Vendors make season bright

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Still scrambling to holiday shop?

For those who were looking on Dec. 2, the Annual Arts and Crafts Fair lent a little help.

The event at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial, put on by the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, brought more than 70 vendors featuring pottery, jewelry, clothing, quilts, photography, painting and more from Colorado craftmakers and artists, according to the district.

Three Girl Scouts were at the fair to raise money for a new prosthetic leg for a dog injured in dog-fighting.

“These dogs are the first to get put down, not adopted,” said Justin Finesilver, one of the owners of The 3D Printing Store, which has a local location just south of Centennial at the Centennial Airport.

The proceeds the girls raised went to Pawsthetics, a nonprofit effort of Finesilver’s business. The printing store has made prosthetics for more than 20 animals in the United States and other countries.

From left: Julianna Porter, Diana Baker and Lauren Smith — Girl Scouts from Troop 59 in Lone Tree — stand at a booth to sell self-made crafts, pet beds and dog treats to raise money for a 3D-printed prosthetic leg for a dog in Connecticut on Dec. 2 at the Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial. The proceeds go to Pawsthetics, a nonprofit effort of The 3D Printing Store — including a location at Centennial Airport — to make prosthetic aids for animals around the United States and beyond.

Truhlar talks about service on city council District 2 member pushed for better streets, sidewalks

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

&

Doris Truhlar, an attorney at Truhlar and Truhlar law firm, is the outgoing incumbent councilmember in District 2 nearing the end of her first term, which expires in January. She ran for re-election but came in second in a four-way race that was won by Tammy Maurer. Truhlar, who has a law degree and a master’s degree in mass communications from the University of Denver and a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Missouri, has lived in what’s now Centennial for 34 years. Here are her reflections on her time on council.

QA

What do you feel is your best accomplishment in your time on city council?

I believe that I was the person on council who suggested that we double the amount spent on upgrading our streets and sidewalks. It Truhlar is my belief that getting all the streets and sidewalks in decent shape (at least good condition) is really important and a way that the city can positively impact many of our residents. I also think that, where we can, we need to try to comply with the (federal) Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. I think Centennial is doing a good job of getting the streets and sidewalks in better condition.

What’s a story about a citizen you met or interacted with that stuck with you?

Geraldine Dallas was someone who made really good suggestions, and was willing to meet to discuss projects. She came to my office for a meeting and was very

active. I felt fortunate to have met and worked with Geri and with her friend, Chris Heurtevant. They both worked especially on the trash and stockpiling issues (“stockpiling” is the accumulation of various items in one’s yard). When I lost my re-election campaign, Mrs. Dallas wrote me a lovely note. I am grateful to both of them. They are very involved citizens, “models” for the rest of us.

What did you learn about your city during your tenure that you might not have known before?

There is so much. Our city attorney, Robert Widner, was especially good about educating (councilmembers) about what we can and cannot do. I learned about the budget and budgeting process — the budget is an ongoing process that lasts the whole year. I had not realized how much time and attention it took.

What was your most challenging moment on council? What do you think is the biggest upcoming challenge for the next council?

I think it is a challenge to make sure all streets and sidewalks are in at least good condition. Some of them are still rated poor. Centennial is not a full-service city and cannot solve some of the problems (in terms, for example, of zoning that existed prior to Centennial’s formation), but the streets within the city (except for major arterials) are in our (purview), and we should make sure that they are in good or even great condition.

The council has been harmonious. While disagreements make interesting press, they are not particularly good for the city.

What would you like to say to your constituents?

I would like to say “thank you” to my constituents for the opportunity to serve the City of Centennial as a city councilmember. It has been a wonderful experience, and I appreciate everyone who contacted me and who showed an interest in our city. Serving on the city council has been extremely gratifying, and I will miss it very much.

Popular gift, housewares shop closing its doors Compleat Lifestyles has lost lease, will close toward end of year

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A store decked out in bright, neoncolored signs saw a flow of customers in and out of the doors that would make you think it was in the throes of a grand opening.

But the doors at Compleat Lifestyles, a shop that offers gifts, kitchen wares and other home goods, are soon closing.

The store, which has stood in different forms at its location on South University Boulevard near East Dry Creek Road in Centennial for nearly 30 years, was up for a lease renewal but lost the lease. Its closing sale started in mid-November, and it will close Dec. 31 or when it runs out of merchandise, whichever comes first.

“The number one thing people say is how sad they are,” said Connie Stevinson, who has owned the store for the last six years. Stevinson, a Centennial resident, hears from “people who have been coming since the store was across the street.”

Stevinson bought the store from its previous owners, Joan Dennen and Barb Trexler, who opened the store’s first location — then named The Compleat Gourmet, using an archaic spelling of “complete” — in 1984 in a strip mall just south of Arapahoe High School. In 1989, it took a new name, Compleat Gourmet and Gifts, and moved across the street. It currently sits at 7592 S. University Blvd.

Decades later, Compleat Lifestyles has built up a loyal customer base.

On Nov. 28, dozens of shoppers and a steady flow in and out of the store underscored that — friendly chatter fluttered through the store as artificial Christmas trees stood for sale. The slow

Connie Stevinson, owner of Compleat Lifestyles gift and housewares shop in Centennial, stands in the store holding a traditionally woven Rwandan basket Nov. 28. Stevinson began selling them after meeting members of a women’s collective in Rwanda in 2009 that makes them.

PHOTOS BY ELLIS ARNOLD sway of holiday music wafted through the shop, where people looked at products in every aisle and nook.

Jane Gusmus, a Centennial resident of 15 years, went in to shop amid the crowd that afternoon.

“I hate to see it (close),” said Gusmus, who shopped at Compleat more than five times per year on average and first came there at least a decade ago. “Because this was a go-to store of mine, for gifts and just things we need.”

Over the years, Gusmus bought hostess gifts, thank-you gifts, holiday gifts and “gifts for me,” she said with a laugh.

“I really hate seeing local owners leave,” Gusmus said. “I really like to support them — it’s really unfortunate.”

Stevinson, who was a certified public accountant and chief financial officer in the Denver-area health-care field before buying Compleat from its two founders who wanted to retire, started down the path to owning the store when she took a “life-changing” trip in 2009, she said.

“I actually had been to Rwanda and was asked by a women’s collective to find a new outlet for (its) handicrafts,

and I started wholesaling them,” Stevinson said. The group, Gahaya Links, started after the 1994 Rwandan genocide to economically empower women who were left as widows, single mothers or orphaned girls, according to its website. It makes traditionally woven baskets and jewelry.

“At the time I met them, they had been selling Rwandan baskets to Macy’s,” Stevinson said.

People in the group learned Stevinson worked in business, and she started selling the handicrafts at gift shows in New York, Atlanta, Las Vegas and Denver.

That’s how she met Dennen and Trexler, who eventually took on the products in their store on consignment.

“I still sell them today,” Stevinson said.

Compleat’s closing is one more example of a changing retail landscape in Stevinson’s eyes. Big-box stores and Amazon will be what customers are eventually left with, she said.

“It’s important for the public to understand that if (you) can buy something locally from a local busi-

ness, (you’re) supporting” your city with sales tax revenue and supporting your community, Stevinson said. She lamented the trend of people coming into physical stores and looking at a product in person, then viewing it on their phones to buy it online. “People want to have their cake and eat it too.”

The lease ends Dec. 31, and Compleat lost the lease because its Denver-area property owners have other plans for the space, Stevinson said.

“They said they would announce the plan at a later date,” she added.

As a business person, she’s not bitter about the change, though, and she plans to consider other locations where she could reopen the store in the metro area. She won’t rule out a reopening, but there’s no guarantee.

“It’s an expensive landlord market right now,” Stevinson said.

Stevinson was a longtime shopper at Compleat herself before owning the store. And judging by the customers, demand for a new store won’t be in short supply. Gusmus planned to take advantage of the sale again.

“I’ll be back,” Gusmus said.

Marijuana money and education in Denver metro schools Pot-tax revenue accounts for 1 percent of total state education funding

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jefferson County Public Schools is hiring six more social-emotional counselors for 14 elementary schools.

Douglas County School District has one additional school counselor at each of its nine middle schools.

Littleton Public Schools can start a new program on substance abuse prevention.

And, in Adams 12 Five Star Schools, there’s a new bullying prevention program.

The school districts can thank state marijuana sales for the extra boost to mental health, counseling, dropout and other programs that help students socially and behaviorally.

School officials say they are glad to have the additional money — regardless of its source — for programs they otherwise couldn’t fund.

“Marijuana in Colorado is a done deal,” said Connie Bouwman, deputy superintendent of Littleton Public Schools. “The voters have clearly spoken. That being the case, we have a responsibility to continue to educate our students on the effects of alcohol and drugs. The dollars we receive from our portion of the marijuana tax fund two substance abuse specialists to help us further our educational efforts.”

In 2012, Colorado voters approved Amendment 64 that allowed adults 21 and older to consume or possess marijuana and required the state to set up a regulatory structure for the retail marijuana industry. That amendment, as well as later bills, also mandated a sales tax with money going to the Colorado Department of Education.

Since 2015, the Colorado Department of Education has received $230.8 million from marijuana revenue, comprising about 1 percent of the more than $5 billion the state gives to school districts. That money is divided into two main accounts — the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund and the Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) fund.

Most of the school programs are supported by four grant programs in the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund, which focus on bullying prevention, behavioral health, early literacy and drop out prevention.

The School Health Professional grant has awarded the most money from all Marijuana Tax Cash Fund grants, distributing $16.5 million during the life of the grant program.

Littleton was one of 36 school districts to receive money from the most recent distributionof this grant, which at $11.9 million accounted for the largest amount from the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund.

“These specialists provide training for school staff and help coordinate prevention activities,” said Diane

WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM In 2012, Colorado voters approved Amendment 64, which allowed adults 21 and older to consume or possess marijuana and required the state to set up a regulatory structure for the retail marijuana industry.

It also mandated an excise tax — a specific tax on marijuana — with the first $40 million collected to be reserved for school construction.

The tax revenue comes into the state’s coffers in two ways.

1. The excise tax The first $40 million from the excise tax on wholesale retail marijuana goes into the state’s Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) fund. BEST also receives income streams from the Colorado State Land Board, spillover from the Colorado Lottery and interest on the assistance fund. School districts, Boards of Cooperative Educational Services, charter schools, Charter School Institute and the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind may apply for the grants and must provide matching funds.

ABOUT THE TAXES resulting from Proposition BB, a successful statewide ballot measure in 2015 that allowed the state to keep the surplus in marijuana tax revenue.

This year, the state Board of Education approved $295.6 million in projects for school construction across the state in annual grant awards from the BEST program.

Any money above the $40 million from marijuana sales goes to the Public School Fund, which is run by the state treasurer’s office and distributes fund throughout the state.

BEST also received a one-time disbursement

2. Marijuana Tax Cash Fund In 2014, the state Legislature created the Marijuana Tax Cash Fund to collect sales tax revenue from retail and medical marijuana.

Revenue from that fund must be spent the following year on health care, monitoring of the health effects of marijuana, health education, substance abuse prevention and treatment programs and law enforcement.

This is the fund from which grant money is awarded for programs that address mental health, bullying prevention, drop-out prevention and early literacy.

Leiker, director of communications for Littleton Public Schools. “They also provide education, assessment, case management and treatment referrals for LPS students and families.”

Jeffco schools was also one of those recipients, receiving $825,164, an amount it will get annually for two more years depending on funding availability. Those grant dollars will pay for social-emotional counselors at 14 elementary schools that feed into Jefferson, Wheat Ridge and Lakewood high schools — the communities within the district that are closest to areas that allow retail sale of marijuana.

“Early, consistent intervention is critical to student physical and emotional health,” said Kevin Carroll, chief student success officer for Jeffco schools. “As educators we understand and value that the social and emotional well-being of our students, as well as their physical health, directly impacts their ability to fully access learning opportunities. We are very excited to have this additional support for Jeffco kids.”

The district’s Office of Student Services also was able to hire a student support coordinator to lead substance abuse prevention efforts.

“The goal is to really focus on prevention, building relationships with kids and practicing social-emotional skills early and often,” said Erin Sullivan, Jeffco schools’ social-emotional learning coordinator, who also wrote the grant.

The Douglas County School District was also awarded three-year funding totaling $2.44 million from the Health Professional Grant, which will add one full-time counselor for prevention at each of the district’s nine middle schools. These counselors will focus on substance use and mental health prevention.

“I think it’s wonderful to have someone dedicated to really getting ahead of the problems and doing prevention work,” said Zac Hess, director for health, wellness and prevention for DCSD. “We know from research that’s the best way to combat it. What we hope is that it’s less intervention, less putting out fires, because we’re preventing the fires from being started in the first place.”

Of all the districts applying for the Health Professional Grant funding, Denver Public Schools — the largest district in the state — has landed the most money, logging $2.78 million from 2016 to 2020.

Other districts, such as Cherry Creek Schools, Mapleton Public Schools —which includes parts of Denver, Westminster, Northglenn and Commerce City — and Adams 12 Five Star are also using money from the Marijuana Cash Fund to fight bullying, prevent at-risk kids from dropping out of school and bolster literacy.

The $74,000 that Adams 12 received from the Bullying Prevention and Education Grant will go to professional development, parent education nights and the purchase of a Buddy bench at Westgate Community School, a charter school.

“The CDE Bullying Prevention and Education Grant has given us a framework, structures and a toolbox to enact real, sustainable change in our school and larger community,” said Amanda Novak, dean of culture for Westgate Community School. “Our students feel empowered to speak out and stand up for themselves and others in the face of disrespect and bullying. Our community knows how to access support and resources, and there is an honest dedication to creating a positive and safe school.”

Jeffco will spend its three-year

How is marijuana taxed?

Excise taxes: Colorado levies a 15 percent excise tax on wholesale marijuana, which is the product before it is sold to customers.

Sales taxes: The state also imposes a 15 percent sales tax on retail marijuana as well as the regular 2.9 percent sales tax on retail and medical marijuana. Local jurisdictions may levy their own sales taxes.

How much money comes to the Colorado Department of Education from marijuana taxes?

In 2015-16, marijuana tax revenue for the Colorado Department of Education was $86.3 million. That number dropped to $54.2 million in 2016-17, but increased to $90.3 million in 2017-18. However, to put that into perspective, the marijuana tax revenue from 2017-18 was roughly 1.6 percent of the state’s K-12 education budget of $5.6 billion.

Source: Colorado Department of Education $607,447 grant from the Student Re-engagement fund — the largest amount awarded in the metro area —to focus on mentoring, social-emotional strategies, credit recovery and case management in five schools.

With money from the same program, School District 27J, which has schools in Thornton, Brighton and Commerce City, will focus on supporting students in its Career Readiness Certificate Program where students can acquire a National Career Readiness Certificate in combination with a GED diploma.

“The Career Readiness Certificate Program allows students who are significantly older and have so few credits accumulated that it would be challenging for them to earn a traditional high school diploma prior to turning 21,” said Innovations and Options Principal Kenlyn Newman, with School District 27J. Mapleton Public Schools and Denver Public Schools are also addressing student re-engagement strategies with the grant money. By implementing programs at five schools that focus on improving academic intervention and improving attendance and behavior.

Jeffco and Englewood schools are the only two districts in the metro area using grant money for early literacy programs.

The Early Literacy Grant will bring more than a half million dollars into Clayton Elementary in Englewood over the next three years to specifically address literacy instruction.

“Our Early Literacy Grant has allowed our staff to engage students in rigorous learning aligned with the Colorado Academic Standards and 21st Century Skills,” said Jenny Buster, principal of Clayton Elementary.

“Through the use of evidence-based instructional resources and pedagogy, we are able to target the needs of all learners.”

Recount certifies Alston’s council win in District 4 Fleming, just 15 votes behind, had requested second look at tally STAFF REPORT

Arapahoe County conducted a recount for the Centennial City Council District 4 race on Nov. 28 after candidate Charlette Fleming requested it as of the prior week. The recount certifies Marlo Alston as the winner Alston with 1,649 votes.

test in Centennial’s Nov. 7 elections by a long shot. Fleming’s count dropped by a single vote to 1,634, while Alston’s and John Miquel’s stayed constant, compared with the original results certified Nov. 21.

Alston stayed ahead with 34.3 percent of the vote, with Fleming close behind at 34 percent and Miquel coming in at 31.8 percent. The race saw 4,812 total votes cast.

Pointers for postal package preparation STAFF REPORT

The U.S. Postal Service has been busy making sure every sleigh is ready to go this holiday season. Postal workers are ready to deliver special gifts, and the postal service has some tips on how to box a package to help ensure the holidays come off without a snag.

First, select a sturdy box that is strong enough to protect the contents.

If you are reusing a box, totally remove or obliterate all previous labels and markings with a heavy black marker. The post office provides free Priority Mail boxes in a variety of sizes.

Make sure heavy items are in a sturdy box with heavy packing tape, and that no contents are shifting.

Place cushioning all around your item until you cannot hear it move inside when you shake it.

Use newspaper to stuff glass and fragile, hollow items such as vases to avoid damage. When mailing framed photographs, take the glass out of the frame and wrap it separately.

Remove batteries from toys. Wrap and place them next to the toys in the mailing box. Keep new batteries in the original packaging.

In addition to packaging the items

correctly, labeling is important when shipping a package. Make sure to use the proper address. Don’t guess. For correct spelling of city names and state abbreviations, or to find a zip code, go to www.usps.com.

Make sure addresses are clearly printed and that all address elements, such as apartment numbers and directional information (ex: 123 S. Main St. Apt. 2B), are included and clear. Include both “to” and “from” information on packages, and only on one side.

Place a card inside the package that contains the delivery and return address. This ensures the package can be delivered or returned should the mailing label become damaged or fall off.

Mark packages “Fragile” if the contents are breakable, and mark packages with food items as “Perishable.”

Finally, don’t use twine around your box. Use high quality 2-inch packaging tape.

You can pay for and print your postage at home using Click N Ship at usps.com, or you can stop by the post office.

The postal service has created a video on package preparation. To watch it, go to www.youtube.com/ watch?v=b4xGpzn2s5k.

These days, a press conference is more like a guess conference QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

T

he story goes that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil.

In Rosedale, Mississippi.

In exchange for musical genius.

(Tommy Johnson’s character in the film “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?” is an allusion to that contract.)

What would you ask for in exchange for your soul?

Fame, fancy cars, and big cigars? To be forever young? A significant weight loss?

Or maybe six figures and a na-

tional spotlight for four years?

Would you be willing to stand in front of a hundred people, and a national television audience, and say with conviction, “All men are created equal’ has been widely misinterpreted”?

That blue is red and night is day and denial is a river in Egypt?

The ability to contour a fact into a new fact is something to behold.

In fiction it’s called “believable lies.”

I am a big believer in believable

lies, but only the harmless kind.

Humor is based in rearranging commonly held beliefs.

Steven Wright said, “A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I’m afraid of widths.”

I once told a class that Monet and Manet were the same man.

Some of them believed me.

It was a reminder that people in a position of authority can convince some people of almost anything.

When I attended umpire school, I was told over and over to “sell”

t s t the call, even if I wasn’t certain. o Never, ever say, “Out?” w I had to say “Out” with the p belief that I was right, no matter what.

I was never told, however, to choose sides, and influence the outcome on behalf of the team I had chosen.

It’s possible to believe in someone who is wrong most of the time, whose allegations are refutable, who does far more harm t t SEE SMITH, P13 w t b p t c c m c r 1 a b

Instead of putting down last year, try building up next year

t t t is usually at this time of the year, or maybe even sooner, that we hear someone t we know say something like, “I am so glad t m this year is coming to an end.” i Or, “I can’t wait for the year to be over so I b can start fresh again next a WINNING year.” I actually overheard c someone say that on last New WORDS Year’s Eve they had a really c h bad feeling about 2017 and then sure enough it had been. p And in their words, “It has been the year from hell.”

Oh my goodness, there is no doubt that we can look back on these past 11 months, or any prior year for that matter and find war, violence, politiMichael Norton cal unrest, unhealthy rivalries, divorce, death, heartache, disease, natural disasters, tragedies and more horrific events and situations than we know what to do with. And it’s no wonder that at this time of the year, or maybe even sooner, many people are looking for an escape route into next year.

But here’s the thing, if we go looking for the bad in life, we will certainly find bad things. If we look for the good, we will also find the good.

We should never put our blinders on when it comes to reality. Now that works both ways, doesn’t it?

GUEST COLUMN

Mike Coffman

merica has not overhauled its tax code system since 1986. Changing the tax code is challenging due to the complex impacts it can have on both our personal finances and businesses.

While tax reform is not easy, the House last month took on this challenge and passed H.R. 1, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.” HR 1 will reform, simplify and modernize our current tax system. I believe such tax reform is a must to grow our economy, create more jobs and raise wages.

For me, the process started with two simple questions: What would tax reform mean for

Colorado and for our families? What effect would it have on our country? The answer is twofold. I strongly believe that any tax reform must first provide incentives for small businesses, which are the engine that drives economic growth in the United States, and second, it must provide tax relief for hardworking Americans and their families.

As a former small business owner myself, I understand the hurdles small businesses face and the challenges many go through just to keep their doors open.

It’s a sight to behold.

COFFMAN FROM PAGE 12

One of the biggest challenges facing them is the onerously high income tax rates small business owners pay when they become successful. Under the current tax system, most small business owners “pass through” the profits of their business as personal taxable income. If the business is successful, those small business profits can be taxed at the highest individual marginal tax rate, which is 39.6 percent. Capping these small business rates at 25 percent (the lowest since 1931) will give small business owners an incentive to continue to grow their businesses.

For the hard-working middle class, the bill that cleared the House calls for the doubling of the standard deduction to $12,000 per individual and to $24,000 per married couple. This means far fewer people will need to itemize to file their taxes, saving them both time and money. It also includes an additional $600 in child care tax credit, bringing the total to $1,600 per child. This increase in the credit will help relieve some of the financial pressure on working parents.

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

I mean when people use that expression, they are usually referring to putting blinders on so we ignore the bad things happening around us or uncomfortable situations we are trying to avoid.

So the other side then is this, that we also shouldn’t put blinders on to ignore all the good and positive that is happening all around us as well.

Instead of finding an escape route into next year to quickly move away from our trouble spots, what if we looked to build upon our brightest moments and use this past year as our launching pad into next year? Even if we had only one bright spot, and I would bet that we could find more if we really tried.

Success begets success, good is a force multiplier, a positive attitude fans the flames of inspiration. The only thing that negativity does or that looking for the bad accomplishes is that they bring the fire extinguisher to the party of opportunity.

If we proclaimed last year, before the New Year even started, that it was going to be a bad year, then of course that is what we would have strived to prove out. We placed our stake of

He never told me that he knew American history when he didn’t. He never chased skirts. He never turned his errors into triumphs, and, most of all, he was never boastful.

The silver lining is this: I appreciate some people far more than I did before last November, and I appreciate some things — like good music, good art, and good literature — far more than I did before last November.

The legislation will also help middleclass families by bringing back the jobs lost to other countries when U.S. corporations have moved overseas due to our nation’s corporate tax system.

Our corporate tax code pushes business overseas through a combination of two factors. The first is that, at 35 percent, our corporate rate is now the highest in the industrialized world, and secondly, we are unique among our international competitors who don’t tax overseas profits when they re-enter their country. U.S.-based companies today pay taxes to both the host country and to the IRS when bringing their profits back to invest in our economy — at a 35 percent rate. The net result is that U.S. corporations not only have been incorporating in other countries, but those that are still U.S.based are keeping their profits overseas. In both cases these businesses reinvest their profits overseas instead of bringing profits back to help build a stronger U.S. economy. Corporate profits aren’t just about benefiting the wealthy; middle-class families rely on these publicly traded corporations for their tax-deferred retirement savings (i.e., 401K) as well as defined benefit pension funds like PERA. No doubt, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office

(CBO), this legislation, without factoring in any economic growth, is projected to add $1.5 trillion to the debt over the next 10 years. However, the same CBO has stated that each 0.4 percent in economic growth will generate $1 trillion in tax revenues to the federal government over that same time period. The economy has already moved from 2 percent to over 3 percent growth due to a reduction in regulatory burdens and in anticipation of tax reform. With tax reform, I believe we can have sustained economic growth

that will not only help pay down the debt but provide increased opportunities for American small businesses, workers and their families in Colorado and in communities all across America.

The time to strengthen our community and its economy with a fair and simpler tax code is now.

negativity in the ground and by God, come hell or high water, we are going to make sure it’s bad for us and everyone else.

Let’s turn that around and proclaim that the New Year will be filled with abundance, overflowing with opportunity, abundant in hope and encouragement, and topped off with a year full of loving relationships.

And should we use 2017 as our launching pad and make that proclamation, will we not stand up and strive to prove that out as well? I bet we would. And I bet you, you reading this column right now, you would too.

So how about you? Have you gotten caught up in the bad things that happened last year and are 100 percent focused on those?

Or are you looking at what you did accomplish in the past 12 months and have a plan to build upon each success?

Either way I would love to hear all of your stories at gotonorton@gmail. com. And when we can forget the escape route and start building our launching pad, it really will be a better than good week.

Locally built Mars probe almost ready for launch InSight, manufactured

by Lockheed, will study Red Planet’s interior

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A locally built robotic lander destined for Mars is almost ready to take off, and engineers at Lockheed Martin Space Systems are excited to watch it leave.

The InSight Mars lander was largely built at Lockheed’s Waterton Canyon campus, as part of a joint effort between NASA and a host of international agencies. The lander, scheduled to set down on the Red Planet in November 2018, will use a seismometer and a soil probe to study the interior of the planet.

The hope is that better data about Mars’ core will lead to a better understanding of planetary formation, said Stu Spath, InSight’s program manager.

“The problem is that Earth is a little too active to conduct these kind of precise experiments,” Spath said. “On Mars we’ll be able to detect information about the planet’s interior from the reverberation of meteorite impacts.”

The lander was originally intended to launch last year, but problems with vacuum seals on the scientific instru-

ments forced a delay. With the problems resolved, InSight should be ready to blast off in May, which is the next time the planets align in a way that’s conducive to interplanetary travel.

Scott Daniels, the program’s assembly test and launch operations manager, is cautiously optimistic.

“It takes a million things to go right, but only one thing to go wrong,” Daniels said. “We take nothing for granted.”

BIKE

while bike sharing is a popular concept, most programs are offered by a city, like Denver or Seattle, or by an employer, such as Google or Charles Schwab. Hecox said Meridian is the only business park in Colorado, and the second in the nation, to offer this service.

While Phase I, which cost about $90,000, moves forward better than expected, plans for Phase II are underway with a push to seek business and residential partnerings and plans to double the number of bicycles.

The Meridian’s landscapers are responsible for keeping bikes evenly distributed when they notice too many bikes at apartments, CH2M or the light rail station, which is where Hecox has noticed the largest usage.

“CH2M is very big on sustainability,” Weber said. “Since the M-Bikes have been delivered we have had employees sign up for the program who ridden bikes on their lunch hour to visit restaurants or just to take a ride for some exercise. Adding the M-Bike program just seemed to be the right thing to do for our employees.”

FROM PAGE 10

Employees at Toastmasters, an organization that helps develop communication and speaking skills, and the engineering company CH2M now ride for free since the companies paired up to purchase a station at that campus.

“They brought the program to us to see if we were interested and we agreed to take part,” said Linda Weber, CH2M’s regional facilities operations manager. “Since Toastmaster is the company that has a building close to the CH2M campus we invited them to join in, too.”

As part of the partnership, the CH2M brand gets more exposure.

“We have our logo on the front of the bike basket and it is fun to see bikes throughout the Meridian Business Park with our name showing,” Weber said. “It makes you wonder who is riding the bikes with our logo on them.”

M-bikes lined up at one of 11 stations in the Meridian International Business Center, ready to be unlocked and ridden by the community.

New DCPA artistic director brings lifetime of preparation

W

for families all over the metro area.

“We’re the Rocky Mountain region’s largest lighting event, with most of our 60 acres lit up, as well as 130 animated animal sculptures,” said Sean Anderson-Vie, public relations manager with the zoo.

hen Chris Coleman’s mother shelved her acting dreams to be a mom, she started doing theater programs in the family’s local Southern Baptist church. That’s where Coleman first discovered the magic of the theater while he was growing up.

So, you might say he’s been training for his new position as the artistic director of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ Theatre COMING his entire life.

ATTRACTIONS Company “Digital entertainment and screens have become so ubiquitous that they’ve exhausted their ability to fascinate us,” Coleman said. “Theater is an antidote to that because it’s human. Instead of staying close to the surface, it invites to go deeper.”

Coleman is the fourth Clarke Reader person to have this title in the company’s nearly 40 years, and will join the company in May. Until then, he will work with managing director Charles Varin and associate artistic directors Nataki Garrett and Charlie Miller to finalize the 2018-19 season.

Before coming to Denver, Coleman served as artistic director of Portland Center Stage for the past 17 years, where be developed seasons that blended classic, modern and new works, as well as a playwrights’ festival, education programs and community events.

Of its world premieres, 52 have gone on to play on more than 115 stages across the country and internationally.

As artistic director, he will oversee programming of the company’s eight- to 10-play season of shows; the annual Colorado New Play Summit, and the experimental works of Off-Center. Additionally, the Theatre Company provides artistic and production support for select productions by DCPA Cabaret and DCPA Education.

“I like the focus Denver has on community,” he said. “There’s so much to work with here, and I’m excited to understand what’s possible on these stages.”

When he was first getting started, Coleman co-founded and was artistic director at Actors Express in Atlanta, a company he co-founded in the basement of an old church in 1988. This experience taught him about the theater world, and running a business — both skills that have proven useful over and over in his career.

Now he’s ready to bring his talents to the Denver theater world.

“I’m most excited about making work in these rooms,” he said. “I’ve never felt more strongly about the ability of art to impact audiences and the world.”

Shining a

light on the season

Zoo, botanic gardens, downtown offer holiday beauty

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Even though Grace Ramírez is a Denver native and works for the City of Denver, it’s still a thrill to see downtown and the Denver City and County Building all lit up for the season.

“It’s been part of our family tradition for years,” said Ramírez, senior adviser for community affairs.

“It’s a touchstone for a lot of families, and even though the lights are different every year, we have decorations we use every time. People have their favorites, which they are on the lookout for.”

During the holiday season, Denver and surrounding cities have for years lit up the night with flashing and twinkling lights, music and family fun. All visitors need is a coat.

The holiday lights at the Denver City and County Building have been a feature of the holidays since 1932, though its roots go back to 1919.

The Denver Zoo’s annual Zoo Lights is entering its 27th year, and the Denver Botanic Gardens has hosted Blossoms of Light at its York Street Garden for 29 years, while the facility’s Chatfield Farms location has played host to lights for nine years — first as Trail of Lights, and this year as Santa’s Village.

Because of this, each has become part of the season

The Denver Zoo’s 60 acres are full of lights and animated animal sculptures during Zoo Lights, which runs through Dec. 31.

The zoo sees plenty of engagements, Anderson-Vie said, and Blossoms was the site of so many that it started an engagement package.

“For people who want to propose, they can buy one of these, which provides them an hour to set up on the Green Roof, on top of our Offshoots Café,” said Erin Bird, communications manager at the Denver Botanic Gardens. “They can bring champagne up there and up to three guests to celebrate with them.”

The City and County of Denver municipal government moved to its current location in 1932, and the tradition of lighting the building the Friday after Thanksgiving continued.

Malpiede eventually convinced Denver Mayor Ben Stapleton in 1926 that city hall, then located at 14th and Larimer streets, should be decorated for the holidays. Stapleton gave him $400 for equipment and decorations that year, and with that money Malpiede and four city electrical inspectors bought

Interacting with the light The challenge with traditional activities is bringing people back with something new, and this year visitors will get to interact with the lights in different ways.

The lights at the Denver City and County Building are synced to a music show, which begins at 5:30 and 6:45 p.m. Those looking to get even more hands-on can volunteer to actually switch the lights on.

At Blossoms of Light, there’s an interactive light display set up in the theater that features a large field of sound-reactive, animated LED lights. As Bird explains, the lights react to the tones of voice and of drums.

But the biggest change is at Chatfield Farms, where the Trail of Lights and its country approach has been replaced with a North Pole theme.

“Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there, and we’ll even have live reindeer,” Bird said. “Tickets also get you hayride, and we have a Christmas cinema set up as well.”

No matter where one looks, a chance for holiday traditions old and new.

Exhibit shares students’ memories of trip to England

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

CALM AFTER THE STORM

In May, 16 Arapahoe Community College and Colorado Mesa University students headed across the pond to England for a 12-day art-making journey to record impressions of architecture, art, food and culture — individual visions of scenes both ancient and contemporary, according to Trish Sangelo, ACC program coordinator. “London is very much a blend of old and new,” Sangelo said.

“Brick and glass exist side by side, the new reflecting the old, offering an inspiring contrast for artists.”

Those memories are now being shared in an exhibit at ACC’s Littleton campus.

The travelers visited, recorded and photographed scenes dating to ancient Roman occupation, as well as cutting-edge modern — plus the British Museum; street scenes; the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio; a cruise on the Thames River …

Other spots with visual and intellectual appeal included Cardiff Castle, Roman Baths, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Wellington Arch and St. Paul’s Cathedral and Garden.

“The Study Abroad Program provides a variety of for-credit international courses, fostering intercultural understanding through the study of art. These classes allow students to immerse themselves in a global experience, providing them with a different perspective on culture, theory, history, art, architecture and the economy,” Sangelo adds.

She also said that 49 art students are going to Japan next June. We’ll look forward to that exhibit.

Polls drive up interest, but are not all that accurate

Littleton senior Justin Cutter goes up to take a jump shot during the Nov. 29 game against Arvada. Cutter led the Lions in scoring with 30 points as Littleton won the season opener, 79-40.

Littleton boys win basketball opener Lions kick off season with 79-40 home victory over Arvada

BY BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s boys basketball team gave the home fans a lot to cheer about as they controlled the tempo of play from the opening tipoff to the final buzzer while besting Arvada in the season opener on Nov. 29.

“We are excited about this group and what they can do. We have quick guards, bigger guys to help us on the boards, plus a couple guys who will help us who transferred to Littleton last year and had to wait until this season to join us,” Coach Ryan Fletcher said. “We are a veteran team. We are excited about the guys we have on the roster and the way we are playing as a team. I think this will be a turnaround year for us.”

He said the Lions will push the pace at both ends of the court and the whole game plan starts with defense.

“We will apply full-court pressure to cause havoc and turnovers that will get our offense going,” he said. “On offense we will run the floor looking to go to the basket but we also can hit our outside shots.”

The Lions applied full-court defensive pressure from the opening tipoff. Littleton took the lead 10-9 midway through the first quarter and led 24-11 going into the second quarter, but Arvada rallied and cut Littleton’s lead by halftime. But the second half belonged to the Lions. Their defense produced turnovers and the Lions turned most of those turnovers into points as they went on to win the game, 79-40.

“We pushed the pace at both ends of the floor and that made a difference for us,” Fletcher said after the game.

“We had a lot of guys taking the floor with the varsity for the first time. I think it took them a little time to settle down but they did. I am proud of how they played and this

Point guard Jason Levy drives to the hoop for Littleton despite the efforts of Arvada defenders Leo DeHerrera, 23, and Quintin Terry, 34, during the Nov. 29 season opener for both teams.

The Lions controlled the tempo of the game as they won 79-40. is a great way to start the season.”

Justin Cutter was the leading scorer for the Lions with 30 points, which included seven baskets from three-point range. Teammate Liam MacDonald helped the Lions cause with 17 points.

Cutter said it was a good game for the team and for him.

“We played strong defense and did it well,” he said. “On offense we moved the ball around, worked our plays and scored points.”

Cutter, who transferred to Littleton from ThunderRidge High School, said one of his strengths is his outside shooting. He added that he is working on also scoring by driving to the basket.

Littleton continues non-league play as the Lions were scheduled to face three opponents as they take part in the Dec. 6-9 Spartan Invitational Tournament at Berthoud High School. The Lions also will play a road game against crosstown rival Heritage on Dec. 12.

he veracity of preseason basketball polls is often ridiculed.

Yes, polls mean little, since a lot will change during the season.

Polls are speculative, especially the preseason ones, and teams still have to prove themselves during games.

Teams seldom win OVERTIME by reputation alone.

Still, polls are interesting and popular.

CHSAANow.com released its preseason basketball polls Nov. 27 and there were plenty of area teams ranked Jim Benton in the Top 10.

Rock Canyon, buoyed by the return of its dynamic backcourt of Sam Masten and Tyson Gilbert plus three other returning regulars, was top-ranked in Class 5A. The Jaguars were state semifinalists last season.

Golden has seven seniors back from the 2017 state runners-up and the Demons were ranked No. 1 in the preseason 4A boys poll. The Demons lost to Valor Christian in the 2017 state title contest.

ThunderRidge, a semifinal team last season, was fifth in the 5A rankings and Chaparral eighth. Holy Family was fifth and Valor eighth in the first poll of the season.

Faith Christian, the Class 3A runner-up last season, was second and Lutheran eighth in the boys preseason poll.

Cherry Creek, a semifinalist a year ago, was second-ranked in the preseason Class 5A girls poll, with 2017 runner-up Lakewood fourth, Highlands Ranch fifth, Ralston Valley sixth, Horizon seventh and Castle View 10th. In the Class 4A preseason girls poll, Golden was fourth, Valor seventh, D’Evelyn eighth and Holy Family ninth. Lutheran was seventhranked in the 3A girls poll and Faith Christian 10th.

Polls are a source for debate all during the season. Coaches and players often say they don’t pay attention but almost everybody knows about teams that are ranked. One of the favorite chants for students is `overrated’ when a top-ranked team is struggling.

Ryan Casey oversees CHSAANow. com and summed up the attractiveness of polls that always create conversation.

“I caught all three seasons before my senior season,” said Montoya. “I played some shortstop my junior year. Growing up I was always a catcher/ shortstop. During my club season I didn’t catch at all and wound up getting recruited as a middle infielder. I like shortstop way better. I was ready to play shortstop coming into high school ball after summer ball.”

Montoya led the Continental League with a .662 batting average, which ranked fourth among all Class 5A hitters. She was the league leader in runs scored with 32, stolen bases with 24 and on-base percentage at .685. She tied for first with 32 runs batted in and was second with a 1.140 slugging percentage.

“Things went pretty well,” said Montoya. “Going into the season with everything that went down, I was able to help lead the team and re-establish ourselves because we were kind of the underdog. I was just hoping to hit and field the ball as best as I could.”

She obviously hit well and also had a .924 field percentage with five errors in 66 total chances.

too much emotion until there was about two laps to go. I started to think it was possible and then when he crossed the checkered flag, it was surreal.”

Etc. Two teams from the Highlands Ranch Community Association finished first and second in the second-fourth grade division of the 2017 CARA Volleyball State Tournament held Nov. 4 at the Tony Grampsas gym in Golden. The Crushing Waves, coached by Brenda Chavez, took first and the Purple Crush, coached by Kelly Katsnelson, finished second.
