ELECTION 2016

Local races not as loud, but just as important Candidates running for state, county, local offices

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com With all the hubbub around the national election, it can be easy to forget there are local ones happening all around us.

Colorado Community Media will catch up to the candidates in the coming weeks, but here’s a quick roundup.

McKenna Birka, of Aurora, competes at Special Olympics Colorado’s Mile High Regional Skating Championship on Feb. 6 at the South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial. Figure skating allows the 11-year-old to “just let loose and be who I am,” she said.

Cassie Davidson, of Aurora, competes at Special Olympics Colorado’s Mile High Regional Skating Championship on Feb. 6 at the South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial. “I’ve been doing this for a long time,” said Davidson, 33, who said she has been figure skating for about 10 years. “I love it. It’s fun.”

Special Olympics Colorado’s Mile High Regional Skating Championship drew athletes from throughout the metro area to the South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial on Feb. 6. Many of the same athletes, plus many more from across Colorado, will return to the site March 5 for the skating portion of the Special Olympics State Winter Games. The mission of Special Olympics Colorado “is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities,” according to the group’s website.

The land of special districts Centennial has more than 100 special districts that provide services to residents

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Although Centennial became an incorporated city 15 years ago, it is not a fullservice city: Unlike other cities that provide residents with essential services — such as water, fire safety and transportation — it instead contracts them from separate, governmental entities called “special districts.”

The city has more than 100 of these districts.

“They are very important because they provide much of the core services for the folks here,” Mayor Cathy Noon said.

Special districts range in service and size. They can be as large as South Suburban Parks and Recreation — which covers six municipalities — or as small as a landscaping company for a homeowners association.

They provide regulation and maintenance for each component of the city. Some are more active than others, but all serve a purpose, city officials said.

The districts — which may also extend into other city boundaries — are “partners in a really nice community,” Noon said.

Each special district has a set boundary

Arapahoe County commissioners Three seats are up for grabs on the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners.

Republican incumbent Nancy Doty is leaving her District 1 seat to run for the state Senate post held by Democrat Linda Newell, who is term-limited. District 1 encompasses Bow Mar, Cherry Hills Village, Columbine Valley, Englewood, Littleton, Sheridan, Centennial west of Colorado Boulevard and unincorporated northern Arapahoe County.

So far, three Republicans are running to replace Doty. State Rep. Kathleen Conti, of Littleton, is one of them. Also vying for the post is Phil Cernanec, a member of the Littleton City Council and its past mayor.

His current term on council is up in November 2017, but he could run for another four-year term. The remaining District 1 commissioner candidate is Paulo Sibaja, a Centennial resident who is the chair of the Latino National Republican Coalition Colorado and a member of the Hispanic Advisory Board to the Colorado Republican Party. He also sits on the Advisory Task Force on Hispanic Affairs to the United States Senate Republicans.

The West Arapahoe Republicans will host a forum for the three candidates from 9:15 to 11:15 a.m. Feb. 13 at Bemis Library in Littleton.

In District 3, which covers eastern Centennial, southern Aurora, Foxfield, Bennett, Deer Trail and unincorporated eastern Arapahoe County, Republican Rod Bockenfeld is term-limited. Republicans Jeff Baker, Tom Coker and John Lyons want Elections continues on Page 7

Cole leaves imprint on cultural scene Greenwood Village reaped benefits of arts coordinator’s years of devotion

Special Olympian participates in his second X Games He and professional snowboarder Jaime Anderson earn 5th in slalom race Staff report Among the 200 world-class athletes at X Games Aspen this year was Cody Field, of Centennial. He was chosen for the second time to participate in the Special Olympics Unified Snowboarding duo slalom competition on Jan. 28.

Field, 23, has bipolar disorder and Asperger’s, but that doesn’t stop him from excelling in activities like Special Olympics.

Field returned to Snowmass for the second annual snowboarding competition. He was one of 10 Special Olympics athletes who partnered with 10 X Games athletes for the slalom races.

He was paired with Jaime Anderson, a 2014 Winter Olympics gold medalist. The duo finished the course in 41.6 seconds for fifth place.

The unified races “combine athletes — with and without intellectual disabilities — as teammates to showcase the power of Special Olympics Unified Sports,” according to a news release from Special Olympics Colorado.

Field began Special Olympics in 2004 with swimming. He’s since participated in softball, soccer, swimming, skiing, basketball and snowboarding.

He won three gold medals in snowboarding at the 2013 World Special Olympics Winter Games in South Korea and had been named to the Special Olympics Hall of Fame.

In 2014, he made the Colorado Rapids Special Olympics Unified Soccer Team, which has both Special Olympics and non-Special Olympics athletes.

Village Days, art exhibits, children and adult art classes, All Colorado Juried Show, Greenwood and Beyond Photography Show, Stretch and Tone, Curtis Dancers, Teen Art Board, poetry readings, Arapahoe County Art Scholarship, jazz concerts and much more … Jo Cole has kept it all running smoothly.

And then, there has been the day-to-day operation of Greenwood Village’s Curtis Arts and Humanities Center, with its ongoing exhibits open to the public five days a week and some special evening events … she managed it all.

Curtis cultural arts coordinator Jo Cole, who retired Jan. 29, has lived in Greenwood Village since 1962 and raised her three children there with her late husband. In 1983, she saw a request in the “Greenwood Honker” for a volunteer to bring art programs to the city.

She volunteered and, for a number of years, hung art shows at various locations in the city as she found them.

The city eventually decided to move the historic schoolhouse from the corner of Orchard Road and University Boulevard to its present location about a block west and use it for the community.

The school, originally completed in 1914, was restored and dedicated in 1991, and Cole started art programs from scratch, hiring Rick Brogan and Nancy Switzer to teach adult painting workshops. Children’s classes followed, as did Youth Art Month, when the gallery was filled with brightly colored work by schoolchildren.

The next Curtis exhibit might have been by sophisticated metro-area artists or per-

haps by Chinese painters.

She built relationships with many prominent artists, including Quang Ho, who recently exhibited with Daniel Sprick and also conducted a workshop.

Her final exhibit, “Less is More,” hangs through Feb. 19, with large paintings including color field, pure abstractions and semi-realism by Jahe Smith, Joanne Burney, Kevin Weckbach (who also teaches at Curtis), Bill Hayes, Nancy Switzer, Judith Bennett and Kevin Scott.

There have been related lectures through the years D Cole — often by the exhibit jurors “ or a featured artist, and at R times, a bit of music or poetry.

At 88, Cole plans to paint and write, visit family and enjoy cooking and painting with her 11-year-old granddaughter.

She said she grew up in Baltimore, in one of those row houses with the white front step that you see pictured. “Seven of us lived there, including Grandma,” she recalls. She was involved in art as a kid.

As the youngest of four sisters, a child of first-generation Italian immigrants, her first language was not English, but she learned in time to succeed in school.

She put herself through secretarial school and went to work for the Martin Company in Baltimore, where she met her future husband.

They moved to Colorado in 1956 and — lonely — she found an outlet in painting, according to her daughters.

In her mid-50s, she enrolled at Metro State University, graduating in 1982 and bringing that training to her work in Greenwood Village the next year. She says she needs to finish a master’s degree now in nonprofit management at Regis University.

Whatever develops next for Curtis, Jo Cole has left a legacy to the building and to her city, where she will continue to reside.

Donations are sorted in a back room of Habitat for Humanity ReStore and Goodwill’s shared space in Highlands Ranch.

“It’s the quality of donations that we are getting down here,” said Ryan Smith, chief retail officer of Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Photos by Alex DeWind

Scott Collins and Janene Newell attend the Habitat for Humanity ReStore grand opening in Highlands Ranch. The couple has renovated three kitchens with donated material from Habitat for Humanity. “The repurposing continues to prevent things from going to the dump,” Newell said. “It’s a great way to help everyone.”

Residents find ‘best for less’ in used goods Couple renovates kitchen with donated material

WHAT CAN YOU DONATE?

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Janene Newell and Scott Collins, a couple from Littleton, renovated their 200-square-foot kitchen with rich, oldworld furnishings donated to a nearby Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

The couple was initially quoted $100,000 for the remodel — they ended up spending less than half.

“The demographic was the cause of our success in the Littleton ReStore location,” Newell said, referring to the high-quality inventory in the thrift store.

The stores are generally located in areas of higher-income households. In Douglas County, where the newest location recently opened, the median household income was $102,961 in 2013, according to the American Community Survey. Arapahoe County had a median household income of $60,651 in 2013 and Jefferson County’s was $68,984. All were higher than Colo-

rado’s median household income overall, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore — which opened about a month ago at 8585 S. Poplar Way, Highlands Ranch — has had about 100 donations, according to Andrea Belbusti, store manager.

It’s the fifth ReStore to open in Metro Denver, but the first to share a loading dock with Goodwill. The idea is to make it easier and more convenient to donate items. ReStore accepts large home goods, such as furniture, cabinetry, appliances and tools, whereas Goodwill takes clothing, electronics, books and smaller items.

“We noticed a lot of people in this area with nearby ZIP codes were scheduling to

have donations picked up,” Belbusti said.

“Our goal is to have a ReStore within five miles of a potential donor in the South Metro area.”

That way, people can easily drop off donations and also shop for items in “perfect shape,” said Ryan Smith, chief retail officer.

Belbusti agreed: She sees mostly furniture, cabinetry and tool donations in good condition and of high quality.

Tom and Lindy Schneider, who live a mile from the Highlands Ranch ReStore, used to drive to downtown Denver to drop off their donations. They’re renovating their home and find it “nice to have a location close by.”

“We recently donated three pieces of furniture,” Lindy said. “And when our son went to college, we bought him a washer and dryer from a ReStore.”

Centennial resident Liz Strole, purchased kitchen appliances at a South Metro ReStore. She prefers to donate to Vietnam veterans, but she plans to take advantage of the new ReStore location.

“Now that this place is close, we will probably donate more,” she said.

For some, such as Newell and Collins, donating is a way to avoid waste and reuse items. Collins, a retired professional tennis coach, calls it “the best for less.”

Their kitchen is now equipped with a Wolf stove — a high-end appliance that can cost thousands of dollars — two ice makers, soft-close cabinet doors and rich, wooden cabinetry.

Newell, an HGTV channel devotee, doesn’t like when items from homes are sent to the dump. Instead, she prefers to repurpose materials.

“It’s a great way to help — the whole idea is to help other people,” she said. And “we could’ve never afforded our remodel otherwise.”

Swedish offers testing after needle scare B Hospital says infection unlikely, but urges precautions

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Swedish Medical Center began asking about 2,900 former patients to agree to free testing for the blood-borne diseases HIV-AIDS, hepatitis B and hepatitis C, after the hospital discovered a surgical technologist allegedly trying to switch a syringe of pain medication during preparation for surgery.

“There have been no reports of patient infection, but as a precaution we are contacting all patients who had surgery from Aug. 17, 2015, until Jan. 22 of this year, which is the time the individual under investigation worked at Swedish,” said Nichole Williams, hospital spokeswoman. “However, the only incident being investigated happened Jan.

High-schoolers get leadership opportunities Junior Achievement invites high-schoolers to sign up for JA Business Week, presented by Arrow Electronics Inc., at www.

JA Business Week students explore leadership concepts and build confidence alongside more than 120 of Denver’s business leaders. In addition to interactive workshops on marketing, business ethics and budgeting, the week culminates in a “Shark Tank”-style competition.

22, when a fellow employee reported seeing the technologist involved replace a syringe of pain medication with another syringe, which led to the termination of his employment at Swedish.”

Englewood police are investigating the case and have named Rocky Elbert Allen, 28, as a person of interest.

Williams said the hospital would not confirm or deny the identification of the individual provided by the police.

Dr. Matthew Fleishman, medical director of radiology at Swedish, said the safety and well-being of all patients is the hospital’s greatest concern.

“Swedish is my hospital and where my family receives medical attention,” he said. “Of course, we are very concerned about this incident, and the chances any of the patients were infected with any blood-borne disease are very low. But, to protect our patients and ensure they are not infected, we have professionals working around the clock

to reach out to make sure all those who had surgery during the time this man was working here are contacted and urged to undergo free testing to make sure none of the infections exist.”

Though not confirmed by hospital personnel, the concern appears to center on possible transmission of infection through reused needles.

Fleishman stressed the fact that during the Jan. 22 incident, the potentially mishandled syringe was identified and none of the syringes involved were used in the surgery.

He said there had been contact with about half the patients on the list, and by the end of the day Feb. 3, hospital personnel had talked to about 500 of the individuals regarding the case.

Cory Everett, chief of staff of the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations, said all surgical technicians are licensed by the state, and Allen’s license was suspended when Swedish notified

Bill aims to change concealed carry rules

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill making its way through the state Senate would eliminate the requirement for concealed carry permits for gun owners.

Senate Bill 16-017 is sponsored by state Sen. Tim Neville — a Republican from south Jefferson County who recently announced a bid for the U.S. Senate — and his son, state Rep. Patrick Neville, a Castle Rock Republican.

The measure would allow a person who legally possesses a handgun under state and federal law to carry a concealed handgun in Colorado without applying for additional permits.

If the bill were to pass both chambers and be signed into law, a person who carries a concealed handgun would have the same carrying rights and be subject to the same limitations that apply to a person who holds a permit to carry a concealed handgun under current law.

That includes the prohibition on the carrying of a concealed handgun on the grounds of public schools.

“This is an ability for people to defend themselves without paying a tax,” said Tim Neville of his bill, which has been referred to as “constitutional carry.”

“No other constitutional right requires a fee to practice,” he said. “There is no fee for free speech and there shouldn’t be for the Second Amendment.”

Despite repeated attempts, Patrick Neville could not be reached for comment.

The bill passed a Senate committee 3-2 on Jan. 27.

The Senate Finance Committee heard the bill Feb. 2 and it again passed with a 3-2 vote.

Next stop for the bill in the Republican-controlled Senate is the Appropriations Committee. If the bill were to pass the full Senate, it faces a tough audience in the Democrat-controlled House.

Democrats in the Senate have spoken out against the measure.

“Our permitting system for concealed weapons carry enhances responsibility by making sure applicants demonstrate the ability to safely use a gun before they are allowed to conceal it from plain view,” said Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Westminster. “It also ensures greater safety by making sure the applicant is not a known threat to society.”

Ulibarri believes that if this bill passes, it could put residents in danger. Provisions that the bill would eliminate include: background checks and fingerprint

GUN SALES RISE New federal data shows 2015 was a record year for the American firearms industry, with gun sales appearing to hit the highest level on record. According to the FBI Criminal Background Check System, background checks for gun purchases and permits jumped 10 percent in 2015 to 23.1 million, the largest number since the federal background check system began operating in 1998.

In Colorado, 342,839 background checks for firearms were approved in 2015 by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

That’s 33,000 more than 2014.

verification, the requirement to demonstrate competence with using a handgun, and the ability for Colorado sheriffs to deny or revoke permit applicants when an applicant has a protection or restraining order against him or her at the time of application.

As of last November, eight states have “constitutional carry”: Vermont, Montana, Alaska, Texas, Arizona, Wyoming, Arkansas and Kansas. Vermont has had “constitutional carry” since 1791, and Kansas was the most recent state to pass the law.

Colorado is among 23 states where legislators have introduced or are planning to introduce “constitutional carry” bills.

“I’m not sure if it makes (society) safer, but I would believe that a bill like this makes society freer,” Neville said, adding that three of the states that already have “constitutional carry” border Colorado.

“Currently we have the ability to open carry in the state, and it seems a little ridiculous that if someone puts a coat on, they become a criminal.”

Tim State Sen. Michael Merrifield, D-ColNeville orado Springs, who was involved in the original drafting of Colorado’s concealed carry statute, said the passing of the bill would make Coloradans less safe.

“Our current system of concealed carry permits has already enabled thousands of law-abiding, responsible gun owners to obtain their concealed carry permits,” Merrifield said in a news release. “This bill would eliminate those common-sense measures, and create a loophole to allow dangerous and/or untrained individuals to carry concealed, loaded weapons in public. I’m disappointed my Republican colleagues voted against the will of the majority of Coloradans by supporting this out-of-touch bill.”

In addition to Doty, a Littleton Republican who was the Arapahoe County clerk before being elected a county commissioner, state Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, wants to replace Newell. Kagan has also bumped up against term limits in his current seat. They are joined by the unaffiliated David Mayer.

south Denver, Littleton north of Littleton Boulevard and unincorporated Arapahoe County — five people are vying to replace him: Greenwood Village Democrat Jeff Bridges, Denver Republican Katy Brown, Greenwood Village Democrat Meg Froelich, Englewood Republican Rick Gillit and Englewood Republican Alex Wenzel.

Other elections Columbine Valley was scheduled to have an election in April, but it only got as many candidates as there were seats, so it has

been canceled. But its equally tiny neighbor to the north, Bow Mar, will elect town board members on April 5. Rick Pilgrim, the current mayor, is not running for re-election, so residents will choose a new one.

Voters in the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District on May 3 will replace board member Sue Rosser due to term limits. Scott LaBrash’s term is also up, but he’s eligible for re-election. Candidates have until Feb. 26 to file their intentions with the district.

VOICES

LOCAL

‘One more’ beats voice of defeat The other day I left my condo and headed for the gym. It is just a short walk from my building to the gym, and the back door of my building usually sees a lot of skier traffic returning from a day on the hill. That afternoon was no different as I found myself holding the door open for guests and neighbors who had their hands full of skis, poles, boots and kids.

And then as I made my way up the path, I ran into an amazing elderly woman carrying her skis on her shoulder like a pro and making her way down the path toward the condo, slowly but solidly for sure. I would never venture a guess as to her age, but her spirit and energy were that of an 18-year-old. I stopped and asked the woman if I could help carry her skis into the building and, still wearing her ski boots, she smiled brightly and said, “Thank you very much, but I think I have at least one more walk in me.” Then she laughed and added this, “Plus, I have to show my husband I still have one more in me too.”

Wow, what an inspiration for a workout.

How many times had I gone to the gym in the past and shortened my time on the treadmill or stopped short of the number of reps I wanted to do? You know how it goes, right? I plan on

doing 45 minutes, and at 38 minutes I convince myself that was good enough. Or I plan on doing 12 reps and get to 10 and say that’ll work. It’s so easy to talk ourselves out of doing just one more, isn’t it?

And I mean “one more” anything.

But not that day. My Michael Norton friend carrying her skis inspired me to comWINNING plete one of the best WORDS workouts I had in a long time. It was a little more time on the treadmill and a few more reps in the weight room, because as it turned out, I did indeed have at least one more in me too.

We all have at least “one more” in us, don’t we? We have at least one more sales call to make each day, one more friend to reach out to, one more customer to serve, one more employee to thank, one more hug to give, one more smile to share, one more person to

forgive, one more minute to listen, one more moment of patience, and one special person to love on just a little more. We all have “one more” something inside of us.

Now obviously, there are times when we have to listen to our bodies and know when we have had enough. Our awesome ski patrollers here will tell you, it’s always that “one last run” that can get someone hurt. When the legs are done, it’s always better to take that “one more run” the next day. And if we are driving, it’s always better to have that “one more” drink at home so we don’t risk hurting ourselves or others.

When it comes right down to it, it is that personal drive, that inner belief, and that tiny voice that can either tempt us to quit early or push through and beyond our goals and selflimiting beliefs. And that tiny voice can be so powerful and convincing when trying to get us to give up, that tiny voice can be a real smooth talker, if you know what I mean. It’s that other tiny voice that we want to tune our ears to, that tiny voice that says, “Keep going, you have one more in you.”

Valentine’s Day heart to tolerate

If you need someone else to tell you when to be romantic, you’re hopeless.

True love doesn’t happen once a year, in the middle of the Craig Marshall Smith shortest month.

every day.

The worst of the worst in this is giving someone a greeting card with a prewritten sentiment.

That’s the opposite of romance, and it’s disrespectful of every love song I have ever heard.

But millions upon millions disagree with me.

And millions upon millions will be spent on cards, flowers, chocolates and other baubles, all born out of a neglect for the deeper meanings of day-after-day devotion, passion and yearning.

It’s sort of like only going to church on Christmas or Easter.

Unfortunately, half of us are misbehaving.

You have heard of Ashley Madison?

League of Women Voters urges participation At 7 p.m. March 1, Colorado will be one of 15 U.S. states and territories that will participate in Super Tuesday — the mega media date when most states hold primary elections or state caucuses to determine their preference for presidential candidates and other national and state offices.

In Colorado, that means precinct caucuses.

Unlike other states that conduct primary elections, Colorado conducts precinct caucuses, a grassroots process that gives voters the opportunity to meet in groups to advocate and vote for political candidates that will represent them in the 2016 election.

Caucuses used to be held in houses or small community halls, but today’s events are usually held in larger places to accommodate more participants.

At a caucus, participants: • Speak on behalf of their favorite candidates • Vote for their favorites • Elect delegates to the next political countywide assemblies and convention. They also discuss and consider resolutions to be

and large scope that special districts provide, Centennial resident Laura Hoeppner worries they don’t offer the same accountability as a city council.

“City council members — those who represent us at a city level — still hear about problems with water and parks and recreation, but the city has no control over these things,” said Hoeppner, director of the film “Strong Sisters: Elected Women in Colorado.”

“They have a relationship, at best.”

Still, she also views them as beneficial because they reduce competition for city funding for other services and programs.

“I’ve always kind of felt like, ‘Wow, we are lucky because our fire department and parks and recreation services don’t have to compete with others (services) that might rank high for the city,’” Hoeppner said. “It protects those parts of the city.”

Many residents may not be aware of the number of special districts in Centennial, Noon said. “… They aren’t always familiar with the concept,” she said. But “we have good partnerships because the quality of life and community of life is certainly affected by what the districts do.”

Water, fire safety and parks and

recreation are among Centennial’s larger special districts.

Water Centennial’s water network was in place more than 50 years ago, well before the city was incorporated.

“They formed the community before we were a community, having an infrastructure in place,” Noon said.

The city’s water customers are served by more than a dozen companies, including Denver Water, South Southgate Water & Sanitation Districts and Willows Water District.

One of the largest, Southgate Water District, serves about 85,000 customers across Centennial, Lone Tree, Greenwood Village and Cherry Hills Village.

It acts as the middleman between Denver Water and paying customers. Denver Water provides water in the lines, reads meters, sends customers a bill and collects the money. Southgate Water District controls all repair and replacements of the water tanks.

The districts serve about 70 percent of residential homes and provide water to commercial buildings, such as IKEA off I-25, and developments around six light rail stations.

“If people have a question on their bill, they need to call Denver Water,” said David Irish, district manager of Southgate Water & Sanitation Districts. “If there’s water leaking in the street, they call

Keeping track of my mistresses is a fulltime job. Or it would be.

Did I give the necklace to Casey, or screw up and give it to my wife?

You know what? I think I gave the bath towels to Audrey, and the Kate Spade purse to my wife. What was I thinking?

If it makes a difference to you, and no one comes through, then please accept a Valentine from a stranger. Me. It renews on the 14th of every month.

No one sends me Valentines anymore.

Thankfully. Anyone who knows me, knows how I feel.

The ones who don’t, get a warning.

How’s that for acceptance? Pretty low on the charts, I admit.

Tell me you care for me on the 13th and the 15th instead.

Valentine’s Day was actress Karen Valentine’s idea.

No it wasn’t.

included in their party’s platforms.

Who can attend? Anyone who is a registered voter in the Democratic or Republican parties. While there are other political parties in Colorado, the Republican and Democratic parties are designated “major parties” based on the number of votes each party received in the 2014 election. Also, Colorado does not allow unaffiliated (independent) voters to participate in a caucus. If you did not register with a political party by Jan. 4, 2016, you can’t participate, but may attend.

This year, there’s another caveat. While Democrats will continue to conduct their presidential candidate polls, the Colorado Republican party will not. The reason?

The GOP requires that the Republican candidate who wins the caucus must be supported by the delegates at the GOP

The staff of 15 people works efficiently and outsources for help when needed, Irish said.

“It’s cheaper for Denver Water to have us in the middle,” he said. “We are naturally more responsive than a big entity like them.”

Fire safety The three special districts that provide fire safety for Centennial are Cunningham Fire District, Littleton Fire Protection District and South Metro Fire Rescue.

Coverage depends on location.

Littleton Fire Protection District is an entity of that city’s fire department that provides fire and emergency rescue services to about 80,000 residents in portions of Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties, according to its website.

It has two stations in Centennial: Station 14 at 6600 S. Colorado Blvd. and Station 15 at 2702 E. Dry Creek Road. The stations serve areas in west Centennial, such as

I wonder what kind of attention Valentine has received every Feb. 14.

“The day was first associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages (Wikipedia).”

The history of Valentine’s Day is far more interesting than what it has turned into.

Pre-made, store-bought objects and confections.

Isn’t that what you just did in December?

I am a big believer in making something with your own hands.

“We will always respond any time we get a call in these station areas,” said Kelli Narde, director of communications for the City of Littleton.

Cunningham Fire serves the far eastern portion of the city, while South Metro handles the central areas.

Parks and recreation Centennial has two parks and recreation districts — Arapahoe and South Suburban.

South Suburban Parks and Recreation — a regional provider that covers six municipalities, including Centennial, Littleton and Lone Tree — was started in the late 1950s

by Arapahoe County civic leaders who wanted to create a public park. The district primarily serves residents who live west of I-25.

Care made convenient Telemedicine allows doctors and specialists to remotely treat patients across Colorado from a single location

By Mike DiFerdinando | mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com

O

n some days, Dr. Robert Pratt sits in his Denver-area home in front of a tablet as he diagnoses patients for possible strokes at up to 15 different HealthOne affiliated hospitals.

Today, Pratt, a neurologist, is calling into the emergency room of Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, where a decision on whether to administer a potentially lifesaving clotting drug to incoming patients has to be made within an hour of arrival.

With the tap of a finger on the tablet screen, he zooms cameras in and out to focus on different parts of the body. He turns them right and left. He can flash images and words on the screen in the ER to gauge different neurological responses. He can order tests and prescribe medications instantly. If needed, an onsite nurse or doctor can lend a hand, but Pratt can handle nearly all of his examinations on his own.

“When we first started using it people used to be like, ‘Wow, I’m on TV,’” said Pratt, who added the technology allows him to be at bedside virtually. “We would get reactions like that. But now, people are perfectly comfortable.”

Pratt and the team at Sky Ridge’s emergency room are part of a growing trend of doctors and medical facilities offering patients telemedicine services.

With robotic cameras controlled through computer software programs and other technological tools, doctors can reach patients in remote or rural areas who otherwise wouldn’t have access to a certain specialist, like a neurologist.

“The old way was, you got on the phone and talked to someone,” said Dr. Adam Barkin, medical director of the emergency department at Sky Ridge.

“You had to describe everything. This is a much better way because this allows the consulting physician to do their own observation ... The key is to get that neu-

rologist on camera within that first three minutes.”

Though the technology has been around in different forms for nearly a decade, in recent years, increased comfort with technology and online video chatting has opened up a new world of pa-

tients who are not only comfortable with — but would sometimes prefer — an online appointment, Pratt said.

Efforts to find patients to talk to were unsuccessful because of the emergency and neurological nature of how technology is currently being used.

Care and convenience Samantha Lippolis, telehealth director of Centura hospitals, said Centura uses telehealth technology in outpatient settings as well as such emergency situations as strokes, and including pulmonary, cardiology, concussion management, sleep clinics, urology, genetic counseling and pre- and post-surgical consultations.

Centura facilities also use the technology for critical care for doctors who can’t be on call 24 hours a day but can visit the hospital virtually to make rounds.

Although telemedicine is largely limited to rural areas and specialist consultations and exams, Centura hopes to expand its use in coming years.

surers to reimburse health care providers for telehealth services in counties of all sizes. Previously, Colorado law had required reimbursement only for counties with 150,000 residents or less.

“Last year, legislation was passed (in Colorado) that all commercial payers, non-Medicare, will be required to reimburse for telehealth services in urban areas beginning in 2017,” Lippolis said. “What we all expect is that now we can offer telehealth to patients as a convenience.”

Neurologists are zebras According to Amy Maxe, service line director of neurosciences at Littleton Adventist Hospital, Centura has cameras at facilities throughout the state.

The facilities with cameras don’t have neurology coverage in their hospitals or their communities. Littleton Adventist provides the neurologist for all of these facilities remotely.

“If you’re in south Denver and you wanted to see a specialist that is in Thornton, that could easily take you an hourand-a-half in traffic,” Lippolis said. “We are giving it to patients as a choice and a convenience, and it’s up to them whether they want to see a doctor in person or if they would prefer to not have to drive.

We really see it as a way to offer patients choice and convenience.”

According to Lippolis, health insurance laws only allow for reimbursement of telemedicine for patients in rural areas or in situations where they otherwise wouldn’t be able to see a specialist.

majority of the patients that we see,” Maxe said. “But it could be a seizure patient or something else. The other thing that we are starting to use it for is teleneuropysch evaluations.”

As the technology advances, doctors treating patients not only across the state but also from across the country will become more commonplace, Pratt said.

A patient in California will be able to see a specialist in New York without leaving his or her hometown.

“As long as I can get a good Internet connection I can work,” Pratt said. “Medicine and treating patients is the same, regardless of what state you are in.”

But doctors must be licensed in each state they practice, Pratt said.

From a nursing perspective, telemedicine is helpful because it allows nurses to diagnose a patient in a more comprehensive manner, said nurse D.J. Sasso, assistant vice president of neurosciences and cardiovascular services at SkyRidge.

“In some of the rural areas that only have nurse practitioners or PA (physician’s assistant), they utilize this technology as quick access to a physician,” Sasso said.

Another benefit to telemedicine, health professionals say, is cost savings.

According to Rebecca McBride, the telehealth program coordinator for Centura Health, the typical cost of a machine is between $20,000 to $30,000 — a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time specialist.

“I think telemedicine is the next frontier of where medicine is going to go, especially for the rural hospital or a critical care hospital that doesn’t have certain specialists,” Barkin said. “You’re going to see more and more about telemedicine on a regular basis with our behavioral health patients, too. We actually do remote assessments for psychiatric patients that need evaluations. Just like how neurologists are rare, like zebras, not every hospital can have psychologists or behavioral specialists.”

‘Hanging in there’ is theme of exhibit ‘Lasting Impressions’ show is tied to longevity of popular American play

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The next play scheduled at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton is an American classic: George Kaufman’s and Moss Hart’s “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” a perennially popular comedy that first opened on Broadway in 1939. In keeping with the show’s longevity, the next art exhibit scheduled for the Stanton Gallery at THAC is called “Lasting Impressions.”

Four metro-area artists will collaborate on this show, which runs from Feb. 17 to March 30 in the gallery on Town Hall’s first floor. They are Charlotte Strauss, Kathleen Lanzoni, Kathy Cranmer and Bronwen Jones.

Charlotte Strauss, of Lakewood, describes herself as a contemporary realist.

She started drawing, painting and doing art projects as a child and enrolled in an oil painting class at 11. By 13, she was entering competitions and later majored in art at the University of Colorado. She has been an active member of the Art Students League of Denver, studying with Quang Ho, Kim English, Rob Gratiot, Jane Jones, R.S. Riddick and John Lencicki. Vivid color and attention to detail are her trademarks.

Kathy Cranmer is a watercolorist and botanic illustrator who “tries to create art that celebrates the beauty of the world around me. When creating a botanical illustration, I strive to render the subject in a manner that is scientifically accurate and highlights its unique beauty. My still life paintings juxtapose botanical subjects, often from my garden, with China, crystal and other man-made objects of beauty.”

She wrote that her “Morning Shadows” is a watercolor “inspired by the morning light reflecting off objects sitting on my kitchen

“The Trumpet Player” by Charlotte Strauss, one of four artists with work included in the “Lasting Impressions” exhibit, which is open through March at Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery. Courtesy photo table on a chilly winter morning.”

Kathleen Lanzoni is a watercolorist who paints in the studio and en plein air (on location outdoors). She grew up in Montreal and California and “for over 24 years has enjoyed endless subjects to paint that living in Boulder, Colorado, offers.”

She studied at the Art Institute of Boston and Massachusetts College of Art. She is a signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and Western Watercolor Society and also belongs to Plein Air Artists, Colorado American Watercolor Society and National Watercolor Society.

She wrote: “The magic of layering

translucent paint allows the light to shine from the surface, through the colors, to us as observers.”

Bronwen Jones writes that she purchased her first watercolor painting on a trip to Italy in 2004 with her daughter and “was inspired to make watercolor a part of my life.” She started attending workshops and often works from her own unusual point of view. Art in light and shadow interests her and she often works from her own photographs. She paints landscapes, city scenes and coastal North Carolina. She is a Colorado Watercolor Society member and officer.

IF YOU GO “Lasting Impressions” will hang in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton, from Feb. 17 to March 30.

Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Mondays through Fridays and during performances. A “meet the artists” reception will be Feb. 20 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Information: 303-794-2787, townhallartscenter.org.

Lakewood girls tough to defend

Rock Canyon senior Abigail Kochevar helped the Jaguars win their first Continental League girls swimming championship Feb. 6 at the Heritage pool. Kochevar won two individual events and swam the anchor leg for Rock Canyon’s 400-yard freestyle relay team. Photos by Jim Benton

Jaguars win first Continental title Kochevar, Heritage’s Andrews share spotlight with three wins

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Abigail Kochevar and Rock Canyon had a banner day at the Continental League girls swimming championships Feb. 6 at the Heritage swimming pool.

Kochevar, a senior who is the defending 100-yard backstroke state champion, won two individual events and anchored a winning relay team as the Jaguars captured their first ever league swimming title.

Rock Canyon, coached by Nicole Vanderpool, finished with 510.50 points with Regis Jesuit placing second with 429 points.

Heritage was third with 416.50 markers.

Kochevar, who was named the league’s Swimmer of the Year, was first in the 50yard freestyle and the 100 backstroke with times of 23.63 and 54.98 respectively.

She was also on the Jaguars’ league

Heritage sophomore Kylie Andrews won the 200-yard freestyle in meet and league record time. She also captured the 100 butterfly and swam a leg on the Eagles’ 200-freestyle relay team at the Continental League swimming and diving championships held Feb. 6 at the Heritage pool.

Rock Canyon captured the team title.

Lakewood girls basketball coach Chris Poisson is once again guiding another state-contending team as the Tigers move toward a fourth consecutive 20-win season.

Teams like Highlands Ranch, Grandview, Broomfield, ThunderRidge, George Washington and Pine Creek are a few of those schools that are considered challengers when the state playoffs roll around, but Lakewood should be included among those teams.

Lakewood (163) is averaging 63.6 points, 28.1 rebounds, 16.6 assists, Jim Benton 16.5 steals and 5.9 OVERTIME blocks per game, which are all above the per-game national averages compiled by MaxPreps.

Poisson has height on his team in 6-foot-3 sophomore twins Camilla and Kira Emsbo plus three other players who are 6 feet tall, including senior captain and all-around athlete Mckenna Bishop.

And the Tigers have a terrific scorer in 5-7 senior guard Mackenzie Forrest, who became the school’s all-time leading scorer earlier this season. Senior Marisela Perez keeps every player active with her assists and steals.

“Mackenzie is our consistent scorer, and she is playing her best basketball right now,” said Poisson. “The Emsbo twins are gaining in skill and confidence. McKenna Bishop is our athlete, and we have good shooters in Anissa Barela, Maddie Miller and Maddie Couglin. We can have a real balanced attack in terms of scoring.”

Lakewood was 5-3 early in the season, losing to IMG Academy of Bradenton, Florida, and Vista Murieta (California) in the La Jolla County Day Tournament, and then to Grandview in the Grandview Invitational.

“Our team is improving, and we are much better than we were in December,” confessed Poisson. “Our players are comfortable in their roles now, and with our depth we can create matchups in our favor.”

Proud to be an American It was gratifying to watch the Ponderosa wrestling team while the national anthem was played prior to the Mustangs’ Continental League match against Chaparral on Feb. 4.

Almost all high school athletes and students politely stand, and most hold a hand over their heart, while the anthem is played.

Ponderosa 220-pounder Cohlton Shultz and a couple of his teammates did a little more. They were actually singing along with “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

State swimming championships set The first two winter sports state championship events will be held Feb. 12 and 13.

Class 4A swimmers will compete in state girls swimming championships at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton.

Swimming preliminaries begin at 4 p.m. on Feb. 12. Diving prelims are set for 9 a.m. Feb. 13 with swim and dive finals scheduled to start at 2 p.m.

The 5A state swimming championships will be held at the same time on the same days at the Edora Pool Ice Center (EPIC) in Fort Collins.

championship 400-freestyle relay team. When she dove into the pool for the anchor leg she was well behind, but she wound up stretching to touch first at the finish to edge Heritage swimmer CJ Mitchell.

“I was not expecting that at all,” Kochevar said of the relay finish. “It was like an adrenaline rush. I saw her a little bit and then just tried to kick as hard as I could.

“The 100 back is my best event, but the 50 free was pretty good. I feel like I could possibly win both

the 50 free and 100 back at the state meet. I hope so. It was so much fun for Rock Canyon to win. We’ve never won before, so it’s obviously exciting.”

The Class 5A state championships will be held Feb. 12-13 in Fort Collins, and there will be at least one other Continental League swimmer who will be a serious contender.

Kochevar shared some of the spotlight at the Continental League championships with Heritage sophomore Kylie Andrews, who also won three events. Andrews set a pool and league record of 1:50.43 in finishing first in the 200-yard freestyle. She also won the 100 butterfly and was on the Eagles’ first-

place, 200-freestyle relay team.

“It was a fun race because there were great vibes and all my season training paid off,” said Andrews.

“So then it was like both of the races felt good.”

Andrews’ teammate, junior Emma Spotts, won the 100 backstroke.

Mountain Vista had two individual winners. Senior Jamie Nats captured the 100 freestyle, and sophomore Natalie Arky was the league 200 IM winner.

Highlands Ranch coach Andy Farner was tabbed the league’s Coach of the Year, and the Falcons also had a league champion in freshman Dani Roney, who won the 500 freestyle.

is doing this season in the Continental League.

In seven league victories, the Falcons, topranked in the CHSAANow. com poll, have a winning margin of 40.4 points a game.

The closest call Highlands Ranch has encountered was a 46-37 win over ThunderRidge on Jan. 22, when the Grizzlies were ranked second.

Highlands Ranch is 19-1 with its only loss a 76-60 setback to Bellevue, Washington, on Dec. 19 in the Nike Tournament of Champions.

Bellevue guard Anna Wilson, sister of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell, was the most valuable player for Bellevue in one of the top divisions of the Nike tourney; Bellevue is unbeaten and is Washington’s top-ranked team.

Gilbreath eyes Gophers’ starting spot Sophomore Lucas Gilbreath, a 6-foot-1, 208-pound lefthander, is vying to be one of the University of Minnesota’s starting pitchers as the Gophers open the college baseball season Feb. 19 in Arizona

against the University of Utah.

Gilbreath, a graduate of Legacy, pitched 18 times in relief for the Gophers as a freshman. He compiled a 1-3 record with a 5.46 earned run average with 30 strikeouts and 18 walks in 28 innings.

He turned heads last summer pitching for the St. Cloud Rox in the Northwoods League. He went 5-1 with the league’s secondlowest ERA, 2.45. He fanned 53 batters in 44 innings.

Kudos to Continental League swim volunteers A couple weeks ago while attending a boys basketball game, there were no rosters available for fans and I was told to look online to get rosters.

It turned out to be a guessing game the rest of the contest trying to identify players.

So it was real nice to get heat sheets and results printed out and stapled together by the Heritage volunteers at the Feb. 6 Continental League Swimming Championships.

Highlands Ranch girls trounce Regis Jesuit Falcons’ determined defense takes team to 65-24 victory

points while Starks added 16 and Tommi Olson eight.

Noelle Cahill was the top scorer for Regis with five points.

Highlands Ranch, once again, had trouble at the foul line as the Falcons converted on only eight of 27 attempts.

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com There was a long wait for the Continental League girls basketball showdown between Highlands Ranch and Regis Jesuit to start on Feb. 5 in the Highlands Ranch gym.

A lengthy Level 3 game and a junior varsity contest that went into overtime delayed the start of the varsity game between two teams that entered the game unbeaten in the league.

Highlands Ranch, however, made quick work of Regis in the featured affair as the Falcons used a determined defensive effort and crisp passing to set up myriad easy baskets in a 65-24 romp.

The Falcons, top-ranked in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, improved to 6-0 in the league and 18-1 overall. Tenthranked Regis is now 4-1 and 116.

“Our kids are playing hard and that’s all I want,” said Highlands Ranch coach Caryn Jarocki.

Key moments Highlands Ranch forced six turnovers in the first 4:43 of the opening quarter, took a 14-2 lead

Senior Symone Starks of Highlands Ranch dribbles after making a steal in the Falcons’ 6524 Continental League victory.

Photo by Jim Benton and never looked back.

“That was our goal, to pressure them and get them to panic,” admitted Falcons senior Symone Starks. “Our defense is so important. You can’t get off without stop defense. We try to rotate as fast as we can and talk to each other.”

Key players/statistics Highlands Ranch’s defensive pressure forced the Raiders into 23 turnovers, and Regis shot just 19 percent from the floor.

Leilah Vigil, a 5-foot-9 sophomore, paced the Falcons with 19

They said it Highlands Ranch is working to improve defensively.

“We’re getting better and better on defense, and we really took it on as a challenge that that’s an area we can get a lot better at,” said Jarocki. “I loved our passing against Regis. And we only had three turnovers in the first half, which is good too. We’re trying to cut down on those too.”

Free-throw shooting for the Falcons is a work in progress.

In statistics through 19 games, Highlands Ranch was making 55 percent of its free throws.

“We practice them all the time; it’s in between their ears,” said Jarocki.

“In games we just have to slow down, take a deep breath and calm down,” added Starks.

Going forward Highlands Ranch has wins over all league teams in contention. The Falcons wrap up their Continental schedule Feb. 16 against Castle View and Feb. 18 versus Rock Canyon. Regis hosts Chaparral on Feb. 12.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF FEB. 8, 2011 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A gracious Lamb can learn more about a problem-filled situation than one who is openly suspicious of what could be happening. A friend might offer some well-directed advice.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting adjusted to an unexpected change might be difficult for the Bovine who prefers things to go according to plan. But help could come from a most welcome source.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This could be a good time to get a head start on those careerrelated plans. The sooner you check out the pluses and minuses, the sooner you can act on your information.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A personal situation you thought would no longer present a problem suddenly could produce some surprises. Try to sort things out with the help of trusted colleagues.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) An upcoming move holds both anticipation and anxiety for Leos and Leonas who have some big decisions to make. Advice is plentiful, but it’s up to you to decide which way you want to go.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone from a previous project could provide valuable guidance on how to handle a current problem, especially where it might involve a legal matter.

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) A business situation presents some unexpected complications. But rather than try to handle them all at once, it would be best to deal with them one at a time.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You just might get what you want, despite the odds against it. In any event, be sure to thank all those people involved who believed in you and went to bat for you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Before you even hint at an accusation, remember that you’ll have to prove what you say.

So be sure you have what you need to back up your comments.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A romantic situation takes an unexpected turn that favors some Sea Goats, but causes others to reassess how they’ve been handling the relationship.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A surprise turn of events could unsettle the Water Bearer. But it also might help open up an entirely different way of working out an important matter.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A smoothly running operation could bump up against an obstacle. This is where your ability to assess situations and make adjustments can restore things to normal.
