“I hope we might do something to facilitate keeping that pool open,” said Councilmember Peggy Cole, a retired ACC professor.

Cole agreed with the nine people from “Save the ACC Pool” who said

the pool helps promote Littleton to the larger community, and that its users contribute economically by dining and shopping in the city.

“It’s all sort of the bigger picture of why I love Littleton,” said David McClendon. “The people should have

a voice. It seems like this is one person versus the people. All the people want one thing, but Dr. Diana Doyle wants something else.”

Ballots sent Contest puts big light on little ones Adventist to underage Littleton has monthly program future voters featuring newborns Mail from clerk’s office goes to preregistered youths

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Littleton City Clerk’s Office inadvertently mailed ballots for the March 3 special election to 165 minors.

In 2013, state law was changed to allow 16- and 17-year-olds to preregister so they can vote when they turn 18.

“Its purpose is to automatically register young people when they turn 18, the group that consistently has the lowest turnout rates,” reads a statement from Colleen Norton, acting city clerk, which is posted on the city’s website.

As a result, they were on the list of voters that the Arapahoe County Clerk’s Office sent to the city clerk.

“We very clearly indicated to them to remove the preregistered voters,” said Matt Crane, county clerk, on Feb. 19. “We were very clear on our instructions.”

But despite the fact that the birth dates are noted on the list, the 165 minors were sent ballots along with everyone else.

Typically, ballots are only sent to active voters, defined as those who voted in the last election. That Ballots continues on Page 10

jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com While the Littleton Community Retreat is tackling the topic of the “Silver Tsunami” and the city recently opened the Aging Well Resource Center at Bemis Library, Littleton Adventist Hospital is running a campaign that reminds us that not everyone in Littleton needs a pair of Silver Sneakers.

Meet Emery Grace Law, born on Dec. 12 of last year to Kerry and Renee Law. Emery is the hospital’s December poster child for Littleton Loves Little Ones, a monthly contest to help welcome newborns into the community fold.

The Laws’ story is a fairly common one. Kerry and Renee grew up in Littleton, knew each other in the late 1990s at Littleton High School, and then followed their own paths right back to each other. They reconnected online, and have now been married for three years.

When it was time to buy a home and start a family, their hearts led them home. After they looked at 55 houses in the area, they settled on one in the Heritage High School neighborhood, so that’s likely where little Emery will eventually go.

“It’s a good place to be, with good schools and a good community,” said Renee Law. “I grew up near the High Line Canal, and

Former Denver County Court Judge Herbert Galchinsky is known for being a prolific wedding officiant, presiding over as many as 70 a year and more than 2,000 throughout his career.

But on Feb. 17, he took some time out to preside over the 2015 Sertoma Freedom Week Awards Luncheon at Pinehurst Country Club, praising the eighth-grade essay winners for expressing themselves so articulately.

“Sometimes we take freedom for granted,” he told them. “Don’t take it for granted. Work hard to preserve it. Freedom, to me, means choosing your own destiny, and these young people are off to a good start.”

Twenty-seven middle-schoolers from throughout central Colorado and the Front Range, sponsored by the region’s 13 Sertoma Clubs, were invited to attend the “winners circle” luncheon. They earned plaques and $100

“The purpose of Freedom Week is to involve our community in a celebration of liberty, the central concept of our nation’s historical beginning,” reads the event program.

“We strive to promote an awareness of how our lives have been enriched by the premise of freedom.”

Jayla Barnes from Thunder Ridge Middle School in Aurora and Karmelle Dindinger

from Euclid Middle School in Littleton netted an extra $200 each for claiming the top honors.

Dindinger, the daughter of former Centennial City Councilmember Rick Dindinger, also wrote about faith in her essay.

“Freedom is when I can pray and minister to others, or deny and ignore by choice,” she wrote.

Hers was another proud mom.

“I’m very proud of her working hard at school, and to do her best at everything she does,” said Kristi Dindinger.

“I just hope I was able to reach people by talking about freedom of religion practices,” said her daughter.

Challenges of shade are gardening topic Writer will speak to Littleton club

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Nationally known garden writer Marcia Tatroe, who coaxes hundreds of blooms from her challenging Centennial yard — and writes books and articles about how to do it — will speak to the Littleton Garden Club at 6:30 p.m.

March 4. Her topic: “Gardening Where the Sun

IF YOU GO

The longstanding Littleton Garden Club meets at 6:30 p.m. the first Wednesday of the month in the lunchroom at the Littleton Public Schools Administration Building, 5565 S. Crocker St., Littleton. (Enter on the south side.)

Guests and new members are welcome.

Doesn’t Shine and the Hose Doesn’t Reach.”

Perfectly timed for local gardeners who are perusing seed catalogs and anxiously watching for green shoots to appear as the tail end of winter revisits us, she will address a problem

that applies to some location in almost every garden — that dry shade spot.

We have become quite familiar with a bounty of xeriscape plants that tolerate hot sun and minimal water, but there are spots shaded by trees, walls or buildings that are problematic.

Tatroe will suggest a wealth of shade-loving annuals, perennials, bulbs, ground covers and shrubs that “promise to enliven and survive those places in your garden that are so dry and shaded that it seems as if nothing will grow.”

Readers will recognize her as a garden columnist for the Denver Post since 1997 and

contributor to Sunset magazine’s monthly mountain checklist and the “Colorado Gardener.” Her published books include “Cutting Edge Gardening in the Intermountain West” and “Perennials for Dummies.” A long list of magazine and newspaper articles appears on her website.

She writes of her quarter-acre wildscape for critters — “it’s possible to share a garden with the creatures that were here before us.”

She is in demand throughout the West as a lecturer and teacher, a member of Garden Writers of America and the former member of the Xeriscape Colorado board of directors.

More twists in the LIFT saga Ensor property is a major snag on Santa Fe plan

‘I’m concerned about moving forward if we don’t fully know if it exists the way we believe it does.’

Bruce Beckman,

By Jennifer Smith

Littleton Mayor Pro Tem

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Although Littleton City Council approved a major change to the Columbine Square urban-renewal plan area on Feb. 17, it tabled a similar change to the Santa Fe plan until March 17 — two weeks after the special election that could change its fate altogether.

Four property owners — Santa Fe Sand and Gravel, The Melting Pot, the Little House and Gary Sutton — asked to be removed from the plan area, citing concerns about having been blighted and saying they didn’t anticipate ever needing or wanting help from the urban-renewal authority, Littleton Invests for Tomorrow.

“Being part of the historic district is in conflict with being in the urban-renewal district,” said Amy Reed, owner of The Melting Pot in the historically designated Carnegie Library building on the west end of Main Street. “You can’t be both.”

The majority of council — Mayor Phil

Cernanec, Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman, Councilmember Peggy Cole and Councilmember Jerry Valdes — felt they should respect those wishes, as they had previously with several other property owners.

“I think now it’s really coming out, and they’re realizing what this means to them personally,” said Valdes. “We need to respect their property rights.”

But Corey Hoffman, LIFT’s attorney, advised that letting them out could affect current litigation between Arapahoe County and the city. The county has opposed the city’s urban-renewal efforts and has some say over the matter, especially in the Santa Fe plan. It contains agricultural land, the Ensor property south of Mineral Avenue, and the state requires the county’s approval in that instance.

Hoffman said there is an alternative for the city. He explained that if not less

than half of the agricultural parcel has urban development on it, and not less than two-thirds of the perimeter abuts urban development, it can be included without county approval.

The parcel qualified with the eliminated properties included, but Hoffman said it was close and would now need to be reviewed.

“So we are effectively scuttling our own plan,” said Councilmember Randy Stein, who joined Councilmember Debbie Brinkman and Councilmember Bruce Stahlman in voting to keep the land in the plan.

That prompted Beckman to move to table a vote on the plan until after the March 3 election.

“I’m concerned about moving forward if we don’t fully know if it exists the way we believe it does,” he said.

The election is asking Littleton vot-

ers to weigh in on two measures dealing with urban renewal. One, 2A, would ban the use of eminent domain and condemnation unless a property owner requested them. The other, 300, would require a vote of the people every time a change is made to a plan.

If 300 passes, a public vote would be required to make the change to the Santa Fe plan that council tabled. It would have started the 25-year “time clock” on the agricultural portion of the plan, or the deadline for how long tax-increment financing can be used to help develop the property.

TIF is the difference between taxes generated by the properties now, and the anticipated increase development or redevelopment would bring. LIFT can use TIF revenue to cure instances of blight throughout the plan area, undergrounding utilities or installing fire-suppression systems, for example.

If 300 passes, voters would face another election to decide whether that financing method would be available for Ensor as it is now for the three other plan areas — Littleton Boulevard, Broadway and Columbine Square — as well as the northern portion of the Santa Fe plan.

“I hope both of them go down,” said Valdes of 2A and 300. “Someday Littleton may need to use these tools.”

Halfway house gets rezone Littleton council lets facility stay despite new park

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton City Council’s Feb. 17 decision to permanently rezone Arapahoe County Residential Center, a halfway house for women that has been in the city since 1987, means it will no longer need to get reapproved as a conditional use every five years.

“They’ve been basically a great corporate citizen in the city of Littleton,” said Glen Van Nimwegen, the city’s director of community development.

The rezone was made necessary by South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s plan to build a small park just north of the facility, between Chenango Avenue and the South Platte River.

SSPR has long planned to create an activity center on the Murray Open Space site, which was previously a junkyard.

“It’s not what you would traditionally think

of as a playground, but it is a gathering place for children,” said Van Nimwegen.

The site is tucked behind the Littleton Fire Rescue training center, just northwest of Santa Fe Drive and Belleview Avenue. The correctional facility, which houses an average of 97 women transitioning out of prison, is immediately to the east.

The area, zoned light industrial, is also home to the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley, Lowe’s, Corbett’s Auction House and a variety of small businesses.

According to Littleton’s zoning code, no correctional facility can be located within 500 feet of parks, residences, schools or day-care centers. But SSPR’s plan calls for a place families will enjoy, incorporating things like log balance beams, natural-art stations and educational kiosks.

“This is the first time it’s ever happened, and there’s no way to deal with it in the charter,” Jan Dickinson, senior planner, told the planning board in January.

The solution staff came up with is to rezone ACRC from light industrial to planned development industrial. Nothing about the site will

change; it will just allow the center to stay in the location where it’s been since 2005.

Councilmember Jerry Valdes wanted to ensure the facility remains open only to women, as did some members of the planning board.

He noted that age discrimination is allowed in senior housing, and all jails are gender-specific.

City Attorney Kristin Schledorn noted that gender discrimination in housing is prohibited by the federal government.

“There’s a difference between what they’re allowed to do with their facility versus what a municipality is allowed to do through zoning,” she said.

Kevin Duckworth, vice president of Colorado Educational Centers, ACRC’s parent company, said the intent is for the facility to continue to serve only women.

“Every community correction facility I’ve ever seen is single-gender,” he said. “That’s what’s in the best interest of the community, and that’s what’s in the best interest of the residents of that facility.”

Schledorn had advised removing the language, noting the federal ban on gender discrimination in housing. Rudnicki asked if the

prior zoning had, in fact, been in violation of the law.

“I’d prefer not to speak to that on the record,” said Schledorn.

Regardless, Rudnicki tried to amend the board’s recommendation to council to ban men from the facility, and board member Carrie Moore agreed.

“Whether it’s fair or not, men are more intimidating,” she said.

Board member Curt Samuelson took a more practical approach, calling the discussion a waste of time.

“City council is just going to vote straight across the board to leave it,” he said.

ACRC’s director assured the board there are no plans to allow men into the facility.

“We’ve been a female facility for several years, and we have no intentions of changing that,” said Angie Riffel.

The Murray Open Space project is supposed to cost about $375,000. It has a well that could be used to water a proposed tree nursery, said Patterson, and a bridge will connect it to Big Dry Creek.

Police to train volunteer victim advocates Suttle has been one-woman show for Littleton force

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Linda Suttle is usually the one doing the helping, but now she needs help.

Suttle is the Littleton Police Department’s only victim advocate, in charge of tending to the needs of people who suddenly find themselves entangled in the criminal-justice system through acts of violence or tragedy.

“It’s very rewarding to give people information and help them understand the process,” she said.

“Most people don’t understand the criminal-justice system. It can be very difficult and confusing.”

But it’s a lot of work for Suttle one person.

“I’ve had part-time help in the past, and we’ve used Arapahoe County volunteers,” she said. “But now we’re going to have our own people, trained by us, who know our officers and can feel connected to the department.”

To that end, LPD is looking for calm and caring volunteers to attend a training academy starting on March 10, running Tuesdays and Thursdays through April 21.

“Volunteers will also be expected to respond on call to various crime scenes or other traumatic incidents to provide crisis intervention, comfort and information to crime victims or other people experiencing trauma,” reads an LPD press release.

Suttle, who’s held her position with LPD for 28 years, will lead the training.

An Arapahoe High School graduate, she trained as a paralegal at Arapahoe Community College and earned a degree in psychology at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

She started her career in 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office as a victim witness assistant.

“It’s the same kind of thing, but it happens later and only if someone gets ar-

rested,” she said. “The challenging part for me is the immediate crisis intervention.”

Since taking the job at LPD, she’s been involved in several of the city’s highprofile cases, including the still unsolved murder of Rhonda Holland in 2004.

“I met Linda and I fell in love,” said Colleen Brewer, Holland’s sister who is now herself a volunteer victim advocate for the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.

“We would have such high hopes, and then they would just get dropped. But no matter what, Linda was always there.”

Suttle’s job can be as easy as finding a jacket for someone sitting out on a cold street curb, and as challenging as helping a rape victim cope in the immediacy of her trauma.

“A lot of times victims blame themselves,” she said. “We’re here to say whatever they did to survive is OK. It’s crisis therapy, but it’s not therapy. What we do is move people on to the next step. It’s the immediate things, what they need right now. It helps the officers a lot too, to take care of the victims’ emotional needs so they can do their job.”

The training will include coping mechanisms for the volunteers themselves, who will likely find themselves in the midst of some disturbing situations. She says for her, the key is to keep the job separate from the rest of her life.

“For me, it’s having theater,” said the amateur actress and singer who makes regular appearances at Town Hall Arts Center and other local venues. “It’s how I help myself and keep myself from getting wound up in things. For other people, it’s their children, or there’s something else that shows them life is good. You have to know how to set boundaries. This isn’t for everybody, and if people decide it’s too much, that’s fine. You’ve got to know your limits. But it’s really interesting and rewarding.”

Volunteers must have their own car, and must live within 45 minutes travel time from the Littleton Police Department. Volunteers also must be willing to submit to a background check. For more information, contact Suttle at lsuttle@ littletongov.org.

Tragedy helps Brewer give back Sister of murder victim serves as victim advocate

By Jennifer Smith

‘I’m not saying everyone has to go through a

horrendous tragedy to do

Colleen Brewer had already conquered a lot of demons by the time her sister, Rhonda Holland, was found murdered in Holland’s downtown gift store in 2004.

Brewer was adopted, so she often felt like she didn’t belong as a child, and she was shy. Then there was a brutal rape at the age of 19, alcoholism and a violent marriage.

“I knew the whole situation was wrong, but I didn’t know how to get out of it,” she said. “So I had that baggage. … Everything kind of compounded.”

After finally disentangling herself from the four-year relationship with her husband and finding sobriety — all by the age of 25 — things were looking up.

“The very last straw, of course, was my sister,” she said. “Through sobriety I really got my feet underneath me.

And then my sister was murdered, and I thought, `Wow, where do I go from here?’”

But the murder, still unsolved, led Linda Suttle into her family’s life. Suttle, the Littleton Police Department’s victim advocate, proved to be a huge inspiration for Brewer.

“She’s never left our side,” said Brewer, even just three years ago when her father, now deceased, fell and broke his neck. “I can pick up the phone any time and call her, and she’s there.”

She was inspired to go through training to become a volunteer victim advocate for the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department, and will go through Suttle’s new training program, starting March 10, to serve in the same capacity

Colleen Brewer, victim advocate

for the Littleton Police Department.

“Every class I took, it was like, `Wow, I thought I had written that book,’ ” she said. “But it helped me realize that happened to me, but that’s not who I am.”

The cold case has been back under the magnifying glass of late, since George Brauchler took over as the 18th Judicial District Attorney. Gregory Parker, still in jail after murdering his wife about a month after Holland was found killed in a similar manner, was named a suspect in 2007. Holland had, for a time, lived up the street from the Parkers, and they knew each other. But prosecutors at the time didn’t think there was enough evidence for a conviction, and the case languished until recently.

In the meantime, Brewer has found some solace in her advocate work.

Downtown Littleton can now welcome a tattoo parlor with open, sleeved arms, since Littleton City Council on Feb. 17 approved the endeavor as a conditional use.

During the discussion, Councilmember Debbie Brinkman made the surprise revelation that she got a tattoo on her ankle to celebrate her 50th birthday, and praised the establishment she patronized.

“It was cleaner than any hair salon I’ve ever been in, and it’s cleaner than some restaurants,” she said. “The industry has matured along the way.”

But Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman expressed concern, remembering back to when Remi’s Body Art Studio existed briefly at Main and Prince streets in the mid2000s. It closed its doors after people complained and the city won a zoning battle.

“It just didn’t fit,” said Beckman, who was an officer with the Littleton Police Department at the time. “There was a lot of hanging out, and there was overflow onto the sidewalk.”

Matt Sager of Think Tank Tattoo, who spurred the conversation by inquiring about opening a location downtown, said his business will include a waiting room and take clients by appointment only, lessening the likelihood of people loitering outside. State law prohibits customers younger than 18 and those who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, he noted, and requires regular health inspections.

He said the store will sell promotional items and possibly include an art gallery.

“It comes with a high reputation,” he said. “We’re looking to bring more of an art vibe to the downtown Littleton area.”

He added that the hours will likely be noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, eliminating the after-bar crowd. Van Nimwegen said that’s a common practice in the industry.

above Penzey’s Spices on Main Street. The tattoo parlor shown here is off Santa Fe in Denver. File photo “They don’t want the after-bar crowd coming in and getting a tattoo and waking up the next day and suing them,” he said.

The ordinance council passed by a vote of 6-1 allows tattoo parlors downtown and in a few other commercial areas. It would require them to be at least 1,000 feet apart, meaning just one downtown, and each will have to gain approval from the planning board individually as a conditional use.

Councilmember Bruce Stahlman offered an unsuccessful amendment to exclude them from downtown while allowing them in them in other areas. Beckman and Councilmember Randy Stein supported him.

“If we have an antiquated zoning code, maybe I’m just an antiquated guy,” said Stein, who represents downtown and was the lone vote against the ordinance, despite the fact that the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants supported it.

Councilmember Peggy Cole thought it might attract students and other new faces to downtown, boosting the local economy.

“Either we’re ashamed of it and we don’t want it anyplace, or it’s a legitimate business that attracts particular people,” she said.

There are some who lead their hasfamilies, others lead companies or teams, dy toand still others lead communities, organizaI un-tions, and associations. And yet the ones we seem to respect the most are NOT the ” ones who lead from afar, or give direction from the ivory tower; the ones we seem to gravitate towards are the leaders who lead from the front.

In my line of work I have been truly blessed to have worked for leaders, coaches and trainers who have led by example. Men and women of character and integrity who wouldn’t ask others to do anything that they weren’t prepared to do themselves.

I honestly believe that I would not have achieved success in both my personal life or my professional life had it not been for the leaders in the companies I worked for, the leaders who worked with me when I was the CEO or president, the leaders in my church, and the leaders in my community. And I say thank you to each one of them.

So as you can see, I have a great appreciation for active, intentional leadership.

If you are into history, one leader who led from the front, truly led by example, comes to mind: George Washington. If you haven’t read any of the books written about him, the w other book “1776” by David McCullough is a great a store place to start. But I digress, so let me get

rlor

ite weather is humidity.

Are you good at something, but not very good or great? I was a good basketball player.

After I was cut, I captained a team in a Sunday league, and was the league’s leading scorer. So what? It was like winning first prize at the state fair for my pigeon.

But it’s a yellowed clipping that still makes me smile.

I played intramurals at UCLA, where the intramural teams were exceptionally good.

I loved basketball. Not as much now. The pro game not at all, and some of what I don’t like about the pros has made it down to the college level, but not all the way.

Pro basketball is a lot like rugby. And dunks seem to be a big deal too often.

My father was his school’s captain. Final scores would be 28-15 and 21-17.

There was no such thing as a jump shot.

He shot free throws underhanded, like everyone else. Much later, Wilt Chamberlain would do the same thing.

We are nearing March Madness, and it is more fun than just about anything in sports.

It makes the college football playoffs and all of those ridiculous bowl games seem a little unfulfilling.

My team won’t make it into the tournament this year, so I will choose another one.

The neat thing is that it only takes five guys, not 22. So smaller schools, like Northern Iowa, have a chance. That can’t happen in football.

One year a little school from Terre Haute, Ind., that no one had heard of, and really hasn’t been heard from since, made it all the way to the national championship game.

It’s was “Hoosiers” before “Hoosiers.”

(By the way, the kid who played Jimmy Chitwood, Maris Valainis, in “Hoosiers,” was cut each of the three times he tried out for his high school team.)

I wore Converse All-Stars, because that’s all we had. They were white. When my father was playing, all they had was black. And our shorts looked like tighty boxers.

If you’re old enough to remember: The little school from Terre Haute was Indiana State. They had a player named Bird.

“Three, 2, 1, Smith from the corner.

Scores!”

In my sweetest dreams.

back to our story.

As I said, one of my very favorite things to observe is when managers, leaders, business owners, fathers, mothers, or others who are in a leadership role lead by example and we get to see it and witness their behavior. If we are smart enough, we may even try and emulate that behavior. And I have a recent story I would like to share with you about someone who truly leads by example.

Her name is Nina Hinnendael.

I happened to be skiing in Beaver Creek and had the opportunity to see for myself how Nina worked and led by example. She is a manager of a couple of “on-mountain” restaurants and actually the one person who inspired the Candy Cabin at the top of the Strawberry Park lift, chair 12 in Beaver Creek. Her attitude, smile, and work ethic speak for themselves. And as I sat there as a patron I was so impressed by the fact that even as a leader and a manager, she was

Construction-defects bill is needed fix Colorado is uniquely positioned to capitalize on numerous economic advantages that have lowered our unemployment rate, seen strong growth in several identified sectors and generated more than 70,000 new jobs in 2014, while the forecast for this year continues to trend upward.

While economists predict a 2.5 percent growth rate for 2015, we are faced with an immense issue — skyrocketing housing costs. A recent analysis by Zillow showed renters would need to make $35 an hour to stay within the rule of thumb regarding share of housing costs to annual income. Denver is a desirable city for millennials who bring ideas, innovation, creativity and passion to the workplace. Our housing costs and lack of diversity threaten the very fabric of attainable and affordable options.

As a leading statewide business organization, the Colorado Business Roundtable understands how important providing attainable housing is to community

cleaning tables, greeting customers, socializing with guests, and directing her staff all at the same time, and I asked her permission to write this column.

You see I am also a leader. I have a staff, I work in my community, I volunteer, and I get so caught up in my responsibilities I often forget that I should also be leading by example and manage and lead like Nina, doing some more of the heavy lifting.

Now, if we focus on you, yes you, you the business owner, you the vice president, you the venture capitalist, you the manager, you the leader of your family, are you leading by example or are you relying solely on what you accomplished in the past? That is one of the challenges that we have, managers and leaders who have met with success but have forgotten what got us there in the first place … hard work, character, and effort. And we know that talent without effort breeds mediocrity.

How about you? Are you a Nina? Do you lead from the front and by example? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we remember what leadership is all about, it really will be a better than good week.

We also have many seniors who desire to live near their children and grandkids who need lowermaintenance properties.

Colorado’s construction-defects law

Last year, the county lost out on $5 million dollars due to urban renewal projects.

Yet LIFT, our urban renewal board, keeps saying that our taxing entities won’t be affected. The county is currently challenging Littleton’s urban renewal plans in arbitration. We are also waiting on a court decision on why agricultural land (south of Aspen Grove) was included in the Santa Fe area when that is against state law.

Littleton Strong’s contributors of $70,000 consist mostly of developers and real estate professionals. This suggests to me that developers and Realtors are afraid of losing out on their corporate welfare — the tax increment financing that would benefit developers but would affect our city’s taxing districts for 25 years.

Opponents of 300 complain of the cost for an election every time LIFT would want to use condemnation, eminent domain or special tax financing. How does that compare to the millions of dollars over 25 years of tax dollars being taken from our county, schools and parks? How will it impact the general fund that pays for our museum, fire and police, among

passed in 2001 and has undergone several amendments since. Most cite the changes passed in 2003 and 2007 that have caused owner-occupied, multi-family housing to shrink from 23 percent of the marketplace to 3.1 percent in 2014. While we can spend a lot of time looking at what got us to where we are today, we do not prefer to look in the rearview mirror but find creative, bipartisan, pragmatic ways to fix this issue.

other items, that make the quality of life in Littleton what it is today?

There is a lot of development going in Littleton right now, significant

legislation the past two years. The COBRT is proud to be a part of the Homeowner Opportunity Alliance, a large, diverse coalition of business leaders, trade associations, chambers of commerce and community leaders. The Colorado Business Roundtable strongly feels that homeowner rights and protections will not be weakened or restricted by the passage of SB177.

Senate Bill 177 ensures that construction issues within a condo or townhouse community are not only addressed fairly and quickly but take into account the rights of homeowners and respect the members of the association community. While every homeowner deserves the right to have, in most cases, their biggest investment protected and repaired in the case of an issue, SB177 stops the current practice in which a small number of

owners — often a simple majority of a homeowners association board — can enter into legal action without the knowledge or authorization of the majority of homeowners.

There are cases where homeowners have transferred or attempted to refinance their home and been told, much to their surprise, that they cannot because of pending legal action. This is not only egregious but morally wrong, in our view.

According to state Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, SB177 differs from previous legislation in that it adds language requiring mandatory mediation and arbitration prior to filing a construction defects claim. This dispute resolution, as a way to repair or cure issues prior to initiating a lawsuit, creates a more favorable market for insurers, who cite the threat of litigation as a

primary driver for the high cost of insuring owner-occupied, multifamily housing options. Alternative dispute resolution is a legally enforceable, effective, less costly way and a less time-consuming method of resolving disputes.

We want to stress the importance of creating a workable resolution process that is fair to homeowners.

One that protects their rights, which fosters conditions that will allow the building of diverse and affordable housing options, and encourages new developments near light rail and transit stations. The Colorado Business Roundtable values the importance of community — one made of not only first-time home buyers and the millennial generation, but also seniors, firefighters, law enforcement and great workers in manufacturing, energy, technology and health sciences.

Locally, communities like Lakewood and Parker have passed ordinances to create a local remedy to encourage or spur needed development within the multi-family, owner-occupied space. While we are appreciative of their efforts and successes, this is an area where our elected leaders at the state level need to step up and ensure the passage of SB177. From the House and Senate sponsors to leadership and the rank and file dedicated servant leaders, there is broad-based bipartisan support. Please reach out to your legislator and encourage him or her to support the passage of this important economic and community-building legislation.

projects that did not need the help of public tax dollars for development. Littleton Village (Marathon property), King Soopers, Breckenridge Brewery and the Meadows at Platte Valley are four examples.

More than 700 acres being designated as blight without any wellpresented project or goal in mind seems irresponsible. When growth

and development affect our schools and parks and other facilities, I believe we citizens should have a vote. I will be voting yes on 300.

Lou Sullivan Littleton

the City of Littleton recently sent a poll out to residents, the response was overwhelmingly positive.

People love this community, our historic areas, our neighborhoods, our parks, our businesses, our library and museum — our amazing quality of life.

So what’s all the hoo-haw about urban renewal? This city is not going

to do anything that would damage that quality of life. No way is it going to condemn homes or “take” private property.

Don’t be fooled by electioneering signs. Vote no on 300! It’s a very bad idea. rita derjue Littleton

Trustees approve Wilder Lane project Columbine Valley site will get 24 patio homes

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Facing far less opposition than in previous meetings, the developers of Wilder Lane in Columbine Valley celebrated a win on Feb. 16 after the town’s board of trustees unanimously approved their plan to build patio homes on the north side of town.

“The developer worked very diligently with our planning and engineering staff to resolve drainage concerns, fencing questions with the two adjacent neighborhoods, landscaping plans and other development considerations,” said Mayor Gale Christy. “A positive relationship between the town and the owners developed.”

That’s not to say everyone loves the plan.

Five citizens attended to express concerns about density, design and traffic impacts, among other things.

“They quoted traffic-study numbers and felt there would not be a considerable impact on the traffic,” said Ginny Rogliano after the meeting. “We all know you can get a traffic study to say what you want it to say.”

The rambling farmland at Mineral Road and Santa Fe Drive is causing a snag in the city’s pursuit of urban renewal.

Photo by Jennifer Smith Town planners were adamant that a new road through the subdivision be built to connect Platte Canyon Road to the town’s main drag, Middlefield Road. Neighbors fear commuters will cut through the town to avoid the Bowles Avenue/Platte Canyon Road intersection, but staff says the traffic study doesn’t support that theory.

In an effort to discourage cut-through traffic, Platte Canyon Partners will install a roundabout and set the speed limit at 15

mph.

Some neighbors have complained about the architecture, saying it doesn’t fit with the traditional feel of the town. But the developers are enthusiastic about the design, reminiscent of the mid-century style seen in Arapaho Hills and Bow Mar South but with an updated feel.

The developers convinced the trustees that “the new and different approach would prove to be interesting and maybe even

exciting to our community,” Mayor Gale Christy said.

Averaging around 2,500 square feet each on lots ranging from 7,000 to 11,000 square feet, the homes are expected to sell for between $700,000 and $900,000. Each one will be unique, which the developers hope will appeal to young professionals and emptynesters. Like most patio homes, there won’t be fences between the houses, and the homeowners association will maintain all the landscaping.

The trustees did include a provision in their approval that the amount of on-street parking could be increased at the request of neighbors or the homeowners association within two years, should the need arise.

The trustees approved 24 homes on 6.62 acres, for a density of 3.4 units per acre. The town’s master plan envisions higher numbers on the site, and it’s actually lower than at least three surrounding subdivisions.

“We are not opposed to development but feel strongly that it should be conducted in a reasonable and responsible manner,” said Rogliano. “All future development should be in the best interest of the town of Columbine Valley. We think all future development should not affect the integrity and character of our special community.”

She said choosing Littleton Adventist as the place to bring Emery into the world was just natural.

“Obviously, I’m local,” she said. “I got stitches here when I was a little kid.”

Emery surprised everyone by needing to make an entrance two weeks earlier than expected, and Renee said the nurses were godsends all the way through the process.

“I was emotional when I came into the hospital,” she said. “The nurses just started talking. They just kind of talked me through it. They really helped ease my emotional agony and prepare to go into labor. That womanly chatter was what I needed to get me through it, and it was a calm, beautiful labor and birth.

And the night nurses, there’s something special and soft and sweet about them.

They’re like angels.”

Lauren Brendel, hospital spokesperson, said that while it’s tough to choose a winner each month, the staff is having fun introducing the community to its newest members.

“We thought it was a great way to share community members with each other, and to share the services we have here at Littleton Adventist Hospital,” said Brendel. “It’s getting people together to know each other in a different way.”

And in the meantime, the proud parents are having a blast getting to know their new baby.

“Nobody can ever prepare you for the lack of sleep, but nobody can ever prepare you for the joy of seeing your child’s face for the first time, either,” said Renee Law. “Our expectation for Emery is just for Emery to be Emery, and we will support her.”

use it, it’s expensive to maintain, and the space could be used for more popular programs as part of the college’s fitness center.

“My first priority is with our students and what their needs are,” she said in November.

“The repurposing of the space and the redesign will be open to community members.

We’re not turning our back on the community, we just can’t be in the pool business anymore.”

Save the ACC Pool organizers are hoping to convince Doyle to let them figure out a way to turn the pool into a profitable and independent enterprise so the many outside groups that do use the pool — private teams and classes, Silver Sneakers and lifeguard training, for example — won’t have to fight for already scarce time in the water.

“What she’s really saying is it’s her pool and

normally would have prevented the minors from getting them. But Norton told city council on Feb. 17 that in an effort to increase participation in the all-mail-in special election, she sent them to inactive voters, as well.

Norton said letters were sent to each household with a minor who received a ballot, telling the teens they should not return them.

Her office will check incoming ballots just in case, and Norton said all the election judges will be keeping an eye on the situation, as well.

Norton noted that only the Arapahoe County voters are affected; the minors’ names were removed from the lists that came from Douglas and Jefferson counties.

This is the first time since 2007 the city of Littleton has managed an election without the help of Arapahoe County.

The ballots, which were mailed out on Feb. 9, ask voters to weigh in on two questions concerning urban-renewal issues. The county is opposed to the city’s efforts to revive Littleton Invests for Tomorrow, the urban-renewal

she can do what she wants with it,” said Larry Borger, former Littleton city manager and chair of Save the ACC Pool. “”You’re our last, best hope.”

Mayor Phil Cernanec, once a swim coach himself, said he is sympathetic to their plight but noted the city doesn’t have jurisdiction over the college.

Borger, however, was the administrative assistant to Carl Broberg, who was city manager in 1966. That’s when Borger says the city created an urban-renewal authority to buy and clear 55 acres that housed 147 families and 12 businesses to make way for the college.

“It was called the College Park Urban Renewal Project and was the first such urbanrenewal effort by a suburban community in the Rocky Mountain West,” he said.

Council asked staff to check into the history of the pool and reach out to Doyle.

“There might be some standing that we have that might have been forgotten over time,” said Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman.

authority, and the two entities are in litigation.

But City Manager Michael Penny and Crane agree that the dispute has nothing to do with why the city decided not to use the county’s services this time around. Crane said it boiled down to his standard practice of verifying signatures on all of the ballots. It’s not required by state law, but Crane said it’s the best practice.

“I believe it is an important safeguard and have committed to use this practice for any mail-ballot election that my office is involved with,” he said. “After considering this option and reviewing the statute, the city did make the decision to decline the county’s proposal and conduct the election on its own.”

On Jan. 16, the city’s election commission voted to contract with Integrated Voting Solutions to print, stuff and mail ballots to every registered Littleton voter. Norton said it will cost at least $34,000.

“Chair Norton told the commission she is fully confident that with the resources she has, the running of the election will not be a problem,” read the minutes of that meeting.

Adult voters need to return their ballots by 7 p.m. on March 3 to the City Center, 2255 W. Berry Ave.

By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com A little girl wants her peers to see how cool the Hello Kitty logo is on her brand-new shirt, said Highlands Ranch author Debi Smith-Racanelli. Whereas a tween wants her peers to see how cool she looks in her brand-new shirt with the Hello Kitty logo.

Girls between the ages of 9 and 12 go through a lot in these tween years, SmithRacanelli said, as they transition from being a little girl to a teen. They start puberty, go from elementary school to middle school, and friend issues, and the drama around that, begins to take center stage, she said.

Debi Smith-Racanelli and Kendall Racanelli talk to Colorado Community Media

Ken d a l l sa y s:

What is the hardest part about being a tween girl?

De b i sa ys: What is the hardest part about raising a tween girl?

You feel like your parents are still treating you like a little kid, but you don’t want to be treated that way, so you try to not be controlled.

Finding the balance of letting her grow up and start to find her own way, but making sure that you’re still involved and able to support her growth.

What are girls most challenged with in their tween years?

What are parents most challenged with in a tween daughter?

Looking and acting cool for peers. Cool for tweens is people looking up to you and wanting to be your friend. They see the older kids having fun and hanging out together and they kind of want that, so they try to act like them, thinking all their peers will think of them as cool.

Should a parent worry if they feel their tween is either too immature or too mature?

I think parents should worry more if their tween is more immature than her peers, because she has more of a chance of getting bullied for it.

Why is it important to pay attention to tweens?

Now, with all the technology and social media, some of the things that people post are just awful and inappropriate. Parents are oblivious to that. They might not realize that people would put certain things on social media. If the parents are aware, then it’s easier for them to stop it, and stop their kids from seeing it.

When people have kids in elementary school, they have to be super-vigilant because they require a lot of supervision. Parents of tweens sometimes make the mistake of giving them too much freedom, rather than making that transition with them.

Should a parent worry if they feel their tween is either too immature or too mature?

Yes. If a tween is too immature, I would worry that the immaturity would allow them to be too easily influenced. If they’re too mature, I would worry that they’re at risk of becoming involved with things they are definitely not ready for.

Why is it important to pay attention to tweens?

Parents are not aware of all the influences that surround tweens — from the negative media content to the kids talking about drugs and alcohol to the crazy amount of stuff they see on YouTube and social media. Even if their kids aren’t involved in those things, I think parents would be shocked at just how much their kids are actually exposed to.

Five distinguished journalists have been chosen to be inducted into the Denver Press Club Hall of Fame during the 20th Annual Denver Press Club Hall of Fame Banquet, beginning at 7 p.m. Sept.18.

The class of 2015 includes photographer Rich Clarkson, political reporter (and, for my money, the best reporter in Colorado) Lynn Bartels, architecture writer Mary Chandler and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Mike Keefe.

The legendary Damon Runyon, for whom the club’s Damon Runyon Award is named, is being inducted posthumously.

“This is a great class of inductees, with one of the nation’s top sports photographers, a top-notch political writer, a reporter who knows everything about Denver architecture and a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist,” said Bruce Goldberg, president of the club’s board of directors. “We look forward to a great night of nostalgia and honoring solid journalism.”

The banquet will be held at the club’s landmark building at 1330 Glenarm in Denver. Seating is limited and this event is always sold out. To purchase a ticket, go to www.blacktie-colorado.com, and click on Sept. 18. Tickets cost $65 per person.

Cities noted for innovation

Two Colorado burgs landed in the top 10 on NerdWallet.com’s list of America’s Most Innovative Cities, “NerdWallet’s guide for understanding where the impact of tech funding, innovation and startup activity is the strongest.”

Boulder ranked No. 2 behind San Jose, the epicenter of Silicon Valley in California’s Bay Area. Fort Collins placed a respectable No. 6.

Demanding story requires sensitivity `Next to Normal’ offers rock score, tough topic

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com From the start, we commend Town Hall Arts Center for producing a Pulitzer Prize drama, with a rock score — about a difficult subject. “Next to Normal,” by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, was nominated for nine 2009 Tony Awards and won three: Best Original Score, Best Orchestration and Best Performance by an Actress (Alice Ripley). In 2010, it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

It is sensitively directed by the Henry Award-winning Nick Sugar, who again shows his expertise in telling a demanding story. In his notes, he quotes New York Times critic Ben Brantley, who observed: “It is something much more than a feel-good musical; it is a feel everything musical.”

“Next to Normal” explores the dynamics of a suburban household that is coping with the mental illness of the mother, Diana. The

But that audience is also treated to a really beautiful score and thoughtful lyrics.

The script illustrates the unevenness of the day-to-day life of everyone affected, but particularly the rough time Diana has trying to hold herself together for her family.

Cast members bring strong voices.

Lamb’s and Langhoff’s blend especially well. Jacquie Jo Billings gives a very strong performance as the couple’s teenage daughter Natalie, who wants to take control of her own life and is fearful that she may inherit the illness. Ethan Knowles is even-tempered and lovable as her stoner boyfriend, while Josh Bess has the difficult

Lakewood arts program moves

Forced to vacate its Union Boulevard location last fall to make way for luxury apartments, 40 West Arts District, the long-running Lakewood Arts program opted to move next to Casa Bonita in the Lamar Station Plaza so the 27-year-old nonprofit could reside in the heart of the thriving arts district, according to a story in The Denver Post.

“They’re an amazing organization and bring to the table a breadth of experience in the visual arts, both in the creativity of the artists that display with them but also the programming activities,” Bill Marino, chairman of the 40 West Arts District, told the Post. “We’re thrilled to have

Kendall, who is now 14, had a big role in the writing process. She had free rein to comment and add her opinion on the topic at the end of every chapter in the book, Smith-Racanelli said.

The book can provide

some insight for parents of boys, Smith-Racanelli said, as some of the topics are universal, such as drugs and alcohol, bullying, pop culture and social media, but the experiences are targeted to girls.

Writing it “was truly a passion project to support the relationship between parents and girls in order to make those transitional years better,” Smith-Racanelli said, “which hopefully carries forward into the teen years and beyond.”

them.”

There’s a whole new set of programming options being considered, including literary and performing arts, said Meg Quinn, council vice president. The group also wants to re-establish classrooms, get a solid revenue stream, rent the space out on occasion and have a larger gallery once the remodel is complete next month.

“The new gallery is in a space with more square footage, it’s better organized and all on one level,” Quinn told the Post. “40 West will eventually have a gallery right next to ours, and being on Colfax and next to Casa Bonita, we hope will give us more visibility.”

The building’s new owners, Broad Street Realty, offered to let the arts council stay lease-free for the first year.

February 26, 2015

Matt Finesilver grabs state title, brother Josh finishes third; Bruins seventh as a team

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek junior Matt Finesilver goes into every wrestling match with the belief that he can dominate.

He did just that Feb. 21 at the Pepsi Center when he captured the Class 5A, 132-pound state championship with an 11-2 decision over Pomona’s Jason Romero.

“Whenever I go into a match, I always believe in my heart that I’m the best guy out there and I’m going to dominate,” said Finesilver. “If you don’t believe like that, it is hard to win. My freshman year at state I went two and out, and that was a heartbreaker. I just took my lumps and got better and dished it out.”

His win over Romero capped a dominating performance at the state tournament.

Finesilver’s first match ended with a pin in 3:46 over Rock Canyon’s Josh Heifetz. He pinned Arvada West’s Nicholas Smith in 3:45 in the second round and won a 12-1 semifinal decision over Arapahoe’s John Daniel.

“In our wrestling room, our coaches and teammates always try to push the pace,” said Finesilver, who finished the season with a 51-3 record. “We work the hardest in the state. It feels incredible to win. I’ll have a couple days to celebrate and then get back at it for next year.”

Finesilver was the runner-up at 113 pounds last season. His older twin brothers, Mitch and Zach, who are now wrestling at Duke, both won championships last season.

Josh Finesilver, Matt’s twin brother, finished third in the 106-pound bracket after a 9-0 decision over Grand Junction’s Dylan Martinez.

Chaparral’s Hunter Matney beat Josh Finesilver, 13-4, in the semifinals.

semifinals that the only thing I can do is battle back and take third,” he said. “I kind of took that to heart and did the best I could to get third place, and I did that.

“The tournament went OK. Obviously I wanted to finish first. You got to do the best you can with what you have, be ready and keep working for next year and try to get to where I want to be.”

Matt Finesilver and Chaparral’s Dane Drimmer were the two wrestlers from south Metro school to win state championships.

Warriors shut down Bruins in physical game Cherry Creek girls still nab league title; both teams secure first-round byes in playoffs

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Signature wins can mean a lot for confidence this time of the year.

Arapahoe senior Jennah Knafelc knew a win over Cherry Creek would strengthen the team’s confidence in its abilities and help the Warriors get a good seed in the state playoff bracket.

The 56-44 win for Arapahoe was also the rubber match, as both teams each won a game against the other earlier in the season.

Accurate outside shooting and stingy defense proved the winning combination Feb. 18.

Senior Jennah Knafelc was one of the leading scorers for Arapahoe as she had 17 points.

“Tonight wasn’t a great game for me tonight, but our whole team was excited going against Cherry Creek tonight,” she said.

“We are an outside shooting team, and I like to shoot from outside. That can be our downfall sometimes, but we were on target tonight.”

The Warriors knew their defense had to collapse to try to stop the Bruins’ inside attack, the senior Knafelc said.

The game was physical and challenging.

“Both teams played hard and it got pretty physical inside,” she said. “I got bounced around a little going inside tonight.”

After the game, both coaches complimented the play of their opponent.

“We knew we were playing a good basketball team, and I am proud of the way our girls played tonight,” Warriors Coach Jerry Knafelc. “We were selective when we took our shots, and defensively we tried hard not

Cherry Creek Coach Chris Curneen said the Warriors outplayed his team.

“They are a good outside shooting team and were really on target tonight,” he said.

“We like to work inside for our shots, and Arapahoe collapsed down in the lane and shut off our other scorers so it was a tough game for us.”

The teams exchanged baskets in the opening minutes. But Arapahoe’s accurate outside shooting put points on the score-

board while their defense kept Cherry Creek from scoring baskets to provide the Warriors a 17-2 advantage by the end of the first quarter.

The Bruins battled back and narrowed the Warriors lead to 25-22 late in the second quarter. But the Warriors scored a basket and hit a three-pointers in the final minute to stretch the halftime advantage to 30-22.

Cherry Creek made a couple scoring runs in the second half but didn’t cut deeply Arapahoe continues on Page 23

Anabelle Brewer (21) puts up an outside shot for Arapahoe during the Feb. 18 game against Cherry Creek.

Accurate outside shooting helped the Warriors win the game, 56-44.

HEADED TO STATE Each team closed out the regular season schedule Feb. 19 as Arapahoe won 70-47 at Cherokee Trail, improving to 18-4 and 12-2. Cherry Creek beat Smoky Hill 42-31 on the road to improve to 16-7 and 13-1.

The Bruins won the league title with Arapahoe a game back.

The good news for both teams? They each secured firstround byes for the Class 5A State Tournament.

Six Continental League teams earn byes Staff report Continental League boys and girls teams secured good seeds in the Class 5A state basketball playoff brackets that were released Feb. 22.

ThunderRidge, which has lost two of its past three games, still managed to get a No. 1 seed in the boys brackets; No. 2 seeds included Mountain Vista and Legend. Chaparral and Rock Canyon were No. 3 seeds.

The Continental League ended up with six boys teams getting first-round

into the Arapahoe lead as the Warriors went on to win the game, 56-44.

“I am so happy with this win,” Knafelc the coach said. “We are a good shooting team, and we shot pretty well tonight. Defensively, we knew their offense focused on inside shots, so we tried to close that down. We didn’t stop Molly Rohrer because she is a great player and she scored a lot of points, but we did close off most of the rest of their players.”

Meanwhile, Cherry Creek’s goal is to learn from the game against Arapahoe in preparation for moving forward to the state playoffs, Curneen said.

“We wanted to win this game but it didn’t hap-

byes. The four seeded teams in the four brackets of the 48-team tourney drew byes into the second round.

In the girls 5A brackets, Highlands Ranch and ThunderRidge gained top seeds while Cherry Creek and Arapahoe were No. 2 seeds.

First-round games in the boys tournament were played Feb. 25 with the second-round scheduled for Feb. 28.

In first-round games involving south Metro boys teams, Fountain Fort Carson played at Castle View, Aurora Central played at Heritage, Rocky Mountain visited Cherry Creek, Arap-

ahoe traveled to Doherty and Highlands Ranch was at Chatfield.

First-round games in the Class 5A girls tournament were played Feb. 24 with the second round set for Feb. 27. The four seeded teams in the four brackets got tickets into the second round via byes.

Seven South metro girls teams had first-round games. Prairie View was at Castle View, Columbine played at Chaparral, Mountain Range was at Mountain Vista, Rock Canyon played at Horizon, Douglas County was at Dakota Ridge, Gateway went to Leg-

pen,” Curneen said. “But I told the girls we need to put this behind us and focus on the future, because all our goals are still ahead of us.”

Cherry Creek’s attack was led by the play of Rohrer, who scored 29 points for the Bruins. It also was a special night for her as a successful free throw was her 1,000th career point at Cherry Creek.

“We knew it would be a hard game tonight and they would come after us, but we didn’t come out as strong as we should have,” Rohrer said. “Arapahoe did a good job of collapsing in the lane and making it hard to score in the paint.”

She smiled as she talked about scoring 1,000 points for Cherry Creek.

“I have played on the varsity for four seasons, and scoring 1,000 career points is a milestone,” Rohrer said. “I love basketball, and, after graduation, I plan to go to CSU-Pueblo to play college ball.”

Teams seek small victories amid big losses Lessons for both sides of blowouts in high school girls basketball

speak from both the winning and losing side.

When his team is winning by a large margin, like 25 points or more, he’ll have the players call off the press on defense. And his starters and top reserves will generally play only three quarters of a blowout.

“Where gamesmanship and sportsmanship come into conflict is when coaches that are down see an opportunity to press the other team’s reserves in order to close the gap in a game that has probably already been decided with less than a quarter to play,” he said. “What does the winning team do? Allow the reserves to get pressed and taken advantage of or put starters back in to match the other team’s level of play? The other coach and parents get upset that your starters are in the game late.”

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage coach Steph Rogers encourages her players to ignore the scoreboard. Arvada coach Justin Carpenter uses team-building activities.

Lopsided scores in high school basketball this season, particularly in the girls game, have presented challenges for coaches on both the winning and losing sides.

It’s common to see metro-area girls games decided by 20 points or more — sometimes, a lot more.

Blowout scores of 83-27, 75-8 and 52-9, just to name a few, have been recorded this season. That makes it hard for the winning coaches to have their team focus on what they have practiced and keep starters in the game.

Losing coaches have to be concerned about not letting their players get embarrassed and discouraged.

Rogers’ Eagles have been on both sides, notching a 43-point victory and absorbing 43and 44-point Continental League defeats.

“It’s easy to tell your team to work on different things if you’re playing a team that doesn’t have the talent that you do,” said Rogers, whose team finished the regular season 1013, rebounding from winning a combined six games the past two years. “You stop pressing or trapping and work on the fundamentals of the game.

“The other side is hard. I just try and tell my players during the game that I’m not looking at the score. I’m looking at us and what we’re doing, our energy and our execution. Focus on small victories within the game, being positive and trying to teach them when they do something wrong.”

Lutheran’s girls have one of the best Class 3A teams in the state and during one six-game stretch this season had an average winning margin of 43.8 points per game.

Lions coach Mark Duitsman said he remembers not long ago when his team was on the losing side of lopsided games.

Learning lessons, having fun

The boys and girls state playoffs began Feb. 24. While the games should, in general, be closer, the potential for blowouts remains, at least in the first couple of rounds.

The dilemma Blowout victories gain national attention each year. Earlier this season, a girls coach in California was suspended for two games after Arroyo Valley defeated Bloomington High, 161-2.

The Colorado High School Activities Association has not adopted a mercy rule for basketball, but leagues have been encouraged to

address the issue.

“So many of our coaches understand the value of high school competition,” said CHSAA assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann. “They are not looking to humiliate anybody, they are not looking to send a message by running up the score. The vast majority of coaches have empathy because they have been on both sides of these kinds of scores and they know how to address and how to develop game plans when they may be playing a foe that is overmatched by their team. They are teaching great lessons when they are doing it that way.”

But trying to manage the margin isn’t easy.

“You work so hard to make things automatic for your players, then you have to suddenly tell them to not play that way,” Duitsman said.

“It’s easier said than done. What often gets lost in this discussion is the lack of playing time for our top rotation. Our starters have spent most of the second half of the games on the bench this semester.”

Castle View girls coach Matt Hema can

Carpenter is athletic director in addition to being Arvada’s girls basketball coach.

His young team won only three games this season, losing by an average of 30.5 points a game.

“We have been trying to place importance on the smaller, more measurable things as opposed to the games themselves,” Carpenter said. “Things like holding the other team’s leading scorer to below her average and scoring every quarter. When we played at Valor Christian we stopped on the way home as a team and had Chick-fil-A and ice cream sundaes. Incorporating team-building activities like that has helped.”

Rock Canyon has been on the winning and losing ends of blowouts a few times this season. Junior Jaguar Sydney Smith said the big losses serve as motivation.

“It just made us come back to practice and work harder,” she said after a 21-point loss to Highlands Ranch on Feb. 19.

Learning to be a good winner is important, too.

“Once we get up by about 15, we’ll start subbing the bench and then when we get up by about 20, most of my starters won’t play anymore,” said Chris Cureen, coach of the Cherry Creek girls team. “We can do little things, like we have to have so many passes before you can shoot the ball and you have to play a certain defense. There are ways you can play the game without it getting completely out of whack.”
