Annual Zombie Crawl brings all kinds to downtown Littleton Staff report
D
owntown Littleton kicked off the Halloween season — which, yes, is a season in Littleton — with the fifth annual Downtown Littleton Zombie Crawl on Oct. 5. Either the event is catching on or the zombie apocalypse has claimed many more victims, as it draws a bigger crowd each year. Instinctively, hundreds of zombies of all ages gather at Woodlawn Shopping Center at 11 a.m., then stagger down Main Street in a quest to quench their undying need for brains. But instead of feasting on hapless Littleton citizens, Reinke Brothers Halloween and Costume Store lures them in with roasted pig — apparently close enough for zombie sensibilities. The next thing you’ll notice are the pumpkin poles on Main Street, which you’ll just have to see to understand. They herald the return of the Pumpkin Follies and Goat Show, Oct. 11 in Reinke’s parking lot. Visit for a talent show, spoof of Littleton events and one-of-akind acts. Admission is $5; drinks and food will be available for purchase. POSTAL ADDRESS

Littleton City Council punted on pot Oct. 1, voting 6-1 to extend the moratorium on retail sales by another year. “It kicks the can down the road for another year, and I’m willing to do that to avoid the risk of anything less,” said Mayor Debbie Brinkman. Councilor Jim Taylor was the only holdout. “I believe the voters expect us to approve retail sales of marijuana in the city,” he said. “Littleton has a chance to be a leader.” A half-dozen people appeared at the podium to urge council to allow the sales, and one woman implored them to enact a ban. “Say nope to the sales of dope,” was Susan Nies’ rallying cry. She worried the approximately $120,000 in taxes that retail marijuana would raise for the city wouldn’t be enough to cover what she anticipates would be the resultant increase in crime, accidents and “other collateral damage.” Taylor, on the other hand, thought the money could go a long way toward supporting social amenities like the Omnibus and Littleton Museum. “It doesn’t seem right to ban us before we have a chance to show we can do a good job, to show we can do a professional job,” said James Van Diest, owner of The Hemp Center on Main Street, noting Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens’ comment during council’s last meeting that there had been no problems associated with any of the city’s four medical marijuana dispensaries. “Kids might get it from their brother, kids might get it from the black market, but they won’t be getting it from legal stores,” he said. Brinkman wasn’t buying that argument. “The schools have said, `Please don’t continue to make this more accessible than it already is. Please don’t continue to desensitize these kids,’” she said. “We are the enemy of many because of the strength of our school system, and I’m going to listen to them.” Shawn Hauser, director of the marijuana-advocacy organization Sensible Colorado, stressed the 160 pages of regulations retail sellers are subject to, saying it leads to a safer product. “I think if Littleton decides to opt out, it’s opting into the black market,” she said.

Initiatives face some opposition Citizen groups have divergent views of ballot issues By Jennifer Smith
and that’s what it is that affects the public, not the process that led up to it.’ Jim Taylor, city councilmember
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Supporters of Citizens for Rational Development, which officially registered as an issues committee this year, have been beating the streets to get the word out about two initiatives they petitioned onto the upcoming ballot, both of which they believe will give Littleton residents a stronger voice in local government. “An open and transparent government is the best kind of government for our citizens,” said Carol Brzeczek, who sponsored the initiatives along with Frank Atwood, Betty Harris, Jose Trujillo and Mary Bradford. Not everyone is so sure. Citizens for Littleton’s Future, which registered as an issues committee in 2007 and lists local real-estate agent Stewart Meagher as its representative, is opposed to both initiatives, saying they are more stringent than state law. Additionally, Councilor Jim Taylor tried unsuccessfully to get council to approve competing ballot items. “I wanted to counterbalance what Carol put on there to limit us to very restricted things we can do,” he said. “I was trying to get before the voters an alternative that says this is what we do, and compare that to what her proposal was. It was just to let the public see what the differences were and make a decision. It would have given them a choice.” Brzeczek says voters do have a choice — yes or no.
Ballot initiative 303
‘The bottom line is the settlement was made,
Ballot initiative 301
CRD’s first proposal is to limit city council’s use of executive sessions. If it passes, council could only meet behind closed doors to discuss matters state and federal law require be kept confidential, such as personnel matters and lawsuits that have actually been filed. It would prohibit council from turning off the recording when receiving legal advice, which they are now allowed to do, and require them to keep all tapes until all the councilors are no longer on council. It would mean that decisions on legal settlements, land and labor negotiations and certain personnel matters regarding council’s direct charges — the city manager, city attorney and the municipal judges — would now be made publicly. Brzeczek notes that Boulder has done away with executive sessions and is still managing to function. “But they’ve been cautioned not to do `daisy-chaining,’” she said, whereby one councilor calls another who calls another and so on. “I would hope that this council and future councils would work within what voters will hopefully change about how they conduct their business.” Citizens for Littleton’s Future says not allowing council to instruct negotiators privately restricts its ability to be a good stew-
ard of taxpayer money. “The unintended consequence is that the city staff will become synthesizers of varied input from individual council members, or that the negotiation parameters will occur like playing poker with all the city’s cards face up on the table,” wrote the group for inclusion in the “blue book” election guide. Taylor thinks the proposed changes are impractical. “Boulder meets with legal counsel individually sometimes,” he said. “But if somebody disagrees, you have to start all over. In the meantime, what you were trying to buy goes away. This way, at least we know why we disagree and are accountable to each other.” Brzeczek says she’s particularly concerned about council settling lawsuits behind closed doors, so the public only knows the terms and amount of the settlement if they know the case was filed and submit an open-records request. “We just should not have to be in a position, as citizens, of monitoring our councils to ensure they are following the law,” she said. “It will just drive it underground,” counters Taylor. “The bottom line is the settlement was made, and that’s what it is that affects the public, not the process that led up to it.”
CRD’s second initiative addresses the city’s rezoning process. It seeks to require a two-thirds vote of council to approve a project, rather than the simple majority it takes now, in cases where the planning board has voted against it or if 20 percent or more of the site’s neighbors file a protest. The proposed legislation would allow anyone within 100 feet of the affected property to object, regardless of whether they are within the city’s borders. That would have allowed Centennial residents to object to the Littleton Village project on the old Marathon site, for example. “Council wanted to silence that group of people,” said Brzeczek. “Our ballot measure gives the people a voice. It gives them some standing in the decision. We have to be good neighbors. … What a pity it was that they had to stand back and just watch that happen.” But Taylor notes there are instances where just one person could shut down a project under Brzeczek’s proposal. For example, council in August approved the Meadows at Platte Valley, a 250-unit apartment complex at Mineral Avenue and Platte Canyon Road. Just one person who lives in the adjacent Pinnacle Apartments is within 100 feet; nobody from the upscale Meadowbrook neighborhood across Mineral would have a say in the matter. Citizens for Littleton’s Future says things are fine the way they are. “Littleton has done well, and every residence within the city has four representatives on the council: three at large, and their own district council member,” writes C4LF. “The constrained spacing requirement and inordinately narrow percentage threshold negatively impact and constrain real property ownership and use rights.” Election Day is Nov. 5, but ballots will go out in the mail next week.
Lockheed Martin announces furloughs Effects on Waterton facility unclear at this time By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Lockheed Martin, a major employer in the south-metro region, is furloughing 3,000 employees starting Oct. 7 as a result of the government shutdown. “Today’s announcement affects all our business areas across the country,” Gary Napier, local spokesman for the company, said without confirming whether the Waterton Canyon facility will be impacted specifically. “We remain in discussions with our customers to assess individual program impacts. This is an ongoing situation and it’s premature to say where the immediate effects are right now.” The number of employees affected is expected to increase weekly in the event of a prolonged shutdown, according to a press release. This includes employees who work in a government facility that’s been closed and those whose projects require a government inspection that can’t be completed, or when Lockheed receives a stop-work order from a customer. “I’m disappointed that we must take these actions, and we continue to encourage our lawmakers to come together to pass a funding bill that will end this shutdown,” said Marillyn A. Hewson, Lockheed’s chief executive officer and president. “In an effort to minimize the impact on our employees, we are directing affected employees to use available vacation time so they can continue to receive their pay and benefits. We hope that Congress and the administration are able to resolve this situation as soon as possible.” During last December’s South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce Economic Forecast Breakfast, Joe Rice, Lockheed Martin Space Systems director of government relations and former state representative
from Littleton, addressed what was then the looming fiscal cliff that led to the sequestration. “It’s not a question of if it’s resolved,” said Rice. “It’s more of how it will be addressed.” Rice noted that Lockheed has plenty to lose, as its major customers are government and defense contractors such as the Air Force. Lockheed issued a press release in March, after sequestration went into effect, that predicted such furloughs could happen. “We deeply regret the effect that sequestration is having on our dedicated and hard-working employees,” read a press release issued at the time. “While we await more specific direction from our government customers, we are concerned with the lack of progress toward a solution to reverse the negative impacts of sequestration. We continue to assess the likely impact that sequestration will have on our programs and have taken steps to manage its effect on our employees and our business. However, while we understand that the impacts are likely to play out over a period of time, we continue to believe that sequestration will lead to furlough in some situations and could trigger layoffs resulting in WARN notices to thousands of our current employees. This is a very difficult time for our employees and their families, and the thousands of supplier companies that we depend on to support our customers’ mission. “The fiscal impasse continues to greatly complicate our ability to plan, make necessary capital investments, and recruit and hire the next generation of science and engineering talent. We urge our elected leaders to make it a priority to reverse sequestration before it causes more serious damage and find a more workable and permanent solution to the fiscal challenges our nation faces.” Lockheed continues on Page 4

Draft comprehensive plan presented by board Slow-moving process makes another step
‘The board has taken their charge seriously and has done a great job of maintaining a focus on providing
By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton’s planning board has released the draft of its proposed comprehensive plan and set a public hearing for Oct. 14. “Littleton is a community that embraces its authentic small-town qualities while enjoying the advantages of a metropolitan area,” reads its introduction. “The city should continue to exemplify and promote a sustainable economy, environment and society.” Required by state law, the comprehensive plan guides the evolution of the city and is supposed to reflect the residents’ desires. It tends to emphasize things like community character over specifics like lighting and height requirements, which are dealt with in zoning laws. The city has been trying to update the 1981 document since 2005. Over the summer, it held a number of neighborhood meetings, sent out surveys and launched the Inspire Littleton website, which now
clear direction for the city’s future.’ Dennis Swain, principal planner has 622 participants offering ideas for how to improve the city. “Even though each of the ideas and comments generated in the public outreach process doesn’t appear in the plan, the plan provides a framework that is intended to be consistent with and support the public comments,” said Dennis Swain, principal planner for the city. “Now that the draft plan is available, we’re asking the people who have provided ideas and comments to read the plan and let us know if we have been successful in providing a framework for their ideas and, if not, what changes should be made to be consistent with those comments.”
Creating the plan is up to the planning board, but city council must ultimately approve it. “The board has taken their charge seriously and has done a great job of maintaining a focus on providing clear direction for the city’s future,” said Swain. “Although there is always a strong temptation to complete all elements of the comprehensive plan simultaneously, the board determined that it was critical for the city that they complete the citywide plan now rather than waiting for other elements to be completed. The citywide plan will provide the direction for all of the other supporting plans.”
In the document, the planning board recommends updating existing neighborhood plans and corridor studies, as well as creating plans for neighborhoods that didn’t exist in 1981. The draft lists three “transformative actions” that the board calls the most critical steps to achieving the city’s vision: highlighting the river, focusing on activity areas and corridors and directing Littleton’s growth. “Each action requires a comprehensive and long-term commitment, concerted effort and collaboration between the public and private sectors,” it reads. The draft can be reviewed at www.littletongov.org. The public hearing is Oct. 14, 7 p.m. at the Littleton Center, 2255 W. Berry Ave. Prior to that, citizens can submit comments to cdds@littletongov.org or Comprehensive Plan Comments, Community Development Department, City of Littleton, 2255 W. Berry Ave., Littleton, CO 80120. Following the public hearing, the board members will meet again to review what they heard from the public and make a recommendation to city council. City council will hold its own public hearing on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m.
A brief history of Littleton’s attempts to create a comprehensive plan By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com In 2005, the Littleton Planning Board tasked a citizen’s advisory committee with gathering information on which to base the Complan. Some people were concerned that its recommendations were too focused on development and not enough on preservation. The plan was almost done in 2007, when the “Sunshine Boy” council led by Mayor
Doug Clark was seated. The council felt the process had been too “top down” from a government trying to sway citizens toward modern concepts like mixed-use development. They appointed fellow Sunshine Boys to the planning commission and told them to start over. That didn’t end so well in 2011, when council tried to make a number of changes to the only part of the Complan its board had completed, pertaining to downtown. Things got testy between Clark and former board chair Norm Brown. “You’re moving in a direction that doesn’t

respect the state statute and doesn’t respect the opinions from all the meetings planning commission has had,” said Brown. The meeting, and Clark’s tenure on council, ended with council sending the plan back to the board with recommended changes. Enter the current council — along with a new city manager and a new economicdevelopment director. The downtown plan was approved in January 2012, and the city went to work soliciting thoughts from citizens for the rest of the city in a series of neighborhood meet-
ings, surveys and the Inspire Littleton website. City Manager Michael Penny has indicated he doesn’t love the downtown plan, and he’s proud to see growth occurring. Most of council agrees, recently approving apartment projects for downtown and County Line Road. “It is a living document, but this document is outliving everyone who’s ever worked with it,” said Councilor Jerry Valdes, who was on the 2005 planning commission whose work got rejected by the 2007 council.
South Suburban to hold budget hearing Fees could rise for many activities Staff report South Suburban Parks and Recreation District has rescheduled its regular October board meeting, normally held the second Wednesday of the month. Instead, the meeting will be held on a Tuesday, Oct. 15, because several board members will be attending the National Recreation and Park Association’s annual conference the week of Oct. 6. The public meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at Goodson Recreation Center, 6315 S. University Blvd., in Centennial. Staff will present the board-recommended capital improvements and proposed fees and charges for the District’s 2014 budget. South Suburban’s 2014 operating budget is $50 million, and top priorities include sufficient funding to operate and maintain the district’s assets, including parks, trails, open space and recreation facilities. Examples of proposed fees for 2014 include a $1 increase in 18-hole greens fees for residents and non-residents at district golf courses.

The Waterton facility was built in 1956. It is headquarters and home base for most employees of Lockheed’s Space Systems Company, which employs 3,800 people in Colorado.
Greens fees for seniors will not change. Also recommended is a $1 increase for driving range balls at Family Sports Golf Course. Park shelter rentals for up to 75 attendees would increase by $25-$35 for residents and non-residents; summer day camp fees/ holiday break camp fees would increase from $36 a day to $38 a day for residents, and $47 a day to $50 a day for non-residents; and high school summer lacrosse would increase from $70 to $72 for residents and from $89 to $92 for non-residents. Copies of the proposed budget and fees and charges will be available for public review at the meeting. Copies also can be requested by calling 303-798-5131. The public is invited to attend the meeting, or submit questions and ideas. Citizens will have an opportunity to address the board, regarding requests for new programs or facilities or improvements to existing facilities, parks, trails and open space. The public also may submit ideas to Executive Director, South Suburban Parks and Recreation, 6631 S. University Blvd., Centennial, CO 80121. Fax 303-798-3030; or email: BrettC@sspr.org.

Nursing assistant school a big success Centennial facility training hundreds of health-care providers By George Lurie
glurie@ourcoloradonews.com
You’re never too old to start a new business. Just ask Bernadette Billinger, who took the entrepreneurial leap at age 63. When Billinger, a nurse and former health care administrator, and her partner Lindsay Mulder started the South Denver School of Nursing Arts in Centennial in 2009, they did not expect that in less than four years, their school would be known as one of the best nursing assistant training facilities in the south metro area. Since opening less than four years ago, more than 500 students have graduated from the school. Billinger, who has both an MBA and MSHA (master of science and health administration), serves as the school’s program coordinator, while the much younger Mulder, who is in her mid-30s and currently working on her own master’s degree, serves as the school’s primary instructor. Both Billinger and Mulder worked as RNs and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) instructors at other training facilities before starting the school. web- “There was nothing like this in the southeast metro area and Lindsay and I indi-saw an opportunity,” says Billinger. “I was plan,teaching at the time and wanted to be more ring.in control of my life. As I got older, coming prov-in and punching a time clock just didn’t suit andme anymore. But this does.” Located in a suite on the third floor of an ocu-office building on Arapahoe Road just west everof Interstate 25, class sizes at the school are ldes,limited to 10 students per session. “There’s ssionno standing around or waiting to practice oun-skills,” says Billinger. “Our instructors are always right there beside the students.” Courses last approximately five weeks, after which students take a two-part, writ-

Once licensed, Billinger says, CNAs provide personal care (bathing, dressing, feeding, toileting) to patients in settings that include hospitals, long-term care facilities, hospices and private homes.

Forthe state’s largest minority groups remained visitunchanged between 2010 and 2012, the analysis found. An I-News investigation published earlier this year of six decades of Census data found that minority gains made in key S III,economic and education areas had eroded over time. In many cases, the disparities eoplebetween Latinos, blacks and whites were dingwider in 2010 than they were in the 1960s rado
and 1970s. The latest Census data from the 2012 American Community Survey of states and their largest cities and counties found across-the-board increases in minority high school and college graduation rates since 2010. The percent of black adults 25 years of age and older with college degrees rose from about 20 percent to 24 percent during the two years. That narrowed the Garcia gap with their white counterparts to less than 20 percentage points, compared to 23 percentage points in 2010. White college graduation rates inched up less than 1 percentage point to 43 percent in 2012. As a result, Colorado no longer has the largest gaps in the U.S. between white and black adults. It now ranks third behind Connecticut and Massachusetts, the I-News analysis found. Sharon Bailey, a former Denver Public Schools board member and a member of the Colorado Black Round Table, said the state’s attention to education disparities may be starting to pay off. “I do think there has been a bigger spotlight put on graduation rates and remediation,” Bailey said.

the direct patient-care hours required for admittance into other medical programs, such as radiology or medical school.

The college graduation gap between Latino and white Colorado adults remained unchanged in the new report, exceeding 30 percentage points, and was still the largest in the U.S. Both Latino and black adults continued
to narrow the gaps in high school graduation rates. Black rates rose from 86 percent to 89 percent and Latino rates rose from 65 percent to 68 percent between 2010 and 2012, while white rates stayed at about 96 percent. Both gaps are the smallest since 1960. However, Garcia said most new jobs in the state in the coming years will require more than a high school degree. “A high school degree just isn’t going to cut it,” he said. “When we look at Colorado’s economy, we know that some 70 percent of the jobs that will be created in the next 10 years will require some post-secondary cre-

dentials.” Both Garcia and Bailey said the state needs to step up its efforts on educational attainment. Bailey said Colorado needs to look at factors behind minority successes and replicate them. Garcia said the state should work on eliminating barriers to minorities completing college, such as the high rate of remedial classwork, while expanding programs such as concurrent enrollment, which allows students to take college class while still in high school. “We have to do a better job if we want to have a strong economy long term.”
The gaps in economic areas such as family income and homeownership either remained unchanged or widened slightly between 2010 and 2012, the analysis found. Family income and poverty gaps widened between white and black residents, while homeownership gaps widened between white and Latino households.

Costs uncertain in 51st-state plan Secession might leave urban areas better off By Burt Hubbard
I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS Colorado could stand to benefit financially and would see some improvement in the educational and economic standings of its remaining citizens if 10 northeastern counties should make good on their threat to secede and carve out a new state of North Colorado. By those measures, Colorado’s attitude might be: Have fun out there, new state! But what’s left of Colorado would also lose half of its lucrative oil wells, much of its prime farmland and some of the lowest crime areas in the state. By those measures, Colorado’s attitude might be: Can’t we just all get along? In addition to the 10 northeast Colorado counties that have a secession vote on November’s ballot, Moffat County in far northwest Colorado also will vote on whether to leave. But Moffat apparently wants to become Baja Wyoming. I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS analyzed census, budget, crime and voter records to develop profiles of a new 51st state and a truncated Colorado. Suffice it to say, Colorado would no longer be considered a square state. And, of course, neither would Wyoming, with its new Moffat County panhandle. Residents of the 11 counties will decide next month whether to start the fraughtwith-difficulty political journey to leave Colorado and, in the case of the northeast counties, become a new state. West Virginia was the last state to manage such a separation, in 1863, during the Civil War, a move validated solely by a proclamation from President Lincoln, according to a state website. It isn’t that easy today. One impediment: Colorado and both house of the U.S. Congress would have to agree. But proponents of secession said rural Coloradans are tired of having unpopular laws like stronger gun control and mandatory alternative energy standards forced on them by a Front Range-dominated state Legislature. “What has happened is the urbanization of America has disenfranchised the rural population,” said Jeffrey Hare, one of the organizers of the 51st State Initiative.
Bills caused anger
John Straayer, political science professor at Colorado State University, said bills from the last legislative session appear to have aroused animosity toward the legislature. “In terms of the immediate trigger, guns and probably SB 252 (requiring use of alternative energy resources),” Straayer said. “They allege that it is more than that, not being treated properly by the Legislature on a variety of issues for a long time.” The eventual exodus, if the constitutional minefield could be navigated, would create a North Colorado of about 336,000 people, supplanting Wyoming as the least populous state in the U.S. It would leave Colorado with about 4.7 million residents, dropping it to the 23rd most populous state behind Alabama. One of the key questions is the financial viability of a new state and its impact on the remainder of Colorado. Financially, state government in Colorado would probably come out ahead if the 11 counties left, according to I-News estimates of how much revenue the state receives from the counties compared to expenditures there. The counties generate between $360

A tractor motors past cornfields recently near Eaton in Weld County, which has been the epicenter of a movement to form a 51st state from 10 northeastern Colorado counties. Photos by I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS million and $400 million yearly for the state in sales tax, state income tax and the state’s share of vehicle registration fees. That accounts for about three-fourths of the revenue Colorado receives from those counties each year from taxes and fees. Extrapolating forward, that would be the equivalent of between $500 million and $560 million in revenue lost to the state from the 11 counties. On the other side of the ledger, the state spends about $520 million in the 11 counties for K-12 school funding, incarcerating criminals from the counties, providing Medicaid, running the courts and the state’s share of running one university and three community colleges. Those costs equal about 84 percent of the state’s overall general fund spending in the secession-voting counties. Extrapolating forward, that would come to total spending of about $620 million. Bottom line: Colorado spends between about $60 million and $120 million or more per year in the 11 counties than the revenue it receives. “There’s still a lot of (state) money coming back to these counties,” said Brian Lewandowski, economist with the Leeds Business School at the University of Colorado at Boulder. By comparison, a similar analysis of Denver showed the county provides more tax and fee revenue to the state than it gets back in state funding for programs. “You’ve got densely populated areas where there is a lot of wealth like Denver County and Douglas County,” said Lewandowski.
tions. That’s money that would help run a new state. More than half of Colorado’s oil and gas wells would reside in the new state, mostly in Weld. “It’s pretty amazing the amount of dollars that it generates,” Lewandowsk said. Weld County alone gets 55 percent of its property tax revenue from exploration. That has resulted in a current $100 million county contingency fund and no debt, said Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway, a leading proponent of secession who previously was chief of staff to former U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo. During the recent flooding, the county was able to reopen its roads on its own. “We’ve done this on our own,” Conway said. “We haven’t got help from the state.” Not all politicians in Weld County want to secede. Tom Norton, the mayor of Greeley and former Republican president of the state Senate, wrote in a column in The Greeley Tribune last summer that, while some state decisions have hurt rural Colorado, collaboration with the state, not secession, is the solution. Demographically and politically, the two states — North Colorado and Colorado — would look quite different, the I-News analysis showed. North Colorado would be predominantly Republican, with the fifth highest ratio of Republicans to Democrats in the U.S. Meanwhile, Democrats in Colorado would outnumber Republicans for the first time in years. “We would have a red state and a blue state,” Straayer said.
and Oklahoma, while college graduation rates would rise in Colorado to the second highest in the nation. North Colorado would have among the lowest crime rates in the nation, ranking from fifth to 11th lowest among states for rape, robbery, burglary and car theft. Colorado’s overall crime rates would go up, with motor vehicle theft rates almost three times higher than those of the 51st state. North Colorado would have a higher percentage of families among its households, be younger on average and have a higher percentage of Latinos. In fact, the new state would have the sixth highest percentage of Hispanics in the U.S. But its black population would only be about 1 percent, the fifth lowest in the U.S. And then, of course, there are the issues of marijuana and tornadoes. Legal pot would stop at old Colorado’s borders. About half of the state’s tornados touch down every year in the counties that would leave Colorado. Even if approved by the counties involved, secession would appear to remain a long shot, as it would require both Colorado and federal approval. State ratification could come in a citizens’ initiative — such as the one that legalized recreational marijuana — in a referred ballot measure from the legislature, or in an act of the legislature, said Richard Collins, professor at the University of Colorado School of Law. If that happened, it would then need approval by both houses of Congress.
Figures in dispute
Education disparity
The would-be exiting counties are generally poorer and less educated than the rest of Colorado, according to Census data. College education levels in North Colorado would be on par with those of Tennessee

However, advocates of secession disagree with the I-News analysis and point to their own report that shows the counties break even with state government on spending and revenue. The differences between the two analyses involved spending figures on K-12 education, revenue from the state income tax and severance taxes from oil and gas development. Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office had no comment on what financial impact the secession would have on Colorado. The I-News analysis did not examine how much money the counties currently receive directly from oil and gas opera-
Valdes suggested a vote of the people might be in order. “The city is definitely split on this,” said Valdes, who represents many of those northern voters. “We were elected to make these kinds of decisions,” said Mayor Pro Tem Stahlman. “I think we abdicate our responsibility if we don’t vote on the ordinance that’s before us.” Now another council will have the chance to vote on it, with the moratorium extended to Oct. 1, 2014.

A week to tout value of newspapers Where was it that you heard about the so-called demise of the newspaper? Probably, you read about it in your daily newspaper; because, as Mark Twain, a journalist himself, was able to write to a friend: “The report of my death was an exaggeration.” And a good newspaper will go on to explain the source of the rumor, and if false, will present the facts that debunk it. Well into the 21st century, American newspapers are as relevant as ever, because like other vital segments of their community, they are always at work and always looking to reinvent themselves. We’ve seen this in high-profile deals such as Jeff Bezos’ acquisition of The Washington Post; but we’ve also seen dramatic changes nationally at newspapers large and small, as their news, advertising, marketing and circulation staffs have

question of the week
What was your most unusual present ever? People give gifts of all types, some mundane and some very different. Colorado Community Media asked people in a variety of local locations about an unusual gift they had received.
“The most unexpected gift I ever received was several years ago at Christmas. I expected the usual gifts but my husband surprised me with a very nice camera and a vacation in Hawaii.” — Cheryl Adamson, Englewood
“The most exciting gift I ever received was when my mother gave me a horse for Christmas when I was 13 or 14.” — Vicky Gordon, Phoenix
“I have been thinking and I don’t think anyone has ever given me an unusual gift. I get gifts but they are pretty stock items like socks, shirts and ties.” — Joe Sack, Highlands Ranch
“It was a shirt from my girlfriend that was wrapped in four boxes, in a bag and the shirt was folded up in a box. The shirt was nice and the wrapping made me laugh.” — Victor Limon, Sheridan
letters to the editor a ‘no’ vote on school measures
Locally and on a statewide basis we will once again be asked to increase funding for K-12 education. I am going to vote “no” on both and encourage others to do the same. Locally, while technically not a tax increase, LPS is going to ask for a vote on a bond issue for repair and maintenance for district facilities. Your editorial supports it, largely based on the title of the editorial — “Small price to pay for school repairs.” This always is the justification for every school funding increase of any type. After a while, the numerous small increases add up to a lot of money. And the question that should be asked, is where is all the money gathered in past taxes and bond issues that should have been set aside for this very reason? Maintenances needs should be of no surprise and should have been budgeted for with a fund to address those issues on a ongoing basis. But why do that, when you can go to the taxpayer time after time and continue asking for “just a small increase.” (Or in this case just a small savings passed on to taxpayers. I think it’s time taxpayers do see some savings no matter how small!) And as far as the $1 BILLION dollar increase for school funding on a statewide basis — that should be rejected overwhelmingly. It is obscene to ask for that level of increase when the current system delivers such mediocre results. I know every district will tout its improve-
ment in many areas, but when the system comes up with their own standards and then grades itself on a curve, those results should be seriously questioned. Given that the state already spends 59 percent of its entire budget on K-12 and higher education funding, the last thing they need is another $1 BILLION of our hard earned money.

As a parent of two former students and a longtime Littleton resident, I enthusiastically agreed when Superintendent Scott Murphy asked me to chair the Capital Improvement Planning Committee (CIPC) for Littleton Public Schools in March 2013. The planning committee is comprised of volunteer community members, parents, charter school representatives, and school and district leaders. The committee was charged with “To review the district physical plant, program capacity, and major capital equipment requirements and determine what infrastructure needs may be required during the next five to ten years.” The average age of the buildings in Littleton Public Schools is 50 years old.

stream of conflicting information disseminated by political partisans and vested interests. In the past year, newspapers were the leading source of information on these stories of vital importance in their communities and nationwide: • The Denver Post conveyed news via text, social media and video regarding the attack that killed 12 people attending a movie in Aurora, while the tragic events still were occurring. • The Tennessean in Nashville called attention to Tennessee’s Department of Children’s Services’ inability to account for the deaths or near-deaths over a threeyear period of approximately 200 children who were in custody or whose welfare was being monitored by the state. The reports led to the department head’s resignation
and a restructure of the department. • An investigation by The Sun Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., uncovered widespread cases of off-duty police officers’ reckless driving. In each case, the newspaper lived up to its role as a voice for the entire community it serves. Despite all the obituaries being written about newspapers, we look at these examples and many more and find that newspapers are amazingly spry and alert — and always at work.

In-between is really middle of nowhere Some of you may remember the Gerry Rafferty song, “Stuck in the Middle,” and then again, since it was written and first performed in 1972 by Stealers Wheel, maybe there are more of you who don’t have a clue about what I am referring to. That’s OK. The point is this: Are you stuck in the middle? Are you in the middle of a project, the middle of a decision, the middle of a quarrel, or just stuck in the middle of anything? You see, it’s the middle that gets us. It’s not the “yeses” or the “noes” that derail us, it is the “maybes” that bring us the greatest frustration. It’s when we get paralyzed by indecision or suffer paralysis by analysis as we overthink each and every single thing we do. You know what I mean, right? It’s that in-between stuff that really muddles the middle. Those “tweener” situations where we do not know if we are in or out, or on which side, or whose side we will fall. The real questions are why and how we find ourselves in this position. Is it because we are over-accommodating and work so hard at pleasing everyone that we find ourselves in the middle so that we do not offend anyone? And you know what happens when we are in a relationship, friendship, or partnership and both people strive to accommodate the other person, it’s like ending up in a reverse arm wrestling match. Instead of

strenuously trying to “push” our opponent’s hand to the table, both sides try and let the other person win and end up in an extreme game of tug of war as we “pull” our own hands toward our side of the table. What are we afraid of? Are we fearful that we may make the wrong decision? Here’s the deal, we can make and will make a million wrong decisions in our life. But there is nothing we can ever do, within reason, that will torpedo our lives or our relationships or any business venture that we are pursuing that cannot be overcome as long as our decisions are in alignment with our values. And as Roy Disney said, “It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.” It’s when we don’t put our stake in the ground and waffle about everything we need to do that places us in a perpetual state of limbo and unable to move forward. And we usually choose not to take a stand Norton continues on Page 9

Clerk’s office makes changes for residents
While my first six months in office as the Arapahoe County clerk and recorder have gone by very quickly, I am pleased to report that we have accomplished a great nel deal in that short amount of time. Here is what we accomplished thus far: de• We have extended our office hours. Our offices are now open until 5 p.m., p to Monday through Friday. By expanding nity office hours, we are increasing access to our services for the citizens of Arapahoe County. • We have created an online motor vee hicle title registration quote tool, allowing t ert you to get an idea of what it will cost to title your vehicle before coming to our office. • We are now issuing marriage and civil union licenses at our Byers Branch Office. urn, • We have started cross-training an, employees across departments to create As- greater flexibility and efficiency by helpnal ing us meet statutorily required deadlines while avoiding overtime. • We have redesigned our elections website, www.arapahoevotes.com, to make
it more user-friendly. On this site, citizens can verify their voter registration, identify and find contact information for their elected officials, track their mail ballot, see the latest county voter registration numbers, and much more. • We have increased our presence and messaging on social media, and are working to better inform our citizens of what is happening in our offices. Please follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and Instagram. • We have added additional mail ballot
drop-off locations in southeast Aurora, Strasburg and Deer Trail. Over the course of the next year, we will work to continue this mission, including: • We will reduce wait times and lines in our motor vehicle and driver’s license departments by deploying a queuing system that will allow us to guide customers to specific representatives who can meet their needs quickly and efficiency. This system also will allow us to monitor demand for our services in order to deploy additional resources when necessary. Wait times will be posted for these departments online so that our citizens can plan their visits accordingly. • We will redesign our Byers Branch Office to make it more accessible for our citizens with disabilities. • We will continue cross-training employees across departments for greater efficiency and flexibility. • We will prepare for the 2014 primary and general elections under the guidelines of our 2013 legislation that will affect our
mail ballot and same day voter registration processes. We will look to implement these changes as part of our mission to conduct fair, transparent, and secure elections. As you can see, we have accomplished a great deal over the first six months, but we know we still have a ways to go. We are excited about these changes that improve our ability to provide our citizens the best service possible while protecting taxpayer dollars. It is an honor to serve as your clerk and recorder. If you have ideas for how we can better serve you, please let us know at clerk@ arapahoegov.com. My staff and I look forward to seeing you in our offices soon.
world pooled their resources to ensure that no one in their community went without food or shelter. They rigged a makeshift pulley system to carry food, medicine, and supplies to people stranded on the other side of Little James Creek and built impromptu bridges with donated lumber. In Boulder, the University of Colorado football team swapped helmets for hairnets and served hot meals to first responders and families who had been evacuated. In Greeley, local businesses organized a Family Fun Night for children who were forced to leave their homes, and in Miliken, a selfless farmer turned a floodgate valve to divert overflowing waters away from homes and into his own crops. These stories of teamwork and resilience are ones that politicians in Washington would do well to follow. Congress
has failed to pass a farm bill or take action to fix our broken immigration system. It has not made progress on an energy plan or taken serious steps to improve our infrastructure or education system. Now the debate has spiraled into a shouting match risking the full faith and credit of our country and we’ve had the first shutdown of our government in 17 years. When Coloradans faced a crisis they came together, rolled up their sleeves, and went to work. Washington should do the same and reach across the aisle to find common-sense, middleground solutions on issues like immigration and our debt and deficit.
Matt Crane, Arapahoe County’s clerk and recorder, was appointed earlier this year, following former clerk Nancy Doty’s election as an Arapahoe County commissioner.
D.C. should follow example of Colorado As Congress wastes time in endless debate over shutting down the government and allowing the nation to default on its debt, Coloradans are working together and recovering in the aftermath of unprecedented flooding. The heroism and generosity we’re seeing in Colorado both during and after the flood is in stark contrast to the ideology and bluster coming out of Washington. In Colorado, we had a year’s worth of rainfall in one day alone. It led to historic floods that caused unimaginable destruction. The disaster damaged more than 18,000 homes, forced tens of thousands of Coloradans to evacuate, flooded hundreds of agricultural fields and pastures, and crippled infrastructure. Roughly 50 bridges and more than 200 miles of major roadways were destroyed. In total, the floodwaters consumed more than 2,000 miles across 17 counties. Most tragic of all, we lost nine lives. In the face of this tragedy and destruc-

critical needs. These critical needs include such items as replacement of heating and cooling systems, roofs, and outdated security and safety systems. Two years ago, the district refinanced its existing loans to take advantage of histori-
tion we witnessed the resilience, courage, and selflessness of Coloradans from across the state. It has been inspiring. From the first responder who rescued Lyons resident Cheron Boland in the bucket of an excavator to the Boulder Flood Relief volunteers who have been going door-to-door helping homeowners shovel mud from their houses, we have seen Coloradans of all different ages, backgrounds, and beliefs pull together to overcome this tragedy.

School Board candidateS
Perez has long Jones calls for schools to thrive helped district By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Dallas Jones is one of five people running for three open seats on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education. The Centennial resident was a stayat-home dad until the younger of his two daughters graduated from Arapahoe High School last spring. With a master’s degree in management, his background is in business and computer science. He works as an independent financial-systems consultant. He is excited about the possibilities of alternate forms of delivering curriculum, and puts forth Khan Academy as an example. It’s a free online resource that lets anyone, anywhere take classes, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave it $1.5 million in 2010 to expand. The Los Altos School District in California is piloting it. Colorado Community Media asked the following questions of the candidates in the school-board race. Below are Jones’ answers. Why are you seeking this office? I want to ensure LPS doesn’t simply exist, but that it continues to thrive. To be successful, we must continue to provide an educational experience superior to surrounding public and private school competitors. My priorities are to 1) maintain a safe and rewarding learning environment for both the educator and the student, 2) maintain enrollment at schools currently at full capacity and increase enrollment at schools where excess capacity exists, 3) motivate students and families to take responsibility for their own education, and 4) seek opportunities where we can lever our instructional resources with applied technology. What makes you the best person for the job?
First, I’m trained and experienced in directing organizations and efforts on both a large and small scale. Second, I bring skills and perspectives that are different yet complementary to the existing LPS team. I have an arms-length connection with the district enabling me to offer an independent viewpoint. Finally, I’m a team player and not the predetermined answer man. Instead I’m able to isolate the issues, ask the pertinent questions, and frame the discussion in a way that encourages all parties to participate in a Jones collaborative solution. What do you believe is the most important issue facing Littleton Public Schools and how will you approach it, if elected? Our biggest challenge is to continue delivering an outstanding education while coping with a constantly changing environment. Families have more educational choices than ever, and neighboring public and private schools are raising their game. Meanwhile, our in-district, school-age population continues to decline slightly, and we rely on funding from a taxpayer base whose economic future is uncertain. Also, schools are being forced to divert valuable time and effort away from instruction to comply with a disjointed set of mandates coming from the state and federal levels. If elected, I will 1) work to understand the needs of families with students, 2) prepare our students with not only postsecondary and workforce skills, but also instill in them a sense of responsibility and self sufficiency, and 3) work with our community and elected officials to comply with mandates in a way that doesn’t diminish the quality of education LPS delivers.
By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Kelly Perez is one of five people running for three seats on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education. Perez has lived in Centennial for 19 years, raising five kids in the district. She’s been on nearly every LPS committee and served as president of the parent-teacher organizations at Damon Runyon Elementary, Powell Middle School and Arapahoe and Heritage high schools — the last two at the same time. Prior to having kids, she was a social worker. More recently, she says she took a leave of absence from her job as an education consultant at Xerox to run her campaign. Her youngest two kids are still in the district, one in sixth grade at Powell and the other a sophomore at Arapahoe. Colorado Community Media asked the following questions of the candidates in the school-board race. Below are Perez’s answers. Why are you seeking this office? My father used to say, “One thing no one can ever take away from you is your education,” and that has stayed with me. I have a passion for education. I want to keep striving to maintain the comprehensive educational opportunities that LPS offers. I want our high school graduates to receive a worldclass education that will help them succeed in a global society. I want our board to keep striving for excellence and always look to the horizon to keep pace with the ever-changing future. I am running also to ensure that teachers are supported to do what they do best. What makes you the best person to do the job? I have extensive experience with
LPS and have invested 19 years of my life ensuring its continued success, with duties ranging from room parent to chairing the District Accountability Committee. I was also involved in the 2010 mill levy, being PTO and school accountability at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Put simply, I have a panoramic view of LPS. Over the many years of my involvement in LPS, I have developed a passion for literacy as the fundamental building block of student’s success. I also have the vision to maintain LPS as a place where students Perez get a world-class educational experience. What do you believe is the most important issue facing Littleton Public Schools and how you will approach it, if elected? School funding is the most important issue facing Littleton Public Schools. Presently, our schools’ infrastructure average age is about 50 years old and in need of repairs. We need to provide a safe and modern environment for our students and teachers. There will be a school bond proposal to the voters in November, which if approved, will do much to modernize the current infrastructure. I am a supporter of this initiative. Potential increases in classroom sizes and changing demographics will also pose challenges, which we will need to prepare for. We are fortunate in LPS that the community has a history of always supporting our schools. I would take great effort in fostering and advancing the parent-teacher and community-school relationships that will make LPS to be even stronger in the future. I am champion for excellence in our schools.

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Carrie Warren-Gully is one of five people running for three open seats on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education. Carrie Warren-Gully lost to Nancy Doty in last year’s Arapahoe County commissioner race, but she’s been a volunteer in LPS for 13 years. Notably, she chaired the committee that got the 2010 mill levy passed despite the recession. She’s also volunteered with Great Education Colorado, Boy Scouts, 9News Health Fair and St. Andrew United Method Church. A Centennial resident, her three boys all went to Sandburg Elementary School, Newton Middle School and Arapahoe High School. With her oldest off to college, she’s now had the LPS experience from beginning to end and been active at the school and district levels throughout. Colorado Community Media asked the following questions of the candidates in the school-board race. Below are Warren-Gully’s answers. Why are you seeking this office? We all know that Littleton Public Schools is one of the greatest school districts around. My husband Jim and I have raised three boys in Cen-
tennial, and they have attended LPS their entire school careers. I am running for school board because I want to continue the great work of this district. Additionally, I am very concerned about the ongoing mandates and requirements we see from the Colorado State Legislature. New laws that have been passed over the course of the past five Warren-Gully years are unprecedented and continue to drain time from the classroom and the district budget. What makes you the best person for the job? I believe that public education is the most important element of our democracy. Without education for all our children, regardless of their background, we will fail as a nation and not be ready for the global economy of today. Through my volunteer service over the past 12 years, I have an expansive view of the district from elementary to high school and an awareness of the diversity of schools and families we have across the dis-
trict. In addition to serving as PTO president at all levels and as chair of the District Accountability Committee, I chaired the 2010 successful mill levy campaign. What do you believe is the most important issue facing LPS and how will you approach it, if elected? Issues that will demand our attention are financial constraints due to budget cuts and unfunded state mandates. The majority of bills passed in our state legislature regarding education do not include funding to pay for implementation. We as a state cannot continue to put more on the plates of schools without adequate funding to implement them. Financially our district is running very lean. Over the past three years we have lost $17 million in funding from the state. If the budget cuts and unfunded mandates continue we could potentially see larger classroom sizes and a reduction in program offerings. I would work to make sure we continue to be smart with our money, looking for more efficiencies and fostering community partnerships to make every dollar count. Furthermore, I would work with our legislators to make sure they understand the true economic impacts of their decisions on our children.

SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES
Reutzel praises Reichardt has schools’ success research view By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Jack Reutzel is one of five people running for three open seats on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education. Reutzel, an attorney, is a 20-year resident of Bow Mar. His son graduated from Littleton High School and his daughter is a sophomore at Heritage. Colorado Community Media asked the following questions of the candidates in the school-board race. Below are Reutzel’s answers. Why are you seeking this office? I want to be part of a district that is devoted to the success of kids. As a district resident for over 23 years and a parent for 20 years, I have seen the results of great teachers and the lasting effect they have. I have seen engaged parents, coaches and teachers provide great options for after school activities. I understand the value of a great school district ... in terms of home property values, business growth and overall desirability. ... What makes you the best person for the job? I have no agenda other than maintaining the excellence of this district for students and residents. I bring a diverse set of skills to the board. I have volunteered in the district for ten years so I understand how the district works, but I also bring a business and legal perspective that allows me to see the bigger picture
for the benefit of the kids. I bring the perspective of a parent to decision making and I am an advocate for kids. I listen and ask questions to try to find consensus in all of my decision-making. What do you believe the most important issue facing Littleton Public Schools and how will you approach it if elected? Maintaining and enhancing the excellence of this district is the most important issue because it will require the manReutzel agement of many moving parts, including: (1) being diligent at the state to advocate for LPS and ensure fair allocation of resources; (2) making sure that we are spending money wisely and with the best interest of the students ...; (3) attracting and maintaining the best teachers and administrators in the state, (4) understanding the changing demographics of the district and vest principals and teachers to accommodate the student, (5) integrating technology into everyday classroom applications and real world settings; (6) taking care of our buildings and infrastructure. My experience will enable me to help lead the district in a consistent, thoughtful and positive manner. I will listen and interact with the three pillars of the district; parents, teachers and administrators to ensure continued success.

provement, measuring progress towards those goals, aligning resources to meet the goals, and assessing if organizations have met those goals. ... I have both a systems improvement and a parent’s perspective. What do you believe is the most important issue facing Littleton Public Schools and how will you approach it, if elected? We must maintain high expectations and program accountability. AccountReichardt ability will both focus our work and help communicate to parents and community members the return on their investments in our schools. We need to be able to clearly communicate the value of programs such as PLCs, coaches, and technology. Also, there are a large number of reforms coming from the state level (Colorado Academic Standards, SB 191, READ Act, etc.) which can easily become overwhelming. District leadership needs to make sure that reform pacing and implementation are effective. Finally ... we need to be prepared for the changing populations in our district. Good instruction is the key to meeting the challenges of changing demographics: our teachers need to be able to identify and respond appropriately when students are struggling with classroom expectations and when students have mastered classroom material.
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Robert Reichardt is one of five people running for three seats on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education. The Aberdeen Village resident has a doctorate in public-policy analysis and has worked as an education-policy researcher for the last 15 years. His two daughters opted into Centennial Academy of Fine Arts Education. Colorado Community Media asked the following questions of the candidates in the school-board race. Below are Reichardt’s answers. Why are you seeking this office? I have 15 years of experience helping schools, districts, and states improve their education systems. I will use my background knowledge in education policy and programs to move our schools from good to excellent. ... I have two girls attending third and fifth grade in LPS schools. I want to contribute to keeping this a great place for my family and all LPS families to raise their children. What makes you the best person for the job? My 15 years of experience as an education policy researcher make me the best LPS Board candidate. I am a data geek. This gives me extensive background knowledge of policy context and of education research. I work with schools, districts and states identifying goals for im-

Sometimes instinct just takes over, and when it does, lives can be saved. Meet Richard Mandeville, Daniel Bertram and Troy Steadman, who just happened to be in the right place at the right time, and because of it, will now watch two young boys grow up to become men. Mandeville, a 47-year-old airline pilot from Highlands Ranch, was enjoying a 90-degree, sunny afternoon with his 6-yearold son Jack at Cherry Creek State Park on Sept. 7, when he saw two women in full burqas, running on the beach screaming, pointing to the water shortly before 6 p.m. “The first thing I thought was that is a lot of clothes on for it being so hot,” he said. “They were about 50 yards down the beach, and I looked and saw Daniel coming in with the two boys and just looked at my son and said `follow me now.’” Bertram, a Centennial resident and 2006 graduate of Arapahoe High School, had been at the beach that day with Steadman and some friends. Upon seeing where 5-year-old boys Mutasem Masoud and Ibrahim Bdawi had become submerged, he pulled them both out of the water and raced to shore with a boy over each arm.
It’s the stuff movies are made of. Bertram laid them down and Steadman and Mandeville, who had sprinted onto the scene with his son trailing behind, each began administering CPR. Mandeville had first learned CPR in the 1980s as a cadet at the Air Force Academy, but didn’t think he would ever have to use it. Retrained and certified a year and a half ago, he said instinct just took over. Ten minutes later, amidst panic and yelling from family members, the boys were coughing up water and vomiting. “They were literally dead,” said Bertram, who has since signed up to take CPR, saying he saw firsthand the difference it can make. That difference is life and death, he said, encouraging everyone to take a course. “I’m not a hero, I’m not Superman,” said Mandeville after the three were recognized with life-saving medals by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Oct. 1 in a personal ceremony that involved the boys. “I’m just a guy that had CPR training that was on a beach with his son and ran to help two boys in need. Somehow it all worked out.” For those two boys and their families, however, Mandeville, as well as Steadman and Bertram, are nothing but heroes. “They changed all our lives,” said Abdelsalam Masoud, father of Mutasem. “I thank God for sending them at the right time and that they knew CPR. ... The gratitude we feel today will stay with us for the rest of our lives.”
Highlands Ranch chamber names president By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com The Chamber of Commerce of Highlands Ranch has announced that Andrea LaRew will begin serving as its new president, effective Oct. 15. LaRew has been involved with nonprofit organizations for 23 years, including a 2½-year period from 2010-2012 when she served as the director of marketing and programs at The West Chamber of Commerce in Jefferson County. “Her reputation within the chamber community and nonprofit community is absolutely stellar,” said Highlands Ranch chamber chair-elect Dave Simonson. “She’s a very impressive person from top to bottom. She understands the commitment she is making and is not looking at the position as a job, but instead a career in which she can help the growth and development of the chamber.” Selected from a pool of 20 applicants and out of three finalists, LaRew replaces LaRae Marsik, who resigned Aug. 31 after spending one year at the helm. Marsik was responsible for helping grow membership by 21 percent, launching an online employment center, developing a mobile app, implementing the organization’s first business technology forum, and creating a business education team. LaRew, who holds a degree in psychology from Metro State University, hopes to take that momentum and run with it
and said that she intends to seek out new partnerships and strategic alliances for the chamber once she settles in. “A chamber needs to be dynamic and innovative, and new programming and new events are part of that,” she said. “I think initially what is more important, however, is for me to get to know the membership and the community and understand what their long-term needs are as well as how I can add value to being a LaRew member. “I think this chamber is really primed for growth. It’s a community that has a lot of thriving businesses, and I think the membership and board are very committed and passionate about their community and the chamber.” LaRew, who spent 17 years working with YMCAs in Kearney, Neb., Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Denver, serving as either a senior program director or executive director at each, said that running a nonprofit as a business is crucial to obtaining success. “I think that a lot of skills I’ve gained working in nonprofit are transferable from one place to the other, it’s just what you are delivering that may be a little different, especially with a membership nonprofit,” she said. “We exist because of the members and for the members. Being able to really connect with the membership is critical.”

Rocky Heights is riding high Middle school bicycling club takes to the trails By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com After learning that Mountain Ridge Middle School had its own mountain biking club, Linda Homstad’s wheels started spinning. At the time, Homstad was teaching at Ranch View Middle School, but the second the sixth-grade English teacher arrived at Rocky Heights Middle School after transferring from across town, she put those wheels in motion and created a club of her own. “Having these trails right here, we just had to do it,” said Homstad, who sponsors the club along with fellow teacher Cullen Hilsendager. The school, located just south of Rock Canyon High School, backs up to the Highlands Ranch Community Association’s Backcountry Wilderness Area trails. Despite the school’s prime location, Homstad was
pleasantly surprised at the turnout of interested students when the club gathered for the first time this fall. “I was hoping for 10 students,” she said. “We ended up with 44. We had so many kids that wanted to do it that we had to split it up over two days.” Homstad and Hilsendager head out on Wednesdays with the more advanced riders and spend Mondays with the beginners. Accompanied by about five parent volunteers each day, they split into small groups so everyone can ride at their own pace. The club plans on continuing to ride through mid-November and then pick back up in the spring, while having small-group rides on nice days throughout the winter. When seventh-grader Jack Bartholomew first heard that the club was forming, he jumped at the chance to join. Biking for nearly four years, Bartholomew said riding helps him keep his mind clear, and since he isn’t involved in any other extracurricular activities, it is the perfect chance for him to meet some new friends. “This is awesome,” he said. “It is some-

Photo by Ryan Boldrey thing I like to do and something I enjoy doing every day after school. I know these trails pretty well, too, so I know where I’m going.” While Bartholomew enjoys the adrenaline rush of going downhill and likes to get technical with his riding, other riders in the beginning class just like getting out there.
Sixth-graders Alyssa Marino and Ainsley Messenger have been riding their bikes to school together since the third grade, but are just beginning to hit the trails. “I’m excited to ride some different places,” Messenger said. “I was looking for something to do and this sounded fun.”

Vendors get crafty at Ketring Staff report Oct. 5 was a beautiful fall day with bright blue skies, perfect for the 42nd Annual Friends of the Library and Museum Craft Fair. It’s held each year in Ketring Park, and the expansive green lawn fills up with more than 300 crafters selling their wares. It’s all for a good cause, as money from booth fees is used to sponsor programs at Littleton Museum and Bemis Public Library. Hundreds, if not thousands, of shoppers got an early start on Christmas shopping or just picked up a few favorites for themselves. Next up for the neighborhood is the 18th Annual Harvest Festival and Pumpkin Sale at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 12. There’s a great crop of pumpkins, and there will be wagon rides and games that were popular in the 19th century. The event is free, but refreshments will be available for purchase. There will also be some free samples of this year’s bounty, like apple cider and preserves.

Theater offers stray of hope

RUSTED ROOT to headline Gothic
Band tours behind its seventh studio album By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com Celebrating more than two decades of music and touting its 2012 release, “The Movement,” Rusted Root is bringing its hard-touring act to Englewood. The Pittsburgh-based out-
fit, which broke onto the scene in the early 1990s with its second album “When I Woke” — highlighted by the songs “Send Me on My Way,” “Back to the Earth,” “Ecstasy,” and “Beautiful People” — will take the stage Oct. 18 at The Gothic Theatre in Englewood, along with supporting acts Rob Drabkin and Goodnight, Texas. A popular act throughout the mid-to-late 1990s, Rusted Root, known for its unique blend of experimental world
beat folk fusion, has never ceased touring relentlessly, and after taking a seven-year break from recording between 2002 and 2009, is calling “The Movement,” its seventh studio release, “a career album.” “I think this one kind of puts it all together for us, and for some people, it finally says, `This band is going to be there for the long haul,’” said Michael Glabicki, the group’s lead vocalist and primary songwriter.
From the rootsy, danceable “Monkey Pants” to the darker, drum-driven title track to the introspective “Something on My Mind,” Rusted Root has come full circle, tying together years of work and experimentation, Glabicki says. “I think we are at that point where you kind of say, `Wow, there’s a lot to work with in what we have already become accustomed to and sort of Root continues on Page16
Englewood plans chamber series Silver Ainomae takes role with arts group
Boys and Girls Club opens
The opening of the new Nancy P. Anschutz Center Boys and Girls Club on Tuesday, Oct. 1 was a celebration, despite a horrific shooting just 11 days earlier that left club advocate Terrance Roberts accused of attempted murder. Boldfaced names like Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, Phil and Nancy Anschutz, John and Paige Elway and Jack A. Vickers celebrated the opening of the new center at the Jack A. Vickers Boys & Girls Club. Denver politicos and movers and shakers joined the celebration of a new Park Hill community center that replaced a shopping area torched by a gang in 2008. Boys and Girls Club President and CEO John Aragoni held the sentiments of many in attendance when he said: “The community here had gone through its ups and downs. But we want to recognize its past with an eye on its future.”
`Girl’ power for CRA
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood Arts Presents announces the appointment of Silver Ainomae, Colorado Symphony Orchestra’s principal cellist, as its new artistic director. He will create a “mini series” within the Chamber Music of the Masters Series of eight concerts, performed in Hampden Hall, second floor of the Englewood Civic Center. “The four concerts I have created for the Englewood Arts Presents 2013-2014 season include several `big hits’ from the classical chamber music repertoire. My goal is to present a wide variety of composers and also have ensembles of all varying sizes,” Ainomae said. “The mini series opens on Oct. 19 (2 p.m.). The first program includes the Debussy `Cello Sonata,’ Arvo Part’s `Mozart Adagio,’ a one-movement quartet (Quartettsatz D 703) by Schubert and Brahms’ `Piano Quintet.’ Once again, I will have the pleasure to perform together with CSO concertmaster Yumi Hwang-Williams and pianist Hsing-ay Hsu. The group size will expand through the program when we will share the stage with Stirling Trent (violin)
Several years ago Mr. On The Town — the No. 1 dog lover in our house — and I attended the play “Sylvia” at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The A.R. Gurney play is about an emptynest couple who take in a stray dog. I won’t give away the ending but this comedy will tug at your heartstrings. I guarantee you’ll love this play! “Sylvia” plays from Nov. 7-17 at the LTAC. Tickets are available at www.LoneTreeArtsCenter.org or by calling 720-5091000. Kim Staunton, a winner of a Denver Post Ovation Award, Henry Award, and Westword’s Best of Denver among her many local theater performances, stars as Kate. Two Tony Award nominees, director Randal Myler and Jonathan C. Kaplan (as Greg), also are part of the cast and crew. Denver favorites Jamie Ann Romero (Sylvia) and Randy Moore (Tom, Phyllis and Leslie) round out a stellar cast.
The Ainome Ensemble (Hsing-ay Hsu, Yumi Hwang Williams and Silver Ainome) will perform with other classical musicians on Oct. 19 at the Englewood Civic Center.

Sonia Riggs, formerly the executive director of the American Institute of Architects Colorado, is the heir apparent to eventually take over Pete Meersman’s chief cheese job with the Colorado Restaurant Association as Meersman prepares for his departure. CRA chairman of the board Rich Yoke appointed a search committee to advertise, screen, interview and select someone to serve as the new CRA chief operating officer, a position that will transition into the president and chief executive officer when Meersman, who has led the CRA for 30-plus years, leaves the association Nov. 1, 2014. As of that date, Meersman will become the CRA’s chief strategy officer by serving on various affiliated boards and working on special projects until November 2019. “Sonia will officially begin work at CRA on Nov. 20,” Meersman said in a mass email. “She will be at CRA building on occasion before then for other meetings. “Sonia’s professional references raved about her when I talked to them. (All four AIA references not only praised her, but they asked me not to hire her because they wanted her to stay there.) I spent a morning last talking with Sonia in person.

Whether in the studio or on the stage, Glabicki said he is having more fun now than at any point in Rusted Root’s 21-year career together. One of three original members still in the band, along with percussionist Liz Berlin and bassist Patrick Norman, Glabicki says the band has at last found its drummer in Preach Freedom, and guitarist Dirk Miller has been a fantastic addition to the group, since replacing guitarist Colter Harper six months ago. The group is averaging about 160 shows a year, and in addition to performing, is currently working on a rockumentary and beginning to write for an eighth studio album.

Choirs will sing for others’ supper Concert raises money for groups that help poor By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Choirs from four south area churches will join in song at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18 in a fourth annual concert to celebrate the harvest season — and to raise money for local charities. St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church, Centennial, will host the event, which will be filled with singing, piano and organ music and scripture readings. The choir at St. Timothy’s, directed by Joyce Culwell, will be joined by choirs from St. Mary Catholic Church, Littleton (Marcia Marchesi); Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, Centennial (Sara Blake) and the Littleton Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Littleton Stake (Kent L. Jones). Marcia Marchesi, music director at St. Mary, said that last year, the first for St. Mary, about 120 voices combined to sing “The Heavens Are Telling” from Haydn’s “Creation.” This year, each choir will per-
form for about 12 minutes, followed by the joint choirs performing “Sing Praise to Him!” by Kent L. Jones. “It’s amazing to hear all the voices fitting together—there’s great energy in the room,” she said. Each of these churches has members from across the south metro area. “There are no longer neighborhood churches,” Marchesi commented. St. Mary will sing works by two French composers: “Gloria” from “Messe Breve” by Leo Delibes and Cantique de Jean Racine” Op. 11 by Gabriel Faure. A piano piece, with violin, “Meditation” from “Thais” by Massenet will be on the program also. Marchesi said they had a standing room audience at St. Timothy’s last year and raised about $3000 for the St. Vincent DePaul Society and Inter Faith Task Force. Recipients this year are St. Vincent DePaul Society and HAAT, a small task force that aids the homeless. “We hope to raise even more this year,” she said. Each group rehearses separately until concert day, learning the new music. They gather early and rehearse the joint music several times prior to the performance.
The St. Mary choir sings in the 2012 Interfaith choral concert. Courtesy photo Admission is free, however a free-will offering is welcome. Marchesi, who has been at St. Mary for five years, has an interesting background: her family lived in Vienna for 10 years and she attended music school in Austria for undergraduate studies. Her Ph. D is from CU Boulder, where she taught for 10 years until this job opened up and looked like a good fit.
if you go “We Gather Together: an Interfaith Choral Festival” will be at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18 at St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church, 1401 E. Dry Creek Road, Centennial. 303-794-1565. sttims.net. Admission is free; a free will offering is welcome.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Your Aries charm helps persuade others to listen to your proposal. But it’s still a long way from acceptance, unless you can stand up to the tough questions that are set to follow. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Plan to share a weekend getaway from all the pressures of your hectic workaday world with a very special someone. You could be pleasantly surprised at what develops. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your keen insight once again helps you handle a challenging situation with a clearer perception of what it’s really all about. What you learn helps you make a difficult decision. CANCER (Jun 21 to July 22) If you want to steer clear of getting involved in a new family dispute, say so. Your stand might cause hurt feelings for some, but overall, you’ll be respected for your honesty. LEO (July 23 to Aug 22) Expect recognition for your efforts in getting a project into operation. Besides the more practical rewards, your Lion’s heart will be warmed by the admiration of your colleagues.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Changing a decision might disappoint some people, but the important thing is that you be honest with yourself. Don’t go ahead with anything you have doubts about. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) There could be some fallout from an emotional confrontation that you really should deal with before moving on. Best to start fresh with a clean, clear slate.

Getting around with Phileas Fogg Jules Verne story comes to stage at Arvada Center By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcolorado news.com In a time where one can be almost anywhere in the world in a day or two, the audience has to bring imagination to a play set in a time when travelers devoted a year to circumnavigating the globe. Although Jules Verne was excited about the technological advancements in the 1850s, when there was a Society for the Encouragement of Aerial Locomotion by Means of Heavier-ThanAir-Craft, according to the Arvada Center program, he had to dream and write science fiction about new modes of travel. He wrote about Phileas Fogg (Dustin Bronson), a mid-19th-century wealthy nerd, who made a wager with men at his London club that he could go “Around the World in 80 Days.” The Arvada Center presents Creede Repertory Theatre’s witty production of Mark Brown’s play, adapted from the novel, through Oct. 27.
It is set in 1872 “in London and around the world.” As lights go up, the stage has a raked platform with a single rose velvet chair centered on it. It will become a ship and other locations in rapid succession. India, Africa, Asia, Europe … Fogg’s previous servant allows that he has just been fired because the shaving water was the wrong temperature for his excessively structured employer. A replacement, the French Passepartout (Graham Ward), appears, ready to go to work — and to travel, he learns, since Fogg has just made his 20,000-pound bet. He wears his grandfather’s fine watch, which cannot possibly be wrong, he insists. He keeps it on London time through the trip and there is talk throughout about what time it is — a key to the ending. That simple platform becomes many destinations as the imaginative choreography by director Charlie Oates carries it to distant lands. The other scenic prop is a large cabinet that becomes an office for all sorts of characters, mostly played by the versatile Patrick Du Laney, with lightening-fast costume changes. John Arp plays Detec-
Phileas Fogg (Dustin Bronson) and Aouda (Caitlin Wise) share a tender moment during a whirlwind world tour in “Around the World in 80 Days.” Courtesy photo tive Fix (and others) trailing after Fogg with an arrest warrant. His comic talents are in top form. Caitlin Wise is the fifth member of this talented cast. Among other roles, she is the lovely Aouda, whom Fogg rescues from some Bedouins and, of course, falls for. Fogg remains himself, but other characters in a variety of costumes and with assorted accents, swirl in and out of a fast-moving story. The audience cheered in several especially cleverly staged scenes. Crisp dialogue, imagina-
tive costumes and precise direction contribute to a well-produced bit of time travel. Suitable for children age 9 and over.
IF YOU GO “Around the World in 80 Days,” produced by Creede Repertory Theatre, plays through Oct. 27 at the Arvada Center’s black box theatre, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 1 p.m. Wednesdays; 2 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays. Tickets: Arvadacenter.org, 720-898-7200.

Acclaimed author has humble backstory Turano pens four novels within 18-month stretch By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Within weeks of beginning her career as an author, Jen Turano’s friends had her convinced she should be on Oprah’s couch discussing the finer points of her latest book. While publishers didn’t immediately see it that way, the up-and-coming historical romance writer has found herself much closer to the coveted sit-down than she ever imagined. Turano, 48, has developed a devoted audience, selling tens of thousands of books worldwide since November, a near-impossible feat for an unknown author. This month, she is celebrating the release of her third novel, “A Talent for Trouble.” Things didn’t start out so easily. The decision to change from department store manager to stay-at-home mom hit her over the head, literally. “I worked in retail for years,” she said. “One day, a lady hit me in the head with her handbag because I wouldn’t take her return. That’s when I hung up my heels forever.” Her transition into the literary world a few years later wasn’t quite as violent. Eschewing the traditional children’s tales, the Parker mom made up her own stories for
her then-9-year-old son. His rave reviews led the duo to create their own book about smelly lizard creatures called “Fanglers,” against the propertyParentlegally deand the reaction from Turano’s scribed as follows: Teacher Organization friends boosted her Condominium Unit 6, Building 13, WINDconfidence.

That series has earned her acclaim from prominent bloggers, and most recently, a spot on Book List’s Top 10 Romances for 2013 for her work on “A Most Peculiar Circumstance,” the second installment in the series. She is now writing the fourth and final book of the series, “A Match of Wits,” due out next year. She despises house cleaning, but admits it’s her source of inspiration. “If something’s not working and I need to change it, I pull out the vacuum,” she says. Turano writes for the “inspirational market” and has a “faith-element thread” in her novels, but they are not religion-based and simply tend to “appeal to people who want to share the book with their daughter and The work to be performed shall be pursunot be embarrassed.” She refuses to include ant to an Independent Contractor Agreement which will expire on December 31, sex scenes. 2013, subject to renewal and annual appropriation.

Lions win key soccer game Littleton victorious in tough battle with ThunderRidge By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Littleton High School boys soccer team climbed one step closer to its goal of making the playoffs Oct. 3 by winning a hardfought battle with ThunderRidge, 2-1 on the Grizzlies’ home field. “All remaining games are very important as we try to make the playoffs,” Lions coach Pedja Vajzovic said after the game. “It was a tough game today. This was an even game early but we also
missed scoring a couple of goals we should have scored. They tied the score late in the period so it was all even. We played better in the second half, we worked hard, so we got that goal to give us the win.” ThunderRidge coach Chris Smith was disappointed by the outcome of the game. “This is a must-win game for us because we must win from here out if we are to get into the playoffs,” he said before the game. “We have good players and have worked hard every game. But, we have had several players sidelined by injuries and it seems we haven’t been getting some of those key bounces in our favor that can help you win. So we are at a point now
where we have to win the rest of our games to make the playoffs.” The Oct. 3 win elevated the Littleton record to 7-3-1 overall and 4-1-1 in league while ThunderRidge drops to 3-8 overall and 2-6 in league. The league season is in the home stretch. Littleton was at Littleton Public Schools Stadium Oct. 8 against Legend and Oct. 10 against Douglas County. The Lions are on the road Oct. 12 at Shea Stadium against Highlands Ranch and close out the regular season Oct. 15 at LPS against Chaparral. The Grizzlies have three games left on the schedule. They were at Littleton Public Schools Stadium Oct. 10 against Heritage and played Castle View Oct. 11 at
Dick’s Sporting Goods Stadium. The final game of the season is Oct. 15 at Shea Stadium against Douglas County. The Oct. 3 game proved to be an 80-minute back-and-forth battle as each team sought to take control of the tempo of play. A great deal of play was in the middle of the field, as one team attacked and the other team’s defense got control of the ball and sent the action the other way. There were shots on goal that sailed wide of the net, and goalies at both ends of the field caught or deflected those shots that were on target to score. The Lions got on the scoreboard midway through the first half as the team had mounted a
succession of attacks. One of attacks pushed the ball deep in ThunderRidge territory and, when there was an opening, Cole Greer drilled a low line-drive shot past the diving Grizzlies goalie. The Grizzlies’ successful attack tied the score with 2:47 left in the first half on a left-footed shot by Eric Meza. The second half was more of the same type of back-and-forth soccer. Littleton’s game winner came midway through the period when Alex Olvera drilled a hard shot at the ThunderRidge goal. Grizzlies goalie Cameron Braaten made a diving deflection but Will Patton was then to put the ball into the back of the net. Soccer continues on Page 29
Heritage, Valor hit goals in golf championships Tourneys held at courses around state By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com The Heritage boys golf team accomplished its mission, as did the golfers from Valor Christian, in the Colorado State High School golf championship tournaments. Heritage turned in the third best score during the second and final day of the Class 5A tournament Oct. 1 at Murphy Creek Golf Course and tied for fifth place in the final standings. Valor Christian, a runner-up in 2012 after losing in a two-hole playoff to Pueblo South, rallied from five shots off the pace af-
ter the first round to claim the Class 4A state championship at Hiwan Country Club. “We were tied for sixth (after the first round) and we said if we could get into the top five we’d be happy,” said Heritage coach Nicki Polous. Heritage, led by senior Hunter Lee, carded a 226 during play on the second day that had golfers dealing with 20 mph winds in addition to the course. The Eagles had the third best final-round score behind state champion Regis Jesuit (213) and Arapahoe (223). Lee finished tied for 10th in the final individual standings with a 4-over-par 148 total after rounds of 75 and 73. Other members of the Heritage team were Riggs Winz (78-74—172), Reese Leiker (78-79—157) and Nick Leibold (77-83—160).
Regis finished 23 strokes ahead of second-place Ralston Valley. Cherry Creek wound up third, Arapahoe ninth and Douglas County 12th. Jake Staino shot a 1-overpar 71 in the second round to spark Valor’s comeback. The Eagles fashioned a finalround 225 on the difficult Hiwan course to catch and pass Silver Creek to capture the state title by three shots. Valor had four golfers finish in the top 13 on the individual leaderboard. Staino (77-71) was fourth at 148, Ross Macdonald (75-77) seventh at 152, Josh Seiple (76-78) tied for ninth place at 154 and Coby Welch (79-77) tied for 13th with a 156 total. Lee appeared ready to climb up the leader board during the last day of the 5A tournament after he eagled the 311-yard, par 4
ninth hole. “I was one under going into nine and hit a good chip and it went in,” recalled Lee. “That put me 3-under after nine, but I bogeyed the first three holes on the back nine and birdied one hole. I bogeyed 17, which was the toughest hole because of the wind. “I kind of had a tough time scoring. I missed a lot of easy short putts that I hadn’t missed in previous rounds where I scored lower, so that kind of hindered my chances of going low for the day. Overall I was striking the ball consistently and I just didn’t score the way I should have or know I can. Our team played pretty consistent. It was a good showing at state.” Lee tied for 10th with Arapahoe’s Sam Marley (74, 74) and Kobe Padilla (73, 75) of Cherry Creek.

State tennis tournament looms Arapahoe sending a slew of players to vie for titles By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Mountain Vista easily won the Class 5A Region 5 boys tennis championship and established itself as a team to watch at the state tournament. The Golden Eagles won all seven finals in straight sets Oct. 3 during second day of the regional tournament that was held at Redstone Park. Mountain Vista lost just 23 games during the regional and will now head into the Oct. 10-12 Class 5A state tournament at Gates Tennis Center as a team that could damage the title hopes of perennial state powers Cherry Creek and Fairview. “We are peaking at the right time,” proclaimed
Golden Eagles coach Jim Flanigan. “We’ve been the third or fourth best team in the state all year. Cherry Creek and Fairview are the top two teams going into state. I tell the kids all you want to do is put yourself in the best position you can. We’re in that group that could have a chance. Cherry Creek, Fairview and Mountain Vista qualified their entire teams, and Arapahoe will send players in six of the seven positions. Mountain Vista’s regional champions were Vignesh Senthilvel at No. 1 singles, Ben Andersen at No. 2 singles, Michael Shin at No. 3 singles, the No. 1 doubles team of Austin Gruszczynski and Vamsi Senthilvel, Maciek Lazarski and Alex Boyarko at No. 2 doubles, Enzo Ortiz and Kobe Holdren at No. 3 doubles and the No. 4 doubles duo of Blake Warner and Ashwin Vaithianathan. Flanigan has watched his team grow from week to week this season.

The Littleton coach said another win helps the team’s effort to get into the playoffs. “We have four league wins now and four games left to go,” Vajzovic said after the game. “We want to try to win all of them but I believe if we win at least two, we will make
“I’ve seen the team progress from the beginning of the year,” he said. “The guys are really coming together. Austin (Gruszcynski) had to sit out the first five matches because he was a transfer from Valor, so everybody had to play up a position. As the season has gone on, we’ve gotten stronger and stronger. The guys are ready and have worked really hard to get to this point. “Vignesh is at the top of his game and playing well. Ben has been our a rock this year at No. 2 singles. Michael is a great team player. The last two years he has qualified for state as a No. 2 singles player, but Ben came in as a freshman and bumped him to No. 3, and he’s been playing great at No. 3 all season and understanding he wants to do well at state.” Other Class 5A qualifiers from area schools: No. 1 singles — Zach Fryer, Cherry Creek; Eric Kwiatkowski, Chaparral; Nicholas Farmen, Arapahoe
the playoffs.” He said he keeps stressing that the team needs more consistent play. “We have a lot of talent and, at times, our team can be scary good,” he said. “But, we can be scary good for a few minutes in a game but then seek to relax and just not play to the level we should be playing. I tell the players this stretch is like the World Cup for us and we need to be scary good for a full 80 minutes each game.” Senior striker Olvera said soccer has

been his favorite sport since he was 5 and he loves the game. “My natural position is as a midfielder, but this year our team needed more offense so the coach moved me to forward,” he said. “This is an intense time of the year for all the teams in the Continental League because all the teams want to make the playoffs so everyone is fighting hard to win every game.” He said he feels his asset to put shots on goal is receiving a pass on the ground

or looking for a pass over the top to get in position between the last defender and the goalie. Olvera shoots equally well with either foot and said that came from an injury to his left foot. “I couldn’t put weight on the left foot to drive through with my right foot to shoot the ball,” he said. “So, I practiced shooting left-footed. I still have more power when I shoot with my right foot but, if the opening is there, I can shoot well with the left foot.”
