MY NAME IS

JIM BENTON

Super-Bowl press conference, that’s when John Elway officially came out and said he’s retiring. You’ve always got to be prepared.

Colorado Community Media sports writer, Centennial resident Backyard dreams I worked at Rocky Mountain News 41 years. I always say, “If you’ve got to go to work, you might as well go to a game.”

I got into writing in the Lincoln Log — the (Denver) Lincoln High School paper — and I’ve been doing it ever since … The old neighborhood paper, Barnum News, I wrote a few stories for them.

I’d like to say I played everything — I did in the back yard. I played baseball for two years in high school and youth baseball, too, before then.

I can remember clipping box scores out of the paper and going out in the back yard, pretending like I was an announcer.

I worked at the Clarion newspaper at the University of Denver. I’ve sort of always been in the business.

School sports over decades It has a changed a lot because high school kids follow other major sports in town … best thing is, they are more under control at least in high school — you don’t get the celebrating in the end zone. Athletically, with these Colorado Community Media spotlights — you say, “Are you in high school?”

They look older. They’re much more athletic.

In the old days, 200 pounds was a big offensive lineman — now, you can’t be — 280-290 is what it is today. You used to be able to show up and be on the team.

Jim Benton, a sports writer for Colorado Community Media, has been covering sports in the Denver area for more than 50 years. Here, he stands outside his longtime home in Centennial.

information.

I went to the University of Denver, worked at the Sports Information Department … I’d do hockey stats, deliver press releases, drop off releases at both papers — the Rocky and Denver Post.

I thought I’d apply to University of Northern Colorado’s sports information director job (but they had hired someone else).

The Rocky, that was my first reporting job. They sent me everywhere.

I went to cover the Nuggets vs.

Detroit at the McNichols arena. It was just another game, I was told. It went triple overtime. It was the highestscoring game in NBA history … You never know what you’re getting into.

I was at the Super Bowl in Miami, just doing what’s left over. It was Denver and Atlanta. The Monday-after-

Advice for young reporters Pay attention, because there’s always something in a game that’s overlooked. Everybody knows the score or who hit a home run, especially with the internet … don’t overlook something you might think is important or interesting.

I had this problem a lot: Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Sometimes, I’d think I should stop because a guy’s getting (angry with) me, but you’ve got to at least try.

Satisfied with career To be quite honest, you always want to say you want to be at the finals or Super Bowl. I got in a couple things like that. But I never said “I need to do” this or that. I just felt very fortunate to be able to be there and do what I was doing.

Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens said the department is ready and able to enforce the red flag law, which allows for the confiscations of guns from people deemed to be a threat to themselves or others.

Law allows temporary confiscation of guns from people believed to be a threat

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens said his department is ready, willing and able to enforce Colorado’s red flag law that allows law enforcement to confiscate guns from people believed to present a threat to themselves or others, but not without a search warrant.

The law, which took effect on Jan. 1, allows family members, housemates or law enforcement to seek a court order calling for guns to be removed from the home of a person believed to be a threat.

Each of the state’s law enforcement agencies was tasked with drafting their own policy for enforcing such orders, called extreme risk protection orders, or ERPOs. Though the state law does not require a search warrant to carry out citizen-initiated ERPOs, Littleton’s policy does.

“That’s for officer safety,” Stephens said. “We don’t want to have to go to a location twice. Doing it all at the same time is better than serving the order, going and coming back several days later to serve a warrant where the person is aware we’re coming and it could pose a more serious risk to the person who filed it or the person who’s serving it.”

The law’s procedure says that a judge can grant a temporary ERPO, or T/ERPO, which calls for the subject’s guns to be removed from their home within five days. The court must then set a hearing within 14 days where the subject is allowed to defend themselves. At that point, a judge may issue an order calling for the guns to stay confiscated for 364 days. The order would be revisited at the end of that period.

Littleton Police have not yet carried out any ERPO orders.

Stephens said he supports the law, and believes it has the potential to save lives.

“There are people who need assistance and intervention,” Stephens said. “If this can help make that happen in a safer way, I support that. It would be foolish to assume there aren’t incidents where if someone had interviened it may have prevented a tragedy. I think that’s probably occurred here and elsewhere.”

Stephens said he’s sensitive to issues of individual rights.

“As a conservative person, I understand it’s a slippery slope. You want to be able to protect people’s constitutional rights. It’s a tool we take very seriously.”

Stephens said he believes the law provides sufficient checks and balances to prevent abuse.

“This is only done at the order of a court,” Stephens said. “Ultimately the person this is served upon will have their opportunity to go to court before a permanent order is put in place.”

‘We meant everything to each other’ Keleshia Nash, killed at 22, hoped to emerge from troubled life

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kewhan Dickerson winces when kids ask about his family.

Dickerson, a kids’ counselor at YMCA Denver, said the youngsters he works with like to ask about his life.

When they ask if he has siblings, he says yes, he had a sister.

“I start flashing back,” said Dickerson, 28.

Dickerson’s sister, Keleshia Nash, was shot and killed by Andrew O’John in a north Littleton apartment in September 2018.

O’John, 21, was sentenced to 18 years in prison for Nash’s death on Jan. 17 — 12 years for reckless manslaughter, and 18 years for assault with a deadly weapon, to be served concurrently. In exchange for a guilty plea, prosecutors dropped a firstdegree murder charge. The district attorney’s office declined to comment on the case.

Nash, 22 when she died, and O’John had been dating for a few weeks on Sept. 26, 2018, according to testimony at a March 2019 court hearing.

That afternoon, O’John got mad after seeing a photo on Nash’s phone of her and her ex-boyfriend, O’John later told investigators, and the couple spent the evening drinking and arguing.

O’John shot Nash around midnight, according to court testimony. She died two days later at a hospital.

Dickerson said Nash’s death robbed him of her powerful, sometimes troubling spirit.

“If you were a friend, she’d go to extremes for you,” Dickerson said. “If you wanted to go do something, she’d

Kewhan Dickerson, left, with his sister Keleshia Nash shortly before she was killed in September 2018. Dickerson said his sister had a powerful but troubled spirit, and was working to lift herself out of the difficulties of her life.

COURTESY PHOTO be the first to say ‘let’s go.’ If you were in a fight, she’d be the first in your corner.”

Nash and Dickerson spent their early years with their mother, Kisha, Dickerson said. Nash’s dad left when she was young, and with Kisha suffering from lupus, the siblings had each other to lean on.

Dickerson recalled when he and his little sister would reenact scenes from Disney movies in their one-bedroom apartment.

“The Lion King, Toy Story — we knew all the lines,” Dickerson said.

“We were super close. She looked up to me. We meant everything to each other.”

When Nash was 11, she walked into

her mother’s bedroom and found her dead.

The siblings went to live with their grandma, CeCe, but Nash was never the same, her brother said.

“She started acting out,” Dickerson said. “She was seeking help. She felt like nobody understood her.”

Still, Dickerson and his sister meant a lot to each other.

“We were like yin and yang,” Dickerson said. “She needed me to tell her to calm down and not overreact. I needed her to tell me to defend myself, to express myself instead of hiding it.”

As Nash grew older, she sought male attention, Dickerson said.

“Growing up without a dad, she was trying to fill that void in her life, I

think,” he said. “She started living on the wild side, and would date guys on the wrong side of crime.”

Nash’s lifestyle got her into trouble, court records show, and at times she faced charges for shoplifting, disturbing the peace and marijuana possession. Dickerson began to drift apart from his sister.

Through it all, though, the siblings shared a devotion to their family, and to grandma CeCe, whom they called Nana.

In the months before Nash died, CeCe, suffering from pulmonary hypertension, took a turn for the worse.

The family took turns staying with her, helping her eat, use the bathroom and move around her home.

A month before Nash was killed, she left to attend a court hearing during one of her shifts with CeCe, Dickerson said. CeCe died in the hours Nash was away.

Nash was crushed, and soon fell into a depression.

“She said she wanted to be with mom and Nana,” Dickerson said. “She started drinking more. But it started bringing us back together. She would talk about trying to get out of the life she was in.

“In the last couple weeks, she was trying to pick herself up. She bought a car and started paying down her court fees. She wanted to go back to school.

She wanted to be a veterinarian. Before we’d hang up the phone, we’d say, ‘Let’s do it for Nana.’”

More than a year after Nash was killed, Dickerson said he’s starting to grasp that his sister is gone.

“I was just numb that first year,” Dickerson said. “Our family’s taking this day by day. Holidays are still pretty tough.”

Dickerson said he’s trying to carry on and live well in honor of his sister.

After losing three of the most important women in his life, Dickerson said he tries to be a comforting presence for other grieving people.

“I need to stay strong,” he said.

Republicans to appoint successor to Rep. Beckman in February Susan Beckman resigned from state House to join Health and Human Services

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Republican Party vacancy committee will appoint a successor to state Rep. Susan Beckman, of Littleton, in early February, but no candidates had officially thrown their hat in the ring as of Jan. 22.

Beckman, who represented House District 38, stepped down on Jan. 17 to take Beckman a job as the Secretary’s

Representative for Region VIII of the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a news release.

“It has been an honor to serve the people of House District 38, and I am looking forward to continuing my public service in my new position,” Beckman said in the release.

Beckman previously worked as an office director for the state Department of Human Services, according to the news release, and has spent much of her career in public policy focused on related issues.

Beckman was elected to the state HD 38 seat in 2016 and reelected in 2018. The district includes most of Littleton, Bow Mar, western Centennial and Columbine Valley.

Beckman served on the Board of Arapahoe County Commissioners from 2001-13. From 1999-2001, she

was a member of Littleton City Council.

A vacancy committee consisting of leaders of the district’s 66 precincts will appoint a replacement for Beckman in early February, said Marty Bolt, the chairman of the HD38 vacancy committee.

Nobody had yet come forward to vie for the seat as of Jan. 22, but Bolt said he expected candidates to emerge soon.

“This isn’t a normal campaign, which can be very grueling,” Bolt said. “It’s a fast-track to the Legislature. I’m sure it will be very attractive.”

Once the successor is appointed, only a few months will remain until the seat is up for grabs again in the November election.

Beckman’s campaign had already raised $12,708 in her bid for a third

term in the House. A pair of Democratic candidates, however, have raised a combined $41,000.

HD 38 was one of the area’s most competitive districts in 2018, with Beckman defeating Democrat Chris Kolker 50.4% to 49.6% — a difference of just 374 votes.

One of the Democratic candidates for the seat, David Ortiz, characterized Beckman’s departure as a sign the seat is ripe to be flipped from Republican to Democrat.

Dorothy Gotlieb, the chairperson of the Arapahoe County Republican Party, said she holds high hopes for Beckman in her new roll.

“Rep. Beckman has given great service in representing HD38,” Gotlieb said in a text, saying Beckman’s new role “is a significant honor and major recognition of Rep. Beckman’s skills, experience and leadership.”

Bill aims to repeal Colorado death penalty After Dems’ failed attempts in prior years, two key GOP votes may change outcome

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After years of coming up short, advocates of repealing the death penalty may finally cross the finish line this year with newfound support from two Republican senators.

“From a philosophical perspective, I now don’t think the state should have power over life and death,” said state Sen. Jack Tate, a Centennial Republican who was undecided on the issue last year.

Tate and Colorado Springs state Sen. Owen Hill, a Republican who also has voiced support for a repeal this year, may be Tate enough to give Democrats the edge. The state Legislature has recently seen repeated attempts to overturn the death penalty: It failed in 2013, 2017 and 2019, despite Democrats controlling both the state House and

Senate last year.

Democrats haven’t been united on the issue. Two of the three people on death row in Colorado — Sir Mario Owens and Robert Ray — were sentenced to die in connection with the 2005 murder of the son of state Sen. Rhonda Fields, an Aurora Democrat.

Her son was a witness in another murder case involving Owens.

The experience places Fields firmly in opposition to repealing the death penalty, and last year, at least a few other Democrats hadn’t publicly committed to the repeal.

In the state House, Rep. Tom Sullivan, whose son was killed in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, argues there are certain cases where capital punishment is warranted.

“There’s no question in my mind that the man that murdered my son and 11 others — 58 others shot, traumatized an entire comSullivan munity — there’s no question in my mind that he should be put to death,” said Sullivan, a Democrat from Centennial.

No charges for STEM security guard who injured students Shamson Sundara will enter a diversion program, per agreement with victims

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The privately hired security guard on duty during the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting injured two students and was illegally carrying a weapon on school grounds, 4th Judicial District Attorney Dan May said in an announcement on Jan. 24.

But the guard also detained and disarmed one of the suspects, possibly saving more lives, May said, and acted in compliance with state law by using deadly force in an effort to stop the shooting.

The guard, identified by May as Shamson Sundara, will not face charges but will enter an adult diversion program, incorporating a restorative justice forum with the shooting victims.

The forum will be mediated by the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, which began investigating the guard’s

actions during the May 7 shooting after 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler forwarded the case to the office. Brauchler’s office is prosecuting the shooting suspects, Devon Erickson, 19, and Alec McKinney, 16.

A spokeswoman said the office had no comment on May’s announcement.

As part of the agreement, Sundara will also complete 50 hours of Sundara community service. “It should be noted that this agreement was reached in consultation with the injured victims and their families, law enforcement and the Douglas County School District,� May wrote.

Video played in court hearings for McKinney, who’s accused of masterminding the attack, shows the 16-year-old walking through the school halls with a gun pointed to his head, attempting to take his life when the guard discovered him.

Sundara was able to detain and disarm McKinney, who will face trial for 43 felony charges, including murder and attempted murder. Several students were injured in the shooting. Senior Kendrick Castillo, 18, died

while rushing Erickson.

Shortly after encountering McKinney, Sundara saw an individual dressed in street clothes round the hallway and then saw the muzzle of a gun, May said. He fired two shots in the direction of the gun.

Both shots missed the person but went through the wall of a nearby classroom and injured two students.

The person Sundara shot at turned out to be a law enforcement officer. “As soon as the law enforcement officers identified themselves, Mr. Sundara immediately and fully complied with their commands,� May said.

The guard’s contract with STEM prohibited him from carrying a weapon on school grounds, but May said state statute permitted his use of deadly force in the situation. “Our investigation has determined that his actions were in compliance with the applicable law,� May said.

Sundara, 30, has worked at BOSS High Level Protection for approximately one year. BOSS president Grant Whitus said the company holds Sundara as a hero who saved lives the day of the shooting. “We didn’t believe from the beginning that Shamson would be charged

with anything, so we’re happy,�

Whitus said. “He’s certainly a key witness going forward and he’s happy to help out the prosecution.�

He was not disciplined following STEM and has been promoted to an administrative position overseeing the company’s hiring and recruiting.

Whitus said Sundara can still work in the field if he would like to. “We wouldn’t stop him from doing that,� Whitus said.

Sundara is a military veteran who saw combat in the Middle East, serving in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2008-12.

He returned home and joined the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office as a deputy in 2013, staying until 2017. Whitus worked as a sergeant for the sheriff ’s office at the time until he left to start his security firm and later hired Sundara.

Whitus said he could not comment on why Sundara was armed at STEM despite his contract prohibiting it or why he fired his weapon toward the responding law enforcement officer. “I hail both of them for what they did but in the chaos in mass shootings, things occur,� Whitus said. “He’s a witness for this prosecution, so he’s going to have to tell his story during these trials.�

Brian Pendleton, lawyer and philanthropist, dies at 80 ‘He was bigger than life,’ friend recalls

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brian Pendleton, a noted attorney and philanthropist, passed away on Jan. 16 at age 80.

The longtime Littleton resident is survived by his wife, Susan Stein; two daughters; two stepchildren; and eight grandchildren.

Pendleton became well-known as the senior partner of the Pendleton law firm Pendleton and Sabian, which focused on commercial real estate law.

Rethink Your Space

Pendleton was a gifted lawyer, recalled attorney Alan Friedberg, who worked alongside Pendleton for decades and stayed close friends after Pendleton’s retirement in 2000. “We had a good-guy, bad-guy routine,� Friedberg remembered. “Brian was the good guy.�

Friedberg said in one case, their client was sued by a big-time developer from the Denver Tech Center, who alleged their client violated an easement on a piece of property. “Through some diligence, we discovered (the plaintiff) had given up that easement,� he said. “We had a meeting, and Brian got him to commit to his story in a nice package, then I got to pull out the documents showing he was lying. The case went away. We loved those Perry Mason moments.�

Born in 1939 in New Jersey, Pendle-

ton graduated from Yale University in 1961. He served as a gunnery officer in the Navy from 1961-65.

After obtaining a law degree from Nebraska’s Hastings College in 1968, Pendleton was admitted to the Colorado bar. He and Michael Sabian founded Pendleton & Sabian in 1970.

The firm was a dynamic place, Friedberg said. “I joined in 1975 — the firm was five years old, and Brian was only 36, but it had an incredible reputation. He was the old guy on the crew. We were young and energetic, and in every way the equal of the big firms.�

Over the years, Pendleton racked up a hefty list of accomplishments: he was a founding board member of the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center, helped Mary Carter establish her eponymous trail along the Platte River,

Use your home equity for home improvements

was elected president of the board of the Japan-America Society of Colorado, and was president of the World Trade Center Denver from 1995-97.

After he retired at age 60 in 2000, he and his wife, Susan, embarked on a variety of world travels, including Central and South America, and a canoe trip down the Mississippi River.

Friedberg said his old friend left an admirable legacy. “He wasn’t always the easiest guy to work for, but his humanity was always front and center. He was bigger than life.�

A celebration of Pendleton’s life will be held at the Jefferson Unitarian Church at 14350 West 32nd Ave. in Golden at 11 a.m. on Feb. 15.

The family requests that those who wish to make gifts donate to their favorite charity in his name.

BILL FROM PAGE 5

The jury in theater shooter James Holmes’ case did not unanimously agree on the death penalty, so Holmes was not sentenced to death.

‘Irreversible mistakes’ Eighteenth Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler argues that the death penalty is a useful negotiation tool, pointing to the case of Chris Watts, a Frederick man who pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty after killing his wife and daughters in 2018.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado calls the death penalty “an expensive, ineffective, and unjust government program that risks making irreversible mistakes by executing innocent people, delays justice for victims’ families, and wastes millions of dollars that could be better used on programs that actually save lives and increase public safety,” its website says. At least 166 people have been exonerated from death rows across the country, an ACLU Colorado fact sheet says.

The organization also argues that in Colorado, racial minorities are disproportionately likely to face the death penalty.

Research has found “you can’t draw conclusions one way or the other,” Brauchler said.

The district attorney argued that for inmates with life sentences for murder, taking away the death penalty would remove the potential for further punishment if they kill a prison guard or another inmate.

“It will essentially say once you do your first murder, the rest are free,” Brauchler said.

Rare application This year’s proposal, Senate Bill 20-100, would repeal the death penalty for offenses charged on or after July 1, 2020.

Gov. Jared Polis has said that if the Legislature repeals the death penalty, he’d consider commuting Colorado’s death row inmates’ sentences. A vote for the repeal bill is a vote for that outcome, Brauchler said.

The last time Colorado executed an inmate was in 1997, and the most recent time before that was in 1967.

Fields, Sullivan and Brauchler all prefer the question of repealing the death penalty to be answered by voters in a statewide ballot question.

Tate said he understands that preference but that he has a “traditional view of the role of the lawmaker.”

“I notice that we don’t send every tough decision at the Capitol to a vote of the people,” Tate said.

Author shares some secrets about the Lakewood landmark

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

t’s easy to get lost in awe by the cliff diving, waterfall, live performances and Mexican food that is all packaged inside Casa Bonita — and Don Whitcomb wants the world to know about the Lakewood restaurant. “When you walk in, you’re flabbergasted. It’s that fantastic of a place,� said Whitcomb who managed Casa Bonita’s serving line from 1982 to 1984. “It really is the kind of thing that you can go to many, many times.

You’ll learn more and see more each time you go through.�

Whitcomb’s book “The Casa Bonita You Never Knew� details the history, architecture and more that makes the restaurant so iconic. He shared some facts and his secret Casa Bonita sopapilla recipe at the History Happy Hour event at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park on Jan. 14.

Here are some highlights from Whitcomb’s discussion about Casa Bonita.

HOW TO BUY �THE CASA BONITA YOU NEVER KNEW�

“The Casa Bonita You Never Knew� book, authored by Don Whitcomb, is $19.95 and can be purchased by emailing brotherbobsbooks@gmail.com. It details the history, architecture and more that makes the Lakewood restaurant a landmark.

Don Whitcomb, who managed Casa Bonita’s serving line from 1982 to 1984, shares facts about Casa Bonita at the History Happy Hour event at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park on Jan. 14. Whitcomb wrote the book “The Casa Bonita You Never Knew.� JOSEPH RIOS restaurant, or it would take what he had leveraged, leading to Waugh and his partners coming up with the idea to open the top half of the restaurant. The bottom of it remained unfinished.

After six months of business, Waugh had enough money to finish the downstairs portion of the restaurant and to pay the bank back. “We’re kind of fortunate to have Casa Bonita today because of Bill and his guys coming up with that idea,� said Whitcomb.

Casa Bonita almost didn’t exist Bill Waugh opened the Lakewood Casa Bonita location in 1974 — but it almost didn’t exist.

Waugh had borrowed a good amount of money from a bank to build the restaurant, but he went through it all before construction was done. He had leveraged two Casa Bonita locations in Oklahoma, Taco Buenos he owned and his home to build the Lakewood Casa Bonita, Whitcomb says.

The bank told Waugh he had to turn some profit for the unfinished

Top secret DIY dish Casa Bonita’s menu options are as is, but if you keep your plate long enough for the restaurant’s sopapillas to come out, you can try Whitcomb’s favorite combo.

Rip off a corner of the sopapilla, and then you pour in cheese, taco meat and lettuce. Whitcomb describes the dish as a stuffed taco. He got the idea from one of his former bosses when he was working at the restaurant. “He said if I ever see you making one, I’m going to fire you right on the spot,� Whitcomb said.

Faces in the rocks Next time you’re at Casa Bonita, be sure to look closely at the cliff inside the restaurant. You’ll find faces in the rocks. “Once you see it, it’s very pronounced. (The faces) just follow you everywhere you go, it’s crazy,� said Whitcomb.

Artifacts from Mexican mines Inside Casa Bonita, you’ll find pieces of Mexico inside the restaurant’s gold and silver mines.

The mines contain artifacts from a Mexican mine, including ore carts, pillars and rails.

“It was all picked out at a mine. That’s one of the reasons you get authenticity,� said Whitcomb.

Aside from mining artifacts, the gold mine contains actual gold dust on the wall.

Hidden names in the cavern One of the secrets hidden inside Casa Bonita can be found when you walk through the restaurant’s cavern. If you look in the middle of the runoff in the cavern, you’ll find the names of every designer of the restaurant. “There’s some fascinating things that people don’t know. I would love to interview everyone that ever worked (at Casa Bonita),� said Whitcomb.

Arapahoe youth awards nominations now open County mayors, commissioners seek high school seniors who have overcome personal adversity STAFF REPORT

High school seniors in Arapahoe County who have overcome personal adversity and created positive change in their lives are eligible for the Arapahoe County Mayors and Commissioners Youth Awards program.

The group of local leaders works with the Arapahoe County Foundation and outside sponsors to award the onetime scholarships. Students are free to use the scholarships at vocational, two-year or four-year colleges in the 2020-21 or 2021-22 academic years as long as they’ve enrolled before the end of 2020.

Students must live and attend school in Arapahoe County, but their education can be in a nontraditional setting such as a group home or an alternative school. Qualified students must be nominated by teachers, counselors

or other educators who are not related to the nominee. Relatives of county employees are not eligible to be nominated.

To have a student considered, nominating adults must complete the nomination form and submit it along with an essay, written by the nominee, that highlights, in no more than 400 words, what the student has overcome and learned to reach this point, and what they hope to accomplish in the future.

“It’s difficult for many students to afford post-secondary education, yet without this level of schooling it’s almost impossible to get a job that pays a living wage,” Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Jackson said in a news release. “The youth awards recognize the hard work its takes to overcome all kinds of adversity, and these scholarships provide some help for bright, driven and resilient students toward achieving their longterm goals.”

The deadline for submitting nomination form is 5 p.m. Friday, Feb 28.

Forms should be emailed to lcannon@ arapahoegov.com. For information, visit the Arapahoe County Mayors and Commissioners Youth Awards page on Arapahoegov.com.

Journalists are not supposed to begin a story with details of secondary importance.

However, I am uncertain what my lead is this week. Perhaps by the time I have Craig Marshall finished I will know.

Of course, by then Smith it will be too late.

Why? Why? Why? What if journalists for this publication and for the major dailies were equally lax and leisurely when they reported, oh, let’s say an impeachment hearing?

“There were like all these men and women in this big room and they were like arguing, you know, and this one guy Mitch-something he, uh, boy, was he upset about something.”

I may not know what my lead is, but I know exactly what I am doing.

I am defusing something of great importance with something of little importance. It’s what I do — it’s what we do — in order to survive.

There was an article in the paper about a bicycle race that took place in Leadville. The woman who was in the lead most of the way fell back because, she said, “I couldn’t get the lead out.”

As I dwindle and fade, I am fascinated by things I wasn’t when I was younger and had other considerations on my mind, such as the birds, the bees, and how to osculate.

Now, as I swan song my way into the arms of oblivion, it’s often words that fascinate me, and it’s why I am saddened by the abuse of them as I have noted many times before.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Looking to the future We are in caring hands with our latest city council membership. With Pam Grove, Kelly Milliman and Scott Melin joining Karina Elrod, the city has taken a step forward to express our appreciation and acceptance to our surrounding immigrant cultures that represent the future of American growth.

Littleton now proudly looks forward to a time when our racial composition will be more diverse. My wife and I volunteer at the Littleton Immigrant Resources Center. So far, we have helped citizens from Mexico, Japan, Iran, South Korea, Ghana and Vietnam. They either wish to improve their English speaking skills or seek help to pass the citizenship examination.

Regardless, they all humbly display their lack of English, a very complicated language, becoming vulnerable to a teacher with command of the same. All of our students have been hard workers. They represent America’s future.

David Eberhard Littleton Gardner badly falling short Considering the latest evasion tactics of Cory Gardner, I can only conclude he is a senator only in his own mind — in his imagination.

When confronted by local news media, the senator evaded questions about the impeachment trial (for which he is a juror), escaping to the DIA parking lot for a meeting (another figment of his imagination?). He has also evaded the question about whether it is OK for a president to seek foreign assistance to win an election. Yes or no, Cory. That question doesn’t demand an elaborate answer.

We constituents can’t ask him directly about his positions as he’s not held an open town hall in over two years, so we rely on the free press to get answers for us.

When an incumbent represents me, I want to hear fullthroated, clear, concise statements to questions posed about where they stand on issues.

So something is said about the shirt your husband wears to your son’s funeral.

That’s another one of my film references.

It comes from “Ordinary People,” a movie directed by Robert Redford that stars Mary Tyler Moore who gave the best performance of her career.

She is the controlling matriarch of a family in disrepair after the oldest son died.

She scolds her husband, portrayed

by Donald Sutherland, on the day of the funeral because of the color of the shirt he has chosen to wear.

I have isolated that scene numerous times. There’s a lot in it.

It also changed my opinion of Mary Tyler Moore. I didn’t think much of either of her situation comedies.

Think of abundance, not scarcity, and win consistently

t has been said that the fear of loss is more powerful than the possibility of gain. It has also been said that some of us live with an abundance mentality while others choose to live with a scarcity mindset.

In a recent strategic and tactical planning session with a few clients, this very topic became one of the drivers of WINNING our conversations. We WORDS were discussing potential partnerships for the company, and as we did, one person championed the idea while another person shot down the idea. The person championing the idea was convinced that the partnership would yield additional results and Michael Norton revenue. The person who was against the partnership felt like effort would create problems, as they already had competing partners, projects, and priorities.

Basically, the opinion was that the pie was already too small and creating another slice might dilute the best

As I facilitated the discussion and listened to both sides, I stopped the conversation and asked if it would be helpful if I shared a story about a company and individuals facing a similar situation and where some advice that I had been given really paid off. The team said yes, and I shared some of the greatest pieces of wisdom that I had ever received.

As we revisited the abundancy versus scarcity mentality, I first shared with them the following statement, “There is money and opportunity everywhere.” A former colleague of mine who had decided to leave the position he was in to take an executive role with another company had written an email to all of us as he finished up and was about to leave the organization. It was motivating and encouraging with just the right sense and tonality appropriate for his departure.

The burning question on everyone’s mind was why. Why was he choosing to leave? For some, they believed he saw a bigger and greater opportunity ahead,

Political conflict? It’s our fault, but there’s help

Since the first of January, I’ve had so many speaking requests GUEST for “how to manage political conflicts” COLUMN it’s hard to keep up.

albeit risky, and he was stepping out to take a chance and believe in the abundance mentality. Others believed he left because he saw the company as having hit their peak and that any opportunity for future growth was going to be limited. Fewer deals, fewer sales, and less earning potential. This was a scarcity mentality that invoked fear for those who couldn’t see the bigger picture.

By the end of our strategy session, we all agreed that the partnership made sense and created a plan to manage the existing partnerships, priorities, and projects to maximize success while also creating a plan to optimize the new partnership. The abundance mentality had won the day.

Outside of business, how often do we choose the scarcity mentality, afraid of what could go wrong instead of planning for what will go right?

Our defensiveness kicks in and we condition ourselves to think or say “No” first. We see life through the lens of loss instead of gain. Then one day,

— gerrymandering has created more partisan districts, which triggers primary elections. So in those, whoever can prove to be the most left or right, gets elected. When they get to the Capitol, they’re on those far ends of the political spectrum and can headlock.

Thanks to Citizens United, add all the secret “dark money” ads that are rude, negative, and often factually false.

And now, we’re stuck in our personal algorithms on social media and are limited to our own bubbles of likeminded news feeds and friends’ posts so we’re only seeing what we want to see and we don’t get to hear other points of view for any balance.

So what are we doing? Some of us are glued to the impeachment proceedings, political commentary from our favorite news source, and then do our best to persuade all those around us of the way as we see it. Others might gingerly talk about politics (if someone shares with us exactly what we need to hear, that money and opportunity are everywhere, all we have to do is pursue it and take the actions necessary to get after each opportunity.

If we never ask the questions we want to ask, the answer will always be no. If we leave every putt short, the ball will never go into the hole.

Regardless of our career, role, or interests, there is opportunity everywhere, and not only is opportunity everywhere, it is available to each and every one of us. It just becomes so much easier with an abundance mentality instead of a scarcity mentality.

How about you? Do you see the obstacles or the opportunities? Is your belief system a limiting belief system or an expansive belief system? As always, I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can see the abundance of opportunities everywhere, it really will be a better than good week.

Then the rest of us are doing everything we can to avoid having those conversations at all. We end up getting into conflict with family members or lifelong friends and now many of us have ended friendships, cut off family members, or just retreat in isolation.

Some statistics show that one in 10 divorces since 2016 list political differences contributed to the split. Other data show that now almost 50% of parents don’t want their children marrying into the “other” political party.

What good is any of this for us as a family, community, or country? In another election year, how do we talk politics without yelling, seething, or silencing each other or ourselves?

In conversation, how do we ethically maintain relationships while keeping integrity with our own values? How

do we get to empathy and understanding to transform our minds, relationships, and nation?

Before you get even more depressed, there is some good news. There are conflict management techniques that can help. That’s next month’s column.

But if you can’t wait till then, you’re welcome to catch one of our Inside Civics events for tips. In the meantime, the biggest hint is to stay curious with others and keep an open mind. We’ll see if they can do that in Congress. Or maybe we’ll have to show them how.

Community service groups push for younger recruits amid membership challenges

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

hey help distribute eyeglasses to people in need in other countries. They make sure cancer patients get Valentine’s Day gifts. They light children’s faces up with much-needed school supplies. They’re the smiling faces at community concerts and other events.

And yet many people have no idea they exist.

“The name is not out there,” said Mike Shaw, a 63-year-old Lakewood resident who volunteers with the Kiwanis Club of Belmar, a local chapter of the international Kiwanis service organization. He didn’t know what Kiwanis was until around the time he joined, now 13 years ago.

Familiar names to older crowds — such as the Rotary and Lions, similarly minded service groups — have been struggling for decades as participation has declined. A bevy of news stories in recent years — and not-so-recent years — has pointed to that trend. As far back as 1992, a New York Times story sounded the alarm about membership decline for various possible reasons, such as Americans staying less rooted in one place or young people possibly feeling like the clubs were “out of synch with the times.”

“On balance, I think the Rotary has declined in membership and has not appealed to younger generation or women,” said Lynn Hoffman, professor of business management at Metropolitan State University of Denver and a Rotary member since 1994. “My particular club has been a little better about getting women and diversity and younger people in, but that’s not true generally.”

One president of a small Lions club in the Northglenn-Thornton area remembers the Lions being much more of a local fixture.

“I can remember as a kid we would have Lions picnics with all the families together,” said Zoe Reese, whose father was a founding member of her club in 1959. Reese felt the club was more connected to the community back then.

Clubs such as Reese’s have experienced shrinking numbers. That trend may be due in part to an aging membership base, something that Rotary clubs in general have experienced and are focusing on, said Gail Lehrmann, a Parker resident and president of the Rotary Club of Parker.

Many members have died or moved away, Reese said of her club. The overall trend is a loss in clubs in her north Denver metro area, she said, but some, such as in Arvada and Denver’s Stapleton neighborhood, are new or revitalized.

“Yes, it’s smaller, but we ain’t dead yet,” Reese said.

Theories abound on why, including the idea that young people may not identify with an older crowd. Then there’s the societal change that social media has brought about, allowing young people to find connection without the aid of community groups.

“I think (that’s) partially correct there,” Hoffman said. “I don’t think that’s the whole answer, but yes, they’re meeting their social needs totally differently than we are.”

Lehrmann chalked it up to society becoming “so fast and so computerized and go-go-go.”

“If I look at what I went through in high school, it doesn’t compare at all to what kids in middle school and high school do now,” said Lehrmann, 68, pointing out that parents in this era support kids’ sports teams and other activities. “Kids have so many more opportunities than I had when I grew up.”

Young people today also face added pressure to succeed economically, possibly pushing them to be busier than youth in past decades were. Many students at Metropolitan State are in their mid20s and don’t have time for community service while working and attending school, Hoffman said.

“I know they’re worried about doing as well as their parents. When you ask a class, you get half ” who think they’ll do as well, Hoffman said.

“Ten years ago, most people would say yes.”

One of Hoffman’s classes is small — only 10 students — but just two out of that 10 said they’ve heard of clubs such as the Rotary and Kiwanis.

“I think going to school is so stressful for people” that they don’t have time for service, said Eloy Moya, a 22-year-old in Hoffman’s class.

“I don’t think it’s the fact that we don’t want to help other people — I just don’t know what those clubs are.”

Moya worked at a nonprofit and noted there are other avenues by which to give back to the community. Many of Hoffman’s students said they’d consider joining a service club after graduation, though.

In this era, service clubs have made efforts to cater to younger people who are interested in volunteering but are too busy for weekly meetings.

The Rotary started online “e-clubs,” where people can get involved in projects and meet online instead of having meetings physical places, Hoffman said.

For years, branches of clubs for a younger crowd — such as the Rotary’s Interact Clubs for middle- and high- school students and Rotaract

for ages 18 to 30 — have made a direct effort to get young people involved, Hoffman said.

And still, all over the metro area, groups as small as four and some large as dozens meet at local restaurants and offer free lunch or breakfast for members, planning their volunteer efforts and enjoying each other’s company.

Shaw’s Belmar Kiwanis club has gone door-todoor at local businesses and makes pitches for recruitment while volunteering at Lakewood events such as the city’s summer concert series.

The club hasn’t gotten many bites, but it isn’t giving up.

Dominick Breton, a 35-year-old Wheat Ridge resident who rose up the ranks to become lieutenant governor of a Jefferson County region of Kiwanis clubs, emphasized the importance of service clubs in communities.

“Kids need Kiwanis,” Breton said, echoing a slogan of the club. “We’re all about kids and giving back to the community. It gets you going at the start of your day.”

Memoir recounts longing, looking for birth mother

Seattle author has roots in area around Littleton

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sara Easterly recently introduced her newly published memoir, “Searching for Mom,” to an audience at Littleton’s Tattered Cover, where the book sold out. Easterly, a Seattle resident for 20 years, says she still has Littleton area connections and memories: Her dad lives in Castle Pines and her sister is in Highlands Ranch.

When we spoke via phone recently, she recalled growing up in the Littleton area: living on Windermere Way and in Centennial (Highlands 460) and attending Powell Middle School, Arapahoe High School and CSU, where she minored in English, as a start on a broadcast journalism career. “I just didn’t do that,” she continued. “You have to start in a small market …”

Instead, she headed west to Seattle, to work in high-speed data processing, which didn’t work out — and met her husband, which did work out ...

She started writing as a young girl, she says in this memoir of growing up an adoptee, with a loving home, but still … She was compelled to seek out her birth mother and be reassured about her origins before she could get on with her adult life smoothly. “In adoption circles, there’s a phrase: `living in the fog,’” Easterly said.

with back-to-back trips for Sara, struggling with her mom’s impending death, searching and finding spiritual help and launching into childhood memories of herself as a 7-yearold, caring for a dying butterfly and discovering her family church and its teachings, as her mother became more involved there … At 9, she was able to express her feeling that her birth mother hadn’t wanted her — “threw her away …”

And her struggle to find that birth mother — and to define “the perfect mother” — stayed with her, despite a loving home and parents who supported her. Her adoptive mother did later give birth to her sister, Amy, who married and had a baby named Kenna, with whom Sara fell in love … and for whom she grieved when a genetic lung disorder took the baby’s life.

Sara married Jeff happily and tried to be a “Perfect Parent” to daughters Violet and Olive, but the search for her mother continued, aided by her loving husband … and an adoption search agency.

It had been a “gray market” adoption, rather than one conducted through an agency, because the mother was only 15 when Sara was born and she was immediately pressured to consider adoption, so conventional search channels did not work. When that mother was finally located, Sara refused to accept her at first, having dreamed up idealized figures resembling Madonna or Rebeca, a psychologist who headed a group counseling program. Here was a woman who looked like her …

And her adoptive mom really wanted nothing to do with finding the

“Couldn’t all three hearts be honored?’ Sara wondered. But as she learned of the obstetrician’s pressure on the young mother, Diane, to give the child up for adoption — and societal pressures, she backed off.

The book continues to its last pages as Sara and Amy travel final days with their mom and Sara finds increasing certainty about her faith.

A contributing factor was a genetic predisposition to a lung disorder, which took baby Kenna and eventually, Sara and Amy’s mom. Later, Sara developed lung problems, and survived a double lung transplant.

Throughout, her faith carried her through and it enters into her final sentence …

SPORTS STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

She’s making a big impact Q&A with Clark What or who motivates you most to excel in basketball?

The game itself and the family that surrounds me with my teammates and my coach. They are always like making me do my best.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

Physics. It makes sense to me right now and I am understanding it the best, which makes it fun.

What do you like to do away from sports and school?

I usually spend time with my friends or family. I love hiking so we do that a lot.

What are your plans after high school?

I am committed to go play basketball at Colorado State and I am going to be majoring in mechanical engineering, so physics is preparing me for that.

ali Clark had adjustments to make before playing basketball at Cherry Creek High School.

Clark played her freshman and sophomore seasons at Class 3A Lamar before moving to 5A Cherry Creek last season, where she helped the Bruins win the state girls basketball championship to go along with one state title she was part of as a frosh on the Lamar basketball team.

“It was kind of a big adjustment,” admitted the 6-foot-3 Clark. “Lamar was a 3A school. We had 400 kids versus here where there are 4,000.

It was an adjustment in school, and

the athletics definitely got much harder. So my classes are harder here and there’s more competition.”

Clark could move among the top 10 career rebounders in the state this season, as she is currently 14th and 63 rebounds out of the top 10.

“The biggest change I saw was size,” said Clark who was one of the leaders on the Bruins’ volleyball team. “At Lamar when I used to play there I was always the biggest on the floor and in most cases that is usually what happens here. But you do see the Lauren Betts (Grandview sophomore) of the world at 6-7 and the average overall has increased.

My role has increased a little bit. I doing more rebounding and having to take more shots because I’m one of the leading scorers on the team.”

What is the key to being a good rebounder?

Height obviously helps and just being able to realize where the ball might go and just being in position early. And fighting early to get an easier spot.

How hard is it when you get into foul trouble?

I try and play as clean as I can for the first couple quarters but if I get a foul I back off so I can stay in the game. If I get fouls later I don’t have to worry about it as much.

COACH’S TAKE: COACH’S TAKE: ‘A big aspect of her game that is underrated is how good her hands are. She catches everything. She is such an intelligent player. She is just not a big kid, she is a really skilled basketball player.’

Clint Evans, Cherry Creek girls basketball coach

Siblings bond over basketball

S

ometimes for Rocky Beers and his sister Raegan, it is difficult not to bring what happens on the basketball court home with them.

Rocky, a 6-foot-6 senior, and Raegan, a 6-3 sophomore, are having good seasons so far for the Valor Christian boys and girls basketball teams.

However, often OVERTIME what happens on the basketball floor winds up coming home.

“Usually when we get home we talk about our school day and our practice and what happened because we Jim Benton didn’t see each other’s practice, so we talk about what happened,” said Raegan, who is averaging 14.6 points and 9.3 rebounds for the Eagles.

“A lot of it goes home,” agreed Rocky, who was a tight end on the football team and is scoring 7.9 points and grabbing 8.5 rebounds for the basketball team. “College basketball is always on our TV at home.”

“We’re a pretty close family so we tell each other pretty much everything about what is going on, mostly basketball,” added Raegan. “Usually all the stuff about basketball comes home.”

Both admit to being competitive with each other.

“Yeah we are competitive,” said Raegan. “We race to everything to who is going to shower first or who eats what first and like who gets the leftovers.”

Both almost simultanously utter that Rocky is usually first.

The siblings got to watch each other play several times during the preseason but not during the Jeffco conference season because of scheduling.

So what is the reaction when they do watch the other play?

Are there positive or negative responses?

“I get to see most of her tournaments during the offseason,” said Rocky. “That’s pretty fun. For me it’s more like healthy criticism, like `you could do this better’ or it’s like `hey, make your free throws.’

“For her, she is more encouraging.”

Though a T/ERPO is only a civil order, not a criminal one, Stephens said Littleton’s policy of obtaining a search warrant gives the order more heft.

“As our officers develop information on calls, whether they be mental health, assault or domestic violence, if the criteria are met, we’d certainly seek out those orders,” Stephens said.

orders, Stephens said that will vary depending on the situation.

“There’s no blanket response to how we’ll serve these,” Stephens said. “In some, we’ll be able to contact individuals, and hopefully they’ll be cooperative and we can carry this out in a low-key manner. In others, we may have to use a tactical team. We never rule out options.”

The safety of the community is the highest priority, Stephens said.

“People argue about due process, but in an emergency where there’s extreme risk, sometimes due process is delayed a little bit in the interest of safety,” Stephens said. “We want to comply with the spirit of the law and we’ll do everything we can to get it right.”
