Littleton party rocks the block Downtown event draws thousands to Main Street By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Four-year-old Kaylee Berry made an official proclamation as the first of the fireworks flew during the Littleton Block Party June 8: “It’s summer!” The weather played along, as did a cast of characters rounding out the evening’s circus theme — aerial acrobats, fire-eaters, stilt-walkers, contortionists, jugglers, magicians and Sam Adams, the sports journalist-turned-comedian-turned-ringmaster for the evening. A tightrope walker trod lightly above Ancient Arts Healing Center, and aerial acrobats dangled over the intersection of Prince and Main streets. Perhaps most stunning was the size of the crowd, which organizers estimate at 18,000 to 20,000 people. “I’m just tickled pink about the whole Party continues on Page 14

Fire chief responds to concerns Partners express confidence in work done by LFR By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Both of Littleton’s fire partners say they’re confident in Littleton Fire Rescue’s ability to serve the public, despite some internal chaos that led to the Littleton Firefighters Association’s vote of no confidence in Chief John Mullin last month. “We are confident the firefighters, paramedics and staff of Littleton Fire Rescue continue to provide excellent fire and emerPOSTAL ADDRESS
gency services to the people of Highlands Ranch,” Sherry Eppers, spokesperson for the Highlands Ranch Metro District, said in a written statement. “The metro district board of directors is also confident that Littleton City Manager Michael Mullin Penny will take actions as appropriate to ensure the fire department receives excellent leadership. The metro district board and staff will closely monitor the situation as it evolves.” David Oppenheim, president of the Littleton Fire Protection Board, said it’s pre-
mature to comment, but the partnership is a strong and positive one. “Our firefighters are competent, well trained and very capable of providing fire safety and rescue services to the community, and the association’s resolution should in no way lessen the confidence the community has in Littleton Fire Rescue,” he said. That’s the one thing everyone seems to agree on. “Littleton Fire Rescue continues to be a proud fire department offering great service,” said Mullin. “We get no customer Chief continues on Page 14

City council and the public alike were surprised to find out that a $300,000 incentive package is part of the Breckenridge Brewery deal. Council approved the rezone that allows Breckenridge Brewery to happen in March, but there was no mention of incentives at the time. Councilor Bruce Beckman said he would have liked more time to consider the proposal before voting on it June 4, having just received it five days before the meeting. City Manager Michael Penny said he’d work on a better process for the future. “There’s just been a lot of moving pieces to it,” said Penny. “This is not the cleanest way to get it in front of you.” This is the first time the city has utilized incentives since council approved the Penny new economic-development plan last month. It takes the focus off growing small businesses, the long-standing approach in Littleton, and allows for a variety of financial tactics to lure new ones. Penny says the deal is a win for everyone, allowing the developer, BW Holdings LLC, to reduce out-of-pocket expenses while guaranteeing some income for the city up front. The developer is spending $400,000 on public improvements, including $225,000 for a traffic light at Briarwood Avenue and Santa Fe Drive to allow safer access to the site. The shareback plan outlined in the agreement would rebate some of those expenses by splitting the brewery’s sales-tax revenue with the developer, up to $300,000. Councilor Phil Cernanec successfully amended the plan to give the city the first $40,000, then start giving the developer half. It’s expected to take about five years to reach the total. The city also split $175,000 in fees BW Brewery continues on Page 14

Art opens windows as dementia closes doors Her intense blue eyes study the watercolor sitting on the table before her. “The lipstick is not good,” she says. Her voice is as fragile as Sue Rhodes looks. She is a delicate, 87-year-old woman with dark gray, chin-length hair, thin shoulders slightly bowed. Her right hand trembles as she scrutinizes the painting, a profile of a woman with a Lois Lane hairstyle, bright red lips and a soft pink blouse. “This looks like ladies in the ’40s and ’50s,” says Lisa Hut, a volunteer artist sitting next to Sue. “Think of a name for it. Does it remind you of anybody?” “No, but I’ll do what you tell me to do.” “I’m not going to tell you to do anything,” Lisa says gently. Sue glances at her painting again. “It looks all right, like that.” “How about a story? Does it make you think of anything?” “She did so-and-so.” “I wonder what so-and-so is,” Lisa muses. Sue takes her brush and slowly deepens the pink edges of the blouse. Then she holds up the painting. “Oh, my gosh,” Lisa says. “It looks so good.” Sue nods softly. She smiles. Lisa: “She looks happy to me.” “She does to me, too,” Sue says, “except …” And her voice trails away as she begins another painting, her mind, perhaps, chasing a fleeting memory. The light-filled room is replete with remembrances, some unwittingly captured on paintings scattered across the tables, others flitting in and out, coming close, teasing their owners but then darting away. The eight men and women, in their 70s and 80s, work intently, dipping brushes into Styrofoam cups of water, swirling them into the chosen hue of their watercolor paints, then stroking the color onto paper. Intermittent conversation and laughter interrupt the tranquility. They are grandmothers and grandfathers, a hydrologist, a children’s vocational
nurse, a dentist, an FBI secretary. All in varying stages of dementia or Alzheimer’s, they share the painful reality of a fading mind. They’ve come to their weekly painting class, where they sometimes discover lost memories, but always find companionship and joy and moments of peace. “So much of this disease is hard and sad,” says Sara Spaulding, spokesperson for the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado, whose husband died at 63 in 2010 of Younger Onset Alzheimer’s after battling the disease for 10 years. “This program, however, offers light and laughter … not only to the participants but for their families.” The program is Memories in the Making. It provides archival supplies — the same brushes, paints and 140-pound paper used by professional artists — to participants, who with guidance from volunteer artists, create art that often correlates to hidden memories. Research shows short-term memory generally declines first, while the part of the brain associated with distant memories is often the last to go. Art and music are among the few ways a patient — whose confusion has impaired verbal skills — can still communicate. “They have a point of contact,” Spaulding says. “They’re not able to really remember family and friends. But looking at the art … they’re talking to the volunteers, to each other. It keeps the brain active. That socialization is really important. Then there’s the self-esteem. They have a purpose — to come to class to create something.” The volunteer artists don’t do any of

They might help a hand close around a brush or suggest direction. But “we never draw a line,” says Lisa, who volunteers at Emeritus Denver, a care facility in southwest Denver, one of 45 in the metro Denver-Boulder area that offers the program. Kim Franklin runs Memories in the Making at Emeritus Denver. A former hairstylist who worked her way from styling residents’ hair to life enrichment director, she believes God brought her here to help guide residents “through their final journey home.” “I put myself in their shoes,” she says. “Can you imagine at 88 years old, going to a door and it’s locked and you can’t get out? I just want to give them that dignity here …. They kind of go into another world when they’re painting.” John George looks at a photograph of an old Lincoln as he dips his brush into the black circle of paint in his watercolor box.

gravelly voice and a gray mustache that matches his hair. “I’m not much of an artist,” he says. “I just go slow.” He peers through his glasses, comparing the painting to the photograph. “I’m just transferring some data from that nice photograph to something less than nice. I’m trying to figure out what to do with the grill.” He hums, a throaty low rumble, and dabs his brush on a paper towel. “This is not gray enough,” he says of the grill. Then: “It’s fun to fool around. Be sure we’re taking this as seriously as necessary, calling it a fool-around. Paul’s good.

Local activist pushing for ‘approval voting’ in Littleton By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton’s election commission has agreed to consider enacting a new method of voting at the request of Frank Atwood, a Libertarian and Sunshine Boy activist. “Initially, my motives were viability and visibility in all elections for minor parties,” Atwood wrote in his memo to the commission. “I now believe that major parties will benefit even more with fewer spoilers (such as Perot in 1992 and Nader in 2000) and less sabotage (recruiting a candidate to steal votes from the main opponent’s base is 10 times more cost effective than competing in the middle).” He’s long been campaigning for “approval voting,” which would allow people to vote for as many candidates as they want instead of just one. As a result, they wouldn’t have to choose between the one they like and the one they think is electable. Alternately, they could vote for all candidates except the one they like the least, effectively casting their vote against that person instead of for the others. “With approval voting, voters can be more expressive and can vote more sincerely,” said Atwood. Commissioner John Hershey noted that a likely result would be the person who wins
wouldn’t be anybody’s favorite. Atwood said that’s not necessarily a bad thing if you believe it’s better for moderation to win than to have it split the vote for the extremes. “Politics is compromise, and part of compromise is living with moderation,” he said. “Isn’t the idea of democracy to have both ends of the spectrum on council so that you’re getting ideas from different perspectives?” countered Wendy Heffner, city clerk. Atwood noted that, in essence, Littleton already utilizes approval voting by letting people vote for as many at-large candidates as there are open seats. If the commission decides to officially adopt the proposal, it would be the first governmental entity in the country to do so. “Since the 1700s, we have been an experiment,” said Commissioner Mark Crowley. Atwood suggests placing a “nonbinding resolution” on this year’s ballot so citizens can weigh in. If it passes, approval voting could be used beginning in the 2015 election. Kristen Schledorn, assistant city attorney, said a resolution is unnecessary. “This is totally in your authority,” she said. “You don’t need to consider what the majority of the people want. But we could have some options.” The commission — made up of just Heffner, Crowley and Hershey — will need to decide by the end of August if they want to place the question on the ballot.
New King Soopers to open June 26 Belleview/Federal store twice the size of predecessor at site By Tom Munds
on a tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com nd The growl of landscaper equipment outhe ck side and the hum of power tools inside attest to the preparations moving into final stages for the June 26 opening of the new King Soopers store at West Belleview Avenue and South Federal Boulevard. “Everyone is working hard to have everything ready for the grand opening,” Jeri Dayton, assistant manager of the new store, said in a June 10 interview. “Things are coming together and, starting today, we have crews beginning to put groceries on shelves.” A King Soopers has occupied the Belleview/Federal location since the 1960s. There had been upgrades and remodeling, but the store was too small, so the decision was made in 2012 to demolish the building and replace it with a large, modern facility.
King Soopers first had to negotiate leases to be able to demolish the small stores in the shopping center surrounding the supermarket. When that was done, demolition was begun on the $17 million project that will double the size of the grocery store and will include a drive-through pharmacy and a service station. “We will be open 24 hours a day and will have a total staff of about 175, and about a third of those are new positions,” Dayton said. “We held a job fair on May 27 to hire our new people.” She said there will be a Starbucks inside the store, plus there will be a larger selection of non-food items like toys and tabletop appliances. She also said there will be a wide selection of specialty meats and cheeses. “This will be more of a market concept where a customer can buy most of the food and other items needed for the home,” Dayton said. The store will open for business at 6 a.m. June 26 and it will be a 24-hour location. A ribbon-cutting and celebration is scheduled about 9 a.m. on opening day.

Two measles cases lead to notification Infected man visited many sites in south metro area By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two rare cases of measles have been diagnosed in south suburban Denver, and the second infected individual may have exposed other people after visiting several public places in Lone Tree, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Highlands Ranch and Littleton. A Sky Ridge Medical Center doctor diagnosed the first case of measles in a patient there in late May. The second individual, who was exposed to the first man June 4, reportedly began experiencing symptoms June 6. During the infectious phase, the second person visited the following places, poten-
tially exposing unvaccinated individuals: • Lone Tree Medical Plaza, 9695 S. Yosemite St., Lone Tree, between June 3 and 6 • Kent Denver School’s middle school graduation at the Anschutz Theatre, 4000 E. Quincy Ave., Cherry Hills Village, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 3 • Hodsons Bar & Grill, 6851 S. Gaylord St., Centennial, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. June 3 • Christ Lutheran Church, 8997 S. Broadway, Highlands Ranch, from 6 to 9 p.m. June 3 • Highlands Ranch Orthodontics, 1420 W. Canal Court, Littleton, from 3 to 5:30 p.m. June 5 Ninety percent of U.S. citizens are vaccinated against measles, and Sky Ridge chief medical officer Dr. David Markenson said “there isn’t really a risk” for that vast majority of the population. “Unfortunately, vaccination coverage
levels in Colorado are not as high as we would like them to be,” said state epidemiologist Dr. Lisa Miller. “With a second case of measles and fairly wide exposure, we could be seeing additional cases of measles in our community. Now is the time to check your immunizations and make sure you and your family are protected.” The first case was diagnosed in a man who traveled to Denver from India, seeking treatment at Sky Ridge. The man was admitted for several days, and Markenson said Sky Ridge took “symptom-based precautions” during his stay. Sky Ridge informed not only the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, but staff and many patients at the hospital between May 25 and 27, he said. Visitors to the hospital during those dates may also have been exposed. Those who suspect they may have mea-
sles are urged to call a health-care provider before going to a medical office or emergency room. Special arrangements may need to be made before an examination to protect other patients and medical staff from possible infection. Measles is an airborne contagion, spread through the spray droplets in sneezes or coughs or on surfaces. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red, watery eyes and a rash that usually begins on the face and spreads to hands and feet. Although it was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, 66 cases of measles were reported in 2005, more than half linked to a single unvaccinated individual infected during a visit to Romania.

While Democratic leaders applauded Gov. John Hickenlooper for signing Senate Bill 13-252, which increases renewable energy standards for energy co-ops in the state, Republican lawmakers claimed the bill will hurt rural Coloradans. The bill, signed on June 5, will go into effect July 1 and require Colorado energy cooperatives — including Intermountain Rural Energy Association — to double their existing requirements for renewable energy from 10 percent of all energy used to 20 percent prior to 2020. IREA currently obtains its renewable energy through a long-term purchase agreement with Xcel Energy, and according to a statement on its website cannot unilaterally increase the amount it requires from Xcel, which creates an issue. IREA says on the site that it is a supporter of renewable energy, but it was opposed to the bill because it believes “the arbitrary imposition of a renewable requirement without regard to existing infrastructure and contracts will only lead to costly waste.” IREA serves customers in, among other areas, Elbert and Douglas counties. Hickenlooper stated the bill was “imperfect,” but in an executive order accompanying the signing of it, said an advisory committee was being assembled that will work to address concerns such as the timetable for implementing the new requirements as well as protecting consumers impacted by the legislation. He said that if issues are not resolved through stakeholder engagement, there is an agreement that changes will be made to the legislation in the next session. “This legislation will expand economic opportunities across Colorado through the development of wind, solar, and other innovative energy resources,” he stated in the order. “Rural areas, in particular, will benefit economically from the expansion of renew-
whaT The renewable energy bill does • Increases renewable energy standards for cooperative electric associations serving more than 100,000 meters from its current 10 percent by 2020 to 20 percent. • Provides extra credit for new renewable resources acquired through 2015. • Allows both methane capture and pyrolysis of solid waste to count toward the renewable energy standard, as long as the production is greenhouse gas-neutral. • Ensures that no utility bill will increase by more than 2 percent as a result of bill. able resources because the vast majority of renewable resources are located outside of the state’s urban centers.” Some of the jobs Hickenlooper said would be created included construction, manufacturing and mining, as well as new waste-to-energy positions. Republicans had a different view of the bill, however, and state party Chairman Ryan Call was one of many to issue a statement, blasting the signing. “It is clear that Gov. Hickenlooper and Sen. (John) Morse (the Democratic Senate president from Colorado Springs) are more concerned about appeasing radical environmentalists and the fringe of their party than doing what’s right for Colorado,” Call stated. “The law will raise the price of energy on everyone.” Hickenlooper said he would have vetoed the bill if the rate increase, which is capped at 2 percent, was not compounded. The assertion that the law will levy billions in costs to rural consumers is not borne out by the facts, he said. “For society to move forward, its people must look forward,” said Morse. “This bill will help stabilize the cost of electricity in the long run, create jobs and economic activity, and limit greenhouse gas emissions. These are all good things, and I am incredibly pleased to know we have taken another step toward national leadership in the clean energy field.” Attempts to reach representatives of IREA for comment were unsuccessful.

mise that he could accept. “Clearly we had to do something to allow firefighters to meet and confer,” Hickenlooper told
reporters after signing the bill. “It doesn’t make it any easier for them to get collective bargaining ....” The legislation gives professional firefighters the opportunity to put labor rights issues on the ballot and allows them the opportunity to openly participate in the political process — something that is prohibited by some municipalities. Republicans argued during the legislative process that the bill usurps the authority of local governments to make bargaining rights decisions on their own. And the Colorado Municipal League criticized the governor’s decision to sign the legislation. Hickenlooper took issue with those concerns in a written statement that was distributed to reporters following his remarks. “As we witnessed last summer, firefighters from various locales were deployed to risk their lives outside the boundaries of their own immediate communities,” Hickenlooper wrote. “Their safety and the effectiveness of their equipment and training are a matter of mixed statelocal concern.” The bill was sponsored by Sen. Lois Tochtrop of Thornton and Rep. Angela Williams of Denver, both of whom are Democrats.

IT STILL HAS THAT “NEW PARK” SMELL Make a play date with Colorado’s newest gem. In a state full of amazing places to enjoy the great outdoors, it’s rare to find one that truly stands out. Staunton State Park does. The 3800-acre park just outside the Denver metro area, made possible in part by $11.44 million in Colorado Lottery proceeds dollars, features a stunning array of wildlife and scenery. Activities like hiking, rock climbing, fishing and animal watching are sure to become favorites among Coloradans across the state.

for a memory shared.” Before the auction, a tea is held for participants where they see their work displayed. John attended with his wife, Lee. “The Steer Leader” was one of the showcase paintings. “He had a hard time understanding why people were making such a fuss over him,” Lee says. She told him the painting was his. “But I didn’t do that.” “John, that’s your signature.” John’s big hobby throughout his life had been photography. And, Lee says, he always had a good sense of light and space, which seems to have translated into his new pastime. She’s watched how he enjoys painting. “He’ll spend a long time — his attention is fixed right in the painting the whole time he’s doing it,” she says. “He is amazing.” But John, like many others, doesn’t remember what he paints. Bettie Van Zetten bends toward the paper, concentrating, brushing small black strokes along the outline of an angel, sketched from the small, wooden figure on the table. “Do you think you want to do some blue up here?” Kim Franklin encourages, pointing to the background behind the angel. “More blue sky,” Bettie, 80, agrees. “Not too much. I’ll thin it out.” “See,” Kim says, “you do a good job.” Bettie, her once jet black hair now completely white, blots water off her sky. “See the box there?” Kim asks, pointing to the box cradled in the angel’s hands. “What is the box supposed to be?” Bettie wonders. “I was going to say it’s the FBI’s secrets.” “Oooooh,” several people around the table say. “What color box would the FBI have?” Kim asks. “One of the things about working for the FBI, they were never, ever evil to you.” Bettie leans back and clasps her hands. “They would say, `We are special and so are you.’ ” She holds up the painting. “A red box — all the secrets in there.” And she dips her brush into the red paint. Bettie did work for the FBI in Washington, D.C., and in Denver as a switchboard operator and secretary. She has letters from J. Edgar Hoover commending her for good work and her research and help in the Coors kidnapping case in 1960. The mother of two children, she raised them on her own after a divorce when her oldest, her son Barry, was 10. At one time, she did paint. But what her children remember most is how she made flower sculptures from discarded aluminum sheets, how she decorated objects with paper cut-outs, how she loved music and even tapdanced. “She was always creating something or trying to create something,” says daughter-in-law Eileen Van Zetten, Barry’s wife.
Born in Kansas, she traveled with her family to many rural areas during the Great Depression and came to love the outdoors. Her paintings often reflect that inspiration and her deep faith, her family says. “I can see her spirituality in them and her love of the outside,” Eileen says. “For all of us, it’s a way to see that what she’s actually thinking and feeling is beautiful.” For the auction, Bettie’s landscape, a mountain scene draped in blue, gold and green hues that she named “God’s Beauty,” was paired with a photograph from renowned Colorado nature photographer John Fielder. Unbeknownst to event organizers, over the years Bettie had collected just about every Ansel Adams book of nature photographs; son Barry is a huge Fielder fan. So when Eileen and Barry saw her painting next to his photograph, they held hands and cried. “We were both so touched by how this came together, her vision and his vision, and it was almost overwhelming,” Eileen says. “It was one of the most moving things I’ve seen in many years.” For Barry, his mother’s paintings keep them close, Eileen says. “This is like a way of holding onto a piece of something she feels for him.” Bettie, absorbed in the angel, adds color to a wing. “I’d love to be an artist,” she says. “Wouldn’t it be fun to be an artist?” “OK, Bettie, last thing,” Kim says. “Do you want to do something for the dress?” She hands Bettie the angel so she can feel the wood and understand the texture. “How would I make it?” Bettie asks. Lisa: “We have silver paint.” There is silence as Bettie adds water to black paint. “This looks gray, doesn’t it?” Kim: “Probably if you use less water.” “It’s getting more, more silver.” “So,” says Kim, “every artist names their painting.” Bettie quickly responds. “Good thing I’m not an artist.” The class ends and Bettie, Sue, John, Paul and the others close their watercolor boxes, each labeled with their names. They leave quietly, with smiles and goodbyes to each other, and a few hugs for Lisa and Kim. On the table is Bettie’s angel. It wears a silver-gray dress and holds a red box. The sky behind her is Colorado blue. Kim has written Bettie’s name on the back, along with the title Bettie gave it: “Secrets of the FBI.” To contact the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado, call 800-272-3900 or go to alz.org/co.

U.N. chief discusses world situation in visit South Metro Chamber served as co-sponsor of Denver event
about ban ki-moon Ban Ki-moon is the eighth and current secretary general of the United Nations, having succeeded Kofi Annan in 2007. Prior to that, he was a career diplomat in South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the United Nations. He entered diplomatic service the year he graduated from university, accepting his first post in New Delhi, India. He was the foreign minister of South Korea from January 2004 to November 2006. During lunch June 7, he told his tablemates about his youth in South Korea, where war raged from the time he was 6 until he was 8. His family took refuge with relatives who lived on a mountainside, so remote the soldiers had no reason to go there, said Ban. He remembers soldiers from the United States and the United Nations arriving with food, donated clothing and lots of powdered milk. Now the leader of the United Nations, Ban said South Koreans are forever grateful for that support.

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Ever the local advocate, John Brackney, president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, talked up the metro area to none other than Ban Ki-moon, secretary general of the United Nations, during a luncheon at the Oxford Hotel in Denver on June 7. Ban was in town to speak at the University of Denver commencement ceremony, but first he attended The Denver Forum’s luncheon at the invitation of Colorado’s former U.S. Sen. Tim Wirth, who now sits on the U.N. Foundation’s board. Wirth described Ban’s job as perhaps more difficult than being president of the United States. “Dealing with 435 congressmen is hard, but dealing with 193 countries, each of which believes they have the paramount voice in the United Nations, is even harder,” he said. The U.N.’s military, with 110,000 troops in 15 countries, is outnumbered only by that of the United States. The U.N. vaccinates 60 percent of the world’s children and serves 90 million people a day, up to 36,000 of them refugees like those currently fleeing Syria as rebel forces and the government engage in deadly battle. Asked whether the United States should get involved in the Syrian crisis, Ban said it’s a sensitive subject, but he expects all leading nations to convene a peace conference on the matter next month in Geneva. In the meantime, the U.N.’s humanitarian arm
Ban Ki-moon, secretary general of the United Nations, addresses the sold-out Grand Ballroom at the Oxford Hotel on June 7. Photo by Jennifer Smith has asked the agency for more than $5 billion to help the millions of people affected by the conflict. “We can’t let the Syrian people continue to die this way,” Ban told the audience of about 200 people. “The entire nation has been destroyed now.” He blames the inflexible attitude of the country’s leader, Bashar al-Assad, who refuses even to allow humanitarian workers within Syria’s borders. Ban called on the global community to show compassion to developing countries like Syria, now set back even further by the recent destruction. By working together, he said, “We can move challenges from the world’s inbox to the world’s outbox.”
A key to that, he said, is expanding the use of renewable energy to all corners of the earth. He called it the “golden thread” that addresses all problems, as it makes possible technology, transportation, health, education — virtually all aspects of life. “We cannot keep burning and mining our way to prosperity,” he said. He declared sustainable development the U.N.’s top priority for his second term, which runs through 2016. “There can be no plan B, because there is no planet B,” he said. “There is only planet A.” Ban believes focusing on sustainability will reduce global conflict, much of which
results from real or perceived inequities in resources. “As we strive for sustainable development, we need to strive for sustainable peace,” he said. “When people are hungry and poor and sick, there can be no human rights. There can be no peace.” That’s true in particular, he notes, for women and children. “During times of conflict, there are always women and girls whose human rights are totally abused,” said Ban. To that end, he launched the U.N. Network of Men Leaders to eradicate such violence. “Unless men change their mentality, this violence can’t be addressed, can’t be rectified,” he said. “I have been talking to kings and prime ministers and presidents, telling them that this is not acceptable.”
Gun law affects domestic abusers Illegal immigrants get Restrictions got no GOP ‘I’ve wanted this to happen route to driver’s licenses support in Legislature By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Domestic violence offenders will find it more difficult to own or transfer guns under a bill that was signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 5. Senate Bill 197 places greater gun restrictions on persons who either are convicted in cases involving domestic violence, or those who have been served with a courtissued protection order. Prior to the bill being signed, Colorado law had already prohibited domestic violence offenders from having guns. The new law puts in place a system by which state courts ensure that offenders relinquish their weapons. Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, a bill sponsor, said an incident from about 20 years ago motivated her to carry the bill. A former teacher, Hudak said that a student of hers was shot to death by an ex-boyfriend, who had a restraining order against him. “I’ve wanted this to happen for a very long time,” Hudak said. “I think a lot of women and children will be safer because of this.” Under the new law, persons who have received court-imposed protection orders must relinquish any firearms and ammunition in their possession for the duration of the court order. The same rules will apply to persons convicted of domestic violence cases. They can then either sell or transfer their weapons to a licensed gun dealer or to someone who has successfully completed

Before transferring a gun back to the offender, a firearms dealer or local law enforcement agency will be required to request a background check from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, to ensure that the person can lawfully possess the weapon. The bill was part of a package of Democrat-sponsored gun-control bills that passed the Legislature and have been signed into law by Hickenlooper this year. Republican lawmakers unanimously opposed the bill. Hudak’s sponsorship of the legislation, along with her votes on other gun bills, led to a recall petition effort being waged against her. That effort recently was suspended by recall organizers.

Three Democrats broke with party to oppose plan By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Undocumented immigrants living in Colorado will soon be able to obtain driver’s licenses under a bill that was recently signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper. Senate Bill 251 allows immigrants to apply for “separate category” types of stateissued IDs that can only be used for driving purposes. The licenses will indicate that the user is a non-citizen, and they will not be able to use the IDs to obtain benefits, board planes or register to vote. Hickenlooper and other supporters of the legislation, which was sponsored by Democrats Sen. Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City and Rep. Jovan Melton of Aurora, argue that people who are here illegally are driving anyway, and that it’s in everyone’s best interest that they can do so lawfully. During the legislative process, bill supporters cited data from other states that have similar laws, such as Utah and New
Mexico. Statistics from those states indicate that the numbers of insured motorists rose substantially after the laws were enacted. “You’re gonna have to have a driver’s license that allows people to drive to get to work … to make sure they have insurance, make sure they can testify in an automobile accident (court hearing), but at same time identifies that they aren’t full citizens,” Hickenlooper told reporters on June 5, the day he signed the legislation. The law, which takes effect in August, requires those applying for these types of licenses to show certain forms of legal documentation, such as an ID from their native countries, and proof that they have filed state and federal income taxes. That’s in addition to standard driving tests. The bill did not garner a single Republican vote in the General Assembly. And three Democrats voted against the bill in the House of Representatives. Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, said during an April 10 Senate committee hearing that he didn’t think the bill would make roads safer, and worried that more people would come to Colorado illegally for the driving privilege.

Crowd at Bitner event exceeds expectations Runners benefit fund that helps families of fallen officers By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Hundreds of feet followed the marked trails June 8 at the Jeremy Bitner Memorial Event, held to raise money for the state fallen officer fund. “I am amazed that so many people showed up today. We had 387 people take part in the event, which is more than three times the number we expected to participate,” said Englewood Police Officer Chad Read, one of the organizers. “A group of police officers, firefighters and members of the Burg Simpson Law Firm worked together to organizing the event. The goal today was to remember Jeremy with a fun day for all those who attend and to raise money to be used to help families of fallen Colorado law enforcement officials.” He said the event was a success thanks in large part to the work of more than 80 volunteers. Because of the success of the event, organizers are already starting to plan next year’s gathering. Read said the 2014 event will be held in June, but a specific date hasn’t been nailed down. The June 8 activities were held in memory of Jeremy Bitner, an Englewood police officer posthumously promoted to detective. Bitner died May 28, 2012, of injuries suffered when he was hit by a car while making a traffic stop. Bitner had been with the Englewood Police Department for eight years. He was a patrol officer, a member of the SWAT team and served as a training officer for new members of the department. He is survived
Bunker, the Englewood Fire Department clown, was on hand to greet each finisher during the June 8 children’s fun race. The race was part of the Jeremy Bitner Memorial Event. Photos by Tom Munds by his wife and two children. The Jeremy Bitner Memorial Event included a five- and 10-kilometer run, a fivekilometer walk and a children’s fun walk. The start and finish line for the events were in the southeast end of Cornerstone Park. The courses wound through the park along the Big Dry Creek Trail and Mary Carter Greenway. It will be a certified course for
those who need to record times on a measured course. There were a number of police and fire vehicles on display, and the Air Life helicopter landed near the stage where participants assembled for the awards ceremonies. Dan Johnson of Denver ran and walked the course with his 8-year-old daughter Melanie and his 6-year-old daughter Mia. He said he thought the event was well organized and it was a great way to remember a fallen officer and raise money to help families of officers killed in the line of duty in the future. Melanie said she ran or walked the whole course and it was longer than she thought it would be. She said she felt she did well and liked her time.
Her younger sister walked or got a ride from her father on the course. “I did walk some and daddy carried me some,” the 6-year-old said. “I liked being here today and I liked doing this thing with my dad.” Nearby, Englewood Detective Vance Fender and his 9-year-old daughter Elizabeth were catching their breath. Elizabeth was one of the youngest runners across the finish line in the 10-kilometer run. She said she likes to run and is good at it. “I started running some when I was 4 or 5 and I guess I started because my mom is a runner,” the girl said. “I liked being here today because the event raised money for a good cause. It was a good course and I think my time was about 52 minutes for the 10K.”

Colorado Guard to furlough 700 General says federal budget woes hurt readiness, morale By Deborah Grigsby
dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Approximately half of the Colorado National Guard’s total full-time workforce received furlough notices May 30, triggered by ongoing federal budget woes and sequestration. And that’s a problem, said Maj. Gen. H. Michael Edwards, who commands the 5,400 members of the Colorado Air and Army National Guard. According to a press statement, more than 700 full-time Guard employees, mostly in Arapahoe County, will have to take off one unpaid day per week for 11 weeks — for a total of 88 hours — during the furlough period, which begins July 9 and ends when the federal fiscal year winds up on Sept 30. That works out to a 20 percent pay cut. “The Defense Department’s furlough will have an impact on the Colorado National Guard’s long-term readiness,” said Edwards, citing concerns for employee retention and possibly having to shift resources to maintain proper response capabilities. Some states are looking to Washington in an attempt to prevent furloughs.
In Florida, Gov. Rick Scott blasted President Obama during a June 6 press conference to discuss preparations for Tropical Storm Andrea. Scott said federal furloughs for roughly half of Florida’s full-time Guard employees could compromise the state’s readiness to deal with hurricanes. “If the furlough indeed happens, but even if it doesn’t, a question of trust has been raised for those who work in government service as to what expectations they have now for employment in service to our nation,” Edwards said while en route to Amman, Jordan. “Morale has already been affected.” The Colorado National Guard is structured to rely heavily on its 1,438 full-time technicians to ensure the remaining 4,087 part-time soldiers and airmen are trained. Edwards also noted the Colorado Guard may have to shift some of its resources to hold on to near-term readiness. That, he said, would most likely come at the cost of long-term readiness. Essentially, that means expending military training days meant for part-time personnel to offset full-time furlough days in order to sustain current readiness levels. The Colorado National Guard is the first military responder for domestic emergencies such as the High Park and Waldo Canyon wildfires in 2012.

Happy Father’s Day from an imperfect dad This past year has been very enlightening for me as I look back over the past 12 months and remember how I reacted or responded to the trivial as well as the major challenges and opportunities presented to me by my children. Some may argue that the larger issues or problems are still really just small or trivial in most cases and just blown out of proportion by an over-reactive father or parent. And I would have to plead guilty as charged. And as I recall conversations with other parents over the past year I have been reminded that it’s not just my children who get into trouble or make mistakes, it seems as though we have raised an entire generation of trouble-seeking and mistake-prone children as my friends and neighbors all share similar stories. That old saying, “misery loves company,” could apply here, but I really have found no comfort in thinking about it that way.
I love my children dearly, and I would have to agree that in most cases I could have responded better instead of over-reacting and making things worse or underreacting and not doing enough. The life lesson in this for me is to learn how to take the time to respond instead of react. I know they sound very similar and some would say that they mean the very same thing. The difference, I believe, is found in the way we think about each word.
question of the week
How do you travel with kids or pets? Colorado Community Media asked four people in the Arapahoe Lake neighbor-
hood for their best tip on traveling by car or plane with kids or pets.
“Entertainment. Entertainment. Entertainment. And keep it charged.” — Elizabeth Price, Englewood
“I try to make sure we’re all prepared before we even leave the house. Everyone is fed, has all their stuff … and then I pack blankets, pillows, snacks and water.” — Jodi Page, Englewood
“Be aware of the temperature inside the car. … If you have to stop, make it brief, park in the shade, crack the window and always have fresh water for the animal.” — Jody Schmidt, Lone Tree
“I don’t really travel with my pets, but I do think it’s important to always leave them in good, dependable hands and with someone you trust.” — Mark Wienckowski, Wautoma, Wis.
That’s not what I’m talking about I have no idea when “I have no idea” replaced “I’m not sure.” Most of the time when we say we have no idea we do have an idea, but “I’m not sure” is simply not as melodramatic. All I know is that I am tired of hearing “I have no idea.” I am at the end of my rope. I am at my wits’ end. It has become another “overly conventionalized linguistic expression,” and nearly a cliché by now. Most things that are said, you know, over and over become annoying, at least to a few of us who listen when someone is talking. What would you think of anyone other than Rodney Dangerfield who started every thought with “I have no idea”? Rodney could get away with it, because he would tug at his necktie, jerk his head, and say, “I was so ugly when I was born that the doctor slapped my mother.” Elocution has gone the way of handwriting. Most of us no talk so good no more. We get by, because it’s no longer expected to be any better. Ah, but when it occurs it can be wonderful. There are some things that are said over and over that I never get tired of hearing. For one, “I love you.” Unless it’s from Mr. Holly Martins in area rugs. We resort to clichés because they are familiar, handy, and readily understood. Few of us have a gift for making ourselves understood without them. That’s what I’m talking about. That’s one of them right there. It was somewhat clever 10 years ago. Now it’s a nuisance. The French gave us the word “cliché.” It comes from typesetting, and the reuse of single slug of metal for phrases that were used repeatedly. “A cliché is often a vivid depiction of an abstraction that relies upon analogy or exaggeration for effect, often drawn from everyday experience,” a Wikipedia entry says. “Used sparingly, they may succeed, however, the use of a cliché in writing or
If we were to get sick and our doctor prescribed a medication that caused us to break out in a rash or some other side effect, it could be said that we are having a “negative reaction” to the medication. Conversely, if we were prescribed that same medication and started improving immediately, we would say we were “responding favorably” to the medication. And as a dad, I can look back over the past 12 months as well as an entire lifetime and remember all the little mistakes and huge errors I have made. And thankfully my children have not over-reacted, they have simply responded and loved me and forgiven me in the same way that I have loved and forgiven them. That is the wonderful thing about forgiveness, it goes both ways, and it goes such a long way in building and sustaining loving relationships with our family and friends. And forgiveness costs us nothing when we give it, but costs us everything when we

Littleton provides vibrant model For my entire life, I have called the Greater Littleton Community home. Before the strip malls and the incorporation of other parts of Arapahoe County, before even the idea of Highlands Ranch, thousands of us were going to church, shopping and living in Littleton. Some of my fondest memories include fishing with my father at Sterne and Ketring Parks, walking in the homecoming parade, and graduating from Littleton High School where my daughters now attend school. When first elected as an Arapahoe County commissioner, I drove by the original, historic county courthouse (where I received a curfew ticket as a teenager) on my way to be sworn in at the County Administration Building in Littleton, the county seat. I learned that the county owned the then-vacant building, so I asked about the history of the building and took a tour. It quickly became apparent that one of the most important things the county could do was to save that building. We had to restore part of our past in order to build a stronger future. The City of Littleton
now has a beautifully restored courthouse thanks to our efforts. I’ve now been directly and professionally involved for over 16 years in the economic health of our county seat, the City of Littleton. I love its people, history and tradition, and I have become heavily involved in areas where citizens and government need to work together to ensure the city’s continued success, including the city’s changing demographics, its cultural norms, the strength of its commercial base, its transportation routes, and its neighborBrackney continues on Page 11
Letter to the editor Brewery incentives are harebrained
speech is generally considered a mark of inexperience or a lack of originality.” It’s not rocket surgery. It’s been a hard day’s night. Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder. See? Clichés and other phrases can be turned around, inverted, and even made into a malaprop (another column). Shakespeare referred to the “comprehension of two auspicious characters.” There is a song, “Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” and few of us want to be misunderstood, so it’s much easier to speak the tried and true (like “tried and true”) than to go out on a limb (there’s another) and offer something obtuse. But it can be fun when you connect, and the more you try to connect the dots (another) the better your chances are. You can’t win if you don’t play, although Fran Lebowitz said she has the same chances of winning the lottery whether she plays or not. I once quoted Wayne Gretzky at an AA meeting, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take,” and later thought that was a mistake. Words and phrases sometimes cross over from our occasional use to habitual use, and some of us don’t even know it, or seem to mind, that they can be mindnumbing. If I hear the word “transparency” one more time, applied to the IRS, for example, I will have an ax to grind. But it occurred to me that it might be

If you are one of those dads or parents that I have spoken with or exchanged emails with or that just feels like you have had a brutally tough year with a noncompliant child, trouble-attracting teen, or mistake-magnet kid, just remember that as big as each of those challenges seem, at the end of the day they are all just trivial. And it’s not about how we react, it is how we choose to respond, love and forgive that will be the difference-maker in all of our relationships. Happy Father’s Day! I would love to hear all about how your Father’s Day weekend goes at gotonorton@gmail.com, and let’s respond our way to a better than good week.
I am sitting at the Littleton City Council meeting and cannot get past the fact that Breckenridge Brewery has already received most approvals and has every indication they will build the brewery and the city manager insists we need to GIVE them thousands of dollars of incentives. This is one of the dumbest tactics ever proposed. There are no indications they want to back out. This is called leaving money on

the table. This is an example of selling when the buyer has already agreed to buy. Michael Penny ... So what if the Brewery brings in x amount of revenue? The city is going to get that same money without the incentives. The continuing saga of doing what the city manager wants to do without any real benefit continues. Susan Burgstiner Littleton

The economy over the last four years has proven difficult for many in our community, both in business and in our neighborhoods, but we now have the potential to grow responsibly and significantly. For example, as part of the city’s economic planning efforts, Littleton recently approved an economic development incentive for Breckenridge Brewery. The South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce is taking this a step further and working with the county to evaluate the possibility of waiving the county’s portion of the oppressive business personal property tax that they have jurisdiction over.

when the decision was made to unite Emmanuel’s congregation with the Englewood United Methodist congregation to establish the Spirit Hope United Methodist Church. They will occupy the former Englewood United Methodist location at 3885 South Broadway. Emmanuel’s move made it possible for the New City Church to lease the building. “We have been meeting at Swallow Hill for several years, we are growing and needed more room, and we wanted to have a permanent home,” Pastor Aaron Carlson said. “This building became available and

I feel this was a collaborative effort that resulted in sculptures that are perfect for the garden.” He said he did the work, made a business trip and came back to town June 5 for the soiree. “When I installed the sculptures, nothing was growing or blooming so I was amazed at what I saw when I came to the garden this week,” Gain said. “The rose bushes along the fence behind the sculptures were in bloom and you couldn’t ask for a better background for the art. I feel the sculptures complement the garden and the garden complements the sculptures.”

thing,” said Greg Reinke, president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants, which hosts the event. “To get that many people on Main Street is awesome.” There were noticeably more young people this year, of both the young-and-single and young-family varieties. Perhaps they were drawn to the local bands playing five separate stages, including Flash Mob, Dave Frisk Band, Ken K and Larry O’Connor, but Reinke says he’s noticing an overall trend. “Littleton is starting to have a turnover as far as age groups,” he said. “They’re coming here to some of the cool new venues, and they realize it’s a great little place to be.” Reinke said he hadn’t counted the money yet, but he thought the event did well. “It’s not about the profit,” he said. “My job is to get people down here. Even if we lose money, as long as we don’t lose all of it, it’s a good investment.”

Holdings is projected to pay, and that amount — $87,500 — is included in the $300,000. Doug Clark, former mayor, says incentives are a bad idea. He presented data from the city’s finance department that showed revenue was increasing without incentives, and questioned how staff would decide which companies deserved incentives and which didn’t. “Just because some staff member has gone out to lunch with them? Because somebody likes to drink beer? Because the business owners are the right race?” he asked, adding that incentives create the opportunity for corruption. Councilor Peggy Cole agreed and was the sole vote against the plan. “I really want the brewery to come, but for me, this is not the way to make it hap-

complaints. I continue to receive cards and notes from our satisfied customers saying thanks for a great job.” Joel Heinemann, president of LFA, agrees the firefighters are doing a great job, but he worries that could be at risk if something doesn’t change. “The issues we have with morale are a result of the dysfunctional structure that we operate within,” he said. It’s the association’s position that the only real fix would be to bring the three partners together under one umbrella, whether as their own entity or as a merger with another agency. South Metro Fire District is currently studying the feasibility of bringing them into its fold. “Littleton is not as stable a fire department as other traditional fire departments,” said Heinemann, because most of its service area is outside of the city proper. HRMD and LFPD are both substantially larger in area and population, he notes, so the smallest entity is governing the larger ones. Mullin said he wants to see the results of the South Metro study before recommending a way forward. “I love Littleton Fire Rescue,” he said. “But I believe that there are some aspects that we could cooperate more on.” Mullin said he’s working on improving his relationship with staff, keeping them informed of decisions and the rationale behind them, holding more face-to-face meetings and sending minutes to the whole department. He’s also sending all 39 supervisors to Blue Card training, designed to clarify the chain of command and improve radio traffic, among other things. “This training and certification program produces incident commanders that make better decisions that will potentially eliminate the lethal and/or costly mistakes that cause injury, death and unnecessary fire losses in the local response area,” according to the program’s website. Mullin explained it’s a regional effort with West Metro and South Metro fire dis-

Photo by Jennifer Smith pen,” she said. “I hope I get to my car safely tonight, but I do not support these incentives.” Beckman said the financial deal is separate from the site plan, which is what they were voting on. “It does raise questions about who was picked and who was not,” he said. “That’s the problem, but that’s not Breckenridge Brewery’s problem.” Councilor Jerry Valdes noted the irony of incentivizing Breckenridge Brewery on the site where citizens rallied to fend off a Walmart seven years ago. Leading that movement launched Mayor Debbie Brinkman’s political career. “A few years back, we weren’t being so kind with another applicant on that same property,” said Valdes. Brinkman credits a more “vigorous outlook” for drawing the brewery to Littleton, and noted the city needs the sales tax. “This $300,000 investment is not money out of our pockets,” she said. “Quite honestly, this is money that hasn’t even come to our pockets.” tricts, so everyone will be talking the same talk during emergencies. However, the 50 hours of training will require taking one engine out of service for the duration. Mullin said past training meant down time for two engines and one ambulance, so this is an improvement. Heinemann thinks Blue Card will be a good thing, but he is concerned that until the whole department is trained, not just the supervisors, it could create confusion. “In general concept, it’s the right thing to do,” he said. “Anything to improve communication is a step in the right direction.” Another particular concern is whether there are enough medics on staff. There are 132 firefighters in the department, 53 of whom are medics. Mullin explained that there is one medic on every vehicle, and two vehicles at every scene. “We’re looking to get more resources, as 70 percent of our calls are medical,” he said. In February, Mullin interviewed 70 applicants, including 50 medics. Of the seven he hired, just one is a medic. They are in the academy now and should start in July. Mullin said that during the next go-round, in June, he will only interview medics, and will widen the pool to applicants who score at least 70 percent on the standard test instead of 85 percent as was required in the past. Asked whether that was a lowering of standards, Mullin replied: “Not a chance. We take great pride in hiring great people, and that will not change.” Mullin has indicated in the past that he might retire soon, but he didn’t directly answer the question this time. “We have enacted things I believe will bring improvements in communication among command and employees, and I’m looking forward to seeing that success,” he said. Heinemann said the association has its doubts. “We’ve done what we need to do in order to bring this to the attention of his bosses, so the ball is in their court,” he said. “That’s all we can do. We don’t have the ability to hire or fire the chief. We’ll continue to do our jobs with the same dedication and pride as in the past, but we’re just looking for some help to make sure our needs are met.”

What is the most challenging part of what you do? I love working with both buyers and sellers and can usually be reached at any time. It’s difficult for me to take time off because I want to always be available.
Where were you born? I am a Colorado native, born at Fitzsimons Hospital and have lived in the metro Denver area most of my life. How long have you lived in the area? I live in Douglas County, more specifically in Lone Tree for 14 years. What do you like most about it? Lone Tree has a small town feel with all the amenities that you would expect to find in a much larger city. There is a new Arts Center, world-class shopping at Park Meadows, several restaurants, new tennis courts, pools and miles of trails for hiking and biking. In a recent survey of residents, 98% of respondents rated the overall quality of life in Lone Tree as “excellent” or “good.” I have found it to be an exceptional place to raise a family. What is your specialty and what does that mean for people you work with? Relationships – I am a relational

dren, our son is getting married in the fall, and we were recently blessed with our first grandchild and our second due in November. I am also involved in the Lone Tree Arts Commission, Public Arts Committee, Cultural Arts Foundation and work on many fundraising events. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? Make sure your home is ready when you put it on the market. The good homes are selling quickly so you want to de-clutter, price correctly and work with a realtor that has everything available to them to best market your home to get the highest price possible. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? If you are thinking about buying a home, now is the time. Interest rates are low and there are great homes available. The home you buy today will cost you more later. You also need to talk with your lender before you begin your search so that when you find that perfect home you ready to act. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? I was previewing a home and was told there was no alarm. Upon entering the home, the alarm sounded. Therefore, I went to the front porch to wait for the police. When they arrived and were comfortable with me being there, the officer mentioned that he is thinking about buying a home in that neighborhood. I showed him the home, we made an offer and he purchased the home.

Garage organization 101:
Stage all parts of your home when selling W
hen putting your house on the market, a properly staged garage can make all the difference! Garages are highly coveted across the country, offering a space to park a car and protect it from the elements, however, they tend to become the official catch-all of a home. When an item cannot be crammed into a hiding space elsewhere, it often ends up dumped into the garage. Organizing a garage will take some time. An entire weekend or two consecutive days may be necessary depending on the level of disarray. Taking everything out of the garage and going through the sorting process may take the most time. When sorting, separate any broken items, which can immediately be put at the curb for trash or recycle pick-up. Examine things that you have not used in some time. If you haven’t missed it, there’s a good chance that you can discard the item or donate it. Create separate piles for donations and trash. Move the items that will be kept into a separate pile. After all of the trash and donations are removed from the premises, then you can look at what is remaining and begin planning out a more organized storage system. There may be things in
the “keep” pile that are simply out of place in the garage and may be better stored elsewhere. Think about which items can be moved to a basement or attic because of their infrequency of use, such as holiday decorations, suitcases, and collectibles. You may prefer to move lawn and garden items out of the garage and into a shed in the

backyard. After completing the sorting process, look at the garage as a blank space and measure out the room that you have. This will provide an empty canvas as a starting off point. To maximize the amount
of space you have as a work area or a place to park your car, invest in as many tools as possible to utilize vertical space. Shelving, hooks and cabinetry will take things off of the floor, while storage units with doors can hide items that lack aesthetic ap-

peal. Rolling tool caddies and cabinets can keep all tools neat and in organized drawers. A cabinet that has a lock and key can be utilized for dangerous chemicals that need to be kept out of the hands of children and away from pets. Think about how the garage will appear from the curb when the door is raised
and create a design that will be functional and neat. Potential buyers will notice this organization, better allowing them to see their belongings in this space. Take the opportunity while the garage is empty to give walls and floors a fresh coat of paint and improve the lighting in the garage. A brighter garage makes for a better work station.
For those who can use a little extra help, there are professional garage organization companies that can come in and install custom cabinetry and work surfaces. This can raise the value of your home, too. Organizing a garage can be tedious, but the reward is ultimately worth the effort. ■ Metro Creative Services

Three generations meet nature’s miracle ‘Baby’ explores reactions to world of pregnancy By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com What a joy it is to see this little gem of a musical — “Baby” — with its lovely score and clever lyrics, played by a top-notch cast. Cherry Creek Theatre has scored again! “Baby,” with book by Sybil Pearson, based on a story developed with Susan Yankowitz, music by David Shire and lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr., is a pleasing contrast to the prevailing mega-musicals that are on the road. But is does mean each actor must shine — and they do. Three couples each expect a baby and have different reactions and subsequent stories. An ensemble fills in assorted other roles with skill. Director Pat Payne has pulled the production into a fine-tuned package in the attractive but limited space at Shaver Ramsey Rug Showroom, with a pair of pianos tucked to the side and production logistics enhanced by veteran designer/director Richard Pegg. Choreography by Piper Arpan is low-key and fits the space. Alan and Arlene (Brian Walker Smith and

Nick and Pam (Scott Severtson and Shannon Steele) are 30-something active sports people who are having trouble conceiving, and college juniors Danny and Lizzie (Drew Hirschenboeck and Emily Ann Luhrs) have just moved in together are not ready for a child — but adjust their lives and
ambitions in quite mature ways. Each of these characters is presented with depth and skill, which makes an evening of satisfying theater. Many in the audience will relate to some part of these stories. Each story is appealing, touching and, in particular, about love, without being cloyingly sweet. The ensemble fills in assorted characters, notably Ben Dicke’s doctor who tries to advise Nick and Pam in a particularly inept manner.

Fawlty Towers Hotel has room for laughs British TV farce onstage in Denver

Time: 1977; place: Fawlty Towers, a Victorian hotel in Torquay, England, operated by one Basil Fawlty and his wife, Sybil. Four segments of the popular British TV series, written by John Cleese (Monty Python) and Connie Booth, are packaged for an onstage visit with cranky Basil Fawlty and his various guests and staff. Acts are called “Hotel Inspectors,” “The Anniversary,” “Communication Problems” (my favorite) and “Waldorf Salad.” All take place on Colin Roybal’s two-story Victorian set — quite a feat in the small Bug Theatre where Equinox Theatre Company performs. Director Shannon McCarthy manages to move a large cast in, out, up and down with considerable skill, although wer some scenes are so busy, they are hard to d follow. e But silliness reigns throughout, so one ijust rolls with it. me Matt Maxwell’s quarrelsome Basil Fawlty manages to be uniformly rude to all his guests and gets similar treatment from

Her only repeats were “The Crucible” and “Dracula” because the kids wanted elers them. The choice of shows each year depended on the particular talents available among on ir- her students, but they also were a vehicle for ed education. “Amadeus,” for example, taught 100 kids about Mozart, she commented. And the two August Wilson plays, “Gem of the Ocean” and “Seven Guitars,” taught the ry students, both white and black, about this nd great African-American playwright.

eral day-to-day operations give assorted dingbat guests a chance to shine. Comic timing skills are not quite there at all times, but presumably those skills will improve as the show continues its run. It’s hard to maintain the level as written by comic genius Cleese — and keep a consistent British accent going too. Hotel waiter Manuel (Mark Shonsey) is especially funny and Sybil Fawlty has a fine snort with her laugh. Company director Deb Flomberg designed a nice collection of costumes and makes a couple of brief appearances in the cast. This offers a lighthearted evening in a nifty part of Denver — the Highland neighborhood. Circa 1921 Patsy’s is right across the street with old-fashioned Italian food, and several longstanding Denver art galleries (Pirate, Zip, Edge) are on the block — open on Friday nights.
She is proud of students who went into theater careers: a lighting designer on Broadway and others in tech programs. A number of former students are working in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City, and one is with Showtime sports entertainment. Another teaches high school theater on the East Coast, and Dignan counts an associate producer on Broadway among her former students. Six graduates were accepted to the University of Northern Colorado’s prestigious acting program, with one full-ride scholarship. (The program only accepts 30 new graduate students a year from as many as 2,000 applicants.) Two more from the 2013 class have been accepted. Jan Wilusz, a good friend who started creating costumes when her own child was in Dignan’s productions, held a surprise retirement party where alumni came from near and far — some even flew in. As Dignan retires, her love of theater is undiminished and she dreams of starting a local theater company. She doesn’t plan on large-scale musicals. “I want to do small shows with good scripts, a good story,” she says, and is certain there will be interested participants among the many former stu-

She has a collection of costumes and props she personally paid for in the 13 years she produced theater at Highlands Ranch High School, and she speaks especially fondly of props. If she were to go another direction in the theater world, it would perhaps be props. Dignan was discouraged as a young person from studying theater, although her mother was a German actress. She graduated from Georgia Southern in special education and used creative energy in crafts when a young mother with babies. She first taught special education and ninth-grade English at Highlands Ranch, while taking theater classes at Denver Center Theatre Company and at University of Northern Colorado in the summers. After predecessor Wally Larson retired, she began in the theater department, building a department where the students came to hang out as well as act and learn technical theater. “There is nothing I could have loved more,” she declares. She has 500 Facebook friends and she hopes they and other interested people will contact her about starting that new theater company in Highlands Ranch. (Barbdignan@gmail.com, 303-8038182.)

House Approves Coffman’s Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act On May 21st, the U.S. House Representatives passed H.R. 1412, the Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2013, with overwhelming bipartisan support. The legislation was introduced by U.S. Representative Mike Coffman (R-Colo) in response to his concerns for the growing number of unemployed Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. “As a Marine Corps Combat veteran, I understand the unique experiences and challenges of armed services members returning home from abroad. It is imperative that we maximize the opportunities for the thousands of young men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Rep. Mike Coffman The Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act will increase the availability of on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs to help veterans make the transition to the civilian workforce. This legislation builds on an existing, yet little known and under-utilized, on-the-job training programs that help veterans learn a trade or skill by participation in an approved apprenticeship or on-the-job training program. “The on-the-job training benefit within the New GI Bill, which we strongly supported, is one of the most underutilized benefits available to veterans for job skills
training. IAVA stands ready to support and promote innovative ideas like this to end the veterans’ unemployment crisis once and for all,” said Tom Tarantino of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). Congressman Coffman explained that, “We have nearly 400,000 veterans in Colorado and unemployment for them, especially young returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan between ages 20 and 24, was 19% in April. These young individuals have great leadership capabilities and unique skills sets they learned while in uniform but need help in connecting to opportunities in the domestic job market.” H.R. 1412 will incentivize employers to reach out to veterans because the legislation authorizes the VA to pay a portion of the veteran’s salary for the first two years while the veteran is gaining on the job skills and certifications. “Companies in my district have told me how beneficial this legislation can be for their operations because they know that veterans are hardworking, team-oriented individuals who are capable of learning the highly technical skills that are prevalent in many industries,” said Rep. Mike Coffman. Ken Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of Tri-State
Colorado SBDC launches “Connec2DOT” website for small businesses in the transportation industry
The Colorado Small Business Development Centers Network (SBDC), in partnership with Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), launched the Connect2DOT website this week (www.connect2dot.org). Connect2DOT provides free consulting, training and online resources for small businesses in the transportation industry. It is managed by the SBDC and funded by CDOT. The new website, which offers quick and easy access to essential information on doing business with CDOT, is part of Connect2DOT’s ongoing efforts to provide small and disadvantaged contractors with quality information and educational tools necessary to grow and succeed. “The SBDC helps small and medium-size businesses with all aspects of their business, and for us to branch out to assist with providing more resources in this specialized area of transportation makes perfect sense,” said Kelly Manning, State Director of the Colorado SBDC Network. “We are thrilled to partner with CDOT and help our businesses advance in this area of expertise.” The website is organized to help contractors that are just getting started and those that are looking to build their business. Resources have been collected from various sources and consolidated into one centralized location, making it easier to find CDOT project opportunities, get certified as a small business, connect with prime contractors, and register for relevant training and events.
“The launch of the Connect2DOT website marks a key milestone in our overall plan to expand small business resources to communities throughout Colorado under the direction of the Colorado SBDCs. There is now a one-stop online resource for contractors that puts all of the information they need to compete for CDOT contracts right at their fingertips,” said Greg Diehl, Manager of the CDOT Civil Rights & Business Resource Center. Other features of the website include an industry-wide event calendar, an interactive map of statewide SBDC locations, an opt-in bid matching system, and an email newsletter. Please visit www.connect2dot.org for the best and most up-to-date information on small business contracting in the Colorado transportation industry. As the program evolves, Connect2DOT kiosks with website access, monitors and printers will be placed at strategic locations throughout the state. One such kiosk will be placed at the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center located at the Chamber. These kiosks will be free to use by any company interested in growing their business in the transportation industries. “We are excited to host one of the Connect2DOT kiosks at the South Metro Denver SBDC. We will have a consultant dedicated to assisting clients grow their businesses in the transportation industry,” said Marcia McGilley, executive director of the South Metro Denver SBDC.

Coach pleased with Lions scrimmages Littleton wraps up contact camp facing three different opponents By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The pops of hard-pad hits brought smiles to sweaty faces of players and coaches June 6 during the Littleton football team’s scrimmages against Englewood, Jefferson and Lincoln. Littleton hired Kurt Krantz as head football coach during the off season, so the scrimmages were his first opportunities to see his players compete in full pads against an opponent. “I was very pleased with how our kids performed,” Krantz said of his team’s performances in the scrimmages. “You aren’t sure what to expect when you take over a program, and I am pleased to say I saw a lot of good things in the scrimmages. I saw
our kids doing what we asked and I saw them get better and more confident as the scrimmages progressed. It was a good day overall as our young kids stepped up to compete and our seniors provided leadership.” He and his assistants did a lot of coaching after most plays during the scrimmages. On offense, the coaches talked to the linemen about blocking assignments and to backs about improving how they run a play. Defensively, the focus was making sure the first tackle was secured to bring down the ball carrier. Krantz said he has 45 players out for the team, which includes 15 seniors. “We want out seniors to be the leaders,” he said. “We are putting the responsibility on their backs. It is their team and we’ll take it as far as it will go.” He said he has two players who could see time at quarterback: junior Joey Drennan and senior Nick McNamee, who saw some time with the varsity calling signals last year.
Littleton’s defensive end Patrick Healey, center, wraps up the Englewood scrimmage on June 6. Healey is slated to play defensive end for the Lions.
“We have returning lettermen at several skill positions but we lost a couple linemen to graduation, so we are looking for young kids to fill those spots,” he said. “We plan to mix it up on offense, looking to gain yardage on the ground and with the pass. We also want to focus on playing great defense, which is a key.” Senior quarterback McNamee said the hit camp has gone great for him, because it was time to learn the new offense installed by the new coach, and also to get everyone motivated to focus on football. “The camp also was good because the coaches worked with me to help me learn to play safety this season. That was all new to me because I have never played defense before,” he said. He said the team looks better than last year, as the players are coming together and are focusing on playing good football and winning games. “Personally, I just want to do my best to help the team because my goal and the goal of our team are to make the state
playoffs,” he said. Teammate Patrick Healey said he is excited about getting to play football because he missed all of last football season with a broken foot. “Even though it is summer, it feels great to be out on the football field,” he said. “I love football and being out here is fun.” Healey is slated to play defensive end. He said he enjoyed the scrimmage because he got to hit and tackle someone other than teammates. “I like to play defense and defensive end is where I like to play,” he said. “I have played defensive tackle, and I like defensive end better because it usually is more of a one-on-one matchup instead of being double-teamed inside.” Healey said he likes the way the team is looking so far. He said he watched the offense get rolling in the scrimmages and he felt the defense played well against all three teams, so he is looking forward to fall and the start of the regular season.
Littleton coach Kurt Krantz talks about the play he wants the offense to run in the June 6 scrimmage against Englewood. The coach said he was pleased with the performance of his young players and the leadership of his seniors.

We get to do a lot of things and we get to go exploring. I guess I really like everything we do.” Hay staff members Dale Lumpa and Kristal Kostiew came up with the idea for the camp that offers a variety of activities for youngsters ages 5-11. “I think Dale and I came up with the camp idea because we love the kids and miss them during the summer,” Kostiew said at the June 6 camp. “When we began setting up activities,

We take a field trip every day of the camp and here at Hay we have activities like arts and crafts and making snacks. The camp is going well. I

think things are working so well because we received such great support from the school district for this non-school activity.” The kids are kept busy.
The June 6 schedule had them taking a field trip to Bates Logan Park, doing arts and crafts, making chocolate and fruit crepes and getting very wet in the wading pools and plastic water slide. Lump and Kostiew also made sure education was mixed in with the fun activities. As the campers stirred the mixture for the crepes, they recited the multiplication table as they did 10 stirs each plus the counted to 10 in Spanish and in French. Julie Penroid, 8, said she liked everything about the camp, particularly the field trips where she saw new things. “We went biking to Hudson Gardens and I saw a turtle,” she said with a smile. “I like riding the bike too because it is good exercise and is fun to do.” Camper Kadyn Kruse built a crepe and did a good job getting very wet, kicking up a spray as he went sliding head first down the water-soaked plastic sheets. “I kinda like everything here at camp,” he said. “I guess I like lunch best and I like lunch best when we have cheese because I really like cheese. The camp keeps us busy, we get a lot of exercise and everything is fun.” Additional Cougar Camps are scheduled July 15-19 and Aug. 12-16. Registration forms are online at www.englewoodschools.com.
