PL E ASE RECYCLE

Habitat for Humanity’s work on the lots at 2329 W. Harvard Ave. in Englewood from Aug. 19-23 featured the familiar sounds of power saws and hammer hitting nails. What was different was that all of the volunteers working at the site were women.

The project was part of Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver’s first Women Build Week.

“This is the fifth time I have volunteered to work on a Habitat project,” Littleton resident Laura Worzella said. “I work for Wells Fargo, a company that is a big supporter of Habitat. They requested volunteers, and I signed up.”

Worzella was among 30 volunteers working on the site on Aug. 19. She said swinging a hammer and helping put up walls is a big change from her day-today duties at her office.

Proposed smoking ban stirs debate Some say Littleton City Council should butt out

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com For some, a proposed ban on smoking in downtown Littleton is about health. For some, it’s about government control. For others, it’s about fairness.

“I’m in favor of it to a degree,” said Mark Lane, co-owner of Old Town Tavern on Main Street and a nonsmoker himself. “Main Street as a nonsmoking path is fine. But to dictate to The Tavern and Ned Kelly’s that they can’t use their patios is absolutely the wrong direction to go.

And if it’s Littleton, it should be all of Littleton, not just a designated part of town. People will just go up the street to another bar where they can smoke outside.”

As proposed, Littleton’s smoking ban would encompass the area bordered by Santa Fe Drive to Rio

Grande Avenue, and Alamo Avenue to Powers Avenue. The only places it allows smoking is in alleys, in parking lots where permitted by the property owner, and in private residences and their outdoor areas, including balconies. It forbids smoking anything, including cigars, clove cigarettes and electronic cigarettes.

It’s less restrictive than Boulder’s smoking ban, which doesn’t allow it anywhere on the Pearl Street Mall, trails, open space, bus stops and other places throughout the city.

“We don’t want to be Boulder,” said Judi Plauster, a longtime regular at Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub who takes advantage of being able to smoke on the patio there. “We should have our own rights. I’ve lived in Littleton for 45 years, and I pay taxes in Littleton.

They’re going to take everything we have and all of these businesses are going to go under. You should be able to smoke outside. They’re forcing an issue when it’s not fair.”

Even among nonsmokers strolling Smoking continues on Page 4

Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub features a patio where smoking is allowed, but that could be in jeopardy if Littleton City Council passes a no-smoking ordinance for downtown. The matter is scheduled for a public hearing and final vote on Sept. 1. Photo by Jennifer Smith

Foo Fighters deliver P at Fiddler’s Green

FACES AMONG US

Two-night stand along with Royal Blood keeps crowd enthralled

HELLO

A glimpse of the people in our community

...

My Name Is

JIM PROUD Retired grandpa, woodworker

My background I’ve lived in Littleton since about January of 1985. I worked for 19 years for the Colorado School of Mines. I was an administrator in the office of continuing education. I retired in 2010. I’m married with three kids and two grandkids, who all still live close by. I grew up in Coral Gables, Florida. We moved around a lot, but we ended up here because my wife is from Elizabeth. We met because we were both involved in a Christian organization.

My hobbies I’ve been learning and working on woodturning since I retired. I make things like bowls, vases, pens and Christmas tree ornaments. Also, I run a program through church where we recycle metal and give all the money to charity. I also enjoy reading, fishing and doing things with the grandkids and the family.

There were no signs of disappointment as the capacity crowd filed out of Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre following a two-night stand by the Foo Fighters.

Nearly 36,000 fans packed into the venue for each of a pair of high-energy shows Aug. 16 and 17. With a successful first night in the bag, the Foo Fighters came out of the gate like a Kentucky thoroughbred on night two, playing hits “All My Life,” “Times Likes These,” “The Pretender” and

“Learn to Fly” within the first five songs.

Front man Dave Grohl — ever the crowd favorite with his affable personality and knack for impromptu banter — narrated a video clip on the big screen of the header he took off the stage during a show in Sweden earlier this summer. Grohl broke his leg in the fall, but finished the show as Johan the Swedish medic set his leg on stage. After his injury, Grohl requested and received a throne, complete with a sliding track, guitar accents and laser beams. It was on this elaborate pedestal that he sat for both nights.

Grohl, the former drummer for Nirvana, introduced each member of the band, including Concert continues on Page 8

Helping people My passion is for my family and helping other people through the church. We’ve been going to South Suburban Christian Church for about 10 years now. Today I’m picking up a World War II Navy veteran to take him to his doctor appointment. I just do whatever people need help with.

Big adventures There have been a lot of them. We visited friends and relatives in Sweden and Poland one year. The mountains in Poland aren’t as high as they are here, but we had a great time with friends and relatives.

Project prepares food for Haitian orphanage About 600 volunteers package ingredients for nutritious meals

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Representatives of three organizations joined forces at the Rocky Mountain Roller Hockey arena in Lakewood Aug. 22 and, in about four hours, packaged ingredients for thousands of meals that will be sent to an orphanage for special needs children in Haiti.

Activ8Sports, a Christian sports organization, organized the event and enlisted volunteers. Feed the Starving Children provided all the materials and ingredients for the events, while Rocky Mountain Roller Hockey & Sports Center donated the space to assemble the packages.

“We felt this would be a good project for us, and we worked with Justin BaanHofman who had organized a mobile pack project last year in cooperation with the Feed the Starving Children organization out of Minneapolis,” said Scott Russomono, president of Activ8Sports. “We put out the word, they advertised on K-Love Christian radio station, and we have about 600 volunteers here today pack the meals.”

The Highlands Ranch resident said many of the Aug. 22 volunteers were individuals with special needs. Russomono said that is important because the meals they helped pack are going to an orphanage in Haiti for children with special needs.

He said he considered the day a success as about 600 volunteers from all over the metro area packed a total of 132,192 meals that will be sent to the Haitian orphanage.

Kelly Raab and her two children, Josie, 10 and Calvin, 13, were among the volunteers preparing the plastic bags filled with ingredients for healthy meals.

“I signed up through my company and asked my children to join me,” the Littleton resident said. “I think this is an awesome project. It is well planned, well organized and will help feed a lot of kids.”

Josie and Calvin both said they thought this was a special project and liked the fact they were helping provide food for kids who don’t even have enough to eat.

The volunteers attended a short briefing and then moved out onto the floor of the roller hockey rink to staff one of 32 packing stations.

It took just a few minutes for all volunteers to fit right into the well-organized process.

Colton Vigil rolled his wheelchair up to the edge of a table and staffed the machine that heat-sealed the plastic bags.

“I go to Red Rocks Church, and when they said they were looking for volunteers for this project, I signed up,” the Lakewood man said.

“I did one of these events before, but I wanted to be a part of this one because the food is going to help children with special needs.”

Feed the Starving Children works with local organizers around the country to hold mobile packing events, providing the ingredients that are mixed together in plastic bags. When the ingredients in one plastic bag are cooked in hot water, they yield about six one-cup servings of a hot, cereal-like blend.

On Aug. 22, there were four ingredients blended together in the package. There were small scoops of vitamin meal and mixed dehydrated potatoes and carrots. Next a cup of soy meal and a cup of white rice were added to the mixture. The mixture was placed in a plastic bag weighing between 380 and 400 grams. The bags were packed into boxes, then wrapped in plastic and stacked on pallets for shipment to Haiti.

“I will be sore from working here today, but it is a rewarding soreness,” she said with a smile. “I love the chance to do something to help people and to give back to the communities where we work and play.”

A co-worker at the site was Castle Rock resident Joan Pratt, who was working on a Habitat project for the first time.

“I volunteered for the project through RE/MAX, the company I work for,” she said. “I found being a Habitat volunteer is a lot more demanding that I expected. I figured this was all women so they would give us easy jobs like painting. Boy was I wrong.”

She said when she checked in, a Habitat crew member handed her

Smoking

August 27, 2015 gloves, a tool belt, a hammer and put her to work.

“I am learning a lot about how houses are built, things that are important to me as a Realtor,” she said. “I also have learned lot of new skills, and found out I am pretty good at tasks I have never done before. For example, I found I was pretty good with the router used to cut out doors and windows, so they had me doing that for a while.”

She said it feels good to volunteer for projects that help others.

She said she knows how much this project will help an individual because one of the women working beside her will be the tenant in one of the homes under construction.

Construction of Habitat for Humanity projects is done by volunteers who must attend a mandatory volunteer orientation before they go to the job site, where they

work shoulder-to-shoulder with the prospective homeowners, who are required to put in 250 to 500 hours of work, called “sweat equity,” into construction of the home.

Tanya Buckeye was working on the project that includes a new house for her and her two daughters.

“I am a single mom with two daughters. We were paying way more rent than I could afford for a house that was falling apart in north Denver,” she said. “A friend suggested I apply to Habitat, and I am so happy that I was picked to live in one of these houses.”

She said it is amazing to work on a house she and her girls will soon call home.

“Everyone is so nice, and it is great to be here helping to build this house,” she said. “I am getting to know a lot about this house, and it feels good to know I have

had my hands in the work and have been a part of building these houses.”

Robyn Burns, the director of marketing and communications for Habitat of Metro Denver, said about 175 women signed up to take part in Women Build Week work on the Englewood project.

“The project will build two duplex units on these lots,” she said. “When the volunteers arrived the first day of Women Build Week, only bare concrete floors were completed. By the end of the week, the walls will be up and roof trusses in place.”

Habitat constructs energyefficient homes that are sold to families at market value or the cost of construction, then finances a zero-percent mortgage for the families buying the homes. The organization makes sure the house payments are no more than 30 percent of the buyers’ income.

THE ORDINANCE

Continued from Page 1

Main Street on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, support for the ban was hard to drum up. Out of a dozen or so polled, just one person said she would support it.

“I’m pregnant, and I don’t need to have that around me when I’m walking down the street,” said Nicole Delabre.

She noted that some people, including her own father, have health problems that require avoiding smoke at all costs.

But the main theme from others was that the government should butt out.

“That’s taking our rights away,” said Robby Hilborn, a former smoker. “I live here in Littleton, and they’ve been making a lot of changes I don’t like.”

Ed Rathburn, also a nonsmoker, agreed.

“If there’s a designated area, it’s fine,” he said. “I’m so tired of

The proposed smoking ordinance, scheduled for a public hearing and final vote on Sept.

1, reads, in part: WHEREAS, the city council finds that additional smoking regulations concerning the use of electronic smoking devices and expanding the public areas where smoking is prohibited protects the public health safety and welfare of the citizens of Littleton; WHEREAS, the city council finds that electronic smoking devices are battery-operated devices designed to deliver nicotine, flavor and other substances through a vapor inhaled by the user and that such devices are similar to conventional people infringing on our right to eat, drink or smoke what we want.

I think the government should get out of other people’s business.”

His friend Fred Pfannenstiel,

cigarettes with the user exhaling a smoke-like vapor similar in appearance to the exhaled smoke from cigarettes; WHEREAS, the city council finds that the use of electronic smoking devices in smoke-free locations undermines the city’s no-smoking regulations; WHEREAS, the city council finds that the definition of tobacco should be expanded to include kinds and forms of tobacco prepared in such a manner to be suitable for smoking in electronic smoking devices; WHEREAS, the city council finds that it is in the best interest of the city of Littleton to protect non-smokers from involuntary exposure to smoke from such a smoker and longtime regular at Old Town Tavern, said he’s only heard one or two people complaining about smokers on Main Street, and one of them is Kim

devices; WHEREAS, the city council finds that it is in the best interest of the citizens of Littleton to protect non-smokers from involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke in the outdoor areas of Littleton’s downtown; WHEREAS, the city council finds that providing smoke-free areas in downtown will promote tourism and visitors to downtown retail and dining establishments; and WHEREAS, the city council finds that the purpose of these regulations promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Littleton.

Glidden, owner of The Pottery Studio Gallery on Curtice Street.

Glidden complained to council on April 21 that people regularly smoke outside her store. And even

THANK YOU!

Habitat for Humanity was established in 1978 by Millard and Linda Fuller to address housing needs worldwide.

Houses are built by volunteers and sold at market value; Habitat finances zero-percent interest loans for the owners.

Since it was founded, Habitat volunteers have constructed more than 600,000 homes.

A Habitat home is completed every 5.5 minutes.

More than 600 homes have been completed in and around Denver since Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver was established in 1979.

when they’re outside of the 15-foot zone that current state law proscribes, Glidden says the smoke affects her and drives people away from her block. She asked council to consider a smoking ban, and Councilmember Debbie Brinkman directed staff to explore the possibilities.

Brinkman would support an even stronger ban than what’s proposed, including playgrounds, open space and trails, and lightrail stations as public spaces that could be included.

“We’re not talking about private property,” she said in April.

“But we can do something that maybe serves the greater population. … A lot of this is really generated by citizen complaints.”

Councilmember Jerry Valdes said at the time that restricting smoking on Main Street seemed reasonable, but that’s about as far as he wanted to go.

“I’m just not into controlling everybody’s way of life,” he said.

“It just seems like we’re trying to control too much.”

The financial support of our sponsors makes it possible for Western Welcome Week to provide the Littleton and surrounding communities with good wholesome family entertainment. We would encourage those of you who enjoy the many events to stop in and tell these sponsors how much you enjoyed this year’s celebration and thank them for their participation.

Hooters restaurant opens in Lone Tree Eatery launches in time for football season

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The new Lone Tree Hooters restaurant opened its doors just in time for football season.

Hooters now occupies the former TGI Fridays site on the corner of Yosemite Street and County Line Road.

“We just want people to know that we’re here and we’re open,” said general manager Ashley Singer. “Come out for Broncos games and football games. We’ll be open.”

According to Singer, the restaurant has hired more than 60 new employees.

Hooters is a national chain famous

for its chicken wings and “Hooters Girls,” waitresses who are typically young and lightly attired. Hooters is based in Atlanta and includes more than 430 locations in 28 countries. The first Hooters opened in 1983 in Clearwater, Florida.

The restaurant is located across County Line Road from Centennial’s Willow Creek subdivision, and it is closer to those homes than to any in Lone Tree.

Two petitions opposing the establishment’s moving into the area were circulated in Centennial earlier this year, gathering 198 signatures in an attempt to stop the restaurant from being granted a liquor license.

Ultimately, the Lone Tree City Council decided that Hooters met all of the required guidelines for approval. Lone Tree Hooters Inc. has signed a 10-year lease for the site.

Sheldon Henderson on “Moto Moto” and Ronnie Brown on “Fear the Bow” prepare to go head-to-head in the eighth annual Boat Regatta at Holly Creek Retirement Community on Aug. 21.

Holly Creek paddles for Alzheimer’s Cardboard-boat regatta raises money for research

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Stone Cold” Sheldon Henderson is the undisputed champion of cardboard boating, having pulled off a three-peat during the Holly Creek Retirement Community’s annual Boat Regatta on Aug. 21.

“I’m tired,” said Henderson, who valiantly captained the good ship “Moto Moto” to glory. “I’m going to retire and let

somebody else do it next year. I’m done.

But it’s all for a great cause.”

Indeed, this year’s regatta added nearly $1,500 to the more than $12,000 the event has raised for Alzheimer’s research over the last eight years.

But it’s no smooth sailing for the racers, who represent different administrative departments at Holly Creek. The boats are made out of just cardboard, duct tape and plastic bags, then paddled in head-to-head heats around the community’s lap pool. This year’s theme was “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,” so the boats had names like “Danika’s Pit Crew” and “Silver Streakers.”

Holly Creek resident Lois Donahue was on the team that built “Axlerod,” so named for Sir Miles Axlerod from the Pixar movie “Cars.”

“We liked him because he was the villain, and he wanted everyone to use his electricity,” she said. “He is very high energy and electric. He was just for us.”

Donahue said everybody looks forward to the annual regatta, but it’s just one of the nice things about living at Holly Creek.

“We can go out and do fun things with the staff,” she said. “It’s a fun place, so I don’t feel like I’m stuck up there in a chicken coop.”

One of Donahue’s team members, Jim Ratte, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s two years ago. But he still works out every day and came in second place in the regatta last year.

“He and his wife are a delightful couple,” said Donahue. “We had good teamwork, and good rapport.”

Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen recently announced he has Alzheimer’s, shining new light on the disease. The most common form of dementia, it mostly appears in those 65 and older. But up to 5 percent of people with the disease display symptoms as early as their 40s.

Some jobless rates low as political fights loom Economy might get little emphasis in campaigns

By Christopher Rugaber Associated Press Unemployment rates fell in 24 U.S. states last month, including some of those with early presidential nominating contests.

In Colorado, the jobless rate

dipped from 4.4 percent to 4.3 percent.

Jobless rates rose in 14 states and were unchanged in 12. Employers added jobs in 34 states and cut them in 16.

In Iowa, site of the nation’s first presidential contest, the rate ticked up to a still-low 3.8 percent from 3.7 percent. The unemployment rate in New Hampshire, site of the second

contest, slipped to 3.7 percent from 3.8 percent.

Those rates are far below the nation’s unemployment rate of 5.3 percent and could lower the importance of the economy in those states as a political issue.

Economic issues occupied a small portion of the GOP’s first presidential primary debate last month, a stark contrast from the primary debates of 2012, which

focused heavily on jobs and the economy.

Other states with early nominating contests have higher rates, though in some cases they are falling quickly. In Nevada, which will pick Republican and Democratic nominees Feb. 20, unemployment is still high at 6.8 percent. Yet it has fallen from 7.6 percent in the past year, even as the state’s workforce has grown.

Nevada has added about 45,000 jobs in the past year, with almost half the gains occurring in hotels, restaurants and casinos.

Several states scheduled to choose presidential nominees March 1 also have low unemployment, including Colorado; Minnesota, 4 percent; Oklahoma, 4.5 percent; Texas, 4.2 percent; and Virginia, 4.8 percent.

OBITUARIES SAUNDERS

Florence Saunders

June 9, 1925 – August 13, 2015

Florence was born on June 9th, 1925 in Birmingham England. Her parents had four children: Leslie, Iris, Bill and Florence who was the baby. She was in her late teens and early twenties during World War II. She met the love of her life at a church army canteen and his name was John. They were married in 1945 in Birmingham. John was in the service until the end of the war. He returned to the States by boat and Florence followed a few months later. John picked Florence up when her boat arrived in New York. They then traveled to Oklahoma where John grew up. Florence had a beautiful shower there and was not expecting the generosity of her new Oklahoma family. They then moved to Texas where John became a journeyman carpenter. They had two children, first Andrea and 2 ½ years later Bill. Two years later they moved to Colorado because of Florence’s allergies.

Florence trained in England to become a nursery nurse. Children were one of her greatest loves. She was a preschool teacher for many years at University Preschool in Littleton. She was pretty famous as “Miss Florence.”

Even in her later years people would come up to her and say you are “Miss Florence,” my child was in your school years ago and now they are in college.

She adored her five grandchildren: Michael, Ladd, Seth, Laura and Nathan. Years later she had eight great-grandchildren: Ainsley (13), Tyler (12), Bailey (10), Tanner (9), Preston (8), Logan (6), Makenna (4) and baby Lincoln (six weeks).

Over the years Florence has enjoyed her British

groups. Years ago the ESU (English Speaking Union) gave her great pleasure and many fun social outings.

Later she enjoyed the Daughters of the British Empire. She thoroughly enjoyed her many friends from these groups. Many of these friends have been lifelong friends.

Florence has had a full life with her family, friends and children of all ages. We will miss her very much. We love you Mom! Florence passed away on August 13, 2015, after a long illness.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, August 29, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. at Olinger Chapel Hill Mortuary, 6601 South Colorado Boulevard, Centennial, Colorado.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Parkinson Association of the Rockies, 1325 South Colorado Boulevard, Suite 204B, Denver CO 80222, or to the charity of your choice.

Royal Blood, the U.K. band that opened for the Foo Fighters, gained plenty of followers during a two-night stand at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre.

Concert Continued from Page 2

Grohl’s affection for fans was palpable, and the band’s effortless ability to re-create moments in time through song has never been stronger.

always-smiling guitarist Pat Smear and drummer Taylor Hawkins, whose frantic but controlled flailing behind the kit suggests hints of Animal from “The Muppet Show.”

There were points in which the Aug. 17 show seemed to drag. The band took a break while Grohl — accompanied by guitarist Chris Shifflin on the concertina — played the acoustic song “Skin & Bones.”

The subdued moment caused some audience members to shuffle out for a bathroom break or a drink. A few onlookers appeared bored during drawn-out washes of fuzz and feedback.

But the vibe was overwhelmingly positive, with the audience standing for the Foos’ entire two-hour set. Die-hards belted every lyric, and even in the farthest reaches of the lawn seats, people were still into it.

Royal Blood The show opened with the pistonthump drumming of Ben Thatcher, 26, and frenetic thrashing of singer/bassist Mike Kerr, 25. The duo make up Royal Blood, a U.K. product that marries the angst-ridden grunge of the early 1990s with the bluesbased rock of their forefathers and fellow countrymen, Led Zeppelin.

With punchy timing and effects pedals that make Kerr’s bass sound like a screaming electric guitar, it didn’t take long for those filing into their seats to take notice.

The two members of Royal Blood sound like four, and with catchy melodies, heartsurgeon precision, anticipatory build-ups and undeniable chemistry (see the band’s debut single, “Out of the Black,” for an example), these guys will be a welcome guest on stages worldwide for years to come.

VOICES

LOCAL

Making a big change isn’t a one-day thing So the other day I received an email from local merchants who shared their initial experiences with trying to make a change in their business based on some of the information they had found in my previous columns.

They were particularly focused on creating a positive work environment where people felt empowered and respected, and where customers felt appreciated. Their goal was to reduce turnover of staff and increase customer loyalty. They knew that if they really wanted to experience different results, the changes would have to start at the top, meaning the ownership would have to change the way they ran the business.

I love reading the emails that you all send in, and as I began reading this particular email I was initially so encouraged by the owners’ intent to truly make a change. That feeling of encouragement was quickly replaced with concern as I continued to read the rest of the story.

You see, they took the first step in deciding they wanted to change. They even identified the things they wanted to change and improve. The ownership even started to demonstrate a new attitude fueled by a positive outlook and an even more positive attitude.

They shared with me that they even stopped using curse words in the business to try and clean up everyone’s colorful use of language.

In the words of the owner, the problem was that, “This whole positive approach just doesn’t work. We tried it, and it just doesn’t

work.” Sadly the rest of the email spoke to the fact that employee turnover was higher than ever and they felt like they were treading water with customers and maybe even losing some of their business. So the final question in the email was this, “So now that we know the positive approach doesn’t work, what other bright ideas do you have?” A little snarky, a little sarcastic, but I sensed they really

wanted help.

As we exchanged emails and had a chance to speak by telephone I was able to find out what had really happened. They tried the positive approach for only one day. That’s right, one day. At the first sign of conflict or interaction with an employee or customer where things went bad, they immediately reverted to their old habits and comfort zone of responding negatively and even a little, or maybe a lot, in a combative way.

If we are to experience true change in anything that we do, we cannot give up or give in at the very first challenge that comes our way. We have to be committed to the change we want to see and experience in our per-

sonal and our professional lives. It took those business owners 15 years to build a company and a culture filled with adversity and conflict, and they expected a change to happen in one day. How many people could say the same thing about a relationship they are in where it is based on adversity, negativity and conflict?

The same thing would hold true: A quick change without a commitment to change and a commitment to results would end poorly, with both sides giving up.

Habits are hard to break, sometimes we are so set in our ways that we become hard to change. And many of us may have tried for a day, or maybe even a week, to make a change and just like our business owners, we gave up or caved in at the first sign of trouble or difficulty. If we want to truly change something in our lives or something about ourselves, we must make a commitment to that change.

How about you? Can you look beyond the events and circumstances of today to see a better tomorrow for yourself? Are you able to be committed to the change you want to see and experience? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can make that level of commitment, it really will be a better than good week.

Clear memories of a song that wasn’t John Ely was wearing braces on April 6, 1963.

That’s important, because it’s one of the reasons why what happened that day was the subject of a 31-month long FBI investigation.

Ely and his friends went to 411 SW 13th Ave. in Portland, Oregon.

(There is a plaque at the site today.)

Money exchanged hands. Fifty dollars.

Then Ely and his friends recorded a song.

“Blue eye, blue eye, oh baby, a wig and a gnome.”

What Ely and the Kingsmen did that day was record the most misheard song lyrics in music history.

The song was “Louie Louie.”

Ely died this year. He was 71 and still living in Oregon.

Because of the braces on his teeth, and the studio’s crude recording techniques, it’s impossible to understand what Ely is saying.

We all thought that he was saying something about a sailor (he was) and a girl (he was) having sex (he wasn’t).

WSAI-AM Cincinnati sent me the lyrics in 1963.

It’s actually a harmless song that was written in 1955 by Richard Berry.

Berry had been influenced by Chuck Berry’s “Havana Moon.”

The lyrics refer to a Jamaican sailor returning home to the island to be reunited with his girlfriend.

“Blue eye, blue eye, oh no, a wig and a goat.”

The song eventually spent 16 weeks on the Billboard Top 100, after it was discovered on the East Coast when a Boston DJ featured it on his “Worst Record of the Week” program.

The night before the Kingsmen Craig Marshall Smith recorded the song, QUIET they performed a DESPERATION 90-minute version at a local club.

The rudimentary production of the record makes it sound like a live recording.

Ely said that the microphone was several feet over his head, and that he had to stand on his toes, lean back and shout to be heard over the instruments.

When Paul Revere and the Raiders heard the song, they rushed out their own version, and for a while they were charting side by side.

(Paul Revere Dick died in 2014.)

The Kingsmen recorded the song in one take. It’s two minutes and forty-five seconds long.

The band probably went home that night and had no idea what they had just done.

There have been other misunderstood songs.

Notably “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.”

The story is that Iron Butterfly’s lead singer was drunk or had a hangover, and couldn’t articulate “In the Garden of Eden.”

The full-length version is over 17 minutes long. Usually just the shortened version was played, but now and then a station would play all of it.

It took Brian Wilson eight months to record and edit “Good Vibrations.”

I admire the song, but I don’t get good vibrations from it. It’s overproduced, like “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

I get much more enjoyment out of “Louie Louie.”

Maybe it helps because I know the story behind it.

Maybe it helps because of the timing. The Beatles were right around the corner.

Those were powerful days, listening to Top 40 radio, and trying to figure out who I was.

The FBI investigation was a waste of time.

It ended without prosecution.

There is nothing obscene in the song, but the drummer admitted years later that he said a bleep (at 0:54). He fumbled a drumstick.

Times have changed. The FBI would have been all over Nicki Minaj if she had been recording back then. What a mouth on that girl.

“Blue eye, blue eye, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, a wig and a comb.”

Canine athletes need special care, too Many of us with active and outdoorsy lifestyles have dogs that likewise are active and outdoorsy. It’s common to see people walking, running, hiking and playing fetch with their dogs. Many ranchers have herding dogs to help manage cattle and sheep. Gamebird hunters likewise take their working dogs on excursions.

Other people compete with their canine athletes in agility, herding, field trials, disc contests —even dock jumping.

Just as human athletes face risk of injury, our canine companions may cope with injuries as a result of strenuous activity and athletic competition. For this reason, the American Veterinary Medical Association in 2010 began officially recognizing the field of sports medicine and rehabilitation, with specialties in both small animal and equine veterinary care. The AVMA recognition means veterinarians may train in the field — and may gain board certification in providing specialty care.

This new veterinary field aims to prevent,

diagnose and treat injury by promoting exGUEST pertise in the structural, physiological, medical COLUMN and surgical needs of athletic animals, and in the restoration of normal form and function after injury or illness.

Here at Colorado State University, we have specialists in both small animal and equine sports medicine and rehabilitation; we have seen fast-growing interest in these veterinary services among dog and horse owners with active and athletic animals.

The related specialty of veterinary orthopaedics has been around for a long time.

Small animal orthopaedists — just like those in human medicine — treat musculoskeletal injuries, such as bone fractures and ligament injuries, and perform joint replacements for arthritic joints.

Small animal sports medicine adds the focus of injury and arthritis prevention; this is especially important for the canine athlete,

Dr. Felix Duerr

since it is difficult to restore full function once an injury has occurred. If an injury occurs, however, small animal rehabilitation helps restore function as quickly as possible, and as close to normal as possible.

If you have an active dog or a competitive canine athlete, we suggest the following steps to help prevent musculoskeletal injury and disease: (You’ll probably notice that these are among the same tips that would be provided for human athletes.)

• Keep your dog’s body condition very lean.

Ligaments and joints are more stressed in overweight dogs, and hence are more prone to injury. Ask your veterinarian about how to assess your dog’s weight.

• Condition your dog appropriately for activities, events or competitions. It’s a good idea to provide a consistent, even daily, exercise or training regimen that resembles your dog’s “job.”

• Cross-train. Perform different types of activities to keep training interesting for your Pets continues on Page 10

10 The Independent • The Herald LETTER TO THE EDITOR Let’s leave the federal government behind In a recent guest column, Sen. Bennet wrote about fixing the No Child Left Behind Act.” Wouldn’t it be better to abolish the U.S. Department of Education and return all education to state and local governments? The U.S. government was originally one of a small number of limited powers, with education not being one of them.

dog and to help him use different muscle groups.

• Make sure to provide a warm-up before physically demanding and explosive activities. For example, before rigorous ball-fetching, let your dog trot around or jog with her.

er to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes. This didn’t give Congress the power to regulate trade within a state. However, among other wrong Supreme Court decisions, the court ruled in 1942 that although farmer Roscoe Filburn raised wheat on his farm for his own use, his wheat production affected interstate commerce. This was because by not having to buy wheat on the open interstate market he was affect-

ing interstate commerce.

Since this ruling, the federal government has seen fit to stick its nose into all kinds of local affairs that it originally didn’t have any legal constitutional authority to do. One of the original justifications for creating the U.S. Department of Education was that having an educated population affected interstate commerce. The federal government seems to now take the position that most everything can affect interstate commerce.

With such an outlook, the federal government doesn’t have any legal limits and can control anything. Let’s follow the original Constitution by paring the federal government down to only its listed powers and returning all other powers to the states and the people where they belong! I’m sick of a federal government that can meddle in almost every aspect of my life.

Paul Hatfield Castle Rock

We always hope that preventive steps will keep injuries at bay. But if your dog has a problem, it’s essential to recognize it early. This is a key to restoring your dog to full function.

Keep an eye on the following activities to identify problems that could warrant the attention of an expert in veterinary sports medicine: • Monitor your dog for subtle changes in performance. This includes slower times, knocking bars, not retrieving, or simply not wanting to play as much. Most dogs will not show obvious signs of pain with mild injuries — so it is important to watch for very subtle symptoms.

• Watch your dog standing up and

laying down. Stiffness or trouble getting up could be a sign of injury; some dogs demonstrate these symptoms only after a period of rest.

• Watch your dog for any weight-shifting, or favoring a leg, when standing. In a square stand, most dogs will put even weight on the legs.

• Palpate your dog’s muscles and joints. Check for swelling, pain or any difference between the left and right leg; observe whether joints can be moved through full range of motion.

• Watch for an up-and-down movement of the head or the pelvis. It is an indication of lameness if such a movement is asymmetric, or unbalanced.

Demanding work and athletic competition — whether among people or dogs — require attention to health and the potential for injury. When it comes to your canine athlete or active companion, veterinary specialists can help your dog maintain or return to top performance.

Littleton City Council meeting, August 18

Action

What they said

Littleton City Council agreed to place five questions on the November ballot that ask voters to approve some changes to the city’s charter. Added to the five council passed during its Aug. 4 meeting, voters will decide 10 questions.

Added on Aug. 18: • Whether the sale of water rights should be approved by a vote of the people, or just by city council • Whether franchisees must pay permit and inspection fees, as opposed to giving council the option to waive them • Whether to create a “periodic” charter-review committee • Whether to delete charter sections pertaining to moving and maintaining transportation tracks, as those matters are now governed by state and federal law • Whether to delete the section that governed the city’s first election in 1959

City Manager Michael Penny reminded the councilmembers that though it’s been amended over the years, the charter has never undergone a complete review. It was approved in 1959 to establish Littleton as a home-rule city, in part to escape potential annexation by Denver.

He also noted that council had in front of it five recommendations that passed through the advisory committee unanimously, despite its diverse makeup. In late 2013, each of the seven sitting councilmembers appointed two people to the review committee.

Council unanimously passed a resolution to work with Arapahoe Community College to place a pedestrian crossing signal at the intersection of Church Avenue and Curtice Street. The state Department of Higher Education will pay about $7,800 for the light, and the city will install and maintain it.

The college and the city both conducted studies that indicate a need for the traffic light to improve safety, said ACC Police Chief Joseph Morris.

Sterling Ranch gets help from Littleton Council unanimously supports deal on wastewater service

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com In a move that could be seen as a mending of the fences with the city’s new neighbor, Littleton City Council agreed, unanimously and without discussion, on Aug. 18 to jump-start Sterling Ranch’s wastewater system.

“We’ve started down the road of a wastewater system,” Mary Kay Provaznik,

SAU 2x3

utilities director at Dominion Water and Sanitation District, told city council during a study session on June 23. “Our plant is operational now, it’s just more efficient to use yours with so few homes.”

Sterling Ranch broke ground on June 6, west of Santa Fe Drive and south of Chatfield Reservoir. It will eventually be home to more than 30,000 people. The first project, Providence Village, includes 800 homes that will take a few years to complete and sell.

Dominion will be the water and wastewater service for the entire Sterling Ranch community. It kicked in funds to double

the size of the Roxborough Water and Sanitation District’s new facility, still in the design stages, in exchange for use of Roxborough’s current one.

Dominion is offering to pay Littleton $200 per home per year for start-up and emergency service, with a minimum of $400,000. It’s only for wastewater services, not water, and Provaznik expects the arrangement to last just three or four years.

Back in 2010, when Sterling Ranch founders Harold and Diane Smethills and Jack Hoagland were asking Littleton to annex the 3,400-acre project in Douglas County, estimates were that the city stood

SAU 2x3

to make roughly $65 million from tap fees alone.

But the majority of the council at the time was opposed to annexation, saying the cost of added infrastructure necessary to accommodate it would outweigh any financial benefits. The Sterling Ranch team ultimately pulled the request.

The same council soon after made a controversial deal with Denver Water that essentially nixed any future annexation.

In exchange for a one-time payment of $2.6 million, council agreed the water company would not have to serve any new areas brought into the city.

Smartphones play havoc with common courtesy

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Karen Hardy’s family has a no-phonesduring-dinner rule.

Lorrie Grove’s family has old-fashioned game nights in which they unplug and spend time playing board games together.

In Ginger Delgado’s home, phones are put away in the car to allow time for conversation.

According to a 2015 study by the Pew Research Center, 64 percent of American adults now own a smartphone, up from 35 percent in the spring of 2011. With the use of technology and mobile devices now ubiquitous in American society, many struggle to find the balance of appropriate etiquette when it comes to technology use.

The question faced by many, particularly parents, educators and business owners: Should steps be taken to ensure more defined boundaries of use?

“Technology has all but destroyed (interpersonal communication),” said Anthonette Klinkerman, chief etiquette officer of Courtesy Bootcamp, her Castle Pines operation that teaches “a crash course in courtesy.”

“On the positive side, it’s beneficial to see, let’s say, a Facebook post on some event in a person’s life, and when you see him or her in person mention you saw it and ask follow-up questions,” Klinkerman said. “During my work with the city of Golden, the chief of police had mentioned his concerns over new cadets and their lack of social skills. People use their phones as shields, especially teenagers. If you watch carefully, they will even hold it out in front of them to block any actual interaction.”

Lost in translation At restaurants, on trains and buses, and even in cars, people now spend hours per day with their heads down staring at the screens on their devices.

According to the Pew Research Center, 93 percent of 18- to 29-year-old smartphone owners use their phones to avoid boredom, and 47 percent of young smartphone owners use their phones to avoid interacting with the people around them — roughly three times the proportion of

‘This person made time in their day to have lunch with or go out on a date with you, not your phone. Put it away.’

Anthonette Klinkerman, Chief etiquette officer of Courtesy Bootcamp older smartphone owners who say they do so.

It’s now common to see two people sitting feet away from each other both staring into their personal device rather than interacting. Is that rude or the new normal?

According to Klinkerman, a live person should always take precedence over the digital world.

“This person made time in their day to have lunch with or go out on a date with you, not your phone. Put it away. And never leave it sitting on the surface of the table,” Klinkerman said. “That little device on a tabletop has become, to me, a very visual sign of disrespect because we have been trained like Pavlov’s dogs to respond to the screen illuminating.”

According to Pew, 67 percent of people use their phones to share pictures, videos or commentary about events happening in their community, with 35 percent of smartphone owners saying they do so frequently.

Tech in the workplace Mobile devices have become a necessity in work and business for many. From emails and texts to phone calls and shared documents, mobile devices have become vital tools of the business world.

But how much is too much when it comes to connectivity?

“We certainly expect a certain level of

etiquette with regard to technology and mobile devices,” said Jeff Cox, CEO of Digital Globe Services. “Our workforce is global and rarely is in the same place for very long. That means we are a mobiledependent organization. That means conversations across multiple time zones and languages at all hours of the day.

“With that said, when we are together in a room, virtually or otherwise, we expect people to participate and be in the moment. That means phones off, no texting or laptops, and adding value to the discussion.”

Klinkerman agreed that even in a work environment where people are using their devices for business, human beings deserve the respect of attention.

“All these people took time out of their day, whether by choice or not, to sit in a room with other humans in order to have human feedback,” Klinkerman said. “If the phone is how you do business, I assure you that there is very little of such importance that it cannot wait for 30 minutes while one concentrates on a meeting.”

She advises that if a meeting is planned for an extended period of time, a five-minute tech break is advisable to give people a chance to check their devices.

According to a 2014 study from Kansas State University that focused on 72 fulltime workers from various industries, employees only spend an average of 22 minutes out of an eight-hour workday playing

on their smartphones. Researchers also found that employees who take smartphone breaks are happier at the end of the workday.

Family time Mobile devices tend to stick with people throughout the day, whether at work, in the car, or even around the dinner table.

Many families now have scheduled unplugged time.

“We have a basket that all electronics and remotes to gaming and TV go into every night,” said Melanie Smith.

According to Pew, 46 percent of smartphone owners say their device is something “they couldn’t live without.”

“My daughter just started middle school last week at Castle Rock Middle School, and the teachers talked about unplugging at Back to School night,” said Delgado. “So we just started some new rules to limit the amount of time she spends on the iPad playing games. I allow her to play on the iPad only after her homework is done and only for a half hour at a time. Then she has a choice to either go outside, read a book or practice her dancing.”

Richelle McKim and her husband decided to buy their daughter a cell phone when she was 12 because they didn’t have a landline.

“We gave her the phone with conditions,” McKim said. “We use an app called Teen Safe on her phone. I can see everything she does on her phone — every text, email, Google search. Even her Snapchats we can see.”

In addition, they can automatically shut down her phone at 9:30 at night and not turn it on again until 7:30 in the morning.

Klinkerman said that in her opinion, toddlers under 2 shouldn’t to be exposed to electronic devices, but phones have become what the TV was back in the 1970s — the electronic babysitter.

“This generation of digital natives is so lacking in the ‘soft skills’ or ‘people skills’ that businesses desperately want employees to have that it keeps me very busy. People have to unplug in order to practice and develop those skills with real humans,” Klinkerman said. “There is a reason they call it paying attention — this is the strongest currency you have: your full, undivided attention.”

Larimer Square savior recalled in new book My former Denver Post colleague Mike McPhee has immortalized Dana Crawford, one of Denver’s true visionaries, in his just-released book “Dana Crawford — 50 Years Saving the Soul of a City.” Crawford is deservedly credited with saving Larimer Square, a once-crumbling block in Denver’s seedy lower downtown — long before former Denver Post columnist Dick Kreck dubbed the area LoDo. Larimer Square, one block of high-end boutiques and restaurants, will be forever beholden to Crawford’s vision, perseverance and forward thinking that turned it into one of the most sought-after addresses in the city.

The Melt comes to Colorado The Melt, a rapidly growing fast casual restaurant chain based in San Francisco, is moving into Colorado, marking its first expansion outside of the restaurant’s home state of California.

The chain’s first of five planned Colorado locations opened last week at Park Meadows mall, with four other Front Range locations set to open before the end of the year.

The Melt’s chef-inspired menu features 100 percent all-natural, wholesome and fresh ingredients to create an expansive offering of comfort food favorites such as: premium burgers, grilled cheese, fries, mac ‘n’ cheese and homemade soups,

along with wine and a selection of locally brewed Colorado beers. The Melt has emerged as a leader in the fast casual restaurant space, recently earning honors as one of FastCasual.com’s Top 50 Brands of 2015.

Along with the Park Meadows location, The Melt plans to open four additional metro Denver locations before this year is over, including: 16th and Champa, Denver; Village at the Peaks, Longmont; Southwest Plaza, west of Littleton; and Foothills Mall, Fort Collins.

Weisberg says adieu Glory Weisberg, the tiny woman who wields a big pen when writing about the movers, shakers and philanthropists in and around Greenwood Village for The Villager newspaper, abruptly retired after 30 years at the suburban paper.

Weisberg found the job opening in the Yellow Pages and called it “a match made in heaven.”

But why does want to retire now?

“I’m 73 and realized that being on my feet for at least 90 minutes, photographing honorees and committee chairs and members during reception/silent auction hours, then having dinner with up to 1,400 people in cold ballrooms, then listening to the nonprofit event program for another several hours was getting harder for me and for (husband) Dave as well,” Weisberg said via email. She added, “This was initially supposed to be a parttime position. I would have loved it going back to that, but at this age, it’s time to move on.”

Santa needs help pronto Nonprofit helps poor kids, but space is crucial requirement

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com For the past 23 years, the Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop has worked its magic at the Arapahoe County Extension building on South Datura Street in Littleton. Entirely volunteer operated, it has gathered, cleaned and repaired toys, games and books, making them ready for new young owners who otherwise might not have any Christmas gifts.

The building has been sold and the organization needs a personal Santa to help with an available space for the first two weeks in December. “We have experienced volunteers who can clean, display and distribute the thousands of toys we collect in just two weeks, but everything depends on our find-

ing a location soon,” said longtime co-chair Shirley Nixon.

“Because the Santa Claus Shop is a nonprofit, all-volunteer, donation-funded organization, it is looking for a benefactor who will donate the space in Littleton, Englewood or Sheridan,” said co-chair Lora Drose.

Site requirements are flexible, but include: a large space in a secure building that is handicapped-accessible and includes parking with night lighting, restrooms and utilities, in Englewood, Littleton or Sheridan.

In 2014, 2,400 Arapahoe County children received toys from the Santa Claus Shop, which has provided toys for the past 55 years. “We have followed every lead, but so far, nothing has panned out,” Drose said.

“We would appreciate any help community members can provide.” Email suggestions to: ArapahoeSantaShop@msn.com. For more information about the organization, visit: ArapahoeSantaShop.org.

Among the thousands of toys given out each year by the Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop, stuffed toys are very popular with the younger children. Courtesy photo

“La Cage aux Folles” plays through Sept. 6 at the Aurora Fox Theatre, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora.

Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $28/$20, 720-362-2697, ignitetheatre.com.

During a one-night fling years ago, Georges fathered a son, Jean-Michel (Darren Koehler), who was reared by the couple. He arrives home to announce that he’s getting married. And furthermore, he has invited girlfriend Anne (Valerie Igoe) and her conservative parents to dinner tomorrow.

Farce takes over as the son redecorates and asks that his actual mother be there instead of Albin, who has played that role all his life. The butler/maid, in assorted costumes, goes over the edge.

Interspersed are dance numbers, skillfully choreographed for the drag performers by Matthew Peters, and several strong musical numbers: “We Are What We Are,” “Song on the Sand,” “Look Over There,” for example. Voices are strong and distinctive and a message comes through without being preachy — “The Best of Times.”

This is a light, well-produced musical treat — perfect for a summer night.

‘Unfurl’ brings work of 25 artists together Artist/guest curator Mia Bergeron has invited 25 artists — both gallery artists and guests — from the U.S. and Europe to create works of art without boundaries for a show called “Unfurl” that runs through Sept. 21 at Gallery 1261 Delaware, Denver. This gallery is known for excellent craftsmanship and works that are usually in the contemporary realism category.

It should be interesting to see how these artists respond. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Tuesdays through Saturdays at the gallery, which — as its name implies — is at 1261 Delaware St., Denver. 303-571-1261, gallery1261.com.

Walking into the Aurora Fox Theatre, one knows something festive is about to happen because the curtain on the stage is shimmery silver and looks like it’s ready to dance.

“La Cage aux Folles” is a musical based on a French film, a musical film and a nonmusical second movie (“Birdcage”). In its present form, it won six Tony awards when it opened in 1983 and even more Tonys for revivals in New York and London. In other words, it’s just a charming piece when wellpresented — which it is in Ignite Theatre’s production at the Aurora Fox through Sept.

6.

Veteran director Bernie Cardell, who recently passed the 100-show mark as actor and director, is adept at bringing out the humor and the sentiment in the well-written script.

The eight-piece band, directed by Blake Nawa’a, had a good score, and the balance between instruments and voices was right.

Lighting worked well and costumes and wigs were at times outrageous — but that was deliberate — and they were well-fitted and accessorized.

Readers probably are familiar with the story of Georges (Jim Hitzke) and Albin “Zaza” (John White), a gay couple, together 20 years plus, who run a drag nightclub in St. Tropez.

Taste of Colorado features food, music, more Four-day event returns to center of downtown Denver

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Many years ago, Denver business owners invented the Festival of Mountain and Plain, with a focus on local history, to lure folks to the downtown area. It has been revived for today’s outdoor-loving, food- and entertainment-loving Coloradans as the 32nd annual A Taste of Colorado, held over the Labor Day weekend, Sept. 4-7.

The Friday-through-Monday event invites people of all ages to four days of festivities at the Denver Civic Center to experience diverse cultural traditions, food, music and arts. Admission is free.

The Main Stage will feature Morris Day and The Time at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 5. Day played a role in development of the Twin Cities dance and club sound of the 1980s as a founding member of Prince’s band, The Time. In 1985, he launched his solo debut, then rejoined The Time in 1988. He tours regularly.

Main Stage will also present Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers at 5 p.m. Monday.

Hornsby has collaborated with Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Stevie Nicks — and played over 100 shows with The Grateful Dead. The rock band Kansas will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday on the Main Stage and Seattle-based singer, songwriter and spoken word artist Mary Lambert will perform at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

IF YOU GO A Taste of Colorado will fill Civic Center in downtown Denver Sept.

4 to 7. Hours: Sept. 4, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Sept. 5 and 6, 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Sept. 7, 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

More than 50 Colorado restaurants and food establishments will offer a variety of small portions/tapas to full meals. The Fine Dining Area will host some of Denver’s finest restaurants, and opportunities to try out international treats at booths should intrigue adventurous eaters: Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Thai, Greek, Italian, Mexican and more …

Reality gets major overhaul at gallery IF YOU GO “Altered Reality” runs until Sept. 19 at the Museum of Outdoor Art’s indoor gallery on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. Admission is free. 303-8060444, moaonline.org.

“Ya-Te-Veo,” a fantasy garden scene with strange inhabitants, was created for “Alternate Reality” at the Museum of Outdoor Arts by master teacher and puppeteer Cory Gilstrap and Kamela Preswaela. It fills the back Gallery at the MOA’s Indoor Gallery in Englewood. Photos by Sonya Ellingboe

In 1965, Helen Burns called friends together and founded what is now known as the Denver Lyric Opera Guild. (There was at that time a Denver Lyric Opera.) The objective from the start was “to support aspiring young opera singers and to further the education of the guild’s members in appreciation and knowledge of opera,” according to Marie Belew Wheatley, the guild’s vice president for public relations.

Helen Burns’ daughter, Marcia Hoehler, is still a guild member today. She spoke to the group recently about her mother and the founding of the organization.

Four early officers were Mrs. Harry Whitaker, Mrs. T. Mitchell Burns (Helen), Mrs. Herman Seep and Mrs. D.C. Reineman, who were pictured in the 1966 society pages of the Rocky Mountain News in the first year of operation.

President for the next year is Richard Brononski. He and his board hope to expand the membership throughout the metro area. There are

At the entry is a window box that is growing upright knife blades in neat rows.

One can’t help but laugh.

On arrival, the viewer is greeted by a dreamy three-dimensional bank of clouds in a diorama. Beyond that, one sees an organic assortment of white “Seablooms” that crawl from floor to ceiling. A humorous upsidedown ladder, paintbrush, rags and

paint can speak to a home-repair project gone astray. “Hard Kandy” is a large panel with a bright bouquet constructed from hundreds of candies. Beyond that is a group of life-sized, intent-looking human figures in action. The installation is called “Immersion.”

The 2015 interns are Aziza Ahmadi, Kelsey Dickinson, Bailey Dunning, Austin Howlett, Maggi Johnson, Luke C.F. Lemon, Georges Loewenguth, Lyndie Mae, Daniela Marin, Karel Moyer and Jesse Nickell.

12 interns go through program at museum located in Englewood

Twelve young artists were led through the “Design and Build” process this summer at the Museum of Outdoor Arts and created a highly imaginative exhibit called “Altered Reality,” which opened Aug. 8 and runs through Sept. 19 in the MOA’s indoor gallery at the Englewood Civic Center. The exhibit includes individual pieces that line the entry and a collection of collaborative installations.

The Design and Build program began in 1991 with high school students and has since moved to college students and some recent graduates.

Interns spend eight intense weeks learning the processes for creating public art via teamwork. They use problem-solving related to a particular site, budgeting and planning, proposal writing, maquette making, construction and installation. They receive a stipend and in some cases, college credit.

“Optical illusions are transfixed and the mind is played upon in `Altered Reality.’ The exhibition twists everyday perceptions, disrupts expectations and slants idealism.

After all, what really is reality?” says a group statement.

In addition to student work, master teacher Cory Gilstrap, who spe-

currently about 250 members, who range from Arvada to Douglas County, Aurora to Lakewood.

A special anniversary event is planned on Sept. 12 at Lakewood Country Club: a gala with cocktails, dinner and opera entertainment.

(Shuttle from the parking lot.) Guests and new members are welcome.

Tickets cost $90 each. Reservation deadline, Sept. 4. Checks to Jean Krusemark, 4845 S. Joplin St., Aurora, CO 80015-1715.

The first Opera on Tuesday luncheon will be on Oct. 6 at Denver Country Club, with program at 11 a.m. and lunch at noon. Register at DenverLyricOperaGuild.org by Oct. 1. Again, guests and new members are welcome.

The organization’s popular Opera on Tuesday luncheons began early in the guild’s history. Held at area country clubs and event venues, each one presents an opera-oriented program with one or more artists, expanding members’ horizons. The April Opera on Tuesday is a favorite, with the contest winners performing and talking about how they will use their awards.

(Auditioning in New York City, for example — or furthering their education.)

While the Denver Lyric Opera Company no longer exists, the or-

ganization kept the name and continues its good work. Originally, the guild assisted with the annual Metropolitan Opera competition, but then started to host its own yearly Competition for Colorado Singers as membership grew. DLOG’s Competition started in 1985 when Greenwood Village resident Rosemary Priester was president. The competition was recommended by four women, including Shirley Smith of Cherry Hills Village, who served two terms as president.

There were 38 participants in the Spring 2015 competition, held at Bethany Lutheran Church.

Six winners were announced, plus four honorable mentions and four Certificates of Merit. Competitors were from University of Colorado, University of Denver, Colorado State University, Opera Colorado’s Young Artists program, Central City Opera and Opera Theatre of the Rockies (Colorado Springs). DLOG also gives grants to colleges and universities for vocal scholarships and to apprentice programs in Denver, Greeley, Central City, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs. Awards have grown from a total of $5,150 in 1985 to $31,500 on 2015. The combined total of grants and competition awards over the years is well over $1 million.

PART 3 OF 3

In the high school ranks, as in the NFL and NCAA, footballs are required to be inflated between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch. Photo illustration

No pressure to change protocol High school officials give little weight to NFL deflation controversy

TEAMS AT A GLANCE Littleton Lions Coach - Kurt Krantz

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

2014 Record - 5-5 (4-1)

In the Colorado high school ranks, officials will continue to judge the inflation level of footballs by feel.

George Demetriou, Colorado High School Activities Association rules interpreter, doesn’t believe there will be any extra awareness paid to the issue in the wake of the NFL’s Deflategate controversy.

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots allegedly played with underinflated footballs during last season’s AFC championship game, leading to an investigation.

“The preference for the softer ball for the kicking game has been around since the beginning of football and that will continue, but I don’t think that we’ll see anything different because of what happened with the Patriots,” Demetriou said.

Demetriou explained that each team presents two balls for use, and game officials squeeze the balls to feel if they are underinflated or overinflated.

Some officials might have a pressure gauge, but officials reportedly can get a feel for the footballs that reveals just as much as a gauge.

The National Federation of High School Associations, the NCAA and NFL have the same standard of footballs being inflated between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch.

Bert Borgmann, CHSAA assistant commissioner, hasn’t seen any controversies over the inflation of footballs in Colorado.

“The NFHS protocol is similar to the NFL’s, and balls are checked prior to each game,” he said. “In the time I have been here, I have never had an issue with it, and Harry (Waterman, an assistant commissioner who oversees football) said he has not experienced an issue in his eight years over football.

If there is an issue, the officials will simply pull the ball out of the game.”

Jaron Cohen, Ponderosa’s coach, revealed that only once has he had to inflate a football.

“Referees check two game balls, squeeze them and say either let air out, put some in or you’re fine,” said Cohen. “It’s not very regulated, just a squeeze test, and maybe once in my career I’ve been told to put some air in.”

Douglas County coach Gene Hill said he’s had a couple footballs rejected by game officials.

“We’ve had a couple balls kicked out for being underinflated,” said Hill. “We don’t do it on purpose.

It just happens. My son is the ball boy, and they’ll come up to him and say, ‘Hey, tell your coach fill the balls up.’”

“We have an equipment guy that does it. They don’t check the air pressure itself, they just squeeze it, and if they feel like it is too low they will give it back to us to fill it up.”

Legacy coach Wayne Voorhees said he never even thought about the inflation of footballs until Deflategate surfaced.

Players to Watch - Noah McGhee, Sr., RB/CB (1,181 yards); Aron Pino, Sr., DL/G (66 tackles, 6 sacks); Ben Capra, Jr., LB/FB (26 tackles, 3 ints); David Bieber, Sr. , OL/DL

League - 4A Plains

2015 Outlook — The Lions overcame a 1-4 start to have a good season in 2014 and leading rusher McGhee returns. “If we stay healthy and we stay eligible we have tons of potential,” said Krantz. “We have to find a quarterback. I’ve been in this sport 40 years and McGhee is probably the best running back I’ve coached. We have some kids transfer from Englewood and they could help. We fight numbers but we’re growing.”

Heritage Eagles Coach — Tyler Knoblock

Cherry Creek quarterback Joe Caplis, shown during a playoff game last season, likes a firm football. “You can spin the ball easier and throw the ball harder, especially at altitude,” he said. File photo “We always make sure they are pretty firm because I believe it is easier to throw, but I have never actually looked at the pressure listed on the ball or even measured as we have inflated them,” he said.

“I doubt anyone at the high school level would even worry about it. As always, like a (Bill) Belichick, someone that wants to utilize the rules will always try and test them.”

Quarterbacks are divided in the preference of footballs inflated to the maximum or the minimum.

But most receivers favor softer footballs.

“If it’s softer, it is easier to catch,” said Douglas County wide receiver Ryan Sayre.

Cherry Creek quarterback Joe Caplis and Arapahoe’s Pete Mitchell desire a harder ball, but Valor Christian’s Dylan McCaffrey and Marc Muma of Legend like softer balls.

“You can spin the ball easier and throw the ball harder, especially at altitude,” said Caplis. “When you are playing in Colorado you have this wind that comes through in the fall, and if there is less air in the ball, the wind is just going to knock the ball down. The receivers get a little mad, but at least the ball is getting to them.”

Muma favors minimum inflation.

“I feel I can grip it a little better than a harder ball,” said Muma. “It’s easier to catch if the ball is softer. If it’s hard and we’re throwing it hard, it’s just going to bounce off their hands and maybe a softer ball gives them some cushion.”

2014 Record - 7-4 (5-1) League - 5A Continental - South Players to Watch - Tim Pless, Sr., WR (1,039 yards, 14 TDs; Daejour Haynes, Sr., RB/DB ( 5 rush TDs, 3 interceptions; Chase Hansen, Jr., QB (1,808 yards, 19 TDs; Jack Brouillette, Sr., LB (69 tackles) ; Anthony Gray, Sr., LB (78 tackles).

2015 Outlook — The Eagles will have a team top heavy with one of the biggest senior classes in recent years. “Continuity among the coaching staff and players will be a huge benefit this season after successfully breaking in together last year,” said Knoblock. “Depth as skilled positions and increase in size on the line will be two other factors that should produce big results.”

Arapahoe Warriors Coach - Mike Campbell 2014 Record 4-6 (4-2) League - 5A South Metro Players to Watch - Peter Mitchell, Sr., QB (1,486 total yards, 25 total touchdowns); Nick Thompson, Sr, RB (1,263 total yards, 13 touchdowns); Luke Morrone, Sr., LB (64 tackles); Charlie Leonard, Sr., LB;

Ray Haas, Sr., DB (3 ints); Conner Williams, Sr., WR. (25 catches, 351 yards).

2015 Outlook — The Warriors are focused on getting off to a good start with an offense designed to pound the football and avoid turnovers. “We’re going to be big,” said Campbell. “We’re not real fast but we’ve got some big kids on the offensive line and our running backs will be strong. We want to pound the football and throw it when we want.”

Cherry Creek Bruins Coach - Dave Logan 2014 Record - 11-3 (4-1) League - 5A Centennial Players to Watch - Jonathan Van Diest, Jr, DL (62 tackles, 11 sacks); David Imola, Sr., DL (74 tackles); Santino Marchial, Jr., LB (77 tackles, 3 ints); Joe Caplis, Sr., QB (1,335 yards passing); Steven O’Malley, Sr. LB. 2015 Outlook — The defending state champions have only three starters returning on offense but one of them is quarterback Caplis.

The Bruins have six starters back on defense. “We’ve had a very good eight-week program this summer with great participation and work ethic,” said Logan. “That is essential in getting mentally and physically prepared for the upcoming season.”

Englewood Pirates Coach - Jay Graves 2014 Record - 2-8 (1-6) League - 3A Colorado 7 Players to Watch — Kevin Mahler, Sr., FB/LB (110 tackles); Kyle Robideau, Sr., DL (70 tackles, 8 sacks); Daryl Culbreath, Jr., DB (4 ints); Iziah Kovach, Sr., OL/DL; Ben McFarland, Sr., OL/DL 2015 Outlook — The Pirates have 39 players out for the team and many of the starters will be twoway players. A lot of the success this season will depend on how Cecil Ondack develops as a quarterback. He is a senior basketball/ baseball player who will be playing varsity football for the first time.

Women’s Pro Challenge rolls to first finish

Race could mark biggest crowd of any female cycling event in U.S. history

By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com The fifth annual USA Pro Challenge will always be remembered as the year women pro cyclists took part in the state’s biggest professional bike race.

“This race alone has made my comeback worth it,” said Kristin Armstrong, overall winner of the inaugural Women’s USA Pro Challenge.

“This is historical. I’m so happy and proud to be part of this moment.

I’m happy to do whatever I can do to help grow this sport.”

Making the stage and jersey wins even sweeter for the riders, this year’s prize purse was identical to that of the traditionally much-betterpaid men.

Stage 1 of the women’s race took place Aug. 21, and was an 8.5-mile time trial in Breckenridge. Armstrong won the stage with a 1.2-second lead over Team Twenty16 teammate Allie Dragoo.

The next day, the women raced 58 miles from Loveland to Fort Collins, and Stage 2 was won by Tayler Wiles of DNA Cycling.

Stage 3 on Aug. 23 was won by Coryn Rivera of UnitedHealthcare Professional. She was awarded the green jersey for the tour’s best sprinter.

The women raced a 1.5-mile criterium loop in downtown Golden.

The official starting line was at 13th Street and Washington Avenue, and started off going up a hill described as “just amazing, that extra little oomph,” by Strava Most Courageous Rider jersey winner Amanda Miller of Visit Dallas. The women also endured two sharp turns on the course.

“If you weren’t entertained by that, then you shouldn’t be coming to bike races,” said Sean Petty,

Women’s USA Pro Challenge race director.

The women put in a great three days of racing, Petty said, adding that seeing the turnout of excited fans supporting the inaugural women’s race brought tears to his eyes.

Dan Dwyer, co-chair of Golden’s organizing committee for the USA Pro Challenge, said he knew Golden would deliver an enthusiastic crowd.

“According to race organizers,” he said, “the final women’s stage in Golden was quite possibly the largest attended women’s race in U.S. cycling history.”

It was amazing to watch the riders, said Susan Mroz of Denver, who came to race day in Golden to support the Amy D. Foundation team.

“Hopefully this is the start for more visibility in the racing circuit,” Mroz said.

Naked Women’s Racing teammates Melissa Langdon of Arvada and Natalia Ptas of Denver came to cheer on a teammate competing in the USA Pro Challenge, Kimberley Turner.

“Women’s racing is getting bigger every year,” Ptas said. “It’s awesome that they’re promoting women’s racing.”

At a Stage 3 press conference, USA Pro Challenge Queen of the Mountain jersey winner Mara Abbott of Amy D. Foundation said Aug. 21-23 would count as one of the most amazing weekends of her life.

“I’m so grateful to have been able to compete this week, but if we want this to become something more, then it has to keep going,” Abbott said.

She encourages everyone who enjoyed the race to continue supporting a women’s race in the USA Pro Challenge.

“Colorado and my family and my friends are the things closest to my heart, and to be able to actually compete here as a part of that is unbelievable,” Abbott said.

USA Pro Challenge women’s race winners take to the podium to receive awards after the third and final day of the inaugural competition. The jersey winners included Kristin Armstrong in yellow for the overall win; Coryn Rivera in the green jersey for winning the sprint competition; Mara Abbott in red for the Queen of the Mountains award for being the best climber; Abigail Mickey in the aqua jersey for being the best young rider; and Amanda Miller in the orange most courageous rider jersey.

Golden finish to USA Pro Challenge Dennis and BMC cap off successful campaign

By Glenn Wallace gwallace@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the final day of competition for the state’s biggest bike race, Rohan Dennis held on to his overall lead and helped show just how dominant he and the rest of Team BMC had been.

After seven days of racing hundreds of miles over some of the highest terrain the field of 158 world-class cyclists have ever seen, Dennis of Australia still had enough energy left to break off the front of the pack and try for a sprint win in Denver.

The move electrified the crowd in Golden’s Parfet Park, where spectators could watch the Pro Challenge finale on a jumbo screen.

Dennis was quickly caught up by the main pack as it surged for the line.

At the very end, it was between John Murphy of Team United Health Care, and Boulder’s Taylor Phinney (BMC) to see who could cross the line first, and Murphy had the edge.

“The run in, it was always going to be a fast and furious one,” Kiel Reijen (USA) of UnitedHealthcare said after the race. “It was great that John was able to finish it off. We knew he was the fastest guy today.”

The day’s race started in Golden, looping around North Table Mountain,

before making the iconic climb up Lookout Mountain’s switchbacks, then plunging down to the plains,through Wheat Ridge and Lakewood, before ending in a series of laps around a downtown circuit, and a sprint finish.

Even before the slopes of Lookout, a breakaway had formed, eventually getting as much as 1:45 ahead of the main group.

Dennis, riding for the dominant Team BMC, looked comfortable, sitting near the front of the peloton for much of the day, even as the last two breakaway riders survived until caught on the final circuit lap.

Brent Bookwalter (BMC) and Rob Britton (Team Smartstop) rounded out the overall leaders podium for the men.

BMC was clearly the team of the tour. In addition to the one, two finish, the team also added stage wins by Bookwalter, and Phinney as well as the team title — all this despite not bringing the 2014 USA Pro Challenge defending champion Tejay van Garderen to the competition.

The green sprint jersey went to Reijen of UnitedHealthcare. Dennis was also given the King of the Mountains jersey. Geoghegan Hart Tao from the Axeon squad was the best finishing rider under 23, earning him the Best Young Rider jersey. The most aggressive rider award went to Javier Megias of Team Novo Nordisk.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUG. 24, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A relaxed mood early in the week could give way to high-temperature disputes. The Aries Lamb should resist being pulled into heated quarrels that could really singe your wool.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A pileon of personal matters this week might seem too overwhelming to deal with. But handling them on a one-by-one basis could have you out from under it by the weekend.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A friend might need your good advice regarding a matter.

Be supportive. But unless you can be absolutely sure you have all the facts, be careful about any suggestions you might be asked to offer.
