Complan update gets board’s OK Document now goes to council for � nal approval By Jennifer Smith [email protected]
After years of wrangling with a vision for the city, members of the planning board are fi nally ready to move on to specifi cs.
The board unanimously approved an amendment to Littleton’s comprehensive plan that lays out its goals as they move into updating individual neighborhood plans.
“My goal is to ensure the small-area plans are inclusive and that they do provide the integration of the citywide goals and policies,” said president Randy Duzan.
The plan, written in 1981, has been stuck since 2005 between those who think it should be an action plan and those who see it as a guiding vision. Required by state law, it guides the evolution of the city and is supposed to refl ect the residents’ desires. It tends to emphasize things like community character over specifi cs like lighting and height requirements.
The section currently being revised only addresses the citywide vision, not the neighborhood plans. Those are being left alone until after the areas around the two light-rail stations are addressed.
Three citizens appeared in front of the board to protest the plan, saying the plan’s ambiguity allows too much room for inter-pretation. But the board maintains this sec-tion simply lays out guidance for the rest of the update, and note they’ve incorporated more specifi c documents into the plan, in-cluding the economic-development plan and corridor studies.
“If we put everything in here that every-one in the city wanted, it would be about 600 pages and would take about 20 years to vet,” said board member Curt Samuelson.
Residents will have one more chance to weigh in on the document at a yet-to-be scheduled public hearing. The entire docu-ment is at www.littletongov.org.
Thousands headed downtown for Littleton’s annual Candlelight Walk the night after Thanksgiving. The crowd enjoyed caroling, fi re dancers, hot chocolate, warm cider and Santa’s traditional visit.

Six finalists make cut for fire chief position Mullin leaving job at end of December
By Jennifer Smith [email protected]
After a national search, Littleton City Manager Michael Penny has announced the names of six fi nalists for the Littleton Fire Rescue chief position.
Division Chief Wayne Zygowicz is the only LFR employee to make the cut. The others are Christopher Armstrong, for-mer division chief in Miramar, Fla.; Joseph Bruce, chief of North Metro Fire Rescue in
Arvada; Gary Curmode, chief of the Sedg-wick County Fire District 1 in Park City, Kan.; Jack McArthur, chief in Yuma, Ariz.; Thomas Solberg, director of fi re service training at Montana State University.
John Mullin, chief since 2004, an-nounced Aug. 23 that he would end his 40-year career effective Dec. 31.
“How exciting for the new chief to be coming to an organization that is hungry to grow and hungry to go forward,” he told the Highlands Ranch Metro District board of directors Nov. 26. “Thank you for the support you have given me and the friend-ships I’ve made. It’s been a good run. It’s been fun being a part of this, this is a good place to live and work.”
He announced his retirement on Aug.
23, four months after the fi refi ghters’ asso-ciation formally declared their lack of con-fi dence in his leadership.
“Once a proud and well-regarded emer-gency services provider, we have watched with dismay and disappointment as Little-ton has been passed up by other metro fi re departments,” the association wrote in an April 16 letter to Penny. “It pains us to see how far we have fallen under the leader-ship of John Mullin.”
Mullin called the vote a distraction.“I turn 65 this October and will achieve
40 years in the fi re service on April 1,” he said in a statement Aug. 24. “I leave a wonderful, adventure-fi lled career on my terms.”
At the time, Joel Heinemann, president
of the Littleton Firefi ghters Association, said the department was looking forward to a new start.
“We wish him well in the next chapter of his life,” he said. “We’re excited about mov-ing forward with the future of the Littleton fi re department with new leadership.”
The switch comes as South Metro Fire Rescue is studying the feasibility of join-ing forces in some fashion with LFR. A similar study conducted last year between LFR and the Englewood Fire Department recommended an eventual merger with Englewood’s department, but no real steps were taken toward that end.

View of piano is black and whiteThe 74-year-old Knabe grand piano
sits silent in the room behind them. But the three women sipping tea at the small dining room table feel the music settle into them with the quiet joy only an old, beloved companion can bring.
Music.“It’s like food,” Dee Netzel, 86, says. “I
couldn’t imagine life without it.”“It’s a passion,” says Donita Banks, 77,
“a compulsion.”The piano belongs to the third woman,
the tiniest, just now able to sit at the bench after two months battling a back injury.
Rita Jo Tensly, 84, says simply: “I want to die at the piano.”
•••They call themselves “sisters” — Dee
from a small Wisconsin town, Rita from New York City and Donita from Pueblo. All classical pianists, a love for music binds them tightly. But what brought them to-gether originally was the Denver alumnae chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, an interna-tional music fraternity for women they joined while in college.
Donita, the chapter’s archivist who chronicles the organization’s history in carefully constructed scrapbooks, spreads open an album on the table and points to a picture of smiling women, the SAI Singers.
“There’s Dee and there’s me. We had a bicentennial program.” 1976.
She turns to another page and another picture. 1995.
Rita: “There I am in the front row.”Donita: “We were looking a little
younger then.”All three burst into laughter.Another album contains photos of
revered member Lela Putney, whose 104th birthday they celebrated in 2008. She left Denver several years ago to live near family and died at 108. Donita added the obituary and stories of her life to the scrapbook.
Donita, who joined in 1960 and is one of the longest-running members, is ada-mant the SAI alumnae chapter was a key ingredient to Lila’s longevity.
“What has kept us going,” she says, “has been music, friendship and service.”
The chapter has 44 members from their
mid-20s to Dee, the oldest active member. About 25 attend monthly meetings from September to June in homes and churches throughout the metro area, wherever a good piano can be found.
“I think one of the neat things about our group now is we are online,” Dee says, “and as careers bring people to our area, they look us up online and they find us.”
The website also brings younger women to the graying chapter.
Dee: “I love being with young people.”“It keeps me young,” Rita says.Dee: “We really aren’t categorized by
age. … Music is just music.”“They like us for what we are,” Rita says.
“Musicians.”•••
Donita, an only child, began playing at 7 when her parents brought home an old, Baldwin Acrosonic upright piano, signed by pianist Amparo Iturbi, sister of the famed pianist José Iturbi of Spain.
“Really?” Rita asks.“Mmmhmmm,” Donita says, smiling,
remembering. “I loved piano from the beginning.”
In junior high school, she began ac-companying the singers at church. In high school, she played for a singer who performed for service organizations and then was hired to accompany dancers at the Pueblo Conservatory of Music. She attended the University of Colorado on scholarship where a professor introduced her to contemporary music.
Her son, her first child, was just seven weeks old when she accepted a job as youth choir director at a Lakewood church, the start to a career as a freelance musician who combined one-woman shows with
choir directing.“It came to be a way of life,” Donita
says. And when she battled breast cancer two years ago, she couldn’t wait to play again. “I had to get back to my music. Yes, I had to get back to my regular life.”
Rita was 10 when her parents surprised her with the same piano in her sitting room for her birthday. “I took to it like a duck takes to water,” she says.
She attended Juilliard and graduated from the University of Miami in Florida, then moved to Denver in 1953 and taught elementary school music for 28 years.
She loves the classical composers. “I just love the way they put the music to-gether. I think about the music, what they were thinking about, why they composed this music.”
Her favorites are Debussy and Mozart. She looks at her hands. “My hands are very small.” She fans out her fingers. “So Mozart fits my hands.”
Her eyesight is failing. And that is her biggest fear.
“I dread the time if I never have any more sight to see the music because I don’t want to stop playing,” she says. “I feel bet-ter when I play this beautiful music.”
Dee grew up in a poor, rural Wiscon-sin home. But her mother had inherited a piano. And to keep a mischievous Dee out of trouble, she started her with piano lessons.
“I loved the teacher; I loved the music,” Dee says. “Nobody had to make me prac-tice and I never stopped.” She would at-tend the University of Wisconsin, Madison, on scholarship.
Later a staff accompanist at Metro-politan State University for 27 years, Dee began as an elementary and high school music teacher for nine one-room schools in rural Wisconsin that she had to get to in two days.
“I’d roar up in my car and teach, then roar up to the next one,” she says. “I would spin around on the roads, I would knock over the mailboxes — I was in such a hurry.”
Dee laughs. “I was young.”Rita smiles, taking a sip of tea. “We were
all young at one time.”Dee still practices every day, one of the
reasons, she believes, that she doesn’t have any pain in her arthritic hands. Twelve years ago, macular degeneration clouded the sight in her left eye. In August, doctors found the beginning of the disease in her right eye.
“I’m surviving,” Dee says and tells Donita and Rita about the musical pro-gram she played recently with a friend. “I played practically note-perfect. I’m going to keep going until I can’t see anything.”
•••The stories around the table this day
compose a concerto of family remembered and talent ignited, of challenges faced and overcome, of the importance of sharing a singular passion with the world. They also, perhaps mostly, recount a friendship born, nurtured and sealed by the implicit under-standing of a love and need for music and the deep happiness it brings.
The piano waits across the room. A brass light that cost $100 arches over the music books of Debussy and Chopin resting against the piano rack. Rita’s $400 piano glasses lie on top.
Rita: “It was worth it to me, to see the music … so I can play.”
And play they will.Of that, there is no doubt.As long as they can, Donita says.Till, Dee concludes, the end.
A benefit concert to raise money for “Mending Faces,” which sends doctors to the Philippines to operate on children with cleft palates, will be held Jan. 26 at 3 p.m. at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 1600 Grant St., Denver. The concert is presented by the Den-ver Alumnae Chapter and Sigma Upsilon Chapter, Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity. Tickets are $25, $10 for students.

Sloppiness cited in mental health delay By Kristin Jones I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS
Susan Beckman wants you to know that “a lot of sloppy work” — and not a conspiracy — were behind the state’s botched job of fi nding someone to run a network of walk-in mental health crisis centers.
Beckman, a Littleton resident and former Arapahoe County com-missioner, heads the administrative branch of the Colorado Department of Human Services, the offi ce respon-sible for the failed solicitation process. The department has been accused of colluding with local actors — that is, local providers of mental health ser-vices — to elbow out a newcomer, but Beckman says a slew of mistakes were just human error.
The department on Nov. 22 issued a new request for proposals to run the crisis centers, three weeks after decid-ing to rescind an award it had made on Oct. 16 to Crisis Access of Colorado, which set up shop in the state for the purpose of applying for the contract.
Crisis Access is affi liated with a pri-vate Georgia-based crisis intervention company called Behavioral Health Link and Recovery Innovations, an organization with operations in Ari-zona, California and Washington.
Awards made to two Denver-based companies — Metro Crisis Services, to run a hotline, and Cactus Commu-nications, for marketing — were also scuttled.
The contracts will determine who runs the keystone mental health ini-tiative of the Hickenlooper adminis-tration. The crisis stabilization cen-ters are meant to take pressure off of hospital emergency rooms, jails and prisons — which have become the main providers of services for people with mental illness — after decades of funding shortfalls.
But so far, the piece of legislation meant to promote cooperation among mental health service providers in Colorado has proven divisive, at best.
Crisis Access has accused the state of making a political de-cision when it scrapped the contract. In a protest letter fi led with the De-partment of Human Services on Nov. 11, the company called the decision unlawful, and alleged that the state skirted proper procedures and bowed to pressure from a consortium of local community mental health facilities that had lost out on the bid.
“If there were concerns about the process, then the state should have required the regular protest proce-dures,” says David Covington, who left a job at Magellan Health Services to become CEO of Crisis Access. “That wasn’t done.”
The state rejected Crisis Access’ protest last week.
Beckman says the decision to scrap the award had nothing to do with pressure from the losing bidders. In-stead, she blames plain old sloppiness for a bidding process that was “an em-barrassment to the department.”
Before the bid was even awarded, says Beckman, she became aware of “blatant” errors including missing scores, incorrect calculations and im-proper weighting. “We were wonder-ing how we had gotten this far without checking our work,” she said, adding that in retrospect, the award should never have been publicly announced.
“It was just such bad timing. It was awkward. It was not good.”
Her division instead referred the matter to the Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration., which ound that the bid process was not
only stocked with errors, Beckman said, but didn’t meet the requirements of the legislation creating the new be-havioral health crisis system, includ-ing principles of cultural competence, strong community relationships and building on existing foundations.
Harriet Hall was among those who were unhappy with the way the bid went the fi rst time. She heads the Jef-ferson Center for Mental Health, and is part of a group of local partners who applied to run the crisis centers.
“Our sense of the competing bid was that those strong community re-lationships were non-existent,” Hall says. “And yet if you looked at the scoring they were scored as high or higher as folks that have the commu-nity relationships.”
But Covington says there was no requirement that the bidders have a history of operating in the state. Re-viewers were impressed with Crisis Access’ focus on peer support and trauma-informed care, records show.
If there’s any consensus, it’s that the state’s mistakes will be expensive to fi x. A new bidding process means another costly effort by the mental health service providers applying for the job — not to mention those re-viewing the proposals.
Beckman says the disruption is worth it in order to re-do the bid pro-cess with a fresh crew and clean slate.
“When we’re done, everyone’s go-ing to say, this is a really good pro-cess,” says Beckman.
The state hopes to fi nalize the new contracts by Feb. 24 — four months later than planned.

Mystery of cottage cheese recipe solved North Woods Inn recipe is classic Littleton treat By Jennifer Smith [email protected]
It’s perhaps one of Lit-tleton’s greatest myster-ies: How can we fi nd the long-lost recipe for North Woods Inn’s cottage-cheese seasoning?
The answer, of course, is Facebook.
The search started when the popular lo-cal steak house abruptly closed in May 2011 and the property became Scarlet Ranch, an “adult lifestyle” nightclub.
“We are closing be-cause of lack of business,” North Woods owner Pat Stahl told local media at the time. “I did not want to go out broke. We were in business 50 years. I am fi ne with the situation. I am 75, and my children don’t want it, and my health is not good.”
She assured her fans that the seasoning would continue to be available at local gro-cers. But as time has gone by, it’s become scarce, and Stahl has stopped responding to emails. So the Littleton Independent took the quest to Facebook’s “You know you grew up in Littleton, CO if you remember …” page, and voila, member Nancy Pyles Wyman stepped right up with the answer.
“I practically grew up at the North Woods Inn because my dad was friends and went to school with the owner, Fred Maten,” she recalls. “I was a cocktail waitress at both locations, and to earn extra money, I’d put labels on the cottage-cheese mix and fi lled them. Fred originally was at the Alpine Village Inn and brought the recipe to the North Woods.”
In addition to the seasoning, the res-taurant is remembered for its bountiful soup and bread offerings, and the chance
to throw peanut shells on the fl oor. Old-timers might remember the giant Paul Bu-nyan that once stood in front of its original location at Hudson Gardens, where it lived from 1962 until 1997.
“The North Woods Inn was a gather-ing place for the owners, trainers and jockeys from Centennial Race Track during its long life in Lit-tleton,” read its website. “Governors, mayors, ac-tors and actresses have all enjoyed an evening at the North Woods Inn.”
The building was pre-viously home to King and Evelyn Hudson’s Coun-try Kitchen, which they opened in 1942. They owned the entire 30 acres that is now Hudson Gar-dens, and Evelyn Hud-son’s will dictated that the property be used “for the aesthetic enjoyment and
education of the public.”So when North Woods’ lease expired in
1997, the Hudson Foundation took posses-sion of the building, and Stahl and her hus-band, Ray Dambach, moved the restaurant to 8109 Blakeland Drive in Douglas County. Dambach died in 2001, and Stahl contin-ued to operate it until 2011.
“The money I invested for my retire-ment will help me to live well till I leave this great earth,” she wrote. “We made thou-sands of people very happy with wonder-ful meals, and that is something I will take with me for the rest of my life.”
For those wondering how North Woods’ legendary friendly ghost might react to the new tenants, Stahl says he stayed in the old building. For those wondering where to get a good steak now, Stahl says you can do it yourself.
“You can make the perfect T-bone by seasoning it with our seasoning in the morning,” said Stahl. “Throw it on the grill at night and cook to temp. It will be per-fect.”
HERE’S THE RECIPE
North Woods Inn’s famous seasoned cottage-cheese recipe, via Nancy Pyles Wyman:
1 pound small-curd cottage cheese¼ teaspoon caraway seed, more if
desired¾ teaspoon sugar½ teaspoon Accent (MSG)¼ teaspoon white pepper½ tablespoon dried chives¼ teaspoon celery saltMix all ingredients together and chill
for several hours or overnight.

Kaiser opens new centerMedical facility offers more than 20 specialtiesBy Jane [email protected]
Christmas came early for Kaiser Permanente this year when it opened the doors to its new 275,000-square-foot, six-story, multi-specialty center. The Lone Tree building, under con-struction for more than two years, welcomed its first patients Dec. 2.
The facility brings about 20 spe-cialty services, 45 doctors and 300 additional employees to serve its ap-proximately 128,000 south metro area members.
“We’re bringing specialty care to where they live,” said Kaiser’s Dr. Da-vid Gladu, operations chief for surgi-cal specialties and a longtime Lone Tree resident. “Up until now, most of our medical and surgical care was in downtown Denver. This will be much easier for patients.”
Kaiser began its search for land in the south metro area almost four years ago and chose the site at Park Meadows Drive across from the Lin-coln light rail station.
“This property wasn’t even for sale,” project manager Mike Schultz said, adding that the site’s 20-acre size, its scenic views to the west, and easy access to Interstate 25 made it an ideal location. Kaiser approached the land-owner, who agreed to sell it.
“The drivers for this building were orthopedics, as well as the ability to
do outpatient or day surgery,” Kaiser spokeswoman Amy Whited said.
The building also includes oncol-ogy and infusion, allergy, gastroen-terology, obstetrics and gynecology, pain management, medical imaging, palliative care and many other servic-es, including a pharmacy and optical center.
“With this building, mom could come in for an eye appointment, schedule an X-ray for a child and get lab work done,” Whited said. “You don’t have to drive across town any-more.”
The area for the Lone Tree Kaiser’s drug infusion center carefully was reserved for a first-floor, west-facing site.
“Those patients can be here from two to six hours,” Greg Mills, Kaiser’s south area administrator. “We gave them good real estate.”
Outdoor seating located a few steps from the infusion center is designed to provide a comfortable waiting area for friends and family members.
The effort to move away from the
sterile atmosphere once common to hospitals and medical facilities is evi-dent on every floor — from colorful accent walls and large, original mu-rals to a whimsical, bicycle-themed sculpture that winds along the side of an open staircase.
Even on the garden level and in rooms that house MRI, CT and other scanners, architects found ways to add natural light. Mills said that helps patients relax during what typically are tension-producing procedures.
The building includes a garden level and five additional floors. The fifth is unfinished space, reserved for future growth.
The site also has room for two ad-ditional buildings and two parking structures; Kaiser has no timeline for any additional construction. Addi-tional specialties, such as cardiology, endocrinology, neurology and derma-tology, will be added during that sec-ond phase of development.
With the opening of the new build-ing, Kaiser has closed its Yosemite Street offices, which for three years provided orthopedic specialty care and other limited services from a leased space.
Its landlocked Franklin Street fa-cility in downtown Denver also has contributed to Kaiser’s multi-pronged recent expansion. In 2012, Kaiser opened the Fort Collins Medical Cen-ter and Loveland Medical Offices. In January 2014, it will open a new medi-cal office building in Greeley.
Statewide, Kaiser serves about 545,000 members.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF DEC 5, 2013
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Decisions involving your finances might seem to be foolproof. But they could have underlying risks you should know about. Don’t act on anything until all the facts are in.
TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You’re attracted to a situation that appeals to your Bovine intellect. And that’s good. But don’t neglect your passionate side when romance comes calling later in the week.
GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A recent development enhances that special relationship. Spending more time together also helps make the bonding pro-cess stronger. Expect news about a possible career change.
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A suspicious situa-tion should be dealt with before it leads to serious problems. Get all the facts needed to resolve it. Then refocus your energies on those tasks that need your attention.
LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Try to be more open-minded in working toward a resolution of that standoff be-tween yourself and a colleague or family member. A little flexibility now could work to your advantage later.
VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) You might feel a bit threatened by a proposed workplace change. The best way to deal with it is to ask questions. You’ll find that those involved will be happy to provide you with the facts.
LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Feeling alone in a crowd during the early part of the week is an unsettling emo-tion. But your spirits soon perk up, putting you into the right mood to start making holiday plans.
SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A pesky problem should be dealt with immediately so you can put your time and effort into something more important. Someone from your past could have significant news for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) High-energy aspects dominate, both on the job and at home. Use this time to put some long-range plans into operation. Things level off later in the week.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Even the usually gregarious Goat might feel overwhelmed by a flurry of activities. Be patient. Things soon return to your normal social routine.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Career choices that seem too confusing to deal with at this point probably are. More information would help uncomplicate them. On the personal side, a friend might need your advice.
PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Your Piscean imagina-tion is stimulated by possibilities you see in a new opportunity. But keep those ideas to yourself until you feel ready to translate them into a workable format.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have an ingratiating way of helping people deal with their fears. Have you con-sidered a career in social work or with the clergy?

Teens to raise voices in songHoliday fest coming to Highlands RanchBy Sonya [email protected]
Vocal music students from four area high schools have been re-hearsing together in preparation for the St. Luke’s Performing Arts Academy Holiday Festival, ac-cording to James Ramsey, director of music and arts ministries at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch.
Almost 200 young singers from four area high schools will per-form at 6 and 8 p.m. on Dec. 13 at St. Luke’s.
Classic carols and favorite songs are on the program, plus a festival chorus song titled “Betel-hemu,” with all the movements and drums.
Guest musicians include Frank Perko, organ; Gretchen Martin, piano; Dave Shugert, guitars; and Robb Heskett, drums.
There will be a reading of “The Night Before Christmas” and “an identified guest dressed in red and white halfway through the pro-gram.”
Ramsey said he created sum-mer performing arts programs to provide arts experiences for K-12 students — growing from 26 stu-dents in 2006 to nearly 500 in 2013.
Programs included: a two-week summer theater intensive, culmi-nating in a musical production;
School of Rock Camp; Band and Orchestra Camps; Acting Camp; Theater Summer Camp Pre-K to 1st Grade; and Audition Work-shops.
This fall, Ramsey connected with Mountain Vista High School choir directors Maja Buck and Schehera McKasson; Rock Can-yon High School Director Julia Dale; ThunderRidge High School Director Ryan Wolterstorff; and St. Mary’s Academy Director Ro-berta Hamilton Griggs “to advance the importance of music in our schools,” where there are some-times budgetary problems.
“I believe school music and art programs are a critical compo-nent of a student’s development towards American ingenuity and innovation by fostering creativity. I believe we can change the land-scape of our culture through the performing arts through leader-ship, empowerment, character and community,” Ramsey said.
Next year, the plan is to move PAA from summer programs to year-round. (More about that in January.)
if you goThe St. Luke’s PAA Holiday Festival perfor-
mances will be at 6 and 8 p.m. on Dec. 13 at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, 8817 S. Broadway, Highlands Ranch. Admission: $10, tickets available at stlukespaa.org. Students and families are encouraged to bring donated items for a student-chosen charity.
Art meets occupation for life coachBoudreau applies same philosophy to painting, clientsBy Jennifer [email protected]
Once upon a time, Nancy Boudreau worked as a senior consultant in the ivory castle of Price-waterhouseCooper in New York City. Today, she traverses a world of water, color and emotion in an office in the heart of downtown Littleton.
“I have had amazing experiences in business, but I felt like I was living my life in constriction,” she said.
Boudreau spent most of her life on the East Coast. But when the desire for more freedom crept in, she headed west, as many do. She land-ed in Tucson for a while, exploring her artistic side.
Then she discovered watercolors, igniting in her a deep connection with its life force.
“It connects me with the source of all life in a way like nothing else,” she said. “And water, what an amazing medium to work with. It’s changed my relationship with water. Water heals and fights disease and changes itself according to what’s going on in the room.”
Boudreau says that concept of change not only runs through her art, but also through her choice of vocation. She’s been an occupational therapist working with autistic kids for more than 20 years, and more recently added life coach to her resume.
“I can’t separate the two anymore,” she said. “It’s pretty amazing. I believe we are all born to be uniquely creative. We need to keep that fire, that spark, going. We are electrical, chemical beings that are changing from moment to mo-ment. I tap into that with clients, the possibility of where you can go by letting go of old stuff.”
She says her experience gives her a unique perspective on the lives of families with special-needs kids.
“The parents are often very stressed out and don’t understand why their children are chal-lenged the way they are,” she said. “… We are not allowed to diagnose, but we are able to see what the underlying issues are and address those without having to label the child.”
For more information about Boudreau, her art or her practice, visit www.corediscovery-coaching.com or call 720-505-7027.

opinions / yours and ours
Joining forces with trust in tough tidesSurvey results about trust always turn
our heads.As the saying goes we build credibility
by the teaspoon and lose it by the bucket when we make a mistake in our line of work.
A recent Gallup survey indicated peo-ple have confidence in newspapers with 9 percent at a “great deal” and 14 percent at “quite a lot.” It represented a slip from two years earlier when the numbers were 12 percent and 16 percent respectively.
This year our lot was nestled below TV news but above big business in the bot-tom half of the summarized list. HMOs took the bottom spot, and the military took the top spot with 43 percent at “great deal” and 33 percent “quite a lot.” By the way, nice work by small business taking second place.
And another recent survey, the annual governance survey Gallup poll, pointed out that confidence in government’s
ability to handle international problems tallied a low with 49 percent expressing a great deal or a fair amount of confidence, reportedly 2 percentage points down from the previous mark of 51 percent in 2007.
But just this past week, we found sad numbers from another recent survey – The Associated Press-GfK Poll, conducted by GfK Public Affairs & Corporate Com-munications – that points to an erosion of trust person to person. In broad strokes, the survey mirrors reported trends that the percentage of people who believe most people can be trusted is in decline.
The survey results asked respondents to share how much they trust “people who they may not know very well” in various
situations. The highest level of trust came for “people who have access to your medi-cal records when you visit a doctor or hos-pital people,” with 50 percent choosing “a great deal/quite a bit.” Even in this top category, 29 percent said “just somewhat,” and 17 percent said “not much or not at all” in the same category.
The highest level of distrust was in the category of “people driving the cars around you when you’re driving, walking or biking,” with 39 percent at “not much” or “not at all,” which makes sense given the random interactions on the streets.
The three lowest levels of trust came in situations that are generally more random, such as interactions with people who swipe credit cards, people driving cars around you, and people met while traveling.
The three highest levels of trust gen-erally involved where the relationship may be less random and in some cases
involve an ongoing relationship, such as with people who have access to medical records, people who prepare food, and people meet while traveling or away from home.
Seems like the more people are con-nected by the conveniences of modern life, the more disconnected they are in other ways, such as building trust. We no-tice that trust is stronger in smaller circles where people have repeated interactions with the people who make up their lives. While we do our best to increase trust and confidence from our offices, we see an effort that needs to take place neighbor by neighbor, group by group.
It’s not too early for a New Year’s resolu-tion. Be a joiner, join a local organization, learn how it works and get to know the people involved. And if you are already involved, look for another opportunity. Survey says – stronger connections bring more trust.

Thanksgiving leftovers are calorie-free treat
Don’t you just love Thanksgiving left-overs? It could be the full meal just reheat-ed and enjoyed as if it were Thanksgiving all over again. It could also be turkey soup, turkey salad, or turkey sandwiches, I love them all equally. And wouldn’t you agree that mashed potatoes and gravy just seem to taste even better on the second day?
As much as I enjoy tasty reminders of the holiday, my favorite leftovers are the feelings of gratitude and appreciation for those very special people in my life and the blessings I have received.
It sure does feel good when we can love on our friends and family members on Thanksgiving and shower them with the appreciation they deserve for stand-ing by us, supporting us and loving back. And I especially love the feeling when I can tell them again on Friday, Saturday and Sunday just how much they mean to me. Talk about amazing leftovers, it just doesn’t get any better than that.
Another benefit of gratitude leftovers is this, they are all calorie-free. We can partake in these tasty leftovers for days, weeks, months and years and never gain an ounce or an inch. As a matter of fact, with all of the energy we would use and excitement we would generate by actively pursuing things to be grateful for and people to appreciate, we may just lose a few ounces and inches.
As good as the turkey, mashed pota-toes and cranberry sauce tastes, after too many days in the refrigerator they will all eventually need to be consumed or thrown away. That doesn’t happen with gratitude leftovers, as they can last for as long as we are willing to recognize just how meaningful and important they are to our own happiness and the health of
our relationships.Most of us are fed and fed well at
Thanksgiving, we are nourished with tables and plates full of delicious food prepared by those closest to us that we have chosen to share the Thanksgiving holiday with. Sooner or later the initial meal and surplus goodies will be gone.
But when we feed our attitude and spirit with the meals of gratitude and appreciation, we can live off of that nour-ishment for a very long time. That is why we need to remember that the leftovers don’t stop when Thanksgiving Thursday is just a few days gone in the rearview mirror, the star of the Thanksgiving Thursday meal is not the turkey, but rather the remembrance and acknowl-edgment of all that we have and for all of those we hold closest to us.
I truly hope that you had a warm, wonderful, and happy Thanksgiv-ing, and I hope that you will enjoy the calorie-free leftovers for a very, very long time. I would love to hear all about your leftovers at [email protected] and thank you all for making this a better than good week.

Congressman Mike Coffman,I have so many questions. Not just for
you, but all so-called representatives. As you are the duly sworn representative of this district, would you mind answering a few questions?
Why should we, as a representative of the people, vote for you or any other politician? Why should we vote for repre-sentation at all? I only ask this question as it seems that most congressional rep-resentatives fail to represent the people that elect them into office. It is not just limited to partisan politics, but the entire system of the U.S. government lately.
Why do we currently have a star chamber and what is its purpose that is the FISA court? Why the secrecy and lack of accountability? Does the sitting government fear its people? What can you do about the rising concerns of an increasingly paramilitary citizen police force? What is the purpose of using a
SWAT team to serve warrants for non-violent offenders? Is it control of the populace? It should be known that there are more U.S. citizens killed by police than from foreign or domestic terrorism.
I never agreed with the implementa-tion of the Patriot Act. The name itself sounds so patriotic, but it is nothing of the sort and is very antithetical to the entire U.S. ideology.
Why do corporate interests seem more important than citizen interests to all politicians? Does the common citizen that does donate to a campaign have any voice anymore?
Sorry for all the questions. I just don’t feel represented by anyone anymore ex-cept Google, Microsoft, Apple, Comcast and all of the rest of the megalopolies.
Hoping for change that I will most likely never see,

A breakfast toast to good companions
Have you had a circumstantial break-fast lately? That’s what I call a breakfast that impresses you, and not just because of the food. You remember it because of whom you are with, or where you are, or the timing.
On your honeymoon, eggs have never tasted better. Or worse.
You just came back from a funeral, and you can’t even taste your food.
Your best friend is sitting across the table from you. He just flew in from north-ern California.
I just fixed breakfast, and I won’t remember what I ate an hour from now, especially if I do the dishes. There were no circumstances. Now, if I get food poison-ing, that will change everything.
I thought about my best circumstantial breakfast and my worst, and I came up with both of them right away. The best was almost too easy. It was on a Sunday at the Brown Palace.
I have never seen so much food. It was either all right or all wrong. That’s the way I feel when I watch “Man v. Food.” Adam Richman attempts to eat more food in 30 minutes than most of us eat in a week. And more than some homeless people eat in a month.
Richman is from Brooklyn, and he went to the same high school that Woody Allen went to, and my talented friend Susan went to: Midwood. He has a master’s de-gree from the Yale School of Drama, so he’s not just an everyday glutton.
He retired from competitive eating in 2012, and has lost 60 pounds.
I don’t like the word “brunch.” I don’t like the word “portmanteau” either, but that’s what the word “brunch” is, just like “smog.” Brunch is a combination of “breakfast” and “lunch.” Smog is a port-manteau of “smoke” and “fog.”
I am going to call what we had that morning at the Brown Palace breakfast, even though it was brunch. I am not inter-ested in All You Can Eat, but the circum-stances were favorable for the choice.
My best friend was in town from north-ern California, and sitting next to him was my sister, who was in town from suburban Detroit. I would have been happy with a sponge on my plate. Instead I had prime rib and asparagus tips, and about ten other things. I may have had turkey and dressing. There could have been salmon on my plate at one time.
Choosing the worst was a snap. UCLA

goofed up my student deferment, and I was notifi ed by mail that a pre-induction physical was required. UCLA assured me that the deferment would be processed — after the physical.
If you know Los Angeles you know MacArthur Park. You may know MacAr-thur Park if you don’t known Los Ange-les, because of the Jimmy Webb song. It’s an awful song.
The physical was performed a block away. Things were done to me that I would rather not discuss, and after it was over, they handed me a coupon for a free breakfast.
Why didn’t I just get in my Volkswa-gen and go back to West Los Angeles?
Because there was nothing in the refrig-erator, and how bad can any breakfast be? I don’t know how to cook, but I can make a decent breakfast.
I don’t remember the name of the place. It could have been Puddled Eggs, or Suspicious Hash, or Mush of Pork? They all describe the gobbets on my plate.
I said that I would have been happy with a sponge on my plate at the Brown Palace, because I was with my best friend and my sister, who would make up for almost anything on the menu. That’s not really true.
If Mike and Cindy had been with me at Puddled Eggs it wouldn’t have helped. The orange juice was poached.

Pharmaceutical bill shows bipartisanship Located on every gallon of milk at any
grocery store in the state of Colorado is a bar code that contains the history of that particular gallon — what dairy farm it originated from, where it was pasteurized, and when it expires, among other things. If there is a contaminated batch or an out-break of disease, offi cials can trace where this milk came from and quickly respond.
If you were to wander over a few more aisles at that same grocery store, to the pharmacy, you may be surprised to learn that no similar system of protection is in place. In fact, pharmacists cannot deter-mine with any certainty where a prescrip-tion drug has been and whether it has been secured or safely stored on its way to the pharmacy.
Making matters worse, there is no uni-form oversight of this supply chain, where prescription drugs pass through many dif-ferent hands (manufacturers, distributors, dispensers, and re-packagers). All that ex-ists is a patchwork of state regulations that vary enormously from state to state.
Compare that to airport security. If every major U.S. airport had different security processes, with some easier to circumvent than others, imagine which one a terrorist would prefer.
This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. In 2009, nearly 130,000 vials of insulin where stolen, left unrefrigerated, and later found across the country in a na-tional pharmacy chain after patients be-gan reporting poor control of their insulin levels. Less than 2 percent of the insulin was ever recovered. And just a year ago, contaminated compounded drugs from a
center in New England caused a meningi-tis outbreak, which killed 64 people.
All that’s about to change.A few weeks ago, the most comprehen-
sive drug safety bill in a quarter-century became law. The Drug Quality and Secu-rity Act would track prescription drugs from the time they are manufactured to the moment they are delivered to the drugstore. Like UPS or FedEx, but for pre-scription drugs instead of packages. And it won’t add a penny to our defi cit.
These supply chain security provisions are the culmination of more than two years of bipartisan work we did with Sena-tor Richard Burr, a Republican from North Carolina, in conjunction with a wide range of business and consumer groups. In a dysfunctional Congress that has deserved-ly earned its reputation for unprecedented levels of partisan gridlock, this bill passed both the House of Representatives and the Senate unanimously. It is a shining example of what can be achieved when we put our political differences aside and
work to tackle tough problems.Our common-sense proposal will help
reduce the burden of a cumbersome, patchwork regulatory system, driving costs down, while also protecting families from counterfeit or tainted drugs. Now we’ll know who has handled the medicine we take and give to our kids and where and when they handled it.
If Colorado fruit growers can track a peach from the tree to the store, consum-ers should reasonably expect the same level of scrutiny for their prescription drugs. Pharmacists in Colorado fi ll more than 60 million prescriptions every single year, and for many of us, the medications we take can mean the difference between life and death. Families purchasing these drugs deserve to know they are safe. Now, with the bipartisan and pragmatic Drug Quality and Security Act, they can have that peace of mind.
Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

Baking is popular come the holiday season, and the following recipe for “Triple-Chocolate Cookies” from Michael Recchiuti and Fran Gage’s “Chocolate Obsession” (Stewart, Tabori & Chang) is sure to add some joy to an already festive time of year.
Triple-Chocolate CookiesMakes about 48 cookies7 ounces unbleached all-purpose flour1-1/2 ounces unsweetened natural cocoa
powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda6 ounces unsalted butter with 82 percent
butterfat, at room temperature3-1/2 ounces granulated cane sugar4-1/2 ounces dark brown cane sugar1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract1/2 Tahitian vanilla bean, split horizontally1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel in fine grains3 ounces 41 percent milk chocolate, roughly
chopped3 ounces 65 percent chocolate, roughly
chopped
To make the dough:Sift the flour, cocoa and baking soda together
in a bowl. Set aside.Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer
fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until creamy. Add both sugars and the vanilla extract. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the bowl. Sprinkle the salt over the top. Beat on medium speed just until combined.
Reduce the speed to low. Add the dry ingredi-ents in three additions, pulsing the mixer to in-corporate each addition before adding the next one. Pulse just until a crumbly dough forms. Add both chopped chocolates and mix on low speed just until incorporated.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead a few times to incorporate any crumbs.
Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a log about 11/4 inches in diameter and 12 inches long. As you roll, gently push the ends toward the center occasionally to prevent air pockets from forming and to keep the logs at an even
thickness.Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refriger-
ate until firm, at least three hours or up to three days.
To bake the cookies:Preheat the oven to 325 F. Line the bottoms
of two 12-by-18 inch sheet pans with parchment paper.
Remove the logs from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Using a ruler to guide you and a sharp knife, cut each log into rounds 1/2-inch thick.
If the dough crumbles as you cut it, reshape each slice. Place the rounds on the prepared pans, spacing them 11/2 inches apart.
Bake on the middle shelves of the oven, ro-tating the pans 180 degrees halfway through the baking time, until set but soft enough to hold a slight indentation when pressed with a fingertip, about 14 minutes. Let cool completely on the pans on wire racks.
Store in an airtight container at room tem-perature for up to 1 week.
Cookies are perfect holiday indulgence
The holiday season is known for many things, not the least of which is all those special treats that find their way onto holiday tables each year. Though moderation should reign when indulging in delicious holiday treats, what would the season be without a few extra cookies and confections?

Disabled teen finds spot on DU roster Pioneers hockey team welcomes local boy By Ryan Boldrey [email protected]
Adam Encrapera wheeled his chair into the University of Denver locker room fol-lowing the Pioneers’ 3-1 victory over Air Force Nov. 23 at Magness Arena.
Immediately, cheers erupted from the DU hockey team and a chant of “Adam, Adam, Adam,” quickly gained steam. The Pioneers were now 1-0 with their new-est teammate — a 14-year-old Highlands Ranch youth who is one of just 500 people worldwide known to have Alstrom syn-drome, a rare genetic disorder that affects every organ in the body with exception of the brain.
Adam was diagnosed with AS at age 3. Legally blind and hard of hearing, the Cresthill Middle School eighth-grader has had fi erce battles with liver disease and diabetes, has experienced countless sei-zures, had heart and kidney problems, had two back surgeries and spends his nights in bed hooked up to a breathing machine. In the past three years alone, he has also had just shy of 20 trips to the emergency room.
On Nov. 19, in a special ceremony, he signed a letter of intent to become an hon-orary member of the Pioneers for the du-ration of the 2013-14 season, in which he will not just attend games, but get to be part of pre- and post-game activities with the team.
“Adam is a local kid, likes hockey, is a big sports fan and it just seemed like a good fi t for us, something all the guys are really excited about getting involved with,” said DU sophomore defenseman Wade Ben-nett, who is recovering from an injury and watched the Air Force game with Adam
and his family in the stands.“We are truly initiating him into the
Pioneer family,” Bennett continued. “It’s meant to be a friendship. He is one of our brothers now and we want to bring him as much joy as we can when he is around the rink and be there for him when things maybe aren’t going so well for him off the ice.”
Adam has his own stall in the Pioneer locker room, nameplate and all, and was also given a No. 99 jersey. He said he is still
getting to know all the guys’ names and doesn’t have a favorite player yet, but so far the experience has been special.
“I’m going to try to get to many games as I can,” said Adam, who can’t hear with-out his hearing aids and listens to the game on his headphones while at the rink.
A former adaptive hockey player, Adam used to use a hockey stick as a cane when he was little. And while he has spent a lot of time around his older brother Luke’s hock-ey and baseball teams, he has never truly
had a team of his own, until now.“Every day is a challenge,” said his
mother, Susan Encrapera. “When you can balance it with something that can give him hope, it encourages him and makes him feel like part of something. It helps him get through rough times.”
Now, thanks to Team IMPACT — the national nonprofi t organization that made the match — and the Pioneers hockey team, Adam has 25 new brothers to help him through those rough times.

Toys subject of art show Salon’s walls display variety of artworks By Tom Munds [email protected]
In keeping with the season, the new art show at Cuttn’ it Loose Salon features paintings and drawings about toys as well as some handmade toys.
The new show, titled “Babes in Toy-land,” opened with an artist reception Nov. 21 in the salon located at 901 Englewood Parkway, at the northwest corner of the parkway and South Inca Street. Plans call for the works of art to remain on display until early January.
The works, like the subject, vary in scope and media. There are paintings done with watercolors, acrylics and even a few done in pencil like the drawings of
swings by new artist Kelli Jimerson.“I have always had a creative side and
decided to do something with it after the kids were raised,” Jimerson said. “I did some ceramics, then I started drawing. I decided to use charcoal and pencils. I didn’t take lessons. I taught myself and I learned techniques like shading by trial and error.”
Her artworks on display at the show are several pencil drawings of swings.
“When I draw, I try to catch the spe-cial moment like these swings waiting for someone to come and swing in them,” the artist said. “I loved swings when I was little, so I decided to draw swings. I drew them and, if I could change anything, I probably would put in backgrounds.”
She said she plans to continue to draw, and her quest is to live in a place where there is a tree where she can put up a swing so she can swing on it anytime the spirit moves her to do it.
Artist Kelli Jimerson talks about her drawings of swings. Her works are on display at Cuttn’ it Loose Salon’s latest show of works of local artists called, “Babes in Toyland.” Photo by Tom Munds

Thanksgiving is real deal for crash survivor Man meets with team that saved his life
By Jennifer Smith [email protected]
It might sound cliché, but Roger Dean really does have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season.
“It was a whole lot of events that individ-ually don’t matter, but came together,” said the Parker resident.
On Nov. 29 of last year, Dean was heading to pick up his granddaughter from school in his small Chevy S-10 pickup when a drunk driver changed his life forever.
He was stopped at a light along with several other cars when a lifted Ford F250 — a very large pickup — literally ran over his truck. Fortunately, an off-duty lieuten-ant with South Metro Fire Rescue was a few cars ahead of Dean and quickly called in the team of fi rst responders that saved his life.
Dean was able to thank that team Nov. 20 at Littleton Adventist Hospital, where he stayed for 60 days, when his rescue became a case study for trauma nurses. It was the fi rst time he had been so bluntly presented with his own injuries.
“Frankly, I was pretty nervous about coming,” he said. “But I kind of worked myself up to it. I’ve kind of been analytical about it. … It’s a little troublesome, but I’m OK with it.”
He listened as the paramedics described how they found him slumped across the bench seat with his head smashed into the passenger window, face crumpled, one eye hanging out of the socket, blood coming out of both ears. Two things were clear: Dean hadn’t been wearing a seatbelt, and get-ting him out of the vehicle was going to be a challenge.
They were clear for the same reason —
at the time, Dean weighed somewhere be-tween 450 and 475 pounds. And perhaps unfortunately for him, he was conscious.
“But he had a very calm demeanor, which is great,” said Dusty Stevens, Franktown fi re-fi ghter.
Dean was able to help keep his own air-way clear, freeing his rescuers up to get him loaded up and on his way to LAH’s emer-gency room.
“Roger had more anesthetics than I’ve ever seen,” said Kim Muramoto, director of trauma programs.
Dean watched as Dr. Mark Elliott showed a graphic video of the procedure he used to try to save his damaged eye.
“Sorry, Roger, that it didn’t help,” said El-liott.
“That’s OK, you guys did everything you could,” said Dean.
Muramoto described the challenges of sending him through the CAT scan, which is rated for 475 pounds. If he were to come into contact with the sides, the results wouldn’t be usable, and it could be dangerous to him, she said.
She personally walked through with him to ensure that didn’t happen.
Trauma surgeon Dr. Donald Conner said he placed two operating tables together to work on Dean. He described Dean’s crushed chest, fractured sternum and head injuries.
“It’s amazing how God has built the face,” he said. “It’s kind of like a built-in crumple zone. A lot of his scalp was detached from his skull.”
He only had to endure one follow-up facial surgery, as it was determined braces would fi x the rest of the damage.
“I really was blessed,” he said. “Things just went well for me, and I’m appreciative.”
Dean says he’s gotten a new outlook on life since the accident, and thinks his sense of humor has gotten better.
“He’s a different man,” confi rms wife JoDee. “New and improved.”

Show a winter Centennial strip malls get facelifts Renovation continues at bustling shopping hub By George Lurie [email protected]
Two busy Centennial shopping cen-ters near the intersection of Arapahoe Road and University Boulevard are get-ting major facelifts.
The King Soopers in the Cherrywood Square Shopping Center is currently un-dergoing a multimillion-dollar renova-tion that will expand the grocery store by 18,000 square feet and across Univer-sity Boulevard, a new Larkburger is under construction, set to open early next year. The popular “all natural, gourmet burger and fries” restaurant will serve as anchor tenant for the new development at the west end of the Dry Creek center.
Both the Cherrywood Square and Dry Creek shopping centers are more than 30 years old, but have been updated and ex-panded in recent years as they have be-come increasingly busier.
Construction work on the $4 million King Soopers expansion started this fall and is scheduled to be completed in June 2014. KTK General Contracting Limited is the general contractor on the project.
“It’s been going really well so far,” said Matt Koppenhafer, owner and project
manager for KTK, adding that the project is ahead of schedule.
The King Soopers store, which origi-nally opened in July 1978, will close dur-ing part of January in order to allow for interior renovations to be completed.
Plans call for a new deli, produce sec-tion and additional check stands. Other improvements include new indoor-out-door seating areas, a sushi and cheese is-land, a new pharmacy and new fl ooring, lighting and an HVAC system.
“Some people were upset when we started because we removed some trees and took up some of the parking lot with construction equipment,” said Koppen-hafer, who added that there are plans to redo the parking lot and add new trees and additional landscaping.
“When we’re done,” he said, “it’s going to be one of the largest and most beauti-ful grocery stores in the area.”
In the new section of the Dry Creek Shopping Center, Max Muscle, a sports nutrition store located next to Larkburg-er, opened just before Thanksgiving.
Steve Peckar, managing broker for J&B Building Corp., which manages the shopping center, said “business has re-ally picked up recently” and his com-pany has lease commitments for two of the three remaining vacancies which will be a pasta and seafood restaurant and a “pre-packaged, ready-to eat meal outlet.”

Admission is free at Littleton Museum By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]
Despite a dis-tinct chill in the air, a large crowd turned out for the opening re-ception of the Littleton Fine Arts Board’s an-nual Own an Original Com-petition win-ners on Nov. 21. The bright, light show is a good antidote to winter blahs. There seem to be more unusual tech-niques than I recall in the many previous (more than 40) OAO shows.
Juror Margaretta Gilboy se-lected 66 pieces of art from a much larger group of submis-sions by 125 artists, all from Colorado. They run from a large “Phoenix Rising” mixed media work to a small, bright blue stoneware tea set, with a great variety of artistic visions. Al-low time to look closely when visiting, so you notice details such as the typewriter keys in Michelle Lamb’s delightful as-semblage, “Reliquary of St. Ob-solescence.”
Gilboy has a lengthy list of exhibitions in her biography, as well as inclusion in museum and private collections. She teaches at the Denver Art Stu-dents League. Visitors can view three paintings by Gilboy that
refl ect her worldview, including a blend of cultures, to the right of the exhibit entrance.
Her picks for the show are varied and intriguing, linked by expert technique in assorted media. She was surprised at
how different piec-es looked on the wall, compared to their appearance on the slides from which she made her selections. She particularly paused at Stefan Begej’s “To Infi nity and Beyond,” with its exploded Buzz Lightyear fi gure, to exclaim about the difference.
“Winery Afternoon,” an acrylic painting by Eldon Ward of Fort Collins, was awarded Best of Show. The painting, which gives us a view through a window to the outside lawn and a relaxed couple on the grass, refl ects Ward’s career in architectural drafting, design, landscape design, project man-agement and more.
We will have the opportunity to view a large selection of his work next summer, since the Best of Show winner is given the chance to hold a one-per-son show the following year.
“The spaciousness makes me feel happy,” Gilboy said of Littleton artist rita derjue’s large acrylic on canvas, “View From the Studio,” which won First Place. The bright, light palette derjue chose frames the moun-tain view she can see from her home studio window — a view she fi ercely protects.
Gilboy, who has also worked in ceramics, gave Second Place to Ileana Barbu’s gleaming “Summer,” a wall-hung sculp-tural piece created in white por-celain. “It’s just so technically
amazing,” said Gilboy.Third Place went to Anna
Kaye’s small, subtle graphite on paper drawing, “Sterling Braid,” another work that invites a close look.

Skillful staging tells a sad story Wartime fears play role in play at Vintage By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]
In many instances, we complain about the transition of a well-loved book to fi lm and stage, but Kevin McKeon’s adaptation of the best-selling “Snow Falling on Cedars” by David Guterson works quite well — due in large part to a skillful director, Sam Wood.
The complicated story starts in 1954 with Kabuo Miyamoto (Dale Li) on trial for the murder of Carl Hein, who had been a childhood friend.
The script then proceeds to tell the back-story through numerous fl ashbacks: to a
teenage love affair between Ishmael Chambers (Ben Cowhick) and Hatsue Mita-moto (Arlene Rapal); to the Japanese-American farmers who raised strawberries and wanted to buy more land; to the announcement of the Pearl Harbor bombing; the growing prejudice against — and eventual arrest and internment of — Japanese-American citizens who were residents of the island in Puget Sound where the story takes place.
Maria Cheng as Fujiko Imada and Rob Payo as Hisao Imada refl ect another sort of prejudice in warning their daughter, Hat-sue, against dating a white boy because
“you couldn’t trust them.”The set is a simple sug-
gestion of a waterfront with minimal set pieces from which the audience is transported to the Man-zanar Relocation Camp in Central California — and elsewhere. (It was one of 10 in the U.S., includ-ing Amache in southeast-ern Colorado, where 110 Japanese-Americans were incarcerated during World
War II.)There is a battle scene where Ishmael is
wounded and a series of fl ashbacks inter-spersed with courtroom arguments and witness-questioning by Nels Gudmunds-
son (veteran actor Roger Simon, who actu-ally is a lawyer), defending Miyamoto, and prosecutor Alvin Hooks (David Cervera).
Lighting technician Jen Orf had ongoing responsibility in staging this play. The light-ing in the small, long and narrow studio theater highlighted numerous fl ashbacks clearly, moving the complex story along to its conclusion.
Director Sam Wood and a polished cast had their timing precise as we transitioned back and forth through the years.
A strong cast and well-written script re-mind us of an unfortunate piece of history we may have forgotten. I hope some audi-ence members will be moved to fi nd the book at their library and enjoy Guterson’s fi ne writing after seeing “Snow Falling on Cedars.”
IF YOU GO“Snow Falling on Cedars,” adapt-
ed from David Guterson’s award-winning novel by Kevin McKeon, plays through Dec. 15 at Vintage Theater’s studio theater, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $25/$20 ad-vance, 303-856-7830, vintageth-eatre.com.

Christmas Sing-Along is holiday on Hampden Annual concert set for Englewood By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]
It all began about 10 years ago when Christy Wessler started a holiday sing-along with her Swallow Hill Music Associa-tion students.
“It has morphed,” she said. “I told my-self: Next year we can do this … And it has become a concert.” The Christymas Carol-ers were formed from her voice students and as the audience grew, a larger space was needed.
Hampden Hall at the Englewood Civic Center offered a well-designed concert hall that was still close to the Swallow Hill neighborhood, so “Christy Wessler’s 11th Annual Christmas Sing-Along” will be pre-
sented there at 7 p.m. Dec. 13.
She hopes to expand to a broader base of followers through the move.
Wessler, who lives in Centennial, is music di-rector at Denver’s Unity on the Avenue Church at 17th and Dahlia. She also teaches voice and performance classes regularly at Swallow Hill, where she served as a board member for nine years.
She is a singer, songwriter, director, guitarist and recording artist. In the mid-1980s, she studied classical voice, but her favorite genres are folk and country music.
Two trios with which she performs, Strum Therapy and Zelda Blue, will be fea-tured on the concert program. Wessler will be both emcee and soloist.
She and the Chris-tymas Carolers, ac-companied by pianist Pamela Weng, will lead the audience in tradi-tional carols.
Well settled into a career as a performer, Wessler, a mother of four grown children and a grandmother, re-
calls a somewhat rough start.“I was smart in high school and started
college majoring in social work and mi-noring in math — I hated everything and dropped out for a year and a half. My moth-er suggested I consider a drama major and I loved it!”
She fortunately found her groove and has been performing ever since. Her most recent CD is “Angels Without Wings,” about the specialness of children with disabilities.

Day’s birds are numbered Audubon uses volunteers for Christmas tally By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]
Family members of all ages are invited to participate in an event that started in 1900 in New York’s Central Park and now extends through the U.S., Latin America and elsewhere in the world. Bird watch-ing is said to be the No. 1 sport in America, according to the Outdoor Industry Foundation, said a story in Colo-rado Business magazine.
In 1900, Dr. Frank Chapman, ornitholo-gist at the American Museum of Natural History at the north end of Central Park, suggested that instead of going out and shooting as many small birds as possible, people should go out and count them on a given day and compile a record of what they spotted.
He sparked a movement that draws am-ateur “citizen scientists” and professionals out early in the morning on a given day be-tween mid-December and early January to count birds seen within a set boundary and turn in the count to the Audubon Society.
Results are tallied and sometimes they highlight an environmental threat or evi-dence of climate change, which will help conservationists in efforts to protect birds when and where possible.
On Dec. 14, the Audubon Society of Greater Denver invites birders of all abilities to its Nature Center at Chatfi eld from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a Christmas Bird Count and Holiday Party. Binoculars are available for loan and hot chocolate will bring added energy as families and individuals join the experts to see which feath-
ered friends are visiting Chatfi eld that day. Make bird ornaments and decorate cook-ies.
The event is free and there should be in-formation about Audubon’s ongoing edu-cational opportunities for all ages. (This center is especially adapted to share its enthusiasm with very young children and offers “Fledgling” programs.)
Those who are interested, but not free that day, can check for other bird count opportunities in Denver (Dec. 14), Denver Urban (Jan. 1 at numerous locations), and Douglas County Dec. 28 at Roxborough State Park Christmas Bird Counts. Please register at 303-973-9530, [email protected].
IF YOU GOThe Audubon Center is at 11280 Water-
ton Road, Littleton. Drive south on Wad-sworth to the south end of Chat� eld State Park and turn left into the marked parking lot.

Valor claims another state championshipBy Jim [email protected]
Valor Christian’s players held up one hand as they gathered near the goalposts under the Sports Authority Field scoreboard.
It was the Eagles’ adaptation of a high five.Valor won its fifth consecutive Colorado state
football championship Nov. 30 with a 56-16 romp over previously unbeaten Fairview in the Class 5A championship game.
The Eagles have captured one Class 3A title, two Class 4A crowns and now the past two Class 5A state championships.
In the five title contests, Valor outscored the opposition, 210-48.
Next season Valor will have its sights set on matching Limon’s all-time Colorado record of six consecutive state titles. The Badgers won six in a row between 1963-68.
Valor will graduate 19 seniors, but 60 players listed on the roster for the state championship game were underclassmen and a majority of them saw action during the season.
“I’m not sure about the future outside of we feel blessed to have some kids in our program who are great leaders, mature, humble and we expect them to fill the gap of leadership left by our seniors,” said Eagles coach Rod Sherman.
“We’ll see where we end up next year from an offensive and defensive standpoint. We have developed a legacy and tradition in this pro-gram. It’s not about winning, it’s about being prepared, playing as hard as we can and playing with class.”
Valor, an independent, could end up play-ing in the Centennial League in 2014. There are six alignment proposals to be considered Dec. 5 and five of them have the Eagles joining the Centennial League.
“Definitely, this team can keep winning,” in-sisted junior defensive back Brian Dawkins Jr. “All I have to say is, bring it on.”
Valor brought it on early and often against Fairview as the Eagles (13-1) dominated from the opening kickoff with a strong defense that con-tained the Knights’ prolific passing attack and an offense that struck quickly but also mounted scoring drives of 80 (twice) and 71 yards.
The Eagles never punted in the title game that drew a crowd of 11,482 fans.
Valor kept pressure on Fairview quarterback Anders Hill and scored three times on its first four plays to jump ahead 21-0 in the first 6:10 of the game. The Eagles used a 35-point spree to swell their lead to 56-8 in the fourth quarter.
The last 21:34 of the contest was played with a running clock, and Sherman shuffled reserves into the game midway through the third quarter.
“I never in my wildest dreams thought the score would have got this way,” said Sherman. “We played great defense. We were able to bring some different pressures. We were able to go up 14-0 and it made it harder for their offense and defense. It was huge for us to get the lead be-cause they hadn’t had to play from behind too much.”
Valor’s offense, operating behind a stellar line, did its part too.
Christian McCaffrey, Valor’s senior run-ning back who signed a letter of intent to play at Stanford, rushed for 129 yards on 12 carries and scored twice. He also caught five passes for 92 yards and two TDs. In the second half, he touched the ball only once.
McCaffrey finished the season with 46 touch-downs, which gave him 141 in his career. He wrapped up his prep career by scoring at least one TD in 43 straight games.
“I so happy, I can’t express how I feel,” said McCaffrey who was part of the senior class that won four state titles. “All our guys played well. Going out with a broom is something kind of special.”
Quarterback A.J. Cecil was 15-of-16 for 245 yards and four touchdowns. He rushed for 65 yards and his only flaws on an otherwise perfect game were an interception and fumble.
“I thought A.J. played arguably his best game of the year,” said Sherman.
Valor senior Paul Grizzle, in his first season as a kicker, booted eight extra-point kicks, giving him single-season state records for points (85) and consecutive conversions.
Eric Lee Jr., Marcus Wilson, Stone Watson and Nathan Whatmore also had TDs for the Eagles, who have won 22 straight state playoff games.
Valor’s defense forced three turnovers and thwarted a Fairview offense that came into the game averaging 45 points. The Knights had de-feated three Douglas County teams (Mountain Vista, Douglas County and ThunderRidge) en route to the title game.
Fairview, which had passed for an average of 315.5 yards per game, had 208 yards passing but finished with 199 yards of total offense on 63 plays. The Knights had minus 9 yards rushing as Valor, the No. 2 seed, had seven sacks.
The top-seeded Knights held a 36:38-26:22 edge in time of possession and ran 14 more of-fensive plays than the Eagles, who finished with 523 yards of total offense.
“We respect Valor,” said Fairview coach Tom McCartney. “They were tremendous in every as-pect of the game. The reason the score got out of hand was Valor’s play, because we came into the game ready and prepared. We may not have taken care of the ball like we usually do, but give them credit because they played an outstanding game on both sides of the ball.”
Valor’s only loss of the season came by a field goal at the hands of Bingham, a Utah high school that won that state’s large-school cham-pionship.

The team victory earned the school its fifth straight state football title. Photos by Tom Munds

Arapahoe senior made net gains Krantz excels all over volleyball court By Jim Benton [email protected]
Whitney Krantz feels comfortable any place on a volleyball court.
Krantz can play in the front row or the back row. Her versatility is one of the rea-sons the 6-foot Arapahoe High School se-nior was selected as the Colorado Commu-nity Media South Metro Volleyball Player of the Year.
“I’m what they call a six-rotation out-side hitter, which means I play in the front row and also in the back row,” explained Krantz. “Outside hitters don’t play in the back row, they just go and hit.
“I really enjoy the back row. It’s some-thing I used to struggle with a lot but I think back row and defense takes a little bit more confi dence than the front row because you really have to push yourself to go for a ball, you can’t hesitate because the second you hesitate you are not going to get the dig. I played all the way around, got a lot of court time, so that was fun.”
Krantz, who along with Grace Marlow were key players in leading Arapahoe to a runner-up fi nish in the Class 5A state tournament, fi nished the season with 295 kills (3.2 per set), 229 digs (2.5 per set), 47 blocks and 27 service aces.
“Generally the people that play in the back row are a little bit shorter and they are quick on their feet and always low and moving,” said Krantz. “When I fi rst started playing volleyball I didn’t really understand
how to get low to the ground.”Krantz was Arapahoe’s 2013 Most Valu-
able Player and coach Cara Seyers boasts about how Krantz was able to adapt wher-ever she was playing.
“She played all around,” said Seyers. “She was as important to our defense as she was to our offense.”
However, Krantz confessed she adores the offensive aspect of the game and ex-ecuting a successful spike.
“As an outside hitter, kills are one of my favorite parts of volleyball,” said Krantz, who has signed a letter of intent to play next season at Lehigh. “I worked a lot with my coaches on just mixing up my shots. There’s always room for improvement to become a better player.
“Overall it was a really fun season. I worked on improving my game, which my teammates helped a lot because it is a big team sport. They helped me not only work on my physical game but my mental game. It was probably the best season I’ve had in my high school career. Part of that was be-cause of experience and learning the game a little better.”

PICKING THE ATHLETES OF THE YEAR
CHOOSING COLORADO Community Media’s South Metro Athletes of the Year was a combined e� ort. Area coaches were asked for their thoughts, and their input was weighed heavily when CCM’s sports sta� made the � nal selection for each sport.
ELIGIBLE ATHLETES come from all the high schools in Douglas County, the high schools in the Littleton Public Schools District and from Cherry Creek High School.

Free throws can be arc of triumphBy Jim [email protected]
The outcome of many basketball games is decided from 15 feet away from the bas-ket.
“Free-throw shooting is one of the most important things in winning a basketball game,” said Valor Christian senior Garrett Baggett, who made 82 percent of his at-tempts from the charity stripe last season. “If you miss 10 free throws and lose by two points, if you had made five of 10 you win the game.”
Coaches substitute late in games not only to get good defensive or offensive players on the floor, but also to get better free-throw shooters in the lineup.
“It always comes down to free throws,” said Highlands Ranch coach Bob Caton. “Sometimes not just making a free throw but getting a lot of free throws too.”
Valor Christian coach Ronnie DeGray tries to make sure his players have their feet correctly aligned and their shooting methods are correct. After that, it us up to the player.
Coaches have numerous approaches such as free-throw ladders, team competi-tion and other shooting drills with awards and the usual running punishment to put pressure on players to make free throws during practice.
Free-throw shooting provides a chunk of almost every basketball practice.
“We like players to get comfortable,” ex-plained Caton. “Every kid when he shoots a free throw should have a pattern, whatever they like to do. Then you want to have the good form, the proper form. One thing you don’t do, if a kid is making a good percent of his free throws, you leave him alone. If he is not making a good percent of his free throws, then you work with him. Then you want repetition, where everything be-comes a habit.”
Baggett made 63 of 76 free-throw at-tempts and is one of the best returning south metro area boys players in free throw percentage.
“I have a routine I do before every free-throw shot,” said Baggett. “I’ll walk to the top of the key, look at the rim a little bit,
catch the ball and get a feel for it, take three dribbles to get in a rhythm, eyes on the rim and shoot it.”
The waving and other methods students use to distract free-throw shooters doesn’t bother Baggett.
“All the waving doesn’t usually bother me because I have my head down when I dribble so at the last second is when I pull up, look at the rim and shoot it,” he said. “So I really don’t see all that when I shoot the ball.
“It depends on the situation if I think about the importance of a free throw. If it’s a close game, I’ll think a little bit more. I just think about it like any other shot, it’s a routine that I’ve always had.”
Baggett got into a free-throw shooting routine early.
“I used to be homeschooled in middle school,” he recalled. “I’d finish my school work by noon and I’d just go out and
shoot. I’d shoot about 100 free throws a day. I think that’s where it developed. I could al-ways improve on my free-throw shooting. I’d like to shoot 90 percent this year.”
Other accurate free-throw shooters returning this season include Highlands Ranch’s Evan Motlong, who also hit 83 per-cent of his attempts (44 of 53). Lutheran’s James Willis (83 of 110) and Cherry Creek’s Griffin Parr (54 of 72) each connected on 75 percent, while Rock Canyon’s Mitch Lom-bard (56 of 77), Jake Holtzmann (72 of 99) of Chaparral and Cherry Creek’s Will Bower (37 of 51) were 73 percent shooters.
As a team, Cherry Creek made 74 per-cent of its free throws. Valor and Mountain Vista made 71 percent of their attempts in 2012-13.
Highlands Ranch ranked near the bot-tom of the Continental League, hitting 61 percent of its free throws.
“Sometimes it’s who gets fouled and if
he is a good shooter,” said Caton. “Last year we had a couple guys who didn’t shoot very well. If they had shot better, we would have been in great shape.”

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and building techniques. The thicker walls in our high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula on than in a conven onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we get 2½ mes MORE insula on in the a c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill!
WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT.WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS.
