MY NAME IS

JOSHUA WOODWORTH

Army veteran, musician who’s seen the tough side of life

Army strong I was born and raised in Colorado, then I lived in Arizona and New Mexico, and graduated high school in Wyoming. I joined the Army 15 days after I turned 18.

I was stationed in Germany, and I was in charge of maintaining readiness in case of a gas or chemical attack or spill — I kept the gas masks and hazmat suits ready to go. If a chemical attack occurred, we’d be sent in first. Thankfully nothing like that ever happened.

I took a lot of humbleness from my experience in the Army — a lot of core values that are important to me today, like integrity, honor, and selflessness. I try to apply those every day in my interactions.

Music man I moved back to Colorado after the Army, and now I’m deep into the music scene.

I rap, and I’ve been playing guitar for about 10 years. I play heavy metal, hip hop and rap. I also do ticket sales and promoting. I love the music scene in Denver — it’s so supportive.

I go by the stage name Ku$h. Ev-

Joshua Woodworth said he carries the lessons he learned in the Army into the rest of his life. eryone calls me that now. It’s almost weird to be called Joshua anymore.

Pretty much only my family does that.

Music is my remedy. It’s my therapy, but to a higher level. Music brings clarity. It allows me a place to express myself and share myself with people.

Tough times Family is big in my life. I don’t have

South Metro Fire Rescue — which now provides service to Littleton, as well as Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and other nearby areas — brought numerous vehicles, including massive ladder trucks.

The event is one of the high points of the year for firefighters and their fans alike, said South Metro Fire Chief Bob Baker.

“Littleton is the best little town ever, and we just have so much fun getting out here with kids and showing them what we do,” Baker said. “Who knows? Maybe some of these kids will get the bug and want to grow up to be firefighters.”

LPS kicks off largest-ever bond projects Old Ames Elementary first step in massive effort to upgrade district facilities

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mallet-wielding school board members took the first swings at the walls of the old Ames Elementary School in Centennial on June 13, officially kicking off a series of projects under Littleton Public Schools’ largest-ever bond.

As the dust settled, Superintendent Brian Ewert took a few extra swings at a stubborn shelf, which eventually gave way.

“Boy, I hope our new schools are built that tough,” Ewert quipped.

The $298 million bond, approved by voters in November and by far the largest in the district’s history, will see Ames, Newton Middle School and Franklin Elementary schools demolished and replaced, a Career and Technical Education center outfitted adjacent to Littleton High School, and renovations and

TLC MEALS ON WHEELS TO MOVE OUT OF AMES TLC Meals on Wheels, which provides meals and other services to seniors and homebound adults and has been using the old Ames cafeteria since 2009, will have to move out of Ames by Dec. 20, said Diane Doney, Littleton Public Schools assistant superintendent.

TLC was originally slated to be moved to another district facility, district officials said in March, but as bond planning shook out it became apparent there was no room for the nonprofit.

The group has since pinned down a new home in a soon-to-be-closed restaurant in Littleton, said Diane McClymonds, TLC’s executive director.

“We’re hopeful to close on the building in early July,” McClymonds said. “We’ll be looking for financial support to pay for it and do much-needed renovations. It’s daunting, I won’t lie. This is big for this organization.”

TLC provides meals to about 500 people a day, McClymonds said.

upgrades to numerous schools and athletic facilities in the district.

The district expects to wrap up the current slate of projects by 2022.

said Diane Doney, the district’s assistant superintendent, who is overseeing much of the bond work. The construction of the new school is expected to cost $28 million.

Ames, built in 1963, was one of two LPS schools shuttered in 2008 due to declining enrollment and a budget crunch, Ewert said. The other closed school, Whitman Elementary, has since become the district’s alternative high school.

An influx of young families into the neighborhood in the years since prompted the district to pursue returning an elementary school to the site,

Old school, new school Ames, near Colorado Boulevard and Dry Creek Road, is among the district’s first major bond projects. Ames will be demolished in phases over the next year, with the new, two-story elementary school slated to open in the fall of 2021.

a principal with MOA Architecture, which is planning the school.

Though plans for the school are still preliminary, the design presented at the groundbreaking ceremony on June 13 calls for a series of wings radiating from a central hub. Outdoor classrooms would be located in the courtyards between wings.

“This is a collaborative effort between us, the district, teachers, parents and students,” Sullivan said.

The design incorporates lots of natural light, Sullivan said, and rooms and corridors are designed for versatile uses. The building will feature far greater security and energy efficiency than the district’s old schools, Sullivan said.

The preschool currently housed at Ames will be shifted to a new temporary wing at Highland Elementary, Doney said.

Highland will eventually move its elementary students to Franklin Elementary, Doney said, with the entire building becoming a preschool. Students will be housed in the old Franklin Elementary while its replacement is built.

Work progressing Though Ames is the first big-ticket project, other bond projects are already underway at other schools, said Terry Davis, the district’s director of operations, maintenance and construction.

WHAT DOES THE MONEY PAY FOR? Littleton Public Schools’ $298 million bond is more than triple the size of its last bond, which was $80 million, passed in 2013.

Newton Middle School • 26.9 percent: Replacing Ames and Franklin elementary schools

• 2.4 percent: Technology upgrades

Homeowners in the school district paid $43 per $100,000 of actual home value toward the bond on this year’s property taxes, said Diane Doney, Littleton Public Schools assistant superintendent. The number is likely to fluctuate slightly in coming years due to the impact of the Gallagher Amendment, which reduces property taxes, and other factors, Doney said.

• 10.1 percent: Outfitting the Career and Technical Education center

The total repayment cost of the bond will be $584,690,150, according to the district’s website.

• 4.0 percent: Installing artificial turf fields: two at each high school and one at each middle school

kitchens at Powell Middle School and Moody, Runyon and Twain elementary schools, Davis said, including installing new freezers and reworking serving lines to flow faster.

Other projects include revamping Arapahoe’s HVAC system, repairing the roof of Littleton Preparatory Charter School and improving ac-

cess for people with disabilities at several schools, Davis said.

“When you think about your first year under a bond like this, you’re talking about things that are easy successes without a lot of design and engineering,” Davis said.

Some elements of the bond planning have seen changes since they were announced, Davis said.

A planned “junior stadium” at Newton Middle School, at Arapahoe Road and Colorado Boulevard, has been moved from the property’s east end to the west end to be farther from residences, Davis said, partly in response to neighborhood concerns.

The district is still waiting to take possession of a pair of buildings near Littleton High School that will become a sprawling Career and Technical Education center, Davis said. The current occupants, a car dealership, have a lease allowing them to stay in the building for another year or two.

Many thanks Ewert said he’s pleased with the initial progress of the bond projects, though he’s eager to make sure the district gets it right.

“Sometimes I feel like a kid in a candy shop, but I also want to make sure we do all this right the first time to provide beautiful, effective learning spaces for future generations,” Ewert said.

Ewert said he’s overflowing with gratitude toward the groups that are helping bring the bond to fruition:

Reverse Mortgage: No Monthly Payment, Get Cash & Pay Off Your Mortgage

I

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried about which bills to pay on your fixed income? Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the answer you have been seeking.

A government insured loan product that allows you to pay off your current mortgage thereby eliminating your monthly mortgage payment can provide the budget breathing-room you need.

Taxes and homeowner’s insurance must still be paid, but many seniors have found that not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. But now a reverse mortgage will allow you to access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get

cash and make life a little easier.

Get the correct facts. There is a lot of wrong information floating around about reverse mortgages. With a reverse mortgage, no one owns the home but you, and no debt is passed on to your heirs. You will still have substantial equity in your home, and can sell at any time.

Call me for more information on your situation and to see if this program will benefit you. You owe it to yourself and your family to know your options, with accurate facts.

Orangetheory campaign supports ALS research PROJECTS FROM PAGE 7

Denver-area fitness club members raise $124,000 to help find cure

‘I am proud of our members, franchisees and studios who joined forces to help those in our community who are facing serious illnesses.’

STAFF REPORT

Orangetheory Fitness members in the Denver metro area came together to raise money to help find a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

According to a news release, members donated $25 to take 90-minute in-studio Augiethon classes from May 1-15 at all 29 studios across the Front Range, and $124,000 was raised in the metro area. Nationally, Orangetheory raised $4.5 million.

Proceeds from each Augiethon were

donated to Augie’s Quest, a national organization founded by Augie Nieto to help move a cure-driven drug further down the development pipeline. Nieto, founder of Life Fitness, was diagnosed with ALS in 2005 and has since made it his mission to find a cure for the disease.

“I am proud of our members, franchisees and studios who joined forces to help those in our community

who are facing serious illnesses,” Tim Johnson, Orangetheory representative for Colorado, said in the release.

“Our team is extremely grateful to our members and participants at all 29 of our studios who took part in Augiethon and selflessly gave of their time, energy and finances to make a difference in the lives of those struggling with this debilitating disease.”

the community that voted to approve the bond, the bond oversight committee that is serving as a watchdog of the funds, the longrange planning committee that continues to work on planning projects and priorities, and community stakeholders who are providing input on plans.

The bond projects are welcome investments in the future of a historically high-performing district, said Board of Education President Jack Reutzel moments after pounding away at the wall at Ames.

“Our teachers and administrators have done a remarkable job teaching 21st century skills in buildings that are often from earlier in the last century,” Reutzel said. “Strong communities make strong schools, and vice versa. Knocking this wall down is a first step in something that will last for decades to come.”

Larree Chetelat, former Lowry commander, dies at 88 Vietnam veteran worked on Hubble Space Telescope

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Former Lowry Air Force Base commander and father of five Larree Chetelat died on June 13 after an illness. He was 88.

Chetelat, a Littleton native who lived in Parker, was a 1949 graduate of Littleton High School, said his daughter Kristine Chetelat-Ament.

Chetelat married Dona Lilly on July 22, 1951, at Littleton Methodist Church, and graduated Colorado State University in 1953. Chetelat entered the Air Force as a second lieutenant

and was called to active duty in 1954.

As a pilot and navigator, Chetelat flew combat missions in Vietnam, and earned medals, including the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Later promoted to colonel, Chetelat at one point served in the Pentagon, and served as the commander of Lowry Air Force Base from 1981-82.

After retiring from the Air Force, Chetelat worked for Lockheed Martin, and worked on the Hubble Space Telescope, Chetelat-Ament said.

Chetelat also authored four cruise ship travel guides. Chetelat enjoyed golf and swing dancing, his daughter said.

Chetelat is survived by his wife Dona, five children, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

Voters could decide on tax questions, mayoral elections City council discusses possible future ballot measures

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton voters could decide on new or higher taxes in the next couple election cycles, city council heard on June 11.

Council held a spitballing session on possible future ballot issues at the June 11 study session, talking in broad strokes about five possible measures: creating a lodging tax, increasing the city sales tax, allowing citizens to directly elect the mayor, instituting a fee on event tickets, and beefing up severance packages for city managers.

Rooms with a due Littleton currently does not have a lodging tax, Mayor Debbie Brinkman told council, and said that instituting one could help the city support cultural amenities like The Hudson Gardens and the Town Hall Arts Center.

Voters rejected a proposed 3% lodging tax in 2013 by a nearly two-to-one margin, according to city records.

The time is right to ask voters again, Brinkman said.

“A lodging tax is a logical tax,” Brinkman said.

Littleton has several new hotels since 2013, she said, which often cater to business travelers. They are at the northeast corner of C-470 and Santa Fe Drive.

“They stay largely occupied,” Brinkman said. “I don’t know that putting a tax on those would have any kind of detrimental effect.”

The lodging tax could also apply to the city’s short-term rentals, she said.

City Finance Director Tiffany Hooten is slated to present possible lodging tax scenarios at different percentage rates at an upcoming study session.

The taxman cometh Though it’s too daunting to pursue for this fall’s election, Littleton also needs to more seriously explore a longdiscussed sales tax increase, Brinkman said.

“We’ve talked endlessly about the deficit in our capital projects budget,” Brinkman said. “We are not seeing astronomical jumps in sales tax revenue, and we should not expect that.”

Littleton’s sales tax rate is currently 3%, according to the city website. A jump to 4% could increase city revenue by $11.8 million annually, Hooten said.

The mayor said there are plenty of projects the money could be put toward.

“We have a list a mile long,” Brinkman said. “It stretches from potholes to the city Service Center to Town Hall (Arts Center) to Geneva Village (a city-

owned low-income housing complex).”

Councilmember Karina Elrod said she’d like to wait to approach citizens with tax increase proposals until after the city has completed its work on the comprehensive plan, economic development plan and transportation master plan.

“Then we’d have something to say ‘here’s what we’re predicting and planning for,’ so it becomes a lot more tangible where the need is,” Elrod said.

Increased sales tax revenue could also help the city save up to provide matching funds for state and federal grants to upgrade major corridors like Santa Fe Drive, said City Manager Mark Relph.

Fixing snarled traffic at Santa Fe and Mineral Avenue is likely to cost upward of $90 million, Relph said.

“Having our share (of matching grant funds) in place puts us in a better position to get it done,” Relph said.

Raising the sales tax would involve a substantial public process, Brinkman said.

Weightier mayor? Maybe Littleton could boost its regional standing by allowing citizens to directly elect a mayor to a four-year term, said Brinkman, who is term-limited and will leave office this fall.

Littleton City Council currently elects a mayor from among its sitting members to a two-year term, which Brinkman said limits the mayor’s

clout.

“It’s very difficult for cities with two-year mayors to get into regional leadership positions to help bring an impact to the community,” Brinkman said, because regional organizations like the Denver Regional Council of Governments or Metro Mayors Caucus typically appoint leaders to concurrent four-year terms.

Littleton is likely in for a reshaping of council districts after the 2020 census, Brinkman said, which could make a good time to rework the mayoral system.

Brinkman proposed reducing the number of districts in the city from four to three, with each district represented by two members, and citizens directly electing an at-large mayor.

Littleton could stand to take steps to become more of a regional player, said councilmember Jerry Valdes, especially if the census shows a jump from Littleton’s currently listed population of roughly 47,000.

“If the census cracks 50,000 (in population), it makes a lot more sense,” Valdes said of the proposal.

Other Colorado cities, including Pueblo and Castle Rock, have recently switched to direct mayoral election, Brinkman said.

“Those that make the switch don’t seem to be switching back,” Brinkman said.

Vets say thanks to patriotic business owner Littleton VFW honors Dave Wood, who cleans uniforms for free

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dave Wood cleans military members’ uniforms for free.

That means something to men and women who have worn some pretty dirty uniforms.

Wood, the owner of Lapels Dry Cleaning at Pierce Street and Coal Mine Avenue, was recognized by the Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #4666 at the post’s June 11 meeting, in honor of his practice of providing free uniform cleaning for active duty and retired military. Wood also cleans American flags and veterans’ hats for free, and offers deep discounts for first responders.

Wood received a standing ovation from the post’s members, who have served in combat from Okinawa to Baghdad.

“It’s humbling, really,” Wood said after receiving his citation. “These guys are the heroes. I just do what I can to say thank you.”

Recognizing patriots like Wood is important, said Bill Baldaccini, head of the post’s Americanism Committee, which seeks to boost American pride.

Veterans of Foreign Wars members Bill Baldaccini, right, and Lynn Kilian applaud Lapels Dry Cleaning owner Dave Wood and his wife Karen. Littleton’s Pat Hannon VFW Post #4666 honored Wood for his practice of cleaning American flags and veterans’ uniforms for free.

DAVID GILBERT “Our heritage has been a stalwart champion of patriotic values, morals, culture and citizenship,” Baldaccini told the crowd of veterans and their families. “Our pursuit of Americanism embodies our devotion to law and order, the raising of wholesome youth, educated and law-abiding citizenship, and respectful observance of patriotic holidays and remembrances.”

Though Wood is not a veteran himself, he said his interaction with veterans has imbued him with a

deeper appreciation for the trials they face — both in foreign combat zones and on the home front.

Wood recalled a young man who showed up at the dry cleaners at closing time, asking for his uniform to be cleaned — and made ready an hour before Wood opened again in the morning.

When Wood asked about the tight turnaround, the young man said he had a funeral to attend in the morning: the fifth member of his platoon

to die by suicide since returning from combat in Afghanistan.

Wood met the deadline, and the young man thanked him by giving him a nameplate from his uniform.

“Whenever I look at that nameplate,” Wood said, “It helps me keep things in perspective. It makes me realize things in my life aren’t so bad.”

Littleton’s VFW post currently has 130 members, and helps raise money for a variety of veterans’ causes, Baldaccini said.

Like many fraternal organizations, the VFW is struggling to attract younger members, said Nate Smith, a veteran of the Gulf War and Iraq who joined with his dad, Jerry Smith, who served in World War II and Korea.

For one thing, Smith said, there are so many more veterans’ organizations now than in decades past.

“It’s also a time thing,” Smith said.

“These are young guys who come back and are eager to start a career, to start a family. People don’t have a lot of free time. But we do have a lot to offer.”

The VFW also provides camaraderie for those who served their country in dark places and times, Stone said.

“When we came back from Vietnam, we really weren’t treated so well,” Stone said. “After the Gulf War in the 1990s, the attitude toward veterans started to change. After that, we said we’d never let another group of veterans be treated like we were. You can see that pride here tonight.”

VOICES Hey kids, life is nice without that device

I

was standing at the crossroads a few years ago. Along came a fellow with a guitar.

Said his name was Robert Johnson and that he had something to sell, but not to me.

I told him, “Me too.”

He gave me a smile and then he played a tune. I found out later it was a song called “Dust My Broom,” which makes no sense grammatically, but it sure sounded good.

After he was through playing, he said, “What are you asking for in exchange?”

I told him I had a strange request.

I said I wanted resistance.

“Resistance to what?”

“Excessive social media usage.”

He said, “Man, what are you talking about?’

I told him I wanted mental health.

He said, “You know what that means, don’t you? You’ll have to give up your phone.”

I told him, “I can do it.”

New research shows that “phones raise student anxiety,” according to

an Associated Press article written by Carolyn Thompson.

She cites a National Education Association newsletter that labeled the anxiety a “mental health tsunami.”

She said, “Research now points to smartphone-driven social media as one of the Craig Marshall biggest drivers of (stuSmith dent) stress.”

She referred to a South Carolina high school teacher’s classroom experiment that had each student document every smartphone notification they received for one hour.

“One girl got close to 150 Snapchat notifications,” the teacher reported.

Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State, said, “What a lot of teens told me is that social media and their phones feel mandatory.”

An editorial in the American Acad-

QUIET DESPERATION

emy of Pediatrics’ journal stated, “Aberrant and/or excessive social media usage” could contribute to teenage “feelings of isolation, depressive symptoms, and anxiety.”

I have not seen a teenager in public in the past 20 years who wasn’t on the phone, holding a phone, kissing a phone or dancing with a phone.

A school in Maine, Belfast Area High, tried an experiment of its own that failed miserably.

No cellphones for a single day.

Guess what percentage took part?

(Answer at the end.)

I got what I wanted at the crossroads.

My mental health seems fine. (Maybe not everyone would agree with that.)

All I know is I don’t have a speck of anxiety when I realize I have left home without my phone.

And I don’t have an iota of anxiety when I haven’t checked my messages for 10 minutes.

It might help to be enormously unpopular in the first place.

I do email all over the place, respond

After the funeral — a look at being ready

T

he cause of death was influenza. For those of you following the story of my father-in-law, he spent nine weeks in the hospital due to the flu. While it is not unusual for a 90-year old to pass away, these circumstances were bizarre to experience. First the flu, then a fall, then complications with swallowing, and a myriad of everything that could go FINANCIAL wrong, did.

STRATEGIES Fortunately, Dad was lucid for several days during these events. While no one ever spoke about the fact he would never go home again, we kind of talked around the subject. “Hey Dad, do you still have the safe deposit box?” “Whatever happened to Grandma’s “Did I see a safe Patricia Kummer Hummels?” in the basement? Do you remember the combination?” It was a little private investigating along with ice chips and IVs. Everyone knew he was not going home except him, so it was a bit awkward.

Luckily, he had made his funeral arrangements when his wife died and most decisions around the ceremony and burial were in place. Except, don’t ever request a “duplicate

of my wife’s arrangements” unless you want a pink lining in your casket. Luckily, we caught that one.

We were in no hurry to dig into the will and estate documents, but it turned out that cleaning out the house was one of the best ways to mourn. All of the kids and grandkids were together working. We were laughing at old pictures and picking out mementos.

As we came across financial statements, we quickly saw he had beneficiaries listed on everything and there would be no need to open an estate or go through probate. Another toast to Dad! A death in the family reminds us that life is fleeting and there is no reason to delay getting your own house in order. If you do not have a trust, you should consider doing the following: • List POD (Pay on Death) on all bank accounts and CDs • Add a signer to your safe deposit box. It will be sealed instantly without one.

• Put TOD (Transfer on Death) on all investments. Consolidate your mutual funds and stock certificates into a brokerage account, then this will be easier.

• Add a beneficiary deed on the house title.

If there is a teenager within the sound of this column who does not let a smartphone control your life, I’d like to hear about it. Just don’t call me.

How do you do it, when all of those around you are transfixed and absorbed?

We didn’t even have cordless phones when I was a kid. The ages were darker than that: We didn’t have rap music.

Imagine that: We didn’t have cellphones or salacious, rhyming chants that all sounded alike.

Sometimes I don’t know how I made it without them.

Keep yourself humble to avoid a stumble

O

ne of my favorite things to see is a humble winner. Not only a humble winner, but also a humble leader who willingly shares the victory and gives credit to the team around them, their friend, or a family member. In a world where outrageous behavior seems to garner the most attention, I still try and purposely find examples of those humble winners out there who let their actions and results speak for themselves and show gratitude and appreciation for those who have helped along the way.

Now I love entertaining and exciting events. It’s good to see people fired up about their achievements and success. As a matter of fact, sometimes those feats are worthy of our applause.

The walk-off home run, the hole in one, the artist and song we love winning the Grammy, the movie we enjoyed so much winning the Oscar, the salesperson on our team who just closed a massive opportunity and so

many other examples. I love it, I applaud it, and I appreciate it.

What I appreciate more, however, is when WINNING the athlete thanks their WORDS teammates and coaching staff or acknowledges their family that has supported them along the way.

The celebrity who receives their award on Michael Norton stage and gives thanks to God, their family, and their co-stars.

The golfer who tips their hat, picks up their ball, and moves on to the next hole.

When things seem to be going really well, maybe even when things are going fantastic for us personally or professionally, it becomes easy for us to get caught up in our own success. Adoration

• Take your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) early in the year. If you pass away without taking it, there may need to be an estate opened to accept the RMD. • Buy a shredder and start using it. Don’t keep old, confidential papers around for someone to try and determine if it is still valid or not.

• Consider putting a family member on the car title.

• Identify any collectibles so they don’t end up in the garage sale.

• Leave a list of passwords, safe combinations, where extra keys are, etc.

For those of you who have a trust-based estate plan, make sure everything you wish to pass correctly is either titled in the name of

your trust or lists the trust or individuals as beneficiary.

Then spend as much quality time with your loved ones as you can. You can create a legacy of family values just by sharing stories and time together. These will be the most precious things you leave behind.

and praise go right to our head, and we forget our humility.

Conversely, when things are tough and going bad, we could become susceptible to blaming others, events beyond our control, and conditions for our loss. We hate losing so much that our humbleness goes out the window and the finger-pointing begins.

The humble winner knows that we win together, and we lose together. The humble winner remembers the hard work and the journey not just the victory.

The humble winner leads their team during the setbacks and slumps and instills confidence as the team or company climbs back to the top. The humble winner makes sure that others who deserve credit are duly compensated and rewarded

along the way.

Humbleness is like gratitude in a way. The more we show gratitude for what we already have and who we have in our lives, typically we will have more to be grateful for. Well the more we weave a humble nature into our winning and leading, the more we will win, and we will build a loyal following of people who want to work with us or become a part of our team.

Exciting entertainment and outrageous events are awesome and fun. And they become even more incredible when the team, people, or person receive their trophy, their award, or their commission with confidence and humbleness. Confident humbleness is indeed a character trait is appreciated by most, and a trait that comes more easily to some, and for others takes a bit of practice and effort.

In today’s “me first” society, the race for “likes” and “followers,” the humble winner and the

humble leader have learned that it’s “we first,” a race that we run together, and that their followers and fans are the encouragers who inspire them to greatness.

So how about you? When you win or lose, do you accept both humbly? If so, congratulations as I am confident that you are probably winning more than you are losing.

If you are reading this and thinking you might need to work on your confident humbleness, just change your focus from “me” to “we” and watch as even more people rally around you. I would love to hear your humble story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we walk humbly, talk humbly, and practice confident humbleness, it really will be a better than good week.

Fourth of July, the Colorado way Where to go to celebrate Independence Day

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

he day before the Continental Congress’ adoption of the Declaration of Independence, John Adams wrote a letter to his wife on July 3, 1776 about how he hoped succeeding generations would celebrate Independence Day. “It ought to be commemorated as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty,” the letter, on the Massachusetts Historical Society’s website, reads.

“It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”

Adams might be proud to see how the Denver metro area is following through on his exhortation, with fireworks lighting up the sky, sporting events, kid festivities and more.

Here is your guide to finding the perfect way to celebrate the Fourth of July. Unless otherwise mentioned, all festivities take place July 4.

4th of July Festival & Fireworks in Englewood Where: Cornerstone Park at 5150 S. Windermere St. and Belleview Park at 5001 S. Inca Drive When: The festival begins at 3 p.m.; fireworks start at 9:30 p.m. Fireworks are visible from both parks, and the

Theme of college journal leaves room for creativity Progenitor for 2019 is available at two locations on campus

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In spring semester, Arapahoe Community College students with an inclination toward writing, graphics and publishing enroll in English 231, where they learn much by compiling, designing and publishing the new issue of Progenitor, a classy, awardwinning art/ literary journal, issued annually.

“Progenitor,” a noun, is defined on the first page as “a person that originates a cultural or intellectual movement; a biologically ancestral form.”

Copies of the 2019 issue are free and can be found at Colorado Gallery of the Arts and in the college library, both on the main ACC campus at 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton.

Nine students and three faculty members created the 2019 edition from a large number of submissions received from writers who ranged from current ACC students to writers from the local area and across the nation — to an Australian poet and teacher in Queensland.

Students read submissions and selected the variety of art, nonfiction, poetry and fiction that appear within the sophisticated photographic cover

PROGENITOR SUBMISSIONS Submissions to the Progenitor are accepted from published and unpublished writers, students and the writing community through the Submittable online submissions manager, between Oct. 1 and Feb. 15.

by Addison Van De Walker. It depicts a theatre marquee, with bright neon lights and traffic speeding by.

An introductory statement by editor Mary Innerst says: “This year’s theme of `Theatre’ evolved from a visual subject in the early stages of the design phase into our literary theme for the entire issue. This gave us a wide umbrella to work under. We were able to capture a broad array of experiences, identities, themes and forms and to explore the plethora of work we received on quality, free from a restricting theme ... All the world’s a stage and together, we are the cast who performs upon it …”

Thirty-six entries were selected for publication and the project was wrangled by Jamey Trotter of the English Department, John Hall of the Graphic Design program and Trish Sangelo, a photographer/teacher who directs the Colorado Gallery of the Arts.

Trotter wrote a touching dedication to retired English professor Chris Ransick, who led the Progenitor project for a number of earlier years and also served as Denver’s poet laureate.

Each year, ACC holds a literary

Cover design for the 2019 “Progenitor,” published for a 54th year by Arapahoe Community College.

COURTESY PHOTO contest and both the nonfiction and fiction sections are led by a recent winner.

In nonfiction, the reader finds Renata Dolz’s “In a Teacher’s Shoes,” an account of her hectic day as a substitute teacher at Denver’s Dora Moore School, with a cumulative picture of the students she meets … “Could I handle that situation with the grace

and sympathy she did?” one wonders.

It won in the literary contest at ACC. “El Gato” by Kate Niles of Durango, also a winner, tells of a sickly, hungry neighborhood cat, whose owner is in the hospital … It also tells of a neighborhood and some of the folks who live on the block and their interactions — a particularly nice piece and tied well into the theatre theme of the issue. Players of all sorts live in a neighborhood “known to real estate salespeople as Tupperware Flats.”

Illustrations include nicely designed/composed art photographs such as Holly Giannaula’s glowing “Busy,” a backlit speckled flower with a very busy bee, and Gillian Davenport’s mysterious portrait study, “Divine Maternal.” Who is that woman, anyway??? (Another story needed!)

Funding for Progenitor is provided by the English Department at ACC and presumably a copy has begun its journey into the annual awards circuit by now. We will await news with interest — this is probably the most handsome issue of the journal yet!

Readers are advised to stop by the Littleton campus to pick one up.

Tour de Cure raises money, awareness for diabetes Sept. 7 event designed for all levels of cyclists, runners and walkers STAFF REPORT

Runners, walkers and riders of all levels can help in the fight against diabetes in September by participating in the Tour de Cure, a fitness and community fundraising event presented by the American Diabetes Association.

Every 21 seconds, someone in the United States is diagnosed with diabetes, according to a news release. In addition, nearly half of American adults have either diabetes or prediabetes, which puts them at risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, the release said.

People with diabetes are at significant risk for serious complications including kidney failure, heart disease, stroke, blindness and lower-limb amputations, the release said.

The American Diabetes Association’s premier fundraising event, this year’s Tour de Cure is Sept. 7 at

Salisbury Park in Parker. The tour is designed for participants of all fitness levels, with 10-mile routes for the occasional cyclist to 100-mile century rides for experienced cyclists, and a 5k run or walk. Routes feature rest stops with food to fuel the journey and volunteers to cheer riders along the way.

Participants who have diabetes get VIP treatment. More than 30,680 participants and volunteers from across the country participate in tour events each year.

“Tour de Cure is more than just a ride, walk or run — it is a celebration of the ADA’s mission and a chance to raise critical funds to help fight diabetes,” Lindsay Phelan, the association’s associate director of development, said in the release. “Every mile covered and every dollar raised brings us that much more support in fighting this disease that affects 400,000 people in Colorado. The prevalence of diabetes is growing each year, and action is absolutely necessary to help us bend the curve on this epidemic.”

To register, go to www.diabetes.org/ coloradotourdecure or call 720-8551102.

Cost: $25/child Ages 3 – 6th Grade Register now for the best week of summer! Kids will have a ROARrific time with new friends, amazing experiments, creative games, super-fun snacks, surprising adventures, and incredible music.

Vietnam memorial exhibit will ‘heal wounds’ of war Traveling replica to stop in Arvada as only Colorado location

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As a veteran of the Vietnam War, Jim Topkoff has met many who, after serving in the war, “don’t want anything to do with it.”

“There are thousands who just felt so neglected and unappreciated when they came back,” said Topkoff, who served in the Navy from 1962 to 1966.

That’s why, for him, the Wall that Heals is so important: “It’s an opportunity to be a part of the wall and start to heal those wounds.”

The Wall that Heals — a threequarter-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. — will come to Arvada’s Faith Bible Chapel from June 20-23. Sevenand-a-half feet tall, 375 feet wide and inscribed with the names of more than 58,000 service members who died in the war, the exhibit is free to the public and open 24 hours a day.

Created in 1996, the wall will go up in Arvada, its only Colorado

VISIT THE MEMORIAL The Wall that Heals, a traveling memorial for Vietnam War veterans, comes to Arvada’s Faith Bible Chapel, 6250 Wright St., on June 18.

The public is invited to welcome the wall as police and motorcyclists escort the exhibit into the city. The escort will arrive at Ward Rod and 63rd Avenue at roughly 2:30 p.m. on June 18.

Volunteers will set up the wall on June 19 and the exhibit will officially open on June 20.

For more information, visit https://www. vvmf.org/The-Wall-That-Heals/. stop, as one of 33 locations selected for the 2019 national tour after the local Vietnam Veterans of America chapter, chapter 1071, applied for the opportunity.

ARAPAHOE COUNTY

CONVERSATIONS Planning our future together

The Wall that Heals, a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, while on display in Oskaloosa, Iowa.

COURTESY PHOTO

Arapahoe County needs your input Arapahoe County is one of the fastest growing counties in Colorado. And why wouldn’t it be? Our cities and communities feature some of the best quality of life our state has to offer.

But accommodating that success, and the growth it brings with it, requires careful analysis of our current situation and a focus on what’s best for all our residents going forward. It means planning our future together.

OUR PRIORITIES

DID YOU KNOW? In recent surveys, county residents listed solving traffic congestion as their number one priority is for the county.

Do you agree? Let us know at Together@arapahoegov.com.

We know that mental health, substance abuse, workforce training and other programs are the best way to help offenders lead a more productive life when they get out of the Arapahoe County jail. But the current facility isn’t up to the task.

Today, about 450 inmates each day are experiencing a mental health issue. That’s 64 more inmates than the entire jail was built to house decades ago.

MEMORIAL FROM PAGE 16

Volunteers running the exhibit have gone above and beyond to prepare, he said, with some, including chapter board member Topkoff, visiting the wall when it was up in other states.

“They have gone out of their way to make sure they do this right,” Tetz said.

A police escort, expected to include more than 100 motorcyclists, will lead the wall into town on June 18, traveling eastward on 64th Avenue before turning right on Ward Road and right on 63rd Avenue. City and church representatives will hand out flags to those standing at 63rd and Ward to welcome the exhibit.

Twenty-five volunteers will set up June 19 at the church, 6250 Wright St., with a soft opening taking place at 6

p.m. The official opening takes place June 20 at 6 p.m., and the exhibit will stay in Arvada until 5 p.m. on June 23.

“It’s just absolutely breathtaking,” Topkoff said, adding the wall looks particularly beautiful at night when illuminated by LED lights.

Additionally, visitors can view objects that individuals have left behind at the wall in D.C. while the exhibit is in town.

“Anyone is more than welcome to participate,” Topkoff said. “It’s a time to reflect and remember those fallen soldiers.”

Tetz echoed that sentiment, encouraging anyone — veterans, family members, those who have seen the D.C. wall and those who haven’t — to visit.

“This wall is special because of how closely it resembles the wall in D.C., and because it’s in your community,” he said. “You will be blown away by how beautiful it is.”

Family Tree asks the community to count its comforts Nonprofit seeks donations through its #CountYourComforts challenge

HOW TO HELP Each year, Family Tree helps more than 8,000 people with child and youth services, domestic violence services and housing and stabilization services. To make a donation, visit www.thefamilytree.org/Comforts and use the #CountYourComforts hashtag on social media platforms.

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rich Karlis had just wrapped up his second season as a kicker for the Denver Broncos, and he was trying to figure out what to do with his free time. When he learned about Family Tree — a nonprofit headquartered in Jefferson County that works with people affected by child abuse, domestic violence and homelessness — he had his answer.

“I was fortunate enough to meet some really special people at Family Tree and quickly discovered where I can use the visibility of the Denver Broncos to raise awareness around domestic violence and child abuse,” said Karlis, who played for the Broncos for seven years until after the 1988 season.

During his 1984 season, Karlis’s field goals meant more than just points for his team: For every successsful field goal, he made a donation to Family Tree.

Now, Karlis and Family Tree are asking the community to support the

Mary Adams, a former homeless woman who received services from Family Tree. JOSEPH RIOS nonprofit through the #CountYourComforts challenge.

Family Tree is challenging the community to recognize comforts through the hashtag, make a small donation and challenge five others to do the same. Comforts can be little things from being able to turn on a light to

having a vehicle to drive — things that some of Family Tree’s clients can’t do.

The #CountYourComforts campaign is meant to show that those impacted by child abuse, domestic violence and homelessness don’t have comforts that are basic needs.

“When you count your comforts

you’re helping start a conversation about the need for Family Tree’s services, which is imperative to our work,” said Scott Shields, Family Tree’s chief executive officer. “We know our community cares about the issues we address, and by asking people to acknowledge their comforts, we will create a new campaign regarding the urgency to confront these challenges.”

Aurora resident Mary Adams credits Family Tree with helping her get back on her feet.

In 2006, she had a stable job, but a major stroke upended her life.

Adams lost her job, didn’t have any savings and gained custody of her three granddaughters. She sought help at Family Tree’s House of Hope, a shelter for women and children in Englewood, and was able to get a job that she still has to this day.

“I didn’t know what we were going to do, but I knew failure wasn’t an option,” Adams said. “The House of Hope was a lifesaver for the girls and I.”

He did not say how Verizon plans to change its offerings for landline customers, who today can sign up for a third-party blocking service.

BY TALI ARBEL AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER

Federal regulators voted June 6 to give phone companies the right to block unwanted calls without getting customers’ permission first.

The Federal Communications Commission’s move could make call-blocking widespread and help consumers dodge annoying robocalls, which have exploded into a problem that pesters Americans on the level of billions of calls a month. One caveat: Phone companies don’t actually have to do anything, and they could start charging you if they do — just as they now charge for some caller ID features and other extras.

The FCC expects phone companies to offer these tools for free, but it doesn’t require them to.

The rise in debt collectors, telemarketers and, most worrisome, fraudsters ringing up consumers’ phones have led the FCC and Congress to push phone companies to do more. The companies have been slow to act against such automated calls on their own.

Robocalls have increased as cheap software makes it easy to make mass calls. Scammers don’t care if you’ve added your number to the government’s Do Not Call list, and enforcement is negligible. There ,are 5 billion per month in the U.S., according to call-blocker YouMail.

That works out to 14 calls per person.

The June 6 FCC vote could potentially be a powerful counter against unwanted calls. While call-blocking apps already exist, you have to turn them on or ask for them. Now, along with clarifying that both wireless and landline companies can block unwanted calls without asking customers first, the FCC said that wireless carriers are also allowed to block all callers who aren’t on a customer’s contact list. You would have to request that from your phone company.

On the flip side, the measure might inadvertently lead to block-

It is a constant backand-forth.’

There’s no hard government deadline, but Pai has threatened regulatory action if it doesn’t happen this year. The June 6 vote took procedural steps to make it easier to enforce that threat against major phone companies. The Senate, with near-unanimous support, passed a bill in May that would give phone companies an 18-month deadline to put this anti-spoof system, called Stir/Shaken, in place, as well as give regulators more tools to go after scammers. But it’s not clear how the bill will fare in the Democrat-controlled House, which has several anti-robocall proposals that go further.

Whatever happens, determined scammers and telemarketers will likely find ways to get through, just as malware on personal computers is still a problem despite antivirus software. Automated callers could circumvent new safety measures by buying real numbers and using those to call you. They could hack into businesses and hijack the phone lines, then use those to call out.

T-Mobile said it has already seen that happen.

“We get things working really well. We’re flagging all these calls as scams. And then the scammers find a new way,” said Grant Castle, vice president of engineering at T-Mobile. “We have to adjust. It is a constant back-and-forth.”

The Bible Speaks – suffering Why do people suffer? Why do they lose their homes to floods, their loved ones to shooters, their health to disease and their fortunes to charlatans? Just how are we to deal with such suffering?

We suffer because we live in a sin contaminated world. But suffering should teach us some things. When we suffer we learn to depend on God’s grace (2 Cor 12:9), to commit ourselves to God’s care (1 Pet 4:19), to persevere (Rom 5:3), to have sympathy for others who suffer (2 Cor 1:4) & to develop patience (James 1:3). We learn that Christ suffered in life as an example for us to follow (1 Pet 2:21). We learn that He suffered in death on the cross to make us righteous (1 Pet 3:18).

God help us to accept suffering from this divine perspective. hfsmail@basicisp.net

‘Opponents fear and respect her’ Audrey Weiss is taking her skills to Notre Dame

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arapahoe High School soccer player Audrey Weiss is one of those players who can never move around much without being marked by an opponent or two.

She always seemed to make things happen for the Warriors during her senior season and managed the team’s lone goal in a 2-1 loss to Grandview in the Class 5A state championship game in May. Weiss, who is headed to play at Notre Dame, is the 2019 Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

“Audrey is incredibly talented,” said Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire. “It has been clear that opponents fear and respect her.

“She recovered from ACL surgery her freshman year, came back in the state championship game her sophomore year and then back against in 2019. She has the ability to beat players one on one, serve and the whole package.

Audrey Weiss of Arapahoe is Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

‘She is an incredible athlete’ Katie Collins shows prowess both on offense and defense

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Katie Collins was hard to keep off the lacrosse field.

The Cherry Creek senior was a midfielder who was a standout on both offense and defense.

She was named the 2019 Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Lacrosse Player of the Year.

“She was our only two-way midfielder,” said Creek coach Bailey Zerr. “She is an incredible athlete and is super speedy. She will be a Division I college player at Oregon, which says a lot.”

Collins, who was the US Lacrosse Magazine’s Player of the Month for April for the west section after collecting 16 goals and three assists in the Bruins’ first four games, finished the season with 55 goals and six assists for 61 points.

She was credited with 69 ground balls and helped Creek post a 17-2 SEE COLLINS, P27

College baseball opening doors for Colorado athletes

I

t’s been slow — like an off-speed changeup — for people to realize, but big-time college baseball is no longer a long shot for players who participate in Colorado high school baseball.

Arkansas sophomore catcher Casey Opitz, who played at Heritage High School in Littleton, made his second straight trip last weekend to Omaha, Nebraska for the 2019 College World Series.

“Absolutely, Colorado has college baseball players,” said Opitz.

“Talent comes from all over. You have OVERTIME to work hard for it.

They will find you, that’s their job.

“You have to put in the effort.

Depending on how you play, a big school will find you. If they don’t find you right away, Jim Benton you can go to a smaller school and they will find you there. No matter where you are from, they will find you.”

Casey Opitz’s older brother Jeff, manager of the Colorado Rockies’ Grand Junction Rookie League team who played for Nebraska as a freshman in the 2005 College World Series, agrees that Colorado does produce Division I baseball players.

“I’ve said that for years,” said Jeff Opitz. “There is a lot of good talent in Colorado, a lot of good homegrown talent. There are always some elite players.”

Casey Opitz was one of three former area high school players on rosters of College World Series teams.

Matthew Schmitz, a senior at Michigan who transferred from Cypress College, is a reserve first baseman who played in 14 games this season and hit .167 for the Wolverines. He is a former Regis Jesuit player who resides in Parker.

Tanner O’Tremba, a freshman who played at Cherry Creek, is a Texas Tech outfielder who played in 31 games prior to the World Series and hit .267 with 20 runs batted in.

He delivered a key double in an 8-6 Super Regional win over Oklahoma State on June 9 and had seven RBIs in an early-season game against Kentucky.

BENTON FROM PAGE 26

Casey Opitz, who played in 19 games as a freshman, is the Razorbacks’ No. 1 catcher this season and has been a solid leader for the pitching staff.

He caught a Southeast Conference-leading 21 base runners attempting to steal.

He headed to Omaha with a .246 batting average after going 4-for9 with five RBIs in three games against Ole Miss in the Super Regional.

A few of the adjustments from high school to college baseball included stronger, faster players and more games.

“You really have to be able to take care of yourself — it’s such a long season,” said Casey Opitz.

“The first adjustment is how much baseball you play on a daily basis. I wouldn’t call it a job, it’s still fun.

“This year figuring out what works for me and what I need to work on was an improvement. It was easier on the catching part to come in and work with guys and figure out what I can do for them.

“It is unbelievable to be a part

n

of some of the best teams in college baseball at the College World Series. It is great to have a bunch of family out here and it’s cool to come back here to see all them and play in front of them again.”

Time to celebrate Golden High School graduate Lindsay Horan scored in the 32nd minute and Mallory Pugh who played at Mountain Vista tallied in the 85th minute in the USA women’s soccer team’s record-breaking 13-0 World Cup win over Thailand on June 11.

However, most of the attention was centered on celebrations by the Americans after each goal in the rout, which has coach Jill Ellis defending her players.

I’m the first to admit I don’t like to see exaggerated celebrations after touchdowns, home runs, goals, winning 50-foot putts or whatever. Celebrate but don’t make it a jamboree.

However, the social media criticism directed at the American women is undeserved.

First of all, this was a World Cup match in the ultimate international tournament and goals should be celebrated. Plus, there is the goal differential, which is so important and a reason why teams can’t afford to let up on any opponent.

I have watched many tournaments in the past few years where that one additional goal during the second match would have made a difference in advancing.

What should be noted are the actions by the Americans toward the disappointed Thai players after the match.

Thai coach Nuengruethai Sathongwien thanked the Americans who encouraged her overmatched players to keep fighting and keep their heads up.

Soccer Hall of Famer Whitney (Hollis) Longmeir, a Highlands Ranch resident and graduate of Columbine High School, was one of five members of the 1996-99 women’s soccer team who were inducted into the Santa Clara University Hall of Fame.

Longmeir, a midfielder who had 15 goals and 11 assists in the 87 career games in which she played, was a member of teams that went 89-9-4 and outscored their opponents 10898 in four seasons.

“I’m excited to see how she does at Notre Dame.”

In five playoff games, Weiss had four goals and two assists and had at least one point in all 19 games she played during the season.

She finished the season with 19 goals and nine assists for 47 points, had three game-winning goals and averaged 3.2 shots and 2.5 points a game.

record and finish second in the girls state lacrosse championships.

“She was a huge part of our attack against tough defenders,” added Zerr. “And absolutely she could play defense. She was on the draw circle and got a lot of ground balls.”

Collins scored in every game this season and had six in one game against Dakota Ridge. She ended her career with a 38-game scoring streak. The last game she didn’t get a goal came on May 24, 2017 in an 8-5 loss to Colorado Academy.

In three seasons on the Bruins’ varsity, Collins had 147 goals, 19 assists and 166 points and a .590 shooting percentage.

Days of pay The final potential ballot measure discussed was upping the mandated severance package for city managers, which is currently one month’s pay.

Brinkman said she’d like to see the severance package brought in line with other cities that offer more.

“Mark (Relph) won’t be the city manager forever,” Brinkman said. “We want the best and the brightest — the highest level of talent. You don’t want them to get stolen because they offer two months’ better severance in some other town than we do.”

None of the proposed ballot measures are certain to wind up before voters, Brinkman said, and all require more study.

“Not all these are ready for 2019,” Brinkman said, “but it’s time to get conversations going.”
