Sheriff makes pitch for adding patrol supervisors BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR.COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Adams County Sheriff ’s Office would like to see additional commanders and a captain dedicated to overnight patrols, Sheriff Michael McIntosh told county commissioners last week. “We’ve known for quite some time that we lack in supervision when it comes to our command level within the patrol division,” McIntosh said during the commission’s Jan. 31 study session. It’s one of several changes in staffing policies recommended in a new report that McIntosh said he is prepared to put into practice.

“There are areas here where we concur and areas where we disagree,” McIntosh told commissioners. According to the report, more command-level officers on duty 24 hours each day will improve community relations and boost the department’s effectiveness. McIntosh said that could be the case overnight when most command-level staff is not on duty. “We are lacking sorely in that, so we concur that we need more commanders in the patrol division,” McIntosh said. In all, the department would add one captain, four commanders and two sergeants to the patrol division this year. Other suggestions include reorganizing the department to improve internal

communication, making sure detectives devote more time to hard-to-solve crimes and making more time for traffic safety enforcement. “We’ve all been to community meetings, and know traffic concerns are one of the biggest topics mentioned,” McIntosh said. McIntosh also agreed with suggestions calling for adding a victim services advocate and a data analyst. McIntosh disagreed with the report’s suggestion to change his department’s weekly schedule from a pattern of four 10-hour shifts to a five-day pattern. Most of Adams County’s neighboring police agencies use the same schedule of four 10-hour shifts.

Some property tax statements incorrectly labeled STAFF REPORT

A small number of Adams County property tax statements could be arriving in envelopes marked “Littleton Sewer and Storm Drainage Utility.” About 500 to 3,000 of the 180,000 statements could be affected, according to the county’s external print vendor, Seattlebased The Master Touch. The error is believed to have occurred in the vendor’s facility

when envelopes from a previous print job were accidentally left in the sorting equipment. “We understand the inconvenience and confusion this might create for some residents,” Adams County Treasurer Brigitte Grimm said. “Those affected account holders should receive another statement in the correct envelope in the coming days. If these residents believe meeting the deadline will be an issue due to this printing error I invite

them to contact me directly.” The contents of the envelopes are correct, with a property tax statement, a return label and other supporting documents. Account holders can still pay their balance using the statement from the incorrect envelope, but a second statement is being sent to ensure delivery. Anyone with questions can email Grimm at,bgrimm@ adcogov.org or call her at 720523-6166.

“This is a huge employee asset,” McIntosh said. “They get to demonstrate a healthy work-life balance and take care of things at home. If they are healthier, they are coming to work more.” The report wrapped up a six-month analysis of the sheriff ’s office’s staffing size and shift coverage performed by consultant Alexander Weiss, an Illinoisbased police resource expert. Commissioners will consider the additional personnel changes as part of their budget discussions later this year. In all, the additions would add about $1 million to the department’s annual costs. Those should be offset by $2.4 million in sheriff ’s department personnel cuts in 2016, McIntosh said.

Detox program close to having new home BY AMY THOMSON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Community Reach Center, a mental health provider in Adams County, will create a new detox program to replace the one that nonprofit Arapahoe House could no longer afford to run. Rick Doucet, chief executive officer of Community Reach, said the center is working to ensure there will be no lapse of service. Depending on how quickly a location and employees can be secured, he hopes to open the program March 1. “I’m committed to the county to get it open as soon as possible,” Doucet said. Arapahoe House, which focuses on substance abuse treatment, has provided detox services to Adams County since 1994. Officials told Adams County commissioners in a Dec. 13 study session that they are losing money on the program and can no longer sustain it. They have not said exactly when those services will end. “Our goal is to hopefully provide detox through June 30,” Arapahoe House Spokesperson Kate Osmundson said. Adams County is working with Arapahoe House to take over Arapahoe House’s Commerce City location, 7373 Birch St., Osmundson said. The building, which is now owned by Arapahoe House, originally belonged to Adams County. Adams County trans-

ferred the building to Arapahoe House to provide detox to the community. “Our goal is to reacquire the building so these services can continue, but now with a different provider,” Adams County Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio said. He expects to have further details in coming weeks. Doucet is counting on being able to use the Commerce City buidling. “It’s the best location for this community,” he said. The detox center needs to be in a central location for efficiency and convenience for Adams County law enforcement agencies, which regularly transfer people to detox as a result of DUI charges and drug overdoses, Doucet said. It takes deputies about 10 minutes to transfer someone to the Arapahoe House Commerce City detox location, Adams County Sheriff Michael McIntosh has said. Without a replacement center, officers would need to take welfare placements to the Adams County Jail, which requires a nearly three-hour check-in process, he said. O’Dorisio is optimistic that all pieces will fall into place. “We continue to make progress toward a long-term solution, while minimizing or avoiding disruption in detox services,” he said.

Lack of sun can’t stop Thornton solar installation Program in city aims to help homeowners BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On a cold day when the clouds kept her backyard covered in gloom, all Christine Chady and a team of volunteers could think about was the sun. Friday, Feb. 3, was supposed to be the day that workers from GRID Alternatives Colorado and a team of volunteers from Wells Fargo installed a money-saving solar array on the roof of her Dyanna Drive home. A different team of volunteers had finished the preparations for the install the previous Monday, Jan. 30, when the temperature was a sunny 48 degrees. Temperatures didn’t get above freezing on Friday. “If it was 48 degrees today, we’d be done by now,” said Nick Archer, 22, a GRID Alternatives construction fellow. Cold temperatures and icy conditions kept the workers shivering on the ground for most of the day Friday, not installing solar panel modules on the two-story roof until the early afternoon. Archer said the team would return to Chady’s house soon to finish connecting the panels. Once they are connected, Chady expects to trim about $240 per year off of her annual electric bill. That’s just one of the reasons she’s doing it, she said. “The main reason is the environment,” she said. “And when we heard that I could do it for low cost or no cost, that was even better.” Chady has to put in some effort and help with installing the system, but the installation isn’t costing her a penny otherwise. “It’s just cost me the hours we’ve put in,” she said. Leslie Proudfoot, a development assistant with GRID Alternatives, said Chady’s project is the ninth one the company has installed in Thornton since the beginning of 2016. It’s part of an effort between Grid Alternatives and Thornton’s Community Development Block Grant program to help bring solar power to low- and moderate-income homeowners.

“We do single-family home installs on people’s roofs and we also do community solar gardens,” she said. “They are usually ground-mounted displays that people can subscribe to and see savings.” Chady said she learned about the

program last May and applied through the city. She learned in August that she’d been selected and began working with Grid Alternatives to get her home ready. The program relies on local volunteers, Proudfoot said. Friday’s project

brought employees from several Wells Fargo branches across metro Denver to Thornton. The team the preceding Monday was made up of seven students from Mile High Youth Corps. “The Youth Corps went through a four-day training program and learned to do things at our warehouse,” Proudfoot said. “It’s a jobtraining program.” Roger Cabrera, communications consultant with Wells Fargo, said his company pays its employees to volunteer around the community. Bobby Locke, a loan administrator in Wells Fargo’s downtown office, said the project was his first choice. “It’s nice being dedicated to the community and to renewable energy,” Locke said. “I like doing something good locally that’s also good for the earth.” Proudfoot said GRID Alternatives has done similar installs around the Front Range and on Colorado’s Western Slope, as well as in California, New York, the mid-Atlantic region and in several western U.S tribal communities. They’re not finished with Thornton yet, Proudfoot hopes. “We work with communities throughout the state, but we’d love to keep working here,” she said. “There just has been a lot of interest and we really want to continue working here.” Crews from GRID Alternatives and volunteers from Wells Fargo wrestle a solar-panel module into place atop a home at 3740 Dynna Drive Friday Feb. 3. The installation was part of a company effort to bring solar energy to lower-income families.

Valentines and Doo-Wop bridge generations First-graders from Jefferson Academy Elementary joined residents of Greenridge Place, an Anthem Memory Care Center in Westminster, to make Valentine’s cards and dance to Doo-Wop tunes. The center helps seniors with dementia through a variety of programs. “Our activity program is based off seven therapies — music therapy, spiritual therapy, art therapy, aromatherapy, pet therapy, massage therapy and reminiscence therapy,” clinical director Kandice Young said. The Feb. 3 visit from the Broomfield school students was also a way to help residents. “The part of your brain that controls your rhythm doesn’t get touched by dementia, so people can keep their rhythm, “ Young said. “And that’s why you see them come alive when music comes on…and having kids here is just awesome —all of their faces light up.” Many seniors expressed joy about the children’s visit, commenting on how cute they were and showing off the cards they made for them. — Ian Warren

After 42 years, Water World general manager to retire STAFF REPORT

One of the founding staffers behind Hyland Hill’s iconic water park will step down this spring, retiring after 42 years with the district. General Manager Steve Loose will step down in March. He’ll be replaced by Mike Shelton, who has been with the Hyland District for 29 years and continues to oversee operations at the Ice Centre at the Promenade. “Steve Loose is a mentor and friend,” Shelton said. “It is a pleasure and honor to take the reins after him.”

Loose joined the district in 1973 and helped construct the park’s first two water slides in 1979. He was named general manager in 1984 and helped the park evolve from a small attraction to a nationally recognized, innovative and awardwinning water park. Water World boasts of 50 attractions covering 70 acres in Federal Heights. The attraction is considered an innovator and important player in the water park industry, winning the industry’s esteemed “Leading Edge Award” in 2016 for creativity and technology in its two newest attractions, Cowabunga

Beach and Turtle Bay. Loose has also been recognized individually. He was presented with the World Waterpark Association’s Commitment to Excellence award in 1996 and was inducted into the association’s distinguished Hall of Fame in 2016. Hyland Hills Executive Director Yvonne Fischbach applauded Loose for his dedication. “Steve’s commitment to the District, his colleagues and staff was impeccable and we wish him well in retirement,” she said. “We fully expect he will be checking in on us regularly.”

Citizens reporting more cases of child abuse and neglect STAFF REPORT

The number of calls from community members to the Colorado Child Abuse & Neglect hotline grew last year by 24 percent over 2015, an increase that hotline officials say reflects a growing understanding that everyone has a role in protecting children. Although calls overall remained about the same, the number of calls received from family, friends and neighbors, as opposed to mandatory reporters, accounted for 40 percent of all calls. The rest came from mandatory reporters, who are professionals such as educators who are required by Colorado law to report suspected child abuse and neglect. “The growth in the number of calls from non-mandatory reporters … reflects a welcomed shift in the public’s perception of our shared responsibility to help protect kids,” said Robert Werthwein, director of the Office of Children, Youth and Families for Colorado Department of Human Services. “We are pleased to see that our communities are increasingly aware that we all play a role

HOW TO REPORT The Colorado Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline - 1-844-CO-4-KIDS (1-844-264-5437) —serves Colorado’s 64 counties and two tribal nations. The hotline operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. in preventing child abuse and neglect.” A balanced ratio of calls between the public and mandatory reporters was one of the department’s goals for the hotline when it launched in January 2015. People also can report concerns of child sex trafficking to the hotline this year. House Bill 16-1224 expanded Colorado’s statutory definition of child abuse or neglect to include any case in which a child is subjected to human trafficking for sexual servitude. Victims will now have better access to services for treatment and recovery, and law enforcement will have greater latitude in responding to reports of child abuse or neglect within a family or involving third parties and as part of a criminal investigation.

Historic farm could be cultural and economic ‘neighborhood gem’ S Westminster works to restore Shoenberg Farm into an art and cultural district BY KEVIN M. SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A drive on Sheridan Boulevard in Westminster can easily turn into a trip down memory lane. Turn west onto 73rd Avenue, but stop short of the Starbucks and T-Mobile in the shopping center and just before the new Shoenberg Greens housing development. You’ll see a barn and silo reminiscent of when farmhouses and cattle dominated the then-countryside landscape that is now a popular suburb of Denver complete with a commuter rail to downtown. “The farm is a great example of Jefferson County dairy farms at the turn of the century,” said Chris Gray, economic development officer for the city of Westminster. “It’s part of the city’s heritage — a relatively famous resident started the farm.” The city purchased the Shoenberg Farm property in May 2009. Since then, the city has been working to preserve the key structures of the former Shoenberg farm and turn

The historic Shoenberg Farm house is nestled between modern shopping centers and new subdivision housing. The city of Westminster plans to renovate the building in the future in hopes a business can occupy it while preserving historical relevance. KEVIN M. SMITH them into cultural, historical and economic drivers to fit the community’s current landscape. The once 800-acre dairy farm was built in 1912 and donated to Denver’s National Jewish Hospital, according to the city’s website. Louis D. Shoenberg, a Colorado philanthropist, had the farm built for the hospital. The hospital sold the farm in 1921 to Jacob Tepper after it became to costly to operate. Tepper grew the farm into the largest egg distributor west of the Mississippi River for a short time,

according to a historical narrative from the city. Tepper’s farm was also the headquarters for Dolly Madison Ice Cream stores, which were found throughout the Denver area for 60 years until 2001. The farm ceased operations in 2000. “Obviously, this area had an agricultural heritage,” Gray said, “and this is definitely part of it.” Renovations of structures underway Herding business into the buildings hasn’t been easy. The city purchased the property

because it was part of a larger parcel on which the owners wanted to build a shopping center that involved demolishing most or all of the historic structures, which a city narrative says include a “distinctive” elliptical Quonset structure, wood and concrete silos and a bungalow residence. So when the city took possession of the two parcels, it established a vision of making it an economic and cultural “neighborhood gem,” as the city’s website says, “a place where neighbors can enjoy art, history, a farmers’ market, a small concert or film festival.” John Hall, economic development director for Westminster, said those types of activities are not outside the realm of possibility, but the city also is trying to court businesses that would draw customers. The city owns the lot on the southwest corner of 73rd Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard where the farmhouse sits and the lot across the road immediately to the west on 73rd Avenue where the silo, barn and milk-and-ice house are located. “We have been very slowly working with the state historic fund … to renovate buildings,” Hall said. The city pitched in $835,523 and received $14,489 in local grants and a little more than $1 million in state SEE SHOENBERG, P9

historic grants for renovations. The approximately 5,000-squarefoot dairy barn and concrete silo have been renovated. “It’s a large, open space,” Hall said about the barn. “It’s a space in which we’d like to have uses that draw the public in.” The city is in talks with two developers for potential use of the space, but Hall said said for now future tenants are speculative. “If you’re going to do historic preservation, you want the public to be able to access it,” Hall said. “So we would look to uses that activate pedestrian traffic. That could be anything from restaurants to retail.” The 1,100-square-foot milkand-ice house is currently being renovated and the approximately 2,000-square-foot farmhouse will be renovated next, with no specific timeline. ‘Bumpy’ road to attracting businesses The area around the property has developed throughout the years and continues to grow. Walmart is a block away, senior citizen housing is being built by Jefferson County Housing Authority to the west and, across the street from the barn, houses are sprouting up like crops in the spring in the Shoenberg Greens subdivision.

But the historic structures remain vacant. “It’s been bumpy,” Hall said about securing tenants. Gray and Hall cited the complexity of the project as the reason. Because they are historic structures being partially funded by the state historic fund, the renovations have been restrictive. “We had people come by and kick the tires,” Hall said. “But with older buildings like this that have some deterioration, it’s hard for some people to look past that and see how the building is ultimately going to be converted into a usable form.” With that interest, the city put out a request for proposal for tenants, but no one bit. “It’s about that thick,” Hall said about the requirements, holding his thumb and index finger about 2 inches apart. “And the reason it’s that thick is not because of city contracts, but because when you use state historic fund grants, what comes with them is a whole lot of strings and restrictions.” Those who are interested have business development experience and interest in preserving the history, Hall said. But he could not divulge more about the prospects because of ongoing negotiations. Still, Hall and Gray remain optimistic. “We believe that historic preservation is important to maintaining community identity and cultural identity,” Hall said, “and maintaining authenticity.”

‘Something positive has to come out of all of this’ Local group joins state ﬁght against texting and driving BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cara Denney and her friends didn’t set out to be activists, but losing friends to a distracted driver drew them into politics nonetheless. In February 2016, Brian and Jacquie Lehner, much-loved members of the motorcycle community in Douglas County and close friends of Parker resident Denney, were riding their motorcycle south on Parker Road when they were struck and killed by a driver who admitted to checking a text immediately before causing the crash. On Jan. 20, Athina Munoz was sentenced to 20 years in prison on two class-3 felony counts of vehicular homicide while driving under the influence of alcohol. But Denney and her friends were shocked to learn that she wouldn’t have faced any prison time if not for the presence of alcohol. Denney and friends in the Douglas County HOGS, a local chapter of a statewide motorcycle club, formed Coloradans Organized for Responsible Driving, an advocacy group that has grown to about 150 members

since its inception in November and expanded beyond motorcycle enthusiasts. “Something good had to come out of all this,” said Susan Dane of Aurora, a friend of the Lehners and co-chair of CORD. “I looked up the fine (for a texting and driving offense) and it was $50. “I said, ‘Is that it?’” They kept a low profile during the Munoz trial, but less than a week after the driver was sentenced in January, CORD members found themselves testifying in support of Senate Bill 17-027 at the state Capitol. They intended to watch the bill being debated on the Senate floor, but some were asked to testify. “They were thrilled to have us, because the bill was going to die,” Denney said. Democrat Lois Court, of Denver, is sponsoring the bill in the state Senate, while Jovan Melton, D-Aurora, is the House sponsor. The bill would significantly increase penalties for distracted driving. Under HB 09-1094, enacted in 2009, drivers are assessed one point on their license and a $50 fine for a first offense. An additional point and a fine of $75 is given for a second offense. The bill would ramp up the fine to $500 and five points for a first offense and a $750 fine with an additional six points for a second offense. Court said she drafted the bill in response to feedback from constituents

and law enforcement in her district. “It’s an extremely dangerous behavior … it isn’t just a nuisance,” Court said. “The bottom line is saving lives.” The bill is currently in the Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee to clarify language about any uses of cellphones that wouldn’t meet the threshold for “dangerous” activity. Court was expecting to read the bill, including any amendments added by the committee, on Feb. 8. If it were to pass the committee, she anticipates it will be debated and voted

on by the full Senate by the end of the month, at which point it would move to the House. Vivian Stovall, of Denver, who has been watching the bill’s progress at the Capitol, said some people may think the increase from $50 to $500 is steep, but it doesn’t compare to what could be lost to distracted driving. “When someone says that, I can tell they’ve never been a pedestrian,” said Stovall, who uses a wheelchair and has been hit by a car on four occasions. “Five hundred dollars. Is that the cost of a life?”

Trump picks conservative Gorsuch for Supreme Court Coloradan says role of judges is to apply work of lawmakers

What they’re saying about the nomination

BY JULIE PACE AND MARK SHERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Donald Trump has nominated Colorado’s Neil Gorsuch, a fast-rising conservative judge with a writer’s flair, to the Supreme Court, setting up a fierce fight with Democrats over a jurist who could shape America’s legal landscape for decades to come. At 49, Gorsuch is the youngest Supreme Court nominee in a quarter-century. He’s known on the Denver-based 10th Circuit Court of Appeals for clear, colloquial writing, advocacy for court review of government regulations, defense of religious freedom and skepticism toward law enforcement. Gorsuch’s nomination Jan. 31 was cheered by conservatives wary of Trump’s own fluid ideology. If confirmed by the Senate, he would fill the seat left vacant by the death last year of Antonin Scalia, long the right’s most powerful voice on the high court. Some Democrats, still smarting over Trump’s unexpected victory in the presidential election, have vowed to mount a vigorous challenge to nearly any nominee to what they view as the court’s “stolen seat.” President Barack Obama nominated U.S. Circuit Court Judge Merrick Garland for the vacancy after Scalia’s death, but Senate Republicans refused to consider the pick, saying the seat should be filled only after the November election. Gorsuch would restore the court to the conservative tilt it held with Scalia on the bench. But he is not expected to call into question high-profile rulings on abortion, gay marriage and other issues in which the court has been divided 5-4 in recent years.

VOICES Westminster is talking trash, recycling

he Westminster City Council has been talking trash for almost a year now, but it isn’t the sport’s version of talking trash. They are literally talking trash hauling, recycling and related topics. A key focus for some council members is to increase curbside recycling among single-family households. According to the below-mentioned survey, about 50 percent of survey respondents currently recycle eligible materials. In February 2016, staff outlined five models pertaining to residential community recycling for city council’s consideration. Subsequently, the council focused on contracting with a single hauler or dividing the city

into districts. Bids from trash haulers have been solicited and will be reviewed at the Feb. 13 post-city council meeting. (Remember, at post meetings or study sessions, the public may attend but not voice opinions or ask questions. You can do so during the formal council meeting under “citizen comments” for 5 minutes max.) A lot of moving parts An outside consultant conducted a detailed random survey of Westminster single-family homeowners in 2016 to gain insight on this topic. As you can imagine, there are numerous aspects and policies that can come into play

Movement toward better health is worth protecting

n the waning days of 2016, Congress passed the 21st Century Cures Act with a 392-to-26 vote in the House and a 94-to-5 vote in the Senate. While it wasn’t without controversy, it was a show of bipartisanship rarely seen in recent years. The bill allocates $1.8 billion to fund development of new cancer cures, $1 billion to bolster the fight against the current opioid epidemic, and includes provisions that should ultimately increase the availability of behavioral health services. Over the past decade, my immediate family has waged our own war against cancer, opioid addiction, and mental health crisis, so I’ve personally witnessed their terrible wrath. I commend Congress’ dedication to improving our health care services so these diseases, and many others, are ultimately less destructive to our communities. However, better health care services are only useful to people who have access to health care. Persistent and significant disparities exist across race, income, and geography in access to cancer treatment, prescription drug use, and access to mental health services. Too often, these disparities are exacerbated by a lack of health insurance. At the same time Congress was working to pass 21st Century Cures, congressional leaders were

working behind the scenes to craft a strategy for immediate repeal of the Affordable Care Act. By every analysis, repeal of the ACA without replacement would lead to millions more uninsured, Joe Sammen higher health care costs, and dramatically less access to the very health care services that 21st Century Cures seeks to improve — especially for those who need these services the most. Repeal of the ACA seems imminent, but congressional leaders should insist on a responsible replacement plan to be enacted simultaneously. Any replacement plan must include the following: Protection of coverage gains: Colorado, and the country, have seen historic gains in ensuring meaningful health coverage since the passage of the ACA. Protecting these gains in coverage, as well as the corresponding benefits of improved access for consumers and sustainability for health care providers, is a must.

commitment of time and energy and resources that’s expected of me. I’m willing to make this commitment because I genuinely care about the organization, our goals, and the people we serve. To accept such a responsibility otherwise would be foolish. Author Gregory Alford offers eight lessons for leaders, and although some of the advice is what you would expect, such as “see the big picture,” “listen” and “remove obstacles,” two of his points seemed particularly suitable for leadership in this era. “It’s not about you.” Well, sure, all leaders know that … don’t we? We’re a team. But what happens when we disagree with our boards, our committees, our advisers? Certainly this experience should be one of growth and character building for everyone. Can we, as leaders, sublimate what we think, believe, are certain is right for different paths chosen by others? As I prepare this agenda with updates from various board members,

as You Throw concept, and options for a community outreach were also covered. Key goals Key goals in the discussion when considering different scenarios involving trash hauling and recycling of materials focus on (1) reducing the wear and tear on city streets and (2) boosting the number of households that recycle. Some city councilors believe more households should be incentivized to practice recycling to reduce the waste stream that goes to landfills. Identified options to achieve these goals center on (1) fewer trash haulers driving the neighborhoods to pick up trash (2) reducing the cost of recycling to households and (3) encouraging more households to practice extensive recycling. Survey results were mixed In the June 2016 survey, 3,050 surveys were sent requesting citizen participation. The target group was from approximately 29,000 single-family dwellings. Multi-family would be excluded from any trash hauling option implemented by the city. A total of 329 responses were received with 285 providing a complete response. The completed surveys represent a 9.3 percent response of those who received a survey. Another way to interpret the survey-response level, as far as gauging Westminster citizens’ attitudes, is the results represent less than 1 percent among the total field of approximately 29,000 households. So, keep that fact in perspective when you read the following survey results. The question was “Which of the following program and operational changes for the City’s solid waste management would you support?” The results showed 59 percent

I’m reminded that I am surrounded by smart people, by people who all believe in the same end game. And if they agree on a direction I don’t, I’ll have to believe that the team has acted for the good of the organization. Besides, as Alford states, if I can’t get the best from my team, I will never reach my own potential as a leader. “It’s all about you.” Like a thunderclap, this one struck me. Of course, it’s about the leaders. All eyes are on us as we attempt to foster trust among us, around us and for us. We must model what we expect, we must walk the talk. At Writing for Peace, for example, we’re a working board and it’s all hands on deck. I didn’t agree right away when I was asked to serve. I examined within myself whether I was – or will be – worthy of this mantle. In the end, it was the belief in me by people I myself believe in that led to the leap. And I would encourage any of you considering such a leap to just take it. It will be quite a ride. Andrea Doray is a writer who believes that peace is possible. Contact her a.doray@andreadoray.com.

strongly or somewhat supported the one hauler chosen by the city that potentially lowers your monthly fee, 20 percent remained neutral or didn’t know and 21 percent were either strongly or somewhat opposed. The number of participants with their mixed responses warrants further consideration. The responses do not show a compelling desire to implement city council’s idea. You can’t say “59 percent of single family dwellers in Westminster support a single trash hauler approach.” Further thought Trash handling (which includes recyclable items) can be a sensitive and ticklish subject with people. That has clearly been observed via citizen feedback. While the idea of increasing the quantity of recyclable materials and reducing the waste stream is a worthy cause, the council needs to carefully weigh the impacts of the city dictating to residents which trash hauler/recycler they would be assigned and under what conditions/terms they would be required to follow. The assumption that lower fees would cause a significant increase in recycling participants is debatable. Before reaching a final conclusion, the city council should carefully weigh the importance of getting in the thorny thicket of free enterprise and creating a monopoly. Finally, a lot of the comments center around different haulers picking up trash on different days of the week, which result in a lot of visual clutter throughout the week. A simple solution to that issue would be for city council to mandate via ordinance only one to two specific days of the week when haulers could pick up trash/ recyclables in residential areas. Pretty simple!!! Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member. His opinions are not necessarily those of Colorado Community Media.

SAMMEN FROM PAGE 12

Protection for our most vulnerable populations: Replacement plans must acknowledge the vital role that publicly funded programs play for so many people, including children, seniors, people of color, low-income individuals, and people with disabilities. Any plan should ensure a strong health care market through stable funding and federal oversight of comprehensive, affordable coverage. Encouragement for health care transformation: Colorado has capitalized on opportunities to bring efficiencies and improvements to our health care system through collaboration in both private and public delivery systems, particularly by focusing on the integration of behavioral and physical health care. Replacement plans should continue to support transformation at the state and community levels with federal investment.

The ACA has not been perfect, but the impressive and important coverage gains it’s led to are undeniable. Without health insurance, people delay seeking health care until the need is dire, which usually results in higher costs than if the person were able to access care early. They will also be unlikely to be able to afford follow-up care or medications they need to stay healthy, including treatments for cancer, substance use, and mental illness. 21st Century Cures requires an insured populace to fulfill its promise to the American people; if the ACA is repealed without a sufficient replacement that continues to enable access to vital health care services for the most vulnerable, it will have fallen far short of its potential.

Christian bookstores oﬀer more than just the written word BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

andering around the maze of more than 75,000 books in a 2,500-square-foot bookstore on South Broadway, the section titles are diverse: End-time thrillers, books for mom, on the supernatural and Christian living, to name a few. Nonfiction sits near novels of imagination. There are dictionaries, books on prayer and guidebooks that teach how to study the Bible. Then there are the rare collector books — some that can be traced back to 400 years ago. “We have so many cool and interesting books here,” said Dalton Geske, an 18-year-old Denver college student who works part-time at the Englewood store, Christian Used Books. “And you get to see how much they’ve been loved,” he added, pointing out highlighted texts and handwritten notes in some of the nearby books. Christian bookstores are a niche market. They offer readers a different experience than online shopping — and many serve a purpose beyond the business of selling books. “This is a bookstore, but it’s also a ministry,” said Eddie Cook, owner of Christian Used Books. “It’s amazing what happens in here.” The ministry of books Denver residents Cook and his wife Bonnie have owned and operated the

bookstore for 25 years. Cook is a pastor who started a church in Englewood in 1992, but is now an itinerant evangelist — which means he preaches in various places — so that he can focus more on the bookstore. The bookstore ministers in a number of ways, Cook said. For example, he donates Bibles and religious books to organizations or individuals in need. Many of those materials will go to missions overseas such as to Ghana, Cambodia, the Philippines and Liberia. Although Cook sees new customers every day, a lot of his regulars come back for the knowledge, he said. “Christians are always working on something,” Cook said. “The folks who come in here are either growing personally or helping someone else grow.” Christian author and pastor Dave Cheadle agrees about the added value of bookstores. About 10 years ago, Cheadle started the Harvest Christian Community church in Wheat Ridge. Now, he works with the homeless through Giving Heart Englewood. Cheadle has been writing since at least the mid-1970s, he said, and has more than 150 articles and six books published. He is working on the third novel of a Christian fiction trilogy that he describes as an “apocalyptic end-of-the-world type of story.” In the story, Christians are called upon to minister to the suffering world, Cheadle said, and the main character preaches about grace and truth. “That is the theme of my life — it’s a theme I feel strongly about and it comes through in the books,” Cheadle

and

Beyond

said. “I love getting caught up in the story as I write it.” Richard Weigang of Centennial holds a master’s degree in biblical theology and as a store owner, it’s all about taking an interest in the customer and helping he or she buy what they want and need, he said. Weigang and his wife Lorena have owned and operated The Catholic Store, 3372 S. Broadway in Englewood, for 25 years. “We serve primarily Catholics, but people of all faiths come in,” Weigang said. “Some people want to browse and others have their mind made up on what they want.” The store specializes in Bibles, books and gifts such as prayer cards, rosaries, jewelry, saint statues and crosses. The book selection is mostly nonfiction, Weigang said, but the store carries a wide variety of subjects and authors — including children’s books — and there is a lot of literature in Spanish. “The saint books sell the best,” Weigang said. “I think people can relate to saints. They give us an example on how to live.” Reading rooms open to all Christian Science Reading Rooms also can serve a number of purposes as a bookstore and lending library, said Don Morris, librarian at the First Church of Christ Scientists of Arvada. Reading rooms are open to the public, Morris said, so people who are familiar with Christian Science come for prayer or study. But others come in because they are curious. Everybody is welcome to visit the

reading room, Morris said, but it must be noted that all materials available at any Christian Science reading room support the Christian Science movement and must be from the Christian Science Publishing Society. “We don’t offer books from just anybody,” he said, adding reading rooms can be thought of as a “one-stop-shop” for all things on Christian Science. Many of the materials in the reading room are for sale, some can be borrowed and others are for on-site use only. “The reading room is not just about selling products,” Morris said. “It’s about being a place where people can come for a spiritual atmosphere — a good, quiet place to get away.” Independent brick-and-mortar Christian bookstores are at somewhat of a decline, Cook of Christian Used Books said. His best guess is that about 70 percent across the U.S. have closed within the past 15 years as a result of big-box retailers offering cheaper prices and the ease of online shopping. However, “books will always be the way we learn and communicate,” Cook said. “And there’s still a need for people to be able to walk into a store and buy a book.” And, then, there’s the community aspect. “Sometimes, I wander into a Christian bookstore just to connect with the wall of books that prove I’m not alone in my faith and struggles,” Cheadle said. “Standing in front of a shelf filled with works by often brilliant scholars and writers who’ve explored my very issues and have found hope — just touching the spines of these great works, pulling a few from the shelf — can be enough to lift my spirits.”

The glowing exhibit includes examples of work from the long, rewarding careers of two artists who early on realized the many possibilities of plexiglass, combined with light and color. Large windows at the far end are also blocked with blown up show photos by Heather Longway, which add to the glow. “Lumonics Then & Now” runs through March 24. Walls on either side are filled with a combination of luminous flat wall pieces, mostly Mel’s, and equally bril-

sical, followed by the upbeat …” The successful Florida operation brought in outside acts as the light/sound environment developed. Mel Tanner died in 1993. The Lumonics Light and Sound Gallery, at 800 E. 73rd Ave. in Adams County, now eight years old, carries on that tradition, with new sculptures. In Florida, the Tanners worked with psychiatrists in this “healing shelter,” as Dorothy called it, and were able to help people with PTSD issues. “It kept us going,” she said. “Our friends in the ‘60s were 20 years younger and there were other ways of being, living…” She speaks of fresh music and a 30-foot-high wall for projected images. The Tanners created shapes that incorporated light and used classical music as well as contemporary. “Young people tuned in.” People of all ages will tune in to this blend of color, light and music at the Museum Outdoor Arts. Allow time to relax in the Sound Gallery at the far back edge, where images and music surround a visitor who can sit and soak it all in.

Light sculptures by Dorothy Tanner glow on the wall of the Museum Outdoor Arts’ Indoor Gallery in Englewood, in “Then and Now: A Retrospective exhibit of Light-Based Sculpture by Dorothy and Mel Tanner.” HEATHER A. LONGWAY liant three dimensional works, mainly by Dorothy. In the White Gallery, a projection, art pieces and music are background for an audio of Dorothy Tanner’s voice, talking about their life and art. (She now lives in the Denver area and at 94 is still creating, with support by longtime co-worker Marc Billard, who has the know-how to carry out her ideas, although she is hindered by macular degeneration, according to Tim Vacca of MOA.) The Tanners met at the Brooklyn Art Museum when young and opened the co-op Granite Gallery on 57th Street in New York in 1963. There, they

started doing light art, launching long, active careers. They traveled to Europe, then San Francisco, where Mel had an experience, involving a flash of light off an airplane, that changed their direction. “Lumonics came to be necessary for us to be doing — to raise consciousness. Mel and I had changed,” Dorothy said. In 1969, the Tanners established a studio in Miami, which involved a pair of warehouse spaces. “There was a black room,” she said in the audio, “where we would bring up sound and lights on the first piece, and the second piece was meditational, clas-

Big cookie goals

Girl Scouts across state to sell cookies through March 12

COLORADO GIRL SCOUTS HISTORY 1912 — Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scouts troop in Savannah, Georgia. 1917 — The first Girl Scout troop in Colorado was formed, just outside of Colorado Springs. 1925 — Girl Scouts of the USA was the first to publish a s’mores recipe, although the popular treat was not invented by the Girl Scouts. 1927 — The recipe, called somemores by this time, was printed again in an official Girl Scouts publication. 2017 — Girl Scouts of Colorado celebrates its centennial with the new S’mores cookie.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One Girl Scout troop in Highlands Ranch hopes to earn enough cookie money so the five girls can do an overnight at the Great Wolf Lodge — a new indoor water park and hotel in Colorado Springs. A Northglenn Girl Scout troop will continue saving the money for a couple of years to pay for an undetermined future adventure. In Golden, one Girl Scout also plans on saving the money she earns so she will have extra money to fund her Gold Award project, which she will begin within a couple of years. A Girl Scout in Centennial, and another in Lakewood, hopes to earn enough for summer camp. One thing they all have in common, though, is that each Girl Scout is looking forward — and hoping — to sell a lot of cookies. “I like meeting all the people,” said Katie Hurley, 12, a Northglenn seventhgrader who is homeschooled. “I know I’ve made a lot of friends through cookie sales, so that’s a lot of fun.” For the 100th year, Girl Scouts across Colorado will be out-and-about in neighborhoods from Jan. 29 through March 12 selling the infamous cookies. And to celebrate the centennial of cookie selling, a new cookie will be available — the S’mores cookie, a graham sandwich cookie complete with creamy chocolate and marshmallowlike filling. “I think people are really going to like them,” Hurley said, adding she always hoped there would be a S’mores cookie someday. In fact, Hurley and the six other girls in her troop even joked about inventing a S’mores cookie last year, when troop leaders were having a hard time getting a fire going to roast the marshmallows during a three-day camping trip at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. The trip last July was paid for with money the girls earned from cookie sales. Katelyn Miller, 13, a Girl Scout who

Katie Hurley, 12, of Northglenn poses for a picture after receiving a medal for selling more than 1,500 boxes of cookies during the 2015-16 cookie season. COURTESY PHOTO attends the eighth grade at Liberty Middle School in Centennial, has been riding horses since she was 4 years old. So the money she earns through cookie sales usually goes toward paying for a summer camp that has ties to horses and ranch work. “I’m really interested in that type of stuff,” Miller said. But being in Girl Scouts since she was in the first grade has helped her gain leadership qualities and self-confidence, she said. “And there’s the excitement of doing new things,” she added, “but having to go out and find those opportunities rather than waiting for them to come to me.” Katie DeMink, 13, an eighth grader at Bell Middle School in Golden, went to Los Angeles for the first time in June last year. All four girls in DeMink’s troop got to go because the trip was funded through cookie sales proceeds. They saw the Hollywood Sign and Walk of Fame, visited the Griffith Observatory and wandered the beach at the Santa Monica Pier. “It was so much fun exploring and getting to do what each of us wanted to do,” DeMink said. “We got to be pretty independent on that trip.” Cassidy Christian’s troop from Highlands Ranch also went to California last summer through cookie sales proceeds. But these five girls went north to San Francisco. Along with visiting Pier 39, Chinatown and Alcatraz, the girls crossed the Golden Gate Bridge to symbolically recognize

their bridging from Cadettes to Senior Girl Scouts — the second to last level in Girl Scouts. Christian, 15, a ninth grader at Mountain Vista High School, enjoys selling cookies because she likes to interact with different people, she said. She especially likes going door-to-door. “Whenever it snowed, it held me back from going out to sell, but I was determined to meet my goal so I eventually got there,” Christian said. “I was really excited and happy that I met my goal after spending so many

COOKIE 101 WHAT: This year’s cookie selection includes S’mores, vegan Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils, Dos-Si-Dos, Savannah Smiles and gluten-free Toffee-Tastic. WHEN: Girl Scouts across Colorado will be selling cookies from Jan. 29 through March 12. COST: This year, cookies cost $4 per box for all varieties except S’mores and ToffeeTastic, which are $5 per box. There are three ways to buy cookies: Purchase cookies from your home, as Girl Scouts will be out-and-about doing the

traditional door-to-door sales. Girl Scouts will have booths at local businesses across Colorado. Find a nearby booth by visiting the Cookie Locator online: www.girlscoutsofcolorado.org/en/cookies/ find-cookies.html. The Digital Cookie allows Girl Scouts to sell their cookies online. However, this method is only offered for friends and family of the individual girls, so to purchase cookies this way, one must receive an invite from a Girl Scout.

hard and cold days out selling.” Her goal this year is to sell 300 packages of cookies. Last year’s top cookie seller in Colorado was 13-year-old Ciara Leal of Lakewood. The eighth grader sold 7,118 boxes. “My goal was 5,000, but when I kept selling, I knew I should keep reaching for the top,” Leal said. Booth sales are her favorite method to sell because she loves to see her customers face-to-face, she said. “I enjoy seeing the customer’s face every time I sell them cookies because they always have a smile on their face,” Leal said. “It makes me feel good knowing I made someone’s day.”

Mountain Range diver captures Front Range League title Horizon, Mountain Range, Legacy compete in weekend of swimming, diving league championships BY SCOTT STOCKER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

There is probably nothing quite better than beating a personal record in any swimming event, conference or otherwise, other than going on to win a state championship. That could well be the case for Taylor Jackson of Mountain Range, who won the league title in diving at the Front Range League diving and swimming championships held Feb. 3-4 at Veterans Aquatic Memorial Center in Thornton. She tallied 486 points to outdistance runner-up Georgia Brookstein of Legacy, who scored 459.7 points. “I was disappointed in only one of my dives through the first round,” said Jackson. “But I’m certainly happy with my overall performance. My goal was to beat my own personal record and I did it...I felt confident when I came in and now it’s on to state. I hope to get in the top three, so… Go Mustangs.” “It was a good day and all the girls have been supportive of each other,” said Brookstein. “We were able to go out and do our best.” In the swimming championships, Mountain Range, coached by Jeff Johnson, placed eighth among the 13 teams. “We look good with Taylor in diving and we hope she can win it at state,” said Johnson. “She had a Number 10 dive at Fossil Ridge this season and she has just come out and done well. We have 15 freshmen this year and their energy was certainly high. The future looks good.” Fossil Ridge, out of Fort Collins, won the league title with 938 points, breaking six league records. In the process, the Sabercats won eight of the 12 events. Legacy finished second in the team race with 604 points while Monarch was third with 458. Joining Jackson as the only swimmers other than those from Fossil Ridge to win an individual event were Erin Lang of Loveland in the 200 freestyle (1:54.92), Emily Barrier of Rocky Mountain in the 200 individual medley (2:06.10) and Josie Carpenter of Greeley West in the 500 freestyle (5:10.61).

Taylor Jackson, of Mountain Range High School, won the diving championships on Feb. 4. She believes a balance between fun and seriousness is important to diving. “Consistency is key,” she said. Jackson, a senior, will be starting college at Seton Hall University next year. Diving prelims started early in the morning with finals in the afternoon on the same day. IAN WARREN

Athlete signs up for something big

ational Signing Day was Feb. 1, when high school athletes autographed letters of intent with colleges to play at the next level. Some athletes signed in the fall, but most football and soccer players made official commitments Feb. 1. There is another signing date on April 12. OVERTIME Castle View lineman Nathan Laufenberg didn’t sign a letter of intent. Instead, he signed a certificate of intent, since he plans to attend and play football at the Air Force Academy. Jim Benton The certificate of intent is a nonbinding agreement that signifies an athlete’s commitment to follow through with the cadet appointment process and allows them to participate in signing day for publicity purposes. The certificate is signed by athletes who are recruited and plan to attend Air Force, Navy or Army. Laufenberg’s uncles and grandfather were in the Air Force and he is already working out to be in top shape for the grueling six weeks of Basic Cadet Training this summer. That includes training in the rural Jacks Valley center on the academy grounds in Colorado Springs. “I’m getting in shape now,” Laufenberg said. “I felt like the Air Force Academy was a good opportunity — it is close to home and everything seemed to fit.” Full court press for mercy rule The ball is now in the court of the Colorado High School Activities Association’s Legislative Council on whether a mercy rule for boys and girls basketball will be adopted. We’ll find out in April if the legislative council approves the mercy rule that was tweaked and unanimously agreed on by the basketball committee. It was passed to the legislative council for endorsement. The legislative council has 72 members made up of league representatives, Colorado Association of School Executive reps, Colorado Association of School Board reps and representatives of the Colorado Athletic Directors Association. If the proposal is approved for the 2017-18 season, a running clock will start when there is a 35-point or more differential in scores entering the fourth quarter. The clock would be stopped for injuries, timeouts and free throws — a concession to coaches who didn’t want to give up playing time for little-used reserves and younger players. SEE BENTON, P27

Standley Lake outscores Chatfield in league game BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Competition on the ice heated up at the opening faceoff and continued throughout the game as evenlymatched Standley Lake and Chatfield squared off Feb. 3 in league hockey action at Promenade Arena. The Gators scored the first goal near the end of the initial period and went on to win, 5-2. “We are a very young team this season with only four seniors on the roster,” Coach Dave Goberis said. “Our players practice hard and play hard, but we have had problems this season finding the back of the net. Last year’s seniors were our goal scorers. They graduated and the kids are learning this season how to take the shots and make the followups necessary to score goals.” His team is comprised of 26 players from eight or nine schools. Goberis also said there is no direct feeder program preparing young players to join the high school hockey team. “There are programs here at Hyland Hills, but many of those kids stay with the program and play on the year-round teams,” he said. “About three-quarters of our players are athletes who play hockey all year.” Key moments Both teams employed fast-paced styles rushing the puck up the ice, seeking openings at the net. There were a number of shots by both teams during the back-and-forth play through most of the first period. The scoreless tie was broken with 1:25 left in the period when the Gators mounted a rush at the net that ended when Brett McClure scored the goal with assists from Adam Powell and Chris Elnicki. Standley Lake made the score 2-0 early in the second period on the unassisted goal by Braden Overholt. The Gators also had a shot in the net waved off late in the period because the net was off the pegs. Chatfield narrowed the score to 2-1 with a power-play goal near the end of the period. The Gators scored a pair of quick goals and added one more in the

Key players/statistics McClure had two goals and an assist and teammate Powell had a goal and three assists. Overholt and Martin Rowan each scored a goal while Elnicki had two assists and Overholt and goalie Kyle Cunningham each had an assist. Chatfield took 36 shots on goal and Cunningham made 34 saves.

“He is strong in the net,” he said. “The guys in front of the net work hard, but we count heavily on Kyle to do everything but stand on his head to keep the puck out of the net.” Cunningham smiled after the game and said he has been a goalie almost since he started playing hockey. “I was playing roller hockey when I was seven or eight, our goalie didn’t show up, I volunteered to fill in and I felt it was the position for me and that is where I have been ever since,” the Standley Lake senior said. “I like being in the net. I think it is the most important position on the team because a good goalie can win games for you.” He said he is a better goalie this year primarily because he is more confident in his abilities in the net.

“I am now more confident I can stop any shot that comes at me,” he said. “Breakaways and shots coming from behind a screen are always challenges. Also, I find the low shots tougher to handle because it is hard to get down on the ice to make the stop.” He said he plans to continue his hockey career in the fall when he attends Colorado State University where he will play for the Rams. Going forward The win over Chatfield improved the Standley Lake overall record to 2-11 and the record in the Pinnacle League to 2-8. The Gators close out the regular season with a home game against Air Academy on Feb. 17 and a road game rematch against Chatfield on Feb. 18.

Wolverines hold onto lead to win over Westminster Westminster: ‘We just need to concentrate on our oﬀense and defense’ BY SCOTT STOCKER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Skyview’s Monique Esquibel opened up early in her efforts on the basketball court in the Wolverines Jan. 30 non-league, 61-48, victory over visiting Westminster. The only lead held by Westminster was, 2-0, with 7 minutes left in the first quarter on a basket by Marissa Dulys. Those were the only points she would score in the game. Skyview scored the next 14 points and finish the first quarter with an 18-8 lead. Of those 14 points, Esquibel scored 10. And it was her three-point play with 6:32 left in the quarter that gave the Wolverines a 3-2 lead and one they would never relinquish. Sophomore Sophia Trujillo scored the next four points, finishing the game with six points. Skyview, coached by Christopher Kemm, improved to 13-3. After a Feb. 1 win over Arvada, 32-20, and Feb. 3 victory over Alameda, 31-11, Skyview was 15-3 overall and 4-1 in the 4A/3A Colorado 7 League. Westminster is now 8-12 overall. “Overall, we played great as a team playing

together on our offense and defense,” said Esquibel, one of 10 seniors on the squad and the team’s co-captain. “We just wanted to stay concentrated. We were up and down with some fine efforts and it was a good win.” Skyview’s Kristina Kemm, also a senior and cocaptain with Esquibel, scored five points, but she was a defensive standout from the beginning. “The key was to stay tough on our concentration,” said Kemm, also the daughter of coach Kemm. “We just wanted to go smooth and not to get crazy. I felt like we executed well and played as a team.” Skyview controlled the game, leading 28-19 at the half and 40-25 going into the fourth quarter. Both teams opened up their offensive outputs in the fourth quarter as Westminster scored 23 points and Skyview, 21. Indeed, it was a good night for coach Kemm. “We were low off the start, but I think we were able to get after them after the first quarter,” said Kemm. “Our girls worked together. We have had a few bad nights and we certainly have played better than this. But it was victory and that’s always the goal.” Mariah Boltz was the leading scorer for Westminster, coming through with 20 points. She was joined in double figures by teammate Amber Montoya, who tallied 12. “I’m disappointed,” said Boltz. “We just need to concentrate on our offense and defense. Defense is what killed us tonight.”

HOLY FAMILY STREAK CONTINUES

Holy Family’s Tanner Baird is tied up by Frederick’s Jose Campos during the second quarter of the Jan. 31 game in Frederick. The visiting Tigers beat the Warriors, 68-45, to remain unbeaten in Tri Valley League play. Holy Family is ranked second in 4A behind D’Evelyn, according to CHSAA. With the Jan. 31 win against Frederick, the Tigers were 9-0 in Tri Valley League play with an overall record of 14-4. STEFAN BRODSKY

Legacy, coached by Diana Wiles, knew it was going to be a tough go from the start. Still, she was pleased with the way her girls performed. “It was a fabulous meet and the girls came in to have fun and we came out strong,” said Wiles. “The competition is really tremendous in our league. I’m happy as we had at least two finalists in every event and some with as many as four. Last year we were fourth, so this is the best that we have ever done here.” Legacy’s Shannon Feran had a good meet, finishing second in the 50-freestyle, with a time of :24.70. She also finished third in the 100 butterfly. “I just really wanted to do well for our team — and we have done well,” Feran said. Horizon’s Megan Dudden finished fourth in the 100 breastroke with a time of 1:08.81. Fossil Ridge finished one-two-three in this event. The winner was Zoe Bartel with a time of 1:02.13. “I went out as fast as I could and hoped to bring it home,” said Dudden. “It’s as fast as I’ve been and I’m happy with this race.” Overall, it was a tough weekend for Horizon coach Stacey Robertson. “But it will enable us to start to

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

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

When government takes action, it uses local newspapers to notify you. Reading your public notices is the best way to find out what is happening in your community and how it affects you. If you don’t read public notices, you never know what you might miss.

Tonsing leaves light rail as major part of legacy BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Robert “Bob” Tonsing served for a decade on Littleton City Council and was named “Father of Light Rail” by the Regional Transportation District when he retired from its board in 2004. Friends and colleagues will gather Feb. 10 at Fort Logan National Cemetery to bid farewell to Tonsing, who died in Littleton on Jan. 24 at age 86. Born Jan. 8, 1931 in Wichita, Kansas, Tonsing thought of himself as a journalist to the end, and was a working reporter until 1960. That’s when a growing family required a fatter paycheck, and he became director of public relations for Martin Marietta, according to his son, Robert, who said Tonsing was a fourth-generation journalist. Tonsing’s father was editor of the Wichita Eagle and his grandfather, newspaperman John A. Martin, was governor of Kansas. Tonsing wore a number of hats, often simultaneously, after graduating from Wichita State University. While in the Army, he was a staff member of Pacific Stars and Stripes newspaper, based in Okinawa. Following discharge, he went to work as an investigative reporter for the Denver Post and uncovered corruption in the Denver Police Department, as well as Mafia activities in the metro area. He was executive director of the Colorado Republican Party; a Littleton

city councilman (1983-1993): chairman of the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG); director of the Metropolitan Denver Water Authority; member, and for a time, chairman of the Regional Transportation District Board of Directors (1992-2004). A plaque he received from the RTD board said: “Bob Tonsing has been the key political strategist for building a light rail system in the Denver Metro Region. After all is said and done, Bob Tonsing is the person most responsible for the region’s fixed guideway transportation system.” The heading on it called the District H director “Father of Light Rail in the Denver Metro Region.” Son Robert has happy memories of family dinner visits to the “cherished” Denver Press Club, where a reception will be held following the Fort Logan ceremony. All attending are invited. He is survived by sons Robert (Ann Imse, Robert’s wife), of Morrison; Martin, of Denver; and Anthony, of Aurora. Several Littleton colleagues recalled working with Tonsing. During an interview with Colorado Community Media, former Littleton Community Development Director Charlie Blosten and former City Manager Jim Woods were together, reminiscing about Tonsing, and they agreed that “Bob knew light rail better than anybody.” Without his and the city council’s long and bitter fight against some RTD

board members and people who opposed public transportation, light rail would never have been built, Blosten said. He spoke of numerous trips to Washington by Tonsing, Littleton Mayor Dennis Reynolds and others to lobby Colorado Congressman Dan Schaefer — in addition to years of state maneuvering. “He was also a good councilmember,” Blosten recalls, “and worked well with staff.” Littleton’s director of communications, Kelli Narde, agreed about Tonsing’s role in bringing light rail to Littleton: “I don’t believe we’d have the Southwest Corridor light rail, if it weren’t for him.” She added that she and Tonsing became friends, and he also worked on city public relations matters through his Public Information Corp. His company conducted polls of Littleton citizens on various topics, such as why they voted against a tax for building a new police station in 2005. Blosten and Woods talked about the city’s involvement in light rail, working on complexities of right of way along the railroad tracks, moving tracks at times — when they were uncertain what the future technology would be — with Tonsing in the picture. Former state highway department employee Harvey Atchison of Littleton was involved in the project “from the beginning,” he said, including

Bob Tonsing, who died in January at 86, poses with a light rail train that he helped bring to Littleton as a city councilmember and an RTD director. The Littleton stations opened on July 14, 2000. COURTESY PHOTO environmental studies. He remembers the state Legislature as the biggest obstacle: “They fought tooth and nail because the highways needed the funds.” Probably many stories about Tonsing will surface as people gather to remember a man prominent in recent local and regional history. The Fort Logan National Cemetery service is at 10:15 a.m. Feb. 10 — open to all (guides at the entrance, which is on Sheridan Boulevard two blocks south of Hampden Avenue/U.S. 285, will assist with directions to the site). And all attending are invited to a reception at the Denver Press Club afterward, 1330 Glenarm Place, Denver.
