‘Underpants’ author keeps kids reading and laughing

MY NAME IS

Dav Pilkey aims to impart wisdom through his silly stories BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton native Ruth Brand started singing opera to cope with depression, and now her skill has taken her around the world.

RUTH BRAND

Opera singer, entrepreneur, Littleton native The sound of music Music is my life. When I was a sophomore in high school, I discovered opera when I was failing chemistry class. I went to the library to study, and found some opera CDs. I fell in love with the marriage of Figaro. I discovered I had a voice for it. It helped me through a lot of dark times when I was a teenager — I have manic depressive disorder, and it helped me through the depressive episodes. It gave me an emotional release I couldn’t find anywhere else. You can’t just openly sob and weep at school, so I would go home and listen to opera and cry. I’m doing a lot of intense studying. It’s like getting a master’s degree, but I’m just studying under a master teacher. It’s like working with a sensei or a guru.

DAVID GILBERT

Singing around the world Most recently, I was Galatea in the Denver Opera Company’s production of Acis and Galatea. We performed in a church in southwest Littleton. Central City Opera wants me to come sing for them. I’ve sung in Puerto Rico and Italy. I’m an arts entrepreneur — I’m starting a foundation that will help young opera companies hire the talent they want to hire. We’ll give grants to companies who want to hire highend talent. They’ll have to meet certain stipulations. They’ll have to have a singer over age 35 debuting in a role. They’ll have to be doing outreach in their community. It’s definitely in its early stages. I’m born and raised in Littleton. I went to Colorado Academy, then the University of Denver, and Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon for a little while. I’m engaged to be married, and I direct a couple music groups. If you have suggestions for My Name Is, please contact David Gilbert at dgilbert@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

Getting kids to read can be difficult, but “Captain Underpants” author Dav Pilkey knows a trick: Make them laugh. Pilkey, whose series about a whiteytightie-wearing superhero has been giving kids the giggles for 20 years, had the kids of Lenski Elementary School in stitches when he visited last week as part of a tour to support his new book, “Dog Man.” Over the course of a goofy slide show, Pilkey, 51, told students that as a kid he felt buried under the weight of labels adults put on him: hyperactive, disruptive, inattentive. Pilkey, who was later diagnosed with dyslexia, spent plenty of time sitting alone in the hallway and started drawing comics to stay connected to his friends still in the classroom. “Today they’d say I have ADHD,” Pilkey said. “You know what that stands for, right? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Delightfulness!” Pilkey passed out on-the-spot drawings of his characters, but the meat of his visit

Local business leaders form advocacy group Littleton Business Chamber aims to serve as voice to council BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s business community has a new voice. The Littleton Business Chamber, a project of a group of local business owners, held its inaugural meeting on Sept. 21, kicking off what members hope will be a conduit between the city’s businesses and government. “A bunch of business guys and myself feel like we need a stronger voice for business in Littleton,” said Pat Dunahay, owner of PDA Roadgear and one of the group’s founders. “We perceived a gap in representation, and we’re trying to fill it.” The chamber currently has a roster of 15 businesses, with commitments from 15 more, and 15-20 individual memberships, according to Dunahay. The organization hopes to have

40 businesses by the end of the year. Membership is limited to businesses, business owners and landowners inside Littleton city limits. The chamber is the brainchild of Steve Werges, property manager and owner of Campfire Brookie Press; Dunahay, who is also a SouthPark Owners Association board member; Kal Murib, owner of Murib Properties; Keith Taylor, owner of Jazz Car Wash; and Chad Hemmat, principal partner of the Anderson Hemmat law firm. They also are on the chamber’s board, which is rounded out by Lee Renner, owner of Renner Sports Surfaces, and Martha Stevenson, founder of MattiMedia Group. Currently, many Littleton businesses are members of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, which covers 18 cities and parts of four counties. Several dozen are members of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association, which covers the several blocks around Main Street. Dunahay said that left a void when it comes to

Council candidates talk growth during forum Development debated in event at rec center

ABOUT THE ELECTION Nine candidates are running for four seats on Littleton’s city council. Two at-large seats are up for grabs between four candidates. The candidate with the most votes will serve a four-year term, and the candidate with the secondmost votes will serve a two-year term.

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s nine city council candidates were in the same room for what may prove to be the only time, to participate in a candidate forum organized by community activists. Candidates answered a handful of questions posed to them by a moderator, and found a fair amount of common ground, though differences emerged on key issues like the possibility of growth restrictions. Littleton’s seven-person council has four seats up for grabs this fall: Districts 1 and 3 and two at-large seats. The forum, held Sept. 28 at Buck Recreation Center, was organized by local community watchdog Pam Chadbourne, who said she felt compelled to assemble the event after finding out that no other full-scale candidate forums seemed likely to be held. Chadbourne said the forum followed the League of Women Voters’ guidelines. Greg Breitbarth, Heritage High School’s speech and debate coach, moderated. On issues like addressing traffic congestion and budget shortfalls, the candidates were largely in sync. Traffic will be best addressed through a comprehensive approach with surrounding cities and state agencies, went the conventional wisdom, and the budget should be addressed by taking a hard look at spending cuts and a creative approach to finding new revenue streams. Growth and development, however, quickly emerged as the dominant topic, and candidates answered several questions related to how the city should handle the influx of population to the city and region, and how council should interact with developers.

Doug Clark is defending his at-large seat, and his challengers are Kyle Schlachter, Karina Elrod and Carol Brzeczek. The District 1 seat is open after Bill Hopping decided not to run for re-election. Patrick Driscoll and Kama Suddath are facing off for the seat. Littleton’s nine city council candidates prepare for a candidate forum held at Buck Recreation Center on Sept. 28. DAVID GILBERT All candidates agreed that citizen input should drive the growth process, and that the city ought to develop a wellrounded growth master plan. Differences emerged, though, over issues like the possibility of a growth cap. Some cities have instituted growth caps to maintain their character, said Carol Brzeczek, an at-large candidate who has sponsored several citizen initiatives and is often associated with the Sunshine community watchdog group. “We all moved here for the small-town character,” Brzeczek said. “We’ll lose it if we accommodate all that growth. “You can be better without being bigger.” Growth isn’t always necessary, said Doug Clark, an at-large incumbent seeking re-election who, over the years, has served four terms, two as mayor, and who is also a regular Sunshine meeting attendee. “We need to decide how much more we want to grow,” Clark said. “There’s an idea that if you’re not growing, you’ll die. But there are three cities close to us — Columbine Valley, Cherry Hills Vil-

“I hope that when kids read my books, they associate reading with fun,” Pilkey said. “Reading was a challenge for me as a kid. It was like homework — something I had to do instead of something I wanted to do. My mission is to get kids to associate reading with fun. There’s so much research out there that kids who read for fun do better in school, in spelling,

lage and Bow Mar — that are healthy without growth.” Change is going to happen, said at-large candidate Kyle Schlachter, who is a member of the LIFT board, which deals with urban renewal. “But I wouldn’t say I’m pro growth,” Schlachter said. “I’d say we need to dictate and manage growth and change. Frankly, there’s so much divisiveness, fear and anger about the future, and I think we need to focus on what brings us together, what makes us proud, and talk about a holistic approach rather than individual buildings.” Managing growth is about being thoughtful, said at-large candidate Karina Elrod, who is also on the LIFT board. “It’s about quality, not quantity,” Elrod said. “When we think about small town character, that means our historic downtown, and our neighborhoods. It doesn’t mean growth changes those things. It can mean adding vibrancy to other areas.” A growth cap could have big effects on the housing market, said Patrick Driscoll, a District 1 candidate who has received the endorsement of

vocabulary, math, and they have better communication skills. They’re even more empathetic people. It doesn’t just change their school life, it changes their whole life. I hope I can be an ambassador for reading for fun.” The stories are relatable, said Cullen Murphy, a 9-year-old fourth-grader who introduced Pilkey at the assembly. “George and Harold (the main characters in “Captain Underpants”) remind me of me and my best friend,” Murphy said. “I like to imagine it’s us, and that it’s our principal running around in underwear and a cape.”

much of Littleton’s newlyformed Business Chamber. “I think about Boulder and their 1 percent growth,” Driscoll said. “None of us, at least not me, could afford to live there. The average home is a million dollars. We’re trying to look to the future. We want our kids to be able to live in this community. We have to look at additional growth.” Growth is a delicate topic, said Kama Suddath, Driscoll’s opponent for the open District 1 seat. “If you ask people how much growth they want, they’ll say none,” Suddath said. “What people say, that I’ve heard, is they want good redevelopment. We need to follow zoning regulations or update the ones we don’t like. That requires a plan and a vision.” Development is a complex process, said District 3 incumbent Phil Cernanec, who is seeking another term. “What do we do to create thoughtful growth?” Cernanec said. “It starts with the conversations I’ve had on people’s doorsteps — what’s the Littleton of your dreams? It goes from there to creating

After wrapping up a lengthy retelling of the plot of “Captain Underpants,” Murphy downplayed his excitement over introducing Pilkey. “It’s a big deal, but I’ve already met another famous person, so on a scale of one to 10, this is like a three,” Murphy said. “I don’t know why he’s saying that,” Cullen’s mom Maggie Murphy said. “Captain Underpants is all Cullen talks about. He’s read a bunch of the books, and we’re always listening to the soundtrack from the movie.” Pilkey’s work hits the right notes

Folks are looking for things that are exciting or add to our quality of life.” Littleton’s been going about the growth process the wrong way, said Carol Fey, another regular attendee of Sunshine meetings who is challenging Cernanec for the District 3 seat. “The purpose of zoning laws is predictability for citizens and developers,” Fey said. “Littleton runs on exemptions and exceptions, so no one knows what to expect. That causes upset. My solution is to follow the zoning law until you change it.” Littleton ought to tread lightly, said Steve Esses, a longtime softball coach who is also challenging Cernanec for the District 3 seat. “I haven’t talked to many people who want more growth,” Esses said. “They want to preserve what we have. The growth has to be done with lots of careful thought. Some of our traffic and congestion problems will be monumental.”

because he imparts sound morals and lessons while speaking on their level, said Lenski library clerk Amy Delgado. “He gets the way kids talk,” Delgado said. “He gets how terribly funny it is to them to say ‘underpants.’” Delgado said Pilkey’s books have been consistently checked out since the school announced the visit. “To them, he’s more than just an author,” Delgado said. “He’s a role model and a grown-up who’s funny. I don’t think they generally think of us as funny.”

Dachtoberfest goes out with a dash

achshund lovers bid a fun-filled farewell to a beloved tradition at the 10th and final Colorado Dachtoberfest at Cornerstone Park in Littleton on Sept. 30. The annual event, known for its “Doxie Dash” races, wrapped up for good this year after organizer Mary Alice Allery decided to go out on a high note. “We started this off as a fundraiser,” Allery said. “It developed into a festival, and continued to grow. When you grow, you need time money and people. We’re at the max of what we can do.” The event raised about $6,000 a year to help cover vet costs for a variety of Front Range dog rescues.

University of Phoenix to close campuses Officials say students will be unaffected by ‘teach-out’ BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The University of Phoenix is stopping on-campus enrollment and will close approximately 20 campuses across the country as part of a “teachout” program. The university has three Colorado locations: one in Lone Tree, one in Westminster and one in Colorado Springs. University spokesman Ryan Myers of the public relations agency the Clyde Group released an email statement addressing the changes. “As our student base shifts, we continue to adapt and restructure as needed to improve our students’ learning and career outcomes,” the statement read. “We will continue to service current students at these locations, at other approved university locations or through our online programs, until they graduate. The university will allow students to determine whether they want to complete their education on campus or online.” Myers would not disclose how many students were enrolled for in-person or online classes at any of the cam-

The University of Phoenix Lone Tree campus, shown here, is among at least 20 physical campuses across the United States no longer enrolling students for in-person classes. The “teach-out” program, in response to shifting demands in the online education field, will allow students to complete their degrees, according to a university spokesman. TOM SKELLEY puses, or whether students preferring in-person instruction at any of the specific campuses will be able to attend classes there or would have to go to a different campus. Phone calls to the university were not returned. In a letter to faculty obtained by the Phoenix Business Journal, university president Peter Cohen said shifting trends in online education precipitated the restructuring.

“We have seen enrollment at campuses decline due to an increasing number of students opting for online education, both with our university and across new online programs at other universities,” Cohen said. The university was owned and operated by Phoenix Apollo Education Group Inc. until a consortium of investors purchased the company in February for $1.1 billion.

The university began operating in 1976 and is accredited under the Higher Learning Commission, part of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The school offers online classes and in-person instruction, focusing on career training for nontraditional students pursuing an education while working. The university’s website lists 73 campuses and learning centers in the United States.

Englewood woman bikes to beat cancer Three-day participation proves to be quite a handful for cyclist BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood resident Ryan Andersen said participation in a three-day portion of the Coast 2 Coast 4 Cancer Bike Ride that began Sept. 15 was overall the neatest experience of her life. “It was amazing, it was grueling and it was inspiring all at the same time,” Andersen said about completing her ride. “The ride was physically challenging. We rode 72 miles the first day and that was hard. Day two was difficult as we rode 82 miles on a hilly course into a steady 25 miles-an-hour headwind. We completed our portion of the relay by riding 77 miles the third day.” She explained she was a part of one of the two groups in the team riding that leg of the relay. Her group road 72 miles the first day while the second group of that relay team started that morning from the end of Andersen’s first leg. When Andersen’s group completed their first day’s ride, they were taken by bus to the end of the second group’s ride, which was in Colby, Kansas. The relay format continued so, at the end of the third day, both groups

Ryan Andersen, clad in her distinctive team uniform, joins her teammates Sept. 15 as they leave the Hilton Garden Inn in Cherry Creek for the first day’s 75-mile bike ride east. The Englewood resident was among the 93 Bristol-Myers Squibb employees who made up the seven relay teams riding in the Coast 2 Coast 4 Cancer Ride. The ride is a fundraiser for Stand Up To Cancer’s research programs. The ride will cover about 2,800 miles with a goal of raising a million dollars. TOM MUNDS arrived in Kansas City, Missouri, her group by bus and the other group on their bikes, to hand the baton to the cyclist making the next leg of the ride. “I am so proud of myself for my accomplishments,” she said of her

experience. “I was amazed at how I felt once I completed my ride. I felt overcome with emotion as I thought about all the patients battling cancer and what they go through during that battle. I encourage all my colleagues to

be part of the ride because it was the most rewarding endeavors I have ever done.” Andersen was a member of the one of the two groups riding the Denverto-Kansas City leg of the ride. In all there were of seven teams of BristolMyers Squibb employees taking part in the Coast 2 Coast 4 Cancer Bike Ride. Plans are for the 93 novice bike riders who make up the seven relay teams to cover about 2,800 miles over 21 days as they raise money and awareness for Stand Up to Cancer’s research programs. In an event press release, Stand Up to Cancer, SU2C, is described as a 501(c)(3) organization raising funds to accelerate the pace of groundbreaking transitional research to develop new therapies that can be used to treat cancer patients and save lives The goal for the 2017 Coast 2 Coast 4 Cancer Bike Ride is to raise $1 million for Stand Up to Cancer. Every dollar the riders raise will be matches by Bristol-Myers Squibb. As of Sept. 15 the project had raised more than $300,000. Andersen and her teammates started their three-day ride on Sept. 15 just as the sun peeked over the horizon.

Communities adding bike lanes to enhance transportation, public safety FOR MORE INFORMATION

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Daniel Hyde use to be an avid mountain biker, but he now prefers road biking. He logs between 1,500 and 2,000 miles a year and hits the pavement throughout the Denver metro area, he said. His biggest annual venture is a 250-mile, three-day ride that he travels to the East Coast to participate in. “The big thing is, it’s a low-impact way to stay in good shape,” the 43-yearold Golden man said. For him, cycling is a way to exercise that presents a low risk of injury. Still, he said, road biking has its drawbacks. “The first word that comes to mind is scary,” Hyde said. When on the road, Hyde said he often competes for space with vehicles, and not all drivers are pleased to share the lane with cyclists. “When I have every right to the roadway as the vehicles does but the driver of the vehicle isn’t aware of that,” he said, “generally speaking, they can become very, very aggressive.” There may be good news for Hyde, who also works as a bike patrol officer on Golden’s police force, as many Denver metro communities are looking to provide a clear path for cyclists. For some municipalities, the work began several years ago, and for others, it’s just getting started. Regardless, officials say adding bike lanes doesn’t just support more modes of transportation. From a public safety perspective, they enhance the ability for motorists and cyclists to share the road safely and more comfortably. In Castle Rock, on-road bike lanes have become the new standard. When a new road goes in, excluding smaller neighborhood streets, so does a bike lane. The town has also reviewed its existing roadways and added bike lanes where appropriate, transportation planner Tom Reiff said. The town has more than 33 miles of bike lanes, and with the construction of new roads, that number is expected to rise. “Every year it goes up,” Reiff said. “It’s been a trend throughout the country for quite a while now and we just wanted to make sure that we account for all user groups.” Reiff said providing a distinguishable space for cyclists can increase safety on the road. “It alerts motorists to be on the lookout for cyclists, that they might be on the road, so it heightens their awareness,” he said. Bryce Matthews, planning manager for the Town of Parker, said the town adopted a new bike lane plan in 2004 to accomplish many of the same goals Castle Rock is working toward. Mainly, Parker sought to support bike lanes throughout town, he said, and use them to connect key areas. Often, that meant getting people safely from the trail to the grocery store or to school without forcing cyclists and pedestrians to share the sidewalk. “We have sidewalks, obviously,” he said, “but the questions was, is there a safe place where bikes can have some space within the road right-of-way

SAFETY TIPS FOR MOTORISTS AND BICYCLISTS IN COLORADO In Colorado, motorists and bicyclists have equal rights to use the road, and equal responsibility to follow traffic laws. Tips for motor vehicles sharing the road with cyclists include: • Allowing no less than 3 feet between the vehicle and the bicycle. • Waiting until it is safe to pass a cyclist, just like passing another slow-moving vehicle. If a road is too narrow for cars and bikes to ride safely side-by-side, cyclists can legally ride in or near the center of the lane. • Look to the right before turning to avoid cutting off a cyclist. A cyclist rides his bike in a marked bike lane on Sept. 26 on Ford Street in Golden. CHRISTY STEADMAN

where they’re not conflicting with pedestrians.” In the north metro area, Northglenn began a bike lane pilot project in July, adding the city’s first bike lanes as it builds a new bicycle and pedestrian master plan. The goal of the bike lane project was to give residents the experience of road biking, senior planner Ashley Kaade said. It tested both separate bike lanes along the community’s Grant Street, and “sharrow” lanes, which encourage drivers to share the road with cyclists. Community feedback will help Northglenn decide how to add bike lanes in the future as well. The new bike and pedestrian plan comes in light of the town’s changing demographics, Kaade said. “We do have a good percentage of older adults, like many communities in the Denver metro region,” Kaade said, “but we’re also seeing a lot of young families and turnover in the housing stock as well.” Bike lanes are one way to improve mobility for every demographic, she said. Golden’s Public Works Director Dan Hartman said officials found some people still aren’t comfortable riding on the street. Providing a bike lane separates cyclists from motorists and offers a degree of comfort to the biker, he said. Although, he cautioned users still need to be responsible on the road. “They aren’t perfect,” Hartman said of bike lanes. “Drivers and riders still have to be aware of what’s going on around them.” Hyde agreed, saying bike lanes can offer a false sense of security to cyclists, who “still have to be extremely safe and vigilant.” But overall, he thinks more bike lanes are a good thing for public safety. “I think they’re helping quite a bit. What it does more than anything is it

makes it more black and white to the motorists as to where the cyclist is going to be,” he said. “With bike lanes, it’s much more enjoyable.”

In addition to following traffic laws, cyclists are advised to follow the flow of traffic and ride single file whenever possible. Use hand signals to indicate making a left or right turn, slowing or stopping. Source: The Colorado Department of Transportation Bicycling Manual, codot.gov.

Some things need to be brought home, but violence is never one of them QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

his isn’t going to be one of the funny ones. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, “On average, 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States.” October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Hitting someone, slapping someone, beating someone up are things I have never done. I didn’t get that gobbet of testosterone at the factory. Once again, I don’t have any answers. I sometimes wonder about my gender, and what is inside that leads to a belief in domination

that exhibits itself in physical abuse. There is more abuse coming from men than there is coming from women. “To the moon, Alice.” It’s never, “To the moon, Ralph.” I know that clobbering someone entertains millions of people — always has, always will. I never followed what Muhammad Ali did in the ring. Outside the ring, I listened. What Ronda Rousey does for a living is of no interest to me. “Punch and Judy” isn’t funny, at least not to me. My sister and I used to wrestle, and maybe it’s natural to tussle when you are kids or puppies or cubs.

O LETTER TO THE EDITOR Let’s vote for progress Littleton voters have the opportunity in the upcoming city council election to demonstrate their faith in the future, by electing new council members who will bring progress to our cherished small town. We want council members who will address issues like the need for a downtown parking structure, resolve the fire dispatch and consolidation issues, and work toward business and housing expansion. Business has grown in Littleton in spite of the city, not because of it. Isn’t it telling that two competent city council members chose not to run again? Has the negative attitude and ineptitude of some of their fellow council members simply worn them down?

I won’t be wasting my vote on Doug Clark and Carol Brzeczek, the naysayers on the ballot. Their sole interest is in preserving the status quo as the “status no.” And both are associated with the “Sunshine” group – a clique of self-styled “watchdogs” whose wish is that Littleton instantly revert back to 1954. Littleton can attract young families and support thriving retail and employment. We can portray our city as foresightful, open to change, and still full of wholesome, historic character. We simply need courageous, excited and positive thinking city council members to accept and follow that challenge. Pete Webb Littleton resident, Licensing Authority member

But later on, it can turn into something else, especially when macho-macho-man gets whatever it is into his head. Smacking a woman is about as low as it gets. There is no better word for a man who strikes a woman than “jerk.” “One in three women and one in four men have been victims of (some form of) physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime” (NCADV). Children — and babies — get into the ring with dad, a boyfriend, or a babysitter too. Sometimes it’s the mother. People line up to see violence-based dramas, SEE SMITH, P13

Trend of lowering the bar is really just a big downer

ne of my favorite things to do each week is attending some community social functions. Just a coffee hour where members of the community will take turns volunteerWINNING ing each week to proWORDS vide the refreshments and snacks for others who come out to join everyone. The turnout is usually very good and the conversations and time together are always worth the hour. This past week I overheard a comment being Michael Norton made, and it was the second time in a couple of months that I heard the same comment so it caught my attention. I heard one person say to the woman providing the baked goods and refreshments that she shouldn’t be doing so good of a job at baking such delicious food, because now everyone will be expected to do the same. Most people either bring in bagels, donuts, and other convenient storebought refreshments. Now don’t get me wrong, I always enjoy those too, maybe a little too much. I just found it a little off-putting to discourage someone from reaching higher and delivering more than expected. Especially since it was on her own dime and time that she did the baking. She was basically asked to lower the bar.

My whole career has been around sales, sales management, leadership and entrepreneurism. Either in a direct sales role, sales management position, leader, trainer, or coach. So, coming off the heels of the social meeting and speaking with some sales folks last week, I was once again caught off guard by a statement I heard one sales person say to another, “Dude, you have to slow down, you are killing it but you are making the rest of us look bad.” This is a management issue and cultural issue that is being addressed, it just spoke volumes to me about the acceptance of mediocrity. He too was asked to lower the bar. We live in a world of incredibly talented and gifted people. Individuals who are blessed with a tireless work ethic and have developed skills that bring benefit and joy to many people. And yet, on the other side, we also live in a world where mediocrity almost seems like an accepted norm. And whenever I observe such behavior or attitudes, especially when there is so much obvious talent and potential, I am reminded of the statement, “Talent without effort breeds mediocrity.” a Are you OK with lowering the bar for c yourself ? r The best way to elevate performance is too set goals for ourselves. Set goals s that are in alignment with what we want fi j to be, who we want to be, and where we want to go in life. Set goals that are s

A birthday reflection: The seven signs of growth

y the time you read this, I will have made another 365-day trip around the sun. Not a milestone birthday in itself, although the previous 12 months have been anything ALCHEMY but ordinary. Consider all that has transpired since October 2016 … feel free to catalogue your own wins and losses as you experienced them. It is probably no surprise to most of you that this year has been a stretch Andrea Doray of wildly fluctuating emotions and events for me. The presidential campaign was a moment-by-moment exercise in disbelief, shock and resolve. A serious car crash in February left me with lingering injuries, and a layoff in March was

the proverbial insult to injury. A cancer scare and my now-infamous encounter with the Heimlich maneuver had me bruised and confused. A good job, a modest run at poker in my first-ever casino venture, and a summer of concerts under the stars provided a welcome balance to the daily onslaught of ever-more-astonishing news. Birthdays do provide the opportunity for annual introspection, and mine this month was fueled by an article outlining “7 signs you are growing.” I have to admit that I struggle with some of them: 1. Your beliefs are still evolving. Well, this one has definitely provided a lot of growth. I didn’t know that I felt quite so strongly about women’s and girl’s rights, about immigrants and refugees, about equality for all people. Recent events have shown me that I do, as I consider the possibilities and consequences of my actions – or inaction.

the skills or talent but will outwork everyone around them. These are the people who continually raise the bar for themselves and who never accept mediocrity. These people inspire me the most. So how about you? Is there a bar that needs to be lifted in your own life? Can you help someone else raise the bar just a little higher so they too can achieve their goals and realize their dreams? I would love to hear all about your own elevated performance stories at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can raise the bar and avoid mediocrity, it really will be a better than good week.

in alignment with our dreams. And then we need to establish mini stretch goals that will help to keep us on track and to continuously raise the bar for ourselves. We need to do this regardless of living in a society or even with some people around us who may like the bar where it is set right now. And as we see, some even prefer to lower the bar. It’s not just in volunteer work or in a selling career, we see it in all walks of life. We see it in students, athletes, artists, and professionals at every level. Some are just brilliant and still work so hard for themselves and for the good of others. We even see those who may lack

a whole gaudy panoply, featuring niftycool Jawa ionization blasters, wrist rockets and flame projectors. World history was packed with destructive human behavior long before films (and arcade games). Films now just do a very vivid job of making it spectacularly realistic. Good vs. evil is one thing. It’s the premise of just about everything.

At least one out of every three women around the world has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime with the abuser usually someone known to her.” It cannot help that some world leaders, like our own, resort to bullying. It cannot help that some world leaders, like our own, threaten violence as a solution to differences. There are many things that I wish I could reverse. That I wish I could improve. This is one.

2. You can see different points of view. We all have our cognitive biases, and my 24/7 consumption of information leads me to prefer certain news outlets and sources. To counter this tendency, however, through the “nourish my political soul” initiative that I’ve previously described in this space, I’ve sought out differing perspectives. Thanks to those of you who have offered them. 3. You are willing to stop unproductive habits. I don’t sleep – much – and, unfortunately, I then take pleasure in playing word games on my phone until the early moments of the coming day. I’m told this can actually contribute to my sleeplessness, so this is clearly a growth area for me. 4. You consciously build productive habits. The flip side of number 3, I suppose. About weekly, I decide to eat better, exercise more, and enrich my mind. It’s turning these decisions into habits that’s the hard part. I’m full of good intentions, and we all know where

that road goes. 5. You grow thicker skin. Whether I wanted to or not, whether I was even aware of it or not, I have embraced number 5. I suppose when you are as passionate – and as vocal – as I am, you receive your fair share of blowback. Part of my growth has been engaging in the constructive back-and-forth of civil discourse, and dismissing the rest. 6. You achieved more than you thought possible. I’ll have to ponder this one. Perhaps my greatest avenue for growth is through a conscious decision to learn more and to do more. 7. Your definition of success changes. What, from the previous year, defines my success today? I’ll let you know as soon as I figure it out. Andrea Doray is a writer who believes that growth happens through life experience, education, and our connections with other people.

GRADUATION FROM PAGE 4

adults in the building. We’re going to help kids make those plans as they come into school and plan for what it looks like after they graduate.” That planning will come in the form of a program called Seminar, said Littleton High School counselor Mike Puchino. In regular meetings, students will convene with teachers, counselors and administrators to review their academic progress, discuss future classes, and explore postsecondary options. “We’ll have career planning surveys and interest surveys, and keep track of their coursework,” Puchino said. Career guidance is broadening out from the old days, Puchino said, when the conventional wisdom was that four-year college degrees were the gold standard of postsecondary options. The school will hold its first-ever career trade and tech fair this spring. “Trade and tech business groups have been coming to us and saying we need contractors, plumbers and HVAC people,” Puchino said. “We still send a lot of kids off to college, but tradespeople can do very well for themselves too.” The district will help kids explore a range of options, including culinary school, health sciences, auto repair and STEM, Abla said.

Military recruiters are a larger presence now too, Puchino said. The goal isn’t to force kids to decide their life path too early, Abla said. “It’s a good age to be thinking about those questions,” Abla said. “It’s a good age to plan. It’s not about pressure and forcing them to make their life choice in high school. There are kids who do, though. Some knew they wanted to be a teacher or a certain profession since fifth grade. We’re hoping to help and guide them, not force them into a track.” The English and math competencies are another component. The district’s requirements offer a “menu” of competency options, ranging from certain scores on the SAT or ACT tests, high marks in AP classes, minimum grades in certain courses and a host of other options. “Most kids will meet these just in the course of their normal coursework,” Puchino said. “What we don’t know yet is what will happen with juniors and seniors who haven’t hit the requirements. Are we going to have remedial classes for them? Will they have special tests? That’s still a work in progress. We should know more about that in the next couple years.” The effectiveness of the new requirements won’t be known for years, Puchino said. “We’ll have to see how the state responds to this first class of graduates,” Puchino said. “Will this help or hurt graduation rates? Will it give them the opportunities they want? These kids are the guinea pigs for the state.”

Littleton High School guidance counselor Mike Puchino chats with freshman Ashton Haddock about her high school course options. DAVID GILBERT

Colorado cideries embrace old and new St. Vrain Cidery in Longmont was started by three friends, and offers 24 different hard ciders on its taps.

Drink offers a new world of taste variations BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

olorado is home to nearly 230 breweries, which means practically every kind of beer a person could crave can be found with a little legwork. But let’s face it — beer isn’t for everyone. For those with a more diverse palate or just looking to step away from beer for a while, cider might just be the right fit. “I fell in love with the light and effervescent flavor profile of hard cider,” remembers Ian Capps, head cider maker at Denver’s Stem Ciders. “I think it can be much more nuanced than typical beer profiles, and I was excited about getting into something new that wasn’t beer.” Stem is just one of a handful of cidermakers that have popped up in

COURTESY OF ST. VRAIN

“We have such a strong craft brew scene in Colorado, that cider was the logical next step,” said Brad Page, who founded the Colorado Cider Company with his wife. “When you add in the interest in farm-to-table and local foods, it makes sense that so many people would get into this drink.” When many people hear the term cider, they think along the lines of apple juice. But hard cider, unlike beer, which is made from hops, barley and other ingredients, is more akin to wine. As Dan Daugherty, cidermaker at St. Vrain Cidery explains it, cider ferments completely dry to zero residual sugar, meaning that to sweeten it, makers have to either arrest the fermentation before completion or sweeten afterwards. The next step is to stabilize the cider to prevent the yeast from waking back up and consuming the remaining sugars. “Cider is similar to beer in terms of ABV (alcohol by volume) — commonly around 7 percent — and in consumpSEE CIDERIES, P17

tion and packaging formats,” he added. One of the biggest misconceptions most cidermakers deal with is a fear that the drink will be too sweet — like boozy apple juice. “A lot of people who haven’t tasted cider are expecting a super sweet drink, so when I hand them one of our drier ciders, they say, ‘I didn’t know it could taste like this,’ “ said Shawn Larson, head cidermaker at Big B’s. “We’re all cowboys here in America. We add flavors like apricots, cherries or hops into some ciders to see how they change the taste, which is something traditional European cideries wouldn’t.” There’s a sense of camaraderie in the cider industry, and that has been furthered by the creation of the Rocky Mountain Cider Association. The group helps facilitate events like Colorado Cider Week in May, the Colorado Cider and Beer Circus in August at Copper Mountain, and this weekend’s Lakewood’s Cider Days, where various cideries can show off their skills and latest creations. “We have felt incredible support not only from other cideries, locally as well as nationally, but also from the craft beverage industry here in

At 1 p.m., David Julie of the Colorado Native Plant Society will speak on Flowers and Pollinators. Plants offer food in flowers to bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators in exchange for help in producing seeds. The backyard birding workshop begins at 3 p.m. and is presented by Kate Hogan, community outreach coordinator for the Audubon Society of Great Denver. Participants will learn about the local bird population with help from friends from the Audubon Society.

For the makers, it’s the infinite possibility of the fruit that keeps the scene exciting. “My favorite thing about cider is the vast array of unique flavors and aromas that can come from fermenting fresh pressed apple juice,” Capps said. “Whether it’s aged in a barrel, co-fermented with other fruits, or wild fermented with natural yeasts from the orchard, the resulting flavor profiles are limitless.”

Littleton sculptor’s bronzes on display at museum Kim Kaminski has eye on projects that may include painting BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As one enters the gallery at the Littleton Museum to visit the new exhibit, “Procession of Spirit,” one is welcomed by a distinguished delegation of spiritually oriented dignitaries, bronze figures posed in a semi-circle. Each one has a message for us … Spend some time getting acquainted. Walk beyond that group and Kim Kaminski’s figurative sculptures fill the rest of the floor space and some walls with more figurative works. Thirty-six sculptures in bronze and steel convey this Littleton artist’s fascination with “traditions, rituals and symbolism.” A Christian, she speaks of contact with friends of many faiths and exposure to other ways of interpretation through conversation, travel and study. The arrangement of sculpture is enhanced by a series of bright strips of fabric at the rear of the gallery that seems to pull the space together in a somewhat festive mode, related to the ceremonial imagery of the art. Kim Maloney Kaminski was the 2016 Winner of “Best of Show” in Littleton’s “Annual Own an Original” exhibit and therefore, she was awarded the opportunity by the Littleton Fine Arts Board to mount a solo show of her work at the museum in the following year. This would be great news for any artist — but also the beginning of an intense year of hard work to prepare for such an exhibit. Kaminski sculpts in a spacious studio in the family’s back yard (it was brought up to code and she was licensed, after much communication with the city’s building department, she said). She has her bronze figures cast in Loveland, but does all her own prep work and finishing. She welds the steel pieces in the studio. “I love working with patinas,” she says (on the bronzes). I can still paint with an illustrator’s eye.”

Sculptor Kim Kaminski’s Littleton Studio is the source for her works exhibited in “Procession of Spirit” at the Littleton Museum. PHOTOS COURTESY OF KIM KAMINSKI

She grew up “in Chicagoland” starting art lessons at 8 years old — “acting, singing, painting” and was soon “researching and figuring things out.” She studied art at Creighton University (BFA, MFA) and then attended the very traditional Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in Philadelphia for a second master’s degree. She’s gearing up again now for future projects — which may eventually include a return to painting, although that will require a different sort of space, since sculpting stirs up dust and dirt. And she plans to apply eventually for the prestigious Koehler fellowship/residency which provides for a foundry, materials and support for sculptors to refine technique and craftsmanship in metals or clay. That would allow her to take some pieces to a large scale, perhaps — a strong wish. To do that, she’ll have to be certain everyone in the family “is ready.” Her husband, an FBI agent, travels a good

Woodcarvers move yearly show to Highlands Ranch Visitors can shop, stroll, watch artisans create new works

IF YOU GO

I THE 43RD ANNUAL WOODCARVING SHOW, COMPETITION AND SALE will be held by the Colorado Carvers Club on Oct. 14 (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Oct. 15 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) at the Hilton Garden Inn, 1050 Plaza Drive, Highlands Ranch. Admission is $5 and children are admitted free. Carved objects, tools, wood and related items will be for sale — mostly by cash or check, although some M vendors accept credit cards.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For a number of years, the metrowide Colorado Woodcarvers Club has held its annual show/competition/sale at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, but on Oct. 14-15, 2017, the organization will move into the south area (Hilton Garden Inn in Highlands Ranch, 1050 Plaza Drive), bringing a collection of skilled craftsmen and their projects. Visitors will see a world of carved creatures and other items that grow out of the imaginations of the club’s many members in the 43rd Annual Woodcarvers Show. Most items will be for sale and would be a one-of-a-kind gift — or a new addition for the readers’ own collection. Members will be working on a new project as they sit at the show’s tables, ready to chat with visitors. We first met veteran carver Ralph Mueller of Littleton prior to a show some years ago and are happy to know the Lockheed Martin retiree, now 87, is still happily creating with wood, a knife and other tools. He started in a class at Englewood’s Malley Recreation Center when he retired and enjoys carving all

PHOTO BY SHARLEE MUELLER kinds of birds and animals. The playful river otter is a personal favorite. In addition to small pieces, he has carved on a dead tree in his back yard, he said. Mueller enjoyed a 34-year career as an instrumentation engineer at Lockheed Martin. (known as Martin

Marietta when he came on board after a stretch in the service and college). This carver was born in Nebraska — one of eight boys and one girl, who all helped on the farm. He attended college in Indiana. His favorite wood to carve is Ne-

braska red cedar (his brother brought him a load). It’s appealing in grain and color, with reddish tones. He usually carves on basswood, but also enjoys working with and finishing pieces in walnut and cherry. He’s happy with a recent carving of a Rocky F Mountain bighorn sheep created from that special cedar, and plans to enter about six pieces in the show. There will be a carving competition on both days at 2 p.m. and visitors can see a block of wood come to life under skilled hands — and ask questions. A featured carver will be presented from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. each day. Perhaps someone else will find an enjoyable new pastime. The club holds monthly meetings at the Maplewood Grove Grange, 3130 Youngfield St. in Westminster. Next date on the website is Nov. 4. See coloradocarvers.org.

ike it or not, what goes on in the National Football League usually filters down to the high school level. Many NFL players have been kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and social injustice. OVERTIME The protests became magnified in response to comments from President Trump. Much of the social media response to NFL players kneeling has been negative ever since former NFL quarterback Colin KaeperJim Benton nick sat and then took a knee during the anthem in 2016 to protest racial discrimination. So far this fall, the majority of high school athletes in Colorado have stood while the anthem is played. The Colorado High School Activities Association doesn’t have any rules stating that athletes must stand or can’t kneel during the anthem, but a CHSAA official said several players did kneel last year. So it is up to schools and teams to establish standards. “I’ve only had one school even ask about it,” said Jim Thyfault, Jefferson County School District athletic director. “There is a state statute that we honor the individual and whatever their voices are. We adhere to those state statutes.” Derek Chaney, athletic director for the Douglas County School District, says there have not been anthem protests from teams within the district. “I’m hoping it doesn’t filter down to the high school level,” he said. “We, as a district, haven’t sent anything out or taken a stand. If the protests start, we’ll have to address it.” At Legacy High School, the subject of protests has not been brought up, said football coach Wayne Voorhees. “I have not even discussed it with our kids and we played last night (Sept. 28) and had no one interested in kneeling or anything else,” he said, adding “I would prefer everyone to stand.” The protest movement, however, has started to trickle down to some high schools across the nation, according to news reports. Nine girls on the Traip Academy soccer team in Kittery, Maine, were inspired by the NFL demonstrations and knelt during the anthem. They were then subjected to social media insults after a newspaper photo was published. A principal at Parkway High School in Bossier City, Louisiana, has threated loss of playing time and removal from the team for athletes choosing not to stand for the anthem.

A GAME OF RALLIES

On campus: Arapahoe

Kate Maney tries to beat the throw to third base after her double drove in two runs for Arapahoe during the Sept. 28 league softball game against Smoky Hill. Arapahoe rallied to take the lead at 6-4 in the top of the final inning but Smoky Hill staged its own rally in the home half of the inning to win the game, 7-6. “This was a tough loss for us. It is disappointing because they played hard and battled hard,” Warriors coach Jeannie Krueger said after the game. TOM MUNDS

BENTON FROM PAGE 24

Long Island, New York, has warned athletes at its three high schools that protests during the “Star-Spangled Banner” would not be tolerated and protesters could face serious discipline. Douglas County football coach Gene Hill said the issue can be used as a “teachable moment.” “As a football program we are not against our athletes protesting,” he said. “We do believe there is a time and place for protest but it is not during the national anthem. The expectation is that our athletes will stand for the national anthem. “We also have discussed what is going on with our players to help them through this challenging time. It is easy to see professional athletes protesting and then wanting to copy them without understanding why they are protesting. This is a great time to use this as a teachable moment and to understand what is going on in our society and why professional athletes are protesting.”

5A football changes needed Mike Krueger, chairman of the CHSAA football committee, is welcoming feedback when it comes to 5A football. Krueger, the district athletic director for Aurora Public Schools, sent out requests asking for input as the current two-year cycle of scheduling ends and the CHSAA committee is seeking responses to help with recommendations for the 2018-20 cycle. I have yet to talk with anybody who is an enthusiastic supporter of the current “waterfall” 5A alignments, which have taken away some neighborhood rivalry games and replaced them with contests pitting schools often located several cities apart. Coaches and administrators won’t ﬂood the internet or line up with protests, but I expect they will let their feelings be known. Changes need to be made to make league games more attractive — and that could boost the sagging attendance that was evident last season. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

A BIG WIN

CALM AFTER THE STORM

Ikaika Gonzalez-Bentosino runs the ball for Englewood during the Sept. 29 football game against rival Sheridan. The talented Pirate junior rushed for 266 yards and gained 177 yards returning kicks as Englewood score first and often and won the game 58-0. “This is a big win for us because we needed to bounce back after losing two games in a row.

secondary roads they followed along each leg of their journey. Organizers said the route was laid out along bike paths and secondary roads to provide a safe ride for the cyclists. Andersen and her teammates were accompanied by a support team of 11 people in four vehicles on their journey with a lot of experience in rider support. Friends and family members, as well as Dinger, the Colorado Rockies mascot, were on hand Sept. 15 to cheer on Andersen and her teammates as they started their three-day journey. Andersen’s sons, 12-year-old Noah and 10-year-old Scott, and her 9-yearold daughter Quinn came to see her off. Quinn said she was glad her mother volunteered for the project. “It is a good thing for my mother because she will get a lot of exercise,” the girl said. “Riding to raise money to help others is a good thing too.” Andersen graduated from Cherry Creek High School in 1997 and earned her bachelor’s degree in finance at the University of Colorado-Boulder. She said she worked for a number of firms, and about two years ago she joined the sales officer of Bristol-Meyers Squibb in Denver and travels the state in her work. “This is a chance for those of us who are part of the oncology division of Bristol-Myers Squibb to something beyond and above or day-to-day jobs,” she said. “I am excited to be riding for all cancer patients and to raise funds for the amazing organization working to develop treatments and hopefully a cure for cancer.” She when she learned about the Coast 2 Coast 4 Cancer project, she was inspired to sign up for the ride be-

cause cancer has invaded the lives of so many of her loved ones and friends. Organizers selected riders from those who signed up and Andersen said she was surprised and pleased when she was notified she would be a relay team member. “This effort is providing support for the amazing Stand Up to Cancer organization that is working to enhance cancer research,” she said. “Like so many people my life has been touched by love ones who have cancer and I have become passionate about doing all I can to support this program seeking a cure for the disease.” Andersen, 42, said preparing to ride a bike 75 miles a day was a challenge. “I was very much a novice bike rider, and while I lead an active lifestyle, including skiing, preparing for covering 75 miles a day on a bike was not easy,” she said. “I had never been on a road bike until we started training in April. Clipping and unclipping my cleats from the pedals resulted in a number of tumbles to the ground in the back yard.” She said one of her teammates lives in the Denver area so they did a number of training rides together. “He is a much more experienced cyclist than I am and he took me on the mountain trails that tested my physical fitness and stamina,” she said. “I am glad we are on the Colorado leg of the ride because our route is downhill and pretty flat.” Andersen said she isn’t sure how much she will ride her bike when the ride is completed. “The jury is still out on whether or not I would do the ride again,” she said. “Also, while cycling is a fun activity and great exercise, I am not sure I will want to leave my children for five hours or more on a Saturday. I may still enjoy riding a bike but it will most likely be riding trails for just an hour or two.”

BUSINESS

on road repairs rather than refunding the money to taxpayers, and the other, Ballot Issue 2D, asks voters to ratchet up the city’s revenue cap so they can collect more in the future before a refund is triggered. “Good streets will help us have good access for businesses,” Werges said. “That’s important. Also, we are under the impression that the city is looking at financial troubles coming up, and these are measures that will help the city alleviate those troubles. We want to help the city, and one of the primary tools in our toolbox is marketing.” Werges, the board’s president, said the chamber also wants to help the city revise what it calls an outdated comprehensive plan in order to re-

FROM PAGE 5

The group’s website, littletonbusinesschamber.org, says the chamber’s mission is to “serve as the principal representative of businesses in our market area, contribute to the success and prosperity of our members, and promote economic and civic interests of the community.” Among the group’s first projects will be to throw their weight behind the city’s two TABOR-related ballot questions this fall, Werges said. One of the questions, Ballot Issue 2C, will ask voters to allow the city to keep a revenue surplus to spend

flect the current pace and nature of development. “Change is coming to our city like a freight train, and if we don’t have people in place to make sure we’re doing smart development, and keep the city vibrant and moving forward, it’ll run over us,” Werges said. Dunahay said the chamber would also like to explore instituting a lodging tax — the city currently has none. He said they would also like to raise funds for the Littleton Police Department’s K-9 unit. “We’re a young organization,” Dunahay said. “These ideas will get more fleshed out down the line.” The chamber could be a useful partner, said City Manager Mark Relph.

“I can see them being an asset in all sorts of issues,” Relph said. “It’s a unified voice so we have a clear line of communication between the city and the business community. We haven’t had that, and it’s been a void. We probably won’t agree all the time, but we like to hear the perspectives shared by businesses.” Relph said he hopes to work with the chamber to address the city’s financial concerns. “We’ve got real challenges in our capital fund,” Relph said. “We’re trying to make sure we’re doing everything we can to control expenditures. We’ll explore with council how to come up with a dedicated revenue source. We hope the chamber can be a resource there.”

The Petition is consolidated with the Petition for the Allocation of Parental Responsibilities, filed by Petitioner and Co-Petitioner, on June 8, 2017.

A registered determination is enforceable as of the date of registration in the same manner as a determination issued by a court of this state.

To the Respondent named above, this Summons serves as a notice to appear in this case regarding the allocation of parental responsibilities. You are further notified that said Petition is set for a hearing on November 30, 2017 at 9 a.m. in Division 24 of the Arapahoe County District Court, 7325 S.
