Widening to worsen C-470 noise Meetings aim to inform about sound levels By Chris Michlewicz

The thrill of the hill Fresh snow and the Presidents Day holiday made the sledding hill at Acres Green’s Lonesome Pine Park a hot spot for local school kids Feb. 16. The park across from Acres Green Elementary is managed by South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, and with its long, relatively steep and treeless hill, has long been one of the most popular sledding sites in the area.

City adopts construction-defects rules Protesters and critics don’t sway council from unanimous vote By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com The Lone Tree City Council unanimously passed an ordinance Feb. 17 to change the process of resolving condominium construction defects and cut back on litigation, with the ultimate goal of inspiring more condo development. They were unpersuaded by testimony from several critics, most of them attorneys, or the presence of approximately 30 protesters who lined the sidewalk outside the Lone Tree Civic Center before the meeting. Opponents said the city’s new requirements give too much power to developers and take away too many homeowner rights. Some said the current process, while timeconsuming, ultimately works. And others said the market will

About 30 people protested Lone Tree’s construction defects ordinance before a Feb. 17 city council meeting at the Civic Center on Lone Tree Parkway. Photo by Jane Reuter eventually correct the housing imbalance. But council members, citing statistics that show a sharp drop in condo construction, said they want to ensure a balanced housing mix in the city. Without change, they believe construction defects laws could alter the vision for Lone Tree’s as-yet undeveloped east

side. “In the last three years, we’ve had 733 rental units built and zero condos,” Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet said. “Removing that rung from the homeownership ladder has really done harm in our community. The rental rates in Douglas County are pretty astronomical.

“I would love my children someday to be able to live in a house in Lone Tree. If we do not have condos, and with the laws the way they are, I don’t see that happening.” A 2005 state law is blamed for creating today’s litigious environment and discouragingly high insurance premiums for condo developers. Lone Tree is among the first municipalities in Colorado to try to resolve the issue. Its new requirements give developers a chance to repair a defect before a lawsuit is filed, and ensure all homeowners in a complex — not just the HOA board — are aware of what’s happening. The ordinance takes effect April 1. Lakewood passed a similar measure in October 2014. The Town of Parker also added a provision in late 2014 intended to resolve such issues outside a courtroom. State efforts to do so have so far fallen flat, though a construction-defects reform bill City continues on Page 9

With a growing population comes more traffic, and with that comes lane expansions and added noise. The Colorado Department of Transportation had two open houses at the Highlands Ranch Metro District headquarters Feb. 10 and 11 to present its analysis of traffic noise generated by C-470, which is being widened by two and, in some places, three toll lanes starting in 2016. CDOT researched noise levels during “worst-case scenario” travel hours and peak traffic times, and projected what those numbers will be when the entire widening is completed around 2018, said Jon Chesser, environmental project manager for CDOT. Officials presented the numbers to homeowners who live near the interstate, along with recommendations to mitigate the increased noise, during the open houses. The second night drew more than 60 people who had questions pertaining to everything from how the studies were conducted to what impacts the noise might have on home values. Any homeowners exposed to sound below 66 decibels are considered not impacted by traffic noise, Chesser said, citing state and federal standards. Those who are affected will have the opportunity to vote on whether they want a noise barrier, such as a wall or berm, and a vote of 50 percent in favor is required to build a barrier. The extent of mitigation measures will also be weighed against construction costs. Some residents were upset that their homes were not within the zone that recommended noise abatement features. That included William Berg, who bought his home on Mallard Place, near Colorado Boulevard and Venneford Ranch Road, just six months ago. He was attending his first public meeting about the widening Feb. 11 after receiving a letter and postcard from the state. Berg, whose top concern is noise, was surprised to find there was no recommendation for a wall or berm behind his house on the poster boards at the meeting, despite his proximity to C-470. “Even though my house backs up directly to 470 and it’s going to expand closer to my house with more traffic, I’m not a candidate for noise mitigation,” he said, before Noise continues on Page 9

Cookies for the digital age FIND A COOKIE

By Christy Steadman csteadman @colorado communitymedia.com Girl Scouts are learning a whole new set of skills this year with the rollout of the digital cookie. Girl Scout cookie sales began on Feb. 8, and this year, along with the traditional selling methods of door-to-door and booths at local businesses, people can now purchase cookies online. The digital cookie is meant to supplement each girl’s sale, said AnneMarie Harper, public relations director for Girl Scouts of Colorado. “We don’t expect the digital cookie to replace traditional sales,” Harper said. “(But) it’s another tool in their toolbox to help them meet their goals.” Girl Scouts learn a number of valuable skills from selling cookies, she said, and the face-to-face interaction with the public is still a key part. However, with the digital cookie, new skills are introduced. For example, Harper said, each girl designs her own website, and they are encouraged to personalize it. The girls can upload a video with their own “cookie-pitch” to market their product, she said, plus they can track their online sales. “Online sales are good if people are from out-of-state,” said Kaylee Eubanks, an 8-year-old Girl Scout in Highlands Ranch. “This way, you can get the cookies delivered to more people,” added her sister, Taylor Eubanks, 12, also a Girl Scout. Digital cookie is a friends-and-family sale. A person has to know a Girl Scout in order to receive an emailed invite that includes a link to the girl’s website, said Kim Foster, Girl Scout leader for troop 3869 in Highlands Ranch. “Girl Scouts keeps it as safe and secure as possible,” she said. The girls’ safety is the No. 1 priority,

Girl Scout cookies are on sale across Colorado from Feb. 8 through March 15. The new digital cookie program allows Girl Scouts to make friends and family sales online. Customers must get an invite to shop at a girl’s personal website. To find when and where cookies are being sold at local businesses in the community, visit www.girlscoutsofcolorado.org and use the Cookie Locator by entering a ZIP code where prompted. The Cookie Locator is also available as a mobile app. What the Girl Scouts are saying: “I like selling cookies because I like to see everybody smile. Cookies make people smile.” — McKenna Foster, 13. “It’s fun to sell cookies. It’s nice to wave to people when you’re selling.” — Mary Shannon Foster, 7. “The best part is the joy that people get when they open their front door and see you with all the cookies.” — Taylor Eubanks, 12

With the rollout of the digital cookie, Girl Scouts now have a new tool to reach their goal of cookie sales. The digital cookie is an optional program for girls to sell to friends and family online. Photo illustration Harper added, and girls are not permitted to post personal information on their website, plus parents are encouraged to help monitor it. Additionally, the link ensures the individual girl gets credit for her online sales, Harper said, and “people can be assured the money stays here in Colorado,” even if the sale comes from another state. “The digital cookie allows all friends and family a way to support their Girl Scout,” she said. Digital cookie is an optional program, but it is something Girl Scouts across America have been asking for, Harper said. It has been in development for the past couple of years, she said, and although sales have only been open for about a week, as of Feb. 13, it has been very popular. “We’re excited that the girls are excited,” Harper said. “And we’re excited to see what they do with it.”

County saluted for role in preparedness test Fire exercise was first of its kind in Colorado By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County helped provide the footprint for future statewide efforts to combat large-scale wildfires. The county was recognized Feb. 10 during the county commissioners’ meeting for its role in Broken Arrow — statewide exercises aimed at testing fire and emergency departments’ preparedness for large wildfires. The exercises, the first of which was hosted by the Douglas County Justice Center in May 2014, were an attempt to do something that had never been done before in Colorado. There was a second exercise run in Larimer County. “We didn’t know what was going to happen. The goal was to put 30 pieces of fire apparatus in a staging area in 90 minutes after the activation,” said Garry Briese of the Colorado State Fire Chiefs. “Now that sounds like a pretty simple thing to do, but it’s not and, it took about six months of planning.” During the Douglas exercise, emergency

Douglas County commissioners were presented with a photo of the Broken Arrow wildfire training exercises Feb. 10. During the training, 68 emergency vehicles were assembled. Photo by Mike DiFerdinando responders were able to assemble 68 engines from 46 participating fire departments. The north exercise brought together 31 engines from 31 departments. During the Feb. 10 meeting, the Douglas County commissioners were presented with a framed photo of the 68 units assembled at the Justice Center. “We did not hit the 90 minutes time frame,”

Briese said. “That was an arbitrary time frame to see if we could do it, but we did hit 99 engines in both exercises in 120 minutes.” Other than California, it was the first time the exercise has been done west of the Mississippi River. “Certainly, we witnessed what happened in Waldo Canyon, and then shortly after we saw what happened in Black Forrest,” Briese

said. “We recognized that we have a shortage of the ability to move massive amounts of equipment in a very short amount of time to get hard, heavy and fast to an incident and try to contain that incident.” The Waldo Canyon Fire was a forest fire that started approximately four miles northwest of Colorado Springs in June 2012. The fire was active in the Pike National Forest and adjoining areas, covering a total of 18,247 acres, and caused the evacuation of more than 32,000 residents. Two people died and 347 homes were destroyed. The Black Forest Fire was a forest fire that began near Highway 83 and Shoup Road in Black Forest in June 2013. At least 509 homes were destroyed, and two people died. Black Forrest was the most destructive fire in the state’s history, surpassing Waldo Canyon. The evacuation area covered 94,000 acres, 13,000 homes and 38,000 people. “As we move this throughout the state, we can probably do this in a metro area,” Briese said. “But when we move to the San Luis Valley or the northeast part of the state, we’re pretty confident we’re not going to be able to get 30 engines in 90 minutes, but we may be able to get 15 or 20, which is what we cannot do right now.”

County funnels federal funds to fire agencies Five departments cover Pike National Forest By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County awarded $100,000 in what is known as federal PILT funding to five local fire departments that respond to Pike National Forest on behalf of the county. PILT — or payment in lieu of tax — funding provides money to nearly 1,900 counties in 49 states and three U.S. territories. PILT funds come from the federal government, and they help offset losses to local governments from the presence of non-taxable federal lands through direct payments to counties and other local governments.

Counties with federal land in their jurisdictions often provide vital services on those lands, such as solid waste management, search and rescue and emergency medical services. The PILT program helps to offset the loss of these important revenues and fulfill the federal government’s obligation to local communities with large amounts of federal land. Each year since 2002, Douglas County has provided supplemental funds to five fire districts: Jackson 105, Larkspur, Mountain Communities, Northfork Fire and West Douglas. “PILT Funds, across the county, are hard fought to maintain and to keep them coming,” Commissioner Jill Repella said. “When we go back to Washington, D.C., as part of the National Association of Counties, this is something that is always on the chopping block and you see counties come together in the state and counties come together across the nation to continue to advocate to not al-

low the federal government to cut PILT funds or change the structure of the PILT funds. We’re fighting on your behalf and we appreciate you fighting on our behalf to protect our communities.” The application process for the 2015 funds requested each district submit the number of calls they made in 2014 in Pike National Forest, as well as what they plan to use the funding for. The departments were awarded funds on a cost-per-call basis of $757 per call. The figures were rounded up for easier distribution. The distribution of funds for 2015 was as follows: • Jackson 105: $13,000 for 17 calls • Larkspur: $5,000 for six calls • Mountain Communities: 31,000 for 41 calls • Northfork: $20,000 for 26 calls • West Douglas: 31,000 for 42 calls

“Last year, I was able to acquire an ATV with a medical trailer to get people out of the backwoods. This year my request consisted of a larger ATV to pull a little tandem fire trailer that will haul 50-100 gallons of water, pumps and everything, so we can make a quicker attack into the forest and remote areas and at least get water closer,” said Terry Thompson, chief of West Douglas Fire in Sedalia. Randy Johnson, division chief and marshal for Larkspur Fire, said his department would be using the funds for tools and protective equipment. “Many counties receive a lot more PILT than we do, but we see the importance of this and we’ve actually become a model for other counties to consider this for their fire districts and law enforcement that provide their services to the national forests,” Commissioner Roger Partridge said.

Construction-defects legislation introduced Staff and wire report A simmering dispute over liability in home construction is heating up at the state Legislature. A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill Feb. 10 that addresses the construction-defects law. The law governs how homeowners can sue builders for shoddy construction. “Currently, there is a defect in state law preventing Coloradans from access to affordable housing such as condominiums,” Senate Majority Leader Mark Scheffel, R- Parker, said in an emailed statement. “Coloradans need

more affordable housing and this bipartisan legislation is an important step toward achieving that goal. It’s vital that we reach across the aisle and work together on the issues facing Colorado and I’m proud to join Sen. Jesse Ulibarri in sponsoring and advocating for this important legislation.” Developers say Colorado’s law, passed in 2005, has created a litigious environment and makes it expensive to get insurance, chilling development and contributing to a housing shortage. Consumer advocates fear that reform efforts would push the needle too far in favor of developers.

Condos represent just 3 percent of new housing starts in Colorado, compared to 23 percent in 2007, according to the Homeownership Opportunity Alliance, a coalition of Colorado businesses groups and community leaders. That leaves a lack of alternatives to either buying a single-family home or renting an apartment. “We would obviously like to see more diverse housing, having more opportunities for buyers and not having folks forced into the rental market,” said Loren Furman, senior vice president of state and federal affairs for the Colorado Chamber of Commerce and

Industry. Some metro-area cities are tackling the issue on their own. Lakewood passed an ordinance in October. Lone Tree passed an ordinance Feb. 17, and Castle Rock is considering it if legislation isn’t passed at the state level. In addition to Scheffel and Ulibarri, DWestminster, SB 177 is sponsored by state Reps. Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, and Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont. — Colorado Community Media reporter Amy Woodward and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Local trailblazer poised for new path South Suburban’s Lorenz retiring after decades of dedication to parks and rec By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dave Lorenz, executive director of South Suburban Parks and Recreation, grew up in the rough-and-tumble world of north Denver, in the mainly Polish community of Globeville. Jeans, white T-shirts and tennis shoes were standard attire, and he and his friends knew how to have a good time. But he was smart and a good student, which led him on a path to the University of Colorado’s engineering program in 1961. “I didn’t fit in there,” he said. “Everybody had slide rules, and the buildings didn’t excite me.” Same story when he changed his major to business. But when a career counselor suggested parks and recreation, he knew he’d found his calling and packed his bags for the University of Utah. “It was a hard decision, but one of my best decisions,” he said. “I left all my old friends behind. I was still dating girls from high school and running with the same crowd. It was good for me to get away.” After college, he volunteered for the Army at the height of the Vietnam War. With his degree in recreation, he hoped to be assigned to special services to help build morale among the troops. “But they said, `Son, there’s a war in Vietnam, and you’re going to Vietnam to the infantry just like everybody else,’ ” he remembers. It didn’t work out that way. Somebody made a mistake, he said, and he ended up in France, then Germany, running USO shows and service clubs and other activities. “We had a great time,” he said. He successfully applied for an early out to get his master’s degree after nearly two years, and came home to Denver. In 1967, he heard about a job opening at South Suburban Parks and Recreation. He jumped at the chance to make $5,800 a year as the recreation supervisor. Back in the day, the district had just one fitness class, taught in the upstairs gym at Arapahoe High School. It managed just two pools, Harlow and Franklin, plus the AHS pool during non-school hours for the public. There also was just one skating rink. Boone’s Ice Rink was outdoors, on the southeast corner of Belleview Avenue and Windermere Street where Colorado Journey is now. Lorenz remembers it as the happening place to be in the late 1960s, with hockey players and figure skaters filling the ice. But there was one downside, recalls Lorenz. For a few nights each November, he’d round up a few of the hockey players to help him make the ice, taking shifts two or three hours at a time, drinking beer and eating pizza. And every time it snowed, he’d have to go shovel off the lake. “I thought, `What have I gotten into?’ I think I came down with pneumonia and was out for a while,” he remembers.

Building a legacy

Today, there are two indoor skating rinks, hundreds of fitness classes, dozens of playgrounds, four pools and nearly 100 miles of trails, along with every other amenity a community could hope for in its parks and recre-

Dave Lorenz is retiring after 48 years with South Suburban Parks and Recreation District. Courtesy photo ation district. “I helped get the district from infancy to maturity,” he said. “I think it takes a different type of leadership to maintain what we have rather than to grow and mature, and I don’t find that exciting. It’s time to have a new voice, new vision and new expectations.” Lorenz, 72, will retire March 31 after 48 years with South Suburban. “We have a quality staff, a quality board and we’re in good financial shape,” he said. “And in the last three years, all the cities I work with got new city managers. New relationships are being formed. Now is a good time for the district’s board to select the new leadership.” Charlie Blosten, Littleton’s public works director, says residents have greatly benefited from Lorenz’s leadership. “He’s helped make the area one of the most desired places to live in the Denver-metro area,” he said. “He has been involved in numerous efforts to improve and expand the trails, parks and open spaces that we all enjoy today and will for many years to come.” South Suburban serves more than 135,000 residents in Littleton, Sheridan, Columbine Valley, Bow Mar, Lone Tree, western Centennial and portions of unincorporated Jefferson, Douglas and Arapahoe counties. There is one thing Lorenz didn’t get done that he would have liked. “There were several times we had opportunities that didn’t materialize, but the one thing that stands out to me as I drive down Broadway is Marathon,” he said. The district had hoped to acquire the 77acre former Marathon Oil property at Broadway and Dry Creek Avenue and turn it into sports fields. But cities like their tax revenue, and it wasn’t to be. Bulldozers are currently turning over dirt to make way for Littleton Village, a residential and commercial development. It’s a big site, but only about half the size of Lorenz’s namesake park. David Lorenz Regional Park in Centennial, where Lorenz lives, is 150-plus acres of recreation on the site of an old landfill. It was actually his son’s brainchild, born of a love for BMX racing.

Retiring to ‘something’ Lorenz hopes his legacy is more than just a

park, though. “I hope I’m known for having integrity and making wise decisions about expenditures of funds, and for following through on our promises,” he said. “I hope the board hires someone with integrity, vision, ability to communicate and to operate. So much of what we do depends on relationships.” One major issue his replacement will have to deal with is the High Line Canal, says Lorenz. “It is in jeopardy,” he said. “We need to pre-

serve and enhance it somehow. It’s going to be a long process.” Lorenz promises to not be a stranger to SSPR golf courses, parks, trails and other facilities, but also not to meddle. “I’m not interested at this time in going back to work anyplace, but the door’s open, so who knows what’s there once you walk through the door,” he says. “You don’t retire from something, you retire to something. I don’t have that something except to live and play and enjoy.”

Lone Tree seeks award-worthy youths Staff report Applications are now being accepted for the Outstanding Youth of Lone Tree Award. The City of Lone Tree’s award is aimed at recognizing youths in the community who demonstrate a commitment to community involvement as well as personal achievement. The honor also provides an opportunity to showcase the talents and contributions of young people at an annual award ceremony. Applications will be accepted through April 1, with the final selection being made in late April. An application and guidelines

for completion can be found online at www. cityoflonetree.com/youthaward. The award was created by the Lone Tree Youth Commission, a group of seven youth in grades 8-12 who reside in Lone Tree and serve in an advisory capacity to city council. “Lone Tree is full of hard-working, dedicated teens and this is an opportunity for us to highlight their accomplishments,” said Lindsay Nikolaeff, youth commission chair. A monetary award will be given to an individual or group of students who demonstrate leadership through community service or other outstanding accomplishments in academics, arts and culture, entrepre-

neurship, environment, sports and recreation, social action or personal triumph. Funds for the award have been contributed by the City of Lone Tree Youth Commission and First Commercial Bank. Competition for the award is open to any student who lives within the city. Additionally, the applicant must be enrolled in grades 8-12 and their qualifying project or the performance of qualifying deeds or actions identified in the application must have occurred within 12 months prior to the date the application is received. Students interested in applying must complete the two-page application, write

an essay between 250-750 words, submit a copy of their school transcript or report card and mail two completed letters of recommendation to the City of Lone Tree. A panel consisting of Lone Tree Youth Commissioners, council members and city staff will review all entries and conduct in-person interviews with the top candidates. A public award ceremony will be held at the beginning of May to recognize the award recipient. For more information, contact Kristen Knoll, staff liaison to the Youth Commission, at 303-708-1818 or kristen.knoll@ cityoflonetree.com.

OPINION Maybe the answer

8 Lone Tree Voice

Y O U R S

is all in the question Have you ever found yourself so distracted during a conversation where you had to ask the other person, “What did you say?” And maybe it’s not even the fact that you were distracted — maybe the other person was just talking too slow or too fast for you to comprehend what they had said, so again you ask, “What did you say?” Or the discussion could just be very confusing or shocking and just so you make sure that you are abundantly clear on what was being said you ask the same question, “What did you say?” Many people want clarity, and some not only want clarity, they need clarity. For these folks things need to be very clear, black and white, no gray areas at all, no mystification. So they will certainly ask for someone to repeat themselves when they need more information. Then there are others who would just rather not know, they are just not that interested so they may never ask for clarity. Or they are so absorbed in what they are planning on saying or how they can talk about themselves in some way, they couldn’t care less what the other person actually said. As I spoke with some folks about writing this column I asked for opinions around listening skills, the art of conversation, and basic human interactions. The opinions were almost unanimous, “People just don’t listen anymore.” Some shared their thoughts around the fact that texting and email have done away with the need for actually speaking with someone unless you absolutely had to. Another opinion was that because technology plays such a huge role in our lives,

we are just out of practice and that no one is actually intentionally avoiding a one-on-one or group discussion, we are all just out of practice. One person I spoke with didn’t focus or point the finger of blame on texting and technology, instead they felt like we are all so busy, running a million miles an hour, and caught up in what we “have” to do that we have forgotten how to slow down and take the time to talk with others. Not talking “at” others, but talking “with” others. And when this happens, our personal agendas are so important to us that we just don’t listen anymore. How are you doing at the whole listening thing? If you are struggling with it, let me give you a few things that I have used to help me become a better listener. • Ask questions instead of making statements: The more you ask others about themselves and their jobs, hobbies, or families, the more interesting they will become. So instead of trying to jump in with your own stories, just replace what you had wanted to say with another question • Write things down: The more we write

down, the more people will talk. This is usually suggested in a business conversation like a sales call, team meeting, or a job interview. However, in social settings when someone gives me a good idea or recommends something I ask if it would be okay if I made a note to myself. The other person is generally gracious and feels a sense of pride that they can be of help. • Repeating a question or statement: If you are really struggling with listening, this tip should help you the most. When you are engaged in a conversation, try repeating back what the other person had said or turn it into a question like, “Excuse me, but what I think I heard you say was that you are a respiratory therapist, is that correct?” The point of all three tips is that you become an intentional listener and not just a casual listener. This places the focus squarely on the other person and their interests and you will minimize and maybe even eliminate the need to ask, “What did you say?” So again, how about you? Are you an intentional listener already? Do you have listening tips of your own? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we take the time to become a better listener, who knows, we may just learn something along the way too. So listen up and let’s make this a better than good week.

Bad news, sad news, not a lot of glad news “We are Charlie” seems like a long time ago now. Ferguson seems like a long time ago now. So do the marches and protests over the death of Eric Garner. Four hundred schoolgirls were kidnapped by Boko Haram. What’s become of them? I am guessing that some of them are pregnant. Boko Haram continues to terrorize and slaughter. But they have been bumped in the Most Despicable category by ISIS. I have a good friend who has a cure for all of these headlines. She doesn’t read them. Instead she travels, visits her mother, spends time with her children, goes to art exhibitions, and breathes deep without anxieties over current events. Why can’t I do that? If I did, I wouldn’t understand a word that Bill Maher or Bill O’Reilly were saying. Maybe that’s it, or at least part of it. There is a price to be paid for staying informed. I don’t plan to build a cabin, like Henry

David Thoreau did, but it has crossed my mind. I don’t have his spirit, certainly. I couldn’t make it without my Mac. I spilled coffee on the keyboard one day, and went hours without being on the Internet. I think Smitty would be able to make it, as long as there was a tree nearby. Thoreau spent two years, two months, and two days in his cabin, built on land owned by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Thoreau didn’t have the distractions of the Internet, or television, or any of the kaboodle that we do.

I do have one thing in common with Thoreau: I spend most of my time alone. I wouldn’t know anything different. Thoughts occupy my time all of the time, not just late at night when the workday is done. Because there is no workday. “Walden: Life in the Woods” compresses two years, two months, and two days into one year. Here’s something I didn’t know until I started to shop for cabins and lighthouses: Thoreau’s cabin wasn’t way out in the middle of nowhere. It was on the edge of town. He could have walked to the Piggly Wiggly. Maybe he did. And another thing: He didn’t live in solitary. He kept three chairs handy for visitors, and said that he had more visitors than when he was living at home. Home was just two miles away. Finding this out was a little shattering. I thought he had really dropped out. That he was unavailable. Inaccessible. A neighbor Smith continues on Page 9

Investment returns expected to decline Most seasoned investors are used to volatility. In fact, in recent years that is all we have ever known — that the stock market is a roller coaster. No matter what the catalyst is, whether it is foreign or domestic, economic or political, interest rates or earnings, we get constant ups and downs. The next thing analysts are predicting is lower returns. Advisors are to set the expectation for the future to be substantially lower than returns have been in the past. This includes equities and fixed income. Therefore, be careful using historical averages in your long-term planning. You may be disappointed when it does not pan out. The equity market average returns have been coming down gradually from a 12 percent return in 1926 to just 7.8 percent return average in the last 20 years. Let’s take a look at why: 1. Technology has increased efficiencies in market trading with super computers and instantaneous block trading. This has increased the volume but destabilized the price. 2. More investors are involved in the

markets than ever before. Much of this is inspired by 401(k) plans, but a lot of instant access to markets via the internet has created opportunity for small investors as well. Often uninformed investors may buy and sell at the wrong times to gain the optimum return and this increases declines and pushes up artificial highs. 3. The economy has evolved over time. Stocks that are considered valuable today, such as Apple, would have had no value in the first eight decades of the stock market. Much of this is attributed to our economy moving away from manufacturing and more

O U R S

toward services, which are intangible and difficult to value. 4. Inflation has remained low for long periods of time. Inflation can be a byproduct of high growth (as measured by GDP), and full employment which can push up wages and increase prices. With very low, slow growth, we have not experienced a reason to have high returns on our stocks. Earnings have been the driver, which have increased due to better technology and fewer workers. However this may not be as sustainable as growing output has been in prior decades. 5. We are now on a global economy. Prior to 2008, we were not overly concerned about what happened in Greece or any part of the Eurozone. Japan being in recession for long periods of time did not impact us significantly and Emerging Markets was a neat concept but not heavily invested in yet. Now we are indefinitely tied to what happens in other countries to the point where it affects our multinational companies’ stock price as well Kummer continues on Page 9

Noise Continued from Page 1

pointing out homes on an enlarged map that appeared to be an equal distance or farther from the lanes of traffic that will have the option. Berg was unaware of the plans to add the toll lanes to C-470 before purchasing his home and said he is considering selling before the project starts. Others who carefully eyed the maps at the open houses were glad to see noise barriers recommended for their area of the heavily used corridor. Ray and Mary Gutkowski, who moved into the Villas at Verona near C-470 and Santa Fe Drive more than a year ago, pointed at a wall that has been suggested as a buffer between the development and the highway. Ray Gutkowski pointed out that traffic noise will also be blocked by four-story buildings on the de-

velopment’s south end. They are not concerned about a drop in property value because they believe the value is “based on the property itself,” not its proximity to C-470, Mary Gutkowski said. Numerous experts in fields from sound acoustics to civil engineering were on hand to answer questions from homeowners at the Feb. 11 open house. It was the latest meeting in what has thus far been a twoand-a-half-year outreach effort to include the public. “We want your feedback in your words,” Chesser said. Berg hopes that public sentiment will resonate with decision-makers, particularly because homeowners near the highway want to protect their investments and quality of life. Although residents can do so online, Berg planned to submit his comments in writing and knock on doors in his neighborhood to promote awareness. “Hopefully the process will work,” he said. “That’s what it’s in place for.”

said she was sure he sneaked home at night to do his laundry. On the other hand, if you were holed up in a huge, vacant hotel, you could designate each room as a metaphor for the rooms of life and the journeys of existence, and save one just for copies of Playboy. I don’t know. A century later, John Steinbeck did just about the same thing, but he did it on the move, in a camper truck. He crossed America with his poodle, Charley. In every photograph I have seen of Thoreau, he looks like an elderly man. He looks older than I do.

as bond prices. Fixed income and bond earnings may also deteriorate due to the global effect and long periods of low interest rates. The United States’ bond is considered very high quality compared to many countries that may be close to defaulting due to struggling economies. Yet with such low interest rates, there is a very narrow margin of return. The higher the quality of the bond, the lower the return. Therefore, if a bond issued in Spain is paying say 3 percent, by comparison, a much higher quality bond in the U.S. must only yield about half that. This brings us back to the original comment that investors should plan on lower returns for the foreseeable future. I doubt that technology and high volume trading will end anytime soon. The global economy is

He died when he was 10 years younger than John Elway is. Thoreau said, and I agree: “Writing your name can lead to writing sentences. And the next thing you’ll be doing is writing paragraphs and then books. And then you’ll be in as much trouble as I am!” The cabin — cottage — was 10 feet by 15 feet. That’s about the size of my living room, and smaller than my studio. No thanks. A space that size would really leave you with an uncompromised atmosphere of personal introspection. “Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide.” I think I will just stay put, and put up with the headlines.

here to stay as well. Interest rates are subject to economic growth and that remains slow worldwide for the time being. The best-case scenario is to lower your expectations and plan your long-term goals accordingly. That is the only thing you really have control over — your standard of living and level of saving. The best recipe for success is to plan on lower returns and compensate in other ways such as reduced spending, working longer, and investing prudently. Otherwise you are likely to come up short and it will be too late to make adjustments.

was introduced in the Legislature last week. Opponents said Lone Tree’s ordinance is better than Lakewood’s and the most recent state proposal, but that it nonetheless tips the balance too heavily in the builders’ favor. Dee Wolfe, founder of Colorado Association Services, said Lone Tree’s changes also put too many complicated requirements on members of homeowners’ association boards, most of whom are volunteers and not well-versed in legal matters. “What we believe in this country is (that you have) a right to have your voice heard, and that’s being taken away from them,” she said. Furthermore, Wolfe said, the city ordinance conflicts with existing state statute. “Modifying the statutes … will not increase the number of condo projects,” said Heidi Storz, a construction defects attorney. “It will only serve to take away quality controls and avenues to remedy the problem, while shifting the burden from the builders who should be responsible to homeown-

ers.” Storz cited a recent housing-market analysis that concluded low demand is the real reason for the dearth of condos. Millennials, the prime market for condos, aren’t yet buying because of tighter financing requirements, higher student debt and the higher average age at which they marry and have children. “This is a nationwide phenomenon, with apartment construction filling the gap for these millennials,” Storz said. The tide will eventually shift, she said, and apartments then will be converted to condos to meet the demand. Despite a last-minute executive session in which council members agreed to make slight changes to the ordinance, the arguments against it didn’t convince Lone Tree’s elected leaders. “We also wish there was a better path forward than what currently seems to be available,” Mayor Jim Gunning said. “We are doing our best to find a better path forward. “We’re very proud of our community. A big part of it is going to be coming out of the ground very soon on the other side of the highway. We want to have a wide range of housing over there. We don’t want the community to be unbalanced.”

Drug incidents rise in Colorado schools Uneven state data doesn’t specify substances behind numbers By Katie Kuntz

Rocky Mountain PBS I-News The first months of legal recreational marijuana in Colorado saw a jump in drug policy violations in the state’s public schools, a Rocky Mountain PBS I-News analysis of Department of Education data has found. The biggest spike in violations came in the state’s middle schools, according to the analysis. The first months of legal recreational marijuana coincided with the winter and spring of the 2013-14 school year. “Middle-schoolers are most vulnerable to being confused about marijuana,” said Dr. Christian Thurstone, attending physician for the Denver Health Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment program. “They think, `Well, it’s legal so it must not be a problem.’” In many cases, marijuana is simply more available to younger teens, officials say. “We have seen parents come in and say, `Oh that’s mine, they just took it out of my room,’ and that sort of thing,” said school resource officer Judy Lutkin of the Aurora Police Department. “Parents have it in their houses more often, and the kids just can take it from home.” The hike in drug violations came as overall suspensions, expulsions and referrals to police for other transgressions decreased between the year of legalization and the previous academic year, 2012-13. The I-News analysis found: • Middle schools had the highest percentage increase in drug violations, rising 24 percent in the school year ending last spring. This led to a decade high of 951 drug incidents in middle schools. • Drug incidents reported by all public schools hit a decade high last school year, rising 7.4 percent to 5,377 incidents. There are more drug violations in high schools, but those numbers stayed flat during the first year of legalization.

Details hard to come by

Still, it’s hard to discern the specific types of drugs involved in the increased number of reports, as statewide policies to measure and extrapolate teen use of marijuana and other drugs are often inconsistent and unreliable. In fact, the data collected by the Colorado Department of Education does not identify any specific drugs. Instead, this data lumps prescription drugs, heroin, cocaine and marijuana all into the same category of disciplinary cases. “I would say that at any given time, any day of the week, there are probably about 10 percent of kids in the high school that are under the influence of something,” said school resource officer Susan Condreay, of the Aurora Police Department. Marijuana is second only to alcohol in teen substance abuse, according to the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, an annual survey from the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment. “Alcohol is by far and away the most used

substance by middle-schoolers, then it goes down for marijuana and tobacco is just below that,” said Dr. Thurstone. “Prescription drug use is number four, and it’s increasing, so that’s been an alarming increase, as well, that we need to pay attention to.” The Department of Education wants to address the lack of specificity in its drug reporting, according to Rep. Polly Lawrence, R-Roxborough. She said she was asked to

carry a bill that would require schools to be more transparent with their drug reporting, particularly about marijuana. “We are still continuing with stakeholder meetings, but I am hoping to have a bill drafted and ready to go (this month),” Lawrence said. “If we don’t start now, we are not Drug continues on Page 12

going to have a baseline to compare to in the future.” She hopes that potential new requirements will not only show how legal marijuana is impacting students, but also provide more data on other potentially harmful drugs. “Colorado ranks I think second in prescription drug abuse in the country and that is something we need to keep a constant eye on,” Lawrence said. “And I think starting to monitor the marijuana use is very important so we need to make sure that we are collecting the best data we can.”

Prescription drugs abused

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health ranked Colorado as the second worst state in the country for prescription drug abuse in 2013. That year, 598 people of all ages in the state died from unintentional drug poisoning, according to the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health. That’s nearly four times the number of deaths that were caused by drunk driving during the same period. Still, marijuana remains a top priority for school resource officers and treatment providers, especially in middle schools. Denver Public Schools hired a district substance abuse treatment coordinator this school year, who will focus greater attention on middle schools. “According to our data, middle schools are where most people begin to experiment,” said John Simmons, DPS executive director of student services. “It’s much easier to stop someone from using in the first place than it is to stop it once it’s started.” The Denver district saw a 7 percent increase in drug incidents, from 452 in 201213 to 482 in the 2013-14 year. Simmons says that marijuana accounts for almost every drug incident. But legalization supporters point out that kids aren’t coming in and buying from stores, and packages that leave the stores do not market to children. “We have gone above and beyond to make sure that we are not marketing to children,” said Meg Sanders, owner of MiNDFUL, a cannabis company that operates in several cities in Colorado. “We feel it’s our responsibility as a responsible business to card not just once but twice for any recreational customer, and medical patients have to show several documents before they can purchase marijuana.” Some say that legalization might help provide resources for addressing underage consumption of marijuana, using tax rev-

February 19, 2015 enue generated through legal sales. “The fact is that we had a significant number using marijuana then and now (before and after legalization),” Simmons said of public schools in Denver. “We are hopeful that these changes will provide more resources.”

Some data not tracked

The Colorado General Assembly set aside $2.5 million in grants for schools from marijuana tax revenue. As of November 2014, the Department of Education had awarded $975,000 to 11 districts to hire more health professionals to help address student behavior regarding marijuana, sometimes as an alternative to traditional punishments like expulsion or suspension. But alternative or non-punitive methods currently dealing with drug incidents by districts or individual schools are not tracked by state data. “We have a lot of different things that we will do for kids who have gotten involved in drug incidents in school,” said Kenlyn Newman, the student engagement initiatives director for Adams 12 Five Star School District. She says that different behaviors require different responses, and schools will try to intervene and work with parents to address inappropriate behaviors. Adams 12 schools are in five different municipalities, and each of those schools has different agreements with the local government. This means that police involvement can vary from school to school, with similar incidents being reported differently to the state. But the Department of Education has no means to measure these differences in reporting. “There is no manpower to audit the data; we can’t go back to the districts to check what they say,” said Annette Severson from the Colorado Department of Education. “We just have to trust that what they report to us is accurate and then they have to sign off and say that it is accurate.” Even as Colorado has been launched into the national spotlight as the first state to legalize and commercialize the sale of marijuana for adult use, the state has yet to begin collecting comprehensive and consistent data to describe how it is impacting Colorado’s teens. “I was against legalization,” said Doris Cooper, while waiting to pick up her seventh-grade granddaughter from North Middle School in Aurora. “If you legalize it, you know it’s just going to make them want to use it that much more, that’s what I figure.” Colorado Community Media brings you this report in partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS I-News.

Health alliance wins Hearts for Hope SMHA recognizes standouts By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Hope, says Carol Jeanotilla, is all in your head, and that’s perfectly OK. “It really is all in our minds, but in the best possible way,” she told those who attended the South Metro Health Alliance’s Hearts for Hope luncheon on Feb. 12. “Our minds and bodies connect with each other via our emotions. It’s part of why outlook is such a critical part of healing.” Jeanotilla had been a registered nurse for 20 years when what she calls a “big ol’ midlife crisis” hit. She traded in her stethoscope for sculptor’s tools, and found her life’s calling. When a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis threatened to take it away, she fought back in, literally, a big way. “I had to see this as a chance,” she said during the luncheon, held at The Franciscan Event Center in Centennial. “So I thought, by golly, if I did big, great work, none of that mattered.” She launched Big3D Productions, and now she’s known for her large-scale projects like the Hope Tree at the Parker Cancer Center. “I thought that would be my biggest legacy, but now I hope it’s hope that’s etched into my headstone, that she was a woman of hope,” she said. Her ultimate goal is to bring a “Hope Summit” to the Denver area, and that’s something SMHA members can all get be-

hind. The alliance was formed in 2009 by health-care providers who wanted create a go-to resource for organizations working to increase access to care. “The SMHA will ensure that there is no ‘wrong door’ for people seeking care by helping health-care providers understand the needs of the vulnerable patient population and the resources available to treat the whole person,” reads its vision statement. Its projects tackle a range of issues, from mental health to aging, youth to suicide. It offers resources for anyone unsure of where to turn for help. “When I started this journey 21 years ago, I could not possibly have imagined the partnerships and the number of lives that, between us, we have touched and improved,” said Susan Thornton, who was honored as a retiring founding member of SMHA. “I know that all of you are going to keep walking on this journey to make this community the healthiest one in Colorado.”

Martini brought her 22-string portable harp to play at Valentines at the Mansion Feb. 12, an event that benefited the American Heart Association. “Her music is romantic and relaxing,” said the Highlands Ranch Mansion’s manager, Maggie Glass. “It adds to the ambience and suits the mansion.” Martini, 28, is a certified harp therapist and plays for patients in hospital emergency rooms, maternity wards and intensive care units, among others. “The No. 1 word is soothing,” Martini said. “That’s what comes out of everybody’s mouth.” According to www.harptherapy.com, “when experiencing harp therapy, subjects have reported increased relaxation, improvement in sleep, decreased pain and anxiety, stabilization of vital signs and improvement in mood.” Martini also enjoys playing at nursing homes and retirement communities. Harp therapy is especially good for Alzheimer’s patients, she said. “When you play a song from their past, all of a sudden, they just light up,” Martini said. “It helps jog their memory.” Martini plays original compositions and well-known classical songs such as “Ave Maria,” but she will also take requests. Surprisingly, her most requested song is “Stairway to Heaven”

Led Zeppelin, she said. “People generally ask for it as a joke,” Martini said, “but then I start playing it, and they really like it on the harp.” Martini moved to the south metro area about six months ago from a New York/New Jersey border town with dreams of snowboarding and playing therapeutic music. In August, though, she broke her back on a stair railing and was bedridden for a month, she said. She had four broken bones, which were in between her spine and connected directly to the muscle. “I had never felt pain like that before,” she said. Martini stayed with her aunt in Castle Pines until she healed, and now she is training to run her first half-marathon, she said. Holistic therapy seemed a natural profession for Martini because she was raised by medical professionals. “My dad is a doctor, and my mom is a nurse,” she said, “but I’m a musician, so I’m blending the two.” Martini also plays guitar, bass, drums, piano and saxophone. She can give private lessons on any of the instruments and teaches at the School of Rock. She is happy to contribute to society’s knowledge of holistic therapy. She wants to play anywhere and everywhere, she said, so people can learn the benefits of music therapy. “Everywhere you go, there’s somebody that knows someone who would benefit from this type of healing,” Martini said.

‘Vampire Academy’ author to visit Mead will speak to fans at Castle Rock library about final book in series By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com One of the country’s most popular fantasy authors is coming to Castle Rock to discuss the final volume of her bestselling series. Richelle Mead, the author of the popular “Vampire Academy” and “Bloodlines” book series, will be at the Philip S. Miller Library on Feb. 20 to promote her latest book, “The Ruby Circle.” The event will run from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Books will be sold at the event courtesy of the Tattered Cover Book Store. “The Ruby Circle” is the last book of the series. With more than 10 million copies in print, Mead’s books have hit the No.1 spot on the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists simultaneously, spending a total of 79

weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. In February 2014, “Vampire Academy” was adapted into a film directed by Mark Waters. The film received two Teen Choice Award nominations, for Choice Comedy and Choice Movie Actress for Zoey Deutch. “This closes everything,” Mead said. “Obviously, everyone is wondering how everything will end, but I think the fans will be will be satisfied with the ending. So far, the response has been positive.” The protagonist, Sydney Sage, is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire secrets — and human lives. In the last “Bloodlines” book, “Silver Shadows,” Sydney and Moroi Adrian struggled to keep their feelings for one another hidden and to reunite in the aftermath of a catastrophic event that ripped their worlds apart. In “The Ruby Circle,” Sydney and Adrian’s secret romance is exposed and they find themselves facing the wrath of both the Alchemists and the Moroi.

Larimer Square restaurant gets all spiffed up Rioja owners Beth Gruitch and Jennifer Jasinski threw a “coming out” party Feb. 9 to show off the extensive remodel of the 10-year-old restaurant on Larimer Square. Drinks flowed, bites were passed and local movers and shakers — including Larimer Square boss Jeff Hermanson — came to ogle the new digs. “We’ve grown up,” Jasinski said about the sleeker, sparer and more sophisticated restaurant decor from Denver-based Boss Architecture. James Beard award-winning chef Jasinski and business partner Gruitch reopened their flagship restaurant on Feb. 4 after a nearly monthlong complete renovation. “Our food, service and wine program have never been better,” Jasinski said. “Now, we’ve got a sexy new design to show off our skills. I can’t wait for everyone to see it.” A fully re-envisioned seating concept complete with chairs and booths covered in a sage green crushed velvet, multiple booth and banquette seating options, and a more intimate lounge area are all part of the new look. To celebrate the robust nature of the wine program at Rioja, the wine display is the centerpiece of the new design as it moved out from the edge of the space into the center of the room. Rioja is the flagship restaurant of Crafted Concepts and is located at 1431 Larimer St. More information at www.riojadenver. com or by calling 303-820-2282. Other Crafted Concepts restaurants include Bistro Vendome, Euclid Hall Bar & Kitchen in Larimer Square, and Stoic & Genuine in Denver’s historic Union Station.

Doggy suites at DIA When the life of someone they both love is put on the line, Sydney risks everything to hunt down a deadly former nemesis. Meanwhile, Adrian becomes enmeshed in a puzzle that could hold the key to a shocking secret about spirit magic that could shake the entire Moroi world. During the event in Castle Rock, Mead will not only talk about and sign copies of the book, but she will also answer fan questions about the series.

“For the fans of the series, I tried to throw in a lot of extra stuff in this one and answer some of the questions people had from the earlier books,” Mead said. “I wanted to give people closure.” Mead said that while she is wrapping things up with her most beloved work, she will still be writing more in the coming years and already has a new science fiction book planned for 2016.

Ballet at heart of extravaganza Opera house hosts three works through March 1

reographed by Val Caniparoli with music by Poul Ruders. Russian neo-classical ballet choreographer Balanchine (1904-1983) has been credited with the fusion of contemporary concepts with the language of classical ballet. He was invited to the U.S. in 1933 by arts supporter/philanthropist Lincoln Kirstein and they founded the School of American Ballet and the New York City Ballet, which he headed until his death. He said the ballerinas in “Concerto Barocco” personify the violins in “Bach’s Concerto in D Minor for Two Violins,” according to Boggs. American choreographer/ Broadway producer Jerome Robbins (1918-1998) choreographed more than 60 ballets and created dance for theater, movies and television. The comical “Fancy Free” is set in wartime New York, where three sailors on leave seek out drinks and female companionship. It premiered in 1944. Colorado Ballet premiered “In Pieces” in 2013.

He is known for unique choices in music and “In Pieces” is set to Ruder’s “Concerto in Pieces.” Good news: The company had a record-breaking attendance for its production of “The Nutcracker” in 2014, as well as continued success with its capital campaign for its new home, Armstrong Center for Dance in the Santa Fe Arts District.

Violinist plays Bruch concerto at Lone Tree Orchestra to perform with renowned musician

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF FEB. 16, 2015

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) All that flattery and fawning shouldn’t affect any decision you have to make. Keep your focus on the facts and ignore all the hyperbole, especially if it gets uncomfortably personal. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your Bovine instincts are on the mark about that “favor” you’re being asked to do. Agree to nothing unless you get a full explanation -- which you would check out first, of course. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A somewhat unsettled recent period should give way to a smoother time going through the week. Use this quieter time to catch up on matters you might have had to let slide.

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Feeling a little confused is understandable with all those mixed messages. Take time to list the questions you have. Then present them and insist on answers that make sense. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Cupid can be very helpful for Lions seeking a love connection. The chubby cherub also brings warm and fuzzy feelings to paired Leos and Leonas who already share a special love line. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Travel is favored this week, whether you’ll be globe-trotting or taking a trip to a nearby getaway. You might be surprised (or maybe not) by who wants to be your traveling companion. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Getting advice on your next business-related move is a good idea, but only if your advisers are trustworthy. Get references that you can check out before you make any decisions. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Getting a boost in your self-esteem is one benefit that comes with a job well done. There are other plusses as well, including being noticed by all the right people. Good luck. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Make time to deal with family matters, especially where they concern your elderly kinfolk. Being there for them from the start can help resolve problems sooner rather than later. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Getting a project started can often be difficult. But the good news is that you won’t want for lack of assistance from colleagues who would like to work with you. So, let them! AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A lot of work-related issues might be raised this week, and you need to be prepared for whatever comes along. Things should be easier when it comes to matters in your private life. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) What might appear to be a very much unwanted change in your life right now could turn out to be a very welcome event after all. Give yourself a chance to see where it might take you.

Seven ThunderRidge wrestlers qualify for state tourney By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com ThunderRidge wrestlers made their presence known, helping their team finish third at the Class 5A Region 2 wrestling tournament Feb. 13 and 14 at Smoky Hill High School in Aurora. Seven Grizzlies earned berths in this week’s state tournament by finishing in the top four in their weight divisions. The team’s state qualifiers are David Opheim, second at 126; Alex Bezugly, fourth at 138; Jack Huber, third at 152; Zeke Johnson, fourth at 170; Matthew Stanley, first at 195; Jonah Holden, third at 220; and James Duckworth second at 285. “We had a really good tournament and I am proud of our guys. It is the best regional finish for us ever,” Grizzlies coach Casey Paul said. “We brought 12 wrestlers and nine of them placed in the top six in their weight division standings including six of them who qualified for state.” Regionals used a 16-wrestler, doubleelimination bracket so a wrestler who lost in an early round could battle back to qualify for state by finishing third or fourth. Ribbons were presented to the top six finishers in each weight division. Roars rocked the gym as fans in the near-

Almost 200 wrestlers from 16 schools were

entered in the two-day tournament. Tournament officials used three mats for the competition. On Feb. 14, the battles for first, third

and fifth in each weight division were wrestled at the same time. The state wrestling tournament begins with preliminary matches Feb. 19 at the Pepsi Center in Denver. Wrestling action and eliminations continue through the day and evening Feb. 20 and it all leads up to the matches to determine state championships in Class 5A, 4A, 3A and 2A, which will be held starting at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 21. Grand Junction won the regional title with 216 points. Broomfield was second and ThunderRidge was third. Highlands Ranch was 13th and Rock Canyon was 15th in the 16-team field. The Grizzlies had three wrestlers make it to the regional finals. Stanley was the only ThunderRidge regional champion as he pinned his opponent in the finals to finish first in the 195-pound weight class. Duckworth was second at 285 and Opheim was second at 126. Stanley said he started wrestling as a seventh-grader because he was told it was a good sport to get him ready for football. “It was harder to become a good wrestler than I thought it would be,” he said. “There are a lot of techniques to learn and you have to work hard to develop the stamina you need to go full out for six minutes.” He said his goal coming into the tournament was to be regional champion. “Bailey Cox of Ralston Valley gave me a run for my money in the semifinals but I got the win and then won in the finals to achieve my goal,” the senior said. “I am excited to be going to the finals for the third year in a row.”

Area swimmers make waves at state championship ThunderRidge’s Ochitwa, Arapahoe’s Moynihan each win two events By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media Hadn’t we seen this before? That certainly could have been a question asked by the fans attending the Feb. 13 and 14 Class 5A girls state swimming championships at EPIC Sports Center in Fort Collins. After all, a total of seven individual defending event champions were back as well as the Regis Jesuit relay teams, which won all three last season. And the Raiders were again paced by the same foursomes of swimmers that accomplished the relay titles a year ago. The only event that did not return its defending champion was the 500 freestyle, but there still was a champion in the field. That designation belonged to Arapahoe’s Ella Moynihan, who was the 200-meter champion last year and had qualified second in the event

for the Feb. 14 finals. Breaking individual state records was also going to be a difficult task from the get-go. Six are held by former Regis standout and Olympic gold medal-winner Missy Franklin, and as expected, none of her marks were really challenged. Fossil Ridge, coached by Tasha Marchant, came through as expected, scoring 347 points, to outdistance runner-up Regis (277) and third-place Fairview (226.5). “All our home meets are here and this is where we train,” Marchant said. “It makes it even sweeter as they set their focus at the beginning of the year. It’s nice to see them accomplish almost everything they wanted to accomplish.” Annie Ochitwa of ThunderRidge won both the 50- and 100-freestyle events last year and was another two-event individual champs in the field. Now, make her another two-event champion as she came through to defend her titles. Ochitwa won the 50 in 22.86 seconds and the 100 in 49.60. She edged Rock Canyon’s

Abigail Kochevar, who swam 23.36, in the 50, then nipped Loveland’s Brooke Hansen, who accounted for a 49.97 effort in the 100. “We all want to repeat our individual championships and I couldn’t be happier,” said Ochitwa after her 50-win. “I’ve gone against Abby (Kochevar) for years and the competition is always tough in this event. I felt I was well prepared. I did what I wanted to do today and hit some good times. This past week I have been able to swim my fastest times and the hard work paid off. “Now, it’s off to the University of Arizona” Ochitwa said. “This is just a fun event and there are some fine girls to compete against. This is something that I think we all enjoy and I’m excited to reach the finals. Now, I’m excited for my opportunity to compete in college.” Kochevar also would not be disappointed in her state appearance as she was able to win her second title in the 100 backstroke. She swam the event in 54.17 seconds, beating Shelly Drozda of Mountain Range (55.80) and Patricia Van Law of ThunderRidge (55.88). Moynihan won her repeat title in the 200

freestyle with a time of 1:48.28. She would also pick up her second title in the 500 freestyle, in 4:54.92. And, she also knew it was going to be tough from the start. Moynihan had little to say after winning the 500 as excitement and congratulations were taking over. It was here that she defeated Fairviews Brittany Beetcher, who swam 4:55.20 and Cherry Creek’s Rose Saya, who came in with a time of 5:02.78. “This is all so exciting,” Moynihan said as teammates gathered around. “It was just a fine race. But let me congratulate all the finalists. We all worked hard to get here and we all have raced hard today.” Regis won the 200 freestyle relay. The Raiders’ foursome of Lindsay Paintonk, Kennae Frederick, Amy Lenderink and Taylor Wilson swam 1:34.72. Sophomore Mckensi Austin of Regis won the championship in diving. She was able to produce 540.305 points to outdistance runner-up Indiya Williams of Eaglecrest (474.15) and third-place finisher, her teammate, Kellyn Toole (468.55).

Winning is fun for Valor swimmer Stenstrom captures second straight state crown in 50 freestyle By Jim Benton

Valor Christian junior Brooke Stenstrom had fun Feb. 14 during the Class 4A State Swimming Championships at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. Stenstrom entered the finals as the defending 50- and 100-yard freestyle champion. She won her second state title in the 50 freestyle and set a new state record, but was second to Thompson Valley’s Eryn Eddy, who established a state mark in winning the 100 freestyle. “I went out to have fun and be with my teammates and hopefully swim fast,” said Stenstrom. “Eryn Eddy is so amazing. She’s such a great swimmer especially in the 100. I’m so proud of her and her new state record. It was a great day. I had so much fun.” Strenstrom swam a 50.41 in the 100 free but Eddy set a new state record with a 50.08

time. However in the 50-yard freestyle, Strenstrom’s 23.43 clocking in the 50-yard freestyle was a new standard, breaking the previous record of 23.60 set by Marjorie Driscoll of Niwot in 2014. The Colorado state record is 22.41 set by Missy Franklin of Regis Jesuit in 2011. “It was something that I had been hoping for for a long time,” She said. “To finally get it was a dream come true.” Strenstrom saw the anchor leg on two relays. The Eagles came in second in the 200yard medley relay but Brook Landt, Madison Hoehn, Raili Carter and Strenstrom were the state champs in the 200-yard freestyle relay in a time of 1:36.84. “We were a little disappointed after the first relay so we said, you know what, it’s time to go out and get it in the next one,” recalled Strenstrom. “We just gave it our all.” Valor finished third in the team standings behind Cheyenne Mountain and champion Evergreen. “That means so much to us,” said Strenstrom. “That’s the highest we’ve ever placed. It shows how much hard work and time that went into it. We’re all so blessed and happy we had the opportunity to come out and do this.”

Valor freshman Abbey Owenby was sixth in the 500 freestyle finishing just ahead of Ponderosa’s Danielle Fournier. Landt was sixth in the 50 freestyle and Hoehn, a sophomore, was sixth in the 100-yard butterfly. “This team is incredible,” said Valor coach and Brooke’s mother Lori Strenstrom. “The backing that they all have for each other is amazing and that’s what enabled us to have some of those fast runs. I’m thrilled. They swam beyond what they believed was capable. I knew they were capable but beyond what they though was capable.” Strenstrom also had time to reflect on her daughter’s performance. “I am so pleased with how Brooke did,” she said. “She had some incredible swims for her. It’s hard to repeat as a state champion but she really stepped up and let the energy of her teammates carry her. It was awesome. She’s a woman of great faith. “The state record was high on her list and I’m so proud of her. She had gone under it earlier in the season but I guess it only counts at state. I’m so happy for her. At this young stage of your career it’s nice when you can have some different milestones and that was an important one.”

overall and 7-0 in the league after the Feb. 10 win while Regis was 19-1, 6-1. Regis scored just 2 points in the second quarter as the Grizzlies grabbed an 8-point halftime lead. “We did play good defense, similar to what we’ve done,” Ortiz said. “They just couldn’t score in the second quarter. They shot a lot of contested shots and did have a few turnovers but the second quarter was the separation. I agree with coach (Regis coach Ken) Shaw’s comment that in the second half they had to change their attack a little bit.” Regis made a run early in the third period but fell behind by 11 after three quarters and managed only 5 points in the fourth. “In the fourth quarter they went to real tight man and trying to deny everything and we got them on a backdoor play and a couple plays like that and then they had to foul us,” said Ortiz. “The score dictated the fourth quarter.” Zach Pirog, ThunderRidge’s 6-foot-10 senior center, clogged the middle defensively and scored a game-high 16 points with 14 rebounds and three

blocked shots. Noah Szilagyi had 14 points and Elias Tiedgen finish with 10 points. ThunderRidge shot 50 percent from the field for the game and outrebounded the Raiders 37-18. “Elias Tiedgen was our leading scorer last year and he is not scoring as much this year because we have balanced scoring but he is a lock-down defender,” said Ortiz. “He’s the one that got Noah open on two of his four 3-pointers and he’s the one that fed Zach a couple times.” ThunderRidge concluded the regular season with games Feb. 13 against Ponderosa, Feb. 17 at Chaparral and Feb. 20 against Mountain Vista. The victory over Regis left the Grizzlies with a lot of confidence about gaining a top seed for the state playoffs. “It just makes us believe that we’re doing the right stuff,” Ortiz said. “The Regis win still doesn’t win the league for us. It gives us a little more creditability state wise. It puts us in a position to be a one seed. But we have to win out to do that. I still think Regis is a one seed so I don’t think it hurts them. It gives us more confidence but our league is tough.”

Surrounded by Ponderosa defenders Jesse Bradshaw (23) and Stephen Aiken (11), Zach Pirog (33) of ThunderRidge still manages to get off the shot Feb.13. Pirog had 16 points in the 65-43 victory for ThunderRidge, three days after the Grizzlies routed top-ranked Regis Jesuit. Photo by Paul DiSalvo

BE INVOLVED GIVE – The B.I.G. Day 2015

Area nonprofits and hundreds of Chamber volunteers working together or joining forces makes for a good mix…. and that’s the goal for the 5th Annual B.I.G Day, set for Saturday, April 25th from 8:30 – 12:00. B.I.G stands for “Be Involved, Give.” The motivation for this event, sponsored

by the South Metro Denver Chamber’s Nonprofit & Business Partnership Committee, is to provide assistance to member nonprofits by introducing them to the people and businesses that live and work in their communities. Last year’s B.I.G. Day volunteers did everything from planting the community garden at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, to trail clean-up with the South Suburban Park Foundation to sorting and loading medical supplies with Project CURE. Many projects allow young children to help when accompanied by an adult - a great way to teach community involvement. Slots for non-profits to take part in this year’s event are filling up fast. Those

interested in participating, please contact Laurian Horowitz, Laurian@ColoradoLiveLessons.com. Who can volunteer? Companies & businesses, their staff, friends, family, and kids! Everyone can participate. In addition, community organizations (schools, churches, sports teams) and individuals are all encouraged. What type of volunteer activities will be offered? There are many options to choose from, including office/administration work, painting, light repairs/ improvements Volunteers will be able to select projects they want to work on. For more information about The B.I.G. Day visit South Metro Denver Chamber event page at www.bestchamber.com

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know.
