Arapahoe High culture, leadership face scrutiny Survey shows school lauds some students over others, group says; officials question validity

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Arapahoe High School Community Coalition says it received 1,275 responses to its online “community stakeholder” survey, of which it considers 1,169 responses reliable.

The report, which can be found at FutureOf AHS.org, lists breakdowns of responses to the survey’s 11 multiple-choice questions.

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dozens of comments attributed to students, parents and teachers at Arapahoe High School allege the school has an image-driven culture that lionizes athletes and high achievers and leaves others to languish.

The nameless comments came as part of a report given to the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education by a largely anonymous group called the Arapahoe High School Community Coalition, which is calling for the firing of AHS Principal Natalie Pramenko and an outside investigation into the school’s culture.

The report is the outcome of a “community stakeholder survey” the group promoted via social media in mid-April. Attorney Jessica Peck said group members created the group and hired her after feeling ignored or disregarded by school administrators.

The survey garnered 1,275 responses, according to the report, of which they consider 1,169 to be “reliable” submissions. Of those, the group says nearly three-quarters expressed concern about the performance of school administrators.

Comments paint harsh picture Comments included in the report say Pramenko encourages a culture that lauds high-achieving students but disregards the concerns of struggling students and their parents.

“If (Pramenko) cared about everyone as much as she does about the cheerleaders … maybe students would be happier and feel better at school,” reads one comment attributed to a current student.

The results of the survey were sobering, said Jessica Roe, who said she is a parent of an Arapahoe student and a member of the coalition.

“The common theme is irrefutable: the leadership in place appears

Here’s one example: Select your level of support or concern regarding the current climate, culture and public perception of AHS: • I am so concerned about the performance of AHS administrators that I would recommend to the district that the current principal be released and a new principal search be conducted immediately: 33.9% Arapahoe High School Principal Natalie Pramenko, according to accusations by an anonymous group, disproportionately favors athletes and high achievers.

Pramenko declined to comment after an April 25 school board meeting, but denied the allegations in a previous interview.

Jessica Peck, a lawyer for an anonymous group alleging a toxic culture at Arapahoe High School, told the Littleton school board on April 25 that she spoke on behalf of frustrated parents who felt they had no recourse.

to duck and cover when it comes to acknowledging error, and only addresses things when they become a PR spectacle,” said Roe, citing highprofile incidents at the school, including several student suicides and two teachers arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting students. “We went into this with a gut instinct that things weren’t right, but we didn’t know how bad it was.”

Reutzel said.

Peck, the attorney, said the survey speaks for itself.

“We can quibble over methodology, and there are no perfect surveying techniques, but what I don’t think we can quibble about are the authentic, unedited responses from the diverse people who responded here,” Peck told the school board at an April 25 meeting. “This is a great school, but it can be better. There’s a clear mandate that change is needed. When people come and knock on my door, it’s because they’ve been knocking on yours with no response for too long.”

Few are willing to claim affiliation with the group, according to the report, for fear of retaliation from district officials and community members.

Objectivity of survey questioned Littleton Public Schools officials said that while they’ll read and seriously consider the report, they question the provenance of anonymous comments from a mostly anonymous group.

“I still have grave concerns about whether this is objective data,” school board President Jack Reutzel said.

“I don’t know if everyone took the survey twice. For all I know, people in Michigan were filling it out.”

The group will have an opportunity to give a full rundown of their findings, complaints and requests at a special meeting scheduled for May 2 at the Arapahoe High School theater,

Speaking up But some who spoke at the April 25 school board meeting backed the community coalition’s efforts.

Wade Wilson, who said he is a parent of a current AHS student, said he was frustrated by the school’s response when his older son sank into

• I am concerned about the performance of AHS administrators: 31.1% • I am pleased about the performance of AHS administrators: 17.1% • Other: 9.0% • I am not only concerned about the performance of AHS administrators, but I have expressed this formally to the district and nothing has been done: 8.9% depression following the 2013 shooting death of student Claire Davis.

“Stumbling blocks were not removed,” Wilson told the board. “They were placed in front of us … It feels to me that there’s a bias toward a certain type of student, or athlete, or thespian or whatever. Others aren’t heard and aren’t cared for.”

Wilson’s wife Amanda Wilson said while her family loves Arapahoe and Littleton Public Schools and understands that bullying and youth suicide issues are widespread, school leaders should be introspective about whether they contribute to a climate of systemic bullying by overly lauding high achievers and athletes.

Others at the meeting, however, backed the district and the school against what they called a misguided attack by the community coalition.

A pair of proposed shade structures would replace the red tents the Melting Pot currently uses to host outdoor diners in the winter.

Littleton council to rule on Melting Pot pergola proposal Owners say outdoor seating necessary to turn a profit; opponents say structures would destroy vital view

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Downtown Littleton’s Melting Pot fondue restaurant needs to build permanent outdoor seating to stay afloat, its owners say, but a growing chorus of critics say those plans would ruin the view of a city landmark.

Owners Kyle and Amy Reed’s plans to build a pair of pergolas in front of the high-end eatery, housed in the city’s historic 1917 Carnegie library, would require the city to alter a longstanding law requiring an uninterrupted view of the building that bookends the west end of Main Street.

“My hope would be that people would give us a fair shake,” Amy Reed said. “Give us an opportunity to present what we’re hoping to do, and make a decision based on facts rather than emotion.”

City council will have final say on whether to roll back the law after a hearing scheduled for May 7. But the restaurant owners’ plans have already met with disapproval from city staff and the city’s Historical Preservation Board, and prompted a letter-writing campaign by Historic Littleton Inc., which says the pergolas would mar the view of a beloved architectural gem.

“We have a legal right to continue seeing this view,” reads a letter from Historic Littleton Inc., a nonprofit that seeks to preserve historic local architecture.

Colorado Community Media’s owners, Jerry Healey and Ann Macari Healey, are members of Historic Littleton Inc. CCM arts and entertain-

ment reporter Sonya Ellingboe is on the group’s board of directors.

The building was designed by architect Jules Jacques Benedict, who also designed Town Hall Arts Center, according to city documents, and served as the city library until 1965. It was designated as a city historic landmark in 1973.

The view of the building from Main Street is governed by a 1983 conservation easement, which grants the city “full and free right to the uninterrupted visual enjoyment” of the façade.

The Melting Pot moved into the building in 1996.

Making a choice The Reeds say their proposed pergolas would only minimally change the appearance of the building, and say the restaurant’s outdoor seating is increasingly vital to making ends meet in an era of climbing minimum wages and health care costs.

For the last several years, the Reeds have augmented the restaurant’s indoor seating with patio tables out front, utilizing a pair of enclosed red canopy tents to keep diners warm in the winter, when they say their business is at its peak.

Though neither city staff nor the Reeds are sure exactly when the tents first went up, city planner Mike Sutherland ordered the Reeds to remove them last November, following what he called years of concern and citizen complaints that the tents violated the conservation easement.

Sutherland’s letter laid out the Reeds’ options: Take down the tents or apply for an amendment to the easement.

The Reeds chose the latter course, seeking an amendment that would allow them to build two pergolas on either side of the building’s front entrance.

Jennifer Jones, the chair of Arapahoe Community College’s astronomy department, hosts a series of “star parties” every semester, hauling the college’s beefy telescopes onto the campus’s west lawn to peer into the heavens.

Jones said she hopes her star parties help people reacquaint themselves with the great beyond.

Reynolds Landing to see river improvements Drops in river channel to be made safer; old house offers opportunities

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tucked away behind Breckenridge Brewery along the South Platte River, Reynolds Landing is quietly becoming another jewel in the crown of public improvements along the once-neglected waterway, officials say.

“It really is a chance to create continuous recreation along the river,” Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman said. “People love to engage with the water, and this is a fun project.”

Developing Reynolds Landing has been a lengthy process, Brinkman said, starting with the 2005 acquisi-

tion of the property from the Superchi family, who farmed the area for decades. Much of the park’s infrastructure, such as the parking lot and bathrooms, was built in 2016.

The park is part of larger efforts by the South Platte Working Group, a consortium of dozens of municipalities and counties that line the river, to reconnect city dwellers with a river that saw decades of disregard, Brinkman said. The group funds projects at the park through a wide variety of grants and municipal funds.

Next on the working group’s agenda for Reynolds Landing: softening three drops in the river’s course through the park to reduce hazards to swimmers and boaters.

“The upstream drop is particularly hairy,” said Laura Kroeger, a program manager at the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, one of the South Platte Working Group’s prima-

ry partners. Kroeger spoke about the park at an April 23 city council study session.

Kroeger said the drops are “a public safety issue the district is really concerned about.”

The plan is to create smaller, safer drops in the river’s course, Brinkman said, and create pools of calm water for children to play in. Ultimately, Brinkman said, she’d like to see visitors be able to get in the water at the park’s upstream end and float the length of the park and get out to do it all over again.

The park also offers another opportunity for civic engagement, after the city acquired the final private home within the confines of the park, said Littleton Public Works Director Keith Reester.

Though the Superchis sold the park to the city 15 years ago, they retained rights to a home in the middle of the

park, Reester said, but family matriarch Barbara Superchi passed away in 2018, and the city took possession of the house.

The city hasn’t yet decided what to do with the old Superchi house, Reester said.

“It’s yet to be tackled, but it’s an exciting chance to do something great,” Reester said.

Brinkman said she’d like to build on the success of Carson Nature Center, to the south in South Platte Park, and use the house as an educational amenity.

Ultimately, Brinkman said, the park’s future is up to citizens.

“We have an opportunity, thanks to the South Platte Working Group and our funding partners, to do something really great here,” Brinkman said.

“We can put together a cool plan and build something future generations can enjoy.”

JACKIE SEARS

Former rural teacher wants to get back in the classroom

From struggles to inspiration I love words. I found out later in life that I went through school with an undiagnosed learning disability, which made math difficult.

In high school, I was struggling with math and science, and a language arts teacher got me into speech and drama.

It gave me confidence. She challenged me with higher-level reading and it really opened my mind. She inspired me to teach.

Teaching on the prairie I worked for the Brush school district, in northeast Colorado, and did long-term subbing for New Raymer — a tiny town on the prairie.

If you weren’t from around there, they treated you as such. Strangers asked me every day where I was from.

Parents didn’t give me much respect.

I loved watching the thunderstorms.

You could see a million miles, so I’d watch the thunderheads roll in. I saw a tornado once. Other than that, it was bugs, heat and wind.

Residents voice concerns on possible mall redevelopment Group voices preferences for projects at Streets at SouthGlenn

The fountain at The Streets at SouthGlenn at East Arapahoe Road and South University Boulevard.

Developers plan to add more apartment buildings, along with more office space, retail and possible entertainment uses to the shopping center.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The prospect of more apartments and new businesses replacing the Sears and Macy’s at The Streets at SouthGlenn roused more than 50 area residents to assemble a list of what they’d rather see built at the outdoor mall.

“Through tonight, hopefully we can offer something tangible about what we can offer,” said Ron Phelps, who led a meeting at the nearby Southglenn Country Club to collect residents’ ideas.

The recently closed Sears property is owned by Northwood Investors, and Alberta Development Partners owns the Macy’s — which is still in business — along with controlling the rest of nearly all of SouthGlenn.

But because the City of Centennial passed a master

ELLIS ARNOLD

development plan in 2007 that deviates from normal zoning — the rules for what can be built where in the city — Northwood and Alberta need the city’s approval for certain types of changes.

Northwood wants to turn the Sears property mainly into apartments, with retail possible on the ground floor, developers said at a March 19 community

meeting organized by the city.

Alberta wants to put apartments and office space, and possibly retail and entertainment — think something like Lucky Strike Bowling — where Macy’s stands, within a few years.

On the Sears and Macy’s land, 800 apartment units could be possible on each property, but Alberta is aiming for about 400.

Northwood’s plan is for five sto-

ries. A possible green area with a fountain could also be added to the Macy’s land, developers said at the March meeting.

Residents at the gathering at the country club on April 8 voiced concerns about the new projects’ potential effect on the area’s property values, noise and traffic.

SEE SOUTHGLENN, P8

SOUTHGLENN THROUGH THE YEARS

The Streets at SouthGlenn was originally the large, indoor Southglenn Mall built in the 1970s, and the Sears and Macy’s were components of that mall.

SouthGlenn’s outdoor shopping center layout replaced the former mall in 2009.

The recently closed Sears building was built in 1974, according to Arapahoe County assessor’s records. The Macy’s building was constructed in 1981, county records say. Macy’s West Stores Inc. sold it to Alberta Development Partners in February 2018 for $10 million, records show.

Alberta also controls the rest of nearly all of SouthGlenn.

The timeline for development related to Macy’s is unclear, as the store is still in business, the city noted on its website. Development at the Sears property will progress sooner.

Use a Reverse everse Mortgage to Fund Retirement SPONSORED CONTENT - KATHY MUNI

A

ccording to author Wade Pfau, Ph.D., CFA in an article in Retirement Researcher, financial planning research has shown that coordinated use of a reverse mortgage starting earlier in retirement outperforms waiting to open a reverse mortgage as a last resort option once all else has failed.

Reverse mortgages have transitioned from a last resort to a retirement income Kathy Muni tool that can be incorporated as part of an overall efficient retirement income plan. Two benefits give opening a reverse mortgage earlier in retirement the potential to improve retirement outcomes, even after accounting for loan costs.

First, coordinating retirement spending from a reverse mortgage reduces strain on the investment portfolio, which helps manage the risk of having to sell assets at a loss after market downturns. Reverse mortgages

can help sidestep this risk by providing an alternative source of retirement spending after market declines, creating more opportunity for the portfolio to recover.

The second potential benefit of opening the reverse mortgage early— especially when interest rates are low—is that the principal limit (the overall eligible amount consisting of any loan balance and remaining line of credit) that you can borrow from will continue to grow throughout

retirement. You are the only one who owns your home with its equity, the bank or lender does not. The reverse mortgage is not repaid until the last borrower leaves the home.

To qualify for a government insured reverse mortgage, at least one homeowner must be 62. The home must be your primary residence and you should have between 40 – 60 % equity.

Yours may be a single-family home, an FHA approved condo, a townhome, manufactured home, modular

home, or a hobby farm up to 25-acres.

It is a non-recourse loan, so you will never owe more than the home is worth, and no debt is passed on to your heirs or estate.

Silver Leaf Mortgage also offers proprietary reverse mortgages for eligible condominiums that are not FHA approved, and for homeowners who are 60 years old. Additionally, you may use a reverse mortgage to purchase a property and will have no mortgage payment. Of course, you will pay property taxes and insurance. Give me a call for a no pressure, no obligation conversation to see if a reverse mortgage may be a good option for you. The goal is to give you the information you need to make an informed decision.

PERGOLA FROM PAGE 3

The pergolas would be 10 to 12 feet tall, according to a letter submitted by the Reeds to the city, and would have retractable fabric walls. The Reeds would consider printing pictures of the obscured part of the building’s façade on the fabric to give the illusion of a full view, the Reeds told the Historic Preservation Board in an April 15 hearing.

Money matters The Reeds said their outdoor seating now accounts for 30 percent of their revenue, and said without it they’re unlikely to be able to keep turning a profit in the building.

A sticking point with residents has been the potential for more traffic through residential streets near SouthGlenn, like East Easter Avenue, which winds through adjacent neighborhoods.

The crowd shouted out copious ideas for what it would prefer to see: A small amphitheater, a cultural center, a water park, a garden space, a hall for food vendors like Aurora’s Stanley Marketplace.

Phelps floated the idea of the city buying part of the Sears property to

May 2, 2019M work for outdoor seating, the Reeds told the board. The parking lot on the north is built over an old landfill with shifting ground that emits methane; the west side of the property would require permission from the Colorado Department of Transportation, whose lease terms are unpalatable; and the south side experiences noise and dirt from nearby traffic.

“We don’t like the red tents either,” Kyle Reed said at the April 15 hearing.

“We’re looking at this from a business perspective… I know the (impression) is we’re just printing money. But it’s a difficult business to run. We picked it, we chose it, this is our burden. But we want to stay here.”

The Reeds said they have already cut operating costs as much as they can, and are concerned they’ll lose customers if they raise prices. Amy Reed said while the old building is challenging

to maintain, part of the restaurant’s draw is its charming location in downtown Littleton.

Quite the pickle Historic Preservation Board members called the situation an unfortunate dilemma.

“The Melting Pot is a great restaurant,” said board member Pam Grove.

“But our purpose is to somehow maintain Historic Downtown Littleton for all property owners, and if we start changing the facades of our iconic buildings, that impacts every business… the intent (of the law) is very clear: `Own this building, take care of this building, we’re glad to have you as a tenant, but we as a city want to have the enjoyment of the façade.’ ” Members of Historic Littleton Inc. told the board that the significance of the old library building should not be

taken for granted.

“To say this is an icon is not exaggerating,” said Historic Littleton Inc. member Rebecca Kast. “This has been our view down Main Street for over a hundred years… It’s one of our most historic structures, and its integrity should not be diminished.”

The Historic Preservation Board unanimously rejected the amendment, though their decision is non-binding and serves as a recommendation to city council.

Sutherland, the city planner, said while he believes the easement should stand and the view of the building should be preserved, he hopes the Melting Pot can stick it out.

“If this does not pan out, we would definitely work with the applicant to keep them in Littleton,” Sutherland said. “They’re a valued corporate citizen, and we want them to stay.”

build a park or amphitheater.

“Why would (developers) care what we think? It matters on the approval process,” Phelps said. If the crowd is vocal, developers “will pay attention because it doesn’t behoove them to go through this process with fingers in their ear.”

Phelps is also a candidate in the upcoming November election for Centennial City Council District 1, the west end of the city, including Streets at SouthGlenn.

Whether developers’ plans go through depends on the city’s determination of whether they meet the requirements of the city’s Land Development Code, which sets zoning districts and design standards.

The city council could be in legal trouble if it denies a plan that falls within those rules, Phelps told the crowd.

The code generally aims to “reflect the shared values of the community with respect to the character, form, and function” of development based on the city’s comprehensive development plan, but it also must “respect property rights,” the code says. It also lays out hundreds of pages, including technical rules about how properties may be designed.

After a second, still unscheduled, community meeting, the city will hold two public hearings on the plans. The Planning and Zoning Commission — citizens who make development

recommendations to council — will hold a hearing and decide whether the plans meet the city’s code.

If approved, the plan moves to a city council public hearing, which makes the final decision on whether the plans meet code.

The group may organize a petition effort, said Phelps, who has sent out emailed updates and an online survey to citizens regarding their preferences.

Casey Batt, who helped Phelps lead the meeting at the country club, urged everyone to pitch in on the effort to be heard.

“If we’re not organized,” Batt said, “we’re not going to be able to make the impact.”

‘Stop the Bleed’ gives crash course on life-saving skills Campaign seeks to train members of public for emergencies

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At the Lone Tree Hub community center, South Metro Fire Rescue and Littleton Adventist Hospital provided a crash course on how to treat a person with life-threatening bleeding.

The “Stop the Bleed” campaign is a national initiative that began after the Sandy Hook shooting autopsy results showed that if people had these skills, some lives might have been saved.

The campaign is not only for mass casualty incidents, but for home accidents, vehicle crashes or any situation causing serious bleeding.

HealthONE hospitals partnered with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and South Metro Fire Rescue to train as many community members as possible.

At the April 20 Lone Tree event, community members were trained in how to recognize life-threatening bleeding, assess safety, call 911, apply pressure, pack wounds and use a combat tourniquet. They were also equipped with bags containing equipment to use these skills.

John Aylward, of South Metro Fire and Rescue, shows “wound packing,” which is when a special dressing is used for a deep laceration.

When life throws curve balls Financial Planners can add value L 3 ast week, I witnessed the end of a 24-year marriage. The end of a marriage is quite differ different than the beginning of one. In the begin beginning couples are full of hope, love and an anNelisha Firestone ticipation for what lies ahead which is in stark contrast to the feelings of helplessness, anger and sadness I witnessed last week.

Divorce is all too common. Statistics show half of us will experience it at some point in our lifetimes. At the center of every divorce is the money. How do you split it up?

Who gets the house? How much alimony is enough?

Like insurance, financial advice tends to be wanted, only after it is needed. With insurance, the right time for adequate coverage is before the car wreck. This is true for finance as well: have your plan in

place before the worst happens.

As we negotiated on behalf of our client a thought came to my mind: It seems at least one, women especially; take a backseat when it comes to finances. If you want to alleviate the stress of money in your marriage you have to be an equal partner in the finances and make sure your voice is heard.

A few tips --

1

Know where the money is--

Most couples have multiple accounts. Know where they are and who is managing them. How are they registered- in joint name or single? Which accounts carry beneficiary designations? What’s available through work plans to help build wealth?

FAA report on Metroplex plan is available for public comment

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A federal plan to reroute airplane traffic that has riled up mayors in the south metro Denver area is expected to have “no significant impacts” on noise, air quality, wildlife or historic and cultural resources, according to the federal government’s own analysis.

“After we have had the chance to further review the recently released report, and after we have had the opportunity to hear from the FAA over the next week, area mayors will continue to work together to reach and advocate for the best outcome for our citizens,” said Centennial Mayor Stephanie Piko, one of the local officials closely watching developments on the plan.

The Federal Aviation Administration’s NextGen project — an effort to increase safety and efficiency of air transportation across the country — began in 2007 and is expected to be largely in place by 2025. The FAA tags it as “one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in U.S. history.”

In the Denver area, the potential overhaul lies in the NextGen Denver Metroplex project, which aims to optimize arrival and departure at local airports, including Denver International Airport, Centennial Airport and some others.

The rub in the south suburbs is a possible moving of flight paths that now generally stay east of Interstate 25 and south of DIA to a new corridor that could run above the areas of Littleton, Englewood and Cherry Hills

Village, for example.

But it’s unclear what amount of added air traffic would be moved over certain areas. Most Centennial Airport flights wouldn’t use the proposed routes if the plan is approved, according to the FAA. It’s also unclear what the effect on air traffic would be for areas south of Centennial Airport, in northern Douglas County, where residents currently report noise complaints in some of the most concentrated amounts.

‘No significant impacts’ Local officials have previously questioned the possible effect on quality of life in the metro area, citing concerns with wildlife, sleep disturbance and the ability to enjoy a casual trip to parks.

A draft of a report by the FAA dated April 22 — called an environmental assessment — analyzed the plan’s potential impact on aspects of the metro area including noise, air quality, climate, historical and cultural areas, aircraft fuel, and minority and low-income communities.

“In summary, no significant impacts to any environmental resource category have been identified,” says the report, which is about 150 pages long and was released with appendices totaling hundreds more pages.

The report does note that about 100 people in rural parts of Jefferson, Adams and Elbert counties would likely experience a noise increase of 5 decibels in areas where the average noise would usually vary between 45 and 60 decibels.

Conversation in restaurants generally hovers around 60 decibels, according to a Purdue University chart.

Upper-70s levels are annoyingly loud to some people, the chart said.

FAA FROM PAGE 10

But that’s the extent of the notable noise changes, the report said — and only increases of 1.5 decibels or more in areas exposed to 65 decibels and up are considered to “exceed threshold of significance,” according to the report.

Chance to give input The FAA’s final environmental assessment will give the last word on whether further studying needs to be done on the plan’s potential impact. But before that, the agency will take comments during a roughly six-week public comment period, lasting until June 6.

The public can comment online, by physical mail or at several “workshop” meetings, at which FAA representatives will be available to answer questions and take written input on comment cards that will be provided.

Piko has alerted the offices of U.S. Rep. Jason Crow and U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner about concerns regarding the plan, she said.

“I stressed to each of them the concerns we have about the FAA and how they are not taking into account lessons learned from other Metroplex experiences,” Piko said. “Past experience shows us that they have a tendency to have ‘no finding of significance’ in their studies” before taking proper account of local concerns.

Around early 2019, metro area mayors had been consistently discussing the issue. Despite the lack of clear details on what changes could happen, the mayors of Sheridan, Englewood,

‘I stressed to each of them the concerns we have about the FAA and how they are not taking into account lessons learned from other Metroplex experiences.’

Stephanie Piko, Centennial mayor Littleton, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village and Centennial, who meet informally each month for lunch, have talked about it during their gatherings, Englewood Mayor Linda Olson has said.

Centennial Airport has expressed concerns to the FAA about the plan and stressed the importance of the FAA’s workshop meetings.

“Everyone who has questions, concerns, please attend one of those meetings,” said Deborah Grigsby Smith, the airport’s spokeswoman. “Once that window closes, it’s not going to open again.”

‘Livin’ the dream’ can become the real deal WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

“

L

ivin’ the dream” could be one of the greatest replies to the question, “How are you doing?”

The problem, as most of us who use this reply know, is that we really don’t mean it. It is just our way of telling the world that we would prefer not to talk about how we are really feeling right now, or we hope that our sarcastic response will say all that needs to be said.

Maybe what we want to say is

that life is hard right now, or that we wish that we were anywhere else but where we are, or that our job is stressful, or that we have just lost hope.

But we can’t bring ourselves to say that can we? Maybe to a very close friend or family member, someone we trust, but never to a co-worker or casual acquaintance or someone we pass in the grocery store. I mean if we told everyone how we really feel, they would either walk away

as quickly as possible or would come in closer and try and help us figure things out. So instead, we just say, “You know me, livin’ the dream.”

Are we livin’ the dream? If not, why not? Typically, we associate dreams, nighttime dreams or daydreams, with happiness and joy, with peace and fun, with success and achievement, with vacations and faraway places. If not, well, we call those nightmares.

If you have caught yourself

saying this or replying sarcastically to the question of how s you are doing with, “Livin’ the w dream,” I would ask you to take c a moment and reconsider, unless a of course you are truly and hap- g pily “Living the dream.” If it’s the former, and your response is a a way of deflecting and guarding how you really feel, then it’s time to change what is going into your mind, heart, and field of vision.

Talk about gun rights must acknowledge gun wrongs

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Principal not to blame I feel compelled to respond to the news of the egregious, ill-informed and unwarranted attack on Natalie Pramenko and by extension the faculty, staff and students of Arapahoe High School.

As a 59-year citizen of Littleton as well as parent and grandparent of Littleton/ Centennial students, my knowledge of Arapahoe High School is at extreme variance with allegations made by Jessica Peck.

ion. Instead, it is a personal attack on one person of a team of dedicated and diligent people that is Arapahoe High School.

When bad things happen it is usual, although short sighted, to find someone to blame rather than concentrate on problem solving.

My hope is that a cooler and more informed majority does not stay silent in the face of this attack.

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

If it’s the latter, you added the “g” to livin’ and you are intentionally and purposely “Living the dream,” your dream.

Zig Ziglar said it best when he shared, “If you don’t like who you are, what you are, or where you are, you can change who you are, what you are, and where you are by changing what goes into your mind.”

One of my very favorite quotes and absolutely so very true.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

But it is viewed by many as if it were, and incontrovertible, even though practically every other longheld view, law, regulation and ardently held belief is periodically revisited, and often amended.

I am resigned to just about all of this by now. But I watch faces, and I see eyes widen whenever there’s an incident, and someone suggests that

LETTERS FROM PAGE 12

Let’s protect people, planet Regarding the recent letter to the editor titled “Bill bad for kids”: Proposition 112 and SB-181 are two completely different things. Proposition 112 was about setbacks. SB-181 is about health and safety.

The taxes oil and gas pays for schools is offset by the taxpayer-funded road repairs from their trucks and the excessive water required for fracking (1.5 to 16 million gallons per frack).

Additionally, studies have connected a higher rate of asthma and cancer to the oil and gas industry and the public pays those health care costs.

Add to that the plugging and capping of orphaned wells, of which there are at least 260 at the cost of $80,000 per well, for a total cost of $20.8 million. SB-181 doesn’t address the issue of capping old orphaned wells so

There is another old familiar saying we have all heard before, “What you see is what you get.” And what people see when they hear the sarcastic response, “Livin’ the dream,” is usually not someone they want to work with, work for, or have as a part of their team.

However, what they see in a person who responds enthusiastically with, “Living the dream,” is a person who they want to hire, a person they want to partner with, and a person that just brightens their day. Our tonality and body language will let them know which one it is.

Take a look around you, what do

you see? Do you have books on your shelves with words in the titles such as Kindness, Hope, Journey, Success, Happiness, Dreams, Faith, Winning, Love, or other positive and encouraging words?

What are you listening to on the radio? What are you watching on television? Who are you hanging out with? Are they also just, “Livin’ the dream” or are they excitedly and passionately “Living the dream?” It really does go back to what Zig Ziglar taught us, that we can change what we want to change by changing what goes into our minds. Our input determines our output.

So how about you? How are you doing? My hope is that you are living the dream and that you surround yourself with strong and positive people, encouraging and motivational words and messaging, and a solid goals program to help you achieve those dreams. I really would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can be “Living out our dreams” it really will be a better than good week.

we do something about it, or, as Colorado legislator Lois Court said, “I am sick and tired of inaction when we see tragedies caused by gun violence.”

Court, in some parts of the state, would lose her job over those words.

I am a naive misfit, something I have known for a long time. I don’t believe in fireworks on the Fourth of July. I don’t believe in Mother’s Day or Father’s Day or Valentine’s Day. And I don’t believe that the Second Amendment is untouchable.

A Boulder woman, Lindasue Smollen, and I are in agreement that some-

thing should be done, but she is more committed to it than I am. She paid for advertising on six billboards in Weld County. They read: “More Americans have died of gun violence since 1970, including murders, suicides, and accidents (1.4 million) than in all the wars in American history (1.3 million). Thoughts and prayers are not enough.”

I am trying my best to co-exist in a gun country and in a gun state. Daily, I hope none of my friends is hurt or killed by someone who might have had his or her gun sensibly taken away.

the taxpayer will still be covering that expense.

We do not know where all the orphaned wells are located, which is how Erin Martinez lost her husband, brother and home in Firestone in the April 2017 explosion. She recently bought a new home.

She researched the home site with the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to make certain there were no wells close by as she promised her children it would be safe. Only to discover one day, after moving in, that there was an oil and gas crew looking for an abandoned well, and they found it along her fence line.

Climate change is here now. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and more severe. We have to stop the extraction and burning of fossil fuels to keep the warming of Earth to below 1.5 degrees Celsius, to keep Earth a livable planet.

Mountain biking sparks enthusiasm among participants in popular activity

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

efore she became executive director of the Colorado High School Cycling League, a nonprofit youth development organization that produces mountain bike race series, Kate Rau worked in the intervention field.

Rau worked for Singletrack Mountain Bike Adventures, a youth race development program that offers summer camps and team programs during the spring, summer and fall.

She witnessed firsthand the impact that mountain biking can have on people, including children who found themselves in trouble.

“It strengthens family bonds, and it connects people to their community.

Those are elements that are proven to reduce the need for intervention — whether it’s mental health, substance abuse, feeling isolated, or being addicted to screen time,” said Rau. “I think we’re all, including kids, under a tremendous amount of stress.

Biking is pretty much year-round in Colorado, and it’s something you can do with your family.”

The problem isn’t necessarily finding a trail, it’s finding the wherewithal to strap on a helmet and jump on a mountain bike.

Once that wherewithal is found, the benefits can be tremendous — just ask Gary Harty.

Harty lives in Lakewood, and he has been a strong advocate for getting people on bikes. He brought Cycling Without Age to Lakewood over a year ago, a program that provides three-wheeled bikes, called trishaws, to people who cannot ride a bike by themselves. The trishaws have a couchlike seat big enough for

two people to sit on, while volunteers power it for senior communities all throughout Lakewood. The longtime cyclist also founded the Lakewood Bicycle Advisory Team, a group that advocates for better infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians.

Harty and his wife got into mountain biking six years ago. Bear Creek Lake Park is close to his home, and it is one of the many places where he and his wife enjoy spending a sunny day.

“Psychologists have known for a long time that exercise creates endorphins. I think to a certain extent, that becomes addictive,” said Harty.

Admission is free.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During each annual Eye of the Camera Exhibit at the Littleton Museum, the juror names two prints — one color and one black and white — as “Best of Show.”

The photographers who entered them are invited to have a two-person show the following year in the museum’s gallery. “Best of Show 2018” is open during museum hours through June 2, honoring Karen Kirkpatrick (color) and J.R. Schnelzer (black and white).

A viewer quickly notes close ties with nature in both photographers’ works, as well as expert control of their chosen medium.

When asked about how she created the moody atmosphere in a print that seems to glow with amber light, Kirkpatrick spoke about layering parts of other photographs and manipulating for the desired effect.

The technical expertise both photographers exhibit is more apparent the longer one lingers. Both include prints in color and black and white in their collections, which are separated by artist. There is an immediate message about the diversity of images each can produce — both crisp and subtle.

“I find each image has a story, sometimes obvious and at other times hidden,” Kirkpatrick writes. “My goal is to bring that story to life, to give the viewer a reason to pause and be touched through a memory or an emotion.”

“Will You Ever Really See Me?” by Karen Kirkpatrick, who won Best of Show (Color) in the 2018 Eye of the Camera show in Littleton. Her works are now exhibited at the Littleton Museum. COURTESY PHOTOS

“Alice’s World” by J.R. Schnelzer, who won Best of Show (Black and White) in the 2018 Eye of the Camera show in Littleton.

Her “Will You Ever Really See Me?” from her Momentary Insight Series greets one at the entrance to the exhibit. A curious white

horse with a black mane peers out of a weathered barn’s window, summoning various responses from a viewer. A branch swoops across above

the horse’s head. Is he/she hungry? Inquisitive? Lonely?

She said the horse belongs to her sister.

She organizes her images in series — works from “An Uncertain Presence” and “Momentary Insight” are exhibited here. Her solitary crane, backed by a flight of balloons, has a wonderful sky … and there is a series of smaller black and white prints in her collection that provoke response …

Next to that horse at the entrance is Schnelzer’s photograph of dazzling yellow aspen trees, with sun shining on and through the leaves.

They bring thoughts of a perfect September-in-Colorado day in the mountains and perhaps a related memory.

Many of his images are in color, despite the black and white award. Don’t miss

“Big Storm on the Plains” in Schnelzer’s collection, a moody black and white print.

One expects to see that house lift off, with Dorothy and Toto blowing along behind it. And that Wicked Witch on her bicycle! A number of interesting portraits, including “Bad Boy,” are included in his collection On another track — but still as a storyteller — Schnelzer’s “Alice’s World” presents a dramatic looking woman, stylishly attired in black, with her pet falcon on a roost on the table, which is set for a solitary tea party. Debris at her feet offers interesting texture and in the background is an old stone building, with a mysterious guy sitting on the steps ... All sorts tales come to mind.

A purrfect arrangement Catios allow cats to spend time outside in enclosed spaces

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lance Harding is allergic to cats.

But that hasn’t stopped the 25-yearold entrepreneur from creating an enclosed outdoor cat patio that lets felines safely enjoy fresh air and get some exercise.

Called catios, the enclosures connect to an opening of the house, usually a window, so that the cat can get in and out. The catios can be as small or large as customers would like, and can have features such as ramps and scratch pads.

“They’re a catio, but they’re also a home addition,” Harding said. “People want to feel a part of it, too.”

Harding created Cat Topia with business partner, Sky Davis, in December. Harding got the idea for the business from a family friend who built a catio.

So far, Harding has built 10 catios in the metro area, with more projects scheduled. The largest was about 400 square feet, he said.

An architect helps design the enclosures, Harding said. Although Harding said they hire carpenters to build

A cat inside its catio space. The catios connect to the house, usually through a window as shown in this photo. The cats can then go in and out of the enclosure. COURTESY OF CAT TOPIA the catios, both he and Davis help in all phases of the projects — prefabrication, desing and building. Depending on the size, construction usually takes about two days. And they can be removed if a family moves. Price varies, but on average, Harding said catios cost about $2,500.

He plans to donate a portion of Cat Topia’s revenue to the Denver Dumb Friends League, a nonprofit animal shelter.

IT’S TIME TO DRIVE GREYHOUND IN DENVER Join the Greyhound family of drivers in this opportunity where the journey is as exciting as the destination!

HIRING BONUS HIRING BONUS to $10,000 Possible up toup $10,000 Possible

“I wanted to give back to a community,” said Harding, who is from Denver. “We just paired up really well with our missions.”

Maia Brusseau, the Dumb Friends League public relations manager, said the organization is always looking for local businesses to partner with for fundraising and to participate in events.

When people adopt cats from the Denver Dumb Friends League, the

organization recommends that people keep their pets inside. Having a catio is a way to provide cats with exercise while still keeping them in an enclosed space, Brusseau said. The way catios are built can also give those cats the feeling of being outdoors in a safe way.

“They can not only get some exercise, but some mental stimulation,” Brusseau said. “Some cats really crave to be outside.”

Harding grew up in Washington Park and attended Most Precious Blood Catholic School. After spending some time taking classes at the Art Institute, Harding decided to launch his first company, The Good Couch, which collects and sells used couches. The company shows them in two Denver warehouse locations.

Both The Good Couch and Cat Topia were ways to let Harding have the freedom to travel as a photographer.

Before he came back to Denver and started Cat Topia, Harding spent the summer traveling the world and taking pictures.

He still works with The Good Couch, although his business partner Nick Reichert runs most of the company.

The Good Couch has now expanded to Tennessee and Georgia.

He believes catios will catch on, too.

“I saw a need, that cats needed this,” Harding said, “and that was more important to me” than any allergy.

Greyhound still striving after 100 years of service STAFF REPORT

When you think of the hospitality industry, one might think of a hotel, motel or working in a restaurant. However, another area in hospitality is transportation, which means the popular Taxi, Uber and Lyft for short routes, and for longer trips on the road, people continue to turn to Greyhound.

Greyhound is currently celebrating 100 years of helping people get where they need to go. Serving as the largest national provider of intercity bus transportation in the U.S. and Canada, Greyhound provides services to 17.6 million customers that are arriving at 3,800 designated destinations every year.

At Greyhound, motor-coach operators serve as a

friendly face, as they work to get passengers where they need to go safely and on schedule. Benefits in the company are also competitive as Greyhound works to make its employees feel like they are member of the family.

While Greyhound currently has more than 1,000 job openings nationwide, in Denver, Greyhound is currently looking to fill a variety of positions, including bus drivers, customer service representatives, baggage and ticket agents and food-service attendants.

To see if Greyhound is a good fit for your future, check out the current job listings at www.greyhound.com/careers.

“The standards of excellence that permeate through each student every day start with Ms. Pramenko and her team,” said Doug Adams, who said he is a parent of an Arapahoe student.

Mark Lederhos, an Arapahoe senior, said he supports Pramenko.

“AHS has become a home to me,” Lederhos told the board. “The administrators, the teachers, and especially Ms. Pramenko have been there for us every step of the way … It feels like what’s going on is a slap in the face.”

Arapahoe teachers feel hurt by the group and the report, said Amanda Crosby, an Arapahoe teacher and president of the teachers’ union.

“The truth is, the biggest crisis in this state is a funding crisis,” Crosby told the board. “We don’t have enough adults in these schools to address all these problems. We need to work on funding issues so we have as many caring adults in these schools as we can.”

The Board of Education will give feedback on the meeting at their regularly scheduled meeting on May 9. The board will meet at the LPS Education Services Center at 5776 S. Crocker St. in Littleton. but I think there will be a different narrative present there as well,” Ewert said. “Others want to share their thoughts and feelings, and we’ll listen to all points of view.”

Ewert said he takes evaluation of administrators and schools seriously.

“It’s a very sophisticated process,” Ewert said. “Arapahoe, by many data points, is one of the best schools in Colorado. It’s not perfect, but it can get better. That’s true of all schools.”

Ewert said he hopes the group’s allegations spur productive conversation between people with divergent opinions.

“This is a chance to listen and determine what steps need to be taken,” Ewert said. “But no one group holds the whole truth.”

BIKING

FROM PAGE 14

“I think bicycling in general does that, and mountain biking does that even more, because you don’t have the stress of dealing with automobiles. Mountain biking covers so many categories from tracks that are technical that demand a high level of skill, downhill racing and endurance racing. Mountain biking gets the average cyclist more into nature. Just that combo of exercise and being in tune with nature is good.”

Hitting trails for the first time Paul Rodriguez has been mountain biking for nine years. When he has the time, Rodriguez tries to get out on the trails at least three days a week. He is the co-owner of the Bicycle Shack in Arvada, a store that offers new and used bikes, custom builds, repair services and frame painting.

“If you’ve never (gone mountain biking) before, you should. It’s a good way to get outside and get some sunshine, of course, but one of the most important things that I like is it’s a lot less dangerous than road

The only thing that you’re thinking about is what is in front of you.”

For people who have never been mountain biking before, Rodriguez

recommends hitting the trails at Green Mountain in Lakewood, North Table Mountain in Golden and Marshall Mesa Trailhead in Boulder.

Those trails aren’t difficult, or technical, and they’re great for getting the blood pumping, according to Rodriguez.

One of his favorite apps to use when mountain biking is the MTB Project app. The app, available for Android and iPhone, provides a GPS on trails, mirroring a guidebook for Colorado trails. It also offers a feature that lets you download trail maps for when cell-phone service isn’t available.

“You can scope out your route, which is good, especially for new riders. The difference between a left and a right on a trail can be heading back to the car, or another five-mile loop,” said Rodriguez.

For those who are looking to purchase a mountain bike for the first time, Rodriguez recommends Jamis Bikes. He says the brand offers everything from mountain bikes for small children to more upscale mountain bikes. Rodriguez’s mountain biking survival kit that he carries with him includes tire levers, an extra tube, a patch kit and a hand pump.

“It’s nice, just in case you find yourself in a tough spot when you’re on the trail. You don’t want to have to hike out of a trail and have to carry your bike,” said Rodriguez. “We’re lucky enough to live in Colorado, and I would encourage everyone to take advantage of the trails that our state has to offer.”

Airlife memorial run/walk supports EMS heroes Family-friendly celebration is May 11 at Hudson Gardens STAFF REPORT

As runners and walkers compete for winning times in the annual USATFsanctioned AirLife Memorial 5K/10K run/ walk on May 11, one man will slow to a stop for a moment of reflection.

Dr. Mark Maertins has made this stop during each of the 21 prior AirLife Memorial events, according to a news release.

Maertins pauses at the memorial site to

honor his friends — former AirLife Denver pilot Pete Alplanlap and flight nurses Leslie Feldmann and Beth Barber — who were killed in 1997 when their helicopter struck electrical wires, the release said.

For 31 years, Maertins has served as medical director for AirLife Denver, a medical transport company that has completed more than 62,000 missions in the Rocky Mountain region, the release said.

He always remembers the crew of that 1997 flight, which calls him to his true mission: educating flight crews and enhancing safety measures, the release said.

Dr. Mark Maertins, a Centennial physician who has served as the medical director for AirLife Denver for 31 years, has worked to ensure that EMS providers have the most advanced training and safety precautions.

The Bible Speaks – A New City

The April 18, 2019 Littleton Independent featured an article about some local architectural gems. Included were the Highlands Ranch Mansion, the Westminster Bell Tower & the old Loretto Heights College administration building. The Littleton Municipal Court building deserves inclusion along with the old Carnegie Library at the end of Main Street.

As beautiful as these are, they pale in comparison to the beauty of the future New Jerusalem whose architect & builder is God (Heb 11:10). Its foundations are precious gems, its walls are jasper, its gates are pearls & its streets are gold. A river of life flows through it with trees of life on each side.

God’s throne is there & the city is lit by His glory. It is an eternal city with no death, mourning, crying or pain (Rev 21).

Are you longing to see it? Will you be there? hfsmail@basicisp.net

Baltzer brings hoops skills to lacrosse

CHSAA panel gives green light to three pilot sports

Arapahoe lacrosse player Bobby Balzter.

JIM BENTON

Arapahoe senior Bobby Baltzer sees links in strategy, vision

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

rapahoe High School senior Bobby Baltzer has a good view of what to expect this spring in lacrosse after playing basketball for the Warriors last season.

“A lot of basketball stuff carries over the lacrosse, especially the court vision carries over from basketball a ton, and being able to see the field in lacrosse when slides are coming and where guys are coming to cut off your defender,” said Baltzer.

“The strategy can be the same as basketball,” he continued. “We have a couple set plays but I would say lacrosse is a lot more free-flowing, you push transition more often and feel out the game more than just having a set play.”

Baltzer ranks among the top scorers in the Centennial League and will be playing lacrosse at Hobart next season.

COACH’S TAKE: ‘He is the first junior AllAmerican we have had. He’s a special player.’

Logan Bobzien, Arapahoe boys lacrosse coach

Q&A with Baltzer Who is your favorite athlete and why?

Russell Westbrook. I am a big fan of his and he’s my favorite player. He wears 0 and that’s why I wear 0. We don’t have just a single 0 in lacrosse so double 0 is a close as it gets.

What or who motivates you most to excel in sports?

Myself. Just looking at things that I can improve myself on and continue to improve. Also my teammates as well. Competing with them every day motivates me to get better.

What would be a perfect performance in lacrosse?

A perfect performance would be giving it my all and not looking back and thinking I could have done this or that. I want to know I left everything

on the field.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

That’s tough but I would say choir. We’re singing right now “The Fire Down Below.” It’s an oldie but it’s a goody.

What is the key to picking up ground balls in lacrosse?

There are a couple keys. Getting physical for sure if you’re near one of your opponents.

Also just getting low. You have to get in that kind of squat stance. And you just also have to want it more.

What is your most memorable moment in high school sports?

Freshman year going to the state lacrosse game (11-5 loss to Regis Jesuit), the whole atmosphere and the whole day.

I’ll remember that forever. I’m hoping to repeat that this year.

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Key stats | In 11 games, Baltzer had 25 goals, six assists, 31 points and 36 ground balls.

hen spring rolls around, it’s the time that the Colorado High Schools Activities Association Legislative Committee gets together to approve or shoot down possible changes to Colorado high school sports.

Each year I have mixed reactions, ranging OVERTIME from “Why?” to “It’s about time.”

According to CHSAANow. com, the most notable revision to come from the CHSAA Legislative Committee annual meeting on April 24 was Jim Benton the approval of the pilot sports of boys volleyball, girls wrestling and unified bowling to become sanctioned sports for the 2020-21 season.

Boys volleyball will be a spring sport, girls wrestling will compete in the winter and unified bowling will be held during the fall and winter seasons.

The three sports were the first new activities to be sanctioned in more than a decade. Field hockey was approved in 1996 and added in 1997. Girls lacrosse was sanctioned in 1997 and played its first official season in 1998. Boys lacrosse had its first season in 1999 after gaining approval in 1998.

Among the other revisions ruled on by the committee were: • Girls lacrosse has added a second classification and will split the 58 current teams into 5A and 4A groups. How to divide teams and the enrollment guidelines still need to be determined.

• A fresh approach toward seeding the 5A-1A football playoffs will start next fall with the RPI, MaxPreps rankings, Packard rankings and CHSAANow.com coaches poll equally weighed in one of the chief basics.

• A proposal to create a 6A classification football division was defeated.

• Field hockey will have a different mercy rule for regular-season games. A five-goal differential will create a running clock, a six-goal difference will cause the leading ream to lose a player and a sevengoal differential means the leading team will lose a second player.

Increased computer use tied to worsening rates of sitting Sedentary life becoming more prevalent across all age groups in U.S.

BY LINDSEY TANNER ASSOCIATED PRESS

Americans are becoming increasingly sedentary, spending almost a third of their waking hours sitting down, and computer use is partly to blame, a new study found.

Over almost a decade, average daily sitting time increased by roughly an hour, to about eight hours for U.S. teens and almost 6 1/2 hours for adults, according to the researchers. That includes school and work hours, but leisure-time computer use among all ages increased too.

By 2016, at least half of American kids and adults spent an hour or more of leisure time daily using computers. The biggest increase was among the oldest adults: 15% of retirement-aged adults reported using computers that often in 2003-04, soaring to more than half in 2015-16.

Most Americans of all ages watched TV or videos for at least two hours daily and that was mostly unchanged throughout the study, ranging from about 60% of kids aged 5 to 11, up to 84% of seniors.

“Everything we found is concerning,” said lead author Yin Cao, a

e

l

researcher at Washington University’s medical school in St. Louis.

“The overall message is prolonged sitting is highly prevalent,” despite prominent health warnings about the dangers of being too sedentary.

The researchers analyzed U.S. government health surveys from almost 52,000 Americans, starting at age 5, from 2001-2016. Total sitting time was assessed for teens and adults starting in 2007. The results were pub-

lished April 23 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Studies have shown that prolonged periods of sitting can increase risks for obesity, diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. U.S. activity guidelines released last fall say adults need at least 150 minutes to 300 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity each week, things like brisk walking, jogging, biking or tennis.

Muscle strengthening two days

weekly is also advised. Immediate benefits include reduced blood pressure and anxiety and better sleep.

Long-term benefits include improved brain health and lower risks for falls.

Kids aged 6 through 17 need 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily. Regular activity is even recommended for kids as young as 3. But only about 1 in 4 U.S. adults and 1 in 5 teens get recommended amounts.

College student Daisy Lawing spends a lot of time sitting, but says she doesn’t have much choice. Classes and homework on the computer take up much of her day.

“I always feel bad” about being inactive, she said April 23 at an Asheville, North Carolina, cafe, explaining that she did a school paper about the benefits of physical activity.

“I try to walk a lot, try to work out twice a week. But sometimes I can’t because I’m too busy with school,” said Lawing, 21, a junior at Appalachian State University in Boone.

Peter T. Katzmarzyk of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said people who sit all day need to do more than the minimum recommended amount of physical activity to counteract the harms of being sedentary.

“We’ve just got to really work on the population to get the message out there. Physical activity is good for everyone,” he said.

An eight-goal margin will mean a third player must be removed from the leading team.

• Softball’s mercy rule has been tweaked and the game will end if a team is ahead by 15 runs after three innings, 12 runs after four or 10 runs after five. And, a double bag will be used at first. The white bag will remain in the same place and used by the first baseman during the game.

A second orange bag will be directly to the right of the white bag in foul territory and the batter will use it on run-through plays at first base. If the batter touches the white bag on a runthrough play, she would be called out.

• Basketball and soccer officials will get more pay. Basketball officials working on a three-person crew will earn $60 per game next season compared to $53, while a soccer center referee will be paid $59 and $54.50 for assistant referees. Travel stipends were increased and football officials had previously been awarded an increase to $61 a game for the 2020-22 cycle.

• Swimmers will be required to compete in a minimum of six meets to qualify for the state championships.

Bob Wood, who compiled a 198-84 overall record as a head coach, which included 11 seasons at Mountain Vista, has stepped down and his 37-yearold son Brian is the new head coach.

“I’m very excited taking over at Mountain Vista,” said Brian Wood.

“My dad is going to be my varsity assistant so he’ll be very involved.

We had been hoping to do something like this since we started coaching at Mountain Vista 11 years ago.”

Brian Wood, who at one time was the career scoring leader in Colorado and is now second after scoring 2,551 points at Buena Vista playing for Bob Wood, has been a junior varsity coach and assistant for his dad at Vista.

“We plan on continuing to play fast and applying pressure on defense,” said Brian Wood. “Some things will be changed based on personnel but we plan to keep Vista basketball rolling.

Record setter Senior Max Tennant, a Cherry Creek graduate, has the Ohio Wesleyan and North Coast Athletic Conference career goals record with 249, which is sixth all-time in NCAA Division III history.

Ohio Wesleyan had one more game remaining during the regular season and the NCAC tournament, so more goals could be added to his career records.

LOT 11, BLK 2, SOUTHBRIDGE 2ND FLG EX M/R, COUNTY OF ARAPAHOE, STATE OF COLORADO Commonly known as: 7969 S. Cedar Cr., Littleton, CO 80120.

The sale will be held at 7969 S. Cedar Cr., Littleton, CO 80120.

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid the lesser amount of the loan balance or the appraised value obtained by the Secretary prior to sale.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorated share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling 10% of the Secretary’s bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not be accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the Secretary’s bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extension will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit, or at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein, HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner no less than three (3) days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before the public auction of the property is completed.

The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $299,009.17 as of April 1, 2019, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the deed of trust had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out of pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.
