City staff urges denial of project Planners delay vote on Broadstone apartments at developer’s request

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com A frustrated developer met with a mostly hostile crowd May 16 in an attempt to defend his project, just two days after city staff declared it unworkable.

Andy Clay of Alliance Residential Company told residents gathered at Buck Recreation Center that after hearing over and over the proposed Broadstone at Littleton Station apartment complex is just too big for the old sheriff’s building site, the company scaled it back from 325 units to 270.

But the proposal still calls for a six-story project on the top of a hill overlooking downtown, and some fear it would dwarf the iconic Littleton Courthouse immediately north of the site.

“Staff finds the proposal to change the

existing commercial zoning to allow only residential land uses at the proposed scale is in conflict with many of the goals of the (comprehensive plan),” writes Jan Dickinson, principal planner with the city, in her memo to the planning board. “Furthermore, the intensity and scale of the project is in direct conflict with the adopted design guidelines for the area. Therefore, staff is recommending denial of the request.”

Current zoning requires a mix of commercial and residential uses on the property, but Alliance wants it rezoned to be

strictly residential. The planning board postponed a planned May 13 vote on the matter until June 24, at Clay’s request. He wanted more time to revise the plan.

A man in the audience became so incensed at the postponement that police were called to escort him out of the building. Board member Mark Rudnicki requested police presence at all future meetings regarding Broadstone.

Abuse survivor shares her triumph Littleton church employee reaches out through song

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Keri Thomas, singer and pianist, has come full circle through music and faith, and she is now hoping to help others do the same. But there was a time when Thomas never wanted to perform again.

“It was something forced on me that was part of the abuse I went through,” she said.

Throughout her childhood, Thomas suffered physically, sexually and emotionally at the hands of her father, a popular local jazz musician in Florida. Once she escaped to college, she stopped performing.

“It was just too much,” she said.

Until she met another woman who’d had similar experiences, and who finally talked Thomas into visiting her church.

“The spirit came over me and I gave my life to Christ, and now everything is completely different,” she said.

With that new motivation, she founded Scarfone Productions Inc. in Florida in 2009 to support victims of childhood sexual abuse. She offered musical theater summer camps for children, along with theatrical Survivor continues on Page 6

Tensions in Littleton Fire Rescue have come to a head, with the Littleton Firefighters Association passing a vote of no confidence in Chief John Mullin.

“Once a proud and well-regarded emergency services provider, we have watched with dismay and disappointment as Littleton has been passed up by other metro fire departments,” they write in an April 16 letter to City Manager Michael Penny. “It pains us to see how far we have fallen under the leadership of John Mullin.”

Mullin In particular, the association wants a strategic plan for the department.

“When asked over the years to articulate a strategic plan, we have always been met with silence, puzzled looks or at best a response of ‘status quo,’ ” they write.

Penny says Mullin has developed an action plan to immediately improve communications with his employees regarding concerns and decision-making.

“Littleton Fire Rescue is a proud and well-regarded fire service agency with dedicated and talented employees,” said Penny.

“I appreciate our association members sharing their concerns with me regarding communication and strategic planning.”

The department has had its share of controversy in recent years. Response times and insurance rates are poor in Trailmark, though an intergovernmental agreement was recently reached with West Metro Fire for coverage there. There’s also been conflict between LFR and its partners — Highlands Ranch Metro Districts and Littleton Fire Protection District — that led some to wonder if the partnership would be renewed in 2012.

A recent study recommends an eventual Chief continues on Page 6

Memorial Day ceremonies scheduled Observances set for Littleton, Fort Logan

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Three Memorial Day ceremonies, held as formal tributes to fallen veterans, will be held May 27, two of them in Littleton and one at Fort Logan National Cemetery.

The tradition that established the Memorial Day events state that it is “to honor all veterans laid to rest in this sacred national cemetery, to all the prisoners of war and those missing in action who never returned, to all who have served and those who, even now, guard the gates of freedom worldwide.”

The first ceremony of the day starts at 8 a.m. in the Veterans’ Circle located in the Littleton Cemetery at 6155 S. Prince St. A second, mirror-image service will be held at 10 a.m. at the Littleton World War II Memorial in Ketring Park, 6000 S. Gallup St. At 11 a.m. there will be a ceremony near the lake at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 3698 S. Sheridan Blvd.

Both ceremonies in Littleton, sponsored by the Pat Hannon Post Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and the George C. Evans American Legion Post 103, follow the same program with the El Jebel Pipe Band play-

Small American flags, placed by volunteers, stand by each headstone as part of the Memorial Day ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery. This year’s ceremony will be at 11 a.m. May 27. File photo ing “Amazing Grace” and the All Veterans Honor Guard firing the traditional 21-gun salute.

The ceremonies will include reading of the poem “In Flanders Field” and the poem “My Plea” written by Marine Lance Cpl. Pat-

rick Hannon, the first Littleton resident to die in the Vietnam War. There will also be a reading of a poem written by Navy SEAL Danny Dietz.

At 11 a.m., Fort Logan National Cemetery will hold its annual Memorial Day ob-

servance that is sponsored by the Associated Veterans of Colorado. Featured speakers include Arthur Smith of the National Cemetery Administration and keynote speaker will be Col. Daniel Bant, commander of 460 Space Wing at Buckley Air Force Base.

A group representing the Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary, the American Legion Auxiliary, the Retired Enlisted Association Auxiliary and the Gold Star Wives will place a ceremonial wreath at a symbolic grave marker, the honor guard will raise their rifles, fire the 21-gun salute and the bugle will play “Taps,” sending the echo across the rows and rows of gleaming white markers standing in arrow-straight rows.

In case the weather is bad, the services will be held at Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644 at 2680 W. Hampden Ave. in Sheridan.

After the Fort Logan ceremonies, VFW Post 9644 and its Ladies Auxiliary will host a luncheon at the facility that is two blocks east of Federal on Hampden Avenue.

Preparations for the ceremonies at Fort Logan begin May 25 when volunteers, most of them young people from a variety of Scouting organizations, place a small American flag adjacent to each of the more than 54,000 headstones at the national cemetery.

The same day, flags will be placed on the graves of veterans buried at the Littleton Cemetery.

Fort Hannah Brown, 21, and Erica eers, Emmelhainz both work at Alamo riety Drafthouse. For Emmelhainz, the mall fire was a terrible birthday surmore prise; it was her 23rd. ional “If Hannah hadn’t wanted to take me out for a birthday lunch, n the we would have been here,” she eton said through tears.

Emmelhainz said the hardest part was seeing everything they’d worked for charred beyond recog-

nition.

“A lot of people our age still live with their parents,” she said.

“We’ve gone through college, and we were paying our own rent. It just really sucks to feel like you

worked toward something and felt independent, then just have it taken away.”

All three thanked Littleton Fire Rescue for their hard work, and for cutting them a check for fresh clothes and other necessities from the burn-relief fund. They all said they have family in the area to stay with. The cause of the fire is being investigated.

Neighbor Steven Schlenker was attending a training session for his new job at The Tavern.

He saw the smoke and heard the sirens from the establishment’s upstairs patio.

“I thought, ‘Oh my God, that’s right where my house is,’” he said, and he rushed home to find the flames dangerously close but being staved off by firefighters.

“The flames didn’t really get above the house, it mostly just busted out the windows and stuff,” said witness Brady Schroder. “The fire was coming out all the windows, and next thing you know, the roof was on fire.”

According to the Arapahoe County assessor’s website, the home is owned by Rapport Holdings LLC in Highlands Ranch.

John Dick is a principal in the company, but a call to his phone went unanswered.

The building was recently valued at $122,000.

Council resurrects talk of museum fees Director recommends sticking with status quo

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Tim Nimz, director of the Littleton Museum, admits he failed to carry out his assigned mission.

“At a January study session, council told me to look at the admission policy and come back to you with the one that raises a lot of money but doesn’t annoy anybody,” he told Littleton City Council during the May 14 study session.

Not happening, he said.

“My recommendation is that you do not impose admission fees at all,” he said.

But he set forth six possible fee structures that would raise between $7,470 and

$157,250 a year. The low end would charge all adults $1 and let kids in free. The high end would cost adults $5 and seniors $4; Friends of the Library and Museum members and children younger than 6 would be free.

Other scenarios consider only charging those who are not residents of the city, or letting in kids younger than 12 for free.

“The greatest community push-back will occur if Littleton residents are required to pay admission fees,” writes Nimz in his memo to council.

“However, as attendance currently is composed, it is impossible to achieve a revenue stream of $100,000 if residents are exempted.”

The museum averages about 132,000 visitors a year, with up to 65 percent of visits

by Littleton residents. About 53,000 of the total are children.

Nimz warns that imposing admission fee on the museum — which has always been free — could result in a reduction in attendance of up to half, and cut revenues by as much as $60,000, in the first few years.

It would also require hiring two part-time receptionists, a role which has historically been filled by volunteers.

Nimz said most of them have expressed discomfort at continuing if they’re required to collect money.

“But if the museum can’t sustain it, they’re all going to lose jobs,” said Councilor Jerry Valdes.

“The city is paying for the 35 percent who don’t live here. … At some point, it’s either going to happen or we’re going to have to close the doors.”

Councilor Jim Taylor disagrees.

“We’re not in crisis, and I think this is going to create a lot more aggravation than it

would be worth,” he said.

Most everyone agreed that they don’t want to charge admission but should explore alternate funding methods - charging for special events or renting the facility for private parties, for example.

Councilor Bruce Beckman said it must become more cost-effective.

“We’re getting awful close, and we’re kicking the can down the road, but this is part of the legacy we’ve created for Littleton,” he said.

The museum costs the city about $1.3 million of its nearly $49 million general fund.

Councilor Phil Cernanec noted that there’s been concern about whether, because of its Smithsonian affiliation, the museum is allowed to charge admission.

Nimz said it can, it just can’t charge extra for Smithsonian exhibits.

City settles suit filed by former police employee Crime analyst lost job in 2010

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The city has settled a lawsuit filed by its former crime analyst, Sheree Matousek, by paying her $90,000.

“This settlement is a compromise of disputed claims,” reads the agreement, which the Littleton Independent obtained via an open-records request. “No party admits any liability to the other party.”

Matousek filed a civil suit against the city last September, alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act and her civil rights. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1996, which causes her to tire in the afternoons. She was allowed to adjust her schedule accordingly until July 2009, three months after she filed an internal grievance against her supervisor, Bill Christensen, who was a police commander at the time.

The human-resources department didn’t uphold the grievance, which alleged harassment and hostile work environment.

But, it noted: “It was found that Commander Christensen does at times interact with co-workers, including Ms. Matousek, in a demeaning, rude, condescending or unprofessional manner. … Such behaviors have been found to violate city policies, and an action plan has been put in place to address these performance issues.”

Matousek maintains she was subjected to retaliation for filing the grievance. In addition to being ordered to work regular business hours, she says she faced constant

surveillance, frequent criticism and increased scrutiny. She ultimately filed three complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission between September 2009 and November 2010.

The department replaced her job with a website in September 2010, and her last day was Oct. 8 of that year. Coogan gave Matousek two weeks’ notice, despite the fact that her job was budgeted through the end of that year.

The settlement requires Matousek not to discuss the settlement, restricting her to just saying, “We agreed to settle the case.”

But last July, she issued this statement: “I grieve the loss of my job not only because of the financial stability, but because of the love I had for the city of Littleton. I had the privilege of working with many of the merchants, schools, citizens and other community entities. I never got the chance to tell them thank you, and that it was an honor to serve in my capacity as an analyst.

I miss that so much.”

Matousek has worked some temporary jobs since leaving, but her fibromyalgia is worsening. She won’t reach retirement age until 2016, so she’s applied for disability.

Coogan, Christensen and Bill Brandt, a division chief, all retired in April under a new policy that allowed any sworn officer age 57 and older to do so, while the city will continue their health care until they turn 65.

Coogan started her own consulting company, True to Course LLC, specializing in management, investigations and human relations.

Hazmat team responds to Littleton Center scare Woman finds white powder in FedEx package

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Tests on a suspicious white powder a woman brought to the Littleton Police Department on the afternoon of May 14 were inconclusive as to what it was, according to Cmdr. Trent Cooper, but a press release the city issued later in the afternoon said it was benign.

A woman police describe as a private citizen received a FedEx envelope from an address in Indiana that was not familiar to her. When she opened it, she noticed the white powder.

“She obviously was concerned about that,” said Cooper. He said the woman had no idea who might want to harm her.

“To her, it seemed totally random,” said Cooper.

She took it to the department, which is located in the Littleton Center, 2255 W. Berry Ave. The city’s entire administrative staff works there, and it’s where city council and

most of the boards and commissions meet.

“We immediately sealed it up, removed it from the building and called the fire department,” said Cooper. Littleton Fire Rescue and the South Metro Fire District hazmat unit responded.

The building was not evacuated, but the woman was decontaminated as a precaution, said Cooper.

LPD turned the case over to the FBI. An agent on scene said he couldn’t comment, but the press release says the FBI took the substance for further identification.

Cooper says the best thing to do in such a situation would be to leave the package where it is, evacuate the immediate area and call the police or the fire department.

“Transporting the substance, if it turns out to be harmful, will just spread it around and potentially contaminate other people and a larger area,” he said.

“Had this turned out to be a seriously harmful substance, we would now have a situation where not only the person’s residence would need to be secured and decontaminated, but her car, the city building and anyone else who may have come into contact with it.”

Run is memorial for late officer Event will benefit state fallen officers fund

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Organizers seek runners, walkers, volunteers and vendors to take part in the Jan. 8 Jeremy Bitner Memorial Event to raise money for the state fallen officer fund.

“A lot of people thought a memorial for Englewood Detective Jeremy Bitner would be a good idea,” said Englewood Police Officer Chad Read, one of the organizers.

“A group of police officers, firefighters and members of the Burg Simpson Law Firm agreed and began organizing the event. The goal is to remember Jeremy with a fun day for all those Bitner who attend.”

He said there was discussion to raise funds for the Bitner family, but the family requested the funds be used to help other families of fallen Colorado law enforcement officers.

Read stressed he was just one of the members of the team that organized the event, with plans to make it an annual fundraiser for the fallen officers fund.

The event is planned as a memorial to Bitner, who died May 28, 2012, when he was hit by a car while making a traffic stop.

Bitner had been with the Englewood Police Department for eight years. He was a patrol officer, member of the SWAT team and served as a training officer for new members of the department. He is survived by his wife and two children.

‘The goal is to remember Jeremy with a fun day for all those who attend.’

Chad Read, Englewood police officer About 100 participants have signed up to take part in the June 8 activities that include a 5- and a 10-kilometer run, a 5-kilometer walk and a children’s fun walk. The start and finish line for the events will be at Cornerstone Park, at the corner of West Belleview Avenue and South Windermere Street.

The courses will wind through the park along the Big Dry Creek Trail and Mary Carter Greenway. It will be a certified course for those who need to record times on a measured course.

Registration begins at 7 a.m. on race day and the 5- and 10-kilometer races will start at 8 a.m. The 5-kilometer walk begins at 8:05. Awards ceremonies and prize drawings are scheduled at 1o a.m. For more information or to sign up for the event, go to www.bitnermemorialfund.org.

Once the run and walks are completed vendors will open and activities for children like face painting and inflated bounce castles will open. Fire and police vehicles will be on display.

Embezzling suspect appeared genuine Former treasurer ‘betrayed trust,’ says Army chaplain

By Deborah Grigsby

ture of the 34-year-old Arizona native who wanted to remain the organization’s treasurer beyond her unpaid three-year appointment.

“She had offered to stay several times,” said Meverden. “But we explained to her the appointment was for three years, and she’d have to step down.”

Affidavits claim Oppenheim deleted financial records from 2009 to 2010, and became evasive when asked to provide records for reconciliation.

On Feb. 10, 2012, a month after her term ended, CNGF board members contacted the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office to investigate what looked like a case of embezzlement.

When asked about the missing funds, court documents state Oppenheim told investigators the payments to her were reimbursements for “stuff” she had paid for herself, and she would have to see the records to be sure.

Oppenheim was asked to come by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office and view the records, but called back saying she could not make the appointment, that she didn’t understand what was going on and it was “her money that went into the accounts and her money that went out.”

Attempts to contact Oppenheim were unsuccessful.

Meverden said the incident has been an expensive learning experience.

“It just goes to show you that small nonprofits and small businesses can be very, very vulnerable and that even with limited resources, you’ve got to have those checks and balances in place.”

Described as outgoing and friendly, Ruthann Oppenheim really wanted to help soldiers, said Andrew Meverden, an Army chaplain and chairman of the Colorado National Guard Foundation.

“She came recommended to us from another organization and seemed to have a genuine interest in military families,” he said. “She was enthusiastic and, at the time, seemed like a good fit.”

But what followed during her three-year appointment as treasurer of one of the state’s largest military Oppenheim charities would leave a string of unanswered questions that would take more than a year to meet. answer. ved it “It’s really a case of trust betrayed,” said part- Meverden with a sigh. “And I think that’s scue probably the hardest thing for us to deal zmat with.”

Oppenheim is charged with felony theft of close to $350,000 from the CNGF and the t the cau- Military Family Relief Fund. She is accused of using the money, meant to help families I. An of deployed military personnel, to make ment, personal purchases and pay credit card k the bills.

“My past does not define me, my past is for helping others,” she said. “But it’s not who I am. I am a daughter of Christ, and it’s my job to fulfill his calling for me.”

That call led her to Colorado, where she landed a job as the worship director at South Suburban Christian Church in Littleton. With a newfound mission and passion for performing, she formed the 14-member contemporary Christian rock band Three in One. “I never really knew what music meant emotionally until I knew what it was for,” she said. “So now what was part of my

The Bobby G. Awards, sponsored by the Denver Center for Performing Arts and known as “The Tony Awards for High School Musicals,” is in its first year in Denver. Arapahoe, Heritage and Littleton High were all recognized. Littleon’s “Legally Blonde” earned 10 nominations, Heritage’s “Once Upon a Mattress” earned two and Arapahoe’s “Brigadoon” earned three.

LHS is one of five schools to be recognized in the category of “Outstanding Production Overall” and will perform at the awards ceremony May 30 in the Seawell Grand Ballroom at DCPA.

Katie Christie, a fifth-grade teacher at Runyon Elementary, and Chris Moore, a fifth-grade teacher at East Elementary, have been selected for the 2013 LearnZillion Dream Team. LearnZillion is a national community of teachers dedicated to highquality instruction of state standards.

Members receive extensive training in San Francisco at the TeachFest conference, based around the “hack fest” model popularized by computer programmers who spend weekends coding and trading tips.

Christie and Moore joined exemplary educators chosen based on their understanding of the standards and their ability to create high-quality lessons that are easily understood by students. They gained training and technology necessary to translate their classroom expertise into screencasts, a sophisticated but simple use of the computer screen for teaching.

But the association’s membership isn’t so sure.

“The fact that he has failed to deliver a strategic plan might be palatable if he were competent at orchestrating his routine responsibilities and the predictable minutia that is part and parcel to running a modern fire department,” they write. “Unfortunately, we can’t even rely on this.”

They say policy is implemented and withdrawn with little or no thought behind it, training is lacking and disorganized and capital resource management is dismal.

“Our emergency operations have become disjointed, dysfunctional, and even unsafe at times,” they write. “In short our customers deserve better and so do we.

None of the issues mentioned in the previous paragraph are dependent upon increased funding of our fire department, an important topic for another day. The issues of which we write are budget neutral and can be dealt with immediately. We wish to be clear. We have no confidence that this administration possesses either the skill set or ability to meet LFR’s immediate or longterm challenges.”

The group has been together for two years and recently began bonding through sharing of testimonials.

“Now that we’re at this level of friendship, it’s making our music really flourish,” she said.

The band is hoping to ultimately record an album. For now, it’s reaching out to other churches and will present its first concert, free to the public, at 7 p.m. May 31 at the church, 7275 S. Broadway. Child care will be available for young children younger than 3, and older children are welcome at the show.

“I want people who are lonely, lost or hurting to spend an evening feeling like they finally fit in through music and God’s unconditional love,” Thomas said. “If one person comes closer to Jesus during this concert, then we will have done what we set out to do.”

WWII veterans visit memorials 29 are guests of Denver nonprofit for D.C. trip

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Twenty-nine World War II veterans from communities along the Front Range, representing every branch of the military service, used words like “amazing,” “memorable” and “emotional” to describe their Rocky Mountain Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C. “This was a very special trip for me. It was very memorable,” Littleton resident Frank Epperson, who flew with the famous Flying Tigers in China, said of the May 2-4 trip. “I appreciate all the honor flight did to make this a special trip for those of us who served in World War II. I was humbled and honored when people I have never met come up to thank me for my service. This is a trip I will not forget.”

Rocky Mountain Honor Flight, a Denver-based nonprofit, gives World War II veterans the opportunity to visit the national World War II Memorial in Washington.

The volunteers of Rocky Mountain Honor Flight did all they could to make this a very special trip for the guests of honor. Active-duty military personnel met the veterans at the airport and helped them with their baggage.

Then, people in the airport and on the plane applauded when the presence of World War II veterans was announced.

The flight landed at Baltimore and a fire truck shot an arc of water over the plane, there were flagwaving volunteers as the group got off the plane and a brass band greeted them at baggage claim.

Englewood resident Sel Hewitt, a radio operator on a B-29 in the Pacific during the war, said the trip was fantastic and was a neverto-be-forgotten experience.

“I think every veteran appreciated every minute of that trip,” he said.

“Everything was special, the places we visited and the contacts we had with people of all ages who were interested in what we had done and what we were doing.”

World War II veterans Greg Lawrence of Littleton, left, and Marv Olsen of Denver look at names on the Vietnam Memorial. The men were part of a May 2-4 honor flight to Washington, D.C. Photos by Tom Munds Brown, an Army veteran, agreed.

“This trip was pretty unique, as were the greetings and bands and the other special things that were done for our visit,” Brown said.

“We were greeted and treated very well. I was in an armored unit that took part in the invasion of Germany. It was very important to me to talk to people who had similar experiences.”

Planners kept the veterans busy.

Among other activities, they visited the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam and Korean memorials, and watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery.

Some activities just happened.

For example, the Dothan (Ala.) High School band was at the World War II Memorial during the

honor flight visit and they performed a special concert for the veterans.

Numerous student groups were at the World War II Memorial, and Chase Burrows, a student at a Sumter, S.C., middle school, spent quite a bit of time talking to the veterans.

“This is special to me. My greatgrandfather died in World War II, when his plane was shot down. I have read about the war and we studied it in school but talking to these men means a lot more than reading and studying.”

He said he talked to Dick Olson about his experience in a submarine, to Dick Frank about his experience as a Marine and Littleton resident Hos Varner about how he joined the Coast Guard and was assigned to crews bringing ships back from the Philippines.

“I really thank these men for what they did,” Burrows said.

“They are really heroes in my eyes.”

On the flight back to Denver, the veterans had a surprise with a special “mail call” as each man received an envelope with 20 to 25 letters from family, friends and, more often, from people they had never met thanking them for their service.

“This is a surprise and it is tremendous,” Vic Olson said as he read the letters.

“I truly appreciate the letters and the sentiments they expressed. It is moving and very, very special.”

The finale came when the veterans arrived at Denver International Airport, where they were met by a cheering, applauding crowd of about 200 friends, family,

• 16.1 million served in the military • 400,000 died in combat • 1.6 million were wounded • 1 million veterans are still alive • 800 to 1,000 pass away daily

Once again, the hard work and detailed planning by about 25 Rocky Mountain Honor Flight volunteers resulted in a successful three-day trip to Washington, D.C., this time for 29 World War II veterans.

“Rocky Mountain Honor Flight was created to take World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., for a time of remembrance, and celebration of their service and sacrifice,” said Mary Denise Haddon, group president. “All the cost of the trip is covered for our veterans.”

Donations from individuals and organizations pay the cost of airfare, hotel rooms, meals and ground transportation. The cost is about $800 to $1,000 per veteran. The volunteers who accompany the vets pay their own expenses.

The costs include providing a World War II veteran cap, a shirt, a backpack and a name tag to each veteran. The veterans wear red shirts. The volunteers wear blue shirts and hats.

The most recent trip, May 2-4, was the 17th time Rocky Mountain Honor Flight has arranged a trip for World War II veterans who live in the Front Range area.

“I went on the first Rocky Mountain Honor Flight trip and I was hooked,” Haddon said. “Our list of volunteers and donors has grown, so we were able to continue to make flights. We try to do about four flights a year and, so far, we have been able to take about 500 veterans on our trips.”

The honor flight program was created in 2005 in Springfield, Ohio. Rocky Mountain Honor Flight was established in 2007 and the first veterans’ trip was the next year. The local organization is one of 105 hub flights working to take World War II veterans to Washington, D.C. “I believe all the honor flights are working to make as many trips as possible because our World War II veterans are aging and hundreds pass away each day,” she said.

Rocky Mountain Honor Flight is a nonprofit organization. For more information about the organization and the flights, visit the website at www.rockymountainhonorflight.org.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

As tassels turn, students punch their tickets The book “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” by Dr. Seuss is often gift-wrapped by wellwishers and then unwrapped by graduates.

The title is suitably upbeat for a celebration. After all, the line that follows “Oh, the places you’ll go!” is “There is fun to be done.” Later the story reads, “KID YOU’LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!” We appreciate the spirit of the season.

Graduation commencements are so fun, and the rows of students all look so brilliant.

“You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed. You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead,” the book assures us.

But we take a moment to pause and remind the graduates — younger students take note — that the book also states, “You will come to a place where the streets are not marked,” and “When you are alone, there’s a very good chance you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.”

So students of all ages, tighten your

OUR VIEW belts and prepare well.

About 40 percent of Colorado’s high school class of 2011 needed remedial courses, although down from 41 percent the year before. And at four-year-level schools in the state, the retention rate for students not assigned to remediation was 79 percent, compared with 60 percent for those needing remediation.

That’s not good, and it costs money — a lot of money.

The estimated cost associated with remedial courses was about $58 million in 2011-12, with the state’s share at $19 million, according to the Colorado Department of Higher Education 2012 Legislative Report on Remedial Education executive summary.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

What movie do you most want to see?

Colorado Community Media visited Reinke Bros. in downtown Littleton and Hollywood Theaters at the Streets at South-

glenn recently to ask people what movie they’re most looking forward to seeing this summer and why.

“ ‘The Great Gatsby.’ I think it’s a good role for Leonardo DiCaprio, because he seems like him already.”

— Amy Taylor, Great Barrington, Mass.

“ ‘The Hangover 3,’ because it resembles my life. I’ve got to be happy, and I’ve got to do what I can to get by.”

— Scotty Buchanan, Centennial

“ ‘Star Trek Into Darkness.’ I saw the first one, and I really liked it. And somebody said they characterize Spock and Kirk without caricaturizing them.” — Jan Taylor, Littleton

“ ‘Star Trek Into Darkness.’

I just think they’ve done a great job, and they’re doing a prequel, and they’re bringing back the original characters but with new faces. And it’s family-friendly.”

— Greg Reinke, Littleton

‘Go time’ is time to get up and go This week there were a couple of quotes or sayings that for whatever reason I had heard repeatedly. The first one was, “If it were easy everyone would be doing it.”

And the second saying was, “Good things come to those who wait, but not for those who wait too late.”

I saw these words of encouragement in emails, and one was highlighted in a book that a friend had sent me. Other friends and associates used them on different calls and meetings. Coincidence — or am I being sent a message?

The timing could not be better as I have been putting off some major decisions, projects, and goals. There has been so much going on that the excuses seemed easier than the activity required to get things accomplished.

It’s go time. Time to get after things, time to stop daydreaming and getting lost in aimless thoughts and trying to come up with one more creative excuse. It’s go time.

Is it “go time” for you?

You see, I know where the starting line is, I know how to get myself fired up and ready for action. I am also typically selfmotivated and the coach or motivator for others. I know how to do this and what to do. But maybe like many of you reading this, I temporarily lost my inspiration or drive. I have allowed self-prescribed downtime to start becoming a habit instead of a respite.

It’s “go time!”

The term has been used in locker rooms by coaches before a big game. It has been used by boxing managers prior to walk-

ing into the ring for a big fight. Businessmen and women have said the words, “It’s go time,” just before entering a meeting.

And for those of you like me who have found themselves bordering on a rut or prolonged procrastination, we say it to ourselves as we wake up and take that first look in the mirror. “It’s go time!”

I may not be an expert on this, but what I do know is that it just takes a little inertia to spark momentum. And once we have just a little momentum we start to gain traction. As we dig in and allow our traction to turn into accelerated purpose, we find ourselves back on the path to success.

“It’s go time!”

Is there something waiting for you to start? Or are you waiting for something to start? Either way I would love to hear all about your “go time” at gotonorton@gmail. com, because when you get back into it and after it, whatever “it” is, this will be a better than good week.

have graduated from high school they have already gone a lot of “places” — academically — compared with other countries, such as China, where electives are fewer and core skills are stronger.

The world doesn’t wait for everyone to be road ready or then provide a smooth ride. So to the students who have a good idea of a place they want to go, we encourage them to follow their ambitions without reservation.

To the rest, don’t be swayed by the notion that there is this vast amusement park of career fields to sample after high school before committing.

Instead consider making a choice with 4G speed, and don’t back away from your instincts by the idea that you might not want to stay in that chosen field for a lifetime.

The somewhat questionable general statistic that the average American will experience seven careers in a lifetime can be comforting or disturbing — depending on your point of view. We say ignore it, dig

into a direction and dig in.

Do your best to see that your courses are accountable to provide the training for the needed skill sets and the knowledge to understand the changing world. Learn as much as you can, and be competitive in earning door-opening good grades.

So that’s our skinny to students on their journeys.

And a final thought — in contrast to “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” which has the words “you” or “your” more than 100 times — the future can be less self-centric and involve a direction to help someone or to seek an important answer.

The words of neurologist Viktor Frankl, author of “Man’s Search of Meaning,” sometimes find their way into some of our favorite commencement speeches.

“Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual,” he wrote.

Oh, the people you can help.

Bumper stickers bore, score You can learn a lot in a traffic jam. You can learn a lot about people when you’re parked on the freeway.

You can find out where someone went to college, or where someone wishes they had gone to college, by their decals. Is it a misdemeanor to pretend you went to USC? I think it should be a misdemeanor to attend USC, but that’s because I went to UCLA. The Trojans are as lowlife as Chinese raccoons.

I saw an “I Like Ike” sticker on a Corvair.

I figured the driver would be a seniorsenior citizen. He wasn’t. It was a kid who was playing drums, or pretending to. I’m sure he was listening to The Who. The illegitimate son of Keith Moon.

We like to use our cars to preach to many choirs. Our car signs reflect strong opinions about the government, specific politicians, the economy, jobs, firearms, immigration and same-sex marriages.

I never see stickers that advocate drain cleaners or Q-tips.

Now and then I see a fish on legs. A Sturgis sticker. You know what that means.

There are also comic bumper stickers.

Bumpers are a good place to show others that humor, wit and satire are much more difficult than most people realize. I have watched a few minutes of Craig Ferguson and I just stare.

Our bumpers enable us to think that we are amusing by acquisition, rather than by fact. You can buy humor, you just can’t do it on your own. That’s why we have laff riot greeting cards. I return all laff riot cards to the senders.

The Independent

“I’m not 40. I’m 18 with 22 years of experience.”

“Have an udderly wonderful birthday.”

The card shows a picture of a cow.

If that made you laugh, please put down this column and go put on an apron.

Here are some of the funniest bumper stickers out there right now. I don’t know who voted. Shecky Greene? Red Buttons?

Blue Moon Odom?

“Hang on to something.”

“Be nice to America or we’ll bring democracy to your country.”

“Fat people are hard to kidnap.”

“Don’t worry what people think. They don’t do it very often.”

“Hang up and drive.” I guess that’s not really meant to be funny, is it? It’s just a hopeless hope of mine. “`Ewe were meant for me,’ the sheepherder said.”

“My child is an honor student.” You knew there would be a backlash.

“My zombie ate your honor student.”

“My Brittany is smarter than your Brittany.”

There’s pith too. “If you’re not angry, Smith continues on Page 9

District attorney reviews big cases s

Here is a summary of the major cases we have prosecuted since Jan. 8 when I took office as your new district attorney.

If you are wondering why we are not es g for updating you on several of the major cases e to in your jurisdiction, it is because we are as prevented from discussing them by pretrial media orders issued by the judges in n each case. heir

Arapahoe County

• On Feb. 22, Conner Donohue pleaded he guilty to the hit-and-run death of Officer mes Jeremy Bitner of the Englewood Police d Department. to On May 28, 2012, Mr. Donohue, while intoxicated, struck Officer Bitner with nkl, his Nissan Pathfinder while Bitner was performing a traffic stop of another driver our on Broadway near Belleview Avenue. That second driver was also injured by Mr. Donohue. o Sentencing is scheduled for May 31, ch occurring within days of the one-year anhe niversary of Officer Bitner’s death. I led the prosecution team in this case.

• A DNA match enabled us to prosecute Daniel Lopez for the murder of Yong Soon Kirk, a 65-year-old widow, in her Aurora home in 2007. Lopez was convicted by a jury on three felony counts: murder in the first degree (after deliberation), murder in the first degree (felony murder) and firstdegree burglary.

The homicide investigation, spearheaded by the Aurora Police Department Major Crime Unit, identified the genetic profile of the suspect early in the investigation.

Detectives and analysts from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation eliminated more than 50 possible suspects over the course

of two years. Detective Miller was notified in February 2009 that Lopez was a possible suspect after Lopez’s DNA was added to the statewide DNA database after a felony drug conviction. DNA, including blood on the victim’s underwear, and palm prints from the crime scene were later directly matched to Lopez.

In reference to Mr. Lopez’s prosecution, I commented: “Justice means trying the most challenging cases that may have been forgotten. This conviction honors the memory of Mrs. Yong Soon Kirk and demonstrates our determination to prosecute cases that may have been left unsolved.”

• Here is a chilling story of domestic violence. DeSean Owens was found guilty of six counts of violence against his former girlfriend. They included assault, kidnapping, menacing and violating a protection order.

The events took place on April 3, 2011, in Aurora. In a series of violent acts against his former girlfriend, Owens pulled the victim out of her apartment at knifepoint, and severed most of her finger when the victim put her hands in front of her face and screamed for help. He forced her into his truck and then drove her to a park where she believed the defendant would kill her.

She secretly dialed 911 and was rescued by the police. Mr. Owens has nine prior felony convictions and faces a potential sentence of from 15-96 years in the Department of Corrections.

• Nathan Dunlap has been sentenced to death for shooting five employees at a Chuck E. Cheese’s in Aurora in 1993. Four of the victims died and he severely injured another. Mr. Dunlap has been scheduled for execution in August. I have issued this statement: “While all murders are tragic, some are truly heinous. Execution should remain a potential sentence for the very most culpable, calculated, and cold-blooded killers.” There has been a request for clemency from Mr. Dunlap’s defense team, which we have vigorously opposed.

Douglas County

• Reese Slade was sentenced to 108 years in the Department of Corrections for assault in the first degree on Douglas County Sheriff Office Deputy Jason Jarrett, Attempted assault in the first degree on another officer and menacing on DCSO Deputy Kevin Nichols. He was also convicted of DUI, possession of methamphetamine and Oxycodone. At a prior hearing, he had been determined to be a habitual offender.

On February 5, 2010, defendant Slade was pulled over pursuant to a REDDI report of a DUI and refused to comply with Deputy Jarrett’s repeated orders to get out of his car. Eventually, when Jarrett tried to pull him out, Slade resisted him and drove off with Deputy Jarrett hanging out of Slade’s car, and crashed into a fence. Then, defendant placed his car in reverse and drove backwards, with Jarrett still hang-

Arapahoe took right path on gas, oil We should all pause for a moment to recognize the effective and collaborative efforts of the Arapahoe County government.

Except in times of crisis, government, citizens and businesses can often be adversarial when trying to solve contentious issues. For the last year and a half, Arapahoe County commissioners have brought together all stakeholders to find a reasonable path for oil and gas development in the county.

Faced with the highly politicized task of creating standards for oil and gas development in Arapahoe County, the county struck a path that while not highly publicized has proven to be the most effective process Colorado has seen thus far. The Board of County Commissioners avoided emotional reactions like moratoriums and instead convened meetings of industry representatives, citizens, experts and the state rule-making authority, the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC).

The result was a unanimously approved memorandum of understanding (MOU) that sets high standards for oil and gas operators beyond the rigorous, comprehensive regulations already in place at the state level.

The MOU that the Arapahoe County Commissioners approved on April 30 is one that ensures our long-term prosperity. It respects private-property rights, encourages economic development, is mindful of the environment and protects our

community’s health.

While other communities implement pre-emptive regulations and even outright bans that ignore the rights of land and mineral owners and their ability to develop their resources, Arapahoe County’s MOU stands as a shining example of what oil and gas development should be in Colorado.

It ensures private property rights, protects our state’s scenic beauty and limits the impact on public health, all while keeping oil and gas development operations economical enough for mineral owners to develop their resources and realize the returns on the investments they have made.

We believe that this agreement will attract new revenue to our county.

Not only will ad valorem and severance taxes go towards our schools, roads, and fire districts, but our communities will grow stronger through the addition of jobs that support the industry. Main street stores will be filled with shoppers.

later this month to tell some of the country’s largest oil and gas companies that Colorado and Arapahoe County are open for business. Should they do business in our state, they will have to adhere to strict environmental and health standards, but due to the efforts of our state and local elected officials and the input of our citizens and business community, we have created a clear and consistent framework of regulations for them to operate under.

Businesses value consistent regulatory environments, and Arapahoe County is leading the way in Colorado to reassure the industry that there will be no surprises and we will not run them out of town.

Our success both today and into the future depends on balance, something we need to see more of as Colorado determines how best to utilize natural resources like oil and gas.

The South Metro Denver Chamber and the more than 1,300 businesses we represent commend Arapahoe County for their efforts to balance the environmental and economic needs of our community.

We congratulate the county for their leadership and we urge other communities to recognize the benefits of working together to find rational solutions to complex and contentious issues.

One of the officers and his K9 were also nearly struck by the car as Slade drove it in reverse. Eventually, the officers were able to place Slade under arrest. In a subsequent search of defendant’s car, they recovered a loaded handgun, a quarterpound of methamphetamine and some Oxycodone. At the time of his arrest, Slade had several prior convictions including: felony possession with intent to distribute a Schedule I controlled substance (from 2006) and felony theft from the elderly (from 1995).

Since these phone apps can be anonymously downloaded by anyone, anywhere, law enforcement can’t identify or catch the offenders. Often the children go onto the sites and pretend to be over 18 and meet with adults, sometimes without considering the potential health hazards of unprotected sexual activity.

Gun deaths take steady toll 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 I-News 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 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 homi-

A graffiti-ridden Neighborhood Watch sign stands at the edge of Census Tract 54:00 in Colorado Springs. This section of southeast Colorado Spring was Colorado’s deadliest neighborhood during the 12 years between the mass shooting tragedies at Columbine and Aurora. 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 cides. 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 12-year 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 commer-

cial 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 Carson-based 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.

“Where there’s poverty, there’s drugs — drugs and 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 totaled $29,055 or less for a family of four.

Wendy Birhanzel, Centennial’s principal, and other educators in the area’s schools have a simple goal: Remove the obstacles between students and success. That means making sure they have backpacks and jackets, or even taking up a collection to help a family pay its utility bill.

It also means monthly events — like “Science Night” or “Movie Night” — aimed at building relationship with families.

And while data shows that the schools are safe places, they can’t escape the neighborhood around them.

This spring, a student’s father was shot to death.

“That is reality,” Birhanzel said. “Homicides and shootings are not just happening to people we don’t know.”

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.

Clay. He continues to say that if his project dies, something much larger with more impact on traffic could replace it. He also stresses that the proposal calls for luxury, high-end apartments designed to attract young professionals and empty-nesters.

“Downtown Littleton is like the original lifestyle center,” said Clay, comparing it to the Streets at SouthGlenn in Centennial. “It’s what all those are modeled after.”

Now, we could argue with that — especially considering that our governor helped put this cow town on the beer map — but national exposure is all good.

Still others have been doing this all along.”

textiles stretch through time Denver Art Museum exhibit will run until end of summer

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “SPUN: Adventures in Textiles,” a campus-wide collection of exhibits at the Denver Art Museum, runs through Sept. 22 and will require more than one visit if one wants to really absorb the vast array of wonderful objects included.

And then there’s the Institute for Figuring’s growing crochet coral reef, which visitors are invited to add to. Preliminary publicity has not addressed crochet much, but whimsical works snake throughout the complex and are delightful to contemplate — look up, as well as to the side. It’s a traveling exhibit called “Hyperbolic Crochet Reef.”

Start with “Cover Story” on the sixth floor of the North (Ponti) Building, since that’s where director Christoph Heinrich started his planning. The museum received gifts from the Andrew F. Mellon Foundation and from the Avenir Foundation to continue transformation and expansion of the textile department to six times its size. In addition to expansion, the endowment will support a full-time textile conservator, Alice Zrebiec, and a fellowship in conservation.

“Cover Story,” in space that had been storage, illustrates the depth of the museum’s collection. It includes elaborate embroidered Asian silks, woven carpets, a French paisley shawl and a contemporary tapestry by Polish artist Stefan Galowski.

The eye leads the visitor to a bright, nearby Thread Studio, with items one can touch and a PreVIEW room where conservators can be observed as they work on large pieces. On Thursdays from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., the doors will be open for those who register in advance. On other days, one can watch through wide windows.

Also in the North Building: “Irresistible: Multicolored Textiles from Asia”; “Common Threads: Portraits by August Sander and Seydou Keita” — a look at what people wore at a moment in time; “Western Duds: How Clothing Helped Create an Arche-

“Walking in Venus Blue Cave” by Ernesto Neto is an installation included in the “Material World” section of SPUN. Courtesy photo type,” Western Art Gallery, level 7; “Fashion Fusion: Native Textiles in Spanish Colonial Art”; “Flash of Red, Glint of Gold: Woven Riches of South America”; “Pattern Play: the Contemporary Designs of Jacqueline Groag” (a British contemporary designer).

Cross the bridge to the Hamilton Building and continue the adventure: On level 2, “Red, White and Bold: Masterworks of Navajo Design, 1840 to 1870” is a stunning display in the steep, angled Martin McCormick Gallery, of rugs featuring the red yarn obtained by unraveling German fabric; “Material World” on level 4 features imaginative works by contemporary artists made with found materials, including yarns and fabrics.

Example, a large wall piece made from deconstructed teddy bears and a painterly Lucas Samaras sewn piece made from textiles; on level 3, “Bruce Price: Works on Paper” is a collection of works by a local artist/ teacher, who includes textiles, especially gingham in his works.

“We are inviting visitors to look at textiles in a new way,” said Nancy Blomberg, curator of native arts at the DAM. “There are many unexpected elements — a photograph, for example — that connect to this medium that will surprise and delight our guests. We want people to tap into their creativity as well and try their hand at weaving, quilting, sewing — anything and everything related to thread.”

A drop-in Quilt Studio on level 1 and collaborative projects with artists and creative groups will be offered every weekend. Participants can design a block for the SPUN Community Quilt.

Also, watch as a Pop-up Dye Garden grows through the summer on the plaza, illustrating plants from the back yard that provide bright dye colors.

Admission to all the sections of SPUN is included in general admission. For information on admission, hours, programs, see denverartmuseum.org or call 720-9130130, or email info@denverartmuseum.org.

The Colorado Freedom Memorial in Aurora is soon to be dedicated to Colorado and the nearly 6,000 Colorado Gold Star Families whose loved ones make up the memorial’s roll call.

Beginning with the Gold Star Concert on May 25, and carrying through to the Home with Honor Dedication on May 26, the Colorado Freedom Memorial will proudly stand in honor of those who gave all in service to their country.

The dedication weekend events that are open to the public include: The Gold Star Concert from 5 to 7 p.m. May 25, celebrating “Heroic Lives” with performances by the 101st Army Band, Face Vocal Band and Mollie Weaver on The Great Lawn at the Aurora Municipal Building, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway.

Tickets are limited and available at www.militaryevents.us/rsvp using event code: CFM. On May 26 at 2 p.m., the dedication will begin with the arrival of the dedication processions at the memorial. The procession will include a horse-drawn caisson, full military honors, representatives from each branch of the military, VIPs and Colorado Gold Star Family representatives.

The dedication ceremony will feature VIP guest speakers, representatives of Colorado’s legislative delegation, honor guard and color posting, a wreath-laying ceremony, bird release and performances by the 101th Army Band.

The dedication ceremony is open to the public, and will be held at the Colorado Freedom Memorial/Springhill Community Park, 756 N. Telluride St., Aurora.

Going for ‘Big Break’

Former University of Colorado AllAmerican women’s golfer Emily Talley is participating on Golf Channel’s reality show “Big Break.” And, after the airing of just one show (May 13), Talley already has seen an elevated level of fame.

“I posted that I was going to be on the show on Facebook and it was the most response I have ever had,” Talley said. “I don’t think I could say I’m getting married and get that much response. But it’s fun, you see how many people love the show, how many people are rooting for you.”

WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT.

WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R

s 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.

Arapahoe defends lacrosse title Win over Cherry Creek gives Warriors second boys 5A championship

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Warrior helmets came off as gloves and sticks sailed into the sky when the final horn sounded ending the Class 5A state boys lacrosse championship game that saw Arapahoe defeat Cherry Creek, 10-7.

“This is the greatest feeling in the world, even better than the feeling when we won our first state title last year,” Warrior senior Michael Babb said after the game.

“We gave it our all and it is a great way to end my high school career.”

The game was a hard-fought battle from the opening faceoff.

Arapahoe’s Tyler Widlund put the Warriors on the board with a goal about half way through the first quarter. Cherry Creek then countered with a pair of firstquarter goals to take the lead and the Bruins outscored Arapahoe 3-1 in the second quarter for a 5-2 halftime lead.

Cherry Creek built their scoring advantage with aggressive play that kept the ball in the Arapahoe end of the field much of the first half.

The Bruins patiently worked the ball around until there was an opening and then pressed the attack, totaling about a dozen shots on goal.

The tempo changed dramatically in the second half as Arapahoe scored three goals in the first six minutes to tie the score. Cherry Creek scored to regain the lead at

‘This is the greatest feeling in the world, even better than the feeling when we won our first state title last year.’

Michael Babb, senior 6-5 with just over five minutes left in the third quarter.

But Arapahoe came storming back and scored four goals in the final four minutes of the quarter to take a 9-6 lead. Each team scored a fourth-quarter goal in the fourth quarter so the final score was 10-7.

“We played a little soft in the first half and weren’t playing as a team,” Arapahoe coach Guy Cerasoli said after the game. “I told the kids we needed to work together instead of standing around watching while one guy attacks the net against six defenders.”

Cerasoli said he knew it would be a tough game because he knew Cherry Creek was a quality, wellcoached team.

“Being behind at halftime helped get everyone fired up, too,” the coach said.

“We have been a second-half team all season. Over and over, we’d dig ourselves a hole early but battle back to win just like we did today.”

He said the defense has been

The Bruins led at halftime but the Warriors won the title, 10-7. a team strength all season. The coach said, in the second half, the defenders moved out further from the goal put pressure on the Bruin with the ball, shut down passing lanes and were able to force turnovers.

Warrior senior Babb said the team knew at halftime they were about to start the final two quarters of lacrosse in the season so

it was time to step it up and push the tempo of the game in order to win the game.

“We gave it our all in that second half,” he said.

“On attack, they pushed the tempo with repeated attacks and that seem to put them back on their heels while our defenders basically closed down their offense.”

Babb was the leading scorer for Arapahoe with three goals and three assists while teammates Kiley O’Connor and Zach Runberg had two goals each. Defensively, Warrior goalie Ryan Smith made six saves.

Cherry Creek spread the scoring around and junior Ryan Arthur was the team scoring leader with two goals and two assists.

Bruins, Warriors girls are one-two in track Depth a key element for both teams at state Class 5A meet

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Cherry Creek and Arapahoe finished one-two respectively at the State Class 5A girls track meet held May 16-18 at Jefferson County Stadium.

The Bruins took top honors with 86 points and Arapahoe earned runner-up honors with 64 points.

At state, team points are awarded for the top nine finishers in each event. The event champion earns 10 team points and the ninth-place finisher earns one team point.

The depth of talent proved to be important for both teams as they won a few championships had athletes place and earn team points in numerous events.

“There are so many top athletes here that every point counts,” said John Woods, former Mullen track coach. “It has been my experience it is the team that has athletes place in a lot of events that wins the team title rather than a team that wins one or two championships but doesn’t place in other events.”

The Bruins had a pair of two-event champions as Jordyn Colter won the 800-meter run sand the 1,600-meter run while teammate Megan McCabe won the

pole vault and the long jump.

Freshman Ashley Miller helped the Cherry Creek cause with a second-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles. She said, when she started doing track in middle school, she thought it was cool to jump over things so she started running the hurdles.

She said she has worked hard to improve the techniques needed to be competitive in the hurdles.

Arapahoe also scored points in a variety of events.

Two big wins came in 1,600-meter relay and the 3,200 relay.

The 3,200 relay was run May 16 — the opening day of the state meet — and the team of Devan Foster, Jordan Seitz, Lauren Lipski and Zoe Gibbs won the event.

“We felt good coming into the state meet because our times had been among the best all season,” Foster said after the race.

“The competition was tough but we did it.

It was totally a team effort and it was the greatest feeling in the world as I crossed the finish line first for us.”

The Warriors gained additional points as Foster finished second in the 800, Tarya Phipps was third in the 400 and Hailey DeVries finished third in the 300-meter hurdles.

Meanwhile, Littleton High School saw its boys 1,600-meter relay team notch second place with a time of 3:21.31, about a second behind winner Cherokee Trail.

High-school racers get ready to drag Teens push cars to the red line at Bandimere

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Normally frowned-on activities like speeding and smoking the tires is encouraged May 27 for drivers competing in the Pepsi High School Drag Races at Bandimere Speedway.

Mike Lawson said he has his pickup truck ready to race.

“My older brother raced our truck last year and did OK,” the Littleton home-school student said.

“I want to do better than OK. I have been working to beef up the engine and I took some runs down the strip last year to learn how the race works. I think I am ready to go out and win some rounds of racing May 27.”

Of course, winning rounds of competition will present a challenge because there will be several hundred young men and women pursuing the same goal.

The majority of students are from the metro area and usu-

ally there is good representation from high schools such as Cherry Creek, Lakewood, Douglas County, Wheat Ridge and Englewood.

But each year, there are drivers from other portions of the state as well as a handful of entries from neighboring states.

Racing at the high school drags is limited to current high school students and 2013 graduates.

There is also the opportunity for those 19 to 23 to drag-race in the alumni classification. To enter, the person behind the wheel must be a licensed driver.

Rules also require the car to be equipped with seat belts, and the car must pass a technical inspection where the vehicle is checked to ensure the seat belts are securely fastened to the frame, the brakes are good and there is plenty of tread on the tires.

The driver of any vehicle that makes runs down the quartermile strip faster than 14 seconds is required to wear a helmet.

This year the gates open at 10 a.m., time trials begin at 11 and elimination races begin about 2 p.m.

The event always draws a crowd

on the track and in the stands.

Last year, for example, even with the high cost of gasoline, about 450 drivers represented about 50 different schools in the drag racing competition.

In addition to the races, there are contests to select the best-appearing car and the best-appearing crew. There are also opportunities to line up and race against a police officer through the Race a Cop program.

For information on ticket prices and more about the event, visit the website at www.bandimere. com or call the track at 303-6976001.

The annual event is very popular and drivers show up to race with all kinds of “wheels,” ranging from a hot rod that they drive in weekly races at the track to the family’s station wagon or sports utility vehicle.

So, to make the competition as fair as possible, entries are divided into two high school classes, one for the cars, trucks and motorcycles the kids drive on the street, and a different division for the drivers who will be behind the wheel of vehicles built to compete

Drivers await their turns on the starting line at last year’s high school drag races at Bandimere Speedway. This year’s event will be held on May 27. File photo in drag races.

Also, a handicap system called a dial-in is necessary because the field includes such a wide variety of vehicles.

The dial-in time is set in time trials and the handicap system allows the slower vehicle in the head-to-head drag race to leave the starting line first. But, running faster than the “dial-in time” is called breaking out and could cost a driver the race.

Winning means moving on to

the next round. Losing means it’s time to go home. Drivers get merchandise prizes each time they advance.

The elimination races continue until a single driver captures the day’s championship.

There a multitude of prizes given out during the competition and the day’s champion earns a shot at returning Labor Day to vie for the grand prize, a trip to Frank Hawley’s drag racing school in Florida.
