RTD maps future amid declining ridership Transit agency announces launch of effort to collect input from public

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Regional Transportation District has launched an outreach program to put a long-term plan in place for changes in transportation demands in the Denver area.

Reimagine RTD is a project aimed toward creating a vision for the transportation district as ridership is in decline. Ridership has declined from 103.4 million annual boardings in 2015 to 97.6 million annual boardings in 2018, despite RTD’s total operating budget increasing by more than 44% in that time frame, according to statistics found on RTD’s website, rtddenver.com.

“The landscape is changing, and we need to change along with it,” said RTD CEO Dave Genova. “We know we have a big role to play in that, and how we integrate with other options.”

RTD will collect feedback from the public and consider expert consultation to determine a plan.

Christina Zazueta, community engagement manager for RTD, said this will provide input to help RTD better optimize its current systems. Zazueta

Dave Genova, RTD general manager and CEO, addresses the media at a press conference last year.

FILE PHOTO said RTD wants to hear equally from longtime bus and rail riders as well as those who don’t use public transit as much.

“We realize how important it is to hear from riders as well as nonriders,” Zazueta said. “We consider them both part of our community and it’s everyone’s system … Even if it’s a non-rider, we want to know their experience that would make them consider using the RTD system.”

RTD hosted the inaugural telephone town hall Oct. 2 to introduce the proj-

You. Your Dog. Shopping. Beer. #BestDayEver

ect. Each of RTD’s 15 internal districts will have its own telephone town hall to solicit feedback. Callers will be able to ask questions over the phone and answer questions about how to improve things like service demands, alternative transit options and RTD’s driver and rail operator shortage.

RTD is no stranger to complaints from rail and bus commuters regarding inconsistent arrival times and overall lack of service. RTD has said it does not have enough rail operators or bus drivers to handle RTD’s service

demand.

RTD serves an area that spans eight counties with a total population of 3.1 million. RTD owns 1,026 buses and has 58.5 miles of light rail track and 40 miles of commuter rail track.

RTD is celebrating 50 years in operation. Light rail was introduced to Denver in October, 1994. RTD operates eight light rail lines and three commuter rail lines.

The Denver Regional Council of Governments is also in the midst of drafting its 2050 plan, which will take into consideration input received through RTD’s Reimagine program.

Jacob Riger, manager of long-term transportation at DRCOG, said the Denver area’s ensuing growth means addressing safety needs, first and foremost, while needing to consider changing technology and finding creative ways to build partnerships to help fund transportation projects.

Riger said DRCOG and RTD have not announced specific long-term project partnerships yet, but said DRCOG will be fully participatory in the work RTD is doing.

Riger said the DRCOG 2050 transportation plan is expected to be finished in 2021.

“I could see a future where transportation solutions are customized to community needs,” Riger said. “I think we need to think differently about our transportation needs as this area evolves.”

City looks to recoup costs from fire at condemned home March blaze still under investigation; owner’s whereabouts unknown

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than six months after a condemned south Littleton home burst into flames — on the day before a March hearing was to decide its fate — city officials are hoping to recoup taxpayer dollars spent abating the property.

The trouble is, former occupant David Lynch still owns the property, and is under no obligation to sell.

Further complicating matters: Nobody knows where he is.

City council placed a lien on the property at 7874 S. Windermere Circle at their Oct. 1 meeting, meaning that if the property is sold, the city is owed more than $31,000 from the proceeds to pay back costs incurred to tear down what remained of the house after a fire broke out early on March 19.

However, Lynch still owns the lot, and the city has no plans to try to foreclose on the property, said City Attorney Reid Betzing. There’s also no indication that the property will be handed over to a bank.

“The City does not have information on what Mr. Lynch’s current relationship status is with his mortgage company as that is a private contract matter,” Betzing said in an email.

More than six months after the fire, the cause is still the subject of a joint investigation by Littleton Police and South Metro Fire Rescue, said Littleton Police Division Chief Andy Smith.

“I don’t feel this is an unusual amount of time for an investigation given the circumstances we’re dealing with,” Smith said. “There’s

a valid reason it’s taking so long, I’ll tell you that.”

Investigators interviewed Lynch once in the days following the fire, Smith said, but didn’t have probable cause to arrest him at the time. Since then he’s been in the wind.

“We’d be interested in his location if that’s known to anyone,” Smith said.

South Metro spokesman Eric Hurst said most fire investigations are closed after just a few days, and this one remains open “due to possible criminal circumstances.”

Lynch has not received any insurance payout from the fire, Smith said.

The home’s demolition has been a breath of fresh air for next-door neighbor Wendy Landin, who filed a restraining order against Lynch in 2006 after a number of hostile runins.

“This is the first time in many years I’ve felt safe in my own home,” said Landin, a schoolteacher. “It’s the first summer I’ve felt safe sitting in my yard.”

Lynch bought the home in 2000, according to county records, and his troubles with the city date to 2012, when he was arrested on animal cruelty charges.

Responding officers found the home in squalor, said city code enforcement supervisor Rebecca Thompson at a Board of Appeals meeting earlier this year. Lynch pleaded guilty to the animal cruelty charges and did six months in jail.

City inspectors ordered Lynch to make repairs to the home, Thompson said, but as the years went by, the house continued to deteriorate.

The city declared the home uninhabitable in May 2018, and in Nov. 2018 ordered the home demolished.

Speaking at a city hearing on the order, Lynch told officials he was overwhelmed by the costs and complexities of fixing up the house.

Asked why he didn’t sell the house,

An excavator tears into a home on South Windermere Circle on May 31. The home, owned by David Lynch, caught fire in March the day before a hearing to determine whether it should be torn down after years of violations. More than six months later, the fire is still under investigation, and there’s no sign that Lynch plans to sell the property.

FILE PHOTO Lynch said a friend had once offered to line up an investor to buy it.

“He said, ‘If we get someone to offer you $200,000 for this, will you take it?’” Lynch testified at the Jan. 16 hearing. “And I said, ‘Go to hell.’ The government has taken everything I’ve got. This is the last thing. This is do or die, literally, because I got nothing else.”

After missing several subsequent hearings, Lynch requested one final hearing before the city’s Board of Appeals, scheduled for March 20. On the morning of March 19, the home caught fire. The city still held the hearing the next day, though Lynch didn’t show.

With the condemned home gone, there’s nothing stopping Lynch from visiting the property, said Betzing, the city attorney, though he would not be allowed to camp on the property in a temporary structure.

There’s also nothing stopping him from building a new home on the property, Betzing said, “assuming he met all applicable zoning and building codes and paid his permit fees.”

Landin, the neighbor, said she can’t believe the situation isn’t yet resolved.

“Until they arrest him or that property isn’t his, I won’t be able to relax,” Landin said. “This is a neverending nightmare.”

SeaQuest hopes to turn page after ‘mistakes’

SeaQuest Littleton general manager David Slater surveys a “touch tank” at the interactive aquarium in Southwest Plaza mall in Jefferson County on Oct. 4. Slater, who took over the controversial aquarium a year ago, said he hopes to rebuild SeaQuest’s reputation after numerous animal welfare violations.

DAVID GILBERT

Employee of aquarium found not guilty of animal cruelty

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

• Register online for an information session (Oct. 23, 6:30-7:30 pm & Oct. 24 from 7:30-8:30 am) • Register online for a campus tour • Apply in early November for the 2020-2021 school year

Ashleigh Belfiore burst into tears of relief as the judge read the jury’s verdict: not guilty of misdemeanor animal cruelty.

Belfiore, 28, stood accused of abusing and neglecting a sloth under her care at SeaQuest, an “interactive aquarium” at Southwest Plaza shopping mall in south Jefferson County. A jury of six acquitted her on Oct 1.

The sloth, named Flash, suffered two burns on a heat lamp in its enclosure about a month apart in late 2018, according to testimony from investigators from Jefferson County Animal Control and the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife.

In a two-day trial, prosecutors alleged that Belfiore — who still works as a manager for SeaQuest — had misled investigators about when the burns occurred and about whether a veterinarian had been notified.

Dr. Jena Questen, who runs Aspen Park Veterinary Hospital in Conifer and is SeaQuest’s contracted veterinarian, testified in the trial that she wasn’t alarmed that she wasn’t contacted after Flash was burned. Belfiore’s response to the sloth’s injuries — treating Flash’s burns with honey, coconut oil and antibiotic cream — was appropriate, she said.

Questen said she trusts SeaQuest staff to make good decisions.

“I’m staking my reputation as a veterinarian on this,” Questen testified.

“I would not be affiliated with this organization in any way if I felt they were jeopardizing the health or safety of animals.”

Mistakes were made David Slater, SeaQuest Littleton’s

general manager, said he hopes Belfiore’s acquittal is a turning point for the combination aquarium and zoo.

“We made mistakes,” Slater said.

“I’m trying to own up to them. We’ve put in processes and procedures to prevent those things from happening again. I’d like to move on.”

SeaQuest, part of a nationwide chain, offers visitors an interactive experience with animals. Guests can feed iguanas and tropical birds, and even go snorkeling with stingrays.

The facility is home to 250 species, Slater said — many donated by locals who could no longer care for them — spread across 45 exhibits.

But almost as soon as the facility opened in spring 2018, it drew controversy and condemnation.

The company failed to obtain necessary permits to keep and show exotic animals, according to the Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife, or CPW. Investigators found cages illegally overcrowded with birds. Staff failed to report animal deaths and visitor injuries. One manager was found to be keeping a two-toed sloth and two capybaras in her house.

The Colorado Department of Agriculture issued a cease-and-desist order to the facility in summer 2018, demanding the number of birds be reduced. A local news station later found a teenage employee selling some of the birds from the back of a van in a parking lot.

SeaQuest fired the facility’s general manager and assistant manager in August 2018, Slater said, and brought him and Belfiore on board.

Permit revoked Two days after he started, according to a CPW investigation, the facility’s general manager Slater turned over incident reports for numerous earlier injuries that had not previously been reported to state officials as required.

Littleton school board candidates tackle issues Budgets, school safety, anonymous coalition debated

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Achievement gaps, budget woes and a disturbingly high suicide rate.

The four candidates vying for two seats on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education — Crysti Copp, Lindley McCrary, Jessica Roe and incumbent Robert Reichardt — discussed these and other challenges the district will face in coming years at a candidate forum on Sept. 30.

Reichardt, who is running for a second four-year term, told the audience at Littleton High School that the board’s foremost challenge is to “not screw things up.”

Reichardt also said he hopes to continue bridging achievement gaps for children with disabilities, who he said still lag other students in test scores and other benchmarks.

McCrary, who serves on several LPS boards, said as the parent of a child on a 504 plan — a set of accom-

modations for students with disabilities — she is familiar with advocating for students with different needs. McCrary also said Colorado’s education funding model is among the most pressing issues facing the district.

“I’d like to partner with our neighbor districts to advocate for changes to how funding is calculated” at the state level, McCrary said.

Copp, who also serves on several LPS boards, said the district could stand to improve communication with the community on what she called the state’s inadequate support of public education — a sentiment echoed by the other candidates.

Jessica Roe — who made headlines last spring as the public face of an anonymous coalition said to include parents, teachers and students alleging a toxic atmosphere at Arapahoe High School — said the district should ensure programming is effective for kids who aren’t the right fit for a traditional college education.

School safety and approaches to addressing mental health were also high on candidates’ lists of priorities.

Low Interest Rates = More Money for Retirement

by Kathy Muni When the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates, it provides an exciting opportunity for those looking to buy real estate.

But what about seniors who are happy in their homes? Can lower rates help them? Refinancing or getting a home loan as a senior can be difficult, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

The good news is that seniors CAN take advantage of lower rates right now, with a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), also known as a Reverse Mortgage.

For homeowners age 62 and older, a reverse mortgage could be the perfect solution to address unexpected or increased expenses. Between historically high home values in the Denver area and a recent lowering of interest rates, it is a wonderful time to

Making a case for a different way to vote Approval Voting Party, gaining traction, seeks better elections

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Frank Atwood wants to change the way America votes.

Atwood, 70, is the chairman of the Approval Voting Party. The group passed the threshold of 1,000 members in the state at the beginning of October, which qualifies it as a minor party in Colorado — in the same league as the Libertarian, Green and American Constitution parties.

The status means the party will now automatically appear on presidential ballots in Colorado, so long as they properly nominate a candidate.

The party takes no stance on education, defense, health care or guns, Atwood said. Their sole issue: building support for approval voting, a method where a voter is not limited to selecting a single candidate in a race, but can select as many candidates as they approve of.

“Approval voting is like a show of hands among friends,” said Atwood, a retired engineer from Littleton.

“When friends are deciding where to go out to eat, if they’re deciding between four restaurants, you might hold your hand up for both Chinese and Italian. Nobody’s saying you can only vote once.”

The result, Atwood said, is a political equalization that diminishes the power of the two-party system, and gives more viability and visibility to minor parties.

“Right now, Libertarians, Greens and others are crucified on the ‘wasted vote’ cross,” Atwood said.

“If you’ve got one precious vote, you don’t want to waste it on a candidate who’s going to lose. Lots of people feel they have to vote for the lesser of two evils.”

The flip side, Atwood said, is the method reduces the ability of “spoiler” candidates to tilt an election — think Ross Perot in 1992 or Ralph Nader in 2000.

Running man Atwood is no stranger to politics.

Calling himself a “former milquetoast Republican,” Atwood ran for Congress as a Libertarian in Colorado’s 1st District in 2012, drawing more than 12,000 votes. The experience disillusioned him on minor parties, which he said are effectively shut out of most partisan races.

Atwood is all-in on approval voting, he said. His minivan doubles as a rolling billboard, sporting big decals extolling the party.

He ran for president in 2016 as the party’s first presidential candidate, paying a $1,000 fee and lining up nine electors in order to appear on the state ballot. Atwood earned 337 votes statewide, mostly in Arapahoe and Denver counties.

The party held its first state convention in June, at a Whole Foods

Frank Atwood, the chairman of the Approval Voting Party, stands beside his minivan, a sort of rolling billboard. The party achieved minor party status in Colorado in October, meaning it will automatically appear on presidential ballots in years to come. The party seeks to institute what it calls a more equitable voting method.

DAVID GILBERT in Denver. Atwood said the party’s message is resonating with people in a time of hyperpartisanship.

“Voting for only one candidate feeds polarization and factionalism,” Atwood said. “People are desperate for a positive message.”

Everyone’s a critic Not everyone is sold on Atwood’s message.

Atwood sits on Littleton’s elections commission, a city council-appointed board that provides citizen oversight on city elections. Over the summer, the commission — at Atwood’s urging — voted 4-1 to send a resolution to city council, asking council to urge the state Legislature to allow approval voting in nonpartisan municipal elections.

City council rejected the resolution by a vote of 4-3 in September.

“If we’re going to send things to the Legislature with our recommendation, I’d rather save that for bigger issues, like transportation,” said Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman.

“This just didn’t rise to that level.”

Brinkman said she isn’t sure the issue has broad appeal.

“This isn’t coming from the community,” Brinkman said. “It’s coming from four people on the election commission. I don’t think they have enough to do.”

Election science Approval voting isn’t unheard of in elections, said Rob Preuhs, the chair of the political science depart-

ment at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

The method is used for internal voting within numerous political parties, Preuhs said, and forms of the method have been used in local elections around the world for centuries. Fargo, North Dakota recently became the first city in the nation to enact approval voting in local elections, Preuhs said, but they haven’t yet conducted a citywide election with the method.

Approval voting has some built-in problems, Preuhs said. In a race with multiple winners, such as a multiseat city council, approval voting opens the door to strategic voting that could allow special-interest groups to elect a slate that might not win otherwise.

“For most citizens, local elections in particular are lacking in information,” Preuhs said. “People often vote by looking at the yard signs on their neighbor’s lawn. Coalitions can emerge, and approval voting can give voting blocks even more power than they have now.”

Atwood admits the system has flaws, and said approval voting is likely a poor choice for multiseat elections. If city council had approved his resolution and the Legislature had enacted it, Atwood said he would have recommended that multi-seat races continue to be conducted with the traditional single-vote method.

Special interests Atwood himself has at times been

associated with a sort of specialinterest group.

He calls himself “perhaps one of the founding members” of Sunshine, a community watchdog group that in years past has played a role in contentious political battles in Littleton.

Sunshine has no official membership roster, Atwood said, and its attendees span the political spectrum.

The group doesn’t speak with one voice, he said. Critics have accused the group of fearmongering on local issues, a charge Atwood rejects.

Atwood has no interest in trying to elect a Sunshine slate to city council, he said.

“I promise no one victory,” Atwood said. “Slates emerge on their own, and they get elected under our current system.”

For Atwood and the Approval Voting Party, the next step is an appearance at Denver’s Alternative Voting Methods Symposium on Dec. 7, where advocates will tout the virtues of a variety of arcane and complex vote tallying methods.

From there, the Approval Voting Party must hold an assembly before mid-April in order to appear on the 2020 ballot, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.

Atwood hasn’t yet decided if he’ll vie to run as the party’s presidential nominee again.

“My wife has a rule,” Atwood said.

“I can run for any political office I want, so long as I have no chance of winning.”

Denver Water presents lead pipe removal plan to EPA STAFF REPORT

A 30-day public comment period has started after Denver Water submitted a proposal to remove all the lead pipes from its system to the Environmental Protection Agency.

The utility organization will be taking comments and sending them to the EPA as well as the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment until Oct. 10, according to a news release. People can submit comments here: https://www.denverwater.org/your-water/water-quality/lead/lead-reduction-program/comment.

Denver Water announced the plan in July. Jim Lochhead, the CEO and manager of the company, said that removing lead pipes was the most efficient way of ensuring that water will stay free of lead. If the plan is not approved, Denver Water will move forward with a plan from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, which asks that the utility provider add orthophosphate to water. The additive coats pipes, which helps prevent lead from leaking into the water.

Oftentimes customers do not realize their homes have lead pipes, Lochhead said. Denver Water offers free water quality testing to its customers. The company serves around 1.4 million people in metro Denver.

Because Denver Water is unsure how many lead pipes are in its system, Lochhead estimated the removal plan would cost between $300 million and $500 million.

SEAQUEST FROM PAGE 4

“My hope was to do the right thing and clear everything up,” Slater said.

Instead, after Flash received burns from the heat lamp in October and November, CPW charged Belfiore with animal cruelty. At a hearing in early 2019, CPW revoked SeaQuest’s permit to show exotic animals, citing numerous violations.

SeaQuest was forced to remove numerous species, including snakes, otters, capybaras, and Flash the sloth.

Flash now lives at SeaQuest’s Minnesota location, where visitors can pay $24.95 each to spend a few minutes petting and feeding him in his enclosure, according to the facility’s website.

SeaQuest Littleton replaced the removed species with non-exotic animals that didn’t fall under CPW’s jurisdiction, Slater said, including pigs, ducks and Savannah cats.

Since then, SeaQuest has drawn a handful of complaints to Jefferson County Animal Control, according to county records. Two visitors were bitten by a pig, in April and July. The offending pig has since been sent to a farm near Kiowa, Slater said.

Lines stretch from the entrance to SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium in Southwest Plaza, when it first opened.

DAVID GILBERT In early August, investigators said a rubber band around a lobster’s claw was too tight, but wrote that the issue was resolved. A report that a macaw parrot was plucking its feathers out was listed as “unfounded.”

Department of Agriculture investigators have not turned up any further violations since the cease-and-desist order in summer 2018, said Nick Fisher, who enforces the department’s Pet Animal Care Facilities Act. Slater changed the facility’s policy after Flash’s injuries, he said, and all animal injuries are now required to be reported to a veterinarian, regardless of severity.

‘We’re clean’ Meanwhile, the SeaQuest

chain continues to draw condemnation from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA. The animal welfare group broke the story of the charges against Belfiore, and said in a news release that her case is why “PETA urges everyone to stay away from” SeaQuest.

Southwest Plaza manager Greg Sims did not respond to a request for comment about SeaQuest Littleton.

SeaQuest locations in other states have drawn controversy as well. The chain’s Las Vegas location was cited for illegally breeding otters, according to news reports, and lost an exotic animal permit. In a news report, former employees alleged animal mistreatment, neglect and unreported deaths.

SeaQuest now has seven open locations nationwide, according to the company’s website, with three locations slated to open soon. PETA recently filed a request with the federal Department of Agriculture to shut the company down, according to a news release.

Slater said he hopes SeaQuest Littleton’s problems are behind it.

“I like coming to work here,” Slater said. “These are good people, and this is a good place. I want people to see that we’re clean.”

Transitional Scout troop plans information night Troop 5280 tailors experiences for boys and girls with special needs STAFF REPORT

A local Scout troop helps kids with special needs transition to the traditional Scout program, and it’s hosting an informational night for those who may want to join.

Troop 5280 of Scouts BSA — formerly the Boy Scouts of America, which now includes girls — started in 2009 to provide special needs scouts with a basic knowledge of the traditional Scouts BSA program.

Troop 5280 is the first Transitional Scouts BSA Troop for boys and girls ages 10 1/2 to 18 in the Denver area. The Troop works to build self-esteem, social skills and scouting skills. It follows the traditional scouting outdoor program, including camping, fishing and hiking, as well as rank advancement and work on merit badges. Troop 5280 tailors the

needs for each scout’s advancement to the scout’s individual strengths and challenges.

Once a Troop 5280 scout has experienced some fundamentals, the scout can transition to a local traditional troop and actively participate with his or her new troop’s scouting program, or the scout and parents can choose to remain with Troop 5280.

Girls and boys ages 5 to 10 1/2 are also invited because the troop wants to start a Cub Scout Pack for younger kids with special needs. Siblings of special needs students are encouraged to join as well.

Troop meetings are 6:30-8 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at Saint Peter Lutheran Church at 9300 E. Belleview Ave. in Greenwood Village, near Belleview Avenue and Interstate 25.

Interested kids and parents can come to an informational night at 7 p.m. Oct. 29 at that church.

If interested, contact Scoutmaster Juleon Duran at 303-570-0126 or gjkduran@aol.com, or Committee Chair John Peraro at 303-979-4683 or jjperaro@comcast.net.

Citizenship ceremony is Colorado’s largest in decade Nearly 200 people from 61 countries are naturalized at event

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The first thing Hadeel Mati did when she officially became a naturalized citizen of the United States was register to vote.

“I felt like after 10 years in this country I have the right to say what I think,” Mati said.

The Iraqi native came to the U.S. by way of the United Kingdom and married her husband. They both live in Arvada now.

Mati was one of 194 people who became naturalized U.S. citizens Sept.

25 at Centennial Center Park, which is near the Centennial office for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. In all, 61 countries were represented. It was the largest USCIS naturalization ceremony in Colorado since 2009, according to USCIS public affairs officials. Kristi Goldinger, the district director for the USCIS Denver Field Operations Directorate, announced the office will have naturalized close to 13,000 U.S. citizens in 2019.

Just north of where the ceremony was held, representatives from the

People at Centennial Center Park throw their hands in the air and cheer the moment they become naturalized citizens of the United States Sept. 25.

Colorado Secretary of State’s office helped the new citizens register to vote.

“I feel so powerful to be an American citizen,” Mati said. “I felt I have more options to say (what I want) — more freedom.”

Vinad Chandran, who lives in Arapahoe County, moved to the United States from India in 1997. He decided to finally become a naturalized citizen to help his family and his career, as well as have the ability to speak his mind.

“I’ve already been involved in the community here, but I think this puts a formal touch to it. It’s time for me to take that extra step,” Chandran said.

“When you say ‘freedom of speech’ ‘freedom of religion’… (in India) it’s got a different meaning. It’s really meant here. My heart is still there, but I think things will change now that I can speak freely and speak my mind.”

Maria Garton, of Colombia, lives in Castle Rock with her husband and daughter and has lived in the United States for nine years.

“I’m just very excited to be part of the country and have a voice and an opinion about our democracy,” Gaton said. “This county has given me a lot of opportunities.”

Naturalization is the process of becoming a U.S. citizen after the person completes the requirements established in the Immigration and Nationality Act. Foreign immigrants can qualify for naturalization if they have been a resident for at least five years (three years for to file as a spouse of a U.S. citizen), have served in the U.S. military or have a child whose parent is a U.S. citizen. For more information, visit USCIS.gov.

In 2017, the Denver USCIS office completed 7,600 naturalization applications and 9,400 in 2018. The Denver office’s average processing cycle time for naturalization is roughly 13 months. Statewide, the processing

cycle is about seven months.

The Denver USCIS office released a statement on the Sept. 25 ceremony: “The Denver Field Office has demonstrated its commitment to the naturalization process by achieving exceptional results to address an increase in pending applications …

We’re very proud of our accomplishments, and we will continue to work for the American people to administer our national lawful immigration system and protect its integrity.”

Almost 200 people became American citizens at Centennial Center Park, near the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Centennial.

VOICES

There are no words for these classic films

ilents are golden.

(Microsoft Word is telling me there’s a typo in that sentence, but it’s not true.)

Silent films are golden to me.

Many silent films and directors and performers were great, and most of them, except Charlie Chaplin, have been forgotten. Gore Vidal referred to it QUIET as “the United States DESPERATION of Amnesia.”

Many silent films are far better than films that are being made today.

I have about 1,600 cable channels, I watch six of them, and I can’t live without one of them.

Turner Classic Mov- Craig Marshall ies.

Smith I was a film history minor in college: I couldn’t get enough of films then, and I can’t get enough of films now. Good ones, that is.

I used to drive all over Los Angeles just to see a vintage film, like “Mr.

Hulot’s Holiday,” or “Sullivan’s Travels,” or “The 39 Steps.”

Turner Classic Movies spoils me.

I don’t have to drive anywhere, and they are always open.

Turner shows rarities I had never heard of, like “He Who Gets Slapped,” starring Lon Chaney, and “Jewelry Robbery,” starring Kay Francis.

My film history studies naturally began with silent films, and because most of them were short (“two reelers,” they were called), we watched a lot of them.

Every film history survey course begins with “The Great Train Robbery” and “A Trip to the Moon.”

“The Great Train Robbery” was made in 1903, and it’s significant because of its use of then-unconventional techniques and devices, but it’s not particularly entertaining.

“A Trip to the Moon” was made in 1902, and it’s still a dazzling example of film ingenuity. You may have seen the memorable shot of the space capsule landing on “The Man on the Moon’s” eye.

Chaplin should be remembered.

He was brilliant. I recommend “City Lights.” I have watched the ending 50 times, and I still get emotional about it.

I also recommend Chaplin’s “Modern Times,” although it is not entirely silent.

Appreciation is shown for silent films in two notable “talkies.”

Everyone has seen “Singin’ in the Rain.” Everyone should see “Sunset Boulevard.”

“Sunset Boulevard” is on my Top Ten list.

Look for Buster Keaton at the card table. Who? Keaton was just as good as Chaplin.

He made a bad career decision, and drank too much, and disappeared, but then he married a woman who was 23 years younger than he was, and she is credited with saving his life and restoring his career.

Keaton did all of his own stunts, and some of them were breathtaking.

The most famous one, in “Steamboat Bill, Jr.,” required absolute precision, otherwise a two-ton, two-story building façade would have killed

him when it toppled. He was standing within the clearance of a single open window.

Some have said Keaton was depressed at the time about his career and his failing marriage, and accepted the possibility he wouldn’t survive the stunt.

I mentioned his career mistake. His early films were produced by his own production company, and it allowed him to create on the spot, and to take full advantage of his own inspirations. Then he signed a contract with MGM, and MGM took the reins.

In 1965, a year before Keaton died, the Venice Film Festival paid tribute to him, and the longest standing ovation in the festival’s history — over 10 minutes — moved Keaton to tears.

It’s important to me to remember those who came first, and never forget.

Silents, please.

Check yourself if you’re just checking the box

T

op performers never just check the box — and neither should you.

We know when we are simply going through the motions, don’t we? We also recognize when we are doing something without passion or purpose, just kind of checking the boxes of life as we go along. It’s in the moment when we realize that our checking-thebox strategy isn’t quite getting us to where we want to be or WINNING allowing us to do what we are WORDS capable of doing, that’s when we become motivated to take action.

Top performers who excel personally and professionally never just check the box. They have a mindset to achieve personal excellence, a motivation to exceed professional expectations, and often find themselves Michael Norton inspiring excellence and top performance in those around them.

professional life just checking the boxes. I am not referring to our to-do list or task list. We want to get those checked off for sure. What I am referring to are the important and meaningful things in our lives that help to take our game to the next level.

Achieving personal excellence isn’t a result of checking the box or phoning it in. Achieving personal excellence is driven by our passion, it is fueled by our deepest desires, goals, and dreams. Whether we want to see a physical change, learn something new, or endeavor to explore and experience new things in life, we never get there by settling for where we are today. We reach higher, we see farther, and don’t check the box, we blow the box up.

Exceeding professional expectations is very much the same as achieving personal excellence.

Mediocrity becomes the norm when we get to work right on time and leave exactly when the clock says we should. Top performers aren’t driven by what time they come and go from work, top performers and those who exceed professional expectations are driven by results, not clocks.

Top performers under-promise and over-deliver.

What’s really driving our conflicts, and why should we care?

W

e’ve all got conflict in our lives. All of us. Whether we admit it, see it, or deny it, it’s there.

For some, it might be occasionally.

For others, it might be on a daily basis.

Almost none of us enjoy it, unless it’s an addictive adrenaline rush or compulsive need to create it. Most of us want to avoid it at all costs or get out of it as soon as possible. So, why do we have certain conflicts that resurface or just won’t go away? What if we knew a way to resolve it once and for all or prevent it in the first place? We might not be able to prevent all of our conflict, but we can certainly reduce it and its effects on our emotional and financial wellbeing.

As with anything, if we can just get to the root of the WHY — why are we still having conflict with our co-worker, neighbor, or partner. What’s beneath the appearances or situation of the conflict. What’s the underlying why behind the trigger that got me stirred up in the first place. We often think the

F

conflict is the situation of my co-worker’s inability to do their job, my neighbor playing their music too loudly, or my spouse not doing their fair share of the chores. Yes, those might have been the apparent triggers, but why do those bother me enough GUEST to create conflict between us? And why COLUMN do they re-occur?

Many conflict resolution models suggest that there are a few levels of emotions going on at the same time that push us into conflict.

Each of us has our own set of values Linda Newell and beliefs by which we live. We’re all unique with what I like to call our own little red wagons that we pull alongside of us, which contain our “B.S.” or Belief System.

We walk through life every day with our red wagon of beliefs, until … in a particular situation, our wagon

Stigma is barrier to treatment for behavioral health

ive years ago in September, I had started a new job in a large Colorado health system, working to expand behavioral mhealth services, chronic disease management, and public health programs. I was also calling hospitals and jails to see if my brother was still alive. He was living on the streets of St. Louis and, after 12 years of addiction to prescription painkillers, had started using heroin.

I would sit in my beautiful office with a view of downtown Denver and look in the mirror before my next meeting to see if they could tell I had been crying again. I could never let them know what I was going through: How could they trust me as a public health professional if I couldn’t even help my family?

- One day, when we hadn’t heard from him in weeks, I broke down in an executive management meeting, in front of a team of doctors, Ph.D.s, and a senior vice president. I tried to apologize, and pull myself together — and what happened next surprised me.

Every person in that meeting came to me after and told me a personal story about mental health or addiction. On this day, when I felt so alone, all of these people were right there in front of me all along. And all that fear and shame? That was MINE. As I learned that day and have continued to learn since, there is hardly a person I know who hasn’t felt that same isolation and loneliness.

When my brother was finally ready to get treatment, he lived with me for a year. During this time, I had to explain to other people my family situation and what it was like to be a caregiver for someone in recovery. It became one of the most important things I’ve

done in my life. To be there for him. To make sure he felt accepted. To make sure I understood more about his illness. To make sure he could always come to me with a relapse.

When the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health started the Lift the Label anti-stigma campaign GUEST in 2017, we had heard clearly from our comCOLUMN munity partners that stigma was a very real barrier to people seeking treatment.

The Colorado Health Access Survey from that year found that of the 67,000 Coloradans who needed but did not get services Cristen Bates for drug or alcohol use, almost 60% said stigma kept them from getting the care they needed.

Writing this op-ed and being a part of this campaign is scary and I wonder how people will judge me, my brother and my family. Part of me wants to be protective of him. But I have to get over my fear to bring stories public. It’s only when we realize we all know and love somebody who has been touched by addiction that we can move forward.

During National Recovery Month, I want to share a message of hope and support for anyone seeking help.

I want anyone who has been through — or is wanting to go to — treatment to know that getting help is nothing to be ashamed of; it is something to be proud of.

If you or a loved one wants to learn more about treatment for opioid use disorder, you can go to the Lift The Label site at liftthelabel.org to find a SEE BATES, P28

collides into someone else’s carrying different values. If at the same time, on another layer of our inner selves, we happen to be experiencing obvious or hidden stressors, those can contribute to creating conflict. These real-life stressors could be things like, “I’m so tired because I stayed up all night with my toddler’s teething tantrums,” or “I’m scared because I’m behind on the rent.” These don’t even cover more existential threats like “We’re all going to die because of politicians denying the climate crisis,” or “I’m mad at God for taking away my son’s life.”

These are all real underlying beliefs, values, and stressors that can bubble up in a big bowl of emotional soup (often when we least expect it) to create conflict in our lives. So instead of only asking ourselves how we can solve our current situation, we can also look into our hidden drivers creating the conflict and what we can do about those.

It’s Conflict Resolution Month in Colorado, so it’s a perfect time to take an internal look at what’s driving our conflicts. It’s amazing how relationships improve when we’re willing to look at ourselves, talk about it, and work it out together. If you want to learn about preventing or managing conflict, there are workshops, classes, articles, books, and facilitation and mediation professionals available.

Time to get in shape

for

SKI SEASON

Local trainers and coaches give advice on physical preparation Cameron Davis, owner of RockStar Fitness in Castle Rock, completes a goblet squat using a dumbbell. One can also use a kettlebell, he said.

Davis does one side of an “ice skater” exercise. He explains that to complete the routine from this position, you jump back to center then alternate to the mirror image of this pose.

Davis shows how to do “mountain climbers” using a Bosu ball. Broc Thompson, coach of the Jeffco ski team, recommends using this tool with multiple exercises to increase stability, he said.

Davis demonstrates one side of a mobility exercise he recommends for skiing. One should start with knees bent in the air and then alternate sides, he said.

A

s the Denver metro area’s temperature begins to drop, it’s that time of year again when the beach bod no longer matters and it’s the snow bod that needs some work.

That’s why the staff at Colorado Community Media decided to go out and find tips from ski/snowboard coaches and personal trainers on getting in shape to hit the slopes.

Those interviewed agreed that some of the most important things to keep in mind are cross training, eating right and taking it easy on the first few days in the mountains.

They offered exercises, stretches, meal ideas and ways to avoid injury.

Exercises to do at home When trying to decide what exercises and muscle groups to focus on before snow season, Michael Restivo of Colorado Mountain Club, based in Golden, breaks it down into three components: explosive movement, core strength and flexibility.

All these components can be practiced at home or in the gym through different movements and exercises.

Restivo likes workouts such as squat jumps, crunches and planks.

Cameron Davis, owner of RockStar Fitness in Castle Rock, recommends squat pulses, which consists of standing, placing the feet just outside hip length apart, pushing the hips back and moving into a seated position then pulsing in that position, he said. This can be done for 60 seconds to three minutes, depending how much an individual’s body can tolerate, he said.

“Ice skaters” are also good for preparing to ski, Davis said. To complete this exercise, one can do a one-legged jump with the opposing leg behind the body and the arms swaying accordingly, as if skating.

For snowboard-specific exercises, Davis prescribes the extension squat, which is like a regular squat but when the person stands up, he or she goes up on the toes to work the calves as well.

If a weight is available, he recommends goblet squats, which is a

regular squat while holding the weight at the chest. When standing back up, he suggests squeezing the glutes. This can be done 10 to 20 times, and it’s important to find a weight that feels challenging, he said.

Broc Thompson, the ski coach for Jeffco Public Schools’ alpine ski club, believes it is important to throw some balance and instability exercises into a workout. That means adding tools like Bosu or exercise balls into basic exercises like planks, lunges and crunches.

“Skiing is about reactive balance, you’re always dealing with a bunch of forces in a bunch of different directions,” Thompson said.

The main muscle groups the trainers suggested focusing on include glutes, hamstrings, middle back and core.

Outside of strength building, general aerobic exercises are also vital to avoid exhaustion on the hill.

One way to prepare for the fatigue that comes with skiing and snowboarding is to find a nearby hill and start walking up it a few times a week, Davis said.

Thompson believes the best course of action is to just stay in shape all year. Cross training with activities like tennis, hockey and cycling are his go-tos, he said.

“My feeling is the best plan is to stay active year-round so when the season changes it’s just a little adaptation,” he said, “and not full-on getting into shape for the first time of the year.”

Flexibility Outside of strength and aerobic exercises, it is also important to keep muscles loose by doing different stretches and mobility exercises, Davis said.

Before doing any workout, including hitting the slopes, Davis emphasizes the necessity of doing movementbased warm-ups such as high knees, butt kicks and just trying to move joints in all directions. This can help prevent injuries.

Another exercise is laying on the back with arms out and lifting the knees so that they’re at about a right angle then allowing them to fall to the right side then left side. This helps

loosen the back and allow for twisting while skiing or snowboarding.

Yoga is also a great way to keep up strength and mobile joints, Thompson and Restivo said.

Thompson, who is a stronger advocate of mobility exercises than muscle stretches, believes the hips and ankles are some of the most critical spots on the body to keep mobile for snow sports, he said. He recommends deep squats for hips and using a toe to “draw the alphabet” for ankle mobility, he said.

Nutrition All the trainers emphasized staying hydrated and making sure to fuel your body during long days on the mountain.

“One of my go-tos is my steel cut oatmeal with coconut oil in and maybe a protein shake on the side,” Davis said. “So you’re getting carbs, fats and protein.”

For snacks on the slopes he suggests peanut butter, power bars and fruit.

Listen to your body While it may be tempting to go all out on the first few days in the snow, Davis points out how important it is to listen to your body and work up little by little to avoid injury.

“Your body does give you warning signs,” he said. “Be really honest with yourself.”

His top advice for injury prevention?

“Check your ego at the door,” he said.

At the beginning of the alpine ski season, Thompson has his athletes start simple, he said.

“We start out doing basic drills on basic hills,” he said. “There’s so much you haven’t used in such a long time, so we definitely start slow.

Overall, the underlying practice that has worked for many skiers and snowboarders is to enjoy the sport and listen to their bodies.

“Especially for people who aren’t that much of a hardcore skier, I would say don’t get wrapped up in needing to be in the gym every single day,” Restivo said. “Have fun with it, vary your workouts…take care of your body, listen to your body.”

Tall Tales Ranch raises $200,000 in annual event A ranch for people with developmental disabilities will break ground in 2022

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tall Tales Ranch won’t be “shovel ready” for another three years, but the groundwork is being laid at what will be a residential facility for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

The 5th annual Tall Tales Ranch Hoedown at the University of Colorado South Denver in Lone Tree Sept. 28 raised more than $200,000 for the $12 million project.

The ranch will begin construction on part of the Schweiger Ranch property in 2022, according to Susan Mooney, a co-founder of the Tall Tales Ranch Board of Directors.

Jennifer La Berge was named the 2019 Volunteer of the Year by the board. Throughout the ceremony, future Tall Tales ranchers performed their various talents to keep the crowd entertained, a staple of the yearly event.

“The Talent Show is the absolute highlight of the event. Our guests love to see the ambassadors showcase their talents and we love providing a platform for them to be

More than 500 attended the hoedown, which aimed to raise money for the project.

The facility will hire ranch hands and staff, people without disabilities, who will help run the ranch.

Ranchers will live and work with the ranch hands and staff. Tall Tales is envisioned to be a “cottage community” where people can choose to rent a one- or two-bedroom space.

PJ Bernardis sings “The Star Spangled Banner” to open the Tall Tales Ranch Hoedown ceremony Sept. 28 at the CU South Denver campus in Lone Tree. Behind him is Cathy Law, Tall Tales Ranch board president.

PHOTOS BY NICK PUCKETT The ranch will include a community center barn for public events, dinners, fundraising activities and school and church group meetings.

Tall Tales hopes to raise $1.25 million, total, by the end of the year and $2 million by the end of next year.

Baskets by Karen Lugenbill will be included in the Rocky Mountain Weavers’ Guild Annual Fiber Arts Sale 2019, which is Oct. 10-12 at Englewood Civic Center.

New coffee shop coming to Englewood

All profits from Mango Tree Coffee will go toward helping children around the world

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When you buy coffee from Mango Tree Coffee in Englewood once it opens its doors, you’ll be doing more than just getting your morning started — you’ll be helping impoverished children from all around the world.

Mango Tree Coffee will soon open a location in Englewood at 3498 S. Broadway, hopefully by November or December. The coffee shop is a division of MANNA Worldwide, a Fort Worth, Texas-based nonprofit organization engaged in child development programs in this country and around the world. The organization works to help children with nutrition, education, orphanage, clean water, medical needs and more. All of the profits from Mango Tree Coffee will go to MANNA Worldwide.

Englewood was a perfect fit for Mango Tree Coffee, according to its general manager and one of its founders, Marc Corona. He’s

watched the city transform into an area where people and new businesses are moving in.

“We were trying to come up with ways to expand what we do around the world. We drink coffee,” said Corona. “It’s a big part of who we are. For me, I enjoy going to work every day knowing the work I do is going to help someone in need who otherwise wouldn’t have an opportunity to provide for themselves.”

The menu is still being developed, but Chris Baker, the coffee shop’s roaster, says he’s anticipating Mango Tree Coffee will have an assorted menu of lattes and some type of food. The coffee shop owns a farm in Guatemala from which it will get some of its products at some point, Baker said.

“My job is to try and make as good as a product as I can so that we can succeed on the end of giving back.

I’m just excited to be in a community like Englewood with great neighbors,” said Baker. “There’s a little void in coffee there, and we’re pretty excited to be there.”

Mango Tree Coffee currently has a location in Colorado Springs.

David Carroll, executive director for the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce, believes the coffee shop will add new life to the city’s central business district.

“Englewood is beginning to develop into a place where people

“The increase in the youth suicide rate over the last decade is staggering,” Reichardt said. “We’ve made investment in mental health care, but there’s more work to be done.”

Copp said she’s been impressed by the district’s approach to school safety.

“The safest our kids are all day is when they’re at an LPS school,” Copp said.

With the district facing possible budget cuts in coming years as enrollment remains flat and the district runs low on surplus cash, the candidates said the board will face tough decisions on where cuts should be made.

“We must not dip into teacher pay,” Roe said. “That’s just not on the table.”

McCrary, who sits on the district’s finance committee, said local budget cuts only increase the urgency to reform state-level funding. McCrary called cutting teacher salaries or positions “the last option.”

Copp said budget cuts are a tough matter, and said she “couldn’t promise teachers or programs won’t be cut until we dive in.”

“We’ve got to be as creative as we can to see where we can find cost savings,” Copp said.

The reality is that personnel costs are among the district’s largest expenditures, Reichardt said, so it’s too soon to say that cutting staff

GRIT An ACL tear hurts. No doubt — but the hardest part isn’t the physical pain.

It’s the doubt. The psych-out. When Tobin tore his ACL playing lacrosse, he needed the elite recovery team at Children’s Colorado to custom-build him a personalized path back to the game. But a path doesn’t mean a thing without the will to walk it. That takes grit.

Program gives fourth-graders free entrance to parks

Every Kid Outdoors provides annual passes to more than 2,000 federal recreation areas STAFF REPORT

Fourth-grade students can get a free annual pass to visit more than 2,000 federal recreation areas with their families, classmates, and friends.

The Every Kid Outdoors Program is an interagency collaboration of the Department of the Interior, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and U.S. Forest Service that provides fourth-graders with free access to explore, learn, and recreate in national parks, wildlife refuges, marine sanctuaries, forests and more.

“Introducing fourth-grade students to America’s public lands provides them with limitless opportunities to have fun, be active, improve fitness, and learn critical skills,” U.S. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt said in a news release. “Visits on class trips or family vacations to the rich variety of astonishing land-

scapes and historic treasures located on public lands will result in unforgettable experiences and, hopefully, forge lifelong connections to the outdoors.”

The bipartisan John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management and Recreation Act, which was signed into law by President Trump on March 12, 2019, authorized funding for Every Kid Outdoors for the next seven years.

To obtain the free pass, fourth-grade students visit the Every Kid Outdoors website, participate in a short educational activity, and download a voucher. The voucher is valid for multiple use between Sept. 1, 2019, and Aug. 31, 2020, to correspond to the traditional school year. The voucher may be exchanged for a keepsake pass at participating federal lands.

The voucher or pass grants free entry for fourth-graders, all children under 16 in the group and up to three accom-

panying adults (or an entire car for drive-in parks) to most federally managed lands and waters. The pass does not cover expanded amenity fees such as camping or boat rides.

Fourth-grade educators are also encouraged to take advantage of the wide range of educational programs and tools associated with the Every Kid Outdoors Program.

Educational activities, field trip options, information and tools in English and Spanish, and the ability to print vouchers for passes for students are all available on the website.

The Every Kid Outdoors Program replaces the Every Kid in a Park Program that was established in 2015.

The program focuses on children 10 years of age — the age of most fourth graders — based on research that indicates children ages 9-11 are at a unique developmental stage in their learning where they begin to understand how the world around them works in more concrete ways and they are more receptive to engaging with nature and the SEE PROGRAM, P26

what “check the box” means, it’s not in their vocabulary.

Inspiring others happens naturally for people who achieve personal excellence and exceed professional expectations. Just like positive people typically attract other positive people, winners often attract winners. Winners and people who want to get ahead tend to gravitate to those who are setting a positive example and delivering results.

Top performers set the pace and usually do not like to be overtaken. And as they strive for even greater success, they are bringing others with them along the way.

Some of us are motivated by the fear of loss or pain. We will not change, act, or react until we experience such great fear or potential loss. Others of us are inspired by pleasure or gain.

I definitely like pasta, nothing specific. Anything noodles.

Who is your favorite athlete and why?

Adrian Peterson. He was my idol growing up and I always watched his games.

What would be a perfect performance in your sport?

Two hundred all-purpose yards, maybe three touchdowns, no fumbles and on defense a pick and a handful of tackles.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

Probably AP bio right now. I want to go into pre-med in college and go down that track. I find it interesting,

avier Harrell admits that sometimes it was hard getting up during the summer to put in the extra work required to become an elite football player.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound senior running back and linebacker at Arapahoe High School is excelling this season in part because of the extra workouts he carried out during the

summer.

He was involved in different speed training workouts, specific football drills plus training with fellow Arapahoe players.

“Some mornings it was hard getting up,” said the unassuming Harrell, who carries a 3.91 gradepoint average. “I just had to think how it was going to pay off. Looking back now, I think I enjoyed it. I can definitely feel the hard work I put in has paid off.”

What do you like to do away from sports and school?

I hang out with my friends. I play a lot of video games. I’m a big gamer for sure.

What are your plans after high school?

I want to play football in college wherever I have the opportunity and go down the pre-med track and biology.

Do you have any pre-game habits or rituals?

I always wear the same undershirt for every game for the past two years. It probably stinks pretty bad, Just on the bus on the way to a game, I don’t say a single word.

What is your favorite movie?

“The Longest Yard.” I’ve watched it a couple hundred times. It’s a football movie and it is funny with Adam Sandler Have a suggestion for whom to feature in StudentAthlete Spotlight?

Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

COACH’S TAKE: With work he put in during the offseason, he is demonstrating so much on the field. He can run inside, outside and has been extremely durable. Frankly he could be our outside linebacker, he is so good. We’re trying to spell him and not overuse him.’

Rod Sherman, Arapahoe head football coach

Key stats | After five games, Harrell was averaging 111.1 yards per game rushing with 557 yards for 6.96 yards per carry. He has completed one pass for 20 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes. He has played sparingly at linebacker since he has been needed to play more in the offensive backfield.

5A football teams get down to league business

I

t is now crunch time for Class 5A football teams who have completed non-league schedules and jumped into league play last weekend.

The names of the leagues are confusing because of the realignment every two years, but it is clear that there will be some upcoming important league games.

There is no way that I am going to get into OVERTIME predictions but rather offer some observations.

Valor Christian, which has won five of the past seven state titles in 5A and eight overall state titles coverJim Benton ing all classes, has to be considered the favorite in the 5A Metro South League.

After the non-league schedule, the Eagles were averaging 389 yards of total offense sparked by league rushing leader Gavin Sawchuk, and had forced 11 takeaways with 12 quarterback sacks.

Castle View, off to a 4-1 nonleague start, opened the league season with a game against Valor on Oct. 4.

Valor has a combined overall record of 19-0 against the other five teams in 5A Metro South League.

Winless Highlands Ranch was one team looking forward to the league campaign after a tough non-league schedule with games against elite teams Eaglecrest, Grandview, Regis Jesuit, Columbine and Pomona.

Legend and Regis were both undefeated with 5-0 records heading into 5A South play but there was one big difference.

Regis is used to being a highprofile team, while Legend is enjoying its best start in school history and treading into new territory.

The Raiders had the league’s passing leader in quarterback Nico Marchiol, who has helped raise the team’s total offense to 400.2 yards per game heading into the first week of the league schedule. Legend was averaging 386.8 yards per game with the league’s leading rusher in Blake Rarog.

A showdown between Regis and Legend is set for Oct. 11 at Echo Park Automotive Stadium and could decide the league title.

Littleton High’s baseball field renamed to honor former coach Willie White led team to two state championships

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton High School’s baseball field has a new name: Willie White Field, after the longtime coach who led and inspired young men for a generation.

White, 84, was the guest of honor on Sept. 28, as hundreds of former baseball players and fellow coaches gathered at the field to pay tribute to the man who led the Lions to two state championships.

“I think they’ve got the wrong guy,” said White, seated beside his wife Margaret. “There were so many great coaches here. And the kids — I was so lucky to have such great kids. They made coaching easy.”

White was the LHS baseball coach from 1970-1990. He earned a World Series ring from the Philadelphia Phillies as a member of their scouting staff for nearly 20 years, and a slew of other honors from state baseball groups.

Honoring White by naming his old field after him was the least his old players could do for him, said Donnie Alexander, who pitched on the LHS varsity team in the late 1980s and spearheaded the effort to rename the field.

A new generation of Littleton High School baseball players look on as their predecessors honor former coach Willie White.

The 5A Metro East League is loaded with good teams as the six schools combined for a 26-4 non-league record.

Cherry Creek, Grandview and Eaglecrest were all 5-0 when league play opened. This is an understatement, but there will be plenty of key games on the schedule in the next few weeks.

Grandview opened the 5A Metro East league campaign with a 14-11 win over Eaglecrest on Oct. 3, and Creek ends the regular season with games against Eaglecrest, Cherokee Trail and Grandview.

Columbine and Ralston Valley were unbeaten heading into the 5A Metro West league play, but this is also a tough league and is hard to select a favorite with Lakewood and Pomona the other top teams.

Columbine, No. 1 in the Sept. 30 CHSAA.com poll, and Ralston Valley, ranked fifth, are explosive teams. The Rebels, before last weekend’s game, were averaging 293.4 yards rushing, 384.6 yards total offense and scoring 43 points a game. Ralston Valley was passing for 238.2 yards each contest with 392.8 yards of total offense and scoring at a 43.2 clip.

Both teams, however, should watch out for Pomona, which has won one 5A state championship and two runner-up state trophies, in the past five seasons.

Honor roll Each week, performances of South Metro athletes and teams will be highlighted. This week’s performances were selected from games, matches and meets between Sept. 27 and Oct. 3.
