Ground broken for Starbucks at Woodlawn Expected opening date unknown; coin laundry expanding as other stores come and go

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ground has been broken on what’s being advertised as a new Starbucks at Woodlawn Shopping Center, but when you can expect to stop by for a latte isn’t clear.

City documents say Mike Maurer of Olsson Associates is the project’s director, but he told the Independent that a colleague in Phoenix, Cardell Andrews, is now in charge. Andrews directed questions to Kevin Kawashita, the director of development for United Growth, the firm that owns the site. Kawashita did not respond to requests for comment.

The project is still listed as “under review” on a city website, but the final building permits are about ready to be issued, said Mike Sutherland, the city’s deputy community development director.

“There were some issues” between the site’s owner and developer, Sutherland said. “The parking arrangement, how stormwater drainage was being handled — the coordination was, let’s say, not seamless. I think it’s all resolved now.”

Sutherland said a typical construction time on a building of this size is about six months.

Meanwhile, other businesses continue to cycle in and out of

Littleton’s oldest strip mall, at the intersection of Windermere Avenue and Littleton Boulevard.

Lights Out Escape Rooms closed at the end of 2018, while next door, Pho Hien has been serving Vietnamese soup since last spring.

At the center’s south side, northern Colorado’s first Simple Simon’s Pizza is under construction. The Tulsa, Oklahoma-based chain has one other Colorado location, in Pueblo. A message left for the restaurant’s owners wasn’t returned.

One Woodlawn business is on the grow: the Wash House Laundromat, at the center’s southeast corner, is doubling its footprint and adding dozens of new machines.

Owner John Jui attributes his success to turning the quality up a notch from the typical coin laundry.

“I’ve got people who come from far and wide to use this facility,” Jui said. “Thornton, Castle Rock — it’s worth it.”

The big differences, Jui said, are that there’s always an employee on hand during operating hours, and that his staff clean out every machine after every use.

“You won’t find any soap scum left on your clothes,” Jui said.

The expansion will add 16 highcapacity washers and 24 dryers to the 27 washers and 26 dryers already operating, Jui said, which he figures will alleviate the wait for the handful of washers big enough to wash full-size comforters.

Jui said he’s seen an uptick in traffic at Woodlawn since he moved in two years ago, and he likes to think it’s partly thanks to his coin laundry.

“We’re here for the long haul,” Jui said.

MY NAME IS Leo Ortiz remembers the devastation of the 1965 flood vividly.

DAVID GILBERT

LEO ORTIZ

Englewood native and Vietnam veteran A different time I was born in Englewood in 1948. We lived on the 4700 block of Bannock.

Englewood used to roll the streets up at night. It was a great place to grow up.

The police were totally different. One time I got overserved at a bar and I was driving home, and I pulled over and was sitting on the hood of my car, and a policeman rolled up — and gave me a ride home. Today I’d be in jail.

When I went to Clayton Elementary, there were a thousand students there.

It was during the Baby Boom. Englewood had eight grade schools back then, and they all had a football team.

In fifth grade there were A,B, C and D teams because so many kids wanted to play football.

In the flood When I was in high school, I was part of the Junior Red Cross, and during the flood of 1965, I helped set up cots at the high school. It was the only time in my life I saw power out in the whole town. Some of my friends stood on their roofs while their houses washed

ALUMIA SPRING OPEN HOUSE

Englewood kids My friends and I helped dig out Columbine Country Club. The people there were very nice to us. They were way richer than us Englewood kids, and they fed us country club food.

Englewood was a blue-collar town back then. It’s a much more progressive place now. It’s a city of transplants now — but hey, it’s a great place to live.

Vietnam vet I served in the Navy, and I was stationed in Da Nang in 1969 and 1970. It was just after the Tet Offensive, and we were worried there would be another.

It never happened, though. I was assigned to the Fleet Air Support unit.

We supported the aircraft carriers. I was a crew member on a C-117 cargo plane.

5 things to know: New South Suburban rec center District expects three sheets of ice at recreation, admin facility combo

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A chunk of land along East County Line Road near the north end of Highlands Ranch will soon see a nearly 200,000-square-foot building erected on it.

South Suburban Parks and Recreation District is moving forward with its plans for a new recreation complex that will also double as an administration office for the district. It will replace the 50-year-old South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial near East Arapahoe Road, along with the current administration office just a short walk away from that arena.

The $50 million project will be built on what’s now the David A. Lorenz Regional Park Disc Golf Course, land that the district already owns, along the south Centennial border.

Here are a few things to know about the facility, which is expected to open in December 2020 at the southwest corner of County Line Road and South Holly Street.

1

THREE ICE SHEETS? The new center — which does not yet have a name — would feature a fieldhouse, gymnasiums,

offices, and food and drink, but some residents have expressed worry that the plans don’t increase capacity for ice hockey and figure skating.

Hockey has grown in popularity in the district, Dirk Doty, with the district’s hockey programs, has said, and the district’s leagues were nearly at capacity recently. With school districts moving students to later start times and letting them out later, scheduling skating classes is getting more difficult, Gerry Lane, with the district’s figure skating program, has said.

Local residents have expressed concern that the new center wouldn’t increase the district’s number of ice sheets — currently, the ice arena has two.

South Suburban previously reached out to the Highlands Ranch Metro District for a partnership, requesting $10 million to pay for an additional sheet of ice. The metro district rejected the proposal last summer, with board members saying they didn’t see the benefit to the community.

After some uncertainty, South Suburban “is planning on three sheets of ice,” said Becky Grubb, who spoke for South Suburban. “We will know more as cost estimates and bids are received.”

2

CHEAPER THAN RENOVATION A cost analysis determined it would be less effective to remodel the decades-old ice arena at 6580 S. Vine St. than build-

ing the new facility, according to the district.

That’s because the current ice arena now sits over a layer of soil permanently frozen by the rinks, according to the district. The ice is causing upheaval beneath the rinks, and it’s unknown how deep the ice goes.

Thawing the ice could take years and cause more upheaval.

3

DISC GOLF’S FUTURE South Suburban isn’t planning to build a replacement disc golf course in the district, although “options are being explored for a replacement course in the general vicinity,” Grubb said.

“The disc golf community expressed their desire for a replacement course,” Grubb said. “Since constructed, the course has been a regional draw, but the location was always intended as a temporary use.”

The last day of play on the course will be April 14, around when construction on the new facility begins, according to the district’s website.

The Highlands Ranch Metro District, in partnership with South Suburban, is considering a disc golf course in the open space behind the metro district’s administrative office, south of Plaza Drive and west of South Broadway. The proposed 60-acre course, dubbed the West Fork Disc Golf Course, would have 18 holes and sit just a few miles southwest of South Suburban’s cur-

rent course.

4

SERVING MANY NEEDS The new facility aims to address many community needs and interests, Grubb

said.

South Suburban’s master plan identified a need for more indoor recreation opportunities and replacing aging facilities, Grubb said.

“The new facility will also provide a variety of options,” Grubb added.

“It will include a fieldhouse with two synthetic turf fields for sports like lacrosse and soccer, and two gymnasiums for pickleball, basketball, volleyball and more.”

The center will also offer “an abundance” of locker rooms and spectator seating, a restaurant and bar, a board room, and rental space for parties and meetings — along with South Suburban’s administrative offices.

5

FITTING INTO NETWORK The facility will not be a traditional recreation center, Grubb said. South Suburban owns and operates four “full-service” recreation centers, and two are within a five-mile radius of the new complex’s site, Grubb added.

South Suburban Ice Arena will close when the new complex opens and will be repurposed for use by the district at a future date, Grubb said.

Your home is likely your greatest asset, and yet the money that is in the home, your housing wealth, is tied up with no way to access it unless you sell the home.

However, most seniors want to stay in their home forever.

Kathy Muni Other seniors are well into retirement and have a monthly mortgage payment that, as the years go on, feels like it is strangling them.

If you have a large monthly house payment and would like to eliminate it, then you can also use the wealth in your home to eliminate your monthly mortgage payment.

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage converts some of your equity into a usable asset – either as a lump sum of cash, a growing line of credit, a monthly income stream, or a combination of the three.

At least one borrower must be 62 years old or older, and you need to have around 50% equity in your home, so if you have a mortgage you can still tap into your housing wealth. Income and credit qualifications are adjusted to accommodate senior homeowners, and

bruised credit is often no problem.

The amount of equity you can draw is established by the age of the youngest borrower, the value of the property and what is owed. Substantial equity always remains in the home. This is your housing wealth. No one owns the home but you, and you will the property to your heirs who never inherit any debt.

Plans for disc golf course advance Site would be in open space behind metro district administration building

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Highlands Ranch Metro District, in partnership with South Suburban Parks and Recreation, is considering a disc golf course in the open space behind its administrative office, south of Plaza Drive and west of South Broadway. The proposed 60-acre course, dubbed the West Fork Disc Golf Course, would have 18 holes.

At a March 26 metro district board meeting, directors approved a conceptual design study for the course’s parking lot and pedestrian crossing — the bulk of the project’s $335,000 cost. Pending approval from South Surburban’s board of directors, it would cover $100,000.

The parking lot would be located off South Broadway, just north of a business park with Walgreens and Tokyo Joe’s.

“It’s purely conceptual design at this point to see if it will even work,” said Nick Adamson, the metro district’s natural resource manager.

Consequences of Failing to Plan Can Be Disastrous for Families

BY JESS BOLEN JESS@COLORADOESTATEPLAN.COM

I’ve done it. We all have— acted as if what happened to other families who experienced death or disability won’t happen to us. In some respects, it’s the healthy perspective. If we lived our lives expecting everyone else’s misfortunes to befall us, we wouldn’t be able to set foot outside the door. Action is productive, fear is not. Anyone who has Googled their symptoms knows this. What’s productive is calling the doctor and having that test done, so you can stop worrying or get on with treatment.

It’s not the same when it comes to planning for death or disability.

There are no symptoms or pains.

When the question pops up, “How will my family handle end of life decisions for me if I become incapacitated?” it’s easy to leave it unanswered. If the worry arises that children or grandchildren with special needs would be left in the lurch without you, today’s challenges clamor more loudly.

There are countless other concerns associated with not having a plan in place. Even the most tight knit families fall apart in times of death or disability.

Disagreements about care or end of life decisions— or about deciding or interpreting what your wishes really were— can become all out wars.

Then there is the issue of nursing home costs, which can decimate an entire life’s savings.

People try to avoid this by putting property in their adult children’s names. But what if that son or daughter was in a car accident and sued? All that property you ‘safely’ secured in their names is now subject to satisfying a judgment.

Maybe you have a plan but you did it online. The do-it-yourself plans can be even more dangerous because they give you a false sense of security. You need an Estate Plan prepared by experts in Estate Planning, who understand all that can go wrong. And just as you wouldn’t go to a neurosurgeon for orthopedic issues, it’s best to

see an attorney who specializes in Estate Planning.

There will come a time for all of us that unfinished business can no longer be finished, becoming someone else’s problem. For responsible people, the thought of their loved ones having to bear this burden doesn’t sit well. If you’re like I am, you want to be remembered for caring enough to ease this burden.

Hammond Law Group is making it easy to get started with a free Estate Planning Workshop coming to Castle Rock and Castle Pines this month. Their holistic, educational approach doesn’t just focus on financial assets, but addresses all facets of your legacy. Hammond has made a name for itself in Denver and Colorado Springs for being there to take care of protecting your legacy, so you can focus on living it. Get rid of that nagging sensation of unfinished business and live lightly knowing your wishes have been made clear and your family protected.

This is why Catherine went to law school, so she can help other families prepare better than hers did.

Old-school pools to be demolished, replaced Holly, Franklin, Harlow facilities have one more summer before modernization

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After this summer, it will be time to say so long to South Suburban’s old-school pools.

Holly, Franklin and Harlow pools — three of the four outdoor pools in South Suburban Parks and Recreation District’s roster — are slated to be rebuilt with modern versions this fall, and district officials say it’s about time.

“They’ve done a good job, but they’ve run their course,” said Eileen Matheson, South Suburban’s director of recreation.

An audit of the district’s aquatic facilities found that the three pools, all built in the 1960s, don’t meet the expectations of modern swimmers and are suffering from outdated equipment and backlogged maintenance, Matheson said.

The old pools were primarily designed for lap swimming and swim team events, according to an “Aquatics Master Plan” prepared for South Suburban by the Counsilman-Hunsaker consulting firm and ratified by the South Suburban Board of Directors last November.

“Older pools are no longer

COURTESY PHOTO bringing in the swimmers,” according to the master plan.

“They often sit empty while families drive an hour or more to the regional new water park to find recreation value; and they don’t mind paying for it when they find it.”

Meanwhile, the report says, the three pools bear the signs of facilities at the end of their lifecycles: “leaking pool shells, inadequate filtration, current swimming pool

code violations and outdated features.”

“We have issues every year,” Matheson said. “We can’t do Band-Aids anymore.

We found it would be cheaper to demolish them and start over. It would cost millions just to get to the pipes beneath the pools.”

The replacement pools will incorporate features geared toward the desires of a wide range of users, the report says.

Harlow Pool, at Lowell Boulevard and Belleview Avenue, will get a “sprayground” featuring bubblers, water cannons and geysers. It will also get a new water slide, but will keep three traditional lap lanes.

Franklin Pool, at Franklin Street and Panama Drive, will get a “tot pool” with a ramped entry and spray features, and the main pool will feature a rope swing, diving board and water slide. The

pool will retain six lap lanes.

Holly Pool, at Holly Street and Arapahoe Road, will get a small “leisure pool” with a zero-depth entry, a “lazy river,” and a six-lane lap pool with a rope swing, diving board and water slide.

All told, the three projects are expected to cost about $10.5 million, according to the master plan.

The pools will remain open through the summer of 2019, Matheson said, with the new pools expected to open in time for Memorial Day 2020.

South Suburban board member Susan Pye called the project a good idea.

“I absolutely think it’s necessary,” Pye said. “These pools are in really bad condition, and we did a lot of community outreach. I feel confident we captured what people wanted, and can achieve that in a fiscally responsible way.”

The board plans to finalize the plans in May, Pye said.

Pye said swimmers have more options now than they did in the 1960s, including apartment complex pools, HOA-provided facilities, and regional draws like Englewood’s Pirate’s Cove water park, but said the old neighborhood pools still mean a lot to a community.

“Kids learn to swim, families get to go on outings and spend time outdoors, and young people can compete on swim teams,” Pye said.

“There’s nothing that’s not good about these places. We just need to keep them up to date and in good order.”

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards accepting applications Four sessions of week-long, expense-paid conference will be held in July

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The program is said to produce leaders, challenge grit and change perspective. The simplicity of the outdoors, combined with the complexity of hundreds of young people from a four-state region, is life changing, organizers say.

It’s the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards — a five-day, expense-paid conference held in July at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. Rotarians from districts 5440 and 5450, covering parts of Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming and Idaho, select the young men and women to attend.

The week features a mix of activities, speakers, small group discussions and large group presentations. In one

activity, for example, participants will find a solution to an issue facing their schools, such as substance use or the pressure of social media.

What makes the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) stand out from other leadership camps is the concept, Denver-area Rotarians say.

“RYLA is not a bunch of old guys standing up preaching to young people how to be a leader,” said Bill manning, of Evergreen, who has been involved with RYLA for 16 years. “What it is, is youth leading youth, peer to peer.”

The conference draws a diverse group of young people, from rural towns in Nebraska and Wyoming to inner-city communities and suburbs of Denver. Head counselors and junior counselors — who have recently gone through the conference as campers — lead with the help of a Rotarian.

Until May 1, students from across the Denver metro area are encouraged to apply online at www.rmryla. org. Any high school sophomore or junior may apply to one of two ses-

THINGS TO KNOW Who: High school sophomores and juniors and middle school seventh-graders What: Week-long, expense-paid conference When: High school sophomores and juniors may apply to one of two sessions, July 14-19 or July 21-26. Seventh-graders may apply to one of two sessions, July 21-26 or July 28-Aug. 2.

Where: High school students will go to the YMCA of the Rockies, 2515 Tunnel Road, Estes Park. Middle school students will go to the Ponderosa Retreat and Conference Center, 15235 S. Furrow Road, Larkspur.

How: Apply online at www.rmryla.org. sions, July 14-19 or July 21-26. Middle school seventh-graders may apply to one of two sessions of the Young Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, held July 21-26 and July 28-Aug. 2.

Rotary International, the sponsor of the conference, covers the fee of

$450 per person.

Local Rotarians, who interview applicants, typically look for students with leadership experience who have excelled in one or more areas of school.

Emily Ostdiek, a head counselor who attended the conference two years ago, participated in student government, her school’s newspaper, DECA and National Honor Society.

But, she said, the people who go to RYLA don’t fit a mold.

“They are going to pick a bunch of different people for a bunch of different reasons,” Ostdiek, from Nebraska, said.

RYLA bettered Ostdiek by increasing her compassion for others and teaching her to listen more, she said.

She looks forward to having a similar impact on this year’s campers.

“In that environment, you’re with people that want you to be your best you,” Ostdiek said. “In that space, you have room to explore and fail, knowing that everyone is going to be lifting you up.”

Amid building boom, city hopes to streamline permits New processes should get everyone on same page, say officials

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Several years into a building boom that has stretched the capacity of the city’s permitting offices, Littleton’s Community Development department is working to streamline the processes that get things done.

“We’ve seen lots of inefficiencies and strained relationships” between the department and permit seekers, Jennifer Henninger, the city’s community development director, said at a March 26 city council study session. “There wasn’t a lot of cohesion or collaboration. The process was unpredictable.”

Community Development is rolling out a slate of efficiency processes as part of a year-long project called Design the Future, Henninger said, with the goal of getting everyone on the same page.

The changes are welcome, Henninger said, as the city grapples with a glut of development activity.

The city approved 85 development projects last year, Henninger said, “and right now we’re processing 67 — and it’s only March. The rate of projects coming in is

increasing.”

The efficiency processes should prove beneficial to homeowners with small-scale projects, said Alyssa Lehto, the city’s permit coordinator.

“We’re now in the process of one-day review,” Lehto said. “If you want to build a deck on your house, you can get it approved the same day, rather than putting your application in the same review cycle as big commercial projects.”

Staff will continue to work on smoothing out review processes, Lehto said.

“We’ve struggled with metrics,” Lehto said. “Say we’re struggling with approving basement finishes — we can identify that issue and innovate and adapt the process, and expand or narrow it as needed.”

Mayor Debbie Brinkman said she was hopeful the new efficiency processes will help residents and stakeholders get questions answered before it rises to the level of a city council problem.

“That’s always been a problem,” Brinkman said. “Citizens come down (to a council meeting), they speak for three minutes, and council can’t respond. It’s the worst environment for meeting their needs… At the end of the day it’s not about yelling at council. It’s about someone who needs help, who needs to understand, who needs a fix… It’s painful for someone with urgency in a situation. This is a healthier way to be more proactive.”

Arapahoe High School teacher suspected of sex assault Sarah Porter, 24, taught Spanish; faces two counts

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arapahoe High School teacher Sarah Porter was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a child on March 22, according to a letter from Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert.

Porter, 24, has been charged with Porter sexual assault on a child by someone in a position of trust and sexual exploitation of a child.

Porter has taught Spanish at the school since August 2018, according to Ewert’s letter. She was an assistant volleyball coach last fall and has been an assistant track coach for the past few weeks.

Porter is accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old boy she

was coaching in track, according to an arrest affidavit.

A tip sent to Safe2Tell, an anonymous reporting system, said that Porter had kissed a student, according to the affidavit.

The student later told investigators that Porter had sent him nude photos and videos of sex acts, and forced herself on the student and threatened him if he resisted, the affidavit says.

Porter is currently being held in the Arapahoe County jail without bond, according to court and jail records.

Porter is the second teacher at Arapahoe High School to be arrested on suspicion of sex assault on a student in recent months.

Drama teacher Ian Ahern was arrested in January and charged with sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust.

Anyone with information in Porter’s case is asked to call the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office at 720-874-4020.

Kyle Frendberg was taken into custody late March 27 and booked in the Douglas County jail on charges of driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident, possession of marijuana paraphernalia and the use of alcohol by an underage person, according a Twitter post from the

Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office. His bond is set at $1,000.

South Metro Fire Rescue responded to the incident around 11:30 p.m.

March 27 near Colorado Boulevard and Copeland Street, according to South Metro’s Twitter.

The sheriff ’s office said Frendberg, who was driving a white Jeep, had been involved in a hit-and-run crash earlier that night near South Broadway and County Line Road. No injuries were reported in either incidents.

Homeowners whose garages were hit have been allowed back in their homes.

Jones District aims for ‘urban open spaces’ 42-acre mixed-use vision differs from surrounding office parks

But Glenn Jones, a cable television pioneer who founded the school and died in 2015 at age 85, also had a vision for a mixed-use type of development in the area.

Plans were initially submitted to the city in March 2013 for the project, which could cost about $1.8 billion to build out, according to Dan Metzger, chief operating officer at owner Brue Baukol Capital Partners.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Imagine if the sprawling sea of office parks on the west side of Interstate 25 was a destination and not just a collection of nondescript buildings and parking lots.

That’s the vision for The Jones District, a 42-acre — mostly vacant — swath of land on East Mineral Avenue in Centennial just north of IKEA. Office users want “an active, vibrant community around their office,” said Chad Brue, a developer with the project, which sits in a dense business corridor between South Yosemite Street and the highway.

It started as Centennial’s first transit-oriented development — designed with proximity to transit and walkability in mind — and it aims to break the mold of the surrounding properties with what developers call a “network of urban open spaces,” according to an open-house presentation March 28 by the developers and City of Centennial staff.

Here’s a look at what could be built as the plans, which require approval by the city, move forward.

A real estate availability sign at The Jones District on March 28, located near East Mineral Avenue along Interstate 25 in Centennial. Plans for the future mixeduse site, still largely undeveloped, are likely to be considered by the city in the coming months.

ELLIS ARNOLD

Who the players are The Opus Group was the developer for the project previously, completing a six-story apartment complex called The Glenn on the land.

But in 2018, Brue Baukol Capital Partners purchased the site, and it looks to develop the remaining land — about 36 acres. Due to the nature of the project, the city must approve Brue Baukol’s plans.

A historic site The Jones District sits in the area of the since-closed Jones International University, which is considered to be the first regionally accredited university to exist fully online. It was founded in 1993, gained accreditation in 1999 and announced its closure in 2015.

In the years before the online-education innovator closed, it faced steep competition — the number of institutions offering online learning, including public schools, had been climbing since the early 2000s.

What could be built The Jones District promises a “network of urban open spaces,” in large part based on its plan to have a long, expansive park run through three blocks of the site, along with a “Jones Plaza” area.

“In other developments, you have to get in your car,” said Brue, the CEO of the development company, at the March 28 presentation in Centennial.

He pointed to the “central promenade,” a pathway envisioned to give easy bike access up South Dayton Street to the RTD light rail station.

The Littleton Symphony Orchestra Jurgen de Lemos, Conducting presents

That stop along I-25 is a central draw for the project — it’s marketed as “The Jones District at Dry Creek Station.”

That path also would lead south on Dayton Street toward the existing Centennial Promenade shopping development and Park Meadows mall.

The Jones project will largely consist of office buildings, which could be 13 to 14 stories high along the highway, but hotel, residential and retail uses also are part of the vision. Retail could sit on the first floor of office or hotel space right outside the light rail station to entice pedestrians, Brue said.

“What is successful around not only Denver, but across the country,” are mixed-use projects, Brue said.

Aside from the 306 units at The Glenn apartments, developers look to add 1,500 more residential units, according to the presentation.

Mitigating impacts By the time the project is finished, the end goal is for parking to entirely be “subterranean, with no surface parking,” Brue said.

A concern raised at the presentation was that the site would be an “eyesore” seen from Willow Creek, a large nearby neighborhood to the west.

Brue argued that because the tall office buildings would sit along the highway, they’d be far enough away not to obstruct the view too direly.

Pot ER visits climb in Denver hospital study Numbers rise threefold since weed became retail product

BY CARLA K. JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Five years after Colorado first legalized marijuana, a new study shows that unwanted effects of cannabis and cannabis products are sending more people to the emergency room.

Inhaled marijuana caused the most severe problems at one large Denver area hospital. Marijuana-infused foods and candies, called edibles, also led to trouble. Patients came to the ER with symptoms such as repeated vomiting, racing hearts and psychotic episodes.

The study, published March 25 in Annals of Internal Medicine, stemmed from tales of tourists needing emergency care after gobbling too many marijuana gummies.

“It was hard to know if these were just anecdotes or if there was a true phenomenon,” said lead author Dr. Andrew Monte of UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital.

Three deaths in Colorado tied to edible products also prompted the study.

Emergency room records from Monte’s hospital show a threefold

increase in marijuana cases since the state became the first to allow sales of recreational marijuana in January 2014. Nearly a third of patients were admitted to the hospital, evidence of severe symptoms, Monte said.

In 2012, the ER saw an average of one patient every other day with a marijuana-caused problem. By 2016, the count was two to three per day.

That’s not enough to swamp the emergency department, Monte said, but it stresses an already burdened system.

Most people can use marijuana safely, Monte said, but with its increased availability and higher THC concentrations, “we may be seeing more adverse drug reactions,” he said.

THC is the part of marijuana that gets people high.

A growing cannabis industry promotes the drug as a cure-all while downplaying dangers, said Dr. Erik Messamore, a psychiatrist at Northeast Ohio Medical University who wasn’t involved in the research.

More than 30 states now allow marijuana for at least medical use.

New Jersey is debating becoming the 11th state to approve recreational pot. The U.S. government considers marijuana illegal.

“You can’t trust the people who sell the drugs to be upfront with the risk,” Messamore said, calling for warning labels similar to those on

Call not to name mass killers gaining traction Criminologists give support to movement, citing attackers’ desire for infamy

BY LISA MARIE PANE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A few months after teen shooters killed 12 classmates and her father at Columbine High School, Coni Sanders was standing in line at a grocery store with her young daughter when they came face to face with the magazine cover.

It showed the two gunmen who had carried out one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history. Sanders realized that few people knew much about her father, who saved countless lives. But virtually everyone knew the names and the tiniest of details about the attackers who carried out the carnage.

In the decades since Columbine, a growing movement has urged news organizations to refrain from naming the shooters in mass slayings and to cease the steady drumbeat of biographical information about them.

Critics say giving the assailants notoriety offers little to help understand the attacks and instead fuels celebritystyle coverage that only encourages future attacks.

The 1999 attack at Columbine, in Jefferson County west of Littleton,

continues to motivate mass shooters, including the two men who recently stormed their former school in Brazil, killing seven people.

The gunman who attacked two mosques in New Zealand earlier this month, killing at least 49 people, was said to have been inspired by the man who in 2015 killed nine black worshippers at a church in Charleston, South Carolina.

Adam Lankford, a criminologist at the University of Alabama, who has studied the influence of media coverage on future shooters, said it’s vitally important to avoid excessive coverage of gunmen.

“A lot of these shooters want to be treated like celebrities. They want to be famous. So the key is to not give them that treatment,” he said.

The notion hit close to home for Sanders. Seemingly everywhere she turned — the grocery store, a restaurant, a newspaper or magazine — she would see the faces of the Columbine attackers and hear or read about them.

Even in her own home, she was bombarded with their deeds on television.

Everyone knew their names. “And if you said the two together, they automatically knew it was Columbine,” Sanders said. “The media was so fascinated — and so was our country and the world — that they really grasped onto this every detail. Time and time again, we couldn’t escape it.”

Criminologists who study mass shootings say the vast majority of

shooters are seeking infamy and soak up the coverage as a guide.

Criminologist urges restraint Just four days after the 2017 Las Vegas concert shooting, which stands as the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, Lankford published a paper urging journalists to refrain from using shooters’ names or going into exhaustive detail about their crimes.

These attackers, he argued, are trying to outdo previous shooters with higher death tolls. Media coverage serves only to encourage copycats.

Late last year, the Trump administration’s federal Commission on School Safety called on the media to refrain from reporting the names and photos of mass shooters. It was one of the rare moments when gun-rights advocates and gun-control activists agreed.

“To suggest that the media alone is to blame or is primarily at fault for this epidemic of mass shootings would vastly oversimply this issue,” said Adam Skaggs, chief counsel for the Giffords Law Center, which works to curb gun violence.

Skaggs said he is “somewhat sympathetic to journalists’ impulse to cover clearly important and newsworthy events and to get at the truth. ... But there’s a balance that can be struck between ensuring the public has enough information ... and not giving undue attention to perpetrators of heinous acts.”

Studies show a contagion effect from coverage of both homicides and suicides.

The Columbine shooters, in particular, have an almost cult-like status, with some followers seeking to emulate their trench-coat attire and expressing admiration for their crime, which some have attributed to bullying. The gunman in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting kept a detailed journal of decades’ worth of mass shootings.

James Alan Fox, a professor at Northeastern University who has studied mass shootings, said naming shooters is not the problem. Instead, he blamed over-the-top coverage that includes irrelevant details about the killers, such as their writings and their backgrounds, that “unnecessarily humanizes them.”

“We sometimes come to know more about them — their interests and their disappointments — than we do about our next-door neighbors,” Fox said.

Law enforcement agencies have taken a lead, most recently with the Aurora, Illinois, police chief, who uttered just once the name of the gunman who killed five co-workers and wounded five officers last month.

“I said his name one time for the media, and I will never let it cross my lips again,” Chief Kristen Ziman said in a Facebook post.

Dogged pursuit of fun Warm weather brings canines back to local off-leash parks

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

t was a long winter, but as the last mountains of snow melted away in parking lots, local dog parks filled back up with rowdy pups.

About a dozen dogs cavorted in Englewood’s Canine Corral on March 27, chasing balls and repeatedly upending water bowls gingerly placed for them by adoring owners.

A few miles away at South Suburban’s Wynetka Ponds Bark Park in Littleton, the crowd was a little thinner but no less rambunctious.

Pedro Arechiga’s dog Bailey, a German shepherd, spent most of his time at the park fixated on a single muddy tennis ball.

Bailey, just under a year old, is a rescue from an abusive breeder in New Mexico, Arechiga said.

“She loves it here,” Arechiga said of Wynetka Ponds, a wide-open field backed by a bucolic old farmhouse and barn. “She finds peace and happiness here. So do I, for that matter.”

Tailoring your resume to fit your sector Don’t stray from the job description: While it’s important to get the personal summary right, provide experience, education and knowledge - it’s still important to align the resume to the job description.

Whether it’s someone skimming or computer software – you want the keywords of your resume, cover letter and personal summary to align with those specified in the job description.

Depending on the industry in which you are aiming to get hired, your resume could be the key to your success. Whether it be a position in the public sector, a technology job or in education – your resume is going to be key to getting your foot in the door.

Government Work There are perks to getting a job in the public sector. A lot of it centers on benefits, security and good hours. But, you have to get the job first. Even if you have all the experience for the job, applying for a public-sector job is completely different than applying with a private company.

When applying for a public position, it’s important to remember that keywords matter less, given a robot isn’t going to be reading it. In fact, your resume should be as humanized as possible given it will be read by actual people, even a group on a hiring committee from multiple departments.

Some tips to remember in applying for a public job include: Keep it traditional: Stick to the look in resume and cover letter that stays professional and doesn’t get too fancy. Use conservative font to

outline your experience, education and achievements.

Follow the steps: Procedures have to be followed in public-sector positions. Deviating from steps outlines in the job description and post could mean you missing the finalist list of candidates for interviews.

Be specific and thorough: While traditionally its been said to keep your resume short and to only one page. However, for a public position, it’s important to provide details.

Share as much pertinent information as possible to state your case for the position.

   NOW HIRING    The Sonshine Center (Infant Care & Early Childhood Learning Center), a ministry of Faith Bible Chapel, has immediate openings for:

• Teacher • Group Leader • Teacher Assistant • Substitute Teacher Pay is competitive and full-time positions are benefit-eligible. Application may be downloaded from www.faith.church/apply.

Please call 303.424.2121 ext. 95627 or email HR@faith.church for more information.

Be personable: As stated above, there is not a robot or quick resume skimmer that decides the best possible candidates to interview. Instead, it is a real person who understands what it takes to work a government job where you likely will deal with the public. They are looking for a true person and not just keywords.

Use clear and concise statements.

Technology Jobs Unlike a government job, unless you are applying for a job in the public sector, getting a tech job requires clear, concise information on your experience, certifications and education.

Personal summary: The first step in creating a resume for a tech job is to knock the personal summary out of the park. With the right wording, expressions and information the personal summary can get you a step forward with the application. However, worded incorrectly, especially when it’s a tech department sifting through the material, you may lose consideration before they even start skimming further down the page.

In a summary paragraph, including the title of the job for which you are seeking, experience and a quick rundown of qualifications.

Skill set: It’s important to really list and be thorough in supplying your qualifications that proves you meet the skill set required for the job in which you are applying. While some outside the tech industry may think they are reading a foreign language, tech industry professionals understand and want to know.

Explain areas in which you are an expert, explain areas you are knowledgable and clearly list areas in which you have experience.

What to leave in, what to leave out: Remember to include the parts of your work history that are relevant to the position. Leave out the rest.

Also, include personal details fitting to the position. Include all information regarding your achievements in the field.

A position in Education Education is one of those fields where you can be hired in either the public or private sector. It’s an area where you have stability in hours worked, and it is also increasingly demanding as much as positions in the education field are in demand.

Getting a job in education requires specific skills as much as it requires experiences and credentials. Some of those skills include adaptability, dedication, creativity and the ability to be an effective communicator.

In creating a good resume and building a career in education, some tips to keep in mind include: Gaining experience: The more experience you have, the more willing institutions are to hire you.

Degrees and certifications: Any time you are teaching, or participating in educating any age group, it’s important to have the degrees required by the schools and institutions. However, it’s just as important to show in a resume that you’ve kept up and evolved. Times change, which requires more certifications, updated practices and proof that you stay with the times.

Appearance matters: We aren’t talking about the clothing you choose or how you sit and carry yourself during an interview – we are talking about the resume. Your resume must have a professional look, be well organized. Remember, even in education, a resume may only be skimmed for up to 30 seconds.

It’s time for teens to start applying for summer jobs It’s the time of year where the school year is wrapping up and teenagers may start thinking about what to do this summer. Instead of just sitting at home and scrolling the iPhone screen, one option is to take advantage of the many job opportunities available today.

This is the time of year where many public and private entities are looking for summer help to provide entertainment and programs to youth and families.

Take Pirates Cove for instance. The Englewood water park is currently seeking lifeguards for the summer with plans to open on May 25. Area teenagers have an opportunity to gain valuable experience, and make up to $12.30 an hour.

Brad Anderson, senior facilities supervisor of aquatics for the Town of Englewood, said getting a summer job as a life guard or with their summer services gives teenagers a great sense of team work.

“The team environment is probably the most important thing,” he said.

“Then, you get to make a difference

in people’s lives. As a lifeguard you save lives, you mentor and you gain a true sense of belonging.”

Anderson said the starting age for hiring lifeguards is 15 as long as they can pass certification requirements.

“We will hire you at any age as long as you come with a willingness to work,” Anderson added.

Other summer programs are also in search of summer help, it just takes some searching on metro government websites in communities such as Castle Rock, Parker,

Lakewood, Golden and others.

Besides something to do over the summer, getting and keeping a summer job has the following benefits for teens: Responsibility Success in the adult world is contingent on what teens learn as kids. A summer job helps them budget their time, understand expectations and thinking about future growth and success.

Financial education A growing number of young people are graduating high school and entering college without any financial knowledge, meaning they can’t manage a budget, fill out financial paperwork or plan ahead. Having a job and managing money over the summer can help educate for the future.

Self-growth Success in a summer job not only earns valuable connections, but also gives local teens the opportunity for self-growth in gain self-esteem in a job well done.

SEASONAL GROUNDSKEEPING JOBS Castle Pines Metro District is looking for several positive workers for its landscape maintenance division for the summer (May – August).

Duties: mowing, trimming, planting, trash removal, misc. jobs and repairs.

Hours: 7 am to 4 pm Mon – Fri.; $12.06 per hour; beautiful environment.

Requirements: 17 years old, clean MVR, reliable, clean / neat appearance.

There’s a very old joke about the man who goes to his doctor and says, Craig Marshall “Doc, every time I hit my hand with Smith a hammer, well, it hurts.”

Doctor says, “Want my advice?

Stop hitting your hand with a hammer.”

I know this is too simple and simplistic for people who are smitten and taken and enamored with social media, but all anyone has to do, to avoid being shamed, chided, and ridiculed, is to quit social media.

Otherwise, your complaints fall on (my) deaf ears.

For many, such as we have become, being on social media is a requisite. It’s not even a choice.

Not being on social media is about as uncool as it gets.

And we all want to be cool, with it, and awesome, don’t we?

I promise you: Someone will breast-feed in public tomorrow, and post an image of it, and then be slammed from here to Dairyland.

(We) can’t seem to resist sharing our special moments with the world, but try, try, try.

I know I am an exception. Not on social media, and don’t have a cellphone. No selfies here. Don’t know what Instagram is or why anyone needs it or wants it. As previously commented: I have no truck with influencers.

Doesn’t anyone think for themselves anymore, and keep to themselves anymore?

Obviously, this column is an outreach, and now and then I have been admonished for something I said.

Just when I thought the debate on this issue would conclude following Proposition 112 being overwhelming defeated in the November 2018 elections, here we are again.

best for my children — and I think we can all agree, well-funded schools are the key to our children receiving the best education. I’m all for giving our elected officials the benefit of the doubt. However, not this time. I genuinely do not think those supporting this bill understand the far-reaching ramifications such an extreme piece of legislation will have on our children’s future. Under this proposed bill, Colorado’s energy industry will suffer greatly resulting in a detrimental decrease in tax revenues allocated schools across our state.

When our sail is attached to someone else’s boat

oo often we seem to attach our sail to someone else’s boat, don’t we? Or, we hitch our wagon to someone else’s horse and let others control or dictate our direction in life. Their goals don’t just become our goals, their goals become the tasks and the to-do’s WINNING we live out each day WORDS as we watch our own dreams fade into the distance.

As an on-again/ off-again entrepreneur trapped inside a corporate executive’s body, I totally get this concept.

There are times when I have built Michael Norton my own boat and set my own sails and have met with tremendous success. And there have been other endeavors where, let’s just say my boat took on too much water, ending my venture with my sails tattered and torn.

But, in both victory and defeat, the sails were mine, the boat was mine, and the dreams and goals were mine.

The concept is not just for entrepreneurs — the idea of having our own goals and dreams is for every-

Our sails are absolutely attached to the right boat or our horses are hitched to the right wagon. Life is good.

The trick is knowing and understanding when we are doing things that are as meaningful and purpose-driven for ourselves as they are for our employer or any organization we serve. Because, believe it or not, there are people and companies out there who still believe that we should be in it for their personal gain and not our own. They set our goals and objectives for us, they establish our quotas, our tasks and to-dos are on their radar as they try and manage our deliverables and results. Good management, strong leadership, and companies with a great “people-driven culture” will know how to motivate the right behaviors and manage the proper expectations and results.

Behavioral health coverage should be protected by law

In 2017, a quarter of a million Coloradans said cost was the reason they did not get the mental health or substance use treatment they needed. BeGUEST cause of this, Colorado families have COLUMN given up custody so their children can get care. Mothers have gone bankrupt to treat their daughter’s addictions.

The need for mental health care knows no socio-economic bounds. Many families have insur- Rep. Lisa Cutter ance and pay monthly premiums, yet because their insurance denies payment for their care, they may have to pay a second time. And because there is a dearth of in-network providers from which to choose, or they are not able to be seen in a timely manner, Coloradans are going out of network seven times more often for mental health and substance use services

than for physical care. When they are able to get mental health care, these providers are reimbursed at rates 30 percent lower than other health providers.

If you have more than one health condition, the situation worsens.

Many Coloradans have both a substance use issue or developmental disability in addition to a mental health condition. These individuals do not get the care they need because of existing coverage loopholes, which frequently consider substance abuse or a development disability as the primary condition from which the mental health issues stems. This leads to denial of coverage for the mental health issue. These individuals must then get care in our emergency rooms or worse yet — our child welfare system or jails.

Two families in my life have experienced similar situations and seen their sons with mental health issues land in jail. Treating people as criminals rather than providing them the treatment they need is shameful. And it only increases costs to the system while leaving people in crisis. Con-

Some of you may be saying to yourself that your situation is different and that I am off base or out of touch with reality, and that’s okay.

What I would say to you is that everyone’s situation is different, some harder, some easier, but at the end of the day we all get to make our own choice when it comes to participating in life, at home and at work.

So how about you? Are you following your own path and setting your own goals? Or are your dreams in the hands of someone else? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can attach our sail to our own boat, it really will be a better than good week.

But here’s the deal, even if we are blessed enough to work for an outstanding boss or company who sets good goals and objectives, communicates expectations and results consistently, and we are happily employed and engaged in what we do, if we do not challenge ourselves to think bigger and set our own productivity goals higher than what the company sets for us, it means we have still just attached our sail to their boat.

Whatever it is we choose to do in this world, we should be the one who sets our own course and we are the ones who should hold ourselves accountable to the results we want to deliver. And we should never do this just for the company or someone else, but we need to do this because it gives us freedom and empowerment as we attach our own sail to our own boat.

Federal and state parity laws require coverage for mental health or substance use conditions equal to that as for physical health conditions. Mental health already carries a stigma that often prevents people from seeking treatment. It is imperative that we equalize treatment, and thus help normalize mental health issues.

That is why I am working with Mental Health Colorado to sponsor a bill that would strengthen and enforce existing laws to protect individuals with mental health and substance use disorders. This bill will eliminate denials for mental health care because an individual also experiences another health condition, such as a traumatic brain injury or developmental disability. It will strengthen prevention and screening laws to shift our system towards early

intervention. And it will eliminate loopholes in current laws so no more Coloradans fall through the cracks.

The World Health Organization recently released a study indicating that for every $1 invested in the United States to treat depression and anxiety, there is a $4 social return on investment. Modernizing our mental health coverage is not only fiscally responsible, it is also the morally right thing to do. Twenty percent of individuals reading this column right now have a diagnosable mental health condition. This bill is for you — to protect you and ensure that when you need help, the last thing you need to worry about is being denied coverage for the treatment you need.

That follows a week of activities beginning on Palm Sunday, aiming to prepare people to reflect on the biblical story of Easter, said the Rev. Brian Winter of Christ’s Episcopal Church.

onvenience is king in today’s consumer market. Entertainment, food and clothing have all seen significant convenience advancements in recent years and now, thanks to Highlands resident Dana Spaulding, wine might be next in line.

With the October launch of her company, Wander + Ivy, Spaulding aims COMING make it easier for ATTRACTIONS to wine drinkers to have a glass without the guilt that comes from not finishing the bottle.

“I was getting frustrated because I would want a nice glass of wine with dinner, but I was certain to waste Clarke Reader it because I’d only want one glass,” Spaulding explained.

“My husband, Gus, asked me if I was going to waste another bottle of wine and that started me thinking about alternatives.”

Spaulding started exploring the single serve options in the market but couldn’t find something she really enjoyed. She wanted a more premium package and product for the casual drinker and so Wander + Ivy, which offers four wines — rosé, sauvignon blanc, pinot noir and a red blend — in 6.3-ounce wine bottles was born.

The October launch was the result of more than a year of research and preparation, which included getting her sommelier certification, branding groundwork and finding vineyards that can offer organic products.

“I was looking for natural and organic ingredients in my wine, and I couldn’t find that in most single-serve options,” Spaulding explained. “I found it really interesting to explore what the organic ingredient movement means for wine. The same reasons people eat organically, they should also drink.”

In the handful of months since she launched Wander + Ivy, Spaulding has already found a home for her wines in about 60 liquor stores in the state, including Littleton, Denver and Wheat Ridge. Her dedication to the local community extends to the company’s standing as an One Percent For the Planet member. This means Wander + Ivy donates 1 percent of gross profits to Colorado charities.

From brunch to church services to egg hunts, there are many ways to celebrate Easter in 2019.

Egg hunts, brunch, church services abound for holiday

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

here’s a common theme on listings for Easter egg hunts in the Denver Metro area.

Don’t be late. The events begin precisely on time — and they’re over in a flash.

Cynthia Bauman knows exactly why. When the Golden Kiwanis Club holds its annual Easter egg hunt at Parfet Park, it’s a sight to behold, she said. Volunteers disperse roughly 6,000 colored eggs “scattered like gum drops all over the park.” They divide kids into three age groups, and at 10 a.m. sharp, volunteers ring the bell.

Then chaos, albeit adorable chaos, unfolds.

“At 10:03 it’s over. The eggs are like vacuumed off the lawn. It’s amazing,” Bauman said.

From lightning-speed Easter egg hunts to church services to Sunday brunch, there are plenty of ways for Denver metro families to celebrate

Organizers at Denver metro area egg hunts say hundreds and thousands of children flock to events for egg hunts that take seconds.

Palm Sunday and Easter this year.

Local event organizers say they look to bring people together in a variety of ways on the holiday.

more than 1,000 stores around the country by the end of 2020, the release said.

Renovations for each location will range in scope and be tailored to the needs of local guests, according to the news release. Shoppers can expect to see: • Upgraded merchandising displays and additional mannequins that showcase how different products work together.

• Specialty lighting and modern décor and colors with increased sight lines so guests can explore even more as they walk through the space.

• Separate order pickup and guest service counters to ensure an easier and faster experience for guests picking up online orders.

• The addition of a nursing space for new moms.

Since opening its first store in Denver nearly 40 years ago, Target has continued to invest in the community with 5,000 team members working at its 26 area stores, the release said.

On Easter Sunday, April 21, they hold two services, wrapping up the week of festivities with a brunch and Easter egg hunt.

“We have lots of visitors on Easter,” Winter said. “There is no judgment as you come in. Whether you’re here every Sunday or just Easter and Christmas, all are welcome.”

Also in Castle Rock is the annual “Special Egg Hunt” hosted by Front Range Church at Douglas County High School. Organizer Jenifer Prosser says the public event caters to children young and old but also to families with special needs. They hold it on April 13, starting at 11 a.m., so families aren’t overwhelmed with too many events on Easter weekend.

They have traditional egg hunts but also ones designed for mobilityimpaired children, egg hunts that use beepers for visually impaired children, and a sensory-friendly hunt.

They expect about 2,000 people this year. Prosser said they get emails after each event from families whose child was able to attend an egg hunt for the first time because of the inclusive activities.

“We just want to bridge that gap and meet families where they are,” Prosser said.

There are also those who show up on Easter Sunday and show up hungry.

For those families, Donna Charbonnier of Ciancio’s Restaurant in Westminster is ready to take care of them. The eatery located at the Greg Mastriona Golf Courses at Hyland Hills is a family operation run by Charbonnier and her brother. For nearly 10 years they

“Skeleton Crew” at Curious Theatre. Cast: Cajardo Lindsey (Reggie), Kristina Fountaine (Shanita), Perri Gaffney (Faye), Quin Marchman (Dez).

Car factory at heart of stage production ‘Skeleton Crew’ is strong show from Curious Theatre

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The setting is the break room at a Detroit auto plant, with a high window that looks out onto the assembly line, a cavernous space beyond. There is a block of small personal lockers, a strip with sink, refrigerator, coffee maker … We don’t get the associated factory noise, but a series of animated films streamed across that window somehow imply it, in a clever set detail for Dominique Morriseau’s “Skeleton Crew” at Curious Theatre through April 13.

It is part of a three-play series: “The Detroit Project,” which gave us “Detroit 67” last season. Curious’ director donnie l. betts, a longtime part of Denver’s theater community, said it tells “of those with less opportunity to prosper.” Characters, especially Faye (strong actress Perri Gaffney), who is approaching a 30-year anniversary, seem locked into a particular culture of auto workers and have difficulty seeing beyond the world shown. (Framed l in by that window.)

Faye represents the many, many, workers, in Detroit and elsewhere, who are driven by a way of life and work that may also have been their parents’ way … The management figure is foreman Reggie (Cajardo Lindsey, a familiar local face) and younger cast members/workers Shanita (Kristina Fountaine) and Quinn Marchman (Dex), who is saving money to buy his own garage — although his ability to run a business might be questioned, with his hot-tempered responses.

The younger characters show a different attitude toward authority and

how the world seems to work, but are also feeling Curious Theatre is off-center with in a 19th-century the rumor that church at 1080 S. Acoma St., Denver the plant’s about to close. One (Golden Triangle feels tension in district). There is free parking avail- the air, swirling the smoke from able — get a slip for your dash if you Kaye’s cigarettes.

Kaye is suppospark in the credit union lot. Tickets: edly the union curioustheatre.org, rep. but feels helpless against the 303-623-0524. system. “Working Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, in this industry is what I do.”

Friday, Saturday; Reggie’s mama 2 p.m. Sunday was her friend, so through April 13. there’s almost a family connection. But she has another issue.

Conversations continue through several days in that break room. Stories surface that the plant was robbed last night. Bits of 1960s music tie scenes together and are especially effective, we thought.

We care about these characters and when Faye says “I make my moves day to day,” this person who runs on a schedule of deadlines and thoughts about what’s happening next week, cringes and wants to offer help as well — as Reggie does! Faye had thought of making it to 30 years, retiring and then heading to Miami … With the threat of a pink slip any day, she’s up a creek.

“My mama loved you. She’d slap me good if I didn’t help you …” Reggie says.

Faye asks: “Let me stay one more night. I need to figure it out on my own.” He answers: “I’ll stay here with you …”

We’d recommend this strong production to our readers.

Painting ‘from the inside out’ Local artist finds inspiration after serious head injury

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

J

ames Holmes admits he never used to be able to “connect” with abstract art.

The 56-year-old Parker man said he never appreciated the art form. Abstract concepts, to him, a 17year board member of the Denver Art Museum, never existed in his mind.

Holmes is the CEO and executive director of the Cherokee Ranch and Castle Foundation in Sedalia and has a passion for riding horses. Standing in the Deep Space Lounge in downtown Parker March 19, Holmes said he never would have guessed he would be here, talking about how he became an abstract artist and about his pieces hanging on the wall for his first art show.

“I could never really think abstractly before,” Holmes said. “It wasn’t the way I was wired.”

In February 2018, Holmes broke his neck after being bucked from a horse on a day trip to Cherry Creek State Park. He also sustained a closed head injury, when a blow to the head causes the brain to knock against the skull.

He received emergency surgery and doctors warned him he could become paralyzed or die from the procedure.

Holmes came out of the procedure with little pain and few complications. But his neck was stiff, his head felt fuzzy and he couldn’t ride horses for most of the following spring and summer.

Holmes’ wife, Wendy, said that was the beginning of him discovering his new passion.

“He’s always been a very active person and, at times, in high-risk sports,” said Wendy Holmes, who works as

James Holmes describes one of his earliest paintings and how the imagery from the piece came to him.

James Holmes, 56, found a new passion for painting abstract art following a serious neck and head injury last year. His first art show is currently on display at the Deep Space Lounge in downtown Parker.

the director of communications and public affairs for Douglas County. “For him to be in a position where he could not be with his horses, could not be active for so long — I told him that I thought it might be good for him if he couldn’t ride his horses, maybe he should paint them.”

‘Miracle of the accident’ Patients who sustain closed head injuries often experience some kind of personality change, according to the Mayo Clinic. Most eventually revert back to their old selves, while others don’t ever quite come back.

Holmes said since his injury some of his personality has changed. He can’t improvise on guitar like he used to. His brain felt “foggy” during much of his recovery and does, on occasion, still today.

And, somehow, he found a talent for abstract painting.

As a child, he enjoyed drawing and painting certain objects, but hadn’t created much art since then. After the accident, he found peace in creating abstract art, where shape and form are simplified.

“All of this stuff is a miracle of the accident,” Holmes said. “Hopefully, the gateway is open and now I’m feeding it enough to where it will become part of my normal `artistic diet.’ ” In most of his paintings, Holmes finds people. They don’t usually appear to him at first. The figures only appear hours later, when Holmes “meets the painting in the morning.”

In one painting he sees a woman’s face. Another shows an angel almost hidden, surrounded by blue and white paint. It’s unintentional, Holmes said.

Holmes has found his subconscious come to life through his work.

“Something occurred after his accident where it was like a muse came to visit him,” said Stephanie Hill Newton, a friend and fellow artist. “When a muse comes to see us, we have a choice to grab on and follow that muse where it wants to take us, or choose to let it pass us by. He chose to grab his

muse and hasn’t let that muse go.”

A change of pace Almost every piece hanging in the Deep Space Lounge marks a point in Holmes’ newfound appreciation of life. He takes things more slowly. He tries to live in the moment.

Karla Raines has been Holmes’ friend since 2002. She began painting in 2012 and said Holmes’ work as an artist has been nearly the opposite of who he has been his entire life — a man interested in fast-paced, highenergy action.

“James’ work has a serenity to it, and there’s almost an additional, emotional, visual component to it that is a direct connection to who he is spiritually and how he’s connected to his emotions,” Raines said. “I think what I’ve seen with James is immense continuity in terms of character of the person and his deep passion for the things that capture him.”

A couple nights per week, Holmes returns to his basement art studio, turns on some Pearl Jam or Jack White, and paints. He starts with a base of white paint, then begins to SEE ARTIST, P34

‘Tangible Terrain’ has unusual touch Show features work of four artists during theater run

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Four area artists will exhibit works in a variety of mediums during the theater run of “The World Goes Round” at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center. They are Stephanie O’Malley, photography; Herb Dreo, wood carving; Vanessa Martin, botanical drawing; and Andi Burum, a special collage technique.

Their “Tangible Terrain” exhibit runs through April 28 and is open weekdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and during productions.

Exhibits are intended to have some relationship to the production that’s running onstage upstairs, which is fun to contemplate. In this case, title, materials and subjects would seem to connect, be it a carved wooden owl, a poppy photo or …

• Stephanie O’Malley was inspired by her father to take up her art form. “I loved everything about it, including the gadgetry, the smell of the local camera store and the glory of seeing images being born on paper in the darkroom.

The digital world has opened up a new universe of possibilities. I am intrigued by the small miracles surrounding us that go unnoticed, such as weeds, insects and wild flowers.

Vibrant colors and intricate detail are hallmarks of my work.” O’Malley is also director of education at Center for the Arts in Evergreen.

• Andi Burnum writes: “You can regularly find me hunched over my desk, tweezers in hand, obsessively searching through magazines for the perfect color. My art is created by tearing magazines (mostly National Geographic) and gluing them together to form pictures that from a distance, appear to be oil paintings.” She has been refining her technique for 18 years and says her subject matter includes “soulful dogs and cows.” She has a herd of red Angus she likes to hang out with and

“Woodcarving” by Herb Dreo is included in the Tangible Terrain exhibit ate Town Hall’s Stanton Gallery. lives in Evergreen with husband, dogs and cats … She also does dog portrait commissions and mosaic art.

• Herb Dreo is a wood carver who inherited his tools and talent from his father, a master carver from Austria — and additional carving tools from his father-in-law. He says his hobbies are outdoor-oriented: skiing, biking, and being in the mountains. Drawing lessons helped him become a better carver. He also enjoys turning bowls and other objects on his lathe. His work is in three Colorado galleries.

• Vanessa Martin lives in Aurora — on Colorado’s plains, where flora grow that inspire her. She trained as a botanical illustrator at Denver Botanic Gardens and fuses art and science within that tradition. She works in a variety of mediums: intaglio, watercolor, colored pencil. Her work is on display at Lakewood Art Gallery and she has exhibited widely in the metro area.

The exhibit was curated by Moira Casey, a local artist who has recently started a business as a curator/art consultant as well. She has been involved with the Stanton Gallery for several years. (liveheARTful.com)

Irish storyteller among presenters at conference Story Seeds event features local, national and international storytellers

BY STAFF REPORT

Those who love telling stories, as well as those who love to listen to them, will enjoy three events planned during the Rocky Mountain Storytelling Conference April 12-13 at the American Mountaineering Center at 710 10th St. in Golden.

Rocky Mountain Storytelling, a nonprofit, volunteer-led organization based in Golden, presents a conference, a public concert and a story slam during its Story Seeds Conference and Concert.

“We are very excited to bring the annual conference and concert back to Golden this year,” Rocky Mountain Storytelling President and Board Member Kate Lutz said in a news release. “It has become more important than ever to preserve the art of storytelling as the age of digital communication continues to boom. We feel this event is the perfect way to hear some fascinating storytellers and inspire a new generation to learn how to both share and enjoy this art.”

The public concert, “Friday Evening Stories in Concert,” begins at 7 p.m. April 12 and features Irish storyteller Liz Weir; author, performer and educator Angel Vigil; and bilingual storyteller and podcaster Carolina Quiroga-Stultz.

The concert is targeted to an adult

audience; children older than 10 are welcome.

The Story Seeds conference is April 13 from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Weir will give the keynote presentation, and workshops are led

by Glenda Bonin, Mark Goldman, Yvonne Healy, Maureen Korte, Julie Moss and Elaine Muray. Laura Deal, Pam Faro, Yvonne Healy, Elaine Muray, Susan Scott-Stevens, John Stansfield and 2018 RMS Story Slam Winner Dave Starr also will perform.

Conference ticket price includes lunch, the Friday concert and a ticket to the story slam, which will follow the conference at 7 p.m. April 13. The story slam includes personal and traditional tales on the theme of “illusion.”

Attendees are invited to bring

their best five-minute story and put their name in a hat. Ten storytellers will be chosen to perform, and a panel of judges will determine the winner and award a prize. Storytellers are not allowed to bring notes on the stage.

“The concert, conference and slam will be filled with stories that entertain, delight and make you think,” Lutz said in the release.

DISC GOLF FROM PAGE 4

South Suburban is closing its existing disc golf course east of David A. Lorenz Regional Park, 8422 S Colorado Blvd., on April 14 as it begins construction on a new facility. That has some players of the sport worried about their options in the south metro Denver area.

In the competitive game of disc golf, players throw plastic discs at elevated, stationary metal baskets placed throughout natural terrain.

The concept is similar to traditional golf — you want to hit a target in the least number of throws.

“It’s really just hiking and throwing,” Chris Reed, an avid disc golfer from Highland Ranch, said.

Highlands Ranch has an existing nine-hole course, Martin Walworth Disc Golf at Grace Presbyterian Church, off Sante Fe Drive, between Town Center and Highlands Ranch Parkway. Some high schools in the area also utilize courses, which have limited hours for the public.

In its 2016 capital improvement planning process, the metro district added a disc golf course to its three-year project forecast, with proposed imple-

program.

mentation occurring in 2019. Such a course would enhance recreational opportunities in the community, according to metro district staff.

At the March 26 meeting, Reed and several other disc golfers — from Highlands Ranch and surrounding communities — voiced their support for the proposed Highlands Ranch course. The sport, which they describe as competitive, convenient and familyoriented, has a strong following in the metro Denver area, they said.

“It’s kind of surprising, with Highlands Ranch and what a great community it is, that there is not a good disc golf course,” resident Janell Smith said. “It’s a great sport at the activity level, it’s inexpensive for people.”

Aside from the occasional mowing, maintenance of the type of course is relatively low, according to Adamson.

In the next month, Adamson and his staff will bring before the board a conceptual design for the parking lot, as well as feedback from adjacent businesses and neighbors. Metro district staff will mail postcards to property owners and go door-to-door, according to Adamson.

As for a timeline on the disc golf course, Adamson said: “We don’t have a determined date at this time. We want to first make sure that we’ve heard from the community.”

Digging into gardening Seniors gather for beginners tips at local garden center

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

O

n what felt like one of the first official days of spring, a few dozen gathered at Tagawa Gardens to take down some tips on raising plants effectively.

The audience on March 28 asked questions and followed along, including during a “pest or friend?” activity, in which Linda Larsen, a garden adviser at Tagawa, showed images of different insects to talk about whether they pose a threat.

Asked afterward what her favorite part of teaching is, Larsen said: “Causing success — hopefully,” with a smile.

Larsen lives in the Parker area, grew up in a gardening family and has been gardening “forever,” she said. She offered more advice for beginners.

“Contact those who know — attend

classes, go where there’s experience,” Larsen said. “Stay local because we can’t do the things other (regions) can do” with gardening.”

Charlotte and Terry Quarton, 71 and 73, were among the crowd.

“We had a lot of great knowledge,” Charlotte Quarton said.

The married pair live in Centennial and have a garden in their back yard.

“We’ve had rabbits and Japanese beetles this year,” she said, referencing a topic Larsen covered. “We just wanted a refresher course.”

Tagawa Gardens sits at 7711 S. Parker Road in Centennial. The event was put on as part of the Centennial Active Seniors events program by the Centennial Senior Commission, which advises the Centennial City Council on matters affecting seniors. For more information on the Active Seniors program, visit www.centennialco.gov/residentservices/active-seniors-program.aspx, or call 303-754-3316.

Timeline Developers haven’t yet reached the formal application stage with the city, said Neil Marciniak, Centennial’s economic development manager. The project isn’t a “done deal,” he added. What’s more, the whole project may take about two more decades to build.

Brue Baukol presented its vision to city council in a December study session meeting, and a focus group met in February and will meet again at an undetermined date to give input. That group is made up of representatives from homeowners associations within one mile of the site.

The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission — citizens who make development recommendations to council — will decides whether the plans meet the city’s code. If approved, the plan moves to city council, which makes the final decision on whether the plans meet code. That would likely not happen until summer, according to city staff.

Quality depth is important for any good high school basketball team.

That’s why there are seven players each on the 2018-19 boys and girls Colorado Community Media All-South Metro teams.

Players are eligible from schools in the Douglas County and Littleton districts, plus Valor Christian, Englewood, Cherry Creek and Lutheran high schools. The team was selected by the CCM sports staff, with input from coaches.

Castle View’s Chase Hettinger, Julian Hammond III of Cherry Creek and Brendan Temple of Douglas County are the top scorers with 22.1, 20.5 and 17.6 scoring averages, respectively, on the boys team, and they have plenty of point support from the rest of the players.

Kobe Sanders of Chaparral is one of the leaders, along with teammate Tanner Giles. Austin Holt of ThunderRidge and Ben Grusing of Mountain Vista are consistent, steady, reliable all-star performers.

Guard Jana Van Gytenbeek of Cherry Creek heads the girls team with her ability to stand out in crunch time as she led the Bruins to the Class 5A state championship.

Freshman Raegan Beers of Valor Christian, Kasey Neubert of Highlands Ranch and Cali Clark of Cherry Creek provide inside scoring punch and rebounds. Beers was the top scorer in the CCM coverage area with an 18.9 average.

Twin sisters have thrill of being on two state title teams

S

tate championships should never be taken for granted.

They are just too hard to attain.

Twin sisters Eliza and Nicole Hill, however, have been on two state championship teams in the last 12 months.

Eliza won the state’s No. 2 singles tennis championship for Cherry Creek last spring at the state tennis tournament. Nicole captured the No. 3 singles title and helped the Bruins win the state team title.

Then, last month the sisters were on the Bruins’ Class 5A state championship girls basketball team.

“It felt amazing, it was so different in basketball,” said Eliza. “For Creek, that was the first state basketball championship. It was such an amazing feeling and my teammates were incredible. For tennis, it was really exciting too, but we’ve been doing that for 35 years.”

According to Nicole, the team aspect of basketball is a big difference from tennis.

“Basketball was really, really fun,” she said. “It was more special to win it in basketball, because in tennis it was really special for me to win an individual title and a team title, but it is so much harder in basketball and there were so many good teams this year.

J o in u s at a 9H e a lt h Fa ir n e a r yo u !

OVERTIME

“Highlands Ranch, Grandview, Valor Christian and Regis were really strong. It was special because Cherry Creek has never won a girls state basketball title. In tennis we’ve won 35 state titles.

Jim Benton Just to make history in basketball was pretty special. I couldn’t stop smiling for two weeks after winning the basketball state championship.”

Eliza played in 22 games for the basketball team, averaging 1.5 points and 2.4 rebounds. Nicole suffered a concussion in practice and played in just 16 games while averaging 1.4 points and 1.6 rebounds.

Nicole hopes to be cleared to play tennis later this spring.

“I have to be honest with you,” said Nicole. “Eliza and I were very, very proud benchwarmers this season. I would say I am better at tennis than basketball but I really love both sports.

“Both are so different but each of them have such amazing qualities that helps the other. Like footwork in basketball helps me stay in shape for tennis and be able to handle all that. And the mental game in tennis

is super helpful for basketball.”

Eliza and Nicole, the 6-foot-1 sophomores, started playing tennis when they were young but it took some prodding to play organized basketball since the Hill family lived in Madrid, Spain for over a decade.

“My whole family are tennis players so I started playing ever since I could hold a racket,” explained Eliza. “We grew up in Spain. And in Spain it is a little bit different. Not many people are student athletes.

You are either going to become an athlete and go pro or maybe get a scholarship and go play Division I tennis in the U.S. or you are going to be a really good student.

“My parents didn’t want that.

They grew up in the U.S. and they wanted us to play sports as well as be athletes. There wasn’t a basketball team but Mom went around talking to every single girl and parent that we knew asking them if they would play basketball. We started a girls basketball team. That was in third grade and I’ve been playing ever since.”

And winning state titles in two sports.

Cohlton Schultz ends amazing preps career Ponderosa student named South Metro Wrestler of Year

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During his senior season at Ponderosa High School, Cohlton Schultz didn’t leave behind any doubts that he is one of the best-ever Colorado high school wrestlers.

Schultz won his fourth consecutive state championship at the CHSAA State Championships Feb. 14-16 when he pinned Legend’s Colin Lavell in 52 seconds in the title match.

He became the 24th wrestler to win four state titles. Schultz won two at 220 pounds and the last two in the 285-pound weight class.

Schultz amazingly never lost a point all season, had a 46-0 record and finished four years of wrestling at Ponderosa with a 188-2 record. In his four state tournament title conquests, he won 15 of 16 matches by pins.

He is the 2019 Colorado Community Media South Metro Wrestler of the Year.

Tim Yount is a guru of high school wrestling in Colorado and publishes the On The Mat rankings each season.

He claims Schultz is one of the state’s best.

Cohlton Schultz of Ponderosa, top, has been named Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Wrestler of the Year.

JIM BENTON all four years. Some might argue that point but he is so, so gifted that few will be able to do what he has done in Colorado and the many out-of-state tournaments where he has met some amazingly great competition.”

Schultz went into each match with

“It is one thing to win matches, another to dominate every match,” said Yount. “He never made it to the second period this year. I can’t recall that every happening.

“Cohlton might be the best kid to ever compete at the high school level

a simple plan.

“I have a game plan going into every match but I am willing to take whatever my opponent gives me,” he explained. “If I put him on his back, I want to finish him every time.

“Being a big guy as a freshman, I wasn’t the biggest or the strongest. I was able to use a little bit of my savvy or whatever. Now my physical ability has caught up with me a little bit and it feels good. It has definitely been a grind. It’s been a lot of hard work, a lot of hours, but I’ve got a hold on it and it feels real good.”

Schultz, who won the Cadet Greco World Title in 2017, will wrestle next year at Arizona State and possibly in the 2020 Olympics.

“I love Colorado,” he said. “I was born and raised in Colorado. It will always have a special place in my heart. It will mean a lot to represent Colorado on a national stage.

“The Olympics is a definite possibility. Outside of high school matches, I’m in there wrestling with some of the best guys in the world. I’m right there with them. I know it’s something I can do and I will make sure I put in the work to get there.”

Yount and many wrestling fans will continue to watch Schultz.

“He is a joy to watch,” said Yount.

“I am so looking forward to his career at ASU and the next level. He will continue to make Colorado proud for many years to come.”

The Bible SpeakS: Success The March 14, 2019 Littleton Independent featured an editorial on success that emphasized that “you are the secret to your own success”. It said that our attitude, motivation, self-image & behavior are critical to whatever success we have in our personal, social or business life.

But when it comes to our spiritual life the exact opposite is true. We neither must be, nor can we be, dependent on ourselves to be “successful” with God. Titus 3:4-7 says that we are saved “not by righteous things we have done but by God’s mercy”. Eph 2:8,9 says “…by grace [we] are saved thru faith…not by works…”. So to be “successful” with God we must rest in what He has done for us via the death of His Son, Jesus Christ. Believe it today & enjoy eternal success. hfsmail@basicisp.net

Denver native Freeland feels at home atop Rockies rotation Left-handed pitcher hopes to help take team to title in NL West

BY PAT GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS

Denver native Kyle Freeland wears the affection for his city on his right arm: Tattoos of the area code (303), the elevation (5,280) and a silhouette of the Rocky Mountains.

With his left, there’s the ability to carry the Colorado Rockies to even greater heights.

Since it’s the team he grew up rooting for, Freeland takes immense satisfaction in the Rockies’ recent run of success. The homegrown hurler hopes to deliver something else this season along the way to what would be a third straight postseason appearance: Colorado’s first NL West title.

“I take a ton of pride of being a part of this team, that is winning and that is trending up,” Freeland said. “I take pride in being from Colorado, being a product of the school system in Denver and everything that my life has been leading up to these past couple of years. It’s just pure pride. I love the state, love the city, and I can’t imagine

growing up anywhere else.”

Freeland is coming off a strong season in which he finished 17-7 with a 2.85 ERA. He wound up fourth in the NL Cy Young voting in part because of a 2.40 ERA at Coors Field, which was the lowest home mark in team history.

So much for being rattled by the hitter-friendly park. Then again, he went to high school in the area and became accustomed to pitching at altitude.

“It’s kind of nice to shove it back in some people’s faces who doubt the pitching at Coors Field or pitching for the Rockies,” Freeland said. “We’re starting to show people it doesn’t matter if you’re high altitude or sea level, if you can pitch you can pitch.”

As a kid, Freeland watched this team go through numerous valleys with an occasional peak (like 2007, when the Rockies made their only World Series appearance). That’s why last season was so special, with Colorado in the NL West chase all the way to the end, before the team lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a tiebreaking game.

Freeland got the call to start the postseason. He tossed 6 2/3 masterful innings on short rest in a 2-1, 13-inning win over the Chicago Cubs in the NL wild-card game. That was his final start of the season as the Rockies were swept by the Milwaukee Brewers

in the NL Division Series. German Marquez, another bright spot in the rotation, made Colorado’s lone start at home.

The season was another step in the right direction for the Rockies, who made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time in franchise history.

“You start getting addicted to that feeling. You want more. You want to get deeper into the playoffs,” Freeland said .

Given his heavy workload — a career-high 202 1/3 innings — he really didn’t start throwing until January.

Other than that, he kept his offseason routine pretty much the same.

“You can always improve,” said Freeland, who turns 26 on May 14.

“Because if you’re not looking to improve yourself in this game at this level, that you’ve figured it out, you’re wrong and you’re going to get hit in the mouth pretty hard the following season.”

Freeland was originally drafted in the 35th round out of Thomas Jefferson High School by Philadelphia.

Instead of signing, he went to the University of Evansville, where he posted a 1.90 ERA his final season. He was taken by Colorado with the No. 8 overall pick in 2014.

He made the squad in 2017 and went on to win 11 games during his rookie season. His most notable start that season was against the Chicago White Sox when he came within two outs of the first no-hitter by a Rockies pitcher at Coors before surrendering a crisp single to Melky Cabrera.

Freeland was the model of consistency last season with 24 quality starts.

“With Kyle, there’s always a desire to get better,” manager Bud Black said. “He’s talented and he has a good head on his shoulders.”

As for having his name mentioned alongside the likes of New York’s Jacob deGrom, Washington’s Max Scherzer and Philly’s Aaron Nola — the trio who finished ahead of him in last year’s NL Cy Young vote — now that was humbling.

“It shows you that you belong there and you can compete,” Freeland said.

“I’m excited to see where it takes me.”

About those tattoos along his right arm — simply his pride showing through.

“I love pitching here, love having the support group I have from friends, family and the entire fan base,” Freeland said. “Being a hometown kid, this is great. It would be a little weird to be somewhere else.”

‘If it’s predictable, it’s preventable’

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the event of an emergency situation, communication and experience is invaluable, South Metro Fire Rescue Training Capt. Chris Wells said. So, they practice it.

The Regional Transportation District, South Metro Fire Rescue and Lone Tree Police Department drilled an emergency scenario on the newly built light rail track, part of the Southeast Rail Extension project, March 23. The three agencies practiced responding to an emergency on the bridge between the new Sky Ridge and RidgeGate stations.

“What’s important is, and what adds another level of difficulty, is this is taking place on a bridge,” said RTD spokeswoman Lisa Trujillo. “What it does is it helps everyone test their communication and response efforts just in case this happens in real life, and this is a safe, closed environment to do so.”

The first responders were not given the scenario beforehand to simulate a live emergency situation. RTD facilitated the drill.

The drill scenario was of a man who had trespassed on the tracks and was struck by and stuck underneath a train. Rescue workers drilled treating and moving passengers who sustained injuries. The drill lasted about two hours.

South Metro firefighters drill rescuing injured passengers from a light rail train stopped on a bridge March 23 during a routine training session on the newly laid light rail track. The Regional Transportation District facilitates these drills on new projects to familiarize first responders with the area.

PHOTOS BY NICK PUCKETT In the drill, after the passengers were evacuated, the firefighters jacked up one side of the train to access underneath and used a service crane to provide equipment.

“Whenever we do preparedness drills like this, it’s important to remember the train is live with electricity, so before any responders can approach the train, RTD has to turn the power off in order to make it safe for the first responders to tend to the passengers,” Trujillo said.

RTD completes emergency drilling scenarios with each newly constructed project. The drills are meant to

help familiarize the first responders with the new track and some of the unique aspects of the area, like the bridge that crosses over I-25 to East RidgeGate.

“We don’t even have maps here because it hasn’t been fully constructed yet. It added to that dimension of the unknown,” Wells said.

“What we found is if it’s predicable, it’s preventable… That’s why we’re doing this, so we have as much information and understanding before an incident occurs so we can function at a high level in the case of an actual emergency.”

When a train is stuck on a track with limited accessibility, like on the bridge that crosses over I-25, equipment may be transferred through an additional train.

The training session March 23 was meant to simulate an emergency situation as closely as possible to prepare first The Southeast Rail Extension will officially open for public use May 19, with a grand opening scheduled two days before that. The project includes 2.3 miles of new track laid south from the Lincoln Station and three new stations.

“Communications between the three agencies is always challenging, so to make sure we understand if we wait 20 to 30 minutes into the scene before we unify our command, it really is chaotic,” Wells said. “This really proved how important it is to unify our command early on.”

about any demonstrated impact on suicide it would have and also its reduction of Second Amendment rights.

Neither seems to address any of the many underlying causes.

While mental illness is certainly one cause, there are several societal causes that need to be addressed and corrected. Some are: the reduction in the sanctity of life (abortion, assisted death for the elderly), Net-Flix videos (“13 Reasons Why,” specifically), violence in movies and video games, broken home life, bullying, and the lack of moral guidelines and boundaries. Those close to specific cases of suicide could probably add more.

As Victor said, all need to help reduce suicide: individuals, clergy, parents, teachers, mental health professionals, counselors and especially the media. A solution is possible if directed to specific causes by specific people.

Time to end death penalty A society that respects life does not deliberately kill human beings. The death penalty sends the message that violence is the most effective solution to problems.

The National Research Council reviewed more than three decades of research and found no credible evidence that the death penalty deters violent criminal acts. In fact, from 2000-2010, the murder rate in states with capital punishment was 25-46 percent higher than states without it. Police chiefs ranked the death penalty last among effective ways to reduce violent crime.

Limited funds that could be used to prevent crime are wasted on capital punishment. A death penalty trial costs Colorado taxpayers approximately $3.5 million, versus $150,000 for a life without parole trial, according to the ACLU. A 2009 legislative analysis found eliminating the death penalty would save the state $1.5 million a year learners; enjoy conversation in casual, inclusive atmosphere.

Some media, most notably CNN’s Anderson Cooper, have made a point of avoiding using the name of these gunmen.

The Associated Press names suspects identified by law enforcement in major crimes. However, in cases in which the crime is carried out seeking publicity, the AP strives to restrict the mention of the name to the minimum needed to inform the public, while avoiding descriptions that might serve a criminal’s desire for publicity or self-glorification, said John Daniszewski, the AP’s vice president and editor-at-large for standards.

hen the Kite Festival in Arvada started in 2002, it provided a way for families to enjoy the outdoors.

Today, it is one of the metro area’s biggest celebrations of spring.

“It’s all about families having fun outside,” said Brenda Berg, special events coordinator for the city of Arvada. “It’s not to be a financial burden on anyone. Everyone can get out and enjoy the day.”

The free event, which takes place during National Kite Month, returns to Stenger Soccer Complex Sunday, April 7.

Attendees will have the option to bring their own kites or buy them at the event. Kids can also get in on the fun in the days leading up to the event by attending a kite-making class at Majestic View Nature Center, 7030 Garrison St, Arvada.

“It’s a chance for kids to make their own kite and learn why it’s that shape,” said Mike Dempsey, educator at Majestic View. “It’s getting them a little more involved in the festival when they do their own kite-making.”

Kite-making classes will be held at 4 p.m. Friday, April 5, and at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 6, for youths ages 4 to 10. Cost is $5 with materials included. To register, visit arvada.org/public-classes.

The Arvada Kite Festival runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 7 at Stenger Soccer Complex, 11200 W. 58th Ave. Gates open at 9:30 a.m. There will be a bicycle valet — the festival commission is encouraging attendees to ride their bikes to the event.

made them feel, and Holmes began to see it, too.

Holmes’ work will be on display at the Deep Space Lounge until April 27. He’s already had people interested in buying his pieces, and he provides smaller ones for $25 as souvenirs. His work can also be seen at jamesholmesstudio.com.

Most of Holmes’ head fogginess has faded, he said. His ability to play guitar has slowly come back to him, but his art remains one of his greatest new passions.

“When I had this accident, part of my being able to accept the harsh moments about the prospects of the surgery, what it might look like… part of my ability to process that was my faith,” Holmes said. “I knew that there’s a purpose for my life. I believe everything that happens to me is for learning. There’s a lesson in all of it, and my belief in God allowed me to accept it.”

Aftermath of Aurora For Caren and Tom Teves, the cause is personal. Their son Alex was among those killed in the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora in 2012.

They were both traveling out of state when the shooting happened, and it took 15 hours for them to learn the fate of their son. During those hours, they heard repeatedly about the shooter but virtually nothing about the victims.

Not long after, they created the No Notoriety movement, encouraging media to stick to reporting relevant facts rather than the smallest of biographical details.

They also recommend publishing images of the shooter in places that are not prominent, steering clear of “hero” poses or images showing them holding weapons, and not publishing any manifestos.

“We never say don’t use the name. What we say is use the name responsibly and don’t turn them into anti-heroes,” Tom Teves said.

“Let’s portray them for what they are: They’re horrible human beings that are completely skewed in their perception of reality, and their one claim to fortune is sneaking up behind you and shooting you.”

Row House brings a new workout to Highlands Ranch. The boutique fitness studio opens Thursday, April 11.

COURTESY OF CHRISTIAN STARK

Fitness studio offers new workout

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Highlands Ranch is getting another boutique workout studio — with a new concept.

Row House, a class-based rowing studio, opens its doors April 11 at 9358 Dorchester St., Suite 104, on the southeast end of Town Center. The franchise is the first in Colorado and one of three planned for the south metro Denver area. Other locations are expected to open in the next year or two in Lone Tree and Parker.

Its head company, Xponential Fitness, is behind popular brands like CycleBar and Club Pilates.

Denver resident Anne Johnson is the franchise owner and area developer. Originally from St. Louis, she left corporate America in January 2018 to start her own business. She comes from a family of entrepreneurs, she

said. She considered home health care but loved the boutique studio concept.

“I’ve always been into fitness,” Johnson said at the studio’s soft opening on March 21. “I knew that I wanted to find something that was new, that sent a good message and was inclusive.”

Performed in a dark room with 24 rowing machines, the 45-minute classes offer a full body workout. According to Johnson, legs do 60 percent of the work on the machine. Arms and abs do the rest.

Tara McGlynn, an instructor at the Highlands Ranch studio, was an athlete for many years. Rowing, she said, is easier on her joints and for the most part painless — though some workouts leave her feeling sore.

“I feel strong,” Mcglynn said of rowing. “And confident.”

Row House offers six different levels of classes, performed to the beat of music. Instructors keep tabs on participants using a monitor and offer one-onone assistance throughout the class.

Johnson said she strives to offer an inviting, judgment-free workout.

“Our goal,” she said, “is to appeal to all ages, all shapes, all sizes.”
