Kids say Cougar Fit Camp a success Weeklong program at Hay School first of three planned this summer

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The normally quiet halls at Charles Hay World School echoed June 5 with the laughter of children attending Cougar Fit Camp.

Francisca Gelman, 10, attended the first of three week-long camps that was held June 3-7.

“The camp is fun and something to do so I won’t just be sitting around the house doing nothing all day,” she said during a break in the June 6 activities. “I really like the field trips and I like the camp because I am making new friends. We get to do a lot of things and we get to go exploring. I guess I really like everything we do.”

Hay staff members Dale Lumpa and Kristal Kostiew came up with the idea for the camp that offers a variety of activities for youngsters ages 5-11.

“I think Dale and I came up with the camp idea because we love the kids and miss them during the summer,” Kostiew said at the June 6 camp. “When we began setting up activities, we tried to come up with things that are fun and educational.

We take a field trip every day of the camp and here at Hay we have activities like arts and crafts and making snacks. The camp is going well. I think things are working so well because we received such great support from the school district for this nonschool activity.”

The kids are kept busy.

The June 6 schedule had them taking a field trip to Bates Logan Park, doing arts and crafts, making chocolate and fruit crepes and getting very wet in the wading pools and plastic water slide.

Lump and Kostiew also made sure education was mixed in with the fun activities.

Kristal Kostiew, camp director, cracks an egg into the mixture for crepes during the June 6 session of the Cougar Fit Camp. Sessions of the weeklong camp will be held in July and August at Hay World School.

‘I think Dale and I came up with the camp idea because we love the kids and miss them during the summer.’

Kristal Kostiew, Hay staff member As the campers stirred the mixture for the crepes, they recited the multiplication table as they did 10 stirs each plus the counted to 10 in Spanish and in French.

Julie Penroid, 8, said she liked everything about the camp, particularly the field trips where she saw new things.

“We went biking to Hudson Gardens and I saw a turtle,” she said with a smile. “I like riding the bike too because it is good exercise and is fun to do.”

Camper Kadyn Kruse built a crepe and did a good job getting very wet, kicking up a spray as he went sliding head first down the water-soaked plastic sheets.

“I kinda like everything here at camp,” he said. “I guess I like lunch best and I like lunch best when we have cheese because I really like cheese. The camp keeps us busy, we get a lot of exercise and everything is fun.”

Additional Cougar Camps are scheduled July 15-19 and Aug. 12-16. Registration forms are online at www.englewoodschools.com.

An extensive study of development opportunites along the Englewood portion of the Southwest Corridor Light Rail Line resulted in a detailed plan that would make major changes in the areas around the stations, but cost estimates for all the changes are in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Alan White, Englewood community development director, presented a report on the plan to the city council at the June 3 study session. He said the presentation was to acquaint the council with the report before it is presented for adoption in September or October.

White noted a grant provided the money for the study, and the consultants developed the plan after gathering data than included comments from several public meetings. Invitations were sent to residents and business owners in areas around the light rail stations. A total of 96 individuals attended the five sessions.

There is no identified source for the funding that would be required for the bigticket changes, and there was no discussion about seeking such funding.

The study looked at the best possible transit-oritented development at the Englewood and Oxford stations. The report also concluded there wasn’t much support for creation of a light rail station at Bates Avenue. However, there was a recommendation to establish a bike-pedestrian trail from Dartmouth Avenue to the Big Dry Creek trail.

School budget nears approval District tapping reserves for 2013-14 academic year

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Englewood School District’s proposed budget calls for spending more than $68 million for the 2013-14 school year, which includes using about $3.8 million from reserves to balance the general fund budget.

The proposed general fund budget, the money used for day-to-day operations, is almost $28.2 million. As always, the largest portion of that budget, about $22.7 million, is for salaries and benefits.

However, district revenues are expected to be about $24.5 million. Since the district is required by state law to have a balanced budget, the school board approved using about $3.8 million from the district’s undesignated reserves.

“The lipstick is not good,” she says.

Her voice is as fragile as Sue Rhodes looks. She is a delicate, 87-year-old woman with dark gray, chin-length hair, thin shoulders slightly bowed. Her right hand trembles as she scrutinizes the painting, a profile of a woman with a Lois Lane hairstyle, bright red lips and a soft pink blouse.

“This looks like ladies in the ’40s and ’50s,” says Lisa Hut, a volunteer artist sitting next to Sue. “Think of a name for it.

Does it remind you of anybody?”

“No, but I’ll do what you tell me to do.”

“I’m not going to tell you to do anything,” Lisa says gently.

Sue glances at her painting again. “It looks all right, like that.”

“How about a story? Does it make you think of anything?”

“She did so-and-so.”

“I wonder what so-and-so is,” Lisa muses.

Sue takes her brush and slowly deepens the pink edges of the blouse. Then she holds up the painting.

“Oh, my gosh,” Lisa says. “It looks so good.”

Sue nods softly. She smiles.

Lisa: “She looks happy to me.”

“She does to me, too,” Sue says, “except …”

And her voice trails away as she begins another painting, her mind, perhaps, chasing a fleeting memory.

The light-filled room is replete with remembrances, some unwittingly captured on paintings scattered across the tables, others flitting in and out, coming close, teasing their owners but then darting away.

Soiree celebrates community garden art About 50 people attend June 5 event honoring three sculptures, artist

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Cloudy weather didn’t dampen the atmosphere as about 50 people gathered for the art soiree at the Englewood Community Garden.

The event celebrated the placement of three sculptures by artist Bill Gian in the community garden located at the corner of West Dartmouth Avenue and South Fox Street.

“I’m not a gardener, but I love to come here and sit on the bench to read,” Englewood resident Sandra McPherson said. “I love the sculptures. They just make a very nice garden experience even nicer for me.”

The Englewood Cultural Arts Commission commissioned the artist to create the sculptures. The works were paid for with money from the city-established cultural

arts fund which is dollars set aside by developers for art works.

There are three sculptures inside the garden. One is near the middle of the fence on the west side and the other two are placed inside the fence on the north side of the garden.

“I talked with the committee about sculptures and we decided the works should be bright and colorful,” the artist said. “I drew on primitive cultures as a separate theme for each of the sculptures.

I feel this was a collaborative effort that resulted in sculptures that are perfect for the garden.”

He said he did the work, made a business trip and came back to town June 5 for the soiree.

“When I installed the sculptures, nothing was growing or blooming so I was amazed at what I saw when I came to the garden this week,” Gain said. “The rose bushes along the fence behind the sculptures were in bloom and you couldn’t ask for a better background for the art. I feel the sculptures complement the garden and the garden complements the sculptures.”

“Unfortunately, vaccination coverage levels in Colorado are not as high as we would like them to be,” said state epidemiologist Dr. Lisa Miller.

The first case was diagnosed in a man who traveled to Denver from India, seeking treatment at Sky Ridge.

The man was admitted for several days, and Markenson said Sky Ridge took “symptom-based precautions” during his stay.

Sky Ridge informed not only the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, but staff and many patients at the hospital between May 25 and 27, he said.

Visitors to the hospital during those dates may also have been exposed.

Those who suspect they may have measles are urged to call a health-care provider before going to a medical office or emergency room. Special arrangements may need to be made before an examination to protect other patients and medical staff from possible infection.

Measles is an airborne contagion, spread through the spray droplets in sneezes or coughs or on surfaces. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red, watery eyes and a rash that usually begins on the face and spreads to hands and feet.

Crowd at Bitner event exceeds expectations Runners benefit fund that helps families of fallen officers

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Hundreds of feet followed the marked trails June 8 at the Jeremy Bitner Memorial Event, held to raise money for the state fallen officer fund.

“I am amazed that so many people showed up today. We had 387 people take part in the event, which is more than three times the number we expected to participate,” said Englewood Police Officer Chad Read, one of the organizers. “A group of police officers, firefighters and members of the Burg Simpson Law Firm worked together to organizing the event. The goal today was to remember Jeremy with a fun day for all those who attend and to raise money to be used to help families of fallen Colorado law enforcement officials.”

He said the event was a success thanks in large part to the work of more than 80 volunteers.

Because of the success of the event, organizers are already starting to plan next year’s gathering. Read said the 2014 event will be held in June, but a specific date hasn’t been nailed down.

The June 8 activities were held in memory of Jeremy Bitner, an Englewood police officer posthumously promoted to detective.

Elizabeth Fender looks at some of th free items available after taking part in the June 8 Jeremy Bitner Memorial 10K run. The 9-year-old was one of the youngest to run the 10K course. Photo by Tom Munds Bitner died May 28, 2012, of injuries suffered when he was hit by a car while making a traffic stop.

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

The Jeremy Bitner Memorial Event included a five- and 10-kilometer run, a fivekilometer walk and a children’s fun walk.

The start and finish line for the events were in the southeast end of Cornerstone Park.

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

sured course.

There were a number of police and fire vehicles on display, and the Air Life helicopter landed near the stage where participants assembled for the awards ceremonies.

Dan Johnson of Denver ran and walked the course with his 8-year-old daughter Melanie and his 6-year-old daughter Mia. He said he thought the event was well organized and it was a great way to remember a fallen officer and raise money to help families of officers killed in the line of duty in the future.

Melanie said she ran or walked the whole course and it was longer than she thought it would be. She said she felt she did well and liked her time.

Her younger sister walked or got a ride from her father on the course.

“I did walk some and daddy carried me some,” the 6-year-old said. “I liked being here today and I liked doing this thing with my dad.”

Nearby, Englewood Detective Vance Fender and his 9-year-old daughter Elizabeth were catching their breath. Elizabeth was one of the youngest runners across the finish line in the 10-kilometer run.

She said she likes to run and is good at it.

“I started running some when I was 4 or 5 and I guess I started because my mom is a runner,” the girl said. “I liked being here today because the event raised money for a good cause. It was a good course and I think my time was about 52 minutes for the 10K.”

Ham radio operators to display skills Freedom Service Dogs holding graduation Local participants will take part in national field day

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Amateur radio operators around the world will show their communication capabilities June 22 and 23 during the Amateur Radio Relay League’s field day activities.

Locally, members of the Littleton Radio Amateurs ham radio club will set up their equipment at the senior shelter in Cornerstone Park.

Cornerstone Park is located at the corner of West Belleview Avenue and South Windermere Street. Field day activities begin at noon June 22 and run for 24 hours.

The ARRL is an international amateur radio organization that holds a number of events each year. The ARRL website states more than 35,000 amateur radio operators around the world will be operating and communicating from remote locations

during the June 22-23 field day.

The focus of field day is to demonstrate emergency communications without the use of phone systems, the Internet, power grid or any other link that could be knocked out in case of an emergency.

Scott Brown, of Littleton Radio Amateurs, said about 10 club members will take part in the field day exercise. He said the hams will be sending and receiving messages by radio voice communication and

by Morse code, plus will be transmitting and receiving data.

Amateur radio operators, often called ham operators, have stepped up to provide emergency communications for years.

Amateur radio operators handled hundreds of messages during the 1964 Alaskan earthquake, and a team of amateurs in a mobile van set up and handled message traffic during Colorado’s 1976 Big Thompson Flood.

Additionally, they have provided backup communications for the American Red Cross and even the International Space Station.

Event marks completion of training for animals, owners

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com A Freedom Service Dogs graduation ceremony for furry friends and their new owners will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at Hampden Hall, located on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center at 1000 Englewood Parkway.

Englewood-based Freedom Service Dogs rescues dogs from shelters and custom-trains them for individual client needs. For example, the dog can help people with mobility impairment overcome challenges for even the simplest life tasks, such as picking up dropped keys or a pen or opening a door.

A dozen teams will graduate. The class

includes a couple children, two Vietnam veterans and three veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Erin Leeper, director of dog operations, said the class includes a woman who has been on the waiting list to receive a dog for two years, but during that time has been part of a foster family for dogs in training.

“She has been to the last three graduations to see friends or dogs she has fostered graduate,” Leeper said. “This time it is her turn to receive her dog.”

Freedom Service Dogs continues to rescue and train dogs. When about half the dogs rescued can’t complete service dog training, Freedom Service Dogs finds good homes for them.

It takes about six to eight months to train a service dog, and the training costs about $25,000. Currently, there are about 80 people on the waiting list for dogs, including a number of military veterans.

Two area churches change locations New City congregation moving into vacant Emmanuel site

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com A church remains on the corner of East Yale Avenue and South Downing Street, but changes are underway.

The first change came with Emmanuel United Methodist Church began moving out of the building it has occupied for more than half a century. That happened when the decision was made to unite Emmanuel’s congregation with the Englewood United Methodist congregation to establish the Spirit Hope United Methodist Church.

They will occupy the former Englewood United Methodist location at 3885 South Broadway.

Emmanuel’s move made it possible for the New City Church to lease the building.

“We have been meeting at Swallow Hill for several years, we are growing and needed more room, and we wanted to have a permanent home,” Pastor Aaron Carlson said. “This building became available and

we leased it. I feel this is a great location that will enable us to continue our mission to open our doors and welcome everyone who wants to attend our services.”

New City Church is a non-denominational church affiliated with Acts 29, a national organization encouraging churches to plant new churches.

Denise Tursick said New City Church is a Bible-based, evangelical church seeking to establish or plant new churches.

“We also believe in community service,” the New City Church member said. “For example, church volunteers prepared dinner for the faculty when Thomas Jefferson High School had parent-teacher conferences.

Members of our church also volunteered to clean out all the lockers after school was out for the year at Thomas Jefferson.”

Pastor Carlson said it’ll take a few weeks to move into the new building.

“We are moving in and setting up our equipment,” he said. “Our plan is to open the doors for the first time July 7, but our facilities won’t be completely ready until mid-August. But, when we open the doors, we welcome anyone who is looking for a church home.”

ENGLEWOOD POLICE REPORTS Drug arrest

A traffic stop for going through a red light resulted in the arrest of the 24-yearold driver on a number of drug-related charges. The traffic stop was made about 11:15 a.m. June 9 near the intersection of South Inca Street and West Floyd Avenue.

An Englewood Police sergeant on patrol in the area of Englewood Civic Center pulled the Subaru station wagon over after its driver failed to stop for a red light.

The police report stated the sergeant noted the 29-year-old behind the wheel appeared to be under the influence of drugs. Reportedly, when questioned, the driver said he was on probation for a prior heroin possession case.

The driver agreed to go through the roadside test and was taken into custody for driving under the influence of drugs.

The 29-year-old also gave police permission to search the vehicle. During the search, officers found a small plastic container and the material in the container tested positive for heroin.

Investigators found the suspect had a court protection order in place prohibiting possession or use of drugs or alcohol.

The man was arrested and taken to

Arapahoe County Jail. He could face charges of possession of a schedule 1 controlled substance, violation of a protection order and driving under the influence of drugs.

Man arrested for assault

Investigation of a report of an assault resulted in the arrest of a 34-year-old man.

Englewood Police received a report of an assault and at about 8:30 p.m. June 7 officers went to an apartment building in the 3500 block of South Bannock Street to investigate.

The victim told police a 34-year-old man punched her in the face and went to another apartment. Police went to the apartment but didn’t find the suspect.

However, the resident who lived in the apartment where the assault reportedly happened gave officers permission to search the apartment. They found the man lying on a bed and he was arrested. The apartment resident said the man did not have permission to be there.

The 34-year-old was arrested and taken to Arapahoe County Jail. He could face charges of third-degree assault, firstdegree criminal trespass and criminal mischief.

Hickenlooper signs gun bill affecting domestic abusers Restrictions got no GOP support in Legislature

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Domestic violence offenders will find it more difficult to own or transfer guns under a bill that was signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 5.

Senate Bill 197 places greater gun restrictions on persons who either are convicted in cases involving domestic violence, or those who have been served with a courtissued protection order.

Prior to the bill being signed, Colorado law had already prohibited domestic violence offenders from having guns. The new law puts in place a system by which state courts ensure that offenders relinquish their weapons.

Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, a bill sponsor, said an incident from about 20 years ago motivated her to carry the bill. A former teacher, Hudak said that a student of hers was shot to death by an ex-boyfriend, who had a restraining order against him.

“I’ve wanted this to happen for a very long time,” Hudak said. “I think a lot of women and children will be safer because of this.”

Under the new law, persons who have received court-imposed protection orders must relinquish any firearms and ammunition in their possession for the duration of the court order. The same rules will apply to persons convicted of domestic violence cases.

They can then either sell or transfer their weapons to a licensed gun dealer or to someone who has successfully completed a gun background check. The weapon may also be given to a law enforcement agency for storage.

Before transferring a gun back to the offender, a firearms dealer or local law enforcement agency will be required to request a background check from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, to ensure that the person can lawfully possess the weapon.

The bill was part of a package of Democrat-sponsored gun-control bills that passed the Legislature and have been signed into law by Hickenlooper this year.

Republican lawmakers unanimously opposed the bill.

Hudak’s sponsorship of the legislation, along with her votes on other gun bills, led to a recall petition effort being waged against her.

That effort recently was suspended by recall organizers.

unteer artists, create art that often correlates to hidden memories. Research shows short-term memory generally declines first, while the part of the brain associated with distant memories is often the last to go. Art and music are among the few ways a patient — whose confusion has impaired verbal skills — can still communicate.

“They have a point of contact,” Spaulding says. “They’re not able to really remember family and friends. But looking at the art … they’re talking to the volunteers, to each other. It keeps the brain active.

That socialization is really important.

Then there’s the self-esteem. They have a purpose — to come to class to create something.”

The volunteer artists don’t do any of the work. They might help a hand close around a brush or suggest direction. But “we never draw a line,” says Lisa, who volunteers at Emeritus Denver, a care facility in southwest Denver, one of 45 in the metro Denver-Boulder area that offers the program.

Kim Franklin runs Memories in the Making at Emeritus Denver. A former hairstylist who worked her way from styling residents’ hair to life enrichment director, she believes God brought her here to help guide residents “through their final journey home.”

“I put myself in their shoes,” she says.

“Can you imagine at 88 years old, going to a door and it’s locked and you can’t get out? I just want to give them that dignity here …. They kind of go into another world when they’re painting.”

John George looks at a photograph of an old Lincoln as he dips his brush into the black circle of paint in his watercolor box.

John, once a hydrologist, is 82 with a deep gravelly voice and a gray mustache that matches his hair.

“I’m not much of an artist,” he says. “I just go slow.”

He peers through his glasses, comparing the painting to the photograph.

“I’m just transferring some data from that nice photograph to something less than nice. I’m trying to figure out what to do with the grill.”

He hums, a throaty low rumble, and dabs his brush on a paper towel. “This is not gray enough,” he says of the grill.

Then: “It’s fun to fool around. Be sure we’re taking this as seriously as necessary, calling it a fool-around. Paul’s good. Paul’s the talented one of the group.”

Paul Schoolcraft sits across the table, a blue cap on his head. He is intently sketching a sailboat in front of a train on a bridge. Various photographs of trains and sailboats are scattered around him as he glances from them to the paper and back again. A former dentist, now 85, he is so focused he doesn’t respond.

“How old am I?” John asks in response to a question.

“You’re 27,” answers a woman with cottony white hair painting at the next table.

Bettie Van Zetten smiles.

John laughs. “Turn it around. More like 72. Wait — more like 74!”

“Best review,” he says, looking at his painting, “this is a no-talent thing. Patience

Kim Franklin, life enrichment director at Emeritus Denver, stands with artist John George beside his painting, “The Steer Leader.” Courtesy photos by Lisa Hut — patience is more important than talent.”

With a little urging from Lisa, John talks about a long-ago passion for cars. “As a young man I worked on cars,” he tells her.

“That was the only way you could keep them running.”

A painting he completed some time ago, depicting a lake with a lighthouse, brought back memories of days spent at his grandparents’ lakeside home in Michigan, tales his family hadn’t heard in a while.

“We’re able to pull from them these nuggets of memories,” Spaulding says. “It’s a real bright spot for families.”

His painting finished, John closes his watercolor box.

“You’re an amazing artist,” Lisa says, studying the Lincoln, shaded in varying tones of black against an eddying backdrop of green bushes.

“Well,” John says, “thank you. It’s fun.”

Not every painting elicits recollections for the artists.

And “sometimes, you never know if the stories are true or not,” Lisa says. “But then you get to the point where it doesn’t matter, because it’s true to them.”

Although John, who had never picked up a paintbrush before starting the class about 1½ years ago, will say he’s not talented, he is.

“He’s a really, really good artist,” Lisa says.

He’s so good that two of his paintings were selected for the annual Memories in the Making auction, held last week in Denver. Some 4,000 pieces are submitted from program participants throughout Colorado. Juried by professional artists, about 75 are selected. Some are then paired with 30 professional artists, who choose a piece of artwork and reinterpret it the way they see it.

Morrison artist Margaretta Caesar, who paints with oils, has participated for about four years. She still remembers the first time she walked into the exhibition room with tables covered in “magnificent” watercolors.

“We were told to find the one that speaks to us. But you look at the mixture of talent — the joy, the passion, the emotion — and on the backs are little stories about their inspirations. You just get so moved by it.”

Bettie Van Zetten said the box held by an angel in her painting is the FBI’s secrets.

This year, John’s painting of a steer called “The Steer Leader” captured her interest. A longhorn lives not too far from her home. But even more than that connection, “what really grabbed me was the composition. The artist really nailed it ….

He had worked very, very hard to capture the color in the background. I just thought the piece was top-notch.”

For families, selection of loved ones’ art for the auction, which raises more than $400,000 for the association statewide, is an optimistic moment.

“Often the call that comes from a care facility is about a new difficult behavior or yet another loss of skill or memory proving challenging for the staff,” Spaulding says.

“The call from one of our volunteers letting them know a watercolor created by mom, dad or a spouse has been selected for the auction brings a moment of joy, and once they see the piece, often of wonder that a loved one created something beautiful with no previous art ability — and warmth for a memory shared.”

Before the auction, a tea is held for participants where they see their work displayed. John attended with his wife, Lee. “The Steer Leader” was one of the showcase paintings.

“He had a hard time understanding why people were making such a fuss over him,” Lee says.

She told him the painting was his.

“But I didn’t do that.”

“John, that’s your signature.”

John’s big hobby throughout his life had been photography. And, Lee says, he always had a good sense of light and space, which seems to have translated into his new pastime.

She’s watched how he enjoys painting.

“He’ll spend a long time — his attention is fixed right in the painting the whole time he’s doing it,” she says. “He is amazing.”

But John, like many others, doesn’t remember what he paints.

Bettie Van Zetten bends toward the paper, concentrating, brushing small black strokes along the outline of an angel, sketched from the small, wooden figure on the table.

“Do you think you want to do some blue up here?” Kim Franklin encourages, pointing to the background behind the angel.

“More blue sky,” Bettie, 80, agrees. “Not too much. I’ll thin it out.”

“See,” Kim says, “you do a good job.”

Bettie, her once jet black hair now completely white, blots water off her sky.

“See the box there?” Kim asks, pointing to the box cradled in the angel’s hands.

“What is the box supposed to be?”

Bettie wonders. “I was going to say it’s the FBI’s secrets.”

“Oooooh,” several people around the table say.

“What color box would the FBI have?”

Kim asks.

“One of the things about working for the FBI, they were never, ever evil to you.”

Bettie leans back and clasps her hands.

“They would say, `We are special and so are you.’ ” She holds up the painting.

“A red box — all the secrets in there.”

And she dips her brush into the red paint.

Bettie did work for the FBI in Washington, D.C., and in Denver as a switchboard operator and secretary. She has letters from J. Edgar Hoover commending her for good work and her research and help in the Coors kidnapping case in 1960.

The mother of two children, she raised them on her own after a divorce when her oldest, her son Barry, was 10. At one time, she did paint. But what her children remember most is how she made flower sculptures from discarded aluminum sheets, how she decorated objects with paper cut-outs, how she loved music and even tap-danced.

“She was always creating something or trying to create something,” says daughterin-law Eileen Van Zetten, Barry’s wife.

Born in Kansas, she traveled with her family to many rural areas during the Great Depression and came to love the outdoors.

Her paintings often reflect that inspiration and her deep faith, her family says.

“I can see her spirituality in them and her love of the outside,” Eileen says. “For all of us, it’s a way to see that what she’s actually thinking and feeling is beautiful.”

For the auction, Bettie’s landscape, a mountain scene draped in blue, gold and green hues that she named “God’s Beauty,” was paired with a photograph from renowned Colorado nature photographer John Fielder. Unbeknownst to event organizers, over the years Bettie had collected just about every Ansel Adams book of nature photographs; son Barry is a huge Fielder fan.

So when Eileen and Barry saw her painting next to his photograph, they held hands and cried.

“We were both so touched by how this came together, her vision and his vision, and it was almost overwhelming,” Eileen says. “It was one of the most moving things I’ve seen in many years.”

For Barry, his mother’s paintings keep them close, Eileen says. “This is like a way of holding onto a piece of something she feels for him.”

Bettie, absorbed in the angel, adds color to a wing.

“I’d love to be an artist,” she says.

“Wouldn’t it be fun to be an artist?”

“OK, Bettie, last thing,” Kim says. “Do you want to do something for the dress?”

She hands Bettie the angel so she can feel the wood and understand the texture.

“How would I make it?” Bettie asks.

Lisa: “We have silver paint.”

There is silence as Bettie adds water to black paint.

“This looks gray, doesn’t it?”

Kim: “Probably if you use less water.”

“It’s getting more, more silver.”

“So,” says Kim, “every artist names their painting.”

Bettie quickly responds. “Good thing I’m not an artist.”

The class ends and Bettie, Sue, John, Paul and the others close their watercolor boxes, each labeled with their names. They leave quietly, with smiles and goodbyes to each other, and a few hugs for Lisa and Kim. On the table is Bettie’s angel. It wears a silver-gray dress and holds a red box. The sky behind her is Colorado blue.

Kim has written Bettie’s name on the back, along with the title Bettie gave it: “Secrets of the FBI.” To contact the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado, call 800-272-3900 or go to alz. org/co.

New King Soopers to open June 26 Belleview/Federal store twice the size of predecessor at site

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The growl of landscaper equipment outside and the hum of power tools inside attest to the preparations moving into final stages for the June 26 opening of the new King Soopers store at West Belleview Avenue and South Federal Boulevard.

“Everyone is working hard to have everything ready for the grand opening,” Jeri Dayton, assistant manager of the new store, said in a June 10 interview. “Things are coming together and, starting today, we have crews beginning to put groceries on shelves.”

A King Soopers has occupied the Belleview/Federal location since the 1960s.

There were some upgrades and remodeling done, but the store was too small, so the decision was made in 2012 to demolish the building and replace it with a large, modern facility.

King Soopers first had to negotiate leases to be able to demolish the small stores in the shopping center surrounding the supermarket. When that was done, demolition was begun on the $17 million project that will double the size of the grocery store and will include a drive-through pharmacy and a service station.

“We will be open 24 hours a day and will have a total staff of about 175, and about a third of those are new positions,” Dayton said. “We held a job fair on May 27 to hire our new people.”

She said there will be a Starbucks inside the new King Soopers, plus there will be a larger selection of non-food items like toys and tabletop appliances. She also said there will be a wide selection of specialty meats and cheeses.

“This will be more of a market concept where a customer can buy most of the food and other items needed for the home,” Dayton said.

The store will open for business at 6 a.m.

June 26 and it will be a 24-hour location. A ribbon-cutting and celebration is scheduled about 9 a.m. on opening day.

Driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants get go-ahead Three Democrats broke with party to oppose plan

By Vic Vela

vvela@ ourcoloradonews.com Undocumented immigrants living in Colorado will soon be able to obtain driver’s licenses under a bill that was recently signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper.

Senate Bill 251 allows immigrants to apply for “separate category” types of state-issued IDs that can only be used for driving purposes.

The licenses will indicate that the user is a noncitizen, and they will not be able to use the IDs to obtain benefits, board planes or register to vote.

Hickenlooper and other supporters of the legislation, which was sponsored

by Democrats Sen. Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City and Rep. Jovan Melton of Aurora, argue that people who are here illegally are driving anyway, and that it’s in everyone’s best interest that they can do so lawfully.

During the legislative process, bill supporters cited data from other states that have similar laws, such as Utah and New Mexico.

Statistics from those states indicate that the numbers of insured motorists rose substantially after the laws were enacted.

“You’re gonna have to have a driver’s license that allows people to drive to get to work … to make sure they have insurance, make sure they can testify in an automobile accident (court hearing), but at same time identifies that they aren’t full citizens,” Hickenlooper told reporters on June 5, the day he signed the legislation.

The law, which takes effect in August, requires those applying for these types of licenses to show certain forms of legal documentation, such as an ID from their native countries, and proof that they have filed state and federal income taxes. That’s in addition to standard driving tests.

The bill did not garner a single Republican vote in the General Assembly.

And three Democrats voted against the bill in the House of Representatives.

Sen. Kevin Lundberg, RBerthoud, said during an April 10 Senate committee hearing that he didn’t think the bill would make roads safer, and worried that more people would come to Colorado illegally for the driving privilege.

In one of his final actions taken on bills that passed the Legislature this year, Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 5 signed into law a measure that expands labor rights for firefighters in Colorado.

There was uncertainty as to whether the governor would sign Senate Bill 25, especially after he had threatened to veto the original version of the bill earlier this year. Former Gov. Bill Ritter vetoed similar legislation while he was in office.

But Hickenlooper did indeed provide his signature to the Colorado Firefighter Safety Act, two days before the deadline passed for all bills to be signed into law.

The law allows Colorado firefighters to have bargaining discussions on issues pertaining to job safety, regardless of whether individual municipalities prohibit collective bargaining.

However, the legislation does not mandate collective bargaining rights on compensatory matters, such as salary, as was laid out in the original version of the bill. Nor does it mandate union organizing without a vote taking place in that particular community.

Hickenlooper said the final version of the bill was a compromise that he could accept.

“Clearly we had to do something to allow firefighters to meet and confer,” Hickenlooper told reporters after signing the bill. “It doesn’t make it any easier for them to get collective bargaining ....”

The legislation gives professional firefighters the opportunity to put labor rights issues on the ballot and allows them the opportunity to openly participate in the political

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.

As the Supreme Court prepares to rule on the constitutionality of affirmative action in the area of higher education admissions, join Active Minds for an in-depth look at the origins, history, and future of affirmative action in the United States. Born out of the legacy of slavery in the United States, affirmative action has been a part of our culture for decades. Proponents claim it is necessary to even the playing field given past disadvantages while others argue that it just creates a new uneven playing field.

We will examine both these arguments and more as we attempt to understand this complicated and important issue.

Program is from 10-11 a.m. June 28 at Malley Senior Center, 3380 S. Lincoln St., Englewood. Program is sponsored by JFS At Home. RSVP at 303-762-2660; if parking in the lot, get pass from inside the center.

process — something that is prohibited by some municipalities.

Republicans argued during the legislative process that the bill usurps the authority of local governments to make bargaining rights decisions on their own. And the Colorado Municipal League criticized the governor’s decision to sign the legislation.

Hickenlooper took issue with those concerns in a written statement that was distributed to reporters following his remarks.

“As we witnessed last summer, firefighters from various locales were deployed to risk their lives outside the boundaries of their own immediate communities,” Hickenlooper wrote. “Their safety and the effectiveness of their equipment and training are a matter of mixed state-local concern.”

The bill was sponsored by Sen. Lois Tochtrop of Thornton and Rep. Angela Williams of Denver, both of whom are Democrats.

opinions / yours and ours

Happy Father’s Day from an imperfect dad This past year has been very enlightening for me as I look back over the past 12 months and remember how I reacted or responded to the trivial as well as the major challenges and opportunities presented to me by my children.

Some may argue that the larger issues or problems are still really just small or trivial in most cases and just blown out of proportion by an over-reactive father or parent. And I would have to plead guilty as charged.

And as I recall conversations with other parents over the past year I have been reminded that it’s not just my children who get into trouble or make mistakes, it seems as though we have raised an entire generation of trouble-seeking and mistake-prone children as my friends and neighbors all share similar stories. That old saying, “misery loves company,” could apply here, but I really have found no comfort in thinking about it that way.

I love my children dearly, and I would have to agree that in most cases I could have responded better instead of over-reacting and making things worse or underreacting and not doing enough.

The life lesson in this for me is to learn how to take the time to respond instead of react. I know they sound very similar and some would say that they mean the very same thing. The difference, I believe, is found in the way we think about each word.

question of the week

How do you travel with kids or pets?

Colorado Community Media asked four people in the Arapahoe Lake neighbor-

hood for their best tip on traveling by car or plane with kids or pets.

“Entertainment. Entertainment. Entertainment. And keep it charged.”

— Elizabeth Price, Englewood

“I try to make sure we’re all prepared before we even leave the house. Everyone is fed, has all their stuff … and then I pack blankets, pillows, snacks and water.”

— Jodi Page, Englewood

“Be aware of the temperature inside the car. … If you have to stop, make it brief, park in the shade, crack the window and always have fresh water for the animal.”

— Jody Schmidt, Lone Tree

“I don’t really travel with my pets, but I do think it’s important to always leave them in good, dependable hands and with someone you trust.”

— Mark Wienckowski, Wautoma, Wis.

That’s not what I’m talking about I have no idea when “I have no idea” replaced “I’m not sure.” Most of the time when we say we have no idea we do have an idea, but “I’m not sure” is simply not as melodramatic.

All I know is that I am tired of hearing “I have no idea.” I am at the end of my rope. I am at my wits’ end. It has become another “overly conventionalized linguistic expression,” and nearly a cliché by now. Most things that are said, you know, over and over become annoying, at least to a few of us who listen when someone is talking.

What would you think of anyone other than Rodney Dangerfield who started every thought with “I have no idea”? Rodney could get away with it, because he would tug at his necktie, jerk his head, and say, “I was so ugly when I was born that the doctor slapped my mother.”

Elocution has gone the way of handwriting. Most of us no talk so good no more. We get by, because it’s no longer expected to be any better.

Ah, but when it occurs it can be wonderful.

There are some things that are said over and over that I never get tired of hearing.

For one, “I love you.” Unless it’s from Mr. Holly Martins in area rugs.

We resort to clichés because they are familiar, handy, and readily understood.

Few of us have a gift for making ourselves understood without them. That’s what I’m talking about. That’s one of them right there. It was somewhat clever 10 years ago.

Now it’s a nuisance.

The French gave us the word “cliché.” It comes from typesetting, and the reuse of single slug of metal for phrases that were used repeatedly.

“A cliché is often a vivid depiction of an abstraction that relies upon analogy or exaggeration for effect, often drawn from everyday experience,” a Wikipedia entry says. “Used sparingly, they may succeed, however, the use of a cliché in writing or speech is generally considered a mark of

inexperience or a lack of originality.”

It’s not rocket surgery. It’s been a hard day’s night. Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder. See? Clichés and other phrases can be turned around, inverted, and even made into a malaprop (another column).

Shakespeare referred to the “comprehension of two auspicious characters.”

There is a song, “Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” and few of us want to be misunderstood, so it’s much easier to speak the tried and true (like “tried and true”) than to go out on a limb (there’s another) and offer something obtuse.

But it can be fun when you connect, and the more you try to connect the dots (another) the better your chances are. You can’t win if you don’t play, although Fran Lebowitz said she has the same chances of winning the lottery whether she plays or not.

I once quoted Wayne Gretzky at an AA meeting, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take,” and later thought that was a mistake.

Words and phrases sometimes cross over from our occasional use to habitual use, and some of us don’t even know it, or seem to mind, that they can be mindnumbing. If I hear the word “transparency” one more time, applied to the IRS, for example, I will have an ax to grind.

But it occurred to me that it might be kind of nice to be the father of a cliché, to Smith continues on Page 9

If we were to get sick and our doctor prescribed a medication that caused us to break out in a rash or some other side effect, it could be said that we are having a “negative reaction” to the medication.

Conversely, if we were prescribed that same medication and started improving immediately, we would say we were “responding favorably” to the medication.

And as a dad, I can look back over the past 12 months as well as an entire lifetime and remember all the little mistakes and huge errors I have made. And thankfully my children have not over-reacted, they have simply responded and loved me and forgiven me in the same way that I have loved and forgiven them.

That is the wonderful thing about forgiveness, it goes both ways, and it goes such a long way in building and sustaining loving relationships with our family and friends. And forgiveness costs us nothing when we give it, but costs us everything

when we withhold it.

If you are one of those dads or parents that I have spoken with or exchanged emails with or that just feels like you have had a brutally tough year with a noncompliant child, trouble-attracting teen, or mistake-magnet kid, just remember that as big as each of those challenges seem, at the end of the day they are all just trivial.

And it’s not about how we react, it is how we choose to respond, love and forgive that will be the difference-maker in all of our relationships.

Happy Father’s Day! I would love to hear all about how your Father’s Day weekend goes at gotonorton@gmail.com, and let’s respond our way to a better than good week.

Littleton provides vibrant model For my entire life, I have called the Greater Littleton Community home. Before the strip malls and the incorporation of other parts of Arapahoe County, before even the idea of Highlands Ranch, thousands of us were going to church, shopping and living in Littleton. Some of my fondest memories include fishing with my father at Sterne and Ketring Parks, walking in the homecoming parade, and graduating from Littleton High School where my daughters now attend school.

When first elected as an Arapahoe County commissioner, I drove by the original, historic county courthouse (where I received a curfew ticket as a teenager) on my way to be sworn in at the County Administration Building in Littleton, the county seat. I learned that the county owned the then-vacant building, so I asked about the history of the building and took a tour. It quickly became apparent that one of the most important things the county could do was to save that building. We had to restore part of our past in order to build a stronger future. The City of Littleton now has a beautifully restored courthouse thanks to our efforts.

I’ve now been directly and professionally involved for over 16 years in the economic health of our county seat, the City of Littleton. I love its people, history and tradition, and I have become heavily involved in areas where citizens and government need to work together to ensure the city’s continued success, including the city’s changing demographics, its cultural norms, the strength of its commercial base, its transportation routes, and its neighborhoods. The city’s future is brighter today than I have ever seen it. Littleton has the

potential to achieve an elegant balance between respect for its culture and tradition as a historic city (not just a suburb of Denver) and the critical role Littleton plays in one of the nation’s premier metropolitan areas, Denver.

A spotlight is now focused on Colorado, particularly South Metro Denver. We’ve become the top destination in the country for young professionals to live and work, with major companies expanding and moving here. Littleton is responding accordingly with a variety of new residential and commercial growth.

The Littleton City Council made a wise decision by hiring Michael Penny as city manager. Michael is an energetic, competent and hard-working professional. He and his staff have embarked on a series of long-range planning, communication and economic-development initiatives to improve the quality of life for our city’s residents, and we are beginning to see the fruits of their vision and labor. The economy over the last four years has proven difficult for many in our community, both in business and in our neighborhoods, but we now have the potential to grow responsibly Brackney continues on Page 9

Budget Con nued rom Page 1

John Kvale, director of budget and finance, stated in a report that among the uses for the money from the reserves is to provide $650,000 for capital projects, to cover the cost of increases in salaries, to pay the additional cost of adding one day to the teacher contract and to provide funds for a 6 percent increase in the district contribution to the health insurance program.

“This is the second year we have used reserves to balance our budget,” said Brian Ewert, school superintendent. “The reserves are a finite source of funds and, unless there are major revenue increases, the reserves will be used up in three years, which means we would face the task of making significant cuts district-wide.”

Ewert noted if state school funding hadn’t been reduced and there hadn’t been recessions in which the state reduced the money scheduled to come to districts, Englewood’s revenues would have covered the projected costs of operating the district.

The proposed budget was presented to the Englewood school board on May 21 and the board held a public budget hearing June 4. There was no public comment, so the budget will be presented to the board for adoption at the June 18 meeting.

Kvale said the general fund is one major item in the budget, and another major is $28 million being spent on spent on construction of the new seventh- through 12th-grade campus and renovation of En-

glewood Middle School. The money for the construction and renovation are provided from $22 million from bond sales and $6 million from a state BEST Grant.

Like all other Colorado school districts, Englewood’s revenues for the general fund are a combination of state dollars and local taxes, with about half coming from the state and half from local taxes.

The largest portion of state money is in the form of per-pupil funding which allocates a set dollar amount for each student enrolled in the district on Oct. 1.

Enrollment has declined in Englewood for several years and, to lessen the statefunding impact, the district is allowed to use a five-year average for pupil count for the coming year.

This year, the state per-pupil funding increased by about $196, which is expected to mean, based on the five-year pupil count, Englewood will receive about $252,000 more than last year.

Superintendent Ewert stressed two other points as he talked about the proposed budget.

“The district is spending more than $1 million on the purchase of iPads that will be issued to students. That isn’t general fund money but the technology fund that was created as part of the voter-approved bond issue,” he said. “Also, the money from the school board decided, since the money from the sale of the Flood Middle School property is one-time revenue, that money should be placed in the capital reserve fund to cover unexpected building repair expenses such as a roof or boiler replacement.”

GOP lawmakers speak to local alliance

Congressman sees

difference between self, fellow Republicans

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com

After months of public outreach, town halls and community surveys, the C-470 Corridor Coalition expects to decide by March or April how to pursue expanding the busy freeway corridor from Interstate 25 to Kipling Street.

“I think overall people are saying there fixe when is something that needs to be fixed it comes to the congestion,” said Jack Hil Hilbert, a Douglas County commissioner who serves as chair of the coalition’s policy com committee.

According to the coalition, eastbound travelers from Kipling to I-25 face delays of more than 11 minutes during the morning rush hour, and westbound travelers are de delayed as much as 18 minutes in the evening.

Growth along the corridor is expected to increase by more than 30 percent over the next 20 years.

Beginning with a series of telephone town halls in July, the coalition has been busy presenting three options to citizens and area business leaders: tolling any addi additional lanes and keeping the existing lanes free; tolling all the lanes, old and new; and raising property or sales taxes to pay for ad additional new lanes.

“The one thing that has come across clear,” Hilbert said, “is that there is just no way in the world you could go back and toll existing roadways. No matter what is decid decided, existing (lanes) will remain free.”

Hilbert said the coalition is leaning to toward a decision to toll any new or addiaddi tional lanes to pay for construction and maintenance. He said this will be discussed heavily at the coalition’s January and Feb February meetings, when they go over results from a recent telephone survey conducted

by Hill Research Consultants.

“If we go that route, construction could start in early 2014, if not sooner,” he said.

“If we pick a financing option that requires a vote (raising taxes), that obviously pushes it out further. But I don’t think those two options are what I am hearing citizens say.

I’m hearing citizens say `yeah, fix it, but we want someone else to pay the taxes.’”

Raising taxes was a popular option in the early town hall surveys, but according to Hill’s survey only 9 percent of people were in favor of increased property tax and 42 percent favored increasing sales taxes. De Despite the higher numbers, 42-41, in favor of sales taxes over tolling one new lane, the re report suggested that there was not sufficient support to secure passage in an election as required by TABOR.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?

I love working with both buyers and sellers and can usually be reached at any time. It’s difficult for me to take time off because I want to always be available.

Where were you born?

I am a Colorado native, born at Fitzsimons Hospital and have lived in the metro Denver area most of my life.

How long have you lived in the area?

I live in Douglas County, more specifically in Lone Tree for 14 years.

What do you like most about it?

Lone Tree has a small town feel with all the amenities that you would expect to find in a much larger city. There is a new Arts Center, world-class shopping at Park Meadows, several restaurants, new tennis courts, pools and miles of trails for hiking and biking. In a recent survey of residents, 98% of respondents rated the overall quality of life in Lone Tree as “excellent” or “good.” I have found it to be an exceptional place to raise a family.

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

Relationships – I am a relational

dren, our son is getting married in the fall, and we were recently blessed with our first grandchild and our second due in November. I am also involved in the Lone Tree Arts Commission, Public Arts Committee, Cultural Arts Foundation and work on many fundraising events.

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

Make sure your home is ready when you put it on the market.

The good homes are selling quickly so you want to de-clutter, price correctly and work with a realtor that has everything available to them to best market your home to get the highest price possible.

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

If you are thinking about buying a home, now is the time.

Interest rates are low and there are great homes available. The home you buy today will cost you more later. You also need to talk with your lender before you begin your search so that when you find that perfect home you ready to act.

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

I was previewing a home and was told there was no alarm.

Upon entering the home, the alarm sounded. Therefore, I went to the front porch to wait for the police. When they arrived and were comfortable with me being there, the officer mentioned that he is thinking about buying a home in that neighborhood. I showed him the home, we made an offer and he purchased the home.

Garage organization 101:

Stage all parts of your home when selling W

hen putting your house on the market, a properly staged garage can make all the difference!

Garages are highly coveted across the country, offering a space to park a car and protect it from the elements, however, they tend to become the official catch-all of a home. When an item cannot be crammed into a hiding space elsewhere, it often ends up dumped into the garage.

Organizing a garage will take some time. An entire weekend or two consecutive days may be necessary depending on the level of disarray. Taking everything out of the garage and going through the sorting process may take the most time.

When sorting, separate any broken items, which can immediately be put at the curb for trash or recycle pick-up. Examine things that you have not used in some time. If you haven’t missed it, there’s a good chance that you can discard the item or donate it. Create separate piles for donations and trash.

Move the items that will be kept into a separate pile.

After all of the trash and donations are removed from the premises, then you can look at what is remaining and begin planning out a more organized storage system.

There may be things in

the “keep” pile that are simply out of place in the garage and may be better stored elsewhere.

Think about which items can be moved to a basement or attic because of their infrequency of use, such as holiday decorations, suitcases, and collectibles. You may prefer to move lawn and garden items out of the garage and into a shed in the

Even a home that looks neat from the outside may be housing a disorganized mess behind the garage door.

backyard.

After completing the sorting process, look at the garage as a blank space and measure out the room that you have. This will provide an empty canvas as a starting off point.

To maximize the amount

of space you have as a work area or a place to park your car, invest in as many tools as possible to utilize vertical space. Shelving, hooks and cabinetry will take things off of the floor, while storage units with doors can hide items that lack aesthetic ap-

peal. Rolling tool caddies and cabinets can keep all tools neat and in organized drawers.

A cabinet that has a lock and key can be utilized for dangerous chemicals that need to be kept out of the hands of children and away from pets.

Think about how the garage will appear from the curb when the door is raised

and create a design that will be functional and neat.

Potential buyers will notice this organization, better allowing them to see their belongings in this space.

Take the opportunity while the garage is empty to give walls and floors a fresh coat of paint and improve the lighting in the garage. A brighter garage makes for a better work station.

For those who can use a little extra help, there are professional garage organization companies that can come in and install custom cabinetry and work surfaces.

This can raise the value of your home, too.

Organizing a garage can be tedious, but the reward is ultimately worth the effort. ■ Metro Creative Services

Soap Box racer Caitlyn Benkoski keeps a keen eye on the competition as she competes in the Seventh Annual Sertoma Mile High Soap Box Derby on June 9 at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds. Kids ages 8 to 17 race home-built gravity-powered cars in four divisions for a chance to compete in the All-American Soap Box Derby held in July in Akron, Ohio.

A.J. Sippers, background, and Sara Stander, foreground, are neck-andneck as they race toward the finish line at the Seventh Annual Sertoma Mile High Soap Box Derby on June 9.

Racers definitely on a roll Photos by Deborah GriGsby With the wind pushing and gravity pulling, local youths put their racing skills to the test at the 2013 Sertoma Mile High Soap Box Derby, held June 7-9 at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds. The derby is a youth racing program for boys and girls ages 8 to 17, challenging them to build their own gravity-powered car, suitable to compete in four different divisions. This is the first year the derby has been held at the fairgrounds, and many who attended, as well as raced, welcomed the wide-open space and less traffic.

Elway’s is flying high

three generations meet nature’s miracle ‘Baby’ explores reactions to world of pregnancy

if you Go “Baby” plays through June 23 at ShaverRamsey Showroom, 2414 East Third Ave., Denver. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 6:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $28/$25. 303-800-6578, cherrycreektheatre.org. (We’d suggest advance reservations on this one as seating is limited.)

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ ourcoloradonews.com What a joy it is to see this little gem of a musical — “Baby” — with its lovely score and clever lyrics, played by a top-notch cast. Cherry Creek Theatre has scored again!

“Baby,” with book by Sybil Pearson, based on a story developed with Susan Yankowitz, music by David Shire and lyrics

by Richard Maltby Jr., is a pleasing contrast to the prevailing mega-musicals that are on the road. But is does mean each actor must shine — and they do.

Three couples each expect a baby and have different reactions and subsequent stories.

An ensemble fills in assorted other roles with skill. Director Pat Payne has pulled the production into a fine-tuned

Brian Walker Smith and Megan Van De Hay play Alan and Arlene in Cherry Creek Theatre’s production of “Baby.” Photo by Denver MindMedia package in the attractive but limited space at Shaver Ramsey Rug Showroom, with a pair of pianos tucked to the side and production logistics enhanced by veteran designer/director Richard Pegg.

Choreography by Piper Arpan is low-key and fits the space.

Alan and Arlene (Brian Walk-

er Smith and Megan Van De Hay) are a mature couple with three grown daughters. She is alarmed and contemplating abortion, while he is thrilled at the prospect of a tiny new family member. Nick and Pam (Scott Severtson and Shannon Steele) are 30-something active sports people who are having trouble conceiving, and college

juniors Danny and Lizzie (Drew Hirschenboeck and Emily Ann Luhrs) have just moved in together are not ready for a child — but adjust their lives and ambitions in quite mature ways.

Each of these characters is presented with depth and skill, which makes an evening of satisfying theater. Many in the audience will relate to some part of these stories.

Each story is appealing, touching and, in particular, about love, without being cloyingly sweet.

The ensemble fills in assorted characters, notably Ben Dicke’s doctor who tries to advise Nick and Pam in a particularly inept manner.

Elway’s DIA opened for airport travelers on June 10. Here are the facts: Elway’s opened at the Center Court on Concourse B at Denver International Airport. The opening coincided with United Airlines’ maiden flight from Denver to Tokyo.

Elway’s DIA, the fourth location for the steakhouse chain (the original in Cherry Creek, Downtown at the Ritz-Carlton and in Vail), will be open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant will seat approximately 147 guests, with a main dining area, bar seating and a patio.

Jackson tribute

Michael Jackson fans won’t want to miss The Ultimate Thriller — The Michael Jackson Tribute on June 21 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

The concert is crafted from the best sets, costumes, dance moves and musical arrangements of the Bad and Dangerous tours. The Ultimate Thriller presents an enduring tribute to the King of Pop. The concert features big production values with a live band, backup vocalists, design lighting and a troupe of dancers choreographed by LaVelle Smith Jr. and Mic Thompson, who spent several years performing with Jackson.

The Ultimate Thriller will take audiences through a Jackson music repertoire including “Jam,” “I’ll Be There,” “Rock With You,” “Black or White,” “Bad,” “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” “Thriller,” “Man in the Mirror” and more.

To sample music and video on the band, go to www.theultimatethriller.com/ promoter. Tickets are $32 for general admission (plus service charges) at www. ticketmaster.com, or to charge by phone call 303-296-1212.

Littleton party rocks the blocks Downtown event draws thousands to Main Street

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Four-year-old Kaylee Berry made an official proclamation as the first of the fireworks flew during the Littleton Block Party June 8: “It’s summer!”

The weather played along, as did a cast of characters rounding out the evening’s circus theme — aerial acrobats, fire-eaters, stilt-walkers, contortionists, jugglers, magicians and Sam Adams, the sports journalist-turned-comedian-turned-ringmaster for the evening. A tightrope walker trod lightly above Ancient Arts Healing Center, and aerial acrobats dangled over the intersection of Prince and Main streets.

Perhaps most stunning was the size of the crowd, which organizers estimate at

18,000 to 20,000 people.

“I’m just tickled pink about the whole thing,” said Greg Reinke, president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants, which hosts the event. “To get that many people on Main Street is awesome.”

There were noticeably more young people this year, of both the young-and-single and young-family varieties. Perhaps they were drawn to the local bands playing five separate stages, including Flash Mob, Dave Frisk Band, Ken K and Larry O’Connor, but Reinke says he’s noticing an overall trend.

“Littleton is starting to have a turnover as far as age groups,” he said. “They’re coming here to some of the cool new venues, and they realize it’s a great little place to be.”

Reinke said he hadn’t counted the money yet, but he thought the event did well.

“It’s not about the profit,” he said. “My job is to get people down here. Even if we lose money, as long as we don’t lose all of it, it’s a good investment.”

Fawlty Towers Hotel has room for laughs

on or

d willBritish TV farce g on n theonstage in Denver Cas$90,By Sonya Ellingboe ance,sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Time: 1977; place: Fawlty Towers, a Victorian hotel in Torquay, England, operated by one Basil Fawlty and his wife, Sybil.

Four segments of the popular British TV series, written by John Cleese (Monty Python) and Connie Booth, are packaged for an onstage visit with cranky Basil Fawlty and his various guests and staff. Acts are called “Hotel Inspectors,” “The Anniversary,” “Communication Problems” (my favorite) and “Waldorf Salad.”

All take place on Colin Roybal’s two-story Victorian set — quite a feat in the small Bug Theatre where Equinox Theatre Company performs. Director Shannon McCarthy manages to move a large cast in, out, up and down with considerable skill, although some scenes are so busy, they are hard to follow.

But silliness reigns throughout, so one just rolls with it.

Matt Maxwell’s quarrelsome Basil Fawlty manages to be uniformly rude to all his guests and gets similar treatment from forceful Mrs. Richards (Carole Maschka), who issues orders and doesn’t want to turn on her hearing aid because it will run down the batteries. She doesn’t like her room and thinks she’s been robbed …. Her ocean view is right there, Basil says, “Between the land

Painted Cats charity event

I’m allergic to cats, but painted cats are a different tale.

The Cat Care Society debuted its “Tails of the Painted Cats” summer tour in May, but it runs through July 11 and the fundraiser concludes with a July 20 gala event and auction at Pinehurst Country Club in southwest Denver.

The painted cats were designed and painted by various Denver-area artists and cat lovers.

Douglas M. Tisdale (the honorable mayor of Cherry Hills Village) will serve as auctioneer and my favorite weatherman, Channel 4’s Ed Greene, will be emcee the event.

For more information, visit www.catcaresociety.org/paintedcats.html.

Here’s the list of the remaining “Tails of the Painted Cats” summer tour: • June: Tennyson Street Cultural District, plus other metro Denver locations

If you go “A Night at Fawlty Towers” is presented by Equinox Theatre Company through June 15 at the Bug Theatre, 3654 Navajo St., Denver. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday. Tickets: $22 ($20 advance). EquinoxTheatreDenver. com.

Matt Maxwell (Basil Fawlty) and Natasha Gleichman (assistant Polly Sherman) perform in Equinox Theatre Company’s “A Night at Fawlty Towers.” Photo by Denver MindMedia and the sky!”

Questions/misunderstandings about money, identity, food and drink (including screwdrivers and Waldorf salad) and general day-to-day operations give assorted dingbat guests a chance to shine.

Comic timing skills are not quite there at all times, but presumably those skills will improve as the show continues its run.

It’s hard to maintain the level as written by comic genius Cleese — and keep a consistent British accent going too.

Hotel waiter Manuel (Mark Shonsey) is

especially funny and Sybil Fawlty has a fine snort with her laugh. Company director Deb Flomberg designed a nice collection of costumes and makes a couple of brief appearances in the cast.

This offers a lighthearted evening in a nifty part of Denver — the Highland neighborhood. Circa 1921 Patsy’s is right across the street with old-fashioned Italian food, and several longstanding Denver art galleries (Pirate, Zip, Edge) are on the block — open on Friday nights.

Theater teacher looks back … and ahead Dignan has plans for new company

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Les Miserables,” “Aida,” “Legally Blonde,” “Doubt, “ “Amadeus,” “Of Mice and Men,” “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “Gem of the Ocean,” “Seven Guitars,” “Jesus Christ Superstar” and many more … Barb Dignan mounted more than 35 Broadway-type productions in her 13 years with Highlands Ranch High School’s drama department, plus some created by students in her classroom. Her only repeats were “The Crucible” and “Dracula” because the kids wanted them.

The choice of shows each year depended on the particular talents available among her students, but they also were a vehicle for education. “Amadeus,” for example, taught 100 kids about Mozart, she commented.

And the two August Wilson plays, “Gem of the Ocean” and “Seven Guitars,” taught students, both white and black, about this great African-American playwright. Dignan found that the black kids didn’t know his history and she wanted them to know him.

She is proud of students who went into theater careers: a lighting designer on Broadway and others in tech programs. A number of former students are working in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City,

Drama teacher Barb Dignan of Highlands Ranch has accumulated a costume collection at home, which she hopes to use in future community productions. Courtesy photo and one is with Showtime sports entertainment.

Another teaches high school theater on the East Coast, and Dignan counts an associate producer on Broadway among her former students.

Six graduates were accepted to the University of Northern Colorado’s prestigious acting program, with one full-ride scholarship. (The program only accepts 30 new graduate students a year from as many as 2,000 applicants.) Two more from the 2013

class have been accepted.

Jan Wilusz, a good friend who started creating costumes when her own child was in Dignan’s productions, held a surprise retirement party where alumni came from near and far — some even flew in.

As Dignan retires, her love of theater is undiminished and she dreams of starting a local theater company. She doesn’t plan on large-scale musicals. “I want to do small shows with good scripts, a good story,” she says, and is certain there will be interested

House Approves Coffman’s Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act On May 21st, the U.S. House Representatives passed H.R. 1412, the Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2013, with overwhelming bipartisan support.

The legislation was introduced by U.S. Representative Mike Coffman (R-Colo) in response to his concerns for the growing number of unemployed Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.

“As a Marine Corps Combat veteran, I understand the unique experiences and challenges of armed services members returning home from abroad. It is imperative that we maximize the opportunities for the thousands of young men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Rep. Mike Coffman The Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act will increase the availability of on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs to help veterans make the transition to the civilian workforce. This legislation builds on an existing, yet little known and under-utilized, on-the-job training programs that help veterans learn a trade or skill by participation in an approved apprenticeship or on-the-job training program.

“The on-the-job training benefit within the New GI Bill, which we strongly supported, is one of the most underutilized benefits available to veterans for job skills

training. IAVA stands ready to support and promote innovative ideas like this to end the veterans’ unemployment crisis once and for all,” said Tom Tarantino of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA).

Congressman Coffman explained that, “We have nearly 400,000 veterans in Colorado and unemployment for them, especially young returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan between ages 20 and 24, was 19% in April. These young individuals have great leadership capabilities and unique skills sets they learned while in uniform but need help in connecting to opportunities in the domestic job market.”

H.R. 1412 will incentivize employers to reach out to veterans because the legislation authorizes the VA to pay a portion of the veteran’s salary for the first two years while the veteran is gaining on the job skills and certifications.

“Companies in my district have told me how beneficial this legislation can be for their operations because they know that veterans are hardworking, team-oriented individuals who are capable of learning the highly technical skills that are prevalent in many industries,” said Rep. Mike Coffman.

Colorado SBDC launches “Connec2DOT” website for small businesses in the transportation industry

The Colorado Small Business Development Centers Network (SBDC), in partnership with Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), launched the Connect2DOT website this week (www.connect2dot.org).

Connect2DOT provides free consulting, training and online resources for small businesses in the transportation industry. It is managed by the SBDC and funded by CDOT. The new website, which offers quick and easy access to essential information on doing business with CDOT, is part of Connect2DOT’s ongoing efforts to provide small and disadvantaged contractors with quality information and educational tools necessary to grow and succeed.

“The SBDC helps small and medium-size businesses with all aspects of their business, and for us to branch out to assist with providing more resources in this specialized area of transportation makes perfect sense,” said Kelly Manning, State Director of the Colorado SBDC Network.

“We are thrilled to partner with CDOT and help our businesses advance in this area of expertise.”

The website is organized to help contractors that are just getting started and those that are looking to build their business. Resources have been collected from various sources and consolidated into one centralized location, making it easier to find CDOT project opportunities, get certified as a small business, connect with prime contractors, and register for relevant training and events.

“The launch of the Connect2DOT website marks a key milestone in our overall plan to expand small business resources to communities throughout Colorado under the direction of the Colorado SBDCs. There is now a one-stop online resource for contractors that puts all of the information they need to compete for CDOT contracts right at their fingertips,” said Greg Diehl, Manager of the CDOT Civil Rights & Business Resource Center.

Other features of the website include an industry-wide event calendar, an interactive map of statewide SBDC locations, an opt-in bid matching system, and an email newsletter. Please visit www.connect2dot.org for the best and most up-to-date information on small business contracting in the Colorado transportation industry.

As the program evolves, Connect2DOT kiosks with website access, monitors and printers will be placed at strategic locations throughout the state. One such kiosk will be placed at the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center located at the Chamber. These kiosks will be free to use by any company interested in growing their business in the transportation industries.

“We are excited to host one of the Connect2DOT kiosks at the South Metro Denver SBDC. We will have a consultant dedicated to assisting clients grow their businesses in the transportation industry,” said Marcia McGilley, executive director of the South Metro Denver SBDC. The Colorado SBDC is a partnership between the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, the U.S. Small Business Administration, Colorado’s institutions of higher education, and local development organizations. For more information on what the South Metro Denver SBDC can do to help your business grow, visit www.smallbusinessdenver.com.

participants among the many former students in the area. “We will need corporate help,” she realizes, and she will need to find or create a venue — hopefully somewhere in Highlands Ranch.

She has a collection of costumes and props she personally paid for in the 13 years she produced theater at Highlands Ranch High School, and she speaks especially fondly of props. If she were to go another direction in the theater world, it would perhaps be props.

Dignan was discouraged as a young person from studying theater, although her mother was a German actress. She graduated from Georgia Southern in special education and used creative energy in crafts when a young mother with babies.

She first taught special education and ninth-grade English at Highlands Ranch, while taking theater classes at Denver Center Theatre Company and at University of Northern Colorado in the summers. After predecessor Wally Larson retired, she began in the theater department, building a department where the students came to hang out as well as act and learn technical theater.

“There is nothing I could have loved more,” she declares. She has 500 Facebook friends and she hopes they and other interested people will contact her about starting that new theater company in Highlands Ranch. (Barbdignan@gmail.com, 303-8038182.)

Calendar of Events

Generation and Transmission Association said “As an employer of 152 veterans, the Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2013 will provide an U.S. Representative Mike Coffman important tool in the continuation of our efforts to reach out to those men and women who have served their country and place them on a promising career path.”

This legislation passed alongside several other bills concerning veteran issues and each will now move to the Senate for consideration.

“I hope the Senate sees the value of my bill because it helps connect companies to a great pool of available talent returning from military service,” said Rep. Coffman.

Pirates perform well at scrimmage Englewood football tests talents against three different opponents

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Pirates coaches got an up-close look at the football team’s performance against opponents on June 6, when Englewood wrapped up a contact camp with scrimmages against Littleton, Jefferson and Lincoln.

“Overall, it was a good day for us,” said Jay Graves, Englewood head coach. “The guys did a pretty good job on both sides of the ball. We saw good things and plays that worked for us and we saw areas where we need to made adjustments. It gives us an idea where we need to make changes and a starting point when regular practice begins in August.”

The Pirates began the summer contact camp on May 28. Since May 31, the players have been in full pads and going through full-contact drills. The June 6 scrimmages were the first chance the Pirates got to work against someone other than teammates.

Senior Isaiah Mestas is slated to be the starting quarterback for the varsity. He directed the offense, threw passes and ran the ball himself.

I am stronger, and because I am stronger I can throw passes better. I didn’t really work on passing accuracy during the off season, but I do get a lot of practice taking part in our 7-on-7 competitions this summer.”

He said he thinks the team is looking

good. He said there are a lot of good players coming back and good young kids to replace those who graduated, so he thinks the Pirates will be a better team this season.

The Pirates are looking to have a pretty good offensive line this season, as most of the starters, like Ben McFarland, are returning this season.

“I feel great coming into this summer

because I feel like I am two or three times better right now than I was at this time last year,” the sophomore said. “We could have a pretty good line this season because just about all last year’s offensive and defensive linemen were freshmen or sophomores who are returning in the fall. Also, most of us have spent a lot of time in the weight room, so we are stronger coming into this year.”

He said it was tough last year on the line because most of the starters lacked varsity experience.

However, the varsity experience gained last season should prove to be valuable because he and his fellow linemen know the offensive blocking schemes and the defensive alignments.

McFarland is slated to play center on offense, and defensive end when the other team has the ball.

“Center is OK but I like playing defensive end better,” he said. “I like defense because I like to hit people and I have been working during the off season getting stronger and getting quicker coming off the line.”

The coaches continue to urge all players to work out in the weight room regularly, and the team will continue playing 7-on-7 tournaments and taking part in hog challenges this summer.

Practice for the fall season begins Aug. 12, with the team permitted to scrimmage on or after Aug. 22.

Englewood opens the season Aug. 30 on the road against Woodland Park. The first home game is Sept. 6 against Arvada.

Bruins in top four in diamond tourney

Red Rocks

Cherry Creek under-17 team got to semifinals

Amphitheatre

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Bruins under-17 team wasn’t very hospitable as they battled their way into the four-team championship finals in the 46team non-qualifying division of the Cherry Creek Classic Baseball Tournament.

The 46 teams were divided into 11 pools of four or five teams each for round-robin qualifying competition.

Cherry Creek went 3-0 to take top honors in their pool and to advance to the 14team championship bracket that included the pool champions plus three wild card teams.

They won two championship bracket games, defeating the Caged Rats 2-1 and besting Denver International 6-4 before losing the Grand Junctions in the semifinals. It was Cherry Creek’s first loss in 14 games this summer.

“Working with these kids is one of the most amazing experiences you can have,” Bruins coach Jeff Mielnicki said going into the June 7 pool play finals. “You get to watch kids grow and mature. You see them have positive days and you also see them have negative days and get to watch them overcome adversity and bounce back.”

He said the team looks good, maybe even better than the Cherry Creek team that won the 2012 Don Mattingly Connie Mack World Series.

Mielnicki said his team will play 55 to 60 games this summer. They will play in a league locally, and will make road trips to tournaments such as the ones in Iowa and Oklahoma City. As defending champs, in August they will return to the Mattingly Connie Mack Tournament.

“We preach defense and pitching,” the coach said. “We focused on those two aspects of our game to stay tied, and then we managed to scratch a run in the 10th inning to beat the Twin Blue team, 2-1. If we keep that focus, we’ll win a lot of games this summer.”

The Classic used high school baseball rules, with the exception that players used wooden bats rather than aluminum bats.

you do with a wooden bat,” the coach said.

“But the switch to wooden bats teaches players to keep the head down and look to hit the ball with the sweet spot on the bat to really drive it to the outfield. I think using wooden bats has helped some of my players become better hitters.”

Jack Gillit, a team veteran, sees action as the right fielder or at first base or pitching.

“To me, summer means a lot of baseball.

It means getting out on the field every day with my teammates and friends and I love it,” the 17-year-old said. “Baseball is by far my favorite sport and being on this team is great.”

He said his favorite position is in right field. He said it is where he feels the most comfortable and where he can use his speed, which is a plus covering the big outfields.

“My goal for the summer is to do my best to help our team win the league and play well to help us repeat at the nationals,” he said.

Teammate Blake Goldsberry was on the Cherry Creek junior varsity team last year, and said playing in this summer league is like taking a step up to the high school varsity level competition.

“It is a pretty big step and you have to keep working hard to play well at this level,” he said. “The game is a lot faster than at the junior varsity level, plus all the players are better. I think the higher level of competition pushes me to be a better player.”
