City names new police chief Douglas Stephens has headed gang bureau for Denver department By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com A captain with the Denver Police Department is heading to Littleton to become the new police chief.
Douglas Stephens, who had the unanimous support of interview panels, is eager to begin his new job. “The Littleton Police Department has a reputation as being one of the best in Colorado,” Stephens said in a written statement. “I am excited at the opportunity to lead this exemplary group of professionals. I can’t wait to get started.” Stephens will lead a department that’s faced some internal struggles in recent years, and there is much hope he will be
a unifying force. The Littleton Police Officers Association endorsed him last week, and the membership is “extremely pleased” with the announcement, said its president. “We believe his experience and knowledge and understanding of what true leadership is will hopefully bring what some of our members believe is a divided department together again,” Officer Steve Keliiholokai, president of LPOA, wrote in an email. “I believe Doug Stephens will work

home values show decline in arapahoe Assessor notes that figures aren’t tied to current sales By Jennifer Smith

Heritage High School students honored one of their own April 18 in an unconventional but creative event that included marshmallows, dancing teachers, head shaving, jet packs, vampires, soldiers and tennis balls. Lots and lots of tennis balls. It was the Lone Survivor Obstacle Course, part of the school’s always successful MAD Week. “MAD” stands for “Make a Difference,” and they’ve definitely done that. “Few schools in America can boast of the kind of philanthropic global engagement that MAD Week has become for HHS,” said Shelley Youngkin, student chair of community relations. She said the Heritage community has
“The recovery has not happened yet in Arapahoe County.” That’s the news Corbin Sakdol, Arapahoe County assessor, gave officials from throughout the 348 taxing entities in the county on April 18. Having just finished reassessing property values, he has a pretty good handle on the situation. Although sales are up in most places, values of the 150,000 single-family homes in the county are generally down but with a few bright spots. Centennial and Greenwood Village are up. Aurora, Sheridan and Englewood are down, and Littleton is Sakdol split. “Ridge Road is still quite the dividing line,” he said. Homes south of Ridge Road are mostly maintaining or climbing, while the north isn’t in such great shape. Sakdol says condominium values are way down across the board, but office buildings and commercial properties are up. Foreclosures are down from the peak in 2008. “It’s happening, but it’s not near as bad,” he said. “Things are much better, but they’re still not good.” One reason there’s discrepancy between rising sales and falling values is that Colorado law requires Sakdol to use 2-year-old sales data to determine current taxable value. The tax bill property owners will be getting in the mail starting May 1 reflects sales that occurred between July 1, 2010, and June 30, 2012. So as home prices started crashing during the housing bubble of August 2008, property taxes reflected July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Conversely, as sales are now beginning to increase, taxable values remain low. Those 348 taxing entities can signifi

Trustees approve Willowcroft plan Patio homes will rise despite protests By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Rachel Parris of Colorado Preservation Inc. literally sobbed as she pleaded with the Columbine Valley Board of Trustees to save the Willowcroft residence. “I can think of no better way to welcome people into your community than having this manor still standing to show people what was here before this happened,” she said through tears at the board’s April 16 meeting. CPI put the home on its list of most endangered places in 2010, right alongside the state Capitol dome. Historic Littleton Inc. had gotten it listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Places in 1993. Despite Parris’ protests and those of about a dozen residents, the board voted 6-1 to let the developer demolish the manor to make way for 41 single-story patio homes and one large estate home. Mayor Gale Christy was sympathetic, however, saying
he wished they’d heard from Parris sooner. “But one step led to another, and we’re at the point we’re at now,” he said. The property does indeed have a storied past. It was originally the home of Joseph Bowles, one of Littleton’s most prominent settlers. The main house was built in 1884 and designed by Robert Roeschlaub, also known for the Central City Opera House. At one time, Bowles had accumulated about 2,000 acres in the area. According to the Littleton Museum’s history website, he and his neighbors were opposed to paying Littleton taxes and voted in 1889 to incorporate as the separate town of Wynetka, which lasted just about two years. Bowles was elected Arapahoe County commissioner in 1869 and again in 1874 and was sent to the state legislature in 1880. He was the director of Denver’s City National Bank and the executive commissioner of the first state grange. He was one of the founders of the Rough and Ready Mill, now the Old Mill Brewery, and a charter member of the Weston Masonic Lodge. He was one of the first directors of the Littleton Cemetery Association, where he is buried.
Most of the neighbors who came out to protest April 16 aren’t concerned about the historic value of the property so much as things like density and traffic. Several spoke about maintaining the open feeling of the community, which generally limits development to 2.4 units per acre. The project at Willowcroft is 2.95; two adjacent neighborhoods have more than 3. The planning board last week recommended approval of the project on the condition only 34 units are built, but staff disagreed. Developer Garrett Baum noted there’s demand for patio homes targeted at seniors, as these will be. “This type of product doesn’t warrant or require larger lots,” he said. “If we’re not able to do 42 lots, we have to go to a larger product, and it’s going to be a two-story product. And that’s not a threat, that’s the truth.” “Demand does not justify density,” countered resident Brian MacAuley. Jim Newland, the only trustee to vote nay, agreed. “To me the plan makes sense,” he said. “But I am grappling more with the 41
homes. Why wouldn’t you go with the recommendation of the planning and zoning board?” Staff solved another sticking point by removing a 50-foot right of way around an emergency access that could have allowed it to become a full-access road at some point, which the neighbors are very opposed to. They turned it into a pathway that will allow for passage of nothing wider than a golf cart and double as a driveway for the large home. Trustee Mark Best said the project will be good for the town in the long run. It includes beautification of the Middlefield Road entrance to the community from Bowles Avenue, complete with monument stone and landscaping, and a dedication of land that could be used to widen Bowles in the future. “I think what we’re going to do is attract some very nice people into this community,” he said. The final plan, which will include some minor modifications and last-minute details, will be heard by planning in May and by the trustees in June.

Along with Scott Murphy, Littleton superintendent of schools, and Eric Flor, assistant superintendent for Cherry Creek Schools, Fagen offered an overview of how schools hope to engage business and industry as future partners. Strong partnerships between schools and business innovators may be the key to developing a winning curriculum — a curriculum that’s rich in technology, collaboration, creativity and shared economic success. “It’s not about bricks and mortar,” said Flor. “It’s about what experiences are children getting — starting in kindergarten

She sees a strong connection between academia and the coming economy. Schools are now looking to the business community and asking it to help define what the future workforce should look like. So, what it is kids need to know to be successful in their lifetime? “We can’t even predict all the jobs that will exist when they graduate, but we can predict the kind of skills they’ll need to be successful, no matter what those jobs are,” said Fagen.

And the Douglas County School District has been reaching out to some of the biggest names on the planet. “Nike, for example, wants people who ‘obliterate’ boundaries, are risktakers, are smart, passionate curious people, rebels, original thinking,” Fagen said. “So just as the industrial revolution paid attention to what it was the assembly-line mode needed, we want to pay attention to what our business partners want in our students.” “We have a vested interest in education with relationship to the business community,” D’Ambrosia said. “It’s one of the driving forces for bringing jobs here to the south metro Denver area.”

Although Mother Nature seems to disagree, it’s time to think about spring cleaning. In Littleton, that means a lot of things — from cleaning out closets and medicine cabinets to garages to gardens — and April 27 is the day to get it all done. First up, head to the War Memorial Rose Garden, 5804 S. Bemis St., for a free workshop on how to clean up your rose garden by pruning properly. Take a sharp pair of bypass pruning shears and leather gloves. Register by contacting Larry Hurd at 303-721-8478 or larryh@sspr.org. The class, hosted by South Suburban Parks and Recreation, is from 8 a.m. to noon. That leaves plenty of time for the next task: getting unused or expired prescription drugs out the house. How? Do not throw them away or flush them. Instead, take them to the Littleton Center, 2255 W. Berry Ave. between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Last year, National Drug Take Back Day collected 244 tons of drugs at 5,263 locations. The event is designed to keep harmful drugs not only out of local waterways, but also out of the hands of potential abusers. According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, 70 percent of people abusing prescription pain relievers get them through friends or relatives. After that, head to the Epic Spring Cleaning Event, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Home Depot, 3000 W. Belleview Ave., or AutoLab, 4000 S. Broadway. The event benefits Arc Thrift Stores and InterFaith Task Force, both nonprofits. Drop off anything you’re not using — gently used clothing, household items and furniture, small electronics, food and toiletries, for example. Donors get a tax receipt and coupons from Home Depot and AutoLab. No paint, motor oil or chemicals. For more information, call Ethan Raczka at 720-8792416.

Firehouse parrot bound for better lifeS The Pirates of Broadway mascot flies into retirement

By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Sam bites, babbles, cries at bedtime, knows a few choice words, creates a constant mess, occasionally tries to escape and once caused a serious wardrobe malfunction, but her BFF loves her and is sad to see her go. “But I think that she’ll like having bird friends,” said Kari Buckingham, the Littleton firefighter who was Sam’s best friend. Sam is the Mexican red-headed Amazon parrot that’s had the longest shift ever at Station 12. But after 20 years on the job, Sam packed up her cage, hopped a Delta flight out of Denver International Airport and retired to a birdie retreat in Washington. “She deserves to fly. She’s a bird,” said firefighter Dan Arkin. “She is kind of like our amusement, but really she’s a bird. It makes me feel good about her going.” Having a parrot was never really in the plans for Station 12, even though the firefighters there are known as The Pirates of Broadway. But when one of their regular customers succumbed to diabetes, his family offered them his pet as a mascot and friend. She’s delighted scores of visitors since then, particularly children visiting on field trips. “I think the kids are going to miss her the most,” said Buckingham. Sam fit right in at Station 12 — she even already knew how to “stop, drop and roll.” Her previous owner used to forget food on the stove on a fairly regular basis, filling up the home with smoke.

She herself has been that special someone since 2002, when Sam’s first true love, Gary Metz, retired. Lots of firefighters pitched in to buy Sam’s airplane ticket, and Buckingham said some of the proceeds would be donated to her new home.

Sundays on the Streets adds eats Food trucks to rally at Centennial outdoor market
IF YOU GO
By Deborah Grigsby
dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Local hipsters and foodies, rejoice. Sundays on the Streets, Centennial’s yearly outdoor art market known for its eclectic taste in all things artsy, now hopes to be known for all things tasty, too. Along with its new location at Cherry Knolls Shopping Center, directly across the street from The Streets at SouthGlenn, event promoter Robin Loughran says this year’s market will include an army of food trucks. Yes, food trucks. No longer the last bastion for sandwiches at construction sites, Loughran said food trucks have morphed into trendy mobile catering options offering a smorgasbord of different cuisines. “It’s a perfect combination for us this year,” she said.
Local event promoter Robin Loughran is promising the city’s largest rally of trendy food trucks each month at Sunday on the Streets, Centennial’s annual outdoor market, which begins May 12. Food trucks, like Denver-based Solar Coffee, pictured here, have become popular among hipsters and foodies. Photo by Deborah Grigsby “They’ve long been a hit downtown and we hope to have the largest collection of gourmet food trucks in the city at Sundays on the Streets and we’ve already got five trucks confirmed.” A summertime staple at The Streets at SouthGlenn, Loughran also said the market’s decision move to Cherry Knolls was based on the need for more space and options for vendors. “We’ve got a little more room to spread out, and
while vendor tents are encouraged, they are not required,” she said. “We will also have more flexibility when it comes to parking and setup.” Sundays on the Streets features the wares of local artisans, photographers and other crafty folk. “There’s jewelry, handbags, designer accessories, baked goods and this year, we’ve added antiques,” said Loughran. The market is held
Sundays on the Streets, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine • May 12 • Aug. 11 • June 9 • Sept. 8 • July 14 • Oct. 13 New location — Cherry Knolls Shopping Center University Boulevard and Arapahoe Road (Directly across from the Streets at SouthGlenn) For more information and vendor applications, contact Robin Laughran at 720-985-8580 monthly on the second Sunday, beginning on Mother’s Day, May 12. Market hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Loughran said interested vendors, artisans, musicians and food trucks should contact her directly for an application. While space is still available, she expects to be sold out soon. “Centennial is my home, too,” she said. “ And Sundays on the Streets is just one way to celebrate the people of this wonderful community and in which we live.”

laws. His position that law-enforcement officers don’t write the law but swear an oath to uphold it was taken by some to mean he was soft on the Second Amendment. “Public safety professionals serving in the executive branch do not have the constitutional authority, responsibility and, in Robinson most cases, the credentials to determine the constitutionality of any issue,” Robinson wrote. If law-enforcement officers stopped enforcing laws they don’t like, it could set a
dangerous precedent if juries followed suit, he said. “Rhetoric can impact the criminal-justice system,” he said. Robinson will address what he feels are problems with the new laws through lobbying and legal means, and he announced April 22 that he will sign on to a lawsuit initiated by a group of sheriffs to get the laws overturned. He also plans to help write a bill for next year that would clarify the new laws. “To a degree, I support background checks for private sales,” he said, but he believes the new Colorado law goes too far by requiring them for transfers among family members. As far as the ban on high-capacity maga-
zines, he thinks it will be impossible to enforce. “No one goes to jail unless you get to probable cause,” he said. Robinson addressed what he feels are real problems: mental-health issues, gang violence and street-crime violence. “I think we’re doing something really wrong,” he said. “We’re not dealing with the issues we can make a difference about.” He adds violent media to the list, as well, saying it desensitizes kids and blunts the consequences of violence. “They simply go back and hit the reset button and start all over again,” he said. “But the First Amendment applies to everyone, even those worshipping the almighty dollar to put forth death and destruction.”
Year’s last gun-control Firefighter labor bill heads back to Senate measure passes House House amendments ‘What are we afraid of here? Are we afraid
Republicans oppose bill focused on or a hey’ll those who commit her- domestic violence

buy ham The final pieces of the Demdo- ocrat-sponsored gun-control taker package passed the House on n the April 22. who’d Senate Bill 197, which ree has stricts domestic-violence offenders from having access to firearms, passed on a 36-28 vote. Democratic Rep. Ed Vigil of Fort Garland joined all Republicans in voting against the legislation. Conti Federal law already prohibits domestic abusers already from having access to guns. The bill puts in place a system by which the state courts ensure that the offenders — who either are convicted of domestic violence or who have been served a restraining order — relinquish their weapons. The bill received some debate on the House floor prior to a preliminary vote on April 20. However, it wasn’t nearly the type of emotional scene that has surrounded this and other gun bills during the legislative session. The bill did not receive debate before the final vote on April 22.
The bill must go back to the Senate for another vote, because of a minor amendment that was added in the House. Senate Bill 197 is sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Evie Hudak of Westminster, and in the House by Reps. Beth McCann of Denver and Rhonda Fields of Aurora. The only gun bill to receive any Republican votes this session is Senate Bill 195, which by far has been the least controversial and least debated bill of the firearms-related pieces of legislation. The bill, which requires there be at least some in-person training for gun permit seekers, passed the House with no debate on April 22, following a 4024 vote. Republican Reps. Cheri Gerou of Evergreen, Bob Gardner of Colorado Springs and Kathleen Conti of Littleton voted for the bill. Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, was excused from taking part in the votes. Sen. Lois Tochtrop of Thornton and Rep. Jenise May of Aurora were the sponsors of Senate Bill 195. The bill now heads to Gov. John Hickenlooper, who is expected to sign the legislation. Hickenlooper already has put his signature on three other pieces of gun-control legislation this session: Bills that would create universal background checks on gun sales, would require people to pay for their own background checks, and would put in place limits on ammunition magazines.
may not be enough to avoid veto By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A bill that seeks to expand labor rights for firefighters has passed the Colorado House, and has headed back to the Senate — where it passed earlier — for approval of amendments. But the ultimate question is whether the amendments will be enough to please Gov. John Hickenlooper, who threatened to veto the bill earlier this session. Senate Bill 25 passed the House on April 19, following a party-line vote of 35-28. Democratic Rep. Claire Levy of Boulder joined all Republicans in opposing the bill. The current version of the bill — which was amended after Hickenlooper expressed concerns in February — would allow firefighters across the state to be able to have discussions on job safety issues, regardless of whether municipalities prohibit collective bargaining. That’s a change from the original bill that passed the Senate earlier this legislative session, which would have guaranteed bargaining rights on compensatory matters, such as salary. The bill also requires any county or municipality to put labor rights issues on the ballot, so long as an employee group receives approval from 75 percent of its workers to form a union that seeks collective bargaining rights on matters such as salary.
of the professionals we hire to come and have a chance to say what it is they think will make their job better?’ Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster The bill’s sponsors argue that the legislation does not mandate collective bargaining. They say the bill prohibits strikes and provides a ballot process for local control. Republicans argue that the bill usurps the authority of local governments to make bargaining rights decisions on their own. “It’s an overreach of power,” said Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton. “If you’re a city out there and you have a moratorium against collective bargaining, guess what? You won’t after this bill passes.” Rep. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction, said the bill is “designed to promote unions.” “This is not a public safety bill. This is a union bill. Plain and simple,” Scott said. But Democrats say the bill does not take away local control, and that voters in those areas simply will have a chance to determine what is best for their communities. And they argue that firefighters should be able to negotiate matters pertaining to their own safety. “What are we afraid of here?” said Rep. Cherylin Peniston, DWestminster.
“Are we afraid of the professionals we hire to come and have a chance to say what it is they think will make their jobs better?” The bill also allows firefighters to participate more openly in the political process, which are either limited or prohibited by some municipalities. “Off duty and out of uniform, they are denied the right to participate in the political process,” said Rep. Dominick Moreno, DCommerce City. “You can’t even put a yard sign in your front yard for your favorite candidate. That’s not fair.” Democratic Sen. Lois Tochtrop of Thornton, the bill’s Senate sponsor, told Colorado Community Media that she doesn’t know whether Hickenlooper will sign her bill. But she believes that the current version is a good piece of legislation. “There’s been a lot of negotiations going on and we think this is one that will suit many people’s needs,” she said. “This bill concerns safety and this is going to go a long way to helping firefighters, so that they have a place at the table when it comes to safety issues.”

opinions / yours and ours
Keep jobs at home, businesses at ease The Keep Jobs in Colorado Act appears to have considerable support as it passed the House Monday at the Statehouse. We appreciate suggested improvements touted by the act, House Bill 1292, co-sponsored by state Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, but give pause to some of its measures long-term. We agree with Kerr that changes are needed in penalties for companies that do not meet a threshold of requiring 80 percent of all taxpayer-backed state project labor be conducted by Colorado workers. Kerr noted the 80 percent requirement has been on the books since 1933 but a jail penalty for non-complying company owners has not been enforced. We agree virtually every law should have teeth, so it makes sense to amend the law by replacing jail time with civil fees for violations and retooling the compliance process. The Keep Jobs in Colorado Act also aims
our view
to: • Clamp down on outsourcing of jobs overseas in state contracts with beefed up disclosures on state contractors who use second-party vendors; • Provide stricter enforcement of out-ofstate bid preferences to make sure Colorado companies have all legal advantages available; • Expand the so-called “best value” metrics related to in-state employment and domestically produced materials for contracts that are not co-mingled with federal funds;
question of the week
What are you looking forward to this summer? With Memorial Day only a month away, we asked people at a Highlands Ranch coffee
shop what they are looking forward to the most this summer.
“Selling houses, helping people meet their fitness goals, warmer weather. This (cold weather) is ridiculous.” — Leslie Rogers Peckham, Highlands Ranch
“Having cookouts at the park. And the warmer weather.” — Becky Nazzaro, Lone Tree
“Getting outside to do a lot of my workouts. I run the steps at Red Rocks a lot and I love it. I’m also looking forward to opening my pool.” — Brian Peters, Highlands Ranch
“Swimming in Brian Peters’ pool. And outdoor volleyball. I love everything about summer. I travel a lot, so whenever I come back to Colorado I just feel the air and say ‘aaahhh.’“ — Brian Richter, Highlands Ranch
Wanting to watch a train wreck If Madame Defarge were living in the southwest United States today, where would she be and what would she be doing? Be specific. I want the name of the city and the building, and exactly what she was doing with her hands. Here is a big hint: The last time we saw Madame Defarge she was a tricoteuse. That practically gives it away. Think it over. Some of us like to polka. Some of us like to bowl, shop for shoes, or breed cockatiels. And some of us like to knit. Madame Defarge liked to knit. There’s the giveaway. Madame Defarge would be knitting in the Maricopa County Superior Court Building in Phoenix, and attending the death penalty trial in the case of Arizona vs. Jodi Arias. Defarge was considered the main villain of Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities.” As a tricoteuse, or knitting woman, she secretly encoded the names of people to be killed during the French Revolution. I thought of Defarge when I heard that a woman drove six hours just to see the trial. Why? To see a melodrama in person? To be on television? Or maybe to see someone sentenced to death? I can understand why someone might have a peripheral interest in a case like this one, or the Trials of the Century that have preceded it. Leopold and Loeb. Bruno Hauptmann. The Rosenbergs. O.J. And more recently, Casey Anthony. I catch up on these cases, but not hour after hour. There’s a channel that is covering the Arias trial all day long. One Arias juror was dismissed, and she came back to sit in the courtroom. The Hauptmann trial was a pip. A circus, really. Hauptmann was accused, convicted, and executed for kidnapping and murdering Charles Lindbergh’s 20-monthold son. People mobbed the courtroom. Some climbed in through windows. Maybe none of us wants to be in a train wreck, but apparently a lot of us want to see one. I don’t get it. And if I had to
listen to the prosecuting attorney in the Arias case for more than a minute or two at a time, I think I might want to get into Thelma and Louise’s back seat just before they went to the worm restaurant. The closing defense argument in the case of Leopold and Loeb might have been worth hearing in person. Clarence Darrow said, about Loeb, “This terrible crime was inherent in his organism, and it came from some ancestor. Is any blame attached because somebody took Nietzsche’s philosophy seriously and fashioned his life upon it? It is hardly fair to hang a 19-year-old boy for the philosophy that was taught him at the university.” I am sure that Darrow had a rough idea beforehand what he was going to say, but I doubt that he read that from a script. To be able to speak with such clarity on the spot would have made a big impression upon me. It worked on the judge too. He spared the lives of Leopold and Loeb. The case from start to finish makes the Arias trial look like an afternoon soap. Sooner or later we all get called to jury duty. I was. There was a very well-made video we had to watch first, that tried to soften the major life interruption we were about to experience. I am guessing that some people would pay to sit on a death penalty case jury. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

• Create a central tracking system for state projects — in practice tracking the most costly materials in public works projects, such as items made from iron, steel and related manufactured goods. In light of these values, we recognize the arguments of some Republicans and others that it can be a difficult process ensuring that projects involve Coloradobased materials. In one of our stories earlier this month, Rep. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction, stated flatly there is “no way in this free market system that everyone is going to be truthful.” Sad but true. Further we acknowledge it is highly problematic for contractors to know and document the sources of all materials. As for tracking payroll, that is not as much of a challenge, but more paperwork means increasing staff time and cost for contractors.
Overall, the act’s key measures can in some ways strengthen the state in the current challenging economic climate. The measures match the times, although it’s surely dicey work because making laws to regulate business — whether it’s incentives or tariffs or common taxes, and so on — will always be complicated and questionable to free market purists. For now, we support the general ideas, but long-term, we harbor reservations because the effort to stay local and secure jobs works against the pressing global marketplace and its competitive realities of comparative advantage — when one country can produce products or provide labor more efficiently than another. Given that the state employment rate decreased from about 8.2 percent a year ago to 7.1 percent last month, we’d like to see Colorado in a trend to entertain fewer laws that mean increased government protocols and processes for business.
Hospitals are grounds for hope Over the past 17-plus years I have either been treated personally at local hospitals or have had family members and friends end up in the clinic, emergency room or hospital. And, over these past 17 years, I have talked to members of our community and many of you about our experiences at the different hospitals. Many of you have even sent me an email over the past few years sharing your experiences. Based on my experiences with family and friends and all of the unsolicited feedback I have received, I am happy to report that the teams at our local hospitals are doing an incredible job in caring for patients. We have been truly blessed with some of the most talented, caring, and compassionate doctors, nurses, technicians and support staff in health care. Even the volunteers at our hospitals seem to go out of their way to make sure patients and family are taken care of. Having had to deal with a very significant health-care issue in my life recently, unfortunately I have found myself spending more and more time in hospitals, doctor’s offices and clinics as the primary caregiver for my wife. I am reminded each day and during each visit just how hard our health-care professionals work and how their amazing gifts of caring and compassion are tested multiple times per day. As I watch everyone from the EMTs bringing patients in, or the staff caring for the patient, I am in awe of their sincerity, love and technical ability. Conversely, just as in any service-oriented business, I see the patients or family members of the patients become disruptive, abusive, belligerent and impatient as they bark out demands and treat their potential caregivers with complete disregard
The Independent
for the genuine effort of care being given. These same patients and family members do not understand how others observe their behavior and how damaging it is for the health and well-being of the patients who are there to get better. Not to mention how it impacts the morale of the clinic, the staff, or the other patients and families. If we are to have hope for health care, I would ask that instead of pointing the finger of blame at how “broken” health care is, that we begin by building a winning and positive relationship with the people who are immediately in front of us, our nurses, doctors, technicians and support staff. Kudos to these hospitals for being such a great place for all of those who find themselves needing care. They are wonderful institutions with amazing patients and families from our community and incredible staff and leadership, working together and providing hope for healthcare. I know some will have their stories of success and others will share their challenges, I would love to hear both at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we work collectively with our health-care providers it is always a better than good week.

Bill to OK benefits during e lockouts moves forward
n cure ’s s to tives By Vic Vela vvela@ourcoloradonews.com — onUnemployment benefits for workers who are locked out from their jobs during as, labor disputes would be expanded, under a ure bill that is moving through the Legislature. House Bill 1304 allows workers the ability to collect jobless benefits when they es are involved in e “dede so-called fensive” lockte outs — where companies lock ar to out employees wer who are part of Report a union that is already striking against another business entity in the same industry. The last time a defensive lockout occurred was in 1996, when Safeway workers were locked out after their union decided to strike against King Soopers. Unemployment benefits already are available to workers who are involved in an “offensive” lockout, a tactic that can be used by a company to gain leverage against a union when contract negotiations break down.

toed similar legislation in 2009. The bill passed the Democrat-controlled House on April 22 on a party-line vote of 3727, with one Republican member excused. Democratic Rep. Dominick Moreno of Commerce City, the bill’s sponsor, argued during a recent debate on the House floor that companies are the ones making the decision to lock out their employees, and that it’s only fair that their workers receive security when they’re not allowed to come to work. “What we’re saying is if you lock out your workers, if it’s not the fault of your employees, than they’re entitled to unemployment benefits,” Moreno said. Democrats also argued that Colorado is behind the rest of the nation on this issue, saying that 38 other states allow unemployment benefits for locked-out workers. But Republicans argue that by allowing workers in these situations to receive jobless benefits, labor unions would have the upper hand in negotiations. Rep. Spencer Swalm, R-Centennial, said the bill “would create another burden” for the state’s Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund. He also said that the bill adversely affects businesses that must pay into that fund. “This is just another example of overreach that puts a target on businesses, when we should be encouraging business growth,” Swalm said. The bill now heads to the Senate.

Littleton man helps Judi’s House
Office Liquidators, founded by Littleton resident Dennis Meyer, recently donated 16 love seats to Judi’s House, a nonprofit founded by former Denver Broncos quarterback Brian Griese, in celebration of its 10-year anniversary. Judi’s House provides a professional setting in which children and their parents can come to terms with the grief they are experiencing as the result of the loss of a loved one.

LI3 inspires immigration bill
An immigration bill introduced by U.S.
Sen. Michael Bennet and seven other senators last week draws on principles of the Littleton Immigrant Integration Initiative to create an Office of New Americans, to help immigrants learn English and American civics and integrate into their communities. The Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 would include a path to citizenship for the 11 million people living in the country without documentation. It would increase the number of visas available for workers specializing in high-tech industries and would create a guest worker program for lesser-skilled workers to come into the country to meet labor demands in industries such as tourism and hospitality. The bill would provide $3 billion to implement a border strategy and $1.5 billion to implement a fencing strategy.

raised more than $115,000 since 2006. They helped a young girl through Make-A-Wish and built an addition to a school for India’s “untouchables.” Over the last five years, they’ve actually constructed an entire school, Heritage High School of Kabala in Sierra Leone, Africa. This year they chose to honor Danny Dietz, a Navy SEAL who graduated from Heritage in 1999. Dietz died on a mountain in Afghanistan in 2005, in a hail of enemy fire. The students are hoping to raise $13,000 for two nonprofits with ties to Dietz: The Danny Dietz Leadership and Training Foundation is run by Danny Dietz Sr. at Littleton’s YMCA, and the Lone Survivor Foundation is run by Marcus Luttrell, the only survivor of the attack. Dietz Sr. said he’s glad a new generation is hearing his son’s story. “Getting the message to kids and having them work for something like this, I think, is a step forward for our country,” he said. The obstacle course was student Nate Novotny’s idea, in keeping with the military theme. They even invited people now in the military to judge the contest. “Heritage students are the best,” said Todd Ellis, U.S. Navy. “We have Heritage High School grads out in the fleet right now, serving this country and seeing the world.” Teacher Justin Riffle kicked things of by letting the students choose his new hairstyle - mohawk, mullet or poof.

Then teachers Brittmarie Solis and Amanda Glerup fired up the crowd, showing off their Timberlake moves to the beat of “Bye, Bye, Bye.” “Nothing like public humiliation for your teachers,” noted Allison Smith, MAD Week’s teacher adviser. For the main event, one faculty team joined 16 creatively dressed student teams to build marshmallow towers, fling tennis balls and all manner of unorthodox teambuilding challenges. “It was more challenging than I thought,” said Gus Nemechek, whose team dressed in half shirts, short shorts and sweatbands reminiscent of the early ‘80s. “You use your head way more than your body,” agreed Matthew Buszkiewic. One team dressed as vampires, and the P.Orbitals tye-dyed team sported jet packs made out of soda bottles. The “Fast, Faster, Fastest and Ben” team competed against the “Armed Bears” and the “Staph Neto Ifcins” (hint: it’s an anagram). Smith couldn’t contain her pride in all the students who competed or just came out to watch. “I think that when I became a teacher, I knew I wanted to teach high-school kids about literature,” said Allison Smith. “But I wasn’t expecting to learn so much about myself from them.”

well with our city manager, Michael Penny. “Michael Penny has an open-door policy, and several of our members have taken the opportunity to meet and discuss their concerns with him. His decision to select Doug Stephens is exactly what we were hoping for.” Although more than 40 people interviewed the five finalists, the final choice was Penny’s. “He understands that I am looking for a human-focused leader who knows law enforcement and has the skills to meet the community’s needs,” Penny wrote in a statement. “I want Doug to move the department forward by bringing everyone together as a cohesive unit.” Stephens replaces Heather Coogan, who announced her retirement Jan. 18, after two years of some internal turmoil and just months after a survey of city employees showed the police department was less satisfied with its direct supervision and senior leadership than other departments.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in administration of justice/psychology from the University of Wyoming and his master’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Colorado-Denver.

for residential. (Keep that in mind when considering converting a cute bungalow to a charming coffee shop, he notes.) The Gallagher Amendment intended to maintain a 55/45 split between commercial and residential property taxes, so it ratcheted down what homeowners were paying as the economy worsened. However, TABOR says it can’t go back up without a vote of the people, so it remains skewed. Sakdol reminds property owners they only have until the end of May to appeal their tax bill, and urges them not to pay anybody to do it for them. “We’re really easy to get along with,” he said. “Come and talk to us for free.”

‘Duck’ stars grace Rock
Emmy Award-winning composer Charles Denler, of Highlands Ranch, recently completed the recording for “Portraits of Colorado, An American Symphony No. 1,” the first in a series of planned symphonies. The 10-movement symphony will be performed with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and Chorus May 31 at Boettcher Concert Hall in downtown Denver. Photo by Ryan Boldrey
Portraits of Colorado come to life Emmy Award-winning composer pens symphony By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com In this area, the April 1999 Columbine tragedy is remembered every year at this time. For Highlands Ranch resident and Emmy-award winning composer Charles Denler, Columbine also finds its way into his latest work, “Portraits of Colorado, An American Symphony No. 1.” Denler, whose own brother was killed when he was 17, has always felt a connection to incidents like Columbine, and in the ninth movement, “The Columbine Tribute,” he combines the poetry of the state flower with the shootings that shook the state. “If you watch a sunrise in the morning you can see the flowers face east, and then throughout the day, they track the sun and turn to face west,” Denler said. “Every morning they know that the sun is going to come up in the east. It doesn’t matter how hard the night was. It gives a sense of new beginning and hope. “The movement obviously pays homage to the victims and the families, but it is not meant to be as much of a memorial as it is a
hope for a better future.” Denler’s “Portraits of Colorado” — inspired by the artwork of Jerry Malzhan — is written in 10 shorter movements, as opposed to the traditional three, to appeal to the iPod generation. It will debut with the Colorado Symphony May 31 at Denver’s Boettcher Hall. “It’s a passionate symphony not only about Colorado, but it’s really a symphony about overcoming the odds and overcoming hardship, and finding hope even in the midst of the storm,” Denler said. “We all know that life is hard, and on some people it’s harder than others. This symphony is about celebrating new beginnings and fresh starts.” Writing with the dissonance and quick resolve of Aaron Copland to the melody and theme of John Williams, Denler intends to follow up “Portraits of Colorado” with two other symphonies in the next two years: “Portraits of an American Soldier, American Symphony No. 2” and “Portraits of New England, An American Symphony No. 3.” In addition to the symphonies and composing scores for Honda, Oprah Winfrey and “NBC Dateline,” Denler — who earned his Emmys for best music in 2004 with “Bentley Creek” and in 2005 for “Beyond the
Medal of Honor” — recently composed the film score for “Henry and Me,” an animated feature due out this fall about an 8-year-old boy struggling with cancer who finds hope through baseball. The movie features the voices of Richard Gere, Cyndi Lauper, Paul Simon and numerous New York Yankees past and present, such as Reggie Jackson, Yogi Berra, Alex Rodriguez and Curtis Granderson. The story of how Denler came to write “Portraits of Colorado” will also be featured later this summer on PBS in a documentary by award-winning filmmaker Steve Greisen, called “An American Symphony.” The documentary will explore the motivation behind the symphony and flash from Malzhan’s paintings to the locations that inspired them, and will feature interviews with the composer and artist as well as live footage of the May 31 performance. “It’s really a cool inside look at the inspiration,” Denler said. “People don’t write symphonies that much anymore. It makes the process feel normal to people, not so mysterious, not just something that dead guys have done.” For more information on the composer, to hear samples or to purchase tickets for the concert with the Colorado Symphony, please visit www.littlerivermusic.com.

The Rock Christian Academy in Castle Rock has bagged Phil and Willie Robertson, two of the stars of the wildly popular “Duck Dynasty,” A&E’s reality series, for a speaking engagement and fundraiser beginning at 6:30 p.m. May 19 at The Douglas County Events Center. Event organizer and Rock Christian Academy parent Michael Brumbaugh took dead aim at the Robertson clan months ago by contacting the family’s agent and refusing to give up. His persistence paid off. Phil and Willie, part of the family that made its fortune in products for duck hunters, will speak about “Faith, testimony, business, the importance of raising children with biblical principles and a Christian education.” “We need to do a big event every year to continue to fund the scholarship fund,” Brumbaugh said. “I thought about it for a couple of months, then started watching `Duck Dynasty.’ I thought, `These guys are great! I wonder if they do speaking engagements since they come from a Christian family?’” The persistent parent hounded the agent until he got a “confirmed” answer. “When your heart is in something and you believe in something as strong as the Rock Academy, and how God is moving in that school, you fight for what you believe in,” he said. “This year God blessed us with `Duck Dynasty.’” With 8.6 million viewers, A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” is the highest-rated reality show on cable TV. The money raised from the event’s ticket sales will help fund a 10,000-square-foot expansion of the existing building, build the school’s playground and provide financial aid and scholarships to families who can’t afford the $4,700 annual tuition. VIP tickets (with a pre-event meet and greet) are $150; other tickets are $60 for general admission to $80 for “gold seating” right behind the VIP seats.

Renew, renovate for perfect lawn By Melinda Myers
Special to Colorado Community Media The extreme heat and drought of 2012 was hard on lawns and gardens. “Many gardeners are facing a blank slate of bare soil, masses of dead patches that were once lawn or a bit of grass interspersed in a sea of weeds,” says gardening expert Melinda Myers. Myers recommends following these steps to improve lawns this season. Start this spring to renovate or improve your weather-worn lawn. Remember that water is critical to get newly seeded and sodded lawns to survive. So be prepared to help nature along with the recovery effort. Evaluate the damage. Then use the checklist below to find the best course of action to aid the ailing lawn. If the lawn is more than 60 percent weeds or bare soil, it’s probably time to start over. Use this opportunity to create a great foundation for growing a healthy lawn. Kill off the existing vegetation, add several inches of organic matter such as compost or peat moss and a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer into the top six
pings on the lawn. They return moisture, nutrients, and organic matter to the soil. Repair small dead and bare patches as needed. Use a lawn patch kit, grass seed and mulch. For small spots, loosen the soil surface, sprinkle grass seed and lightly rake. Or mix a handful of grass seed in a bucket of topsoil. Sprinkle the mix over the soil surface. Do a bit more soil preparation when renovating larger dead areas in the lawn. Remove or kill any weeds that have filled in these areas. Till two inches of compost, peat moss or other organic matter into the top six inches of soil. Sow seed, rake and mulch or lay sod. Overseed thin and sparse lawns. First, core aerate the lawn to improve soil conditions and increase seed-to-soil contact. Spread grass seed over the aerated lawn and water as needed. Or rent a slit seeder or hire a professional with this type of equipment. These machines slice through the soil and drop the grass seed in place, increasing the seed-to-soil contact that is needed for good germination. Core aerate lawns that have more than a half-inch of thatch,
to eight inches of soil, and rake smooth. Select more drought tolerant grasses like rhizomatous (turftype) tall fescues, buffalo grass, and Habiturf native lawn mix. Make sure the grass is suited to the climate and plant according to the label. Then sow the seeds, lightly rake and mulch or lay sod. Water often enough to keep the soil moist until the seeds sprout or the sod roots into the soil below. Then water thoroughly when the top few inches of soil are crumbly, but slightly moist to encourage deep roots. Fertilize new, existing and stressed lawns with a low-nitrogen slow-release fertilizer like Milorganite. It won’t harm stressed lawns, young seedlings or newly laid sod. It will encourage slow steady growth. Southern lawns can be fertilized in April and again in early June. In the north fertilize around Memorial Day. And if 2013 turns into another hot dry summer, it won’t burn the lawn. Mow high to encourage deeply rooted grass that is more drought-tolerant and pest-resistant. And mow often, removing only a third of the total height. Be sure to leave these short clip-

Five projects to increase a home’s value By StatePoint Selling a home can be challenging. The good news is there are a few tweaks that can give homeowners a serious leg up on the competition. With the warmer months being the most active time of year to buy and sell real estate, it’s important to ensure your home is seen in the best light possible. “Despite the influx of homes for sale this season, the process of buying and selling a home can be simple, efficient and enjoyable,” says Wendy Froehlich of Homes. com, one of the nation’s top online real estate listing and lifestyle resources. According to Homes.com, the top five projects that improve home equity are:

Her Outdoor spaces com. Curb appeal adds immediate interest to any home’s exterior. According to Remodeling Magazine, improving outdoor spaces can increase a home’s resale value dollarfor-dollar. Frame the front walkway with items that add visual interest, like flowers, potted plants, large rocks of various sizes and solar-powered lights. If yard space is scarce, hanging plants are another great, low-cost option. Extend outdoor projects to the back-
yard — power-wash decks or patios and clean screened-in areas. Kitchen Kitchen renovations can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000 and more. If that’s not in your budget, upgrading cabinetry and paint does wonders to liven up even the most outdated spaces. Add crown or decorative molding to “shape out” the kitchen cabinets and modernize the space. Repaint cabinets, or add new hardware to add visual interest and brighten dark spaces. Basement Basement improvements can optimize livable space and protect the home from extreme weather, mold, moisture damage and mites. Whether transitioning the basement to a home gym, office or family room, the basics remain the same: insulate well and waterproof. Maximize space by including shelving and storage units. If possible, make the space feel open and inviting by creating an open stairwell, a trick that visually connects the upper part of the house with the lower, and filters natural light into the space. Mudroom Mudrooms ensure families stay clutterfree and have a dedicated space to drop stuff as they come through the door. They can also make potential homeowners feel welcome upon entry. While knocking out a wall to create a mudroom is expensive and labor-intensive, you can make a “drop zone” by simply anchoring a bench to an empty wall and hanging labeled storage units. Making homes stand out in a sea of real estate listings isn’t always easy. More tips on increasing home values can be found at www.Homes.com.

Pictures speak in Littleton show Kirkpatrick, Chinn took Best of Show in 2012 exhibit
‘I started photographing body form a year
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com Although they hang quietly on a wall at the Littleton Museum, these are photographs that want to tell stories. Each one is carefully thought out as to content, light, color, pattern, mood …. They await interaction with the visitor. Photographers Karen Kirkpatrick and Fee Chinn were Best of Show winners — in IF YOU GO black and white and “Eye of the Camera: 2012 color — in Best of Show” is at the the 2012 Eye Littleton Museum, 6028 of the CamS. Gallup St., Littleton, era Exhibit, through May 28. sponsored Admission is free. by the LittleHours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ton Fine Arts Tuesdays through FriBoard.

Their work combines evenly, although it is hung separately. A dreamy quality prevails and calls on the viewer to bring imagination to the gallery and interact with the images. We were able to visit the gallery with Kirkpatrick, a Centennial resident. Unfortunately, Chinn, who lives in Lafayette, was held up by a spring snowstorm.
ago. I wanted to give the female figure in my images a sense of style.’ Fee Chinn, photographer
“Botanical Gardens” by Fee Chinn is her Best of Show winner from the 2012 Eye of the Camera show. She has additional work in an exhibit at the Littleton Museum. Photo by Fee Chin Last year’s winners are mounted at the gallery entrance. To the right, one finds Kirkpatrick’s work, leading with a greeting from a friendly horse, followed by a group called “Light Before Dawn” — “ordinary scenes that have been manipulated slightly in order to infuse them with the emotion I felt as I worked with each of the images,” she explains.
The photographer, who is also a quilter, said she was “trying to loosen up … to make them look like they are my work” as she layered images. She hopes to draw the viewer into the story — make them want to walk on the path, become engaged. She has become interested in working with a Holga camera, a small plastic “point and shoot,”
which tends to distort the image. When her children were grown she decided to get serious about photography, an interest since she had used her parents’ Brownie camera. Photographer John Davenport encouraged her to go back to school and she finished a BFA degree at CU-Denver, connecting with the arts community. Fee Chinn’s collection of prints
reflects an interest in the feminine mystique she conveys through her images. Her engaging “Night Out” has a female figure floating over a brightly lit city skyline — presumably enjoying her range of choices for the evening. “I started photographing body form a year ago,” she wrote in her artists’ statement. “I wanted to give the female figure in my images a sense of style.” Her winning photograph from 2012 is called “Botanical Gardens” and the woman’s form blends in with her floral surroundings. There’s surely a story there: Who is she? Is she alone? Where is she going next? Some figures have fanciful tattoos from natural subjects — butterflies, for example. Settings are dreamlike. It will be interesting to follow Chinn as she develops this theme further.

Buyers need to have knowledgeable representation, a Realtor that has experience and expertise in the areas they are looking at calling home is key to their experience.

It is also very important that Buyers have a Realtor that can react for them quickly, especially in our current market where we have a shortage of homes on the market and when homes do come on they are going under contract in days, your Realtor has to be flexible and able to see homes with you immediately.

Time your move right to save money B
uying a new home is the most expensive purchase a person is likely to make in his or her lifetime. It also can be one of the more stressful. The Employee Relocation Council states that moving is the third most stressful event in life, following death and divorce. But a well-timed move can reduce stress and save money. Moving during certain times of the year can result in considerable savings. Moving during the summer, when children are out of school and the weather is nice, can make a move more manageable. Keep in mind that because late spring and summer are the peak moving seasons, they also tend to be more expensive. Many moving companies and truck rental agencies will charge a premium if you use their services during the summer. Furthermore, crews may change in the summer when students on vacation could fill in for regular, more experienced movers.
High prices are not only reserved for those who buy a new house during the spring and summer. Renters may find spring and summer is also the peak season for rentals. Many apartment managers can attest that the dates between June 2 and August 30 are quite busy in terms of apartment turnover. College students are more likely to move as soon as the academic year ends, and many landlords plan leases to expire in the summer months to ensure that re-renting places will be easier thanks to a flooded apartment market. According to Apartment Wiz, a Houston-based apartment locating service, although there might be greater apartment availability during the warm-weather months, it also means greater competition between prospective tenants. That greater competition can drive up prices. But apartments are harder to fill in the fall or at the onset of winter. That’s because
many people do not want the hassle of moving once school has started or the weather has chilled. Landlords who are stuck paying utilities and advertising fees for vacant apartments are far more likely to negotiate rent prices, lease terms and even security deposits during the winter in an effort to fill the apartment quickly. People sitting with homes on the market are also more likely to negotiate during cooler months when foot traffic has fizzled out. That can make shopping for a home in the fall advantageous to home buyers. Here are some other tips to reduce stress and save money when moving into a new home or apartment. • Move mid-week. Weekends are a prime time for truck rentals and moving companies. Pick a Tuesday or a Wednesday to move, and you’re much more likely to find an available moving service (even during peak mov-
ing months); you may even be able to negotiate a lower rate. • Pick a mid-month moving date. Many people move at the beginning of the month when leases are up or after mortgage payments are made. Fewer people move in the middle of the month, so you might find more affordable moving deals if you can wait a few extra weeks. • Schedule a fall or winter move. The American Moving and Storage Association says half of all moves occur during one-third of the year -- between the beginning of May and Labor Day. Beat the rush by moving outside of these dates. • Get an early start. Many people underestimate the amount of time it takes to actually move their belongings. Try to schedule a moving company to come very early in the morning to give you ample time to pack up the truck and unpack at your new home. ■ Metro Creative Services

Classic spy story gets ramped-up treatment Town Hall hosts ‘The 39 Steps’

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com London, 1935. Bored special-agent type Robert Hannay, tired of being back in London (his old buddies are married or eaten by a crocodile), decides to go to the theater as the Town Hall Arts Center production of “The 39 Steps” opens. Hannay, played by James O’Hagan Murphy, is joined in his theater box by sexy spy Annabella Schmidt (Mackenzie Paulsen) who goes home with him — and is murdered by morning. He is off and running towards the Scottish Highlands, from unknown killers and in search of the spy ring called 39 Steps — with three different women, all played by Paulsen. The rest of the 100-plus parts are played with astonishing comic timing by two “clowns”: Eric Mather and Seth Maisel. Sometimes it’s just the change of a hat and at other times, there are rapid costume changes — all very cleverly staged by veteran director Robert Wells. We see a race across the tops of a moving train headed towards the Highlands, the

One wonders what those two would think of this crazy version, adapted by Patrick Barlow. And one wonders at the imagination that could envision this ongoing hilarity. It’s a delightful spoof that keeps an audience laughing as our hero is chased by police, dogs, planes and sinister types. Wells, in his notes, calls our attention to the first bi-plane crash ever staged at Town Hall. His skill in bringing out the comedic, as well as that of the actors, who have to change directions and characters on a dime, make it work — aided by a nimble backstage crew. The play is set in 33 scenes — from Hannay’s London apartment to the Highlands and back again. Presumably, the auditions emphasized fitness as a requirement for the cast — especially for Murphy’s Hannay!

She works in her home studio in Roxborough Park, Littleton, where she has a potter’s wheel, slab roller, electric and raku kilns. For gas firing, she uses the large kiln at the guild studio, which can involve a considerable time commitment, as firings take longer. It does give different colors with glazes and can go to the higher Cone 10 temperature, which allows different effects. About 30 potters will exhibit and sell almost 2,500 pieces of original, handmade functional and sculptural pottery.

Composer, pianist, visual artist and poet David Thomas Roberts is a 21st-century Renaissance man. He will illustrate one facet of his multiple ouldtalents when he performs for the RagPat-time Society of Colorado at 7 p.m. May magi-1 in Englewood. g hi- Roberts, who has performed in Norway, Japan, New York and across audi-the U.S., will focus on traditional and y po-New Ragtime — or “Terra Verde” — at the Ragtime Society’s new venue, on toSchmitt Music, 155 W. Hampden Ave., TownEnglewood. (Turn north on Cherokee into the shopping center. Schmitt Muedic,sic is on the right, with parking.) ve to Roberts was born in 1955 in Moss on aPoint, Miss., and wrote his first piece, mblea waltz, at 8, performing it in a recital. By his mid-teens, immersed in Han-music, his compositions increased in andsdepth, influenced, he writes, “by the
work of Ives, Satie, Cage and Joplin — influences that continue to drive me.” “Romantic Minimalism” is one facet of his work that continues today — “an emotive, pattern-driven direction.” But what his Colorado audiences will hear is in the realm of a specialized art music, New Ragtime and its relative, Terra Verde, that niche audiences around the world recognize as David Thomas Roberts’ sound and material. Perhaps best known is “Roberto Clemente” (1979), as well as “Camille,” “Through the Bottomlands,” “Frederic and the Coast” (also 1979). His playlist for May 1 had not ar-
rived as of press time. He writes that in 1995, he first applied the term “Terra Verde” to the “Neo Romantic Pan-American genre he had pioneered.” Latin beats combine with the ragtime style in a lively, pleasing sound which harks back to early composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk, who used to haul his piano by train, performing in the U.S. and Latin America. Roberts and pianists Frank French and Scott Kirby have incorporated Gottschalk’s style into their own modern versions of Terra Verde. All integrate traditional ragtime pieces such as those by Scott Joplin into their programs as well. (Kirby is scheduled in September.) Roberts, who is an active Primitivist painter, relates to the American landscape in his compositions, with suites such as “American Landscapes,” “New Orleans Streets” and “Map Dreams. His 20 released discs include many first recordings of neglected American pieces of the late 19th and early 20th century — such as Gottschalk.

Mountain Vista edges Heritage in soccer Golden Eagles win 3-0 in hard-fought battle By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Heritage-Mountain Vista soccer game again proves statistics go out the window when teams take the field Based on won-loss records, Mountain Vista appeared to be heavily favored, with a 9-1 season record and 6-0 in league, while Heritage was 1-7-2 overall and 1-3-2 in league. But the game turned out to be a hardfought battle from the opening kickoff. In the end, Mountain Vista preserved its undefeated league record with a 3-0 win. Games take on added importance as both teams head down the home stretch of the regular season. Heritage was scheduled to play Highlands Ranch on April 23 and then face ThunderRidge on April 25. The final regular season game is April 30 at 7 p.m. against Legend at Littleton Stadium. At the same time, Mountain Vista was to play Castle View April 25 and to play Littleton on April 29. The team wraps up the regular season April 30 with a 4:30 p.m. game against Highlands Ranch at Shea Stadium. Mountain Vista is in position to win the Continental League title for the fourth year in a row, which earns them an automatic berth in the 32-team Class 5A playoffs. “We have a lot of talent on our team and have the skills to play ball-control soccer, moving the ball around and always working for a good shot on goal,” Golden Eagles coach Therese Echetermeyer said before the Heritage game. “We are also strong defensively. We have a solid back line that doesn’t let many attackers get behind them and we also have talented goalkeepers.” The Golden Eagles have scored 33 goals
Heritage goalie Katarina Wilcox (0) punches the shot over the goal during the April 18 soccer game against Mountain Vista. Wilcox successfully made the save, but Mountain Vista won the game, 3-0.

Megan Massey had five goals

Chaparral bats overwhelm Littleton in league play Lions’ strong defense trumped by Wolverines’ hitting By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Defense by both teams was solid, but Chaparral’s bats proved the difference as the Wolverines defeated Littleton 16-2 in Continental League baseball action April 19. “You have to tip your hat to Chaparral. They are a good hitting team and, when our pitchers got the ball up in the zone, they made us pay for it,” Littleton coach Micah Bernhardt said after the game. “It’s been that kind of season for us. We have played good defense and our pitching has been strong in most games, but we haven’t scored a lot of runs. It seems we don’t get the big hits or those seeing-eye hits when we need them. Despite everything, our kids play hard every game, they play the game the right way and, in this competitive league, we have to play perfect every game to get wins.” Littleton is now 2-10 overall and 1-3 in league and looking to build some momentum by winning a majority of the eight games left on the schedule. On the other side of the field, Chaparral is 10-2 overall and leading the league with a 5-0 record. “Our kids are really playing well. They

Photo by Tom Munds are playing for each other and taking care of each other,” Chaparral coach Tony Persichina said before the game. “Our strength is a fundamentally solid team. We have a solid pitching staff, play good defense and we have been hitting the ball well.”
He noted the team has the league lead now, and that will be a goal as they head into the home stretch of the season because a league title means an automatic playoff berth. But, like the vast majority of coaches,
Persichina said he tells the players to not look ahead but to concentrate on taking the field and focus on winning games one at a time. Weather has forced games to be rescheduled, so both teams face busy schedules down the home stretch of the season. The Lions face a stretch of five games in six days in the upcoming week. The Lions wrap up the season with an April 29 home game against Mountain Vista and a May 1 game on the road against Legend. Chaparral leads the league standings has a four-game schedule in five days in the coming week. The Wolverines wrap up the season with an April 29 game against Rock Canyon and a key May 2 game against ThunderRidge, which is currently 10-2 overall and 3-1 in league. In the April 19 game, the Wolverines got the bats going early, jumping out to a 5-0 first inning advantage. A big blow came when Keenan Eaton hit a two-run homer. It the fourth inning, he cleared the bases with a grand slam homer. Pitcher Max Kuhns and teammate Brett Wallace also hit home runs for Chaparral. In all, the Wolverines collected 18 hits, which included the four homers and a trio of doubles. Littleton got three hits, but two of them were home runs, one by Paul Holden and one by Sean Walker.

leaders is senior Syd Slouka. “Soccer is my sport,” she said. “I run cross country and I am on the swimming team, but soccer is very different because it is a team game and every game is different. I really like it.” She said she has played center defender until this
year when the coach moved her up to play center midfielder. “I guess the coach moved me to strengthen the team, but I have found I like the move to midfield,” she said with a smile. “Midfield is fun. It is different than defense because I get to connect with more of my teammates and I get the chance to shoot the ball on goal.” She said there is a big transition from swimming in the winter season to playing soccer in the spring. “The two sports require very different muscles. In swimming a lot of the technique requires arm strength, while soccer is about core and leg muscles,” she said. “But swimming does build cardiovascular stamina. Then, you go to soccer and work on stamina in your leg muscles.” She said she has one goal this season and it was a big thrill and felt so good. She said that among many goals she is working on, she wants to score some more goals for the soccer team.

advantage of those mistakes to score goals.” Buseck said his team depth is a major plus because he can keep fresh players on the field throughout the game without impacting the quality of his team’s play. The coach said his team struggled a little early, but he encourages the team to keep battling because they are not out of the playoff picture yet. “This is a good soccer team with a lot of talented players on the roster,” he said. “We have had some players sidelined with injuries but we still are very competitive. With the exception of Mountain Vista, our league is very competitive, so we could start winning games and still get one of the wild-card spots in the playoffs.” The team has spread the
