CU, Jabs simplify art of starting business Center for Entrepreneurship opens at CU South Denver By Chris Michlewicz

Of kaleidoscopes and kindness Newton kids learn STEM concepts with a dose of generosity By Jennifer Smith
jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com Joshua Price knows what it’s like to be sick, scared and just a kid. The sixthgrader has already been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. “I cried, because it was a big shock,” he said. “I started thinking in depth about everything that might happen to me.” The diagnosis came during a visit to Children’s Hospital, one he did not particularly enjoy.
“Most of the kids are there for a long time,” he said. “I was there for 10 hours, and I was bored.” So when Marc Finer, Price’s STEM teacher at Newton Middle School, came up with the idea to make kaleidoscopes and donate some to Children’s, Joshua thought that was a great idea. So did Joyce Butler, who is on the hospital’s board of directors. “This is a great way to pay back the community and share back your experience and your knowledge with a whole bunch of other kids,” she told Finer’s class on Dec. 18, during her visit to accept the kaleidoscopes. The students were excited to explain how they made them, and to show off the laser engraver they used to write “Manufactured and donated to Children’s Hospital Colorado by Newton Middle School’s STEM classes” on the
oak and cherrywood base, along with the date and school logo. They carefully placed three mirrors in a plastic tube to form a triangle, then filled it with mineral oil and colored sand. When aimed at a light source, the effect is a swirling cacophony of sparkly beauty. “The children will be really fascinated with this,” said Butler. “And what a wonderful time to receive them. A lot of kids have to be there for the holidays.” The idea came in part because Finer’s 14-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn, has been volunteering at Children’s for nearly a year. “She loves it,” he said. “She’s gained perspective on what the children are going through. Not everyone is perfect. Everyone goes through their own struggles.”
Jake Jabs would have seized the opportunity to draw from Denver’s deep pool of entrepreneurial talent. Most Coloradans know him as the successful, tiger-loving pitchman and founder of American Furniture Warehouse. But before his face and distinctive voice made their way onto our television sets, Jabs navigated a world unknown to him. For years, he struggled to avoid the common pitfalls that can derail a fledgling business. “Everything was by the seat of my pants, and I made a lot of mistakes,” Jabs says. Things have come full circle, and the University of Colorado’s Center for Entrepreneurship now has Jabs’ name attached to it. He donated $10 million to the school, primarily because Jabs he wanted to give Denver’s ever-growing contingent of entrepreneurs a chance to bypass those headaches. And because there is an inherent willingness among seasoned entrepreneurs to assist their business-green brethren, Jabs and CU are putting the pieces in place this spring to breed success. Known as the Launchpad, the program is intended to help entrepreneurs either start their own business or improve an existing business. “I’m a big believer in entrepreneurship,” Jabs said. “It’s driving America — new ideas and new programs, how to do things better.” By offering entrepreneurship classes at CU’s new facility at The Wildlife Experience, on the southwest corner of Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street, the south metro area is about to become a wellspring for Jabs continues on Page 5
South metro stories of the year A look at the top 10 of 2014 Staff report In the south metro Denver area, this past year was one of hope and change, inspiration and pain, growth and remembrance. The following are the top 10 stories of 2014, in no particular order, as chosen by Colorado Community Media’s editorial staff.
Business is booming

In November, Colorado’s unemployment rate fell to 4.1 percent, the lowest since early 2008, before the recession slammed the country. The south metro area did its part in job creation in 2014, as businesses continued to find the region an attractive place to set up shop or expand. Some of the major developments of the year: • Sterling Ranch won another legal battle in February and forged ahead in northwest Douglas County. At build-out, the development is expected to include more than
12,000 homes and spawn a number of businesses around it. • Charles Schwab opened its new Lone Tree campus in early October. As many as 4,000 employees are ultimately expected to work inside the office buildings. • Also in October, plans were unveiled for The Jones District, and early stages of groundwork began on the mixed-use development in Centennial. The project calls for 1.8 million square feet of residential, commercial and retail establishments. Year end continues on Page 7

Local kittens hit the big time Several chosen for photos in calendar By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Kittens live as adventurous a life as they can muster within the confines of their home. But sometimes if they’re spotted in the act of adorability, they can become an international star, if only for a day. Curious, bug-eyed and playful, they have names like Miss Annabelle, Sweetie Cake and Fancy Pants, and they hail from as far away as Canada and Japan. The majority of the subjects in the “365 Days of Kittens” calendar for 2015, however, live in the United States, and a few are from the Denver metro area. There is “Yoda,” a gray ball of fluff from Parker snapped while stalking prey in a patch of grass. Then, there are Sydney and Aimee, Highlands Ranch siblings with big, blue eyes and pointy ears, who look like they’re up to no good. Kathy Flanagan, a resident of Castle Rock, has five of her kittens featured in the 2015 calendar, distributed by Workman Publishing Co. Inc. In fact, several kittens that she has fostered on behalf of the Cat Care Society in Lakewood have crept their way onto the pages of the calendar and, in turn, into the hearts of feline-lovers over the years. This year, Divot, Widget and Brassie each get their own day, while lazing litter-mates Fancy Pants and Fanta are forced to share Sept. 3. “It’s so much fun,” says Flanagan, who has fostered more than 300 kittens. “Everyone (selected for the calendar) gets one for Christmas. I have one for work and home.” It was 13 years ago that a friend gave her a kitten calendar, and Flanagan saw the entry form on the back. Knowing that she had “plenty of great raw material” to work with, Flanagan started shooting photos with her digital camera. The photos that appear in the 2015 calendar were taken more than five years ago, and Brassie, Widget and Divot are all grown up and have found forever families. By being immortalized in the calendar though, memories of the kittens will endure.

CU is partnering with community colleges to bring in students who have considered pursuing a full degree but don’t have the necessary time or money. By taking just a few eight-week courses on their own schedule, students can earn a certificate of entrepreneurship from CU, bolstering their traditional education with the knowledge of how to start a business. The idea is to send them out into the world well-equipped to face any challenge. “We teach them the basic skills of business: accounting Business Startup Assistance and balancing a budget and how to borrow money, how to make ends meet and live within your means,” Jabs said.

Digression could be a side-to-side effect I am going to column-up today, because upping something is the latest gimmick expression, and I try to monkey see and monkey-up whenever I can. This column is gluten-free. It is also dust-free, peanut-free and animal dander-free. But I am supposed to warn you about the side effects, if you decide to read the whole thing. We usually think of side effects as being bad or harmful. But not all of them are. The side effects of love are pretty great: the intimacy, the heart-to-heart conversations, the breathless yearning for each other, breaking up, making up. Sunset walks, road trips, cornhole tournaments in the Midwest, playful arguments about the Spanish Inquisition. Studies have shown that my columns might cause some very interesting secondary effects. You may become erudite. If you have an erudition that lasts longer than four hours, congratulations. Don’t call your physician. And don’t call your doctor either. You might want a baked potato covered with cottage cheese. That’s the way I take it. The glass may no longer look half full. It might not even look half empty. I think we’re running on empty. The song “Running on Empty” was written by Jackson Browne. On the way into a Pink Floyd concert in Phoenix in 1977, a kid came up to me and said, “Are you Jackson Browne?” I guess I looked a little like he did
back then, but I don’t have his jaw. I started to sing “Doctor My Eyes,” and the kid said, “Never mind.” You might take an interest in hypothyroidism, and look up all of the signs and symptoms. I have it. I have to take pills, otherwise I guess I go off the rails. The pills have a name that no one can spell. And there is a reason for that. The chemists were all a little punchy when they came up these pills, and decided to have some fun at our expense. I take Thansyllapectinocus. It’s an anagram of “Can’t spell this, can you?” Those rascals. You might become preoccupied with finding out why they named Des Moines “Des Moines,” just like I was. I learned that they were going to name it “Nancy Louise,” but eventually thought better of it. You could experience Restless Lego Syndrome. The question becomes: Do you make an aircraft carrier or Ginger Rogers? You may try to come up with some
surprising uses for vinegar. You might worry about growing hair on your teeth. Out of the blue, you will start to use your damn turn signals for a change. Inexplicably, you might drive to an animal shelter and look at all of the great dogs and cats that need a home. You will finally give Beethoven a try. You will start to express yourself in tangents, like I do. Someone will say that it’s been a good year, and you will do five minutes on the history of vulcanization. You will find the Cheetos in the freezer, like I do. But don’t worry. This isn’t going to shorten your intestines by 21 feet. (I am paraphrasing Steve Martin.) You will forget about this column an hour after you read it and all of these side effects will have worn off. That’s the same thing that happens when I eat at that wonderful new Chinese restaurant. I forget what I had for lunch an hour later. I forget the last time I ate there. We’re getting close to the end here, and as I said, some side effects aren’t all that bad.

Don’t limit attempts to seek a better life Let me ask you a simple question, and you can take just a few seconds to think about this and answer it honestly. So here it is, do you think there is something you can do or say in the next day, week, month or year to make your personal life or your professional life worse? Of course the answer is yes, we could all torpedo our lives if we really tried to, couldn’t we? I mean, some of us can do something in the next few seconds or minutes to make things go horribly wrong. Now answer the same question slightly differently, is there something you can do in the next day, week, month, or year to make your personal life or your professional life better? And, of course, the answer once again is yes. So if we know that there are things we can personally do to make all aspects of our lives better, or even just any aspect of our life better, why don’t we? For some, it’s just because they have never known any differently, they allow things to happen and influence their directions and actions instead of setting their own
course for success. They attach their sail to someone else’s boat. Now, believe it or not, there are also some that are of the belief that good things or goodness only happen to other people and that those good things are out of their grasp. Or they subscribe to the old saying that “no good deed goes unpunished.” It’s time we changed that thinking and believe in goodness, good people, and good and worthy goals. Remember the two questions above, we get to choose if we will do something — anything, for that matter, that will make our lives better or worse — and that choice is up to us. It’s coming up on New Year’s Eve, and
there is no better time to think of setting and pursuing a good and worthy goal. Now many of us will set the traditional goals or check the box and proclaim our New Year’s resolutions, including more family time, lose weight, stop smoking, make more money, and a host of other personal goals. I would like to challenge us all a little more this year, think outside the box when it comes to goal setting and New Year’s resolutions. As a matter of fact, let’s forget the box, the box doesn’t exist anymore, let’s just max out or imagination and creativity and come up with goals of goodness, plans for success, and resolve to making the decisions that will make 2015 a wonderful year personally and professionally. Let those two questions I asked in the beginning of this column sink in again for a minute. Is there something, anything at all, that you can do or say that will make your life better or worse? Remember that “you” are the key in the question, “you” get to make the decision, “you” get to set Norton continues on Page 7

Year end Continued from Page 1
• In November, a $177 million project broke ground in Castle Rock. The Promenade at Castle Rock will feature 1 million square feet of retail and dining establishments. Meanwhile, national retailers continued to pick the south metro area as their first Colorado home. Following in the footsteps of IKEA and Cabela’s in recent years, L.L. Bean opened in Lone Tree in November. At the same time, the area continued to grow into something of a hub for the craft beer industry, with breweries popping up, particularly along the C-470 corridor.
Community seeks answers, healing
The Dec. 13, 2013 shooting at Arapahoe High School left two students dead, and painful emotions and questions swirled into 2014. The biggest question seemed to be this: Could the school district have done more to prevent Karl Pierson’s attack, which ended with his suicide shortly after he fatally shot Claire Davis? In October, 10 months after the shooting, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office released a 37-page summary of its investigative report. The probe found no criminal liability on the part of the school district. The report revealed that Pierson had several run-ins with school administration and had kept a diary that was a window into a troubled soul bent on mayhem and murder.
But 2014 was also a year of healing for the Arapahoe High community. In August, Clarity Commons, a peaceful park-like space, was dedicated in Claire Davis’ honor on the Arapahoe campus. The school library where Pierson shot himself to death was remodeled and reopened. And on the one-year anniversary, hundreds turned out for a candlelight ceremony at the school. “We are stronger, we are more aware, we are focused, we are kinder, we are united and, ultimately, we are successful,” student body president Sanjay Patil said during the event.
More than a game
Bailey Roby just wanted to play. But the Mountain Vista High School basketball player made headlines around the country when he couldn’t. His two prosthetic legs got him up and down the court just fine — it was the Colorado High School Activities Association that temporarily kept him out of the game. Citing safety risks to Roby and the players around him, CHSAA officials in January ruled that Roby, a senior reserve for the Golden Eagles, could no longer play. Midway through the season, it looked as if Roby wouldn’t be able to contribute on the court as Vista pushed for the playoffs. News broke about Roby’s plight and traveled around the nation. At home in Highlands Ranch, his classmates took up his cause with a massive social media campaign. Less than a week later, CHSAA said OK, Roby can play, as long as both teams agree on certain safety parameters. Vista would advance all the way to the state semifinals, but
fans of the team would look at Roby’s re-entry as the biggest victory of the season.
Changing of the guard
A class above The University of Colorado’s announcement in early March that it would begin classes at The Wildlife Experience in northern Douglas County in the fall was only the start. In a surprise move, the founders of The Wildlife Experience announced in September that it was donating the museum to CU, a $40 million gift that is among the largest in the school’s history. The university has renovated 11,000 square feet of underutilized space and began holding classes in the fall. A second phase of construction will begin in 2015. Meanwhile, administrators from CU South Denver have promised to maintain The Wildlife Experience’s most popular programs and keep the Extreme Screen Theater open to the public. CU South Denver has courses in business, engineering, public health, education and nursing. The planned expansion of classes in various areas of study means the university’s profile will only grow in the Douglas County community. The first classes were tailored to fit in with existing industries in Douglas and Arapahoe counties, creating a symbiotic relationship that is expected to flourish well into the future.
Near-record run comes to end When Valor Christian’s football team arrived at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Nov. 29, it was looking to match the state record for most consecutive championships. Limon won six in a row in the 1960s. Valor would have to settle for five — accumulated in three classifications — after losing a thrilling, one-point game to Cherry Creek, a previously powerful program now on the upswing under one of the state’s all-time greatest coaches, Dave Logan. Earlier in the season, Creek ended another Valor streak, handing the Eagles their first loss to a Colorado opponent in 28 games. But Valor was undaunted and wound up where they were accustomed to being: at the Denver Broncos’ home field, playing for a championship. The Eagles trailed early in the title tilt, then rallied like a champion late to take the lead and stand on the cusp of matching history. A highlight-reel touchdown run by Milo Hall pulled the Bruins to within a point. But there would be no tie this late, with this much at stake. Logan opted to go for a two-point try. Creek converted, stopped the ensuing Valor drive and took home the ninth title in its history and first since 1996.
Spurlock
Weaver
Brackney
At the end of January, longtime Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson handed over the reins to David Walcher. Robinson’s retirement would mark just the first of several high-profile leadership changes in the south metro area in 2014. Consider: • In early March, Gary Sears announced his retirement after 17 years as Englewood’s city manager. Eric Keck took over the post in September. • In late March, John Brackney resigned with little explanation after 10 years as president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. In June, Robert Golden was named his successor. • In July, Jack Hilbert left his post as a Douglas County Commissioner, a seat he was elected to in 2006, for a job with the Colorado Department of Human Services, Child Welfare Protection Division. • David Weaver, Douglas County sheriff since 2005, was appointed to replace Hilbert in late July. Weaver was then elected to the seat on the board of county commissioners in November. • Also in July, Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock was appointed to replace Weaver as sheriff. Voters chose Spurlock for the job in November. The November election brought about a number of new faces in south metro leadership for 2015, including replacements for term-limited state Reps. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, and Spencer Swalm, RCentennial; term-limited state Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch; and state Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, who decided that three terms are enough. In addition, Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy announced in October that he will retire after the end of the school year.

Changing area gets nod from foodie website

Fo u r p a i n t e r s f i l l g a l l e r y Exhibition coincides with comedy at Littleton venue By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Four seasoned area painters will collaborate to fill the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center with an exhibit called “The Art of Color” from Jan 6 through Feb. 10. The public is invited to a reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 16 in the downtown Littleton gallery. The show coincides with the comedy “The Clean House” by Sarah Ruhl, which will be playing upstairs in the theater. It’s about a colorful Brazilian maid, who would rather be a comic. The painters involved are Delores Peterson, Mary (Molly) Squibb, Maryann Leake and Saundra Lane Galloway. Peterson, who lives in Roxborough, has been a Colorado resident since 1959 and has been an active oil painter for more than 45 years, “creating in the realist tradition.” She works outdoors, gathering material in the form of oil and watercolor sketches from many areas in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Great Britain. She also takes photographs to capture details — which may or may not be included in the final painting, when it is finished later in her studio. “Inspired by workshops taught by contemporary impressionists, she is able to work en plein air, while ignoring onlookers and weather conditions.” Currently, she is concentrating on Southwestern subject matter and Western mountain landscapes, with occasional wildlife for variety. Squibb writes that she “looks for beauty in unusual places. That means being curious about `the underside of life.’ Yes, I paint traditional landscape, but I also love a tangle of leaves on a trail or colors in old oil cans by a shed. … “Scouting for painting ideas, I am often inspired by what is old and used, but wears
Thrillist.com, the Internet commentator on all things food-related, has chosen RiNo, Denver’s Riverfront North neighborhood, as one of the 18 Best Food Neighborhoods in America. While RiNo as a destination dining ‘hood is fairly new and continually growing, its foodie scene lacks historical reference to call upon, unlike other neighborhoods in New Orleans, Boston, Charleston, Chicago and San Francisco, which are also on the list. Here’s what Thrillist said about RiNo, “Once upon a time, this was a neighborhood Denverites would go to if they wanted to have a nice night out ... and then get mugged afterwards. Now? It’s practically swarming with hot restaurants and breweries. Part of that is due to The Source, an enormous 20,000-square-foot artisan food market that houses one of Denver’s best restaurants (Acorn), coffee roasters (Boxcar), breweries (Crooked Stave) and plenty more. “Four other exemplary craft breweries have taprooms in the neighborhood as well, including the Utah-transplant Epic Brewing, which knows (its) way around a sour. For food, Work & Class serves up shared plates of delicious Latin/American food, Cart-Driver is the tiny, high-quality pizza joint every neighborhood deserves, and Los Chingones is the Mexican food outpost of one of Denver’s finest restaurateurs.” See the other 17 picks at www.thrillist. com/eat/nation/18-best-food-neighborhoods-in-america-flushing-west-loop-themission.

She worked in journalism and marketing communication until 2005, when she turned her attention fully to art. She has studied at the Art Students Leagues in New York and Denver, including extensive studies with master artist and teacher Kevin Weckbach. Leake, also a Roxborough resident, writes that she is “still painting Koi. I have been obsessing about them ever since I lived in California. … Descanso Gardens in La Canada has a beautiful tea house where the koi reside under the bridge and trees far above shade them. “I used to be a florist.” Still lifes always contain flowers.

IF YOU GO “The Art of Color” will be in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main Street in downtown Littleton, from Jan. 6 to Feb. 10. A reception is planned from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 16. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances of “The Clean House.” 303-794-2787, townhallartscenter.org. pressionism, owned an art exhibit company, is gallery manager for the Roxborough Arts Gallery, illustrated children’s books, designed sets for Valor Christian High School and assisted with art exhibits for her church — and been active in the Colorado Watercolor Society. Galloway is exhibiting mixed media pieces that are the result “of many years of experimentation. … Often, I will have several media in one painting: acrylic, paper, oil and sometimes found objects or paper casts made from my own molds. `Aspen Lights and Shadows’ was my breakout piece; meaning the first of its kind, with the abstract background and paper stream moving through and the subject matter painted a little more realistically ….” She continues that she has loved trees since childhood and walked in many forests “and actually stood and looked for long minutes trying to understand just what they were about. … I admire their strength and stamina through harsh winters and weather events ….”
Thrillist also lauded seven old-school steakhouses in Colorado. I still get misty-eyed over Emil-Lene’s Sirloin House in Aurora, which closed last spring, but this is an admirable list of steakhouses that get less mention than Elway’s, Mortons, Del Frisco’s, Shanahan’s, et al: 1. The Broker Restaurant, 821 17th St. (Remember the shrimp bowl?) 2. Mickey’s Top Sirloin, 6950 Broadway 3. The Buckhorn Exchange, 1000 Osage St., where what you’re eating glares down at you in its taxidermy form. 4. The Summit Steakhouse, 2700 S. Havana St., Aurora. We used to live within walking distance of this place where American Furniture Warehouse honcho Jake Jabs often bellied up and belted out songs at the piano bar. 5. Columbine Steak House & Lounge, 300 Federal Blvd. 6. Charco Broiler, 1716 E. Mulberry St., Fort Collins. 7. Bastien’s Restaurant, 3503 E. Colfax Ave., home of the sugar steak.

Intellectual property is subject of classes Expert offers three free sessions at Curtis center By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Who owns it? How do I show that I created it? What if someone takes credit for my work? What if someone does something that looks like/sounds like my work?” Artists of all genres are invited to three free classes at Curtis Arts and Humanities Center addressing intellectual property issues. They will be taught by Pam Roth O’Mara, a Centennial resident with multiple skills O’Mara in legal matters, writing, theater and more. Class times vary, but they will all be held at the Curtis Arts and Humanities Center, 2349 E. Orchard Road, Greenwood Village. • On Jan. 6 at 5:30 p.m., O’Mara will discuss “Intellectual Property Basics for Artists, Authors, Designers, Musicians, Inventors, Innovators, Photographers and Arts Management.” This session will introduce a range of intellectual property, or IP, protection methods, including copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret. • On Jan. 15 at 3:30 p.m., the class will cover “Managing the Intellectual Assets in Your Life: Intellectual Property Due Diligence for Estate Planning and Representation, Investing and Personal Property Management.” Untapped intellectual assets and undervalued intellectual property are detrimental to personal estates, small businesses and corporations. This session guides you through issues to consider in IP audits. • On Feb. 6 at 3:30 p.m., the class topic will be “What the Contract really says: Know What You’re Getting Into.” Have you ever signed a contract to find you’ve unintentionally agreed to something? Do you understand everything you see? “Right brain/left brain — I can go back and forth,” O’Mara said. Her bio lists nu-
merous skills: author, artist, coach, director, instructor, performer, producer, publicist, publisher. She attended law school at night while working as a technical writer in the computer industry, gaining her knowledge about intellectual-property law. But, she did not choose to go into practice, since she saw another path ahead that included arts, which were part of her life. She recalls her first Broadway show, a birthday celebration, in 1961. She started a kids’ theater when 15 or 16 and learned improv skills when interning at a regional theater on Long Island. She lived in New England for 30 years and moved to Colorado almost eight years ago with her brother, sister-in-law and father. And she married at that point as well. She prepared 20-minute improv routines and wants to use the skill to do storytelling. She has performed at Bovine Theater and Denver Puppet Theater. O’Mara has taught improv skills at Arapahoe Community College and will have a class starting at ACC in February for six weeks. She is presently teaching computer technology in the paralegal program and will be teaching about intellectual properties in fall 2015. In summer, she has worked and volunteered at South Platte Park, where she introduced her “Thumb Print Plays” to kids and adults. One writes observations from a nature walk, for example, in a spiral from the outside in, forming a thumbprint-shaped poem/play. She started writing these for herself first and has published a little book of clever observations, called “Nature Nurture.” Kids enjoy writing these and acting them out. Another project in the works is a book about the South Platte River flood of 1965, which caused great damage — and was the starter for developing the wonderful South Platte Park. She will devote profits to the park, hopeful that children who might not otherwise have the chance can come to visit … For the year ahead, it will be Greenwood Village classes, ACC classes, completion of the book and time with her husband and a photogenic miniature long-haired dachshund.

Area coaches agree: Good hockey goalies can steal wins By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Hockey goalies, baseball pitchers and quarterbacks have a lot in common They are vital to the success of a team. “Goaltending is like pitching in high school, college and professional hockey,” said Cherry Creek hockey coach Jeff Mielnicki. “If a goaltender shuts the other team down your chance of success improves.” Heritage coach Jeremy Simms claims it is not unusual to have goalies steal games in Colorado prep hockey. “A good goalie can make an average team competitive and a competitive team great,” said Simms. “I have seen a number of games where the goalie is the only reason a team has won.” Mountain Vista coach Lev Cohen agreed. “Goalies are a major part of a team’s success,” he said. “Having a strong goalie gives the forwards confidence to play aggressive offensively and take chances. Goalies are similar to quarterbacks in football in that they can steal a game for you. “The great part of hockey, though, is having a strong defensive core and forwards that are committed to playing defense, which also helps with making goalies successful.” Andrew Nash, an Arapahoe High School senior, has been a four-year goalie for the Heritage co-op team and doesn’t mind being bombarded by shots during practice or having players celebrate when they score. “They have to celebrate like that because they don’t score very much,” Nash said. “Goalie is a fun position. I like getting hit with a lot of things. I’ve been a goalie for eight years. I tried it once and I loved it. I model myself after Patrick Roy.” Cohen has three goalies competing for the No.1 job for Mountain Vista. Tanner Munn, a Rock Canyon student, saw action in two games last season for the Golden Eagles. Mitch Volmert, who
Heritage goalie Andrew Nash will begin his fourth season with the Eagles’ co-op hockey team and models himself after Patrick Roy. Nash is a senior at Arapahoe High School. Photo by Jim Benton attends Chaparral, and Jackson Schoech, a Legend student, are new to the team. “Every time you get scored on, you try to clear your mind and worry about the next shot,” Munn said. “It’s not really who is the better goalie. It’s all a mental game, focus and preparation.” Volmert knows he is competing for one of the most important positions on the team. “The goalie is the most important part of the game in my opinion,” he said. “If you have a bad goalie and you have a good team, one bad shot can go in and ruin the team for the rest of the season. The goalie needs to be good. The defenseman around help and then will rely on the goalie.” Schoech feels a good netminder can be an equalizer.
“If the team is having a bad game and you are a good goalie, you can change the game,” he said. “If you face 50 shots in a 1-0 game, you can give your team confidence that we can win the game.” Brady Mielnicki is a senior and returning starter at Cherry Creek, which also has goalies Austen Strauss and Scout Stalcup on its roster “Great goaltending is a key asset to a successful team,” said Brady Mielnicki. “A goaltender’s performance defines the outcome of a game. The role I fill is as important as each and every one of my teammates. “A team builds off their goalie; a big save can lead to a teammate scoring a game-winning goal. It is easy to take great goaltending for granted, but it is hard to replace a great goalie.”
Cherry Creek senior Brady Mielnicki claims the performance of a goalie often determines the outcome of games. Courtesy photo

Trampoline park bounces into area Sky Zone Parker offers indoor jumping for joy
Services Basements
By Chris Michlewicz
A continental flair
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com An industry that’s growing by leaps has bounded into Parker. Sky Zone Parker, a massive indoor trampoline park for kids and adults, opened Dec. 13 in a long-vacant, 33,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Target on the northwest corner of South Parker Road and Lincoln Avenue. News of the business coming to town was made public when Sky Zone mounted its sign on the front of the building in September. It built anticipation, and hundreds of enthusiastic residents of all ages got a sneak peek Dec. 11 when Sky Zone hosted Community Appreciation Night. Owners Jeffrey and Jan McClure, of Fort Collins, beamed with pride that night as excited shouts echoed through the expansive, warehouse-like room that contains three ultimate dodgeball courts, three basketball hoops of different sizes for extreme dunking, a Foam Zone for acrobatic jumps into a cushy pit, and a main court for just-for-fun bouncing. The McClures have spent 15 years in the family entertainment business and, with an idea to expand their reach, quietly watched the indoor trampoline industry from afar over the last six years. They also sought out the perfect spot along the Front Range and stumbled upon Parker. “We were looking for a particular demographic, and so a strong, family-friendly town is something that really excited us,” Jan McClure said. Parker shot to the top of their list, and when they found the empty space next to Murdoch’s Ranch & Home Supply, they jumped at the chance. It was a good fit for their vision: high ceilings, poles, plenty of room. In Parker they also found more than 60 teens and twenty-somethings suited for the job of maintaining a fun, safe environment. Many serve as court monitors, making sure the rules are followed to minimize the possibility of injury. “Everyone wants to have fun, but it’s always been important that we provide a safe way to do those things and mitigate risks,” Jan McClure said. Fun is what Sky Zone Parker is all about, and the McClures appreciate being in family entertainment because it gives them the chance to offer people an enjoyable experience. The McClures have humble beginnings in the industry and a storyline fit for a feature film. They were looking for a real estate investment opportunity and bought land that happened to have a miniature golf course on it. “In order to get out of the Putt-Putt franchise, we had to agree to operate it for the summer,” Jan McClure said. They demolished what was there and recreated the business to their own specifications. Thus began their foray into running Fort Fun, a popular Fort Collins business that includes go-karts, laser tag, miniature golf and arcade games. An indoor trampoline complex seemed like a natural and logical extension to what they’d successfully built. Jumping on trampolines isn’t just for kids; at separate points, the McClures each utter the phrase, “if you can walk, you can jump.” Four party rooms are available to host gatherings for everything from birthday parties to corporate events. “It’s a lot of fun to watch people more my age,” Jeffrey McClure said. “They feel invincible — for at least a few minutes.” Sky Zone Parker is at 9851 S. Parker Road. For pricing and hours of operation, go to www.skyzone.com/parker.

Today, Littleton is faced with competing measures on the ballot for a citizen-initiated special election on March 3, arbitration with Arapahoe County, verbal warfare in public meetings and, likely, a bunch of everyday citizens who are pretty confused about the whole thing.
Continued from Page 7
“urban renewal,” which can involve words like “blight” and “condemnation,” conversations devolved into flaring tempers, name-calling and evident frustration. It became apparent after City Manager Michael Penny took the reins in October 2011 that he had big changes in mind for Littleton, a city that’s no stranger to resistance. One of the first things to be revitalized was the city’s urban renewal authority itself, which changed its name from the Riverfront Authority — its first, only and unsuccessful redevelopment project in the 1980s — to Littleton Invests for Tomorrow.

A banner year for Englewood Schools
History books should mark 2014 as a year of significant events for Englewood Schools, from construction of a new campus to Brian Ewert being selected as state Superintendent of the Year. The most visible change to the schools happened as all Englewood High School buildings except the auditorium and field house were de-
molished so a new seventh- through 12th-grade campus could be constructed and major renovations were done at the Englewood Middle School building. When school resumes Jan. 8, the high school classes will be in the newly completed wing, the middle school will be in the wing of the campus where high school classes were for the first half of the year, and Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School will move from northwestern Englewood to the middle school building. But the district’s focus has been improving on its mission of providing a quality education for all students, and 2014 saw positive changes in achievement. The faculty and administrators developed and instituted a streamlined instructional model for the district, and students were provided with personal technology in an effort to help students learn better. The results have been improvement and steady growth in student performance, contributing to the district accreditation improving two levels. The changes and improvements were noted when the state selected Brian Ewert as Colorado School Superintendent of the Year. He said he was honored and it was noted it was 1991 when Roscoe Davidson was the last Englewood superintendent to be named superintendent of the year.
Voters approve open carry
Castle Rock voters took to the polls to pass two highly publicized, and hotly debated, gun-related ballot measures in 2014.
The ballot in the Aug. 19 special election contained two yes-or-no questions. The first was regarding the authority of the town manager to regulate the open carry of firearms in town-owned facilities and parks. The second question was on a charter amendment that would require a town vote to change gun laws in the future. Following the election, the town faced two legal challenges regarding Castle Rock’s election procedure — one of which has been dismissed and one that is still pending — and a recount. After the recount, that margin had increased to 154 votes, with 4,749 votes for and 4,595 votes against. Ballot Measure B, which puts any future changes to gun laws in the hands of town residents, passed easily the first time around, with 71.2 percent voting yes. That total difference after the recount increased by just a single vote, with 6,615 votes for and 2,683 votes against. More than 9,400 of the 32,000 ballots mailed to voters were returned — the most ever in a Town of Castle Rock election.
Changes and court cases in DCSD
Tension continued between the Douglas County School District and parent-led community groups in 2014, following a trend of recent years since the election of reformminded school board members. Some of the key events: • In February, the district decided to appeal a Denver judge’s ruling
that it violated campaign law in the 2013 school board election. • A return by the high schools in Highlands Ranch to a more traditional class schedule, away from the block schedule implemented in 2012. • An arbitrator’s June report in favor of the teachers’ union in a complaint that the district violated its sick-leave bank agreement. DCSD said it was an “improperly obtained opinion,” and it would seek a fair process to resolve the issue. • The board’s July vote to opt out of the 2014-15 National School Lunch Program. • Disagreement over teacherturnover statistics. State figures showed DCSD 2013-14 turnover at 17.3 percent, while the district maintained turnover was at 13.1 percent. • An October lawsuit against DCSD by the American Humanist Association for alleged engagement in religious fundraising events. DCSD said it will “vigorously defend” its students’ rights. • The state’s November decision to elevate DCSD’s performance rating to its highest “accredited with distinction” tier. • And closing out the year, the Dec. 10 oral arguments surrounding the district’s voucher, or Choice Scholarship, program before the Colorado Supreme Court.

Southern eating comes to south metro area Eatery plans spring opening in former Pasquini’s location By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Justin Timberlake and the City of Lone Tree have until now had little in common, but early next year, a new restaurant the singer helped create will open in the former Pasquini’s building. Southern Hospitality anticipates welcoming its first customers in April or March. The only other Southern Hospitality is in Denver’s LoDo neighborhood. The building near the intersection of Quebec Street and Park Meadows Drive was home to Pasquini’s restaurant for four years. It has been vacant since November 2013, when a family feud prompted the pizzeria’s closure. The concept for Southern Hospitality was largely created by New York nightclub operator Eytan Sugarman and Memphis native Timberlake. Their goal was to provide Southern-inspired food and a wide array of microbrews and bourbons in a high-energy environment. Company representatives couldn’t say if Timberlake might make an appearance at the Lone Tree site’s debut. It’s “too early to know who will be at the grand opening yet,” said Shawn Owen, chief operating officer at Bour-
Southern Hospitality will open in early 2015 in the former Pasquini’s Pizzeria building off Quebec Street and Park Meadows Drive. Photo by Jane Reuter bon Brothers Holding Corp. The design of the former Pasquini’s building, which already matched Southern Hospitality’s ideal, and an absence
of barbecue restaurants in the area convinced the company to choose Lone Tree. “The location we’re going into is a sec-
ond-generation brick building, which is something we like to use,” Owen said. “We also think the offering we will bring is something nobody else around is providing, so we think we’ll provide a lot of value.” City officials agree. “We are very excited to see Southern Hospitality place its second Colorado location right here in Lone Tree,” said Jeff Holwell, the city’s economic development director. Workers already have completed much of the needed interior renovations to the structure, Owen said. In addition to the two Southern Hospitality restaurants, the company operates Bourbon Brothers in Colorado Springs. Southern Hospitality serves a mix of traditional Memphis-style barbecue with “a modern spin to it,” Owen said, while Bourbon Brothers features more traditional Southern food. Customers give Southern Hospitality warm reviews, with Yelp writers rating it an average of three-and-a-half out of five stars, and Open Table and Urban Spoon reviewers giving an average of four out of five stars. Owen believes the new location will be successful. He points to neighboring restaurants LoDo’s and It’s Brother’s. “Both are booming and ours, like theirs, is a downtown concept,” he said.
