Girl, 10, crashes into Parker DMV Mother left kids unattended By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ coloradocommunitymedia.com A 10-year-old girl is facing a careless driving charge after allegedly crashing her mother’s car into a Department of
Motor Vehicles office. The girl, who was not identified because of her age, was left in the vehicle with her 12-year-old sister while their mother went inside to conduct business. The 10-year-old apparently started the ignition and put the GMC Envoy into gear before it slowly rolled through a large window at the front of the DMV of-
fice near Cottonwood Drive and South Parker Road. A “few dozen” people were inside when the car entered around 1:20 p.m. Feb. 10, but there were no injuries, said Sgt. Andy Coleman, public information officer for the Parker Police Department.
News of the Dec. 13 Arapahoe High School shooting hit former Rock Canyon High School guidance counselor Susan Young hard. “The second I heard it, I just sat down in my living room and started crying,” she said. Young didn’t know Highlands Ranch resident and shooter Karl Pierson or his victim, Claire Davis. But as a 15-year high school guidance counselor, she knows the pressures unique to teens, and the counselors who serve them. “Every one of us has had students we worked with that have taken their lives,” said Young, who retired last year and now runs an independent counseling business. “It’s devastating when that happens.” Young is equally certain the team at Rock Canyon prevented tragedies. Post-Columbine, the Douglas County School District developed “an extensive protocol” for threat assessments that included counselors, social workers, psychologists, security staff and teachers, among others, she

dated. The boiler system needs replacing. The electrical system desperately needs an upgrade. The main sewer line, which collapsed and frequently causes flooding, requires repair. Enter the latest era, its leaders, and their creative arts-centered line of thinking. Town officials approved more than $1 million for a “rehabilitation” project needed to get the facility up to code and up to par over the next two to three years, said Elaine Mariner, Parker’s arts and culture director. She sums up the extent of the antiquation in a few words. “It’s usable for the low-level community uses that it’s been asked to do, but the electrical… if you have two crockpots plugged in during a potluck, it trips the breaker,” she said. Phase one includes facade improvements and restoration of the entrance. The work is expected to commence in July, with
For nearly 100 years, the Mainstreet Center has stood while the scenery around it drastically changed. The building itself has undergone a few changes and additions, but the historic charm and character it possesses hasn’t diminished — at least to regular users. Some residents who pass the Mainstreet Center daily have never walked through its doors. Plans are in the works to change that. The facility has quietly remained through different eras of the town’s history and accommodated countless groups, theater productions and classes.

This one’s for the dogs, and cats too As someone who covers the state Legislature, it’s common for me to write about lawmakers who fight like cats and dogs. Yeah, yeah, I get it. Legislators will tell you that more than 90 percent of bills are passed with bipartisan support. No argument there. But do they really expect the press to write about a unanimous resolution to designate the month of July as Go Fly a Kite Month? Not sure if that’s something that’s actually happened, but you get my point. On the heavy-duty bills having to do with gun control and oil and gas regulations, lawmakers sure do know how to throw down, steel cage-style. They fight and scratch and claw and bite, and covering that messy business can get old after a while. So imagine my delight when I found out that a group of lawmakers, who at times fight like cats and dogs, get together periodically to talk about taking care of cats and dogs — and other cute critters, large and small. The Colorado Legislative Animal Caucus, or CLAW, is made up of a bipartisan group of lawmakers who deal with any kind of legislation having to do with animals. “We discuss all kinds of animal issues,” said state Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial, a caucus co-chairman. “Large animals like horses and cows and very small animals like reptiles and birds. We discuss everything.” The caucus gets together to discuss potential legislation. The consensus on issues is non-binding, but it serves a starting point for animal bills that end up being introduced at the Capitol. As a reporter who can lose political romance due to the often-ugly sausage-making process at the Capitol, I gotta tell you that it’s kind of nice being able to recognize lawmakers who take time to craft legislation aimed at protecting our “Snausage” eating four-legged friends. When folks think about the role of state legislators, they think of budget committees and floor votes. Few would guess that lawmakers convene as a special body to talk about animal welfare issues. “I think some folks might be surprised,” said Rep. Steve Lebsock, D-Thornton, a CLAW caucus member. “But, to be honest with you, 60 percent of the households in Colorado have either a dog or cat. They might be surprised if we didn’t have a caucus. “People love animals. Their little dogs and cats are like their children and grandchildren. I think a lot of people
would be really proud to see their lawmakers looking out for the welfare of animals in the state.” Caucus m e m b e r Rep. Lois Court, D-Denver, said it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the legislature has its own caucus that deals with issues pertaining to animals. “We have caucuses to talk about the disabled, veterans and rural Colorado,” she said. “Our constituents across the state have a gazillion of particular interests. And there is a huge population in this state who is concerned about animal welfare.” While lawmakers who participate in the CLAW caucus do so out of a love for animals, not everything that the body deals with is touchy-feely legislation. They actually take up quite a few controversial issues. For example, last year the Legislature passed a bill that designates shelter dogs and cats as being the official state pet, something that spurred opposition from breeders and pet shop businesses. And Lebsock introduced a bill that would limit the practice of tail docking, where a dairy cow’s tail is partially amputated. That bill, which received opposition from dairy groups, didn’t make it out of the Capitol last year, but Lebsock is pleased that the issue could end up on the ballot this fall. So, just like any other issue, all politics is local when it comes to animal matters. “I think legislators are reticent to vote against a bill that’s helping dogs and cats,” Balmer said. “But when it comes to the large animal issues, you can almost predict how a legislator is going to come down on it based on how their district looks.” If you know Balmer, his participation in the CLAW caucus should come as no surprise. He is known at the Capitol as the “dog legislator.” Last year, Balmer sponsored legislation that created law enforcement training practices whenever cops en-

counter dogs at crime scenes. The legislation was spurred by incidents where dogs were shot and killed by officers who were responding to house calls. And this year, Balmer’s bill to allow emergency medical personnel to provide medical care to domestic dogs and cats is expected to become law. Balmer owns three dogs — two vizlas (a type of Hungarian hunting dog) and a German Long-haired pointer. Balmer boasts his love of dogs through his email tag, which reads: Be as good as your dog. The Centennial senator is a dog lover — and who can blame a guy for that? “Dogs are inherently good,” he said. “They are always trying to celebrate your homecoming. When you go to the grocery store and come back home, it’s a big deal for them. Any time you’re having a sad day, your dog will sense it and comfort you. They are a greater creature of love than we are.” Tell me about it. Bennie, my 11-year-old mystery mutt, has been a vital part of my life since he was a puppy. If I could point to the day when I fell in love with him, it was when I was watching a Cubs game on TV. Livid at the Cubs performance — which, as a Cubs fan, I often am — I threw my Cubs cap at the TV set in disgust. Bennie, who was on the couch with me, looked up at me for a second, hopped off the couch, fetched my baseball cap and brought it back to me. Oh, the goosebumps I still get from that. Most recently, I came home from a Super Bowl party, depressed and dejected from the Broncos’ performance. I wanted nothing to do with anyone or anything. I flopped on the couch and stared at the wall, deflated and miserable. Bennie hopped on the couch, shook his tail and licked my face. Suddenly, life was so much better. The solace in having your heart broken is coming home to a dog who licks your wounds. Balmer’s love for dogs knows no bounds. He was a major in the Army reserves who served a tour in Afghanistan in 2002. The streets were full of stray Dogs of War who lacked food and veterinary care. “They stayed with us and slept in the shade of our vehicles,” he said. “We weren’t supposed to let them get in any of our vehicles, but a lot of our soldiers did. I always looked the other way.” Court is touched whenever she comes across military veterans with service dogs, who provide companionship for soldiers in need of loyalty and love. “Their pets are life-savers for them,” she said. “They are incredibly important members of their families. Whenever Balmer leaves office, if he is remembered as being nothing other than a dog champion, he’s totally OK with that. “I couldn’t be more proud of that label,” he said. “I have spent nine years at the Capitol developing a reputation as a conservative Republican, which I’m also proud of. But I am immensely proud to be known as the dog legislator. People are calling me that now and I couldn’t be happier to have that moniker and wear it with pride.” Vic Vela is the legislative reporter for Colorado Community Media.

Developer proposes taxing district Council to consider proposal March 3 By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ coloradocommunitymedia.com A housing developer is seeking the Town of Parker’s approval to create a taxing district to fund infrastructure costs for a new neighborhood. Century Communities is asking to form a metropolitan district for Salisbury Heights, a proposed 130-home subdivision west of Motsenbocker Road, approximately a quarter-mile north of Hess Road. A metro district is a Title 32 Special District that enables real-estate developers to issue bonds to publicly finance the installation of components like sewer lines and drainage channels. Headed by a board of directors, districts have the authority to levy sales tax, property tax and use fees on future homeowners to repay the bonds. Lisa Purul, director of entitlements and planning for Century Communities, declined a request for an interview about the proposal, which will be presented to town council during a public hearing at 7 p.m. March 3 at town hall. Parker’s planning commission, an advisory board to town council, unanimously
SPECIAL DISTRICTS The state of Colorado has more than 3,000 districts with taxing authority. The various districts issue bonds to fund schools, law enforcement, fire protection, water, sewage, drainage, irrigation, transportation, recreation, infrastructure, cultural facilities, business support, redevelopment or other services. The bonds are repaid by future homeowners.
Mayor Mike Waid will talk about the past, present and future during the upcoming 2014 Parker State of the Town address. The fifth annual event — scheduled for 5 p.m. Feb. 20 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center — is being paired this year with a charity ball. The state of the town is organized by the Parker Rotary Club, which uses the proceeds for nonprofit service projects both locally and globally, said Steve Trevino, event chairman. Waid plans to discuss the financial health of Parker, which he described as “very good,” as well as the expansion of community amenities such as parks and public facilities. He will also talk about “what the future holds,” he said. The state of the town is meant to keep residents and business leaders informed and showcase the work of local government. “That is why we started doing this,” said Trevino, a longtime Rotary member.
The inaugural Mayor’s Charity Ball that follows the state of the town is designed as “something a little bit different;” Phat Daddy, an accomplished Denver cover band, will play live, and a DJ will be on hand, Trevino said. It is a blacktie optional ball that will become its own separate event next year. A social hour and VIP cocktail session with the mayor and town council is scheduled between the mayor’s address and the ball. Waid The 2014 Parker State of the Town will include Rotary’s tradition of highlighting those who consistently make a valuable contribution to the community. Rotary officials will present the Parker Impact Award to one of eight nominees. The state of the town includes appearances by the Parker Chorale, the Parker Police Honor Guard, town administrator Randy Young, and Waid’s father, who will lead the Pledge of Allegiance. Only 300 tickets are being made available for $100 each and Trevino says they are going fast. To purchase tickets or become a sponsor, visit www.parkerrotary.org.
signed off in September on a sketch and preliminary plan for the first filing of Salisbury Heights. The 38-acre community, if approved, would be built just south of an existing recreational vehicle storage lot along Motsenbocker Road, about a mile south of Mainstreet. The average home in Salisbury Heights — a neighborhood first proposed in 2007 — will cost around $350,000. Lot sizes will measure 6,600 square feet on average, and that is based on market studies that indicate homeowners are interested in smaller yards but want access to parks, Purul said during the presentation to the planning commission. She also said there are plans to “mitigate” the view of the RV storage facility with sixfoot privacy fencing. A pedestrian crossing signal will be installed on the west side of Motsenbocker Road.

rights and self determination.’
With a ballot measure looming that could determine the future of hydraulic fracking in Colorado, oil and gas industry leaders are preparing for a battle unlike any they’ve fought before. “We’ve got a serious fight on our hands in 2014,” said Tim Wrigley, president of the Western Energy Alliance. Wrigley’s comments came during a Jan. 31 fracking forum in downtown Denver, where leaders from the oil and gas industry and other business groups converged. The hour-long discussion focused on developing pro-industry voter outreach strategies in anticipation of a potential November ballot initiative that is being driven by anti-fracking advocates. Fracking is the mixing of water, sand and chemicals that are blasted deep into the surface to crack porous rock to free up blocked oil and gas. So far, five Colorado cities and more than 100 municipalities across the nation have either placed bans or other limits on the practice. The group behind the ballot proposal, the Colorado Com-

munity Rights Network, is the same organization that spearheaded last year’s successful ballot measure in Lafayette that banned any new oil and gas drilling there. If it makes it on to the ballot, the proposal — which was filed as a potential state constitutional amendment last month — would allow cities to block oil and gas development, as well as any other kind of business practice that could have harmful impacts on residents’ well-being. Report Organizers have until August to collect 86,105 valid signatures the proposal to make it on the November ballot.

Those who are adamantly opposed to fracking say that research into its effects on health has only begun to scratch the surface, as researchers continue to learn new information about the practice. For example, last week the University of Colorado released a study that indicates a higher percentage of birth defects among mothers who live near natural gas wells. But supporters of the industry insist that the practice is a safe one and one that creates jobs. They also point to statistics that show that fracking has made the U.S. less reliant upon foreign oil. “The facts are totally on our side,” said Tisha Schuller, president of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association. Schuller also told the forum that oil and gas money is so important to the state that 8 percent of Colorado’s economy would be at risk if the ballot measure proves successful. “It would be devastating,” she said. “It would take out Colorado’s economy immediately.” But Wilmeng said that the oil and gas industry is being “short-sided” on this issue, ignoring environmental threats, while corporate CEO’s pad their wallets. “If the oil and gas industry is so confident in their longevity and popularity in the state, they should defer the decision making to the people of Colorado,” he said.
The politics of fracking
Making the issue even more difficult are the complicated politics that surround it. Yes, polls show that most fracking supporters are Republicans and most who oppose the practice are Democrats. However, Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat and a geologist by trade, is a supporter of fracking. Schuller of COGA is a Democrat as well. Then there’s Fort Collins, located in Republican-leaning Larimer County, where voters last year put in place a five-year moratorium on fracking. Hickenlooper’s position on fracking has at times put him at odds with environmental advocates and members of his own party. He and his administration are co-plaintiffs in an oil and gas industry lawsuit against city of Longmont over its recent citizen-driven fracking ban. Hickenlooper’s administration’s position is that state law supersedes municipalities on matters like these. “The main frustration we have with Gov. Hickenlooper is that he has no respect for the fundamental right of democracy for the people of the state,” Wilmeng said. The Legislature has also been criticized by anti-fracking advocates for not doing enough on the issue. Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, said the Legislature has taken steps to address some of those concerns. She pointed to an increase in the number of well inspectors and said the state has set up infrared cameras meant to detect methane near drill sites. Carroll also mentioned a bill that is making its way through the Capitol that would require warnings on home purchase contracts, letting potential buyers know whether the land is on a split-estate property where drilling can occur. And she said that the Legislature could deal with local control issues as early as this session. At the same time, Carroll acknowledged the political realities associated with the fracking issue. “There’s other things that, for some of us personally or for our districts, would like to see done,” she said. “But like every other bill, it’s a vote counting-process. “Sometimes what’s popular or unpopular with the public isn’t the same as what’s popular or unpopular with elected officials in the building,” she said. “I think this is a case where there is pent-up frustration for failing to see enough movement (at the Legislature) and I think it’s totally the prerogative of people at the local level to take issues into their own hands.” In the meantime, the fight over fracking continues and both sides are in the process of mapping out their strategies. Schuller urged fracking supporters to be sympathetic to the concerns of those who have doubts about the practice. “My overwhelming message is not about necessarily getting the facts out alone, this is about an empathetic connection, building trust for decades to come,” she said after last month’s forum. “Oil and gas has been here for 100 years and we’re going to be here for decades to come. How do we let people know that this has been done safely and effectively for communities for a very long time? That’s what we’re working on.” Wilmeng hopes that voters across the state connect to same message that rallied Lafayette voters — that the “unaccountable” oil and gas industry is engaging in a dangerous environmental practice that needs to be curbed. “We look at this as a movement,” he said of allowing local “self-determination” on matters such as fracking. “What we’re considering hasn’t been done in a very, very long time. There’s no question we’re moving forward on this.”

No applications filed yet for board vacancy By Jane Reuter
week we haven’t yet had anybody, we’d make sure to step up our efforts to get people to come out,” he said. Six-year board member Justin Williams submitted his resignation Jan. 6, citing a desire to spend more time with his family and making his removal effective immediately. When former board member Dan Gerken resigned in early 2013, only two people initially applied for the seat. The school board extended the application deadline a week, eventually getting 15 applications and conducting extended public interviews among six finalists. Larsen acknowledges people may be hesitant to throw a hat in the ring. Since 2009, the school board has often enacted controversial policies aimed at fast-paced education reform. Those changes have been both praised and criticized, and those strong opinions were reflected in the November 2013 board election. “I think a lot of people give it very
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County School Board President Kevin Larsen said he isn’t worried about filling the board’s current vacant seat, though no one so far has applied to fill it. The deadline for applications is Feb. 21. “I want to have many good candidates to choose from,” Larsen said. “Even if there are no applications in yet, I’m certainly aware of people who are considering applying. My suspicion is many people may be inclined to wait until the very last moment to submit.” If the seat isn’t filled within 60 days after it is officially declared vacant — which the board did on Jan. 21 — Colorado state statute allows a school board president to appoint a replacement. That’s not something Larsen wants to do. “If we know going into the final

Errors, Mistakes, Sins, Oversights, Transgressions, they come in all styles and variations. Most of us slip-up every day – sometimes in a small way, other times in a larger way. We try our hardest to avoid big, life changing mistakes. When we do mess up, we’re often faced with the task of remedying the error. Fortunately most can be settled by straightforward acknowledgment and apology. When authentically provided and gracefully accepted an apology can mean equally as much to the provider as to the receiver. Both are able to move on. More serious mistakes likely mean more effort to pay the debt, right the wrong or make amends. Hopefully we grow from all of our mistakes and become better people. We shouldn’t seek to avoid missteps however – they are how we grow, learn and get stronger. We should do our best to avoid lapses in judgment that either knowingly or unknowingly hurt others and when we do make them we should be our best to fix them. We received an anonymous letter and $500 money order last week from the Greater Seattle area (and no, not regarding the Seahawks - more on that below).
deep thought,” Larsen said, noting board members are scrutinized and expected to devote long hours to the volunteer position. “This is for me a fun position, but you’ve got to be ready for the big leagues. This is not for the meek or thin-skinned.” Potential candidates must live in District F, which includes portions of eastern and southern Parker and some of Elbert County. The position will expire in November 2015. All seven current board members support the district’s controversial education reform policies, which the four unsuccessful candidates challenged. Many community members who supported the alternative candidates are advocating for a new member who represents their views. Larsen said the board will choose Williams’ replacement carefully. “There’s no predisposition, and there are no slam dunks,” he said.
The author reflected on his life as a boy growing up in South Metro Denver and expressed regret and disappointment over one of his youthful transgressions. This gentleman was seeking to make amends for taking small items from a local retail store, long since out of business, in order to impress his friends. For over 40 years he has remembered this mistake and wondered how to redeem himself. His letter, in part below, is noteworthy: “I hope that when my life is done that I will have done more good than harm. I try each day to live my life to help others and improve myself. But the guilt associated with this behavior, and many other poor decisions, lingers as something unresolved. Now in my older age and reflecting on my life, I realize I am a different man than I was years ago, but my past still serves as a reminder of how far I have left to go. I cannot know how many people I have hurt over time, nor am I able to remember the names and faces of even those that I know I hurt. But I do remember the store and know I never made amends. I wish that little store were still open so I could make amends directly. Instead, I thought the organization that represents such stores might be my closest alternative. Enclosed is $500 which represents the value of the items plus interest, with a little bit more added in. I appreciate what you do for your community and for allowing me the opportunity to try and restore, to some small degree, a wrong I did to a member of your community.” Powerful words. Somewhere in Seattle is a good man who is working to get bet-

YOUR FINAL RESTING PLACE If you are choosing a cemetery plot for yourself when preplanning a funeral, you will likely base your decision on its proximity to family members and whether it meets your religious needs. Aside from these factors, it is also important to take the cemetery’s policy regarding monuments and plaques into account. Of course, cost may also be an important factor in any decision. If so, inquire as to whether perpetual care is included in the purchase price. The tranquility of the setting is also very important. Eternal resting places are usually associated with the natural beauty that lends itself to quiet contemplation. Family members should feel at peace with the surroundings that you have chosen for your final rest. “I have been here before as a spirit - this is just my physical body, it is just an overcoat. And at death, you will take the overcoat off.” –Glenn Hoddle PONDEROSA VALLEY FUNERAL SERVICES is pleased to bring you interesting and informative philosophy topics.

opinions / yours and ours
Inspiration, hope for generations to come A high school student kills a classmate. Another sets himself on fire. Still another murders his mother. Those things happened in Denver’s suburbs in a recent six-week span. Across the country, media reports tell far and wide of teenagers doing something horribly wrong. But there are inspirational stories, too, stories of teen achievement, of overcoming obstacles. Typically, though, they don’t generate much media buzz outside of the immediate community. Recently, one did. Bailey Roby is an 18-year-old varsity basketball player for Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch. In late January, he found himself at the center of controversy because he runs the court on two prosthetic
our view
legs. The Colorado High School Activities Association made a mid-season ruling that Roby’s appearances in games compromised his and other players’ safety. For several days, it looked like the fan favorite’s playing career was over. Still, he was poised to be there for his teammates. “Now, I just gotta sit on the bench and support (the team),” Roby said after the Jan. 24 game that, at the time, looked to be his
last. “The most important thing is being a part of the team.” We were the first media outlet to report on Roby’s plight, but far from the last. The story was covered by most of Denver’s print and digital media but also was picked up by, among many others, “Good Morning America” and the British newspaper the Daily Mail. Facebook and Twitter were abuzz as social media campaigns ignited by Mountain Vista students and community members pushed to get Roby back in the game. And that’s what happened. Upon further review, CHSAA decided Roby could play as long as both teams agreed to it. The idea that Roby represented a safety risk confounded many. “I don’t think Bailey is a hazard to anyone on the floor and certainly not to himself,”
said Roby’s father, Scott. “He’s been in hundreds of practices and he played junior varsity last year. If he falls down, he gets back up.” Roby’s statistics certainly won’t draw all-state attention — he averages 1.4 points per game, with a season-high of 3, generally seeing action when the powerhouse Golden Eagles have a victory wrapped up. The state playoffs tip off in a couple of weeks and it’s likely Roby’s on-court role will become even smaller. But he’ll be there if the team needs him. Just like his classmates and the community were there when he needed them. Teamwork. Overcoming obstacles. Getting up when you get knocked down. Teenagers learning life lessons. There’s plenty of good news out there.

Measuring success one inch at a time One of my favorite things about writing this column is the interaction and communication with the community. I appreciate you all for the feedback, recommendations, and support you have provided over the years. Last week I received one of those communications I love so much via email. One of our local readers wanted to know why I haven’t been more diligent about following up on the pursuit of our goals and New Year’s Resolutions as I have in years past, especially right at the beginning of the year. I am glad that some of you look forward to the challenges and prodding from yours truly when it comes to the pursuit of your goals and dreams. And the fact that you reach out and share those dreams means even more to me than you can imagine. Well, let me ask you now that we are just a little more than a month into the New Year, how are you doing with your resolutions, goals and plans? Are you right where you thought you would be? Are you ahead of schedule? Or maybe you aren’t quite where you wanted to be or where you thought you might be by now. The good news is that we have only completed one-twelfth of the year. Imagine the year as if you were looking at a 12-inch ruler with the month of January sitting on the oneinch mark. It’s easy to see or imagine that there is still so much more time ahead of us than there is behind us. So even if we haven’t gotten off to a super strong start yet, or we have realized that we still have more work to do, the balance of the year works in our favor. Now, continue to use your imagination. Think of each inch as the next month in the year and the space between each as a 30-day window. Get the visual in your head, maybe even transfer the image to paper or an electronic document. What are the things that need to happen in each month, each 30day window that will help you with the achievement of your goals and dreams? You see we can’t measure
success if we do not know what it is we are measuring. What does success look like in February? What will it look like in March? And what does success mean along our individual ruler or path to success? There is more good news. Success can come in all shapes and sizes and can be accomplished along any time line. There are immediate wins, near-term successes, mid-range accomplishments, and the successful achievement of long-term goals. And there is even more good news. Success begets success. That’s right, the more we succeed, the more likely it is that success will follow us wherever we go. How about you? Where are you in the pursuit of your goals and dreams? I am sure there are many of you who don’t need me to be your weekly reminder or coach when it comes to being driven to succeed. And I am sure there are many of you who have someone or something that inspires and motivates you as you seek success. My hope is that this week you will realize that there is still so much time left this year to set our goals and resolutions and just as much time to pursue and achieve our modest and even wildest dreams. I would love to hear all about where you see yourself on the ruler and how you plan on pursuing personal success at gotonorton@gmail.com. Remember, when we identify what we want and plan for our own success, it will be a better than good week.

Mick Jagger said, “Time waits for no one.” No, it doesn’t. I just turned around and I’m on Medicare. My only living relative is my sister, Cindy. My college professors are dropping one by one. I was grading portfolios a week ago, it seems like. And now I have been retired for 11 years. It’s kind of fascinating to be up in the tower like coach Bear Bryant, looking down and looking back on my life. Maybe you have done the same thing. In the dream-like moments between wake and sleep, I reminisce about ex-girlfriends, my father, when I was a student. During one stretch I went to different schools four years in a row. One in Michigan, two in California, and one in Ohio. There was a lot of moving going on, and a lot of readjustments that had to be made. Everyone has had a handful of days that were important, that can make us sentimental or emotional when we think about them. Graduation day, the day you met your future wife or husband, the day your child was born. The day you were hired or fired, divorced, or checked into rehab. What if you didn’t go to that concert in the first place? You never would have met Vera, Chuck or Dave. If you skipped that surprise party, you might not have met Janalee, Andy or Thor. I have questions that I want to ask my father, and I can’t. I want to know why we moved from Michigan to Pennsylvania and then back to Michigan. The only source of that information is deceased. If you have some unanswered questions, ask them now, because you never

know. My life really changed for the first time on Aug. 8, 1963, when I was the only witness in one of Ohio’s most sensational crimes, the murder of a high school cheerleader. It’s still around in my thoughts. Ten years later, my life changed again. I vividly remember being introduced to the chair of the University of California, Santa Barbara, art department, and the moment he offered me my first teaching job. I spent 13 hours one day in 1984, defending myself in front of a school committee because a pathological student had convinced enough people that she was telling the truth when she claimed I had entered her home and written messages in lipstick on her bathroom mirror. Among other fun accusations. It was the day the respect I had for my employer ended.

Our veterans deserve better from the VA Editor’s note: The following was written by U.S. Reps. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) and Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) It is time for the federal government to fulfill its promise to our nation’s veterans and get our VA hospitals built, on time and without excessive and avoidable cost overruns. That’s why we are pushing bipartisan legislation to reform a broken bureaucratic system that has been harming our nation’s veterans and wasting precious taxpayer resources. As a Republican from Colorado and a Democrat from Arizona, we stand united in our desire to see the Aurora VA hospital and others around the country completed. To do that, we need serious reform of how the VA manages the construction process. Last year, the House Veterans’ Affairs Subcommittee for Oversight and Investigations (O&I) held a hearing entitled “VA Construction Policy: Failed Plans Result in Plans That Fail.” Additionally, the full House Veterans Affairs Committee (HVAC) held a hearing on “Confronting Persistent Challenges in VA Major Construction and Lease Programs.” The take-away from these hearings, which is self-evident from the titles, is that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) struggles significantly with construction of healthcare facilities. At a subcommittee hearing last year, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) testified that delays in hospital construction projects in Aurora, Orlando, Las Vegas, and New Orleans are, on average, 35 months behind schedule and $336 million over budget.
Those numbers are simply unacceptable, for both taxpayers and veterans in need of care. As the chairman and a ranking member for O&I, we are disheartened by the findings of our subcommittee’s investigations into these projects, detailing gross mismanagement in every aspect of major medical facility construction, including design, operations, change orders and payments to prime contractors and subcontractors. At best, this pattern of mismanagement indicates utter incompetence. At worst, it shows complete disrespect to our nation’s veterans and to the American taxpayer by the VA’s Office of Construction and Facilities Management. We are committed to working with the VA to solve these problems because we should do everything in our power to help the VA provide veterans with quality care. In fact, the Congress as a whole has made substantial efforts to increase funding for the VA and its programs despite being in a time of serious budget constraints. However, the VA has not only squandered these taxpayer dollars but has also weakened the public’s trust in their ability to plan, budget,
manage and ultimately construct major medical facilities. Veterans in Colorado, Louisiana, Florida, and Nevada have been waiting years for their facilities to be completed. The VA claims that the Aurora project will be completed by April 2015 but all evidence points to that deadline being unrealistic. Additionally, the completion date for the project in Orlando was pushed back to December of 2014, making that project now two years behind schedule. Unfortunately, even after numerous Congressional hearings and inquiries, the VA has done little to convince us they can meet any of their goals on time. That is why we introduced legislation to help with the completion of the VA medical center in Aurora, as well as other projects. H.R. 3593, the VA Construction Assistance Act of 2013, will implement GAO recommended reforms such as assigning medical equipment planners to major medical construction projects and streamlining the change-order process. We go one step further by requiring that an emergency manager, referred to as a “special project manager” from the Army Corps of Engineers, independent of the VA, be appointed to provide oversight for each existing VA major medical facility project currently under construction in order to make sure that the GAO recommendations are fully implemented and to take any additional steps necessary to help reduce both the cost and the delays that have plagued these projects. While this legislation was drafted and

points, grinding stones and pit houses have in common? They all came out of the hole that was dug to create the Rueter-Hess Dam and Reservoir.

introduced late last year, we delayed in bringing it up in order to see if conditions at the four VA hospital construction sites might improve. Unfortunately, there are no significant changes to warrant any further delays in moving forward with this proposal. According to the GAO’s report dated March of 2013, the Army Corps of Engineers has institutional knowledge and expertise in construction and, unlike the VA, consistently completes similar projects for the Department of Defense on-budget and on-time. The USACE will also provide oversight for the House and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committees so that we in Congress can be apprised of their progress — or lack thereof — on these projects. Although the VA does provide great overall healthcare for our veterans, our tenor and posture will be to vigorously highlight that the VA needs a watchdog in order to successfully complete its construction projects. This has been and will continue to be the focus of our Oversight and Investigation Subcommittee during the 113th Congress. Our work, along with H.R. 3593, will help to ensure the VA has proper oversight and expertise guiding the management and ultimate completion of the Aurora VA Medical Center, as well as the other projects highlighted by the GAO. Our veterans cannot simply hope the VA improves. Rather, we must take action to push these projects forward. U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman is the chairman of the House Veterans’ Subcommittee for Oversight and Investigations and U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick is the subcommittee’s ranking member.

School board meeting attendance capped By Jane Reuter

ings, with the first one scheduled for March 3 at Parker’s Cimarron Middle School. Though it will be an evening meeting, the start time has not been set yet. The meetings are a new effort to connect on a more informal level with community members, board members say, and a return to the types of meetings the group once held quarterly at various schools throughout Douglas County. The March 3 meeting substitutes for the board’s first regular meeting of the month, and is the first of three the board plans through the end of the school year. The second meetings in March, April and May — set for 7 p.m. each third Tuesday — will be held in the board meeting room of DCSD’s administration building in Castle Rock. There will be “Board Unplugged” meetings on the first Tuesday each of those months at various locations throughout the district.

After a standing-room-only crowd overflowed the board’s Castle Rock chambers during its Jan. 21 meeting, the Douglas County School District made the call to restrict attendance at its meetings to those who are seated. Though fire code allows a total of 145 people in the room, a total of 87 chairs now will be available for audience members. Those who cannot find a seat will not be allowed to attend the meeting, according to security staff. Though there was no formal action taken on the matter, security guards at the Feb. 4 meeting told some audience members about the change as they entered the meeting — the first board meeting since Jan. 21. DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans said that given the current boardroom set up, “including space for media and other code
requirements, a maximum of 87 chairs can be placed in the room.” The change was prompted by safety concerns, DCSD leaders said, and is not an effort to limit attendance. During the Jan. 21 meeting, audience members sat on the floor and stood. Still more people stood in a hall outside the meeting room. A series of controversial changes instituted by the school board in the last few years regularly have brought a deluge of concerned community members to the group’s meeting. Standingroom-only school board meetings have not been uncommon. “Concerns about public participation are unfounded,” Hans wrote in an email. “Public outreach in DCSD has never been more robust than now.” For instance, under new board president Kevin Larsen’s direction, public comment time has been expanded from two to three minutes per person. Also under Larsen, the board is introducing its “Board Unplugged” meet-

newS in a hurry Choir plots second act at PACE
The Spirituals Project Choir is back for its second appearance at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center. Consisting of singers of all ages and backgrounds with varying degrees of musical experience, the choir celebrates the varied traditions of spirituals (sacred songs created and first sung by enslaved Africans in America in the 18th and 19th centuries). In addition, the choir performs new arrangements that provide an opportunity for people to connect personally with the spirituals through performance. The choir’s director, Daryl J. Walker, prepared choral singers and performed with the Colorado Symphony’s annual holiday performance of “Too Hot to Handel.” In 2008, Walker organized a mass choir comprised of musicians from 38 different churches and organizations that performed at two events as part of the Democratic National Convention. Cleo Parker Robinson and Christoper Page will perform excerpts of “Spiritual Suite” World Premiere 1984-1985. Inspired by Parker Robinson’s early childhood in the gospel in Dallas, “Spiritual Suite” is dedicated to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr., in memory of Parker Robinson’s brother, John Whalen Parker Jr. The performance is at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 15. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at www.PACEcenteronline.org or by calling 303-805-6800.
Vehicle break-ins reported
Four vehicle break-ins were reported in the Parker area Feb. 1 and Feb. 2. Three of them occurred on the same night in the 6600 block of Windfield Avenue, with two vehicles “likely left unlocked,” according to a police report. Among the items stolen were a multi-tool style pocket knife with a wood grain handle valued at $100, digital device chargers, a Magellan GPS device and an opal necklace from Australia. Footprints were left in the snow, but there were no known suspects. The fourth vehicle trespass occurred in the 7800 block of Windcrest Row, but nothing was taken.

Continued job growth linked to light rail Young workers not keen on car ownership, economic development experts say By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Companies building in south metro Denver since 2011 have brought, or will bring, almost 5,500 new jobs to the area, according to the Denver South Economic Development Partnership. Continued job growth hinges in large part on building the southeast light rail extension, experts say. That’s because the young workers most likely to fill those jobs don’t want to own vehicles. Company leaders said their targeted work force of 25- to 35-year olds reflect changes in lifestyle preferences. Their wish lists don’t necessarily include owning a large home and driving a quality car — or any car at all. “These young people want to live in a mixed-use community, a village kind of setting where they can walk,” Denver South EDP president Mike Fitzgerald told the Lone Tree City Council during its Feb. 4 meeting. “They want to live in multi-family housing. They may or may not have a preference to buy (a home). More of them do not want
to own a car than do, so they want to be as close to mass transit as possible.” Extending the light rail line south would add 2.3 miles of track from Lincoln Avenue across Interstate 25 to RidgeGate Parkway. The Regional Transportation District doesn’t have funding to accomplish the work through its FasTracks Program, so it’s exploring financial partnerships. With its huge stake in the outcome, Lone Tree’s been a key player in those negotiations. “It’s really important we get this,” Fitzgerald said. “We will not know the full potential until it’s all together and connected.” Eighteen company announcements made in 2013 alone are expected to generate about 2,050 jobs. And announcements made in 2011-12, including the construction in Lone Tree of Charles Schwab’s campus, Kaiser Permanente’s large medical specialty building, require the addition of another 3,400 jobs. Both companies cited access to light rail among their reasons for choosing Lone Tree. Significant as those employers are, Denver South EDP’s 2013 year-end recap shows almost two dozen prospective companies didn’t consider south metro Denver. Topping the list of reasons: “Rail service required.” Companies that choose south metro Denver cite the quality of life, the workforce and support from local government among the reasons that swayed them, Fitzgerald
Search for library director almost done Personnel committee expected to make final decision soon; two finalists being considered By Virginia Grantier
vgrantier@ coloradocommunitymedia.com The shoes are close to being filled. Douglas County Libraries has two finalists for the library director position that has been open since Jan. 17, the last day of work for longtime director Jamie LaRue. LaRue, after 23 years of service, is now giving talks to library systems around the world on innovative practices he initiated at a library system that was considered the worst in the state when he arrived and now is ranked as the best library system in the nation in its circulation class. The search committee received a total of 17 applications from states as far away as California and North Carolina. But one of the two finalists was found close by. And the other one used to be close by. Finalist David Farnan has served as the associate director of community services for Douglas County Libraries since 2008. Before that he was the adult services coor-
dinator as well as the public services supervisor for the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library system from 200108. He currently serves on the Colorado Association of Libraries Executive Council and the Board of the Colorado Library Consortium (CLiC). The other finalist is from Iowa — Robert Pasicznyuk, the current director of Cedar Rapids Public Library. Prior to moving to Iowa, Pasicznyuk was DCL’s associate director of information technology from 2004 to 2009. From 1997-2004, he was the information technology officer and systems analyst/internet developer at Pikes Peak Library District. From 1996 to 2009, he was also an adjunct faculty member at University of Denver’s Library and Information Science School. The two finalists have undergone multiple interviews and a decision is expected soon. “The board is committed to finding a dedicated and visionary leader for Douglas County Libraries,” said Demetria Heath, a library trustee who is chairing the personnel committee for this effort. The committee, which includes members of DCL’s human resources department and the full board of library trustees, began a national search for candidates in October.

Economic development in south metro Denver hinges on the extension of light rail — which now stops here at Lincoln Avenue — south to RidgeGate Parkway, many say. Photo by Jane Reuter said. Kaiser opened its facility in December with about 300 employees. Schwab, which plans to transfer its more than 2,000 metroarea employees to Lone Tree and build from there, is on track to move its first workers onto the new campus late this year. Schwab’s move likely will have a longterm positive impact on Lone Tree and the south metro area. Fitzgerald told the council a decision by “a company of that magni-
tude and world reputation” sends ripples that extend “nationally and internationally.” “All of their peers pay close attention to that (and wonder), `Why did they go here?’ ” he said. Other companies adding jobs through construction or expansion are scattered throughout the south metro area, and include TriZetto, Comcast, Hitachi, Fidelity Investments, Silvergate Pharmaceuticals and Charter Communications.

Commissioners repeal blanket open-carry ban Metal detector deactivated at county building By Virginia Grantier
vgrantier@coloradocommunitymedia.com A metal detector near the entrance of the Douglas County commissioners’ hearing room recently was deactivated. That happened because of the county commissioners’ December decision to repeal a resolution adopted in 2003 that had “prohibited open carrying of firearms in all Douglas County facilities.” County spokeswoman Wendy Holmes said it is her understanding that the decision to repeal was made because the county hasn’t had a problem with open carry — and it’s “an individual liberty that our commissioners believe is extremely important.” Also, the county’s practice wasn’t consistent with state law, which requires that where open carry is prohibited, signs must be posted. Only the fairgrounds had a sign outlawing open carry and that sign is now gone. Another sign, removed recently from the Philip S. Miller building where the commissioners meet, didn’t refer to firearms — just prohibited knives, explosives and martial arts weapons, Holmes said. The open-carry item — along with several others dealing with rules on county proper-

ties — was unanimously approved Dec. 17 as a consent agenda item. Holmes said there would have been opportunity for public comment if a member of the public had seen it on the consent agenda and requested that it be removed from the consent agenda. That didn’t happen. In the county’s new resolution, open carrying of firearms is prohibited only where signs have been posted — either permanently or temporarily — at the discretion of the county manager. Currently, only the Douglas County Justice Center is posted to prohibit firearms. Holmes said there will still be a security guard at the Philip S. Miller building and the metal detector will remain there because there may be times when they need to use it. However, for the most part, it will remain inactive. Douglas County Sheriff Dave Weaver posted a statement on Facebook Jan. 27 in response to citizens’ questions, which informed people about the county’s current policy and expressed his support for Castle Rock’s efforts to repeal its open-carry ban. “As the Sheriff of Douglas County, I want you to know I support the repeal to ban open carry in Castle Rock. Even though each city and town (for example, town council) is responsible for enforcing and upholding their own ordinances, I do have an opinion on such matters. “I do not though have the right to commu-

nicate to a town or city what they may or may not do or can or cannot do. As your Sheriff, my department and I are strictly responsible for the unincorporated areas of Douglas County only. We are responsible to enforce the laws that are passed for the county and the citizens in that county. The current ordinance that is in place to ban open carry in certain areas of Castle Rock (buildings, parks, trails, etc.) which is where the conversation started is not something I agree with and I definitely support the decision to repeal the ban altogether. “It is also important to note that in the unincorporated areas of Douglas County where I am the Sheriff, parks, trails and open space, open carry is permissible. Open carry is also allowed in county buildings with the exception of the justice center and a few places where it says `no weapons.’ As your current Sheriff, I will continue to support the Constitution and uphold my oath to the office I represent.” On Jan. 28, Castle Rock Town Council repealed its 13-year-old open-carry ban by a 4-3 vote. A citizens’ referendum effort officially began the day after, but if it isn’t successful, the repeal is scheduled to go in effect Feb. 27, allowing open carry in all town-owned buildings and facilities, except municipal court and in areas that are within 1,000 feet of a school. A majority of Castle Rock police officers
how the consent item appeared The repeal of the 10-year-old county open-carry ban (limited to public places) appeared as letter (R) on the consent agenda during the Dec. 17 Douglas County Board of County Commissioners business meeting with the following description: “Resolution Concerning the Use of Douglas County Owned or Operated Buildings, Facilities, Parks, Trails and Open Space; Barbara Drake — Deputy County Manager.” With the new resolution, four prior resolutions, adopted by county commissioners between the years of 2003 and 2005 and pertaining to uses on county properties were consolidated and streamlined into one resolution (R013-153). One dealt with smoking bans; one with skateboarding activities; another specifically with parks, trails and open space regulations such as use of alcohol, treatment of wildlife, swimming, camping, pets, etc.; and a fourth with firearms. None of those items were specifically mentioned on the agenda outline. During the streamlining process, nothing that was not pertaining to the topic of firearms was changed for the newly created resolution.
expressed they wanted the ban to stay in place — as did the town’s Public Safety Commission, which advises the council on police and fire matters. In Douglas County, Sgt. Ron Hanavan, Douglas County sheriff’s spokesman, said the commissioners didn’t ask for the department’s input before making their decision. “They didn’t ask, and we wouldn’t expect them to,” he said. “In this scenario, it’s basically what the board (wants).”

Effort to repeal gun measure rejected Bill targeted law requiring background checks By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Another gun battle took center stage at the Capitol on Feb. 3, as a Senate committee rejected a Republican effort to undo a key Democrat-backed gun measure from last year. Testimony on a bill that sought to repeal a law that requires background checks on all gun sales and transfers in the state lasted more than six hours before the Senate’s State, Veteran’s and Military Affairs Committee killed the measure. The bill failed following a 3-2 party-line vote. Democrats and other supporters of universal background checks say they are working and that the law has made it more difficult for guns to get into the wrong hands. But Sen. George Rivera, RPueblo, the repeal bill’s sponsor, argued that the new law would have done nothing to prevent recent mass shootings, such as the ones that occurred in 2012
inside an Aurora theater and at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School. “If people intend on doing something evil, they’re going to do it,” Rivera said. “That’s just a fact.” Last year, Democrats succeeded in passing bills that expanded gun background checks, and put in place a requirement that high-capacity ammunition magazines be limited to 15 rounds. Republicans are also trying to repeal the latter measure. There was fallout as a result of those efforts as three Democratic senators either lost their seats or resigned as a result of gun vote-motivated recall elections. Rivera won his Senate seat last fall in a recall election over former Democratic Sen. Angela Giron, making him a rare Republican to represent Pueblo in the Senate. “My constituents in Pueblo sent me here to give a message: They don’t like the gun laws,” Rivera said. Rivera told the committee that he was not against background checks. His bill would have required only licensed gun dealers to conduct background checks, which had already been a part of state
law prior to last year’s measure being enacted. Rivera’s bill would have done away with the new requirement that background checks be conducted for private and online sales, and it would have gotten rid of the fees that individuals are required to pay for their background checks. Several supporters of Rivera’s bill said that the new requirements are burdensome to law-abiding citizens. “As long as Democrats are in office they are going to be going after our Second Amendment Rights,” said Joe Neville of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners. But supporters of the new background checks pointed to results. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation says that 104 people who tried buying guns last year failed background checks because they had criminal records. That’s a testament to the background checks law expansion, supporters said. And if even one of those background checks stops just one criminal from getting their hands on a gun, the law is worth it, they said. “The value of one life is worth the inconvenience of the others,” said Sen. Irene Aguilar, D-Denver.
Dave Hoover, a longtime police officer whose nephew, A.J. Boik, was killed in the Aurora theater shooting, was one of several people to speak in opposition of Rivera’s repeal effort. Hoover said that Coloradans should do “anything we can do to prevent gun violence” and that he doesn’t want “anybody else to get that phone call,” which informed him that his nephew had been shot. “It’s about accountability,” Hoover said. “It’s about holding gun holders responsible for what they do when they get rid of their firearms.” Though emotional at times, the hearing lacked the intensity of last year’s gun bill committee hearings. In fact, Rivera and other Republican senators thanked Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, the committee chairman, for his handling of the hearing. Still, Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, a committee member, said that Democrats who pushed for the gun laws still aren’t paying attention to voters who didn’t appreciate their efforts last year. “You didn’t listen close enough because there are three senators who aren’t here,” Harvey said.
LEGISLATIVE BrIEfS Logo vote bill rejected
It looks like Colorado’s new state logo is here to stay, after Democrats on a House committee rejected a bill that would allow the new symbol to go to the voters. The logo — which was initiated by Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office — features a green, snow-capped mountain with the letters “CO.” Businesses looking to tout their Colorado roots through marketing efforts will be able to use the new logo without having to pay state royalties. Rep. Bob Rankin, R-Carbondale, told the House Business, Labor, Economic and Workforce Development Committee during a Feb. 4 hearing that Coloradans ought
to be able to vote on the new logo, citing criticism from those who don’t care for it. The committee rejected Rankin’s effort, following a party-line vote of 6-5.
Youth tanning bed restrictions advance
A tougher version of a bill that would restrict children from using tanning beds has cleared its first legislative hurdle. House Bill 1054 would ban all persons under 18 from using tanning beds. The bill is motivated by studies that show tanning beds can contain cancer-causing carcinogens. Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster, has sponsored similar measures the
last couple of years, though this year’s bill is tougher than ones she had previously introduced. It bans all youths from using tanning beds, regardless of whether they have a parent’s permission. The bill passed the House Health, Insurance and Environment Committee on Feb. 6, following a party-line vote of 6-5. The bill now heads to another House committee before it receives a full vote in the House.
Gun permit measure fails
A Republican effort to roll back permit requirements for those who carry concealed weapons died in a House commit-
tee on Feb. 4. House Bill 1041, sponsored by Reps. Chris Holbert, R-Parker and Jared Wright, R-Fruita, would have done away with Colorado statute that prohibits the carrying of a concealed weapon without a permit. The bill suffered an expected party-line defeat in the House Judiciary Committee. The bill was another failed attempt by Republican lawmakers to roll back a Democratic gun law platform that Democrats believe better protects the public from harm. Republicans disagree and claim that those efforts are burdensome to lawabiding citizens.

Program a window into future Area high school students covet long-term assignment By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dr. Tiffany Richason was among Sky Ridge Medical Center’s first volunteers. A little more than 10 years later, she’s back — working there as a physician and mentoring young women who may follow her path. “It’s really fun for me to be able to kind of be on the reciprocating end and hopefully be an inspiration to others,” said Richason, an obstetrician and gynecologist. “That was me a few years ago. I really appreciated the doctors who didn’t brush me aside.” Richason is among hundreds of younger people who’ve participated in the Lone Tree hospital’s volunteer program — an opportunity that’s become highly coveted and competitive among area high school students. The approximately 50 volunteers selected each year typically are high-performing students from Douglas County, Cherry Creek and Littleton school districts who often volunteer there throughout their high school years. While the hours apply to the students’ required community service, most hope to devote their lives to the medical field. Because many high school students don’t know the layers of responsibility within a hospital, volunteering at Sky Ridge can open the doors of possibility. “Sometimes students have a perception it’s (working as) a doctor or a nurse,” Sky Ridge spokeswoman Linda Watson said. “The health care arena is complex and changing. We showcase to kids the real magnitude of options.” Sky Ridge employees include chefs, nutritionists, pharmacists and computer technicians, with entire divisions dedicated to finances, human resources and physician relations. “For someone who’s not sure, this gives them a really broad experience,” volunteer services director John Penn said. “What I’m hoping is they find their passion, that this will catapult them into their careers.” Lizzie Stephani, a senior at Arapahoe High School, began volunteering the summer after her freshman year. Primarily interested in obstetrics and gynecology, she was one of the first volunteers accepted in labor and deliver.

said. No red flag was ignored. “Even if a kid made a comment, ‘I just wish I wasn’t alive’, boom, we did a suicide assessment,” Young said. “We’d cancel our appointments for the day. We didn’t ignore anything.” At about 900-to-1, DCSD’s ratio of students to counselors is well outside the 250-to-1 level recommended by the American School Counselor Association. But that figure doesn’t include
Arapahoe High School senior Lizzie Stephani has been part of Sky Ridge Medical Center’s junior volunteer program for four years. Courtesy photo She’s witnessed cesarean sections, vaginal deliveries and robotic hysterectomies, often working with Richason. She now is a volunteer trainer for the hospital’s emergency. The exposure has narrowed her career focus. Stephani believes she wants to become a surgeon working in women’s services. “I’m still 17,” she said. “There are still a lot of years ahead, so I’m trying to be open minded.” Rock Canyon High School junior Lauren Yehle also has advanced to become a volunteer trainer. Her goal is to help improve Sky Ridge’s already high patient care rat-
other mental health workers employed by the school district. Adding psychologists and social workers to the total halves that ratio to 452-to-1. DCSD’s current plans call for new training, but not adding staff. In March, campus security will be the first district staff members to undergo training in “Mental Health First Aid,” a program offered through the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network that shows how to spot a developing emotional or mental health crisis and steps to take until help arrives or the crisis passes. “What we really want to do is build a community of safety,” said Colette Hohnbaum, student wellness program manager.

ings, also known as HCAHPS. The ratings are based on items both large and small, including ambient noise and call response times. Yehle and her fellow volunteers often can fulfill small requests — filling a glass of water, opening blinds or simply talking to a patient — saving the nurses’ time. As a result, Yehle spends concentrated time with patients, some of whom are far from family and friends. Some seek an open ear, others offer career and life advice. “Almost every day I’ll come home and reflect on some of the conversations I’ve had,” she said. “It’s almost like a mortality check.”
“It takes that concerted effort.” DCSD prides itself on its safety protocols, particularly a $674,000 school marshal program introduced at the start of the school year it says is unique in the country. “From our board of education, superintendent and on down, we’ve identified safety as our number one priority in the school district moving forward,” said DCSD special education director Jason Germain, adding that includes both physical and psychological safety. Its efforts include cross-agency relationships to more quickly identify troubled students, text-a-tip and other student programs designed to encourage peer support and reporting, anti-bullying, suicide prevention and constant teacher and staff training. Its efforts extend well beyond school walls and throughout Douglas County. “If the entire community works together, that’s how we keep our kids safe,” Hohnbaum said. Counselors, whose job duties are myriad, need all the help they can get. Young was responsible on average for about 400 high school students each year. A third of her time was devoted to a child’s social/emotional needs, another third to academic concerns and another to career counseling. Counselors also are sometimes asked to supervise the lunch room, and proctor tests — taking more time away from their primary duties. It was much more than a 40-hour-a-week job. “You never felt you could do what you needed to do working individually with students and meeting the needs of parents,” Young said. “I looked for those kids who were struggling. But it was hard.” Parent Laura Mutton, president of a community group called Strong Schools Coalition, wishes more emphasis were placed on mental health. “We’re spending $675,000 a year to have policemen walk around our elementary schools,” she said. “As a parent, I don’t feel my child’s any safer because of this. I question that priority over mental health. “I’m afraid these services are cut so far back it’s hard for them to identify kids in a timely manner,” said Mutton, whose son knew Robert Klamo, the Mountain Vista High School student who killed his mother and then himself in their Highlands Ranch home Jan. 31. “How can we help them ahead of time so they don’t get to the point where they’re falling apart?” Young knows she and her fellow counselors provided a critical service. “I’ve had kids come back and tell me, `I really was going to kill myself, but you were there and you talked to me’,” she said. For her, the job is an ongoing effort to pay it forward. “I had a counselor that really helped me when I was in high school,” Young said. “If it hadn’t been for those significant people in my school, I don’t know where I’d be.”

completion tentatively scheduled for December. Crews will also tear down an old principal’s office — added after the original construction — that required the removal of an arched front window, which Mariner said was a “character-defining feature” that will be restored. The total cost for phase one is $167,000, including a $100,000 grant from the state historic fund.

“The way the car entered, it was going pretty slow and it went over the curb and sidewalk first,” he said. “Where it went, the seats were off to one side and it went down a big path.” The mother told investigators that she turned the vehicle off before going inside, therefore police were unable to charge her with leaving a running vehicle unattended. It’s unclear whether the girl had to press on the brake pedal before putting the car into drive. Police believe the incident was not intentional. “The mom was able to see her vehicle enter the building and started yelling at
Originally built as a schoolhouse in 19141915, the building has morphed into a venue for performing arts, fitness classes and church meetings. An old schoolroom on the second floor doubles as a museum. The rehabilitation project is expected to broaden the number of uses, Mariner says, helping to lift the profile of a central gathering spot that has long been underutilized. “Instead of pretending it’s not there, we want to feature it and honor its legacy,” she said. “Its presence on Mainstreet and its role hasn’t been capitalized on.” That argument was further bolstered when the daughter and reached inside,” Coleman said. “The daughter put her foot on the brake and the mom took the keys.” There was no structural damage to the building and a construction team placed a slab of plywood over the gaping hole. The DMV opened for business the following day. A cost estimate for the damage was not available. The 10-year-old, who was “pretty upset” at the scene, faces one count of careless driving, Coleman said, adding it will be a “learning lesson.” The age of 10 is the youngest in which a person can be charged with a crime in Colorado. The police department can only recommend charges. Depending on what the town attorney and district attorney’s office decides, the girl could be processed through a municipal court system designed for children, Coleman said.

Tess Laeh, 25, recently appeared on four episodes of the SyFy channel hit, “Face Off.” The 25-year-old special effects make-up artist moved from Parker to Seattle last month to open her own business. Photos by Nicole WIlder/Syfy, courtesy of NBC Universal

SCARING TO DREAM
Parker woman appeared on four episodes of SyFy hit ‘Face Off ’ By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Tess Laeh can appreciate the irony of her first week of school coinciding with the series premiere of the SyFy network hit, “Face Off.” The school she attended, Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program in Pennsylvania, specializes in the very art featured on the reality television show. It pits 15 artists against one another in a
weekly contest to see who can create the most realistic costume out of make-up normally reserved for movie sets. With a few fellow students on the first season of “Face Off,” Laeh and more than a dozen classmates would gather to watch each week. Appearing on the show instantaneously became a “pipe dream,” and Laeh was among those who vowed to one day share their creations on the national stage. Three auditions later, Laeh got her wish after concocting the “most horrific thing for me,” which was a cosmetic masterpiece that depicted a large spider growing out of her own head. The legs grew upside down, forming a hideous, disjointed crown. She called it “Spider Queen,” and it landed her a spot on the show’s sixth season.
Having taken an interest in special effects make-up only five years earlier, receiving an invitation to compete alongside industry professionals was a huge step in her young career. In one episode, Laeh partnered with Dan Phillips, a make-up artist who worked on “The Hobbit,” to create a fungus-ridden alien. Another contestant worked on “Sharknado,” the SyFy movie that became an instant cult-classic after airing last summer. The chance to compete on “Face Off” was quite a leap for someone who had been working in a mannequin factory. “It was really good exposure for my career,” she said. “Obviously, I wish it would have lasted longer.” Face Off continues on Page 18

Painted Bread: A portrait of an artist Kahlo’s tumultuous life with a splash and swirl of color By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@ colorado communitymedia.com Soft guitar music plays as lights bring the patio of a Mexican stucco home, painted in soft terracotta tones, into focus. An ornate picture frame hangs in a central spot and framed is a colorful Frida Kahlo self-portrait — or is it? Frida, played by the elegant Karen Slack, smirks, raises her eyebrows and establishes eye contact with a tour guide — and with the audience — as the guide (Martha Harmon Pardee) gushes about Kahlo’s “spicy” diary. Slack’s resemblance to Kahlo is uncanny and the audience is hooked. About 10 years ago, local playwright Melissa Lucero McCarl introduced her biographical play about legendary Mexican painter
Frida Kahlo, “Painted Bread,” to Denver audiences — with Slack in the lead. The Aurora Fox Theatre Company has given it a thoughtful, polished restaging, directed by Warren Sherrill, which runs through Feb. 23. Kahlo’s turbulent life — with famous muralist Diego Rivera and with others — was filled with pain, ongoing drama and recognition for her skills as a painter. She is one of the best-known female painters who ever lived and there are 200 works attributed to her, painted in folkloric style. Fifty-five of those are self-portraits. She had said she was alone so much she was a subject she knew best. (As a side note: A Kahlo portrait used for promotion of a collection of modern masters is due to arrive soon at the Denver Art Museum.) Actor Paul Borillo fleshes out a staged portrait of womanizer Diego Rivera, who was established as a world-renowned painter when the much younger Kahlo met and married him. He was also a Communist and she joined the party as well. Their relation-

ship was tumultuous, with both involved in other affairs as they divorced and then both remarried. Because of polio and a severe accident, she was physically frail. One of her legs was deformed and she covered it with long, colorful Mexican dresses. (Linda Morken’s costumes are detailed and eyecatching in this regard.) Ongoing surgeries and illnesses interfered with her painting and personal life in general, but the play conveys her determination to live fully. Her last diary entry read: “I hope the end is joyful — and I hope never to return — Frida.” “Painted Bread” is beautifully produced, skillfully acted and offers insight into an iconic era in Mexican and world art.

In which Princess Winnifred prevails An impassable test portrayed on Legend High School stage
IF YOU GO “Once Upon a Mattress” plays Feb. 22 to March 1 at Legend High School, 22219 Hilltop Rd., Parker. Performances: 7 p.m. Feb. 22, 27, 28, March 1; 2 p.m. Feb. 22. Tickets: $10/$8, at www.seatyourself.biz/legendtitans or at the door.
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Legend High School in Parker will utilize a cast of 51 and a tech crew of 42 as its theater department presents “Once Upon a Mattress,” the musical by Mary Rodgers, Jay Thompson, Marshall Barer and Dean Fuller. Dr. Denina Brown directs. Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s “Princess and the Pea,” the show started a career in 1959 for comedienne Carol Burnett who originally created the role of Princess Winnifred the Woebegone. The audience will be familiar with this funny tale of the domineering Queen Agravain (Shannon Cooper), who insists that any upstart princess who wants to marry her pampered son, Prince Dauntless (Alec Smith), must first pass an impossible test she creates. No one passes. And no one else in the kingdom can marry until Dauntless does, she decrees.
King Sextimus (Jake Taylor) is mute, due to a spell cast on him, but communicates pretty well through pantomime, with help from his Jester (Clarity Engel). Sir Harry (Jared Beckstead), who wants to marry Lady Larkin (Oaklee Pyfer), impatiently goes in search of yet another princess. Enter a bedraggled Princess Winnifred (Lauren Dolan) — from the swamps — who has just swum the castle moat. Dauntless is intrigued and calls her “Fred” and Queen Agravain is clearly displeased. The charming musical is filled with whimsy, music and song and dance numbers —suitable for all but the toddler set. Student Rochele Mac designed the set under direction by James Dykstra while musical direction is by Dr. Kurt Stroman.

Ralston are anxiously awaiting their first guests at their recently purchased Monkswell Manor as a snowstorm builds outside. Arvada Center Scenic Designer Brian Mallgrave has created his usual finely detailed set — the parlor of an aging country mansion, rendered in sepia tones. The radio mentions a criminal at large. … “I wonder what they’ll be like?” Mollie (Devon James) wonders to Giles (Josh Hartwell). The bell rings and they greet a flighty Christopher Wren (Thadd Krueger), soon followed by a crusty Mrs. Boyle (Kathy Brady in her first Arvada appearance) who is immediately critical of lack of
staff. (The pair plans to run it themselves.) Her scowling presence adds discomfort to every scene she appears in. How does she connect with the developing story? In classic Christie style each character brings one more piece of the puzzle to the mix. Murder happens, as does resolution. In between, Christie takes the audience on twists and turns as we meet the other guests: eccentric Italian Mr. Paravicini, played to the hilt by veteran actor John Arp; very British Major Metcalf (Colin Alexander) and aggressive Miss Casewell (Megan Van De Hay). Christie’s script gives each a time to shine and the sold-out Ar-

Laeh, 25, was voted off Feb. 4 after four episodes, partly because of her difficulty with time management resulting from a relentless pursuit of perfection on every project. But devoted fans of the show won’t soon forget her quirky personality, winning smile and dynamic concepts. The experience further instilled confidence in her abilities. Last month, Tess — the name by which she was called throughout the show — moved from Parker, where her husband, Jonathan, grew up, to Seattle to start a busi-
ness with friends. It makes accessories for “cosplayers,” an esoteric community of people who dress in extravagant character costumes to attend conventions. Make-up artists are a close-knit group and Laeh made connections in Hollywood that could work to her advantage in the future. Her ultimate goal is to be a make-up artist for one of the recently-announced Star Wars films being made by The Walt Disney Company. Oddly enough, her husband, an expert in computer-generated imagery, or CGI, will become her primary competition in the coming years.

Laborda came off the bench to help spark a 10-0 run to start the fourth quarter that triggered the win in the Feb. 7 game in Legend’s Coliseum. “I went to Pondo my freshman year and transferred here,” said Laborda. “The whole game I was thinking, I don’t want to lose, I don’t want to lose. I wanted to do whatever I could so we didn’t lose.” The game was tied at 35-all heading into the fourth quarter. Legend’s Ian ReissHodges hit two free throws. Then Laborda, a 6-foot-4 senior who relieved 6-8 senior Zach Mihalicz, worked around Ponderosa’s 6-10 Jonathan Barnes for two baskets as the Titans built a 45-35 lead before the Mustangs managed to score with 4:16 left in the game. Laborda’s first bucket in the Titans early fourth quarter spree was text book as he went around Barnes for the layup and was fouled. He did miss the ensuing free throw but less than a minute later added another basket with a strong inside move. “I went in when Zach got into foul trouble, I had to work the big guy and get him out of the post,” said Laborda. “When the ball came to me on the wing that’s my spot. That’s my move, just dribble right and take it in. I saw it and took the chance. It paid off.” Legend outscored Pondo 17-6 in the fourth quarter and the Titans (14-5, 6-1)
remained tied for second place in the Continental League. Elijah Cherrington had 17 points to lead the Titans. Monroe Porter finished with seven points and a team high seven rebounds. “They shot 50 percent in the first half and a lot of those were layups in the second quarter to get the lead,” said Legend coach Kevin Boley. “We tighten up defensively and held them to 25.5 percent shooting in the second half. “Then guys were more aggressive going to the basket, especially Elijah and Ian got a couple fouls there and Curtis made a huge play against Barnes. We were more aggressive. The truth is when we took Zach out and kind of spread the floor, it was harder for them to guard us.” Legend made only 24 of the 40 free throws it attempted but hit five of six attempts from the charity stripe in the final 1:50 of the game. Porter sank four straight free throws after the Mustangs had pulled to within seven points in the final minute. “It was a close game and going into the fourth I knew we could do it,” said Laborda. “It just depended on if we wanted to do it. EC (Cherrington) stepped up and we got to the line. We kept driving, got the fouls and got the free throws.” Ponderosa coach Mike Gibbs suspected his team didn’t feel that it could do it. “The fourth quarter was horrible,” admitted Gibbs. “That was the worst quarter of basketball we’ve played all year. Hats off to Legend, they beat us. They are a good basketball team. Unfortunately we didn’t play hard in the fourth quarter. We just kind of gave up. We laid down and said oh well we’re not good enough so let’s give up. “The team needs to know that. When you play, good things happen. When you decide not to play, bad things happen. I’ve got to coach better, that’s on me. I’ve got a

The Titans played at Douglas County Feb. 11 and entertain Highlands Ranch Feb. 14. Mountain Vista comes to the Coliseum Feb. 18 before a league finale at Chaparral Feb. 21. Barnes had 14 points to pace Pondo against the Titans and the Class 4A Mus-
tangs (9-9, 1-6) hosted Heritage Feb. 11 and entertained Littleton Feb. 14 before a non-league game against Arapahoe Feb. 15. Ponderosa ends the regular season at Highlands Ranch Feb. 18 and plays Regis Jesuit Feb. 21 at home. “We have to bounce back,” said Barnes. “We’ll be all right. We’re a good basketball team. We’re young. I’ve only got two guys on the team with varsity experience.”
No sweat: Ponderosa wins league title Chaparral forfeits 13 matches after scheduling issues By Jim Benton
jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Ponderosa won its 20th consecutive Continental League wrestling championship and the Mustangs collected their 167th straight league dual-match victory without working up much of a sweat. Ponderosa defeated Chaparral, 78-6 in the controversial matchup for the league title between the Continental League’s National and American division winners. Because of a conflict caused by a rescheduled basketball game and possible communication confusion, Chaparral didn’t have any varsity wrestlers compete at Ponderosa and forfeited 13 matches. The lone Wolverines points came when the Mustangs didn’t have a heavyweight wrestler and earned six points for the forfeit. The match was originally scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 6 at Chaparral but was supposedly moved to Wednesday, Feb. 5 because of a junior varsity basketball tournament played Feb. 7 and 8 at Chaparral. So the boys varsity basketball game against Douglas County was played Feb. 6, which bumped the wrestling match to Feb. 5. ThunderRidge athletic director Bob Nelson, the Continental League’s wrestling czar, had to step in to resolve the resulting mix-up of when and where the match would be held. There are two sides to every story. “I talked with Tim Ottmann (Ponderosa Athletic Director) and Corey McNeills (Mustangs wrestling coach) early in the season,” said Chaparral Athletic Director Don Nelson who is the brother of Bob Nelson. “We had the match on Wednesday
and Tim calls me about 10 o’clock in the morning Wednesday and said they had it on Thursday. I said, `Tim you and I talked about this’ and he goes `I never communicated it to Corey.’ “It put us in a bad situation for our kids already shut down to get down to weight and ready to wrestle. Cutting weight isn’t the easiest thing for these kids to do. We even talked to CHSAA and even though we didn’t wrestle the night before we asked if they would concede to giving us additional weight. They said they couldn’t do that. It was against national federation rules. They (Pondo) refused to come over here on Wednesday because they said they were not on weight. Our kids weren’t going to make weight on Thursday. We felt it was communicated and Tim he says he remembers the conversation but did not communicate to Corey so their kids weren’t ready.” Ottmann was ready to explain the Mustangs’ side of the disagreement. “Don did mention the fact that he wanted to change the date of the dual to me at our athletic director’s meeting in December,” recalled Ottmann. “I didn’t think much of it at the time and truly thought he would follow up with me by email. Time went by and neither Corey nor myself ever got written confirmation of the date change. “Typically either the opposing coaches or the athletic secretaries would confirm any kind of change but that didn’t happen either. So long story short, we found out we had a date conflict at noon on Wednesday, Feb. 5.” Ottmann expounded more. “I immediately called Don and explained the situation to him and told him we would prefer to not wrestle that night because many of our kids would not be on weight,” said Ottmann. “I offered several options to him including Thursday afternoon, Saturday night and Monday night,

Four wrestlers in each weight class at the various regional tourneys will stamp berths into the state tournament that is scheduled for Feb. 20-22 at the Pepsi Center. In the latest Class 5A team rankings compiled by On The Mat, Ponderosa was ranked fourth, Cherry Creek fifth and Chaparral seventh. Ponderosa was the Class 5A runner-up last season. “We’re peaking at the right time,” said Ponderosa coach Corey McNellis after the Mustangs wrapped up their 20th consecutive Continental League wrestling title.
Ponderosa, Mountain Vista and Heritage will be among the 16 teams competing in the Class 5A Region 1 state-qualifying tournament at Cherokee Trail High School. Seven south metro schools will be at the Region 2 meet at Coronado High School in Colorado Springs. Arapahoe, Castle View, Douglas County, Highlands Ranch, Legend, Littleton and ThunderRidge will compose almost half the field. Cherry Creek goes to the Region 3 tourney at Fort Collins High School while Chaparral and Rock Canyon will compete in the Region 4 meet at Bear Creek High School. Valor Christian will be at the Class 4A Region 1 tournament at Broomfield High School and Lutheran’s wrestlers will travel to Northeastern Junior College for the Class 2A Region 3 tournament.
all at Chap, but he did not want to change the date and insisted that we come that night. “Since we could not come to an agreement, I called Bob Nelson and asked him to come up with a solution. After talking to me and Don at length, he made the decision to have the dual on Thursday at Ponderosa. Had he made the decision to wrestle Wednesday, we would have been there with a full team and bumped a few wrestlers up a weight class. “When I got to weigh-ins Thursday, I found that Chaparral only brought four kids, two JV wrestlers and two varsity wres-
tlers. They wrested the two JV kids but decided not to wrestle the varsity kids, one of which we were going to forfeit to anyway (the heavyweight).” In the end, it was parents from both schools who were left grappling with their feelings. “It was not comfortable no matter whether you are on Ponderosa’s side or if you are on Chaparral’s side,” said Don Nelson. “Trust me, we had mad parents and I know at Ponderosa there were some because we didn’t have everybody there. I had a lot of mad parents because Ponderosa did not show up here on Wednesday.”

Hot battles heat up water Title chases tight at Continental League meet By Tom Munds
tmunds@ coloradocommunitymedia.com
Athletes churned up the water of the Heritage High School pool to the roar of a capacity crowd at the Feb. 8 finals of the Continental League Girls Swimming Meet. The league championship event served as the final opportunity to post times fast enough, and scores high enough, to earn a spot at the Class 5A State Swimming and ment) Diving Meet Feb. 14 and 15 at the Veteran’s Memorial Aquatics Center in Thornton. ment) The Feb. 8 activities wrapped up a twoday event. The swimming preliminaries and finals place take Feb. 7 and 8 at Heritage, while the competition for the league diving championship was held the morning of Feb. 8 at the Littleton High School pool, where more than 30 divers took their turn on the board. After the final scores were tallied, McKensi Austin of Regis had won the diving title with 412 points, while Kaitlin Costello of Castle View was second with 403.55 points and Tori Ritter of Rock Canyon was third with 350.40 points. Attention then switched to the swimming finals, where 177 swimmers competed in eight individual events and three relays. In one of the closest races of the day, Annie Ochitwa of ThunderRidge won the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 24.24 seconds and Rock Canyon’s Abigail Kochevar was second with a time of 24.25 seconds. Another photo finish occurred in the 100-yard breaststroke as Mason Dahman of ThunderRidge posted a winning time of 1:09.30, touching up just before Paige West of Highlands Ranch came in at 1:09.50. In a tight team race as well, Regis assured its overall win by posting a firstplace finish in the final event of the day,

the 400-yard freestyle relay. The Raiders won the league title with 503 points, while Rock Canyon was second with 457 points, Chaparral finished third with 449 points and Heritage was fourth with 386 points. “We had some great swims that helped some of our girls be ready to swim fast at state,” said Rock Canyon coach Tim Byers. “We had some girls swim fast in their best event. Also, I know the Heritage coach and I both have some girls swimming events that are not their best event. Personally, I did this to keep the girls competing and not to pressure them to go (too) fast at league and then go fast in the same event at state.”
Legend’s Shilo Syddall swims the backstroke leg of the championship 200-yard medley relay at the Continental League Swimming and Diving Meet finals Feb. 8 at Heritage High School. She swam a 29.02 and her team finished sixth in the event. Photo by Tom Munds Chaparral’s third-place finish was highlighted by the meet’s only two-time individual champion, sophomore Kaylee Gassen, who won both the 100- and 200-meter freestyle events. “Most of our girls performed as expected but we had a couple of surprises and, in those cases, they were good surprises,” said Chaparral coach Steve Graves. “It gets the girls excited and it is a pressure situation to get them warmed up for state. “We were positioned well as the meet wound down. … Of course, we always want to be higher in the standings but we are happy where we are.” Heritage senior Mary Hinton smiled as she talked about her day in the water. Hinton, who swam in four events for the Eagles, finished second in the 200-yard freestyle and third in the 100-yard freestyle event. She also swam on the second-place Eagles 200-yard freestyle relay team and

on the sixth-place 400-yard freestyle relay team. “Swimming has been my sport since I was a 5-year-old and I simply love it,” the senior said. “It has been a great experience swimming for Heritage for four years but it is a little sad today because this is the last time in my high school career I’ll swim in this pool.” She said she is looking forward to state where she will swim her best events, the 200-freestyle and the 500-meter freestyle. “You are in the water for quite a while in the 500 and I (have to) keep my mind clear and focus on swimming my best race,” she said. “I listen to music before the race but, in the water, it is complete focus on the race. I do notice those around me but I focus on swimming my best and swimming my race.” Hinton’s coach, Tom Byorick, was named the league’s coach of the year.
SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF FEb 10, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Doing something nice for others is typical of the generous Arian. but be prepared for some jealous types who might try to question one of your more recent acts of kindness. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You’re eager to take on new responsibilities. but before you do, you might want to check out exactly what would be required of you so that you don’t face any “surprises” later. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) It might be best to put off an important decision until a fluctuating situation becomes more stable. Recently received news could help resolve a long-standing family matter.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) If you still have a problem getting that information gap closed, you might consider asking a higher authority to resolve the matter, leaving you free to move on to another project. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) A family matter needs to be dealt with at the start of the week. Once it’s resolved, the big Cat can devote more attention to that new opportunity that seems to hold so much potential. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Pay attention to those niggling doubts. They could be warning you not to make any major decisions until you’ve checked them out -- especially where money matters might be involved. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A business venture might need more of your attention than you are able to provide. Consider asking a trusted friend or family member to help you work through this time crunch. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A more-positive aspect helps you get a clearer focus on how to handle your time so that you can deal with several responsibilities that are just now showing up on your schedule. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A very close friend (you know who that is!) has advice that could help you work through a confusing situation. So put your pride aside and ask for it. You’ll be glad you did. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A workplace situation could turn a bit tense. The best way to handle it is to confront it and deal with it openly. Doing so can help reveal the underlying reasons for the problem. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A colleague’s remarks appear to be especially cutting. but don’t waste your time or your energy trying to deal with the situation. You have more important things to do. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Support for your work comes as a surprise from someone you thought was critical or, at least, indifferent. Your spouse or partner has big plans for the weekend.

Mountain Vista ices twin victories Golden Eagles win back-to-back games to improve to 16-1 By Tom Munds
tmunds@ coloradocommunitymedia.com The Mountain Vista hockey team displayed spectacular skills at both ends of the rink this past weekend as the Golden Eagles topped Heritage, 7-1, and Chatfield, 15-0, for their 15th and 16th wins of the season. “We feel we are peaking at the right time with the playoffs coming up soon,” said coach Lev Cohen, prior to the 15-0 win. “Our team is strong at both ends of the ice. So far this season, the offense is averaging about nine goals a game and the defense has made it tough for the opponent to score. We also have good depth and, when everyone is healthy, we have four strong lines to put on the ice.” The lone blemish on this season’s record came Jan. 9 when the Golden Eagles (16-1) lost 4-3 in overtime to Ralston Valley (160).
