A home for the holidays Veterinarian adopts dog abandoned after severe injury By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The first time L.S. Burstein saw the newest member of his family, Rusty was lying barely conscious on a Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center operating table. The mixedbreed pup was sedated for surgery on a leg broken during a July fall from a truck traveling down a southwestern Colorado highway. “It was a nasty one,” the veterinarian remembered of the fracture. “And apparently it wasn’t the first (injury).” A Good Samaritan driving behind the truck near Durango saw Rusty fall and stopped to help him; the driver of the truck kept going. Lone Tree clinic staff volunteered to care for Rusty after the La Plata County Animal Shelter to which he initially was taken said it didn’t have the money to do so. An examination showed Rusty, then 8 months old, also had a hip fracture on the opposite side of his body. Nerves in his shoulder tore during the fall, leaving him with only one good leg, permanent disabilities and the need for lifelong pain relief. Looking past Rusty’s obvious injuries, Burstein noticed gentle eyes and a happy demeanor. “In spite of his pain, shortly after having the surgery, he still was wanting to try to figure out how to play,” he said. “I don’t think he knows another way. He’s always trying to figure out how to make a game out of everything. “And he’ll cuddle up to pretty much everyone.” Burstein decided to adopt Rusty, bringing him home to join his two other dogs; both are rescues from the Denver Dumb Friends League. “They wrestle all the time,” Burstein said. “They take a nap. When they get up from the nap, they start wrestling again. They’ve knocked over everything they can reach.” In addition to providing Rusty with a

Courtesy photo lively, loving home, Burstein realized he could more easily fill the dog’s needs than most other potential adopters. Rusty’s initial five-hour donated surgery would have cost about $4,000. All told, the investment the Lone Tree clinic has made in Rusty would have amounted to a $10,000 bill. “It’s easier for a veterinarian; I have more resources than most,” Burstein said. “Rusty’s always going to be a special-needs kid. On a good day, it takes him about a minute to lie down. With his joints, even the good leg is no longer what you and I would consider good because he’s abusing that one trying to compensate for the other
three. “He’ll be on pain medication permanently and is always going to need physical therapy.” Given his early injuries and chronic pain, Burstein said he can’t predict Rusty’s life expectancy. “It really depends on how his perception of pain progresses,” he said. “Later on, I’m sure he’s going to have to be on harder drugs like morphine. Eventually, I’m sure there will be a price (to pay) for them.” For now, Burstein said Rusty exhibits a pain tolerance “way higher than mine.” And he’s joyfully unaware that his injuries could
be a hindrance. “He’s like the 3-year-old that runs around, saying, `I’m faster than sound!’” As a long-time patient and one of the veterinarians’ pets, Rusty is a regular fixture in the Lone Tree office. His company is among the many benefits staff members have received from having him there. “We look at it as an opportunity for our staff to work with and help a dog that has such severe disabilities,” said center co-director Nancy Moyle. “And it’s a great benefit to help them recover and see such dramatic improvement.”
Dinosaur train on track to delight area children Lone Tree shows coming in January By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com
“Dinosaur Train Live! Buddy’s Big Adventure” rolls into Lone Tree Arts Center on Jan. 9 and 10 with six performances by Henson puppets for the pre-school set. Courtesy photo
JIM HENSON’S LEGACY Jim Henson (1936-1990), puppeteer, cartoonist, artist, inventor, screenwriter, actor, film director and TV producer, began creating puppets as a high school student. His unique vision grew into “Sesame Street,” “The Muppet Show” and many variations with beloved characters, includ-
ing Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and Cookie Monster. His operation grew more sophisticated, working as the New York Workshop and the London Creature Shop, cross-pollinating as more new characters were born and animatronic puppet control systems de-
veloped. When Jim Henson passed away suddenly from an infection, his son Brian took over and company continued to invent new friends. The contact address for the Creature Shop is now in Hollywood.
Anyone who has seen offspring through ages 4-6 or so has marveled at their ability to pronounce and identify the tyrannosaurus, pteranodon and many more prehistoric critters. And, we have noted an almost irrational fondness for trains. And then there are Muppets and other charming Henson puppets in their lives. What could make for a greater attraction for the preschool set than oversized Henson dinosaur puppets that ride on trains and tell a story? “Dinosaur Train — Live! Buddy’s Big Adventure” will bring these TV stars to Lone Tree Arts Center on Jan. 9 and 10 in an interactive musical show created by Jim Henson Studios. Kids will learn about life science, natural history and paleontology as they follow the story.
IF YOU GO “Jim Henson’s Dinosaur Train live: Buddy’s Big Adventure” is geared for ages from prekindergarten to second grade and combines science and performing arts. Performances: Jan. 9 at 10 a.m., noon, 6 p.m.; Jan. 10 at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.; at Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Tickets range from $15 to $25. We have noted that popular children’s programs sell out here, so advance reservations are suggested. Lonetreeartscenter.org, 720-509-1000.
Little Buddy is a proud young tyrannosaurus, living happily in a pteranodon family nest, until he no longer can fit in it. He wonders why and travels across the Mesozoic era to seek advice from King Cryolophorus, who is scheduled to give a big concert in Troodon Town. He will help. But the king is missing! Join Buddy, Tiny, Don and friends and family on a train trip back in time as they search and Buddy learns why he is so special.

Trampoline park bounces into town Sky Zone Parker offers indoor jumping for joy By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com An industry that’s growing by leaps has bounded into Parker. Sky Zone Parker, a massive indoor trampoline park for kids and adults, opened Dec. 13 in a long-vacant, 33,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Target on the northwest corner of South Parker Road and Lincoln Avenue. News of the business coming to town was made public when Sky Zone mounted its sign on the front of the building in September. It built anticipation, and hundreds of enthusiastic residents of all ages got a sneak peek Dec. 11 when Sky Zone hosted Community Appreciation Night. Owners Jeffrey and Jan McClure, of Fort Collins, beamed with pride that night as excited shouts echoed through the expansive, warehouse-like room that contains three ultimate dodgeball courts, three basketball hoops of different sizes for extreme dunking, a Foam Zone for acrobatic jumps into a cushy pit, and a main court for just-for-fun bouncing. The McClures have spent 15 years in the family entertainment business and, with an idea to expand their reach, quietly watched the indoor trampoline industry from afar over the last six years. They also sought out the perfect spot along the Front Range and stumbled upon Parker. “We were looking for a particular demographic, and so a strong, family-friendly town is something that really excited us,” Jan McClure said. Parker shot to the top of their list, and when they found the empty space next to Murdoch’s
Kiefer Steller, 5, of Highlands Ranch, plays in a pit of foam blocks at SkyZone.
SkyZone owners Jeffery and Jan McClure, third and fourth from left, respectively, pose for photos with their staff during Community Appreciation Night Dec. 11. Photos by Chris Michlewicz Ranch & Home Supply, they jumped at the chance. It was a good fit for their vision: high ceilings, poles, plenty of room. In Parker they also found more than 60 teens and twentysomethings suited for the job of maintaining a fun, safe environment. Many serve as court monitors, making sure the rules are followed to minimize the possibility of injury. “Everyone wants to have fun, but it’s always been important that we provide a safe way to do those things and mitigate risks,” Jan
McClure said. Fun is what Sky Zone Parker is all about, and the McClures appreciate being in family entertainment because it gives them the chance to offer people an enjoyable experience. The McClures have humble beginnings in the industry and a storyline fit for a feature film. They were looking for a real estate investment opportunity and bought land that happened to have a miniature golf course on it.
“In order to get out of the Putt-Putt franchise, we had to agree to operate it for the summer,” Jan McClure said. They demolished what was there and recreated the business to their own specifications. Thus began their foray into running Fort Fun, a popular Fort Collins business that includes go-karts, laser tag, miniature golf and arcade games. An indoor trampoline complex seemed like a natural and logical extension to what they’d successfully built. Jumping on trampolines isn’t just for kids; at separate points, the McClures each utter the phrase, “if you can walk, you can jump.” Four party rooms are available to host gatherings for everything from birthday parties to corporate events. “It’s a lot of fun to watch people more my age,” Jeffrey McClure said. “They feel invincible — for at least a few minutes.” Sky Zone Parker is at 9851 S. Parker Road. For pricing and hours of operation, go to www.skyzone.com/parker.
CLARIFICATION A recent article on Developmental Pathways’ new 3+ Initiative, which kicked off at a public outreach event on Nov. 13, explained the program’s aim to provide services for children with disabilities between 3 and 5 years old. Until now, the nonprofit Colorado agency, which serves people and families with developmental disabilities from birth to end-of-life, did not have a program servicing that age span. Other agencies, such as Rocky Mountain Human Services, also provide resources to people with disabilities, which include early intervention and programs for children beyond the age of 3. The 3+ Initiative is a program specific to Developmental Pathways, meant to fill the gap in services the organization is able to provide for children between 3 and 5 years old.

Organization aims to help charters launch Ben Franklin Academy founder says starting a school isn’t easy By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com
The founder of Highlands Ranch’s Ben Franklin Academy has formed an organization to help parents get charter schools off the ground. Patriot Schools is currently working with supporters of the proposed John Adams f foamHigh School and K-12 Parker Performing Arts School, which aim for fall 2015 openings. Attorney Jason Sanders and real estate broker Travis Cottle together founded Patriot Schools as a limited liability company in September 2012. Sanders said he was besieged with calls after Ben Franklin Academy opened in September 2011. “I had over 20 people reach out to me and ask for help starting charter schools from as far away as Chicago and Hawaii,” Sanders said. “Starting a school is not easy. You have to know something about education, some legal stuff, finance and business. I could sense there was a need.” While a Douglas County charter school is a tuition-free public school that typically operates under a contract with the Douglas County School District, it has its own board and is largely autonomous. Often, a charter school is proposed by parents who may have solid ideas about curriculum but limited experience in other critical areas. When the demand for his expertise on charter schools threatened to overwhelm his others responsibilities, Sanders said he pondered a formula to provide compensation for his time. Some charter schools get that expertise and management from for-profit educational management organizations, which often charge a percentage of a school’s annual revenue as their fee. “As we thought about how to be involved in education in Colorado, and specifically Douglas County, we did not like that model,” Sanders said. “We did not want to bleed
Ben Franklin Academy founder Jason Sanders started Patriot Schools to help launch other charter schools. Ben Franklin Academy, above, opened in 2011. File photo schools of money.” Instead, Sanders and Cottle’s Patriot Schools charges a one-time, upfront fee that is rolled into the school’s financing package. Cottle, a longtime friend of Sanders, said Patriot Schools wants to steer clear of management. “We want it to be parent-run by the administration that’s put in place, to allow the principal to have autonomy with the board to run the school,” he said. “In that regard, we’re totally different from other management organizations. “At the same time, there’s a three-year process of legwork behind it, so there is (a) small compensation. If we did it hourly, we would probably be making minimum wage.” Neither provided specifics about the organization’s fees.
“We’re contractually obligated not to reveal what that fee is,” Sanders said. “It depends on the cost of the school. I can tell you it’s much less than a Realtor’s fee.” Highlands Ranch resident Cindy Barnard, president of Taxpayers for Public Education, is concerned about any organization profiting from public education. Ben Franklin Academy contractor HighMark Construction profited significantly from building the school, she said. “I’m all for making a profit, but when it’s at the expense of the education of kids, that is a hot button,” Barnard said. “I don’t understand why our (DCSD) board and finance department doesn’t question it. The issues to me are not the charter schools; it’s who’s pushing it, where is the control, and the financial piece.”
Sanders acknowledged HighMark profited from Ben Franklin, and is the likely choice for building John Adams and Parker Performing Arts. “Profit is made on the financing and construction of all charter and neighborhood schools,” he said. “With neighborhood schools, bond holders, bond issuers, and bond service providers make a significant profit on school facilities even though the bond is paid for over time with tax dollars. “And, because most neighborhood school facilities are typically more expensive than charter school facilities, the profits are typically even higher for bond issuers and holders of neighborhood schools.” Sanders said he’s compared financing in both cases and concluded the costs are on par with each other. “Any concerns that this is bad for taxpayers or education should also extend to the significant profits associated with the financing of all public capital projects, including neighborhood schools funded with property taxes,” Sanders said. “The only difference is that this is a new way to finance public schools.” Sanders doesn’t know if Patriot Schools will assist with any schools other than John Adams and Parker Performing Arts. “We’re focused on those two schools right now,” he said. “Where we go from there, we don’t know right now. We just want to be involved in helping education in Colorado and elsewhere.” DCSD did not respond directly to questions from Colorado Community Media about whether it has any concerns about such organizations, or whether it provides charter school founders with appropriate guidance. Instead, DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans replied with an email. “Our charter applicants go through a very rigorous process,” it read. “Our primary criteria for all applicants, whether they are working with third-party developers or not, is evidence of strong parental demand and a plan to deliver excellence in academics, finance, and school governance. We welcome highquality charter applications that increase the educational offerings in DCSD.”

Buffalo Ridge principal resigns Departure occurs after more than year of conflict; district to form committee for new hire By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Capping months of increasing conflict and less than a week after an initial tense parent meeting with Douglas County School District administrators, Buffalo Ridge Elementary Principal Sarah McAfee has resigned. Several parents expressed relief at the news announced during a Dec. 16 community meeting at the school, and they hope the school can rebuild from staff losses and low morale they attribute to the principal. McAfee took the lead at Buffalo Ridge in July 2013. About 30 staff members have left the Castle Pines school since August 2013. Most recently, fourth-grade teacher Mike Mizones resigned in mid-October. “I think Mrs. McAfee did us a favor (by resigning),” said parent Polly Shanahan. “I think it really does allow the community as a whole to have a burden lifted off them. “I feel like we’re going to be able to regroup as a community and hopefully get our school back — the way it has been in the past and should be.” District leaders at the Dec. 16 meeting gave conflicting reasons for McAfee’s decision. McAfee could not be reached for comment. “This was completely her decision,” Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen told the approximately 60 parents and teachers gathered in the school’s library. “She has decided she would like to instead take care of her baby and focus on some things like that, and this is something she’s probably just not interested in moving forward with.” McAfee is pregnant and had planned to take maternity leave in early 2015. Ted Knight, DCSD’s assistant superintendent of elementary education, said McAfee shared with him the “final straw” in her decision. “She did send out a pretty heartfelt holiday greeting to the staff,” he said. “That got forwarded on to some parents that used it to personally attack her. That was her deci-

Photo by Jane Reuter sion, to say, ‘This is not a place I want to be.’ “It is becoming tougher and tougher to find good principals and Sarah is a good principal. I think she felt she could find another job and not have to take the personal attacks.” Both McAfee and Knight previously were employed in Colorado Springs’ Harrison School District, McAfee as an assistant principal and Knight as a principal and assistant principal.
Former Copper Mesa Elementary principal Nancy Wortman will serve as Buffalo Ridge’s interim principal, likely through the end of the school year. District officials said they’ll form a committee to select a permanent principal. Buffalo Ridge has undergone a series of administrative changes, starting in December 2012 when former principal Ally Berggren left abruptly amid substance abuse allegations. An interim principal led the
school until McAfee took the reins. Parents described a changed, less-inviting atmosphere under McAfee’s leadership, a decrease in staff morale and parent volunteerism, and dramatically increased turnover. Mizones, a popular fourth-grade teacher who left in the middle of the fall 2014 semester, cited an environment that ““compromises my integrity as a teacher” as his reason for leaving the school. Fagen said implementing policy changes designed to reform and improve education has been difficult districtwide. “The challenge of doing that is so much higher than just maintaining the status quo,” she said. “That work has been challenging for almost everyone. We have had other schools that have had challenging years. “We are working hard to understand all sides. Nobody’s right or wrong; it’s just that there are different positons on things.” District leaders surveyed Buffalo Ridge staff and heard concerns about a new pay structure, negative evaluations, the rapid pace of changes, the loss of a reading specialist and other issues. Parent John Calhoon said he felt some of the results that district leaders presented to parents and teachers from a listening tour may have understated the issues at Buffalo Ridge. Those included “staff and teachers feeling they were treated with disrespect, lack of professionalism, lack of support,” he said, adding that their concerns might have been expressed more strongly if staff hadn’t feared potential retribution. “I was concerned about a tendency to put the issues on this idea (that) teachers aren’t willing to change or adapt,” he said. “I just don’t think that’s at all the issue here.” Parents who spoke after the meeting said the school now needs to begin rebuilding morale, but said they’re up to the task. “We as parents feel very united,” said Kris Littlejohn. “We’re very passionate about our children’s education and the environment here.” Half the staff members who left Buffalo Ridge since McAfee became principal took other posts within DCSD, Knight said. Two left because of work cutbacks, two accepted jobs in other districts, three changed careers, two moved out of the county and seven left for personal or family reasons.

Pups, people unite against cancer Parker woman helps fund research for human, dog illnesses
WHAT IS THE PUPPY UP! WALK? The Puppy Up! Walk is a two-mile march and much more. There are doggiefriendly games, vendor booths and even a yoga class for canines and their parents. Volunteers also distribute cards with tips for screening dogs for signs of cancer, including lumps. The 2 Million Dogs Foundation, which organizes the Puppy Up! Walks, was formed on the belief that if two dogs can walk 2,000 miles to bring awareness to cancer, then 2 million dogs can walk two miles to raise awareness, according to the nonprofit’s website.
By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Cancer touches everyone’s life — some more than others. A quick glance at a calendar of events in Colorado’s warmer months reveals a slew of 5Ks and marathons, many of which raise money for various charitable causes. Even though the weather can be spotty in late fall, a slow-down in outdoor activities provides an opportunity for the organizers of the Puppy Up! Walk to gain some extra exposure and boost public knowledge about November’s designation as National Canine Cancer Awareness Month. The fifth annual event drew hundreds of peeps and pups to Stapleton Central Park in Denver in the name of comparative oncology, an area of research that seeks to “discover common links between dog cancer and human cancer,” said Carrie Glassburn, a Parker resident and this year’s human “cancer hero” at the race. “Puppy Up! donates money to organizations that are doing research to discover those links — not only what causes (the cancers) but how to prevent them,” she said. Glassburn didn’t have a family history of cancer, so she was understandably shattered when her doctor called and said she had choriocarcinoma, a malignant cancer often found in the placenta. She was the mother of a newborn, and although the rare type of cancer is typically discovered in the wake of a miscarriage, Glassburn had experienced a full-term birth and the tumor was missed. She then made a mistake that most recently diagnosed patients make: Glassburn typed “choriocarcinoma” into an online search engine. She was devastated by the bleak prognoses. “I burst into tears,” she says. “I thought ‘I can’t die. I just had this baby.’” Further compounding the diagnosis was the fact that only two doctors in the state had ever dealt with choriocarcinoma.
Cancer survivors Carrie Glassburn and Rowdy, an 11-year-old chocolate lab, were named as “cancer heroes” for the “Puppy Up!” walk in Denver last month. The event raised money for 2 Million Dogs, a nonprofit that funds cancer research. Courtesy photo The good news, however, was that the cancer responds well to chemotherapy. Then 34, she recovered only to be diagnosed two years later with early-stage breast cancer. Glassburn, the marketing manager for the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center, beat that illness as well, and recently celebrated the allimportant milestone of being five years cancer-free. But the disease reared its ugly head once more when her
beloved basset hound, Abby, died from gallbladder cancer two years ago. Glassburn’s grief was slightly alleviated by an ability to do something, thanks to a friend who was involved with the Puppy Up! Walk. It’s organized by a nonprofit called the 2 Million Dogs Foundation that was started in 2008 by a man who lost his two Great Pyrenees to cancer and began walking from town to town to raise awareness about canine cancer. Where there was loss, Glassburn managed to find an opportunity to help others. She says people don’t always realize the commonalities between human and canine cancer. Dogs get lung, brain and breast cancer, and the traits are strikingly similar to those found in humans. Because her basset hound died from gallbladder cancer, it “was a perfect fit for speaking up,” Glassburn said. She volunteered last year for the Puppy Up! Walk, and this year was shocked to find that she was named the event’s “cancer hero” alongside Rowdy, an 11-year-old chocolate Lab mix and lung cancer survivor. Glassburn, 43, was prepared to decline the offer because she “didn’t feel deserving of the word ‘hero,’” but representatives are often chosen based on how well their stories convey the message. Glassburn was given clarity during a walk with her 9-yearold daughter, Erin, who was an infant when her mom’s ordeal started. “She said, ‘You’re still a hero. You’re my hero,’” Glassburn recalls. “Erin’s words helped me realize that you don’t have to wear a cape to be a hero. You can do it small ways.”

Castle Rock gets dialysis clinic Facility offers training for at-home treatments By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com A new Castle Rock clinic will provide in-patient and at-home dialysis treatment for those suffering from kidney failure. Liberty Dialysis Castle Rock, part of Fresenius Medical Care North America, has opened a new clinic at 4352 Trail Boss Drive. According to the clinic, more than 3,800 Colorado residents suffer from kidney failure and rely on some form of dialysis as a life-sustaining treatment option. “Basically we deal with outpatient dialysis. Generally, patients come here three times per week. The average treatment time is about four hours. We also offer the home therapy dialysis where we work with patients who do it themselves at home,” said Genna Hirsch, the registered nurse in charge of the clinic. “(Athome treatment) is a little bit less restrictive on their schedules. Here they’re stuck to coming every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 a.m., for example, but at home there’s a little more leeway.” The clinic is small, serving fewer than 20 patients, with Hirsch and two others providing the majority of the care, though she said they are equipped to take care of up to 100 patients. “(Dialysis patients’) kidneys have shut down to the point where they no longer able to remove fluids and toxins from their bodies. You and i, our kidneys are basically working 24
hours a day to just keep our bodies healthy,” Hirsch said. “These guys, their bodies don’t do that anymore, so they’re doing in about four hours what our bodies do in a full day.” The clinic offers training in two types of athome dialysis, pertaniel dialysis and homehemo dialysis. Pertaniel dialysis can be done by oneself and at any time or place, making it one of the most flexible therapy options. Hirsch said she even had a patient who was a truck driver and did it in the cab of his semi. “Think of it as using the abdomen as a coffee filter,” she said. “They have a little catheter that comes out of their stomach and they connect to a solution that they then drain into their belly and then they disconnect. The solution hangs out in their belly for four to five hours and then they connect to a drain bag and drain it out. That solution pulls all of the toxins and fluids through the abdomen and then it’s drained out.” Home-hemo dialysis is more like the treatment given at the clinic. “They have a machine that sits on a tabletop; it’s a real simplified version of what we use here basically,” Hirsch said. “They do have to have a trained partner, a husband or wife or child.” Home hemo must be done five to six days a week for two or two and a half hours. Training for Pertaniel takes about 10 days and training for home hemo is more complicated, taking about three to four weeks. “We try and sit down with them and ease whatever fears our patients have,” Hirsch said. “They’re going to have a lot of questions. Their families will have a lot of questions. Usually after a while you settle into a routine. It is a lifetime thing.”

To feds, pot business smells suspicious The handling of money is a conundrum for shops By Katie Kuntz
Rocky Mountain PBS I-News The federal government is stockpiling hundreds of “suspicious activity reports” that could provide federal agents with sufficient evidence to shut down any state-legalized marijuana business. While it may appear that federal authorities have taken a wait-and-see approach to marijuana legalization in the 23 states that now allow either medical or recreational use, these reports are poised like a blade over the budding industry should federal laws be enforced. This risk of federal prosecution has led some cannabis companies to literally launder their money. “You used to be able to just smell it,” said Jennifer Waller, vice president of the Colorado Bankers Association, speaking of the cash from marijuana shops. “But now they are using Febreze a lot, putting the money in dryers, a lot of different things to try to disguise the scent because marijuana has such a distinct odor.” And that distinct odor is considered a red flag by federal authorities who require that banks file a suspicious activity report for every transaction that might be associated with illegal activity, including selling marijuana, even for state licensed businesses. “It’s because of the illegal nature of it,” Waller said. “In banking, if you are accepting the funds from a marijuana company and you are aware of it … you can be charged with money laundering yourself.” Banks fear the repercussions of holding deposits related to marijuana, still a Schedule I illegal drug under federal law. That could mean prison time for individual tellers, fines for the bank, and the bank could even lose its federal deposit insurance, meaning it could be also be closed. If a marijuana store is charged with money laundering, it could lose everything. “Even be-
Cash is collected at a Strainwise marijuana store in Denver on Nov. 17, 2014. Legal marijuana businesses are a cashheavy operation and many stores rely on armored car services like Blue Line for cash transportation and protection. Photo by Rocky Mountain PBS I-News fore a conviction, the feds could freeze your assets,” said Chris Myklebust, commissioner of the Colorado Division of Financial Services. “And if there is a money laundering conviction, the feds can seize the assets, too.” The federal government has already collected more than 1,100 reports that implicate different cannabis companies in financial crimes nationwide. “Just in a moment’s notice, the U.S. Justice Department could literally take down every single dispensary in Colorado, probably within about a day.” said Rob Corry, a Denver attorney and marijuana advocate. Corry has worked on several cases where federal agents have seized assets — cars, cash, bank accounts — though many of the records are sealed and it’s hard to gauge just how often this occurs. More often, banks simply shut down marijuana-related accounts. Between February and August 2014, banks filed more than 475 “Marijuana Termination” suspicious activity reports — indicating they closed hundreds of accounts because of

possible criminal activity. “I’ve lost my personal bank account, my brothers have lost their personal bank accounts,” said Sally Vander Veer, operator of Medicine Man dispensary in Denver. The dispensary also lost its account in August. She says that without a bank account, all Medicine Man employees are paid in cash. “I can’t protect them. They walk out of here with a pocket full of cash and, in essence, they become another target and a potential victim of not having banking in the marijuana industry,” Vander Veer said. The dilemma has resulted in private businesses like Blue Line Protection Group that employ former military or law enforcement officers equipped with handguns, bulletproof vests, tactical training and armored trucks to transport cash and product to undisclosed locations for safekeeping. “When we started, the clients we were picking up had a manager taking (cash) in a Honda Civic or some kind of Subaru, unarmed, no vests, no tactics, no skills,” said
Dominic Powelson, who works for Blue Line Protection Group. “People are gladly saying, ‘Yeah, just go, we will pay you some money to do it for us.’ ” State regulators in Colorado and Washington have also tried to ease access to banking. Mycklebust, the Colorado financial services commissioner, issued a charter to the first ever marijuana-focused credit union in November. The new credit union will not immediately have federal credit insurance, although it has applied. Mycklebust said the new credit union must also file suspicious activity reports. The so called “SARs” stem from the guidelines set forth by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, a branch of the U.S. Treasury Department. The guidelines were meant to ease access to banks. “Banks are required by law to report when they think that a business is making money from something illegal, and marijuana is still federally illegal,” said Steve Hudak, spokesman for FinCEN. “We attempted to provide guidance that would help to get cash off the streets and some of the public danger that is associated with that, so we went about as far as we could.” But the guidelines didn’t actually legalize banking for marijuana businesses — only Congress can do that. And so far, Congressional leaders have been opposed. “(FinCEN’s) guidance is dangerously misleading,” wrote U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., in a letter of reprimand to the agency. “Indeed, following the guidance may expose financial institutions to civil or criminal liability.” Still, some U.S. representatives from Colorado and other states have introduced legislation to federally legalize state-approved marijuana, or at least legalize the industry’s access to banking. But those bills have not advanced. As is, state-approved marijuana businesses operate solely as a matter of federal discretion. And that could change at any time.

All the fun of a cage, plus seat-kicking My neighbor flies somewhere just about every week. He even has an airport car. It looks a little like the gutted-out rental in “Planes, Trains and Automobiles.” “It gets us where we want to go.” If you are low on oil and know how to extract it from asphalt, there’s some waiting for you across the street. I call the car “Valdez.” I don’t fly anywhere. As I have said before, I am sedentary. I miss out. I would love to see Paris, France. Or even Paris, Texas. The peat bogs of Laphroaig. The Lesser Antilles. The Grampian hills. I would settle for Pismo Beach. I remember smoking and non-smoking sections. If one person on an airplane smoked, we all smoked. Shooters were either free or a dollar. Flight attendants were called “stewardesses” or “stews,” and some of them looked like go-go dancers. Then things changed. It’s an obstacle course just to board a plane, and once I do I am in greater proximity with more disconcerting people for an extended period than at any other time in my life. Expedia released its annual list of “onboard etiquette violators.” I will let you think about it before I share it with you. I will give you mine first. Number one on my list of violators is simply what Sartre referred to as “other people.” I’d fly all by myself on a private jet if I
could. No flight attendants. No pre-flight directives. No pilot pointing out the Monongahela. I might allow a harpist. OK, Expedia, here we go: Seat kickers have moved into the top spot, bumping “inattentive parents” into second place. Seat kickers will kick you if your seat is reclined, and if you two go at it, the flight might be diverted, and you could be led off by marshals. Small talkers. It’s easier to ixnay small talkers these days than it used to be. Now you can just listen — or pretend to listen — to your headphones instead. (You youngsters don’t remember the days before there were headphones.) There was a time when you might be a captive, next to a shower ring representative, who just made a big sale in Wichita. I have never been very gracious. If someone tried to bend my ear, I tried to bend their ear right back. I would start to sing.
Designated drivers keep holidays safe It seems that we can find a top 10 list or the top 10 reasons to do just about anything these days. I mean, everything from places to live, cars to purchase, gadgets to own, rationale to drink coffee or tea, favorite vacation spots, and so many more. If you have ever caught David Letterman’s show, there was a Top 10 list every night, usually designed to make a satirical point. Now, with the holidays upon us, I thought I would encourage us all to drink responsibly, and if we are going to take advantage of the festivities and celebrate with our favorite spirits, to not just consider having a designated driver, but to make the commitment and ensure that we have a designated driver or safe ride home whether it is a taxi, bus, or chauffeured ride of some kind. Maybe it’s our turn to be the DD, the designated driver, or maybe it’s someone else’s turn, but either way, let’s not just celebrate the season, let’s celebrate the fact that we are driving safely and soberly and celebrate all of
“There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow.” If they persisted, I would add, “The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye.” That was usually all it took. If you smell like a bowl of cologne, well, you make the list of violators. I sat next to a woman who had been embalmed the day before. Drinkers who drink and drink make the list. You hear about some of them. One had to be taped down by nearby passengers. A picture showed him looking like a duct tape mummy, with tape over his mouth. His eyes were wild, and so was his hair. Sitting in coach isn’t much fun. It’s a little inhumane, unless you are the size of a ferret, but who is? And perhaps the worst of all is to be as ornery as I am, as tall as I am, and as ornery as I am — or have I already mentioned that? — and to be seated between two complete strangers. The Middle Seat. It’s torture. I mean it. I sat next to a woman who boarded with a greasy, brown bag of fried chicken parts. I’m telling you. There are other options, but flying is still worth it. If I were to board a Greyhound in Denver tonight at 7:15 p.m., I would arrive in New York City the day after tomorrow at 4:20 p.m. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

the DDs out there, especially during this time of year. So here it goes, the Top 10 list — Reasons to Celebrate Having a Designated Driver: 10. Bragging rights (That’s right, I have a designated driver, don’t you?) 9. Convenience of a ride anywhere we need to go (Isn’t it really all about convenience?) 8.

Re: Sheriffs show off training facility The Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Facility, according to Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock is a “gem of law enforcement.” This facility is currently used for law enforcement training needs by approximately 64 city, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies across the metro area. Part of its mission statement promotes and/ or develops private and public partnerships for the purpose of public safety but provides no details. Where public safety and taxpayer-funded law enforcement activities are concerned public and private partnership arrangements should be fully disclosed. Who are these private businesses and what are they selling? According to Colorado Community Media reporter Jennifer Smith at the October tour of the facility for reporters, Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Deputy Charles Kelly spoke of the training program for crowd control devices, which include 175-decibel flash bangs that have the effect of “bleaching” the retinal pigment in people’s eyes and throws them off balance by disrupting the inner ear. Kelly said, “A lot of people are motivated, and this stuff is meant to

Justice center entrance getting redo $1.2 million approved for remodeling work By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County commissioners approved a $1.2 million remodel of the entryway of the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center in Castle Rock at their Dec. 16 meet-
ing. The project, originally planned in November 2012, includes an entrance vestibule, a larger queuing area for people, an ADA and employee access point, and an enlarged area for users to pick up their belongings. According to Douglas County Captain of Detentions Kevin Duffy, an enclosed front entry would allow for weather protection, temperature control and increased security for the approximately 1,000 daily visitors. Duffy is in charge of security at the jus-
tice center. The entryway project was put on hold in 2012 due to budget concerns. “I’m in complete belief that this structure will meet our current needs and future needs for Douglas County for years to come,” Duffy said. The entry canopy project was budgeted during the 2015 budget process. It will accommodate 85 people in the queuing area and allows space for two sets of magnetometers and X-ray machines, all within the enclosed entry space.
“I met with the judges. We meet on a regular basis to go over security, and we met last week and discussed this very project, and they wanted to make sure their voices are also heard about how important they feel this is to have the enclosed area where we have a large number of both witnesses and jurors coming in, where they’re not standing out in the cold and the rain and that we get them in the building in a safe, secure and controlled manner,” Duffy said. Work on the project will begin in January and be completed late spring of 2015.
County OKs deal to update offender data SOTAR tracks many convicted of sex crimes By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County approved a $210,000 2014 SMART Grant agreement for updating its online sex offender database, SOTAR, as well as a collaboration with Department of Justice to help the program further align with the Sex Offender Registration Notification Act, at the
Dec. 16 county commissioners’ meeting. The SMART Grant is a grant the federal government provides that helps with implementation, advancement and support of sexoffender programing. The county partnered with the Justice Department to apply for the grant. SOTAR is a web-based application built in 2005 by Douglas County. It is used to manage sex offenders and investigate sex-related crimes. David Weaver, then sheriff and now a county commissioner, was instrumental in the development of the program. The application is used by 80 agencies in the state to manage nearly 9,000 registrants,
more than half of Colorado’s registered sex offenders. “Our goal was, because sex offenders can be very mobile, to allow all jurisdictions to view sex offender data, to follow sex offemders from one jurisdiction to another without loss of that data,” said Douglas County IT business analyst Laura Kesner. The application has been praised by federal agencies such as the U.S. Marshals and FBI. It has also been implemented by federal agencies in cases related to American Indian lands where records can be harder to track down and maintain. SOTAR is also widely used by private citi-
zens in Colorado who are concerned about living near sex offenders. According to Kesner, the application received 1.8 million page views in 2014. “The offenders can no longer slip through the cracks,” said Detective Chris Stadler of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Investigation Division. The commissioners stated their continued support for what they described as an important and needed program. “Who isn’t sensitive to when a child is in trouble in some way or another, so it really hits home for everyone,” Commissioner Roger Partridge said.
Counties partner in pretrial software Douglas, Arapahoe to share information By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County approved the purchase and creation of a new software system for the county’s Community Justice Services that will allow the county to share pretrial information with Arapahoe County and better manage its finances. At the Dec. 16 county commissioners’ meeting, the county approved the $228,600 price tag, Douglas County’s portion of cost for the new software. The new system was hailed as an impor-

tant step toward connecting the pretrial process across different counties in the state. The system currently used by the Douglas County CJS was built in 1998 and has been used by the county since 2000. It is unable to share information online with other counties and is considered to be very outdated. The new system will utilize SalesForce, a widely used financial software application designed to allow easy integration between similar platforms. “Our vision going forward is really to continue with this. We want to be able to share more data and partner with more jurisdictions, particularly in the area of pretrial,” Douglas County IT business analyst Laura Kesner said. The county has been exploring options for updating its pretrial software for the last two years.
a designated driver in their group when they plan on partying. Parties happen, partying takes place, overindulging is a given in some cases as we celebrate during the holiday season or really at any time of year. And I am amazed and truly appreciative of the people who recognize that they have had too much and leave their car in the parking lot or at a friend’s house, call a taxi or arrange another ride, and come back in the next day or two to pick up their car. What a great decision and definitely one worth celebrating as we celebrate. According to CDOT there have already been 435 traffic related fatalities here in Colorado in 2014, with 150 of those fatal accidents involving alcohol. As the years winds down, let’s not invite any more unwanted tragedy into our lives and into our communities. Instead, let’s celebrate, appreciate, and love on our designated drivers. How about you? Are you up for some partying this holiday season? And if so, do you have your DD plan in place? I would love to hear all about your designated driver plans at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we all take the time to make our roads safer, it really will be a better than good holiday season. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
Yes, there are good cops and we need well-trained law enforcement officers, but with cities across this nation experiencing predatory and military-style policing tactics we should know whether our law enforcement officers are being trained to look at members of our communities as military targets or as the citizens they are sworn to serve and protect. Diane Schrack Highlands Ranch
The two counties have created a cross-jurisdictional steering committee that will help with the collaborative decision-making that will be needed going forward with the project. “We hear regularly as a county about the state government who has not updated many of their IT systems, and the problems that can create down the road and the significant financial burden, so I appreciate the effort to make sure we’re ahead of any overly outdated IT systems and how we can do our job better,” Commissioner Jill Repella said. The goal is to eventually connect the ma-
jor jails in the state under one system that can be accessed by all. According to senior project manager Terry Lyons, the joint venture with Arapahoe County is “probably the biggest thing to happen to pretrial since its inception in 1975.” “There’s a lot of risks and a lot of (the other counties) want to be on the sideline to see how well we perform,” Lyons said. “We’re going to be the guinea pig, but if we do have success between us and Arapahoe County I do think it will open up the door for a lot of other counties to jump in. That’s the ultimate goal.”

Men’s salon caters to style trends New shop opens doors in Streets at SouthGlenn By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Anyone in the business world knows that presenting a professional appearance is nearly as important as fulfilling the duties of the job. Women have always had the style part down, but some men are still catching up. Helping them round the learning curve is 18|8 Fine Men’s Salon, which opened in late November in the Streets at SouthGlenn. The Centennial salon is targeting an underserved market of business professionals and, simply put, men who are willing to make the effort to achieve the look they want. Even the business name serves as a metaphor for the type of transformation that can occur behind the doors of 18|8. It refers to the formula — 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel — that turns ordinary steel into stainless steel. The stylists’ efforts are all in the name of helping “clientele to look better, feel better, and perform better,” the company’s website says. “You want to present that side of yourself in business,” said owner Li Kang, who received a franchise license to open two
more 18|8 salons in the metro Denver area. The high-end business does not only haircuts, but hand treatments, shaves, waxing services, consultations about hair loss, neck and shoulder massages, and shampooing before and after the cut, going beyond what a barber shop might offer. The services are delivered by attractive, friendly stylists who make sure each client gets what he wants. And because 18|8 has a liquor license, that includes beer or wine. “It’s very relaxing,” Kang said. “We want you to enjoy the experience, so we don’t rush you.” Kang, a resident of Lone Tree, served as an information technology consultant before landing on 18|8 Fine Men’s Salon as an investment opportunity. The Denver area is traditionally at the forefront of style trends, and good grooming has become increasingly important for men of all types. He said the demographic is perfect for such a business because of the high number of executives living in Douglas and Arapahoe counties who maintain a “healthy and elegant lifestyle.” “The neighborhood is great,” Kang said. “People go to Whole Foods, 24-Hour Fitness — they care about how they eat and how they look. This fits in well.” As soon as the 1,600-square-foot space two doors down from the Regal Southglenn Stadium 14 became vacant, Kang snapped it up and turned it into the ideal full-ser-
Li Kang, owner of the new 18|8 Fine Men’s Salon in the Streets at SouthGlenn, says grooming is more important than ever to men, particularly executives who want to maintain a professional appearance. Photo by Chris Michlewicz vice salon. A separate seating area enables clients to relax if there is a brief wait. Haircutting stations are walled off to lend an element of privacy, and all of the services occur in the booth without a client having
to get up. 18|8 Fine Men’s Salon, located at 6879 S. Vine St., Suite 709, is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Festival of Lights celebrated Staff report The South Metro Denver Chabad Jewish Center made its way around different towns and cities to celebrate Hanukkah with community menorah lighting celebrations. Four lighting celebrations took place: Dec. 16 at O’Brien Park in Parker, Dec. 18 at the Streets at Southglenn in Centennial, Dec. 20 at the Eastridge Recreation Center in Highlands Ranch and Dec. 23 at the Southlands Shopping Center in Aurora. The purpose was to reach as many Jews as possible, said Rabbi Avraham Mintz. Some of the celebrations attracted a larger crowd than others, and some drew close 500 people, he added. “Hanukkah reminds us that each of us is a walking menorah,” the rabbi said. The highlight of the celebrations was the lighting of the giant menorah. Attendees also enjoyed music and the festive treats of latkes, donuts, chocolate gelt and warm beverages. Children especially enjoyed the arts and crafts table where they got to make their own dreidels.

The Western way Matthews has long career as watercolor painter By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Working cowboys, ranches, rural architecture and the landscape are William Matthews’ subjects. His work is featured in connection with the National Western Stock Show in the Ninth Annual Petrie Institute of Western American Art Symposium on January 7, when a group of distinguished speakers will take a look at “Western Character: Expressions of Identity and Place in Portraiture.” (Registration required.) Colorado-based Matthews is known for his paintings of contemporary cowboys — versus depictions of the historic American West. But he is not a cowboy himself. He says he’s a “trespasser,” viewing their work from the outside, although through the four decades he’s been painting, he has formed close friendships. “William Matthews: Trespassing” includes 27 works from Matthews’ early career until today. He was born in New York City in 1949 and grew up in the Bay Area. He said his mother was an oil painter. “She took me to a museum show when I was a young boy. I saw the watercolors of Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent and Andrew Wyeth,” and he decided he wanted to learn to do that. Watercolor has been his medium of choice since. His professional career began in Los Angeles, according to his website, designing album covers for Warner Brothers and Capitol Records. He lived in Europe from 1975 to 1980, then returned to Colorado and ran a graphic design studio, dedicating himself to full-time painting in 1990. Two monographs have been published about his work: “Cowboys and Images: the Watercolors of William Matthews”
(1994) and “William Matthews: Working the West.” His work is widely exhibited, including the collections of the Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa; Joslyn Museum, Omaha; Autry National Center, Museum of the American West, Los Angeles; Buffalo Bill Historical Center and Museum, Cody; and many more. The DAM will screen a new featurelength documentary on Matthews: “William Matthews: Drawn to Paint,” from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Jan. 23. It follows Matthews as he prepares for his solo exhibition at the DAM, revisits some of his favorite subjects and reflects on the world of Western art. Tickets cost $10 for members and $13 for non-members and can be purchased on the DAM website, denverartmuseum. org.

Denver is ranked No. 8 in the list of The 15 Top Cities for Single Women, according to DatingAdvice.com, and there’s no mention of our marijuana legislation for attracting single guys. Rather, the website says of its list: “In these 15 cities, it’s practically raining men. While we can’t guarantee they’re all angels, these are great places to start your search for a good man or two.” Denver, at No. 8, scores with 112,038 single men, the web survey says. For the rest of the rankings, go to www. datingadvice.com/for-women/the-15-topcities-for-single-women.
Influential foursome
Four Denver players in the entertainment scene were named “the most influential people in Denver entertainment in 2014” by axs.com. The website said, “There were so many wonderful performances, contributions and creations that this list certainly could have featured 30 or 40 names. However, there are a few people whose work in 2014 truly stood out, making these four creative individuals among the most influential voices in entertainment in Denver this year.” The four are: Brian Corrigan for Oh Heck Yeah, a street arcade in downtown Denver in June and July; former Denver Post theater critic John Moore, who parlayed his talents into becoming the senior arts journalist for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts; Chris Zacher, founder of the Levitt Pavilion, a new amphitheater in Ruby Hill Park; and funnyman Adam Cayton-Holland as part of The Grawlix comedy show. For more on each recipient, go to www. axs.com/the-most-influential-people-indenver-entertainment-in-2014-32388.

It was a teen dream come true for Evergreen sisters Caitlin and Sidney Powell, 16 and 13 respectively, when their band Facing West landed a record deal recently with Pando Records, a Warner Music Group Label. The Powell girls were formerly known by Two Girls With Guitars, but changed the name to Facing West. According to 9News, the band’s first single, “Anchors,” will be released nationally in early January. The rest of the album will be released in March. Facing West posted this on its Facebook page: “Big move 4 us! Facing West is now with Pando Records. We # rejoice and give thanks ... way more to come in 2015! Grateful for your support.” Their father Tim Powell helps manage Facing West. His wife, Catrina, home-schools the girls. “Their hard work, talent and God’s blessings continue to surprise us,” Tim Powell told 9News. “The girls are over the moon excited.” For the rest of the story, go to www.9news. com/story/entertainment/2014/12/15/ facing-west-record-deal/20437851/.

`Doxie’ love drives shop’s effort Dachshund group pays visit to Keller Bros. automotive By Jennifer Smith
jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com When David Rogers met his dachshund Camouflage last year, he knew he’d met the love of his life. “Anyone who has not, should adopt,” said Rogers, chief operating officer of Keller Bros. automotive shop, proclaimed on his Facebook page. “Best experience of my life.” And as a result, the shop’s mutually beneficial relationship with Denver Dachshunds Rescue and Transport was born. “He’s a big supporter of the dogs,” said Jamie Roberson, founder of DDRT. “And he’s kept `Old Yeller,’ our only rescue vehicle, going at no charge.” Roberson visited Keller Bros. on Dec. 10 with Oreo and Kindy, two of the most adorable little “doxies” one could hope to meet. They are curious, happy and eager to cuddle anyone with an outstretched hand. “Dachshunds have so much character and so much per-
sonality trapped in those little bodies,” said Roberson. They were there as part of Keller Bros.’ “Hump Day is Help Day” program during which they donate $5 for every full-price oil change they perform on Wednesdays to a local charity. As an added bonus, they added Thursdays to the mix this year. “We love our community, and we know you do too,” reads a release announcing the program. “That’s why we’re going the extra mile to give back.” In November, the company raised $160 for Denver Rescue Mission and is hoping to beat that for DDRT in December. The money is used to help better the lives of dachshunds and other small dogs, and the lives of their owners. The group has helped with vaccinations and other medical treatments, reunited lost pets with owners, rescued little ones from puppy mills, and offered shelter in disasters. “Rescued dogs aren’t always damaged goods,” said Dorothy Lueloff, DDRT volunteer. “Sometimes it’s just about life changes.” That’s the reason they created the “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” program, partly designed to help seniors hold on to their very loved and important companions. “If people truly love them, and it’s just a matter of money, there’s no reason not to keep them,” said Roberson.
Bucky Pizzarelli, Ed Laub, Frank Vignola and Vinny Raniolo will represent three generations of swinging guitarists when their ensemble appears at Lone Tree Arts Center on Jan. 4 for a one-of-a-kind concert. Pizarelli, at 88, still keeps up a full concert schedule across the nation. Born in 1926, he learned to play at an early age from his uncles who were musicians and began his professional career at 17 with the Vaughn Monroe Dance Band. After a period of Army service, he rejoined the Monroe Band then became a staff musician for NBC. With Stitch Henderson, he played in the Tonight Show Band with the Johnny Carson show. He has played with his two sons, John and Martin, and toured worldwide with many jazz legends. He toured with Benny Goodman off and on until Goodman’s death in 1986 and has continued to travel and entertain, including a recent recording session with Paul McCartney for “Kisses on the Bottom.” He lives in New Jersey and is an amateur painter. Ed Laub is a well-known guitarist and vocalist who has focused on the American Songbook genre, although he also loves to perform great Brazilian classics. Born in 1952, he grew up in New Jersey in a family of musicians. He studied with Bobby Domenic, PizZarelli’s uncle, and eventually began studying seven-string guitar with PizZarelli . Twelve years ago, he left other business ties and became the steady partner of his teacher and close friend, PizZarelli, although he still is in demand as vocalist and for special guest appearances. Frank Vignola, born in 1965, began playing the guitar at age 6 and has played nationally and internationally with major name musicians, including Ringo Starr and Wynton Marsalis. He often tours today with young Vinny Raniolo, 28, who is the fourth quartet member in the “Swing Xing!” show at Lone Tree. Raniolo has already toured in 14 countries, played in major concert halls and is establishing a reputation as performer and educator.
IF YOU GO “Swing Xing! Three Generations of Swing Guitar” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 4 at Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Tickets: lonetreeartscenter.org, 720-509-1000.
Trujillo recipes live on as cookbook is released Longtime restaurant was fixture in Littleton By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com
After 47 years in the restaurant business, Jose and Phyllis Trujillo decided to retire and “enjoy their family, travel, garden and just relax,” says the introduction to the new “Jose’s Family Cookbook.” The gardening part meant growing quantities of chilies this summer, planting the garden next door in addition to their own two lots, and growing dahlias and roses. Loyal customers, they say, urged them to share recipes for popular dishes, which meant translating them to family-sized portions. The Trujillos’ daughter Chris Slinkard and niece Brigid Hendricks undertook that challenge, calculating measurements and testing every downsized recipe to be sure it tasted CN # right.

He started at the back of the Family Bar and then bought the next-door building, where Jose’s remained until it closed in 2013. Daughters Chris Slinkard and Teri Moore, and their children, worked at the restaurant over the years. Other family members could often be found there as well, dining and chatting with each other. It’s the end of an era in a way, but Jose’s connections with the city as a councilmember and memories of both Jose and Phyllis as frequent volunteers in local events will long linger on Main Street and around the corners..

Review: ‘Exodus’ plagued by casting, script issues By Jake Coyle
Associated Press To what do we owe the second coming of the biblical epic? A genre that was once as moldy as stale communion wafers has been reborn this year, first with Darren Aronofsky’s “Noah’’ and now with Ridley Scott’s “Exodus: Gods & Kings.” The resurrection is partly to capitalize on the faith-based moviegoing audience and partly because the Bible offers stories suited to this blockbuster era, offering both spectacle and name-brand familiarity. More than 50 years after “The Ten Commandments,” sandals are back in style. We can only hope the trend will culminate in a seemingly ordained bit of casting: Someone has got to make a Jesus film with Jared Leto. But big-tent Old Testament tales are no easy sell in times marked by both religious discord and secular disbelief. “Noah” was interesting because it saw the arc-builder as hero of environmentalism, a protector of both morality and animals. The 3-D “Exodus” also refashions Moses (Christian Bale) for modern times, giving us
an elite, action-film combatant who’s less a conduit for God than a strong-minded individual whose beliefs mostly jibe with the deity who secretly appears to him. (God is seen here as an impatient child, played by the 11-year-old Isaac Andrews.) “Exodus” begins promisingly, with a bald John Turturro in makeup. As the Egyptian pharaoh Seti, the father of Ramses (Joel Edgerton) and king to Moses’ prince, Turturro (and the brilliant Ben Mendelsohn’s louche viceroy) gives the film a touch of camp, a necessary ingredient to any successful biblical epic. Scott ought to have kept it up. However, the director of “Gladiator” and “Blade Runner” isn’t known for his lightness of touch, but rather a monochrome masculinity. His “Exodus” is action-heavy and more interested in the sheer computergenerated scale of the airy Egyptian palaces, the grotesque visitation of plagues (from the bloody Nile to the locust swarms) and the mass movements of the Hebrews. Yet after Seti’s death and Ramses’ ascendance to the throne, “Exodus” seems to lessen in scope, turning into a manoa-mano drama between the stepbrothers
Ramses and Moses, who’s exiled after the discovery of his Hebrew birth. For an epic, there are, at best, only two clearly seen characters in “Exodus,” with supporting players like Ben Kingsley (as a Hebrew elder), Sigourney Weaver (as Seti’s wife) and Aaron Paul (as a Hebrew slave) all but inconsequential. Let our people go? The leads, you may have noticed, are uniformly white, which has spawned a good deal of deserved controversy not abetted by Scott’s defense that his stars were necessary for financing. The skin color of the ancient Egyptians, it should be noted, isn’t known certainly, and historical accuracy is never much a consideration to biblical epics. But that “Exodus” chose to ignore this issue of representation — which has a long dubious history in Hollywood — speaks to the film’s general lack of curiosity. It’s after spectacle, not questions. “Exodus’’ — written by the team of Adam Cooper, Bill Collage, Jeffrey Caine and Steven Zaillian — does indeed supply the big scenes. Slowly accepting his destiny and his Hebrew heritage, a bearded Moses rallies the Israelites and leads them to the climactic moment at the Red Sea (which isn’t

as sumptuously rendered as you’d expect). Throughout, Edgerton’s Ramses (who in the film’s best image, wraps a python around himself) is generally befuddled by the happenings. Bale’s Moses is a reluctant, weary prophet. He may be the only actor who would barely bat an eye in scenes with the Almighty. Burning bushes don’t impress this Batman. The most emotional moment of the film comes after it ends. Before the credits roll, Scott dedicates the film to his late brother, Tony Scott. It adds a tender dimension to the brotherly psychodrama of “Exodus.” But as a self-proclaimed agnostic, Scott would be better to leave Moses to a believer..

THE ALL-SOUTH METRO FOOTBALL TEAM
Hall, Lee stand apart
ect). (who thon d by tant, Creek, Valor stars named top actor offensive, defensive players with press By Jim Benton
jbenton
film @coloradocommunitymedia.com roll, ther, Milo Hall’s touchdown run that helped Cherry Creek win the Class 5A state football on to championship will be remembered for a long ” But time. ould And no one will soon forget how well Valor Christian’s Eric Lee Jr. played in the defensive secondary. Hall is Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Offensive Player of the Year. Lee garners our Defensive Player of the Year honors. Those two players headline the south metro offensive and defensive teams selected after input from coaches of the schools covered by CCM. Hall, a 5-foot-8, 185-pound senior dazzled the crowd at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in the Nov. 29 title game with a 24-yard touchdown run in which he dodged three tacklers, straight-armed another and ran backward toward the end zone. His touchdown set up a game-winning 2-point conversion in the Bruins’ 25-24 championship conquest of five-time state champion Valor Christian. “He was an exceptional player for us,” said Cherry Creek coach Dave Logan. “I’ve been blessed to coach a lot of good running backs in 22 years, and he’d be right in the thick of things. He’s got exceptional vision. He’s built low to the ground but he’s a 400-pound squat kid. He’s very strong. He’s tough and he just doesn’t like to get tackled.” Hall ran inside the tackles and outside around the end for 2,086 yards and 27 TDs. “I feel I had a great year,” said Hall. “I have to give thanks to all my guys up front and to the coaches for game-planning everything to make sure we had the best success week in and week out.” Last season, Cherry Creek got a heralded move-in running back in Nathan Sparks who finally gained eligibility late in the season, but Hall didn’t take a backseat and couldn’t be bumped out of the lineup. “That definitely motivated me,” admitted Hall. “Nathan was a great running back. It pushed me. It made me work harder.” Hall grew up in Park Hill and was inspired by his older brother Dashae Armstrong, who was hospitalized with gunshot wounds but was released prior to Creek’s semifinal game against Ralston Valley. “He got out the hospital the day we played Ralston Valley,” said Hall. “He’s home and was at the state championship game. I was really happy about that. It motivated me.” Lee was motivated to do a little bit of everything for Valor. He rushed for 359 yards, averaging 10 yards per carry, and scored three touchdowns. The 6-foot, 185-pound senior caught 33 passes for an average of 14.2 yards and tallied four TDs. However, his top contribution was his presence on defense, where the defensive back made 59 tackles with five interceptions and 10 pass deflections. “I liked offense a lot,” said Lee. “I feel like I have a natural talent for it. Offense is just as much fun as playing defense. Discipline and technique is what it takes to be a good defensive back. If you have good technique and good eyes, you’ll be in the right place at the right time and you’ll make the tackles that are necessary. “I was actually a quarterback until I got to Valor. I was a running back and corner then I started playing more defensive back. I started my sophomore year at corner.” Valor coach Rod Sherman took advantage of Lee’s versatility. “He dictated coverages,” said Sherman. “And for the offense, he sometimes dictates that you don’t want to go there. Athletically he is so gifted. He also has a great feel of what it takes to play at a high level. He studies film, he studies receivers. “Some games this year we played him at safety and moved him down to corner. He’s so physical. So to have a kid that can cover the way he can but can set the edge and then offensively we used him at tailback and receiver. He’s such a versatile football player.

`Miracle’ donor saves Parker woman’s life Town resident urges others to give organs By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Even though Yvette Matthews believed she wouldn’t live through the end of the year, she never gave up hope. Like others who have experienced significant, life-altering moments, Matthews remembers exactly where she was and what she was doing when the phone rang. It was around 2 p.m. the day after the 2013 Super Bowl, and the Parker resident was sitting at her kitchen table eating a bowl of soup. A liver was available, the caller said, and she needed to get down to the hospital immediately for her long-awaited transplant. “I was crying,” Matthews said. “(The coordinator at the hospital) could barely understand anything I was saying.” Matthews had spent seven years on the liver transplant waiting list and already defied the expectations of doctors, who said during her 2001 diagnosis that she wouldn’t survive another 10 years without a cure or a transplant. Matthews had a rare liver disease called primary sclerosing cholangitis, and the illness slowly took away her ability to do her favorite activities, particularly running. She also had to quit her job. But the phone call changed everything. She packed a few personal belongings, called her family and friends with the incredible news, and had a friend drive her to the hospital. Less than two hours later, she was getting the transplant that would save her life if everything went according to plan. “It was pretty amazing because it was so unexpected,” Matthews said. One year later, she was participating in the Transplant Games of America with Team Rocky Mountain, and brought home nine medals. It was a return to normalcy and a triumph that Matthews says she “never would have pictured.” Matthews had been such a believer in the power of organ donation that she began volunteering for the Donor Alliance before receiving her transplant. She was surprised
After spending seven years on the liver transplant waiting list, Parker resident Yvette Matthews is in good health again. She walked in the Parade of Light in downtown Denver Dec. 5 to advocate for organ donation on behalf of the Donor Alliance. Courtesy photo by the number of people on waiting lists and “wanted to do something to change that.” Earlier this month, Matthews walked in the Parade of Lights in downtown Denver, escorting the “Donate Life Colorado Gift of Life” balloon while carrying a poster advocating organ donation. The poster will also hang at Parker’s Department of Motor Vehicles office, where residents ultimately make the decision of whether to become an organ donor.
Matthews, 60, couldn’t be more grateful for the decision made by a man in his 20s, whose donated liver gave her a new lease on life. “Because of how long the list is, I thought it was a miracle,” she said. “I still wake up and realize just how lucky I was.” Matthews has a large scar on her abdomen and must take anti-rejection pills twice a day for the rest of her life, but she says it’s a small price to pay. Every time she volunteers on be-

half of the Donor Alliance, Matthews gets at least one person to sign up as an organ donor. It might sound cliché, but she knows that one person can have an exponential impact. A single donor can save up to eight lives through donation and heal more than 100 people through tissue donation, according to the Donor Alliance.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 22, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Your love of the holidays creates a special bond between you and the people in your life. Use this as a way of building stronger relationships that will carry over well beyond this time. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A new approach could go a long way toward resolving a painful estrangement, especially at this holiday time. And since your aspects favor friendship this week, why not go ahead and try it? GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your positives continue to dominate, and any negative factors that squeeze in can be dealt with easily. The secret is to tackle them at once and not allow them to benefit by your neglect.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Good news: A colleague’s remarks could help you move toward ultimately resolving that persistent workplace situation. Meanwhile, enjoy the holidays with loved ones. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) No one reflects the bright holiday more than all you Leos and Leonas who love the shimmer and glimmer of the season. P.S.: There just might be a very special something from Santa. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Celebrate the holidays by being more receptive to new experiences. Overriding the Virgo reluctance to try new things could be the best gift you’ve given yourself in a long while. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Good news about a loved one makes the holidays even more festive. Expect some unexpected gifts, so be prepared with a few nicely wrapped packages of goodies to offer in return. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) The holiday season provides an opportunity to meet new people, some of whom you might even consider “worthy” enough to join the Scorpio’s select group of friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You always bring your own wonderful sparkle and light to the holidays, and don’t be surprised if this year someone special reaches out to respond to your warmth in kind. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Togetherness is the dominant theme for the Goat’s holiday celebrations this year. That means reaching out to bring everyone you care for into your very own special circle of light. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A reminder of a very special moment from the past makes the holidays more memorable for the romantic Aquarian. New friendships hold the promise of a romantic future as well. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Getting into the swim of things for all you party-loving Pisceans is easy enough this holiday season. And, of course, you can expect to impress people wherever you go. BORN THIS WEEK: Your dedication brings you the success you strive for, and your generosity impels you to reach out and help others on their way up. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
