Newton kids learn STEM concepts with a dose of generosity By Jennifer Smith

that might happen to me.” The diagnosis came during a visit to Children’s Hospital, one he did not particularly enjoy. “Most of the kids are there for a long time,” he said. “I was there for 10 hours, and I was bored.” So when Marc Finer, Price’s STEM teacher at Newton Middle School, came up with the idea to make kaleidoscopes and donate some to Children’s, Joshua thought that was a great idea. So did Joyce Butler, who is on the hospital’s board of directors. “This is a great way to pay back the community and share back your experience and your

knowledge with a whole bunch of other kids,” she told Finer’s class on Dec. 18, during her visit to accept the kaleidoscopes. The students were excited to explain how they made them, and to show off the laser engraver they used to write “Manufactured and donated to Children’s Hospital Colorado by Newton Middle School’s STEM classes” on the oak and cherrywood base, along with the date and school logo. They carefully placed three mirrors in a plastic tube to form a triangle, then filled it with mineral oil and colored sand. When

aimed at a light source, the effect is a swirling cacophony of sparkly beauty. “The children will be really fascinated with this,” said Butler. “And what a wonderful time to receive them. A lot of kids have to be there for the holidays.” The idea came in part because Finer’s 14-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn, has been volunteering at Children’s for nearly a year. “She loves it,” he said. “She’s gained perspective on what the children are going through. Not everyone is perfect. Everyone goes through their own struggles.”

South metro stories of the year A look at the top 10 of 2014 Staff report In the south metro Denver area, this past year was one of hope and change, inspiration and pain, growth and remembrance. The following are the top 10 stories of 2014, in no particular order, as chosen by Colorado Community Media’s editorial staff.

In November, Colorado’s unemployment rate fell to 4.1 percent, the lowest since early 2008, before the recession slammed the country. The south metro area did its part in job creation in 2014, as businesses continued to find the region an attractive place to set up shop or expand. Some of the major developments of the year: • Sterling Ranch won another legal battle in

February and forged ahead in northwest Douglas County. At build-out, the development is expected to include more than 12,000 homes and spawn a number of businesses around it. • Charles Schwab opened its new Lone Tree campus in early October. As many as 4,000 employees are ultimately expected to work inside the office buildings. • Also in October, plans were unveiled for Year end continues on Page 4

Local kittens hit the big time Several chosen for photos in calendar By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Kittens live as adventurous a life as they can muster within the confines of their home. But sometimes if they’re spotted in the act of adorability, they can become an international star, if only for a day. Curious, bug-eyed and playful, they have names like Miss Annabelle, Sweetie Cake and Fancy Pants, and they hail from as far away as Canada and Japan. The majority of the subjects in the “365 Days of Kittens” calendar for 2015, however, live in the United States, and a few are from the Denver metro area. There is “Yoda,” a gray ball of fluff from Parker snapped while stalking prey in a patch of grass. Then, there are Sydney and Aimee, Highlands Ranch siblings with big, blue eyes and pointy ears, who look like they’re up to no good. Kathy Flanagan, a resident of Castle Rock, has five of her kittens featured in the 2015 calendar, distributed by Workman Publishing Co. Inc. In fact, several kittens that she has fostered on behalf of the Cat Care Society in Lakewood have crept their way onto the pages of the calendar and, in turn, into the hearts of feline-lovers over the years. This year, Divot, Widget and Brassie each get their own day, while lazing litter-mates Fancy Pants and Fanta are forced to share Sept. 3. “It’s so much fun,” says Flanagan, who has fostered more than 300 kittens. “Everyone (selected for the calendar) gets one for Christmas. I have one for work and home.” It was 13 years ago that a friend gave her a kitten calendar, and Flanagan saw the entry form on the back. Knowing that she had “plenty of great raw material” to work with, Flanagan started shooting photos with her digital camera. The photos that appear in the 2015 calendar were taken more than five years ago, and Brassie, Widget and Divot are all grown up and have found forever families. By being immortalized in the calendar though, memories of the kittens will endure.

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.

The Jones District, and early stages of groundwork began on the mixed-use development in Centennial. The project calls for 1.8 million square feet of residential, commercial and retail establishments. • In November, a $177 million project broke ground in Castle Rock. The Promenade at Castle Rock will feature 1 million square feet of retail and dining establishments. Meanwhile, national retailers continued to pick the south metro area as their first Colorado home. Following in the footsteps of IKEA and Cabela’s in recent years, L.L. Bean opened in Lone Tree in November. At the same time, the area continued to grow into something of a hub for the craft beer industry, with breweries popping up, particularly along the C-470 corridor.

Community seeks answers, healing The Dec. 13, 2013 shooting at Arapahoe High School left two students dead, and painful emotions and questions swirled into

2014. The biggest question seemed to be this: Could the school district have done more to prevent Karl Pierson’s attack, which ended with his suicide shortly after he fatally shot Claire Davis? In October, 10 months after the shooting, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office released a 37-page summary of its investigative report. The probe found no criminal liability on the part of the school district. The report revealed that Pierson had several run-ins with school administration and had kept a diary that was a window into a troubled soul bent on mayhem and murder. But 2014 was also a year of healing for the Arapahoe High community. In August, Clarity Commons, a peaceful park-like space, was dedicated in Claire Davis’ honor on the Arapahoe campus. The school library where Pierson shot himself to death was remodeled and reopened. And on the one-year anniversary, hundreds turned out for a candlelight ceremony at the school. “We are stronger, we are more aware, we are focused, we are kinder, we are united and, ultimately, we are successful,” student body president Sanjay Patil said during the event.

More than a game

Bailey Roby just wanted to play. But the Mountain Vista High School basketball player made headlines around the country when he couldn’t. His two prosthetic legs got him up and down the court just fine — it was the Colorado High School Activities Association that temporarily kept him out of the game. Citing safety risks to Roby and the players around him, CHSAA officials in January ruled that Roby, a senior reserve for the Golden Eagles, could no longer play. Midway through the season, it looked as if Roby wouldn’t be able to contribute on the court as Vista pushed for the playoffs. News broke about Roby’s plight and traveled around the nation. At home in Highlands Ranch, his classmates took up his cause with a massive social media campaign. Less than a week later, CHSAA said OK, Roby can play, as long as both teams agree on certain safety parameters. Vista would advance all the way to the state semifinals, but fans of the team would look at Roby’s reentry as the biggest victory of the season.

A class above

The University of Colorado’s announcement in early March that it would begin classes at The Wildlife Experience in northern Douglas County in the fall was only the start. In a surprise move, the founders of The Wildlife Experience announced in September that it was donating the museum to CU, a $40 million gift that is among the largest in the school’s history. The university has renovated 11,000 square feet of underutilized space and began holding classes in the fall. A second phase of construction will begin in 2015. Meanwhile, administrators from CU South Denver have promised to maintain The Wildlife Experience’s most popular programs and keep the Extreme Screen Theater open to the public. CU South Denver has courses in business, engineering, public health, education and nursing. The planned expansion of classes in various areas of study means the university’s profile will only grow in the Douglas County community. The first classes were tailored to fit in with existing industries in Douglas and Arapahoe counties, creating a symbiotic relationship that is expected to flourish well into the future.

When Valor Christian’s football team arrived at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Nov. 29, it was looking to match the state record for most consecutive championships. Limon won six in a row in the 1960s. Valor would have to settle for five — accumulated in three classifications — after losing a thrilling, one-point game to Cherry Creek, a previously powerful program now on the upswing under one of the state’s alltime greatest coaches, Dave Logan. Earlier in the season, Creek ended another Valor streak, handing the Eagles their first loss to a Colorado opponent in 28 games. But Valor was undaunted and wound up where they were accustomed to being: at the Denver Broncos’ home field, playing for a championship. The Eagles trailed early in the title tilt, then rallied like a champion late to take the lead and stand on the cusp of matching history. A highlight-reel touchdown run by Milo Hall pulled the Bruins to within a point. But there would be no tie this late, with this much at stake. Logan opted to go for a twopoint try. Creek converted, stopped the ensuing Valor drive and took home the ninth title in its history and first since 1996.

Changing of the guard

At the end of January, longtime Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson handed over the reins to David Walcher. Robinson’s retirement would mark just the first of several high-profile leadership changes in the south metro area in 2014. Consider: Brackney • In early March, Gary Sears announced his retirement after 17 years as Englewood’s city manager. Eric Keck took over the post in September. • In late March, John Brackney resigned with little explanation after 10 years as president and CEO of the Robinson South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. In June, Robert Golden was named his successor. • In July, Jack Hilbert left his post as a Douglas County Commissioner, a seat he was elected to in 2006, for a job with the Colorado Department of Human Services, Child Welfare Protection Division. • David Weaver, Douglas County sheriff since 2005, was appointed to replace Hilbert in late July. Weaver was then elected to the seat on the board of county commissioners in November. • Also in July, Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock was appointed to replace Weaver as sheriff. Voters chose Spurlock for the job in November. The November election brought about a number of new faces in south metro leadership for 2015, including replacements for term-limited state Reps. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, and Spencer Swalm, RCentennial; term-limited state Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch; and state Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, who decided that three terms are enough. In addition, Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy announced in October that he will retire after the end of the school year. Year end continues on Page 5

Year end Continued from Page 4

Urban renewal renewed

It all started subtly enough in Littleton, with whispers of “economic development” and “revitalization.” After it evolved into unabashed calls for “urban renewal,” which can involve words like “blight” and “condemnation,” conversations devolved into flaring tempers, name-calling and evident frustration. It became apparent after City Manager Michael Penny took the reins in October 2011 that he had big changes in mind for Littleton, a city that’s no stranger to resistance. One of the first things to be revitalized was the city’s urban renewal authority itself, which changed its name from the Riverfront Authority — its first, only and unsuccessful redevelopment project in the 1980s — to Littleton Invests for Tomorrow. Citizens for Rational Development, which has opposed most new development in the city, also kicked things into high gear, challenging LIFT’s every move. That spurred a new group, Littleton Strong, to form in support of urban renewal. Today, Littleton is faced with competing measures on the ballot for a citizeninitiated special election on March 3, arbitration with Arapahoe County, verbal warfare in public meetings and, likely, a bunch of everyday citizens who are pretty confused about the whole thing.

A banner year for Englewood Schools

History books should mark 2014 as a year of significant events for Englewood Schools, from construction of a new campus to Brian Ewert being selected as state Superintendent of the Year. The most visible change to the schools happened as all Englewood High School buildings except the auditorium and field house were demolished so a new sevenththrough 12th-grade campus could be constructed and major renovations were done at the Englewood Middle School building. When school resumes Jan. 8, the high school classes will be in the newly

completed wing, the middle school will be in the wing of the campus where high school classes were for the first half of the year, and Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School will move from northwestern Englewood to the middle school building. But the district’s focus has been improving on its mission of providing a quality education for all students, and 2014 saw positive changes in achievement. The faculty and administrators developed and instituted a streamlined instructional model for the district, and students were provided with personal technology in an effort to help students learn better. The results have been improvement and steady growth in student performance, contributing to the district accreditation improving two levels. The changes and improvements were noted when the state selected Brian Ewert as Colorado School Superintendent of the Year. He said he was honored and it was noted it was 1991 when Roscoe Davidson was the last Englewood superintendent to be named superintendent of the year.

Voters approve open carry

Castle Rock voters took to the polls to pass two highly publicized, and hotly debated, gun-related ballot measures in 2014. The ballot in the Aug. 19 special election contained two yes-or-no questions. The first was regarding the authority of the town manager to regulate the open carry of firearms in town-owned facilities and parks. The second question was on a charter amendment that would require a town vote to change gun laws in the future. Following the election, the town faced two legal challenges regarding Castle Rock’s election procedure — one of which has been dismissed and one that is still pending — and a recount. After the recount, that margin had increased to 154 votes, with 4,749 votes for and 4,595 votes against. Ballot Measure B, which puts any future changes to gun laws in the hands of town residents, passed easily the first time around, with 71.2 percent voting yes. That total difference after the recount increased by just a single vote, with 6,615 votes for and 2,683 votes against.

More than 9,400 of the 32,000 ballots mailed to voters were returned — the most ever in a Town of Castle Rock election.

Changes and court cases in DCSD Tension continued between the Douglas County School District and parent-led community groups in 2014, following a trend of recent years since the election of reform-minded school board members. Some of the key events: • In February, the district decided to appeal a Denver judge’s ruling that it violated campaign law in the 2013 school board election. • A return by the high schools in Highlands Ranch to a more traditional class schedule, away from the block schedule implemented in 2012. • An arbitrator’s June report in favor of the teachers’ union in a complaint that the district violated its sick-leave bank agreement. DCSD said it was an “improperly obtained opinion,” and it would seek a fair process to resolve the issue.

• The board’s July vote to opt out of the 2014-15 National School Lunch Program. • Disagreement over teacher-turnover statistics. State figures showed DCSD 2013-14 turnover at 17.3 percent, while the district maintained turnover was at 13.1 percent. • An October lawsuit against DCSD by the American Humanist Association for alleged engagement in religious fundraising events. DCSD said it will “vigorously defend” its students’ rights. • The state’s November decision to elevate DCSD’s performance rating to its highest “accredited with distinction” tier. • And closing out the year, the Dec. 10 oral arguments surrounding the district’s voucher, or Choice Scholarship, program before the Colorado Supreme Court. A decision could take up to nine months. Mike DiFerdinando, Chris Michlewicz, Tom Munds, Jane Reuter, Chris Rotar and Jennifer Smith contributed to this report.

South Suburban official earns national kudos South Platte Park supervisor Latona honored for interpretive skills By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Skot Latona, South Platte Park supervisor, realized his passion thanks to a scheduling malfunction. While attending Colorado State University, majoring in park and protected area management, he had a job mowing trails at the school’s Environmental Learning Center. He was all alone there one day when a school bus full of little kids arrived for a field trip. What could he do but give them the best tour he could? “It was really fun,” he said. “It really kind of opened my eyes to it. … I kind of fell in love with the people aspect of it.” After graduation, he saw an ad for a job as the education coordinator with South Suburban Parks and Recreation District. Even he is surprised that it was 17 years ago. “I came here with the intention of getting a little experience,” he said. “I had come from a mountain park, and I didn’t think I’d like being in the city. … But I’m very impressed with South Suburban and how the City of Littleton supports its trails. I’m glad I’m not in a place where I’d have to fight for the resources when it’s not valued.” Staying paid off for him this year with national recognition. He earned the Master Interpretive Manager Award from the National Association for Interpretation, an or-

While his deep awareness and knowledge is commendable, it is Skot’s creativity and passion that set him apart as a master interpreter.” Being an interpreter is more than just

CU, Jabs simplify art of starting business Center for Entrepreneurship opens at CU South Denver By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Jake Jabs would have seized the opportunity to draw from Denver’s deep pool of entrepreneurial talent. Most Coloradans know him as the successful, tiger-loving pitchman and founder of American Furniture Warehouse. But before his face and distinctive voice made their way onto our television sets, Jabs navigated a world unknown to him. For years, he struggled to avoid the common pitfalls that can derail a fledgling business. “Everything was by the seat of my pants, and I made a lot of mistakes,” Jabs says. Things have come full circle, and the University of Colorado’s Center for Entrepreneurship now has Jabs’ name attached to it. He Jabs donated $10 million to the school, primarily because he wanted to give Denver’s ever-growing contingent of entrepreneurs a chance to bypass those headaches. And because there is an inherent willingness among seasoned entrepreneurs to assist their businessgreen brethren, Jabs and CU are putting the pieces in place this spring to breed success. Known as the Launchpad, the program is intended to help entrepreneurs either start their own business or improve an existing business. “I’m a big believer in entrepreneurship,” Jabs said. “It’s driving America — new ideas and new programs, how to do things better.” By offering entrepreneurship classes at CU’s new facility at The Wildlife Experience, on the southwest corner of Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street, the south metro area is about to become a wellspring for professional talent, churning out gleaming examples of what can happen with a little bit of guidance. CU is partnering with community colleges to bring in students who have considered pursuing a full degree but don’t have the necessary time or money. By taking just a few eight-week courses on their own schedule, students can earn a certificate of entrepreneurship from CU, bolstering their traditional education with the knowledge of

how to start a business. The idea is to send them out into the world well-equipped to face any challenge. “We teach them the basic skills of business: accounting and balancing a budget and how to borrow money, how to make ends meet and live within your means,” Jabs said. Classes count toward a bachelor’s degree for anyone interested in continuing their education. While the instruction is meant to be allencompassing, there are some things that can’t be taught in a classroom. Local business leaders act as both professor and mentor, helping individual students find their path. The director of the Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship, Madhavan Parthasarathy, Ph.D., who goes by MP, said the close relationships provide students with an “experiential connection, and they need that almost as much as academics.” “The academic education will help them write a business plan, but they have to know where to pitch the business plan, and if a venture capitalist asked them how they’re going to market it, they will have an answer,” he said. The advisory council that oversees CU’s business school is composed of an all-star team of industry leaders, and with their various connections, there is a seemingly endless store of resources. More than 100 of them are tapped to review student business plans during an annual contest that provides the winner with $50,000 worth of services to start their company. Students get real feedback on what needs improvement and what will work in their favor. The result is a symbiotic relationship that could portend the future of business incubation in the state. It’s not only “very fulfilling to see young people succeed,” but the business leaders also keep a sharp eye out for talent, MP said. “They’re hoping (the Launchpad program) succeeds so well that they can hire people from it,” he said. “Some are investors themselves, and they’re looking to get in early on a good investment. If they see a great idea, they could try to get in and fund the idea.” There is optimism that Launchpad will create a positive cycle for years to come: Jabs says he hopes that students who benefit from the program will return in 10-20 years to offer their expertise to a new generation.

putting on a pioneer costume and pretending to be from days gone by. “It’s about helping people find the meaning and stories our cultural sites,” said Latona. “Pretty much every program we do here is to help people discover something. Because once you understand something, hopefully you can care for it.” A big part of Latona’s job as supervisor is to help certify newbies in his field. He’s seen people who visited the park as kids come back as volunteers, seasonal workers and even junior rangers. “It is inspiring for me to work with all the new students and to see the energy and

passion they bring to the field,” he said. “And to see the excitement when people learn something new. When they’re learning something because they want to, they learn something about themselves.” His role as a mentor is part of what earned him the NAI award. “As a supervisor and mentor, his door was always open,” reads the statement. “He taught by example … and by providing numerous opportunities for professional development. Skot is a passionate, creative interpreter and a compassionate, knowledgeable mentor.” A lot has changed in the 17 years Latona has been with the district. The 800-acre South Platte Park, once considered to be sort of out in the boonies, is now completely surrounded by development, including Aspen Grove shopping center and apartments. Each change brings challenges, he said. “The closer and the more dense it is, the less we get our generalists. It’s harder for animals that have specialty habitats,” he said, like eagles, songbirds, weasels and deer. The South Platte River project that’s under way is meant to mitigate some of the effects of modern life on the park, but Latona wishes more of the growing number of people who use the Mary Carter Greenway Trail adjacent to the park would take advantage of the interpretive services. “I’m pretty happy with what is happening here,” he said. “Littleton continues to value its parks and open space and the river. It feels pretty important to have a park you care for.”

GERARD HEALEY President and Publisher CHRIS ROTAR Editor JENNIFER SMITH Community Editor CINDY WOODMAN Marketing Consultant

Digression could be a side-to-side effect I am going to column-up today, because upping something is the latest gimmick expression, and I try to monkey see and monkey-up whenever I can. This column is gluten-free. It is also dust-free, peanut-free and animal dander-free. But I am supposed to warn you about the side effects, if you decide to read the whole thing. We usually think of side effects as being bad or harmful. But not all of them are. The side effects of love are pretty great: the intimacy, the heart-to-heart conversations, the breathless yearning for each other, breaking up, making up. Sunset walks, road trips, cornhole tournaments in the Midwest, playful arguments about the Spanish Inquisition. Studies have shown that my columns might cause some very interesting secondary effects. You may become erudite. If you have an erudition that lasts longer than four hours, congratulations. Don’t call your physician. And don’t call your doctor either. You might want a baked potato covered with cottage cheese. That’s the way I take it. The glass may no longer look half full. It might not even look half empty. I think we’re running on empty. The song “Running on Empty” was written by Jackson Browne. On the way into a Pink Floyd concert in Phoenix in 1977, a kid came up to me and said, “Are you Jackson Browne?” I guess I looked a little like he did

back then, but I don’t have his jaw. I started to sing “Doctor My Eyes,” and the kid said, “Never mind.” You might take an interest in hypothyroidism, and look up all of the signs and symptoms. I have it. I have to take pills, otherwise I guess I go off the rails. The pills have a name that no one can spell. And there is a reason for that. The chemists were all a little punchy when they came up these pills, and decided to have some fun at our expense. I take Thansyllapectinocus. It’s an anagram of “Can’t spell this, can you?” Those rascals. You might become preoccupied with finding out why they named Des Moines “Des Moines,” just like I was. I learned that they were going to name it “Nancy Louise,” but eventually thought better of it. You could experience Restless Lego Syndrome. The question becomes: Do you make an aircraft carrier or Ginger Rogers? You may try to come up with some

surprising uses for vinegar. You might worry about growing hair on your teeth. Out of the blue, you will start to use your damn turn signals for a change. Inexplicably, you might drive to an animal shelter and look at all of the great dogs and cats that need a home. You will finally give Beethoven a try. You will start to express yourself in tangents, like I do. Someone will say that it’s been a good year, and you will do five minutes on the history of vulcanization. You will find the Cheetos in the freezer, like I do. But don’t worry. This isn’t going to shorten your intestines by 21 feet. (I am paraphrasing Steve Martin.) You will forget about this column an hour after you read it and all of these side effects will have worn off. That’s the same thing that happens when I eat at that wonderful new Chinese restaurant. I forget what I had for lunch an hour later. I forget the last time I ate there. We’re getting close to the end here, and as I said, some side effects aren’t all that bad. For example, when one of my readers hits me in the face with a pie, I automatically begin to do the “Soupy Shuffle” — and that’s pretty good.

Don’t limit attempts to seek a better life Let me ask you a simple question, and you can take just a few seconds to think about this and answer it honestly. So here it is, do you think there is something you can do or say in the next day, week, month or year to make your personal life or your professional life worse? Of course the answer is yes, we could all torpedo our lives if we really tried to, couldn’t we? I mean, some of us can do something in the next few seconds or minutes to make things go horribly wrong. Now answer the same question slightly differently, is there something you can do in the next day, week, month, or year to make your personal life or your professional life better? And, of course, the answer once again is yes. So if we know that there are things we can personally do to make all aspects of our lives better, or even just any aspect of our life better, why don’t we? For some, it’s just because they have never known any differently, they allow things to happen and influence their directions and actions instead of setting their own

course for success. They attach their sail to someone else’s boat. Now, believe it or not, there are also some that are of the belief that good things or goodness only happen to other people and that those good things are out of their grasp. Or they subscribe to the old saying that “no good deed goes unpunished.” It’s time we changed that thinking and believe in goodness, good people, and good and worthy goals. Remember the two questions above, we get to choose if we will do something — anything, for that matter, that will make our lives better or worse — and that choice is up to us. It’s coming up on New Year’s Eve, and

there is no better time to think of setting and pursuing a good and worthy goal. Now many of us will set the traditional goals or check the box and proclaim our New Year’s resolutions, including more family time, lose weight, stop smoking, make more money, and a host of other personal goals. I would like to challenge us all a little more this year, think outside the box when it comes to goal setting and New Year’s resolutions. As a matter of fact, let’s forget the box, the box doesn’t exist anymore, let’s just max out or imagination and creativity and come up with goals of goodness, plans for success, and resolve to making the decisions that will make 2015 a wonderful year personally and professionally. Let those two questions I asked in the beginning of this column sink in again for a minute. Is there something, anything at all, that you can do or say that will make your life better or worse? Remember that “you” are the key in the question, “you” get to make the decision, “you” get to set Norton continues on Page 9

New Sheridan school dedicated Facility for third- through eighth-grade classes will open in January By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Ron Carter, school board president, said the Dec. 20 dedication ceremony for the Fort Logan Northgate building opens a new chapter in Sheridan School District history. “We feel the new school will bring new spirit to the district and attract new students to our district,” he said. “This was built by a state grant and voter-approved bonds for the 20 percent match. We have had heavy support from our residents and our city council to build this school that opens a new era for our district.” He smiled and said he never expected to see a new school in the Sheridan School District. More than 600 people gathered at the main doors of the school for the Dec. 20 dedication. There were a couple short speeches, the Verle Huffman Veterans of Foreign War Post 9644 honor guard raised the flag, officials cut the ribbon and everyone was invited in to look over the school and attend a program in the gymnasium. Young violin students serenaded visitors as they came into the entryway, and the middle school band played as people came into the gymnasium. The school’s new mascot, the blue and gray uniformed commander, also was on hand to greet those coming to see the new school. Visitors commented on the wide halls, classrooms with plenty of natural light and the lounges spaced around the building. A poster in the hall stated construction of the new school required 2,870 cubic yards of concrete, 500 tons of steel and 50 miles of data cables. The design is state-of-the-art, with 70 geothermal wells drilled down 500 feet to tap the earth’s resources to provide most of the heating and cooling for the building. “This is positively beautiful,” Mercedes Gutierrez said after checking out some of the facilities. “I went to school in Sheridan through my junior year, and the schools were pretty run-down. We moved back here about a year ago and not much had changed in the

schools. But now the children will be able to attend this new, modern school. This is so nice I almost wish I were back in school — almost.” The opening of the new school means changes to the Sheridan district. The aging Fort Logan Elementary School, built in 1924, is closed. Plans are for the school district to demolish the building and sell the land. Alice Terry Elementary School will now offer classes from kindergarten through second grade. All Sheridan students are on winter break until Jan. 12. When the third- through eighthgraders return, they will start classes in the new school. The school is located in the 4000 block of South Lowell Boulevard. Sheridan School District applied for and received a $23 million state BEST grant for the project, and city residents approved a $6.3 million bond issue. Michael Clough, school superintendent, said Fort Logan Northgate School is ready for students, but the school improvement project isn’t quite completed. “The new school wraps around the early childhood education center,” he said. “The center will remain in place while a new building is constructed on the west side of Sheridan Middle School. When the building is completed, the old center will be demolished.” The new school means everything to the city, Sheridan Mayor Dale Hall said. “We close one chapter in history with de-

molition of Fort Logan Elementary School and open a new chapter with this Fort Logan Northgate School,” he said. “I never in my wildest dreams expected to see a new school

built in Sheridan. But it was a vision that has become a reality. I am grateful to have it, and I see it as a great gem for our city, helping our children grow, prosper and stay in Sheridan.”

District officials held a ribbon-cutting and open house at Sheridan’s new Fort Logan Northgate school. Classes will be held for the first time Jan. 12 when Sheridan third- through eighth-graders return from winter break.

csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com The south campus of Children’s Hospital Colorado brought out a birthday cake and candles Dec. 19 to celebrate its one-year anniversary in Highlands Ranch. “As parents and grandparents, when a child has a need, we hold nothing back,” said Andrea Ferretti, vice president of Children’s Hospital South Campus. “We want to make sure every child in the metro area has that available to them.” René Garvey’s daughter receives regular treatment at the neurology department on the south campus. The family was very excited when the location opened last year, she said. It “continues to provide a great benefit to my family,” Garvey said. “We’ve greatly reduced our travel time to and from the Aurora campus.” Bringing pediatric services with the highest level of expertise to the community is the hospital’s intent, Ferretti said. “Keeping the families close to home,” she said, “allows families to have their children treated by Children’s Hospital experts in their own community.” The south campus, located south of C-470 near the corner of Plaza Drive and Lucent Boulevard, had a successful first year in Highlands Ranch. The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders treated more than 2,000 children, surgical staff performed more than 1,700 operating room procedures and the Sports Medicine Program saw 2,700 patients, Ferretti said. The south campus employs more than 30 pediatric specialists, and 110 providers practice medicine there, Ferretti said. Garvey is a mother of five, and said her youngest children especially “love the on-site child care” when visiting the hospital. All the staff members are experts at treating kids, she said. “Surgeries, invasive procedures and complex radiology tests can be a big cause of stress for children,” said Dr. Tom Majcher, director of anesthesia at South Campus. Being treated in a familiar environment, by a doctor or nurse who may even live in your neighborhood, can help

Photo by Christy Steadman with the healing process and reduce stress for the whole family, Majcher said. Children’s Hospital employs the physicians and leaders who are recognized locally and nationally for their talents, Ferretti said. “It consistently ranks as one of the top hospitals in the country,” she added, partly because of the hospital’s dedication to providing “high-quality, coordinated programs of patient care, education, research and advocacy.” Among many others, the south campus offers urgent, outpatient specialty, inpatient and surgery care services. Moving forward into the second year for the south campus, plans are in place to expand program needs, stay aligned with local and national health-care expectations and mandates and advance the model of care, Ferretti said. “It speaks to our commitment to be there for the children we serve,” she added. And the hospital received a warm welcome in Highlands Ranch. “We’re delighted with the support of the community in our first year,” Ferretti said. “We treat children (and) we’re focused on providing them the very best.”

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

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

Counties partner in pretrial software By Mike DiFerdinando

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.

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 important 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 ju-

risdictions, 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. The two counties have created a crossjurisdictional 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 major 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.”

Changing area gets nod from foodie website

Delores Peterson, of Roxborough, will exhibit this painting from a New Mexico trip in the “Art of Color” exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton. Courtesy photos

Fo u r p a i n t e r s f i l l g a l l e r y Exhibition coincides with comedy at Littleton venue By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Four seasoned area painters will collaborate to fill the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center with an exhibit called “The Art of Color” from Jan 6 through Feb. 10. The public is invited to a reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 16 in the downtown Littleton gallery. The show coincides with the comedy “The Clean House” by Sarah Ruhl, which will be playing upstairs in the theater. It’s about a colorful Brazilian maid, who would rather be a comic. The painters involved are Delores Peterson, Mary (Molly) Squibb, Maryann Leake and Saundra Lane Galloway. Peterson, who lives in Roxborough, has been a Colorado resident since 1959 and has been an active oil painter for more than 45 years, “creating in the realist tradition.” She works outdoors, gathering material in the form of oil and watercolor sketches from many areas in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Great Britain. She also takes photographs to capture details — which may or may not be included in the final painting, when it is finished later in her studio. “Inspired by workshops taught by contemporary impressionists, she is able to work en plein air, while ignoring onlookers and weather conditions.” Currently, she is concentrating on Southwestern subject matter and Western mountain landscapes, with occasional wildlife for variety. Squibb writes that she “looks for beauty in unusual places. That means being curious about `the underside of life.’ Yes, I paint traditional landscape, but I also love a tangle of leaves on a trail or colors in old oil cans by a shed. … “Scouting for painting ideas, I am often inspired by what is old and used, but wears

Thrillist.com, the Internet commentator on all things food-related, has chosen RiNo, Denver’s Riverfront North neighborhood, as one of the 18 Best Food Neighborhoods in America. While RiNo as a destination dining ‘hood is fairly new and continually growing, its foodie scene lacks historical reference to call upon, unlike other neighborhoods in New Orleans, Boston, Charleston, Chicago and San Francisco, which are also on the list. Here’s what Thrillist said about RiNo, “Once upon a time, this was a neighborhood Denverites would go to if they wanted to have a nice night out ... and then get mugged afterwards. Now? It’s practically swarming with hot restaurants and breweries. Part of that is due to The Source, an enormous 20,000-squarefoot artisan food market that houses one of Denver’s best restaurants (Acorn), coffee roasters (Boxcar), breweries (Crooked Stave) and plenty more. “Four other exemplary craft breweries have taprooms in the neighborhood as well, including the Utah-transplant Epic Brewing, which knows (its) way around a sour. For food, Work & Class serves up shared plates of delicious Latin/American food, Cart-Driver is the tiny, high-quality pizza joint every neighborhood deserves, and Los Chingones is the Mexican food outpost of one of Denver’s finest restaurateurs. And for something you likely won’t find in any other city, Infinite Monkey Theorem cans (its) own wine and has an expansive space to drink it in.” See the other 17 picks at www.thrillist.com/ eat/nation/18-best-food-neighborhoods-inamerica-flushing-west-loop-the-mission.

She worked in journalism and marketing communication until 2005, when she turned her attention fully to art. She has studied at the Art Students Leagues in New York and Denver, including extensive studies with master artist and teacher Kevin Weckbach. Leake, also a Roxborough resident, writes that she is “still painting Koi. I have been obsessing about them ever since I lived in California. … Descanso Gardens in La Canada has a beautiful tea house where the koi reside under the bridge and trees far above shade them. “I used to be a florist.” Still lifes always contain flowers.

Galloway is exhibiting mixed media pieces that are the result “of many years of experimentation. … Often, I will have several media in one painting: acrylic, paper, oil and sometimes found objects or paper casts made from my own molds. `Aspen Lights and Shadows’ was my breakout piece; meaning the first of its kind, with the abstract background and paper stream moving through and the subject matter painted a little more realistically ….” She continues that she has loved trees since childhood and walked in many forests “and actually stood and looked for long minutes trying to understand just what they were about. … I admire their strength and stamina through harsh winters and weather events ….”

Thrillist also lauded seven old-school steakhouses in Colorado. I still get misty-eyed over Emil-Lene’s Sirloin House in Aurora, which closed last spring, but this is an admirable list of steakhouses that get less mention than Elway’s, Mortons, Del Frisco’s, Shanahan’s, et al: 1. The Broker Restaurant, 821 17th St. (Remember the shrimp bowl?) 2. Mickey’s Top Sirloin, 6950 Broadway 3. The Buckhorn Exchange, 1000 Osage St., where what you’re eating glares down at you in its taxidermy form. 4. The Summit Steakhouse, 2700 S. Havana St., Aurora. We used to live within walking distance of this place where American Furniture Warehouse honcho Jake Jabs often bellied up and belted out songs at the piano bar. 5. Columbine Steak House & Lounge, 300 Federal Blvd. 6. Charco Broiler, 1716 E. Mulberry St., Fort Collins. 7. Bastien’s Restaurant, 3503 E. Colfax Ave., home of the sugar steak.

Panzano dish honored

With all the dinners and dining going on at New York City’s revered James Beard House this year, Panzano Chef Elise Wiggins’ braised lamb croquette was one of the 15 favorite dishes of the year, as noted on The Beard House official blog. Wiggins, along with other chick chefs, whipped up the winning dish during the Denver Women Chefs Rules Beard House dinner in September. And although the fave dish is not currently on the Panzano menu, the similar crochetta di cinghiale is.

Jan. 16 event will be held at Littleton venue

Although the airport may not be anyone’s favorite place to be this week, Premier Traveler readers have dubbed Denver International Airport the best airport in North America. “This honor could be attributed to a number of factors, from the plethora of stimulating art exhibitions to the eco-friendly solar energy panels, and from the friendly volunteer ambassadors to the cleanliness in every corner of the hub and the friendliness through-

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Church Women United is a 72-year-old movement of Christian women working toward peace and justice in the world, promoting racial equality and an end to trafficking,” according to local activist Pat Kenning. For 25 of those years, the local Southeast Suburban Unit has held a benefit fashion show in support of two designated charities. In the 1960s, Kenning writes, “the South Suburban Unit helped start Inter-Faith Task Force, now Inter-Faith Community Services. The Jeffco Unit started the Jeffco Action Center and the Aurora Unit started Aurora Interfaith Services — all are expanded and flourishing today.” The 2014 recipients will be the Denver Women’s Correctional Facility ministry and Warren Village, a longtime ministry of Warren Avenue Methodist Church, Denver. It helps families by providing housing, counseling, childcare, clothing and more. Each will receive $200. On Jan. 16, the CWU will hold its Silver Anniversary Fashion Show at Littleton United Methodist Church, 5894 S. Datura St., Littleton, with registration beginning at 11:30 a.m. Models will be volunteers from the SouthEast Suburban Unit, chaired by Betty Palme for many years. Clothing and accessories will be from the Neighborly Thrift Shop, 3360 S. Broadway, Englewood. The shop will bring additional clothing and accessories to sell at bargain prices. Kenning said that CWU has three celebrations a year worldwide — in hundreds of units. These are: World Day of Prayer, about

Wiggins’ winning way: “The dish was all about balance: the rustic comfort of braised lamb shank tucked within in a refined tuile, the crunchy package collapsing around the tender slow-cooked meat.” Wiggins told Thrillist all credit goes to a local producer: `The lamb that I love to use is from Triple M Bar Ranch (just east of Pueblo). The farmers and lamb ranchers work together so there’s no food waste. When all the best melons are picked, they bring in the lambs to eat up whatever is left over. Just like the old saying, you are what you eat, and that diet makes these lambs the most delicious in the world.” See the rest of the Beard House picks at www.jamesbeard.org/blog/our-favoritedishes-2014.

Steve Weist, artistic director, trombone; Art Bouton, director, saxophone: and Al Hood, band member,trumpet, will perform with the Colorado Repertory Jazz Orchestra at Lone Tree Arts Center on Jan. 23. Courtesy photo

With sell-out audiences for its past three concerts, the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra heads into 2015 with “CJRO Favorites,” scheduled for Jan. 23. (This is a change in title from a previously announced Woody Herman one.) At the close of the holiday concert, artistic director Steve Weist announced that the next offering would consist of favorite arrangements chosen by members of the band. In a Dec. 13 note, director Art Bouton, a Lone Tree resident who founded the popular band two years ago, wrote that the CJRO would “dig deep into the word ‘repertory’ for its next concert.” He continued to say that the concert “will feature works from the libraries of Count Basie, Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich and Thad Jones. Featured tunes will include ‘Stompin’ at the Savoy,’ ‘Besame Mucho’ and ‘Blues in Hoss’ Flat,’ among many other exciting classics.” The concert will conclude with the Bill Reddie arrangement of “West Side Story,” written to close each concert of the Buddy Rich big band. Bouton describes it as “seldom heard, crowd-pleasing, but very challenging

work, which can only be performed by the best of the best,” meaning the talented Colorado musicians who make up the CJRO. Other numbers on a list from Lone Tree Arts Center include: “Don’t Get Sassy” by Thad Jones; “Shiny Stockings,” composed by Frank Foster, adapted for Ella Fitzgerald; “Greasy Sack Blues” composed by Don Rader … Vocalist Heidi Schmidt will perform with the band. In this third season, with the addition of Grammynominated jazz artist and educator Weist to the band as artistic director, Bouton has formed Colorado Jazz Inc., a nonprofit corporation to help bring CJRO to national prominence. (Weist has joined the faculty at the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, where Bouton and several other orchestra members teach.) “Arts Center director Lisa Rigsby Peterson took a chance on the idea of a resident big band and we are forever grateful for her courage and vision,” Bouton said. “This band has been a dream come true for me.”

Grammy-nominated Cash to play at PACE Album was meant to paint regional portrait By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Rosanne Cash, who will perform at the PACE Center in Parker on Jan. 9, has been nominated for a Grammy in the Best Americana Album category for her “The River and the Thread.” Her track “A Feather’s Not a Bird” is nominated for Best American Roots Performance and Best American Roots Song. It was co-written with her producer/arranger/guitarist John Leventhal. (Grammy awards will be announced on Feb. 8.) The new concept album includes 11 original songs inspired by recent trips to the south from her New York City home, accompanied by Leventhal, who is her husband. She set out to trace her heritage. She visited Arkansas, where her father, Johnny Cash, was raised; Texas, home of her mother, Vivian Liberto; and Virginia, where her stepmother, June Carter, was raised. The album is a regional portrait, ac-

Each song depicts a person or town and tells a story. Collectively, they offer a portrait of a region, she said. “The River and The Thread” placed first on the Americana Top 100 Albums of the Year chart, compiled by the American Music Association. Released in January 2014, it received praise from Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Newsweek and People, and was on the Best of 2014 lists of numerous critics. Cash was born in Memphis, Tenn., raised in Southern California and has resided in New York City for many years. She has published four books, including a memoir, published essays and fiction in periodicals, and recorded 15 albums.

Intellectual property is subject of classes Expert offers three free sessions at Curtis center By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Who owns it? How do I show that I created it? What if someone takes credit for my work? What if someone does something that looks like/sounds like my work?” Artists of all genres are invited to three free classes at Curtis Arts and Humanities Center addressing intellectual property issues. They will be taught by Pam Roth O’Mara, a Centennial resident with mulO’Mara tiple skills in legal matters, writing, theater and more. Class times vary, but they will all be held at the Curtis Arts and Humanities Center, 2349 E. Orchard Road, Greenwood Village. • On Jan. 6 at 5:30 p.m., O’Mara will discuss “Intellectual Property Basics for Artists, Authors, Designers, Musicians, Inventors, Innovators, Photographers and Arts Management.” This session will introduce a range of intellectual property, or IP, protection methods, including copy-

right, patent, trademark and trade secret. • On Jan. 15 at 3:30 p.m., the class will cover “Managing the Intellectual Assets in Your Life: Intellectual Property Due Diligence for Estate Planning and Representation, Investing and Personal Property Management.” Untapped intellectual assets and undervalued intellectual property are detrimental to personal estates, small businesses and corporations. This session guides you through issues to consider in IP audits. • On Feb. 6 at 3:30 p.m., the class topic will be “What the Contract really says: Know What You’re Getting Into.” Have you ever signed a contract to find you’ve unintentionally agreed to something? Do you understand everything you see? “Right brain/left brain — I can go back and forth,” O’Mara said. Her bio lists numerous skills: author, artist, coach, director, instructor, performer, producer, publicist, publisher. She attended law school at night while working as a technical writer in the computer industry, gaining her knowledge about intellectual-property law. But, she did not choose to go into practice, since she saw another path ahead that included arts, which were part of her life. She recalls her first Broadway show, a birthday celebration, in 1961. She started a kids’ theater when 15 or 16 and learned improv skills when interning at a regional theater on Long Island. She lived in New England for 30 years and moved to Colorado almost eight years

ago with her brother, sister-in-law and father. And she married at that point as well. She prepared 20-minute improv routines and wants to use the skill to do storytelling. She has performed at Bovine Theater and Denver Puppet Theater. O’Mara has taught improv skills at Arapahoe Community College and will have a class starting at ACC in February for six weeks. She is presently teaching computer technology in the paralegal program and will be teaching about intellectual properties in fall 2015. In summer, she has worked and volunteered at South Platte Park, where she introduced her “Thumb Print Plays” to kids and adults. One writes observations from a nature walk, for example, in a spiral from the outside in, forming a thumbprintshaped poem/play. She started writing these for herself first and has published a little book of clever observations, called “Nature Nurture.” Kids enjoy writing these and acting them out. Another project in the works is a book about the South Platte River flood of 1965, which caused great damage — and was the starter for developing the wonderful South Platte Park. She will devote profits to the park, hopeful that children who might not otherwise have the chance can come to visit … For the year ahead, it will be Greenwood Village classes, ACC classes, completion of the book and time with her husband and a photogenic miniature long-haired dachshund.

Area coaches agree: Good hockey goalies can steal wins By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Hockey goalies, baseball pitchers and quarterbacks have a lot in common They are vital to the success of a team. “Goaltending is like pitching in high school, college and professional hockey,” said Cherry Creek hockey coach Jeff Mielnicki. “If a goaltender shuts the other team down your chance of success improves.” Heritage coach Jeremy Simms claims it is not unusual to have goalies steal games in Colorado prep hockey. “A good goalie can make an average team competitive and a competitive team great,” said Simms. “I have seen a number of games where the goalie is the only reason a team has won.” Mountain Vista coach Lev Cohen agreed. “Goalies are a major part of a team’s success,” he said. “Having a strong goalie gives the forwards confidence to play aggressive offensively and take chances. Goalies are similar to quarterbacks in football in that they can steal a game for you. “The great part of hockey, though, is having a strong defensive core and forwards that are committed to playing defense, which also helps with making goalies successful.” Andrew Nash, an Arapahoe High School senior, has been a four-year goalie for the Heritage co-op team and doesn’t mind being bombarded by shots during practice or having players celebrate when they score. “They have to celebrate like that because they don’t score very much,” Nash said. “Goalie is a fun position. I like getting hit with a lot of things. I’ve been a goalie for eight years. I tried it once and I loved it. I model myself after Patrick Roy.” Cohen has three goalies competing for the No.1 job for Mountain Vista. Tanner Munn, a Rock Canyon student, saw action in two games last season for the Golden Eagles. Mitch Volmert, who

Heritage goalie Andrew Nash will begin his fourth season with the Eagles’ co-op hockey team and models himself after Patrick Roy. Nash is a senior at Arapahoe High School. Photo by Jim Benton attends Chaparral, and Jackson Schoech, a Legend student, are new to the team. “Every time you get scored on, you try to clear your mind and worry about the next shot,” Munn said. “It’s not really who is the better goalie. It’s all a mental game, focus and preparation.” Volmert knows he is competing for one of the most important positions on the team. “The goalie is the most important part of the game in my opinion,” he said. “If you have a bad goalie and you have a good team, one bad shot can go in and ruin the team for the rest of the season. The goalie needs to be good. The defenseman around help and then will rely on the goalie.” Schoech feels a good netminder can be an equalizer.

“If the team is having a bad game and you are a good goalie, you can change the game,” he said. “If you face 50 shots in a 1-0 game, you can give your team confidence that we can win the game.” Brady Mielnicki is a senior and returning starter at Cherry Creek, which also has goalies Austen Strauss and Scout Stalcup on its roster “Great goaltending is a key asset to a successful team,” said Brady Mielnicki. “A goaltender’s performance defines the outcome of a game. The role I fill is as important as each and every one of my teammates. “A team builds off their goalie; a big save can lead to a teammate scoring a game-winning goal. It is easy to take great goaltending for granted, but it is hard to replace a great goalie.”

Football in his blood Former college star, pro player turned his competitiveness into successful real estate career By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Bobby Burnett is the owner of Keller Williams Realty DTC, but it’s hard to tell that walking into his office. Football memorabilia is all over the walls and shelves. He was wearing a Keller Williams shirt and his assistant donned a Denver Broncos jersey on a recent visit to his office. Burnett, who lives in Castle Rock, was a running back at Arkansas and scored the winning touchdown in the 1965 Cotton Bowl win over Nebraska which earned the Razorbacks the Football Writers Association of America and Helms Athletic Foundation national championship. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and former college and NFL coach Jimmie Johnson were also on that Arkansas team. Burnett was the 1966 American Football League Rookie of the Year with the Buffalo Bills, but a knee injury hampered the remainder of his pro football career. He played three games for the Denver Broncos before retiring in 1969. “Real estate seemed like a natural thing to do when I stopped playing,” said Burnett. “I was keeping my options open before I went into the real estate business. I wanted to see if I could really do this, make any money. I was thinking about going into coaching. “The whole idea of real estate is the people who are the most successful are the most consistent. That’s the same thing as with a football team. The more consistent you are the more success you will have. It’s the same thing in real estate. The consistent agents that can keep their business consistent are going to do a lot better.” He had offers to continuing his pro football career but declined. “Back then in the offseason most of the guys had to work,” he explained. “I was working for six months and made more money in those six months than I had the

previous three or four years playing ball. I said, `Hum, this is working pretty good so I think I’ll do this.’ “I had the Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chiefs, San Diego Chargers and several teams that I was talking with. I just said, `No, I’m just going to retire.’ ” Burnett, 71, had two grandsons play at Castle View, and he was a volunteer coach at Columbine and Arapahoe for a few years. He also coached his sons and grandsons in youth football. Colorado high school football doesn’t match up with southern prep football, Burnett said. “I love high school football,” said Burnett, who played high school football in Smackover, Ark. “I love going to watch it. It’s (Colorado prep football) progressed but not appreciably. I don’t know how to describe it. Growing up in Arkansas, high school football down there is a religion almost. All the kids play it. “There are a lot of good football players here in the state. I don’t understand why more of them don’t go to Colorado or Colorado State. If some of our high school teams would go down and play in Texas and places like that, they would get killed. There are a lot of good football players in Colorado, but just not as many.” Burnett remembers the popularity of high school football in Arkansas. “When I played there was only a population sign when you came into town,” he said. “There was this little sign that said population 1,340 people. They sold 2,000 season tickets. They came from these little towns all around there.” Burnett recently went to a recruiting night at Valor Christian with his grandson, Mason Alldredge, who was a linebacker at Castle View last season. It was nothing like when he was pondering college offers. “My dad (Clell) was a coach,” he said. “He was personal friends with Alabama’s Bear Bryant, Charlie McClendon at LSU and Darrell Royal at Texas. I was recruited by those schools. Growing up in Arkansas, I wanted to be a Razorback. The Razorbacks came in on me really late. As soon as they offered me a scholarship, I took it.” As a former running back, Burnett offered encouragement to the Broncos’ ef-

Photo by Jim Benton fort to balance their offensive attack. “They needed more running,” said Burnett. “Honestly over the last few years their running back corps hasn’t been very good. It was still questionable this year. They have some kids right now that can flat run. That’s what they have needed. They need kids that can turn nothing into four yard gains. Before maybe nothing was nothing or a one-yard gain.” Bronco backs C.J. Anderson, Juwan Thompson and Jeremy Stewart have impressed Burnett. “Now these kids make four or five yards a whack no matter what, and they know how to run,” he said. “They are in-

stinctive runners. This young corps of running backs they have now is the best corps they have had in a long time. “You are not going to win the Super Bowl by Peyton Manning throwing 50 or 60 times. You might look good getting there, but you’re not going to win. What they are doing is on purpose to build and they have been able to win anyway. They have forced the issue. They have moved the lineman all over. The last three or four weeks have almost been like training camp. But they have been winning anyway. If they hadn’t been winning, they would have changed everything else. Plus it is going to save Manning.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 29, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) The New Year brings challenges that can change many things in your life. You need to be prepared not only to confront them, but also to deal with what happens afterward. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You have what it takes to set your goals quite a bit higher this year. Learn what you need to know and put what you learn into your efforts. A partner offers loving support. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) In true Gemini Twin fashion, you’re conflicted about a decision you know you’ll have to make in this New Year. Best advice: Get the facts before you make any commitment.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A friend offers you an exciting opportunity for this New Year. Although your positive aspects are strong in most respects, caution is advised. Investigate before you invest. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You can make this New Year a roaring success. Start by readjusting your goals to reflect the changes in the economy. Your den-mate offers both wise and loving support. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) The New Year brings new opportunities for change. But you need to be ready to move from the comfortable status quo to the challenging unknown. It’s up to you. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your most important New Year’s resolution should be to work out problems with a family member in order to avoid continuing misunderstandings. Do it soon, for both of your sakes. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) The New Year has much to offer the intensely determined Scorpian, who isn’t afraid to take on challenges and stay with them until they surrender their rewards. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You’ll have many fine opportunities in this New Year. But be warned: Reject offers of “help.” You work best when you’re free to be your own creative self. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The New Year offers changes that you might feel you’re not quite ready for. Best advice: Deal with them one step at a time, until you’ve built up your self-confidence. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Travel is a dominant aspect of the New Year. This could mean relocating to another city (or even another country) in connection with your education or your career. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) This New Year brings news about a change you’ve been anticipating. You might have a problem persuading a loved one about your new plans, but he or she will soon go along with them. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making people feel safe and protected. You would make an excellent youth counselor. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Adopt Me My previous owner said that in the past I loved playing with squeaky toys and taking car rides, and did well with other dogs (though at times I could be shy with small dogs). I am seeking a no-cat household. If I might be a match for you, I hope you will come visit me today! Are you on your way? ID # 0685474

Adopt Me Danny here! I'm a special needs cat, but I have special love to give. I'm very affectionate and interactive. Getting pets from my favorite people makes me sooooo happy! My personality is gentle, kind and sweet. If your heart is extra big, then I have the heart to match it! Let's make today our special day! ID# 0687998
