The first retail establishment — a Starbucks — is slated to open this spring at Littleton Village, the sprawling mixed-use development at Broadway and Dry Creek Road, roughly three years after ground was broken on the residential portion of the site. Other uses, including a medical office building and a large hotel, are in the works.

Other retailers attached to or interested in coming to the site have come and gone in recent months, but developer Jack Buchanan, whose Loch Lomond LLC holds a nearly half-ownership stake in the site’s retail and commercial portion, said he’s hopeful for the future.

“We’ve had our struggles,” Buchanan said. “But we’re feeling like there’s a plan that things can move much quicker. Retail has been suffering for a bit, but we’re seeing activity come back.”

Buchanan said he and a business partner have been negotiating with a handful of SEE VILLAGE, P9

Rats cause trouble in local neighborhoods

Decline in predators, hike in development worsen rodent issues

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rats are a problem as old as humanity, and Littleton is no exception.

It’s a problem that’s become very real for Shannan MacDonald, who has lived in an apartment building at Broadway and Powers Avenue for nine years.

Rats have moved into the area around her building in the last couple years, and have twice chewed through belts in her car’s engine, MacDonald said.

“We suddenly started seeing giant rats around the dumpster in the parking lot in 2016 or so,” MacDonald said.

“You’d see them crawl up into your cars. You could see the teeth marks in my belts, and a mechanic told me that rats like to chew on the rubber. Once a belt popped while I was driving my daughter to school.”

MacDonald said other residents of the building have had similar prob-

lems, and the building’s landlords put out bait boxes and gave her poison to put out.

“I’m not crazy about the poison, because it kills all the squirrels too,” MacDonald said. “I’ve been more selective with it lately.”

Still, she said she checks her car engine routinely to make sure no rats are inside.

A Facebook thread on the topic garnered dozens of responses from locals, sharing horror stories of greenhouses and crawlspaces teeming with rats.

One woman said she killed two dozen rats around her home near Slaughterhouse Gulch last fall.

Natural cycles drawing down the predator population as well as increased development activity may be driving reports of rats around the city, officials say.

“Simple things like construction can increase the visibility of rats,” said Monty Deatrich, environmental health manager for Tri-County Health Department.

“When you disturb infrastructure, that can push rodents out into the surrounding community.”

Neighbors complained of rats after the demolition of the old office buildings that preceded Vita, the apartment complex under construction across Littleton Boulevard from the Littleton Municipal Courthouse, said Littleton Neighborhood Resources Manager Mark Barons.

“Other than that, we haven’t heard much,” Barons said.

An increased rat population may be related to a decrease in the population of predators like coyotes and foxes, said Terry Carr, Littleton’s animal control officer.

“We saw a big outbreak of mange among the predators a few years back,” Carr said. “It’s a parasite that hits them pretty hard, and makes it tough for them to survive cold weather. It’s nature’s way of thinning out the herd.”

While rats don’t carry rabies, Deatrich said, they do spread germs because of their garbage-dwelling habits.

While they can be controlled, rats will never be completely eradicated in Littleton, Deatrich said.

“Rats are part of Mother Nature,” Deatrich said. “There’ll always be some out there.”

WHAT YOU CAN DO Residents can take precautions against rats with some simple guidelines, said Tri-County Health Department Environmental Health Manager Monty Deatrich.

Among the pointers: • Don’t use poison against rats, as the poison can travel up the food chain through predators like cats, dogs, or birds of prey.

Use live traps instead, or call a professional exterminator.

• Seal entry points in your home with steel wool or hardware cloth. Rats can enter a hole the size of a quarter, and mice can enter a hole the size of a dime.

• Keep garbage in sealed containers, and don’t put the lid up against a fence.

• Bring pet food and water bowls in at night, and try to keep birdseed from accumulating.

• Prevent buildup of pet waste.

• Don’t overwater your yard or garden. Trim bushes 12 inches up, and pick up fallen fruits from trees.

• Stack firewood away from fences.

If you have questions, call Tri-County Health Department at 303-220-9200 or go to tchd.org

The president and CEO of Craig Hospital, a world-renowned rehabilitation hospital for people who have sustained spinal cord and/or brain injuries, will retire effective Jan. 1, 2019, according to a news release.

Mike Fordyce has been with Craig Hospital for 10 years.

“Over the past decade, Mike has built upon Craig’s legacy of providing world-class care to patients and their families,” said Justin Moninger, chair of the Craig Hospital Board of Directors. Fordyce oversaw a $90 million, three-year construction and expansion project to the hospital’s campus. He served on the Craig Hospital Board of Directors

from 1998 to 2005 and was chairman of the board in 2003-04.

“It has been an honor to lead Craig Hospital alongside our dedicated management team and staff,” Fordyce said.

A committee has been put in place by the hospital’s board of directors to conduct a thorough, national search for candidates to replace Fordyce. David Fordyce Conner from the executive search firm of Witt Kieffer has been engaged to work on behalf of the search committee.

The board’s goal is to announce the new president and CEO toward the end of the year.

Officers cleared in fatal shooting following chase Littleton, Englewood police actions ruled justified

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton and Englewood police officers were justified in using deadly force to stop a pair of fleeing suspects after a chaotic car chase that originated in Littleton last June, the Denver District Attorney’s Office ruled earlier this month.

Littleton police officers Anthony Guzman, Luke McGrath and Joseph Carns, and Englewood police officer Brian Martinez fired a total of 44 shots at three different locations while attempting to stop a pair of suspects in a stolen vehicle in a car chase that spanned three cities — Littleton, Englewood and Denver — beginning on June 29 and stretching into June 30.

Police had little comment on the case, citing an ongoing investigation.

Denver District Attorney Beth McCann published a report on the incident on Feb. 7 that cleared the officers of wrongdoing, saying the investigation showed they reasonably feared for their lives on three occasions in which they fired at the car and its occupants. McCann’s office handled the investigation because much of the chase, including its conclusion, occurred in Denver.

Suspect Marta Sanchez, 36, who

was allegedly driving the car, was left a paraplegic after being hit with multiple rounds fired by officers, and suspect Stephanie Lopez, 32, was killed. Another man who admitted to being in the car with the women, Dominic Martinez, 32, bailed out before the women were shot, the report says.

An unnamed fourth suspect, a man, is believed to still be wanted in the case.

The suspects did not fire at officers during the chase, though police say they repeatedly tried to hit officers with the stolen car, according to the report.

The case was recently handed over to Littleton police, said Cmdr. Trent Cooper, department spokesman.

The chase The incident began in the final minutes of June 29, 2017, when a group approached a man sitting in his white sedan on the street outside the Dunkin Donuts at 4670 W. Mineral Ave., and asked for a ride to the Lucky U Motel in Englewood, according to the district attorney’s report. When the man refused, a female in the group fired a shot over the man’s head, and the group took the man’s car and headed north.

Littleton police officers spotted the car moments later, and pursued it northbound on Santa Fe Drive, the report states. The suspects drove fast and recklessly, the report says, narrowly missing a motorcyclist at Santa

Fe Drive and Oxford Avenue.

The three Littleton officers pursuing the car headed north into Denver, where Carns rammed the car, causing it to spin out, a move known as a “PIT maneuver.” Officers surrounded the car and ordered the occupants out, but the driver revved the engine and sped toward Guzman, who fired nine times into the car, the report says. McGrath, nearby, fired seven rounds into the car.

The car continued on, however, and suspect Dominic Martinez told investigators later that he bailed out of the car at that time. The unnamed fourth suspect appears to already have been gone by this time.

The car headed east from the scene along Arkansas Avenue, turning into a maze of dead-end streets in an industrial area between Santa Fe Drive and railroad tracks.

Officers performed another PIT maneuver on South Bannock Street, causing the car to spin out again. This time, the driver backed up toward the officers, who were positioned behind their cruisers.

“At this point, I’m concerned that … we’re going to get hit by our own cars,” Guzman told investigators.

Guzman fired twice more into the car, and Carns fired five times — one of which was later determined to be a shot to the head that killed Lopez, according to the report.

The car evaded officers again, heading south on Bannock Street.

“I realized … if we don’t stop the car now … she is going to hurt somebody or she’s going to hurt another officer,” Guzman told investigators.

Final moments Guzman sped after the car, and slammed into it once more, causing it to hit a curb. At that moment, Englewood police officer Brian Martinez, who had been racing north from Englewood to assist officers after he heard a report of shots fired, arrived and pulled in front of the suspects’ car.

Officers Guzman and Martinez approached the car and ordered the suspects out. The driver started driving toward Martinez, and both officers began firing again — Guzman 11 times and Martinez five times.

Lopez, the female passenger of the car, was hit by multiple rounds. Sanchez, the driver, was hit several times.

Officers searched the car and found a loaded handgun, a large knife, more than 115 grams of methamphetamine, 16.75 grams powdered ibuprofen, hypodermic needles and a scale.

A toxicology screen found that Lopez had alcohol, methamphetamine and marijuana in her blood. Dominic Martinez, the man who exited the car on Santa Fe, told police the group had consumed numerous hard drugs the evening prior.

Charges against Sanchez and Dominic Martinez were not immediately available.

Mix of local, national issues loom large in race for governor Some pundits believe referendum on Trump could weigh heavy

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Affordable housing. Crowded highways. Crumbling roads. More money for schools. A safe retirement for public employees. The fate of young immigrants.

The issues stretch across rural and urban lines, promising to focus the 2018 governor’s race on what matters most to local residents.

But in the eyes of Eric Sondermann, a Colorado commentator who made a name for himself analyzing public opinion, another key element also will affect the outcome: President Donald Trump.

Some experts say his hard-line stances on legal immigration and undocumented immigrants who arrived as children — and even his character and behavior — could wind up handing Republicans a handicap and force them to decide how far to the fringe they’ll go.

GOP leaders from metro-area counties, however, see things differently.

Some say Trump won’t be a factor

and that Coloradans will be focused on local issues. Others maintain he could benefit Republicans’ efforts to get elected.

Just how much any issue — local or national — will color the contest remains to be seen. Here’s what political experts and party officials around Colorado have to say about the governor’s race that voters will decide in November.

Where budget meets the road “You ever try to get on I-25 on Friday at rush hour?” asked Joe Webb, Jefferson County Republican Party chair. “When it takes people an hour and a half to get from Lakewood to Westminster, they’re gonna want everything fixed.”

That concern, along with spending on education and Colorado’s public-pension program, PERA, will be top statespecific issues in the race, according to party chairs, a state Democratic Party official and political pundits.

“Fix the roads without any increase in taxes, and I think that’s very, very doable,” Webb said.

State lawmakers have recently pointed to hundreds of millions of dollars in previously unanticipated state revenues that could be divvied up different ways.

In a state with a booming popula-

tion, Eric Walker, spokesman for the Colorado Democratic Party, said his party’s candidates would support an “ambitious infrastructure plan” — Democratic state lawmakers have supported a bill based partly on a sales-and-use-tax increase of less than 1 percent to raise money for transportation spending — and expand affordable-housing tax credits to mitigate rising costs.

On another hand, fracking, energy development and environmental issues have more traction here than in other states, said Sondermann, a political analyst who founded the Denver communications agency SE2, which does marketing related to public policy and opinion.

U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, “will clearly be pinned as an environmental extremist with an energy policy that will hurt Colorado,” said Tom Peterson, Elbert County Republican Party chair.

The Public Employment Retirement Association, known as PERA, which provides retirement and other benefits to employees of government and public entities in Colorado, is more than $30 billion underfunded, and Republicans and Democrats are likely to fight over how to address the problem.

“PERA and making it stable is number 2” in issues that will affect the race, Webb said. Republicans would likely support moving to a definedcontribution plan, Webb said — like a 401(k), in which the employee chooses

to fund the plan, which takes the risk off the employer, which in this case is the state government. Democrats in the state Legislature have indicated they want to keep the defined-benefits plan — in which the employer guarantees a specific retirement amount and bears the risk of promising the investment will be available.

But “current retirees have to be protected,” Webb said of a potential shift to a defined-contribution framework.

“We have to gradually find a way to modernize the system.”

Lori Goldstein, Adams County Democratic Party chair, said the issue of public-education funding will also affect the race.

“I think voters have been demanding for a long time (that) we need schools to keep pace,” said Walker, noting that Colorado ranks toward the bottom of states nationwide for per-pupil education spending.

The Trump factor Drawn-out fights in Washington over the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, building Trump’s proposed Mexican-border wall and his push to cut legal immigration could play a role in Colorado as the race unfolds.

“I think we’re in a different age — politics has been turned on its head.

Twenty years ago, the old adage was, ‘All politics is local.’ All politics is SEE GOVERNOR, P10

Mix-up with keepsake watch leads to painful loss Sentimental piece from father was switched out to customer at Highlands Ranch shop

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kathleen Bearer Melchior and her father, Bruce Campbell Bearer, who died in 1991 at age 61. He fought brain cancer for three months.

PHOTO COURTESY OF KATHY MELCHIOR

A routine trip to a watch-service shop turned into a heart-rending ordeal when an employee handed Kathy Melchior a watch.

Problem is, it wasn’t her watch — and by the time they had realized the mix-up, it was too late, and another customer had walked off with Melchior’s watch. The missing watch is an old gift from her father, who died in 1991 at age 61 after a three-month fight with brain cancer. It’s the only

possession Melchior has left from her dad, aside from his wedding ring.

Her grandson was to have the watch through her son, Melchior said.

“I was devastated, needless to say,” said Melchior, 67, who has lived at her house in Centennial for about 40 years.

Melchior and another woman waited in the showroom at Right Time International Watch Center at 7110 E. County Line Road for their watches to be serviced — an employee said the other woman was getting a new battery for her father’s watch too — and Melchior saw what looked like her watch being given to the other customer.

“I thought, really, that’s (weird),” because the band looked the same, Melchior said.

Two employees tried to walk outside and catch the other woman to correct the mix-up, but she had already SEE WATCH, P7

WATCH

while Melchior’s missing watch is a two-toned Seiko that’s rounder. The other woman’s watch is at the shop, she added.

Monica Barrett, manager at Right Time, said she’s confident the other customer will turn up again.

“She’s definitely a return customer because (we) recognized she was in two weeks prior” to the mix-up, said Barrett, who has reached out to check in with Melchior periodically in the past weeks.

The shop posted on its Facebook page in hopes the customer would see, but no luck so far. If she comes back to the store, everyone on staff might jump on her the moment she comes to the door, Barrett said with a laugh.

“I know it sucks — I feel so bad for Kathy,” she added.

Melchior is hopeful that getting the word out will get the watch to turn up, and she still feels positive about the shop.

“I would go back,” Melchior said. “I just hope they change their policy, that they take names while people are waiting so that this doesn’t happen again.”

pulled away, Melchior said. The store couldn’t give Melchior her name or phone number because she had paid with a punch card that offers a reward system for repeat customers.

In the month since that incident, Melchior has tried to track down the watch, contacting local news outlets and asking the shop for a picture of the woman. She was told the store can’t release an image of the woman because she didn’t do anything wrong.

“And I completely agree with them,” Melchior said, noting that Right Time has been helpful and offered to give her a replacement watch. “They said they reviewed the films.”

The other customer didn’t look down at the watch before she left, according to the footage, Melchior said.

The other woman’s watch is a Citizen brand watch with “Nikolas” engraved on the back, Melchior said,

Kathy Melchior’s watch was given to her by her father. Melchior is seeking the lost watch after a mix-up at a local watch shop.

Littleton Museum to stage original play Historical script is set in Littleton at time of World War II

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s world-class living history museum will soon be even livelier with the premier of “The Blackout,” a one-act play set in World War II-era Littleton.

The play is the brainchild of Suellen Winstead, the museum’s curator of education and interpretation. Winstead hopes the play, the first she’s ever written, will be the first in a series she calls “Littleton Stories,” each of which will focus on a different period in Littleton’s history.

“The Blackout” takes place in 1943, on the day of Littleton’s first blackout air raid drill.

Littleton High School student Sally Schwartz, a volunteer in a soldier’s canteen, finds herself caught during the drill with Joe Ito, a young Japanese-American man who has traveled from the Hart Mountain Japanese internment camp in Wyoming to muster at Fort Logan. Hank Schwartz, Sally’s dad, catches the two youngsters together, and unleashes his fears and prejudices — only to learn a lesson in identity.

Littleton Museum Curator of Education and Interpretation Suellen Winstead wrote and directs “The Blackout,” premiering on March 2 at the Littleton Museum.

IF YOU GO “The Blackout,” an original one-act play set in WWII-era Littleton, will premier March 2 at the Littleton Museum. From left, Kevin Vu plays Joe Ito, Bekah Broas plays Sally Schwartz, and Ari Levi plays Hank Schwartz.

PHOTOS BY DAVID GILBERT Winstead said the format of live theater can be a powerful tool to convey big ideas.

“As an audience member, you start identifying with characters,” Winstead said. “You start to ask yourself: What would I do? What do I believe?

Would I feel the same way in the 1940s?”

Kevin Vu, who plays Joe, said the play helps him appreciate the position of Japanese-Americans who found themselves imprisoned for the crime

of their ethnicity.

“They were just trying to pursue the American Dream as well,” Vu said.

“Pearl Harbor flipped the perception of Asian-Americans, but many of them still volunteered and served honorably.”

Ari Levi, who plays Hank, said he works to bring depth to his character.

“It’s an honor to be a part of this, and I want to do it justice,” Levi said.

“There’s not a single word in the script that isn’t thought out. It’s based

“The Blackout” will be performed March 2, 3 and 4, and again the following weekend, on March 9, 10 and 11.

The play feels important for 2018, said Bekah Broas, who plays Sally.

“It’s not just a historical account, but a poignant message for where we are as a country today,” Broas said.

Columbine Square demolition gets underway Owners get permit to raze several buildings on site; still need approval for remainder

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The long-awaited demolition of the Columbine Square Shopping Center at Federal Boulevard and Belleview Avenue began on Valentine’s Day, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the strip mall that has sat empty for years, accruing graffiti and broken windows while drawing the ire of neighbors.

The owner of the seven-acre property recently received approval from the state Department of Public Health and the Environment to demolish four of the property’s seven buildings, according to Littleton Neighborhood Resources Manager Mark Barons. Statelevel approval is required to show that asbestos has been properly mitigated before the city issues its own demolition permit.

The owner, RedwoodKairos Real Estate Partners, a California-based firm that boasts a slew of commercial

properties nationwide, is currently working with the state to receive permits to demolish the remaining buildings, Barons said.

Representatives from Redwood-Kairos did not respond to requests for comment.

A building on the site burned down on Jan. 3 in a fire allegedly started by squatters. The blaze invigorated calls to demolish the buildings, which have sat empty since 2014. The burned building, a former dance studio, was not one approved for demolition. Only segments of its walls remain standing.

City officials were proud to share the news that the buildings were meeting their demise.

“It feels great,” said Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman.

“I know the neighborhood’s very happy. We’ll get something in there that serves the community better.”

Redwood-Kairos recently hired Frank Melara of Sundance Mountain Development to oversee development of the property. Melara did not respond to a request for comment.

The parking lot and concrete pads the buildings sat on will remain after the buildings are demolished to prevent erosion, Barons said.

Furniture lies strewn in a back alley at Columbine Square Shopping Center ahead of demolition on Valentine’s Day. Transients had taken up residence in the long-vacant strip mall in recent years.

DAVID GILBERT No plans to redevelop the site have been submitted to the city, Barons said. Numerous ideas were bandied about at a Feb. 5 community meeting on the future of the area, ranging from a public park to a library or recreation center to retail to high-density housing.

Brinkman said RedwoodKairos has no plans to sell the property, and she has no qualms about working with them going forward.

“Absolutely they can be good partners,” Brinkman said. “It’s a two-way street.

They need to communicate, and the community needs to be more accepting that they’re the owners and they have property rights. We need

to not get in our camps and throw stones. Part of whether or not they can engage the community is whether the community is willing to be engaged. Let’s move on and work on what could be, not what was.”

The Columbine Square Citizen Advisory Group, a consortium of city officials and several neighbors of the property, held their first meeting the night before demolition began, Barons said.

The group is intended to be a “communication tool,” Barons said, where city officials will communicate progress on the site to a group of nearby residents, who in turn are tasked with disseminating the information to the commu-

big-name hotel chains to bring overnight lodging to the site, to the tune of 115-125 units.

“It’ll drive traffic for the other retail we’ve got coming down the pike,” Buchanan said.

He added that his company is also working on plans for a medical office building.

Comings and goings Meanwhile, other potential users at the site have backed out or seen their contracts canceled. Kneaders Bakery, which bought a retail parcel on the site, has pulled out and sold their lot, Buchanan said. Del Taco, which planned to build close to Broadway, saw their contract canceled, and an AT&T cell phone store that was slated to open next door to the Starbucks backed out, Buchanan said.

Buchanan said he is planning on submitting formal plans to the city for another retail building soon, and has had interest from several restaurants, and has been in talks with specialty grocery stores. Once completed, the Starbucks will be sold to an investor from California, he said.

Buchanan’s group owns roughly 20 acres of the site 77-acre site, though only about 13 acres are buildable, with much of the rest consisting of roads

DAVID GILBERT and parking areas. The rest of the site is a variety of housing, ranging from single-family homes to a large condo building currently under construction.

Some of the parcels on the site are now owned by different entities, and several for-sale signs line the property’s eastern edge.

“It’s a little of a chicken-and-egg game,” said Tom Ethington, principal at Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors, which owns just under an acre of the site, “kind of in the middle.”

“Retailers like synergy,” Ethington said. “As momentum picks up, it will help the other parcels.”

Ethington said he has seen “significant interest” in the 0.81-acre parcel, currently for sale for $1.3 million.

“We’ve got a couple retailers interested,” he said.

Tough times for brick and mortar City Manager Mark Relph said he understands residents of the development are frustrated with the speed of progress.

“What they were told might happen on the commercial side has been slow,” Relph told a community meeting organized by city councilmember Carol Fey on Jan. 21. “They’re disappointed because they were expecting things to happen a lot sooner. They were hoping for upscale restaurants and shops.”

Relph said residents often ask him what the site’s “master plan” spells out, but he said it doesn’t quite work

nity through social media or other channels.

“The citizens won’t be guiding development efforts,” said Barons, who heads the group.

“But they will bring issues to us that we might not otherwise hear about, whether that be problems with transients or issues with the demolition.

They’ll be dissolved at the point we get an application for development there.”

Several city officials participate in the group, including Barons, Community Development Director Jocelyn Mills, City Manager Mark Relph, Deputy City Manager Randy Young and Communications Director Kelli Narde. Mayor Brinkman and City Councilmember Patrick Driscoll, who represents the area, plan to attend when possible. The group currently has four community members, and is searching for a fifth. The group’s next meeting is Feb. 27.

Driscoll said the group will be useful in serving as a liaison between the city and residents in a better manner than previously.

“We need that citizen perspective,” Driscoll said.

“Otherwise we just don’t hear what’s going on. I feel good about where we’re at, because Columbine Square was an eyesore for way too many years.”

like that.

“What the city approved was not a master plan in the traditional sense, but a development plan that allows a lot of flexibility on land use types in different parts of the property,” Relph said. “Commercial, retail, office — all those uses are allowed. The ownerdeveloper is allowed to move those around depending on the marketplace.”

The “changing face of retail” in an era where lots of purchasing is migrating online has rendered largescale developments like Littleton Village sluggish, Relph said.

“Commercial developers’ focus is much narrower and they’re much more conservative financially,” Relph said. “They’re not willing to take the risk of putting out large big-box development.”

The site needs an anchor to draw smaller retailers, he said, which hasn’t happened yet. Relph added that the site is challenged by a limited area for parking.

“The idea when it was approved was that because it was this urban-type setting, that we could use transit to offset the need for parking,” Relph said. “That makes sense in downtown Denver, but the transit option is something that needs to be developed.”

Buchanan is optimistic.

“Things have had rough aspects, but we’re past that,” Buchanan said.

“We’re feeling good about our relationship with the city, and the market’s getting better.”

Parties look for front-runners to emerge in crowded field Some big names who left the race would have been among the favorites for governor

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Former Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo — known for his hardline stance against illegal immigration — was shaping up to be the GOP front-runner for this year’s governor’s race, some pundits believe.

Then, Tancredo dropped out of the race Jan. 30 due to lower-than-desired fundraising.

On the Democratic side, U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder — who pushes for Colorado to transition to 100 percent renewable energy use by 2040 — has emerged as a favorite, according to some pundits and polling.

Polis and former state Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, are leading the Democrats’ in campaign donations with about $1.5 million each. On the Republican side, state Treasurer Walker Stapleton held the top fundraising spot with about $1 million.

But in a packed field, the path to the nomination isn’t plowed clear.

Joe Webb, Jefferson County Republican Party chair, said after Tancredo’s exit, Stapleton, a second-cousin of former President George W. Bush, appears to have the top spot on the GOP side.

“Followed by Victor Mitchell and maybe (state Attorney General) Cynthia Coffman,” Webb said.

In Webb’s analysis, Stapleton, Coffman, former state Rep. Mitchell, who is a businessman from Castle Rock, and Doug Robinson — Mitt Romney’s nephew — would have petitioned to be candidates on the ballot rather than try to beat Tancredo for the traditional party assembly vote, the state counter-

national (now),” Sondermann said.

Trump “and all the emotions he arouses, whether it’s support on one side or resistance on the other,” can influence local fights.

With the state’s increasing Latino population, hard-line positions on illegal immigration in the spirit of former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo and a push for what his supporters might call amnesty may make for a clash in Colorado.

Even with Tancredo’s recent exit from the race for the GOP nomination for governor, “his supporters still have influence,” and on the Democratic side, to some extent, “it’s an outrage contest — who can be the most outraged,” Sondermann said.

“But I do think Democrats (are) energized these days, so animated, so ginned up by Trump being in the White House.”

The question is how far the GOP

The following are the gubernatorial candidates who have received the largest amount of campaign donations, according to figures available through the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office as of Feb. 13: • Jared Polis, Boulder, Democrat: $1.5 million • Mike Johnston, Denver, Democrat: $1.5 million

• Walker Stapleton, Denver, Republican: $1 million • Cary Kennedy, Denver, Democrat: $839,835 • Noel Ginsburg, Denver, Democrat: $686,521 • Donna Lynne, Denver, Democrat $673,741 • Doug Robinson, Centennial, Republican: $360,763 • Cynthia Coffman, Denver, Republican: $99,969

• Victor Mitchell, Castle Rock, Republican: *$30,589 • Lew Gaiter, Larimer County, Republican: $10,707 • Greg Lopez, Elizabeth, Republican: $9,748 • Stephen Barlock, Denver, Republican: $5,836 *Mitchell is largely financing his own campaign and has $2.2 million on hand.

part to the national party conventions that select presidential nominees.

“Everyone expected him to overwhelmingly win the assembly,” Webb said. “The fact that (he dropped out) means the assembly is up for grabs in a big, big way.

“Somebody’s gonna have to fill the void that Tancredo supporters had.”

Tancredo set up a potential split in the party, according to Webb.

That Tancredo was willing to get out of the race when he was a front-runner was a “selfless act” to ensure the nominee wouldn’t repel some Republican voters in the general election, Webb said, but he also knows 50 or

60 people who left the GOP and came back to the party because Tancredo was the nominee.

For Democrats, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Arvada would have been a top contender before he dropped out of the race, said Eric Sondermann, a Colorado political analyst who founded the Denver communications agency SE2, which does marketing related to public policy and opinion.

George Brauchler, the 18th Judicial District Attorney in counties south of Denver, could have been a top GOP name, Sondermann said, but he pulled out too, opting to run for state attorney general.

nominee will have to move toward positions like Trump’s or Tancredo’s to court voters, according to Sondermann.

Criticisms of Trump will cast a shadow on candidates here to some extent, said John Straayer, a professor of political science at Colorado State University.

“How much, I don’t know, but it will, and should be, a concern for all Republican candidates,” Straayer said. “No doubt Democrats will seek to tie the Rs to (Trump) on matters including character and behavior, the environment, pot and surely more issues.”

Some county party chairs see it differently, though.

Trump and national politics won’t be a factor, said Anil Mathai, Adams County GOP chair.

“Colorado residents are focused on local issues,” Mathai said.

Mathai said immigration debates won’t affect the race here either.

“We have many people here legally of Mexican descent and/or from Spanish-speaking countries, and they believe in the rule of law,” Mathai said.

Immigration issues will have an impact on the election but may not change the results, Peterson said.

“It will be interesting to see the response to the president’s four-pillar position that was presented in the State of the Union address,” Peterson said, referencing Trump’s proposal for a path to citizenship for about 1.8 million young undocumented immigrants; $25 billion toward border security, including the border wall; ending the visa lottery; and limiting family-based immigration.

“If Congress can pass comprehensive immigration reform this year, this issue may be less of a factor in Colorado come November.”

Wild cards Independents may be able to shake things up this November because of two ballot measures voters passed in 2016 allowing unaffiliated voters to participate in the primary process, which is how parties whittle down the candidates to select one Republican and one Democratic nominee to compete in the general election.

“Propositions 107 and 108 will make

“I’ve never seen a race quite so fluid, in which top-tier candidates literally drop like flies,” Sondermann said.

Polis is expected to be a finalist, but former Colorado state Treasurer Cary Kennedy could put up a fight, as well as Johnston, Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne and manufacturing businessman Noel Ginsburg, Sondermann said. On the Republican side, Stapleton won’t win “without a fair degree of sweat,” he added.

“Coffman seems to be well positioned,” but she hasn’t surrounded herself with a top-notch campaign team, Sondermann said. “So no one can quite figure out Coffman’s campaign at this time.”

Mitchell has the ability to self-fund his campaign, like Polis could, making him a contender, Sondermann said. Robinson is a “very credible businessman, but he may be too moderate in a very conservative party,” he added.

The GOP around the nation is currently a staunchly anti-establishment, President Donald Trump-driven group, Sondermann said.

“I think Democratic turnout in these primaries is going to be significantly higher than GOP turnout,” Sondermann said.

Six of the last 10 governors, dating back to 1951, have been Democrats.

The state’s next governor will replace Democrat John Hickenlooper, who has reached his two-term limit.

In 2016, Colorado voted for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over Trump by about five points, even as Trump won the country, Sonderman noted.

He hasn’t seen anything that suggests it’s more favorable to Trump or those aligned with him than it was in 2016.

“Colorado has been becoming a light-blue state,” Sondermann said, “but 2018 could potentially be a deepblue year.” it more easy for independents to participate — that is the great unknown, how independents are gonna vote,” Sondermann said. Colorado is “in a test tube right now. This is the first election under the 107 and 108 rules, so there’s lots of speculation and conjecture and no knowledge.”

If someone like state Attorney General Cynthia Coffman can organize a strong campaign, Sondermann said, as a more moderate Republican and a woman, she could appeal to independents.

“More centrist Democrats like (Noel) Ginsberg and (Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne) are banking on independents more than Cary Kennedy or Polis is,” he added.

Personality may play a big role, too, Sondermann added, because governors tend to be more frequent faces in voters’ lives than, say, senators, who garner more party-line votes.

“A lot of this election ... is gonna be more dictated by emotion than it is by position papers,” Sondermann said. “Historically, Colorado has really favored governors that voters not only respect, but that they actually like.”

You call this winter?

QUIET How am I going to DESPERATION appreciate spring if winter is spring?

I need a few sunless days, and to be closed in by snowbanks. I want the feeling of weather oppression to burnish my soul. My soul is not getting burnished.

Craig Marshall When I lived in Smith Michigan, we had four months of winter, four months of spring, four months of summer, and

four months of autumn.

One reason I love it here is the unpredictability. Winter comingles with spring, and sometimes winter comingles with summer.

However, now and then, I want winter to comingle with winter. I want to suffer a little, to slide around on the roads, and fall down on the driveway.

I want to see my breath. In the living room. I want Dr. Zhivago to make a house call.

You call this winter? Why I oughta.

I know I could go find it. Get in the car and throttle along on I-70 west for a couple of hours. No thanks. I want winter on my doorstep.

One blessed winter we had a blizzard. I got out something called a snow blower. I was clearing the driveway

when I heard a beautiful sound.

I ran over a frozen newspaper.

It was chewed and spat.

A melody.

I see men and women and teenagers in stores in shorts and T-shirts. I saw a shirtless jogger.

I want to be snowed in with nothing left in the cupboard except saltines and bouillon cubes.

I want Punxsutawney Phil over for lunch.

I want to live like the pioneers, at least for a week or two.

Winter is being too polite. Winter is being discreet.

This morning winter even apologized to me: “I’m 10 degrees above. I know you want 10 below. I’m trying.”

I’ve looked at old columns, written when winters were winters, and they have a deeper substance. How can I write from a deeper place when it’s a day at the beach?

My sister lives in Michigan. She has been complaining about winter since November.

I said, “Send me some of that and I will send you some of this.”

Do me a small favor. I don’t want to hear, “Be careful what you wish for,” for two reasons.

First of all, it’s as tiresome as “We need the moisture,” and “Hearty man eat a toad.”

Secondly, I don’t want to be careful.

How can we proclaim a particular faith or doctrine and then behave in opposition of those values in our communities and government?

How can we claim to be ethical humans while ignoring, excluding, or harming other people around us? Sadly, there are individuals who consciously act with no regard for ethics. I’m not talking about them right now. I’m curious about those who claim to be “good Christians” or “good anything” who in reality hate or fear people who are different from them.

One more characteristic of a difference maker is that they are intention,al. They are intentional about everything they do, everything they want to be, and regarding everything that they have acquired or accomplished. There are no accidents, and “coincidence” is not a word that they believe in.

They help others in crisis because their radar is always up, and they are intentional about being where they can do the most good. These difference makers are purpose-driven and passionate about whatever they endeavor eto do in life.

Girl Scout cookies on sale in metro area Use the mobile app for updates on booth locations

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The wait for popular oncea-year sweet treats is over — Girl Scout cookies are available through March 11.

Residents looking for cookies can use the “Cookie Locator” online at www. girlscoutsofcolorado.org or on the Digital Cookie mobile app to find booth locations and receive email reminders. Created in 2017, the mobile app

is a safe way for girls to reach their goals. To purchase cookies online, customers must get an invite to shop at a Girl Scout’s personal website.

Colorado Girl Scouts also sell cookies door-to-door and in front of some retail stores.

Each purchase supports more than 22,000 girls in developing five skills: goal-setting, decision-making, money management, people skills and business ethics, a news release from Girl Scouts of Colorado says.

“Girl Scout Cookie time is all about teaching girls lifelong business skills,” Stephanie Foote, president and CEO of the Colorado branch, said in the release. “The proceeds

LIFE Dance is one of the key disciplines explored by the women artists who participate in the annual Athena Project. This year’s Athena Project will feature an Evening World of Dance on March 17.

Calling all

Annual festival celebrates creations of women and girls

This year’s Athena Project festival is more diverse and well-rounded than ever before. There will be dance, live music, and several theatrical events, all celebrating and created by women and young girls.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF ATHENA PROJECT

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Live music has become a dynamic part of the annual Athena Project festival, and this year’s event includes concerts, an open mic, and Cross Pollinations, where musicians are paired with other artists and have 12 hours to create a new piece for performance.

IF YOU GO WHAT: Athena Project festival WHEN: March 3 - 31 COST: Free to $50 INFORMATION: AthenaProjectArts.org

The Athena Project has an inspiring effect on the people and artists who get involved with the annual festival.

Just ask Dominique Flores, the events coordinator with Athena.

“I started as an actress, but now in this role, I help to feed and help the artists with whatever they need,” she said. “I’m now also a mentor in our Girls Create Program, where I get to work with the next generation of women creators.”

SuCh, a Denver-based soul singer, who first performed as part of the festival in 2014, has also taken on new challenges since then.

“This year, I’m going to be a part of Cross Pollinations, where I’ll be paired with another artist I’ve never met before, and we’ll have 12

hours to present a new work of art,” she said. “You can’t really plan for it, and that’s really exciting.”

Since its creation in 2012, the Athena Project has not only focused on celebrating and making spaces for artistic women in the metro area, but it also has encouraged these performers to grow and tackle new challenges, styles and mediums.

“The original goal was to celebrate women artists, especially because women are so underrepresented in the arts world,” said Angela Astle, Athena Project’s founder and executive producer. “A lot of people don’t think it’s that way, because they see women performers a lot. But behind the scenes, it’s not that way.

So we wanted to create a space where women can share their stories.”

Bringing Malcolm X to life for a new generation

W

hen future national Chautauqua scholar Charles Everett Pace was a young man, he read a book that changed his life, “The Autobiography of Malcolm X.” Malcolm X’s passionate pursuit of knowledge, justice and self-examination made him one of the most important and controversial figures of the civil rights movements of the 1950s and ‘60s.

COMING One of the countless number of ATTRACTIONS people influenced

by Malcolm X’s life, Pace channeled that inspiration into a lifelong study of the man who was born Malcolm Little in 1925. Now he’s taking those years of study and bringing Clarke Reader Malcolm X back to life, speaking to audiences all over the metro area as part of the 2018 Black History Live Tour.

“Malcolm was a bridge builder when he was alive,” Pace, who lives in Texas, said. “I wish more people knew who he actually was. Most people today just know the name, not the man.”

As a Chautauqua scholar and sponsored by Colorado Humanities, Pace will be acting the role of Malcolm X at 3 p.m. Feb. 24 at the Gonzales Library, 1498 N. Irving St. in Denver; at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 26 at Red Rocks Community College, 13300 W. 6th Ave. in Lakewood; at 11 a.m. Feb. 27 at Metropolitan State University, Tivoli No. 329, 890 Auraria Parkway in Denver; and at 7 p.m. Feb. 27 at Bemis Library, 6014 S. Datura St. in Littleton. All presentations are free and open to the public.

Being a Chautauqua scholar means that Pace will perform as Malcolm X — he’ll even take audience questions as the man, answering with information that is historically accurate and based on textual evidence.

“I’ve been performing as Malcolm since 1975, and read everything written on him when I first started,” Pace said. “When I was preparing to perform as him again, I reread some of those materials, as well as more recent books written about him.”

Over the years, Pace has performed as other visionary African-American leaders, including York (who explored with Lewis and Clark), Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Langston Hughes and Gordon Parks (among his many talents, he was Hollywood’s first major African-American director).

Endangered African wild dog puppies make public debut at zoo STAFF REPORT

For three months, the endangered African wild dog puppies have been in their private maternity den with their mother, Tilly. Keepers say the three male puppies and one female puppy are healthy, curious and playful. COURTESY PHOTO

Denver Zoo visitors have a chance to see four endangered African wild dog puppies born in November and released into the Benson Predator Ridge yard Feb. 16.

The puppies were in their private maternity den for three months, being cared for by their mother, Tilly, according to a news release from the zoo.

Keepers say the three male puppies, Nigel, Theodore Roosevelt, and Livingstone, and one female puppy, Cholula, are healthy, curious and playful.

Guests can see the puppies from noon to 2 p.m. every day in the Pahali Ya Mwana yard through February, and

in various habitats throughout Benson Predator Ridge starting March 1, depending on the weather.

With a worldwide population estimated at 6,600, African wild dogs — also known as African painted dogs — are classified as endangered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species, according to the news release. Habitat fragmentation, conflict with human activities and infectious disease are among the reasons for the endangerment.

Denver Zoo is a leader in the management of African wild dogs within the Association of Zoos & Aquariums and has successfully produced 32 puppies

since 2001, said the release.

African wild dogs are native to the open woodlands and plains of sub-Saharan Africa. Full-grown adults weigh between 40 and 80 pounds and stand 30 inches tall at the shoulder. Unique characteristics of these slim, long-legged dogs include distinct yellow, black, brown and white markings, large round ears that contribute to their sharp sense of hearing, and front paws that have only four toes, rather than the typical five found on other canine species.

For more information about Denver Zoo, including hours and admissions, daily schedules, events and membership, go to DenverZoo.org or call 720337-1400.

Degas exhibit is gem at Denver Art Museum Painter died a century ago and left immense mark on world

“Four Dancers on Stage, Brazil” is included in the new exhibit “Degas: A Passion for Perfection” through May 20 at the Denver Art Museum.

From Museude Arte, Sao Paulo Assis Chateaubriand.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Why a Degas exhibit now? “It’s a celebration of the centenary of Degas’ death in 1917,” said Dr. Timothy Standring, Gates Family Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Denver Art Museum, as he spoke prior to the opening of a special exhibit he had been working on for five years. He spoke of “Degas’ escape — affirming while obliterating his marks on paper,” as he reworked his pieces at times.

“Degas: A Passion for Perfection” was sold out on its opening day and will continue as a specially ticketed exhibit through May 20. The exhibit was first organized by Jane Munroe, keeper of paintings and prints at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England and was locally curated by Standring, who added items from other collections to the original selection, offering more than 100 works. As he spoke about the project, he said, “no isn’t in my vocabulary” when it comes to borrowing artworks. (One owner at the Maastricht Art Fair in the Netherlands was reluctant because he wanted to sell a piece instead of

loaning. “I’ll find a buyer,” Standring replied — and did!)

The curator speaks of this exhibit as “presenting insight into the artist’s journey,” showing many aspects of Degas’ acute awareness of his surroundings and society — and endless curiosity. Born into a somewhat wealthy family, he had a classical education, which would have afforded many ideas for artworks early on — and he did start painting as a teen.

Degas’ prolific 60-year career touched on many of his diverse interests, from ballet, dancers as individuals and theater to landscapes and cityscapes of Paris street life, to horse racing.

Largely self-trained, he transformed from a portraitist and painter of historic subjects and transitioned into an interest in the contemporary scene.

very familiar, from Degas’ and other Impressionists’ art. (Although Standring said Degas disliked being called an Impressionist.) In his last years, “he was pretty much blind,” and turned to creating clay and wax models, intended to be cast in bronze. Many were found in poor condition in his studio after his death and repaired and cast by a foundry hired by his family.

His mother was a Cajun from New Orleans and his father came from Naples. (The Italian grandfather escaped from a revolution on horseback, carrying gold, and started banks.)

After an attempt at studying law, at his father’s insistence, he embarked on an artist’s training by copying the earlier masters at the Louvre and elsewhere — the common way to study in the 19th century, as well as attending Le Ecole des Beaux Artes. Exhibits followed with his contemporaries.

He learned to emulate the Academic painters and said “One certainly needs courage if one is to approach nature.” He created a new painting technique, recognized as turpentine in the U.S., mixing the pigments with gasoline. It thinned the paint, allowing for precise lines and a flat effect.

The painter Corot was an influence in his development of landscapes and he worked on smaller pieces with pastels, some watercolor, some oil. Repetition was an ongoing theme, with numerous versions of a given subject or scene.

Standring said Degas’ studio in Paris was reported to be a pigpen because he never wanted to give anything away — and his eyesight was degenerating. During his productive years, he created many monotypes, where a painting is created on a metal

IF YOU GO “Degas: A Passion for Perfection” is at the Hamilton Building of the Denver Art Museum, between 12th and 13th avenues, just west of Broadway. The parking garage entrance is on 12th and there are coinoperated meters in the area. Visitors to the exhibit will enjoy an audio guide, provided with ticket purchase. (Members half-price.)

Some of it was recorded by Dr. Timothy Standring, Gates Family Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Denver Art Museum, at Cambridge. There is also an accompanying book, edited by Jane Munro, available at the gift shop. The DAM is now open seven days a week. Information: denverartmuseum.org, 720-865-5000. plate and paper is laid on it and pulled off as a print. He made more than one impression from a plate and added in pastels. “It was all about process — making, making, making,” Standring commented.

The curator followed Degas’ steps in Paris, including a visit to his tomb in Montmartre, and said “we really wanted to tell the right story” in this exhibit that represents about 20 public and private collection, including that of the Denver Art Museum, which owns three pastels and two sculptures.

He said scholars love to talk about Degas’ dysfunctional family, but he did not elaborate on the subject.

During a Q&A period following the lecture, Kim Field, Littleton writer and Historic Preservation Board member, commented on Degas’ choice of models. “They were not perfect 10s” — nor did the dancers depicted show perfect ballet form. Standring agreed and spun off into the painters’ many influences, including Japanese prints. And flexibility. “Sometimes, he added strips of paper to a drawing,” to get proportions right. He might be compared to more contemporary Rauschenberg and Richter. A close look will reveal those added strips pasted on the edge of a drawing.

He was commercially successful, despite difficult family finances. British and French collectors bought his work, including at an auction following his death. (Fitzwilliam Museum’s collection is an example.) He also accumulated a personal art collection.

singers and songwriters, a concert headlined by Megan Burtt, who was named the 2015 Best Singer/Songwriter by the Westword Music Awards and has toured nationally and abroad with

acts like Gregory Alan Isakov, Mark Cohen, and Lissie, and emerging artist Nina de Freitas, a Brazilian-born musician and daughter of Academy Award nominee Carlinhos Brown.

And all ages get in on the creativity, with a showcase of plays created by middle school girls during the project’s Girls Create summer camp.

This gives these students a chance to see their work as a live performance with actors on stage and a director.

On the same day, the girls who participated in the fashion design and visual arts camps will have their creations highlighted in a runway style fashion show and gallery show.

“It’s so amazing to see what these young girls are able to come up with, and the stories they’re able to tell,” said Flores, who will work with these young creators. “We want these girls to know they can do anything.”

Flores and SuCh encourage people to attend events on multiple weekends, especially since there will be such a variety throughout the month. Children and students are particularly encouraged to see what Athena has to offer.

“I didn’t go into music until I was an adult, even though I always knew music was my thing,” SuCh said.

“Who knows? If I had been exposed to more music and art earlier, I might’ve started younger.”

This year’s festival runs from March 3-31 and features the artistic talents of women and girls in theatre, dance and music. Events include a weekend of music at Swallow Hill, the music production and concert venue organization; world dance, the Girls Create Celebration, Plays In Progress Series, panel discussions and workshops.

“This year, we wanted our programming to be more rounded out, and to offer more for audiences,” Astle said.

“Our goal with each discipline is to fill a niche and expand what we can do in the discipline.”

The Cross Pollinations program is new this year. As SuCh explained, it will feature a musician paired with a playwright, dancer, visual artist or spoken word artist, and at the end of 12 hours each pair will present a live original work of art around the theme of Fierce Women Thriving.

Other highlights from the month include an open mic night for female

The Girls Create Celebration is one of the most popular events at the annual Athena Project festival. The event showcases theatrical pieces written by middle school girls.

These pieces are worked on with the help of mentors, who guide and assist the young playwrights.

Pace refers to these leaders as his “bodacious brothers,” and said his body of work is a way to explore how marginal outsiders became influential insiders.

“I hope that people who attend go to a local bookstore and buy the books my portrayal is based on and learn more about Malcolm,” Pace said. “I hope people come out, learn and continue the conversation.”

The magic or real life in ‘The Electric Baby’ For most adults, magic isn’t really part of their daily lives, but in the Arvada Center’s second show of its repertory season, magical realism brings hope to individuals dealing with grief and loneliness.

“This show is rooted in a layered style that takes a magical approach to vintage storytelling,” said Abner Genece, cast member in “The Electric Baby.” “It feels very contemporary and immediate, despite having these deep, traditional roots.”

The regional premiere of “The Electric Baby” runs through May 4 at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. The show, written by Stefanie Zadravec and directed by Rick Barbour, tells the story of a group of people connected by tragedy and a longing for human contact.

“The best thing I can tell someone about the show is to come with an open mind and heart,” said Kate Gleason, cast member. “It’s beautiful storytelling and direction, and people will laugh

‘America’s Musical Journey’ at IMAX One of the best gifts a person can give their eyes is to go to a movie screening at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science’s Phipps IMAX Theater. But the museum’s newest film is also a treat for the ears.

“America’s Musical Journey,” the newest IMAX 3D film from MacGillivray Freeman Films, opened Feb. 16 at the museum, 2001 Colorado Blvd.

The film is narrated by Morgan Freeman and examines America’s diverse musical history.

The film follows Grammy Awardnominated singer and songwriter Aloe Blacc as he explores the roots of the country’s musical styles — ranging from jazz, blues, country, rock and rap — through stops at such cities as New Orleans, Chicago, New York City, Nashville, Memphis, and even a brief look at Red Rocks Amphitheater.

In addition to Blacc, the movie features appearances by Jon Batiste, bandleader and musical director of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”; Latin music stars Gloria and Emilio Estefan; New Orleans music hero Dr. John; Chicago jazz pianist Ramsey Lewis; teenage banjo-playing phenomenon Willow Osborne; Memphis jookin dance star Lil Buck; the Detroit Youth Choir; Chicago footwork maestros Pause Eddie and Donnetta “Lil Bit” Jackson; the Bandaloop vertical dancers; the Fisk University Jubilee Singers; the Beale Street Flippers and many more.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week When R&B crooner Miguel arrived on the music scene in 2010, he seemed like just another silky-voiced Lothario. But over the following two albums, “Kaleidoscope Dream” and “Wildheart,” he developed a progressive blend of funk, Hendrix-esque rock and soul.

His most recent album, “War and Leisure,” was released at the end of 2017, and continues this trend. In support of the album, Miguel will stop by the Ogden Theatre, 935 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, at 9 p.m. Feb. 28, along with up-and-coming voices in the genre, SiR and Nonchalant Savant. Go to www. ogdentheatre.com.

Joining Miguel on his latest album is an array of collaborators, ranging from Jeff Bhasker and Dave Sitek to Salaam Remi and Raphael Saadiq, and vocal contributions from today’s best and brightest — including Kali Uchis, J. Cole, Travi$ Scott and Rick Ross.

Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. He can be reached creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

annah Croasdell was burned out on swimming, so her mother Christy suggested she should try to become a triathlete. That’s what the Douglas County senior did, but it wasn’t easy.

I can only imagine, since I have never learned to swim and it’s been many years since I have ridden a bike.

I do jog but not much running. Croasdell OVERTIME has been a triathlete for less than two years but will be joining the women’s triathlon program next fall at Colorado Mesa University.

Yes, Virginia, triathlon is a women’s varsity college sport.

Jim Benton “I just wanted to try something new and wondered if I would be good at it,” said Croasdell, who was a swimmer on the Douglas County/Castle View team along with her sophomore sister Abigail.

It took awhile and some coaching to learn the detailed skills required to be a triathlete. She competed in the Elite Draft Legal series last summer and went to both the Junior Elite Nationals and Age Group Nationals. She has earned a spot on Team USA for the ITU Junior Worlds, which will be held in Queensland, Australia in September.

“For me the hardest part was learning the bike skills, especially in a pack with the other girls, and the open water swimming was very different because you can’t really see where you are going,” explained Croasdell. “Running was something else I had to learn too because I was never a really natural runner.”

For those who might not know, a triathlon is a multiple-stage race that usually involves open water swimming, cycling and running in immediate succession. Athletes compete for the fastest overall course time, including timed transitions where athletes change from swimming, cycling and running gear.

Most collegiate courses have a 750-meter swim, a 20-kilometer bike race and a five-kilometer run. Croasdell admits at times to wondering why she dabbled at becoming a triathlete.

“I remember my first race, that’s what I thought the whole time,” she said. “I was worried about getting lapped out. Sometimes on the bike people start yelling if the pace line gets mess up and I thought: `What am I doing?’ It was a very exhausting, tense situation to be in.”

Sheridan finishes 9th at state wrestling tournament The Rams’ Lopez captures state title in Class 3A

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sheridan’s Faustin Lopez won the 195-pound championship and the Rams finished ninth among Class 3A teams at the state wrestling tournament, which was held Feb. 15-17 at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

In addition to Lopez, the other three Ram seniors also placed in the top six at state.

Presiliano Maez placed fifth at 120 pounds.

Homero Navarro was sixth at 132 pounds, and Perrion Gray was sixth at 220 pounds. The four Rams state finishers earned a total of 67 points, so Sheridan was ninth in the standings, well ahead of 10th-place Moffatt County. A total of 34 teams had wrestlers competing in the Class 3A tournament.

Three other area schools, Arapahoe, Cherry Creek and Heritage, had wrestlers at state in the Class 5A competition. Arapahoe and

Cherry Creek each had three wrestlers in the tournament, while Heritage had one.

Kai Blake, Cherry Creek’s 170-pounder, was the only one of the seven to place as he finished sixth in his weight division. Cherry Creek finished 23rd with 17.5 points, while Arapahoe and Heritage tied for 40th place as each team’s wrestlers scored three points.

Sheridan faced a challenge as they only had eight wrestlers on the varsity team this season.

“Our four seniors have been our leaders and this is the best group of seniors I have coached during my 12 years coaching at Sheridan,” Rams Monte Nitchie said during the tournament. “I am proud of all my team and I am proud that all our seniors placed here at state.”

The coach said the Rams were fifth last year and he expected to equal or better that placement.

“We lost some tough one-point matches in the semifinals that dropped us to 10th in the standings,” he said. “Our kids wrestled hard and I am proud of the way all our guys battled SEE SHERIDAN, P31

News and notes from local high school sports programs Arapahoe • Rod Sherman, who helped build Valor Christian into a state football powerhouse, is the new head football coach at Arapahoe. Sherman was the school’s athletic director from 200712 and was also an assistant football coach and offensive coordinator when Valor won five state championships.

He became head coach in 2013 and won three state championships. It was announced in December that Sherman was no longer the coach at Valor. He replaces Mike Campbell at Arapahoe, who is now the head coach at Englewood. Sherman told Warriors football parents that he “loves the game of football for the way it can grow and teach young men incredible life lessons as they mature into the leaders of tomorrow.”

However, it proved to be worth it. She will accept a partial athletic scholarship in April to be on the second-year CMU women’s triathlon team, the only such team in Colorado.

Croasdell also has earned a partial academic scholarship, so combined with the triathlon aid she will be on a full ride.

“I feel like I have revolved enough to be able to compete with other athletes,” said Croasdell. “I still have a lot more to learn.

If you would have asked me a year ago what I would be doing in college, I would have had no idea. I might have said swimming, but that completely changed.

“Triathlon is definitely new, especially on the collegiate level. I don’t think a lot of people know about it yet. It’s not something that everyone does and it’s not offered in high schools here. For me I’m really excited about being about to compete and excited about what they can teach me and be able to compete at the collegiate level.”

There are currently 22 NCAA schools that offer women’s triathlon programs over three divisions. USA Triathlon offers a multi-year grant to assist with the development of women’s varsity programs after triathlon was added to the list of NCAA emerging sports for women in 2014.

CMU applied for and was awarded the three-year grant from USA Triathlon.

The first year, CMU was given $40,000, of which $18,000 had to go toward scholarships. Funding of the program was to be

hard every second they were on the mat.

We still did well and I think this is the fifth straight year we have finished in the top 10 in team standings at state.”

Rams senior Lopez wrestled his way to the championship by pinning his first two opponents and he won the semifinal match 7-5.

In the finals, he scored points quickly

and never relinquished the lead as he recorded an 8-2 decision over Cotton Eberhardt of Lamar to win the 195-pound state championship.

Lopez said he was excited and it felt great to win a state title but he said that while everyone wrestled hard, the Rams didn’t get the results hoped for at state, as he wished all his three teammates could have stood on the awards podium.

The senior said after graduation he plans to continue his education and his wrestling career at Northern Michigan University.

split 5o-50 with the college, and the USA Triathlon contribution goes down to $20,000 the second year and $10,000 the third year.

“One thing that makes Colorado Mesa University unique is we are a little like a trailblazer,” said CMU co-Athletic Director Kristin Mort.

Most of the athletes on women’s team last year were walk-ons from other programs, but coach Geoff Hanson, who is also CMU’s swimming coach, has had a full year to recruit and hopes to have 10 to 12 women on the team this fall.

Under the emerging sport status, triathlon has 10 years to show continued momentum to become a full-fledged NCAA women’s sport. It will take at least 40 colleges in Division I, II and III at the varsity level to have an NCAA women’s championship.

USA Triathlon is the governing body that organizes the triathlon national championship.

“The sport is growing quickly in the U.S.,” said Hanson. “It is getting more and more popular. You have to be a well-rounded athlete. It is important to be a good swimmer, and when you get to cycling you have to learn to ride in a pack and work together. Then it comes down to running. The athletes have to try to be good at all three disciplines and make the transition between them.”

CMU also has a men’s triathlon team, also started in 2017, but it is a club sport and privately funded by the university.

‘Night to Shine’

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

O

n a Friday night, a crowd of people with special needs were the stars — red carpet and all — at the Hilton Denver Inverness hotel just outside of Centennial.

The Night to Shine event on Feb. 9, sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation, took place at more than 450 locations around the world to give people with special needs a prom-like experience. The All-Stars Club nonprofit and West Bowles Community Church volunteers hosted the night, where parents, guests and volunteers came together for a night of pomp and paparazzi-like experiences.

It was a familiar scene for Katherine Moore, 26, who has attended in recent years too. She came with her boyfriend, Stevie Lawson, 28 — they’ve been together for 12 years and went to Columbine High School.
