Survey seeks input of city’s seniors Area hit

with flu outbreak

Centennial residents asked to participate in data gathering By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com The City of Centennial’s senior commissions coordinator believes seniors provide communities with a wealth of wisdom and experience. Now, it’s their turn to have their voices heard and help the city forecast and plan its needs. A Community Assessment Survey for Older Adults is being sent out this month to a random sampling of about 1,000 of Centennial’s seniors. The survey is “critical in giving us an overview (on) how to better prepare for our aging population,” said youth and seniors commissions coordinator Angela Engel. Engel is hoping for the majority of the surveys to be returned, she said, in order for the results to be valid. Anyone who receives the survey is encouraged to participate because the more surveys returned, the more accurate the conclusions, she added. “Involvement in this process will be instrumental in informing the City of Centennial,” Engel said. The survey is less than 100 questions, and it will cover a variety of topics including housing, transportation, healthcare, retirement, safety, legal and financial resources and volunteer, religious, recreational and social opportunities. There are four main Survey continues on Page 7

Colorado is among the more than 40 states that have been hit hard by the flu this fall and winter, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The south metro area has not been spared, with area hospitals seeing a rise in cases, said Dr. David Markenson, chief medical officer at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree. People also are “relatively sicker,” he said, as far as symptoms are concerned, which leads to more patients needing to be admitted. “To me, this year is the worst year in a decade,” said Dr. Paul Davidson, an emergency room physician for Castle Rock, Littleton, Parker and Porter Adventist hospitals. “There certainly has been a ton of hospitalizations.” The number of influenza diagnoses has more than doubled over last year at the group of area hospitals. Between Nov. 1 and Jan. 7, there have been 448 cases at Littleton, Parker and Castle Rock Adventist Hospitals combined, compared to these hospitals’ total last year of 208, said Rachel Robinson, director of communications, PR and marketing for Parker Adventist. The most recent data from the Colorado Department of Health and Environment shows that as of Jan. 3, 50 Colorado counties reported a total 1,903 hospitalizations. The Flu continues on Page 10

State senators outline their goals for session Linda Newell, District 26 Staff report State Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton — whose District 26 includes Centennial’s western end — took some time to answer the following questions from Colorado Community Media as the legislative session opened: Describe two bills you feel are of particular importance that you plan to sponsor this session and tell us why they are important. I am proud to continue to focus on child protection. My first bill is “Erin’s Law,” which makes training available to school staff, parents, and students to prevent sexual abuse and assault. It would also encourage school districts to develop, with parents, abuse and prevention plans that work for their communities. I have also introduced legislation that focuses on the safety and security of children in the foster care system. Through more rigorous and enforced background checks of adults in the home or facility, this bill would help ensure that all children placed in foster care and kinship care are not placed with anyone or in any home with known abusers. Another bill of mine moves the Child Protection Ombudsman office out from under the Colorado Department of Human Services; thus, allowing it to be more autonomous and accountable in reviewing child welfare complaints against state and county departments. What do you believe should be the top prior-

ity of your chamber of the Legislature this session? Colorado has been fortunate to have the right ingredients for an economic recovery that is being felt by many. Unfortunately, not every Coloradan is feeling that recovery, and the priority of the Legislature should be making that a reality. In recent years, we’ve worked to pass commonsense bipartisan legislation that works for our communities. This isn’t a time for politics, but is a time to keep up the progress we’ve made on issues that matter most to Coloradans: job creation, keeping our promise of Newell a secure retirement, and making sure every child has the opportunity to succeed. With control of the Legislature being split, how can the two major parties best work together to ensure important legislation gets passed this session? Over my tenure in the Senate, bipartisan collaboration has been my top priority; seeking input from all stakeholders on every bill and listening intently to every perspective with an open mind. I’ve had bipartisan support with over 98 percent of my bills every year. When my party was in power last year, the whole Senate was 97 percent! That’s the way I think we should always operate. What matters to constituents isn’t which political party scores a victory, but if government is helping communities. I’m looking forward to continue working with both Democrats and Republicans to do my part.

David Balmer, District 27 Staff report State Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial — whose District 27 includes most of Centennial — took some time to answer the following questions from Colorado Community Media as the legislative session opened: Describe two bills you feel are of particular importance that you plan to sponsor this session and tell us why they are important. We are sponsoring a bipartisan bill in 2015 to extend our Dog Protection Act, which I authored in 2013. Our Dog Protection Act passed the Legislature unanimously, and now we are working to improve it. After digging into the subject, I discovered over 40 cases where police officers shot non-threatening family dogs. In many of the cases the dog’s owner was attempting to secure the dog, and stray rounds could have killed human bystanders in neighborhood settings. With my background of Army deployments to Afghanistan and Bosnia, we experienced dogs in war zones, and our Army unit never shot any dogs. Endorsed by the Colorado Sheriffs Association, our bill provides police officers with detailed training on proven tactics to deal with dog encounters without resorting to deadly force. Our Dog Protection Act is the nation’s first such law, and other states are now exploring the passage of similar statutes.

What do you believe should be the top priority of your chamber of the Legislature this session? 1.) We must restore education funding that was cut during the recession by allowing local school districts the flexibility to direct more dollars directly to classrooms. 2.) In my oath of office, I swore an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and the Colorado Constitution, which includes Amendment 64 (voter-passed legalization of recreational marijuana). Accordingly, we legislators Balmer have a constitutional duty to continue to develop a robust regulatory system to ensure safe implementation of marijuana legalization. With control of the Legislature being split, how can the two major parties best work together to ensure important legislation gets passed this session? Unlike the gridlock in Washington, the Colorado Legislature already works in a bipartisan fashion to tackle the problems confronting Colorado. More than 80 percent of bills at the State Capitol pass with bipartisan support. We must reduce overly burdensome regulations that are stifling entrepreneurial creativity. Most importantly, we must work to reduce government’s footprint on our lives, so that Colorado families are free to live their lives and grow their small businesses with minimal interference from government.

Area leaders put face on pro-fracking effort Douglas County residents tout controversial practice By Jane Reuter

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Some south metro-area residents are lending their faces and voices to the fracking debate, appearing on pro-fracking fliers published by Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development. CRED, a nonprofit formed in August 2013 by publicly traded Texas-based companies Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and Noble Energy, describes the fliers as part of a broader education effort on the widely debated practice. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique that uses pressurized liquid to fracture rock and release natural gas and oil from deep in the earth. Among the Douglas County faces featured on the glossy mailers are Douglas County School Board member Meghann Silverthorn, Lone Tree City Councilmember Kim Monson and Colorado Business Roundtable president Jeff Wasden. “The mission and focus is to help folks get the facts on fracking — what it is, what it isn’t, and in this case, how it benefits them,” CRED spokesperson Jon Haubert said. “We find so many people have no idea that the vibrant oil-and-gasdriven economy here in Colorado does benefit them.” Silverthorn, Monson and Wasden all say they investigated the pros and cons of fracking independently before agreeing to appear on the fliers. None received compensation for their participation. “One thing we teach our kids to do is to look at all the information, use the scientific method and critical thinking to come to your own

Colorado Business Roundtable president Jeff Wasden and Douglas County school board member Meghann Silverthorn are among those lending support for fracking in a campaign by Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development. Staff photo conclusion,” Silverthorn said, adding she did just that with fracking issues. “After weighing all the pros and cons, in my opinion, taxpayers come out ahead. (Some) of the revenue overall statewide from fracking comes back to education, so it’s not an additional tax burden on the people of Douglas County.” Silverthorn’s flier cites a University of Colorado study that says the oil and gas industry “brought more than $204 million in benefits and savings into Colorado schools in just one year.” Haubert couldn’t confirm how much the Douglas County School District has received. “I have not seen a Douglas-specific figure, though I imagine it is not record-breaking,” he wrote in an emailed response. “Funds tend

to go where energy development occurs via property and severance tax (i.e. taxes paid on minerals extracted.)” At present, fracking is not underway in Douglas County. A map from a University of Colorado study on CRED’s website of the distribution of 2012 property tax revenue from oil and natural gas activity shows Douglas County School District received no funds. School districts in Arapahoe and Elbert counties received $490,000 and $180,000 respectively. Additional funding for education is provided indirectly to school districts from the oil and gas taxes that go into the state general fund, and are redistributed into state education funds. Still another source of school

funding is from federal mineral leases, according to the study. DCSD received about $9,600 in funds distributed from those federal mineral leases in 2014. Parent Heather Ertl questions Silverthorn’s involvement in CRED’s campaign. “I think a school board member shouldn’t be promoting fracking in the manner that she is,” said Ertl, a fracking opponent. “She’s an elected official who apparently holds the respect of some people in our community. “She’s making it sounds like our schools are really benefiting from fracking,” she said. “It’s a twist of the truth.” Silverthorn’s largest fall 2013 campaign donation came from oil and gas man Alex Cranberg. Cran-

berg, chairman of Aspect Holdings LLC, gave $25,000 each to the four ultimately successful, pro-education reform candidates. “Regardless of whether Mr. Cranberg had given (me) money or not, the oil and gas industry does benefit our schools here,” Silverthorn said. “I find it interesting that a lot of people seem to think that because he gave money to my campaign, I must owe him something. That’s not the way my principles work.” Silverthorn also said she is speaking for herself, not the rest of the school board or DCSD. Haubert said the benefits to Douglas County go well beyond education. In 2012, the industry was directly or indirectly responsible for 774 Douglas County jobs, and almost $80 million in total labor income. Wasden, who lives in Highlands Ranch and owns PROformance Apparel in Littleton, said the natural gas industry helps his business and others grow and create jobs. “I think people in the metro area don’t understand how important this industry is,” he said. “There are over 6,000 jobs in Arapahoe County that support or tie directly into oil or gas. It has a big, significant impact.” Heavy equipment at Wasden’s apparel shop consumes a lot of energy, he said. “Low-cost, sustainable, reliable energy is important to our store,” Wasden said. “And certainly as an American, I like American domestic energy produced here at home that supports American jobs and families.” Like Silverthorn, Monson speaks in support of fracking as an individual, not for the City of Lone Tree or other councilmembers. “It’s based on the idea that I think affordable and efficient, responsible energy is crucial for a robust and prosperous society where each individual can go after their hopes and dreams,” she said.

Property owners on hook for burying lines Redevelopment of parcels forces timing of change By Jennifer Smith

jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com Who should pay to bury the city’s power lines? It depends on where they are. On Jan. 6, Littleton City Council voted to enforce years-old agreements that place the burden of burying two blocks of utility lines on Dry Creek Road east of Broadway on the shoulders of the adjacent property owners. “We’re not rolling in money to be extra nice,” said Councilmember Peggy Cole. “I think we need to be fair and use our money carefully.”

The work became necessary as part of the Littleton Village project on the site of the old Marathon property, just west of the Centennial border. Dry Creek is being widened to two lanes each direction to accommodate what’s likely to be more traffic at the intersection, and the Littleton Village developer is kicking in for those improvements. But the wider road will run right where the existing overhead lines are, so now is the time to send them underground, said Charlie Blosten, the city’s director of public works. The owners of the three properties — the Sinclair gas station, Courtesy Acura and a small shopping center — all signed agreements dating back as far as 1986 that require them to pay for the work.

SEMINARS

Courtesy Acura was about to run into the situation even without the Littleton Village project, as Blosten said the dealership is working on expansion plans. The city requires any project that requires a site development plan to include undergrounding at the developer’s expense. “It would be silly and expensive to do the individual parcels one at a time,” he said. Blosten said council could opt to let the property owners pay part or none of the cost, and the city could use credits that Xcel Energy offers to support undergrounding its lines. The city currently has about $3 million in that fund, but it will cost about $440,000 just to bury the two blocks’ worth of lines. “There’s no cash at all involved here,” said Blosten. But City Manager Michael Penny cautioned that there are likely to be other uses for the credits, ones that don’t have existing agreements. Cole pointed out there have been discussions about burying the downtown lines, most of which are in the city-owned alleys. “The $3 million is not

Photo by Jennifer Smith that much,” said Penny. “When you drive around town, everything that is above ground, we want underground.” Xcel uses its own contractors to perform the work, and the city’s agreement with Comcast ensures that its telecommunication and cable lines will go underground with the power lines at no charge. CenturyLink, however, will charge the property owners to bury its lines. Mayor Pro Tem Bruce

Beckman noted that going forward, if urban renewal weathers the upcoming election and other legal challenges, this is the sort of project it could benefit. “It seems to be a message we can’t get out very easily, but this is a perfect example,” he said. Councilmember Bruce Stahlman offered an unsuccessful amendment that would have let the owners pay just 75 percent of the total. “The intent here is to

hold people accountable,” he said, “… but continue to put the welcome mat out at the city.” Ultimately, council voted unanimously to require the owners to pay the entire amount, divvied up proportionately among them, but over a time period negotiated with the city. The money will go into a fund dedicated to burying other utility lines. The widening of Dry Creek is expected to happen this year, said Blosten.

Hickenlooper seeks help for long-term unemployed Initiative aims to help those who have been without a job for at least 26 weeks

The federal funding will go for job or interview training, counseling and internships for the longterm unemployed. According to the state Department of Labor and Employment, nearly 50,000 people in Colorado have been unemployed for at least 26 weeks, which is defined as long-term unemployment. “It does change the way you go about your day. It changes how you relate with your family, your friends,” Hickenlooper. “It changes what you see in the mirror, some of the old confidence and things you took for granted isn’t the same.” Overall, the job outlook for the state has improved. Colorado’s unemployment rate is 4.1 percent. But state officials say there is a stigma associated with being out of work long term, presenting a challenge for job seekers. In some cases, the jobs that they once held

By Ivan Moreno Associated Press

Gov. John Hickenlooper’s administration wants to help people who have been unemployed at least 26 weeks find jobs with a $3 million initiative aimed at connecting them with interested employers. Hickenlooper on Jan. 8 announced the plan, which will utilize a new website to connect Colorado employers with workers. The $3 million comes from the federal government, with the state kicking in $100,000 for the website.

no longer exist or they have been unable to keep up with the skills they need in their field, said Ellen Golombek, the executive director of the state labor department. “Many of these long-term unemployed are highly qualified. Their skills just don’t match the jobs that are currently open,” Golombek said. Participating in the initiative is voluntary for employers. But state officials say they’ll have an incentive to hire workers who just need training to brush up on their skills. “We have a pool of employers who are constantly willing to step up, sometimes just because it’s the right thing to do,’’ said Fiona Arnold, the executive director of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. “In this case, it’s because it’s not only the right thing to do, but they’re hurting for employees, too.”

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper speaks to members of the media during a Jan. 8 news conference describing a workforce initiative that his administration says will increase hiring in Colorado. The $3 million program is intended to work with the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, and the Colorado Dept. of Labor and Employment to assist the state’s long-term unemployed in getting back to work.

Legislature opens with focus on pocketbooks C Talk is bipartisan, but reality may differ

Associated Press The Colorado General Assembly opened for business under newly divided management Jan. 7, setting up conflicts on economic issues that both parties have identified as key priorities this session. Democrats retained control in the House and the governor’s office, but Republicans took command of the state Senate for the first time in a decade, gaining a one-vote majority. In their opening remarks, newly selected leaders in the House and Senate promised to work together while outlining slightly different paths toward similar goals. Minority chamber leaders, however, took stances that are sure to place the Republicans and Democrats at odds. The newly selected Senate president, Bill Cadman, made it clear that the GOP would push for tax cuts and workforce development programs. The Colorado Springs Republican also said his party would block any attempts to keep refunds due taxpayers from a projected budget surplus. House Speaker Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, the first Democratic woman in state history to hold the position, made a call for job training initiatives aimed toward the middle class. “Because when the middle class grows and thrives,’’ the Boulder County Democrat said, “all of Colorado benefits.’’ Hullinghorst also said legislators should be “standing up for small businesses.’’ The minority leaders then drew battle lines. House Republican Leader Brian DelGrosso warned Democrats to expect a fight over any attempts to increase oversight of the oil and gas industry, and he reinforced Cadman’s position that tax refunds due under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights weren’t negotiable.

s Chamber hosts immigration forum National expert to take questions By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Immigration is on the minds of many in light of the start of the new legislative season, and the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce wants to get everyone up to speed. The chamber is hosting a forum at 10 a.m. on Jan. 26 featuring Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, and Michelle Warren, director of the Colorado branch of Bibles Badges and Business.

“The chamber believes it is important to host this discussion with Ali Noorani because comprehensive immigration reform is of vital importance to the business community,” said Natalie Harden, the chamber’s director of public policy and economic development. “Immigration reform affects all sectors of the business community, from workers to entrepreneurs looking to invest in Colorado. The uncertainty created by the Noorani lack of a comprehensive strategy is damaging to Colorado’s overall economic growth.” Noorani has more than a decade of leadership in public policy advocacy,

This year, the city is placing an emphasis on housing, Engel said. s for “What can we do as a municipality to help older adults stay in their homes as long as they can?” She added that it’s a growing trend with seniors to want to stay in their homes.

nonprofit management and coalition organizing across a wide range of issues. As a key figure among a new generation of national leaders, he continues advocates for the value of immigrants and immigration to the nation. He has appeared on several national and local news programs to keep people updated on the topic. “People move to make life better for themselves and their families,” he wrote in a 2012 opinion piece on CNN.com. “People come to America not only for the promise of freedom but also to put food on the table and to send their kids to a decent school. And to rebuild our economy, we need new Americans as customers, innovators, taxpayers and workers.” Bibles Badges and Business is a network of conservative faith, law enforce-

said, this trend, and others, can be analyzed and compared with data from past surveys. This year, Centennial is doing two data-gathering processes. Along with the CASOA, which is a joint contract with the Denver Regional Council of Governments and the National Research Center Inc., the city is also utilizing DRCOG’s Boomer Bond initiative. The Boomer Bond initiative is an internal assessment tool that allows the city to reflect upon itself, Engel said. It “aims to arm the region’s local governments with strategies and tools to support healthy, independent aging, allowing older adults to remain in their homes and communities as long as they wish,” states drcog.org. “We’re hoping to get a fuller picture based on these two assessment tools,” she said. The city is expecting a full report on the CASOA results and the Boomer Bond initiative near June, Engel said.

ment and business leadership working to establish a new consensus on immigrants and America. “These unlikely allies have seen the changing face of America in their congregations, businesses and communities,” reads its website. “Their response has been to advocate for policy solutions that will help new Americans attain the opportunities, skills and status to reach their fullest potential.” The event is at SMDCC in the Streets of Southglen, 2154 E. Commons Ave., Suite 342, in Centennial. The Douglas County Business Alliance, Denver South Economic Development Partnership and Colorado Business Roundtable are also participating.

Centennial has a higher proportion of aging individuals than most of the metro area, Engel said. The median age of the city’s residents is 40.7, she said, in comparison to Arapahoe County’s median age of 35.7, and the City and County of Denver at 33.5. At present, about 12,000 people 65 or older reside in Centennial, Engel said. By 2030, conservative projections estimate that number to be 20,000. “This increase has ramifications for the level of senior service that must be reached in the next 15 years,” Engel said. The two assessments are an initiative of the Centennial Senior Commission, which provides an “open forum for seniors to discuss issues affecting them” and encourages “senior citizen involvement in community issues.” “Having grandmas and grandpas in our community is a real asset,” Engel said. “The longer residents are here is an indication of the strength of the community.”

If your glass isn’t half full, then fill it Ever since I began writing this column more than five years ago, I have ended each one with an encouragement to have a better than good week. And over these past five years I have been asked many times about why and how I chose that particular saying to sign off each week. Well my former boss, friend, and mentor Zig Ziglar used the same statement many times when someone would ask him how he was doing, and it just became something that has stuck with me and that I wanted to share with the world. Zig had a few responses to the question of how he was doing and of course all were extremely positive. An enthusiastic, “How are you doing Zig?” just might be met with an equally as enthusiastic, “Fantastic!” Other responses might sound like, “Outstanding but I hope to be better soon,” or “Wonderfully well and thank you for asking.” And my favorite one was always his cheery and sincere, “Better than good.” Now if Zig was to ask someone else how they were doing and the person responded with, “I am doing good,” Zig would immediately ask this next question in a leading and very encouraging tone, “Are you doing good or are you doing better than good?” And most people would grin or smile and say, “You’re right Zig, I am doing better than good.” He

also published a book titled “Better Than Good,” which I highly recommend. Zig has had a huge impact on my life for sure. I don’t think a day goes by where I do not quote him in some way or share one of his insights or inspiring tips. And as I think about all of us here in the beginning of 2015, what better insight or inspiring tip can I share than the encouragement of having a better than good day, week, month, or year? You know the winter saying, “Start warm, stay warm?” Well the same holds true for our outlook and perception in life, “Start positive, stay positive.” I mean if we go out looking for the bad things in life, we will find plenty of them. If we focus on the negative, then that is what we will see and feel. And if our goal is to stir the pot and create drama and trouble, there is no doubt that we can meet and maybe even exceed that goal. But to what end? Negativity and

negative thinking suck the energy right out of us, don’t they? Usually when we encounter someone who is focused on the gloom and doom of life, they appear listless and downtrodden. And it is the complete opposite when we run into someone who is doing better than good, isn’t it? They are almost bouncing as they walk, they have more pep in each step, and their passion and energy are shining brightly. We want some of whatever it is that they’ve got, don’t we? Well, what they have is a better than good attitude. They look for the good in life and not the bad. They live with an attitude of gratitude and appreciation. Their glass is way more than half full and they look forward to every encounter and to every opportunity. And if they don’t find an opportunity, they create their own. How about you, how are you doing? “Fantastic?” “Outstanding but hope to be better soon?” “Wonderfully well?” or “Better than good?” I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we start positive and stay positive it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

New year has wild cards in play This year, the investment landscape presents a whole new ball game. Investors will want to be aware of where the opportunities lie on this new playing field we are heading into in 2015. Last year had its ups and downs and ended great for U.S. large company growth stocks. Most everything else was so-so, with foreign holdings showing losses. And 2013 was very different as well. That year, value — or dividend-paying — stocks outperformed growth and fixed income was negative. All of that was reversed for last year, which makes the investor wonder what is in store for the new year. Anyone who is diversified may be scratching their head and wondering why they didn’t sell everything and buy growth. However that is a very shortterm fix to a very long-term issue. Just the differences in the last 12 months should prove to any investor that you cannot predict the best asset class to be in and variety always wins over single concentration on the multi-year charts. Smart investors know that return on

capital usually follows economic growth. However, 2013 was a perfect example of artificially high returns with a weak or non-existent Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Now we are seeing strong economic growth numbers and lower unemployment and the stock market is schizophrenic. Last year the strong economic themes were in manufacturing, consumer confidence and U.S. labor markets. Yet we had a 9.8 percent downturn in October, not quite hitting the 10 percent bogey for an actual correction. We did see a greater than 10 percent correction

in small cap stocks however. We also witnessed the end of Quantitative Easing (times three) by Halloween with few ramifications. We still have low interest rates which should continue to fuel growth along with low oil prices and falling unemployment. So what is the problem? Well, the picture is not always clear. For example, consumers love lower gasoline prices, but oil falling to $47 per barrel sent the stock market downhill. Interest rates have been low for so long we might forget what actually happens to our fixed income assets when rates creep up — they go down. This is not good for our retirees living on a fixed income. Falling unemployment could eventually lead to wage inflation which is good for the wage-earner but is a sure recipe for higher prices down the road. All of this is being digested in the markets in anticipation for the 2015 outlook. The most significant headwind is the stagnation in Europe. This comes along Kummer continues on Page 9

Getting a hospital built for veterans On the southeast corner of the Anschutz Medical Research Center in Aurora is a half-finished veterans’ hospital that, when completed, will be a state-ofthe-art medical center designed to meet the needs of the men and women who have served our nation in uniform. Unfortunately, the construction of the Aurora VA hospital is hundreds of millions over budget and is already years behind schedule due to the extraordinary incompetence of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The general contractor, Kiewit-Turner Construction (KT), sued the VA for its mismanagement of the design process, which led to a $1 billion design on a $600 million budget. In early December, the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals agreed with KT and ruled that it had the right to stop work on the project and for a brief period of time all construction activity stopped, leaving 1,400 workers without jobs right before Christmas. Fortunately, the VA and KT were able to reach an interim agreement that put those workers back on the job and the hospital back on track … for now. Under the interim agreement, the VA paid KT $157 million for work already completed; brought in the Army Corps

of Engineers to take over management of the project; and provided approximately $70 million to keep the project going while a new contract with the Army Corps of Engineers can be negotiated. The Army Corps of Engineers has built similar construction projects for the Department of Defense, consistently on time and within budget, while every major construction project managed by the VA has been hundreds of millions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule. My goal is to completely strip the VA of its authority to manage its own construction projects and permanently transfer that authority to the Army Corps of Engineers. The next major complication is that after paying KT the money it is already

owed and funding the interim contract, we still have to figure out how to come up with enough money to complete the hospital. The hospital’s total cost, under current law, is capped at no more than $880 million, while the final price tag will probably exceed a billion dollars. To start addressing this problem, as soon as the 114th Congress convenes, I plan to submit legislation that will raise the spending cap for the hospital to $1 billion and put into law the permanent transfer of authority to manage the VA’s construction projects to the Army Corps of Engineers. Given the VA’s past mismanagement, it cannot be trusted to manage its own construction projects. The challenge then is where to find the money to cover the shortfall. One possibility is for the VA to search through its own budget for unexpended appropriations in what is known as “reprogramming” within its Major Construction Account. This would cause a slowdown on the start dates for other VA major construction projects that haven’t broken ground yet. The other possibility, unfortunately, is getting more money approved by Congress, and that may not be possible until much later this year. The issue will

be in getting the additional funding approved before the money runs out and the construction is forced to shut down until the money can be found to resume construction. My case to Congress is that we can’t erase the costly mistakes that the VA has already made, but the leadership of the Army Corps of Engineers will do everything that is reasonably possible to bring down the cost and speed up the construction of the hospital. The VA’s incompetence has done serious damage to this hospital project. It has harmed our veterans, who have been waiting over a decade for this state-ofthe-art facility, and it has harmed the taxpayers of this nation who must now come up with the hundreds of millions of dollars to cover the cost overruns and to fix the VA’s costly mistakes. We cannot abandon this hospital. We owe it to our veterans, the taxpayers, and to the 1,400 construction workers to keep this project going and to ultimately get it done. U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman is chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee for House Veterans Affairs and is a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran.

New Congress is chance for change Washington is traditionally mired in gridlock and political games. And it’s no secret that despite some victories for Colorado, the last Congress was the least productive in modern history. Now, as the new year ushers in a new Congress, there is renewed potential for compromise and collaboration. If Washington can move past the partisanship, there is plenty we can accomplish. Our office is working with Republicans and Democrats on a host of issues important to Coloradans that will make government more efficient, effective and accountable. With tightening budgets and unreliable federal support, local governments across the state are looking for innovative ways to finance infrastructure projects. These projects are critical to our local communities and our economy. The American Society of Civil Engineers scored Colorado’s infrastructure at a Cplus and rated the nation a D-plus. We’ve teamed up with Sen. Roy Blunt, a Republican from Missouri, to help. Our bill, the Partnership to Build America Act, without spending federal dollars, would create an infrastructure bank to help communities maintain or build new roads, highways, bridges, schools, water conduits, tunnels and other projects. It’d be funded through bonds U.S. companies would purchase in exchange for allowing them to exclude a certain portion of their overseas earnings from taxation. This bill could help put people back to work on projects important to Coloradans like the expansion of public transit in the Denver metro area or building the Arkansas Valley Conduit. We are working with Tennessee Re-

with political agendas in several countries that are not citizen-friendly. Greece is leading the pack with unrest in Parliament and continued liquidity problems. The fear is that the recession contagion could spread to other countries. Japan declared they are in recession recently and China continues to juggle social issues and slowing a massive economy without a catastrophe. The economic cycle proves that bad news can lead to possibilities. If the European Central Bank (ECB) steps up and creates the cash flow the Eurozone needs to grow out of the doldrums, they could see a stock market climb similar to our last five years.

publican Sen. Lamar Alexander on a bill to simplify the process for applying for college financial aid. Countless college students and their families have suffered through the 10-page, 108-question FAFSA form. We’re proposing a plan to reduce the current form to two questions. This dramatically streamlined form would encourage more students to apply for aid and allow more students to access higher education. We’ve met with and heard from students, parents, high school and college administrators and financial-aid advisers across the state to discuss the challenges of the current form. From Pueblo Community College to Front Range Community College to Metropolitan State University, there is a resounding and overwhelming desire for a more efficient process. At a time when other countries are making it easier to attend college, our priority should be ensuring that higher education is as accessible as possible to as many students as possible. The Pay-For-Performance Act will help states and communities achieve better results with less cost to taxpayers. Under the model we’ve proposed, a local government enters into a contract with a provider that commits to delivering

partners will be happy. If the United States can manage decent economic growth without instant inflation, we can once again experience the Goldilocks economy for a while. There are many moving parts but many possibilities. It is time to get your financial house in order and plan for the years ahead. You won’t want to miss out on this one.

a set of services that are more effective and cost less than the results the government is currently receiving. An investor funds the project and is reimbursed with interest when the project meets its goals. If the providers don’t deliver the results they promised, the taxpayers are off the hook and the investors are not reimbursed. In the coming year we will continue to work on these bills as well as many others to cut government bureaucracy and red tape so it works better for the people it serves. We’ll also keep up our fight on a number of ongoing issues important

to Coloradans, including an extension to the Wind Energy Production Tax Credit, long-term funding for the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) Program, fixing our broken immigration system, completing the VA hospital in Aurora, and making reforms to the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure our veterans are receiving the services they have earned. If we can work together and embrace the opportunity for progress in this new Congress we can enact meaningful change for Coloradans. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

Flu Continued from Page 1

worst week, the department of health reports, was the one ending Dec. 27, when 531 hospitalizations were reported. That was the highest number during a single week in the decade that the department has been tracking the statistic. “It boils down to the immune system,” said Dr. Jay Lee, medical office chief of primary care at Highlands Ranch Kaiser Permanente Colorado. Young children and seniors and anyone with a medical condition that makes them immune-compromised are the most susceptible to influenza, Lee said. But the virus can spread easily, so anyone can contract it. In the winter, Lee said, there are fewer outdoor activities, so people tend to stay indoors. Plus, people are more likely to travel during the holidays, which places them in confined spaces such as planes and trains. The most important thing is to try to contain the epidemic, Davidson said, so people should get tested if they believe they may have the flu. A test will determine if a person is suffering from influenza, or if they have a different sickness such as pneumonia or a cold, Davidson said. He said people need to call ahead to make sure the facility offers the Rapid Influ-

enza Diagnostic Test. Results from the rapid test can be determined in 15 minutes or less, he said. If a person is diagnosed with the flu, some facilities provide treatment for the entire household to further prevent the spread, Davidson said. The CDC reports that Influenza A viruses, or H3N2, are most the common so far. “H3N2predominant seasons have been associated with more severe illness and mortality,” the CDC website states, “relative to seasons during which H1N1 or B viruses predominated.” There have been few cases of Influenza B and H1N1, a flu virus that caused a worldwide pandemic in 2009, this season, Davidson said. The H3N2 strain “has been seen before,” Markenson said, “but the genetic structure has changed slightly, so we have less protection from it.” The CDC uses research to try to determine which of the flu viruses will be the most common during an upcoming flu season, states the CDC website, in order to design a flu vaccine to provide the best protection. However, it’s “a lot like predicting the weather,” Lee said. On a good year, the vaccine is 75 percent effective, but on average, it is 60 percent effective, Davidson said. Because this flu season’s strain mutated, he said, the vaccine is only 40 percent effective. However, Markenson, Davidson and Lee all agree that the best method of prevention is

IS IT AN EPIDEMIC? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention answers that question this way on its website: The United States experiences epidemics of seasonal flu each year, and right now all of CDC’s influenza surveillance systems are showing elevated activity. Influenzalike-illness (ILI) has been over baseline for the past several weeks, virological surveillance shows a lot of flu is

circulating, and the hospitalization surveillance system shows increasing hospitalizations rates, especially in people 65 years and older. Also, the surveillance system that tracks mortality shows that the country is in the midst of this season’s flu epidemic.

‘A common misconception is that the vaccine is unnecessary’ Dr. David Markenson, Chief medical officer at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree to get the flu shot. “A common misconception is that the vaccine is unnecessary,” Markenson said. But people still receive benefits from getting it, Lee said. It “plays a role in helping immunity.” Markenson said there are two “very good reasons” to get vaccinated: The flu shot can reduce the severity and duration of symptoms,

and it can prevent death if a person does contract influenza. Generally, flu activity peaks between December and February, states the CDC’s website.

To feds, pot business smells suspicious The handling of money is a conundrum for shops By Katie Kuntz

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News The federal government is stockpiling hundreds of “suspicious activity reports” that could provide federal agents with sufficient evidence to shut down any state-legalized marijuana business. While it may appear that federal authorities have taken a wait-and-see approach to marijuana legalization in the 23 states that now allow either medical or recreational use, these reports are poised like a blade over the budding industry should federal laws be enforced. This risk of federal prosecution has led some cannabis companies to literally launder their money. “You used to be able to just smell it,” said Jennifer Waller, vice president of the Colorado Bankers Association, speaking of the cash from marijuana shops. “But now they are using Febreze a lot, putting the money in dryers, a lot of different things to try to disguise the scent because marijuana has

Cash is collected at a Strainwise marijuana store in Denver on Nov. 17, 2014. Legal marijuana businesses are a cashheavy operation and many stores rely on armored car services like Blue Line for cash transportation and protection. Photo by Rocky Mountain PBS I-News such a distinct odor.” And that distinct odor is considered a red flag by federal authorities who require that banks file a suspicious activity report

for every transaction that might be associated with illegal activity, including selling marijuana, even for state licensed businesses.

“It’s because of the illegal nature of it,” Waller said. “In banking, if you are accepting the funds from a marijuana company and you are aware of it … you can be charged with money laundering yourself.” Banks fear the repercussions of holding deposits related to marijuana, still a Schedule I illegal drug under federal law. That could mean prison time for individual tellers, fines for the bank, and the bank could even lose its federal deposit insurance, meaning it could be also be closed. If a marijuana store is charged with money laundering, it could lose everything. “Even before a conviction, the feds could freeze your assets,” said Chris Myklebust, commissioner of the Colorado Division of Financial Services. “And if there is a money laundering conviction, the feds can seize the assets, too.” The federal government has already collected more than 1,100 reports that implicate different cannabis companies in financial crimes nationwide. “Just in a moment’s notice, the U.S. Justice Department could literally take down

every single dispensary in Colorado, probably within about a day.” said Rob Corry, a Denver attorney and marijuana advocate. Corry has worked on several cases where federal agents have seized assets — cars, cash, bank accounts — though many of the records are sealed and it’s hard to gauge just how often this occurs. More often, banks simply shut down marijuana-related accounts. Between February and August 2014, banks filed more than 475 “Marijuana Termination” suspicious activity reports — indicating they closed hundreds of accounts because of possible criminal activity. “I’ve lost my personal bank account, my brothers have lost their personal bank accounts,” said Sally Vander Veer, operator of Medicine Man dispensary in Denver. The dispensary also lost its account in August. She says that without a bank account, all Medicine Man employees are paid in cash. “I can’t protect them. They walk out of here with a pocket full of cash and, in essence, they become another target and a potential victim of not having banking in the marijuana industry,” Vander Veer said. The dilemma has resulted in private businesses like Blue Line Protection Group that employ former military or law enforcement officers equipped with handguns, bulletproof vests, tactical training and armored trucks to transport cash and product to undisclosed locations for safekeeping. “When we started, the clients we were picking up had a manager taking (cash) in a Honda Civic or some kind of Subaru, unarmed, no vests, no tactics, no skills,” said Dominic Powelson, who works for Blue Line Protection Group. “People are gladly saying, `Yeah, just go, we will pay you some money to do it for us.’ ” State regulators in Colorado and Washington have also

tried to ease access to banking. Mycklebust, the Colorado financial services commissioner, issued a charter to the first ever marijuana-focused credit union in November. The new credit union will not immediately have federal credit insurance, although it has applied. Mycklebust said the new credit union must also file suspicious activity reports. The so called “SARs” stem from the guidelines set forth by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, a branch of the U.S. Treasury Department. The guidelines were meant to ease access to banks. “Banks are required by law to report when they think that a business is making money from something illegal, and marijuana is still federally illegal,” said Steve Hudak, spokesman for FinCEN. “We attempted to provide guidance that would help to get cash off the streets and some of the public danger that is associated with that, so we went about as far as we could.” But the guidelines didn’t actually legalize banking for marijuana businesses — only Congress can do that. And so far, Congressional leaders have been opposed. “(FinCEN’s) guidance is dangerously misleading,” wrote U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., in a letter of reprimand to the agency. “Indeed, following the guidance may expose financial institutions to civil or criminal liability.” Still, some U.S. representatives from Colorado and other states have introduced legislation to federally legalize state-approved marijuana, or at least legalize the industry’s access to banking. But those bills have not advanced. As is, state-approved marijuana businesses operate solely as a matter of federal discretion. And that could change at any time.

A glimpse of students’ talent Littleton schoolchildren let creativity shine in ACC gallery show By Jennifer Smith

jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com

The Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College will host the Littleton rado Public Schools District Art Show from Jan. 21 o the through Feb. 10. “We have about 160 pieces of artwork in the mber. deral show of all types, 2D and 3D, painting to drawing, jewelry, ceramics and sculpture,” said Anna sus- Spillen, art teacher at Options High School. Spillen points to research compiled by the forth Online College website to support the idea that CEN, art has a positive effect on learning. But a 2009 lines survey, part of the “Nation’s Report Card: Arts 2008,” that found only 47 percent of students had access to visual arts education, and just 57 hink percent to music education. egal, “Middle-school students across the nation udak, haven’t seen an increase in access to music and guid- visual arts education, and their understanding me of of its tenets remains low — especially in cerwent tain disenfranchised socioeconomic and racial groups,” reads the website. “Many believe the g for numbers are even worse today, as the survey nd so was conducted prior to the economic woes that have paralyzed many schools systems in recent wrote years.” tein, But in LPS, all students from kindergart, fol- ners on up to seniors have the opportunity to ns to participate in the annual art show. Every visual arts teacher in LPS chooses up to five pieces of oth- artwork created by their students to put in the alize show, which is judged by the ACC gallery staff. stry’s Winners will be announced about a week after the show begins. Admission is free and open to the public erate ould Monday through Friday, noon to 5 p.m. On Tuesdays, it will stay open until 7 p.m. A closing reception will be held on Feb. 10, 5 to 7 p.m. rt in The Colorado Gallery of the Arts is on the earn first floor of the ACC Annex building at 5900 S. ka- Santa Fe Drive in Littleton. For more information, contact Spillen at aspillen@lps.k12.co.us.

Elitch Lanes, the 63-year-old bowling alley at 3825 Tennyson St., will host its last bowlers on May 17 when the lease on the historic building runs out. Business owner Cal Eichinger, who’s owned the kitschy place for 13 years and has been in the bowling biz for 40 years, said he wasn’t surprised when landowner Littleton Capital Partners declined to renew the lease. With Denver’s land values hitting record highs, Eichinger figured that the landlord can sell the site for beaucoup bucks or lease it to a tenant with deeper pockets. An email and phone call to Littleton Capital Partners were not returned. The building housing the bowling alley was built around 1900 as a trolley turnaround structure that was later converted to a coal barn, Eichinger said. It was part of the original Elitch Gardens amusement park and performing arts center location on West 38th. The Gardens moved, but the Lanes didn’t. Eichinger said he’s been notifying the regulars little by little. “Some of the seniors are so bummed out,” he said. But there’s a chance that Elitch Lanes will roll on in a new venue. Eichinger, who owns the name Elitch Lanes, said he’s meeting with another landowner today to discuss taking over an existing bowling alley 4.4 miles (he wouldn’t say which direction) from the existing business, which likely will take him to the ‘burbs. “This center is so unique, I’ve never been anywhere like it,” said Eichinger who’s worked in and visited roughly 100 bowling alleys. “Our customer base is so cool — it’s a true crosssection of ages and ethnicities.” To thank that customer base, Eichinger said he and his crew will throw a big exit bash around the May 17 closing date.

Missing these eateries

While I much prefer to write about restaurant openings in our fair city, inevitably there are those that close. Some are big losses to our Mile High palate, others were more obviously headed for an epic fail. Thrillist.com, the irreverent food and drink website, has compiled a list of the “12 shuttered Denver bars and restaurants that we’ll miss.” They are: Bonanno Bros. Pizzeria in the Vistas at Park Meadows, Catacombs Bar in Boulder, Corner House Neighborhood Eatery in Jefferson Park, Chef Liu’s Authentic Chinese Cuisine in Aurora, Le Grande Bistro & Oyster Bar downtown, Ondo’s Spanish Tapas Bar in Cherry Creek, Oshima Ramen in southeast Denver, Row 14 Bistro & Wine Bar downtown, Restaurant Kevin Taylor downtown, twelve restaurant in Ballpark, TAG Raw Bar Larimer Square, T-Wa Inn southwest Denver. Read more about each closure at www. thrillist.com/eat/denver/denver-bars-andrestaurants-that-closed.

Chihuly adds to Gardens draw

Colorado, a new glass sculpture by artist Dale Chihuly, is now on view in Denver Botanic Gardens’ Ellipse garden at 1007 York St. The work has been added to the Gardens’ permanent collection through the generosity of private donors including Robert and Judi Newman, John and Ginny Freyer and the RC Kemper Charitable Trust. It is made up of 1,017 hand-blown glass elements and stands more than 14 feet tall. Viewing of Colorado is included in Gardens’ admission. Chihuly used a red, orange and yellow color palette as it reminded him of the skies and sunsets he enjoyed during Denver visits. Chihuly’s collection set record attendance

On a fine summer’s day in June 1914, Inspector Ian Rutledge is focused on proposing to his dear Jean and their subsequent wedding plans. News comes to him from his office at Scotland Yard of a murder to the north, which will soon be followed by a series of other deaths, sending him on a journey that takes him to numerous small British towns, and contacts with numerous quirky characters. Is there a pattern, a common thread? Author Charles Todd — actually a mother-son writing team, Caroline and Charles Todd, who both live on the East Coast of the United States — bring a storytelling heritage to “A Fine Summer’s Day,” their 16th book about Scotland Yard’s skilled Inspector Ian Rutledge. (They have also produced several other books.) Readers seeking a new mystery series may enjoy looking at the inspector’s imaginative crime-solving skills. And the settings in small English towns and villages — certainly another world and time — are described in some detail. Both writers have a developed sense of history through family connections and study that allows them to present a clear picture of England just as World War I was beginning. The mood on the street in London and in small towns was tense as young men lined up to volunteer for service — not seeming to understand what awaited them beyond the flags and band music … An online biography of the pair of authors observes that Charles has a background as a business consultant, which gave him an understanding “of going to troubled places where no one was glad to see him arrive. This was excellent training for Rutledge’s reception as he tries to find a killer despite local resistance.” Caroline, with a master’s degree in international relations and a passion for history and travel, brings interest in world events to the mix. England in 1914 had only sparsely scattered telephones, which brought me up short as I followed Rutledge in his automobile travel between points of interest, homes of those recently dispatched by a killer, police stations, small-town businesses and hotels — and back to Scotland Yard. The contrast with today’s rapid-fire communication was a dramatic reminder of how the world has changed, and the much slower pace that prevailed everywhere a century ago. The complex procession of clues Rutledge patches together once he develops a “what-if” scenario are fun to follow as he drives about, encountering resistance in some quarters and welcome in others. Characters are well-pictured, as are homes and the countryside between towns. This is a good read for a snowy weekend, spent in a cozy chair, with a hot cup of tea on hand. It’s not the sort of pageturner that keeps one up until 3 a.m., but an entertaining visit to an earlier world — with some challenges. Charles Todd was scheduled to visit the Tattered Cover Book Store on East Colfax on Jan. 14, so autographed copies should be available for collectors.

Yarrow to play at Oriental

Swallow Hill Music presents a concert by legendary Peter, Paul & Mary member Peter Yarrow at 8 p.m. April 17 at The Oriental Theater, 4335 W. 44th Ave. Tickets are on sale now at swallowhillmusic.org/denver-concerts/ page-all or by calling 303777-1003, ext. 2. Yarrow’s talents as a creative artist, with Peter, Paul & Mary and as a solo performer, are frequently directed at using music to convey a message of humanity and caring. His gift for songwriting has been evident in some of the most moving songs from Peter, Paul & Mary, including “Puff, the Magic Dragon,”

January 16, 2015 “Day is Done,” “Light One Candle” and “The Great Mandala.” Over the years, many issues have moved Yarrow to commit his time and talent, including equal rights, peace, the environment, gender equality, homelessness, hospice care and education. “We’re part of a long train ride,” is the way Yarrow visualizes the many events that have highlighted a career spanning more than five decades. “When I was in high school, I heard The Weavers’ concert at Carnegie Hall where they sang songs such as ‘If I Had a Hammer,’ and ‘Wasn’t That a Time.’ It was inspiring, and it showed me the extraordinary effect that music of conscience can have.”

Eagles second at swim meet Heritage a point from team title, Cherry Creek finishes fourth By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Heritage coach Joe Swanson looks on during one of the matches at the Jan. 7 dual wrestling match against Mountain Vista. The team score was tied 36-36, but Mountain Vista got the win because of the most pins.

For Heritage’s Taylor Meersman, swimming runs in the family. Her brother also swam for Heritage, while her mother swam for Littleton. That family tradition helped her win the 50-yard freestyle and almost lifted Eagles to the team title in the Jan. 10 Intrastate 11 swimming meet. “Winning the 50-yard freestyle was shocking,” she said. “I was prepared mentally, but I couldn’t see how the other swimmers were doing so I just pushed myself to swim the best time of my career. It was a good idea, because I got to stand on the podium and accept the first-place ribbon.” The Eagles and Kent Denver were neck and neck in the team standings most of the day. The Eagles’ bid for first place was aided by Meersman’s first-place finish in the 50-yard freestyle and Annie DeGrood’s first-place finish in the 100-yard freestyle. The two girls joined forces with Molly Haag and Kathryn Olson on the Eagles team that won the 200-yard freestyle relay. Kent Denver won a number of events and won the team title with 192 points, edging Heritage by a single point. Cherry Creek finished fourth with 158 points. Cherry Creek amassed its points by consistently placing swimmers in the upper half of the standings in most events. The best performances for the Bruins were four third-place finishes: Quinn Baur in the 200 individual medley, Gabirella Arias in the 200 freestyle, Georgia Roberts in the 100 breaststroke and Katherine Goodale in the 100 freestyle. Heritage and Cherry Creek were two of the 11 teams that competed at the Intrastate meet, but the Eagles and Bruins athletes aren’t the athletes whose names appear in the results of larger meets. Heritage and Cherry Creek both have large swimming teams. Heritage has about 55 to 60 girls out for swimming. The Eagles varsity team was talented while Cherry Creek fields a varsity and two junior varsity teams with about 30 athletes on each of the teams. But, because of the nature of the Intrastate 11, the Eagles and the Bruins each brought only a few competitors to the meet. “We brought six girls from the junior varsity squad to represent the Eagles,” said Jill McCormick, Heritage junior varsity coach. “This is a meet where these girls can have fun with the opportunity to win events.” Cherry Creek had seven swimmers at the meet. “I brought seven of our top swimmers from our JV 2 squad,” said Jessica Dawkins, Bruins JV coach. “It is fun for the girls and fun for me because it is a more relaxed atmosphere so you have time to talk to and coach the girls. I was a little concerned coming off winter break, but the girls are doing very well today.” The girls really love the awards ceremonies. The JV girls can have success, receive awards, and that gets the athletes excited to for their next meet, she said. The Aurora Central pool has six lanes, so a team was limited to one entry in each of the events, and each event was divided into two heats. Awards ceremonies were held for each event. Ribbons were awarded for first through 12th place. Seventh through 12th place finishers lined up along the edge of the pool while first through sixth mounted the podium. “We worked with Englewood to host this meet,” said Sarah Ferris, Aurora Central coach. “This meet is different because it is more relaxed than the big meets. The girls love it because their families can come watch them compete and watch each of them get recognized as they receive a ribbon for their performance.”

even at the middle of the season as long as they continue to improve and turn in their best mat performances in the home stretch of the schedule when they go to regionals and hopefully qualify to go to state. Junior Jared Todd is one of the Eagles wrestlers Swanson expects to emerge as a contender for a spot in the state tournament. “Wrestling has been my sport since I was a little kid,” the team’s 152-pounder said. “My dad got my brothers and me into wrestling when we were young. I have two older brothers who were both Heritage wrestlers, so I am sort of following the family tradition.” Wrestling is Todd’s only high school sport, and he feels the time he spend working out during the off season has made him a better wrestler coming into this year, he said. “I feel I am stronger and I am faster,” he said. “I feel my wrestling techniques are improved because, since practice started, we have spent a lot of time working on the new moves we are learning.” Todd qualified for state as a freshman and a sophomore, so his goal is to win state this year. “Going to the Pepsi Center is a little scary,” he said. “But I know what it is like there will all the lights and the crowds so I am better prepared to focus on wrestling when I get to state. Like the coach said, I want to concentrate on earning a spot on the awards stand this year.”

New coach heads mat team Joe Swanson follows his life-long dream, takes over young Heritage squad By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Joe Swanson continued a life-long love of wrestling when he accepted the position of head wrestling coach for Heritage. He started wrestling when he was about 4 and wrestled in high school but chose to accept a college scholarship. But he remained involved in wrestling as he refereed a lot of matches during his collegiate career. “I remained involved in wrestling whether it was as a referee, helping run a free-style club or coaching high school teams. He was an assistant coach at Littleton High School for four seasons before being selected as the new Heritage coach. Swanson was selected to coach the Eagles to fill the position that had been held by Ray Barron for more than 25 years. “Ray had a lot of success over the years, and the team finished high in the standings at state last year,” Swanson said. “Coming to Heritage, I knew the expectations were the new coach would continue to keep the team at the level it was when Ray was the coach.” The Eagles are a very young team this season. “We only have two seniors in our varsity lineup so we have a lot of young kids wrestling for us. I think the strength of the team is the middle of our lineup at the weights starting about 145,” he said before the Jan. 7 match with Mountain Vista. “We are 1-1 in dual matches. The kids are great. I am a new coach with new ways of doing things so it takes time for our kids to adjust to the changes. But they are doing what I ask them to do, they are all working hard and I expect we will be a pretty good team this season.” Swanson is involved with the youth program that helps kids learn about the sport of wrestling. Both Heritage and Mountain Vista youth wrestling teams gathered and took to the mat for a scrimmage about an hour before the varsity match. The varsity match with Mountain Vista didn’t go well for Heritage as the Eagles didn’t win a match and the only points they received were from forfeits. “This wasn’t a good night for us, but I told the kids not to dwell on this night’s performances,” the coach said. “I told them we need to learn from everything we do. If we learn from tonight and perform better Saturday at Rangeview then I will be a happy coach.” He said he isn’t concerned about how they are now or

Mile High Academy set to move in Christian school established 100 years ago to open in August in Highlands Ranch By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Students of a 100-year-old school will once again fill the halls of the empty schoolhouse on Dad Clark Drive in Highlands Ranch. Mile High Academy, a Christian school serving preschool through high school students, will open its doors in August at 1733 Dad Clark Drive for the 2015-2016 school year. “This location has worked well so far, but we need to move on,” marketing director Agape Hammond said of the school at 711 E. Yale Ave., Denver. “The Highlands Ranch area itself is growing. Anything we can grow with is great.” Established in 1913, the school has been on Yale Avenue since 1949. But staff — some who have taught there for 40 years — and students are excited for the move. “It has been in discussion for about 20 years,” said Principal Toakase Vunileva. “It’s a miracle we have an opportunity to move into this new location.” The lot was home to one location of Denver Christian Schools for 26 years, prior to its last day of school in Highlands Ranch on May 23. Denver Christian Schools moved to a larger lot in Lakewood to consolidate its three locations onto one campus. Mile High Academy is relocating because it has outgrown its five-acre location on Yale Avenue. In the three years since she has been principal, Vunileva said enrollment has steadily increased. The school has 190 students, but the goal is to have 700 students by 2025. The additional 10 acres at the Highlands Ranch location will allow the school to grow. Renovation of the inside is already underway, with plans for future expansions of the structure, Hammond said. About 75 percent of its students live south and east of its current location. The new site right off of C-470, Vunileva said, will be more accessible. However, Mile High Academy is a commuting school, she said, so families are already accustomed to traveling. Mile High Academy “looks forward to joining the Highlands Ranch community, introducing them to our current friends and partners, and creating new partnerships,” Hammond said. “We are an involved and active school that desires to include the community around us.” The new school will be a great addition to the community, because it has the caliber of academic excellence this area is accustomed to, said Andrea LaRew, president of the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce. Also, she added, bringing more children and families to the community creates new opportunities for businesses to part-

First-grade teacher Carol Robbins works with her students on a math lesson. Mile High Academy will be closing the doors at its location on Yale Avenue in Denver to open its doors in August at its new location on Dad Clark Drive in Highlands Ranch. Photos by Christy Steadman ner with a reputable academic organization. Mile High Academy draws students from all faiths and has a number of community partners, including all the Adventist hospitals in Denver and outlying areas, Hammond said. Students also are involved with community outreach, she added. For example, students work with ACS Community Lift, which helps Denver-area individuals and families in different stages of need. “We are uniquely Christian,” Vunileva said. “The core of who we are comes from that.” The school emphasizes arts, leadership and technology in education, and hopes to expand its programs in music, athletics and science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Suzuki strings — violin, viola and cello — instruction is part of required curriculum for pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade students. “We’re a small school that provides a solid academic experience.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JAN. 12, 2015

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) That lower-than-acceptable performance you’re getting from others in your group might be the result of miscommunication. If so, correct it before serious problems arise later on. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) An unexpected situation could call for a change of plans. If so, you might feel that this is unfair. But it’s best to make the needed adjustments now. There’ll be time later for rescheduling. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) The new year brings opportunities you might want to look into. Some might be more interesting than others. But take time to look at all of them before you make any decisions.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) It’s a good idea to be careful about expenses until you’ve worked out that pesky financial problem. You might find it advisable to get some solid advice on how to proceed. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Romance looms large over the Leonine aspect. Single Lions looking for love should find Cupid very cooperative. Paired Cats can expect a renewed closeness in their relationships. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Making contact with a former colleague might not be high on your list of priorities. But it could pay off personally as well as professionally. Avoid bringing up any negatives about the past. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A personal relationship could face added stress because of a situation involving someone close to both of you. Be supportive and, above all, try to avoid playing the blame game. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You might well find some lingering uncertainties about a decision. If so, take that as a warning that you might not be ready to make that move yet. More study would be in order. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Music is a dominant theme for Sagittarians right now, and it should remind you to make a greater effort to restore some much-needed harmony in that very special relationship. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Although family matters might demand much of the Sea Goat’s attention this week, you’ll want to try to make time to handle those all-important workplace situations as well. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A recurring unresolved issue might need to be revisited before you can move forward. Consider asking someone familiar with the situation to act as an impartial counselor. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Ignore pressure to make a decision. Keeping your options open is still the wisest course, at least until you’re sure you’ve learned all you need to know about the matter at hand. BORN THIS WEEK: You’re capable of great loyalty to those around you, which is one reason you can count on devotion from friends and family. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Indicators bring optimism as final numbers take shape By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Final numbers aren’t yet in, but shopping center managers in the south metro area believe full parking lots, full shopping bags and smiling consumers point to an economically merry holiday season. “We believe the holidays were very strong for us,” said Andrea Nyquist, marketing director for the Outlets at Castle Rock. “What we’re hearing from all our brands (stores) seems very positive. People seemed happy. We noticed bigger family units shopping, and spending more time. Folks seemed very happy with the offerings, and I also think the outlet concept lends itself to good value.” At Park Meadows, November sales figures were “really strong,” general manager Pamela Schenck Kelly said. “But it wasn’t as a result of Black Friday,” she said. “It was really because customers were shopping during the earlier weeks in November. Weather was on our side.” December’s snow impacted traffic early in

provides complimentary gift wrapping services during the holidays. This season, mall employees’ fingers were flying. “We figured we wrapped over 5,000 packages over the four weeks of the holiday,” she said. The gifts she saw indicated shoppers were feeling generous. “There were big gifts; one customer had bought iPads for eight members of his family,” she said. “We saw a lot of really nice gifts. Some years you see a lot of necessity-type of stuff. This year, Mom wasn’t just buying a sweater; she was buying the whole outfit. We saw a lot of technology items, and we got a gazillion American Girl and Build-a-Bear dolls.” Nyquist and Kelly both attribute the generous spending in part to the area’s demographics. Douglas County’s median household income exceeds $100,000. “You have a very positive and progressive demographic in this particular area, and we do have a positive economy moving forward,” Kelly said. The National Retail Federation forecast a 4.1 percent increase in retail sales from 2013 to 2014. The first wave of national sales figures were released Jan. 8, and so far indicate the upbeat forecast was accurate.
