Wish Week off to rousing start Rock Canyon event benefits Parker elementary student By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rock Canyon High School kicked off its annual Wish Week with a rally so loud and spirited it astounded the Wish Week family. “We’re just overwhelmed,” said Jennifer Griffin, whose son Jeremy was chosen as this year’s Rock Canyon Wish Week child. Jeremy, who has been diagnosed with lymphoma, is a 7-year-old Mountain View Elementary School student who lives in Parker with his parents and sister Natalie. All were in attendance for the opening rally of RCHS’ Wish Week, which launches seven days of student-led events to raise money designed to grant Jeremy’s wish and that of other children. Jeremy’s wish is to go on a Disney cruise. RCHS has repeatedly shattered national records with its weeklong Make-A-Wish Colorado fundraiser. Last year, it raised $72,500 as part of the foundation’s Kids for Wish Kids program, eclipsing its previous record 2013 tally of $60,500. Teacher Tony Koy reminded the students the week isn’t a competition. “This week is about what we can give to somebody else,” he said. Students in matching blue Wish Week T-shirts cheered and stamped in unison during the assembly, shaking the gymnasium bleachers so hard they made principal Andy Abner cheerfully nervous. Jennifer Griffin frequently dabbed at her eyes and Jeremy smiled as a video about his diagnosis and generous spirit played during the assembly. “I super hate cancer,” Jeremy said during the video. The week’s events include benefit dinners at area restaurants, a dodgeball tournament and fashion show, concluding with the Feb. 27 closing assembly and check presentation. Jeremy will be there for several of the events. Wish continues on Page 12
This summer, Sharon Porter finally will get to grow squash. Her Lone Tree yard doesn’t have enough room for the space-hungry vegetables, whose vines sprawl for several feet. But the plot she anticipates tilling in Lone Tree’s community garden will. Construction at the Lone Tree Elementary School site begins soon, with a planned May grand opening of the 30-plot garden. Porter, a member of the city’s community garden committee, is also a nutritionist. So her anticipation about the new city amenity stems from personal and professional reasons. “I’m thrilled for my own purposes but at the community level, too, to encourage people to be more connected with the earth, get to know their food up close, eat more vegetables and really think about their health from a nutrition standpoint,” she said. Grocery store vegetables often taste bland, Porter said, because they’re shipped before they’re ripe, artificially

Pete Roozing wanted a dramatic change of pace from his career as an insurance company accountant. So last spring, he signed up for the Lone Tree Citizen’s Police Academy and learned how to drive a police car, analyze a crime scene and handle a gun. “It was an entirely different world than what I was used to,” said Roozing, a Lone Tree resident. “I’d always had an interest in law enforcement and it was fascinating.” Now retired, Roozing is training to become a member of Lone Tree’s Volunteers in Police Service, and will assist with the upcoming citizen academy. It’s an experience he recommends to everyone, though he cheerfully admits he didn’t do well in the Range 3000 exercise — a computerized firearms simulator that requires participants to make quick decisions about using deadly force in a variety of realistic scenarios. “I think I died a couple of times,” Roozing said, laughing. “It wasn’t a good thing for me. “You see these guys on the street, Police continues on Page 12

A moving performance Staff report It’s the Year of the Sheep, and about 580 people braved a snowy, cold weekend to celebrate the Chinese New Year on Feb. 21. The Great Wall Chinese Academy, which has about 80 students, ages preschool to high school, said Mei Cheng, the school’s founder, put on two hour-long performances on stage at the Southridge Recreation Center in Highlands Ranch. The show opened with the popular lion and dragon dance when costumed dancers went up and down the aisles, interacting with the excited audience. Attendees of the celebration also enjoyed the cultural fair in which traditional Chinese food and refreshments, and handmade Chinese arts and crafts such as calligraphy and origami, were available for viewing and purchasing. The following are some fun facts on Chinese New Year: • In Western cultures, it is known as the Chinese New Year, but in China, it is known as the Spring Festival. The history dates back more than 4,000 years, and today, it is celebrated as an eight-
day, official holiday in China. • The actual date of the celebration varies, as it falls on the first day of the first month based on the Chinese lunar calendar. In 2015, Chinese New Year began on Feb. 19 and will end on March 5. • The calendar is associated with the Chinese zodiac, which includes 12 animals that represent a 12-year cycle. The animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. This year is the Year of the Sheep/Goat. • A person is a sheep/goat if born in 1907, 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015. The sheep/goat zodiac sign is thought to be among the animals that people like because of its gentle and calm demeanor. It is thought to be a lucky animal that brings positive energy in the universe. Main strengths of the sheep/goat are politeness, cleverness and kind-heartedness. Main weaknesses are moodiness, shyness and indecisiveness.

School leaders continue capital-needs outreach District gathering feedback on resolving building issues By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District has reached out to more than 40 community groups in the last few weeks about its long and growing list of capital improvement needs. The district is soliciting feedback to guide it in finding the best way to finance the more than $275 million in work needed over the next five years. “Our buildings are safe, but our systems are aging,” DCSD construction project manager Annette Ernst told the Lone Tree City Council Feb. 17. The average school district building is 19 years old. The oldest is Douglas County High School in Castle Rock at 53 years old.
Of its 84 school district facilities, 42 percent are deemed in need of significant capital improvements, with five categorized at “high risk of component failure.” Components are the major parts of a building’s infrastructure system, and include mechanical chillers, boilers, fire alarm systems, elevators, roofs and transformers, among other high-dollar items. Just 27 facilities are considered in good condition, according to DCSD. The schools with the highest level of estimated need are all high schools, and include Chaparral and Ponderosa in Parker, Castle Rock’s Douglas County, and Highlands Ranch, Mountain Vista and ThunderRidge in Highlands Ranch. But that’s mainly because the high schools are so much larger than the district’s other buildings. “Our typical high schools have approximately 250,000 square feet as compared to a typical elementary school with 54,000 square feet,” district spokeswoman Paula Hans wrote in an email. “There is also much more infrastructure in the
building components of a high school than at an elementary school. Thus, there is a lot more capital to renew at our high schools since they are larger.” DCSD sees the need for an addition to Castle View High School, more preschool rooms and construction of a special education facility. Many of its 300 school buses have logged more than 400,000 miles, and several are more than two decades old. Rapidly changing technology and fire and safety requirements require nearconstant investment and upgrades. And the current student population of about 64,000 is expected to double by 2040. Among its options, DCSD could ask taxpayers to continue a mill levy that otherwise would expire this year. If voters approved the proposal, their school tax bill would remain unchanged instead of dropping by about $36 a year. “It’s a unique option in which you could issue up to about $220 million in new bonds without impacting the tax bill
for the average homeowner,” said DCSD budget director Scott Smith. The district is considering other options as well, and will present feedback from its recent meetings to the school board in April. School board president Kevin Larsen said the board hasn’t yet focused on a preferred approach. “We’ll be checking in with long-range planning, finding out the feedback and determining what the pulse is out there,” he said. Members of DCSD’s Long Range Planning Committee have for years warned the board about deteriorating conditions in its buildings, and say the $275 million in unfunded capital needs grows by $35 million each year the issues aren’t addressed. If DCSD opts to put a question to voters, it would appear on the Nov. 3 ballot, along with questions to elect three school board members. The current terms of Larsen, Craig Richardson and Rich Robbins expire in November.
Republicans move pro-fracking measure ahead of report Senate bill would bring penalties on local governments that limit drilling By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press
Republicans in Colorado’s Senate advanced a pro-fracking measure Feb. 20 that makes a statement in advance of a long-awaited report on new limits on the oil and gas industry. The Senate bill would penalize local governments that limit drilling procedures, especially hydraulic fracturing, or
fracking. When a government makes a mineral owner’s underground property less valuable, the government should pay the owner, Republicans said. “People have a right to be compensated,” said Sen. John Cooke, R-Greeley. Democrats opposed the measure, which faces almost certain defeat in the Democratic House. They argued that if mineral owners are owed money for fracking bans, then surface property owners should be owed money, too, if drilling near their homes diminishes property value. “It’s a dangerous place,” said Sen. Michael Johnston, D-Denver.
Drilling has been the elephant in the room this session, with lawmakers avoiding the divisive topic until the release next week of a task force report on the dilemma. The task force was set up to broker compromise between the oil and gas industry and critics who say cities and counties should be free to place strict limits on drilling practices. For the last few years, lawmakers have tried and failed to agree on giving local communities more say in drilling regulations. Democrats expressed optimism that the task force would bring suggestions to make both sides happy. “Hopefully, the task force will
come up with something real, said Sen. Matt Jones, D-Louisville. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who has sided with the energy industry against local fracking bans, assembled the group last year to avoid ballot measures on the question. The task force submits recommendations to lawmakers Feb. 27. The GOP penalty bill won preliminary approval on a partisan voice vote. One more formal vote is required this week before the measure moves to the House, which has repeatedly rejected similar measures in the past.

Colorado residents are first to ask feds to block legal pot Owners of a horse farm and a hotel sue the state By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press
Colorado already is being sued by two neighboring states for legalizing marijuana. Now, the state faces groundbreaking lawsuits from its own residents, who are asking a federal judge to order the new recreational industry to close. The owners of a mountain hotel and a southern Colorado horse farm argue in a pair of lawsuits filed Feb. 19 in U.S. District Court in Denver that the 2012 marijuanalegalization measure has hurt their property and that the marijuana industry is stinky and attracts unsavory visitors. The lawsuits are the first in a state that has legalized recreational or medical marijuana in which its own residents are appealing to the federal government to block pot laws. “It is a bedrock principle of the Unit-
ed States Constitution that federal law is the supreme law of the land,’’ said David Thompson, a lawyer representing the plaintiffs. The lawsuits are also the first to claim that federal racketeering laws allow them to win damages from pot businesses that flout federal law. The plaintiffs have not specified amounts they would seek. Experts say the racketeering approach is a new one. “If these lawsuits are successful, it could be devastating for the industry,” said Sam Kamin, a University of Denver law professor who helped craft Colorado’s pot regulations. “But it will be very difficult for the plaintiffs to prove damages directly attributable to the marijuana industry.” Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman released a statement saying she would “defend the state’s marijuana laws and our clients” if the lawsuits go to trial. Marijuana legalization supporters say that states are free to stop enforcing certain drug laws, as long as they don’t try to overrule the federal Controlled Substances Act. “Colorado has every right to stop pun-
ishing adults for using marijuana,” said Mason Tvert, who ran Colorado’s legalization campaign and joined about a dozen other legalization supporters who marched to the state Capitol on Feb. 19. They carried signs saying, “Regulation Works!” One legalization backer, Democratic state Rep. Jonathan Singer, said the pot industry has boosted tax coffers and hurt the black market. “The sky hasn’t fallen. We’re doing the right thing,” Singer said. Technically, federal law making pot illegal for any purpose remains in effect in the 23 states that have authorized its use for people with certain medical conditions. However, it’s not clear how far the federal government can go to compel states to enforce drug laws. For nearly 20 years, the U.S. Department of Justice has said that marijuana is illegal and that the federal government can enforce even small-possession crimes. However, U.S. authorities have left most enforcement to the states, saying they focus on larger drug crimes. One of the lawsuits came from the owner
of a Pueblo County horse farm, Hope Reilly, who said she’s “been horrified” to see a marijuana cultivation facility go up next door. “This land means a great deal to me,” said Reilly, who says the pot facility mars “spectacular views” of the Rocky Mountains. Also suing is the owner of a Holiday Inn, who argues that a pot shop opening nearby is keeping away families. “Marijuana businesses make bad neighbors,” the lawsuit says. “They drive away legitimate businesses’ customers, emit pungent, foul odors, attract undesirable visitors, increase criminal activity, increase traffic, and reduce property values.” Nebraska and Oklahoma also are suing Colorado for legalizing marijuana in 2012. Nine former heads of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration filed a brief Thursday with the U.S. Supreme Court supporting the two states. Colorado’s pot law “impinges on the interests of all citizens and the United States in a uniform and coherent national drug policy,” the brief says.

states and four countries, filling area hotels. “All indications are there’s enough interest from around the country and this one received such good response, that it’s taken off,” Lone Tree Police Chief Jeff Streeter told the city council during its Feb. 17 meeting. “We no sooner got done with this than the phones were ringing. There’s so much of this going on around the country, folks are honestly in need of it.” Discussions about a follow-up event in the fall are very preliminary, Streeter said. Lone Tree and its arts center made a universally good impression on the attendees. “This really was a benchmark for Lone Tree,” Streeter said. “We got to show off what we have to offer.” Registered participants included a large contingent from Alaska, where voters late in 2014 approved the legalization of mari-
juana. About 60 presenters led workshops focusing on home grow operations, concentrates and edibles, driving stoned, data collection, economic impacts and state and federal regulations, among other issues. Streeter thanked LTAC rental coordinator Stacie Cisco and the city’s special events coordinator Lesley Johnson for pulling the conference together within a tight time frame. Despite the unusual nature of the event, councilmembers said they, too, were pleased. “When we built that building, I honestly never thought it would be used for that,” Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet said, laughing. Mayor Jim Gunning agreed it was a successful event, “Even though I didn’t like the title.”

Sertoma event celebrates freedom Young people honored for thoughtful essays By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Who better to talk about love of freedom and country than “Herbie the Love Judge”? Former Denver County Court Judge Herbert Galchinsky is known for being a prolific wedding officiant, presiding over as many as 70 a year and more than 2,000 throughout his career. But on Feb. 17, he took some time out to preside over the 2015 Sertoma Freedom Week Awards Luncheon at Pinehurst Country Club, praising the eighth-grade essay winners for expressing themselves so articulately. “Sometimes we take freedom for granted,” he told them. “Don’t take it for granted. Work hard to preserve it. Freedom, to me, means choosing your own destiny, and these young people are off to a good start.” Twenty-seven middle-schoolers from throughout central Colorado and the Front Range, sponsored by the region’s 13 Sertoma Clubs, were invited to attend the “win-
ners circle” luncheon. They earned plaques and $100 each for their freedom-themed essays. “The purpose of Freedom Week is to involve our community in a celebration of liberty, the central concept of our nation’s historical beginning,” reads the event program. “We strive to promote an awareness of how our lives have been enriched by the premise of freedom.” Jayla Barnes from Thunder Ridge Middle School in Aurora and Karmelle Dindinger from Euclid Middle School in Littleton netted an extra $200 each for claiming the top honors. “Freedom is an amazing privilege,” wrote Barnes. “It means everything from voting to standing up to what I firmly believe in. … I can practice my religious beliefs without worrying about being brutally tortured.” Barnes said she would likely use her winnings to pay for ballet classes, another passion. “I’m just really proud of all the hard work she does at school, and it’s nice for her to be recognized,” said her mom, Natalie. Dindinger, the daughter of former Centennial City Councilmember Rick Dindinger, also wrote about faith in her essay.
Karmelle Dindinger accepts her Freedom Week essay award from Ken Kelley, the governor of Sertoma’s Front Range District, during a ceremony at Pinehurst Country Club on Feb. 17. Photo by Jennifer Smith “Freedom is when I can pray and minister to others, or deny and ignore by choice,” she wrote. Hers was another proud mom. “I’m very proud of her working hard at
school, and to do her best at everything she does,” said Kristi Dindinger. “I just hope I was able to reach people by talking about freedom of religion practices,” said her daughter.

Dreaming of hoops, sure as shootin’ Looking at me now, you would never guess that I played basketball. Looking at me now, you would never guess that I played anything. Maybe the radio. I am not trying to make a favorable impression. I just want to remind myself now and then that I wasn’t always a potato standing in front of an easel, or a potato working on a computer. This occurred to me when I read that Lonnie Porter, head basketball coach at Regis University for 38 years, is retiring. The article tells about his first basketball — it had laces — and the outdoor playing conditions in the winter in Indianapolis. As we get closer to March Madness, it just seems like I could use a little reminiscing. My sister was a high school cheerleader, and dated the star on the basketball team. My sister was a senior, and Rich was a sophomore, so there was talk. I was a junior, and desperately wanted to make the varsity in my senior year. Here’s a spoiler alert: I was the last player cut. The summer before my senior year, Rich did everything he could to improve my game. He drove us all over metro Cincinnati for pickup games with some of the city’s best players. I still hold on to that summer, 1964, with affection. Have you ever been to Cincinnati in
the summertime? It’s unpleasant. My least favorite weather is humidity. Are you good at something, but not very good or great? I was a good basketball player. After I was cut, I captained a team in a Sunday league, and was the league’s leading scorer. So what? It was like winning first prize at the state fair for my pigeon. But it’s a yellowed clipping that still makes me smile. I played intramurals at UCLA, where the intramural teams were exceptionally good. I loved basketball. Not as much now. The pro game not at all, and some of what I don’t like about the pros has made it down to the college level, but not all the way. Pro basketball is a lot like rugby. And dunks seem to be a big deal too often. My father was his school’s captain. Final scores would be 28-15 and 21-17. There was no such thing as a jump shot. He shot free throws underhanded, like everyone else. Much later, Wilt Chamberlain would do the same thing.
We are nearing March Madness, and it is more fun than just about anything in sports. It makes the college football playoffs and all of those ridiculous bowl games seem a little unfulfilling. My team won’t make it into the tournament this year, so I will choose another one. The neat thing is that it only takes five guys, not 22. So smaller schools, like Northern Iowa, have a chance. That can’t happen in football. One year a little school from Terre Haute, Ind., that no one had heard of, and really hasn’t been heard from since, made it all the way to the national championship game. It’s was “Hoosiers” before “Hoosiers.” (By the way, the kid who played Jimmy Chitwood, Maris Valainis, in “Hoosiers,” was cut each of the three times he tried out for his high school team.) I wore Converse All-Stars, because that’s all we had. They were white. When my father was playing, all they had was black. And our shorts looked like tighty boxers. If you’re old enough to remember: The little school from Terre Haute was Indiana State. They had a player named Bird. “Three, 2, 1, Smith from the corner. Scores!” In my sweetest dreams.

Leading by example is powerful If you are like me, you really enjoy it when you can see a leader leading by example. There are some who lead their families, others lead companies or teams, and still others lead communities, organizations, and associations. And yet the ones we seem to respect the most are NOT the ones who lead from afar, or give direction from the ivory tower; the ones we seem to gravitate towards are the leaders who lead from the front. In my line of work I have been truly blessed to have worked for leaders, coaches and trainers who have led by example. Men and women of character and integrity who wouldn’t ask others to do anything that they weren’t prepared to do themselves. I honestly believe that I would not have achieved success in both my personal life or my professional life had it not been for the leaders in the companies I worked for, the leaders who worked with me when I was the CEO or president, the leaders in my church, and the leaders in my community. And I say thank you to each one of them. So as you can see, I have a great appreciation for active, intentional leadership. If you are into history, one leader who led from the front, truly led by example, comes to mind: George Washington. If you haven’t read any of the books written about him, the book “1776” by David McCullough
is a great place to start. But I digress, so let me get back to our story. As I said, one of my very favorite things to observe is when managers, leaders, business owners, fathers, mothers, or others who are in a leadership role lead by example and we get to see it and witness their behavior. If we are smart enough, we may even try and emulate that behavior. And I have a recent story I would like to share with you about someone who truly leads by example. Her name is Nina Hinnendael. I happened to be skiing in Beaver Creek and had the opportunity to see for myself how Nina worked and led by example. She is a manager of a couple of “on-mountain” restaurants and actually the one person who inspired the Candy Cabin at the top of the Strawberry Park lift, chair 12 in Beaver Creek. Her attitude, smile, and work ethic speak for themselves. And as I sat there as a patron I was so impressed by the fact that
even as a leader and a manager, she was cleaning tables, greeting customers, socializing with guests, and directing her staff all at the same time, and I asked her permission to write this column. You see I am also a leader. I have a staff, I work in my community, I volunteer, and I get so caught up in my responsibilities I often forget that I should also be leading by example and manage and lead like Nina, doing some more of the heavy lifting. Now, if we focus on you, yes you, you the business owner, you the vice president, you the venture capitalist, you the manager, you the leader of your family, are you leading by example or are you relying solely on what you accomplished in the past? That is one of the challenges that we have, managers and leaders who have met with success but have forgotten what got us there in the first place … hard work, character, and effort. And we know that talent without effort breeds mediocrity. How about you? Are you a Nina? Do you lead from the front and by example? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we remember what leadership is all about, it really will be a better than good week.

Construction-defects bill is needed fix Colorado is uniquely positioned to capitalize on numerous economic advantages that have lowered our unemployment rate, seen strong growth in several identified sectors and generated more than 70,000 new jobs in 2014, while the forecast for this year continues to trend upward. While economists predict a 2.5 percent growth rate for 2015, we are faced with an immense issue — skyrocketing housing costs. A recent analysis by Zillow showed renters would need to make $35 an hour to stay within the rule of thumb regarding share of housing costs to annual income. Denver is a desirable city for millennials who bring ideas, innovation, creativity and passion to the workplace. Our housing costs and lack of diversity threaten the very fabric of attainable and affordable options. As a leading statewide business organization, the Colorado Business Roundtable understands how important providing attainable housing is to community build-
ing. COBRT will be unabashedly relentless in our support of options that allow our first responders, teachers, and business community to not only work but also live within our cities and communities. We also have many seniors who desire to live near their children and grandkids who need lower-maintenance properties. Colorado’s construction-defects law passed in 2001 and has undergone several amendments since. Most cite the changes
passed in 2003 and 2007 that have caused owner-occupied, multi-family housing to shrink from 23 percent of the marketplace to 3.1 percent in 2014. While we can spend a lot of time looking at what got us to where we are today, we do not prefer to look in the rearview mirror but find creative, bipartisan, pragmatic ways to fix this issue. Senate Bill 177 is a bipartisan repair or fix in both the House and Senate that has done exactly what needed to happen: stakeholders sitting down and listening to all parties and learning from proposed legislation the past two years. The COBRT is proud to be a part of the Homeowner Opportunity Alliance, a large, diverse coalition of business leaders, trade associations, chambers of commerce and community leaders. The Colorado Business Roundtable strongly feels that homeowner rights Wasden continues on Page 9

Deer saved after falling through ice South Metro firefighters ‘lassoed’ buck around neck By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com

and protections will not be weakened or restricted by the passage of SB177. Senate Bill 177 ensures that construction issues within a condo or townhouse community are not only addressed fairly and quickly but take into account the rights of homeowners and respect the members of the association community. While every homeowner deserves the right to have, in most cases, their biggest investment protected and repaired in the case of an issue, SB177 stops the current practice in which a small number of owners — often a simple majority of a homeowners association board — can enter into legal action without the knowledge or authorization of the majority of homeowners. There are cases where homeowners have transferred or attempted to refinance their home and been told, much to their surprise, that they cannot because of pending legal action. This is not only egregious but morally wrong, in our view. According to state Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, SB177 differs from previous legislation in that it adds language requiring mandatory mediation and arbitration prior to filing a construction defects claim. This dispute resolution, as a way to repair or cure issues prior to initiating a lawsuit, creates a more favorable market for insurers, who cite the threat of litigation as a primary driver for the high cost of insuring owner-occupied,
A deer that fell through thin ice east of Parker got a second chance at life thanks to a crew of fast-moving firefighters. The young buck fell into a pond on private property on Pine Cone Road and Summit Road, near Inspiration Drive, on Feb. 5. By the time South Metro Fire Rescue firefighters from station 47 arrived at the scene, the deer had been in the icy pond for an estimated 30 minutes and was struggling to keep its head above water, said Becky O’Guin, public information officer for South Metro. First-responders typically cut a path through the ice to establish an escape route
multi-family housing options. Alternative dispute resolution is a legally enforceable, effective, less costly way and — just as important — a less time-consuming method of resolving disputes. We want to stress the importance of creating a workable resolution process that is fair to homeowners. One that protects their rights, which fosters conditions that will allow the building of diverse and affordable housing options, and encourages new developments near light rail and transit stations. The Colorado Business Roundtable values the importance of community — one made of not only first-time home buyers and the millennial generation that brings so much creativity and enthusiasm but also seniors, firefighters, law enforcement and great workers in manufacturing, energy, technology and health sciences. Locally, communities like Lakewood and Parker have passed ordinances to create a local remedy to encourage or spur needed development within the multi-family, owner-occupied space. While we are appreciative of their efforts and successes, this is an area where our elected leaders at the state level need to step up and ensure the passage of SB177. From the House and Senate sponsors to leadership and the rank and file dedicated servant leaders, there is broad-based bipartisan support. Please reach out to your legislator and encourage him or her to support the passage of this important economic and community-building legislation. Jeff Wasden, a Highlands Ranch resident, is president of the Colorado Business Roundtable. He can be reached at jwasden@cobrt.com.
to the shore, but because the deer was tiring quickly, time was running out, and the firefighters “lassoed him and pulled him” on top of the ice, O’Guin said. “He was not doing very well,” she said. “They used blankets provided by a homeowner to dry and warm the patient.” The pond is between 5 feet and 7 feet deep, enough that the deer could not touch the bot-
tom. The crew at station 47 has since received an email from neighbors who said they’ve seen the buck with its herd, O’Guin said. Due to intermittent spurts of warm weather, several similar incidents have occurred in Colorado this winter, but with tragic results. A herd of elk drowned late last year after falling through thin ice near Pagosa Springs in southern Colorado.

Woman loses memory after skiing accident College student from Parker readjusting after brain injury By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A woman from Parker is putting the pieces back together after a skiing accident left her unable to recall two months of her life. Brittney Bulawa, a 2014 graduate of Chaparral High School, was skiing with her brother, Josh, on the final day of their winter break in early January when they decided to find some out-of-bounds powder at Loveland Ski Area. Bulawa was behind her brother, who was wearing headphones, when something terrible happened. She just doesn’t remember what. Bulawa, 19, lost consciousness after hitting her head on a tree or rock. Her helmet was badly damaged and both skis had flown off. The powder was so deep that getting to her feet would have been an ordeal. But Bulawa lay there as her brother waited for her at the bottom. Her phone went unanswered. He then retraced the path they took, but could not locate his sister. A search-and-rescue team was called out. Whether by a twist of fate or divine intervention, a fellow skier happened upon Bulawa in the trees and summoned help. She was slipping in and out of consciousness and mumbling incoherently. Her 17-year-old brother was already worried, but was overcome with emotion when he saw her brought down the hill, wrapped snugly in a toboggan behind a member of the ski patrol. The paramedics asked Bulawa the typical questions: What’s your name? What year is it? Who is the president? She answered them all correctly and was allowed to ride with her brother back down to Parker. It wasn’t until later, when she returned home after a battery of scans at Sky Ridge Medical Center, that Bulawa scrolled through photos on her phone and realized
Siblings Josh and Brittney Bulawa, of Parker, were together when Brittney crashed out of bounds and lost consciousness at Loveland Ski Area in January. She lost more than two months of memories preceding the accident, but is now back in school. Courtesy photo found me if not for that (person),” she says. Bulawa has learned a valuable lesson from the accident and its aftermath. It was a sobering reality check and one that, ideally, she won’t forget. She lost the “invincible”
feeling that some young people carry. “Everything can be taken from you in a minute,” she said. “As much journaling and photos as I do, it can be gone in the blink of an eye.”

Then I looked at the next picture from the next day, and I have no idea about anything, where we were.” Panic-stricken, Bulawa consulted with neurologists who told her that short-term memory loss was not completely uncommon with traumatic brain injuries and that some memories might return. She has since regained snippets of Christmas Day with her family. Bulawa has had four or five concussions from playing sports, but never experienced memory loss. Bulawa, who was president of her class at Chaparral, feared that she would not be able to make new memories. She was cleared by doctors before returning to classes at Gonzaga. Since then, she has been playing catch-up in Spanish class, rereading parts of books she has already studied, and taken longer to complete school assignments. Her professors have been made aware of her accident and are accommodating her needs. Outside of surviving the accident, there have been some unexpected upsides to the injury. Bulawa was able to listen to the new Taylor Swift album for the first time — twice. And despite attending every home game for her beloved Gonzaga Bulldogs hoops squad since the Nov. 1 start of their season, Bulawa was elated to learn that they have played their way to No. 3 in the nation. Most of all, she is grateful for the support of family, friends, faith community, and one unidentified stranger: the skier who found her lying semi-conscious out of bounds. Bulawa doesn’t recall the person’s face and doesn’t know his or her name. Being in the trees and out of bounds, Bulawa knows how fortunate she was. “I honestly don’t know if they would have

ripened or for other reasons. That added to the cost deters some people from eating more of them. “Gardening helps in all those departments,” she said. “When people grow vegetables themselves, they love them, and it deepens their appreciation of fresh food and vegetables in particular.” Gardening also provides a healthy change of scene for those who spend their working days in front of computers. “It gets us outside in the sunshine, gets our fingers and toes in the dirt and really connecting with nature,” Porter said. “I think there’s a real spiritual component to gardening.” The city plans to reserve one lot for a veteran, who will not have to pay an annual fee, and at least two for Lone Tree Elementary School students. The garden’s construction is being paid for from a mix of sources, including donations of $5,000 each from Safeway, Bellco Credit Union and the University of Colorado Hospital, and a $6,000 City of Lone Tree contribution. Though councilmembers predict demand for the plots quickly will exceed supply, they’re happy to see the project bearing fruit. They congratulated senior planner Jennifer Drybread for her work on the project. “Various people over the years have said we need a community garden, yet it never went anyplace,” said Councilmember Harold Anderson. “Finally, when council heard from enough people, we put you in charge, and now we see the results.” Denver Urban Gardens is working with the city on design, construction, fundraising and management of the new site.
and you always wonder what do they do and how do they do it. (I learned) they have a tough job to do. Listening to the officers, it was very apparent to me they are really concerned for our community and do the best they can to keep us safe. That really impressed me.” The Lone Tree Police Department will kick off another Citizen’s Police Academy at 6 p.m. March 19. The academy is a free, 10-week class that gives participants a taste of police life and a better understanding of a law enforcement officer’s training and daily routine. Twenty different instructors, about half of Lone Tree’s police force, are participating in this spring’s academy. Participants will get to drive a police car on a police training course, meet SWAT officers, watch K9 demonstrations, visit the shoot house and participate in the Range 3000 computerized firearms simulation. “We’ll also have a full-day mini CSI, where we’ll put together a crime scene with fake blood and actors,” said officer Jason Rogers. Participants will solve the crime “based off the crime scene and witness statements.” Most sessions are held on Thursday evenings. The academy also includes three Saturday events and plans a May 15 graduation. Participants must fill out an application, pass a background check and be at least 18.

Whereas a tween wants her peers to see how cool she looks in her brand-new shirt with the Hello Kitty logo. Girls between the ages of 9 and 12 go through a lot in these tween years, SmithRacanelli said, as they transition from being a little girl to a teen. They start puberty, go from elementary school to middle school, and friend issues, and the drama around that, begins to take center stage, she said.

Ken d a l l sa y s:
What is the hardest part about being a tween girl?
De b i sa ys: What is the hardest part about raising a tween girl?
You feel like your parents are still treating you like a little kid, but you don’t want to be treated that way, so you try to not be controlled.
Finding the balance of letting her grow up and start to find her own way, but making sure that you’re still involved and able to support her growth.
What are girls most challenged with in their tween years?
What are parents most challenged with in a tween daughter?
Looking and acting cool for peers. Cool for tweens is people looking up to you and wanting to be your friend. They see the older kids having fun and hanging out together and they kind of want that, so they try to act like them, thinking all their peers will think of them as cool. Should a parent worry if they feel their tween is either too immature or too mature? I think parents should worry more if their tween is more immature than her peers, because she has more of a chance of getting bullied for it. Why is it important to pay attention to tweens? Now, with all the technology and social media, some of the things that people post are just awful and inappropriate. Parents are oblivious to that. They might not realize that people would put certain things on social media. If the parents are aware, then it’s easier for them to stop it, and stop their kids from seeing it.
When people have kids in elementary school, they have to be super-vigilant because they require a lot of supervision. Parents of tweens sometimes make the mistake of giving them too much freedom, rather than making that transition with them. Should a parent worry if they feel their tween is either too immature or too mature? Yes. If a tween is too immature, I would worry that the immaturity would allow them to be too easily influenced. If they’re too mature, I would worry that they’re at risk of becoming involved with things they are definitely not ready for. Why is it important to pay attention to tweens? Parents are not aware of all the influences that surround tweens — from the negative media content to the kids talking about drugs and alcohol to the crazy amount of stuff they see on YouTube and social media. Even if their kids aren’t involved in those things, I think parents would be shocked at just how much their kids are actually exposed to.

In 2010, it won the able.Pulitzer Prize for Drama. d at It is sensitively directed by the Henry Award-winning Nick Sugar, who again shows his expertise in telling a demanding story. In his notes, he quotes New York Times critic Ben Brantley, who observed: “It is something much more than a feel-good musical; it is a feel everything musical.” the “Next to Normal” explores the dynamics of a suburban ddle/ household that is coping with the mental illness of the r 12mother, Diana. The mix of great love and ongoing response 8-20 to crisis keeps the audience on edge throughout the pro9-20. duction. ction But that audience is also treated to a really beautiful ancscore and thoughtful lyrics. The script illustrates the unk will evenness of the day-to-day life of everyone affected, but ister:particularly the rough time Diana has trying to hold herself together for her family.

Ethan Knowles is eventempered and lovable as her stoner boyfriend, while Josh Bess has the difficult role of brother Gabriel.

Review: A pitch-perfect Costner in ‘McFarland USA’ By Jocelyn Noveck Associated Press
“McFarland, USA” could so easily have been yet another mushy, feel-good, bythe-numbers sports underdog movie. And in the beginning, it seems like it’s heading there. But soon, thanks to the genuine heart in its (true) story and a pitch-perfect, beautifully lived-in performance by Kevin Costner, it will likely win you over. So go ahead, surrender. Cry a little. This is one feel-good movie that won’t make you feel bad about feeling good. The story begins in August 1987 in Boise, Idaho, when a high school football coach named Jim White gets fired from his job after throwing a shoe in the direction of a snotty kid who’s talking back to him, accidentally bloodying him. Jim, who has a history of anger issues, packs up the family and moves to McFarland, Calif., for a job at the only school that will hire him. Arriving in McFarland, a farming town where the population is predominantly Mexican-American, White’s daughter looks nervously out the car window and asks: “Are we in Mexico?” At a taqueria, White tries to order a burger, but can’t get one. When the family encounters a group of young men cruising in their cars, he immediately thinks they’re dangerous. These moments lay it on a little thick, but soon, director Niki Caro (“Whale Rider”) hits a more comfortable stride depicting a prickly entry for the White family (the always lovely Maria Bello plays the sadly underdeveloped character of Jim’s wife) into McFarland life. At the new school, White is made assistant coach of the football team, working for an ornery boss who can’t win a game and sees nothing of sending a kid with a concussion back onto the field. Soon they argue, and White’s off the team. But he has a different idea. These boys, who spend all their non-school hours picking in the fields for their parents, might not be able to play football, but they sure can run. And run, and run. White figures they could make a great cross-country team. And he goes for it, not that it’s smooth. “Nobody wins around here, White,” he’s told. The principal is skeptical. The best
In this image released by Disney, Kevin Costner, foreground left, embraces Carlos Pratts in a scene from “McFarland, USA.” Associated Press runner in the bunch, Thomas (a truly excellent Carlos Pratts), is a troubled teen who’s reluctant, at best. Families are resistant. Obstacles keep appearing. But White persists. If you don’t know what ends up happening, after some early disappointments, you haven’t seen many sports underdog movies. The added layer in this film is the huge learning curve that White and his family face in McFarland. To get the support of the local families to keep their sons on the team, he must eat with them, reason with them, bond with them. He even goes pick-
ing in the fields with them one day, almost breaking his back, to the amusement of his athletes. As we mentioned, all of this could easily have veered into obvious formula, where you shed a few tears at climactic moments and then feel a bit silly for it. But the authentic feel we get from so many of the actors helps keep the movie grounded, and so does Costner. At 60 (but looking a lot younger), the actor is so comfortable in this sort of role, he could probably do it in his sleep, but he lends a lovely low-key yet totally committed presence to the film. It’s
hard to imagine anyone else doing the role better. The most satisfying moment in the film is at the very end, when we learn what happened to White and his team in later years. This may be where you’ll need the Kleenex. Again, don’t feel bad about it. It’s a nice story, and nicely told. “McFarland, USA,” a Walt Disney Studios release, is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America “for thematic material, some violence and language.” Running time: 128 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

Lakewood arts program moves
Forced to vacate its Union Boulevard location last fall to make way for luxury apartments, 40 West Arts District, the long-running Lakewood Arts program opted to move next to Casa Bonita in the Lamar Station Plaza so the 27-year-old nonprofit could reside in the heart of the thriving arts district, according to a story in The Denver Post. “They’re an amazing organization and bring to the table a breadth of experience in the visual arts, both in the creativity of the artists that display with them but also the programming activities,” Bill Marino, chairman of the 40 West Arts District, told the Post. “We’re thrilled to have them.” There’s a whole new set of programming options being considered, including literary and performing arts, said Meg Quinn, council vice president. The group also wants to re-establish classrooms, get a solid revenue stream, rent the space out on occasion and have a larger gallery once the remodel is complete next month. “The new gallery is in a space with more square footage, it’s better organized and all on one level,” Quinn told the Post. “40 West will

Years,” as a way to reach out to other parents. Kendall, who is now 14, had a big role in the writing process. She had free rein to comment and add her opinion on the topic at the end of every chapter in the book, Smith-Racanelli said. The book can provide some insight for parents of boys, Smith-Racanelli said, as some of the topics are universal, such as drugs and alcohol, bullying, pop culture and social media, but the experiences are targeted to girls. Writing it “was truly a passion project to support the relationship between parents and girls in order to make those transitional years better,” Smith-Racanelli said, “which hopefully carries forward into the teen years and beyond.”

Teams seek small victories amid big losses Lessons for both sides of blowouts in high school girls basketball By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage coach Steph Rogers encourages her players to ignore the scoreboard. Arvada coach Justin Carpenter uses teambuilding activities. Lopsided scores in high school basketball this season, particularly in the girls game, have presented challenges for coaches on both the winning and losing sides. It’s common to see metro-area girls games decided by 20 points or more — sometimes, a lot more. Blowout scores of 83-27, 75-8 and 52-9, just to name a few, have been recorded this season. That makes it hard for the winning coaches to have their team focus on what they have practiced and keep starters in the game. Losing coaches have to be concerned about not letting their players get embarrassed and discouraged. Rogers’ Eagles have been on both sides, notching a 43-point victory and absorbing 43- and 44-point Continental League defeats. “It’s easy to tell your team to work on different things if you’re playing a team that doesn’t have the talent that you do,” said Rogers, whose team finished the regular season 10-13, rebounding from winning a combined six games the past two years. “You stop pressing or trapping and work on the fundamentals of the game. “The other side is hard. I just try and tell my players during the game that I’m not looking at the score. I’m looking at us and Blowout continues on Page 22

ThunderRidge’s Matt Stanley knew the odds were stacked against him heading into the 195-pound championship match on Feb. 21 at the state wrestling tournament at the Pepsi Center. Stanley was pitted against unbeaten Jacob Seely from Fruita Monument in the Class 5A title match. Seely finished the season with a 42-0 record with a 16-0 technical fall decision over Stanley, the senior who compiled a 44-3 record. “I wanted to stay strong on my feet and try to work some of my attacks in,” said Stanley. “It was tough. I had nothing to lose going into that match. “I was proud of what I did. I wanted to
get second from the start of the season. I reached that goal.” Mountain Vista sophomore Trenton Schultz was the runner-up at 182 pounds, losing a close 2-1 decision to Konner Schmidt of Rocky Mountain. Schultz, who wound up with a 40-7 record, lost to Schmidt last season in the 160-pound, third-place match. Schultz was wrestling for Regis Jesuit a year ago. “I always think about what I can do better,” said Schultz. “I’ve got to be better on my feet. That is where I have to work. It’s a good way to look at things since I have two more years. “I was fourth last year and coming back to get second, I’m getting better every year. I’m happy with this state tournament.” Chaparral’s Dane Drimmer and Cherry Creek’s Matt Finesilver were two south Metro wrestlers who won championships. Drimmer, who advanced to the finals with three consecutive pins, won the 285-pound title with a 5-4 win over Pine Creek’s Taylor White. Drimmer was third and second the Wrestling continues on Page 22

SPORTS ROUNDUP Girls Basketball D’Evelyn 1, Valor Christian 0 - Due to overscheduling by Valor Christian, the defacto 4A Jeffco championship game, pitting two teams at 13-1 in the league on the season, was forced to be a forfeit in favor of D’Evelyn. The game would have been the 24th of the season for the Eagles, which is against CHSAA rules. If the game had been played, Valor would have been subject to restriction and forced to miss the postseason this year.

Blowout
the gap in a game that has probably already been decided with less than a quarter to play,” he said. “What does the winning team do? Allow the reserves to get pressed and taken advantage of or put starters back in to match the other team’s level of play? The other coach and parents get upset that your starters are in the game late.”

what we’re doing, our energy and our execution. Focus on small victories within the game, being positive and trying to teach them when they do something wrong.” Lutheran’s girls have one of the best Class 3A teams in the state and during one six-game stretch this season had an average winning margin of 43.8 points per game. Lions coach Mark Duitsman said he remembers not long ago when his team was on the losing side of lopsided games. “Sometimes there was nothing that either side could have done differently to decrease the margin of victory, but sometimes you couldn’t help but feel the score was being run up on you unnecessarily,” he said. “I promised myself at that time that if we ever found ourselves on the other end, if we ever became the heavily favored team, that we would always show respect to the game and our opponent.” The boys and girls state playoffs began Feb. 24. While the games should, in general, be closer, the potential for blowouts remains, at least in the first couple of rounds.
The dilemma Blowout victories gain national attention each year. Earlier this season, a girls coach in California was suspended for two games after Arroyo Valley defeated Bloomington High, 161-2. The Colorado High School Activities Association has not adopted a mercy rule for basketball, but leagues have been encouraged to address the issue. “So many of our coaches understand the value of high school competition,” said CHSAA assistant commissioner Bert Borg-

past two seasons. Finesilver defeated Pomona’s Jason Romero, 11-2, to win the 132-pound title. Ponderosa’s Hunter Matney lost a 3-2 decision in the 106-pound championship match to Dayton Marvel of Pomona.
Learning lessons, having fun
mann. “They are not looking to humiliate anybody, they are not looking to send a message by running up the score. The vast majority of coaches have empathy because they have been on both sides of these kinds of scores and they know how to address and how to develop game plans when they may be playing a foe that is overmatched by their team. They are teaching great lessons when they are doing it that way.” But trying to manage the margin isn’t easy. “You work so hard to make things automatic for your players, then you have to suddenly tell them to not play that way,” Duitsman said. “It’s easier said than done.
What often gets lost in this discussion is the lack of playing time for our top rotation. Our starters have spent most of the second half of the games on the bench this semester.” Castle View girls coach Matt Hema can speak from both the winning and losing side. When his team is winning by a large margin, like 25 points or more, he’ll have the players call off the press on defense. And his starters and top reserves will generally play only three quarters of a blowout. “Where gamesmanship and sportsmanship come into conflict is when coaches that are down see an opportunity to press the other team’s reserves in order to close
Carpenter is athletic director in addition to being Arvada’s girls basketball coach. His young team won only three games this season, losing by an average of 30.5 points a game. “We have been trying to place importance on the smaller, more measurable things as opposed to the games themselves,” Carpenter said. “Things like holding the other team’s leading scorer to below her average and scoring every quarter. When we played at Valor Christian we stopped on the way home as a team and had Chick-fil-A and ice cream sundaes. Incorporating team-building activities like that has helped.” Rock Canyon has been on the winning and losing ends of blowouts a few times this season. Junior Jaguar Sydney Smith said the big losses serve as motivation. “It just made us come back to practice and work harder,” she said after a 21-point loss to Highlands Ranch on Feb. 19. Learning to be a good winner is important, too. “Once we get up by about 15, we’ll start subbing the bench and then when we get up by about 20, most of my starters won’t play anymore,” said Chris Cureen, coach of the Cherry Creek girls team. “We can do little things, like we have to have so many passes before you can shoot the ball and you have to play a certain defense. There are ways you can play the game without it getting completely out of whack.”
Cherry Creek’s Josh Finesilver, Matt’s twin brother, won the Class 5A, 106-pound third place match with a 9-0 decision over Dylan Martinez of Grand Junction. Josh Finesilver lost 13-4 to Matney in the semifinals. Douglas County senior Robert Gambrell was the 160-pound runner-up. Gambrell, 43-9, lost 12-4 to Grand Junction’s unbeaten senior Jacob Trujillo. Legend’s 126-pounder Adam Aguilar was fourth, losing 4-3 to Rocky Nava
of Northglenn. John Daniel of Arapahoe dropped a 6-2 decision to Jess Hankin of Coronado in the 132-pound third place match. Ponderosa’s Tyler Turco was third at 160 pounds after a 5-1 win over Liberty’s Josh Burns. The Mustangs’ 170-pounder Tanner Olson defeated Douglas County’s Luke Engler, 10-4, to capture fifth place. A.J. Curtis, Cherry Creek’s 145-pounder, took fifth place with a 4-1 decision over Grandview’s Seth Brown while
Chaparral’s Dawson Cranmer defeated Heritage’s Jared Todd, 4-3, to place fifth at 152 pounds. Castle View senior Bevan Haycock finished sixth at 160 pounds. He lost 5-3 to Patrick Romero of Mountain Range in the fifth place consolation match. In the Class 5A team standings, Creek finished seventh with 54 points. Chaparral was eighth with 52.5 points and finished just ahead of Ponderosa who was ninth with 52 points.
Highlands Ranch players Brianne Stiers, left, and Logan Opheim share a moment of laughter in the second half as they get ready to check into the Feb. 19 game against Rock Canyon.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF FEB. 23, 2015
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) There could be some negative reaction to your tough stance when making a recent decision. But overall, your efforts result in wellearned recognition and all that can follow from that. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your financial situation seems confusing, even for the fiscally savvy Bovine. Maybe it’s the conflicting advice you’re getting. Check it out before things get too tangled to unknot. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A relaxed attitude goes a long way in helping you deal with any of life’s irritants that might be popping up this week. You’re also a reassuring role model for others in the same situation.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your aspect favors creativity, which should persuade you to work on your artistic projects. If time is a problem, prioritize your commitments so that your work isn’t compromised. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Scrutinize all the job offers that interest you. Most are honest and worth considering. But a few might not be completely forthcoming about what the job is and what the salary and benefits are. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) An unexpected snafu could delay the completion of a project you’re eager to finish. Find out what’s causing it, fix it, and if you need help, don’t be shy about asking for it. Good luck. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) An idea that could be helpful to you comes from an unlikely source. Listen to it. Discuss it. If necessary, adjust it. If it looks as if it might work out quite well, go ahead and use it. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Be careful about allowing someone to share a very personal secret with you. This could cause problems down the line with others who are involved in that person’s private life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A cooling down of a relationship could be the result of neglect, unintended or not. To save it from icing over, you need to warm it up with a large dose of hot Sagittarius passion. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) This is a good time to get involved with a number of family matters that involve money and other issues that might jeopardize the closeness between and among family members. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Cheer up. That difficult person who appears to be deliberately stalling your project might just need to be reassured of the value she or he brings to it. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Good news! Expect to feel re-energized now that you’ve gone through that stressful energy-depleting period involving a lot of changes. Now, go out there and show them what you can do. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a warm, giving nature that inspires many to follow your example. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
