Getting to KNOW the
By Christy Steadman
The search for a new Littleton Public Schools superintendent has been narrowed to four finalists. The names announced at the Feb. 26 Littleton Board of Education meeting are Amy Oaks, Littleton High School principal; Clay Abla, Littleton director of secondary education; Brian Ewert, Englewood Schools superintendent; and Jackie Kapushion, Mapleton Schools deputy superintendent. The candidates will be interviewed on March 14. Initial interviews will be conducted by two superintendent selection advisory committees made up of Littleton faculty, staff members and community residents. The boards will advise the Littleton Board of Education, which will conduct the final interviews. The public will be welcome to observe the interviews, but no questions or comments will be allowed. The school board alone makes the final decision and expects to announce it by March 19. Scott Murphy, who has been superintendent since 2006, announced in October he will retire effective June 15 after 25 years with the district. Last fall, the Colorado Association of School Boards held a community forum to gather thoughts on what qualities his replacement should have. Everyone in the room agreed the new superintendent will have a lot on his or her plate. They hope the person will be forceful enough to advocate for local interests against state and federal mandates, but patient enough to listen to the community. They expect someone who will stick around for the long haul with a long-term vision, not just someone to play a transitional role. Above all, they want someone who values transparency and demands it across the district. “Everybody wants somebody that’s going to walk on water when it’s not frozen,” joked CASB’s Mark DeVoti, assistant executive director. The application window was Jan. 5 through Feb. 12, and it was advertised nationally.

No business like snow business Snow teams keep runways clear, even when skies aren’t
Special to Colorado Community Media To someone who’s never seen nighttime snow removal on Centennial Airport’s runway, it’s more like a well-choreographed ice dance than just some inclement weather operation. Snow blowers and plows, with twinkling lights, move gracefully along the airport’s 10,000-foot main runway, 35R, all under the watchful eye of the Snow Boss, a designation given to the operations specialist who coordinates and directs snow-removal crews and activities. “We normally like to work around air traffic rather than closing the runway completely,” explains Lorie Hinton, assistant airport director. “With the help of the control tower, we plow inbetween arriving and departing aircraft, and that keeps airport operations moving smoothly.” Driving heavy equipment that can chew up several feet of snow and toss it hundreds of feet in the air, snow removal crewmembers await clearance from the Snow Boss before entering a runway or controlled area. Communication among everyone involved is critical. Safety is always a priority. With precision movement, vehicles move up and down the runway, creating a floating cloud of snow. Once vehicles have cleared the runway, a runway inspection is required. During the inspection, the Snow Boss drives the entire length of the runway in a lighted vehicle, measures the depth of any remaining snow, checks vehicle braking action, and looks for large chunks of ice that might have dropped from a plow blade. The information is then condensed into a brief report, called a Notice to Airmen, or NOTAM for short, and then issued via a special Federal Aviation Administration website. According to Hinton, snow removal is a combination of both science and art. While meteorology and physics play a major role, she said there’s still the art of knowing where to put the snow to keep ground traffic mov-
During a big storm, everyone has to measure up, including the weather. Here Centennial Airport intern Derald Shaw measures snow depth on the airport’s longest runway, 35R, using a simple ruler. Information about runway conditions are gathered in a multitude of ways and then assimilated into reports for pilots and other airport users. Photos by Deborah Grigsby Smith/Centennial Airport ing. After major snowstorms, piles of excess snow in non-critical areas of the airport often look like mini-mountain ranges. During inclimate weather, aircraft traffic lessens, but critical operations, such as law enforcement and medical evacuation flights, do not, added Hinton. Centennial Airport is home to several air ambulance operators, like Flight for Life, that rely on the airport’s round-the-clock vigilance to help save lives. Centennial Airport is one of the busiest general aviation airports in North America, seeing more than 800 take-offs and landings each day, serving a diverse client base, including cargo, corporate charter, recreational, medical evacuation, law enforcement, military and flight training. Centennial Airport is an 11-time winner of the Balchen/Post Award, a national recognition honoring excellence in airport snow and ice removal. — Deborah Grigsby Smith, Centennial Airport
To maximize efficiency, snow-removal teams at Centennial Airport work around arriving and departing aircraft, rather than shutting the entire runway down. Assistant Airport Director, Lorie Hinton, right, and aviation management intern, Derald Shaw, left, instruct snowplows to hold their position while a departing jet enters the taxiway. Communication between airport operations, pilots and the control tower is critical, not only for safety, but to ensure operations continue as weather conditions permit.

Pot proposal gets committee’s OK State bill covers gaps in current regulation By Amy Woodward
awoodward @coloradocommunitymedia.com Medical marijuana growers and patients are inching closer to potential regulations. The Colorado Senate’s Health and Human Services Committee has unanimously passed a comprehensive bill concerning a variety of medical marijuana issues that are not regulated by the state’s revenue department. Under the bill by Sen. Irene Aguilar, DDenver, the Colorado medical board must adopt rules regarding guidelines for physicians who make medical marijuana recommendations for patients suffering from severe pain, the bill reads.
In addition, the bill would require the state health agency to adopt rules and guidelines for primary caregivers to give informed consent to patients that products may contain contaminants and that the THC levels are not verified. The bill highlights that all primary caregivers must register with the state health agency and the state medical marijuana licensing authority as well as allowing both agency and authority to share information to ensure a patient has only one caregiver. Finally, the bill permits money in the marijuana tax fund to be used for the application of any bills approved by the marijuana revenues interim committee. “The federal expectation is that states that have allowed marijuana to be legal, and local governments, will implement strong and an effective regulatory and enforcement systems that will protect public safety, public health
and other law enforcement interests,” Aguilar said. “It (the bill) was designed to focus on preventing inappropriate access to medical marijuana by focusing on appropriate physician recommendations for medical marijuana use and severe pain.” The bill diverts medical marijuana from poorly regulated caregivers and also provides a mechanism for law enforcement to differentiate legitimate from illegal cultivation and transportation in the state, Aguilar said. Opponents of the bill said the legislation allows for intrusion and poses constitutional issues where information gathered may be given to the federal government. “This bill, in my opinion, is based on a false premise, which is that essentially, patients and caregivers are criminals and tax evaders,” said Terri Robnett, founder of Cannabis Patients Alliance. “What this comes down to for us is whether or not we can trust that these are
protections or these are opportunities for law enforcement intrusion.” However, Sens. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, and Beth Martinez Humenik, R-Thornton, argued the bill helps to protect constitutional rights afforded through the passing of Amendment 20 from those who are looking to unlawfully benefit from some of the gaps that are present with the medical marijuana industry in Colorado. “There’s a lot of gray area with this,” said Martinez Humenik. “I think when this was originally passed, it opened up Pandora’s box and this is a multi-faceted topic but I don’t think that the bill … the way it is written right now … is meant to take away the rights of people to get the medicinal marijuana … it’s just to make sure, to legitimize, those folks that are actually doing it the right way.” The bill moves to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Governor: Oil, gas rules must protect mineral owners’ rights By Dan Elliot
Associated Press Any attempt to give local governments more control over oil and gas drilling in Colorado must protect the rights of people who own underground mineral rights, Gov. John Hickenlooper said Feb. 27. Some people have owned or leased those rights for decades, long before Colorado’s growing cities spread onto land above rich oil and gas deposits, Hickenlooper said. “What right does government have to take that person’s lease away from them?” he said. “Through no fault of their own, the march of suburbanization, suddenly their lease is worth less than it was.” Surface owners’ property rights should also be protected, Hickenlooper said, adding that energy companies are required to pay for damage. Noise, dust and other effects should also be taken into account, he said. Asked if he would support stronger compensation rules for surface owners, the governor said he would want to see the specifics. “I certainly wouldn’t go there without having
something in front of me and making sure it’s fair to all concerned,” he said. Hickenlooper spoke on the same day that his oil and gas task force submitted nine recommendations for easing tension created by the oil and gas industry in the state, often when wells are drilled near homes and schools. Most Colorado wells use Hickenlooper hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which pumps a high-pressure mix of water, sand and chemicals to break up underground formations and release oil and gas. Public concern about the health, safety and environmental effects has worsened the tensions. The task force suggested giving local governments a consulting role in the location of large oil and gas facilities, such as wells and storage tanks, in urban areas. But proposals to give cities and counties the power to make their own rules didn’t get the necessary twothirds vote to become a recommendation. That brought criticism from many, includ-
ing at least two people on the 21-member task force: co-chairwoman Gwen Lachelt and member Matt Sura. Hickenlooper said the criticism was unfair and that the panel made good progress toward easing the state’s conflicts. Other recommendations in the panel’s final report include expanding the staffs of state agencies that regulate oil and gas and monitor public health; creating an oil and gas information clearinghouse; studying ways to reduce heavy truck traffic to and from oilfield sites; and asking the Legislature to endorse new state rules on pollution. Hickenlooper said he would not tell the Legislature or regulators whether or not the recommendations should be enacted. But he said he supported them. “I think all nine of them make a lot of sense,” he said. He defended the state’s health and safety protections and said Colorado’s oil and gas regulations are among the strongest in the nation. “Is it perfect? Are we done? No,” he said. “My guess is ... in the years to come we’ll have
higher standards still.” Other states are struggling with how to regulate oil and gas as fracking spreads. New York banned fracking last year, but Hickenlooper has said a ban wouldn’t work in Colorado because it would hurt a valuable industry and leave the state vulnerable to lawsuits alleging an improper “taking” of energy companies’ property. In New York, fracking would have occurred relatively close to aquifers, natural underground water reservoirs, Hickenlooper said. Fracking wells in Colorado are a mile away from aquifers, he said. There have been no instances where the fracking process itself has contaminated water, only cases in which the lining of a well has failed or when chemicals were spilled above ground, he said. The state has come down hard on energy companies for those kinds of incidents, Hickenlooper said.

ported in the 1950s that he was the only Littleton student who died in the Korean War. The 19-year-old joined the Army in 1950. He was sent to Korea and assigned to the Third Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division, which was stationed near the Chosin Reservoir. He was among the soldiers captured in early December. He was taken to Prisoner of War Camp One on the Yalu River, where he died on Feb. 3, 1951. His remains were returned by the North Korean government along with the unidentified remains of about 500 soldiers. Joanna Mueller, the wife of Jackson’s grandnephew, was notified in January that the soldier’s remains had been identified and arraignments were made for the March 7 funeral.

Distillery pub guidelines pass House committee Craft brew, winery operations are model By Amy Woodward
awoodward @coloradocommunitymedia.com Restaurant distilleries could be a new business choice in Colorado after a bill defining guidelines for distillery pubs passed out of its first House committee last week. Sponsored by Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, with Senate co-sponsorship by Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, the bill was unanimously approved by lawmakers, which opens doors
for the state’s 73 licensed distilleries. “The distillery pub bill allows someone that does not want to be a full-blown manufacturer to open a restaurant that has a small distillery as part of the operation,” said Stephen Gould, owner of Golden Moon Distillery. A distillery pub license, approved by the state and a local government, would be similar to a brewpub or winery license, where the establishment must serve food and wholesale sales are limited. Per the bill, licensed premises could not ferment or distill more than 2,700 liters or 300 cases per product per year on the premises, and the total limit on annual produc-
tion of spirits would be 45,000 liters or 5,000 cases. “We just want to make sure we keep it small and local because that has been the model that’s made brew pubs so successful in Colorado,” Sen. Andy Kerr said. CB Potts and Ironworks are examples of popular brewpubs, similar to what House Bill 1204 would allow for distillers. The bill allows for recognition and opportunity for an industry that is normally in the shadows. “It puts the craft distilling industry more in line with what the craft brewing industry has been in Colorado,” said Sean Smiley, owner of State-38 Distilling in Golden.
Smiley sits on the board of directors for the Colorado Distillers Guild, a trade organization whose members made several recommendations on the bill. “We’ve kind of been the stepchild in terms of alcohol manufacturing,” Smiley said. “But we’re growing in numbers and I feel like the distilling wave is kind of the second wave to the craft brew wave that came through.” Kevin Settles, owner of Bardenay, a restaurant distillery in Idaho, has been credited as the facilitator behind the bill. Settles did not comment by press time, but several sources have said that Settles is looking to expand his businesses from Idaho to Colorado.

League of Women Voters expands reach
Arapahoe County unit s for orga-brings Douglas into fold rec-
By Jennifer Smith
ermsjsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com “But e the This is not your grandma’s League of Women Voters, say Marlu Burkamp, Jo Fedve to er and Maggi Markey. ” They are three of the 103 members — resthree of whom are men — of what was the dited Arapahoe County unit. It recently expanded and is now the League of Women Voters of time, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. les is “Somebody started counting up how dahomany Douglas County members there were, and it was 25 percent,” said Markey. “It just seemed logical to rebrand ourselves.” It’s not the first time the group has expanded its reach as the issues themselves become more regional. It started out as the Littleton League of Women Voters, but now it tackles topics like land use, education, urban renewal and fracking that affect the county and its neighbors. “Everything begins locally,” said Burkamp. “It behooves people to look at lo-
cal politics and evaluate what’s going on.” The women stress that the LWV is a nonpartisan group that supports issues, not candidates, and only after careful study and general consensus. It’s perhaps best known for hosting balanced candidate and issue forums. In fact, the group recently canceled one for the special election in Littleton because one side backed out. They know sometimes the league is cast as left-leaning, but they say there are Democrats, Republicans and plenty of independents in their mix. “Most Republicans I know support these social issues, because they’re really not Democrat or Republican issues, they’re women’s issues,” said Feder. The national league celebrated its 95th birthday on Valentine’s Day, born of the suffragette movement. “The founders said now that women have the right to vote, they’d better act intelligently, and they’d better get educated,” said Markey. Thanks to the success of the suffragettes, LVW has at times seen its numbers dwindle LWV continues on Page 9

Seek inspiration for motivation creation Motivation is one of those things that really has an impact on everyone, especially those facing a lack of motivation. And when I have this discussion with people and with organizations, I hear all kinds of responses and rationale for why some people are extremely self-motivated or driven and how others just seem to be inspirationally challenged. Motivators, the motivated, and the unmotivated come in all shapes and sizes, from all walks of life, and from every age category. Many companies I work with or talk with have expressed a challenge with motivating their millennial employees as well as the people on their staff that are nearing retirement. The millennials don’t seem to be motivated by the same things that their managers, executives, or owners are motivated by, and those looking down the corridor of retirement are no longer motivated by the projects, opportunities, and potential that once excited them years before. All of us, regardless of our age or occupation, have probably battled the lack of motivation or inspiration at some point in our lives. Even the most optimistic and motivated people I know deal with setbacks such as financial issues, health crises, family situations, and work-related stress. And again, even the most inspired people can take a day off or maybe even a week or month away from their motivated lives. Now I can share with you that I have seen retirees and children of all ages and
people from every age group in between eventually find their source of inspiration, or recapture that motivated feeling. And in every case, not just some of the cases, but every single case, the person has agreed that regardless of everything else happening around them, their lives were happier and more productive. So what motivates you? Is it volunteering? Helping others achieve success? Skiing? Golfing? A healthy body? A devoted spiritual life? Your children? Your spouse? A new opportunity? Your business? Music? Your friends? Someone who has reached or achieved success? Your own goals and dreams? The sun? The snow? A smile? A hug? Something else? I am sure if we all gave some time to sit and think about what truly inspires us and pursued each with passion and commitment, that we would also enjoy our lives and feel more productive each and every day. So for the manager who struggles with managing the millennials on your staff, help them discover what motivates them. For parents who are seeing a child that is
less than motivated, challenge them a little to talk about what excites them, what they want to be, who their heroes are, and help them find that spark of inspiration. For those of you nearing retirement or already retired, remember what you enjoyed most about what you have accomplished and maybe find ways to inspire others or share your stories and best practices with those coming up behind you. As I write this column, hundreds of ideas are flooding my mind with ways that I can further motivate myself as well as things that I can still complete today that will give me a sense of satisfaction, gratitude, and achievement. I am motivated for sure. As a matter of fact, I will start writing the list of things that I will do today and this week and that will motivate me even more. And I encourage you to try the same exercise and see if you don’t find a little spark of inspiration along the way for yourself. How about you, how is your motivational level these days? Do you need a jump-start or are you flying high towards the achievement of your goals and dreams, feeling happy and productive each day? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we find our motivators in life, it really will be a better than good week.

Some who get in elevator deserve to get the shaft If you had to get stuck in an elevator with someone, who would you want it to be or not to be? I wouldn’t want to get stuck in an elevator with that guy who sells OxiClean. Ree Drummond, “The Pioneer Woman.” I don’t think anyone wants to be around anyone who is grinning all of the time. Hear that, Joel Osteen? Gives me the creeps. Here’s the rest of my list: Nancy Grace. Brent Musburger. Guy Fieri. Fieri can’t even pronounce “Fieri.” I wouldn’t want to be in a stalled elevator with Suze Orman. She would look right though me and see my credit card debts. But I would finally get to ask her, “What’s up with the hair?” I couldn’t handle Roberto Benigni. After a while, he would be hanging upside down. I would rather not be in the same time zone with Wayne LaPierre, much less an unmoving elevator. That “Nobody beats the King” kid. Shut up and go to school. “The View.” That would do me in. Lena Dunham. “Girls” is a lot like watching unattractive people doing laundry in their underwear. Kanye West. Outside of his wife, who can stand him? Outside of him, who can stand his wife? Dinger. Dinger is an embarrassment to baseball. On the other hand. I would like to have some music, while
we were waiting for maintenance. The Everly Brothers. Wouldn’t that be something? “Love of my life, come close to me, say you will always be true.” If you have been following right along with me, you could probably guess a few of these: Groucho Marx, W.C. Fields and Steven Wright. Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain. Katharine Hepburn. Audrey Hepburn. Raymond Chandler. It’s going to get crowded in there, like the “Night at the Opera” stateroom scene. I would have Alfred Hitchcock tell his great elevator story, and ask him to time it so that it nearly ended when the doors opened. Hitchcock and a friend entered an elevator on the 25th floor of the St. Regis Hotel in New York in 1964. They rode in silence to the 19th floor, where three well-dressed people entered the elevator. Hitchcock then began to tell a story.
“Well. It was quite shocking, there was blood everywhere.” He developed the narrative on the way down, undoubtedly keeping track of the floors they were passing, until he almost but not quite finished the story. “Blood all around! Well, I looked at the poor fellow and I said, ‘Good God, man, what’s happened to you?’” When the elevator reached the lobby and the doors opened, Hitchcock said, “And do you know what he told me?” Then Hitchcock and his friend walked out, leaving the other three passengers in suspense. He had made up the whole thing. “That’s just my elevator story.” I wouldn’t mind suffering through our rescue with Grace Kelly nearby. It would be wonderful to finally meet Ogden Nash. “The trouble with a kitten is that eventually it becomes a cat.” Dorothy Parker. Parker Posey. Why not? Anita Ekberg. The “La Dolce Vita” Anita Ekberg. “My eyes are up here, Craig.” I’d kind of like to know what H.L. Mencken had to say. And there’s one more. I’d be very happy if Buddy Holly was on the elevator too, so I could say “Thank you.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Bringing balance to the fracking debate Following the collapse of the Don’t Frack Denver campaign last week, Arapahoe County appears to be the next victim of the anti-fracking movement. Another group targeted us by releasing a map aimed at scaring Arapahoe County residents into thinking drilling was arriving in their backyard at any moment. Despite the rumors, I know firsthand that local communities and their elected leaders have an active voice in Colorado’s oil and gas development process. We’ve had some level of drilling in Arapahoe County for 40 years. And when the Board of County Commissioners became aware of an increased interest four years ago, we tightened our existing rules. Our County didn’t wait until it was too late. We took matters into our own hands and crafted a Memorandum Of Understanding so Arapahoe County, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission,
and the oil and gas industry could set the stage to allow responsible oil and gas development to occur on our terms. In doing so, we ensured development would occur in a manner that is workable (and efficient) for everyone. The MOU in Arapahoe County was an 18-month process of listening to our community, including environmental groups, neighborhood associations, citizens, businesses, and industry. To ensure safety was
our number one concern, we made certain our rules exceeded the regulations required by the state for drilling. We took the time to answer concerns and, at the end of a thorough process, the MOU passed with unanimous bipartisan support. The agreement we reached embodies the idea of balance. The COGCC monitors the drilling process, while Arapahoe County regulates activities that occur above the surface, like noise and wastewater storage. This understanding also keeps both the state and county from being spread too thin, without limiting energy production. In addition, Arapahoe County made an additional commitment to our citizens by hiring an oil and gas specialist. Businesses in every industry are looking for certainty. Because concerns are addressed and solved up front in the Sharpe continues on Page 9

Honest Abe makes whistle stop at ACC Journalism students pepper ‘president’ with questions By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com When President Abraham Lincoln walked into a journalism class at Arapahoe Community College last week, the students proved their mettle as reporters by asking the tough questions. An example from Geraldine Smith, “Are you going to the theater tonight?” To the president’s credit, he didn’t dodge the … question. The answer was no, but he’d been there before. “I was living Washington, D.C., off of Pennsylvania Avenue 10 years ago, and I’d be walking around the city, and people would stop in traffic and say, ‘Hey, Mr. President, how are you doing today?’ ” said Bruce Spear, breaking out of his alter ego. So Spear joined the Association of Lincoln Presenters, which has more than 150 members across the country, and transformed himself into the spitting image of Honest Abe. But in reality, the only thing Spear is president of is Englewood Rotary. Back in character, Spear talked about how the press corps has changed from Lincoln’s days as president, from March 4, 1861 until that fateful evening in Ford’s
Looking somewhat out of place in a classroom full of modern technology, “Abe Lincoln” told some ACC students how the media has changed since his day. Photo by Jennifer Smith Theater on April 15, 1865. He said Lincoln would hand out copies of his speeches to reporters and make sure to read them verbatim, in an effort to keep them from misquoting him. “But it’s amazing how the words weren’t changed, but the meaning was changed to
LWV
reflect whatever position they wanted to take,” he said. Or they’d be discounted altogether, as in the The Harrisburg Patriot & Union’s comments on the Gettysburg Addresss: “We pass over the silly remarks of the President. For the credit of the nation, we
are willing that the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them, and that they shall be no more repeated or thought of.” Bob Burdick, ACC journalism instructor and a retired newspaper editor, noted that technology has really returned the world to those days of “whistle-stop speeches,” with politicians able to communicate directly with people without the filter of the press. “But today you can pick up a mic in New York and talk to people in San Francisco,” he said. “Back then, you could only talk to the 400 or 500 people who would crowd around you and hear your voice.” Spear said that while Lincoln was a proponent of free speech, he actually put a lot of people in jail for using words to try to “bring down the government.” Burdick said it was the equivalent of governments censoring people on matters of “national security.” Asked how the world might be different had John Wilkes Booth not assassinated Lincoln, Spear said he probably would have taken more steps toward equal rights for the slaves he freed. “If he had lived, I think he would have done a lot of different things with the black folks than he got a chance to,” he said. “I don’t think he would have been as famous in history if he had lived, but it probably would have been much better for the country.”

as women went off to work and their lives got busier. But many of today’s members originally joined during the feminist movement in the 1960s and ‘70s. “Back in the ‘60s, there were a lot of young women who had very good educations, and they needed something more than staying home with the children,” said Markey. “Studying the issues and being involved, I think, filled an intellectual need for them. I think many of those same people have had very successful careers, and now they’re coming back. They’re retired, but they still have energy and interest.” Indeed, all three are now retired. But Markey was an attorney and the first woman to be elected county commissioner in Boulder. Feder was in human relations, and Burkamp was a reporter who went on to be a marketing professional. While still very much committed to the league, they’re hoping a younger generation will step up to swell their ranks. “You do learn a lot, and it gives you an opportunity to interact with people who have similar issues,” said Markey. “When you try to research alone, you don’t have the benefit of highly intelligent people to bounce your ideas off of.” For more information, visit www.lwvarapahoedouglas. org or call 303-730-2356.

MOU process, the companies interested in developing the energy beneath our feet can continue with short and longer term planning. That’s good for Arapahoe County, its residents and the industry. By no means are we overlooking the fact that this is an industrial process, but keep in mind many companies have an interest in going above and beyond our already stringent regulations. For example, consolidating equipment, centralizing operations, and utilizing underground pipelines to transport oil and water instead of relying on trucks will reduce traffic, noise and emissions. It’s smart business and better for our environment. With more than 110,000 Coloradans’ employment tied to oil and gas development, the benefits of responsible energy development certainly outweigh the impacts. Finally, let’s not forget about the 600,000 people who have ties to mineral rights in Colorado, some of whom live in Arapahoe County. In 2012, private landowners in Colorado collected an estimated $614 million in oil and gas royalties — keeping farms, ranches and families across the state afloat. The National Association of Royalty Owners estimates a ban on fracking in one Colorado county could cost taxpayers over $1 billion in compensation to mineral owners. I personally do not want that to happen to us. The well-being of citizens should be of paramount concern for any public official. This means working to ensure industrial practices are well-regulated, our environment protected, and at the same time making sure we have jobs and tax revenue to support crucial public services. As an elected official, mother and grandmother, it is disappointing to see agenda-driven organizations show up out of nowhere and misinform our residents. That’s certainly not how Colorado earned its collaborative reputation of reaching across party lines, listening to others and finding balance. Nancy Sharpe is the Arapahoe County commissioner for District 2.
Henry S. Weigel soared into the heavens on his final flight on February 13, 2015 at age 95 years. He was born in Princeton, New Jersey on September 14, 1919 to Henry and Julia Lena Weigel. He attended Princeton NJ public schools and graduated from Princeton High School in 1937. He attained the rank of Eagle Scout in 1935. He worked for his father at the Princeton Dairy through high school and assisted in the processing, bottling and delivery of milk to Princeton customers. He attended Rutgers University in the summer of 1937 taking a course in dairy processing and manufacturing. However, he had a chance in the summer of 1935 to take a ride at the Mercer County airport from an exhibition pilot by carrying gas cans for refueling. His desire to fly simply grew year after year. In the fall of 1937, he decided to go to work for Luscombe Aircraft Corporation in West Trenton, NJ. He received his Airplane and Engine Maintenance Rating certificate in 1939. In 1940 he went to work for Cape Aircraft at Hatchville, MA County Airport as an aircraft mechanic. Henry enlisted in the U.S. Army on December 15, 1941 in Boston, MA. He applied for and was accepted into the Army Air Corps and was assigned as an aviation trainee cadet in January, 1942. He completed preflight, primary, basic, advanced and B-17 Transition schools in Maxwell Airfield in Montgomery, AL; Bainbridge Airfield, Decatur, GA; Blytheville Airfield, Blytheville, AR; Kaye Airfield in Columbus, MS; Hendricks Field in Sebring, FL and Randolph Airfield near San Antonio, TX. In Feb. 1943, he was assigned to four-engine B-17 and B-24 bomber training and was stationed at Gowen Field, Boise, Idaho but in
April, 1943 he was transferred to Wendover Army Air Field in Utah. At Gowen Field, he was assigned to a 10-man crew to train for assignment to England but before he could complete training, he was assigned to Wendover Air Field as a Maintenance Test Pilot as part of field operations. In December, 1943 he and his maintenance test crew were assigned to the 399th Bomber Operations Group, 607th Squadron at March Air Field near Riverside, Calif. He served as a B-24 Instructor Pilot, Flight Test Maintenance Officer, Test Pilot, Test Flight Engineer and directed the flight testing of all repaired aircraft at March Field including not only B-17 and B-24 aircraft but also the B-18, B-25, B-26, P38, P39, P40, P47, P63, C45, C47. He flew many of the repaired and re-fitted fighters and bombers before they were released back to their respective units. Also at March Air Field, he met and married Violet Griffith on June 23, 1945 in Riverside, CA. Vi worked in March Field Air Operations. They were married for 59 years. In March, 1946 he became a co-pilot for Penn Central Airlines in Washington, D.C. Penn Central merged into Capitol Airlines by 1950. Capitol Airlines then merged into United Airlines in the early 1960’s. He flew east coast routes with Penn Central, Capitol and United Airlines primarily out of National Airport (now Reagan National) in Washington, D.C. In 1968, he was transferred to Denver, CO and became Manager of Flight Standards for United Airlines. Henry flew commercial aircraft for 34 years and retired in 1979. He flew many different
types of commercial aircraft. His last plane was the DC-10. He and family lived in Alexandria, VA while flying out of National Airport. They were active in small sailboat racing on the Potomac River. They were active in Pohick Church in Lorton, VA. The family moved to Littleton, CO in 1968 when he was transferred to Stapleton Airport in Denver, CO. In 1996, he and Vi moved to Bartlesville, Oklahoma. They loved to travel, camping, boating and fishing. He was very active in the Oak Park United Methodist Church and in 2009 at the age of 90 he received the Pat McGarrity Award for Excellence in Volunteerism by City of Bartlesville Project Transformation. This award was given for helping young children in the 10-week summer reading program. Lastly, he was been able to drive, mow his yard and do car repairs until July, 2014. He is proceeded in death by his wife Vi, his oldest son Stephen Russel Weigel and oldest daughter Julie Kathleen Blackstone. He is survived by his sister, Barbara L. Weigel of Newport News, VA, son Bruce Weigel of Aurora, CO; daughter Sue Troeger of Centennial, CO and Barbara Kelley of Bartlesville, OK. He has seven grandchildren; Brandon Blackstone, Brie Blackstone, Capt. Shaun Kelley, Maggie Kelley, Andy Troeger, Grant Troeger and Travis Weigel. He has ten great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held at 11am at the WalkerBrown Funeral Home in Bartlesville, OK with graveside services held at Dewey Cemetery in Dewey, OK. The family is requesting donations in lieu of flowers be given to either Journey Home Hospice Care House, Bartlesville, OK or Oak Park United Methodist Church, Bartlesville, OK.

Therapy pigs b r i n g SMILES, s park MEMORIES Pumba and Boris visit people with cognitive impairments at local facilities By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Opal Vollbaum had a memory of something. She remembered she grew up on a farm in Texas. On that farm, they grew corn, and there were horses, cows and pigs. More than 100 pigs, she said. Vollbaum remembered her dad took care of the pigs, her friends didn’t want to touch the pigs, and sometimes, she and her two sisters would chase them. Other times, she and her sisters got chased by the pigs. She lives at Highline Place in Littleton, an Anthem Memory Care community for people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Vollbaum can’t always remember a lot of things, but two special pot-bellied pigs, Pumba and Boris, help spark Vollbaum’s memory of having fun on that farm in Texas. “Pumba and Boris like attention and they like people in particular,” pig owner Erin Brinkley-Burgardt said. “The biggest thing is they bring cheer to an atmosphere that can be a pretty dark place.” Pumba, a 10-month old male weighing about 40 pounds, and Boris, a fullgrown male at 1 ½ years old and about 55 pounds, are therapy pigs that live at Hog Haven Farm in Denver. Brinkley-Burgardt, whose grandfather had dementia when he died, volunteers her time to bring Pumba and Boris to Highline Place every Sunday. The pigs also have monthly therapy sessions at Wind Crest, a retirement community in Highlands Ranch, during the Intermissions Program, which is offered to Wind Crest residents living with some level of dementia. “The program is all about putting a smile on their faces,” said Kathy Krajecki, the intermissions coordinator at Wind Crest. “At least one smile a day.” People with a cognitive impairment need to stay engaged, she added. “The more often and longer they are alone,” Krajecki said, “the faster the disease takes over.” Plus, she said, everybody likes animals of some sort, and Pumba and Boris give

Denver Center chooses new president, CEO
Tavern adds new concept
Pumba and Boris, therapy pigs who make their way to Alzheimer’s and dementia patients in the South Metro area, get in their wagon Feb. 25 after an hour-long visit with residents as part of the Intermissions Program at Wind Crest in Highlands Ranch. Photo by Christy Steadman the residents something to talk about. “They have a story they can share with each other at dinner.” Studies reveal pet therapy for people with cognitive impairments eases agitation, and after a therapy session, a person’s appetite increases, said Jodi Cornman, the community relations director for Highline Place. But anything that reminds them of their childhood is good, she added. There is some stigma about pigs, Brinkley-Burgardt said, but pot-bellied pigs are bred differently than farm pigs. Pot-bellied pigs make good therapy pets because they are companion animals — they’re not aggressive, they’re very social and are domesticated so they are easily trained, Brinkley-Burgardt said. Pumba and Boris, in particular, love to snuggle and will do tricks for treats, she said. Sometimes people are a bit timid to pet or feed Pumba and Boris at first, BrinkleyBurgardt said, but before the hour-long visit is over, they always end up becoming friendly with the pigs. “The visits always end up being a positive experience,” Brinkley-Burgardt said. “I plan on continuing this work as long as I can with these two. I think it’s the highlight of their week.”
In January, The Tavern Hospitality Group quietly unveiled a new concept, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, at 2907 Huron St., a stone’s throw from Coors Field. With a nod to the area’s history, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot embraces the character of the historical industrial district that was centralized around a major railroad intersection, and has black-and-white photos of Denver in the 1930s. In keeping with the essence of the former bag factory, industrial materials such as concrete, steel and wood are incorporated into the building design. In addition to a street-side patio, a rooftop patio with community tables made from repurposed wood provides an expansive view of the city. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot features more than 90 whiskeys including Pappy Van Winkle, a whiskey that has a small production and can be hard to find. Cameron Rogers, regional manager, was able to collect the full Pappy Van Winkle lineup; however, with its rarity, it will only be available for a limited time. Rogers handpicked a Knob Creek 12-year single barrel whiskey on a visit to the Jim Beam distillery in Kentucky. It will be bottled exclusively for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and be available in the next few months. The menu features appetizers home such as pork wings, seared tuna tacos and glazed Brussels sprouts. For entrees, try the signature Foxtrot fried chicken or tender braised pot roast on a baguette. Hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Valet parking is available from 4 to 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. For more information, go to www.whiskeytf.com or call 303-226-1540.

Art exhibit linked to healing theme Heritage nonprofit is in its fifth decade By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Through its long years of operation, the Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County has reached out to its community in many ways: exhibits, workshops, scholarships and more. A new project continues that tradition, as members have created an exhibit sponsored by the Healing Arts Program of the Rocky Mountain Adventist Hospital Healthcare Foundation. From March 4 through May 4, a collection of 16-by-20inch paintings, in several media — oil, pastel and watercolor — will hang in the gallery at Littleton Adventist Hospital. There will be a reception with the artists from 5 to 7 p.m. on March 18. The original artwork focuses on nature-inspired themes and “will help create an uplifting space that is restorative and calming for our patients, staff and visitors,” said Jude Keller, director of the Healing Arts Program. “We are committed to partnering with our community and pleased to feature hand-made pieces by local artists.” She noted that research consistently demonstrates the proven healing and restorative benefits of integrating arts into the hospital environment.

e Wesley Players ready to stage ‘Les Miserables’ Highlands Ranch church troupe raising funds for spiritual center By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com In Highlands Ranch, St. Luke’s Wesley Players, active since 2000, have raised nearly $250,000 for local and international organizations while giving community actors, singers and musicians opportunities to perform in classic musical entertainments. The 2015 choice, “Les Miserables,” is an international favorite, seen by more than 65 million people, according to the St. Luke’s publicist. With a memorable score, and uplifting story about Jean Valjean’s struggle for redemption, the musical provides a theme for Lenten worship: “When Tomorrow Comes,” which “highlights Vic-
tor Hugo’s theological themes of grace, sacrifice and hope in Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem, Calvary and Easter,” said James Ramsey, director of music and arts ministries at the church — who is directing this production with almost 60 in the cast. On Ash Wednesday, cast and chorus members performed a preview at the service. Readers will be familiar with Hugo’s 19th-century French story of Jean Valjean, released from unjust imprisonment for stealing a loaf of bread and pursued by police inspector Javert, who believes he is guilty. Valjean finds redemption and love, adopts a daughter, becomes involved with the Paris student uprising of 1832 and ultimately spares Javert’s life … The score is stirring and familiar, as are the songs, with music by Claude-Michel Shonberg; French lyrics by Alan Boublil and Jean Mark Rald; English libretto by Hebert Kretzer. Ramsey said: “Epic, grand and

Arvada School House Kitchen opens
School’s never out at School House Kitchen & Libations, a new whiskey bar and eatery at 5660 Olde Wadsworth Blvd., in the heart of historic Olde Town Arvada. The restaurant, which opened in February, serves lunch and dinner seven days a week. The building dates back to 1882 as the original Arvada schoolhouse. Owner Scott Spears also owns Scrumptious, an ice cream parlor around the corner.

Pagliacci space redeveloped
The 33rd Avenue and Navajo Street piece of land that used to house Pagliacci’s, a longtime Denver eatery, will be redeveloped as Lumina, a 70,000-square-foot mixed-use development in the Lower Highlands neighborhood, according to a story in The Denver Business Journal. The first occupants will take up residence on March 1. Lumina, a 70,000-square-foot mixed-use development in Denver’s Lower Highlands neighborhood, will get its first occupants March 1 on a site well-known to longtime Denverites. The site used to be home to Pagliacci’s, which closed in 2012 after 66 years in business. The building was sold and torn down to make way for the Lumina project. Lumina includes 6,000 square feet of retail space and 61 apartments that range in size from 550 to 1,250 square feet, The Business Journal story said. The old Pagliacci’s sign has been converted into a garden box inside the lobby.

Regis ends Heritage’s hockey season Raiders move on to the final four By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Regis bested Heritage 8-0 in a Feb. 27 first-round playoff loss that eliminated the Eagles from contention for the state ice hockey championship. “This was a tough one tonight,” Eagles coach Jeremy Sims said after the game. “We are a better team than we were on the ice tonight. I think part of it is we are a young team, and, at times we have shown up ready to play this season. We did it tonight. We didn’t come to the area ready to play our best hockey and Regis obviously did.” The loss means Heritage concludes the season with a 10-9 record. This is the second year they have made it into the state playoffs and the second year they have been eliminated in the first round. There are only two seniors on this year’s roster so the coach expects there will be a good group of returning lettermen next season, Sims said. “We close out this year with our banquet,” Sims said. “Then we start planning for the summer program. We talk to the kids on this year’s team to see if they are committed to play with us in the summer league. We hope to build the fall program so the Eagles are ready to go into the high school season.” Heritage is a consolidated team like many league members. A consolidated team is a squad made up of players from schools throughout the district. For example, the Eagles’ roster is made up of players from the three district high schools. This season there were five players from Arapahoe, two players from Littleton and 16 from Heritage. The Eagles played well enough this season to earn a spot in the 16-team state ice hockey playoffs. Teams are seeded and the schedule had the Eagles playing undefeated Regis, the team ranked No. 1 in the state. Regis took control of the game early and scored three goals in the first period and went on to win the game, 8-0. The Regis attack was persistent as they took a total of 45 shots on goal; Heritage goalie Andrew Nash was able to catch or deSeason continues on Page 20

Creek girls advance to Great 8 Bruins use big first-period run to get past Chaparral By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Molly Rohrer has the ability of coming through with big plays for Cherry Creek’s girls basketball team, but the Bruins have other players who step up. One of those players is Brittanee Bivins who came through in a big way during the second quarter as Creek breezed to a 5127 second round Class 5A state playoff win over Chaparral Feb. 27 in the Bruins’ gym. Creek (18-7 ) beat Grand Junction (186) 58-54 in a Sweet 16 game on March 3 to advance to the Great 8 against Highlands Ranch. The Wolverines saw their season end with a 12-13 record. Rohrer, a 6-foot-1 senior who averages a double-double in scoring and rebounding, was saddled with two fouls and sat out most of the second period. Bivins, who alternates as one of six Bruins who start, came off the bench and scored nine points in the second period to help Creek frolic to an 18-point halftime lead. “In the second quarter, I felt I could have done better, but my team picked it up,” said Bivins. “When Molly’s not in, somebody has to be there to step up and be ready.”
Get it online To follow all the state basketball action and see updated brackets, go to www.coloradocommunitymedia. com/2015statebasketball.html Rohrer scored seven of her 13 points in the first quarter. Bivens, a 5-10 junior, finished with 11 points and sophomore Laura Pranger added 10 points “Chaparral was a good test,” said Creek coach Chris Curneen. “They are from a great league (Continental), and Tony (Speights) is a great coach. “We have five or six kids that have that ability to step up. Whichever one comes in usually gives us a big lift. It was Brittanee against Chaparral, and she did a real good job.” Creek went on a 16-0 run and turned a 3-1 deficit into a 17-3 lead early in the second period. “We can do that,” said Curneen. “We’re very long. It’s hard to shoot over us. If we’re doing what we are supposed to do it makes it tough on people to shoot. We get a lot of tips and deflections.” The Bruins, who held Chaparral to 22.7 percent shooting from the field, boast plenty of height. Rohrer, Pranger and Lauren McMillen are 6-1 and a fourth starter, Sydney Mech, is

The Bruins have three players coming off the bench who are 5-11, and Bivins is 5-10. Rohrer is the only senior starter. Counting Bivins as a rotating starter, the Bruins have three sophomores, a freshman, a ju-
nior and a senior as starters. “It was hard,” said Speights. “They are long. We knew what we were up against, but we thought we could knock down some shots. We didn’t do a real good job of shooting the ball. We just couldn’t score.”

Monarch, however, has ousted the Raiders the past two seasons in the semifinals. Regis tailored its schedule to play elite teams at the end of the regular season to get ready for the playoffs. “We tried to end our season against good teams,” said Regis coach Dan Woodley. “We had Cherry Creek and Ralston Valley and Mountain Vista, which we didn’t get to play, with the express intention of developing our game to a higher level. Right now we’re doing a good job of peaking.” Andre Dugas, Jack Kilkenny and Chuck Spencer each scored two goals against the Eagles and Sam Gartner made four saves in recording the shutout. Both Regis and Monarch will have incentive heading into their semifinal game. Monarch beat Regis 2-1 and 5-2 to advance the past two seasons into the state title games.
