Chiefs brief Littleton on possible fire merger

Littleton, South Metro, Cunningham officials say departments may be able to provide better service by working together

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A unification of Littleton Fire Rescue, South Metro Fire Rescue and the Cunningham Fire Protection District could help cut costs and improve service time, the chiefs of the three departments told Littleton City Council at a study session Jan. 10.

Officials from South Metro approached LFR Chief Chris Armstrong Armstrong last summer about the possibility of a merger.

The three departments have engaged in preliminary discussions ever since, and have been gathering information — including response time, transport numbers and department borders — in order to determine if the deal would be feasible.

A unified department of 600 employees would cover nearly 300 square miles across the south metro area,

“Our job is to provide the best service possible to our communities and do it at the lowest possible cost.”

Chris Armstrong Littleton Fire and Rescue Chief with a population of about half a million people, likely making it the second-largest department in the state behind the Denver Fire Department.

Armstrong told the council that three factors need to be studied to determine if a merger makes sense: firefighter and resident safety, service delivery and long-term financial sustainability.

“We’re public servants,” Armstrong said. “Our job is to provide the best service possible to our communities and do it at the lowest possible cost.”

He said South Metro Chief Bob Baker had approached him and said that the three departments could likely cut costs and perform more effectively if they united.

Cunningham Chief Jerry Rhodes said talks of merging the departments have taken place as far back as 1995.

“This is not something that we just popped up with,” he said.

While the chiefs said a larger department could help bring lower costs for fire trucks and firefighting equip-

ment, Littleton City Councilmember Jerry Valdes asked if there is a point of diminishing returns for a growing department.

Rhodes, who is on the board of directors of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, said a department typically does not see decreased efficiency until it reaches 2,000 to 2,500 employees.

Littleton Fire Rescue covers not only the city of Littleton, but Highlands Ranch, west Centennial and portions of unincorporated Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties. Armstrong said the partnerships have allowed LFR to maintain lower costs as well.

“If any one of those partners left Littleton Fire Rescue, in terms of us providing them service, we would not be able to sustain what we currently have,” he said. “The costs would be prohibitive.”

Armstrong said South Metro’s territory includes areas like the Denver Tech Center and Lone Tree that bring in large amounts of tax revenue.

South Metro’s district also includes Parker, Castle Pines and a large swath of Centennial, among other areas in Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The Cunningham district is much smaller than the other two, comprising a 14-square mile chunk of Centennial and unincorporated Arapahoe County.

Armstrong also pointed to response time as something that could be improved by a merger. He said the department’s response time in Highlands Ranch is about 9 1/2 minutes, and that the department has fought response-time problems in other areas.

He said resources are needed to fix those and other issues. He added that South Metro is accredited by an outside agency and maintains response times of just over 7 1/2 minutes.

A presentation has already been made to the Littleton Fire Protection District Board of Directors, and the Highlands Ranch Metro District will be briefed later this month.

Councilmember Bill Hopping said that, moving forward, he would want to see maps of response times and station placement. Mayor Bruce Beckman said that another meeting would be scheduled as the departments gather more information.

“We have a moral obligation to our community and our taxpayers to say `if there’s another department that can provide it at a better rate, and equal or better service, does it make sense to look at doing it together?’ ” Armstrong said.

‘Fast’-growing local company ranked among best places to work Centennial business makes list with Google, Facebook and others

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It has been Dan DeKeyrel’s dream to take his kids to Africa, showing them his most treasured memories from when he backpacked throughout the country after college. And, soon, he will be able to take four weeks off work to fulfill that dream.

DeKeyrel is an associate partner at Fast Enterprises, a Centennial company that has been recognized by Glassdoor, a worldwide job recruiting company, as the sixth best place to work in the United States in 2017.

The company, which has more than 1,000 employees, has benefits that include fully-paid health insurance for employees and their family, paid time off, a 401(k) plan and the ability to earn up to four weeks off to pursue an individual passion.

“From behind the scenes, I see that we are doing what is best for the clients and that we are doing what is best for the employees,” DeKeyrel said.

This is not Fast Enterprise’s first time on the list for best companies to work for. In 2016, it was ranked No. 9 and in 2015 they were No. 2. According to human relations manager, Lindsey Sittko, company values are the most vital factors to these rankings.

“Culture is huge in the company,” Sittko said. “Because we move from project to project, people become a really tight-knit group. I think employees also build strong relations with their client.”

Fast Enterprises is a company that provides computer processing systems to government agencies. Fast started by offering tax systems for the government, but now creates the software that manages other agencies, including driver’s services, vehicle registration and unemployment insurance.

Founding partner, Jennifer Tuvell, gave the example of obtaining a driver’s license. Fast creates several systems for the process: a system that proves that a person is who they say they are, a system that helps issue the license and a system that shows fees and collection history.

The Fast software is configurable, meaning it can be programmed to match the varying rules of different governments. To do this, Fast sends its

“One of the reasons that staff gets excited about the work they do is that they do their coding and configuration and right away they show the user how it is going to impact their life,” Tuvell said. “When you go into production, you get to actually see them using the work produced in an immediate way.”

The company was built in New York in 1997 and moved its headquarters to Centennial in July 2015. The company invested $8 million into remodeling the building at 7229 S. Alton Way, incorporating a game room, cafes and a fitness center.

Colorado was chosen because of its central location and great universities to recruit from, Tuvell said.

Tuvell said that 99 percent of the Fast hires are recruited from colleges. With their diverse methodology, modern software and opportunities to live in locations around the world, she believes that recent college graduates are the perfect candidates.

The universities most recruited from are Brigham Young University, Colorado School of Mines, University of North Dakota, Montana State University-Bozeman and the University of Idaho.

Meg Noble started her career at Fast Enterprises after graduating college in 2011. Since being hired, she has worked in Alabama, Tobago, Louisiana, Wisconsin and recently started working in New Zealand.

“Everyone at the company works really hard to deliver the best possible product, and we have a really great community feel in the office,” Noble said in an email. “It’s mostly the people who make it what it is … Since we all live far away from our hometowns and families, it really promotes building friendships with your coworkers outside of the office. It seems like every weekend, people are going out on adventures with each other to explore their new home.”

Construction defects legislation introduced

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Reforming Colorado’s construction defects laws in order to incentivize the building of condominiums and townhomes has emerged as a priority for both Republicans and Democrats early in the legislative session.

State Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Cañon City, and House Speaker Crisanta Duran, Wist D-Denver, are prime sponsors of a bill tackling the issue, with co-sponsorship from House Assistant Minority Leader Cole Wist, R-Centennial, and Sen. Angela Williams, D-Denver.

“This is the first step in a multi-tier eprocess to help Coloradans attain a home of their own, and I am pleased to be a part of this critical legislation,” Wist said in a statement.

Senate Bill 17-045 was introduced Jan. 11, the first day of the session, and has been assigned to the senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee. It targets insurance rates.

In construction defects actions in court in which more than one insurer has a duty to defend a party, the bill would require the court to apportion the cost of defense among all of them.

Supporters of the bill say it would simplify and reduce litigation costs.

“By targeting insurance rates, we’re addressing the problem without reducing consumers’ rights to protect the property that they spend their life’s savings to buy,” Duran said.

Grantham said that while 100,000 people moved to the state last year,

only 25,000 new homes were built.

Reforming the law on construction defects has been a longtime priority of Republicans in the Legislature. They say the status quo prevents condos and townhomes from being built, leading to Coloradans facing the choice of either apartments or single-family homes, with no middle-price ground.

Reform is also supported by several business groups, including the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce.

Some cities and towns — including Lakewood, Littleton and Parker — have passed ordinances addressing the issue in recent years, as legislation died at the Capitol.

State Rep. Susan Beckman, RLittleton, has identified reforming construction defects laws as a priority of hers this session.

“There is a need to greatly modify the destructive construction defects law that was passed in 2008,” the Littleton Republican told Colorado Community Media in early January.

“We must ensure a market-driven economy and availability of attainable home ownership options that are not hindered by regulation and manipulation.

Rep. Kevin Van Winkle, R- Highlands Ranch, also says the issue is a priority.

“Flawed laws from the recent past have made it impossible for homebuilders to meet market needs, especially for first-time homebuyers and downsizing seniors,” he told Colorado Community Media ahead of the session’s kickoff. “Instead of attainable housing, many Colorado families are trapped in apartments, unable to realize their housing dream.”

Legislators target transportation funding No sign of unity in opening round as Colorado faces billions in needs

BY KRISTEN WYATT ASSOCIATED PRESS

There’s no debate — Colorado needs a big plan to pay for billions in needed highway upgrades.

But that’s where agreement ended Jan. 11 as the state’s divided Legislature began work for the year.

Republicans in the House and Senate gave differing takes on whether Colorado should ask voters to pass a new tax to pay for more than $8 billion in transportation projects.

And Democrats are talking up different ways to pay for roads.

New Republican Senate President Kevin Grantham, of Cañon City, took the unusual step of not rejecting a tax hike.

Instead, he simply asked Democrats to take a careful look at cut-

ting other spending first.

Colorado requires voters to approve tax hikes, so Grantham called it essential to sell the tax as the only possible option for improving roads.

“If we are going to ask (taxpayers) for more out of their own pockets to fund these bond payments, then we must also demonstrate the commitment to reprioritize the dollars they’ve already entrusted to us,” Grantham said.

That was a softer scolding than Democrats received in the House, where Republican minority leader Patrick Neville, of Castle Rock, insisted that Colorado has enough money and needs no tax increase for roads.

“Revenue for transporDuran tation is something we can control without asking taxpayers for more money,” Neville said, without explaining what he’d like to cut, though schools and health care are SEE LEGISLATURE, P8

TAKING STOCK OF THE ECONOMY

Richard Wobbekind, executive director of the business research division and senior associate dean for academic programs at the University of Colorado Boulder, Leeds School of Business, offers insight on the 2017 economic outlook for Colorado.

Wobbekind spoke during the Economic Forecast Breakfast put on by the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce on Jan. 13, which drew hundreds of area business and community leaders to the Hyatt Regency DTC in Denver. Wobbekind said he expects to see increased job growth in Colorado this year. He also said not enough single-family, detached homes are being built to keep up with the state’s growing population.

Escape rooms offer ‘a good brain workout’ Codes, clues and combinations come together in fun facilities

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The rooms within Try’n Escape are full of portals and locks, but the only door with a sign is the entrance, and the only keys are for the lockers where guests keep their purses and coats.

Everything else, clients have to decipher on their own.

“It’s like a treasure hunt,” said Ingrid Tryon, Try’n Escape’s owner, who watches over each of the rooms via security camera. “It’s fun to watch people and see how they think.”

Tryon’s always had a head for riddles, puzzles and brainteasers. By day, she uses her analytic skills to engineer software, but in her free time she devised the clues and combinations that keep people trapped in her domain, for 60 minutes at a time, at 19515 E. Parker Square Drive.

“It’s all in my head,” Tryon said.

“My brain just thinks that way.”

Tryon’s new venture is one of many escape rooms in the region, joining businesses in Englewood, Centennial, Littleton and Aurora. The trend began in Europe about 10 years ago, making its way to the eastern United States soon after.

Escape rooms offer amateur sleuths and thrill seekers the chance to pit their brains against an invisible, unstoppable foe: time. Amateur detectives solve riddles only to find more clues hidden in the answers, as period décor and theme music add to the excitement of trying to beat the clock.

Tryon’s rooms have a 60-minute limit. Occupants have to figure out how to get out of a room before it fills with “poison” gas, or crack a safe before the sheriff locks them up. An all-ages room, “The Land of Toys,” offers families a chance to team up for a more lighthearted experience.

Clients range from corporations looking for team-building exercises to families seeking an offbeat activity that engages all ages, Tryon said.

Shelly Sepetauc, left, and her children Saige, 7, and Parker, 6, look for clues in “The Land of Toys,” a family-oriented escape room at Try’n Escape in Parker on Dec. 8. Sepetauc says she has gone to many escape rooms with her adult family members and was glad to have a family-friendly activity for her children in Parker.

PHOTOS BY TOM SKELLEY “This is just nothing they’ve ever done before,” said Shelly Sepetauc, a Parker resident and returning customer.

Sepetauc tried escape rooms on the east coast and in the metro area over the last two years, and was glad to see one open in Parker. After trying the more challenging rooms with her husband and adult family members over Thanksgiving weekend, she brought her 6- and 7-year-old children to the all-ages room.

“They were super-excited — this is just nothing they’ve ever done before,” Sepetauc said. “There are few of these types of activities where everybody can enjoy it.”

Todd Mata and his wife found out about escape rooms while visiting Valencia, Spain, eight years ago, when escape rooms were the toprated activity in the city. Finding nothing like it upon their return to the Denver area, Mata and his

family opened The Clue Room in Centennial.

“It was 60 minutes that really changed our lives,” Mata said.

Business has been going so well, he added, that The Clue Room, in its third year, added a second location.

Since opening her doors in October, Tryon said her business has also been growing steadily. She plans to add another room, “The Sinking Ship,” as well as rotating the themes on her existing rooms to keep clients guessing and returning.

“It’s a trend. Who knows how long it will be around?” Tryon said, adding that it’s “a dream come true” for her to own a business where she matches wits with her customers.

Escape rooms are hip right now, but Mata doesn’t see why that would change.

“Everybody likes a good brain workout,” he said. “That’s what will keep this industry alive and vibrant.”

Tiny dog worth big bucks stolen LEGISLATURE Eight-week-old purebred taken from Perfect Pets

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A purebred, 8-week-old Papillon puppy worth $1,300 was stolen from Perfect Pets in Centennial on Jan. 3.

According to an Arapahoe County Sherriff ’s Office news release, the suspects are a man and woman in their 20s, both white with dark hair.

Video footage of the puppy being stolen can be seen on the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ArapahoeSO/videos/1380808035296113/ The female suspect picked the puppy up “by the back of the neck” out of a dog pen display and carried it to the back of the store, the news release states. The male suspect

then distracted the store employee while the woman put the dog under her sweatshirt. Both suspects left through a back exit without paying, according to the release.

“By the way the lady grabbed the puppy, we are concerned about the puppy’s safety,” said Lexi Esquibel, manager of the store at 6840 S. University Boulevard. “She was less than two pounds. Those small-breed dogs are known to go hypoglycemic.

If they don’t get care, water and soft food, they could get really sick and die.”

Anyone with information about the crime, the whereabouts of the stolen dog or the identification of the suspects is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. You can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward. Additionally, Perfect Pets is offering a $300 reward. You can also call the sheriff ’s office’s tip line at 720-874-8477 with information.

among the biggest spenders in Colorado’s existing pocketbook.

Democratic House Speaker Crisanta Duran, of Denver, suggested both parties could seek voter approval for a new tax.

Duran said in an opening-day news release that she was involved in “promising discussions” with members of both parties in both chambers to devise a comprehensive statewide plan to upgrade the transportation system.

“Anyone who’s been on I-25 at rush hour, anywhere from Fort Collins to Pueblo, knows the need is real,” she said, Senate Democratic leader Lucia Guzman, of Denver, meanwhile, repeated appeals to free up money by exempting a hospital tax from state revenues. Grantham has called that idea a non-starter.

Other issues explored on opening day: Health care Grantham said he was proposing a bill to repeal Colorado’s health insurance exchange, a move that would have residents instead shop on the federal insurance marketplace. Democrats, including Gov. John Hickenlooper, will likely see the move as an attack on President Barack Obama’s signature domesticpolicy achievement.

Education Duran called on Republicans to consider big changes to how the state funds public education. Just four years after voters soundly rejected an income tax hike to increase school funding, Republicans are unlikely to view the appeal favorably. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans talked about studying the need for weapons training for school employees, a perennial non-starter with Democrats.

It is your duty (dooty)!

Picking up after your dog goes further than making your neighbors happy. When you are out walking your dog, it is your duty to collect their waste. Often, the trails and parks we enjoy with our dogs are adjacent to creeks and reservoirs. Dog waste that is not collected gets carried away during rainstorms to nearby waterways and can be a significant source of pollution. Unlike one might think, dog waste is not a fertilizer.

Rather, it carries harmful bacteria like E. coli, which poses serious health risks if allowed to come in contact with water.

Local stormwater agencies are teaming together to bring you this message. We take this so seriously that we posted this ad rather than send you more garbage in the mail. One thing is clear: our creeks, rivers and lakes depend on you.

Man sentenced to more than 15 years for fifth DUI STAFF REPORT

A man with multiple drunken driving convictions was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison on Jan. 4 after being convicted of felony DUI. Pedro Reynaldo Tun, was arrested for his fifth DUI on Oct. 31, 2015, in Aurora. His previous four convictions were in Arapahoe, Jefferson and Adams counties. He also had a vehicular homicide conviction in Douglas County in 1995, according to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

“This was a drunk driver whose action had already taken a life, and that didn’t wake up him to the consequences of his actions,” said Deputy District Attorney Jesse DuBois, who prosecuted the case. “This case is why we have a felony DUI law — when nothing else has worked.”

In the incident that led Tun to the most recent conviction, Tun, 40, was pulled over on Sixth

Avenue near I-225 in a car without a license plate. An officer reported that Tun smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes, was unable to pass a roadside sobriety test and admitted to drinking beer. A blood test taken two hours later determined his blood alcohol content to be 0.26.

Tun was found guilty of driving under the influence with three of more prior offenses, a Class 4 felony, as well as misdemeanor and traffic offenses.

Arapahoe County District Court Judge Natalie Chase sentenced him to

12 years for the DUI and an 42 months for lesser charges.

Tun has been deported numerous times and had his driver’s license revoked as a habitual traffic offender, according to the DA’s office.

“Sentences like Judge Chase’s in this case are the clearest signal to our community that our criminal justice system will not tolerate those who wantonly put at risk the lives of our families and neighbors on our roads,” said District Attorney George Brauchler.

Look for your inner calm during stressful times both large and small WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

S

ometimes the tiniest of incidents can throw us into a tirade or tantrum.

We get so blinded by the perceived crisis of the moment and situation we lose our minds, our tempers can quickly flare, and we fly off the handle and do or say things we will probably regret later. Have you ever been there? Me too.

Now I don’t know about you personally, but sometimes it is the smallest of changes or accidents that occur where we see people just lose it. Yet those very same people when faced with an enormous crisis or challenge seem amazingly calm during the battle or height of the storm. You may know this type of person, you may live with them or work

with them. This master of remaining calm in the face of a critical situation or massive adversity may be you.

So how can we develop an attitude and a technique that will help us to slow down or stop in the face of any trouble or problem, large or small, and gain control of our thoughts, words and actions before they take control of us?

When I have spoken with some people who have mastered the art of finding calm in the fiercest of battles or crisis, and when I have witnessed such amazing grace and thoughtfulness in challenging times, there was a common denominator, a total lack of panic or worry. Instead, I heard stories of courage and

an attitude of thinking about the bigger picture. I would see people looking and listening more than talking and screaming. The people who amaze me the most are those who are in the middle of one of life’s biggest storms or tragedies and surrounded by others who are screaming, yelling, cursing and scrambling around without direction, and yet these amazing people can observe, understand the full impact, take control in a very calm and confident manner. As a matter of fact, instead of screaming or cursing, they even speak a little more softly.

There is no doubt we all get faced with SEE NORTON, P31

This plan won’t help us In a Q&A in last week’s Centennial Citizen, Republican state Rep. Cole Wist lists “establishing . . . statewide construction litigation reform” as one of the two most important issues the Legislature must tackle in the new session.

Rep. Wist’s plan — to sponsor “several construction litigation reform bills” — will certainly make his donors from the building and construction industries happy, but it will be a nightmare for homeowners trying to get their builders to repair leaky windows, sagging foundations and other construction defects. Taking away homeowners’ rights to sue is not the answer to solving the affordable housing crisis (as the economy in Colorado continues to improve, demand for affordable housing will increase, and more condos will be built), all Rep. Wist’s construction litigation “reform” bills will do is let builders off the hook for shoddy work.

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments that most of us are ever going to make.

Please contact Rep. Wist, and tell him that he needs to put our interest, as homeowners, over the interests of his supporters in the construction industry.

2017 brings wealth of challenges after year of uncertainty and change

M

any U.S. citizens and investors are sighing in relief that 2016 is over but are trepid about what 2017 may bring. Last year was good for certain parts of the stock market, but those gains did not improve most investors’ balance sheet due to extreme uncertainty and a substantial variance in sectors. The new year carries over significant ambiguity around a new administration, new monetary policy, and a debt crisis in Europe.

Energy was one of the best performers in 2016 after hitting bottom in February and rebounding 25 percent. Financials soared on hopes of less regulation and higher interest rates. The health care sector fell into negative territory. Europe did not participate in our euphoria and China devalued their currency to keep up with our rising interest rates. This was definitely not an average year.

Wall Street analysts overall missed the market reaction to a Trump victory, thinking there - would be an emotional reaction to the down side. In reality, the improved earnings induced much of the rally and better corporate earnings will likely continue through 2017. Many investors wanted to be on the sidelines after a negative October and the pending election and have not found a good entry point since. Meanwhile fixed income-investors are seeing dwindling values in their bond portfolios as yields rise and share prices fall. This interest rate phenomenon spread to other sectors also, such as real estate investment trusts and anything

valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

So 2016 was a very mixed bag depending on when and where you were invested. While the best performance was in domestic large company manufacturing, industrial and finanPatricia Kummer cial stocks, most other sectors were average at best.

The valuations became very rich as stock prices were pushed higher in anticipation of better earnings going forward.

In the new year, we are faced with many challenges. These include rich stock valuations, diminishing bond prices, growing debt issues in greater Europe, and currency and trade issues with Asia and Mexico.

There remains hope that the economy will grow, unemployment will remain low and interest rate hikes will be gradual enough not to disturb progress. If taxes are cut and health care expenses are reeled in, then the consumer can benefit through savings. Wages will likely rise along with some inflation.

Research analysts are predicting an average year in equity returns, with lower bond prices and struggles with a very strong dollar and pressures on banks in Europe.

However, sentiment is high and the momentum of positive returns has carried over despite a few down days in early January.

Wise investors will watch for opportunities in sector rotation and

FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

be careful not to assume last year’s winners will repeat. For example, health care went from the worst performer last year to one of the best so far this year. Energy also switched places along with banks.

Watch the elections in Italy, France, Holland and Germany. Europe is either voting for or against austerity and the survival of the EU (European Union). How the European Central Bank can support countries swimming in debt remains to be seen.

Consumers will need patience as we wait to see how changes unfold.

It will be virtually impossible to tackle all the campaign promises in the first quarter. We don’t see recession in the near term, but any surprise worldwide could easily pull back a record high stock market.

The vigilant, patient investor can reap good rewards despite several underperforming and perhaps

overpriced sectors. Fixed income holders will be challenged to stay positive and keep up with inflation.

Creating a solid long-term plan with tactical exposure through dynamic allocation will be crucial as we navigate 2017.

thick fingers — were tortuous.

No longer.

How often do you see your dentist?

Once a year? Twice a year?

I go four, five, six or more times a year, so I have gotten to know something about them, and they have gotten to know something about me.

Perhaps that’s why they don’t schedule children when I have an appointment. Overhearing me might be bad for business. o There’s one assistant whose Native lAmerican name is “Fast Moving Footprints.” Another one whose name is “Just Keep Swimming.”

Nina wears braces, and looks 15.

But she is 32 and the single mother of four boys: 13-year-old twins, a 10-year-old, and an 8-year-old.

She’s a former Marine. Every square inch of Nina — I’m told — is tattooed. Her meticulous handwriting is just like an architect’s.

She knows things about artists, authors, films, and music that I know about, and she’s half my age.

We recommend music to each other. There is no better way to find out about someone than through

music. If she yearned to possess an autographed box set of Lionel Ritchie, I would nod, tip my Panama, and run for the door.

Everything Nina recommends is just like she is: unusual, challenging, and fascinating.

(I heard a rumor that she rocks a ruby red Strat late at night.)

I asked her about Christmas.

“The boys and I celebrated Christmas being grateful for what we have.

We bought presents for the Christmas wishes of four kids that we took off of the angel tree at work.

“My boys will hopefully take these simple acts of kindness I teach them and become great men.”

The coincidences and alignments it took to meet Jennifer would fill a notebook. Or were they coincidences?

The same goes for the unexpected discovery of Nina, who can explain Raymond Chandler’s “The Big Sleep” better than Chandler could, who is a varsity mother, and who can place provisional crowns and assist with extractions while you are comfortably numb.

Why sushi is so popular, according to local chefs

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

iane Bukatman, who founded For the Love of Food cooking school in Golden, learned to make sushi in 2004 while working at a Washington, D.C., restaurant.

One co-worker was a Japanese sushi chef for the restaurant, she said. Fascinated by the art, she’d spend free-time watching him craft sushi rolls. Eventually, he taught her the trade, she said.

And when it comes to a fascination with sushi, Bukatman isn’t alone.

In recent decades, sushi locations have sprung up left and right, making a large imprint in the U.S. restaurant market.

Likewise, sushi-making classes have become popular options for date nights, birthday parties and other events.

If you’ve ever wondered how sushi became popular in the U.S. or where to learn sushi-making, local restaurateurs and cooking instructors have the answers for you.

For Yasu Kizaki, one of four brothers who run well-known Denver restaurant Sushi Den and sister restaurants Izakaya Den and OTOTO Den, sushi’s rise in popularity coincides with historical events.

As people began to move from Japan to the U.S. after World War II, and through

Becoming a Japanese sushi chef

TYPES OF SUSHI In it’s most basic form, sushi is a dish made with vinegared rice. But there are varying types of sushi rolls more commonly featured in restaurants, including:

Nigiri Nigiri sushi is a type of sushi where slices of, typically, raw fish are laid over pressed rice.

Rice is shaped in an oblong form, swabbed with wasabi and covered with seafood, although it could be other meats as well. Slicing of the fish is carefully done with a sharp knife, to avoid tearing the meat and ruining the roll’s presentation.

Maki Maki sushi means “rolled sushi.” It is usually wrapped in seaweed, or sometimes soy paper. Variations of maki sushi include rolls with rice on the outside of the seaweed paper, while other kinds have rice on the inside of the paper.

Temaki Temaki is a form of the maki roll that is commonly referred to as the “hand roll.”

The roll form is similar to an ice cream cone, with the ingredients inside.

Tempura Tempura refers to a deep fried sushi roll.

There’s more to the world of modern musicals than ‘La La Land’

T

he way people are flipping out over Damien Chazelle’s latest film, “La La Land,” you’d think there hasn’t been a musical on screen since “Grease.”

Don’t get me LINER wrong — I thoroughly enjoyed “La NOTES La Land,” and it is definitely one of the year’s best films.

I certainly have no problem with all the awards it’s won already (it did a record-breaking clean sweep at the Golden Globes on Clarke Reader Jan. 8) and the ones it will no doubt win at the Oscars.

My issue is that viewers and listeners have been missing out on some wonderfully innovative approaches to the genre by ignoring anything that doesn’t have immediate name recognition. I’m talking about the big screen productions of standards like “Chicago,” “Phantom of the Opera” and “Les Misérables,” or live televised versions like “The Sound of Music,” “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “The Wiz.” Just a little jaunt off the beaten path will lead to some serious musical treasure.

Take the career of John Carney, the Irish writer and director behind

SUSHI FROM PAGE 12

Sushi’s appeal Dianne Morin is the founder of a Lakewood-based nonprofit, Cooking Experience Club. For the past 17 years, she has run cooking summer camps for local children and given cooking classes for events, private parties and families.

In the past four years, Morin said, “sushi-making has been pretty popular.”

She credits the popularity of sushi to its healthy nature.

“I think a lot of it is because it’s a lighter meal,” she said.

Sushi is not as dense as a mashed

2007’s indie breakout, “Once.” That story went on to be a Tony-winning Broadway musical, and Carney followed it with “Begin Again” in 2013 and this year’s “Sing Street,” which was nominated for Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy, alongside “La La Land.”

“Sing Street” might be Carney’s most delightful film yet, and Ferdia Walsh-Peelo turns in a memorable debut performance as Conor, a young teenager in 1985 Dublin who starts a band to impress Raphina (Lucy Boynton), a model he meets outside of his school.

Carney makes rock musicals instead of the traditional songbook approach, and all of his films feature protagonists drunk on the power of music and love. Just like any other musical you’d think of, the characters often randomly break out into song. But because all three films focus on musicians, it’s a bit more believable when they do so. And Carney works with skilled musicians like Glen Hansard and Adam Levine, so you’re getting tunes you’ll actually hear on the radio.

I hope Carney someday gets the audience he deserves.

In the television realm, about the only musical you’re going to find is The CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” which is just as well, because I have difficulty imagining any other topping it — with the possible exceppotatoes-and-meat type meal, she said, and sushi rolls look appealing to consumers.

“Just the whole concept of, `I can look at this and it looks pretty healthy,’ ” she said.

It’s also easy to personalize, she said, which is something that comes across in her classes.

For those leery of raw fish, she will demonstrate how to substitute in vegetables or smoked salmon.

And there are dessert options, Morin said. Sushi-makers can incorporate fresh fruit or coconut for a sweeter taste.

Kizaki said sushi truly gained momentum in the 1990s. The California roll — which typically contains cucumber, crab meat and avocado — provided Westerners a steppingstone

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: The xx’s “I See You” released on Young Turks.

Review: As swooningly romantic as ever, The xx takes the insular sounds that made their first two records quiet hits, and adds some cinematic grandeur. Producer Jamie xx has expanded the group’s sonic palette, and songs like “Dangerous” and “On Hold” breathe beautifully in the new spaces. But don’t worry, singers

tion of “Galavant,” which ABC canceled last year.

“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” is the brain child of Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna, and stars Bloom as Rebecca Bunch, a New York lawyer who moves to West Covina, California, to be closer to her high school crush (don’t worry — there’s a lot more nuance than that). The show features a hilarious and truly empathetic cast and approach to story.

But top-notch songwriting really sets it apart.

The songs spoof everything from Broadway song-and-dance numbers to torch songs, boy band pop and Alanis Morissette grunge. Check out some of the song names from the first season: “Settle For Me,” “I’m in a Sexy French Depression” and “After Everything I’ve Done For You (That You Didn’t Ask For).”

The show manages to create frighteningly accurate explorations of self-confidence and self-worth, romantic obsession and dynamic friendships, while writing songs like the second season’s standout, “It Was a Sh*t Show.”

If “La La Land” really is creating a renewed interest in musicals, then there’s already plenty out there for fans to dig into. Get started.

By the 2000s, Kizaki said, sushi was going strong.

said, also noting they are some of her most popular options. Customers eat as they go and take home nearly $60 worth of sushi supplies.

Kizaki and his brothers offer regular sushi-making classes through their restaurants. He said they began the tradition as a way to broaden their customers’ horizons.

“Food is an introduction of Japanese culture,” he said. “When I do a class I talk about Japanese culture.”

Talking culture was a way to make the classes entertaining for those who are simply there to have fun, he said. But in Kizaki’s perspective, if you want to learn serious sushi-making, go to Japan.

“Then,” he said, “you learn the skill from a pro.”

Learning the craft Bukatman said becoming a master sushi chef takes years, but learning for fun is quick and easy.

She advises people to work with very sharp knives and know when to use water. You need dry hands when working with seaweed paper but wet when working the rice.

“The trickiest part is learning to make the rice properly,” she said.

Adding too much water melts the grains into a glue-like mixture.

Bring crazy fast fiber Internet to Centennial!

A great town deserves great Internet.

That’s why we want to build a fiber network here, to bring the fastest Internet available to Centennial. We’re talking symmetrical gigabit Internet. 1000 Mbps download and 1000 Mbps upload.

This is next generation Internet that has huge benefits not just for homes but for businesses too. An Internet connection that doesn’t slow down no matter how many people in the house, or in the city, are online.

FAQ Why should I care about fiber?

When does construction begin?

Aside from offering crazy fast, reliable Internet access today, fiber offers increased capacity and a degree of “futureproofing” for the community. Fiber has a positive impact on property values, on education and on local business today.

At home, it means everyone can be online at once without impacting anyone else. Streaming, shopping, having a video meeting, doing homework, whatever.

We’re targeting to begin construction before summer 2017.

What’s the City’s role vs Ting’s role in building a fiber network in Centennial?

stream videos without buffering

video conference without delay

unlimited monthly data usage

surf the web with no load time

Cast your vote.

Placing a $9 pre-order doesn’t just cast a vote for Ting Internet in a specific neighborhood and in Centennial at large, it also secures free installation for Ting gigabit fiber Internet to the premises.

Pre-order and track our progress at ting.com/centennial

ideal gaming experience

excellent customer service

How much is Ting Internet?

Ting Internet is $89/mo for symmetrical gigabit (1000 Mbps) for homes and $139/mo for businesses. We also offer a lower cost symmetrical 5 Mbps connection for homes for $19/mo.

How much is installation?

The City of Centennial is building a fiber “backbone” which will be used for traffic management and public safety operations. Ting is leasing access to that backbone as well as making a significant capital investment to build the “last mile” of the fiber network, connecting homes and businesses. Ting is the service provider: The one the people of Centennial will have a relationship with if they choose to get crazy fast fiber Internet at home or at work… which we’d argue they absolutely should.

Ting’s standard installation is a small portion of the actual cost: $199 for a home and $399 for a business.

Where will the fiber network be built?

We use the latest underground construction techniques to keep disruption to a minimum. We build in the city-owned right of way. If you sign up for Ting Internet, the conduit that brings fiber to your home will be routed safely underground, without the need for trenching.

The network will be built within the city limits of Centennial.

There are many factors that influence where building begins but the one that you can impact is pre-orders. Pre-orders can determine where we start and in which directions we head from there.

What is the benefit of pre-ordering?

Pre-ordering casts a vote to get fiber in your neighborhood and can guide our construction efforts. Pre-ordering will also unlock discounts up to and including the full cost of installation.

Do I have to buy any equipment?

The Ting Internet Box is typically required to access the fiber network. It can be purchased outright for $199 or rented for $9/mo.

“Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” plays Jan. 20 to Feb. 12 at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker. Performances are at 7:30 p.m.

Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays.

There are some single tickets remaining.

Call 303-805-6800, parkerarts.org.

Once upon a time, in 1740, a French writer, Gabrielle Suzanne Barbot de Ville, published a story about a beautiful young woman and a man who had been transformed into a beast by an evil fairy …

It was based on a folk tale that had been in circulation for about 400 years and has been retold in various versions since the 1700s — more recently by the American Walt Disney Company, which produced an animated film in 1991 and converted it to a hugely successful Broadway musical in 1994, complete with a singing teapot and cabinet ...

When Gary Lewis, artistic director of Inspire Creative, the in-house producing company at Parker’s PACE Center, met with the PACE producing manager to choose the season’s musical productions, they were finally able to select “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” after trying for three years to get the rights, Lewis said.

And they were right on target for their local audience. Despite the addition of two more performances on Thursday evenings, tickets are “97-98 percent sold,” the director said.

Rehearsals have been going for almost eight (holiday-interrupted) weeks for the production, which runs Jan. 20-Feb. 12. It is directed by Lewis and stars Shelby Brienzo of Parker as Belle and Matt Wessel of Highlands Ranch as Beast. Both have appeared at PACE before — Brienzo is in her fourth production and Wessel said he has been in over a dozen shows since

2010. All three also have day jobs, but, as Lewis said, theater is “the passion side of life.”

Lewis is an RN by training and has recently “switched to the IT world.”

He’s especially fond of the French fairy tale because of its concept of learning to care about people, he said.

“It needs to be heard!”

Wessell, who lives in Highlands Ranch with his wife, Bethany, and three children, is creative director for a telecom company. He also contributes to Inspire Creative by managing the company’s website and community outreach. The Beast is one of his dream roles — “it tops them all!”

Brienzo, who has married recently, graduated from Legend High School and attended University of Northern Colorado for two years. She is a mortgage loan processor by day for DHI and is finishing up her degree, she says. She is also part of Wands and Wishes, a group that appears at little girls’ birthday parties. “She gets paid to be a princess,” Wessel joked.

Both stars speak of auditioning for the upcoming “Hairspray,” at PACE, but Brienzo may have to back off, since she is building a house in Parker. (Auditions are open to the community.)

The first rehearsal with a full orchestra was coming up soon after we talked with them on Jan. 10. They have been working with a recorded rehearsal score supplied with the script.

After “tech week” comes opening night on Jan. 20.

Phyllis Vandehaar offers daylong painting workshop in Littleton Watercolor, ink technique to be explored on Feb. 4

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“If art isn’t challenging, enlightening, enjoyable and requiring the thinking process, there is something wrong,” she said.

Local artist Phyllis Vandehaar, who spent much of her career teaching art at Arapahoe High School, is still sharing her expertise some years after she retired.

On Feb. 4, she will spend the day, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., leading a workshop called “Playful Watercolor and Ink” for members and guests of the Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County. It will be held at Littleton’s First Presbyterian Church, 1609 W. Littleton Blvd. (Doors open at 8:30 a.m.)

Participants will draw with a device called the Speedball Elegant Writer calligraphy marker, a pen that flows into “a lovely array of fluid values when water or watercolor paints are applied.”

Vandehaar will demonstrate and show examples, then participants will start with a small piece of paper and move on to a larger, more detailed work.

Registrants are asked to bring two black Elegant Writer pens (one broad 3.0 and a thinner 1.0 — about

creating her own artwork in watercolor, mixed media, pastels, charcoal and collage.

“Although she is capable of realistic imagery, she prefers to abstract out subject matter through looselyapplied color and brushwork. Her greatest sense of achievement is

inventing subject matter, using vibrant color, creating unusual relationships and simply making up things as she produces her art,” she wrote, adding, “I don’t know what I would have done with my life had I not been an artist!”

Cherry Creek junior Rashon Johnson shoots over Arapahoe’s Jared Johnson during the Jan. 14 Centennial League game played at Arapahoe. Rashon Johnson scored 18 points and had eight steals as the Bruins’ defense sparked a second-half surge in a 69-57 Creek victory.

Defense helps Bruins pull out win Cherry Creek pulls away in second half for 69-57 victory

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherry Creek’s first-year boys basketball coach Kent Dertinger and his staff talked a lot about defense during halftime of the Bruins’ Centennial League game against Arapahoe on Jan. 14 .

The players listened.

The Bruins used pressure defense to outscore the rival Warriors 20-8

in the third quarter and went on to notch a 69-57 win in the Arapahoe gym.

“We have the ability to play good defense , it’s just whether we want to, so that’s what we kind of talked about at halftime,” Dertinger said.

“The kids played really hard and they executed the game plan we had defensively in the third quarter. I don’t know what we were doing in the first half.”

Arapahoe coach Brad Jansen, whose team made nine 3-point shots during the game, watched the game slip away after halftime as it took Arapahoe 4 minutes, 39 seconds into the third period before collecting its first field goal.

“We turned the ball over 10 times in that quarter and you can’t do that against a team like Creek,” Jansen said. “They are 12-1 for a reason. We played really hard — just have to play smart and take care of the ball.”

Cherry Creek, ranked seventh in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, improved to 4-0 in league. Arapahoe is 2-2 in the Centennial League and 7-6 overall.

11-4 win over Heritage on Jan. 12, with three goals and three assists.

Walker Andrew, basketball, senior, Heritage: He scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the Eagles’ 79-48 win over Thornton on Jan. 10.

Reagan Chiaverini, basketball, senior, Chaparral: She scored 17 points to help the

Wolverines open Continental League play with a 40-21 win over Mountain Vista on Jan. 13.

Tommi Olson, basketball, junior, Highlands Ranch: She scored 22 points and had several steals as the Falcons forced 37 turnovers in a 90-37 Continental League win over Douglas County on Jan. 13.

Key moments Arapahoe led 33-29 when Creek went on a 10-0 run to grab a 39-33 lead with 3:34 left in the third quarter.

SEE BASKETBALL, P24

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Angelo Martinez, basketball, senior, Englewood: Martinez scored 22 points to go along with three assists and three steals in the Pirates’ 78-57 win over Bruce Randolph on Jan. 13. In six games this season, Martinez is averaging 26 points a game.

Upon further review, it’s still an honor

t was awhile ago that Tom Robinson had to make quick, steadfast decisions while coaching the Regis Jesuit boys basketball team.

Robinson was OVERTIME tasked with making more astute decisions as the replay official at the NCAA national championship football game between Clemson and Alabama on Jan. 9 “What a special honor it was,” said Jim Benton Robinson after he was selected as the Big 12 Conference replay official to work the game. “It was a responsibility for a game of that magnitude. During the game it wasn’t on my mind that I was holding the attention of the nation. It didn’t hit me until a little bit afterward.”

Robinson, a coach and teacher at Regis for 30 years, has worked for the Colorado High School Activities Association for the past 16 years after retiring as a coach.

He is currently a CHSAA associate commissioner. He’s been employed as a high school football official and an official in the Western Athletic and Mountain West conferences.

As a replay official at the college level, if something looks questionable, Robinson, 71, has to stop the game to confirm or change the call by the onfield officials.

“If you don’t have a lot of video, you have to piece it together,” Robinson said. “Most of the production crew at games knows what you need.”

There were several controversial plays that will be debated in the title game, especially the one when Hunter Renfrow caught a 2-yard touchdown pass with one second remaining to give Clemson the national title.

Many felt Renfrow was freed up by an illegal pick.

“There can’t be moving picks,” Robinson said. “A player can’t be moving.

It can be legal, but it can be illegal if a player is moving. That play was not reviewable.”

Robinson, who is the director of officials for CHSAA, will retire from the organization on June 30 but plans to keep on being a replay official for college football games.

Back to the basics Jared Yannacito was recently named the new head football coach at Golden High School and has a plan to rejuvenate the program.

Yannacito takes over a program that has averaged two wins over the past seven seasons, going 14-56 since the Demons’ last winning campaign in 2009 SEE BENTON, P25

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 23

“Defense was a big part of that third quarter and it was a really good team effort all around,” the Bruins’ Rashon Johnson said. “Everybody was scoring pretty well. We were slow in the first half but came out strong in the second.”

Key players/statistics Johnson, a 6-foot-3 junior, led the Bruins with 18 points and eight steals.

Senior Joe Owsley came off the bench and hit 4-of-5 3-pointers to wind up with 14 points. Senior Jalen Meeks had 11 points and five rebounds.

Senior Will Otten had 16 points for the Warriors. Junior Braxton

January 20, 2017J Rienders contributed 12 points and senior Kyle Lukasiewicz, Arapahoe’s leading scorer this season, finished with 11 points.

They said it “We turned the ball over 21 times and when you do that you are not going to win,” Jansen said. “What I said to the team was we never question your effort. You guys play like crazy.

We just have to learn to play hard and smart. Turnovers have kind of been our Achilles heel.”

Dertinger has preached all season about the value of defense.

“Defense is kind of what gets us going,” Dertinger said. “We don’t really have a guy that is going to put up 20 points or whatever each game so we try to get it going with the defense and move the basketball. We want to have

five guys out there that are threats and as long as we move the basketball, anyone can step up and score.”

Johnson agreed.

“Everybody is a threat, everybody from the starting five to the last man on the bench, we all can score,” he said. “Our intensity is what gets us go-

ing and our defense is what stops the other team.”

Going forward Cherry Creek hosts Grandview in a Centennial League game on Jan. 21, while Arapahoe goes to Cherokee Trail for a league game on Jan. 20.

Developmental Pathways Holiday Outreach Sometimes Santa comes in disguise as he did for about 700 people with developmental disabilities or delays this year. For more than a decade, the local community centered board Developmental Pathways has held their much-anticipated Holiday Outreach program.

Supported individuals and/or families in need are nominated to participate in this extraordinary program. The program nominees are asked to submit gift requests, and the generous supporters of Developmental Pathways fulfill those requests.

One parent had this to say about her encounter with Pathways’ undercover Santa: “Dear Donors, I wanted to express our overwhelming gratitude for all the donations to my family this Christmas. This has been such a tough year for me and my husband with my cancer diagnosis and treatments. We have tried to keep things as normal as possible for our kids. The gifts we received for Christmas were such a heartwarming blessing and brought so much joy to our kids. I look forward to paying all of your generosity forward once I recover and life gets back to normal. God bless you and your family.”

Developmental Pathways would like to thank all the donors, volunteers, and employees that put on their elf hats for a few weeks so that hundreds of families could feel the warmth of the Christmas spirit.

Rockies still tinkering as spring training nears Last season’s 75-87 finish was best since 2010

BY PAT GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS

A couple more arms for a shaky bullpen. Maybe another utility player or two. Possibly a long-term deal for outfielder Carlos Gonzalez.

Those are among the priorities for Colorado Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich with spring training just a month away. He’s not quite done tinkering with a team that’s added a new coach in Bud Black , a new first baseman in Ian Desmond — really new, too, having never played the position — and a left-handed reliever in Mike Dunn.

“We’re still fairly active and

engaged in both the free-agent market and the potential trade market,” Bridich said Jan. 10.

“The focus now is really on pitching, specifically on our bullpen.”

That’s why relievers such as Greg Holland and Joe Blanton remain on the Rockies’ radar as they try to repair a bullpen that blew 28 saves in 2016.

Bridich remains open to a new deal for Gonzalez, an All-Star who hit .298 with 25 homers and 100 RBIs last season. Gonzalez has been the subject of trade rumors over the last few seasons. He is paid $20 million this season, then is eligible to become a free agent.

“We feel like there’s a good chance we’ll be able to at least explore further,” said Bridich, whose team finished 75-87 last season, which was its best mark since 2010.

Bridich doesn’t plan on adding a veteran arm to a youthful

starting rotation that includes Jon Gray, Chad Bettis — who was recently pronounced cancer-free after dealing with testicular cancer — Tyler Anderson and Tyler Chatwood.

“I’m very excited, as are many people in the organization, about the core group of starters we have already at the major league level, and the type of talent we have got in our potential starters coming up at our Double-A and TripleA levels,” Bridich explained.

Meanwhile, down in Florida, Desmond has started his conversion to first base. The All-Star outfielder is “working out daily,” Bridich said, after Desmond signed a $70 million, five-year contract in December.

“As we get closer and closer to spring training, the efforts to help him learn the position will increase and ramp up,” Bridich added.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) solicits technical information or comments on proposed flood hazard determinations for the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community.

These flood hazard determinations may include the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries or zone designations, or the regulatory floodway. The FIRM and, if applicable, the FIS report have been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These determinations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that your community is required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.
