Block party with a wild side returning to Main Street June 9 is date for annual event that will feature zany circus acts

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It ain’t your grandpa’s block party.

Forget the tiki torches and tinfoil-covered potluck fare: Littleton’s annual Block Party features circus acts and more gourmet grub and live music than you can shake a stick at.

The 14th annual shindig will be held on Main Street in downtown Littleton from 6-11 p.m. on June 9, featuring a menagerie of wild performers.

Jugglers, fire eaters and showgirls leading animatronic dinosaurs on leashes will roam the streets, said Greg Reinke, one of the event’s key organizers and president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants association.

The event’s two fireworks shows — scheduled for dusk and 10:45 p.m. — will be bigger than ever this year, and new acts include a tightrope walker and choreographed slackline walkers, Reinke said.

A half-dozen bands will perform on stages scattered along Main Street: Psycho X, Dixie Leadfoot & the Chrome Struts, Twenty Hands High, Ken K, the Dave Frisk Band and the 37th Street Blues Band.

“Saying an event has ‘something for everyone’ is kind of a cliché, but that’s what we’re shooting for,” Reinke said.

“Even though there’s alcohol, you don’t just sit and drink. There’s too much to walk around and see. We’ve got stuff for kids, but we’ve got the edgy side too.”

The performance artists of the Creepy Freaky Alley certainly bring the edgy factor. Audiences can watch performers pound nails into their faces and swallow swords, said Sven Jorgenson, the longtime manager of the Boulder Circus Center, who will be bringing some of his favorite acts.

“Most festivals don’t have nearly this magnitude of circus acts going on,” Jorgenson said. “I’m serious when I say this is about my favorite street party in Colorado.”

Littleton’s Block Party on Main Street on June 9 will feature a variety of bands and circus acts.

DAVID GILBERT

IF YOU GO When: 6-11 p.m., June 9 Where: Historic Downtown Littleton Main Street How much: Admission is free, but food and drink vendors only accept tickets, which cost $1 each.

Call 303-795-5006 or visit a participating downtown merchant to get $25 in tickets for $20.

One performer, who calls himself the Enigma, said his act isn’t for the faint of heart.

“I put hooks through my face to lift up a chainsaw, then I take that same chainsaw, put an apple in my mouth, put a blindfold on, and carve the apple in half,” Enigma said. “It’s insanity’s greatest hits. You can’t miss me — I’m covered head to toe in a jigsaw puzzle tattoo.”

Enigma will be joined by friends including one named Slim the Living Cyborg, Jorgenson said, and the Stupendous John Stork, who stacks chairs sky-high — then does a handstand on top.

Reinke is confident that attendees will find something up their alley, so to speak.

“If you don’t like the band that’s performing, just wander down the street,” Reinke said. “There’s plenty more to choose from.”

MY NAME IS

KAREN BISH

Community outreach director, South Platte Water Renewal Partners Odor investigator I’m the community outreach director for South Platte Water Renewal Partners, formerly called the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant.

I’m in charge of all tours of the plant. I’m also the person who responds if there’s an odor complaint about the plant. We try not to have any odors at all, but we investigate all complaints.

To flush or not to flush We need to make sure people know what not to flush. Even things labeled as flushable aren’t necessarily safe — “flushable wipes,” for example.

They don’t biodegrade like toilet paper. It could start building up just outside of the pipes in your house, and lead to an expensive plumbing bill.

If it makes it all the way to our plant, it can jam our equipment.

It’s a misconception that what we do is disgusting.

There’s a big “yuck” factor, but we’re renewing the water, and putting it back into the South Platte River cleaner than most of the river is itself. We take pride in what we do.

A lot of the solids that come in are turned into a product, called “biosolids,” used to grow crops east of Denver. We have big tanks that break down the proteins and amino acids, then we de-water it to a Play-Dohlike consistency.

Knowing the process I have an earth science degree, and I wanted to work in the sciences. I got a water quality management degree

Karen Bish handles community outreach for the city’s wastewater treatment plant, and said she’s happy to be part of the process of keeping our water clean. DAVID GILBERT from Red Rocks Community College, then got an internship and later a job as an operator at the plant. I did that for 14 years.

That’s how I can give the tours — I know the process inside and out.

Wastewater was more interesting than just studying water, because there’s so many more microorganisms and things.

‘Poo humor’ We love poo humor. Here’s one: What do you do when you get swallowed by an elephant?

Walk around until you get pooped out!

Some people have that “yuck” factor when they hear where I work, but what we do is really beneficial. If we weren’t there, the stuff you flush would end up in the river, so we’re happy we do what we do.

We have a community open house on June 6. Visit spwaterrenewalpartners.org for more information.

Standing on the threshold of a new life was bittersweet for Hattie Poole, who gave a commencement address alongside classmate Ajay Davis.

“I’ve worked toward this day for so long, but now I just want time to stand still,” Poole said.

“Just one more meeting at the locker. But we don’t have any more moments.”

The class of 2018 would be missed, said Heritage Principal Stacey Riendeau.

“You have brought not flash, but substance,” Riendeau said.

Arapahoe grads look ahead to bright future

ith many students draped in honors sashes, the Arapahoe High School class of 2018 stepped into adult life on May 24 with high prospects.

The class snagged a cumulative $23 million in scholarships, said Principal Natalie Pramenko. Many students are headed to prestigious colleges, including Griffin Hampton, who will head to the Colorado School of Mines this fall on a Boettcher Scholarship.

The journey to graduation will live on in the class’ memories, said opening speaker Rafael Diner, who spoke of leaving behind his family in Mexico to study in the United States.

“We won’t measure our time together in periods or semesters, but in the time we spent with each other,” Diner said.

Looking forward was exciting for Lauren Whittemore, who plans to go on a vacation to California with her friends this summer before heading to Colorado State University in the fall.

“I’m ready for the next step, and glad to have a chance to make more memories with my friends before we go our separate ways,” Whittemore said as she filed out of the Littleton Public Schools stadium in the heat.

“Right now, though, I’m just hungry.”

Pioneer-style garden going strong Littleton Museum gardeners work the soil like their foremothers

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

G

ardening in pioneerera Littleton was more than a hobby. It was a form of female empowerment.

“Wives and children tended the garden, and whatever money they made selling the produce they grew went back to them,” said Andrea Wilhelm, a historical interpreter at the Littleton Museum.

“For women, it might be their only source of independent income, and gave them a chance to buy a new hat or a nice dress.”

Wilhelm manages the museum’s 1860s-era garden, where she utilizes period techniques, antique tools and authentic heirloom seeds to grow piles of produce. With the threat of frost now past, Wilhelm and her fellow interpreters are busily planting seeds in the museum’s gardens, taking advantage of the region’s narrow growing season. By July, the museum’s patches of bare earth will be transformed, flush with life and heavy with fruit grown without MiracleGro or Sevin dust.

A family of four likely would have needed about an acre of garden space to grow their own fruits, veggies and herbs, Wilhelm said, with any surplus sold in Denver.

“When settlers moved out here, they knew it was a dry place, but they planted lots of things just to see what worked,” Wilhelm said.

Cold-weather crops work well using period techniques, Wilhelm said. Asparagus, chard, kale, peas, spinach and lettuce grow well in her garden. She grows tomatoes and peppers too, though she said the historical record is unclear on how common those would have been in pioneer times.

“Those do much better if you can start them in a cold frame, and we’re pretty confident they didn’t have anything like that,” Wilhelm said.

Gardening in Littleton had gotten scads easier only 30 years later, said Kathie Owens-Tucker, a historical interpreter who manages the museum’s 1890s-era garden.

Kathie Owens-Tucker, a historical interpreter, demonstrates how she weeds the museum’s 1890s garden with a vintage tool she calls a “scarifying hoe” that she found at an antique store. “It’s great for taking out weeds,” Owens-Tucker said. “No herbicide necessary.”

People kind of freaked out about becoming disconnected from nature, and it became a point of pride to have a productive garden.”

Gardeners in the 1890s often swapped seeds and produce, she said, and had access to oodles of seed varieties through catalogs that modern gardeners can only imagine.

“They had all kinds of tomatoes, ranging in color from orange to black to purple,” Owens-Tucker said. “There were perhaps thousands of varieties of apples. Today we have a few hundred at best.”

At its heart, though, 1890s gardening was about connecting with the divine.

Owens-Tucker said. “There’s research today that shows the benefits of getting kids

out in nature, but back then they didn’t need studies to tell them that.”

Littleton High seniors get warm send-off

BY SCOTT GILBERT SGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

joyous crowd under glorious sunshine cheered the Littleton High School Class of 2018 on May 25 as the seniors became graduates and launched the next steps of their life journeys.

The sense of camaraderie among graduates felt palpable, in keeping with the words of Sarah Elizabeth Payson, student body president: “To the Class of 2018 — thank you for being a phenomenal class the last four years.”

Valedictorian Reganne Layne Fornstrom exhorted her classmates: “Go experience and create more moments and find your own extraordinary path.”

Principal Amy Oaks recounted a recent news story about Greeley West High School teacher Brian Holmes, who was taking students for an end-of-the-school-year ice cream treat when he plunged into a pond — cell phone and wallet in his pockets — to save a young girl from drowning.

Oaks said that Littleton High School teachers, administrators and students would have done the same thing, and specifically told students: “You would have gone in that lake with your cell phone — which would be a good thing.”

“Jump in that lake — be that hero,” Oaks said.

“I am so proud to be your principal.”

Colorado AG warns of fake Medicare notices Scam seeks personal information via telephone STAFF REPORT

CALM AFTER THE STORM

The distribution of new Medicare cards has prompted predators to try to trick consumers into giving up their money or personal information, according to a news release from Colorado Attorney General Cynthia H. Coffman.

Coffman issued a warning in early May to be on the lookout for scammers calling, emailing or texting and claiming to be officials from Medicare. The scammers might threaten to cancel health benefits, or claim to need payment or private information to issue a new Medicare card, the release said.

Medicare started issuing new cards to all beneficiaries in April; however, in Colorado, cards will be mailed sometime after June. To better protect consumers’ identities, the cards no longer contain Social Security numbers.

Instead, Medicare is assigning unique numbers to each patient for use with doctor visits and medical claims.

Following is some information to help consumers avoid getting caught up in a Medicare card scam:

SM

New cards will be sent directly to consumers’ mailing address. To update address, call Social Security at 800-772-1213 or visit ssa.gov/myaccount.

If a consumer receives a phone call, email or text offering to help with this transition, they should ignore the offer. Consumers should never provide or verify any personal information to an unsolicited caller or written request.

New cards will be mailed in waves.

Cards for Colorado residents are not scheduled to be mailed until after June. It is likely that Colorado beneficiaries will not receive their new cards until late 2018 or early 2019.

Once consumers receive their new cards, they should shred and/or thoroughly destroy their old cards.

Consumers should provide their new Medicare numbers only to their known doctors, insurers, pharmacists and health-care providers Anyone with questions about the Medicare card transition can contact AARP Foundation ElderWatch at 303-222-4444 or www.aarp.org/ aarp-foundation/our-work/income/ elderwatch/.

If you have been victimized by a Medicare card scam, or wish to report suspicious activity, you can file a report online at www.stopfraudcolorado.gov/about-consumerprotection/report-fraud.

Artist’s long career has had phenomenal self life QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

H

ere’s a pop quiz: Who is Cindy Sherman?

Her picture should be on a postage stamp. The picture would be one she had taken herself.

See that photograph running with this column? It’s one of only nine known photographs of me. I like it like that. Why do I need photographs of myself ? They have one in obits, Jennifer has one that was taken before my face turned into a pickle, and the DMV took one that permits me to drive and to board an airplane.

Sufficient, but out of touch with everyone else.

Cindy Sherman (born 1954) studied photography at Buffalo State College. Does that help?

I could spend the rest of the column praising

her and listing her contributions to modern and contemporary art.

Sherman is credited with the “selfie.” Not by anyone else yet. Just by me.

If you really wanted to get tight about it, Albrecht Dürer was just as responsible, and so was Rembrandt van Rijn. They both documented themselves in countless self-portraits long before there were Nikons and Hasselblads. And camera phones.

Architect Frank Gehry said artists need to find a niche. He found his, and Sherman found hers when she was an undergraduate at Buffalo State. I have tried and tried to find one, but time is running out, and I’ve conceded (mostly). But I am forever in awe of those — especially my contemporaries — who found theirs.

Without cheating.

You can cheat in art. You can appeal to our most fundamental fascinations, without really contributing anything that is truly nutritive: i.e., those interminable “Star Wars” films.

Sherman started taking photographs of herself when she was an undergraduate, and she hasn’t stopped yet.

I admit I once had a crush on Sherman. She has California-girl looks, but you have to work to find it, because she never looks exactly the same twice. She documents herself with appearance-altering costumes, makeup and prosthetics.

For better or worse, the world is full of Cindy Shermans. At its worst, there have been SEE SMITH, P13

Culture is illuminated after dark Zoo, museums offer evening events for adults

isit Denver’s cultural hot spots like the Denver Zoo or Museum of Nature & Science during a summer day and you’ll see children of all ages running around everywhere.

While it’s always fun to experience Denver’s many cultural amenities as a family, just as many adults want to explore on their own. Maybe, even, while having a drink or two.

“Adults want the opportunity to learn, too,” said Jessa Phillips, the Museum of Nature & Science’s adult programs manager. “Because of that, the museum offers experiences that offer an adult night out.”

When facilities like the zoo, museum, Museum of Contemporary Art and more shut down after regular hours, that doesn’t mean they’re closed. Instead, they offer specialty programming that provides more depth, entertainment and a different kind of community.

“This is a different angle of the zoo than most people see when we’re open and full of crowds,” said Jake Kubié, communications manager with the Denver Zoological Foundation. “We want to make SEE EVENTS, P20

The issues of migration, ethnicity, culture and spirituality are the focal point of the show “Lost in Place,” which is running for one night only at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd.

“About 10 years COMING ago my co-director/ ATTRACTIONS husband Jim LaVita and I wanted to do an original evening of dance/theater that spoke to the issue of immigration,” said Katie Elliott. “As we investigated the material, the theme grew into a larger idea that Clarke Reader revolved around the `loss of a sense of place.’”

The evening is split into three sections — a geographical loss as one moves from point A to B, a temporal loss of place as one moves from childhood to adulthood, and a spiritual loss of sense of place as one moves from life to death.

This production is particularly timely for several reasons — the first because of the importance of these issues in the current political climate, and because LaVita passed away in October As choreographer, Elliott uses movement that focuses on the individual identity of each performer/ character. Using the structure of a Social Security number as a framework, Elliott offers prompts to create these identities by using positive and negative personality traits and individual story expressed through gesture.

“Audiences will be taken on a journey. Because we are a modern/contemporary company we express ideas through a narrative theme rather than a story,” Elliott said. “So, our audience will experience humorous, dramatic, and poignant pieces that they can connect to through personal attachment.”

Native American artist has major Denver exhibit Jeffrey Gibson, born in Colorado, lives and works in New York

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Like a Hammer” at the Denver Art Museum is the first exhibition in a major museum for artist Jeffrey Gibson (Mississipi Band Choctaw/Cherokee). The exhibition just opened on the first floor of the Hamilton Building and runs through Aug. 12, with a mix of traditional design and contemporary presence.

Gibson was born in Colorado Springs in 1972, lives and works in New York, teaches at Bard College and incorporates his heritage into distinctive, contemporary works, including abstract sculptures, paintings and prints.

Materials include rawhide, beads, sterling silver, wool blankets, metal cones, beads, fringe and sinew, as well as paint.

Introductory comments at a press preview told of Gibson’s extreme unhappiness with his art in the middle of the first decade of this century, which led him to razor paintings from their frame, head for a coin laundry and wash them in hot water and detergent.

Fragments of those paintings appear in textile works in “Like a Hammer,” looking pale and stressed, compared to

Their second son, Ravi, have followed in his parents’ legendary steps, playing with jazz giants like Elvin Jones, Terence Blanchard and McCoy Tyner. He also sees many of the reissues of his parents’ most important works.

An interactive tribute to The Beatles No two people’s lists of favorite Beatles songs are going to look the same — that’s what happen when a group has as many stone-cold classics as the Fab Four.

But that’s what Beatles tribute group Yesterday and Today thrive on. The band anchored by The McGuigan Brothers, provide audiences with an interactive listening experience.

Yesterday and Today are stopping by the Lone Tree Arts Center as part of its Tunes on the Terrace series at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 8.

Unlike many tribute bands, Yesterday and Today perform as themselves and leave the song choices completely to the audience. A set list is created five minutes before the show, based upon the songs selected by members of the crowd.

As such, every show is a different experience.

“I Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You” commands a long look: a female figure in dance attire, with a ceramic head and legs made from tipi poles. Haunting, it and other similar figures “speak of effigy pots from Gibson’s ChoctawCherokee background,” Lukavic commented. “He draws from the past, creates futuristic work …” Gibson on several occasions revealed his displeasure with the art world’s tendency to consider Native American art as craft or decorative arts.

“Gibson did not feel he had a way to express himself visually in ways that people could connect with,” said Lukavic. “Gibson blends indigenous aesthetics and contemporary methods … His work offers our visitors an experience that doesn’t exist elsewhere and challenges the generic categories of art, presenting a new way of conceptualizing what people see and experience.”

Gibson pointed out greenish patches of those earlier paintings in several new pieces, adding that this was the first time he’d seen his work together.

“I realized that art history is not inclusive of native artists,” he said as he talked about his punching-bag series — some covered with Osage-type beadwork and named “Everlast.” The series resulted from a recommendation that he work out frustration by boxing. The image suggests white power, violence — and peacefulness.

Another work, “I Am Woman,” refers to huge numbers of missing native, indigenous women.

“My use of color is free, exuberant … a choice of rawhide versus beaded offers a lens of indigenous perspective that changes how we read them …

The joint is jumpin’ at Town Hall Arts Center IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton, the six-piece band, led by amazing pianist/music director Donna Debreceni, jumps right into the title song of “Ain’t Misbehavin’” as lights come up and the talented singing/dancing cast of five appears with one of jazz pianist Fats Waller’s best-known songs.

The prolific Waller’s many, many lively, often humorous, songs are part of our national cultural fabric and readers may have the experience we did at looking up a song list — wow! Didn’t realize he wrote that one! The performance is a tribute to the musicians of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s who filled theaters and nightclubs like the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom with music during the Harlem Renaissance — music that has mostly stayed in the limelight across the nation.

The show is especially a tribute to the brilliant, funny stride pianist, Thomas Wright “Fats” Waller, who started playing the piano at 6 years old and soon learned to play violin, organ and string bass. He played at the church where his

Actors/singers Randy Chalmers and Leonard Barrett are in the cast of Town Hall’s production of “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” with music by jazz pianist Fats Waller.

COURTESY PHOTO father was a Baptist minister and at 15, was organist at the Lincoln Theatre in Harlem.

Director Robert Wells writes that after his mother died, the young man, who chose not to honor his father’s wishes that he follow his footsteps in the church, moved in with the family of pianist Russell B. T. Brooks, who introduced him to the “stride” school of piano jazz.

The set has a bandstand onstage filled by six musicians, tied to the dance floor/performance area in front of it with steps the actors flowed back and forth on … The musical is simply a revue of songs by the

versatile composer Director Bob Wells has cast five strong singer/actors, who can solo or blend voices with one or more of the others — and in a wide range of styles.

And the sound of all five combined is especially smooth and fine. Waller is the pioneer of lively stride piano and his ongoing gifts to this country’s jazz repertoire that make almost anyone want to dance.

(Some audience members danced out after the performance.)

One could see the top of Debreceni’s blond head bouncing as she delivered on the especially lively songs —

“Ain’t Misbehavin’” plays through June 17 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Performances: 7:30 p.m.

Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays plus 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 2 and 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 10. Also note: an artists’ reception is planned at 5-8 p.m. June 1, part of First Fridays in Littleton, which may draw audiences downtown earlier to visit the Depot Gallery and many businesses that stay open late. Town Hall tickets: 303-794-2787, ext. 5; townhallartscenter.org. which are interspersed with slow, sentimental numbers like “Honeysuckle Rose” …

Leonard E. Barrett Jr. and Mary Louise Lee are skilled, veteran Denver area singers/ actors, who have not appeared at Town Hall previously, but worked together especially well. Radjulari is new to the area, but has years of national and international experience as a jazz/soul vocalist and actress — a welcome addition to the lively, local theater community. Randy Chalmers, in his fifth production at Town Hall, is especially known in the area

for his charming dancing/singing role as Seaweed J. Stubbs in “Hairspray” and he recently appeared at the Aurora Fox in “Passing Strange.” Krisangela Washington has appeared at Town Hall in “Violet” and “Legally Blonde” and has performed at the Aurora Fox, Denver Center and Arvada Center.

This revue, conceived by Richard Maltby Jr. and Murray Horwitz and originally created and directed by Maltby, won a Tony Award for Best Musical and is just a happy, well-organized doorway to a delightful evening of musical theater.

Barrett’s sassy delivery of “Tain’t Nobody’s Business If I Do” and the company’s joyous “The Joint is Jumpin’” contrast with Radjulari and Barrett’s soft “Two Sleepy People” … Barrett’s “Your Feet’s Too Big” had the audience laughing as did Chalmers and Barrett in “Fat and Greasy.”

Thomas Wright “Fats” Waller (1904-1943) was a serious jazz artist, who must have written and/or performed almost constantly — night and day — and unfortunately wore himself out early. Would that we had an even greater body of jazz works to enjoy …

IN YOUR BUSINESS White Construction Group names new president Chris Haugen, a 21-year veteran of White Construction Group, based in Castle Rock, has been promoted to president of the firm.

Haugen joined the firm in 1997 as a carpenter looking for short-term employment, and after 21 years, has held a variety of positions including carpenter, project manager, estimator, senior estimator and, most recently, vice president of business development.

Tim White, founder and former president, and Doug Decker, 28-year veteran and former vice president, will transition out of daily operations and into board-level positions of chairman and vice chairman of the board, respectively.

JR Keller, another longtime fixture at White, will be promoted to vice president of Operations.

Keller joined the company in 2003 and has served as project manager, estimator, senior estimator and operations manager.

Bill Thomas, the new vice president of finance, came to White in 2017 from Duro Electric where he worked as controller for the past seven years.

“There’s a time when you just need to let the next generation take over what you’ve started,” Tim White said in a news release. “We’re not naïve to the fact that we’re in a fast-changing time and that requires a lot of talent and energy. We’re very fortunate as an organization to have those people on board.”

Artful design work honored Designs By Sundown was recently

named a finalist in the ELITE Award category by Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado. The company was honored for its work on a local ranch and home.

Designs By Sundown, based in Littleton, planned a landscape that blended elements of city and country, modernity with Old World Morocco, and design with nature, according to a news release from Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado.

Designs By Sundown also revegetated a steep hillside to craft a landscape that would drain properly and merge with the surrounding open space.

The ELITE Award-winning projects reflect the 21st century values of sustainability, service and environmental stewardship, the release said. The award illustrates how Colorado’s landscape companies deliver innovation, best management practices, originality, professionalism and problem solving, ALCC Executive Director John McMahon said in the release.

“These awards celebrate the connec-

Solar carport unveiled in Centennial A new solar carport unveiled April 25 at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Centennial is expected to offset more than 12,700 tons of carbon dioxide emissions in the next two decades, said a news release from SunPower, which designed and engineered the carport.

The solar carport is the second such carport in Centennial, which enjoys more than 250 days of sunshine each year. It includes more than 540 high-efficiency SunPower solar panels that are expected to produce more than 400,950 kilowatt hours of energy during the first year, and 11.6 million kWh over its projected 30-year lifespan.

“This solar carport is another example of Colorado’s leading role in clean

energy technology,” Gov. John Hickenlooper said in the release. “It’s projects like these, and so many others around the state, that will help us achieve our climate goals.”

The project also includes the installation of high-efficiency LED lighting to further reduce the annual energy use load by 79,000 kWh. This will allow the solar project to produce 85 percent of the building’s energy needs, all from a clean renewable source.

The solar carport system was installed as a result of a public-private partnership between Centennial Sunrise Harvest, LLC, the U.S. General Services Administration, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the City of Centennial, Independent Power Systems and SunPower Corp.

The economics that made this project possible were provided by private investment capital from Centennial Sunrise Harvest, LLC, renewable energy credits from Xcel Energy and federal tax credits.

the zoo more accessible for adults and show that we are a place people can learn, explore and even have a date night.”

When it comes to after-hours activities, these facilities’ events mainly fall into two categories — series and one-offs.

The Museum of Nature & Science has a monthly Science Lounge series specifically for those who are 21 years old and older, featuring rotating topics and special drinks on the third Thursday of every month.

Likewise, the zoo hosts the Watering Hole, an adult lecture series that features a unique theme, light appetizers and a cash bar.

The Museum of Contemporary Art has several after-hour programs during the summer, including the Three Things, Any Three Things series, which is an experiment in performance, lecture and music. There is also B-Side Music Fridays, a rooftop summer music series focused on presenting the best emerging Denver bands.

Finally, the museum works with the Denver Center for the Performing Arts to host Mixed Taste, which pairs two speakers, giving presentations on completely unrelated subjects, followed by questions from the audience on both topics at the same time.

“These after-hours events allow

the museum to better integrate into people’s everyday life,” said Clayton Kenney, director of experience and strategy with the MCA. “They also help make MCA Denver a social gathering place, and not just a white box with objects on the walls.”

Then there are the special events that visitors have just one opportunity to participate in.

Such events include Do At The Zoo, which will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. on June 21, which allows attendees the chance to sample dishes from 70 of the city’s best restaurants and purveyors of the local craft beer, wine and spirits. Tickets include an open bar as well as live musical entertainment.

“We have tasting stations all over the zoo, so people can explore while they’re eating,” said Kubié.

foreign objects. The truck was thoroughly cleaned before being wheeled out for the event, utilities operator Eric Mielke assured bystanders.

The Meet Greet & Eat events are a fun way for the public to get up close and personal with city leaders and departments, said Mayor Debbie Brinkman.

“This is a chance for us to show people that these are the people and this is the equipment it takes to keep the city humming,” Brinkman said.

“People don’t normally think of my guys unless something breaks,” said Keith Reester, who heads the city’s Public Works department. “I’m glad we get out here and get the pulse of citizens.”

Freed from the stoicism of the dais, city councilmembers let their hair down, with Councilmember Kyle Schlachter kicked back on a blanket with his wife and kids, and Councilmember Jerry Valdes tough to discern from the fellow middle-aged dads he chatted with.

City Manager Mark Relph, perhaps true to his engineering background, sported one of the few tucked-in shirts on site.

Councilmember Karina Elrod was one of few city leaders who reported talking shop with citizens.

“I got to talking with some folks about bringing fiber optic internet to town,” Elrod said. “We’re not quite there yet, though. That may come as

Some city-affiliated groups pitched their merits to potential donors, like the Friends of Littleton K-9, a volunteer group that raises funds to buy more police dogs for the Littleton Police Department.

“Littleton currently has two police dogs, and we’d like to see that brought up to four,” said Sue Hanson, a volunteer with the group. “[K-9] Officer

Koda will likely retire in the next four or five years, and buying another dog by then may cost upwards of $25,000.

They’re important for many reasons, but among them is that it’s easier to lose a dog in the line of duty than a human officer with a family.”

Under the big tent, Littleton Fire Rescue manned the busiest booth, with LFR Chief Chris Armstrong fielding questions about the upcoming absorption of the city’s firefighting force by South Metro Fire Rescue, a consolidated regional service.

“People are mostly just curious,” Armstrong said about the sometimes-

contentious politics of the future of Littleton firefighting. “How much will I pay? What kind of service will I receive in the future? It’s nice to have these conversations face-to-face.”

Across the field, kids crammed into a bounce house, perhaps unaware that they frolicked amidst the elements of their civic future.

“I’m glad the kids are enjoying themselves,” said Joan Facchinelo, who was grand marshal of the Western Welcome Week parade in 2013. “This brings them into the process of growing up to be part of Littleton.”

tion to his players about the team standings during the round, but teammates Alyssa Chin, Rachel Penzenstadler and Kaylynn Xia were watching behind the 18th green and knew the Bruins were in contention when Canon was putting.

“They didn’t know where we were,” said Smith. “It was a matter of taking care of business. We’re going to grow and still get better from

t has almost become run-of-the-mill these days to tune into the news on television or car radio to hear about some decision that leaves you shaking your head.

The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) recently made news with an announcement that I am having OVERTIME trouble accepting and that has me wallowing around trying to see both sides of the subject.

The NFHS and NFHS Network have entered into a partnership with PlayVS to start e-sports competition in high Jim Benton schools.

Starting this fall, PlayVS will introduce e-sports to high school and state associations with an initial rollout in at least 15 states. After regular-season competition, state championship games will be played before a live audience.

E-sports or electronic sports is a form of competition using video games played on computers, video game consoles and even some arcade machines.

In the NFHS message, it was pointed out that e-sports is a way for students who haven’t been involved in a sport or activity to become involved. And the costs to implement e-sports are minimal compared to starting more traditional sports.

That is a plus for e-sports competition, but I have a big problem with youngsters already glued to devices and playing video games. This plays right into their hands, and I am talking from experience of trying to get my grandsons to take a break before starting another game.

Selection of the right games for high school e-sports competition is critical.

Colorado High School Activities Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green says CHSAA is investigating e-sports competition.

“E-sports is gaining traction across the nation,” she said. “Nineteen states will either conduct or pilot an event next year. Colorado has over 22,000 high school students participating. We are only in the research and learning phase at this time. Current data is reporting that over 200 collegiate institutions are offering full and partial scholarships for student participants.

The games will be aligned with mission/vision of educationally based activities.”

Cherry Creek wins state girls golf title Two-day tourney ended with school getting its 11th championship

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Coach Randy Smith spent a lot of time for two days watching the persistence of his Cherry Creek girls golf team.

The Bruins, three strokes back of Regis Jesuit and two behind Grandview after the first round of the Class 5A girls state golf tournament on May 21, had a three-golfer final round of 235 on May 22 and won the state championship for the 11th time in school history.

Creek, with two freshmen, a sophomore and senior on its fourplayer team, wound up two strokes in front of Centennial League rival Grandview in the team standings of the tournament held at the Boulder County Club. Creek came in at 478 strokes compared to 480 for Grandview and for third-place Fossil Ridge.

Payton Canon led the way for the

Castle View: Cassie McCord 96-94—190 Chaparral: Katherine Maclcolm 85-74—159; Kira Petersen 95-96—191.

Bruins as the senior tied for third place in the individual standings.

“This came down to persistence,” said Smith. “They just wouldn’t give up. We faced a ton of adversity out there. All season, overcoming adversity has been our number one priority and then let the results handle themselves.

In the fourth portion of the exhibit, the video shows people responding to items in the museum’s collection rooms … a Navajo man talked to a wooden Navajo weaving comb, as though to his grandmother: “I miss you grandma … are the sheep still there? I cherish the memory of you.”

In the Kiowa language, objects were asked their permission to use them in the exhibit … Patterns in dancer’s costumes are referenced in Gibson’s works. For example, a woman in a jingle dress steps off an elevator and dances down the hall …

“I think my work offers a countervision to other things happening in the world,” Gibson said.

Creek might be facing Lone Star for the state title or Valor Christian challenging Golden View Classical Academy in a state championship showdown.

The NFHS and PlayVS outlined how the competition will work, starting with games that have been approved by state associations. Each season will consists of preseason, regular-season and postseason competitions, with a state champion being crowned at the end of each season.

Student teams are matched against other schools based on skill level. There will be no traveling and all matches will happen within the walls of their own schools, with competition occurring via the PlayVS online platform.

Each school can field as many teams as they can for as many games in a season. Schools are required to have a faculty adviser, access to internet and computers. And students are required to pay a $16-per-month participation fee.

So I can see it soon where Cherry

Crazy first-place tie I’ve seen plenty of soccer games that have ended in ties, plus a few horseracing and NASCAR photo finishes.

I watched another dead-heat finish on May 19 at the state track meet. And this one was for first place in a Class 4A race as Valor Christian’s Dane Palazzo and Wyatt Wieland of Pine Creek tied for first in the 300-meter hurdles.

Both runners lunged toward the finish line and it took more than five minutes to decide that no winner could be determined.

In this day of technology, there is some device available for almost every stride an athlete takes, but the photo that was displayed on the scoreboard confirmed that it was impossible to conclude which runner was first.

Both runners were timed in 38.01.

this. We knew we had to play our game regardless of what happen. If we took care of business I was really confident we would be in the top three. It was a matter of putting the ball in the fairway, problem-solving if you don’t, taking a couple putts and moving on to the next hole. You have to be as emotionally even-keeled as possible. You have to

earn every single stroke.”

Canon, who will attend Oregon School of Technology in the fall, opened with 3-over-par 75 and finished with a final-round 77 for a 152 total.

“It was a fight all two days,” confessed Canon. “I wasn’t hitting the ball particularly well but I got through it. Even before the tournament started I wanted to win. So my role on the team was to shoot a low round and let them know they can do that too. It is surreal to win the state title. I’ve been waiting four years for this.”

“It was kind of like one of those things out of a TV show,” said Palazzo.

“A tie for first place, it’s just crazy.”

Wieland used the same terminology.

“I knew I had him the entire race but I think he beat me over the last hurdle,” he said. “So I was kind of expecting to see myself in second but to see it was a tie, that was crazy.”

Palazzo said the result of the race wasn’t totally unexpected.

“We knew it was going to be close but it was closer than either of us expected,” he said.

“It is rare that the electronic finish can’t distinguish a solid placement,” said CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green. “The reveal of the picture showed the runners in a dead heat, truly a photo finish.”

May 18-21 in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Kupcho had a 1-under-par 71 to wrap up the title on the final day after rounds of 65, 74 and 70 on the first three days.

New basketball coach Castle View High School has hired Jeff Langrehr as its new head boys basketball coach.

Langrehr has accumulated over 300 wins in Kansas, where his career included stints at Great Bend and Gardner Edgerton high schools. He has coached two state championship basketball team and has also been a head baseball coach.

He will be an English teacher at Castle View and his son, Brooks, will be an incoming sophomore.

NCAA champion Wake Forest junior Jennifer Kupcho, a graduate of Westminster’s Jefferson Academy, won the NCAA women’s Division I championship, which was held

Creek freshman Chin had rounds of 83 and 78 for a two-day total of 161 while Xia and Penzenstadler had steady totals of 169 and 172 for the Bruins.

“Payton was solid as a rock,” said Smith. “Alyssa Chin, our phenomenal freshman, was just incredible. She didn’t buckle at all under the pressure.”

Canon finished as the highest of any golfer from South Metro schools.

Highlands Ranch senior Jenna Chun, who tied for medalist honors last season with Grandview’s Amy Chit-

koksoong only to lose a playoff on the third extra hole, struggled and finished in ninth place. Chitkoksoong came in in eighth place.

Chun shot a final-round 79 that followed an opening-round 75 for a twoday total of 154.

Rock Canyon’s Brandy McClain came in 10th with rounds of 77 and 78 for a 155 total.

Grandview freshman Emma Bryant, in third place after the opening day, won the state individual championship with rounds of 73 and 70 for a 143 total.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

Notices are meant to be noticed.
