Former cop gets 4 years

Dozens of children (and a few adults) took advantage of the recent snowfall that covered the small slopes around Parker. The morning of Feb. 1 was particularly busy at a popular sledding hill on the east side of Chaparral High School, off Stonegate Parkway.

Town wants $21 million for projects Voter approval not required for agreement By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Parker Town Council has taken the first step toward issuing $21 million in debt to fund two capital projects. Council voted 5-0 on Feb. 3 in favor of a lease-purchase agreement that will use $21 million worth of certificates of participation to build a new public works facility and expand the Parker Recreation Center. COPs, as they are commonly known, do not require voter approval. It was the first reading of the proposal; town council will make a final decision during a meeting at 7 p.m. Feb. 18 at town hall. The COPs will be paid from base rental payments made by the town per an annual appropriation lease-purchase agreement with the trustee, Wells Fargo Bank. The leased property will consist of two town-owned properties: the existing Parker Town Hall complex and the to-be-constructed public

Traditional revenue bonds, such as the $11.4 million worth of sales-and-use-tax bonds used to build the Parker Fieldhouse in 2006, tie up revenue streams, said Don Warn, the Town of Parker’s director of finance. “COPs can be paid from any revenue stream,” Warn said. Projects continues on Page 8

The Town of Parker expects to spend nearly $6.7 million on debt service in 2014, including $3.7 million for the COPs issued in 2009 to simultaneously build the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center and police station headquarters. It spends more than $1.2 million annually to pay off the bonds used to build the Parker Fieldhouse, including $481,000 in interest. Parker’s total debt payments are expected to rise 23 percent this year because of the issuance of the new COPs.

A police officer will move from the comfortable confines of his Parker home to a federal prison cell for the next four years. Littleton police officer Jeffery Allan Johnston, 46, was arrested in July after it was discovered that he was peddling Ecstasy out of his home. Investigators also found a small amount of cocaine, steroids, hundreds of Johnston prescription pills, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in the residence, along with nine firearms, including an AR-15 and two 12 gauge shotguns. Johnston pleaded guilty in October to one count of being a prohibited person in possession of firearms and one count of possession with intent to distribute MDMA. According to the U.S. Department of Justice website, the penalties for a first-time offender caught distributing a Schedule I drug range from 5 years to 40 years in prison. U.S. Attorney John Walsh said he believes the four-year sentence fits the crime. “As a police officer who violated the public’s trust, a four-year federal prison sentence is just and appropriate given the circumstances,” Walsh said in a prepared statement. “The fact that Johnston was involved in trafficking illegal drugs while also serving as a law enforcement officer is particularly disturbing.” Johnston also was ordered to spend three years on probation upon his release from prison. A source with the Federal Bureau of Investigation attended a party at Johnston’s home last April. While at the party, the source said he observed behavior consistent with the use of illegal drugs. The source traveled to Johnston’s residence in July. Through monitored and recorded calls before the meeting, the source agreed to deliver 75 MDMA pills to Johnston. MDMA is a purified form of the club drug Ecstasy. The exchange of money and MDMA took place in the kitchen of the residence, with Johnston receiving approximately 9.9 grams of MDMA, in the form of 37 pills, and 6.3 grams of powder MDMA. Johnston paid the source $1,300 for the drugs. Littleton Police Department Chief Doug Stephens lamented the impact of drugs on a respected member of the department. “Jeff was a good officer who dedicated 20 years to the Littleton community,” Stephens said. “His private-life choices have cost him greatly and should serve as an example of how drugs ruin lives.”

February 7, 2014

A girl’s journey of acceptance Someone, perhaps her mother, left her on a bench near a bus stop in Beijing. Because she had no identification records of any kind, doctors estimated she was about 3 years old based on weight and height. A woman found her and took her to a welfare institute — an orphanage — where she lived until an American family adopted her and brought her into their home. She was 4 1/2. Today, Wenxia Sweeney is 16. Straight, glossy hair the color of dark chocolate frames, a face with brown eyes that express emotion with transparent honesty, and a wide, easy smile that conveys contentment. But it hasn’t always been this way. And she knows, without a doubt, there will be times when it won’t always stay that way. Because judgment may leave, but it inevitably returns. For a person defined by two worlds — one clearly visible — it arrives in unexpected moments. “What kind of Asian are you?” The sudden question, blurted recently in a school hallway, came from a girl who didn’t know her. Pause. Shock. “Chinese.” “OK,” the girl said. Wenxia watched her walk away and thought: Ignorance, not meanness. But that’s the predicament. “I’m in some ways homeless,” she says. “On the outside, I’m not accepted here, but I’m accepted on the inside. In China, I’d be accepted on the outside — I’d look like an insider — but as soon as I opened my mouth, you could tell I’m not from there.” As soon as Wenxia begins to talk, you can tell she’s from here, an average American teenager who, as she puts it, goes to school, eats, sleeps and occasionally gets bad grades. At the same time, “everything else in my life is not average,” she says. “I am adopted

— that’s not average. … When I celebrate my birthday — that could be my actual birthday, but I don’t know. When I tell people my name, it’s kind of bittersweet because I don’t know my actual name that I was given at birth.” But she is certain about her family. “There’s not a doubt in my mind — these are my parents,” she says. “They’ve always been Mom and Dad.” Sharon Sweeney remembers the first time she and her husband, Tim, saw Wenxia. They were in the waiting room at the welfare institute, placing fingerprints onto paperwork, when Tim looked up and said, “There she is.” “She was so little — we didn’t expect her to be so little,” Sharon says. “And she was so frightened. It just kind of broke your heart.” She came home to a sister, Tim’s and Sharon’s biological child, who was one year older and fair-haired and fair-skinned like her parents. Children at school soon pointed out that Wenxia wasn’t. “I’ve never known what it’s like to live with a family that looks like me,” she says. But “it’s never really bugged me that I look different than my parents. I wouldn’t be who I am without them.” Throughout elementary and middle school, however, the way she looked generated other gestures and comments: Students who pulled their eyes back. Assumptions she was automatically smarter because she was Asian. Questions about whether she ate rice every day. “I felt bad because it was just my physical appearance,” Wenxia says. “They were judg-

ing me because of something I can’t change before they ever get to know me.” She didn’t understand prejudice. But the transition to high school was the most difficult. The words, uttered by a handful of students, wounded deeply. “Communist.” “Yellow.” “Small-eyed.” “Chink.” “Immigrant,” with the F-word attached. She didn’t say anything at first, she says, because she didn’t recognize it as bullying or racism. “Since I didn’t recognize the situation for what it was, I didn’t know how to protect or defend myself.” But she learned, with the support of her family and longtime counselor. “We’ve always tried to instill confidence in her as a person,” Sharon says. “She’s just great at internalizing the positive things that you say and the positive things you put out there for her.” Through all this and through her history classes, Wenxia has discovered she’s not been alone in her experience. Humanity’s flaw, she says, is we judge as soon as we see. “It’s not just Asian. It’s African-American. It’s Hispanic. It’s all different races. ... It’s always been a problem in this country,” dating back through the ages and various immigrant populations. And even though she’s never been prone to stereotyping or making jokes about a person’s ethnicity, “it makes me really think twice before I speak,” Wenxia says. “I have before thought things that were judgmental … so now I think twice about what I’m saying. I’m also more aware when other people are doing this kind of stuff verbally and I can tell them to knock it off.” Her message is simple: Learn acceptance. Wenxia is in a good place. She is more confident at a different high school this year. She has challenging academic classes. She has goals. She has a good

group of friends on whom she can depend. And as always, she has her family. “I know who I am and if someone wants to judge me for that … it’s not right, but it’s not on me.” She is learning Chinese. She wants to travel everywhere. But one day, she’d like to return to China, to discover the piece of her left behind, and possibly search for her parents, find the answer to why they gave her up. She wants to change the world, help people see their worth. Somehow. Her voice trembles just a bit. “Even if that means one person, even if I just change one person, that would mean the world to me.” Sharon often thinks about Wenxia’s mother in China. “I don’t know why her mom had to lose her in order for us to get her.” Emotion clouds her voice. “What a brave woman she was to let that child go. Taking your 3-yearold by the hand and leading her someplace and knowing you’ll probably never see her again. … That shows how much she loved her.” The details of that day are fuzzy in Wenxia’s mind. She remembers only she was never alone at the bus stop and someone’s hand held hers the entire time. That day, the day she was found, became her birthday. Wenxia’s right. That’s not your average birthday. It’s a particularly special day, a day worthy of great celebration for a little girl who would get that chance to change the world by standing up to intolerance and teaching us what she had learned.

IREA proposes policy changes Co-op works to improve customer relationships By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@coloradocommunitymedia.com IREA, the energy co-op that services much of Douglas County, may make some policy changes — ranging from changes meant to benefit customers with health issues who have difficulty paying bills — to imposing a fee for disconnect notices, to offering a rate discount for industrial users who move their operations into IREA’s territory. A list of proposed changes sent out in January to customers will be reviewed at the IREA board of directors’ March 4 meeting, said Michelle McAndrew, IREA’s manager of rates, regulations and power

supply. Customers with concerns need to file a written complain with IREA at least 15 days before that meeting. She said current policy for customers who have serious health issues — enough that without electricity it would be lifethreatening — allows the customer to provide a medical certificate from a physician. If approved, IREA gives the customer extra time to pay — a 60-day grace period, as well an additional 30-day extension, if needed. But the proposed policy would allow more than one medical certificate per year, allowing a customer to submit one after another as long as the bill’s balance was paid after each certificate. “It gives them time to resolve the situation,” McAndrew said. Another change for residential customers: Currently, if IREA has misread a

meter and not charged enough, to recoup that, it would bill the customer the additional amount over a period of time, not to exceed six months. The new policy, to make it fairer to the customer, would allow for a much longer time period. McAndrew said if, for example, they misread a customer’s meter for 24 months, the new policy would give the customer 24 months to pay. Another proposed change involves something not done before: requiring a deposit from new customers that haven’t established a previous good payment history with IREA. McAndrew said the deposit would be based on an estimate of 60-days usage. And the deposit would be returned with interest after 12 months of good payment history. Another proposed change is to add a $9.25 fee on disconnect notices. She said they find that many people use the disconnect notice as a reminder to pay — and that’s costly for IREA. She said in one month last year, they sent out more than 10,000 disconnect notices. She also said IREA doesn’t charge a late fee. “We don’t want to charge late fees. … We (know) times can be tough,” she said. Currently, they will send the secondmonth’s bill out. And if the customer doesn’t pay the overdue amount from the

first month’s bill within seven days, a disconnect notice is sent out. Sending that notice out costs IREA, and when the customer pays what’s due, it also costs IREA “to reverse the process and/or reconnect service,“ McAndrew said. Another efficiency measure being proposed: If a customer terminates IREA’s service and the final account has a credit balance of less than $5, that amount would only be refunded at the customer’s request — otherwise it would be donated to an agency that provides low-income energy assistance. For large commercial and industrial customers, there are a couple proposed changes. McAndrew said IREA would like to entice large companies to move into IREA’s territory — in part because companies like a data center have major power needs that generate significant revenue, which keeps rates down for everyone. One proposed change would be to offer the company a rate discount if it chooses to install its own power transformer — which is typically very large and expensive — and also agree to maintain it, saving IREA maintenance costs, McAndrew said. For more information, call McAndrew at 303-688-3110, ext. 5497.

NEWS IN A HURRY Car break-ins at Lifetime Fitness

A bulletin issued by Crimestoppers seeks the public’s help in identifying suspects in a series of car break-ins. The suspects, including two black males, one black female and one white female, have also been stealing the identities of their victims. The group is believed to be responsible for multiple trespasses in the Denver metro area since December, including vehicle break-ins at Lifetime Fitness near South Parker Road and E-470. They are also suspected of committing crimes elsewhere in Douglas County as well as Arapahoe County. The females being sought by police have been known to wear disguises when they use the victims’ credit cards. The suspects have been driving a silver sport utility vehicle.

On Feb. 12, officers from the Parker Police Department and community members will come together in an “informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships and drink coffee,” the department says. The event is from 7 to 9 a.m. Feb. 12, at Kunjani Coffee, 10009 N. Jordan Road. The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public occur during emergencies or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community and some may feel that “officers are unapproachable on the

street,” the Parker police said in a press release. “Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-onone interaction.” Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by the United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Policing Services. Similar events are being held across the country, as local police departments strive to make lasting connections with the communities they serve.

Opening on the fair board Applications are due by March 7 for an opening on the Douglas County Fair Board of Directors. Board members oversee the annual Douglas County Fair & Rodeo, organizing marketing, sponsorship, 4-H support, livestock and horse shows, entertainment and rodeos.

opinions / yours and ours

‘Smoke made with the fume of sighs’ I feel it in my fingers. I feel it in my toes. When I was a youngster at Burns Park Elementary in Ann Arbor, Mich., each row in my classroom had its own decorated box on Valentine’s Day. Since my artistic knacks were showing even then, I always decorated the box for our row. There was a slot in the top. The box would sit there for a few days before Feb. 14. We dropped in homemade and Hallmark valentines, and sometimes we dropped them in when no one was watching. I was just beginning to notice that girls were exquisite little assemblies of DNA. Audrey in particular. Near the end of the day on Feb. 14, the teacher asked us to open the boxes and hand out the valentines. I always had my share, but some kids didn’t. Some girls and boys had more than their share, and some didn’t have any, and that bothered me. So in the following years, I created valentines for everyone in the class. The look on Emily’s face made me

do it. Emily wasn’t very cute, and cute is everything in life. I made sure that Emily received at least one valentine. I spent a little more time on hers than I did on the others, and it paid off. Even though I didn’t sign it, I think she knew who drew it. Her smile was unforgettable. I am in love every day of the year, and I give Jennifer a little valentine of some kind every time she comes over. You see, love isn’t an assignment on one day in February. “St. Valentine’s Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus,” according to

Wikipedia. “The most popular martyrology associated with Saint Valentine was that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers, who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire.” Centuries later, Emily came up empty handed, when Feb. 14 developed into a celebration of romantic love. Humbug. On the day after Christmas, grocery stores pulled all of their Christmas items and replaced them with shelves full of hearts and chocolates. I cringed. Men stand in front of the cards and try to figure out which ghostwriter wrote something that they would say if they were capable of it. It is the bottom rung of romance. I guess if it’s your first year together, it might be OK. After that, buddy, you should let it show all the time. There are always unexpected consequences. Feb. 14 is the No. 1 day for private detectives, and I think that you can guess why. The wife gets a card, the mistress gets a necklace, and the wife hires a private eye.

If your mailbox is empty on Feb. 14, and you attach some sentiment to it, I’m your man. Maybe I can make a small difference. Robert Frost said, “Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.” But sometimes there are no takers. What then? Start with this. It always has to start with this. Love yourself. If you don’t love yourself, you can’t expect someone else to love you. A fortune teller told me that. Here’s another thought. Maybe loving someone isn’t necessary, but loving something is. Music, art, the heartbeat at my feet. They all do it for me. Jennifer and I add up to 113 years, but we are as goofy together as teenagers, and love manages to wipe away the years. Shakespeare said, “Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.” Happy Valentine’s Day from Emily and me. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

What’s in it for me?

Finally, a farm bill Congress, after months of prolonged bickering turned into years of unnecessary gridlock, finally passed a full, longterm farm bill. That means strengthened conservation programs, additional resources for managing our forests, funding for rural communities, improvements for rural energy efficiency, and needed stability for our farmers and ranchers. During the last several years we’ve heard one unified message from Colorado’s rural communities — give us certainty. From Fox Ranch in Joes to Talbott Farms in Palisade, our rural communities wanted to know what was taking Congress so long. The Senate was actually able to pass a bipartisan version of the bill as early as June 2012. But unfortunately, with that bill lodged in the House of Representatives, significant farm programs were allowed to expire in October. After muddling through a short-term extension, the House finally acted and both bodies and parties came together to work out the differences to agree on a final bill. While not perfect, the bill is the product of bipartisan, principled, and practical compromise. It decreases waste by ending the days of automatically issuing direct payments to farmers regardless of their need and helps Colorado producers hedge risk by strengthening crop insurance. The bill also improves farmers’ ability to export goods overseas, which will help continue Colorado’s record-setting pace in agriculture exports, and establishes a competitive grant program to support animal science research on priorities like food security. It also includes strategic investments in other growing industries such as organics — which is creating jobs at a rate of four times the national average — and energy pro-

grams, which are booming in rural parts of our state. The farm bill is not just important for our farmers and ranchers. It contains provisions that incent more opportunities for conservation easements and other ways to place more land in conservation. It upgrades the Healthy Forest Restoration Act of 2003 to prioritize treatments of national forest lands that have been devastated by insect outbreaks like the beetle kill. The bill also provides funding for USDA rural development loans and grants, which have helped countless businesses in rural Colorado open their doors or make needed expansions and improvements. One of our greatest accomplishments for Colorado communities in the farm bill is the restoration of the Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program. PILT is designed to offset the loss of property taxes resulting from large tracts of federal land within county boundaries by providing federal payments to local governments. Colorado receives more PILT funding than all but four other states in the country. On the farm bill conference committee, we worked to include an extension of PILT in the final bill after it was omitted from the recent government funding measure. This farm bill process has been a long one, and I would like to thank all of the Bennet continues on Page 11

Have you ever heard of that radio station, WIIFM? You know the one that we seem to be most tuned into, “What’s in it for me?” Many of us, if not all of us are motivated or have been motivated by this concept at some point in our lives. And unfortunately, there are some people who are only motivated by this belief system. The good news is that there are many people who listen to another radio station, WCIDFY, “What can I do for you?” These people aren’t concerned about what they get out of it, they are truly just motivated to help out whoever they can, whenever they can, and wherever they can. They aren’t looking for any trade-offs or “I’ll scratch your back if you’ll scratch mine” type of reward or barter, they are simply giving from an attitude of gratitude. As a people our differences are what make life interesting and each encounter we share unique. The person who is wired with the belief system that there must be reciprocity in all situations isn’t necessarily wrong. And the person who operates out of a pure altruistic philosophy is not always necessarily right. Could it be that there really is no right or wrong, and that the whole idea of WIIFM or WCIDFY are just two different frequencies that we tune into based on who we are or what is happening in our lives at that moment? The salesperson who is motivated only

by a commission check will absolutely only spend time with customers or prospects where there is a high degree of confidence that the amount of time invested will yield a bigger return in commissions. Yet there are other sales people who focus on solving problems for customers, helping their clients find the right solution and are driven by their clients success not their own income. The interesting thing is this, when I interview sales people and business professionals from many industries, it is the sales person in the latter category that generates more income consistently over time. They are tuned into WCIDFY, “What can I do for you?” It’s not just sales professionals, what would all of our relationships be like if we changed our thinking and tuned into a new radio station, moving away from WIIFM to WCIDFY? I know it’s hard for some people to get their head around the concept of doing something, anything,

Effort to stem energy mandates fails Bills mark third attempt to undo new rural energy standards this session By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Attempts to scale back implementation of increased rural renewable energy mandates suffered another set of defeats at the Capitol this week. Two Republican-sponsored bills that would have either lowered the bar on new energy standards on rural electric providers or that would have pushed back the implementation start date failed in separate legislative committees. New standards for rural electric providers will require that they generate 20 percent of their energy through renewable sources. The mandate is scheduled to take effect in 2020. Three GOP-backed bills that sought to undo those new standards have already been introduced this session, a year removed from the contentious passage of Senate Bill 252,

which doubled the former renewable energy standard of 10 percent. But those efforts have failed, most recently as Jan. 30 when the House Transportation and Energy Committee killed a bill that sought to reduce the energy mandate to 15 percent. Rep. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction, the bill sponsor, told committee members that the new standards are too high and they will hurt rural economies. “Has our policy been misdirected?” Scott said. “Are we putting too much pressure on different types of energy-related sectors?” Diana Orf of the Colorado Mining Association, speaking in support of Scott’s measure, said that last year’s Senate Bill 252 was passed “very hastily” and that the new standard “needs a second look.” “We believe the standard can be achieved, but it needs more time,” Orf said. Moffat County Commissioner John Kinkaid was more direct in his criticism of SB252, calling it a job killer for coal mining and power production employers in rural parts of the state. “I’m here today to say that I hope that the

war on rural Colorado is over and that we can have a spirit of bipartisanship,” Kinkaid said. Scott’s bill was met with opposition by SB 252 supporters who said that Colorado is the home to great wind and solar energy resources, that those industries are creating new jobs here, and that the new standards will be a boon for new energy jobs here. “Coloradans are with us on this issue,” said Kim Stephens of Environment Colorado, an environmental advocacy group. “They want more clean, renewable energy.” The Democrat-led committee killed Scott’s measure following a party-line vote of 8-5. The day before Scott’s measure died, Rep. Kathleen Conti’s bill that sought to delay the implementation of the new standards until 2025 suffered the same fate. “We’re really not seeking to change much, but simply extend the deadline that was given,” Conti, a Littleton Republican, told the same committee. Rep. Polly Lawrence, a Douglas County Republican, a supporter of Conti’s bill, said that even though Senate Bill 252 puts a 2 percent cap on energy rate hikes, any hikes

would be a burden on some living in rural parts of the state. “I know 2 percent doesn’t sound like much, but when you have people on fixed incomes who are struggling to coming out of this recession, 2 percent is a lot,” Lawrence said. Democrats on the committee believe the new standards will work. They also rejected a long-held Republican argument that last year’s passage of SB 252 was rushed through the Legislative process without enough input from rural Coloradans. “People were brought into the process and negotiations were long and hard,” said Rep. Cherilyn Peniston, D-Westminster. “I just didn’t want the public to be left with the idea that the bill was drafted without participation because I believe that would be a misconception.” That bill also died following a party-line vote of 8-5. The bills became the third effort seeking to undo to the new energy mandate standard to fail this session. On Jan. 15, a Senate committee killed a bill that sought an all-out repeal of the new standards.

Investigation on alleged school financial discrepancy ongoing Allegations center on missing cash paid for salvaged DCSD vehicles By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and Douglas County School District both confirmed Jan. 31 that an investigation is underway surrounding a discrepancy within the district’s transportation department. Neither agency will say much beyond that, however, both citing the investigation’s incomplete status.

for someone else and not receive something back in return. We live in a very competitive, dog-eat-dog, rat race of a society sometimes where it seems easier to barter, negotiate, and cover our backsides, remaining “self” focused instead of “others” focused. The thinking is this, “If I am looking out for everyone else, who is watching out for me?” Well I am a believer of the “What can I do for you?” philosophy. And as a believer of this philosophy I am never worried about who is watching out for me as I fully expect that I will watch out for myself and just hold myself accountable for what happens to me in my life.

A report from Denver’s 7News alleges about $11,000 is missing from the department, money reportedly given as cash in exchange for salvaging outdated district vehicles that was not deposited into school coffers. 7News says its investigation prompted the sheriff’s office to open its own case on the issue, but DCSD says it had turned the matter over to authorities before the station learned about it. “The Douglas County School District discovered a discrepancy within the transportation department account,” states an email sent by DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans to Colorado Community Media. “The district immediately turned the mat-

ter over to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office for investigation. “After our discovery, Channel 7 learned of the investigation and aired a story about this matter (Jan 30). Because this is an open investigation, we are unable to provide any further comment. We take the stewardship of taxpayer dollars very seriously and are cooperating fully with the investigation.” Douglas County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Hanavan said the case is new, but he does not know how the discrepancy came to light. “I can confirm we opened up an investigation,” he said. “But we are very much in the infancy of the investigation and don’t have a lot of details. No one’s been charged.

It’s still very much in the beginning.” 7News said their investigation began three months ago, and revealed that more than a dozen vehicles were crushed at a Brighton salvage yard in exchange for cash. Former DCSD transportation director Paul Balon retired from the district in December 2013 after an earlier 7News story showed that he allegedly used district funds to purchase tax-exempt Sam’s Club cards for his wife and others. DCSD Chief Operations Officer Bill Moffitt, who oversees the transportation department, recently announced his retirement. He has worked for the district for more than 30 years.

on farms, fighting fires, or building businesses on Main Street. The agriculture industry adds $40 billion to our economy annually and is essential to our state’s prosperity. Colorado producers and rural communities have been faced with unprecedented obstacles in the last few years, including severe drought in the southeast, historic levels of flooding on the Front Range, and devastating fires throughout the state. It’s about time we got this done for their sake. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

But a strange thing happens and has happened throughout my life. I have found that the more that I do for others, and the more I give of myself for causes greater than my own, the more I find others are here for me too and that more good things happen in my life. I don’t expect it, I don’t look to serve in order to receive anything in return, it just happens. How about you, are you more tuned into the WIIFM radio, or have you experienced the benefits of listening in on the WCIDFY station? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we live our lives to help others, with no expectation of anything in return, it truly will be a better than good week.

Woman pleads guilty to shooting Victim unhappy about 8-year sentence By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A woman arrested for shooting a man in her Parker home pleaded guilty to an assault charge and will serve eight years in prison. Wendy Brown initially faced charges of attempted first-degree murder, felony kidnapping and first-degree assault against an at-risk victim stemming from an incident

in her home in Clarke Farms on New Year’s Eve 2012. She pleaded not guilty to the charges last April, but reached a plea agreement with prosecutors Jan. 29, less than one week before she was set to stand trial. Brown pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree assault with intent to cause serious bodily injury, a class 4 felony, and was subsequently sentenced by Douglas County District Court Judge Paul A. King. Brown, a former domestic violence counselor for the Parker Police Department, told investigators that she fired at Jerry Diesel in self-defense. The nature of Brown’s relationship with Diesel is unclear; a gag order has prevented public access to court documents since her arrest.

When reached by phone Jan. 31, Brown’s public defender, Ara Ohanian, said he was not at liberty to comment on the plea deal, but said Brown is eager to tell her side of the story. Brown will remain in the Douglas County Detentions Center until she is assigned to a Colorado Department of Corrections facility. Parker police officers swarmed the home on Hastings Avenue after emergency dispatchers received a call of a burglary in progress with possible shots fired. During a hearing last summer, members of the Parker police testified about spontaneous statements from Brown after her arrest, including one about a check for $6,000 that Diesel allegedly tore up in front of Brown

immediately before the shooting. Diesel suffered wounds to the back. Diesel blasted the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office for its handling of the case, saying prosecutors “caved.” He says he was not consulted about the plea deal, as is standard with victims of violent crime, until after it was offered. Diesel says if the roles were reversed, a man would not have gotten off so lightly. A conviction for felony kidnapping can result in a life sentence. “This was an easy way to put a mark in their book of wins,” Diesel said about the district attorney’s office. There was no response to a request for comment from the lead prosecutor on the case or the District Attorney’s office.

Widening to limit congestion Projects Stretch of Hess Road put on hold in 2008 By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Construction is beginning on a long-awaited road project on the south end of Parker. The widening of Hess Road between Motsenbocker Road and Nate Drive was put on hold in 2008 because of a lack of funding during the economic downturn. With ever-increasing traffic demands, the roadwork is way overdue, but a healthier revenue forecast has put it back on the agenda. An average of 15,000 vehicles travel along the targeted stretch of Hess Road each day, 3,000 more than the typical threshold for a two-lane road, said Chris Hudson, streets, traffic and capital improvement plan manager for the Parker Public Works Depart-

ment. More than 80 percent of the funding for the $4.8-million project is going toward the costly installation of a section of bridge over Cherry Creek. Crews began erosion control measures in late January and large cranes will arrive at the site this month to drill into the bedrock that will serve as the foundation for caissons that support the bridge. The town hired Hamon Contractors, the same company that built the existing two lanes that span Cherry Creek. The project is scheduled for completion in November, which is good news for drivers who have become frustrated with bottleneck congestion during peak travel times. The town has received several complaints from motorists who take the “commuter route” daily, Hudson said. “In morning at 8 a.m., you would be amazed at how busy the road is,” said Hudson, who pointed out that commuters from Elbert County, Franktown and eastern Douglas County

funnel onto the road to get to and from the Denver metro area. Piece by piece, Parker’s public works department has put together Hess Road, most recently widening it from two to four lanes between Motsenbocker Road and the town’s western boundary near Chambers Road. Douglas County also opened a stretch of Hess Road that connects with Interstate 25 at the Castle Pines North interchange. The Town of Parker is planning to landscape the medians sometime in 2015. Although the new piece of roadway will be less than a quarter-mile long, there will be lane closures during the spring and summer months. Hess Road will be down to one lane at times, but much of the closures will occur outside of periods of heavy traffic. For more information on this and other road projects in the town, call the public works department at 303840-9546.

Continued from Page 1

If approved, annual debt payments will range between $1.6 million and $1.7 million. A large portion will come from the town’s general fund, while the remainder will be pulled from the parks and recreation fund and stormwater utility fund. Interest on the COPs will be exempt from federal and Colorado state income tax. Approximately $13.5 million of the $21 million in COPs will be used to construct a new public works facility on the northwest corner of Hess Road and Tammy Lane. The building will house the streets, traffic and stormwater departments. Expansion of the existing public works facility on Motsenbocker Road was not possible because of the anticipated expansion of uses at Salisbury Park. Construction of the new, 31,600 square-foot building will cost a total of $16 million; the remaining $2.5 million will be covered by Parker and Douglas County. Assuming the town’s desired timeline stays intact, the facility will open in May 2015. About $7 million will enable to town to add roughly 24,600 square feet to the existing Parker Recreation Center; 8,000 square feet of the facility will be renovated. New features of the construction include an indoor leisure pool with zero-depth entry, a waterslide and a half gymnasium.

Hickenlooper addresses health Governor gives seventh annual speech to Colorado Rotarians By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Expanded Medicaid and mentalhealth programs, strident environmental protections, a successful insurance exchange, a rapidly recovering economy and an influx of young people are converging to make Colorado the eighthhealthiest state in the nation, according to the United Health Foundation. “I’m proud of whatever we’re doing for Colorado, but it’s always about tomorrow,” Gov. John Hicklenlooper told a full house of Rotarians from around the state on Jan. 24 at the seventh annual State of the State Address to Rotarians. The event, held in the convention center at the Denver Marriott Tech Center, focused on a topic near and dear to Rotarians’ hearts: health.



Locally, the service clubs support things like free clinics, Shots for Tots and Project CURE. Internationally, Rotary has spent millions eradicating polio in every country in the world except for Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan, where efforts are ongoing. During his speech, Hickenlooper personally pledged $1,000 to support that work. Referencing the state’s recent tragic shootings, the governor took time to discuss advances in mental-health care. He spoke of a bill he signed last year that creates a “behavioral-health crisis-response system” to include things like mobile and walk-in clinics, expanded residential care, a 24-hour hotline, a public-awareness campaign, and outreach through schools — all available regardless of a person’s ability to pay. “Guns are only part of the puzzle,” he said. Asked about the outcry against proposed gun-control measures last year,

Hickenlooper acknowledged that his team didn’t carefully consider attitudes in some areas of the state. “We didn’t do a good enough job of going out and listening to rural Colorado,” he said. “We’re doing that now. And it’s no surprise, they’ve got some pretty good ideas.” Lots of folks in the audience also had questions about Hickenlooper how legalized marijuana will affect not just the health but the reputation of Colorado. The measure was voted into law by the people over his objections, he notes, and now the question is how to manage what he calls the “greatest social experiment of the century.” Hickenlooper hired the founder of Noodles and Company, Aaron Kennedy, as the state’s first marketing director last summer, and hopes the tourism industry will keep sending out positive,

family-friendly messages about Colorado. But he doesn’t think daily life for Coloradoans will change much. “The people who smoke pot, who were buying it illegally, are now going to buy it legally,” he said. “The people who don’t smoke pot aren’t going to start.” He said he’d sent a letter to the White House to express disagreement with President Obama’s recent remark that pot isn’t as bad as alcohol. “It’s not as bad as heroin, but should it be legal? I voted against it,” he said. Going forward, Hickenlooper said he envisions the business community stepping up in many ways to further the physical, mental, fiscal and environmental health of the community. “Business has to be a partner in this conversation,” he said. “Business is always going to be more innovative and rapid than government.”

School district security processes evolve Lessons from Arapahoe, other tragedies prompt changes

“Our priority is going to be on the kids and making sure those buildings are taken care of first,” Barber said, referring to safety procedures including building lockdowns and secured perimeters. There also is a clear line between informing parents and releasing potentially harmful information. “It’s very clear the faster you can lock down the better,” Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said. “The faster law enforcement can respond, the better. (But) “We don’t want the bad guys to know our evacuation sites, how long it takes to roll our buses or contact our parents. We prepare as if it will happen but we hope that it never does.” DCSD’s security, perhaps most wellknown for the marshal program that circulates armed law enforcement officers through all schools twice daily, takes a multi-faceted approach. “We believe not one single strategy will keep our kids safe,” Moffitt said. Enhancements include capital improvements like added cameras, improved exterior doors and established safe areas, as well as ongoing training and intervention programs. District staff also is emphasizing the relationship between physical and psychological health. “We understand there is a relationship and a crossover,” Moffitt said. In August 2013, DCSD launched its marshal program in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. Officers from the Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Parker police departments, as well as the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, now make random, twice-daily visits to the district’s elementary and middle schools. The annual program cost, which reimburses the departments for the officers’ time, is about $674,000. Each of Douglas County’s nine high schools also is assigned an armed, uniformed school resource officer.

Douglas County School District’s security plan constantly changes. In the wake of the Arapahoe High School tragedy, district leaders said they are making further adjustments to a system they already believe is sound, but never will be concrete. “Safety is not an event,” said DCSD chief operations officer Bill Moffitt. “It’s a process of continuous improvement. I think there are things we’ve already learned in Littleton we could deploy quickly, and there are other things I think deserve study with our law enforcement partners.” Near the top of the list are adjustments to district communications technology, which was overwhelmed by heavy traffic after the Dec. 13 Arapahoe High School shooting that ultimately left two students dead. Emails about DCSD’s response that were supposed to reach parents shortly after the incident arrived three or more hours later, eliciting a flood of complaints. “That particular incident highlighted and brought forward some concerns about technology and how quickly we could get that information out there,” internal communications officer Randy Barber said during a security update presented at the Jan. 21 board meeting. “We’ll be doing testing of these systems as we go forward on a quarterly basis. That’s not something we’ve done in the past.” In addition to emails, parent notifications are sent by voicemail and text, and posted on DCSD’s website, Facebook and Twitter pages. While parent notification is important, school leaders said it’s not their first priority in an emergency.

Museum brings Africa to Garden & Home show

The Wildlife Experience creates entry garden at convention center

Papa Manning to speak in Denver

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com

he Wildlife Experience is bringing the spirit of Africa to the 55th Annual Colorado Garden & Home Show. The interactive museum, a valued Douglas County asset since 2002, is hoping to extend its reach by introducing the thousands of visitors passing through the doors of the Colorado Convention Center Feb. 15-23 to its “Wild Africa” exhibit. Created specifically for the Colorado Garden & Home Show, the exhibit will include 30 carefully-arranged taxidermy animals that have been donated to the nonprofit museum’s personal collection over the years. Organizers assembled the many Africa-oriented pieces into one exhibit that balances dangerous predators like lions and leopards with docile herbivores like springboks, said Connie Mohrman, exhibits manager for The Wildlife Experience. The so-called “welcome garden” offers a relaxing place for visitors to get away from the crowds and booths. It also is intended to educate; each “specimen” set up by The Wildlife Experience includes fun facts about each animal, Mohrman said. The stuffed creatures will be surrounded by lush garden plants, elegant water features and elevated terraces. Staged scenes show a waterhole gathering, an epic battle and serene grazing. Seven bronze sculptures depict chimpanzees demonstrating their role within the gath-

Jim Fricke, executive director of Colorado Garden Foundation, said he expects the “Wild Africa” exhibit to “transport the public into a life-like African experience like they have never experienced before.” It is the first time The Wildlife Experi-

ence has been involved in the Colorado Garden & Home Show, and the museum is making the best of the opportunity. “Exposure is definitely the biggest benefit. It draws so many people,” she said. “They can learn about where we are and we’ll have volunteers there and employees in booths talking about our programs.”

Classic fairy tale told in dance Cinderella springs to life on Denver stage By Sonya Ellingboe

Colorado Ballet presents “Cinderella,” choreographed by Ben Stevenson. This photo is of principal dancer Maria Mosina in the role in an earlier performance. Photo courtesy of David Andrews

Happily ever after… The tale of Cinderella is very much embedded into our collective cultural baggage — especially those of us who were, or who have lived among, princesses. Seeing Cinderella, her mean stepmother and stepsisters and, of course, the charming prince, puts one into a satisfying fantasy world for a couple of hours. And seeing the characters portrayed by beautiful dancers is even better. Colorado Ballet presents the full-length ballet, with choreography by Ben Stevenson, O.B.E. and music by Sergei Prokofiev, Feb. 14-23 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Performing Arts Complex. “Cinderella” will have live accompaniment by the Colorado Ballet Orchestra. The story of the poor young woman, subjected to ongoing hassle by her stepsisters, is familiar — complete with the glass slipper, helpful fairy godmother and romantic ball. It has humorous moments — especially with those ill-tempered sisters. The performance is suitable for ages 5 and up, according to Colorado Ballet Artistic Director Gil Boggs and is suggested as an appropriate Valentine outing for kids or adults.

Choreographer Ben Stevenson, now at the helm of the Texas Ballet (Dallas, Fort Worth), was born and trained in Great Britain and has had such a distinguished career that he Colorado Ballet will perform was awarded “Cinderella” from Feb. 15-23 at the Order of the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, the British EmDenver Performing Arts Compire by Queen plex.

Ticket prices range from $25 peared with to $155: 303-837-8888, ext. 2, Sadler’s Wells or www.ColoradoBallet.org. Royal Ballet and as a principal dancer with the English National Ballet. He also staged his first highly successful production of “Sleeping Beauty” with Margot Fonteyn in 1968 with the English National Ballet. He first choreographed “Cinderella” in 1970 for the National Ballet in Washington D.C. and in 1976 was appointed artistic director of the Houston Ballet, where he spent the next 27 years and choreographed a number of full length works. In 2003, he assumed leadership of the Texas Ballet Company. Colorado Ballet, in its 53rd season, was established by Denver dance teachers Lillian Covillo and Freidann Parker and while it primarily performs at the Ellie, it will be seen at Lone Tree Arts Center this spring with its annual program of shorter, more contemporary works.

IF YOU GO

Jewish Family Service of Colorado welcomes Archie Manning, football star and legend in life, as the speaker for its 10th annual JFS Executive Luncheon fundraiser on April 30. The luncheon will be held at the Grand Hyatt Denver, 1750 Welton Street. Doors open at 11:30 a.m., and the program will start at noon. Tickets are $150 and sponsorship packages start at $1,500. For more information or for tickets, contact Dawn Richard at 720-248-4605 or go to www. jewishfamilyservice.org/luncheon. All proceeds from the event will help support programs of JFS, including mental health counseling, senior and adult in-home care, disability and employment services, and family safety net services. Founded in Denver in 1872, JFS is a nonprofit community agency serving people regardless of age, race, faith, or income. When people think of Archie Manning, football immediately comes to mind. But Manning has inspired many with his warm personality, humor, drive, and commitment to family and community. Manning and his wife, Olivia, have three sons, Cooper, Peyton and Eli. Archie and Olivia raised their sons with the philosophy that, “It’s the right thing to do, so do the right thing.” The result, which Archie and Denver Broncos’ quarterback Peyton capture so clearly, is a tribute to the values that Americans hold dear: work hard, stand up for what you believe in, treat each person with respect, and be grateful for what you have and for what you have achieved. A former Pro Bowl quarterback and NFL MVP, Manning enjoyed a fabled football career, beginning at the University of Mississippi where he was named an AllAmerican and is the only Ole Miss player to have his number retired. He was elected to the 50-Year All-South Team (1940-90), named one of the Top 25 Athletes of the Century in Louisiana, and he and his son, Peyton, were named among the 100 alltime greatest college football players. In 1971, Manning was the second player chosen in the NFL draft and the No. 1 draft choice of the New Orleans Saints. He set Saints’ passing records, played in two Pro Bowls and was named the NFL Most Valuable Player in 1978. His prowess on the field and his sterling character have earned him as many awards as he scored touchdowns. Archie Manning concluded his 15-year NFL career in 1985. Manning since has devoted his life to his family and to causes that he believes in, supporting the Special Olympics, Boy Scouts of America, The Salvation Army, and the United Way, among others.

Cupcakes go gourmet in Lone Tree shop Smallcakes offers sweet treats in array of flavors By Jane Reuter

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com As owner of the recently opened Lone Tree Smallcakes, Heidi Hamilton is in the business of making people smile. “People are happier when they eat,” said Hamilton, who co-owns the gourmet cupcake shop with her husband Darren. And that makes Hamilton’s work a piece of (cup) cake. The Castle Rock mother spends her mornings baking cupcakes and also helps serve them to customers. “This doesn’t feel like work,”

she said. “It always feels like Saturday.” Smallcakes offers 120 flavors of cupcakes, with 12 varieties baked fresh each day. Flavors range from unusual — like maple bacon and chai tea — to the more traditional chocolate cream and pink vanilla. The cakes range in size from mini to large, with the most popular large size priced at $3.25 apiece. “They’re big — twice as big as a cupcake you’d make at home,” Hamilton said. The colorfully frosted cupcakes are popular choices for birthday parties and weddings. And unlike a traditional cake, Hamilton said, “You can mix and match so everyone can get what they want.” The business is a happy surprise for the Hamilton, who wasn’t planning to open a cupcake franchise. But in researching the ideal franchise, Smallcakes repeat-

edly popped onto her computer screen. Hamilton was seduced not only by its sugary appeal, but the franchise’s rapid growth. Franchise founder Jeff Martin, 35, and his wife Brandy opened the first Smallcakes in Kansas City in 2009. The franchise now includes almost 60 shops in 13 states. The Lone Tree store is Colorado’s only Smallcakes. So far. “We hope to expand to other locations,” Hamilton said. Smallcakes is among several national cupcakes chains. The cupcake craze was sparked in 2000 by a “Sex and the City” episode in which two of the main characters chatted over gourmet cupcakes. The 2010 debut of the Food Network show “Cupcake Wars” further fueled the single-serving dessert’s popularity. Smallcakes’ founder Martin competed during three episodes of the show.

“Music has and always will bring happiness to people and holds the power to lift our minds away from daily stresses,” says local music specialist Linda Holcombe. Recognizing that there have been cutbacks in music programs in some Douglas County elementary grades, Holcombe proposes to start Douglas County Singers for children in grades 1 to 6, with a first rehearsal planned for Feb. 13. Holcombe, now retired after 25 years of teaching music to children at all levels, including in Douglas County, is currently the music director at Christ Lutheran Church on South Broadway in Highlands

Ranch, where she will hold rehearsals and programs of the newly formed choirs. Eventually, she will hope to take additional performances out into the community, she said. There will be two choirs, limited to 50 children each: a Primary Choir for grades 1 to 3 and Intermediate Choir for grades 4 to 6. Both will meet on Thursday afternoons from 4:30 to 5:15 p.m. and 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. There will be no auditions, Holcombe said, stating that the choirs are open to anyone who wants to try. “Kids can learn about the world, gain social skills and even improve math abilities,” she said. “That all happens through music. … The goal is to welcome all regardless of experience.” The non-profit organization hopes to make participation affordable and acces-

sible for all families, eventually gaining some community sponsorships. It will offer a wide variety of music: jazz, Broadway, classics and standards — “it’s important to have broad exposures.” The first performance will be June 1, and according to Holcombe, summer rehearsals are a question at this point, but a short-term camp is a possibility. Definitely, spring and fall sessions are planned, she said. Tuition will be $185 for Primary Choir and $215 for Intermediate, which includes all expenses, such as an accompanist, a director, music library and performance expenses. “We hope to fill a void,” Holcombe said.

Lutheran girls roll over top 3A opponent Lions ranked No. 1 in Class 2A poll By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Chandler Sturms, one of Lutheran’s stalwart guards, was whistled for her second foul 56 seconds into the Jan. 28 3A/2A Metro League game against Peak to Peak in the Lions’ den. She watched most of the first half from the bench but wasn’t worried because she knew the Lions had plenty of depth to survive her foul problem. Lutheran, which climbed to the No. 1 ranking in the Class 2A CHSAANow.com poll, rolled to a 55-31 victory over Peak to Peak (Lafayette) which entered the contest as the state’s fifth-ranked Class 3A team. “There was not really any doubt because as a team we’ve been working together really hard,” said Sturms. “With our defense and the bench I knew they could do it. So I was not too worried. “Coach has put me in a lot of situations in practice where I have to work on not fouling. I have to learn to control it a little bit.” Lutheran, using a pressing defense that forced the Pumas into 17 turnovers, put the game out of reach of the visitors in the second half. The Lions extended their seven-point halftime lead to 13 points after three quarters and outscored Peak to Peak 15-0 in the first 5:59 of the fourth period. “We talked at halftime that towards the end of the second quarter we started to see a little bit of wear and tear showing on the other side,” said Lutheran coach Mark Duitsman. “We knew that if we could come out, play smart without getting into foul trouble, maintain the pressure to start the third quarter that it had the potential to blow open and it did.”

Lutheran’s Cara Thomas, left, guards Jefferson Academy’s Kristi Nagai Jan. 22 at Jefferson Academy High School. Thomas led the Lions with 19 points in the team’s 49-46 victory. Photo by Kate Ferraro Duitsman’s Lions moved to 12-1 and 6-1 against Class 3A teams in the Metro following a 64-43 win over Faith Christian. The Lions only loss was a 56-40 setback to top-ranked 3A team Holy Family earlier in the year. And the Lions could be getting even stronger with the recent additions of three players. Lexi Knutson, a 5-foot-10 sophomore transfer from Bishop Machebeuf, and 6-0 junior Cara Thomas, a transfer from Highlands Ranch, have played just three games

after becoming eligible. Taylor Stuckey, a 5-7 sophomore, made her season debut against Peak to Peak after coming back from knee surgery. “We’re getting used to our lineup,” Duitsman said. “We have two players who just became eligible. It was the third game for Lexi and Cara. This was the first game back for Taylor Stuckey from a yearlong ACL recovery and she got out there a little bit. “We’re still trying to figure out rota-

tions. So I want to give all the girls credit because they are being asked to do different things now that we are eligible and a little healthier. They are showing a lot of maturing by doing whatever they need to do.” Lutheran, a team loaded with underclass players, came up with 11 steals, dished out 15 assists and showed plenty of balance in its offensive attack. Kaleigh Paplow, a 5-9 junior, led the way with 13 points, five rebounds, five assists and four steals. Sophomore guard Kristen Vigil has 11 points while Sturms, a 5-8 junior, scored all her eight points in the second half. And, she finished the games with only two fouls. Knutson and Thomas, who both started, each had six points. “We do play a lot of players,” acknowledged Duitsman. “It’s different for us because the last couple years we had depth at the guard spot and we still do. This year’s depth is really inside. “We enjoy playing defense but we can get better. I was pleased with the effort against Peak to Peak defensively. I thought there were a lot of extra passes. Even off of those quick steals there was that look for the extra pass. When this team does that, really good things are going to happen.” Duitsman and the Lions are trying to take their No. 1 ranking in stride. “We have perspective because we’ve done the undefeated season thing and got knocked out,” he said. “We’ve been ranked high before and come up short. Certainly you enjoy people giving you that kind of respect but it doesn’t mean anything. “What it does is motivate us to stay humble, stay focused and we’re being very proactive about worrying about the process and not about the rankings.” In 2011 the Lions were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Class 2A playoffs. Lutheran lost in the 2012 state championship game and last season lost in the state semifinals, but won the third place game.

Chaparral, ponderosa tangle on hardwood Wolverines improve to 4-1 in Continental with crosstown win By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Chaparral’s sub-.500 boys basketball record is a little deceiving. Earlier this season the Wolverines lost eight consecutive games, four in the Mission Prep Christmas Classic and three others to Top 10 Colorado teams, and their won-lost record dipped to 3-10. However, Chaparral is starting to play good basketball and the Wolverines’ 5745 Continental League win over Ponderosa on Jan. 31 marked the team’s fourth straight victory. Chaparral boasted a 4-1 league mark heading into a Feb. 4 game at Rock Canyon and a Feb. 6 date at home with Douglas County. “It’s a little different group out there now,” admitted coach Rob Johnson. “We have everybody healthy except for (Brandon) Malone. With (Chris) Moody back in our rotation it allows (Hayden) Dalton and Jake Holtzmann to get a little more rest. “With them all in there now we have guys that are 6-6 or bigger that can play. We’ve added that extra guy that has size and can play that really helps our rotation and effectiveness on the floor.” Holtzmann, a 6-foot-6 junior, has been the Wolverines leading scorer all season and is averaging 16.2 points a game. Moody, a 6-6 junior, has played four games since returning from ankle surgery and a problem with his toe. The 6-7 Dalton, who was sidelined for four games, leads the team in rebounding and is scoring 9.5 ppg.

“We’re tons better,” said Holtzmann. “Our chemistry has really come together, we’re playing for each other now. We struggled a little bit early in the year but we’ve got guys back that were injured. We’re playing like we know we can play.” Holtzmann scored 15 points, had five assists and made 10 of 11 free throws in the win at Ponderosa. Sharpshooting junior Chase Coon had 12 points while Jerrod Doran and Moody each contributed 10 points. Moody had nine rebounds while Dalton had six boards, seven points and led the team with four steals. “We have guys who can get rebounds, make plays on the rim, not just one guy, and we hopefully get touches from a lot of people and a lot of people shooting,” said Johnson. “When we get the ball moving well that’s the balance you are talking about. “We are getting a lot better ball movement and a lot more confidence moving the ball and getting open shots for Chase Coon and Jerrod Doran. There are other guys getting their opportunities.” Coon hit two 3-pointers, Doran one and Moody one in the first quarter as Chaparral grabbed a one-point lead at 16-15. The Wolverines led 27-24 at halftime and pulled away thanks to a 7-0 run to end the third and start the fourth quarters. “Four possessions,” exclaimed Ponderosa coach Mike Gibbs. “They hit four 3’s in the first quarter and we had a bad rotation on defense and that’s the game. We played them even the rest of the way but the first quarter those four 3’s were daggers. The 3-point line was the difference. “We played well, we had opportunities. I’m proud of the kids. … We’ll be OK. This is not the same old Ponderosa basketball program. We’re different.” Johnson agreed that Ponderosa, a Class

Ponderosa’s Zac Scott (5) is guarded by Chaparral’s Chris Moody during the Wolverines’ 57-45 victory on Jan. 31 Photo by Jim Benton 4A team playing up against Class 5A teams in the Continental League, is a team to watch. “Ponderosa played real well,” said Johnson. “We were in a dogfight. Early in the game I never think 3-pointers are that important. Sometimes they hurt you. When you make some early shots like that sometimes your defense gets a little lazy or your offense gets to the point where you are just trying to look for threes the whole time. “I thought we kind of went away from going inside. It kind of helps you but kind of hurts you later on.” Jonathan Barnes, Ponderosa’s 6-10 senior who will be playing for Wyoming next season, led the Mustangs with 13 points. “JB was awesome inside,” said Holtzmann. “He’s huge and he can muscle

to do things so we just had to slow him down as much as possible. We did better in the second half of getting rebounds. “We have tons of guys that can score. We have a little more balance now. I’m able to play better with my teammates now and we are able to get each other open shots.” Ponderosa (9-7, 1-4 Continental) lost 75-61 in a Feb. 1 game at Cheyenne Mountain and the Mustangs battled leading Mountain Vista Feb. 4 before another challenge at Legend Feb. 7. The Mustangs will need a few wins to impress the basketball selection committee to earn a spot in the Class 4A state playoffs. “It’s up to the higher source but we want to make sure we get in by winning basketball games,” said Gibbs.

‘If he falls down, he gets back up’ CHSAA: Mountain Vista’s Bailey Roby can keep playing with certain conditions By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia.com After news broke that Mountain Vista basketball player Bailey Roby may have made his last court appearance on Jan. 24, CHSAA said it will let the senior — who wears two prosthetic legs — play with certain conditions. The story, originally published by Colorado Community Media before being picked up by numerous outlets, began making the rounds on social media late on Jan. 29. The hashtag #LetBaileyRobyHoop gained traction on Twitter, garnering hundreds of positive responses. A fellow student also posted a petition called “Put Roby Back In!” on www.thepetitionsite.com, which had gained 2,348 signatures as of Feb. 3. Bailey Roby called the social media campaigns “really, really cool.” “It’s all been really positive,” the 6-foot-4 senior said. Roby, born with just three toes on each foot, had both of his legs amputated as a baby. He was fitted with his first pair of prosthetics at age 3, picked up golf and baseball in elementary school and started playing basketball in the eighth grade. Pat McCabe, Mountain Vista’s athletic director, said he was “pretty damn proud of (the school’s) kids” after seeing the burgeoning social media campaigns.

“I would have been a little disappointed if our kids weren’t unhappy about this and (weren’t) supporting Bailey, because we want him to play,” McCabe said. “Our kids and our community were huge allies.” In response, the Colorado High School Activities Association released a statement claiming the athletic body’s initial decision was made for Roby’s safety as well as other players’ and that it will now work on a game-by-game basis to approve Roby’s participation in future games. Roby will be allowed to play as long as both schools have an agreement for certain safety parameters. When CHSAA made its original decision, the high school sports authority based it on National Federation of State High School Associations rule 3-5-1 — which states that state associations can “provide reasonable accommodations” to individuals with “disabilities and/or special needs” and “extenuation circumstances” as long as those accommodations do not “fundamentally alter the sport, heighten risk to the athlete/others or place opponents at a disadvantage.” CHSAA assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann said that although Roby’s prosthetics do not alter the outcome of a game or cause a disadvantage, safety was a factor. “When asked for the waiver of the rule, I had to look at the potential risk to the student and those around him,” Borgmann said. “I determined that the potential was enough that I could not give the waiver.” McCabe did not agree with that initial decision. “Did I understand what the justifications were? Yes. Did I agree? No,” McCabe said. “I didn’t like it at all. But I did absolutely see where CHSAA was coming from.” Borgmann said that the organization allowed Roby to play in the Littleton contest on Jan. 24 after discussing parameters to limit risk, but the understanding at the time was that was a one-time allowance for Roby. McCabe responded by leading the effort to get Roby off the bench for his first home game of the year. “We discussed only the Littleton game and really did not look at future games,” Borgmann said. “As we moved forward with this, and with the success of the parameters established in the Littleton game, both parties (CHSAA and Mountain Vista) determined that a game-by-game assessment could perhaps allow for additional participation.” When asked why there are safety concerns with Roby playing varsity basketball this year and not last year when he played junior varsity, Borgmann said “it really is the physical nature and speed of the game that differs from junior varsity. “I remain concerned that without some of the parameters in place, the potential for injury to Bailey and others might have been increased. With the parameters in place, that risk is significantly minimized.” McCabe said although the school and CHSAA were already discussing Roby’s possible future participation and that public reaction may have “expedited the process.” Roby’s father said concerns about the senior posing a safety risk was unfounded, although he said he is glad that it appears CHSAA will make some accommodations for his son. “I think it’s ridiculous,” Scott Roby said. “I don’t think Bailey is a hazard to anyone on the floor and certainly not to himself. He’s been in hundreds of practices and he played junior varsity last year. If he falls down, he gets back

Photo by Tom Munds up.” Scott Roby said that Bailey has never sustained any major injuries and has not caused any harm to other players of which he is aware. “He might not get in a game situation, but we’re OK with that. We don’t expect him to play, that’s the coach’s decision. It’s just the part about being ineligible that we have an issue with,” Scott Roby said. Bailey Roby said the response from school officials and coaches has been mostly positive. “They just want to see me on the team,” he said. Roby appeared again in the team’s Jan. 31 game against Douglas County, finishing 0-for-1 from the field in the Golden Eagles’ 75-59 victory.

Castle Rock man receives Japan’s high honor Isao ‘Kami’ Kamitani decorated by Emperor Akihito for community, international work By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Kami” is in his 70s, now, recently retired, and living quietly in a Castle Rock townhome, watching over his wife who has had health problems. But in November they were far from Castle Rock — in Japan at the Imperial Palace with Emperor Akihito. Castle Rock’s Isao “Kami” Kamitani, was there to accept from the emperor one of Japan’s highest honors for everything he has done. Kamitani received one of the Order of the Rising Sun decorations that was established in 1875 and has been given through the years to exceptional achievers — scientists, playwrights, educators and others in various fields. “This is the highest honor for a Japanese national … given directly from the Japanese emperor,” said Shunsuke Ono Jan. 30, consul at the Consulate-General of Japan’s office in Denver. “He’s well respected by the Japanese community and helped the city of Denver a lot. He’s (had a) very important role.” When Kamitani, a long-time international businessman, found out he was chosen, he truly didn’t think he deserved it. But others begged to differ with him. In December, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock proclaimed

Dec. 17, 2013 as Isao “Kami” Kamitani Day for what he has done over decades in strengthening relations between Colorado and Japan; establishing the Japanese Firms Association of Denver and the Japanese School of Denver; and securing Denver’s first-ever nonstop airline service between Denver and Tokyo — which the mayor’s office estimated would add about $130 million annually to Colorado’s economy. Other accomplishments through the years included finding new markets in Japan for American products. He knew, for example, the Japanese would love Coors beer, and arranged a licensing agreement between Coors and Asahi Breweries to brew Coors beer in Japan. He also helped Callaway Golf enter the Japanese market. And he identified investment opportunities with American start-up companies that his employer, Sumitomo Corporation of America, then ended up investing millions of dollars in. But most significantly, he was honored for being a person of high integrity and sincerity, according to the mayor’s proclamation. In the often brutal, competitive corporate world of business, his character is perhaps what Kamitani is most known for. “Do right … even if you lose money it will come back to you,” he said in a recent interview. “I do business with my heart,” he said. Kamitani, a graduate of Japan’s Keio University, Japan’s equivalent of Princeton University, said his brain helps a little. “But when I have challenges I always talk to my heart, not my

brain,” he said. He said his focus, before company profit, is to do what is “truly best for the client.” “I demand of myself: Am I doing the right thing for people and society,” he said. Kamitani was a 26-year-old businessman in Japan when he was transferred to Houston by his employer, Sumitomo, a more than 400-year-old international trading and investment business in Japan. Kamitani, then with limited English-language skills, was assigned to handle the execution of a major Sumitomo contract, the delivery of 450,000 metric tons of pipe for the Trans-Alaska pipeline. In 1979, when he accepted an assignment to open a Sumitomo Denver office, he, then senior vice president for Sumitomo Corporation of America, decided this was “my time to give back to the American people,” he said. “When I was young, older Americans helped me.” So, he began giving lectures at universities’ business classes. He also sought new markets in Japan for American products. In 2010, he received the Pioneer Award from the Japan America Society of Colorado for forging new ties between America and Japan. Kamitani was born during war years in 1941, the son of an artist and a homemaker. He remembers not having enough to eat and for years was sick and weak, he remembers. He said in during an elementary school field day, when he was participating in a foot race, he was so weak that by the time he finished, the next heat of runners was closing in on him. He remem-

Instead, “my teacher tells me, `I’m very proud of you, you did your best,’” related Kamitani, with a catch in his voice. With her tutoring and encouragement, by sixth grade he was top of the class and physically strong, too. He eventually became

a mountain climber, climbing most of Japan’s mountains. He said he wishes he could thank her, but she is gone. But he and his wife, Miyoko, are still here — and helping. Another program he helped established was the buying and planting of cherry trees in Denver’s parks. There are more than 500 trees, now.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF Feb 2, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Seeing the silly side of some really ridiculous situations helps give the Lamb a new perspective on how to handle them. Some important contacts can be made this weekend. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Try to complete your outstanding tasks by midweek. This leaves you free to take advantage of new possibilities -- both professional and personal -- opening up by week’s end. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) With both your creative side and your energy levels rising this week, you should be able to tackle that too-long-neglected project again. A family member might have important news.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) An explanation you requested seems to be more confusing than enlightening. You should insist on clarifications now, rather than deal with problems that might arise later. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your energy levels might be ebbing a bit. But that’s no excuse for taking catnaps when you could be working on those unfinished tasks. There’ll be time to curl up and relax by week’s end. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) It’s a good time to get those ideas out of your head and into a readable format if you hope to have them turned into something doable. A good friend is ready with worthwhile advice. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Careful -- you might be stepping into dangerous territory if you decide to “exaggerate” the facts too much. Remember: The truth speaks for itself and needs no embellishment. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Although your workplace successes have earned you many admirers, there are some colleagues who are not among them. Be careful how you proceed with your new project. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You might have to go into great detail to explain why you’re currently reluctant to make changes to an already prepared plan. Be sure you have all the facts to back yourself up. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Travel plans might still be uncertain. But instead of getting upset about the delay, open yourself up to other possibilities, and begin checking out some alternative destinations. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Changing conditions might require you to alter some of your plans. While you might be agreeable to this, be prepared with explanations for those who do not want changes made. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Although you might have to deal with some detractors who aren’t too kind in their critiques, you gain points when you’re willing to stand up and defend your work. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for creating a warm and loving environment between yourself and others. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
