JOANNA ANZELMO-RUMP

Veterinarian, substitute teacher

My background I’m a hospice veterinarian. I’m from Elk Grove Village, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Living in the mountains had always been a goal, and after veterinary school I got a job in Boulder.

About being a vet I always loved animals and I believed that veterinary medicine was not always about tragedy. Some people think they can’t be a vet because they can’t euthanize an animal. I think that sadness is a part of love. I realized this by reading “All Creatures Great and Small” by James Herriot. He wrote about the human animal bond. As a hospice vet, I know that I serve people by serving their animals, particularly at what can be a sad time. Most people cringe at the thought of hospice and home euthanasia. We can’t change that your pet’s life is ending, but we can change how it ends. By coming to your home to euthanize your family pet we can create a peaceful, beautiful, calm process that celebrates the bond that you’ve had together. The bond and love you share with your pet lasts forever and those final memories can be comforting as you move past the sadness.

Fan of school district I chose Littleton because of the school district.

My husband, also a veterinarian, and I have three children and the schools here came highly recommended by professionals we trust. Not only do our children attend school here, I’m fortunate to be a substitute teacher in science at the high school level.

Planning a path for cyclists, pedestrians County’s master plan reaches its final stage of outreach

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On Sundays, Karina Elrod, of Littleton, and her family choose to not use their own vehicle. Safety is a priority for her family as they seek other ways to navigate their day.

“Wherever we want to go on Sunday, we have to use a bike, our feet or public transit,” Elrod said.

“Biking is becoming more and more of what we do… I want to keep my family safe and healthy.”

Elrod was one of many Arapahoe County residents packed into the Carson Nature Center in Littleton on April 4 for the Arapahoe County Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan open house.

“I am hoping that the masterplan is well thought through,” Elrod said. “I want it to be comprehensive… this is about a good quality of life.”

Arapahoe County’s vision for its future of bicycle and pedestrian transportation is in the process of being polished by citizens and implemented into a master plan.

In May 2016, Arapahoe County sought out a plan to design the future for bike riders and pedestrians.

According to the master plan, the vision is to build a “comprehensive system of on-street and trail facilities that safely connects neighborhoods and destinations and encourages walking and bicycling for travel and recreation.”

The plan is being created without design or construction guidelines, said Caitlin Wilson, communication services specialist for the county’s community resources, public works and development department.

“It is truly just a blueprint for the future,” Wilson said. “This will serve as a working document for future trail and on-street plans. It will take some serious time with a lot of moving parts... It identifies the gaps.”

A group of Arapahoe County residents discusses items on the proposed planning map at the Arapahoe County Bike and Pedestrian Masterplan Open House at the Carson Nature Center in Littleton on April 4.

STEPHANIE MASON In phases one and two, the county completed an inventory and assessment of sidewalks, on-street bike facilities and trails.

In the county, there are 3,321 miles of sidewalk in the urbanized areas.

Detached sidewalks — meaning those separated from the road by a buffer zone — take up 30 percent of all sidewalks, while 70 percent of them are attached, meaning they are directly adjacent to the road.

The county recorded 100 miles of missing sidewalk segments.

In its assessment of bike pathways, the county found that 17 percent of roadways are low-stress for bikers and 62 percent are highstress, meaning the biker is on the road alongside traffic.

In its first two phases, the county also recognized a need for education and outreach strategies.

Between 2010 and 2014 in Arapahoe County, there were more than 900 crashes involving a pedestrian and a motorist, and more than 700 accidents between a cyclist and a motorist.

Markusson Green & Jarvis

“Biking is becoming more and more of what we do … I want to keep my family safe and healthy.”

Karina Elrod Littleton resident Now in phase three, the final segment to the outreach and planning process, Arapahoe County is putting the finishing touches on ideas and maps.

In recent open houses in Littleton and Aurora, residents were encouraged to write on the proposed bike and pedestrian map. Citizens circled areas where they were interested in seeing future trails constructed and wrote comments about subjects like sidewalk conditions.

Now that the community comments are collected, the maps are

in the process of being refined. The next step, Wilson said, is bringing the plans to Arapahoe municipalities and gaining approval from the board of county commissioners.

Phase three of the master plan is expected to be completed in July or August.

“Once completed, it will be up to cities and rec districts to decide where they want to implement changes,” Wilson said.

As for the entire plan, Wilson said, a proposal of this size could take up to 15 years to implement.

George Brauchler is seeking to trade his 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office for one in the state Capitol. Brauchler, a Republican, is campaigning to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper in the 2018 election.

Citing what he called “ a lack of real leadership at the state level,” Brauchler said he wants to push for a stronger economy and tougher sentences for violent criminals.

“Our governor has spent the last six years being affable,” said Brauchler, who announced his candidacy April 5.

On the heels of Brauchler’s announcement, the race was infused with another big name, this one on the Democratic side. Six-term Congressman Ed Perlmutter made his candidacy for governor official on April 9. Perlmutter, of Golden, was first elected to the U.S. House in 2006. He represent Colorado’s 7th Congressional District, which largely comprises politically diverse Jefferson County.

Brauchler was elected district attorney in 2012 and re-elected after running unopposed in 2016. The 18th Judicial District encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

He gained nationwide recognition for prosecuting the case against Aurora theater shooter James Holmes, calling the case “the biggest trial in the history of the state.” He said maintaining his obligations outside the courtroom during the trial shows he can maintain his role as district attorney during the campaign. He added he would put his campaign on hiatus if a big case came up.

In February, Colorado’s economy was ranked the best in the country

by U.S. News and World Report, but Brauchler said it could be better with less regulation and streamlined registration policies for small business owners.

“We’re spending a lot of time running with the herd. I think we can be leading the pack,” Brauchler said. “Are we doing well?

I think we’re doing fine, but we can be doing bigger and better for a longer period of time with the right leadership.”

Calling criminal justice his “wheelhouse,” Brauchler said he will push for stronger minimum sentences for DUI and homicide offenders.

“Right now, someone can com-

mit serious murder and 20-25 years later be back on the street,” he said.

Brauchler has lived in Colorado for 45 years, currently residing in Parker with his wife and four children. He attended the University of Colorado, Boulder, and later graduated from the University of Colorado School of Law. He is a colonel in the Colorado Army National Guard.

Perlmutter, who launched his campaign at a grocery store in Golden on April 9, served in the state Sentate from 1995-2003. He said he is primarily concerned with protecting the environment and health care for Colorado.

Perlmutter said that under the Trump administration, he believes he can do more good as the governor than as a congressman “because it is the states that can act as a check and balance.”

Brauchler and Perlmutter have joined a crowded field that Brauchler includes more than a dozen candidates.

Notable on the Republican side is businessman Victor Mitchell, a Castle Rock resident who served in the state House from 2007-09.

Mitchell runs Lead Funding, an organizaPerlmutter tion that offers financing options for homebuilders and developers.

Mitchell was undaunted in his quest for a showdown in the June 2018 Republican primary election.

“Attorney Brauchler is a fine fellow — a pretty good lawyer. He’s a patriot and soldier,” Mitchell said in an emailed statement. “But we don’t need yet another lawyer at the Capitol. We need business people who are proven managers.”

Aside from Perlmutter, the Democrats in the race with the most name recognition are former state Sen. Mike Johnston and former state Treasurer Cary Kennedy.

Johnston is a Denver resident who served in the state Senate from 2009-16, and before that, was a teacher and principal. Kennedy, of Denver, was elected treasurer in 2006 and lost a re-election bid in 2010. In 2011, she was appointed the City of Denver’s chief financial officer and its deputy mayor, and she continued in those capacities until 2016.

Four of the past five governors have been Democrats. Hickenlooper was elected to the position in 2010 and re-elected in 2014.

The chamber connection: Helping businesses and residents

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chambers of Commerce are designed to help their businesses grow and prosper in the community, bring in new customers and contribute to the economy.

But that’s not their only focus — chambers also inform and connect the residents of their communities.

“If businesses thrive, residents do as well,” said Pam Ridler, president of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce.

“We live in the community, too, and want it to keep growing and improving.”

With all the connections and resources available to them, chambers can serve as critical connections between businesses, nonprofits, local governments and residents.

“We work with the West Chamber and Arvada Chamber, because they provide great business connections, and because we’re always looking for experience faculty,” said Kim Rein, director of marketing and communications at Red Rocks Community College. “When we were raising capital for our Arvada campus, they were great in helping us raising awareness in the community.”

Training and leadership classes are also often hosted by chambers to get residents more involved.

“The chamber offers a leadership program, a young professionals program and various seminars,” wrote Angela Habben, Metro North Chamber president and CEO, in an email interview.

“All these provide diverse insight and information into the regional community and benefit one’s business — and personal — growth and development.”

Two of the most common ways residents interact with chambers are through chambers’ resources and special events.

Resources for newcomers, shoppers “When I needed to move a couple states over, the first place I called was the chamber of commerce of the city where I was moving,” said Andrea LaRew, president of Highlands Ranch’s chamber. “I wish more residents knew to use us as a resource. If someone needs something, we can help them or know someone who can.”

Chambers often serve as a first point

of contact for new residents, providing welcome kits and guides to the city. They also provide information to tourists interested in learning about hot spots to visit and entertainment options.

“We’re set up at the Arvada Visitor Center, and are able to interact with people just visiting our city,” said Kami Welch, president of the Arvada Chamber of Commerce. “Our place is to be on the home turf and educate and connect people in the community.”

For the person looking for a plumber, real estate agent or insurance company, chambers make connecting to reputable businesses easy through online directories and in-person recommendations.

“We all band together to promote Jeffco businesses,” said Pam Bales, president and CEO of Jefferson County’s West Chamber. “We have a huge list of businesses to connect with people who need a wide range of services.”

For those who prefer a physical resource, chambers create guides that residents can pick up and keep in their car or home. But more and more chambers have embraced social media and technology to extend the reach of businesses in creative and interactive ways.

“As a chamber, we’re always in the loop on what’s happening in the community,” LaRew said. “It’s all about access and connection.”

What members are saying

Community events, large and small When a visitor is sampling some of the best Jeffco eateries at Taste of the West, checking out sweet rides at the Englewood Car Show or watching a bull rider at the Douglas County Fair, they’re taking part in a chamber-sponsored event.

Many cities’ signature events are hosted or sponsored by their chambers, which serve the dual purpose of highlighting and connecting residents to member businesses, but also promote the city.

“The Douglas County Fair and Rodeo has been part of the history here for 60 years,” Ridler said. “We also have the Lighting of the Star event, and the Colorado Artfest is going into its 28th year.”

Beyond the big events, chambers host smaller community-driven happenings that connect residents with everyone from nonprofits to elected officials.

These events are open to all residents.

“We have second and fourth Friday coffees in the morning at different area businesses, which helps us reach our residents directly,” said Randy Penn, director of the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce.

“One of the things we’ve had to change is how we reach out to citizens. We Penn have a great relationship with the city, and our next step is getting more residents involved.”

Some of the Arvada Chamber’s most popular events are its third Friday breakfasts, where attendees discuss everything from legislative wrap-ups to the state of the city, county, transportation and much more.

“We host a candidate forum every year that is really well-attended by residents,” Welch said. “We’re always looking at ways to tackle these issues.

Sometimes it gets heated, depending on the subject, but that’s how a good discussion goes.”

Smaller chambers, like the West Colfax Community Association, host monthly morning meetings, that provide information and the opportunity to make important community connections.

“My brand new business wouldn’t exist without the WCCA,” said Gene Kalesti, owner of Pure Colorado Event Center and Kitchen. “All the connections needed to get started, I made the association’s meetings.”

In the end, so much of what chambers do comes down to a single word — connection. That applies to businesses, residents and the community at large.

“Our publications of a city guide that talks about Westminster, open job postings on our website, resident community bags and an online events calendar, ensure people can take on an active role in the community,” wrote Juliet Abdel, Westminster Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, in an email interview. “Residents can also partner as community investors and participate in committees and projects that make a significant impact in our city.”

State Senate to determine fate of transportation bill HB-1242 would ask voters to approve sales tax hike for road funding

“All of this needs a vote of the people.”

Sen. Daniel Kagan D-Cherry Hills Village

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

State lawmakers are pushing to get a sales tax increase in front of voters this November to fund transportation infrastructure improvements. But while House Bill 17-1242 has widespread support among Democrats, who ensured its passage in the House, it has been met with mixed approval by Republicans.

The bill would place a measure on the ballot to increase the state sales and use tax from 2.9 percent to 3.52 percent beginning Jan. 1, 2018 and lasting until 2038. It passed a House vote on March 31 by a 41-24 count and advanced to the Senate, where it would need approval before making its way to the governor’s desk. It has been assigned to the transportation committee.

The bill was sponsored in the Democrat-controlled House by Speaker Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, and Rep. Diane Mitsch Bush, D-Steamboat Springs, and in the Republicancontrolled Senate by Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City, and Sen. Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs.

The state transportation system faces a $1 billion per year funding shortfall, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

If the bill passes at the Capitol and then voters give it the nod, the measure would raise a net amount of about $604 million in new revenue from taxes in fiscal year 2018-19, according to an estimate from the Colorado Legislative Council staff.

Under the bill, $300 million of the new revenue will be paid to the state highway fund, with the remainder going to county and municipal governments and a new multimodal transportation fund to develop public transit and bike and pedestrian options. It would also decrease the road safety surcharge — a vehicle registration fee — from $23 to $9 for most cars.

“All of this needs a vote of the people,” Sen. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, said at a town hall he hosted in Littleton on April 4.

Despite some Republican support in the Senate, it drew vocal opposition from House Republicans. Before the House voted on the bill, House Republican Leader Patrick Neville, of Castle Rock, and Assistant Leader Cole Wist, of Centennial, blasted, saying that they were excluded from discussions.

Wist believes that transportation improvements should be paid for with existing revenue streams rather than new taxes.

“It’s irresponsible for us to go and ask for a tax increase before exhausting all other options,” he said.

Wist also believes there will be significant Republican opposition to the bill in the Senate.

“Just because the Senate president is sponsoring the bill doesn’t mean it has majority support of that caucus,” he said.

Ultimately, four House Republicans supported it, including Polly Lawrence, of Roxborough Park. Lawrence,

who initially opposed it, still has problems with the bill, but hopes the Senate will make some changes to it.

“I had quite a few concerns,” she said, noting that she thinks the sales tax increase is too much and she does not like the multimodal transportation oversight committee the bill creates.

She believes the state should dedicate some general fund money to transportation projects.

“The reason I voted `yes’ was to telegraph to the Senate that I think they can make the changes necessary to make this a workable bill to fix our transportation issues across the state,” she said.

Republican House leaders attempted to divert other funding sources to transportation projects during budget negotiations on April 6, but were thwarted by the Democratic majority. Solutions the Republicans offered up included diverting general fund money, reducing funding for renewable energy programs and more.

Kagan, who supports HB 17-1242, said he would prefer raising the income tax to raising the sales tax as a means of meeting budget needs, but understands that is a tougher sell to voters. He also said raising gasoline taxes may not fix the problem, as it’s a shrinking revenue source as people both drive less and drive more fuelefficient vehicles.

“We think that by doing it this way we potentially have a compromise that can be agreed upon,” he said.

meantime, he is learning a skill that he hopes will help land him a job to help pay his way through school.

“Every college town in America has a bike shop,” he said.

Most of Goodturn’s customers since opening in November come in for the rentals. Buying an eBike ranges from $2,000 to $5,000 but a two-hour rental is $30. Outdoor Operation Director Tyler Burns said customers can ride out of the shop and be on the South Platte River Trail in minutes, on their way to Chatfield State Park or other destinations.

“I haven’t had anybody come back and not have a good time,” he said.

Most of the eBikes are pedal-assisted — the rider still has to put in some effort — and top out at 20 mph. The electric motors can be as powerful as 750 watts — slightly more than one horsepower — and add 15 to 20 pounds to the weight of the bike.

Electric bicycles — or eBikes — can provide transportation or outdoor recreation alternatives, but a local nonprofit is also hoping they can provide jobs.

GoodTurn Cycles, located at Aspen Grove shopping center in Littleton, is both an eBike rental and sales outlet and the setting for a budding apprenticeship program.

“This place is designed for young people like me who might have trouble getting a job,” said Nash Hartman, 19.

Hartman graduated from high school last year and spent a semester at Colorado State University before deciding to take some time off. He plans to return to college, but in the

Polish dance celebrates ‘a hard life’

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The residents and staff at Highline Place Memory Care in Littleton gathered the afternoon of April 8 for a birthday party. But it wasn’t just any party.

Olga Lorentz, who turns 90 on April 13, got a taste of her homeland at the party, as the Polish Youth Dancers from Denver’s St. Joseph’s Polish Church performed traditional dances for her party.

Lorentz had an eventful start to her life. She was born in Warsaw, Poland, and at 12 years old saw her city destroyed by Nazi Germany.

Because her father was an antiNazi newspaper publisher, the family fled to eastern Poland, but returned to Warsaw in 1941, amid World War II. Lorentz joined the Polish Home

South Suburban master plan to be presented to board STAFF REPORT

The final draft of South Suburban Parks and Recreation District’s upcoming master plan will be presented to the board of directors in May. The master plan will help the district identify priorities over the next decade. Through surveys and meetings beginning last year, the district and its consultants have identified what the district should focus on, including maintaining existing properties rather than acquiring new ones, improving energy and water use efficiency and connecting trails.

The draft plan is available online until April 14 at bitly.com/ ssprd-master-final-draft. The district will hold a public hearing on the plan at 7 p.m. on April 26 at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial. It will be presented to the board for possible approval on May 10.

South Suburban encompasses 74 parks and more than 2,000 acres of open space, as well as more than 100 miles of trails and four recreation centers across Littleton, Centennial, Lone Tree, Sheridan, Columbine Valley, Bow Mar and unincorporated areas of Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties.

Army, trained as a field nurse and was wounded in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 and later captured by the Nazis and sent to a prison camp.

“Olga has had a hard life,” said her daughter, Danusia Lorentz of Littleton.

Her mother, who moved into Highline Place about a year and a half ago, no longer speaks much.

But she never spoke much about her experience in the war when Danusia and her brothers were growing up in a Polish community in Rochester, New York.

“I always knew,” she said. “She would never discuss it.”

Monika Czaja, assistant dance director for the Polish Youth Dancers, hoped the traditional dress and dances would please Lorentz.

“We want to bring the memories back to her,” she said.

Get your head in the game Centennial coach trains more than physical ability

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sports are not solely reliant on athletic ability.

That’s what Sterling Joseph believes.

Owner of Sterling’s Team Speed and a coach for more than 20 years, he trains his athletes in a different way.

“Physically, we do the same thing as every other training center,” Joseph said. “A lot of places train from the shoulder down. But, with me, I train from the shoulder down and from the shoulder up. A lot of my kids who come out of here will leave with confidence. They believe they can take on the world.”

Joseph, along with six other coaches, trains kids starting at the age of nine and ending at the collegiate level.

The goal is improvement, regardless of the athlete’s level.

“Our primary focus is development,” said Kira Schueppert, Sterling Team Speed’s business manager. “We have some of the top kids in their club or in their sport and we have kids who want to go from the four team to the three team.”

At Sterling’s Team Speed, all levels are welcome. Joseph said he is just as proud of his kids advancing from a four team to a three team as he is his more accomplished players. Mallory Pugh, a member of the United States Women’s National Soccer Team, is one of Joseph’s athletes.

“I brag about all the kids I have, not just the top athletes,” Joseph said.

Joseph moved to Colorado from Louisiana after studying computer science in college. He slept in his car while trying to find work for the first

few days. He started working an IT job while coaching part-time during those first few years here.

Eventually, Joseph decided to coaching full-time.

“It was the best decision I could have made,” Joseph said. “It was a natural fit. There is not a day I am not happy coming to work. I am the luckiest person alive.”

Katie Marcheso, 22, trained with Joseph for 15 years. She was a soccer player who wanted to be at the top of her sport.

“I’ve seen other strength and conditioning coaches throughout my years and he is the best,” Marcheso said.

Marcheso now works for Joseph as a sports performance coach. She believes a great athlete has a strong mind. Leading by example, Marcheso said, has been the best tool to teach the psychological aspect of sports.

“All sports are so mental,” Marcheso said. “I think people forget that it is a huge part of the game. We like to push our athletes harder. Having been through everything from the club to D1 level, I can share it all with the kids.”

Recently, Joseph moved his gym to a new location at 8170 S. University Blvd. in Centennial.

The new place has a sport recovery center, equipped with a cold tub and a hot tub, foam rollers and other recovery tools. It is also furnished with a cardio center, turf fitness area and a weight room.

Joseph initially assesses every kid that comes in for training. Every month, the kids are again tested to chart progress. If there is no improvement, the coaches make a new plan.

But, an athlete’s mind remains a priority. If kids start failing school, Joseph asks them not to return until their grades are improved.

“I want that well-rounded kid,” Joseph said. “It is not just training the body, but the mind as well.”

Above all, Joseph wants the athlete to leave his gym with confidence.

“At the end of the day, I think every kid deserves the opportunity to gain confidence,” Joseph said. “We have some kids in our special performance program who are not athletes.

This mom came in and told us that her kid needed confidence. Now that kid is excelling and is thinking about going into a sport.”

Wastewater treatment plant marks 40th year Event scheduled to celebrate anniversary

The event will be held April 20 at the plant, 2900 S. Platte River Drive, Englewood. A lunch buffet will be served at 11:30 a.m. and there will be an anniversary program at noon and tours of the plant starting at 1 p.m.

Dennis Stowe, plant manager, has been a plant employee for 31 years.

He said Englewood and Littleton each operated wastewater plants up until the mid-1970s.

“The plants needed to be upgraded, but the Environmental Protection Agency ordered the two cities to work together to build and operate a regional plant,” he said. “This plant was

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jimmy Carter was in the White House, Jim Taylor was Englewood mayor and Harold Meyer was Littleton mayor in early April 1977, when the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant went on line. A celebration is scheduled to celebrate the plant’s 40th anniversary.

built and put on line, but the two city plants were operational for a while after the regional plant opened. When this plant became fully operational and could meet processing requirements, the two old plants were shut down and demolished.”

Jim Talent, operations division manager, came to work at the plant soon after it opened.

“The plant was much smaller when it opened,” he said. “When I started in March 1977, our staff was about half the size of our staff today partially because we treated about 30 percent of the volume we treat now. Back then, the whole treatment process was done manually. Of course, our treatment area has expanded and now the treatment process is totally automated.”

Since it was a regional plant, the customer area gradually expanded, which required expansion of the treatment facilities. Talent said there have been three major plant expansionz and a few smaller ones. The result is today the plant treats an average of about 22 million gallons of wastewater a day in order to serve about 250,000

customers in the 108-square-mile area stretching from I-25 to the foothills and from Evans Avenue to Roxborough Park. In addition to Englewood and Littleton residents, the plant serves the residents of 19 additional sewer districts.

The plant is operated as an enterprise fund, which means operations, maintenance and capital improvement costs are paid for by fees collected. The 2017 plant budget is about $18 million.

Stowe said the scope of operation lowers rates for those served by the plant.

“We pay a discharge fee per customer, which now is about 12 cents per customer per year,” he said. “If the plant just served Englewood and Littleton, the discharge fee per customer would be about $1.25.”

The plant has won a wall full of awards. There are national awards from the EPA and the National Association of Clean Water Agencies and regional honors, including recognition from the Rocky Mountain Water Environmental Association.

In order to clean residue and sediments from the mains, the Water Distribution crews will be isolating sections of pipe by shutting off the valves to connecting pipes, then opening the fire hydrant on the main to full volume. The resulting surge of water flushes mineral accumulations from the pipe.

As the rushing water forces the minerals from the mains, it may force small amounts into the connecting service lines. Residents should be aware, therefore, that one or more days during the week of April 17th they may experience a flow of brown water from their taps. They should then turn on their cold water only until the taps are flowing clear.

Because of the nature of the project and the limited time available to complete it, crews will be unable to provide prior notification of their daily schedules. Residents are advised to check their cold water daily during the week of April 17th to determine if their systems have been affected by the flushing.

Hearing for carjacking suspect will continue in May Tremaine Speer was arrested last year on suspicion of crimes in Littleton and Aurora

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A hearing to determine if a man accused of two Littleton carjackings last summer will face charges began April 3 but was not completed.

The preliminary hearing for Tremaine Dwayne Speer, 32, will continue next month. During the first day of the hearing, four witnesses were called by the prosecution.

BIKES FROM PAGE 10

Burns said they are particularly popular among commuters and those who may be physically unable to ride a traditional bicycle.

“We had one lady with a muscle disorder and she couldn’t exercise in any way,” he said. “This was the only way to get her outside.”

Hartman is the only apprentice in the program so far, but Burns said

Speer was arrested Aug. 2 and charged with aggravated robbery, possession of a weapon by a felon, menacing a victim with a deadly weapon and motor vehicle theft.

He is accused of two daytime gunpoint robberies in Littleton and an additional one in Aurora in late July.

The first incident occurred at about 12:20 p.m. July 30 in the 4600 block of West Mineral Avenue. The victim reported that the suspect demanded her car and valuables while brandishing a handgun. She gave up her black 2002 Toyota Celica and was unharmed.

In the second incident, on July 31, a victim suffered non-life threatening injuries after allegedly being struck by the suspect. According to prosecutors, Speer backhanded the victim and threw her to the ground.

at least one other may be coming on board soon. The three-month program is designed to teach bike mechanics as well as retail skills and the specifics of the tourism industry.

“The hardest part is learning the mechanics themselves,” Hartman said. “Dealing with things like ball bearings and not losing them.”

So far he is enjoying the work, however.

“I have two chill bosses and I get to work with my hands,” he said, “so I’m pretty happy.”

Similarly to the first incident, the suspect allegedly approached while she was in the parking lot of Littleton Museum in the 6000 block of South Gallup Street, brandished a handgun and demanded her car, a black 2006 Buick LaCrosse.

The Aurora incident occurred on July 31. In that incident, the victim was with her 10-year-old son.

Speer had recently been paroled after serving prison time for a 2004 robbery conviction at the time of the carjackings. He was arrested Aug. 2 in Denver near 30th Avenue and Fox Street. According to prosecutors, he was wearing a GPS monitor, per the

terms of his parole, when the crimes occurred.

While Speer was found guilty of the robbery for which he was imprisoned in October 2004, he was acquitted of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon in that incident, in which authorities say he shot the victim. His criminal background also includes a previous motor vehicle theft charge from 2003. His last known address was in Aurora.

Speer remains in Arapahoe County Jail on $250,000 bond. The hearing will resume at 1:30 p.m. on May 22 in courtroom 302 at the Arapahoe County Justice Center.

H

ave you ever heard of Rube Goldberg?” Jennifer said.

“Of course.”

“Design one yourself. It might turn into a good column.”

Goldberg (1882-1970) was known for depicting complicated gadgets that are sequenced to complete a very simple task.

They were the opposite of efficiency. I think we all have encountered the opposite of efficiency.

Variations of Goldberg’s ingenious designs have appeared in a number of films. I recommend “The Way Things Go,” but you will also find Goldberg variations in “Back to the Future” and “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure,”

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a famous course, Design and Manufacturing, that requires students to create a robot that will complete a relatively simple task with disproportionate ingenuity.

Ultimately there is a competition, “an Olympics of engineering,” in front of a cheering crowd.

I told Jennifer that I already had a good idea for a column.

“How to brighten up your spring patio with new and colorful furniture.”

She pretended to yawn.

I sat down to work on the crossword puzzle with my favorite No. 2 pencil.

“One across,” I said, “I know that one,”

and I was about to fill in the letters, when the point of my pencil broke.

I looked at Jennifer and Jennifer looked at me.

“How are you going to sharpen your pencil?” she said.

“OK, OK,” I said.

I thought about how I could sharpen the pencil and make an adventure out of it.

How do we sharpen pencils?

When I was just a grade-school boy, I pointed pencils in manual sharpeners. The sharpeners were usually black, and stuck to a wall.

id your car insurance premiums go up this year? You’re not alone. Colorado is experiencing a surge in auto insurance rates, with drivers seeing an average rate increase of 15 percent or more on policy renewals.

This trend has not gone unnoticed.

GUEST We are working hard to bring those COLUMN costs down with a package of bills aimed at reducing insurance rates for struggling Coloradans.

There are a number of reasons, beyond individual risk factors, why we may all be experiencing steep increases in our auto insurance premiums this year. Mandates that incentivize lawsuits or exorbitant jury awards drive up all of our rates.

Several years ago, Colorado had Jack Tate a no-fault insurance system which mandated drivers buy expensive coverage and auto insurance rates skyrocketed. After the no-fault system crashed in on itself in 2003, premiums plummeted and created a marketplace with more individual options suited to drivers’ needs.

However, with more folks moving to Colorado every day, we simply have more drivers on Colorado highways than we can accommodate. Invariably, with more drivers we see more accidents. During the past five years, insurance companies have struggled to keep up with the surge in claims that barely break even with funds collected from our premium costs, especially considering the surge in uninsured motorists.

This Republican-led effort aims to lower premiums

You can still find them.

When I was a college student, one of my drawing professors expected us to whittle our points, and then refine them on little wooden paddles that had small strips of sandpaper stapled to them.

He thought the pencil sharpeners were far too aggressive, and that too much pencil was wasted.

When I taught drawing, I had four electric pencil sharpeners stationed around the room. If it were not for the electric sharpeners, too much class time would have been spent pointing pencils.

We rely on convenience, unless we’re cast away on an island like Tom Hanks.

I did think about the little sandpaper paddles, however. Could I make my own sanding surface and sharpen a pencil that way — if I were stranded somewhere?

I determined that I could. But I would need to have access to sand or

arts. The NEA is the only funder, public or private, that provides equal access to the arts in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, supporting performances, exhibitions, healing arts and arts education programs, festivals, and artist residencies.

And the NEA is on the verge of striking out.

Yes, I understand – and advocate for – the need to reduce the federal deficit, and yet the current White House budget proposal does not do that. And yes, I also understand that reducing the federal deficit means a reduction in spending … a reduction that causes the least harm and has the most impact. This budget doesn’t do that either.

We will never, ever agree on what causes the least harm, but what has the most impact on budget reduction is pretty quantifiable. For example, funding for the National Endowment of the Arts is on the chopping block.

Yet the National Endowment for the Arts’ 2016 appropriation of $148 million constitutes only .004 percent of the federal budget.

Additionally, NEA grants provide a significant return on investment of federal dollars with $1 of NEA direct funding leveraging up to $9 in private and other public funds, resulting in $500 million in matching support in 2016.

With only the $148 million annual budget, the NEA investments in the arts contributes to a $730 billion

grit and some glue.

Any island that calls itself an island has sand.

But I don’t know what I would do about the glue.

I was never a Boy Scout. I have no survival skills. I have a refrigerator.

However, I know that some glues are nature-based, and that sap is very sticky.

I also know that starch is used in some adhesives, for corrugated board and wallpaper.

My island might have a potato tree.

Or I could loan the pencil to a gerbil. They gnaw, you know.

Ultimately, I gave up on it, walked to the studio, and let my electric Panasonic take care of it.

I sat down with my yellow, No. 2 pencil and looked at one across again.

Arapahoe County denies plan for Platte Canyon homes Proposed 40-unit duplex development does not receive zoning change

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On April 4, the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners voted to deny a preliminary development plan and zoning change for a proposed housing development at the

southwest corner of Bowles Avenue and Platte Canyon Road.

The plan, proposed by KB Home, would have allowed for 40 paired duplex homes on the 5.56-acre parcel, a density of 7.08 homes per acre, as opposed to the 2.18 homes per acre allowed under the current residential-2 zoning.

The plan, dubbed Platte Canyon Villas, drew significant opposition from neighbors citing concerns about the density, the traffic and the effect on enrollment at Wilder Elementary School.

A higher-density 50-home development for the site was already denied last year. County staff recommended the revised application be approved, saying that it conforms to the comprehensive plan.

Though the location is in unincorporated Arapahoe County, it is bordered by Littleton on three sides.

Four members of the board voted in favor of District 1 Commissioner Kathleen Conti’s motion to deny the development plan, citing a “lack of compatibility with the surrounding

area.” District 3 Commissioner Jeff Baker said that although he understands objections to the development, he voted against Conti’s motion.

“Property rights was what it came down to,” he said, noting that he also wanted to respect staff and the Planning Commission’s recommendations in favor of the project.

“I understand there are lot of people who think this is incompatible with the area,” he said.

Nurture of nature

Medicinal plants heal the mind, body and soul

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

LIFE

April 13, 2017A

ith spring seedlings now popping through the soil, Colorado gardeners everywhere anticipate the growing season of flowers, vegetables and herbs, all of which can be used for a variety of health benefits, experts say.

Plants are rich in minerals and vitamins that can greatly benefit an individual’s body, mind and

soul, said Dani Otteson, a community herbalist at Milkweed Herbarium in Littleton.

“Medicinal herbs are very versatile,” Otteson said. “I think a lot of times in society we don’t think as much about what we can do to support our health. People think about what medicine they need when they are sick, but we need to take care of ourselves and support our wellness.”

Community herbalists sell medicinal herbs to the public, but they are not to be confused with a medical professional, Otteson said. Before using a plant as medicine, it is always wise to talk to a medical professional about any SEE PLANTS, P19

For the mind Otteson started Milkweed Herbarium a year ago. At her business, she sells herbal teas and teaches classes.

Otteson, a Littleton resident, primarily teaches people how to use medicinal plants, explaining how to blend teas, make syrups and create infused oils or honey.

Since entering the world of medicinal plants, Otteson has experienced a positive change.

“One of the biggest differences is that now I am more aware of how I feel,” Otteson said. “It has gotten me really used to checking in and figuring out why I don’t feel good and where don’t I feel good. At that point, I can find the best thing to help.”

Her class on nurturing grief and broken hearts is Otteson’s favorite class to teach. She teaches people strategies for dealing with grief, such as prayer, exercise and writing.

“There is no one thing that can be an answer, but there are a lot of different strategies I suggest people try,” Otteson said.

She also demonstrates how to make teas that she says help with the grieving process.

Otteson believes that minerals in certain teas can calm and nurture a person. She suggests people drink tea three to four times a day to benefit from minerals in the tea blend.

“In general, minerals are one of the more difficult ingredients for people to get, especially in the standard American diet,” Otteson said.

The teas Otteson blends are all inspired by different punk rock songs and albums.

Otteson’s uplifting, mood-boosting tea blend, for example, is called “Rise Above,” named after a song by the punk band Black Flag.

Otteson said that she creates teas for people dealing with sleep issues and stress. She said it is important to deal with any underlying issues with a psychologist, but she also suggests a soothing tea blend.

Otteson’s most popular tea blend recommended for calming a mind is called “I Want to be Sedated,” named after a song

by The Ramones. In that tea, she puts catnip, chamomile and passion flower.

“Sleep and stress are two of the biggest challenges for people,” Otteson said. “The tea is calming; you can give it to kids, too.”

Dani Otteson, a community Herbalist and recently opened her business, Milkweed Herbarium, holds an unblended tea. S TEPHANIE MASON

For the body Dating back to ancient Egypt, the aloe plant has a long history of medicinal use, according to healthline.com. The plant is a common household succulent often used for sunburn relief.

According to the website: • The plant contains active compounds that may reduce pain and inflammation and stimulate skin growth. Simply rubbing a small amount into a burn several times will help reduce pain and encourage healing.

• The anti-inflammatory property of aloe, B-sisterole, can ease the pain and reduce the affects of rhumatoid arthritis by consuming two ounces of aloe up to three times a day.

• The clear fluid in an aloe plant is 99 percent water. The other one percent is full of antimicrobial properties and contains vitamins C and E. This means that the non-greasy fluid can fight acne, reverse aging effects in skin and serve as a moisturizer.

• Aloe vera extract is also a good substitute for chemical mouthwash. The vitamin C fights plaque and the aloe soothes sensitive, swollen or bleeding gums.

Aloeplant.info, a website serving as a wellness resource to using aloe for health, suggests creating a honey and aloe face mask. The honey’s antibacterial abilities and aloe’s anti-inflammatory properties combined reduce redness, fight acne and moisturize the skin.

To make the mask, combine one tablespoon of pure aloe vera gel and one tablespoon of raw, unpasteurized honey.

Apply to the face, neck or back and leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing the mask off with warm water.

For the soul Rachel Sorrell, owner of Sorrell’s Healing Arts in Evergreen, studied the Mayan approach to medicinal plants in Guatemala.

“I think there is a lot out there that is about fitness and lifestyle, but a lot of the time people forget about self-care,” Sorrell said.

Sorrell works with cacao, which she said is the purest form of chocolate. She mixes two tablespoons of cacao powder in hot water with chili powder and cinnamon — the same way the Mayans consumed the plant.

“In cacao, there are three main ingredients that allow a really beautiful thing to happen within a person,” Sorrell said. “The scientific name for cacao is theobroma. It translates to `food of the gods.’ ” The first ingredient in cacao is theobromine, which is similar to caffeine. Theobromine boosts energy and focus but has less of a “crash” than caffeine, Sorrell said.

The second ingredient in cacao is anandamide, or the “bliss chemical.”

“As humans, we naturally release anandamide when we are feeling pure joy or pure bliss,” Sorrell said.

The third ingredient, phenethylamine, is known as the love chemical. Sorrell said it is naturally produced in the human brain when falling in love.

“These three chemicals together allow people to enter a higher state of consciousness,” Sorrell said.

“Cacao is a facilitator that works within a person’s body to reach a higher state of feeling bliss, love and focus.”

Sorrell leads cacao meditations, in which clients consume a cacao beverage with four to six tablespoons of cacao, more than Sorrell’s recommendation of two tablespoons.

After drinking the cacao drink, the meditation starts with some movement and ends in a sitting meditation.

“When people cry, it makes me so happy,” Sorrell said. “It is not that I like to see people cry, it is just very moving. I can see people work through things with the help of cacao.”

H LINER NOTES

Clarke Reader

All things must pass — another record store gone

ave you ever driven by a house you once lived in, perhaps a childhood home, and wanted to stop in and see how things are different?

I had the opportunity to do this every time I stepped into the Angelo’s CDs and More in Wheat Ridge. I worked in the store through college, and before that my mother owned the Budget Tapes and CDs at that same location for more than 20 years.

But now, after decades of businesses in the Applewood shopping center, the store is closing at the end of April.

I got the bad news during a recent Saturday visit to the store, and it knocked the wind out of me. It was like hearing the house you grew up in was going to be bulldozed.

Like Joni Mitchell once wrote, “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”

According to a handout given to shoppers, the store is closing because of an increase in rent prices in the shopping center, as well as required upgrades to the property that Angelo’s would have to pay for. Instead, the location is having a big closing sale all month, and employees will be going to the East Colfax and South Broadway locations.

With its closing, west Jefferson County loses its only significant independent music store. On West Colfax there is Chain Reaction records, which focuses on metal and punk albums, and on Wadsworth in Arvada there is Black and Read, but that store doesn’t just do music — it also sells books, games and movies. If you want to

health problems and the intended use of a plant to ensure safety.

“If you have a broken arm, you should definitely go to the hospital,” Otteson said. “There are so many ways herbs can support us in our lives, whether it is health challenges or every-day wellness. What it comes down to is people finding help that resonates with them and that they feel comfortable with.”

peruse the latest vinyl releases, check out local artists and get a new CD for your car, the options are now big box stores like Best Buy, Target and Barnes and Noble, or heading to downtown Denver.

In 2015, Colin Hanks (Tom Hank’s son) made a fantastic documentary called “All Things Must Pass,” about the rise and fall of the Tower Records chain. The film is overflowing with interviews with former Tower employees, and music luminaries like Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, Elton John and David Geffen. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about some of the things these people discussed since I found out the Wheat Ridge Angelo’s closing.

The shuttering of Tower, and other independent music shops, has been a slow but steady process since the advent of online shopping sites like Amazon, and digital music retailers like iTunes, Spotify and Pandora.

“How do you compete with that?” Geffen said in one of the film’s interviews.

“You know, if you could get Coca-Cola for free from your faucet, you wouldn’t buy a bottle of Coca-Cola.”

I completely understand how the ease, accessibility and affordability makes these kinds of services appealing and, of course, I use them, just like everyone else.

But I still go to the record store when I find something I love and need a physical copy of, or when I want recommendations.

Because even with all the algorithms and recommendations based on previous search histories, you can’t replace the people who truly, truly love music and want to share it with their customers.

Barbara Marshall, a resident of unincorporated Douglas County, said she believes natural medicine is better received by a body. Marshall said that her daughter, who is a nurse, recently had twins and uses a tea to help her body produce enough milk for her infants.

“I believe using plants are safer because typically organic and natural items are used,” Marshall said.

“Because they are natural items and they are not manufactured in a lab, your body is going to absorb them better.”

Dani Otteson, a community herbalist who recently opened her business, Milkweed Herbarium, poses with a milkweed plant, a plant that Otteson has a deep connection with.

STEPHANIE MASON

“Those people knew their stuff. They were really on their ball. I mean, they just weren’t employees and they happened to work at music stores. They were devoted to music,” John said in the film. “It was inviting. It was like going to your favorite café.”

For years, I was one of those people, and I learned so much about music from the people I worked with and customers I helped. If it really is the little things in life that matter, it’s difficult to top the joy that comes with discovering a new song, album or band that moves you. There’s nothing quite like it.

As Mitchell wrote in the aforementioned song, “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone,” so be sure to celebrate and patronize businesses who provide these kinds of personal services while they’re around. There aren’t many music stores left, and believe me, we need them.

But don’t take it from me — The Boss knows you should, too.

“You know, everybody in a record store is a little bit of your friend for 20 minutes or so,” Springsteen said in the documentary. “There was that family aspect of a real record store.”

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he will miss the Wheat Ridge Angelo’s terribly.

Science behind a story comes alive at conference Annual storytellers conference takes place April 21-23 in Golden

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Storytelling is the oldest form of communication.

“Everyone wants to know how to tell a good story, because stories are what we remember,” said Kate Lutz, board member of Rocky Mountain Storytelling. “And a well-told story will leave a listener wanting more and more.”

Rocky Mountain Storytelling, a nonprofit organization, is bringing its annual conference to Golden April 21-23 at the American Mountaineering Center, 710 10th St.

The conference will attract about 100 people, Lutz said, and will offer each person something they will enjoy — from folk tales to personal stories.

“Some will be serious, and some will be playful,” Lutz said. “And some will be a combination of the two.”

The conference dates back to the 1970s when a college professor started it at Auraria Campus in Denver. It has been at the American Mountaineering Center for about five years, Lutz said.

This year, the conference will host workshops, a storytelling concert, keynote addresses and a storytelling slam.

The event is family-friendly, but it is recommended that children are at least 10 years of age, as the event is geared to provide a fun storytelling experience for adults. The general public will especially enjoy the Friday night storytelling concert and Saturday night’s story slam, Lutz said.

Three plays have strong ties to place Littleton, Denver productions take audiences along for interesting rides

Ryan Buehler plays Jamie, the Robber Bridegroom, and Rebekah Ortiz is Rosamund, his intended bride, in “The Robber Bridegroom,” a bluegrass-flavored musical at Town Hall Arts Center through April 30. COURTESY PHOTO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Some plays say “could be anywhere” in their introductions, but our trio of the week all were clearly tied to a specific and unique locale.

• Eudora Welty’s novella was the inspiration for Town Hall Arts Center’s “The Robber Bridegroom,” a raucous musical by Alfred Uhry and Robert Waldman, backed by a live bluegrass band that’s center stage. Ryan Buehler plays the likable but crafty robber, Jamie Lockhart, who says, “I steal with style!” He tries to lure Rosamund

(Beckah Ortiz), daughter of the richest local planter, Clement (T.J. Hogle), into a marriage.

Along the way, we meet Clement’s wife, Evil Stepmother Salome (Steph Holmbo in an area debut), who even comes up with a poisoned apple, as

well as assorted nasty plots involving elimination of Rosamund. Ryan Heidenreich is her bouncy sidekick, Goat. (These two are supposed to be goofy, but I felt that they overplayed their parts in a deliberately chaotic setting.)

IF YOU GO “THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM” plays through April 30 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton. 303-794-2787, ext 5; townhallartscenter.org.

“THE NETHER” plays through April 23 at Buntport Theater, 717 Lipan St., Denver.

‘United in Love’ concert to aid Denver Actors Fund IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“These stars are returning to their roots to support the theater community from which they came,” said Eugene Ebner, who conceived an April 30 concert, “United in Love,” with actor Paul Page, of Ebner-Page Productions.

“They are examples to all of us for fulfilling their dreams while inspiring and encouraging others.”

The concert will be a benefit for the Denver Actors Fund, which was founded in 2013. The fund has provided aid for members of the area theatre community with situational medical need.

“United in Love” will be presented at 7:30 p.m. April 30 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Tickets cost $39/$59. Also, 100 audience members will, for an additional $25, be invited to mingle with the cast at a post-show reception.

Lonetreeartscenter.org, 720-509-1000.

Ebner was speaking of Annaleigh Ashford, a Wheat Ridge High School graduate, who is getting rave reviews for her Broadway performance with Jake Gyllenhaal in “Sunday in the Park With George.”

She will enjoy a return engagement with Eaglecrest High School gradu-

ate Andy Kelso, who costarred with Ashford in “Kinky Boots.”

Mary Louise Lee, longtime area performer and Denver first lady, will appear as will Broadway’s Jodie Langel, and local composer Denise Gentilli, singers Daniel Langhoff, Sarah Rex, Jeremy Rill, Kirsten and Willow Samu, Eugene Ebner, Randy St. Pierre, Paul Dwyer, Robert Johnson, Thaddeus Valdez, Randy St. Pierre, Clarissa Fugazzoto, Becca Fletcher, Jimmy Bruenger — and more to be announced.

The Denver Actors Fund, started by former Denver Post theater critic John Moore and actor/attorney Chris Boeckx in 2013, has made $82,000 available in the past three years to local the-

ater artists in need. It has helped with medical bills, co-payments, delivery of meals and aid in snow shoveling.

Recently, the fund has helped a young father struggling with chemotherapy, a director who had triple bypass surgery and parents of a child who died with medical and burial expenses.

This will be the biggest benefit in the organization’s history, Moore said.

Theater attendees may have notices large shoes, boots, etc. prominently displayed in theatre lobbies. They are there to gather any spare change the audience may have jingling in a pocket or purse, and everything goes into this important fund. For information or to donate, see denveractorsfund.org.

Decades don’t dim coach’s love of game

M

Douglas County junior Lina Corrales was the winner of the 800 and 1,600 races at the April 3 Highlands Ranch Invitational. She claims it takes heart to succeed in 800-meter runs and between races she walks to stay loose and listens to music.

800 meters can be a real pain Race combines elements of a sprint and a distance event

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The 800-meter run is not a sprint and it’s not a distance race. It’s a hybrid.

It takes speed, stamina, grit and a high threshold for pain to succeed in the 800, which is often referred to as a middle-distance race.

In short, the 800 — which is roughly half a mile — is tough, Colorado high school coaches and runners agree.

“The 800-meter run is absolutely brutal,” said Faith Christian coach Steve Urban, who was the distance coach last season for boys 5A state champion Pomona.

Kaden Lathrop, a senior at Highlands Ranch, was concise when asked what it takes to excel in the 800.

“The number one thing in running the 800 is guts,” he said. “Anyone can be in good enough shape and have the form and speed, but what it really takes to finish an 800 is some guts.”

Mountain Vista junior Caden Foster, a friend and rival of Lathrop, sometimes feels wiggly at the finish.

“It’s a weird race,” he said. “The first half, you feel good, but it hits you immediately after the first lap.

You think, `What am I doing, this is really hard.’ By the time you run the last 100 your legs are Jell-O.” Strategy becomes a big part of the 800, which while neither a sprint nor a distance race, combines elements of both.

SEE TRACK, P31

Littleton sophomore Christian Sapakoff says the hardest part of the 800 meters is “hanging in there mentally.”

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Lance Tillman, lacrosse, sophomore, Valor Christian: The Eagles snapped a four-game losing streak with a 22-8 win over Cheyenne Mountain on April 6, and Tillman had six goals and seven assists.

Cole Blatchford, baseball, senior, Mountain Vista: He allowed four hits over seven innings and two runs while striking out nine batters in a 4-2 win

over Arvada West on April 8.

Micah Conley, track, senior, Arapahoe: He was first in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 15.91, won the 300 hurdles in 41.02 and ran a leg on the 4x400 relay during the City of Littleton Championships on April 7.

Sam Beecher, baseball, junior, Pondero-

sa: The right-hander pitched six innings, allowed one earned run, scattered six hits and fanned 10 batters in the Mustangs’ 5-2 triumph over Evergreen on April 8.

Maddie Etten, soccer, sophomore, SkyView Academy: She scored the game-winning goal in the 3-0 conquest of Front Range Christian on April 6.

arc Johnson was standing near the left-field foul line answering questions, and it didn’t take long to understand why he is still coaching baseball at Cherry Creek High School.

It’s for the love of the game.

OVERTIME On a recent afternoon, he stopped several times as the Bruins were starting practice to stress to pitchers the importance of throwing strikes, to tutor outfielders on drop steps and to remind a shortstop on knowing the arm strength of outfielders.

Jim Benton “I still love working with kids,” he said. “They are fun to work with and they still listen. They try hard.”

Johnson, 72, is in his 45th season as head baseball coach at Creek. He also served for 23 as boys soccer coach.

He is on a Colorado coaching longevity list that includes Denver East and Machebeuf football legend Pat Panek (52 years), Denver Christian basketball coach Dick Katte (48 years), Dove Creek football coach Kenneth Soper (46 years), Heritage and Columbine wrestling mentor Ray Barron (46 years) and Eaton baseball coach Jim Dantley (46 years), who is now an assistant at Littleton. Only Barron and Johnson are active head coaches.

“I’ve been very blessed having the community and administration we have,” Johnson said.

Johnson went into this season with 751 coaching victories, so the success ratio works in his favor. The Bruins have captured eight state championships, been the runner-up five times, a final four team in 22 springs and have earned 29 league titles.

“There are obviously a lot better players today,” Johnson said. “They’re stronger, bigger and faster. Sometimes the baseball IQ isn’t any better. We work every day on baseball IQ stuff.

“Obviously the first state championship in 1983 was memorable. That 1995-96 team when we started that run of five straight state championships was a huge time. That was our heyday.”

Filling out lineup cards, strolling to the mound and prepping fields after unpredictable spring storms will continue to be part of Johnson’s life.

“I’ve always said this: As soon as the kids don’t relate any more and as soon as the kids aren’t happy, I’ll know its time,” he said. “I’m not going to go anywhere until I feel it is time or the school says it’s time. I still absolutely love it.

“For me, I don’t golf or fish because I’m so immersed in baseball. When I do give it up, I’m going to have to learn to fly fish or do something. Coaching is obviously something I love. One thing, I’ve gotten more tolerant than I was when I was younger. You kind of have to shift with the culture a little bit.”

Highlands Ranch senior Kaden Lathrop, who won the 800 and 1,600 at the April 3 Highlands Ranch Invitational, claims elite 800-meter runners need guts to compete. Lathrop showed grit last spring when he missed five weeks of training after undergoing surgery for a ruptured appendix but came back three weeks before the Class 5A state meet and finished fifth in the 800 meters.

“It is kind of its own category. It is more of a mental race,” said Vincent Workman, the Pomona High school 800-meter record holder and now a freshman at Colorado School of Mines. “You just can’t sit back and kick at the end like a distance race and you can’t just go all out all the time like a sprint race. It’s strategy based and mentally based.

“I broke the Pomona high school record for the 800 and that probably was the hardest race of my whole

career and I’ve been running since I was 5-years-old. We started the first lap going real fast so I figured I was just going to die… We just kept going at the same speed the entire race and that’s just something that doesn’t happen in an 800 race.”

Madison Easton, a senior at Mountain Vista, usually likes to go out fast.

“Sometimes that’s not the best move,” Easton said. “I kind of like to go out fast and get my spot. The hardest part of an 800 is the third 200 (meters), so I push the most there and the last 200 is just give it all I’ve got.”

Like many runners, Thornton junior Stephanie Carrasco competes in multiple events. She has run the

has the top 4A times in the 50-yard and 100 freestyle events of 21.72 seconds and 47.51 seconds. Ponderosa also has the best times in the 200 and 400 freestyle relays. The Mustangs swam a 1:31.93 in the 200 and 3:18.89 in the 400.

Jack Moranetz of D’Evelyn was first in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:58.20. Senior Johan Staton of Standley Lake has the quickest 200 IM time of 1:58.20.

New basketball coaches Ponderosa has hired an Arapahoe High School graduate as its new head boys basketball coach.

3,200, 1,600 and 800 this season. She favors the longer races — by comparison, the 800 seems almost like a sprint event.

“I prefer the 3,200 because it’s a long-distance event,” she said. “The 800 is really tough because it’s basically sprinting for 800 meters without pace.”

Highlands Ranch coach John Padjen calls the 800 a “grueling race” that demands endurance and speed.

“And most importantly, a willingness to fight through a high level of pain,” he said.

For Douglas County junior Lina Corrales, desire plays a part in meeting the demands of the 800, no matter

Thornton junior Stephanie Carrasco cruises to victory in the girls 400 meter run at the Maxine Ehrmann Invitational track meet at Adams 12 North Stadium in Westminster on April 8. Carrasco clocked in at 62 seconds, without starting blocks, on her “sprint” day, during which she bypassed both the 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs.

STEFAN BRODSKY what race tactic is used.

“If you want to race well, you just kind of have to love it and just make sure you have your heart in it 100 percent,” Corrales said. “You just have to deal with the pain and then at the end just hope you make it the best.”

Littleton sophomore Christian Sapakoff agrees with those runners who have a love-hate relationship with the 800 meters.

“I hate it when I’m doing it but afterward I like it,” he said. “The toughest thing is just hanging in there mentally. You end up hitting kind of a wall at some point and you don’t want to run anymore, but you have to keep going.”

all-state basketball player in 2002 at Arapahoe, will take over the Class 4A Mustangs’ program, according to Athletic Director Tim Ottmann.

Schuman was the starting point guard at Colorado College from 2002-05. He replaces Steve Ketchum, who coached Ponderosa for the past two seasons, compiling a record of 22-26.

Meanwhile, Darren Pitzner, an assistant coach the past

two years at Lakewood, is the new head girls basketball coach at Green Mountain.

Pitzner takes over a team that was 11-14 last season and graduates only three players.

Getting out and getting going

PLAYS FROM PAGE 22

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Each spring, warm temperatures and an abundance of sunshine beckon Coloradans out of the house. Whether starting a workout regimen from scratch or just trying to get back to their pre-winter form, Dr. Kathy Vidlock of Colorado Orthopaedics in Lone Tree says the benefits of walking and running go beyond weight loss and physical fitness.

“Exercise of any kind is beneficial for people with depression and anxiety. It helps relieve stress and it helps regulate sleep patterns. It helps all people rest more easily at night,” Vidlock says. “Walking is probably the most underrated form of exercise there is.”

Vidlock offers other words of advice to help walkers and runners of all shapes, ages and sizes get the safest and healthiest workout on the trails, sidewalks and shopping mall floors in the area.

Happy trails Vidlock says outdoor environments like trails and sidewalks provide the best psychological benefit, but indoor environments like the mall are better suited for rainy or cold days. Trails are softer than sidewalks and better suited for people who are just starting out or have joint pain. Concrete sidewalks provide more stability for those starting a running regimen who may be at risk for falls.

Dress for success “Shoes can really help you or hurt you,” Vidlock says. She recommends going to a running or walking goods retailer to be fitted. Other recommendations are to wear layers of wicking fabric, material that draws perspiration away from the body, to prevent getting too hot during a run or walk, or getting damp and cold as the workout ends.

Get going A good goal for beginners is to work up to a routine of walking for 30 minutes at a time, three times a week. Adding short bursts of intensity to the walk, which Vidlock describes as “a point where maintaining a conversation becomes difficult,” will maximize benefits to the heart and lungs. After establishing a routine, she recommends walking for nine minutes and Continued From Last Page 58793 Page 4 or 4 irrigation season delivery of ACWWA’s FIDCO Shares. 10.4.

ACWWA’s Claim to Appropriate Return Flows Associated with its Changed Shares in the Weldon Valley Ditch Company (“ACWWA’s Weldon Shares”). 11.1. Name of Structure. Weldon Valley Ditch, the decreed point of diversion of which is located on the North bank of the South Platte River, in the SW1/4 of the NW1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 13, Township 4 North, Range 61 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. 11.2.

running for one, then adding a minute of running and reducing a minute of walking each week.

Talk with your doc Vidlock recommends consulting your doctor to make sure you’re physically able to begin a walking or running regimen, especially if you have a family history of heart disease or lung problems. She also cautions individuals with musculoskeletal or joint instability to consult their physician before pounding the pavement.

Keep going “The first couple of weeks are always the hardest,” Vidlock says. “If you know that there are going to be times when you don’t really feel like running, it will be easier for you to keep going.”

She also advises inviting others to join in and reminding yourself of health benefits to stay motivated at first. Maintaining a routine for four to six weeks makes it more likely it will become part of your lifestyle.

Treat yourself Rewards are a great way to motivate yourself to begin and maintain a walking or running routine, as long as the reward isn’t chocolate cake.

Vidlock says other types of rewards, like a new pair of shoes or exercise equipment, can be just as motivating, and less self-defeating.

11.6. Amount Claimed. Any and all amounts of return flows determined to be attributable to ACWWA’s Weldon Shares, conditional. 11.7.

Claimed Uses. ACWWA’s claimed uses for the water attributable to its return flows associated with its Weldon Shares are described in above in paragraph 9.7. 12. Change in Use of ACWWA’s Previously Changed Water Rights.

12.1. Change in Use. Pursuant to Colo. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 37-92-305(3)(e), ACWWA seeks to change the previously-quantified water rights described below (collectively, the “Previously Changed Shares”) to allow such water to be used and stored as described below. 12.1.1. Fulton Irrigating Ditch Company Shares. In the 313 Decree, ACWWA originally changed 182 shares of Fulton Irrigating Ditch Company from irrigation use to municipal, augmentation, replacement, recharge, exchange, and substitution uses, either directly or following recharge and/or storage.

12.1.2. Farmers Independent Ditch Company Shares. In the 72 Decree, ACWWA originally changed 20 Farmers Independent Ditch shares from irrigation use to municipal, augmentation, replacement, recharge, exchange, and substitution uses either directly or following recharge and/or storage. 12.1.3. Weldon Valley Ditch Company Shares. In Consolidated Case Nos. 11CW151/05CW58, ACWWA changed 62.625 Weldon Valley Ditch shares from irrigation use to

municipal, augmentation, replacement, recharge, exchange, and substitution uses either directly or following recharge and/or storage. 12.1.4. New Cache la Poudre Irrigating Company (“NCLPIC”) and Cache la Poudre Reservoir Company (“CLPRC”) Shares. In Case No. 13CW3026, ACWWA is seeking to change 96 shares in the NCLPIC and 20 shares in the CLPRC from irrigation use to municipal, augmentation, replacement, recharge, exchange, and substitution uses as more fully described in the application and proposed decree in that case. 12.2. Replacement of Return Flow Obligations. The decrees for the Previously Changed Shares require Applicants to meet historical return flow obligations in time, place, and amount as more fully described in the relevant decrees. ACWWA seeks the ability to meet these return flow obligations using any of the water rights described in Exhibit 4, so long as those rights have been decreed for use for augmentation, replacement, or substitution. Additionally, ACWWA seeks the ability to use any future acquired water rights to meet these return flow obligations to the extent that future acquired sources are decreed for augmentation, replacement, or substitution purposes. 12.3. Additional Uses.

To the extent the Previously Changed Shares are not already decreed for such purposes, ACWWA seeks to add the following as permissible uses of the Previously Changed Shares. 12.3.1.

Augmentation Plans. ACWWA may use its Previously Changed Shares in the augmentation plans decreed in Case No. 10CW306 and any future augmentation plans sought by ACWWA. 12.3.2.

Recharge Facilities. ACWWA may use its Previously Changed Shares in the recharge facilities previously decreed in Case Nos. 10CW306, the recharge facilities sought in this application, and any other existing or future recharge facilities to which ACWWA may legally recharge wa-

pretty confusing if one seeks a linear plotline. (Don’t bother!)

Dance numbers, with a bluegrass flavor, are choreographed by Kelly Kates and the music director is Donna Debreceni.

Enjoy this one for its colorful collection of backwoodsy characters and upbeat music.

• Science fiction fans are the target audience for Jennifer Haley’s play, set in a virtual wonderland. “The Nether” is presented as a first offering by the new Benchmark Theatre Company at the Buntport Theater (though very different from Buntport company’s witty productions).

The central set is the bedroom of an old house, in Sims/Papa’s virtual world, where people fulfill some unacceptable fantasies. Just log in and choose an identity …

On the outside, in the real world, is the office of detective Morris (Haley Johnson), who suspects something is going on and interviews Papa and his clients, who each have a storyline.

Johnson is company co-founder with director Rachel Bouchard.

Papa is well-played by local actor Marc Stith, also a company member, and the clients who enter his world are Doyle (the excellent Jim Hunt) and another detective type, Woodnut (Cameron Varner). In the Nether, they meet 12-year-old Iris (talented young Ella Madison, who happily said in an after-show talk-back, “I like to be someone else!”).

• A hot, humid Louisiana trailer park, in 1991, is a crowded home for Wanda (Kelly Uhlenhop) and Al (Robert Michael Sanders) and their four kids in “Baby Dance.” Pregnant with a fifth child she does not want, the desperate Wanda runs a newspaper ad and connects with a well-off childless couple and a lawyer who handles such matters.

The prospective mom, Rachel (Megan Van De Hey), appears to get acquainted shortly before the baby is due to arrive, and is obviously uncomfortable with the trailer trash lifestyle, although she tries to keep calm. Al appears on the scene, swearing at the neighbors and their dog and generally hostile. His angle is to see how much money he can extract from Rachel and her husband Richard (Josh Levy). Sanders plays nasty guy really well in this piece.

The scene moves to the hospital, where baby arrives and lawyer Ron (Gracen Porecca) joins the scene, conferring with Richard and deflecting Al’s requests for a new car.

This poignant tale is well-presented by Cherry Creek Theatre Company in its new home at the Mizel Arts and Culture Center.
