Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office bans open burning STAFF REPORT

With dry conditions persisting this winter, the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office has issued a ban on open fires and open burning in Centennial, Cherry Creek State Park and unincorporated portions of the county. The ban, issued Feb. 20, will be in effect until rescinded by the sheriff. The Englewood fire marshal issued a similar ban the same day for the city. Sheriff David Walcher “determined that the existing conditions in the county present an extreme danger for the possibility of wildfire and large wildland fires,” a news release says. Prohibited activities include: • Use of any fireworks • Campfires • Fires in constructed, permanent fire pits or fire grates within developed camp and picnic grounds or recreation sites • Warming fires • Fires in outdoor wood-burning stoves • The prescribed burning

of fence lines, fence rows, fields, farmlands, rangelands, wildlands, trash or debris. Violation of the burning ban could result in fines of $500 for the first offense, $750 for a second offense and $1,000 for a third and subsequent offenses. Activities that are exempt from the ban include: • Fires contained within liquid fueled or gas stoves, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves/ fireplaces within habitable buildings. • Propane/LP/natural gas fueled barbecue grills used for cooking or warming food, which do not produce or emit sparks or embers when used. • Charcoal-fueled grills and pits used for cooking or warming food, which do not produce or emit sparks or embers when used. • Propane/LP/natural gas fueled fire pits that do not produce or emit sparks or embers when used. • Fire set by any federal, state, or local officer, or member of a fire protection district in the performance of an official duty.

BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colorado’s beetle-infested forests are peppered with an estimated 834 million standing dead trees that threaten to worsen wildfires and degrade vital water supplies that flow from mountains, officials said Feb. 15. Roughly one in every 14 standing trees in the state’s forests is dead, with the total up 30 percent in seven years, the State Forest Service said in its annual report on forest health. “Is it something to be alarmed about? Of course it is,” State Forester Mike Lester said. “When they have this condition, you should be paying attention to it.” Infestations of mountain pine beetles and spruce beetles are the main cause of the die-off, Lester said. Beetles are native to the state but have caused far more damage than normal over the past 20 years, attacking more than 7,900 square miles of forest, or more than 20 percent of total forested land. Lester and others blame the beetle outbreak on a combination of warmer weather that allows beetles to survive the winter and trees left more vulnerable because of age and stress from severe droughts in the past. Although the pine beetle epidemic has subsided, spruce beetles are still spreading. The course of that outbreak will determine whether the tree die-off worsens or levels off, Lester said. “I really couldn’t predict,” he said. “We’re not sure where the spruce

beetle is going to go right now.” A combination of standing and fallen trees killed by beetles can make wildfires burn longer and in some cases hotter, the report said, making them harder and more expensive to control and putting firefighters in more danger. A fire last year among dead trees in northwestern Colorado and southern Wyoming that burned for about four months on nearly 60 square miles could foreshadow what firefighters will face in the future, the report said. Wildfires, in turn, threaten to worsen erosion by killing trees that help keep soil in place on hillsides, the report said. Erosion can load rain and melting snow with silt, change the timing of that spring runoff and reduce the capacity of reservoirs when the sediment settles to the bottom, the report said. Those effects can disrupt water supplies for cities and agriculture in Colorado and beyond. An extensive system of reservoirs, canals and pipelines depends on a massive inflow of water every spring from melting snow. The Colorado Water Conservation Board estimates that 80 percent of the state’s population relies on runoff from forested watersheds, and 19 states and Mexico get water from Colorado’s mountain snows. Among other steps, the state is working with federal and local governments and with private landowners to thin out forests that are too dense and fire-prone and to replant hillsides stripped bare by fires.

Campaign collects suits for soldiers STAFF REPORT

Members of the military who are trying to transition into the civilian workforce received free suits and business attire at an event in Lone Tree last week. The clothing was collected by the Farmers Insurance Suits for Soldiers national campaign and was distributed Feb. 16 and 17 at Public Service Credit Union on Park Meadows Drive. The credit union also hosted workshops on resume writing and interviewing. Thomas Swenson, a local Farmers Insurance agent, sponsored the campaign by accepting clothing donations at his office, according to a news release. “We all have a chance to contribute and have a real impact on someone else’s life,” he said. More than 500 suits and pieces of business attire were expected to be distributed in Lone Tree. The campaign has resulted in the nationwide collection of more than 70,000 articles of clothing, the release stated. Veterans can visit www.farmers.

Night to Shine a crowning achievement Centennial prom event draws people with developmental disabilities BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Young men and women stepped out of limousines, walked the red carpet, ate a catered dinner and danced the night away at the Night to Shine prom at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Centennial. “This is my first prom,” said Nora Jacobs, one of the event attendees. “When I dance, I like to swirl and turn.” Night to Shine, a prom for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is put on by Bethesda Lutheran Communities and hosted at Shepherd of the Hills. The event was sponsored by the Florida-based Tim Tebow Foundation, established by former Denver Bronco Tim Tebow and which works promotes special events for people in need. The Feb. 10 event featured 456 volunteers and served 150 individuals. Prom attendees, all 14 and older, came from throughout the Denver metro area. Beginning at 5 p.m., makeup artists, shoe shiners and hair stylists were available to pamper promgoers. As they made their way to the banquet room, they walked the red carpet, where they were cheered on by volunteers and smiled for the friendly paparazzi photographers. In the back corner of the room, a caricature artist made cartoon memories for participants to take home. In another corner, flashing lights from a photo booth captured smiling faces throughout the night. Just outside the doors, limousines took promgoers on rides around the block. After dinner, the music started and the dancing began. “I like to boogie, but I really like to break dance,” Braden Cook said. Everyone got crowned either king or queen. And volunteers worked throughout the night to ensure an amazing prom for everyone.

Robert Harvey and Tammy brought style and class to the red carpet at the Night to Shine prom at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church on Feb. 10.

PHOTOS BY STEPHANIE MASON “It is a great way to give back to the community,” said volunteer Ashley Larson, a freshman at Lutheran High School in Parker. “My grandma works with people who have special needs. I really love them.” The event was one of three in Colorado and one of 350 around the world on the same night, said Chad Wietrick, the West Central regional director of Bethesda Lutheran Communities. Bethesda Lutheran is a Christian organization based in Watertown, Wisconsin, that helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities connect with their communities.

The community helped support the event: Chick-fil-A donated $2,000 worth of food for volunteers and community members gave hundreds of dresses. Photographers, makeup artists, limousine drivers, the DJ and caterers all greatly discounted their services. The event’s $14,000 pricetag was covered by the Tim Tebow Foundation and private backers. “We look at this as an opportunity to give to people with disabilities who never experienced the prom,” Wietrick said. “Everyone gets crowned as king and queen. It shows that everybody is loved.”

Proud to be a new American

52 immigrants gain U.S. citizenship at Denver naturalization ceremony

WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? A naturalization ceremony took place Feb. 14 at the History Colorado Center in downtown Denver during which 52 people took the Oath of Allegiance to the United States and received a Certificate of Naturalization.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dennis Reijnders’ American-born wife Anna was about six months away from gaining Dutch citizenship when his job with a cell phone company was transferred to a different city in the Netherlands. But the couple, who met when Anna was going to college in Britain, didn’t want to live in Amsterdam. They decided to move to the U.S. “He was always fascinated with America,” Anna Reijnders said. So they stored their belongings and moved into Anna’s parents’ basement. Upon arrival, they set a one-year goal to get new jobs, cars and a home to call their own. The couple, who now live in Thornton, met these initial goals then moved on to something even bigger. Dennis and 51 other people from 29 countries became U.S. citizens in a Feb. 14 ceremony in downtown Denver attended by family and friends. The ceremony, which took place at the History Colorado Center, was the first of many to occur across the U.S. during the week leading up to Presi-

Husband and wife Dennis and Anna Reijnders embrace after a ceremony on Feb. 14 during which Dennis received his U.S. citizenship. The two married 12 years ago, beginning their lives together in the Netherlands where Dennis is from. Anna, an American, was about six months away from getting Dutch citizenship when a transfer with Dennis’ job prompted them to want to move to the U.S. PHOTOS BY CHRISTY STEADMAN dent’s Day, in which 25,000 people were slated to earn U.S. citizenship. “It takes commitment and hard work,” said Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet in a letter read by his senior advisor Rosemary Rodriguez at the ceremony. But not only did these people choose to become U.S. citizens, said JJ Rutherford, director of education at the History Colorado, they chose to be

residents of Colorado. “Being a citizen is a privilege,” new citizen Luis Lopez of Aurora said. “You get better opportunities. That’s why they call America the land of opportunity.” Lopez grew up in a border town in Mexico. All his life he knew he would like the U.S., he said. “This is SEE AMERICAN, P7

something I’ve always wanted.” So had Abdel Perez Moreno of Colorado Springs. Born in Panama, Moreno, 38, has been in the country since 1993. He went to high school in Colorado Springs, and although he attended some college for a career in auto mechanics, citizenship will help open doors for better jobs, he said. “I’m very proud of him,” said mother Eneida Davis. “He is a good son, and he deserves this.” Yolanda Burton, a dentist in her

home country of Colombia, came to the U.S. eight years ago when she married her American-born husband Mark. Having citizenship is important, Burton said, because it gives a person the right to vote. But for her personally, Burton wanted her 14-year-old son to have all the opportunities American children have. He can also gain U.S. citizenship since his mother is now naturalized, she said. Burton, a Denver resident, encourages everybody who is eligible to earn citizenship to do so. “It’s not a hard process,” she said, “just time-consuming.” That process includes demonstrat-

ing good moral character, becoming competent with the English language and passing a U.S. civics and government test of 10 questions chosen from 100 possible ones studied. Norma and Youssef Ibrahim of Aurora left their careers as doctors in Egypt to come to the U.S. so they could

provide a better life and good education for their three children. Nearly six years later, the two are excited to settle in as new U.S. citizens. “You can see it on our faces,” said Youssef Ibrahim, as he and wife smiled. “There’s no comparison to the U.S.”

PROCESS OF BECOMING A U.S. CITIZEN Determine eligibility — A person must meet certain requirements to become a U.S. citizen. These requirements include, but are not limited to, duration of time residing in the U.S. as a permanent resident, aka green card; ability to read, write and speak basic English; and knowing the fundamentals of U.S. history and understanding of the structure and principles of the U.S. government. Apply for naturalization — Collect all required documentation needed to prepare and submit Form N-400, which is the application for naturalization. Biometrics and interview — Most people will need to have his or her biometrics taken. This includes a criminal background check conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Applicants will also do an interview with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This is when the

applicant takes the English language and government and civics tests. Wait for decision — Applicants will receive written notice of decision from the USCIS. The agency will approve, continue if additional information is needed, or deny the person’s naturalization application. Take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States — All persons approved to become a citizen must attend a naturalization ceremony, during which the Oath of Allegiance will be administered and new citizens will receive Certificates of Naturalization. Most ceremonies will have people available to assist with voter registration and all new citizens are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the rights and responsibilities of being an American citizen. To learn more about the naturalization process, visit www.uscis.gov.

Tri-County Health Department offering coupons for radon testing BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Kari Crist recently had her basement checked for radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas. Crist, of Highlands Ranch, was spending more than 15 hours, seven days a week in an art studio in her basement. Her husband’s office is also located in that part of the home. The level of radon in Crist’s basement was three times the limit. The Environ-

mental Protection Agency recommends fixing homes that have levels at or above 4pCi/L. “Not something to mess with,” Crist wrote on a Facebook page called Word of Mouth Highlands Ranch. “And if you’ve already had it checked, check it again. It can turn up later.” To encourage homeowners to test their homes for radon, Tri-County Health Department — which serves more than 1.4 million people in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — is

Spotlight On Business

INTERVIEW WITH RENOVATION CONSULTANT, MARK HORVATH

Herald: What is Your Background?

Mark: 40+ years in the home remodel and construction industry starting at a young age maintaining two homes with a construction company and farm in the family. An MBA in Accounting and a BS in Business Administration/Economics. Also, certiﬁcations in Green Building, QuickBooks, and BQA to help with mini farm or ranch. Twenty years in Colorado working as a Project Manager, Superintendent, and Licensed Contractor in residential and commercial construction. My wife and I recently completed a roof down, home remodel allowing us to sell at one of the highest per square foot of $242.38 in the 80123-zip code.

The TV show aspect can be limited and misleading. In one show an Aurora home was evaluated for $13,000 dollars of immediate work. I calculated around $25,000. Enlisting my services can provide value in understanding items like our conditions, building codes, or even our insurance climate versus someone from out of state that would not readily know. Hopefully we can recognize that the internet and home shows can provide a limited education on remodeling and regional trends but, not wisdom or experience. For example, what happens with a toilet leak in the guest bathroom 10 pm Friday night with family arriving Saturday morning? You pull the toilet to reseal and ﬁnd the sewer pipe is cracked and surrounded by concrete. What do you do?

Herald: What Services do you provide:

Herald: How does a person value your service?

Mark: To be your consumer advocate as a “Renovation Consultant.” To help guide and educate you through the construction process and what to expect with your project. Perform site evaluation providing a written plan to help guide and direct you in achieving your goals and vision for your home whether purchasing, selling, or your forever home on speciﬁc projects or full management services.

Mark: One of the best examples of value would be helping you plan and manage a 1-2 month kitchen remodel from becoming a 6+ month project. With the national average kitchen remodel around $36,000, the investment in my service can save you thousands of dollars, time, and/or frustration.

Herald: What would your clients look like?

Mark: For a full house remodel evaluation it is a flat rate dependent upon the size and value of your home. Scope of work can be customized to reflect your project and vision. Also, an hourly basis if your projects are minimal. If you desire more help, I can create a scope of work that fits your needs.

Mark: I welcome a client who asks questions. 1st time home buyer, Do-it-Yourselfers, new or forever home, and if you desire a ranchette or mini farm. As an example, help the homeowner understand why one home may be a better choice over another. Or, why increasing the investment in an area(s) would be better in the long run versus a select ﬁnish or add-on. Herald: What is the difference between you and the home shows? Mark: This is a great question. Please recognize TV shows are staged and can be ½ reality and ½ construction. Also, to create drama often there are “foundation” issues that pop up in the middle of the remodel. Something you would have inspected before buying?

providing coupons for free radon test kits. “Although there is no safe level of radon, a simple, inexpensive test will tell you if the home you live in or are intending to buy needs to be fixed,” a media release from Tri-County Health Department says. “It is easy to test your home and radon levels can be reduced with a radon reduction system.” Radon, a radioactive gas that forms naturally when radioactive metals break down in rocks, soil and groundwater, is the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People can be exposed to radon primarily from breathing radon in air that comes through cracks and gaps in buildings and homes, the CDC says. According to the Tri-County Health Department, in Colorado approximately 500 people die annually from radoninduced lung cancer. In Douglas County, 39.6 percent of household radon tests were above the

recommended EPA action limit, as in Crist’s situation. In Adams County that rate was 24.2 percent and 44.4 percent in Arapahoe County. Steven Chevalier, environmental health manager at Tri-County Health Department, recently bought a new home that had an average level of radon of 6.4 pCi/L. According to Tri-County Health Department, that number is comparable to having more than 200 chest X-rays every year. “Investing in a radon mitigation system for $850 is a small price to pay for the health of our family,” Chevalier said in the media release. “The average price of a radon mitigation system in Colorado is $1,200.” According to the EPA, the primary method used to reduce radon in a home is a vent pipe system and fan, which pulls radon from beneath the house and vents it to the outside. The system does not require major changes to a home, the EPA says, and is more efficient if foundation cracks and other openings are sealed.

VOICES

On menu of personal characteristics, choose items that are truly healthy WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

o the other day as I was standing in line waiting to order my lunch, I found myself staring at the menu and trying to decide what I was really in the mood for that day. Even though I had eaten at the same place hundreds of times in my life and I knew the menu like the back of my hand, I still reviewed my choices like it was the first time I had ever been there. After much deliberation, I eventually ordered the same thing I order almost 90 percent of the time. There were dozens of choices, but yet I ordered what was some-

how programmed in my head already. As I thought about this over lunch, I thought about the menu of life and how I can choose what I would like to see in myself or believe about myself. And I was reminded of a quote that I had heard somewhere along the way, “You are what you believe yourself to be.” And so as I ran through my mental menu I thought about some of the ways I choose to see myself, and maybe how others might see me. The items on my menu that I could choose from included loving, caring, forgiving, compassionate, energized, consis-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR We need better roads and education In last week’s article “Democrats want permanent funding for transportation,” state Rep. Cole Wist, R-Centennial, criticized Colorado’s Democratic House leadership for wanting to create a permanent funding source to improve the state’s congested road network that doesn’t take funding away from public education. According to Rep. Wist, “Speaker Duran’s call for more taxpayer revenue without any offsetting tax reductions . . . show she and the Democrats have given up on a fiscally responsible solution to transportation funding.”

Wist’s insistence that the Legislature find an offset for any increase in tax revenue is not responsible budgeting. It is “robbing Peter to pay Paul,” and it doesn’t speak well of Rep. Wist or of other Republican representatives, who seem determined to force Colorado residents to choose between having better maintained roads or having a higher quality public education for our children. Colorado’s roadway infrastructure is literally crumbling around us. In its 2013 Infrastructure Report Card, SEE LETTERS, P31

tent, winner, champion, thoughtful, father, friend, smart, generous and happy. The good news is that I didn’t have to make a single choice, I could actually have everything on the menu, or at least strive to be everything on the menu. Now maybe my list or menu sounds a like a bit of an ego trip, and maybe I am not always all of those things each and every day. I mean we all have our off days and moments, don’t we? But just like going to the same restaurant over and over SEE NORTON, P11

Just a thought: Let’s not hear it for all the heartfelt opinions

he food was just delicious, and we loved the way ‘Katy’ introduced herself. She said, ‘They named me after Katy, Texas, not Katy Perry.’ The décor made us feel right at home. My steak was cooked to perfection. Five stars, for sure.” “One of the worst meals I’ve ever had. And why do they insist upon introducing themselves? It should be against the law. The décor looked like the 1970s rental furniture I had when I was in college. My steak tasted like it was made by Goodyear. One star.” Two diners on the same day ordered the same thing from the same waitress at the same restaurant. Some of us learn about opinions at an early age. There should be a class in art school devoted to it, so that later on you know how to take the good with the bad. Many of us enjoyed the back and forth between Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, film critics who could disagree about the same film, just like Katy’s diners. Up until blockbuster orgies of special effects and gratuitous violence became the film industry’s standards (with a few exceptions), I thought I might want to be a film critic. Not now. I have been asked to be an art critic. No thank you. You can’t win. Art and film and music are all vulnerable to ignorance. You’ve heard “I

know what I like.” The truth is, for most of us, “We like what we know.” As Bob (Bill Murray) says in “What About Bob,” “There are two types of people in this world. Those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don’t.” I would rather eat Craig Marshall my sleeves than lisSmith ten to Neil Diamond. Approval is important, whether you are an artist or an employee. Simply being acknowledged now and then is meaningful. Many of us go unnoticed most of the time. Garbage men. The renters next door left in a huff because the owner decided to sell, and gave them 30 days to get out. They chose to leave a souvenir of their displeasure. I guess they thought it was in the face of the owner, but it was in the face of the neighborhood, because we had to look at it for a week. They left what looked like everything they owned in the driveway, and it wasn’t pretty. On the following Friday morning, the garbage truck drove up, and a thin young man got out, put his hands on his hips, and shook his head.

Washington affects economic growth, with changes coming thick and fast

he new administration is well underway and there are changes in policy almost daily. Congress is facing a packed legislative calendar during the first 100 days. It may be hard for the average person to keep up. Let’s review what we know so far and how it might affect the economy and investments. The first pledge was to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Republicans have promised swift action on this priority although they have not formulated a specific plan as of this writing. They are working on the details of a replacement plan that would allow individuals to keep coverage during the implementation of the new reforms. Once a strategy is approved, it could still take several years to eliminate the current version of the ACA. The next top priority is regulatory reform. There have already been announcements about regulations ranging from FDA approval, corporate acquisitions, building codes, banking and even the Department of Labor client services rule that have been targeted. The theory is that less regulation will allow for higher growth. The question is, will there be a negative outcome for the consumer? Most of these regulations were designed for consumer protection, whether it be keeping corporations from becoming so large there is no price competition or protecting investors’ wealth through rules created out of the 2008 financial crisis. Many financial analysts agree that while deregulation can spur growth in the short term, it could add inflation and reduce consumer protection in the long run. Tax reform was a major campaign promise that now has settled on the back burner. This is upsetting many major corporate CEOs who were welcomed to the White House in the first weeks only to find that tax cuts have been pushed into late 2017 at the earliest. At first glance, the Republican outline shows the current seven tax brackets being consolidated into three and some deductions going away. There is also talk of repealing the current estate tax but adding some capital gains for assets over a certain size. Again, this could spur some short-term growth but the question remains if this is sustainable given our deficit.

It didn’t go unnoticed. “Joseph” came out of his house to help. Another neighbor brought him a tip. If you own a restaurant or direct a film or perform in a play, you are up for grabs, and because of the internet, opinions can be tossed around anonymously. I noted the death of Mary Tyler Moore. There was an outpouring of favorable comments about her televi-

FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

Stricter immigration policy could slow growth and increase inflation as we have fewer workers willing to work menial jobs for low pay. This along with a push for more infrastructure spending could stretch the employment picture, forcing Patricia Kummer wages and benefits higher to attract more American workers to these jobs. This in turn could fuel higher costs of goods and services as businesses ranging from retail to construction have higher overhead. Trade agreements among a myriad of other agenda items remain uncertain. Historically both fiscal stimulus (tax cuts) and protectionist policies have tended to boost inflation. Stimulus in the form of infrastructure spending typically provided the greatest benefit at the beginning of an economic cycle when unemployment is high and the economy has significant upside potential. The fact this is coming late in the cycle, when unemployment is low and we have been in recovery for eight years, is adding uncertainty that the outcome will be positive for America. In summary, some of the new policies should spur economic growth but likely at the price of inflation, including taxing imports. Corporate earnings appear positive for the time being, but higher labor costs can put a damper on the length of the upward trend. Fewer regulations could lighten the cost structure of some industries, but not without additional risks to the consumer. Stay tuned … we are only a month into the new administration.

In “Ordinary People” Moore was brilliant in a role of a lifetime. It might have been unacceptable to many of Mary Richards’ fans. But it’s how I prefer to remember her. Five stars.

again, and becoming extremely familiar with the menu, these are the things I want to consistently think about and become familiar with for myself. Just think about the alternative for a minute. What if our mental menu consisted of dozens of options that didn’t appeal to us and yet we go back to the same place over and over again never much caring for anything we choose? Instead of a list of really appetizing items, we see things like negativity, pessimism, anger, envy, enemy, hate, revenge and sadness. Here’s the thing, just like in a restaurant we get to make the choices. And maybe we choose the same thing 90 percent of the time and that’s OK, especially if it is something that is really good. And just imagine if we went about this same selection process throughout

our day? What if we saw that very same menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert? If we did, and if we were choosing from the menu of the good instead of the bad, we would be nourishing our own bodies and probably also nourishing anyone else who we happen to be around each day. How about you? Do you go to the same restaurant frequently? Do you usually order the same thing 90 percent of the time? Well I would love to hear all about the items on your own personal menu and the choices you choose to make about how you see yourself at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we frequent our favorite places and order up a healthy serving of goodness for ourselves, it really will be a better than good week for everyone.

lot of ingredients are required to distill good, quality spirits. But one requirement is at the root of them all — passion. “I went to Kentucky and Tennessee to learn from the distillers there,” said Mitch Abate, distiller at Downslope Distilling in Centennial. “It’s really cool to see people’s reactions when they try our drinks for the first time and have their preconceived notions changed.” A distiller’s passion can be tasted in the dedication to the craft, quality of the spirits and how well the product is received. “I’ve been distilling for 26 years,” said Stephen Gould, owner and distiller at Golden Moon Distillery and Speakeasy. “To make our drinks, we bring in ingredients from all over the world, and the finished product goes out to countries like the United Kingdom, Italy and Denmark.” Distilling is the process that purifies alcohol by heating it into vapor, which is then condensed through cooling. The independent brewery scene in Colorado has been steadily growing for decades, and that same approach is now following suit in the world of distilling. According to the Colorado Distillers Guild, the state is home to more than 50 distillers making everything from whiskey and gin to kümmel and aquavit. In this growing

industry, there’s all kinds of room for experimentation and variety. “We’re Colorado’s only producer of aquavit, which is a Scandinavian spirit,” said Ryan White, owner of Devil’s Head Distillery in Englewood. “We also do vodka and gin, but we wanted to make something that would differentiate us from everyone else.” Local distillers’ commitment to quality, often locally-grown ingredients, is one reason more people are becoming interested in the industry, White said. “There’s a greater interest from the public in locally-sourced goods,” he said. “There’s been a renewed focus on supporting local businesses, which has also been beneficial.”

Although people have grown more familiar over time with the process for making beer and wine, the steps and nuances of distilling are still unfamiliar to many, which lends the process an appealing bit of mystery. But one of the goals of distilleries is to educate people, so tours are often offerred to show how the drinks are made. Downslope Distilling takes education a step further and offers a distilling class once a month. Abate said he’s had students from all over the world learn about spirits and some of the ways they’re made. “More and more people are coming in these days with at least some SEE DISTILLING, P13

In Colorado, it is legal to brew up to 100 gallons of beer and wine for personal use, but it is illegal to distill spirits without a federal permit or taxes. There is no Colorado statute explicitly prohibiting stills, but it is illegal to use a still to make spirits for consumption or resale without a license. The state does offer a distillery pub license to make spirits legally.

Comedy brings warmth to Alaskan wilderness ‘Brilliant Traces’ makes return visit to Vintage

One enters the smaller theater at Vintage past the dark, snowy porch of a woodsy cabin, to find a cozy, rustic interior where a silent man sits, contemplating — probably how it usually looks in this isolated place. Wind howls in the wilds of Alaska. The Vintage Theatre stage goes dark at curtain time and when lights come up, a lump huddles under the blankets on the bed. Soon, there is a pounding at the door and when he answers, a bedraggled young woman in wedding finery stumbles in. “I’ve been driving for three days,” she says. (Playwright Cindy Lou Johnson immediately has our attention.) The woman has a stout shot from the bottle of Jameson’s on the table, kicks off her shoes and passes out.

knowledge of how the process works,” he said. “This field is really booming, and groups like the Colorado Distillers Guild are helping get the word out.” Most distilleries have tasting rooms, so visitors can sample the finished product. Golden Moon opened its speakeasy three years ago to provide customers a classic cocktail bar vibe to try the distillery’s many offerings. Bars like the Schoolhouse Kitchen and Libations in Olde Town Arvada use locally made whiskey to enhance their collection of more than 1,100 whiskeys. “Colorado’s whiskey scene is exploding right now,” said Lane Abshire, Schoolhouse’s resident

whiskey nerd. “We have a lot of demand for local stuff. All the time people come in looking for Colorado whiskey.” Many of these creations are being recognized in and out of Colorado. Last year, Golden Moon’s single malt whiskey won a double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Devil’s Head’s aquavit was recognized at the Denver International Spirits Competition, and Downslope’s Ould Tom Gin received the silver at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Unfamiliarity about spirits and a fear of asking questions may have kept people from trying spirits, but Gould wants to change that. “What I do is not about excluding people, but making things people enjoy,” he said. “We want to welcome everyone here to learn what they like.”

choice and she has run away from her own wedding, stopping only for gas and a candy bar every five hours. What’s the backstory here? “Brilliant Traces” by Cindy Lou Johnson played in New York in 1989. This is a second run for Vintage Theatre, after a 2008 production. “I so longed to hear the beautiful words of Cindy Lou Johnson again,” said director Craig Bond in his notes. The language is indeed often poetic as the runaway bride talks about her feeling of “hovering” above it all. And at times, she verges on hysterical. It’s called a comedy and certainly has its humorous spots — the mix. It produces an engaging, light evening of theater. Sit back. Let them tell you a story.

at the Epcot Center. Granted an audition, he had a contract the next day, and danced with them for the next 30 months. Then, he started thinking about forming his own company and hired composers to create an orchestral background, which differs from accompaniment used by other Irish dance groups. He bulked up his sixfoot-four-inch frame and was ready to play the heavy in the storyline he developed. He worked on the storyline for 10 years. Composers worked for two years on the music, sending it back and forth. “The orchestral background enhances the effect of the dance,” he said. He describes the process that went on in his head as “Star Wars” meets “Lord of the Rings.” Boros plays the villain and a dancer named Sergei plays the good guy, he says, while Amanda is the bad girl and Alexandria is the good girl. The storyline carries the production as the company, Two Step Productions, heads out on national travels with a tale of a fallen hero and his rise to redemption. Now 35, Boros is excited to bring this show to his home in Colorado.

They have been rehearsing in Colorado Springs recently, with dancers who hail from Mexico, New Zealand, Russia and the U.S. Boros held auditions at a big Irish dance event in Orlando, he said. “By the end of April, we will have performed in 30 shows.” Then, he’ll prepare to launch “Carol of the King: The Irish Dance Christmas Spectacular” in the fall. And next spring, 2018, it will be tour time again for “Rhythm of the Night.” Boros was a muscular, tall basketball player at his Castle Rock high school — and then came the night he caught a glimpse of Michael Flatley’s “Lord of the Dance” on TV, which changed his life. He bought some appropriate shoes and Colin Dunne’s instructional video, “Celtic Feet,” and practiced on a fourby-eight-foot piece of wood in his basement — every night for 18 months.

Exhibit explains history of DAM’s North Building SONYA’S SAMPLER

The model of the Denver Art Museum’s North Building by Gio Ponti and James Sudler Associates is dated 1966, and the renowned modernist building, opened after construction in 1971, will be “revitalized,” according to museum releases — to provide a superior Sonya Ellingboe visitor experience for ever-growing numbers of visitors (including hundreds of schoolchildren who visit free). It will be closed until the work is finished.

Billy Bostwick looks to pass the puck across the ice to a Cherry Creek teammate as Mountain Vista defender Alex Solzman comes in to try to intercept the puck and clear it out of the Golden Eagles zone.

ason Richardson, the former Michigan State standout who played 14 seasons in the National Basketball Association, knows what it feels like to be in OVERTIME a pressure-packed basketball game. However, he admits that stress as a player is nothing like the tension he feels when watching his daughter Jaela play high school basketball for Cherry Creek. Jim Benton “There’s so much pressure watching her play,” said Richardson who has made his home in the Denver area for the past two years. “No matter what your child does, you want your child to succeed. When she makes a turnover or misses a shot it’s like, `Oh man, come on.’ There’s definitely more pressure watching her. “It’s definitely a lot of fun just watching where she came from to the player she is now. It’s fun seeing her out there being a young adult.” Jaela Richardson played last season at Heritage High in Saginaw, Michigan, but a knee injury ended her season in February. She chose to join her father in Colorado and enrolled at Cherry Creek. “I get a lot of advice from my Dad,” she said. “After every game, we watch film and go over not only what I’m doing, but what my teammates are doing. And what I can do better and we can do better as a team. I tell him, Dad if I did something, let me know. If the team did something, let me know, so we can make the team better.” Jaela, a 6-foot junior who missed several games early this season while completing rehab from need surgery, is averaging 9.4 points and 8.1 rebounds a game for a Bruins team loaded with tall players. “I’m trying to work more on becoming more of a guard,” she said. “There are plenty of opportunities with our offense that allow me to be on the perimeter, and I have to take advantage of it.” Jason Richardson — the NBA slam dunk contest winner in 2002 and 2003 — knows it’s hard for his daughter to get the experience needed to play a perimeter position that she will likely have to play in college. In high school, good inside players are needed. “It’s difficult for her to do that, but it’s part of the game she has to work on,” said Richardson, who at 6-6 played shooting guard and small forward for several NBA teams, retiring in 2015. “She has one more year. Last year was a wash — she was hurt and SEE BENTON, P29

Cherry Creek wrestler earns sixth at state Kai Blake battles back for spot on the podium BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherry Creek sophomore Kai Blake put the second-round loss in the championship bracket behind him as he went on to earn a spot on the awards podium by finishing in sixth place in the Class 5A 152-pound weight division at the state wrestling tournament, held Feb. 16-18 at the Pepsi Center in Denver. Blake got off to a good start as he pinned Darren Templeton of Thornton in the first round in the championship bracket. But he lost to Josh Betts of Rocky Mountain in the championship quarterfinals. Since the tournament used a double-elimination format, he re-entered competition in the second consolation bracket round. He won his next two contests, with an 8-5 decision over Brian Hodes of Regis and an 8-6 decision over Ethan Blake of Legend, which earned him a spot in the consolation semifinals. Blake lost a tough match to Preston Renner of Broomfield in the semifinals and lost the battle for fifth to Nathan Baca of Brighton. Blake said it was very special to be the last wrestler representing his team at state as he prepared for the

‘I am proud to be here representing Cherry Creek but I don’t feel there is any pressure on me.’

match with Renner. “I am proud to be here representing Cherry Creek but I don’t feel there is any pressure on me,” he said. “It feels good to be here and get this far but I am a sophomore, so if I win or lose from here on it is OK because I still expect to have two more seasons wrestling for my team.” He said he was inspired to become a wrestler when he watched his uncle wrestle for Cherry Creek.

forwards, good leadership and probably the best team chemistry we have had in the four years I have been head coach,” Cherry Creek coach Jeff Mielnicki said. “The program is growing. The junior varsity is strong and players are battling for a spot on the varsity. I think this program is doing Cherry Creek proud.” Mountain Vista Coach Kevin Insana said he too has a solid team. “We have good talent throughout our lineup,” he said. “I feel our strength is the play of our goalies. I am fortunate to have three junior goalies on our roster. This is my second year as head coach, teams are always different and I feel it is a huge plus for us that we have more depth now than we did last season.” Key moments Cherry Creek scored with 12:50 left in the first period when Joe Whitmore stole a pass and finished off a break-away with an unassisted goal. The Bruins went up 2-1 before the end of the period and scored again early in the second period to make it 3-1. Mountain Vista scored on a power play minutes later, but the Bruins scored again to make it 4-1 going into the final period. The Golden Eagles scored a powerplay goal to make it 4-2 and Diego

Key players/statistics Lovato led the Bruins scoring with two goals while teammates Joe Whitmore, Bryan Cyrus and Garret Glaspy each scored a goal for Cherry Creek. Teammates Sam Harris, Harry Raabe, Danny Taggart and Joe Caputo each had an assist. Ryan Bevan was in goal for Cherry Creek and made 19 saves. The Bruins put 30 shots on goal Kaden Stewart had a goal and an assist and Dylan Nurse scored a goal for Mountain Vista. Derek Nead, Josh Pusar and Andrew Best each had an assist. Golden Eagles goalie Brandon Sego made 25 saves and the team took 21 shots at the Bruins’ goal.

Ian Duncan pushes the puck up the ice for Mountain Vista as Cherry Creek defender Conor Heathershaw moves in to try to turn aside the Golden Eagles attack during the Feb. 16 league hockey game. Mountain Vista played well but the Bruins got the goals they needed to win the game, 5-2. TOM MUNDS

They said it Lovato said he was ready to go out on the ice when he got to the rink. “It was a physical game, we knew it would be and I think it was really a fun game,” he said. He said he was happy he could score two goals for his team, including the empty netter near the end of the game. “I was a little afraid when I got the puck and got ahead of the defender with an open net ahead of me,” he said. “That open net looked big and small at the same time. I just tried to focus on getting the puck and it did go in, thank goodness.”

He was behind 7-4 but got the points to tie the score with less than 30 seconds left in the third period.

The Jefferson senior won the Class 3A championship at 132 pounds with an 8-3 decision over Brandon Damian of Valley at the Colorado State Wrestling Championships over the weekend. It was the second consecutive state title after winning at 126 pounds in 2016. He also leaves Colorado high school wrestling as the all-time leader with 177 career wins. “It was a great way to finish my career in high school,” Cisneros said. “I couldn’t ask to finish any other way.” Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.
