Coach out at Heritage High School Community urges Griebel’s reinstatement By Tom Munds and Jennifer Smith Staff writers

Heritage High School has decided to take its football team in a different direction, one that does not include longtime head coach Mike Griebel. A letter was sent to “Heritage Football Families” on Dec. 5 stating that Griebel “is no longer coaching” for the school. No reason for his dismissal was given. “It is not much fun,” Griebel said by phone Dec. 6. “The school told me their decision earlier this week. I didn’t do anything wrong, and I want the kids to know I did not leave them, that I did not resign or

retire from coaching.” He said he already had put in the papers to retire from teaching in May. “I am retiring from teaching, but I had planned to stay on as a coach for the next three years while my son Mikey is here at Heritage,” he said. “It was not my decision to leave the position as Eagles head football coach.” The community is rallying behind Griebel, who coached the Eagles to the Class 4A state championship in 2009. As of the afternoon of Dec. 6, more than 1,100 people had signed a petition on change.org asking that he be reinstated. “Coach Griebel has taught more than football to these boys,” reads the petition. “Coach Griebel has given valuable life les Coach continues on Page 10

THE WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Smile, you’re on cupola cam Anyone can see Littleton live, anytime, from anywhere By Jennifer Smith

Sebastian Perez, 2, expresses fascination with Santa Claus as his brother Manuel, 8, watches with a smile during Santa’s annual visit to Arapahoe Community College on Dec. 6. Dozens of children donned in attire for a long winter’s nap turned out to Arapahoe Community College Dec. 6 to visit with Santa. The jolly old elf was on campus to read “ ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Families enjoyed a holiday meal with all the fixings, and the kids enjoyed making picture frames to hold their photos with Santa. Every child got a few moments to cuddle up with St. Nick, and he listened intently as each one of them whispered their Christmas wishes.

Jimmy Torres helps 2-year-old Lauren Pierce piece together a festive picture frame for Lauren’s photo with Santa Claus Dec. 6 at Arapahoe Community College.

Littleton has a brand-new “cupola cam,” and it’s four times bigger and brighter than ever. The “cam,” a camera mounted on top of the Littleton Courthouse, sends a live feed that can be accessed and controlled from anywhere in the world. It was out of commission for several weeks while Cathy Weaver, the city’s webmaster, researched and replaced the original one with the new model. She explained that the old one was actually a security camera, so it could only be updated by the vendor. “A few months after the (first) camera was installed, the vendor went out of business,” she said. “Because we could not update the camera’s software, we had no choice but to just let it run until advances in software technologies made it obsolete. We knew that day would come, and felt fortunate that it took more than 10 years to happen.” She said finding a system with privacyprotection features similar to the original camera was a bit tricky, but she settled on the one the city uses to detect vehicles stopped at intersections. “These cameras have an excellent picture, zoom and auto-focus controls, a weatherproof housing, a viewer timer and the ability to lock in preset views,” she said. “Also, just like the traffic detection cameras, Cupola Cam does not record the video that it sees.” The camera went live Nov. 26, just in time for the Candlelight Walk in downtown Littleton the day after Thanksgiving. Visitors to the site can, with a click of their mouse, aim the camera at preset views like Bega Park, Goddard Middle School, Colorado Center for the Blind, downtown Denver and more. If there is more than one person on the site, however, visitors

Real-estate pros tout smart growth Group planning hard look at Littleton Boulevard

SMART GROWTH PRINCIPLES Mix land uses Take advantage of compact building design Create a range of housing opportunities and choices Create walkable neighborhoods Foster distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place Preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty and critical environmental areas Strengthen and direct development toward existing communities Provide a variety of transportation choices Make development decisions predictable, fair and cost effective Encourage community and stakeholder collaboration in development decisions

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Real-estate brokers across the nation are jumping on the smart-growth bandwagon, and the South Metro Denver Realtor Association is no exception. “Growth is `smart’ when it gives us great communities with more choices and personal freedom, good return on public investment, greater opportunity across the community, a thriving natural environment, and a legacy we can be proud to leave our children and grandchildren,” reads the Smart Growth Network’s website, which counts the National Association of Realtors among its 40 or so partners. Others include health organizations, architect and planner associations, environmental groups and more. On Dec. 5, SMDRA welcomed the NAR’s John Rosshirt to outline the concept, which advocates for things like pedestrian-

friendly neighborhoods, transportation choices, environmentally sound construction practices and fostering a strong “sense of place.” “What you want is for people to get first off is that this is a really cool place,” said Rosshirt. “Everywhere has a place that is strong and can be built on. Whatever it is

that’s your distinctive thing, get behind it.” The class is one of the first concrete actions to come out of October’s Littleton Community Retreat, which SMDRA member Kay Watson was part of. She’s following up by planning a “charette,” defined as an intensive, collaborative session to find a solution to a problem that integrates the interests of a diverse community. This one would focus on a smart-growth perspective on Littleton Boulevard. Stapleton Denver is an example of a neighborhood that incorporated smartgrowth principles into its design, and the metro area is full of others. In fact, the Smart Growth Network will showcase many of them during its 2014 New Partners for Smart Growth Conference, Feb. 13-15 at the Hyatt Regency downtown. Rosshirt explained that the 20th-century trends of single-family homes on large lots and sprawling covered shopping malls are fading as people’s lifestyles change. “Our American dream is not the same as it was in the ‘40s or ‘50s,” he said. People are having fewer kids today, and many of those kids are choosing to remain single longer, according to a study funded

in part by NAR. Many of them believe less stuff to pay for and less living space to take care of equals more freedom, and about 75 percent of them would be willing to pay more for housing to commute less. “The American dream is really about economic mobility,” said Rosshirt. The average household size is just 2.6 today, and in 2008, one-quarter of all American households were single, according to the study. So it takes more living units just to maintain population, which results in the dreaded “D” word - density. And that’s where smart-growth advocates often hit a brick wall in their communities. “Often the most vocal people are in the smallest minority,” he said. “You all know NIMBY. NIMBY always comes to those meetings. … There’s nothing bad about density, the problem is bad planning and design.” Proponents might find a surprising ally in seniors. According to the NAR study, the number of households headed by people 85 and older will double from 2005 to 2030. “They’re the ones that are competing with the Millennials for the downtown condos,” said Rosshirt.

Englewood Chick-fil-A up in air Eatery planned at former site of Funtastic Fun By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com A public hearing on the Chick-fil-A rezoning request will be held as part of the Dec. 16 Englewood City Council meeting, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in the council chambers on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center at 1000 Englewood Parkway. There also will be public hearing on an amendment to the subdivision associated with the same project. At the hearing, a city employee will present the proposal and the mayor will call up those who signed up to testify. Those tes-

tifying at the public hearing will be sworn in and their comments become part of the public record. The council’s normal policy is not to vote on second and final reading of a proposal on the same night as the public hearing. However, the agenda indicated the council could vote on second and final reading on these issues on Dec. 16. One public hearing is about the rezoning to a planned unit development necessary for the company’s proposal. The project would demolish the building at 3085 S. Broadway and two nearby houses on Acoma Street to create a 1.2-acre site that will become the location of the 4,600-squarefoot drive-thru restaurant and adjacent parking lot. The second public hearing is about the subdivision amendment involving the same area. A major aspect of the project involves

the building on Broadway that held the Funtastic Fun indoor amusement establishment from 1994 until the doors were closed in 2011. The site has remained vacant. Audra Kirk, Englewood planner, presented the proposal to the city council at the Dec. 2 meeting. She said the request to rezone the site as a planned unit development is necessary because the current MUB2 and MURA zoning doesn’t permit a drive-thru restaurant. “The Englewood Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the proposal on Nov. 5,” she told the council. “They forwarded the request to the council without conditions.” The proposal calls for a right-in, rightout entrance on Broadway and a full ac-

cess entrance on Acoma Street. Kirk said a traffic study predicted increased traffic on Acoma, but the traffic will be within the volume of traffic found on some other local streets. “The traffic study suggested lengthening some left-turn lanes on Broadway and Dartmouth and restricting parking on the east side of Acoma adjacent to the Chickfil-A property,” she said. “The proposal also would vacate a south portion of the alley between Acoma and Broadway and relocate the entrance and exit to the alley farther north on Acoma.” Kirk said the subdivision amendment is required as part of the project, particularly the vacation of the southern portion of the alley while creating a 90-degree turn that will take alley traffic onto the entrance into the restaurant from Acoma Street.

Road work finished on US Highway 85 New 4-lane stretch of Sante Fe Drive open By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Sante Fe Drive, from C-470 to Louviers, is now in that entire stretch a four-lane road

because of the recent completion of a 1.3mile section between Highlands Ranch and Louviers. The project, which cost $7.9 million and took almost 14 months to complete, also involved construction of two new bridges, new medians, curbs and gutters, a new storm drain system, detention ponds, landscaping and signing. Jody Allen, a project engineer for the

Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), told Colorado Community Media Dec. 9 that there weren’t any accidents during construction or major problems. Another positive: “One of the bridges provides passage for wildlife,” she said. Douglas County contributed $4 million toward the project and the state’s FASTER program contributed $2.4 million to the project, according to a past press release

from CDOT. The speed limit on US 85 in that section, reduced to 40 mph during construction hours, is now back up to 55. There is still more work to do. Allen said that U.S. 85 is about 15.2 miles long from Douglas County’s county line south to Meadows Parkway. About 8.5 miles of that is now four-lane road, with about 6.7 miles still to be done.

Are you drinking toilet water? Water-connection woes can cause human illness By Kristin Jones

I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS Feel like a nice cool glass of ice water? Before you take a sip, you might want to take a quick tour of your home. How’s the fill valve in your toilet? Do you have a vacuum breaker on your outside spigots? What about your boiler? Without the right plumbing bits and pieces in place, you could be at risk of drinking toilet water, sipping lawn fertilizers or slurping hazardous chemicals. If they aren’t protected, cross connections between the drinking water in your home and non-potable water sources can mean that dirty water gets mixed with the clean. It might take as little as a change in water pressure. And it’s not just in your home. Backflow can happen almost anywhere — from schools to restaurants to water treatment plants. A review of state records by I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS shows that throughout Colorado, hazardous cross connections rate among the most persistent public health risks in water distribution systems. I-News found that 30 percent of water providers inspected by the state since 2009 were found to be in violation for something related to cross connections or backflow — most often issues related to documenting or managing risks. And 9 percent of the water systems were found to have potentially hazardous cross connections. Among schools operating their own small water systems, inspectors found cross connection issues to be even more prevalent. Roughly 47 percent were found to be in some kind of violation of cross connection or backflow rules, while risky cross connections were found in 19 percent of the schools, according to a recent analysis by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. If left unchecked, these routine plumbing problems can make people sick.

Hospital had trouble

Last fall, 26 people at a medical facility in Colorado Springs fell ill after drinking water that tasted and smelled odd. The building, which includes Memorial Hospital’s surgery and wound care centers, shut down until an investigation by state public health authorities identified the probable culprit: a faulty connection between the drinking water and the ventilation, or HVAC, system. Propylene glycol — an ingredient in antifreeze — had been leaking into the pipes for three days, officials found. Investigators said other anti-corrosive chemicals may have gotten into the water, as well.

How to control cross connections A few simple steps can help protect your drinking water from contamination via backflow in your home. Hiring a backflow prevention technician or a licensed plumber is the best way to make sure your plumbing is safe. Faucets: Make sure the lower end of each faucet is at least an inch above the top edge of the sink or tub. Toilets: Lift the top of your toilet tank and look inside. Make sure the fill valve is at least an inch above the water. The bowl refill tube should also be above the water line. Boilers: Install a backflow preventer on your boiler. Otherwise, pressure from the boiler water — which is often treated with

hazardous anti-corrosion chemicals — may be pushed into the potable water line. Garden hoses: Install a vacuum breaker on each outside spigot. Never leave a hose submerged in a bucket, hot tub or swimming pool. Contaminants from the yard can be sucked back into your drinking water. If you’re using a Miracle-Gro nozzle or other add-on to your hose, unscrew it when you’re done using it. Without a backflow preventer in place, fertilizer or other chemicals can contaminate your water. Sprinklers: Install a vacuum breaker well above the ground and above the level of all sprinkler heads in your yard, to ensure that chemicals, fertilizer or pet waste aren’t pulled into your drinking water.

NexCore Properties, which manages the building, had no comment on the state’s findings. Paula Freund, a spokeswoman for Memorial Hospital, said she’s confident the water problem has been fixed. Fred Spengler is one of a few technicians in the state trained to find and fix cross connections in homes and businesses. In Colorado, he says, it’s often older homes that have problems, or those with special features like solar panels or heated driveways. But issues turn up in mundane places, too. “Lots of the cross connections have to do with toilets,” says Spengler.

would be tough to trace to its cause; it might be dismissed as a 24-hour bug. In some cases, the consequences can be serious. In Commerce City last year, Nick and Roxanne Cattaneo were awarded more than $900,000 from Aquakleen Products Inc. after their family’s sewer line was mistakenly connected to their drinking water during the installation of a water softener. Commerce City officials warned at the time that Aquakleen had installed water softeners at more than 100 households without a permit. Backflow from a household has the potential to pollute public water, too. A lawyer representing Aquakleen said the company had no comment.

Homes at risk A 2004 study conducted in Iowa by the University of Southern California’s Foundation for Cross Connection Control and Hydraulic Research found that nearly one in 10 homes had a direct connection to a health hazard — most often in the toilet, but also in heating and cooling systems, water softeners and outside spigots. Patrick Sylvester, the study’s project manager, said in an interview that he was surprised how many homes had faulty sewer connections — 14 of the 188 homes included in the study. Only 4 percent of the homes were fully protected from a direct or indirect cross connection, according to the USC report. “Most of the cross connections could be abated with a few dollars and a few minutes,” the study found, “but residents were unaware of the hazards existing in their own plumbing system.” As in larger water systems, faulty cross connections at home can cause health problems if a change in water pressure or a disruption to the water line coincides with an unprotected connection. In most instances, an illness caused by backflow

Thousands of illnesses From 1970 to 2001, according to the National Research Council, there were 12,000 reported illnesses from 459 instances of backflow. The number doesn’t catch unreported cases. “Because of the enormous range of contaminant sources involved, as well as the number of unprotected cross connections, backflow events collectively constitute the greatest potential health risk from distribution system contamination,” the National Research Council reported in 2006. In Colorado, state water quality inspectors periodically inspect larger water systems — which include anything from a school or a campground with its own well and filtration system, to a town or a city. Larger water systems like the city of Denver are required to keep records of the highest-hazard spots in their jurisdiction — places like the Denver Zoo, where the water district found in 2006 that water meant for washing down the lion’s den was mixed with employees’ drinking water. Nearly one in three water systems in the last five years has been dinged for failing to

keep adequate testing records or for other backflow-related problems. Most schools aren’t routinely tested by the state — it’s left to their water providers to mitigate the risks. But schools with their own wells have a poor record of compliance.

School is example

The water system that supplies Caliche School in the northeastern Colorado town of Iliff, for example, failed to install backflow preventers in the mop sink, the auto shop and the training room, state inspectors found during the most recent inspection in 2010. School officials say the backflow preventers are now in place, and the water system is being upgraded. Officials from the state public health department downplay the risks associated with backflow, emphasizing that water pollution from a bad connection depends on a lot of things going wrong at the same time — for instance, a pressure change, an absence of protection, and the presence of a harmful contaminant. “It is a potential risk, and it is something that we evaluate,” says Ron Falco, who manages the state’s safe drinking water program. “A cross connection by itself isn’t a contamination.” The state rarely punishes water providers solely for problems related to cross connections — even in cases of repeated problems. However, they acknowledge that the state regulations need updating — in part to offer more guidance to small, cashstrapped systems. After a salmonella outbreak in the southern Colorado city of Alamosa in 2008 that was unrelated to backflow, a team of investigators called for a series of reforms to prevent future incidents of waterborne illness, including updating state regulations related to cross connections. Four years after that report came out, however, the old rules are still in place. The outdated regulations don’t mention specific hazards to look out for — things like chemical laboratories, aircraft manufacturing facilities or mortuaries. They also don’t spell out specific backflow prevention methods or set testing standards. Falco, who was lead author of the 2009 report on Alamosa, says that the current rules don’t pose any risk to the public. He said that inspectors have stepped up surveillance of backflow-related risks since 2009, and expects to see improvements in water providers’ records. The new rules are expected to launch by January 2015. I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS and works collaboratively with news media throughout Colorado.

Amputee makes best of situation Fundraiser to help family with bills

HELP OUT HOFFSCHNEIDER

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Randy Hoffschneider started riding dirt bikes at age 5. Nationally ranked as a teenager, it was what he lived for. Today, an amputee in fear of losing even more of his right leg, his faith is his passion. At age 27, in June 2012, Hoffschneider was out riding at Thunder Valley MX Park in Morrison with a friend and launched himself off an 80-foot jump. It was just what Hoffschneider did. But this time, things didn’t go as planned. Riding on the same track the pros on the Lucas Oil circuit had just used for nationals weeks earlier, and on the same type of bike — a Kawasaki 450 — Hoffschneider came up about 3 feet short on his landing. Right away he knew something was seriously wrong. “I hit this jump in third gear, and was just wide open,” he said. “When I landed, I didn’t even fall. It just compressed so hard, both my feet were just purple because of the pegs. ... I knew everything was messed up at that point. It was bad.” Hoffschneider downshifted into first and rode straight to the pits, where his friend helped him off his bike and carried him to his vehicle and drove him home. “When I got to the doctor for surgery (the next day) I finally saw how bad it was,” he said. “The doctor took out my ankle and built it up with hardware. He put two plates and 13 screws in on the first surgery.” Hoffschneider had issues with the hard-

If you would like to help out Randy Hoffschneider and his family, a fundraiser is being held from 5-8 p.m. Dec. 15 at Floyd’s Barber Shop, 9325 Dorchester Street in Highlands Ranch, where Hoffschneider’s mother, Gina Ferguson works. The shop is staying open after hours for three hours, offering $20 haircuts with 100 percent of the money going to help pay for bills for the family. All 13 stylist chairs will be open. No credit card payments will be accepted — cash and checks only. ware, though, and after an infection took, he had to return to have it removed and have new screws and plates put in. “What could go wrong went wrong,” said Hoffschneider’s mother, Gina Ferguson. In the year and a half since the accident, Hoffschneider has battled countless staph infections and undergone five surgeries costing him and his family hundreds of thousands of dollars, despite having insurance to help them with some of the cost. On Oct. 4, Hoffschneider’s right leg was amputated below the knee. Six weeks later, he was supposed to be wearing a prosthetic in its place, but the former dirt biker ran into even more complications. His incision has opened up and the constant swelling has prevented him from getting his prosthetic yet, leaving him with the possibility of more surgery and potentially more amputation further up his leg in the near future. “It’s been a nightmare,” he said. “But I’m learning to value life. It has slowed me down and made me appreciate every day so much more. Every day, no matter who

Help during the holidays, and beyond Almost 13 percent of Coloradans live below the poverty level, according to the most recent figures from the U.S. Census Bureau. That’s better than the national rate of more than 14 percent, but it’s still much too high. This time of year, the thought of families not being able to put food on the table — much less purchase holiday gifts — can be particularly disturbing. Maybe it should be equally as unsettling year round, but during a season of joy, and often excess, for so many, the plight of the poor stands out as a cruel contrast. Fortunately, there are avenues to help. For example, Dec. 10 was Colorado Gives Day, the annual push to raise money for nonprofits, many of which help the poor. More than $15.4 million was raised in

our view 2012, and we hope an even bigger haul was brought in this year. One of the many nonprofits helped by the effort was the Douglas/Elbert Task Force. The Castle Rock-based organization exists to provide basic necessities, like food and rent assistance, to residents of Douglas and Elbert counties in need. We applaud them for their year-round work. Recently, we were given rare insight into the plight of some of those who sought help from the task force. Colorado Community Media reporter Virginia

What do you like best about the holidays? With Christmas just around the corner, we asked a few folks at Lone Tree’s Park Meadows shopping center what they like best about this time of year.

“Food. Anything German, green bean casserole and Christmas cookies. The food is like a present to me.” — Demi Rivera, Lone Tree

“Baking cookies, putting up Christmas lights, all the traditional activities.” — Alexis Shelton, Aurora

“It’s between the gifts and my family.” — Greg Cherabie, Centennial

“The decorations and the lights.” — Angelo Montanari, Denver

Get a haircut to get ahead Would you rather be alone, or not be alone but with one condition: You have to spend your time in bad company? Many of us would rather have companionship in a red-flag relationship, than have no relationship at all. I am not one of them. I currently have a five-year lease with Jennifer, but I spend most of my time in splendid isolation. (Jennifer lives somewhere else, with two of her three children, which is good for me. One of them needs to be driven to soccer, somewhere, on the hour. The other one would eat drywall if it had sauce on it. The kid will eat anything, and he is as skinny as a fishing rod.) Newspapers, magazines and television programs are filled with advice about hooking up with someone. I don’t think any of it really works. It’s all luck. Dating is as easy as pie. Anyone — anyone — can find someone to go out with once. The trick is to find someone you want to go out with twice, or who wants to go out with you twice. My best advice is simple. Get a haircut. Just about everyone needs a haircut. For one thing, this isn’t the Summer of Love. Please tell me what you think about this project of mine. There’s a very friendly woman who works in my grocery store. She stacks her hair like an undecided bird’s nest. The first time I saw her, I thought she had overslept, and just piled it up for the day. She piles it up every day. She needs someone to hairnap her, put her in the back of a car and take her to the nearest barbershop. This is what I am asking: Should I keep my mouth shut, or say something?

Grantier spent some time with the task force’s client service manager, Jenny Follmer. Grantier’s article, which appears this week in several Colorado Community Media publications as well as online, illustrates the very real stories of the less fortunate in a way statistics simply can’t. The two went over the files of 20 individuals and families who sought assistance on one day, and the article summarizes the needs of each applicant. It is as personal as it gets without names and faces. Even in the suburbs, this could be your neighbor, a friend in need. A small sampling: • “A Douglas County woman on disability, renter. Her ex-husband came back to Colorado with their three kids and then he left, and left the kids with her. She has

Broken records have a benefit Now I am not referring to breaking records like the most touchdowns thrown in a season, home runs hit in a career, or breaking the 3.43-minute mile. Nor am I referring to breaking other records recognized by Guinness World Records. The only record or recording that you may actually want to break is if I were to personally record a song, as I couldn’t carry a tune if it were strapped to my back. There would be true benefit to breaking that record for sure. You know the expression, “you sound like a broken record,” right? Well I am here to share with you that there are real benefits to sounding like a broken record. But then again there is the danger of being that broken record so often it begins to sound like a scratched record, nagging, and maybe even like nails on a chalkboard. We have to find the balance. For now, let’s focus on the benefits, sound fair? In many of my columns I focus on some consistent themes, words, or concepts and most if not all are characterized by a foundation of positive and encouraging intent. Some may say, and actually have accused me of sounding like a broken record when it comes to my constant promotion of showing gratitude, developing self-confidence, living with hope, the importance of staying positive, being optimistic, setting goals, and focusing on building winning relationships. Can I say thank you Zig Ziglar one more time? What we need to remember is that common sense is not always common practice, and that repetition holds its place as the “mother of learning,” the “father of success,” and even “the mother of skill.” So you see, there are many benefits to being a

9137 S. Ridgeline Blvd., Suite 210, Highlands Ranch, CO 80129 If I were to say something, I would try my best not to say, “What is wrong with your hair? Did your cat get into it?” I might say, “An attractive woman like you could use a more subtle hairstyle. Maybe one that didn’t look like you comb it with a blender.” No, that’s no good either. I’ll work on it. I have made arrangements to pay someone to cut her hair. I wonder if Bird’s Nest would be offended, or if she would be pleased that someone noticed and cared. Jennifer and I like to go to the airport and watch people, and keep track of haircuts - who needs one and who doesn’t. We have done this a number of times, and we have determined that 37 percent of the population at DIA needs a haircut. We are not the Rightful Arbiters. No one appointed us. But if someone is constantly swiping their hair, to get it out of their eyes, it’s an easy call: Get a haircut. If you still look like one of Dexys Midnight Runners, get a haircut.

Market-based insurance is way to go Obamacare was supposed to “bend the cost curve” when it comes to our nation’s spending on health care but the concerns from my constituents I’ve received in the last few months pertain to increases in health care insurance premiums and reduced benefits through much higher deductibles. One constituent from Aurora wrote: “I was notified by Kaiser Permanente that the current plan in which I am enrolled in will be canceled beginning Jan. 1, 2014, and I would need to enroll in another program. I have spent most of my morning reviewing the different plans, and the least expensive plan in which I can enroll is double the cost of my existing plan. I have selected the least expensive bronze plan which will cost me $543 per month. My previous plan cost me $266 per month.” Another from Brighton: “… our premiums increased by 50 percent, deductible increased by $500. Whereas before, we had reasonable co-payments for visits, now we have to reach our deductible before we can use an increased co-pay for a visit. No labs or diagnostics are included, so we are paying out of pocket for all of that. … we are paying more for less coverage.” Another from Highlands Ranch:

“With the changes that have occurred since this law has passed, I have seen my premiums go higher and higher. This year alone my premiums have increased by 81 percent. Now, how many of us are seeing an 81 percent increase in our incomes? As you know, managing an increase in expenses to that degree impacts everything else you do as an individual and business owner.” The Obama administration gave a waiver to members of Congress from having to purchase their health care plan through an insurance exchange without a taxpayer subsidy. Under the waiver, we are still required to get our health care insurance through a D.C. exchange but we are now permitted to retain the taxpayer subsidy to offset the cost. I decided to reject the subsidy because

dies to offset the full cost of their health insurance. However, I’m concerned about the middle-class families already struggling under a weak economy who will bear the full brunt of higher health care costs. In 2010, when Obamacare was passed, it was common knowledge that our health care system was in desperate need of reform. The cost of health care was simply too high and the ability to buy affordable health insurance was increasingly out of reach for too many families. Under then Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, alternative health care reform proposals, which there were many, were procedurally kept from coming to the floor for a vote. Unfortunately, I have no confidence that Obamacare will ultimately improve our health care system and I will continue to support patient-centered, marketbased approaches that will benefit all Americans.

I believe the plain text of Obamacare doesn’t give the authority for the Obama administration to exempt members of Congress from the law. In following the law, I purchased a new health insurance plan through our state’s insurance exchange as an individual without the taxpayer subsidy. My new plan is a PPO (preferred provider network) — just like my old plan — and it allows me to keep my same primary care physician. Under my current Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan (FEHBP), the premium cost is $599.63 per month ($186.14 from me with a taxpayer subsidy of $413.49) and under the new Rocky Mountain View PPO Bronze plan it’s $607.06 per month. However, like so many of the complaints I’ve received, it’s the difference in the co-pays and deductibles that’s so surprising. In my current plan I have a co-payment of $20 and a deductible of $350; under the new Obamacare plan I will have a copayment of $60, a deductible of $4,500, and I will pay an additional 40 percent up to $6,350. No doubt there will be winners and losers under Obamacare. The winners will be those enrolled in Medicaid or those who receive significant income-based subsi-

Road project Coach nears end Continued from Page 1

Staff report The long-standing cone zone at Belleview and University is about to be a free-flowing intersection once again, hopefully by Christmas. An announcement from the Colorado Department of Transportation stated a final push to complete the project was initiated on Dec. 8. The final work on the project — which began in June — is slated to involve lane closures, turn restrictions and delays. The initial portion of the work involved closing the left turn lanes from University Boulevard to eastbound and westbound Belleview Avenue. The turn lanes will remain closed for the duration of the project. The CDOT announcement stated the turn lane closure is necessary to complete work on the center portion of the intersection. Weather permitting, work on the final phase of the project is scheduled to go on 24 hours a day. There also may be times when crews will close northbound University Boulevard. All construction on the intersection is scheduled to be complete by Dec. 24.

sons both on and off the field. Coach Griebel has been the face of Heritage and the Heritage football program for more than 30 years. Coach Griebel is a coach that goes beyond his responsibilities as a highschool head coach. Coach Griebel builds fine young men with character who have come together as a team to play football to honor their school.” District officials say coaching decisions are made at the school level, but neither Heritage’s principal nor athletic director could be reached for comment. “Coaching changes occur every year in every school at all levels,” said Diane Leiker, director of communications for Littleton Public Schools. “Coaching positions are year-to-year supplemental assignments and are not part of a teaching position.” Griebel graduated from Cherry Creek High School and went to college at the University of Northern Colorado. He did his student teaching at Heritage and has been coaching football at the school in one capacity or another since the early 1980s. Griebel was named head coach in 1995.

“As I said, this is a sad time, so I try to remember all the good things,” he said. “I finish as the Eagles football coach with the most wins, I was named coach of the year six times and I was fortunate that our team won the state title in 2009.” The Eagles moved up in classification to 5A in the years since that championship and haven’t found the same kind of success. Heritage finished this past season 5-5

after falling to Mountain Range in the first round of the playoffs — a game in which Griebel’s son Mikey, a freshman quarterback, accounted for a pair of touchdowns. But Griebel’s impact clearly went beyond the win-loss columns. Many who left comments on the petition speak highly of Griebel’s integrity, calling him a leader and mentor who was a positive influence on students on and off the field. “Coach Griebel taught me how to be a man not only on the football field, but in every aspect of my life,” wrote Gus Nemechek of Littleton. “He went out of his way to encourage me and many others to succeed in school, sports, and was always a positive role model for everyone in the community. I honestly do not know where I would be without his influence.” Griebel said he heard about the efforts to get the school to reverse its position and said he appreciates the community support. But some parents who signed the petition aren’t sure their opinions will be valued. “I’m upset to see that Heritage administration made such a rash decision,” wrote Modesta Martinez of Centennial. “If our opinions are so valued, please hear us when we say we don’t want a new coach and wish our opinions would have been taken into consideration when making this decision.”

lives in Littleton, and they were looking forward to being able to connect again once the new camera was ready.” The site averages 87 visits per day, with visitors spending about 2 ½ minutes at a time. The most visits it got on one day this year was on Feb. 24, with 396. To check out the weather or how much traffic is on Main Street before driving home, visit www.littletongov.org and look for “Cupola Cam II” under the Community tab at the top of the page. The cam has become so popular as a way to keep in visual touch with out-oftown friends and relatives that the city created an “Official Cupola Cam Greeting Site” at the bottom of the courthouse steps. So, if you see people in party hats holding a “Happy Birthday” banner and waving at the cupola, don’t worry, they don’t have bats in their belfries. But the cupola itself has been known to

harbor a few. It’s a scary but very cool place where the cam sits, and those who scale the steep, dark and narrow wooden staircase are rewarded with an amazing view and a real sense of history. The courthouse was built in 1907, three years after voters chose Littleton as the Arapahoe County seat. Etched deeply into the cupola’s wall boards are things like “E.W. `18” — might E.W. have been in Littleton High School’s Class of 1918? Or might he or she have been the one to drape the fading red, white and blue bunting over the stairwell after some fair in days of yore? In the dusty corner are replacement bulbs for the Christmas lights around the outside of the cupola, purchased with proceeds from the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce’s annual Haunts of Littleton Ghost Walk. Visiting the cupola gives that a whole new sense of appropriateness.

the letter Below is the text of a letter sent to “Heritage Football Families.” The letter, dated Dec. 5, was signed by Heritage High School Principal Stacey Riendeau and Athletic Director Brock Becker. “As many of you may have heard, Mike Griebel is no longer coaching for Heritage High School. He has formally retired from his teaching career at the end of the current school year, as well. Mike has had a long, successful teaching and coaching career here at Heritage, and we sincerely thank him for his dedication and service to the students, parents and larger Heritage community. We wish him all the best in his retirement. “We will begin our search for a new coach in the upcoming weeks, and we will send you information about our next steps and how you as a parent or a student athlete can be involved in the process. As always, you may contact either of us via email if you have questions or concerns.”

Littleton resident sets up journey for 2014 By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Aix-en-Provence, Arles, Luberon, Marseille, Orange, Palermo, Agrigento, Siracusa, Taormina and more … Travelers interested in art and architectural history will find “food for the soul” on a daily basis as they embark on a tour offered May 17 to June 4 by veteran traveler Christine Khorsand of Littleton. Khorsand taught at Arapahoe Community College from 1991 to 2011 (French, Spanish, art history). And starting in 1993, she arranged summer art-related, faculty-led study trips to France and Italy for students and others. Tour members could paint, take photographs, study art history and French in various combinations, in various years — at various locations. When she retired, she started her own company: Christine’s Travels. ACC art professor Susan Goggins, who was on many of those trips, will be the art history lecturer in 2013. Many previous trips began, as this one does, with time in Aix-en-Provence, where Khorsand grew up — a city related to the others she plans to visit by reflecting thousands of years of accumulated layers of culture. One finds Roman and Greek ruins (an ancient theater is retrofitted to host jazz concerts), Medieval and Renaissance, Classical and Baroque and the landscapes that attracted the famous painters: Van Gogh, Cezanne, Picasso and more… Field trips by bus will visit surrounding points of interest,

while travelers will stay in Aix for eight nights. Next, a flight from Marseille will carry travelers to Palermo in Sicily for touring from May 25 to June 4, with stays at several different towns — and travel again by private bus. Sicily also has been home to dozens of civilizations, which have left a mark. Khorsand said she had not been there previously and she just returned from an extended visit, where she determined a route, visited ancient cultural sites, towns and prospective hotels and arranged for bus transportation — and built her level of excitement about its wonders. The estimated cost is $3,300, based on double occupancy, assuming the price of the euro doesn’t change dramatically. A deposit of $1,000 will be due by Jan. 15, 2014, so she can reserve hotels and transportation. That amount does not include round trip airfare from Denver to Marseille (probably about $1,000), but Khorsand will be happy to assist with the numerous choices. She thinks some people might want to spend some time in Paris before or after this excursion, for example, and she can help with arrangements. The limit would be 20 travelers, she says, and a minimum of 12 is needed for it to work financially. It might be possible to do one segment or the other as long as the minimum is covered. For more information, contact Khorsand at 720-261-8452, ckhorsand@msn.com

Handmade gifts add spice to holidays Unique items are offered by artists, craftsmen By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over, shoppers might consider some close-to-home locations that sell items created by local artists and craftsmen. No two pieces of art are exactly alike, but all are created with great pride and skill. And these colorful, inviting places are relaxed, casual and fun to visit. We cite a few ongoing, year-round shops and galleries, rather than short-term artisan markets (which we also recommend.) In Littleton: • Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave., is housed in a historic 1881 Santa Fe Railroad depot that served Littleton when early rail lines came to town. During the U.S. bicen-

In the Depot Art Gallery’s baggage room, an array of handmade gifts are available. Photo courtesy of Dustin Ellingboe tennial celebration, the depot was turned into an art gallery through a major effort by the Littleton Fine Arts Guild, with community support. It is owned and maintained by the City of Littleton and operated by members of the Littleton Fine Art Guild, who volunteer. For the holidays each year, it schedules “The Holiday Express,” a show/sale of crafts and small fine arts by members and invited artists. Here

one will find whimsical rotund ceramic critters, glass art, tree decorations, note cards, angels, animal wall plaques for a child’s room, scarves, jewelry, photographs (I especially liked an egret) and inexpensive matted paintings and prints. Open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. 303-7950781. • The Pottery Gallery Studio, 5739 S. Curtice St., is operated by potter Kim Louise Glidden

in a former Buick dealership garage in historic downtown Littleton. She represents more than 50 artists, including potters, sculptors, metal workers, jewelry makers and painters. 303-738-2275. • Willow — an Artisans Market, 2400 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton, is operated by Helen Rice. It represents more than 200 artists — most from Colorado — who create jewelry, pottery, garden art, greeting cards, clothing, accessories, glassware, paintings and prints. 303-730-8521. In Castle Rock: • Art on the Edge, 314 Wilcox St., is run by the Greater Castle Rock Art Guild, open Tuesdays through Sundays, which has a range of paintings, artwork called “Small Packages” (not larger than 12”x12”) and other gift items made by members. Also on exhibit: “Everything Watercolor” with works by Paul Valdez and Marcia Ames. 303814-3300. We will be interested in learning from readers about more locations in our south suburbs that feature original, locally created arts and crafts such as these.

Radio talk show conservative Mike Rosen, who turned 69 Dec. 5, is taking his show to a slightly different time slot beginning Jan. 2. “KOA (850 AM) is about the only station in the country that delays Rush (Limbaugh) two hours,” Rosen told me on his birthday. “The parent company of Clear Channel decided to (air) Rush live from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. `The Colorado Morning News’ show with Stefan (Tubbs) and April (Zesbaugh) will move to 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and become five hours instead of four.” Changing the `Rush Limbaugh Show’ to live time left Rosen with the 1 to 3 p.m. time slot after working a 9 a.m. to noon spot. “I understand and it’s fine with me,” Rosen told me. “I’m on the air one less hour, which makes me on the air five hours less a week. But with show prep (answering emails, contacting advertisers, etc.), I still work 70 hours a week. So many people listen to my show online, so for them nothing will change.” Rosen said his contract with Clear Channel lasts another 1½ years, then he’ll see what happens. “I take it one contract at a time,” he said.

Manning minds manners

Perhaps the sure way to secure an autograph from Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is to invite him to your wedding. Sounds more tidy than playing the postgame waiting game or bidding beaucoup bucks on a signed jersey during a charity auction. In the case of Anna and James, a couple with a wedding last fall, all they had to do was send No. 18 a formal invitation, according to a post on Reddit. A photo of the signed invite went viral after a Redditor “Lackadaisical Romp” posted the pic of the wedding invitation sent by his sister. Not only did Manning show his Southern gentlemanly manners by responding in a timely manner, but he checked off the “regretfully decline” box and added the inscription, “Anna and James, Best Wishes.” A Yahoo.com poster quipped, “Perhaps our favorite comment about the photo comes courtesy of Redditor `MasterSplinter21’ who writes, `Eli (Manning) replied too, but his response was intercepted.’ Even with two Super Bowl rings and the Giants’ current winning streak, poor Eli still gets treated like the little brother.”

Christkindl returns

Denver’s 13th annual Christkindl Market at Skyline Park on the 16th Street Mall and Arapahoe (across from the D&F Tower and ice skating rink) brings a German flair to Christmas shopping and entertainment through Dec. 21. This year’s market — Colorado’s largest and most authentic Christkindl venue — will be bigger and better than ever by adding more music, more beer and Gluehwein (mulled red wine), entertainment and more holiday spirit. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Penny Parker’s “Mile High Life” column gives insights into the best events, restaurants, businesses, parties and people throughout the metro area. Parker also writes for Blacktie-Colorado.com.

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “About half a dozen regular customers leaned on the bar in Murphy’s Denver Saloon … as good as any spot to spend the hot summer morning …” Then two angry men stormed in and a fight ensued over the attentions both had paid to a lady of the night, a “soiled dove.” At about that time, Andrew Coyle, Esq., a newly minted lawyer from Philadelphia, arrived by train and saw policemen escorting a prisoner along the street. He took the cable car to 17th and Larimer Streets and headed for the classy Windsor Hotel … Familiar names of buildings and businesses add to the fun of solving a mystery. Before he embarked on writing “Murder in the Rockies,” author G. Eldon “Gary” Smith had read a great deal of Denver history, circa 1890 — books by Tom Noel, Phil Goldstein and especially “Hell’s Belles: Prostitution and Vice in Early Denver” by Clark Secrest. (The third-generation Longmont native, who now lives in Centennial, notes that Secrest was two classes ahead of him at Longmont High School. ) “As I was doing my research about early days in Colorado, I kept coming across the year 1890 as a time when many events took place. It soon became apparent that my novel was going to take place in 1890. I put down the basic premise and the beginning and end of my novel and let the characters tell their own story. Many characters I had not forseen entered the story and changed the plot. I just used spell check and left the story up to the characters.” And he has a grand assortment of characters — some we have read about in history books and others who are figments of Smith’s imagination. They actually are reasonably well under the author’s control most of the time. They cross paths in downtown Denver — described as it was then, visit restaurants and bars and courtrooms. Coyle defends a rancher accused of murdering a miner, although Coyle is convinced of his innocence. Smith said he had visited all the loca-

Murder in the Rockies” by G. Eldon Smith is a murder mystery set in 1890s Denver and nearby mountain communities. Courtesy photo tions mentioned in the novel — some during Tom Noel’s and Dennis Gallagher’s historic walking tours/lectures. Coyle had to do a quick study on Colorado statutes and had to figure out how to locate the actual murderer of Henry Defler, since he was certain his first client, Will Conway, was innocent — unfortunately, he had been heard to threaten Defler in that opening bar scene and most in town considered him guilty. The reader travels with the young attorney to Idaho Springs and up into mining country in search of the truth and Smith describes the dry, dusty, rutted roads and miner’s claims as we encounter other guntoting characters. Coyle Esq. finally figures it out in Sherlockian manner, outwitting the murderer. “Murder in the Rockies” by G. Eldon Smith is available at all Tattered Cover stores in a $15.95 trade paperback. It would fit well in a scene with a big cozy chair and a cup of hot cocoa.

Dwyer behind Lone Tree show Many area theater fans will remember Paul Dwyer from the late, lamented Country Dinner Play House, where he acted, directed and produced more than 100 productions over many years, according to a reprint of a 2008 Denver Post story. He is now working with Starkey Theatrix and will direct a return performance to Lone Tree Arts Center of “Home for the Holidays,” which he worked with last season as well.

The production runs Dec. 12-22, with evening and matinee performances. Lone Tree Arts Center is located at 10075 Commons Street, Lone Tree.

Englewood honors calendar artists 13 students’ works chosen for 2014 By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Friends, relatives, teachers and school officials filled most available seats for the Dec. 2 meeting as the Englewood City Council honored the 13 students who had their works of art selected to be used in the city’s 2014 calendar. “This is an annual event we like to celebrate,” Mayor Randy Penn said. “It is our opportunity to thank not only the artists but their parents who supported them and the teachers who helped them develop their talents.” Each student was called up individually. Each artist was given his or her artwork, framed and matted along with several gifts, plus they got to shake hands with the members of the city council. The first student honored was Billie Dornfeldt, a third-grader at Clayton Elementary School. Her drawing was selected as the cover for this year’s calendar. “I drew a snow globe with a snowman looking up at snowflakes,” the girl said as

she and her family prepared to leave. “It was fun drawing this because I like to draw at school and when I am at home.” The artists were honored in the order their art was used in the calendar, from January to December. Each work of art is displayed as a full page in the calendar. The other students and the schools they attend are: Tess Bray, East High School; Jamie Valdez, Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School; Vincent Pino, Clayton Elementary School; Emilee Cirbo, Clayton Elementary School; Alize Galvan, Englewood High School; Russell Watson, Charles Hay World School; Jake Hurtado, All Souls School; Isaiah Mendez, Cherrelyn Elementary School; Aushia Davis, Englewood Middle School; Sophie Castro, All Souls School; Shawn Michaelis, Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School; and Dominic Priefert, Clayton Elementary School. This is the 14th year Englewood has had a student calendar art contest. Olga Wolosyn, late Englewood mayor, was one of those who fostered the idea of using student art in the calendar. “Olga was the inspiration for this project,” said Leigh Ann Hoffhines, the city’s communications specialist, who oversees the calendar project. “We always honor all

Dornfeld and the other 12 calendar art contest for student winners were honored at the Dec. 2 city council meeting. Photo by Tom Munds the sponsors who help make the calendar possible. Well, Olga’s mother Bernice always sends us a check every year for the project in memory of her daughter.” Hoffhines said this year’s contest drew more than 150 entries. A committee spent

quite a few hours selecting the top 50 art works. Thirteen of the top 50 art works have been used as full-page displays in this year’s calendar. However, smaller pictures of the other 36 works will also be included in the calendar.

Colorado’s Energy Resources Advanced at Colorado - Texas Energy Day in Houston Colorado has a rich and varied history in the extraction of natural resources. Fossil fuels are a natural resource which have recently seen a huge increase in development throughout the state due to advances in technology and increased global demand. At the forefront of this new mineral wealth is the production of shale oil available through new horizontal drilling and fracturing technologies. In November, the Houston chapter of the American Petroleum Institute (API) paid homage to Colorado as a key state for future oil & gas production and the South Metro Denver Chamber played a major role in the proceedings. Colorado - Texas Energy Day at the Petroleum Club of Houston included oil & gas vendor exhibits, an oil & gas executive roundtable, and the API luncheon moderated by Chamber President and CEO John Brackney with over 300 oil & gas executives present, including a contingent of South Metro Denver Chamber leaders. Sponsored by CAP Logistics, the Chamber delegation included Jacob Lorenz (Risk and Chance), Jim McGrath (Studley), Tom Wood (Willbros Construction), Torie Brazitis (City of Lone Tree), Howard Dieter (Rettew Associates), Dan Killeen (RK Mechanical), Andrew Casper (Colorado Oil and Gas Association), Jason Hallmark (Hallmark Photos), Patty Rodvold (WhippleWood CPAs), Gayle Dendinger (CAP Logistics), Emily Haggstrom (CAP Logistics), John Boner (CAP Logistics), Detlev Simonis (CAP Logistics), and Nancy Vorderstrass (CAP Logistics), Jeff Holwell (COO, South Metro Denver Chamber), John Brackney (President and CEO, South Metro Denver Chamber) and Colleen Schwake (South Metro Denver Chamber). Keynote speakers for the luncheon were Bob Fryklund, Chief Upstream Strategist for IHS and Jerry Eumont, Managing Director-Consulting, Energy & Natural Resources for IHS. Fryklund spoke on Colorado’s Energy, an Unconventional Renaissance, and Eumont spoke on the continued leadership of Texas in the industry. Throughout the day, the Colorado delegation met with several local oil & gas executives allowing them to focus on the state’s future in energy production. “This event was a great opportunity for the Chamber to showcase Colorado and a major South Metro Denver employer to the oil & gas

community of Texas. We were honored to be leading this effort in promoting our state to such an influential audience,” said Chamber COO and Director of Economic Development, Jeff Holwell. “Our CEO John Brackney and board member Gayle Dendinger of CAP Logistics were able to advocate on behalf of Colorado as a place to do business. Despite the politics of oil & gas fracturing, we are a strong energy state and we are open for business.” “Colorado has the opportunity to become a major player in the oil shale revolution and it will become an important economic driver for the state. The Chamber is honored to continue our collaboration with the energy industry. We will persist in our recruitment and advocacy and build Colorado’s energy portfolio including fossil fuels and renewable energy.”

MSU Denver Establishes Dual Enrollment Nursing Partnership with Community Colleges In an effort to establish new cost-effective education alternatives for Colorado nursing students, Metropolitan State University of Denver has partnered with Arapahoe Community College (ACC) and Front Range Community College (FRCC) to offer a dual-enrollment option that enables students to graduate in four years with a bachelor of science degree in nursing (BSN). “Employers are showing a hiring preference for graduates who have a BSN degree,” says Linda Stroup, associate chair of the MSU Denver Department of Nursing. “This initiative provides students with one of the most efficient and cost-effective pathways in the metro area for securing a bachelor’s degree in nursing.” In 2010, the Institute of Medicine issued a report recommending that the proportion of nurses with baccalaureate degrees increase from 50 to 80 percent by 2020. Based on projected nursing retirements and current graduation rates from Colorado universities, there is work to be done to address that goal, Stroup says. The RN-BSN dual-enrollment initiative will allow students to complete certain BSN elective credits at MSU Denver while finishing the required prerequisite courses from the nursing programs at their designated home school―ACC or FRCC. Once students complete their associate degrees in nursing and have accumulated 79 combined prerequisite credits, they will transition to MSU Denver to complete their BSN coursework. “We are excited about the partnership with MSU Denver and the pathway we are creating for ACC nursing students to achieve a BSN degree,” says Geri Rush, ACC director of nursing. “South metro area hospitals such as Sky Ridge Medical Center and Littleton Adventist Hospital have expressed great enthusiasm for the program and potential for clinical placements in these hospitals.” One unique advantage of the dual-enrollment program is the ability for students to secure financial aid toward classes taken at both the community college and MSU Denver. The home school will disburse financial aid for both institutions simultaneously. Previously under other similar arrangements, federal financial aid rules dictated aid could be applied only to a student’s home school coursework.

— hopefully in Fort Collins and maybe Boulder. This year, they performed Dec. 12 at Stargazers Theatre in Colorado Springs. They think they are better than Mannheim Steamroller, with which they have been compared. With 14 members, they can produce a full sound or “take it down a notch,” depending on the song they’re performing, Dave said. The special sound could be related to inclusion of some unusual instruments: Tina Gugler is a U.S. National hammered dulcimer champion and Eric Olson is well known for his performances on Uillean pipes. Dave Villano plays an Irish pennywhistle, electric violin, guitar, Uillean pipes and more. Ed Villano plays a stumpf fiddle. Band member Dave Beegle, once Villano’s guitar teacher, was named “Best Independent Guitarist of the Year” by Guitar Player magazine. Villano was also enthused about new vocalist Devan Jones, an “American Idol” contestant who is “filled with charisma, energy, soul …” He said he tries to find the best possible local talent and found James by googling “American Idol, Denver.” Vocalist Taylor Jordan was also an “American Idol” contestant. The band’s music is described as “traditional, Celtic, and contemporary holiday music … running the full gamut of musical experience … from classical to folk, rock and everything in between.” That should please most family members.

“This creates a seamless transfer for our students, especially those on financial aid,” said Sandy Veltri, FRCC associate vice president for student and academic services. “Together with our current associateto-bachelor’s degree partnership with MSU Denver, this new initiative creates even more opportunities for students.” “There is a national focus to help students better ensure academic credit transfers and we want to give students as many options as possible to obtain their degree in an efficient and cost-effective manner,” says Eric Dunker, MSU Denver Extended Campus director. “We have more than 100 courses to meet BSN general studies requirements, with classes available at multiple campuses, online or hybrid alternatives to meet each student’s needs.” MSU Denver will provide students with academic advisors to help them choose electives that will allow for degree completion in four years. Current students can access the program immediately, and the official rollout for new students will begin in Spring 2014. In addition to taking classes at MSU Denver’s primary downtown Denver campus, the University offers students satellite campus locations in Greenwood Village and Northglenn. For more information about the program visit http://www. msudenver.edu/nursing/programinformation/dualenrollment/ This program complements MSU Denver’s existing baccalaureatelevel nursing program in the Department of Health Professions, which also houses academic programs in gerontology, heath care management, human nutrition and dietetics, integrative therapies and recreation professions. MSU Denver’s baccalaureate nursing program has received full reaccreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), formerly the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). At its July 2013 meeting, the Board of Commissioners granted continuing accreditation to the program for eight years, the maximum time allowed. The first post-baccalaureate students graduated from MSU Denver’s medical laboratory science program in June 2013. The program was previously operated by the Colorado Health Foundation and is now managed by MSU Denver’s Extended Campus.

EaglEs losE opEnEr on icE Columbine gets one-goal win over youthful Heritage By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Heritage ice hockey coach Jeremy Sims expects a challenging season due to his team’s youth, and despite a solid performance Dec. 7 the Eagles opened the season with a 3-2 loss to Columbine. “We do have a few players back from last year but none of them got a whole lot of varsity experience because, last season, we were basically a senior-dominated team,” Sims said before the Dec. 7 game. “We have talented players and we are working to mesh as a unit.”

The game was a battle from the opening faceoff. Players from both teams aggressively went after every loose puck and the effort to take control of the puck regularly resulted in fierce body checks. The first period ended in a scoreless tie, but Heritage got on the board first in the second. The Rebels countered with backto-back goals to lead 2-1 at the end of the period. Each team added a goal in the third. Josh Mazar and Jason McGregor each scored a goal for the Eagles while Sam Appleby, Chad Curd and McGregor were credited with assists. Andrew Nash, the starting Eagles goalie, said he chose to be between the pipes because he feels it is the most important position on the team. “My training is to have people throw

things at (me) then adjust (my) mind to the mental game,” he said. “Shots are tough. I guess the toughest shot to stop is a slap shot in close to the goal.” He plays lacrosse but he doesn’t play goalie. “My goals for this season are to help our team win a state championship and then go on to win a national championship,” he said. Returning defender Remi Martin said she got interested in hockey when she saw her brother playing hockey when they were skating on Evergreen Lake. “I wanted to play hockey like my brother,” she said. “Then I got better than he was and he quit.” The Heritage senior, who will play college hockey at Penn State on scholarship, said she she likes playing defense.

“It is like being the quarterback for the team,” she said. “I spent the offseason working to improve as a hockey player. The coaches say the difference in my play this season is like night and day. I believe that is because I worked with a coach to get stronger and faster plus I trained with the Colorado Thunderbirds. Training with some of the best hockey players in the state has made me a better player.” The Eagles — a team comprised of players from Heritage, Arapahoe and Littleton — return to the ice Dec. 12 on the road against Doherty and will be at home Dec. 14 for a 6:30 p.m. game against Dakota Ridge. Heritage plays its home games at the Ice Ranch, 841 Southpark Drive in Littleton.

Bruins take team title at tournament Cherry Creek tops Arapahoe at Warrior Invitational By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Cherry Creek amassed the points needed to edge rival Arapahoe and 11 other schools, earning the team title at the Dec. 7 Warrior Invitational Tournament. The Bruins and Warriors are traditional rivals and battled it out again this year for the 37th team title in the tournament’s long history at Arapahoe High School. Bruins coach Steve Luhring said his team is strong with 10 seniors in the lineup. “We have a lot of kids coming back plus some of last year’s JV wrestlers who are stepping up for us,” he said during a break in last Saturday’s action. “We are good up and down the weight divisions. This is a good early tournament because we get a lot of mat time and get to see a lot of good opponents.” Warriors coach Steve Sisler said he was

excited about having a lot of depth to play around with this year, and that he has the largest turnout in team history with 75 athletes out for the team. “We are enthusiastic and competitive,” he said after the quarterfinals. “We have a number of returning seniors who will help anchor our team this season so we should be pretty good. I have seen some good things from our wrestlers so far and I’ve seen some things we will be working on.” As Sisler Spoke, Arapahoe was leading the team standings with 103.5 points, 1.5 points ahead of Cherry Creek. But, when the championships were decided in all weight divisions, the Bruins had earned seven titles and had four other wrestlers place, helping them capture the team title with 258 points. The Warriors battled hard and, while they didn’t win any weight divisions at the tournament, they had a dozen wrestlers place, earning them enough points to take runner-up honors with 225 points. Lakewood finished third in the team standings with 173 points.

The Mustangs hold the state record by winning eight consecutive state championships. The Mustangs, who were the Class 5A runners-up last season, will be seeking their 20th consecutive Continental League title in the 2013-14 campaign and will be attempting to stretch a streak of 160 straight league dual meet victories. “We lost dual meets but they have been outside of the league,” explained former wrestling coach Tim Ottmann, who is now the Mustangs’ athletic director. “We had some really good teams in the early ‘90s

You talk about teams that have to rebuild and we just reloaded with incoming talent. No team wants to be the one that loses a dual meet. It’s important to them.

Grizzlies girls top two top-five teams Arapahoe finishes fourth in tourney By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com It’s not often a basketball team can score only two points in a quarter and still win the game. But that was the case for the ThunderRidge girls Dec. 7 in a 49-40 win over Rock Canyon as the two schools played in the championship game of the ThunderRidge/ Rock Canyon season-opening basketball tournament. ThunderRidge opened a 33-23 lead at intermission and made all six of its 3-point baskets in the first half, including a buzzer beater by Brittany Birdsey

to end the opening half. The Grizzlies managed just two points as the teams exchanged offense for defense in the third quarter. However, Rock Canyon scored just five points to just trim ThunderRidge’s lead to seven points. A 7-0 run to begin the final quarter pushed ThunderRidge ahead by 14 points and wrapped up the title in the tournament that featured four teams ranked in the Top 10 of the Class 5A CHSAANow preseason rankings. “We’ve been working very hard on the offensive piece, executing that and some of those kinds of things against different defenses, and I thought our kids in the first half did a good job,” said ThunderRidge coach Paula Krueger.

School Wrestling Coach of the Year, ranks second in best dual meet record at one school (125-12) and first in best dual meet career record (170-22). After the 2008 season, Ottmann handed over the reins of the Ponderosa program to Corey McNellis. “It’s been really fun to build it over the years and hand it over to Corey,” said Ottmann. “It has been a dream come true. I’m really proud of it and want to see it continue. “My son Jake wrestled for me and he graduated in 2008. The last match I ever coached was my son in the finals, which was really cool. But Jake and I had decided. He graduated and I turned it over. I coached for 25 years and that was enough.”

“We shot really well from the 3-point line.” Taylor Rusk had 11 points to lead the Grizzlies against the Jaguars. The 5-foot-10 sophomore scored 41 points in the three tournament games. ThunderRidge, ranked eighth in the opening poll, cruised to a lopsided victory over Arvada West, 57-4, and whipped No. 3 Arapahoe 46-29 before beating No. 5 Rock Canyon in the title game. Arapahoe finished fourth in the tournament. The Warriors whipped Doherty 66-28 in the first game but lost to Arapahoe and then turnovers and poor shooting were costly in a 42-28 setback to Ralston Valley in the third-place game. No. 9 Cherry Creek took fifth, losing its first game

61-57 in overtime to Ralston Valley but responded with 52-32 triumph over Rangeview and a 68-18 romp over Arvada West. Molly Rohrer, a 6-foot-1 junior, led the Bruins with 65 points in the three games. “It was a good tournament,” said Bruins coach Chris Curneen. “They were a lot of good teams in it. It was good for us because we’re young. We have four freshmen on the varsity and it’s always good to get them a little experience without the pressure. They’ll get enough pressure once the regular season begins.” In other action including South Metro top 10 teams, No. 2 Highlands Ranch went 3-1 in the Sweet 16 Invitational in La Jolla, Calif. after a 62-40 season-opening win over Palmer on Dec. 2.

In McNellis’ first season as head coach, Ponderosa almost lost a league dual meet. The Mustangs and Chaparral tied 33-33 but Ponderosa won on criteria by winning eight of the 14 matches. McNellis and his wrestlers feel the Continental winning streak provides a motivation. “It motivates them the way that we present it,” said McNellis. “Every team is different. It gives them confidence that the coaches know what they are doing and the program is a well-run machine that they need to buy into and if they do, they are going to have success. “We really set our goals higher to do well at the national and state level and then the league stuff kind of falls in place.” Ponderosa has crowned 35 individual state champions and 10 wrestlers earned All-America honors. “It’s the program and not just the

team,” added McNellis. “If we can get them bought in, then that’s when you reload instead of rebuild. “Success breeds success. When they build confidence it helps them. We also build our schedule so we see top competition during the year. You have to build your schedule so it’s tough so you see the best.” McNellis is one of several combinations of brothers who have wrestled for Ponderosa and won state titles. Dylan Gabel, the defending 170-pound state champion, and Kade Snider are two Mustangs with brothers who captured state crowns and are on the current Ponderosa team. “It’s really cool,” said Ottmann. “We’ve had multiple brothers come through, in some cases like the Snider family they have six or seven in the family and of course Kade is still with us. It’s been a real good long tradition of family. They have come through.”

FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 11, 2013

GALLERY OF GAMES

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Your Arian penchant for impatience shows, as you consider passing a problem-prone project on to someone else. Best advice: Stay with it and work out those snarls yourself. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Even patient Bovines can be frustrated when carefully made plans go awry. But crank up that “stick-to-it-ivity” you do so well, and you’ll soon find that your schedule is back in sync.

& weekly horoscope

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your aspect favors using more resourceful means in dealing with a workplace situation. Some discreet checking around could help shed light on the root cause of the problem.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You show an unusually strong streak of stubbornness in rejecting suggestions from friends and/or family members early in the week. But you become more receptive by the week’s end. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) The Big Cat might find a gentler approach more effective when dealing with those who resist needed changes. Remember, the word “persuasion” starts with the sound “purr.” VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A disappointing experience with someone you felt you could trust can be painful. But there just might be more to this situation than you’re aware of. Press for an explanation. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Changing your views about something you believe in isn’t easy. But you might reconsider as the facts come in. Keep your mind open, even if you’re uneasy about what you might learn. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You might have to do some serious shifting of gears to get your project back on track. But cheer up. Your hard work starts to produce some positive results by the week’s end. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) An unsettling mood at the start of the week soon lifts and gives way to a more positive attitude as you find fun and friendship beginning to dominate your aspect. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A delay in firming up holiday plans could work to your advantage. Use this time to scout out possibilities that might be more in line with what those close to you would prefer. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Some people might question some of the new friends you’ve welcomed into your life. But your ability to see beyond the obvious helps you recognize how special they are. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Financial matters can be especially tricky this week. It’s best to follow a conservative investment path for now, and wait for a more fortuitous time to take a bolder approach. BORN THIS WEEK: Your warmth, your humor and your genuine concern for others make you someone people love to keep close to their lives. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
