After months of city council consideration of the issue of sex offender residency restrictions, Englewood still has such restrictions, but the council relaxed the restrictions and included an amendment allowing offenders currently living in the city to remain.

The council made the decision at the March 6 meeting when it took up the second and final reading of proposed changes to Englewood Title 9 of the city code Ordinance 34 that barred registered sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of schools, parks or playgrounds and within 1,000 feet of day care facilities, recreational centers or public swimming pools. The change adopted by the council makes all the distance restrictions uniform at 1,000 feet.

When the second reading came up on the agenda, each councilmember spoke about his or her position on the proposed change to the ordinance. There was general agreement that it was an emotional issue that would be a challenge to decide. All councilmembers said they had done research and talked to residents about the issue in order to prepare for the vote.

However the comments reflected different views on how to deal with the issue.

Councilmembers Rita Russell and Laurett Barrentine said the restrictions should be SEE RESIDENCY, P7

School district puts together long-range planning committee

MY NAME IS

SPENCER JACKSON

ACC student, snowboarder About me I’m a student at Arapahoe Community College and I’m working to transfer to School of Mines to study aerospace engineering. I was recently selected to attend NASA’s Community College Aerospace Scholars program at Johnson Space Center in Houston next month.

Moving to Colorado I’m from Kansas, but my family moved to Colorado in 2007. We moved to Alamosa, then to the Littleton area in 2012. I love living in Colorado and all of the experiences and activities that it has to offer. I don’t believe that there is any state that has more to offer its residents than Colorado.

What I miss most about Kansas is the nostalgia of childhood.

Why aerospace and engineering?

I have always been fascinated with the way things worked and figuring out the “why” behind it, but never realized it. A dream project that I would like to be a part of would be getting the human race to Mars. A personal dream would be to get to space myself.

My hobbies I enjoy snowboarding and working on my car. I like these hobbies

LPS panel will look at facilities, programs, transportation and more Spencer Jackson is an aspiring aerospace engineer and a snowboarder and car enthusiast.

COURTESY PHOTO because they are freeing to me. I’ve been snowboarding since I moved to Colorado, my favorite resort is Keystone. Wrenching on my car provides me with a feeling of accomplishment, and fulfillment when I am able to complete a project or tweak something to add just that little extra bit of power. I am an adrenaline junkie so pushing limits is exciting to me which is something I try to do with my car. Along with this, I drag race as much as I can. I have several project cars, the most notable of which is a 2004 SRT-4. I have worked on my skydiving certification as well, but due to my lack of time I haven’t been able to finish it. I have been several times and would one day like to be able to call skydiving a regular hobby of mine.

With population expected to continue to grow in the south metro area, Littleton Public Schools is starting to plan for the future.

The district is putting together a long-range planning committee that will be charged with reviewing facilities, program capacities, transportation routes and capital requirements and determining what improvements may be required in the next five to 10 years.

“It’s taking a step back and looking at where we need to be going toward,” district Chief Financial Officer Diane Doney said.

The 12 to 18 member committee will be made up of representatives from other LPS committees, parent-teacher organization members, members of the architectural and construction industry, school administrators and people from the community at-large. It will hold its first meeting next month, but the specific date and location have yet to be established. The membership

of the committee is yet to be finalized.

Doney hopes for the committee to make a presentation to the board of education in November.

“It will be preliminary,” she said. “I don’t think it will be a final product by any means.”

Some of the committee’s work is already underway — the district has contracted with consultants to perform studies of its demographic trends and enrollment forecasting.

Doney said that the committee will look at the state of school facilities, including if any will need a full renovation similar to Runyon Elementary School, which re-opened at the beginning of this school year after being closed for a year for a full interior remodel and roof replacement.

The members will also examine the potential for population growth within the district — which could necessitate building new schools — and growth outside of the district, which could affect traffic patterns through the district.

She specifically noted Sterling Ranch, the planned community near Roxborough State Park that is expected to house more than 30,000 residents upon completion, which should happen within the next 20 years.

“I’m concerned about the traffic that’s going to hit our major arteries going north,” she said.

Bipartisan measure seeking tax hike for transportation praised, panned STAFF REPORT

A bill introduced in the state Legislature by the Democratic speaker of the House and the Republican Senate president would seek voter approval to raise the state sales tax to help pay for Colorado’s transportation needs.

Colorado’s growing population and overburdened roadways have put transportation at the forefront of this legislative session, which began in January and ends in May. House Bill 1242, if approved at the Capitol, would request a 0.62 percent increase in the state sales tax on the November ballot, raising the tax to 3.52 percent.

A joint news release issued by House and Senate leadership said about $680 million would be generated, and much of that would be distributed to city and county governments for local transportation priorities.

Members of a coalition of business and community leaders called FixItCO applauded the introduction of HB 1242.

“The announcement today is good news for Coloradans,” said Arvada Mayor Marc Williams, who is the chairman of the Metro Mayors Caucus Transportation Task Force. “Without a significant investment in our infrastructure, our economy is at risk, our safety is at risk, and the cost to Colorado families in both time and money is increasing.”

The measure’s sponsors include House Speaker Crisanta Duran, DDenver, and Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City. But while it has bipartisan support, that doesn’t mean all Republicans in the Legislature are backing it.

House Republican Leader Patrick Neville, of Castle Rock, and Assistant House Republican Leader Cole Wist, of Centennial, came out strongly against HB 1242 on March 9, a day after the bill was introduced in the House.

“A $677 million tax increase is not the solution to Colorado’s problems and I will aggressively oppose the passage of this bill,” Neville said.

“I am very disappointed that House Republican leadership and the House Republican caucus was excluded from the discussions of this bill and expect

significant opposition from House Republicans as a result.”

Wist said the Legislature “needs to be spending time evaluating how it spends existing revenue” before it asks voters for a tax increase.

While Republicans hold the majority in the Senate, they are the minority in the House, which will make it tough to block the bill’s passage there.

The Colorado DepartDuran ment of Transportation issued a statement from Executive Director Shailen Bhatt on the bill, saying it shows promise.

“We look forward to evaluating the proposal and participating in the crafting of the final legisNeville lation,” he said. “Colorado’s state transportation system is faced with a $1 billion per year funding shortfall, which limits CDOT’s ability to address congestion, mobility, and safety challenges.

“This initiative has the potential to save lives and improve the state’s economic vibrancy. It will fund projects that address mobility issues on our major interstate highways as well as rural roads, add transit and transportation choice around the state, and provide local communities the flexibility and resources for their needs.”

A summary of the bill says the revenue generated from the tax increase would be used “solely for transportation infrastructure funding purposes.”

CDOT would be allocated $300 million annually for the state highway fund. Of the remaining money, 70 percent would go to counties and municipalities for local projects.

“Every county and city in Colorado will share in the benefits from this transportation package,” Duran said.

“And we will insist on transparency and accountability, so that voters will know where their dollars are going and how they will be used. This package ... would be a major step forward for this state and firmly position us for growth and prosperity for the next 20 years.”

Littleton Eagle Scout earns rare conservation award Heritage student becomes first Denver-area Scout to be awarded Hornaday Silver Medal

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Littleton Eagle Scout became the first in the Denver area to be awarded a prestigious scouting medal on March 6.

Cole Hancock, a Heritage High School senior, received the William T. Hornaday Silver Medal, named for the renowned conservationist and founder of the National Zoo. In order to earn the medal, Hancock undertook conservation projects that included planting new trees along the Littleton Crabapple Route, advocating in the state Legislature for the legalization of rooftop rainwater collection, building recycling bins for fishing line at two state parks and renovating a bird habitat.

“It was so much fun to set out and see the difference I could make in the community,” he said.

Hancock’s journey to earning the Hornaday Medal began when he was working on becoming an Eagle Scout four years ago. His project for that consisted of planting 78 new trees along the Crabapple Route — a sevenmile loop through the city lined with crabapple trees, roughly bordered by Prince and Elati streets on the west and east and on the north and south

by Shepperd Avenue and Rangeview Drive. The project included planning and writing grant applications.

During this process, he found out about the Hornaday Medal, and learned that fewer than 1,200 of the awards have been given nationally since 1914.

Earning the award would require four additional conservation-based projects. He began by continuing the work he did on Littleton’s crabapple

trees, planting an additional 30 and counting all of the nearly 7,000 of the trees in the city.

Hancock then leveraged his position on the Colorado Youth Advisory Council to advocate for water conservation legislation, culminating in the passage last year of House Bill 1005, which cleared the way for homeowners to collect rainwater in rooftop barrels.

Hancock’s third project was spurred by his love of fishing and problems

he noticed with wads of fishing line strewn across the ground at South Platte Park in Littleton and Golden Gate Canyon State Park in Jefferson County. He and other Scouts built and installed monofilament recycling containers at the parks to prevent birds and marine animals from becoming entangled in the lines.

His fourth and final project was to remove invasive weed species and build a stone pathway at a bird habitat garden for the Audubon Society of Greater Denver.

Hancock’s adviser on his medal projects, Bill Williams of the Boy Scouts of America Denver Area Council, said that between his Eagle Scout and the Hornaday projects, Hancock had probably contributed 1,500 hours of service to the community.

“This program was created to recognize those who have made significant contributions to conservation,” Williams said.

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, who attended Hancock’s medal ceremony at Ascension Lutheran Church in Littleton, lauded Hancock and the other Scouts present.

“I feel optimistic about America when I’m with you,” he said.

Hancock, who will attend a dualdegree program in international studies and business at the University of Pennsylvania next year, became the third Coloradan to be awarded the Hornaday Medal since its inception, and the first in the Denver Area Council.

“It was a great opportunity to test my expertise in different areas of conservation,” Hancock said.

C-470 and Broadway to close next week STAFF REPORT

Construction work will close C-470 at Broadway early next week, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

C-470 will be closed from 10 p.m.

March 19 until 5 a.m. March 20, while Broadway will also be closed from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. On C-470, traffic will detour on the on- and off-ramps to return to C-470. Northbound Broadway traffic will detour to University Boulevard and return to Broadway along C-470, while southbound traffic will detour to Lucent Boulevard and return to Broadway.

repealed while Mayor Pro Tem Rick Gillit and Councilmembers Amy Martinez and Steve Yates said they were in favor of the proposed changes to the ordinance. Councilmember Linda Olson said she would oppose passage of the ordinance and Mayor Joe Jefferson said he would not vote to approve the ordinance unless there was an amendment to “grandfather” sex offenders now living in the city, which would exempt those sex offenders from the residency restrictions.

Jefferson’s comments triggered a discussion about a possible grandfather clause. When councilmember comments concluded, Gillit moved to adopt an amendment to the proposal to make sex offenders now living in the city exempt from the residency restrictions.

“No one wants to force anyone to move out of their homes and this law could do that,” he said.

He then said he was proposing the amendment because he felt it was the fair thing to do.

“Therefore I will propose the grandfather clause amendment,” he said. “I do want a clear understanding that any sex offender moving into Englewood after this ordinance becomes law in 30 days be notified that the city has sex offender residency restrictions that apply to them.”

Jefferson said the proposal wasn’t perfect but it resolves the problem.

The vote on the amendment was 6-1 with Olson voting no. The vote on the ordinance as amended was 7-0.

Englewood resident Brian Brockhausen initially brought the issue to the council last August. He is a registered sex offender. He told the council he had completed his time in prison and returned to live with his parents and

widening work on the C-470 overpass at Broadway, part of the expansion of the highway that got underway late last year. The project will add toll lanes, with two of them westbound between I-25 and Colorado and one from Colorado to Wadsworth Boulevard, and one eastbound toll lane from Platte Canyon Road to I-25.

In addition to the express lanes, upgrades will include pavement reconstruction, auxiliary lanes at certain locations, curve realignment, widening or replacement of bridges and grade separations for the C-470 multi-use trail that runs parallel to the freeway. Work is expected to be completed in 2019.

brothers but was told by police that he could be required to leave the city under the residency restrictions.

“I feel the March 6 council decision is bittersweet,” he said March 8. “It is good to know I won’t have to move out of Englewood but I want to see more done.

I believe the law will continue to be challenged in court until it is declared unconstitutional.”

He said he is glad the council took some action but he was looking for more closure and the repeal of the ordinance.

The city council has been dealing with the issue of the city’s sex offender residency restriction for about seven months. In that time there have been frequent discussions; a number of residents have spoken to council urging repeal of the ordinance; and there has been a volume of testimony by those associated with sex offender rehabilitation that residency restrictions do nothing to protect the community or possible victims of sexual abuse.

The ordinance gives the police department the authority to require any registered sex offender to move out of any restricted area within 30 days or face arrest. Englewood is one of six Colorado communities with sexual offender residency restrictions.

Late last year attorney Alison Ruttenberg, representing plaintiffs Brockhausen, Allen Toner and Larry Cook, took the issue to district court, first seeking a preliminary injunction prohibiting enforcement of the ordinance. That was denied and then she sought a permanent injunction which also was denied.

Plans had been to continue court action and file a lawsuit in district court.

“I believe the changes to the ordinance make the lawsuit moot and the case will be dismissed,” Ruttenberg said March 8. “However I do not have all the information about the ordinance change so I can’t say that is what will happen.”

Mother took two sons from home of grandparents

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A woman whose actions triggered an Amber Alert after she took her two sons from their grandparents’ Englewood home has been sentenced to probation and treatment.

Rebecca Dinapoli, who had faced two charges of second-degree kidnapping and two charges of violation of an order, entered a guilty plea to violation of a custody order, a class 5 felony.

The Lone Tree resident entered the plea when she appeared in Arapahoe County District Court on March 6 for arraignment. Judge J. Stephen Collins accepted Dinapoli’s plea and sentenced her to four years of supervised probation to include drug evaluation and treatment and mental health evaluation and treatment. The action closes the case and she was released from custody. She is not allowed contact with her two sons.

The charges date back to early January when Dinapoli illegally took her two sons, ages 12 and 8, from the Englewood home of their grandparents. The grandparents had been awarded temporary custody of the children by a Douglas County magistrate, who also ordered Dinapoli not to have any contact with the two boys.

The case began in the early morning hours of Jan. 8 when the grandfather of the boys said he was preparing to fly to New York to attend a custody hearing and had the boys ready to go with him.

However, according to the arrest affidavit, the boys went out on the porch of the home on South Galapago Street, and when their grandfather went to check on them he saw Dinapoli driving away with the children in a car.

The grandfather called Englewood police and detectives investigated the case and issued an Amber Alert. They also contacted the FBI and the Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

About 10 p.m. Jan. 8, Englewood officers received a tip that Dinapoli and the children were in a home in the 5700 block of South Pennsylvania Street. Officers went to the address and arrested Dinapoli. The children were returned to their grandparents.

‘Eye of the Camera’ back for 51st time Show at Littleton Museum runs through March 26

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The 2017 juror for Littleton’s 51st Annual Eye of the Camera Photography Exhibition was Randy Brown, who has taught at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, RMCAD, for seven years. He also runs a photography business and works on multiple photography projects in the U.S. and abroad.

He aims to challenge his viewers, “providing opportunities to explore works that address conceptual ideas about being human,” according to his artist statement, and this would seem to hold true for his selection of images, in color and black and white,

It runs at the Littleton Museum until March 26 and is part of Denver’s expansive Month of Photography.

Brown’s choice for Best of Show-Color is “Peacock,” by Steven Caulfield of Lakewood. In brilliant colors, it appears to be in motion. Caulfield wrote: “I want my photos to be abstract art. I want people to look at my images and be challenged. I want them to question, is this really a photograph? Lots of photographs you see are not pure photographs, but manipulated images using Photoshop; many are multiple

Preservationists expound on Littleton Boulevard assets Tomasso, Paglia give report on survey of buildings, context

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Preservation consultant Diane Tomasso and her longtime consultant, Michael Paglia, a writer on arts and architecture (including a weekly column in Westword), spoke to members of Historic Littleton Inc. on Feb. 22 about the survey they have started on Littleton Boulevard Corridor’s historic buildings and context. The survey is funded by History Colorado for the City of Littleton.

The program was at an empty storefront in the 1950s Woodlawn Shopping Center.

The two experts completed a similar survey in Boulder, and Tomasso has written a book, “The Historic Context of Littleton, 1949 to 1967,” which relates to this survey, as well as surveyed Arapaho Hills, the MidCentury Modern housing development on Littleton’s west side. They formed the Mid-Century Modern Preservation League, active in the 1990s, and she spoke at a Colorado Preservation Inc. meeting, with a video on Colorado’s “most endangered” historic buildings in 2014.

The period covered represents the

PHOTO BY MIKE YOST time of Littleton’s greatest growth, with the arrival of Martin Marietta and Ohio Oil (later called Marathon Oil). There was a 1960 plan, with much land zoned residential and a postwar building boom, which they illustrated with slides shot from architect Joseph Marlow’s Title Guarantee building (with colorful tile work on its eastern wall), now Intergroup Inc. architects, 2000 W. Littleton Blvd.).

This building is especially worthy of National Trust recognition, they said. Other buildings of note: Eugene Strernberg’s Courthouse Professional Building, 2009 W. Littleton Blvd.; Mountain States Telephone, designed by Temple Buell; Marlow’s Littleton Savings and Loan, with its distinctive screen of metal circles; Littleton Law Center, by Sternberg; and Sterne’s IREA Building, demolished for the Grove development.

“Our task is to take a look, put in social history and context,” Tomasso said. Some have not been surveyed before, such as the “extremely important Norgren Property, by architect Arthur Bush, still internationally prominent, completely ignored,” (by Littleton).

Paglia added that those mentioned were the top tier, particularly the Marlow buildings. The pair will survey from the Littleton Courthouse to Broadway in several blocks on both sides of Littleton Boulevard. They are “mostly interested in the top tier — a very valuable resource.”

A major goal is to come out with a top tier, and try for another grant to get them landmarked. Perhaps a not-necessarily contiguous historic district, such as Denver has, is a possibility. They both were saddened by the loss of the old Littleton Clinic (Sternberg’s first) and the IREA, but encouraged by Littleton’s strong qualities. (The survey will not deal with houses.) “You can read Littleton like a book,” Paglia concluded, focusing in the city’s postwar history.

“They came to us because of the Boulder study,” Tomasso concluded.

“Boulder and Littleton have the most outstanding collections built in the period. Many of the original 65 here are that still standing.”

There will be another lecture when the survey project is completed.

Watch for a notice.

Cullen Murphy talks to Deputy Brian McKnight on March 9 at Coffee with a Cop in Centennial. Murphy wanted to talk about how to react to the situation of a bad guy walking into Murphy’s school. McKnight talked with Cullen for over half an hour about the run, hide, fight, treat, recover program taught in schools.

Coffee with a Cop pours into community, hard questions answered Event allows for young citizens to sip hot chocolate and ask questions

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When elementary school student Cullen Murphy asked his mom, “What do I do if a bad guy comes to my school with

a gun,” his mother wanted to make sure he received the best answer.

On March 9, Cullen’s mother let him skip school in the morning so he could directly interact with a deputy at the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office’s Coffee with a Cop event in Centennial.

“His concept was, I know what Spider-Man would do, but I can’t do that,” Deputy Brian McKnight said.

At the Starbucks at 5070 E. Arapahoe Road, McKnight sat down with Cullen and his mother for more than

half an hour to explain the run, hide, fight, treat, recover program taught in schools.

“If the bad guy has fear, he has control,” McKnight said to Cullen.

Across the room, three elementaryaged brothers, Ryan, Eli and Aiden Brown ooh-ed and ah-ed as Sheriff David Walcher showed the crowd the tools on his belt.

“I liked knowing what was on his belt,” Ryan said. “I really liked his Taser.”

The boys laughed and listened as Walcher talked to the brothers.

“It was fun to hear our questions being answered,” Aiden said. “I wanted to know if he liked being a cop.”

Citizens met with law enforcement through the morning, asking questions and getting to know the people who keep their communities safe.

“Law-abiding citizens really love what we do,” Walcher said. “At a local level, we can make a difference in our community.”

Open houses will address changes to regional airspace STAFF REPORT

The Federal Aviation Administration has scheduled 11 public information workshops in April and May to provide information to the public concerning proposed airspace improvements in the Denver metro area.

A component of the Denver Metroplex project, the changes will use streamlined satellite navigation to move air traffic more safely and efficiently through the region. Existing air routes may be modified with new satellite-guided routes.

Community feedback from these workshops will help the agency determine whether changes to the preliminary designs are needed.

The Denver Metroplex project, one of 12 such projects across the United States, includes Denver International Airport, Centennial Airport, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, Buckley Air Force Base, Northern Colorado Regional Airport, Front Range Airport and GreeleyWeld County Airport.

The workshops will be held in the evenings in an open-house format. Citizens can arrive any time during the publicized time range to learn about proposed improvements from FAA representatives. Preliminary route designs will be displayed on poster boards and iPads.

Spanish interpreters will be provided if city officials request them at least one

week before the event.

More information on the project is available at metroplexenvironmental. com/denver_metroplex/denver_introduction.html and faa.gov/nextgen/communityengagement/den.

Workshops will be held as follows: • Aurora: 6 to 8:30 p.m., April 4, Aurora Municipal Building Lobby, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway • Denver: 5 to 7:30 p.m., April 6, Green Valley Ranch Recreation Center, Community Room B, 4890 N.

Laws providing freedom of information are important to democracy

unshine is good for democracy.

At least that’s what we journalists think, and the Founding Fathers seemed to agree, judging by the First Amendment.

March 12-18 is Sunshine Week — an annual, nationwide celebration of access to public information. News agencies across the country are using this week to help share the message that transparency in government is important, that a free and independent press is important, and that the defense and

adherence to sunshine laws helps support those ideals.

Sunshine laws refer to the national Freedom of Information Act and any number of state open-record and openmeeting laws that help we, the people, keep tabs on what those in power are doing.

While these laws directly affect how well journalists can do our jobs, those same laws are intended for all citizens’ benefit. It can be a way for concerned folks to do their part to keep govern-

ment honest. Recent examples include a parent in Jefferson County who wanted to know which teachers had participated in a sick-out that affected their child’s education and an Arvada man who objected to his city council’s use of a secret ballot to elect a new councilmember.

Filing an open-records request is something anyone can do. It requires filling out a formal request — a template can be found on the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition’s

website at coloradofoic.org — that must be turned in to the government entity’s records custodian. Some agencies have their own forms.

Of course, journalists use these tools, too. Within the past year, Colorado Community Media reporters submitted public records requests — per the Colorado Open Records Act, often known as CORA — for, among other things, the salaries of high-ranking SEE INFORMATION, P15

t is probably fair to say that none of us likes to be disrupted. We really don’t like to be disrupted when we are engaged in a project or important conversation. Untimely disruptions in our workflow or in our conversations can even lead us to the point of frustration and anger.

In 1995 the term “disruptive technology” was introduced to the business world. And following “disruptive technology” came “disruptive force,” and “disruptive innovation.” All pointing toward the development of a product or service that will disrupt the status quo in the way we do business.

These would usually start out small or slowly, and then change the way the entire world does business, communicates, thinks, and behaves.

As I listened to a speaker talk about the concept of disruptiveness in the business world, and even for the general population, I couldn’t help but think of my own status quo or comfort zone.

What could I do in my own life that would be disruptive to the way I go about working and living? After all, I really am a routine kind of guy. I usually do not deviate from my day-to-day plans as they have been successful so far. I know what I like and

Let’s all go beyond the bubble to help create a better community

A

GUEST COLUMN

s most of us have heard, some of the political divide in our country over the last year has been attributed to what we’re seeing on our social media streams or what we’re listening to on the TV or radio.

The more targeted the social media algorithms, the narrower our circle of online friends. We’re seeing fewer posts of people unlike ourselves, potentially thinking and believing differently than us. With more conservative and liberal leaning press outlets available, we now have more options to watch or listen to only the news with a slant to our liking. Even worse is the increase of fake news articles purposely meant to derail the truth, distract us from real news and disparage certain people.

This might have made us more comfortable and happy little campers in our own “thought bubbles,” but what has it done for us as humans, as persons of a broader community? Although we can cheer or mostly agree with our like-minded friends and tailored news anchors, how has that helped us individually or as a society?

Yes, we’re able to commune with our like-minded close friends and family or television sets and radio

stations. We’re able to confirm there are others like us who believe in the same values, find out about news or events that we want to read or attend.

Yes, we get that sense of belonging with that close network.

On the flip side, Linda Newell what are we not seeing or hearing about that might be really important to our own lives?

What news is being covered on other stations that might be relevant to our own livelihood, health, rights, government, business, schools?

Is anyone concerned that they’re potentially in the dark about what’s actually happening in our world?

And how many Facebook friends have you “unfriended” just because you disagreed politically?

We’re now not only disconnecting with online “friends,” but also separating ourselves from family members just to avoid the conflict of a potential political argument. How is it helping our world to disconnect from each other, especially those who think differently than we

We need sideline reporters, who are mostly nice-looking haircuts, like we need to watch a giraffe 24 hours a day prior to giving birth.

But that’s where we are. We wander out of the lane of what matters most all of the time.

We are easily distracted.

When did that start to happen?

I might be looking at the reason, right here in my office.

I don’t write one of these nonstop, like columnists did at one time, in a smoke-filled news room.

Messages are checked, I walk the dog, find out how the Bruins did last night (they trounced Washington), write to Jennifer, beg a friend to get me under-the-table Colorado Symphony Yo-Yo Ma tickets, arrange a special gift for my best friend’s 70th birthday, reminisce about meeting him 57 freaking years ago, and change Roger’s water.

do? Diversity of thought has been proven throughout history to launch paradigm shifts in society, cultural movements in our communities, and build innovative projects in business. Let alone, create communities living in peace.

So what do we do? How do we get outside our thinking limited to our own perspective?

Watch and read varied news occasionally— see a perspective from a different channel or station to be as fully informed as possible.

Reach out to “unlike” friends and family — ask questions of your family and friends rather than making assumptions and judgments. Find out what their values are behind their beliefs. Why do they believe the way they do, and how might we be able to find common values we share?

Only with fuller information and

better understanding of each other will we be able to create a better society.

INFORMATION FROM PAGE 12

Douglas County School District employees and the names of the finalists for the Lone Tree police chief position.

Sunshine laws also help set expectations for elected officials and government staff, helping to encourage a mindset of transparency and honesty that benefits all of us.

Recently, one of our reporters noticed that the Adams County Board of Commissioners seemed to turn off the audio recorder occasionally during their public study sessions. The county called these pauses in the recording “administrative review items.”

In checking with the state’s open meetings law, we found that since Adams County officials were not making decisions during any part of their study sessions, they were not required by law to record any of it. We applaud Adams County for going above the requirements of state law — other counties don’t record study or work sessions

something that could start out small and slow, and then take traction, and build momentum over time.

Something that would help me achieve a higher level of

— even as we ask them to reconsider turning off the mic for those administrative items.

Not every section of government we cover is quite so good at following the spirit, or even the letter, of the law.

Jefferson County Schools is amid a national search for a new superintendent, the second such search in two years. Last time, as with this time, neither the hiring firm, Ray and Associates, nor the school district intends to release the names of the finalists.

That’s a problem because any official decision made by a public board is supposed to be done in public. But in Jeffco Schools’ case, a prior school board merely announced whom it had hired after the fact.

It also seems in clear violation of the state’s open meetings law: “The state or local public body shall make public the list of all finalists under consideration for the position of chief executive officer no later than fourteen days prior to appointing or employing one of the finalists to fill the position.”

In honesty, many of Colorado’s cities, counties and school districts ignore

success in my personal life, my business life, and my spiritual life.

So in the past the word “disruption” or “being disrupted” always carried a kind of negative connotation for me. Now I welcome it, I look for new ways and ideas of doing even the simplest of tasks. Although usually very

curious by nature, the whole idea of looking for productive disruptions in my life has led me even greater curiosity and I find myself asking even more questions than I normally would because now instead of avoiding disruptions I am seeking them out.

Not just any disruptions, but productive disruptions.

this portion of the law, according to Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition Executive Director Jeff Roberts.

Another place where we often see a lack of transparency is from law enforcement agencies that seem far too quick to cite an “ongoing investigation” as a way of not giving more information about a case.

The law — the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act — does allow agencies to hold back information that would be “contrary to the public interest” if it were released. We take this to mean that releasing the information could jeopardize an investigation. And certainly, sometimes there are details that could do so. But so little is released so often that “ongoing investigation” seems to have become an easy blanket answer that dodges the harder question officers should be asking: What information can we give out now for the public’s benefit that doesn’t really affect the course of the investigation?

Law enforcement agencies are not alone in being protected from having to release certain kinds of information.

City, county and school board officials cannot, for example, release details of personnel matters or specifics of board discussions regarding real estate negotiations. But when an agency rejects handing over the information, by law, it must cite the statute that allows them to do so. You see, it is presumed that the information belongs to the public and the entity must state the reason why it is denying the request.

That is why while we can sympathize that a potential candidate for a city manager or superintendent position might not want their current employers to know they’ve been job hunting, that potential job is still paid for through our tax dollars. Also, that position has a direct and powerful impact on our communities. It is our right to know who we are considering to hire, and to know that our elected officials are making those choices.

So go ahead and enjoy all that great Colorado sunshine, and help it spread far and wide by supporting a trusted news source, or by serving as a watchdog yourself. You’ll be doing democracy a favor.

So how about you? Are you benefiting from the disruptive technologies, forces, and innovations that continue to be found or developed? Could you use a little productive disruption in your own life?

Either way I would love to hear all about it as gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can allow ourselves to be

open to new ideas and ways of doing things at home or at work, it really will be a better than good week.

‘Our spirituality is unbounded’

Dave Lukaszewski helps lead a “Death Cafe” following a Sunday service at Prairie Unitarian Universalist Church in Parker, where members discuss the taboo topic of death to make it more comfortable for people, Lukaszewski said.

Unitarian Universalists offer a culture of acceptance

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

he rule for Unitarian Universalists is that there are virtually no rules.

Yes, there are seven key principles — you can’t believe anything you want, which ministers say is a common misconception about the belief system.

But there is no creed. There is no set explanation for God or the afterlife. Instead, everyone has their own definition.

“It’s about how we live together,” said Eric Banner, associate minister at Jefferson Unitarian Church in Golden. “Not what we believe at this moment to be true.”

“Our spirituality is unbounded, drawing from scripture and science, nature and philosophy, personal experience and ancient tradition,” says the Unitarian Universalist Association website.

Banner, originally from Kansas, is a born-and-raised Unitarian Universalist. He said the lack of a creed can be confusing to outsiders, as it doesn’t follow the typical tradition of religions.

To help explain, he thinks back to growing up as a Unitarian Universalist. It was a challenge, he said.

THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISTS Unitarian Universalist congregations may not preach a specific creed, but they do follow seven key principles. The principles are drawn from numerous sources, such as science, poetry, scripture and personal experience. They are not meant to be doctrine, rather, strongly held guidelines.

The seven principles are: • First Principle: The inherent worth and dignity of every person.

• Second Principle: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations.

• Third Principle: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to

spiritual growth in our congregations.

• Fourth Principle: A free and responsible search for truth and meaning • Fifth Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.

Society will tell you what’s valuable — money, nice things, a good job — but being Unitarian Universalist is about taking a step back.

“The story we teach is that it’s primarily first and foremost how we live and love the people around us,” he said.

It’s also about faithfully seeking the truth, although Unitarian Universalists don’t believe they will ever know all the answers.

• Sixth Principle: The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all.

• Seventh Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

Source: Unitarian Universalist Association at www.uua.org.

“What you know about the ultimate, what you know about the essence of life, is a piece of the truth,” he said.

Finding faith Dave Lukaszewski, of Parker, became a Unitarian Universalist three years ago. The Wisconsin native was raised Catholic, but became distant from religion following college.

“When you’re a kid, you just go along with what your parents do,” he said. “Until you get your own identity.”

Before finding Unitarianism, he explored like-minded faiths.

Lukaszewski, now retired, built a career as an aerospace engineer.

In 1981, he and his family moved to Denver. Lukaszewski would eventually meet his second wife, who attended the Mile Hi Church, a spiritual community in Lakewood.

He then helped found the Center for Spiritual Living in Castle Rock, which teaches the Science of the Mind philosophy that religion and science support one another.

While Lukaszewski was still attending the Center for Spiritual Living, his wife attended a service at the Prairie Unitarian Universalist Church in Parker, and afterward convinced Lukaszewski to give it a try.

He loved that they played music and sang hymns, but what really got his attention was an open mic session called “Candles of Community” that allowed people to share with the congregation a joy or a sorrow.

The catharsis of concerts and crowds

T

here was a time, not all that long ago, when the idea of a concert going all night wouldn’t give me anxiety about getting enough sleep for LINER work the next day, NOTES and the idea of jumping around with a bunch of strangers wouldn’t make me tired hours before the show even started.

That’s aging, I suppose.

So even though I was excited to Clarke Reader go see the purest rock band around, Japandroids, at the Gothic Theatre on March 7, the fact that the show didn’t start until 9 p.m. (and that was just the opener, mind you) almost caused me to not go.

But three hours later, I spilled out of the venue fierce, alive and fired up — all aftereffects of the high that only a really great live show can give you.

A brief primer — Japandroids is the Vancouver-based duo of Brian King on guitars and lead vocals and David Prowse on drums and backing vocals. Over the course of three albums, they have perfected a kind of anthem rock that owes as

know people,” he said. “When I saw this ‘Candles of Community,’ it really inspired me that this may be a place where I can really be with a group of people and really get to know them more than on just a superficial level, just saying `hi’ on Sundays.”

Plus, he said, it was a progressive religion. Everyone had different beliefs, but to them that was fine.

“We learn from each other,” he said.

“We can accept the different belief systems and still get along.”

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Valerie June’s “The Order of Time,” released on Concord records.

Review: June has the kind of voice you don’t forget once you hear it — syrupy, raspy and drenched in Appalachian folk and soul. Her long-awaited sophomore release is even better than her debut — her pen is sharper and her musical vocabulary has grown by leaps and

much to The Replacements as Bruce Springsteen. Their songs are filled with what King playfully referred to as “sing along factor” several times during the performance — “oh yeahs” and “all rights” that sound fantastic when shouted by an audience having the time of their lives.

The band’s most recent album, “Near to the Wild Heart of Life,” is its most adventurous and layered work yet — a celebration of love, the open road and the unlimited possibilities of being alive. It has taken some flack because this joyful noise was released a week after Donald Trump was sworn in as president, ushering in a time when many feel anything but hopeful about the future. When you’re feeling scared or sad, music that explodes out of your speaker can often be the exact opposite of what you may want to hear.

But looking out on the sea of people shouting along the lyrics with their hands in the air, I was reminded that music doesn’t need to be political or topical to accomplish a vital goal — bringing people together.

This magic ability was emphasized by show-opener, and leader of The Hold Steady, Craig Finn who commended the audience for ignoring the many, many things in modern society that keep us at home, and instead going to a rock show.

“You’re seeing old friends, or making new ones,” he said. “Being together is the big thing.”

As I felt myself get swept up in the music with my fellow concertgoers, the truth of this became thrillingly clear. None of us were shouting at each other about what the government was or wasn’t doing, or looking

A diverse community Jann Halloran, minister at Prairie Unitarian Universalist Church for 17 years, says the church’s progressive nature is what attracts many to the faith, but it can catch some by surprise.

“When people join our church I make sure they understand that since the 1970s we’ve been supporting gay and lesbian, transgender rights. We have a Black Lives Matter banner in our sanctuary,” she said.

If they’re uncomfortable with that, they may be uncomfortable with other aspects of the community.

bounds. June seamlessly blends folk, R&B, blues and sprinkles in a little pop, just for flavor. This is an album made to be played from front to back, and it rewards every listen.

neys and I know that sometimes we’re not the right fit,” she said.

The American Unitarian Association was founded in 1825, and the Universalist Church of America was founded in 1973. In 1961, the two consolidated, according to the Unitarian Universalist Association.

Both churches had roots in Christianity.

Although all Unitarian churches are different, it is a space where different beliefs are respected, members say.

Some members are atheist. Some come from traditional Christian backgrounds, others Buddhism.

Halloran, for example, was raised

at each other with distrust. Every time my eyes met another’s, we were both smiling, and we were all speaking the same words. United.

So take a moment to go out to a concert or movie or a gallery, and experience art with other people.

It doesn’t have to be this kind of music, although the catharsis that comes from a really loud rock show cannot be overstated. It’s just something you enjoy, that you can experience with others.

And take the advice of Japandroids in their song, “In A Body Like A Grave”: “So break the bank like you’re breaking a bill And love so hard that time stands still If your name is shame, though your love is loss Swap the city’s lights for the southern cross Gather the gang and make that night.”

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he knows what the nights of wine and roses hold. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com. And share your favorite concert experiences at creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

Southern Baptist but today believes God is not a being or a trinity, but rather a spirit that means something different to each person.

On the political front, Halloran is pro-choice and believes in climate change. And while not all of those in her congregation agree, Unitarian Universalism is a way they can bond nonetheless.

Differences don’t divide Unitarian Universalists, but rather unite them, she said, and it allows progressives to stay connected with their faith.

“If you ever want the liberal religious perspective on something,” she said, “we are the people to contact.”

Englewood’s Art Shuttle set for 2017 City-RTD partnership approved for 13th year of free shuttle bus service

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood City Council action March 6 assured that Art Shuttle buses continue to run throughout 2017.

This will be the 13th year of the bus service that began as a grant program.

It also marks the 10th anniversary of the shuttle as a city-Regional Transportation District partnership.

The free bus travels a 19-stop, threemile circuit from the light rail station, through central Englewood, to the Swedish/Craig campus area. The return route wends its way through downtown to the light rail station.

The shuttle is in operation Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. with a bus scheduled to arrive at each stop about every 15 minutes.

Englewood resident Sylvia Harkness said she was riding the bus March 10 to her doctor’s appointment.

“I depend on this little bus a lot,” the 67-year-old said. “It is really important to me because I don’t drive any longer and don’t have anyone to drive me to appointments and shopping. I don’t

A woman boards the Art Shuttle at the Englewood Civic Center stop. The free bus follows a circular route that begins and ends at the civic center. Last year about 180,000 rode the bus.

TOM MUNDS have money to take a cab all the time so I really am grateful for the free bus.

It helps me get around.”

Jose Cortez-Herrera said the bus was a blessing for him as he waited for it at City Center.

“I can’t afford a car or the cost of having a car so I use public transportation everywhere I go,” he said. “I just recently moved here from Texas.

I work in downtown Denver, so I ride the bus to the end of the line and take light rail to work. If it wasn’t for the bus, I would have a very long walk every day. It is even nicer that the bus is free.”

This is the third month Kelly Ganzorla has been driving the Art Shuttle.

“I like driving the route and it can be fun,” she said. “Just about all the people who ride the bus are nice.

There are a lot of regular riders and I like the fact I get to know many of them.”

The shuttle began operation in September 2004, thanks to a federal grant that funded 80 percent of the cost of the project When the three-year grant ran out, the city worked out the agreement with RTD to cover the cost of keeping the buses running.

The first full year of operation, 2005, the annual ridership was about 160,000. In 2016, the total ridership was about 183,000.

The service continues because the city council approved an agreement so RTD pays the lion’s share of the $376,440 it takes to provide the service for a year. Under the agreement,

RTD pays MV Public Transportation $336,804 to manage, operate and maintain the service. Under the same agreement, the city reimburses RTD $65,084, which is the estimated fare box revenue that would have been collected had fares been collected.

The city also provides the fuel for the buses and RTD reimburses the city for those costs.

The council discussed the intergovernmental agreement with RTD on first reading on Feb. 21. The March 6 agenda was for second and final reading of the ordinance, and it passed 5-2, with Councilmembers Laurette Barrentine and Rita Russell voting no.

Mayor Joe Jefferson said he supported approval of the ordinance because Englewood was fortunate to have a free shuttle.

“The bus provides a great service for our residents and the service can continue because RTD pays the bulk of the cost of operation,” he said.

Councilmember Steve Yates agreed.

“We have a great deal for what it costs the city to provide this service,” he said. “It is a very effective service to assist many of our residents who might not get around any other way.”

The name refers to “edgy” design as well as the fact that these Amur tigers, largest living members of the cat family, are on the edge of extinction, but can be saved by careful conservation. (Fewer than 400 remain in the wild.) Elevated lofts will allow tigers to stride above visitors’ heads.

Tough schedule tests Lions early in season Littleton coach wants to prepare team for league play

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton soccer coach Terry Banfield believes that to beat the best teams you have to play the best teams.

So the Lions, a Class 4A team, are facing a rugged non-league schedule, which opened March 9 with a 4-1 loss to 5A Chaparral at Echo Park Automotive Stadium in Parker.

After a game against Pomona, the Lions faced Arapahoe in the Warrior Invitational, held March 15-17 at Littleton Public Schools

Smiles tell the story Valor Christian senior Kayle Knuckles didn’t play competitive basketball until he was a freshman. He instead participated in football, baseball and lacrosse.

He proved to be a quick learner, earning Most Valuable Player honors in the Class 4A Final Four with 32 points and 12 rebounds in the Eagles’ 68-55 championship game victory over Lewis-Palmer on March 11.

“I started playing basketball in eighth grade but freshman year was when I started playing competitive basketball,” Knuckles said. “I never really liked basketball until I played it.”

Valor Christian coach Troy Pachner enjoyed watching Knuckles develop his basketball skills.

“He’s a natural athlete but he works at it and brings great joy to the sport,” he said.

“It’s a game that is supposed to be fun and we sometimes overlook that. Kayle is a guy that you can’t get a smile off his face.”

ustin McCaw sat on the floor following ThunderRidge’s Class 5A semifinal loss to George Washington and absorbed a tough American basketball lesson.

It was one of those agony-of-defeat moments OVERTIME on March 10.

McCaw, a 6-foot-2 junior from Kapfenberg, Austria, lives with his uncle Terrel Respass and moved to the United States to learn, both on the basketball court and in the classroom.

“I really want to go to Jim Benton college,” he said.

It took a little time for McCaw, who has dual citizenship because his father is an P American citizen, to adjust to basketball in the United States after playing club ball in b Kapfenberg. a “It was harder than expected,” said Mct Caw, who speaks fluent English. “It was a P big adjustment from the European style of F basketball. That’s why I didn’t score a lot at the beginning of the season. I played on a great team that had my back. With these guys, after time, it was easy to adjust.”

McCaw averaged 8.5 points and 3.2 rebounds a game but scored in double digits in 12 of the last 17 games.

“I’m way better than at the start of the season,” McCaw said. “Actually, I don’t think I’m better, just more confident. I could make the plays in Austria and make big 3s. Taking charges is the worst thing ever. That was the biggest adjustment. We really didn’t have charges in Austria.

“I still haven’t adjusted. I still go into the lane with my full body contact, full speed and guys take charges on me all the time.”

McCaw will keep learning next season.

Plus he plans to run track this spring and go out for football next fall.

league, we’re not going to be surprised. We’ve played top 5A teams so let’s play top 4A teams and kind of use that experience we’ve had in the preseason with non-league games.”

Littleton fell behind 2-0 against Chaparral but a goal by Sarah Gray in the 51st minute pulled the Lions close. But the Wolverines added two more goals in the final 21 minutes of the game.

“We know we are playing good teams,” Banfield said. “Chaparral is a great team. We are rebuilding, we lost our defense and nine seniors. I felt it was a great learning experience against

Chaparral. I was really pleased. The first half we learned our lessons and we put them into play the second half and it was a much better game.”

Banfield knows Littleton may take some losses early to prepare the team for remainder of the season.

“We build every game,” he said. “We were just saying in the locker room, we learned lots of lessons in the first half against Chaparral. We came out in the second half and showed we did learn those lessons.

“So if we can do that within one game, now we get training and if we learn that quickly I’m pretty excited.

I’m really excited for the season. This is a great group of girls with good leadership.”

However, Faith Christian’s incredible run to the 3A boys championship game should be noted.

The Eagles, seeded 13th, beat previously undefeated Resurrection Christian in the second round and edged top-seeded Kent Denver, 50-48, in the semifinals when Johan Garner scored the final six points to push the Arvada school into the finals against Sterling.

The production, directed by Rick Yaconis, claims to have “12 hilarious vaudeville and burlesque acts” which feature Sherrill (Chauncy Miles), John Ashton as straight comedian Ephram and four showgirl dancer-singers: Patty Ionoff (Sylvie), Emily Tuckman (Carmen), Amy Gray (Joan) and Emily Gomes (Rose).

In that period in the U.S. and elsewhere, it was dangerous to be gay, and Chauncey is eventually arrested.

Short scenes are woven together by a set that alternates between the stage backdrop: a large gold frame around a painted curtain, like one would have found in a turn-of-thecentury burlesque theater; a New York automat and Chauncey’s apartment, revealed when the theater curtain is drawn aside (clever solution to limited space).

Perhaps 12 vaudeville and burlesque acts are a few too many — the play runs long and has a less-than-comical ending — but it presents a picture of American entertainers during and following the Great Depression. This is a regional premiere for “The Nance” and The Edge is to be admired for bringing on edgy, new material.
