Four lawmakers honored for their work on mental-health bill

MY NAME IS

KATHIE OWENS-TUCKER

19th-century house matron, psychotherapist Farm girl I have always wanted to live on a farm, because my mom grew up on one, and it was my favorite place to visit when I was a child in Ohio. When I got the job here 19 years ago, on my birthday, I was thrilled. I’m a historical site interpreter, and I’m the matron of the house on the 1890s farm.

My territory is to care for the herb, berry, and vegetable garden, to care for the livestock, and cook in the kitchen and provide historical food for the staff. We have meals together, made with things I grew and preserved.

I learned that Littleton was a suburb in the 1890s, and that it wasn’t that much different from how we live now.

Of course, we have technology, but there were so many conveniences then. People could go to department stores in the city and get anything they wanted.

Helping others I live a double life. I’m an 1890s lady, but I’m also a psychotherapist and addictions counselor with my own practice. I specialize in working with people who are addicted themselves, or are a partner or loved one of someone who is. I also work with people with mood disorders or relationship issues. I’m a holistic therapist — I consider the whole person.

I’ve learned that there are a lot of people who are suffering who don’t have to be if they let themselves accept help. Coming to therapy is intimidating, but people who come to me are courageous, and very relieved once they step into that relationship. It really makes a difference in their lives to have someone help them understand themselves.

Balancing them is perfect. I couldn’t do either one full time. In my office, I’m intensely relating to people and helping them with serious life problems, then I can come here and be outside in my garden, be with children and animals, and I couldn’t ask for a more perfect balance.

If you have suggestions for My Name Is, please contact David Gilbert at dgil bert@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

Colorado highways to get asphalt repairs CDOT project to include 14 roadway segments, six counties

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Colorado Department of Transportation has kicked off a five-month asphalt pavement repair project on 14 segments of highway, affecting six counties in and around the metropolitan area.

Repair projects will take place in Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver and Jefferson counties on I-70, I-25, US 36, CO 128, US 285 and US 40.

Asphalt pavement repair includes

placing heated sealant into cracks in and along the travel lanes of asphalt pavement and asphalt bridge decks to prevent water damage and slow pavement deterioration. The sealant material to be used on the roadways is highly durable and waterproof.

The repairs will increase the longevity of the roads and improve motorist safety, according to CDOT Resident Engineer Ryan Sorensen.

Working hours will be 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., Sunday through Thursday.

No detours or extended full road closures are planned, but motorists can expect various intermittent lane closures.

The work is weather dependent/ sensitive, so CDOT cannot plan the exact dates for each location too far in advance, said Stacia Sellers,

CDOT’s Region 1 communications specialist.

“We will know at least a week in advance where we’ll go next,” she said, “but if the weather takes a turn for the worse, we’ll move on to a different location with better weather.”

The project costs $1.3 million and CDOT. The contractor partner is Interstate Sealant Inc. The segments of highway included in the project are: • I-70 Eastbound: EisenhowerJohnson Memorial Tunnel to mile point 218 • I-70 Westbound: Silver Plume to Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel SEE REPAIRS, P22

Four Colorado lawmakers were honored by Healthier Colorado for their work in strengthening access to mental health services.

Sen. John Cooke, R-Greeley, Sen. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, and Rep. Lang Sias, R-Arvada, were presented with Legislator of the Year awards for their work in helping pass a bipartisan bill that ended the practice of jailing people during a mental health crisis.

Senate Bill 207, which took aim at a practice used by just six states nationwide, was one of the most significant pieces health care legislation during the 2017 session. The law also adds $7 million for crisis service facilities — including walk-in centers, acute treatment units and crisis stabilization units — to care for individuals in need.

“It would be illegal to jail an innocent person because they have a concussion or broken leg. Our public policy must be made to reflect the reality that mental and physical health is co-equal,” said Jake Williams, executive director of Healthier Colorado.

Nonprofit Healthier Colorado is drawing attention to the mental and behavioral health needs of the state.

Colorado is behind many other states in the nation when it comes to key mental and behavioral health care indicators, consistently ranking in the top 10 states for suicide, opioid addiction and alcoholism.

This crisis is further exacerbated by the fact that many of the state’s rural communities do not have adequate access to mental and behavioral health treatment. More than 80 percent of Colorado’s psychologists are in the Denver metro and Colorado Springs areas, and 12 counties don’t have a single licensed psychologist.

LPS forum tackles youth suicide issues Panel discussion seeks to connect parents with crisis resources

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Public Schools is addressing the issue of student suicide after two students took their own lives at the beginning of the school year.

Panelists from a variety of mental healthcare entities spoke to parents, educators and community members during a forum at Mission Hills Church on Oct. 10 that also hosted booths from various mental health outreach groups.

Drawing in schools, parents and mental health care providers is an important step to solving the issue, LPS superintendent Brian Ewert said.

“Mental illness is as real as the common cold and influenza, and as life-threatening as cancer or heart disease,” Ewert said. “It’s important we have an ongoing dialogue, not just right after a tragedy. If we don’t we’ll be asking why after the next funeral. ” The gist of the meeting: there’s more help out there than you might think, but addressing youth suicide is a group effort.

Anyone in crisis — or anyone helping someone in crisis — can call Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-493-

Panelists address parents and teachers at LPS’s meeting on suicide prevention.

8255, or text “TALK” to 38255 to be connected to trained crisis intervention counselors, said Doug Muir, the director of the Behavioral Health Service Line at Porter Adventist Hospital.

“This isn’t just for someone who’s suicidal,” Muir said. “This is for friends, parents, teachers and health care providers. There’s no wrong call to this number. Even at 3 in the morning, you have support. They will listen if you want to share your story, and they will guide you through the crisis

system and help you access different options and levels of care.”

People in crisis can also use AllHealth Network’s crisis walk-in center at 6509 S. Santa Fe Drive, Muir said.

“You don’t even have to bring the person in crisis with you,” Muir said.

The idea that avoiding the topic of suicide is better for kids is a myth, said Cindy Hodge, vice president of training for LivingWorks, a suicide intervention training group.

“They already know it’s an option,” Hodges said. “It’s in television and movies. They know it’s something people do. Not talking about it leaves them alone with their thoughts.”

Parents shouldn’t beat around the bush when talking to kids, Hodges said.

“Be open and direct,” Hodges said.

“You have to ask if they’re thinking about suicide, because they need to be able to answer that. It’s never an easy question. Don’t take it personally if they don’t want to talk to you, but if you have the instinct that something’s not right, you need to ask.”

LPS is working hard to make sure students have access to a variety of resources and programming to address mental illness, said Nate Thompson, LPS’s director of Social, Emotional and Behavioral Services.

The district uses programming like SafeTalk, which educates students on suicide warning signs, and gives them tools to seek help, Thompson said. The district is also working with Sources of Strength, a group that seeks to reduce youth suicide by encouraging strength, resilience and mutual support.

Sources of Strength is especially useful because it’s peer-led, said Scott Lomery, the group’s deputy director.

“There are a lot of teen suicide prevention programs without any teens,” Lomery said. “We want their voices. They’re crucial. When we talk about population level change, it has to be a culture change effort. How do we build resiliency and increase connectedness? How do we shift norms around help seeking so that asking for help is a sign of strength and courage?

Seeking help for a friend isn’t snitching, it’s being a good friend. We’ll all

NEED HELP? Anyone in crisis, or hoping to help someone in crisis, can call the Colorado Crisis Services Hotline at 1-844-493-8255 or text “TALK” to 38255.

For more information about Littleton Public Schools’ crisis services, the district recommends first reaching out to school counselors and social workers.

go through hard things. How do we create healthy individuals and communities?”

Faith organizations can have a role to play, said Shannon Popp, Mission Hills Church’s high school pastor.

“We’re trying to intentionally create smaller communities,” Popp said.

“There’s a difference between communication and connection. We’re trying to put adults into the lives of students who come here so they can have conversations in a safe environment. We give consistency — when they come here, they can work with the same adults who are there for them.”

Talking to young people facing suicidal ideation can be daunting, said Amy Cardinal, whose son Ethan died by suicide last year.

“You’re on one side of a ravine, and a child in crisis is on the other side,” Cardinal said. “You tell them to trust you, but they can’t trust that. They feel all alone. You can see the ravine is small and shallow, but they see the Grand Canyon. We must come together as a community to end this tragic epidemic.”

Youth suicide touches everyone in the community, said Kim Makendrick, whose three children attend the same schools as the two students who recently died by suicide.

“I want the tools to help my kids if they go through crisis, or help my kids deal with it when their friends do,” Makendrick said. “I’m glad we’re doing this, even though I’m sad this is where we’re at.”

Little known about committee that backs newcomers for council Group supports Elrod and Schlachter, shares connections with anti-Sunshine faction

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A new campaign committee has thrown its support behind at-large city

council candidates Karina Elrod and Kyle Schlachter, but who’s behind it is a mystery.

The committee, called Littleton Citizens Committed to the Community, operates a website, littletoncitizens.com, which links to Schlachter and Elrod’s campaign websites. The site lists no contact information or other links.

The committee’s registered agent — a point of contact — is Jessica Williams, a financial analyst who grew up in Highlands Ranch, but moved to Littleton last year from Washington, D.C.

“I’m not in charge,” Williams said.

“There are a lot of different people in charge, and I don’t even know who they all are, because I choose not to ask.”

Williams declined to identify other members of the group.

Williams is married to Mike Williams, who challenged Susan Beckman in the House District 38 Republican primary last year. Beckman, who is the wife of Littleton Mayor Bruce Beckman, won the primary and the general election.

Jessica Williams is also the regis-

tered agent for Littleton, Awake!, a community activist group started in the summer of 2016 after the controversial firing of Michael Penny as city manager.

Williams characterized Awake as a counter to Sunshine, another local activist group that is often characterized as being opposed to development efforts in the city and has been associated with Penny’s firing.

Awake kicked off its activities with a letter of no confidence in the four SEE AWAKE, P22

Q&As with at-large candidates for Englewood City Council Joe Anderson Joe Anderson has lived in Englewood for nine years. He’s the director of Unite Englewood, a coalition of churches and nonprofits that works together to serve the city.

He has a bachelor’s deAnderson gree in business administration from Wichita State University and a master’s degree in biblical studies from Rocky Mountain Seminary.

Contact: 720-998-6116 or andersonjosephe@gmail.com Campaign website: BringingEngle woodTogether.com Why do you want to serve on the Englewood City Council?

I want to use my experience in building collaborative partnerships to serve our city. My aim is to address our most pressing needs so that my kids will grow up in a vibrant city with sound infrastructure, smart development and strong neighborhoods. I want them to be able to start a business out of the garage and grow it into a powerhouse without needing to move out of Englewood. I want to ensure that they grow up in a city with well-maintained roads, bridges and buildings, and a rich cultural life with strong neighborhood relationships.

Steve Yates has lived in Englewood for more than 30 years. He is the owner and operator of Mr. Fire Sprinkler and Extinguisher, a company that installs fire sprinklers and services extinguishing systems. He also managed a camera store for professional photographers. He is an at-large city councilmember first elected in 2013.

What can city council do to increase revenue sources for the city?

No one wants to raise taxes, and that leaves us with two other options.

First, we want Englewood to be the most business-friendly town in the metro area. We want people to come from all over south metro to start businesses here, and to spend money at Englewood businesses, which raises sales tax revenue. In order to do this, we need to continue to beautify South Broadway to make it a walkable downtown where people can dine, drink and shop. Second, we also need to explore other creative avenues like the biogas reclamation proposal for our wastewater treatment plant.

Amid rising housing prices, what can city council do to ensure young families are not priced out of Englewood?

City council has little influence over the supply and demand forces that shape the housing market. People want to move to the greater Denver area, and Englewood’s small-town feel, growing number of restaurants and retail establishments, and proximity to Denver and the Denver Tech Center via car and light rail make it an attractive place to live.

Born and raised in Jamaica, I moved to Englewood 12 years ago and have built a wide-ranging record of service to the community. I want to put this service and my education to work for Englewood as we champion sensible growth, fiscal responsibility and integrity on council in order to make Englewood more affordable, inclusive and sustainable. I will work with fellow city councilmembers, Englewood residents and the business community to adopt responsible budgets, continue the revitalization of our downtown, keep crime out of Englewood and make informed and transparent decisions regarding our development and the infrastructure to support it.

What can city council do to increase revenue sources for the city?

We should continue to attract small businesses to Englewood so that we can leverage taxes to supplement city revenues. At the same time, we may want to consider online retail sales taxes. Colorado began taxing online retailers in 2010 but regulation of this taxation began this year ... Based on this, online sales taxes could be one method to increase our revenue sources.

Amid rising housing prices, what can city council do to ensure young families are not priced out of Englewood?

Englewood is growing, and we’re a closed city, so many of our options include growing upward! When we study best practices in sustainable urban development and economic planning for cities like ours, we find innovative transportation options and other ways (to) sensibly build our budget so that we can support citizens.

Within our younger population, at this point, these individuals may struggle to afford a house in Englewood when they are older and ready to settle with their own families. There are lots we can do such as incentivizing private apartments to accommodate that rise, if we work cohesively.

What types of crime most need to be addressed in the city and what can be done?

A longitudinal study of crime rates in the city from 2001 to 2014 shows us that homicide, rape, robbery, assault, theft burglary, arson and auto theft are SEE WINK, P8

What can city council do to increase revenue sources for the city?

Do a leakage study to see what services people are currently leaving Englewood and going somewhere else to purchase. Then work at bringing that service or store to our city … We need to either find ways to lower (cost, or) do a public-private solution.

Yates In some instances, the service may need a rate or fee adjustment. I am not one to look at taxing, but when it comes to internet purchases, our city and state is losing valuable revenue to internet sales. Council needs to work more with the state to implement a system of internet sales taxation.

Amid rising housing prices, what can city council do to ensure young families are not priced out of Englewood?

City council cannot control what the market is doing, but it can do things that will allow for additional income such as accessory dwelling units. Have a building department that is easy to work with. This will make it easier for people to buy a fixer and do the work themselves or add on to their home when more room is needed.

What types of crime most need to be addressed in the city and what can be done?

Opioids: Unfortunately, it is a huge problem nationwide, and there is not an easy solution. What it will take is to provide better tools for our first responders and have a method of having follow-up contact with the person and families. This could be from a variety of agencies and volunteer organizations. Domestic violence: This is an

age-old problem that has plagued humanity from the beginning. From a city level, we are bringing a social worker onto the police force to help.

The courts also play a big part.

What two issues need more attention than the current city council has given them?

Capital improvement projects: This ranges from water treatment plant improvements required by the federal government and the state. Renovating of city hall: This would allow for consolidation of other city offices around the city.

We would also be able to reduce the operational cost of city hall by approximately $3 million a year. Homelessness will require a combination of efforts. In order to address (it), we will have to work with a variety of organizations such as churches, volunteer groups, county services and social workers.

Q&As with District 4 candidates for Englewood City Council Dave Cuesta Dave Cuesta has lived in Englewood with his family for nine years. He said he grew up on “the other side of Englewood” near South Cherokee Street and West Yale Avenue. Cuesta is the chief compliance officer for Native Roots, a marijuana dispensary company with locations around the state. He is a former criminal investigator for the Marijuana Enforcement Division of the Colorado Department of Revenue He has a bachelor’s degree in business administration, with a concentration in management, Cuesta from Mesa State College, now called Colorado Mesa University. He’s working toward a master’s degree in management at Colorado State University-Global Campus, the school’s online arm. He graduated from the Law Enforcement Academy at Arapahoe Community College.

Contact: 303-881-2978 or davecuesta 14@gmail.com Campaign website: cuestafor council.com Why do you want to serve on the Englewood City Council?

First and foremost, I love Englewood. I believe that my District 4 neighbors deserve a functional and responsive local government with accessible representation. (Council should) listen intently to Englewood’s citizens and act on their behalf. If elected, I will embody my campaign principal of “Responsive Representation.” Neighbors can call or email me with any concerns, no matter how large or small, and I will promptly begin seeking answers and solutions on their behalf. I’ll stay in close contact with the neighbors as I work through problems so they are updated on progress made to address and resolve their concerns.

What can city council do to increase revenue sources for the city?

Attracting new businesses to Englewood must become a focal point of both city council and city officials.

Far too many vacant units exist on Broadway, Englewood Parkway near the Civic Center and, now, the Kmart lot at Broadway and Belleview Avenue. Attracting thriving businesses increases revenue for city operations and creates jobs and wages that are often spent within the city, which compounds the revenue benefits. Englewood residents that I’ve spoken with have no trouble articulating what a

tremendous community Englewood is. It is imperative that city representatives are actively sharing the same message with businesses looking for a home.

Amid rising housing prices, what can city council do to ensure young families are not priced out of Englewood?

City council members have little control over housing prices. However, councilmembers can impact the associated costs of homeownership in Englewood. A raise in property taxes has been proposed as a solution to the current budget shortfall, or “fiscal cliff ” … that will arrive in 2020 if not sooner. Council must begin working diligently … If the sales taxes revenue does not continue (on) the upward trajectory that has been forecast in the budget projections, budget shortfalls could arrive sooner than expected.

Council must work now to ensure no property tax increases occur as a result of budget shortfalls.

What types of crime most need to be addressed in the city, and what can be done?

I’ve knocked on well over 1,000 doors … and … the most frequent concern I’ve heard is a lack of regard for traffic laws … speeding, failure to obey stop signs and red lights, and distracted driving … Partnerships should be fostered among neighbors and (police) so that the tremendous members of … Englewood police (are aware of problem areas) ... There (are) low-cost solutions … like placing neon flags on stop signs, making sure trees don’t overgrow (them) and placing “speed trailers” (Englewood) already owns along roads that alert motorists to the allowed speed limit and their … speed.

What two issues need more attention than the current city council has given them?

The … serious budget shortfall that is anticipated in 2020 must be addressed immediately ... Englewood, and much of the metro area, has experienced the great fortune of several healthy economic years. I hope these … years stay forever, but it’s foolhardy to assume they will.

Future development must be … carefully considered … with as much community input (as possible) …

Public confdence in the Allen Water Treatment Plant must be fully restored for all Englewood neighbors.

It must be true and transparent that residual “sludge” is being stored and removed exactly as state and local regulations require.

I love our city and the wonderful people living here! I’ve used my experience in business while serving on council to be a positive force and bring new and fresh ideas to help us all grow and prosper into the future. Englewood will continue to need new and innovative ideas to lead us forward, and I believe I have those ideas and leadership to see it to fruition. There are numerous challenges we as a city will face in the near future, and I believe I can continue adding productive and key common-sense thoughts and ideas while leading us forward.

What can city council do to increase revenue sources for the city?

There are only a few ways to increase revenue in the city: raise taxes on our businesses and property or have more people buying items in our city to help raise revenue through sales tax collection. I prefer the latter! The best opportunity to keep the services and lifestyles we have come to enjoy in Englewood is to promote business growth. We also need people to be encouraged to buy local. It also helps if we have more people buying than we have now, which means we also need more residents in our city to increase our buyer pool.

Amid rising housing prices, what can city council do to ensure young families are not priced out of Englewood?

There is no easy answer. Home prices all over the Denver area including Englewood are going up. This is great for homeowners wanting to sell but very difficult for young families to be able to share the dream of homeownership. While we as a city cannot control a free market, we can provide resources … on first-time homebuying programs like Home Possible, Colorado Housing Assistance Corporation, Colorado Housing and Finance Authority and others. Unfortunately for buyers, it’s not getting cheaper (soon). Good credit, a healthy savings account and even help from families are what most young families are doing now.

What types of crime most need to be addressed in the city and what can be done?

Simple — all crimes! I have spent many hours on ride-alongs with our police department, and I know that no crime is overlooked. The city takes crime seriously and even has teams undercover in areas that are higher in crime to … stop criminals from having free reign in our city. Recently, on Delaware Street, we had a problem home with drugs and other crimes committed. The city had a task force assigned to this issue and brought relief to the residents of this community. The city is committed to continue fighting crime in all ways possible.

What two issues need more attention than the current city council has given them?

We have (successfully) put off numerous capital improvement projects ... we have an aging infrastructure that will need replacement or major refurbishment … The solution to these issues must be well thought-out and be presented to our community with … options. We need to address the Englewood Civic Center building.

This is a very expensive property ....

We spend over $1 million a year in utilities alone. To ensure we have the resources going to where it is needed most we must …ask whether we can do it cheaper. We could get another building (and) save money (for) capital projects.

our time was spent addressing nonviolent, nuisance- level issues created by the homeless. With homelessness on the rise everywhere, we can’t wish the problem away.

We need creative and collaborative solutions that work for residents and businesses, but also treat our homeless with dignity.

all down from the previous 14 years. I would still like to see these numbers decrease, especially as our population numbers and our economy are on the rise.

The issue of drugs in our city, however, is a key concern, and I would like to support our colleagues on the Englewood Police Department — namely the impact team and its great work thus far — to continue to get this under greater control.

a strong understanding for the multiple ways that our city must function to provide a quality of life for all. I can provide strong council continuity and vision for our newly adopted comprehensive plan and vision.

What can city council do to increase revenue sources for the city?

Our city depends on sales tax for much of its revenue. Property tax goes mainly to the county and schools. This means retail sales is our prime Olson revenue source and volatile with the economy.

We need to keep our retail business opportunities vibrant, encourage “Buy Englewood” habits and attract those outside of Englewood to spend time and resources in Englewood.

But infrastructure needs are going to require more thoughtful financing whether through bonds or (publicprivate) partnerships. Regardless, the voters should have a say in this, and I

What two issues need more attention than the current city council has given them?

The first is homelessness. Very little has been done to address this growing issue as I described above. The second is our city infrastructure: $77 million in critical updates are needed in the near future and we have no plan to pay for them. Our current budget is balanced for our operations (paying city staff and running our programs and services) but doesn’t account for capital improvements. City council needs to come up with a strategic plan to ensure that our roads, bridges and buildings are kept in good working order.

What two issues need more attention than the current city council has given them?

Council has their hands quite full already. What I would like to see is the ability for city council to minimize time spent trying to work as a unified and cohesive group because at that time, we can then afford to dedicate time to supporting a much wider set of initiatives. Top initiatives on my list include 1) protecting Englewood’s number-one asset: our water; 2) providing proper planning for highdensity growth to ensure adequate infrastructure and traffic management; and 3) preventing big-city crime from encroaching into Englewood.

will support ballot initiatives to help chart our economic future.

Amid rising housing prices, what can city council do to ensure young families are not priced out of Englewood?

We need to continue a balance of accessibly priced housing and home ownership-friendly policies. Affordable housing is relative to jobs and income, so attracting jobs with more than livable wages will help our residents live, work and play here.

Encouraging home renovations and incentives to help families stay in Englewood will also stabilize the market and prevent a transient renters’ market.

What types of crime most need to be addressed in the city and what can be done?

Theft and robbery are the most common crimes in our city. While we can do more to prevent crimes of opportunity with education and awareness, this kind of crime often occurs due to economic stress and drug-related activity. Adding more police officers is

important, along with a social-service approach. I would like to see us add a social worker to our police department who can help with prevention and treatment approaches that are more long-term.

What two issues need more attention than the current city council has given them?

(What) perplexes me most is how to approach and care for (the) homeless. Englewood does not have health and human services (facilities) like our larger neighbors. We need to seek services from the county and state and develop a … plan that includes businesses, faith communities, neighbors and city offices. All cities are dealing with … infrastructure needs. Roads, bridges, water/sewer, storm drainage and parks amenities require largescale funding. We have done a great job … year by year for the most pressing ... It is time for a longer-term plan … for which Englewood residents can weigh in.

Air quality improving, but still not ideal Population growth means residents need to do their part, experts say

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There are some days, primarily in the summer months between May and September, when Coloradans should re-think partaking in vigorous exercise outside.

But that doesn’t mean the air quality here is so concerning that everybody should feel they need to move out of Denver, said Anthony Gerber, an associate professor of medicine at National Jewish Health.

“On the days when ozone is high, people should take it seriously,” he said. “We’re not where we need to be, but on most days, the air is safe.”

Loosely defined, ozone is a powerful respiratory irritant, commonly known as smog, which is formed by pollutants in the air that react in the presence of sunlight. It is one of the most complex pollutants we deal with, said Jeremy Neustifter, a planner with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

“Colorado has come a long way in improving air quality since the days of the notorious brown cloud,” Neustifter said, noting that progress has

occurred despite the state’s rapidly increasing population and increasing energy demand.

Still, it’s something to pay attention to.

When to be aware of the air The CDPHE issues an action alert when it is forecasted that ozone concentrations might be at or exceed orange level on the Air Quality Index, a colored-coded resource that demonstrates six levels of health concern.

Orange is the third level, and it means the air is unhealthy for sensitive populations such as people with lung disease, including asthma, seniors, children and teenagers, and people of all ages who spend a lot of time being active outdoors.

For the 2017 calendar year, as of Sept. 20, the state recorded 39 action alert days. Of those, 29 days had ozone concentrations at an orange level.

Although progress is being made toward cleaner air nationwide, 125 million people in the U.S. still live in a community with poor air quality, said Paul Billings, national senior vice president of advocacy for the American Lung Association.

“Anyone can be harmed by air pollution,” Billings said. “There are far too many people breathing far too much air pollution on far too many days.”

According to the American Lung Association’s 2017 State of the Air

SEE CLUBS, PXX

report, released in April, the Denver area experienced fewer unhealthy days of high ozone in this year’s report compared to years past. Still, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties each received a failing grade of F and Denver County received a D. However, Neustifter argues that although the report can be a useful resource to help people to better understand air quality more easily, the CDPHE has some concerns regarding the American Lung Association’s methodology for grading.

For example, he said, the vast majority of the days that counted against Colorado counties for the State of the Air report’s grading system were orange, the level considered unhealthy for sensitive populations. The report cites few days in Colorado where ozone concentrations were red, the level above orange when the air quality is considered unhealthy for everyone and all exposed may experience health effects, Neustifter added.

Gains and losses Colorado, in general, has made some major gains with cleaning up the air.

For example, cars are getting cleaner, Gerber said. But, even though they’re cleaner, the Front Range population is growing and there are more on the roads, meaning more pollutants entering the air.

But, he added, the problem is

multipronged — there’s not just one contributor that can be blamed for poor air quality.

“As the Front Range grows, we need to be vigilant on helping the problem,” Gerber said, “rather than making it worse. That responsibility should be shared by everyone, from individuals to corporations.”

One factor holding back Colorado’s progress in cleaning air — as compared to other states — is increased oil and gas extraction, Billings said.

Agencies such as Denver’s Department of Environmental Health are aware of this.

In fact, a bulk of the department’s workload includes figuring out how to reduce ozone, said Gregg Thomas, environmental director in the City and County of Denver’s Department of Environmental Health.

Currently, the department is working on a policy that could help to reduce emissions in the oil and gas industry, Thomas said.

But it’s important for the general public to understand it also can help improve air quality on a daily basis by doing little things, such as using public transportation more often, Thomas said.

“When there’s a million of us doing it, we can make an impact,” Thomas said. “Even if you don’t think it’s a lot, that collective impact can make a difference.”

VOICES You’re right, owner of an unleashed dog — you’re amazing, and we’re lucky to have you

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

I

have some very good news for some of you — and you know who you are.

You are exempt from all of the dog leash laws and ordinances and regulations in Douglas County. And do you know why? Because you are special. You are special and cool and different than everyone else, and your dog is simply better than our dogs.

And don’t bother picking up after your dog either. Someone else will do it for you, because you and your dog are special.

I could write a novella about someone who ignores something as simple and important as leash laws. In a single behavior, it tells me all I need to know - and want to know — about someone.

I met my first brother-in-law on a golf course. He cheated, and that told me all I needed to know about him.

A man getting out of his car in the grocery store parking lot dumped his cigarette butts and ashes on the ground. All I needed to know about him.

A passenger who get on planes with enough carry-ons for two, all I need to know.

God, or someone or something, is in the details. That aphorism is credited to architect Mies van der Rohe, who also said, “Less is more.”

Others have said, “More is more,” and “Less is a bore.”

There are two sides to every story.

Get off the fence when it comes to forgiveness

I

f you do not have anyone in your life that you need to or should forgive, or if you have no reason to be forgiven yourself, you may want to skip this column today. However, if you believe that there are one or more people who you would feel better about forgiving, and if there are any people that you believe could offer you forgiveness, then this column is for you and I invite you to keep reading.

For me personally, I like to believe that I am very good at forgiving others, regardless of the hurt or misunderstanding. And as far as being forgiven by others, let’s just say that is a work in progress for now as I work on my own forgiveness fences.

So what is a forgiveness fence?

It is that barrier that we place between ourselves and those who have hurt us in some way, large or small. It’s that fence that we want to stay behind until we receive a proper apology. It’s that wall that holds us hostage from forgiving others and freeing our-

selves from the pain, the exhaustion of the battle, and inability to move forward.

The forgiveness fence is also what separates others from forgiving us.

It is an obstruction to allowing us to forgive ourselves. The Michael Norton forgiveness fence grows wider and higher with each day that passes where we cannot forgive ourselves and where others will not forgive us for whatever reason.

The forgiveness fence is built by both parties so that we can live in the anguish of not forgiving or we can stand on the other side of the fence feeding a grudge that needs to go away.

I am sure you have heard the saying when someone is torn between two options, they say something like, “I am on the

“No.” The dog bites the man.

“I thought you said your dog does not bite.”

“That is not my dog.”

The other side of this story is this: I am seeing an unleashed dog and I am seeing you, but it is not your dog.

However, you call out a name and it comes running.

Vote yes on 4B and 4C On our mail ballots arriving this week, South Suburban Park and Recreation District residents will have the opportunity to ensure the future high quality of our district’s amenities through extending our existing property taxes, by voting yes to Ballot Issues 4B and 4C. Issue 4B focuses on the maintenance and preservation of existing assets, while 4C focuses on providing future major upgrades and additional amenities for residents of all ages. A YES vote on both issues also will improve energy and water efficiency in our parks, fields and facilities.

You can learn more about 4B and 4C at www.yeson4band4c.com and at facebook. com/4Band4C. Additional information about these two ballot issues also can be found in Arapahoe County’s “blue book” (which is white) on pages 13-16, recently mailed to all registered voters.

Several weeks ago on one of our daily autumn walks along South Suburban’s beautiful sunlit trails and parks, our house guests from hurricane-impacted Florida commented “How lucky you are to have so much open land and so many parks and trails! Do you ever take this all for granted?” No, I never do. None of us should!

Please continue to invest in our community’s health and home values and in our priceless open spaces, parks, trails and many other recreational amenities, now and for future generations — without increasing taxes — by extending the South

Suburban property taxes we currently pay.

Vote yes on Ballot Issues 4B and 4C. Sue Rosser Centennial (former member of the South Suburban board of directors) Vote for Brzeczek for council I support Carol Brzeczek for the Littleton At-Large Council seat in the upcoming all mail-in municipal election.

Carol has a massive list of endorsements from community leaders, local friends and neighbors. People who live in Littleton. Be wary of candidates who are supported by city employee unions and special interest groups. Their interest may not be aligned with your interest. It reminds me of the fox in the hen house.

Carol has the experience and energy to lead Littleton over the next few years.

She will fight to preserve and protect the neighborhoods, to keep what makes Littleton special. She will not support the latest and greatest growth fad of high-density, low-quality, tax-supported development that is engulfing the metro area.

Carol knows the value of our community with a small hometown feel of charm and character. It is why we choose to live in Littleton.

Please join me in voting for Carol.

unleashed dog.

It shows that you are an independent thinker, and the winds of life are at your back and in your favor.

It shows that you, yourself, are an unleashed dog.

It also shows that you are a jackass.

I guess it’s cavalier. Some of us roll stop signs and follow too closely.

Twenty items in a 10-items-or-less line.

Leashing your dog might be seen as a sign of conformity. You know? Do as you’re told. Draw inside the lines.

I learned how to draw because I didn’t have lines to draw inside of. I was given blank books, and was told: “Draw.”

But in real life, I draw inside the

lines. And that’s why Smitty is on a leash.

An unleashed dog is a recipe for consequences no one wants. Your dog bites or is bitten. Your dog runs away or is run over.

As you all know, there are designated off-leash dog parks in Douglas County.

For what it’s worth, if a dog confronts my dog, I will do whatever I have to do to assure the safety — and longevity — of my dog.

Smitty thinks he is ferocious, but a larger dog could dismantle him quite easily. Sometimes dogs will just sniff each other, and sometimes they think they are Tyson and Spinks.

None of that comes into play, if your dog is leashed.

fence about that.” Well, how many of us are riding the fence on forgiveness? We know we should give it, we are so close, we are right there, we are on top of the fence, all we need to do is get to the other side.

You may not agree with me on this next statement, however I believe that we make forgiveness harder than it has to be, don’t we? And the longer we withhold it, the longer we go on refusing to forgive others or ourselves, the wider and higher that fence grows. To make things easier, we don’t have to worry about scaling a wall or climbing a fence, all we

have to do is “be” the door. Did you catch that? We don’t build a door or construct a gate, we are the door, we are the gateway to forgiveness. We own that step.

Forgiveness is freedom. Forgiveness is freeing. Forgiveness costs us nothing — it is free.

So how about you? Are you riding the fence of forgiveness or are you enjoying the freedom of forgiveness?

I would really love to hear your forgiveness stories at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we can be the gateway to forgiveness, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTERS FROM PAGE 12

Time for change on council I take city council elections very seriously, but I actually laughed out loud when I saw a postcard from the triumvirate of council candidates Brzerczek, Clark and Fey urging voters to “Clean up the Swamp” (excuse me, “Mess”) on the Littleton City Council.

What made it so funny is that Brzerczek and Clark have been leading the council by the nose for many years, resulting in the very mess they say they now want to clean up.

After 12 years of Clark’s “leadership” and Brzeczek’s behind-thescenes manipulations, the atmosphere on council is as toxic and regressive as the atmosphere in our nation’s capital.

It’s time for new, positive blood on council. I urge your vote for at-large candidates Kyle Schlachter and Karina Elrod.

Susan Thornton Former mayor of Littleton Let’s work to calm the storm With almost two months left to go, the 2017 hurricane season is breaking records. The combined costs of Harvey, Irma and Maria are nearly $400 billion; almost 300 people in the region have lost their lives. How many category 5 hurricanes will it take before we commit to effective action against climate change?

Furthermore, the science is clear: While individual hurricanes aren’t caused by climate change, global warming increases the length and

intensity of storms 2-11 percent, according to a recent review published

by NOAA. The same review predicted that rainfall associated with tropical storms will increase by 10-15 percent.

The need to accurately assess the human cost of climate change is why Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet has just introduced the Pollution Transparency Act to help ensure these costs are measured and reported accurately. The need for effective action is why the U.S. House of Representative’s bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus has just reached 60 members, including Colorado Rep. Mike Coffman. These are essential pieces of the climate change puzzle, but they are only the first steps.

We need a climate “insurance policy” before it’s too late. This is why the Citizens’ Climate Lobby supports the Carbon Fee and Dividend policy.

A national, revenue-neutral carbon fee-and-dividend system (CF&D) would place a predictable, steadily rising price on carbon, with all fees collected minus administrative costs returned to households as a monthly energy dividend. The economic consulting company REMI estimates that in 20 years, carbon fee-and-dividend will reduce CO2 emissions 52 percent below 1990 levels, create an economic stimulus that adds 2.8 million jobs to the economy, and prevent over 230,000 premature deaths.

It’s time to acknowledge the costs of climate change and do something about it.

Phone and Internet Discounts Available to CenturyLink Customers The Colorado Public Utilities Commission designated CenturyLink as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier within its service area for universal service purposes.

CenturyLink’s basic local service rates for residential voice lines are $21.00 per month and business services are $35.02 per month. Specific rates will be provided upon request.

CenturyLink participates in a government benefit program (Lifeline) to make residential telephone or broadband service more affordable to eligible low-income individuals and families. Eligible customers are those that meet eligibility standards as defined by the FCC and state commissions. Residents who live on federally recognized Tribal Lands may qualify for additional Tribal benefits if they participate in certain additional federal eligibility programs. The Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone or broadband service per household, which can be on either wireline or wireless service.

Broadband speeds must be 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload or faster to qualify.

Lifeline discounts include a transfer restriction (port freeze). This means that you are unable to obtain the Lifeline discount on service with another provider for a period of time. The length of time depends on the services you purchase – 60 days for voice telephone service, 12 months for qualifying broadband service. Certain exceptions to the transfer restrictions may apply. See http://www.lifelinesupport.org/ls/change-mycompany.aspx for more information.

A household is defined for the purposes of the Lifeline program as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses.

Lifeline service is not transferable, and only eligible consumers may enroll in the program.

Consumers who willfully make false statements in order to obtain Lifeline telephone or broadband service can be punished by fine or imprisonment and can be barred from the program.

If you live in a CenturyLink service area, please call 1-888-833-9522 or visit centurylink. com/lifeline with questions or to request an application for the Lifeline program.

Children go trick or treating at Wheat Ridge’s annual trunk or treat. This year’s event will be on Oct. 28 PHOTO COURTESY LOCALWORKS

Choices around area abound for a family-friendly Halloween Cities, libraries, high schools and more celebrate the most haunted night of the year

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It can be a bit nerve-wracking for parents to send their children out trick-or-treating when Halloween rolls around every year, with strangers around and visiting places they might not be familiar with.

But more and more cities, libraries and other organizations have stepped up over the years to provide a family-friendly experience that allows children to load up on candy, parents to keep an eye on them and hopefully have some fun themselves.

“We have businesses and families who come back year and year and get so creative,” said Ashley Holland, marketing and events coordinator with Wheat Ridge’s Localworks, which organizes the city’s Trunk or Treat event. “It’s a total community effort that brings everyone together to make something fun for everyone.”

There are a variety of options for a family searching for something to do. There are options like Wheat Ridge and Thornton, which offer trunk or treats — where people open up the trunks of their cars and decorate them — merchant trick-or-treat streets in cities like Arvada, Littleton and Golden, and community sponsored parties and trick-or-treat streets in cities like Highlands Ranch, Thornton and Castle Rock.

Trunk or treats are family friendly Halloween events where residents, businesses and nonprofits gather to decorate their cars for trick or treating.

PHOTO COURTESY LOCALWORKS

“We feel that it is important to offer safe, family friendly events during the year because Castle Rock is a cherished, sought-out and unique community,” said Heather Rossiter, special programs supervisor in the town’s parks and recreation department. “It’s safe, it’s family friendly. It’s where you know your neighbors.”

Castle Rock’s Spooktacular brings events for children like bounce houses, face-painting and games to the Miller Activity Complex, and from there, families can head over to the nearby amphitheater at Philip S. Miller Park for a harvest festival. The event features a pumpkin patch, hay bale maze, hay rides, mini-pumpkin SEE CHOICES, P19

ne of the fun things about binge-watching — aside from spending long stretches in a reclining position — is you get a lot of plot, character COMING development and acting range in a ATTRACTIONS compressed amount of time.

The trend, thanks to the advent of services like Netflix, Hulu and On Demand, has gathered steam over the past five years.

But as it turns out, Clarke Reader the idea isn’t that new. The theater world developed a similar approach — the repertory season — as far back as the early 1900s. In this case, the same ensemble company of actors, directors and designers put on all shows in a season.

At one time a common occurrence, repertory seasons are infrequent today.

However, the Arvada Center’s Black Box theater is bringing it back.

“For some reason, the rep approach has fallen out of fashion in arts organizations,” said Lynne Collins, artistic director of plays at the center. “But if you’re smart in building your ensemble, you have a company that supports each other throughout every show.”

The repertory approach allows audiences to see the same actors stretch themselves in very different plays.

“Audiences get to see different styles, lines and characters,” said Geoffrey Kent, actor and director in the company.

“There’s a through line in our shows this year about secrets and community that play out in different ways.”

The Arvada Center started its first of four rep shows for the 2017-2018 season with “The Foreigner,” which runs through Nov. 18.

“It really is a perfect comedy,” said Kent, the show’s director. “It’s an interesting time for a show about an immigrant, especially one who is really heroic.”

The remaining three shows, “Sense and Sensibility,” “The Electric Baby” and “All My Sons,” start in the winter and run through the spring.

“This is our second season taking the repertory approach,” Collins said, “and that’s given us confidence to have a bigger company this year, and get to a more true repertory experience.”

Rocky Mountain Weavers Guild show coming back to Englewood Sale items include wide variety of beautiful, unique goods

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When The Rocky Mountain Weavers Guild makes its annual autumnal visit to the Community Room at Englewood Civic Center on Oct. 26-28, the large, light, plain space just comes to life.

Guild members, who live across the metro area and in the mountains, work through the year to create lovely items for this beautiful show/sale.

Racks hold colorful scarves of silk, linen, wool, rayon, cotton and blends. They are woven, painted, dyed, etc., created with a variety of fiber techniques.

The visitor is compelled to stop and stroke them! And probably choose some for favorite relatives or friends of all ages, as well as for oneself.

Additional racks display woven, painted and quilted art-towear: jackets, shawls, vests and more.

Tables are covered with knitted and crocheted hats, gloves, purses, jewelry. Items for children are included. Fibers of all sorts appear, spun from wool, mohair, silk, alpaca and sometimes dog hair! Artists save brushings through the year and spin soft yarns to knit into small items.

On shelves at the back, one can find a display of really astonishing baskets — traditional and contemporary-sculptural. Some are meant to be used and others are purely decorative. Don’t miss them. Little Red Riding Hood’s basket they’re not!

A group of tables will hold smaller gift items: Christmas ornaments, hair ornaments, small cushy toys, booties and sweaters for tiny persons. Cast paper creations have joined the mix in recent years, as have richly textured felted items. And there are rugs and table runners, as well as napkins, place mats, dish towels, pillows and other soft things to grace a home.

There will be ongoing textile demonstrations by spinners and weavers and well-informed Guild members will be on hand to talk with a visitor about the techniques and required skills for mastering them. (Many of these members teach throughout the area, and Guild membership is open to prospective members.)

And, while you stroll, notice the one-of-a-kind garments some members are wearing!

painting, pumpkin carving and movies after sunset. There’s also local craft beer and food for the adults.

In Northglenn, the high school is transformed into a different theme every year — this year’s (the event’s 19th) theme is Beetlejuice, said Renae Lehr, public information officer with the Northglenn Police Department.

“It’s free and safe, which is great for everyone,” she added. “In previous years, more than 5,000 kids have received about 3,000 pounds of candy.”

Olde Town Arvada celebrates Halloween with its small businesses, who gift out candy to the children who come knocking. There’s also music and a costume contests with prizes.

“More than half of our business participate and give out candy,” said Samantha Geerdes, events manager with the Arvada Chamber. “Not only is the event safe for everyone, but it brings people in to see our businesses.

And maybe they stay after the event and have dinner.”

In Wheat Ridge, the trunk or treat at Stevens Elementary is a way for businesses, nonprofits and individuals to gather and decorate cars in a variety of themes, from scary to Disney and much more.

“We have a tent haunted house that people set up in the parking lot, with members of the Wheat Ridge High School marching band volunteering as scarers,” Holland said. “We have so many volunteers who work together.

My favorite part is not only seeing all the costumes the kids are in, but the car decorations that people do themselves.”

he hot apple cider flowed like water at the Littleton Museum’s Harvest Festival on Oct. 14, as families roamed the grounds of the living history farm, picking out pumpkins.

“We’ve got a multigenerational love affair with this place,” said Garrett Crawford, who brought both his 1-year-old son Magnus Crawford and his mom Kim Crawford. “It’s our escape from the big city.”

Visitors circled the festival on mule-drawn hayrides, while others tried their hand at pressing cider. The festival drew thousands of attendees and raised funds for the Friends of the Littleton Library and Museum.

“It does my heart good to see everyone so happy,” said the museum’s Curator of Collections Jenny Hankinson.

‘Love Letters’ gets loving treatment on Lone Tree stage Lifelong friendship explored in play

by A.R. Gurney

October 29, 2017

5K/10K RACE

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Love Letters,” A.R. Gurney’s intimate look at a lifelong friendship — back in the day when we actually wrote letters as a major means of communication — is Lone Tree Arts Center’s first theatrical production for the 2017-2018 season, opening Nov. 9, with direction by the widely experienced Bruce Sevy.

Last July, Sevy cast well-known Denver actors Candy Brown and Mark Rubald as Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. He said he had directed the work previously, but only in the way it’s frequently presented: with a different couple reading the words each night (sometimes not trained actors).

Both Brown and Rubald are wellsuited to their parts, Sevy said: Rubald’s father was a lawyer and his family somewhat like Gurney’s (and like Andrew’s), and Brown spent lots of time in New York and understands Melissa’s lifestyle.

Sevy is excited over the potential of this skillful pair playing the roles every night — with an actual set and stage lighting — instead of just a table and two chairs.

Rehearsals start on Halloween and opening night is Nov. 9 in the Lone Tree Arts Center’s Event Hall, a space that allows for an intimate set design and connection with the audience. (The hall was originally created with the former Lone Tree Theatre Company in mind, so it is designed to have lights and sound equipment installed as needed, although that company unfortunately discontinued before LTAC opened.)

Now “semi-retired,” Sevy started work with the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and Denver Center Theatre Company in 1983, serving as associate artistic director, casting director and director of new play development, as well as directing a number of productions there, including “All My Sons,” “Animal Crackers,” “A Little Night Music” and the world premiere of Jeffrey Hatcher’s “Pierre.” He speaks fondly of “lifelong friends” made at the DCPA. “I always wanted to be a director — even in grade school,” he said. He grew up in California’s Central Valley/Stockton/San Francisco/Santa Barbara, where he was active in high school theater and then educated at the Pacific Conservatory, followed by a staff position there after graduation. He next competed for admission to the American Conservatory in San Francisco and “apprenticed myself to the director.”

the next base of operations — “I flew a lot,” he recalls — and then a call came from Denver …

Impressed with the welcome experienced from Lone Tree’s staff (he had been acquainted with director Lisa Rigsby Peterson since her work at the Denver Center), he is looking forward to rehearsing onsite, “in this nice intimate space” (not often possible). “We can hang the lights” (early). But, he doesn’t “want to overproduce.”

“I am really enjoying the process,” he added.

The story traces correspondence between the properly reared children of East Coast upper crusts — where invitations and thank you notes were a given. They start with a first 7-year-old’s note from Andrew, who always loved writing letters, to the less-enthusiastic Melissa. While the pair never connects romantically, they remain lifelong friends and the audience tunes in along the way to two quite different lives — and ongoing mutual support and sympathy where appropriate.

Sevy commented that playwright A. R. Gurney, who wrote a number of his scripts based on his well-off family and growing up in Buffalo, played the Andrew role first, when it appeared in New York in 1989. (Gurney recently passed away.)

“He was a good writer,” Sevy observed.

members of city council who voted to fire Penny, two of whom — Peggy Cole and Doug Clark, who is running against Schlachter and Elrod for an at-large seat — are regular Sunshine meeting attendees.

The group then threw its weight behind supporting controversial urban renewal efforts, culminating in a city council vote last December that saw all but one of the city’s urban renewal districts disbanded.

“We wanted to make sure there’s another faction that’s being heard instead of the same old (message) from the vocal people of the past,” Williams said of Awake. “We don’t have to be bullied by the 10 people in the community who always get their way.

“They want it to be the way it was in the 1950s. You’re making me want to move back south to Highlands Ranch.”

Williams said she has never been to a Sunshine meeting, but suspects she wouldn’t like it.

Clark said Littleton, Awake! doesn’t loom large on his radar.

“I went to their website right after they were formed, but I haven’t been there since,” Clark said. “I occasionally get info from them but it’s not

much. I don’t really read their stuff.”

Several other regular attendees of Sunshine meetings were contacted but declined to comment on Awake or the new committee.

Williams said her involvement in the new groups is minimal and mostly involves posting on social media.

She said that Littleton, Awake! had decided to wind down its activities as it had largely run its course, and members saw supporting Schlachter and Elrod as a natural next step in their efforts to reform city government — thus the new campaign committee.

Awake’s most recent blog post was on June 16, and their most recent Facebook post was on Sept. 25, to announce a candidate meet-and-greet event with council candidates Elrod, Schlachter, and Patrick Driscoll.

Shlachter and Elrod both said they know nothing about the new committee, and both say they are not members of Awake.

“Littleton Awake looks like a group of people (I don’t know who is all involved), much like Sunshine, who want to discuss a variety of issues impacting Littleton,” Schlachter wrote in an email. “I have no idea what impact they have or will have going forward… I like their message and am glad to see a fresh voice from the community.”

Schlachter added that he wrote a blog post for Awake’s website last

Elrod said that while she knows Williams from the Littleton Leadership Academy, she does not know much about Awake or the Littleton Citizens committee.

“I follow Awake on Facebook, as a way of keeping a pulse on the community, issues and accolades the City Of Littleton is recognized for,” Elrod said in an email. “As an online and social media forum I’m glad they are sharing my upcoming events and meet and greet opportunities.”

The other person known to be involved with the Littleton Citizens committee is attorney Katie Kennedy, who is listed as the group’s designated filing agent. Kennedy’s company, Strategic Compliance LLC, provides campaign finance compliance services, and is listed as the registered agent for dozens of political groups statewide. Kennedy was previously the registered agent of Littleton Strong, which opposed Issue 300, a 2015 measure that mandated that urban renewal activities had to go before a popular vote. Issue 300, which passed by a wide margin, was championed by Sunshine-affiliated activist Carol Brzeczek, who is also challenging Elrod, Schlacter and Clark for an at-large council seat.

Kennedy did not respond to requests for comment.

New signature event for fall brings city together at Hampden Avenue

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The first-ever Englewood Block Party event closed down the 3400 block of South Broadway to round up locals and outsiders alike at an event filled with music, community vendors and even the NFL’s Sunday Night Football bus.

But the flair of the event was decidedly and intensely local — the Englewood Historic Preservation

Society sold posters and gave out hot chocolate, the Breakfast Queen stayed open and packed well into the evening and Mayor Joe Jefferson passed out Chinese food to attendees. Moe’s Original Bar B Que satisfied hungry customers at its food truck, and the city’s Parks and Recreation Department provided activities for kids.

Jeramie Quintana, a United States Postal Service worker of 10 years, enjoyed the Oct. 14 event with his family. Downtown Englewood is where he delivers mail, from Hampden Avenue to Yale Avenue on South Broadway and South Lincoln Street.

“I’ve been on the route for six years,” said Quintana, 31, who lives

Crowds lined up to get a look inside the bus, where signed footballs and other fanfare were on display.

Businesses on the block benefitted from the crowds, which didn’t start tapering off until sundown.

The crowds appeared mostly local, said Mark Woulf, an official with the Englewood city manager’s office.

The city planned the block party as a new signature event for Englewood.

“We’re happy, with the monumental planning effort that went into it,” Woulf said.

Mullen rallied to win the second set 25-16 but Arapahoe outscored the Mustangs in the next two sets 25-13 and 25-19 to win the match 3-1. Gwynne Haskins had 12 kills in the match, bringing her team-leading season total to 142.

alor Christian has been a success athletically since the school opened in 2007.

On the state championship level alone, the Eagles have won 23 championships with 14 runner-up finishes.

OVERTIME “At Valor we’re always looking at ways that we can do things better,” said athletic director Jamie Heiner. “That doesn’t mean how to win more games, that means how do we mentor our kids, how we ensure Jim Benton nobody slips through the cracks, how do we make sure that we are emphasizing spiritual growth and how do we run more efficient practices.

“Everyone knows that talent alone doesn’t win you competitions. We do get some pretty talented kids, but I don’t think we get the talent across the board that everybody assumes we do.”

For a while Valor played as an independent, as the anti-Valor wave gained strength and no leagues would accept the Eagles.

Approval is still pending, but Valor will move up to play in the 5A Jefferson County league for all sports except football in the next two-year cycle.

“That’s our pursuit. It hasn’t officially been passed by the Classification and League Organization Committee and that will be in early November,” said Heiner. “We’ve had great success at the 4A level for a few years.

“That will be a big change for us. We been able to move forward and develop those types of relationships. Through our coaches and administrative staffs, people are seeing who we really are.

We’re not perfect. We make mistakes.

It shows — those other schools are welcoming us into their leagues.”

Pomona’s athletic director, assistant principal and a dozen athletes visited and talked with Valor last spring and members of the Valor administration and athletes will head to Pomona next winter or spring.

In light of Valor’s achievements, football is the sport that has sparked some F resentment from other schools.

It seems the waterfall 5A football league alignments, which will end a V fruitless two-year cycle this season, n will be changed, adjusted, revamped or whatever you might want to call the fi- s nal proposal that the football committee t s will make to the Legislative Council.

So which league the Eagles will play I football in remains to be determined. t a w SEE BENTON, P29

State tennis title eludes Creek for first time in seven years Bruins finish as the runners-up to Fairview There is very little talk among coaches and players in the Cherry Creek tennis program about wins.

Still, senior Tyler Schoen realizes there is still some stress during state tournament time.

“It’s a little frustrating,” Schoen said.

“People at school always ask if we have won state yet. We make news when we lose.”

Schoen knows he will probably hear comments because Creek didn’t win the Class 5A state tournament for the first time in seven seasons.

The competitive three days of state tournament play ended Oct. 14 at the Gates Tennis Center and Fairview edged the Bruins and Regis Jesuit for the state championship.

Fairview, the state runner-up the past six falls to Creek, had 73 points, with the Bruins coming in second with 68 and Regis finishing third with 65 points.

“Second place isn’t really losing but for Creek it kind of is,” Schoen said. “We’re a team, we win as a team and lose as a team.”

In the past 47 seasons, there have now been only six times that the Bruins have not been crowned as state champions.

“It was a good tournament, with three teams within two points to start the final day,” Creek coach Art Quinn said. “I’m proud of Fairview — they did a good job and deserved it.”

Cherry Creek’s Zach Smith and Nick Svichar, the defending No. 4 doubles champions, won the No. 3 doubles title while Schoen and Devin Brownstein captured the No. 4 doubles championship.

George Cavo was the No. 3 singles runnerup and Ben Murray was third at No. 2 singles for Creek. Sam Angell and Drew Hill lost a close three-set title match at No. 1 doubles. Stone Heyman and Nick Eidler were second at No. 2 doubles.

Schoen and Brownstein were involved in the final match of the day against Regis Jesuit and needed to win in order to gain the three points needed for Creek to top Regis in the final team standings.

The Creek pair got stronger as the match wore on and earned a 6-7, 6-4, 6-0 victory over the Raiders’ Matthew Mahoney and James O’Connor.

“I had no idea what the win meant,”

FROM PAGE 24

One thing that is certain is the Valor will not play an independent national schedule as rumored.

“I’ve heard three or four different scenarios,” said Heiner. “We were in the Centennial before. It would make sense that we would go into Jeffco.

I’ve heard there are two scenarios that seem more likely where there are six teams in every league and we may end up in a league that has

STATE TENNIS: HOW THEY FINISHED

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

BENTON

On campus:

The following are scores of the top 19 teams in the Class 5A state tennis championships Oct.12-14 at the Gates Tennis Center in Denver.

1. Fairview 73 2. Cherry Creek 68 3. Regis Jesuit 65 4. Broomfield 22, Boulder 22 6. Chatfield 18 7. Ponderosa 14 8. Denver East 10 9. Mountain Range 9 10. Fossil Ridge 6 11. Grand Junction 4, Mountain Vista 4 13. Arapahoe 3, Rocky Mountain 3 15. Rock Canyon 2, Heritage 2 17. Ralston Valley 1, Fruita Monument 1, Poudre 1

• The football team, 1-6 overall, has three regular season games remaining against Boulder, Grandview and Smoky Hill. The Warriors have a combined 7-4 record against those teams, with the four losses coming against Grandview.

This season will be only the second record below .500 in the past eight seasons.

• Coach Mark Hampshire’s soccer team is tied for first place in the Centennial League and the final regular-season game was set to be played Oct. 17 against Overland. The Warriors went into that game unbeaten all-time against the Trailblazers (8-0-1).

• The volleyball team has won three of its past four games, with the loss coming on Oct. 5 against Grandview. The Warriors wrapped up the regular season Oct. 17 against the Wolves.

Cherry Creek

Cherry Creek’s Tyler Schoen returns a serve as his No. 4 doubles parter Devin Brownstein watches during the Oct. 14 championship match.

JIM BENTON said Schoen, who whistles between points.

“Whistling keeps me up and happy. It helps calm me down and I can focus.”

Senior Ryan Neale of Ponderosa played in the first completed match of the finals as it took him less than an hour to capture third place in No. 1 singles with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Javier Valenzuela of Mountain Range.

“I felt like I played a pretty solid, straightforward match,” Neale said. “I just played my game. I served well, that was the main thing.”

Neale lost in straight sets to eventual state champion Christian Holmes of Chatfield in the Oct. 13 semifinals.

“I’m a little hurt that I lost in the semis,” he said. “I wanted to make it to the finals.

I lost to Christian in the semis and he won the tournament. It makes the loss hurt a little less.”

Highlands Ranch schools in it.”

Stay tuned.

Old fashioned softball Coach Tom Dillingham’s Alameda softball team didn’t qualify for the regional tournaments and will not play in the Oct. 20-21 state tournament, which is too bad for fans wanting to watch old-fashioned-style softball.

The Pirates went 12-7 and finished third in the 4A/3A Colorado 7 League and played small ball with fake bunts, bunts, slap hits and plenty of stolen bases to manufacture runs.

• The field hockey team notched an impressive win with a 1-0 triumph over top-ranked Kent Denver on Oct. 11 as Amelia McCarthy’s goal gave the Bruins the upset win.

• When the football team beat Denver East, 56-28, on Oct. 12 it marked the 252nd career win for coach Dave Logan, which is a career state record for Class 5A. He passed former Creek coach Fred Tesone. Logan, who has coached at Arvada West, Chatfield, Mullen and Creek, is 252-62 and sixth on the all-time wins list. West Grand’s Chris Brown and Scott Yates of Kent Denver, both still active, are the all-time leaders with 321 victories.

• The softball team went into the Region 3 softball qualifying tournament with a sub .500 record of 9-10, but won the championship with wins over Broomfield and Horizon.

Englewood

• Junior running back/linebacker Ikaika Gonzalez-bentosino has been the leader for the football team, which headed into an Oct.

Alameda had 180 stolen bases, which will go down as a state record since standards only go back to 2009 and the previous high was 179 by Burlington in 2014.

“In softball, and it’s no different than baseball, people believe in hitting the long ball and driving the ball,” said Dillingham. “Because I’m an old-school guy I believe in using the skill set you have.

“For the past few years we’ve either had girls that were fast or quick. We used the short game to our advantage.

We bunted real well, we fake-bunted well and we slapped real well.

News and notes from local high school sports programs

20 game against Elizabeth with a 3-4 record. Gonzalezbentosino has 1,104 all purpose yards and has scored nine touchdowns. He has also made 19 tackles, which included two sacks on defense.

• Coach Erika James’ volleyball team has two of the 4A/3A Colorado 7 league leaders in senior Maryah Hoeft and sophomore Deveyn Hainey.

Hoeft is the league leader with 486 digs and Hainey is second with 135 kills.

Heritage

• The football team won its second straight game and second of the season on Oct. 13 against Gateway and has a chance to gain some revenge as it goes after its third consecutive win Oct. 19 against Dakota Ridge. Last season, the Eagles lost 24-14 to Dakota Ridge.

• Adam Buseck’s boys soccer team started the season losing seven of its first eight games but rebounded with a 3-1-2 record in seven games before the season finale, which was scheduled to be played Oct. 17 against ThunderRidge.

• The volleyball team will be out to end a seven-match losing skid on Oct. 19 against winless Regis Jesuit.

Littleton

• After sustaining its first loss of the season in a 1-0 setback to Valor Christian on Oct. 11, the soccer team maintained a half-game lead in the Jefferson County 4A league heading into the games scheduled for Oct. 16.

• The football team is 2-5 with three games remaining and needs to win all three contests to match the 5-5 mark of 2014, which was the best record in the past eight seasons.

• Addi Iken will represent Littleton at the Oct. 28 state cross country meet after she was the runner-up at the Jefferson County 4A meet on Oct. 12 with a time of 19:00.

“There’s no team in our league that we didn’t run against. We were, as a team, gap hitters and single hitters. It’s not rocket science that you score easier from second base and third base than first base.

We fake-bunt and run. We bunt and run, slap and run. We steal third a lot too.”
