Arapahoe County, Colorado • Volume 12, Issue 12

s Valentine’s Day approaches, it’s appropriate to reflect on some of the many great loves throughout the ages. Cleopatra and Mark Antony; Romeo and Juliet; Scarlett and Rhett — each following their hearts against the odds. Now, add to that list five endearing Centennial couples that, collectively, have been married for more than 280 years. Challenging the odds, as well as statistics indicating more than one in three marriages end in divorce, these Holly Creek Retirement Community residents offer some practical and humorous advice for keeping it together for so many years.

Bill and Marily Keebler will celebrate 61 years together on June 7. The couple credits their strong faith, a lot of “stick-toit-iveness” and “knowing when to pick a fight and when to let things simmer.”

You can’t hurry love

Centennial residents Jack and Jana Vente have been married for more than 60 years. The couple immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands in 1952, eventually making the United States their home. They say one of the secrets to an enduring relationship is good cooking and to never take an argument too seriously.

City again is ranked as safest Centennial’s crime numbers best in state, 41st in the nation Staff report For the eighth consecutive year, Centennial has been named the safest city in Colorado, among those with a population of more than 75,000. It ranks 41st out of 432 cities of that size nationwide, according to the publication City Crime Rankings 20122013: Crime in Metropolitan America, published by CQ Press. The number is down from previous years. CQ Press ranked Centennial 23rd among 400 cities in its 2010-2011 report, and 16th among 400 in its 2011-2012 report. “This eight-year accomplishment as the safest city in Colorado is truly remarkable. It reflects the Noon dedication of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office to keep the city safe, year after year,” said Mayor Cathy Noon. “This is a great accomplishment and privilege for all who live, work and play in Centennial.” Other Colorado cities and their rankings include Arvada at 59; Longmont, 73; Fort Collins, 116; Boulder, 120; Westminster, 147; Greeley, 173; Thornton, 175; Aurora, 235; Lakewood, 259; Colorado Springs, 278; Denver, 328; and Pueblo, 354. The crime-rate rankings of the cities and metropolitan areas are calculated using six crime categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft. These categories have been used for determining city crime rate ratings since 1999. The rankings include all cities of at least 75,000 residents that reported crime data to the FBI in these categories. City Crime Rankings is one of five annual reference books published by CQ Press that analyze and rank states and cities in various categories.

Doty doing double duty Commissioner still serves as clerk and recorder By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com

Ben and Betsy Casillas joke they are in an “arranged” marriage. An apartment complex maintenance man played matchmaker with the two, eventually setting them on course for a marriage that has lasted 36 years to date. They say their secret is not to rush into a relationship and to always give each other space. “Being joined at the hip” is not always a good thing.

Married for 64 “very happy years,” Fred and Beverly Rein have weathered many storms and agree that good communication is the key to a lasting relationship. The Colorado natives said that was a hard lesson they learned in 1980 when Fred accidentally directed Beverly’s snowmobile over a cliff.

If you ask Tom Lindblom how long he’s been married to his lovely bride Alice, he’s quick to quip “about 400 years.” And if you ask Alice why they have stayed together so long, she points to her “good disposition.” Married for 63 years, both agree the best bet for keeping it together so long is hands-down, “a king-sized bed.”

While a mysterious letter that halted the appointment of her replacement continues to raise eyebrows, Nancy Doty is stuck doing double duty, still serving as Arapahoe County clerk and recorder after being sworn in as District 1 county commissioner. Doty, who was sworn in as commissioner on Jan. 8, has yet to tender her resignation as clerk and recorder, but plans to do so prior to the appointment of a replacement, according to county spokeswoman Andrea Rasizer. Doty continues on Page 7

We, the people, are in this together As President Obama’s words rang out from Capitol Hill into my family room, as the camera panned over the thousands bearing witness to his second inaugural address, I found myself moved. By the significance of the tradition, its symbolism and shout to the world that regardless of who was elected, this transition from one presidential term to another would be a peaceful one. By words that spoke of equality for all. And by faces that seemed at once jubilant and expectant. “We, the people …,” President Obama repeated throughout. “We, the people …” But as I watched and listened, enveloped in the moment’s oneness, a question slipped in: Do we all feel as if we are the people? Those three words have become a mantra of what America represents, taken from the document this country was built on: “We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” It is a lofty ideal that at times has been shoved into the shadows by such abuses as slavery and inequality of rights because of gender, race and religion. That we have amended some of those wrongs is an inspiring tribute to our foundation. But we are, most definitely, a work still in progress. “‘We, the people’ is our vision for America,” says Amy Montague, a social studies teacher for 15 years whose passion for history lights her eyes and fills her voice. “‘We, the people’ is what we are always aspiring to be.” Empowered toward unity. Even when it is difficult to achieve. Stephanie Noll is a social worker for

Mi Casa Resource Center, which serves the underemployed and unemployed in the Denver area. She works daily with women and men struggling to overcome financial, educational and other challenges in their pursuit of stability. “When people don’t have access to be able to meet their basic needs,” she says, “they don’t feel included as the ‘we’ who are taken care of in society.” Something as simple as language can exclude people from the circle, says Alejandra Harguth, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Mexico who works with immigrants in Littleton. “Just because you were born somewhere else doesn’t mean you are different from the person next to you” in terms of human value. Moe Keller, a Democrat who championed mental health, child care and developmentally disabled issues during her years in the Colorado House and Senate, believes that, overall, the country’s “general welfare” isn’t being promoted as the Constitution asks. “We need to invest and believe in ourselves. I don’t think we do that right now,” says Keller, who taught special education for 25 years and remains active in the mental health arena. “Even at the federal level, we don’t,” referring to the legislative fight over Hurricane Sandy disaster relief and other political challenges to civic and social programs. “I believe in economic patriotism,” she says. “We have an obligation and a duty to pay taxes because democracy is

not free. Taxes are not evil. They are what keeps us going as a country.” To Bob Beauprez, a buffalo rancher and former Republican congressman who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2006, President Obama’s “we, the people” means “we, the government.” John F. Kennedy had it right, Beauprez says, when he proclaimed in his inaugural address, “‘Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.’ It’s bigger than us. The cause is bigger than us.” But the elemental essence of “we, the people” as an instrument of cohesion and change gives us the tools — despite differing philosophical views on government — to work toward that dream of unity. The teacher, the social worker, the politician and the community activist see evidence of it every day. Steve Burkholder, a former mayor of Lakewood, talks about the sales tax increase of 2005 that led to the building of a new mall and increased revenue during tough financial times. The city asked its residents, “What type of city do you want?” Burkholder remembers. “We can give you this type of city at 2 percent sales tax or we can give you this type of city at 3 percent sales tax. This is your choice. We had this dialogue about it and we talked about it and we tore down their favorite mall …. The citizens were a part of it. That was ‘we, the people.’ ” He talks about the importance of establishing inclusivity across all areas, from ethnicity to gender to income level, and excitedly mentions an early intervention educational program that will soon begin in the city. “We have this opportunity to make a major difference.” That kind of empowerment of others, he says, is “we, the people.” Keller highlights community service organizations such as Optimist, Rotary and Kiwanis, which regularly provide

scholarships to young people for higher education. One, in particular, recognizes students who have stayed in school despite great adversity. “They want these people to be successful,” Keller says. “This is ‘we, the people.’ ” Beauprez, although saying he doesn’t agree with all its tenets, points to the Tea Party movement. “The people were saying loud and clear, ‘Something’s really screwed up here … and we have to get off our couches and do something about it,” he says. “That kind of citizen action … it’s an extremely healthy ‘we, the people’ kind of statement.” Noll, the social worker, isn’t sure those who are marginalized ever fully feel included in society as a whole. But the success of her program’s participants — representing such a broad diversity — gives her hope. “There is a sense of empowerment in that process,” she acknowledges. “People do regain a sense of belonging.” Amy Montague, the teacher, looks to history for reaffirmation. If it’s read just right, Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation can still move her to tears. The power of the words and the foresight and courage it took to write and deliver them take her back to the nation’s roots and remind her of its strength. The people. “People have to remember where we came from and that we can get through whatever is happening,” she says. “We can, as a people, make it.” Our founding fathers believed we could. I do, too. We just can’t ever forget the “we.” Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

HIALEAH, FL – An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse’s legs, is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula. According to a national drug store survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back to the market under the trade name ARTH ARREST and says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, the ARTH ARREST formula is useful in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, tendonitis, backache and more. ARTH ARREST is available in a convenient roll-on applicator at pharmacies without a prescription or call 1-800-339-3301. Now at:

School gathering all about diversity Creek conference explores ways to nurture differences By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com More than 1,000 high school students gathered at Cherry Creek High School, exploring ways to celebrate difference and foster a safe and understanding academic environment. Now in its 20th year, the Cherry Creek Diversity Conference is the largest conference of its kind in the state, attracting 85 schools from across Colorado. The day-long conference on Feb. 2 included 40 workshops addressing such bold subjects as hate crimes, gay rights in America, use of American Indian mascots, diversity in the military, gender issues and understanding Islam. “People like me, with titles like mine, often come together at events like these and say things that sound like we’ve had similar experiences to yours,” said Cherry Creek School District Superintendent Mary Chesley.

Cherry Creek Diversity Conference founder Janet Sammons was honored with the creation of a scholarship fund in her name. With an initial endowment of $1,000, the fund will help ensure schools across the state are able to attend the conference, now in its 20th year. The conference was held Feb. 2 and attracted more than 1,000 students to Cherry Creek High School from 85 schools across the state. Photo by Deborah Grigsby “We have not. In the area of diversity, you are the teachers and we are your stu-

dents.” Caleb Munro, conference co-director,

announced the creation of the Janet Sammons Fund for Diversity, with an initial endowment of $1,000. Named after Janet Sammons, the Cherry Creek High School history teacher who started the annual gathering in 1993, the fund will assist schools that may not have money to attend the annual conference. Sports entertainer and television personality Eve Torres served as keynote speaker. “I want you to think about your school climate, how you interact with your school peers and how the way you view yourself affects your ability to discover and exercise your passion and therefore your future success,” said Torres, herself a Cherry Creek graduate. “At the very basic level we deserve to feel safe being ourselves in our environment, and if for no other reason we are here today, it’s to reduce the amount of verbal and physical harassment and prejudice that exists in our schools.” The conference has an operating budget of $25,000 and derives the majority of its income from registration fees of participating schools. Additional funding is provided through numerous donations by private foundations, companies and individuals.

Learning about gorillas in a land racked by war Endangered species drew pair to Africa By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Two area residents recently traveled far from the comforts of suburbia to a war-torn landscape to see something very few people have witnessed. Travel agent Valerie Sewell and Dave Lorenz, South Suburban Parks and Recreation executive director, joined a small contingent on a trip to Africa to get a glimpse of migrating mountain gorillas, a critically endangered species. There are only about 800 of the animals in existence — up from only around 250 in the 1980s — and none in captivity. All of them live in national parklands in Africa, surrounded by the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda. Visitors pay $750 to spend an hour with the gorillas, but the proceeds go toward their preservation, so Sewell said it’s worth it. They sat nearly within reach of the groups they saw - one of 26 gorillas, another of 11. Sewell, speaking to Littleton Rotary on Jan. 29, said she nearly canceled the trip upon hearing rebels had attacked a town less than 10 miles from their destination shortly before they were scheduled to leave. The area has been plagued by war and unrest for decades. Of recent notoriety is Jo-

seph Kony in Uganda, who is alleged to have kidnapped up to 30,000 children and forced them to fight in his resistance army. “We saw lots of troops and trucks going to the border,” she said. “But they need the tourism, so they’re good at trying to keep peace on the border.” Of course, the gorillas sometimes get caught in the middle of battles. Normally fairly docile, Sewell said they often learn to emulate the violence they witness. “The gorillas are actually fighting each other,” she said. “I think what needs to happen is peace.” Following the Rwandan genocide in 1996, the area has been somewhat more peaceful. Sewell said this actually has been a problem for the gorillas — as people return, they encroach upon the animals’ habitat. Sometimes they get caught in snares meant to catch food. Sewell showed a photo of a young gorilla that lost an arm that way. Also, farms operate right up to the park borders, providing what the gorillas consider a food source. “The gorillas, they have no borders,” said Sewell. “It’s going to end horribly.” But you wouldn’t know it by watching the creatures, according to Lorenz. The males can get up to 400 pounds, and the adults mostly just relax, eat and sleep. The youngsters, though, are much like human children. “It was like watching my kids play,” Lorenz said. “They’re wrestling and tossing each other around.”

Gala will benefit Inter-Faith Nibbles and Sips fundraiser targets homelessness, hunger By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Nibbles and Sips benefit, set for 6-9:30 p.m. Feb. 23, will raise money to support Inter-Faith Community Services programs that serve clients from Englewood to Bennett. Inter-Faith Community Services has been providing assistance to needy families and individuals since 1964. Services include a food bank and clothing bank as well as special programs like distribution of Thanksgiving food baskets and a program to provide a new outfit and school supplies to the children of needy families. Mike Fordyce, Craig Hospital president, is the honorary chairman of this year’s event that will be held at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center.

Dems roll out gun-control package Opponents see liability measure as ban, in effect By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews. com Democratic state lawmakers on Feb. 5 unveiled a gun-control legislative package, which in part calls for required background checks for all gun buyers and strict liability for owners and sellers of assault weapons. But the ideas aimed at curbing gun violence, which were announced by leaders of the General Assembly’s controlling party during a morning press conference inside the state Capitol, were immediately met with stiff opposition by gun-rights advocates. Democratic leaders — who were joined at the event by people whose lives have been affected by gun violence — announced eight pieces of “gun safety” legislation, which they said is needed in the wake of shooting massacres that continue to make headlines around the country. “As a civilized society, we cannot stand back and wait for another Columbine, another Aurora,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino,

D-Denver. Some of the efforts announced Tuesday came as no surprise — gun-control legislation has been high on the list of priorities for Democrats this session. But perhaps the bill that will cause the greatest amount of ire for Republicans and gun advocates is one aimed at creating strict financial liability for makers, sellers and owners of assault weapons. Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, who will sponsor the Assault Weapon Responsibility Act, said his bill will make assault weapons makers, sellers and owners “liable for 100 percent of the damage” caused by “military style” assault weapons that are used in the commission of crimes. “The sickness of violence is spreading through America like a plague,” Morse said. Morse insisted that the legislation would not constitute a ban on assault weapons, and that it would not impact handguns, bolt action rifles and shotguns. But Morse’s bill was met with ridicule by conservatives.

“That’s a frightening prospect,” said Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray. “I can’t believe how extreme that is.” Brophy quipped that the ban is a “clever,” backdoor way of banning assault weapons because it would create an environment where gun makers would stop manufacturing their products out of concern for being held financially liable, if those weapons get in the wrong hands. Brophy said that holding essentially every party assoFREE ciated with an assault weapEstimages & Inspections on liable is akin to “holding Coors and 7-Eleven liable” when someone robs beer from a convenience store and then gets drunk and causes a drunken-driving accident. Dudley Brown, executive director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, said Morse’s bill is “a functional ban” on

assault weapons. He also said that people who commit gun crimes “should be held accountable the same way” as people who commit crimes with knives or other types of weapons. The legislative package contains other types of gun control efforts. Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora — whose son was shot to death in 2005 before he was scheduled to testify in a murder trial — is sponsoring two bills that would require background checks for all gun buyers, as well as a ban on high-capacity magazines used in certain types of weapons. “They have no place in our communities and they have no place in our streets,” Fields said of ammunition-feeding devices that accept more than 10 rounds of bullets. Other Democratic bills

would address mental health issues; keep domestic violence offenders from possessing guns; require in-person training for those who seek concealed carry permits; and take other actions. Count Brophy and Brown among those who are staunchly opposed to all the efforts put forth by Democrats Tuesday. “None of these ideas that (Democrats) were talking about today will make anybody safer,” Brophy said. Brown said that he intends to pound the proverbial pavement in opposition to Democratic efforts’. “We’re going out in legislators’ districts … and tell gun owners, `This is what (lawmakers) are doing to your rights,’” he said. It’s unknown at this time how many of the bills will end up being supported

by the Democratic Party’s leader, Gov. John Hickenlooper, who did not attend the Feb. 5 event. Eric Brown, Hickenlooper’s spokesman, said in an emailed statement: “The governor supports universal background checks and is open to a discussion about magazine limits and other ideas designed to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.” As for Morse’s bill, the governor’s office intends “to carefully study the liability legislation proposed by Sen. Morse and appreciate his effort to put a creative idea on the table.” Hickenlooper was scheduled to meet with the president of the National Rifle Association Feb. 7, in a meeting that was set up prior to the lawmakers’ press conference. Democrats feel the public is on their side in this debate. Certainly, they have the support of at least a few people who lost loved ones in recent gun violence tragedies. One of them is Jane Dougherty, a Denver resident whose sister, Mary Sherlock, a psychologist at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School, was gunned down during the mass shooting that occurred there in December. “She lost her life running toward a gunman, armed with an assault weapon, an AR-15,” Dougherty said at the press conference. “Assault weapons are weapons of war. They belong on the battlefield. They have no place in a home. “We must do better,” she continued. “We must make changes. We are here to tell our elected leaders: Enough!”

Measure garners no Republican support By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A Democratic state lawmaker is sponsoring a bill that he says will “keep homeowners in their homes,” but it’s one that has not garnered any support from R e p u b l i c a n s Report thus far. House Bill 1017 would allow homeowners who have modified their mortgage interest rates to keep those same rates if their loans are transferred to another bank. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Steve Lebsock, D-Thornton, said during a recent legislative committee hearing that banks sometimes do not properly communicate when a person is in the process of modifying a loan. When the loan transfer to another servicer oc-

Capitol

curs, homeowners end up receiving “a Dear John letter,” notifying them of the transfer. But, “in a minority of cases,” the loan ends up getting transferred without the new servicer even knowing that the loan has been modified. Therefore, the new bank refuses to honor the modified rate, leaving homeowners confused and without recourse, Lebsock said. “Essentially, the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing,” Lebsock said. That happened to Daniel Graham of Aurora, who testified during a recent House Business, Labor, Economic and Workforce Committee hearing about his “nightmare” experience of getting caught between two banks and two separate mortgage rates. Graham said a bank recently foreclosed on his home — one that had been in his family for 34 years — after it refused to honor a modification that he and a previous bank had agreed on. “Trying to find help from people when you’re going through this? It’s not out there,” Graham testified. “People, please. This is something that is

needed. I am going through this nightmare right now.” The bill is on its way to the Senate after it passed the House of Representatives Jan. 29, with Democrats supporting it in a 37-28 party-line vote. Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, said he voted against the bill in part because he “couldn’t get a straight answer as to how big of a problem this was.” Gardner said it is a “feel good” bill that doesn’t really do anything. “I’m not going to vote for it because it sounds like a nice thing to do,” he said. Lebsock said he was “troubled” that the bill didn’t get a single Republican vote in the House, especially after representatives from Colorado banking and realty groups voiced support of the bill during the committee hearing. “It’s very puzzling to me that we didn’t get bipartisan support,” Lebsock said. But Gardner said the freshman representative shouldn’t be too surprised. “He’ll be puzzled about a lot more things that happen here,” Gardner said.

For the third straight year, it posted more than 20 percent growth, with 2012 results reaching 30 percent — stretching the limits of its current space at 471 Kalamath in Denver. “Once we were aware that they were interested, we spent a lot of time just talking to them about the direction the city was going, explaining about all the work we’ve done, showing them the city council goals, talking about the comprehensive plan update and generally just conveying all the excitement and enthusiasm for the future,” Penny said. Assuming all goes as planned, Breckenridge will break ground on a$20 million project this fall near the South Platte River. It is expected to open in the fall of 2014 on 12 acres north of Aspen Grove and south of Hudson Gardens, adjacent to Reynolds Landing — exponentially increasing the river corridor’s cool factor, says Penny. The Feb. 1 announcement came on the heels of one made by Alamo Drafthouse,

Crandall and his army of supporters raised about $700,000 for the memorial. The location is just a dirt construction site now, but plans are to have the project completed in time to dedicate it on May 26. Littleton residents Orville and Norma Kern attended the ceremonies. “We know Rick and his wife and we have followed and contributed to the fundraising

effort,” Orville said. “As a veteran who was a medic in the Korean War era, I believe the memorial is a fitting tribute to those residents of our state who didn’t come home from war.” Vietnam veteran Robert Peposa said he came to support his sister Renie Peterson, an Aurora City Council member, and because he felt the memorial is a wonderful way to honor veterans who died in service

to their country. “This is a way to make sure their sacrifice is never forgotten,” he said. “It’s also great it is here near Buckley so there will be flyovers in their honor all the time.” During the ceremonies there was time to honor George Sakato, who received the Medal of Honor for his service with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team in World War II. “This memorial honors those whose names will be on the walls,” he said. “It also is a special way to honor what all the men and women in military service have done for our country.” More than 200 people at the groundbreaking were invited to grab a shovel and join in. Lanny Harding took a turn at the shovel and tossed some dirt around. “I came today because I served in Iraq and there will the names of a couple guys on that wall that I knew,” the Englewood man said. “I appreciate all that has been done to create this memorial because I feel there needs to be something honor Coloradans who didn’t come home and make sure what they did is never forgotten.” There were about a dozen shovels provided for those who wanted to take part in the groundbreaking, but Rick Rokosz brought the entrenching tool he was issued by the Army when he was in Vietnam. “I wanted to be part of this ceremony today,” the Highlands Ranch man said. “A lot of people have worked long and hard to make this dream a reality. I am proud to be part of today’s ceremony, the first step in creating this very special memorial.”

Brewery taps Littleton as new home Aspen Grove’s new movie theater, which will hold its grand opening March 25. Steve Kurowski, marketing director for the Colorado Brewers Guild, says the brewery’s relocation will expand the beer-tourism movement that is steadily growing in Denver and Boulder. “Colorado’s Front Range craft-beer community continues to attract attention on local, national and international levels,” Kurowski said in Breckenridge’s news release announcing the project. Designed to complement the rural feel of the river corridor, plans include rustic buildings, a hops field, farmhouse restaurant, general store and a sunny beer garden. “We asked Breckenridge to really think about the river as they get further along in their design plans, and be the first development to really acknowledge that they have a great resource to the immediate west of them,” Penny said. The facility will bring 60 to 75 jobs to Littleton, with about 25 of those being new positions, said company spokesman Todd Thibault. It will contribute sales taxes to the city coffers from restaurant sales and the general store, but it’s largely an industrial development that manufactures craft beers and sells them wholesale across the country. In 2012, it produced 52,000 barrels of beer, ranging from its popular Vanilla Porter to its seasonal Christmas Ale. The new facility will allow for production to increase to more than 120,000 barrels. “Our brewery was born and raised in Colorado,” said Todd Usry, brewmaster and director of brewing. “We have our Colo-

Rasizer said the “day-today duties of the office” are now in the hands of Mary Whitley, deputy clerk and recorder. The problem is, finding a replacement may take a while. The Arapahoe Board of Doty County Commissioners voted to delay the appointment and launch an ethics committee investigation after an anonymous letter appeared, questioning the ethics and integrity of Matt Crane, one of three candidates vying for the appointment. Crane said he has nothing to hide and looks forward to bringing the matter to light. The three-page letter, sent Jan. 27, paints a questionable picture of Crane,

pointing to previous troubles while serving as operations manager for the Denver Election Commission in 2006, and what was called a “cozy relationship” with a voter check-in software company. On Jan. 23, the board interviewed three candidates: Crane; Cindy Acree, a former state representative; and Susan Beckman, former Arapahoe County Commissioner. The person selected will fill the remainder of Doty’s term, which expires Jan. 15, 2015. There is no word on when the ethics committee will convene or who might be appointed to lead the investigation. Although Doty still holds both positions, Rasizer confirmed she draws only her salary from the Board of County Commissioners. Doty’s salary as clerk and recorder “will remain in the budget as unspent funds, so there will be a savings in that line item at the end of the year,” Rasizer said.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Let’s pass on another round of drinking bill The “drinking with Dad” bill that was killed in committee last week made for lively conversation around water coolers and dinner tables. We don’t mind that it failed — we are gripped by so many other matters at the Statehouse — but we stop short of calling the bill ridiculous. The failed notion — sponsored by state Sen. Greg Brophy — would have allowed parents to share alcoholic drinks with their 18-to-20-year-old children at restaurants or bars, ideally preparing them for the responsibilities of becoming 21. While it was pointed out several other states allow the practice, the committee gave little ground and defeated the measure 4-1. We agree with an oft-mentioned counterpoint that restaurant servers would face the onus of verifying parents and children before serving the 18-to-20-year-olds. The

OUR VIEW extra duty could put the servers in a tough spot as noted by state Sen. Evie Hudak, DWestminster. Maybe it would be a big pain or maybe not, but for now we agree with keeping a clean line of law in the public arena concerning the drinking age of 21. And we side with those who say it’s enough that parents have the legal opportunity to serve and teach their children about alcohol at home. Home is an excellent place to cover alcohol and responsible drinking. Further, it’s a fine place to learn how to prepare for the public arena with good skills in assigning designated drivers,

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

What are your plans for Valentine’s Day? We visited two sweet shops to ask folks what they had planned for their sweeties on Valentine’s Day. In Littleton, Donut Hut Café on Low-

ell Boulevard and My Favorite Muffin on Platte Canyon Road are both great places to find a special goodie for that special someone.

Bright idea: Start hoarding 60s It is time to start hoarding 60-watt light bulbs just like Twinkies. After Jan. 1, 2014, it will be illegal to sell them. But presumably you will still be able to buy an assault rifle. Say what? Incandescent light bulbs are being phased out. We’ve already said goodbye to 100-watt and 75-watt bulbs. Did you know that? It’s illegal to manufacture or import them, but they can still be sold until they are all gone. And don’t worry, the Light Bulb Constables are not going to break down your door. I don’t think the disappearance of incandescent bulbs will affect people the way the disappearance of Twinkies did. It’s hard to get too sentimental about light bulbs. I didn’t suffer for very long when they stopped making cassettes either. The newer helical, integrated, compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) is niftier looking, though it does have more surfaces for dust. I’ve never been very good at dusting my light bulbs. Now I will be even worse at it. I need someone to shed some light on this: “CFLs radiate a spectral power distribution that is different from that of incandescent lamps. Improved phosphor formulations have improved the perceived colour of the light emitted by CFLs, such that some sources rate the best ‘soft white’ CFLs as subjectively similar in colour to standard incandescent lamps.” Right. I guess we can’t go back again. But we can go back to vinyl. You can still buy record players and you can still buy vinyl records. Some people swear by the quality of vinyl over CDs. I gave all of mine to my friend Greg. He treats them with a lot of respect. Records used to come in big paper sleeves. Paper is a wood-based product, and paper can be abrasive. Vinyl collectors often swap out the paper sleeves for something more archival. Are we going to have light bulb pirates? Music is pretty easy to pirate, but it might be quite a chore to pirate 60-watt light bulbs. Where are you going to do it? I think once they’re all gone, they’re all gone.

Are there songs about light bulbs? Or poems? Yes. I found both. But none of them is very memorable. Have you ever turned on a light and had it light for an instant and then burn out? Right then it’s kind of poetic. A final flare. We have the same thing prolonged in another way every autumn, when a green leaf turns yellow and orange, and then falls brown. I am having a hard time getting too nostalgic about this. Most of my incandescent bulbs aren’t bare, so I don’t see them, just their benefits. I didn’t get very nostalgic about Twinkies either. They are nasty things to begin with. Vulgar little sponges filled with who-knows-what? Just don’t touch my Red Vines. After Jan. 1, 2014, those born will some day have to be told about light bulbs just like my parents had to tell me about tin toys and candlestick telephones. Technology moves things in and moves things out very fast these days. The humble light bulb had a good, long lifetime. Edison filed for the patent in 1879, and it was granted on Jan. 27, 1880. I invented something last summer and pitched it to an outfit that takes an idea and develops it on behalf of the inventor. For an arm and a leg. I had neither. They promised not to manufacture it. But I have a hunch I will see my bright idea at Home Depot some day. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@ comcast.net

as well as being aware one drink — depending on factors such as beverage and weight of the person — can put someone on the wrong side of the mark in a Breathalyzer test. As for the other side of the argument, we certainly accept the valid view of state Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch. As the only vote for the bill, he said when his son turns 18, he will be able to fight in Afghanistan but will not be able to have a drink with his parents at a restaurant. That is a tough shot. Harvey’s comment echoed a debate that has decidedly diminished since the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984. This strong-arm bill passed by the Congress subjects states with a minimum age for drinking that is below 21 to a 10 percent decrease in annual federal highway funds. It was a brilliant way for proponents to

keep the age at 21 because most states, like Colorado, so need transportation dollars for highways and aging bridges. But it’s simply not right. The drinking age, at its core an issue of individual liberty, should not be held hostage to the pocketbook issue of transportation dollars. Interestingly, incongruent laws that put voting and military service at 18 and drinking alcohol at 21 crudely reflect the true nature of coming of age where attaining maturity doesn’t happen on a certain birthday or day for each individual. But just maybe someday these laws will better align to clearly and legally mark adulthood while surrounding responsibilities and efforts — such as reducing drunk driving — are just as vigilant as ever in striving to balance our safety with our liberties.

Navigating the moguls of life Have you ever watched a really accomplished skier as he or she skied the moguls? They make it look easy as they seem to gracefully maneuver the bumps, have no wasted motions, all muscle groups are working in harmony, and they just look technically perfect and simply incredible. Then, have you ever observed an intermediate skier tackling that same terrain? They move slower, seem to try and go around each mogul, stop frequently, and in some cases find themselves sliding down the mountain, out of their gear after trying a little harder or getting a little more aggressive. And then they get up, usually with a little assistance, and continue to work their way down the mountain. In either case, whether we are extremely proficient or working on getting there, when we have spent some time in the bumps, and move on to find one of those intermediate groomed blue cruisers, we feel better about ourselves and our ability, we may even feel awesome as our confidence soars. I am not sure about you, but for me I have experienced this same feeling in other areas of my life as well. No one is an expert at anything before they learn a skill, develop a talent, and take the time to practice. It is in the practice where we make the most strides and advancements of our skills and talents. As a young salesman responsible for developing a territory and cold calling I had to learn the communication skills necessary to open doors and opportunities. It was only after many cold calls and knocking on doors that I developed the skills and confidence to become truly effective. But opening doors was only the first part, I then had to learn how to speak to senior level executives and present in big intimidating boardrooms.

The first few times I can tell you felt like I was a beginner who found himself on a double black diamond ski run loaded with moguls. I was coming unglued and definitely wasting motions, wasting time, and losing more than I was winning. Each prospect was different and when I found myself having to present to smaller groups or someone in a less intimidating role, I found myself gaining confidence. The more I failed in those larger meetings, the more I learned. The more I practiced with smaller customers the better I became at selling to larger clients and in complex selling situations. There is an old saying that goes something like, “The fruit we enjoy at the mountain top was grown in the valley.” And it is so true in all areas of our lives. So whether it is getting into the moguls or bumps on the mountain or just stretching yourself a little more, remember that our growth does happen in the valley. I would love to hear all about your times in the valley and on the mountaintop. Let’s make it a better than good week.

These bills deserve a fair shot l

The Colorado General Legislature is once again up and running. An , like apt time to remember Mark Twain’s rs trenchant observation: “No man’s life, liberty or property is safe when the ng legislature is in session.” berty, A truism always, but never more so et- than now when one party, the Democrats, has a monopoly on power in the put House, Senate and governor’s office. rink- However, with the session no more e than a few weeks old, there has not g been enough time to get much more irth-than a hint of the mischief to come. This being the case, my article this month focuses on the five bills that I mark am trying to get across the finish line to the governor’s desk before the session comes to an end in mid-May. ever ur Mandatory E-Verify (HB 1098) This bill requires that every employer in the state use the federal E-Verify system to confirm that every new hire is legally eligible to work in the United States. Free, simple to use, and highly reliable, this bill would make more jobs available to Coloradans who are struggling to make ends meet in a “recovery” where the unemployment rate is nearly 8 percent. My bill improves on an existing state employment verification

insurance rather than post a bond. Insurance is often less expensive. It has gone through its first committee unanimously.

Investment of State Moneys by Treasurer (HB 1205) program that was put in place by Democrat legislators in 2006 but is not reliable because it depends on easily forged paper documentation. Amnesty supporters, on the right and the left, will spike this bill. But the issue needs to be raised.

Utility Rate Relief (Not yet assigned a number)

Minnesota-based Xcel Energy increasingly looks upon Colorado as a state where consumers can be milked to benefit its shareholders. This bill would beef up the state’s Office of Consumer Counsel to give it more legal firepower in rate cases heard before the Public Utilities Commission. Xcel hates this one. As does the PUC. Stay tuned.

Public Trustee Crime Insurance (HB 1072) Permits, but does not mandate, public trustees to purchase crime

Gives the Treasurer Walker Stapleton greater flexibility in investing state money. Recommended by the State Auditor and Land Board.

Workers’ Compensation Deductible (HB 1025)

Permits employers to elect higher work comp deductibles, which saves them premium dollars and gives them a stronger incentive to provide their workers a safe work place. May face some opposition from labor, but I think this bill has a betterthan-even chance. I have met with the various stakeholders repeatedly. Partisan politics are often, but by no means always, the order of the day at the Capitol. Where they aren’t, my bills, being championed as they are by a member of the minority, have a good chance at a fair hearing. State Rep. Spencer Swalm serves House District 37, which includes Centennial.

Military service as a path to citizenship Recently, I introduced the H.R. 435, Military Enlistment Opportunity Act. This legislation seeks to expand military enlistment opportunities and create a system that mutually benefits the armed services and individuals with temporary immigration status. Under my bill, individuals who have resided legally in the United States continuously for at least two years as well as the Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals would be permitted to sign up for military service alongside American citizens and lawful permanent residents. The DACA program was recently created by the Department of Homeland Security to give employment authorization to certain young people who came to the United States illegally as children. This legislation provides a common-sense solution to help solve two nationally important issues. First, the bill provides a new group of willing, capable and skilled applicants to serve in the military. Second, it creates an opportunity for individuals with conditional immigration status to naturalize through military service, giving them permanent status subject to the same rights and obligations as natural-born citizens. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, one of my goals for this legislation is to help the military ensure our national security goals are met by enhancing the available pool of qualified individuals. The military currently requires that recruits be American citizens or lawful permanent residents. However, we have a regrettable situation today where a majority of native-born Americans can’t meet the standards for military service because of some

individuals should have the chance HH ColoNwsFam.Feed#3.indd 1 7/22/12 to honorably serve their country and become naturalized citizens. Current law states that any individual who legally enlists and serves in the military for one year is naturalized. During wartime the naturalization is immediate. My bill would extend this benefit to DACA individuals. All enlistees, upon joining the military, incur an eight-year service obligation. Naturalization only becomes final and irrevocable after five years of honorable service. Therefore, it is important to highlight that the where quality and grant of immediate naturalization is subject to rescission if the indireputation are rock solid vidual does not complete the service requirements or is discharged under less-than-honorable circumstances. Although there will be a larger debate this year about immigration and the necessary changes that must occur to ensure that our legal immigration system is effective, the Military Enlistment Opportunity Act is smart legislation that takes a small but positive step forward by allowing certain individuals to serve our S PE C I A L country in the military and earn U.S. citizenship.

disqualification: they are overweight, have a criminal record, a history of drug or alcohol abuse, don’t have a high school diploma, or they can’t get a passing score on the entrance exam. A 2009 study conducted by a group of retired military leaders entitled “Ready, Willing and Unable to Serve” concluded that 75 percent of young adults between the ages of 17 and 24 do not qualify for military service. Additionally, there is a need to expand the pool of those eligible to serve because of the increasingly advanced technical requirements of the U.S. military. Rapidly growing areas like cyber warfare and ongoing analysts needs require the skills that foreign students studying in the United States can bring to the military. These visa holders bring abilities like critical language skills and advanced technical degrees that will increase the proficiency of our military. My legislation will also provide a path for young people in the newly created DACA program to be naturalized through military service. It makes sense that these individuals, who have the desire and ability to serve in the U.S. military, should be given the opportunity to do so. There have been over 154,000 young people who have been accepted under the DACA program, and these patriotic

Walk among the great Ice Age giants ‘Mammoths and Mastodons’ to be on display in Denver By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado’s exciting “Snowmastodon Project,” which surfaced in 2010, will be represented by a selection of fossils, a video about the 2010 discovery and information about the science developing from the site at Snowmass. Museum volunteers will clean and prepare fossils from various Colorado dig sites. The “Mammoths and Mastodons: Titans of the Ice Age” exhibit runs Feb. 15 through May 27 at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The exhibit, originating at the Field Museum, will include lifesized models of Ice Age animals, as well as

fossil tusks and skulls. Visitors will learn to distinguish between mammoths — weighing up to eight tons, with tusks up to 16 feet long — and mastodons, their shorter, stockier cousins. A model of Lyuba, a 42,000-year-old baby mammoth discovered in 2007 by a reindeer herder and his sons, will help visitors understand the science behind Lyuba and how it aids in our understanding of modern-day elephant relatives, which are now struggling for survival. Lyuba’s eyelashes, ears and internal organs were found. Man entered the picture and was another predator of these beasts, as he is today. Spear points, cave painting and other prehistoric art illustrate the interaction between humans and mammoths and mastodons. Interactive exhibits include: balanc-

In October 2010, a bulldozer operator working near Snowmass uncovered bones of a young female mammoth. During the next 10 months, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science conducted the largest excavation in its 112-year history, finding more than 6,000 bones of 41 kinds of animals. Included: mammoths, mastodons, ground sloths, tiny rodents, camels, deer, horses, giant bison and even tiger salamanders. The high-alpine ecosystem had protected the specimens found in this most significant scientific discovery. A 40-member team from the museum, the U.S. Geological Survey and academic institutions from North America and Europe is studying samples of bones, plants, insects , sediment and biomolecules. The study will continue until collective results are ready for publication. Lead scientists Kirk Johnson and Ian Miller have published “Digging Snowmastodon,” which is available today. A “Nova” television special, “Ice Age Death Trap” was shown on PBS. Related programs and lectures, found on the museum’s website, include an IMAX film: “Titans of the Ice Age 3 D IMAX” ongoing at $10, $8.

For the second year in a row, the Four Seasons Hotel Denver has earned recognition as the No. 1 ranked hotel in the 2013 listing of Best Hotels in Denver by U.S. News & World Report. The Four Seasons Hotel Denver also was named No. 6 on U.S. News’ list of Best Hotels in Colorado for the second year in a row. The 2013 Best Hotels ranking recognizes hotels with a record of high customer satisfaction and an exceptional reputation among published travel experts. “We’re thrilled to receive the top ranking in the City of Denver for Best Hotel two years in a row,” said Thierry Kennel, regional vice president of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and general manager of Four Seasons Hotel Denver. “All credit is given to our incredible team. Without their dedicated service and passion, we would not be No. 1.” Rounding out the Top 5 are The RitzCarlton Denver, JW Marriott Denver, Cherry Creek, The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, and The Oxford Hotel. There’s more. The Best Hotels in Colorado are also ranked on the U.S. News’ list with Aspen’s The Little Nell snagging the No. 1 spot.

Mayor Hancock busts a move

Last week, Mayor Michael B. Hancock fulfilled the final element of a friendly wager made with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake before the Divisional Playoff game between the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens on Jan. 13 (and we all know how that ended up ... sniffle). Under the terms of the wager, Mayor Hancock sent a box of dry aged “cowboy cut” ribeye steaks from Lombardi Brothers Meats to Rawlings-Blake. The mayor had additionally agreed to perform the famous Ray Lewis pregame dance but was sidelined by an injury. Until now. To view the video of that performance, go to www.youtube.com/ watch?v=4KVczvxpUvU.

Eatin’ of the green results

Steven Ballas, Jr., owner of Steve’s Snappin Dogs and host of the recent green chili contest, declared the event a “great success”. “Between my 10 percent of the daily sales and the cash donations that I hawked with the $1 Steve’s Snappin Ale, $1 tortillas to eat with the green chili and the personal donations, I am proud to tell you all that the first Chow Down for Charity of 2013 raised $610 for Project Angel Heart,” Ballas said. “What a great day for us all!” The fire-breathing event was judged live on the air during the weekly Gabby Gourmet radio show (1 to 3 p.m. Saturdays) on KHOW 630-AM. Judges were Jon Emanuel, executive chef of Project Angel Heart; Westword foodie Lori Midson; Denver’s 7 meteorologist Lisa Hildago; Mile High Sports Radio personality Mark McIntosh; Joan Brewster of the American Culinary Foundation; Artie Guerrero, president and national director of paralyzed veterans of America, Mountain States Chapter; and moi.

It seems every day can be a little unusual in this business.

Factors that might hurt a home’s value N owadays, homeowners looking to sell their homes know it’s not as easy to do so as it might have been a few years ago. A struggling economy has made it difficult for many homeowners to sell their homes for a price they’re comfortable with. But the sagging economy is not the only thing can make it difficult to sell a home. In fact, a host of other things, some obvious but some not so obvious, can hurt a home’s value as well. Location: A home’s location is arguably its best or worst selling point. A home in a great location won’t be as difficult to sell as a home in a bad neighborhood. But location goes beyond a neighborhood’s reputation, especially in recent years. Homeowners who live in a neighborhood or development with many foreclosures might find those foreclosed properties are hurting their own home’s value. Lots of foreclosures could negatively affect

a neighborhood’s reputation, which might make a home within that neighborhood less attractive to prospective buyers. Appearance: A home’s appearance is another obvious variable that might affect its resale value. Homeowners might want their home to reflect their own individuality, but that’s not going to help when the time comes to sell the home. If the exterior paint is out of the ordinary, then it might be wise to choose a more traditional or conservative color before erecting the “For Sale” sign out front. The same goes for a home’s interior. If the interior design is especially unique, a more traditional interior decor might help the home sell faster. Size and style: Another thing to consider when selling a home is its size and style. A home that stands out on the block might be an attention-grabber, but that’s not always attractive to prospective buyers. For instance, a colonial sitting in the middle

of a street filled with contemporary homes will stand out, but likely for all the wrong reasons. It will likely appear dated and out of place, which is something buyers might not want. In addition, if the home is considerably larger or smaller than the surrounding homes, then this could hurt its value. Non-conformity: In many ways, conformity is not considered an admirable trait. But when selling a home, conformity could make the difference between a home selling quickly or remaining on the market for months if not years. When shopping for a home, buyers often shop in certain neighborhoods and towns and might see many different homes within a given ZIP code. Homeowners with homes that don’t conform to others in the area might find it difficult to sell their homes. For instance, homeowners trying to sell a two bedroom home in a neighborhood filled with three bedroom homes might

Douglas County School Board Vice President Dan Gerken resigned the week of Jan. 7, and already has stepped down from his seat. He cited growing family and work obligations. Board President John Carson said the group will begin the process of finding his replacement during the Jan. 15 board meeting. Gerken was elected to the board in 2009, and his term was set to expire in November. He did not return calls for comment, Gerken but Carson said there is no mystery surrounding his resignation from the education reform-focused board. â€œWe depend on people being willing to take a lot of time out of their lives and work and families to do this,â€? he said, noting board members invest at least 20 hours a month to the unpaid post. â€œDan has served selflessly in that capacity for over three years now. I greatly appreciate what heâ€™s done for our school district.â€? Carson said Gerken first approached him about resigning shortly after the new year. â€œI tried to talk him out of (resigning), but he made his decision,â€? he said. Though the board has often been criticized for its fast-paced reform efforts, Carson said he doesnâ€™t believe that was a factor in Gerkenâ€™s resignation. â€œIf you run for office, you have to be prepared for that,â€? he said. â€œSpeaking for myself, the reason I got involved in public education was to make some changes in public education that I think have been needed for a long time. I know Dan felt that way as well.â€? In seven years on the board, Carson said this is the fourth vacancy filled by appointment. â€œItâ€™s not an infrequent occurrence,â€? he said. The board has 60 days to fill the empty seat. Any candidate must live in Gerkenâ€™s district â€” District D â€” which extends from Castle Pines to the southeast corner of the county. Potential school board candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a 12-month resident and registered voter of the district, and have no direct or indirect interest in district contracts. All current school board members are registered Republicans, but the office is officially nonpartisan. â€œWeâ€™re just looking for people that are interested in improving public education, continuing to make our school district the best, and keep making it stronger,â€? Carson said. Gerken, a father of two, lives in Castle Pines with his wife, Gina. He is chairman and co-founder of Gerken Taxman Interests, a commercial real estate investment and development company.

Feeling safe in Centennial

For the eighth year in a row, Centennial was ranked as the safest city in Colorado with a population of more than 75,000, according to CQ Press’ annual publication: City Crime Rankings for 2012 to 2013: Crime in

Lone Tree

Metropolitan America. Centennial ranks 41st out of 432 cities. “This eight-year accomplishment as the safest city in Colorado is truly remarkable,” said Mayor Cathy Noon. “It reflects the dedication of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office to keep the city safe year after year.” Other Colorado cities and their rankings include Arvada (59), Longmont (73), Fort Collins (116), Boulder (120), Westminster (147), Greeley (173), Thornton (175), Aurora (235), Lakewood (259), Colorado Springs (278), Denver (328) and Pueblo (354). The crime rate rankings of the cities and metropolitan areas are calculated using six crime categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft. The rankings include all cities of at least 75,000 residents that reported crime data to the FBI in these categories. Penny Parker’s “Mile High Life” column gives insights into the best events, restaurants, businesses, parties and people throughout the metro area. Parker also writes for BlacktieColorado.com.

In 1952, a group of area photographers, who wanted to talk shop with kindred souls, met and formed the Englewood Camera Club. Meeting formats and locations have changed over the years and membership has broadened across the metro area, but the club still meets monthly, according to 2013 president Steve Johnson. Members vary from seasoned photographers, willing to share expertise, to members new to the hobby. Each meeting, held at 6:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month (Feb. 12 is next), features a speaker and an in-house photo contest in three categories, with a different subject each meeting. The group meets at the Greenwood Village City Hall, 6060 S. Quebec. Prospective

members are welcome. Programs include workshops and presentations by professional photographers. On Feb. 12, Terry Mieger, president of the Aurora Society of Photographers, will talk about Topaz, “a popular and affordable set of editing plug-ins,” according to Johnson. Mieger is a Denver native and retired educator who began photographing nature in the 1950s. He teaches PhotoShop, Adobe Lightroom 4, Aperture 3 and architectural subjects and is a teacher with the Colorado Council of Camera Clubs. His own work has evolved from Nature and Wildlife to fine art, “focusing on perception of reality and the abstract,” he said. He “finds the digital revolution inspiring, opening up a whole new dimension of artistic use of photography.” For information: EnglewoodCameraClub.net.

ActiveRx Helps the Elderly Gain Confidence By Manny Gonzales mgonzales@bestchamber.com When Julee McElhaney began having dizzy spells and falling, her family took notice. At 86 years old, Julee’s lack of balance was having a creeping, scary effect on her ability to get around and her family looked for remedies to the situation. They took her to the new ActiveRx in Englewood where physical therapists worked with McElhaney on helping her learn to walk better and helped her gain strength where her body had let muscles decondition. “I’m absolutely back to where I should be at my age,” McElhaney said recently as she and 120 business leaders from the South Metro Denver Chamber celebrated a Business After Hours event at ActiveRx. “I can walk around by myself and not worry so much anymore.” ActiveRx, located at 300 E. Hampden Ave., Suite 100, in Englewood is helping elder adults hold onto their youth by providing physical therapy combined with strength training. The company specializes in working with elder adults, 65 years and older, who are feeling and getting around slower than their age should suggest. “Our philosophy is you can gain strength at any age,” owner Kiva Patton said. “We really look to change our clients’ lives. Some clients who have had fall risks and are afraid to leave their house,” he said. “We love to help get them back on track so that they’re able to leave their house and be able to walk their dogs.” Often, the decline of an elder adult’s health can be so gradual that it’s hard to recognize something is wrong or that the potential for hazard exists, Patton said.

The Arts at Plymouth, First Plymouth Congregational Church, 3501 S. Colorado Blvd., Englewood, features organ concerts by Herman organist Hans U. Heilscher at 7 p.m. Feb. 9; by Dr. Lyn Loewi at 7 p.m. Feb. 19; by Gwen Blumenschein and Frank Perko III at 7 p.m. Feb. 26. Soup suppers will be served at 6 on Feb. 9 and 16. Concerts are free. 303-762-0616.

Chamber President & CEO John Brackney shares a light moment with ActiveRx owners Dana & Kiva Patton during the Business After Hours event.

“We offer free screenings and free fall prevention, so for anyone who has an elder adult in their family who they’re worried about bring them in and we’ll give a free assessment of where they stand,” Patton said. Joan Tucker, one of the physical therapists who treated Julee, said that even at the age of 98 a person should be able to stand up seven times in 30 seconds without having to use his or her hands. When Julee came to them, she had already suffered a fractured arm from a fall and would get winded on short walks. “The second she’d turn her head one way or the other, she’d lose her balance and fall down” Tucker said. “Often times, people don’t identify there’s a problem till there’s been a major fall or a stroke or a hip fracture.” McElhaney said she was grateful that her family recognized she needed help and acted fast. “I love coming here to keep my body doing what I want it to do - and its always fun!” Congressman Mike Coffman was one

GAME OF THE WEEK SWIMMING

Stoveall lifts Bruins to season sweep of Arapahoe Cherry Creek senior puts up 41 in two games against Warriors By Craig Harper

sports@ourcoloradonews.com Something about Arapahoe this season brought out the best in Cherry Creek and Sam Stoveall. “It’s always a tough one, but it’s one of my favorite games to play,’’ the Creek senior said Friday night after the Bruins completed a season sweep of the Warriors with a 46-43 road victory. “We love playing Arapahoe because they play the same style as us.’’ Until this season, it was tough love for Creek. The Warriors - 25-game winners with trips to Class 5A’s Final Four each of the last two seasons - took six straight from the Bruins the previous three years. “We haven’t beaten Arapahoe twice since they got in the league (in the 2008-09 season), so that’s a real thing,’’ said Creek coach Mike Brookhart. “And more importantly, it’s a league win.’’ It also vaulted Creek (10-7, 5-3) past Arapahoe (12-5, 4-4) into fourth place and a game behind tri-leaders Eaglecrest, Cherokee Trail and Grandview one game into the second half of the Centennial schedule. The seventhranked Warriors, who had won three straight before losing to Cherokee Trail and the Bruins this week, will likely fall out of the top 10. “It’s great for our confidence, especially getting them twice because they’re a good team

and they’re going to win more games,’’ Stoveall said. The rematch was every bit as tight as Creek’s double-overtime victory on Jan. 9, where Stoveall scored 21 points and hit a game-winning 3-point basket with 15 seconds left. This time, Stoveall scored 20 points - his seventh game in the 20s this season - and was part of a Creek defense that denied Arapahoe a potential game-tying 3-pointer. Arapahoe rallied from four points down with 3:20 left despite losing center and second-leading scorer Matt Glasscock (6 points) on fouls at the 4:58 mark. Evan Walsh (5 points) and Mitch Albyn (team-high 14) each got the Warriors within a point before Bruins center Graham Pingree (6 points before fouling out late) scored inside to make it 46-43. Arapahoe missed two 3-pointers, but got a reprieve when Creek’s Griffin Parr missed the front end of a one-and-one with 31.9 seconds left and Pingree was called for an offensive foul with 26.6 seconds left after rebounding the missed free throw. But the Bruins’ defense hounded Walsh and Brendan Till - Arapahoe’s two best 3-point shooters - and Walsh’s attempt with Will Bower’s hand in his face missed the mark. “We talked about that,’’ Brookhart said. “We knew who was going to shoot.’’ Arapahoe often lives or dies by the 3-pointer, and Friday it was the latter. The Warriors shot 2-of-15 (.133) from beyond the arc but were 16-32 on 2’s. “Our halfcourt defense is our strong suit,’’ Stoveall said. “We really take pride in it, and it

works. That’s why we were able to pull it out there at the end.’’ “We didn’t shoot well tonight against a very good team that played good defense,’’ said Arapahoe coach Dan Snyder. “We played really hard and I thought their team played really hard. We just didn’t execute enough, and it was a lot of little things. There were some critical plays that we didn’t make.’’ Arapahoe built the game’s biggest lead, 1813, early in the second quarter, but Creek rallied behind Stoveall to tie it 20-20 before the Warriors took a 24-22 halftime lead. Creek took the lead for good in the third quarter, with Stoveall scoring seven of his team’s 13 points and the Bruins crashing the offensive boards for seven second-chance points in a reversal of the first half when Arapahoe had eight second-chance points. “We got killed (on the boards) in the first half,’’ Stoveall said. “To me, (second-half rebounding) was the main reason we were able to take the lead, because we took away their second possessions.’’ Creek also worked its way to the foul line more than Arapahoe, going 11-of-15 to the Warriors’ 5-8, much to the chagrin of Snyder. “I’m really proud of the kids,’’ Brookhart said. “I thought we persevered. I though we really handled things down the stretch: we made foul shots, we got the ball to the right kids at the right time. Kids like Quentin Welu (7 points) and Caesar Jones stepped up coming off the bench. And Griffin Parr (7 points) was really, really good. And, obviously, Sam Stoveall.’’

Sports roundup: Crory’s hat trick powers Eagles By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Ponderosa’s Williams brothers are primed for tonight’s Continental League championship dual wrestling match against Chaparral. Heritage won, Mountain Vista notched two victories and Valor Christian split two games in last week’s Peak Conference hockey games. Connor Crory had a hat trick in Heritage’s 6-2 win over Palmer. Five different players scored in Mountain Vista’s 5-1 triumph over Bishop Machebeuf and Tanner Gillis scored a power play goal at the 4:52 mark over of overtime in the Golden Eagles’ 3-2 win over Lewis Palmer.

Mountain Vista outshot Lewis Palmer 35-12 in the chippy contest that saw a total of 64 minutes in penalties called, 50 against Lewis Palmer and 14 against the Golden Eagles. Matt Joseph had Valor’s lone goal in a 7-1 loss to Fountain Valley. Dylan Wheeler and Caleb Hance each had two goals in a 9-2 win over Rampart. Conference leading Heritage improved its Peak record to 10-1-0 and the Eagles are 14-2-0 overall. Mountain Vista stands at 9-2-0 and 13-3-0 while Valor is 7-3-1 and 11-4-1.

Girls hoops: Grizzlies continue to battle rash of injuries By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com ThunderRidge girls coach Bill Bradley can’t win for losing. After compiling a 4-7 non-league record, the injury-plagued Grizzlies reeled off four straight victories in the Continental League before No. 2 Highlands Ranch clobbered ThunderRidge, 74-36, in a league game last Saturday night in the Falcons’ gym. Senior Taylor Williams, whose has signed to play at Long Beach State, is getting her timing and confidence back after missing 13 games with a knee injury. Senior center Megan Yoney broke her hand prior to the Christmas break and sophomore guard Jessica Zweifel is sidelined with a separated shoulder. “Every time we turn around we get somebody hurt,” said Bradley. “We get Taylor back but we haven’t had Megan since Christmas with a broken hand and then Jess who had been starting but we haven’t had her the last two games because of a separated shoulder. She’ll be out five or six weeks. “We’re having trouble getting consistency with all our injuries.” Still, ThunderRidge (8-8) is only a game behind the Continental League leaders. Top-ranked Regis Jesuit (16-1), No. 2 Highlands Ranch (14-3) and No. 4 Rock Canyon (15-2) were tied with 5-0 league marks going into this week’s action. The following is a capsule glance at last week’s action. LITTLETON - The Lions lost by 35 points to ThunderRidge and by 22 to Rock Canyon. Four players tied for scoring honors with four points against the Grizzlies while Stacey Zuppa scored 10 points to lead Littleton (7-10) against Rock Canyon. HERITAGE - The Eagles (2-15) saw their losing skid reach 11 games with losses to Chaparral and Castle View. Heritage, Littleton and Ponderosa were all 0-5 going into Tuesday night’s action. VALOR CHRISTIAN - The Eagles (9-11) build on a 16-point halftime lead in a 65-35 win over Wheat Ridge. Kendall Bradbury scored 19 points and Caroline Bryan 13 in the victory.

remained No. 2 in the Class 5A boys basketball poll released Monday while ThunderRidge climbed to No.3. Valor Christian slipped to No. 5 in the Class 4A boys poll and Lutheran was third in the Class 2A rankings. Four Continental League teams are in the Top 10 of the Class 5A poll. Regis Jesuit is top ranked with Highlands Ranch No. 2. The teams meet Wednesday night at Regis. Rock Canyon moved up to No. 4 while Chaparral is No. 8. Arapahoe is sixth in the poll. Lutheran is still No. 2 in the Class AA girls poll but is closing the gap in the voting on topranked Akron. Both teams are unbeaten.

Warriors still in hunt for league crown Arapahoe pounds Cherokee Trail but falls to Grandview, Creek By Craig Harper

sports@ourcoloradonews.com Sometimes a loss can be the proverbial blessing in disguise. Alex Buechler hopes and thinks that may be the case for the Arapahoe girls basketball team, which saw its perfect season come to a halt Jan. 25 at home against Grandview. The Warriors rebounded last Wednesday night with a convincing 53-16 homecourt victory over Cherokee Trail. Arapahoe couldn’t keep the momentum going, however, and fell at Cherry Creek 46-44 Friday night. The Warriors now find themselves at 6-2 (15-2 overall) and tied with the Bruins at the halfway point of the Centennial League race. “It definitely motivated us to work even harder,’’ Buechler said of the 65-48 setback to the Wolves. “I think the loss was good for us, going in 14-0. We definitely learned a lot from that loss. I think it was one of the best games they’ve ever played, and we really didn’t play up to their level.’’ Arapahoe’s depth and constant defensive pressure were no match for Cherokee Trail (8-8, 3-4) and easily offset a two-point second quarter that coach Jerry Knafelc

attributed to “a little bit of a hangover’’ from the Grandview game. The Warriors shot 1-of-12, committed six turnovers and squandered almost half of a 14-2 lead after the first quarter (16-9 at the break). “It was a pretty short discussion at halftime: have them go out and shoot baskets,’’ Knafelc said. “We got good-looking shots; we just missed them. They relaxed a little as soon as we knocked the lid off.’’ Buechler got it going, draining a 3-pointer on the first possession of the second half. Arapahoe scored 22 unanswered points before the Cougars, who missed their first 11 shots of the period to go with nine turnovers, finally broke through with a rebound follow with 14.5 seconds left in the third quarter. Buechler, who was scoreless in the first half, finished with a team-high points. Karlyn Johnson had six of her eight points in the third quarter. Stacie Lukasiewicz also had eight points and Kera Riley added seven. Johnson got into early foul trouble for the second straight game - she played just five minutes against Grandview - a disturbing and uncharacteristic trend for the 5-11 senior. “She’s never been that kind of player, but she’ll fix that,’’ Knafelc said. “She was a big difference against Grandview. It hurt us defensively because of the matchups, and offensively, too. As you saw, she came in and was ind of a catalyst tonight.’’

Despite its cold second quarter, Arapahoe shot 40 percent from the floor, an improvement from the 35 percent against Grandview in its second-lowest scoring game of the season (37-35 win over Cherry Creek where missed free throws down the stretch made it close). But defense is what makes Arapahoe go, and a young Cherokee Trail squad (one senior saw court time Wednesday) seemed overwhelmed. The Cougars made one field goal in each quarter. They shot 13.8 percent from the floor and committed 38 turnovers. Junior point guard Hannah Sparks, the leading scorer at 12.7, went scoreless until the final minute, and senior Nikki Duresky (9.5 average) had four points. Cherokee Trail managed to work the ball inside when not turning it over, but couldn’t get shots to fall against Arapahoe’s trio of 6-3 Mikaela Moore, 6-3 Savanah Nedlson and 6-2 Molly Reidel (10 rebounds). “You play a game like that, the score doesn’t matter. You’ve just got to go out and play your defense as hard as you can and pretend like it’s a close game,’’ Buechler said. “That’s just going to make you better.’’ Knafelc’s assessment of Arapahoe at the midpoint of the Centennial League season? “Maybe a little better than I figured, but we have a lot of areas we need to improve,’’ he said. “When we’re clicking, we’re doing great. It’s just that we need to get that click going for 32 minutes instead of 16 or 24.’’

Boys hoops: Grizzlies gearing up for home stretch Showdown looming between ThunderRidge, Mountain Vista By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Joe Marucci is a senior guard for the ThunderRidge boys basketball team. However, he sounded an awful lot like a coach when discussing what’s on tap for the fourth-ranked Grizzlies. “We’ve got a stretch of four games coming up that are bears,” said Marucci. “We’re just looking one game at a time.” ThunderRidge (13-4) was tied with second-ranked Mountain Vista with 5-0 records atop of the Continental League standings prior to Tuesday night’s games. The Grizzlies took a six game winning streak into the opening game of their tough

stretch Tuesday night with a game at Heritage against the suddenly formidable Eagles. On Friday night the biggest game so far this season in the Continental campaign will take place when ThunderRidge visits unbeaten and second-ranked Mountain Vista. The following week Chaparral and Regis Jesuit play in the Grizzly Den at ThunderRidge. Mountain Vista (16-0) played at Ponderosa Tuesday night. Ponderosa, Highlands Ranch, Legend and Heritage were tied, two games behind the leaders, with 3-2 league records prior to Tuesday night’s games. The following is a wrap up on last week’s action. HERITAGE - The Eagles (8-9) showed the ability to win close games in Continental League truimphs over Chaparral and Castle View. Eli Ziegler scored 22 points against

Chaparral and tossed in 18 points against the Sabercats. LITTLETON - The Lions (7-10) lost to ThunderRidge but held off Rock Canyon to get their first league win. ARAPAHOE - The then seventh-ranked Warriors suffered two Centennial League setbacks. Matt Glasscock scored 15 points in a 4938 loss to Cherokee Trail. The Warriors were 2-for-15 from 3-point range and missed a trio of 3-pointers in the final minute as visiting Cherry Creek escaped with a 46-43 victory. Mitch Albyn scored 14 points against the Bruins. VALOR CHRISTIAN - The Eagles, last week’s third ranked Class 4A team, grabbed a 20-13 lead but unbeaten No. 4 San Creek pulled away for a 76-61 win. Chase Foster scored 17 points and Garrett Baggett had 14 points for Valor (15-4).
