Ron Walker, center, of Mr. Steak, a Denver-area cover band that revives hair metal, belts out lyrics to Van Halen’s “Jump” at the Alferd Packer Bacon Party in downtown Littleton on Aug. 29. Walker called the event “awesome” and said, “If you’ve got bacon, you’ve got to have a little steak in there somewhere.”

The third annual Alferd Packer Bacon Party brought hundreds of people to the parking lot of Reinke Bros. in downtown Littleton for food, music and a good cause. The Aug. 29 event, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Littleton, featured four bands, a half-dozen or so food trucks and free bacon samples.

It also was an opportunity to help the nonprofit organization Free the Girls by donating a gently used bra.

The group provides job opportunities for survivors of sex trafficking in developing countries, and the bras will be sold by women as part of that program.

When Bill Payne sees the drones, his eyes light up, and one can’t help wondering what’s behind them.

But he can’t tell you.

His wife, Linda, sheds some light on what might be going on in his mind as he watches the drones dart around the entryway of the Highline Place memory-care community on Aug. 25. She explains that her husband is a hero.

Col. Bill Payne was a pilot in the Air Force for 28 years. He was shot down twice in Vietnam, earning a Purple Heart. She met him later, when he applied for a job with the police department in Daytona, Florida. She happened to be sitting in for the chief’s secretary that day. He got the job and the girl, 41 years ago now. A state job with a search-and-rescue team eventually brought them to Colorado.

The burly Vietnam veteran walked up to Jack Frank, 90, a World War II vet facing the frightening quandary of living longer than he can support himself.

“You the vet I just donated to?” he Ann Macari asked, sticking out his hand. “I’m Bud.” Healey “I appreciate it,” Jack said, grabbing Bud Pacotti’s hand.

“So you’re WWII?” said Pacotti, who served in the Army and received two Purple Hearts. “My dad was at Normandy — the Italian campaign.”

“We were in the Pacific,” answered Jack, a mechanic with the Marines’ amphibious tank battalion that landed at Okinawa.

Pacotti, a Santa-like beard wrapping his face, looked steadily into Jack’s alert, blue eyes.

So, he asked, “What’s your situation?”

Jack’s situation is this: In about four months, he and his wife, Judee, 69, expect to run out of money.

That, in itself, is shameful, that any of our elders — including those who have fought for this country’s freedoms — should find themselves fearing the days ahead because there isn’t enough money in the bank.

There is shame, too, that the government may have failed Jack, unaware of benefits for WWII vets. No one told Jack.

But this also is a story of compassion, of heart.

Goodwill brimmed Saturday in the small, local tavern that held a fundraiser for Jack and Judee, palpable testimony that in a world often shadowed by distress and sorrow, kindness is alive and well.

“It shows,” said Christian Redmond, an Army cavalry scout veteran, “the best of America.”

Jack believed he’d planned well for his aging years, saving enough money to live until 100. But the 2008 financial crisis in the banking and mortgage industries decimated his retirement fund. Bills last year for unanticipated medical issues also swallowed big chunks.

Jack and Judee aren’t alone in their crisis.

We are living longer — statistics show life expectancy is steadily growing. But a 2015 study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, which has conducted research on retirement plans since 1978, also found among those who had died at age 85 or older, 20.6 percent had no nonhousing assets and about 12 percent had no assets left at all.

That kind of reality wounds one’s spirit.

“I know he’s felt like he’s not as much of a man because he can’t take care of us,”

Carlson’s No. 73 jersey accompanies Heritage players to coin toss

B j

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

This year’s Heritage High School players carried jersey No. 73 with them for the coin toss before the Aug. 28 Eagles-Cherry Creek football game.

The number was worn last season by senior Evan Carlson, who died in a car crash this summer.

One of the three players carrying Carlson’s jersey onto the field was his close friend Kenton Hewitt, who wore No. 73 for the game.

“He was more than a friend. Evan was like a brother to me,” Hewitt said after the game. “I normally wear number 67, but I am honored to wear his jersey number for tonight’s game.

“I’ll wear my regular number for most games,” he added, “but I might wear Evan’s number when we play Arapahoe.”

And then, nine months ago, primary progressive aphasia brought them to Highline Place, on South Broadway in Littleton.

“It took his ability to speak,” said Linda Payne. “But his body’s very healthy. We’ve had 41 glorious years.”

According to the National Aphasia Association, what Payne has is a rare neurological syndrome in which language capabilities become slowly and progressively impaired, while other mental functions remain preserved. It’s possible, however, for patients to learn new ways to communicate.

“Dementia doesn’t prevent people from experiencing new things,” said Elle Fore, Highline Place director of vibrant living.

“If anything, connecting them with what’s happening in the world becomes even more important, because it keeps them engaged and involved.”

Indeed, Payne’s bright, clear eyes

Steve Yamamoto pilots his quadcopter drone across the entryway to Highline Place memory-care facility on Broadway. He and other members of the Denver R/C Eagles Flying Club enjoyed demonstrating the technology for Highline Place’s residents. Photo by Jennifer Smith seemed full of curiosity as he watched the drone demonstration. And John Dickens said that’s just what he and other members of the Denver R/C Eagles flying club were going for, recognizing that many of the resi-

dents might not have seen such technology in use.

Dickens, too, was in the Air Force, from 1972-79. Just as his pilot training was coming to an end, so was the Vietnam War. He

ended up as a navigator, not quite realizing his lifelong dream of becoming a fighter m pilot. Today he continues to pursue his pas-h sion with remote-control versions of the j small planes he piloted in high school.

Dickens said the club enjoys engaging the community, especially seniors, in demonstrations like the one at Highline Place.

“We just like to give back to the community, and show the community we can fly airplanes responsibly,” he said. “There are some rowdies in the community that fly irresponsibly. We’d like to demonstrate that most of us are responsible.”

Some of them are also very enterprising.

Ron Cox, for example, built his six-propeller hexdrone from the ground up two years ago, adding GPS, a camera and computer chips. It can even be programmed to fly missions, said the retired systems engineer.

“But for the money I put into this, I could have a more well-built one now,” he said, pointing to Steve Yamamoto’s storebought quadcopter that he paid about $400 for, plus a $500 transmitter.

“I’m just amazed they can fly, at the physics of it,” said Yamamoto. “The sky’s the limit.”

Bronze creatures grace rec center Goodson gets two new sculptures on loan

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial welcomed two new sculptures to its grounds on Aug. 26.

“We’re very pleased to be able to display the art on loan,” said John Ostermiller, chairman of the South Suburban Parks and Recreation Board of Directors. “These are great pieces to show, and they help improve the looks of our various facilities around the district.”

District dignitaries gathered on the hot afternoon to enjoy lemonade, cookies and ice-cream sandwiches while hearing a little about the pieces.

Bill Nolan’s “The Catbird Seat” is a bronze cat seemingly keeping an eye out for unsuspecting birds to chase. After retiring from ranching, Nolan took up a second career as a wildlife artist.

“Taking every opportunity to be in the mountains and along the water’s edge, he has added to his knowledge of the subjects he sculpts,” reads his biography. “…

Bill’s works of art stress anatomical accuracy and correct range of movement.”

Sitting nearby is Christopher Powell’s “Living Storm,” the bust of a horse. Darcie LaScala, SSPR arts supervisor, said it’s a popular piece with kids, who like to get their pictures taken with it.

“I hear a lot of people say it’s a much friendlier version of the Mustang at Denver International Airport,” she said.

Powell was commissioned by the Colorado Avalanche to produce a bronze bust of Patrick Roy to commemorate the all-time goalie wins record (Roy was later surpassed by Martin Brodeur). Powell also helped create the national monument in Ottawa, Ontario, which memorializes Aboriginal war veterans.

The sculptures, which are all for sale, will live at Goodson in Centennial for a year thanks to SSPR’s Art-On-Loan program. The sculptures are selected via a competitive process, finally approved by the SSPR Board of Directors.

Artists must live in Colorado, and they earn an honorarium for the display. The district receives a 20 percent commission for sculptures that are purchased through the program. For more information, contact Vickie Willis at 303-483-7072.

Citizens give LPS good grades Littleton district conducts survey every two years

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com During his first board meeting since taking over as Littleton Public Schools superintendent, Brian Ewert got good news: More than three-fourths of residents who live within the LPS boundaries give the district a grade of either “A” or “B,” according to a survey conducted in June.

“You have a unique and special status,” said Lori Weigel, a partner with the national firm Public Opinion Strategies. She said the survey sampled a representative population of the community, with 37 percent of the 400 respondents identifying themselves as parents of students in the district.

The company has been conducting

surveys for LPS every two years for a decade, and the results have remained fairly consistent.

But the numbers did take a slight dip during the great recession, with results perhaps reflecting the fact that the district had closed two schools and undertaken significant budget cuts by 2010. That year, only 62 percent of the respondents felt like the district was better than others.

This year, that number hit an all-time high of 69 percent.

“What’s more important is looking at stability over time,” said Weigel. “Everything now is more in line with before the recession, and more positive.”

As the district has placed great emphasis on dealing with mental-health issues since the 2013 shootings at Arapahoe High School, the survey for the first time asked how people think LPS is coping.

Forty-two percent said “good” or “excellent,” but 35 percent said they didn’t

know.

“I don’t think the community understands what we do around mental health,” said Ewert. “There might be an actionable item around that. … How do we let the community know? Mental health is a very private and confidential thing.”

Weigel said it might just be that people don’t see mental health as a core responsibility of the district.

“It might not be a disconnect, but they just might not see it as something that schools need to do,” she said.

The top three priorities people identified are safety, hands-on opportunities for STEM experiences, and attracting and retaining good teachers, and they felt the district was doing a good job on them, said Weigel. Eighty-eight percent said they would recommend LPS to parents seeking a district for their kids.

Diane Leiker, director of communica-

WHAT RESPONDENTS SAID Some of the survey’s other findings are that the Littleton Public Schools’ district: Handles finances well — 80 percent Has high academic expectations — 91 percent Supports teachers and staff — 82 percent Communicates well with the community — 84 percent Supports struggling students — 73 percent

tions for the district, said those results show that the board has kept its community in mind when prioritizing budget items.

“The survey helps the district stay in tune with its taxpayers,” she said.

Alternative campus shaping up nicely for students Principals say they are seeing results from collaboration

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Work started four years ago to turn the Options Secondary Program into a cohesive campus, but its leaders say the process is already increasing student performance even though there’s more to do.

“The thoughtful and methodical way you have done this is touching,” said Mary Nichols, Littleton Public Schools Board of Education member, during the Aug. 28 board meeting.

The campus houses four alternative programs: Options middle and high schools for at-risk kids, and Redirections middle and high schools for those who have been expelled or are about to be.

Ten percent of the students are homeless,

and they chart significantly higher than average on a test that measures adverse childhood experiences.

“They bring their experiences and their trauma with them every day, and they need to learn to trust adults,” said Ron Mangum, dean of students.

Some of the changes have been simple, like creating the new phoenix logo and outfitting the athletic teams in actual uniforms.

“When people look good, it shows they matter,” said Ashley Broer, middle school principal.

Others changes have impacted the culture of the campus on a deeper level.

The program has implemented social and emotional systems aimed at problemsolving and restorative justice, and built in time for daily academic intervention.

Instead of traditional 18-week semesters, the high-schoolers operate in six-week “hexters” as a way to keep them moti-

vated.

“If a kid’s already not doing well at the six-week point, they don’t see the point in coming to school,” said Greg Sumerlin, high school principal, adding that fixing things in six weeks seems more attainable than in 18.

The schools are still struggling to get more parent involvement, because research shows kids do better when their parents are engaged.

“It’s about changing the script for the parents, so they realize that not every phone call from us is bad,” said Broer.

By instituting policies consistently across the campus, staff has seen reductions in negative behaviors as well as significant academic improvement. Tru-

Options works for kids who broke the mold Mom, son say it changed their lives

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Charlie Bonilla may be the star of a short film about the Options Secondary Program that its staff screened for the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education on Aug. 27, but to his mom, he’s a superstar.

“It’s impacted his grades tremendously,” Gwen Bonilla says in the film. “He’s not getting below Bs. … It’s the first time ever I had a kid coming home excited to

tell me what he was learning about.”

Charlie, a 15-year-old sophomore, has been in the alternative program since eighth grade. He said he’s found acceptance at Options, and has learned how to work through life’s stickier situations rather than responding irrationally.

“He’s extremely intelligent, but he lacked a lot of confidence,” said teacher Brian White. “He didn’t know how to advocate for himself.”

His mom says attending Options removed barriers in Charlie’s life.

“Everyone knows this is a place where everybody can meet their goals,” she said. “Even kids that don’t fit the mold and might need a different way of learning.”

ancy at the high-school level decreased by more than 25 percent, and the graduation rate increased by 8.5 percent.

The changes won’t all be fully implemented until fall 2016, because the Whitman building will be occupied by Damon Runyon Elementary School kids until the new roof on their own school is complete.

Next year, the Options middle school program will move back from the high school facility across the street, and it will be able to accept sixth-graders for the first time.

The school will also get new science labs on a par with others in the district, and a new culinary room.

“You’re making a difference in the kids’ lives, for the rest of their lives,” said Lucie Stanish, board member.

The four stores are among recent new additions to Park Meadows, recently highlighted during the Lone Tree shopping

mall’s anniversary pancake breakfast.

Walking into Lolli and Pops is like stepping back into the old-fashioned candy stores of the 1940s and ’50s. Bins of every imaginable confection line the walls. An enticing glass case houses specialty chocolates and baked goods, and in the back is an entire section dedicated to gummies.

You can fill your own bag or jar with whatever candy you like for $13 a pound.

“You fill it up with any candy you want and then we weigh it,” Lolli and Pop’s Kelly Comstock said. “Based on that weight, you pay your price. It’s $13 per pound, but you aren’t obligated to fill it up to that pound.

Yesterday, someone paid $1. It’s whatever you want.”

The sweets shop also offers glass jars at various price points that come with free

refills.

“It’s a really good gift because it’s one price,” Comstock said. “It’s $100 for our smallest jar and then you get free refills for a whole calendar year.”

Lolli and Pops also offers a jar that gives you free refills forever.

Ivivva, owned by Lulu Lemon, sells athletic wear for girls ages 4-14 and opened about a month ago. Like its big-sister store, Ivivva often uses live models in its windows and hosts events such as the Sept. 5 cheerleading clinic with a former University of Colorado cheerleader.

“She’s going to go over dreams and goals and kind of share her story about how she got to where she is today,” said Reba Kurcera of Ivivva. “She’s a coach now. We like to put a lot of stress on dreams and goals

for girls and get them thinking about their future.”

The Melt is a gourmet burger shop that opened its first Colorado location in Park Meadows. Chipotle will be opening Sept.14 — it will be Chipotle’s first food court location in Colorado.

According to Park Meadows General Manager Pamela Schenck-Kelly, the new additions are part of an updating of the dining area that includes changes to the look of the restaurants.

“We want to make it fun and exciting, so we’re changing out what our design criteria is,” Kelly said. “Before, the materials were a little more natural and now we have a more sleek, industrial look. Open kitchens.

We want people to really be able to see in there.”

Bush hit from both sides on birthright citizenship Democrats apparently see candidate as likely nominee Associated Press Jeb Bush came to a Denver-area Veterans of Foreign Wars post to talk about veterans’ affairs on Aug. 25, but two words hung over the town hall event in Sheridan: anchor babies.

That’s the loaded term that Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has used to refer to U.S.-born children of people who come to the country illegally. The babies have automatic U.S. citizenship under the first section of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, something that Trump and other foes of high immigration levels decry.

As Bush has detailed his position — supporting birthright citizenship but concerned about the “birth tourism” industry that flies predominantly

wealthy Asian mothers to the U.S. for childbirth — he’s been questioned more than the reality show star. In response to a query at the town hall, Bush showed his frustration.

“When I was 17 years old, I fell in love with Columba Garnica de Bush,” he said, referring to his Mexican-born wife. “It’s going to be really hard for me to get lectured to by anybody about the politics of immigration.”

Recently, after Bush used the term “anchor babies” to say he was concerned about some possible abuses of birthright citizenship, he came under fire from the left. On Aug. 24, Bush said he was talking about some “Asian people” rather than the vast majority of immigrants having children in the U.S. That drew another round of criticism from Democrats.

On Aug. 25, Bush elaborated even further: “I was talking about a very narrow system of fraud in which people are bringing in pregnant women to have babies to exploit birthright citizenship.”

Bush is describing a real phenom-

enon that has drawn concern from the Obama administration. Earlier this year, federal authorities served search warrants on three dozen homes in California as part of an investigation into three businesses that fly Chinese expectant mothers to the United States, put them up in special hotels and deliver their children. Authorities filed charges against 10 Chinese nationals who violated federal court orders in the case and fled the country.

The size of the “birth tourism” business is unknown. The Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington think tank that favors greater restrictions on immigration, has estimated that about 40,000 babies are born to birth tourists, most of whom legally enter the country, annually.

Still, Democrats continued to hammer Bush for the statements, indicating that the party considers him a more likely eventual Republican nominee than Trump, despite the real estate mogul’s lead in the polls. In a hastily organized

conference call Aug. 25, Rep. Judy Chu, D-California, did not mention Trump but called on Bush to apologize to Asian Americans.

Rep. Mike Honda, D-California, who represents the nation’s only majorityAsian congressional district, called Bush’s statement “a slur against all immigrants.”

Bush’s own strong ties to immigrant communities — he speaks fluent Spanish — threatens Democrats’ edge with Hispanics and Asians.

In Colorado, many of the several dozen people at the town hall asked Bush about immigration. One asked him to describe the difference between his stance and Trump’s, a contrast Bush has been increasingly trying to make.

“Mr. Trump believes you can just round people up,” said Bush, calling that idea contrary to American values and not “practical.” Bush favors a path to legal status for many of the people in the country illegally.

Phone scam Someone is trying to scam area residents by placing calls that appear to be coming from

the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. The scammer provides a phone number with a 347 area code, but the caller ID indicates the call is coming from 303-795-4711, which is the nonemergency dispatch number.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office wants to remind the community that numbers on caller ID can be faked and should not be presumed to be an accurate representation of the caller. These types of scams generally involve the scammer telling the victim that they have an outstanding warrant, have missed jury duty or committed some other infraction, and that they have to pay a fine.

They may even offer a fake case number. They then try to convince people to make the payment using a Moneygram

transfer or prepaid credit card.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office recommends not speaking with these types of callers. Never give financial or other personal information to these callers. This includes your full name, date of birth, Social Security number, credit card numbers or bank account information.

Church project helps Haitian women 33 become seamstresses in plan tied to Colorado

By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com While stopping for a Coca-Cola on a hot day in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, a photographer snapped a photo of a young local girl.

That photo became the catalyst for a project that has now changed the lives of 33 Haitian women, thanks to Littleton Church of Christ’s organization, Helping Haiti’s Children.

When member Barbara Dean first saw the photograph four or so years ago, she noticed the girl was missing buttons on her blouse.

“This is too easy to fix,” she told organization founder David Heath. He responded, “You have to realize you have to have a needle, thread and a button to fix it. They don’t have that.”

That’s when things got started. The group at the church in Centennial began putting together a plan to find a solution for those in the small Caribbean country almost 2,500 miles away.

“We started by handing out sewing machines and doing a week-long seamstress class to show women how to sew their garments,” member Jeff Simpson said. “It exploded into something really great.”

With more than $2,000 donated from churches, members took 11 antique sewing machines bought from eBay and trained 11 women in Haiti how to use them. As of July 19, 33 Haitian women walked the stage and graduated from “A la chapelle de College Pratique du Nord” as certified seamstresses.

The college, which was created last year by the church’s Haitian contact, Lucner

Haitian women celebrate with a parade after 33 walked the stage to graduate from college to become seamstresses. The college was set up in conjuction with Littleton Church of Christ’s organization, Helping Haiti’s Children, Haitian elder Lucner Pierre and an anonymous donor. Courtesy photo by Helping Haiti’s Children Pierre, is similar to a community college in the U.S. It was funded by an anonymous donor, Simpson said. The women who graduated were awarded $300 cash, sewing machines and supplies to start up their own business or work in Haiti’s Hanes garment plant.

“Some children just don’t have clothes, and in order to go to school, they have to wear uniforms,” Simpson said. “What’s awesome is to see these people who have so little still be so joyous and appreciative of everything they have. It makes problems here seem small. You know, we have problems with our Internet or with our Xbox, and they don’t even have buttons on their

clothes.”

Simpson said he and the group of 11 just got back from their seven-day trip for the graduation, but that he’s been traveling to Haiti since 2008. Of all the projects the group has tried since its inception in 2007, the sewing project caught on the most, he said.

Heath began the organization at Littleton Church of Christ because it was successful at his former church in Louisiana. After 15 years of trips to the village, he agreed, the simplicity of training Haitian women to sew has been a hit.

“We’ve tried a lot of things,” Heath said.

“I even took a special class for growing

WHAT’S NEEDED The Helping Haiti’s Children organization has a big need for donations, said founder David Heath. To ship only 50 pounds of equipment or materials from Florida to Haiti, it costs more than $150 — which costs more than the product. Right now, hundreds of pounds of sewing material are sitting in Dean’s garage because of a lack of funds to ship them, Heath said.

To get involved and help donate, visit Helping Haiti’s Children on Facebook at https://www.facebook. com/pages/Helping-Haitis-Children/137400431751 or email Heath at drh90@hotmail.com.

Donations may be sent to Littleton Church of Christ, 6495 S. Colorado Blvd., Centennial, CO 80121.

seeds in a compact environment and it was amazing, when we gave out the product, they (Haitians) wanted the bags, not the seeds, so it didn’t pan out. Then we bought $80,000 in welding machines to teach that and now there’s only two or three left because they had to sell them because they’re in poverty.”

Among solar panel purification systems, mechanics and electronics, this “button thing” exploded, Heath said. Simpson believes it’s because the women in their culture seem to follow through and succeed with a business, because it’s their right to take care of the family. They know that money is their food for the future, he said.

“The importance of this is that we’re providing employment and jobs, generating income and food and bettering living conditions. There’s a need, and over there it seemed with every issue that walked in the door, the answer walked in right behind it,” Heath said.

CDOT hopes for C-470 interim construction phase in 2016 New toll lanes included in next year’s projects

In Loving Memory

September 3, 2015

The Colorado Department of Transportation hosted an informational session Aug. 26 at the Lone Tree Arts Center to take public comment and answer questions about a number of projects set to take place along the C-470 corridor.

The projects, which include new toll lanes, drew a great deal of public comment at the meeting, with residents who live in the area voicing concerns about noise. The various improvement projects will cost an estimated $340 million to $380 million and have a long-term completion goal of 2035.

CDOT also proposed an interim 2016 construction phase that would tackle a portion of the long-term projects for the highway, including the new toll lanes.

“We do not have $340 to $380 million to do this project today,” said Jon Chesser, environmental program manager for CDOT. “Nor do we have the traffic analysis that shows the full build-out is required today.

It’s an incremental increase over time (building to) that ultimate 2035 design.”

For 2016, CDOT is proposing an interim construction phase with improvements extending from I-25 to Wadsworth. It does include tolls and the new capacity to be tolled. The existing non-tolled lanes will remain.

“The idea of the project is to provide the driver with options on how you want to get from A to B,” Chesser said.

The cost of the interim project is currently estimated at $269 million—funding

for the project includes federal dollars, state dollars as well as financing using toll revenues.

Ultimately, plans for the road include tolled lanes that will extend in each direction between Interstate 25 and Kipling Parkway, with a second tolled express lane westbound between I-25 and Lucent Boulevard, and eastbound between Broadway and I-25.

Carter Sales, president of the Highlands Ranch Neighborhood Coalition, gave a special presentation regarding the potential noise impact of the changes. Sales and the HRNC represent about 1,000 households along the southern part of C-470, and Sales said many are concerned about the additional racket that would accompany construction.

“We’re not opposed to the highway expansion, but we live with the noise generated by C-470 24 hours a day,” Sales said.

In 2006, CDOT released an environmental assessment for the area that recommended 2 miles of noise abatement walls and berms to be installed during construction along the south side of C-470 in Highlands Ranch between University Boulevard and Quebec Street. The project was put on hold, and the noise barriers have been removed from the most recent plans.

The assessment period for the project began July 29 and will continue through Sept. 11. The complete document also is available in electronic format on the CDOT website, where comments can be submitted.

No action will be taken until the assessment period is completed and CDOT reviews the comments and concerns brought up during the review process. For additional information, see www.codot. gov/projects/c470.

PROJECTS PROPOSED FOR 2016 INCLUDE: • Westbound: Two tolled express lanes from I-25 to Colorado; one tolled lane from Colorado to Wadsworth.

• Eastbound: One tolled express lane from west of the South Platte River to I-25.

• Auxiliary lanes in select locations.

• Direct connection ramps from I-25 to westbound express lanes.

• Water quality features, noise barri-

ers and other environmental mitigation required by revised environmental assessment.

•Tolling equipment.

•Reconstruction of bridges over the South Platte River, existing pavement, and the C-470 Trail with added grade separations at Quebec and Colorado.

• Two general purpose lanes will remain untolled in each direction.

Learning to succeed together This is so much more than a golf story, so stay with me on this one, OK? You see, one of my favorite things about golf season is having the opportunity to participate and play in fundraising events. These are tournaments set up to help large and small charities alike raise money in a fun and competitive way.

Now if you have never played or participated in one of these events, let me share with you that regardless of how well you play or how off your game may be, the format usually allows for everyone to contribute individually, and then based on how well you are all playing together, you may even have a shot at winning.

The format is typically “best ball,” meaning that everyone tees off, and depending on who had the best shot, everyone in the group would get to play their next shot from that “best ball” spot and then continue in that same way until the hole has been completed.

And for someone like me who may be having an off year or who had recently developed a case of the shanks, it is great to be able to have others on the team set us all up for success.

Some of these outings have hundreds of players, with some people recruiting the very best golfers that they know in their quest to win. I mean, they will make sure they have someone who can really get off the tee with consistency, ensuring that there is always a ball in play. They will bring someone who can hit the ball a long way to maybe capitalize on a shot that is much closer to the green. And then they make sure they have a person who has an excellent short game. And because everyone has the opportunity to putt, there are typically one or two great putters on the team.

There have been times when I have been part of groups in which our team was assembled randomly, with no consideration for the golf skills or lack of golf talent that any of us had, and yet we won. We were able to win because on that day we each contributed Michael Norton something individually on every hole, so that WINNING collectively we played WORDS off of each other so well that our final score was significantly below par and lower than any other team on that given day.

What if we were in groups or had teams of people in our lives where we could play “best ball” in some of the important areas of our life? I mean, what if we had a person who could really help us with managing our finances, and someone else on our team who could help put us in a better position physically, and maybe another team member whom we could rely on for emotional support or advice when needed? Who is the spiritual leader on our team who can keep us in the middle of the fairways of life when we tend to drift away from our path? And if we all played together, playing off of each other’s strengths, could we all help one another win more often and win more of the close ones in life? I bet we could.

And let’s take a look at this concept in the business world. One smart strategy that really worked out well for a company that I had

worked with was to set up their commission and bonus structure based on team results instead of individual contribution. When they won a big opportunity and delivered the products and services successfully to the client’s satisfaction, the team was rewarded as a whole. There was a person who generated the lead or opportunity, there was the salesperson who worked with the prospect to win the business, there was an account manager who maintained the relationship, and there was an implementation and delivery team who made sure that everything went according to the plan. They all received a different percentage of the commission and bonus pool, but they all saw how important each one of their roles and individual contributions was to finding, winning and maintaining loyal customers.

So maybe you already know who these people are in your life and you can assemble that perfect “best ball” team for yourself. Or maybe you will find them randomly or by coincidence or by introduction from someone else, and that’s all OK. Because the important thing to remember is that as each of you contribute individually, you will all succeed together.

What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Do you believe in the spirit of teamwork and its impact on success? I would love to hear your thoughts at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can all contribute individually and succeed together, it really will be a better than good week.

Another episode of hate-driven murders I try to place some humor in most of my columns. Not this time. Because of the madness in Roanoke, Virginia.

It made my heart cry, if that’s possible.

Add it to Charlotte and all of the schools and other places where gunfire has ended lives.

That’s not being entirely fair, but I don’t particularly care.

We just like to shoot at each other.

What happened in Roanoke happens in half of the movies and television programs that are made in America. And people pay to watch.

I just don’t get it.

Some of us lose our way. The population is shaped with hundreds — thousands — of powder kegs.

Sculptor Henry Moore said, “To be an artist is to believe in life.”

I believe in life, but I have missed my off ramp a few times.

Sometimes I wonder why I am still here.

Art has saved my life more than once, and it probably has prevented me from doing some things that I would have regretted.

A dachshund saves my life every day.

I have a screen saver — savior — of my father.

Maybe most of us have been close to destructive behavior at one time or another.

But the killer’s hatefulness is inexplicable to me.

Roanoke is the same size as Highlands

Ranch. It’s not Chicago on the Fourth of July, where 10 were killed and 55 were wounded in gun violence.

I woke wanting to hear about Donald Trump’s little dance with Jorge Ramos the night before, but instead I Craig Marshall Smith got this.

QUIET I’ll be OK. I don’t DESPERATION have any other choice.

In a week, I will be as good as new.

The Roanoke’s station manager said that the incident will mark the station forever. He’s probably right.

What do you think about now when you hear the words “Sandy Hook”?

For a while there will be saturation coverage about where the killer grew up, his favorite bands, if he ever had a date. I am not interested.

He’s in the history books now. He gained notoriety that didn’t come through good works.

Adam Ward, the photographer, was shown wearing a Virginia Tech shirt. Remember Virginia Tech?

Someone said this is becoming normal for

America. But there have always been nutcakes. Have you ever heard of Charles Starkweather?

It just seems like there are more of them now.

I am starting to depress myself, so I will get off of it.

I will be lighter the next time. I promise.

Many people get through these things because of their faith. That’s not me.

What happened in Roanoke happened on the same day James Holmes was sentenced to life and 3,318 years right over there in Centennial.

Another nutcake is probably waiting in the wings.

I guess we just have to hope that we are not the next clipping.

What I am about to say won’t make any sense. But neither did Roanoke.

“For all we know this may only be a dream / We come and go like ripples on a stream / So love me tonight / Tomorrow was made for some / Tomorrow may never come / For all we know / Yes, tomorrow may never, never come / For all we know” Rest in peace, Alison and Adam.

Let’s put an end to profanity in ads I have written before about profanity in mass media advertising, and I’ve gotten some pretty strong responses.

Some people thanked me, saying that, as parents, it’s hard enough to keep quality in their children’s lives. Others, however, took issue with my position that profane expressions — and the words and phrases that stand in for them — have no place in mass media. In fact, one person called me a prudish, puritanical, liberal nanny. Clearly, he has no idea what an oxymoron is.

Let me say here that I don’t care if you use swear words in private conversation (just please keep it private). But I sincerely believe that swear words and their euphemisms are offensive to the point of being vulgar in mainstream media advertising.

No, I don’t mean TV programs — though I am often left with my mouth hanging open

at what gets said or implied there — I mean ads in prime-time television and radio, on billboards and in print. And, sure, what cable outlets and the Web can get away with is pretty darn graphic, but I’m talking about what you and I and our families are exposed to Andrea Doray on a daily basis.

ALCHEMY For example, there’s the word “suck,” which is usually employed to mean “not good.”

However, in what must have been an attempt at clever wordplay, a car wash posted a billboard telling us that “A reviewer said

our vacuums suck.” I’ll bet they don’t mean that “our vacuums are not good.” Besides, although it is common enough in casual speech now, this used to be a bad word because of the sexual connotation that made it a crude expression in the first place.

And then there are the stand-ins — flippin’, freakin’ and the like — used as adjectives to replace the “f” word. I’m thinking of commercials that have been in our market, such as one for a theme park, which advertised that it’s “so flippin’ fun,” or another for wireless connections that are “so flippin’ fast,” in the words of an apparently real person trying out the service.

But wait … how about the Toyota ad that urged us to “Go fun ourselves”? Toyota must have gotten some serious blowback on that Doray continues on Page 10

Road construction project proposed Plaza Circle Drive will provide access to several properties

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com A $1.7 million road construction project proposed in Douglas County would provide new access to a planned housing development, a future light rail station and undeveloped property belonging to Englewood.

“The four-lane road that will be called Plaza Circle will run about 2,000 feet connecting at both ends to Plaza Drive,” said Rick Kahm, Englewood’s public works director. “The road will provide access

not now available to sites owned by the Regional Transportation District, MKS developers and the Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation.”

The three agencies involved agreed the circle road is the best solution to provide access to Plaza Drive, Kahm said. Each of the three agencies will contribute money to pay for construction of the road, which he hopes is built in 2016.

A tentative agreement calls for RTD to contribute $500,000, MKS Developers $400,000 and the reservoir foundation $800,000.

Englewood City Council approved the proposal to provide the foundation portion of the cost by borrowing money from the city’s long-term asset reserve fund, which comes from sale and lease pay-

Englewood obtained property in what was then rural Douglas County in the mid-1950s when the city bought the land for McLellan Reservoir. The foundation sites that border on Plaza Circle are among the final remaining vacant parcels of Douglas County property owned by Englewood.

The new road will open three foundation-owned sites to development. The plan is to repay the loan in the next two years with payments from tenants who lease the city-owned sites.

Englewood Deputy City Manager Mike Flaherty, who also is on the foundation board of directors, said RTD purchased 10 acres of land in the area of the proposed road from the foundation, which is where the Highlands Ranch Light Rail Station is scheduled to be built.

A short distance to the north, MKS Developers plans to lease land from the foundation and construct a two-building, 278-apartment complex. The developer’s goal is to complete construction by the end of 2016.

said Judee, who notes that in 33 years of marriage she and Jack have had just two disagreements. “That’s it. He’s a great guy.”

For Jack’s neighbors in the Parker complex where he lives, the call to action was immediate.

“He’s just a good man,” said Ron Meier, 56, a member of the condominium’s board. “Anytime the association needs a volunteer, he does it. All he wants to do is help people.”

Then, too, he fought in WWII. He is a vanishing relic.

According to numbers from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 492 WWII vets are dying every day. Of the 16 million who served in that war, a little more than 855,000 remain. By 2036, it is estimated no living veterans of World War II will be left.

Jack was 17 when he enlisted in the Marines. He was at Okinawa and Guadalcanal, crucial battles in the Pacific theater.

For that service, Jack’s friends believe, society owes Jack — and all veterans —a debt of gratitude that they say often, sadly, goes unpaid.

“I love my country,” Redmond said.

“But when it comes to getting benefits for our veterans, it could use a little work.”

Bob Nobles, 55, who with his wife, Nancy, owns Takoda Tavern, agreed.

“They amaze me every single day,” he said. “Our country could do a lot better by taking care of our elders and our children who have fought wars for us.”

So Nobles, Meier, Redmond, Mac McCrory and Aaron Davis quickly pulled together a benefit to raise money for Jack.

They held it Saturday at the Nobles’ tavern, an area hangout for veterans where American flags and banners on walls proclaim support for troops, POW-MIAs, Marines and other military branches.

Jack’s neighbor, Alan Chiu, 27, showed up in his dress blues. They talk about life and have become friends.

Staff Sgt. David Schutt, 30, from the local Marines recruiting office came. Jack has stopped in to chat a few times.

Retired Navy Lt. Cmdr. Kurt “K.B.” Blair, 49, who served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm, came. He is treasurer of the Denver chapter of the Combat Vets Association, whose slogan is “vets helping vets.”

The night before, he sent an email blast to members asking them to rally.

“We’re more like brothers and sisters,” he said, “like a big family that watches out for each other.”

Combat Vets member Mike Alsop, 32, an infantry reconnaissance scout in the Army who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, read it and came.

“He’s got our respect,” Alsop said of Jack. “Whatever generation, whatever war, we’re combat veterans that support each other …”

And, fortunately, Dr. Raya came, too.

Raya, 63, who replaced his birth name of George Ray with his tribal name, fought in Vietnam and helps veterans in Phoenix navigate the VA system. He happened to be visiting a friend in Parker and heard of the event. He told Jack he was eligible for a pension that will likely provide him with more than $1,300 a month.

“This,” a relieved Jack said, “is going to help me for years.”

He and Judee need about $1,000 more a month than their Social Security income to cover basic monthly expenses of mortgage, utilities, food and medical care.

That Jack didn’t know about the pension didn’t surprise many veterans at the fundraiser, who called the situation “disgraceful.” Reports show many veterans and their dependents don’t receive benefits they’re eligible for because they don’t know about programs or how to apply for them.

“The government’s not good about putting that stuff out there,” Alsop said.

S2

“When our service time is up, we’re kind of on our own. That’s why we take care of each other.”

By the end, about $16,000 had been collected, Meier said. The money will go into a separate bank account. This week, Jack will meet with a financial adviser to determine how best to plan for the years ahead.

The generosity reaffirmed Meier’s faith in human nature.

Some of the money came from unemployed vets, “who say, `I got $20. I got $40. This is all I can afford. If I could give more I would,’ ” he said. “It moves your heart.”

Jack couldn’t believe the turnout. “I didn’t know I had so many friends.”

He scanned the crowd, his red First Marine Division cap on his head. His fingers brushed a tear from the corner of his eye.

Why the tear, he was asked.

He gestured at the people in the room.

“For all this.”

Maybe we, too, should wipe away a tear — one for sorrow, one for the redeeming power of community.

One for all of this.

Hazardous waste roundup scheduled Event will be held on two Saturdays at ServiCenter

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The annual household hazardous materials roundup offers Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan residents the opportunity to recycle items like oil-based paint and lawn chemicals, as well as office equipment like computers and printers for a small fee.

The first session of the roundup will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 12, and a second session will be accepting materials during the same hours Sept. 19, both at the Englewood ServiCenter, 2800 S. Platte River Drive.

John Gutierrez said the event came at a good time for him.

“I have been moving my mother to my home and cleaning out her house,” the Sheridan man said. “I believe in protecting the environment; a lot of this stuff shouldn’t just be dumped in the trash, but I didn’t know what to do with it. Now I do.

I have so much stuff like oil paint, paint thinner and fertilizer that I’ll probably be at the roundup both days.”

Event sponsors include the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission, the City of Littleton, the City of Sheridan and MEteck, an electronics recycling company. Denver

Residents in their cars line up to drop off materials at last year’s household hazardous waste roundup. The event is open only to Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan residents and will be held this year on Sept. 12 and Sept. 19. Courtesy photo firefighters will also help out at the event.

The roundup will only accept materials from Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan residents, so individuals who drop off materials must present proof that they live in one of the three cities. Staff won’t accept materials from residents of other communities or from commercial firms.

Items that can be dropped off at the

roundup include antifreeze, automobile batteries, flammable liquids like gasoline and paint thinner, lawn and garden chemicals, motor oil, oil-based paint and propane tanks. Items that use mercury like thermometers and barometers will also be accepted.

There is a limit of 10 gallons of material per vehicle, and there is a cost of $20 to

drop off items.

There is no charge to drop off cell phones, desk phones, toner cartridges, copiers and fax machines, but there is a charge of $20 per monitor and television set.

While the roundup will accept antifreeze and motor oil, organizers remind residents it isn’t necessary to save those until the roundup, because a number of Englewood and Littleton businesses accept the items free of charge all year so the materials can be recycled. A list of those businesses is given to those who visit the roundup.

Latex paint will no longer be accepted.

Over the history of the roundup, hundreds of gallons of latex paint have been collected, but it is no longer considered a hazardous material and can be disposed of by removing the lid to dry it out, then putting it in the trash. Adding kitty litter to the mix speeds up the drying process. Another option is to pour the latex paint in a plasticlined cardboard box, which works best if the paint is an inch deep or less.

The first roundup was held in 1992 and was for Englewood residents only. In 1998, the program was expanded to include Littleton residents. About 200 people normally visit the event. The goal is to recycle all the materials collected. .

For more information about the event, Englewood residents can call 303-7622345 and Littleton residents can call 303795-3748.

School bus crashes in Highlands Ranch No serious injuries reported in collision on Broadway

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Douglas County School District bus carrying 29 children was involved in a crash with a pickup on Broadway near

Northridge Recreation Center in Highlands Ranch the afternoon of Aug. 27.

Three children were treated on the scene for “bumps and bruises,” and neither driver required care for injuries, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

The children from Northridge Elementary were taken to nearby Christ Lutheran Church, where another bus was sent to take them home.

The driver of the bus, who has not been identified, was ticketed for careless driving, a sheriff’s office spokeswoman said. There will be a review process before the bus driver will be allowed to transport students again, a spokeswoman for the school district said.

The driver of the other vehicle, Barrie Brinkley, did not receive a ticket. She said she was bruised and shaken but otherwise fine. She was on her way to refill her mom’s oxygen before heading to pick both of her parents up from Sky Ridge Medical Center, where her father had been a patient.

“I never made it,” she said.

She said she was heading north on Broadway when a car pulled out in front of her off Southpark Road. She slowed down to keep from hitting it, but the bus followed the car and she couldn’t avoid

plowing right into the driver’s side. The momentum pushed her across into the oncoming lanes, and she ended up facing west.

“If my seat belt hadn’t locked up, I’m sure I would have been in the steering wheel and probably not awake,” she said as she watched her Chevy Silverado pickup being loaded onto a tow truck. “I didn’t really get concerned until smoke started coming in, and I couldn’t open the door or the windows.”

An employee from the nearby elementary school was able to yank the truck’s door open, though Brinkley didn’t get his name to thank him.

The crash happened less than a mile from a sheriff’s office substation, and Brinkley said there were at least a halfdozen patrol cars on scene almost immediately.

Rick Wilson’s dogs, Lucy and Mya, are his family. Photos by Shanna Fortier

For many Coloradans, dogs are family members

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

C

oloradans have cited many reasons for adding dogs to their families, from comfort and companionship to reminders to seek joy in life. Dogs make people look forward to coming home and teach patience and responsibility.

A national pet survey estimates 37 percent to 47 percent of households in the United States have a dog. That’s 70 million to 80 million dogs that have been added to families.

Milo’s Kitchen brand dog treats recently released a study naming Colorado as the 16th most “dog happy” U.S. state.

But you don’t need statistics to see how much dogs mean to residents in the south metro Denver area.

All you need are eyes: Dogs on walks throughout neighborhoods. Dogs riding in the back seats of cars. Dogs lying under tables in restaurants. Dogs running through open space.

Fur-children are almost everywhere.

‘They are my family’ “I think it’s one of the best dog ownership areas in the country,” said Rick Wilson, as he trailed behind Mya, his 10-month-old white Siberian husky, just after 8 a.m. at the Glendale Farms Open Space in Castle Rock. Wilson and his dogs visit the space almost daily.

“They are my family,” he said, adding that he lives alone. “Dogs are pack animals, and we’re their pack.”

As they walked, Lucy, his American Eskimo/ papillon mix, stuck close to Wilson as though she were his shadow.

“She never leaves my side — we’re madly in

Teaching responsibility

Nancy Hampton says her family’s Rhodesian ridgeback, Remington,

In Parker, resident Nancy Hampton walked her family’s Rhodesian ridgeback, Remington, around the perimeter of the football field as her youngest son attended practice at the Bayou Gulch Regional Park. The Hampton family added Remington to their pack for companionship and protection.

“The boys wrestle with him — they’re pretty rowdy,” she said, laughing as she pictured the raucousness. “But they have to have some responsibility with cleaning up after him and picking up their toys — unless they want them eaten.

They’ve learned that.”

love,” he said about the 10-year-old dog.

Lucy, on the other hand, explored the grass, the people and the other dogs getting in their morning playtime. Wilson added Lucy to his family after meeting her on an RV trip to the Grand Canyon.

“This one kept jumping in my arms,” he said, while motioning to her as she wagged her tail and ran back toward him.

Three days after returning from his trip, Wilson had the husky flown to Colorado from Alabama.

He hopes that with her friendly disposition, Lucy will make a good therapy dog.

“I’ve always wanted to raise a therapy dog,” he said. “Hopefully, in a month or so, we can start testing her with partners.”

‘It’s kinda like grandkids’

Amy Synnestvedt spends time each day at parks with her 1-year-old cattle dog mix, Scout.

Fur-siblings Amy Synnestvedt is hoping to teach her 1-year-old cattle dog mix, Scout, how to socialize with other dogs and children before she becomes a big sister.

“I think cattle dogs, you might need to do some extra training, because she’s an attention seeker,” Synnestvedt said, as Scout ran after a ball at the Wynetka Ponds in Littleton. “Sharing will probably be an issue, but she’ll be great. She’s so sweet. She’s such a great dog.”

The Synnestvedts added Scout to their family when they rescued her at 9 weeks old.

“We just could not resist,” she said. “There’s just an incredible bond. We’re totally in love with her — borderline obsessed.”

Highlands Ranch resident Cindy Cordes is not a dog owner, but in 2014 she dog-sat for 50 weeks out of the year.

“I think that dog owners want the best place for their dogs and they know at my house, I love them like they’re mine,” she said while sitting on a bench at Hound Hill at Highland Heritage Park. Harry and Rosie, the two dogs she was watching at the time, ran around the park.

Cordes hasn’t always been a dog person. She had a cat for 25 years, and when the cat died seven years ago, a client asked if Cordes would watch her dog over the weekend.

“That’s how it started,” she said.

But the dogs she does watch spend time with her on a regular basis.

“That’s what their owners like. They want them to have familiarity and not be in a kennel,” she said. “It’s kinda like grandkids. I can love them and play with them and spoil them and then send them home.”

What did your summer sound like?

Conventional wisdom says the “song of the summer” is the track you’re most likely to hear blaring from car windows, barbecues and patios wherever you go for the hottest three months of the year.

Recent years’ claimants for the title include such hits as Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” and LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem.”

Clearly, it’s a hit-or-miss recognition as likely to reward garbage as it is actual quality.

In these days of music democratization, maintaining a consensus on any song being the anthem of summer has been trickier and trickier. Anyone who avoids

mainstream radio could make a case for a completely different song in any given year (the aforementioned songs are all courtesy of Billboard, which I suppose is as reliable a source as any for what is played).

I’m normally not one of those people who believe all good music ceased after, say, 1974 or the year the Beatles broke up. But that Clarke Reader feeling of nostalgia has always been present in what I consider LINER the best summer songs.

NOTES In many ways, summer is a bittersweet season: It always seems to fly by far too quickly. Each summer rarely seems as good as previous years. And those of us who have to work watch the days go by through windows. Ultimately, summer’s fleeting nature is what makes it so special — if we were in a place where it always seemed like summer, we’d tire of it, instead of saving up images to get us through those freezing winter days.

Capturing that fleeting feeling is the hallmark of a great summer song.

Take Frank Sinatra’s “The Summer Wind,” with its sighing strings and lines about the melancholia that comes with looking back on summers — and loves — long gone.

Then there are odes to the evenings, for those who think summer nights are the best part of the season.

There is no better encapsulation of those nocturnal adventures than R.E.M.’s piano weeper, “Nightswimming.” The song is all about those brief pauses when you sit back and appreciate the moment and escapes with friends to get away from it all.

The out-and-out king daddy of this particular approach comes from national treasure Bob Seger. The man can knock these kinds of songs out of the park with an almost shocking ease and consistency. One need only point to gems like “Mainstreet” and “Against the Wind” as proof positive.

But “Night Moves” is his opus.

The song has terrific momentum throughout, beginning with Seger’s voice and acoustic guitar, then adding the rhythm section — including a killer bass line that drives the song along — with the final flourish of Motown-esque back-up vocals from Sharon Lee Williams, Rhonda Silver and Laurel Ward. It would probably be a classic if it only continued this way. But halfway through, all the instruments drop off — except for a few finger-picked guitar strings, which you can only really hear if you’ve got the song playing loud.

And, finally, Seger smooths out his growl to croon: “Ain’t it funny how the night moves

ABOUT ME I grew up in a record store — my mother owned Budget CDs in Wheat Ridge for 25 years — and I learned early on far too much music courses through our lives to stick to one genre or artist. Growing up in Colorado, a state with a thriving live music scene — including Red Rocks, the best venue in the country — spoiled me. I saw and heard many of my heroes in person. All of this taught me the dynamic, manipulative, healing and, ultimately, transformative power of song. As Bob Dylan once said, “You’ve got yesterday, today and tomorrow all in the same room, and there’s very little you can’t imagine not happening.”

I’m eager to share my love of music with you. Make sure to let me know, too, what role music plays in your lives.

Strange how the night moves With autumn closing in.”

In four lines, Seger encapsulates the nostalgia of times gone by and beautifully stops his song’s momentum before kicking it back into gear again. It’s a masterclass in writing — lyrical and musical — and is everything I want in a summer song.

What your summer sound is will ultimately be decided by the summer you had — be it adventures in the mountains, evenings on patios or days barefoot in the park: Every mood and activity has a tune.

There’s still time to soundtrack new memories, but you’d better hurry.

As Seger warns, autumn is closing in.

As a former brewer Penny Parker at Alaska Brewing and one of the MILE HIGH first five Certified Cicerones in the world, Kerkmans is a leading LIFE professional educator for beer distributors, retailers and brewers.

Students will learn all elements of beer industry operations and management in a historic facility that has the brewing capacity to be among the top 20 craft breweries in the state. The Tivoli Brewery will be the first full production brewery in the country on a college campus. In 2012, a group of native Coloradans formed the Tivoli Distributing Company, ending the 43-year hiatus and once again brewing Tivoli beer after more than 100 years as one of the largest breweries in the state.

Tivoli Brewing Company has already hired students in roles such as certified beer server, brewer’s assistant and restaurant service.

“San Sebastian Beach,” watercolor by Patricia Barr Clarke, Highlands Ranch, will be in the “Romantic Brushstrokes” exhibit at Town Hall through Nov. 10. Courtesy photos

“Encore Please,” watercolor, 18” x 20” by Rita Campbell, Englewood, is included in “Romantic Brushstrokes” at Littleton Town Hall through Nov. 10.

Five painters join forces for exhibit Town Hall venue hosts show linked to play

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton opens its season with one of the big ones — “West Side Story” — and Stanton Gallery coordinator Nancy Boyson has five painters on tap to share “Romantic Brushstrokes” in various mediums. The exhibit runs Sept. 11 to Nov. 10. An artist’s reception is scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 18.

The five painters are: • Tiffiny Wine started her art career as a Lindy hop and swing dancer, teacher and performer — a detour from her visual arts college study. Six years ago, she resumed study at the Art Students League and

began exhibiting her work two years ago.

Her paintings are in oil. She describes her pieces as “an emerging of sorts — an emerging of me, of ideas, of movement, of skills … a work in progress.”

• Susan Gordon, of Lakewood, says she started her art career after spending most of her adult life “as an entrepreneur creating and growing successful businesses.” She and her husband sold their last business and she began taking classes and workshops in watercolor and acrylic with local and national artists, devouring books on technique and practicing at home. “Being an artist is a journey,” she said. She hopes the joy she finds in the process translates to the viewer. She will exhibit paintings on silk and watercolors of flowers.

• Christopher Clark of Denver paints in oils, “in an impressionistic style,” he

writes. He is interested in “bold brushwork, brilliant color and a luminous sense of light.” He has studied art since he was a boy watching Bob Ross painting shows on TV, and art studies and travels have taken him all over the world. His favorite subject is light itself, he writes.

• Patricia Clarke has recently moved to Highlands Ranch with her husband after living in Park Hill for 37 years. She paints “en plein air” with watercolors, is a member of watercolor societies in Kansas and Colorado and has an MA from the American University in Cairo. She teaches locally and in Curacao and is a longtime member of Denver Art Students League.

• Rita Campbell, of Englewood received from her husband the gift of classes at Judy Patti’s painting studio in Littleton when she retired from the University of Denver. She continues to study there, and in addition to

IF YOU GO “Romantic Brushstrokes” opens on Sept. 11 in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., downtown Littleton. It runs through Nov. 10, with a public reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 18. The title is chosen to coordinate with the Town Hall production of “West Side Story” (Sept. 11 to Oct. 11). Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and during performances. 303-794-2787.

‘No Escape’ taut but deeply troubled Thriller’s lack of context robs movie of legitimacy

By Jake Coyle Associated Press Not since Saigon in the 1970s has an American operation in Southeast Asia been as ill-conceived as “No Escape,” a taut, well-made and entirely dubious thriller.

Where does “No Escape” take place?

It’s about a Texas family that arrives in an unnamed Asian country only to immediately be swept up in a horribly violent coup that sends them scampering for survival through foreign, unfamiliar streets strewn with bodies and blood.

The film, co-written and directed

by John Erick Dowdle (“As Above, So Below”), was shot in Thailand two years ago, after which a real-life coup by the Thai army overthrew the government.

Perhaps to avoid too direct a connection to that coup, “No Escape” (initially titled “The Coup”) makes no specific mention of any government. Who needs politics in a political thriller?

Beside the murderous chants of a mob or the bland courtesies of a hotel clerk, the natives have no dialogue.

Instead, they are merely the vague backdrop to the harrowing plight of a white American family: Jack Dwyer (Owen Wilson), his wife Annie (Lake Bell) and their two daughters (Sterling Jerins and Claire Geare). He, an engineer, has taken a job with a dominant corporation whose ownership of the city’s public works has helped inspire the unrest.

Having just deplaned and plopped their bags down in a hotel hours before street warfare erupts, a haze of confu-

ABOUT THE MOVIE “No Escape,” a Weinstein Co. release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “strong violence throughout and for language.” Running time: 102 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

sion envelopes the Dwyers, just as it does us. Can a thriller about a coup contain next to zero context about the politics and people involved? Is it enough to drop “Taken,” kids in tow, into a faceless Asian nightmare?

Of course it’s not. Granted, “No Escape” may have once existed in a different form and, for one reason or another, cut any local details. But with the absence of literally any engagement with the conflict at hand or its native tragedies, “No Escape” sacrifices its legitimacy.

It’s a shame, too, because the filmmaking is often impressive. The movie, shot by the cinematographer Leo Hinstin, opens with a gracefully orchestrated scene depicting the assassination of the prime minister, a shot begun trailing drink glasses and ended with blood.

The action, too, is breathless, as Jack leads his family (sometimes with the help of Pierce Brosnan’s CIA agent) from one close scrape to another, never pausing for a deeper understanding of the turmoil, always elevated by the easy suspense of children in peril.

Around them fall countless victims.

But their stories aren’t part of “No Escape.” They’re just exotic scenery.

Castle Rock painter Cindy Welch will introduce her newest painting, of the historic Barn, with accompanying prints in conjunction with the Douglas County Arts Fest. The Barn is at 400 Third St. Courtesy photo

The Barn is artist’s subject Introduction set for work showing historic building

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle Rock artist Cindy Welch and Barn owner Catherine Haigh will introduce a new Welch watercolor of The Barn Antiques and Specialty Shops, continuing Welch’s series of historic Castle Rock buildings, at a free public event at The Barn from 6 to 8 p.m. on Sept. 11.

Prints are available of Welch’s paintings, and the entire collection will be for sale at The Barn, 400 Third St. The event is in conjunction with Art Fest activities that will fill downtown Castle Rock on Sept.

12 and 13.

Haigh asked that Welch create a painting of The Barn, a Castle Rock landmark. It was once an old lumberyard and has since been transformed into a home for more than 18 antique and specialty shops.

Lucia McConnell of Colorado Art and Framing Gallery, who represents Welch and is active in historic preservation activities, sent a history of The Barn: “The property was owned by the Denver and Rio Grande Railway from 1883 to 1990. It had a dwelling (Section House),

a bunkhouse and tool house for the railroad. In 1905, the Douglas County Mercantile Company was organized and the 100-foot by 56-foot barn was constructed, with the property being leased from the railroad. Douglas County Mercantile was one of the largest mercantiles in Castle Rock and sold anything the customer required.

“In 1942, the Douglas County Mercantile was purchased by Clyde Henry Richardson, founder of Richardson Lumber Company. The lumber company was moved to 400 Third St., the businesses combined and renamed the Richardson Lumber Company. The building housed the oldest mercantile (1905-1942) and only lumber store for Castle Rock (19421986).

“In 1984, the business was purchased and the name changed to Douglas Lumber Company, which moved to Park St. in 1986. The Country Palace Antiques then became a tenant. Catherine Haigh later opened the business known as The Barn Antiques and Specialty Shops in May 1998. She purchased the building in the summer of 2001. Today, Haigh operates and manages a commercial home to over 18 antique and specialty shops, keeping its rich history alive for all to enjoy. The building continues to be a historic treasure for the community and is one of its oldest intact buildings.”

Site was colorful part of Littleton’s history

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton Capital Partners, developers and managers of Riverside Downs, decided to upgrade the image of the site while remembering its history.

They commissioned a sculpture of a bronze race horse and jockey, which was installed near the Belleview entrance on Aug. 19.

From 1950 to 1983, the Centennial Race Track was an important, colorful — although not entirely successful — element in Littleton’s makeup. It narrowly survived the South Platte River flood in 1965.

When it was torn down for redevelopment with apartments, condos and businesses, the commercial center called Riverside Downs was developed west of the South Platte River, between Belleview and Prince, with a variety of

Calendar

businesses and restaurants.

Under construction now is a public area on the river with shelter, seating and recreation space, managed by South Suburban Parks and Recreation District.

The center is an entrance to the Mary Carter Greenway.

The bronze sculpture is set atop a new aluminum sign listing the center’s occupants.

The sculpture was created by Kentucky sculptor Alexa King, who is nationally known for her public sculptures.

Notable among them is a memorial to the horse Barbaro, a legendary race horse that won the Kentucky Derby in 2006, then shattered his leg two weeks later. Life-sized, it is mounted outside Gate 1 at Churchill Downs and was cast

by Art Casting of Colorado in Loveland, where the new Riverside Downs horse was cast.

Royal Signs of Englewood built the sign and installed the sculpture, which is located on West Belleview Avenue in the vicinity of Starbucks, just past the Belleview entrance to the center.

Children dance while listening to the Colorado Wind Ensemble at Civic Green Park. Photos by Taryn Walker

The Colorado Wind Ensemble performs on the Case Pavillion stage at Civic Green Park on Aug. 28.

Colorado Wind Ensemble takes Case Pavilion stage Concert part of HRCA’s Culture on the Green Series

By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com As a part of Highlands Ranch Community Associations’ Culture on the Green series, the Colorado Wind Ensemble per-

formed at Civic Green Park on Aug. 28.

Music enthusiasts got cozy on the grass to listen to the contemporary sounds of 45-plus woodwind, brass and percussion members perform on the Case Pavilion stage.

The band, under direction of David Kish, played for an hour and a half while the sun set over the park as a close to the sounds of summer.

“This park has never looked so gorgeous,” Mimi Epling of the HRCA said.

Some visitors brought their chairs and blankets to take full advantage of the relaxing space at Civic Green. Others stopped by spontaneously.

“We just happened to be walking by and heard the music. We didn’t know about it, but the weather is perfect and we love music, so here we are,” said Angela

Adam of Littleton, who enjoyed the free concert with her husband and two kids.

The final event of the series will feature Ballet Ariel of Denver on Sept. 25. The concert begins at 6:30 p.m. No dogs or glass containers are allowed at the park.

Eagles fall after Bruins’ second-half surge Heritage loses season-opener to Cherry Creek

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Aug. 28 Heritage-Cherry Creek football game was a tale of two halves, with the Eagles challenging the Bruins early, but Cherry Creek taking over in the second half to win, 31-0 Key moments Heritage took the kickoff, and on the third play of the game completed a halfback pass for an apparent touchdown. But the touchdown was nullified by a penalty.

The Bruins led 7-0 at halftime.

Things changed in the second half, with the Bruins taking the kickoff and completing a well-executed drive for a touchdown.

“We knew going in we were facing a major challenge going up against the defending state champs this early in the season,” Eagles coach Tyler Knoblock said after the game. “We are in the second year of our program.

We know our blueprint for success isn’t a quick road and we are still at it. We had some things early in this game that, had they gone our way, might have changed things but that didn’t happen. We have to learn from tonight, make some corrections and move on with the season.”

The Eagles got praise from the opponents as Cherry Creek coach Dave Logan said after the game he felt Heritage is going to be a good team this year because they do a lot of good things.

Key players/statistics Senior Jack Brouilette was among the leading tacklers for the Eagles, which included being first on the scene or coming in to assist in several quarterback sacks.

“It was pretty good up front, and their offensive line wasn’t as good as we expected them to be,” he said after the game. “They made second-half adjustments that included double teaming me as they found opening to make their plays work.”

Football continues on Page 26

Heritage running back Daejour Haynes (1) avoids a tackler as he runs the ball during the Aug. 28 game against Cherry Creek. The run gained yardage for a first down, but a second-half surge enabled the Bruins to outscore the Eagles 31-0.

Two tie for top honors at league tourney Pearson, Hardman shoot 75 in Continental League golf

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Heritage’s Nick Liebold directs a putt toward the hole on the ninth green Aug. 27 during the Continental League tournament at Perry Park Country Club. Liebold finished with a round of 77. Photo by Jim Benton

Football Continued from Page 23

He said he has always played defense, and he likes to play middle linebacker because he likes to fly around and hit people.

They said it Knoblock said that playing the defending state champions early was a good test for his team.

“We know we will play teams like Cherry Creek in the playoffs,” he said. “We made the playoffs last year but hadn’t been really tested

Kyle Pearson struggled hitting the ball off the tee but once he got on the green, his putter rescued him.

Pearson, a junior at Highlands Ranch, fired a 3-over-par 75 on the tough, tight Perry Park Country Club course in Larkspur Aug. 27 and shared medalist honors with Austin Hardman of Mountain Vista in a Continental League golf tournament.

“My putter saved me,” Pearson said. “I only had one three-putt the whole round, which is pretty good on that course. Most of the other kids I was playing with had five or six three-putts. I felt I putted pretty well.

Hardman was one of the last finishers on a day that turned nasty with lightning delays and rain but managed to share honors with Pearson. And he actually won a card playoff.

Highlands Ranch and Heritage tied for first place with 314 totals in the team standings, with Regis Jesuit third at 361.

They were the first three teams to have all players finish before the bad weather.

Also for Highlands Ranch, Jackson Crist had a 78, Kyle’s twin brother, Ryan, carded a 79 and Charlie Schneider finished with an 82.

Heritage was led by rounds of 77 recorded by Reese Leiker and Nick Liebold.

Leiker had a good back nine to come in close to the leaders.

“I was proud of the way I held it together and kind of figured the game out,” he said. “I have to put in the work and make sure I put in time at practice, making sure I have my focus and eyes set on regionals.”

Mountain Vista and Castle View tied for fourth place in the team standings with 320 totals. Rock Canyon was sixth (324) followed by Legend (341), ThunderRidge (352), Ponderosa (355), Chaparral (360) and Douglas County (370).

Individually, other south metro area players on the leaderboard included Douglas County’s David Roney (76), Reese Taylor of Castle View (76), Chaparral’s Jacob Russell (76), Vista’s Cameron Chapman (77) and Rock Canyon’s JT Snowden (77).

“It’s a strategic golf course,” said Kyle Pearson of the Perry Park course. “You have to know where to miss and leave yourself around the green.”

Highlands Ranch tied for fourth in last season’s Class 5A state tournament, finishing 24 strokes behind state champion Coronado, who many observers felt had a home course advantage since the tournament was held at the Colorado Springs Country Club. The Falcons also lost their top player, Tyler Zang, who transferred to Regis.

“This year we feel like we can get them (Coronado) back and we have more motivation to beat Regis because one of our top players transferred over there so we want to show them we can play well and beat them,” added Kyle Pearson.

There are two more Continental League tournaments following the Aug. 31 get together at Lone Tree Golf Club.

One-round regional tournaments will be held between Sept. 21-25 with the state tournaments set for Oct. 5 and 6.

Heritage linebacker Jack Brouilette (42) hauls down Cherry Creek quarterbak Joe Caplis (15) during the Aug. 28 nonconference game. Brouilette was among the leading tacklers, but despite the defensive efforts, the Bruins got rolling in the second half and won 31-0.

against the strong teams in our classification. We are going to continue to work to get better and it doesn’t change our goal of winning the league championship.”

He said he was proud of his players as they held the Bruins to 7 points in the first half and even when Cherry Creek built a lead, his team never quit playing hard on both sides of the ball.

Going forward The Eagles will work to correct mistakes so they will be ready when they take the field Sept. 4 against Chatfield at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUG. 31, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This could be the time to try soothing whatever bad feelings might be lingering ‘twixt and among colleagues, friends or family members. But be sure you do so without favoring any side.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An idea is only an idea until you put that clever Bovine mind to work to develop it from concept to substance.

This could lead to something rewarding, both emotionally and monetarily.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The early part of the week could have some disconcerting moments, but approaching them with a calm, unruffled attitude goes a long way toward helping to get things nicely settled down.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Getting used to change continues to mark much of the week.

But accepting what you have to do makes adapting that much easier. A welcome visitor could turn up sooner than expected.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Learning how to live with a decision is a challenge, but one you Leos and Leonas could really enjoy. You’ll also be pleased to see your social life take that upsurge you’ve been hoping for.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Use your perceptive Virgo instinct to help you see the positive aspects of what, at first, appears to be a disappointment. You could find that it proves to be quite the contrary.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your ability to maintain a balance between sense and sentiment once again helps you sort through apparently conflicting choices and ultimately arrive at the right decision.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Before you seek the advice of colleagues about a potential career move, you might be better off getting counsel from someone who won’t be affected by the choices you make.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) It can be a challenging week for some relationships if the normal give-and-take flow changes with one side doing most of the giving and the other the taking.

Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A new opportunity could bring with it much anticipation along with some anxiety. Take time to sort out your options as well as your emotional considerations.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Are you sure you have all the facts you need to let that matter move to another level? Don’t be rushed into a decision unless and until you feel it’s the right thing to do.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Pace yourself as you prepare to take on that more demanding project. Be careful not to let your energy reserves drain away. Take time to relax with people close to you.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have the ability to see both sides of a situation. You would do well as a counselor or a judge. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
