Completion of most of the construction cleared the way for moving all Englewood High School, Englewood Middle School and Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School classrooms to new locations. “This is a special time for our school district,” Superintendent Brian Ewert said. “When students return from winter break, the high school and middle school will be in the new seventh- through 12th-grade campus. At the same time, Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School classrooms will now be in the former Englewood Middle School building that has undergone a major makeover.” The new campus is on the former Englewood High campus at 3800 S. Logan St. The first phase included demolition of the buildings on the north side of the high school to make way for the new wing on that side of the site. Over the Thanksgiving break in 2013, Englewood High School classrooms were moved to classrooms in the new wing. Preparations for the move began in early December as empty boxes were delivered so teachers could begin packing the items to be moved to the new classrooms. The directions were to clearly mark the boxes so the movers could get them to the right location. Instruction should be familiar to the high school and middle school teachers because there have been previous moves. When the middle school wing on the new campus was completed last year, high school teachers moved from the old building to the new wing and, at the middle school, teachers shifted classrooms around while the building was renovated to accommodate the alternative high school. Crews began work Dec. 29 on the latest move. The high school classrooms were moved to the recently completed wing of the new campus. The next step was to move the middle school at 300 W. Chenango Ave. into the wing of the new campus formerly occupied by the high school. The final phase will be moving the Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School classrooms from 2323 W. Baker Ave., where it had been for almost 30 years, to the former middle school on West Chenango Avenue that had undergone major renovation. “This is a huge change for our school,” said Ginger Rode, CFAHS teacher. “We now have facilities, like an audio production studio, auditorium and real gymnasium. We also now have state-of-the-art classrooms and no longer have to share classrooms.”

Theresa Kropp, high school bookkeeper, moves her items into her office located in the newly constructed high school wing of the seventh- through 12th-grade campus. The campus construction is basically completed so everything was ready when middleand high-school students returned from winter break Jan. 7. She said all classrooms now have windows and natural light plus the school maintained its open feel with windows looking out into the hall. Teachers began unpacking and setting up classrooms on Jan. 5. “The new classroom is great,” said Scott Wallace, middle school teacher. “I have the STEM lab and I think it is one of the most technolog-
ically-advanced classrooms in the state. In addition to state-of-the-art computers, we have new software and kits so students can create robots and explore alternative energy sources.” Other middle school teachers said the new facilities were awesome. Doug Lammers said his new science classroom is larger, wellequipped and there are windows, a big plus for any classroom.
Vandal sentenced to prison Judge hands down three-year sentence to Anthony Meany for school incident By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood resident Anthony Ryan Meany was sentenced to serve three years behind bars for his part in vandalizing Englewood High School in January 2014. On Oct. 24, 2014, Meany had entered a guilty plea to second-degree burglary and seconddegree arson. The three year sentence was part of a plea agreement and was handed down by 18th Judicial District Judge Christopher Cross. The judge ordered deputies to take Meany into custody and transfer him to the Department of Corrections to begin serving his sentence. On Oct. 24, after he had entered a guilty plea, the 26-year-old Meany said he is sorry about the vandalism at Englewood High School.
“I am sorry about all of this. I wish it had never happened,” he said outside the courtroom after his hearing. “The real culprit that night was alcohol. Three young men’s lives were damaged because, under the influence of alcohol, they did something so stupid.” When Meany entered his guilty plea Oct. 24, Judge Cross told the Englewood man his guilty plea means he could face time in jail. “The other two defendants in this case got lighter sentencMeany es, and we try to treat everyone the same,” the judge said. “But your background is different because of your prior record, so your sentence will probably be more severe.” Reportedly, Meany was said to have greater involvement and was the ringleader of the vandalism. He also had a prior burglary charge for burglarizing a church in Arapahoe County. Meany, Chad Delgadillo and Michael Trickel
were the defendants in the Jan. 12, 2014, vandalism at Englewood High School. Delgadillo and Trickel previously entered guilty pleas. Both men were sentenced to five years probation, 1,000 hours of public service and to contribute to repaying the cost of restoration of $201,366.49. The trio broke into Englewood High School in the early morning hours of Jan. 12, 2014. They smashed windows and set small fires. The fires triggered the sprinkler system which did extensive damage to the school facilities. Englewood Police investigation found a number of videos tying the three men to the crime. They also found a cell phone near the campus with photos showing Delgadillo and Trickle staring fires in the band room. They also took pictures of themselves setting fire to an American flag. The phone was traced to Delgadillo. When arrested and questioned, Delgadillo admitted he and the other two men did the vandalism to the school. Officers then arrested Trickle and Meany.

Historic restoration planned New IOOF building owners want to preserve its history By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Restoring the Odd Fellow’s building in the 3400 block of South Broadway is the goal of its new owners. “We are dedicated to preserving history. We did historic restoration on a building in Arvada and spent more than a year looking for our next project before deciding on the Odd Fellow’s building,” said Steve Howards, spokesman for the new owners. “It is rare to find a building like this one that hasn’t been modified so much that restoration isn’t possible.” The Golden resident said his family and the Greenberg family purchased the building. It was a cordial transaction between the new owners and the company that owned the building, he said. The Fedders family had significant interest in the company that previously owned the building. “We are drawing up the plans for the project,” Howards said. “We want to do the restoration, do it right and make it an accent for historic downtown Englewood.” Randy Penn, Englewood mayor, said he is excited about the plans for the buildings. “The new owners have done excellent

The IOOF traces the its history to the 17th century when groups of people in Europe joined together to help needy people. The name came from comments it was odd to find fellows organizing to help others and states its purpose is to, “improve and elevate the character of man.” It was 1819 when IOOF came to the United States, when it established in Boston. The organization also became the first fraternity to include women with establishment of the Rebekehs.

restorations in Arvada that brought new businesses to that community,” he said. “We expect this project will bring a new energy and appearance to South Broadway.” The city’s community development department is trying to assist in finding new locations in Englewood for the four tenants that will be displaced by the restoration, Penn said. The South Broadway building was constructed in the 1920s as the lodge of the International Order of Odd Fellows. In the 1920s, the ground floor was leased to businesses like Englewood Hardware and Buy Less Drugs while the upper floors and basement were used by the organization. The restoration proposal is to still have retail businesses on the ground floor and to turn the second floor into offices. Howards
for historic downtown Englewood.’ Steve Howards, spokesman said there are no plans as yet to restore the third floor or the basement. Howards said his wife is a historic architect, and plans are to begin restoration on the second floor so it will be pretty much as it was in the 1920s. “We will start work the end of January, and we plan to begin work on the second floor,” he said. “The second floor ballroom is an amazing example of bow-truss ceiling architecture that creates a high ceiling in a large room without columns or pillars. We also will be restoring the offices on the second floor.” It is rare to find an area like the large ballroom, he said, and the new owners hope to find a tenant that can locate in the large open area without the need to change the overall character of the former ballroom Restoration on the ground floor will start in April, he said, which means the two ten-
ants on the south end of the building, Outdoorsman’s Atti and Colorado Leather and Furs, will be asked to leave by March. The roof needs to be replaced, but that will be done in the spring when the weather is better, he said. There are also plans to remove all the modern facades on the front of the building so it looked like it did in the 1920s. The new owners also are going through all the items stored in the classrooms in the basement. Many of the items were related to the Odd Fellows ceremonies, but there are also boxes of letters and other papers. “There are four businesses on the ground floor,” Howards said. “Unfortunately they can’t remain there while the restoration is going on. We are putting a lot of money into this project, and I am afraid the rents may be such that they may not want to come back once the project is completed.”

Cherry Creek meeting
Two meetings are scheduled about the Omaha District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers safety modification study and environmental impact statement concerning the Cherry Creek Dam. A meeting is scheduled at 6 p.m. Jan. 22 at Cherry Creek High School Lecture Center, 9300 E. Union Ave. in Greenwood Village and at 10 a.m. Jan. 24 at Campus Middle School cafeteria, 4785 S.

The study is designed to determine appropriate Federal actions to remediate dam safety concerns at Cherry Creek Dam. USACE engineers will be considering possible structural and non-structural measures to address the risk drivers face at Cherry Creek Dam. Cherry Creek Dam received an elevated risk rating primarily because of the dam’s large downstream population and the potential for overtopping or seepage issues during an extremely rare precipitation event.

Hickenlooper seeks help for long-term unemployed Initiative aims to help those who have been without a job for at least 26 weeks 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. The federal funding will go for job or interview training, counseling and internships for the long-term 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 longterm 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 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
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. Photo by Associated press 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.”
TriCity charter school appeal upheld Decision requires Englewood, Sheridan districts to review organization’s applications By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The Colorado Board of Education voted 5-2 to uphold the TriCity Academy’s appeal of Englewood’s denial of its application to establish a charter school in the community.
State board members rendered their decision following the Jan. 7 appeals hearing. Rick Gillit, charter school applicant, said he was pleased by the board’s decision. “The board supported our position,” he said after the hearing. “We know both school boards will again review our applications. I understand it is rare that a school board will again deny a charter after the state board upholds an appeal.” The academy submitted the application to establish a charter school in both school districts, he said. The academy would prefer to locate the school in Englewood, but, regardless of where the school is located,
he expects it to primarily serve Englewood, Sheridan and Littleton, he said. Englewood School Superintendent Brian Ewert said the school board will follow the rules. “We will again consider the TriCity Academy applications,” he said. “We are not against charter schools, we are not against choice, but we are about school quality so that is a measure in our decision.” The procedure following the appeal is spelled out by the state board of education, he said. It sets the time requirements for the school board to reconsider the application. Once the district receives the written notifi-
cation of the state board’s appeal decision, it will set dates to reconsider the academy application, Ewert said. The academy had submitted charter school applications to Englewood and Sheridan school districts. The school board for each district did not approve the application, and the academy appealed both decisions. In a morning session Jan. 7, the state board of education voted 4-3 to reject Sheridan’s decision. The board’s decisions means the Englewood and Sheridan school boards will have to reconsider their rejections of the academy charter application.

Influenza-like-illness (ILI) has been over baseline for the past ngleseveral weeks, virological surveillance shows a lot of flu is circulating, and the hospitalization surveillance syshave tem shows increasing hospitalizations rates, especially in people 65 years and older. acadAlso, the surveillance system that tracks mortality shows that the country is in the midst of this season’s flu epidemic.
d
IS IT AN EPIDEMIC?
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 Influenza 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. “H3N2-predominant 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 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. “We’re in the middle of it,” Davidson said. “There’s several weeks of flu left.”

Restaurant sports Broncos mural C Owners commission artwork on north wall By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Deb and Jerry Sturm, owners of the South Restaurant in Englewood, took their love of the Broncos to a higher level by having a huge Bronco mural painted on the north wall of the building. “Jerry and I love the Broncos,” Deb Sturm said. “We have a lot of Bronco items inside, and we have talked about a possible mural on the outside wall.” Deb Sturm saw a sports mural downtown and contacted the artists. “I wanted the mural to reflect the Broncos past and present,” she said. “I talked with artist Robin Munro, sent him a concept, he made a few suggestions and I felt the final design was just what I wanted the mural to be.” Jerry Sturm’s pro football career is documented in the displays and photos on the walls of the restaurant. In the pro ranks, Sturm played for the Broncos from 196167, was traded to Oakland, didn’t reach a contract agreement, but was picked up by New Orleans in the initial year of the franchise. A South customer for quite a
few years, Phil Barnum knows Jerry and the Sturm’s love of the Broncos, so the mural didn’t surprise him. “I think the mural is great,” the Lakewood man said. “It is very well done. I think it is great they included the helmet history, plus the design spans the years. I think it is a tribute to what the Broncos mean to the whole metro area.” Munro, a veteran mural artist with Colorado Crush, said he had done other Bronco murals so the work at the South Restaurant wasn’t new to him. “The wall gave us a large, open space to work,” he said. “We took some photos of the wall, did a mock up to scale and went to work.” The actual painting was done free hand. “The mural was all done using a special aerosol canned spray paint,” the artist said. “It is not the easiest task in the world, and you do a little section, get down off the scaffold and step back to see how that section looks and if it is the proper proportion for the entire art work.” He said they had good weather during the project, and it took about three days to complete the mural. The mural is the final work outside, but Deb Sturm said changes inside the restaurant will further

CU, Jabs simplify art of starting business Center for Entrepreneurship opens at CU South Denver By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com
Jake Jabs would have seized the opportunity to draw from Denver’s deep pool of entrepreneurial talent. Most Coloradans know him as the successful, tiger-loving pitchman and founder of American Furniture Warehouse. But before his face and distinctive voice made their way onto our television sets, Jabs navigated a world unknown to him. For years, he struggled to avoid the common pitfalls that can derail a fledgling business. “Everything was by the seat of my pants, and I made a lot of mistakes,” Jabs says. Things have come full circle, and the University of Colorado’s Center for Entrepreneurship now has Jabs’ name attached to it. He donated $10 million to the school, primarily because he wanted to give Denver’s ever-growing contingent of entrepreneurs a chance to bypass those headaches. And because there is an inherent willingness among seasoned entrepreneurs to assist their business-green brethren, Jabs and CU are putting the pieces in place this spring to breed success. Known as the Launchpad, the program is intended to help entrepreneurs either ls to start their own business or improve an exs pro isting business. “I’m a big believer in entrepreneurship,” Jabs said. “It’s driving America — new ideas and new programs, how to do things better.” By offering entrepreneurship classes at CU’s new facility at The Wildlife Experience, on the southwest corner of Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street, the south metro area is about to become a wellspring for professional talent, churning out gleaming examples of what can happen with a little bit of guidance.
CU is partnering with community colleges to bring in students who have considered pursuing a full degree but don’t have the necessary time or money. By taking just a few eight-week courses on their own schedule, students can earn a certificate of entrepreneurship from CU, bolstering their traditional education with the knowledge of how to start a business. The idea is to send them out into the world well-equipped to face any challenge. “We teach them the basic skills of business: accounting and balancing a budget and how to borrow money, how to make ends meet and live within your means,” Jabs said. Classes count toward a bachelor’s degree for anyJabs one interested in continuing their education. While the instruction is meant to be allencompassing, there are some things that can’t be taught in a classroom. Local business leaders act as both professor and mentor, helping individual students find their path. The director of the Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship, Madhavan Parthasarathy, Ph.D., who goes by MP, said the close relationships provide students with an “experiential connection, and they need that almost as much as academics.” “The academic education will help them write a business plan, but they have to know where to pitch the business plan, and if a venture capitalist asked them how they’re going to market it, they will have an answer,” he said. The advisory council that oversees CU’s business school is composed of an all-star team of industry leaders, and with their various connections, there is a seemingly endless store of resources. More than 100 of them are tapped to review student business plans during an annual contest that provides the winner with $50,000 worth of services to start their company. Students get real feedback on what needs improve-
“I’m a big believer in entrepreneurship. It’s driving America — new ideas and new programs, how to do things better.” Jake Jabs
ment and what will work in their favor. The result is a symbiotic relationship that could portend the future of business incubation in the state. It’s not only “very fulfilling to see young people succeed,” but the business leaders also keep a sharp eye out for talent, MP said. “They’re hoping (the Launchpad program) succeeds so well that they can hire people from it,” he said. “Some are investors themselves, and they’re looking to get
in early on a good investment. If they see a great idea, they could try to get in and fund the idea.” There is optimism that Launchpad will create a positive cycle for years to come: Jabs says he hopes that students who benefit from the program will return in 10-20 years to offer their expertise to a new generation.

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 short-term 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 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. If China can manage a “soft” landing and churn out 7 percent GDP and grow from that, all trading partners will be happy. If the United 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-of-the-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-of-the-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 C-plus 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 ex-

pansion of public transit in the Denver metro area or building the Arkansas Valley Conduit. We are working with Tennessee Republican 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 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.

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 the state and county departments. What do you believe should be the top priority 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.

Sex-assault suspect set for arraignment Weber’s bond holds steady at $250,000 By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com At the Jan. 6 preliminary hearing for a Littleton man suspected of sexually assaulting a child, 18th Judicial District Magistrate Frank Moschetti Weber ordered the bond to remain at $250,000 and set arraignment for Feb. 23. Robert Dustin Weber was brought to the courtroom from the Arapahoe County jail for the preliminary hearing,and the magistrate ordered that he remain in jail until he posts the bond or is required to return to court for his next hearing. Police arrested Weber on Nov. 21 for allegedly sexually assaulting a child in the Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in Englewood. Weber, 43, who is a registered sex offendWeber er, faces charges of sexual assault on a child, a class 4 felony, and violation of a protection order, a class 1 misdemeanor. Reportedly, Weber took his young daughter to Chuck E. Cheese’s on Nov. 20, where he made friends with a man who was the father of a 3-year-old girl. The arrest affidavit states that Weber, his daughter and the 3-year-old went inside the tubular play equipment twice where they were out of the view of the girl’s father. Later, the man’s daughter told her father that Weber had her perform sex acts on him while they were in the tubular play equipment. According to the arrest affidavit, when Englewood detectives went to interview Weber at his house in Littleton the suspect admitted a protection order had been issued prohibiting him from contact with anyone under the age of 18. The affidavit also stated Weber admitted he violated the protection order by taking his daughter to Chuck E. Cheese’s.

Legislature opens with focus on pocketbooks Talk is bipartisan, but reality may differ By Ivan Moreno and Kristen Wyatt 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. The rebates might not be for large sums,

Photos by Associated Press but “Republicans believe that the people can spend their money better than government can,’’ DelGrosso said. He also said Republicans want to chip away at a 2013 law that strengthened renewable energy requirements for rural electricity providers. “Republicans support renewable energy,’’ he said. “But we do not support stifling our economy and killing jobs to pursue an unrealistic agenda.’’ In the Senate, Democratic Leader Morgan Carroll talked about raising the minimum wage from its current $8.23 an hour, plus capping student loan debt and public tuition hikes. “What’s right, what’s just, is an economy that works for everyone,’’ Carroll said, “not just a few at the top.’’

Mile High Academy moves to Highlands Ranch Christian school established 100 years ago to open in August By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.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. It is in the process of buying the old DC property. 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

Chamber hosts immigration forum 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

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.”
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 enNoorani trepreneurs looking to invest in Colorado. The uncertainty created by the 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, 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 enforcement 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.
The new school will be a great addition to the community, because it has the caliber of academic excellence this area expects, 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 partner 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. We’re like a family here,” she said. “Highlands Ranch shares the family values that Mile High has.”

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 Public Schools District Art Show from Jan. 21 through Feb. 10. “We have about 160 pieces of artwork in the show of all types, 2D and 3D, painting to drawing, jewelry, ceramics and sculpture,” said Anna Spillen, art teacher at Options High School. Spillen points to research compiled by the Online College website to support the idea that art has a positive effect on learning. But a 2009 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 percent to music education. “Middle-school students across the nation haven’t seen an increase in access to music and visual arts education, and their understanding of its tenets remains low — especially in certain disenfranchised socioeconomic and racial groups,” reads the website. “Many believe the numbers are even worse today, as the survey was conducted prior to the economic woes that have paralyzed many schools systems in recent years.” But in LPS, all students from kindergartners on up to seniors have the opportunity to participate in the annual art show. Every visual arts teacher in LPS chooses up to five pieces of artwork created by their students to put in the show, which is judged by the ACC gallery staff. Winners will be announced about a week after the show begins. Admission is free and open to the public 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. The Colorado Gallery of the Arts is on the first floor of the ACC Annex building at 5900 S. 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

Rutledge book is good read for snowy days

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 The cover of “A Fine Summer’s Day,” a new imaginative crime-solv- mystery in the Inspector Rutledge Series ing skills. And the settings by Charles Todd. Courtesy photo 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.

“A Photographic History of Colorado,” with text by John English and historic photographs he has collected from the Library of Congress and elsewhere is newly published. Courtesy photo
Photo book explores Colorado history Writer gathered images from variety of sources By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Writer John English has spent untold hours gathering historic photographs of the West from the Library of Congress and museums all across the country, and his newly published “A History of Colorado in Photographs” includes several this reader had not seen before, both portraits and scenes of life in towns, on farms and reservations, combined with a text that includes solid history and interesting side notes. For example, he talks about the Long Walk that the Navajos were forced to make to a new reservation at Fort Sumner in New Mexico. “The death toll was somewhere between 236 and 2,000 people (depending on who is recounting the story),” he notes, following a passage about Kit Carson’s slashand-burn defeat of the Navajos. Page 83 talks of a visit by British writer and theatrical personality Oscar Wilde, who visited Leadville in 1882 and the Matchless Mine — as well as Denver. “The first course
was whiskey,” he said. “The second course was whiskey …” At the same time there was a strong earthquake along the Front Range and the federal Chinese Exclusion Act was passed and signed into law by President Chester Arthur. (Denver’s Chinatown, centered around 20th and Market, was home to more than 1,000 people at its peak.) Photos of early railroads abound, as well as cowboys at work, early tourist attractions, diverse Native American cultures, miners, politicians and sugar-beet farmers. Each photo is its own story and the collection is rich. English said in a letter about his book: “Deciding where to focus and what to include was a challenge … There were 160 centuries of Native settlement and in relative terms, just a very brief period of European influence.” He talks about his voyages of discovery as he tracked trends and families through hundreds of images — primarily between the Civil War and World War II. English’s work has appeared in more than two dozen books and 1,000 magazine articles. He lives at the northern tip of the Black Hills and has written about that area as well as about cowboys. This new book should be available in stores soon. For information: thecoloradobook.com.

His gift for songwriting has been evident in some of the most moving songs from Peter, Paul & Mary, including “Puff, the Magic Dragon,” “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

Pirates swimmers take eighth Englewood co-hosts Intrastate 11 swim meet at Aurora Central By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood’s swim team with its small roster fit in with the other teams as the Pirates joined Aurora Central in hosting the Jan. 10 Intrastate 11 swim meet. “The Intrastate 8 swimming meet at the Englewood High School pool was a long standing tradition. But Englewood no longer has a pool, so this year, we helped Aurora Central host what has become the Intrastate 12 at their pool,” Pirates coach Tracey Lonn said during the meet. “This is like an invitational, but it is low key and the idea is for everyone to have fun and enjoy the experience.” The Englewood team is always on the road as they swim against teams in the 11-team Northern League since their school no longer has a pool. The Pirates traveled to the Centennial Pool in Longmont on Jan. 15 to swim against league opponents Longmont and Northridge. On Jan. 23, Englewood travels to Louisville for a three-team meet against league teams Centaurus and Northridge. There are 10 swimmers on the Pirate roster this season. “About half our team is seniors, and all our girls are doing pretty well,” Lonn said. “The good thing is all our girls can swim just about every event. So we can move them around to different events. Along the same line, we are still shifting swimmers around as we look for the best combination for our relay teams.” Eleven teams competed in the Jan. 10 Intrastate meet. The Aurora Central pool has six lanes so a team was limited to one entry in each of the events where each event was divided into two heats. Awards ceremonies were held for each event. Ribbons were awarded for first through 12th place with the athletes
facing family and friends in the stands. 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,” Sarah Ferris, Aurora Central coach, said. “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 every girl receives a ribbon for her performance.” Kent Denver won a number of events and won the team title with 192 points, edging Heritage by a single point. Englewood finished eighth with 64 points. Two swimmers posted the best finishes for the Pirates as Shawna Eldridge was seventh in the 100-yard breaststroke and Marissa Johnson was seventh in the 100-yard backstroke. Senior Alize Galvin said it is natural she likes swimming since she loved to swim so much as a little girl they called her a fish. “I also play volleyball, soccer and I’m thinking about taking up tennis,” she said. “I was a sophomore when I decided to try being part of the swimming team, I loved it and I am still competing with our team.” She said her best event is the sprint freestyle events. “I swim the 50- and the 100-yard freestyle events but I like the 50 best because it is fast,” Galvin said. “Earlier this season, my best time in the 50 freestyle was more than minute. I set a new personal best for the event in a meet in December when I dropped my best time by about 30 seconds.” She said she isn’t sure how she cut that much time, but it probably was because of the fact she is very competitive. “I was swimming the event and I saw the girl in the next lane was passing me,” she said. “I didn’t want her to pass me so I just kept going faster and faster, which helped me drop 30 seconds off my personal best time.”
Englewood’s Izzy Montanez warms up in preparation for competition in the Jan. 10 Intrastate 11 swimming meet. Montanez and her teammates earned 64 points as the Pirates finished eighth in the team standings.
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.”

In this image released by Warner Bros. Pictures, Bradley Cooper appears in a scene from “American Sniper.” Associated Press
Quintessential Eastwood
Protagonist in ‘American Sniper’ is like weary hero of Westerns By Jake Coyle
Associated Press A mere six months after releasing the Four Seasons drama “Jersey Boys,’’ Clint Eastwood has again lapped his younger directing colleagues with his second film of 2014 and his best movie in years. “American Sniper’’ is quintessentially Eastwood: a tautly made, confidently constructed examination of the themes that have long dominated his work. “American Sniper,’’ based on Navy SEAL marksman Chris Kyle’s best-selling memoir, is both a tribute to the warrior and a lament for war. Shirking politics, the film instead sets its sights squarely on its elite protagonist (Bradley Cooper), a traditional American war hero in an untraditional war. Here is an archetypal American: a chewspitting, beer-drinking Texas cowboy who enlists after the 1998 bombings of Ameri-
can embassies with resolute righteousness and noble patriotic duty. The once wayward Kyle finds his true calling in the Navy, and he heads to Iraq with a moral certainty that no amount of time served or kills will shake. He’s there to kill bad guys — “savages’’ he calls them at one point. And kill he does. With 160 confirmed kills, Kyle is believed to be the most lethal sniper in U.S. history. The film starts with a remarkable scene of Kyle poised on an Iraq rooftop with a young boy holding a grenade in his scope. Eastwood and screenwriter Jason Hall flash back to Kyle’s upbringing, where his father taught him about “the gift of aggression’’ and the honor of defending others. It’s the first of many cuts between faraway battle and the personal life Kyle leaves behind. Shortly before shipping out, he weds Taya, played by Sienna Miller, who gives a refreshingly lively take on a usually one-dimensional character. She’s more cynical than her husband, who returns to their growing family between tours, his head increasingly stuck in Iraq. He’s much like a terse and weary Western hero torn from home; an early shot through
the front door of their home evokes the famous final image of John Ford’s “The Searchers.’’ Instead of a Stetson, Kyle wears a baseball cap, turned backward when he takes aim. “I’m better when it’s breathing,’’ he tells an early instructor after shooting a snake. Cooper is extraordinary as Kyle. He has beefed up, adopted an authentic Texas drawl and endowed Kyle with a commanding swagger. The war steadily takes its toll on his psyche, even if he’d never admit it. When Kyle’s younger brother, passing him on a tarmac in Iraq, curses the war, Kyle looks him at with genuine befuddlement. Eastwood has, of course, long been drawn to stories about violence — necessary if regrettable — in meting out justice and the cost to those that carry its heavy burden. The question is if the mythical rending of “American Sniper’’ fits its more complex basis of reality. Kyle, who died tragically in early 2013, belies easy summary. He, for one, boasted of shooting looters in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. His clarity of mission could also be said to mirror the mistaken convictions of politicians that put him in Iraq. But I believe Eastwood’s purpose here is

ABOUT THE MOVIE “American Sniper,’’ a Warner Bros. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “strong and disturbing war violence, and language throughout including some sexual references.’’ Running time: 124 minutes. Three stars out of four. to depict a straight arrow in the fog of a questionable war. (A pivotal late scene takes place in a gathering sandstorm that obliterates the frame in clouds of dust.) The soldier is true; the war — confused, bureaucratic — isn’t. The film’s narrow perspective, centered on Kyle, is both the best and worst thing about it. “American Sniper’’ may be a much needed tribute to the sacrifice of American soldiers, but it’s lacking context. Few Iraqis here are seen as anything but the enemy. When Eastwood delved into World War II in “Flags of Our Fathers,’’ his switch to the other side of the battlefield for “Letters From Iwo Jima’’ remains one of the most profound moral decisions in moviemaking. As fine as “American Sniper’’ is, it’s in need of a companion piece.
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.

GALLERY OF GAMES
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.

Longtime doctor loved to garden Johnson, a fixture in Littleton, dies at 92 By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Longtime pediatrician and Littleton resident Robert Reed Johnson, who was born on Christmas Day 1921, died on Dec. 19, 2014, at age 92. Reed, as he was known, was the son of Julius and Grace Reed Johnson. He grew up on the family’s Shadycroft Farm, on the south edge of Littleton along the High Line Canal. His grandfather, Herbert Johnson, had bought the farm around the turn of the century, and Reed Johnson’s mother had named it. As a boy, Johnson worked on farm chores and spent time with his horse and beloved dog, Rab, roaming the fields. His lifelong love of nature was born then. Johnson attended the University of Colorado at Boulder and its medical school and married Dorothea Moreland Johnson, known as “Tee,” who survives him. He served as a medical officer in the Navy in the Pacific during and after World War II. His children, Randy, Pamela and Brad, recall a pediatrician/father who practiced for 40 years in the south Denver area at a time when doctors made house calls. The family moved back to Littleton from Denver in 1956. The three children remember that he had Wednesdays, every other weekend and every other Christmas off. He would come home from work about 8 p.m., have dinner — and then the phone would often ring and he’d pick up his black bag and be out the door to visit a sick child. Sometimes, Johnson was paid in produce: eggs, vegetables and an occasional chicken. Sometimes he received pets as gifts, including “a crazy pigeon called

Snookie and a wonderful dog named Skilos.” Johnson “loved the soil of the earth and never wore gloves while gardening,” in the recounting of his children. He created five acres of gardens around the home and won the National Victory Gardens Award in 1992. His children were able to spend weekend time with him by hauling water and helping with planting. The love of gardening extended to a garden spot on the west side of the Littleton Museum, which he designed and planted with carefully arranged native plants. In retirement, Johnson satisfied a love of writing by creating a historical novel, “A Thread of Gold.” He and Tee traveled throughout Colorado and New Mexico researching the story of three pairs of brothers, who lived in the 17th, 18th and 19th
