Schools to hand out iPads this fall Fourth- through eighth-graders will receive digital notebooks

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Technology comes to Englewood classrooms in a big way in September as each fourth- through eighth-grader will be issued an iPad they can use in school or at home.

“We have been discussing this program for about three years and last year, we ran a pilot program as we issued an iPad to every Englewood Leadership Academy student,” said Brian Ewert, school superintendent.

“The pilot program was a great success.

Some teachers were skeptical in the beginning but found the system worked well for them and for the students. We issued 72 iPads and got every one of them back undamaged.”

To implement the program, the school district is purchasing about 2,000 iPads at

a cost of about $1.1 million. The project was assisted by a $100,000 donation from the Morgridge Family Foundation, plus the foundation will pay the cost of renewing the license for the next three years for myON reader, a literacy program that will be installed on each student’s computer.

“This program will help create literacy experience access for our students,” said Mike Porter, school technology director.

“The devices allow each student access to about 3,000 different high-quality children’s publications.”

Porter said the program will extend the availability of technology beyond the walls of the school.

“When school is done for the day, the computers sit there unused until the next school day,” he said. “This way, through the Internet, the student can do research, read and write compositions on the iPad at home. This program has been used in other districts and indicates, on the average, students are on the computer at home about iPads continues on Page 7

Fallen heroes remembered at Fort Logan Visitors mark holiday with public, private ceremonies

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Memorial Day event at Fort Logan National Cemetery followed a traditional agenda, but many at the cemetery that day observed their private ceremony honoring those military members who gave their lives in service to our country.

usually do get over by there for the 21-gun salute and playing of `Taps’ because they have meaning for me,” Sean Savage said on May 27. “I rode my motorcycle up from Raton, N.M., to pay tribute to two guys from my unit in Desert Storm. That is important, so I don’t care about the speeches and ceremonies, but I feel they are firing the salute and playing `Taps’ again for my friends.”

Not far away, Sharon Mecham and her son Adam Chartier placed flowers near a headstone.

“This is the grave of Adam’s grandfather who is a World War II veteran,” Sharon said.

“We come out to Fort Logan when we can but we always come on Memorial Day because we want to remember all those people who fought and died for our country.”

Adam agreed.

“This is a very special day for us,” he said. “We want to pay tribute to my grandfather and, at the same time, pay tribute to all those people who lost their lives fighting for our country.”

The traditional Memorial Day ceremonies drew a crowd of about 2,500 that included retired Air Force Master Sgt. Christian Poeppel and his dad Al, a Korean War veteran.

“I think each of us has attended a Memorial Day ceremony but this is the first time we have come together,” Christian said.

Instead of talking about combating child hunger, Allan and Hannah Levy took action three years ago by launching the Lunchbox Express program in Englewood and using a small school bus to make stops and hand out free meals to all comers 18 and younger.

Last year’s program followed basically the same format, but this year the buses will be serving different areas in Denver and Aurora. Hannah Levy said Lunchbox Express will still continue to provide meals for Englewood children but, instead of a bus going from place to place, the lunches will be handed out at Clayton Elementary School.

From May 28 until Aug. 2, each day from 11 a.m. until noon Monday through Friday, free lunches will be handed out in the parking lot of the school at 4600 S. Fox St. In addition, Lunchbox Express teamed up with the Clayton summer KidQuest program to offer a free breakfast to school-age children.

Breakfast will be served from 8 to 9 a.m. in the Clayton cafeteria.

There will also be a similar program at Bishop Elementary School for two weeks starting June 3, plus the breakfast and lunch program will be available for the four-week summer class session that starts at Clayton in late July.

“Our goal has always been to get meals to the children of needy families,” Hannah Levy said. “We were shown that there are areas in Denver and Aurora where there are more needy families who needed to be served. Also, we got some help, so this year, we’ll have three buses that will be serving areas in West Denver and along East Colfax in Denver and in Aurora. Our first year, we served about 5,000 meals at four sites and the second year, we served about 20,000 meals. Estimates are our new system will probably serve about 45,000 meals this summer.”

She said she was a little surprised by the fact that there are so many children of needy families. With the information, the decision was made to expand the Lunchbox Express service to areas where 95 percent of schoolchildren get a free lunch or pay a much-reduced cost for lunch.

Graduation isn’t just matter of degrees A week ago, Ana Elfring, 18, graduated from high school. The event wasn’t particularly emotional — she was ready to move on, the diploma the required bridge to a university education and her future.

Two weeks ago, T.J. Sweetin’s grandfather solemnly handed him a folded American flag that had flown over the state Capitol; his parents proudly pinned the rank of second lieutenant onto his dress blue uniform. A college degree in hand and four years of ROTC behind him, the 21-year-old was, officially, finally, a Marine.

Around the same time, Ellen Theis exuberantly accepted her English degree, six years after beginning it — and more than 30 years after her first literature class — on the day before her 52nd birthday.

“I would call it a milestone,” Theis said, “and a dream come true.”

The school year’s end marks one of life’s milestones, the ritual of graduation, an acknowledgment of accomplishment, a rite of passage from one point in life to another, wrapped in assorted ribbons of meaning.

Educational achievements aren’t the only milestones that become defining pieces of our stories. There are first drivers’ licenses, first jobs, 25th wedding anniversaries and 50th birthdays. They seem to impart needed stamps of approval on life’s timeline.

Interestingly, studies show countries with well-established cultural rites of passage — “very distinct before and afters” — tend to have lower crime rates in young adulthood, said Kim Gorgens, an assistant professor of psychology at University of Denver.

Just as compelling, added Gorgens, is the mind’s ability to hold onto noteworthy memories about ourselves.

“We have this natural tendency to be storytellers,” she said. “The autobiographical episodic memory is particularly

resistant to decay. … As we are losing our capacity to define ourselves, the last thing to go is our recall for significant events. It has a natural buoyancy.”

Perhaps that’s because they can be among our happiest times.

For Ana Elfring, these moments are more a series of steppingstones than milestones.

Her 4-foot-11 slight frame belies a fierce strength. Determined to gather the resources needed to get herself to University of Colorado at Boulder, she navigated the financial aid maze on her own, securing several scholarships and a work-study grant.

“It makes me feel really accomplished,” Elfring says of her successful effort to pay for college. “It’s like a weight off my shoulders.”

She is most excited about the independence to choose what her day will look like, from what she eats to when she studies to what she does for fun. She plans to study biology and considers that graduation from college will, perhaps, mean more than her high school steppingstone.

“I like to live more in the present than looking forward to something,” Elfring says. “But just because I’m not as goaloriented doesn’t mean that I don’t strive to succeed. It’s just that I don’t look at things as ‘Well, at this point I should have achieved this much.’ I just kind of do my

best as I’m going and see where it takes me.

And, so far, I’ve been taken to pretty decent places. I’m going to the school I want to go to. I have friends and I have a job. So I’m pretty happy.”

Thomas Joseph Sweetin is a tall, adventurous young man called T.J. after his namesake, his great-grandfather. His father’s job with the Drug Enforcement Administration moved the family around the country and instilled a love for change and excitement of the unknown. He likes to look forward and mark the big moments.

Earning an international affairs degree from CU was definitely more meaningful than receiving a high school diploma for Sweetin. “College was different because I put so much work into it,” he says of days that involved not only academic studies but also hours of training and community service for the 100 students in ROTC. But the greater milestone, he says, is being commissioned into the Marines.

“So many of my friends were upperclassmen, and we saw them graduate and get deployed, and you’re counting down the days to that,” Sweetin says. “When you’re a freshman, it feels so far off. You’re kind of waiting … for that day. The entire culmination of that whole college career is summed up in the one commissioning day.”

In October, Sweetin heads to Quantico, Va., for six months of basic officer training. The next benchmark, he says, will be deployment.

“It feels really good,” he says. “Life — it’s exciting. I’ve been ready for a while to get on with it.”

On a recent Sunday morning, at the athletic field of Metropolitan State University of Denver, Ellen Theis hurled her dark blue cap into the air in exultation. A wife and mother who describes herself as a “why not?” person, she had always felt “less than” without a college degree.

The achievement filled her to brimming.

“When it really hit was when I picked up my cap and gown,” she says. “It was very surreal. It was joyous. … I was struck wordless by the profound feeling of satisfaction and deep pride in myself.”

The journey had been long and circuitous.

After high school, without encouragement or financial resources for higher education, Theis worked odd jobs and became a hairdresser. Children and family then became priorities. But hovering in the back of her mind, always, was a yearning for school: “I wanted to learn about James Joyce and Shakespeare, and I wanted always to know more.”

Over the years, through four colleges and three states, she took a course here and there. At 46, when she saw friends pursuing degrees, she decided she could do it, too. She started with one course a semester and kept adding until she was juggling four at once. And on graduation day, she proudly hung a blue-and-gold cum laude cord around her neck.

She briefly considered not attending commencement. Then she realized if she walked away, the moment might be lost.

“It’s much sweeter,” Theis said, “when it’s not handed easily to you.”

She needed to mark this passage well.

So her dad and stepmother flew in from California. Her husband and daughters, 15 and 13, bore witness, too.

After, she felt complete. “My ideal self,” Theis said, “has a degree.”

And so ends this season of milestones.

Flood building’s days are numbered Inside work nearing completion, outside demolition will be underway soon

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcolorado news.com The outside of the Flood Middle School building remains largely unchanged, but crews are hard at work completing inside work and asbestos removal so crews can begin demolishing the structure.

Once the site is cleared, work will begin on construction of a 310-apartment complex. The main building will be on the site of the Flood building and a second building will be constructed across the street to the east.

The school district hired Majors Environmental Service to prepare the site for construction.

“Right now, Rocky Mountain Environmental crews are completing the asbestos removal and other inside work,” said Billy Major of Major Environmental Services. “We expect Alpine Demolition will move equipment into place to start taking the building down about the first week of June.”

Major said the building had been empty for several years, so in March, the first job was to clean away the debris so crews could begin work. Inside demolition began in late April.

He said the project has been a challenge because the original Flood school was built in the 1920s, but there have been additions

Sheets of heavy plastic isolate the area where crews are removing a wall coating containing asbestos in one of the Flood Middle School gymnasiums. The work is part of preparation needed so the building can be demolished. and construction on the building up through the 1990s. The result is, crews often take down a wall only to find a second wall that isn’t on the blueprints.

But work has moved forward. Few if any walls remain untouched as crews stripped out all materials that can be recycled, like copper pipes and wiring and metal studs.

At the same time, Rocky Mountain Environmental has been removing asbestos from the uilding.

Asbestos removal must, by law, be done in areas completely contained. To comply with the laws, huge walls of thick plastic were set in place and sealed off from the outside. Crews working inside the sealed area must wear protective suits and respirators.

One big task was removing a coating used on the block walls that contained asbestos.

Adan Aurtlie, a Rocky Mountain supervisor, said the company employed a special water-basting system that stripped away the coating with water a spray

of water rated at 40,000 pounds per square inch.

All the asbestos-contaminated material is collected, bagged and taken to a hazardous material disposal area.

Major said work inside the building will continue as Alpine begins building demolition.

“We expect they will begin demolishing the portion of the building constructed in the 1960s, which includes the music room and the east wing,” he said “However, Alpine are the demolition experts and they will determine the work area and set the schedule to take down the building and prepare the ground for construction.”

There are no records of time capsules but it is possible one or more are located in the building.

“We have asked the demolition crews to be on the lookout for time capsules as they do their work because we feel, if there are time capsules, they are important pages in local history and need to be preserved,” Major said.

Craig holds ceremonial groundbreaking Event celebrates large donation for construction

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcolorado news.com A major boost to Craig Hospital’s project to raise funds for the $90 million renovation and expansion project was unveiled at May 23 groundbreaking ceremonies with the announcement that Craig alumni Dave and Gail Liniger, founders of RE/MAX International, had made a $10 million donation to the project.

“Craig is absolutely wonderful and it has a special place in our hearts,” Gail Liniger said. “The people here taught Dave and me to walk again when others told us we would never walk again.

The Craig staff worked with me in 1984 and with Dave in 2012. When I was here, they taught me how to function without one of my hands and to get along despite my vision being impaired.

We made this donation because we wanted to do what we could so Craig could help many other people the way they helped Dave and I.” The announcement was made as part of the May 23 official groundbreaking cer-

and Craig supporters attended the event.

Blue and white balloons lined the area and there were speeches by hospital and community officials before special guests lined up and turned dirt with bright, shiny shovels.

Mike Fordyce, Craig president, told the crowd about the construction project. The project will add 85,000 square feet to the hospital, plus will do major renovations to 135,000 square feet of existing space.

He explained the expansion will only add three beds to the hospital but will make it possible for every patient to have a private room.

“The total cost of the project is $90 million,” he said. “We are using reserves and bond sales to provide $40 million and we have a project underway to raise the remaining $50 million. I am happy to say 88 percent of Craig staff has contributed to the fundraiser.”

Mary Sissel of the Craig Hospital Foundation told the audience $32 million of the remaining $50 million has been raised. That total includes the Liniger donation, plus the Anschutz Foundation has made a $5 million grant to the project, with $2 million of that amount as a challenge grant. The effort now is to raise the remaining $18 million.

Then it was time for the ceremonial groundbreaking. Each guest had a hard hat and a shovel and turned a little of the dirt in a box at the front of the stage.

Craig patient Angie

“I have only been here about 2½ months and I think it is cool they asked me to be a part of this ceremony,” she said. “The people at Craig are taking very good care of me. I notice more than most, I guess, because I am a therapist too. Now I am seeing therapy from the other side and what I see here at Craig is great.”

Northeast Littleton neighbors urged to unite City says there is route to better days ahead

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews. com City officials are urging residents of Littleton’s northeast neighborhood to band together to ward off crime and other problems there.

“You guys are the eyes and the ears of the neighborhood,” said Mark Barons, the city’s neighborhood resources coordinator. “I would encourage you to talk about organizing.”

About a dozen neighbors attended a meeting May 23 at Littleton Center to discuss the situation, which came to a head last October in the form of a fatal shootout that teens in the neighborhood said was the result of warring gangs.

“I can’t wait to get out of this neighborhood, sadly,” said one young mom who witnessed the alleged perpetrators running across her lawn. She said random acts of violence are one thing, but it’s a much bigger problem when violence becomes a part of a neighborhood’s culture.

Littleton Police Officer Bryan Lynch said the area has calmed down quite a bit since the shooting. Many of the troublemakers have moved, she said, and three of them are in jail since the incident, which left 18-yearold Da Von Flores dead in the street.

Lynch noted that National Night Out will be back this year after falling victim to budget cuts last year. She urged the neighbors to participate by hold-

nder

This was the scene the day after an October shooting in a northeast Littleton neighborhood. File photo ing a block party.

“It’s making a show of neighborhood solidarity, and showing criminals you’re not cowering in your houses,” she said.

Police Cmdr. Sean Dugan urged people to call police whenever they see something even a little suspicious. Sometimes people are afraid police will identify them to the suspect, or they just don’t want to “bother” the officers. Neither is true, he said.

“We have important things to do, but probably not more important things to do,” said Dugan. “Call us.

We’ll send four or five officers there. We’ll saturate that area, and if enough of that happens, they’ll go elsewhere.”

Dugan said the new chief, Douglas Stephens, has already talked about reinstituting community teams. Until last summer, LPD maintained a specialenforcement team focused

on gangs, drugs, graffiti, sex offenders and similar crimes. The team was disbanded due to vacancies in the department, and the officers were reassigned to patrol.

Several neighbors commented that they’ve noticed distinct improvements in things like crosswalks, sidewalks and general cleanliness. Denise Stephens, director of economic development, said the city has focused its communitydevelopment block grants from the county on the neighborhood for capital improvements, and Rebecca Thompson, senior code specialist, said they’ve stepped up code enforcement in the area.

“We look for things that as you drive around the neighborhood make you think, `I wouldn’t want to live there,’” she said.

Kimberly Kingston with South Metro Housing Options noted the agency can

help with a wide variety of grants and loans for homeowners and renters alike, intended to help maintain properties.

“I think the city government does a really great job of supporting the community; it’s just a matter of getting the word out,” said Lynch.

Gov. John Hickenlooper on May 24 signed into law a state-contracting reform bill that aims to reduce the outsourcing of public works projects and penalizes employers who do not hire local workers or who buy foreign-produced materials.

But it’s a bill that earned little legislative support from Republicans, who panned the legislation as another example of Democrats protecting unions over businesses.

House Bill 1292, which Democrats dubbed the “Keep Jobs in Colorado Act,” reforms the bidding process for state work projects, such as highway construction. Bill sponsors say the legislation helps to ensure that Colorado taxpayer dollars are being spent on local workers.

“This really was my number one priority coming into this legislative session,” said state Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood. “We need to do everything we can to keep and create jobs in Colorado, and make sure our taxpayer dollars are being used as wisely as possible.”

Under the bill, state agencies would not only weigh bid costs from contractors, but also would take into consideration “best value” bids, which include factors such as the contractor’s employment practices, such as worker wages and benefits.

The teeth in the act is in the enforcement of a law that’s been on the books for 80 years.

Before the bill was introduced, there was a requirement that state-funded construction projects have a workforce that is made up of 80 percent of Colorado workers. For years, the requirement was rarely, if ever enforced, primarily because the penalty for employers who violated the law was jail time.

Now, the bill creates a series of civil penalties that could eventually lead to contractor disbarment whenever that 80 percent threshold is not met.

State agencies can waive the 80 percent rule if contractors can show there is not sufficient Colorado labor available for a project.

The bill also requires many contractors to provide proof of the country of origin for materials used in projects, such as iron and steel.

The two state entities that will oversee enforcement of the bill’s provisions will be the Departments of Labor and Employment, and Personnel and Administration.

Some contractors who testified during the legislative process raised concern their costs of doing business with the state would rise and that the bill’s reporting requirements would increase overhead. In fact, the General Assembly’s Legislative Council’s staff report on the bill states that “the new reporting required by the bill may increase contractor costs.”

Republicans have criticized the bill as something that could actually reduce the number of contracting jobs and blasted it as having been spearheaded by unions. The AFLCIO was a major driver of the legislation.

“Whatever happened to the simple, `Hey, low bid? Qualified bidder? Sold?’” said Sen. Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City, during a Senate debate earlier this month. “That’s good for the taxpayer.”

But bill supporters believe there should be more to the process than just low bids.

“A low bid may cost less, but at the end of the day, it may not be the best value for the taxpayer,” Kerr said.

And bill sponsors disagree that this bill is all about making unions happy.

“I wasn’t trying to protect one kind of worker over the other,” said Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk. “I think the important thing is that local taxpayers are protected and that jobs stay here, at the end of the day.”

Gun deaths take steady toll B

Sci for

Colorado Springs neighborhood has state’s worst numbers

By Kevin Vaughan I-News Network

Tragedies like those at Columbine and Aurora drive the public debate about guns, but the truth in Colorado is that the state experienced an unremitting loss of life involving firearms — 6,258 deaths — over the 12 calendar years that fell between those mass shootings.

That’s 10 gun deaths a week — every week — during that span.

And the area that experienced the most gun deaths from 2000 through 2011 was not a gang-weary section of Denver or Aurora but a southeast Colorado Springs neighborhood of 1960s tract homes, apartments and schools where postcard-perfect views of Pikes Peak frame the skyline, an INews analysis of health and census data found.

The area is designated by the federal government as Census Tract 54.00, one of 1,249 geographically distinct districts in the state.

And from 2000 through 2011, 24 of its residents died of gunshot wounds.

The next deadliest census tract, with 20 deaths, was located in Grand Junction, and another in Denver had 19, I-News found.

Five of the top six neighborhoods for gun homicides were in the Denver or Aurora, while the top four neighborhoods for gun suicides were in Grand Junction, Montrose or Mesa County.

Over that span, 76 percent of the state’s gun deaths were suicides, 20 percent homicides.

“It is a public health issue,” said state Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, the mother of a son murdered by gunfire.

“We pay for it in the end.

Society — we pay for the medical treatment, the loss of productivity. It’s a ripple effect. When someone gets murdered or harmed by gun violence, it affects the family, it affects the community — not just that one

The neighborhood’s 24 gun deaths were more than any other census tract in Colorado during the period. Photo by Joe Mahoney/I-News Network at Rocky Mountain PBS person.”

The death toll for residents of Census Tract 54.00, part of the Colorado Springs neighborhood known as Pikes Peak Park, included 12 homicides and 12 suicides. That made it an anomaly among the deadliest neighborhoods in that it had as many homicides as suicides.

The second deadliest tract, in Grand Junction, had 17 suicides and three homicides. The tract in Denver’s Platte Park area that experienced 19 deaths had 10 suicides, eight homicides and one classified as “other” — a police shooting, accident or undetermined fatality.

Four other tracts had 17 gun deaths during the 12year span — three in Grand Junction, Montrose and Teller County driven by suicides and one in Denver’s Montbello neighborhood driven by homicides.

The I-News investigation of Colorado’s shooting deaths found a strong relationship between poverty and firearms homicides — and no discernible link between being poor and gun suicides.

For example, the average poverty rate in 656 census tracts with no gun homicides was 10 percent.

It jumped to 16 percent

in neighborhoods with at least one gun homicide, to 22 percent in tracts with at least three, and to 24 percent in areas with at least four.

It was vastly different with suicides: The average poverty rate fluctuated around 12.7 percent in neighborhoods with no gun suicides and up to and including those with four or more.

In that way, Census Tract 54.00 fell in line with homicide statistics and bucked suicide statistics.

The area, developed in the 1960s, includes ranch and multi-level suburban homes, apartment complexes, a commercial district, and four schools. And its 5,615 residents face serious socio-economic challenges.

The median family income was $29,313 in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau — down significantly from 1980, when median family income was the equivalent of $40,010 in today’s dollars. More than 20 percent of families — and nearly 44 percent of children — live in poverty.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment data included the census tract where each victim lived but, because

death certificates are not public, not the identities of those who died. I-News was able to identify many using police, court and coroner’s records and other public documents.

The loss of life in Census Tract 54.00 was a mosaic: A father who shot his teenage son while trying to teach him gun safety. A gangland slaying. Solitary suicides.

A jealous former boyfriend who fired blindly through a door.

Four domestic violence murder-suicides. And an utterly random shooting carried out by a Fort Carsonbased U.S. Army soldier.

“Some of them, they are domestic-related and they are very personal, to the very random or motivated through drugs or through property crimes or through any number of things,” said Colorado Springs Police Cmdr. Kirk Wilson, whose division includes Census Tract 54.00. “There is no pattern, if you will, for why some of these homicides take place.”

Joy Kelly-Blackwell, whose sister, Leslie Brown, was murdered in 2004 by a former boyfriend, grew up in south Colorado Springs and has a sober view of life there.

alcohol,” she said.

“Where there’s drugs and alcohol, there will be guns. Therefore there will be crime.”

Poverty and guns are definitely a part of life in Pikes Peak Park — and it is nothing new.

“These children were at war,” said Rich Caruth, who managed an apartment complex in the neighborhood for years and initiated an anti-gang program.

“When they’d go outside their house, they had to worry about a drive-by shooting. They had to worry about being robbed and losing their tennis shoes.”

But the neighborhood’s problems aren’t only economic.

Transience is a way of life — an I-News examination of property records found that nearly 30 percent of the 1,181 single-family homes are rentals, and the neighborhood includes 772 apartment units and 131 townhome and condominium units.

People come and go often, tearing at the sense of “community” — the perception of belonging to a place and caring about it.

Katherine Giuffre, chair of the sociology department at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, knows transience — she lives next to a rental home, where tenants have come and gone every three months or four months for 17 years.

“I don’t even bother to know who they are because they’ll be out soon,” Giuffre said. “I’m not baking a banana bread and going over there.”

Poverty, transience, and neighborhood violence confront the teachers and administrators at the four public schools in the tract — Centennial, Monterey and Pikes Peak elementary schools and Carmel Middle.

There, the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch is high — 81.5 at Carmel, 87.1 at Monterey, 90.5 at Centennial,

90.6 at Pikes Peak.

The vast majority qualify for free lunches, meaning family income in the 2011-12 school year totaledBy S $29,055 or less for a familysellin of four.

Against that backdrop, thoughts on addressing gun deaths vary.

“We have all these laws and proposals and whatever to try and handle what’s happening,” said Dr. Manish Sethi, an orthopedic trauma surgeon at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee who frequently operates on gunshot victims.

“And I just feel like we need community solutions.”

So he and a colleague won a small grant for a pilot program that teaches conflict resolution strategies in schools.

The initial results were encouraging, and now they are seeking money to extend the program to 10 schools.

“Some of these children, once these things happen to them, their lives are over,” said Sethi, who has lectured on gun violence.

“They’re done, and the world that they knew is gone.”

Fields, the state representative from Aurora, applauded that kind of work.

But she also touted new laws — she sponsored a measure extending background checks to private gun sales.

“I would agree that legislation is not the sole avenue … but I do think that legislation is one tool to help us address those that use guns when they’re committing crimes, and how they go about purchasing their guns, and how we regulate guns,” Fields said.

l Beloved Guennel left big mark Scientist was driving force in Colorado soccer

qualeanthe taledBy Sonya Ellingboe amilysellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com

Cen- Littleton’s beloved Joe Guennel, who anddied May 13, touched the lives of thousands e ar-of soccer-playing boys and girls — and their mpleparents — over half a century, while also aclesconducting serious scientific research. Afsuc-ter he retired, he wrote and illustrated two handsome volumes on Colorado’s wildsureflowers. and In 1961, Guennel came to work at Maraup athon Oil Co. as a palynologist (a scientist amilywho studies spores and pollen). In addition to building an international reputation in nthlyscience, with more than 30 papers pubencelished, he became known as the “Father of t” —Colorado Soccer” and had involvements in tion-the sport across the nation. He worked with the U.S. Olympic Committee for 12 years. hows Born in Oelsnitz, Germany, Guennel safemoved to the United States with his family capein 1934 at the age of 13. In high school, he oundlettered in football, basketball and baseball.

He received bachelor’s and master’s degrees ent’sin botany from Butler University in Indiana, h. served in the Army Reserve, then served in han-the the U.S. Army from 1943-45 in Germaandny, France and Austria. He returned to Gerhap-many as a civilian employee, where he met don’tand married Hilde Lang in 1947. She died

‘He had a tremendous amount of influence — I can’t say enough about it.’

Hossein Kazemi, fellow soccer enthusiast before he did.

Guennel worked for the Indiana Geological Survey and received his Ph.D. from Indiana University, where he started a soccer program that now is at the top nationwide, according to former Marathon colleague and fellow soccer enthusiast Hossein Kazemi.

When Guennel joined Marathon in Littleton in 1961, he met John Meyer, a Dutch man who advocated a junior soccer program for the area and was eager to start it, although he had not played as a child. Meyer was transferred out of state in two years, but Guennel was hooked.

Kazemi, now a Castle Rock resident and faculty member at Colorado School of Mines, said Guennel recruited him when he joined Marathon as a 30-year-old scientist — and Kazemi is still coaching more than 40 years later.

Kazemi estimates that there may be as many as 70,000 boys and girls playing soccer in the Colorado Youth Soccer Asso-

ciation. “He had a tremendous amount of influence — I can’t say enough about it,” Kazemi said.

When Guennel started his organization, he had to do it all: lining up fields, ordering balls from the east, coaching, officiating, fundraising, holding clinics and more. He also encouraged European teams to play in Denver so families could watch the pros.

Initially, he was not allowed to pound goalposts into the ground in Denver, since the sport was so little respected and authorities did not want to damage the grass.

Guennel convinced school boards to include the sport — the Centennial League accepted it as a varsity sport in 1968 and the Colorado High School Activities Association sanctioned it in 1971.

Guennel later found time to help programs start in Ohio, Montana, Massachusetts, Oklahoma and Texas, according to the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame website about him. Intercollegiate teams and two semi-pro teams are now on the scene in

Colorado.

Guennel was elected to three different Halls of Fame: Colorado Sports Hall of Fame, Colorado Soccer Hall of Fame and U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame.

When Guennel retired, he intensified his study of the flora of Colorado — painting, photographing collecting and cataloging slides and specimens.

He wrote and illustrated a user-friendly two-volume “Guide to Colorado Wildflowers,” with watercolor paintings and photographs of each variety.

Many local friends enjoyed mountain hiking with this energetic man.

Guennel married Inge Holmgren on April 19, 2010, and continued to live in Littleton, still visiting soccer games when possible.

He gained a stepdaughter, Janine Holmgren, with whom he established a warm connection, as he told her about German heritage.

Inge said her husband also taught a number of local kids to ski in earlier days, including a young Bill McKinnell Jr., who said Joe and Hilde were like a second set of parents to him. They recall trips to the mountains in Guennel’s Volkswagen, almost choking on the smoke from his oftenpresent cigar.

Burial was at Fort Logan Cemetery, and friends gathered to share stories about Joe Guennel, although there was no formal service, in keeping with his wishes.

“We came to honor those who sacrificed their lives in service of our country and being here together makes a special day even more special for us.”

Mother Nature provided a very warm, almost cloudless day for the ceremonies.

There were the speeches, members of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars auxiliaries placed flowers at the symbolic headstone, and a group of dignitaries and a group of Gold Star Wives each placed a wreath there.

There was the firing of the 21-gun salute by an All Veterans Honor Guard, made up of

members of Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644 in Sheridan, and the playing of “Taps.”

There were quite a few families with their children at the ceremonies. Also, there was a group of about 20 boys and girls in the uniform of the Mountain View Young Marines who volunteered to hand out programs.

Young Marine Lance Cpl. Xander Tamblyn, 9, said he liked being part of the organization.

“We are like a family and I like to take part in team activities to help people because I go home with the feeling I have done something good to help others,” the boy said. “We are here today to help and also to honor those who died for our country.

Longtime friendship blurs the decades “You two look like you’re up to no good tonight,” the attractive stranger said. She was about 15 years too late.

Mike and I weren’t exactly looking for trouble. We were looking for a box of candies in a grocery store on Quebec. I had given Mike a box of Mike and Ike with the “Ike” scratched out, and he thought I had scratched it out myself. I wanted to prove to him that they weren’t my scratches.

The candy’s parent company, Just Born, had the brilliant idea to spend $15 million in 2012 on an ad campaign designed to boost sales. Just Born had spent $125,000 on adverting in 2011. Big difference.

The plan was to revive sales by splitting up Mike and Ike, and then re-unite them (which Just Born did in 2013). Did it work?

You tell me. I have never had a Mike candy or an Ike candy in my life.

But I have a Mike friend.

He flew into Denver recently to select a painting from my inventory, as a gift. He didn’t know that he was going to be asked to perform an illegitimate marriage. That story is saved for another day.

I met Mike the friend in 1960 in southwest Ohio, where we both attended the

same high school.

I had just arrived from Southern California. Orange County, Calif., and Hamilton County, Ohio, in 1960. Big difference. One was sunshine and more sunshine. One was overcast and more overcast.

I became overcast myself, until I met Mike, who lived just up the block. We were inseparable, until his father was transferred to northern California, after our junior year. His departure was a very sad day for me.

Our friendship since then has had a few gaps, and at one time we were down to exchanging Christmas cards. You know that a friendship is in disrepair when it gets down

to nothing but Christmas cards.

Then Mike’s first wife was run over by a bus in New York City. Mike’s wife thought her death meant something sideways, that Mike and I needed to revive our friendship.

Thank you, Connie.

Since then we have been back and forth, Colorado to California, and California to Colorado. It’s not been often enough, but when it happens, it’s perfect. Mike was a very respected San Francisco architect and I was, well, a difficult college professor, so we come together as a bright, intelligent, articulate team. However, we thrive on foolishness, and sophomoric behavior. It’s 1962-63 again.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud.”

I know what he has done, the good and the otherwise, and he knows what I have done, for the past 53 years. I am always startled by the similarities: each of us has hit a few doubles and triples, experienced love, and missed the off ramp now and then.

In 1967 we went to a concert at Melodyland, which had a revolving stage, in

Orange County, Calif. Two up-and-coming acts performed. First, Simon and Garfunkel. They were followed by The Mamas & The Papas. Not bad.

As the stage revolved, I could hear Garfunkel’s mint clicking in his mouth. At that time, Simon was good friends with Garfunkel, just like Mike and me. Then things went off, and they split up, and both of them have had good careers apart.

Eventually they gathered up and called each other. I watched them sing “The Boxer” on Letterman on July 2, 2011. Garfunkel’s hair was still haywire.

“God, that was nice,” Letterman said afterwards.

After Mike left us yesterday morning, to return his rental car at the airport, I said to Jennifer, “God, that was nice.”

The attractive stranger could have been a mentalist and said, “You two look like old friends. Memories have brushed the same years.”

preparedness kit?

In light of recent man-made and natural disasters, Colorado Community Media visited locations in Englewood and

Littleton to ask people if they had put together a disaster preparedness kit in their homes.

“No, I have don’t have a kit but I have everything I need in my house in case of a disaster. I don’t plan to put a kit together because I just don’t worry about a disaster hitting our area.”

— Dana Murphree, Englewood

“I do not have a kit put together but I feel I have all I need to be well prepared at my home. However, I think having everything together is probably a pretty good idea.”

— Marissa Gettman, Englewood firefighter

“I do not have a disaster preparedness kit. … I guess it would be a good idea to have those things gathered up in one location if some sort of disaster hit so it might be a good idea to put a kit together.”

— Kathleen Gibson, Littleton

“I don’t think we have a disaster preparedness kit in our house although we have everything they recommend to have in a kit there. It probably would be a good idea to have all those things … in one place.”

— Carl Coulson, Centennial

Reprieve for killer of four is a case of justice denied I am incredibly disappointed with Gov. John Hickenlooper’s executive order to stay the execution of Nathan Dunlap.

With a looming execution date set for this August, the governor was left with few options regarding Dunlap’s fate. He could have signed the warrant allowing the execution to move forward or he could have commuted Dunlap’s sentence to life without the possibility of parole. He chose neither. Instead he granted a temporary reprieve, meaning Dunlap will likely remain on death row for the duration of Hickenlooper’s administration. It’s a non-decision that leaves Dunlap’s fate, and the pursuit of justice by victims’ families, up to the next administration.

The governor’s lack of leadership results in the worst possible option for the victims’ families, the integrity of our legal system, and the citizens of Colorado who have decided more than once that the death penalty is an appropriate sentencing option in our state. Though it has been almost 20 years since this horrible crime was committed, we cannot allow our memory of the victims and the grieving families that Dunlap’s brutal crimes left behind to fade.

I was living the dream and didn’t even know it.

The main reasons that I was missing it were because I had not identified my dream and I did not understand the process to fulfill it if I had known what it was.

A couple of stories illustrate my dilemma.

In the first chapter of my book, “Welcome to the Big Leagues — Every Man’s Journey to Significance,” the main character was playing in the big leagues on, arguably, the best baseball team to ever take the field. With Cincinnati’s Big Red Machine, Darrel Chaney played in four National League championship series and three World Series, including the classic sevengame, 1975 World Series with the Boston Red Sox. But he was living with the nagging frustration that his dream was unfulfilled because he was the utility player among superstars.

Joseph is a key figure in rescuing and establishing God’s people during their difficult days in the captivity of Egypt.

The Bible narrative reveals that God put the dream in the boy Joseph but refined and focused the dream during the painful maturing process that included rejection, slavery, injustice and more rejection before the dream came true. During the decades of pain, I doubt Joseph would have said,

Justice delayed is justice denied.

While I understand the choice to sign or not sign Dunlap’s death warrant was one of the most difficult and personal decisions Hickenlooper will make during his time in office, a decision that provides closure to the victims’ families would have been the right thing to do. To shirk his responsibility and duty as governor demonstrates a lack of courage, a lack of respect for the victims, and a total disregard for our judicial system and the 12 jurors who convicted the Aurora mass murderer.

“I’m living the dream,” even though his dream really was coming true.

During this era of terrorism, a difficult economy plus relational and family chaos, it seems to me that many are giving up on the idea of a dream let alone the hope of it being fulfilled and the satisfaction of living in the process.

When I was a boy, I remember wanting to be somebody who mattered — someone whose life made an impact on those around him. I was clueless what that meant but as I lived I tried to find it in many of the normal ways, usually ending up in disappointment. I like sports, but I was not a great athlete. I have a college degree but academics were a struggle for me.

I went into ministry, but never had a large church. God has always provided for me Hettinger continues on Page 9

All of us have our commencements First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone who has recently graduated from any level of education as well as all of the family members and friends who supported you along the way. You did a fantastic job, and each and every one of you should be very proud of yourselves.

I could include the typical quotes

by Dr. Seuss, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., Mark Twain or Walt Disney about the places you can go, the things that you can accomplish, pursuing your dreams and living with an abundance of creativity and imagination as you prepare for whatever it is that you have graduated to. But since most of you that graduated or attended a graduation ceremony have heard your fair share of quotes for the week, I will not quote these gentlemen again.

Graduation isn’t just for the students; at some point in life we all graduate to some higher level in our career, a skill, a talent, or even in a relationship. Technically, I guess that does make us all students, doesn’t it? We are constantly learning and a student of life.

As we prepare to graduate or ad-

but most of my life has been on the ragged financial edge.

Now, with the perspective that almost six decades of living provides, I am beginning to see that my struggles have cultivated strength, my interests have provided ideas, my relationships have nurtured empathy and my financial needs have deepened faith and a known dependency on God. All of that adds up to more skills and opportunities for me to serve others where my life really matters.

and 17-year-old Colleen O’Connor, and callously shot Bobby Stevens in the head, a nightmare began for their families that continues to this day. For 20 years, these families have waited for justice to be delivered. Now, Hickelooper’s failure to make a decision age 9will ensure their nightmare continues, at least through the end of his time in office.

If the governor had decided to commute Dunlap’s sentence to life

vance in any endeavor, it takes time, commitment, and a desire to actually want to advance or achieve that next level. There is a quote that I would like to share with you. I have shared it before in previous columns, but it is so relevant and so powerful I wanted to share it again. Eric Hoffer says it this way, “In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.”

We have to constantly be willing to learn.

How about you, are you taking your fitness to a higher level? Maybe you are advancing your ability in learning to play an instrument.

Perhaps you are studying a second, maybe even a third language. I know

many of you who read this column are studying the Bible and looking to further your understanding of God’s word. And maybe there are some of us who are graduating to new heights in our ability to communicate and build deeper relationships.

You see we really never stop learning and never stop attempting to graduate or advance to a higher level. My sister-in-law recently visited Colorado and had not actually cooked a full meal in over 27 years. But with a little coaching and support, she cooked an incredible dinner and I believe has now graduated to a new level in her ability as a chef. OK, maybe “chef” is a little too strong, but she did an amazing job.

Where are you going? What are you pursuing? What do you want to advance in your life? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com and when we pursue graduating at anything in this life, it will certainly be a better than good week.

Michael Norton, a resident of Highlands Ranch, is the former president of the Zig Ziglar organization and CEO and founder of www.candogo.com

saved from starvation and became a great nation. After a pre-game conversation with the wise baseball manager, Sparky Anderson, Darrel discovered that his good work as a utility player helped the team be all everyone dreamed it could be. His job was to “be ready when the game came to him.” He was, and the Reds won that incredible World Series in 1975.

Many times, as a hospice chaplain, I have stood at the bedside of a loved one who just passed from this life into the next and heard the family share the immeasurable impact of that life on theirs. Things as simple as the memory of a mom singing while she fixed pancakes, a dad taking his daughters on dates to teach them how a man should treat them or the importance as the presence of a spouse who simply was there to en-

dure the trials and share the joys were all important actions that influenced lives and left a lasting legacy of what life is all about and how it should be lived. I wonder if the person felt that their life mattered, knew their impact changed the world and realized that they were living the dream.

When the churches of our town teach the story of Joseph and help people understand God’s strategy of love to make every life matter, we can all believe in our dream, welcome the process and dream even greater dreams.

without the possibility of parole, I would have disagreed with the decision but I could have respected it. At least then the families would have had some sort of resolution to their nightmare. But it is completely unfair to say to the victims, who have doubted for nearly 20 years that justice would prevail, that they will have to wait even longer for finality in this horrible ordeal.

We expect our leaders to make tough decisions when the circumstance calls for it.

We may not always agree with the decision a leader makes, but we expect it to be made. Hickenlooper’s

refusal to make a decision regarding the fate of Nathan Dunlap is a failure in leadership that ignores the citizens who decided capital punishment is an appropriate sentencing option, that marginalizes the judicial system that got us to this point, and — most importantly — that delays justice for the victims and families of this horrible crime.

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK is entirely residential sales. I’ve got 30 years of experience Paul Finger and over 2500 sales.

REALTOR®, CRS

What is the most challenging part of what you do?

Understanding how the other person communicates so I can communicate with them in a way easiest for them.

Re/Max Masters, Inc. 6400 S. Fiddlers Green Circle Englewood, CO, 80111 Phone: 303.930.5150 Phone: 303.771.9400 www.coloradomasters.com

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?

I love spending time with my family and enjoying the outdoors. I make sure to balance my work with my family and healthy activities like skiing, fishing and golf.

Where were you born?

I was born in Iowa and we moved immediately to Colorado. I’ve been here my whole life and cannot imagine living anywhere else.

What do you like most about it?

When there’s fresh power on the slopes every winter and gorgeous greenery blanketing the golf courses every summer, excellent business opportunities, wonderful people and culture, there really is no limit to what is possible here in Colorado.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?

I’ve been working in real estate for the past thirty years.

Fourteen years’ ago, my wife Darlene joined with me in the business. Darlene is the heart of the organization and client care manager.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?

My specialty is residential. I hold a highly coveted Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation and have served two terms as president of the CRS Colorado Chapter.

I keep track of the residential market, that’s all I do. My focus

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house?

Check the person’s experience level, get references and look at their marketing plan. What are they going to do as far as marketing your property?

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?

Find an agent that you feel comfortable with and one that’s got your best interest and family’s goals at heart. Buying a home is a highly stressful situation for anybody, no matter how many times they’ve gone through it. I try to understand what my buyers are going through and be sensitive to their needs.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

Instructions for a listing said, “Don’t let the little dog out.” When the buyer and I arrived, we noticed the back door was open and there was no dog! We spent 15 minutes looking for him and finally called the listing agent. They told me, “Oh, we forgot to tell you, the owner took the dog today!”

Unlock your mortgage approval R

eal estate professionals say the market is rebounding, and many would-be home buyers are eagerly awaiting their opportunities to purchase their own homes. Fresh data indicates that the inventory of properties is quickly drying up and soon the market is poised to point in the sellers’ favor.

According to Allen & Associates, a real estate appraisal, consultant and research firm based in Colorado, properties in the area listed for sale are below the six-month supply of inventory. Now could be the time to get a good deal on a home, provided buyers are able to secure mortgages.

No matter how many affordable homes are available, if a buyer cannot get approved for a mortgage, then his or her chances of owning a home are slim. In the wake of a tumultuous economy, many lenders tightened restrictions on mortgage lending. And even though the economy has rebounded, many lenders have continued to follow strict guidelines before lending money. In order to secure a mortgage with a good interest rate, buyers must take control of their financial situations and fix problems that could lead to loan rejection.

Many things can impact a mortgage application. Here are the ways to overcome liabilities and improve your standing with prospective lenders.

Know your credit rating. Your credit rating is a score that lenders rely on when deciding whether or not to approve your mortgage application. The higher the credit rating, the more attractive you look to prospective lenders. But the lower your score is, the more difficulty you will have getting a loan. Should you get a loan with a low score, you may have to pay a higher interest rate than someone with better credit. Prior to making any big financial decisions, such as applying for a mortgage, it is vital to find out your credit score. You can request a free copy of your credit report, which includes your credit score, once a year from the three major credit reporting agencies in the United States and Canada: TransUnion, Experian and Equifax. You also

N

L E D MO !

N E P OW O

can pay for your credit report.

Address any issues on your report. Once you know your score, you can take steps to address any issues on the report.

Pay down revolving consumer debts, such as credit card balances and auto loans. Report any errors on your credit report so they can be adjusted. Pay bills on time and address any notices of collections before they make it onto your permanent record. If you will be applying for a loan soon, avoid opening any other credit accounts for the time being.

Maintain steady employment. Having a job is often vital to getting a mortgage. Lenders tend to look for long-term financial stability, which is best illustrated by maintaining steady employment. Jumping from job to job may be a red flag to lenders, so it’s better to make a switch after you have been approved for a loan.

Save, save, save. Having more money in the bank lowers your loan-to-value ratio, or LTV. This will make you appear less risky to lenders. Individuals who have saved for a considerable down payment on a home are also seen in a better light.

Make sure you have a credit history. Some people are too cautious with their credit and think closing accounts or avoiding credit entirely will make them more attractive to lenders. But this can backfire. Lenders will want to see a strong credit history that indicates your ability to pay your debts on time.

Get a cosigner. If you are uncertain about your ability to secure a loan on your own, then consider a cosigner to make you more attractive to prospective lenders. The cosigner helps guarantee the lender that your mortgage payments will be made.

People looking to buy a home in the near future must make themselves attractive to mortgage lenders, many of whom are still reluctant to approve loans for candidates without strong financial backgrounds. ■ Metro Creative Services

WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT.

WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra�smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and sustainable building techniques. The thicker walls in our New Town Builders’ high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula�on than in a conven�onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we can get 2 ½ �mes MORE insula�on in the a�c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill! Talk to us about building your (surprisingly affordable) energy-efficient new home.

Winners on the walls Greenwood Village gallery invites five artists to show works

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Each year, Curtis Arts and Humanities Center invites artists to enter an All Colorado Show, with a juror selecting the exhibit from many entries. This spring, director Jo Cole decided to invite five winners from previous years to submit works for the “Gold Medal Show: Five Years of First Place Winners From the Greenwood Village All Colorado Annual Shows.”

Invited artists each exhibit a small selection of representative work, which gives a good picture of the high-quality art this gallery attracts.

It should be better known among area art lovers.

if you go Curtis Arts and Humanities Center is located at 2349 E. Orchard Road, just west of University. It is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. 303-7971779. Admission is free. The center also offers art classes for children and adults.

It was originally a 1920 red brick schoolhouse at Orchard Road and University and was converted into a Landmark Historic Site and Gallery by the Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Council. Hardwood floors, large windows and good lighting offer an inviting background for modestsized exhibits of all sorts.

Invited artists in this show are: • Kathryn Cole, whose works are softedged, figurative in subtle colors.

• Joellyn Duesberry, a prolific painter who lives in Greenwood Village and paints the landscapes around her, including scenes along the South Platte River, in a dis-

tinctive style.

• Rob Gratiot, a Denver painter who frequently exhibits at Curtis and elsewhere in a hyper-realistic style with city scenes and still lifes. “There is a certain mystery about approaching windows and doors,” he writes. They simultaneously keep the viewer out and let the viewer partially into the pictured space.

• Sharon Holsapple paints large, engaging figurative works.

• Irene Delka McCray, whose figures certainly encourage the viewer to create stories. She writes in her website about “the possibilities, desires and necessities bound up in human beingness … paintings are meant as scenes from the psychic realm.”

The exhibit will run until June 7 and should interest viewers of all kinds. Painters certainly will be intrigued by presentation and technique, but everyone will be drawn to the stories these artists have to tell us.

Where have they been and what are they wanting to share with us?

Arts, drama, nature provide summer fun Kids have plethora of activities in area

sellingboe@ourcolorado news.com For children’s summer fun, the trick is to hit a balance that fits each individual child — one that a parent can manage to provide. Running and playing ball and swimming fill the bill for many kids, but for some others, taking a crack at Shakespeare or a musical, working in clay or paint, or getting up close and personal with a frog or turtle may open new possibilities.

Each of our areas has a recreation district with a great variety of programs. See catalogs online for South Suburban, Englewood, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker and Castle Rock.

We have a few additional suggestions that may fit a child’s interests: • The Actor’s Playground at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton offers a production of “Grease” (school version) for grades 6-12, running June 17 to

We recognize this is just a sample of what is available out there, based on information we have received. Exploration is encouraged

Smashburger founder Tom Ryan, the man who also brought you Tom’s Urban 24, a 24-hour diner style restaurant on Larimer Square, just opened another fast-casual eatery, Live Basil Pizza, at 6305 E. Hampden Ave. in Denver, on May 23.

The new chain plans to open more outlets. The process is similar to Denver-based Chipotle Mexican Grill, where customers go through a line choosing what ingredients they want on their thin-crust pizzas before the dough goes in an oven that can cook a pizza in 150 seconds, according to an Associated Press report.

“Co-founder Ryan says he thinks fresh, fast pizzas made before a customer’s eyes is where the market is heading,” according to the story. “A handful of shops, including 800 Degrees in Los Angeles, has similar concepts. Plans for such a chain were announced previously under the name Honest Pizza.”

Honestly? I just want my pizza delivered to my house hot and in under an hour.

On another pizza note, Pizzeria Locale from the Frasca folks is opening at Sixth and Broadway (also known as the impossible place to park safely).

Dog-gone good eatin’ at DIA

Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs, the popular spot at 3525 E. Colfax Ave., has formed a joint venture with LS Travel Retail North America and Doc 1 Solutions to open a restaurant in Denver International Airport, Concourse B. The airport space will be 1,390 square feet where owner and founder Steve Ballas and his wife, Linda, will serve a litter of their famous hot dogs along with sides such as the scrumptious deep-fried green beans.

Voted “Best Hot Dogs in Denver” for six years in a row and 11th on the list of “Best Hot Dog Across America,” Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs has been catering to Denver residents and visitors for seven years in its Colfax location. Its restaurant is one of the most authentic and welcoming in the area, and its menu has a unique “homemade” feel. It includes hot dogs, burgers, and sides such as French fries, onion rings, potato tots and chili con carne.

Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs is a supporter of local organizations, such as Project Angel Heart, which serves meals to people with life-threatening conditions.

“This is a dream come true for my wife and I … we’re walking on air in the Mile High City! We’re super excited to be part of this and look forward to working with our partners and the airport team to introduce the world to the city’s best hot dogs,” Ballas said.

A dine-in restaurant, the DIA Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs also will feature take-out options for travelers in a rush, including “Steve’s On The Go”: a grab-and-go counter offering ready-made hot dogs, breakfast sandwiches and wraps. Partnering with the Colorado native Bull & Bush Pub and Brewery — winner of a Gold Award at the World Beer Cup, the world’s largest beer competition — the location also will feature a large bar offering beer, bottled and on tap.

“We are pleased to have Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs, and for the first time, LS travel retail, join our team,” said John Ackerman, chief commercial officer at Denver International Airport. “Steve’s is a popular local brand that will enhance the overall offerings at DIA, and help diversify our concessions.”

Union Station secures eateries

Larimer Associates and their partners announced the first three major restaurant tenants for the rebirth of Union Station, under major construction on Wynkoop Street in Lower Downtown.

The three newcomers will be The Kitchen Next Door (a sibling of The Kitchen at 1530 16th St. and the original in Boulder), Snooze (brace yourself for the line for this popular breakfast spot with locations in Denver, The Streets at Southglenn and Fort Collins) and a new concept from master chef Alex Siedel, owner of Fruition.

All three locally owned restaurants will open in the revitalized train terminal in July 2014 with each featuring a large patio for outdoor dining.

“This is an exciting first step in establishing Union Station as Denver’s next great dining destination for both locals and visitors,” said Jeff Hermanson, chief executive officer of Larimer Associates. “These award-winning restaurants represent the true Colorado experience and embody downtown Denver’s genuine collaborative spirit.”

Before selecting the restaurants that Larimer Associates would lease at Union Station, they held a series of focus groups to help determine the public’s preference for the landmark property.

“We consistently heard that Union Station is an iconic Colorado building with a rich history and that everyone wanted to see Colorado-based businesses in there,” said Pat McHenry, leasing and acquisition

Sand in the City, Arvada style

Arvada is hosting Colorado’s first Sand in the City event June 14-15. Local businesses, community members, master sculptors and architects will form a dozen teams that will create sculptures made from more than 60 tons of sand. The completed sculptures can be viewed from 4 to 8 p.m. June 14 and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 15 outside the Arvada Center for Performing Arts at 6901 Wadsworth Blvd.

The Arvada Chamber of Commerce partnered with several event sponsors including Integrated Snow Removal, State Farm Insurance and Arvada Rent Alls.

Visitors to the free event also can enjoy live music by local bands including Branded Bandits, Burnt Lips and The Duke Street Kings. Amusement rides, food, refreshments and a gigantic sandbox are also part of the festival.

Trip down memory lane … in Arvada

Earlier this month, Mr. On The Town and I took a trip down memory lane … at least for my hubby, who lived in Arvada for seven-plus years.

A lot has changed since 1998!

The Friday night adventure in Olde Town Arvada began at Arvada Beer Company. Housed in a historic building that was built in 1916, Arvada Beer has an extensive beer list that changes seasonally.

Warning: No alcohol or wine is served here, but this is a mecca for beer lovers.

Around the corner, at 5707 Olde Wadsworth Blvd., we moved on to Arvada Tavern. Like much of Olde Town Arvada, the Tavern is steeped in history. The Arvada Tavern was issued the first tavern’s license by the town of Arvada in 1933. While keeping much of the exterior and decorating the interior with photos of Arvada’s past, the Tavern has added modern touches in decor and its menu.

Our group of seven, including five Arvada residents (two former Denver Post colleagues, their wives and a neighbor), enjoyed dinner and drinks in a delightful, quiet area in the back of the eatery. We noshed on ribs, wings, Bavarian pretzels, green chile and entrees, including the Colorado spiced trout and steak melt.

Olde Town Arvada is hopping on the weekends, we’re told, and we cannot wait to go back. And don’t forget the RTD Fastracks Gold Line is scheduled to run right through Olde Town in 2016.

Spend an evening in 1967 THINGS TO DO

Treasured artifact ‘Hair’ at Town Hall Arts Center

JUNE 3

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Peace, love, flowers, dance and an ongoing party fill Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center with a mostly positive vibe for two hours as the cast of “Hair: the American Tribal Love-Rock Musical” takes one timetraveling to 1967, a trip conducted by director Nick Sugar and a strong cast.

The stage is covered with overlapped Oriental rugs, the backdrop a huge sun design. At the side, on steps, is a great fourpiece ensemble, led by music director Donna Debreceni.

This production follows the recent joyous re-staging on Broadway by Diane Paulus and features much more interaction between cast and audience than the original — which fits with the general sweet spirit of the show.

The book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado, set to a rock score by Gail McDermott, celebrate the youth movement and passions in a place that seems far, far away today.

Sugar’s cast, continually in motion and carefully choreographed to look casual, delivers the familiar songs and story with a fresh enthusiasm and strong voices, beginning with “Age of Aquarius” by Dionne (Ashley-Amber Harris) and tribe, led by the raffish Berger (Matt LaFontaine) and reprising “Good Morning Starshine” near the finale.

An amusing vignette is a visit to the tribe from famed anthropologist Margaret Mead (Rob Janzen) — “are you a hippie?”

Underlying the festive atmosphere is protest of the Vietnam War, which tore the country apart at that time — and still hangs heavy today. Tribe member Claude (Casey Andree) is drafted and eventually decides to report for duty instead of burning his draft card as many of his friends did. Also, drugs are omnipresent.

In 1967, “Hair,” the first rock musical,

Today, it seems like a treasured artifact — one wants to revisit again and again. Sugar comments in his notes, “Hair” tackled the most controversial issues facing our country. The cast of hippies echoed chants from the streets outside, protesting the Vietnam war, the draft, sexual repression, racism, environmental destruction and poverty through their message of peace and love.

“No matter which side you stood on in the

1960s, or in 2013, our world is still trying to figure out how we can all learn to love one another.”

This lovingly presented production still speaks to us today — as discord flares in every direction.

When you go, be prepared for a smiling hippie in — or close to — your lap!

Costumes by Linda Morken are consistently raggedy and quirky, without being overdone; lighting and sound are welldesigned and Sugar’s choreography is remarkable: seemingly casual, but carefully blocked so no one is knocked over in the almost constant, upbeat motion.

Some of the language would be classified as adult, so little ones might be better off at home, but teens should enjoy this slice of our history. “Hair” really is a piece of our national cultural fabric.

Planting completed in Songbird Garden Program is connected to nationwide initiative

IF YOU GO Hudson Gardens and Event Center is at 6115 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. Open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except for early closing on Sundays when concerts are scheduled in summer. Admission is free. 303-797-8565.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com A nationwide Save the Songbirds initiative is designed to save a million songbirds by creating 50,000 acres of habitat for them across the country.

Hudson Gardens in Littleton is a participant. The program was made possible by a grant from Scotts Songbird Selections, a division of Scott’s Miracle Grow, plus contributions from the Audubon Society of Greater Denver, Front Range Birding Company and the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District. In fall 2012, space was set aside for a Songbird Garden in the northwest quarter of Hudson Gardens — past the amphitheater.

Trees were planted, or existing ones were incorporated, and feeders and nest boxes were installed. A planting plan, chosen for food and cover, was published looking ahead to spring 2013, when select perennials would be added. Scientists specializing in botany and ornithology approved plant and feeder choices and future plans for appropriate plantings.

On May 21, Hudson Gardens volunteers planted perennials to fill in the prepared beds.

The garden will be visible from the Monet water gardens as well as the edge of the amphitheater and will offer information that encourages individuals to make home gardens into wildlife sanctuaries. A birdfriendly habitat can be created in any land-

Basic tips for a backyard bird habitat include: • Choose plants for function rather than appearance.

• Plant trees and shrubs that offer heavy fruit production. (Birds especially like red and blue-colored berries.)

• Skip the grass and substitute birdfriendly plants.

• Layer your landscape to emulate a nat-

ural environment.

• Don’t deadhead. Let plants set seed to serve as food.

• Leaf litter is good. Place piles of raked plant material under trees and shrubs to provide cover and insects.

• Go organic. Use non-chemical management methods to tame pests and diseases when possible. Herbicides and pesticides can be ingested by birds if they feed on affected insects or plants.

Plant material in Hudson Gardens’ Songbird Garden includes sunset hyssop, redosier dogwood, hedge cotoneaster, Russian Hawthorne, blanket flower, dotted gayfeather, Arnold’s red honeysuckle, tall Oregon grape holly, Oregon grape holly, bee balm, beardlip penstemon, Austrian pine, narrowleaf cottonwood, Mexican coneflower, golden currant, little bluestem grass and Indian grass.

The Gardens also offer monthly Bird Walks, classes on many aspects of gardening and seasonal special gardens. A mentorship program in beekeeping provides opportunities to learn this popular activity.

‘Duck Dynasty’ rocks The Rock Academy Robertson pair helped raise $60,000 for school

By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com It was a good day at Duck Command central when the “Duck Dynasty” family came to town.

Phil and Willie Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” made an appearance in Castle Rock May 19, to help raise funds for The Rock Christian Academy. Their visit was at the top of the list for the school’s parent-teacher fellowship, which came up with the idea to invite the Duck Commanders to town.

The idea turned into a $60,000 fundraiser, with the proceeds from ticket sales dedicated to a 10,000-squarefoot expansion of the school, improvements on the school’s playground, technology updates in the classrooms and financial assistance to qualifying families, said Michael Brumbaugh, assistant director of the parent-teacher fellowship.

The school intends to use part of the money to provide scholarships to families who can’t afford the $4,700 annual tuition, Brumbaugh said.

One unexpected consequence of the “Duck Dynasty” visit began to

At the time of the announcement, enrollment was 86 students, Brumbaugh said.

The day after the Duck Command-

“There will likely be even more students enrolled before the school year begins,” Brumbaugh said. “That was (our) main goal — to increase enrollment.”

Awards also went to Anna Marie Linning: First Place for “Glory Morning”; to photographer Judy Deist: Second Place for “Escher White”; and Third Place to Rita Bentley for her oil

painting, “Shadow Cat.” Honorable mentions went to Pat Dall, Fred Bikle and Peggy Dietz (two).

Wicks’ website speaks of his interest in both painting and sculpture. He uses a variety of mediums and focuses on a wide range of subjects.

Littleton art lovers will probably remember his watercolors of favorite spots in Europe, which have hung at the Littleton Museum, at the Depot and in statewide Colorado Watercolor Society exhibits and Lone Tree exhibits.

Local golf pro aims for U.S. Open spot Preeo to play in sectional qualifier in California

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Jason Preeo has had to make some inconvenient alterations to his vacation plans.

Preeo, the Highlands Ranch teaching golf professional who works for MetaGolf Academy at Broken Tee at Englewood and the Colorado Golf Club in Parker, is taking his wife and children on a trip to Southern California to visit friends and relatives and go to Disneyland.

However, Preeo will have to modify a few plans since he will be playing June 3 in the 36-hole U.S. Open Sectional qualifying tournament, which will be held at the Newport Beach Country Club and the Grand Canyon Country Club.

“We were going out there so this was all planned,” said Preeo, who is also the head boys golf coach at Valor Christian. “I chose California knowing that I would be out there anyway. It worked out.

“We had to change a day of flights. It sounds funny, it is definitely a little bit of an inconvenience in terms of what we had planned and were trying to do. I won’t be around quite as much trying to arrange practice rounds and things. It is another week of inconveniences but hopefully it will be a good one.”

Preeo carded a three-underpar 68 and survived a playoff in a local U.S. Open qualifying tourney May 13 at Collindale Golf Course in Fort Collins to advance to the California Sectionals. It will be the fifth time in seven years that Preeo, a 2010 Open qualifier, has played in the second phase of

U.S. Open qualifying.

“You really can’t get too far ahead of yourself,” said Preeo.

“You have to get through the first 18 to 27 holes and see where you are at and decide what you have to do from there. In terms of performance, it always helps to putt well. That will keep you in and give you opportunities.

“I don’t know if it’s about mentally preparing for it. I think about it a little bit. Some of it is, with any of these stages, you don’t have to play as well as you think you do.

You just have to play solid. The previous experiences of being in that environment and seeing the scores that will ultimately get you through, it’s good golf but it’s not great golf.

“The prize is so much greater in these events, it is easier to get ahead of yourself,” continued Preeo. “Even to win a local tournament around here, it’s neat to do but it’s not quite the same as playing well and getting yourself into the U.S. Open.”

Preeo hasn’t had time much time to polish his game. He played only two rounds of golf prior to the Collindale tournament and has spent more time teaching than playing in preparation for his “vacation” golf outing.

“I wouldn’t compare it to riding a bike but it’s similar in that fashion,” he said.

“I’ve hit it in the trees enough that I’m comfortable having to hit a shot around them, left or right or whatever I need to do. So even though I haven’t played in a while, it’s something that comes back to you.

“You might not be quite as sharp but you still have a fighting chance. I’m hoping to just get practice rounds at both places. I think I can accomplish that but I don’t think I have much time for more than that. As long as I’m familiar and have a plan for both

Jason Preeo is shown at work at Broken Tee at Englewood Golf Course. Photo by Jim Benton courses, I’ll be as prepared as I can be.”

There will be 13 Sectional qualifying tournaments to help determine the field for the June 13-16 U.S. Open that will be played at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa. Preeo, a 34-year-old who stopped playing mini tour events six years ago, is hoping to qualify so he can wipe out the lingering

bad flavor of playing in the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.

He fired a first-round 75 and followed with a one-under-par 70 to make the cut and tie for 16th place at the halfway point of the championship. His final two rounds were 82 and 84 and he wound up 82nd.

“Under par on Friday was pretty neat and making the cut,” said

Preeo. “But such a poor performance over the weekend, getting tired and frustrated and everything else, there was a sour taste left in my mouth at the end of the week.

“So it would be real nice having another opportunity to get out there and replace that. I just have to go out there and play well for one day.”

Scorecard error proves costly for Valor Christian Class 4A state golf tournament was held at Broken Tee at Englewood

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Valor Christian golf coach Scotty Hofer stepped up to point out a scoring mistake, but wouldn’t back down in claiming the Eagles girls still could have won the Class 4A girls state golf championship despite the error.

However, Valor didn’t overcome the disqualification of one of its players, and wound up finishing second in the tournament May 21 at Broken Tee at Englewood Golf Course.

The Eagles finished with a 36-hole total of 497 strokes, two shots behind champion Cheyenne Mountain.

“We were down five going into the final round and if we would have gone out, played and performed, we could have won,” said Hofer. “ We didn’t overcome it.

Second place is never bad but if you go out and perform like you are capable, you win.

“If you don’t perform the way you are capable of, you get beat. It happens in all sports. Look at the Broncos. They were pretty sick after their playoff loss. Everybody on our team has to look in the mirror. We lost six strokes to par on the last four holes. We just have to go work harder and not let it happen again.”

Valor’s Laura Cohen was disqualified after the first round for signing an incorrect scorecard.

Cohen turned in an opening-day 86, which should have been an 87 because she

didn’t count a penalty stroke on No. 18. Cohen said she and the girl keeping her score agreed on the score.

Hofer told tournament officials about the mistake, which ended up costing the Eagles the title. Cohen was ineligible to compete for the individual title and her first-day 86 could not be included in the Eagles’ opening-round team total. Sarah Belmear’s 95 was instead included in Valor scoring, which cost the Eagles nine strokes.

Only top three scores of each team are included when compiling team scores. Cohen could have helped the Eagles on the final day, but she had an 87 and Belmear finished with an 85.

“I was with her the entire hole, and I don’t know if the other coaches did either but I didn’t check her scorecard,” said Hofer.

“I came back and saw the score posted and I knew it was wrong. Nobody would have known it was not right. It made a difference in the championship.”

Colorado Women’s Golf Association executive director Robin Jervey made the ruling to disqualify Cohen after hearing the explanations.

“She (Cohen) came back and reported that she had a nine instead of an eight on the last hole,” explained Jervey. “Once the players leave the scoring area, they’re held accountable to whatever they had on their card at the point. Unfortunately, it didn’t come to light until after she left the scoring area, and when you sign a card with a score lower than what you actually had, it’s a disqualification.”

Valor senior Tori Glenn, the first-round leader with a two-over-par 74, struggled over the final round and finished with a 79 for a 153, which tied for fourth place in the

Valor Christian’s Tori Glenn sends her drive down the fairway May 20 during the first round of the Class 4A state girls golf tournament. The two-day tournament, won by Cheyenne Mountain, was played at the Broken Tee at Englewood Golf Course. Photo by Tom Munds individual standings.

Glenn, a gymnast who took up golf two years ago after breaking her leg and will be going to the University of Colorado to play golf, was four over par after the first six holes in the final round and dropped out of contention to capture medalist honors.

“Her swing was a little off,” said Hofer. “A lot of it was just the pressure of the situation, not having been there before. People don’t realize the pressure until you are in that a few different times, and then you know how to handle it.”

Glenn admits she was never comfortable on the last day of the tournament.

“That was my worst round of the season, which was kind of unfortunate,” she said.

“I just wasn’t feeling it and you are going to have those days. It’s not always going to be right on. It was a little bit of everything.

“I don’t know, I guess I let the pressure get to me in some ways. I’m going to CU next year and this was just the first of many tournaments.”

Class of ’13 not unlucky after all Photos by Deborah GriGsby The number 13 has long been thought to be unlucky, but ask any of Cherry Creek’s graduating seniors this year and they’ll tell you it’s not so bad after all. This is the class that, among other things, survived the Mayan Apocalypse. On May 22, the Class of 2013 entered Stutler Bowl for the last time as the school’s 58th annual commencement exercises got underway. More than 800 graduates received their diplomas from Creek and garnered a record amount in scholarships. Principal Ryan Silva gave the presentation address, congratulating the first class to have spent all four years with him at the school’s helm.

Cherry Creek High School senior Tristan Bailey Scroggins performs “The Grand Sugar Medley” on the mandolin. Scroggins arranged the piece for the school’s 58th annual commencement exercises, held May 22 at the Stutler Bowl.
