Fire chief announces retirement Department staff excited about idea of a fresh start By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton Fire Rescue Chief John Mullin announced his retirement on Aug. 23, four months after the firefighters’ association formally declared their lack of confidence in his leadership. He announced his decision in an email to all Littleton city employees: “I want to thank (director of public works) Charlie Blosten for his wisdom in
hiring me, for the friendship and support that I have enjoyed here and the great adventure that I experienced as a member of Littleton Fire Rescue. “I am retiring on April 1st, which will mark my 40th year. My last day at work will be December 31st. “Thanks for the memories. “Wishing you all the best.” Joel Heinemann, president of the Littleton Firefighters Association, said the department is looking forward to a new start. “We wish him well in the next chapter of his life,” he said. “We’re excited about moving forward with the future of the Littleton fire department with new leadership.” He did call the timing of Mullin’s announcement suspect, given that South Metro Fire Rescue is expected to release
next month its study on the feasibility of bringing LFR and its partners into its fold. The association feels that would be the best fix for a department that’s been under a lot of tension. “The vote of no confidence was a distraction,” said Mullin in a statement Aug. 24. “I am interested in what the South Metro study will present. In no way did either of those items influence my decision to retire. I turn 65 this October and will achieve 40 years in the Mullin fire service on April 1. I leave a wonderful, adventurefilled career on my terms.” City Manager Michael Penny, in a state-
ment, praised Mullin for his dedicated service. “Chief Mullin has dedicated years of his life to the betterment of this community and very much to the success of the organization,” said Penny. “The Chief wants to attain the 40-year status, which is very admirable and something to be incredibly proud of.” There is “a lot on the horizon,” Penny’s statement added. “John has a few shortterm goals which he would like to complete and believes can be done by the end of the year. Many of the other items are much longer term, and the chief and I are in agreement that the timing is good for a new leader to work through those. The timing is Mullin continues on Page 9

Big green bus fights hunger South Metro Health Alliance takes resource info on the road By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood resident Theresa O’Connor was just one of at least 65 people to visit the big green Hunger Free Colorado bus at Littleton’s Bemis Public Library Aug. 19 for help and information. O’Connor, who cares full time for her disabled husband, said she was there particularly to find out about dental care, but POSTAL ADDRESS
‘Some people have been really touched.’ Traci Jones, of South Metro Health Alliance she found a lot more that was useful. Every little bit helps, she said. The Community Accessing Resources Together event, sponsored by the South Metro Health Alliance, shared information on how to get help with food and housing costs, medical and dental insurance and
mental-health care, among other things. Benjamin Aymami from Cricket was there to explain how people receiving certain types of government aid are also eligible for help with their cell-phone bills, and Doug Vega from Hunger Free Colorado was helping people sign up for assistance with food and housing on the spot. “We’re really pleased with the turnout,” said Traci Jones of SMHA. “Some people have been really touched. We’ve had some people thanking us with tears in their eyes.” SMHA grew out of the work of the Littleton Immigrant Integration Initiative’s Health and Wellness Program, which brought together a wide range of
The protests of several developers who lined up in front of Littleton City Council regarding impact fees fell on mostly deaf ears Aug. 20, with councilors voting 6-1 to charge $3,762 per residential unit and about $1.83 per square foot of commercial property in an effort to ensure growth pays its own way. “We know that we’ve put into the city of Littleton much more money than we’ve gotten back,” said Charles Edwards, president of Dallas-based Fagin Resources Inc. Earlier in the evening, council approved a plan to build 250 apartments and three acres of retail — the Meadows at Platte Valley project — on land Edwards’ company has owned since 1985. At the time, he agreed to make about $3 million in infrastructure improvements, including the extension of Mineral Avenue west across Santa Fe Drive. He’s paid more than another $1 million in interest since then. If Fagin has to pay the new impact fees, that’s about another $1.2 million, but less than the $1.6 million it would have been if Mayor Debbie Brinkman had not successfully moved to exclude parks and recreation from the equation. The fees can only be used for expansion of capital assets necessary due to growth, not maintenance, and must be held in dedicated accounts. BBC Research and Consulting recommended charging $5,274 per dwelling unit for residential construction, with $1,543 going to parks, the Buck Recreation Center and Carson Nature Center. Brinkman said there’s a much greater need to maintain existing assets, which is done by South Suburban Parks and

Doctor’s legacy lives on at museum Shugart was visionary leader of Friends organization By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com A little piece of Dr. Ralph Shugart’s legacy will be tended to in perpetuity by another, larger piece. Shugart founded Arapahoe Park Pediatrics in 1953, tending to young patients at a small office on Orchard Road. He died in 1985 at the age of 56, but the practice lives on, now on Mineral Avenue, and celebrated 60 years this summer by riding in the Western Welcome Week parade. That led to an encounter that reunited Shugart’s family with his practice. Mike Fisher of HMRx Inc., a medical-business management company, calls APP one of his first, best and brightest clients. After seeing Fisher in the parade, a family friend of the Shugarts’ connected him with the doctor’s daughter, Martha McCannon. She rounded up other siblings, and they all met at Littleton Museum Aug. 23 to donate Dr. Shugart’s original microscope to the collection. “We are so excited to celebrate this milestone,” said Dr. William DeLano, a former colleague of Shugart’s. “This microscope is a great piece of history to share with the community.” Which leads us to what Shugart is perhaps best known for, as a visionary founding member of
Dr. William DeLano holds Arapahoe Pediatrics’ first microscope, surrounded by the family of Dr. Ralph Shugart, who founded the clinic 60 years ago. The clinic donated the microscope to the Littleton Musem Aug. 23. Photo by Jennifer Smith Friends of the Library and Museum. Nancy Wynne’s history of FOLM, which celebrates 50 years
in 2013, credits Shugart with realizing the importance of imparting a sense of community to residents of the city.
“Without exception, everyone with whom I have spoken during the preparation of this project has stressed the importance of Ralph’s
presidency not only to Friends of the Library, but to the city of Littleton,” wrote Wynne. “His vision as to what a society such as Friends could do to the community, and do for the community, plus his ability to make others see this vision and be eager to work to accomplish it, these are the things to which all these people referred when they attempted to explain to me the electrifying effect that was caused by Ralph’s leadership.” Those who knew Shugart describe him as passionate, curious, fiery and funny. Daughter Beth Duncan says he might best be described as a combination of Dr. House and Dr. Seuss, and daughter Martha McCannon adds Dr. Jekyll to the mix. “He even dressed loud,” said DeLano, recalling a favorite pink seersucker suit. He was active with Fiasco, an old Littleton tradition of residents producing a musical spoof of themselves and goings-on in town. His children say he had a natural flair for the dramatic that was on all the time. Which might have been a little awkward for some boys growing up in Littleton in the 1960s and 1970s, because he volunteered his time to do “the sex talks” at local schools. “That was embarrassing,” said Duncan. Shugart later recruited DeLano to perform that role, but DeLano said he trained him well first, as he did in all things. “He was always passionate, and he was a good teacher. He was forgiving, willing to instruct and guide. He molded me in some ways. I just didn’t acquire his witty personality.”

m Festival featured birthdays on parade Ride came as surprise to longtime resident

Her birthday fell smack in the middle of ” t de-Western Welcome Week this year, on Aug. ious,13, and that gave some WWW folks an idea.

Cathleen Thompson of Littleton got to celebrate her 85th birthday by riding in the 85th Western Welcome Week Grand Parade. The surprise was a special treat arranged by her daughter, Kathy Thompson. Photo by Deborah Grigsby loved me. I’ve really got good friends.” Coincidentally, Thompson was also celebrating 50 years in Littleton. The family moved here from North Carolina in 1963, hoping the climate would ease her ailing husband’s health. Sadly, he died five months later, leaving her a young single mom with two kids. “She worked three or four jobs at a time
to raise us,” said Kathy Thompson. “There was no public dole then, and she wouldn’t have taken it anyway, because she’s a really hard worker.” Her first job in town was at a barbecue restaurant called Georgia Boys, at Broadway and Panama Drive, where McDonald’s is now. Then she added Columbine Country
Club to the list, where she served meals to famous golfers like Arnold Palmer and even once to President Gerald Ford after he finished a round. She stayed there for 15 years before running her own restaurant, Mr. J’s on Kipling Parkway. She sold her business five years later, then went on to work 15 more years at the Mountain Bell training center on Wadsworth Boulevard. After that she “semiretired” to a part-time job at Canteen Corp. “I made coffee, sandwiches, whatever needed to be done, I could do it,” she said. Finally, at 71, she retired. “There are very, very, very few people who have her work ethic,” said Kathy Thompson. “She did hard, physical work until she was 71. She paid off that house, and she did it by herself. Truly by herself. She’s my she-ro.” She never really stopped wanting to serve people, though. She’s known for her chocolate cakes, which turn up all over town whenever she thinks somebody might like one. “She helps people,” said Kathy Thompson. “She’ll hear about somebody having a hard time and just show up to cook or shop without them even asking. She just knows what to do. She’s thoughtful like that.” Cathleen Thompson she doesn’t really know any other way to be. “I’ve worked hard my whole life,” she said. “I’m proud I got my two kids raised with all the problems through my life. I raised them and got them educated. I’m proud I got it done.”

During winter storms, Arapahoe County snowplows work around the clock to keep roads passable. • Don’t crowd these large vehicles. Give snowplow operators room to do their job.
By Deborah Grigsby
dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com For most folks, blowing down Broncos Parkway in a snowplow, in August, with the wind in your hair may seem rather odd. But for veteran snowplow driver Jim Maes, it’s part of his job. And his job, along with that of the Arapahoe County Road and Bridge Division, is to be ready to move mountains of white stuff before the first flake hits the ground. More than 50 division employees, including Maes, took part in an annual daylong training program Aug. 22, designed to blow the cobwebs off the county’s 19 snowplows, four loaders and seven road graders. “Anyone who’s lived in Colorado knows it can snow as early as September,” said Allen Peterson, division manager. “So we want to get started while there’s time to make repairs, as well as order materials and parts.” Drivers and maintenance personnel got a dusting off, too. Along with an extensive safety course, drivers got a chance to drive their respective routes in good weather, which Petersen
• Don’t tailgate snowplows or crowd them on either side. • Plow drivers can’t see directly behind the trucks. Staying a safe distance behind a snowplow prevent possible injury. Plows weigh upwards of 60,000 pounds and may take up to 10 times longer to stop than regular passenger vehicles. • Watch for plows on highways and on ramps. Yield to them. • Never drive through a snow cloud or whiteout conditions.
Veteran Arapahoe County snowplow driver Jim Maes starts a detailed electronic checklist on his vehicle before setting out on a daylong training workshop on Aug. 22. Photo by Deborah Grigsby says helps build confidence. Ensuring an adequate supply of replacement parts and de-icing material is also on the list, said Peterson. Parts that are hard to get or wear out
more often are ordered in advance. “Before each shift, the snowplow operator completes a checklist that certifies the condition of the plow before it leaves the yard,” said Maes.
A small hand-held device and special electronic pucks located on the vehicle’s frame, inside the cab, and even on the engine, force the driver to visually inspect the plow, tire pressure, mileage, the sander, fluid levels, safety lighting and more. “I try to plow these roads like I would plow them for my family,” said Maes, who plows the remote rural areas of Deer Trail. “I want my family to be safe out there, so that’s what I keep on my mind.”

LFR changes fines for ailing EMS company Rural/Metro Ambulance files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization By Jennifer Smith
‘There’s somewhat a hope they come out of this bankruptcy stronger than they are now.’ Littleton Fire Rescue Chief John Mullin
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Litteton City Council on Aug. 20 changed the fines it charges its backup ambulance operator, Rural/Metro Ambulance Company, for running late for a call. Rural/Metro, based in Arizona, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this month, which allows it to reorganize in an effort to lower its debt. City Attorney Ken Fellman said he’ll monitor the filings in that case to ensure there’s no risk to the city, which neither pays nor gets paid by Rural/Metro to back up city paramedics.
The only financial transactions noted in the contract are the fines. Council approved a graduated structure ranging from $100 for 12-16 minutes up to $400 for 22 minutes or longer. Previously, the fines were based on average times per month. The fine for a total failure to respond is $100, which Littleton Fire Rescue Chief Mullin says is to encourage the company’s staff to let them know early on if they can’t make it rather than waiting until the last second, perhaps endangering the patient. Prior to March, Littleton Fire Rescue

only transported the most dire patients itself, while relying on back-up companies for others. Now it takes them all, only using Rural/Metro in emergencies. “Increasing LFR transports has significantly diminished the number of transports provided by the current ambulance partner, Rural/Metro, making the fine structure in the current contract ineffective and unreasonable,” writes Chief John Mullin in a memo to council. He said the number has dropped to about eight a month from a high of more than 200.
Staff concluded there would be little financial impact on the city due to the change. Reuters reported on Aug. 4 that Rural/ Metro declared liabilities and assets each worth more than $500 million in its Chapter 11 filing. It reached an agreement with its debtors to reduce payments by nearly 50 percent. Bondholders have also agreed to infuse $135 million in new equity financing once Rural/Metro emerges from Chapter 11. Reuters said the company anticipates completing its restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2013. “There’s somewhat a hope they come out of this bankruptcy stronger than they are now,” said Mullin. “I don’t have any knowledge of their financials, other than the performance they deliver, which has been really good.” A request for comment to Rural/Metro’s corporate office went unanswered.

Pot and lodging taxes, citizen bills make ballot Measures intended to counter initiatives die
‘Citizens like the idea of a more open and transparent city government, and some would like to eliminate
By Jennifer Smith
secret meetings altogether.’
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com While a trio of bills that seemed to take direct aim at a pair of successful citizen initiatives died in front of Littleton City Council Aug. 20, measures to impose city taxes on pot and lodging will appear on the November ballot, as will one asking to redraw council boundaries every 10 years rather than every four. “I’m concerned some of you might be motivated to confuse the voters,” said Frank Atwood, a sponsor of the initiatives put forth by the grassroots Citizens for Rational Development, about the proposed competition. City Clerk Wendy Heffner announced Aug. 22 that CRD had gathered enough signatures to get the initiatives on the fall ballot. The first would require the sevenmember council to pass a rezone with a supermajority if it is challenged by 20 percent of property owners within 100 feet of the site in question, or if the planning board recommends against it. Littleton’s homerule charter supersedes state law on most things, and it allows rezoning requests to pass with a simple majority. At council’s direction, city staff came up with two alternatives that attempted to find

Carol Brzeczek, of Citizens for Rational Development middle ground. In the end, one died for lack of a second to Councilor Jim Taylor’s motion, and the other fell 3-4, with Taylor, Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Stahlman and Councilor Phil Cernanec voting in favor. “I think what we have been doing has worked well,” said Councilor Peggy Cole. CRD’s second proposal is to limit council’s use of closed-door meetings. It would allow council to meet in executive session only to discuss ongoing lawsuits and matters that are required to be confidential by state and federal law — generally personnel matters and legal advice. It would prohibit them from turning off the recording device when meeting with their attorney, which state law allows, and require them to keep the tape until all the councilors are no longer on council. City staff drafted countering legislation that would have placed what council actually does into the charter, which is essentially the city’s constitutional document. It basically mirrors state law but doesn’t ad-

dress recordkeeping. “Citizens like the idea of a more open and transparent city government, and some would like to eliminate secret meetings altogether,” said Carol Brzeczek, who is leading up the petition charge for CRD. Of the three measures that council will place on the ballot, only the redistricting question passed unanimously. Mayor Debbie Brinkman and Councilor Bruce Beckman voted against the pot tax, voicing their opposition to marijuana generally. Council hasn’t yet officially decided whether to allow retail sales. Only Cernanec and Beckman voted against the lodging tax. The Hampton Inn & Suites on County Line Road, in Brinkman’s district, is Littleton’s only hotel. During a debate in 2011, when Brinkman ran unopposed for re-election, she said not having the tax gives it a competitive edge. “If they want to be lean and mean, I want to help them be lean and mean,” she said at
the time. “We’re certainly opposed to it,” Chris Bailey, the hotel’s director of sales, said in June. “The value for the customer goes down, and the customer doesn’t separate the tax from the cost of the room. It’s a tax against our hotel, essentially.” There are two motels, Essex House and Evergreen, both on Santa Fe Drive, neither of which is likely to attract a thriving tourist clientele. Doug Farmen, the city’s finance director, estimates a 3 percent lodging tax could add $90,000 in annual revenues to the city’s general fund. The state of Colorado, Douglas County and Arapahoe County all collect lodging tax, and the average in Colorado is approximately 2.45 percent. Littleton residents will also be voting on Nov. 5 to fill four council seats. Randy Stein is so far the only person running to replace the term-limited Taylor. Beckman and Stahlman both want to retain their at-large seats but are being challenged by newcomer John Watson. Nobody has yet stepped up to challenge Cernanec in District 3. Five people have officially declared bids for three seats on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education: Dallas Jones, Kelly Perez, Robert Reichardt, Jack Reutzel and Carrie Warren-Gully. The current board will decide later this month whether to also place an $80 million bond issue on the ballot. Littleton’s municipal election is Nov. 5.

opinions / yours and ours
‘Dream’ speech still a call for promise Many people have heard or read the entire Martin Luther King “I Have a Dream” speech — more than once. Many of our readers can recite a favorite phrase or two. We recognize the power of the words. The famous speech — among the most important of the 20th century — came to the forefront of the American consciousness once again with its 50th anniversary Aug. 28, rather than on Martin Luther King Day, which is celebrated each year in the cold of January. With this, we are reminded the speech reverberated in the heat of summer when about 250,000 people gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., as part of a peaceful march on Washington for jobs and freedom. Due to press deadlines we don’t know
our view how President Barack Obama may have marked the occasion in a speech scheduled this week on the very steps of the Lincoln Memorial where King stood. We know that while we trust certain themes resonate with both men, different insights are expected: One saw the world as an civil-rights activist and pastor, while the other is viewing the world as an elected official of such high stature as president. But we expect the world will have heard an appropriate tribute and comment related
to King’s words from the president. We agree with the view that the country has come a long way in racial equality but has much further to go. To King’s dream, many people are still not judged on the content of their character instead of the color of their skin. King referred to the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and said, “It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked ‘insufficient funds.’” Fifty years ago the crowd reacted loudly to these words, and to many, the words hold true today. After all, with current data
in hand, unemployment in the black community still commonly hovers at twice the level of the white community. But we do recognize that the inspiration of this speech has helped to improve laws and behavior, helping the country put its best foot forward as a nation that recognizes the strength and fairness called for in embracing its diversity. As King said, “we cannot walk alone.” King’s speech and Martin Luther King Day hold special places in our country, inspiring people to work toward the American promise. We are part of the cause and walk forward recalling the words from the dream speech, “Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado.” Let there be justice and let it begin with us.
Why you should do hardest things first
letters to the editor medicare proposal threatens dialysis care
As a dialysis facility administrator at Southwest Denver Dialysis Center, I care for 23 kidney failure patients every day who are like family to me. Dialysis is a time-consuming and lifechanging process requiring patients to undergo four-hour sessions three times a week to rid their bodies of deadly toxins and to enable them to live full and active lives. I am writing to express my extreme concern over a recent proposal by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that would cut Medicare reimbursement for dialysis care by 12 percent. Considering that Medicare reimbursement fails to cover the cost of dialysis currently, further cuts will be devastating to the hundreds of thousands of patients on dialysis who depend on Medicare — and the caregivers who treat them. The effects of these proposed cuts to dialysis care may force reductions in staffing levels and reduce access to additional services such as social workers, nurses or dietitians. Most frightening, however, is the potential for reduced access to dialysis care in Littleton altogether. Colorado has nearly 4,000 citizens on dialysis served by just 68 facilities. Lawmakers must understand that without ready access to dialysis care and ancillary services, patients with kidney failure will die. I want to thank Congresswoman Diana DeGette for signing on to a recent letter to CMS that expressed concern about these very cuts. We hope readers feel compelled to contact Sen. Bennet and Sen. Udall to ask for their support as well. Rebecca Adamson Facility administrator, Southwest Denver Dialysis Center
Council let city down
On Aug. 20, the Littleton City Council
heard a final reading on the rezoning of 7620 South Platte Canyon Road from PD-C to PD-R. Councilmembers Cole, Beckman, and Valdes all voted against this change, referencing the negative impact on Littleton citizens in the immediate area. Mayor Brinkman (representative for this district) voted in favor of the zoning change, voting against the people who elected her. Additionally, Taylor, Stahlman, and Cernanec all voted in favor of converting commercial to high-density residential. What makes this so unpalatable is the fact that Brinkman, Stahlman, and Cernanec all ran during the last election on low density and keeping the character and tradition of Littleton. In fact, Brinkman’s campaign literature stated “Balance growth (low density, diversified employment, appropriate retail)” and “Low-density housing - I say, `LOW or NO!’” Stahlman went so far to say during his lengthy speech on why he was voting in favor of this development was that it is on the edges of Littleton, as if this had anything to do with the rezoning. His campaign literature stated “Build on the best of Littleton’s character and tradition.” I helped elect these two councilmembers based on what they said they were going to do. However, they don’t walk their talk. They tell us what we want to hear and then do what they want. I am not opposed to high density, in fact I think the Littleton Village project (Marathon property) is a great mixed use property and one I want to see succeed. I am disappointed in Brinkman, my own council representative, for not voting with and for her constituents. I am proud to have Cole, Beckman, and Valdes representing all the citizens and listening to what they say. I know how I will be voting in the upcoming election. Val Watson Littleton
The other day I found myself facing a situation where I had to have a difficult conversation with someone very close and special to me. And the more I thought about it and waited, the more difficult the conversation was becoming in my head and I almost talked myself out of raising the issue and having the discussion. Then I remembered something that Zig Ziglar used to say, “If you ever have to kiss a frog you will want to kiss it right away, because the longer you wait, the bigger and uglier that frog is going to become.” And then the thought will become so gross that we will eventually just avoid it completely. Have you ever been in a situation where there was a difficult task, or something that you just did not want to do? Maybe it was going to be a terrible or fierce conversation you had to have and the simple thought of it was giving you heartburn and a headache. The fact is that the more we delay or avoid the task or discussion, the more our minds take over, and our imagination creates scenarios that are far worse and more horrific than what the reality will actually be. Additionally, as we go about our day, or our week, or maybe even our weekend, the more that we carry the burden of having to do what we ultimately have to do, the less productive we are in all other areas of life. Not only are we less productive, we become distracted, and other things that we enjoy doing and people we appreciate being around are forced to suffer along

with us as we are just not ourselves during this time. On the positive side, when we finally get the action item we have been dreading off our plate, deal with it and get it past us, we are liberated and have freed ourselves up to get back to doing the things that bring us happiness and allow us to focus on our goals and other tasks at hand. Now don’t mistake this as a suggestion for rushing into action and calling someone out, initiating a tough talk, or tackling a less than desirable activity. The recommended approach is to make sure that we have taken the time to consider the “why” behind the difficult task, thinking through and considering carefully what we have to say or do. Maybe at least practicing the 24-hour rule to give ourselves time to think it through is the minimal approach. But at the end of the day, when we have thought it through and know with absolute certainty that we must take care of the Norton continues on Page 7

Word is, voices can say a mouthful I was listening to the car radio the other day and heard a voice that is such a monotonous drone it could make you reach for the Kool-Aid. And I thought: Shouldn’t radio be the number-one place for nothing but agreeable voices? Then I remembered Tiny Tim, who was a fairly creepy novelty act in the 1960s, who must have made a million dollars with his unbearable (to me) high falsetto, vibrato voice. His looks were a perfect accompaniment. Long, scraggly hair that seemed to have been unlaundered for days or weeks. You know the car radio voice I am referring to, but I am not going to name names. Voice-only talents are desirable because some voices can be good for marketing simply because they are unforgettable, even Kool-Aid ones. Some voice talents, like Mel Blanc, have become well-known solely because of their vocal distinctions. You can always recognize Mel’s voice, but you would never recognize Mel on the street. The first time I ever thought about distinctive voices was the first time I heard Froggy, when I was a kid. He was one of the
stars in the “Our Gang” films in the early 1940s. He first appeared at age 8, and his voice already sounded like a frog’s croak, so actor Billy Laughlin was nicknamed “Froggy.” He sounded like a much older actor named Eugene Pallette. No one knows who Pallette was, but I was determined to learn how to imitate his voice after seeing him in “My Man Godfrey.” Eventually, and to this day, I can. But who would know? Who would ever say, “That’s a very good Eugene Pallette”? Froggy was delivering newspapers in real life when his motor scooter was hit by a bus.
He died instantly, age 16. There are some voices — no names — that drive me crazy. I avoid newscasters, sportscasters and other personalities if there’s a voice involved that makes me cringe. Can we do anything about our voices if we don’t like them? Of course. Like a nose job, you can get a voice job. I’m not sure where, or how, but everything else can be augmented or modified. Our voices change naturally. Boys’ choirs are just that. I was at a May D&F one day, and I thought I heard someone over in towels who might be having an afternoon helium. I followed the sounds and found a woman who was in her 50s, and who sounded like a Saturday morning cartoon. She was an employee. I decided to buy a few hand towels and say something about her unusual voice. She said she wasn’t surprised. “Happens to me all the time.” Then she told me that she was a voiceonly performer, and that it was quite lucrative. Sometimes it takes more than one voice to get the job done. I was given a tip about the Everly Brothers, that they might break
up before, during, or after a performance at Knott’s Berry Farm in July 1973. So I was in the audience that night, and sure enough. Phil walked off the stage leaving his brother Don to carry on — but one Everly brother isn’t the same, and he was booed off the stage. I should mention that Don was drunk and couldn’t remember lyrics, which was why Phil was so upset. The brothers barely spoke to each other for the next 10 years. Eventually they repaired the relationship and I went to see them at the Paramount Theatre in Denver in 1998. Whenever I am asked to give a public talk about my art work, I always finish my presentation by saying that my one regret in life is that I wasn’t one of the Everly Brothers. Their harmonies have always meant so much to me. At the Paramount Theatre that night they received a standing ovation. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

What I learned in bourbon and horse country Few people get to travel to Lexington, Ky., and see a behind-the-scenes view of the horse racing and bourbon country. But even fewer get to become a Henry Toll Fellow and Kentucky Colonel all in one trip. I was that lucky last week. I was fortunate to be one of 48 policymakers (the only one from Colorado) selected as a 2013 Henry Toll Fellow by the Council of State Governments. The Toll Fellowship Program, named for CSG founder Henry Wolcott Toll, also from Colorado, is one of the nation’s premier leadership development programs, bringing top state officials from all three branches for an intensive six-day “intellectual boot camp.” And to boot, we were also bestowed with the highest honor in their state of being named a Kentucky Colonel! During the program, with hardly any free time and working from early to late every day, it felt like I was back in session, needing to be focused every minute. But what I learned was very valuable to me, and soon to be for my constituents. • Lesson 1: Sometimes, there’s no easy way to get there, but you’ll make it. On my travels to and from, I had to go through a connecting city, which is never easy.
And just on my way there, I experienced a sobbing baby, snoring man and broken luggage, but I made it. Little did I know this would be foreshadowing. At one point, we broke down into our regions to work together on an innovative solution to a daunting challenge we have in our part of the country. True to form, our Western region easily decided on our issue: the shortage of water. Then it became sticky. Working every waking minute we eventually came up with a solution and presentation about this escalating crisis before us. I was reminded once again that we are all in this together. Here we were, Western Republicans and Democrats from different states sitting side by side, proficiently

brainstorming civilly, without a word of partisan ideology. It was only through our civil discourse and open-mindedness that we were able to persevere through the tough conversations and come up with a solution we thought might work in the real world. • Lesson 2: As I would take a “view from the balcony,” an overarching theme arose of “strategy and guts.” As policymakers, we need to think strategically and futuristically as much as possible in order to see the long-term benefits as well as any potential unintended consequences of our actions. Yet without the guts of risk-taking also, nothing would get done. Candidates wouldn’t run for office, legislators wouldn’t
act innovatively and constituents wouldn’t be represented. Knowing the road can sometimes be rough in public service, we need to remember the strategy, guts and civility that help us get to the other side. This shows only two. There were so many “ah-has” over the days I spent in Kentucky, but none more powerful than the reminder of my gratitude for being a public servant.

Former Olympian inspires young swimmers Misty Hyman makes splash in Highlands Ranch visit By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Before there was “Missy the Missile,” there was Misty Hyman; the 20-year-old swimmer from Arizona who stunned the world when she upset Susie O’Neill in the 2000 Sydney Games, capturing gold in the 200 butterfly and handing O’Neill her first loss in six years. About 150 people gave Hyman an Olympic-sized welcome Aug. 16 at Southridge Recreation Center in Highlands Ranch as the former champion took center stage yet again, delivering an inspirational speech to all those in attendance. Hyman, who spent the rest of the weekend putting on a trio of clinics for youth and adult swimmers, shared her story, which began as a 5-year-old asthmatic that couldn’t even finish her first race, to a girl who missed qualifying for the 1996 Atlanta Games by .003 seconds, to an underdog that shocked the world in 2000. “Sports are one of the best illustrations of human potential,” she told the crowd. “When you see Michael Phelps record his 22nd medal or a gymnast perform a perfect dismount you are reminded of what we, as humans, have the potential to do. “The reason we have races and the reason we live our lives is because on any given day, anyone who has done the work and has the courage to try their best has a chance to win. There are no guarantees ... it’s all a big risk. But as long you do your best along the way there are so many things that are going to help you with the rest of your life.” Hyman spent a lot of time talking with kids in the audience about the
Jennae Kahler, 8, of Littleton, tries on Misty Hyman’s 2000 Olympic gold medal Aug. 16 at Southridge Recreation Center in Highlands Ranch. Hyman was in town for the weekend to give a talk and teach multiple swim clinics to area youths and adults. Photo by Ryan Boldrey importance of education and stated that no matter how far their sport or extra-curricular activity takes them, nothing would take them further in their lives than their academics. Hyman, who graduated from Stanford in 2002, went to Switzerland to earn her MBA after retiring from swimming in 2005. When she returned to Arizona to write her master’s thesis, however, she began to get requests to give youth lessons and make public appearances and she landed right back in the world of swimming. “I thought I was hanging up my cap and goggles,” she said. “But a lot of times the best things in life happen by accident. I had spent 25 years entrenched in swimming, studying it, training, living and breathing it. To
have the opportunity to share what I’ve learned with the next generation, the passion, the joy, is very meaningful.” In addition to teaching private lessons in Arizona, Hyman spends between one and three weekends per month on the road, running clinics and giving speeches like the one in Highlands Ranch. The latter gives meaning to more than just Hyman. “She’s my favorite swimmer,” said Gianna Herrera, 11, of Highlands Ranch, a fellow butterfly specialist who said despite not being born when Hyman won Gold, she last watched Hyman’s Olympic race on YouTube the weekend before. “I want to be just like her when I grow up. I’m very excited to meet her and swim with her.”

Meadows heading to greener pastures Council OKs 250-unit apartment complex By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com In a 4-3 vote, Littleton City Council narrowly cleared the way Aug. 20 for the Meadows at Platte Valley, a development of 250 apartments and three acres of retail to rise at the southeast corner of Mineral Avenue and Platte Canyon Road. But an amendment initiated by Councilor Jim Taylor might quash the deal, according to Jim Wikstrom, project manager for Evergreen Devco Inc. The amendment requires Evergreen to have two of the three retail acres built before renting its 150th apartment. Taylor said he meant to ensure the commercial portion was built to generate sales tax for the city, pointing out the entire 17acre site was intended to be retail. He acknowledged that because the surrounding area wasn’t built with enough density to support that much retail, rezoning 14 acres to residential was appropriate.

not tied to any reports or the vote of no confidence.” The department has had its share of controversy in recent years. Response times and insurance rates were historically poor in Trailmark, though an intergovernmental agreement was reached this year with West Metro Fire for coverage there. There’s also been conflict between LFR and its partners — Highlands Ranch Metro District and Littleton Fire Protection District — that led some to wonder if the partnership would be renewed in 2012. “Once a proud and well-regarded emergency services provider, we have watched with dismay and disappointment as Littleton has been passed up by other metro fire departments,” the association wrote in an April 16 letter to Penny. “It pains us to see how far we have fallen under the leadership of John Mullin.” The South Metro study is the fourth of its kind since 2008. In 2012, Emergency Services Consulting International recommended an eventual merger with Englewood’s department, but no real steps have been taken toward that end. In 2011, the two partners paid for their own study but have refused to release it, saying it was never completed. In 2008, the city partnered with LFPD and HRMD to hire Organizational Effectiveness Consulting. That study contained 108 recommendations, very few of which were ever implemented due to budget constraints. “Littleton is not as stable a fire department as other traditional fire depart-
“If it was left as zoned — and I was on that council — this would be a viable commercial area,” he said. “But it was not left that way.” “If you want to kill the project, do that,” Wikstrom said. “`If you build it they will come’ does not work for retail. Tying one to the other will kill the deal.” Tyler Carlson, managing principal at Evergreen, is in charge of filling the retail spots. He said his focus is on creating a highquality project to ensure its viability, not on sales-tax revenue — basically summing up the eternal conflict between municipalities that rely on taxes and property owners who rely on rent. “Here’s the reality,” he said. “We don’t make money off of vacant dirt.” Taylor’s amendment passed 4-3, with Mayor Debbie Brinkman and councilors Peggy Cole and Bruce Beckman dissenting. Some residents are hoping Wickman’s prediction is correct. “What I surmise is that the owner waited too long to develop his retail, and now he wants the citizens of Littleton to bail him out,” said Marty Brzeczek, who has been helping Citizens of Rational Development
ments,” said Heinemann, because most of its service area is outside of the city proper. HRMD and LFPD are both substantially larger in area and population, he notes, so the smallest entity is governing the larger ones. Mullin has indicated in the past that he might retire soon, but he didn’t directly answer the question in June. “We have enacted things I believe will bring improvements in communication among command and employees, and I’m looking forward to seeing that success,” he said then. When Penny hired Police Chief Doug Stephens in June, he afforded the police-officers association substantial input. Heinemann said he hopes LFA will get the same consideration during what he expects will be a national search. “It’s unfortunate that we weren’t able to work better together, and we’ll take some of the blame for that,” said Heinemann. “It’s just unfortunate that Mullin wasn’t able to move Littleton forward at all. We’re excited to start something new.” Mullin began his fire service with Littleton Fire Rescue in 1974, holding the ranks of firefighter, paramedic, lieutenant, captain, training officer and battalion chief. He accepted the position of chief of The Woodlands Fire Department in Texas in 1998. He kept that position for six years, then returned to LFR in 2004 to assume the chief’s job. He’s served on the Colorado Fire Chiefs Executive Board and represented that organization on the State of Colorado Hazardous Materials Volunteer Certification Board. He’s also been the Colorado vice president of the executive board of the International Association of Fire Chiefs’ Missouri Valley Division.
try to get an initiative on the ballot that would enact tougher procedural requirements for rezones like this one. Charles Edwards, president of Fagin Resources Inc. in Dallas, is the property owner who is selling to Evergreen. His company has owned the land since 1985, when he bought it and the land that’s now home to the Pinnacle Apartments on the south and the Meadowbrook neighborhood of high-end homes to the north. He worked a deal with the city to annex the properties, and he agreed to make about $3 million in infrastructure improvements, including the extension of Mineral west across Santa Fe Drive. He’s paid more than another $1 million in interest since then. “I can promise you we have tried every different way to get retail for this site and have not been successful,” he said. “We’re asking that our investment at least be acknowledged and rewarded, and we think this is the company and the project to be successful.” One concern everyone has about the site is traffic, which neighbors say is already untenable. Even Charlie Blosten, the city’s public works director, agrees.

health-care providers starting in 2006. In 2011, the program earned a start-up grant of $175,000 from the Colorado Health Foundation. Today, it’s grown to include dozens of organizations that serve the uninsured and underinsured population of Arapahoe and Douglas counties, like TLC Meals on Wheels, Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network, Inter-Faith Community Services and Doctors Care. “Our vision is for the South Metro Health

Recreation, than to expand or acquire. Councilor Jim Taylor agreed with her on that, but was the sole vote against the impact fees in general. “We built this city without requiring all these fees, and we can continue to exist without these fees,” he said. He called it “extremely unfair” to lure developers in by declaring “Littleton is now going to move into the 21st century,” then slapping them with new fees in the middle of the approval process. Staff had recommended assessing the fees when the developers pull the building permit, but Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Stahlman successfully amended the ordinance
“You’re trying to put 10 gallons of traffic into a five-gallon intersection,” he said. “It really doesn’t work. … We just can’t do it all, so traffic is going to back up.” Evergreen wants to put in a light at Mineral and its main entrance, which would benefit the Meadowbrook residents. \Wikstrom says Evergreen’s studies show a light is warranted, but Blosten said those figures are more suited to urban settings. He said one might be justified in the future. Evergreen’s plans include 10 two- and three-story buildings with units renting for $1,000 to $2,000 a month, along with a dog park, detached parking, pool and a clubhouse. The retail parcels will face the northwest corner along Mineral and house small commercial ventures, along the lines of a bakery, day care or sandwich shop, said Carlson. Abby Sinnett thinks that sounds pretty good. She told council she grew up in Littleton and wanted to stay when she first got married a few years ago. “But we just fell a little bit short here in Littleton, so we moved to Highlands Ranch,” she said. “Looking back, this is exactly what we were looking for.”
Alliance to be the convener of our community to address the changing landscape of health care,” reads SMHA’s website. “The SMHA will ensure that there is no `wrong door’ for people seeking care by helping health care providers understand the needs of the vulnerable patient population and the resources available to treat the whole person.” The group plans more mobile CART events, with the next one set for Sept. 23 at TLC Meals on Wheels, 7300 S. Clermont Drive in Centennial. “This feels like a small community, but some people don’t know about all of the resources that are out here,” said Bernadette Frausto of Doctors Care.
to move the assessment back one step to when they file a site-development plan. “You don’t start making the rules after the game’s been played,” agreed Councilor Bruce Beckman. City Manager Michael Penny has noted that Colorado’s pending-ordinance doctrine means the fees would apply to any application on the table when council approved the legislation creating the fees on first reading July 16. During the meeting, he noted that the fees will be refined once actual costs are better established, and that council will always have the opportunity to create exemptions. The fees will be dedicated to expanding the physical assets of Littleton Fire Rescue, Littleton Museum, Bemis Public Library, Littleton Police Department, transportation and other city-owned facilities.

Hudson glad he gave up his day job
More than 100 classic cars and 35 vintage aircraft helped raise awareness — and financial support — for the Morgan Adams Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving survival rates of children diagnosed with cancer. The annual Concours d’Elegance, held Aug. 24 in Centennial, attracted hundreds of patrons for an evening of fun and fundraising.
Wings, wheels fight cancer
One of the largest collections of rare vehicles and historically significant aircraft made its way to Centennial Airport on Aug. 24 for the Morgan Adams Foundation Concours d’Elegance, an annual charity auction and fundraiser for children diagnosed with cancer. More than 100 classic cars, 35 vintage aircraft and a handful of rare motorcycles served as the centerpiece for the $150-per-person event. The group works with leading physicians to directly fund pediatric cancer research and therapies to improve survival rates and reduce side effects. The foundation is named for the daughter of founders Steve Adams and Joan Slaughter. The 6-year-old girl died of brain cancer in 1998.
And to think I remember Andrew Hudson when he was a mere press secretary for Mayor Wellington Webb. Now the oncefledgling spokesmodel is all grown up and recently celebrated his rise to major mogul-dom with what started as a hobby. Last week, Hudson marked the fifth anniversary of AH Jobs List, the go-to online source for job seekers and job givers. Little did he know that, in 2008, the country’s economy was on the precipice of collapse and his business model would be invaluable to displaced workers struggling to recover from lost jobs. So five years ago, Hudson took what began as a hobby producing a single-page Xeroxed list and elevated it to the go-to jobs site with more than 25 million page views (www.ahjobslist.com). “I had planned on giving the new site three months before making decisions about my future, but the response to the new site was so immediate and overwhelming, I quit my job in less than a week and haven’t looked back since,” Hudson said. “It is truly a joy and a privilege to connect job seekers with this list of positions each week. Daily, I am humbled to hear from job seekers and employers who share stories about job seeking success.”

roath gift enhances Western collection Denver Art Museum receives donation By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcolorado news.com Early in its development, the Denver Art Museum made a commitment to building a strong collection of Western American art, and on Aug. 13, it announced a major gift to that collection, now known as the Petrie Institute of Western American Art. Denver collector Henry Roath, a director of Lincoln Land Company, has pledged to give his fine collection of approximately 50 works of Western, especially Southwestern, art to the Denver Art Museum. Covering the years 1877 to 1972, “Aspen Trees at Twining” by Taos artist Victor Henning is included in the Roath gift of 50 the collection of oils, water- artworks to the Denver Art Museum.

The collection has been on of Artists, including Ernest Blu- tions of Frederic Remington’s menschein’s “Landscape With bronze “Bronco Buster,” “The loan to the museum, and most Indian Camp” (1920).

if you Go The Denver Art Museum is located on 13th Avenue, between Broadway and Bannock Streets. It is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays to Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays.

In addition to the large collection, Roath donated $500,000 to establish a fund for future acquisitions, an amount that was matched by other donors. In December, the DAM will host its annual black-tie Collectors Choice fundraising event, which will honor Roath as well as supporters Tom Petrie and Jim Wallace. Proceeds from the event will go to the acquisition fund.
From the City That Never Sleeps to the Mile High City comes the first Denver Beerathon, a sudsy festival that originated in the Big Apple for people who love beer. This is the premiere event for those whose enthusiasm for marathons extends to beer runs. The Denver Beerathon will be held Sept. 14 and takes participants on an all-day tasting journey through 26 bars (yikes!) located throughout Denver’s downtown and Highland neighborhood. And the Beerathon is quaffing for a cause. A portion of proceeds will go to Excelsior Youth Center. Drinking craft beer has never felt this good. Tickets are $55 per person or $70 for VIP, which includes early check-in and a VIPonly party at Fado Irish Pub with prizes and giveaways. For tickets, go to www. denverbeerathon.com.
More than one kind of draft
The Tavern group of neighborhood restaurants is running a fantasy football draft party through Sept. 5. For $100 per party, draft parties at each neighborhood Tavern will receive unlimited draft beer for a two-hour period for up to 12 people. The promotion is not valid after 4 p.m. Fridays and reservations must be made in advance. Free high-speed wi-fi is available at all locations, including Littleton, the Denver Tech Center, Lowry and, for Denver Broncos fans, at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. “We always love it when people choose one of our neighborhood locations as their football headquarters,” said Tavern owner Frank Schultz. For Fantasy Football Draft Party reservations, call 303-226-1555. For location and other information, go to www.tavernhg. com. Parker continues on Page 16

Reminder to artists
Two Colorado towns, Carbondale and Fort Collins, were mentioned in a list of Outside magazine’s 18 best towns to live in. Carbondale, 30 miles north of ski mecca Aspen, was named to list because of its “killer farmers markets on Wednesdays, its quick access to adventure” and plenty of trails for hiking and mountain biking.

Papermaker’s new works exhibited Tomasso has studio in Englewood home
IF YOU GO “Forgotten Latitudes” will be at the Ice Cube Gallery, 3320 Walnut St., Denver, through Sept. 14. Gallery hours: Noon to 6 p.m. Thursdays, Saturdays; noon to 9 p.m. Fridays. 303-292-1822, icecubegallery.com.
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “`Forgotten Latitudes’ is a new series of work in paper, exploring the textures of the blank spaces on maps. It is a search for the isolation, the wind and passage of time that takes place here unnoticed by anyone. The work evokes the names of places that have been changed or have never existed,” said Ray Tomasso’s artist’s statement about his new exhibit at Ice Cube Gallery in Denver, where he has exhibited previously. “Forgotten Latitudes” runs through Sept. 14. Tomasso has lived and worked in Englewood since 1980, with his Inter-Ocean Curiosity Studio, where he pulverizes rags and makes handmade papers, in addition to housing a collection of antique letterpresses. He was born in Omaha, Neb., in 1949, studied art and printmaking and created his first work of art in paper in 1974. He received an MFA in printmaking from CUBoulder in 1979, where he studied with Clinton Cline and Robert B. Ecker. After locating his studio in Englewood, he traveled internationally studying papers, history and techniques in this ancient craft. He was involved in founding the International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists, headquartered in Switzerland. He has exhibited his art locally and internationally and continued to operate his
studio. His website has photographs of the complicated and lengthy process involved in creating each work. He offers a condensed description: “A composition is set up using string, tape, found objects and textures, both found and made. The work to be cast represents a mirror image with the negative space above the composition. “The work is made up of three layers of new, wet handmade paper, dropped from the paper mould. The first two layers are of recycled archival rag paper to capture the texture of the composition, the third layer is blue jean for strength and shrinkage. The result is a sheet of paper 8’x 8’ or 8’x 12’. “This is glued to a wooden frame, sanded, and paint and pure pigment are applied. The surface is finished with layer after layer of paint and pigment with an eye to enhancing the textural qualities of the surface.” His works are abstract and powerful, with varied linear and textural effects, different from most work an art lover sees in this area. When RTD was building the Southwest Light Rail line, Tomasso was commissioned to create art for the Englewood station. It is made of cast glass, with found objects embedded in it, which show when light flows through.
“Crossing the Bosporus” by Ray Tomasso of Englewood is included in “Forgotten Latitudes” works in paper, which opened Aug. 22 at Ice Cube Gallery. Courtesy photo

Linemen ready to rock the block Guards, centers, tackles play a huge role in reaching end zone By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Offensive linemen used to be pictured as big, dumb guys who like to push and knock people around. That stereotype has changed. Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman has an all-senior starting offensive line this season that could physically match up with many college lines. Left tackle Alec Ruth is 6-foot-6, 300 pounds, and right tackle Isaiah Holland is 6-5, 310 pounds. They sandwich guards Ryan Cummings (6-5, 295) and Sam Kozan (6-2, 265) and center Cody Bratten (6-3, 280). Valor’s line averages 290 pounds, but Sherman claims it takes both brawn and brains to be a good offensive lineman. “First, it takes intelligence to be able to diagnose different defensive schemes and be able to adjust on the fly,” said Sherman. “I know sometimes in the world there is a
stereotype of football players not being intelligent, but that is so not true. Our left tackle is being recruited hard by Ivy League schools and our center scored 35 on his ACT and is looking at schools like MIT.” It takes more than just hitting a blocking sled hard to become a good offensive lineman. A potential All-League offensive lineman these days needs to be versatile, quick, explosive off the ball and a technique master to learn various kinds of blocks. “Second, you need kids that want to work hard and aren’t worried about getting the glory,” added Sherman. It’s not a glorious position being an offensive lineman, you have to work and be patient. “Bigger kids, when the ball gets rolled out their freshman year, are not able to play at the level they want because their bodies might be bigger and it might take them a little more time to improve their coordination,” he said. “Some of those kids when they get to their junior and senior years, their hard work starts to pay off. “We are blessed. There are not a ton of teams that can say that both their offensive tackles are being recruited by Pac 12 and Big 12 schools.” Cherry Creek’s offensive line doesn’t Football continues on Page 22
Football Teams At a Glance Football teams at a glance ARAPAHOE
Coach — Mike Campbell 2012 highlights — 4-1 in Super 6 League, 10-2 overall, lost to Valor Christian 49-18 in quarterfinals of the Class 5A state playoffs. Top players — Ethan Brunhofer, TE/SB, 6-2, 205, Sr.; Jose Cancanon, RB, 5-10, 190, Sr.; Gabe Peterson, QB, 6-2, 210, Sr.; Jaylen Mosqueira, LB, 6-0, 200, Sr.; Kyle Foss, DE, 6-1, 210, Sr.; Alex Schmidt, NG, 6-0, 230, Sr. 2013 outlook — The defending Super 6 champion Warriors are such a senior-heavy team that if they stay healthy they will be a tough opponent. Lack of depth could be a problem. Brunhofer, a two-time Super 6 first team selection, is a MaxPreps All-Colorado Pre-season All-State tight end who has caught 90 passes over the past two seasons. Cancanon, a two-year starter, rushed for over 1,400 yards in the 2012 All-League campaign while Peterson is adept at both throwing and running the football. Mosqueira, Schmidt and Foss, third-year starters, are the defensive ringleaders. Say what? — “If we are healthy and can put our best 11 out there on D, I like our chances every week. We’re ready, we want to play. We certainly recognize there are some great teams out there that have great talent, but we think we match up against most of them,” said Campbell.
HERITAGE

Coach — Mike Griebel 2012 — 3-3 in Pioneer League, 4-6 overall. Top players — Connor Cain,OL/ DL, 6-4, 240, Sr.; Kris Median, OL,
6-1,255, Sr.; Steven Gray, LB, 5-10, 200, Sr.; Andrew Shaffer, DB, 6-0, 175, Sr.; Austin Atwell, OL, 6-0, 210, Sr.; Frank Umu, DL, 6-5, 275, Jr.; Weston Gardner, DL, 6-2, 200, Jr.; Jack McGough, RB, 6-1, 165, Jr.; Tyler Sodia, RB/DB, 5-9, 175, Jr. 2013 outlook — Eagles will have good experience up front on both sides of the ball. Skill players are exceptional but young as many sophomores are expected to be on the field this season. Griebel, who has been a head coach for 18 seasons, will need to be patient early in the season. Say what — “We will be fun to watch as we will be maturing every week, being so young,” said Griebel. “We may have a slow start, but could become a factor late.”
LITTLETON
Coach — Kurt Krantz 2012 highlights — 1-4 in Class 4A Plains League, 2-8 overall. Top players — Nick McNamee, OB/S, 6-0, 175, Sr.; Sean Malloy, OL/ DL, 6-3, 260, Sr.; Austin Sonju, RB/ LB, 5-8, 185, Sr.; Austin Biecher, WR/ LB, 6-4, 185, Sr.; Wyatt Keasling, OL/ LB, 6-0, 185, Sr.; Dante Tucker, RB/LB, 5-9, 235, Sr. 2013 Outook — Lions have a new coaching staff as Krantz, a Cherry Creek graduate and former head coach at Rangeview, takes over the helm of a program that has gone 5-25 over the past three years. Krantz was forced to speed up the introductory phase of his coaching philosophy because Littleton opened the season Aug. 23 with a Zero Week game against Standley Lake. Say what? — “Our kids had a great spring and worked hard this summer,” said Krantz.

measure up to Valor’s in size, as the Bruins put a premium on agility. “It obviously starts up front on both sides of the ball,” said coach Dave Logan. “If you are not good up front on offense or defense, you are going to have a hard time winning. “This year our biggest offensive linemen will be about 235 to 240 pounds. We ask them to do a lot of different things. So being mobile is as important to us as being really, really big. We ask them to zone block, we’ll run different concepts to the running game, power, counter, toss, and we ask them to pass block.” Development takes time. “There are a lot of things we are asking that take time for guys to feel comfortable with, and sometimes time is a full year,” emphasized Logan. “We throw a lot at these kids and we ask a lot of them. Back in the old days of just lining up in a three-point stance, getting off the ball and blocking for a running game, those days have been long gone for a lot of people.” Sherman isn’t shy about reminding his

offensive linemen about basics. “They can’t get tired of doing the fundamentals,” he said. “They have to continue to prefect their craft from pass protection to run blocking. I believe the attention to detail is important in every position, but it is just magnified at the line of scrimmage. “Oftentimes if you hear a lineman’s name called, it is because of something they did not do well. It takes a certain type of kid to have that character and we’re blessed to have a group of those kids.” Other area teams also have good high school offensive linemen that have been doing well. Jamin Smith, Nick Viola and Adam Tate will help provide running lanes for Trey Smith at Douglas County. Brandon Reidemann, Brandon Leahy, Jacob Hunt and Austin Skinner will form part of a solid Chaparral offensive line, while highly recruited Sam Jones, Blake Jacobs and Brendan Chase return at ThunderRidge. “The offensive line is perhaps the most important group on the field,” said Chaparral coach John Vogt. “Typically linemen are hard workers and tough guys. They must run block and pass protect and they are involved in collisions on every play. They must be strong, tough and have athletic ability.” A few of the other top area linemen in-

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ROUNDUP Valor coach wins in first game
Rod Sherman won his first football game as Valor Christian head coach Aug. 24, but said his team had a lot of room for improvement. Sherman, however, might have trouble convincing an ESPN2 audience or the crowd at Valor’s stadium that any upgrades were needed after the Eagles whipped Central East (Fresno, Calif.) 31-7 in a seasonopening game that was called at 11:30 p.m. because of lightning in the area. There was still 4:08 left in the third period when the game was halted, but Valor was in control against the top-notch California team that was loaded with potential Division I college prospects. “That was as athletic of a team that we’ve ever played,” said Sherman, who is also Valor’s athletic director and former offensive coordinator. “Their running backs were great, their receivers were great. Our guys rose to the challenge. “One win is one win. It means nothing for the rest of the season. We have a lot of improving that we need to go through.” Valor, Colorado’s preseason top-ranked Class 5A team that has won four consecutive state championships, did turn the ball
over three times, but the defense came up with big plays and the offense, triggered by a line that averages 290 pounds, moved up and down the field. Christian McCaffrey, a 5-foot-10, 195-pound senior who has verbally committed to Stanford, showed his quickness and balance to national television onlookers. He finished the abbreviated game with 169 yards on 20 carries and three touchdowns. McCaffrey caught one pass for 20 yards, broke up a fourth down pass when he was inserted on defense and scrambled to get off a left-footed punt after bobbling a low snap from center. Senior safety Marcus Wilson, who has verbally agreed to play at Colorado State, made several big hits and knocked down a pass. “Christian made some incredible runs,” said Sherman. “Marcus made some bigtime plays. He did a good job in coverage.” Sherman also praised senior quarterback A.J. Cecil, who was 4-9-2 for 51 yards and a TD in his first varsity start, and linebackers Justin Falls and Lucas Challenger. Falls had eight tackles to pace the Eagles’ defense while Wilson, Challenger and safety Jace LaMunyon were each in on
seven tackles.
Softball
Douglas County’s softball team got off to a 2-0 start to the season with a 13-0 win over Palmer and a 7-6 victory over Columbine. Senior Correl Breanna pitched a onehit, five-inning shutout in the victory over Palmer, while sophomore Clara Larson was 5-for-8 with four runs scored and five runs batted in during the two victories. Chaparral went 3-1 in games played between Aug. 17 and 24 with wins over Fort Collins, Palmer and Rocky Mountain and a 13-5 loss to Chatfield on Aug. 20. Sophomore Laura Scheffel has gone 7-for-12 (.583) with seven RBIs in the first four games. Jordan Smith, another sophomore, collected eight hits while junior Madeline LaPolla was 7-for-13 (.538). Senior Taylor Saul had three hits in Highlands Ranch’s 11-1 win over Monarch on Aug. 22 … Heritage sophomore Carly Carlsen allowed only one hit in five innings in the Eagles’ 12-0 romp over Doherty Aug. 22 … Arapahoe picked up its first win in three outings with a 17-10 Centennial League triumph over Overland as MacKenzie Azzam contributed three hits includ-

ing a double and triple … Ponderosa beat Vista Ridge 8-2 on Aug. 21 and whipped Liberty 33-3 Aug. 23. Sarah Coleman had three hits and three RBIs in the win over Vista Ridge, and Ally Power’s three hits and 12 strikeouts sparked the win over Liberty. Power collected the pitching wins in both victories.
Boys tennis
Cherry Creek tennis coach Kirk Price has been placed on an indefinite leave because of what the school district called a “personnel matter.” Art Quinn was named as interim head coach. Legend opened its season with a 6-1 win over Highlands Ranch and Rock Canyon notched seven straight set victories in a 7-0 Continental League win over Ponderosa.
Boys golf
After three of five Centennial league meets, Cherry Creek leads with an 886 aggregate followed by Arapahoe at 909 … In the third Continental League meet Aug. 19 at Saddle Rock golf course, Douglas County’s Kyler Dunkle had a 2-under-par 70 and Heritage’s Hunter Lee carded a 1-under 71.

Mother carries on daughter’s dream ‘Run for One’ to raise funds for CURE International By Ryan Boldrey
‘She was a hard worker, very outgoing, and had a heart for helping others.’ Margie Schoedel
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com When Becky Yarberry was killed in a car accident six years ago outside Vail, her mother began to dedicate part of her own life to fulfilling Yarberry’s. Yarberry, employed as an EMT and three weeks shy of her 28th birthday, was heading westbound on Interstate 70 en route to a doctor’s appointment when a woman driving eastbound hit the median, flipped over it and landed her vehicle on top of Yarberry’s. The young woman who had dedicated her life to helping others was pronounced dead on the scene. Much of that time she had spent helping others had been with CURE International — a nonprofit organization that operates hospitals and programs in 25 developing countries worldwide. As part of the program, patients receive surgical treatment regardless of gender, religion, ethnicity or ability to pay. Yarberry had taken numerous trips with the organization to places such as Honduras, where — fittingly — money raised from her memorial went to fund a 20-bed hospital wing in San Pedro Sula, one of the most dangerous cities in the world. Yarberry had spent a lot of time talking with her mother, Littleton resident Margie Schoedel, about CURE, and Schoedel had made plans to go with her on her next trip. While the two were never able to go together, Schoedel, a teacher at Castle View High School, picked right up where her daughter left off and began taking her own trips. “She gave me a lot of gifts and that was one of them,” said Schoedel, who last spring took five Castle View students with her to the Dominican Republic, in addi-
tion to raising $12,000 for CURE during the school’s “make a difference” week. “She was a hard worker, very outgoing, and had a heart for helping others, especially those less fortunate,” Schoedel said of her daughter. “What I’m trying to do for Becky is get the word out about CURE International and raise awareness about the types of diseases these kids are facing such as cleft palate, hydrocephalus and clubfoot.” One of the ways Schoedel is getting the word out is through the Sept. 7 “Run for One” 5K/2K family fun run and walk at Mountainview Community Church in Highlands Ranch. The event, which raised $2,100 for CURE last year through Becky’s Blessings Foundation — a nonprofit founded by Schoedel in 2012 — is in its second year in Highlands Ranch. Schoedel had helped organize triathlons in Avon the previous three years, but thought it would be nice to do something local and more family-focused. “Strollers are welcome, dogs on leash are welcome and we’ll have a bouncy house for the kids, a DJ and a silent auction,” she said. “It’s really a community event. Students who are looking to pick up community service hours can also come and volunteer.” The event is from 9 a.m. to noon Sept. 7 at Mountainview Community Church, 40 E. Highlands Ranch Parkway. To register, visit www.runforone2013.eventbrite.com. To learn more about the nonprofits, visit www. beckysblessings.org and www.cure.org.
