MY NAME IS

ALLISON LEYN

Castle Rock business owner likes small-town feel

Running a downtown business There are four owners at Authentic Home and Lifestyle — Sharon Smith, Mary Kropf, Vicki Raichart and i’m Allison. We like Castle Rock a lot. Since there was already The Barn and The Emporium and, hopefully, there will be some others, we thought Castle Rock would be a great place. We’re vintage and new home décor, furniture (that we repaint usually), clothing and jewelry. A little bit of everything. We just think it works well to have both old and new. It’s fun to, in a home, have new pieces like a couch. But I think accessories or a side couch, even your dining room table, can be old. It’s just more interesting than having everything new, and even more interesting that having everything old. We like a lot of different styles. Anything from Victorian to the 1920s, even all this industrial that’s going on. We keep up with the trends. We all bring in a lot of our own vintage. But a lot of the newer clothing, jewelry, home décor, we all do together. You get a little bit of all our personalities. So that’s why it’s kind of very eclectic. It’s just been really nice down

here. Everyone came to introduce themselves to us. It’s very friendly. It’s a nice, small, kind of old-town area, easy to walk around, great restaurants. We really like Castle Rock. Arriving in Castle Rock I’m originally from California. We moved to Aurora about 19 years ago. My brother lived here for years and he was a teacher at Eaglecrest, so we moved to the same area. Now we live in unincorporated Arapahoe. We’ve been there since 2001. It’s been really nice. I love California. I’m from Los Angeles, but there are a lot of people there. It has really grown a lot here, but it’s not as crazy as California. I come to Castle Rock at least once a week, but sometimes I come down more to do the store. There’s so much growth down here, sometimes we come down for some of the new stores, the Outlets or food. My advice I do a lot for the store because I like to create. So I sew pillows, paint furniture, I go looking. Mostly, I like to create. You have to be happy. You might make a lot of money doing something but you hate it. You have to do something that you love.

Jim Smallwood, R-Parker, was elected in November to the state Senate District 4 post, and he began his first legislative session last week. The district includes Parker, Castle Rock, Larkspur and Castle Pines, among other areas of Douglas County. Smallwood is a business owner and employSmallwood ee benefits consultant. What are the two most important issues the Legislature must tackle this session? I think the Colorado Legislature really needs to make progress on both transportation funding and affordablehousing-related construction litigation reform. Although a divided Legislature often has different strategies on how to make significant progress on these issues, the dramatic increase in Colorado’s population and new leadership in both parties has, in my opinion, made 2017 the year that meaningful steps will be taken in these two areas.

that, in a bipartisan manner, works to address the upcoming changes in healthcare and health insurance in Colorado. Federally, both the president-elect and the Congress have given extremely strong indications that they intend to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Many of us have a goal to have a proactive plan in place when such a repeal occurs. It is critical that we know what parts of Obamacare, if any, are important to retain, and what options our citizens need to have when our health benefit exchange no longer functions as it has historically. After everything is said and done, what will constitute a successful session? I am confident that the 2017 session will result in well over 100 new, bipartisan bills becoming law. I will feel better if some of those laws focus on making healthcare more affordable in Colorado. I would also like to see legislation addressing affordable housing, improving transportation infrastructure, encouraging businesses to move to Colorado and supporting both existing businesses and “start-up” enterprises. Finally, I would like to see a clear path drawn for Colorado’s energy and environmental policy, as I expect significant changes from the incoming administration.

U.S. Supreme Court hears case involving autistic student BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The U.S. Supreme Court on Jan. 11 heard the case of an autistic Douglas County School District student whose parents say he wasn’t provided the level of public education required by federal law. The parents are seeking reimbursement for the child’s tuition and related expenses, about $70,000, at a private school. The case centers on what educational benefits are guaranteed to a child with disabilities by a public school under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The case, which dates to 2010, could have a nationwide impact on schools and students with special needs. “We are grateful to the court for hearing arguments in this case, and we are thankful to the Justices for their thoughtful questions. We look forward to the court’s decision later this year,” Douglas County School District interim Superintendent Erin Kane said in an email. “Everyone in DCSD works incredibly hard for the success of every child and we set the bar high in every Individualized Education Program. Regardless of the outcome of this case, the Douglas County School District will continue to provide all special education students with carefully tailored and appropriate Individualized Education Programs. Those programs are developed with input from parents, education experts and school administrators, all striving to ensure that every

IEP is personalized and ambitious.” Attorney Jeffrey L. Fisher, arguing on behalf of the student and his family, said the standard schools must meet to educate students with disabilities is set too low. “The IDEA does not permit a school district to provide a child with a disability a (minimal) educational benefit,” Fisher said, according to the official transcript of the oral arguments. “Rather, what the act requires is for the school to provide instruction and related services to the child that are reasonably calculated to provide substantially equal educational opportunities.” Attorney Neal K. Katyal, arguing on behalf of the school district, made the case that the district did provide an appropriate amount of resources and accountability in educating students with disabilities. The student involved is identified only as Endrew F. in court documents. He attended Summit View Elementary in Highlands Ranch. The suit was filed through his parents, identified only as Joseph F. and Jennifer F. in court documents. The attorney for the family is listed as Jack D. Robinson, with Spies, Powers and Robinson, P.C., of Denver. Robinson said the case would prove that the standard of a “free appropriate public education” is set too low, and that students with disabilities deserve a meaningful education.

Higher-education campus finds location in Castle Rock Colorado State University, ACC and Douglas County School District partner on project STAFF REPORT

A new collaborative education venture among Colorado State University, Arapahoe Community College and the Douglas County School District has found a home. Arapahoe Community College has accepted an investment of $3 million from the Town of Castle Rock in infrastructure reimbursement to construct a collaboration campus, according to a Jan. 10 news release. ACC will build a $40 million campus on a 14-acre site in The Meadows community, the release states. The two-phase project will consist of two buildings of 54,000 square feet each, with an estimated opening of phase one in the fall of 2019. “This addition to Castle Rock will offer residents, from high school through career professionals and retirees, options for higher and continuing education, with involvement from businesses and our community,” Mayor Jennifer Green said. The campus will be on private property, currently vacant and designated for development, north of Castle Rock Adventist Hospital and east of Meadows Boulevard. The collaboration aims to create an

educational environment that will provide local high school students with a chance for concurrent enrollment for college credit, as well as further higher education for adults. Initial educational offerings will be in the areas of business/entrepreneurship, health care, information technology/programming, general education and workforce training. ACC will provide the infrastructure by leasing space to partners CSU and the school district. “ACC is very excited to expand our presence in Castle Rock to serve the community through this very unique educational partnership,” Diana Doyle, president of ACC, said in the news release. “The collaboration campus will be a dynamic model for progressive educational delivery at all levels. We greatly appreciate the town’s commitment and look forward to playing an integral role in the community’s continued development.” The $3 million from the town will assist ACC — which has campuses in Littleton, Parker and Castle Rock — with building permits and fees, and land-site improvements. Kathay Rennels, associate vice president for engagement at CSU, told Colorado Community Media in November that it is the first collaboration of its kind in the state. She said Castle Rock, with a population of about 60,000, has been targeted for the campus because of its growing population and accessibility from other areas along I-25. “The collaboration campus will allow DCSD students to continue

A COMMUNITY HUB Leased space on the new collaboration campus to Arapahoe/Douglas Works, ConneXion Spot and 3-D Printing aims to create an interactive community hub that will engage students, citizens, businesses and community agencies.

ConneXion Spot is Castle Rock’s coworking community built to serve the business needs of the remote worker, independent professional and entrepreneur.

Arapahoe/Douglas Works Workforce Center is a member of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment’s statewide network of workforce centers, which provide a variety of no-cost services to job seekers and businesses.

The 3-D Printing Store, based in unincorporated Arapahoe County near Centennial, will provide tools and classes that will be available through ConneXion Spot.

pursuing their passions – whether it is entrepreneurship, health care, information technology and more – as they move through our system and into postgraduate education,” school district Deputy Superintendent Steve Cook said in an email. “DCSD has always appreciated our strong partnership with Arapahoe Community College, which has afforded numerous concurrent enrollment courses to our students and families. Expanding on this partnership, and including Colorado State University, we together will provide even more opportunities for our students in the future.” Frank Gray, CEO of Castle Rock’s Economic Development Council, said the campus is likely to help the town draw new businesses. “This is big for our sustainable future as a stand-alone community,” Gray said in the news release. “This educational infrastructure is another step in our strategic plan to create

a great environment and workforce pipeline for the attraction and retention of primary employers. “We know that access to an educated workforce and ongoing training are critical to a long-term sustainable and vibrant community.” A student enrolled in the new program would have the opportunity to move directly through high school, to the community college level and eventually graduate with a degree from CSU without ever leaving Douglas County. “Attracting higher education has been a vital part of our business infrastructure plan in Castle Rock,” said Matt Call, chairman of the board for the Castle Rock EDC. “The collaboration campus is a huge win for our entire community. Quite honestly, I’m excited as a citizen with schoolage kids and the opportunity to significantly bring down the cost of higher education for my kids and my neighbors.”

Castle Rock invests in new electronic traffic signs BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock is hoping to make the morning commute easier for travelers along westbound Plum Creek Parkway. The town’s first-ever electronic traffic signs — a $200,000 investment from the town’s transportation fund — are now located near the northbound Interstate 25 on-ramp on Plum Creek Parkway. “During the morning rush hour, the commuter traffic headed north to Denver from east Castle Rock stacks up in the right westbound lane, starting as far back as Perry,” said Ryan Germeroth, Transportation Planning and Traffic Engineering manager. The backup also creates congestion in the right lane on approaches to Perry Street, Wilcox Street and I-25, he said. As a fix, the new signs will change the flow off traffic based on the time of day. Arrows will designate if a lane is a through lane, through-or-right, or right-turn only lane. For most of the day, lane designations will remain as they have been, but they will change for the 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. morning rush. During that time, the westbound right-hand lane will become a rightturn-only lane and the westbound middle lane will become a through-orright turn lane.

Germeroth said the town balanced many factors before choosing the electronic system, and although it was the only technology-based option, construction was also considered. “For example, we considered constructing a dedicated right-turn lane,” he said, which would interfere with any plans by the Colorado Department of Transportation to add a third leftturn lane for southbound I-25 travelers turning onto Plum Creek Parkway. “The new traffic management system allows change of lanes by time of day rather than a permanent change,” he said. “Additionally, the new technology is less expensive than new construction.” The town will monitor the signs during their first year running. The signs were first tested by town engineers in a shop and then live-tested on the street beginning Jan. 9. In the coming months, Germeroth said, they will monitor drivers’ understanding and compliance with the signs and to see if traffic balances out. They’ll also watch for any changes in the number of traffic accidents associated with congestion, such as sideswipes and rear-end collisions, between Perry Street and I-25 “The hope,” he said, “is that reduced crash rates will occur with the anticipated reduction in congestion.”

DEVICE WILL ASSIST PEDESTRIANS IN THE MEADOWS The Meadows will be getting its own dose of technology-based traffic gadgets. The town will soon install a new device to help pedestrians safely cross Meadows Boulevard. A “Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon” will be located along Meadows Boulevard east of Low Meadow Boulevard. The beacon is a rapidly flashing yellow light on crosswalk signs, activated when pedestrians push a button. The goal is to alert drivers that

someone is at the crosswalk and lower the risk of pedestrian-vehicle crashes. Ahead of the crosswalk, drivers will be warned by pavement markings and signs. The location was chosen because of development in the area, including the already-open Taft House pool, plus future residential developments and trail connections. There will be more beacons to come throughout 2017, a town news release said.

A running start: Castle Rock group looking to expand Year-old club provides network for mothers and other women BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock’s local chapter of Moms/She Run This Town, a nationwide club that unites women and runners who are mothers, is looking to revamp in 2017. The club celebrated its one-year anniversary on Jan. 16. In that first year, founders Tracy Manning and Monica Kopp saw a network of nearly 300 women amass through their Facebook page. There, group members share tips for marathon training, talk about new or upcoming races, meet new running partners and encourage each other to complete monthly exercise challenges, like planks or squats. “People were super excited to hear about us out of the gate,” Manning said. They also saw women of all fitness levels come together for group runs, something they say provides a mix of accountability, support and encouragement. “I have to have somebody guilt me into a run,” group member Valerie Jones said with a laugh. To her, the group provides motivation and accountability. Manning and Kopp say they try to facilitate all types of runners. While they usually run through parks, such as the downtown Festival Park, Kopp will sometimes lead women on trail runs, for those who prefer non-pave-

Martilyn Neilsen and Valerie Jones lead a group of Moms/She Runs This Town members on a recent Saturday morning run through Festival Park in Castle Rock. JESSICA GIBBS ment trails. They also take time to stretch and talk before a run, so women can match up based on how far they’d like to run and at what speed. Martilyn Neilsen, who led a group of five women on Jan. 14 run, said she relies on the flow of information through the Facebook page — whether that means finding good doctors or the next big race, which can be difficult to search online. “I like that you can ask questions,” she said.

She also appreciates the support. Neilsen, a marathon runner, is able to find running partners for her races through the group. “That’s nice, that you don’t have to run by yourself,” she said. In the New Year, Manning and Kopp hope resolutions will inspire more women to join and push current members to become more active. But the two women have some New Year’s resolutions of their own. “I want to get back to being consistent,” Manning said of group runs.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Lora Thomas put her hand on her grandmother’s Bible before a crowded room at the Philip S. Miller Building in Castle Rock. Thomas’ granddaughter, 4-year-old Amidei Thomas, held the Bible. Thomas, the new county commissioner for Douglas County’s District 3, which encompasses Highlands Ranch, was sworn into office on Jan. 10. She fills the seat of term-limited Jill Repella. “I’d like to thank the people who made this possible,” Thomas said, acknowledging her family, friends and dozens of people that filled the room. Thomas, a Highlands Ranch

resident and the former county coroner, said she sent out 175 invitations to the individuals who helped with her campaign. “I’m really excited that this day is finally here,” Thomas said. “Douglas County is a great county and I want to maintain it for future generations.” On the three-member board of commissioners, Thomas will join District 1’s Dave Weaver and District 2’s Roger Partridge, who was sworn in

for his second term Jan. 10. Thomas and Partridge won election in November. Partridge was named the 2017 board chair and Weaver is the board vice chair. Weaver, the former Douglas County sheriff, said Thomas brings a great perspective having served for 26 years with the Colorado State Patrol. “I’m sure she has great opinions to bring to the board on furthering Douglas County,” Weaver said.

And, they said, they hope to gather more members to join their welcoming community of runners. “There’s no intimidation,” Manning said. “That’s the whole reason of the group.”

Castle Rock prepares to review pit bull ban

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Just ahead of Castle Rock’s plan to review its 25-year-old ordinance banning pit bulls, along with the animal code as a whole, complexities around banned animal breeds that are sometimes deemed emotional support animals have come to light, authorities say. The question arose when officers cited a resident of Castle Rock’s Red Hawk Townhomes who failed to relocate their pit bull after having received warnings from authorities. Police enforce the town’s pit bull ban with diligence, but also compassion, Chief of Police Jack Cauley said. If an illegal dog is discovered, authorities issue a warning and allow the owner time to

THE LOCAL CASE Castle Rock Chief of Police Jack Cauley said the case of the Red Hawk Townhomes pit bull didn’t follow a normal timeline. Authorities typically allow the owner of an illegal pit bull time to relocate the animal, which usually works, he said. And that’s what they did after learning in July that Tyler MorrillCampagna was housing a pit bull in his Red Hawk townhome. Morrill-Campagna could not be reached for comment, but Cauley

said the resident promised to relocate the dog. When that failed to happen, officers cited him for the animal. It was then that MorrillCampagna informed them the dog was an emotional support animal, Cauley said. At that point, the decision on whether he could keep the animal was turned over to the judicial system, Cauley said. Morrill-Campagna’s next municipal court date is scheduled for Feb. 1. — Jessica Gibbs

relocate the animal, he said, which takes “a little bit of time.” Most violators say they were unaware of the ban. “It almost always works,” Cauley said. In the Red Hawk townhomes case, the individual’s noncom-

pliance eventually warranted stricter action. But upon being cited, the resident informed officers the dog was an emotional support animal. In Cauley’s words, that created “another level of complexity.”

“I’ve been here for five years,” Cauley said. “This is the first time an emotional support animal has come in to play in an animal violation situation.”

A town ordinance created in 1992 says, “It shall be unlawful for any person to own, possess, SEE PIT BULL, P9

It is your duty (dooty)!

Picking up after your dog goes further than making your neighbors happy. When you are out walking your dog, it is your duty to collect their waste. Often, the trails and parks we enjoy with our dogs are adjacent to creeks and reservoirs. Dog waste that is not collected gets carried away during rainstorms to nearby waterways and can be a significant source of pollution. Unlike one might think, dog waste is not a fertilizer. Rather, it carries harmful bacteria like E. coli, which poses serious health risks if allowed to come in contact with water. Local stormwater agencies are teaming together to bring you this message. We take this so seriously that we posted this ad rather than send you more garbage in the mail. One thing is clear: our creeks, rivers and lakes depend on you.

keep, exercise control over, maintain, harbor, transport or sell within the town any pit bull.” At the time this ordinance was created, Cauley said, emotional support animals were a less common concept. Maggie Sims, spokeswoman for the Rocky Mountain ADA Center, said the ADA defines an “emotional support animal” as any type of animal that’s sole purpose is to make the owner “feel better.” Emotional-support animals are different from service animals, which are often dogs with very specific training. An example would be a guide dog for the blind, she said. Jennifer McPherson, deputy director of the Colorado Civil Rights Division, said emotional support animals are protected under the Fair Housing Act. Individuals with conditions such as depression can keep an emotional support animal in their residency regardless of any breed-specific bans at the local level. “This would not apply to taking your dog to King Soopers or the library or a place of public accommodations,” McPherson said. Individuals are not required to provide any certification proving the animal is for emotional support, she said, but a housing provider can request verification that accommodation for a disability is necessary. Cauley said that with no official reports of aggression by the pit bull,

animal control did not impound the dog while the town’s legal department began researching the animal code, including emotional support animals, Cauley said. A neighboring Red Hawk resident, Michael Forti, addressed town council about the issue on Jan. 3. Forti, who supports the ban, expressed frustration that his neighbor’s dog had not yet been removed — authorities were first notified about the violation in July. As a survivor of a pit bull attack, he said, he considers the breed dangerous. The Red Hawk pit bull owner, Tyler Morrill-Campagna, could not be reached for comment, but next-door neighbor Julie Gould said they mostly keep to themselves. The dog has not been aggressive, she said, or left its yard. “I haven’t actually even seen it for at least a month,” she said, wondering if her neighbors had removed it. Gould said she would not mind the dog’s presence if there weren’t a local ban on the breed. Town Attorney Bob Slentz told town council Jan. 3 that for the past six months police and the legal department have reviewed the town’s animal code. “That will be coming to council in 2017,” Slentz said. “One of the issues will be: Should we retain a breed specific ban or should it be more related to specific traits of the animal?” Cauley said that review will also include how emotional support animals fit into the ordinance. Council and the public can weigh in on the animal code, “hopefully in the next three or four months,” Slentz said.

Look for your inner calm during stressful times both large and small WINNING WORDS

ometimes the tiniest of incidents can throw us into a tirade or tantrum. We get so blinded by the perceived crisis of the moment and situation we lose our minds, our tempers can quickly flare, and we fly off the handle and do or say things we will probably regret later. Have you ever been there? Me too. Now I don’t know about you personally, but sometimes it is the smallest of changes or accidents that occur where we see people just lose it. Yet those very same people when faced with an enormous crisis or challenge seem amazingly calm during the battle or height of the storm. You may know this type of person, you may live with them or work with them. This master of

remaining calm in the face of a critical situation or massive adversity may be you. So how can we develop an attitude and a technique that will help us to slow down or stop in the face of any trouble or problem, large or small, and gain control of our thoughts, words and actions before they take control of us? When I have spoken with some people who have mastered the art of finding calm in the fiercest of battles or crisis, and when I have witnessed such amazing grace and thoughtfulness in challenging times, there was a common denominator, a total lack of panic or worry. Instead, I heard stories of courage and an attitude of thinking about the bigger picture. I would see people looking and listening more than talking and screaming. The people

who amaze me the most are those who are in the middle of one of life’s biggest storms or tragedies and surrounded by others who are screaming, yelling, cursing and scrambling around without direction, and yet these amazing people can observe, understand the full impact, take control in a very calm and confident manner. As a matter of fact, instead of screaming or cursing, they even speak a little more softly. There is no doubt we all get faced with little accidents and incidents that can quickly get under our skin or annoy us to the point of anger and frustration.

Energy was one of the best performers in 2016 after hitting bottom in February and rebounding 25 percent. Financials soared on hopes of less regulation and higher interest rates. The health care sector fell into negative territory. Europe did not participate in our euphoria and China devalued their currency to keep up with our rising interest rates.

A cartoonist named Hirschfeld always used to hide his daughter’s name in his brilliant and complex line drawings. Nina. There is someone named Nina living in the area who is nearly hidden. That’s because she wears a mask most of the time. At least at work. The day we met, she asked me through her mask if I knew a particular artist. I mumbled something, because my mouth was numb, and full of gauze and an apparatus that was keeping it dry. Nina is a dental assistant. My dentists — there are three of them in the same offices — have about 18 assistants. There’s one to greet you by name when you walk in. There’s one to walk you to The Chair. One to numb you into subordination. One to wipe your drool away. The others, all beautiful young women, are doing the same things for other patients. As a composition, they are a gathering of Novocain Angels. My childhood dentists never used Novocain. I inherited teeth that needed constant attention.

considered a massive challenge or enormous storm of life. And in either case, it is not what happens to us or around us, it is how we respond to what is happening to us or around us. When we “lose it,” regardless of the situation, our reputation becomes damaged. And not just the way others see us, it’s that regret I spoke of earlier and how we see ourselves, how we look at our own diminishing reputation or character. You know the saying and maybe even the book, “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff … And It’s All Small Stuff.” Well it’s true. The next time the dog ac-

cidentally knocks over a cup of coffee, or your child mistakenly deletes a document on your laptop, or someone bumps into you in the grocery store, just remember to stop, slow down and realize it really is just small stuff and your reputation and your character are better than that, you are better than that. Fight the impulse and urge to react, and instead respond with calm and grace. And as far as those big, huge, enormous battles and storms of life go, the same rules apply. Remember to apply the attitude that panic is your worst enemy, nothing is ever as bad as it seems, and all will be well. Yes, even with the new presidentelect, and regardless of who we all voted for, the enormity of the situation calls for us to

continue through 2017. Many investors wanted to be on the sidelines after a negative October and the pending election and have not found a good entry point since. Meanwhile fixed incomeinvestors are seeing dwindling values in their bond portfolios as yields rise and share prices fall. This interest rate phenomenon spread to other sectors also, such as real estate investment trusts and anything valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. So 2016 was a very mixed bag depending on when and where you were invested. While the best performance was in domestic large company manufacturing, industrial and financial stocks, most other sectors were average at best. The valuations became very rich as stock prices were pushed higher in anticipation of better earnings going forward. In the new year, we are faced with many challenges. These include rich stock valuations, diminishing bond prices, growing debt issues in greater Europe, and currency and trade issues with Asia and Mexico. There remains hope that the economy will grow, unemployment will remain low and interest rate hikes will be gradual enough not to disturb progress. If taxes are cut and health care expenses are reeled in, then the consumer can benefit through savings. Wages will likely rise along with some inflation. Research analysts are predicting an average year in equity returns, with

remain calm, live, act and work with grace and control. There is no place for overreacting or overreaching when it comes to finding a solution. It is our job to respond in the best way possible to become and to be a part of the solution. Remember that eight years ago we elected our first African-American president. There were many who supported him and many who were upset with his winning the election. But in the end, and throughout his presidency, whether we voted for him or not, we were still one country and we supported each other. Even though many threatened it, no one actually ever moved to Canada or any other country for that matter. This year we almost voted into office the first woman to

lower bond prices and struggles with a very strong dollar and pressures on banks in Europe. However, sentiment is high and the momentum of positive returns has carried over despite a few down days in early January. Wise investors will watch for opportunities in sector rotation and be careful not to assume last year’s winners will repeat. For example, health care went from the worst performer last year to one of the best so far this year. Energy also switched places along with banks. Watch the elections in Italy, France, Holland and Germany. Europe is either voting for or against austerity and the survival of the EU (European Union). How the European Central Bank can support countries swimming in debt remains to be seen. Consumers will need patience as we wait to see how changes unfold. It will be virtually impossible to tackle all the campaign promises in the first quarter. We don’t see recession in the near term, but any surprise worldwide could easily pull back a record high stock market. The vigilant, patient investor can reap good rewards despite several underperforming and perhaps overpriced sectors. Fixed income holders will be challenged to stay positive and keep up with inflation. Creating a solid long-term plan with tactical exposure through dynamic allocation will be crucial as we navigate 2017.

But had she won, we would have all come together once again. And now, regardless of who you voted for, we have elected the first businessman into office. Some are scared, some are overreacting and overreaching, but this is where calm, grace, understanding, stopping, slowing down, and an attitude of panic being our worst enemy must prevail. We are one country, and must come together and help Mr. Trump succeed. And as one Hollywood actor who opposed Trump recently stated, “If the president of the United States

Construction defects bill introduced Bipartisan measure addresses insurers’ legal costs BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Reforming Colorado’s construction defects laws in order to incentivize the building of condominiums and

townhomes has emerged as a priority for both Republicans and Democrats early in the legislative session. State Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Cañon City, and House Speaker Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, are prime sponsors of a bill tackling the issue, with cosponsorship from House Assistant Minority Leader Cole Wist,

R-Centennial, and Sen. Angela Williams, D-Denver. “This is the first step in a multi-tier process to help Coloradans attain a home of their own, and I am pleased to be a part of this critical legislation,” Wist said in a statement. Senate Bill 17-045 was introduced Jan. 11, the first day of the session, and has been assigned to the senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee. It targets insurance rates. In construction defects actions in

court in which more than one insurer has a duty to defend a party, the bill would require the court to apportion the cost of defense among all of them. Supporters of the bill say it would simplify and reduce litigation costs. “By targeting insurance rates, we’re addressing the problem without reducing consumers’ rights to protect the property that they spend their life’s savings to buy,” Duran said. SEE LEGISLATURE, P29

Q&A with state Rep. Polly Lawrence BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Polly Lawrence, R-Roxborough Park, began her third term as the state representative for House District 39 last week. The district includes Franktown, Larkspur, Roxborough Park and other areas of Douglas County, as well as Teller County. Lawrence is an Lawrence officer and board member of Lawrence Construction.

What are the two most important issues the Legislature must tackle this session? We must take a hard look at the Medicaid budget to find ways to slow the growth. Medicaid continues to grow each year, and is a budget item we can’t ignore. We need a strong safety net, but we also need to restrain the growth where possible. We also need to tackle the transportation infrastructure issues around the state. Our population continues to grow in Colorado, and we have needs in every corner of the state that have not been addressed for decades in some instances. Transportation costs us in lost time with family and at work, and affects safety.

Describe a bill you plan to sponsor that is particularly important to you. My first bill deals with the judicial branch and making sure that they are held to the same standards of transparency as the legislative and executive branches. Transparency in government should be a priority and having the judicial branch write their own rules is not how co-equal branches operate. Sunshine is the best policy — the Legislature needs to act to put the judicial branch under our CORA statute and assure the people of Colorado that all of government is working well and is held accountable.

After everything is said and done, what will constitute a successful session? I think a successful session will include strong leadership to communicate and engage people from around the state to be heard. Success in slowing the growth of Medicaid, finding the proper mix of funding to meet our transportation and infrastructure needs while addressing the regulatory burdens that continue to keep some of our small businesses from reaching their full potential are just a few of the items I see as crucial to a successful session.

Legislators target funding for transportation needs BY KRISTEN WYATT ASSOCIATED PRESS

There’s no debate — Colorado needs a big plan to pay for billions in needed highway upgrades. But that’s where agreement ended Jan. 11 as the state’s divided General Assembly began work for this year’s session. Republicans in the House and Senate gave differing takes on whether Colorado should ask voters to pass a new tax to pay for more than $8 billion in transportation projects. And Democrats are talking up different ways to pay for roads. New Republican Senate President

Kevin Grantham, of Cañon City, took the unusual step of not rejecting a tax hike. Instead, he simply asked Democrats to take a careful look at cutting other spending first. Colorado requires voters to approve tax hikes, so Grantham called it essential to sell the tax as the only possible option for improving roads. “If we are going to ask (taxpayers) for more out of their own pockets to fund these bond payments, then we must also demonstrate the commitment to reprioritize the dollars they’ve already entrusted to us,” Grantham said. That was a softer scolding than

Hickenlooper says he will defend health care access BY JAMES ANDERSON AND KRISTEN WYATT ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colorado’s health care exchange isn’t going anywhere soon. That’s the word from Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who told the state’s 100 lawmakers in his annual state of the state address Jan. 12 that he will resist any attempt to roll back the federal health care law that requires everyone to get health insurance. “I think most of us would agree that the last thing we would want is Congress making all of our decisions around health care,’’ said Hickenlooper, who has increasingly invoked a states’ rights argument — one often used by Republicans on such issues as gun rights — to defend Colorado’s health care and marijuana markets. HickenBut, Hickenlooper added, “If changes are inevitable, I will fight for a replacement plan that protects the people who are covered now and doesn’t take us backward.’’ Republicans in Congress are working to defund the Affordable Care Act enacted under President Barack Obama without having drafted a replacement. In Colorado, Republicans who control the state Senate have introduced a bill to disband Colorado’s health insurance exchange by 2019. Senate Republican Leader Chris Holbert, of Parker, told reporters after the speech that Colorado shouldn’t maintain its health care system despite national changes. “We need to watch to see what Congress does, about whether they repeal or replace the Affordable Care Act,’’ Holbert said. Republicans’ health care bill has no chance in the Democrat-led House. Still, Hickenlooper noted, “we’ll soon have a new president, and it is clear that the new administration and

Congress seek a different relationship between the federal government and the states.’’ More than 200,000 Coloradans depend on the state exchange and 1 in 5 residents is covered by Medicaid, whose costs have expanded drastically. But there are substantial inequities. Insurers have fled rural regions. Western Slope residents have just one, and they pay some of the highest premiums in the nation. Hickenlooper embraced a shared commitment by Democrats and Republicans to spend more for roads and promote housing construction in the rapidly growing state. He didn’t provide specifics on how to tackle $9 billion worth of road improvements over the next decade, but he did say the general fund was off-limits. “Voters are tired of us kicking the can down the road, because they know it’s going to land in a pothole,’’ Hickenlooper said. The governor asked lawmakers to find a way to fund public education without sacrificing other core government services. K-12 schools funding depends on the ups and downs of often-conflicting constitutional spending rules, and it competes each year with prisons, health care and transportation for funding. Hickenlooper has proposed a $28.5 billion budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. It calls on lawmakers to eliminate a $500 million deficit. The governor also: • Said he is creating an ofﬁce dedicated to getting high-speed internet to all of Colorado by 2020. “Fiber optic cables are today’s power lines for farmers, ranchers and rural small businesses,’’ he said. • Called for $6 million to help local police and prosecutors find illegal marijuana grows and prosecute those responsible. Loopholes in home grow and medical caregiver laws have allowed a black market to flourish, Hickenlooper said.

Democrats received in the House, where Republican minority leader Patrick Neville, of Castle Rock, insisted that Colorado has enough money and needs no tax increase for roads. “Revenue for transportation is something we can control without asking taxpayers for more money,” Neville said, without explaining what he’d like to cut, though schools and health care are among the biggest spenders in Colorado’s existing pocketbook. Democratic House Speaker Crisanta Duran, of Denver, suggested both parties could seek voter approval for a new tax.

Duran said in an opening-day news release that she was involved in “promising discussions” with members of both parties in both chambers to devise a comprehensive statewide plan to upgrade the transportation system. “Anyone who’s been on I-25 at rush hour, anywhere from Fort Collins to Pueblo, knows the need is real,” she said, Meanwhile, Senate Democratic leader Lucia Guzman, of Denver, repeated appeals to free up money by exempting a hospital tax from state revenues. Grantham, however, has called that idea a non-starter.

Developmental Pathways Holiday Outreach Sometimes Santa comes in disguise as he did for about 700 people with developmental disabilities or delays this year. For more than a decade, the local community centered board Developmental Pathways has held their much-anticipated Holiday Outreach program. Supported individuals and/or families in need are nominated to participate in this extraordinary program. The program nominees are asked to submit gift requests, and the generous supporters of Developmental Pathways fulfill those requests.

One parent had this to say about her encounter with Pathways’ undercover Santa: “Dear Donors, I wanted to express our overwhelming gratitude for all the donations to my family this Christmas. This has been such a tough year for me and my husband with my cancer diagnosis and treatments. We have tried to keep things as normal as possible for our kids. The gifts we received for Christmas were such a heartwarming blessing and brought so much joy to our kids. I look forward to paying all of your generosity forward once I recover and life gets back to normal. God bless you and your family.” Developmental Pathways would like to thank all the donors, volunteers, and employees that put on their elf hats for a few weeks so that hundreds of families could feel the warmth of the Christmas spirit.

Why sushi is so popular, according to local chefs

events such as the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Americans gradually gained more exposure to Japanese food, he said. SEE SUSHI, P15

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

iane Bukatman, who founded For the Love of Food cooking school in Golden, learned to make sushi in 2004 while working at a Washington, D.C., restaurant. One co-worker was a Japanese sushi chef for the restaurant, she said. Fascinated by the art, she’d spend free-time watching him craft sushi rolls. Eventually, he taught her the trade, she said. And when it comes to a fascination with sushi, Bukatman isn’t alone. In recent decades, sushi locations have sprung up left and right, making a large imprint in the U.S. restaurant market. Likewise, sushi-making classes have become popular options for date nights, birthday parties and other events. If you’ve ever wondered how sushi became popular in the U.S. or where to learn sushi-making, local restaurateurs and cooking instructors have the answers for you. For Yasu Kizaki, one of four brothers who run well-known Denver restaurant Sushi Den and sister restaurants Izakaya Den and OTOTO Den, sushi’s rise in popularity coincides with historical events. As people began to move from Japan to the U.S. after World War II, and through

Becoming a Japanese sushi chef

TYPES OF SUSHI In it’s most basic form, sushi is a dish made with vinegared rice. But there are varying types of sushi rolls more commonly featured in restaurants, including:

Nigiri Nigiri sushi is a type of sushi where slices of, typically, raw fish are laid over pressed rice. Rice is shaped in an oblong form, swabbed with wasabi and covered with seafood, although it could be other meats as well. Slicing of the fish is carefully done with a sharp knife, to avoid tearing the meat and ruining the roll’s presentation.

Maki Maki sushi means “rolled sushi.” It is usually wrapped in seaweed, or sometimes soy paper. Variations of maki sushi include rolls with rice on the outside of the seaweed paper, while other kinds have rice on the inside of the paper.

Temaki Temaki is a form of the maki roll that is commonly referred to as the “hand roll.” The roll form is similar to an ice cream cone, with the ingredients inside.

Tempura Tempura refers to a deep fried sushi roll.

There’s more to the world of modern musicals than ‘La La Land’

he way people are flipping out over Damien Chazelle’s latest film, “La La Land,” you’d think there hasn’t been a musical on screen since “Grease.” Don’t get me LINER wrong — I thoroughly enjoyed “La NOTES La Land,” and it is definitely one of the year’s best films. I certainly have no problem with all the awards it’s won already (it did a record-breaking clean sweep at the Golden Globes on Clarke Reader Jan. 8) and the ones it will no doubt win at the Oscars. My issue is that viewers and listeners have been missing out on some wonderfully innovative approaches to the genre by ignoring anything that doesn’t have immediate name recognition. I’m talking about the big screen productions of standards like “Chicago,” “Phantom of the Opera” and “Les Misérables,” or live televised versions like “The Sound of Music,” “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “The Wiz.” Just a little jaunt off the beaten path will lead to some serious musical treasure. Take the career of John Carney, the Irish writer and director behind

SUSHI FROM PAGE 14

Sushi’s appeal Dianne Morin is the founder of a Lakewood-based nonprofit, Cooking Experience Club. For the past 17 years, she has run cooking summer camps for local children and given cooking classes for events, private parties and families. In the past four years, Morin said, “sushi-making has been pretty popular.” She credits the popularity of sushi to its healthy nature. “I think a lot of it is because it’s a lighter meal,” she said. Sushi is not as dense as a mashed

2007’s indie breakout, “Once.” That story went on to be a Tony-winning Broadway musical, and Carney followed it with “Begin Again” in 2013 and this year’s “Sing Street,” which was nominated for Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy, alongside “La La Land.” “Sing Street” might be Carney’s most delightful film yet, and Ferdia Walsh-Peelo turns in a memorable debut performance as Conor, a young teenager in 1985 Dublin who starts a band to impress Raphina (Lucy Boynton), a model he meets outside of his school. Carney makes rock musicals instead of the traditional songbook approach, and all of his films feature protagonists drunk on the power of music and love. Just like any other musical you’d think of, the characters often randomly break out into song. But because all three films focus on musicians, it’s a bit more believable when they do so. And Carney works with skilled musicians like Glen Hansard and Adam Levine, so you’re getting tunes you’ll actually hear on the radio. I hope Carney someday gets the audience he deserves. In the television realm, about the only musical you’re going to find is The CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” which is just as well, because I have difficulty imagining any other topping it — with the possible exceppotatoes-and-meat type meal, she said, and sushi rolls look appealing to consumers. “Just the whole concept of, `I can look at this and it looks pretty healthy,’ ” she said. It’s also easy to personalize, she said, which is something that comes across in her classes. For those leery of raw fish, she will demonstrate how to substitute in vegetables or smoked salmon. And there are dessert options, Morin said. Sushi-makers can incorporate fresh fruit or coconut for a sweeter taste. Kizaki said sushi truly gained momentum in the 1990s. The California roll — which typically contains cucumber, crab meat and avocado — provided Westerners a steppingstone

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: The xx’s “I See You” released on Young Turks. Review: As swooningly romantic as ever, The xx takes the insular sounds that made their first two records quiet hits, and adds some cinematic grandeur. Producer Jamie xx has expanded the group’s sonic palette, and songs like “Dangerous” and “On Hold” breathe beautifully in the new spaces. But don’t worry, singers

Sometimes, bigger really is better. Favorite song: “Lips” Lyrics that double as The xx’s guiding philosophy: “I’ve been a romantic for so long/All I’ve ever heard are love songs.”

tion of “Galavant,” which ABC canceled last year. “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” is the brain child of Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna, and stars Bloom as Rebecca Bunch, a New York lawyer who moves to West Covina, California, to be closer to her high school crush (don’t worry — there’s a lot more nuance than that). The show features a hilarious and truly empathetic cast and approach to story. But top-notch songwriting really sets it apart. The songs spoof everything from Broadway song-and-dance numbers to torch songs, boy band pop and Alanis Morissette grunge. Check out some of the song names from the first season: “Settle For Me,” “I’m in a Sexy French Depression” and “After Everything I’ve Done For You (That You Didn’t Ask For).”

The show manages to create frighteningly accurate explorations of self-confidence and self-worth, romantic obsession and dynamic friendships, while writing songs like the second season’s standout, “It Was a Sh*t Show.” If “La La Land” really is creating a renewed interest in musicals, then there’s already plenty out there for fans to dig into. Get started.

said, also noting they are some of her most popular options. Customers eat as they go and take home nearly $60 worth of sushi supplies. Kizaki and his brothers offer regular sushi-making classes through their restaurants. He said they began the tradition as a way to broaden their customers’ horizons. “Food is an introduction of Japanese culture,” he said. “When I do a class I talk about Japanese culture.” Talking culture was a way to make the classes entertaining for those who are simply there to have fun, he said. But in Kizaki’s perspective, if you want to learn serious sushi-making, go to Japan. “Then,” he said, “you learn the skill from a pro.”

Learning the craft Bukatman said becoming a master sushi chef takes years, but learning for fun is quick and easy. She advises people to work with very sharp knives and know when to use water. You need dry hands when working with seaweed paper but wet when working the rice. “The trickiest part is learning to make the rice properly,” she said. Adding too much water melts the grains into a glue-like mixture. Bukatman started her sushi-making classes around 12 years ago, she

‘Beauty and the Beast’ brings magic to Parker PACE Center will host musical that has enchanted audiences

IF YOU GO “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” plays Jan. 20 to Feb. 12 at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. There are some single tickets remaining. Call 303-805-6800, parkerarts.org.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Once upon a time, in 1740, a French writer, Gabrielle Suzanne Barbot de Ville, published a story about a beautiful young woman and a man who had been transformed into a beast by an evil fairy … It was based on a folk tale that had been in circulation for about 400 years and has been retold in various versions since the 1700s — more recently by the American Walt Disney Company, which produced an animated film in 1991 and converted it to a hugely successful Broadway musical in 1994, complete with a singing teapot and cabinet ...

When Gary Lewis, artistic director of Inspire Creative, the in-house producing company at Parker’s PACE Center, met with the PACE producing manager to choose the season’s musical productions, they were finally able to select “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” after trying for three years to get the rights, Lewis said. And they were right on target for their local audience. Despite the addition of two more performances on Thursday evenings, tickets are “97-98 percent sold,” the director said. Rehearsals have been going for

almost eight (holiday-interrupted) weeks for the production, which runs Jan. 20-Feb. 12. It is directed by Lewis and stars Shelby Brienzo of Parker as Belle and Matt Wessel of Highlands Ranch as Beast. Both have appeared at PACE before — Brienzo is in her fourth production and Wessel said he has been in over a dozen shows since 2010. All three also have day jobs, but, as Lewis said, theater is “the passion side of life.” Lewis is an RN by training and has recently “switched to the IT world.” He’s especially fond of the French fairy tale because of its concept of learning to care about people, he said. “It needs to be heard!” Wessell, who lives in Highlands Ranch with his wife, Bethany, and three children, is creative director for a telecom company. He also contributes to Inspire Creative by managing the company’s website and community outreach. The

Beast is one of his dream roles — “it tops them all!” Brienzo, who has married recently, graduated from Legend High School and attended University of Northern Colorado for two years. She is a mortgage loan processor by day for DHI and is finishing up her degree, she says. She is also part of Wands and Wishes, a group that appears at little girls’ birthday parties. “She gets paid to be a princess,” Wessel joked. Both stars speak of auditioning for the upcoming “Hairspray,” at PACE, but Brienzo may have to back off, since she is building a house in Parker. (Auditions are open to the community.) The first rehearsal with a full orchestra was coming up soon after we talked with them on Jan. 10. They have been working with a recorded rehearsal score supplied with the script. After “tech week” comes opening night on Jan. 20.

Valentine’s Keith Jackson plays the elusive Wiz in the urban musical called “The Wiz” at the Aurora Fox, through Jan. 29. It is produced with an all-black cast by Ignite Theatre Company. COURTESY PHOTO

‘The Wiz’ is exciting adaptation of ‘Oz’ tale Ignite Theatre calling it quits after production at Aurora Fox BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When “The Wiz” first appeared on Broadway in 1975, it won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and was an early example of Broadway’s musicals appearing with an all-black cast. It’s a big, far-fetched, colorful show that does indeed take us to see the Wizard at the end of that Yellow Brick Road, but the folks along the way give the story a different spin. Witches have distinct personalities and memorable costumes. They appear on a city-ish junkyard sort of set, cleverly constructed around a pair of thrones as the show is stages at the Aurora Fox Arts Center. Projection, designed by co-director Amy Osatinski, carries the audience into the scene by flying over cornfields and landing at Aunt Em’s farm, as word of an impending storm sends folks scrambling for shelter. The tornado is depicted by a nicely choreographed troupe of swirling dancers and Dorothy finds herself in a field, amidst munchkins celebrating the demise of the Wicked Witch of the East, whose silver sneakers stick out beneath the Kansas farmhouse that flattened her. With L. Frank Baum’s timeless tale reset in black culture, the music becomes funky soul, gospel and jazz/ blues — all backed by a great, brassy 10-piece live band conducted by Brandon Bill. Choreographer Carlos Jimenez has a fine score by musical prodigy Charlie Smalls (Juilliard at

IF YOU GO “THE WIZ” fplays through Jan. 29 at the Aurora Fox Arts Center, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora. Directors are Keith Rabin Jr. and Amy Osatinski. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $28/$26/$20, ignitetheatre.com, 855-811-4111. 11) to work with and dancers of varying sizes, shapes and skills. Oz fans will enjoy the musical’s take on the story’s characters: a hip Tin Man, a gospel-singing Wicked Witch of the West, citified crows and a wizard who phases into a bit of AfricanAmerican-style preaching. Another week of rehearsal might have added a bit more polish, but the production did send the audience out smiling … … Except for the sad announcement that this is the last production the community will see from Ignite Theatre Company. Producer Will Adams said in a press release that the decision was made as Ignite prepared its 31st musical production after a run of eight years. The show was cast, then delayed from the projected summer production dates due to venue scheduling problems, and Adams and co-founder/artistic director Keith Rabin Jr. and the company board voted to call it quits. They will leave the parent Lucent Performing Arts structure in place in case someone else wants to pick up the banner. Adams made the point that it was not a financial issue, but the demand on time and energy for the principal founders/ supporters and lack of a home stage that drove the decision. Changes at the Aurora Fox, where they have performed for the past eight years, contributed to the decision to cease operations.

She ‘left our department much better than she found it’ Cheryl Poage retires after 41 years of working toward safety and fire protection BY CASEY VAN DIVIER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The memory is as vivid today as it was 41 years ago: As Cheryl Poage pulled her daughter, not quite a year old, out of her high chair, the baby flipped over Poage’s hand, landed on her head and stopped breathing. Poage immediately called an emergency number at the Parker Fire Protection District, but no one answered. At the time, volunteers in their homes answered those calls. But some calls — like Poage’s — would slip through the cracks. “I got my daughter breathing again,” she recalled, “but I was so upset about that incident.” Poage told her story to Parker Fire Protection District officials and just months later, in September 1975, volunteers were answering phones in an office instead of their homes. “They needed people to volunteer to answer the phones,” Poage said. “And they said, ‘We’ve done this, now you have to volunteer.’ And that’s how I got started.” On Dec. 31, Poage, 69, retired from

Cheryl Poage, who retired after 41 years with South Metro Fire Rescue and the former Parker Fire Protection District, gives a demonstration at a department event at Landmark properties at Belleview and Interstate-25. COURTESY PHOTO a 41-year career with the fire department, now South Metro Fire Rescue. What started with answering phones led to a series of jobs and the creation of safety programs statewide and nationally. “She has truly touched more lives than we could possibly count,” Kevin Milan, assistant chief of preparedness for SMFR, wrote in an email to the department. “She has mentored many,

and leaves our department much better than she found it.” Poage worked as a volunteer firefighter and dispatcher until 1991, when she was hired to work both positions full time. She has been part of countless safety efforts, including a car seat safety program, legislation to put AEDs into schools and License to Survive, a crash avoidance seminar for parents and teenagers.

Her work through the fire department and the Life Safety Foundation, which works with SMFR to analyze statistics to reduce risks to the community, has been “without equal,” Milan said. At the national level, Poage developed a youth fire-setter intervention program with the National Fire Academy. The program works with youths who have been involved with setting a fire and assesses the risk of their repeating the behavior. “We certainly have become more of a national leader because of her influence,” Milan said. “She’ll be missed, but her influence will live on through the programs she created.” Poage has no plans to slow down. “I will miss working with my peers at SMFR,” said Poage, “but I’m looking forward to working on new goals, more family time and travel.” Included on her long to-do list is to earn a doctorate in Educational/ Instructional Technologies from the University of Wyoming, continue to work with SMFR from time to time, build a cabin, go scuba diving with her granddaughters and run for mayor — again — in the next election cycle. She unsuccessfully ran against incumbent Mayor Mike Waid in November. “We’ve asked her to be available to help us with our youth fire-setter program, and also with the Life Safety Foundation,” Milan said. “We’ll certainly keep her phone number handy.”

Golden to welcome beer, music and Norse god Ullr Third annual UllrGrass festival takes place Jan. 27-29

FUN FACTS ON ULLRGRASS UllrGrass is a not-for-profit event run by volunteers. Proceeds benefit the Coral Creek Music Project, which focuses on developing local musicians and music organizations, along with providing music performance and instructional opportunities for children.

STAFF REPORT

The third annual UllrGrass music and beer festival will take place Jan. 27-29 at various venues in Golden. This year’s Ullrgrass festival will feature more than 20 live musical performances of bluegrass and similar genres such as jam bands and blues and rock. Attendees can also enjoy food and artisan vendors, musician workshops and family activities such as arts and crafts, slack-lining and dance and costume contests. The performance lineup and festival schedule is available online. Parfet Park, located at 10th Street and Washington Avenue, will be the primary festival location. Bands will perform throughout the afternoon all three days of the festival. Evening performances on Jan. 27 and 28 will take place at the Buffalo Rose Ballroom, 1119 Washington Ave. The American Mountaineering Center, 710 10th St., which is across the street from Parfet Park, will host the UllrGrass Campground, a hangout for festival-goers where the String Band Showcase and other festival workshops will take place.

Many beliefs surround the Norse god Ullr. He has been called the god of snow, winter and/or skiing, while others consider him a god of archery and hunting. Often depicted on skis or skates holding a bow and arrow, it is thought that if a person prays or gives him an offering, Ullr may protect that person when skiing or hiking in the snow. Golden’s UllrGrass festival is designed to embrace winter, the outdoors and celebrate cold weather. The festival will go on snow or shine, so weather-appropriate attire is a must. People are welcome to wear ski gear and especially encouraged to come decked out in Viking helmets, drinking horns and leather chest plates. Coral Creek is just one of the approximate 20 bands performing at this year’s UllrGrass music and beer festival, which will take place at various venues in downtown Golden Jan. 27-29. COURTESY PHOTO The Ullrgrass Beer Festival will be 1-4 p.m. Jan. 28 in Parfet Park. Attendees can enjoy bottomless craft beer samplings from notable Colorado craft brewers and cideries. This year will also offer the inaugural UllrGrass

Wine and Spirits Festival, which will take 1-3 p.m., Jan. 29, in Parfet Park. Tickets for the music festival can be purchased as a weekend pass or single-day pass. VIP tickets are also available. Beer festival tickets can be

purchased as a supplement ticket, as a package with a weekend pass or Saturday single-day ticket, or for the beer festival only. All ticket purchase options are available online or as a cash-only transaction at the Buffalo Rose. To learn more, visit www.ullrgrass. com.

t was awhile ago that Tom Robinson had to make quick, steadfast decisions while coaching the Regis Jesuit boys basketball team. Robinson was OVERTIME tasked with making more astute decisions as the replay official at the NCAA national championship football game between Clemson and Alabama on Jan. 9 “What a special honor it was,” said Jim Benton Robinson after he was selected as the Big 12 Conference replay official to work the game. “It was a responsibility for a game of that magnitude. During the game it wasn’t on my mind that I was holding the attention of the nation. It didn’t hit me until a little bit afterward.” Robinson, a coach and teacher at Regis for 30 years, has worked for the Colorado High School Activities Association for the past 16 years after retiring as a coach. He is currently a CHSAA associate commissioner. He’s been employed as a high school football official and an official in the Western Athletic and Mountain West conferences. As a replay official at the college level, if something looks questionable, g Robinson, 71, has to stop the game to g confirm or change the call by the ont field officials. g “If you don’t have a lot of video, you A have to piece it together,” Robinson said.e “Most of the production crew at games P knows what you need.” f There were several controversial P plays that will be debated in the title game, especially the one when Hunter n Renfrow caught a 2-yard touchdown pass with one second remaining to give o Clemson the national title. Many felt Renfrow was freed up by an M illegal pick. “There can’t be moving picks,” Rob- w inson said. “A player can’t be moving. s It can be legal, but it can be illegal if a player is moving. That play was not reviewable.” Robinson, who is the director of officials for CHSAA, will retire from the organization on June 30 but plans to keep on being a replay official for college football games.

Back to the basics Jared Yannacito was recently named the new head football coach at Golden High School and has a plan to rejuvenate the program. Yannacito takes over a program that has averaged two wins over the past seven seasons, going 14-56 since the Demons’ last winning campaign in 2009 when Golden went 7-3. SEE BENTON, P25

Huskies amid rebuilding campaign Highlands Ranch sets example for Douglas County BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County girls basketball coach Todd Dickson has set his sights high. He would eventually like to mold the Huskies into a team like Highlands Ranch, which routed the visiting Huskies 90-37 in the Continental League opener on Jan. 13. Highlands Ranch, a young team with only one senior, came into the game ranked third in the Class 5A CHSAANow.com poll and improved its overall record to 12-2. The Huskies fell to 2-11 on the season. Two of the Huskies’ losses, one of which was originally a win, were forfeits because of the use of an ineligible player. “We had a really good start,” Dickson said, referring to Douglas County jumping out to a 4-0 lead. “We have three seniors and they did a nice job of getting us set. Highlands Ranch is

Douglas County senior Sierra Stephan eyes the basket during the Continental League game against Highlands Ranch on Jan. 13. Stephan scored eight points but the Huskies turned the ball over 37 times against the aggressive Falcons defense in a 90-37 setback. JIM BENTON awful good. When we had to sub and bring some young kids in, they weren’t ready for the pressure and they wore us down. We didn’t make great decisions. “The second quarter really hurt us. The game was great for us to understand. Eventually we want to get where Highlands Ranch is. It isn’t going to happen overnight.”

Key moments Highlands Ranch forced turnover after turnover and ran off a 24-2 run to start the second period to grab a 40-13 lead and turn the game into a runaway. The Falcons’ aggressive defense forced Douglas County into 37 turnovers. Key players/statistics Tommi Olson, a 5-foot-6

junior, led four Highlands Ranch players in double figures with 18 points. Sophomore Kasey Neubert had 18 points, while sophomores Courtney Humbarger and Autumn Watts each finished with 15 points. Senior Sylar Backstrom scored 18 points for the Huskies and senior Sierra Stephan contributed 8 points.

They said it d Douglas County won 12 i games last season, the most a in seven years, but has been k forced to rebuild. t “This year we are very m young,” Dickson said. “We started a freshman g against Highlands Ranch. And we have another fresh- p man that has a concussion a and wasn’t here but she f plays a lot.” f The loss could be viewed as a learning experience for d l both teams. “It was still a fun game but it can be real frustrat- s ing,” Stephan said. “I just t try my best to stay positive. t You can learn to be a better m s leader, encouraging the girls.” “A game like this helps us grow mentally because we know now that we have to start off fast because any team can come out and match us,” Olson said. “We’re doing pretty good right now but we’re a young team and need to develop.” Going forward Highlands Ranch goes to Legend on Jan. 19 for a Continental League game while Douglas County hosts Regis Jesuit the same night.

But you get used to it,” she said. “I feel the knowledge and understanding to do flips and knowing where you are in the air that I learned in gymnastics helps me a lot as a diver.” Barker said this has been a pretty good season so far. “I have had success in meets, plus I have met a lot of new people and connected with people I knew from last year so it has been a lot of fun,” she said. Barker said she is a much better diver now than she was at this time last year. “The practice time is about the same but I think I am diving better because I have gotten used to the diving boards and now know more about how diving works,” she said. “I also feel I am diving better

“I have watched film and they have good athletes,” Yannacito said. “We’re going to start out by being perfect at the things that take no talent. We’re going to go back to the fundamentals. And we are going to ask for relentless effort in everything we do.”

LEGISLATURE FROM PAGE 12

Grantham said that while 100,000 people moved to the state last year, only 25,000 new homes were built. Reforming the law on construction defects has been a longtime priority of Republicans in the Legislature. They say the status quo prevents condos and townhomes from being built, leading to Coloradans facing the choice of either apartments or single-family homes, with no middle-price ground. Reform is also supported by several business groups, including the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. Some cities and towns — including Lakewood, Littleton and Parker — have passed ordinances addressing the issue in recent years, as legislation died at the Capitol. State Rep. Susan Beckman, R-

Littleton, has identified reforming construction defects laws as a priority of hers this session. “There is a need to greatly modify the destructive construction defects law that was passed in 2008,” the Littleton Republican told Colorado Community Media in early January. “We must ensure a market-driven economy and availability of attainable home ownership options that are not hindered by regulation and manipulation. Rep. Kevin Van Winkle, RHighlands Ranch, also says the issue is a priority. “Flawed laws from the recent past have made it impossible for homebuilders to meet market needs, especially for first-time homebuyers and downsizing seniors,” he told Colorado Community Media ahead of the session’s kickoff. “Instead of attainable housing, many Colorado families are trapped in apartments, unable to realize their housing dream.”

COURT FROM PAGE 4

meet this requirement is the individualized education program, or IEP, according to court documents. IEPs were established by the case Board of Education of the Hendrick Hudson Central School District v. Rowley in 1982, a case out of Peekskill, New York. Each IEP must be “reasonably calculated to confer an educational benefit on the child.” Katyal said DCSD offered an education that met the standard. “There’s case after case saying this is not some, you know, totally minor standard. It is the standard that Rowley set,” he said. Endrew F. was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2 and with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder a year after that, court documents say. His autism affects his cognitive functioning, language and reading skills, and his social and adaptive abilities. He attended Douglas County schools from preschool through fourth grade.

During that time, he received special-education services, including IEPs tailored to meet his unique needs, according to court documents. In August 2015, the United States 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the school district did provide a “a free appropriate public education.” “We find sufficient support in the record to affirm the findings of the administrative law judge that the child received some educational benefit while in the District’s care and that is enough to satisfy the District’s obligation to provide a free appropriate public education,” the court wrote in its ruling. “... the District did not violate the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act... and is not required to reimburse the cost of the student’s private school education.” The school district’s denial of reimbursement had been upheld in administrative court and federal district court before being affirmed in appeals court. The parents then appealed the case to the Supreme Court last year. It is not known when a ruling may be issued by the justices.

Clarkson Street, Denver, CO 80210 (James J. Petrock, Petrock & Fendel, 700 17th Street, #1800, Denver, CO 80202), APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHT, DOUGLAS COUNTY. Decree information for which change is sought: Case No. 99CW216, decreed on August 11, 2000. The property which is the subject of the decree is 72 acres located in the SW1/4 of Section 13 and the NW1/4 of Section 24, T7S, R68W of the 6th P.M. as shown on Attachment A (Subject Property). Proposed change: In the original decree, an augmentation plan was approved for the use of 35 acre-feet per year of not nontributary Denver aquifer groundwater for irrigation of a commercial tree farm. By this application, Applicant requests that the use of 7.5 acre-feet per year be changed to commercial and light industrial use, and that the remaining 27.5 acre-feet per year by changed to irrigation of a commercial tree farm, and irrigation and commercial use in a landscaping business. Applicant reserves the right to revise the uses and annual amount to be withdrawn pursuant to this change without having to amend the application or republish the same. Sewage treatment for commercial use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems or through a central sewer system, and return flow from commercial and irrigation use will be approximately 90% and 15% of that use, respectively. Light industrial use is considered to be fully consumed. During pumping Applicant will replace actual depletions to the affected stream system pursuant to Section 3790-137(9)(c), C.R.S. Pursuant to Case No. 99CW216, the actual depletion at 100 years of pumping is 3.2% of the annual amount withdrawn. Depletions occur to the Plum Creek stream systems and return flows accrue to that stream system in a sufficient amount to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. No other provisions of the original decree will be changed, including reservation of an equal amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property for replacement of post pumping depletions. Further, Applicant prays that this Court grant the application and for such other relief as seems proper in the premises. (4 pages).
