By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com The United Healthcare cycling team made a local 7-year-old boy an honorary professional cyclist for a day at the Littleton Twilight Criterium on Aug. 6.

Ethan Plumb, a student at Colorow Elementary School in south Jefferson County, is also the recipient of a grant from UHC Children’s Foundation that helps pay for a speech therapist that is not fully covered by his parents’ insurance, said his father, Allen Plumb, hopefully making his speech issues a short-term problem rather than a lifelong issue.

A parolee suspected in a pair of daytime, gunpoint carjackings in Littleton and another in Aurora is being held at the Arapahoe County jail on $250,000 bond.

Tremaine Dwayne Speer, who made his first court appearance Aug. 4, faces charges of aggravated robbery, possession of a weapon by a felon, menacing a victim with a deadly weapon and motor vehicle theft.

Speer, 32, was arrested at 11:20 p.m.

Aug. 2 in Denver near 30th Avenue and Fox Street. His last known address was in Aurora and he was recently released from prison on parole stemming from a 2004 robbery conviction.

Littleton Police Department spokesman Cmdr. Trent Cooper said the crimes are not common for Littleton.

“The crimes that occurred here are unusual for our community and really did put our community on edge,” he said.

The first Littleton 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 being struck by the suspect.

According to prosecutors, Speer backhanded the victim and threw her to the ground.

Similarly to the first incident, the suspect approached while she was in the parking lot of Littleton Museum in the

DAWN PUCKETT About me My husband and I sell emergency supplies at Rapid Fire Bunker in downtown Littleton. We sell things like food and firstaid supplies and water-filtration systems.

We also sell guns on consignment.

in the mountains here in Colorado. Our birthdays are close together and we usually go somewhere tropical. We’ve been on islands in the middle of hurricanes.

We’ve learned a lot from people on small islands during natural disasters. We also go backpacking, we climb 14ers, we’re very, very active. With that, comes a necessity for supplies. If we get stuck up on a mountain in a big storm, we’re going to be able to survive through it. Our late friend and third partner, George Dorry, was our inspiration to start the store. When he was dying of cancer, he spent his last year putting survival kits together for his loved ones.

What did you do before opening the store?

I am a financial analyst. Steve is in information technology. We worked really hard in our industries, and played hard, and found that we needed items like this when we travel.

Our travels We have been to Vietnam, we have been to the Dominican Republic. That was about a year after the big earthquake they had there and Haiti. They were still digging out when they were there. Those are my two favorites. We’ve gone on treks in Greece, we’ve gone all over the Caribbean.

Wooden cars delight Nicaraguan children Toys built by local resident and organization

Children crowd around Casa Unida Foundation members Bob Moore Jr., left, and Mercedes Espinoza as they hand out Toys for God’s Kids wooden cars to children of poor families in the northern Nicaraguan rural village of Brother Martinez. The foundation team was in Nicaragua on another project and took time to distribute the toys to about 100 children. Photo by Tom Munds

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Wooden cars created in Centennial resident Bob Wing’s basement workshop and cars made by other Toys for God’s Kids volunteers produced ear-to-ear smiles as they were placed in the hands of children in a small village in northern Nicaragua.

The toys were delivered by a team from Casa Unida Foundation, an all-volunteer organization based in Lakewood. In Nicaragua, the team stayed in the city of Somoto and traveled about 15 miles to Hermanos Martinez, a rural village that is home to 40 to 60 families of subsistence farmers, to distribute the toys during a children’s July 29 vacation Bible school gathering.

“These families are very poor. They work their fields for food to feed the family and, when they do find work outside the village, the wage is $2.50 a day,” Bob Moore, foundation president, said. “The children have few, if any, toys. We knew the wooden cars would be a hit. We were right. The children’s smiles lit up the room as they hugged the toys and got down on the floor to play with them.”

Lidia Lopez, 8, smiled as she and a friend raced their cars along the floor.

“I love my little car,” she said through an interpreter. “It is a lot of fun to play with. I have never had a little toy car of my own before. I really like it.”

Again through an interpreter, Juan Questros, the leader of the gathering and a local pastor, thanked those who made the toys and those who brought them to the village. He said it is a blessing for the village and a wonderful gift for the children.

The delivery of the wooden cars is

TH CENTER

another chapter in the history of Toys for God’s Kids.

The toy car project Marlin Dorhut, of Denver, began when he saw the joy wooden cars brought children of poor families in late 2000. He was moved to establish Toys for God’s Kids.

Today, hundreds of volunteers build the cars and distribute them to children in about 140 countries, including Mexico, South Korea and Iraq.

The original pattern was for toy cars

about 6 inches long. But Wing, who worked on state-of-the-art equipment at IBM, his neighbor Jerry Corbo, a retired rocket scientist, and Corbo’s wife, Leonora, are among the volunteer “smilemakers” producing “pocket cars” that are only a couple inches long.

Wing and Corbo gave members of the Casa Unida Foundation a bag of their cars when they learned the foundation was preparing for their trip to Nicaragua.

Moore also was given a box of the full-

size cars to distribute on the Nicaraguan trip. Foundation volunteers handed a car to each child. The little cars produced squeals and giggles when received. The bigger children preferred the larger cars.

“It was fun handing out the cars,” said Bob Moore Jr., a foundation member and Bob Moore’s son. “The children really liked the cars, and definitely the rewards we received were the sparkle in their eyes and the smiles on their faces as they were handed a toy car.”

‘Decorate the grave of someone’ different from you Highlands Ranch man responds to Trump’s rhetoric against Muslim-American family whose son died as a U.S. soldier

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mike Sexton created a Facebook group called “Honor the Fallen” early last week.

On it he invited people to Fort Logan National Cemetery on Aug. 7 to decorate the graves of Muslim-Americans who served in the military.

He only expected that he and his wife would show up.

But by 10 a.m., about 20 people had congregated at the entrance of the Denver cemetery, carrying bundles of red and pink roses and holding American flags.

“I’m flabbergasted,” said Sexton, a Highlands Ranch resident. “People just came together as Americans — complete strangers from all different walks of life.”

Sexton’s idea for the Aug. 7 gathering took root when Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump criticized the parents of Capt. Humayun Khan, a Muslim-American soldier killed in 2004 during the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Khan’s father, Khizr, who immigrated with his wife, Ghazala, from the United Arab Emirates in 1980, delivered a speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention that talked about the U.S. Constitution and Trump’s views of Muslims and other minorities. The Khans’ three sons were raised in Maryland.

“We were blessed to raise our three sons in a nation where they were free to be themselves and follow their dreams,” Khizr Khan said. “Our son, Humayun, had dreams of being a military lawyer. But he put those dreams aside the day he sacrificed his life to save his fellow soldiers.”

Khizr Khan also directed parts of his speech at Trump.

“You have sacrificed nothing and no one,” he said.

Trump responded with public criticism against the Khan family, which prompted Sexton to take action.

Sexton, a computer programmer, doesn’t have a military background, but his brother is an active duty colonel in the Army and his father served in the Navy.

He’s not Muslim, but through work he’s had many Muslim colleagues and friends, he said.

He organized “Honor the Fallen” to show support for the Khan family, members of the military and Muslim-American service men and women, he wrote on his Facebook page.

But he also encouraged guests to honor a grave of someone different than them, whether it be race, ethnicity or religion.

“If you are a Christian, place the flag on the grave of a Jewish vet,” he wrote, “If you are white, find the grave of an AfricanAmerican or Latino vet and place a flag there. The important part is that we honor our fellow Americans when we can.”

Sexton’s event hit close to home for Ahmad Ghais. The Arvada resident held a framed photograph close to his chest at Fort Logan Cemetery on Sunday morning.

The photo was of his younger brother, Taher, a Muslim-American soldier who died in the Vietnam War in 1968.

He was 24 years old at the time.

Ahmad Ghais holds a photo of his brother, Taher, who died while fighting in the Vietnam War at 24 years old. “I was utterly surprised,” he said of the event at Fort Logan National Cemetery on Aug. 7. “I certainly wanted to take part.” Photos by Alex DeWind

WHERE IS FORT LOGAN CEMETERY? Fort Logan National Cemetery is located at 4400 W. Kenyon Ave., two blocks south of Hampden Avenue on the east side of Sheridan Boulevard.

Burial in the cemetery is open to all members of the armed forces who have met a minimum active duty service requirement and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, according to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.

Suzette Cowles, of Arvada, sets a blue stone on a tombstone that has a Christian symbol of a cup with an X in the middle. “I’m not sure what this is,” she said of the symbol, “but it’s different.”

HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE Mike Sexton’s ”Honor the Fallen” Facebook page: http://bit.ly/2bcP0us

Ghais, 78, said he was surprised when he saw Sexton’s event on the news and he “certainly wanted to take part.”

He’s personally offended, he said, by

recent rhetoric against Muslim-Americans.

“This is not the country we signed up for,” he said with tears in his eyes. “Have we forgotten the value?”

Jill and Samuel Jenkins, an AfricanAmerican couple from southeast Aurora, wore patriotic T-shirts and carried colorful flowers.

Samuel’s parents and Jill’s father are buried at Fort Logan.

The bottom line, Jill said, is that everyone in the cemetery is a hero — no matter what race, color or religion.

“We have to remember these people fought for our freedom and they should

Natural fresh-cut flowers may be placed on graves at any time of the year. Artificial flowers are allowed on graves from Oct. 10 through April 15, and 10 days before through 10 days after Easter Sunday and Memorial Day. Christmas wreaths, grave blankets and other seasonal adornments may be placed on graves from Dec. 1 through Jan. 20.

Permanent plantings, statues, vigil lights, breakable objects and similar items are not permitted on the graves.

Source: U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs never be forgotten,” she said.

Sexton plans to organize an “Honor the Fallen” day at Fort Logan National Cemetery once every couple of weeks. He will post updates on his Facebook page.

His message to fellow Americans: “Find a military cemetery — it doesn’t have to be Fort Logan — and decorate the grave of someone with a different background than you,” he said. “It’s something simple — anyone can do it.”

Coffman ad aims for distance from Trump Challenger for U.S. House seat compares incumbent to presidential candidate

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, has become the first House Republican to expressly distance himself from Donald Trump in a campaign ad.

Coffman — who is seeking a fifth term representing the 6th Congressional District — faces a competitive challenge in Colorado’s most ethnically diverse congressional seat. His opponent, former state Senate President Morgan Carroll, a Democrat from Aurora, repeatedly compares him to Trump.

Coffman starts a new, 30-second television ad talking about his party’s presidential nominee. Coffman looks at the camera and says he’s always asked about Trump and then says, “Honestly, I don’t care for him much.’’

Coffman promises that if Trump is elected, “I’ll stand up to him.’’

Coffman adds that he would also stand up to Hillary Clinton. “I certainly don’t trust Hillary,’’ Coffman says. “If Hillary wins, I’ll hold her accountable every step of the way.’’

A spokeswoman for Coffman says the campaign spent about $50,000 for cable and digital ads.

Coffman also plans to release the ad in Spanish. The district is about 20 percent

Latino. Two years ago, Coffman debated his Democratic opponent in Spanish, the first Spanish congressional debate between two non-native speakers.

The 6th Congressional District — which includes Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Littleton and portions of Adams County, among other areas — has been in Republican hands since its creation after the 1980 Census. But population change and changes Coffman to district boundaries after the 2010 Census have made the seat more competitive for Democrats, who consider the race their best chance this year to pick up a Congressional seat in Colorado.

Carroll, says Coffman is in many ways like Trump.

Carroll Her spokesman pointed out that Trump has not said he won’t vote for Trump, making the ad “political double-speak.’’

“If he wasn’t going to vote for this bully, he would have already said so,’’ Drew Godinich said.

But Coffman met recently with Libertarian vice presidential candidate William Weld, and his spokeswoman said Coffman has not decided which presidential candidate to support.

Wife says suspected killer ‘just snapped’ Recordings of victim interviews are played at hearing for Kevin Lyons, who is accused of killing Centennial doctor

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com The wife of a Centennial man suspected in the murder of a local doctor told investigators he had been acting erratically in the days before the April 4 shooting.

“My husband just snapped,” Elizabeth Lyons said in a recorded interview at a hospital hours after the shooting.

A judge heard that interview and others in an 18th Judicial District courtroom in Centennial on Aug. 5 before finding probable cause for Kevin Lyons, 46, to stand trial.

He is accused of killing Kenneth Atkinson, a well-known doctor who lived next door to the Lyonses in the Homestead Farm II subdivision, and shooting Elizabeth Lyons and neighbor Laurie Juergens. Investigators say he also shot at two other neighbors and the first two police officers who responded to the scene.

Kevin Lyons was denied bond at the hearing as Judge Carlos Smour Jr. found Lyons there is significant evidence that he committed the capital offense of first-degree murder for killing Atkinson.

In addition to the murder charge, Kevin Lyons faces charges of the attempted murder of Elizabeth Lyons, Juergens, neighbors Lesa McKenzie and Craig Johnson, and Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office deputies Tim Klisnick and Frank Morgan.

Elizabeth Lyons told a sheriff’s office Atkinson investigator that on the day of the shooting, her husband had been angered by her suggestion that he go to a hospital for mental health issues, and he came upstairs from their basement with a gun. He told her to leave and began firing as she ran toward Juergens’ house, across the street, where a neighbor was gardening in the front yard.

The court also heard recordings of 911 calls from the scene the afternoon of April 4, including one in which Atkinson tells the dispatcher he had been shot and says the shooter is coming at him again.

“He’s coming at me right now with a gun,” he said in the call.

Atkinson was found alongside a Chevrolet Suburban in Juergens’ driveway.

Elizabeth Lyons was found bleeding on Juergens’

porch. Juergens suffered a gunshot wound to her face and first hid in a window well before making her way to her backyard and into her house.

Atkinson, who witnesses said came outside to help the shooting victims, was shot in the leg, arm, torso and head.

Klisnick testified that he and Morgan were the first officers on scene and were told that the shooter was back behind the Lyonses’ house. Klisnick said approximately four shots were fired at them as they went around the side of the house. They took cover, and the shooter surrendered soon after.

Klisnick identified Kevin Lyons, who was sitting at the defense table in a red Arapahoe County jail uniform next to his public defenders, as the shooter.

“I see the defendant looking directly at me, pointing a handgun at me, shooting multiple rounds, trying to kill me,” he said.

Body camera footage of a deputy who arrived at the scene just behind Klisnick and Morgan captured the moments in which Kevin Lyons was arrested. Four gunshots can be heard in the video as well.

Deputies and investigators testified that Kevin Lyons chanted, prayed out loud and spoke in nonsensical terms about the Bible both at the scene and in an interview room at department headquarters later, and that witnesses had told them that he sang and yelled about the bible during the shooting and referred to his wife as “the devil.”

Craig Johnson’s description of the account painted a picture of a methodical shooter, rather than an erratic one, telling investigators that Kevin Lyons was holding a handgun with both hands and looked as if he was shooting at a firing range.

Johnson, who lives across the street from the Lyonses, said in an interview with an investigator that he heard shooting and went outside, where he saw Kevin Lyons shooting at the Juergenses’ house.

Defense attorneys made an argument to not find probable cause for the charge of attempted murder of McKenzie, who did not initially tell investigators that Kevin Lyons had shot at her. She later told investigator Jeff Hines that he had. The defense did not call any witnesses in the hearing.

In June, Samour ruled that Kevin Lyons is competent to stand trial following an evaluation at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo.

Lyons has not entered a plea. District Attorney George Brauchler said in June the finding that Lyons is competent to stand trial does not eliminate the possibility of a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.

An arraignment — at which a plea is expected — has been set for Sept. 23.

VOICES

LOCAL

Aim for perfection with accurate reflection Growing up near the beach I spent lots of time at the local boardwalk. Memories of the arcades, rides, games, pizza, ice cream and candy apples still bring me back to a very special place and time in my life. And one of my favorite things to do was to watch myself and others pose in front of one of the carnival mirrors or funhouse mirrors.

You know the kind I am talking about, right? Those mirrors that distort the image or reflection of ourselves as we walk by. There are even apps we can get now that take distorting our images on our phones or devices to a whole new level. We look at our reflections and we may see ourselves as short or tall, fat or skinny, stretched or compressed. Sometimes we just see our faces become distorted or twisted as we try and make a really funny face or scary face.

So what happens when it’s not a funhouse mirror or distorting mirror? What happens when we look at the reflection of ourselves through a regular mirror? Do we look with optimism as we believe we can see where we have shed a few pounds or where we are admiring our newest haircut? Or do we look at our reflection as if we were looking through a distorted view of ourselves and pick apart the things we don’t like about the way we look?

Some people just can’t help themselves, they look at their reflection in any window, mirror, or anything where their reflection can be seen. Anything that reflects our physical attributes in an accurate and undistorted way is great. It’s fantastic for people who use that reflection to continue to improve themselves

through workouts and diet. It’s also wonderful for people who use that reflection to motivate themselves to start taking better care of themselves, even if it is a little bit at a time.

What mirrors have a hard time doing is reflecting the person who is standing in front Michael Norton of the mirror. And by person I mean the valWINNING ues and beliefs of the WORDS person. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a mirror that could reflect when we were living with love, integrity, kindness and forgiveness? And conversely, wouldn’t it be awesome if the mirror showed us a reflection of ourselves when we were jealous, angry, bitter, resentful and just being a jerk?

Depending on our frame of mind and what we know about the way we are living, we could possibly see the good and positive traits as we look at our reflection. Knowing we have done something special in our lives or for someone else. And maybe we know, as we see ourselves in the mirror, that we are proud of our attitude and integrity. Yet other times, I think we are hoping we can find one of those funhouse mirrors or distorting mirrors. We don’t want to see who we really are and we will take any new image that the funhouse mirror will display when we are acting out in jeal-

ousy, anger, bitterness, resentfulness, and just being a jerk.

Here’s the good news. Funhouse mirrors and distorting mirrors are fun for sure, but we do not need them to help us to see a different person, the person who we are on the inside.

They may help us fake it for a while as we fool ourselves. But sooner or later the real “us” will become very evident again and we will show our true colors. The good news is that we are the ones in control of who we are, no one else.

If we see something or someone in the mirror that we are not pleased with, we have the ability to change who we are, what we are, and where we are going. We can achieve this through working out, getting more in touch with our faith, reading positive books and success stories, giving up bad and old habits, and we can also enlist the help of counselors, coaches, pastors and friends if necessary. The point is we are in control.

When was the last time you really took a good hard look in the mirror? Are you happy and content, or do you see changes that you would like to make either physically, personally or professionally? Either way I would love to hear all about what you see in the mirror at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we look past the funhouse and distorted mirrors to see who we are, it really will be a better than good week.

Great elevator pitch comes with hidden benefits Do you have an elevator pitch? Is it any good? Do people want to engage you afterward to learn more? If you can’t answer yes to these three questions then read on.

With the increasing popularity of leads groups and Glenn Bott meetups, having an elevator pitch is GUEST essential to growing COLUMN your business. While we all know this, most only spend a few minutes putting one together. Or worse yet, they wing it and their message changes from day to day and meeting to meeting. Without realizing it, they’re shooting themselves in the foot. People are always watching and judging and give a great deal of emphasis to authenticity and consistency.

Your job is to give them some great material to remember you by.

Besides a business overview, an elevator pitch is also essential for your personal development. Crafting a great pitch helps you define who you are and what you’re about. It gives you a story to tell yourself throughout the day to help maintain focus on your vision.

The elevator pitch began as a way to give a stranger an overview in a concise manner. Typically something in the 30 second range — about the time it would take to ride an elevator a few floors before leaving.

By having a great elevator pitch you not only convey what you do in broad terms, but you do so in a memorable way that entices the other person to learn more. You have a great elevator pitch when people adjust their ride to spend more time learning about you and your business.

Bott Continued from Page 10

The business benefits are to communicate to others the necessary who, what, how and, sometimes, the why of what you do. The personal benefits include better focus and increased personal power.

Focus — when crafting a great elevator pitch it helps you precisely define the essence of what you do. As you craft your pitch you will zero in on your true business. This may take time and numerous iterations. Write it, let it sit overnight, and then revisit it the next day. Continue until you’re satisfied. Make this a living document and revise it as needed.

Engaging — after your essence is defined, deliver it in a way that is engaging and memorable. Make your pitch personal, powerful and unique. Let it roll off your tongue smoothly and with confidence. If your elevator pitch sounds like everyone else’s, then it’s time to go back to the drawing board and start over.

You want it to reflect you, what you do

Do all of these negative insertions in our day wear on us?

and be memorable.

Yardstick — a properly crafted elevator pitch also helps you become aware of potential diversions you may encounter throughout the day. If someone is trying to divert your attention, mentally recite your elevator pitch to remind you of what you’re about. Ask yourself if the issue at hand fits with your vision and elevator pitch. If what you’re being asked to do doesn’t support your pitch, the answer is no.

Simple —You want your message to be simple yet memorable. Keep it focused so those that hear it will remember you, what you’re about and can convey this information to those they encounter. Leave a lasting and positive impression.

LaVonne “Bonnie” Temple Hays Oct. 24, 1923 – Aug. 2, 2016

LaVonne “Bonnie” (Temple) Hays, 92, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at home on August 2, 2016.

tant than her family and extended family. Her five grandchildren and eight great grandchildren were the highlight of any day!

Bonnie was born to Edward Temple and Alma Madonna (Slagle) Temple on Oct. 24, 1923, south of Stanberry, MO on the family farm. She was the youngest of their four children.

She graduated from Stanberry High School in 1941 and moved to St. Joseph, MO where she took classes at Platt Business College. She was a bookkeeper at Glazier’s Meat Packing Co. She rented a room for her living accommodations.

Her landlady suggested her boarders write letters to some military friends serving in World War II. Those letters forever changed Bonnie’s life.

One of those servicemen was William Andy Hays, the future love of her life. They corresponded throughout the war and met on his furloughs before being married on August 12, 1946 in St. Joseph which launched a 63-year romance.

They started their family in St. Joseph, having two sons before Andy’s work moved them to Kansas City, MO and ultimately to Englewood, CO in 1957.

Bonnie was a homemaker and kept busy

She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings and husband.

In 1968, Bonnie decided she wanted something to get her out of the house since her sons were about to leave home for college.

She became an Avon sales representative, which she immediately liked and was quite successful. She thoroughly enjoyed the customers she met and lifelong friendships she made while earning sales recognition along the way.

She gained President’s Club and Honor Society status most of the 47 years she sold Avon. She was recognized with the Spirit of Avon award in 1999.

She reluctantly retired this spring due to health issues.

Bonnie is survived by her sons, Michael (Mary), Littleton and Rick (Jane), Helena, MT; her grandchildren, Timothy (Jessica), Carlsbad, CA; Randy (Kristin), Durango, CO; Matthew, Colorado Springs; Benjamin (Shuyi), Taipei, Taiwan; Lara (Brandon) Chavez, Denver; her great grandchildren, her sister-in-law, Mary Carolyn Hays, St. Joseph, as well as cousins, nieces, nephews, and other relatives.

The family is forever grateful to Bonnie’s caregiving angels -- Gertrude, Jodi and Karen and the exceptional people at Divine Mercy Hospice -- Brenda, Dani and Dr. Rastrelli for their wonderful support of Bonnie.

A Mass of Christian burial was celebrated Monday, August 8, at St. Louis Catholic Church, 3310 S. Sherman, Englewood.

For whom the bells toll Bells in Episcopal churches ring weekly to remember victims of gun violence and promote peace

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

A

t 1 p.m. every Wednesday, the bell in the historic chapel at Christ’s Episcopal Church in downtown Castle Rock rings 49 times — one toll in remembrance of each person killed in the Orlando, Florida, shootings on June 12.

As the bells toll, pastors and community members in attendance pray not only for those killed in Orlando, but also people killed, injured and bereaved in San Bernardino, California; Aurora; Newtown, Connecticut; Dallas and countless other communities across the nation that have experienced tragic and deadly shootings.

“My hope for the bell tolling is that it would bring the community to prayer and also to discernment of how we can bring peace,” said the Rev. Brian Winter of Christ’s Episcopal.

“How can we be that spark of joy and peace in people’s lives?”

The Castle Rock church is only one of many embracing the Tolling of the Bells project. Episcopal churches across Colorado are participating with a goal to bring change to their neighbors, community and elected representatives in the U.S. Congress by bringing continues awareness to gun voilence.

Rev. Susan Springer, of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Boulder, organized the project that continues through Nov. 2. The Episcopal Church in Colorado is made up of 103 worshipping communities with approximately 30,000 members.

Since the early Middle Ages, churches have rung bells to call people to prayer and a community to attention, both facets represented in the Tolling of the Bells project.

“After each mass shooting we, like many other Americans, are outraged and deeply saddened,” the project page on episcopalcolorado.org reads.

“We pray. In time, the shock of the incident diminishes. The demands of our own lives intervene and draw our attention elsewhere — until the next tragic incident occurs. We find ourselves praying that each incident will be the last, and yet they continue.”

For Winter, prayer is the beginning.

“It has to start with prayer and hopefully prayer can change the world,” he said. “But it also changes us.

It makes us more aware of who we are and what our part in all of this is.”

At the same time the bells toll in Castle Rock, they are tolling at St. Philip in the Field Church in Sedalia.

“There’s a solidarity in a sense of bonding,” the Rev. Janet Fullmer said of the bells ringing at the same time throughout the state. “It underscores that we’re not alone in caring and remembering and thinking and praying and trying to be agents of change.”

Some churches, such as St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Littleton, don’t have bells to toll. So the congregations is raising awareness with a plywood sign in the shape of a bell, which is displayed in front of the church on Dry Creek Road.

“I think everybody is heartbroken by the different violence around us, so we wanted to be part of speaking up for more descent community values,” said Rev. Michael Carney of St. Timothy’s. “We hope to remind the com-

munity that there are so many decent, caring people everywhere and that we all stand together against this terrible violence.”

In Castle Rock, Winter hopes the bell from his church will be heard blocks away on Wilcox Street.

And he hopes that, when townspeople hear it, they will think about how they can be God’s instruments of peace in the world today.

Women’s abstract art is focus of exhibition Metro State gallery picks up on theme from Denver Art Museum

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com In recent years, there have been numerous conversations, essays and publications addressing the role of women in contemporary art (and in art history). Uneven representation has been evident in major exhibitions, publications and sales, according to Cecily Cullen, managing director and curator for Metropolitan State University’s Center for Visual Art, or CVA. In response to the Denver Art Museum’s current major exhibit of women’s art from the Abstract Expressionist movement, the CVA asked local arts writer and expert on contemporary art Michael Paglia to be guest curator of an exhibit at the CVA. “Colorado Women in Abstraction” opened July 15 and runs to Oct. 1, in a gallery packed with impressive works by 32 Colorado women who worked from the postwar period until today.

Mostly large works in various techniques fill the airy gallery with impressive color, pattern

“Polyphonia” (2012-16) by Monroe Hodder is included in “Colorado Women in Abstraction,” now open at Metropolitan State University of Denver’s Center for Visual Art in the Santa Fe Arts District. Courtesy photo and form.

Paglia writes that today’s abstract scene in Colorado is “complex and vast” and he has included women working in painting, sculpture and installation. A few emerging artists are included, he says, but most have “substantial careers” and are among “the most important women abstractionists working in Colorado today.”

Paglia’s essays and reviews focus on modern and contemporary art and architecture and his column has appeared in the weekly “Westword” since 1995.

His articles are found in many

periodicals and he is author or co-author of a dozen books.

Monroe Hodder’s “Polyphonia” (oil on canvas 2012-2016) is a diptych, accompanied by her notation that “sunlight is a metaphor for new inventions and new inspirations.” Each half has a circular element, filled with moving smaller shapes executed in brilliant color.

Soon after entering the gallery, one meets “Oxytocin” by Martha Russo and Katy Caron, an assemblage of global forms in neutral colors, with lights inside them. One circles to peer in from various angles.

A walk deeper into the long space brings the viewer to Greenwood Village encaustic painter Pat Aaron’s triptych, “The Light of Youth” (2012, beeswax, pigment, ink and graphic). Her statement about the large piece says that she was “moved to paint it after reading “My Antonia” by Willa Cather. For three months, she was focused on “raw landscape in rural Nebraska.”

Small clusters of shapes float against an off-white background, interspersed with dark markings.

Art lovers will enjoy spending an afternoon interacting with individual works — and being surrounded by a stimulating scene.

Night Out Continued from Page 1

Stephens made sure to stop by Promise Park, just north of Littleton Boulevard and a block west of Broadway, as he made his way around the city on National Night Out Aug. 2.

“I just think it’s tremendously beneficial for crime prevention,” he said.

According to Stephens, the National Night Out block parties — held annually on the first Tuesday of August — can cut down on crime by getting people involved in their communities and helping neighbors get to know one another.

The neighborhoods surrounding Promise Park look different from most of Littleton, with aging apartment buildings standing in place of single-family homes with lawns and driveways. The vast majority of attendees at the Promise Park party were Latino, many Spanish-speaking. They gathered for burritos catered by Chipotle, and children collected school supplies donated by the Littleton Elks.

“This is a neighborhood that needs to have this party,” said Pat O’Neill, of the Littleton Police Citizen Academy Alumni Association.

The neighborhood experiences greater poverty and higher crime rates than other areas of Littleton, she pointed out.

An example of that had occurred within a stone’s throw of Promise Park just days before National Night Out. Mayra Saldana, co-owner of Carniceria la Tapatia, a Mexican grocery store along Littleton Boulevard, was the victim of an

The Independent • The Herald 15 The Aurora incident occurred July 31.

In that incident, the victim was with her 10-year-old son.

Speer was found guilty of robbery in October 2004 and was acquitted of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon in that incident, in which he shot the victim.

Speer’s criminal background also includes a previous motor vehicle theft charge from 2003.

According to prosecutors, he was wearing a GPS monitor, per the terms of his parole, when the July crimes occurred. armed robbery at her business the morning of July 29.

Although no suspects had been arrested by the night of the party, Saldana said that police had been responsive to her concerns. She said that events like National Night Out are good for the neighborhood.

“The demographics in this area don’t really get to have a relationship with the police,” she said.

The police chief said that fostering a positive relationship between the area’s residents and police officers is important.

“When we have positive contacts like this, people are more likely to call the police,” Stephens said.

The Promise Park event was one of 32 registered National Night Out parties in Littleton.

At a party on South Costilla Street, south of downtown near Ridgeview Park, suburban neighbors gathered for a barbecue in the driveway and front yard of a house.

“This is what you would call a `Blue Lives Matter’ crowd,” said homeowner Tony Anderson, who has hosted a party with his wife, Cindy, for the past four years.

“We’re all big-time police supporters,” he added.

For neighbors at the Andersons’ party, National Night Out is as much about getting to know one another as it is building relationships between police and citizens.

But getting to know one another can also be framed in the context of crime prevention.

“You recognize who lives in the neighborhood, so if somebody is around knocking on doors and you see them knock on seven doors, you know if they’re trying to see if somebody isn’t home,” said City Councilmember Peggy Cole.

Artist examines ways of the West Phippen has shown works both nationally and locally

IF YOU GO

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “How and why does a horse smile?

That’s what I’m after.” Colorado realist Sarah Phippen depends on accurate observation of the people and animals in her world as she portrays them in oil on linen, with traditional techniques that give her work depth and insight.

She will exhibit her paintings of horses and those who work with them in “Hats and Hooves,” a one-person exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center in downtown Littleton, just in time for the city’s Western Welcome Week. It opens with a public reception on Aug. 12 and runs until Sept. 25 in the Stanton Gallery.

She is the granddaughter of George Phippen, a sculptor, painter and founder of the Cowboy Artists of America, and she shares his appreciation for “the grace of horses” and for those who dedicate themselves to a Western way of life.

“I grew up surrounded by livestock and wildlife. Observing their personalities and expressions allowed me to experience their quiet moments or read trouble in their eyes. I see this heritage as part of our age-old relationship with animals; it is part of being human, a privilege that surrounds us every day,” she wrote.

“Hats and Hooves” will be in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton, through Sept. 25. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances. 303-794-2787.

“Bliss,” for example shows a horse happily rolling on its back in the grass.

Surely there’s a smile.

She exhibits nationally, from Florida to California, including at the George Phippen Museum of Western Art in Prescott, Arizona, which honors her grandfather, as well as showing in the Lone Tree Art Exhibition, Art Students League of Denver and the Castle Rock Artfest locally.

Traditional double plays in high school softball are rare, but Valor Christian second baseman Abby Zuschlag, left, and shortstop Lauren Foster completed one during the fifth inning of a 1-1 game to stall a Wheat Ridge rally in last season’s Class 4A state championship contest. Valor went on to win, 2-1, to capture its second consecutive state title. Courtesy photo

Classic play can be doubly difficult Turning a swing of a bat into two outs is a challenge for fielders, but a gem when accomplished

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Double plays can deflate offensive momentum, but they are rare in high school softball.

Most are of the line-drive variety. Turning a classic double play — shortstop to second base to first base — doesn’t happen often. It takes precise timing, good footwork and a hard-hit grounder. The distance between bases is 30 feet shorter than in baseball, adding to the difficulty of turning two.

“The double play in softball is a tough turn with just 60 foot bases and so many girls having great foot speed out of the batter’s box,” Douglas County High

School coach Brian Stebbins said. “So many things have to go right that it isn’t a play we see very often.”

Last season in Division I college softball, UCLA was the top team in turning double plays, with 45 in 59 games for an average of 0.79 per game.

No statistics were kept for high school softball, but the averages would likely also be much less than one a game.

“The traditional double play at the high school level is not seen very often,”

Legend coach Kristen Shirk said. “Timing is definitely a key in turning two, along with proper footwork on the bag and knowing when as a fielder it’s best if you pop your feet to throw or backhand your throw.”

Valor Christian coach Dave Atencio can’t help but celebrate whenever he sees a ground ball turn into a double play by his team.

In short, putting is at a premium Long drives bring bragging rights, but a consistent stroke on the greens often wins tournaments

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com A massive drive is an excellent way to start, but those 3- to 6-foot putts often make the biggest difference in a golfer’s score on a hole.

Many high school golfers are long off the tee, but most of the players at the top of tournament leader boards are also consistent on the greens with their putters.

“As great as it is to hit a 325-yard drive, you have to make those 5-foot putts if you are going to play well,” said Lakewood senior Griffin Barela, who tied for fifth in last season’s Class 5A state tournament. “Making those putts is more important really. If you hit the shots and you don’t make the putts, it can really demoralize you.”

Arapahoe golf coach Harry Buckner has different putting drills for his golfers, including one with a 6-foot circle around the pin.

“We get on different spots on the green

PLAYERS TO WATCH Some of the top boys golfers for the 2016 season in the south metro area: Arapahoe: Tommy Packer, Jr.; Alex Yano, Jr.; Jay Yano, Jr. Heritage: Brandon Ikebe, Sr.;

Beau Reynolds, Sr.; Branden Butterfield, Sr.; Spencer Clark, Soph.

and try to putt three balls into that circle, which puts you within 3-feet of the hole,” he said. “The secret to not three-putting is getting that first one within 3 feet.

“In both of our practices during the week, we’ll spend 80 percent of our time from 100 yards in, chipping and putting. If you can get it up and down, that’s where you save your shots. All the shots count the same.”

David Rooney, a senior golfer at Douglas County High School, agrees that three-putt greens can often be avoided with good lag putts.

“With longer putts, it’s more of knowing the greens you are playing on,” he said. “Most of that just comes from an athletic feel for it. You can’t really calculate it. I don’t aim for the hole. I aim for an area around the middle of it.

“Those shorter putts are tough. I have trouble with super long putts, getting it in

THE COURSE AHEAD High school boys golf teams started formal practices Aug. 8 and tournament play began Aug. 11.

One-day regional golf tournaments for all classes are scheduled for Sept. 19, with the state tournaments set for Sept. 26 and 27.

The Class 5A state tournament will be held at Bookcliff Country Club in Grand Junction, the Class 4A meet will be at the River Valley Ranch in Carbondale, and the 3A state tourney will be played at Saddle Rock in Aurora.

that 5-foot range. Those short putts, I’ve been doing a good job of making a lot of those.”

A time and a place for team strategy Schools must rely on the pack — not just a lone wolf — to find success

THE ROAD AHEAD Official cross country practices begin Aug. 15. Regionals are set for Oct. 20-22, with the all-class state cross country meet scheduled for Oct. 29 at the Norris Penrose Events Center in Colorado Springs.

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cross country highlights individuals, but it also is a team activity.

And while not always apparent to the casual observer, there are team strategies that many coaches support and encourage.

“You are only as strong as your fifth runner,” Mountain Vista coach Jonathan Dalby said.

“If you take the top four spots in a meet but your fifth, sixth or seventh runner is last, you are not going to win the team title. We push the team aspect of it more than the individual aspect.”

Mountain Vista is the fourtime boys Class 5A state champion. Last season, the top five scoring Golden Eagles finished fifth, sixth, eighth, 11th and 22nd.

Cherry Creek’s girls were the 2015 Class 5A state runners-up, and the Bruins are one of many teams that strategically study a course and have a game plan.

“We try to focus mostly on the team aspects of cross country,” Cherry Creek coach Ethan Dusto said. “We train as a team and race as a team... we have team dinners and meetings to foster a bond between our athletes.”

Horizon coach TJ Ricciardi embraces the team aspect of the sport.

“It’s all about the grouping of runners,” Ricciardi said.

“Many of the most successful

RUNNERS TO WATCH Some of the boys and girls expected to be top runners from south metro-area schools for the 2016 season: Arapahoe: Girls - Allison Marizza, Sr.; Kelly Waugh, Jr.; Grace Brooks, Sr.; Eliza Fink, Sr.; Sienna Golden, Soph.

Rock Canyon coach Dan Davies talks to potential Jaguars cross country runners before a preseason workout. While cross country is often looked at as primarily an individual sport, the team element is important, area coaches say. Photo by Jim Benton teams will have a real small one through five split, meaning that the difference between their first runner’s time and their final scoring runner’s time is a smaller margin, especially if you do not have a standout first runner.

“Additionally, you want your sixth and seventh runners to try to displace other teams’ five scoring runners.”

Building team unity is a goal for many coaches in a sport dominated by individual bril-

spot in the race to make a move together and try to break away,” “One thing we like to stress is to make sure our last mile of the race is faster than everybody. We want to make sure we’re moving faster than everybody else.”

But how long should an elite runner stay with a pack of teammates and possibly jeopardize his or her chance of winning the race?

liance.

“We build camaraderie with the whole team via weekly relationship building, like team dinners, ultimate Frisbee and other social events,” Ponderosa coach Katherine Dorman said.

During races, teams attempt to run in packs.

“We can have a pack mentality where the kids try to work together as much as they can,” Dalby said. “Sometimes we’ll ask them to stick together and find a

Dusto said. “If they are close enough to the rest of my pack, I’ll usually try to get them to go out a little slow and build, trying to bring the rest along for as long as possible. If they are substantially better than the pack or don’t race well without a fast start, then sometimes they just need to go. In this case, it becomes a much more individual or competition-based race instead of a team-based race.”

For runner, volleyball is a change of pace Sarah Yocum has been working hard to get into volleyball shape.

That sounds facetious for a young lady who has been running all summer.

Yocum, a senior at Faith Christian Academy in Arvada, recently finished fifth in the 400-meter hurdles at the National Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, California.

Her preliminary time of 1 minute, 9.3 seconds was a personal best.

“I was very happy with my prelim times,” Yocum said. “The heat took a little out of me and I didn’t do as well as I would have like to in the finals. I’m so happy with the way it turned out.

“Right now I’m coming to end of track season. I’m starting the transition work to volleyball. During the volleyball season, I tend to bulk up and get into the heavy weight lifting. During track, I lean out.”

Yocum won the Class 3A state championship in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles as a freshman. She repeated in the 300 hurdles as a sophomore and captured the state championship in both hurdle events at the 2015 state meet. She was also sec-

ond in the 200- and 400-meter dashes last spring.

“I play volleyball, but track is definitely my passion,” she said. “In volleyball I just want to enjoy it and have fun with my teammates. It is definitely a secondary sport. For track, I’d like to go out and win four state titles and hopefully glorify God doing that.

Reunited in Florida Well-traveled quarterback Luke Del Rio and Florida football coach Jim McElwain finally have a chance to work together this fall.

Del Rio — the son of former Denver Broncos defensive coordinator and current Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio — turned down an offer from then-Colorado State coach McElwain to attend CSU

when he graduated in 2013 from Valor Christian. McElwain reportedly said Del Rio didn’t want to play in the high altitude of Colorado.

Instead, Del Rio decided to walk on at Alabama, but when that didn’t work out because of the Crimson Tide’s deep pool of quarterback talent, he went to Oregon State and played three games in 2014. He transferred to Florida, sat out the 2015 season due to transfer rules, and is now reunited with McElwain — who said goodbye to CSU after three seasons to take over the Florida program.

Del Rio headed into August preseason practices at the Gainesville, Florida, school as one of the candidates to land the starting quarterback job this season.

Love for softball wins out Valor Christian senior shortstop Lauren Foster is the daughter of Colorado Rockies pitching coach Steve Foster.

“I never played baseball but I grew up around baseball,” said Lauren, who has committed to play softball at Wisconsin.

“I would watch Little League baseball and

I wished my parents would sign me up.

But I love how quick softball is. You can talk to the girls on the field — it’s not as spread out as baseball.

“I love softball but I’ve also been around baseball, and the first thing I learned to throw was a baseball. I was throwing the baseball around in the back yard with my dad. I know some mechanics and a couple pitches. I can throw a couple pitches but nothing great.”

Barela wins Junior Match Play title Griffin Barela, a senior at Lakewood High School, won the Colorado Junior Match Play championship Aug. 3 at Castle Pines North.

Barela notched a 19-hole victory over Lakewood teammate Jack Castiglia in the semifinals and then beat Valor Christian graduate David Leede, 1-up, in the finals.

Confidence plays a key role in putting success.

“If you’re not making the putts, especially the short ones, your confidence gets really down,” Barela said. “The rest of your game starts suffering because you put more pressure on yourself trying to hit it closer and closer because you are not confident you are going to make the putts like 4 to 6 feet.

“For me, it’s those 5-footers that are harder because that’s the range that you expect to make them but you still have to hit a good putt with a good read. There are no gimmes, but you do expect to make them, and if you miss them you start to get a little frustrated with yourself.”

And frustration builds along with the score.

“You have to put it out of your head and know your stroke is still there,” Barela said. “You are going to miss putts but you can’t let that dictate the way you putt the restPUBLIC of the round.”

Seniors and youths come ‘Together’ in show Special musical performance raises funds and awareness

The cast of the musical “Together” ranges in age from 9 to 88. An integral part of the play is about how different generations can help each other.

Staff report The premise of the musical “Together” is that by uniting youths who feel isolated or unappreciated with seniors, who often feel the same, great things can happen.

The musical — playing the Lakewood Cultural Center Aug. 19-28 — features a cast with an age range of 9 to 88 to explore that concept. But the idea isn’t just for the stage. The play doubles as a fundraiser for a nonprofit orga-

nization, Bessie’s Hope, which actually does bring together disenfranchised youth with nursing home seniors.

“There’s that generational power of this, with these kids realizing these old folks are cool,” said Linda Holloway, co-founder

of Bessie’s Hope.

Holloway, along with cofounders Sharron Brandrup and Marge Utne, founded the organization after seeing the conditions that the elderly, such as Holloway’s grandmother Bessie, had to endure in nursing homes. Now

in its 22nd year, the organization helps find volunteers, trains them in how to have meaningful interactions with elders at all levels of cognitive functioning, and connects them with senior care facilities across the Denver metro area.

The original musical “Together” was written by the Bessie’s Hope founders in 1994. It was last staged in 2001. The organization puts on a performance of it every few years to help raise money and awareness for its mission, said Holloway.

This year’s show features a cast of 25 and a four-person crew.

“The 88-year-old happens to be my mother,” Holloway said, adding that grandmother Bessie

made sure music, including piano lessons, was part of her family.

The cast also includes performers of all skill levels, from an 82-year-old former Broadway performer to first-timers.

A musical was an apt medium for spreading the organization’s message, since music therapy has been shown to be effective with brightening the moods of dementia patients, Holloway said, which is something she saw firsthand with her grandmother.

“She’d take my little keyboard and plink out her favorite songs,” Holloway said. “I’d play them back to her and play a wrong note on purpose and she’d immediately notice.”

IF YOU GO WHAT: “Together” is a musical about the relationships between nursing home elders and youths. It is sponsored by the Robert and Judi Newman Family Foundation.
