Centennial finishes roundabout project Local motorists, merchants warm up to work as traffic flows By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Centennial has completed reconstruction and intersection improvements to one of the most congested areas of the city. The $1 million project, which began Sept. 17, was split into two phases and included the installation of new concrete pavement on Peoria Street between Arapahoe Road and construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Peoria and Peakview

Avenue. At first, some irritated commuters weren’t warming up to the idea of the roundabout, but now seem to see wisdom in the city’s decision. Mark Allen, who used to commute from Aurora to Centennial, admits he’s not as opposed to the idea as he was when the project was first announced. “Yeah, I hated the one up north at Caley, and still do, but this one isn’t so bad,” said Allen of the roundabout. “I still think I would have rather seen a traffic light, but things do seem to move, and I’ll take that over the alternative.” Even local merchants in the shopping Project continues on Page 12

After a three-month project, the construction at Peakview and Peoria is complete, yielding a new roundabout that improves and regulates traffic flow in the normally congested area of Centennial. The roundabout, seen here looking to the north on Peoria, is part of a larger project that improved drainage and added more turn lanes in the area. Photo by Deborah Grigsby

Education plan outlines alternatives Superintendent finds flaws in Littleton man’s proposal By Jennifer Smith

Ella Arendale and Sasha Lipkind look over a few letters addressed to Santa. Students and Brownie Scouts from Cherry Creek Academy collected more than 2,700 letters for the Macy’s Believe campaign that donates $1 per letter to Make-A-Wish. The students delivered their special correspondence to the Macy’s in Centennial on Dec. 14, National Believe Day, and received $2 per letter. Photo by Deborah Grigsby

A very special delivery Letters to Santa help grant wishes to kids in need By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com They came with hope in their hearts, and letters to Santa in their hands. More than 20 Cherry Creek Academy students and Brownie Scouts from Troop 3977 packed the Macy’s at The Streets at SouthGlenn Dec. 14 to stuff a special red mailbox with letters to the big man up north. However, the 2,700 letters they delivered were not so much about toys and games, but more about an effort raise money for kids with life-threatening medical conditions. Now in its fifth year, Macy’s “Believe” campaign donates $1, up to $1 million, to

Make-A-Wish for every stamped letter to Santa delivered to official red Believe stations around the country. An additional dollar per letter was added on Dec. 14, Macy’s National Believe Day. “This is such a great way for kids to give back to the community,” said Michelle Spickard, Centennial Macy’s general manager. “All they have to do is write a letter to Santa and drop it in the mailbox. Macy’s handles the rest.” Tricia Kilzer, who helped organize the student effort, knows the importance of Make-A-Wish firsthand. The Phoenix-based organization granted her son’s wish to go to Disney World. “Preston was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the age of 5,” said Kilzer. “We took his Make-A-Wish trip when he was six and a half.” Preston, who prepared the group’s official letter count for Macy’s, said, “It was

really cool that my school and friends were able to make such an impact on a child’s life.” Kilzer credits the success of the students’ efforts with “exceptional” support from the school’s director, Jay Cerny, and assistant director, David Loomis. The Macy’s Believe campaign was inspired by the story of 8-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon, who in 1897 wrote a letter to the New York Sun newspaper, questioning the existence of Santa Claus. Editor Francis Church replied, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist …” The Believe campaign continues through Dec. 24, and people of all ages are encouraged to participate by writing letters, or by forming letter-writing campaigns at schools, churches and other community organizations. Letters must be delivered to the official Macy’s Believe station located inside each store.

John Conlin believes education is the civil-rights issue of our time, and he’s started a nonprofit to tackle it — provocatively called End the Education Plantation. “In a very real sense, our children are slaves to a broken school system robbing them and us of our future,” says Conlin on his website. “It’s time to free the slaves once more.” He’s been spending time in Washington, D.C., lobbying for a federal law that would give education funding directly to parents in the form of what he calls “Educational Freedom Accounts.” They could spend that money on any school they choose. His plan is based on a free-market premise, in which groups of like-minded folks could band together and start their own schools. Conlin postulates ones that work would thrive, while those that don’t would go away. “It would transform the whole definition of what a public school is,” he said. The self-employed management consultant says he had a “Rosa Parks moment” when he realized he was fed up — despite the fact that his grown son got through Littleton Public Schools just fine. “You could say I have no skin in the game, but I do. I’m an American,” he said. LPS Superintendent Scott Murphy agrees that education should matter to all Americans, and he would put the U.S. education system up against any in the world. “In the ‘70s, we did an extremely bold thing,” he said. “We decided all children deserve an education … and we gave them the type of education that they should expect in American society.” Murphy notes there is choice already — open enrollment, vouchers, magnet schools, charter schools, private schools — Education continues on Page 12

Uncertainty hinders recovery, industry leaders say South chamber breakfast features panel discussion

said Rice of the looming fiscal cliff, the conundrum the government faces Jan. 1 when the terms of the Budget Control Act of 2011 are set to go into effect. “It’s more of how it will be addressed.” According to Rice, Lockheed has plenty to lose should the nation tumble over the fiscal cliff, pointing out Lockheed’s major customers are government and defense contractors such as the Air Force. While technology plays a significant role in bolstering the financial future, it too can’t move forward without confident investors, said Van Tine, suggesting one of the more certain places to invest may be internally. “I think one of the best investments you can make is in investing in your own business,” he said. “It’s like having money in your pocket and just waiting for someone to come and tell you it’s OK to spend it.” But even as fiscal cliff negotiations progress in Washington, the panel agreed the real key to freeing up cubbyholed cash lies in knowing what lies ahead — good or bad. Colorado’s diverse economic base has helped it survive, according to John Brackney, chamber president and CEO. Pent-up momentum was a consistent thread throughout the morning discussion. “We’ll probably see a slow start to 2013,”said Matthews. “Hopefully, with more certainty, we’ll see more cash come back into the market.”

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Despite having record amounts of cash on hand, businesses are afraid to spend it. At least that’s what a panel of industry leaders at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce 26th annual Economic Forecast Breakfast theorized. “There’s a lot of good signs out there, there’s money on the balance sheets, but there’s also a lot of cash still on the sidelines,” said Mike Matthews, Wells Fargo Denver market president. “The big question out there is, what role will the government play? What’s the fiscal policy going to look like? What’s the tax policy going to look like?” Matthews, along with Al Power, Gates Corp. president and CEO; Gary Campbell, Centura Health president and CEO; Joe Rice, Lockheed Martin Space Systems director of government relations; and Jeppesen President and CEO Mark Van Tine made up a brain trust of local industry leaders gathered, along with more than 800 guests,

Wreaths decorate graves of veterans Volunteers take part in annual ceremony By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Several hundred people braved chilly weather to attend the Wreaths Across America ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery. Wreaths Across America began in 1992 when the owner of Worcester Wreath Co. in Maine discovered the company had a surplus of holiday wreaths. The owner arranged to have the wreaths taken and placed on graves at Arlington National Cemetery to remember the veterans there, honor them and to teach younger generations about the value of their freedoms. The program remained largely unchanged until 2005, when it received national attention. The demand for wreaths grew beyond what the company could donate, so a program was established for sponsoring wreaths at a cost of

$15 per wreath. Those taking part in the Fort Logan ceremonies on Dec. 15 included military personnel, veterans’ groups like the Scottish American Veterans, and civilians including members of the Patriot Guard. There were about an equal number of young men and women of the Civil Air Patrol, the Young Marines, the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts taking part in the event. In addition, there were numerous individuals and groups who had volunteered to place the 1,100 wreaths on the graves of veterans. Ralph Nations, who was master of ceremonies, said the Fort Logan event has been part of the national program for several years. The ceremonies began with a color guard presenting the flags and representatives of each service placing a wreath. Nations then introduced the families and Gold Star mothers attending the service, and read a list of the men who died in combat fighting terrorism. That was followed by speeches, a 21-gun salute, bugles playing “Taps” and bagpipers playing “Amazing Grace.” Volunteers then stepped

Volunteers spent part of Dec. 15 placing 1,100 holiday wreaths at the graves of veterans at Fort Logan National Cemetery, in a program that began at Arlington National Cemetery.

The program places 1,100 wreaths on the graves of veterans. Photos by Tom Munds up to place the 1,100 wreaths, which could only be placed on a small percentage of the 80,000 graves at Fort Logan. Some placing wreaths were families of the veterans, and there were wreaths designated for the graves of veterans who have died in Afghanistan and Iraq. The undesignated wreaths were taken and placed on veterans’ graves in the area around the ceremony. Eagle Scout Ethan Pfeiffer joined fellow members of Littleton’s Boy Scout Troop 361 who lined the road holding American flags during the ceremony. “My family has a history of military service, so I feel honored to be there today,” the Arapahoe High School senior said. “It meant a lot to be part of these ceremonies. I feel it is a way to volunteer my time to honor the

Cindy Fellows held a wreath close to her as she walked to the grave of a Vietnam veteran nearby. She said she is an Army veteran who served in Iraq and volunteered to place wreaths when she heard about the program. “I like to do anything I can to honor veterans,” the Centennial resident said. “I didn’t even know about the Wreaths Over America program until a friend told

me about today’s ceremony. I am so glad I came. It is a special program and I am honored to be part of it.” Young John Paul Justius was also a volunteer and, with the guidance of his dad, placed a wreath on the grave of World War II Army Capt. Lee Lang. “I think this is special,” the Castle Rock 7-year-old said. “My uncle is in the Army and we are doing this to honor soldiers.”

Two fire departments should merge, study says Ultimate goal would be new fire authority By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The status quo is not an option, according to a $40,000 study commissioned jointly by Littleton and Englewood to recommend a future for both fire departments. “Hesitancy or failure to move forward in the face of today’s imposing challenges to local government consigns communities to service erosion and disappointment,” reads the report, presented by James Broman of the consulting firm Emergency Services Consulting International during a joint study session Dec. 10. The fastest solution, says Broman, is to create an intergovernmental agreement, which is how the Littleton/ Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant is managed. But the long-term goal, he says, should be to create a new fire authority. Under an IGA, each agency would retain taxing authority and a high degree of local control, but would save a combined $78,000 right away by streamlining services like administrative and support functions. Englewood Council Member Rick Gillit wondered about uprooting both departments for $39,500 each, but

TRAILMARK DEAL POSSIBLE Littleton City Manager Michael Penny confirms the city is working on an agreement with West Metro Fire District to serve Trailmark, hopefully increasing response times to the Jefferson County subdivision and lowering homeowners’ insurance rates. The deal would include sharing WMFD’s training facility; the Littleton/Englewood facility is in peril because of new regulations regarding water discharge into the river. “We’re working with our fire partners and potentially Englewood to make this agreement happen,” said Penny. The matter is on council’s Jan. 15 agenda.

Broman pointed out more would be saved by creating an authority. Ideally, it would include Englewood, Littleton, Littleton Fire Protection District, Highlands Ranch Metro District and possibly Sheridan, which now contracts with Denver. At that point, voters will likely be asked to accept a new property tax to pay for service. Currently, Littleton and Englewood’s departments are funded through sales tax, while Highlands Ranch residents pay a mill levy specifically for fire service, contracted through LFR. An authority is similar to a special district like South Suburban Parks and Recreation, but representatives from

each entity would sit on the governing board. Possibilities for combining efforts include dispatch, equipment purchases, training and fire-prevention efforts. With the retirements of fire chiefs John Mullin of Littleton and Mike Pattarozzi of Englewood in the notso-distant future, an authority would have just one chief. A fire marshal and training chief would be eliminated, leaving one each. ESCI recommends no reduction in operations personnel. ESCI conducted interviews with stakeholders from city council to firefighters. Many commented on the pride residents have in their departments and worried that combining cultures would be a challenge. But several felt joint operations would result in better planning, leadership and financial stability. Someone in Englewood said EFD is “traditional to a fault,” and someone in Littleton said there is “commandstaff groupthink” in LFR. People in both communities said personnel and quality of service are their biggest strengths. Littleton Councilor Phil Cernanec asked Broman about the challenges of convincing voters to approve a mill levy. “I think it’s important that word begins to spread out there,” said Broman, adding that leadership is the key to success.

Fresh Fare by King Soopers opens Store has large produce section, grab-and-go meals made on site By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com A crowd turned out Dec. 12 as the Fresh Fare by King Soopers store at Kent Place opened for business. This is the first Fresh Fare by King Soopers in Colorado, and the doors opened at 6 a.m. to a steady parade of potential customers apparently eager to check out the new design. By about 3 p.m. opening day, the store was crowded. There was almost a need for a cop to direct traffic as customers pushed their baskets from section to section. One store employee said it appeared to be a very good opening-day crowd. The 30,000-square-foot store has a 8,000-square-foot mezzanine where food is prepared. Kelli McGannon, King Soopers marketing and public relations spokesperson, said the store will cater to shoppers seeking fresh fruits and vegetables from local growers, organic and gluten-free products and so-called grab-and-go meals made fresh

breakfast menu, including build-your-own breakfast burritos from 7 to 10 a.m. There is a Starbucks Coffee location near the deli, plus an adjacent seating area.

The store is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and employs an estimated 180 people. The official opening was at 9 a.m. Dec. 12. There were some brief speeches and McGannon handed over a giant check for more than $161,000 to the American Red Cross. She explained it was the proceeds from a drive to raise money for the Red Cross during the summer’s wildfires. She made a number of introductions of store and company personnel. She then was joined by store manager Lee Lucero and the mayors of Englewood and Cherry Hills for the ribbon-cutting that was followed by offering cake to all comers. Laura Phillips came to check out the store and said it will now be where she shops. “This is such a nice store and it is only a few blocks from home,” the Denver resident said. “I love the wide selection of fresh produce and all the other amenities the store offers.” She smiled and said she didn’t plan it but she just picked up beef stroganoff pot pies for dinner and another prepared meal for the next night’s dinner. “The meals look very good,” she said. “I can’t wait for our family to try them. If they are as good as they look, I’ll probably be back for more.”

Christmas comes early for at-risk youngsters Bikes for Tykes distributes 180 two-wheelers to area children By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Christmas arrived early for 16-year-old Chris Nelan. On Dec. 15, he got his first bicycle. Earlier this year, the Highlands Ranch teen also got a new family. Nelan, among hundreds of at-risk youth receiving free bicycles through the Bikes for Tykes program, is being adopted by Michael and Yvonne Miller. During 15 years of foster care, Nelan never owned a bicycle. He chose a black mountain bike splashed with

red and white accents from the Centennial warehouse at which Bikes for Tykes is headquartered. “I think it’s one of the nicest ones here,” Nelan said. “This is exciting,” Michael Miller said. “Now the three of us can ride together.” “We can do something as a family,” agreed Yvonne Miller. Nelan was among about 180 children who received bicycles through the program during the holiday distribution. A Castle Rock family rolled five bicycles out the warehouse doors the same day, one for each of the children in their blended family. The family of seven lives in a twobedroom apartment, victims of hard eco-

nomic times. But they’re on their way back up, said Jacob, who asked the family’s last name not be used. “I just got a good job,” he said. But because their bills have piled up, there’s little money for Christmas gifts. “These are the first presents we’ve gotten for our kids,” Jacob said, watching his 3-year-old son Cavan straddle a red SpiderMan bicycle. “When I first walked in and saw all these bikes, I wanted to cry. This is tremendous.” Bikes for Tykes collaborates with several different agencies to find families in need, among them the Douglas, Jefferson and Arapahoe social-services departments, the Women’s Crisis and Family Outreach, and Denver’s Ecumenical Refugee and Immigration Services. Program founder Jeff Fleck said Saturday was an “amazing” day. He and AJ Stapleton, who founded a companion program called Project ReCycle, oversaw the holiday distribution with help from a team of volunteers. For Nelan, the bicycle is the icing on what has been a very good year. At 15, he’d given up hope of finding an adoptive family until he met the Millers, who said they felt an immediate connection with the teen. “The older you get, the harder it is to get adopted,” Nelan said. “I was pretty surprised. But it was a pleasant surprise.”

‘Nutcracker of Parker’ stirs holiday spirit Ballet sells out 6 shows at PACE Center By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Minutes after the final performance of “The Nutcracker of Parker” concluded, an inspired young girl watched her reflection in the window as she practiced her ballet moves. The ninth annual “Nutcracker of Parker” is believed to be the largest-ever theater production in the town’s history. Its sold-out run — six shows from Dec. 13-16 — drew more than 3,200 spectators to the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center, a 536-seat performing arts venue in downtown Parker. Children chattered excitedly between acts and cried out with delight during the last performance, and the grateful crowd gave a rousing ovation to the 121-member cast and crew. Put on by Colorado School of Dance, a company that has served Parker for more than 10 years, the production has only gotten bigger. When it moved from Chaparral High School to the PACE Center last year, organizers added two shows. Billed as “A Parker Family Christmas Tra-

dition,” the hypnotizing ballet carried the audience through the fantastical visions of Clara Stahlbaum on Christmas Eve in 1830. A handful of professional actors were brought in for some of the larger roles, but the vast majority of the cast hails from the Parker area. Lisa Tuska, owner and director of Colorado School of Dance, said the children have the opportunity to work with professional ballerinas and cavaliers in a popular show. Likewise, the community is treated to a high-caliber show in the center of town. Tuska said she was thrilled by the reception that “The Nutcracker of Parker” has received. “I think it just shows how much the Parker community wants the cultural arts,” she said. Auditions began in early August and rehearsals ran for 16 weeks. The hard work clearly showed with the calculated leaps and precise spins and pirouettes by the amateurs and professionals alike. Children as young as 6 played baby mice; other kids were cast as bakers and royal court dancers. Despite instructions to avoid taking video, some proud parents couldn’t help but sneakily film their child’s performance on their phones.

Company gives power to people after Sandy SolaRover generator brings electricity to multiple sites By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com On the other side of the country, a generator supplied by a Lone Tree company is quietly making a difference to those left homeless, hurt and temporarily without power by Hurricane Sandy. John Spisak took one of his company’s mobile solar generators to the East Coast about two weeks after disaster struck. He returned to Lone Tree recently, but left the generator there. It will stay until at least early January, when donated funds supporting its use likely will run dry. “There are infinite needs,” said Spisak, director of SolaRover. “We could probably have taken 100 units to the East Coast if we’d had them.” The SolaRover was put to immediate use when it arrived in New York, and has been in near-constant use. “It’s powered one of the only stores in (an area) that had fresh food,” Spisak said. “It helped not only power, but shelter a street kitchen that was set up to feed hundreds of needy people three meals a day. It’s powered a volunteer center. It’s powered several apartments. It powered part of a church complex and a Thanksgiving Day dinner. It’s now in New Jersey for the

Courtesy photo second time powering a U.S. Park Service office, and some Army outbuildings associated with it.” Representatives of Greenpeace did not return calls for comment, but expressed their gratitude for the generator on the organization’s blog. “Over two weeks … we’ve worked with Occupy Sandy to set up food, clothing and

resource distribution sites, medical clinics, communications hubs — all with solar power,” read the Nov. 15 entry. “Thousands of people have used the solar cells to call loved ones from newly charged phones or just used the flood lights to stand and talk to neighbors. Though the power demands from the relief effort here in Rockaway Beach are intense, we haven’t had any prob-

lems.” Solar-powered units cost significantly less to run than the diesel generators serving much of the area. One medical clinic was spending $200 a day on fuel for its generator, Spisak said. By contrast, the SolaRover is a hybrid, with a diesel generator built in to take over when batteries are low or in inclement weather. “Our unit’s been in operation for three weeks,” he said. “The (diesel) generator has only run a total of 12 hours and the tank is half full.” A New Jersey-based emergency response firm, Louis Berger Corp., paid for the generator’s transportation to the East Coast. SolaRover is covering the remainder, which adds up to between $3,000 and $4,000 a month in truck rental fees, tolls, fuel and other needed support. While Spisak said he’s happy to help, he feels frustrated by the situation. “We’re doing it because it’s the right thing to do,” he said. “The government response was just not adequate. We had been trying for a long time to get (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) and other government authorities to work with us to be proactively prepared. We’ve never had any success. Nobody gets excited until after the fact and then it’s too late. Hopefully we can educate public officials that what they should be doing is deploying systems like this in advance of these storms.”

8-OPINION

December 21, 2012

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Joey Chestnut’s on an open fire, and bowl games That’s not a typo in the headline. There is a guy named Joey Chestnut. He is a nearrecord setting Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest champion. He once ate 68 hot dogs in 12 minutes. By the time Alabama and Notre Dame have taken off their shoulder pads on Jan. 7, it may seem as if we have metaphorically eaten 68 hot dogs in a short period of time too. Thirty-five bowl games were scheduled. That means 70 Division I teams. I now cringe at the words “bowl eligible.” They simply mean that a team managed to win at least 6 out of 12 games. Big wow. When I was a kid there were four bowl games and all of them were played on Jan. 1. They had discreet names like Rose, Cotton, Sugar and Orange. The Gator Bowl came along, and so did the Liberty Bowl and the Sun Bowl. I always felt like they were outsiders. Before you knew it bowl games started to sprout like something in a bad greenhouse. And they all took sponsors and names that sounded like something Monty Python had

made up. There’s now one called Belk Bowl. I am not kidding. My favorite (or least favorite) is called Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl. We all know why there has been this heinous proliferation of bowl games: $. Division I college football is the only college sport that doesn’t have a playoff arrangement. It makes no sense. There is no logical argument against it. They somehow manage to have playoffs in D-II and D-III. And Pop Warner, and Colorado state 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A, and six-man. The levels of selfishness and imbecility are felt by all of us, except sponsors, some

parents and girlfriends, and the nutcake alumni at Nowhere State that went 6-6. If a coach and a team go to a bowl game, it becomes an implied achievement, and the coaches can negotiate it into their contracts, even if their records might have included losses to North South Dakota State and South North Dakota State. I used to love college football. Maybe I would have lost a lot of interest over time no matter what. And if it all really bothers me, why not just read a book, or take a walk, instead of investing my time on a lost cause? But if I did either of those I would have one less topic to write about. Would you really want to know what I was reading on Jan. 7? Milton’s “Paradise Lost.” Now that would be a joy to read about. My alma mater played in a minor bowl a few years ago. I wore my sweatshirt and cheered. We won. And then I asked myself, “Who really cared about whether we won or lost or played or whom the sponsor was or what the game-time temperature was or much of anything else?” Maybe bettors.

There’s a line on every game, all 35, no matter what the teams’ records were, and there will always be bettors, because there will always be money to be made. If we can’t have the logic of a playoff system, perhaps we could have bowls that were more fascinating. A Zen Bowl might be fun. The Metaphysical Bowl. A Dysfunctionally Officiated Bowl, where there might be penalties for illegal team colors, or for getting in a prevent defense during the National Anthem. One thing has improved. When I was a kid we watched the four bowl games on a blonde Philco. If any of the games overlapped, and you wanted to switch, you had to get up, walk across the room, and change the channel. One year my father had the bright idea of buying a second television, which sat next to the blonde Philco. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Corruption in Afghanistan

Hope, encouragement, success and Zig Ziglar “The doors of hope swing widest on the hinges of encouragement” — Zig Ziglar Born in 1926 and passed away in November 2012. And somewhere along the way, Zig Ziglar went from selling pots and pans door-to-door, to being considered the world’s ambassador of hope, encouragement, motivation and success. As you read my thoughts this week, please do so under the umbrella of success. Because at the end of the day, Zig Ziglar was about success and helping individuals, small business owners and large corporations succeed. So whether we grew personally, professionally or spiritually because of Zig, that would have been his definition of success. Yes, this is a tribute column to a man who has changed millions of lives for the better. And yes, that is millions with an “M.” For each one of us whose life has been positively impacted by Mr. Ziglar, we certainly care about the other 999,999-plus people who have experienced a positive change in some way because of Zig, but we are intimately familiar with how he was able to influence and change our own personal situation. I attended his funeral and memorial service. It was a sad, happy, motivating and inspiring event. Kind of like what you would absolutely come to expect from Zig Ziglar, even as he left this world and entered eternity. During the services, people in attendance and even those who spoke during the service used one-word descriptors of Zig to try and capture his essence and who he was as a man, a husband, a father, a friend, a coach, a motivator and a believer in God. Words like coach, teacher, motiva-

Last year I began pushing for a congressional investigation into allegations of corruption and mismanagement at a U.S.sponsored Afghan National Army hospital, known as the Dawood National Military Hospital, in Kabul. I did this after a story broke in the Wall Street Journal about senior Afghan medical personnel selling U.S. military medical aid on the black market. Afghan soldiers and police were dying at the U.S.-sponsored Dawood Hospital from untreated wounds and malnutrition because their families couldn’t come up with the necessary bribes to pay the hospital staff in order for them to get the care that they needed. The investigation culminated in two hearings, on July 28 and September 12, 2012, by a subcommittee of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee chaired by Congressman Jason Chaffetz of Utah. More information can be found by going to http://oversight.house.gov. The conclusion anyone listening to the testimony can easily reach is that the Afghan Surgeon General, Gen. Ahmed Zia Yaftali, was complicit in the corruption and that U.S. Army Lt. Gen. William Caldwell not only delayed an investigation to shield the administration from any political embarrassment prior to the 2010 midterm elections, but he purposely limited the scope of the investigation when it did occur in order to shift the focus away from the obvious issue of corruption. It is unfortunate that, despite the chairman’s recommendations, the Department of Defense has refused to fully investigate the conduct of Caldwell and the Afghan government has also refused to prosecute

Centennial Citizen tor, consistent, encourager, leader, salesman, genuine, Christian and mentor were shared and accurate. In his speeches, Mr. Ziglar focused on five key areas of life: Healthy Self Image, Positive Attitude, Winning Relationships, Setting and Achieving Goals, and Hope. Now it didn’t matter what your role was in life or what job you had or who you were related to, his message was meant for every single person on this planet no matter who you were and where you were from. Race, religious belief, family history, work history, past, present, or future didn’t matter to Zig because his purpose, his passion and his intent was to be a difference maker in the lives of each and every one of us. For those of you who read my column each week, I feel like even though you may have never met Mr. Ziglar, you do know him and have known him ever since I started writing this column. I say that with confidence because everything that I write, even though they come from my personal experience and observations each week, are founded, grounded and based on the impact Zig Ziglar has had on me for the past 26 years. “The doors of hope swing widest on the Norton continues on Page 9

Yaftali. Unfortunately, I believe that the behavior of General Caldwell in Afghanistan — either a lack of leadership or a willingness to look the other way while Afghan officials are free to steal from the American taxpayers with impunity — is not uncommon. The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) found significant problems in Afghanistan with “fraud with construction and maintenance contracts, procurement, public corruption and bribery, and theft of property and services.” Last week I was in Afghanistan and I visited the hospital. The visit reminded me of what it was like for me when I was in the military and had to stand inspections. Medical personnel stood at attention in clean uniforms eager to tell me what their job descriptions were and to show me what equipment they had, and they even took me to patients who were being respectfully and professionally cared for. However, it is impossible for me to know the real story about current conditions at the facility since the hospital staff has put on such performances before and then reverted back to their corrupt practices as soon as the oversight pres Coffman continues on Page 9

Year-end tax advantages for 2012 This year is quickly coming to a close. There are only a few weeks left to make changes for the tax year. Here are some guidelines to help reduce taxes now or in the future. This year we had some nice positive surprises on Wall Street considering all the bad news the media was pushing. Debt problems in Europe, austerity measures in Greece, a significant drop in growth in China and our own political bickering could have brought the stock market to its knees. However we had double-digit returns in most equities, including foreign holdings, and many bond portfolios had above-average returns as well. If you followed our tax planning from last year, you would have taken tax losses from unwanted investments in 2011. You can now use up some of those losses that carried forward and adjust your portfolio once again. While tax loss harvesting remains a good tax saving strategy, this year the goal may be to rack up as many long-term capital gains as possible before the current tax law expires. You can take up to $3,000 each year as a loss against your ordinary income or 100 percent of losses against investment gains.

Review your account and search for longterm capital gains that can be harvested this year. This will push the tax liability into 2012 before the possible increase in capital gains taxes in the future. This is a great strategy that can offset losses, step up your cost basis and realign your portfolio all at once. Current tax law allows both qualified dividends and capital gains on assets held more than a year to be taxed at the 15 percent limit or lower, depending on your tax bracket. Consider realizing capital gains in a child’s account where the capital gains rate may actually be zero this year. You may also consider converting a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. While indi-

vidual situations vary, this would be a good year to volunteer to pay the taxes at current rates on IRA assets and convert them into a Roth before rates increase. Given that the income limits are waived for conversions, even high wage earners may feel this year has potentially lower tax rates. Distributions after age 59½ are tax-free if the Roth account is held for five years. This pushes the future gain into a tax-free status which could last a lifetime or longer to a beneficiary. Review your accounts at work and maximize your pre-tax contributions. This will help to reduce your taxable income for the year and you could put more money to work. The maximum contribution this year is $17,000 in a 401(k) with an extra $5,500 catch-up if you are over age 50. Beginning in 2013, these numbers have been indexed up to $17,500 with the same catch-up provision. IRA limits also increased by $500. Self-employed individuals may have a better advantage if they have the cash flow to fund their individual 401(k) accounts up to $50,000 plus the $5,500 catch-up if eligible. The plan must be opened by year-end, which may be different than other self-em-

hinges of encouragement.” I remember the first time I heard Zig say this. He was the master encourager, the ambassador of hope, and the most genuine and consistent man I have ever had the blessing and privilege to know and work for. My hope and my encouragement to you is to keep looking for ways to encourage others, build them up, inspire and motivate them, and help them become the person that you know and that they will soon discover that they are meant to be.

“You can have everything in this world that you want, just as long as you help enough other people get what they want.” This is Zig’s most famous quote, and I am here as living proof that he lived this principle every day of his life. He helped me become the man, the husband, the dad, the friend, the employee and the believer in God that I am today, and I will be eternally grateful. For many years I have heard hundreds if not thousands of Zig Ziglar stories from people

all over the world. Anyone who ever had a history, or encounter at a seminar, or just read his books or listened to his audio programs all shared what that meant. I would love to hear your Zig Ziglar story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we all look forward with hope it will be a better than good week.

sure on them was lifted. The corruption at the Dawood National Military Hospital is not isolated but representative of a much larger problem of corruption. I left Afghanistan confirming my belief that the greatest threat to the future of the country is not the Taliban but the pervasive corruption that permeates every level of Afghan governance along with the lack of leadership by the United States in confronting it. In the hearing on July 24, 2012, one

of the officers who first reported the abuses at the hospital and was rebuffed by Caldwell, commented that in the Afghan culture when you are haggling over the price at a bazaar the seller will only take you seriously when he knows you are prepared to walk away. We must set firm benchmarks in place for combating corruption and if they fail to reach them we must be prepared to stop funding the Afghan government and walk away. U.S. Rep.

Neighbors opposed to high-rise in Littleton Planned five-story apartment building wouldn’t fit, some say By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com To say people who live in the Sterne Park neighborhood are perturbed would be putting it extremely mildly. About 50 of them gathered at Bemis Library Dec. 13 to hear about a five-story apartment building proposed to replace the old sheriff’s building at Littleton Boulevard and Bemis Street, across the street from the Littleton Municipal Courthouse. They lobbed questions and criticisms at Andy Clay of Alliance Residential Co., whose patience seemed to

wear thin as the two-hour meeting progressed. Although traffic, height, safety, views, stranger danger and stress on infrastructure were all discussed, the gist of the argument was succinctly put by Fran Pierson: “This is Capitol Hill, this is not Littleton.” Clay said adjustments could be made to the architecture as the plan progresses toward final approval by city council, but stopped short of saying it could be smaller. A rezoning request is calling for 325 rental units, a parking garage, swimming pool and a new traffic light at Bemis and Littleton Boulevard. Two-bedroom apartments are planned to rent for $1,800 a month. Not everyone hated the architecture, but nobody liked the size. “It looks architecturally attractive,” said Lori Schulz. “However, it doesn’t fit our community.” Jean Gallagher meant “fit” in a more literal sense. “Why would you put the biggest building like that in the smallest part of Littleton?” she wondered. Clay pointed out that the current owner could, under present zoning, build something much taller with both

retail and residential units. His planned building won’t be taller than the courthouse across the street. Neighbors are worried it will bring 600 or more additional cars to the area, already burdened by light-rail riders parking on side streets. Many, they fear, will cut through the neighborhood to the south to rather than wait at a stoplight to go north. “You can’t fit two full-size vehicles on Bemis now without scraping mirrors,” said Susan Burgstiner. Some residents urged Clay to save the original portion of the current building, noting it’s on the city’s List of Merit. Such designation means it’s considered worthy of preservation but doesn’t require approval for any alterations. Clay said if the $60 million project is approved, work will begin in August or September 2013 and take about 22 months to complete. Because it’s a rezoning, the plan will face public hearings in front of both the planning board and city council. Those have not been scheduled. A group of residents concerned about the project has started to organize. For information, call Burgstiner at 303797-9507.

Education: Public has a lot of input, official says Education continues from Page 1

and districts provide some services for most of them. Even home-schoolers are invited to participate in things like art and athletics. He adds that with an elected school board and community involvement on accountability and steering committees, among others, the public has a lot

of input now. Its voice can also be heard loud and clear during bond and mill-levy elections, consistently approved in LPS. “We’ve asked our public what it wants,” said Murphy. He thinks Conlin’s proposal could lead to self-segregation, reversing progress the country has made. “What we need to think about, public and private, is the extent to which we stratify our society and its students,” he said. “The great equalizer for all our children is public education.” He bristles at Conlin’s comment: “It’s obvious the problems aren’t due to a lack of funding. Funding for education has increased

dramatically over the years. Spending on K-12 schools, adjusting for inflation and enrollment growth, has roughly tripled over the last 50 years.” At that, Murphy brought out a foot-and-a-half tall pile of papers — three years of passed legislation, most of which cost money to implement. There are rules at the state and federal level, the departments of education, homeland security and transportation, the IRS and on and on. All in all, Murphy says he welcomes the conversation. “I’d hope we all have the same vision, the best outcome for all students,” he said. “To bring out every one of their gifts, and making them the richer for

having come through our doors. And if we don’t do the job, don’t hire us.” Conlin didn’t expect everyone to love his idea. “At their core, the ultimate reason defenders of the status quo fight choice is because of their fear that if the parent or child had the choice, they’d run off,” he said. “Therefore, they refuse to grant choice. Isn’t that the very definition of slavery? My plan will change public schools, not destroy them. And the kind of thinking that denies people a choice because I might disagree with your choice is, again, the essence of slavery.” Conlin’s website is endtheeducationplantation.org.

Project: Roundabouts allow flow Project continues from Page 1

centers seem to have a different outlook. “At first we were in a bit of a lurch, because we don’t get notified of the construction, so that kinda put a damper on business,” said Terri Lack, who owns a restaurant and wine bar in the Shops at Centennial, located on the northwest corner of Arapahoe and Peoria. “The road closures really made it hard for folks to get in here, but now, the roundabout is great. It dumps people off right into our parking lot. I like it.” The city defended its choice of the circular intersection, saying it was an appropriate fit based on several reasons, including

traffic volume and traffic flow, based on its proximity to the stoplight at Peoria and Arapahoe Road. City spokeswoman Allison Wittern said in an earlier interview that the roundabouts allow for continuous traffic movement, thus reducing the possibility for congestion. Cost was also a consideration based on the fact the roundabout was cheaper, more efficient and would “provide long-term savings because we won’t have a traffic signal to power.” Although the project is complete, there is still some finessing. Drivers in the area will continue to see intermittent cone zones as construction wraps up.

County tax sale generates $4.4 million Staff report

The Arapahoe County Treasurer’s Office collected more than $4.46 million in delinquent taxes during its annual online tax lien sale. According to Treasurer Sue Sandstrom’s office, $263,334 in premium bids were received, which provides revenue for the Arapahoe County general fund. In a tax lien sale, the lien, which consists of delinquent taxes, accrued interest and costs associated with the sale, is offered to prospective investors at a public auction. The Arapahoe County Treasurer’s Office holds its tax lien sale in November each year. The online sale sold 1,398 out of 1,423 outstanding liens.

By state law, the remaining 25 certificates will be held by the county until sold. The certificates are still available for purchase. The value of the county-held liens is $15,942, compared to $142,924 in 2011. “Conducting the sale online allows more citizens to participate,” Sandstrom said in a statement. “This year there were bidders from 47 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, and six bidders serving in the armed forces in foreign countries. We had a very successful tax lien sale this year.” For more information about how to purchase the remaining certificates or to find out how to participate in the 2013 tax lien sale, visit the Treasurer’s Office website at www.arapahoegov.com or call 303-7954550.

HOME PRICES ON

: I’ve been reading that after a few years of price declines that housing is starting to appreciate again and that rents are on the rise because of low vacancy rates. That seems like an ideal time to buy. Should I be looking at buying instead of renting and if so what should I do to get started? : First, you are correct that home prices are on the rise as available inventory has dropped to less than 40% of where it was just a few years ago. And with stricter lending standards fewer people are qualified to purchase forcing them into the rental market thereby driving vacancies

down and rents up. Fortunately the Federal Reserve has been supporting the housing industry through a variety of measures aimed at driving interest rates down. The result is that interest rates are at or near 60 year lows. Therefore, with housing prices still depressed from prior levels the affordability of homes is still near a record. So now IS

a great time to buy, especially given the potential for appreciation that you can capture by buying, and the tax benefits that come with buying. Over the long term you will find that buying versus renting can be tremendously beneficial to buyers. But don’t do so on your own. The first step you should take when considering pur-

Jackson’s joins Celebrity Lanes

Celebrity Lanes, the 40-lane bowling alley, kid zone, arcade, tap house, sports grill and outdoor bocce ball facility that opened at Centennial Center (on the northwest corner of East Arapahoe and South Parker roads) last year, has changed the restaurant operator to Jackson’s All American Sports Grill. Kelmore Development is the owner and developer of the project. I’m told that the bowling alley is busy, and that now, thanks to Jackson’s, so is the restaurant space. The project is a $13 million, 50,000-square-foot family entertainment center.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Bring mittens, hat and scarf. It won’t be a “one-horse open sleigh,” but there is the option of a ride in a horse-drawn carriage through part of Hudson Gardens’ brightly lit 30 acres for “A Hudson Christmas.” The remainder of the property can be visited on foot as one looks up at the special “Aurora Borealis” effect in the tall cottonwoods, or straight ahead to lighted shrubbery and smaller trees. And then, there are dazzling fountains, which offer a different effect as they play with the lights. How did they do that? Hudson Gardens’ executive director Rich Meredith said that Swingle Tree and Landscape Co., which maintains many area properties through the warm months, considers holiday lighting a large portion of its business. They illuminate Denver Botanic Gardens and its Chatfield branch, as well as the town of Parker, he said — and now Hudson Gardens and Event Center. The display will be open nightly from 5:30-8:30 p.m. through Jan. 1, including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s

When the longtime owner of the Lancer Lounge opted to shutter the neighborhood place at 233 E. Seventh Ave. after succumbing to personal financial pressures, it was no surprise that Denver restaurant mogul Frank Bonanno would take over the seedy space. Nestled between Bonanno’s fine dining spot Mizuna and noodle house Bones, and just around the corner from Luca d’Italia, it only made sense to brand the block as Bonanno’s. So six weeks ago, Lancer started morphing into Vesper Lounge with a limited menu, crafted cocktails, beers in cans and on tap, nightly happy hours from 4 to 6 p.m. and 11 to 1 p.m. plus all day Monday, along with savory snacks. I checked out the place last week along with Bonanno PR gal Lauren Hendrick and Westword editor Patty Calhoun to see Bonanno’s interpretation of the famous dive bar. Have no fear, Vesper isn’t a yuppie bar but rather a cleaned-up version of its old self with upholstered booths from the recently shuttered Ambria restaurant that were sold in auction. New kitschy touches include religious candles from Mexico scattered around the walls. Vesper’s menu items include “Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!” (fries, no chips, with or without cheese), a potpourri of sandwiches such as a classic club, marinated fish or shaved Colorado lamb pita, Greek lamb patty, gyro, meats on stick and dips served with warm pita. More information: facebook.com/ VesperLounge. Next up for Bonanno Concepts: a first venture into the suburbs with Bonanno Brothers Pizzeria, which will open at The Vistas at Park Meadow in Lone Tree early next year.

3D Printing Store premieres

Members of The Choralary sing carols Dec. 15 during “A Hudson Christmas.” Eve and New Year’s Day, with the last tickets sold at 8 p.m. If one walks the entire path, it’s about a half-mile, or one can head toward the barn in the northwest corner and find a horse and wagon for $6 per person to traverse part of the grounds. Paths are firm enough for strollers and

wheelchairs. On some evenings, choral groups will perform on a stage in front of the Hudson Residence, Meredith said, but scheduling is a work in progress. Call for information, 303-797-8565 x 324. Hot cocoa and wassail will be available at a couple of locations.

I’m easily amazed by new technology — something I struggle at best to keep up with. So “amazing” is the most appropriate word to describe 3D Printing, Colorado’s first 3D printing store that just opened at 4603 Monaco St. There is currently one location, but look for pop-up versions of the 3d Printing Store springing up after the first of the year.

Western works assembled for exhibit Charles Partridge Adams known for landscapes By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Rocky Mountain Majesty: The Paintings of Charles Partridge Adams” opened Dec. 16 at the Denver Art Museum and runs through Sept. 8, 2013. It is the first time Adams’ masterworks have been displayed together at a major art museum. This will be the only venue for this exhibit of 37 oils and watercolors by the prolific Adams (1858-1942). He is best known for his images of the Colorado mountains, although he created more than a thousand paintings in his lifetime, including images of Yellowstone, the Tetons, the Canadian Rockies, the New Mexican desert and California, where the versatile artist spent his last years painting marine subjects. According to biographical material from the David Cook Gallery in Denver, which carries his work, he came to Denver in 1876 with his mother and two sisters. It was hoped that the Colorado air would cure the sisters’ tuberculosis — a frequent reason for arrival in Colorado at that time, before drugs were available to cure the disease. He found a job with the Chain and Hardy Bookstore and received his only art training from the owner’s wife, artist Helen Chain, who introduced him to area artists, including Alexander Phiminster Proctor. He and Proctor went on a three-month camping trip, where both developed many sketches, transformed into paintings in the studio — they shared a studio for a short while, before Proctor moved to New York.

“After the Autumn Snows” by Charles Partridge Adams is exhibited at the Denver Art Museum. Courtesy photo Adams married in 1890 and opened a studio on Larimer Street in Denver. He did business card watercolors and crayon portraits and was a charter member of the Denver Artists Club. He constructed a home and studio for the couple in Estes Park in 1905, called “The Sketch Box,” where the family spent their summers — and Adams painted many of the Rocky Mountain National

Park and Longs Peak scenes. Adams sold paintings in stores in Denver, Colorado Springs, Kansas City, Pueblo and Chicago, and developed a wealthy clientele.

Miracle gets modern addition Winter Words Writing Workshop planned ‘Tepeyac’ back at Su Teatro By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com

New Year. New You.

Su Teatro has made it a holiday tradition to present Anthony J. Garcia’s folk drama “Miracle at Tepeyac” for his audiences — previously at St. Cajetan Church on the Auraria campus and this year at Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center (formerly the Denver Civic Theatre). It’s certainly of interest to any Colorado resident, including kids, to know more about folk traditions of the Hispanic population. This play tells the story of the Indio Juan Diego and his encounter with the Virgin of Guadalupe, who told him to have a church built to honor her and gave him roses in a cloth with her image to carry to the skeptical bishop as a sign of her presence. “It is a historic event that would define a people, a land and a culture as it redefined a people and their spirituality, and she would become a symbol of hope, a representation of the indigenous and of their land, the Americas, forever more,” said a release from Mica Garcia de Benevidez of Su Teatro.

IF YOU GO “The Miracle at Tepeyac” plays through Dec. 23 at Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center, 721 Santa Fe Drive, in Denver’s arts district. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $20/$17. 303296-0219, suteatro.org. Garcia has added a contemporary story about illegal immigrants who are hiding in the church to the traditional one. A group of young Guatemalans, looking for a better life, are using the church as a way station. Today’s story deals with cultural identity, immigration and AIDS. Throughout, the play shifts back and forth between the time of the miracle, the bishop’s resistance to believing the simple farmer and today’s church and its priests’ troubles dealing with his problems. The set is simple and a five-piece band plays a nice score written by Tony Silva. Singers and actors are a bit uneven in their performances, but the overall effect is a sincere retelling of a favorite legend. Dramatic impact is raised with performances by costumed Grupo Tlaloc dancers who enter with a blast on a conch shell at the beginning and repeat their performance at

Instructor Mary Young is noted nature writer By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Author/teacher Mary Taylor Young of Castle Rock has been publishing books about Western wildlife, nature and landscape since 1987 and sharing her skills with others since 1988. Her most recent of 14 books is “Guide to Colorado Mammals,” telling us about bats, bears, bighorn sheep and many more inhabitants that share the state — with species profiles, range maps, field notes and photographs. She is working on a book about Rocky Mountain National Park’s upcoming 100th anniversary, due in 2014. Next on her agenda will be the seventh Winter Words Writing Workshop, Feb. 2224 in Estes Park, which invites writers to gather in a beautiful place “to share meals, conversation and a love of writing.” Limited to 10 participants, it’s planned for those who write, or want to write, fic-

tion, memoir, creative or narrative nonfiction, nature writing and more. Participants will submit 15 pages of a work-in-progress by Feb. 1, and the group will analyze and consider it, in addition to soaking up a lecture on the craft of writYoung ing and enjoying some outdoor time if they wish. The atmosphere is friendly and keeping the group small allows for an in-depth look at each submission. Think instant critique group. Taylor’s love affair with Rocky Mountain Park had its start in summers spent there at her grandparent’s cabin. She roamed, encountered wildlife and plants and learned to record with camera and words. Writers will stay at McGregor Mountain Lodge, bordering Rocky Mountain Park. The workshop cost is $264 (Hotel is additional-contact the lodge.) For information and/or brochure, contact Young: MaryTaylorYoung.com, 303-660-4960. Taylor says the workshop will be held regardless of weather — unless the snowstorm of the millennium occurs.

Past is blast at Rocket Fizz Highlands Ranch candy store has infinite inventory By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Whatever happened to candy cigarettes, Necco wafers and Butter Rum Life Savers? What about whoopee cushions, potato guns and 3-D glasses? If you’re looking for any of those items, an old Jerry Garcia concert poster from 1967, an Incredible Hulk action figure or perhaps some hard-to-find international candy, Patrick Evans has just the place for you. New to Highlands Ranch in November, Evans has brought Rocket Fizz, a one-stopshop for what he calls “Crazy, whack-a-doo fun” to the suburbs. Started four and a half years ago in Southern California as a soda manufacturing company, Rocket Fizz opened its first pop and candy store in Camarillo, Calif., a few months later. There are now 30 franchised stores from Camarillo to Tennessee. Four of those stores are in Colorado, including Evans’ two shops, off 15th and Larimer in Denver and in the University Plaza in Highlands Ranch. Each store varies its inventory to cater to its clientele. Evans’ Denver store, for instance, is a bit more adult-themed, while the Highlands Ranch locale is heavy on the toys. When it comes to consistency, though, one is guaranteed to find plenty of options to satisfy a sweet tooth. There are 450 flavors of soda — 62 of which are original Rocket Fizz flavors (from Bacon to Jalapeno to Peanut Butter and Jelly) — around 2,000 types of candy, and hundreds of tins, concert posters, nostalgic gags and toys. “It’s a bit of a challenge getting all these items in here,” Evans admits, “but my in-

It’s a little extra work, but the goal is to give everybody what they love.” By that, Evans means, on the off chance you can’t find what you are looking for in his store, he’ll be more than happy to do his best to get it in. “As a corporate accountant, I said no to everybody all the time,” he said. “It feels so much better to say yes. So I say yes to candy bars, yes to private parties, yes to weddings, yes to gift baskets, yes to everything. If you want to rent out the store for the day or night, have a party and help yourself to the candy, we can do that. Come on in and eat what you want, it’ll be just like Willy Won-

Smashburger comes to Lone Tree Chain joins others in expanding gourmet market By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Smashburger’s salted caramel shake is, in Barbara Piper’s estimation, “to die for.” And the burgers? Jackie Jorgensen sums them up in a word: “Exceptional.” The two Lone Tree women were among dozens gathered at the new Lone Tree Smashburger Dec. 11 for its grand opening. The restaurant, in the former Chipotle site at County Line Road and South Willow Street, opened to the public Dec. 12. The Lone Tree site is the first of several Smashburgers opening in south metro Denver almost simultaneously; the next is in Highlands Ranch on Dec 21. “This is one of the areas we hadn’t saturated yet, but we knew there was a demand out here,” said Salvatore DiGiovanni, manager of the Lone Tree restaurant. The Denver-based company is not alone

in Lone Tree’s gourmet burger market. Five Guys Burgers and Fries opened in 2010 just east of the Super Target. Earlier this year, a locally owned restaurant called The Graze opened in the restaurant space in The Crest at Lone Tree apartments along Park Meadows Drive. While Smashburger prides itself on using never-frozen Angus beef, The Graze goes a few steps further. “The farm we get our beef from is owned by our owners,” chef and manager Ty Leon said. “All of our burgers come from their farm in Elizabeth.” And while hamburgers are Graze’s specialty, the menu also includes pizza, salads, burritos, desserts and other fare, 90 percent of it homemade, Leon said. The gourmet burger industry has been strong for about a decade. Some attribute its staying power to recent economic woes, and the public’s craving for quality meals without the steep price tag of fine dining. Burgers also fall under the category of “comfort food,” which people turn to in hard times.

ka’s playground. I’m serious.” And if you are curious about how something tastes? Evans is more than happy to make the executive decision to rip open a candy bar and share it with you. “The first one is always on the house,” he

said. “I’m pretty loosey-goosey.” Rocket Fizz is located at 9567 S. University Blvd. and is open at 9 a.m. daily, staying open until 9 p.m. on weekdays and 10 p.m. on weekends. For more information, call 303-346-4821 or visit www.rocketfizz.com.

Entertainment District vision unfolds

large paved parking lots discourage walking, critics have said, and the businesses are arranged so that some are tucked almost out of sight behind others. A recommended plaza and walkway would create a pedestrian link among those businesses north of Park Meadows Drive from Yosemite Street to the movie theater. “It should be a very pedestrian, warm, wonderful place to be,” Ward said, “a place you want to take your kids, a place where you want to have a drink before the movie.” Park Meadows Drive could be redesigned with bicycle lanes, broader sidewalks and traffic calming devices. A trail on the street’s south side that winds through a drainage also could be significantly enhanced to becomes its own draw and encourage more pedestrian access. But for any of it to happen, ULI said the city must take the lead and bring the district’s 40-plus property owners together. All of them, planners said, must buy into the vision to ensure its success. “It’s going to take a financial investment on behalf of everyone,” Ward said. City leaders now are considering their next step. “We have a lot to consider,” Councilmember Susan Squyer said. “I think we owe it to our citizens to make that a really attractive place.” Lone Tree paid ULI $20,000 for the study. ULI is an international nonprofit that brings together teams of experts to study and advise communities on responsible, sustainable land use.

Land planners call for walkways, financial buy-in By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com In land planners’ vision, the area now known as Lone Tree’s Entertainment District would boast a promenade-style walkway with fountains, play areas and greenery. The amenities would link businesses and tempt visitors into not just lingering, but making it a destination point. A redesigned Park Meadows Drive, the thoroughfare that serves it, likewise would prompt drivers to slow down, look around and pull into the area to explore all it has to offer. That’s the future that the planners outlined during Lone Tree City Council’s Dec. 3 meeting. The detailed presentation from the Urban Land Institute left council members and several business owners in attendance feeling optimistic. “We have good bones in the Entertainment District, and a great opportunity,” said Ken Marsh, owner of the Bridge Centers building that houses Panera Bread. “We’d like to do something that will lift the Entertainment District and lighten it up.” The commercial area southeast of Yosemite along Park Meadows Drive offers a

Arapahoe’s Mitch Albyn pulls up for a shot against the Eagles.

Four Arapahoe players score in double figures

Dakota Ridge forced up a 3-point attempt that fell short, and then turned the ball over to the Warriors. Thomas Trotman hit the second of two free throws that sealed Arapahoe’s 65-61 Class 5A nonleague victory Dec. 15 at Dakota Ridge High School. “(Davis) couldn’t miss,” said Arapahoe coach Dan Snyder, whose team improved to 5-0 on the season with the win. “It wasn’t like he was getting easy looks, either. We were contesting shots and I thought played him pretty well defensively … he was just lights out.” Davis scored 15 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter as the Eagles (4-3) nearly crawled all the way back from an 11-point deficit. A driving layup by Davis trimmed the Warriors’ lead to 62-61 with 37 seconds to play. Blake Nelson was fouled with 26 seconds to go and made one-of-two free throws. A turnover by Dakota Ridge for failing to inbound the ball within the five-second count gave the ball back to Arapahoe, and Mitch Albyn made a free throw to push the lead to three, and set the stage for the game’s final posses-

sion. “I think I can say know that we are a good team,” Snyder said. “We still have a lot to work on.” Of primary focus for Arapahoe is ball control. The Warriors had 16 turnovers against the Eagles. “We turned the ball over way too many times,” Snyder said. “Usually we’re really good with taking care of the ball, but we were very sloppy (Dec. 15). We have to clean that up.” A balanced scoring attack by Arapahoe helped balance out the turnovers. Four Warriors scored in double figures, led by Albyn, who scored 15. Trotman and Matt Glasscock each scored 14 and Nelson chipped in with 11 points. Arapahoe found it shooting stroke in the second and third quarters, as they knocked down seven 3-pointers and, after trailing by two after the first eight minutes of play, led by nine entering the fourth quarter. “We’ve got a lot of good shooters on the team,” Snyder said. “We usually play with more confidence when we are making our shots.”

Warriors hold off Eagles By Daniel P. Johnson

djohnson@ourcoloradonews.com LITTLETON - Dakota Ridge’s Elijah Davis simply couldn’t miss. It didn’t matter if an Arapahoe defender put a hand in his face or kept him from driving the lane, the 6-foot-2 senior wasn’t going to be denied. That is, until the end of the game. Down three and with the ball in their possession in the closing seconds, Dakota Ridge tried to get the ball to Davis - who led all scorers with 27 points - but the Warriors did a good job of taking the Eagles’ main scoring threat away.

Trip helps Ellis keep perspective on ice Defenseman has Mountain Vista off to quick start By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com LITTLETON - Michael Ellis has been playing hockey since he was 2-years-old. Last summer he learned what it’s like not to be able to drive to an ice rink. Ellis, a senior defenseman for the Mountain Vista hockey team, spent nearly three weeks in Africa last summer on a mission trip with Grace Chapel. “I didn’t get to play much hockey,” said Ellis. “I got to play some soccer. They worked us hard.” Ellis learned some lessons about life while on the trip to Africa. “It was way out of my league,” said Ellis. “It was a culture shock. I said, `whoa this is completely different. I learned a lot and hopefully got to help a lot, build some schools, a church, water wells and got to hang out with the people there and build relationships. “I kind of got out of the bubble, especially growing up in Highlands Ranch and living in one house and seeing nice cars everywhere and everybody having everything they need. I got there and they had nothing. Nothing here is completely different than nothing over there. That really opened by eyes.”

After his return to Colorado, Ellis played for the state champion Littleton Hawks prior to the high school hockey season and he changed positions from forward to defense. “This is my first season playing defense,” he said. “I’ve always played forward. I’m a little lost out there but they said I had the size (6-foot-2, 170 pounds), and the shot so I said that I would give it a shot. “I actually really like it. I like the flow. With only six defensemen, you get out there and you know what to expect. As a forward, it’s always hard into the corners and one guy high. Now when I get the puck I can see the whole ice. I can keep my head up and look in front of me.” Ellis showed moves like a forward in scoring the first goal in Mountain Vista’s 4-2 victory over Cherry Creek last Friday at South Suburban Arena. It was the first game of the season for Mountain Vista, a district team for Douglas County. “We started late so some of these kids could finish their club seasons,” Mountain Vista coach Lev Cohen said. “It means we could start a little slow but these kids have grown up together so a couple more practices and we should be a lot better.” Mountain Vista, which has four games scheduled this week, whipped Coronado 13-0 last Saturday. In two games, Ellis had two goals and three assists for five points. Brantt Heble and Connor Gerace also contributed five points in the opening two games. Tanner

Cherry Creek’s David Fessenden, No. 31, makes a stop Dec. 14. Photo by Courtney Kuhlen Gillis scored four goals for the Golden Eagles. Cherry Creek, also a district team, has resumed playing hockey after a 24-year hiatus and Bruins coach Dave Irish was impressed with the Golden Eagles. “They’re a good team,” Irish said.

Cherry Creek, 0-3-1 after last week, has been in every game and is working to develop the ability to close out games. Greg Turgeon and Matt Walters each had four points in the Bruins first four games while Dalton Walker was the team’s top goal scorer with three.

Sports roundup: Del Rio headed to Alabama Valor QB switches from Oklahoma State; will walk on with the Crimson Tide By Daniel P. Johnson

The senior, who threw for 2,275 yards with 28 touchdowns and just four interceptions in leading the Eagles to the Class 5A state championship, has decided to pass on offers from several schools, including Oregon State, and will walk-on at the University of Alabama. Del Rio’s sister, Lauren, currently attends Alabama.
