Website to track major road project Visitors to get up-to-theminute news on Arapahoe widening work in Centennial

By George Lurie

glurie@coloradocommunitymedia.com The City of Centennial has contracted with a PR firm to provide “public outreach” services for the $15 million project to widen Arapahoe Road from Waco Street to Himalaya Way. Bachman PR will oversee the project website, which will be accessible at http:// arapahoeroad.com.

The website is scheduled to go live on March 7.

Lisa Bachman, whose Colorado Springsbased public relations agency has been involved in promoting a number of high-profile road projects in the metro area in recent

years, said the new website will include work schedules, notices of public meetings related to the project, project photos, public comments and FAQs. “The website will be the place for people to go to get all of the latest details and information” about the project, said Bachman.

Centennial Engineering Manager Travis Greiman said one of the main goals for the website is “to communicate the impacts the project will have on adjacent properties, to engage the public during the final design phase and obtain input from residents on a prioritized list of enhancements” related to the project, including new berms, fencing and landscaping.

While formal roadwork is not scheduled to begin until March 2015, Mayor Cathy Noon said city officials are making a concerted effort to educate and involve the public during “every step of the process.”

Local leaders share success stories South metro area thriving and growing, they say at ACC event

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com It was a virtual love fest at Arapahoe Community College on the morning of Feb. 20, with community leaders from Centennial, Douglas County, Englewood, Greenwood Village, Littleton and Lone Tree praising each other and touting their own recent accomplishments.

“Government gets a lot of knocks … but you will not find a better group of people to govern than the group you have right now,” Greenwood Village Mayor Ron Rakowsky said after reading a long list of names, many of whom were in the room for the FirstBank Community Leaders Forum.

Littleton Mayor Phil Cernanec kicked things off by noting an influx of development activity such as Breckenridge Brewery, a large mixed-use project at Broadway and Dry Creek Road, two apartment complexes, a host of automotive dealership improvements, the King Soopers remodel and the proposed construction of an events center.

“Littleton itself is mostly built out, and certainly not sleepy,” he said.

Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning said the Charles Schwab campus that’s under way

will add about 4,000 jobs to his city. The health-care industry is burgeoning in and around Sky Ridge Hospital, as well, with a new Kaiser Permanente facility. Add Cabela’s, Embassy Suites and the new arts center to the mix, and Gunning says the city is thriving.

Upcoming things to watch for in Lone Tree are the planned light-rail extension, a pitch to CSU for its first metro-area campus, and possibly a new library and a circulator bus.

“These things come together and they form a very powerful magnet for business,” he said.

Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon noted her city just became a teenager and is experiencing the accompanying growth spurts.

“Things are getting better,” she said.

“People are willing to reinvest in our community and their businesses.”

On the horizon are more national chains for the Streets at SouthGlenn, some small breweries, 42 acres of mixed use north of Ikea and improvements to Arapahoe Road.

ViewHouse restaurant will open a second location in Centennial, with sweeping views for rooftop diners, games and water features. TopGolf, which Noon described as a combination of golf and bowling, is planning a facility that will also feature food and drinks.

Englewood Mayor Randy Penn de-

scribed his city as the “elder stateman” of the group.

“Englewood is old, but we are not dead,” he said.

New apartments will replace the demolished Flood Middle School on South Broadway soon, there’s a new Sprouts grocery store, and Swedish Hospital is expanding to seven stories.

A mixed-use redevelopment will rise at Broadway and Englewood Parkway, and the Belleview corridor will likely be designated for urban renewal, said Penn. Additionally, he’s excited about improvements to the South Platte River that will result in more recreational opportunities.

Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella said her board has focused lately on transportation, safety, economic foundations, natural resources and community service.

“It is our responsibility to make sure the conditions exist to be successful in all five of those areas,” she said.

“When you put the right conditions in place, economic development happens on its own.”

Notable projects have included the new Children’s Hospital, and work toward finding a solution for the congested C-470 corridor.

“We have to solve these problems on a local level,” she said.

Although the trial was mock, the lessons were very real for the students who battled it out in the courtroom over a case of texting and driving on Feb. 21.

“This stuff really is real, and one minute of distraction can change a life forever,” warned Arapahoe County Judge Darren Vahle.

He’d heard a real case earlier in the day that involved a 19-year-old woman, barely older than the kids on the mock-trial team.

She unexpectedly hit her brakes to check the GPS on her phone, causing a man on a motorcycle behind her to slide under her car.

“The worst thing is, she killed a father of three,” said Vahle, who graduated from Arapahoe High School just as one team who went before him that day will do this spring.

The AHS team went up against Regis during the final round of the two-day regional tournament, and it was clear that their preparation had made them aware of the dangers of texting and driving. Their case involved a 17-year-old boy who claimed he could “blind text” who hit a 22-year-old female cyclist who was talking to a client on a hands-free device.

“With new power comes great responsibility, and with that responsibility can come great consequences,” said Lindsey Connor in her opening statement.

While the judge doesn’t render an opinion on the mock case, there were three tournament judges to score the kids’ legal maneuverings — everything from addressing Vahle as “your honor” to making the right objection at the right time (even the judge laughed when one Regis student objected on the grounds that opposing counsel was “bolstering the witness” instead of “badgering” him) to their impeachment skills.

February 28, 2014

Political challenges face three freshman lawmakers As the legislative session chugs along, three freshman lawmakers are trying to balance voting their personal ideology with that of the constituents who reside in their complicated districts.

And if that isn’t hard enough, a couple of them are still trying to figure out where the stairwells and exits and other important places are located inside the Capitol.

“The hardest thing for me was finding the bathroom,” said Sen. Bernie Herpin, RColorado Springs. “At my age, that’s important.”

Herpin and senate colleagues George Rivera, R-Pueblo, and Rachel Zenzinger, DArvada, may not always agree on politics.

But they share a common bond that is best summed up by the Grateful Dead’s “St. Stephen” — “One man gathers what another man spills.”

The three gained their seats as a result of recall efforts that sent their predecessors packing. Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo lost to Herpin and Rivera in September recall elections that were spurred by the Democrats’ votes on gun legislation that became law last year.

Zenzinger took over the seat that was held by fellow Democrat Evie Hudak, who resigned in November in the face of a recall effort.

The three didn’t think they’d have their own nameplates inside the Senate’s chambers, at least so soon. But, here they are.

And now that they’re here, they say they are trying to strike the right legislative balance while also trying to keep up with the sometimes complex and often maddening scene inside the Capitol.

I asked Rivera — a former cop who had never held elected office prior to winning his seat — if he has found the legislative

process to be overwhelming.

“I’d be lying if I said no,” Rivera said.

“Because there were instances where I said, ‘Wow, what did I get myself into?’ ” Getting around the building and figuring out how the legislative process works is one thing. Going back to their brutally-drawn districts to convince voters to send them back to the Capitol for a full term will be a whole other ball of wax.

Rivera is surrounded by Democrats in Pueblo’s District 3. Heck, even his wife is a Democrat. Last September, Rivera became the first Republican to represent the Democratic stronghold since the 1930s.

“People were really fed up and upset with a lot of the laws that were passed in Denver,” he said, referring specifically to gun bills and rural electric mandates.

“The bottom line is this: It just doesn’t seem like they understand that although they’re Democrat down there in Pueblo, doggone it, they take them for granted at their peril.”

Then there’s Herpin’s Senate District 11, which includes parts of Colorado Springs.

Now, when folks think of the Springs, they assume that it’s about as safe for a Republican lawmaker as Duke University is for Mike Krzyzewski.

But Herpin’s district is a tough one, and

column to resume next week Ann Macari Healey’s column will return in next week’s edition.

it includes Manitou Springs, where Democrats dig the vibe. Morse barely lost the September recall election to Herpin, by a razor thin margin of 51 percent to 49 percent.

Prior to becoming a state senator, Herpin’s political experience was limited to municipal government, having served on the city council there. But Herpin recently learned the hard way that things said inside council chambers get nothing like the attention they receive inside the Capitol.

A couple of weeks ago, Herpin made headlines during a committee hearing where he was presenting a bill that sought to repeal last year’s law that banned ammunition magazines from carrying more than 15 rounds. The bill was a reaction to recent mass shootings where the killers carried magazines that contained large numbers of ammunition rounds.

Herpin was trying to make the point that high-capacity magazines are unreliable and that perhaps it was “a good thing” that Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes had a 100-round magazine because it jammed.

The senator’s comments were received with outrage by family members who lost loved ones in the Aurora theater shooting.

Herpin said his comments were taken out of context, but that he understands the reaction. “I still think what I was trying to get across was correct, I just think I could have done it better,” he said. “It was my fault for not phrasing my remarks and taking into consideration the sensitivities of the subject.”

Herpin said “it’s not pleasant” when asked what it was like to be on the receiving end of bad press, rather than reading about someone else’s. Herpin then quipped that at least he didn’t go as far as did former Colorado Springs lawmaker Doug Bruce during his infamous antics on the first day of the 2008 legislative session.

“I’ve not yet kicked the reporter or the photographer, so I’m not the worst yet,” Herpin said.

Zenzinger hasn’t kicked a photographer yet either — and somehow, I just don’t see

that happening.

Unlike Herpin, Zenzinger has no problem finding bathrooms in the Capitol, seeing as how she was once an aide to Democratic Sen. Mary Hodge of Adams County.

The margin for error in Herpin’s district is pretty thin, but the one in Zenzinger’s District 19 is New York deli pastrami-like thin - and that’s thin!

Hudak won the seat with 51 percent of the vote in 2008, which was a virtual landslide compared to 2012, when she won by a margin of 584 votes, or by less than 1 percent of the vote.

Zenzinger doesn’t need a math lesson to figure out just how difficult her district is — after all, she ran Hudak’s successful 2012 campaign. She said she tries to convey to her divided constituency that what happens at the Capitol isn’t as divisive as they might think.

“Ninety to 95 percent of the bills passed at the Capitol are actually bipartisan,” she said. “And people go, ‘No they’re not.’ Yes, they actually are. It’s just those 5 percent that are really divisive. And that’s challenging because 50 percent of my district will agree and 50 percent wont agree.”

Zenzinger knows that she’s going to face a stiff challenge this November, regardless of who the Republican nominee turns out to be. She hopes that people will see she’s the same person who served on the Arvada City Council, but she knows full well that conservatives — especially gun enthusiasts — will try to paint her as the second coming of Evie Hudak.

“I’m sure they’re going to try to say that,” Zenzinger said. “So what I’m hoping to demonstrate is that I was OK when I was on city council in representing you and I haven’t changed. Who Rachel Zenzinger is hasn’t changed. So I’m trying to do a good job in showing I am my own person.”

The Centennial restaurant will be built on the lot occupied for more than three decades by the Trail Dust, which closed in December 2009. A sign posted at the Trail Dust’s entrance warned, “Danger: Neckties enter at own risk.”

View House owner François Safieddine has designed ViewHouse 2.0 to take full advantage of the lot’s spectacular mountain views.

The new 16,000-square-foot bistro will offer rooftop dining, outdoor activities similar to those from the flagship location and two large banquet rooms for private parties and events.

The two-story restaurant will have floorto-ceiling glass windows, skylights, fire pits, water features and a large number of TVs tuned to sporting events.

The owner says the bar and food offerings will be adjusted to accommodate the new location’s demographic, including an expanded menu with more focus on entrees that provide a dining atmosphere conducive to casual entertainment.

According to its website, the restaurant’s concept “is firmly rooted in superior quality, locally sourced organic foods created by Chef Jose Guerrero.”

Tate announces bid for HD 37 Former Centennial city council candidate promotes business management experience

By George Lurie

glurie@coloradocommunitymedia.com John “Jack” Tate has jumped into the race for state House District 37, joining a field of five other declared candidates vying for the seat to be vacated by Rep. Spencer Swalm, a Republican who is term-limited.

Tate, a Centennial resident who ran for the District 4 city council seat won in 2013

by C.J. Whelan, announced his candidacy this week, saying he has already knocked on 500 to 600 doors in his district.

“I’d like to think that hard work wins the

day,” he said.

In his run for the statehouse, Tate is promoting his business background and 25-year career managing large capital projects.

“As an engineer, I am used to assessing complex problems and seeking solutions that get the job done right from the start,” he said.

Tate Tate joins a crowded field of Republican candidates seeking to represent eastern Centennial and suburban Arapahoe County, including Jay Ledbetter, Brian Eric Olson, Carrie Penaloza and Michael Fields.

So far, only one Democrat, Marlo Alston, has filed with the Secretary of State’s office to run for the HD 37 seat.

Tate, a Piney Creek resident born in Nashville, Tenn., is married with three children and has lived in Centennial for nine years. He has a bachelor’s degree in engineering from Duke University and an MBA from the University of Colorado-Denver and currently works as general manager and vice president overseeing a strategic business unit for Littleton-based Investive Building Projects.

With the help of a steering committee that includes some veteran area Republicans, Tate says that he is managing his own campaign.

“Citizens are looking for someone with my background, experience and skills to

roll up their sleeves and tackle an issue in depth acting on their behalf and best interest,” Tate says.

In going door to door — and while engaging with district residents at community events — Tate says “citizens continue to express desires for keeping taxes low, protecting individual freedoms, promoting free enterprise and reforming the education system.”

If elected, Tate promises to be “a passionate voice for economic growth and attracting new business to the state.”

“In addition,” he adds, “I will work diligently to return our schools to local control, promote Colorado’s energy independence, end egregious regulations that harm our economic health and support small business.”

Freedom Week inspires teens Sertomans award cash prizes in essay contest

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com South metro eighth-graders proved they take their freedom seriously by sweeping the top awards in the 2014 Sertoma Freedom Week essay contest.

Megan Koch of Cresthill Middle School in Highlands Ranch and Annalise Betts of Powell Middle School in Littleton won first place in their respective regions, each beating 15 other finalists and earning the right to read their essays for the large gathering of proud parents and Sertomans at Pinehurst Country Club on Feb. 18.

Betts wrote about her great-grandmother, who emigrated from Greece in 1922.

“To her, freedom meant escaping from the Turkish military terrorizing her island when she was a teenager. To me, freedom is not only an achievement of our bravery during the American Revolution, but a gift that can be savored and shared. This gift includes the right for me to receive an education, develop my own opinions and believe in my own religion.

“These liberties contribute to my background and experiences, which form my

personality. Freedom empowers me to express my individuality and to show that I’m different than everybody else. It allows me to make my own choices, learn from my own mistakes and live my own life.”

Koch spoke of the many women who have struggled for freedom over the years, from Susan B. Anthony to Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

“Freedom means giving somebody the pen to write their life story,” she wrote. “…

My parents taught me to write my future with the power of my heart, helping others along the way.”

Proud mother Lori Koch said she wasn’t at all surprised her daughter was taking home top honors, along with the $300 first prize.

“She’s always had a lot of ambition,” she said.

Organizers say theirs is the largest Freedom Week luncheon in the country, involving 14 clubs from both the Central Colorado and Front Range districts. This was their 31st such event.

“The purpose of Freedom Week is to involve our community in a celebration of liberty, the central concept of our nation’s historical beginning,” they wrote in the event flyer. “We strive to promote an awareness of how our lives have been enriched by the premise of freedom.”

Arapahoe County Democrats and Republicans begin the process to select party candidates for county, state and national offices during the March 4 precinct caucuses.

The precinct is a geographic designation established by the county. The caucus is the grassroots gathering in the political candidate-selection process.

There are 369 precincts in Arapahoe County. Each precinct can hold its own caucus but frequently a number of precincts will hold caucuses at the same location such as a church or school.

The precinct locations are identified on the county party websites. The web address for the Arapahoe County Democrats is www.arapahoedems.org. The web address for the Arapahoe County Republicans is www.arapahoerepublicans.org.

A precinct caucus is Colorado’s smallest political gathering where party members who live within the precinct’s geographical boundaries meet for a discussion of issues and candidates. Any resident who is a reg-

istered voter in that particular party can attend the caucus.

Generally, the first step at the precinct caucus is to elect a chairperson and a secretary. The people at the caucus elect two representatives to the party’s county central committee and then elect delegates to the county assembly There generally is a preference poll vote for if there is more than one candidate for an elected office. If there is more than one party candidate for a position, the number of precinct delegates to the county assembly pledged to that candidate is based on the vote percentage.

The next step in the nomination process is the county assembly. At the county assembly, delegates elected from the precincts work on party platform plank issues and nominate party delegates for county offices.

This year, the Arapahoe County GOP Assembly will be held March 29 at Arapahoe High School, 2201 E. Dry Creek Road. The state assembly will be held April 12 at the Coors Event Center in Boulder.

The Arapahoe County Democrats will meet for their assembly March 22 at Grandview High School, 20500 E. Arapahoe Road.

The state assembly will be held April 12 at the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver.

The party assemblies and conventions lead up to the state primary election that will be held June 24.

Former DA Jim Peters dies Peters’ legacy honored by officials, municipalities Staff report The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office has announced the passing of former DA Jim Peters.

Peters died Feb. 19 after an extended battle with cancer. He was the predecessor to Carol Chambers, serving the 18th Judicial District from 1997 to 2005. Peters successfully prosecuted mass murderer Nathan Dunlap, the man who killed four people at Chuck E. Cheese in 1993.

District attorney George Brauchler said Peters’ “legacy is one few could match.”

“Our community has lost one of the

great champions for justice,” he said. “Jim inspired prosecutors — both novice and seasoned — to give victims a voice and vigorously pursue justice for them, ever mindful of the need to temper the application of our laws with mercy.”

Peters’ funeral will be at 11:30 a.m. Feb. 28 at St. Thomas More Catholic Parish, 8035 South Quebec Street in Centennial.

Arapahoe and Lincoln counties lowered their county flags Feb. 21 and will do so through the day of the funeral.

Douglas County will lower its flag at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center and the Elbert County Sheriff’s Office will lower their flag through the day of the funeral as well.

The U.S. and state flags will be lowered on the day of the funeral.

Ribbon ‘shooting’ held at Centennial Gun Club Feb. 20 event spotlights 2nd Amendment rights

By George Lurie

glurie@coloradocommunitymedia.com A ribbon “shooting” was held at the Centennial Gun Club on Feb. 20 and some high-profile political leaders turned out for the event — and to voice their support for the Second Amendment.

Sponsored by the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, several hundred people attended the ceremony at Colorado’s largest gun club, which opened Jan. 4.

KOA Radio personality Stephan Tubbs (left) emceed the ribbon “shooting” ceremony. South Metro Chamber of Commerce CEO John Brackney (right) also spoke briefly at the event.

The facility, owned by Richard and Mary Abramson, encompasses some 35,000 square feet and includes 28 shooting lanes, a 5,000-square-foot retail store and a lavish, members-only VIP lounge.

Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donohue, an outspoken gun rights advocate, is a managing partner of the club and attended the Feb. 20 event, which allowed dignitaries who signed waivers to shoot, rather than cut, ribbons to officially open the facility.

Because the ribbon shooting was also promoted as a gun rally, a number of area elected officials declined invitations to attend the

event.

But a veritable constellation of Republican lawmakers and political candidates did come, including Congressman Mike Coffman, Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler and 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler.

Douglas County Sheriff Dave Weaver, who is term-limited and a candidate for the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners, turned out for the event, as did the three candidates seeking to replace him as sheriff — Undersheriff Tony Spurlock, Castle Rock Police Cmdr. John Anderson and Coroner Lora Thomas.

Centennial City Councilmem-

ber Stephanie Piko, a member of the gun club, also attended the event, which was emceed by KOA Radio’s Stephan Tubbs, who kicked off the proceedings by stating his unequivocal support of the Second Amendment and adding that it was his job “to keep Mike Coffman from speaking for more than 10 minutes.”

Coffman, who represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District — which includes Aurora, Centennial, Littleton and Highlands Ranch — kept his remarks brief, reaffirming his support for the Second Amendment and recounting how his office had helped the Abramsons secure their SBA loan

to build their facility.

Addressing the Abramsons directly before turning the microphone back to Tubbs, Coffman said: “God bless you and best of luck with the facility.”

South Metro Chamber CEO John Brackney also gave a short speech about the importance of protecting Constitutional rights.

“What makes America great are people like Richard and Mary (Abramson) doing the hard work,” Brackney said.

Richard Abramson also took a moment to thank the crowd for coming out, saying, “We believe owning firearms is a tremendous responsibility.”

Support ‘right to know’ in challenging times The latest developments in digital communications were discussed at length at the Colorado Press Association annual convention Feb. 21 in Denver. While the expanding modes of obtaining news continues in an extended renaissance period, it appears while more and more information is literally at hand, the information that is so important to the public’s right to know is not flowing so freely.

One discussion led by experts in media law focused on current challenges obtaining public records from government entities.

Journalists’ heads nodded to comments that the cost of obtaining documents often remains a barrier. Heads nodded

our view that information is sometimes being held back based on how the provider thinks the media may present it —such as putting it online — while the public’s right to know should not be limited by who wants it and how it may be used.

And heads nodded when media experts said the state appellate courts are no longer on “our” side — meaning specifically the media — thwarting our role to obtain information and be a watchdog on govern-

letter to the editor Caucuses are coming up

While the political ads and candidate announcements have begun, the official start of the 2014 election season kicks off at 7 p.m. March 4. That’s the date of Colorado’s grassroots political process: the Precinct Caucus.

Unlike some states, which only conduct primary elections, Colorado conducts precinct caucuses. This process gives members of political parties the opportunity to meet, debate issues and nominate candidates to represent them on the 2014 election ballot. Caucus attendees can speak on behalf of their favorite candidates, vote for their favorites and elect delegates to the countywide assemblies and convention.

This year candidates for Colorado governor, treasurer, secretary of state attorney general and the U.S. Senate and Congressional seats, Colorado legislators and county officials will be up for election. Information about the candidates is on the League of Women Voters of Arapahoe County’s web site, www.lwvarapahoe.org.

Any registered voter in one of Colorado’s major political parties (Republican,

Democrat, American Constitutional) can attend a caucus. Colorado does not allow unaffiliated (Independent) voters to participate. Caucuses are held in homes, schools, churches and community buildings throughout each Colorado County. To find your location you will need your precinct number. Visit the following websites or call the following phone numbers for information: Arapahoe County Democrats: www. arapahoedems.org or 303-338-1202 Arapahoe County Republicans: www. arapahoerepublicans.org or 303-779-1115 American Constitution Party: www.constitutionparty.com or 720-772-4227 Arapahoe County Clerk: www.arapahoevotes.com or 303-795-4511 Douglas County Republicans: www. dcgop.org or 303-730-0100 Douglas County Democrats: www.douglasdemocrats.org or 720-509-9048 Douglas County Clerk: www.douglas. co.us/clerk or 303-660-7469 Marlu Burkamp League of Women Voters of Arapahoe County

The life you change could be your own There is an old short story, actually written in 1955, that was part of a series authored by Flannery O’Connor titled “The Life You Save May Be Your Own.” And several years ago as the use of seat belts became mandatory, a slogan and commercial became popular that used this very same wording, “The Life You Save May Be Your Own.” What if we modified the statement with just one word, “The life you change may be your own?”

Have you ever done something for someone else, maybe changed their life in a small or maybe even very significant way? And although you helped the other person, in some way you also recognized that a part of you had been changed as well. Some people have shared with me that when they actually did something for another person or helped them make a change, their own lives changed as well, and generally for the better.

The change may have been only temporary, but they noticed a change. And others have told me that the impact on their own life has changed them forever, just by helping someone else make a change in their personal or professional life.

I receive emails all the time from the community and the testimonies regarding this are really incredible. And the stories are very similar, people experience a positive change in their lives when they have provided assistance to someone else. And the cool thing is this, many of the stories include examples where the person was unaware that they were actually doing something to help out another individual, and before they knew it their own life was transformed in wonderful ways.

Now being intentional about it is something totally different, offering assistance and aid because we are in a position to do so emotionally, financially, spiritually, or physically is awesome. Whether I hear about the examples of success at a seminar or corporate meeting or through an email, each story inspires me and fills me with the belief that there is so much good in this world and that gets done in this world by good people, including you.

The coolest thing that I admire most from each story or example is that the person who shared it with me never claimed to receive anything physical in return. It was not like they did something for someone else and were rewarded in some way, shape, or form. The gift they received was a just a `feeling’ of change or being changed themselves. Some had a hard time explaining or articulating it, but I knew exactly what they meant. There is something inside of us that does change whenever we are able to help someone else, and again it is generally for the better.

It could mean helping them find a job, encouraging them as they battle an addiction, support them as they try and get in shape, talk to them while they are grieving, give them a hand-up if we are in such a position to do so, juts listen, offer a smile, give a necessary and timely hug, enrich their lives with introductions to other people, defend them if they are wronged or just stand by their side.

There are hundreds of other examples of how we can help change a life, but the only ones that ever matter are the ones that we take action on.

“The life you change could be your own,” and I would love to hear all about your story or example at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we help someone make a change, and when we feel that positive change in our own lives, it truly will be a better than good week.

ment. The whys of the present climate can be contemplated, but we agree with the general notion that the impact of 9/11 turned tides to tightening of information to media and compromising privacy of the public.

We profess media is not so beloved by the masses, but when we write informative stories, we know our work is valued.

For this reason, we agree with the notion that the work of maintaining strong open records laws and the public’s right to know may soon involve more effort from the public itself, perhaps even in the form of a public initiative on the ballot someday.

We have editorialized often about the importance of the First Amendment and

the public’s right to know, so today we share a pitch for you to take a look at a relatively new nonprofit group in Colorado called the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition.

The organization wants to serve the media and emphasized it wants to serve those in the general public facing challenges obtaining information. Please visit the FOIC website, which has been online less than a year. Yes, full participation involves a modest membership fee, but we strongly commend the work the coalition is doing at the early stage.

Take a moment to think about the work we do and the information you need while viewing the content at coloradofoic.org.

Julia always said that it is best to ‘save the leftovers’ Butter-loving chef Julia Child — or maybe it was Dan Aykroyd, who impersonated Child — said “save the leftovers.” It is good advice. I save my leftovers, that’s for sure. What I mean is, I save the written bits that don’t make it to the final draft.

There is always something that has to be cut out that I really wanted to keep in a column, but for a number of reasons had to be scrapped. I put the scraps in a folder and save them for a day when I need to throw something together pronto for my editor because I have to catch a plane.

Julia was taller than Dan. She was 6-foot-2 and Dan is 6-1. People make fun of Julia, but not old Craig. She was terrific.

Sure, her appearance was unusual, and her cadence was too, and she wasn’t exactly chef Cat Cora now, was she?

She was what my ornithologist would call a “hoot.” She said, “The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook.”

And, “How can a nation be called great if its bread tastes like Kleenex?”

I saved this leftover from an in-depth column about Phil Knight, Nike, and the Oregon Ducks. If you have seen the Oregon football team, you know they never wear the same uniform twice, and it’s thanks to Nike CEO Knight.

“Doctor, doctor, my wife thinks she’s a duck.”

“Bring her in to see me right away.”

“I can’t - she’s already flown south for the winter.”

Man, it was hard to delete that.

I wrote a column about our neighbor to the east, Nebraska. Some of my favorite people are from Nebraska. Fred Astaire was from Nebraska, and so were Marlon Brando, Henry Fonda and civil rights advocate Malcolm X. So why did I have to blemish the homage with a Nebraska joke or two?

“What’s the best thing to come out of Nebraska? I-80.”

That was so unnecessary. I researched Nebraska laws and discovered that in Waterloo, it’s illegal for barbers to eat onions between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. That was cut.

I wrote a column about the junk that people put in their coffee, like cream and sugar. I said that some people think that on the Eighth Day, God created coffee. You can probably figure out why that had to go.

I wanted to compliment the dentistry profession. I have a wonderful dentist. But it just seems inevitable that I’ll want to try to slip something in there that doesn’t belong. She was named Dentist of the Year, so I asked her, “What did you get? A little plaque?”

I can hear the groans. I read what other columnists write, and it doesn’t seem like any of them have this problem, or maybe they do and we just don’t know about it because they hit “delete” before it goes out.

I don’t know if this is a true story or not, but Charles Dickens allegedly was asked by his publisher to delete one sentence, just one sentence, from the manuscript of “A Christmas Carol.” I wish it had been left in.

What do you think? Here it is, or was: “Tiny Tim, quit picking your nose.”

He had always shown signs of anxiety, not, but then he got really depressed and started ed by experimenting with drugs and alcohol. One ust day she came home and he’d organized the “A refrigerator and alphabetized all the spices ft in. in the kitchen. Then she realized he was Tiny cutting himself.

“All these things were happening, but I wasn’t putting it all together,” she said. “The last thing you would think of is mental illt. ness, especially if you don’t have it in the th@ family. You might think drugs, you might think alcohol, but you don’t think this is emerging mental illness.”

In fact, it wasn’t until her son learned about depression in health class and got concerned himself that they went to the doctor and eventually ended up with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

“You’re reeling, your whole world has changed, and it’s never going to be the same again,” she said.

With the recent spate of suicides and murders committed by young men in the south-metro area, NAMI is working hard to get the word out so that more of those stories can have better outcomes, as Moore’s son’s has.

“We can provide so much support to families,” she said. “The more education and support they have, the better able they’re going to be to help their loved ones.”

NAMI offers free classes and support to people with disorders ranging from major depression to schizophrenia to post-traumatic stress. Loved ones are encouraged to participate, in particular through a 12-week class called Family to Family. Topics covered include how to find resources, how to deal with law enforcement should that become necessary, current research, communication skills and self-care, among many more.

Moore’s personal feeling is that everyone should know as much about mental-health care as they do about basic first aid, to bring the subject out of hiding.

“We realize there is a lot of stigma, and stigma gets in the way of getting help,” she said. “These are biological disorders like diabetes, like cancer. I think what makes people so scared of it is that the behavior is strange. A lot of mental illness is not visible, they’re not in wheelchairs or casts. You just have to be nice to people, because you don’t know what kind of cross they are carrying.”

Her own son went through a phase when he wasn’t hanging out with his usual group of friends, and now she wonders if it was because his behavior was changing, if he had become the “weird kid,” as so many with mental illness do.

“The other kids think, `That kid is a troublemaker, the weird one, that kid is a jerk,’ ” she said. “They don’t stop to think that it might not be intentional. … They might get fidgety, or withdraw, or become overly talkative or do both of those things within minutes of each other.”

NAMI Arapahoe/Douglas is working on a program that would let young people who are dealing with mental illness share their experiences in area schools.

“It would bring someone into the classrooms who looks just like them,” she said.

It can be hard for loved ones to know when to reach out for help, she acknowledges, because who’s to say when the line is crossed on the continuum of normal?

“When it gets to the point when it seems outside of the range, or it goes on too long,” she said. “As a parent, you would know your kid and maybe know when it’s gone over a line.”

After her son’s diagnosis, she found NAMI when she realized she needed help with how to go forward.

“My son just hated it, because I kept checking on him,” she said. “I treated him like a baby, and sometimes it made it worse.”

She says she’s gained a sense of empathy along their journey, and hopes her story will help other parents be more aware of when and how to get help for troubled kids.

“It’s so hard to find resources, and a lot of people fall through the cracks,” she said.

Lawsuit filed against state over gay marriage Ban denies same-sex couples `equal protection,’ suit says

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Blasting Colorado’s gay marriage ban as a law that creates “two classes of citizens,” a group of nine gay couples have filed a lawsuit against the state that could pave the way toward same-sex marriage here.

The lawsuit was filed in Denver District Court on Feb. 19 and it alleges that a 2006 voter-backed referendum banning gay marriage denies same-sex couples “equal protection, due process and basic fairness,” which violates the U.S. Constitution.

“Colorado’s exclusion of same-sex couples from the institution of marriage has adversely impacted the plaintiffs and other Colorado same-sex couples in real and significant ways,” the lawsuit reads.

Nine couples who reside in different parts of the state are listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. They include a former Arvada police officer who lives with her partner of more than three years and their 5-yearold son; a Littleton couple who were the first couple to be issued a civil union in Arapahoe County last year; and a Lone Tree couple of 12 years who recently married in Washington state because they could not do so here.

“The situations faced by these couples are similar to those faced by many other same-sex couples in Colorado who are denied the basic rights, privileges and protections of marriage for themselves and their children,” the lawsuit states.

Eight years ago, Colorado voters through Amendment 43 changed the state’s Constitution to define marriage between a man and a woman. But a lot has happened since that time.

As of this month, 17 states have legal-

ized same-sex marriage. And just last year, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down key provisions of the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied gay couples federal benefits that heterosexual couples enjoy.

Most recently, challenges to same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma have been brought before the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.

Last year, the Legislature created civil unions in Colorado. But the lawsuit states that the new protections don’t go far enough.

“Like many other couples with a lifelong commitment, the unmarried plaintiffs are spouses in every sense, except that Colorado law will not allow them to marry, instead only offering them the second-class and unequal options of civil unions,” the lawsuit states.

Gay lawmakers agreed.

“We made progress with civil unions last year, but obviously that’s not enough,” said

Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, who is gay.

“That still denies a lot of couples some critical federal benefits they could be getting if they were married.”

House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, Colorado’s first openly gay House speaker, said the lawsuit was “inevitable” and that public opinion on gay marriage has shifted dramatically since the Colorado ban was put in place “People have a fear of the unknown in some sense,” said Ferrandino. “So, once people start seeing same-sex couples in relationships and they have friends and relatives who are in committed relationships, it’s like, ‘Well, this really hasn’t impacted me. And they’re happier, so why would I be against this?’

“The speed at which this is changing both from the public perspective and the legal perspective is faster than almost anything I’ve ever seen.”

No morning happy hour for late-night bar bill House kills measure that would have allowed bars to stay open until 4:30 a.m.

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sorry bar flies, but a bill that would have allowed watering holes to stay open past 2 a.m. was rejected in the House on Feb. 17.

House Bill 1132 would have let cities and towns decide whether bars can stay open until 4:30 in the morning. But the effort died after an amendment that was tacked on to the bill caused it to lose the support of a key stakeholder.

The bill received initial approval in the House the previous week. But the day of the final vote, an exasperated bill sponsor de-

cided to pull the plug on the effort.

“Let’s go back to the drawing board,” said Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver. “Go ahead and put me out my misery and kill this bill.”

Colorado law prohibits bars from staying open between the hours of 2 and 7 in the morning.

The bill was being promoted as a way to curb violence and chaos that has caused problems outside downtown Denver’s night spots.

Supporters argued that the mass exodus of rowdy patrons at 2 a.m. puts a strain on police resources and that by allowing bars to stay open later, there would be fewer drunks spilling out into the streets at the same time.

Rep. Jovan Melton, D-Aurora, said his wife was a victim of that chaos. Melton said that a stray bullet struck his wife as she was driving through downtown Denver as pa-

trons were exiting bars at 2 a.m.

“That might not have happened had we had staggered times or had later hours where everyone wasn’t out in the street at once,” Melton said.

The bill provided for interesting debate, one that was not the usual party-line fight.

For example, Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, urged support of the bill, saying that it allowed for local governments to make their own decisions about what’s best for their communities.

But Rep. K.C. Becker, D-Boulder, said the bill could have “unintended consequences,” such as more drunken-driving fatalities.

Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, said he couldn’t understand how the bill improves public safety.

“I’ve never understood how letting a bar stay open until three is going to improve the

behavior of those who are inebriated when they hit the streets,” he said.

The bill was peppered with amendments during a second-reading House vote on Feb. 14, including one that would spell its doom.

The House supported an amendment that would have allowed the extended hours, but would have also allowed local governments the ability to shorten bar hours, meaning that the bar-closing range would have been between 1 and 4:30 in the morning.

That amendment caused the Colorado Restaurant Association to withdraw support for the bill, causing Duran to ask members to kill her own bill in hopes of giving it another shot next year.

“I think all the amending going on around this bill shows that this bill doesn’t do what it needs to do,” Gardner said.

Man surrenders after standoff Staff report A two-hour standoff occurred on Feb. 20 after a Drury Inn hotel employee requested sheriff deputies perform a welfare check on one of the hotel’s guests.

When deputies arrived at the hotel, located at 9445 E. Dry Creek Road, the subject had barricaded himself into his room and threatened to shoot deputies.

Surrounding hotel rooms were evacuated as a precaution and after several hours of negotiations involving the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team, the subject, Michael Alan Connell, 26, surrendered and was taken into custody.

He was charged with criminal mischief, false reporting of an explosive device and obstructing a peace officer and is being held in the Arapahoe County jail on $6,000 bond.

‘More than a

drumcircle’

Percussion enthusiasts at g on Wind Crest meet weekly esn’t

By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia. com

O

n any given Thursday, a steady drumbeat can be heard around the main offices at the Wind Crest retirement community.

It’s not an Apache war tribe, but the sources of those rhythmic sounds have certainly conquered an upstairs recreation room.

Residents get together for a weekly drum circle on Thursday afternoons. And while it may get a little loud, there is no shortage of fun.

“What happens in drum circle stays in drum circle,” resident Mary Tomulet said.

“We can get pretty wild.”

On this particular Thursday, they beat their bongos and drums along with song selections ranging from Johnny Cash to Apache music. Sometimes they sing along and sometimes they dance.

“Sometimes they ask us to play at events here at Wind Crest,” Tomulet said, adding that the group of merry drummers has also taken trips to Pow Wows.

“So, we’ve been on the road,” she joked.

Many of the members have been drumming with the circle since it formed in 2010, and the activity is equal parts socialization and therapy.

Drawing on ancient native techniques, studies show that drumming can help treat a number of afflictions, ranging from stress relief and trauma release to chronic pain and high blood pressure.

During one session, the group had a nurse come in to take their blood pressure to compare before and after the activity.

After an hour of drumming, Tomulet said those numbers dropped “substantially.”

This collective of percussion enthusiasts take pride in their drums, some with hand-painted covers and unique materials.

“A lot of these are handmade.

I got this one in Taos Pueblo, New Mexico,” Peter DeBlois said, showing off the elkhide surface of his instrument.

At the end of the day, the group is “more than just a drum circle,” resident Marta Garay said.

“It’s a circle of care and compassion.

There’s a lot of camaraderie,” Garay said.

“We never know when a good laugh will come or from where.”

Travel + Leisure has placed Aspen at No. 18 in its Top 21 list of the world’s best cities for romance. Here’s what the magazine wrote: “From its snowcapped peaks to its Victorian-era main street, this Old West mountain town lures outdoors lovers with classic Rocky Mountain ambience all year round. Lovebirds can schuss down Buttermilk Mountain in winter, hike wildflower fields in spring, or take in a bevy of festivals from music to world politics all summer long. It’s rightly famous social scene? That’s available any time of year.

“Don’t Miss: Snowcatting to 10,900 feet for an Alps-inspired menu and high-octane views at Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro, one of America’s most romantic restaurants (December-April).”

Coohill owner-chef heads to Iceland

Tom Coohill, chef/owner of Coohills, 1400 Wewatta St. in Denver, has been invited to compete in Iceland’s Food and Fun Festival. He has accepted and will attend.

The festival takes place in Reykjavik from Feb. 26 through March 2, and includes 13 guest chefs and finest restaurants.

Coohill is paired with Rub 23, a restaurant that specializes in ingredients from Icelandic fishermen and farmers and serves a wide selection of sushi.

The other food element of the festival is the chef competition, which takes place on the last day. The chefs compete by creating three courses from Icelandic-only ingredients.

Fellow chef, Jennifer Jasinski, a “Top Chef Masters” contender and chef/owner of Rioja (1431 Larimer St.) and other restaurants, will be serving as a judge at the festival, adding another Denver connection to the event.

Zengo celebrates 10th anniversary

Zengo, the Richard Sandoval Asian fusion restaurant at 1610 Little Raven St. in Denver, is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

In honor of the milestone, chef Clint Wagneses and Sandoval will prepare a four-course prix fixe dinner with optional beverage pairings on March 5. The celebration dinner is $65 per person and reservations are necessary for this event.

On March 6-9, Zengo will feature a Zen for $10 feature menu where items from the current menu and past menu, will be featured at dinner for $10, as an additional menu item. A photo contest also kicks off on Feb. 24 and runs through March 9 where guests can submit a photo on Zengo’s Facebook of what Zengo has meant to them and enter for a chance to win a trip to Cancun.

For reservations and information, go to www.richardsandoval.com/zengodenver.

Liz Murray to speak at fundraiser

Irwin Steiner plays to a big band song Feb. 20. Numerous styles of music are played each week during the circle.

Mary Tomulet joyfully plays along to a Johnny Cash song on Feb. 20. “What happens in drum circle stays in drum circle,” Tomulet says.

The first year fundraiser for Warren Village, a troubled girls sanctuary in Aurora, will be an All-Star Breakfast featuring keynote speaker Liz Murray, who will share her story “From Homeless to Harvard.”

Murray has certainly had to overcome adversity and has had a journey similar to many residents of Warren Village.

A life in arts leads to service at the museum Joy of volunteering, sharing history drives Littleton’s Jacquie Kitzelman

By Sonya Ellingboe

s e l l i n g b o e @ c o l o ra d o communitymedia.com On March 4, three area women who have dedicated untold hours to the Denver Art Museum will be honored with the Cile Bach Award at the Annual Meeting of the Board of Trustees. They are: Jacquie Kitzelman, Littleton; Elizabeth Clarke, Castle Pines; and Muriel Brainerd, Lakewood.

Cile Bach, wife of early director Otto Bach, is considered the “Mother” of museum volunteers and the award has been given in her name since 1978.

She helped organize children’s programming in 1945 and was hired to the staff in 1946, where she used her experience as a professional journalist to connect with schools, press and radio. The couple concentrated on building a strong group of volunteers.

The South Wing was named for them in 1977.

Docent Jacquie Kitzel-

Elizabeth Clarke (Castle Pines), Muriel Brainard (Lakewood) and Jacquie Kitzelman (Littleton) are the 2014 winners of the annual Cile Bach Awards for outstanding service to the Denver Art Museum. Courtesy photo man remembers an early entry into the arts world — as Raggedy Ann at age 5. Her mother was a music teacher and her father was in arts. She has been in that world since; as a Theatre, Communications and English major at the University of Nebraska, then performing, teaching and in management.

For 11 years, since retir-

ing, she has been a docent at the Denver Art Museum and is currently one of 73 active docents. There are 52 new ones in the lengthy training program, she says.

There are four groups of volunteers at the museum: The Flower Council, greeters, education and the shop.

Front Range Theatre Company, which has been a sort of Act II for the longstanding Castle Rock Players, has taken a big step and moved its operations to Highlands Ranch, where it will initially offer a pair of “Triple Threat” summer theater camps.

We sat down at Tattered Cover’s coffee shop with new Executive Director Laurilea Williams to talk about the organization and future plans.

Williams has been in education for 11 years, teaching at levels from kindergarten through college. She is Director for Headstrong Theatre at Mountain Ridge Middle School and says she enjoys middle school best.

Her Bachelors and Masters degrees in theatre, journalism and theatre education are from Texas A&M University.

She taught in Texas and was involved with nonprofit theaters there before moving to Colorado. She especially loves the design, costume and technical parts of theatre.

Williams is currently in rehearsals with the 2014 edition of Magic Moments in “Marry You” and says she used to work on Front Range Theatre’s

The breakfast fundraiser begins at 7:30 a.m. March 13 at the Marriott Denver City Center, 1701 California St. Radio super star Gloria Neal will emcee. (Love my Glo!).

Sponsorships are still available for this most important fundraiser in support of Warren Village. Successfully breaking the cycle of home-

summer camp in Castle Rock, where she lives. (Just two signed up for the last one…)

Last year, the organization sold off an accumulation of costumes, props and equipment, which gave it enough to pay off any debts. Williams said she suggested the move to Highlands Ranch, where school space was available for activities. New board members will be added slowly. Initial names are being finalized.

The camps for this summer still have some spaces open, she said. Emphasis will be on voice, dancing and acting, with a technical track offered as well.

The camp location is at Mountain Vista High School, 10585 Mountain Vista Ridge.

Staff includes Katie Russell, music teacher; Karen Sprafke, language arts teacher; Liz Meyer, theater lover; Lucas Reeves, choir teacher at Mountain Ridge Middle School, and recent University of Northern Colorado graduate Carolyn Warner, who was a student teacher at Mountain Ridge.

The limit is 50 for each age level: Middle and High School Camp for 11 to 17 year olds will be June 9 to 20, with performances June 20, 21 at Mountain Vista High School. “Disney’s High School Musical” will be the production.

Elementary Camp, for kids 6 to 11 years old will be July 14 to 25, with performances July 25, 26. The production

will be “Disney’s Cinderella” and the camp will be at Mountain Ridge Middle School, next to the high school.

For tuition and registration information, please visit www.frontrangetheatre.org.

Williams is also continuing her practice of taking theatre kids (43 are registered) to New York for a four-day visit, with tickets to “Aladdin,” “Matilda,” and “Newsies” (with “Cinderella” as a back-up). The itinerary also includes: a backstage tour, professional dance workshop, Metropolitan Opera visit, St. Paul, the 9/11 site, Statue of Liberty, Wall Street and Empire State Building, she said. She has theatre friends working there who will meet with the kids.

No doubt, audiences will see some of those same kids onstage later in the summer, inspired by the professional theater they experienced.

Williams hopes to see community theatre develop in Highlands Ranch and has hopes of work-shopping a new play by a Castle Rock writer in 2015, as well as producing Christmas shows and others.

The revised Front Range Theatre Company website is up and running.

A newsletter is in development, it says, while it introduces plans and staff.

There is a contact button for messages that will be checked every 24 hours, Williams said.

Community connections are welcome.

Muriel Brainerd grew up in small town outside Minneapolis and prepared to be a teacher.

She said “My eyes light up when I hear a kid say `I don’t want to leave here!’”

Kitzelman also serves as a mentor for provisional docents on Monday mornings.

“We have homework in collections, design tours, special papers… It’s a major commitment, like a college course,” she said. “It’s really been a joy. The museum treats its volunteers so well. I’ll stay as long as I can walk out of here with a smile on my face.”

People interested in volunteering should contact Meg Morris-Aabakken, she suggests, at mmorris@denverartmuseum.org.

Lust, greed, murder, faith and redemption 21st Century score, strong band carry stories to Ignite Theatre Company

IF YOU GO

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ignite Theatre is presenting a Regional Premiere of the musical, “See What I Wanna See” by Michael John LaChuisa, based on three short stories by Japanese short story writer Rynosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927).

This is not by any means a musical in the “My Fair Lady” sense however, but what the New York Times described as a “chamber musical… with music never meant to be hummed.”

Five actors/singers weave their way through three tales, which occur in medieval Japan, 1950s Manhattan and 21st century New York.

The intimate studio theater at the Aurora Fox lends itself to the work, with well-planned projec-



“See What I Wanna See,” a musical by Michael John Chiusa, plays through March 9 at the Aurora Fox, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 Fridays, Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. Sundays.

Tickets: $27/$19, 720-362-2697, www.ignitetheatre.org. Recommended for ages 15 and over. tions providing the settings from the great gate at Kyoto to various locations in Central Park, NYC. The final act seems most effective as a priest (Steven Burge), who has lost his faith after 9/11, creates a hoax — predicting that a miracle will occur in the park on a specified date. The concept gives distraught people something to look for.

But first, we hear Japanese drumming and see two ill-fated lovers, who contemplate ending their lives. Chanel Karimhani and Brian Walker Smith carry this scene and will probably grow more comfortable with medieval Japan as a stylized location.

Most of the first act is based on a story, “In the Glen,” where a murder occurs — in 1951 Central Park, and there are three different perceptions about what happened to a couple who had just seen the new movie, “Rashomon,” which offers a similar, and well-known, story.

Karimhani and Smith connect with a shady thief, played by Daniel Langhoff and we hear an account by a janitor (Steven Burge) who happened by later.

While the score and voices are not operatic, the entire script is sung, accompanied by taut, moody music.

As Act II opens, a shattered priest is in the park, soon after 9/11, explaining that he is not celebrating Mass — “Bless Me Father” — and that every word in his world is missing a letter. His faith is evaporating.

Karihami appears as a druggedout actress and Smith as a ragged, delusional CPA (“God doesn’t see me. Nobody listens. One day you

Steven Burge, playing an uneasy priest, meets disturbed CPA, portrayed by Brian Walker Smith in Ignite Theatre Company’s “See What I Wanna’ See” as they await a miracle in Central Park. Courtesy photo wanna blow the world away…”)

Langhoff is a reporter sent out to view the miracle.

The strong addition to this act is the priest’s Aunt Monica (Lisa Mumpton) a militant left-winged non-believer who sings a great “Glory Day.” “See What I Wanna See” is in-

teresting theater, with the darkness of a Sondheim production and poetic lines. The staging and presentation, directed by the talented Robert Michael Sanders still has some rough edges, but we commend Ignite and Sanders for delivering an imaginative, thought-provoking evening.

Bruins, Warriors Win medals Cherry Creek, Arapahoe wrestlers place in top six at Class 5A state tournament

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com Cherry Creek and Arapahoe wrestlers took their places on the awards stands at the Feb. 22 finals of the Class 5A State Wrestling Tournament.

A trio of Bruins won medals. Matt Finesilver finished second at 113 pounds, while his two older brothers won championships with Mitch winning the 126-pound title and Zach winning the 138-pound crown.

Two Warriors took home medals as Jaylen Mosqueria took runner-up honors at 180 pounds and John Daniel battled back through the consolation bracket to take the fifth-place medal at 126 pounds.

Arvada West won the team title with 179 points. Pomona was second with 92 points, while Ponderosa finished third with 88 points.

Fine with gold and silver

There were two sets of Finesilver twins wrestling for the Bruins in the tournament. Josh Finesilver did not place at 106 pounds, but he did win one match and his three brothers all went to the finals, helping Cherry Creek to score 81.5 points and finish fourth in the team standings.

Arapahoe placed 17th with 30 points.

Steve Finesilver, father of the Bruin wrestlers, was in the stands for the tournament.

“I am excited for all four of my sons,” he said prior to the championship round.

“It has been a dream of theirs to be together in the state tournament at the Pepsi Center. It is amazing they are all here.”

He smiled and said he planned to be cheering as hard as possible when each of his three sons battling for championships took the mat.

Mitch Finesilver squared off against Jess Hankin of Coronado for the 126-pound state championship. It was a match between two wrestlers who had met numerous times before. This time Finesilver won the match and championship, 1-0.

“It was a challenge. He was explosive

and we knew each other well so it was really hard to get an advantage,” the Cherry Creek senior said. “I was happy to get the win but all the hard work that went into my wrestling career plus the great relationships I had with my teammates and my coaches meant more to me that the medal.”

The victory marks Finesilver’s second state title. Last year he won at 120 pounds.

“I went into the match like I hadn’t won anything before tonight,” he said.

“Each year is different and every match is different. Winning a championship last year doesn’t help you this year.”

After graduation, Mitch Finesilber is going to Duke University. He said the Duke coaches want him to get bigger and stronger and he is fine with that request.

Joining him on the center of a podium, Zack Finesilver won the 138-pound championship match over Jimmy Rothwell of Arvada West 10-4.

“This championship was a long time coming and I visualized this win until it finally happened tonight,” he said.

“Rothwell was a good opponent and was fun to wrestle.”

He said he felt awesome to represent the legacy of Cherry Creek wrestling, all his coaches and all his teammates for four years.

“I also am proud to represent my family,” he said. “All four years were awesome and this year everything came together and I won a state championship which has been my goal all four years.”

Similar to his brother, he has accepted a scholarship to wrestle for Duke University.

Arapahoe’s best finishes

Arapahoe’s 126-pounder John Daniel works to score points against his opponent in the battle for fifth place at the Class 5A State Wrestling Tournament Feb. 22 at the Pepsi Center. Daniel scored a 3-1 decision to win fifth place in his weight class.

Arapahoe senior Jaylen Mosqueira, in his fourth and final year with the team, took some time before talking about finishing second at 180 pounds.

“It’s good to finish second but it isn’t the championship and I wanted to win the championship,” he said. “It was a tough match but I feel I could have wrestled better.

“This has been a great experience. The coaches have been great. They worked with each wrestler helping us to improve our skills. It also has been great to be part

south metro Wrestlers on the podium Wrestlers from south metro schools who placed in the top six of the Class 5A state wrestling tournament Feb. 20-22 at the Pepsi Center include:

285 pounds: 2. Dane Drimmer, Chaparral; 5. Blake Jacobs, ThunderRidge

of the Warrior team where everyone supports and cheers on everyone else.”

He said after graduation he hopes to go to college to play football.

“Wrestling helped me be a better football player,” he said. “It helps physically plus it helps mentally for times like these.”

Warrior John Daniel lost his opening match, but won four of five consolation bracket matches to finish fifth at 126 pounds by scoring a 3-1 decision over Zack Martinez of Mountain Range.

“It was a tough match and I knew I needed the point I got when I escaped right at the end of the second period,” he said after his fifth-place match. “I am a junior so I have another opportunity to come back and do better at the state tournament next year.”

He said he began wrestling in eighth grade and loves the sport.

“I don’t play any other high school sport,” he said. “In the spring, I wrestle freestyle and in the fall I wrestle with my club team. Wrestling is my sport. Between now and next high school season, I am going to work to improve my wrestling techniques, particularly my doubleleg takedown.”

Golden Eagles claim league crown Mountain Vista boys capture first Continental title

of the four region brackets.

“Since I’ve been here we hadn’t beat Highlands Ranch,” said Mountain Vista coach Bob Wood. “So we had to get over that hurdle. It’s an undefeated league title, which has been our goal for a couple years.

We fell short last year. It was a great basketball game and a great atmosphere.”

An overflowing crowd jammed into Mountain Vista’s Eagles Nest gym and witnessed what turned out to be a terrific championship game.

Highlands Ranch could have gained a share of the league title with a win but the Falcons (16-7) wound up in a second-place Continental League tie with Chaparral and Regis Jesuit with 9-2 records.

“It’s great,” added Pemberton. “Our coach before the game said let’s run the Ranch and that’s what we did. It’s just nice to have bragging rights. We’re undefeated in the league. It was nice to come out on top. Both teams had the same kind of talent. We just hustled more.”

There were almost as many momentum changes in the game as the combined 16 3-point baskets that the teams made.

Mountain Vista put together a 14-2 run in the first period to grab an 18-11 advantage. However, Highlands Ranch grabbed a 38-35 halftime lead, and stretched it to 11 points in the first 3:23 of the third quarter with a 9-1 run to open the second half.

The Golden Eagles were ahead 65-61 with 2:26 left in regulation but the Falcons scored four straight points to send the game into overtime when Mountain Vista attempted to run down the clock.

Graham Smith scored the first five points of the overtime with two of his baskets coming after assists from Pemberton as Mountain Vista took a 70-65 lead.

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Quick looks are part of the Mountain Vista offense and the Golden Eagles needed only seven seconds to wrap up the outright Continental League boys basketball championship Feb. 21.

After Evan Motlong of Highlands Ranch scored with 8.6 seconds remaining in overtime to tie the game at 73-all, Mountain Vista’s Brady Shubert took the inbounds pass and heaved it down court to Jake Pemberton.

Pemberton sank the winning layup before the final buzzer to give the Golden Eagles a rousing 75-73 win and the outright league title.

“On that last play we hustled and Brady looked up,” explained Pemberton. “That’s our offense. That’s what the quick look is about. I was just running, he looked up, threw it and I just made an easy layup.”

Highlands Ranch coach Bob Caton admitted his team got beat on a smart play.

“Their kid was very smart,” said Caton.

“He took the ball and heaved it down to the other end and they got a layup.”

The layup sealed Mountain Vista’s 11th conference win and gave the Golden Eagles their first ever Continental League boys basketball title. Mountain Vista (21-1, 11-0 Continental) collected only its second victory in 10 games against Highlands Ranch, en route to earning a top-seed for the Class 5A playoffs.

Highlands Ranch got a No. 2 seed in one

Mountain Vista’s Carson Simon (15) gets airborne on his way to the hoop with only the Falcons’ Keith Coleman (20) in his way. Simon had six points in Mountain Vista’s 75-73 OT thriller Feb. 21, helping the Golden Eagles to their first Continental League title. Zach Braxton (34) and Cole Sundlof (5) look on. Photo by Paul DiSalvo Highlands Ranch battled back and tied the game at 73 on Motlong’s basket only to let Mountain Vista retaliate with the long pass completion and winning layup.

“If we could have shot free throws better (17-for-30), the game would have been a lot easier,” said Wood, who had to ask for the basket at the south end of the gym to be lowered so his team could cut down the net. “We did battle back. We don’t die. We knew our press would get to the other team eventually. Once that happened we were able to control the game.

“We’ve won 14 in a row. We feel like we are one of the better teams in the state.

Highlands Ranch is a really good team and they’ve got a monster inside (Zach Braxton) and he’s really hard pressed to stop. It’s

really nice to be 11-0 in the conference.”

Pemberton, the 6-foot-4 senior who will play for the University of Denver next season, finished with a game-high 27 points and had six assists and five steals.

Subart had 18 points while Smith, Ray Beresford and Jonathan Moore each contributed eight points. Smith, a 6-3 senior, led the team with 14 rebounds.

Braxton, a 6-9 Highlands Ranch senior who is bound for Weber State, led the Falcons with 22 points. Motlong scored 18 and Ryley Stewart had 14 points.

“It was a great high school game,” said Caton. “It was great for the Highlands Ranch community. It was great for both schools and that’s what it is all about. You couldn’t ask for more excitement.”

Valor enters 4A tourney as No. 1 seed Eagles hope to use loss in season finale to build on

geview Feb. 20 but the Eagles are hoping the loss will help the Eagles prepare for the Class 4A state boys basketball playoffs.

“It’s always tough to lose,” said Valor coach Ronnie DeGray. “It’s a tough pill to swallow. At the same time we have to use that as a positive for us. We had been on a nice little streak and played some good teams. Rangeview was by far the best team we’ve played in a long time.”

“This is going to be a major project and we want people to be aware of what’s going on,” Noon said.

On Feb. 3, city council made the decision to “underground” all of the existing overhead utilities adjacent to Arapahoe Road and in the coming months, city officials and representatives from IREA (Intermountain Rural Electric Association) plan to meet with impacted area property owners.

The still mostly rural road, the last two-lane section of Arapahoe, has become a popular route through east Centennial. Every day, some 25,000 cars stream along the hilly 1.5-mile artery, which is dotted with tall, wooden utility poles and nearly as many horses as houses.

will not remain rural much longer: city officials estimate the road will have to handle as many as 51,000 cars a day by 2035.

After reaching agreements with three key funding partners, earlier this month, the Centennial city council gave final approval to spending $10 million on the project.

The City of Aurora will contribute $500,000; SEMSWA — the Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority — will kick in $561,000; and Arapahoe County has agreed to pay $4.1 million toward the project’s total cost.

Current plans call for widening Arapahoe from two to four lanes with six-lane sections built on the east and west ends.

“Lack of continuity between sections of the road, growth along the corridor, increased regional traffic and ongoing drainage and access issues have all contributed to safety

and mobility problems” along that stretch of Arapahoe, Greiman said.

Today, traffic bottlenecks occur on a daily basis where the road shrinks from six to two lanes, at Waco for motorists heading east on Arapahoe and at Himalaya for those driving west.

Traffic studies project six complete lanes will be needed within 10 to 20 years and city officials have initiated the process of acquiring “all necessary right-of-way” so they will not have to re-approach property owners at the time of a future expansion, Greiman said.

City officials have yet to say whether they will invoke eminent domain powers to acquire any properties. “The design process we are going through right now will help us determine what property impacts there will be,” said Greiman. “Once that process is completed, we’ll be in direct contact with potentially impacted property

owners. We’ll meet with them oneon-one.”

When the project is finished, city officials say Arapahoe will become safer, straighter and easier to navigate — and will be able to handle nearly twice as much traffic as its sees today.

It’s taken more than a decade for the project to get off the ground.

Around the time of Centennial’s incorporation in 2001, Arapahoe County had been conducting preliminary design analysis on widening Arapahoe between Waco and Himalaya but the project stalled.

In 2008, the county and city restarted discussions and an updated plan was approved and then put on hold while city officials addressed “funding requirements.”

Greiman said the final design for the project is currently “about 80 percent complete. We’re expecting to have it finalized by mid-year,” he added.

Take Sam Anderson’s stab at a witness in his closing argument, for example: “How can you trust a witness who doesn’t even know which way he was going on a map?”

Sam and his twin sister, Ryan, are both on the AHS team even though they’re seniors at Heritage High School. They say it’s the only activity they share in common, despite being twins.

“I like the people, and it’s really fun,” said Ryan, who played the cyclist. She said the hardest part was not knowing what questions the defense would ask on crossexamination.

Sam played one of her hard-hitting attorneys.

“I do have a little bit of confidence,” he said.

Although Arapahoe didn’t end up advancing to the state tournament, senior Lizzie Stephani took home an Outstanding Attorney Award. Judge Vahle was impressed with the teams overall.

“Sometimes the lawyers that appear in front of me aren’t as good as the ones who appear before me in this court,” he said.

Also impressed was their coach, AHS mom and Dep. Secretary of State Suzanne Staiert.

“This is an amazing group of students,” she said. “It’s been a tough year, and I am so proud of them for making it here and performing at such a high level.”

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Try to say as little as possible about the work you’re doing through the end of the month. Then you can make your announcement and accept your well-deserved plaudits.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You face a more difficult challenge than you expected. but with that strong Taurean determination, you should be able to deal with it successfully by week’s end.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) before you act on your “feelings” about that upcoming decision, it might be wise to do a little fact-checking first. You could be very much surprised by what you don’t find.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A recent workplace success can open some doors that were previously closed to you. On a personal level, expect to receive some important news from a longtime friend and colleague.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Put your wounded pride aside and do what you must to heal that misunderstanding before it takes a potentially irreversible turn and leaves you regretting the loss of a good friend.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) One way to kick a less-than-active social life into high gear or rebuild an outdated Rolodex file is to throw one of your wellorganized get-togethers for friends and associates.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Getting out of an obligation you didn’t really want to take on can be tricky.

An honest explanation of the circumstances can help.

Next time, pay more attention to your usually keen instincts.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Use your Scorpion logic to push for a no-nonsense approach to a perplexing situation. This could help keep present and potential problems from creating more confusion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A friend’s problem might take more time than you want to give. but staying with it once again proves the depth of your Sagittarian friendship and loyalty.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The Sea Goat can benefit from an extra dose of self-confidence to unsettle your detractors, giving you the advantage of putting on a strong presentation of your position.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) You might want to ask a friend or relative for advice on an ongoing personal matter. but be careful not to give away information you might later wish you had kept secret.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Use the weekend for a creativity break to help restore your spiritual energy.

Once that’s done, you’ll be back and more than ready to tackle whatever challenge you need to face.
