Suspects sought in school vandalism Damage caused at Englewood High could be as much as $500,000 By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com Englewood police continue the investigation and search for at least three young men who broke into Englewood High School and went on a vandalism spree, causing thousands of dollars in damage. Helen Porterfield, a recent EHS graduate stopped by the school Jan. 13. “This is just awful. I can’t imagine why someone would do all this senseless destruction,” she said. “I toured the new facility and it was wonderful. I wish the school was like that when I went here.” There wasn’t much to see on the outside of the building but crews from Servpro, a company specializing in fire and water restoration, were preparing to enter the

school to continue the cleanup. The damage was confined to the computer lab and the band room. According to the police, the break-in happened about 1:30 a.m. Jan. 12. “Our teacher and students had just moved into the area hit over Thanksgiving and then we have criminals break into our building and do extensive damage to our STEM lab and our band, orchestra and choir rooms and the auditorium,” said Brian Ewert, Englewood Schools superintendent. “The damage to the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) lab is estimated at $30,000. I was just sick when I saw all those computers and equipment smashed and when I went into the performance area and saw all those plaques and banners had been set on fire. It really hurt me.” Ewert said the district is documenting all expenses, including the cost of hiring a restoration firm to do the cleanup. He said the damage could reach $500,000. But the School continues on Page 7

Democratic state lawmakers have drafted legislation aimed at making college a little less expensive. Last week, the College Affordability Act became the first bill to be introduced in the Senate this legislative session. The bill would cap college tuition-rate increases, and would make more money available for students seeking financial aid. Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, a bill sponsor, said the legislation is about “making sure every kid who graduates in Colorado — with the skills and ability and the grades — has access to higher education.” “I really think where we’ve gone the last few years, with the incredible tuition increases that we’ve seen, is a lot of the institutions having not just priced at-risk students out, but also pricing out a lot of our middle-class students, even with getting loans and financial aid,” Kerr said. Under current law, colleges and universities can increase tuition 9 percent annually. Senate Bill 1 would cap tuition increases for undergraduate students at 6 percent. Kerr, who serves as chairman of the Senate’s Education Committee, said that state budget cuts in higher education are partly to blame for skyrocketing tuition costs in recent years. “The years that we really slashed funding to higher education are the years that tuition really increased quite a bit,” he said. In response, Kerr said it is important for colleges to understand that the 6 percent “is a cap, not a floor.” The bill would increase higher education funding by more than $100 million. That’s in addition to whatever funds are

About 125 students perform during Strings Attached concert

Members of the audience and fellow musicians expressed their appreciation with enthusiastic applause for every performance during the Jan. 12 Strings Attached recital. Strings Attached offers students the opportunity to attend after-school classes to learn to play musical instruments. The program has offered lessons in the violin, viola and cello and, this year, offered guitar and piano instruction. The entire Strings Attached student body of about 125 student musicians filled the Englewood Middle School auditorium stage to overflowing for the performance with the young piano students at keyboards on the main floor at the edge of the stage. “This is such a wonderful program and

Lawmakers may get some sleep this session Opening Day in baseball is the best time to be a Cubs fan. There’s so much promise. It’s a new season. And every team is tied for first place. It’s just too bad the Cubs have to, you know, actually play baseball. As the season goes on, fans’ frustration mounts. And by the end of year, even the diehards are tired, grumpy and over it. I recently asked a fellow Cubs fan if that reminds him of anything. “In true Cubs fan fashion, I put a post up on Facebook the other day, talking about how optimistic I was coming into the legislative session, hopeful that we are going to have an opportunity to create some good public policy for the people of Colorado,” said Rep. Mark Waller, RColorado Springs. “Like Cubs fans in years past, I’ve been very disappointed toward the end of the season. Lets hope I’m not disappointed by the end of this legislative season.” Boy Howdy, were Republicans “disappointed” over what Democrats accomplished last year: Election reform and rural renewable energy mandate increases and attempts to overhaul the school finance system. Oh, and gun control. Oh boy. Republicans may have gotten all Genghis Khan over some bills, but they promised the “Wrath of Khan” after Democrats created

legislation that led to universal background checks on gun sales and limited the amount of rounds that gun magazines can hold. So, Democrats, on the heels of their huge wins last session, must be riding high as work begins at the Capitol this year, right, Rep. Max Tyler of Lakewood? “To be honest I came into it a little grumpy.” Oh. Nevermind. “The grumpiness came from the summer, whether it was created by nature or by the battles over the recalls,” Tyler said. “It was more like a pretty difficult campaign season over the summer.” Tyler did say that the grumpiness subsided as he got back to work inside the Capitol and that he’s energized about the session. And every lawmaker will tell you that they’re optimistic and looking forward to getting back to work. But clearly the polarizing battles from last session, followed by the recall elections in the fall, still weigh in the back of

lawmakers’ minds as they start work this year. And what about all the long hours they put in last year? Floor debates and committee hearings lasted FOR-EVER. Seriously, the greatest runners in Kenya looked at last year’s legislative session and said, “I want no part of that marathon.” Lawmakers had to have woken up on the first day of the session on Jan. 8, thinking to themselves, “Am I really looking forward to another round of committee hearings that don’t end until one in the morning?” “I don’t mind the 1 a.m. mornings,” said Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont. “When you said, `Waking up on Wednesday,’ it’s like, `I went to bed?’ ” In other words, Singer was lucky to get any sleep last session. But he’ll probably get a little more rest this time. Yes, there will be fights over some old battles and there will be new and improved controversy this time around. But I don’t see this year’s session being as maddening as last year’s was. “In most sessions you’re going to get two or three meaty, weightier issues,” Waller said. “Last year, I think we saw 15. But I don’t think we’ll see that this year.” Singer doesn’t either. And he’s not surprised by what he’s hearing from leaders of both parties, as the current session gets underway: Democrats wanting to move on

from what happened last year and Republicans looking to go to battle on some of those familiar issues. “What do you expect? You expect the majority to talk about coming together and you expect the minority to underline those differences that keep us apart for the next election cycle,” Singer said. So, there will be fights and there will be old battles revisited. But it sounds like lawmakers actually may be able get home before Letterman comes on TV, at least some of the time. “Everybody said, `Yeah it was so crazy,’” said Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, who was a freshman last year. “But how do I know? I thought this is how we always do this. But the idea of not being here from 7 in the morning to 10 at night every day. Wow, it sounds really intriguing to me.” Well, that’s a good thing. Because last year was draining for everyone: Lawmakers, their families, reporters... “Who cares how draining it was for reporters?” quipped a smiling Waller. “You get no love at all.” This from the Republican Cubs fan whose team was badly beaten last year.

POLICE REPORT Armed robbery at McDonald’s

Employees at the McDonalds at the corner of Belleview and Broadway called police about 2:50 a.m. Jan. 5 following a robbery at the fast food eatery. According to the report, a customer placed an order at the drive-thru station and, when the car pulled up to the pickup window. The employee told police that, as he opened the pickup window, a man who had been crouching below the window showed a silver semi-automatic pistol and demanded the money in the cash register. The employee told police he gave the robber the money, the robber handed the money to the driver of the car and both men left in the car.

The man with the gun is described as an 18- to 25-year-old wearing a dark jacket and black ball cap. He had his face covered with a camouflage scarf. The driver of the vehicle was a white male about the same age and dressed the same way. The vehicle was described as a 90’s model red Dodge Ram truck. Police checked the area and didn’t find anyone matching the descriptions. They are still searching for suspects in the case.

Patient located

Craig Hospital called Englewood Police about 4 p.m. Jan. 7, reporting a 23-year-old man with a traumatic brain injury had been discharged at 3 p.m. but was not at the hospital when his mother

— also his caregiver — came to pick him up an hour later. Hospital officials told police the man had no short-term memory and couldn’t function on his own. Several Englewood police officers arrived and searched the area in and around the hospital but didn’t locate the man. Several agencies had been called to help with the search when, about 5:45 p.m., the man was located near his Aurora home. An Englewood officer talked with the man who said he didn’t know how he got to the area of his home nor did he remember ever being at Craig Hospital.

Garage destroyed by fire

Englewood dispatch got a call about 12:30 p.m. Jan. 7 that a garage was on fire on the 3900 block of South Acoma Street. When police officers and firefighters arrived, they reported there were smoke and flames coming from both garage entrances. Englewood firefighters put out the fire but the garage appears to be a total loss. The information released stated that a 44-year-old man living there had an air compressor that didn’t work and he apparently tried to heat the engine of the compressor with a blow torch. He reportedly left to go to an auto parts store and, when he returned home, the garage was on fire.

Cosmetology courses begin in Englewood District launches program with skin-care classes, more By Tom Munds

tmunds@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Twenty-three girls are currently enrolled for esthetician classes, making for a successful partial rollout of Englewood School District’s new cosmetology program that is being offered by the high school. Instructor Michelle Hickey said classes begin Feb. 3 and the course of study will be about caring for a client’s skin and nails. “We have a full (enrollment) for the initial classes,” Hickey said. “For those who look at this as career training, the course of study involves 600 hours of instruction. … The students will learn to do facials, chemical peels and to properly apply makeup so they can pass the state tests for the licenses they need in order to go to work in a salon.” Students pay a $220 fee to take the class, which runs through July 31. That fee covers their book, an equipment kit they get to keep and their uniforms. Hickey said all of the program instruction allows for students to meet state standards. “For example, we know that every girl in the class applies makeup,” Hickey said. “We also know we’ll have to teach them to abandon the way they apply makeup so we can teach them the way it is to be done to comply with the stringent state standards.” Students will get to use all new equipment and enjoy shiny new workstations located at Englewood Middle School, which in January 2015 will become Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School. There are separate stations for evaluating skin condition and to do manicures and pedicures. Also in the school is the area where, in the fall, students will be taught how to cut and style hair.

Instructor Michelle Hickey checks out one of the pieces of equipment that Englewood students will use when the new cosmetology program’s classes on skin care begin in February. Students can take 600 hours of instruction in skin and nail care through July to prepare to complete the state test in order to earn the license they need to go to work at a salon. Photo by Tom Munds There are more than 100 students signed up for the August cosmetology program. Hickey said there will be a class that is part of the two-year program for students to complete the requirements and pass the tests to earn their license. There will also be two other stand-alone classes, one focusing on skin care and one on nail treatment. “There is huge interest in the program,”

the instructor said. “For example, about 90 percent of the students in the February class want to take additional classes in the cosmetology program.” Hickey completed a two-year high school cosmetology program at Boulder Vocational and Technical School and received her cosmetology license in November 1999. She worked in a salon for two years be-

fore returning to her alma mater to teach cosmetology. She was at the Boulder school for five years before accepting the Englewood teaching position. “It is special to be the one to launch a new cosmetology program,” she said. “The equipment is all new and up to date plus I was able to organize everything, including the products we’ll use in class, the way I want it.”

Big changes proposed for Columbine Valley Town expects residential plan for 100-acre farm By Jennifer Smith

Having just lived through the controversial Willowcroft rezone, officials at the town of Columbine Valley are getting out ahead of the next one, which is 10 times bigger. At issue is the 103-acre Wild Plum Farm, which is basically the entire eastern onethird of town. JD McCrumb, town administrator, told the residents who gathered at Columbine Country Club on Jan. 8 that he expects a formal proposal to be on the table soon, with the emphasis on “soon.” Right now it’s an operating farm owned by the Tuck family, abutting Cooley Lake in South Platte Park. It’s currently zoned for agricultural use, but Phil Sieber, town planner, said he expects the proposal to be for a planned residential development. The town’s master plan recommends no more than one dwelling per acre, though that doesn’t translate to one-acre lots. McCrumb said the substantial flood plain and open-space requirements don’t count against the units per acre, they just shift where the units will be. He reminded the audience that the master plan is a guideline, not a law, and the board of trustees can approve higher

density if the project is considered superior, as was the case with Willowcroft. Sieber voiced what was on everyone’s mind: “The name of the game on this deal is traffic, traffic, traffic.” He said the town will break with tradition on this project by paying for the traffic study itself rather than requiring the developer to bear the cost, “so that we can be sure we get what we want out of this traffic study.” Asked whether the residents could be involved in that process, Sieber said he wouldn’t have a problem with that. “But the developer gets to have a voice, too,” he said. Access to the site is a challenge because of the lake and surrounding development, but town engineer Troy Carmann said it will be at least somewhat tied to what’s there now. There are two pasture gates along Fairway Lane, and one through Nevada Ditch on the western border. McCrumb pledged to keep residents as up to date as possible, offering everyone the chance to sign up for regular emails on the project’s progress. Once the formal application is filed and staff accepts it, a public hearing by the planning commission is scheduled for 45 days later. It passes its recommendation on to the board of trustees, which also conducts a public hearing. Assuming the trustees approve the project, construction could start 12 to 18 months later, said Sieber.

chatfield project edging closer One more hurdle to clear before heading to governor By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission unanimously accepted the Chatfield Reservoir Reallocation Project plan during its Jan. 9 meeting, sending it on next to the Colorado Water Conservation Board and ultimately to the governor. Chairman Bill Kane, while acknowledging the concerns of many citizens who addressed the board, noted the document is compliant with the law. “We have to decide if the greater good is served by approval or denial,” he said. “And

we’ve got to figure out of the perfect could potentially be the enemy of the good.” The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers authored the plan in an effort to meet the growing need for water in the metro area. It recommends reallocating 20,600 acrefeet of water from flood control to usable storage, raising the water in the recreation area by 12 feet. Water would cover more of the park, requiring reconfiguration of the marina and other amenities. “Chatfield wasn’t originally meant to be recreational,” said Commissioner Dean Wingfield. “We’re going to put a hiccup in it, but I don’t know what it’s going to look like in 20 years. I think my children and my grandchildren will see a very beautiful Chatfield.” The statewide Water Supply Initiative estimates Colorado will need between

600,000 and 1 million acre-feet annually of additional municipal and industrial water by the year 2050. “There is also a strong need for additional water supplies for the agricultural community in the South Platte Basin, as thousands of acres of previously irrigated land has not been farmed in recent years due to widespread irrigation well curtailments,” reads a Corps press release. The final report outlined three other options but concludes this is the least costly and has the most local support. It says this option would provide $8.42 million annually in economic benefits, while acknowledging there could be adverse effects on recreation and the environment that will be “mitigated to the most sustainable alternative to below a level of significance.” Communities downstream from the

Base bears Englewood high grad’s name Military renamed base after Lt. Edward Peterson By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Numerous Englewood High School graduates went into military service during World War II but only 1935 EHS graduate Lt. Edward J. Peterson has a base and museum in Colorado Springs bearing his name. Jeff Nash, assistant director of the Peterson Air and Space Museum, said Peterson —who died in a crash at the base in 1942 — was the first Colorado man to lose his life in the line of duty at the Colorado Springs Army Air Base, hence the base being named for him. Englewood Mayor Randy Penn, a 1968 EHS graduate, said the fact an Air Force base is named for an Englewood graduate is a pretty big deal. “The Edward J. Peterson story is a heck of a story and I would guess it is something many Englewood residents don’t know,” Penn said. “I didn’t know about Edward Peterson until a presentation about him at the 2013 Veteran’s Day event at EHS.” Nash said Peterson was assigned as a pilot and operations officer of the 14th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron, stationed at what was then known as the Colorado Springs Army Air Base. “As the squadron operations officer, the lieutenant was also the squadron test pilot,” Nash said. “He took an aircraft up for a test flight after an engine change in August 1942. The plane crashed and caught fire. Lt. Peterson died later that day of injuries he received in the crash.” Peterson was born in Loveland on Nov. 16, 1917. Before moving to the Denver area in 1930, he and his family also lived in Berthoud for a time. They then moved to a house on South Sherman Street in 1931 and Peterson attended Englewood Junior High School and EHS. An Eagle Scout, he helped spearhead the creation of an Order of DeMolay, an organization

According to Nash, Peterson was an athletic and academic standout, receiving all-conference recognition in both football and track for the Pirates before graduating fifth in his class in 1935. After his 1935 graduation from EHS, Peterson continued his education at the University of Denver and earned a bachelor’s degree in education in 1939, before earning his master’s degree in communications in 1940. “About 1939 or 40, Lt. Peterson became interested in aviation,” Nash said. “He enrolled in the Civilian Pilot Training Program at Walt Higley Flight School at the airport located at East 26th Avenue and Oneida Street in Denver.” Nash explained the CPTP was a government flight-training program designed to create a pool of pilots that could be called on for military service if the United States went to war. “While at flight school, he met and later married Ruth Wallrich, who was also a pilot,” Nash said. “In March 1941, Edward Peterson enlisted in the Aviation Cadet program. When he completed his military pilot training,

he was commissioned as a second lieutenant.” He went on to advanced military flight training in 1942 and, upon completion, he was promoted to first lieutenant. When he reported to Colorado Springs, Peterson was flying the F-4 which was the photoreconnaissance version of the P-38 Lightning. He was flying the F-4 when he crashed and was killed. At Peterson’s wife’s request, the lieutenant was cremated and a P-38 spread his ashes across Colorado. At the time of his death, his wife Ruth was pregnant. She gave birth to a daughter, Vickie Lee, now Vickie Huskey and a resident of Nebraska. The lieutenant’s daughter and his granddaughter visited the base and the museum in 2013 where they viewed the museum’s collection of items related to the lieutenant, including his service dress uniform and identification card. Peterson’s younger brother Maurice also attended Englewood schools before entering the military in 1943, where he trained as a navigator and served with a B-17 squadron in Europe for the remainder of the war.

dam have expressed concern that the changes will negatively impact the South Platte River as it runs through them, and the Corps acknowledges those flows are a key uncertainty. “While mitigation and modification plans have been developed … in coordination with resource agencies, there is still a level of concern that implementing a reallocation could lead to a somewhat different condition for which environmental mitigation or recreational facility modification has not been designed appropriately,” reads the study. It says the water providers are working closely with resource agencies on projects that could pick up where the mitigation efforts leave off.

opinions / yours and ours

Do you have a Goliath in your life? Almost everyone is familiar with the story of David and Goliath, the story of a young boy who defeats a mighty giant with just a sling and a stone. The young boy stood up to the giant, Goliath, when all others resisted or were afraid to face Goliath in battle. What are some of the giants or Goliaths in our own lives that we need to face up to or battle? Do you have a Goliath in your life right now? If so, please keep reading. And if not, you may want to keep reading anyway, as one day you may come face to face with your own giant. Now I am certainly no giant or Goliath, as a matter of fact I am about as average as they come, 5 feet 11 and let’s just call it about 200 pounds. I used to be an even 6 feet tall but somehow with age I have become the incredible shrinking man and lost some height and certainly some might. But the other day I was in the gym and I was walking back from the water fountain when I witnessed a group of young boys

bench pressing. They looked to be about 13-15 years old, and one of the boys had apparently just completed his max lift, his best-ever bench press. I watched as he muscled it up, struggled, almost didn’t make it, but completed the lift with one of his friends spotting him in case he couldn’t do it. When he completed the lift, he jumped up off the bench, high-fived his friends, fist-pumped, chest bumped and was higher than a kite and looking and feeling strong and proud. As I walked back towards the area I was working out in I

had to pass through a small area where they were and as I did the young boy was walking toward the water fountain and one of us had to yield to the other to allow the other person to pass through. I yielded to the mighty and proud young boy, gave him a smile and nod of approval and he walked by me with his shoulders back, chest puffed out and head held high. Again, I am no Goliath and he didn’t defeat me, but he reached a max lift bench press, a best-ever lift, and even though I didn’t know him I was proud of him. It was apparently something he was pursuing for a while and worked hard to achieve his goal. And it made me think, what is my Goliath? What is the giant in my life, even at age 52, that I need to battle and defeat? Are there things in my life that I am “gonna do?” Am I settling into a “woulda, shoulda, coulda?” kind of guy. This young boy, this young David inspired me in the gym to reach higher, try harder, and do more with my life. I know I

can still learn more, laugh more and love more. I know I can be in even better shape and I know that I can find even greater success in business. But what I have to do and what you have to do in order to achieve this level is to first identify our Goliaths, recognize what is holding us back, set our goals, and work hard to pursue the achievement of those goals. We need to defeat the giants that are keeping us from being everything that we have ever dreamed of being, doing, or having in our lives. How about you? Is there a Goliath out there? Can you be a “David?” I would love to hear all about your battles and victories at gotonorton@gmail.com and when you set out to defeat the giants in your life, it will be a better than good week.

Job opportunities increase for veterans

Pointless babble and creaky noises Over half of the United States population actively uses Facebook. Millions and millions are on MySpace, and millions and millions are on Twitter. I inactively use all of them, and I don’t tweet. I do make small, creaky noises when I walk, however. It’s my bum knee. I have this: a weekly column in eight newspapers, and I self-published a book consisting of 45 columns. Volume Two is in the works. Who do I think I am? Who do we think we are? Why do we spend so much time texting and tweeting, and transmitting our whereabouts and whatabouts? I cannot answer for anyone else. I can only conjecture. I think egos are involved. Social networking makes it possible for each of us to show off, to let the world know we are here, to rant, to seek attention. I know exactly why I write. It is very satisfying and self-validating. Just like painting. I had a better year as a writer than I did as a painter (in 2013). It was totally unexpected. Tweeting has been called “pointless babble,” but everyone is doing it. I wouldn’t know how to begin, and if I did, I wouldn’t know why I was doing it. But I am an exception. Technology is passing me by. I just read that my desktop computer might be obsolete in the future because everyone is going to be using tablets. Not me. I can understand why people would change over to tablets. You can make use of them while you are on the go. But I am not on the go. I am on the stay. The same article said that landlines are almost a thing of the past, and 40% of us have wireless service.

Once again, not me. I don’t have the latest anything. My column appears online but I rarely read it there. I like to get ink on my fingers. People stand in line to get the latest Apple. I don’t stand in line. If I am third in line, I change my mind and go somewhere and get a milk shake. I am an anomaly. I am retired, I have one living relative, and no family of my own. There are no urgencies, except for the one that cannot be mentioned here. I don’t need to — or want to — know what anyone is doing at the moment. I was told, however, that Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are great for marketing your paintings. I doubt it. Nothing is working right now. Nothing is selling. Here and there, low-priced art is selling, small paintings, or paintings that look like things. That means that people are buying recognizable imagery. There is nothing recognizable in my paintings, unless you can see images in clouds and fireplaces. Most people would rather have a new contraption than a painting or a sculpture. I wonder how many works of Smith continues on Page 7

With the Iraq War over and our involvement in Afghanistan winding down, the military is getting ready to downsize and many more veterans will soon be forced to make the transition to civilian life. I joined the Army after my junior year of high school, earned a high school diploma through an Army program, and was accepted at the University of Colorado before I left active duty. Needless to say, attending the University of Colorado as a young, single veteran was a great experience, both academically and socially. I was able to cover most of the cost of going to college under the educational benefits that I had earned through my military service. This program was commonly called the G.I. Bill when I went to the University of Colorado and it is now referred to as the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill for our current generation of returning veterans. No doubt, our military families have already been stressed by the multiple deployments of their service members and they now face more anxiety with the uncertain future of having to leave the military, which for many is the only career that they have ever known. Many of those who have recently left the military, or are soon to leave, are not interested in using their educational benefits to get a four-year college degree but would much rather have a job where they can better support their families. Our veterans are tremendously tal-

ented but need help transitioning their military skills to civilian employment. A Marine Corps infantry rifleman serving in Afghanistan will not have the technical skills to transition directly from his military occupational field to a civilian one. However, like so many others who serve or have served our country, they come with leadership skills, teamwork, and a sense of determination and urgency to accomplish whatever task they are given. My legislation, H.R. 1412, the Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act, will provide incentives for employers to hire our veterans so they can make that transition to a civilian job. There is also a little known and underutilized program that allows veterans to use their educational benefits to take advantage of job training through apprenticeship programs.

Englewood police are investigating the vandalism. “The security tapes show that at least three young men smashed windows in the computer lab and then smashed a number of computers,” said Kevin Sage, Englewood Police public information officer. “They then apparently moved into the band room where it appears they tried to set several small fires.” He said at 1:41 a.m. the fires triggered the high school’s water pressure alarm, a device that notifies the fire department water was running in the building. Information from the fire department stated firefighters went to the high school when the alarm sounded. The press release stated the firefighters entered the building, found broken glass and notified Englewood police. Police officers went into check the building with firefighters close behind them. They found areas had been vandalized and small fires set that triggered the sprinkler system. The police department press release stated, when the break-in was confirmed, Englewood officers set a perimeter around the building and asked for K-9 assistance. Officers from Cherry Hills and Sheridan police departments and from Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office arrived to help with the investigation. No suspects were found during the search of the building and surrounding area.

Inside the new wing, the vandals smashed the window to the computer lab and smashed several computers. They then went into the band room, orchestra room and choir room where they set several small fires. The fires set off the sprinkler system, which triggered the initial alarm. The sprinklers doused the fires but the flow continued and estimates are there were about four inches of standing water in the band room, choir room and orchestra room. Superintendent Ewert said the water may have damages some musical instruments but didn’t know if the instruments belonged to the school or to students. He said the water from the sprinklers went under the walls and into the high school auditorium. “We have damage to the carpet and low on the walls but fortunately, the sprinklers in the auditorium didn’t go off,” Ewert said. Sage said a team of detectives spend house on Jan. 13 reviewing security tapes in an effort to identify the individuals involved in the break in. “We also have fire department arson investigators working with detectives as they investigate the fires in the high school,” Sage said. “The smashed computers, the attempts to start fires and the water from the sprinklers combined to do thousands of dollars in damage.” On Jan. 14, investigators released video and photos of the suspects.

appropriated through the annual budget. Most of that money would go to colleges and universities, by way of the College Opportunity Fund, which provides tuition stipends for undergraduate students. The rest of the funding, $40 million worth, would go to various financial aid programs. The bill is a priority for Senate Democrats and Gov. John Hickenlooper. Much of Senate President Morgan Carroll’s speech opening during the first day of the legislative session focused on Senate Bill 1. In her remarks, Carroll, an Aurora Democrat, talked about her grandfather’s and mother’s struggles to afford college. She also shared her own story about having to work multiple jobs after high school so that she could save money to go to college. “Access to college or trade and technical education changes lives,” Carroll said. “Yet, the opportunities that were there for three generations before me … are now going the wrong way, moving backwards — and college is less affordable now than it was when I was in school.” The bill puts in statute the $100 million funding request for the Department of Higher Education that the governor made to the Joint Budget Committee in the fall. Typically, education funding is dealt with through the budget process, and not

a separate appropriation. Carroll told reporters recently that she wanted a separate bill that includes the cap and Hickenlooper’s funding proposal, because she feels the two are “connected.” And, judging by the response of Republicans during Hickenlooper’s State of the State speech on Jan. 9, the bill should have plenty of bipartisan support. The governor received a standing ovation from both sides of the aisle, when he addressed the measure in his remarks. Rep. Polly Lawrence, R-Douglas County, said after the governor’s speech that she is “concerned” about the capping the tuition rate at 6 percent. “Because in some ways that gives (higher education institutions) permission to raise tuition 6 percent,” she said. A spokesman for the Senate Republicans did not immediately comment, but Carroll acknowledged that the bill isn’t a total remedy for reining in tuition costs. “This is reversing a trend,” Carroll said. “It’s not going to suddenly make college more affordable to all folks.” Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, a bill co-sponsor, said the legislation should be considered a jobs bill, in addition to being an education measure. “We always hear, `It’s about jobs. We need to create jobs,’ ” Jahn said. “You go to the cause and stop trying to put Band-Aids on symptoms. Why are more people not going to college? Well, it’s because people can’t afford it. So if you really want to do something solid for economic development, let’s get people educated.”

Hickenlooper: State of our state is strong Governor touts economic numbers during annual address By By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper sounded like a man running for re-election during his annual State of the State address inside the Capitol on Jan. 9, as he touted Colorado’s economic rebound and called on lawmakers to “ignore divisive politics.” The governor sounded themes of unity throughout his speech, but particularly when he lauded Coloradans’ resilience during times of tragedy last year — which led to one of the most enthusiastically-received lines of the day. “Colorado does not shutdown. Colorado does not quit. Colorado does not break,” he said, to a standing ovation inside the House chamber, where all 100 state lawmakers were gathered. Hickenlooper hyped Colorado as a magnet for businesses and a state where job numbers continue to grow. And, for the most part, he stayed away from contentious issues that dominated the Legislature last year. While Democrats walked away glowingly from the governor’s speech, many Republicans voiced a “wait-and-see” response. “Well it felt good, but let’s see if those feelings continue for the rest of the year,” said Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock. “When he talked about not wanting parties to lock down, I hope he holds to that with his own party.” Much of the governor’s speech focused on the state’s improving economic numbers. Hickenlooper said the state has experienced a significant rebound in job numbers since 2010, when Colorado was ranked 40th in the nation in job growth. Now, the state ranks fourth in that category, has added 170,000 jobs over the last few

Photo by Hannah Garcia years, and has seen its unemployment rate drop from 9 percent in 2010, to its current rate of 6.5 percent. “But let’s be clear,” the governor cautioned, “the unemployment rate is not low enough, and all of us share a commitment to keep a statewide focus on this issue.” The state’s improving economy has also allowed lawmakers to work with more budget reserves than it had in recent years, which Hickenlooper said has been important when natural disasters have struck. “The single most critical factor in Colorado being able to stay open for business throughout hellfires and high waters has been reserves,” he said. Hickenlooper also talked about new business that lawmakers will attend to this ses-

sion. They included legislation that seeks to cap college tuition rate hikes and provide more financial aid for students, a part of the speech that received a standing ovation from both sides of the aisle. The governor also talked about other priorities, such as improving technology to reduce wait times at Department of Motor Vehicles offices; expanding Internet access across rural areas; and extending job-creation tax credits for businesses. The governor — who is up for re-election in November — stayed away from controversy. His only mention of last year’s gun-law saga came in a way that addressed the mental health aspect of gun tragedies, while touting recent laws that created more mental health services.

On oil and gas industry regulations, Hickenlooper said it’s important to recognize that oil and gas companies contribute billions of dollars to the state economy. At the same time, industry leaders should “recognize their moral and legal obligation to protect our air and water.” Democrats praised Hickenlooper’s speech. “I was very impressed with the collaborative nature of the visionary and positive message,” said Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge. “The theme of his speech was really about recovery.” Rep. Cheri Gerou, an Evergreen Republican who is known to cross the aisle on certain issues, said the governor’s speech was wellreceived. “The governor was able brag about his accomplishments and he should,” she said. “And the economy is recovering. Granted, we’ll never have enough money for all of our issues, but we’re making headway.” But other Republicans said it’s convenient for Hickenlooper to talk about unity without referencing the polarizing bills that he signed into law last year. “What was negative here last year was how things were handled,” said Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs. “The record was negative and the people said no. You can’t run from that.” Rep. Polly Lawrence, R-Douglas County, pointed out that the governor made no mention of measures that will be taken up again this year, such as repeal efforts on gun bills, renewable energy mandates for rural communities, and same-day voter registration. “We’re not looking to repeal everything that was passed last year, but there are corrections that need to be made,” Lawrence said. But Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, said that is yesterday’s news. “Last session was last session,” he said. “We’re looking forward. The governor highlighted the key things we need to do to bring us together, and that’s what we need to do.”

Colorado lawmakers get to work Party leaders talk about new efforts and old battles By By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The 2014 legislative session got underway Jan. 8, with speeches from party leaders that addressed a variety of key issues that lawmakers will be taking on over the next few months. Yes, there were calls by leaders in both chambers to work together on issues like jobs, the economy and education. But there was plenty of politics on opening day, with Democrats and Republicans exchanging jabs on contentious issues many of which were fought over last year - that are sure to lead to headlines during this year’s session. Although leaders talked about issues that they will surely fight over during the next few months, it is clear that their early priorities will focus on working together on legislation that will deal with flood and wildfire disasters. The first series of bills that were introduced in the House came as a result of work by a bipartisan Flood Disaster Study Committee. Those bills include legislation that creates income tax credits for properties destroyed by natural disasters, and another that creates grant funding to repair water infrastructure that is impacted by natural disasters. “Despite all the recovery work that’s already happened, there’s much still to do,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, DDenver. “And we must see it through to completion.” House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso echoed Ferrandino’s remarks on the importance of immediately dealing with natural disaster legislation. “Helping our friends and neighbors impacted by these tragedies will be a top priority of Republicans this session, and I am glad to hear that it will be for my colleagues across the aisle as well,” DelGrosso said.

Education will also be a key area of focus this year. Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, introduced the College Affordability Act, which places a 6 percent cap on tuition rate increases, and provides more money for financial aid. Carroll said the bill deals with skyrocketing tuition costs that often create enormous amounts of debt for students. “What we are talking about is squeezing out economic and life opportunities for an entire generation,” Carroll said. “This is an unsustainable trend that threatens to weaken our economy.” Ferrandino also talked about education, telling House members that students need more resources inside classrooms. He also took issue with the views on public education of Republicans, who often contend that schools need to be reformed, before more money is thrown at the education system. “But while some have argued for reform before resources, let me say this: Reforms will not work and our schools will not get better if they are not adequately funded. Period,” Ferrandino said. Republicans will move forward with legislation that seeks to undo Democratsponsored bills that became law following last year’s session. They include legislation that doubled the renewable energy mandate for rural electric cooperatives. DelGrosso said the mandate “puts a financial strain” on rural families and businesses. DelGrosso said that while the state’s economy is improving, parts of rural Colorado continue to struggle. “The voice of rural Colorado is being heard loud and clear by House Republicans and I hope my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will hear it as well,” DelGrosso said. Last year’s session saw Democrats achieve several legislative victories, over loud protests from their Republican colleagues. Democrats scored wins on guncontrol, election reform and on social issues, including the creation of civil unions

Clements, the former Colorado Department of Corrections director, was killed in his home last year. Photo by Hannah Garcia in Colorado. But Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, said Coloradans had a “visceral response to what took place in this Legislature last year.” That response included recall efforts that cost two Democratic senators their jobs and led one to resign from office. “Democrats divided by Republicans does not produce outcomes that are representative of this state,” Cadman said. Cadman said that last years’s political division resulted in a “hyper-partisan toxin that affected this entire institution. “To those who served here and all those who visited here, we started looking like Congress,” he said.

While Republicans feel Democrats overreached in their legislative efforts last year, Carroll looks at things differently, calling last year’s work “busy and productive” - especially compared to how things operate at our nation’s capital. “While D.C. was criticized for doing too little, some questioned whether in Colorado, we did too much,” she said. Carroll also addressed the public’s negative views on the political system. “While we at the state level cannot fix all of the frustrations and disappointments people experience with elected officials, we can show that we here in Colorado, right here in this Senate chamber, are different,” she said.

Consulting firm to look at Littleton Fire Seeks ways to improve service, save money By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Never a dull moment for Littleton Fire Rescue, which is about to undergo its fifth intensive study in as many years. “Over the last several years, a number of studies and discussions have taken place to explore additional partnership and consolidation opportunities,” reads a Jan. 8 news release from the city. “The result of this due diligence, the partners agree, is that the current model is very successful and a good fit for everyone involved. That’s not to say there isn’t room for improvement, and that’s where the master plan begins.” The night before, city council approved a resolution to create a long-term strategic plan for the department, something the firefighters’ association has been asking for. “When asked over the years to articulate a strategic plan, we have always been met with silence, puzzled looks or at best a response of `status quo,’” members of the association wrote in a letter to City Manag-

er Michael Penny in May 2013, after passing a vote of no confidence in Chief John Mullin. Mullin announced his retirement four months later and exited at the end of the year. With new LFR Chief Christopher Armstrong now at the helm, the city has hired Emergency Services Consulting Inc. to create the new plan, despite being unhappy with the results of its 2012 study that recommended merging with Englewood’s department. Penny says different employees will work on it this time, and Littleton and its partners, Littleton Fire Protection District and the Highlands Ranch Metro District, are comfortable with giving ESCI another shot. The three entities will split the $58,000 price tag equally. “The ESCI study was not enthusiastic about a merger, in my opinion,” said Penny. “Englewood had substantial capital investment necessary, like station quality, and there was little fiscal gain and potential loss for Littleton.” The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority released the results of its own study in September 2013, which suggested it could and should absorb both Littleton and Englewood’s departments. “Based on this initial analysis, there appear to be several opportunities to provide a higher level of service across all agencies

while eliminating duplication and lowering costs overall,” reads that document. “It is feasible for LFR and EFD to join SMFRA and receive full services including emergency response, special teams, patient transport, permitting and inspections, risk reduction programs, accreditation, and all support services.” Littleton declined to pursue that option. “We are not discussing mergers,” said Penny. “We have a great and solid partnership with our current fire partners, and that will not change in the foreseeable future. We hired a new chief, and that should make a strong statement about the desired direction of this organization and our fire partners.”

Information sharing underway City council on Jan. 7 also approved a resolution to merge dispatch software with SMFRA, Evergreen and West Metro Fire Rescue. “The proposed (computer-aided dispatch system) consolidation would support over three-quarters of a million people located across three counties and 21 cities, and would become one of the largest regionalized CAD projects in the state of Colorado,” reads the staff report.

It’s a consolidation of software only, not physical locations, that will allow dispatchers to share more information among themselves and reduce confusion over which jurisdiction a 911 call originated in. In what Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman said was quite an accomplishment, the Arapahoe and Douglas E-911 authorities were persuaded to bear the costs, which city staff says will save the city more than $100,000 a year. It’s the biggest step yet in the ongoing effort to improve service and morale in the department that started in 2008 when the city partnered with LFPD and HRMD to hire Organizational Effectiveness Consulting. That study contained 108 recommendations, very few of which were ever implemented due to budget constraints. In 2011, amid heightened tensions among the partners, Littleton Fire Protection District and the Highlands Ranch Metro District paid for their own study but have refused to release it, saying it was never completed. “What we are doing now is about LFR and no other entities,” said Penny. “It’s a long-range master plan document for our organization looking at our service area. It’s about how we provide the best service to our customers, how we structure and organize and deploy.”

Expert on teen violence offers guidance to LPS By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The topic of the Jan. 10 meeting of the Greater Littleton Youth Initiative was painfully timely given the recent tragedy at Arapahoe High School, but Dr. Jeff Jenson had already been scheduled to present his work on preventing youth violence. “When it’s your neighborhood, your back yard, all the statistics don’t really matter,” he said. “Making sense of the reasons has been the hardest thing.” GLYI comprises current and past Littleton Public Schools staff and board members, mental-health workers, local government officials, community organizations that work with youth, and everyday citizens. They initially came together in 1999 after the tragedy at Columbine, a Jefferson County school, in an attempt to prevent another such episode in the greater Littleton community. But none of them could have predicted that 15 years later, they would be discussing another school shooting, this one just blocks away from their meeting room in the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce office in Centennial’s Streets at SouthGlenn. “We want healthy kids, and we want to stop all the bad things as fast as we can,” said John Brackney, president of the chamber and a founding member of GLYI. “If you were all of us, what would you tell us to do?” Jenson, a professor at the University of Denver’s graduate school of social work, replied that helping young families get off the ground is a good first step. “But I guess if I had my druthers, I’d like to see a big paradigm shift that would make us move collectively to a prevention orientation,” he said. GLYI has taken strides toward that end already, implementing scientifically sound programs like the Nurse-Family Partnership, which pairs first-time moms with

support, and the Incredible Years, which instills emotional, social and academic skills in preschool kids. Jenson said the overarching skill that kids need is how to be resilient, to recover when bad things happen and learn positive lessons from them. To achieve that, he said, requires a good foundation to build on, things like having healthy social bonds, problem-solving skills, a positive attitude, a happy and stable home, and low stress levels. “We’re pressure-cooking these kids,” said Angela Engel, the City of Centennial’s youth and senior commissions coordinator. What doesn’t work, said Jenson, are the “scared straight” kinds of programs of the past. “These efforts had the opposite effect, almost,” he said. Today’s programs, such as the ones used by GLYI, approach the issue of teen violence the way public-health departments approach disease — at the source. “Problem behaviors are best prevented by reducing the risk factors associated with their onset,” said Jenson. Factors like substance abuse in the family, lack of parental bonding, low commitment to education, poverty, peer rejection and lack of involvement in the community can all be risk factors, he said. “Despite advances in prevention, solutions to preventing isolated incidences of school shootings remain elusive,” he added. That comment reflected the frustration and sadness evident in the room. But there was also the sense that it’s more important than ever for GLYI to make progress going forward. It’s currently undergoing a change in structure as it works to wean itself off of the City of Littleton, which has been funding it to the tune of $100,000 a year. “This is not an effort to say it’s anybody’s fault,” said Brackney. “It’s all of our efforts to have a healthy community. And it has to be a community, or it will never work.” “We cannot stop all bad things from happening, but we can show everybody how we rally and come together,” agreed Sue Chandler, GLYI president.

Arapahoe students return to class Staff report Arapahoe High School students returned to class Jan. 7 for the first time since the Dec. 13 shooting at the school. Junior Jordan Macomber said the mood on campus was hard to explain. “Half of us were really up and confident and happy to be back,” he said. “The other half was lacking confidence and still very traumatized by what happened. … Almost everyone is really sick of the news coverage and the cameras.” A letter to parents and students from Arapahoe principal Natalie Pramenko said there was additional police and school district staff presence on campus. She added that “there will be a need for mental health support moving forward. We will keep members of the current crisis response team in place for as long as

is necessary to support both students and staff.” Students were given the opportunity to take final exams, but the tests were not required, according to the school’s website. If a student decided not to take the final exam for a given class, his or her previous grade will stand for the first semester. The library, where 18-year-old student Karl Pierson shot himself to death after fatally wounding classmate Claire Davis, is closed for remodeling. Pramenko’s letter says a small team of students, staff and parents will help come up with the new design, and it hopefully will reopen in the spring. “We want to thank you for your continued love, prayers, patience and support,” she wrote. “Warriors, always take care of one another, and stay Warrior Strong.”

The figures I choose to paint are searching and exploring as I am,” writes Linda Lowry in her artist’s statement for her new solo show at Lone Tree Arts Center. The water is rippling, swirling, dazzling in the sunlight as Lowry records that particular part of her world.

Those include people and others, more recently created, are just of water in motion and at peace. Lowry’s colors are bright and clear, skillfully layered to give the effect of depth and movement — inviting the viewer to stick a toe in. “The patterns in water encourage a different approach than my paintings of buildings; I like the playfulness of abstraction,” she says. “I like the suggestion of layers in another world below the surface.” According to Lowry, she has been using cameras below the water and on the surface and after her show,

Lowry, whose work has appeared in numerous solo and group exhibits since the early 1980s, has art in many collections in the US and abroad. She taught in the Arapahoe Community College Art Department for a number of years and said she is scheduled to teach a class in figure drawing at ACC next semester, provided it fills.

Artists pick masters as mentors Bellows, Van Gogh, O’Keefe, Adams and more emulated By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Step inside the front door at Depot Art Gallery and Fred Bickle’s Best of Show painting is just to your left. Along with it comes a bit of information about the master he chose as an influence in the Littleton Fine Arts Guilds annual “Masters as Mentors” exhibit, which runs through Feb. 16. The painting’s technically excellent work and strong composition spoke to juror Pat Rucker, a Denver artist, whose abstract painting hangs just to the left of the winner. Each Littleton Fine Arts Guild member who entered chose one or more master artists as influences. While a few tried to copy works, as art students did in earlier years, most simply took an idea or style and worked with it. Each work includes a statement and a photo of the image that triggered the new piece, providing a mini-art history lesson. For instance, “Winter Morning Bike Ride” was inspired by the style of George Wesley Bellows (1882-1925), a member of New York’s famed Ashcan School and a student of

teacher Robert Henri. Henri taught at the Chicago Art Institute and influenced many other young artists of his day. Photographer Peggy Dietz won a first-place ribbon with her “Evening Walkers in Laramie,” suggested by Louis Anquetin’s mellow “Avenue de Clichey ”(1887). Secondplace winner Cele Bergstrom created an imitation of John Singer Sargent’s “Daughters of Edward D. Boit.” P h o t o g ra p h e r “Masters as Mentors” is exhibited at the Depot Art Steve Johnson Gallery through Feb. 16. The gallery, at 2069 W. Powers Ave., Littleton, is housed in the former Santa Fe selected Painter Railroad Depot, est. 1881, which once served LittleAndrew Wyeth’s ton’s needs for passenger and freight service. Hours open landscapes for the member-operated gallery: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. as inspiration for Wednesdays through Sundays. 303-795-0781. his “Get Gas.” The Guild is currently accepting applications from artists for membership, which involves submitting examples of one’s work to a jurying committee. Call or stop by for more information. Membership involves some volunteer time hosting the depot’s open hours, as well as exhibition opportunities in the ongoing themed shows.

New theater opens with drama, classes, yoga By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ coloradocommunitymedia.com “Your Art Can Change the World” that’s Actasana’s message to all. The new venue, open four months, invites residents of its mid-century modern Virginia Village neighborhood — and others who might be looking for special classes — to get acquainted. The stylish, intimate theater at Florida Avenue and S. Holly Street just completed its first production, “Two for the Seesaw” by William Gibson and has started a variety of winter classes for actors of all ages in public speaking, on-camera audition/ interview techniques and more.

if you go Actasana is located in a strip mall at Holly and Florida in Denver, with a very visible ice blue sign. The address is 1491 S. Holly St., Denver. Check www.Actasana.com for class schedules and/or future play productions. Visit for the first Thursday Laughasana at 8 p.m. Signup begins at 7:30 for those who have material to try out on an audience. Call 720-638-2612.

Future productions will be announced on the website, www.Actasana.com, perhaps new works as well as those in circulation, such as the mid-century Gibson play. Acting is taught with the Meisner Technique, which Lea Marlene — the artistic

director and founder — studied in depth in Hollywood. It includes two weekly threehour classes involving repetition, independent activities, emotional preparation and scene work. The website also offers a video about the Meisner Technique. On the first Thursdays of the month, one will find Laughasana, an open mic night for five-minute comedy acts, which could lead to being booked for a fulllength show. Those are also welcome to just sit and be entertained. Marlene, a Colorado native and CSU graduate, has produced and wrote many successful shows. She developed a standup comedy act, producing, hosting and performing in numerous comedy venues. Comedy workshops are in the theater’s

future plans, following one with Comedy Central’s Bret Ernst in late August. Yoga has been an important element in Marlene’s life and she teaches it at Actasana as well as other Denver studios. The acting program incorporates yoga into all classes, making it different from other acting studios. Co-Founder is David Lauer, whose experience in the film industry will contribute to the theater’s class schedule. His impressive visual effects credits are listed on the Actasana website. He also has a business as architectural photographer and his work was exhibited in the theater’s surrounding gallery when we visited.

Littleton girls keep streak alive Lions top Gateway, Denver North as action resumes By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com The Lions got in trouble early, but shifted into high gear in the second half, erasing a Gateway lead, before cruising to a 57-40 win Jan. 7 in girls basketball action. “The rust from the vacation layoff showed early plus Gateway had an amazing first half,” Littleton coach Adam Williams said after the game, explaining the early deficit. “But this team has a lot of confidence, we staged another comeback and got the win.” The victory raised the Lions overall record to 8-1, keeping them perfect since losing the season opener to Bear Creek. Littleton had a few days to savor the win before making it nine straight with a 66-28 win Jan. 11 at Denver North. The Lions resumed action Jan. 14 against Northglenn (after deadline) and will open the league season on the road Jan. 17 at Legend. Against Gateway, the Lions got ahead early but the Olympians stormed back with some accurate outside shooting to lead 1611 at the end of the first quarter. Gateway balanced their attack inside and out in the second to lead 28-22 at the half. Littleton returned after halftime and mounted full-court defensive pressure. The pressure caused turnovers and the Lions converted those turnovers into six quick points to tie the score at 28 two minutes into the third quarter. The Lions scored the next five as well to go up for good at 33-28. Good ball control and shot selection plus free-throw accuracy enabled Littleton to build on the lead and run away. Senior Sarah Fee paced the Littleton attack with 16 points, which included hitting 6-of-7 from the free-throw line. Stacey Zuppa and Laura Puchino each scored 11 points for the Lions, while Zuppa was the rebounding leader with eight and Puchino lead the team in steals with four. Fee said after the game that basketball was her sport although she also plays ultimate Frisbee. “I started playing basketball in junior high school and, when I came to Littleton High School, I fell in love the program, the coaches and my teammates so I stayed with it,” Fee said after the game. “I can

Fee paced the Lions’ attack with 15 points, helping her team to a 57-40 victory. Photos by Tom Munds shoot outside but I think I am best when I drive the lane because we work well together as a team.” The senior said the team’s 8-1 record so far this season has been a confidence builder for the Lions. “I think we are playing well and it builds our confidence to get off to a good start on the season like this,” she said. “We are working to improve and getting the wins helps us get ready for the challenges we face when league play starts.” Littleton coach Adam Williams has seen steady improvement in his four years with the program. “We have been working hard since I got here and we have gotten better each season,” he said. “This year, I wasn’t sure how

this time would shape up. This is a different team than we have had in the past. I didn’t know how they would do in competition but they are really surprising me with how well they are playing.” He said the team guts it out, they are confident and they go out and win games. “I think our team strength is our defense,” he said. “The girls go out and put non-stop pressure on the opponent all over the court. The confidence is there all the time. We came back strong in the second half tonight but this is the fourth or fifth time we have been behind at the half then came back to win the game. I am at the point that I have so much confidence in these kids that I never doubt we will stage a comeback and win the game.”

Littleton coach Adam Williams does a fist bump with his players after a timeout during the Jan. 8 game against Gateway. The Lions overcame Gateway’s first-half lead and pulled away to win the non-league contest, 57-40.

Bruins post win over Heritage on mats Cherry Creek veterans outscore young Eagles By Tom Munds

The mat experience of Cherry Creek’s wrestlers tipped the scales significantly in their favor on Jan. 10 as the Bruins posted a 58-18 dual-match win over Heritage. “We have eight seniors in the lineup and we have been working with about all our wrestlers since they joined our youth program as 11- or 12-year-olds,” Bruins coach Mike Luhring said before the match. “The wrestling experience of our varsity starters makes us strong up and down the lineup. I feel it shows that our youth wrestling program is helping make us a solid team at the varsity and junior varsity level.” Heritage coach Ray Barron agreed. “Cherry Creek is strong. They had solid senior leadership and some of their athletes have been wrestling for eight years or more,”

he said after the match. “The four Finesilver brothers brought their intensity to the program and it has spread to the entire team.” The Bruins next mat action was at home Jan. 16 against Arapahoe and on Jan. 17-18 Cherry Creek will travel to the Arvada West Tournament. The next dual match at home is Jan. 23 against Eaglecrest and Jan. 24-25, the Bruins will compete in the Centaurus Invitational Tournament. Heritage faces a series of road dates starting with the Jan. 16 trip to Ponderosa. On Jan. 18, the Eagles will compete in the Alameda Tournament and on Jan. 23, travel to Castle View. The next home date for Heritage is the Jan. 30 dual meet against Rock Canyon. A sizable crowd turned out for the Jan. 10 Heritage-Cherry Creek dual match. The score, 58-18, does not reflect the determined effort a Heritage wrestler put into every match nor how the Bruin wrestlers’ mat experience tipped the scales in their favor at most weight divisions.

Bruins Continued from Page 16

Cherry Creek wrestlers Mason Harms (170) and Hunter Pasternack (182) put the Bruins ahead in team scores with back-toback pins in the first two matches of the contest. That led up to the 195-pound match between Eagle Austin Atwell and Bruin Matt Goettelman that was probably one of the most exciting clashes of the night. Each wrestler got one point for an escape through the regular match time of three two-minute periods. The match went into overtime. The wrestlers were on their feet for 30 seconds and then each wrestler had the upper position for a one-minute period. That ended in a 2-2 tie. The wrestlers then began another 30-second period with Atwell in the upper position but that ended when

He said he will continue to work to get stronger and improve his wrestling techniques through the rest of the regular season in order to do well at regionals and go back to the state tournament. Heritage sophomore Jared Todd’s win over Bruin Jerrad Long raised the Eagle 145-pounder’s record to 19-1, the best record on the team. “Wrestling is sort of a family tradition. My older brothers were wrestlers and I decided to continue the tradition,” Todd said after the match. “Having brothers with wrestlers is a plus because we go to the gym almost every day to wrestle.” He said 145 is the weight where he wants to be. He also said he feels his biggest asset as a wrestler is his love of the sport and the fact he doesn’t want to stop until he gets better.

Sheared wool can be a reason to go Younger family attends stock show to learn By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com While most Jan. 9 activities at the National Western Stock Show focused on setting up for coming events, the Younger family came from Elbert County to the arena to observe the wool judging. The family started with four lambs and now their herd has grown to 13 animals. The sheep grow rapidly and usually by the time they are a year old, they are old enough to be sheared. Mady, 12, said the family began raising sheep at her request. “We have horses and dogs so I thought sheep would be fun as pets,” the girl said. “I like our sheep and

with the program for several years were featured on at least one song. Autumn Mahl is one of the students in the new piano instruction programs. Her dad said she likes to play and practices about 20 minutes a day. He added she said she is getting tired of practicing the pieces for this recital. After the recital, the 8-year-old said she decided to take piano lessons because it sounded like it would be easy to do. “It is a little hard but not too hard,” Mahl said. “I am leaning and it is fun to do.”

soon, I am going into 4H where I can learn more about raising the sheep.” Mady’s older brother Matthew said last year, they hired a man to shear their sheep. “The wool from our sheep is nice and I am using it as I am learning to hand spin the wool into yarn,” Holly Younger said. “We came today to watch the judging and to learn all we can about what it takes to raise sheep that provide prize-winning wool. … We are raising some registered sheep, we want to win some wool prizes and maybe we can have them sheared and sell the wool to hand spinners.” The wool judging is among a handful of events that got started before the National Western Stock Show officially began Jan. 11. In another part of the National Western complex, owners were moving cattle into the stalls and preparing them to be shown. The hum of clippers and the whine of hairdryers blends in with the moo-

ing of the cattle in the stalls. The cattle judging is done by breeds. On Jan. 9, many owners had Angus cattle in the stalls. When the shows are over for one breed, those cattle are moved out and cattle of another breed take their place. Sean Witherspoon from Delta led one Angus cow to the wash area identified as the “Bovine Beauty Shop.” “We will scrub this cow down then move back to the stall and blow-dry it,” he said. “Then, we will begin to clip and trim it to get ready for the show ring.” The National Western is known as the Super Bowl of Livestock Shows. More than 15,000 animals will pass through the show between Jan. 11 and 26. In addition to the livestock shows and sales, there are special events such as rodeos and horse shows. For more information and a schedule of events, go to www.nationalwestern.com.

Zaida Sever is a Strings Attached veteran in her fourth year in the program. “The Strings Attached people came to our school each year to talk about the program, it sounded like it would be fun so I decided to try it and I liked it,” the 12-year-old cello player said. “When I went to sign up for the program, there was a long line signing up for violin lessons and the cello line was short so I signed up to play the cello. After four years of lessons, I am more comfortable with the cello and sometimes, I’ll take music I know and adapt it so I can play it on my cello.” During the performance, it was announced this was final Strings Attached event for head instructor Ben Thompkins. “I took this position because it was

an opportunity to work with kids,” Thompkins said after the concert. “It has been a great four years with the program. We have gotten the opportunity to stage some performances like we did Carmen a few years ago. We also have been able to expand the program to offer instruction in additional instruments. We also created an orchestra that I understand will be part of the elementary music program next year. I loved working with kids and every one of them was special.” While Tompkins is leaving and a new head instruction will be named soon, the other three instructors, David Short (cello), Jeremiah Sault (guitar) and Mariam Kapner (piano) are still with the program and they announced that the regular lesson schedule will continue.

Horse show draws quite the crowd Quarter horse event brings out Franktown trainers, more By Tom Munds

tmunds@ coloradocommunitymedia. com In the stalls and aisles of the paddock, trainers and owners smoothed out saddle blankets and tightened cinches preparing to take part in the final sessions of the Pre Denver Quarter Horse Show at the National Western Stock Show Events Center. “I have been coming to this show for a lot of years,” Douglas County trainer Devin Warren said of the show that precedes the National Western. “I come here to show horses and also to coach and train non-professional horse owners so they can show their horses.” Warren is well known in horse circles as the trainer of world champions. At the Jan. 9 event, he rode a quarter horse around the exercise ring before turning the animal over to its owner Gina Ratcliff. But first he adjusted the stirrups to fit the new rider and did some last-minute coaching before horse and rider moved out into the ring. “This is just one of about 80 horses we have here for the show,” the owner of Warren Performance Horses on Highway 83 said. “We have an excellent team that trains

horses and who are available to coach the owners on show techniques. I guess training the horse and coaching the owner really go together as the result of how well we did comes when we see how much better horse and rider are in the show ring.” Warren grew up in Woodland Park and around horses and participated in 4H to learn more about livestock, particularly horses. “Of course, we work with a variety of breeds,” he said. “For example, we have horses here for the quarter horse show and, when it ends, we’ll move them out and be here with paint horses when the National Western Stock Show gets into full swing.” Warren and his horses were in the National Western Stock Show Events Center area. The area includes the ring the public sees and behind that area is the extensive barn and paddock area. The aisles are lined with horse stalls. Some owners have just a single stall, while others like Warren need a group of adjacent stalls, making for a temporary home for their horses. Just a short distance from Warren’s stalls were a group of eight stalls occupied by Franktown’s Mcdowall Quarter Horse. Kiwi, a horse owned by Renee Howes of Arizona was one of those trained by Mcdowall. “I came down today to take my horse Kiwi for a walk to give him a little exercise since most of the trainers are off today and we aren’t showing today,” Howes said. “The people at Mcdowall coached me and I entered Kiwi

Warren, owner of Franktown’s Warren Performance Horses, had about 80 horses at the Jan. 5-9 Pre Denver Quarter Horse Show that precedes the National Western Stock Show.

We did pretty well, which earns us points to help us qualify for the national show that will be held later this year in Amarillo, Texas.” As the quarter horse show wraps up, the animals will move out of the stalls to make room for the other horse breeds coming in for shows, sales and special events during the National Western Stock Show that officially opened two days later on Jan. 11.

the Super Bowl of Livestock Shows and runs through Jan. 26. During the 16-day run there are judging competitions and sales for horses, cattle, sheep, swine, goats, llamas, bison, yaks poultry and rabbits. Since space is fairly limited, animals are constantly moving in and out of the complex so that more than 15,000 head of livestock can take part in the judging competitions and sales. The National Western Stock Show’s daily schedule includes

a variety of livestock event but there are also listing for other activities including rodeos and entertainment. The National Western also is Colorado’s largest trade show with hundreds of vendors displaying their merchandise. The variety of events and activities attract spectators and last year, more than 628,000 people went through the turnstiles.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JAN 15, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Romantic aspects are high at this time for single Lambs looking for love. Warm and fuzzy feelings also are at enhanced levels for Rams and Ewes in paired relationships. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) This week favors what Taureans dote on -- namely, love and money. Look for more meaningful relationships for both singles and pairs, as well as an improved financial outlook. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) All lingering shreds of that recent bout with boredom are dissipated as you eagerly accept a challenging offer. Your positive mood persuades others to join you in this venture.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You might need validation for a possible solution to a situation involving someone close to you. Consider asking a trusted friend or relative to help you with this problem. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Investigate carefully before agreeing to assist a friend or colleague with a personal problem. There might be hidden factors that could emerge later that will create problems for you. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Your decision to work with an associate rather than go it alone, as you first proposed, brings an unexpected bonus. Be careful not to be judgmental. Allow for free and open discussion. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A loved one’s health problem could, once again, make demands on your time and attention. But this time, make some demands of your own, and insist that others pitch in and help. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) This is a good time for the traditionally staid Scorpion to plan adjustments in your day-to-day schedules. Be more flexible and allow for more impromptu, off-the-cuff actions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Avoid creating unnecessary fuss over a situation you don’t approve of. If it’s going to work, it will do so despite your objections. If it fails, it will do so without a push from you. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Working with a trusted colleague could open your mind to exploring some considerations you previously dismissed out of hand. The weekend brings news from a loved one. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Resolving a recent problem leaves you in a good position to strengthen your influence on how things get done. But continue to encourage ideas and suggestions from others. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A new friend suggests an interesting opportunity. But check it out before you snap at it.

Pizzeria brings taste of St. Louis to area Arch Pizza offers signature thin-crust style at new locale By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Marc and Stacy Dak call it St. Louis’ little secret, one they want everyone in Colorado to know. The Centennial residents recently opened Arch Pizza in Lone Tree, which features St. Louis-style pies. Characterized by a thin crust and a blended provolone/Swiss and cheddar cheese known as provel, the pizza is cut into squares instead of slices. It’s a distinctive style Missourians know and Coloradans are discovering, said the Daks, who opened their first store last fall in Denver. “What makes it unique is the provel cheese, the tangier, smoky, sweeter sauce and our cracker-thin crust,” said Stacy Dak, whose family hails from St. Louis. “I grew up always going back and having it. I loved it. It’s one of those childhood memories.” The thin crust means it’s also less filling.

Marc and Stacy Dak’s new Lone Tree restaurant Arch Pizza features St. Louis style pizza. Photo by Jane Reuter “It’s one of those pizzas you can eat a little more of than normal because they are smaller,” Marc Dak said. “There’s a lot less crust, so I don’t feel bloated and full after eating. And it brings out the flavor of

the ingredients and toppings.” Stacy’s brother, Matt Liess, and her husband decided to introduce the Midwestern specialty to Colorado. Missouri transplants immediately were grateful.

“When we opened our first store, the turnout from St. Louis natives was tremendous,” Stacy Dak said. Ed and Margie Imo first introduced the style in 1964 when they opened a pizza parlor in St. Louis. Imo’s now is a 90-restaurant chain that has inspired others, including the Daks. The Lone Tree Arch Pizza is in the Meadows Shopping Center on Maximus Drive west of Yosemite Street, in a space previously occupied by Rocky Mountain Pie. The Daks redesigned the interior, adding a faux brick wall and arch. “We’ve had a warm welcome from the community,” Stacy Dak said. “We kind of want to be that local pizza place.” Other unique offerings include toasted ravioli, deep-fried provel cheese bites and toasted banana bites. Arch Pizza is open seven days a week and delivers within a five-mile radius of its Lone Tree site. The Daks plan soon to open restaurants in Englewood, Thornton and southeast Denver, and say they have an aggressive business plan that eventually includes restaurants in Castle Rock, Monument, Colorado Springs and Boulder among other communities.

Reality show contestant cooks up TV appearance Highlands Ranch chef to star on ‘Cutthroat Kitchen’ By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Leah Eveleigh shares a common philosophy with the most successful people in the world: improvement should be constant. No matter that her office is actually a kitchen; the idea holds true anywhere. Perhaps that’s why the producers of the Food Network reality television show “Cutthroat Kitchen,” which pits four chef-contestants against one another in a cook-off, recently tapped Eveleigh, a Highlands Ranch resident. The mother of two has made quite a name for herself in the Denver area through her company, Tropical Grill Catering, which serves up Filipino- and Hawaiian-influenced delicacies at places like the Dragon Boat Festival and Taste of Colorado. She caters luaus, weddings, birthday parties and other special events. Although she’s in a kitchen setting, being in front of television cameras and whipping up a dish that will be judged — sometimes harshly — in front of millions is a different ballgame. Eveleigh cannot divulge any details before her episode airs at 8 p.m. Jan. 19 on the Food Network, but she is eager to share her experience with friends and relatives during a watch party at Lodo’s Bar and Grill in Highlands Ranch. Eveleigh has been busy reaping the rewards for her hard

work and “constant improvement” mantra and is finally getting recognition for succeeding at something for which she is truly passionate. “To be chosen to be a contestant, that’s huge for me,” she said. “It’s my dream come true.” The recognition, she hopes, will help her launch her own company, Chef Leah’s Kitchen. Eveleigh plans to market herself as a private chef who will also appear at cooking demonstrations. Of course, she will continue to cater. Eveleigh has also spent several years compiling her recipes into a cookbook. Devoted followers seek her out every year at festivals, and Eveleigh gets immense satisfaction while watching people enjoy her food. “It’s my reputation I’m putting out there,” she says. “I try to make it better every time.” Eveleigh, who grew up on a remote island in the Phillipines, learned how to cook at a young age. Her mother taught her everything she knows. The family earned money by selling its goods at the local market. The influence on her cooking today is obvious. Eveleigh is known for her banana lumpia, her take on a popular Filipino dessert. She puts banana in an egg roll wrap, fries it to a crisp, then drizzles it with chocolate or caramel or strawberry sauce. Powdered sugar is sprinkled on top for good measure. Eveleigh likely was more prepared for the judges than the other contestants on “Cutthroat Kitchen.” She has a few “very honest” critics at home: her boys, ages 12 and 14. “I do listen to them,” she says, before adding: “They’re so spoiled.” It’s those critics that Eveleigh, who just turned 50, most wants to impress. She hopes that they are learning by ex-

Eveleigh’s episode airs at 8 p.m. Jan. 19.

Her website, www.leaheveleigh.com, will launch immediately after the episode of “Cutthroat Kitchen” airs Jan. 19.
