience on Oct. 26 included parents who have lost children to drug overdoses, people who have struggled with addiction, and first responders whose have used overdose reversal drugs to save lives.

Trump also spoke personally about

his own family’s experience with addiction: His older brother, Fred Jr., died after struggling with alcoholism. It’s the reason the president does not drink.

Trump described his brother as a “great guy, best looking guy,” with a personality “much better than mine” “But he had a problem, he had a problem with alcohol,” the president said. “I learned because of Fred.”

Trump said he hoped a massive advertising campaign, which sounded reminiscent of the 1980s “Just Say No” campaign, might have a similar impact.

“If we can teach young people, and people generally, not to start, it’s really, really easy not to take ‘em,” he said.

Leading up to the announcement, Trump had said he wanted to give his administration the “power to do things that you can’t do right now.”

As a candidate, he had pledged to make fighting addiction a priority, and pressed the issue in some of the states hardest hit.

“When I won the New Hampshire primary, I promised the people of New Hampshire that I would stop drugs from pouring into your communities. I am now doubling down on that promise, and can guarantee you we will not only stop the drugs from pouring in, but we will help all of those people so seriously addicted get the assistance they need to unchain themselves,” Trump told a crowd in Maine weeks before last November’s election.

Once in office, Trump assembled a commission, led by Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, to study the problem. The commission’s interim report argued an emergency declaration would free additional money and resources, but some in Trump’s administration disagreed.

Christie, in a statement, said Trump was taking “bold action” that shows “an unprecedented commitment to fighting this epidemic and placing the weight of the presidency behind saving lives across the country.”

Officials said the administration had considered a bolder emergency declaration, under the Stafford Act, which is typically used for natural disasters like hurricanes. But they decided that measure was better suited to more short-term, locationspecific crises than the opioid problem. Drug overdoses of all kinds kill an estimated 142 Americans every day.

As a result of the public health emergency declaration, officials will be able to expand access to telemedicine services, include substance abuse treatment for people living in rural and remote areas.

Officials will also be able to more easily deploy state and federal workers, secure Department of Labor grants for the unemployed, and shift funding for HIV and AIDs programs to provide more substance abuse treatment for people already eligible for those programs.

Trump also directed other departments and agencies to exercise their own available emergency authorities to address the crisis.

But Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said the effort falls far short of what is needed and will divert staff and resources from other vital public health initiatives.

“Families in Connecticut suffering from the opioid epidemic deserve better than half measures and empty rhetoric offered seemingly as an afterthought,” he said in a statement. He argued, “An emergency of this magnitude must be met with sustained, robust funding and comprehensive treatment programs.”

Democrats also criticize Trump’s efforts to repeal and replace the “Obamacare” health law. Its Medicaid expansion has been crucial in confronting the opioid epidemic.

Adopted by 31 states, the Medicaid expansion provides coverage to low-income adults previously not eligible. Many are in their 20s and 30s, a demographic hit hard by the epidemic. Medicaid pays for detox and long-term treatment.

National effort is a novel approach to writing November is National Novel Writing Month, bringing sense of community and discipline

BY KIM HIGHTOWER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A frustrated writer with a book in mind, Sherry Duff kept getting into lulls on her progress.

“I was inspired at first. Then you get this lull because real life happened,” Duff said. “In the lull, I let everything else get in the way of my writing.”

Then, in November 2015, she heard about NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, and decided to participate.

Today, the Parker resident is a published author, the writer of “Rule #9,” a story about blended families. She’s also the vice president of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers group.

Writing needs to be given an important place in your daily life, she said.

“You have to decide how important to make it,” Duff said. “If I really want to be a writer, I have to make it important. It takes 30 days to make a habit and you’ve got 30 days of creating a habit of ‘I’m going to write every day.’ I’ve got the whole month of November to help me form a good habit.”

NaNoWriMo, as it’s been nicknamed, is a worldwide approach to creative writing. As the official nanowrimo.org website states, participants work toward the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel during the month of November.

According to the website, NaNoWriMo provides the structure, community and encouragement to help people find their voices, achieve creative goals and build new worlds — on and

WRITERS

Author Sherry Duff said that National Novel Writing Month is a great opportunity to jumpstart writing efforts.

FROM PAGE 23

Per the website, the goal is to write a novel and track your progress, getting pep talks and support and meeting fellow writers online and in person.

Worldwide word counts are tracked on the nanowrimo.org website.

Last year, 384,126 participants, including 71,229 students and educators, participated. Of these, more than 34,000 met the goal of writing 50,000 words. This year, NaNoWriMo expects over 400,000 participants.

As a nationwide event, many local groups are participating by creating their own events to inspire local writers of all ages.

Anythink Libraries has planned a variety of NaNoWriMo events at their Brighton location.

Jonah Vallez, teen librarian for Brighton’s Anythink, said library staff saw the need among their patrons.

“We could hear people saying they were working on books and screenplays,” Vallez said. “We recognized we have writers in the community who need our services. It’s more of a community thing than just a simple writing program. It really got us excited for what an opportunity this could be.”

The library has devoted eight sessions in November to novel writing tips.

“We’ve adapted two of our nights (each week) to NaNoWriMo-dedicated

nights,” Vallez said. “We’re very excited. I’m the more excitable one because I tend to think this will be fantastic. We are encouraging our staff to participate and write, as well.”

The support makes the act of writing less daunting, Vallez said.

“It’s important because I feel like there are opportunities for the writers in Brighton to have a platform in the community,” Vallez said.

“One thing that’s a huge component is it’s a demystification of writing a book. There’s a process to it and anyone can do it. Giving everyone that opportunity feels really good and it’s important it all of us.”

The library looked for the best tips for stuck writers and built their seminars around them.

“We brainstormed the essentials to get a book done and then created a list of what would be fun to take you to the next steps on your book or story idea,” Vallez said.

Duff said the daily effort to keep up was her best motivator.

“For me, it’s that word count goal,” Duff said. “It’s that goal that is a deadline. If I have a deadline, I move. The hard part about writing is that if it’s not about work, it’s not important.”

No matter what, just writing is

Littleton welcomes new postmaster Lora McLucas brings military, law-enforcement background to her role with Postal Service

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s new postmaster is ready to deliver.

Lora McLucas was officially sworn in on Oct. 24, though she’s been on the job in Littleton since Oct. 14. McLucas, who rose through the ranks from a part-time mail carrier in southern Colorado to a high-level manager, said she’s well aware of the challenges the U.S. Postal Service faces in the 21st century.

“We have to change,” McLucas said. “We need to get in line with the changes other carriers are making, like giving people instant updates on their deliveries.”

McLucas’ turf covers Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Ken Caryl, Columbine Valley and Centennial. She’s aware some customers in her coverage area have expressed frustration with the level of service.

“I’m planning to focus on the fundamentals: on-time mail delivery,

New postmaster Lora McLucas said she intends to improve the Littleton area’s Postal Service performance going forward. Several Littleton City Council members joined McLucas at her swearing-in ceremony.

McLucas said her employees would describe her as “a little intense, but fair.

All I want is for people to do their jobs.”

She comes by her no-nonsense approach honestly. McLucas was previously an Army combat medic, who worked in the burn unit at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio during Desert Storm, and later spent years as a police officer in

Trinidad in southern Colorado.

After joining the Postal Service as a mail carrier, McLucas quickly rose through the ranks, and has previously worked as postmaster in Commerce City, Wheat Ridge and Arvada. Most recently she was manager of operation programs for the Denver district manager before being appointed to replace the outgoing postmaster in Littleton.

McLucas said she wants people to know that the Postal Service is a self-sustaining organization and doesn’t rely on tax dollars.

“We’re self-sufficient,” Mc Lucas said. “We’re a business and we need to operate like one.”

McLucas’ husband also works for the Postal Service, and her two children are also in public service: her daughter is a 911 dispatcher in Boulder, and her son leaves for Marine Corps basic training in June.

Littleton officials welcomed McLucas at her swearing in ceremony.

“Lora seems very nice and interested in becoming involved in the community,” said District 3 City Councilmember Phil Cernanec, who attended the ceremony. “It’s great to see someone who’s not just a native Coloradan and a veteran, but someone who’s interested in Littleton. We’re thrilled to have her.”

SPORTS PUSHING THE PACE

Football a kick for high schooler bound for Baylor

s c f t s g P ssac Power gave up kicking a soccer S ball when he was a freshman at Ponderosa. Instead, he started booting a s “ football.

Power is now one of the best punters, g kickoff specialists and placekickers in r the state as a senior and will be a punt- l er in the Jan. 6 U.S. Army All American r high school game in l i San Antonio.

OVERTIME “I did soccer for 10 years or so and my Dad said enough, play football,” recalled Power who admits he likes putting best. “I guess I just liked it. I can’t kick a soccer ball now to save my life but I can kick a football Jim Benton better. My foot just naturally likes it more.

“It wasn’t soccer that got me my strength because we used to go hiking all the time. That’s where my strength came from. And I’m very flexible. But soccer is always a good background to have for kicking.”

Power missed his sophomore season because of an ACL knee injury to his kicking leg but worked hard and is rated as the fourth best punter in the class of 2018, according to kicking expert Chris Sailer.

“Issac in my opinion has been the best kickoff specialist in the state for two years and probably the best field goals kicker and punter in the state,” said Ponderosa coach Jaron Cohen.

“He can handle all three — kickoffs, field goals and punting. He is 6-foot-2, 180. He’s not a small kid. He has a big leg and big frame. Clearly he’s a pretty special talent.”

In statistics through eight games, Power is averaging 40.2 on 19 punts, with 10 landing inside the 20-yard line. He had made eight of 11 field goals, including a 58-yarder, and is averaging 60 yards on 54 kickoffs with 51 touchdowns.

Power, who admits he has worked more on placekicking than punting, describes himself as a kicker and punter and didn’t have much trouble adjusting to the pressure of onrushing football defenders.

“I just see the ball,” he said. “That’s all I’m looking at and just tune everything out.”

Power was surprised by the attention shown him by big-time colleges.

Schools like Alabama, LSU and Colorado were interested but he has committed to kick for Baylor.

He recalls how his dad was concerned about paying for his college education.

“I’d say don’t worry, I’m going to college for free,” said Power. “And lo and behold, it actually happened. There’s no way I thought I’d ever be this good.”

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s Addi Iken finished seventh at the 2016 state Class 4A cross country meet and on Oct. 28 she fulfilled her desire to return to state this year and improve her finish as she came in third in the field of 153 4A girls entered in the meet at the Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs.

“It was a good day for this race,” she said after crossing the finish line.

“I just went out fast to stick with the girls in front of the pack. It was a good race for me personally. Usually my legs feel tight toward the end of the race, but today I felt relaxed and my legs didn’t tighten up for the first race in a long time.”

Iken completed the five-kilometer

“The coach had just Christian and I training for most of the week,” Iken said. “He opened practice up Oct. 27 and most of our teammates came out and ran with us. A lot of our teammates came to state with us to cheer us on.”

Littleton junior Addi Iken smiles and holds the medal she received for finishing third in the Class 4A girls race at the Oct. 28 State Cross Country Meet held at the Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs.

BENTON FROM PAGE 30

It’s a small world No, I haven’t been to Disneyland or Disney World recently, but it is sometimes a small world.

I met Gabe Trujillo, who is the director of athletics/activities and human resources for the Westminster Public Schools district.

Turns out that Trujillo was a three-sport athlete at Lincoln High School, where I attended years before Trujillo.

He knew a few of the same teachers and coaches that I knew.

Trujillo, who played basketball at Western State and Metro and has been employed as a coach and high school administrator for years, now has a big job.

He is the AD for a district with one high school and he wants to get Westminster High School competitive again.

His game plan is improved scheduling, which could be helped at least in football with the new league alignments for the next two-year cycle.

And he wants to enhance program development in all sports with off season training and promotion.

Unbalanced schedule If anyone needs reinforcement about the need to change the current Class 5A football league alignments for the next two-year cycle, a glance at the first-place teams or schools that were tied in the current seven leagues makes the point.

In the first three league games, league-leading teams averaged 40.3 points while holding other teams to 11.6 points a game.

Skating event Great Skate Day is set for Nov. 11 at South Suburban Ice Arena and Family Sports Ice Arena. There will be instructors on hand to discuss programs for beginners to experts and there will also be representatives from hockey associations and figure skating clubs, plus synchronized skating and Theater on Ice teams.

Activities at South Suburban, 6580 S. Vine St. in Centennial, will be from noon to 2 p.m. and from 1-3 p.m. at Family Sports, 6901 S. Peoria St. in Centennial. For information contact Gerry Lane at gerryl@ ssprd.org.

Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com or at 303-566-4083.

Local dignitaries were on deck for the dedication of Little’s Creek Park’s new pirate-themed playground.

Little’s Creek playground opens STAFF REPORT

Mini buccaneers have a new place to swashbuckle after the grand opening of the new pirate-themed playground at Little’s Creek Park, at the corner of Broadway and Sterne Parkway.

The playground features play areas geared toward kids from toddlers to 12, as well as a new swingset. The play areas feature rubber surfacing and are surrounded by new

benches and landscaping.

South Suburban Parks and Recreation District and the City of Littleton funded the $325,000 project.

Several Littleton dignitaries turned out for the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 23, with Littleton City Council members Bill Hopping, Phil Cernanec and Peggy Cole joining South Suburban’s Executive Director Rob Hanna and Board Chair John Ostermiller — all decked out in pirate garb.
