Riding in possibly the coolest float in the entire parade, a trio of Western Welcome Week fans beat the heat with popsicles as they make their way along the parade route on Aug. 17 in downtown Littleton.

GRAND

With horses, tractors, fire engines, marching bands and classic cars, the 85th annual Western Welcome Week Grand Parade made its way through downtown Littleton. With a tip of the hat to the past and a nod to the future, approximately 125 entries moseyed their way down Main Street to crowds stacked three and four deep. As the parade concluded, Main Street opened up for an afternoon of shopping, food and activities. Find more photos from Festival Day on Page 10.

With some citizens complaining lately that Littleton City Council is approving too many multifamily projects, council heard from a local economist and representatives from the Colorado Apartment Association during its Aug. 13 study session.

According to city statistics, there are 821 apartments under review and 1,680 approved but not yet built. That includes 774 planned as part of a mixed-use development known as Santa Fe Park on the 111 acres at the southwest corner of Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue.

Council approved the plan in the 1980s, but it has never developed. Cassidy Turley Commercial Real Estate Services lists the land on its website as for sale for more than $29 million.

The second quarter of 2013 saw a record low vacancy rate of 2.4 percent in Littleton, said Nancy Burke, vice president of government and community affairs at AAMD. Statistics compiled by Patty Silverstein, president of Development Research Partners, showed the rate was 3.5 percent during the first quarter, compared to 4.6 percent throughout metro Denver at large.

“The Littleton market is a very strong market that absorbs these units very quickly,” said Silverstein.

Part of the reason is light rail, they agree.

“Light-rail transit stations are attractive to various segments of the population seeking lifestyle choices such as convenient access to jobs, leisure activities, educational facilities, shopping, convenience for telecommuting and home-based business, or simply to be near transportation,” writes Silverstein in a report prepared specifically for the city.

About 39 percent of Littleton’s housing is multifamily, compared to 16 percent in Douglas County and 32 percent in Denver. Burke said 35 percent represents a good mix, but transit-oriented development ups that. Average lease rates have climbed from $819 in 2008 to $963 now, higher than Denver but lower than Douglas County.

“I think the bottom line with any community is diversity of housing is so critical,” said Silverstein.

If council approves the Broadstone project, two-bedroom units will run about $1,800 a month. Already approved is Littleton Commons, 385 units that will lease for up to $2,100 a month on an 18-acre plot at the southeast corner of County Line Road and Erickson Boulevard.

Go ahead, help make someone’s day They stand on a corner, three teenage girls in colorful summer dresses, their hands held high and clutching posterboards in neon green and pink scrawled with cheery messages: “Find the good.”

“Smile - U - matter.”

“Stay positive.”

“Honk if you’re happy.”

And many drivers do, creating an intermittent cacophony of horns of varying timbres and tempos. The girls respond with wide smiles and spirited fist pumps.

Kinzi Kuhloie gives a thumbs-up as one driver leans on the horn repeatedly in a long series of honks. “Yeah!” she says excitedly. “They’re really pumped!”

Kinzi is 17 and she’s been sign-holding, as she calls it, for two years. Her motivation is uncomplicated.

“Life can get overwhelming and so many things can build up that you don’t find the good,” she says. “This reminds you to look for the good . . . and remember that it’s there.”

Kinzi and her friends, Alyssa Hayne, 16, and Emily VonDongen, 19, have hit the streets in Highlands Ranch with their signs about twice a week this summer. The positive response, they say, keeps them coming back.

“We’re making people happy,” Alyssa says, “one sign at a time.”

•••

Kinzi, Alyssa and Emily are part of a

growing grassroots crusade to spread positive thinking. She got the idea from a good friend, a student at Mesa State University in Grand Junction, who started a club to promote positivity by holding signs.

In Anacortes, Wash., in May 2012, the Happiness Sprinkling Project was born when people gathered at a popular intersection and held signs saying “You are loved” and “Yes oh Yes.” The movement to “sprinkle happiness” through sign-holding events has since spread to 20 cities and two countries, according to its website.

Last year, in Washington, D.C., a 29-year-old man campaigned to make people smile by standing at street corners with friends holding posterboards declaring “Honk if you love someone,” “Be happy” and “Don’t be so hard on yourself.”

Passersby loved them back.

These spontaneous, informal events fit neatly into the emerging field of positive psychology and the study of happiness. Instead of trying to figure out why we feel sad or depressed, positive psychology focuses

instead on how we can become happier and more fulfilled.

The world-renowned founder of positive psychology, Dr. Martin Seligman, directs the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. (You can take the free authentic happiness test on the center’s website at www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/Default.aspx.)

He contends that happiness can be analyzed into three measurable elements —positive emotion, engagement and meaning — and that the ultimate goal is to reach a state of well-being.

What Kinzi and her friends are doing may not be earth-shattering in terms of establishing lasting happiness, but creating moments that make us smile or laugh or lift our spirits can make a difference that matters.

Kateri McRae, an assistant professor at the University of Denver who researches emotions, notes that studies show our brains are wired in a way that tune in more quickly to negative information.

“Evolutionarily, negative information is usually more critical to deal with — and to deal with quickly — and so our brains process negative information a little bit faster,” she says. For instance, “If we discover there is something that wants to eat us out there, (the brain tells us) we should run as fast as possible.”

Our brains hone in rapidly on causes of negative emotion, too.

“We tend to pick out a `frownie’ face

out of a sea of smiling faces pretty quickly,” McRae says. “Negative emotions can even further narrow our attention and . . . remind us of other negative things,” generating a feedback loop that keeps circulating unhappy feelings.

But those same reinforcing effects manifest themselves with positive emotion also.

“Being in a positive mood tends to make you more aware of the more positive things around you,” McRae says. “Remembering positive things tends to remind you of other positive things.”

What Kinzi and her friends are doing, McRae says, can be clinically described as “benefit-finding” — encouraging people to look for the hidden benefits in life — a component of many therapeutic interventions.

“You never know what is going to send somebody up, flip around a downward spiral into an upward spiral,” McRae says.

“There is potential a sign could do that. My best guess would be that it helps a small portion of the people who drive by. You never know what’s going to turn someone’s day around. . . . Sometimes, you just need a reminder.”

For Kinzi and her friends, much happiness comes from making others happy.

Attorney seeks seat on school board Reutzel is longtime Bow Mar resident

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Jack Reutzel, an attorney, wants a seat on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education.

“I’ve never been in an education environment as a job,” he said. “That could be a positive.”

A 20-year resident of Bow Mar, Reutzel and Robert Reichert are the only schoolboard candidates who live west of Broadway.

Reutzel’s son graduated from Littleton High School and his daughter is a sophomore at Heritage. He says his kids have been happy, engaged and fulfilled during their time in LPS. “The board has been really constructive

the last several years, and they have a great working relationship,” he said.

“Clearly, they’re doing something right. … I don’t think there’s an overhaul necessary, but you always want to tweak. Just because we’re great now doesn’t mean we need to sit on our hands for the next 10 years.”

Like the other candidates, he hopes the next board will maintain the Reutzel positive.

“I would want all school board members to come in without an agenda,” he said.

“I want candidates who understand what they don’t know, seek to find the answers and make a decision in the best interest of our kids. That’s what I want a board member to be, and I think that’s what I’d be.”

He thinks his career and the fact that

he ran a business have prepared him for a place on the board.

“I try to build consensus, but when the time comes to make a decision, I make it,” he said.

Reutzel and his wife, Karen, maintained a private practice in the Coors Building on Main Street for several years, but they both now work at the Denver firm of Fairfield and Woods.

Specializing in land-use issues, he earned his law degree from the University of Denver and his master’s degree in city planning from the University of Pennsylvania.

“I’m proud of what Karen and I have been able to accomplish,” he said. “Raising our kids, having the friends we have and the work that we do.”

He feels the board’s job is to help allocate available resources in such a way as to best let the teachers teach and the students learn.

“I’m not running to be the tech guy. I’m

not running to be the finance director or the superintendent,” he said. “But I want to make their jobs as easy as possible by giving them the resources we have.”

Like the other four candidates, Reutzel hopes the current board decides to place an $80 million bond issue on the November ballot that would go toward maintaining infrastructure.

“The buildings are the district’s biggest asset,” he said. “There is lots of stuff that needs to happen to bring them into this new age of technology.”

The election is Nov. 5. Four people besides Reutzel have officially declared they’re running: Dallas Jones, Kelly Perez, Robert Reichert and Carrie Warren-Gully.

LPS canceled its last two elections when nobody stepped up to run against the incumbents.

This time, Bob Colwell, Renee Howell and Sue Chandler are all finishing their second four-year terms and cannot run again due to term limits.

‘Buycotts’ patronize businesses to encourage reform Movement focusing on immigration issue

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Igor Kagan, 28, was born in Ukraine, learned to tie his shoes in Italy, grew up in Los Angeles and chose to be an adult in Denver, so he knows a little bit about immigration.

“Everybody’s got a story,” he said. “Nobody just willy-nilly decides to uproot themselves and come here for no reason. It’s important for the system to be welcoming.”

Kagan is active with Bend the Arc, a national movement that pursues justice as a core expression of Jewish tradition.

“Jewish tradition is about liberation and love for humankind,” reads the organization’s website.

“We believe in the dignity and inherent

right of all people to live in a just, fair and compassionate society. As Jews immigrated to America, this belief was stowed in their luggage. … We are proud to continue living this legacy.”

The group is currently focusing its efforts on immigration reform, generally lining up in support of U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet’s work with the “Great Eight.”

“It’s a good start,” said Kagan. “We know that it’s still the very beginning, and it could end up entirely different.”

He feels it’s most important to get the “pathway to citizenship” aspect right in the legislation.

“This one is going to be difficult, but the most important thing, we feel,” he said.

“Without it, the rest of it won’t really work. … The end goal is that we hope it doesn’t push people to go further into the shadows.”

To raise awareness of its work, Bend the Arc staged a series of “buycotts” July 30. The opposite of a boycott, the event urged sup-

porters to patronize supportive businesses to show appreciation. It’s a concept that’s trending; there is even a cell-phone application to guide people toward everyday shopping that supports favorite causes.

“Our intent was to do something more positive,” said Kagan.

“We wanted to show elected officials that

small businesses care about immigration reform, and so do the people who spend money at small businesses. A lot of the work I’ve done has been adversarial. Sometimes you have to do it that way, but sometimes you can come up with interesting, innovative, positive ideas that achieve the same goal.”

Rotarians wrap up water project L

Staff

Littleton, Somoto clubs’ joint effort puts filters in 448 homes of villagers

Pa tleto sured to ne sessm “T Depu in a the score “Our ing such a dif done could Th adm Stud bridg

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com More than a year of planning, preparation and work culminated July 21 when Rotarians from Colorado and Nicaragua distributed 70 clean-water filters to residents of the small village of San Lucas.

Eight Rotarians from the chapter in Somoto, Nicaragua, and Colorado Rotarians Bob Moore of the Littleton chapter and Monty Schmidt of the Westminster chapter assembled the 70 ceramic filters and gave them to the local residents selected by the local priest to receive them.

Moore, who was making his third trip to Nicaragua on projects for the Casa Unida Foundation and to help with the filter projects, said the Rotarian project exceeded expectations.

“The original proposal was to use the Rotarian grants to buy the materials and build 261 bio-sand filter systems,” he said.

“We based the project number on the material prices from local Nicaraguan vendors. When they found out what we were doing they reduced material prices so we had money left over and it was decided to use the money to buy 180 ceramic filters.”

Moore and Schmidt helped Somoto Nicaraguans assemble and distribute the last 70 filters to residents in the area of San Lucas.

As she received her filter, San Lucas area resident Maria Cruz, 77, smiled and hugged Somoto Rotarian Claudia Quiroz.

An interpreter said Cruz thanked Quiroz and asked God to bless her and everyone who made it possible for her family now to finally have clean water to drink.

The Rotarians worked with the priest to select the San Lucas area

Yvonne Castillo, Somoto Rotary Club president, said most San Lucas area residents used water from wells or streams that contained bacteria and other contamination.

She said the specially-designed ceramic filter liner contains elements that will purify water and could provide about 30 liters of safe, clean drinking water a day.

The San Lucas distribution wraps up a program that began more than a year ago when Somoto Rotarians because they wanted to bring clean, safe drinking water to families in the rural mountain areas of northern Nicaragua.

The Nicaraguans talked about the project to Moore and other area Rotarians who brought the request back to their clubs.

“We looked into the filter project and decided to try to work with the club in Somoto to make the project happen,” Moore said.

“Money was needed to build the filters so our club, the Littleton Sunrise Rotary Club and the Aurora Gateway Rotary Club raised about $8,000. We then sent a successful request for additional financial support to the district and to Rotary International which increased the total project funding to about $21,000.”

The initial portion of the project involved constructing and dis-

tributing 270 bio-sand filter systems. The container was made of plastic pipe 30 inches in diameter with gravel and sand making up the filter system.

The ceramic filter systems are the same shape and size.

The decision to switch to the ceramic filters was made because so many areas like that around San Lucas area doesn’t have access to the amount of water needed to wash the dirt and debris out of the gravel and sand for a bio sand filter.

A large crowd gathered near the church in San Lucas on the day the filters were distributed.

and about 4 feet high.

The ceramic filter system fit into the open top of the container so the clean water could drain into the lower portion of the system.

“Some of these people walked more than an hour to receive these filters that will make a difference in their lives,” Moore said.

“There were big smiles when someone’s name was called to receive a filter system. Each of them thanked us, picked up the filters and started on the walk home.”

Now that the filter project is completed, the Somoto and Colorado Rotarians are discussing by email if they want to join forces on another project and, if so, what that project would be.

t LPS scores continue positive trends Staff report

Parents who sent their kids back to Littleton Public Schools this week can rest assured the district is doing its job, according to newly released Transitional Colorado Assessment Program results.

“This is pretty amazing data,” said LPS Deputy Superintendent Connie Bouwman in a news release, pointing particularly to the fact that special-education students’ scores increased in 24 of the 27 areas tested.

“Our teachers have been doing outstanding work in implementing interventions such as co-teaching that are clearly making a difference. While there is much yet to be done, this is a terrific, exciting beginning. I couldn’t be more proud of a great team.”

This is the third year the TCAP has been administered since it replaced the Colorado Student Assessment Program, or CSAP. It’s bridging the gap until new state standards

are fully established.

LPS students outperformed the state averages of those scoring at or above proficient levels by as much as 20 percentage points, and all grades scored at least 80 percent proficient and advanced in reading for the second year in a row. Fourth-, fifth-, sixth and eighth-graders achieved all-time high scores in reading.

“District writing scores continue to be much higher than the state average, but the results have been inconsistent over the years,” reads the release, noting that they improved in six of the eight grade levels tested. “LPS looks forward to a new state writing assessment that will hopefully provide better data on student performance.”

Math scores are the highest ever in several areas and remained high or improved at all grade levels, and gender gaps have disappeared.

In science, all grades continue to score

Other highlights Littleton High School maintained or improved in five of seven areas tested. LHS 9th grade writing scores are at an all-time high.

Powell Middle School scores improved in nine of 10 areas tested.

Euclid Middle School maintained or improved scores in eight of 10 areas tested.

East Elementary School experienced double-digit gains in third grade reading, third grade writing, third grade math, and fifth grade math.

Littleton Academy middle school scores are at or above 90 percent proficient and advanced in nine of 10 areas tested.

11 to 18 percentage points above the state average proficient and advanced.

In 11 of the 12 areas measured in grades 6 through 10, the percent of economically disadvantaged students catching up or

keeping up increased significantly. Minority students outpaced the state average in growth in eight out of nine areas measured.

Students with disabilities in seven of eight grades showed gains in math and reading, and all eight grades improved writing scores.

Overall, LPS students demonstrated growth at a rate above the state median in 85 percent of the areas measured.

“Increasing student achievement and closing gaps in student performance is hard work,” said Superintendent Scott Murphy in the statement. “The board of education values this above all else, and I speak for the board and myself when I say we are very proud of the ways in which our teachers, principals, parents and students work together to help all students achieve at higher levels.”

NerdWallet loves Littleton

NerdWallet, a consumer advocacy website, has named Littleton the 10th best place in Colorado for young families. It analyzed towns across the state according to five criteria: Public school rating from GreatSchools, average home value, cost of homeownership, average income and economic growth. It cites the city’s cost of living, award-winning education system, and economic growth,

and says the community is one of the most affordable areas outside of Denver.

“Littleton has mastered the craft of converting old to new. Its downtown is lined with turn-ofthe-century buildings that house a mix of hip restaurants and bars, quaint antique shops and art galleries,” said Mike Anderson, who conducted the study.

Corps releases final Chatfield study Federal government sticking with original plan for reservoir Staff report The public has until Sept. 3 to comment on the final Chatfield Reservoir reallocation study, which was released Aug. 2.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has not changed its stance from the draft study.

To meet the growing need for water in the metro area, it still recommends reallocating 20,600 acre-feet of water from flood control to usable storage. That would raise the water in the recreation area by 12 feet, covering more of the park with water and requiring reconfiguration of the marina and other amenities.

The Corps notes a study by the statewide Water Supply Initiative that estimates Colorado will need between 600,000 and 1 million acre-feet annually of additional municipal and industrial water by the year 2050.

“There is also a strong need for additional water supplies for the agricultural community in the South Platte Basin, as thousands of acres of previously irrigated land has not been farmed in recent years due to widespread irrigation well curtailments,” reads a Corps press release.

The final report outlines three other options but concludes this is the least costly and has the most local support. It says this option would provide $8.42 million annually in economic benefits, while still acknowledging there could be adverse effects on recreation and the environment that will be “mitigated to the most sustainable alternative to below a level of significance.”

Gwyn Jarrett, project manager, says the Corps worked extensively with groups like Sierra Club and Audubon Society.

“By working together, the (study) captures and reflects a balance of interests and ultimately proposes the recommended alternative,” she said.

The draft report, published in June 2012, received nearly 1,000 comments from the public. Last August, Littleton City Council added its support to the project, but with some reservations.

“While Littleton continues to support the Chatfield reallocation project, it is concerned that the (Corps) has not given sufficient consideration to the potential environmental impact that may result under the (plan),” they write. “Specifically, Littleton is concerned that the potential impacts to aquatic and riparian habitat immediately downstream of Chatfield in (South Platte Park) have not been adequately addressed.”

In the final version of the study, the Corps acknowledges downstream flows are a key uncertainty.

“While mitigation and modification plans have been developed … in coordination with resource agencies, there is still a level of concern that implementing a reallocation could lead to a somewhat different condition for which environmental mitigation or recreational facility modification has not been designed appropriately,” reads the study. It says the water providers are working closely with resource agencies on projects that could pick up where the mitigation efforts leave off.

A statement last summer listed 49 entities supporting the plan, including Denver Water and a host of smaller water districts, several upstream counties and towns, the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority, Shea Homes, some water conservation boards and environmental groups.

The Highlands Ranch Metro District also submitted a letter of support, and the Highlands Ranch Community Association joined them but added some reservations.

It expressed concerns about damages to the environment and recreational amenities in its letter, but Chairman Scott Lemmon said he felt confident that these concerns were being addressed by the Corps.

“I think that the long-term water security for Highlands Ranch far outweighs the 500 acres (of recreational space affected), even though it is a concern,” said board member Brock Norris.

t the Army

Hunters, campers and curious gather to formally open retail operation in Lone Tree

85,000-square-foot Sidney, Neb., store in size.

Most in line said they were longtime Cabela’s customers, many of whom previously had made the long journey to the Sidney store. Cabela’s is headquartered in Sidney.

Some were hunters, some campers and some just curious.

“I think we mainly came because it’s fun to people watch,” said Golden resident Kerry Bostwick. “This is really fun. Everyone is so laid back.”

“I’m excited to look at the clothing and shoes and not have to guess at the size,” said Littleton’s Randy Alldridge, who in the past was a Cabela’s catalog shopper.

Rock music blasted across the parking lot, and cart-pushing Cabela’s employees doled out water bottles and doughnuts to the waiting customers.

While tour buses deposited customers at the back of the store and the overflow parking lot at Havana Street and RidgeGate Parkway threatened to overflow, store em-

ployees rallied inside. Football in hand, Cabela’s regional retail manager Diane Uhlenkamp revved up the more than 200 staff members and corporate visitors crowded inside the store’s massive main hall.

“It’s Super Bowl time,” she said. “It’s gonna be big from here on out. Take great care of those folks out there because that’s what we’re here for.”

“This has been (founder) Dick Cabela’s dream — to have a store in Denver,” Cabela’s COO Michael Copeland said, adding the opening of two stores simultaneously exceeded that vision. “We’ve already set some records this week. I don’t know what they put in the water in Denver.”

Copeland led employees in a cheer, asking, “Who are we?”

“Lone Tree, Lone Tree, Mile High Great,” the staff roared in return.

Moments before the doors opened, store, county and city officials addressed the crowd, most of whom were so far from the doors, they couldn’t hear the speeches.

Cabela’s is “a perfect complement to the world-class retail we have down here,” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning, urging the crowd to remember the day was a celebration of Cabela’s. “So when you walk in, don’t be stingy.”

Douglas County Commissioner Jack Hilbert took Gunning’s advice to heart. An avid outdoorsman, Hilbert said he spent about $1,000 during a preview event at the store and another $100 on opening day.

ald. This is his sixth trip to Littleton with his wife, Loretta. They’re excited this time to visit Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, a Western art show and the Buckhorn Exchange restaurant in Denver.

The L/BSCE was established by former Littleton Independent publisher Houstoun Waring and Curly Annabel, the editor of a newspaper in Bega, after the U.S. State Department and U.S. Information Agency made “Small Town Editor” in 1951. The agencies showed it in foreign countries to encourage an independent press to compete with government-controlled news. It was filmed in Littleton and featured Waring, who had achieved national recognition for his editorials on foreign affairs.

According to begalittleton.org, Annabel saw the film and was entranced by the similarities between the towns and their newspapers.

He reached out, and a friendship was born that became the first of many federal sister-city programs. Residents have taken turns visiting each other ever since — Littleton sends a delegation to Bega in the first and sixth years of the decade, and Bega citizens visit Littleton in the third and eighth years.

Although they were very similar when the exchange was formalized in 1961, Littleton, with more than 40,000 residents, has

grown to nearly 10 times the population of its sister city. Bega has maintained its agricultural heritage and is best known for its production of dairy products.

“What I like best about Bega are the people, the friendships that are made and the closeness of our group,” said Elfi Smith, president of the Littleton chapter. “But the attraction to go there is the rural element — the farms, the horses. It’s just so down to earth.”

McDonald said the delegation was very much looking forward to riding in Western Welcome Week’s Grand Parade on Aug. 17, as they don’t have an annual parade in Bega.

They do have an agricultural festival similar to the county fair, with farmers showing off

their produce and ladies entering jam and baked goods for judging.

During the welcoming party, Sen. Linda Newell presented the Aussies with a senatorial proclamation, the new “Bega Street” sign was unveiled to officially rename the section of Rio Grande Avenue that runs adjacent to the park, and former city manager Larry Borger led the crowd in singing “Waltzing Matilda.” He explained that “waltzing” means “roaming” in Australia, and Matilda is thought to be the wanderer’s bedroll. He believes the song is a reminder not to take life too seriously.

“Be thankful you’re free,” he told the crowd. “Be proud of where you are and where you came from.”

“We slept in our lawn chairs, tucked into a little ball,” Folmar said. “It was probably about 50 degrees with 30 mph winds. I think it’s worth it. Now, it’s just what kinda goodies are we going to get?”

Cabela’s gave gift cards in varying amounts — one for $500 — to the first 500 people in line for the Lone Tree store’s Aug. 15 grand opening.

Campers started showing up at the store Aug. 13, store officials said. By the time the doors opened at 11 a.m., they estimated 5,000 people were waiting in a line that stretched all the way around the 110,000-square-foot building.

Another 5,000 more gathered several miles north at the Thornton store, which opened simultaneously. Lone Tree’s store, at 110,000 square feet, is slightly larger than Thornton’s, and even surpasses the

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton said g’day Aug. 15 to two dozen fair dinkin Aussies with a ripper rage for cobbers old and new, as well as several local journos and pollies, and everyone was feeling true blue.

Translation: Littleton welcomed two dozen genuine Australians Aug. 15 with a great party for friends old and new, as well as several local journalists and politicians, and everyone was feeling patriotic.

“I have never felt prouder,” Barb Westmacott, president of the Bega chapter of the Bega/Littleton Sister City Exchange, told the group gathered in downtown’s Bega Park to greet Aussies. “The friends we have here are like family. I have to say, even though it’s a throw-away line, it’s like coming home.”

Bega’s downtown is reminiscent of Littleton’s, a narrow street of small shops in historic buildings. But Bega has rolling green fields and ocean shores on its outskirts instead of panoramic mountain views.

opinions / yours and ours

Local politics better without partisanship Across Colorado, budding candidates for city and town councils and school boards are wrapping up the process of gathering signatures for their nomination petitions. These citizens are working to get their names on the ballot for this November’s election, and ultimately, they are trying to win a spot on an elected board that comes with little or no pay.

Voters will pick from among these candidates without a party affiliation listed for the candidates.

Further, a search for candidate information on the Secretary of State’s Tracer website yields the term “nonpartisan” next to the category “party.” Indeed, these are officially nonpartisan elections they are hoping to compete in.

But don’t be fooled: There are parti-

our view san races being waged for municipal and school board offices in this state. Colorado law does not prohibit a candidate from campaigning as a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or member of any other party.

In other words, a candidate can tout that he or she is a member of a certain party, secure that party’s endorsement and even run among a slate of candidates looking to grab or maintain power for that party on an elected board. And voters who have been paying attention are not likely

to need a party affiliation listed on their ballots to know who represents Team Blue or Team Red or Team Other.

While it is not illegal, we believe this process violates the spirit of election law.

The real spirit of serving on a city council or a school board, as we wrote in an editorial last month, should be a noble calling to public service — to make a community better. It is not promoting the platform of a major, national political organization.

We believe local politics should be about people, not parties.

It is particularly a shame when partisanship rears up to narrow the pool of candidates in an attempt to prevent votes from being split. Sure, when a party encourages someone not to run, it is a pragmatic move in that it increases the likelihood of

achieving a victory. But it also suppresses diversity of thought and likely keeps some very well-intentioned, capable citizens from public service.

Don’t get us wrong. We’re not saying every local campaign has been taken over by partisanship. Just too many — regardless of what that number is.

For now, we encourage candidates who feel a true calling to serve to stick with it.

There’s nothing wrong with being a member of a political party, but if you are truly dedicated to helping the community, don’t let your affiliation dictate whether you will seek office. If you win, don’t let it determine how you will serve.

Come November, we encourage voters to simply choose the best person for the job.

Make healthy homework a habit

Something is hiding under the bed I have just returned from periodontal surgery and I am in no mood to labor my thoughts, but I have a deadline to meet, so I am going to plow forward with something. I may wander. I am still on painkillers.

Most people are afraid of the dentist. In fact, in some polls, going to the dentist is No. 1 on the list of things we fear most. It’s always one, or two, behind public speaking.

Snakes, flying, and Rachel Ray round out the top five.

See what I mean? I’m daft.

I don’t fear the dentist. I should get a room in his office. I have had surgery and extractions and root canals. I had cavities drilled when I was a kid before Novocaine. I don’t recommend it.

Maybe you read “A Million Little Pieces,” James Frey’s Oprah mess that has a chapter about oral surgery without an anesthetic.

It’s a lie, but it’s vivid.

I had a lot of dental care without an anesthetic, so being numbed now is a blessing, even though it seems like dental care in my life has been non-stop.

But it isn’t the dentist that I am afraid of.

I thought I would give you my list, while I am still comfortably numb.

And it’s all nonsense. Or drivel. Your next assignment is to read Pure Drivel. Steve Martin.

All right, here’s my list, what scares me.

Country music. Joel Osteen. Flo. Nancy Grace. Pop Tarts. Lunchables.

Pat Robertson. Wayne LaPierre. Postconsumerism. The Dewey Decimal System.

Discount sushi. Transparency. Kierkegaard.

Buffalo Bob. Bologna. Kittens. This one is too easy, he scares everyone: Richard Simmons.

Family Feud. Kate Spade purses. Cosmopolitan. Gene Simmons. Paula Deen. Chaz Dean.

Parakeets. Viagra commercials. ABBA. Guys and Dolls. Emoticons. Light jazz.

Non-dairy whitener. Plug-in air fresheners.

Joseph Prince.

Mississippi. Black Friday. Wind chimes.

Suncatchers. Perfume. Craig Ferguson.

Bowling shirts. John Travolta’s hair color.

Chick-fil-A. Spencer’s.

Shepard Smith. Misty May-Treanor. Kerri Walsh Jennings. Marie Callender’s. Aunt Jemima. Betty Crocker. Uncle Ben’s. Martha

Stewart. The View. This one is too easy too: Anthony D. Weiner. Florida’s Division of Elections. Speed trap on Yale between I-25 and Colorado Boulevard. The Sixth Step.

Fajitas, Mojitos. Carly Rae Jepsen. Hallmark cards. Sigfried and Roy. Pinky Lee. Crocs. Skip Bayless. Dinger. Buddy Hackett.

Aimee Semple Mcpherson.

Hamburger Helper. Brent Musburger.

Lower back tattoos. Flavor Flav.

Jimmy Dean sausage patties. Texas politicians. Chuck E. Cheese. Chuck Norris.

It’s a long list and it’s getting longer all the time. It’s crazy out there, man.

When I was a kid, my biggest fear was skeletons that were alive and running around. I would have nightmares and go climb in bed with my mother and father. I am sure they loved that.

Years later in a film class at UCLA, I watched Georges Méliès’ A Trip to the Moon and there they were: lots and lots of living skeletons running around like maniacs.

Turbulence. Chinese talapia. Top Ramen.

PT Cruisers. Olive Garden’s Never Ending Pasta Bowl. Peep toe wedges. Flip-flops on my insurance agent. Dulcolax.

Marilyn Monroe said, “Fear is stupid. So are regrets.” She’s right, but it’s a tough call.

The past is always ready to visit me, reminders are on stand-by.

It takes work to look forward, otherwise I am dragged at the ankles by something I can’t change. There is one place I can go where I have no fears at all, and even though it’s just off of the dining room, it took years and years to get there. I was fearful I would never make it. My studio.

There is one final fear. Sometimes I scare myself. To be honest, I kind of like it.

Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net

One of the questions my kids dreaded throughout their education was when I would ask this, “Do you have any homework tonight?” Of course they hated that question, I hated it too when I was growing up and my mother would ask me the very same thing.

Well it’s that time of year again when kids of all ages are settling back into the school routine and homework will be inevitable. And I think that many students get uncomfortable about the question because they would much prefer to say that there was no homework assigned or just a very little bit so that they can spend time with friends and doing anything other than their assignments.

At the end of the day the only person who really suffers is the student. Surely as parents we agonize over it a little too, but we can only do so much in the way of accountability. The student has to want to succeed and be an active participant in their own learning and growth.

Homework is perceived as a “thing” that has to get done, when at the end of the day it’s really about work ethic and attitude.

Homework is a behavior that drives success whether we are in school, at work, or trying to grow personally or professionally.

You see, we can’t manage results, we can only manage behaviors. And it is in our school days that we develop this work ethic and positive habits that will propel us in our future endeavors.

Anyone reading this column can probably look back at a time when you or your child procrastinated or just avoided a homework assignment or maybe a few consecutive assignments. The outcome was that we fell farther behind and playing catch-up was infinitely harder. And we can also look back at a time when we took the time to do the homework, and how amazing it felt when we breezed through a quiz or test. Again, it’s about the behaviors that

The Independent

deliver results.

And as we fast forward past our school years and evaluate where we are today in our career we can probably point to specific times when we fell behind at work because we didn’t do the little extra things at the end of our day such as planning and preparing, making lists, looking at our goals, or checking off what we had accomplished. When we view this kind of work as productive we can view our homework as being healthy. It’s when we have the attitude that we would rather avoid the behavior of a little extra work that we deprive ourselves of the feeling of accomplishment and we erode our beliefs in our own capabilities and what we can truly achieve.

Learning and growing is something that is a constant part of our entire lives not just during our years of schooling. We should always be “on the grow” as we look to raise the bar a little each and every day.

And healthy homework whether we are a student or enjoying a career is a great way to ensure our future success.

Are you keeping up with your healthy homework? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and together let’s continue to learn and make this a better-than-good week.

Pastors provide spiritual support I just hired a publicist to help me take my book sales and the Big League message, “Your Life Matters” to more people.

Now I am surprised with the fact that I have a publicist and an agent. It always seemed that rich, famous people were ones with publicists and agents. Now I know that is not always the case.

I also have an accountant that does my taxes and keeps my 501(c)(3) in compliance with the government. My dentist and doctor help me keep my mouth and body healthy. It is quite a team that I have to help me live life and take on challenges that are bigger than I am.

Another important member of “Team Dan” is my pastor. Recently a situation reminded me how important my pastor is to me and what an important part of my life he is. This experience exceeded the normal Sunday sermon, as important as that is.

Each week he seeks to hear from God in a way that is faithful to the Holy Scriptures so that he can bring a message that strengthens the lives of those who listen.

It is not that I need to be told how to live as much as his message so often matches what has been stirring in my spirit because of the challenges of everyday life. When I

accidents and problems that are too complicated to share with the general public.

While some Pastors have been derelict in their duties or disappointed their parishioners with ethical or moral failure, the vast majority sacrificially minister so that their congregation receives inspiration, insight and even correction so that God will be real and relevant in the lives of their parishioners.

My taxes are too complicated for me to do them by myself. I can’t work on my teeth or prescribe meds to treat an infection.

I need my dentist and doctor. My agent knew how to get a book published and his expertise benefited me and I hope my publicist will benefit me as much so sales will grow and the message will spread. But not everybody needs a publicist, but everyone needs a pastor and they are all eager to add another parishioner to their care.

hear his message it is a confirmation to me, often expressed in a way that is memorable, of who God is and how important He is to me and my circumstances.

There was a situation at work that troubled me. I was upset and could not find peace as far as what to do. Thankfully I ran into him at a coffee shop. Our relationship began at a coffee shop when the only empty seat on a busy Monday morning was next to him. That suits my lifestyle as I feel like the Lead Pastor at the “St. Arbucks” parish.

I am at the coffee shop so often. He took time to listen to me for a few minutes then offered a perspective that I had not thought of, but was exactly what I needed to hear. I left, thankful that I had such a wise, Godly and caring influence in my life.

Throughout most of my adult life I did not have a pastor — I was the pastor. It was an honor to be called Pastor Dan but that side of the relationship did not give me the vantage point to appreciate the enormity of the contribution of a pastor’s work to the life of a parishioner. As a Hospice chaplain, there are more times when the benefits of my efforts in the lives and circumstances of the recipients are more quickly apparent. It is not easy work to stand with people at the dramatic time of their loved one’s sickness and passing from this life to the next, but it is rewarding to feel the value of my work.

Nearly all of the churches in our town have a priest or pastor. Many have a staff of pastors with specializations. Youth pastors make it possible for students to have a pastor who they can go to with concerns that their youth pastor understands. Pastors of men’s or women’s ministries focus their efforts on subjects and settings that minister to their target audience.

A relatively new specialization that comes in a larger church is a minister of Pastoral Care. Gifts of compassion and insight guide this person to listen, comfort and be present in the lives of the church family during sickness, divorce, traumatic

Apartment right direction,” said Burke, by working with good developers. “It’s not the poorly built boxes of the 1960s anymore.”

Mayor Debbie Brinkman said she was shocked to read in Silverstein’s report that Littleton’s average household income is about $56,000, as compared to $99,000 in Douglas County and $60,000 in Denver.

“Ideally, we’d want to have housing that would raise that income level, because we’re sales-tax based,” she said.

Using the industry standard that rent should be no more than 30 percent of income, a tenant would need to make more than $75,000 to afford $2,100 a month.

But by and far, reaction is overwhelmingly positive.

“Some guy pulled over last week and gave us $20,” Kinzi says. “He said, `You deserve some lunch.’ That was cool.”

Another driver once parked to say: “I was having a terrible day and your sign completely turned it around and gave me hope.”

Kinzi has plans to start a club that would take the positivity from the signholding to another level, something longer lasting — “the idea if I can change your day, you’ll change somebody else’s day.”

The DRP report says people 35 and older are most likely to move to be near transit.

While the number of Littleton residents 65 and older continues to go up, the population of people between the ages of 15 and 44 continues to decline.

“That’s our future, that’s our work force,” said Silverstein Burke said renters today tend to be longer term and less transient than in the past, many renting by choice rather than necessity. And foreclosure, student debt and job insecurity have contributed to the desirability of renting, she added.

“Many of the baby boomers are looking at it from a lifestyle perspective of, `Where do I want to be?’ ” said Silverstein. “And the younger people, they’ve seen what happened with this whole housing bust and are thinking, `I don’t want to go there.’ But I believe it still is part of the American dream.”

But, on this afternoon, the girls enthusiastically wave their signs in the hope of bringing a little joy to someone who could use a pick-me-up.

One driver shouts through a window: “Have a good day!”

“Yeah!” Emily shouts back, glee in her voice. “You, too!”

A car with two young men stops, waiting for the light to change. The driver leans over and yells: “What are you guys doing this for?”

Emily grins: “To make you guys happy!”

He pauses a moment, looks at her, then: “Thank you for making my day.”

And he eases the car into the intersection, the smile on his face celebrating a moment of unexpected and simple pleasure.

lot of people expressing

Hundreds of people and probably at least that many four-legged friends visited the Best of the West Pet Fest celebration Aug. 18 at Aspen Grove in Littleton.

The event included pony rides, a pet parade and a pet costume contest that raised funds for the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley.

The society also took the event as an opportunity to promote adoptions of some of the animals at the society.

The focus on pets attracted a lot of dogs, a cat or two and a lot of other animals.

There were pony rides, an opportunity to brush and pet goats, the organization Nature’s Educators had volunteers walking the midway with big snakes wrapped around parts of their body and the organization’s booth featured raptors, which included a red-tailed hawk.

Charles Kelley attracted a lot of attention as he brought his three wolf hybrids to the event.

The oldest, Yukon, was a timber wolf while the other two, Rocky and Spooky were part prairie wolf.

In addition, there were hundreds of dogs of various sizes, shapes and colors moving up and down the midway-like area with their owners.

because we have had a

Event planner Pam Camelio “I brought my children here today because we love animals but I didn’t bring my dogs because I didn’t know what to expect,” Arapahoe County resident Rick Jones said.

“As expected, there are a lot of dogs here and the vast majority of these pets are very well-behaved It is fun seeing all the different kinds of dogs but I didn’t expect to get the chance for my 4-year-old to ride a pony or my 6-year-old son to pet a wolf. We are having a great time and, if they do this next year, we’ll probably bring our dogs so they can enjoy the day too.”

Pam Camelio, event planner, said it took about three months work to organize and plan the pet fest.

“We tried to invite vendors that were all pet related and we got a wide variety of pets and displays,” she said.

“The society used its special van to bring a lot of adoptable animals to the festival. I think that is a success because we have had a lot of people expressing interest in the animals which is at least a step toward getting them adopted.”

Pieces of tradition on display Quilt show highlights ‘Spirit of the West’ one square at a time

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Perhaps nothing better tells the tale of the “Spirit of the West” better than the Quilt Show at First Presbyterian Church of Littleton, because each artifact has, at some point, embraced a little piece of the whole.

Quilts come through the ages as precious family heirlooms, symbols of warmth and comfort, intricate masterpieces of folk art.

A bit of material pieced in might call up memories of a mother’s favorite Sunday dress or grandma’s baking apron, family gatherings or traditions.

“It’s amazing to me how I can be here for hours and hours and hours and then walk down an aisle and see something that I hadn’t seen before,” said Jenny Staritzky, who started the Western Welcome Week event 11 years ago.

It’s grown to fill the church’s beautiful and historic sanctuary to overflowing with dozens of colorful quilts from generations young and old.

“Jesus said, `I will not leave you comfort-

First Presbyterian Church of Littleton’s annual Quilt Show is one of Western Welcome Week’s more colorful events.

Photo by Jennifer Smith less,” reminds Staritzky, and he certainly would find something to suit anyone in her show. From flowers to graphic patterns, children to kittens, antique cars to fishing,

butterflies to giraffes, quilts reflect the personalities and the ages from whence they came.

One was made by Lakota Indians as a

gift for a bereaved family. Many were made to welcome babies into the world, many to comfort the ailing or tragedy-stricken. One was made as a family tree, another incorporates a growing child’s infant attire. A brandnew one was on display in the church lobby, waiting as a surprise from a new mother-inlaw to be discovered by the happy couple during their wedding rehearsal later that evening.

Staritzky says the show and its stories are truly a community event, with pieces on loan from individuals and quilting groups like Firehouse Quilts, which donates its work to comfort local children in crisis, and the church’s own Piecemakers.

“We just have a great time, getting a group of ladies together, talking and stitching,” said Blythe Lund. And it’s all for a good cause, as they auction the quilts to benefit various charities, she adds.

It’s not just ladies, either. A star of this year’s show was pieced by one very ruggedlooking Jose Archuleta, notes Staritzky. And not all the ladies quilt - Staritzky herself only took one stab at it before deciding she was a better collector.

“If someone collects antique door stops, no one thinks they made them,” she laughs.

“If someone collects art, no one asks if they painted it. If someone collects Corvettes, no one thinks they built them. I decided it’s OK to admire quilts, respect quilts and care for a collection.”

Eye on the weather Museum Outdoor Arts offers educational exhibits in galleries

By Sonya Ellingboe

Details

Museum Outdoor Arts, MOA, has its Indoor Gallery in the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway, next to the Light Rail Station. Admission is free. Hours: 9-5 Tuesdays through Thursdays; 9 -4 Fridays; 11-4 Saturdays. For information: 303-806-0444, moaonline.org.

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The Museum Outdoor Arts in Englewood has a new exhibit and a new logo: MOA (the “of” is dropped). The logo was adopted in the hope that patrons will better understand the museum’s mission, which is much more than just outdoor sculptures.

“We also offer indoor galleries and studios, as well as arts education programs, film and external collaborations” said a recent press release.

Education projects include two 2013 versions of its long-running “Design and Build” program.

The first was with students from Regis University, Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design and CU Boulder, who built temporary sculptures utilizing the theme “abstract.”

These are on display through Sept. 3 at the McNichols Civic Center Building, 144 W. Colfax Ave., Denver, hosted by Denver Arts and Venues.

The second, “Weather Suspended,” opened Aug. 3 at the MOA indoor gallery

on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center. It will run through Oct. 19, accompanied by two separate individual exhibits

by Sally Stockholder (photographs in the back gallery) and Virginia Maitland (paintings, in the atrium).

Twelve interns from across the country spent eight weeks in the spacious MOA studios, developing interpretations focused on the themes of “abstracted” and “weather.”

Lead artist was the versatile Cory Gilstrap of Denver, who worked with interns to develop seven joint installations and 12 individual 2-foot by 8-foot panels that each interpreted a chosen weather-related word.

Joint projects include: • Cloud Walk,” a large cluster of white Tryvek strips, suspended from the ceiling and reaching the floor, shimmering with every bit of breeze. The visitor is invited to hold one’s hands in a prayerful position and walk among them, surrounded by whiteness and light.

• “Water Line,” a massive square papier mache, painted block, is also suspended

from the ceiling, with detritus beneath, created from papier mache and paint.

• As one enters the gallery, a breeze created by banks of matched, black electric fans, spins hundreds of clear plastic whirligigs of various sizes, fastened to walls on both sides. “Wind Shadow,” the installation is called and the effect is magical.

• “Weather Terms,” a list compiled by interns, is posted with an artists’ name next to each: Drought, Frost, Hail, Humid, Hurricane, Lightning, Monsoon, Overcast, Scorcher, Spring Rain, Sunshine, Thunderhead.

These were the titles for the individual panels, which fill a wall. The visitor is invited to guess the title, then lift a flap to check for correctness: • In the White Gallery, one finds “Tornado,” made with whirling suspended foam forms and video projections on the walls.

• Projected on a wall in the main gallery is “Word Cloud” and next to a window, “Topiary” is a globe surrounded by a ring of growing, flourishing philodendron, which must be watered weekly.

• “Wind Shadow” is the final joint project designed by the 12 interns under Gilstrap’s guidance.

In the rear Sound Gallery a visitor finds a short film showing the interns at work as they “Designed and Built” the components of this really interesting exhibit — one that families, as well as artists, will enjoy.

New art guide in galleries, museums “Artscape 2014” is published and being delivered to galleries and museums in the Denver-Boulder area and the Pikes Peak region; southern Colorado (Trinidad is new this year), plus Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont, Loveland for art lovers to enjoy.

The free 128-page, pocket-sized guidebook includes more than 100 full-color art reproductions, maps and special indexes.

Charles Whitley of Centennial publishes the guide each fall through his Spotlight Publications.

Nice to have in the glove compartment of your car. (spotlightpub@yahoo.com).

As the saying goes, “there’s no such thing as bad publicity.” Especially free publicity.

Boulder Canyon’s potato chips got a plug on cable TV’s “Breaking Bad” on Aug. 11 when a character in the AMC network series is shown munching on a bag of Boulder Canyon’s sea salt and cracked pepper chips.

In Sunday’s mid-season premiere, Hank Schrader (played by actor Dean Morris), a Drug Enforcement Agency agent and brother-in-law of Walter White, the series’ chemistry teacher turned crystal meth maker - is digging into a bag Boulder Canyon’s chips.

How did Boulder Canyon take the news that its product was featured on a hit cable series about cancer-stricken high school teacher (played by Bryan Cranston) turned drug kingpin?

On its Twitter feed (@BoulderCanyon), the company wrote: “Now we know Hank’s got good taste in his snacks! We wonder what flavor Walt would like...?” and “Eating our chips clearly helps in the investigative process.”

Boulder Canyon said it did not pay for product placement on the show.

The Boulder Camera first reported the story.

Musical driven

by Latin beat

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com As lights at Vintage Theatre go up, Usnavi (Alejandro Roldan) is front and center of his little corner of Washington Heights, where we see his bodega, Rosario’s taxi service and Daniela’s beauty shop. An outline of the Brooklyn Bridge is at the rear.

He raps about his neighborhood and the folks who live there — and serves sweet, hot café con leche to get the day started.

It’s Fourth of July weekend and infectious background music soon has everyone dancing to a happy Latin-pop score.

“In the Heights,” in its first local production, was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda as a college project to begin with, with book by Quiara Alegria Hudes.

It won a Best Musical Tony in 2008, as well as Best Score and Best Choreography.

Director Rebecca Joseph makes her directorial debut in Denver, although she has been stage manager and assistant director in the area.

She writes that when rights became available, she began searching for the first production, made an agreement with artistic director Craig Bond of Vintage and found actors who were as enthusiastic as she was about the piece.

Parallel stories involve beloved Abuela Claudia (Marisa Dannielle Hebert), who more or less raised the orphaned Usnavi and good-natured cousin Sonny (Carlos

Details “In the Heights” plays through Sept. 1 at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Free parking next to the theatre. Tickets: $30 ($25 advance). Senior, student discounts. 303-856-7830, vintagetheatre.com Jimenez) who helps with the bodega. Kevin and Camila, who run the taxi business and their assistant Benny, who raps as he talks with drivers and falls in love with their daughter Nina, who has been at Stanford.

(Since he’s not Latino, he’s not acceptable to the parents — another storyline.)

Usnavi is interested in glamorous Vanessa, whose dream is an apartment of her own in a better part of town. Singer Janessa O’Fallon brings a great voice to her theater debut as Vanessa.

Weaving through the action and ongoing dancing is tagger Graffiti Pete, a rubberjointed Asad Clifton.

Choreographer is Matt LaFontaine who has appeared onstage recently as the emcee in “Cabaret” and Berger in “Hair.”

The ladies in the hair salon next door — moving out because of high rent — make another colorful vignette with gossip, song and dance.

While there are some stressful moments, the general effect is joyous and warm. One loses track of the story on occasion with so much going on, but the production is just

In the end, Usnavi, who has been contemplating a return to the Dominican Republic with Abuela, proclaims “I’m home!”

`Beatles’ are back … sort of

Can it be done? Boulder’s Redstone Meadery certainly “can can.”

That why Redstone is canning three flavors of its carbonated “Nectar” in 500-milliliter (16.9-ounce) cans.

Redstone began shipping to national distributors earlier this month.

Redstone Meadery started making mead 12 years ago and is the nation’s second highest total producer on a volume basis, Redstone makes 16 flavors of mead and was the first to create a line of draft mead in kegs.

“We have seen the acceptance that craft beers in cans has received, and we wanted people to be able to take mead on camping trips, into venues, and to other places that prohibit glass bottles,” says David Myers, owner and founder of Redstone Meadery.

Three flavors — black raspberry Nectar, the apricot-flavored sunshine Nectar, and Nectar of the Hops — will be available nationally in 500ml cans.

More than a fashion statement Playing libero means a different jersey, skill set

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Merry Hammack is frequently asked why she wears a different colored jersey.

Hammack is a senior on the Ponderosa volleyball team, and a libero.

“Everyone in high school asks me because they have no idea,” said Hammack.

“Why are you not wearing a black uniform instead of a gold one? Then I have to go through and explain.”

Libero is a position that is not limited by rotation rules and can substitute freely.

That’s the main reason for the different jersey so the libero can be tracked.

The libero, or bro as it is sometimes called, is responsible for passing, ball control, digs and getting to every ball she can possibly retrieve. She can’t, however, attack and can serve once in every rotation.

“We have a black jersey and a cardinal jersey,” said Ponderosa coach Rob Graham. “The libero must have a contrasting

color. The way we present it is we give our libero a gold jersey. So we call it the gold badge of honor. When you are wearing this, everybody in the gym sees that gold badge back there and understands that we as a coaching staff say that is our best defender and passer. Only one person gets to wear the separate jersey and it’s a pretty big deal for coaches.”

Chaparral coach T.R. Ellis knows she needs a good athlete and leader to be the libero.

“What I tell my kids is the libero has to be tons better than any other defender on the court because she is going to get to play six rotations,” explained Ellis. “So she has to be substantially better because you want her controlling the ball. She needs to be someone who is quick on her feet, can make great decisions, can read where the attackers are going to hit the ball and get there.

“She has to be comfortable going for a ball outside of her body, stay on her feet if she can, but if she has to go to the floor, be comfortable playing the ball then hitting the floor and recovering on the floor.

She has to have great hands and she has to be able to put the ball up and be a great

passer as well. She’s the quarterback of the defense.”

Libero is an important position that often goes unnoticed except for the different colored jersey. The position was added to the game in the late 1990s to help create longer rallies.

“It’s a thankless position,” said Graham.

“It’s overlooked. If I was to make a team you might want to choose a big outside hitter as your No. 1 choice and maybe center right up there. With those players, you want a libero. Volleyball is definitely turning into a big person’s sport. The libero gives a home for somebody that is maybe undersized but has great speed and a great feel for the game.”

ARAPAHOE

Hammack, who is 5 feet 5, wishes more people would notice her play rather the odd jersey she wears.

“It’s really a bummer to see people noticing only the big hitters and the middles,” said Hammack. “We should get some recognition for all the hard work we put in.”

This season in the Continental League there will be several teams hoping to gain recognition.

Mountain Vista and Legend are two of the preseason favorites with Rock Canyon, Ponderosa and Chaparral expected to be contenders.

Lutheran, the defending Class 2A state champion, has only three starters back and will have to mature as the season progress.

Facing a split-second decision Goalkeepers must be quick of mind and body on penalty kicks

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcolorado news.com Penalty kicks have been labeled as a no-lose situation for soccer goalkeepers.

Shooters are expected to score, and the pressure is on them. If the keeper should make the save, he’s a hero.

“When I work with a goalkeeper I talk to them about watching any clues the shooter might give away like where they might look at the last second, where their plant foot is, if they open their hips or not,” said Legend coach Jordan Ivey. “Then I’ll talk to them about things they can do on the line that might throw the strike off a little. In the end though I tell them to go with their gut and go all out when they dive.”

There have been several studies made on penalty kicks.

One done at the 1998 World Cup, showed that on penalty kicks, including those in shootouts, 70 percent of the kicks went to the opposite side from the kicker’s dominate foot.

A 2011 report published in the Journal of Psychological Science found keepers dove to the right 71 percent of the time when their team

was losing and 48 percent when ahead and 49 percent when tied.

ESPN’s Sports Science claims saving a penalty kick is one of the toughest tasks in any sport and cites statistics that World Cup goalkeepers correctly picked the direction of penalty kicks 57 percent of the time but saved only 22 percent of the shots.

Legend senior goalie Eric Smith knows the chances of keepers stopping penalty kicks are not good.

“The odds are definitely stacked against us,” he said.

“You have four different corners to dive to and pray we pick the right one. Sometimes we get a little lucky.

Otherwise you don’t really have much of a chance.”

Smith has learned some tips to sway the odds a little in his favor.

“The first thing a lot of coaches actually teach you is to pick a side,” he said.

“And then as you get more experience, take penalty kicks in practice or you start to get experience in games or in shootouts, you learn to pick up tell-tale signs of what way a person is going to kick the ball.

“So I look at the shooter and see what way he is lining up, if he’s right footed or left footed, depending upon

Soccer Teams At a Glance ARAPAHOE

Coach - Mark Hampshire 2012 highlights - 5-1-1 in Centennial League, 12-4-1 overall, lost in second round of Class 5A state playoffs.

CHERRY CREEK

Coach - Marcelo Curi 2012 highlights - 3-2-2 in Centennial League , 116—2 overall, lost in Class 5A state semifinal game.

Top players - Jason Kagle, MF, Sr.; Cole Bildstein, D, Sr.; Christian Accame, GD, Sr.; Josh Alpert, MF, Fresh.

2013 outlook - Bruins face one of the toughest schedules in school history, having non-league matches against 2012 Missouri state champion Christian Brothers College School, defending Colorado state champion Boulder, plus perennial powers Fairview, Fort Collins, Pine Creek and Adams City.

Say what? — “This will be an interesting season to see how quickly players develop to meet the challenge of the Centennial League as well as the state tournament,” said Curi.

HERITAGE

Coach - Adam Buseck 2012 highlights - 9-1-1 in Continental League, 13-2-2 overall, lost in second round of Class 5A state playoffs.

Top players - Dalton Lundberg, CM, Jr.; Conrad d’Leeuwen, D, Sr.; Jacob Bruno, F, Sr.; Chase Breslaw, F, Jr.; Noah Breslaw, F, Frosh.

2013 outlook — The Eagles were one of the best teams in the state last year before being ousted from the playoffs by league rival Rock Canyon. Bruno is a dynamic attacking player, Lundberg is a strong passer and d’Leeuwen is a reliable defender.

Say what - “We are looking to build momentum from last year. In addition our JV team has not lost a game in two years, therefore the players are developing in our porgam and have a winning mentality,” said Buseck.

certain signals he’s giving me, his eyes or something I’ll pick a side to go to either high or low. Left high, I’ll pick that first, but when he runs at the ball if I see like his hips switch to the right side or see his approach differently, I’ll make a split second decision. But before he evens runs at the ball I’ll have a side picked if he doesn’t give me any other sign.”

Valor Christian senior goalie Connor Georgopulos, a four-year starter, acknowledges that stopping a shot from a shooter 12 yards in front of him is difficult.

“It is probably the hardest thing about being a goalkeeper,” said Georgopulos. “A lot people guess before the player even runs up to the ball. I don’t like to guess. I kind of wait until he runs up where he is opening his hips or where his foot is planted and make my decision that way. I have possibly a second to make a deci-

sion.

“I’ve heard that is a nolose situation but there are sometimes when you are close and you think you could have got there or you might have been able to get there. It still is a goal and you feel like you’ve lost but for the most part it is just luck so you really didn’t lose either way.”

Cherry Creek coach Chelo Curi believes keepers need to pay more attention to the shooters than relying on luck.

“Goalkeepers need to learn to recognize player movement in order to predict which way they are going to shoot a penalty kick,” said Curi. “They can also just flat-out guess one way or the other. However, there are certain clues toplevel keepers learn in order to make a better educated guess on which way to go.

Some goalkeepers are quite good at this skill while others are not.”

Doubles duty a secret of success Top program Cherry Creek knows importance of team play

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Cherry Creek has dominated Colorado boys high school tennis for the past four decades.

The explanation for the Bruins’ supremacy is simple - good doubles play.

Creek has won 38 Colorado state tennis championships in 41 years. The Bruins have crowned 117 state champion doubles teams, 28 in No. 1 doubles, 34 in No. 2 doubles, 31 in No. 3 doubles and 24 in No. 4 doubles.

“Doubles is interesting,” said Creek coach Kirk Price.

“High school-level tennis players generally love singles. There are those few boys that just thrive in doubles. They love it, love

the strategy and enjoy what goes on in winning a doubles match.”

Over the years, Price has adjusted the way he selects his doubles teams.

“Historically, I always used singles to determine the varsity team,” admitted Price. “Over the years there were half dozen great, great doubles players who never got to play varsity because they were never good enough in singles to break into the top 11 but they were among the top two or three doubles players on the team.

“A few years ago we changed. Now we use the singles challenges for only the singles positions. We use what we refer to as doubles clusters.”

It takes a different kind of player in doubles to be successful.

The duo were among those at the Aug. 13 Cherry Creek practice seeking to be one of the doubles teams on the Bruins varsity roster this season. Photo by Tom Munds “It takes kids that are able to evaluate their opponents and the weaknesses of their opponents,” said Price. “I’ve had kids that were mentally so good in doubles and yet physically are not even close at times to the skills of the opponents.

“They are not as good of tennis players with their strokes or tennis game but they are so much smarter and know how doubles works that they become state champions defeating people that are significantly better.”

Senior Jake Miller was half of the 2012 state champion No. 2 doubles team with Connor Petrou, who

has graduated.

“Doubles are fun but I really would like to play singles,” said Miller. “We won last year because we worked well together as a doubles team. Cherry Creek tennis philosophy is to be aggressive and we usually both moved up to take control of the net and the tempo of play. Of course, we both had to be ready to move back quickly if the opponent hit a deep shot.”

Harshil Dwivedi is a junior who played last season with graduated Gifford Mellick on Creek’s state champion No. 4 doubles team.

“Doubles pairings are very important in trying to catch those teams in the state of Colorado,” said Mountain Vista coach Jim Flanigan. “I believe that finding players who mesh well together is very important in doubles and that means in personality style as well as in playing style.

Europeans dominate in Colorado U.S. team loses Solheim Cup for first time on American soil

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com It was a historic day on Aug. 18 at Colorado Golf Club, but it didn’t involve a miracle on the greens.

Team Europe retained the Solheim Cup with an 18-10 victory over the United States and won for the first time in seven events played in America. The win marked the first time a team from Europe has won back-toback Cups and the margin of victory was the largest in the history of the event, which began in 1990.

The United States went into the final day staring at a substantial five-point deficit.

The Americans could not pull off a miracle comeback as the Europeans won 7½-4½ in the 12 singles matches played on Aug. 18.

There were five singles matches that were halved, the most in history.

“We took it to them and they couldn’t answer,” said Europe’s Suzann Pettersen who resides in Oslo, Norway.

Pettersen was right. Team Europe played superior golf and putted much better on the quick greens.

“They played some great golf this week and really deserved to win,” said U.S. captain Meg Mallon. “I give credit to them, they played well, had a hole-in-one (Anna

Nordqvist on Aug. 17), a chip-in and we just didn’t have putts drop for us. The team gave it their all. I love my team.

“This (Solheim Cup) is the greatest show in women’s golf. The way we played 16, 17, and 18 is what made the difference. It wasn’t for the lack of preparation because we played the golf course quite a bit. So it wasn’t like a surprise for us. It was just a matter of dropping putts on those holes

and unfortunately it was the Europeans.”

Over the last three holes, the Europeans held a 17-10 edge in holes won.

“We just did not make the putts,” added Mallon. “I saw more putts go over the hole on our side. It wasn’t for lack of not having good rolls. We just didn’t make them. With such a young team (six European Solheim rookies) with nothing to lose, it just seemed like they were a bit looser, they were mak-

ing more putts and we were not. And that’s what it came down to.”

The Europeans wrapped up their second consecutive Cup victory on the 18th hole in the fifth singles match when Caroline Hedwall, a captain’s pick from Sweden who won a crucial half point to secure Team Europe’s victory over the United States two years ago in Ireland, once again delivered the clinching blow. She defeated Michelle Wie, 1 up, after coming back from a 56-minute lightning delay, with a 4½-foot birdie on the final hole.

There were still seven matches left to be completed and all the Americans could do was play for pride.

“I just can’t tell you how proud I am of all the players,” said European captain Liselotte Neuman. “They really played well.

They just played tremendous golf.”

Hedwall won all five of the matches she played becoming the first player in Solheim Cup to do so in a single tournament.

“I don’t know what to say,” said Hedwall, 24. “It’s unbelievable. We knew we could win here. I was really pumped up on 17 when they blew the horn (for the lightning delay). I went in and gave a little talk to myself and I went out there and I was just as pumped up as I was before.”

Stacy Lewis and Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist had the honors as the first twosome to tee off and wound up halving an up-anddown match.

“I was hitting good putts, they were just lipping out,” said Lewis. “That’s golf for you.

You have to stay patient, stay positive.

I hit a lot of really good shots. I felt fortunate to get a halve.”

Charley Hull, the 17-year-old from Kettering, England, who is the youngest player in Solheim Cup history, picked up a point for Team Europe with a 5-and-4 win over Paula Creamer.

“After the first day, I really got used to the golf course and I just relaxed and made quite a few birdies over the last two days,” said Hull who went 2-10 in her Solheim debut. “I really didn’t feel nervous. Because this is how I always look at golf, I’m not going to die if I miss it. Just hit it and find it and hit it again.”

Creamer, one of America’s top players, didn’t have much positive to say.

“I just didn’t bring it,” she admitted.

“The Solheim Cup brings the best and worst out of you.”

Europe’s Carlota Ciganda whipped Morgan Pressel, 4 and 2, to set the stage for Hedwall’s decisive win.

Team USA trailed the Europeans the entire three days of the competition, falling behind 5-3 after Foursomes and Four-ball on the opening day. The Americans closed to within

Caroline Hedwall pumps her fist after sinking a winning put on the 18th green. Hedwall, defeated American Michelle Wie in the Singles Match Aug. 18 at the 2013 Solheim Cup held in Parker.

6½-5½ after the Foursomes Aug. 17, but disaster struck when the Europeans swept all four best-ball matches in the afternoon.

The U.S. played well at times but not good enough. The Europeans made most of the big shots and big putts. The Americans had myriad putts roll inches past the cup or lip out.

“Obviously, yesterday (Aug. 17) afternoon hurt us a lot,” said Lewis.

“They holed putts when they needed to and hit the shots. There’s always

pressure to win, whether we won it two years ago, whether we didn’t, whether we’re home, whether we are away. They’re (Europeans) getting better every year and they’re making this (Solheim Cup) what it should be. It’s good for the event.”

The U.S. still leads the Solheim Cup all-time standings, 8-5, with the 2015 Solheim Cup scheduled to be played in St. Leon-Rot, Germany.

“We have two years to get ready for Germany and we’re going to get that Cup back,” said Wie.
