Developer outlines proposed housing project Neighborhood meeting focuses on traffic impact, density at old General Iron Works site

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com At a March 16 informational meeting about proposed residential construction on the northwest portion of the former General Iron Works property, neighbors asked the developer questions about unit sizes, traffic impact and green space.

Builders, explained details of the proposed project and fielded questions from the audience of about 25 who attended the meeting at Mayflower Church.

The project will be bordered by Bates Avenue and Elati Street. When asked about the traffic impact, Foy said study results estimate about a 30 percent increase in traffic on Elati and Galapago streets, and about a 20 percent increase in traffic on Bates and Dartmouth avenues.

The proposed project uses most of the available land for housing, and Foy said Project continues on Page 16

Nothing lax about lacrosse South Suburban league draws men for competition and camaraderie

By Tom Skelley Special to Colorado Community Media It’s Tuesday night at Family Sports Center on Arapahoe Road. An intermittent droning throbs from planes

descending into Centennial Airport.

Men leave their cars, SUVs and pickup trucks and walk through the doors of the Sports Dome, some on their own, some in groups of two or three. By day, their occupations range from teachers to executives to laborers.

But tonight, they are warriors.

And they come from as far away as Colorado Springs to play in South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s weekly Adult

HELLO

...

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

KELLY KALISZEWSKI My background I’ve lived in Littleton for 20 years, I moved from Hunntington Beach, California. Three months ago, I opened my store, Zoey’s Place Natural Pet Market.

Why a pet supply store?

Number one, I love animals. I’m a huge animal lover. I’ve been in this industry for

15 years. I’ve been involved with shelters and was on the board of directors for the Humane Society for two years.

My pets I have four pit bulls: Zoey, Pirate, Bear and Eddie. I named the store after Zoey.

“Pirate’s Place” sounded kind of gnarly, and “Eddie’s Place” sounded like a bar.

Zoey actually has a following. She has a Facebook page, we raise awareness about pet cancer, and she’s traveled across the country with me.

For fun I like to hike with my dogs, I like to cuddle with my dogs, I do pretty much everything with my dogs.

Children at Centennial Academy of Fine Arts Education take the “Pacer promise” before the beginning of a school day. The pledge is part of the school’s Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports program. Photo courtesy of Centennial Academy of Fine Arts Education

Three simple rules guide the behavior of students at Centennial Academy of Fine Arts Education: be respectful, be responsible, be ready.

The school uses a system called Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports, which was developed in the 1980s.

Littleton Public Schools spokeswoman Diane Leiker said the other elementary schools in the district also use the program.

“The general idea around it is to be really specific about what you expect students to do, and be really explicit about teaching them what that means,” said Principal Mary Ellen Dillman.

Jim Yarbrove, dean of students and counselor at the school in Littleton, said teaching children how to treat others can be done much in the same way they are taught academic subjects.

“We’re really approaching it like math,” he said. “We’re teaching them the right 4way to do it, we’re acknowledging it when

O R Y E C T D I R

they get that answer correct, and we’re giving them feedback when they don’t get it correct.”

The school logs behavioral incidents daily, noting what happened as well as motivating factors, and reviews the data quarterly. Yarbrove said behavior reports have dropped 35 percent since the program was implemented.

Slips of paper called “Pacer Performers” —named for the school mascot — that can be exchanged for items such as pencils or school shirts are part of the positive feedback that faculty and staff reward students with.

“This works more than, you know, pointing a finger at kids,” he said, waving one of the green slips.

Yarbrove and Dillman said the acknowledgment students respond to most strongly is the school’s “Wall of Fame.”

“The Wall of Fame is, the teachers select one student per month in the class that is exceptional,” Yarbrove said.

“Those kids love it,” he said. “I’m always getting `Mr. Yarbrove, what do I need to do to get on the Wall of Fame?’

I love that. It’s not about buying something with a Pacer, it’s about getting that recognition.”

“We know that children respond better to positive reinforcement.”

The project, this time, is simple machines.

The books on the shelves, the vocabulary words on the walls, the geometry placards on the windows and the questions tacked around the classroom all come back to simple machines.

The end product — the meaningful outcome of about six weeks of study — is a wooden pinball machine built by students in groups of three, which will be demonstrated to family and friends in a formal presentation and then given to several charity organizations.

Judy Racine, just months away from her last day of teaching after 40 years in the classroom, always thinks about the end result to her lessons.

“I really have to make sure everything I do is meaningful and has purpose with the kids . . . so they see the purpose behind what they’re doing,” she says. “Learning has to be meaningful, purposeful and authentic.”

In the case of simple machines, that means students are “understanding how force in motion is either a push or pull. . . . They may not see it at that moment. But we bring in the language all the time, keep the end product always in mind.”

She knows she’s done a good job when curiosity spurs students to ask questions — probing questions. Or when parents tell her how their children couldn’t stop talking at the dinner table about what they’d done in class that day.

“They’re transferring what they’re doing in the classroom to a bigger world,” Judy says.

Judy, who turns 65 on April 1, has taught for the past 20 years at the Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning in South Denver. Supported by five school districts — Aurora, Cherry Creek, Denver, Douglas County and Littleton — and the nonprofit Public Education and Business Coalition, the school incorporates principles of Outward Bound into its curriculum. It’s built around multidisciplinary learning expeditions that take students at least once a week on in-depth field trips and culminate in projects that pull all the learning together.

Those expeditions into the real world, and the project that is shared with the community — allowing them to be “experts” in that particular area — are key ingredients in a recipe for successful learning, Judy says.

“Learning has to be active as well as challenging,” she says. “Students have to be pushed out of their comfort zone. And when they know that they’re learning is public — that they have an audience . . . ,” the motivation to learn steps up a notch.

Jos can’t wait for exhibition night to show off the pinball machine her group will have built.

“We learn how to build simple machines,” she says, as she searches for an explanation of the word axle in a book, then writes her own definition in her dictionary.

“The world,” her partner Lucy notes, “is made up of simple machines.”

“We are,” Jos adds matter-of-factly, “kind of simple machines.”

LI

“Fridays for Judy” started at the beginning of the school year: Tickets to see one of her favorite bands and “The Nutcracker” ballet.

A bottle of wine.

Flowers.

Gift cards for coffee, to restaurants, to the movies.

Dinners to bring home.

Letters of gratitude.

A teacher who worked with Judy but is now at another school suggested the idea as a way for the community to celebrate Judy all year long. The gifts

arrive just about every week.

“In August, we sent out emails to all families and staff and made an online signup . . . so people could choose how to thank Judy in their own style,” parent Jennifer Eure said.

Eure’s son, Gavin, is in Judy’s class now. Her older son also had her as a teacher. She is grateful, Eure says, for that good fortune.

“Judy has inspired both of my children to enjoy reading, to ask questions and think more deeply,” she says. “She creates a structured and joyful classroom environment where all of her students feel safe to be themselves, to push themselves and take risks in their learning.”

Amy Weisbrot, a learning specialist who has worked with Judy for five years, believes her most important quality as a teacher is her ability to let kids be kids.

“She is so passionate about the importance of play in the classroom and letting kids learn through their own self discovery,” Weisbrot said. “She helped me realize how important it is to let kids have time to create, to be creative and really dream big . . . and then to believe in their big dreams.”

The education world today sometimes forgets that big dream, Judy says — the recognition that learning shouldn’t be dissected into isolated pieces of standards that should be taught here and objectives that should be met there.

Those are important and necessary components to guiding the teaching experience. But in the intense push for performance and evaluative metrics, she says, the big picture, the “wholeness” of a child is often overshadowed.

Take, for instance, reading. The guiding goal, Judy says, should simply be: “Children should become strong learners who love to read and adore books for a lifetime.”

Good teaching is instinctive, too.

“You have to know when to turn off the lights and put everything away and have a dance party,” Judy says — “or know when to push it.”

Ah, the dance parties.

During snack time after recess, it’s not uncommon to walk into Judy’s room and find kids taking turns at deejay and Judy in the middle of the pack, dancing to Bob Marley, String Cheese Incident or the Beatles, which many of her students have come to love.

“It’s my favorite time to walk into Judy’s room,” Weisbrot says, “so I can join in on the boogie.”

• • • Groups of students huddle around the various tables, focused on the task before them. Every 10 minutes they switch to a new station. They hammer nails and turn screws and saw notches into boards. They measure and ask questions and exclaim in surprise. A current of purpose and curiosity pulses through the room.

“This is really cool,” says Ainsley, a blue cap on her head, as she tries out the pinball machine, a larger version of what she is working on. “I like that we’re going to be building our own. Playing with them is pretty awesome.”

Across the room, Judy helps Ryder steady the power drill, then blows away the shavings on the board.

“Wow,” she says, rubbing her fingers across the hole, “that’s great.”

Over on a rug, Jos is working on her dictionary.

She is talking about why she likes her class.

“I love Judy,” she says. “I wish she wouldn’t retire. She finds out how to have fun while learning.”

Jos pauses. Then: “We are kids.”

And, as Judy would say, that’s the most essential ingredient to remember.

Candidates emerge at county assemblies Pair of Republicans to face off in primary for House District 38 seat

WINNERS AT THE ASSEMBLIES A look at the two major parties’ candidates for the June 28 primary election in races that have an impact on the Littleton/Englewood/Centennial area:

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two Republicans emerged from the Arapahoe County assembly as candidates for the state House District 38 seat.

Former Arapahoe County Commissioner Susan Beckman received 56.7 percent of the delegate votes at the March 19 assembly, and Navy veteran Mike Williams garnered 43.3 percent. Candidates receiving 30 percent or more advance to the June 28 primary.

The winner of the Beckman vs.

Williams primary will face off against former state Rep. Robert Bowen, D-Centennial. Bowen, who also ran for the seat in 2014, was nominated from the floor at the Arapahoe County Democratic Assembly on March 12 after no Democratic candidates filed to run.

Bowen accepted and will appear on the ballot but said Democrats running for the seat in the heavily Republican district face a “kamikaze mission.” The district includes west Centennial, most of Littleton, Bow Mar and Columbine Valley.

Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, is the current District 38 representative but is running instead for a different post, county commissioner.

At the assembly at Denver First Church of the Nazarene, Beckman touted her experience, both as a county commissioner and later as a state employee, overseeing construction and maintenance projects.

“I have been in the belly of the beast,” the Littleton resident said. “And I don’t like what I see.”

Williams, on the other hand, is running on a lack of political experience, saying he would be a “citizen legislator.”

“It does not take a decade in politics to understand (voters’) concerns,” the

Area doctors address public concerns over the Zika virus Mosquitoes in Colorado are unable to carry, transmit virus

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Medical professionals throughout the Denver metro area are fielding an increasing number of questions from those concerned about the spread of the Zika virus.

The virus, which the World Health Organization says originated in West Africa, spread to dozens of countries in South America and Central America before making its way to the United States.

The 2015-16 timeframe marked the highest number of confirmed cases in the U.S. to date, with 258 travel-associated cases as of March 16, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Eighteen of them involved pregnant women.

The Zika virus is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, an insect that thrives in warm climates, said Bernadette Albanese, medical epidemiologist at the Tri-County Health Department, which serves Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The Aedes aegypti mosquito does not live in Colorado, but can be found in states like Florida, Georgia, Texas, Arizona and California.

Health professionals are warning that Zika can also be sexually transmitted, generating concern among those who are pregnant or could become pregnant, as well as their male partners.

Albanese said Tri-County Health is deferring to protocols established by the CDC. The health department has received phone calls in recent months from medical professionals — especially obstetricians — who want to be sure they are passing the correct information to their patients, she said.

Some believe that the Zika virus is to blame for the rapid increase in cases of microcephaly, a rare condition in which infants are born with smaller heads and neurological impairments, according to the Mayo Clinic. Brazil, in particular, has experienced a surge in the number of microcephaly cases. However, the correlation between Zika and microcephaly is “still being evaluated,” said Albanese, who noted that doctors are urging an abundance of caution for would-be mothers and their partners just in case.

Although the level of concern is not as elevated in Colorado as in southern states, there have been two confirmed travel-associated Zika cases among Colorado residents. There are nevertheless secondary impacts to Colorado residents from the virus, including the cancellation of vacations to areas affected by Zika.

Parker resident Cori Miracle, who

became a first-time mother last year, says she and her husband decided to forgo separate trips in March and April to Puerto Rico and Cancun, respectively, after consulting with four separate doctors and hearing different recommendations from each.

“It’s the unknown,” she said. “It’s just not worth it and it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

The couple had to provide an obstetrician’s note to their travel agent before receiving a full refund for their Puerto Rico trip. The Miracles are still waiting to hear whether they will get a full refund for their canceled trip to Mexico.

Symptoms and precautions Dr. Sandhya Ayyar, the medical director of infection control for Parker Adventist Hospital and Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, said couples of child-bearing age should avoid getting pregnant for 12 weeks after traveling to affected areas. Roughly 80 percent of the time, patients are asymptomatic, she said.

Ayyar is among the medical professionals who recommend avoiding travel to Zika-affected countries unless it’s absolutely necessary.

“For women considering getting pregnant, I would say definitely postpone,” Ayyar said.

Those who have traveled to affected

areas and live in states where the Aedes aegypti mosquito is present should educate themselves and avoid sexual contact and mosquito bites for several weeks after returning from their trip.

That includes both women and men because doctors are still uncertain how long the virus can live in semen.

Mosquitoes in Colorado are unable to transmit the virus, even if they bite those who have Zika, Ayyar and Albanese say. The virus typically stays in a woman’s system for one week.

The Aedes aegypti mosquito has the ability to carry and transmit dengue and the chikungunya virus, the CDC says.

The 20 percent of Zika patients who do exhibit symptoms have reported fever, rashes, joint pain and conjunctivitis. Doctors recommend using Tylenol and avoiding aspirin and ibuprofen.

States that anticipate the potential spread of Zika through Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are taking measures to control mosquito populations and eliminate pools of water where the mosquitoes lay their larvae. They also are educating the public on ways to prevent the spread of the virus.

“The way they’re gearing up in those southern regions is going to be different,” Ayyar said. “(Colorado residents) should worry more about West Nile.”

Englewood council approves two land leases

Both city-owned parcels are located in Douglas County

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

The Englewood City Council voted 4-2 to approve leases for two parcels of cityowned land in Douglas County.

The parcels are part of land the city purchased in Douglas County in 1946 when McLellan Reservoir was created.

Initially, there was limited access to the property, but as roads were constructed, the city received inquiries about selling or leasing portions of the acreage. In 1999, the city created the Englewood McClellan Reservoir Foundation, a nonprofit organization, tasked with facilitating the development of the city-owned Douglas County land.

Council Member Laurett Barrentine

voted against both leases. She said the Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation is a straw corporation created by the city to skirt state laws, and that the city shouldn’t act as a landlord.

Council member Rita Russell had similar comments and also voted to not approve the leases. However, Mayor Joe Jefferson and council members Steve Yates, Amy Martinez and Rick Gillit voted yes, and both leases were approved.

Mike Flaherty, deputy city manager, said one proposed lease is for a 33.3-acre parcel located south of Plaza Drive and bordered on the east by Lucent Boulevard. The land will be leased to Shea Properties doing business as Central Park at Highlands Ranch. He said the city has been working on the lease details for about two years.

The lease is for 20 years with options for extensions for an additional 55 years.

There is also the option for Shea to buy the land at the end of the 20-year lease at fair market value for vacant land. The price will be established by appraisal.

However, the sale must be approved by the city council.

The city will receive lease payments of about $391,000 a year for the first two years, and the payment will be increased 2 percent every two years for the life of the lease. Englewood is scheduled to receive $9.2 million in the 20 years of the lease.

The second lease was for 9.89 acres to MKS Residential doing business as Solana Lucent Station. The land is near the 10 acres the Regional Transportation District bought as the site of the future Highlands Ranch Light Rail Station.

Flaherty said the city has been negotiating with the developer for three years and finally worked out the details. The de-

veloper plans to build apartments on the site. Flaherty said the foundation worked with Douglas County to receive approval for the allotment for housing planned for the site.

He said the city, developer and RTD will share the $800,000 cost to build a road to provide access to the leased property. He said the road will also provide direct access to other city-owned parcels of land that will make those sites more attractive to developers.

“The developer will put up a $200,000 deposit when the lease is approved,” he explained.

The developer will then pay the city $13,737 per month through June 2017.

Starting in July 2017, the lease payment will be $329,702 per year with increases for inflation. The proposal is to approve a 20-year lease with possible extensions for another 55 years.

Parks, recreation comments sought at open house

Englewood meeting first step to creating a new master plan

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

The Englewood Department of Parks, Recreation and Library will begin the process of developing a parks and recreation master plan and conducting a feasibility study of Pirates Cove expansion by holding an open house on March 31 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Englewood Recreation Center, 1155 W. Oxford Ave. “We want our residents to tell us what they would like the parks, recreation facilities, programs and services to

become,” said Dorothy Hargrove, department director. “We also want them to help us with a feasibility study about the possibility of expanding Pirates Cove family aquatics park.”

She said the goal of this project is more far reaching than the last master plan, which was completed in 2006 and focused only on parks. Information in the plan became realities in a number of instances, such as the major changes made at Belleview Park, including the larger shelter, restrooms, basketball court and playgrounds on the east end of the park.

“The goal of the master plan we are working on is to create a road map for the future. To do that we are asking residents to comment on all aspects of Englewood

parks and recreation,” Hargrove said. “We want to hear from residents about what they want to see in the parks, the recreational facilities, the programs and the services our department provides.”

In addition to the parks and recreation master plan, the department is working on a feasibility study of the possible expansion of Pirates Cove.

Pirates Cove was built with money from a bond issue passed in 2001 to upgrade the city’s recreational facilities.

Projects included expansion of the Malley Senior Recreation Center, expansion and updating of facilities at the Englewood Recreation Center, and construction of the aquatic facility.

The aquatics facility includes three

pools, slides, play areas for children, and a pool with lanes for those who want to swim laps. Pirates Cove opened in 2004 and, since then, almost a million customers have passed through the turnstiles.

The March 31 open house is the first step in gathering the information that will be used to create the master plan. Hargrove said there will be additional meetings, and residents may also complete an online survey. The survey is included on the project website at www.EnglewoodRec.org. The website will also include information about upcoming meetings and additional opportunities for residents to provide their comments about the future of parks and recreation.

5 Unique Ways TO ENJOY YOUR FAVORITE EASTER CANDY The best parts of holiday celebrations are the special traditions that form lasting memories. Make Easter the most egg-cellent holiday by inspiring new traditions and creative activities, crafts and recipes for your family to enjoy for years to come.

Sweet Egg Decorating Many people celebrate the Easter holiday with brightly decorated hard-boiled eggs, but why not decorate chocolate eggs, too, for a sweet twist on a traditional favorite holiday craft. You

1

can use frosting and additional candy to decorate chocolate eggs, such as Cadbury Crème Egg Candy, in similar fashion to traditional eggs.

Candy Dish Treats Think candy is only reserved for Easter baskets? Try filling a glass vase with your favorite colorful candies to create a colorful, delicious candy dish the whole family can enjoy. Place faux flowers in the candy-filled vase and tie a bow of festive ribbon around it to create a simple, sweet arrangement.

2

Share with the Easter Bunny Santa isn’t the only one who likes sweets; this year, leave candies out for the Easter Bunny, too. Share this “hoppy” new tradition with family and friends using #HersheysEaster and make it part of your annual Easter Eve ritual.

3

Easter Egg Hunt Prep Step up your Easter egg hunt game by setting up prep stations with everything your family will need. Equip them with decorative baskets to put their

4

eggs in, leave clues of where the eggs are hidden on festive note cards and get them started with a sweet treat, such as their favorite candy, to kick it off.

Cooking with Candy An Easter basket isn’t the only way you can enjoy sweets. Get creative in the kitchen and find new ways to enjoy your favorite candies, such as this recipe that combines ice cream, cookies and Cadbury Crème Egg Candy for a one-of-a-kind dessert.

5

Candy Egg Ice Cream Sandwiches 2 cups vanilla ice cream 3 Cadbury Crème Egg Candy 8 large sugar cookies 1/4 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs Candy

Serves 4

Set ice cream on counter for 15-20 minutes, or until it begins to thaw and is easy to scoop.

Unwrap and chop egg candy into small pieces. Pour candy pieces (including gooey center off knife and cutting board) into medium mixing bowl.

Scoop ice cream into bowl with chopped candy. Using plastic spatula, stir candy and ice cream until well combined.

Pour ice cream mixture into rectangular or square 2-quart dish and spread into even layer, making sure candy is evenly distributed. Cover with plastic wrap and place dish in freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until ice cream has set again.

In food processor, pulse mini egg candies until finely chopped.

Remove ice cream from freezer.

Place chopped mini candies in shallow bowl wide enough to fit a cookie.

Place 4 cookies bottom up on plate. Top each cookie with scoop of ice cream then top ice cream with another cookie (bottom facing ice cream). Press down on sandwich until ice cream reaches cookie edge.

Immediately roll ice cream edges of sandwich in chopped mini candies, turning sandwich until all edges are coated. Place sandwich on a dish and return to freezer. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve.

VOICES

LOCAL

Don’t let madness lead to sadness Who are you voting for?

That is the question that we are all being asked.

The other question is: “What are you voting for?”

Now here is my question for you: “How have you been responding?”

As you all know, this is not a politically motivated column; its intent is to share a positive and encouraging message of some kind each week. And consistent with my weekly theme, I will attempt to shed a positive and encouraging point of view in contrast to the “Yikes” response that most people have been giving when responding to the question about who and what they are voting for.

In my line of work I travel quite a bit domestically and also engage with many international associates and clients. It is one thing to engage in a conversation with folks right here in the United States about the candidates and potential outcomes, but it is even more interesting to have a discussion with people outside of the United States and their view and line of questioning when it comes to the perceived lunacy of what is taking place with our presidential election.

The fact is, we will never all agree on the same party, nor will we ever endorse the same candidate, and most likely we will be unable to come to an agreement on the issues that are being debated and challenged by both sides. But here is where we can get our head around the chaos and start thinking

about the reality of the situation in a positive and encouraging way.

You see, it’s not just the candidates and the campaigns that are misaligned, it is the system that is broken. And that is the good news.

Good news? Yes, good news.

It is good news Michael Norton because the United WINNING States will still be the greatest nation on WORDS earth. The president is really just the voice and face of our nation, and whoever is in office will surround himself or herself with smart advisers who should and will help guide the country, continue to defend our shores and borders, and help us maintain our prominence in the world while adhering to our benevolent nature in support of our allies and all people around the globe.

Some of you will point to the candidate’s position on taxation, others will focus on immigration, our economy, education, health care, our military and hundreds of other issues. And you are all welcome to your opinion and position. And while we stay focused on these issues and the advisers and Cabinet members actually develop the plans and execute the strategy, the president of the United States will meet world leaders, give

well-written speeches, and be seen as the voice and face of our nation.

Do some have a better presence than others? Are a few of the candidates a little more “presidential?” Sure, the answer is yes to both of those questions. So for me, my positive outlook and encouragement to go about my day-to-day life is focused on what the people behind the scenes will be doing, not so much on the man or woman voted in as the new POTUS. Technically, of course, he or she will be the commander-in-chief, and will work tireless hours, but in our day and age nothing is ever solely decided by the president. Television and movies help us buy into the concept that the president does actually make those big decisions in dramatic fashion, but the reality is that every decision made is a decision by committee, not one person.

Maybe this will strike a nerve with you, maybe you agree with me in this “Yikes” of an election year, and maybe you will completely disagree with me. But it is the system that is broken, not the people. It’s the system that is broken, not you and not me. And I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, because when we realize that we will still be the greatest nation on earth regardless of who wins, 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.

Houston, we have an opportunity — Mars

Last week, astronaut Scott Kelly returned from an almost one-year mission to test the effects of space travel on the human body. Kelly’s experiment directly contributes to our understanding of the challenges NASA must overcome to send astronauts to deep-space destinations like Mars.

And one of our best opportunities to go there is right around the corner.

Seventeen years from now, Earth and Mars will be aligned for what could be the most significant Smith and inspirational journey in human history. A mission such as this — the first human space flight to another planet in our solar system — requires careful planning and persistence of purpose.

So what is needed to get there from where we are Perlmutter today?

This is not merely a science fiction movie starring Matt Damon.

This is a goal that is within the reach of NASA’s technological capability. NASA and the American industry are already building the most critical elements for journeys to deep space — the Orion crew vehicle and Space Launch System rocket.

With those systems ready for missions within the next five years, NASA can begin taking critical steps to prepare for that rare planetary alignment in 2033.

If we launch humans from the Earth to the Red Planet in 2033, it would only take a year-and-a-half round trip instead of the normal journey of two or three years. A shorter mission like this greatly improves the likelihood of success, as our

Taken back in time by a voice from the past Singles were always a dollar.

I could afford a dollar.

My allowance was 50 cents a week.

Albums were more like $4. I rarely bought albums. I just couldn’t afford Craig Marshall Smith them.

I would rather QUIET not you about DESPERATION the fitell rst single I ever bought. It was a hit, but it was a one-hit wonder, and now I think it’s somewhat humiliating.

I think you would immediately move on to another columnist.

It could have been Buddy Holly and the Crickets, but it wasn’t.

It could have been the Everly Brothers, but it wasn’t.

It wasn’t “Old Rivers” by Walter Brennan.

It wasn’t that bad.

But my first album was and is a gem.

At the time a performer or a group generally didn’t record an album until they had two hits.

One would go on side one, and the other one would go on side two.

Typically the rest of the songs were junk.

Not always.

A Buddy Holly and the Crickets album could have four or five hits on it.

The same goes for the Everly Brothers.

If a performer or a group had a few years of success, out would come a greatest hits album.

Teen sexting spurs talk of updating porn laws Common behavior can be prosecuted as felony

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press Rampant teen sexting has left politicians and law enforcement authorities around the country struggling to find some kind of legal middle ground between prosecuting students for child porn and letting them off the hook.

Most states consider sexually explicit images of minors to be child pornography, meaning even teenagers who share nude selfies among themselves can, in theory at least, be hit with felony charges that can carry heavy prison sentences and require lifetime registration as a sex offender.

Many authorities consider that over-

astronauts would not need to spend as much time exposed to solar flares, cosmic radiation or the effects of zero gravity on the human body. A shorter duration mission also means less possibility of a mechanical or life-support problem.

For the past 15 years, astronauts have been preparing for deep space exploration onboard the International Space Station. Larger in size than a football field, the Space Station is considered by many to be the greatest engineering achievement in the history of the world.

And it has served as the laboratory in which Kelly and other astronauts have spent long stretches in space, providing valuable information for longer human missions.

The Space Station is also becoming a technology incubator for several commercial products and ventures. The technology spinoffs from America’s space program have significantly added to our economy and improved our way of life — from the microchips in our computers, to lightweight metal alloys used in our cars, touchpad screens on our iPads and GPS devices.

Congress — on a bipartisan basis — has shown its support for NASA’s deep space exploration endeavors. Year after

The first album I ever owned was “Johnny Horton’s Greatest Hits.”

Horton had a monster in 1959.

It was Billboard’s number one song that year.

“The Battle of New Orleans.”

It’s inconceivable that it would be a Top 40 hit these days, but in 1959 it was all over the place.

Then came “Sink the Bismarck” and “North to Alaska.”

Those three songs were why I bought the album.

I never listen to them now. But there are two songs on the album that I still listen to, on an iTunes playlist.

Horton was only 35 when he died in an auto accident caused by a drunk driver.

Not long before his death, Horton, who was a rockabilly and country music star, called Johnny Cash to chat, but Cash refused the call.

It was something that Cash regretted for the rest of his life.

Cash dedicated one of the songs I am going to tell you about to Horton on his “Personal File” album.

Horton’s hits were almost novelty records, and don’t really stand up today.

“North to Alaska” was used in a film with the same name. It starred John Wayne.

It also featured a teen idol named

kill, however, and at least 20 states have adopted sexting laws with less-serious penalties, mostly within the past five years. Eleven states have made sexting between teens a misdemeanor; in some of those places, prosecutors can require youngsters to take courses on the dangers of social media instead of charging them with a crime.

Hawaii passed a 2012 law saying youths can escape conviction if they take steps to delete explicit photos. Arkansas adopted a 2013 law sentencing first-time youth sexters to eight hours of community service. New Mexico last month removed criminal penalties altogether in such cases.

At least 12 other states are considering sexting laws this year, many to create a new category of crime that would apply Sexting continues on Page 13

year, Congress has provided the necessary funding for Orion and the Space Launch System. We believe it is a priority for America to remain a pioneering nation on the frontier of space. We have committed to maintaining American leadership in space now and in the future, across presidential administrations and Congresses.

A Mars journey requires a long-term plan from NASA. Just as the Apollo missions in the 1960s required Mercury and Gemini precursor missions, we need a mission statement from NASA laying out when we are going to Mars, what technologies and research we need to get there, and how we as a nation will get it done.

We need a detailed plan to put an end to the uncertainties that could delay a mission to Mars. NASA and American space companies must focus their engineering and scientific expertise on the great task before them. Americans will feel a renewed sense of pride and curiosity about their space program. And they will be able to celebrate another historic first as we plant the American flag on Mars.

This could be a turning point in the history of our great space-faring nation.

We can do this.

Fabian, who couldn’t sing and he couldn’t act, but he was cute.

That album sure was lonely.

My allowance increased and I was able to begin to build a collection.

The collection grew and was alphabetized, until my basement flooded in 2003, and most of it was damaged.

It’s hard for me to imagine anyone being sentimental about the hip-hop rubbish that’s prevalent now — in another 40 years.

The two songs that I listen to with fondness are “Whispering Pines” and “When It’s Springtime in Alaska.”

Horton’s clear, rich voice stands out in both of them.

They both tell stories, but not as mundanely as “Battle of New Orleans.”

There’s a new station in town that beats KBCO. It’s Open Air at 102.3.

Most of the time they play eclectic new music. The playlists are wonderful. It’s a leg of Colorado Public Radio, so there are no commercials.

Now and then they play something that is totally unexpected. A song from the past, that wasn’t a big hit, but was nevertheless great.

Like “Whispering Pines,” which I heard one night. And went back to junior high with a smile.

Charles Francis Lamb

November 21, 1924 – March 13, 2016

Charles Francis Lamb, 91, of Littleton, CO passed away at his home on March 13, 2016. The third of three children, he was born November 21, 1924 to Florence and Francis S. Lamb in Oshkosh, WI. Charles, or “Chuck” to friends and family, enlisted in the United States Navy in January 1942 at the age of 17, while a senior at Oshkosh High School. He graduated from the Great Lakes Naval Reserve Officer Training School as a commissioned officer. He served in the Southeast Pacific during World War II in command of an LST (landing ship, tank). He subsequently remained a Reserve Officer for ten years after the war’s end.

Chuck married the love of his life, Joan Higginbotham Lamb, in 1950, after having met in French class at the University of Texas, where Chuck received a BS in Geology. Chuck and Joan were married 66 years. The cornerstone of their marCOLE Vaughn Cole, (85), of Ormond Beach, Florida went to be with the Lord on March 10, 2016.

Chuck worked for the Chevron Oil Company for 30 years, first as a student intern in the oil fields, then as a petroleum geologist after graduation. Chuck retired for the first time, embarking on his second career, as an independent consultant in the field of petroleum geology. He retired again, but finding retirement not to his liking, he embarked again on his third career, working for the Environmental Protection Agency for over 20 years.

Program to ease work transition could be continued Bill to help veterans, the poor and noncustodial parents find jobs passes through House committee

By Crystal Anderson Canderson@colorado communitymedia.com A bill reauthorizing a transitional work program to help veterans, people over 50 in poverty and noncustodial parents find permanent work is swiftly moving through the Colorado House.

“Unemployment is 3.2 percent right now, which is really exciting,” said Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp (D-Arvada), who is cosponsoring the bill with Rep. Daneya Esgar (D-Pueblo). “But when you look at that 3.2 percent, there is a group of people who just can’t get employment and we need to find a way to help these people get jobs.”

In an 8-5 vote, the Business Affairs and Labor Committee passed the ReHire bill,

which if approved in the Senate, will extend the program until 2021. ReHire targets individuals who are having a particularly tough time finding employment, whether because of prior convictions, health problems, addictions or a lack of resources, or connections to employers in their communities.

The bill now moves to the House appropriations committee. Funded by the state, ReHire works directly with nonprofits and small businesses. The program partners the two together to help participants gain necessary resources, job skills and employment while giving employers an opportunity to try out an employee at no additional cost.

Crystal Bernal, a mother from Pueblo who testified before the committee, can attest to the program’s success.

After temporarily losing custody of her children through what she called “a traumatic event,” she was referred to ReHire by a social worker. She began the program in October 2014, graduated three months later and found a custodial job at a senior living apartment complex. She also regained

custody of her children.

“To be given that second chance to prove yourself to your employer, to society, to your children,” Bernal said, “it means a lot.”

But not all legislators support the bill.

“Colorado’s current unemployment rate of 3.2 percent is well below the national average of 4.9 percent,” wrote Rep. Lang Sias (R-Arvada), in an email response to questions about why he chose to vote against the bill.

S1

“Given these dramatically improving conditions, the projected cost of the program ($3.6 million over the next two years) and a very tight budget environment (including a negative factor for our public schools),” he wrote, “I don’t believe that now is an appropriate time to be using taxpayer dollars to subsidize wages for private industry.”

Kraft-Tharp, however, says the program’s successes make it worthwhile.

“This program works, even if you don’t like the government helping out,” she said in response to some of the bill’s critics. “If something’s working, you should give it a shot.”

More than 1,100 individuals have passed through the program since its inception in 2013 — 77 percent of who gained permanent employment, Kraft-Tharp and Esgar said.

“This is a program that absolutely every single day makes a difference,” she said.

“People are actually being able to get back to work.”

Sexting Continued from Page 11

to young people.

But one such proposal in Colorado has revealed deep divisions about how to treat the phenomenon.

Though prosecutors and researchers agree that felony sex crimes shouldn’t apply to a pair of 16-year-olds sending each other selfies, they disagree about whether sexting should be a crime at all.

Colorado lawmakers last week delayed a vote on creating a new misdemeanor crime of “misuse of electronic images’’ by teens.

Colorado’s bill was prompted by a scandal last year at a Canon City high school where more than 100 students were found with explicit images of other teens. The news sent shockwaves through the city of 16,000.

Dozens of students were suspended, and the football team forfeited the final game of the season.

Fremont County prosecutors

ultimately decided against filing any criminal charges, saying Colorado law doesn’t properly distinguish between adult sexual predators and misbehaving teenagers.

In a similar case last year out Fayetteville, North Carolina, two dating teens who exchanged nude selfies at age 16 were charged as adults with a felony — sexual exploitation of a minor. After an uproar, the charges were reduced to misdemeanors.

Colorado currently classifies sexting as felony child exploitation, punishable by up to 12 years in prison and lifetime registration as a sex offender.

“What we want to do is get away from the life-altering and devastating effect of a felony charge ... by having lower-level crimes,’’ said Republican Rep. Yeulin Willett of Grand Junction, who sponsored the new bill.

But the legislation sparked a fiery backlash from teens and researchers who told lawmakers that sexting is so prevalent that even a misdemeanor, punishable by a year in jail, is too harsh.

“All different types of youth do it,’’

said Samantha Dehart, a 19-year-old college student who testified against the bill. ``I can count on one hand the number of teens I know that have not practiced sexting.’’

Amy Hasinoff, a communications professor at the University of Colorado-Denver who wrote a book on sexting last year, called the practice the modern version of a love letter or sexy Polaroid picture.

“Sexting is often portrayed as something that’s harmful, but we’re not seeing a lot of evidence of that,’’ she told lawmakers. She pointed out that it’s legal for two 17-year-olds to have sex, but not to consensually take pictures of themselves doing it.

Several prosecutors who argued in favor of the bill countered that minors aren’t capable of consensual sexting.

“Juveniles, left to their own devices ... will do things that potentially hurt themselves,’’ said Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler.

“We don’t let them own guns. We don’t let them rent cars. We don’t even let them vote, because we don’t trust their judgment.’’

What about the bunny?

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com For many children in the United States and around the world, Easter is a time for the great white bunny, fancy baskets, and lots of candy and goodies.

According to the History Channel website, www.history.com, the origins of a rabbit bringing goodies are vague, but throughout history, the rabbit has been the symbol of fertility and life, and the egg is a symbol of new life associated with spring festivals.

Churches and communities hold egg hunts for children, providing the opportunity to scoop up colored eggs, candy and goodies.

One of the biggest events in the nation is the annual egg roll at the White House in Washington, D.C. This year’s event will be March 28, and 35,000 are expected to attend.

Easter baskets, dye for real eggs, plastic eggs and tons of candy are purchased every year. According to the History Channel, more candy is sold at Easter than for any other holiday except Halloween.

Here are some numbers from the website Infoplease.com: • $2.3 billion was spent on Easter candy in 2014.

• 90 million chocolate bunnies are sold in a typical year.

• 700 million marshmallow Peeps are sold in a typical year.

• Just over three-fourths of Americans are in favor of eating the ears of a chocolate bunny first, according to a poll by the Statistical Brain Research Institute.

We all have mountains to climb Taking the long way home

As the last bits of sunlight began to fade behind the foothills on a recent day and my trail friends headed back to their vehicles at the Red Rocks trailhead, I looked at my phone and saw I had nearly two hours left before I needed to pick up our kid from her grandpa’s house in Louisville.

So, I dropped off my camera and grabbed my headlamp. After an hourlong trail run that included a semi-technical, 500-foot-plus climb — a run that served as a photo shoot for some of the pictures accompanying the page 12 Life story on trail running — I decided to do the full, 4-mile loop one more time.

Now, just what makes a person want to go running in the dark through one of the more technical, ankle-twisting trails along the West Metro Front Range?

The “why” of running is one of those spring-loaded questions often asked — not just of runners — but of anyone participating in an endurance sport or activity that carries with it a certain element of danger or risk. Even beyond that, `why?’ is the backdrop for every existential and philosophical debate since the dawn of mankind.

And, honestly, the why of it all is something I think of often, and in many regards. This column, a broad project about running and inspiration and how it pertains to life, is something I’ve been considering for the better part of four

year’s services as we try to connect people to God in ways they have never experienced before.”

One of the largest Easter services is the sunrise service held at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison.

“I have attended the sunrise services at Red Rocks the last two years,” said Wheat

years, beginning right after my daughter, Cecilia, was born in June 2012.

But I kept coming back to the same question: Why? What’s the purpose? And who will read it?

With those Jeremy Johnson questions still looming, a few DADDY ago, I ON THE RUN weeks committed to the Tales from column with my Front Range Trails editor and set a deadline. Days passed, and then a week, and still I continued to procrastinate.

Then, late last week, we had a company meeting where we were honored to hear keynote speaker Alan Arnette talk about mountain climbing in the wake of losing his mother to Alzheimer’s disease.

Alan’s message was rife with metaphors. Sure, he was talking about an actual mountain, and Mount Everest, the biggest one in the world at that. But the real message was about the mountains we all face.

Writing a column every other week shouldn’t be that big of a challenge, compared to the bigger challenge of trail running and the journey that started, for me, in 2011, with a few jaunts through

Pennsylvania’s famous oil region and culminated with not one but two 50-kilometer races through those same rolling hills lined with abandoned oil derricks and dilapidated, rusted well heads.

All the same, the idea became a mountain, and I struggled to find the means to summit. In other words, I was still searching for a purpose. Thanks to Alan, I think I finally found it.

Now, I won’t say my purpose for this ongoing column is nearly as noble as Alan’s quest to end Alzheimer’s through massive fundraising and awareness. But I do share the common goal of wanting to create lasting memories for myself, for my family and, maybe for you, the reader who’s looking for some inspiration to make change happen in his or her life.

I’m no expert trail runner or fitness guru. I’m just a guy who had some decent potential as a runner through high school but fell victim in my 20s and even my 30s to a physically abusive lifestyle that included, at different times, too much drinking, smoking and other unsavory behavior. Family, work and trail running saved my life, and so, for that reason, I want to share my story with you.

Because we all have our mountains to climb, even though the actual climb might look different for each of us. Perhaps instead of running, your passion is art, music, mountain biking, yoga, tai chi or dance. It doesn’t really matter.

What matters is that many of us see the mountain as too tall to climb. I’m hoping this column will provide the inspiration to start the trek.

If I can do it, if I can run miles and miles and miles on these 41-year-old legs, if I can overcome the obstacles of the impetuousness of youth in favor of finding peace and tranquility in family and friends and trails, so can anyone.

This column, while narrowly focusing on aspects of trail running like training, equipment and trail reviews, will aim to have a broader scope about how to achieve goals and chase dreams while balancing life, work and family.

Reach out with any questions, comments or thoughts about trail life — or life in general. Or send your own story to jjohnson@coloradocommunitymedia. com, because I want us to go through this adventure together.

So, will you run along with me?

Ridge resident Anna Torres. “It is such a wonderful, inspirational service. Singing and praying as the sun rises reminds us of what Easter and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus means.”

The event is sponsored and organized by the Colorado Council of Churches.

There are 22 churches joining forces for this year’s event, including Arvada United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church of Englewood and St. Luke United Methodist Church of Highlands Ranch.

This marks the 69th year for the Red Rocks event. Last year, the sunrise service

drew a record 14,000 people, and an additional 7,000 watched online.

Parking and admission are free. Gates open at 4:30 a.m., with services beginning at 6 a.m. and usually lasting about an hour.

Not all Christian churches celebrate Easter this year on March 27. Orthodox congregations like those who attend St. Herman Orthodox Church at 991 W. Prentice Ave., Littleton, will celebrate Easter on May 1.

“The Orthodox Church adopted a modified calendar, which includes our way to set the date for Lent, Holy Week and Eas-

ter,” Father John Armstrong of St. Herman explained.

Armstrong said the services Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Holy Week are focused on marking the death and resurrection of Jesus. There is a Good Friday service with the church draped in dark colors and the doors to the altar closed. On Saturday at midnight, the congregation gathers to celebrate the resurrection. The nighttime service includes marching three times around the church and, when the worship is over, moving to the fellowship hall for a feast.

‘Flying Saucer Bank’ is subject of talks Englewood landmark was designed in 1965

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com The Englewood Historic Preservation Society will meet on March 28 to hear preservation consultant Diane Wray Tomasso speak about “The Flying Saucer Bank and the Communist in the Post Office.” There will be two presentations: 2:30 p.m. at the Englewood Library, inside the Englewood Civic Center at 1000 Englewood Parkway, and 6:30 p.m. at The Brew on Broadway, 3445 S. Broadway, in a renovated 1920s grocery store a block north of the “Flying Saucer Bank.”

In 1965, Colorado architect Charles Deaton, designer of the Sculpture House on Genesee Mountain, (aka the Sleeper House because of its appearance in Woody Allen’s 1973 film “Sleeper,”) was commissioned to design a new bank on South Broadway in Englewood for Key Savings and Loan.

With an address of 3501 S. Broadway, it is now owned by Community Banks of Colorado and is highly visible to the stream of motorists who drive by it every day — gleaming white, perhaps almost ready to fly away and described as the “Flying Saucer Bank” by many.

It was completed in 1967, a dome-like, rounded, organiclooking structure that is closely related to the Sculpture House Deaton had designed for his family. A curving glass wall faces

Diane Tomasso, who got the old Englewood Post Office on Broadway listed as a designated historic site, has recently filed a request with the State of Colorado’s Landmark Commission to also designate the “Flying Saucer Bank” as a historic site.

It fits several requirements: age, architectural distinction and

the size of the site doesn’t allow the developer to meet the city’s landscaping requirements, so the company would pay a six-figure fee in lieu of landscaping. Foy said the company proposes construction of a residential development that will include condominiums, town houses, single-family homes and duplex homes.

Englewood does not have an ordinance that allows for local designation at this point, although we have heard of some interest among residents of Arapahoe Acres, which is a

condominiums in a trio of four-story buildings and 70 town homes on the west side of the site facing the railroad tracks.

Plans also include 13 single-family homes and 18 duplex units to the east. Residents would park on-site with street parking for visitors.

The development would wrap around the proposed apartment complex that a different developer plans to build on the corner of Elati Street and Bates Avenue.

The prices for units in the development would range from $300,000 to $400,000 each, depending on the type of property purchased. Foy said the planned unit development would allow 35 residential units per acre, but this project reduced the density and plans 16 residential units per acre.

city next week along with a request to amend the Sand Creek planned unit development,” Foy said. “We need to amend the PUD in order to allow construction of single-family homes. Also, we want to create a subdivision of about 130 lots on the 8.8 acres.”

He said once the plans are approved the requests will be sent to the city planning and zoning commission. The commission process includes a public hearing on the project. The commission will then send the request to the Englewood City Council, which will also hold a public hearing on the proposal before voting on the issue.

Foy said that if the request is approved, the company will purchase the land and begin an approximately six-month process of bringing in dirt to fill and level the site, raising the base about four feet.

“This is the former General Iron Works site, and there was a lot of contamination here,” he said. “The environmental cleanup met state requirements by capping the contamination. The cap is usually a few feet below ground level. We are raising the ground level to be able to do the utility

doing with that money. Now those people can locate any information they want to see about Englewood’s finances.”

To access the portal, go to www.engle woodgov.org/openenglewood.

Keck conducted a presentation about the portal at the March 14 Englewood City Council meeting. He said it took nine months of research to locate software that could provide the financial information, which includes the city’s budget, revenues, the salaries of city employees, and even every check issued by the city.

“We used the `opengov’ software for our portal at a cost of $9,000 a year,” he said. “It is read-only information, and the city will update the information for the current year each month.”

and foundation work without disturbing the contamination cap.”

Then construction would begin, and while Foy said progress would depend on sales, he estimated it could take up to three years to complete.

After the discussion, Englewood resident Cindy Webb said she attended the meeting to learn about what was planned for the old General Iron Works site.

“I am pleased the plan has less residential density than the original proposal for the site,” she said. “I do wish they would alter the plan to include more green space, including larger yards for the single-family homes and the duplex units.”

Jim Levy lives in the neighborhood, and he said he generally likes the design of the project.

“I am pleased it isn’t going to be more apartments or rental units, and I am pleased by plans for fewer people in that area than the original density figure,” he said. “I also like the fact the town homes and condos will face the rail tracks and provide a noise buffer for the single-family homes.”

tion so a resident can view the data as a bar chart, pie chart or figures. The portal includes financial information for each year dating back to 2010.

Council member Steve Yates has advocated more transparency regarding city finances for the last couple years.

“I am not surprised to see this happen now that Eric Keck is the city manager,” he said. “It probably wouldn’t have happened if he had not come to our city. This portal is just what we need, and I feel it will just get better.”

Laurett Barrentine, another council member, said she is very impressed with the portal.

“I appreciate that the city manager put this together for our city,” she said. “It is a well-designed system that is very userfriendly, and it is easy to search for specific information.”

Mayor Joe Jefferson and the other council members agreed it is important to make the financial information available to residents to keep city operations transparent.

“Collages” by artist Courtney Cotton will hang in “Artistic Rhythms: A Four Person Show” at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton March 31 through mid-May. The exhibit in the center’s Stanton Gallery is running in conjunction with the stage musical “Smoky Joe’s Cafe.” Courtesy photo

Exhibit linked to Town Hall musical Four painters’ works shown in Littleton

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Tying in with the bouncy musical at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center, “Smoky Joe’s Cafe,” opening April 1, the next Stanton Gallery exhibit is named “Artistic Rhythms: A Four Person Show.” It will be in place March 31 to May 18, showing art by Ivy Delon, Rob Davidson, Judy Scott and Courtney Cotton.

Ivy Delon, who has a home studio in Littleton, follows the tradition of the Impressionists, capturing the beauty of nature at a special moment. “I am attracted to the rhythms of nature. The flow and patterns within the landscape, garden, flower or figure are a constant inspiration and challenge. My painting process is spontaneous and heartfelt/ I use rhythms to meander through my paintings, with varying subtlety in expression,” she wrote.

Delon is a graduate of the Art Institute of Colorado and worked as a graphic designer for five years, when she enrolled in a painting workshop in Maine. She has been painting and teaching art ever since.

She also has a degree from CUBoulder and taught at the Colorado Institute of Art for a number of years.

Centennial watercolorist Rob Davidson, a Colorado native, is a registered architect who mixes a love of architecture with a fondness for fly fishing and the outdoors, “providing majestic backgrounds for historic

IF YOU GO “Artistic Rhythms: A Four Person Show” will be in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main Street in downtown Littleton from March 31 to May 18, with an artists’ reception scheduled for 5:30 to 7:30 April 8. Art will be for sale.

The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Mondays through Fridays and during performances. 303-794-2787. and rustic dwellings in the Western United States.”

He wrote: “a cancer survivor, Rob was motivated to paint during his treatment in 1996, after listing things he wanted to do, but never had time for, painting appeared at the top of his list … I picked up a brush and found watercolors!”

“While barns, houses, mountain Victorian architecture and beautiful landscapes dominated his early work, he has expanded to include several of his own passions, such as fishing, golf and skiing, as well as many different wildlife and landscape scenes, with a variety of painting techniques.

“He has worked on several types of papers, including traditional watercolor paper in multiple weights and sizes, canvas, gesso, Yupo, mat board, foam core and other experimental papers. He paints mostly in watercolor, but also in mixed media, adding coffee, spray webbing and smoke to his paintings.”

Painter Courtney Cotton lives and works in Denver. She studied art at

the University of South Carolina, Rhode Island School of Design and Queens College.

She describes herself as “an artist who is unafraid to express herself and her zest for people and life. She draws on influences and inspirations from her travels and experiences, putting them into her art effortlessly.”

She writes, “I have more than one visual voice and some find it hard to define or categorize my style.

Sometimes her work is thematic, but just as often, she has the impulse to create something without representing anything.’

Some favorite pieces, she adds, came from playing with paint and paper.

“I consciously react with the medium, the activity of creating is paramount …”

Judith Scott of Denver, the daughter of an artist and an engineer, is both a painter and a sculptor. She works in pastels, oils, clay and bronze and holds a degree from Grinnell College in Iowa and an MFA in painting and printmaking from the University of Denver.

She has taught art for more than 30 years, 27 of those at the Art Institute of Colorado, where she instructed in drawing, painting, design, color and human anatomy. She currently teaches pastels at Art Students League and drawing and figure drawing at Lakewood Cultural Center.

Fifteen of her artworks are in the City of Littleton’s collection, including eight that illustrated an awardwinning promotional piece.

Versatility is hallmark of opera standout Denver guild competition awarded cash prizes

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “I looked for five arias that show my versatility” to offer to judges of the Feb. 13 Denver Lyric Opera Guild annual Competition for Colorado Singers, said first-place winner Sarah Cambidge when we inquired about competition processes.

DLOG, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, has members throughout the metro area, and in addition to supporting young singers, it hosts operafocused luncheons at various area country clubs, that include a performance or lecture.

Cambidge, who received her bachlor’s and master’s degrees in music from the

University of Denver, is currently guest artist in residence at the Denver School of the Arts, where she works with vocal majors in the music department. She also has private students and Cambidge continues to study with Ken Cox at DU. She sang “Song to the Moon” by Antonin Dvorak, in Czech, from “Russalka,” (“The Little Mermaid,”) to win the top place. Lyrics are by Czech poet Jaroslav Kvapic. Among her other selections were the soprano arias from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” and from Puccini’s “Madame Butterfly.”

The preliminary competition drew 47 singers on Feb. 13 at Bethany Lutheran Church on East Hampden Avenue — an all-day event. Prior to that, DLOG offered a Master Class on Feb. 6, with critiques

to help those new to this sort of competition. (Some local singers also compete in Metropolitan Opera and other competitions.)

Participants were from Colorado universities as well as singers who have launched on careers. The top prize was $6,000 and all 10 finalists received a check in some amount.

Cambidge said she started singing at age 8 with a children’s choir in her hometown, Vancouver, Canada. “I had a big voice and the director suggested that I start voice lessons. I continued there until I came to DU and Ken Cox — and feel fortunate to have only had two voice teachers.” Both have taught her to “protect her instrument,’ she said.

This summer, she will participate in San Francisco Opera’s prestigious Merola program, where she will understudy the lead role in “Cosi Fan Tutti” — and enjoy time with her best friend who lives there.

S1

In the fall, she will return to Denver School of the Arts. During the year, she sings some benefit concerts as well.

Other winners were: Second place: soprano Phoenix Gayles, a resident artist with Opera on Tap and a former Central City Artist, who has performed with Loveland Opera, Boulder Opera, New Century Opera, St. Petersburg Opera and Savannah Music Festival Third place: mezzo-soprano Rebecca Robinson Fourth place: mezzo-soprano Anna Englander Fifth place: soprano Maggie Sczekan Sixth place: baritone Matthew Peterson Seventh place: tenor Humberto Borboa Beltran Certificates of merit: soprano Neila Getz, tenor Christian Mark Gibbs and soprano Emily Morris.

Underwater photographer David Doubilet and his wife/ partner, aquatic biologist Jennifer Hayes, will speak about “Coral Kingdoms and Empires of Ice” in a National Geographic Live program on April 8 at Lone Tree Arts Center.

Wonder of water will be focus of presentation Widely traveled pair coming to Lone Tree

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Photographer David Doubilet began snorkeling at age 8 at summer camp and by 12, he was shooting pictures underwater, using a Brownie Hawkeye camera placed in a rubber anesthesiologist bag supplied by a supportive father — with less than satisfactory results. Today, he takes various cameras on a shoot and has invented a special lens for underwater use.

He has long since mastered the techniques for reading water and light, has been a contributing photographer for National Geographic magazine and is among the world’s best-known underwater photographers.

In 50 years, he has ranged across the world, from interior Africa to tropical coral reefs, rich temperate seas and in recent years northern and southern ice realms.

Doubilet and his underwater partner Jennifer Hayes, an IF YOU GO aquatic biologist who is also “National Geographic his wife, will bring a program Live: Coral Kingdoms called “Coral Kingdoms and and Empires of Ice” Empires of Ice” to Lone Tree will be presented Arts Center’s Main Stage at 8 on Lone Tree Arts p.m. on April 8.

Center’s Main Stage Hayes specializes in natural at 8 p.m. April 8. The history and marine environLone Tree Arts Center ments and is an authority is located at 10075 on conservation of primitive Commons Drive, fishes. She is a member of Lone Tree. Tickets: the Explorers Club (a note for lonetreeartscenter. those who saw the recent play org, 720-509-1000. by that name at Lone Tree — about the club’s first woman member.)

The two collaborate on photography, story production, feature articles and books.

He has published nearly 70 stories in National Geographic over the years and a number of books. The most recent volume focused on waters around Cuba.

Recent assignments, to be introduced in the program, include coral-rich Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea, a corner of the coral triangle that includes the Philippines and Indonesia, where they found pygmy seahorses and 60-foot-tall towers of barracudas … and much more. Travels next took them south and under the Antarctic ice where they found penguins, seals and shipwrecks.

And finally they headed north to Canada’s Gulf of St. Lawrence to find whales, wolfish, salmon and the harp seal, which is fighting to survive in a sea of shrinking ice.

Born in 1946, Doubilet discovered the magic of seeing light under water while at a summer camp (a counselor suggested he go stick his head underwater when he resisted the usual camp activities and games) — and never looked back. He graduated from Boston University and is the winner of many awards and a member of the Royal Photographic Society. Doubilet makes his home in Clayton, New York, a small town near the St. Lawrence River, with a second home in Dekolder, South Africa.

Lacrosse

LACROSSE FACTS Teams in the South Suburban Recreational League: 6

Continued from Page 1

dome at 6959 South Peoria St., Centennial, is reminiscent of an airplane hangar, with its ceiling arched high above the AstroTurf and airport noise filtering through the walls. Despite the brown landscape of winter outside, the field inside is green and the air is warm, with a faint but distinct aroma of rubber. What isn’t clear is whether the smell is coming off the synthetic turf or the solid rubber balls whizzing through the air as players snap bullet passes to each other and fire shots at nets on either side of the field.

As the game starts, the buzzing of planes is muted by the pounding of running feet and clacking of carbon fiber sticks as players charge across the field, whacking at opponents to dislodge the ball.

The aggressive action highlights the minimal protective gear the players wear — a helmet, gloves, elbow pads and as a few players mentioned, a cup. It also makes it difficult to believe these guys don’t actually want to kill each other.

“The players here have developed a community, everybody gets along,” said Brad Stafford, supervisor of Sports Programming at the Sports Dome. “We don’t really have any problems among the teams.”

Regan, who traded a baseball mitt for a lacrosse stick in high school and never looked back, agreed.

“Everyone’s got to go to work in the morning,” Regan said. “No one’s trying to break arms out here.”

Sure enough, players help each other up as quickly as they knock each other down throughout the game. They all shake hands when it’s over, and as soon as jerseys come off the smiles they wear make it impossible to separate opponents from teammates.

Outside the dome, it wouldn’t be easy to distinguish a lacrosse enthusiast from any other recreational athlete. But the players will tell you they’re a unique group.

“I guess you could say the culture” is different, Stafford said.

“I’ve heard that everywhere,” said Colorado Springs resident Nicola Bevacqua, who began playing youth lacrosse on the East Coast. “It’s a different breed. I love the lacrosse community. I don’t think there are better athletes, blue-collar people who want to have some fun, get together.

Players South Suburban Recreational League: about 120 College teams in the U.S.: Between the Division I and Division III levels, the NCAA sanctions 342 men’s and 249 women’s teams.

Professional teams in the U.S.: Major League Lacrosse fielded six teams in 2001. There are now eight teams, including the local franchise, the Denver Outlaws. The league will add a ninth team, the Atlanta Blaze, in April 2016.

Yeah, they can party.”

Jared Lustig, the Sports Dome’s athletic coordinator, said the common trait among lacrosse players he manages is their relaxed attitude toward an intense sport.

“Each sport has their own culture, for sure,” Lustig said. “I’d say (lacrosse players) are more laid back. They’re out there to have fun and get a good workout in.”

Though lacrosse lacks the popularity of the “big five” sports — football, baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer — Stafford expects that to change.

“I think lacrosse is… definitely one of the most quickly growing sports, among youth and adults as well,” Stafford said.

Statistics back Stafford up. In a 2013 study, U.S. Lacrosse, the sport’s Baltimore-based governing body, found that participation across age groups almost tripled between 2001 (253,931 players) and 2013 (749,859 players.) High school athletes totaled 290,046, and children age 15 and younger comprised the largest segment of the total at 403,770, suggesting a promising future for lacrosse in the United States.

Two people on the field every Tuesday who would like to see more players get into the action are referees Steve Villarreal and Daniel Dureski.

Villarreal has been officiating lacrosse games for 35 years while Dureski is in his first season.

“It’s a great league to join because all skill levels are welcomed,” Dureski said.

“You get out in the middle of the week,” Villarreal said, “and you get to be with your friends and have a little fun.”

He smiled.

And he said, “It beats watching television on a Tuesday night.”

No time for second guessing

“

Second serve is often the difference between winning and losing in tennis

There’s definitely more pressure.

Serving is kind of a way to take control of the points, and when the first serve doesn’t go your way, the second serve is your last line of defense.”

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Pete Sampras, the former world No. 1 tennis player, was revered for his accurate and winning serves.

He once said a tennis player is only as good as his or her second serve.

There is no argument against the importance of second serves by area high school girls tennis players who opened the season March 3.

“It’s overall the most important part of the game,” said Cherry Creek senior Kalyssa Hall, who was last season’s Class 5A No. 1 singles runnerup. “If you miss your first serve and you don’t have a second serve, if it’s a weak second serve, they will attack it immediately. Then if you can’t get it in, you are going to automatically lose a point.”

Players are more aggressive on first serves, hitting with more power.

Second serves are usually hit with a variety of spin in order not to be vulnerable for the opponent’s return.

Second serves are more strategic with placement and pace.

“Service is probably the most important part of tennis, so second serve is obviously important,” said Mountain Vista junior Casey Zhong, a left-hander who finished third in the No. 1 singles bracket in the 2015 state tournament. “If you can’t serve and start the point, how are you going to win the point?

“My second serve is usually more conservative. The goal of the second serve is to get it in … you want to hit a second serve with a lot of spin to throw your opponent off. My second service, believe it or not, has slice and top spin.”

Defending state No. 3 singles champion Gloria Son, a senior at Cherry Creek, doesn’t separate her first from her second serve.

“The first serve is the most important,” she said. “You can take more chances. It’s just important that your second serve is there when you need

Clara Larson, Douglas County senior tennis player

Douglas County senior Clara Larson, who last season was the first player in recent school history to make it to the quarterfinals of the state tournament, says work in practice on second serves helps to build confidence. Photo by Jim Benton it. You need to have a strong backup serve.

“For me my first serve is almost like my second serve. I just have one serve overall. First and second serve are the same for me with a lot of spin and I try to get it on the weaker side with a lot more slice since I am a lefty.”

Second serves can test a player’s mental toughness. Many players, especially in a close match, tighten up on crucial second serves.

“The second serve is all you, there’s nothing that your opponent controls about it,” said Mountain Range senior No. 1 singles player Kristen Kirby, who finished fourth in last year’s 5A state tourney. “And on the second serve you are going to have a chance for a point or lose it right off the bat; it’s really easy to tense up and just try to get it in.

“The second service is kind of like you have muscle memory and you

have to trust that it will come out and you’ll have the top spin and have the right angle and everything. When I start not really trusting that muscle memory is when I get in trouble.”

Douglas County senior Clara Larson agrees that second serves can be pressure-packed.

“There’s definitely more pressure,” she said. “Serving is kind of a way to take control of the points, and when the first serve doesn’t go your way, the second serve is your last line of defense. Depending on how well you hit it (second serve), it gives you the advantage of being in an offensive position or giving your opponent the advantage or putting you on defense.”

Serving in doubles is different because the return of serve is a key, since there is a player at the net. Service angles are critical and topspin serves usually result in good net rushing opportunities on returns.

So the importance of good second serves in doubles doesn’t diminish.

“Usually with my second serve, I know it has to go in and I hit it a lot less hard,” said D’Evelyn senior Trinity Payne, who teamed with Cammy Lee to capture the No. 4 doubles title in last season’s Class 4A state tournament.

Retired coach comes back to town, game Ed Montojo wasn’t planning to coach the Bear Creek girls soccer team this season.

The retired teacher spent February traveling to places like New York, Florida and Puerto Rico and didn’t get back to the Denver area until Jim Benton March 3.

“We thought we OVERTIME had a person in place to take over… but he got a new job and just couldn’t do it,” Montojo said. “So I’m back doing it.”

His travels caused Montojo to miss tryouts and the first practices of the season in late February. But he is back on the sideline now for his third campaign with the Bears.

Bear Creek went 9-43-3 the past four seasons and this year’s team is young with four freshmen, four sophomores, four juniors and four seniors. The Bears are 1-4 this season with a team com-

posed of mostly recreational players.

“We have a young team this season and we’ve had some flashes but we’re lacking the consistency,” Montojo said.

“I don’t worry about mistakes so much.

That’s part of the game. The mistake is feeling bad and dropping your head. It’s a growing process.”

Name change looms for Parker stadium Does anybody remember the original name for the stadium in Parker that opened in 2009?

It was Burt.com Stadium but the naming rights for the 5,500-seat venue, located at 11901 Newlin Gulch Blvd., changed to Sports Authority Stadium in 2010 when the sporting goods company signed a three-year contact with Douglas County.

Sports Authority is planning to reorganize in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, but didn’t renew the naming rights agreement for the stadium long before its financial troubles surfaced.

The Douglas County School District is close to revealing a new naming sponsor and look for signage to go up prior to the

start of the 2016-17 season.

“It will remain Sports Authority probably throughout the spring season unless the new people want to get their name up ASAP,” said Derek Chaney, Douglas County School District athletic director.

“Then we will make a midseason change, but otherwise we’ll wait until the ‘16-17 year to do it.”

Snow can’t strand swimmers One of the best features about boys swimming is the sport is not exposed to Colorado’s spring snowstorms.

That was the case March 19 when several scheduled events were postponed because of a storm, but the Dick Rush Coaches Invitational swim meet was held at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton.

It was a chance for three local athletes to shine.

Arapahoe junior Griffin Eiber won the 50-yard freestyle in 21.12 seconds and the 100 freestyle in 46.02. Heritage junior Michael Hinton was first in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:42.22, while teammate Patrick Kelley, also a junior, won the

200 IM in 2:54.52.

Cherry Creek finished third in the team standings, with Arapahoe fourth and Ponderosa fifth. Heritage was seventh.

Alumni report Zach Braxton, a Highlands Ranch graduate and a redshirt freshman starter at Weber State in Ogden, Utah, scored seven points in the Wildcats’ 71-53 loss to Xavier in the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament Westmont College junior Daniel Butler, a Valor Christian graduate who lives in Lone Tree, tossed a nine-inning no hitter in a 6-0 win over Arizona Christian on March 18. Butler, who hit a batter to lead off the game but faced only 27 hitters in the contest, improved his career record to 17-1 at the Santa Barbara, California, school.

Warriors net second in soccer tourney Monarch edges Arapahoe in title game shootout

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Play for 100 minutes didn’t determine the outcome of the March 19 ArapahoeMonarch game for the Warrior Invitational Soccer Tournament championship, so the winner was determined by a shootout, and Monarch prevailed 2-1.

Key moments Arapahoe scored about seven minutes into the first half, and Monarch scored with about seven minutes left in the initial period to tie the score 1-1. The second half and both 10-minute overtime periods were scoreless. To break the tie, five players from each team engaged in a shootout, which Monarch won.

“We played very well tonight against a good soccer team,” Warriors coach Mike Hampshire said after the game.

“It proved that soccer is the most fickle game in the world. We controlled the

Key players/statistics Audrey Weiss scored the Warriors’ goal on an assist from Haley Archuleta.

Arapahoe put 15 shots on goal as 10 Warriors took shots at the net. Weiss was the shot leader with four while teammates Maddie Matthews and Alexandra Jackson each put two shots on the net.

Goalie Hannah Archuleta made four saves to the Warriors.

control,’ and we did.”

Hampshire said his players are winners who are on a mission, and the loss to Monarch won’t slow them down. The coach said his team is a balance of grade levels with a few senior leaders plus a lot of talented young players who earned the right to play at the varsity level.

“Playing a tough team like Monarch this early in the season is good for our team to see the caliber of teams they will be facing throughout the schedule because there are few, if any, poor-quality 5A teams in our state,” he said. “Every team we play we know they will come out and play their best game against us, so we just have to be ready to play hard from the opening kickoff.”

They said it “Monarch pressed hard in the first half, but we didn’t make any changes or adjustments at halftime,” coach Hampshire said. “It was all the kids that made things happen for us in the second half.

They decided the effort they put in the first half wasn’t enough, and the team leaders said, ‘We need to pick it up, take

Going forward The soccer field will be empty during spring break, but the Warriors return to practice March 28. On March 29 they will face crosstown rival Littleton in a 6 p.m. game at Littleton Public School Stadium. They then are on their home field March 31 for a 4:30 p.m. nonleague game against Pomona.

second half and both overtime periods, but had some unlucky breaks like two shots going off the post and their goalie making a great save. We had chances, but sometimes this game doesn’t let you win when you probably should have won.”

Lions place second in dual swim meet Littleton wins events, but Douglas County/Castle View takes first overall

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton swimmers performed well, but the consolidated Douglas County/ Castle View team amassed the most points to win the March 17 dual meet 159-76.

Key moments The varsity meet was closer than the score indicates. Littleton and the Douglas County/Castle View team each won five swimming events, plus shared first place in another event. But the Douglas County/Castle View team scored uncontested points in the junior varsity events and in diving to help them score enough points to win the meet.

“We have a small team, but (we’re) loaded with talent,” Littleton coach Andy Farner said. “We have 12 out for the team and no divers. But we have great senior leadership, plus talented freshmen on the team. Our swimmers are versatile so I can use them in a number of different events.”

Key players/statistics The Littleton team of Zack Wieland, Brandon Moore, Theo Jensen and Adam Tinucci won first place in the varsity 200-yard medley relay. In individual events, Tinucci won the 200 freestyle and the 100 freestyle; Wieland won the 200 individual medley and tied with Jacob Thompson of Douglas County/Castle View for first in the 100 backstroke; and Moore won the 100 butterfly.

They said it Farner said the team is about the

Littleton’s Adam Tinucci, left, shakes hands with Douglas County/Castle View’s Barrett Lohr after the two athletes finished 1-2 in the 220-yard freestyle event at the March 17 dual swimming meet. Tinucci won the event, but Douglas County/Castle View won the meet.

Photo by Tom Munds same size as last season. The first-year coach said his predecessor told him the Lions graduated some quality swimmers, but many of the top individuals were underclassmen who would be part of the 2016 team.

“We have a number of talented un-

derclassmen so we should have a strong foundation for the team for the next couple years,” Farner said. “I hope we will see the team grow. I believe that, if we have some success this season, we will see more people come out for the team next season.”

Going forward Competition is on hold during spring break. Athletes return to school March 18, and on March 19 the Lions will host a meet for the city schools, Arapahoe and Heritage, and on March 31 Littleton will host the Jefferson County relays.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MARCH 21, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The week promises a calmer aspect. Although there might be some lingering effects of a recent job problem, things should continue to ease up. Also expect a change in a home-based situation.

TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) If you feel uneasy about a colleague’s suggestion, it might be that your wise inner Taurean guide is alerting you to a potential problem. Stepping away could turn out to be the right thing to do.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A family get-together opens up new opportunities for renewing ties. It can be especially effective in dealing with disagreements that should have been, but never were, fully resolved.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might be surprised at the response you get to a recent decision. You might be even more surprised by the reasons behind it. In any event, you’ll learn something important.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your aspects favor resolving any tensions left over from a recent incident. You might want to consider having a “clear the air” talk as soon as you can. A call can lead to a change of plans.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid repeating yourself. If your first few efforts fail to connect, maybe it’s because you haven’t found the right way to get your message across. Try changing your approach.

© 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Good intentions plus a strong resolve to succeed can take you where you want to go. Don’t give up just because someone suggests you might be pursuing an impossible cause.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An unexpected setback can be a blessing in disguise. Use it to recheck your facts and how you’ve presented them. Meanwhile, look for ways to expand your contacts.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You should finally be seeing a positive change in a recent personal situation. However, an on-the-job matter might need more attention than you realized. Stay with it.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While you should be close to completing an important matter, you still need to focus on being focused. But things ease up in time for weekend fun with family and friends.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A certain matter might take an unexpected turn.

Don’t simply accept it; ask for an explanation.

What you learn might be helpful in shifting the situation around to your benefit.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Projecting a positive attitude helps restore calm even when you’re confronting some pretty stormy situations. Stay the course. The outcome will be well worth your efforts.

BORN THIS WEEK: While you enjoy tradition and stability, you also appreciate the good things that change can bring. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
