Disgraced ex-sheriff going back to jail Sullivan missed or failed 46 drug tests during probation

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Former Arapahoe County Sheriff Pat Sullivan entered the courtroom using a cane and left it in handcuffs on June 19, on his way to the detention facility that once bore his name.

Arapahoe County District Court Judge William Sylvester sentenced the 71-year-old Sullivan, who appeared gaunt but calm, to 15 months in jail for repeatedly violating the

terms of his probation by missing or failing 46 drug tests, leaving the state without permission and continuing to associate with people involved in the case that got him in trouble in the first place.

“Mr. Sullivan does not see the connection between his lifestyle choices and his substance abuse,” said his probation officer, Hallie Miller. “It’s almost as if he doesn’t think the rules applied to him.”

The decorated former sheriff was originally arrested Nov. 29, 2011, when a sting operation caught him trying to exchange methamphetamine for sexual acts with a man, law enforcement officials said. He faced one felony count each of distribution of a controlled substance, attempting to influence a public servant and possession of methamphet-

amine. He also was charged with solicitation of a prostitute, a misdemeanor.

If convicted of the charges, he could have faced between one and six years in prison, but in 2012, Sullivan pleaded guilty to Class 6 felony drug possession and a Class 3 misdemeanor of soliciting prostitution. He was fined $1,100 and sentenced to 38 days in county jail, with credit for eight days served.

After his most recent arrest, Sullivan enrolled in a 28-day residential treatment program, which he was about halfway done with on June 19. He told the judge he was enjoying the program and felt better than he had in a long time.

Special to Colorado Community Media Summer means the end of school, but for Soap Box Derby drivers, it has an additional meaning: racing season.

The eighth annual Sertoma Mile High Soap Box Derby took place at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds on June 22, with drivers ages 7-18 competing to bring home first place and attend the World Championship finals in July at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio.

The Mile High Soap Box Derby had a rocky start until Sertoma began sponsoring the event eight years ago. Sertoma, which helps people with speech and

The city’s urban-renewal authority pulled back the reins on its process June 16, agreeing to postpone a vote after being barraged with criticism from members of the public.

“It’s better if the citizens are happy with the process and the decision,” Pam Chadbourne told the members of Littleton Invests for the Future. “One way to do that is to let us participate. … This is a public process. We are paying your expenses.”

Like Chadbourne, many of the disgruntled residents are active with the Sunshine Boys and/or Citizens for Rational Development, grassroots groups that closely monitor the actions of Littleton’s governmental entities. Many of them are leery of urban renewal, particularly of the term “blight” and the potential for eminent domain.

“The collateral damage is just like a big bomb that goes off in the middle of town,” said Jose Trujillo, a former councilmember who hosted the Sunshine Boys’ meetings in his restaurant on Main Street until he retired last year.

There are some new faces joining the chorus, however, including Phil Sieber, a Littleton resident and Columbine Valley’s town planner.

“When you blight an area, you are affecting the image not only of that area, but also the areas around it,” he said. “It can have a detrimental effect on other areas that can’t benefit from urban renewal.”

Bow Mar likely to annex Southwest Plaza Jeffco commissioners get first look at plan

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com There appears to be a big winner in the guessing game that has surrounded Southwest Plaza for the last several months, and it’s the tiny Town of Bow Mar. The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners unanimously passed a resolution on June 24 to act as a partner in the effort to annex the mall into Bow Mar. The board reserved the right to withdraw its support at any time up until the process is finalized, and pledged to gather input from Jefferson County residents.

“We really haven’t had a chance to find out what the citizens of Jefferson County want,” said Commissioner Casey Tighe. “I have not made up my mind whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.”

The board was briefed on June 17 by representatives of General Growth Properties, which owns the mall, on plans to go forward with or without the county’s approval.

“If Jefferson County does not take any action, GGP has the right to move forward on the proposed annexation project under alternative methods in accordance with state statutes,” reads the briefing paper. “This approach would not directly involve the county in the requests and discussions with the town. GGP prefers that Jefferson County be involved. (It) could leave Jeffco at a disadvantage with negotiations on agreements, services and revenue expenditures if it is not as involved.”

Jeanie Rossillon, Jefferson County’s director of development and transportation, explained that the commissioners’ decision hinged on a clause in the agreement that allows them to withdraw their support if negotiations break down before approval.

“It also gives the county a chance to get feedback from the community,” she said.

The deal includes everything from Wadsworth Boulevard to the west, up to and including the Super Target. Rossillon said it’s

Southwest Plaza is looking to annex into Bow Mar as a way to supplement its $80 million renovation. File photo not yet known whether it includes the pedestrian bridge over Wadsworth that has been the source of much controversy.

The briefing also revealed that GGP is spending up to $80 million on renovations that are under way. Perhaps the most noticeable change will be a more open feel, with sight lines widened down the main corridor and airier treatment of the ceilings.

Many of the stores remain open, including all five anchors: Dillard’s, JCPenney, Macy’s, Sears and Dick’s Sporting Goods. An unconfirmed floor plan surfaced in February that depicts some newcomers, including Cheesecake Factory, Apple, H&M, Canvas & Cocktails, Claire’s, Gap/Gap Kids and Maurice’s, Wahoo’s, Spicy Pickle, Pho 95, Noodles & Co. and Big Fat Pita.

Gregory Sims, senior general manager of Southwest Plaza, said in April that it’s the most all-consuming remodel of a mall he’s seen in his 20 years in the business.

Sims also confirmed at that time that GGP, which owns both Southwest Plaza and Park Meadows, had explored a deal to make the mall’s Littleton mailing address a physical re-

ality.

Sims said the remodel is currently a private undertaking, but annexation would allow for some type of public/private partnership. Counties don’t have the authority to set up such financial ventures, but towns and cities do.

“The key to ensuring a vibrant regional mall for the future is a proactive reinvestment program for the property,” reads the document. “Reinvestment opportunities for the mall can be accommodated through a longterm revenue-sharing agreement with a municipality … in which it is located.”

For annexation to occur, at least one-sixth of the area to be annexed has to be touching the municipality that wants to annex it. That would be accomplished via the “flagpole” method, whereby Bow Mar would annex rights of way from Jefferson County along Bowles Avenue.

Bow Mar officials hope to contract with the county to provide safety services, road maintenance, building permits, inspections and other services.

“The agreements between the parties

should ensure that the county gets the money we think we need out of this,” said Rossillon.

GGP calls it a win-win-win situation. It gets tax incentives for improvements. The county gets a share of the retail tax and likely more property tax from the mall as its value goes up. And the town, which currently has no commercial property, gets a share of the retail.

Of course, that means consumers could take a hit. When Southwest Plaza opened in 1981, a big marketing point was that it had no city sales tax because it was in unincorporated Jefferson County. It remains the only Colorado mall not in a city or town, though Jeffco voters approved a one-half cent sales tax in the southeast portion of the county to be used specifically for road improvements.

A grand reopening of the mall is planned for fall 2015, and Sims stresses it will still be the indoor mall everyone is used to.

“It will really be Colorado modern, embracing the Colorado lifestyle, the openness, the air, the lifestyle, the natural products,” he said. “We didn’t want to replicate Park Meadows, our sister mall. It will be a different look.”

Community celebration planned for July 4 Tens of thousands expected for day filled with good times

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The joint community July 4 celebration at Belleview, Cornerstone and Progress parks is back this year, with most of the usual activities and fireworks planned for the annual event.

“This has been such a successful event each year that we don’t plan to make many changes to something that is working so well,” said police Cmdr. Gary Condreay, one of the event organizers. “Again this year, there will be food vendors, for-a-fee activities like the climbing wall, as well as free events like the family field games.

Of course, there will be a fireworks finale, which wraps us the day’s activities.”

This is the 19th year agencies and communities have joined together to put on a July 4 celebration. For 2014, contributors and sponsors including Englewood, Littleton, South Suburban Parks and Recreation, Sheridan, Centennial and Arapahoe County. This year, the Colorado Credit Union, Herbaly Exploration and Land Rover of Denver have stepped up as private sponsors to help put on the event.

Every year, the event requires a small army of volunteers. This year, that includes representatives from the Arapahoe Rescue Patrol and the Englewood Police Volunteers. Also, Englewood’s Country Buffet, an event sponsor, provides food to feed police officers, firefighters and volunteers.

Belleview, Cornerstone and Progress parks are clustered near the intersection of West Belleview Avenue and South Windermere Street.

The celebration is very popular, and an estimated 50,000 people were at the parks for last year’s event. That number possibly doubles as the sun goes down and people begin parking and gathering along adjacent streets to watch the fireworks.

The three parks are open all day and

Inflatable bounce houses, slides and other attractions were popular at last year’s July 4 celebration at Cornerstone Park. Similar attractions will be back for this year’s July 4 event thanks to the sponsorship of several communities, agencies and businesses. File photo people generally start to arrive early, pick a good spot to watch the fireworks and set up for the day, even though the July 4 activities like the games and attractions at Cornerstone Park don’t get underway until about 3 p.m.

But there are events that get started earlier, like the Fishing for Fun event that is held in the lake at Progress Park. Signup starts at 7 a.m. and the event runs until 11 a.m. Fishing is traditionally pretty good, because the state typically stocks the lake the night before the derby with an abun-

dance of trout.

Anglers should bring their own gear, and those 16 and older are reminded they must have a valid fishing license to take part in the event.

Other early-starting activities include Belleview Park’s miniature train and children’s zoo, which open at 11 a.m. A small fee is charged for both attractions. Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Park is also open and requires an admission fee.

Event-goers are reminded that rules in all three parks prohibit glass containers

of any kind, alcoholic beverages or setting off any type of fireworks — including sparklers. Police will be patrolling the park on bikes to enforce the rules.

The AirLife helicopter is scheduled to land in the park about 6 p.m. and, about 7 p.m., entertainment begins on the stage in Cornerstone Park featuring the band Buckstein. The band will be on stage for about two hours.

The day’s activities wrap up about 9:30 p.m. with a countdown that launches the annual fireworks display.

Hickenlooper’s gun comments spark firestorm Anti-gun advocates still back governor, Republicans ready for change at top

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gun control advocates say they were not taken aback by recent comments by Gov. John Hickenlooper that initially indicated a back-pedaling of his support for a key piece of gun legislation from last year.

“Words are one thing, but I’m actionbased,” said Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex was killed in the July 2012 Aurora Theater shooting. “In the signing of the gun bills last year, the actions of the governor showed me exactly where he is on this — that he’s firmly with us on common sense laws.”

But others point to Hickenlooper’s recent remarks to a group of sheriffs — followed by an interview in which he sought to clarify those comments — as an example of failed leadership.

“We don’t need excuses and we don’t (need) different versions of the story,” said Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker. “I don’t need apologies. I need a new governor.”

The governor created a media firestorm after he acknowledged to a group of county sheriffs who were meeting June 13 in Aspen that he had been conflicted about signing a law that placed bans on high-capacity ammunition magazines.

Hickenlooper told the sheriffs that he signed the legislation — which banned the sale of magazines that hold more than 15

rounds — after a member of his “staff made a commitment” to signing it, according to video footage of the governor’s comments, which were obtained by the conservative website, Revealing Politics.

The governor also said that he did not speak with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg — a key financial backer of gun control measures — about the legislation.

But phone records obtained by other media outlets show that calls between the two did in fact take place.

A week after the fallout over his remarks, Hickenlooper clarified his comments and reaffirmed his commitment to the legislation.

“If we went through the process again, I’d sign it again,” he told KDVR in an interview that aired on June 20.

sponsored the legislation in the House, told Colorado Community Media that she received no assurances from the governor’s office that he was planning on signing her bill.

“I never had any assurance that my bills would pass,” she said. “It’s just too much of a sensitive issue for someone to make that kind of declaration.”

Fields said she has been “pleased with what the governor has done to pass these measures” and that she’s not concerned with the events from last week.

“My reaction overall is that I’m really proud of the work we’ve been able to achieve in Colorado in regard to gun safety measures,” Fields said. “We’re setting the tone for what other states are doing on this issue and the measures we took were very

‘No one could have hurt John Hickenlooper more than John Hickenlooper.’

Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker Hickenlooper also said in the interview that he made the decision to sign the legislation more than a month before the bill reached his desk and he acknowledged that he did speak with Bloomberg, but only after the governor’s mind was made up.

Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, who

common sense.”

Republicans don’t think that’s the case at all. Not a single Republican voted for the magazine ban at the Legislature in 2013.

This year, they unsuccessfully failed to repeal that and a separate law that created universal background checks on gun sales.

House Minority Leader Brian DelGros-

so, R-Loveland, took issue with Hickenlooper telling county sheriffs that he had no idea that the bills would be so controversial.

“Prior to his signature, there were hundreds of people including sheriffs from around the state testifying at the Capitol in opposition to these gun control bills,” DelGrosso said. “I would think testimony from law enforcement along with thousands of protestors and hundreds of thousands of emails would have shown Governor Hickenlooper these gun control bills were controversial.”

Holbert, who is leaving the House to run for a state Senate seat, sponsored the repeal effort in the House this year.

He believes that Hickenlooper, who is running for re-election this year, has hurt himself on this issue many times and that it will cost him, politically.

“There are now two or three versions of this story,” Holbert said. “But who made (the) decision? Did the governor make a decision as a leader or was it a staffer? Is he beholden to a staffer? And who is this staffer?

“No one could have hurt John Hickenlooper more than John Hickenlooper.”

But what happened last week was just all noise in the minds of key gun control supporters.

“He signed the bills into the law and since that time it has saved lives,” Sullivan said. “I don’t see any of these (gun laws) as road blocks. I see them as see them as speed bumps, to slow the process down a little, to make us safer in a common sense way.”

Private school looking for space Model focuses on collaboration

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Daniel Rirdan describes himself as a world traveler, global strategist, educator, international speaker, entrepreneur and author. Now, he hopes to add head of a private school to the list.

Rirdan is hosting a series of meetings this month to let people know about Threshold School, which he hopes to open somewhere in Centennial in August of next year.

“Threshold School is designed to be a transformative, groundbreaking sixth- through 12th-grade independent school,” he writes on his website. “It will facilitate thought leaders and world change-makers, preparing its students to confront the big environmental, social and technological issues of this century and also giving them a distinct marketability edge.”

The model is his own, he says, after much research.

“There’s not really anything like it anywhere,” he said.

He plans for it to look pretty much nothing like private school. For starters, tuition is $19,000 a year. Beyond that, there are no tests and no grades.

“Students will not be formally assessed and graded,” he writes. “As evidence has shown, these things corrupt the learning environment. … Let’s not confuse student accountability (which is one of the school’s cornerstone values) with a requirement to perform some routines that otherwise one wouldn’t do in order to formally demonstrate to others that one is accountable.”

There also won’t be any competitive events, either intermural or intramural competition.

“This means that each student’s mission is to help everyone to make it,” he writes. “We all sink or swim together.”

To people who think kids need to learn to lose, he says simply, “They will.

“They will learn to embrace failure, but not from something artificial. You still have goals. That’s real life.”

There will be plenty of adventure, though, from whitewater rafting to obstacle courses, activities that foster teamwork without the competition. He calls collaboration one of the “soft skills,” along with problem solving, critical thinking, imagination and curiosity that employers most want.

“Yet, when asked about their employees’ actual abilities, business executives overwhelmingly felt that new college graduates failed to meet expectations in these areas,” writes Rirdan. “Helping students develop these pertinent soft skills to the highest levels is what will set Threshold apart.”

To that end, many classes will be conducted in book-club style.

“The salon will be a forum for the exploration of new ideas in the form of boisterous debates, intellectual heated discussions and also contemplative analysis on topics that encompass history, art, literature, and philosophy,” he said.

Rirdan, who wrote “The Blueprint: Averting Global Collapse,” says he taught gifted kids in Arizona for a year, and has substituted in Boulder Valley and Jefferson County school districts for two years. He has two young children, and plans to send them through his program.

office, saying things have been running smoothly. It was nationally accredited for the first time last year, becoming one of just four counties in the state and 77 in the nation.

Lear-Kaul could be there awhile, since Arapahoe County doesn’t impose term limits on the coroner as long as the person is forensic pathologist. Dobersen served five terms, the first four as a Republican and the last as a Democrat.

“My whole platform is that it doesn’t matter what party I am,” said Lear-Kaul. “I don’t do a Republican autopsy or a Democrat autopsy. Obviously our issues are just making sure we’re serving our citizens and continuing our level of service. We know that we’re dealing with our citizens on the worst day of their life, when somebody has just died unexpectedly. We don’t want to use other people’s tragedy in our campaigns. We want people to know that what we care about is getting them their answers and taking care of the decedent.”

Mental-health actions raise racial questions Seclusion, restraint seen as ‘treatment failure’

By Kristin Jones

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News In 2010, a man named Troy Geske died at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo after being wrestled by staff members onto a bed, where he was restrained with straps and left by himself, face down. He asphyxiated.

Geske’s death resulted in the state’s paying a $775,000 settlement to his family and a ban on the use of prone restraint in state hospitals. The tragedy also accelerated a concerted effort in Colorado to limit the use of seclusion and restraint for people receiving mentalhealth treatment.

Seclusion, or confining a person alone in a room, and restraint, or physically preventing a person’s movement, have long been common tools for controlling people in a mental-health crisis — particularly when violence is a risk.

But state health officials regard the procedures as a “treatment failure,” in which risks include “serious injury or death, re-traumatization of people who have a history of trauma, and loss of dignity and other psychological harm.”

Hospitals, clinics and mental health centers — including both state-funded and private-sector institutions — reported 12 percent fewer instances of seclusion and restraint in fiscal year 2013 than two years earlier.

Still, the state’s latest report on the use of these and other mental-health procedures, released May 23, shows that minorities are more likely to be put into these punishing conditions than whites. The data shows: African-Americans make up 11 percent of the 1,498 Coloradans secluded or restrained in hospitals and other mental-health settings last year, according to the annual report by the state’s Department of Human Services.

By comparison, only around 4 percent of the total population in the state is black, according to the latest available census data from 2012, while about 8 percent of the instances of mandated mental-health treatment — including 72-hour holds, certifications, seclusion, restraint and involuntary medication — in fiscal 2013 involved black patients.

Whites show up more or less proportionally in mandated mental-health treatment.

They make up around 70 percent of the state’s population, and were involved in 69 percent of the instances of mental-health treatment last year.

However, white patients made up only 53 percent of those put into seclusion and restraint.

Access to care dubious

Hispanics are under-represented in mandated mental-health treatment, raising questions about Latinos’ access to care. Hispanics make up 21 percent of the state’s population, but were involved in only 13 percent of the instances of mandated treatment.

Like blacks, Hispanics are more likely to be subject to the most punitive conditions while in care. About 30 percent of the people put into seclusion and restraint last year were Hispanic.

A series of investigations into the state’s behavioral health-care system by Rocky Mountain PBS I-News, “Untreated: How Ignoring Mental Illness Costs Us All,” has found that for many people with mental illnesses, help is hard to find.

While demand for psychiatric services has increased significantly in recent years, the supply of inpatient services has dropped, straining the remaining hospitals and clinics that do provide these services.

Health officials at the Colorado Department of Human Services say they haven’t examined the apparent racial disparity in the use of punitive measures like seclusion and restraint.

Patrick Fox, an official with the department, says he has no insight into why AfricanAmericans may be disproportionately subject to the harsh procedures, and the issue hadn’t previously been brought to his attention.

But he said that given documented dif-

ferences in the treatment of minorities in the criminal justice system — where blacks are arrested in disproportionate numbers and given longer sentences — discrepancies in mental-health treatment are “not surprising.”

Recent records of incidents of violence and alleged abuse at the state mental health institutes at Fort Logan and Pueblo show that seclusion and restraint are still used as tools to control patients who are perceived as a risk to others. At times, residents complain that the measures cause injuries.

In December, for instance, a teen patient at Fort Logan was put into four-point restraints after trying to kick and grab staff while experiencing delusions of needing surgery, according to the hospital’s report.

He later complained of feeling numbness in his hands from the restraints — allegations that the hospital said it wasn’t able to substantiate. The state health department investigated and agreed with the institute.

Case spurred resignation

In a separate instance in May 2013, a female patient in her 30s said she knocked for 15 minutes at the window of the room where she was held in seclusion, needing to use the bathroom.

Nobody came, and she urinated on the floor.

“I’m used to being in seclusion,” she told investigators later. “But that’s not right that I had to pee on the floor.”

One nurse resigned and another was disciplined as a result of the hospital’s investigation.

Mark Silverstein, legal director at the Colorado chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, says the practices — and the potential for racial bias — deserve a close look.

“Seclusion and restraint are some of the most serious deprivations of liberty that there are in an institutional setting, so there’s certainly a risk of abuse, and there’s a history of abuse,” says Silverstein.

A lack of funding for research into racial disparities in the behavioral health-care arena in Colorado hampers efforts to address the problems, says Julie Reiskin, executive director of the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition, which advocates on behalf of people with disabilities.

Reiskin says her organization often hears concerns from people of color that they or their family members are ignored, refused treatment or funneled into jails and prisons when they seek help for mental illness.

Marlene Murillo, an executive assistant at the coalition, is one of them. Murillo, who is Hispanic, says efforts to find help for her 31-year-old son — who is schizophrenic, has substance abuse problems, and refuses treatment — have more often resulted in his being jailed than hospitalized.

Reiskin says others report they’re treated more punitively than whites when they are able to access the health-care system.

“For anybody with a mental illness, even though there’s understanding that these are illnesses, they’re treated like they’re bad,” says Reiskin. “That’s really exacerbated around people of color.”

Without enough state-directed research into the issue, says Reiskin, complaints are treated as “anecdotal.”

Simone Charles, an African-American Navy veteran who recently trained to become a peer support specialist to people with mental illnesses, says a perception that the mental-health care system is unfair to blacks already deters people from seeking the help they need.

Charles, who is 48 and lives in Denver, recalls being physically restrained by four male staff members as a teenager, when she was a student in a Kentucky school for girls who had been sexually abused. She says she was kept in a quiet room for days at a time. But only in retrospect did she wonder whether she was disciplined more than other girls in the class because of her color.

“I’ve never been restrained as an adult,” says Charles, who has post-traumatic stress disorder. “I learned that you can’t afford to be crazy and violent and black in America, because they’re going to lock you up.”

Sullivan Continued from Page 1

“I’m sorry that I did not succeed on probation,” he said. “I have a drug problem, and I have had a drug problem for some time. … I’m learning to deal with the shame and being honest with myself and my family.”

Defense attorney Kevin McGreevy argued that Sullivan is succeeding in the program and was being persecuted because of his high profile as a former sheriff, for which he earned local and even national recognition.

“There’s nobody denying that Pat Sullivan was not completely successful on probation,” said the defense attorney. “A lot of people are not completely successful on probation. But the answer is not prison.”

The judge agreed that Sullivan should be treated like anyone else.

“Which is what I did, Mr. Sullivan, when I originally sent you to probation,” Sylvester said before handing down the sentence.

The prosecution laid out what it called Sullivan’s history of deception, manipulation, lies and excuses.

“He is now a public-safety issue,” said prosecutor Robert Shapiro. “This defendant was always in

charge, and he was always trying to manipulate the situation. … The community can’t help him anymore. We tried to do everything possible to keep him out of the department of corrections.”

According to his probation officer, Sullivan repeatedly blamed the failed drug tests on medical treatments he was receiving, but never produced a doctor’s note to that effect. He also continued to visit a home occupied by several men with known mental and legal issues, saying he was there on behalf of a state agency to help the men.

When his brother died, Sullivan left a message with the probation officer that he was leaving to be with family in Texas but didn’t wait around for permission, despite the fact that not leaving the state was one of the conditions of his probation.

“The manipulation and the untruths suggest that he believes he is above the law,” said Miller.

Sullivan, a Littleton resident, was the Arapahoe sheriff from 1984 to 2002. The Arapahoe detention facility had been named after Sullivan, but county commissioners decided to change the name in 2012.

“I ask forgiveness from those I have hurt,” Sullivan told the judge June 19. “All I can do is live a better life from today.”

Group: Former sheriff example of corrupt government Staff report Bruce Baumann is a member of We are Change Colorado.

The local group describes itself as a “citizen-based, grassroots peace and social justice movement working to reveal the truth behind the events of 9/11, as well as the lies of the government and corporate elite who remain suspect in this crime.”

They cite former sheriff Pat Sullivan as an example of such government corruption, starting a Facebook event page for the sentencing hearing labeled “Guilty: Who are We Giving Guns and Authority.”

A handful of their supporters were in attendance and ap-

plauded loudly after Judge William Sylvester handed down the 15-month jail sentence for Sullivan, though they said later they thought it should have been much more harsh.

“This is how the people in power handle justice,” said Baumann. “They take care of their own and throw the little guys in jail.”

“It’s not really enough, in my opinion,” said Aaron McMurray.

“Granted, they’re only looking at the meth, not any of the other things he did that he didn’t get in trouble for.”

He’s referring to a variety of allegations that were never substantiated and for which Sullivan was never charged.

Derby Continued from Page 1

hearing disabilities, partnered with the derby, and both organizations have had better exposure as a result.

This is the second year that the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds hosted the derby. Previously, it was held in Littleton.

Diane Oppenheim, one of the volunteers from Sertoma, said the fairgrounds benefited the event.

“That was our longtime goal,” she said, “to get a permanent place to block off the street.”

The competition consists of two weight classes — stock cars, which weigh 200 pounds, and super stock cars, which weigh 230 pounds.

Drivers race in heats consisting of two one-one-one races. Racers swap two wheels with their competitors before phase one of each heat and then swap all four wheels before phase two of each heat in order to discourage unfair tampering with the cars’ wheels.

And though factors like the weight of the car impact the outcome of a race, drivers still race strategically.

“It’s really about the drivers and not about the cars,” said Buzz Pankoff, Soap Box Derby director.

In order to increase speed, each racer hunches as close to the wheel as possible while still looking over the hood of the car.

that night to approve the study areas laid out by their consultant, Anne Ricker of Ricker/Cunningham. She defined four: the Santa Fe corridor from Prince Street to just south of Mineral Avenue; the Broadway corridor from north of Powers Avenue to south of Littleton Boulevard; the Columbine Square area along Belleview Avenue, including the shopping areas on both the east and west sides of Federal Boulevard; and the Littleton Boulevard corridor from Windermere Street to Bannock Street.

“I cast the net widely so that I can bring back as much information to you as possible,” said Ricker.

She did suggest that the board eliminate any property owned by the city,

Photo by Anna Sheffer The difference in times between two competitors can come down to fractions of a second, so racers make themselves as aerodynamic as possible — even tucking their hair into the backs of their shirts. And the racers are as varied as they come. They include veterans, firsttimers and one unique car, Caidn Mat-

thews, who races using a handbrake.

Every racer worked hard, but at the end of the day, only one driver per weight class could win.

First-year racer Camden Martin, 10, won the super stock division. “[Winning] feels great ‘cause it’s my first year ever,” Martin said.

South Suburban Parks and Recreation, South Metro Housing Options or a religious institution, along with the newly remodeled car dealerships on Broadway and any single-family houses that are not being used for a commercial purpose.

Still, even some on the board are wary of how much of the city is being covered.

“Part of the problem is I don’t understand the enormity of it,” said boardmember Dennis Reynolds. “Four areas.

Why don’t we just blanket the whole city?”

The board ultimately agreed to hold off the vote until next month’s meeting, on July 21, especially since they hadn’t even seen the maps for three of them until Ricker handed them out at the end of that night’s meeting.

“We’re obliged to get this off on as solid a basis as we can,” said Reynolds.

Ham radio operators to set up station Littleton-based group takes part in global field day

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Members of the Littleton Radio Amateurs, often called ham operators, will set up their equipment at the senior shelter in Cornerstone Park on June 28. For 24 hours, they will join others around the world in the Amateur Radio Relay League’s field day activities.

The focus of field day is to demonstrate emergency communications without the use of phone systems, the Internet, power grid or any other link that could be knocked out in case of an emergency.

Locally, the Littleton club members will set up and operate a number of positions and use a number of methods to make contact with other amateur radio operators. Operators will use voice communications as well as Morse code to transmit the messages. The operators at the station will not use commercial power nor communicate by telephone or the Internet.



Many men and woman take up amateur radio as hobbies. The first step is to pass the tests and obtain a license. Then, it is up to the newly licensed operator to obtain the equipment that will operate on the frequencies set by the Federal Communications Commission for amateur radio operations.

Contacts for an amateur radio operator can range from someone across town to an operator in a country halfway around the world.

Field day is an annual ARRL event. The league is an international amateur radio organization, and its website states more than 35,000 amateur radio operators around the world will be operating and communicating from remote locations during field day activities.

Amateur radio operators, often called ham operators, have stepped up to provide emergency communications for years.

When an emergency knocks out phones and other regular communications, amateur radio operators often set up and operate their equipment to provide a communication link for emergency personnel. Another service is sending “I am OK” messages to families of area residents. All the services are provided

A member of the Littleton Radio Amateurs uses Morse Code to send a message during last year’s annual 24-hour field day event. A number of the amateur radio operators will again set up their station at Cornerstone Park for the exercise that begins at noon June 27. File photo free of charge.

Amateur radio operators provided communications links during last year’s floods,

plus they have provided backup communications for the American Red Cross and even the International Space Station.

What to do when a gunman is on the loose Free training imparts survival skills

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Columbine. Aurora. Arapahoe High School. Platte Canyon High School.

The number of active-shooter cases in the United States has tripled since 2008, averaging 15 a year now, and it seems like the south-metro area has faced more than its fair share. So Mickey Kempf, coordinator of the local Community Emergency Response Team, and Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens have teamed up to help people know what to do should they find themselves in such a dire situation.

“Understand this is not a program that we are excited and enthused about rolling out, rather it’s a program that needs to be presented to help people protect themselves and be prepared for what can and potentially will happen someday,” said Kempf.

It’s actually pretty simple: If you can run, run. If you can’t run, hide. If he finds you, fight hard and fight dirty.

“When it goes down is not the time to try to figure it out,” said Stephens on June 19, during the free training session at the Littleton Center. “It’s going to happen, so

plan for it. It will happen here. It will happen here again.”

If you’re there when it does, get out.

Don’t grab your purse, don’t call 911, don’t stop to help anyone who might be wounded. Encourage others to run with you, but don’t let them slow you down. And don’t look like the bad guy as you’re running outside, where the police might already be waiting.

“You can’t help if you’re another casualty,” said Stephens.

Once you’re out, get to a safe place and call police. Try to speak calmly, and make sure to say there’s an active shooter.

“If you say someone’s been shot, you’ll probably get five cars,” said Stephens. “If you say there’s an active shooter, you’re going to get 105 cars.”

If it’s not safe to get out, take cover.

Lock the door and barricade it with whatever’s available — desks, chairs, the copy machine. Get behind something that can block bullets, and look for anything that will work as a weapon — a fire extinguisher, scissors, even a chair.

“You need to buy three minutes,” said Stephens. “You know we’re coming, and we’re all coming, and it’s going to end when we get there, one way or another.”

According to a study by police psychologist John Nicoletti, 49 percent of active shootings end with the suspect’s suicide.

Thirty-four percent are arrested, and 17

Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens and Mickey Kempf present a free class on what to do should you ever find yourself in an active-shooter situation. Photo by Jennifer Smith percent are killed by police. The average time it takes for police to arrive on scene is three minutes.

“That is wicked fast for law enforcement,” said Stephens.

Above all, said Stephens, be determined

to live.

“Develop a warrior’s mindset,” he said.

“I will win no matter what.”

of Events The River - Littleton’s Past, Present and Future Calendar For a complete calendar of South Metro Denver

By Natalie Harden On Thursday, June 12 the South Metro Denver Chamber’s Littleton Business Coalition and the Economic Development Group joined forces at Hudson Gardens to discuss Littleton’s past, present and future. Over 100 Chamber members attended the presentation, sponsored

by Hudson Gardens. The morning began with networking followed by presentations by Rich Meredith, executive director of the Hudson Gardens and Event Center, who presented the history and future of Hudson Gardens.

His remarks were followed by Dave Lorenz, executive director of South Suburban Park and Recreation District (SSPRD), who discussed the role of SSPRD along the Mary Carter Greenway trail.

“This event was a great way for two of our strongest Chamber groups to collaborate on Littleton’s continued growth and economic development,” said Marcia McGilley, interim CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber.

Laura Kroeger, assistant program manager

at Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, spoke next regarding the coordinated planning that is occurring along the South Platte River and future economic development opportunities. City Manager Michael Penny then spoke about the existing activity along the river, from the Breckenridge Brewery development to planning for the Ensor site development. Finally, Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman introduced Jim Taylor, board chair of Littleton Invests For Tomorrow (LIFT) (formerly the Riverfront Authority), who presented the city’s plans to use the Urban Renewal Authority for future economic revitalization. Closing remarks were provided

by David Shefte, CEO of HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital-Littleton.

Norman Stucker, member of the Chamber Board of Directors and both groups, commented on the event. “The future is always about tomorrow, not yesterday; in that light I look forward to transitioning from the Chair of the Littleton Business Coalition (LBC) to a

regular member of the Executive Committee Chamber events and for more information, in support of initiatives like the approval of visit our web site at www.bestchamber.com an Urban Renewal Authority in Littleton; supporting community efforts like Clarity or call 303-795-0142.

Shredding Event raised $4,000 for Littleton Boy Scout troop and several hundred pounds of food donations for Cabrini’s Cupboard A Littleton Boy Scout troop collected $4,000 in donations. Cabrini’s Cupboard at St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church added several hundred pounds of donations to the food it provides to people needing a meal. And hundreds of residents from the South Metro area unloaded more than 10,000 pounds of documents to be shredded and more than 40,000 pounds of used electronics gear for recycling.

The event was free to the public but people taking advantage of shredding and recycling were encouraged to provide cash donations to Boy Scout Troop 4 of Littleton or non-perishable food donations that went to Cabrini’s Cupboard.

“I can’t say enough about the scouts who showed up to help,” Braunschweiger said.

“They really pitched in to help make the day a huge success.”

Those were the highlights of the free shredding and electronics recycling event held June 7 in Highlands Ranch by members of LEADapalooza, one of the South Metro Denver Chamber’s leads groups. The group has been meeting since 2009 and has 34 highly dedicated members.

“As one of our longest-running and most successful leads groups, LEADapalooza is a vital part of the South Metro Denver Chamber,” said Marcia McGilley, interim CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber. “They embody our brand promise of “Remarkable Relationships & a Thriving Community.”

“This is the most successful event of any kind that I’ve ever been involved with,” said Cheryl Braunschweiger of ALMC Mortgage at NOVA Home Loans, primary organizer of the event.

“The shredding truck provided by SHRED-

IT was so full that the sides were bulging,” Braunschweiger said. “And Techno+Rescue had to bring in several extra trucks because of the tremendous volume of items we collected for recycling. Everyone involved was blown away by the amount of material we collected.”

Sponsors included 22 LEADapalooza companies: 303 Denver Chiropractic; A Cleaner Carpet; ALMC Mortgage at NOVA Home Loans; Arrow B Architecture; Brickyard BBQ; C Squared Computer Consulting; Centennial Leasing & Sales; Experience Pros Radio Show; Handyman Matters; Holly Mullins, Farmers Insurance Group; JerryBrownPR; Major Mom; Mark Thomas, RE/MAX Professionals; Nexus Financial Services; PearleVisionStreets@SouthGlenn; PROformance Apparel; Riviera Finance; RMK Cartridge; SG Associates; Cathy Reilly, Silpada Designs; SuperMedia; and Weksler Benefits.

opinions / yours and ours

Tune in to major life lesson from TV Now, I am not typically a huge fan of television shows. Maybe I should say it differently: My preference has always been to read when I have downtime, or write, or just take some quiet time instead of watching TV. And I would say that for most of my adult life that has been consistent.

Of course, there are the exceptions to the rule, such as the Weather Channel, where Jim Cantore has been bringing great stories and keeps us hanging on the edge of our seats with his live action shots for so many years. Then there is the Discovery Channel, and really, what is better than shows about Vikings or Shark Week? And I love local news broadcasts and catching up on everything that is happening locally and around the world. Lastly, I enjoy having baseball on in the background as I read or write — I love the game and will watch or listen to almost any game that may be on.

This past year, I have been introduced to a few programs such as “Person of Interest,” “The Good Wife,” and “24.” For this column I wanted to focus on the last one, “24.” If you are familiar

with the premise, you understand that every show for the entire season happens one hour at a time. Meaning it can start at 4 p.m. and every event that takes place during that show will be completed by 5 p.m. Each episode, tons of action and loaded with drama, all takes place each week within 60 minutes.

So as I watched the most recent intense, action-packed and dramafilled one hour of Jack Bauer’s life on “24,” I was caught up in thinking about a program based on a philosophy that Zig Ziglar used to promote and embody himself, the idea of being a 24 Hour Champion.

So what does that mean? Zig would remind us that we are not just eight- to

10-hour per day employees or business people: We are moms and dads, we are community volunteers, we are part of groups and associations, and we have our circles of friends. So it’s not just about what we do to earn a living or support our family, it’s about who we are in each hour of each 24-hour day we are blessed enough to spend here on earth.

How do we do this? We have to focus on our self-confidence and healthy selfimage; we have to maintain a positive attitude; we have to build and develop relationships at home and at work; we have to set goals and pursue those goals; and we have to live with hope.

Now back to why this resonated with me during a recent viewing of a television program. The concept in the show “24” is that we see everything that is going on in a window of 60 minutes. So I thought about if someone was viewing my efforts, actions, words and, yes, even drama, would they see someone who is caught up in the moment or would they see someone who is maximizing each minute of each hour to work on mind, body, and spirit? As much as we believe we are not in control of our time or

maybe even question our control over our own future, it really is in our grasp to live the life we want to live. When we live as 24 Hour Champions we are truly set up and empowered to succeed.

Becoming a 24 Hour Champion does not mean we are awake for 24 hours.

What it means is that we stay wellrested, work hard, play hard, volunteer when and where we can, laugh hard, learn hard, and love even harder than everything mentioned above. We, not anyone else, we alone are responsible for how we see ourselves and attempt to live up to becoming a 24 Hour Champion based on how we treat our minds, our bodies, and our spirits.

I would love to know more about your own 24 Hour Champion efforts, and I would love to share more about the concept with you if you would send me an email at gotonorton@gmail.com.

When we aspire to be better than good, it really will be a better than good week.

letter to the editor Coffman shouldn’t take votes for granted Dear Mr. Mike Coffman: Obama Care is the worst law passed by a Congress/president if not in our nation’s history, certainly in my 66-year lifetime.

The Obama Care Law is unconstitutional, infringes states rights, severely restricts individual rights and freedoms, unnecessarily expands the pervasive reach of the federal government into our daily lives, and is extremely expensive adding to the country’s children and grandchildren’s debt.

Mr. Coffman, you had the opportunity to vote to de-fund Obama Care and you did not! My “NONE” vote cast in the Colorado Republican primary is to emphatically express my dissatisfaction with your vote and to inform you that you cannot take my vote for granted even though you are the only Republican Party candidate in the 6th Congressional District.

Just as Mr. Eric Cantor, U.S. House Majority Leader, could not count on a majority of his constituencies’ primary votes in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, you cannot take my vote for granted in the upcoming November 2014 general election.

I will encourage my friends, colleagues, acquaintances, neighbors, and fellow voters residing in the Colorado 6th U.S. House Congressional District to also vote “NONE” in the November 2014 general election.

Napping is a decision I don’t have to sleep on This is a tribute to naps.

W. C. Fields said that the best cure for insomnia was to “get plenty of sleep.”

I have never had insomnia, but I know people who do, and it must be very depressing. Sleep is one of the best things there is, and it is free.

Naps are gifts to ourselves. I take at least one a day, and sometimes two.

When I take a nap, it is like having two days in one. If I take two naps, I will get up at 2 or 3 a.m. and start my day.

Napping is different than sleeping at night. It’s more intense. The dreams are different.

I subscribe to NapDreams, and always ask for the same ones. Either UCLA is humiliating USC, or Grace Kelly and I are in a remake of “Rear Window.”

I take my chances with late-night dreams, and usually wind up dreaming about someone I haven’t seen in 25 years.

For some reason, I never dream

about Jennifer or Smitty. Maybe because I don’t have to?

But I do dream about my mother and father, especially my father, all the time.

And they are very vivid and real.

How do little kids feel about naps these days? I can’t remember how I felt.

I might have balked. I don’t balk now.

Give me half an hour or an hour, and I wake up with clarity I didn’t have before I fell asleep.

What happens in the interim?

As a state Senator, I am often asked what I do when we’re not in session at the Capitol. In Colorado, we originally designed a “citizen legislature,” to be in session January to May, and then go back to our “citizen” jobs in the interim. However, now, we are called a “hybrid legislature” since our legislative commitments have increased due to more complicated policy issues and larger populations with more constituent needs.

Now, many of us serve on policy committees, task forces, and commissions all year long.

So, you might want to know what your state senator is doing during the 2014 interim and year-round. This year, I serve on: • Colorado Workforce Development Council — finding policies and methods to assist with economic development for businesses from the people side; connecting candidates to job skills training and job placement assistance in order to transition back into the workplace or transfer skills into another industry.

NON-PRACTICING AND Part Time Nurses

Marshall Continued from Page 10

They always tell drunks in films to sleep it off. But if you’re a drunk and you sleep it off, you might not be able to get to sleep again for days. Unless. Unless you get drunk again. And then the cycle begins. I don’t recommend it.

Sleep deprivation is a serious thing. I have other things, but I don’t have sleep deprivation. If I am feeling sleepy, I take a nap.

It helps to be retired. My “jobs” are to paint and to write, and I am always way ahead on my painting schedule, and way ahead on my column schedule.

I do yard work and grocery shopping, and that’s about it. So if the arms of Morpheus are reaching for me, I fall into them. If flights of angels come to carry me to my rest, I gladly go with them.

My roommate appreciates my naps too. I think Smitty sleeps about 18 hours a day, and he is always happy when I join him. He is so quiet when he sleeps that I sometimes have to hold a mirror to his nose.

He never snores, but now and then he makes little sounds as if he just met Miss Dachshund October. Or for some

• Child Protection Ombudsman Advisory Work Group — Now in the third year of operation, the Child Protection Ombudsman serves as an objective resource to receive concerns, complaints, and compliments about the child welfare system. It’s now time to revisit the set-up of the office and its relationship with other agencies and its governance model, ensuring its autonomy and accountability.

Our goal is to save potentially millions of

dollars as we utilize best practices from the private sector into State IT projects and hardware/software acquisitions.

Due to some consistency issues affecting citizens, we’re currently looking at requiring minimum qualifications and training standards for the court mediators who now may be paid or volunteer.

• Conflict Resolution Month — This “synergizers” group coordinates activities throughout the state during Conflict Resolution Month, October. Year-round, we work to educate and influence elected officials and communities about the high costs of conflict and the tools and tech-

niques of managing conflict.

• The Treatment of Persons with Mental Illness in the Criminal Justice System (chair) — With almost 80 percent of Colorado inmates with mental illness or substance abuse, and who will end up back in our communities, this is critically both a human and fiscal issue.

reason he wags his tail, or he kicks his left hind leg.

I can nap on the bed, on the couch, on the floor, on the kitchen counter — it doesn’t seem to matter. And I don’t have a Sleep Number bed. I know I am lucky.

I don’t have a bad back. I have a good back.

I don’t toss and turn. I wake up in the same position that I fell asleep in.

Smitty moves around though. He’ll start out near my legs, and winds up next to the pillow.

When I wake up in the morning, he wakes up, and comes nearer and puts his two front paws on my chest. You can’t do any better than a dachshund.

“Researchers found that men who took naps at least three times a week had a 37 percent lower risk of heartrelated death.” I’m in.

And there is a name for the way I nap, nap, and sleep. It figures. I can’t invent anything. It’s called “polyphasic sleep,” meaning that you sleep multiple times in a 24-hour period. That’s Smitty. And that’s me.

Sweet dreams.

Centennial Special Olympian meeting goals Gold medalist Cody Field to kick it with the Rapids

By Anna Sheffer

Special to Colorado Community Media Cody Field is not your average athlete.

The 21-year-old Special Olympian won three gold medals at the 2013 World Special Olympics Winter Games in South Korea and has been named to the Special Olympics Hall of Fame.

And now, Field has been named to the Colorado Rapids Special Olympics Unified Soccer Team.

Yet, despite all of his success, or maybe because of it, Field remains a team player who knows the value of friendship and good sportsmanship.

“I always treat people like they should be treated,” he said. “As a people person, I always try to be social and kind. Kill ‘em with kindness if I have to.”

Field has bipolar disorder and Asperger’s, but with help from his family and his doctors, he has been able to excel in activities like Special Olympics.

He began Special Olympics in 2004 with swimming. Over the years he has participated in softball, soccer, swimming, skiing, basketball and snowboarding, all through Special Olympics. The rigorous practice schedule can be demanding, but he does it first and foremost for enjoyment.

“For him, it’s just play,” Cody’s sister Nellie Field said. “He doesn’t feel like it’s a lot of discipline; it’s just fun.”

To make the Rapids Unified Team, which has both Special Olympics and nonSpecial Olympics athletes, Field had to go to tryouts and then wait to hear about the results until after a second set of tryouts.

Watching his sister play soccer inspired Field to play again, and he waited to hear back with bated breath. His mother, Karen Field, said that he was a wreck after tryouts, nervous that he was not going to make the cut.

When he found out he made the team,

Cody Fields, right, is shown with his family. Photo by Anna Sheffer Field described his reaction as “overpowered excited.” His acceptance to the team marks his first time playing soccer since he was 9, when he played with a recreational team. Other players on the recreational team were not very supportive of Field, and the family decided that Special Olympics would be a better fit for him. That proved to be the case.

“Special Olympics athletics has been the savior — the best thing that’s ever happened to Cody,” his father, Mark Field, said.

Indeed, Special Olympics has given

Field opportunities that very few people have. He competed in the Special Olympics 2013 World Winter Games in South Korea, where he won three gold medals in snowboarding. And because he was in South Korea, he had the chance to meet his pen pal, who came to watch him race.

Field also trained with the other athletes on the U.S. team, and this involved traveling without his family for a week. The Games marked new experiences all around for Cody, and he met them head-on.

Special Olympics has helped Field come

into his own not only as an athlete, but in all other areas of life as well. He said that Special Olympics has taught him to have better sportsmanship and has helped him to value friendship, family and honor.

Special Olympics has helped him come a long way, and joining the Rapids team is another adventure for him. Field recognizes his progress and looks forward to continuing it.

“When I was on the podium,” he said, “I thought to myself, `look how far I’ve come; let’s roll it!’ ”

Just plane fun

Glass artist is man of darn few words Dale Chihuly, the “it man” in the world of art glass, clearly prefers to let his stupendous pieces of spectacular art speak for themselves rather than pontificating on his work.

During a five-minute media meet-andgreet recently, Chihuly politely posed for pictures in front of the Monet Garden Pool at the Denver Botanic Gardens where an installation of the artist’s genius dots the grounds. The exhibition runs through Nov. 30.

He answered a couple of questions while cameras, notebooks and voice recorders pressed in. This man of few words lets his art do the talking, and it has a lot to say.

The exhibit, which features installations (some designed specifically for the Denver Botanic Gardens) at 14 sites, is a don’t-miss opportunity to bask in colorful beauty. Now that I’ve seen the show during the day, a nighttime return is on my short list.

This is the Rocky Mountain Region’s first major outdoor exhibition of artwork by the celebrated American artist. Chihuly’s sculptures — ranging in size and form — add bold colors and dramatic beauty to the Gardens’ 24-acre urban oasis.

Chihuly is credited with revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement and elevating the perception of the glass medium from the realm of craft to fine art. He is renowned for ambitious architectural installations around the world, in historic cities, museums and gardens.

While I was oohing and aahing over the Saffron Tower & Cattails in the Ellipse Garden, a 30-foot-tall creation made of 312 hand-formed yellow neon tubes, the artist, along with “handlers,” rode up to the site in a golf cart.

I asked him what he was thinking as he gazed at the Saffron Tower. “It has a lot of power, especially at night,” Chihuly said.

Well said. For more information and to buy tickets, go to botanicgardens.org/exhibits/outdoor/chihuly/about.

Changeable Chihuly

The artist who earned his chops in the international glass art world wanted to stay at The Ritz-Carlton or The Four Seasons during his Denver visit.

I’m told by an impeccable source that The Ritz graciously offered the Seattlebased iconic artist the Presidential Suite gratis as a donation to the Denver Botanic Gardens, but when Chihuly arrived at the Denver digs, he was taken aback by the Chihuly-knockoff glass piece installed on the hotel’s second floor.

So he switched to The Four Seasons.

Art gets out

The Arvada Center’s summer exhibition, “Unbound: Sculpture in the Field,” creates a new outdoor visual arts area on the south grounds of the center.

“Unbound: Sculpture in the Field” began by re-imagining the existing open space with the intent to create a compelling and engaging outdoor sculpture exhibition. In partnership with Englewood’s Museum Outdoor Arts, which specializes Parker continues on Page 15

The “Aluminum Overcast” was the guest of honor, again, at The Wings Over the Rockies annual hangar dance. The 1940s-era event pairs some of the area’s best foods and wine with a nostalgic World War II feel.

Colorado general aviation supporters closed the hangar door on this year’s General Aviation Appreciation Week. The annual event strives to showcase how general aviation and community airports play a major role in the lives of not only Coloradans, but also the operation of businesses, farms and the state’s emergency response efforts. The celebration kicked off June 19 with the Colorado Aviation Business Association luncheon held at The Wildlife Experience. The event was punctuated with keynote speaker author and former U.S. Air Force Thunderbird leader, Brig. Gen. Dan Cherry. Friday followed with a charity golf tournament at the Lone Tree Golf Course, and Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum kept things swinging with their annual 1940s annual hangar dance held at Centennial Airport.

Longtime artist’s work on display in library Bentley continues to create new pieces year after year

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com There’s an advantage to being a veteran artist: One has accumulated a lifetime of images and experiences that feed into the creative juices as they flow out into a new artistic endeavor.

Painter Rita Bentley of Littleton is one of those who has stayed in the field consistently, producing new and different works year after year.

And she is a founding member, eight years ago, of CoArt Gallery at 846 Santa Fe Drive in Denver’s Arts District. The gallery is artistowned and -operated and follows her experiences with similar galleries in Littleton in earlier years.

She will hold an exhibit called “Abstract Express” in Koelbel Library’s west gallery during the month of July. A reception is planned for 2-4 p.m. on July 13.

Bentley says she “started in the Chicago area,” drawing a lot as a child. She recalls imitating the art from Saturday Evening Post covers — including those by Norman Rockwell.

She has an associate degree from the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Ill., and became interested in Native American history and art — which seemed to fit when she moved to Colorado in 1979.

Those familiar with her earlier work will recall a Southwestern flavor and images.

She creates in multimedia and maintains a working studio at Macy Dorf’s Artists on San-

IF YOU GO Rita Bentley’s “Abstract Express” exhibit will be at Koelbel Library, 5955 S. Holly St., Centennial, July 1-31. Open during library hours. Her art can also be seen at CoArt Gallery, 846 Santa Fe Drive, Denver. (Open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and first and third Friday evenings.)

in the placement of site-specific sculpture in Colorado, 27 sculptures were chosen of various sizes and media by 15 Colorado artists.

This creative endeavor evolved into a visually dramatic exhibition spread over a quarter-mile that creates a dedicated area to showcase modern and contemporary sculptures. The newly created sculpture field changes the landscape of Arvada Center and brings the programming of the center galleries inside, out.

Participating artists include: Vanessa Clarke, Emmett Culligan, John Ferguson, Erick C. Johnson, Andy Libertone, Nancy Lovendahl, Robert Mangold, Patrick Marold, Dave Mazza, Andy Miller, Charles Parson, Carl Reed, Joe Riches, Kevin Robb and Bill Vielehr.

“Unbound: Sculpture in the Field” will open with a free public reception from 6 to 9 p.m. June 26 and runs through September 2015. The sculpture area is free and open to the public during daylight hours.

The Arvada Center is located at 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. For additional information, go to arvadacenter.org/galleries or call 720-898-7200.

(Dorf, also from Littleton, is a longtime ceramics professional, who bought an old commercial building some years ago and converted it into showroom space plus artists’ studios for himself and others. It stands Bentley out with its colorful decoration by Hispanic muralists.)

Bentley said the painting “Tavira,” which will be in the show, resulted from an April trip to Tavira in Portugal where “the colors inspired me. The big turquoise in the middle is the ocean … I’m concentrating on abstracts and have done a variety.”

She is proud of her five children, 11 grandchildren and one great-grandchild and enjoys visiting a son in London, who accompanied her to Portugal recently.

Chappelle has been making the talkshow circuit lately to promote his stand-up act and to make light of his decision to walk away from a $50 million Comedy Central contract.

Botanic Gardens exhibit is glass act Chihuly’s standout pieces join forces with nature

IF YOU GO Denver Botanic Gardens is at 1007 York St., Denver.

The Chihuly exhibit runs through Nov. 30. Information: 720-865-3500, botanicgardens.org. Admission: $12.50, adults. See website for related programming.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com In 2001, renowned Seattle-based glass artist Dale Chihuly began what has become the “Garden Cycle,” which involves placing his astonishing creations among the flower, shrub and tree collections in large public gardens in the U.S. and abroad.

His installation at Denver Botanic Gardens opened June 14 and will remain until Nov. 30, as plants grow and change through the seasons.

It will look different at different times of day, in sun or shadows — and sensational when lighted after dark.

Some, such as the “Perennial Fiori” sprouting from formal flower beds, or the orange, tree-like “Summer Sun” one sees near the entrance, are obviously inspired by plant forms.

The “Blue Icicle Towers” that greet the entering visitor with a burst of glitz and glamour perhaps speak more of rock crystals — still in the realm of nature.

Just beyond is “Summer Sun,” a treelike blaze of 1,901 orange, red and yellow

ABOUT DALE CHIHULY Dale Chihuly was born in Tacoma, Wash., in 1941 and discovered glass while studying interior design at the University of Washington. He enrolled in the nation’s first glass program at the University of Wisconsin, continued at Rhode Island School of Design, and then taught there.

In 1968, with a Fulbright Fellowship, he went to Venice, Italy, and learned the team method of glassblowing.

In 1971, he founded the Pilchuck Glass School in Washington state, which has become an international glass center.

glass elements.

As one enters, a turn to the left will pass through formal flower beds with sleek “Perennial Fiori” amidst the lupines, daisies and echinaceas: sleek, striped, curvy shapes and slender pointed ones in varied colors.

Near the Waring House, where administrative offices are found, is a pond with “White Persian Towers” and “Turquoise Reeds and Marlins.”

A look to the right brings one to the 30-foot-tall “Saffron Tower and Cattails,” with neon tubes.

Walk past a pond and the “White Tower” and return to the main walkway, headed west towards the main water gardens, where floats, in and around boats, as well as the “Blue and Purple Bat and Walla Wallas” await discovery.

At the western edge in the Porter Plains, in prairie grass, is a series of tall, thin “Red Reeds,” with some of the longest hand-blown glass elements Chihuly and his team created.

One will want to return at dusk when lights give a magical glow to these art pieces.

Special night programming is planned in October and November from 5:30 to 9 p.m.

Tour guides will be available Fridays through Sundays at 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. and family-oriented tours will be offered on Saturdays from 10-11 a.m. and 2-3 p.m.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

See the website for other programs for photographers and painters.

“Float Boat” by Dale Chihuly is in the Monet Pool at Denver Botanic Gardens Photos by Sonya Ellingboe Chihuly’s studio shipped six 53-foot containers to Denver for the show, and it took 11 team members 11 days to install all the works.

There are 14 sites with installations in the Botanic Gardens, and maps are available to find them all.

While we realize that some consider the Chihuly art glass works a distraction from the plants, we feel that the Botanic

Gardens is also proud to be a certified museum, and its annual inclusion of art elements is an entirely appropriate way to entice more viewers for gardens and art.

It’s just a most happy place to spend a few hours on any given day — on more than one occasion, since the plants are constantly growing and changing.

Schweiger Ranch work continues New grant enables foundation to rebuild corrals, add signage and other upgrades

By Jane Reuter

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Schweiger Ranch will move another step back in time toward its historic working ranch appearance with the help of a nearly $200,000 state grant. The work that begins this month will repair and finish corrals around the barn, stable and a shed, renovate a chicken coop, add electricity and interpretive signage.

Construction is set for completion in September, in time for October’s annual Schweiger Ranch Fall Festival.

“This last grant we’re getting form the state will, for the most part, complete the infrastructure piece,” Schweiger Ranch Foundation president Darryl Jones said. “Now, it’s about bringing it to life.”

Though those plans aren’t yet finalized, the foundation’s vision for the future includes a petting zoo, living bee exhibit, chickens, demonstrations of ranch activities and a community garden.

“Eventually, we’d like to get to that kind of place, where it’s more of a living history mu-

seum as opposed to something that’s more static and not active,” Jones said.

He pointed to Lowell Ranch, which is south of Castle Rock, the Littleton Museum and Denver’s Four Mile Historic Park as places he hopes Schweiger Ranch someday will resemble.

“Lowell Ranch is a great example,” Jones said. “They have a ranch with community gardens, animal exhibits, and they offer regular activities out there. That’s a model we’re following.”

To make that happen, however, the foundation needs more money. Jones pitched that idea to the Lone Tree City Council during its June 17 meeting. Donations raised through a capital campaign would help pay for the bee exhibit, expansion of the apple orchard and picnic benches, among other items.

City leaders said they’ll consider a contribution as part of the upcoming budget.

Originally known as the Happy Canyon Ranch, Austrian emigrants John, Joseph, and Jacob Schweiger established the acreage in 1874. They were among the earliest settlers in the area.

John later married Anna, the daughter of a neighboring rancher, and the two raised seven children in the white ranch house. Some members of the family lived in the house until the 1950s.

“Eventually, our future development plan allows houses around the ranch, but nothing will be built on the (38-acre) ranch itself,” Jones said. “The homes will be off in the dis-

tance over some of the ridge lines, which will create a bit of a buffer form future development.”

Wind Crest turns red, white and blue D-Day survivor shares story as community honors Flag Day

By Ryan Boldrey rboldrey @coloradocommunitymedia.com Oh say, can you sing?

In celebration of a one-week span that encompassed the 70th anniversary of D-Day and Flag Day, Wind Crest in Highlands Ranch and three of its sister retirement communities in Michigan, Maryland and Kansas set out to set a patriotic record — singing the “Star-Spangled Banner” in four states at the same time in unison.

An estimated 3,000 people from generations young and old came together June 13 at the four retirement communities, including more than 400 people at Wind Crest who donned their red, white and blue to celebrate in song.

A video that will be compiled of the four communities singing in unison will be sent to Fort McHenry (where Francis Scott Key penned the song’s words), the Maryland Historical Society, the National Archives, the Guinness Book of World Records, the Smithsonian and President Barack Obama.

At the conclusion of the singing at Wind Crest — which was led by Wind Crest’s Resident Chorale — resident Jack Liggett gave a special reading of the three oft-forgotten stanzas of Key’s famous poem that aren’t sung as part of the national anthem.

Wind Crest employee Patrick Colette accompanied him quietly on guitar.

The ceremony was an emotional one for many and even brought some to tears.

For 89-year-old Shelton Bosley, it was also a time to reflect on his own personal memories serving as a gunner’s mate on a PT boat for the U.S. Navy in World War II, and what it was like to witness D-Day firsthand on June 6, 1944 in Normandy.

While more than 5,000 allied ships and 13,000 aircraft were part of the DDay invasion, Bosley was on one of 12 U.S. PT boats — or motorized torpedo boats — called on that day.

“I hate to tell you what it looked like,” recalled Bosley, 19 at the time of the invasion. “D-Day was a special day and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. To see all those planes and all those troops, it’s hard to describe. … We picked the bod-

Jim Hrbek wore his blue shirt, while his wife, Shirley, to his left, wore her red shirt and white sweater on June 13 at Wind Crest as more than 400 residents, friends and family members joined up with sister communities in Michigan, Maryland and Kansas to sing the Star Spangled Banner at the same time. Photos by Ryan Boldrey ies of Germans and Americans alike out of the water. Some of those bodies never got to the beach.”

Bosley, who dove to the see the wreckage of one of the boats in his fleet just nine years ago, was responsible for years at getting the PT veterans who survived the war together for reunions.

Today, there are only two survivors from his boat. He still picks up the phone and calls his fellow survivor from time to time.

Long considered a historian on WWII events — and long since having made amends with German veterans who he is proud today to call his friends —he is adamant about one thing, too.

“I’m not a hero,” he said. “I’m just a war survivor.”

Eagles, new coach get 7-on-7 win Knoblock gets first victory as he gets to know team

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage’s new football coach, Tyler Knoblock, guided the Eagles to their first win against another team under his direction on June 19 as they edged Littleton 1710 in the Denver Broncos 7-on-7 tournament.

“This is our first time before anyone other than own fans and going against another team,” the coach said. “Our kids are still learning our system and that is coming along. We have a ways to go but the kids love to work, the attitude is great and we bring back a lot of experience … it is a work in progress.”

Heritage hired Knoblock in February to fill the vacancy created when the school didn’t renew the contract of longtime football coach Mike Griebel.

The new coach comes to Heritage from Bishop McGuiness High School in Oklahoma City, where he served as offensive coordinator.

Knoblock said he elected not to scrimmage another team during the two-week summer contact camp.

“We practiced hard and did a couple inter-squad scrimmages during the camp,” he said. “We decided to keep the scrimmage in house because that way we get to evaluate the performance of 22 players on film during the scrimmage instead of the performance of 11 of our guys against another team.”

He said the attitude of the players has been great.

Tyler Knoblock, the new Heritage head football coach, talks to his players after their 7-on-7 win over Littleton in the June 19 Denver Bronco tournament. The coach said the summer sessions are helping him to learn about his players and his players to get to know him as they prepare for the coming season. Photo by Tom Munds “We have put them through some tough drills and asked them to work hard,” he said. “They have done what we asked and I haven’t heard anyone complain about all the hard work because we want to be ready when the season starts.”

Knoblock said the turnout has been good. He said almost all the underclassmen on last year’s roster have returned plus he

had quite a few freshmen out for the team.

“We bring back a lot of guys with varsity experience that will help us this season,” he said. “We just ask them to bring the energy, work to get better each day and, by the time the books close, we’ll be in a good place.”

He said it appears one of the team strengths in the fall will be his defense that will be anchored by seven returning start-

ers.

On offense, he said he and his assistants were evaluating players for positions including quarterback.

“Right now, we have three players we are rotating in and out so we can get a good look at them,” he said. “It is a cloudy situation, a wide-open contest for the position and too close to make a call as yet.”

Former Arapahoe skater named DU captain Grant Arnold to lead Pioneers on ice next season

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Grant Arnold will be wearing a “C” on his sweater next season for the college hockey team he grew up watching.

Arnold, who attended Arapahoe High School for three years, was named captain of the University of Denver hockey team for the 2014-15 season by coach Jim Montgomery.

“I don’t want to say it’s a dream come true,” said Arnold. “I never really thought the opportunity would present itself. It was a huge honor just in general to come to DU, growing up watching them, watching them win the back-to-back championships (in 2004 and 2005). It’s a huge honor. I’m very blessed to have it.”

Arnold, a 6-foot-1, 215-pound junior, isn’t a high-profile player who draws the immediate attention of opponents. He played last season on DU’s “Mash Line” and his gritty, physical play provided valuable contributions for the Pioneers that didn’t show up in statistics.

In 76 games with DU over the past two seasons, Arnold has three goals and 11 points but now will take on an additional role as team captain.

“I’ve been a captain before so I’m comfortable in the role,” said Arnold. “I was really, really happy I could get it this year.”

Arnold has watched and tried to follow the example of several National Hockey League captains.

“Obviously Joe Sakic growing up when the Avs were on their great run for those years,” said Arnold. “He really wasn’t the kind of player that I am but I always looked up to him. Today, I love Dustin Brown of the L.A. Kings. He plays a very physical style and he’s always so composed. He’s very intense with his team-

Grant Arnold, who attended Arapahoe High School for three years, was named captain of the University of Denver hockey team for the 2014-15 season. Courtesy photo mates but he’s also always there for them and has their back.

“Back in the day, I never got to see him play because I was too young but I watched a ton on highlights of Wendel Clark. He is the kind of the guy I love to watch in highlights and I try to play like he did. And Ray Bourque when he was here. That was really an emotional experience when he won his first Cup with the Avs.” Clark was a captain for the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1991-94 and Bourque served as the Boston Bruins captain for 21 seasons before finishing his career with Colorado.

Arnold played three years of high school hockey for Arapahoe before leaving for Green Bay his senior year to play for the Gamblers Tier I team in the United States Hockey League. He played three seasons for the Gam-

blers before coming to DU. “For the most part these days you have to leave home and go play someplace else if you’re not fortunate enough to have a junior league team in your hometown,” explained Arnold. “I hated to leave my senior year. It was a tough decision, but I wanted to pursue the hockey dream.

“I can’t even put into words the experience I had in Green Bay. We won two national championships. I was the captain of the second one and it was insane. The year we didn’t win we made it to the finals and lost to Montgomery’s team in the championship.”

Arnold was one of eight Colorado players on the DU roster last season.

“I kind grew up in the era of hockey really growing in Colorado,” he added. “It’s been awesome to see. Now we have the Thunder-

birds and Rampage, two elite AAA programs.

When I was at Arapahoe we won state championships and we had a great team. We had 13 AAA kids on our team. Hockey has really grown. It’s not at a level where other states are but it has excelled.”

Arnold played for the Thunderbirds before moving on to the Gamblers and to DU. “Grant embodies what a hockey player is all about,” said former Pioneer player and Thunderbirds coach Angelo Ricci. “He plays with great energy, passion and has a high compete level.

“His teammates feed off his attitude and work ethic which are certainly contagious throughout the locker room. I believe DU may have some players with more skill but I am not sure if they have any with more heart than Grant.”

sports roundup Flag football coming Grid Iron, an NFL-approved youth flag football league, will open play this September at Mountain Range Middle School in Highlands Ranch.

The eight-week season kicks off Sept. 13 and includes a Super Bowl tournament.

There are plans to develop additional leagues in Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties over the next few years. Grid Iron Flag Football is for boys and girls ages 5-14 and includes all-girls leagues.

For information contact norm@gridironflag.com or visit the website at www.gridironflag.com.

Creek’s Tierney resigns Cherry Creek girls lacrosse coach Brianne Tierney has resigned to pursue possible college coaching opportunities.

Tierney, daughter of University of Denver men’s lacrosse coach Bill Tierney, led the Bruins to the state title in her initial season as Creek coach in 2013 and her team finished second last season giving her a 28-9 two-year coaching record.

Creek will be seeking its third girls lacrosse coach since 2009 but it should be an attractive position since the Bruins have played in every state title game since the sport was sanctioned 16 years ago and has captured 10 state titles along the way.

Ross Macdonald of the Country Club of Castle Pines captured the Colorado Golf Association Junior Stroke Play title for the second consecutive year.

He is the first player to repeat since Scott Peterson won three straight championships from 1987 through 1989.

Macdonald tied his Valor Christian High School teammate Coby Welch of The Links Golf Course for medalist honors with an even-par 210 total after three rounds at Indian Tree Golf Course in Arvada. Macdonald captured the title June 20 on the second playoff hole with a 5-foot par putt.

Ashley Tait of Littleton, the daughter of Raccoon Creek head golf pro Pat Tait, finished second June 15 in the Decatur-Forsyth Classic of the LPGA Symnetra Tour. Tait tied for first with Madison Pressel at 210 but lost on the first playoff hole. She earned $9,043 and has made $12,594 in 12 tourneys this season.

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com It is only summer and high school basketball players and teams are polishing their skills for next season.

Still, it seemed strange to watch Highlands Ranch play without a big man in the pivot.

Zach Braxton, the dominating 6-foot-9 center who was the 2013-14 Continental League Player of the Year, has graduated and Highlands Ranch will be competing next season with 6-4 front line players.

“We don’t have a big guy but still we’re not bad,” said Highlands Ranch coach Bob Caton. “We go 6-4, 6-4. So we won’t be small but it’s not like having Zach.”

Caton was pleased with what he’s saw from his team in the Continental-Centennial Challenge tournament held June 19-21 at Heritage High School.

The Falcons have three regulars back from last season in Ryley Steward, Keith Coleman and Patrick Sullivan.

“We’re trying to see what our team makeup is going to be like next year and then work to their strengths and try to improve on their weaknesses,” said Caton. “We’ve worked a little bit on different concepts, just getting the players to kind of know each other.”

ThunderRidge had only one senior on last season’s team and the Grizzlies were the lone unbeaten team in the Continental-Centennial Challenge, winning all six games.

“We’ve done well this summer,” admitted ThunderRidge coach Joe Ortiz.

“At Metro we were 5-1, at CU we went 6-0 and then here we went 6-0. We are 5-1 in

We’re doing well but it’s summer.

“Teams are missing people, sometimes there are different things going on and you are playing more than you normally play. Most of the time we have 10 or 11 kids. So you take it with a grain of salt but we’re pleased. The kids are finding different ways to win.”

Ortiz was quick to point out the advantages of summer basketball.

“Development, development, always development,” echoed Ortiz. “The most important thing is development. You are not as up and down after the wins and losses because it’s summer. Our kids do get some exposure and we are evaluating

them but it’s strictly development. It’s all about getting better. Wins in December mean a heck of a lot more.”

Continental League teams won 37 games against their Centennial counterparts. Centennial teams won only 11 games in the three-day tourney.

ThunderRidge was 6-0 while Highlands Ranch, Mountain Vista, Legend and Regis Jesuit compiled 5-1 records.

Chaparral and Heritage went 4-2 while Rock Canyon won three games and lost three contests. Douglas County and Castle View didn’t participate.

Eaglecrest paced Centennial teams with a 4-2 record. Cherry Creek was 2-4 and Arapahoe, Mullen and Overland all went winless.

“The tournament went pretty well,”

Total wins by league: Continental 37, Centennial 11

said Heritage coach and tournament director Jentry Byleveld. “There were some really competitive games. Everyone had to bring their A game otherwise they got beat because all the teams were pretty good.

“What was nice was you got to see different styles. Summer is for the individuals and the fall is for the team. There is a lot of development and that’s why this tournament was one of the better ones.

“The competition and coaches can see what they have out there, mixing lineups up. What is nice is in the Centennial League there is a little more athletic ability and we don’t get to see that in our league as much. It gives us a taste of who can do it and who can’t. You can really evaluate players big time.”
