Commissioner candidates square off District 1 hopefuls talk about range of issues at West Arapahoe Republican Forum By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com A state representative, a city council member and a man with more national than local political experience tried to win over local Republicans in a forum on Feb. 13, each making the case why they would be the best county commissioner. Littleton City Council member Phil Cernanec, Rep. Kathleen Conti and Paulo Sibaja, chairman of the Latino National
Republican Coalition Colorado, are all Republicans and so far the only candidates for District 1, which encompasses Bow Mar, Cherry Hills Village, Columbine Valley, Englewood, Littleton, Sheridan, Centennial west of Colorado Boulevard and unincorporated northern Arapahoe County. Cernanec first emerged on the local political scene in 2006, when he was elected to the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District board of directors. He was first elected to council in 2009, and was the mayor in 2014 and 2015. “I’m a strong cheerleader for our community,” Cernanec said. “… We need to Forum continues on Page 5

South Metro Fire Rescue board election coming up in May Staff report South Metro Fire Rescue is looking to fill six of seven seats on its board of directors. A regular election will be conducted May 3 to elect directors for districts B, C, D and F for terms of four years, and to elect directors to districts A and E to serve terms of two years. The election will be conducted with mail ballots. The South Metro Fire Rescue Fire Protection District started as a merger of the Parker Fire Protection District
and South Metro Fire Rescue in 2008. A fire authority was formed to provide fire and emergency medical services through a single, permanently integrated governmental entity. On Jan. 5, the two separate fire districts were completely consolidated into a single district named South Metro Fire Rescue Fire Protection District. The district serves all or portions of the cities of Castle Pines, Centennial, Greenwood Village, Lone Tree and Parker, along with portions of unincorporated Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The board of directors that represents the citizens,
businesses and visitors in the district is composed of seven eligible electors. Each is a resident or property owner within one of seven director districts, but is elected by all eligible voters in the South Metro Fire Rescue Fire Protection District. The May 3 election has been called to fill six of the seven director districts. Initial terms of two or four years have been assigned to each district, then board members can continue to serve, if re-elected, for additional four-year terms. There are no term limits. For more information or to register for the election, go to www.southmetro.org/410/Election-Information.

Salsa time At the beginning of the school year, students from Newton Middle School formed the Newton Salsa Society, a club dedicated to hard work — not on the dance floor, but in the school’s greenhouse. In September, students planted 10 varieties of vegetables and herbs, including everything needed to make salsa. After months of careful tending, the club harvested their produce and made their first batches of salsa last week. The Newton Middle School greenhouse has also served as the planting ground for many other student-driven ideas, facilitated by teacher Marc Goodreau.

Event puts focus on mental illness in teens Community members attend the “Healing Our Youth” event at Mountain Vista High School on Feb. 10. A workshop was held before and after the seminar to inform parents and staff on mental health services. Photo by Alex DeWind
About 40 parents and staff attend ‘Healing Our Youth’ presentation at Mountain Vista By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com Edward Mastronardi, 18, had difficulty processing and managing his emotions at a young age. He’d act out rather than communicate. “By the end of eighth grade,” he said, “I was depressed and angry.” He had two failed suicide attempts and started doing drugs to ease his social anxiety, he said. At 17, he moved out of his mother’s house. He “couldn’t participate in society.” Mastronardi, who conquered his addiction and is now the office manager of At Peace Therapy in Centennial, shared his journey with mental illness at a “Healing Our Youth” presentation at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch on Feb. 10. About 40 parents and staff members gathered in the auditorium to learn about mental illness in young people. He was accompanied by four other speakers with backgrounds as mental health advocates and counselors. The event was planned last fall by Healing Our Youth: Get Educated. The organization periodically hosts seminars at school districts across the metro area, including Littleton and Cherry Creek, to spread awareness and provide resources for help. Given the school’s recent events — the arrests in December of two 16-year-old students on charges of plotting to murder people at the school and the January death of a beloved head lacrosse coach — the seminar comes at an opportune time, said Donna Parisi, volunteer and committee member of Healing Our Youth: Get Educated. “This particular school is hurting as a whole,” she said. Mastronardi’s experience is similar to that of about one in five — or 20 percent — of young people in the U.S. who experience

a mental illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To put it into perspective, about 0.25 percent of young people are diagnosed with diabetes each year. A mental illness is a brain disorder caused by two factors — genes and the environment, said speaker Amy Gensler, an associate clinical professor and doctor at Parker Pediatrics. Genes are the blueprint of a person, and the environment consists of external factors, such as infection, drug exposure or emotional trauma. Fifty percent of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14 and 75 percent by age 24, Gensler said. “Mental disorders are true disorders of the brain,” she said. “They can’t be overcome through willpower.” Those mental illnesses include anxiety, depression, attention-deficit disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, eating disorders and more. Presenter Jocelyn Hilling, a counselor of At Peace Therapy, reminded the audience of how important it is to seek help when

stressed. People regularly take care of issues that cause pain or discomfort or which others can see. But when it comes to stress, people think they should know how to deal with it, she said. “We are dealing with it too late because we don’t know how to,” Hilling said. “This can be prevented when we open the door to healthy, open communication. If it goes untreated, it gets worse.” Oftentimes, people aren’t taught how to understand and deal with feelings of the heart and mind, Hilling added. “We all suffer — everyone suffers,” she said. “We all wake up feeling depressed sometimes and that’s OK. We all get angry at our kids sometimes and that’s OK.” She advised parents to look for pervasive signs in children’s behavior. If they are acting out in all situations, it’s most likely something more than teenager-related angst, she said. Signs of a mental illness should be addressed immediately, said Gensler, and parents should seek out a professional who
specializes in the brain. “It’s so important to diagnosis early, when the brain is able to change — it’s like plastic,” she said of the brain’s ability to adjust during early development. Presenter Gina Moore, the past president of Arapahoe and Douglas counties’ National Alliance on Mental Illness, said she ignored the signs of her son’s mental illness because “he’d always done well.” But after exhibiting abnormal signs, such as lighting trash cans on fire, experimenting with alcohol and tobacco and being unable to sleep well, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in eighth grade. Her son, 23, is now married and lives in Oregon. He has his first job and hopes to go back to school for a music degree. But Moore wishes she would have intervened sooner. “If you notice something about your kid, follow up and talk about it,” she said. “Pay attention to abnormal behaviors — it’s worth checking.” Mastronardi, who also overcame, depression and anxiety, reminded the audience that anything is possible and people often find strength in moments of despair. “You’re never sure of what you can accomplish until you’re shown what you can withstand,” he said. “If I can do it, anyone can.”

take the burden off of business formation so that jobs can be built. … The GOP is the ‘grand opportunity party.’” Conti, of Littleton resident, has served in the Colorado House of Representatives since being elected as a political newbie in November 2010.

there are currently 62 languages spoken. During the 2006-07 school year, there were just 43. Spanish is by far the most common, she said, but the range is across the world. The district changed how it teaches those students four years ago, and the program went from being rated adequate to excellent in just a year. This year, that work earned the program an award from the Colorado Department of Education, which came with a $30,000 grant. “We did a lot of professional development with it, and we took the kids on some field trips,” said Leensvaart. “Some of the kids had never been to the zoo before.” The key, she said, is what they call “coteaching.” Instead of pulling the kids out for a separate session with a language specialist, the specialist goes into the classroom. That way the kids get all the same curriculum as everyone else, and the social aspect of school is not compromised. “Kids learn a lot from each other,
able to get things done.” Sibaja, a native of Costa Rica, moved with his parents to the United States in 1997. The Centennial resident has worked on several national and state Republican committees, and moved to Colorado in 2012 to work on the Mitt Romney campaign for president. “I have chosen to adopt the values that make this country great,” he said. “… If we have to take the battle to Denver or Washington, you better believe I have the backbone to do it.” The event at Littleton’s Bemis Library was sponsored by the group West Arapahoe Republican Forum. All three stressed that their conservative values are solid, but all took some hits from their opponents. Sibaja called Conti a “politician of
failed promises,” citing low scores from conservative groups. Conti hit back, saying Sibaja does not hold “traditional Republican values,” noting he opposed a tax write-off for teachers’ school supplies. Cernanec got dinged on his support of urban renewal in Littleton. Conti said that despite the city having worked out deals with local special districts and Littleton Public Schools as far as how it affects their tax revenue, it still results in hits to their budgets at the state level. “TIF (tax-increment financing) is a cute little acronym, but a lot of people are fuzzy on the mechanics of it,” she said. Cernanec noted the property in question has been zoned for development for 30 years.
“The mayor doesn’t do it alone,” he said. “There are liability and property rights that are present. We looked to forge cooperative agreements. … These are valuable partners. We don’t want to be in a position of hurting anybody.” Asked about the biggest issues in the county, Sibaja said safety first, then infrastructure. Cernanec said he’s a strong advocate of local control. “The biggest one that jumps out at me is the breakdown of the family,” said Conti. She said she’d partner with local nonprofits on issues like drug use, mental health, childhood obesity and suicide.
good, bad or whatever,” said Leensvaart. To help make that work from a staffing perspective, certain schools on northern areas of the district have been designated as “program” schools: Centennial, East and Field elementaries, Goddard Middle School and Littleton High School. It’s a matter of demographics, explained Leensvaart. That’s where most of the lower-income families are, and data shows they need the most help. Research shows that by the age of 3, there is a 30 million-word gap between poor families and their middle-class counterparts. While the district can’t force families to send their children to one of the program schools, Leensvaart said most do, and the district provides free transportation. About 137 kids are being served in other schools. Board member Robert Reichardt noted the board places a priority on spreading diversity around the district. “There’s a tradeoff around segregating people to certain places,” he said, while acknowledging a lack of resources to fully staff every school for just a few students. Leensvaart said it takes most kids about three years to go from zero to proficient in English, and another two to four years to reach grade level.
For those brand-new to the country, there is a “newcomer” program that teaches them the basics, like how the lunch line works, and family liaisons that
helps parents find resources. “We don’t just stop there,” said Leensvaart. “Our eyes are always on how we are going to the student into the classroom.”

Climber to share story Kaltenbrunner has reached top of all peaks over 8,000 meters By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Austrian mountain climber Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner grew up hiking and skiing in mountains near her home and climbed her first major peak at 13. She also completed training as a nurse in Austria and worked in that capacity until 2003, when she summited her fifth peak higher than 8,000 meters, Nanga Parbat in Pakistan, and became a professional mountain climber. On Feb. 21 (7:30 p.m.) and Feb. 22 (10 a.m.), she will give a multimedia presentation at Lone Tree Arts Center about her adventure on K-2, the world’s second-highest peak, a program in the National Geographic Live international series. At 23, she realized her dream of summiting an 8,000-meter peak, Broad Peak in Pakistan (26,335 feet), and her future was cast. Her goal was to be the first woman to climb all 14 of the over-8,000-meter peaks, without supplementary oxygen In 2011, she reached the summit of

IF YOU GO Mountain climber Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner will talk, as part of a National Geographic Live series, about her ascent of K-2, the world’s second-tallest peak, at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 21 and 10 a.m. on Feb. 22 at Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree.

K-2, her 14th peak over 8,000 meters — despite new snow and avalanche danger. She was named National Geographic’s Explorer of the Year. According to a National Geographic online story, she wanted to climb from the remote Chinese side, along the most dangerous route. (K-2, with heavy snow and danger of avalanches, has taken the lives of one in four climbers who attempt to reach its summit.) Kaltenbrunner will use slides and video to illustrate her talk, which will also address her interest in the culture and people she has found. Her husband and climbing partner, Ralf Dujmovits, shot the photo that illustrates this story. He and others turned back on the K-2 expedition, while she pressed on to the summit.

‘Too late’ same as caring too little One of the toughest situations that ever happens to any traveler, especially someone traveling frequently on business, is when they have arrived at the airport too late and miss their flight. Whether it was traffic, weather, or just plain old bad planning and tardiness, upon arrival they find that the airplane has taken off without them. Has that ever happened to you? It has happened to me too, and for all of the reasons mentioned above. So here’s the thing, we may have been late for that particular flight, but usually there is a later flight that same day or a flight out the next morning. It’s late, but in most cases it’s never really too late. There have been so many times when I have found myself in conversations with friends, family members, customers, business owners and salespeople. And over the years I can’t tell you how many times I have heard someone say, with a bit of disappointment and too much “quit” in their voice, “I missed my opportunity, it’s too late.” Too late for what? Maybe it is too late for someone with a quitter’s mentality or for someone who only sees what’s behind them and not what’s in front of them. But it’s never too late for anyone who looks at each and every situation and only sees potential and opportunity.
It’s also never too late for anyone who has had a dream, a vision or a goal to accomplish something. How many stories have we heard or read about where someone has learned a new language, went back to school, jumped out of an airplane, started playing an instrument, Michael Norton opened a business or any number of other WINNING amazingly fulfilled WORDS dreams? I remember a time when I was coaching a young salesman. We were debriefing a meeting he had just held with a prospective customer and he was completely dejected. As I asked more about what happened he shared that he had made some rookie mistakes, made his presentation too soon, and didn’t even ask for the business. He said, “It’s too late, I lost this one.” Then I asked him if he knew for sure that the prospect had made a decision to go with another vendor. He shared with me that they had not and that there were a few more vendors left to make their presentation. I encouraged him to reach back out, share his concerns
about what he did wrong, and just be honest and sincere in asking for one more chance. In the end it wasn’t too late; the prospect allowed him to come back in, and he actually won the business. How many relationships, even marriages, ended because someone thought it was too late? Is it really too late to do the little romantic things that used to be done, too late to show a little more affection, too late to say “I love you,” too late to forgive, or too late to be forgiven? You see, it really is never too late, not unless we allow it to be. We can turn away from the airport and just not take that trip, we can give up on any prospective sale or opportunity, and we can choose to walk away from a relationship, we can do any of those things if that’s what we really want. But if we choose not to, all we have to do is change our thinking from “It’s too late” to “It’s never too late.” How about you? Is it too late for you or are you just getting started? I would love to hear all about what your next pursuit will be at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we look at life at any point as if we were just getting started and it really is never too late, it will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
Snowblower reveals that someone blew it I ran over a phone book with my snowblower this morning. I really wish I hadn’t. Shredded pages went everywhere. Here’s what happened. Someone left a new phone book on my front porch on the night of a recent snowstorm. The snow continued to fall, and it buried the book. So I didn’t see it. The sound was horrific. I thought I might have run over a rabbit. The book should never have been left on the porch in the first place. Years ago I asked all of them to stop delivering phone books to me. I hadn’t used one in 10 years or more, and I was getting two, three or more each and every year. Who uses phone books? Maybe some computer holdouts. Of course, at one time I did use them. But things have changed. I am not even listed. I was kind of pleased when I saw my name in one for the first time. But then I became the target of solicitors.
I would have all of them lined up and hit repeatedly with socks full of manure. I still get unwanted calls. I can block up to 30 numbers, but that’s it. I am concerned about the upcoming campaign calls, but I have my Swear Word Craig Marshall Smith Dictionary next to QUIET my phone for that DESPERATION and them. Anyway this got me thinking about other things that I — or we — have phased out, and I came up with a long list. Travel agents. Door-to-door salesmen and women. Johnny Cash was one. Table radios. But if you are looking for one, let me know. I can recommend the best. Or just watch “Big Fish.”
Student safety is crucial for nation School safety is not a topic my parents ever worried about. Unfortunately, today parents do worry about it because tragic events have captured the attention of the entire community. Safety in our schools is now top-of-mind for teachers, parents and students. I agree with this priority. The good news: Schools and districts across the 6th Congressional District have made safety a priority and are implementing new techniques and policies to keep our students safe. There are also things we can do at the federal level to assist. That’s why I joined the newly formed, bipartisan Congressional School Safety Caucus. The School Safety Caucus brings together education, law enforcement, government and private sector leaders to discuss ways to protect our nation’s schools. The caucus will focus on sharing best practices, increasing awareness of available solutions, and developing strategies and legislation that promotes school safety and security. In addition to joining the School Safety Caucus, I have already taken a number of actions to address this issue. Specifically, I have co-sponsored several bills to improve safety in our schools, including: • The School Safety Act: This bill would reauthorize appropriations for the match-
ing grant program for school security through fiscal year 2020. The program was created in 2001. But funding for it lapsed in 2011. It is past time that we fund this highly effective program once again. Grants would be used U.S. Rep. to achieve one or more of the following: Mike Coffman placement and use of GUEST metal detectors, locks, lighting and other COLUMN deterrent measures; security assessments; security training of personnel and students; coordination with local law enforcement; acquisition and installation of technology for expedited notification of local law enforcement during an emergency; and any other measure that may provide a significant improvement in security. • Mental Health First Aid Act: This measure requires the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to Coffman continues on Page 9
There’s one in Albert Finney’s bedroom. Turntables — although there are still lots of vinyl lovers. I know that by the time I croak, I will be completely out of touch with new technologies. I still have a land line. The new thing in automobiles is a sensor that brakes the car all by itself if you are about to run into someone. It further encourages distracted driving. One of my favorite memories (age 10) was a cross-country train ride. I get the urge about once a year to do it again. But who has the time for that anymore? Watches, maps, encyclopedias and daily newspapers. Remember when you could pick up a free paper newspaper at a gas station? Fortunately new technologies haven’t replaced everything. Like blue jeans and coffee cups. And bowling shirts, like the ones that pro bowlers wear, are just as ugly as ever. A friend of mine used to say, “Good things change and bad things get worse.” Smith continues on Page 9
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Arapahoe reports don’t tell whole story We can all agree with the superintendent and Littleton Public Schools’ desire to heal after the tragic shooting at Arapahoe High School. Having said that, however, I remain concerned about the lack of discussion on several startling and disturbing omissions in the “expert” and media reports and recommendations regarding the Arapahoe shooting. First, nowhere in the reports and recommendations was there mention of parents. Since most of the school shootings seem to have a common thread of inattentive, uninvolved parents and a troubled home, how can this major factor be ignored? Yes, there can always be better communication, but it must be remembered that parents are the first line of defense in regard to school violence. Second, nowhere was teacher-administrator workload mentioned. The thrust of the “expert” recommendations was to turn teachers and administrators into trained psychiatrists. Considering the current heavy workloads of teachers and administrators, this may be impossible, certainly unrealistic. Third, nowhere was education mentioned. Surely, everyone must be aware that the overall purpose of a school is to communicate the wisdom of the ages and to stimulate learnLetter continues on Page 9

Come on down to the Capitol We’ve started another legislative session at the Colorado Capitol and this is my last as a sitting senator, since I’m termed out at the end of 2016. So now’s your last chance to come to the Capitol and join me for 15 minutes or all day. I’ll bring you to the Senate floor or take you to committee, and you can see it up close and personal. After all, it is the people’s building and the people’s process, so it belongs to you. (It’s fascinating to hear what some people say and see how they vote.) We’re in session until the first week of May, so hope you can make it before then. If you’re unable to make it in person, the next best thing is watching the floor work on Channel 165, the Colorado Channel on cable. If you’re on satellite television, you don’t get that channel, but there’s streaming video online. It only covers portions of the floor work, but at least you can get an idea of what your representatives and senators are doing under the dome. In the meantime, as your state senator, I thought you’d like to know what I’m working on this year. I’m continuing to serve on

“
Coloring connects people to their child-self and it brings back some really great memories for people.” — Jennifer Lepke, licensed creative art therapist
Parker resident Chrissy Morin jumped feet first into the adult coloring craze. She has close to 20 different coloring books. Photos by Shanna Fortier
Zen between the lines Adult coloring books catch on as people look for relaxing activity By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com
C
hrissy Morin took her first leap into the adult coloring world through a cat coloring book. As a self-proclaimed cat nut, the book caught her eye. She grabbed some old colored pencils lying around the house and decided to give it a try. That was just the beginning. “I color at least three days a week,” said Morin, who now has about 20 coloring books. “I like to do it while I’m watching TV — I’m a multitasker. It also helps keep you from snacking.” Coloring is not just for kids anymore. Intricate adult coloring books are the latest lifestyle craze with millions of fans, booming sales and libraries jumping in to host workshops. They are often the first books seen while walking into bookstores and are topping the Amazon best-seller list each month — six adult coloring books are on the list for 2016. “Coloring connects people to their childself and it brings back some really great memories for people,” said Jennifer Lepke, a licensed creative art therapist. But it’s not just a national trend. The adult coloring craze has taken off in the Denver metro area over the past nine months: The books have been top sellers at the Michael’s on South Broadway in Highlands Ranch for the better part of the past year. Morin,
Coloring books targeted to adults are available at all major book stores and art supply stores. who lives in Parker, created a Facebook group, Coloring Book Addicts of Colorado, and a blog, coloringbookaddict.com, where she talks all things coloring. The Parker Library held a coffee and coloring event in November to address the craze. “I saw a trend with adults, in particular, and wanted to introduce coloring to adults who may not have known of its meditative benefits,” said Brittni Ehrhart, branch program liaison at the Parker Library. The event, held again in January, drew 34 men and women, with more people on a waiting list. Because of its popularity, Ehrhart said she will host a monthly coloring event at the library beginning in May. The Bemis Public Library in Littleton
also jumped in and started a monthly adult coloring event. But why are so many adults connecting with this childhood pastime? Morin turns to coloring to fuel her need to create without the mess of traditional crafting. But many adults are hoping to find zen between the lines of their coloring books. “It is a stress releaser,” said Lepke, who studied people’s moods before and after coloring. It “has therapeutic qualities because it can be meditative, repetitive in nature, and requires focus.” But Lepke, who is in the process of creating a coloring book with a group of creative art therapists, warned that some books can be too detailed and actually create pressure for some people. “But sometimes the detailed ones can create the flow experience — when you’re highly focused on something and the world fades away — and it becomes meditative,” she said. No matter why adults are coloring, Lepke said it’s great they are connecting with their creative side. “Art-making is often geared toward kids, and I always find that so odd that there isn’t more art happening that’s geared toward adults,” she said. “I think we all have a desire to be creative. We all have a desire to engage in some sort of creative outlet. And I think the coloring book is a simple and contained way to tap into that.”

Some of us had heartless playlist on Valentine’s Valentine’s Day is a made-up holiday. We can all agree on that, right? I’m not talking about St. Valentine’s Day, named in honor of a historical figure, but Valentine’s Day as we know it now — with the chocolates and roses and candles and all. For single people, it’s just a day to be reminded they’re single. And for some couples who put too much stock in all the hoopla, it can be worse because there’s no way to live up to all that hype. So if you’re still dealing with the fallout of a Valentine’s Day gone wrong, or never cared about it in the first place, here’s a short playlist based on grief experts David Kessler’s and Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’ famous five stages of grief.
Denial — “I’m Not Crying” by Flight of the Conchords “New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based, digi-bongo, acapellarap-funk-comedy folk duo,” (as they call themselves) are easily the funniest songwriters of this century. And they hilariously encapsulate the emotional vulnerability of the first stage of grief. Over some purposefully overwrought piano and strings, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie conjure up the most pitiable machismo by coming up with myriad excuses for why they’re crying: “I’ve just been cutting onions/I’m making a lasagna/For one” and “It’s just been raining on my face.” Denial is rarely this gut-bustingly funny, which makes it even more appreciated.
Anger — “Heartless” by Kanye West The thing about anger is it’s often misdirected and does more damage than good. It can also be extremely cathartic — and there are times after a relationship ends when catharsis is all Clarke Reader you need. LINER Kanye West certainly understands NOTES this and expresses the anger in this entirely one-sided song. He compares his ex to Dr. Evil, accuses her of spreading lies and wails lines like, “Somewhere far along this road/He lost his soul/To a woman so heartless.” The lyrics are totally unfair, dodge any personal culpability and are all about venting. Right or wrong, sometimes venting is necessary.
Bargaining — “Red House” by The Jimi Hendrix Experience The blues wildly inspired Jimi Hendrix, and his passion for the blues is obvious in what may be his most conventional blues number. The character in the song moves quickly from the excitement of finally coming home to shock that his key doesn’t work anymore. But the way the character bargains his way out of heartbreak comes down to the
CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Rihanna’s “Anti,” released on Roc Nation records. Review: Rihanna has been more of a singles artist for me, but she finally released her best and most cohesive album by eschewing singles all together. Her voice and world-weariness are both front and center, and this makes the album a total knockout. Favorite song: “Higher” Best encapsulation of Rihanna’s approach to music: “I wanna go back to the old way But I’m drunk instead, with a full ashtray With a little bit too much to say.”
bitter and biting last lines: “’Cause if my baby doesn’t love me no more/I know her sister will.” One of my favorite song endings, it generates the kind of laughs that stick in your throat. Depression — “Martha” by Tom Waits Waits has always been delightfully strange. But his debut album is full of the same kind of brokenhearted yearning that Frank Sinatra did so well. The purest distillation of Wait’s stirring approach to romantic melancholy
is this weeper of a song. Lyrics like “And those were the days of roses, of poetry and prose/And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me,” encapsulate the doldrums of regret and depression. The swelling strings are the perfect musical partner. Acceptance — “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” by Bob Dylan Any number of Dylan songs could have made this list: “Don’t Think Twice” came out on top because it’s his most direct and wry attempt at addressing moving on from a relationship. But even as Dylan is moving on, he can’t help but do so with a hefty dose of sarcasm and bitter humor. Lyrics like: Still I wish there was something you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talking anyway So don’t think twice, it’s all right will sound familiar to anyone moving on from a relationship. Often that’s the only thing to be done, and most of us can only hope to do it with as much wit as Dylan does. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week.

New book picks up tale where mother left off Mahmoody survived ordeal as child in war-torn Iran
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The new book opens in the middle of a child’s nightmare. She is running frantically, over uneven ground, from a threatening fox. She awoke and ran to climb in bed with her mother, where she was safe. That mother is Betty Mahmoody, who wrote a best-selling book 20 years ago, “Not Without My Daughter,” which was made into a popular movie, starring Sally Fields. The book was published in 70 languages and Betty traveled and spoke constantly — sometimes with Mahtob along, and sometimes leaving her at home with a relative or friend. There were interviews with Barbara Walters, Maria Shriver, Larry King and other media personalities, even as there was constant fear and watchfulness that the father
might find them. The book told Mahmoody’s true story. The American woman married an Iranian doctor in the U.S. and traveled with him to visit his family, supposedly for two weeks, when their daughter was 4 years old. She learned that her husband, who had become a militant Islamist, abusive and constantly angry, did not intend to return, nor would he allow his wife and daughter to travel home to America. (In Iran, a woman had no rights and had to submit to her husband’s wishes. A child was also his to control.) For many months, the mother underwent physical abuse, with no sympathy from his family and sometimes periods of separation from little Mahtob. The story of a hair-raising 500-mile escape through the mountains to Turkey comes early in “My Name is Mahtob,” a continuation of the story, published late in 2015 by the now-adult daughter, Mahtob Mahmoody. Now a grown woman with a degree in
psychology, a circle of supportive friends and a strong Christian faith, “Maht,” as friends call her, spent terrified years watching on every street, behind every tree, wherever she lived or studied, in fear that her father would kidnap her again as he threatened — in the same breath as he threatened to kill Betty. For a period of years, she went under a false name, attending protective Lutheran schools in Michigan while her internationally famous mother traveled, spoke about her experiences and about the book — and helped other parents whose children had been kidnapped. Sometimes, Mahtob traveled in Europe with Betty and grew close to her mother’s German publisher, who later encouraged her to write her own story. It was in Germany that she also found a doctor who treated her with an experimental drug for the lupus she had developed — and has had to keep at bay ever since. Eventually, she was able to part with a consuming bitterness toward her father (he

Painter shows work in Englewood shop Nixon’s Coffee House displays art by Lakewood resident
IF YOU GO Nixon’s Coffee House encourages artists to display small work in the welcoming spot across from the Englewood Civic Center at 871 Englewood Parkway. Hours are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. 303-504-5224.
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lakewood painter Jody Rigsby has an exhibit of small new pieces, in oil and watercolor, at Nixon’s Coffee House in Englewood through March. An artist reception is planned for 2 to 4 p.m. on March 4. Rigsby attended Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, earning a degree in graphic design, and now is a full-time fine artist, as her career builds momentum, she said. She has attended workshops with Kim English, Dan Beck, Nura Mascarenas, Michelle Torrez, Melinda Morrison and Mitch Caster, and her website displays small sculptures as well as the paintings. She is represented by Arts of Denver Gallery at 1025 S. Gaylord St., Denver. She writes about her work: “By channeling my unveiled innocence as a child, I treat each
painting as an individual endeavor towards a natural and expressive embodiment of the subject as if looking through young eyes.” Her oil paintings are highly textured and brightly colored. “The natural world inspires much of my work,” she continues, “as I live in and experience the human condition in relation to the whole-hearted images I choose to paint. My fascination lies within the relationship between color, texture and line in context to the subject.” She says that base layers in some paintings are made from print blocks she has designed and crafted herself. Look for evidence of that extra layer when you visit.

Color jumps out in show
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Invite a young friend to join you in a trip to the Depot Art Gallery this month. The exhibit, “Well RED,” will make for a good game of “find what’s red in the paintings and other artwork.” Meant as a Valentine’s Day connection, that title actually leads in many directions other than romantic. Think Converse high-tops, for instance, or a ribbon hatband — or a rusting old truck. Of course, there are flowers of all sorts, which one would expect, and birds: cardinal and red-wing blackbird … The old Temple Bar is painted bright red and invites one in for a pint. There are images of red rock formations, abstract designs, fall foliage, red roofs and several appealing stacks of antique books with red leather bindings. The jurist, Denver artist Camille Scott, who exhibits a handsome architectural drawing just inside the front door, named award winners: Judy Deist’s painterly photograph “Well Read Cowboy” was named Best in Show, and Todd

Reilly’s watercolor of Ireland’s “Temple Bar” took first place, while Brian Serff’s colorful marketplace painting “Spinning Nepal” won second place. Third place went to Nancy Wilkin’s large oil painting “Lake Dillon Storm,” and honorable mentions were given to S. Williams, Paul Nutting and David DeMarco. New member Julie Anderson exhibits a stack of bright red folders, labeled “Color it Yours.” Each contains a collection of fanciful blackand-white drawings to be colored by adults or children.

Arapahoe’s Delaney Smith is all smiles as she listens to teammates shouting at her that she was declared the winner of the 200-yard individual medley during the Class 5A girls state high school swimming championships on Feb. 13 in Fort Collins. Photos by Jim Benton
Heritage, Arapahoe win state titles Andrews takes 100 freestyle; Smith garners 200 IM crown By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage sophomore Kylie Andrews was relieved while Delaney Smith, a sophomore at Arapahoe, was surprised. Andrews won the 100-yard freestyle at the girls Colorado state swimming championships Feb. 13 at the Edora Pool Ice Center in Fort Collins while Smith was declared the winner in the 200 individual medley. “It feels really, really good to be a state champion,” said Andrews, who was timed in 50.91 in the finals after becoming the top qualifier during the preliminaries. “It was so fast and everybody was so good, it could have gone either way. I felt really relieved to win.” Smith said she was stunned to win. She finished second to Baily Kovac of Fossil Ridge, but she wound up on top of the victory podium when Kovac was disqualified for not touching the wall on a

Smith was clocked at 2:05.19. “I didn’t feel like I got it at first because I didn’t know at first,” admitted Smith. “It feels real cool. I didn’t expect that I was
going to win. I was going for certain times over winning, so I was very happy.” It took a minute before Smith realized she won. “I was doing a flip turn because I was really tired, so I stood back up,” said Smith. “Then my team was shouting my name so I turned and they said, ‘You got first.’ I looked up at the scoreboard and saw than lane five had a DQ and I was first.” Smith became the 14th individual state champion in Arapahoe history, and the Warriors also have four winning relay teams. Fairview captured the team championship with 288.50 points. Four south metro teams stacked up behind one another with Arapahoe fourth, Rock Canyon fifth, Chaparral sixth and Heritage seventh. Cherry Creek was 10th. Rock Canyon’s effort was led by senior Abigail Kochevar, who will swim next season at the University of Wisconsin. She was a double winner with victories in 50-yard freestyle and 100 backstroke. Kochevar, second last season, won the 50 freestyle with a time of 23.29 after quali-
fying with the third-fastest time during the preliminaries. She captured her third consecutive state 100 backstroke title with a winning time of 55.00. South metro schools had six swimmers among the top eight in the 100 backstroke. Besides Kochevar, Elsa Litteken of Douglas County/Castle View was third, Andrews fourth, Natalie Arky of Mountain Vista fifth, ThunderRidge’s Patricia Van Law sixth, and Makenna Mathieson of Rock Canyon eighth.

Seniors spark Creek’s romp over Overland Ninth-ranked Bruins girls notch 74-52 win
uted 11 points.
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek girls basketball coach Chris Curneen shuffled his starting lineup for the Bruins’ Feb. 12 Centennial League game against visiting Overland. Two of the three leading scorers for the Bruins, juniors Lauren McMillen and Laura Pranger, along with junior Allison Dwinnell, weren’t on the floor for the opening tip, but not because they were benched. It was Senior Night and Curneen had his four seniors in the starting lineup. Still, the Bruins got off to a quick start and rolled to a 74-52 victory to improve their record to 15-6 overall and 10-2 in the league. Cherry Creek is ninth in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll. “The girls played really well,” Curneen said. “The seniors especially stepped up and played really well.” Key moments Junior Sydney Mech, who did start the game, scored seven of her first 10 points as Creek jumped to a 17-4 lead with 1:43

Overland trimmed the Bruins’ 23-point lead to 14 points with 2:43 to play in the fourth quarter, but a layup by senior Hannah Young stalled any Blazers’ comeback hopes.
Key players/statistics Mech led the Bruins with 16 points. McMillen and senior Brittanee Bivins each had 13 points. Olivia McCann, Creek’s defensive stopper who came into the game averaging 2.7 points, contrib-
They said it McCann, the Bruins’ senior captain, said Creek is ready for the state playoffs. “We’re going to keep working on what we do best,” she said. “We’ve come a long ways since the beginning of the season. I can’t wait to see how we can do. We’re really going to work on playing our own game, keeping our own tempo and keep the defense up like we always do.” Curneen usually shuffles up to 10 players into the game, and depth is one of the Bruins strong points. “We’re adjusting things and we’re getting better,” he said. “I think we’re going to make a run at state tournament time. Depth has been important because we get in foul trouble a lot. We’ve got a little bit of fine-tuning to do with the offense, and then on defense we have to do a better job of keeping people in front of us. When we’ve lost this year, that’s why. We’ve had trouble keeping people in front of us.” Going forward Cherry Creek ends the regular Centennial League season Feb. 19 against Smoky Hill.

Caddies pick up scholarships to University of Colorado
Sydney Bates, Tara O’Gorman and Reilly Richards were three of the 11 Colorado caddies awarded full tuition and housing Evans scholarships to the University of Colorado. Prerequisites to be considered for a Chick Evans scholarship include excellent academics, financial need, strong caddie record and solid leadership. Bates is an Arapahoe High School senior and a caddie at Columbine Country Club. Her younger sister was diagnosed with leukemia and her family filed for bankruptcy because of increasing medical bills and her father’s failed business. He is employed in a minimum wage job. The scholarship is valued at more than $80,000 over four years. “It was an absolute honor to have won an Evans scholarship,” said Bates. “I worked so hard for two years. It was a sense of relief and honor I have from winning this scholarship. It allows me to go to college and follow my dreams.” Bates’ mother worked at Arapahoe when Sydney stumbled across an application to caddie. She gave it a try, admitting she was not athletic. “I never thought this would be a job for
me,” said Bates who wants to become a pediatric oncologist because of her sister. “I always thought I’d be a drive-through person at Chick-fil-A, but I like this Chick better.” O’Gorman, a Mountain Vista senior and caddie at Jim Benton Cherry Hills CounOVERTIME try Club, became a caddie so she could qualify for the Evans scholarship since her mother is a single mom with a son in college. “I started working as a caddie for a scholarship,” she said. “I’ve never golfed in my life. My mom is a single mother paying for my brother’s college already. It was security so my mom wouldn’t have to work three jobs to put two kids through school.” Richards attends Arvada West, is a caddie at Lakewood Country Club and played golf for the Wildcats. “The Evans scholarship meant the

world to me because I’m not sure college would have been an option without it,” he said. “It has changed my life for the better and for the future. Now I see a future for me.” Evans was a top amateur golfer who won the U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur in 1916. No waiting around for DiDonna Katie DiDonna dislikes waiting. At least that’s the way she plays on the basketball court. DiDonna, a 5-foot-7 Rock Canyon senior who was an all-league softball shortstop last fall, leads the Continental League and all Class 5A players in rebounding with an average of 12.6 per game. “Katie is an outstanding rebounder,” said Jaguars coach Becky Mudd. “Her rebounding skills are a result of her tena-
ciousness and fearlessness on the court. Unlike other girls, she doesn’t wait for the ball to come to her. She goes up anywhere around her and attacks the ball and brings it in. “Katie has really embraced her role as a tough rebounder, quick defender and a player who only knows how to play one way: hard.” Top 5A wrestling seeds Seven area wrestlers have been topseeded in the Class 5A brackets in the state high school wrestling tournament, which will be held Feb. 18-20 at the Pepsi Center in Denver. The top seeds are Castle View’s Malik Heinselman (106 pounds), Tomas Guiterrez of Pomona (120), Legacy’s Ryan Benton continues on Page 20

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF FEB. 15, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) St. Valentine’s Day magic rules the entire week for romantic Rams and Ewes. Music, which is the food of love, is also strong. The weekend offers news both unexpected and anticipated. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your aspects favor the arts -- which the Divine Bovine loves, loves, loves. Also, for those looking for romantic love, Cupid is available for requests. After all, his mother, Venus, rules your sign. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Loving commitments continue to grow stronger. Ditto budding relationships. A recent move to help start up a new career-linked direction soon could begin to show signs of progress. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Single Moon Children might be eager to take that proverbial chance on love. But your more serious side will feel better if you take things slowly and give your moonstruck self more time. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a love fest for Leos and Leonas this week. Paired Cats might expect to be purr-fectly in sync. And with matchmaking friends, single Simbas searching for romance shouldn’t have too far to look. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) More understanding on both sides can work miracles in restoring ailing relationships to health. Make the first move, and you’ll be closer to your much-wanted reunion.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Accept the fact that you are worthy of being loved, and you’ll find proof in what is revealed to you over the course of the week. Also accept a compliment offered with great sincerity. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Planning to take a new direction in life is exciting. And so is a new awareness of someone’s special affection. Expect a slow and mostly steady development of the situation. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Although you might still feel you weren’t treated quite right in a recent matter, all that will work out in time. Meanwhile, enjoy the week’s special qualities and potentials.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Deciding not to give up on a troubling romantic situation helps start the healing process. Expect to find some valuable insight into yourself as things move along. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) The week is filled with positive potentials, but it’s up to you to make the right choices. The advice of someone who truly cares for you and your well-being can be priceless. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It’s a good time to make yourself available to possibilities of the romantic kind. Already paired? Good. In that case, be sure to reassure that special person of your feelings. BORN THIS WEEK: Your generosity gladdens the hearts of others, and you bask in their joy.
