hile their hearts are definitely in the right place, their hands no longer always want to cooperate.

“I grew up in a family that says if you live in a community, you contribute to that community,” said Fran Wells on May 21, as she painstakingly assembled a head for a stick horse in the exercise room at River Pointe Senior Community in Littleton. “Some things I can do, and some things I can’t. Arthritis.”

Wells and a dozen or so of her fellow RiverPointe residents signed up to help make 50 new stick horses, each of which will hopefully become a little one’s buckin’ bronco during Western Welcome Week’s 20th annual Stick Horse Stampede, set for Aug. 9 at Arapahoe Community College.

RAISING AWARENESS

From left to right, Nicole Honnen, Michael Stein and Matt Honnen, all of Englewood, walk in support of the National Alliance on Mental Illnesss at Centennial Center Park on May 16. These three were a part of more than 1,000 who walked the 1 1/2 miles to help raise money for NAMI.

Those who participated in the NAMI walk at Centennial Center Park on May 16 wrote personal testemants as to why they were walking on leafs and attached them to the “Why I Walk Tree.”

More than 1,000 people walked for the cause of mental-health awareness May 16 at Centennial Center Park. In the quest to lessen the stigma of mental-health disorders, the National Alliance on Mental Illness event raised more than $152,000. “This event was to raise awareness about mental health but also to encourage support for everyone,” said Elsa Erickson, director of communications for the NAMI walk. Before the walk, several people on stage spoke to the crowd about their struggles with mental health and suicidal thoughts, and they received a roar of applause for their bravery. NAMI volunteers lined the 1 1/2-mile course to hand out water to the walkers and thank everyone for their support of NAMI’s largest fundraiser of the year.

Charter school prevails in appeal State board orders local districts to go along with plan

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The Colorado Board of Education voted 4-3 to uphold TriCity Academy’s appeal of both the Englewood and Sheridan school boards’ disapproval of the academy’s application to establish a charter school.

The board requires each of the school districts to approve the charter application

by June 12. Once the charter is approved, the districts are required to negotiate contracts detailing the agreement within 90 days of approving the charter.

The plans are to open the charter school in 2016.

“We are pleased by the board’s decision,” said Denise Mund, president of Delta Schools, a consultant to the academy board of directors. “We are proceeding to look for a facility, reviewing our budget and making sure we have the right people in place.”

Brian Ewert, Englewood Public Schools superintendent, said he was disappointed

by the state board’s decision.

“We are not against choice or charter schools,” he said. “The denial of the application was based on the quality of the application.”

The superintendent said Englewood got experts from the Charter School Institute to review the TriCity application, and the experts said there was a high risk if the school was established in accordance with the application.

Ewert said tentative plans are for the school board members to meet with the district’s attorney to discuss legal issue surrounding the state board order.

TriCity Academy submitted a charter school application to the Englewood and Sheridan districts on Aug. 1, 2014. The application requested approval to open a kindergarten through eighth grade charter school in the Englewood School District for the 2015-16 school year.

Because of the lengthy appeals, plans now call for opening the school for the 201617 academic year. The initial proposal is to open with about 200 students in kindergarten through fifth grade, with the academy growing to eventually serve about 420 students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

NEWS IN A HURRY First ‘Purple Stems’ awarded Littleton High School’s STEM Certificate Program will award its first three certificates this spring. Seniors Wyatt Goddard, Dakota Wilkins and Daniel Cooke have completed the requirements to earn a Purple STEM Certificate.

All three students plan to begin college studies in various STEM fields next fall. These students piloted the program’s online portfolio, completed STEM electives, documented extracurricular participation and met program requirements for GPA.

The Englewood School Board denied the application in November 2014 and the academy appealed the ruling to the Colorado Board of Education. The state board heard the appeal Jan. 7 and ruled in favor of the academy. The state board’s ruling ordered Englewood and academy representatives to hold negotiations in an effort to resolve their differences on a number of issues.

Following the negotiations, the state board ruling required the Englewood board to reconsider the charter school application. The Englewood board met Feb. 3 and unanimously denied the application for a second time.

On the night the Englewood board rejected their application, academy supporters vowed to again appeal the decision.

Charter schools were first authorized under the 1993 Colorado Charter School Act. A charter school operates under a contract from the school district or the Colorado Charter School Institute. There were about 170 charter schools in Colorado operating in the 2011-12 school year.

Charter schools receive 100 percent of the state per-pupil funding for each student enrolled in the program.

ACC hosts grant program for businesses Arapahoe Community College’s Workforce Training Program will hold its annual open house for the Colorado First and Existing Industry Training Grant Program on June 4 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at ACC. The “Colorado First” grant benefits companies that are relocating to or expanding in Colorado. The “Existing Industry” grant applies to companies that are adding technology or changing their business strategies in an effort to stay competitive in the market.

The event is free and open to public, and light refreshments will be provided. An RSVP is requested by May 28. For more information, contact the ACC Workforce Training Program at workforce@arapahoe.edu or 303-734-3701.

Allergies, asthma rising in schools jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com The number of children with severe allergies and asthma has skyrocketed since Littleton Public Schools began tracking such data in 2004, according to Melissa Cooper, director of special education and student support services.

“It really puts numbers to the conversations we’ve been hearing over the years,” said Lucie Stanish, school board member.

The number of kids with severe allergies more than doubled, from about 200 to nearly 450. The health-care staff recently

Former Arapahoe High School students Katie Hatstat and Meredith Lutz were named Goldwater Scholars through the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program, which provides scholarships to highly qualified college students who intend to pursue careers in science, mathematics and engineering.

A 2012 graduate, Hatstat is a junior at Rhodes College in Tennessee. A chemistry and neuroscience double major, Hatstat has been conducting research since her freshman year at Rhodes with professor Mauricio Cafiero in the school’s chemistry department.

A 2013 graduate, Lutz is a sophomore at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania. A double major in animal behavior and applied mathematics, she conducts research with capuchin monkeys at the Bucknell primate lab.

Students cannot apply for the scholarship, but rather must be nominated by their institutions. Of more than 1,200 applicants throughout the country, only 260 were named Goldwater Scholars this year.

traveling registered nurses plus part-time health-care assistants in every school.

“At this point, we do not know what we would do without them,” said Cooper.

The five nurses in turn have trained 146 delegates, oftentimes school secretaries, to perform 108 different procedures. There are 207 delegates who are allowed to administer medications.

“The nurses, by law, cannot delegate the procedures unless the nurses themselves feel comfortable with the person they’re delegating to,” said Cooper.

About 90 percent of the students are fully in compliance with immunizations, which is what state guidelines state as a goal, said nurse Katie Adamson. About 5 percent have claimed exempt status.

“Most noncompliance is just a matter of having the wrong paperwork,” she said.

completed a 20-page guide for the district to standardize how allergies are handled by each school.

“There is a wide range of allergies, and allergens pose a real challenge to the schools,” said Geri Johnson, registered nurse.

The increase in asthma is even greater, rising from 50 to 450.

“Asthma is the largest reason why kids are not in school,” said nurse Charlotte Brazelton.

All told, there are more than 1,000 kids in the 16,000-plus LPS student body who have health needs serious enough to require the district to keep an individual action plan on hand, more than double the 2004 number.

Of those, 43 are homebound.

As a result, the district has evolved from, as board member Carrie Warren-Gulley put it, volunteer moms with Band-Aids to five

Littleton City Council meeting, May 19

Action

Vote

Having recently made Littleton the third city in Colorado to pass its own construction-defects ordinance, council is now considering amending the ordinance to allow for a cash settlement, either offered by the builder or requested by the homeowner, in lieu of repairing an alleged construction defect.

The law approved on May 5 gives the builder the absolute right to try to repair any construction defects, so that a property owner or homeowners’ association can’t just go straight to court. It also requires the consent of the majority of property owners an HOA governs before it initiates a suit on behalf of all of them, some of whom might not be experiencing any problems

Council approved on first reading an ordinance designed to allow property owners in what’s known as the “R5” district, which includes the northwest section of downtown, to construct for-sale condos and townhouses. Currently, the zoning code doesn’t allow them to sell the units as separate homes; they have to either sell them as condominiums, creating the expensive need to form a homeowners association, or rent them out.

The city’s planning board on May 11 recommended by a vote of 6-1 that council approve the ordinance, which would not allow for more density in the area. It is currently zoned for about 44 dwelling units per acre. It would also forbid commercial parking lots in the area.

The change is being spurred by property owners and developers who want to scrape older single-family homes and build higherend duplexes. Critics say the move will displace some renters from affordable housing. But it could allow owners of aging apartment buildings to do the same, thereby reducing density in some places.

Warriors shine through dreary day Class presents Murphy with Arapaho quilt

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The dreary morning of May 21 suddenly seemed bright and warm and full of Warrior spirit when Arapahoe High School principal Natalie Pramenko presented retiring superintendent Scott Murphy with a gift that was fitting in many ways: a quilt handmade by members of the Arapaho tribe on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming.

“We hope it brings you warmth and comfort, and reminds you how much you are loved by all of the Warriors,” said Pramenko prior to the introduction of the graduating class of 2015.

“I don’t know what to say,” said Murphy, obviously touched. “It’s so kind of you, and it is kind of cold out here.”

Pramenko introduced Mark Soldier

Wolf, who recently turned 86 and is the only living elder to have helped cement the school’s relationship in 1993 with the tribe. The elders decided AHS was a place deserving of their respect and endorsed the school’s “Arapahoe Warrior” mascot, which was designed by Arapaho artist Wilbur Antelope.

“The relationship is very special, and it exists only because of a mutual respect,” he said. “May the Great Spirit always walk with you on your journey.”

Commencement speaker Mike Carlson, who graduated with a 4.132 grade-point average, urged his peers to embrace the Warrior spirit.

“Warriors don’t simply survive the day, they seize the day,” he said, conjuring memories of going out to lunch with friends, lipsynching contests and rounding up a team for dodgeball. “Not because you would win, but because there is no better group of people you’d rather lose with.”

Pramenko noted there wasn’t a lot of losing going on for this year’s class. There was

plenty of winning on the athletic fields, the group raised $11,000 during Warrior Week for the Rocky Mountain Down Syndrome Association, and the students collectively earned $21 million in scholarships. Poignantly, they also created the “Deliberate Acts of Love and Kindness” campaign in honor of their fallen fellow student, Claire

Davis, who would have graduated last year.

Jack Reutzel, LPS board president, sent the graduates out into the world with the admonition to practice understanding people, perceptions and relationships.

“The ability to understand your fellow travelers is of paramount importance,” he said.

Principal Stacey Riendeau said goodbye on May 20 to the first group of students to go all the way through Heritage High School under her watch.

“I knew from day one you would be a special class,” she told the graduating seniors as they awaited their diplomas at their graduation ceremony at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. “But you knew me as the person who said ‘no’ a lot.”

“No” was a theme of the day, with superintendent Scott Murphy poking jabs at himself for being known as the “Nosnow-day superintendent” — the last time he closed down the district for snow was on April 9, 2013, when the graduates were just sophomores.

Riendeau said she hoped they would use the word “no” often, when asked to be unkind, when considering choosing a spouse for money and not love, when choosing a career that’s not their passion, when asked if they have regrets.

“Saying ‘no’ can be a powerful and empowering thing to say to someone,” she said.

Graduate Shannon Pansini, commencement speaker, noted that when she asked her friends for words to describe the class of 2015, not all of them were positive — weird, apprehensive, crazy, judgmental, disconnected.

“This is part of being human,” she said. “... But even in darkness, stars still shine. Disrupted by rocks, water still flows.”

Mary Nichols, LPS board member, highlighted some of the students’ accomplishments: raising $12,500 to fight Ebola in Africa, where they have a sister school in Sierra Leone; raising another $2,000 to fight diabetes in children; holding food drives; supporting suicide prevention; and holding a “Day Without Hate” event.

And somehow they found time to earn more than $8.4 million in scholarships to work toward their futures.

“Be proud of where you come from and how you’ve contributed,” said Murphy. “We can’t wait to see what you’ll accomplish next.”

Littleton High rocks the stadium

Lions Class of 2015 ‘shakes it off ’

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Littleton High School class of 2015 rocked the Littleton Public Schools Stadium house on May 22 with lyrics of wisdom from Taylor Swift, the Hobbit and Tarzan, even sneaking in some Outkast with its class motto: “So Fresh, So Clean.”

Senior speakers Lillian Bell and Morgan Zueger teamed up to inspire their fellow students with lines from Swift, whom they called the “greatest poet of our time.”

From her hit single “Shake it Off”: “But I keep cruising, can’t stop, won’t stop grooving, it’s like I got this music in my mind, saying it’s going to be all right.”

Even Superintendent Scott Murphy got into the positive groove, presiding over his final LPS graduation ceremony before his retirement next month. But instead of popular lyrics, he quoted words he’d heard from the students themselves to describe their class: Community. Diversity. Options. Accepting. Inclusive. Unity. Strong. Intriguing.

“I think those are great words,” he said. “Believe in yourself, don’t worry, things will work out.”

Valedictorian Emily Burch recalled the great struggles of the Hobbit Frodo Baggins on his quest to throw the ring into the fire.

“Set a goal so high that even your best friends think you’re crazy,” she said. “Work through the hard times thinking of how they improve you, not how much they hurt.”

Salutatorian Junai Testa got the most laughs when she began her speech with: “Hello, children of helicopter parents. Freedom is near.”

She floated the notion that her generation is, in fact, the

greatest generation.

“How many of our parents would have made it through high school without ever taking their eyes off their phones?” she wondered.

Principal Amy Oakes noted the morning’s precipitation had precipitously ended just before the ceremony began.

“The fact that we are all here together says something about our community,” she said. “There is a sense of belief.

We believed the rain would stop. We believed you would all do so well. You believed in all of us. … They are truly ready to make a living, make a life and make a difference.

The graduates left the house to a tune familiar from their childhoods: Phil Collins singing “Stranger Like Me” from “Tarzan.”

“I can see there’s so much to learn It’s all so close and yet so far I see myself as people see me Oh, I just know there’s something bigger out there.”

Ceremonies honor veterans Speeches, music part of Memorial Day event at Fort Logan

he focus was remembering the sacrifices of those who died in service of their country at the May 25 Memorial Day ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery.

“I try to come here every year from Colorado Springs,” Vietnam veteran Oliver Padeway said before the ceremonies began. “I come to join with other veterans to pay tribute to those who served but didn’t come home. I also come in order to visit my younger brother’s grave here at Fort Logan.”

The warm, sunny weather brought out a big crowd. One Fort Logan employee estimated there were more than 1,500 people attending the ceremony.

The ceremonies followed the traditional format. There was patriotic music provided by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Band and speeches by Gov. John Hickenlooper and others.

There was the wreath placed

me, it is a way to express my respect and gratitude for those who lost their lives serving our nation. I didn’t go into the military but my dad and many

members of my family did. So I use my musical talent to honor them and all veterans.”

He said he is one of about 7,000 members of Bugles Across America. They all play horns but not all of them play bugles.

“In addition to Memorial Day and Veterans Day, I probably come to Fort Logan eight or nine times a year to play `Taps’ for a military funeral,” he said.

“If a musician can’t make it, they play a recording of `Taps.’ I volunteer as often as I can because I feel a musician should always play `Taps’ at a military funeral.”

As “Taps” was played, Carol Wiggins wiped tears from her eyes. “ `Taps’ always gives me goose bumps,” the Douglas County resident said. “I served three years in the Army while we were in Afghanistan. Quite a few guys I knew went down and I feel I have attended too many military funerals so Taps really hits home with me.”

Musician Steve Asheim checks the program to see when it will be time for him to play “Taps” during the May 25 Memorial Day Ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery. This is the ninth year Asheim has joined other musicians from Bugles Around America to play “Taps” during the ceremony.

Multitasking multiplies messes, mistakes I am not sure about you, but when it comes to multitasking, I like to think I am really good at it, that is until I realize … I’m not.

Now, it’s not that I haven’t tried to get as much done as possible in the shortest amount of time, it’s just that when I have tried to defy the odds and prove that I could effectively multitask, all I really accomplished was diluting my efforts of every task, and deluding myself that I actually pulled it off.

One of my favorite business books of all time is Jim Collins’ “Good to Great.” And sometimes I have to remind myself of one of the key principles that Jim Collins focuses on in his book: It’s called The Hedgehog Concept.

Basically he shares that the one thing that the hedgehog can do better than any other creature is defend itself. And the point he makes is that companies and people need to focus on what they do better than anyone else and stay committed to that path, focusing on the core competencies and strengths of the business or individual.

The same holds true for most of us sometimes, don’t you think? I mean, how many of us know someone who tries to be everything to everybody? Maybe some of us are even guilty of it ourselves. We say yes to everything and we wind up juggling so many things that we eventually wind up dropping the balls we

are trying to keep in the air. This is when we have to learn to say “no” more often so that we can say “yes” to the truly important things and people in our lives.

Saying “no” can be so hard sometimes, can’t it? I mean, family and friends come to us Michael Norton and need our help and ask for our help, and WINNING what are we supposed to do, tell them “no”?

WORDS Yes, that is exactly what we are supposed to do sometimes. But we can’t possibly say “no” when the church or temple asks us to help out, can we? Yes, that is OK too. You see, it’s not about learning to say “no” all of the time, it’s managing our responses so that we can focus on what it is we are really good at, our own core competencies.

And when we can apply those strengths in a situation where we can assist others, we will be adding true value and will minimize the amount of times we feel like we are spread so thin that we have to multitask in order to just get caught up.

A single focus doesn’t stifle growth, it actually multiplies success. Just think about it for a minute, think about a relationship where you applied complete and total focus on that person. I’ll bet the relationship flourished. If you are in sales, think of a customer where you were so focused on their needs and not what you were selling, it probably resulted in a sale and a customer for life.

The quote by Dag Hammarskjold always drives this point home for me, where he says, “It is more noble to give yourself completely to one individual than to labor diligently for the salvation of the masses.” I sometimes substitute the word “individual” with other words, like “project” or “committee” or “company,” as a single focus on anything can and will multiply our successes.

How about you? Are you multitasked to the point of dilution and delusion? Maybe it’s time to get some clarity and focus on you and your core strengths. As always I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, because when we live with such singular intent and focus it really will be a better than good week.

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

Immigration status shouldn’t bar service Let me tell you the story of a constituent of mine named Humberto. His parents brought him to the United States at the age of 2, moving to Colorado when Humberto was 6. A few years ago, Humberto graduated from Aurora Central High School, the high school I attended before leaving after my junior year to enlist in the Army.

Like me, Humberto’s dream was to serve his nation in uniform. He wants to be a Marine. Unlike me, due to his parent’s decision to bring him to the United States illegally when he was 2 years old, Humberto can’t go down to the local recruiter’s office and sign up to serve the only country he has ever known.

I believe we should give young people like Humberto the opportunity to serve in this country’s military, to serve the country they call home.

Earlier this month, during the debate on the annual defense bill, I supported keeping in language that would have urged the Department of Defense to look into whether enlisting people like Humberto made sense.

The language was ultimately stripped out of the defense bill, but I want to explain why I supported keeping it in and why it is in our military’s best interest.

Those arguing against the amendment reasoned that their opposition, in part, was based on the fact that there are plenty of young people who want to join the military, so that broadening the pool of eligible applicants to people brought to this country illegally is

not only unnecessary, but it is potentially unfair to U.S. citizens who might be edged out by the increased competition.

The reality is, according to the Department of Defense, only 1 percent of young people today are “eligible and inclined” to sign U.S. Rep. up to serve. In fact, last Mike Coffman year the Pentagon estimated that 71 percent GUEST of 17- to 24-year-olds in COLUMN the U.S. would not be eligible to serve in the military due to educational shortcomings, medical issues, drug and alcohol dependency, or criminal records.

That is because today’s military has incredibly high standards for enlistment. We have the most qualified personnel serving in uniform in the history of our country, thanks to those high standards.

I saw firsthand what low standards can do during my first deployment with the Army’s 1st Armored Division in Europe, 1972-1974, during the Cold War. The Army had just shifted to an all-volunteer force after Vietnam and was so desperate to fill its ranks that it was all too willing to take those with little formal education and low test scores, and even felons

were encouraged to join. Judges were known to tell criminal defendants that they could either join the military or go to jail.

As a result, disciplinary problems were extremely high, with one in four soldiers never completing their first enlistment and receiving a less than honorable discharge. Overall readiness suffered as well.

Our military benefits from being able to select from the broadest pool of applicants possible in order to maintain high standards, which translates into a total force ready to meet the national security challenges before us.

In my view, young people who were brought to the United States illegally as children through no fault of their own, who grew up here, who graduated from high school here, and who often know of no other country, ought to have the opportunity to serve this country if they can meet all of the qualifications.

It is not amnesty. It is an opportunity to serve the greatest nation on earth, an opportunity that only the best and the brightest will be given, and by extending that opportunity to young people like Humberto, our military and country will be better off for it.

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) has a combined 21 years of service between the Army, Army Reserve, Marine Corps and Marine Corps Reserve. He sits on both the House Armed Services Committee and the Veterans Affairs Committee.

Murder near Greenland at turn of last century Greek philosopher Seneca said a sword never kills anybody; it’s a tool in the killer’s hand. It turns out that the same can be said of Spencer V. Dicks’ revolver.

Greenland looks all-the-world like a peaceful big meadow, but one August evening near the turn of the century, the road about midway between I.J. Noe’s place and the town itself took a turn toward violence.

“The people of Douglas County were startled this week by a cold-blooded murder which occurred in the county road a mile west of Greenland about 7 o’clock Sunday evening,” reported the Aug. 31, 1900, edition of the Castle Rock Journal. “The victim was Orville Minor and his slayer was Spencer V. Dicks. Both were young men about 23 years of age. The killing was the result of unreasonable jealousy and was apparently deliberately planned. Love for a 16-year-old girl was at the bottom of the whole affair.”

The complicated twists and turns of the various relationships leading up to the brutal outcome are bit hard to follow, but the Castle Rock Journal, at the time at least, was willing to give it a shot.

“Dicks had for several months been engaged to marry Miss Minnie Hutchinson, the daughter of C.E. Hutchinson, a respected citizen of this county. The young man for-

merly worked as a farm hand for J.C. Babcock, a brother-in-law of Miss Hutchinson, with whom she now makes her home, but six months ago left there and commenced working for Charles Allis on a ranch east of Palmer Lake. His attentions to the young lady did not Rob Carrigan begin in earnest until after he had gone to the RESTLESS Allis ranch to live,” the NATIVE Journal said.

“Orville Minor was a brother-in-law of Miss Hutchinson’s brother, Rollie Hutchinson having married Miss Catherine Minor. He had been for quite a time been employed at the Greenland farm, leaving there a week ago Monday. He worked at the Charles Brand’s ranch a couple of days and then went to the C.E. Hutchinson ranch, of which Rollie Hutchinson now has charge. There Miss Dora Van Epps, to whom Minor was engaged, was visiting, and it was only Sunday that Miss Van Epps returned to Castle Rock. By some it is claimed that Minor, notwithstanding his

engagement, had been endeavoring to win the affections of Miss Hutchinson, although this seems doubtful, considering the fact that his own wedding day was set for the early part of next month.”

Anyway, Minor who was to visit Babcock’s ranch that fateful Sunday apparently innocently enough was asked to take Miss Hutchinson into Greenland by buggy before the arrival of Dicks, whom she was expecting.

When Dicks did arrive, and after a short exchange with the two in the buggy, he went on to the Babcock place and spoke angrily with Miss Hutchinson’s sister, Mrs. Babcock, telling her, according to the paper’s account, that “This is the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

After riding once again toward the couple in the buggy headed toward Greenland, Dicks met Minor and the girl about midway between Noe’s place and the town, where the road dropped into a deep valley.

“Minnie I didn’t think this of you!” he reportedly remarked.

“Minor started to explain that he intended no harm, and went on to say, ‘I am expecting to be married myself a week from Monday.’

Dicks replied, ‘I don’t whether you will or not,’ and pulling a gun, fired directly at Minor and Carrigan continues on Page 10

No one asked, but follow your heart Once again, I wasn’t asked to give a commencement speech anywhere.

That’s fine with me. I am not a big believer in ceremonies.

I gave a commencement speech once, and it was awful.

I think that graduating from high school or college is significant and meaningful. I just don’t like the hat and the dress that they make you wear.

And most of the time, the speakers say the same thing. And it’s about the future.

“Now go out there, and show the world what you are made of.”

And as everyone is leaving the parking lot, they run stop signs, speed, follow too closely and flip each other off.

See why I am not asked to give a speech?

I went through schools like a comet.

Grade schools in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and California. A high school in Ohio, and college and graduate schools in California.

One day I received something in the mail that had a gold seal on it, and an auto-pen signature, and I said to myself, “Now what?”

A master’s degree in art is a little like having a master’s degree in ice cream.

According to the newspaper account, “Minor, when shot rose up from

It makes you feel good, but you can’t buy a home with it.

You can’t get health insurance with it either.

But. You have a certain warmth. There Craig Marshall Smith is no better worthless QUIET degree than a DESPERATION degree in fine art.

It is one true thing when people and buildings are falling.

A degree in art is very selfish.

But look who is talking. I am on the outside of the world. I kept to myself when I was in high school, and I still do.

You might have a son or daughter who is withdrawn. “Withdrawn” is a perfect word for what I did.

I drew all of the time. Everywhere and on everything.

Drawing was my oxygen.

Now it’s painting and this: writing.

I don’t have any Smith family left, except for a terrific sister. And I haven’t made a family of my own, except for a dachshund.

But I have another kind of family that consists of painters and writers and musicians and architects, and they are always there.

Think of it. I can read two paragraphs of Raymond Chandler and feel better and feel good.

I can listen to Yo-Yo Ma and the skies are not cloudy all day.

Henry David Thoreau and I have had lunch together.

Someone said that an artist cannot fail, because it is a success just to be one.

And I have no regrets. I think I could have made buckets of money doing something else, but my soul would have been at the dry cleaners all of the time.

I look around and I see what’s happening and it either makes me sad or it makes me angry. The things we do to each other.

I cannot improve anyone else. I cannot get anyone to make sense. To put away their phones in grocery stores, or to treat their pets better.

No one in the Middle East gives a Jolly

Rancher about what I have to say.

Then I see a picture, a drawing, and way out back a bit of Billie Holiday wanders in.

You, then, class of 2015. Listen for a while. Listen to the sound of a piece of paper with a gold seal and an auto-pen signature on it.

No sound.

Then read about love: Read e. e. cummings.

Walk into a Frank Gehry building.

A plane falls because of a suicide pilot, and a train falls because of who knows what.

I was watching CNN in one room, and Mozart was playing in another room.

As The Who said, “I can’t explain.”

Now go watch the YouTube of Ann and Nancy Wilson’s performance of “Stairway to Heaven” at the Kennedy Center, and just make sure that the thing you do is the thing you love.

Best wishes, class of 2015.

Apparently Dicks headed south after the shooting.

“He stopped at Sugar City,” reported the Journal. “Where he had his mustache removed and his long hair cut. He then

started for Rocky Ford, still riding the horse he had taken from Mr. Allis. At Sugar City he secured a newspaper, and from it first learned that his bullet had not killed Miss Hutchinson. It was then that he resolved to surrender rather than lead a hunted life for the rest of his days.”

Dicks surrendered the following Wednesday in Rocky Ford to Douglas County Sheriff Hoffman after sending a

telegraph saying he would do so.

“Dicks says he is going to fight for a light sentence. He claims that he shot Minor because the latter had been talking about his girl,” the Journal also reported.

As the ladies stitched, sewed, stuffed and glued, they chatted about how such craftiness has played a role throughout their long lives.

“I used to have a rag-doll business in the ‘50s,” said Joan Zilis. “It was called the Merry Doll. I gave 15 or 20 women throughout the Chicago area work for several years. Some made dresses, some made other parts. Everybody had a different job. But it was something they could do at home, that was my whole idea. Because they couldn’t leave their children. … I got into it because I had four boys, and one little girl who liked dolls. … My mother was a really good seamstress.

Those were years when you did everything to make stuff and save money.

You just did it.”

Although Wells recently returned to Littleton after earning her degree at the University of Denver and flitting around the country as a master librarian for 75 years, the community has remained important to her.

“Denver was just a little cow town then, and that was fine,” she remem-

“Growing up here I didn’t think I’d go to UCCS. I thought I needed a bigger school to get the quality education and degree I wanted. But all it took was a campus visit and I found out what a hidden jewel UCCS is. I’m a dual major and the academics are challenging. I also love that I’m just a car ride from my family if they need me for anything.”

bers. “It’s changed a lot since then.

Littleton was just a widening in the road.”

She has a unique connection to Western Welcome Week, as well. Her son-in-law is a member of the Carson family, which originally built the Carson Nature Center as its home atop Jackass Hill. In 1986, the Carsons donated the building to South Platte Park, which will host WWW’s 22nd Annual Stampede for Open Space on the morning of Aug. 8.

Such unique connections aren’t really so unique in a city like Littleton, the ladies agree. It’s one reason they ended up making horse heads in the first place. Marketing director Donna MacCauley got to know WWW’s executive director, Cindy Hathaway, over the last several years while working RiverPointe’s annual Swing Dance, happening this year on Aug. 11.

The stick-horse team over the years became known as “Jane’s Posse” in honor of Hathaway’s mom, Jane.

When MacCauley realized that one of the RiverPointe residents, Norma Ellison, had been Jane’s friend and neighbor, it seemed like a great way to tie up a loose end.

“It just all kind of fell into place,” she said.

While the swing dance is open to

the public and an official WWW event, MacCauley said it’s just one part of RiverPointe’s celebration of its own community. There’s an ice-cream social and even a honky-tonk piano player during the week — “Sometimes what happens in RiverPointe stays in RiverPointe,” she said with a laugh.

Tracy Smith, head of the posse, said WWW is extremely grateful for the help.

“It’s allowing us to get our older generation involved, helping and doing something they can participate in,” she said.

But for the ladies, the joy of helping often lies in handing down skills, traditions and values. Melanie Joy Sullivan, 10, regularly visits her grandmother, Beth Meleney, and was on hand to help with the stick horses.

“I used to sew, but take a look,” she said, holding out a hand that’s held those of her children and grandchildren, made them meals and brushed their hair, wiped away tears and applauded their victories. “She’s better than I am at this stuff now. Somebody gave her one of the horses. I wasn’t going to give her the horse, because I thought she needed to learn to give to others. But she is giving to others by helping with this.”

Clayton farm up for residential rezone Family participating in plans for redevelopment

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com A proposal to build 26 single-family homes on the four-acre Clayton family farm has some residents of Littleton and Columbine Valley crying familiar protests about density, traffic and design.

“If implemented as proposed, it will have a very negative impact on our neighborhood and indeed, the Town of Columbine Valley,” writes Tom Marsh, president of the Columbine Valley Estates homeowners’ association.

“We stand ready to actively support the defeat of this plan as proposed.”

His sentiments are echoed by at least two other HOAs in the area, along with the Town of Columbine Valley staff and board of trustees.

“We have major concerns with the development standards proposed in the plan, especially the density and setbacks, and with the design commitments,” writes Columbine Valley Mayor Gale Christy in a letter to City of Littleton staff.

The Clayton family has been trying to sell the property — just west of Federal Boulevard at the southwest corner of Watson Lane and Bowles Avenue — for years, and has formed a partnership with contractor Brian Healy to develop it.

“This time, they chose to partner with the development to make sure they got it right,” writes Healy in a letter to city staff.

Things went awry several years ago, when an assisted-living center was proposed.

“Despite the low-impact, transitional nature of the use and similar facilities in the area, neighbors opposed the concept, insisting they would only support single-family homes on the site,” writes Healy. “Thus, the proposal before you, while not the most economically advantageous of options for the site, is the result of a great deal of compromise.”

Currently zoned for residential estates, only seven homes could be built there that would have to sell for between $1 million and $3 million, said Healy. He’s asking to build about 6.6 Craftsman-style units per acre, both one- and two-story homes that would sell for up to $650,000.

This four acres of farmland west of Federal Boulevard at the southwest corner of Watson Lane and Bowles Avenue could become 26 single-family homes if a proposal by the Clayton family, who currently own the property, is approved. Photo by Jennifer Smith

AND THAT’S NOT ALL …

Just up the street from the Clayton property, at the southwest corner of Bowles Avenue and Platte Canyon Road, KB Homes wants the City of Littleton to annex 5.6 acres from Arapahoe County to allow development of 58 single-family attached residences in 29 buildings. The proposal is currently under preliminary review by city staff.

He compares it to the new Willowcroft Manor project just two blocks west of the Clayton property, but critics note that development company Taylor Morrison fought hard, surviving a battle all the way to a vote of the people, to win approval of 2.95 units per acre.

“The density of this proposed development is completely out of character with the existing neighborhood,” writes Marsh.

The project is currently under review by Littleton city staff. But since it requires a rezone, it will eventually undergo public hearings in front of the planning board and city council.

Q&A: The Rev. James George

Reverend honored for volunteer work

By Taryn Walker | twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Wind Crest resident the Rev. B. James George was awarded Sky Ridge Medical Center’s 2015 Volunteer of the Year Award after working as a volunteer chaplain for 12 years at the hospital.

Three days each week, George, 89, spends hours helping to lead the chaplaincy department with the Rev. Laurie Jeddeloh — which means delivering stuffed animals to young patients, greeting families and helping to accomWhy should people volunteer and how did you get started?

It seems to me that any time you might be able to do something that’s helpful and is also an accomplishment for you, you just get on board! When Sky Ridge opened (in August 2003), I was minister of pastoral care at First United Methodist in Castle Rock, and this (Sky Ridge) became the destination hospital for Castle Rock-based EMS, so I set up an appointment with Rev. Laurie (Jeddeloh) to see if there was any help I could give, because I figured a lot of the folks from the parish would be coming up here.

modate those who want spiritual guidance while at Sky Ridge.

George is a part of the pastoral care volunteer staff, which donates 11,000 hours of its time every year at Sky Ridge.

He also spends his time volunteering at church services at his home, Wind Crest, a retirement community in Highlands Ranch.

George and Grace, his wife of 60plus years, work hard to establish and

Why is it important for you to have a chaplaincy at a hospital?

It’s like being asked why do you rob banks when you need money - it’s important because the patients are here. Most of the people that come in through our wards are here because of some kind of traumatic, unusual, health-threatening occurrence in their life. Perhaps for most of our people, maybe the majority, they’ve not been giving any active thoughts beyond what’s for breakfast, but this is a reminder of faith for them.

maintain ministries. Grace stays active in the chapels and even volunteers to read to students at elementary schools in her spare time, George said.

He is also a member of the Clinical Ethics committee at Sky Ridge, as well as two other hospitals. George helps craft patient-rights policies, research better resources and make sure the hospital is ethically prepared for any kind of crisis.

What do your days look like when volunteering at Sky Ridge?

Theological rants about the holy spirit (he said jokingly.) No actually, I think one of our primary roles is triage. Theoretically in the best of all possible worlds, we would have accurate information on religious interest, if any, of every patient coming in, and I think we do a pretty good job of it. It isn’t work to me, it’s a pleasure. When you talk to the ED (emergency department) staff about the whole process, as you would expect, the “little” people (children), along with the parents, are going through a tough time. I think we try to be humane, but it’s still a strange and frightening environment, and you can just see the apprehension and tension in their eyes. But, if you ask the “little” one if she might be able to adopt a “furry friend” (stuffed animal), I’ll check the den and see where they are. Not only does the child loosen up and relax, but so does the parent.

What do you do for fun, when you’re not volunteering?

This! This is fun. Not being on a staff, not having any quotas, not being under the usual corporate or academic pressure is an everyday adventure for me. I see a lot of very interesting folks and the hospital staff is family. I like classical music. Grace (wife) watches TV, but I don’t. I’m a book reader.

What is most rewarding about volunteering?

Being under Rev. Laurie’s direction. She is state-of-theart for hospital-based chaplaincy. From the day that the hospital opened, the concern for patient care, including spiritual welfare, has been very, very obvious.

Leadapalooza Shredding Event Calendar of Events Free Shredding and Electronics Recycling June 6 in Highlands Ranch HIGHLANDS RANCH – Here’s your chance to get rid of those personal documents and outdated TVs, computers, phones and other electronics items taking up space in your home or office.

Members of LEADapalooza, one of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce’s leads groups, are offering free shredding and electronics recycling from 9 a.m. to noon on June 6 at 1745 Shea Center Drive in Highlands Ranch, off of Lucent Boulevard a quarter mile south of C470.

“This is a great opportunity to get rid of

those old gadgets and personal documents not suitable for the regular trash that are taking up space and collecting dust in your home or office,” said Cheryl Braunschweiger of ALMC Mortgage at NOVA Home Loans and a member of LEADapalooza.

Last year, LEADapalooza recycled 40,000 pounds of used electronics items, shredded 10,000 pounds of documents and raised $4,000 for Boy Scout Troop 4 of Littleton, whose members helped with the event.

“The shredding truck provided by SHREDIT was so full the sides were bulging,”

From deployment to employment Nonprofit helps veterans transition into work world

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Micah Schulz knows first-hand the difficulty of readjusting to civilian life after a tour of duty.

The U.S. Army veteran from Lone Tree finished his degree when he returned from Iraq, but soon found himself wasting away his days, he said, in an unfulfilling telecomm sales position. Since then, he’s bounced around, serving as a food distributor for coffeehouses while trying to get his start-up going.

“There was nothing comparable to the military experience, where you feel like you’re doing something for the bettergood of your country and your people,” Schulz said. “Trying to find that in the civilian world was a struggle for sure. That’s what I’ve been kind of seeking ever since I’ve been out.”

Schulz’s story illustrates a common issue for the nation’s returning veterans: finding their way in the professional world after years of combat training. It’s not only the missing element of camaraderie that came with his time in the Army, but a lack of applicable real-world skills.

That’s part of the reason why a team of seasoned voice-over actors decided to create Warrior Voices, a nonprofit that instructs and equips veterans with the tools necessary to succeed in the voice-over industry. It also connects them with job opportunities.

“People are looking for a way to give back to veterans,” said Rob Reese, founder and CEO of Warrior Voices.

Schulz and Chad Ritter, a U.S. Marine from Centennial who was medically retired, were two of the veterans who recently attended an open casting call at Southglenn Public Library. They were surprised

by Warrior Voices’ willingness to show them the ropes and intrigued by the possibilities the industry has to offer.

“When someone comes and attends classes, we’re opening that world to them,” said Reese, a Parker resident.

With frequent medical appointments at the VA hospital, it was difficult for Ritter to hold down a regular job. He wasn’t sure where his skill set would fit in, and he’s not yet comfortable in unfamiliar settings.

Warrior Voices brings together veterans that can bond over shared experiences.

“In the Marine Corps, I fit in and I mattered, and when I got out, I kind of stum-

Yes, I have interviewed national celebrities including Oprah and Richard Simmons during my many years as a journalist. But nothing thrills me more than to be recognized by our local notables.

So the May 20 cocktail reception for the Jack A. Vickers Invitational Golf Tournament, a benefit for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, was a fame

fun fest for me.

I loved reconnecting with Hall-of-Famer Broncos QB John Elway and his buffed wife, Paige, who dished with me about being on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” with my favorite talk-show host Andy Cohen.

Paige confessed to following most of the “Housewives” franchises (I am obsessed), and I urged her to add “The Shahs of Sunset” to her playlist.

I also sidled up to former Broncos QB Brian Griese, who doesn’t age, and retired NBA great Chauncey Billups, who asked me where I have been. Really? Don’t ask me what I said because I was overwhelmed that he even knew who I was!

Andrisen-Morton menswear spokesmodel Craig Andrisen started the live auction by commenting on the inclement weather, “This is the first annual Jack Vickers snowball fight. Next year we are going to Vail.”

Billups took a turn at the mic. “Thanks to Mr. Vickers for supporting my neighborhood. Give what you can because it’s going to good people. I remember going to the rec center every day of my life.”

The hearty partiers hit the Castle Pines links the next morning. Bless their frozen selves.

Steuben’s coming to Arvada

Micah Schulz reads a script for his first voice-over at Southglenn Public Library in late April. bled around from job to job, trying to find something that had that brotherhood again,” Ritter said. “This gives people a purpose, and it builds camaraderie just sitting with some of the other veterans and doing stuff with them again.”

Ritter views Warrior Voices as a new frontier, one that he can conquer at his own pace. With experts guiding his way, Ritter is eager to get started. He and Schulz recorded their first voice-overs in the library’s multimedia room, and they will learn the ins and outs of voice-over acting during a five-week academy that starts in late June.

Likewise, Schulz enjoys the creativity and independence that comes with voiceover acting.

“I’m very excited to see how I can develop myself and learn from these guys and see what this industry has to offer and what I can offer it,” he said.

Reese partnered with accomplished voice-over actors Andrew Reed, Norm Silver and Bill LeVasseur, as well as police officer Phil Saraff, who will incorporate an element of emotional awareness for veter-

WHAT IS A VOICE-OVER? Pre-recorded audio of an unseen narrator; often used in cartoon series, commercials, instructional videos, audio books, corporate training videos, movie trailers and films (especially documentaries).

Josh Wolkon, the Denver-centric restaurateur who has brought this town Vesta Dipping Grill, Steuben’s and Ace, is branching out to the ’burbs with a second outpost of Steuben’s in Olde Town Arvada, according to a story on Eater Denver’s website.

Wolkon, who opened the diner/comfort food concept in Uptown nine years ago, said that the reception he received from the Arvada Office of Economic Development encouraged him to venture outside the comfort of Denver’s city limits. That and the fact that he could purchase the real estate in a former Gunther Toody’s space at 7355 Ralston Road.

The Steuben’s sequel will take its culinary direction from chef Brandon Beiderman.

“We see a lot of guests Uptown from the Arvada direction, so the concept is clearly a good fit for the demographic,” Wolkon told Eater Denver. ”The Arvada Office of Economic Development has been instrumental in attracting us to Arvada. They have been great to work with and are very proactive throughout this process.”

The new Steuben’s is slated to open late this year. See the whole story at www.denver.eater.com/2015/5/15/8611627/steubens-olde-town-arvada.

Ground broken for Z block ans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Schulz predicts that the popularity of Warrior Voices, which launched in January, will skyrocket.

“I think once more people find out about it, it’s just going to be amazing,” he said.

Casting calls for veterans and their spouses are scheduled for 2 to 7 p.m. May 28 and June 1 at the Southglenn Public Library, 6972 S. Vine St., Centennial.

For more information or to sign up for the free five-week academy, go to www. warriorvoices.org.

Ground was broken in May for Z Block, on Wazee Street between 18th and 19th streets, a hotel and retail/restaurant project being built by McWhinney, a Coloradobased real estate investment, management and development company.

McWhinney has joined with former Union Station partner Sage Hospitality, together with Newmark Grubb Knight Frank and longtime property owner Grand American, to redevelop Denver’s historic Windsor Dairy Block.

Slated to open in the fall of 2016, Z Block features McWhinney Real Estate Services as the managing partner, Sage Hospitality Parker continues on Page 18

Laugh at ‘Frankenstein’ until you’re blue in the face Mel Brooks’ musical brings good times to Littleton stage

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com The opening number of Mel Brooks’ silly musical “Young Frankenstein” is “The Happiest Town in Town.” Why are they happy? Old Frankenstein is dead and they’re holding a festive funeral. But the Inspector (Eric Mather) warns, “a grandson lives — in America.”

Next scene is in a New York medical school where said grandson, brilliant dean of the school, is lecturing (in song) about “The Brain.” Young Frankenstein (Cory Wendling), with waving eyebrows and oddball manner, looks a bit mad from the getgo and proves a fine choice for this part, although he declares he’s not a Frankenstein, but is pronounced “Fronkenschteen.”

A telegram arrives: “You must come to Transylvania — or your estate will be seized!”

Young Frankenstein goes to tell his glamorous fiancée Elizabeth (Cashelle Butler) goodbye, and the funny “Don’t Touch Me” ensues as she protects her clothes and hair from being messed up.

At Transylvania Station, our hero is met by the hooded hunchback Igor (Mark Shonsey), who hopes to see the grandfather’s lab going again.

Igor introduces lovely blonde Inga (Rebekah Ortiz), who will be the doctor’s assistant — and she can yodel.

Then we meet the spooky housekeeper, Frau Bleucher, who even scares the horses. The wonderful Annie Dwyer is a talented comedian and steals her scenes — especially

in “He Vas My Boyfriend,” as she laments the late Frankenstein.

The young man is convinced to “join the family business” and a monster moves into the action, true to form (T. J. Hogle).

As the townspeople are happily singing “Transylvania Mania,” roars are heard from the castle …

Costumes for this supremely silly musical were designed by Kevin Copenhaver of the Denver Center, and Tina Anderson designed the stone castle set, which works smoothly and is a backdrop for the big dance number, “Puttin’ on the Ritz.”

How many opportunities are there to see a happy monster tap-dancing in a chorus line? Don’t miss this production, put together — with tongue in cheek throughout — by the talented director Nick Sugar.

Kelly Kates was choreographer for the tap number and the music was recorded by music director Donna Kolpan Debreceni. Monsters need special makeup, and Todd Debreceni provided it.

Little kids might find a large bluefaced monster scary, but older ones should be delighted. What a fun introduction to theater.

Eight women show art in Curtis exhibit ‘Talent, Time, Tenacity’ to be discussed June 1

IF YOU GO

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Works by eight prominent local women artists — paintings, photographs, ceramic sculpture and glass art — are blended into a strong show at Curtis Arts and Humanities Center through June 13.

A panel discussion, scheduled for 7 p.m.

June 1, will offer insights on how they work.

The title is “Talent, Time and Tenacity” and it will provide some understanding of the satisfactions and frustrations of a life in art — of different lives in art.

The exhibit includes works by Patricia Aaron, Diana Carmody and Lora Witt of Greenwood Village, along with works by Joanne Burney, Connie Dines, Joellyn Duesberry, Marie-Pascale Foucault-Phipps and Tina Suszynski.

Aaron creates abstracts in encaustic (beeswax and pigments) and her paintings at Curtis are in a series she named “Hiatus,” inspired, she wrote, by “residual sites of abandoned mills, farmsteads and train yards.”

She writes of being an artist in residence at Uncross, Wyoming, “amidst miles of fencing outlining the plethora of Western ranches and homesteads.” She noted “the endless stream of coal cars traveling south …” One can imagine the origins of these paintings, with precise, textured horizontal bands of color.

Colorado-born painter Witt wrote of her lifelong interest in Western botany and geology as a consistent theme in her paintings.

“Understanding the science behind our natural world … has provided the foundation for my naturalist style.” Her canvases “reflect the

“Significant Women in Art” runs through June 13 at Curtis Arts and Humanities Center, located in a National Historic Landmark brick schoolhouse at 2349 E. Orchard Road, Greenwood Village.

It is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Admission is free. 303-797-1779.

harmony between humanity, the world and its hidden beauty.”

Carmody, known for her expansive Western skies (vast red skies in particular), said: “All artists are fortunate to give physical existence to an idea: What power we possess! ...

When my work impacts a viewer positively, it give me enormous encouragement and great joy.”

Photographer Dines explained her process: “The body of work in this show is an exploration into the world of handmade prints.

Each photograph for these composites is made in my camera, not in Photoshop, and then is printed on a clear transparency in my studio. The wood panels are prepared with coat of gesso and then a translucent acrylic … Once the photograph is transferred onto the wood, it is coated with up to four glazes …”

Foucault-Phipps paints on glass, creating bright luminous works in jewel-like hues.

Some are displayed in the windows.

Suszynski started her work in clay on the potter’s wheel, like most students, but “quickly gravitated to hand building,” she said. “A sculptor at heart, I was immediately smitten by the endless possibilities available to the hand builder.” She uses the traditional coil technique and forms the sculptor’s clay into large vessels that can hold water — and suggest the human torso.

RED ROCKS CONCERTS

“That Far-off Day,” a painting by Lora Witt, is included in the “Art By Significant Women” exhibit at Curtice Arts and Humanities Center. Courtesy photos Duesberry said she is a self-taught painter, except for a month with Richard Diedenkorn in 1986. Her painter’s eye focuses on the waters, fields, rocks and the tension she sees around her across the country. She wrote that she is returning to “my abandoned abstract language — now re-emerging as nodal

`The seen

My former colleague Dale Ulland (such a nice guy!), a Denver Post copy editor, recently had a close encounter of the celebrity kind. He posted this on Facebook: “Oh, you know, was just browsing the shelves at Old Firehouse Books in Fort Collins, and this woman accidentally bumps into me — heck, I almost spilled my Diet Coke. She apologizes profusely, and I recognize her as Dana Perino. I ask how her book, “And the Good News Is ...” is doing. She says,

forms in which to paint the geometric core I find in Nature …”

Burney wrote of “patterns set deep in our brains, either reaffirmed or modified as we go through our lives …” Tree branches against a winter sky or obviously abstract patterns will engage her attention.

‘Not bad.’ Long story short, we sit down at a nearby table and talk for what seems like an hour, all the while sharing some croissants and OJ. As I get up to leave, she asks, ‘Dale, would you like a signed copy of my New York Times list best-seller?’ I say, ‘Sure!’ (I mean, what else COULD I say?) And then she hands her cellphone to the store manager, who snaps a photo of us. Pretty cool. Celeste (Dale’s wife) and I hope to have her over for chips and salsa soon.”

Overheard

Eavesdropping on one woman to another at Brooklyn Pizza on Leetsdale and Monaco: “I try watching the Kardashians, but I get so mad that I’m not that rich nor that stupid.”

‘Hero’ theme at heart of summer reading Library programs aim to boost kids’ time with books

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com “Every Hero Has a Story” is the summer reading program theme in several local libraries — and nationwide, according to Val Fedders, the children’s librarian at Littleton’s Bemis Library. It is chosen by the national Collaborative Summer Reading Program, which sends out artwork and related program suggestions to participating libraries.

Arapahoe Libraries Arapahoe Library District is among those with the “Every Hero Has a Story” theme, and the district will hold two kickoff events on June 6: • Smoky Hill Library, 5430 S. Biscay Circle, Centennial, will launch its summer program with Superhero Training Camp from

9:30 a.m. to noon. Battle villains and make your own cape and mask.

• Koelbel Library, 5955 S. Holly St., Centennial, will hold kick off the program with a bouncy house and outdoor games from 2 to 4 p.m. At 2 and 3:25 p.m., Rocky Mountain Puppets will present “The Hero in You.” (Seating at the puppet shows is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.)

There will be a baby-focused summer program, because: “Babies and toddlers who hear and explore more words from an earlier age are eventually able to talk, read and write more easily,” said Lori Romero, Arapahoe Libraries’ supervisor/coordinator of child and family library services. In 2014, 13,291 babies, toddlers, children and teens read for 115,596 hours, and more than 20,411 patrons attended 697 summer reading theme programs.

Register for summer reading at arapahoelibraries.org or call 303-LIBRARY. All libraries will have a schedule of programs, and details will be available on June 6. Prize pickup will begin on July 6 and the program ends July 26.

The 2015 summer reading program is paid for by the Friends of the Arapahoe Libraries, who will donate more than $60,000 to support programs, books, prizes and more.

Bemis Library At Littleton’s Bemis Library, 6014 S. Datura St., the “Every Hero Has a Story” summer reading program will start with registration on June 8 and will wind up on Aug. 9.

Bemis also has an adult summer reading program, “Escape the Ordinary, Experience Adventure,” which began on May 26.

Register at the information desk or register online at littletongov.org/bemis. Fill out a drawing slip for every book read and every program attended. There will be weekly drawings and a grand prize drawing at the end of the summer. Program runs through July 31.

Englewood Public Library Englewood Public Library is also using the theme of “Every Hero Has a Story.” The library is in the Englewood Civic Center,

1000 Englewood Parkway, and its website can be found at englewoodgov.org/library.

Douglas County Libraries

Douglas County Libraries invites readers into “The Reading Zone” for a construction-themed summer reading program to celebrate the district’s construction of three new libraries in Castle Pines, Lone Tree and Parker. Programs will kick off from 10 a.m. to noon on May 30 at all Douglas County libraries, with story time, books, snacks, crafts, games and a chance to get close to a piece of heavy construction equipment.

Kids 12 and younger who read for 12 hours before July 25 and older kids and adults who read four books will be entered in a drawing for one of 65 Target gift cards worth $50 each.

In June and July, DCL will present free entertainment opportunities with live animals from the Denver Zoo plus a Bricks 4 Kidz Legos building. Programs featuring books, music, writing instruction and fun will be ongoing. Details and registration are available online at DouglasCountyLibraries.org/Reading-Zone.

Mini Maker Faire touts ideas becoming reality The Denver Mini Maker Faire on June 12 and 13 at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science will be held during the national Week of Making, established by the Obama administration to celebrate the one-year anniversary of last year’s White House Maker Faire, which will also coincide with a National Maker Faire that week in Washington. The idea is an offshoot of the wildly popular Maker Faire in San Francisco that draws 100,000 people from around the world.

Maker Faires are multigenerational gatherings that have become popular across the country and around the world, with demonstrations, activities and hands-on projects that draw crafters, tinkerers, makers and inventors in science, technology, design and sustainability.

“Today’s DIY is tomorrow’s Made in

America,” the president said.

The event will be held inside and outside the museum, rain or shine, and will include more than 100 exhibits and activities.

The DMNS collaborates with Colorado Makers Hub to stage this event, which will include some south metro area makers. A few examples: • Rover Rally, Parker, will display their robots and show what they can do.

• “Riveropolis” will be displayed by Mackintosh School of Littleton. “We plan to have a water play area simulating a river run and a few building area where kids can make boats and other things to float, race and explore how water works,” they say.

• Space Bling, with Susanna Speier of Castle Rock, will display hand-made planetary jewelry and accessories built with photos sourced from NASA’s unmanned space

Other exhibits

IF YOU GO The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is at 2001 Colorado Boulevard, Denver. The Denver Mini Maker Faire will be on June 12 and 13.

Tickets for this event include general admission to the museum. Non-member adult, $19.95; non-member child, $14.95; non-member senior, $16.95; dmns.org, 303-370-6000.

Coloradans honored for superb writing 10 are recognized at annual dinner, gala

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ten Colorado authors were chosen by judges from a list of 36 finalists for recognition at the annual Colorado Authors’ League awards dinner/ceremony on May 8 at the Courtyard Marriott-Denver in Cherry Creek.

Preliminary judges were members of the Southwest Writers, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, who named 36 finalists — more than the expected 30 — because of the superior quality of the entries, they said.

A Lifetime Achievement Award was given to best-selling adventure/thriller writer Clive Cussler, while last year’s Lifetime Achievement Award winner, 103-year-old poet Lois Beebe Hayna, won in the poetry category for her latest book “Lagniappe.”

(She was able to attend.)

The Authors Advocate Award went to Margaret A. Coval and Josephine Jones of Colorado Humanities, which has its office in Greenwood Village and includes Colorado Center for the Book.

List of awards • Poetry — Lois Beebe Hayna, a longtime Colorado resident who now lives in Montrose, Michigan, for “Lagiappe,” her latest book of poems.

• Feature articles — Denny Dressman of Arapahoe County won for “Next on the Tee: Lewis and Clark” in Avid Golfer magazine.

OTHER FINALISTS Other south metro area writers were among the finalists.

The Colorado Authors’ League offers programs at regular meetings and membership is open to interested writers.

See coloradoauthors.org for information.

• Essays — Ellen Nordberg of Louisville won for “The Ambivalent Mother” in Flatirons Literary Review.

• General nonfiction — Mary Taylor Young of Castle Rock won for her “Rocky Mountain National Park: The First Hundred Years,” published by Farcountry Press.

• Creative nonfiction — Julene Bair of Longmont won for “The Ogalalla Road: A Memoir of Love and Reckoning,” published by Viking Penguin.

• Children’s — Lydia Gil of Centennial won for “Letters From Heaven,” published by Arte Publico Press.

• Young adult — Linda LeBlanc of Westminster won for “No Summit Out of Sight,” published by Simon and Schuster.

• Short fiction — Sharon Cairns Mann of Denver won for “Pockets,” published in Progenitor Art and Literary Journal of Arapahoe Community College.

• Mainstream fiction — J.M. Mitchell of Littleton won for “The Height of Secrecy,” published by Prairie Plum Press.

• Genre fiction — Denver author Mark Stevens’ third novel in his Alison Coil series, “Trapline,” was the winner, published by Midnight Ink.

“For readers, I would love for them to go do whatever, wherever.

Go do it alone, and now, because you want to and you’re allowed to and you can,” said author Emma Hooper in a brief Q&A at the end of her astonishing novel, “Etta, Otto, Russell and James.” It addresses all sorts of issues we all meet: love, memories, late life regrets, interactions with strangers, longing for one more great experience …

Hooper will appear at Tattered Cover Colfax, 2526 E. Colfax Ave., at 7 p.m. June 5 to talk about her book and sign copies of the new paperback edition.

Her tale of 83-year-old Etta’s journey to see the sea, accompanied by a wise and conversant coyote named James, is conveyed in lovely bits and pieces that travel back and forth between youth and age, much the way our memories can — interspersed with small details and great world-shattering events such as World War II, where Otto’s blond hair turned white when he was 17.

A reader must relax and roll with it rather than trying to line up an orderly, linear storyline. Hooper said “my hope was, and is, that the impressionistic nature of the scenes would blur any definite details, so there are no concrete things to hold onto like ‘good guys, bad guys’ — or clear-cut right and wrong …”

Hooper, a Canadian with a doctorate in musico-literary studies, is a lecturer at Bath-Spa University in Great Britain. She is also a musician, performing solo as “Waitress for the Bees.”

Emma Hooper, author of “Etta and Otto and Russell and James,” is a Canadian who lives in Great Britain. She will appear at Tattered Cover Colfax on June 5. Courtesy photo

Her prose is rhythmic and carries the reader along across the prairie, over rivers and through woods with lyrical language.

The countryside is comfortable for Etta as she improvises, sleeping outside, eating berries at times, and bread purchased in town at other times — sharing with James.

As she travels, she is noticed and celebrated by local news writers, building to festive events as she nears her journey’s end — a whimsical recognition of the power of the imagination.

Folklore and magic realism pave Etta’s way as she travels, and they also comfort her patient husband Otto as her waits and longs for her, consoling himself with a creative project that engages others.

Russell, the other man she loves, gathers courage to try and find her, heading east in his old truck.

Readers who can relax and travel with Etta, picking up bits and pieces of her life along the road, will arrive at the end feeling satisfied as well as sad that the journey has ended.

SPIRITUAL VOICES Spring Concert The Bennie L. Williams Spiritual Voices will perform with guest artist Corey Harris at 7:30 p.m.

Friday, May 29, at Bethany Lutheran Church, 4500 E. Hampden Ave., Cherry Hills Village.

African-American slaves used the spirituals to affirm their essential humanity in the face of oppression. The words of the songs were often stories from the Bible that told about freedom and a hope for a better future. The influence of the spirituals became the basis for the blues. Born out of African rhythms and combined with instrumentation the blues are about personal struggle and perseverance, and have become an expression of cultural and political rebellion.

OBITUARIES MCNEIL CHESHIRE - Ellen Clossick McNeil, 85, passed away peacefully Tuesday, May 19, 2015 at Mid-State Medical Center in Meriden.

She was the wife of the late Edward J. McNeil.

Ellen was born May 25, 1929 in New Haven, the daughter of the late William and Bridget (Hyland) Clossick. Upon graduating from Waterbury Catholic High School, she married her husband and moved to Cheshire. After the unexpected death of her young husband, Ellen resiliently raised her three children.

Later in life, Ellen joined the United Illuminating Company as a Customer Service Representative; a position she thoroughly enjoyed, and fondly would recall memories every time a storm temporarily suspended power and electricity in Cheshire.

Ellen enjoyed tag-sale hunting on Sundays for a “good bargain”, having fun with her friends, laughing

She is predeceased by her siblings Margaret and William Clossick, and Mary Jane Wilson.

Ellen’s family expresses their sincere appreciation to her full-time, live-in caregiver, Ms. Ann Prince.

GARAGE & ESTATE SALES

Betty Davis Blair

July 5, 1926 – May 19, 2015

Born to Stella and Samuel Davis on July 5, 1926, in Shamokin, Pennsylvania. The family moved to Baltimore and grew with the birth of siblings Dolores, Sam Jr., and Joyce.

Betty would fondly recall, skipping school and going to the movies with friends giggling away when, from the seats directly behind her, she heard her parents ask what she was doing there. During the war, she fell in love with a member of the U.S. Air Force, Carl F. Blair, and married June 14, 1947. Within a couple of years, she welcomed sons David (born in 1949, married to Diana), and later, Carl Jr. (born 1951, married to Bea). They moved to Littleton, Colorado in 1956, where she lived in a house just behind Centennial Racetrack. There she became a mother again to two more sons, Rick (born 1959, married to Julie) and Gary (born 1967, married to Susan). Keeping up with four sons and house work was no easy task, yet she managed it with courage, gumption, and faith. A ADAMS

devoted Catholic, Betty attended St. Mary’s Parish for 59 years, and insisted that all of her sons enroll in St. Mary’s. Through the years, Betty held many jobs, once working three jobs at a time to help with family finances. Betty was memorable everywhere she found a position, including: Centennial Racetrack, Arapahoe Drug Store, Centennial Bank, Columbine Country Club, and with the Denver Broncos. Many remember Betty as one of the “singing” beer ladies (Level 3) during all Bronco home games for many years at Mile High. After retiring, Betty enjoyed activities at the senior center, flirting at bingo and gambling at the penny slots in Central

City and Blackhawk. One of the most important things to Betty was family.

She was a fantastic mother and adored by all who knew her including: her children, grandchildren – Gina, Melissa (Nate), Patti (Seth), Kim (Scott), Alex, and David; and greatgrandchildren – Bayle, Mason, Maddux, Izzy, and Zach. She loved traveling with family on cruises and vacations to Walt Disney World, Alaska, Mexico, and Hawaii. Her humor gave us hope and reminded us not to take life too seriously. Even in her last days, she told her doctor she could get up and do “a Polish jig” if he would find some music. Her laugh sent waves of joy throughout a room, often leaving everyone in tears because we laughed so hard. We remember her as feisty, but honorable, loving, giving, and also our matriarch.

Betty passed May 19, in the arms of her beloved sons. Her life celebration will be held Saturday, May 30 at 1p.m., at Drinkwine Mortuary in Littleton.

Adeline Czarny Adams July 5, 1925 – May 17, 2015

Adeline Czarny Adams, 89, was a longtime resident of Englewood.

She died May 17, 2015 at Julia Temple Healthcare Center in Englewood. She was born in Fergus Falls, MN on July 5, 1925 to Arthur Leonard Miller and Margaret Munger Miller.

She attended Moorhead State Teachers College where in her freshman year she was recognized as one of the highest ranking freshmen. She married Alex Czarny on March 12, 1947 in Chicago, IL. He had been a B-17 ball turret gunner in World War II. During the war Adeline worked for the Treasury Department in Chicago, and later worked for a radio station in Fergus Falls where she produced five programs daily. Adeline and Alex moved to Denver in January 1949 and bought a house in Englewood on Elati Street. They began building a new house in 1956 in Englewood. When time allowed they enjoyed

camping in the mountains and square dancing. In later years, they enjoyed traveling to many places, especially to Hawaii and Mexico. In 1965, Adeline began a 25-year career as a bookmobile libriarian on the “Roadrunner” for the Englewood, Colorado Public Library, where her passion was inspiring children to read. By the time she retired, the “Roadrunner” accounted for roughly a third of the entire library’s 300,000 circulation. She was also a volunteer story teller for the Englewood Public Schools until 2006. She was known for her handmade puppets and puppet

shows. She was a faithful member of Englewood Presbyterian Church.

Adeline was predeceased

by Alex, her husband of 40 years; her second husband Dearl Adams; daughter Susan Kay Czarny; stepson Darryl Wallace Adams. She is survived by her son Alan (Linda), granddaughter Alia (Greg) Mancari and great-granddaughters Evie and Violette. Also surviving are her sister Mary Holo, brother Robert Miller, stepson Darwal Adams and his family, as well as a host of nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Friends of the Englewood Public Library and mailed to Englewood Public Library, Attn: Dorothy Hargrove, 1000 Englewood Parkway, Englewood, CO, 80110, or to Englewood Presbyterian Church, 3500 S.

Littleton player shines in all-star game Timm scores a goal for his team in the May 21 contest

By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The Colorado High School Lacrosse Coaches Association brought together about 100 of the best players in the state on May 21, including Joe Timm from Littleton, for the 2015 Froelicher-Toll All State Game.

There was an all-star 4A game and an allstar 5A game. Timm played on the blue team

in the 4A game and scored one of the first goals of the game.

“This is the first time I have ever got the chance to play in a state all-star game, and it was great,” Timm said. “You get to play with guys you played with during the season, and it was really fun. It is an honor to be selected to play in a game with the best high school lacrosse players in the state.”

The game was played at Denver Public Schools Stadium. All the players reported to an assembly point and were randomly divided into two teams.

Many of the players were from area teams, but there were also players who traveled from Colorado Springs and Aspen to play in the

game.

A small but loud crowd cheered the action on the field. The cheering tended to be more for an individual player or players from a specific school, but there also were enthusiastic cheers for good plays regardless of athlete or team, such as a behind-the-back shot that scored a goal.

Timm was the only Littleton player on the roster. There were several cases in which teammates were placed on opposing teams.

For example, Englewood’s Caleb Medina was Timm’s teammate, while Medina’s Pirates teammate Austin Trail was on the red team.

The players didn’t have a practice, so they had to adjust on the fly.

“The first half was really difficult to establish a flow and team chemistry,” Medina said after the game. “But we worked things out, and the second half play was better.”

He smiled and said it was very different playing against a teammate. He also said it was an honor to be on the team that was coached by Pirates head coach Matt Thomas.

“It was great to be in this game and to be coached by the man who taught me lacrosse,” he said. “It also was great to play with and against the best players in the state.”

Timm said he had a fantastic time getting to play in the game. The Lions senior played well but, when the horn sounded ending the game, the red team won, 13-8.

Lacrosse player ends prep career with roar

By Jim Benton

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Castle View senior midfielder Max Tuttle reached two of his objectives in lacrosse this season.

Tuttle was the goal-scoring Class 5A leader with 54 during the 2014 campaign, but he wanted to be a better team player and dish out more assists this season.

This year he led Class 5A in both goals with 59 and points with 114 after racking up 55 assists. He has been selected as the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year.

Along with his 54 goals a year ago, he finished with just 16 assists for 70 points.

Castle View senior midfielder Max Tuttle is Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

1

The Littleton High School football team needs new uniforms: The last time the team got new pants and jerseys was in 1998, 17 years ago. It will cost about $17,000 to outfit the Lions in new purple and gold, and the team has raised about half of that amount on its own.

“Before the season started I made it my goal every time I stepped on the field to try to be the best player on the field, and then, numbers-wise, I kind of wanted to reach 100 points this season,” said Tuttle. “And I did that.”

SOUTH METRO Castle View advanced ATHLETES to the state quarterfinals OF THE YEAR and finished with a 13-4 record.

“Max has been a tremendous pleasure to coach and to watch this year,” said Sabercats coach Jose Trujillo. “His vision and field presence kept his teammates

involved in the games, but when it was needed, he carried the team on his back.

“He worked harder in the offseason than any player that I’ve ever seen, and that commitment and dedication showed with his growth and continued excellence as a team lacrosse player. His individual talent won some games for us, but his ability to involve his teammates made this the most successful team in Castle View boys lacrosse history. He will be missed.”

Tuttle, who will play next season at Sacred Heart, claims the Sabercats were one of the surprise 5A teams this season.

“The season went great,” said Tuttle. “Our team came together really well, and I attribute that to how we all played and worked out together in the offseason. We exceeded a lot of people’s expectations.’’

THE LITTLETON HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM

You can help: The team is planning its first fundraising golf tournament for 8 a.m. June 22 at Plum Creek Golf Course, 331 Players Club Drive, Castle Rock.

Registration is $125 per player, which includes lunch and giveaways. Register or offer to sponsor a hole by calling coach Kurt Krantz at 303-210-9515.

By Jennifer Smith | jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Here’s what the coach says: “I know there are a lot of good people who would want to help our high school. The budgets are getting tighter and tighter in the school districts, and a lot of the parents just can’t afford it.”

4

The team is getting better: Krantz was hired in 2013 and has led the Lions to their best two seasons in several years. At the end of his first season, he was one of two high school coaches nominated by his peers for Coach of the Year. The team ended the season in the fall with a 5-5 record.

5

Think of it as a reunion for a good cause: Krantz hopes LHS alums will step up and support their team, and seize the opportunity to get together with old friends. He’d like to see the golf tournament become an annual event.

Mountain Vista star nets major honor Soccer champ Chastain presents Pugh with national award

By Jim Benton

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Mallory Pugh was stymied for probably the only time this spring when she was asked what she was going to do for an encore.

The 17-year-old Mountain Vista junior was surprised while in class May 21 by her teammates, family and former U.S. gold medal Olympian and World Cup champion player Brandi Chastain, who presented Pugh with the Gatorade National Girls Soccer Player of the Year award.

Pugh has the talent to keep improving at the high school level and as a member of the U.S. Under 20 national team. Along with 11 other national winners, Pugh has been invited to Los Angeles in July, when she could receive an encore as Gatorade’s overall national Female Athlete of the Year.

She and her family will also walk down the red carpet at the ESPY awards, which follows the Gatorade national ceremony. The Gatorade winners are selected on the basis of athletic achievement, academic excellence and exemplary character.

Pugh is, as Heritage coach Adam Buseck told Gatorade, “The best player in high school soccer I’ve ever seen.” She has a 3.68 grade point average, and she has volunteered as part of initiatives that help pediatric patients at Children’s Hospital. She has also spent time aiding Panther Pantry, which serves needy

Pugh joins two other Colorado girls who have been honored with the National Girls Soccer Player of the Year award. Green Mountain’s Aleisha Cramer-Rose won in 2000, and Mary McDowell of Wheat Ridge earned the distinction in 2001.

“I was surprised,” said Pugh who has committed to play at UCLA. “Someone walked into class, I looked and all my teammates were there. I saw my parents, and I said, ‘What is going on?’ Then Brandi came with the trophy, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’

“I’m thankful and really honored. I know I could not have done it without my teammates, my family and my coaches,” Pugh added. “It’s a team award because they push me every day to get better. I can’t thank them

enough for the friendships we’ve built and the support they give me. It’s off the charts.”

Because of her national team commitments, Pugh played in 10 of Mountain Vista’s 19 games this season, but had a big impact on those games. She scored 24 goals and had 12 assists. Over the past three seasons, Mountain Vista is 32-0 in games in which Pugh has played.

Mountain Vista coach Theresa Echtermeyer praised Pugh for her dedication, humility, ability to make people laugh, and being a role model. She also couldn’t say enough about her as a player.

“They call soccer the beautiful game, well Mallory takes a beautiful game to the next level,” said Echtermeyer. “Watching her play is not only beautiful it is magical.

“She can take over a game in an instant, she can beat three or four defenders and take the ball to the line, shoot and deliver a perfect

serve to whoever is in the box. She wants the toughest challenges because she knows in the end that those challenges make her better.”

Chastain was edgy walking into the history class to surprise Pugh, but later lauded her talents.

“I’ve been to many awards ceremonies, and I’ve been ask to throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium, but I was more nervous to present this award to Mallory because it’s very special, very unique and you want to get it right,” she said. “I wanted to surprise her in a way so she would remember the moment.

“Mallory has a lot of great qualities. She has great agility, she has great quickness, she’s a game changer and at any minute she can break a game wide open and not many players can do that. The most impressive thing about Mallory is she has a change of pace that is surprising yet at the same time she does this explosive movement she also has this composure to do the job in each moment. She’s very unique and very mature for her age.”

Continental League announces soccer awards Mountain Vista’s Massey named Girls Soccer Player of the Year Staff report Mountain Vista senior Megan Massey was named the 2015 Continental League Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

Chris Smith of ThunderRidge was tabbed as the league’s Coach of the Year while Douglas County and Highlands Ranch shared the Sportsmanship Award.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Meeting new associates can be awkward, even if you’re in a high positive phase right now. Best advice: Make them feel comfortable, and you’ll soon forget your own discomfort.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good time for you social Lions to blow-dry your manes, polish your claws and look like the Fabulous Felines you are as you make new friends and influence the influential.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Expectations run especially high this week, and you should feel confident in your abilities to take advantage of what might be offered. A colleague has some advice you might find helpful.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An insensitive act makes a difficult situation more so. But try not to waste either your physical or emotional energies in anger. Move on and let others fill the clod in on the facts of life.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) It’s a good time to look into that training program or college course you’ve been considering. You might have a good place to use those sharpened skills sooner rather than later.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Education dominates much of your aspect during this week.

You might want to start checking out those summer session courses that could help advance your career plans.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Progress often comes in fits and starts. But at least you’re moving straight ahead with no backsliding. You should soon be able to pick up the pace and reach your goals in due time.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be wary of a deal that gives confusing answers to your questions. Remember: It’s always risky swimming in unknown waters, so you need all the help you can get to stay on course.

May showers bring spring-sports headaches Soggy weather creates havoc for schedules

By Jim Benton

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com All the rain that has made grass all over the state a dark green has caused havoc for the Colorado High School Activities Association in trying to get the spring sports state championships completed.

The 5A girls state golf tournament at the Olde Course in Loveland was cut from 36 holes to 18, since the course was only playable for the first round on May 18.

Both rounds of the Class 4A tournament at the River Valley course in Carbondale were played despite damp conditions.

“With the weather, the girls left some shots out there that they normally wouldn’t,” said Rock Canyon coach Dave Vahling, whose team was second in the one-day Class 5A event. “The second day they could have improved. I would have liked to have seen better weather so we could have played under better conditions, because that brings the best out of the players.”

Girls soccer and boys and girls lacrosse

were played mostly on artificial turf surfaces and were completed with just slight delays for lightning. The girls state tennis tournaments were delayed two days because of the weather.

The three-day state track meet was completed as scheduled May 14-16.

The baseball tournaments were affected the most by the rain, which made fields unplayable.

District baseball tournaments in every classification were postponed and rescheduled. After multiple postponements, the Class 4A double-elimination state tournament was moved to Metro State and four games were played to finish the first weekend’s schedule. The remaining four teams will play May 26 and 27 at All-Star Park in Lakewood, weather permitting.

Semifinals in the Class 5A state tournament, which also had earlier delays, were scheduled for May 22, but All-City Field was unplayable. Two games are rescheduled for May 26 and May 27 at All-City. In the event All-City Field is still not dry, the games were to be held May 29 and 30.

“We had graduation of the seniors, and with all the postponed games, you wonder where they are mentally, knowing they are done with school,” said Mountain Vista baseball coach Ron Quintana, whose team

is among the final four in Class 5A. “Plus you’re stuck indoors because of all the rain, and the field is underwater. So being indoors is another challenge to keeping the boys focused.”

The Class 3A baseball semifinals at Butch Butler Field in Greeley were rescheduled until May 26 and May 27. Class 2A games set for May 23 in Pueblo were still on.

The frequent rains have obviously been a headache for CHSAA. “This is, in my memory, as extensive as I can remember,” said assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann. “Part of the problem is you’re disrupting academic schedules. That’s one of the things you hate.

You don’t want to try to reschedule onto a graduation time, so we try to work around some of those kinds of things. Getting umpires sometimes is a challenge if you are going midweek. Sometimes that impacts who is available.”

And the delays are costly for CHSAA, which in one case had to rent Metro State for two additional days.

“It certainly hurts at the gate,” said Borgmann. “And there are aspects to it that you just don’t like because you are also disrupting people’s work schedules and those kinds of things, and you are dis-

rupting schedules at your facilities. There are expenses for doing things like that (moving to Metro State), but at the same time you have to hope that facilities are available.”

Rock Canyon baseball coach Tyler Munro, whose Jaguars remain in contention for the 5A crown, said one bright spot is that the delays give pitchers more time to rest. But, overall, he agrees, “it’s not good.”

“Vacations are starting to come up and I’m worried about that … I’ll start losing a player and coach here and there.”

Class 5A semifinals (All-City Stadium) May 26 Noon: Mountain Vista (2-1) vs. Grandview (2-1); 2:30 p.m.: Rock Canyon (2-1) vs. Grandview (3-0).

May 27 Noon: championship game; 2:30 p.m.: second championship game if necessary.

Class 4A semifinals (At All-Star Park) May 26 Noon: Green Mountain (3-0) vs.

D’Evelyn (2-1); 2:30 p.m.: Lewis Palmer (21) vs. Ponderosa (2-1).

May 27 Noon: Championship game; 2:30 p.m.: second championship game if necessary.
