Color jumps out in show

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Invite a young friend to join you in a trip to the Depot Art Gallery this month. The exhibit, “Well RED,” will make for a good game of “find what’s red in the paintings and other artwork.” Meant as a Valentine’s Day connection, that title actually leads in many directions other than romantic. Think Converse high-tops, for instance, or a ribbon hatband — or a rusting old truck. Of course, there are flowers of all sorts, which one would expect, and birds: cardinal and red-wing blackbird … The old Temple Bar is painted bright red and invites one in for a pint. There are images of red rock formations, abstract designs, fall foliage, red roofs and several appealing stacks of antique books with red leather bindings The jurist, Denver artist Camille Scott, who exhibits a handsome architectural drawing just inside the front door, named award winners: Color continues on Page 5

A state representative, a city council member and a man with more national than local political experience tried to win over local Republicans in a forum on Feb. 13, each making the case why they would be the best county commissioner. Littleton City Council member Phil Cernanec, Rep. Kathleen Conti and Paulo Sibaja, chairman of the Latino National Republican Coalition Colorado, are all Republicans and so far the only candidates for District 1, which encompasses Bow Mar, Cherry Hills Village, Columbine Valley, Englewood, Littleton, Sheridan, Centennial west of Colorado Boulevard and unincorporated northern Arapahoe County. Cernanec first emerged on the local political scene in 2006, when he was elected to the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District board of directors. He was first elected to council in 2009, and was the mayor in 2014 and 2015. “I’m a strong cheerleader for our community,” Cernanec said. “… We need to take the burden off of business formation Forum continues on Page 5

School district earns award for serving English learners Program improvements lead to recognition, $30,000 grant from Colorado DOE

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The program for English learners in Littleton Public Schools has made great strides over the last decade, while at the same time experiencing a big jump in the number of languages native to its students. Mandy Leensvaart, who heads the program for LPS, told the board of education on Feb. 10 that among the 724 English learners throughout the district, about 5 percent of its population, there are currently 62 languages spoken. During the 2006-07 school year, there were just 43. Spanish is by far the most common, she said, but the range is across the world. The district changed how it teaches those students four years ago, and the program went from being rated

adequate to excellent in just a year. This year, that work earned the program an award from the Colorado Department of Education, which came with a $30,000 grant. “We did a lot of professional development with it, and we took the kids on some field trips,” said Leensvaart. “Some of the kids had never been to the zoo before.” The key, she said, is what they call “co-teaching.” Instead of pulling the kids out for a separate session with a language specialist, the specialist goes into the classroom. That way the kids get all the same curriculum as everyone else, and the social aspect of school is not compromised. “Kids learn a lot from each other, good, bad or whatever,” said Leensvaart. To help make that work from a staffing perspective, certain schools on northern areas of the district have been designated as “program” schools: Centennial, East and Field elementaries, Goddard Middle School and Littleton High School. It’s a matter of demographics, explained Leensvaart. That’s where most of the lower-income families are, and data shows they need the most help. Research shows that

by the age of 3, there is a 30 million-word gap between poor families and their middle-class counterparts. While the district can’t force families to send their children to one of the program schools, Leensvaart said most do, and the district provides free transportation. About 137 kids are being served in other schools. Board member Robert Reichardt noted the board places a priority on spreading diversity around the district. “There’s a tradeoff around segregating people to certain places,” he said, while acknowledging a lack of resources to fully staff every school for just a few students. Leensvaart said it takes most kids about three years to go from zero to proficient in English, and another two to four years to reach grade level. For those brand-new to the country, there is a “newcomer” program that teaches them the basics, like how the lunch line works, and family liaisons that helps parents find resources. “We don’t just stop there,” said Leensvaart. “Our eyes are always on how we are going to the student into the classroom.”

Salsa time At the beginning of the school year, students from Newton Middle School formed the Newton Salsa Society, a club dedicated to hard work — not on the dance floor, but in the school’s greenhouse. In September, students planted 10 varieties of vegetables and herbs, including everything needed to make salsa.

Family Owned, Family Run

After months of careful tending, the club harvested their produce and made their first batches of salsa last week. The Newton Middle School greenhouse has also served as the planting ground for many other student-driven ideas, facilitated by teacher Marc Goodreau.

Tech innovators take center stage T Awards ceremony honors Colorado entrepreneurs

WHAT IS INNOVATION PAVILION?

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Innovation Pavilion is an ecosystem of entrepreneurs, where productive collisions between professionals lead to creative solutions. Located in the heart of Centennial, Innovation Pavilion provides an innovation hub that allows entrepreneurs of all shapes and sizes — from established companies to emerging startups — to develop creative solutions in a collaborative environment. For more information, visit www.innovationpavilion.com

Colorado’s best and brightest innovators were recognized recently for developing groundbreaking technologies. Entrepreneurs from around the state were honored at Innovation Pavilion’s inaugural Innovation Awards & Anniversary Party on Feb. 10 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center. Keynote speaker Gov. John Hickenlooper, a successful entrepreneur before he entered politics, told a standing-room-only audience that “this revolution of technology really is going to be centered in places like Colorado.” Several local companies, tech entrepreneurs and a startup from the south metro area were among the nominees for innovation awards. A Centennial company, MDValuate, took home the Digital Health Innovation Award. MDValuate MDValuate, headquartered at 9000 E. Nichols Ave., Centennial, uses adaptive data integration and a “physician value index” that helps identify physician performance and empowers provider leadership executives with concrete tools to manage their physician network. The Digital Health Innovation Award was sponsored by Parker Adventist Hospital, and the hospital’s CEO, Sam Huenergardt, talked about the ways in which technology has made “absolute differences that improve outcomes and reduce mortality and complications” in medical settings. MDValuate was chosen as a perfect representative of that blossoming impact, and technology can be an ideal partner in improving the experience of each patient, Huenergardt said. “We have to use (technology) as a tool to allow us to do what we do best, which is taking great hands-on care of the pa-

MDValuate’s physician value index provides a weighted analysis and score for data from disparate databases. The index is designed to consolidate and present physician performance as a single score across multiple data bases, according to the company’s website. While accepting the award, MDValuate CEO Tod Baker said that he hopes technology from his and other innovative companies in Colorado will “transform” the medical industry. “We set out to create a technology solution to help physicians deliver the best patient care,” Baker said. “Physicians in the industry need to know and understand where they’re strong and where they’re weak so they can improve their performance.” More than 25 companies and individuals were nominated in five categories.

Tax-limit fight could shape future growth TABOR forces decisions that may bring reckoning By James Anderson Associated Press By 2030, Colorado’s population will grow from 5 million to 7 million people, thanks in part to a strong and diverse economy, the state’s famed Rocky Mountain quality of life, and its constitutionally mandated low taxes. And because of those voter-sanctioned tax limits, this fast-growing state could someday fall victim to its own success. The contradiction is most evident when the rubber hits Colorado’s aging and underfunded roads. The state’s Democratic governor, John Hickenlooper, is trying to find ways to squeeze more revenue for roads from the budget, while Republicans don’t want to tamper with the fabled 1992 constitutional amendment known as TABOR that keeps a tight limit on those taxes. That’s sparking a battle over the size of government in a perennial battleground state just as the presidential election gets into full swing. “The budget battle here plays to people everywhere who don’t want politicians to decide for them the easiest way to get more revenue,” said Michael Fields, director of Americans for Prosperity Colorado,

so that jobs can be built. … The GOP is the ‘grand opportunity party.’” Conti, a Littleton resident, has served in the Colorado House of Representatives since being elected as a political newbie in November 2010. She credits her success to her youthful experience in gymnastics. “It taught me that hard work and perseverance will pay off,” Conti said. “I’ve had to reach across the aisle, but I used that to build relationships. And through those forged relationships I was able to get things done.” Sibaja, a native of Costa Rica, moved with his parents to the United States in 1997. The Centennial resident has worked on several national and state Republican committees, and moved to Colorado in 2012 to work on the Mitt Romney cam-

Color

which has urged GOP lawmakers to sign a pledge to defend TABOR. Liberals think that’s a recipe for disaster, especially in a growing state. “What we have to stop doing is pitting necessary priorities like roads against other necessary priorities like schools and colleges,” said Tim Hoover, spokesman for the Colorado Fiscal Institute, which favors dismantling the amendment. “TABOR forces us to do that.” So far the low-tax crowd is winning. Even Hickenlooper acknowledges there isn’t a popular appetite to raise taxes, and his hopes of changing the classification of an arcane fee in the budget to free up revenue are opposed by Republicans who vow it won’t make it out of the state Senate, which they control. “Voters are so angry at all forms of government and will vote it down,” Hickenlooper said recently of reclassifying the fee, which raised $750 million last year, in order to keep the budget from reaching a level that will trigger tax refunds under TABOR. Republicans say the real problem is growing Medicaid spending. Colorado, which expanded the program under the Affordable Care Act, is spending about $2.5 billion on the health care plan for the needy. For critical road projects, GOP leaders proposed issuing $3.5 billion in bonds. The governor says there’s no revenue to pay back the debt from bonds.

Under TABOR, voters must approve any state and local tax hike. Democrats are still stung by a resounding defeat of a 2013 ballot initiative to raise $1 billion for schools. But inspiring hope for some, residents in conservative Colorado Springs did approve a local sales tax hike to pay $250 million for road repairs. Ballot initiative possible The Colorado Contractors Association, whose members employ more than 40,000 people, has been sampling the public mood about ways to pay for roads, which it and other business chambers around the state say is a top voter concern. It’s preparing a list of options for state government and, possibly, for voters on the November ballot. “People are starting to realize it’s more than a pocketbook issue,” said Tony Milo, the association’s executive director. “They’re willing to pay more as long as there are guarantees on spending and that it guarantees safety and mobility.” All agree Colorado’s highway system, basically laid out in the 1950s, needs to be modernized. Winter skiers and summer holiday campers can spend hours inching along steep mountain inclines at 11,000 feet, creating a sea of red lights on Interstate 70, Colorado’s gateway to the Rockies. Commute times from Denver to Fort Col-

lins to the north, or to Colorado Springs to the south, can be double the usual 80-minute drives along Interstate 25. In swaths of northern and southern Colorado, two-lane rural roads built in the Depression era are deteriorating under the load of agricultural tractor-trailers and oil and natural gas tankers. The state Department of Transportation has a budget of $1.4 billion a year largely devoted to maintenance. It says it needs $46 billion in the next 25 years to accommodate growth but faces a $25 billion shortfall under current spending rules. But Colorado voters haven’t increased the 22-cent-per-gallon state gasoline tax in more than 20 years, and politicians are reluctant to ask. It and the federal gas tax provide more than half CDOT’s revenue. This year, CDOT could get another $200 million that’s available only in years when statewide personal income growth increases by 5 percent or more. But a bipartisan budget committee warned that amount can drop or disappear if state revenues in coming months prompt bigger tax refunds under TABOR. The panel called for guaranteed fixed installments. “There are a million factors and political interests at work that have us paralyzed, and we’re all looking for alternatives,” said Colorado Springs Republican Sen. Kent Lambert, chair of the Joint Budget Committee.

paign for president. “I have chosen to adopt the values that make this country great,” he said. “… If we have to take the battle to Denver or Washington, you better believe I have the backbone to do it.” The event at Littleton’s Bemis Library was sponsored by the group West Arapahoe Republican Forum. All three stressed that their conservative values are solid, but all took some hits from their opponents. Sibaja called Conti a “politician of failed promises,” citing low scores from conservative groups. Conti hit back, saying Sibaja does not hold “traditional Republican values,” noting he opposed a tax write-off for teachers’ school supplies. Cernanec got dinged on his support of urban renewal in Littleton. Conti said that despite the city having worked out deals with local special districts and Littleton Public Schools as far as how it affects their tax revenue, it still results in hits to their budgets at the state level.

“TIF (tax-increment financing) is a cute little acronym, but a lot of people are fuzzy on the mechanics of it,” she said. Cernanec noted the property in question has been zoned for development for 30 years. “The mayor doesn’t do it alone,” he said. “There are liability and property rights that are present. We looked to forge cooperative agreements. … These are valuable partners. We don’t want to be in

a position of hurting anybody.” Asked about the biggest issues in the county, Sibaja said safety first, then infrastructure. Cernanec said he’s a strong advocate of local control. “The biggest one that jumps out at me is the breakdown of the family,” said Conti. She said she’d partner with local nonprofits on issues like drug use, mental health, childhood obesity and suicide.

Questions can wait as Broncos celebrate By Donna Bryson and Pat Graham Associated Press

her mother whether she was there for all the Broncos, or especially for Manning. “Peyton,” was the answer. “She just likes watching sports, and she’s followed him for years,” her granddaughter said.

From the top of a fire truck, Von Miller thrust the Super Bowl trophy into the air again and again as the Denver Broncos convoy made its way through streets lined with blue-and-orange-clad fans. Behind Miller, the Super Bowl MVP, stood Peyton Manning and DeMarcus Ware. Behind them, the architect of this team and Hall of Famer John Elway. Fittingly, the group traveled the route, which was a bit longer than a mile, in fire truck No. 18 — Manning’s number. Will he be back with the Broncos? A question for another time. Because Feb. 9 was parade day and a million fans — according to an estimate from the Denver mayor — showed up to cheer on the Super Bowl champions after beating Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers 24-10 on Feb. 7. The supporters held up signs and screamed “Thank you, Peyton!” at the top of their lungs as they soaked in the sun while basking in the glow of the Broncos’ third Super Bowl title — and the first in 17 years. Fans packed in tightly along the route, while others watched from balconies, rooftops and even the branches of trees as the players rode by on a series of fire trucks. Backup quarterback Brock Osweiler signed footballs and threw them into the crowd as he rode by on another truck, while Annabel Bowlen, the wife of ailing Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, took a seat next to Miller. Pat Henderson and Melanie Novak usually cheer together at the stadium, where they met at a Broncos game a decade ago in a part of the stands they proudly described as the rowdy south section. During the season, “it’s our responsibility to all the Broncos nation to help

Celebrants couldn’t wait Fans in Denver began celebrating on the night of Feb. 7 as the clock ticked down on the Broncos’ win in Super Bowl 50. That crowd became unruly at times, but officers for the most part watched from the sidewalk. Police reported a handful of arrests, mainly for criminal mischief. On Feb. 9, the mood was light. Even some people stuck in traffic near the parade route honked at fans dressed in Broncos jerseys walked on the sidewalk toward the event. Some kids had an impromptu snowball fight — making missiles out of remnants of snow from a week earlier when the city received about a foot of fresh powder — while several adults painted their faces for the occasion. Although many took the day off, Gary Baca, chief of security for a downtown building along the route, was working. He wore a bright orange tie with his white dress shirt, and took a moment to survey the crowds he said were sending a message to the Broncos. “I want them to understand that we as fans truly love them,” Baca said. “The love deep down is genuine.” It meant the world to longtime Broncos linebacker Randy Gradishar, the centerpiece the team’s famed “Orange Crush” defense from the late 1970s. “I can see why Broncos fans are charged with being the greatest fans in the country,” Gradishar said. “It’s great to see all the excitement and enthusiasm.” Miller, who was wearing a cowboy hat, couldn’t agree more. A chance at a Super Bowl repeat? “I think so,” Miller said. “Back-to-back, right?”

Manning’s future with team unclear amid victory rally

More than a million people attend a parade and rally in downtown Denver Feb. 9 to celebrate the Denver Broncos’ victory in Super Bowl 50. Photo by Brandon Eaker the team by yelling,” Henderson said. The task on Feb. 9, she said as she stood with Novak along the parade route, was a bit different: “To have fun and represent Denver.” The parade followed an outdoor concert by a trio of Colorado bands, including Big Head Todd and The Monsters, near the City and County Building and the Colorado Capitol. The sea of fans went crazy on the sunny morning as the music started. The smell of marijuana hung over the park, even though smoking pot in public is illegal in Colorado. School took back seat People gathered for hours before the concert and parade. Classes were in session, but school-age kids mingled in the crowd. Denver schools offered students excused absences if their parents let officials know.

Once on stage, Manning acknowledged his teammates and the crowd, but he said nothing of his plans for the future. “Everybody has really stuck together this year. That’s why we’re here where we are today, and it’s great to be with all these great fans,” Manning said. Judy Ayce drove nine hours with her 81-year-old mother, Dorothy Ayce, from the Chinle Navajo reservation in Arizona for the parade, arriving at the Denver home of Judy Ayce’s niece late Feb. 8. On the morning before the parade started, Dorothy Ayce’s wheelchair was parked against a barricade. A plastic bag of drinks and snacks dangled from the chair. The family was ready to spend the day celebrating. “We brought our mats. We brought our food. We brought blankets for Grandma,” Amanda Ayce said. Judy Ayce, speaking in Navajo, asked

Fraud checks could delay some tax refunds Colorado faced the same problem last year

By Donna Bryson Associated Press Colorado officials are carefully reviewing tax returns after seeing an increase in fraud, meaning taxpayers might have to wait longer than usual for refunds, a spokeswoman said Feb. 10. The state Department of Revenue faced a similar challenge last year and responded by mailing paper checks to addresses on record instead of directly depositing some refunds. The procedure — costly in terms of time as well as money — was prompted by an increase in stolen identity information used to file fraudulent tax returns. The federal Internal Revenue Service and other states are seeing similar prob-

“

Detecting refund fraud has become the new normal.” Ro Silva, Colorado Department of Revenue spokeswoman

lems, said Verenda Smith, deputy director of the Federation of Tax Administrators, an information-sharing and lobbying group for state tax officials. In recent years, identity thieves have become more sophisticated, and state revenue authorities have begun discussing the problem more openly, she said. “You don’t want to be the first one to say, ‘You won’t get a fast refund,’” Smith said. “But taxpayers came to recognize this was to protect them.’’ In Colorado, revenue department spokeswoman Ro Silva said some paper checks will be issued this year, as was the case last year. In some cases in which

fraud is suspected, the refund process will be halted and the taxpayer will be asked to provide additional information. Taxpayers who get checks will receive a letter directing them to contact the department if they have not filed a return or were not expecting a refund. Taxpayers who file a correct and complete return in February should expect a refund in 21 days under state law, Silva said. This year, however, some returns could take up to 60 days longer to process. “Detecting refund fraud has become the new normal,’’ Silva said, asking taxpayers to be patient. “It’s part of what our

society is dealing with.’’ “Last year, about 85 percent of Colorado taxpayers filed electronically, a method that is convenient for them and the revenue department, Silva said, noting the department had no plans to limit electronic filing. She and Smith would not elaborate on all the steps being taken by the federal Internal Revenue Service and states for fear of tipping off criminals. Smith said prosecuting such criminals can be difficult. Many are not in the United States, and they can be hidden behind multiple layers of their own computer security devices. Instead, she said, tax authorities concentrate on stopping fraud. Taxpayers can help by taking steps to protect their identities, including creating strong passwords for financial and other computer accounts and changing them often.

‘Too late’ same as caring too little One of the toughest situations that ever happens to any traveler, especially someone traveling frequently on business, is when they have arrived at the airport too late and miss their flight. Whether it was traffic, weather, or just plain old bad planning and tardiness, upon arrival they find that the airplane has taken off without them. Has that ever happened to you? It has happened to me too, and for all of the reasons mentioned above. So here’s the thing, we may have been late for that particular flight, but usually there is a later flight that same day or a flight out the next morning. It’s late, but in most cases it’s never really too late. There have been so many times when I have found myself in conversations with friends, family members, customers, business owners and salespeople. And over the years I can’t tell you how many times I have heard someone say, with a bit of disappointment and too much “quit” in their voice, “I missed my opportunity, it’s too late.” Too late for what? Maybe it is too late for someone with a quitter’s mentality or for someone who only sees what’s behind them and not what’s in front of them. But it’s never too late for anyone who looks at each and every situation and only sees potential and opportunity. It’s also never too late for anyone who has

had a dream, a vision or a goal to accomplish something. How many stories have we heard or read about where someone has learned a new language, went back to school, jumped out of an airplane, started playing an instrument, opened a business or any numMichael Norton ber of other amazingly fulfilled dreams? WINNING I remember a time WORDS when I was coaching a young salesman. We were debriefing a meeting he had just held with a prospective customer and he was completely dejected. As I asked more about what happened he shared that he had made some rookie mistakes, made his presentation too soon, and didn’t even ask for the business. He said, “It’s too late, I lost this one.” Then I asked him if he knew for sure that the prospect had made a decision to go with another vendor. He shared with me that they had not and that there were a few more vendors left to make their presentation. I encouraged him to reach back out, share his concerns about what he did wrong, and just be honest and

sincere in asking for one more chance. In the end it wasn’t too late; the prospect allowed him to come back in, and he actually won the business. How many relationships, even marriages, ended because someone thought it was too late? Is it really too late to do the little romantic things that used to be done, too late to show a little more affection, too late to say “I love you,” too late to forgive, or too late to be forgiven? You see, it really is never too late, not unless we allow it to be. We can turn away from the airport and just not take that trip, we can give up on any prospective sale or opportunity, and we can choose to walk away from a relationship, we can do any of those things if that’s what we really want. But if we choose not to, all we have to do is change our thinking from “It’s too late” to “It’s never too late.” How about you? Is it too late for you or are you just getting started? I would love to hear all about what your next pursuit will be at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we look at life at any point as if we were just getting started and it really is never too late, it will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Snowblower reveals that someone blew it I ran over a phone book with my snowblower this morning. I really wish I hadn’t. Shredded pages went everywhere. Here’s what happened. Someone left a new phone book on my front porch on the night of a recent snowstorm. The snow continued to fall, and it buried the book. So I didn’t see it. The sound was horrific. I thought I might have run over a rabbit. The book should never have been left on the porch in the first place. Years ago I asked all of them to stop delivering phone books to me. I hadn’t used one in 10 years or more, and I was getting two, three or more each and every year. Who uses phone books? Maybe some computer holdouts. Of course, at one time I did use them. But things have changed. I am not even listed. I was kind of pleased when I saw my name in one for the first time.

But then I became the target of solicitors. I would have all of them lined up and hit repeatedly with socks full of manure. I still get unwanted calls. I can block up to 30 numbers, but that’s it. I am concerned Craig Marshall Smith about the upcomQUIET ing campaign calls, DESPERATION but I have my Swear Word Dictionary next to my phone for that and them. Anyway this got me thinking about other things that I — or we — have phased out, and I came up with a long list. Travel agents. Door-to-door salesmen and women. Johnny Cash was one. Table radios. But if you are looking for one, let me know.

I can recommend the best. Or just watch “Big Fish.” There’s one in Albert Finney’s bedroom. Turntables — although there are still lots of vinyl lovers. I know that by the time I croak, I will be completely out of touch with new technologies. I still have a land line. The new thing in automobiles is a sensor that brakes the car all by itself if you are about to run into someone. It further encourages distracted driving. One of my favorite memories (age 10) was a cross-country train ride. I get the urge about once a year to do it again. But who has the time for that anymore? Watches, maps, encyclopedias and daily newspapers. Remember when you could pick up a free paper newspaper at a gas station? Fortunately new technologies haven’t replaced everything. Like blue jeans and coffee cups. And bowling shirts, like the ones that pro Smith continues on Page 11

Student safety is crucial for nation School safety is not a topic my parents ever worried about. Unfortunately, today parents do worry about it because tragic events have captured the attention of the entire community. Safety in our schools is now top-of-mind for teachers, parents and students. I agree with this priority. The good news: Schools and districts across the 6th Congressional District have made safety a priority and are implementing new techniques and policies to keep our students safe. There are also things we can do at the federal level to assist. That’s why I joined the newly formed, bipartisan Congressional School Safety Caucus. The School Safety Caucus brings together education, law enforcement, government and private sector leaders to discuss ways to protect our nation’s schools. The caucus will focus on sharing best practices, increasing awareness of available solutions, and developing strategies and legislation that promotes school safety and security. In addition to joining the School Safety Caucus, I have already taken a number of actions to address this issue. Specifically, I have co-sponsored several bills to improve safety in our schools, including:

• The School Safety Act: This bill would reauthorize appropriations for the matching grant program for school security through fiscal year 2020. The program was created in 2001. But funding for it lapsed in 2011. It is U.S. Rep. past time that we fund this highly effective Mike Coffman program once again. GUEST Grants would be used to achieve one or more COLUMN of the following: placement and use of metal detectors, locks, lighting and other deterrent measures; security assessments; security training of personnel and students; coordination with local law enforcement; acquisition and installation of technology for expedited notification of local law enforcement during an emergency; and any other measure that may provide a significant improvement in security. • Mental Health First Aid Act: This

measure requires the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to award grants to initiate and sustain mental health first aid training programs. The programs would train individuals like police, nurses, and teachers — who are often the first to encounter people struggling with mental illness — in safe de-escalation of crisis situations, recognition of the signs and symptoms of mental illness, and timely referral to mental health services in the early stages of developing mental disorders. • Safe Schools Improvement Act: This is an anti-bullying bill that would require schools to collect data regarding bullying and harassment incidents and allow schools to teach students about the consequences of bullying and harassment as well as develop and implement programs to reduce these consequences. Keeping our students safe must be a priority for everyone. U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman represents the 6th Congressional District, which includes Aurora, Centennial, Littleton and Highlands Ranch.

Come on down to the Capitol We’ve started another legislative session at the Colorado Capitol and this is my last as a sitting senator, since I’m termed out at the end of 2016. So now’s your last chance to come to the Capitol and join me for 15 minutes or all day. I’ll bring you to the Senate floor or take you to committee, and you can see it up close and personal. After all, it is the people’s building and the people’s process, so it belongs to you. (It’s fascinating to hear what some people say and see how they vote.) We’re in session until the first week of May, so hope you can make it before then. If you’re unable to make it in person, the next best thing is watching the floor work on Channel 165, the Colorado Channel on cable. If you’re on satellite television, you don’t get that channel, but there’s streaming video online. It only covers portions of the floor work, but at least you can get an idea of what your representatives and senators are doing under the dome. In the meantime, as your state senator, I thought you’d like to know what I’m working on this year. I’m continuing to serve on

(We have risen again, and are now seventh highest in the country.) • Finding the balance of catching, but not over-criminalizing, those who “sext.” • Continuing to tackle human trafﬁcking in our state. • Requiring transparency of drug pricing for prescriptions or treatments over $50,000. • Identifying children who have been prenatally exposed to substances. (This is the one 100-percent preventable cause of developmental disabilities.) • Prosecuting habitual offenders of domestic violence. • Stopping people from fraudulently using their pets to pose as service animals so they can get access to places or airplanes

without cost. • Repealing obsolete or unnecessary agency reports currently required in statute. • Striking the balance between expectation of privacy and economic development with the use of unmanned aerial systems (drones). • Restricting children’s access to marijuana.

Film is on its way out. Not films. Rolls of film. You used to have to buy rolls of blackand-white or color film and then take the exposed rolls to a drug store or Photo Mat, and wait, sometimes days, for your (12 or 24) prints. Hand-written letters are a goner. When was the last time you received one? So are

typewriters. Do you have an address book? I will have to wait until the snowstorm melts entirely to pick up all of the pages and bits of pages, because many of them were scattered in the rocks. There were footprints in the snow, but I figured whoever it was had simply seen the 19 “No Solicitors” signs on and next to

my front door and left. It was eerie, like the climatic snow scene in “The Invisible Man.” It startled me, and it was and will be a mess to clean up, but I am thankful it wasn’t Bugs Bunny.

“

Coloring connects people to their child-self and it brings back some really great memories for people.” — Jennifer Lepke, licensed creative art therapist

Parker resident Chrissy Morin jumped feet first into the adult coloring craze. She has close to 20 different coloring books. Photos by Shanna Fortier

Zen between the lines Adult coloring books catch on as people look for relaxing activity By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

hrissy Morin took her first leap into the adult coloring world through a cat coloring book. As a self-proclaimed cat nut, the book caught her eye. She grabbed some old colored pencils lying around the house and decided to give it a try. That was just the beginning. “I color at least three days a week,” said Morin, who now has about 20 coloring books. “I like to do it while I’m watching TV — I’m a multitasker. It also helps keep you from snacking.” Coloring is not just for kids anymore. Intricate adult coloring books are the latest lifestyle craze with millions of fans, booming sales and libraries jumping in to host workshops. They are often the first books seen while walking into bookstores and are topping the Amazon best-seller list each month — six adult coloring books are on the list for 2016. “Coloring connects people to their childself and it brings back some really great memories for people,” said Jennifer Lepke, a licensed creative art therapist. But it’s not just a national trend. The adult coloring craze has taken off in the Denver metro area over the past nine months: The books have been top sellers at the Michael’s on South Broadway in Highlands Ranch for the better part of the past year. Morin,

Coloring books targeted to adults are available at all major book stores and art supply stores. who lives in Parker, created a Facebook group, Coloring Book Addicts of Colorado, and a blog, coloringbookaddict.com, where she talks all things coloring. The Parker Library held a coffee and coloring event in November to address the craze. “I saw a trend with adults, in particular, and wanted to introduce coloring to adults who may not have known of its meditative benefits,” said Brittni Ehrhart, branch program liaison at the Parker Library. The event, held again in January, drew 34 men and women, with more people on a waiting list. Because of its popularity, Ehrhart said she will host a monthly coloring event at the library beginning in May. The Bemis Public Library in Littleton

also jumped in and started a monthly adult coloring event. But why are so many adults connecting with this childhood pastime? Morin turns to coloring to fuel her need to create without the mess of traditional crafting. But many adults are hoping to find zen between the lines of their coloring books. “It is a stress releaser,” said Lepke, who studied people’s moods before and after coloring. It “has therapeutic qualities because it can be meditative, repetitive in nature, and requires focus.” But Lepke, who is in the process of creating a coloring book with a group of creative art therapists, warned that some books can be too detailed and actually create pressure for some people. “But sometimes the detailed ones can create the flow experience — when you’re highly focused on something and the world fades away — and it becomes meditative,” she said. No matter why adults are coloring, Lepke said it’s great they are connecting with their creative side. “Art-making is often geared toward kids, and I always find that so odd that there isn’t more art happening that’s geared toward adults,” she said. “I think we all have a desire to be creative. We all have a desire to engage in some sort of creative outlet. And I think the coloring book is a simple and contained way to tap into that.”

Some of us had heartless playlist on Valentine’s Valentine’s Day is a made-up holiday. We can all agree on that, right? I’m not talking about St. Valentine’s Day, named in honor of a historical figure, but Valentine’s Day as we know it now — with the chocolates and roses and candles and all. For single people, it’s just a day to be reminded they’re single. And for some couples who put too much stock in all the hoopla, it can be worse because there’s no way to live up to all that hype. So if you’re still dealing with the fallout of a Valentine’s Day gone wrong, or never cared about it in the first place, here’s a short playlist based on grief experts David Kessler’s and Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’ famous five stages of grief. Denial — “I’m Not Crying” by Flight of the Conchords “New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based, digi-bongo, acapellarap-funk-comedy folk duo,” (as they call themselves) are easily the funniest songwriters of this century. And they hilariously encapsulate the emotional vulnerability of the first stage of grief. Over some purposefully overwrought piano and strings, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie conjure up the most pitiable machismo by coming up with myriad excuses for why they’re crying: “I’ve just been cutting onions/I’m making a lasagna/For one” and “It’s just been raining on my face.” Denial is rarely this gut-bustingly funny, which makes it even more appreciated.

Anger — “Heartless” by Kanye West The thing about anger is it’s often misdirected and does more damage than good. It can also be extremely cathartic — and there are times after a relationship ends when catharsis is all Clarke Reader you need. LINER Kanye West certainly understands NOTES this and expresses the anger in this entirely one-sided song. He compares his ex to Dr. Evil, accuses her of spreading lies and wails lines like, “Somewhere far along this road/He lost his soul/To a woman so heartless.” The lyrics are totally unfair, dodge any personal culpability and are all about venting. Right or wrong, sometimes venting is necessary.

Bargaining — “Red House” by The Jimi Hendrix Experience The blues wildly inspired Jimi Hendrix, and his passion for the blues is obvious in what may be his most conventional blues number. The character in the song moves quickly from the excitement of finally coming home to shock that his key doesn’t work anymore. But the way the character bargains his way out of heartbreak comes down to the

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Rihanna’s “Anti,” released on Roc Nation records. Review: Rihanna has been more of a singles artist for me, but she ﬁnally released her best and most cohesive album by eschewing singles all together. Her voice and world-weariness are both front and center, and this makes the album a total knockout. Favorite song: “Higher” Best encapsulation of Rihanna’s approach to music: “I wanna go back to the old way But I’m drunk instead, with a full ashtray With a little bit too much to say.”

bitter and biting last lines: “’Cause if my baby doesn’t love me no more/I know her sister will.” One of my favorite song endings, it generates the kind of laughs that stick in your throat. Depression — “Martha” by Tom Waits Waits has always been delightfully strange. But his debut album is full of the same kind of brokenhearted yearning that Frank Sinatra did so well. The purest distillation of Wait’s stirring approach to romantic melancholy

is this weeper of a song. Lyrics like “And those were the days of roses, of poetry and prose/And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me,” encapsulate the doldrums of regret and depression. The swelling strings are the perfect musical partner. Acceptance — “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” by Bob Dylan Any number of Dylan songs could have made this list: “Don’t Think Twice” came out on top because it’s his most direct and wry attempt at addressing moving on from a relationship. But even as Dylan is moving on, he can’t help but do so with a hefty dose of sarcasm and bitter humor. Lyrics like: Still I wish there was something you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talking anyway So don’t think twice, it’s all right will sound familiar to anyone moving on from a relationship. Often that’s the only thing to be done, and most of us can only hope to do it with as much wit as Dylan does. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week.

She has attended workshops with Kim English, Dan Beck, Nura Mascarenas, Michelle Torrez, Melinda Morrison and Mitch Caster, and her website displays small sculptures as well as the paintings. She is represented by Arts of Denver Gallery at 1025 S. Gaylord St., Denver. She writes about her work: “By channeling my unveiled innocence as a child, I treat each painting as an individual endeavor towards a natural and expressive embodiment of the subject as if looking through young eyes.” Her oil paintings are highly textured and brightly colored. “The natural world inspires much of my work,” she continues, “as I live in and experience the human condition in relation to the whole-hearted images I choose to paint. My fascination lies within the relationship between color, texture and line in context to the subject.” She says that base layers in some paintings are made from print blocks she has designed and crafted herself. Look for evidence of that extra layer when you visit.

Climber to share her story Kaltenbrunner has reached all peaks over 8,000 meters By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com Austrian mountain climber Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner grew up hiking and skiing in mountains near her home and climbed her first major peak at 13. She also completed training as a nurse in Austria and worked in that capacity until 2003, when she summited her fifth peak higher than 8,000 meters, Nanga Parbat in Pakistan, and became a professional mountain climber. On Feb. 21 (7:30 p.m.) and Feb. 22 (10 a.m.), she will give a multimedia presentation at Lone Tree Arts Center about her adventure on K-2, the world’s second-highest peak, a program in the National Geographic Live international series. At 23, she realized her dream of summiting an 8,000-meter peak, Broad Peak in Pakistan (26,335 feet), and her future was cast. Her goal was to be the first woman to climb all 14 of the over-8,000-meter peaks, without supplementary oxygen In 2011, she reached the summit of K-2, her 14th peak over 8,000 meters — despite new snow and avalanche danger. She was named National Geographic’s Explorer of the Year. According to a National Geographic online story, she wanted to climb from the remote Chinese side, along the most dangerous route. (K-2, with heavy snow and danger of avalanches, has taken the lives of one in four climbers who attempt to reach its summit.)

Mountain climber Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner struggles with wind and snow as she ascends K-2, the world’s second-highest mountain. Photo by Ralf Dujmovits Kaltenbrunner will use slides and video to illustrate her talk, which will also address her interest in the culture and people she has found. Her husband and climbing partner, Ralf Dujmovits, shot the photo that illustrates this story. He and others turned back on the K-2 expedition, while she pressed on to the summit.

IF YOU GO Mountain climber Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner will talk, as part of a National Geographic Live series, about her ascent of K-2, the world’s second-tallest peak, at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 21 and 10 a.m. on Feb. 22 at Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree.

the now-adult daughter, Mahtob Mahmoody. Now a grown woman with a degree in psychology, a circle of supportive friends and a strong Christian faith, “Maht,” as friends call her, spent terrified years watching on every street, behind every tree, wherever she lived or studied, in fear that her father would kidnap her again as he threatened — in the same breath as he threatened to kill Betty. For a period of years, she went under a false name, attending protective Lutheran schools in Michigan while her internationally famous mother traveled, spoke about her experiences and about the book — and helped other parents whose children had been kidnapped. Sometimes, Mahtob traveled in Europe with Betty and grew close to her mother’s German publisher, who later encouraged her to write her own story. It was in Germany that she also found a doctor who treated her with an experimental drug for the lupus she had developed — and has had to keep at bay ever since. Eventually, she was able to part with a consuming bitterness toward her father (he died in 2009) and heal. Writing the book helped her to be at peace with the world. “Tamoon … it is finished. I am hunted no more. Now I am free.”

There were interviews with Barbara Walters, Maria Shriver, Larry King and other media personalities, even as there was constant fear and watchfulness that the father might find them. The book told Mahmoody’s true story. The American woman married an Iranian doctor in the U.S. and traveled with him to visit his family, supposedly for two weeks, when their daughter was 4 years old. She learned that her husband, who had become a militant Islamist, abusive and constantly angry, did not intend to return, nor would he allow his wife and daughter to travel home to America. (In Iran, a woman had no rights and had to submit to her husband’s wishes. A child was also his to control.) For many months, they mother underwent physical abuse, with no sympathy from his family and sometimes periods of separation from little Mahtob.

‘Fuddy Meers’ doesn’t keep its story straight Twists, turns offer odd rendition of family life

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Each morning when Clare awakens, her mind is a blank slate and her husband, Richard — or is his name Philip? — tells her who she is and presents a book he has created for her that spells it all out. Phamaly Theatre Company is presenting “Fuddy Meers” by David Lindsay-Abaire, which tells of Clare, her family and some other peculiar connections. His characters are truly memorable portraits, who communicate less than clearly and proceed through the day focused on their own concerns.

Clare (Jenna Bainbridge) and Richard (Trenton Schindle) have a smartmouthed eighth-grader named Kenny (Stewart Caswell), who is rebellious and consistently rude. Soon after Clare wakes up on the day we meet her, a limping, lisping man, who says his name is Zack, crawls out from under her bed and insists on taking her to visit her stroke-impaired mother Gertie (Lucy Roucis, a 23-year Phamaly member). Gertie speaks what Clare calls “stroke speak” and recalls the funny mirrors — “fuddy meers” at the amusement park fun house when she sees a family photo of a reflection in said mirrors. At Gertie’s house, Millet (Daniel Traylor) appears suddenly and noisily. He’s a strange puppeteer who speaks with — as well as for — his scruffy little potty-

mouthed puppet. He and Zack met in prison, we learn. The collection of characters at Gertie’s house is complete when his son Richard and a supposed traffic cop, Heidi, appear. Chaos erupts and it seems that no one is who we think they are. Abrupt end of Act I here with everyone moving and talking, then freeze! Act II begins (clever staging) with a continuation of that chaos — with everyone in the exact same location — and begins to sort itself out into additional storylines. Those who wish for linear progression in a theater piece will want to buy tickets elsewhere. But for insight into the mind of an inventive writer, the twists and turns of “Fuddy Meers” offer a family story of sorts, as perceived in those fun house mirrors, with everything

Program is from 2-3 p.m. Monday, Feb. 22, at the Bemis Library, 6014 S. Datura St., Littleton. A descendant of pioneers and sea captains from America’s earliest days, young Doctor Lois Pendleton sailed to China in 1920 to face challenges she never expected working at a mission hospital in Tenchow. While Dr. Pendleton treated the patients that came to the hospital, civil war, guerrilla skirmishes, major floods, dust storms, famines, and epidemics took place. In 1927, a battle raged between two warlords just two miles from the mission compound. The political conditions became so dangerous that Dr. Pendleton relocated to Tientsin on the coast, where she met Oliver Todd, a young American civil engineer whom she later married. She and her new husband settled in Beijing, but they were forced to leave the country when Japan invaded China in 1938. Christiansen is the author of the book, Dr. Lois: Woman Surgeon of China.

His last known whereabouts were in the Brighton and Westminster areas of Colorado between April and July of 2015. Steve deserves to know that he is not alone in this world and that there is someone that loves him unconditionally. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Please text or call 931-305-3959. I work during the day so leave a message if no answer and I will return your call. Steve, I know you said this would happen. It’s been a long time coming. You also said to make sure that I found you because you didn’t want to miss it. It’s been a long journey but I have found you in Colorado; just don’t know exactly where. I need some help. Please contact me! Forever yours. Love, Sherry

5A GIRLS STATE HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Arapahoe’s Delaney Smith is all smiles as she listens to teammates shouting at her that she was declared the winner of the 200-yard individual medley during the Class 5A girls state high school swimming championships on Feb. 13 in Fort Collins. Photos by Jim Benton

Heritage, Arapahoe win titles Andrews takes 100 freestyle; Smith garners 200 IM crown By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage sophomore Kylie Andrews was relieved while Delaney Smith, a sophomore at Arapahoe, was surprised. Andrews won the 100-yard freestyle at the girls Colorado state swimming championships Feb. 13 at the Edora Pool Ice Center in Fort Collins while Smith was declared the winner in the 200 individual medley. “It feels really, really good to be a state champion,” said Andrews, who was timed in 50.91 in the finals after becoming the top qualifier during the preliminaries. “It was so fast and everybody was so good, it could have gone either way. I felt really relieved to win.” Smith said she was stunned to win. She finished second to Baily Kovac of Fossil Ridge, but she wound up on top of the victory podium when Kovac was disqualified for not touching the wall on a turn. Smith was clocked at 2:05.19. “I didn’t feel like I got it at first because I didn’t know at first,” admitted Smith. “It feels real cool. I didn’t expect that I was going to win. I was going for

said, ‘You got first.’ I looked up at the scoreboard and saw than lane five had a DQ and I was first.” Smith became the 14th individual state champion in Arapahoe history, and the Warriors also have four winning relay teams. Fairview captured the team championship with 288.50 points. Four south metro teams stacked up behind one another with Arapahoe fourth, Rock Canyon fifth, Chaparral sixth and Heritage seventh. Cherry Creek was 10th. Rock Canyon’s effort was led by senior Abigail Kochevar, who will swim next season at the University of Wisconsin. She was a double winner with victories in 50-yard freestyle and 100 backstroke. Kochevar, second last season, won the 50 freestyle with a time of 23.29 after qualifying with the third-fastest time during the preliminaries. She captured her third consecutive state 100 backstroke title with a winning time of 55.00. South metro schools had six swimmers among the top eight in the 100 backstroke. Besides Kochevar, Elsa Litteken of Douglas County/Castle View was third, Andrews fourth, Natalie Arky of Mountain Vista fifth, ThunderRidge’s Patricia Van Law sixth, and Makenna Mathieson of Rock Canyon eighth.

Sydney Bates, Tara O’Gorman and Reilly Richards were three of the 11 Colorado caddies awarded full tuition and housing Evans scholarships to the University of Colorado. Prerequisites to be considered for a Chick Evans scholarship include excellent academics, financial need, strong caddie record and solid leadership. Bates is an Arapahoe High School senior and a caddie at Columbine Country Club. Her younger sister was diagnosed with leukemia and her family filed for bankruptcy because of increasing medical Jim Benton bills and her father’s OVERTIME failed business. He is employed in a minimum wage job. The scholarship is valued at more than $80,000 over four years. “It was an absolute honor to have won an Evans scholarship,” said Bates. “I worked so hard for two years. It was a sense of relief and honor I have from winning this scholarship. It allows me to go to college and follow my dreams.” Bates’ mother worked at Arapahoe when Sydney stumbled across an application to caddie. She gave it a try, admitting she was not athletic. “I never thought this would be a job for me,” said Bates who wants to become a pediatric oncologist because of her sister. “I always thought I’d be a drive-through person at Chick-fil-A, but I like this Chick better.” O’Gorman, a Mountain Vista senior and caddie at Cherry Hills Country Club, became a caddie so she could qualify for the Evans scholarship since her mother is a single mom with a son in college. “I started working as a caddie for a scholarship,” she said. “I’ve never golfed in my life. My mom is a single mother paying for my brother’s college already. It was security so my mom wouldn’t have to work three jobs to put two kids through school.” Richards attends Arvada West, is a caddie at Lakewood Country Club and played golf for the Wildcats. “The Evans scholarship meant the world to me because I’m not sure college would have been an option without it,” he said. “It has changed my life for the better and for the future. Now I see a future for me.” Evans was a top amateur golfer who won the U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur in 1916.

No waiting around for DiDonna Katie DiDonna dislikes waiting. At least that’s the way she plays on the basketball court. DiDonna, a 5-foot-7 Rock Canyon senior who was an all-league softball shortstop last fall, leads the Continental League and all Class 5A players in rebounding with an average of 12.6 per game. “Katie is an outstanding rebounder,” said Jaguars coach Becky Mudd. “Her rebounding skills are a results of her tenacious and fearlessness on the court. Unlike other girls, she doesn’t wait for the ball to come to her. She goes up anywhere around her and attacks the ball and bring it in. “Katie has really embraced her role as a tough rebounder, quick defender and a player who only know how to play one way: hard.” Top 5A wrestling seeds Seven area wrestlers have been topseeded in the Class 5A brackets in the Benton continues on Page 22

Pirates’ effort comes up short Swim

Continued from Page 20

Englewood’s late foul trouble leads to Skyview’s winning points By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Englewood-Skyview girls basketball game was up for grabs going into the final quarter of the Feb. 9 matchup. An abundance of foul calls against the Pirates sent the Wolverines to the free-throw line, where they hit their shots to provide the winning margin, 52-38. “This was a frustrating loss. Our kids fought hard, they executed our offense, we got good looks, but the shots just didn’t fall,” Pirates coach Thomas Rode said after the game. “The girls could have just given up when the shots didn’t fall, and there were so many fouls called against us, but they didn’t. They hung in there and kept fighting. I am proud of them.” Key moments Both teams played physical, aggressive defense, which made scoring points a challenge. Small scoring runs prevailed as first one team and then the other took the lead. The score was tied four times, and there were six lead changes in the second half. Fouls, however, plagued the Pirates in the final two quarters. Skyview hit 15 of 21 foul shots to help them surge ahead and win the game. Key players/statistics Ty Lucas was the scoring leader for the Pirates with 16 points. Courtney Schauer scored six points while Sierra Mazur and Sydney Gonzales each scored four points. Lucas is the team leader in scoring, rebounds and blocked shots in 17 games so far this season with 205 points, 241 boards and 23 blocks.

Ty Lucas (55) puts up a jump shot for Englewood during the Feb. 9 league girls basketball game against Skyview. Lucas scored 18 points for the Pirates, but a late Wolverines scoring surge earned Skyview the 52-38 win. Photo by Tom Munds Teammate Schauer has scored 99 points and tallied 86 rebounds in 17 games, and she is also the team’s leader in assists (17) and steals (42). They said it Coach Rode said he was very impressed with the unselfish play of his team against Skyview. “I saw the girls really show a tremendous amount of heart tonight,” he said. “Over and over, I saw girls get the ball and instead of saying, `I am going to get my points,’ they would pass the ball to a teammate for a layup. That shows me how this group of girls has become a work-together basketball team.” Gonzales, who had four points for the Pirates, said it was a tough, physical battle against Skyview, and she felt Englewood should have posted the win. “It was a disappointing night for

us,” she said. “We could have won this game, but it seemed all our good shots were there but just weren’t falling. It was like someone put a cover on our basket. We know that happens sometimes, but it still is disappointing.” She said she and her teammates have to put the disappointment behind them and come ready to work hard on hitting their shots in practice as they prepare for their next game. Going forward After the Feb. 9 game, Englewood had a 7-11 overall record, and the team was 3-7 in league play. The Pirates will be at home Feb. 18 against Fort Morgan, and they close out the regular season Feb. 19 on the road at Alameda. The Englewood-Alameda contest is a makeup date for a scheduled Feb. 2 game, which was postponed due to that week’s snowstorm.

Each oral bid need not be accompanied by an additional deposit. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $28,243 .00 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit of the successful bidder is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier's check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for IS-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashiers check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD Field Office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the tenns of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant, and has no obligation to deliver the property vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure sale is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the Note and Deed of Trust are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cahier's check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed.

The amount that must be paid if the Note and Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $227,082.32 as of June 27, 2015 plus the Foreclosure Commissioner's fees and costs plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner's attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred-in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

Tender of payment by certified or cashier's check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF FEB. 15, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) St. Valentine’s Day magic rules the entire week for romantic Rams and Ewes. Music, which is the food of love, is also strong. The weekend offers news both unexpected and anticipated. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your aspects favor the arts -- which the Divine Bovine loves, loves, loves. Also, for those looking for romantic love, Cupid is available for requests. After all, his mother, Venus, rules your sign. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Loving commitments continue to grow stronger. Ditto budding relationships. A recent move to help start up a new career-linked direction soon could begin to show signs of progress. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Single Moon Children might be eager to take that proverbial chance on love. But your more serious side will feel better if you take things slowly and give your moonstruck self more time. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a love fest for Leos and Leonas this week. Paired Cats might expect to be purr-fectly in sync. And with matchmaking friends, single Simbas searching for romance shouldn’t have too far to look. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) More understanding on both sides can work miracles in restoring ailing relationships to health. Make the first move, and you’ll be closer to your much-wanted reunion.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Accept the fact that you are worthy of being loved, and you’ll find proof in what is revealed to you over the course of the week. Also accept a compliment offered with great sincerity. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Planning to take a new direction in life is exciting. And so is a new awareness of someone’s special affection. Expect a slow and mostly steady development of the situation. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Although you might still feel you weren’t treated quite right in a recent matter, all that will work out in time. Meanwhile, enjoy the week’s special qualities and potentials.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Deciding not to give up on a troubling romantic situation helps start the healing process. Expect to find some valuable insight into yourself as things move along. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) The week is filled with positive potentials, but it’s up to you to make the right choices. The advice of someone who truly cares for you and your well-being can be priceless. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It’s a good time to make yourself available to possibilities of the romantic kind. Already paired? Good. In that case, be sure to reassure that special person of your feelings. BORN THIS WEEK: Your generosity gladdens the hearts of others, and you bask in their joy.
