Town pursues pot-shop ban

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Diane Meeks hoped for years to teach at Cherry Valley Elementary. Now that she’s there, she never wants to leave.

“This is the last place I hope to be,” said Meeks, who teaches first and second grade at Douglas County’s smallest and most rural elementary school. “It’s really, really special.”

The K-6 school on the plains of southeastern Douglas County has just 50 students, many of them from working ranches and a few the youngest among generations of families who have attended Cherry Valley. Five full-time staff members work there, with teachers each instructing two grade levels instead of one.

“Teachers don’t work with (just) kids,” Principal Mark Harrell said. “Teachers work with families.”

It’s small enough that the Valentine’s Day celebration Meeks is coordinating is an allinclusive event. Each student will draw the name of another, and make him or her a Valentine’s Day lunch. A sixth-grader may make lunch for a first-grader, or vice versa, but all will know well the student with whom they’re paired.

“That warm, purposeful feel of community — that’s something we take great pride

Castle Rock town councilmembers grudgingly complied with Amendment 64, in a housekeeping measure designed to avoid legal conflict.

Town council on Feb. 5 revised the Castle Rock municipal code to bring the code into compliance with Amendment 64, which allows personal possession of up to an ounce of marijuana for people 21 and older.

Before council’s revision, the town’s ordinance made simple possession a crime and conflicted with the Colorado constitutional amendment passed by voters in November.

Town Attorney Bob Slentz advised councilmembers to bring the municipal code into compliance with state laws to avoid a potential legal landmine among local agencies.

The amendment to town code recognized that simple possession is permitted and will not result in legal action against anyone of legal age.

The age restriction was a pivotal point in the legislation, Slentz said.

“If you are under 21, Amendment 64 did nothing for you,” he said. “There is no privilege or relief from criminal law if you are under 21.”

Not only your name, but those of your immediate family, and likely those of your grandparents, cousins and pets.

Fifth-grader Charlie Anderson is the fourth generation of his family to either attend school or teach at Cherry Valley. His great-great-aunt Florence Anderson taught there from 1954 to 1986. His grandfather, father and older sister were students.

“It’s a good little school,” said his father, rancher Harold Anderson. “It lined up with what I wanted for my children. Out here,

you’ve got cattle across the fence from the playground. In an urban school, you’ve got a lot of sirens.”

The school’s nine kindergartners are taught in the one-room schoolhouse built in the late 1800s and moved there in 1952.

It’s among three buildings now used for classes, one a modular that includes several classrooms and a computer lab filled with glossy, white Mac desktops and a cart that holds 18 iPads.

On the same evening Castle Rock councilmembers legalized personal marijuana possession in the town code, they took the first step to ban pot shops.

Town council on Feb. 5 unanimously passed the first reading of an ordinance to ban commercial marijuana operations in town limits. Amendment 64 gave municipalities the option to prohibit commercial cultivation, manufacturing, testing and retail marijuana stores.

The prohibition has been on council’s radar since shortly after Colorado voters approved the constitutional amendment to legalize personal possession of up to an Ban continues on Page 6

Magical night for fire victims Theatre of Dreams fundraiser aids business operators

By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com When Joe and Carol Givan named the fundraiser for victims of a downtown fire the “Anything Goes” Talent Show, they weren’t kidding.

The show Feb. 7 at the Theatre of Dreams drew a clearinghouse of talent for the standing-roomonly crowd, with acts from across the Front Range.

Amateur performers shared the stage with future stars, including the night’s winner, an 11-yearold graduate of the theater’s magic camp for area youth.

A.J. Perea of Lone Tree won first place with a “rip and restore” newspaper magic trick delivered with deadpan perfection.

Perea faced off against an Elvis impersonator from Colorado Springs, Fort Collins magician Tim Pendergast, music from several Castle Rock performers and a stand-up comedian whose act was her inaugural stage performance.

They were among the 16 acts that signed up for the talent show, launched as a fundraiser for victims of a Jan. 4 fire that displaced six downtown businesses.

The Givans hosted the event with the help of the downtown merchants association, raising nearly $2,400 for merchants who could be waiting as long as six months to return to their storefronts.

“We initially thought we would

do a (magic) show but decided a talent show would be much more fun,” Carol Massie Givan said. “We knew we could get a lot of great talent.”

The recipients of the event were overwhelmed by the community support in the weeks following the fire, including K.C. and Mark Neel, owners of the Castle Rock Bike & Ski Shop, where the fire started.

“This is another example of what makes Castle Rock special,” K.C. Neel said.

Niki Katzenmeier and Jessica Bejot, owners of prenatal care center Birth Rocks, had been open for about three months when the fire hit.

The pair is seeking temporary digs for their classes, events and support groups for new and expecting moms.

Udall announces academy nominations Six Douglas, Elbert students make elite list Staff report U.S. Sen. Mark Udall announced his nomination of 48 Colorado students for appointment to four of the U.S. service academies.

The students were selected from among 410 applications for nominations and included six students from Douglas and Elbert counties.

The nominations were reviewed by Udall’s merit selection committee and applicants were evaluated based on academic aptitude, leadership potential, determination and overall character.

Of the 410 applications, 200 stu-

dents were selected for interviews.

Nominated students will now compete with others from around the country for appointments to the Air Force Academy, Naval Academy, Merchant Marine Academy and Military Academy.

“One of my favorite opportunities is to nominate highly qualified, bright Udall young people to attend our military service academies,” Udall said. “Throughout American history, these academies have produced some of our finest military and civilian leaders.

“I’m hopeful that many of my nom-

inees will receive appointments to the U.S. service academies,” Udall added.

“I’m confident that these young men and women will ably and proudly serve our country.”

Udall’s list of nominees included the following students from Douglas and Elbert counties: United States Air Force Academy: Hannah Murphy, Parker; Christopher Reed, Castle Rock; Timothy Shutack, Parker.

United States Military Academy: Nicholas Bailey, Parker; Timothy Shutack, Parker; Tanner Thompson, Elizabeth.

United States Naval Academy: Hannah Murphy, Parker.

C-470 Coalition steers toward tolls

Committee’s unanimous vote help narrows expansion focus

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Like traffic at the end of rush hour, the future of C-470 appears to be clearing up.

On Feb. 7, the C-470 Corridor Coalition Steering Committee — made up of representatives from Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties as well as the Highlands Ranch Metro District and cities of Littleton, Lone Tree and Centennial — voted 7-0 to toll any new lanes along the 13-mile stretch between Interstate 25 and Kipling Street.

The coalition has been studying different options to finance the addition of one or two lanes in each direction since 2011 and began a heavy dose of public outreach last summer. Other options included the implementation of sales or property tax increases within a to-be-determined taxing district as well as tolling all the lanes.

“The public was divided on tolling (the new lanes) and sales tax,” said Roger Sherman, chief operating officer with consulting firm CRL Associates, in reference to a recent survey done by Hill Research Consultants.

“What’s interesting is when you start to go head to head and weigh each potential funding option separately.”

The public opinion poll, which was sent out near the end of 2012 to a random sampling of citizens in areas of impact in Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties, made two things clear — citizens were not in favor of property tax or tolling all lanes.

“Our citizens have been very clear that in no way will they support a toll on the existing lanes,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jack Hilbert, chair of the C-470 coalition, before adding that “property tax is a four-letter word in Douglas County.”

When it came to the possibility of raising sales tax, steering committee members were not shy about voicing their concerns.

There was also a consensus that there was not enough support to pass a sales tax once a district was drawn.

“It becomes very difficult to say `let’s tax this group of people and not others,’” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning. “Lone Tree

C-470 CORRIDOR COALITION STEERING COMMITTEE Jack Hilbert, Chair, Douglas County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe, Arapahoe County Commissioner Don Rosier, Jefferson County Commissioner Jim Gunning, Lone Tree Mayor Cathy Noon, Centennial Mayor Jim Taylor, Littleton City Councilman Allen Dreher, Highlands Ranch Metro District Board Member is really a retail hub. Many people come to shop there. I think we see it as a competitive issue having a retail tax here that we (wouldn’t) have in other locations, just outside the boundary.”

Another issue with sales tax, Hilbert said, is that it would take an additional two to three years to get the expansion started, something that could happen in early 2014.

“There are still questions that have to be answered, issues that need to be discussed,” Hilbert said. “The next question is one or two lanes (in each direction) and that has not been finalized yet. But I think it’s good that we can begin to move forward now.”

The difference in cost is estimated to be $230 million for one lane in each direction and $350 million for two lanes. The fees for express lanes are expected to cost somewhere between 30 and 40 cents per mile.

Hilbert made it clear that once all the analysis is done, any of the steering committee members may withdraw their support if the analysis does not support their decision. One of the concerns, as voiced recently by Highlands Ranch Metro District Board Member Nancy Smith, has been who would be responsible for paying for the project if the tolls collected do not cover construction costs.

Whether CDOT would help with those costs or not is unknown at this time, but CDOT Commissioner Edward Peterson suggested that he was hopeful the department would able to “provide substantial amounts of assistance” toward the project.

The coalition will meet next at 10 a.m.

March 7 at the Highlands Ranch Mansion, 9900 Ranch Road, to discuss the timeline for the process and begin making plans for an environmental study.

Free screenings offered for women Tri-County Health checks for cancer, other disorders Staff report Tri-County Health Department’s Peak Wellness program provides low-income, uninsured and under-insured women with free screenings and referrals. The program is an effort to prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

The Peak Wellness program is open to women between the ages of 40 and 64 who: meet income guidelines; are legal U.S. residents living in Adams, Arapahoe or Douglas counties; do not have health insurance, are unable to afford their deductible for insurance or do not have insurance that covers a Pap test or mammogram; and have not had a Pap test or mammogram in the past 12 months.

The free visit to a Peak Wellness clinic includes blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and body mass index tests to screen for heart disease and diabetes. Clients also receive a clinical breast exam and a Pap test

to screen for cervical cancer. Clients can schedule a free mammogram and speak one-on-one with a registered nurse and a registered dietitian.

The program is intended to reduce the incidence of illness and death through early detection and treatment of diseases and to encourage people to make healthy lifestyle choices.

“We’re encouraging people to take advantage of our free screenings. With early detection of a potentially life-threatening illness, a client can seek treatment or make lifestyle changes and ultimately be healthy for herself and her family,” said Dr. Richard L. Vogt, executive director. “If heart problems or cancer are detected, we also provide referrals to free or discounted medical services, so that people can receive the follow-up treatments they need.”

The average clinic visit is 90 minutes.

Peak Wellness program locations are in Aurora, Castle Rock, Englewood and Northglenn. For more information or to make an appointment, call 303-363-3018 or visit their website at www.tchd.org/peakwellness.htm.

Gov. John Hickenlooper and other Democratic state leaders on Feb. 6 announced a series of reforms to the state’s child welfare system, which are in part aimed at preventing child abuse before it happens.

The proposals include the setup of a statewide child abuse reporting hotline, more training for child welfare caseworkers, and other efforts Report designed to protect children.

“We want to make sure we keep our kids healthy and safe, and make sure we stabilize families,” Hickenlooper said at a Capitol press conference.

The reforms, which have been dubbed “Keeping Kids Safe and Families Healthy 2.0,” is a follow-up effort to changes to the child welfare system that Hickenlooper announced about a year ago.

The hotline streamlines the current reporting system, one where all 64 Colorado

Capitol

counties have their own child abuse hotlines.

Hotline workers, along with child caseworkers, also will receive more training to help them investigate abuse cases.

The plan also allows families involved in child welfare referrals, ones that may not rise to the level of abuse or neglect cases, to receive services and support aimed at preventing abuse.

The govenor’s plan also calls for greater transparency, through the development of a website where the public can keep tabs on efforts taking place inside the child welfare system.

And the plan calls for modern technology, such as the use of smart phones and tablets to help caseworkers with their workloads.

Hickenlooper will seek funding for his proposals by asking the Legislature to set aside $22 million in next year’s budget.

The governor also said that Colorado will receive $8 million in federal funds in each of the next five years, which will also go toward funding reforms.

The governor was joined at the press conference by legislators who will be involved in drafting the bills.

“We may not be able to prevent every child death by abuse, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try,” said state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk.

Healthy living took a front seat at the Douglas County Events Center when the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce launched the second Healthy Living Expo with a 5K run.

The day started early Feb. 9 for nearly 300 runners and walkers who participated in the Freeze Your Buns Off 5K run, which wasn’t nearly as freezing as most expected.

Whether they participated in the race or stopped for a visit, residents from Castle Rock and throughout Douglas County had more than enough to choose from at the event.

Nearly 100 local businesses were represented at the expo, offering services from fitness clinics, food supplements and aesthetic living to area healthcare, hospital and in-home caretaking.

Craig and Jennifer Kin-

Benefits of schools’ credit rating debated Board cites taxpayer payoffs, others say students pay a price

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County School Board President John Carson defended the district’s financial reserves during the board’s Feb. 5 meeting, saying the fund ensures a credit rating that saves taxpayers money.

“We as a board have set a 4 percent reserve,” he said. “Some people think that’s too high. I think in the economy and budget we’re in, with fluctuations in revenue, it’s the prudent thing to do. Not only prudent for the long-term planning and welfare of our district, but it obviously pays huge financial dividends back to the school district and taxpayers of Douglas County.”

The comments stem from a recent bond refinancing that will save property owners about $3 a year for the next 17 years, and an

assertion from a parent-led group that the fund balance is unnecessarily high.

“The cost of what it’s taking away from the education system far exceeds the benefits,” said Susan Meek, vice president of Strong Schools Coalition.

An underwriter praised the school board during its meeting for conservative financial policies that help feed an AA+ credit rating, one that ranks DCSD third among the state’s 178 school districts.

“There were some impressive results here,” he told the board.

Fitch Ratings reviewed the district’s financials for a recently completed bond refinancing that dropped the interest rate from 5 percent to 2.99 percent. That paired with another refinancing in late 2012 will save taxpayers about $5 million, he said.

The county has about 110,000 taxable parcels, according to the assessor’s office, for an annual savings of about $3 on each Douglas County property.

“It’s great to have low rates,” said Laura Mutton, president of Strong Schools. “But if you’re hoarding money in order to have a high bond rating and you’re only saving tax-

‘The cost of what it’s taking away from the education system far exceeds the benefits.’

Susan Meek payers $3 a year, there’s a tradeoff there. It doesn’t count for a lot at a time when you’re having serious budget cuts.”

For the first time in five years, the district plans no cuts in the coming academic year.

Last year, it met an $18 million shortfall with money found in over-budgeted line items, as well as cuts to central administration and the high schools.

DCSD has an unrestricted fund balance of $86.7 million. The unrestricted funds are those limited for use by statutory requirements. Its unassigned fund balance — money the district has not earmarked for specific uses — is $18.1 million.

Meek, former DCSD spokeswoman, said the district has maintained a high credit

rating for many years and through large fluctuations in the general fund balance.

DCSD has had an AA rating for several years running, and was assigned the AA+ in 2010.

Spokeswoman Cinamon Watson said the district “takes every opportunity to do everything we can to be good stewards of the taxpayer dollars. We’re using it wisely, and producing a great product.”

Meek and Mutton formed the now 600-member group to “inform, engage and positively impact the public schools in Douglas County,” according to Strong School’s website. They’ve criticized the district’s fund balance, budgeting and time the board spends in executive sessions.

Deputy suspected of Civil unions bill gains Senate approval sexting juvenile arrested Only one Republican Texts sent while off duty; suspect fired

By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews. com A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputy suspected of sexting a juvenile was arrested after sheriff’s investigators received a tip.

Robert M. French lost his job with the sheriff’s office

by Feb. 11, within days of his arrest. He did not work as a school resource officer and was terminated for department policy violations and alleged criminal conduct, said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, public information officer.

The investigation began early in the week of Feb. 3, when the sheriff’s office received a tip about inappropriate text messages involving a juvenile, Hanavan reported in a Feb. 9 news release.

The investigation led to French, who allegedly sent the text messages while off duty, according to Hanavan.

The sheriff’s office worked the case with the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and the Rocky Mountain Com-

puter Forensics Lab. By Feb. 8, French was taken into custody and charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a child.

French was booked at the Douglas County detention facility but was taken to the Arapahoe County jail, where he remained on a courtesy hold until posting $50,000 bond, Hanavan said.

Douglas County officials opted to send French to the Arapahoe County facility in the interest of security and personnel issues.

“It’s a little less uncomfortable for all employees that know (French),” Hanavan said.

“And it’s a security issue because if you work in this building, you’re familiar with the building.”

French was released following an internal affairs investigation that was conducted in tandem with the criminal investigation.

“This is a very complex case. It is anticipated to be lengthy and there may be additional arrests,” Hanavan said in the initial press release.

The case remains an active investigation and Douglas County District Court issued a motion to seal the case to limit pre-trial publicity.

legislator votes in favor of measure

Capitol Report

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Same-sex couples in Colorado are one step closer to the realization of civil unions following the passage of a bill in the state Senate on Feb. 11.

Senate Bill 11 — which would allow gay couples to enter into commitments similar to marriage — passed the General Assembly’s upper chamber with unanimous support from Democrats, but with only one Republican voting to move the bill forward.

There was no debate on the bill before final passage. The Feb. 11 vote became a foregone conclusion after the Senate provided preliminary passage three days earlier, following a session in which several lawmakers gave passionate — and often personal — speeches, both in support and opposition of civil unions.

Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, an openly gay lawmaker and bill sponsor, gave an emotional speech on Feb. 8.

“This is a moment that we have waited for,” he said. “If two people are lucky enough to have found one another, why should the State of Colorado stand in their way?”

Steadman’s longtime partner, Dave Misner, died of pancreatic cancer last year. Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, choked back tears as she spoke in support of Steadman’s bill, referring to Misner’s death, as well as her brother’s struggles with coming out of the closet.

“This vote is for my brother Bill, and my friend Dave,” Newell said.

Republicans unsuccessfully offered amendments to the bill, including one from Sen. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs that would have exempted practically any person or entity that objected to civil unions from providing services for those couples.

But Steadman said that such an amendment would fly in the face of non-discrimination laws. Steadman also implored those who hold strong religious beliefs, “Don’t let your free exercise run my life.”

“Get thee to a nunnery,” he told those seeking religious exemptions to his bill.

“Go live a monastic life. Colleagues, this is not Mt. Sinai. This is the Colorado Senate.”

Republicans also failed in their attempts to put civil unions on the ballot, rather than leave the issue

up to lawmakers. In 2006, Colorado voters rejected a referendum that sought benefits for same-sex partners that were similar to civil unions.

“The overriding feeling that comes to mind for me.... disappointment,” said Sen. Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City. “I’m disappointed that the people of this great state cannot be trusted with a second chance at the ballot box.”

Sen. Ellen Roberts of Durango was the lone Republican to vote for the bill.

“I believe this bill supports family values,” Roberts said.

Roberts also said that it’s important to note that her gay Senate colleagues are about more than just fighting for gay-rights issues.

“This issue is only one dimension of a homosexual person’s identity,” she said.

“I prefer to look at them much more as multidimensional persons.”

Along with Roberts, all 20 Senate Democrats voted in favor of the bill on Feb. 11. Fourteen Republicans voted no.

The bill now heads to the House of Representatives, where it died last year.

This is the third consecutive year that legislators have taken up civil unions, but it is expected to pass the Democratic-controlled House, and then be signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper this time around.

“Well, third time’s a charm, isn’t it?” Steadman said.

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Andrew Romanoff, former Speaker of the Colorado House, has announced he will run in 2014 against three-term U.S. Congressman Mike Coffman, R-Aurora.

“You mean you’re not thinking about the 2014 election already?” joked Romanoff, who served in the state House from 200008 and as Speaker from 2005-08.

The Democrat, who moved to Aurora at the beginning of the year, said he was declaring early because he hopes to meet as many people in the 6th Congressional District as possible in the next 21 months.

“I ran for the state House four times and got elected four times by going out and meeting my neighbors and finding out

Congress.

“When I served in the state House I brought Republicans and Democrats together to solve some pretty tough problems. The approval rating is lower than it has ever been in Washington, D.C., and I think it was Sen. (John) McCain who said it best and that was that (those that approve of Congress is) `down to paid staff and blood relatives,’ and we can do better than that.

“Every big problem that this country faces depends on our ability to work across the political aisle. I did that for eight years and I will do that for two more if I’m elected.”

The former teacher, who holds degrees from Yale, Harvard and the University of Denver, already received an endorsement from state Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton.

“This will be one the most targeted, highly contested congressional races in the country next year,” Newell said in a written statement on Feb. 8. “I would be proud to call Andrew Romanoff my congressman and will do everything in my power to help him before and after the election.”

Coffman, who defeated Aurora Democrat Joe Miklosi by two points in November, issued his own statement last week.

“We just had an election, and voters elected me to be their representative, not a full-time candidate,” Coffman said. “Right now, I’m focused on working across the aisle for policies to help Colorado’s working families and small business owners succeed.”

In recent weeks Coffman appears to have softened his longtime anti-immigration stance.

He introduced the Military Enlistment Opportunity Act — which provides a naturalized citizenship path for immigrants who enlist — on Jan. 29 and has since spoken publically in favor of a citizenship path for the children of illegal immigrants.

Coffman, a 21-year military veteran, told Colorado Community Media in January that he intends to focus much of his efforts over the next two years on veterans issues.

He also spoke in favor of an assault weapons ban, but wants to see it done at the state level, not the federal level.

CASTLE ROCK’S PRIMARY MARIJUANA OFFENDERS

Castle Rock in 2012 for marijuana offenses, 63 percent were issued to people younger than 21. Castle Rock mimicked the language from the state amendment in its revision to allow adults to possess up to an ounce of marijuana and cultivate, process or transport up to six plants, Slentz said.

The amendment removes the conflict for local law enforcement agents obligated to honor the provisions of the Colorado Constitution, he said.

“This (amendment to the ordinance) will avoid putting our police department in the tough position of honoring the state constitution as well as serving your agency,” Slentz said. “(The conflict) also forces lawabiding citizens to make a choice whether to avail themselves of the

While the town of Castle Rock voted to remand its municipal code to uphold the provisions of Amendment 64, possession and use of marijuana by people younger than 21 remains a crime on every level, said Town Attorney Bob Slentz.

Slentz provided councilmembers a historical glimpse of the municipal citations issued by Castle Rock police over the last six years, showing a trend of marijuana offenses among the town’s youth.

Municipal Court marijuana citations: 2006 — 45 total citations issued; 22 to people younger than 21, including 12 juvenile citations.

2007 — 80 citations; 42 younger than 21, 17 juveniles.

2008 — 83 citations; 48 younger than 21, 29 juveniles.

2009 — 92 citations; 58 younger than 21, 30 juveniles.

2010 — 102 citations; 74 younger than 21, 39 juveniles.

2011 — 108 citations; 76 younger than 21, 44 juveniles.

2012 — 76 citations; 48 younger than 21, 32 juveniles.

Amendment 64 right or comply with a code that prohibits it.”

Although Coloradans approved Amendment 64 in a 55 percent to 45 percent vote, Castle Rock’s voters opposed the measure with 52.5 percent of the vote. Councilmembers followed their approval of the ordinance to legalize personal possession with first reading of a sec-

ond ordinance to ban commercial marijuana operations in town limits.

“Whether we agree with it or not, we need to move forward as best we can,” said Mayor Paul Donahue, District 1.

“This is the first step to bring our code into compliance with Amendment 64.”

ounce of marijuana.

The local control option built into Amendment 64 gives local governments leverage on commercial marijuana ventures but has no impact on personal use, said Bob Slentz, town attorney.

The town ordinance gives future councils the option to revisit the topic in later years, depending on the outcome of any revisions to state or federal legislation, Slentz said.

“By prohibiting all operations now you get in front of them,” Slentz said. “However, if over the course of the next couple of years a future council wants to reconsider one or more of these uses, that option is open.

“Based on all that, you have a bulletproof prohibition until

this or future council changes perspective. There is nothing but an upside at this point to establish a prohibition.”

The ban ordinance was broadly written to include the town’s zoning code, with bans against commercial marijuana facilities in every zoned district, Slentz said.

Councilmembers who wondered if the ban was enforceable got confirmation from Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley.

“If you move forward (with a ban) we would be able to enforce that and ensure retail establishments weren’t established in town,” Cauley said.

“We would take appropriate action.”

The second and final reading of the commercial marijuana ban will be 6 p.m. Feb. 19 at town hall, 100 N. Wilcox Street.

Dems roll out gun-control package Opponents see liability measure as ban

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 are 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, sell-

Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, talks in the west foyer of the state Capitol during a press conference on a comprehensive gun safety plan Feb. 5. Photo by Andy Carpenean ers 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 associated with an assault weapon 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

NRA president says liability plan ‘foolish’ Democratic Senate leader not backing down

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The president of the National Rifle Association on Feb. 7 said it would be “foolish” for Colorado state lawmakers to push for legislation aimed at making assault-weapons manufacturers, sellers and owners liable for crimes that are committed with those firearms.

But the legislator who is pushing for that kind of law, Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, said he still plans on crafting a type of bill aimed at holding those associated with “killing machines” responsible for the damage they are capable of inflicting.

Morse was one of a handful of top local lawmakers whom NRA President David Keene met with during his Feb. 7 visit to Colorado.

Keene’s Colorado trip came two days after Democratic legislators unveiled eight gun-control bills aimed at curbing firearms-related violence. Four of those bills were introduced in the House of Representatives the day of Keene’s visit.

Keene, speaking with reporters in the Capitol following his meeting with Morse, said he told Democratic lawmakers that he intended on finding common ground on issues such as gun background checks and making sure guns don’t get in the hands of criminals or those with mental health issues.

But Keene made it clear that he would not support any effort to hold gun makers and sellers liable for damages caused by assault weapons, saying that federal law shields those groups from any civil liability.

Keene said that any attempt at that type of legislation would be nothing more than a

“feel-good” measure.

“You cannot sue them because someone uses their perfectly legal product and misuses it,” Keene said.

Keene also told Colorado Community Media in a private conversation that the NRA is not concerned about the politics of the gun debate, in spite of some polling evidence that shows the public supporting at least some types of gun-control efforts, in the wake of recent mass shootings around the country.

“We are not going to compromise the Second Amendment rights of our citizens to do things that don’t work,” he said.

Morse, who announced his plans to pursue the Assault Weapon Responsibility Act during a Democratic-led press conference at the Capitol Feb. 5, said he is still working on how his legislation will be crafted. The former police officer said he is aware of federal laws that protect the gun industry from liability and that, if it turns out he cannot target makers and sellers of military-type assault weapons, he could envision legislation intended to at least hold owners and possessors of assault weapons liable.

Morse lamented the “amazing protection that the gun makers get,” but said he does hope the NRA is serious about finding common ground.

“I don’t know if at the end of the day they are going to support any (part of the Democratic gun package), but I know the people of Colorado support all of it.”

Keene also met with Gov. John Hickenlooper, who supports some Democratic gun control efforts, but has not yet endorsed Morse’s proposal.

Hickenlooper did not address the media, but his office issued a statement after his meeting with Keene, saying that, “While we might not agree on a number of things, there will certainly be places where we can find common ground.”

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 prover-

bial 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!”

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

On C-470, toll lanes best way to go The group tasked with devising a plan to improve C-470 made the right call last week when it decided to pursue the construction of new lanes that would come with a toll. It’s not a solution everyone will embrace, but when looking at how to arrive at a more-motorist-friendly highway, the truth is, there is no perfect path.

It’s going to take money. It’s going to take time. And while the work is being done, it’s going to be inconvenient.

So why do anything?

Clearly, the Denver metro area is growing and much of that growth is taking place near C-470, which snakes from I-25 to I-70.

The population along the 27-mile corridor is expected, by some estimates, to swell by more than 30 percent over the next 20 years.

Already, some stretches of the highway see more than 100,000 vehicles a day. During morning and afternoon rush hours, the road is plenty congested now. Throw in thousands of extra vehicles per day, and the future of the road as a preferred, or even viable, route doesn’t look bright.

That’s not acceptable for a corridor that includes areas like northern Douglas County,

OUR VIEW which is quickly becoming a magnet for businesses to open and relocate.

So when the C-470 Corridor Coalition took up the task of brainstorming improvements in 2011, it was an important step.

The coalition’s decision-making committee is made up of representatives from Littleton, Centennial, Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch and from Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties.

The group’s focus, for now, is on the 13mile stretch from I-25 to Kipling, identified as the swath most in need of immediate assistance.

After months of doing research, reaching out to communities and polling residents, the coalition was left with three logical choices: toll only new lanes, toll all lanes or try to raise taxes (sales or property).

To be sure, the Feb. 7 decision to move

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Will no mail on Saturday impact you?

We went to several locations in Englewood and Littleton to hear how people felt about

the U.S. Postal Service’s decision to cease Saturday mail delivery starting in August.

“Honestly, if it helps the government save some money, I guess I’m for it. We do get checks and other items in the mail on Saturday and I mail out items on Saturday but, if it helps the government, it’s fine with me.”

— Brian Hart, south Denver

“I haven’t given it a lot of thought but I think it is a shame they’ll stop Saturday delivery. Right now, Saturday delivery has slowed down.

But that governmental agency needs to do something to save money because a lot of money is being wasted.”

— Keith Carson, Englewood

“I think any way the Postal Service can avoid bankruptcy should be considered. Stopping Saturday delivery won’t have a big impact on me personally because getting mail five days a week is fine.”

— Jude Thomas, Littleton

“I’m not sure how I feel about the decision. It won’t have a big impact on me personally.

I don’t get a lot of mail on Saturday but I will miss it when it doesn’t come.”

— Maria Powell, Englewood

forward on the plan for a minimum of one new express toll lane in each direction was neither hasty, nor uninformed.

Tolling all lanes was the least-popular option in public polling and was rightfully dismissed. An all-toll highway might have backfired by keeping too many motorists away and costing municipalities more headache, gridlock and construction costs through the wearing down of local arterial roads.

A property-tax increase surely would have been voted down, but there was some support in citizen polls for a sales-tax hike.

We agree, however, with local officials who said such a measure could be unfair to communities located in the new taxing district.

“I think we see it as a competitive issue having a retail tax here that we (wouldn’t) have in other locations, just outside the boundary,” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning, whose city is home to the popular Park Meadows mall.

Imposing a toll only on new lanes makes the most sense, and as it would not require an election like the taxing options, would be the quickest to implement. It’s

Being down can lead to looking up One of the most popular activities I get to do with my team at work or with groups that I am involved with happens on Fridays. I typically send an encouraging email filled with positive updates, recognition of achievement, and gratitude for the effort put forth by everyone.

And then I ask for feedback, I ask for the best news of the week or most positive or productive good news that they can share. Everyone responds and shares a moment or experience that truly made the week positive. The interesting thing is this: People may have been having a very tough week but they always find something positive to share. Life may have presented some significant challenges personally and/or professionally, but somehow they dig in and look for something good to share with the team or group.

So imagine your own life right now, and imagine for a moment it is Friday and I have asked you for the best news of the week. What would your answer be?

Now I have done this for several years and with many people. The majority of people can come up with something meaningful and positive in a fairly short amount of time. But those who are having a tough week find themselves going deeper. And I have to share with you that the responses that come from someone who has been struggling are usually more positive than the replies that come from people who have been having a relatively good week.

Here is something else I have noticed.

People now expect the question, and so

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Guns in schools a bad idea

As we struggle for answers to the Newtown shooting and gird for a new round of Sane People vs. the NRA over gun control, it was disturbing to read of more local gun madness. In the Jan. 17 paper, I read of the Douglas County School District considering armed marshals in our schools, while our local state Sen. Ted Harvey introduced a bill to allow those with concealed weapons permits to bring their deadly toys onto school grounds.

While Harvey’s bill has failed in the Legislature, the very idea that we’d heed the lunatic words of the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre and populate our schools with “good guys with guns” is beyond the pale. I for one don’t want my fifth-grader attending school where random people with concealed weapons and/or an armed mall cop

are strutting their hardware. Statistically, we know that guns held in self-defense in the hands of the un- or lightly trained are more likely to harm innocents (or themselves) than attackers. And when the cops finally show up, will they mistake the guard for one of the bad guys?

Like most Americans at this point in history, I have no idea what really prompts these terrible acts or what would be most effective at stopping or reducing them. But common sense suggests adding fuel to the fire in the form of more guns is a terrible idea.

In a country bristling with half of all the guns on Earth, reducing that number would seem to be the logical first order of business.

Alex Miller Highlands Ranch

also the most fair: It would be a motorist’s decision to use the new lanes and thus pay the fee. We venture to guess many would pony up to zip along at a quicker, lessencumbered pace.

As mentioned, the plan, which carries a tentative price tag between $230 million and $350 million, isn’t perfect. The coalition acknowledges there may be a need to find additional funding sources if revenue from the toll lanes doesn’t fully pay for the project. It’s not an insignificant risk, but it is one worth taking, given the potential reward.

The group plans to take some time to refine the conceptual design and cost estimates and there are environmental, traffic and revenue studies that must be done before anything is final.

Even if everything goes as planned, it could be up to two years before construction begins. And that doesn’t cover the second-phase, from Kipling to I-70, which a different set of officials will get to work on shortly.

So while we’re not there yet, at least we’re not stuck in rush-hour traffic, wishing for a magical way out.

Military service as a path to citizenship Bill’s progress a small 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 nativeborn Americans can’t meet the

standards for military service because of some 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

Honored to Serve Castle Rock Families in a Time of Need

individuals should have the chance 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 grant of immediate naturalization is subject to rescission if the individual does not complete the service requirements or is discharged under less-thanhonorable 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 country in the military and earn U.S. citizenship. Moreover, this bill will aid our military by providing a larger number of skilled recruits to ensure our national defense capabilities are not diminished by a shrinking recruiting base.

It should be an easy decision for my colleagues in Congress on the left and the right to support the Military Enlistment Opportunity Act. I am hopeful we can solve these problems together.

victory for small business Small business in Colorado saw a small victory last week in the advancement of my Senate Bill 30, which passed out of the State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on a unanimous 5-0 vote.

The bill adds an additional level of legislative review for new rules and regulations promulgated by state agencies.

Business compliance costs for state agency rules and regulations are a major impediment to business expansion and job creation. The U.S. Small Business Administration in 2010 estimated that federal rules add $1.75 trillion annually to business operating costs — and that does not count the costs of state-imposed rules.

By law, new rules published each year to implement the laws enacted by the legislature are only temporary — they expire on May 15 unless approved by lawmakers through the annual omnibus rule review bill. The problem is that over the years, the rule review bill has become a virtual rubber stamp and only rarely is any agency rule given the careful scrutiny it deserves.

My bill adds two new requirements to the annual rule review process. First, when a rulemaking agency does a cost-benefit analysis on a proposed rule, it must be published on the agency’s website.

Second, the past sponsors of the original legislation that gave rise to the regulation will be notified of the new rule along with all the members of the legislative committee that has oversight jurisdiction over the agency.

The bill is a small but important step toward more meaningful oversight of agency rulemaking.

If there is a serious concern about the impact of a new rule on small

business or a particular industry sector, a member of the committee of reference — for example, the Business, Labor and Technology Committee or the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee — can ask for a hearing on the agency rule. If the arguments are persuasive enough, the rule can be blocked by amendment to the rule review bill. That possibility is not guaranteed but is at least enhanced by these added notifications.

A deeper problem is the weakness in current statutes of the requirement that agencies perform a cost-benefit analysis of proposed rules. A 2003 law mandating such analysis, SB03-121, has a huge loophole that has allowed 98 percent of the new rules promulgated since 2004 to escape any cost-benefit analysis. Of the 486 new rules issued in 2011, only eight had a cost-benefit analysis performed.

There is much work still to be done. We must continue to work for greater accountability and transparency in agency rulemaking and more thorough review of rulemaking that adversely affects employers.

I will continue to work on behalf of businesses and employers, and support bills that stimulate growth and job creation. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at my office, at 303-866-4869.

Solheim Cup captains visit cancer survivors Pepper, Mallon stop by breast center at Parker Adventist

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews. com The economic benefits that come with a major golf tournament in Parker are expected to be far-reaching.

Social and emotional advantages can now be added to the list.

Ever since the August 2009 announcement that Parker’s Colorado Golf Club was selected to host the 2013 Solheim Cup, town leaders and local business owners have been preparing for the arrival of approximately 120,000 spectators. The Solheim Cup, scheduled for Aug. 13-18, pits the top professional ladies golfers from the United States against those who hail from Europe.

The prestigious event, much like the PGA’s Ryder Cup, occurs only once every four years in the U.S., and the captain and assistant captain of the home team, LPGA legends Meg Mallon and Dottie Pepper, are making the most of it. They stopped by Parker Adventist Hospital’s Trio Breast Center on Feb. 6 to get a glimpse of the beneficiary of a fundraiser called “Solheim After Sundown,” a gathering for golf fans that includes access to the threeday tournament, silent and live auctions, dinner and live entertainment.

During their visit, Mallon and Pepper had the opportunity to meet with former patients who have been forever changed by the thoughtful and thorough treatment at the Trio Breast Center, as well as the doctors and nurses who provide prevention services and care.

Pepper frequently dabbed at her eyes with a tissue as each survivor stood at the front of the room and told her story. Pepper said she was heart-

Dottie Pepper, LPGA legend and captain of the Solheim Cup’s U.S. team, greets a breast cancer survivor during a visit to Parker Adventist Hospital Feb. 6. Photo by Chris Michlewicz ened by the personal touch shown by the Trio team and impressed that Parker Adventist has one section of the hospital that acts as a “security blanket” for those enduring breast cancer treatments.

“You hear about it or read it in a tournament profile or you see the signage at the tournament, but it’s not very often that you actually get to go see what happens, and I think that’s the moving part,” Pepper said.

Morre Dean, Parker Adventist’s president and chief executive officer, said the fundraiser, scheduled for Aug. 13, could generate as much as $100,000 to support programming and education, as well as provide mammograms for women who can’t afford the routine screenings.

Linda Power, a 38-year-old Castle Rock mother who gave birth shortly before her breast cancer diagnosis two months ago, elicited a fresh stream of tears from the small crowd as she recounted her journey. Her words re-

flected her refuse-to-give-up sense of determination.

“When you have young kids, you can’t let it get you down,” she said.

Power, a golf fan who plays regularly, confidently revealed her head, which has gone bald from cancer treatments, and joked about how manageable her hair has become. Power was among a line of women who talked about their steadfast allegiance to the team that helped them overcome their illness.

Pepper and Mallon stayed and joked around with the current and former patients, including Gigi McCleery, a bright-spirited Parker woman who helped inspire the guests. They also posed for photos with the crystal Solheim Cup, and shared an adorable photographic moment with a shy 5-year-old from Parker named Annika Edson.

See New Mexico through artist’s eyes Traveling exhibit comes to Denver

IF YOU GO “Georgia O’Keeffe: Architecture, Katsinam and the Land” will be exhibited at the Denver Art Museum through April 28. It is included in general admission. There will be docent-led tours daily at 1 p.m. Visitors who want to explore the creative process can enjoy the Paint Studio, across from the gallery entrance. On weekends, local artists will demonstrate their skills. A series of Saturday studio classes are scheduled Feb. 23-March 16. denverartmuseum.org, 720-865-5000.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “When I saw this landscape, it was mine,” Georgia O’Keeffe wrote about New Mexico’s distinctive landscape. Her first encounter was in 1917, en route back to Texas from a Colorado vacation, according to Barbara Buhler Lynes, co-curator of the new Denver Art Museum exhibit “Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico: Architecture, Katsinam and the Land.”

The former curator of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, which organized the traveling exhibit, writes in the show catalog that the artist wanted to return to this land that fascinated her and finally did so in 1929. Then, she connected with Mabel Dodge Luhan and her husband Tony, a member of Taos Pueblo, who introduced her to Native American dances, where she may have seen katsinam. “Kachina” is an Anglicized version of the word for those sacred figures, explained Thomas Smith, director of the Petrie Institute of Western American Art at the DAM. The painter returned to New Mexico every summer from her home in New York, where she lived with her husband, famed photographer Alfred Stieglitz.

She painted and drew images of the land and its architecture and its cultures, colored by her intense emotional response. In 1934, she discovered Ghost Ranch “and found the spiritual home she had been seeking,” Lynes said.

She purchased a home in 1940 and made it her perma-

nent home three years after Stieglitz died in 1946.

Smith said she constantly alternated between realistic and abstract images throughout her painting career.

A series of three images of “the black place” illustrate the variety.

The exhibit includes 53 O’Keeffe works. Among them are 15 rarely-exhibited images

of different Hopi Katsina tihu — kachina dolls, as well as paintings of Hispanic and Native American architecture and dramatic New Mexico landscapes.

Because she kept these Katsina images at her home and rarely exhibited them, they offer new information about this popular American artist and her deep respect for the diverse cultures she found.

In the farthest gallery, the visitor finds a group of beautifully painted katsinam from the DAM’s extensive Native American arts collection, arranged by John Lukavic, Associate Curator of Native Arts at the DAM. Also, there are related paintings and sculpture by contemporary Native American artists, including Ramona Sakiestewa and Dan Namingha and his son, who are Hopi and Chippewa/Dakota Sioux.

He adds a touch of humor with his “O’Keeffe, After Whistler,” a spin on the famous “Whistler’s Mother,” with O’Keeffe’s likeness installed in that iconic rocking chair.

A short video, “Georgia O’Keeffe: a Difference in Art” is shown in this last gallery, with many segments in her voice. It offers a layer of biographical information that overlays the colorful paintings nicely.

After sitting to absorb it, another stroll through the exhibit is recommended.

When Tom’s Urban 24, the 24-hour diner-ish eatery at 15th and Larimer, expands into other cities, chief concept officer Tom Ryan said the plan is to keep roughly 70 percent of the Denver menu, but reserve the other 30 percent to include local fare.

Immediate growth plans include two more Tom’s restaurants with one likely to be in California, said Stacie Lange, executive vice president of public relations for Consumer Capital Partners, parent company of Tom’s Urban 24 and the giant Smashburger chain.

Ryan and Lange invited Pat “Gabby Gourmet” Miller and I to a lunch tasting last week to sample dishes from the “Winter Menu” that recently debuted.

We nibbled on 14 new delightful dishes that, frankly, have much improved the cuisine quality over my first experience at the restaurant right before it opened roughly 90 days ago.

“The old 90-day rule is really true,” Ryan said about what he asserts is the typical amount of time it takes a restaurant to work out the kinks. “It’s like rewiring your house with the electricity on.”

New menu items include pot pies with filet mignon or truffled lobster and shrimp; Stranahan’s whiskey barbecued ribs; open-faced Angus meatloaf platter; Urban super pho with egg, shrimp, chicken and duck confit; fried brussels sprouts with Asian vinaigrette; Tuscan kale and romaine chicken Caesar, and fried “Chickenlooper” with sweet corn pancakes served with syrup and butter.

Some of the new dishes are on the dinner menu only, available from 4 to 10 p.m. daily. Others appear on the breakfast, lunch and late-night menu from 10 p.m. to 4 p.m. Egg dishes have been added to the dinner menu because of customer demand.

In addition to expanding the Tom’s brand, Ryan said Consumer Capital Partners plans to reopen Tossa, the pizza and pasta place in Boulder that the company closed in December, somewhere in the Denver region, but wouldn’t specify. He said the concept needed to be refined.

Zonta Club hits big 1-0

Nicole Pinette, GRI, CRS I have worked in Real Estate for about 20 years. I started my I love traveling with my family. Whether it is playing at DisOwner/Broker Office: 303-683-4837 Cell: 720-244-1514 pinetterealty@msn.com www.pinetterealty.com Where were you born?

I was born in Hanover, New Hampshire, but raised in Vermont. Yes, I am a New Englander!

How long have you lived in the area?

We have enjoyed living in Highlands Ranch for 17 years.

What do you like most about it?

I love the people and their attitude towards life. They have made a choice to live here and experience an unlimited outdoor lifestyle, social connections and Community. Douglas County is a great place to live and raise a family.

career in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. When we ventured to Denver, I worked for Richmond Homes in New Homes sales. In 2000 we started our own company, Pinette Realty Group LLC specializing in Highlands Ranch and Douglas County.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?

We focus on helping families prepare their homes for sale. In addition to the full service marketing and professional representation, we provide our seller’s with complimentary staging, housecleaning, handyman services and much more depending on the client’s custom needs. Our goal is to take the stress out of the home selling process.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?

My biggest challenge is communicat communicating to sellers how crucial it is for them to detach from their home during the selling process. Many people are too emotionally attached dur during negotiations.

ney or walking on a beach with the sand between your toes, vacations are such a great time to reconnect with your family. So many places to see and each create such a special memory.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house?

Talk to a professional stager and a Realtor before beginning the process of selling your home. Take your time and do the preparation by decluttering and spring-cleaning — by far the best return on your investment. There are so many low cost fixups and tricks you can do before selling that will really make a difference in how your home is received by the market.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?

Be prepared to act quickly and have your financing in order so you don’t lose out on a home you really love. Some neighborhoods and price ranges are experiencing multiple offers due to the lack of inventory.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

When I represented homes for Fleet Bank in Cape Cod in the 90’s, I will never forget this one house on a golf course in New Seabury, Cape Cod. My husband and I keyed in to a lovely Villa days after foreclosure and it looked like the owners walked out in the middle of the night. It was fully furnished, beds made, immaculate and all personal belongings were still in the home. It was a little eerie and disheartening to see the homeowners lose such a treasure.

WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT.

WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and sustainable building techniques. The thicker walls in our New Town Builders’ high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula on than in a conven onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we can get 2 ½ mes MORE insula on in the a c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill! Talk to us about building your (surprisingly affordable) energy-efficient new home.

A Colorado Community Media Publication

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

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.

“We depend on people being willing to take a lot of time out of their lives and work and families to do this,” he said, noting board members invest at least 20 hours a month to the unpaid post. “Dan has served selflessly in that capacity for over three years now. I greatly appreciate what he’s done for our school district.”

Carson said Gerken first approached him about resigning shortly after the new year.

“I tried to talk him out of (resigning), but he made his decision,” he said.

Though the board has often been criticized for its fast-paced reform efforts, Carson said he doesn’t believe that was a factor in Gerken’s resignation.

“If you run for office, you have to be prepared for that,” he said. “Speaking 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.”

In seven years on the board, Carson said this is the fourth vacancy filled by appointment.

“It’s not an infrequent occurrence,” he said.

The board has 60 days to fill the empty seat. Any candidate must live in Gerken’s district — District D — 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.

“We’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,” 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.

Students have designs on exhibit Students in Arapahoe Community College’s popular Interior Design and Architecture departments share their impressive portfolio work each year in an exhibit in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at ACC. Visitors can see the sorts of projects they must complete in domestic and commercial areas, and on boards or, in the case of architecture students, sometimes in three dimensions. One may find a design for the interior of an elaborate mountain home or for a trendy restaurant.

The show runs from Feb. 18 to March 13, with an opening reception on Friday, Feb. 22. Admission is free. Hours: noon-5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays (open until 7 p.m. on Tuesdays). The Colorado Gallery of the Arts is in the Annex building, first floor. 303-7975649.

Ferrets have made a recovery in Colorado from threatened extinction. The center features Friday-evening fireside classes, 3000 W. Carson Drive, Littleton.

In 2012, Stacey Johnson of Littleton staged a successful first Home and Garden Tour to benefit the Colorado Center for the Blind, located in Littleton. In 2013, the date will be June 15 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., and Johnson is seeking eight homes for this year’s tour with historic, architectural interest; unique interiors; and lovely gardens.

Audubon seeks help with bird count

Each year the National Audubon Society participates with Cornell University’s Ornithology Laboratory in the national Great Backyard Bird Count.

Dates this year: Feb. 15-18. Individuals and families set aside a period to record what they see and report numbers. This helps maintain figures on birds’ welfare and populations across the country. The local Audubon Nature Center at 9308 S. Wadsworth invites families to bring binoculars and participate at the center from 9 a.m.noon on Feb. 16. Volunteers will teach what to look for in learning to identify and count and will talk about how to attract birds to your yard. Pre-registration is not required. Information: 303973-9530.

Parker: Talk show host reserves Denver hotel room Parker continued from Page 12

VotchKa will headline Give Live, a benefit concert for the Bonfils Blood Center, beginning at 8 p.m. Feb. 14 at the Paramount Theatre.

DeVotchKa, widely known for composing the score to the film “Little Miss Sunshine”, released its seventh album “Live With the Colorado Symphony” in November.

“Throughout the Colorado community, Bonfils is most known for collecting blood donations from our generous blood donors,” said Jessica Maitland, vice president of marketing and community operations.

“This new benefit concert will give us the platform to share another important way our community can help us save and enhance lives — through financial contributions.”

Reserved and VIP tickets available at www.bonfils. org/benefitconcert.cfm.

Dinner, a show and Short

Comedian and actor Martin Short is the featured entertainer during the third annual Early Bird fundraiser, a benefit for the InnovAge Foundation, a nonprofit that channels community support and funding to enhance the independence and quality of life for seniors.

The early-evening event, from 4:30 to 9 p.m. Feb. 23 in the Seawell Grand Ballroom in the Denver Center

of the Performing Arts, includes cocktails, dinner, auctions, music and Short’s comedy.

This is a chance to dress up, dine well, laugh loud and still make it to bed at a reasonable hour.

Tickets are $500 for dinner, Short’s performance, a post-event reception and meet-and-greet with the comedian. Tickets for dinner and the show only are $250. And there’s a $100 ticket for the show only with general seating in the back of the ballroom.

RSVP by Feb. 15 at www. myinnovage.org.

Generous DeGeneres

Talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres was so flattered

by Denver’s Curtis Hotel — a Doubletree by Hilton’s “Couples We Love Celebrity-themed Valentine’s Day Getaway” promotion — that she called the hotel during her show on Thursday to reserve The Ellen & Portia package.

The DeGeneres-themed package includes a CD of “Now, That’s What I Call Dance” for your own private dance party, a bath of Blondies, a bottle of California red wine and two blonde wigs — all to honor the talk show host and her wife Portia de Rossi.

Connie, the unsuspecting Curtis Hotel desk clerk, answered the call while DeGeneres disguised her voice to try to reserve the

room for Feb. 14-16.

After a few funny moments, DeGeneres finally came clean and identified herself. But she sweetened the deal by promising to send several goodies from the Ellen DeGeneres show shop, plus said she’d fly Connie to be an audience member of her show.

You can see the segment at http://bit.ly/XNRM9i .

Other “Couples We Love” packages are available at www.thecurtis.com.

He’s the boss

Former Denver Post theater critic and my former colleague John Moore will be taking up a new act as director of “Always Patsy Cline,” the delightful musical tribute to the famed country-western star, for Ronni Gallup and Starkey Productions at the PACE Center in Parker in April.

“I’m sure the critics will be kind…won’t they?”

Moore posted on Facebook.

You know what they say

about payback, pal. Break a leg!

Parking problems

The LoDo District is finally addressing the 800-pound gorilla that lurks in the neighborhood: parking.

The district wants to know how you get to LoDo and where you prefer to park. There’s an online survey you can fill out so that the LoDo District folks can “meet your needs by advocating for the best parking in town.”

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 Blacktie-Colorado.com. She can be reached at penny@blacktie-llc.com or at 303-619-5209.

sports@ourcoloradonews.com Occupants of the bottom third in the Continental League boys basketball standings, Castle View and Littleton each badly needed a victory in Friday night’s game, though for slightly different reasons: the Sabercats to avoid going 0-7 in conference play, the Lions to improve their position for a Class 5A postseason berth.

Chalk up the elusive first league win for Castle View, which dominated a Littleton team that could do little right for a 68-45 home victory that snapped a seven-game overall losing streak and the Lions’ modest two-game winning streak.

Coming off a four-win season (1-10 Continental) in 2012 and with just one senior, expectations weren’t great for the Sabercats, who have found the going difficult since moving up to 5A for the 2010-11 season. But Castle View had won four in a row before the seven-game skid, and its 6-13 overall record indicates progress is being made.

“We needed it,’’ Sabercats guard Zach Mattice said of the victory. “We want to think every game we have a chance to win.

But that one we thought we had a real good chance. We thought we could match up with them athleti-

cally, and we’re shooting the ball really well right now.’’

Castle View scorched Littleton with 54 percent shooting in building a 40-13 halftime lead. The Sabercats cooled off in the third quarter but still finished just under 50 percent (20-of-42) for the game.

“We composed ourselves,’’ said Mattice, who scored a game-high 22 points that included a pair of 3-point baskets and 12-of-12 from the foul line (Castle View was 2330 as a team to Littleton’s 7-9).

“We were able to handle their pressure, see through it and hit the open guy.’’

The 68 points (it easily could have been more) was Castle View’s second-highest total of the season, surpassed only in an 8050 win over Hinkley on Jan. 4.

“We’ve lost a lot of close games,’’ said coach Tory Mansfield. “If we’d won some of those close ones we’d be about where I had thought. We’re hoping to build on this win and make a push here.’’

Castle View still has Mountain Vista on Tuesday and ThunderRidge left, but also has potentially winnable games against Rock Canyon and Douglas County.

Littleton had already faced the league’s heavyweights, and had hoped to ride the momentum of wins over Rock Canyon and Douglas County into its first playoff berth since 2009.

But first-year coach Dan Ellis’ team (8-11, 2-5) laid an egg Friday and now must regroup if it is to make 5A’s 48-team playoff field.

The Lions still have a chance to record the program’s most wins since picking up 10 in 2010.

“We’ve got to win the last four, and they’re a lot better than the team we played tonight,’’ Ellis said. “This puts a damper on (our postseason chances) because we really couldn’t afford to lose one.’’

Littleton played undisciplined basketball in the first half, and paid for it. The Lions turned the ball over on their first six possessions (leading to eight Sabercats points) and shot 15 percent from the floor (both 2’s and 3’s, including 2-of-13 for the latter) for the first half.

They didn’t score from the floor for the final five minutes-plus of the second quarter.

Ellis was seething afterward.

“That was a (terrible) effort; there’s no other way to say it,’’ he said. “We played selfish, lazy, took `em lightly. All the things we’ve done the last few games we got away from. We didn’t come ready to play. Bad attitudes. It is what it is.’’

The head coach at Adams City the previous seven years, Ellis has been “trying to change the culture’’ at Littleton, “the way we prepare, putting more emphasis on thinking of winning and emphasizing defense.’’

Until Friday, Ellis thought the message was getting through to his senior-dominated team that had benefited in the previous seven games from the addition of 6-7 junior Tim Ladwig and the return of point guard Gentry Girton following a five-game suspension

Castle View’s James White shoot a 3-pointer Feb. 8. earlier in the season.

“We might have 12 wins with those two,’’ Ellis said before Friday’s game.

Nicolas Giordano and Tyus Gallegos-Jones led the Lions with 10 points each against Castle View, but neither one scored in the first half.

Giordano got hot at the end of the third quarter and GallegosJones scored all of his points in the fourth.

Ellis didn’t mind that his team put up 13 treys in the first half.

“We’re a 3-point shooting team, but I don’t like one pass and a shot,’’ he said.

Trio powers Warriors to fourth-place finish Arapahoe ties Cherry Creek in team race

By Craig Harper

sports@ourcoloradonews.com Everybody likes M&M’s, right? How about Mmm Mmm Good, as in Campbell’s soups? Or, 3M? All are appropriate monikers for Arapahoe’s 2013 girls swimming team. Led by freestylers Ella Moynihan, Emily Mayo and Gabrielle Morley, the Warriors tied Centennial League rival and perennial power Cherry Creek for fourth place in last weekend’s Class 5A swimming and diving championships at Edora Pool and Ice Center in Fort Collins.

Moynihan, a sophomore, and Mayo, a senior, were the pacesetters. Moynihan was second in both the 100- and 200-yard freestyles, while Mayo took fourth in both the 200 and 500. Morley didn’t reach the finals in either of her two events, but placed ninth in the 500 and 16th in the 200.

Success wasn’t unexpected for Moynihan and Mayo. Moynihan was third in both of her events in 2012 and was seeded first in the 200 and second in the 100 entering the meet. Moya was second in the 200 to Missy Franklin and third in the in the 500.

Still, “I’m super happy,’’ Moynihan said after she moved up a spot in each event.

“Both races felt amazing. I couldn’t pick one that was better, and they both were personal bests.’’

Erin Metzger-Seymour edged Moynihan in the 200, the Ralston Valley junior finishing in 1:49.92 to Moynihan’s 1:50.30. Mayo took fourth in 1:51.76 behind Centennial League rival Madison Dirks of Grandview (1:51.56).

“I tried to go out as fast as I could and hold on,’’ Moynihan said. “Chasing down

Erin helps.’’

Moynihan lost to Fossil Ridge’s Rhianna Williams, a senior who defended her titles in the 50 and 100. Williams posted a 49.90 to Moynihan’s 51.32. ThunderRidge sophomore Annie Ochitwa, who was second in the 50 and 100 last year, settled for third in the 100 (51.72). Ochitwa again took second in the 50 in 23.47 to Williams’ 23.47.

“There’s no one better to lose to than Rhianna,’’ Williams said. “She’s one powerhouse and deserves it.’’

Moynihan lowered her school records in both events (she set Centennial League marks the previous week) “and went faster this weekend,’’ said Arapahoe coach Mike Richmond. Her times are All-America.

Swimming against Franklin in the 500, Mayo posted a 5:01.67, a bit off her prelims time of 4:57.32, which made her the first Arapahoe girl to break 5 minutes. The Villanova-bound Mayo also swam the second leg on the Warriors’ third-place 400 freestyle relay team, which beat Cherry Creek with a school record of 3:31.34 and pushed Arapahoe into the tie with the Bruins.

Morley placed at state for the first time with times of 1:58.46 in the 200 and 5:10.57 in the 500, which would have put her seventh in the finals heat.

Arapahoe also got a sixth place from senior Miranda Reetz, the Centennial League champion, in the breaststroke (1:06.77) as well as 15th in the 200 individual medley (2:11.72).

Junior Jordan Rowe was 12th in the 500 (5:13.49) and Erin Chilton was 14th in diving (354.0 points).

Richmond said Arapahoe’s goal is “certainly a top five’’ at state, but he wasn’t sure after the Warriors finished eighth in the Colorado Coaches Invitational in mid-December. “There are a lot of good teams, so how can you say you’re not pleased with (a tie for fourth),’’ Richmond said.

‘I’m so proud of Abby and Maddy. Their first state meet is a big experience for them, and they handled themselves beautifully and swam their best times.’

Rock Canyon coach Nicole Vanderpoel Regis won the team title with 287 points, followed by defending champion Fossil Ridge (243) and Fairview (181) Ochitwa, the only ThunderRidge swimmer to place, said she wasn’t disappointed with her meet, “but I was hoping to do better,’’ especially in the 100, though she knew Williams would be tough to beat in both races.

Ochitwa bettered both her 2012 and 2013 qualifying times in the 50. She matched her qualifying time in the 100.

Moynihan and Ochitwa weren’t the only area underclassmen who excelled at state.

Rock Canyon’s freshman duo of Abigail Kochever and Madeline Lacy both reached finals, Kochevar taking third in the 50 (24.14) and sixth in the 100 (52.08), and Lacy fifth in the 100 butterfly (57.03). Jaguars senior Nicole Cassou was 16th in the IM in 2:11.91.

“I’m so proud of Abby and Maddy,’’ said Rock Canyon coach Nicole Vanderpoel. “”Their first state meet is a big experience for them, and they handled themselves beautifully and swam their best times.’’

Mountain Vista’s Ashley Peterson was third in diving with 449.40 points. She led a Continental League foursome that finished 3-4-5-6, followed by Austin Mckensi of Regis (447.45), Kaitlin Costello of Castle View (444.75) and Cat Badillo of Legend (441.85).

Loveland’s Michal Bower won her fourth straight title with 486.15 points. Badillo won the Continential League meet a week earlier, but has been battling back from injuries that have limited her training.

Chaparral seniors Makenna Wilson and Megan Grier made finals, Wilson taking fourth in the backstroke (57.47) and Grier seventh in the 50 (24.57).

They both swam in the 100 consolation finals, Grier getting 10th in 53.30 and Wilson 11th in 53.49.

Freshman Hannah Paris placed ninth in the 50 (24.68) and tied for 12th in the 100 (53.93) for the Wolverines, while senior Annie Graves was 13th in the backstroke (59.45).

Heritage’s Mary Hinton was fifth in the 500 in 5:05.65 and ninth in the 200 in 1:55.34.

Castle View had two swimmers place, led by senior Morgan Stepp, who was seventh in the IM (2:10.97) and 15th in the butterfly (58.85). Senior Kristin Alfano was 16th in the breaststroke (1:10.84).

Legend senior Allison Arnold was sixth in the 500 (5:09.65) and sophomore Lauren Moden was 12th in the 50 (25.04).

Highlands Ranch had two placers: junior Gabrielly Liedy, 14th in the 50 in 25.13, and sophomore Jenny Penneck, 16th in the butterfly in 59.36.

Signing Day: Stephon continues to honor fallen friend

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com PARKER - Ponderosa linebacker Drew Stephon will be lobbying to wear a jersey with the number 21 when he starts playing football for the Colorado School of Mines.

Stephon made it official that he will study and play football at Mines last Wednesday morning during National Signing Day ceremonies.

“My goal was always to go to college and play football,” Stephon said. “As I got older, I knew football was soon going to come to an end so I wanted to pursue a good school and the School of Mines was my best option.”

Stephon, who will likely play safety at Mines, hopes to wear jersey No. 21 for the Orediggers, the same number he wore at Ponderosa in honor of his best friend Lo- Stephon gan Bauman.

Bauman was killed Dec. 6, 2008 when he was hit by a car near his home in Parker. Stephon and another friend were with Bauman at the time of the accident.

“He was the reason I have always wore 21,” said Stephon. “Before every game, I always wrote his initials on my left wrist and then his number on my right wrist. Before every game I would think about him a little bit.

“He has always been an inspiration of mine, trying to make his family proud, like their second son.”

Logan’s parents, Andrew and Karla Bau-

man, were at last Wednesday’s signing and have provided help for Stephon to attend football camps.

The Baumans created the Logan Memorial Fund to help deserving students with the expense of attending Regis Jesuit High School. The other objective of the fund is the assist children ages 10 through 18 in youth athletic programs.

“The whole thing with Logan’s Foundation is to continue to give that gift that he (Logan) made every day and make a difference in someone’s life every day,” said Andrew Bauman.

“Logan had actually taken the Regis entrance exam the morning of the accident,” continued Bauman. “So it all started with trying to figure out a way to help kids financially get to Regis. Right now we have two kids we help sponsor at Regis. And then we do a lot with Parker Hawks football. We do a lot with financial needs, sponsorships with Parker Hawks football and a number of things throughout the community.”

The Logan Memorial Fund has helped Stephon.

“We helped Drew and a couple other kids through the student athlete showcase program,” said Bauman. “This is just one small thing we can do for Drew or any of the other children we can impact on a daily basis.”

The following schools have submitted lists of athletes who signed letters of intent.

Girls hoops: Lutheran rolls through Metro foes Lions wrap up league crown, climb to No. 2 in poll

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Lutheran, a Class 2A school, wrapped up the Metro League basketball title with wins last week over Manual and Colorado Academy.

The Lions finished with a 9-0 record against Class 3A teams in the Metro League and has four remaining non-league games before heading into the Class 2A state playoffs.

Jennifer Vigil scored 17 points and younger sister Kristen had 13 in the 63-39 win over Manual and the Lions, ranked second in the state’s Class 2A poll, drubbed Colorado Academy, 56-37, to earn the league title.

“Winning the Metro League is something we are very proud of,” said Lutheran coach Mark Duitsman.

“You look at the schools in this conference and you know that a league championship does not come around very often.

Schools such as Holy Family, Faith Christian, Machebeuf, these are perennial powerhouses in girls basketball and for Lu-

theran to be on top of that list this season is quite an accomplishment by these girls.

“There is humility about this group that is very rare. They understand that all of this is a gift. Their talent, this team, the league title, even the chance to play this game, it is all a gift from God and these girls just want to make the most of the opportunity they have been blessed with. The accomplishment of winning the Metro League is something that we certainly celebrate, and it is something that can never be taken away from this team, but we also know that the we still have work to do.”

The Lions faced Belleview Christian Tuesday and have games against Denver Christian, University and Byers to finish the regular season.

“The girls on this team, they’ve experienced it all throughout their careers,” added Duitsman. “Buzzer-beaters to end your season, a consolidation, season-ending injuries, state runners-up last year, as well as state championships in volleyball. This is a mature group with excellent perspective on what high school sports are all about.

“They’ve been through the highs and lows, and they’re at a point where they just don’t get caught up in all of it.”

Duitsman emphasized the Lions will not relax.

“Now that we’re through the 3A schedule, we can focus on the remaining games and the 2A playoffs,” he said. “Like always, we’ll take it one game at a time. We’re going to get everyone’s best shot, and you can bet they’re going to get ours as well.”

In the state rankings released Monday, Lutheran remained second but Highlands Ranch dropped from second to third in the Class 5A poll. Rock Canyon slipped to eighth but Chaparral moved up to sixth.

In other action last week: ROCK CANYON - It was a tough week for the Jaguars as they lost to No. 8 Chaparral, 62-56, and fell to No. 2 Highlands Ranch.

Lexy Thorderson scored 18 and 20 points to pace Rock Canyon in both games.

CHAPARRAL - The Wolverines jumped to an 11-0 lead and held off Rock Canyon behind Katrina Bacovcin’s 18 points.

Chaparral used a 27-11 second quarter to beat Douglas County, 77-41, as Katie Longwell led the way with 20 points.

CASTLE VIEW - Jess McGovern scored 21 points to lead the Sabercats to a 65-41 victory over Legend and McGovern had 17 points in a 69-35 trouncing of Littleton as 11 of the 12 players who played scored for the victors.

PONDEROSA - Kari Keough, the leading scorer in the Continental League with a 16.5

scoring average, scored 21 points in the setback to Mountain Vista.

Keough had 21 points and 14 rebounds in a 49-43 win over Legend. She hit six straight free throws to close out the scoring for the Lady Mustangs who outscored the Titans 17-7 in the fourth quarter.

LEGEND - Legend dropped Continental League games to Castle View and Ponderosa but came back for a 58-30 non-league win over Aurora Hinkley.

Mataya Racek scored 13 points against Castle view and 21 against Hinkley, while the league’s leading rebounder Joey Sale grabbed 16 rebounds in the loss to Ponderosa.

Amanda Benglen had 14 rebounds against the Mustangs as Legend pulled down 51 rebounds in the game that saw the teams combine to shoot 32-of-115 for the game.

DOUGLAS COUNTY - Taylor McQueen’s 13 points was tops for the Huskies in the loss to Littleton and Rachael Terbush scored 17 points in the setback to Castle View.

VALOR CHRISTIAN - The Eagles posted their fifth straight win with a 65-29 conquest of Cheyenne Mountain as Valor Christian inched closer to the .500 mark with a 10-11 record.
