MY NAME IS

EDWIN ORTIZ OF THORNTON

From the beach to the mountains About me I usually wake up early in the morning about 6:45, and then I go to the office. I’m a contractor for Xcel Energy. We are working with them with the FAN (Field Area Network) Project. They are trying to create a smart grid here in Denver. I work for a company called Council Rock. The headquarters of the company are located in Rochester, New York. I was living there before coming here last week. I’m an assistant engineer; and I work with drawings, prototypes, sketches, any kind of engineering drawing, I’m involved in that. Before I moved, I was traveling from New York to here for about three months. Rochester is a small city, and then you come here to Denver and it’s like “Wow, huge city!” For me, this city is endless. Every place that I go there are a lot of neighborhoods. The city is growing in all directions. I like it. It’s different for me. If i could have lunch with anyone... I say my parents. We are very close. We get along very well; it’s awesome. I’m born and raised in

the Dominican Republic. Most of my family is still there. My family and I FaceTime every other day. There is a scholarship program in the Dominican Republic, and I applied. The Dominican government and the university in which I was accepted pay for everything: housing, books, tuition, food, etc. I was able to get into the Rochester Institute of Technology in order to get my masters in manufacturing and automation. That’s how I got to the United States. First winter in the States It was very interesting. The Dominican Republic is beaches and summer weather. I knew that I had to face the cold weather, but I didn’t have any idea of how cold it gets. I wasn’t prepared at the beginning; I just had like a few sweaters, and I was like that must be enough. I couldn’t be more wrong! After the temperature started getting low, maybe 40s, I started having a hard time. One of my cousins told me I needed this coat, a size bigger than I usually need, “‘cause you’re going to need a sweater, a few layers.” And I was like, “Dude, for real?” Then when the temperature got to zero minus something, I was like, “This guy was right!” — Megan Crumley, Special to Colorado Community Media Have a suggestion for My Name Is?

CORRECTION In the Jan. 26 issue, a brief about the Westminster Parks, Recreation and Libraries department should have said Westminster had been recognized nationally for its parks and recreation services and is one of only a few departments in the nation to be awarded the gold medal three times. The newspaper regrets the error.

A story in the Jan. 26 issue incorrectly stated the vote tally the Westminster City Council took approving a Welcoming Committee resolution.

Westminster schools appeal state education rating

Westminster and firefighters’ union working well BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Leadership of Westminster’s newly-recognized labor union said they are working well with the city and eager to do more. “The city has been approaching this with full transparency and they have been very upfront about every step and they’ve involved us all along the way,” said Ron Taylor, president of Westminster Professional Firefighters 2889. “So, it’s been a great collaboration.” Taylor said the goal now is to get an ordinance through the City Council allowing the city to negotiate with the union. “We don’t have a contract yet, and we haven’t even been able to discuss when that will happen,” Taylor said. “This ordinance is the first step. This is all new for the city, just like it’s new for us.” City councilors heard a report on the process at their Feb. 13 meeting, City Manager Don Tripp said in an emailed statement. “We’ve begun the process to draft an ordinance enabling collective bargaining between the city and Westminster firefighters,” Tripp wrote. “We’ve recently shared with City Council a time-

line with key milestones that will allow us to meet the July 1, 2017, deadline approved in the ballot measure.” Taylor said it’s just part of the process. “We’re trying to get word back from (the council) quickly so if they don’t like a part of this we can get changes made,” Taylor said. Voters approved Measure 2A at the polls last fall 30,675 votes to 22,716. It allows the firefighters to bargain collectively with the city on matters regarding wages, benefits, personal safety and disputes. “Due to what the voters passed, there needs to be an ordinance in place by July 1 for us to bargain collectively with the city,” Taylor said. “We have had one meeting with the city manager and the (fire) chief and it seems to be going along pretty well.” Taylor said safety concerns were paramount among union members. “We want to make sure we have a voice at the table,” Taylor said. “We know that our priorities and the chief ’s priorities may not always align, so we want to be sure our point of view gets considered. We truly just want to be able to have an adult conversation.”

BY STAFF REPORT

Westminster Public Schools have made enough improvement to escape state sanctions, officials argue in a Feb. 7 filing. School officials filed a statement Feb. 7 to the Colorado State Board of Education arguing that the state should give the district a higher “Improvement” rating that recognizes how much progress the district has made. “I think anyone who reads the position statement will agree that we have made tremendous progress and our students are better because of it,” said Superintendent Pam Swanson. “We have always believed in accountability and if you look at the report objectively you will see the (district’s current rating) does not reflect our success or acknowledge the challenges we have overcome.” Filing the statement is the first step the district must take to appeal the department of education’s current rating of Westminster schools. Westminster Public Schools is one of five districts in Colorado that could face state sanctions after receiving five annual low performance ratings from the Colorado Department of Education. In December, the department of education ruled that Westminster schools had improved over the past several years but not enough to give them a better rating.

According to the state, Westminster Schools did improve overall between 2010 and 2014. Several schools declined in 2016, however. Westminster school officials disagreed in the Feb. 7 statement, noting that the 13 schools put on a five-year deadline to improve have improved and met that deadline. School officials also noted that the city’s student population is largely low income and that almost one in every two students is classified as an English Language Learner. Officials said the district is converting to a different grading system based on student competency and said that system is showing improvement. Finally, district officials argued that the state system has been inconsistent and discriminatory and that the state’s testing data is unreliable. “The District deserves a real opportunity to implement this model under consistent expectations and in harmony with current state standards and assessments,” the statement reads. “Its performance ought to be judged on its own merits and considering its unique challenges, by all statutory criteria, and not just on unreliable data or in relation to other districts that lack comparable numbers of minority, poor, mobile, and non-native English speaking students.”

Chaotic trends ahead for national, local economies Metro North Chamber breakfast speakers talk about portents and signs for next few years BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With all the uncertainty looming in the national, state and local economies, Colorado State University Economist Dr. Phyllis Resnick said it helps to look at the quitters. The high number of people who feel safe enough in their prospects to quit their paying jobs now says a lot about President Donald Trump’s chances at improving the national economy — and just as much about how Colorado will fare during the next few years, Resnick told a crowd at a North Metro Chamber of Commerce breakfast Feb. 10 at the Denver Marriott Westminster. “Economists really like to look at the ‘Quit Rate’ in the economy to really understand what’s happening with the labor market,” Resnick said. “The theory is that people don’t quit their jobs when there is no opportunity to move into other jobs.” Resnick was one of a trio of speakers that offered chamber members an idea of economic signs and portents for the coming decade. The national quit rate fell during the recession in the early 2000s but has recovered lately, meaning the national economy is near full employment — jobs may be plentiful, but workers are not. That means that efforts to further stimulate the economy could lead to short-term improvement, but longterm problems. “You may not do much but create growth that results in inflation and other negative economic impacts,” Resnick said. Resnick was joined by Elizabeth Garner, state demographer with the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, and Barry Gore, president and CEO of Adams County Economic Development, at the chamber presentation, billed as the first annual Economic

Changes in diversity and age demographics will shape Colorado’s economy for the next decade, according to Elizabeth Garner, state demographer at Colorado Department of Local Affairs. Garner urged business leaders at the Metro North Chamber of Commerce breakfast Feb. 10 to help younger workers thrive. PHOTOS BY SCOTT TAYLOR Forecast Breakfast. Resnick said she and other economists predict a short economic boost in 2017 and 2018 — the “Trump Bump” — followed by a slowing economy. “None of the national forecasts right now have a recession in them,” Resnick said, “but economists put the probability of a recession in the next two to three years at a higher level than they were prior to the (November) election.” Real estate, population rising Resnick said economists predict the same pattern in Colorado — a bump through 2018, followed by slower growth and inflation. “We are not talking about runaway inflation by any means, but we’re talking about 2 percent to 3 percent again,” she said. State inflation will continue to drive up real estate prices, she said, and that will be complicated by demographic pressure. “If you look at the population projections for the Denver Metro region, it translates into the need for about 59 additional housing units per day to house the people we are projecting to move into the region through 2035,” she said. State Demographer Garner said that number is actually closer to 80 new

housing units needed per day across Colorado. That translates to between 30,000 and 40,000 new households formed per year, she said. The state’s population will become older as Colorado’s Baby Boomers age and will be more diverse overall, especially at the lower working ages. She encouraged local employers to do their best to help Millennial workers thrive for the region’s long-term benefit. Millennials are typically those younger than 35 years old and they have largely been under-employed for most their working life, she said. “People give the poor Millennials such a hard time, but do your best to help them out,” Garner said. “Because once they are in and can buy a home, they can buy a second home. We need them to start accumulating assets. We need them to be spenders in our economy.” White-knuckle ride Adams County Economic Development’s Gore compared the local economy to a roller coaster for the next several years. “You can decide whether you are at the top and headed down or whether you have enjoyed the ride up,” Gore said. “But I will tell you that, for our North Metro region, you either need to hold on tight and white-knuckle it

Barry Gore, president and CEO of Adams County Economic Development, outlines development projects likely to have a big impact on northern metropolitan businesses during the next 10 years at a Feb. 10 chamber breakfast at the Denver Marriott Westminster. or you can put your hands up in the air and enjoy the thrill of what we are about to go through.” Gore listed projects around Denver that will have a big impact on the northern metropolitan area — from retail developments around Arvada to unique housing developments along the Clear Creek valley and from the Westminster Station and Downtown Westminster developments to new resort hotels and freight warehouses along Interstate 70 to Denver International Airport. “Those jobs don’t pay the higher wages we’d like to see,” Gore said. “They typically pay a little below the county’s average. And when we look at the cost of housing, the cost of educating and the taxes they pay and the wages they make, it becomes a very interesting formula — and it is going to challenge us.” It becomes an issue when you have lower wage jobs but expensive housing that demands higher wages. “The world as we know it in the Metro North region will not be the same,” he said. “It’s exciting, and as an economic developer there is no better time. But it’s going to challenge our elected officials and business leaders to understand how do we deal with this together.”

Thornton officer plays tag with graffiti vandals GRAFFITI INCIDENTS IN 2016

KEVIN M. SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORDO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Most days of the year, Randall Janda is painting something. It’s a job he enjoys, but wishes didn’t exist. Janda, the city of Thornton’s graffiti removal officer, starts most work days checking messages from residents and business owners and driving a route that takes him past commonly tagged sites. “It’s like fishing,” Janda said. “Sometimes they’re biting, sometimes they’re not.” In this case, he doesn’t want them to bite. “It really just depends,” Janda said about how much graffiti there is on a given day. “Sometimes there can be a lot, sometimes not as much.” The city began a free graffiti removal service in 2008 for residential property and in 2011 for commercial Randall Janda, graffiti removal officer for the city of Thornton, paints over a tagged property.

Federal Heights mayoral recall fails Pro Tem Hamlin steps down days before vote BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Federal Heights recall vote failed at the polls Feb. 7, but there will be turnover on the City Council as one of the recall targets stepped down two days before the vote. John Hamlin, the City Councilor from Ward 1 and the mayor pro tem, said his Feb. 5 decision to resign from the council had to do with personal family issues and not local politics. “The recall is what the recall is, but my family is growing by one member this May and we just need more room,” Hamlin said. “I love this city. You know, I really wish I could stay. But you need to have enough room for the family.” Mayor Daniel Dick survived the recall effort, with supporters giving him 62 percent of the vote total — 658 residents voted in support of the mayor and against the recall, compared with 405 who voted to recall him. Dick thanked his neighbors and friends for their support and said he wants to get on with city business. “But I don’t expect this to stop now,” Dick said. “I think that they are already plotting another strategy. I hope

that they do stop and stop spending the city’s money. But I’m there to serve the people and if I think I’m doing the right thing, I’ll do it.” The recall effort began with the city’s Residential Rental Property Inspection Program, which city officials say was designed to protect renters from unsafe homes. It requires rental homes to be inspected every four years. Opponents of the program, started in 2013, say the video recordings of the inspections violated privacy rights and that renters should have had the option of not participating. Hamlin’s resignation short-circuited the recall effort aimed at him. City Clerk Patti Lowell said that per state law, she didn’t count the ballots cast against the councilor. “It was a moot point,” she said. “The votes for and against didn’t even count.” More than 400 people signed a petition last year seeking to recall the mayor and the councilor. The city mailed 4,740 ballots to residents, and 1,063 returned their ballots — about 22 percent. Lowell said the effort now turns to replacing Hamlin. Councilors will take applications through Feb. 22 and should begin interviewing replacements on Feb. 28. For more information, contact the City Clerk at 303-4123536.

Private partnerships While the plan is to construct civic buildings like a city hall and recreation center, a large piece of this project is using city-owned land for private development, like a hotel. Andrew Knudtsen, managing principal at Economic and Planning Systems, said there is already interest in a hotel on site. “The hotel is the driver here,” Knudtsen told the council.

Just a concept If the council were to approve the current or even a slightly different version of what was presented Feb. 6, the plan would still be conceptional. “It’s not prescriptive, it is merely a guidance,” Svoboda explained in the interview. He said it would be added to the city’s master plan. “We’re identifying what we aspire to have here, but the reality is that what ultimately might get built and how and the when what might get built will change over time,” Svoboda said in the interview. “But what we’re trying to do is establish a primary vision and goal.” Jay Renkens, principal and director of Denver area operations for MIG, a planning and design company consulting on the project, said that concept was built using six themes of vibrant, valuable, strategic, connected, sustainable and contextual. The current design focuses on having a street that is pedestrian friendly and is conducive to hosting festivals and farmers’ markets. Several council members also expressed concern with parking. Mullica noted that seemed to be a priority in earlier versions that was addressed with a parking garage. Renkens said a parking garage would be too costly, driving the price for retail space above market value to pay for it. As the development becomes more vibrant, it could be a financially viable option to add later, however.

Northglenn City Council members like a proposed civic center complex in concept but fear the 22-year long build-out takes too long and the $20.7 million in new taxes needed to fund it is too much. The council heard a presentation on the civic center complex during its study session Feb. 6. It is considering making the complex a part of the city’s master plan. Phase one of the project, construction of a recreation center and theater, could start in 2018. Phase two construction of a new city hall could be completed around 2027. The final phase of private development on the site — including senior housing — could come as late as 2039. Ward 4 Councilmember Kim Snetzinger said that was too long. “That’s a no-go because so many things could change,” she said. Snetzinger said that in just five years from now the market and other factors could create different needs. “I just think it’s too long of a timeframe,” she said. Ward 2 Councilmember Becky Brown agreed, noting that affordable senior citizen housing is needed in the very near future for current residents past retirement age. Waiting another 20 years is too long. “I like it, I think it’s going to be nice,” Brown said of the overall concept, but the timeline was a sticking point. Ward 1 Councilmember Carol Dodge also shared those sentiments. Ward 3 Councilmember Kyle Mullica was concerned with revenue to pay for the project. The city is already planning to use bonds to pay for a new justice center this year. Phase one of the civic center complex project is estimated at $37.7 million for the recreation center and theater, plus $12 million for infrastructure cost from bonds. Phase two would cost an estimated $12.9 million for a new city hall plus $5 million in infrastructure costs. Phase three would be another $2.9 million for infrastructure costs. Consultants working with the city on the project foresee, with conservative estimates, that $20.7 million could be generated in property sales and lodging taxes, paying for 42 percent of the project’s total cost.

He said the property tax, sales tax and hotel tax would create significant continuous income for the city. City officials and consultants estimate a hotel would have 125 to 150 rooms. The hotel is just one piece of speculative private development on city-owned land along Community Center Drive near 120th Avenue and I-25, where the current city hall and recreation center are now located. “We’ve refined the land-use program that’s now being market tested,” Northglenn Planning Director Brook Svoboda said in an interview before the Feb. 6 study session. Svoboda said that if council consents to move forward with the project, the city would likely seek private developers to use the land around the civic buildings for apartments or townhomes, commercial offices and retail stores. Svoboda pointed out that this has been a long planning process with multiple methods of public input and feedback from the council. The council was expected to discuss the project further at its retreat Feb. 11 then again in a study session or regular business meeting in April. Svoboda said he expected the council to vote on the project in April.

Northglenn boy grows up to follow Disney dream Nathan Evans’ imagination takes him to Imagineering competition ﬁnals BY ANN MACARI HEALEY AHEALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On his last business trip to Los Angeles, Nathan Evans looked up the address of Walt Disney Imagineering, drove over and parked outside the fence surrounding the campus. He walked along the sidewalk, peering inside, and snapped a photo of the building. And on days when his dream of being on the other side of the fence seemed further out of reach, the picture reminded the former Northglenn resident of his goal. “When I was discouraged, when I thought I was never getting out of the agency world, I would look at that picture,” Evans, 31, said. “I would remember this is a real place, where people are really there working. It kept the dream going.” That was two years ago. Last month, Evans and three other students from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia walked into that building as one of six finalist teams in the 2017 Walt Disney Imagineering Imaginations Design competition. “It was,” Evans said, “a special moment.”

GARY KRUEGER/©DISNEY About the competition The prestigious competition is geared to finding and nurturing the next generation of Imagineers, the behind-the-scenes people who create the magic at Disney’s theme parks and resorts. Since 1991, hundreds of students from universities across the country have participated. Some have gone on to become interns or full-time Imagineers. This year, six teams where chosen

from among 336 submissions. Besides the Savannah College of Art and Design, they came from University of California in San Diego, Howard University, Miami University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Notre Dame and Iowa State University.

Their challenge: To develop a new outdoor space at their universities to provide a respite from daily stresses while addressing the diverse needs of their students and faculty. “It’s not something that Disney would ever build,” Frank Reifsnyder, communications director at Walt Disney Imagineering, said of the students’ projects. “What we’re looking for…is the next generation of theme park designers.” The competition evaluates how teams and individuals collaborate, their creativity, individual talents, presentation skills — “almost like a real-world Imagineering team,” Reifsnyder said. The teams enjoyed an all-expense paid trip to Los Angeles from Jan. 23-27, during which they worked with mentors to further develop their projects, toured Disneyland backstage and applied for internships. They presented their projects to a panel of Imagineering judges and also to the department in general. The Savannah College project — “Hideaway Grove,” five open-air treehouses that combine technology and nature — didn’t place in the top three. SEE DISNEY, P9

Thornton teen becomes a voice for Colorado patients

$500 OFF

BY STAFF REPORT

A Thornton girl became the voice for hundreds of young Colorado hospital patients last week, part of a $21 million fundraising radio-telethon for Children’s Hospital Colorado. Pamela Gonzales, 14, of Thornton, was one five Children’s Hospital Patient Ambassadors featured on air Feb. 9 and 10 on Alice 105.9 broadcast. Gonzales was unable to walk after her third birthday and was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. She was told she had six months to live when she was 7 years old because her organs were being crushed by a severe curve in her spine. She also suffered from a double heart murmur. Pediatric orthopedic surgeons at Children’s Hospital performed a partial-fusion surgery that helped her defy her diagnosis. Now she’s a happy teenager who loves art and playing the ukulele. She wants to go to the Colorado Art Institute and pursue her dream of becoming an artist. Gonzales was featured in spots and the focus of a live on-air interview Feb. 9 that was rebroadcast Feb. 10. The radiothon is a two-day event that raises money specifically for Children’s Hospital Colorado. All of the money raised stays local and is used to benefit the areas of greatest need

But for Evan, who left a successful eight-year advertising agency career to chase his dream, just being a finalist was a win. “I learned a lot, built a good career,” he said, “but always had this feeling I wasn’t quite in the right place — that I was meant to do something else.” Pursuing the dream He comes from an ardent Disney-fan family. His parents, Michelle and John Evans, honeymooned at Disneyland 34 years ago. They brought Evans and his sister there almost every year. Evans was 9 months old on his first visit, and he figures he’s visited 20 to 30 times since. “I was always craning my head up and backwards to look at what was happening behind me at the ride track, what was coming together to make this experience happen,” Evans remembered. At Community Christian in Northglenn, he busied himself making short films. A favorite was a heistgone-bad called “Twinkies” in which local businesses helped out with locations and props. A Ford dealership even loaned a van for the heist. He graduated with marketing and finance degrees from University of Denver, started working in the advertising agency world, married. In 2014 — with the urging of his wife, Jenna

— he started teaching himself how to draw and paint by hand and digitally, readying himself to apply to the themed entertainment design graduate program at Savannah College of Art and Design. He studied before and after work and in-between helping care for their new baby. When he won a fellowship to the program, the couple sold their home last year and moved to Georgia. He started school in the fall and with his team reached the finals of the Imagineering competition soon after. His parents, who now live in Thornton, aren’t surprised at their son’s journey. From the time he was little, he craved learning and creating — whether it was about magic or the constellations or screenwriting. “He’s never afraid to pick up and try a new adventure,” John said. The design competition was “a culmination of years and years of creative pursuit and having a vision for always wanting to create things for people to enjoy,” Michelle said. “We’re just so delighted that he had this experience.” Evans’ week at Imagineering has only reinforced the passion. He loved the culture, the people. He is hoping for an internship there this summer. And, one day, maybe, a full-time job there will come his way. “I would love to work at Disney — or another company within the field,” Evans said. But “Disney really is the dream, now that I’ve sort of had a taste. That is the real super dream.”

Public documents warrant 21st century approach

ublic documents that are created and compiled by tax-supported entities such as school districts, municipalities and counties should be easily accessible for the public, newspapers and other interested groups. Obviously, confidential information such as employee personnel records is an exception to this statement. In Colorado, we have what is known as CORA or the Colorado Open Records Act, which addresses the public’s right to access documents and compiled data. While there are exceptions to this mandate, such as “attorney-client privileged information,” most information is accessible.

CORA was enacted by the state Legislature in 1969. As we know, computers and electronicformatted documents, spreadsheets and the like have exploded in quantity for both public and private organizations since this time. While microfilm and microfiche were stateof-the-art back then, digital data has swept by these former modes of storing and retrieving documents and data. Digital format and confidential information However, CORA has not kept up with the changing times as far as clear and concise wording that requires taxing entities to provide digitized records in useful formats to the

public. Senate Bill 40 would update CORA and make the law truly a 21st century law. Formatting of the requested record is a key consideration. For example, email and spreadsheets would need to be provided in the same format as originally structured. This would mean that the taxing entity could no longer get away with printing out hundreds of pages of records from a data base and say that it has met CORA requirements. If a document contains confidential information, the proposed law would simply mandate that the confidential portion

Here are the things that I know for sure

ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

here’s a line in “Brilliant Disguise,” a song by Bruce Springsteen, that goes: “God have mercy on the man who doubts what he’s sure of.” This poignant verse has always rung true for me, and in the current world of gaslighting and alternative facts, I have found myself pondering more and more often what it is that I am truly sure of. And here is what I know for sure: The brightest lights in any city are in the hospital emergency room. Whether you are there seeking help (as I have been numerous times after

mountain biking accidents), or are there with others who need help, the light is unrelenting. The glare from metal doors and instruments bounces off fluorescent bulbs, white walls and white floors. Night and day are one and they both have hard, well-lit edges, softened only by the voices and faces and hands of those who ultimately provide that help. Dogs leave us way too soon. Timber, Roget. Winston, Trouble, Cousteau. Cedar. Hickory and Casey. Daisy. Quinn. Some good-byes are harder than others. If you are a dog person (and perhaps even if you aren’t), you will understand

this sentiment: If dogs don’t go to heaven, I want to go where the dogs go. My parents left me with too many questions. I was so lucky to have my parents for as long as I did, into my late 40s and early 50s. The world was a better place for their having been here. But … I wish I had asked more.

Time to increase your happiness intelligence GUEST COLUMN

Glenn Bott

e hear a lot about our emotional intelligence these days. Do you take time to increase your Happiness Intelligence? This is much more important to your longstanding success and satisfaction than your EI or IQ. Let’s explore this further: Happiness is available to each of us throughout the day. It’s a matter of choice, an inside job. In any moment we can choose to be happy, yet this is a rare quality because so few make the decision. Choosing to be happy isn’t difficult. It just takes a little practice. Few do this because of habit and an unwillingness to reprogram themselves for better results. Shawn Achor, a Harvard professor, teaches a

positive psychology course. It’s the most popular class at Harvard, not just because it’s fun and enlightening but because it works and produces results. Shawn defines happiness as doing what you love. It’s what gives meaning to your life. Shawn’s studies have proven that we all have the power to be happier. This is developed by making a conscious decision to be happy and then develop and strengthen your discipline to keep moving in that direction. His research shows that 75 percent of success comes from your sense of optimism and social connections. The remaining 25 percent is from your “smartness.” SEE BOTT, P11

Clarifying statement in immigration debate story I wish to commend you on Amy Thompson’s report, “Westminster councilor’s remarks spark anger” on page 5 of the Feb. 2, 2017 issue. Your handling of the powerful response to my Jan. 9, 2017 comments and the resulting demonization and vilification of me that flowed through our community was done in a journalistically professional manner. I would like to clarify an important point. Westminster council never voted on the publication of our “Building a Welcoming Community” statement. Reporting “The resolution, approved 6-1 with Baker the lone dissenter“ is inaccurate. During an e-mail exchange, council members Garcia, DeCambra, Pinter and Bird requested the removal, from the proposed statement, of the sentence “The Westminster Police Department does, however, continue to work in cooperation with Federal authorities and communicates when appropriate on cases.” The approval of four council members was all that was needed to publish the then-amended statement. Council member Seitz and Mayor Atchison’s view on the matter was never given during the e-mail exchange. The point of my comments on Dec. 12, 2016 was to remind my colleagues that I read our statement to imply Westminster was not cooperating with federal authorities and challenge them to vote on the statement. Publicly voting is what open, transparent government means to me. Bruce Baker Westminster City Councilor

be removed by the keeper of the documents and then provide the balance of the information. Seems pretty simple to me. Past incidents confirm need to change There are adequate horror stories from the past that document the need to update CORA to make it compatible with today’s technology and easier access for public interests. I can personally recite a couple of such stories involving Westminster Public Schools back in the day when then Superintendent of Schools Roberta Selleck was spending $90 million on the “build it they will come” Westminster High School. Let’s hope Senate Bill 40 is successful this year after last year’s failed attempt. Thanks to the Secretary of State’s Office, the subject Senate Bill is a bipartisan endeavor this year. Federal Heights mayor recall defeated The voters have spoken. The Feb. 7 special election in Federal Heights, which pertained to the possible recall of Mayor Daniel Dick and Mayor Pro Tem John Hamlin, was decided. The recall vote pertaining to Mayor Dick failed on a vote of 405 for and 658 against. So, that outcome should put the recall efforts of special interests in Federal Heights to rest (at least for a while). Mayor Pro Tem Hamlin resigned prior to the election and those votes were not counted. He had recently sold his house and is

moving out of town. City Council will now need to appoint a replacement. Support for mayor and program As you may recall, the key issue that motivated special interests to force the recall election centered on the city’s Residential Inspection Program. It covers rental properties that are single-family dwellings including mobile homes. The election resulted in 62 percent of those who voted supporting the mayor and keeping him in office. While it would be questionable to state that all 62 percent are hearty supporters of the inspection program, I believe it is accurate to say that this program was at the heart of why residents voted the way they did. Given this connection between the mayor and the program, I find the outcome to be a vote of support for both the mayor and the inspection program. Such a result is impressive given the nature of a program that allows the city to inspect inside people’s homes, which are rental property. Such enforcement-type programs always seem to have a group against such programs arguing invasion of privacy, unconstitutional aspects or excessive government intervention. Hopefully, now the issue has been put to rest and renters can be assured that decent and safe housing will continue to prevail in Federal Heights.

Little library, lots of

community Todd Walsh, his wife, Kristi, and their two daughters, Maya and Nora, created two Little Free Libraries for their Lakewood community. Todd frequently gets requests to build Little Free Libraries from neighbors and the school where he teaches.

Trend helps create connections while boosting love of reading BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

fter the bus drops her off from school, London Branch, 5, runs to her Little Free Library box to look for a new

book. “It is almost like a treasure box, you never know what you are going to discover,” said Fernando Branch, London’s father. Rewind to spring break 2016. Fernando, a principal at Noel Community Art School, decided to spend his weeklong break to complete a project with his daughters that would benefit the community. Despite the cold weather and 1-yearold daughter Lauren’s persistence in stealing the wood glue, Fernando and his family built their Little Free Library and put it up in front of their home on South Madison Circle in Centennial in mid-January. Building the box is a memory he will always have with his daughters, Fernando said. London adores keeping track of what is new. For both of his daughters, their favorite book found in their library, so far, has been “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle.

NOT JUST FOR YOUNG FAMILIES Young families are not the only Little Free Library lovers. Josh Beers, 17, from Golden employed his Boy Scout troup to build some for the community. Each year, Boy Scouts plan, fund and complete service projects to earn their Eagle Scout badges. Josh’s mom told him about a Little Free Library she came across on her walk and, after some research, Josh decided to make a few for his service project.

MAKE YOUR OWN ganized members from Troop 130 in Golden to construct three little libraries. “I organized everything and taught everyone what to do,” Josh said. “It was really easy.”

On littlefreelibrary.org, a variety of alreadybuilt library hutches are available for purchase. For those interested in building a Little Free Library, the website offers resources, support and inspiration.

After planting the libraries in front of a church, an apartment complex and within a community, Josh found that each library is sustaining itself.

In addition, you can find the Little Free Library nearest to you by going to the same website and clicking on “map.”

With blueprint help from his father, Josh or-

“Now I can say that I found that they are being taken care of,” Josh said. “Sometimes they get a little empty, but there is always that person who will come and put a ton of books in.”

“She runs over there to see if someone has put something in there that she wants,” Fernando said. “I love to see that it started an enthusiasm for reading in her.” Fernando also is excited about the response from his neighbors. “While I was out there with the girls measuring, people would stop and ask what we were doing,” Fernando said. “It started so many conversations.” Conversations at the box go beyond a friendly “hello.” He finds the Little Free Library to be a way for people to learn about the diversities found in his own neighborhood. He believes it brings people together with similarities. “When we engage in these projects

with our families, it encourages the American values that we share,” Fernando said. “The core of reading is education. As a society, we are really quick to point out the differences of us all. But if we focus on the love of the things we share in common, like the love to read and educate ourselves — that is a unifier.” The Little Free Library is, at its core, a small-scale neighborhood book exchange. A structure sheltering between 20 to 60 books is built or purchased by a community member and planted in the community. Whoever comes across a Little Free Library is welcome to either take a book or leave a book. Margret Aldrich, media and programming director

“I liked the idea of a self-sufficient library,” Josh said. “It was like an experiment.”

In late January, the Little Free Library started the Action Book Club. This club encourages participants to engage with their community by reading books on timely topics, engaging in lively conversations and committing to community service projects. Different book clubs can communicate online. To sign up an Action Book Club of your own, visit littlefreelibrary.org/actionbookclub. at the Little Free Library nonprofit organization, based in Hudson, Wisconsin, said the library becomes self-sustaining. All family-friendly reading materials are welcome in the exchange. Self-help, Westerns, science fiction, picture books and many more genres are encouraged to circulate through the libraries.

Swallow Hill gives new songwriters a chance to shine LINER NOTES

Clarke Reader

One of the trickiest things about being a musician is getting your music out there where people can actually hear it. And while there’s a slew of online platforms to host music for free, that doesn’t mean people will hear it. That’s where Swallow Hill Music comes in. For the ninth year, the organization is hosting its annual Young Writers Competition for performers in middle and high school. “Submissions have to be original lyrics that can be performed live,” said Cheri Gonzales, director of Swallow Hill’s school operations. “The biggest prize for our winners is the opportunity to perform at our venues, and to have some time in a professional recording studio.” But for Thomas Koenigs, who won the contest in 2015, there was a greater prize. “Winning wasn’t the most important thing, although it was very gratifying,” he remembered. “For me, the best part was meeting all these people, and making some crazy important connections.” Swallow Hill is accepting submissions until 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 24. Gonzales said the nonprofit usually receives about 20 to 30 submissions, and from there 10 contestants are selected to perform live on April 1, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Denver. There are no genre limitations for entry,

LIBRARY FROM PAGE 12

The first Little Free Library was built in Hudson, Wisconsin, in 2009 by Tod Bol in tribute to his book-loving mother. The Little Free Library became a nonprofit in 2012. The little library trend has grown to 50,000 set-ups in 50 states and in 70 countries. Colorado is home to more than 600 Little Free Libraries. According to Aldrich, the libraries become community hubs. There is no style guide dictaty ing the appearance of a Little Free Library. Though the usual structure resembles a birdhouse or a dollhouse, people are encouraged to be creative. There are Little Free Libraries that are brightly painted or shaped like robots, police-call boxes,

and over the years participants have included a cappella, solo singer-songwriters, duos and groups. “It’s really whatever the performer feels is the best way to express themselves,” she said. “We’ve had people who take the Bob Dylan, solo acoustic guitar route, to multi-instrumentalists who are able to pull off really dynamic performances.” For Koenigs, music was a way to channel his interest in writing and appreciation for artists like Dylan and Creedence Clearwater Revival. “I’d taken some rock classes, but had only written some basic chord progressions,” he said. “It was nerve-wracking to get up and perform something I had written, but everyone was so friendly, and helped me get better.” The professional performance and recording opportunities are a great boon to its winners, Gonzales said, but any occasion to play music live is a plus. “For a lot of contestants, they’re just getting started in the professional music process,” she said. “Giving them a chance to put their work out there is very important, and we make sure everyone is very encouraging throughout the process.” Currently, Koenigs is studying English literature, but the people he met in the competition are still a part of his life. “The whole environment for this was so supportive,” he said. “There’s no downside to

whales, log cabins and rowboats. A $40 registration fee puts the library on the website’s official community map and database. The company sends an official “Little Free Library” sign and an information and resource packet. The trend also helps the homeless, who may not have access to books at conventional libraries because they have no address, Aldrich said. Love at first sight Five years ago, Todd Walsh, his wife and their two daughters spent a vacation visiting friends. During a walk, they discovered a Little Free Library. The family instantly fell in love with the idea. Three summers later, Walsh was hammering the nails into his own Little Free Library for his home on West Applewood Knolls Drive in Lakewood.

Review: Adams’ first album of new material since 2014, “Prisoner” is a moving and heartfelt exploration of loves ending and beginning, at least partly inspired by his divorce from Mandy Moore in 2015. The album showcases some of Adams’ best and most devastating songwriting, and anyone who has suffered a broken heart while find a line or two that hits like a punch to the gut. But for both Adams and the listener, there’s also beauty and release to be found in music. Favorite song: “Shiver and Shake” Best homage to Bruce Springsteen’s “Tunnel of Love”: “Tightrope” taking a chance and trying this.” For more information, and submission guidelines, visit www.swallowhillmusic.org/community/young-songwriters-competition.

“Where we live in Lakewood, our house is right on the corner and it is a popular route to a park,” Walsh said. “We have a lot of foot traffic.” The Slater Elementary School teacher only had time to work on the project while his daughters Maya, 6, and Nora, 4, were napping. While working on the project, Walsh’s neighbor walked across the street to see what was going on. The two discussed the Little Free Library and decided that their neighborhood needed not one, but two of the book hubs. Walsh completed both projects after a month of work. One is dedicated solely to housing children’s books while the other, directly across the street, holds books for teen and adult readers. “It has been amazing and we have loved it,” Walsh said. “It has been a great way for us to meet people. It

is a great conversation starter. We watch from the windows and love seeing families on bike rides stop and take books.” Walsh did not stop building at two little libraries. The Slater Elementary sixth-graders, as a tradition, leave a contribution to their school before advancing to middle school. They commissioned Walsh in 2016 to make a Little Free Library for the school. To this day, passersby knock on Walsh’s door and ask him about the little library outside his home. Many people ask him to make a little library for their neighborhoods miles away. “It really is a conversation starter,” Walsh said. “Normally someone might say ‘hello,’ but now we have gotten to know so many of our neighbors because we have something to talk about.”

‘Warming words for winter months’ brings community together Anythink spreads kindness with project at Adams County libraries BY BY KEVIN M. SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Patrons of Anythink libraries took on one simple task last week: spreading kindness through words. One word, to be exact. The One Kind Word project kicked off Feb. 6-11 through a variety of activities at the nine Anythink branches across Adams County. The weeklong initiative was inspired by a Japanese proverb that states “One kind word can warm three winter months,” according to anythinklibraries.org. “When we were creating this districtwide program it was to spread joy and compassion and create an opportunity for community members to learn something,” said Stacie Ledden, director of innovations and brand strategy for Anythink. One initiative had library patrons write notes of kindness to strangers. They could do this anytime while at the library but there were also workshops teaching calligraphy, embossing and screen printing — skills to help provide opportunities for creative notes. “We’re a learning organization, so trying to get these things together are

Brooke Bedwell and her daughter Addison, 9, of Thornton work on calligraphy during a workshop Feb. 8 workshop at the Wright Farms branch of Anythink Library. The libary’s districtwide project, called One Kind Word, “was to spread joy and compassion and create an opportunity for community members to learn something,” said Stacie Ledden, director of innovations and brand strategy for Anythink. PHOTOS BY KEVIN M. SMITH really important,” Ledden said. Several patrons interested in calligraphy learned about the One Kind Word project at a Feb. 8 workshop at the Wright Farms Branch in Thornton. “I think it’s a really cool idea,” Brooke Bedwell of Thornton said. She attended with her daughter, Addison, 9, to learn more about calligraphy, which Brooke has tried on her own before. “I’d like to get insight and learn correction procedure,” she said.

Evette Goldstein, whose calligraphy is on display at the state capitol and has been at the White House, taught the workshop. She taught a faux calligraphy style to get the look made quickly, because to write true calligraphy “you need a lot of practice, a dip-style pen and a lot of ink.” She emphasized that calligraphy can be left to an individual’s creativity. “The definition of calligraphy is `beautiful writing,’ ” Goldstein said. And beauty, she pointed out, is in the eye of the beholder or creator of art.

Murder charge leveled at Westminster man

Texting and driving bill advances in Legislature or subsequent offense. Current law requires a $50 fine and one point for a first offense and a $100 fine and one point for subsequent offenses. After it was rewritten, the bill calls for a penalty of a $300 fine and four points on the driver’s license per occurrence. State Rep. Jovan Melton, D- Aurora, is sponsoring the bill in the House. The next step for the bill is a vote by the Senate Finance Committee, scheduled for Feb. 16. Court is confident the bill will advance to the full Senate thereafter and move to the House by the end of the month.

BY STAFF REPORT

A bill to increase penalties for drivers convicted of distracted driving related to cellphone use passed the state Senate’s State, Veterans & Military Affairs Committee on Feb. 8 by a 4-1 vote. The committee amended some of the bill’s language and changed penalties assessed to drivers in an effort to gain more bipartisan support. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Lois Court, D-Denver, originally included a fine of $500 and five points on the driver’s license for a first offense and a $750 fine and six points for a second

BY STAFF REPORT

A 47-year-old Westminster man remains in custody after a 2-year-old girl in his care died of severe head trauma last month, according to Westminster police. Police arrested Joseph Barela on charges of first-degree murder on Jan 26. Barela has a history of domestic violence and assault accusations, according to the arrest affidavit released by the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office. According to the affidavit, Barela, the boyfriend of the girl’s mother, had been the last person with the girl,

Samantha Sanchez. Police were called to the 5500 block of 79th Avenue on Jan. 26 to help a 2-year-old girl who was not breathing, the affidavit said. She was transported to a local hospital, treated for significant injuries and placed on life support. She was removed from life support on the following day and succumbed to her injuries. Barela is being held at the Jefferson County Detention Facility. According to the affidavit, he said he found her having difficulty breathing and denied any role in the girl’s injuries. Police representatives said the investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Mountain Range’s Jackson leaves state meet disappointed Legacy’s Brookstein, at sixth place, top ﬁnisher among north swimmers and divers BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mountain Range senior Taylor Jackson did a diplomatic job of hiding her feelings after a tough day of diving at the Class 5A Swimming Championships on Feb. 10 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatics Center in Thornton. Jackson, the school’s six- and 11-dive record holder and Front Range League diving champion, was the top-rated 5A diver coming into the meet. However, she left the VMAC after finishing seventh with 423.20 points in the state championship diving competition.

“It is what it is,” said Jackson, who will dive for Seton Hall University in the fall. “Yeah, I wish I could have walked out a little happier than I am. I’m happy with the things I’ve done well even though my season was great.” Jackson wound up 70.5 points behind state champion Lexi Barker of the Douglas County/Castle View team. “For the most part I did a pretty good job during the meet, but I could have done better,” added Jackson. Legacy’s Georgia Brookstein was the top finisher among north metro swimmers and divers placing sixth in diving with 435.90 points. The Lightning finished 16th in team standings with 37 points and Mountain Range was 21st with the 12 points that Jackson earned. Fossil Ridge took home the state championship trophy with 390 points with Fairview the runner-up and Arapahoe coming in third.

Josie Dudden cheers for her sister, Megan, during the 200 free relay during the swim state meet prelims. It was the last event senior Megan Dudden swam for Horizon High School.

Megan Dudden swims the backstroke portion of her 200 individual medley during preliminary competition at the state meet Feb. 9. Dudden didn’t perform as she was hoping, saying she “went too hard and couldn’t bring it home... Afterwards, I was like ‘Where’s the oxygen?’ ”

Megan Dudden ended her high school career at Horizon High School Feb. 9 in tears between breaks of contagious laughter. Dudden said that it was a bittersweet feeling and that “these girls are like family. I couldn’t find a better group anywhere.” She will continue to swim at Adams State University in Alamosa next year.

Mountain Range’s Taylor Jackson performs a dive during state prelims on Feb. 9. At the beginning of that day Jackson wanted to “walk out feeling satisfied, not thinking I could’ve done better.” At the end of the day, she had done just that and advanced to finals. PHOTOS BY IAN WARREN

Taylor Jackson of Mountain Range High School smiles after she rushes over in excitement about her score after a dive at state finals Feb. 10. She eventually placed 7th in state diving. She had started the day off saying “I just want to end it well. It’s not the end of my career... I want to do the best I can.” Jackson will be diving at Seton Hall University next year.

Some games leave a lasting impression

Horizon junior Isabella Allen gets ready to shoot a free throw after being fouled. She scored seven points in the Feb. 7 game, which the Hawks lost, 69-45. IAN WARREN

Horizon lets game slip away in second half Kylie Jimenez scores 30 points in non-league loss to Grandview BY SCOTT STOCKER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Horizon’s Kylie Jimenez had one of her best nights of the season, scoring a gamehigh 30 points. But it wasn’t good enough as visiting Grandview came through with a

69-45 victory in the teams’ Feb. 7 non-league encounter. None of Jimenez’s teammates, however, joined her in double figures. Isabella Allen ended with seven points, while four remaining teammates combined for eight points. Grandview’s Michaela Onyenwere scored 24 points to pace the Wolves while being joined in double figures by Jaiden Galloway and Leilah Vigil, each with 11 points. SEE BASKETBALL, P32

remember years ago, 29 to be exact, being in the Denver North gym for a memorable night of high school basketball. Manual’s Chucky Sproling set a single-game state record by scoring 74 points against the Vikings. OVERTIME Alameda’s boys basketball coach Henry Aguilar probably won’t forget the evening he spent in the North gym Feb. 6, when the Pirates outlasted North, 9593, in a four-overtime, non-league game. “It was like playing two games, it was a long night,” said Aguilar, who assumed the Alameda head coaching reins less than three weeks before the start of the season. Jim Benton “The win kind of helps bring us together. We’ve had a rough season. Four starters fouled out of the game against North and everybody was completely exhausted. We had to play the fourth overtime with four sophomores and one senior starter. That was tough.” The win helped boost Alameda’s overall record to 9-10. “The first overtime, they were up by two and our senior guard Anthony Lawson drove to the basket and hit two clutch free throws to send it to the second overtime,” Aguilar explained. “In the second overtime, we had a two-point lead with like 20 seconds left and a younger guy took a shot when he wasn’t supposed to. The North point guard took it all the way and got a layup and sent it to the third overtime. “We hit two free throws and sent it to the last overtime. In the fourth overtime, four starters fouled out so we had four reserves. A couple of our younger players stepped up. A sophomore, Domonic Creazzi, hit a clutch three, we got fouled a couple times and made some free throws and ended up winning.” No stranger to titles Taelore Fehr knows what it takes to win a state gymnastics championship. Fehr, a 2009 Green Mountain graduate, was been hired as the new head coach for the Rams’ gymnastics program, according to Athletic Director Tommy Dodge. In 2006 and 2008, Fehr was a member of Green Mountain’s Class 5A state championship teams. The Rams were the state runner-up in 2005 and 2007. Fehr, who has been an assistant at Green Mountain for the past six years, takes control of the program that won the Class 4A state title last fall. She replaces coach Sandi Patterson and her assistant coach and husband Don Patterson, who left to spend more time with family. Dodge is also seeking a new girls volleyball coach. SEE BENTON, P23

Heritage hires Eberle Heritage has hired Hannah Eberle as its new volleyball coach. Eberle is a Ralston Valley graduate and a former Mustangs junior varsity coach. She replaces Jana Barrett, who stepped away after compiling a 11-33-0 record over the past two seasons. Can you dig it? Over the past few weeks it has been hard to not notice posters for boys volleyball tryouts at various gyms. Boys volleyball is not a sanctioned sport by the Colorado High School Activities Association, but there are 43 schools that have club teams and compete during

the spring in the Colorado Boys High School Volleyball Association. The CHSAA Equity Committee delivered a side-out last month by failing to endorse a proposal to have boys volleyball added to the list of sanctioned sports. Adding boys volleyball would affect most school’s under Title IX, which aims to provide male and female students with varsity athletic opportunities in proportion to their school’s student body. Despite not getting a recommendation from the committee, some league could sponsor a bylaw that would seek to sanction boys volleyball at the April Legislative Council meeting. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com or at 303-566-4083.

Lightning take second at regionals Eight Legacy wrestlers earn berths at state tournament BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Legacy wrestlers earned the point needed to finish second in the team standings at the Class 5A Region 2 State Qualifying Tournament Feb. 10-11 at Legacy High School. Eight Lightning athletes advanced to state by finishing in the top four in their weight divisions. Brighton won the team title with 271 points and Legacy was second with 207.5 points. Ponderosa finished third with 161 points. Legacy, ranked second going into last year’s tournament, was senior dominated and there were expectations that the Lightning would not be as strong this year. But Legacy Coach Mike Thompson said this has been a fun year working with this group of wrestlers. “We have a couple seniors leading us as well as a great group of younger kids who worked hard all season. The great thing about the season is where we were when we started practices and where we are now,” Thompson said. “We have kids who really stepped up to the plate. I knew they could do it but they had to learn how to win and they have.” Because the Lightning is such a young team, everyone figured Legacy would be down, he said. “I told the kids we are not rebuilding, we are remodeling because we are

doing this year what we did last year,” Thompson said. Senior Aidan Funk said his dad was a wrestler who got all the boys in the family involved in the sport. “I have been wrestling since I was about three or four,” he said. “I am second oldest so it is a tradition as my older brother took second at state last year.” He said he is working on his mental focus at regionals and hopefully when he goes to state next week. “A lot of wrestling is mental,” Funk said. “You may wrestle a better kid but if he isn’t ready to go mentally he can lose the match. My focus is to be ready and wrestle my style every time I go out on the mat.” He was focused as he was one of eight Legacy wrestlers who qualified for state. The leading Lightning individual successes in three weight class championships included Mitch Mueller at 132 pounds, Funk at 160 pounds and Drian Hays at 170 pounds. Joey Joiner was second at 126 pounds and four Lightning wrestlers finished fourth in their respective weigh divisions: Keegan Hoffman at 113, Sean Key at 138, Aaron Otterson at 145 and Brandon Willis at 182. Northglenn was the other area team at the Region 2 tournament. The Norse finished sixth in the team standings and four Northglenn wrestlers qualified for state. The state qualifiers included Ricky Nava who was second at 106, and the trio of third-place finishers included Jimmy Herrera at 113 pounds, Jeremiah Gomez at 120 pounds and Carlos Flores at 182 pounds.

February 16, 2017F Senior Kylie Jimenez, of Horizon High School, maneuvers around a Grandview player. Jimenez scored 32 points, including two 3-pointers in the emotioncharged game. Horizon ended up losing, 6945. IAN WARREN

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 20

Grandview, coached by Josh Ulitzky, improved to 18-1 on the season, while Horizon, under coach Kim Kubsch, fell to 17-3 after the Feb. 7 game. “It was a great first half, but the third quarter was not what we wanted,” said Jimenez, a senior. “We need to find ways to finish and not let anyone get away from us. We moved the ball to begin, but we just couldn’t keep it up. We were beaten by a great team.” The game was close through the first half as Grandview led by only 30-28 lead. But the Wolves broke it open in the third quarter, establishing a 49-35 lead, then finished Horizon off with a 20-point, fourth-quarter onslaught. “It’s been a tough year and you just have to take each game one at a time,” said Grandview’s Vigil. “I don’t want to let up, and we just have to keep relying on each other.”

A 16-point run in the third quarter, without giving up any points to Horizon, gave Grandview a 48-30 advantage with approximately two minutes left in the period. But the best was yet to come in the fourth. Grandview fashioned an 18-5 run, and with 2:47 left in the game, registered an insurmountable 67-40 lead. “The kids played great and we were certainly able to apply the pressure on defense and put on a good offensive performance,” said Ulitzky. “We certainly have had a good run and we just want to keep it going.” Although Horizon’s coach Dan Doehler was pleased with his team’s opening efforts, he was less than satisfied with the second half. “Our first half we were able to keep up with them and it was a good game,” said Doehler. “But we let them get away from us in the second. We just don’t want this game to hurt us. We just need to be ready and on our guard to finish out the rest of the season.”

Norse lose to Gateway at season’s last home game SCOTT STOCKER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Fourth-quarter spurts by Gateway’s Makayla Jones and Hanggatu Abdullahi helped the Olympians secure their 50-42 victory Feb. 9 over homestanding Northglenn. Northglenn, coached by Jamie Osborne, entered the fourth quarter with a 30-26 lead over Gateway. But it didn’t last long in their Front Range League encounter. Abdullahi, who only accounted for eight points in the game, got her first three-pointer to open Gateway’s scoring. Her second three-point basket opened the fourth quarter, quickly followed by her only two-pointer, giving the Olympians a 31-30 lead — and a lead they would not relinquish. Jones followed with the next six points for Gateway, pacing the Olympians to a 37-30 advantage with 6:07 left in the game. They closed out with a 24-point quarter while defensively holding Northglenn to only 12 points. A three-point effort by Northglenn’s Kai Padilla closed the

margin to 37-33 and led her to eight straight points to give her a team-leading 14 points in the game. Kai’s senior sister, Isa, scored the next highest number for Northglenn with nine points. It was a tough way, though, to end her home standing career with the Norse. “It’s been a tough four years and I appreciate all of the girls,” said Padilla. “You have to hand it to their defense. I thought we would be able to pull it out, but they certainly played a tough fourth quarter against us.” “We played out hearts out and it’s always tough to lose,” added Norse teammate, senior Naticia Secret. “It’s sad that we won’t play at home anymore. It has been a good season and we improved over the last three years. I just wish everyone the best.” For Osborne, the loss was tough. “But I’m proud of our team and certainly proud of our seniors,” said Osborne. “Our shots didn’t fall for us, but the girls were out there working hard.”
