South suburbia taps into craft beer trend

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com National statistics show most Americans now live within 10 miles of a brewery. For those residing along the C-470 corridor, the drive is soon to get a lot shorter than that.

Four new microbreweries will open in south suburban Denver during the first few months of 2014, and at least two others say they have solid plans but still are zeroing in on sites. The biggest of them all — Breckenridge Brewery — plans a

spring 2015 opening of its 12-acre Santa Fe Drive complex.

The establishments under construction extend from Highland’s Ranch’s eastern border with Lone Tree to just beyond its western border, all two miles or less from C-470. They join a couple of existing microbreweries already garnering strong local support.

South suburbia’s newest brewers say the area’s been underserved, and it’s a gap they’re happy to fill.

And if the Boulder-based American Brewers Association is right, many more

will come.

“Today, we have 2,700 breweries in the United States,” spokeswoman Julia Hearst said.

Of those, 98 percent are small, independent, craft businesses.

“In addition to that, the Brewers Association on record nationally has 1,700 in planning,” she said. “There is room for exponential growth. And there’s more demand than supply in the marketplace today.”

WHAT’S BREWING? A look at breweries coming soon to the south metro area. (More breweries are planned. Listed here are those that have sites and are nearing completion.)

Three Freaks Brewery Location: 7140 E. County Line Road, Highlands Ranch (near C-470 and Quebec Street) Targeted opening: Late February Owner/primary contact: Jeff Atencio More info: 3freaksbrewery.com What to expect: Atencio is a South Met-

ro Fire inspector who’s been home brewing for 27 years.

“We’re going to be one of the smaller ones at five barrels. That’s going to give us the opportunity to be a little bit more aggressive as far as experimenting.”

Three Freaks likely will open with four different beers, including a Belgian, lager and gluten-free selection. Atencio hopes eventually to expand to eight.

Blue Spruce Brewing Company 4151 E. County Line Road, Centennial

(near County Line Road and Colorado Boulevard) Targeted opening: Late February Owner/primary contact: Rick Kane More info: bluesprucebrewing.com What to expect: Kane is a former Douglas County School District teacher who’s been home brewing for 20 years.

Blue Spruce will have a seven-barrel brewing system. It will offer Mexican food along with Colorado cider and wines, margaritas, 12 of his craft beers and eight Brewing continues on Page 9

A proposed statewide transportation tax won’t appear on the November ballot this year after a recent poll showed voters are unlikely to approve it.

That doesn’t mean the tax is shelved permanently or that the MPACT 64 group created to study statewide transit solutions will stop its work.

“These issues are not Gunning going away,” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning, chairman of MPACT 64. “If there’s no funding for them today, there’s no funding for them tomorrow. So the project list just gets bigger and bigger.”

Locally, the money would have helped fund the expansion of C-470 and the southeast light rail extension from Lincoln Avenue to RidgeGate Parkway. In other parts of the state, it was targeted for the northwest light rail line from Denver to Longmont.

Members of MPACT 64 — a transportation-focused collaboration of the Metro Mayors Caucus, Action 22, Club 20 and Progressive 15 representing all 64 counties — hoped to put a 0.7 percent sales tax on the ballot this fall. Money raised through the tax would help fill a $772 million gap in the Colorado Department of Transportation’s annual budget.

State leaders spent 18 months pondering ways to bridge that shortfall, and while initial surveys showed a sales tax had the best chance of gaining support, a December poll said the timing isn’t right.

Respondents “didn’t see the proposed tax as onerous, but they don’t feel this is a good time to raise taxes,” Gunning said.

“In spite of the fact they’re unwilling to back it right now, they strongly endorsed transportation as a part of keeping Colorado’s economy strong.”

That endorsement and other poll results suggest that someday, a transportation tax might pass. Colorado today relies on fuel taxes and license fees for construction and maintenance of its transportation infrastructure. The fuel tax, which represents about 6 percent of the cost for a gallon of gas, hasn’t increased since 1991. As cars grow increasingly fuel efficient, gas tax revenues have shrunk.

Meanwhile, both the state’s population and the annual vehicle travel miles have jumped more than 50 percent.

Poll respondents support MPACT 64’s contention that transportation funds Transit continues on Page 9

Here’s to living life to ‘The Max’ Topher Barber climbed the tall, aluminum ladder, stopping just even with the old, wooden sailboat hanging upside down from the ceiling. He carefully drilled the framed picture of his dad — also upside down — to the center of the stern.

A friend handed him a bottle of champagne and Topher tapped the boat, pouring a little onto the rim. “We now christen thee,” he said, “the S.S. Max Barber.”

The small gathering of people below him raised their glasses and cheered. “He would like that,” one man said, nodding assuredly as he walked away.

The tribute, sealed as dusk darkened the wintry mountain lake outside the restaurant windows, reflected the man whose gargantuan and colorful presence was notably absent.

“Upside down is perfect,” said Dan Sherwood, Topher’s longtime friend, as he sat at the bar, under the sailboat.

“Max was a kind of renegade who didn’t conform to much. So why conform to gravity?”

Max Barber died unexpectedly Dec. 17 from an aneurysm that occurred while he was driving. He was 68. A successful contractor and owner of the popular Max Gill and Grill on South Gaylord Street in Denver, he also received national recognition in 1991 when he saved two people who fell through thin ice on Grand Lake.

But to Topher, he was so much more.

He was an exuberant, energizing force who grabbed tight to life and made it an exhilarating ride.

“He never let a blade of grass grow beneath his feet,” Topher said, pausing, looking at the beer in his hand. “He’s my dad and he was my best friend. . . . It’s going to be hard without him.”

Although Max had homes in Denver, Florida and France, the cabin he built with his hands in the mid-1980s in Grand Lake — on the water nestled between historic Lemon Lodge and the

Grand Lake Yacht Club at the end of the town’s main street — was his favorite.

On the shores of the state’s largest natural lake, the town counted 447 residents in the 2000 census. Its one main road veers off Highway 34, just before the western entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, and leads through a short, straight stretch of western-style buildings that have remained largely unchanged for years.

“This is his home,” Topher said. “He loved being near the water, being in a small town. He loved that this town is a dead end. It was the end of the road.”

It was Topher’s most consistent home, too.

“I love this place,” he said. “Both me and my brother met our wives up here.

My life wouldn’t be the same without Grand Lake. We wouldn’t be who we are without this place.”

Growing up, Topher and his brothers Tyler and Todd spent every summer at the lake. Topher and Tyler worked at Pancho and Lefty’s, the eatery popular with locals and weekenders that’s just a one-minute-walk from the cabin.

They learned how to sail — Topher even taught sailing at the yacht club.

Max bought them a boat and they often competed in the annual weeklong regatta - but never won. “ . . . we were always at the back of the pack and that always bummed him out,” Topher said.

Last summer, two days before the regatta, Topher decided to compete when a friend who is an accomplished sailor offered to crew. Midway through

the week, Max left for an already planned vacation in Michigan. Topher was tied for first; Max eagerly awaited his daily updates.

“It came down to the last race and we had to finish first — and we did,” Topher said. “I could hear the pride in his voice and knew he had tears in his eyes.”

In late October, after returning from a month in France, Max headed to Grand Lake to winterize the cabin. Topher went with him. They blew out the sprinklers, cut firewood, hung out.

“Just me and him,” Topher said. “It was perfect. I have no regrets about how our relationship ended. . . . We told each other how we felt about each other — we loved each other.”

On Jan. 10, Topher, who lives in Broomfield, decided to check on the cabin, make sure the heat was working, that pipes hadn’t frozen — and meet up with some friends to share a few stories and laughs.

On the passenger seat of his Subaru, he placed a ceramic cowboy boot with a lasso around its heel — the urn holding some of his dad’s ashes, which also include the remains of a December Wall Street Journal, his favorite paper; his red, alma mater Cornell cap; a favorite Hemingway coozie; and the photo of his three sons when they were just boys, wearing cowboy hats, which he always kept in his wallet.

Topher also brought a framed picture of a grinning Max, wearing a tropical shirt and white captain’s hat and holding a beer next to his cheek.

A winter storm swirled gusting snow, creating moments of white-out as he slowly drove Berthoud Pass, reminiscent of the first time he, his brothers and Max had driven to Grand Lake.

“Pop,” Topher said, “we aren’t turning around, are we?”

At the cabin, he set the boot and picture on the dining room table, grabbed two beers — the one for Max snug in another Hemingway coozie — and tuned

the CD player to Alabama’s “Mountain Music,” his dad’s favorite and the cabin’s theme song.

Then he talked to Max. And he cried.

The next afternoon, Topher strolled into Pancho and Lefty’s and settled at the bar to talk with friends in the familiar eclectic atmosphere where 1,500 beer cans — all one-of-a-kind — line shelves along the walls.

Also on the walls are photos of several longtime locals who have died. Hanging from the ceiling are a chair lift, a kayak, and a dummy of a man with a serape sleeping in a hammock, a margarita glass in his hand.

And the old, wooden sailboat.

That’s when it hit. “ . . . to make that boat his — The Max,” Topher said. “He’s in the bar area looking out on the lake. It just makes so much sense.”

In mid-February, a celebration of life for Max will be held at his Denver restaurant. Those who come should wear happy colors. No black. No tears.

Because Max wouldn’t want crying, Topher said.

He loved life too much.

Topher tells this story about the Grand Lake cabin: “We’re known for staying up way too late there and having Lemon Lodge renters yell at us. One day, a couple of Lemon Lodge renters come up and say they’re trying to go to bed . . . and how much longer will you guys be staying up?”

Max glanced at his watch, then looked up.

“We’ve been partying for 23 years here,” he said, “and think we’ve got 23 more to go.”

Cheers.

They don’t have to travel far.”

A detailed description of each opportunity lets volunteers know what is expected and whether training is required. The decision to sign up is in the volunteer’s hands. Users complete a simple profile and sign up for volunteer opportunities when they want with the click of a button. Organizations don’t solicit help directly.

During the first phase of the portal’s existence, the nine agencies in the Partnership of Douglas County Governments are the ones offering the volunteer opportunities. During phase two, which is in the planning stages, the website will be opened up to nonprofits, multiplying the number of volunteer settings available

to philanthropic residents. Douglas County Libraries, the organization that spearheaded the effort on behalf of the Partnership of Douglas County Governments, is accepting applications from nonprofits now.

A wide range of volunteer openings are on the site, from a seasonlong youth sports coaching position in Castle Rock to a one-day job for a decorator and monitor at the Sweetheart Skate Night at the Parker Fieldhouse.

“We find that (preference) differs per individual,” Ayres said. “People with kids might be more interested in doing something with youth. Someone who enjoys reading might go more for literacy.”

More than 450 volunteers active in Douglas County have signed up on the custom-designed site. It will likely get more use as the local population of retirees grows. High school kids needing volunteer hours for graduation, as well as those needing to fulfill court-ordered community service, are also expected to patronize the portal. It’s a centralized location open to individuals, families, small groups and large groups.

Strain to run for county commissioner Former Parker restaurateur to run against current sheriff

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A well-known restaurateur has put his hat in the proverbial ring for the Douglas County commissioner race.

Stevan Strain, a longtime Parker resident who sold the Warhorse Inn earlier this month after 30 years in business, is the only opponent registered to challenge current Douglas County Sheriff Dave Weaver as representative of the Republican Party for the District 1 commissioner seat.

Weaver announced his candidacy for the position in mid-2013.

Strain is as recognized for his polite demeanor and Southern drawl as he is for his contribution to the community. Aside from his prominent role as owner of the Warhorse Inn, a former fixture of East Mainstreet in downtown Parker, Strain has served on numerous boards, including those for Douglas County Libraries and the Science and Cultural Facilities District. He is now on the Douglas County Planning Commission and County Open Space Advisory Board.

Strain, 60, believes his experience as a businessman and public official in Douglas County gives him a well-rounded point of view that would translate well in a top leadership position.

“A great county is multi-faceted. It has more than one dimension or issue,” he said. “Becoming a great county commissioner — a statesman rather than simply a politician — requires a depth of knowledge and experience.”

The former president of the Parker Chamber of Commerce and Parker Economic Development Council has earned several awards for his philanthropy. He declared his candidacy for the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners in November while speaking to the Republican Women’s Club in Douglas County.

Weaver touts his credentials and knowledge about “where we have been, where we are and where we need to go.” He has worked with the sheriff’s office in various

capacities for more than 30 years and says he knows how to “effectively build and retain community partnerships.”

A frequent presence at community events, Weaver believes in a balanced approach to maintaining existing lifestyles in both rural and residential settings. He is also “fiscally prudent,” according to his campaign website, which includes a section entitled “Why You Should Hire Me as Your Next Commissioner.”

The candidates are vying for a seat currently held by Commissioner Jack Hilbert, who is term-limited. Party caucuses are March 4 and election primaries are scheduled for June 24.

The seats for District 2 and 3 commissioners Jill Repella and Roger Partridge will not be up for election until 2016.

Denver Christian to move out of Highlands Ranch Staff report Denver Christian Schools is consolidating its three campuses, including one in Highlands Ranch, into one location in Lakewood this August.

The Highlands Ranch campus, located at 1733 Dad Clark Drive, will move into a 270,000 square-foot building on a 20.7-acre property at 3898 S. Teller Street in Lake-

wood. The facility already has the infrastructure for classrooms, dining facilities, security, technology and parking with room to grow, according to the school system.

The new campus will include education levels from preschool to 12th grade. The property, including a former office building and training center, was acquired at less than 38 percent of its appraised value, according to Northstar Commercial Partners,

a real estate firm that aided Denver Christian Schools in the acquisition.

“Our teaching and learning presence at the new location will provide us with an outstanding ability to offer preschool through 12th-grade education that is distinctive and exemplary in the Front Range region,” CEO Ray Boursema said in a news release. “Denver Christian Schools is honored to have Northstar Commercial Partners as an advo-

cate and a real estate partner in establishing our future.”

The current Highlands Ranch campus teaches preschool through eighth grade and currently has more than 350 students enrolled, according to its website. Denver Christian has a combined enrollment of 620 students on its three campuses and has operated in the Denver area since 1916.

Remains ID’d as those of missing man Staff report

Authorities have identified the remains of a man who went missing in Douglas County more than a year ago.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office determined that Terry LeMay, 55, of Arvada, was missing after finding his vehicle abandoned on Platte River Road near the intersection of Highway 67 in November 2012. An investigation revealed that LeMay might have been

suicidal.

The Douglas County Search and Rescue team conducted several extensive searches of the area with bloodhounds, but was not able to locate LeMay. The sheriff’s office renewed its call last June for hikers and hunters to keep an eye out for human remains.

In September, a pair of elk hunters discovered remains that were later tested. A positive DNA match was made Jan. 15. This case is now closed and no foul play is suspected.

Boys charged in SkyView chemical incident

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two male SkyView Academy students are being held on charges related to the Jan. 14 chemical incident at the Highlands Ranch charter school. The boys are charged with possession, use or removal of explosive or incendiary devices, a felony.

Four students and a teacher were taken to a local hospital “as a precaution,” when a chemical reaction in an unspecified container ruptured in a SkyView classroom at about 10 a.m., officials said.

The investigation is ongoing and will be reviewed by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, who will make the final call on charges.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is releasing few additional details. Its most

recent news release said it is prohibited from doing according to rules surrounding pre-trial publicity.

“Initially, we were trying to determine if it was malicious or accidental,” Sgt. Ron Hanavan said. “We’ve determined this was not accidental and are treating it as a criminal investigation.”

Hanavan could not say where the boys were being held, but confirmed they are not confined with any adults.

About 1,200 SkyView students and staff evacuated the building after the incident, and the remaining day’s classes were canceled. Classes resumed Dec. 15.

Multiple units from the South Metro and Littleton fire departments responded to the school.

SkyView Academy is a K-12 charter school that operates under the auspices of the Douglas County School District.

Bill allows married gays to file joint taxes Legislation comes on heels of July Supreme Court decision

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that would allow married gay couples living in Colorado to file joint state tax returns is on its way to a vote in the state Senate, after it passed a legislative committee on Jan. 14.

However, Senate Bill 19 applies only to married couples, not those who are involved in a civil union, which became legal in Colorado last year.

Senate Bill 19 requires that gay couples who married out of state or in another country, and who now reside here, file their state taxes the same as they do at the federal level, either through joint or individual returns.

That’s regardless of the fact that Colorado does not recognize same-sex marriage.

Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, a bill sponsor, told the Senate Finance Committee that the bill aims to do away with confusion on the part of legally married gay

Two months of upcoming Chamber events are also posted on the homepage with easy online access to more information and RSVP links for any Chamber event. And at the bottom of the home page, a map of South Metro Denver showing the Chamber’s location as well as its premiere Investors.

The addition of the ability to post and respond to blogs was of major importance in the design of the new site. Putting ideas and issues out to the public and being able to get responses compliments the Chamber’s core values of collaboration, empowerment, transformation and celebration. All posts are categorized and searchable so interested parties can find posts going back as far as two years ago.

Chamber Director of Economic Development Jeff Holwell is excited at the prospects of blogging for the Chamber. “The ability to share our thoughts regarding current business themes and get feedback strengthens our potential for creating a strong business climate. We look forward to gaining valuable insights into our business community and nurturing a stream of communication to help businesses grow.”

The bill comes on the heels of a July Supreme Court decision that struck down much of the Defense of Marriage Act. Since then, the Internal Revenue Service has ruled that legally married same-sex couples are also considered married for federal tax purposes.

The federal ruling applies to all gay couples who are in legally recognized marriages, even if they reside in states like Colorado, which has a constitutional ban against gay marriage on its books.

So if a gay couple gets married in New York, then moves to Colorado, they can file joint state returns here.

However, the IRS is clear that only legally married gay couples can file joint returns.

“The revenue department ruling expressly says they are not recognizing civil unions, or other domestic partnerships,” Steadman said. “This is purely a matter of who is married.”

Even though the legislation would not affect couples involved in civil unions, the bill would make changes to an area of last year’s

Marijuana food stamp bill killed Measure sought to prohibit public assistance cash card use

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that would have prohibited welfare recipients from using public assistance cash cards at marijuana stores and strip clubs died in a legislative committee on Jan. 15.

The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Vicki Marble, R-Fort Collins, argued unsuccessfully that allowing electronic benefit transfer cards — which act as debit cards for people on public assistance — to be used at ATMs that are inside pot shops and adult entertainment places begs for federal prosecutorial intervention.

But Democrats on the Senate’s State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee

cited testimony from bill opponents who said the bill was unnecessary and addresses a problem that doesn’t exist.

The bill died in the Democrat-led committee, following a 3-2 party line vote.

Marble told committee members that federal law requires that the state take measures to prevent public assistance recipients from using their EBT cards inside places like liquor stores, gambling establishments and adult entertainment businesses.

As for use inside pot shops, Marble said that voters supported 2012’s Amendment 64 — which legalized pot sales in Colorado — with the intention of pot being regulated the same way as alcohol. The federal government frowns on EBT cards being used inside places that sell booze.

Without regulation addressing this issue, Marble — who was a member of last year’s Amendment 64 Legislative Task

Force — said that pot shop owners could end up getting a visit from a federal agent.

“I have a feeling we’re going to be seeing trouble that we’re not ready to deal with,” Marble said, referring to federal cash seizures at pot stores. “We’re setting these newly established marijuana stores up to fail.”

Sen. Bernie Herpin, R-Colorado Springs, supported Marble’s effort, saying that he doesn’t believe that public funds should be used to access marijuana.

“I just don’t understand — people who are using their food stamp money to buy marijuana — why we should be making it easier for them,” he said.

But bill opponents and Democratic committee members said those fears are overblown.

“I’m not aware of widespread misuse,” said Terry Scanlon of the Center for Children’s Law and Policy. “This is an unneces-

sary burden to put on the beneficiaries.”

Other arguments against the bill had to do with lack of ATM access for public assistance recipients. Sen. Irene Aguilar, D-Denver, said that she believes the federal government’s intent is to ensure that public assistance recipients have access to ATMs, before the state does anything to restrict their use.

Democratic senators shared narratives about elderly and disabled persons having to go out of their way to find ATMs. In some cases, the closest neighborhood cash dispensaries are found inside liquor stores, or pot shops, they said.

Those persons are not using public assistance to buy pot; they’re just trying to get cash to get on the bus, bill opponents said.

“If you’ve ever known anyone who has been on cash assistance, like I have, it’s not something you abuse,” said Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City.

Sean Conway, a Weld County Commissioner, told the State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee that the bill is unfair and that lawmakers should “hit the reset button” on the legislation.

Conway was a leader behind a recent movement by several counties to secede from the state, due in large part to last year’s passage of Senate Bill 252.

“The 800-pound gorilla in this room is that rural-urban divide,” Conway said.

But several testified against Harvey’s effort, saying that the new standards have expanded the renewable energy field in the state and has created new jobs.

“What I heard overwhelmingly from the testimony today is that Senate Bill 252 has led to job creation,” said Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, a Democrat from Adams County and committee chairman.

Ulibarri added that he “did not hear specifically from rural electric cooperatives their concerns on this bill.”

As expected, the repeal effort failed on a 3-2 party line vote. The State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee is known as the “kill committee” inside the Capitol, a place where certain bills proposed by the minority party are sent to die.

Earlier in the day, Harvey and other Senate Republicans held a press conference, where they blasted Democrats for sending a good number of their bills to the socalled kill committee.

But the committee has been used in similar fashion by Republicans in the past.

And Democrats insist that every bill will be considered appropriately.

“There is no promise of outcome,” said

Ulibarri. “There is a promise of a fair hearing.”

The repeal bill’s defeat hardly spells the end of this issue. A Republican effort to reduce the energy mandate from 20 percent to 15 percent was introduced in the House

the same day.

This session, Republicans will also seek repeals or changes to other pieces of Democrat-sponsored laws that were enacted last year, such as gun-control legislation and election reform.

Effort to repeal energy measure fizzles Law passed in 2013 increased mandates for rural electric providers

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Republican state lawmakers’ first effort this legislative session to undo key Democratic accomplishments from last year failed on Jan. 15.

A Democrat-led Senate committee killed a measure that sought to repeal a law that increased renewable energy mandates that were placed on rural electric providers.

Last year, the Legislature, through Senate Bill 252, mandated that rural electric associations generate 20 percent of their energy through renewable sources. That doubled the former standard of 10 percent.

The law has drawn the ire of Republicans, who argued that the legislation hurts business in rural parts of the state and will drive up energy costs.

“Why are we continuing to have this bad bill on the books?,” said Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, who sponsored the repeal effort. “This bill rights a terrible wrong.

The 20 percent target is common throughout much of Colorado, but supporters of Harvey’s bill testified that the new standard hurts rural parts of the state, in particular. They insist that the mandate will hurt rural economies, even though the law puts a 2 percent cap on energy rate hikes.

law that created civil unions in Colorado.

The civil unions statute does not allow for joint tax filing.

“That’s because it was not possible for same-sex couples to file federally (when the civil unions bill became law),” Steadman said afterward. “It did not allow for linkage for state taxes. And that was absolutely accurate when it was written. But the whole world has turned on its head since then.”

The bill also makes language in Colorado income tax statutes gender neutral.

It replaces “husband, or wife or both” with “two taxpayers.” And it replaces “spouse” with “taxpayer.”

The bill cleared the Finance Committee, with Democratic Sens. Mike Johnston of Denver, Andy Kerr of Lakewood and Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City voting yes.

Republican Sens. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs and Kevin Grantham of Canon City

voted against moving the bill forward.

Michael Norton of the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative group that is opposed to gay marriage, called the bill a “subterfuge,” which provides an end-run around the state’s gay marriage ban.

“The people of Colorado have decided what the policy of the state of Colorado as it pertains to marriage,” Norton said.

The bill would benefit couples like Lauren Fortmiller and Pamela Thiele of Lakewood, who married in California in 2008.

Fortmiller told the committee that prior to the Supreme Court decision, they, like all gay couples, could only file federal taxes separately.

“It was always painful, year after year, to check that box saying we were single when we are not,” Fortmiller said.

Thiele concurred with her partner’s sentiment.

“After all the 45 years we have worked for equality and justice, after all the sadness and anxiety, being asked this year, finally, honestly and openly, to check the ‘married filing jointly’ box on a Colorado state form will be a thrill,” Thiele said.

opinions / yours and ours

Time for major immigration reform Colorado is home to roughly half a million immigrants, about a third of whom are undocumented, according to a report by the Center for Immigration Studies. More than 11 million undocumented immigrants are estimated to be in the United States.

In Colorado and across the nation, industries like farming and construction rely on the labor provided by workers who are not in the country legally. To that end, the way of life enjoyed by so many Americans is dependent upon them.

The system, however, under which these immigrants work, live and learn is broken.

Few would argue against that point. But what’s to be done?

Spearheaded by a bipartisan “Gang of Eight” — which included Sen. Michael Bennet, of Colorado — a comprehensive immigration-reform measure passed, with support from a number of Republicans, through the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate last June. The bill, S. 744, went nowhere in the House, though.

Early signs are that the Republican-controlled House has no plans to take up a single comprehensive bill this year either, but will instead address immigration in a piecemeal

our view fashion of multiple measures.

It is encouraging that the House plans to address this critical issue, and in fact, there are reports that Speaker John Boehner aims to unveil the principles of the plan before the end of the month. But as they forge ahead with a plan of their own, we urge House leaders to embrace the primary tenets of the Senate-passed measure.

For one thing, S. 744 is good for business. A letter sent to the Senate last June in support of the bill was signed by myriad business organizations, including the Denver Metro, South Metro Denver and U.S. chambers of commerce.

In part, the letter said: “America’s current immigration system is broken and does not meet the needs of our citizens or businesses. Improvements to our nation’s immigration policies are long overdue and are essential to continued

letter to the editor Time for superintendent to resign

Thank you for the coverage of the recent Colorado Administrative Court ruling, finding Douglas County School District in violation of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. The judge found that the district paid $15,000 to an American Enterprise Institute writer, for a report backing reform candidates for the November 2013 election. The judge found that the school district later distributed the report to 85,000 voters, right after mail-in ballots were sent for the election.

Most appalling to me was the finding that the superintendent represented in a mass emailing to parents that the report was funded by private money. Earning a salary and benefits approaching an unprecedented $300,000 per year, the superintendent knew or should have known that, even if AEI gave money to the district, it became public money at the time it was given, and therefore was subject to

the statute forbidding public money to be used for campaign financing.

At her level of compensation, the superintendent should be aware when she misrepresents to her parents and teachers, when she allows a private group to use the district as a conduit for its campaign contributions, when she puts the district’s stamp of approval on a particular group of candidates, and when campaign materials are distributed.

Now it is time for her to step down and resign her position. It is also time for the reform candidates and district board to acknowledge errors, to report the contribution by the district to their campaigns, and to appoint a non-reform director to the district board to replace Justin Williams. The 48 percent of electors who wanted balance and change on the board should now be represented.

See you at the top, or over it If you have ever experienced skiing with a group or with your family, you just may be familiar with this statement, usually shouted from a chairlift down to a family member or friend on the slopes, or even spoken into a cell phone when two parties have been separated from one another, “I will see you at the top.”

Although I have been skiing in Colorado for the past 18 seasons, this still happens to our family, as a matter of fact it happened a couple of weeks ago as I was skiing with two of my children.

We became separated and as I was going back up the chairlift I found myself shouting down to my son, “I’ll see you at the top!”

And spending as much time skiing each year as I do, I have had the opportunity to hear the phrase “See you at the top or meet me at the top” with great frequency.

This statement has special meaning for me for other reasons too. Zig Ziglar’s first book is titled “See You at the Top.” Millions of people have been impacted by this book as it is a guide to personal and professional success. Having worked with Mr. Ziglar and his family for many years, just hearing the words “See you at the top” brings back incredible and wonderful memories for me.

Where is the “Top?” It’s all relative right? I mean the “Top” for you may be different than the “Top” for your neighbor or coworker. When we are skiing and get separated it’s easy to identify where the top actually is on the mountain. But in life, the “Top” can be a tricky thing for some people to identify with

economic growth. We especially applaud the efforts of the bipartisan ‘Gang of 8’ for their leadership on this issue and commend the entire Senate for your hard work on this difficult and controversial issue.”

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, hardly a stronghold of liberal ideals, is one of the most outspoken proponents of comprehensive immigration reform in general and S. 744 in particular, touting a study that says the nation’s economy would stand to grow by $1.5 trillion over 10 years.

S. 744 — also known as the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act — takes a truly broad-based approach to reform.

Among other things, the bill calls for: • More than $40 billion of initial funding to shore up border security.

• Mandatory use by employers of an electronic employment verification system known as E-Verify.

• Creation of a Registered Provisional Immigrant program that includes background checks and mandates the payment of application fees. RPI status may be renewed after six years and immigrants can pursue lawful permanent residence after 10 years, if

The curmudgeon takes a holiday It’s snowing and the dog won’t go outside. Meanwhile, the dog across the street, Taz, is outside rolling around, jumping up and down, and playing mumblety-peg with a squirrel.

We have no appointments and no meetings. We are both safe and sound and warm.

I have nothing to complain about today, and that may be a first. I am sure I could pick at a scab and write about an injustice or a tragedy or Detroit, but I am not going to.

The curmudgeon, the fault-finder, is taking some time off to look around and smell the Sumatra. It probably won’t last very long. I think if I stayed away from the television, the newspaper and the computer for a few days I could stretch this out. But I haven’t even come close to doing that since I was in rehab, and that was 16 years ago.

The rehab I went to was a sanctuary. I didn’t have to wear a hospital gown, and I wasn’t chained to my bed. We could leave for a couple of hours every day, within a specified radius, and as long as we didn’t go to our homes or to Colfax.

One girl went to Colfax the night before her graduation, and she was shown the

lone tree voice or just have a hard time seeing happening for themselves.

The book, “See You at the Top” focuses on things like having a healthy self-image, the importance of a positive attitude, building winning relationships, setting and achieving goals, and living with hope. So you see, it’s not targeted at any specific role or job type, it is a book that was written to meet people, all people, wherever they are on their success journey.

Mr. Ziglar didn’t stop there though, as he continued to motivate and inspire millions of people around the world, he changed the ending to each one of his talks. Instead of ending with, “I will see you, and yes I do mean you at the top,” he changed it to “Hey I am going to see you, and yes I do mean you, not just at the top, I am going to see you over the top.” That little change and reminder at the end of his talks or seminars made all the difference for me personally in the pursuit of my goals as I know there is always more to strive for.

And every time I hear someone else shout it from a chairlift or from the Norton continues on Page 9

they remain employed, pay taxes, pass background checks and meet English proficiency requirements.

• A faster track to lawful permanent residence for undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children and for agricultural workers.

• A path to citizenship, for those who fulfill the RPI requirements, which would take 13 years or more.

That last point, the path to citizenship, has been one of the more controversial aspects of the bill and was met with large resistance by House Republicans last year.

We’re not sold on the necessity of it being part of an immigration overhaul, but we understand and appreciate the importance it plays for both lawmakers behind the bill and for immigrants whose dream includes citizenship.

With worker shortages looming and wasteful spending rampant on a current system that isn’t getting the job done, S. 744 is, on the whole, a beacon of hope. Leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives would do well to follow the light — and act now.

Beer Continued from Page 1

Not since before Prohibition has beer enjoyed such heady popularity. In the late 1800s, between 3,000 and 4,000 breweries operated in the United States, many serving as neighborhood hubs. Prohibition, which lasted from 1920 to 1933, destroyed that way of life, Hearst said. For decades after, large brewers dominated the market.

“We’ve finally come back,” she said.

“The reason it’s come back is because it’s become localized, and the small and independent craft brewers have finally gotten their footing. We don’t make predictions, but I can say, the future looks very bright.”

“They were also very supportive of local influence over project selection,” Gunning said. “We were very happy about that. That was one of the premises that we spent a lot of time working on with CDOT.” MPACT 64 members will meet again in March to further analyze December’s poll results and plan for the future.

“We made a big step forward just by bringing together a statewide coalition,” Gunning said. “In my view, the next step is to talk about how we engage the voters in this discussion now.”

I am guilty of straying to some news

Lone Tree Brewing Company co-owner John Winter was the first to venture into the Lone Tree/Highlands Ranch market in December 2011. The business’ quick success has made Winter a trusted source for prospective brewery owners.

He sees their businesses as a complement to his, not competition.

“We’ll let our beer stand by itself,” Winter said. “What we’re really interested in is building the number of people who enjoy craft beer.

More breweries “provides a much greater amount of diversity while at the same time (the area) becomes a more popular destination for craft beer connoisseurs.”

Winter believes there’s a vast untapped market among people who currently drink brand-name beers, wine or alcohol. He

thinks the proliferation and proximity of microbreweries likely will prompt some to try — and convert to — drinking craft beer.

He and other area brewers also see side markets for shuttles and bicycle tourism.

Most of the existing and soon-to-open microbreweries are either on or within easy pedaling distance of the C-470 and South Platte River trails.

“With Breckenridge coming on board, I have a feeling we’re going to be able to provide more than enough stops for a tour from one end of C-470 to the other,” said Jeff Atencio, owner of the nearly complete Three Freaks Brewery. “That’s what’s fantastic about this explosion of craft beer: There’s plenty of room for everyone to play, and the consumer is going to benefit from this choice because we’ll all be striving for

high quality.”

Hearst said collaboration among craft brewers is key to the industry’s current and continued success, especially given the complexity of the brewing business. It also reflects a desire among beer lovers to share what they see as one of life’s true pleasures.

“I would say that to open a brewery is one of the hardest, most expensive, most compliance-intensive, most demanding business tasks to do,” she said. “So why would people be persevering at such a strong rate?

“This has become a little piece of the American dream. It’s a way to live out the cultural evolution we’ve gone through in our country of not just making a buck, but using our time to make the world a better place.”

Owner/primary contact: Mike Keating More info: 38statebrew.com What to expect: Keating was a master gardener who started brewing about four years ago. His hobby quickly outgrew his garage, prompting him to open a business and share his passion. Keating describes his operation as small batch, and said the beer is infused with “a lot of fun and energy.”

“My double IPA is my favorite beer to make and drink. That’s one of the beers I hope to have on opening day.”

Other flagship beers include Scottish and amber ales and a chocolate bourbon stout.

GUNNING TO CHAIR MAYORS CAUCUS Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning will keep wearing a variety of hats in 2014. In addition to his continued role as the face of Lone Tree, members of the Metro Mayors Caucus this month appointed Gunning to a second year as the group’s chairman.

“He’s provided great leadership,” caucus director Catherine Kearney Marinelli said. “The feeling was that he was doing a great job, and there were a lot of important issues where continuity was important.”

Kearney specifically pointed to Gunning’s work as chair of MPACT 64, and his December 2012 40 Cups of Coffee Tour — an effort to meet one-on-one with all caucus members before stepping in as chairman in January 2013.

Mayors historically had served two terms leading the caucus, but Marinelli said the group broke from that pattern in about 2008.

Gunning’s fourth hat is perhaps his most distinctive.

He’s employed as a pilot for United Airlines.

The trick to an upbeat day is to avoid Christiane Amanpour. She’s great, but she always in the thick of something, halfway around the world. It’s forever dire straits with her, not those uplifting stories about corn roasts and sugar gliders.

The TV movie of the day is “No Country For Old Men.” Best to avoid that one too.

I don’t know how some people do it.

Sierra Middle School teacher Jed Palmer recently earned a rare, national honor for his work as a yearbook adviser, but he says the credit goes to his students.

“I am fortunate to have great kids that choose to join the journalism classes and are willing to work hard on the yearbook and newspaper,” he said. “I think my job is to give them the opportunity to show what they can do and to direct a spotlight on their achievements.”

Palmer was among three teachers nationally who received the Journalism Education Association’s Distinguished Adviser award. The JEA also recognized Melissa Larson of Castle Rock’s Mesa Middle School and Jessica Leifheit of Castle View High School with the Rising Star award. It recognizes promising journalism teachers and advisers.

“I was shocked,” Palmer said. “As far as adviser recognition, the JEA Adviser of the Year is the top award program nationally. It would relate to a Grammy or an Emmy in the field of journalism.”

Last year, the Colorado High School Press Association also recognized Palmer as Adviser of the Year, making him the first middle school-level adviser ever to win the award.

Those honors are among a years-long list of awards tied to the Parker school’s journalism program, which includes the yearbook, print newspaper and a news website.

The Eagle Eye View yearbook is the program’s shining star. During the past five years, it has won more than 100 state and national awards. Those included seven state and national awards in 2013, including two Picture of the Year Honorable Mentions and second place in Colorado High School Press Association (CHSPA) Best of Show for Yearbook.

The 2013 yearbook also won a Columbia

Scholastic Press Association Gold Medal award, a National Scholastic Press Association All-American and a CHSPA All-Colorado award.

All of it has come under Palmer’s guidance. A Sierra teacher for more than a decade, he took on the role of journalism adviser early in his tenure there. It suited Palmer, who’d worked on his own middle school’s yearbook and served as managing editor of his college newspaper.

The program had only about 20 students when Palmer stepped in as adviser.

“Now here at Sierra we’re up to 150 students that participate in some form in the journalism program,” he said. “The thing that really got us started was the quality of our photography. But in order to be successful on a national level, we had to put together the whole package.”

Key to creating that successful package is student autonomy, Palmer said. Students are charged not only with production but with the yearbook’s annual budget.

“I involve students in all our financial decisions,” Palmer said. “Do we do additional pages? What’s our maintenance cost on our equipment? They’re making the decisions about where we spend that money.

“They’re also learning a lot of collaborative work environment skills. A lot of classroom work is isolated and independent from other students. Here, any person’s success is dependent on the success of the team.”

Palmer’s approach is so successful he’s been asked to share it with other school journalism advisers.

Students appreciate Palmer’s hands-off approach, too.

“As a teacher, he’s there if you need him, but he shows us how to do things and then steps aside,” said yearbook editor-in-chief Christian Williams.

Copy and design editor Hannah Hiett said Palmer’s passion for the program is contagious.

While most of Sierra’s 150 journalism students won’t make it a career, Palmer said the skills they learn in his program will serve them well.

“Everything we do it about delivering a message to an audience,” he said. “That’s a skill they need regardless of career choices they make.”

Literacy aid crosses borders Chocolate fundraiser slated for Feb. 1

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ coloradocommunitymedia.com All it took was one trip to Belize for firstgrade teacher Jean Kirshner to know she could make a difference.

Accompanying a friend on a medical mission to the exotic Central American country in 2007, the Parker resident stopped by the most familiar place she could find: a neighborhood school. She promptly made friends with the principal, “and the rest is history,” she says.

The meeting marked the beginning of an education partnership that continues to grow exponentially, not to mention the start of a friendship that still endures seven years later. Kirshner founded the Belize Education Project, which seeks to enrich classroom learning in both Belize and Colorado.

With a primary focus on literacy, Kirshner gathers a delegation of Denver-area teachers — half of whom hail from Douglas County — for a trip to Belize every October during their fall break. The teachers pay their own way, shelling out the $1,400 for airfare and other expenses. Kirshner says such selfless actions speak to their passion for education and willingness to share knowledge and resources.

“That’s how they want to spend their money and their fall break: they want to teach kids in a developing country how to read,” she said.

Four schools in Belize are getting assistance in implementing “developmental reading assessments” used to assess the reading skills of schoolchildren and iden-

tify weaknesses. The literacy assessment kits cost $500 each and money is raised to provide more each year. Six Douglas County schools are involved, including Prairie Crossing Elementary and Mammoth Heights Elementary in Parker.

The Belize Education Project is planning its annual Chocolate Education Project fundraiser to raise money to fly a 10-member delegation of Belize educators to Colorado. When the group visited last April, they were placed in classrooms to put their newfound knowledge to the test.

They also experienced their first snowfall.

Once again, the delegation will be staying in the homes of local teachers, further nurturing bonds and understanding between the two cultures, Kirshner said.

“It’s building relationships,” she said.

“There are a lot of groups making a difference with literacy, but (relationships are) often the piece that’s missing.”

Even the students are getting in on the action. Kirshner’s first-grade class at Mammoth Heights created a how-to video for building a snowman that will be shown to the kids in Belize. Their counterparts have promised to return the favor with their own video about the country’s rainforests.

Authentic connections go a long way in fostering shared ideas and goals.

“All of this change and work really comes out of a sense of solidarity, not charity,” Kirshner said. “It’s the idea that we’re working together with these people.”

The Chocolate Education Project fundraiser is scheduled for 2-4 p.m. Feb. 1 at 11011 South Cambridge Place in Parker.

The featured presenter will be Julie Pech, a “chocolate therapist” who will give a presentation on the health benefits of chocolate. There will also be chocolate projects for participants. The suggested donation is $20. For more information, contact Judy Denison at judy_d@prodigy.net.

Arapahoe sheriff reacts to guard’s accusations Robinson: ‘We will not be distracted from our critical responsibilities’

By George Lurie

glurie@coloradocommunitymedia.com Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson wasted no time reacting to accusations leveled on Facebook by a former security guard at Arapahoe High School that school officials could have done more to prevent the shooting that claimed the life of 17-year-old Claire Davis.

Cameron Rust, employed as a security guard and coach at Arapahoe — and placed on leave by the school district shortly after the Dec. 13 shooting — claimed on a Jan. 16 Facebook posting that the tragedy at Arapahoe could have been prevented.

“The school had been warned, they did not do enough,” Rust wrote in the 4,106word Facebook post. “The school had been warned about a lot of things, things that did not have anything to do with December 13th and did not do enough. In my opinion, they will continue to not do enough unless we force them to…”

When reached by telephone on Jan. 17 and asked for his reaction to Rust’s allegations, Robinson offered to forward a prepared statement.

“I’m not going to make any other comments except for what’s in my statement,” the sheriff said. “I have a duty to act as a mature and responsible adult, unlike some other individuals out there.”

Robinson’s statement in full: “From the initial stages of the on-going investigation, Mr. Rust was the subject of interviews conducted by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. Our investigators plan to re-interview him in the future, as well as numerous other individuals, as part of the on-going investigation into the tragedies associated with the December 13, 2013 incident.

“The critical responsibility of determining the truth, established by facts and evidence, is our key focus and absolute responsibility to the community and to the Davis family. That responsibility will be accomplished in a complete and thorough manner. There will be no further comment regarding this matter, at this point in time, as we will not be distracted from our critical responsibilities Robinson of the on-going investigation, nor will we tolerate any effort to divert our attention or obstruct our investigative responsibilities.”

Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy also responded quickly by posting a statement on the district’s website.

“Recently there has been a lot of communication within our community,” he writes. “Some of these discussions are taking place online and are being reported through newspapers and TV stations. This is to be expected. Much of the conversation, however, is based on inaccurate information, rumor, and innuendo. I would encourage all Warriors to wait for the sheriff’s investigation to come to a close before drawing conclusions. … I ask that we keep LPS strong by respecting the privacy of all in our community. Doing so will preserve the honor and integrity of our schools. We will not allow others to distract us from the important work of teaching and learning.”

Rust’s comments were posted on a Facebook page titled “Bring Back Cameron Rust AHS” started by student Jordan Macomber. He organized a peaceful protest in the school cafeteria on Jan. 8, the day after students returned to the building after the shooting. He said about 60 of them skipped class in support of Rust.

“The teachers didn’t really react, nobody did,” he said afterward. “Which just shows they’re getting nervous about it.”

Peter Pan flies onto PACE stage

Dicke hopes traditional play has elements of surprise

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com While there have been many onstage versions over the years since it was published in 1904, J.M. Barrie’s beloved tale of “Peter Pan,” the boy who didn’t want to grow up, will be true to the familiar Mary Martin version that appears occasionally on TV. Now under Disney’s careful control, it has become part of our cultural fabric and when it fills the large stage at the PACE Center in Parker, directed by Ben Dicke and produced by Starkey Theatrix, a new generation of children will experience the delight of seeing Peter, Wendy, Michael, Nana, the pirates, Indians, Banks’ nursery and NeverNever Land.

“How do we make it our own? Everything is so expected,” Dicke asks.

With a strong professional cast, lavish costumes and a special set built by the PACE technical crew, it promises to be a magical production. Dicke said he started

IF YOU GO “Peter Pan” plays at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 24, 25, 31, Feb. 1, 8; 2 p.m. Jan. 25, 26, Feb. 1, 8, 9 at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Downtown Parker. Tickets cost $16 to $25, with a 20 percent discount for children: 303-8056800, PACEcenteronline.org.

the rehearsal process with a movement workshop.

Lacey Connell, who has been playing Dorothy in “Wizard of Oz” at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, stood out in auditions and call-backs and will be the foreveryoung Peter — a role traditionally played by a woman. Veteran actor/singer Stephen Day will play the menacing Captain Hook.

Flying by Foy has been in the business of flying Peter Pan since Mary Martin played the part on Broadway in 1954 with the great Cyril Ritchard as her Captain Hook. Director Dicke said the Foy’s employee in charge in Parker has been in the business for 15 years and flew in from Las Vegas just to get the job done.

“We have the best musical director in town, David Nehls, a fine choreographer in Matthew Peters and Laurie Klaperich brought neat colors for costumes,” said

Dicke, who is excited about how the performance is coming together.

“I hope it’s the Peter Pan you know and recognize — and haven’t seen before,” he commented.

He imagines tickets will be in short supply by the Dicke second weekend.

Dicke’s MFA in Theatre Performance is from Roosevelt University in Chicago, a city where he performed before moving to Denver.

His family and fiancée are from this area, so Englewood will remain home base, although he and his fiancée have a New York apartment, where he will return once “Peter Pan” is up and running. He performs and directs on regional stages around the country.

In addition to his theatrical career, Dicke, 34, continues to be involved in distance running.

“I’m still trying to trash my body,” he said, adding that he runs distances from 5k to 100 miles on both road and trail and is a proud member of not only the Actor’s Equity Association, but of Rocky Mountain Road Runners.

‘Kimberly Akimbo’ enters a different world Suttle experiences life with rare disease

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Accomplished playwright David Lindsey-Abaire is recognized for his ability to lead his audiences into the minds of the somewhat quirky personalities he creates.

Kimberly Akimbo is one of those: she is a teen-aged girl afflicted with progeria syndrome, an extremely rare genetic disease that makes the body age prematurely.

Akimbo has to deal with normal teen ups and downs, a 70-year-old body and in addition, a wildly dysfunctional family and young love. Linda Suttle says it’s a dream role for her — one of several in her sights as a mature actor.

Bronco, wife a dynamic duo in magazine Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker and his country star (pregnant) wife, Jessie James Decker — arguably the NFL’s cutest couple — are featured in an eight-picture spread in the February edition of GQ magazine and on www.gq.com.

The couple are snapped in provocative poses — cooking together (at least licking the bowl), canoodling in bed, bubblebathing, “working out” in the home gym, horsing around among memorabilia — with Decker clad in distressed jeans (how distressed can they be when they fetch up to $700 a pair) and James in her unmentionables.

The point of the article — other than to feature titillating photos of a ridiculously attractive couple — is a denim discussion.

“When Denver’s newly ascendant star Eric Decker isn’t wearing his Broncos uniform, he’s kicking back in jeans with his (pregnant!) country-singer wife, Jessie James, and the crew of their reality series, `Eric & Jessie: Game On.’ Here, he sports the season’s best beat-up, broken-in, and distressed denim — the kind you (almost) never want to take off.”

Strahan, Letterman talk Manning

Late-night talk show host David Letterman used his national forum to ask the question on many football fans’ minds when former football great, talk-show host and Fox-TV NFL analyst Michael Strahan guested on the show recently.

“I’m so tired of people screaming, ‘Omaha’...,” Letterman told Strahan, referring to Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning’s favorite cue at the line of scrimmage. “Why does he do that?”

“Because (he) likes the steaks,” Strahan said.

Letterman also questioned why Manning moves around so much prior to the snap.

“When he goes to the line he looks like he’s got another job,” the talk-show host said. “He looks like he’s working part-time at a gift card store picking out stuff, running around, ‘Oh my God,’ we’re out of ribbon.’ Then he comes back and takes the snap. Is he the first guy to be so darn busy at his second job as a quarterback?”

“I don’t think anybody has made it look as difficult as Peyton,” Strahan said.

“I’m still not buying all that is necessary. I think he says, ‘I’m doing all of this so kids at home think I’m cool.’ There’s no way, Dave, the other 10 guys on offense understand all that stuff. They’re not that smart.”

Shipwrecked in Illyria Play debuts at ThunderRidge

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com William Shakespeare’s perennially popular comedy, “Twelfth Night,” will be performed by ThunderRidge High School’s drama department in the school theater at 7 p.m. Jan. 23, 24, 25, bringing a delightful tale of mixed identities, disguises, love and over-the-top characters to charm an audience.

Kylene Hurley is director, aided by student director Lauren Noble.

Elise Collins plays Viola, who is shipwrecked off the coast of Illyria with her twin, Sebastian (Caleb Pimmel) — who goes missing. She disguises herself as a man, Cesario, to work at the court of Count Orsinio (D J Sandrock), who is pining over his love for Olivia, (Hannah Warntjes). Olivia won’t see anyone because she is mourning for her brother. Viola/Cesario

falls for Orsinio.

When Cesario is sent with a love letter to Olivia, she becomes interested in him.

We meet Olivia’s household, who lend the comic note: Sir Toby Belch (Toby Key), Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Alex Oliver), Malvolio the stuffy steward (Connor Jurrens) and Maria (Miranda Adams). Confusion ensues with all of these characters as viewers try to keep track of motives and manners.

Eventually Sebastian appears with his company and Olivia thinks he is Cesario and asks him to marry her — he thinks “why not?”

Other characters add to the story: Antonio (Addison Williams), Fool (Cara Sullivan), Fabian (Kenna Aukamp), Curio (Ella Morgan), Valentine (Ryan Fenske), Captain (Zak Christley), Servant (Danika Lambert), First Officer (Alyssa Stephens) and Second Officer (Max Prodis).

Eventually, the duke discovers Viola’s true nature and falls in love with her and all ends well — pretty much!

Courtesy photo by Michael Ensminger amputation is needed right now if Caleb is to live, he says, having gained experience working in the army hospital....”Get as drunk as you can,” Simon says, handing him a whiskey bottle after he cleans the wound with the whiskey.

At this point, a masked man peers in the window, then enters.

It’s John (Lawrence Curry), a younger former slave, who has been out stealing food, whiskey, furnishings, some very welcome coffee and more from adjoining deserted homes. Burlap bags accumulate through the evening as he keeps scavenging.

Simon commands him to help with the amputation, accom-

plished in a bit of theater magic — and we’re only 30 minutes into the script.

Tension lets up a bit from here on as the men discuss their mutual past in this house — including, for the slaves, occasional forced visits to the Whipping Man as punishment decreed by Caleb’s father.

John, who was Caleb’s age and a close playmate, recalls a day that Caleb asked to use the whip on John, a shocking few minutes that illustrated a lifestyle now gone.

Simon is pining for his wife Elizabeth and his daughter Sarah, who are with the master, he thinks. This connects to a packet of letters Caleb is carrying — written to the same

Sarah, his secret love.

Simon remembers that it’s the first night of Passover and he decides to hold a Seder dinner. We learn from the director’s notes that there were about 50,000 Jews in the south at the time and masters would bring their slaves into that faith, so Simon knew the ritual and even had a family Haggadah his master had given him. The ceremony, referring to the escape of the Jews from slavery long ago, symbolizes so much.

Food substitutions were made — a few pieces of hardtack served as matzoh bread. Candles were lit and John, highly literate when it was illegal to teach a slave to read,

said the prayers. “Your mother taught me the ABCs,” he told Caleb.

This intimate scene and the beautifully written script bring what was a horrendous time right into the faces of the audience.

As a final blow, John tells Simon that the master has sold Elizabeth and Sarah and Simon leaves to search for them, after letting John and Caleb know that they share the same father.

As the play ends, the two men are alone together. Will they stay?

Where does the future lead?

“The Whipping Man” is absolutely stunning theater, sending a viewer home with a great deal of material for thought.

Ballerina graces the big stage Parker teen aims for pro career

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ coloradocommunitymedia.com While her friends dropped out of ballet classes one by one as they got older, Meagan Van Deren’s determination never waned.

That’s precisely the reason why she graced the stage at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House Jan. 18, brimming with poise and confidence. The appearance, which included a four-minute dance solo, or variation, was the culmination of 13 years of painstaking work. But it’s just the beginning.

Normally, a child who starts a sport or hobby at age 3 grows weary with time. Not Van Deren. Now 16 years old, her focus on ballet is as strong as ever, and her sights are fixed on a professional career, preferably with an esteemed company in Europe.

The Parker native is well on her way to reaching that goal. She was handpicked two years ago for an audition with the National Ballet Academy of Denver and made it. She is one of only five students who attend the prestigious school.

Training for six hours a day, six days a week seems draining, and it is, but the lack of free time and numerous injuries are worth it.

“You pretty much always have an injury going, but it’s just something you go through and do physical therapy and get over it. You tough it out,” she said, adding heating and ice packs are part of her daily routine.

It’s a far cry from when she started. She began as a toddler at Parker Dance Academy and hopped around the stage aimlessly

Fort Collins has earned the dubious distinction of being named the fourth drunkest city in America, according to statistics compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Despite Kimberly’s messy family, with a con-artist aunt, alcoholic father and hypochondriac mother, Kimberly slowly gains control of her life — but she’s dying. Sixteen is as long as people usually live with this disease.

“It’s a long time since I’ve really loved a character — it’s heartbreaking,” Suttle said.

at her first recital, which her parents got on film. Van Deren dabbled in tap and jazz dance and, upon deciding that ballet was the direction she wanted to go, became more serious about the craft.

Instructors took notice of her blossoming talent and unwavering focus, urging her to aim high. She has further honed her technique under the guidance of former ballet dancers from Russia.

Her second appearance on the Ellie Caulkins stage, she says, is her biggest.

Professionals from around the globe flew in and performed alongside Van Deren, the only student at her school selected for the “An Evening of Stars” show. It featured a mix of dances from different ballets, but Van Deren’s was choreographed specifically for her, adding a never-before-seen element. The teen admitted beforehand that she was anxious, but prepared.

“When I’m on stage, it’s going to be more about the emotional aspect of it, just feeling the movement and not thinking about anything else but that moment,” she said. “You have the stage lights, but you have to do it confidently and you have to look beautiful and like you’re enjoying yourself.”

Van Deren, who attended Chaparral High School her freshman year but now does online schooling, is unsure why her love for ballet has never left. The idea that there is always room for improvement drives her. Van Deren figures she has two more years of intensive training before she can audition for European companies.

“I’ve never seen anything different for me,” she said. “I’ve always known it’s what I have to do. It’s what I want to do. It’s what I need to do.”

Have you been to Fargo? If so, you’ll totally understand this ranking because — especially in the winter when temperatures plunge to negative numbers that should never be seen by human beings — there’s nothing else to do.

It started in a garage and grew Douglas/Elbert Task Force to celebrate 30 years with concert

By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@coloradocommunitymedia. com A Castle Rock woman, knowing some local families were struggling financially, started collecting items in her garage to distribute to people who needed them.

Mela Rudolph knew the families well enough that she often knew just what they needed and would deliver the items to them, said Connie Huydts, 82, who started helping Rudolph soon after Rudolph started her garage project.

That was about 30 years ago. Rudolph and a couple of Rudolph’s friends, such as Minnie Hoffmann, who got involved with the effort, have died. But Huydts is still around.

And she’s still volunteering for the organization Rudolph started, which is now called the Douglas/Elbert Task Force, located in a former church building on Park Street.

Huydts will be one of several people and organizations honored — the first recipients of the new Rudolph Award — when the task force celebrates its 30th anniversary Feb. 16 with a concert featuring Firefall, a Colorado-based band formed in the 1970s.

Firefall had a string of hits and is known for its philanthropic efforts, said Joe Roos, the task force’s part-time director of philanthropy. Concert proceeds will go to help fund a $425,000 renovation project for the task force’s building on Park Street.

Huydts said she got involved in about 1983 because she, a Franktown resident, was in Castle Rock one day when she saw Rudolph and a pickup of things. She found out what Rudolph did and how she was preparing that day to move the growing operation from her garage to a small building located in the 100 block of South Wilcox Street behind the Castle Rock Motel.

Suzanne Greene, executive director of the Douglas/Elbert Task Force, stands in the middle of a renovation project that will add a private area to receive clients, among other improvements to the task force’s Castle Rock building. Photo by Virginia Grantier And she found out Rudolph needed helping moving, and she pitched in, and then never stopped pitching in.

“I’m no stranger to helping,” said Huydts, who grew up in Littleton during Great Depression years. “It was bred into me.”

She said her dad, employed as a machinist farmed on a neighbor’s land in his spare time and gave away vegetables to people who needed them. Her mom would cook extra supper and have the kids take it to neighbors she knew needed a hot meal.

Huydts said in Rudolph’s new space behind the motel, they had clothing, like

socks for a nickel a pair, but didn’t have food to offer or enough cash to help people pay rent, like the task force tries to do now.

At one point, to keep the struggling operation going, Rudolph, Huydts and a couple of others, donated $150 each — which she said equated to about $1,000 each at that time.

The task force has since moved a couple more times to bigger spaces — and the budget has changed.

Roos said the task force now has a $1.6 million annual budget — and 200 unpaid volunteers as well as two paid full-time

staff members, Suzanne Greene, executive director, and Christie Sbarra, store manager, and 10 paid part-time staff members.

Roos said about 10 percent of the budget covers administration costs and that they serve 16,000 clients every year.

“The vast majority goes directly to clients,” he said, about the task force’s services which can include helping to pay rent and utilities and providing food, clothing and household items.

He said the task force’s thrift shop generates about 25 percent of the revenues for the task force’s budget. But donations are crucial. For those who want to donate, the best way is cash, he said. For every $1 donated, the task force can buy $3.69 worth of food from the Food Bank of the Rockies.

He said the task force’s mission is to be a “first responder… helping neighbors whose lives are turned upside get back on track.”

Concert proceeds will help fund the $425,000 renovation of the task force’s 17,000-square-foot building, the former Church of the Rock building at 1638 Park St. The project includes turning part of the building’s 4,000-square-feet of unfinished space into a more private area to receive clients, and creating more finished space to accept donations. Other improvements include adding a sprinkler system in the building, a new heating and air conditioning system, new awnings, installation and new windows.

Firefall’s original lead singer and guitarist, Jock Bartley, recently toured the task force’s facility so he could see what they’re singing for, Roos said.

Roos said they’re holding the concert in February because the task force “is the best love story in Douglas and Elbert counties.”

The four-hour event will start at 3 p.m.

Feb. 16 at the Douglas Events Center at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Drive, Castle Rock. General admission tickets are $36.50.

Piano prodigy hails from China

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Great Stories in Music: the Fantastic Story of Peer Gynt” is the title for the next Littleton Symphony concert on Feb. 7 at Littleton United Methodist Church.

Incorporated in this performance is another great story: 18-year-old piano prodigy Jiaqi Long will perform Rachmaninoff’s “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paginini.”

Long was born in 1996 in Liuzhou,

Guanxi Province, China and started piano studies at age 4. He won the Little Musician’s Piano Competition a year later in his home province and won other competitions in the years that followed.

In 2007, he was admitted to the Pre-College Piano Division of the Guanxi Arts Institute, where he studied with Professor Cheng Jun, while he continued academic training at the Tiantao Elementary School.

While at the college, he had opportunities to perform for special guests, including Daniel Sher, Dean of the CU College of Music and pianist Larry Graham, Emeritus Professor of Music at CU. In August 2010, with his parent’s support, he traveled to Colorado,

where he is a student at Accelerated Schools and continues his piano studies with Professor Larry Graham and Jasmine Steadman, living with Jasmine Steadman and her husband Dale Steadman.

He continues to compete and won the 2012 Steinway Concerto Competition, earning the opportunity to perform with the Colorado Symphony and an invitation to play with the Littleton Symphony.

The program, conducted by Music Director Jurgen de Lemos, will also include; Liszt’s “Les Preludes,” and narration of Grieg’s fantastic tale for the “Peer Gynt Suite” by CPR Classical announcer David Rutherford.

Organ donors always needed Donations benefit all involved

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com If Joseph Gutierrez could give thanks this holiday season for the best gift he ever got, this is what he would say: “Thanks for having a son or daughter who was selfless in becoming a donor, because it helped save my life and my arm.”

And if Carol HutchinsonStepp could accept such thanks, she would say: “It feels really wonderful to know that there’s still a part of our son here that’s alive. Not being able to see those eyes is a tragedy, but those eyes allowed two other people to see. … Hopefully whoever has his eyes are seeing birds for the first time, or their children for the time, through his eyes.”

Roxborough resident Gutierrez and Littleton resident Hutchinson-Stepp don’t know each other, and neither of them know who their words should go to. But they both know that organ donation benefits both the recipient and the families of the deceased.

Hutchinson-Stepp’s 25-yearold stepson, C. Jay, died in February 2012 of congestive heart failure. It was completely unexpected, as the fun-loving young

man was rarely sick.

“We saw him in January for the Super Bowl,” she remembers.

“We had no idea he was that sick.

“He died Feb. 29, so the anniversary of his death is only every four years. Even in death, he did it his own way. The tears still come, and they probably always will. He lived his own life and had his own path, and we’re proud of him for that.”

She says when the family realized he had made the “very adult, grown-up decision” to be an organ donor, they knew they had to honor that choice. Though the disease had ravaged much of his body, his corneas were able to give the gift of sight to two people.

In November 2011, Gutierrez began having trouble with his left arm. It was swollen and painful, and he thought he had a torn rotator cuff. An MRI revealed something much worse — a giant-cell tumor. Although benign, such tumors can metastasize into the lungs.

His had begun to eat away at the bone in his upper arm, and doctors found it necessary to replace it with a donor humerus.

The tumor has come back twice, necessitating two more surgeries, but his new bone has weathered the storm.

“You kind of feel sorry for yourself when you’re in a situation like mine, but then you hear the donor families’ stories and you think, `You know what? You don’t have it so bad.’ At least they

C. Jay Stepp, stepmom Carole and dad Charlie spend a day at Elitch’s during happier times, before C. Jay’s unexpected death. Courtesy Photo were able to save my arm,” said Gutierrez, who is retired from his long-time career as an Englewood postal carrier.

He’s gotten the opportunity to meet many donors’ families through volunteering with Donor Alliance, the Limb Preservation Foundation and AlloSource, a large tissue-processing company in Centennial. That involvement garnered him a spot on the “Gift of Life” float two years running

in both Denver’s Parade of Lights and the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, Calif.

“It’s been a real rewarding experience,” he said. “Even though I’ve had three operations on my arm, I’ve gotten to meet some really fantastic people.”

Waving to the crowds with his left arm is a challenge, however, because he can only lift it about chest high.

“I do as much as I can within

my limitations,” said Gutierrez, 65, an avid outdoorsman. “It’s like I have one and a half arms.”

According to Donor Alliance, there are more than 2,200 people in Colorado waiting for an organ transplant, though 67 percent of Coloradans who have registered to be donors. To join them, visit DonateLifeColorado.org or call 303-329-4747. For more information, visit www.DonorAlliance. org.

Golden Eagles notch hoop win Mountain Vista boys best Heritage in league opener

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com Mountain Vista’s boys basketball team showed why they are 12-1 this season on Jan. 17 as they outpaced Heritage, 82-60 in the Continental League opener for both schools.

“Mountain Vista is a good basketball team that is well coached and in the top 10 in the state,” Heritage coach Jerry Byleveld said after the game. “Our kids are young and, we battled hard, but we fell short tonight.”

The Golden Eagles forced their share of turnovers to trigger their fast-pace attack.

“The up-tempo game is our style and that has been for a number of years,” Mountain Vista coach Bob Wood said.

“That style is why we are leading the state in scoring.”

Heritage (6-7) follows a Jan. 21 home league game against Legend with a league game Jan. 24 at Highlands Ranch and another Jan. 28 at Chaparral. Their next home game is Jan. 30 against Castle View.

Mountain Vista plays three home league games in a row. Following a Jan. 21 contest against Rock Canyon, the Golden Eagles host Littleton Jan. 24 and Regis Jan. 28. They then hit the road Jan. 31 at Douglas County.

After a 5-5 start to the Mountain Vista-Heritage game, the Golden Eagles aggressive defense and fact-pace attack generated 10 unanswered points to put Mountain Vista ahead for good.

The Golden Eagles pushed the ball up the court at full speed while defensively they used an aggressive, trapping system

Mountain Vista took an early advantage and ran away with the win. Photo by Tom Munds that puts a lot of pressure on the player with the ball. The system produced points as Mountain Vista extended the lead to 45-30 going into the final quarter and went on to win the game by 22.

“Mountain Vista always plays the fastpace style which is faster than we usually play,” Byleveld said. “We try to simulate the style in practice but even then, it’s not like facing the real thing.”

Heritage junior Tom Skufka, the only Eagles player with varsity experience, said it was a tough game for his team but the goal is to learn from the battle with Mountain Vista.

“We played hard but just couldn’t seem to slow them down,” he said. “But we are a young team and this game is a way to learn more about that kind of system. We’ll keep working to improve and we’ll get it together to become a better basketball team.”

While Heritage played without any seniors, the Golden Eagles are a veteran team and Wood said he gets solid leadership from the eight seniors on his roster.

“They play hard and they play together,” he said. “We go to the boards and I like the fact the players are unselfish.

Coming into tonight, we had six players averaging double figures in scoring. We made it to the Final Four last year and we’ll be working to get there again and go even further.”

Senior Jonathan Moore led the scoring for the Golden Eagles with 17 points in the win.

“This was an all-right game for me personally but I am just glad our team got the W,” he said. “Normally, I am probably best on defense but tonight was one of those nights it seemed every shot I took went through the hoop. That made it a fun night for me.”

At times, Paula Krueger can sit on the bench and watch how well her ThunderRidge girls basketball team can play. At other times, Krueger is her usual energetic self, yelling instructions and encouragement.

Krueger, in her first season as ThunderRidge coach after nine years as head women’s coach at Colorado School of Mines, has a young team featuring six sophomores, four juniors and three seniors on her 13-player roster.

“We have moments when we show our youth and moments when we look like we’ve played together for lots and lots of years,” confessed Krueger. “Maturity and experience are a strange combination. I’ve always said the best thing about young kids is that they get older. With every game we get older. That’s a really important piece.

Our team at times lacks a little leadership because we are so young.

“When we play together at times, we are as good as I’ve seen and I’ve coached a lot of basketball in my day. We need longer spurts of that so we can start to gain some confidence and momentum. We do one or two minutes. What we need is three, four or five, go into a timeout and come out of that timeout and still keep that pedal to the floor.”

ThunderRidge played well in its Continental League opener as the Grizzlies pulled away from Douglas County in the second half Jan. 17 for a 56-35 victory in the Huskies gym. The fifth-ranked Grizzlies (84) had lost four of their five previous games, including three in the Nike Tournament of Champions as well as a 50-45 setback to Denver East.

“We started the season really well then we hit a lull and lost some of that confidence,” related Kruger. “We didn’t play the way we wanted to in the Tournament of Champions. When you are a young team, adversity has a different way of affecting you. You need to find your way out of it. We didn’t do a good job of that. And I probably didn’t do a good job of helping them find a way to do that.

“Against Douglas County, the second half and the start of the third quarter they started to feel some confidence again. Anytime you lose four out of five games you start to question. We just need to get back to who we are.

There was a time there where we lost that and wondered who exactly we are. We have to get out of our way quite often.”

This season’s captains are sophomores Madison Ward and Taylor Rusk.

“Definitely our leadership comes from our underclassmen,” said Ward.

Ward and Rusk were regulars as freshmen last season. Juniors Jessica Zweifel and Alexandra Kaminsky were also full-time players while seniors Taylor Reiner and Cici Wade provide Krueger with additional experience.

“The biggest challenge for them is they had a definitive leader last year in Brianna Troop,” said Krueger. “She was the person.

So trying to figure out how they are going to fill that spot, what’s the best way for them to be leaders, they are still trying to figure that out. With every game it is getting better.”

Rusk scored 21 points including 14 in the second half to spark the Grizzlies over Douglas County who opened the third quarter with a 9-0 run and outscored the Huskies 33-9 in the second half.

Sophomore Jaz’Myne Snipes finished with 10 points for ThunderRidge while sophomore Alyssica Martinez had eight points as the Grizzlies dropped Douglas County to 6-6.

It’s more than simply a game Duo plays for Israel Lacrosse, returns home with strengthened faith

By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Although Highlands Ranch residents Noah Hirshorn and Andrew Medina spent a week in Israel for lacrosse, they came back home with a lot more than playing time.

“I was raised Jewish — going to Sunday School, I had my bar mitzvah in the sixth grade — but lately I’ve been going to the synagogue maybe twice a year. I kind of stopped practicing (the religion),” Medina said. “This trip reconnected me to my heritage.”

The teenagers, both 16, were selected to visit the country to play in exhibition games and host clinics for the Israel Lacrosse Association, an organization dedicated to developing the sport across the Jewish nation. After arriving at the Wingate Institute, an Olympic training facility, team members spent the next several days practicing and touring the country.

Head coach Noah Miller said the teens were “passionate” about the game and “leaders both on and off the field.” Although key in an exhibition victory over a Polish team, Miller said they embodied the heart of the program more through outreach.

“What is perhaps more important and admirable was their desire to contribute to the development of the game, taking lead roles in running clinics with our youth players in Ashkelon,” Miller said.

On Dec. 25, the organization held clinics for school children in Ashkelon, nestled by the Mediterranean Sea just a few miles near the Gaza Strip. After a day of scrim-

Noah Hirshorn (10) participates in an exhibition game against Poland on Dec. 30. Courtesy photo mages, teammates pulled together dozens of pounds of lacrosse equipment to donate to the schools, the teens said.

“In Ashkelon, the kids were so happy.

We bonded, not through words, but the sport itself,” Hirshorn said. “We saw our coaches fill bags until they were about to break. We collected about 50 good-sized duffel bags.”

“The coaches told us this time last year, they were in bomb shelters,” Medina said.

Amid the practices and clinics, the teammates were also whisked around to various landmarks in Israel, including the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem and Yad Vashem, a living memorial to the Holocaust in Jerusalem. In Poland, they visited Treblinka, an infamous extermination camp established by Nazi Germany when it occupied Poland during World

War II. Medina said the experience was hard to put into words.

“It makes you realize that you’ll never fully grasp it. It was indescribable,” he said.

“It was like nothing I would have imagined. It was hard to take it in, to understand why someone would do those things to other humans,” Hirshorn said. “It was a good moment to unite the team, to remember who we were playing for.”

Hirshorn also spent time with members of his father’s family who still live in Israel, cousins and aunts he said he had never met, on Dec. 27.

“I visited great aunts and had a Shabbat dinner, taught my younger cousins lacrosse. On the way back, I saw the apartment where my dad grew up and the elementary school that he attended,” Hir-

shorn said. “It was a good night.”

On Dec. 30, the teens participated in exhibition games between teams from Poland and Latvia. After losing 7-5 in a “very physical game” to the Latvian team, Hirshorn and Medina said they felt redeemed in a 6-4 victory over Poland.

“It felt good to get a win with `Israel’ on our jerseys,” Medina said.

“Everything on the trip led up to this,” Hirshorn added.

The teenagers left for home later that night, a goodbye that Medina called “bittersweet.”

“We played a lot of lacrosse, but we had a lot of time to experience Israel,” Hirshorn said. “To participate in something like this, spreading the sport across Israel, was incredible. They are growing the game from grassroots.”

‘Now I don’t like the word adventure’ Highlands Ranch girl is kicking cancer’s ‘stache’

By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@ coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s been about a year since 7-year-old Delaney Stafford was diagnosed with leukemia, but that does not stop her from running down the stairs at the sound of a doorbell or getting in tickle fights with her father.

“I’ve only heard her say, `this isn’t fair,’ twice since she was diagnosed last year,” her mother, Stacey Stafford, said.

“We’ve been really blessed that she is handling her treatment well.”

Delaney, a first-grade student at Redstone Elementary, is a bit of a tomboy, according to her father. Her favorite Star Wars character is Darth Vader, she plays soccer and basketball and “loves all things LEGO,” her mother added.

She has a fondness for mustaches, bowties and top hats, too. Mustaches in particular have become a theme in her recovery, from selling bracelets to running marathons.

Of course, she also loves her Denver Broncos.

“She got an opportunity to go on the field once before a game and Trindon Holliday came to the sideline and gave her his gloves,” Stacey said. “She just about died and he has been her favorite player ever since.”

Delaney was diagnosed on Feb. 25, 2013, with leukemia — a blood disease with a survival rate of 59 percent, according to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Stacey called it a “surreal moment.”

“Everything moved so fast with the bone marrow, surgery, chemotherapy. And all I can think is, `do we need a second opinion? Is this really right?’” Stacey said.

A few days after she was diagnosed, Delaney requested anesthesiologists to draw a mustache on her face while she was unconscious during a procedure.

When asked if she was serious, the answer was an emphatic “yes,” according to the Staffords.

“They drew up a consent form, and she signed it. They put three different pictures of mustaches on the form, and she circled the one she wanted,” Stacey said. “I think it really helped. It gave her something to look forward to.”

Signs of trouble and moving forward

The first sign of trouble came when the energetic young girl cried out in the middle of the night with swelling near her ear. Doctors thought she might have an infection. But after batteries of tests and doctor visits leading to her diagnosis, Delaney got a little tired of how her mother tried to help her cope.

“She called it an adventure, and now I don’t like the word ‘adventure,’” Delaney said, scoffing loudly when her mother recounted the tale.

The family has been selling t-shirts and bracelets with the catchphrase “Cancer can kiss my stache!” online and at school events, said her dad, Tom Stafford, who came up with the name for a friend’s team in a charity run.

“What’s surprised me most is people’s generosity,” Stacey said. “The scariest thing was how we were going to make ends meet, but we haven’t had any major problems.”

Delaney has barely missed any school either, added her mother.

“We haven’t been too worried about her keeping up,”

Delaney Stafford plays in the snow the day before she was diagnosed with leukemia on Feb. 24. 2013.

Delaney Stafford awakes after a procedure to find a mustache drawn on her face a few days after she was diagnosed with cancer. Courtesy photos Tom said. “She’s a smart cookie.”

Delaney has been in remission since the end of March 2013 and has about a year-and-a-half left in her treatment.

She is currently undergoing doses of steroids and chemotherapy to maintain that remission, says her mother, an oncology nurse by trade. The highest chance for relapse is in the spine, which entails injections by spinal tap, she added.

Although they hope she never needs it, the family said that if Delaney ever needs a bone marrow transplant, they will turn to Love Hope Strength, an organization that pairs up donors with patients.

The Staffords are also working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“It’s hard with these kids, because they don’t really desperately want anything. They just want all of it to be over,” Stacey said.

The mother of four said they chose to go on a Disney cruise in May when all the children are out of school.

“She also told them she wanted to ride around in a Jeep or a limousine, and to wear a tuxedo all the while,” Stacey said.

Delaney’s eldest sister Emily cut hair to her ears and her father had his head buzzed at a St. Baldrick’s event for solidarity last year. The family has also teamed up with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. They are currently raising funds for a “Team In Training” to run a half-marathon later this year, with $3,915 pledged toward their $14,400 goal.

The name of the team?

“Cancer can kiss my stache.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JAN 20, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Although you’re getting kudos and other positive reactions to your suggestions, don’t let the cheers drown out some valid criticisms. Better to deal with them now than later.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Following your keen Bovine intuition pays off, as you not only reassess the suggestions some people are putting in front of you, but also their agendas for doing so.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) You continue on a highenthusiasm cycle as that new project you’ve assumed takes shape. You’re also buoyed by the anticipation of receiving some good news about a personal matter.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your eagerness to immerse yourself in your new assignment is understandable. But be careful that you don’t forget to take care of that pressing personal situation as well.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) This is a good time to learn a new skill that could give a clever Cat an edge in the upcoming competition for workplace opportunities. Enjoy the arts this weekend with someone special.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) You could risk creating an impasse if you insist on expecting more from others than they’re prepared to give. Showing flexibility in what you’ll accept could prevent a stalemate.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Although you can weigh all factors of a dispute to find an agreeable solution for others, you might need the skilled input of someone you trust to help you deal with an ongoing situation of your own.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) The good news is that your brief period of self-doubt turns into a positive “I can do anything” attitude. The better news is that you’ll soon be able to prove it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) This is a good time for Sagittarians to start making travel plans while you still can select from a wide menu of choices and deals, and not be forced to settle for leftovers.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Like your zodiacal sign, the sure-footed Goat, you won’t allow obstacles in your path to keep you from reaching your goal.

Don’t be surprised by who asks to go along with you.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Let your head dominate your heart as you consider the risks that might be involved in agreeing to be a friend’s co-signer or otherwise act as his or her backup in a financial matter.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Prioritize: Resolve to close the door and let your voicemail take your phone calls while you finish up a task before the end-of-week deadline. Then go out and enjoy a fun-filled weekend.
