LPS asking voters to OK bond for new buildings Largest-ever measure would rebuild aging school facilities, increase taxes

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Public Schools will ask voters to approve a nearly $300 million bond in November, aiming to begin a long-term effort to rebuild a district whose buildings date back to

the baby boom.

The bond, which if approved would be more than triple the size of the previous largestever bond of $85 million in 2002, would be earmarked for numerous largescale projects: replacing Newton Middle School with a new building, rebuilding and reopening the long-shuttered Ames Elementary School, consolidating Highland and Franklin elementary schools in a new building

on the Franklin site, establishing a Career and Technical Education center in a newly acquired building beside Littleton High School, and a laundry list of smaller projects across the district.

The Littleton Public Schools Board of Education voted unanimously in favor of asking voters to approve the bond at their Aug.23 meeting.

The plan is the culmination of a year and a half of study by the

district’s Long-Range Planning Committee, said Superintendent Brian Ewert, who said the big picture is to begin a long process of carrying Littleton Public Schools generations into the future.

“Our buildings have been well maintained, but they’re at the end of their lifespan,” Ewert said. “It’s going to take us 30 years to address this, but if we don’t start now, it just kicks the can down the road.”

Arapahoe County seeks 400 temporary workers for election

MY NAME IS

CHUCK JACKSON

Blacksmith keeps old ways fresh at Littleton Museum Keeping the craft alive I’m one of five blacksmiths at the Littleton Museum. I’m there every Tuesday and Thursday. I’m there until the school groups wind up, or if the weather turns real bad.

I learned to blacksmith at the John C. Campbell Folk School in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. They like to keep the old arts and crafts alive. My wife and I lived in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the late 1980s, and I just took a class on a whim.

I loved it, and I kept taking classes for the next 26 years. It wasn’t always blacksmithing — I also learned chairmaking and woodturning. I like to work with my hands.

Do it yourself I was an obstetrician, a surgeon. I can pound a lot harder on an anvil than I can on a patient. I’ve been retired for 18 years, and I’ve been working here for 18 years.

They wouldn’t let me put in a forge where I was living, which was the 28th floor over Larimer Square. So I came down here.

I don’t like to go to Walmart to buy something. I like to do it myself so I can get it just right. I made lots of things for my home over the years — hooks, tools, that sort of thing. I like doing artistic things. I can turn a length of iron into a beautiful flower.

Perspective We have a lot of school groups at the museum. We might have four groups before 1

An a-PEELING season Summer 2018 was kind to the Littleton Museum’s historical gardens

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Nary a creature was stirring at the Littleton Museum in the sultry noon of Aug 23. Cows, pigs and goats lazed in the shade, and only a handful of visitors roamed the grounds of the free living history museum at 6028 S. Gallup St. The day was busy, though, for Lisa Hendry, a volunteer historical interpreter, who sat in the museum’s log cabin peeling piles of heirloom apples grown on a tree out back.

“We only have so long to harvest everything, and either prepare it or preserve it for winter,” Hendry said, her fingertips wrinkled from the moisture of hundreds of apples.

“In the 1860s, that was your King Soopers,” Hendry said, gesturing out toward the cabin’s garden, teeming with squash, peppers, cucumbers and towering cornstalks — all authentic varieties grown by pioneers.

The strange summer of 2018, with its drought, smoke and occasional sudden hailstorms, was good to the garden of the 1860s, and Hendry said the garden should ably fill the museum’s root cellar.

“We survived the heat, the beetles, and the storms, and the vegetables look just marvelous,” Hendry said.

“It’s been a good season for us.”

Cornstalks tower over Littleton Museum historical interpreter Lisa Hendry in the museum’s 1860s garden.

Swim Across America makes waves at Chatfield More than 250 people turned out to participate in the event set up to fight cancer

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lauren Alfino is just a little more stubborn than others.

On an impossibly perfect Colorado day, hundreds of swimmers prepared for a dip in the Chatfield Reservoir Aug. 26. And Alfino, undoubtedly, would be one of them — even though she had a boot on her left foot.

The story of how the 22-year-old swimmer broke her foot pretty much sums up the story of who Alfino is: highly competitive and highly stubborn. For that story, Alfino seemed fit to jump to the conclusion: “I set the world record for how fast you can go down the water slide,” she said with a laugh.

Alfino, of Aurora, was not going to miss this, the inaugural Swim Across America event in Colorado.

The organization “makes waves to fight cancer,” but specifically, it raises money for the local Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Hospital.

More than 200 swimmers from around the metro area signed up to swim a course in the reservoir southwest of Littleton at either a 5K, mile or half-mile distances. Alfino, and her broken foot, were set for the half-mile.

To Alfino, the impediment was nothing. She’s proud of her stubbornness.

It’s what allowed to her be there in the first place.

Alfino was diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s lymphoma in 2013, a cancer that starts in white blood cells. In April of that year, her cancer was in remission. She never forgot about that struggle, event 5 1/2 years later. Now, she’s grateful any chance she gets to be in the water.

“When I got diagnosed with cancer, I continued to swim throughout my entire treatment,” Alfino said. “It was nice that I had some very supportive people in my life who didn’t question me, but supported all my stubbornness.”

Nicole Vanderpoel, the director of the Denver Open Water Swim, worried that if there would be one cloud in the sky during the event, it would be right above Chatfield Reservoir.

Instead, Colorado’s first Swim Across America event enjoyed one of the nicest days of the summer, clear for once of smog and haze to set the stage for an event months in the making. The Denver Open Water Swim for Swim Across America raised almost $200,000 for cancer research.

“We far exceeded anything we could’ve hoped for,” Vanderpoel said.

“We’re overwhelmed with the support, the amount of swimmers and the sponsors. They all came through.”

The Denver Open Water Swim was the first Swim Across America event in Colorado, but Vanderpoel already has her sights set on next year.

“We’ve got work to do, and we are

We celebrate everyone here,” she said. “Next year, we’re just going to continue on the same path with the same goal, and that’s purely for the children.”

Hot air balloons floated high above the park as swimmers filed in, eventually by the hundreds, on Chatfield’s shore. And by the masses, 95 swimmers waded into the water before beginning their three laps for the 5K swim. Among them were 16 Olympi-

ans, including Missy Franklin, the five-time Olympic gold medalist and Regis Jesuit graduate.

With a beaming smile and water still dripping from her face, Franklin said meeting the children at the hospital was one of the most impactful events she had the opportunity to be part of.

“Actually getting to see what all of this is about and where all of this is going…it makes me speechless,” Franklin said.

Missy Franklin steps foot back on land after the 5K swim during the inaugural Denver Open Water Swim for Swim Across America. Franklin, from Centennial, said the 5K was the longest swim she’s had in Chatfield, where she swam several times as a child.

Judge turns down fire ballot challenge Court finds that voters are sufficiently informed by wording

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A judge recently denied local political fixture Carol Brzeczek’s challenges against elements of the ballot measure that will determine whether Littleton becomes fully included in the boundaries of South Metro Fire Rescue, and ballots will soon be sent to the printer, but Brzeczek may not be done yet.

Brzeczek filed suit against South Metro Fire Rescue earlier in the summer, alleging that the language of the ballot measure incorrectly or inadequately conveyed the conditions under which Littleton could become part of South Metro’s fire protection district. She also called the process South Metro used to finalize the measure improper.

Arapahoe County District Judge Frederick Martinez ruled against Brzeczek on Aug. 10, saying that vot-

ers would be adequately informed by the ballot language, and that a prior judge’s ruling on the process used to finalize the language could stand.

Now, Brzeczek said she may appeal her case to the state Supreme Court, asserting that “the sanctity of election law is too important to let go.”

“I’d like to say it’s Brzeczek over,” Brzeczek said. “I wish South Metro had been more honorable to begin with.

If they had followed the law, we wouldn’t be here.”

Specifically, Brzeczek asserts misconduct in the appointment of Barb Andrews as the district’s designated election official, alleging that her appointment was not approved by the board as required by law. Both Judge Martinez and Douglas County Judge Paul King found Andrews’ designation and appointment legitimate.

Brzeczek also asserted that the ballot language inaccurately states that if approved, the measure

automatically lowers Littleton’s mill levy rate from 6.662 to 2.0. She said that South Metro cannot force Littleton, a separate entity, to lower its mill levy.

A measure passed by Littleton City Council in April mandates that if voters approve inclusion, the city manager must submit a budget in 2019 that lowers the mill levy rate.

Brzeczek says that just because the city manager submits such a budget, city council is not obligated to enact it. Littleton City Manager Mark Relph and city attorney Steve Kemp said in June that they see such a scenario as far-fetched.

Brzeczek also asserted that the ballot should include language saying that the transfer of equipment and assets to South Metro was irreversible, but Judge Martinez cited a clause in the pre-inclusion agreement that allows for the return of assets to Littleton if inclusion is unsuccessful or one party reneges.

South Metro has been transparent and behaved legally and in the best interest of voters, said South Metro Chief Bob Baker.

“The final ballot language is as

clear as we can make it, and not misleading,” Baker said. “It’s direct, and the judge agreed.

We’re glad he did.”

Brzeczek was one of five citizens who spoke at a public meeting on the ballot language in Baker July, and it appears that her concerns were at least somewhat heeded, she said.

The most important issue from this point forward, Relph said, is making sure Littleton’s transition to receiving fire coverage from South Metro — which will happen anyway on a contract basis if voters reject inclusion — is seamless.

“I’ve been very pleased with our interaction with South Metro thus far,” Relph said. “We didn’t have a lot of time to get this done, but I think it will work out for the best for citizens.”

Relph said he’s satisfied with the ballot language.

“It’s neutral — that’s the most important thing,” Relph said. “It provides more detail now, which is helpful. It’s an improvement.”

Arapahoe Community College President Diana Doyle has been selected as the recipient of the 2018 NASPA IV-West Presidential Excellence Award.

Doyle, who has served as president of ACC since April 2010, will be honored at the NASPA IV-West Regional Conference Oct. 23-25, in Wichita, Kansas. NASPA is the national professional association for student affairs administrators in higher education.

A 2016 recipient of the Phi Theta Kappa Shirley B. Gordon Presidential Award of Distinction, Doyle also earned acclaim as the State Student Advisory Council President of the Year by the Colorado Community College System in the spring of 2014.

Prior to her appointment at ACC, Doyle served as executive vice president of learning and student affairs at the Community College of Denver. With more than 40 years of progressive professional experience in higher education administration, she has also served in leadership roles at Western Nebraska Community College, Colorado School of Mines, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln

and Illinois State University.

Elected as president of NASPA in 2008-09, Doyle also received the NASPA Foundation Pillar of the Profession award for contributions to college student success in 2010.

Under her leadership, ACC has established a Veterans Services Center, a President’s Student Advisory Council, and Guided Pathways for Student Retention & Completion. In addiDoyle tion, ACC has created an integrated concept Child Development Center for Early Childhood Education, started offering a bachelor of applied science degree in emergency services administration, and begun construction on a new Collaboration Campus in Castle Rock to provide pathways from high school to associate degree to bachelor’s degree through on-site alliances with K-12, university, employer, and civic agency partners.

Doyle holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Illinois State University and earned her doctorate in public administration from the University of Colorado at Denver.

BOND

Littleton Public Schools superintendent Brian Ewert listens to a presentation on a proposed bond measure at the Aug. 23 Board of Education meeting.

The $298 million bond, if approved, would pay to replace several LPS buildings, among other projects.

FROM PAGE 1

The current average age of buildings in LPS is 58 years, Ewert said, and the district last built a new facility in 1981. Many bear significant structural problems, he said, and he added that the district’s buildings are ill-equipped to handle the technology and programming needs of 21st-century education, and many have numerous problems with access for people with disabilities.

Tax increase If approved, the bond would mean an additional $29 to $49 a year in taxes per $100,000 of actual home value for homeowners in the district, according to estimates published on a district website, meaning someone with a house valued at $400,000 could expect to pay an additional $116 to $196 a year.

The district covers Littleton proper, as well as portions of west Centennial, Bow Mar, Columbine Valley and Greenwood Village.

The total bond amount would be $298,870,000, according to ballot language, with a total repayment cost of up to $584,690,150. Voters last approved a bond for Littleton Public Schools in 2013, to the tune of $80 million.

The bond issue would take its place on a crowded ballot this fall, with voters statewide set to decide on Amendment 73, which would revamp income taxes to raise money for public education, and with voters in Littleton to decide on a fire protection merger that could raise property taxes.

“I know I get uptight about tax increases,” Ewert said. “But as goes the value of the school district, so goes the value of your property. Part of the reason people are drawn to Littleton is our great schools.”

Big changes The bond would mean big changes, largely on the district’s eastern side.

Newton Middle School at 4001 E.

DAVID GILBERT

Arapahoe Road would get a completely new two-story building, to be built alongside the existing building, which would then be demolished. The school would also be the site of the district’s new “junior stadium,” meant to ease demand on the district’s stadium at Littleton High School.

Ames Elementary at 7300 South Clermont Drive, closed in 2009 after years of falling enrollment, would be reopened in a new building, due in part to an influx of young families to the area in recent years. Services currently utilizing the old building, including TLC Meals on Wheels, would be moved to Highland Elementary.

Highland Elementary at 711 E. Euclid Ave. would be merged with Franklin Elementary on the latter’s site at 1608 E. Euclid Ave., occupying a new building. The old Highland building might begin hosting other district programs.

The old Schomp Automotive building, just south of Littleton High School, would be converted into the Carret and Technical Education

and Innovation Center, intended to provide training in trades including automotive, computer coding, construction, plumbing, welding and other fields.

Other efforts around the district would include replacing classroom furniture district-wide, and addressing a backlog of infrastructure and maintenance projects at other district buildings.

No time like the present When it comes to replacing the district’s infrastructure, there’s no time like the present, said Board of Education member Carrie Warren-Gully.

“The interest rates are only going to go up,” Warren-Gully said. “Even half a percentage point is huge when you’re talking about $298 million.”

The bond is a case of striking while the iron’s hot, said board member Jack Reutzel.

“We have an opportunity with this economy to change the trajectory of this district with regard to infrasturture,” Reutzel said.

The 2013 bond, while providing much-needed repairs, wasn’t a cureall, Reutzel said.

“It was a Band-Aid,” Reutzel said.

“A tourniquet. We were stopping the bleeding, but the patient was still going to die.”

Such a project is not without risk, said board member Jim Stephens.

“In addition to the financial risk of issuing debt, we have a significant execution risk of managing such a large construction program, and we need to pay a significant attention to that,” Stephens said. “We could get sideways on that side, even if we get the money as cheaply as possible.”

Ewert said his hope was that if voters approve this measure, the district wouldn’t come asking voters for more money for another 10 years.

Still, he said, this is the chance to begin leaving a legacy for generations to come.

“We talk a lot about creating learning spaces for the 21st century,” Ewert said. “Well, we’re well on our way through the 21st century.”

City doubles down on road-funding plan Council reaffirms commitment to reallocate fire money to streets

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton City Council doubled down on its promise to redirect millions of city budget dollars to road repair if voters approve full inclusion city within the boundaries of South Metro Fire Rescue this fall.

Council voted unanimously at its Aug. 21 meeting to reaffirm plans to reallocate much of the money typically spent on paying for fire protection toward preventive maintenance on the city’s aging road infrastructure, potentially injecting more than $3 million a year into the city’s capital projects fund, which covers infrastructure

upgrades.

The money would come from savings from no longer paying for fire coverage if voters this fall approve a measure to allow South Metro Fire Rescue to expand its borders to include Littleton, according to city documents.

“We would create a subfund that would be designated for this purpose,” said city finance director Tiffany Hooten. “Even at the end of the year, if those funds were not spent, we’ll reserve the fund balance (until the next year).”

According to information presented at the meeting, Littleton currently spends about $7.1 million a year on its fire department, drawn from several sources including sales tax, property tax, emergency medical service transport fees and other sources. Much of the funding comes from the city’s mill levy, currently at 6.662.

If voters approve inclusion, Littleton homeowners will begin paying South Metro for fire service at a rate of 9.25 mills in 2020, as the first year of fire service would be on a contract basis. The city is then obligated by an ordinance passed earlier this year to lower its mill levy from 6.662 to 2.0 — meaning ultimately Littleton homeowners will be on the hook for a cumulative 11.25 mills, or an increase of roughly $120 a year on a home valued at $370,000.

If the inclusion vote fails, Littleton will dissolve its fire department anyway, and begin contracting with South Metro for fire service regardless. The mill levy would remain the same, and the city would pay the difference in cost out of its general fund coffers, a scenario that city attorney Steve Kemp has called unsustainable.

The savings from no longer being

responsible for fire protection could be a boon to the city’s road maintenance budget, said public works director Keith Reester at an Aug. 14 council study session, especially as the city looks at much larger projects to expand traffic capacity in the face of a growing regional population.

“We’re facing two components,” Reester said. “Preservation of our current structure, and capacity … If you take the Highway User Tax Fund and the vast majority of the $3.1 million (from fire merger savings) then you’re past the point of just preserving what we have.”

Among the projects Reester would like to accomplish, he said, are upgrading the city’s thousands of locations that are not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and linking the city’s traffic signals with fiber optics to better respond to traffic flows.

Local school districts suing over bill’s busing provision Jeffco, Englewood among those opposed to late changes in measure

BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT.ORG

Six school districts and the associations that represent them are suing to stop a change to Colorado law that could increase access to school choice but that was approved under questionable circumstances.

The lawsuit filed earlier this month in Denver District Court doesn’t deal with the merits of the policy but with the way it was enacted. In the last days of the 2018 legislative session, state Sen. Owen Hill, R-Colorado Springs, took language from a defeated bill related to school choice and transportation and attached it as an amendment to a bill dealing with educational barriers for foster youths.

In a signing statement, Gov. John Hickenlooper said the maneuver potentially violates the “single-subject rule,” which requires that each bill deal with a one topic clearly expressed in the title of the bill and that any amendments also relate to that subject. He predicted there could be a lawsuit over the issue, and two months later, here we are.

The plaintiffs in the case are the

Colorado Association of School Executives, the Colorado Association of School Boards, Jefferson County Public Schools, Englewood Schools, the Sheridan School District, the Cheyenne Mountain district in Colorado Springs, the Monte Vista district in southwestern Colorado and the Poudre district based in Fort Collins.

Jeffco Superintendent Jason Glass and Poudre school board member Cathy Kipp also joined the lawsuit.

The lawsuit claims the “operations and finances” of the districts will be affected by legislation that was passed “in a manner and by a process expressly prohibited by the Colorado Constitution and in derogation of these plaintiffs’ constitutionally protected interests as stakeholders in the fairness, integrity, and transparency of the legislative processes employed by the Colorado General Assembly.”

“The bill was originally about foster care children,” said CASE executive director Lisa Escárcega. “And at the very end of the session, they rewrote the last part, and expanded it to all children.”

Hill called CASE’s position “a complete lie,” noting that the organization, along with the school board association and the Sheridan and Englewood districts, also opposed the standalone bill on which his amendment was based.

on the merits of the policy,” Hill said. “That’s what this is about for the unions and the districts. They don’t want kids to have the freedom to go across district lines.”

The foster youth bill seeks to make it easier for these students, who have some of the lowest graduation rates in the state, to finish high school by requiring child welfare officials and school districts to work out transportation to the student’s home district when that’s in the child’s best interest. House Bill 1306 also creates flexibility around graduation requirements when students do change schools.

The bill’s title is “Improving Educational Stability for Foster Youth.”

The tacked-on language says that a school board “may furnish transportation” to students who are enrolled in the district but who live in another district. The provision applies to all students, not just those who are in the foster system. It also strikes language from existing law that requires the consent of the school district from which students are being bussed.

Similar language appeared in a bill sponsored by Hill called “Improving School Choice in Traditional Schools.” Students in Colorado can enroll in any school that has room for them and can meet their needs, but most students who go somewhere besides their neighborhood school don’t get transporta-

tion, something that advocates for school choice have long criticized as a major barrier for students from low-income families, whether they’re moving between districts or within one.

In opposing the original transportation provision, superintendents from Sheridan and Englewood raised the prospect of districts running buses through more affluent neighborhoods, siphoning off those students and the state funding that goes with them, while leaving poorer districts to educate those with the greatest needs.

“The single-subject rule exists to guard against exactly what happened — adding a controversial or unpopular amendment to a bill that has a strong chance of becoming law, in an effort to get that questionable provision passed by the Legislature,” Englewood Superintendent Wendy Rubin said in a statement.”

We believe that raising this issue to the courts is critical, both in this specific instance, and to hopefully prevent this kind of breach from occurring in the future.”

Jeffco Public Schools is in a different position. In an email, Glass said his district might see net enrollment growth from this change, but he worries about the broader implications.

Shanahan awarded ‘Fire in the Gut’ honor Mike Shanahan was honored with prestigious award at event

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

To the tune of AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck,” five retired Navy SEALs parachuted down to Centennial Airport to kick off the 2018 Navy SEAL Foundation’s Denver Evening of Tribute.

The banquet, held Aug. 16, raised more than $800,000 in support of the Naval Special Warfare Community and its families, according to a news release.

Former Denver Broncos’ coach Mike Shanahan was awarded the “Navy Seal Foundation’s Fire in the Gut Award,” an honor given to a person or organization displaying the “all-in” quality of serving military families. The award was presented by Nan and Eric Korts, parents of Special Operator, Third Class (SEAL) Jason Dunbar Korts, who was killed in a training accident. Jason Korts was from Highlands Ranch and died in 2015 in a training accident in Southwest Riverside County in California.

“So when I talk to you tonight, I talk to you from a background of football, but I guarantee you the success that I’ve experienced is

“We bring in approximately 3,000 more students than we lose to interdistrict school choice and that trend would likely grow if this provision in the foster care bill comes to pass,” he wrote. “At issue for us is the violation of the single-subject element of the state constitution.

This choice amendment would represent a seismic shift in education policy in the state. Such changes should be considered through open and transparent debate in the legislative process, not tucked in as a last minute amendment under another bill title.”

In an interview, Hill said the transportation provision was a necessary component of the foster youth bill because the state couldn’t simultaneously require that these students be transported back to their home schools while retaining the requirement to get consent from the district in which they now reside.

Hill never made this argument in committee. There was no discussion at all when the amendment was proposed and adopted, and advocates for the foster youth bill didn’t raise it as a concern. School districts already provide transpor-

because of the standards the people in this room have set up,” Shanahan said.

“So for me, accepting this great honor tonight and being asked to speak to a group like this, to a team like this and to the people that are here tonight — thank you,” Shanahan continued. “To the people that support the Navy SEALs, I can’t thank you enough.”

He then thanked the team of people in attendance and the people who support the Navy SEALs. Master Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Ed Byers, recipient of the Medal of Honor, then paid respect to 152 Naval Special Warfare members who died since Sept. 11, 2001.

Master Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Britt Slabinski, USN, (retired), also a Medal of Honor recipient, was the evening’s keynote speaker.

“The reason this community is so special is that it knows so well what it bands together to defend,” he said.

According to its website, the Navy SEAL Foundation supports personnel and their families and preserves the Naval Special Warfare force through a set of programs designed to improve health and welfare, enhance resiliency, educate families and provide support during times of illness, injury, loss or transition.

tation to homeless youths who want to remain in their home schools under provisions in federal law, and foster youth are entitled to similar services. The transportation envisioned under the foster youth bill could also occur through rideshare services or by reimbursing foster parents for mileage, and nothing in state law prevents simply driving a student to school in another district.

The plaintiffs are seeking an injunction to prevent the law from taking effect while the matter is litigated.

The lawsuit names Hickenlooper, Education Commissioner Katy Anthes and the State Board of Education as defendants because they oversee implementation of these laws. Representatives of the governor’s office and the state Department of Education declined to comment on the lawsuit. The State Board of Education did not take any position on the legislation in question when it was being debated at the Capitol.

The Attorney General’s Office is charged with defending the state from the lawsuit. A spokesperson for the attorney general declined to comment.

Fire departments rescue trapped dog in Centennial Team sawed through concrete to save dog after nearly 1 ½ days

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than a dozen men turned a backyard in a quiet Centennial neighborhood into a makeshift construction scene, sawing, hammering and digging their way to rescuing a family’s 8-year-old dog on Aug. 21.

Luna, a small Jack Russell terrier, got underneath the house at 7322 S. Harrison Way in the early morning of Aug 20. It’s something she does all the time, said Anne Timmerman, Luna’s owner.

“She runs after everything she sees,” Timmerman, 49, said. But she never got stuck like this before — after two hours of calling her, Timmerman became concerned and called the fire department.

Littleton Fire Rescue officials arrived at the home near South Colorado Boulevard and East Dry Creek Road midday, and after coming again that night, they got a helping hand — or several.

“We realized we needed to pull out the heavy rescue,” said Kim Spuhler, spokeswoman on the scene for South Metro Fire Rescue. South Metro Fire’s

Anne Timmerman, 49, holds her 8-year-old dog, Luna, after South Metro Fire Rescue and Littleton Fire Rescue officials rescued Luna from beneath a house at 7322 S. Harrison Way in Centennial Aug. 21. Luna had been trapped for more than 30 hours after getting underneath the home.

ELLIS ARNOLD technical rescue team moved in the afternoon the next day, along with Littleton Fire, Franktown Fire Protection District and Centennial Animal Services.

It all added up to a large team converging on the wooden backyard patio, sawing and removing planks and dig-

ging underneath the home. Terrence Timmerman, Anne’s husband, and family members stood on the patio and inside the house, some putting their ears to the floor to hear Luna.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my life,” Terrence Timmerman, 47, said. “That they’re doing this, this is

amazing. I’m speechless, to be honest with you.”

The crew worked for hours in the intermittent rain the afternoon of Aug. 21, deploying a tarp and cutting away the concrete itself — responders used a chainsaw to cut several square feet of the slab beneath the wood, reaching toward Luna. Responders took turns crawling into a hole dug underneath the home. All the while, a crowd of higher-ranking officials, news crews and family stood behind, some yelling Luna’s name — others saying, “Wanna go for a walk?” to entice her out.

After using a jackhammer, sledgehammer, shovels and other tools, one responder was able to stretch far enough in — and finally pull Luna out.

“It’s a miracle,” said Anne Timmerman, holding her dog as people huddled around to see her. Luna was calm and silent, like nothing had ever happened.

Timmerman said she planned to take her to the vet, as reporters and cameras gathered around.

Spuhler, standing with the responders, said with rescues like this, “You get tunnel vision.”

“You focus on the project,” Spuhler said. “But when you see the dog, or when you see the result of your work, it’s very rewarding for the guys.”

Timmerman beamed, holding and kissing her dog.

“It’s incredible,” she said. “A big relief.”

Hospital welcomes new CEO Dr. Jandel Allen-Davis has been named president and CEO at Craig Hospital in Englewood.

She will formally begin her role Oct. 1. Allen-Davis replaces Mike Fordyce, who served as president and CEO of Craig for 10 years and announced his retirement earlier this year. She was chosen after a six-month search and received unanimous support from the search committee.

Allen-Davis comes to Craig from Kaiser Permanente, where she was most recently the vice president of government, external relations and research. She has been with Kaiser for 24 years, serving in a number of positions from staff physician to the executive leadership role.

“Dr. Allen-Davis has the right experience and skills to lead a top rehabilitation hospital,” Bob Ladenburger, Craig Hospital board chair, said in a news release. “But above all, the value she places on patients and the quality of their care is in perfect alignment with Craig’s culture, which is what makes this hospital unique.”

Allen-Davis is charged with leading one of the top 10 rehabilitation hospitals in the country, as recently named by U.S. News & World Report.

She will work closely with Fordyce to transition into the role over the coming months before his departure in December.

“I am honored and excited to be an ambassador and advocate for the Craig family and the patients it serves,” Allen-Davis said in the release. “This is a special place — the way Craig puts patients and their families at the center of care is directly in line with how I practiced medicine. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to join this community.”

VOICES Any excuse for littering is just so much rubbish

ohn Lennon said, “Littering is easy with eyes closed.”

Littering is easy and it’s fun and it’s a great way to thumb your nose at that arcane word “civility,” which has gone down the floor and out the door.

I’m doing community service. I’d rather not explain why. It had something to do with the use of a misplaced modifier. The judge threw the book at me. It happened to be a copy of Strunk and White’s English grammar and punctuation masterpiece “The Elements of Style.”

I was sentenced to write three columns: about cellphones and tailgating and littering, the harm linked to each of them, knowing full well I would be ignored. Heck, I was tailgated by a guy on a cellphone on the way to the newspaper to drop off one of the essays.

He hit the trifecta: He threw a candy wrapper out the window.

After this column, I will have done my time and I can return to what I am best known for: handy hints for homeowners.

Here’s a sample: Don’t go eating detergent pods.

Harry and I just returned from a nearby park. It’s big and green and meticulously groomed, there are two ball fields, restrooms, a fenced-in playground, and all around it are trash cans.

ave you ever wondered why some of your own tasks and projects get done and yet there are others that seem to fall into the “maybe someday, but definitely not today” bucket?

One of the primary reasons this happens for me is because I find myself in avoidance mode and procrastination becomes my destinaWINNING tion. And I really don’t enjoy that destination, and I especially don’t WORDS enjoy the journey towards the destination of procrastination.

So when I look at certain tasks, to-dos and projects my typical strategy is to categorize each one the night before or as soon as I wake up and start my day. An (A) task means this is one I must do before I do anything else. A (B) rating is something that is important, and I Michael Norton probably need to get to it before the end of the day. And then a project that falls into the (C) category means that if I have had a super productive day and can get to it, I get it done. If not, it usually becomes an (A) or (B) task for the next day.

This ABC ranking system has proven extremely helpful over the years and has helped me to prioritize and complete more tasks and projects than I had in the past.

The problem is this (AB) category that has crept in. The (AB) I am talking about is “Avoidance Behavior.” And with a heavy travel schedule and experiencing a very busy time in my personal and professional life, more and more tasks, to-dos and projects are looking more and more like they should be placed into the “Avoidance Behavior” bucket. I mean I just don’t have the time. And that is a sad excuse.

That “maybe someday, but definitely not today” attitude had to stop. It was flat-out causing me stress as I worried and thought about what needed to get done, and it was taking my focus of my real (A) tasks and projects and my (B) category to-dos.

“If you pack it in, pack it out.”

Maybe you have been reading about plastic straws. It’s a start.

Litter lasts this long: cigarette butts, 1-5 years; aluminum cans, 80-100 years; plastic bags, 10-20 years; wool socks, 1-5 years; plastic bottles, indefinitely.

On the way home from the park, Harry and I went to the grocery store.

I spotted someone’s butts and ashes in a parking space. Not far off were the remains of a fast-food lunch.

Flicking a butt always looks cool and hip in films, don’t she? Fifty percent of all littered items are cigarette butts.

Like I said: This is my third and final go-around with delinquencies — or perceived delinquencies. If it were up to me, I’d let it be, go with the flow, tolerate the intolerable, abide the exploitation of decencies, and take the

with purpose and passion?

The internal dialogue sounded like this, “Are you avoiding this because you don’t have the skill to do it?” Or “I should probably put this into the someday bucket because this conversation is going to be uncomfortable.” And here is my least favorite, “Well you know Michael, if you keep putting this off, someone else will certainly do it.” And that last one is never true.

When it comes to doing the things we need to do but avoid doing them because we don’t have the skill, lack the will, or we try and pass it off on someone else, all we are doing is practicing (AB) Avoidance Behavior.

Avoidance behavior is a terrible journey and only ends up at destination procrastination.

The simple realization for me was that there are things that I enjoy doing and where passion and purpose are easily found to accelerate my behavior.

There are other things where I need just a little hope and encouragement and then I am once again hot on my pursuit to getting it done.

Now, when I realize I am in avoidance behavior mode, I challenge myself to get after it, get it off the list, and do it better than I ever expected to do it.

Maybe it starts at home like just about everything else.

Who hasn’t heard, “Pick up your room”?

Analytically, an admonishment like that is embedded with dominance and submission, and there comes a point (an age) when most of us rebel — and we don’t put our belongings where they belong.

If you go to a park - or almost anywhere — there are signs.

“Don’t do this, and don’t do that,” and guess what happens?

Rules are made to be broken. What feels better than outrunning law enforcement? What feels better than walking an unleashed dog? What feels better than thumbing your nose at The Man? Littering, likewise, is a sign of non-conformity.

So how about you? Are you on the destination procrastination train as you settle in comfortably to your own avoidance behavior? Or do you have a system that is working really well to get it all done and where you are feeling super accomplished?

LIFE Fourteeners rack up BIG numbers

Dallas Weaver, of Denver, hikes toward the peak of Mount Huron on July 15. Weaver, who moved from Arkansas to Colorado to climb mountains, hopes to complete all fourteener summits by the end of 2020.

Thousands can crowd popular peaks on busy mid-summer days

oss Erickson, 29, started climbing fourteeners — mountains with more than 14,000 feet elevation — eight years ago when he moved to Colorado.

“Illinois doesn’t have any,” he said jokingly about why he waited to climb a mountain of that height.

At first, he saw the fourteeners as training hikes for the Colorado Trail, which he was preparing to hike. As the years went on, he advanced to more technical mountains. As a rock climber and a hiker, he was inspired to push his limits.

Now, he’s just shy of 50 fourteeners climbed and shares his lessons learned at the REI outdoor school, where he teaches rock climbing, onand off-trail map and compass use, and wilderness survival.

For him, the biggest thing he wants students to remember is to always be prepared.

“Know your skill level and remember that you are in the mountains and things can get real,” Erickson said.

In 2016 and 2017 the Alpine Rescue team, which performs rescues in Clear Creek County, averaged 45

In 2008 and 2009 the team averaged 15 missions per year. That’s an increase of 300 percent over the past eight years.

Dawn Wilson, of Alpine Rescue, said that there are a couple things that get people in trouble more than others while they are hiking mountains of that height.

“When people go past their ability, that’s when you get into trouble,” Wilson said. “People die. You don’t mess around with these fourteeners.”

Wilson reminds people to be prepared with the proper gear, to tell someone where you are going and your estimated time of return, and to

RISKS OF CLIMBING MOUNTAINS Weather Lightning is the greatest external hazard to mountaineering in Colorado. Lighting hits the highest areas — summits and high ridge lines — as well as open meadows.

Use the “alpine start” and begin the mountain ascent in the early hours of the morning. This allows hikers to get down the mountain in the early afternoon before storms roll in. The biggest concern with starting that early — when it could potentially still be dark — is making sure you know the terrain and carry a headlamp.

One spot Alpine Rescue was called to several times this summer was the sawtooth that connects Mount Bierstadt and Mount Evans.

“Mount Bierstadt is one of the easier fourteeners,” Wilson said. “It’s a high-traveled route. But then people go over to the sawtooth and that is not something to be challenged with if you are not prepared. It’s really technical.

t is not often that a theater company has the opportunity to be part of a play from inception to production, but that’s just one of the things that makes the Athena Project such an important part of the metro art scene - it works to give new playwrights a chance to showcase their work.

Such is the case with Athena’s production of “Honor Killing,” written by Sarah Bierstock and developed during the 2017 Plays In Progress Series. Directed by Angela Astle, the show will make its premiere at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept 8 at the Elaine Wolfe Theatre at the JCC Denver, 350 S. Dahlia St. in Denver. The show will then run through the 30thwith shows at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

The show follows New York Times reporter Allisyn COMING Davis as she invesATTRACTIONS tigates the honor killing of a young Pakistani woman at the hands of family. Allisyn is denied entrance to Pakistan, but armed with the most current technology she conducts her invesClarke Reader tigation remotely from Dubai.

“The show addresses brutality against women in both western and eastern cultures,” Astle said. “It also asks great questions about the responsibilities of journalists when they’re reporting on a culture that isn’t their own and may not fully understand.”

During the Athena Project’s annual festival “Honor Killing” was selected as one of 250 plays submitted to Plays in Progress, which accepts scripts of women playwrights and develops them through workshops, staged readings and table readings. Astle was a part of that early process and said she’s thrilled to bring it to a Colorado audience after its world premiere at Florida Studio Theatre in Sarasota, Florida.

With all the recent focus on journalistic integrity and importance of the free press, Astle said the show will send the audience home with plenty to discuss.

“When you’re reading an article, you can’t just take it face value. You need to look at who is writing the piece and why,” she said “It asks us to consider how we tell our stories.”

The number of rescues performed on Front Range fourteeners has also gone up as the population in Denver and the surrounding areas has increased. On a sunny day in July, about 3,000 people can be found on Mount Bierstadt.

In July 2017, Colorado Fourteener Initiative released the second edition of its “Fourteener Hiking Use and Economic Impact” report, which estimated that 311,000 hiker use days occurred on Colorado’s fourteeners in 2016 — a 19 percent increase over 2015.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week - Gary Clark Jr. at Red Rocks People don’t really talk about guitarists the way they used to in the 1960’s and 70’s. When rock was the most important music genre in the world there were passionate debates about who was the true guitar god.

That doesn’t happen all that often anymore.

If that debate was still going on, one of the top contenders for the title would be Austin’s Gary Clark Jr. A fervent believer in the transformative power of the blues and a guitarist in the style of Hendrix, Clark is one of the unequivocal modern masters of the guitar. He’s released two solid studio albums, but it’s in his pair of live albums where his skills really shine though. His version of “Catfish Blues” is one of the best live recordings of the decade.

To experience the real thing, you don’t want to miss Gary Clark Jr. at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 5 at Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison.

If witnessing Clark’s magic isn’t enough to tempt you, soul-singer Valerie June will be the opener for the evening. The owner of one of the richest voices in the genre, June is worth the price of admission alone.

The present looks bright at Town Hall Arts Center Amazing paint job grows from teen’s choice of Eagle Scout project

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Audiences who walk into Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center as the new theater season begins with Green Day’s “American Idiot” will pretty much all say “Wow!” The lobby walls and high ceilings have a new look.

Almost a year ago, 14-year-old Jack Rutherford, who began as a member of Littleton Troop 114 and, when his family moved, crossed over to Troop 130 in Golden, started organizing his Eagle Scout project. It was completed this July — with help from 34 volunteers, who made a dramatic change in Town Hall Arts Center’s vintage lobby area and gallery.

Town Hall’s staff chose the highcontrast colors from a paint assortment suggested by Callan Meek of Bryant Flink Architecture and Design. (The firm, which has an office in the historic Geneva Lodge building next to the Littleton City Center, offers pro-bono advice to Town Hall’s board.)

Town Hall’s Technical Director Mike Hess was staff coordinator for the project, according to THAC Director Cheryl McNab. Two staff members painted the Stanton Gallery,

The lobby at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton is freshly painted, thanks to Jack Rutherford’s Eagle Scout project.

COURTESY PHOTOS while volunteers worked on lobby and hallways, Rutherford said.

Sixty-seven gallons of mostly donated paint were carefully applied to the old walls — VERY carefully at points where a clean crisp line was in order. “We used some tiny brushes,” Rutherford said.

They worked a combined total of 815 1/2 hours over 12 days, he added.

There was a brief two-week time frame when the busy theater was not operating. (Even then, there were meetings — and painters and visitors had to avoid making contact.)

Jack started recruiting within his

troop, telling them how it would benefit the community. “It was an attractive project for people” and volunteers stepped forward, as did some from his dad’s office. Jack created a sign-up genius schedule, which was linked to fliers he prepared.

Jack Rutherford has practically grown up at Town Hall, where his mother, Leslie, is marketing and PR director. He’s attended many THAC classes and plays for kids — and even sat through an entire performance of “Don Pasquale” at age 3, when Leslie was assistant marketing director for Opera Colorado.

Life Scout Jack Rutherford completed his Eagle Scout Project in July — organizing volunteers to paint Town Hall Arts Center’s lobby.

Jack is a freshman at Arvada West Senior High School, where he is enrolled in honors science and math classes and will play his trumpet in the marching band. Aerospace engineering appeals to him now as he starts a new chapter ... Organizational and communication skills evidenced here will surely be useful wherever the future takes him.

Stop in to admire this wonderful historic building at 2450 W. Main St., even if you don’t have play tickets in your pocket or purse. It’s open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and during performances.

Search for clues is path to Littleton’s old days Scavenger Hunt offers opportunities for fun, learning, prizes

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Treasure the present and hunt for the past” is Historic Littleton Inc.’s motto. If you attended Littleton’s Western Welcome Week Parade on Aug. 18, you may have noted some vintage vehicles carrying vintage characters toting “Get Your Sleuth On” signs.

They were advertising the seventh annual Scavenger Hunt from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sept. 8, hosted by Historic Littleton Inc., a local membership/preservation/advocacy organization.

Littleton’s downtown will attract some costumed, motorized and musical images from the past on Sept. 8. The Scavenger Hunt is focused on Littleton’s landmarks and some characters who lived there or conducted a business or professional life (and their possible neighbors in several different eras). More than a century has passed since some of those early photos we

The mural by Michelle Lamb that graces the Littleton downtown light rail station is a quiz topic for Littleton’s Scavenger Hunt. COURTESY PHOTO see in downtown Littleton’s restaurants were made, where a Main Street stroller may have seen a solitary chicken as well as street cars, trains, cars, trucks and citizens of assorted ages and descriptions — including teenaged 1950s-era hula hoopers.

Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., is hunt headquarters, where HLI members will have “Clue Lists” — and spare pencils — waiting just before 11 a.m. and through the afternoon. They will cost $5 and contain a map of downtown Littleton, with 15 merchants designated, where clues await.

Those clues will present

a tidbit of Littleton history that will relate to those on the list. The contest is aimed at school-aged kids and adults of all ages — singly or in groups.

Costumed re-enactors will share bits of Littleton history to help with interpretations in some cases, as hunters blanket the treasured downtown area.

Think about: longtime, internationally recognized Littleton Independent editor Houstoun Waring, Poet Walt Whitman, architect J.J. Benedict, Bega, the Last Chance Saloon, Centennial Race Track, the Rough and Ready Flour Mill, Rosie the Riveter … how and where did they fit in Littleton’s story?

Music will drift across the area as the Rootin’ Tootin’ Dixieland Jazz Band performs in front of Town Hall and if scavengers are lucky, they may catch a glimpse of HLI’s specially designated Sleuth Dog in his little Sherlock Holmes cape and hat. Costumed acting students from Town Hall love escorting him on his sleuthing excursions down Main Street!

Each student will be assigned a historic character to research and represent.

Participants are encouraged to ask them and costumed Historic Littleton Inc. members and volunteers about who they represent — perhaps Richard Little himself or his wife, Angelina — or beloved author Ralph Moody, who wrote “Little Britches” and “Man of the Family.”

There will also be a brief history quiz involving locations such as the mural at the Downtown Littleton Light Rail Station or the Clock Tower near that station …

Cash prizes are an incentive for players … Top prize is $500 and there is a $300 check and four $100 checks, as well as door prizes from various local businesses.

Antique car buffs will admire a few polished beauties

parked in front of Town Hall, while all involved will learn to look up and around corners B for clues and hopefully to discover an appealing shop they’ll want to revisit. (The event was originated to celebrate/advocate for an interest in local history and offer hunters an opportunity to meet the P merchants who are located in the charming downtown area — some in historic buildings.)

And perhaps, one might also enjoy a sandwich, a taco, a beer an ice cream cone or ???

Before 3 p.m., turn in the entry and after 3 p.m., gather at Town Hall for announcement of the winners, which will be drawn from a collection of the correct entries. Entries will be happily accepted early and screened for correct answers as they appear. Note — you must be present to win!

Participants will want to tear off the coupons placed on the entry forms by area merchants, who support the hunt — as well as revisit the supportive merchants who hold the 15 clues.

Historic Littleton Inc. will also welcome new members who join them — membership forms available at the desk along with clue sheets. (Cash, check or credit card.)

Young pitcher immersed in national pride

I

are trying to get this thing on the right track and it takes a lot of work to do that,” Casebier said. “The thing about work is everyone wants a shortcut these days, and there isn’t one.

Hard work looks the same in 2018 as it did in 1918. You have to go out and do it.

“This culture and generation thinks there is this quick fix. And for football, there isn’t.”

t is amazing how easy it is to remember all the first times in our lives. I can still recall the first time that I really felt and saw public patriotism.

Admittedly I used to feel a twinge of nationalism watching the Olympics or “Yankee Doodle Dandy” on television, but I was really surprised OVERTIME while attending a 1980 Colorado Rockies hockey game at McNichols Sports Arena.

When the national anthem was played, I can remember everybody loudly singing the anthem Jim Benton and some waving tiny American flags. This was just after the United States’ Miracle on Ice hockey team had won the Olympic gold medal.

ThunderRidge sophomore righthanded pitcher Cale Lansville got up close and personal with the feelings of national pride recently as a member of the United States U15 baseball team that won the 10-day Baseball World Cup on Aug. 19 in David, Panama.

“It was the best feeling just to win a gold medal for your country and having the jersey on every single day,” said Lansville. “With USA across your chest it really puts things in perspective and it was an honor to represent my country.”

It was the first U15 world baseball championship for the United States.

Lansville made two appearances, both starts, and was 1-0 with a 2.16 earned run average. He allowed four hits in 8.1 innings pitched, two earned runs with six strikeouts and five walks in his two outings.

“It was definitely competitive,” he said. “Some teams did things a little differently. Being a pitcher, I saw than Japan was very selective while the Dominicans were very aggressive early in the count.”

The United States went 8-1 in the tournament and downed Panama 7-1 in the title game of the 12-country tournament on Aug. 19.

Lansville was dominant in pitching 5.1 innings in a 4-1 win over previously unbeaten Panama on Aug. 14.

He faced just one batter over his minimum while allowing two hits and striking out two batters.

He started and pitched three innings Aug. 18 against Japan in an 8-2 victory and yielded a pair of hits, two runs, one earned with three strikeouts and three walks.

Former Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman is the new head football mentor at Arapahoe High School and he says his players have been awesome and have accepted coaching that has included some new stuff.

Visions of

Six local football teams have new coaches, most of whom are working to reshape culture of the programs

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One way of defining football culture is how players, fans and others see the expectations for the team.

There are six head football coaches in new places at south metro-area programs this season, and culture is a term that surfaced a lot during preseason conversations.

Two of the coaches will be trying to overhaul the character of the programs they are joining. A few are tweaking reputable teams and one is trying to maintain the culture of arguably the state’s premier program, Valor Christian.

• Todd Casebier is the new head coach at Castle View.

• Mike Campbell takes over at Englewood.

• Former Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman has replaced Campbell at Arapahoe.

• Jeff Ketron returns to the coaching fraternity as the new Chaparral mentor.

• John Trahan will lead the Highlands Ranch program.

• Former Denver Broncos wide receiver Ed McCaffrey is the new coach at Valor.

Here’s a look at what the coaches are facing as the season gets underway: Casebier “We want to change how we approach the game in all ways, in-season and off-season, which entails a lot,” said Casebier, who

New Englewood head coach Mike Campbell, who moved from his coaching position at Arapahoe, had 45 players come out for football this season at a program that hasn’t had a winning season in seven years. He had a group of 15 players who were regulars at a tough summer workout program and 10 others that were in attendance a majority of the time. “They had never done that before and that was a tremendous culture shock for them,” he said. has a resume that includes rebuilding programs at Palisade, Montrose and Fruita Monument, where he guided teams into 18 state playoff appearances in 20 seasons.

Castle View teams have gone 1-9 twice in the past three years and the Sabercats have averaged just three wins over the past six seasons.

“It’s not that we’re doing anything that other programs haven’t done, but we

COACHES

Former Denver Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey is the new football coach at Valor Christian and takes over the helm of one of the state’s best programs that has amassed 107 wins in 10 years including only four wins in its first season.

Valor has won seven state titles.

FROM PAGE 21

Campbell Campbell, who was Class 5A Arapahoe’s coach for 15 seasons, is now facing the challenge of restructuring Englewood football, which has gone seven seasons without a winning record and has only two in the past 13 years. The Pirates are playing in Class 2A this season.

“When you’ve been coaching as long as I have at a different place, you take for granted expectations, and we are still getting an education here on what expectations look like,” said Campbell.

“Englewood hasn’t had a winning record since 2010, so we have our hands full, speaking of culture.”

Sherman Sherman was involved in the Valor Christian football program since the school opened, and in five seasons as head coach, he helped the Eagles compile a 57-11 mark with three state titles.

He is now the leader of the Warriors program, which was 8-12 the past two seasons.

“In the business world, they would tell you it is easier to start a culture than change a culture,” said Sherman. “I would say it’s the same, but our young men at Arapahoe have done an incredible job of getting us to where we want to be. They are meeting the expectations. We can compete with the best in the state, no doubt about it.

“Culture is the way we go about our business. Coaches are responsible for the culture. These young men listen to what we are saying.”

Ketron Ketron was head coach at Douglas County from 1999 to 2013 and coached the Huskies to the 2005 state 5A title and a runner-up finish in 2007. He inherits a Chaparral program that has had just two losing seasons in the last decade.

“The culture was established,” Ketron said. “The school is a winning school with a winning attitude. Schematically, it has been a big difference in what the players had been doing. We have seen a lot of progress.”

New Castle View head coach Todd Casebier says every team has good individuals but teams are the ones that win. He emphasized to his players that if they stick together and do what they are supposed to do that there is a good chance that success will follow.

Trahan Trahan comes from Smoky Hill and takes over a team that has advanced the past two seasons into the 5A state playoffs.

“Changing culture of what has been in the past is about what will keep them at a certain level of success and then helping them take the next step forward,” said Trahan. “In this program, there are a lot of really gifted athletes.

Changing the culture of team discipline has been the biggest key to everything we’ve had to do.”

“In the Panama game I felt I really started on top of hitters and mixed my pitches very well,” recalled Lansville.

“I established all four of my pitches and threw them for strikes. I threw very well that game.

“Then versus Japan, I had some

McCaffrey McCaffrey has watched his four sons — including Christian, who nearly won the Heisman Trophy at Stanford and is now a standout NFL running back — compete on the gridiron for Valor. His youngest son, Luke, is a senior quarterback and will help his dad in his first venture into high school coaching.

The Valor culture is well established, with seven state titles in 10 seasons. The Eagles have played in the state championship game in eight of the past nine seasons.

McCaffrey was not available for comment for this article.

trouble early with establishing my fast ball. I had to go with my off-speed stuff more and I think that’s where things kind of went wrong.”

Lansville was a regular for ThunderRidge last season as a freshman, pitching 41 innings with a 0-1 record and 2.22 earned run average.

He is looking forward to next spring after his summer of facing international competition.

“My goal every time I go out there

to get better,” he said. “I always want to take something away and improve myself. The biggest thing I took away from this summer was just the responsibility that I now have being a USA baseball player and representing my country. When I got back to school everyone was excited for me. They were following on livestream.”

He has a couple memorable souvenirs from the Panama tournament.

“My favorite thing I brought home

John Trahan comes from Smoky Hill to be the new head football coach at Highlands Ranch. He says winning is about a lot of little things — being on time to practice, doing the right things and not getting personal foul penalties.

Jeff Ketron led Douglas County to a state football title in 2005 and has resumed coaching as the new head coach at Chaparral.

He says he is taking over a program that is in good shape and the winning culture has been established.

was a baseball with all my team’s players’ names on it,” he said. “Now I have lifelong friends that I will keep in touch with. We got to keep the white jersey. I’m going to definitely frame it and hang it up.”

Area hospitals honored for heart, stroke care STAFF REPORT

Nine Centura Health hospitals have received Get With The Guidelines awards, given by American Heart Association/American Stroke Assication to hospitals that provide industryleading heart and stroke care.

“We are pleased to recognize so many of the Centura family of hospitals for their commitment to quality care,” Eric E. Smith, M.D., national chairman of the Get With The Guidelines steering committee, said in a news release. “Research has shown that hospitals adhering to clinical measures through the Get With The Guidelines quality improvement initiative often see fewer readmissions and lower mortality rates.”

Centura hospitals in Colorado Community Newspapers coverage areas being honored for stroke care are Cas-

tle Rock Adventist Hospital, Littleton Adventist Hospital, Parker Adventist Hospital, Porter Adventist Hospital in Denver, St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, and the St. Anthony North Health Campus in Westminster.

Castle Rock, Littleton, Parker, Porter, St. Anthony and St. Anthony North each received Get With The Guidelines’ Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award, the association’s most advanced level of recognition.

This award is earned by meeting specific quality achievement measures for the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients at a set level for a designated period, and these measures include evaluation of the proper use of medications as well as other stroke treatments aligned with the most up-to-date, evidence-based guidelines, with the goal of speeding recovery and reducing death and disability for

stroke patients, the release says.

Additionally, Castle Rock, Littleton, Parker, Porter and St. Anthony received the association’s Target: StrokeSM Honor Roll-Elite Plus award, while St. Anthony North earned the Target: Stroke Honor Roll.

To qualify for the Elite Plus award, hospitals must meet quality measures developed to reduce the time between the patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with the clot-buster, tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA, the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat ischemic stroke. The Elite Plus designation is the highest level of honor roll recognition levels.

Porter, St. Anthony and the St. Anthony North Health Campus also were recognized for high-level work in heart failure.

Porter earned the Heart Failure

Gold Plus and Target HR: Honor Roll recognition, while St. Anthony and St. Anthony North earned the Heart Failure Silver Plus and Target HF Honor Roll deisgnations.

Recognized hospitals have demonstrated a commitment to ensuring heart and stroke patients receive treatment using nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, based on the latest scientific evidence, and only those that meet specific quality achievement measures receive the honor.

According to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States. On average, someone in the United States suffers a stroke every 40 seconds and nearly 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year.
