L.L. Bean opens to warm welcome Lone Tree store’s debut draws more than 500 for grand opening By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Teri Robinson set up camp in front of L.L. Bean at 6:45 p.m. Nov. 20, slept outside and waited more than 14 hours to be first in line for the Park Meadows’ store’s 9 a.m. Nov. 21 grand opening. All in the hope of winning one of five $500 gift cards. “It would help pay for Christmas presents,” said Robinson, an Aurora resident who’s on permanent disability. Robinson drew a $10 gift card. She grimaced, but then smiled and shrugged. “It was entertaining,” she said of her night on the sidewalk, which she spent in a sleeping bag on a foam mat. “It was better than staying home. I slept well until reporters woke me up at 5:30 a.m.” Robinson was the first of more than 500 people who lined up for the opening of the Maine-based outdoor clothing and equipment company’s westernmost store. The Lone Tree site is L.L. Bean’s 22nd retail store in the United States, and a location company board chairman Shawn Gorman said is ideal. “With a population that embraces the outdoors, I can’t think of a better place or a better fit for us,” Gorman said. “ Gorman is the great-grandson of company founder Leon Leonwood Bean, an avid outdoorsman who founded the company in 1912 with the Maine hunting boot he designed. The family-owned business recorded sales of more than $1.56 billion in 2013. “The values of our founder are still consistent,” Gorman said. “We don’t answer to Wall Street. We answer to Casco Street, where our office is. “We’re a company that loves the outdoors but also does everything to install that love in its customers.” The long line of waiting Lone Tree customers, many of whom wore L.L. Bean jackets, suggested the company had succeeded with them. The first 200 people in line drew gift cards ranging from $10 to $500. MJ Schloff and Leslie Jones, both of Littleton, were among the lucky five who L.L. Bean continues on Page 17
The Colorado Association of School Boards’ director successfully appealed to the Douglas County School Board to rejoin his organization. The board voted 5-2 during its Nov. 18 meeting to renew membership with CASB, a relationship it severed in 2010. Board members then said DCSD’s inhouse staff already provided the services offered by CASB, without the $23,000 membership fee. But several said they now believe CASB can help Douglas County with school financing and other issues that likely will be debated during the next Colorado legislative session. “I think the benefits of membership could be summarized (in the words) of Benjamin Franklin: ‘If we don’t hang together, we’ll hang separately’,” said board member Craig Richardson, citing concerns about state education funding. Board members Judi Reynolds and Meghann Silverthorn voted against the idea, saying they’re not certain CASB membership will benefit the district. Reynolds’ and Silverthorn’s hesitation, initially expressed during the board’s Oct. 21 meeting, prompted the board to invite CASB director Ken DeLay to the November meeting. DeLay said he sees mutual benefit to DCSD rejoining the association, noting that the two entities are working toward common goals that including waivers from some state requirements. DeLay also said that other member districts could benefit from learning about Douglas County’s education initiatives. DCSD continues on Page 17

City approves senior living plan MorningStar to fill niche for some Lone Tree residents By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Bill and Judy Robertson already were seniors when they moved to Lone Tree 15 years ago, but the Heritage Hills couple feels this is home. “It’s just a nice little town,” said Bill Robertson, 86, who has served on boards with the city, Heritage Hills homeowners association and the Park Meadows Metro District Board. “We have shopping, a hospital and everything close by. It’s a great location. It’s well run, and I have a lot of friends here.” Their love of the city is so deep, they intend to stay here as long as possible. The planned MorningStar senior living community, which will be built less than a mile from their current home, will enable them to do just that. The city council approved a site improvement plan for the project during its Nov. 18 meeting, after hearing support for MorningStar from Bill Robertson and other residents. Bill Robertson told the council he recently toured three senior living complexes in the south suburban area: All were nice, some were expensive, and most importantly, none was in Lone Tree. “Lone Tree needs a development like it,” Robertson said. “We like everything about it. It’s right across the street from the Lone Tree Arts Center; it’ll be right across from the library. And they have a good reputation.” The floor plans also featured large closets, Robertson noted. “That’s important for my wife, who needs to find room for more than 85 pairs of shoes,” he said. The 224-unit senior living facility is planned on a five-acre lot on RidgeGate Parkway east of the Lone Tree Arts Center. The new Lone Tree Library is proposed on the lot next to it. It will include 124 independent living, 71 assisted living and 29 memory care units. MorningStar describes it as a project with elements found in luxury resorts, including a swimming pool, hot tub, massage room, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a bar, ex-

At some points, the building will rise to five stories, but architects took care to step back the taller areas from the street to reduce building mass and better blend with neighboring developments, according to a staff report on the project. The building’s architecture will represent a mix of traditional and contemporary styles in earth tones, with accents of orange, yellow and red. Vertical elements like brick and stucco, strategic window orientation and architectural embellishments will further break up the horizontal building form. Because the building is visible from all sides, a “360-degree
architectural treatment” is intended to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance from any angle. Councilmembers liked what they saw. “I commend them on the exterior architecture,” said Susan Squyer. “It blends in so well with the RidgeGate community. They were very considerate of the whole juxtaposition of the building to the arts center and residents to the south. “I think we’re all excited to be able to offer a retirement option for people.” Since September 2013, MorningStar has held six community meetings with RidgeGate residents and members of Lone Tree’s Living and Aging Well seniors’ group. Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet said she couldn’t recall ever
before seeing such an extensive effort at community outreach. “The fact that they cared enough to do it, and keeping neighbors and the larger community interest in mind, really speaks well to the company itself,” she said. “I really appreciate the accommodations that were made in height and landscaping, the thoughtful consideration of where they were going to be located.” MorningStar Senior Living aims to begin construction yet this year, moving its first residents in sometime in 2016. The company operates senior living centers in Centennial, Denver, Jefferson County, Parker and Colorado Springs, among other communities.

City OKs land donation for library Proximity to arts center could create site for fests, events By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lone Tree’s planned new library moved a step closer to reality Nov. 18 when the city council approved an agreement to transfer land for the project to Douglas County Libraries. The nearly 2.4-acre site east of the Lone Tree Arts Center at Commons Street and Sky Ridge Avenue will have room for a library more than twice the size of the current 10,000-square-foot Lone Tree Parkway building. RidgeGate developer Coventry Development is donating the parcel, valued at $1.4 million. Douglas County Libraries is building three new libraries at a total cost of about
$34 million in the next 18 months. The Parker and Castle Pines branches likely will open before Lone Tree’s, which is set for an early- to mid-2016 debut. What sets Lone Tree’s library apart from the other two is its location near the community’s biggest cultural draw and the planned MorningStar senior housing community. The convergence of those buildings and uses could bring a town-square feel to the area that would make it a natural site for festivals and other community gatherings. Discussion about how to use the space already has begun, library director Bob Pasicznyuk said. “We’ve been working with the city and the other players — the arts center and MorningStar — to say, `How can we work together to form an entire area of that space?’,” he said. “Can you close it down so if you had the Taste of Lone Tree or a farmers market, is there room for food trucks? Where would people sit? Where
would they get shade? We’re one piece of the pie in making that whole thing work. “That would be different from the other two buildings entirely.” To enhance that community feel, MorningStar altered its building designs to include an outdoor patio and seating area on the northwest side. “Having all three located right near each other really creates a nice synergy for events,” said Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet. “It is exciting to think what it could be. It would be a big focal point in the community.” Those ideas will come into sharper focus as the talks continue. The library land won’t go directly to Douglas County Libraries. It will be conveyed to the city of Lone Tree after required site approvals are complete; the city will turn it over to the library district by April 1, 2015. Construction on the building will start by March 31, 2016, according to the agreement. The agreement approved by the coun-
cil lays out the city’s purchase of the current Lone Tree library building. The city plans to convert the building into a community center with limited library services for at least two years after the new library opens. The Lone Tree Parkway library building is valued at $1.25 million, according to the agreement, but the city will buy it for $800,000. It also requires Rampart Range Metropolitan District, which serves RidgeGate, to build streets and related improvements to serve the new library. The city will build a new road just east of the library that will be called Town Ridge Drive. All three new libraries, which will replace popular buildings too small to meet increasing demand, will be two stories tall with designs that include family space, quiet study areas, flexible meeting rooms and expanded collections. The Lone Tree Library opened in 1998.

Kids experience sumo-sized science Assembly meant to engage middle school students By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com What does it take to get middle school students interested in physics? Staging a clash between teachers in sumo suits is a good start. Cimarron Middle School in Parker got a visit from “FMA Live!” during its “Forces in Motion” tour, a series of performances meant to inspire teens to pursue a career in science, technology and math. Sponsored by NASA and Honeywell, the Nov. 14 assembly combined hip-hop music about concepts like inertia, video clips of an Isaac Newton impersonator interviewing people on a public street, and student participation to convey the basic principles of physics. When “FMA Live!” actors spun a Velcro wall to face the audience, student Wyatt Bevill was hanging sideways from it. He and student Jimmy Dean then took turns launching from a springboard during a lesson about Newton’s First Law of Motion. The assembly also put faculty members in the thick of the action. Principal Chris Zimmerman and health teacher Beau Davies dressed in sumo suits and slammed into each other to demonstrate the idea that force equals mass times acceleration (the equation for which “FMA Live!” is named). “The kids, every single one of them, when I looked at their faces, they were engaged in it,” Zimmerman said. In an attempt to represent Newton’s Third Law of Motion that states “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,” as-

Two teams of Cimarron students flung rubber balls from a slingshot and tried to hit a target that would dump the contents of a vat above Corlett’s head. When one ball hit its mark, she was doused in applesauce, to the delight of nearly 500 seventh-graders. To Corlett, the mess was worth it. She says it’s important to make education fun. “With the 21st Century learners that we

have, they are poised to really run our world, but they need excitement in their learning to carry them through,” she said. “Middle school is a perfect time to get kids interested in science, technology and math because they get choices in high school, and then in college and their career.” The scenes were repeated twice more that day for the school’s sixth- and eighth-graders. Earlier in the week, “FMA Live!” also stopped
by Cresthill Middle School in Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock Middle School. The assembly took a year of planning because of all of the logistics involved. A massive stage was set up in the gymnasium and lights and speakers added to the energetic atmosphere. “We wanted this to be a great experience that the kids will always remember, and it looks like it was,” Corlett said.

Giving is a blessing to be thankful for For many people, there is a ton of activity and action going on during Thanksgiving Day. Some families and neighbors gather to play football in the park or the street while others settle in for some action-packed football on TV. Others find action in gathering together to help serve and feed others through homeless shelters and other organizations. And anyone who has ever collected food, prepared food, served food, or washed dishes and scrubbed pots and pans for those less fortunate will tell you that there is plenty of activity and action taking place. I may not be the best person to cook or prepare the meals, but I am one heck of a pots and pans scrubber. To give thanks, a verb and a call to action are neatly tied up in this wonderful holiday. And if we are blessed enough to be able to share our gratitude and appreciation with those we love and with those who may be experiencing a difficult time in their lives right now, we are called to action, called to act upon Thanksgiving. Now I have met and heard from people who have the very best of intentions to do something bigger with their time and their lives. And that feeling swells each year as the holidays approach. Yet when I meet them again during or maybe even after the New Year and ask how their “giving” and Thanksgiving season went, I hear a mixed response. Some are eager to share their victories of contribu-
tion and the elation they experienced, while others fall back on the excuses such as a lack of time or something else came up. Is it a lack of time? Did something else really come up? Or is it just a lack of commitment in connecting what we desire to do most in our hearts with the justification of what is happening in our heads? You see, if we have been blessed enough to help and give when we can, shouldn’t we? Think of it this way, it’s kind of like the person who builds a home gym so that they will get committed to a workout routine but ends up with a collection of weights and machines that collect dust. Or the person that says they want to learn a foreign language and buys Rosetta Stone only to leave the box on a shelf or in a closet. It’s not the gym equipment or cool teaching technology that failed us, it is our lack of commitment to taking the action that prevented us from reaching our goals. And one of the best parts of
Thanksgiving is in its inherent call to action. I have heard so many stories from people who always wanted to “give” or do something more in their lives and found that Thanksgiving was an awesome day to place their “giving” stake in the ground and begin following their heart. For those who read this column regularly, I know that this next statement will sound like a broken record, but here it goes. As much as we help others by giving, giving of time, talents, resources, money, hugs, and prayers, the person who experiences the greatest joy is not the person receiving what is given, rather it is the person that is doing the giving that in turn receives the most joy. Happy Thanksgiving, a verb and a call to action. How about you, is Thanksgiving a launching point for you to give back in some way to our community? Or have you already been a compassionate and consistent giver of thanks? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we take up that call to action, it really will be a better than good week, holiday season, year, and life. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
Abstract art can offer a workout If you have to see a picture of a man screaming on a bridge, you have to see a picture of a man screaming on a bridge. Edvard Munch will take care of you. If you have to see a vibrant red and coral-colored flower, blown up and covering the entire canvas, well, that’s what you have to see. Georgia O’Keeffe will take care of you. But what if there is no screaming man or vibrantly colored flower? What if there is nothing more than a big area of color? With nothing recognizable anywhere? Are you lost? Disinterested? Many are, even though abstract art has been around for more than a hundred years. I have watched viewers walk past abstract paintings lickety-split. I have an idea, in the form of a comparison. Who doesn’t like a little Mozart now and then? Or Dave Brubeck? Or even a Jimmy Page solo? What do they all have in common? The music is wordless. As a listener, it’s up to you to create
images in your imagination. Or better still, to simply listen without trying to read any imagery into the music. I realize that there are contrary examples: It’s impossible to listen to the “Grand Canyon Suite” and not visualize pack mules. I am an Abstract Expressionist, and the illegitimate son of the very first Abstract Expressionist, Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky was as brave as the first man to eat a dried lizard or lutefisk. The Abstract Expressionists who were painting in America in the ‘40s and ‘50s shifted the focus of the art world for the
first time from Western Europe to the United States. I am not going to try to convert anyone. If you have to see clouds or trees or galloping sheep in a painting, or else, that may never change. We tend to want something to hold on to, and complete abstractions don’t do it for many people. But if you put a bunch of water lilies in there, everything is just fine. Monet’s beautiful “Water Lilies” series is a great introduction to abstract art. You can’t do any better than Monet. And that includes van Gogh, a contemporary of Monet’s. Van Gogh gets more press, but Monet was a better artist. He just didn’t cut off his ear, and become mythic. There is a “Water Lilies” room, an entire room, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. I have gone to New York with no other aspiration — except to have a corned beef sandwich and a kosher pickle at the Marshall continues on Page 9

Social Security crucial in retirement planning This year, more than 59 million Americans will receive Social Security benefits of almost $863 billion. By 2033, older Americans will increase to 77 million. If there are no changes to the Social Security system before then, the average benefit payable will be 77 percent of the full amount. This is clearly stated on every Social Security statement, even though you may now need to go online to view your statement at www.ssa.gov. These facts will make retirement planning more challenging in the future. Currently, anyone approaching Social Security age should research and plan for the best possible lifetime benefit. Do not assume that collecting at a certain age is the only option you have. There are ways you can combine benefits with a spouse, whether divorced or married and as a survivor, to perhaps collect more than your own benefit. For single wage earners, who were never married, the best way to increase your Social Security benefit is to work longer or delay when you collect. The earliest age you are eligible, if you have at least 40 quarters or 10 years of paying into the Social Security system, is 62. Your benefit will

You will see colors, brush strokes, subtle transitions of blue to blue-green to green. And you will be in the land of Abstract Expressionism. What do you see when you listen to “Take Five” by Dave Brubeck? I don’t see anything. But I sense a number of things. Melody, pacing, rhythm, repetition, a blues-scale, and quintuple time.

increase by 8 percent for every year you delay taking benefits up to age 70. If your life expectancy is greater than age 80, this may yield you more lifetime benefits than collecting at a younger age. Married couples have several ways to optimize their benefits. The two most common are file and suspend, or file a restricted application. To file and suspend, the higher wage earner files at full retirement age and suspends his or her payment until a later date, ideally age 70. This allows for the Delayed Retirement Credits (DRC) of 8 percent per year to start accruing. This also allows the spouse to receive benefits up to 50 percent of the worker’s full retirement age benefit.
The spouse may also file a restricted application, requesting to collect only under the spousal benefit for several years, hence receiving Delayed Retirement Credits up to age 70. At that time the spouse can “switch” to his or her own benefit that has increased to the maximum level. Using these scenarios, a married couple can increase their lifetime benefits by almost $400,000, depending on their incomes and life expectancies. A divorced person who is unmarried can also apply for spousal benefits on an ex-spouse’s record if the couple had been married for 10 years or longer. There are opportunities to file a restricted application and received DRC in this situation as well. A widow or widower is entitled to survivor benefits on either their own record or their deceased spouse’s record, whichever is greater. This is why it is important to have at least one wage earner delay benefits to create a larger survivor benefit as well as a higher lifetime combined benefit. It is important to explore these different options to help define what your retirement income will be and how much you

All I know is that “Take Five” makes it inside. It is an irreplaceable few minutes of my life, and I can’t thank Brubeck enough. Some abstract artists are understandably difficult. Maybe Jackson Pollock is the most difficult abstract artist ever, at least among those who have been acclaimed. “My child could do that.” Not really, or if your child can do that on a huge stretched canvas, with a grasp of composition, variety, cohesion, and accountability, and have it appreciated, it’s because Pollock did those things first. He gave viewers something other than the enigma of a woman with a wry smile (“Mona Lisa”) to think about. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

A robot built above the pecking order Local robotics team to compete at regional competition in Arkansas
HOW TO HELP The Highlands Ranch STEM School and Academy BEST robotics team needs more than $9,000.00 to pay for their travel, hotel and food expenses for their trip to Arkansas to compete in the regional competition. Tax deductible donations can be made on the team’s website, www.stembestrobotics.com Marriott points also are being accepted. For more information, contact the team at stembest@gmail.com.
By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Highlands Ranch STEM School and Academy BEST robotics team has been focusing on transporting prairie chickens for the past couple of months. BEST, which stands for Boosting Engineering Science and Technology, is a six-week robotics competition held each fall. The competition offers two main elements. The first is a headto-head robot competition, and the second is the BEST award competition, in which teams must complete the tasks of creating an exhibit that displays information about the team, a marketing presentation and an engineering notebook. “They get a box of parts and a set of rules,” said Ron Coffee, one of the robotics team’s coaches, “and the kids have to figure out what to do. It’s real-world experience for them.” At the Rocky Mountain BEST hub competition earlier this year, the team finished third in the robot portion, and won the BEST award for the fourth consecutive year. By winning the BEST award, the team earned their spot to be one of four from Colorado that will compete at the regional competition in Forth Smith, Ark., on Dec. 5 and 6. The Highlands Ranch team competed against about 35 teams at the Rocky Mountain
Highlands Ranch STEM School and Academy BEST robotics teammembers Charlie Nims, left, and Bailey Moran, control last year’s robot, which was used this year as a claw game for which people purchased tickets to play. This robot was part of the Nov. 17 open house that the team hosted to help fund their trip to Arkansas for the BEST regional competition.
BEST hub competition. This year, the goals of the robot-building aspect were to transport parts for a wind farm and assemble two wind turbines. Therefore, the team created their robot based on Operation Prairie Chicken: Top of the Pecking Order. Basically, the robot has the ability to pick up and transport prairie chickens, which are represented by PVC tubes, said the team’s engineering lead, Robert Belter. “The team devised a very strong robot, and the exhibit was considered to be first class by one of the judges,” said Joel Kirkland, the team’s head coach and a system engineer at Lockheed Martin. In addition, the Highlands Ranch team has an advantage because they have access to a “wonderful facility” at the STEM school where they can work on their project, Coffee said. The team consists of 23 students, both STEM and students from other programs. Student team leaders include Belter; Zach Coffee, marketing director; Dakotah Mann, program manager; Charlie Nims, presentation lead; and Licia Lamb, manufacturing director. Zach Coffee said he enjoys being involved with the robotics team because he is “super competitive.” “It’s nice to be able to channel that into something that has a lot of weight,” he said. Rocky Mountain BEST’s mission statement is “to engage, excite and inspire students to pursue careers in engineering, science and technology through participation in a sports-like science and engineering-based robotics competition.” “BEST is a really good program,” Ron Coffee said. “It is provided at no cost to the school.” However, the only thing that BEST supplies is the kits for making the robots. It does not cover expenses, including materials, relating to other aspects of the competition. The team must raise the money through fundraising efforts. Mel Coffee, a retired law practitioner and adjunct professor, put up a challenge grant and matched the students’ funds. He said it’s important to educate all people, and not just focus on the brightest students. “Tomorrow, they’re not going to be children,” he said, “they’re going to be the men and women leading our countries.”

Photos by Christy Steadman Mel Coffee invests in the robotics team because it is a good example of how everyone can work together, he said, and added that the students learn everything from teamwork and presentation to finances and marketing. The students have six weeks to build their robot, exhibit, come up with their marketing presentation and complete their engineering notebook. “It’s a ton of work and effort,” Zach Coffee said, but it’s all worth it to “put it on the line and compete with it.” The students are dedicated, Ron Coffee said. They meet after school and on Saturdays to allow them to work on their project three days a week, which averages to be 15 to 20 hours a week. The students in BEST are very talented kids, Kirkland said. “They will develop the skills of the future’s leaders.”

New libraries designed to appeal to all users Parker Library to open in February 2016 By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com When Bob Pasicznyuk reviewed the factors driving an ambitious plan to put Douglas County’s libraries in position for the next two decades, something jumped out at him. “This county’s thirst for physical books,” said Pasicznyuk, who took over as director of Douglas County Libraries in May. He describes the numbers as “astronomical,” then offers inarguable proof. Colorado districts with similar population densities and the same number of cities, like the Rangeview Library District and Brighton Library District, record an average of 4.5 million transactions per year, on par with national averages. Douglas County’s facilities notch 8.5 million, he said. The staggering statistics are hard to ignore, and that’s why Douglas County Libraries is paying close attention these days. The district is not only opening new facilities in Parker, Lone Tree and Castle Pines by mid-2016, it is embarking on a full review of its other facilities in Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, Louviers and Roxborough. Everything is on the table to “meet the needs for the next generation,” Pasicznyuk said.
Mixing it up
Physical books are, of course, just one piece to consider. The reasons behind the continuing popularity of local libraries can be traced to diverse tastes. Library users consume material in a variety of ways; Pasicznyuk likened the idea to regularly using a Blu-Ray player, streaming films via an online rental service and going out to the movies, instead of sticking with just one way of watching films. With that in mind, Douglas County Libraries had to determine “what a library looks like now instead of 1990,” the director said. But rather than scaling back as some districts have done, Douglas County Libraries is expanding its footprints and taking a hard look at layouts that provide an experience for every type of user.
A conceptual rendering shows what the new Parker Library will look like after it opens in early 2016 in downtown Parker. Courtesy image Mixed demographics present a challenge because each visitor expects something different, Pasicznyuk said. So, staffers took notice and submitted their own ideas on how to accommodate everyone. For example, Parker’s branch manager, Amy Long, noticed that about half of the people who frequented one area of the library weren’t being fully served: parents who brought their little ones to the children’s section. To fill that gap, the first floor of the new Parker Library is being built as a family zone, serving not only preschoolers, elementary school kids and tweens, but adults who will have access to a coffee shop-like atmosphere with integrated seating and power outlets for tablets and laptops. “We wanted to make that space lively,” Pasicznyuk said. The second floor will be more subdued and designed as a “classic library with a twist,” he said. There will be shelves filled with books, but they will be displayed in a more visuallypleasing manner, blending with a comfortable den with a fireplace. Outdoor terraces
with seating will also allow library users to read a book or study while enjoying Colorado’s good weather.
Room to breathe
All three of the new libraries were designed as two-story buildings to provide separation, something that wasn’t possible before. They also will have a drive-up lane to drop off materials rather than requiring users to take up a parking spot and get out of their car. Parking, in particular, has long been an issue at the Parker Library, a former bowling alley in the Crossroads Shopping Center on the northwest corner of South Parker Road and Mainstreet. There are now about 50 spaces and the new facility will have 150. The new library will also be nearly twice as big — it’s going from 22,000 square-feet to 43,000 square-feet — and have more windows to let in natural light. Mayor Mike Waid said the Town of Parker encouraged the library district to come up with a design that leaves behind the old-fashioned, boxy libraries of yesterday.
“I believe it’s going to be a unique, keystone element that’s really going to define that end of the downtown district,” Waid said. The Town of Parker spent $2 million to purchase the nine acres on which the library will be built on the northwest corner of Mainstreet and Pine Drive, across from town hall. The town will lease the land to the library district. Construction will begin in the first quarter of 2015. The library will be paired with a public park with a “sprinkle garden” plaza and ice river for ice skating, as well as a possible retail shop, Waid said. Coventry Development, the builders of RidgeGate, donated land near the Lone Tree Arts Center for a 26,000 square-foot library, and the city is turning the existing 10,000 square-foot building into a community center. The Castle Pines Library is moving from a 2,000 square-foot space in a strip mall to a freestanding, 16,000 square-foot building. It will be the first to open in November 2015. The Parker Library will open in February 2016 and Lone Tree will follow in April 2016.

Broken hip doesn’t keep seniors from vows Parker couple ties the knot in hospital room By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com If wild horses couldn’t drag him away, a broken hip surely wouldn’t stop Wilfred Stallan. His whirlwind romance with Parker resident Shirley Golden was capped with a kiss during the couple’s Nov. 2 wedding ceremony, which took place in a room at Parker Adventist Hospital. It was an entirely different location than originally planned, but that was OK with the beautiful bride. Like many relationships these days, Golden and Stallan’s courtship began online. What makes them unique, however, is that Stallan is 83 years old and Golden is 76. They got in touch last April on OurTime, a website that connects older adults who share similar interests. Golden was initially looking for a friend, but she and Stallan quickly fell in love. Six weeks ago, he proposed over the phone because “he couldn’t wait,” Golden said. “He was telling me how much he loved me and just said `I want to get married,’” she said. “Well I said, `you haven’t asked me yet.’ And so he asked and I said, `of course!’” It wasn’t exactly the old-fashioned way of doing things, but as Golden explains it, their age doesn’t allow them time
to wait on these kinds of decisions. Stallan moved from Westminster and in with Golden, who lives with her adult daughter and her family. The couple, both widowed, decided to get married at the Parker Senior Center, but one day before the wedding, Stallan lost his balance in the yard and fell. He was transported to Parker Adventist, where an X-ray showed that his hip was broken. Golden assumed the ceremony would be postponed, but Stallan wouldn’t hear of it. “He was bound and determined that he was going to get married before surgery,” the bride said. The hospital gave the green light on having the wedding there and she called the minster to inform him of the change of plans. Golden’s son gave her away, and her best friend of 66 years was her matron of honor. The groom’s longtime buddy stood as his best man while Stallan lay in the hospital bed, holding hands with Golden. “It was really very nice. We had the cake brought over here and we had my family and his family there,” said Golden, who told the story over the phone during a short break from staying at her husband’s bedside. She never pictured herself marrying again, let alone in a hospital, but as the online love connection and sudden accident proved, things don’t always go as planned. Stallan’s surgery was scheduled for 3 p.m. Nov. 2, just after the ceremony, but a “tiny piece of cake” postponed it until 7 that night. He will spend three weeks at a rehabilitation center before moving into an apartment in Parker with his wife.

C-470 financing plan almost done
Livia Liggett, the sister of Ari Liggett, a man who will serve a life sentence for the murder of his mother, issues a statement to the press after her brother’s sentencing hearing on Nov. 14. “My brother is definitely guilty,” she said, and added that despite his struggles with mental illness, he was “definitely sane.” Photo by Christy Steadman
State’s transportation commission to make final funding call Staff report Colorado’s High Performance Transportation Enterprise board of directors has recommended that the C-470 expansion project — to add lanes between I-25 and Kipling in both directions — be a publicly funded, design-build project. The board’s recommendation, made on Nov. 19, now moves on to the state’s transportation commission for consideration. “HPTE completed an analysis on how to finance and deliver the C-470 project, including both a public-private partnership (P3) and design-build public funding approach,” HPTE board chairman Tim Gagen said in a news release. “Our analysis shows that due to the limited size and scope of the C-470 project, the state does not appear to receive any additional value in using a P3. … (The) public funding delivery model provide(s) the best value for taxpayers on this project.” The C-470 tolled express lanes project is being done to address safety improvements, severe congestion and prepare for future growth in the corridor. The project will add tolled express lanes in each direction and rebuild various onramps along C-470 between I-25 westward to approximately Kipling Parkway. The tolled express lanes will be priced to provide a reliable travel time and will be in addition to the existing four general-purpose lanes that will require no user fees. The state’s transportation commission charged HPTE to explore financing and delivery options that included public-private partnership and design-build public funding for the C-470 project. HPTE’s
Man sentenced to life for mom’s murder Ari Liggett `knew right from wrong,’ district attorney says By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Livia Liggett said her brother was definitely guilty. Definitely sane — but definitely extremely mentally ill. Ari Misha Liggett, 26, was sentenced Nov. 14 to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 2012 murder of his mother. “I don’t think anybody could ever Liggett imagine that their own family member would be capable of such a thing,” Livia Liggett said. “There were times when I was worried, when my mom was very worried, but I never thought that he would be capable of committing a crime like
financial analysis is applied on a case-by-case basis to key Colorado projects with a significant funding gap, and where there are opportunities to accelerate project timelines, get more value for taxpayer dollars, and possibly include longterm maintenance obligations. The C-470 project is estimated to cost $230 million. CDOT has identified $112 million in local, state and federal funding, leaving a funding gap of $118 million to be funded by toll revenue bonds and other sources. HPTE will issue the toll revenue bonds, and all future toll revenues will be allocated to maintenance and improvements to the C-470 corridor. “We appreciate the collaboration and level of engagement that CDOT and HPTE conducted with stakeholders as part of their analysis on this project, which is so important to the vitality of the local area and the metro region,” said Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon, who chairs the C-470 Corridor Coalition’s Policy Committee. As part of the analysis, CDOT and the HPTE conducted telephone town halls and town hall meetings in various communities in the C-470 corridor in August and September. Project fact sheets, handouts and answers to frequently asked questions from those community events can be accessed at www.coloradohpte.com. Preliminary schedules have construction for the C-470 improvements beginning in the summer of 2016, with construction mostly complete by December 2017. The HPTE operates as a government-owned, independent business within CDOT. It searches out innovative ways to finance projects to help Colorado fulfill its commitment to increase travel choices through options that include express lanes, transit, biking, walking and carpooling.
this.” Ari Liggett, of Centennial, was arrested Oct. 17, 2012, after law enforcement found the dismembered corpse of Beverly Liggett, 56, in the back of his gold Honda CRV. Autopsy reports reveal that Beverly Liggett died of cyanide poisoning. He told police he did not kill his mother, but did hope to hide the body so he could use her credit cards, calling on “two friends from jail to help get rid of the problem,” police reports state. Ari Liggett believed if no one knew his mother was dead, he could spend her money, investigators say. Livia Liggett said she observed symptoms of her brother’s mental illness getting worse in September 2012. She said certain behaviors, like standing and staring at a wall for hours, occurred regardless of whether he was on his medication. “For as long as I can remember, my family has moved heaven and earth to try and get him help,” she said. But nothing helped Ari, she testified Oct. 29.
Although evidence proved the instability of Liggett’s mental condition, a court-ordered competency exam conducted in February 2013 deemed Liggett competent to stand trial. At sentencing, the prosecution told the judge that Liggett “knew right from wrong,” specifically evident in his efforts to conceal the crime. “Ari Liggett knew right from wrong and he chose wrong. This jury found justice for the family and friends of Beverly Liggett,” District Attorney George Brauchler said after the sentencing. “His decision to end his mother’s life has now deprived him of freedom for the duration of his own.” A jury found Ari Liggett guilty of first-degree murder after deliberation on Nov. 10, after a trial that lasted nearly three weeks. “This particular case was nothing short of a tragedy, all the way around,” said 18th Judicial District Judge Michelle Amico, who handed down the sentence. “The stress and strain of dealing with a family member with mental illness took its toll on this family.”

Planned charter school loses hoped-for site John Adams now plans for 2016 opening, resumes location search By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com John Adams High School is going back to the drawing board in its search for a site. An effort to buy the former Denver Christian School campus in Highlands Ranch was not successful.
DCSD Continued from Page 1
“I think, for example, some of the work this district has done in areas of teacher compensation are things that could be shared at a conference,” DeLay said. He also mentioned the association’s support of DCSD in its voucher lawsuit, set for oral arguments Dec. 10 in the state’s highest court. “We have not completely forgotten about you over the years,” DeLay said. “We did weigh in on your case that’s pending before the Col-

drew a $500 card. Schloff cried when she saw the amount. Jones screamed, then grabbed LL Bean’s vice president of stores Greg Elder up in a hug. Schloff planned to start her retail excursion with some LL Bean Wicked Good slippers. Jones was too overwhelmed to ponder her purchases. Denver’s Gerald Gould, who also drew a $500 card, was calmer. “I guess we’re going on a shopping spree,” he said. Dozens of those who waited in line wore L.L. Bean down jackets. They ate cookies and drank coffee offered by
That almost certainly eliminates the hope the proposed school could open in 2015, and moves the planned first day of classes back a year. “Now that we don’t have Denver Christian School anymore, that puts us in the 2016 cycle,” board president Matthew Krol said. “We’re disappointed we can’t be opening in August of 2015 like we had hoped to be. We have so many people waiting. “But this now gives us time to get ready and prepared for 2016.” The school so far has received about 1,700 intent-to-enroll forms.
The idea for a charter high school first was proposed by Jason Sanders, founder of the K-8 Ben Franklin Academy in Highlands Ranch. Only two of the Douglas County School District’s 12 charter schools offer high school classes, and Sanders felt the thousands of children who attend elementary charters needed a similar educational experience in high school. John Adams’ emphasis would differ from that of DCSD’s traditional public high schools, with the aim of ensuring every student is accepted to at least one four-year college or university.
“Our goal is to take the education children are learning from different charter schools and have an overall rigorous curriculum that prepares them for college,” Krol said. Sanders is the board’s vice president. Former DCSD board president and University of Colorado regent-elect John Carson also is on the board. The charter high school likely will open with about 500 freshmen and sophomores, and eventually would accommodate a total of 1,500 students.
orado Supreme Court.” In August, CASB filed a brief supporting DCSD based on its belief in local control for boards of education. Richardson thanked DeLay for the brief, saying it renewed his interest in membership. Silverthorn suggested a trial partnership that wouldn’t require full CASB membership, but DeLay said the association bylaws don’t provide for such an arrangement. Board president Kevin Larsen suggested DCSD rejoin on a trial basis. “I think we can join for this year,” he said. “I certainly would like to see us give this a try, especially with the number of endeavors that are coming this session.”
Reynolds and Silverthorn remain skeptical. “I’m not real clear on how it’s going to benefit us, but we’ll see,” Reynolds said. “It’s not clear to me that our interests and CASB’s interests align enough of the time.” But because DCSD is joining in the middle of a membership year, “We’ll have six months to find out and decide if we want to rejoin again,” Reynolds said. “This is a trial period, to learn more about what they do and what they offer. We’ll see how it goes.” Both women previously cited CASB minutes that showed the organization has a budget shortfall and would use DCSD’s $24,000 membership fee to help fill that financial hole. Silverthorn said she’d hoped the associa-
tion would at least pro-rate its membership fees to reflect the district’s mid-year membership, “but they’re evidently not going to.” “We’re in it now, so I’m going to be looking forward to seeing how it works out. I’ll certainly be keeping tabs on it.” DCSD was one of only four of the state’s 178 that do not belong to the association. The other three non-members are “very small, very rural and very poor,” DeLay told the board. Established in 1940, the state association describes itself as an advocate for boards of education that provides services and training to support school board members. It also lobbies the state Legislature on issues important to school boards.
L.L. Bean staff, and high-fived L.L., the store’s brown bear mascot. “I’m from Maine so I had to come,” said Vicki Duffy of Colorado Springs. “I’ve been out here 10 years, just waiting for L.L. Bean. I love the quality of the products and the lifelong guarantee.” “We were hoping we’d be one of the first 200,” said Leann Hampton, of Littleton, looking at the winding line of people ahead of her. “But we obviously are not. It’s still fun.” Robinson’s overnight vigil may not have been entirely in vain. Company representatives suggested she might be leaving with more than a $10 gift card. “We take care of our first in line,” said Ken Kacere, L.L. Bean’s senior vice president of retail. The store is on the mall’s east side in the former site of the Grand Lux Café.

Show puts collage together Center for Visual Arts offers varied exhibition By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com While the art of collage can be traced back to ancient civilizations, it has been associated most strongly with 20th-century modernists, such as Braque and Picasso, and continues to interest today’s artists nationally and internationally. The National Collage Society advances the stature of collage as a major art medium. Metropolitan State University’s Center for Visual Art, located in the Santa Fe Art District, offers a new exhibition of collage and assemblage by 91 artists, local and national, called “Greater Than the Sum: National Collage Society Exhibition.” It runs through Jan. 24 at the contemporary MSU gallery. Works displayed were chosen in a competition that drew 393 entries from five different countries: the United States, Croatia, Italy, Hungary and Canada. The jurors were Janice McDonald, collage artist and director of Denver’s Spark Gallery, Marilee Salvator, associate professor of art at MSU Denver, and Cecily Tyson, CVA creative director.
The exhibition judge is Pavel Zoubok, who owns a New York gallery and is founder and director of the nonprofit arts organization, International Collage Center. A catalog published by the NCS will be available for $10. In the Emerging Artist Gallery is Ah-Sem-Blahj, an exhibition of assemblage and collage work by Denver artists, many of whom are MSU students. It was organized by student curators.

For the first time, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is opening a holiday box office in an off-premises storefront on First Avenue between Detroit and Clayton streets in Cherry Creek North. The temporary Cherry Creek pop-up store will do much more than sell tickets and gift certificates (with all handling fees waived). There will be a stage for free performances, free activities for kids and information about the wide variety of activities offered. The 4,000-square-foot space opened Nov. 21 and runs through Dec. 23. “We want to reinforce the idea that there are great things happening at the DCPA every day,” said Creative Director Rob Silk.
DIA lifting spirits
Denver-based airport concessionaire Mission Yogurt Inc. launched its new #LiftYourSpirits complimentary wine, beer and spirits tasting series from Nov. 19 at Timberline Steaks & Grille in Denver International Airport Concourse C. The tastings, the first and third Wednesdays of every month, will continue with Palisade-based Contreras Wines on Dec. 3; Denver-based Mile High Spirits on Dec. 17; and Denver-based Infinite Monkey Theorem sparkling wines in celebration of New Year’s Eve on Dec. 31. “Travel can be a stressful experience, especially around the holidays,” said Mission Yogurt Inc. president and owner Rod Tafoya. “We hope that Mission’s new #LiftYourSpirits series will help travelers relax and enjoy their travel a little more. Offering travelers a pleasant food and beverage experience in an appealing environment has always been at the core of our mission as a company. This is just one more way we can accomplish that goal.”

“Breakout” by Carol Staub, 2013, is a mixed media collage that is featured in “Greater than the Sum.”
Espresso Americano, a Honduras-based coffee company, opened its first U.S. location Nov. 17 at the Village Plaza Shopping Center in Greenwood Village. An international coffee concept with 165 company-owned stores in Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, Espresso Americano’s newest store, at 5322 DTC Blvd., No. 200, will be the first of five locations to open across Denver in the coming months and the company’s first foray into the United States. The new space is 1,550 square feet with about 50 indoor and outdoor seats, including a community table for business meetings, seating at the bar and lounge seating. Standard hours of operation are 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday; 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Boulder cast brings iconic musical alive `Fiddler’ makes for rewarding entertainment at dinner theater By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cast members at BDT Stage in Boulder used voices, facial expressions and body language to amplify the happiness and sadness wrapped up in the familiar music and story that is “Fiddler on the Roof.” Wayne Kennedy met the challenge of portraying Tevye with an infectious laugh when he was happy, a quiet voice that expressed more serious emotions, as well as a booming voice that echoed off the walls. His portrayal of the Jewish milkman was enhanced by the performances of the entire cast, from those with silent roles to Shelly Cox-Robie’s very vocal performance as Tevye’s wife Golde during the Nov. 20 performance. The actors playing Tevye’s five daughters turned in excellent performances, and Barb Reeves as Yente the matchmaker was outstanding. Her accent and demeanor fit perfectly with the expectations of a woman who felt her life’s mission was to provide men with brides they have never met.
Castle Rock Senior Center
WON $1,000 YOU COULD TOO! “ The Castle Rock Senior Center is a community-gathering place where seniors laugh, learn, find information and assistance and focus on their complete health.”
Wayne Kennedy portrays Tevye in the BDT Stage production of the musical “Fiddler on the Roof.” Pesentation of the musical honors the 50th anniversary of the Broadway premier in 1964. The musical is scheduled to run through February. Courtesy photo In one scene, there was a dramatic appearance of a very tall ghost that brought gasps of surprise from many audience members. All the vocals were strong and the talented cast performed the often complicated and challenging dances with expertise. The story line of the musical is very familiar. It is the story of Tevye and his five daughters, and their attempts to maintain the family and the Jewish religious traditions despite the impact of anti-Jewish actions by the czarist authorities. Director Michael Duran noted in program comments that the presentation of “Fiddler on the Roof” is very special because it marks the 50th anniversary of the Broadway premiere in September 1964. In the Nov. 20 performance, Kennedy seemed to enjoy playing the lead character. He waved his arms and stamped his feet to emphasize his joy, he used his booming voice to
yell his objections when it was called for, and his silent demeanor was like an exclamation point to times of sadness. Another plus was Kennedy’s talks with God. Each prayer was a simple one-on-one conversation between a believer and his creator who was a friend. The traditional music helps strengthen the story of the struggles and changing times facing the villagers. The entire village participated in singing “Tradition”; Tevye did a solo when he asked God for a special blessing in “If I Were a Rich Man”; and the emotion was evident in the performance of “Sunrise, Sunset.” “Fiddler on the Roof” is running through Feb. 28 at BDT Stage, the new name for the former Boulder’s Dinner Theatre. There are evening performances Wednesdays through Sundays plus matinee performances on Sundays. For ticket prices or to make reservations call 303-4496000 or go to bdtstage.com.

The Arvada Center is one of the organizations included in a recent CBCA study on economic impacts of arts groups. Photo by Clarke Reader
Arts lead the way
Study shows gains in economic impact
According to the study, the combination of operating expenses, audience spending and capital expenditures totaled $1.85 billion in 2013 up 5.1 percent from 2011, and new money injected to the economy came to $520.8 million. That number is down only down 1.2 percent from 2011, when the state was still deep in the throes of an economic downturn. “The study results allow us to talk about what we can do as organizations in economic terms,” said Philip Sneed, executive director of the Arvada Center. “It’s easy for some people to think of the arts as a luxury item, but we’re job creators who provide real jobs for real people.” The jobs and payroll numbers showed significant increases with cultural and scientific organizations employing 10,205 people, up 9.1 percent from 2011. The organizations earned $150.7 million in payroll and expenses in 2013, a 4 percent increase. One of the most startling numbers is the number of volunteers who helped out organizations throughout the metro area: 44,438 volunteers contributed 1.77 million hours. That is the equivalent of 851 full-time employees and more than $44 million in donated time. “We have around 300 volunteers at the Arvada Center and they do all kinds of things — the biggest is ushering at our performances, but they also do tours and help with school groups,” Sneed said. “We count on them for everything we do.” Colorado saw the number of out-of-state tourists participating in local arts and culture events increase by 17 percent from 2011 an increase doesn’t only benefit arts organizations. “We have many people who go to restaurants and other businesses while they’re out for us,” said Susan Martin, Lakewood Cultural Center administrator. “And out of town performers stay in local hotels.” McNab, in Littleton, noted downtown
By Clarke Reader
creader @coloradocommunitymedia.com Arts and cultural organizations do more than teach people about the world around them — they grow the economies of local communities. That’s according to a recently released twoyear study of 300 arts organizations in a sevencounty metro area. The Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA) released its biennial Economic Activity Study of Metro Denver Culture on Nov. 7, which demonstrates the enormous financial and social impact exhibited by organizations funded by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District. The seven counties that receive those funds are Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson. “The numbers are great and confirms what we ‘culturals’ have always known about the impacts the arts have,” said Cheryl McNab, director of Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center. “The SCFD is a great bang for a taxpayer’s buck and produces some amazing things.” The SCFD distributes funds from a onetenth of 1 percent sales and use tax to cultural facilities throughout the Denver metro area. The funds support cultural organizations whose purpose is to advance and preserve art, culture and science. The study — conducted since 1992 — gives results taken from the 2013 calendar year and represents data gathered from about 300 organizations in the seven counties. The numbers paint a vivid picture of just how much arts contribute to the economy.
Littleton businesses near the Town Hall Arts Center are major benefactors of having a cultural center close by. Looking to the future, the CBCA study forecasts that arts benefits for the economy will only grow — by 2028 the organization projects $3.82 billion in economic activity and $989 million in economic impact. They also project 16,582 jobs by the same year. These numbers give new and rising arts groups a goal to aim for as they continue to grow in their communities. Lakewood’s 40 West Arts District “will qualify for the SCFD next year, and I think the study shows what the arts can do,” said Bill Marino, 40 West chair. “The whole state is seeing the effects of the arts — they elevate the quality of life while improving the economy.”
AT A GLANCE THE CBCA released its biennial report on the arts and
economy — the last report was in 2011:
TOTAL ECONOMIC activity: $1.85 billion in 2013, up 5.1
percent
TOTAL ECONOMIC impact: $520.8 million, down only

For breakfast, customers can choose from a variety of breakfast burritos and quiche, while for lunch the selections will include several salads and homemade paninis.

‘Anything Goes’ is holiday delight Cole Porter classic on stage in Littleton By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Anything Goes” is a floating farce — aboard a 1930s ocean liner, bound for England. The overture sets the mood at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center as the live band ranges through a bouncy set of familiar Cole Porter tunes, then lights go up on a 1930s New York City bar where we get acquainted with Billy Crocker (Zach Stailey), Reno Sweeney (Norrell Moore) and wealthy, loyal Yale alum Elisha Whitney (Ed Hickock). “I Get a Kick Out of You” is Reno’s first song, and we recognized an experienced performer in Moore, who sings and dances her way through this show with warmth and skill. The usually tipsy Whitney urges Reno to come to London with him, and Reno, who is interested in Crocker, Whitney’s less-than-efficient assistant, agrees. She appears with her four “Angels,” aka sexy backup singers. Billy, who came to bid Whitney goodbye, discovers that a woman he loves from afar, Hope Harcourt (Allison Mueller), is coming on board with her rich British fiance, Lord Evelyn Oakley (a bright-eyed Robert Janzen) — and her ditzy mom. Janzen’s custom of collecting American slang is an entertaining extra bit, as is his solo, “The Gypsy in Me.” Billy, thinking he might have a chance to woo Hope, stows away and soon gets acquainted with another stowaway, “Public Enemy Number 13,” Moonface Martin (the comical Mark Shonsey), who is disguised as a priest. Martin happens to have a passport for Scarface Johnson, “Public Enemy Number 1,” who somehow got left behind … and gives it to Billy. If this sound like a farce, that’s because it is supposed to — and we continue through a delightful two hours of disguises, mistaken identities, romance and comedy, with Porter’s wonderful score, which is somewhat updated, as is the libretto,
Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes” plays through December at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton. Big tap numbers are a trademark. Courtesy photo from a 2011 Broadway revival. Particular compliments to costume designer Nikki Harrison, who found vintage dresses and accessories that add a really fine look to the scenes. Michael Duran’s set works smoothly. And, kudos to music director Donna Debreceni’s band, which adds joy to the season. Veteran director Nick Sugar, in his ninth season at Town Hall, is expert at pulling off these musicals with lots of dance numbers, so they look effortless. He called on Kelly Kates to be co-choreographer with him, and the tap numbers, a trademark feature of this show, really shine.
IF YOU GO “Anything Goes,” by Cole Porter, plays through Dec. 28 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Downtown Littleton. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays and Saturdays; 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 14. Tickets cost $25-$44 at Town Hall’s box office, 303-794-2787, ext. 5, towhallartscenter.org.
One can just sit and smile, feeling no stress, despite some complicated situations. This is a celebration of theater and musicals, altogether appropriate for a holiday treat.

REGARDING SB-251 RESTRICTED LICENSES ISSUED IN COLORADO This advisory is to inform the business community about the new restricted licenses issued under SB-251 as of August 1, 2014 in Colorado. SB-251 is a law that went into effect but essentially bifurcated the types of licenses that would be issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Persons who are US citizens and permanent residents are eligible for unrestricted licenses; every other type of person will be required to obtain a “restricted” license under the new regulations and laws. Those who are subject to the restricted license include persons who have temporary lawful presence and those who have no lawful presence. Those with temporary lawful presence includes refugees, those who have received deferred action or DACA, pending adjustment applicants, non-immigrant workers, investors, professional athletes, and students.. Those with no lawful presence are those with no current immigration status in the United States. Those with restricted licenses have a black banner printed across their license
that says, “Not valid for federal identification, voting or public benefit purposes.” The purpose for including both lawful and unlawful persons was to ensure that law enforcement would not selectively enforce criminal proceedings against persons not lawfully present in United States. As such, employers will be seeing their non-permanent resident workers, who are here legally in Colorado, with a restricted license. The restricted license essentially means that the person cannot use that license for federal identification and benefit purposes. This would include I-9 verification purposes as that process is a federal process. These persons must use alternative documentation to satisfy I-9 requirements. However, the restricted license is a valid ID and under state statute, it complies with the Real ID Act. The Real ID Act was passed in 2005 to ensure that states provided strict regulations as to how identification documents and driver licenses are issued in order to ensure integrity and security. As such, these licenses, though
restricted, are valid for other state identification purposes such as opening bank accounts and auto registration. Employers must be very careful not to subject themselves to discrimination laws when scrutinizing restricted licenses for their nonpermanent resident workers in the United States. If employers or other business vendors have questions about the implementation of a restricted driver license, please go to the Department of Motor Vehicles website page at https://www.colorado.gov/dmv If employers are concerned about the I-9 verification of an employee with a restricted license, they should contact an immigration attorney for legal advice as soon as possible.

`Amahl’ makes visit to Highlands Ranch Opera has roots in 1951 TV broadcast By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The touching tale of a poor shepherd boy, Amahl, who likes to spin stories for his mother was first commissioned by NBC for a television broadcast on Dec. 24, 1951, and became an annual tradition. Central City Opera has teamed up with James Ramsey, music minister at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch, and Kent Thompson, director of the Denver Center Theatre Company, to produce Gian Carlo Menotti’s “Amahl and the Night Visitors” on Dec. 4, 5 and 6 at St. Luke’s. The opera will be performed in English with an orchestra. Menotti is said to have found inspiration in Hieronymous Bosch’s famous painting, “The Adoration of the Magi,” which hangs at New York’s Metropolitan Museum, and from childhood memories of Christmas in Italy, where gifts are delivered by the Three Kings, instead of Santa Claus. The opera, which is one hour long, is set near Bethlehem just after the birth of Christ. Amahl is a poor shepherd boy who loves to tell stories — recently about a comet that moves across the sky like a chariot on fire. Three splendid strangers arrive at the cot-

tage door and ask to rest awhile. The boy is fascinated by their account of a miraculous child they are seeking as they follow the star. Amahl and his mother are inspired to give reverence to the child as well and a miracle occurs. James Ramsey is music director for this production and treble John Healy will portray Amahl. He performed with Central City Opera in Benjamin Britten’s “Turn of the Screw” in 2012 and is a freshman at Denver School of the Arts. He sang with the Colorado Children’s Chorale for six years and recently performed as young Harvey in the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus’ “I Am Harvey Milk.” Mezzo-soprano Valerie Nicolosi, who performs the role of Amahl’s mother, is an experienced operatic performer. Jason Baldwin, tenor; Thomas Kittle, baritone and Antoine Hodge, bass, are Kings Kaspar, Melchior and Balthazar. Members of St. Luke’s church, orchestra and Performing Arts Academy will perform.

Defense keeps alive title drive Valor Christian allows just one score in state semifinal By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com During Valor Christian’s five-year championship football run, it has been the Eagles’ offense that has drawn most of the attention. However, on Nov. 22 at Legacy Stadium in Aurora, it was Valor’s defense that made the difference in a 14-7 Class 5A semifinal victory over Grandview, which sustained its first loss of the season. “Defense won the game for us, no doubt,” Valor coach Rod Sherman said. “It was all about our defense.” Valor (10-3) will once again head to Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Nov. 29 and try to capture the school’s sixth consecutive state championship in three different classifications. The Eagles meet Centennial League rival Cherry Creek (10-3) in a 2:30 p.m. title game. The game offers Valor a chance to avenge a 33-17 loss to Cherry Creek on Oct. 17. That setback snapped the Eagles’ string of 28 straight wins against Colorado schools. Grandview beat Valor Christian, 24-21, in a Centennial League game on Oct. 24 and at times in the fourth quarter, it looked like the Wolves might at least tie the game. But the Eagles’ defense stepped up, ensuring that the Highlands Ranch school would win its 28th consecutive playoff game and advance to another championship contest. Valor Christian protected its 14-7 lead as Grandview moved to the Eagles’ 22 yard line with 9:26 remaining in the game. However, Stone Watson intercepted Cody Summers’ fourth down pass in the end zone to short circuit the threat. Grandview was at the Valor 14-yard line but senior Eric Lee Jr. made a one-handed interception of a fourth-down pass from Summers on the final play of the game. “I just saw the quarterback scrambling and I tried to stay with my guy,” said Lee who has committed to play for Nebraska. “I didn’t want to lose him because it would have been an easy touchdown. It was like a little lob, a desperation throw and I just tried to kill that opportunity. “It was a tremendous moment and it didn’t hit me with the realization until I was walking back and realizing I was going to Mile High for a fourth time. We had to show Grandview that we were willing to fight with them.” Valor took a 14-7 halftime lead as the Eagles’ defense held the Wolves to 56 yards of

Photos by Paul DiSalvo total offense. Grandview’s touted running back Chukwuma Obinnah was limited to 16 yards in the first two quarters. Grandview finished the game with a 232230 edge in total offense and Chukwuma wound up with 96 yards rushing, but the Valor defense came up with big plays with the game on the line. Lee, Watson, Brian Dawkins Jr., Gabe Kortz, Brandon Biggs and Nate Whatmore sparked the spirited Valor defensive effort. “I thought we tackled extremely well,” Sherman said. “Our outside backers set the edge and we got some good push inside, which we didn’t get the first time we played them.” Sherman was quick to point out that a week can make a big difference in high school football. “Our defense didn’t play their best game last week (a 56-34 win over Pomona on Nov. 14) and we played really well on offense,” he said. “That’s what is real cool about high school football. We come back and I thought our defense played their best game of the year and really won the game for us.” Grandview (12-1) took a 7-0 lead after Gabe Hill intercepted a deflected pass Valor continues on Page 30

Grappling with burnout and experience Wrestling from an early age a bonus, but coaches caution against one-sport focus By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Young wrestlers are often a source for the success of high school wrestling programs — young meaning grapplers between the ages of 5 and 14 years old. “In order to have a very successful, a high school needs a successful junior program as the backbone of the program,” said Ponderosa coach Corey McNellis. “When we talk about Ponderosa wrestling obviously we are talking about the high school but in the Ponderosa wrestling program the junior program is a big part of it. “Last year the high school coaches took back over running the junior program. … In that eight-year state championship run we had that’s what we had in place was the high school coaches running the junior program so the wrestlers knew the expectations, they knew the techniques we wanted from them and they were prepared as well for the mental piece. I think a junior program is huge.” Ponderosa senior Tanner Olson, a state qualifier last season, grew up in the Mustangs youth program. “I started when I was in third grade and left in eighth grade,” said Olson. “I learned a lot of techniques. I was constantly practicing and learned about the brotherhood of the wrestling team and we all kind of got affected by that. “It was a big impact on my life because you learn lots of new moves and the mentality of becoming a wrestler. You get overwhelmed if you jump right into it. The junior program is a place to start and it builds you up to where you want to be.” Douglas County coach Gary Hartman wrestled in Cherry Creek’s Little Bruins program before competing for the Bruins in high school. “Pretty much every team in our league (Continental) has a youth program,” Hartman said. “If you don’t you’re missing out. We’re trying to be one program from youth, through middle school to us. “Even more than just in our program, junior programs build wrestling as a sport. It absolutely affects our program. We don’t have to teach as much what we want them to do. Most of the team we have right now has gone through that program. The wrestlers have the fundamentals we want them to have. We give them a couple moves here and there Wrestling continues on Page 30

punt return by Danny Rambo set up the Eagles at the 1-yard line. McCaffrey scored on a quarterback sneak to pull even after Jared Kendzioski’s extra point conversion. The Eagles mounted an 80-yard drive to go ahead 14-7 with 1:45 left in the first half. Lee caught a 16-yard TD pass from McCaffrey. Valor’s touchdown was a turning point because at first it appeared that Grandview had actually scored a touchdown to go ahead. Brandon O’Donnell attempted to pick up
a punt at the Valor 3-yard line, was hit and the ball wound up in the end zone, where Grandview’s Nathan Nguyen recovered. However, instead of a Wolves touchdown, it was ruled a touchback by the officials because the punt returner muffed the catch and never had possession of the football. Once the ball crossed the goal line, it was a dead ball and a touchback, which Valor turned into the decisive scoring drive. McCaffrey completed 14 of 23 passes for
107 yards and one touchdown with one interception. Watson was the leading Valor ball carrier with 60 yards on 11 carries. O’Donnell caught four passes and Lee had two receptions, including his touchdown grab. “I didn’t feel we started the game with the emotion and energy we wanted,” said Sherman. “In the semis, there’s some nerve in that. Then, we decided we would have another week together.”
school much easier.” Luhring said. “My staff and I are both the high school coaches and the youth coaches. So the kids are getting the same techniques for not just the four years in high school but also the years they spend in the Little Bruins program. “We keep things a little simpler for the little guys. It’s still basically the same technique that the guys that are qualifying for state year in and year out. They are using the same stuff. I would say a good third of the team has ties to the Little Bruin program.” There is some debate on whether starting
youngsters to wrestle too early can burn them out. “As long as they enjoy the sport and don’t move away we usually retain them,” McNellis said. “It’s totally up to the wrestler on how much they do,” added Hartman. “Those kids that wrestle from (age) 4 or 5 competitively, we see a little burnout and we have to reel them back in.” Luhring likes to see his wrestlers get away from wrestling for a while. “I really encourage the guys to do multiple
sports even in high school,” he said. ”I have some of my more competitive wrestlers on the varsity squad that are two-sport (athletes) and I have a three-sport athlete on the varsity squad. “We want them excited about the upcoming wrestling season, we don’t want them dreading it and feeling like `oh here we go again.’ If they get away from the mat a little while then the absence of it breaks the monotony and hopefully they have a better mind state and they are physically ready to get back at it.”
