Floyd Jackson died in 1951, DNA aids identification of remains By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Army Sgt. Floyd Jackson died more than 60 years ago. But loved ones - his mother, brothers and sisters, family friends — never had the chance for final closure or to honor a fallen hero with a full military funeral. Jackson paid the ultimate sacrifice for his country when he died in a Korean prisoner of war camp half the world away. Those same loved ones were plagued first with nagging, then lingering, then permanent unanswered questions. Until recently, that is. Because the right people were in the right place at the right time,

Littleton to stop use of red-light cameras Police chief says they’ve served their purpose By Jennifer Smith

Say bye-bye to red-light cameras in Littleton. On March 3, Littleton City Council voted unanimously not to renew its contract with American Traffic Solutions, the company that operates the camera system. The contract ends July 31, so that’s when the eyes in the sky will begin to come down from their perches. “We think it’s been successful in a way, and not as successful as we’d hoped in a way,” Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens told council. Stephens At the time council implemented the program in 2009, increasing safety was the stated priority. But data shows that injury accidents only decreased at three of the intersections — with the biggest drop at
Broadway and Littleton Boulevard — but actually increased at the other two. Non-injury accidents increased at all of them except Broadway and Littleton Boulevard. Violations in general have decreased from a high of 16,000 in 2010 to 9,000 last year. That means a couple of things, said Stephens. First, the lights did what they were supposed to do and changed driving behavior. Second, the cost to the city per violation was getting increasingly more difficult to justify, as fewer tickets meant less money to pay ATS. ATS charges the city per passing vehicle, not per violation, averaging about $650,000 a year. Up until now it’s generated some revenue for the city, but Stephens said it would likely have been a deficit this year. In addition to the actual cost is staff time, because Littleton’s policy was for a sworn officer to review every photo. That meant 7,381 hours over the six-year life of the program — hours those officers weren’t on the street in a department that already struggles to stay fully staffed. Red lights continues on Page 10

Housing Options trustee speaks from experience Single mom serves on board for seven years By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com South Metro Housing Options board member Esther Varela knows a lot about what the agency’s clients need and want, because she’s one of them. Varela, 40, grew up in Denver. She got married, had three boys and moved to Littleton, where she got a job with the Arapahoe County Motor Vehicle Division. “I love the schools, and I like Littleton as my home,” she said. Then, suddenly, she was a single mom. “I had to do something to support my family,” she said. So she found herself in the SMHO office, applying for help.
That’s where she first heard the name Libby Bortz. Bortz helped get the housing authority started in the 1970s while working with the League of Women Voters, and remains on the board today. Little did Varela know then what an impact Bortz would have on her life. The two met at Arapahoe Community College about seven years ago. Getting help with housing costs had allowed Varela to sign up for computer-programming there, and both were regulars at its gym. They got to talking one day, and when Varela mentioned she knew of Bortz because she was an SMHO client, Bortz urged her to apply for a seat on the board. “It’s hard not to see how intelligent, centered, thoughtful and wise she is,” said Bortz. “When I found out she was an LHA resident I urged her to apply for the board. She has proven to be all the good things I could identify in her.”
WHAT THE HAIL! - The Preferred Local Roofing Company for Many Insurance Companies, Hundreds of Agents, and Thousands of Coloradans - No Creepy Door Knockers - Free Inspections
Varela said she wasn’t sure she wanted to do it, but Bortz proved persuasive. “She said, `You want someone like you on the board. You don’t want someone who doesn’t care about the position,’” remembers Varela. “She was such an inspiration, and she still is. The whole board is. They’ve taught me a lot.” Part of what she’s learned is why the authority does things that can be frustrating for residents but are required steps in the bureaucracy. “We have to jump through a lot of hoops,” she said. But jump she did, and today she’s the first person in her family to graduate from college. She has her degree in software engineering and works for the Governor’s Office of Technology, supporting motor-vehicle departments across the state. Her first job right out of college was with a private firm, and she was making good
money. But she got laid off after two years and now is working her way back up, still with help from SMHO. “I still want to accomplish being a homeowner, and I’m getting closer,” she said. “I’ve overcome a lot, and without their help I wouldn’t be where I am today.” She’s proud to be a voice for her fellow SMHO residents, and to be able to contribute to the conversation. And from people like Bortz, she’s learned about the importance of community involvement — something she wishes more of her generation would value. “The baby boomers are really into community and politics,” she said. “I think we’ve lost some of that, like it’s not going to matter if we get involved. I used to not even be a voter, but this has taught me the importance of community in my own back yard.”

Safety pros offer advice for schools Littleton district doing well overall, they say By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton Public Schools does not have a safety crisis on its hands, according to professionals brought in to address its safety and mental-health advisory committee during a four-hour workshop held on Feb. 28. “You are above most districts in America,” said Michael Dorn of the nonprofit Safe Havens International. “It’s nothing you’re doing wrong, but people don’t get that message.” Dorn noted that LPS has adequate technology, student-resource officers, campus monitors — all the same things as many districts that haven’t experienced tragedies like the murder/suicide at Arapahoe High School in December 2013 that took the lives of Claire Davis and the shooter, Karl Pierson. “LPS is doing typically what schools across Colorado are doing, and Colorado
is good nationally,” agreed Linda Kanan, former director of the Colorado School Safety Resource Center’s Department of Public Safety. “That doesn’t mean to say we all don’t change our procedures. We don’t even teach reading like we did 20 years ago.” She praised the changes LPS has made since the shooting, including adding SROs and having the district’s mentalhealth and security teams meeting together weekly to review every discipline action. “You already have some things in place; it’s a question of how you expand it,” she said. She suggested some areas that could be improved, including keeping better local data. “State and national data do not give you a true picture of LPS kids,” she said. “You can dig into the (local) data and get a lot of good information.” She said the district should consider universal applications of preventative programs rather than allowing each building to pick and choose from among district-supported options — a suggestion Guy Grace, the district’s head of se-
curity, wholeheartedly agreed with. Kanan also stressed that the district should have formal information-sharing agreements with law enforcement rather than the informal channels created among employees of the district and outside agencies. “You do need to think about that,” she said. “But you did a great job pulling the community together in crisis. Having those relationships is important.” Mary McGlone, former school-board president and current president of the Littleton Public Schools Foundation, wondered how much more schools can do. “How do we bring the family into the fix?” she asked, adding that schools have become a “catch-all” instead of being focused on the task of education. “It’s all got to be woven together,” said Kanan. “There’s got to be a way to embed
it so it’s not one more thing, it’s part of the whole thing. … It’s everybody’s job. School safety and the well-being of kids is everybody’s job.” Dorn suggested a lot can be accomplished just by improving the “body language” of a building. “Don’t remind me of a prison,” he said. “And don’t forget these children you have chosen to serve.” “Safety and learning go hand in hand,” agreed Kanan. “There’s so much evidence that we have to do more, but the focus has been on academics. It takes incidents like yours to bring the focus back.” Another way to keep safety in the forefront is to give district employees smaller bites of training on a regular basis instead of long sessions once or twice a year, said Dorn. “It keeps people at that higher state without scaring them,” he said.

Money disparity doesn’t decide election Smaller checkbook carried the day in urban-renewal vote
Turnout OK, but not record-breaking
By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com When the dust settled after the special election, a first glance at the results seemed to indicate that grassroots prevailed over Goliath. But is that really what happened? Both ballot measures dealing with urban renewal — the purview of Littleton Invests for Tomorrow, the city’s urbanrenewal authority — passed easily March 3, even though they were sponsored by competing groups with very different objectives and very different bank accounts. Initiative 300 requires a vote of the people every time a change is made to an urban-renewal plan area. It was sponsored by Your Littleton, Your Vote, which had raised less than $2,500 as of the most recent reporting on Feb. 18. The measure’s objective was to rein in the government’s power to make decisions about development that occurs throughout the city. Issue 2A was sponsored by Keep Littleton Strong, a group supported by business and real-estate groups, and others who hope development takes off strong in Littleton. The group raised more than $90,000 as of Feb. 18. Issue 2A simply bans the use of eminent domain and condemnation unless a property owner requests them. Both sides actually supported 2A, even though Keep Littleton Strong intended for it to be a less-restrictive alternative. They hoped people would find it a sufficient check on government, one that would derail 300. “The result on Initiative 300 is a disappointment and an unfortunate outcome for Littleton residents and taxpayers,” said Ben King, spokesman for Keep Littleton Strong. “We believe voters were misinformed about urban renewal when they signed the petition and throughout the campaign. As a result, with the costly constraints that 300 puts on urban renewal, Littleton will have diminished

opportunities for quality, transformative economic development.” But Paul Bingham, YLYV’s registered agent, said it didn’t matter to them one way or another if it passed, since 300 would basically eliminate the need for it. But, he said, they thought it would be easier for people to remember to just vote for them both. “We … thank the people of Littleton for understanding our message and voting yes overwhelmingly for charter amendment 300,” he said. “We sincerely believe it will cause LIFT to present meaningful, well-thought-out urban-renewal plans from here on out to the people of Littleton.” YLYV put itself out there from the beginning as the little guy under attack from big money. But community activists, former councilmembers, current and former appointees to the city’s boards and commissions, former school-board members, Littleton Public Schools representatives and the like are well represented on both sides, so the argument could be made that both are the very definition of grassroots. “The community citizens most in-

Voters pass both urban-renewal measures By Jennifer Smith
Both measures on the March 3 specialelection ballot passed by wide margins. The election asked Littleton voters to weigh in on two measures dealing with urban renewal. Initiative 300 requires a vote of the people every time a change is made to an urban-renewal plan area. It passed with 60 percent of the vote, 5,755 to 3,811. Ballot Issue 2A bans the use of eminent domain and condemnation unless a property owner requests them. Slightly less than 70 percent of voters said yes, passing it 6,583 to 2,890. The first test of 300 will likely come next month, because Littleton City Council on Feb. 17 tabled a change to the Santa Fe plan until after the election. Voters could now face another one to decide whether urban-renewal financing tools
will be available for the 111-acre agricultural property in the southern Santa Fe plan area as they are now for the other three — Littleton Boulevard, Broadway and Columbine Square — as well as the northern portion of the Santa Fe plan. This election doesn’t change anything that had already been done, according to Jim Rees, the executive director of Littleton Invests for Tomorrow. City Manager Michael Penny said not much will change for him, either. “My job is the same, and the challenges for development are the same,” he said. “It’s all good.” Littleton Mayor Phil Cernanec said council, too, will stay on course. “Regardless of the voters’ decision, the city council and I will continue engaging with citizens and encouraging healthy dialogue on the very important issues we face,” he said. “It is, and always has been, our goal to look for ways to keep Littleton moving forward.”
volved in the grassroots campaign have been involved in Littleton for many, many, years,” said Kay Watson, who worked with Keep Littleton Strong. “We have invested our time, volunteerism and energy into Littleton and we will continue to do so. We are not outsiders. We are all a part of Littleton.” Bingham describes a similar approach. “(It) was grassroots, low-dollars, doit-yourself, local donations,” he said. “We walked the streets with fliers and yard signs. We kept track of who had voted so we could target our post cards. At the end, we made personal phone calls, rather than robo calls, to those who had signed our petitions but had not voted yet. Our group substituted hard work over long hours since we did not have thousands and thousands of dollars.” Bingham said his group spent $6,218 just to petition 300 on the ballot. Keep Little Strong, on the other hand, saved a lot of money by not having to petition their issue onto the ballot; they simply asked Littleton City Council to add it in December, which it did by a vote of 5-2, with Peggy Cole and Jerry Valdes dissenting. Some in YLYV accused their opponents of taking the lazy approach, but Kristen Schledorn, city attorney, said citizens are completely within their rights to ask their elected representatives to sponsor that legislation. “I am highly insulted by those folks who referred to this as a lazy approach,” said Mayor Phil Cernanec at the time, noting he’d spent two campaigns walking miles and knocking on doors to get elected to represent the people. The biggest donation to Keep Littleton Strong was $30,000 from the National Association of Realtors. Other big chunks came from the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, Oakwood Homes, McDonald Automotive, the Apartment Association of Metro Denver and other state and national groups. But of 69 total donors to KLS, only 23 are businesses or organizations. That leaves 46 individuals, all but seven with Littleton addresses.
As of the last reporting period, which ended Feb. 18, Keep Littleton Strong had raised $90,865. Of that, more than half came from local and national Realtor associations. Almost half went back out to consultants, with nary a yard sign in sight. They relied mainly on emails and mailers, though there was some door-todoor campaigning by volunteers. “Though disappointed with the result, we are very happy with Keep Littleton Strong’s effort and the effort of our vendor,” said Watson. “We felt the citizens of Littleton deserved to hear an opposing viewpoint than from that of the group that put the question on the ballot. We did that to the very best of our ability in a very short timeframe.” Keep Littleton Strong held off spending money until they found out whether the other side would be successful in its attempts to get 300 on the ballot, which had been working on it since August of last year. Confirmation didn’t come until December, when KLS filed as an issues committee. Regardless, YLYV’s numbers pale in comparison, hoisting up their image of taking on the indomitable giant. As of Feb. 18, the group had raised just $2,384 from 11 donors — all local individuals. Supporter Carol Brzeczek personally paid $578 for yard signs. But there is more reporting yet to come, with final numbers due on April 2. In the past, supporters of YLYV seemed to make a strong showing at the end, after the election. When they were operating as Citizens for Rational Development in the 2013 coordinated election — when they sponsored two successful initiatives — they reported just $1,180 until the final report, when they came up with a total of $5,700. Both sides say they’re glad the election is over. “We are committed to moving forward and seeking solutions to smart growth and economic development that are in the best interests of all the citizens of Littleton,” said Watson.

Littleton gets new trail for its birthday Long-awaited Littleton Community Trail dedicated March 8 By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The old “City Ditch” has taken on a shiny new mantle, having been rechristened the “Littleton Community Trail” as part of Littleton’s 125th birthday celebration. But it definitely isn’t a transformation that happened overnight. “Charlie Blosten (Littleton’s director of public works) came to the South Suburban board meeting with this vision, and we all got excited about it,” Dave Lorenz, South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s executive director, told the dozens of people who turned out early on a brisk Sunday morning for the March 8 dedication. That was five years ago. “I had to pull a rabbit out of a hat to make it happen,” said Blosten. “It’s 155 years old, and it was originally surveyed by Richard Little. But there are still parts of it that are as operational as they were in 1860. It’s pretty cool. You’re walking in the footsteps of pioneers, walking in the same ditch where the city’s founder walked.” He struggled to get cooperation from BNSF Railway, which owns land on part of the trail. But when he realized he owned stock in Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, which acquired full ownership of the railway in 2009, he packed a bag and headed to the shareholder’s meeting. That’s where he met some of the company’s public-relations folks, and voila — permission granted. “Charlie can be pretty persuasive,” said Lorenz. There were also issues dealing with the City of Englewood, which owns the water that runs through the ditch from McClellan Reservoir. “It’s still Englewood’s water, and they’re very protective of their water and the quality of the water,” said Lorenz. The $1.25 million, 1.8-mile trail was paid for with funds dedicated to preserving open space, contributed by the city of Littleton,

Photo by Jennifer Smith Arapahoe County and SSPR. The trailhead is in front of the Buck Recreation Center, and it connects Slaughterhouse Gulch on the north to St. Mary’s Church, south of Ridge Road. But it connects to the Mary Carter Greenway Trail at Lee Gulch, so one could wander all the way to Chatfield Reservoir or Harvard Park in Denver. A link to the High Line Canal opens up further possibilities from Aurora to Roxborough State Park. “The trail provides a continuous path with valuable connections to community

Littleton threw a big bang of a birthday party March 7 and March 8, kicking things off with a fireworks show at Ketring Park on Saturday night that could be seen and heard from miles away. “It was a great fireworks show,” said Carole O’Brien, who was able to watch from her daughter’s house a block away. “It scared us when it started, but we could stand on the front porch and watch it like it was right there. It was setting off car alarms.” The party continued with a reception at Littleton Museum, with folks enjoying craft beer and culinary treats from the soon-tobe-open Breckenridge Brewery Farm House Restaurant menu. Megan Burtt, winner of the 2011 Mountain New Song competition, provided entertainment, and the museum unveiled its 125th birthday exhibit. The next morning, hundreds waited in line at Buck Recreation Center for a free pancake breakfast and family activities. Gov. John Hickenlooper even got in on the action, proclaiming March 8 “City of Littleton Day.” “Littleton has since grown from its origins in ranching and agriculture to become a fully self-sustaining community with all the amenities of a modern city, and … Littleton is now home to 42,000 persons and has great schools, scenic parks, successful businesses, and a beautifully-restored historic downtown,” reads the proclamation. The Littleton Independent asked some of those who attended the pancake breakfast what they would give the city as a birthday present. Here are some of their responses: “Another great 125 years.” — The Hecker family

Being go-to person offers big benefits
You know that moment where we need help with a situation or project and someone around us says, “Don’t worry, I’ve got a guy?” Sometimes they don’t just say it, they whisper it like it’s a best-kept secret or like it’s the kind of situation or project that calls for the kind of guy that shows up in the shadows, comes from the underworld, and has a crooked smile where the short end of a cigar dangles from the corner of his lips. You know the feeling right, that, “I’ve got a guy from Detroit,” or `I’ve got a guy from New York,” who can really help you with anything — that kind of feeling. Since I am originally from New Jersey, I joke around a lot with my friends about this subject. Anytime that they bring up a situation or express a need, I say, “Don’t worry, I’ve got a guy.” Now the truth is that in most situations I do have a guy, or a gal, or a company who can help them out. You see, I have developed a fairly robust network of friends, colleagues, contractors, customers and associates who are always willing to help out if and when I need them. And one of my favorite things to do is to help connect the dots where I can so that I can help as many people as possible whenever I can. Some people call it networking and that is fine, because I guess that is what it really is at the end of the day. I prefer to feel like I am building solid win-win relationships with people who also understand that they nallycan contact me at any time as well should
wel of onth ganigacy ding and- I have a question. Name one thing that is loved, treasured and appreciated all over the a lotworld. like I Family, friends, sex, God and soup might d forbe too easy. Jennifer and I came up with fruits and le.” vegetables, and dogs and cats. She said chocolate. I said music, but that seems too inclusive. Opera and hip-hop are not loved all over the world. Or even downstairs. Art? But that’s a very big umbrella too. Shoes? Sure. And that’s all the way from Imelda Marcos, who owned over a thousand pairs of shoes, to Charlie Chaplin’s tramp, who owned only one pair — but they made him famous. Of course, going without shoes is common too. I grew up in a home where shoes were removed as soon as you walked in. Or else. Guests could leave theirs on. I think the Internet and personal computers would make the Top Ten. Maybe the Internet and personal computers would make the Top Five. I can live without my computer. For a couple of hours. Books? They would be in my Top Ten. Cell phones? Probably. Unfortunately. Not
my skills, resources or services be of value to them in their time of need. Now the network of friends, people and companies I have developed and nurtured to become what they are did not happen overnight. This has been a lifetime of giving back to them, demonstrating my love and loyalty and willingness to help. Being available to talk or act as needed. As a matter of fact, throughout my career I have made it a point to continually reach out and stay in touch with as many people as possible. A very proactive approach to staying connected. Some of you may say, well that’s just not my thing, or that is not important to me. And that’s OK, I just wanted to give you some of the benefits I see when it comes to having a guy or gal or someone you can go to in time of need. Or better yet, the benefit of being that guy or gal when someone calls you in their time of need. Recently I have helped connect the dots for people looking for work. I get resumes all the time and I always promise to keep my
eyes and ears open for opportunities to share those resumes. And recently that has worked out well for a few of my connections. When a friend of mine from New Jersey had a son visiting Colorado and needed assistance with some short-term housing, I was able to help. And when I was traveling and away from my home when a blizzard hit, I had a guy I called who handled all of the snow removal at my home so I didn’t return in the middle of the night to a driveway full of snow. (Thank you, Tim.) You see, having a “go-to” person or being that “go-to” person really does have its benefits. And when we take the time to build those relationships over the course of a lifetime, we will have such a vast network of people who are always willing to help us and we will have such a sense of accomplishment as we are able to look back on each time or event where we were placed in a position to help others as well. Are you that “I’ve got a guy” or “I’ve got a gal” kind of person? Can your skills, resources, or services be of benefit to someone else today? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we become part of someone else’s network while building a network of our own, it really will be a better than good week.

me. Live performances? I think so. My pen pal Anne Akiko Meyers plays her violin all over the planet. There are many other kinds of live performances. Cirque du Soleil goes absolutely everywhere, and everyone goes home happy. Who doesn’t like pencils? Coffee, soft drinks and hamburgers have huge admiring audiences. Is there anything more ubiquitous than Coca-Cola? I don’t think so. I came up with the best answer. Invite one man, one woman and one child from every country in the world and sit them down in a stadium and hand them a bowl and a spoon. And two scoops of ice cream.
Feds need to help counties in West For decades, communities across Colorado and the West have engaged in a contract with the federal government. This is because many counties have large swaths of federal land within their borders in the form of BLM land, national forests, and national parks and monuments. These lands aren’t taxable, and local communities often cover the expenses of maintaining access to these lands and providing safety and other first-responder services. To help offset those losses, the federal government has reimbursed states and counties through a program called Payment in Lieu of Taxes. It’s often referred to as PILT. Colorado is 36 percent federal land, and some counties in the state contain more than 90 percent federal land, making PILT critical to their budgets and planning. Twelve counties depend on more than $1 million a year in PILT funding, and Garfield and Mesa counties rely on more than $3 million in funding. In 2014, Colorado counties were owed $34.5 million in total. Communities use this money to fund critical services, such as law enforcement, fire protection, emergency response programs, road and bridge maintenance, and search and rescue operations. In recent years, ensuring the federal
government lives up to its end of the bargain has been difficult. With the end of mandatory funding due to congressional inaction, funding now has to be reauthorized every year. With all of the dysfunction in Washington, we’ve had some close calls. Many times counties have been forced to wait until deep into the fiscal year. Two years ago, we were able to secure a oneyear PILT extension in the 2014 Farm Bill after it was omitted from a government funding bill. For 2015, we funded it by cobbling together resources from two different bills. But there is no guarantee for 2016. We’ve seen similar problems with a program called Secure Rural Schools, which has a similar purpose and has actually expired completely. Counties rely on the that program to provide critical services like maintenance projects and forest Bennett continues on Page 8
There you are: It’s ice cream. We all love it. I know. I know. Some of us are lactoseintolerant. Maybe my answer isn’t the best, because approximately 65 percent of adults have a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy. And it’s 90 percent in people of East Asian descent. Okay. Let’s forget about ice cream. But it would be in my Top Ten. And I can be more specific. Ben & Jerry’s Vanilla Caramel Fudge. The balancing act of those three components is sublime. There is nothing else like it. I can do just fine with vanilla, all by itself. Vanilla has become a derogatory adjective, but not with me. And then there is Vanilla Ice, which isn’t a frozen dessert at all. The former rapper was arrested in February on charges of burglary and grand theft. The caramel aligns neatly with the vanilla, and along comes fudge to make everything perfection. It’s not a freak like some of their other flavors. In fact, you could make it yourself. But I wouldn’t get the percentages just Smith continues on Page 20
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Students need incentive on state tests
I was an educator for over 30 years. I taught high school for 27 years and I believe I had an excellent rapport with most students. When it came to CSAP, TCAP (now PARCC) exams, many told me they simply didn’t care about them. Why should they? The tests don’t count. Just another test. This is the elephant in the room: Students have little if no incentive to take the exams. Thus, there is an outspoken and growing group of parents and their school-aged children opting out of taking the test. Since the pupils don’t see the benefit or value of the tests to them, threatening teachers’ salaries or school funding won’t compel them to change their minds. What is important for most parents and students are grades and money for college. Help solve this issue by getting students invested in taking the test. How about making the state-exam results a percentage of GPA? Maybe state colleges, universities and technical schools could include state-mandated test results when awarding financial assistance. Another idea is to ask the students and their parents who opted out what would motivate them to take the test? Understanding the issue from Letters continues on Page 8

With its expiration, many rural school districts are facing tremendous budget shortfalls that will impair their ability to educate our students. With these programs in jeopardy, we joined forces with Democratic Sen. Ron

March 12, 2015
Wyden of Oregon and Republican Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho to introduce a bill to restore mandatory funding for the PILT program and extend the SRS program for three years. It will provide roughly $360 million annually for more than 700 counties across the nation. These resources are an essential lifeline for communities facing continuously shrinking budgets, and it is funding the federal government owes to them. We have worked with Colorado counties for years on these issues and have heard from county commissioners and
school districts across the state about their significance. The counties encompassing the San Juan Mountains rely on PILT funding to plow the region’s scenic mountain passes and roads, like Yankee Boy Basin Road in Ouray County, that attract thousands of visitors annually. In Gunnison County, the funding is crucial for conducting search and rescue operations in the national forests, as well as for maintaining road access to the forests. In Silverton, SRS funding makes up a significant portion of the school budget. If Chaffee County lost PILT funding, commissioners would
be forced to make devastating cuts that could result in a loss of emergency medical services. The federal government has made a promise to these rural communities. There is no reason for Congress to leave them in limbo year after year. Our bill ensures that local governments have the certainty they need to plan and budget so they can provide these crucial services. It’s time for the federal government to honor its contract with Colorado counties.
superintendent position. Anyone who believes parents should have choice in where their children attend school should be greatly concerned about the possibility of Brian Ewert coming to Littleton. I grew up in Englewood and graduated with honors from Englewood High School. As a mother, I had a choice to send my children to Englewood. I did my research and found LPS offered the best choice and scores for my children’s education; while EPS scores were below average and not offering a better choice. Unlike LPS, EPS has no charter school and has received a charter school application for the past three years and all three have been soundly rejected; and not with a normal, professional process. These
charter school applicants were treated disrespectfully on numerous occasions by Superintendent Ewert and his board. Not to include, the many games played behind the scenes. Bottom line: parents in EPS don’t have options. That’s one of the reasons we chose against EPS. While Superintendent Ewert touts his superintendent of the year award, the record of EPS’s academic performance puts it as one of the worst districts in the Denver metro area. Yet, other districts, with similar demographics and challenges are realizing improvement; EPS continues to fall to the bottom. Only 42 percent of EPS students graduate high school in four years. And only 76 percent of the district’s students actually
attend district schools. What’s that tell you? There are many more families just like ours that have left EPS for Littleton. Please don’t allow Littleton Public Schools to become the same bottom-ofthe-barrel districts we purposefully left. LPS should have a forward thinking leader who will work positively with charter schools. That’s definitely not Brian Ewert.

New event centers offer gathering space Hosts have freedom to customize everything By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Two new event centers coming to the south metro area will offer people a new gathering place for special occasions. The Falls Event Center coming to Centennial will be a 14,300-square-foot building near the southeast corner of East Costilla Avenue and South Fulton Street. The same company will open a Littleton location, a 12,000-squarefoot venue in the SouthPark area near Santa Fe Drive and C-470. Both event centers will offer guests an elegant space to host a gathering, said John Neubauer, corporate general manager for The Falls Event Center. The Falls Event Center is different in that it allows the event’s host to be in charge of everything. “They are truly venues,” Neubauer said. “People just rent the space.” Renters have the freedom to decorate the space however they want for their event, he said, and bring in their own ca-
terers and licensed bartenders. All audio and visual equipment is included. The purpose is to make the venue user-friendly without having to charge for all the extra things people usually get charged for when renting a venue for a special event, Neubauer said. The buildings at both locations will include large and small conference rooms, for corporate or business meetings, Neubauer said, and a main event hall for wedding receptions, quinceañeras, family reunions or any other type of large gathering. The buildings are expected to be able to accommodate 300-350 people, and the host may rent it for part of the day or the entire day, he said. The Littleton location “is a really good destination site,” Neubauer said, adding that the views are beautiful, with the Denver skyline in the background and the Rocky Mountains to the west. The Centennial location offers private, landscaped areas with bridges and streams, which allows people the opportunity to “get some great pictures,” Neubauer said. Centennial’s event center will be centrally located in the city, said Centennial’s principal planner, Derek Holcomb, and in close proximity to other complementary uses, such as hotels and restaurants. “It will provide a great opportunity for residents and
non-residents alike to experience the many other great businesses and attractions the city has to offer,” he said. The Falls Event Center is in the process of obtaining the building permit for the Littleton location, with the hopes of beginning construction around May 1 and finishing by the end of 2015, Neubauer said. The Centennial location is a few months behind Littleton, he said, and will be obtaining the building contract by July, and construction will start shortly after. The Falls Event Center LLC was formed in Utah in 2011, Neubauer said. The first event center opened in St. George, Utah, in 2013, and this year, other locations are to include Utah, California and Arizona. A location in Colorado Springs will be Colorado’s third site. “Denver is a really good place to be,” Neubauer said. “We expect the centers to be well received.”

camp. “Uncle Floyd died before I was born, but my family talked about how he died in prisoner of war camp,” said Joanne Mueller, Jackson’s niece and closest relative. “My daughter was looking at a family album and asked about Uncle Floyd. Not long after that, we went to a meeting for families of service personnel missing in action. The Army asked for a DNA samples from the family. That was in 2004.” It took until January for the government, using modern technology and family DNA samples, to identify the Littleton man’s remains and offer to return them to his family. “I never thought this would happen in my lifetime,” Mueller said. “I knew it was my uncle’s wish to be buried next to his mother. So, I told my children, that, if Uncle Floyd’s remains were identified and he was returned home after I died, to bury him next to his mother.” Though they are full of beautiful details and precision movement, military funerals are never easy, said 1st Lt. Joseph Zarella, commander of an honor guard from Fort Carson. “This is my fourth military funeral, and each one is nerve-racking. I go over the words in my head, but it is hard to speak those words when you look into the eyes of the loved one receiving the flag.” Jackson was born in Warrensburg, Mo., in 1930. His mother brought her six children to Littleton about 1949 after her husband died. Jackson was a teenager and worked in the kitchen at Bradley Café in the Coors Building in Littleton until he joined the Army. Jackson joined the Army in 1950. He was sent to the Far East and became a member of the 3rd Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, and 7th Infantry Division. His unit was deployed near the Chosin Reservoir in December 1950 and their position was overwhelmed by hun-

He said there should be five officers in the traffic unit, but he’s been running with just two. Pulling the plug on the cameras means more officers in the neighborhoods and in school zones, and available to address specific complaints, he said. Councilmember Peggy Cole asked whether it would be a good idea to just shut the cameras down now and put those officers back on the street, but Stephens said that as long as they had to pay through July anyway, he’d rather keep using them to pay for it. Councilmember Bruce Stahlman asked if it would be possible to buy the cameras from ATS and leave them up, just in case accidents went back up after July and they decided to reinstate the program. Stephens noted the cameras would need to be upgraded soon anyway. “It’s not an easy thing to put these systems in and out,” he said. “It’s kind of a big deal, and it can be expensive. This is kind of a permanent solution.” “I’m not sure we want to set a precedent to have fake cameras,” agreed City Manager Michael Penny. “They’re either up and running, or
Soldier followed a family tradition Army Sgt. Floyd Jackson died at a prisoner of war camp in 1951 during the Korean War. It took about 60 years for his remains to be identified and returned home for burial.

The Defense POW/MIA Personnel Office notified the family in January that Jackson’s remains had been positively identified. “Two soldiers came to my home to tell me Uncle Floyd’s body had been identified and to bring information about him and the medals the Army awarded him,” Joanne Mueller said. The Army awarded Jackson posthumously the Purple Heart, Combat Infantry Badge, Korean Service Medal, Prisoner of War Medal and National Defense Medal.

“It was one of the coldest winters on record in Korea and we were told the Communists took the coats from American soldiers and gave them to their soldiers,” she said. “The Army said many prisoners died of disease, malnutrition or froze to death.” An article about Jackson’s death in the 1953 Littleton Independent reported that the soldier was the only individual who had attended Littleton schools who died in Korea. The sergeant’s body was brought to Denver March 5 by plane, escorted to the hearse by the Army pallbearers for a procession that was accompanied by police and the members of the veterans of Patriotic Guard motorcycle group. Alan Sprig, a Vietnam veteran, wanted to honor a veteran who has been lost for so many years. “I lost men in my unit in Vietnam, and coming here today is my way of honoring all those who died in the service of his company,” the Parker resident said. “I woke up this morning looking forward to coming here today.” About 100 people — many of them volunteers, others military personnel in uniform — lined the road from the chapel to the gravesite. The sergeant’s flag-draped coffin was brought to the grave on a wagon escorted by the Fort Carson’s honor guard, and the procession passed by those lining the road, many holding flags. The honor guard placed the flagdraped coffin on the gravesite and then, with military precision, folded the flag into the traditional shape. The flag was passed to Zarella, who then handed the folded flag to Joanna Mueller. Zarella was honored to be part of the honor guard for Jackson’s funeral. “This is a special ceremony because of the history of the veteran we are honoring,” he said. “This is most beautiful military funeral I have ever been part of.”
Anti-camera movement grows Littleton City Council’s March 3 action might just end up being something it would have had to do anyway, with legislation having been introduced that could render all red-light camera controversies in Colorado moot. “Public opinion on photo red-light cameras is a controversial topic, and legislation is being debated at the state Capitol, which would prohibit its use altogether,” wrote Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens in his staff report to council. “The common public complaint they’re gone.” Stephens acknowledged that public controversy played a role in his decision, referencing an online survey of Littleton residents about the cameras that resulted in 28 people supportive of them and 22 against. “The Littleton community appears divided on the issue,” he wrote in his staff report. Pam Chadbourne, a regular critic of city council, falls in the “against” camp, saying they’re offensive, intrusive and a violation of privacy. “I’m proud of our chief of police for acting on data,” she said. “I’d like to see the city do that in more things.”
is that it does not reduce accidents and is merely a revenue-generator for cities using the systems. Those in favor of the technology support its effectiveness in promoting greater traffic safety.” House Bill 1098 passed its first committee on Feb. 25. State Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, is a sponsor of the bill. Denver, Aurora and Greenwood Village are among other metro-area cities that use red-light cameras.
Where are the eyes in the sky? Red-light cameras will remain at these Littleton intersections until July 31: • West Littleton Boulevard and South Broadway • South Santa Fe Drive and West Mineral Avenue • South Santa Fe Drive and West Bowles Avenue
• South Broadway and West Mineral Avenue • South Platte Canyon Road and South Lowell Boulevard/West Bowles Avenue

Don’t MYTH chance for
M AG I C CR EAT U R E S Dragons, unicorns, mermaids among legends at museum
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Just in time for spring break comes an exhibit about wondrous creatures of the imagination — from many cultures around the world, from land, sea and sky …. “Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns, Mermaids,” which originated at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, will be at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science from March 20 to Sept. 7. Legends date back thousands of years. In East Asia, dragons have sweeping powers, including breathing clouds, moving the seasons and controlling the waters of rivers, lakes and seas. European legends of dragons show them as powerful, wicked, dangerous …. The exhibit has a 17-foot-long model of a dragon, with wingspan of 20 feet, as well as a statue of St. George, the Christian Crusader who slew a dragon, according to storytellers. A visitor will also find toys, shadow puppets, pictures and an activity to create your own digital dragon. And one sees fossils and pictures of actual creatures that might have inspired the ancient imagination. The exhibit addresses how science has evolved. Guests will also see a 10-foot tall Kraken, a huge sea creature described in Scandinavian tales, with multiple tentacles that could attack a ship — perhaps inspired by the giant squid. Closer to home, one will see a Colorado

Young visitors will find many things they can touch and a green screen where one can take a picture of oneself with a dragon or unicorn, and there’s an opportunity to make one’s own mythic creature. “Mythic Creatures” was organized in collaboration with the Field Museum, Chicago;
Canadian Museum of Civilization, GatineauOttawa; Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney; and Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Atlanta. This exhibit also includes a very rare egg from the Aepyornis, an extinct “elephant bird” from Madagascar that laid the largest eggs in the world. It is part of the DMNS collection.
Thrifty show has passion for fashion Emmy Award-winning fashion icon Tim Gunn and Denver-based designer Mondo Guerra hosted fashion show fundraiser Goodwill En Vogue at Denver Union Station on March 5. The event featured a fashion show put on by local high school students in Goodwill Denver’s career development programs and ultimately raised more than $118,000 for the nonprofit. Gunn co-hosted the fundraiser with 7NEWS meteorologist Lisa Hidalgo. Guerra, winner of “Project Runway All-Stars,” oversaw a team of judges who scored the student design competition, which was the first fashion show held at the recently restored historic Union Station. The student winner, Jackie Rodriguez, is a junior at CEC Middle College of Denver and is receiving help to prepare for her future through Goodwill’s programs at her school. Her winning design incorporated drapes found at a Goodwill store that were transformed into an elegant pantsuit, inspired by the style and society of the 1920s, which earned her a coveted fashion design internship with Guerra. More than 450 guests viewed a multitude of upcycled designs by students from Goodwill’s high school programs, each inspired by a different decade in history. In addition, area celebrities modeled in a show of upscale, chic trends from Goodwill’s Déjà Blue Boutique in Cherry Creek North. All proceeds from the event benefited Goodwill’s career development programs for at-risk students, struggling adults, and individuals with disabilities.

Union Station makes top 11
Thrillist.com’s travel team rode the rails — at least virtually — for its list: The 11 Most Beautiful Train Stations Across America. And no surprise to Denver dwellers, the rehabbed Union Station downtown was included in the lauded list. Thrillist looked for stations that are so “beautiful, so historic, so straight-up cool that you’re more than happy to get stuck, if only to wander around for a bit and pretend you’re Eliot Ness trying to take down Al Capone.” Here’s what the website said about our spiffed-up train station: “Union Station, like Uma Thurman, may have undergone a few nips and tucks recently, but that hasn’t compromised its Beaux Arts facade, which was built in 1914. Today, the station’s most striking features include its exposed Train Hall (made of 11 steel arches), a 112-room boutique hotel, a slew of restaurants, shops, and bars and over 600 works of art on display throughout. And if that’s not enough, there’s even a 22-gate underground bus concourse lit by skylights. Okay, that was probably enough.” To see the rest of the best, go to www. thrillist.com/travel/nation/grand-centralunion-station-and-more-of-america-smost-beautiful-train-stations.

Youths on artistic track at Depot Littleton teens install their works for `InSight’ show By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com On March 2, volunteers from the Littleton Fine Arts Guild, which operates the Depot Art Gallery, opened the front door of the historic Santa Fe depot-turned-gallery for a group of the community’s younger artists to install a new exhibit. Littleton High School’s International Baccalaureate art students, plus some other advanced student artists, are exhibiting their work in a show called “InSight” through March 15. With help from their teacher, Jennifer Jeannelle, they are mastering the logistics of planning a show, creating new works, preparing them for exhibit, installing them (perhaps with a title) and promoting their show. While 18 students were signed up to have work in this exhibit, we met only a few when we visited on the morning of March 2 and saw the beginnings of installations we planned to revisit during a March 7 reception. Just inside the front door to the left is a collection of art by senior Alexa Shikiar, including drawings, small sculptures and paintings. Her love of animals is apparent and she is thinking of a veterinary medicine career, while continuing her art as a hobby. At the far end of the baggage room, senior Alex Harimon-Agins was measuring and arranging a number of drawings and paintings, with a whimsical, cartoonish flavor. Up the steps to the platform, junior Callie Brewster was installing precisely drawn and painted works, which didn’t have titles yet. One is based on Northwest American Indian design motifs, executed in strong red, black and white. At the other end of the platform, senior Aidan Mann was fitting a large black-andwhite ink-on-paper drawing that included odd figures and unfamiliar words (code?) into the corner. It was done in several pieces, and after consultation with teacher
Sculpture by Alaxa Shikiar in the LHS student show at the Depot.
If you go Senior Alexa Shikiar stands with a collection of her artwork at the Depot Art Gallery in an exhibit of works by Littleton High advanced art students. Photos by Sonya Ellingboe and Pat Dall Jeannelle, he determined to go home and create yet another unit. He was uncertain about a title. In the back waiting room, senior Natalie Sandstrom was assembling elements of a complex installation called “Getting to Know You,” which will have projections from a pair of cameras when complete. She said she had spent 20 hours to date constructing four large wedges with rounded edges, with hundreds of small paper pieces layered on them. One was covered with yellowed old book pages with love letters and two others have rolled sheets of paper with code on them. The projectors will have love letters in binary code, she said. In addition to the five artists mentioned, Jeannelle said 13 others will exhibit their work: Annika Cobb, junior; Ana Cruz Diaz, senior; Morrigen Donaldson, senior; Madeline Hicks, senior; Dustin Hood, senior; Melissa Jimenez Gonzalez, senior; David Levin, junior; Samantha MacEvitt, junior; Tanya McCann, junior; Kendall Pruitt, ju-
nior; Job Smith, senior; Brynn Svenningsen, sophomore; and Ben Yates, senior. Many, but not all, are in the International Baccalaureate program, Jeannelle said.
The “InSight” exhibit by student artists from Littleton High School will run through March 15 at the Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave., Littleton. Hours: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. Admission is free. 303795-0781.
Corner of the Baggage rom at the Depot holds works by Junior Callie Brewster and Senior Alex HarimonAgins, plus a pair of life-sized sculptural figures.

Snow can pose mounds of trouble
South metro teams must work around the weather, often heading inside By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com March is typically the snowiest month in the Denver area. It’s also the start of the high school baseball season. Late-February snowstorms that lingered into March had south metroarea baseball teams scrambling to find indoor facilities in which to practice. Baseball is the spring sport that Mother Nature can hamper the most because it takes time to dry grass and dirt infields. Most teams jostle for practice time in school gyms or rent sessions in several indoor training facilities like Slammers, Hit Streak, Bardo’s, Extra Innings, the Sandlot and the Sports Authority Bubble. “Our biggest obstacle in Colorado is weather, especially early,” said Cherry Creek coach Marc Johnson. Creek has been forced to schedule several workouts at Slammers in Centennial. Legend has been going to Sports Authority twice a week in early March while waiting for its baseball field to become playable. “Everybody is in the same boat,” said Legend coach Scott Fellers. “We can’t get time on the field like teams in Arizona who can be out every day of the week.” Heritage coach Scott Horman has his players doing a variety of things, including shoveling.
According to the CHSAANow. com preseason poll, Cherry Creek was ranked third in Class 5A, with Legend fourth, ThunderRidge sixth and Mountain Vista 10th. In Class 4A, Valor Christian held down the third spot, with Ponderosa seventh. “We do a number of things,” he explained. “We use an awesome facility called Extra Innings in Littleton. We work on defense in our gym, we lift and do a lot of classroom work. We will be shoveling to get ready for next week.” Castle View coach Shawn Wyss admits it has been a challenge early this season to get his team prepared. “Castle View practices in our gyms at the high school, and we also go to The Sandlot,” he said. “We have two cages that we set up in our small gym and do defensive and pitching work in the big gym. “We spent hours moving snow to give us a chance to get outside. Mother Nature is in charge right now and hopefully she will be kind.” Expenses can pile up for programs and players to use indoor facilities — just one of the problems bad weather causes. Early season postponements and more storms in April could force teams into a stack of makeup games, which could affect the better south metro teams. “I don’t remember a season that didn’t finish, that didn’t get done,” Cherry Creek’s Johnson said. “But sometimes that first week or two or three can be real tough weather wise.”
Teams at a glance
Arapahoe
Heritage
Coach: Luke Muller Last season: 15-6 Players to watch: Max Whitehead, Trevor Johnson, Desmond Pineda, Clay Hanson, Jack Berning, Jacob Goodman, Will Metherd. Outlook: Warriors don’t have any returning starters back but Muller believes he has a group of players that could develop into a more talented team. Muller says: “There is no such thing as bad weather, just soft people.” - Bill Bowerman
Coach: Scott Hormann Last season: 4-15 Players to watch: Bill Moreland, Dalton Thorpe, Owen Reynolds, Tom Skufca, Keith Heimbrock, Casey Opitz, Riley Egloff Outlook: The Eagles lost eight games last season by two runs or less with two freshman and four sophomores in the lineup. The addition of freshman Egloff and Heimbrock on the mound to help Skufca, Moreland, Alex Null and Thorpe should give Heritage the depth needed to compete. Skufca, Thorpe and Egloff are expected to drive in a lot of runs this season. Hormann says: “We will compete until the last out with these guys. I can’t wait to go to battle with them.”
Cherry Creek Coach: Marc Johnson Last season: 19-4 Players to watch: Blake Goldsberry, Cody Wood, Carter VanGytenbeek, Aeneas Roberson Outlook: Creek has averaged 20.57 wins over the past seven seasons. The Bruins always manage to field a contending team, and they have won 24 league, eight state titles and been the state runners-up five times. Johnson says: “We hope to compete for the league and state and we are trying to be the best we can be.”
Littleton Coach: Micah Bernhard Last season: 2-17 Players to watch: Christian Corah, Ben Horvat, Dylan Nickless Outlook: Lions were winless in the Continental League last season but the move to the Class 4A Jefferson County League could help Littleton, which has won only 11 games over the past four seasons. Senior Corah hit .320 last season and was one of eight underclassmen that saw varsity action in 2014 season.
Friends share honor as swimmers of year Ochitwa and Moynihan each earned two state titles in their senior seasons By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Annie Ochitwa and Ella Moynihan are good friends and are the 2015 Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Swimmers of the Year. Ochitwa, a senior from ThunderRidge, won the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events for the second consecutive season at the Class 5A State Swimming Championships. Moynihan, a senior at Arapahoe, was also a double state champion as she captured the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events. She won the 200 free in 2014. “Ella and I have been friends since we were 12 or 13, and there’s no one I would rather share this honor with,” said Ochitwa. “I’m so proud of her and everything she accomplished this year. “That’s the coolest thing about Colorado swimming, everyone is friends and knows and loves each other. It’s a real cool thing to see the people racing in the final heat laughing, talking and hugging SOUTH METRO after the race.” ATHLETES Ochitwa, the 2014 CCM South MetOF THE YEAR ro Swimmer of the Year who will swim for Arizona next season, said defending her state titles was special. “Proving to myself that it wasn’t a one-time situation was an amazing feeling,” she said. “Especially this year, the competition was even more intense than last year so coming out on top was even better.” Moynihan will be swimming at Notre Dame next season and agrees with her friend. “It was pretty tricky because some of the best swimmers in the state were up north, so we didn’t see them until state,” Moynihan explained. “We’re not racing our biggest competition all season.” Moynihan switched one of events her senior year. In addition to the 200 free, she competed in 500 free instead of the 100 free. “I knew it would be a pretty big challenge to get both of them,” she said. “I don’t think it could have gone any better at the state meet. Annie and I are really good friends.”

Cherry Creek 58, Grand Junction 54 - The Bruins will return to the Great Eight of the 5A State Tournament after beating the Tigers in a slugfest on March 3. The game was close all night as the Bruins held a 25-18 halftime lead that dwindled to 31-26 at the end of the third. The Bruins have won 15 of their last 16 games as they prepare for their matchup with Highlands Ranch at the Denver Coliseum.
Boys Lacrosse
Golden 7, Littleton 6 (2OT) - The Demons and Lions matched up for a great season-opener for each club on March 7. Littleton scored the lone fourth-quarter goal to send the game into overtime before Golden was able to finish the game. Littleton’s Joe Simm scored three goals in the match and Golden’s Max Pinch scored three of his own. Matt Simonton saved 12 of 19 shots that came his way in goal for the Lions. Golden’s Tanner McAdoo recorded seven saves and AJ Greiner added two goals for the offense. ThunderRidge 8, Heritage 7 - The Grizzlies picked up a road win in their season opener on March 7.

Ice Hockey
Cherry Creek 3, Monarch 2 (3OT) - The Bruins brought home another State Championship with a thrilling triple overtime victory over the Coyotes on March 7. Chris Nitchen and Sean DeKramer scored for the Bruins to give them a two-goal lead in the third period before a power-play opportunity was converted for two Coyote goals only 17 seconds apart with less than three minutes to play in the third period. In the first two overtimes, the teams remained deadlocked thanks to Bruin netminder Brady Mielnicki recording eight saves. Extra period number was ended only 97 seconds into it as Nick Chavez converted a Blake Yount assist into a goal and handed the State Championship to Cherry Creek. Cherry Creek 3, Dakota Ridge 2 (6OT) - The longest hockey game in state history was ended by the Bruins’ Chris Nitchen with an unassisted goal at the 0:36 mark of the sixth overtime on March 5. The semifinal did not disappoint as the Bruins jumped out to a lead in the first period behind a James Shelton goal before the Eagles struck for two goals before the end of the first. The Eagle lead held until the third period when Max Tennant slotted in the tying goal off Jack Venuto’s assist. Five straight scoreless five minute overtime periods followed

A beagle named Miss P won the top prize at this year’s Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, and her victory brought smiles to the faces of everyone who owns a beagle. Snoopy is a beagle, but he doesn’t look very much like one. And Charlie Brown, with a globe for a head, doesn’t look very much like a little boy. Here’s my Top Ten. It might change tomorrow. In no particular order: Music, pictorial art, non-fiction and fiction, dachshunds, pencils, ice cream, the Internet and my iMac, coffee, Q-tips and, certainly, potatoes.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF FEB. 23, 2015
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Change is still dominant for Rams and Ewes, both in the workplace and their private lives. This is also a good time to look at a possible relocation if that has been one of your goals. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Doing things for others is what you do well. But don’t forget that Bovines thrive on the arts, so make some time for yourself to indulge your passion for music and artistic expressions. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) While the Romantic Twin considers where to go for his or her upcoming vacation, the Practical Twin will start making travel plans now to take advantage of some great bargains.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your sensitive nature helps you deal with a difficult emotional situation. Be patient and continue to show your sincere support wherever (and for whomever) it is needed. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You’re making progress as you move through some unfamiliar territory. And while there might be a misstep or two along the way, overall you’re heading in the right direction. Good luck. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Some good news arrives -- and just in time to remind you that you’re making progress. Perhaps things aren’t moving as quickly as you’d prefer, but they’re moving nevertheless. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) This is a good week to step back and assess the facts that have recently emerged to see where they can be used to your advantage. Also, don’t hesitate to make changes where necessary. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You should begin to experience some support from those who now agree with your point of view. This should help counter the remaining objections from die-hard skeptics. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Don’t let your aim be deflected by trivial matters as you try to resolve a confusing situation. Take time to find and thoroughly assess the facts before making any decision. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The possibility of moving to another location has come up. But before you dismiss it as unworkable, it’s worth checking out just in case it does have some merit after all. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) New relationships -personal or work-related -- show mixed signals. Best to assume nothing. Let things play themselves out until you have something substantive to work with. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Your ability to make needed changes without causing too much, if any, negative ripple effect comes in handy when dealing with a sensitive matter either on the job or in the family. BORN THIS WEEK: Although you like things to go smoothly, you’re not shy about making waves when you believe the situation calls for it. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
