Recreational marijuana industry banned Change in ballot wording delays final action on ordinance By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Englewood City Council approved an ordinance on second reading prohibiting all aspects of the recreational marijuana industry in the city. However, they elected to amend the wording of a proposed advisory ballot issue

on the subject, which means final approval will be delayed at least two weeks. The vote on the ordinance establishing the ban was 5-2, with Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward and Councilmember Joe Jefferson voting against it. During the discussion of the issue, Jefferson said he would vote no because he feels the action ignores the fact that Englewood residents overwhelmingly voted to approve Amendment 64, legalizing the recreational marijuana industry. Woodward said he also voted no for the same reason. Councilmember Rick Gillit said he would vote yes on the ordinance because, while it prevents the industry from coming

into Englewood, it in no way restricts individuals from growing or using recreational marijuana. The newly passed ordinance first defines recreational marijuana cultivation facilities, product manufacturing facilities, testing facilities and retail stores, and then prohibited establishing any of these facilities or stores in Englewood. In a separate action, the city council considered an ordinance placing an advisory question on the November ballot regarding the ban of all recreational marijuana facilities and stores. Councilmember Jill Wilson said she felt the way the proposed ballot question was

written didn’t clearly state that the ban places no restriction on the personal use or residents’ ability to grow their own recreational marijuana as allowed by Amendment 64. Following a lengthy discussion, the council agreed to amend the ballot issue wording, to point out the proposal would not have an impact on personal rights regarding use and growing recreational marijuana, existing medical marijuana businesses, personal caregivers or patients. Because the proposed ordinance was significantly amended, it will have to be considered for a final reading. That action is tentatively scheduled to take place at the May 20 council meeting.

Election overhaul advances

CAPTIVATED BY CRITTERS

Republicans incensed over proposed changes By By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A major Democrat-sponsored overhaul to how elections are conducted in Colorado passed the Senate on May 2, much to the chagrin of incensed Republicans who uniformly object to the effort. House Bill 1303 — the “Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act” — would make substantial changes to the state’s voting and registration process, primarily by allowing residents the Report ability to register to vote all the way up through Election Day. Also, every registered voter would receive a ballot in the mail. That includes socalled “inactive voters” — those who currently do not receive mail ballots because they did not vote in the previous election. The bill essentially does away with polling precincts as we know them, and instead sets up “polling centers” where any eligible voter can show up to cast a ballot. Democrats believe the bill modernizes elections and allows for greater involvement in the voting process. “At the end of the day, all we will find is that more people who are registered to vote will do so,” said Senate Majority Leader Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora. Democrats are touting this as a bipartisan piece of legislation, because the vast majority of county clerks in the state support the measure, including those who are Republican. But Republicans senators were apoplectic over the bill, which they dubbed the “Voter Fraud Act.” They argue that allowing

Names added to law enforcement memorial Recognition given to five who died on duty in 2012 By Glenn Wallace

gwallace@ourcoloradonews. com Five names were added to the Colorado Law Enforcement Memorial on the morning of May 3. The ceremony was attended by nearly 300 family, friends and fellow law enforcement officers of the five officers who all died in the line of duty in 2012. Those honored included Englewood Police Detective

Jeremy Bitner, Denver Police Officer Celina Hollis, Colorado Springs Police Officer Matthew Tyner, Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office Captain Leide William DeFusco, and Lakewood Police Agent James Jeffery Davies. Family members of the fallen officers were given seats at the front of the ceremony. Several could be seen placing flowers at the base of the memorial, after the ceremony. An additional 10 names were added, based on historic research. The historic inclusions had death dates ranging from 1873 to 1966. In total, 250 names are now written on the memorial. James H. Davis, Executive

POSTAL ADDRESS

Director of the Colorado Department of Public Safety conducted the ceremony, held by the memorial, located Bitner in front of the Colorado State Patrol headquarters in Golden. Davis said that it was hard for him to speak about the sacrifices made by those who died in the line of duty, defending the citizens of Colorado. “But this memorial is our duty, to serve and protect their memory,” Davis said.Davis added that the sacrifices of the surviving family members should also be remembered. The captains of the Denver, Colorado Springs, Lakewood and Englewood Police Departments, as well as Pueblo’s Sheriff all placed wreaths at the base of the memorial, in honor of the officers who died under their command. The ceremony included the singing of the national anthem, Lakewood Police Department

Honor Guard provided a 21-gun salute, and at the end a flock of white doves was released. Bitner died May 28, 2012, when he got out of his vehicle during a traffic stop and was struck by a hit-and-run driver. Bitner, a Centennial resident, left behind a wife and two young children. Conner Donohue, 21, has pleaded guilty to four felony charges and a misdemeanor charge in connection with the incident that cost Bitner his life and injured the motorist that Bitner had pulled over. Donohue pleaded guilty on Feb. 22 to vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, leaving the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injury, leaving the scene of an accident causing death, and driving under the influence. He is scheduled for sentencing May 31. The collision that killed Bitner took place on Broadway, just north of the Littleton border. Donohue allegedly sped away from the scene but was stopped about three miles south by Littleton police.

FEEL THE ENERGY

It’s been a long and winding road, but the Colorado General Assembly has finally passed a driving-stoned standard for motorists. The measure — which is expected to be signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper — establishes a marijuana blood standard by which it is illegal to get behind the wheel. “Smoke and walk. Smoke and take the bus. Smoke and grab a cab. Smoke and call a friend. Smoke and ride a horse. Smoke and take the light rail,” said Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, a bill sponsor, during a recent Senate debate. “Just don’t smoke and drive. Your life and every other citizen’s life on the highway is at risk. The bill passed the Senate May 7 on a 23-12 vote, after it had previously cleared the House by an even wider margin. The bill limits drivers to five nanograms per milliliter of blood for active THC, marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient. But that limit would be known as a “permissible inference” standard by which a person is considered to be under the influence of the drug. However, a defendant can rebut in court whether he or she was actually impaired. That’s different from a strict “per se” standard, such as the 0.08 percent blood-alcohol concentration used to prosecute drunken drivers. Opposition to the bill knew no party lines. Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver,

voted no on the legislation, arguing that there are laws already on the books that make it illegal for people to drive while impaired. “What’s the problem we’re trying to solve here?” Steadman said. And Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, cautioned that a driving-stoned limit could lead to “too many false positives,” due to residual amounts of the drug being in the bloodstream of a person who regularly smokes the drug, but may not have been stoned behind the wheel at the time of arrest. “We should not be convicting people who are not guilty of driving while impaired,” Lundberg said. Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, had voted no on setting stoned-driving limits in the past, but voted yes on this “reasonable” piece of legislation, this time around. “With all of the lines we have to draw here at the Capitol … I think we have to draw a line at some point (on driving stoned),” Kerr said. Members of the Capitol press corps dubbed the effort the “zombie bill” because it continued to surface at the legislature, in spite of having suffered multiple deaths. The bill had failed four times in previous years — and it even suffered two separate deaths before it finally passed this session. The original bill passed the House, but failed in a Senate committee. A driving-stoned standard was then tacked on in the form of an amendment to an Amendment 64 regulation bill, before it was stripped from that legislation by a separate committee. The bill’s House sponsors were House Minority Leader Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, and Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora.

Society handles increased dog drop-offs Denver shelter emergency drives up numbers at South Platte By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Thanks to volunteers who stepped up to help, the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley dealt with a major increase in dogs brought to the shelter the last week of April. The Denver Dumb Friends League’s Quebec Animal Shelter had an outbreak of pneumonia and, as of April 20, was no longer accepting or arranging adoptions of dogs,” said Leslie Marsonneuve, South Platte director. “The result was an increase in dogs brought to our shelter. We had taken in 17 dogs dropped off the first three weeks of April and we had 25 dogs brought in during the week of April 20-28.” The suspension in Denver is expected to last 30 days. Marsonneuve said the large increase in dog numbers strained society resources to maintain the shelter and care for the animals, and it also triggered a request to society supporters and volunteers for help.

“The response was outstanding. We had folks volunteer to provide foster care for some of our dogs, plus we had people step up to help exercise our dogs and clean the shelter,” Marsonneuve said. “Also, we did a remote adoption project and had 20 dogs adopted. We are now in pretty good shape to deal with any increased dog drop-offs that might happen until the Quebec shelter reopens toward the end of May.” The director noted the humane society is making efforts to broaden its service to the community by hiring a trainer who is planning to start dog training classes for the public in early June. “We also have made changes in order to improve the services provided by our spayneuter clinic,” she said. “Right now, we offer spay and neuter services twice a week. The cost is $45 for cats and $85 for dogs, which is less than the vast majority of low-cost clinics in the metro area.” The clinic is open Tuesdays and Thursdays and accepts about 15 animals a day. The animal is dropped off by 7:30 a.m. and it can be picked up between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. Marsonneuve said efforts are underway to add a clinic on Wednesday. The Humane Society of the South Platte

animals brought in by animal control officers from several jurisdictions. For information on the shelter and its services, call 303-703-3938.

Two named to Englewood depot committee Residents part of group that will review development proposals By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Englewood City Council voted May 6 to name Harvey Pratt and Donald Roll as the resident members on the committee that will evaluate two proposals submitted to purchase, restore and use the Englewood depot. The council reviewed five applicants and then selected the two men to serve on the committee. The committee is the next step in the process that began when Englewood put the train depot up for sale earlier this year, and a trio of offers to buy the building was received in response to the city’s request for proposal. Council members decided to establish a committee made up of two residents and three professionals with expertise related to historic preservation and financing of historic structure restoration. Initially, there were three proposals submitted by the Englewood Historic Preservation Society, the Englewood Urban Farm

County presents 24 youth awards Arapahoe honors teens who overcame challenges By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Arapahoe County commissioners honored 24 men and women between the ages of 13 and 19 who live or attend school in Arapahoe County and who have overcome personal obstacles to serve their family, school and community. This year’s event was held April 29 at in the Mayo Aviation hangar at Centennial Airport. Carol Dosmann, coordinator for the event, said communities throughout Arapahoe County present awards to winners in their community and nominate award winners as candidates for the county award. “This year, there were 24 nominees, all met the county’s criteria and

the decision was to honor them all,” Dosmann said. “Each winner received a certificate, a blue marble star and a pen and pencil set.” She said traditionally, the county awards one $500 scholarship from the Colorado Community College System that can be used at any of the state’s community colleges. This year, commissioner Nancy Jackson spearheaded an effort to provide scholarships. The result was presentation of five additional scholarships, each with a value of $1,000. The $500 scholarship is to be used for the fall 2013 semester and was awarded to Omar Soto Arvizo, who attends Cherokee Trail High School in Aurora. The Arapahoe County Foundation provided five $1,000 scholarships that can be used at the college of choice for the 2013-2014 year. The scholarships were presented

Bill requires reporting of elder abuse Measure on way to becoming law By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A bill that would mandate elder abuse reporting in Colorado is finally on its way to becoming law. Senate Bill 111 requires individuals in certain professional fields to report known or suspected cases of abuse involving people age 70 or older. The bill passed the House May 1 on a 56-8 vote, after it had previously breezed

through the Senate. Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, a House sponsor of the bill, said the legislation is “over 20 years” in the making. “It’s failed several times, but we’ve finally got it right,” Schafer said during a recent House debate. “This demographic is as important to protect as it is with child abuse.” Schafer said the issue is of particular importance to Jefferson County, which has the highest numbers of seniors in the state. Fellow Jefferson County lawmaker, Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, carried the bill in the Senate. Those deemed as “mandatory reporters” include professionals in health care, finance, social work and law enforcement.

State closer to taxing Web sales Measure portrayed as move toward fairness By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado is a step closer to being able to collect Internet sales taxes, following a vote in the state Senate on May 6. House Bill 1295 readies the state for the federal Marketplace Fairness Act, which would allow states to tax Internet sales, providing Congress passes the legislation. Internet retailers like Amazon.com would pay taxes to a central collection point. Retailers would pay the taxes directly to the state, which would then funnel revenues to local governments, under the state bill. Representatives for local businesses testified at legislative committee hearings that it’s unfair that online retailers are not required to collect sales taxes. “This is about fairness to our tax sys-

tem, making sure that the brick and mortar stores don’t have a disadvantage to the online remote sellers,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, a bill sponsor. Ferrandino noted that mega-retailers like Amazon.com and Walmart support the legislation. The bill expects to pump more than $73 million into the state’s general fund in its first year of implementation, providing Congress acts. Congress needs to pass the Marketplace Fairness Act in order for states like Colorado to collect taxes from out-of-state retailers. That’s because the Supreme Court has ruled that states cannot force retailers to pay taxes if they do not have an actual physical presence in the state, unless Congress gives the OK. Out-of-state retailers with fewer than $1 million in annual sales would be exempt from the federal act. The state bill passed the Senate on a 2114 vote, after having previously passed the House on a 37-23 vote.

Those who fail to properly report cases of physical, mental, financial or sexual abuse within 24 hours could face a misdemeanor penalty. Investigations of elder abuse cases in Colorado have increased by an average of 2 percent every year. During the 2011-2012 fiscal year, about 11,000 elder abuse cases were filed in the state, with more than 4,700 of them requiring a law enforcement investigation, according to information from the General Assembly’s Legislative Council. Several previous attempts at passing similar legislation had failed, primarily because the money needed to support the effort wasn’t there. That’s not the case this

same-day voter registration opens the door to more cheats casting ballots. “I have not talked to one clerk and recorder, except for maybe two, who think that same-day voter registration is a good thing, and that we should be allowing this huge open door for voter fraud to come to the state,” said Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch. Harvey also blamed Democrats for “cramming” through such a major bill, with just a handful of days left in the legislative session. At one point during an April 30 debate, Harvey requested that the entire 120-page-plus bill be read aloud in its entirety, which took about two and a half hours to get through. Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, said that the bill would allow anyone to register to vote the day of an election, “with virtually no identification.” Colorado law does not require a photo ID or social security number to register to

Amy Stephens, R-Monument, also a bill sponsor, reminded her colleagues that Colorado is one of only three states that doesn’t have a mandatory elder abuse reporting law. “That’s pretty pathetic and the time is now,” Stephens said during a recent House debate. “Financial abuse of seniors has become a huge issue. This is really, really critical.” Gov. John Hickenlooper is scheduled to sign the bill at the Seniors’ Resource Center in Wheat Ridge on May 16, according to Schafer.

vote, and voters can use a utility bill to show proof of residency. Lundberg said that using a utility bill to register to vote on the day of an election is “a cruel joke” that sets itself up for the possibility of fraud. “You’re already winning the elections,” said Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs. “Do you need to steal them, too?” Democrats point to safeguards in the bill that they say would help protect against fraud, such as the use of a real-time voter file access system that would determine who is eligible to vote and those who have already cast a ballot. Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, said that Senate Republicans are using “bogeyman” politics to argue against the bill. “We are not doing something out of the norm,” Ulibarri said. “We are updating our standards for the 21st century.” The bill passed the Senate on a 20-15 party-line vote. The bill had previously passed the House, also without any Republican votes. It was re-passed by the House for concurrence of minor Senate amendments on May 3, and now heads to Gov. John Hickenlooper’s desk for his signature.

Pot debate finally lives up to billing

For much of the legislative session, there was one thought that would enter mea-into my mind, perhaps more than any nextother: This marijuana stuff is pretty boring. Seriously. For a drug that’s capable of also amaking everyday experiences pretty interthatesting for a whole lot of people out there that— and can make those old Allman Brothers e re-vinyls sound even sweeter — for the most part, covering the Legislature’s attempts me isto regulate the newly legalized retail pot ouseindustry had been quite the snooze fest. s be- So, thank goodness for the last few criti-weeks of the legislative session, which produced a slew of pot activity — including ed tosome profound philosophical debates over Cen-the regulation of the drug — that managed ng toto put the “Wee!” back in “weed.” But things surrounding the implementation of Amendment 64 — the voter-approved measure that legalizes recreational marijuana use — sure did start out slow this legislative session. There were committees after committees after committees, many of which started at 7:30 in the morning. Ugh! And from those hearings emerged super-exciting terms like “vertical integration”; “excise tax”; “egress”; “ingress.” But, I digress. Thankfully, the last couple of weeks of legislative pot talk made up for all of the months of boring regulatory language, trite marijuana puns and over-used Cheetos references. Thoroughly entertaining debates over how to tax the drug and where people should be allowed to congregate to smoke it emerged at sessions’ end. And the political lines over those issues became about as blurred as highway lines

might appear to a stoner on his way home from a String Cheese Incident show at Red Rocks. “It’s been all over the place,” said Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, in a recent interview. Singer was the sponsor of House Bill 1318, which puts in place an Amendment 64 taxation model. Singer said it was “refreshing” to see that debates over marijuana knew no political boundaries. “Ninety percent of the folks here have this really open mind about it, like, `So, what do you think?’,” Singer said. “And my answer is, `I don’t know, what do you think?’ And were figuring it out together.” Breaking news: Republicans don’t like taxes. And they, like many people, don’t like drugs. So what was fascinating to observe over the last couple of weeks of the session was members of the Grand Old Party arguing in favor of lowering tax rates on retail marijuana sales. Their argument was sound — they didn’t want the drug taxed too high, out of fear that the black market would benefit. But the irony is that the end result of lowering taxes on marijuana makes it cheaper for people to buy drugs! That irony was not lost on Singer.

“The traditional conservative argument for less taxes kind of steps in the way for the traditional conservative argument for less drugs. So, how do we balance that?” Singer said. “Same thing on the progressive side. There’s people on that side worried about social factors of drug addiction and the social factors of incarcerating people because of drugs. “It’s a little off kilter.” You can say that again. Case in point was a fascinating debate in the Senate over whether the state should allow the existence of marijuana clubs, where people could have a common place to enjoy the drug, like “Cheers” for pot smokers. Wouldn’t you like to get away? This issue sure made for some strange political bedfellows. Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, joined forces with Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, to propose an amendment to one of the marijuana regulation bills, that would have treated marijuana clubs like cigar bars — only they wouldn’t be allowed to actually buy the drugs there, just smoke them. Sen. Vicki Marble, R-Fort Collins, argued in favor of Steadman’s amendment — which, now that I think about it, could very well be the first time that a Colorado legislative reporter has ever written that sentence. Awesome! “The last thing you want them to do is to hang out in a back alley and smoke it,” Marble said on the Senate floor recently. Democratic Sens. Cheri Jahn of Wheat Ridge and Gail Schwartz of Snowmass opposed the pot club amendment, along with Sen. Larry Crower, a Republican from Alamosa. “Kool-Aid is legal, but do we need a

place to drink Kool-Aid?” Crowder quipped during a recent Senate debate. “If you want to go to a party that has it, then go ahead and smoke it.” See what I mean? Pretty cool, eh? “The political lines are blurred, in some sense, in the Republican caucus (on this issue),” said Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, in a recent interview. “This topic cuts across party lines and philosophic lines that are really complex.” By the time this column hits Colorado Community Media’s papers, the General Assembly should have already wrapped up work on the implementation of Amendment 64 regulations. Jahn said she’s learned a lot about marijuana over the course of the session. “I know more about this than I thought I ever wanted to know,” Jahn told me. “Who would’ve thought? However, if you really look back at over the last five or 10 years, you could really see it’s been moving this way and the attitudes in Colorado and through the country have really changed.” That may be true. But legislators like Gardner — who opposed Amendment 64 — would just as soon be talking about something else. “I’ve heard more marijuana testimony than I have on any other subject in the General Assembly,” Gardner said. “That is astounding to me. I never thought it was something that was a good use of our time, but we have no choice.” Vic Vela is the legislative reporter for Colorado Community Media. Email Vic at: vvela@ourcoloradonews.com.

Civil unions ‘not exactly golden ring’ Mental health bill

on way to governor

Couple will wait for marriage equality

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews. com

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcolorado news.com For Scott Strong and T.J. Sullivan, their relationship is already very real. And while some samesex couples rushed to usher in Colorado’s Civil Union Act with midnight ceremonies, the self-described “40-somethings” went quietly about their lives in suburban Aurora. “First of all, that kind of stuff is just way past our bedtime,” joked Sullivan. “And while we don’t want to take away from civil unions’ awesomeness, it’s just not something for us.” Although the new state law treats civil union partners, in nearly all respects, like married people, parties to a civil union are still denied many rights afforded by those in heterosexual marriages. For that reason, Strong and Sullivan have taken a firm stance to wait for full marriage equality at the federal level. “For example, simple things like filing a joint income tax return or receiving certain Social Security benefits are still denied,” Strong said. “And then, there’s

Colorado’s Civil Union Act took effect May 1, making same-sex unions legal. But while Scott Strong, left, and his partner T.J. Sullivan say the new law is a step in the right direction, they prefer to wait for total marriage equality, not just at the state level, but at the federal level, as well. Photo by Deborah Grigsby

other things, like portability — a civil union here in our state doesn’t necessarily mean anything in another.” Sullivan went on to say that while civil unions are a step in the right direction, they are “not exactly the golden ring” that many same-sex couples seek. Civil unions are more a political compromise, according to Strong, pacifying those who were not ready for same-sex couples to marry. “It’s kind of a whole messy situation,” Sullivan

added. “Civil unions, unlike marriages, still have to be explained.” He said federal laws still codify him and Strong as second-class, and that until those laws are repealed, civil unions do nothing to change it. Sullivan was referring 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, a federal law being weighed by the nation’s Supreme Court. DOMA, as it is known, restricts federal marriage benefits and interstate marriage recognition to those in opposite-sex marriages.

“For us, if DOMA falls, that is the greater prize,” said Sullivan, who says it will be nice when the government catches up “with our real lives.” So until then, Strong and Sullivan will wait. “In some ways I have to applaud the state, but it doesn’t feel right to celebrate just yet,” Sullivan said. “It’s like celebrating a victory when we’re only twothirds of the way through the race. “We’ve still got a third of the way to go.”

A bill that will pump nearly $20 million into the creation of a statewide mental health crisis response system is on its way to the desk of Gov. John Hickenlooper. Senate Bill 266, which was a major funding priority for Hickenlooper this legislative session, passed the House on May 6, following a bipartisan vote of 44-21. It had already cleared the Senate. Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, called the bill “historic legislation.” “When it comes to mental health funding in Colorado, we have never funded it appropriately,” Newell said during a recent Senate debate. “I honestly believe this bill will save lives.” The bill creates a 24hour mental health hotline system and sets up five walk-in crisis service centers around the state. Mobile and residential crisis services also would be available under the bill. The legislation also creates a public information campaign to raise awareness of mental health services and needs. The bill directs the Department of Human Services to set up a request-for-proposal pro-

cess that will lead to a coordinated mental health crisis system. The bill was the result of a call by Hickenlooper in December to revamp the state’s mental health system, an effort by the governor that was sparked by last year’s Aurora theater shootings. Bill sponsors say the legislation finally allows the state to pump money back into an underfunded mental health system, which took a big hit during the 2002 recession, said Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, a bill sponsor. “We have never been able to bring funding back up to the 2002 level,” KraftTharp said. “That’s why making mental health a priority to redesign and strengthen our system is the right thing to do.” Although the bill received bipartisan support in both legislative chambers, many Republicans opposed the effort. Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, said the bill sets up a “statewide control system” of mental health resources, which he believes is better dealt with at the local level. “I believe it is setting up a new path for mental health management, and that is: We’re gonna do it at the state level,” Lundberg said.

OPINIONS/YOURS AND OURS

W Rail opening shines green light for region By about 5 p.m. April 27, the line of people at the Jefferson County Government Center light-rail station in Golden no longer extended over the hillside toward the foothills. The moment seemed to round out a monumental weekend for RTD that featured two days of free rides on the newly opened W Rail light-rail line. We witnessed an enthusiastic launch for a project that came in eight months ahead of schedule, and we later reported that RTD estimated 35,000 riders rode the rail on that Saturday. We went for a ride as well and were impressed with the 35-minute trip from Golden to Union Station. The train mostly travels a track line that has existed for a century — so as expected, homes, buildings and business properties are nestled by the track.

OUR VIEW And interspersed with the old is new development. Yes, times have changed. Interestingly, it has been more than one economic downturn since “smart growth� and “infill� development were common terms in these parts. But we remember the concepts and are pleased to consider the impact of the W Rail in offering another mass transit option and infill redevelopment. Increased mass transit is welcome in many ways, not just for redevelopment but for quality of life — consider Jefferson

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

How much do you care about light rail expansion? Depending on light-rail funding, plans are for a second east line station in Lone Tree to be done by 2015 and a Highlands Ranch stop, once said to be completed by 2016, to be finished at some point prior to

2042. On the heels of RTD’s west line opening, CCM stopped by the Mineral Station in Littleton and the Lincoln Station in Lone Tree to ask riders if southern expansion was important to them.

“I’m sure I’d find a reason to use it, but I guess I wouldn’t know the difference until it came. I don’t see any use for it at this point.�

“It’s pretty important. I think the light rail should go all the way to Castle Rock. There are a lot of people that live out this way and this is the end spot.� — Robert Johnson, Highlands Ranch

“Not too much for me. I live in Parker, so coming into Lincoln is really not that big of a deal. It takes five minutes for me to get here.� — Nicole Laurie, Parker

“I think it’d be a good thing. It’d get more traffic off the highway, people would use less gas, and nerves would be less frayed from sitting in traffic.� — Joe Breyer, Kiowa

Better yet, knock ’em alive I am sure that most of you, if not all of you, are all familiar with the statement, “Knock ‘em dead.� It is usually given as a well-wish or send-off for someone about to give a performance or a speech. Many years ago a good friend of mine, Bryan Flanagan, changed it a little so that it was more encouraging, and he enthusiastically says it this way, “Knock ‘em alive!� The cool thing is that it has become more than just a well-wish or inspirational encouraging send-off, Bryan uses it many times as we say our goodbyes. Many of you who know me personally or through this column are aware that I have stolen Bryan’s line on more than one occasion. OK, maybe not stolen, but certainly borrowed. I just love the thought about leaving a person or an audience more inspired and motivated than they were before we spent our time together. I want to knock ‘em alive! There have been many times in my life where I was either dragging bottom or feeling low. Or maybe I was stuck or stalled, hitting a plateau and needed someone to come along and knock me alives. Have you ever thought about it? Have you thought about what a person or group might feel like when you leave their presence? Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could have that kind of impact on a person, group, or situation? I mean it’s truly wonderful, especially when someone, anyone, brightens our day or leaves a positive impact that changes our moment, our hour, our day or even our week or month just by

County, which sports one of the oldest populations in the state, with about 13.1 percent over 65 years of age, while the state average is 11.3 percent. The corridor’s 11 new W Rail stations — including the Federal Center and Red Rocks Community College — are important stops, sure to be energized day in and day out. The idea to schedule “parties� — in other words activities and booths — at each stop along the 12.1-mile route was a good way to introduce the personalities of the stops and their adjacent neighborhoods to the region. And the new line extends east to existing light-rail stops at Auraria West for Metropolitan State University, the Pepsi Center, Sports Authority Field and finally Union Station. We heartily welcome this line that extends straight west, a little different from

Benefits of fracking require regulation Over the past few years, “fracking� has gone from a term used largely within the oil and gas industry to one used and understood by soccer moms, farmers and citizens across our nation. It is a word that often invokes either hopes for economic boom and long-term energy security or fear of inevitable contamination and environmental disaster. As with most important issues in our public dialogue, the truth lies somewhere in between. Fracking — short for “hydraulic fracturing� — is a process used in oil and gas extraction. In fracking, millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are injected at high pressure into underground formations to blast them open and increase the flow of fossil fuels. The injected fluids can include a variety of chemicals, including known carcinogens and endocrine disruptors. As this process is used more extensively, concern has grown in communities around Colorado and across the country, and a significant debate has developed over its use. In any thorough discussion of fracking, we must acknowledge the reality that natural gas is a significant economic driver — particularly in Colorado. It creates jobs and economic growth while providing us cleaner-burning fuel. It is also an abundant domestic resource, which we can use as a bridge fuel while incorporating renewable energy sources like wind, solar and hydro into a comprehensive energy policy for the United States.

some gesture, kind word, or smile. They knock us alive. The sentence is so obvious for a speaker or performer, no one really wants to knock their audience out, do they? No, we want them alive, responsive, cheering, and laughing or crying, or maybe even laughing so hard they are crying. In every situation we are looking for that spark, that reaction. And I think that is why I believe the way Bryan Flanagan changed the phrase is such a fitting and powerful way to say goodbye and not just to be used before someone goes on stage. Just imagine how much better each and every goodbye would be if we left one another with, “Knock ‘em alive� after every encounter. I would love to hear all about how you plan to knock ‘em alive at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and as we all make that effort it will certainly be a better than good week.

the more north-and-south-oriented existing Denver metro rail corridors. Locally, some business development folks said the project has put Jefferson County on a more even playing field. The business community is primed to tap opportunities to develop the corridor and attract workers — after all, the corridor was on the drawing board before FasTracks was approved. And from a more regional point of view, we know the impact of the entire plan will increase as each additional corridor is completed and the FasTracks plan — which is admired internationally — comes to fruition. Sure, FasTracks has had its cost issues and completion issues — particularly with the North Metro Rail Line — but for now we can enjoy the freshly energized corridor between Golden and downtown Denver.

In promoting the benefits of this cleaner domestic fuel, however, we must not gloss over the real environmental issues that exist. Any policy developed to support fracking must ensure the health and safety of our citizens. While Colorado begins to reap the rewards of natural gas, we’ve also heard anecdotal evidence of water contaminated by fracking fluid and in one instance, reports of an emergency room nurse who nearly died after treating a worker splashed with the fluid. Reports have emerged around the country of residents, homeowners and workers becoming ill after fracking operations began in their communities. While these are still anecdotal, government officials, medical professionals and citizens need to know with certainty what chemicals are being used at which well — both to evaluate risk ahead of time and to treat any contamination after the fact.

DeGette Continued from Page 8

ing public disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking is a reasonable step towards protecting communities and ist- ensuring oil and gas extraction is conducted safely and responsibly. y, Eighteen states, including Colothe more rado, have recently put in place statelevel regulations requiring voluntary to disclosure of fracking chemicals. Of dor these states, 11 rely on FracFocus, ridora website designed for voluntary acks disclosure by oil and gas companies. FracFocus was created to provide iew, valuable information, on a voluntary basis, to landowners and concerned citizens about the chemicals used in or specific wells. But the limits of apply— mes ing a voluntary disclosure framework to a diverse set of state regulations es and requirements raise questions with about the effectiveness of FracFow cus. Just last week, the Harvard Law ridor School Environmental Law Program’s er. Policy Initiative released a report raising significant questions about states’ reliance on FracFocus. The Harvard study concluded that “relying on FracFocus as a de facto regulatory practice is premature and does not serve the interests of the public.” In addition to calling the website “impenetrable” for users to navigate, the report found that the FracFocus program was not effective for three

primary reasons. It has not been shown to provide timely notifications when companies disclose, so states are unable to determine reporting compliance; its one-size-fits-all format creates obstacles that prevent effective compliance by oil and gas companies; and it enables companies to claim “trade secret” status for certain chemicals on an inconsistent and unsubstantiated basis. The report also concluded that because of myriad ways FracFocus is ineffective, it sends a strong signal to industry that compliance and accurate reporting are simply not important. Whether it’s the mom concerned about the impact of fracking near her family’s home, the regulator trying to ensure community compliance, or the emergency room doctor trying to determine how to treat an injured worker, the study makes clear that FracFocus is failing to provide the disclosure its users need. In fact, Colorado was actually one of only two states to demand requirements of FracFocus, and those conditions have not been met. I’m concerned about the direction chemical disclosure is heading because I’ve been working on these issues since 2005, after a whistleblower from the EPA in the Colorado office came forward with concerns that potential threats to public health had been ignored in an important report on fracking. After researching the issue and working with several experts in the field, I first introduced

my FRAC Act (the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act) to establish common-sense safeguards that ensure the benefits of natural gas do not come at the expense of our health and safety. I plan to reintroduce this bill in the coming weeks. One of the key components of the FRAC Act is to create a federal regulatory framework for disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking. Doing so would remove the patchwork of different state regulations that the industry currently has to try and comply with, and would set up a consistent and effective system of mandatory disclosure, rather than depend upon a tool — FracFocus — that is not designed for the task. As a member of the Congressional Natural Gas Caucus I believe this legislation would enhance our efforts to promote the responsible development of natural gas. Natural gas is an important economic driver for our nation and for our state in particular. As we witness America’s natural gas boom, the Harvard study underscores that a reasonable, commonsense framework of regulations at the federal level can help us safeguard our health and our environment, without standing in the way of the economic and energy benefits fracking can provide us all. U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette serves Colorado’s 1st District, which includes Denver, Englewood, Columbine Valley and Bow Mar.

What is the most challenging part of what you do? The most challenging thing that I do is to help you understand what your needs truly are when it comes to purchasing a home.

How long have you lived in the South West Littleton area? I am a California Transplant of 22 years. We came to Colorado after John Denver painted that unforgettable image of “Rocky Mountain High.” I love seeing the mountains every day! Although from California, I have lived in New York, Paris, Hawaii & London as well as San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego.

snowy days when at home but my greatest love is to travel. I just visited my 60th country...and passing through an airport does not “count”! I love to connect with people and explore their lives. My favorite was the trip to Nepal and the Tiger safari on my 40th birthday! What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? Two words...Price and Staging. We must “sell” the home from the first moment that the Buyer has a first look. Our goal is to have the Buyer shaking their head “YES” about everything they see. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Look for the need to replace any high cost items like windows, the roof, furnace. Do not get “sold” on the cosmetics.

How long have you worked in Real Estate? I was originally licensed in California at the end of college in 1979 and “circled back” to it about 11 years ago. I am currently with Coldwell Banker and have been managing my Real Estate Team for the last 5 years.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? I showed a home in Roxborough where it was “raining” indoors. The pipes had burst days ago, the entire home was flooded, and water was raining down on us.... It likely cost $150K for repairs on a $300K home.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? I work with a variety of Sellers/Price ranges. I understand that the Luxury Buyer has different needs than a first time

Manning mangles music “Not What It Seems,” shot in Trailmark, is by Andy Marquez, who has returned to Littleton from Denver’s Arts District and has opened a gallery on Main Street.

Photographer focuses nearby By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcolorado news.com Chatfield State Park, Red Rocks, Trailmark, Roxborough State Park, Deer Creek Canyon and Frisco — most near to photographer Andy Marquez’s home in Roxborough — offered beautiful subjects for him. That’s especially true early in the morning, as the light begins to come up, highlighting natural forms, and the sky glows pink. In that special light, a clump of grass or small shrub is lovely to look at. Artists and photographers may get a new perspective on looking at the world just outside the front door. Former Littleton businessman Marquez has returned to downtown Littleton after a stay in Denver’s Museum Dis-

“Having a Meltdown” by Andy Marquez was shot in Frisco. trict and has opened a gallery in Suite 206 at 2329 W. Main Street in the Littletown Building

(the historic I.W. Hunt Building, which was once an auto showroom, when Main Street was

auto transportation-focused, with numerous sales and repair businesses). A new exhibit of these local images, “Winter’s Farewell Serenade,” will be open May 17 (5-8 p.m.); May 18 (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) Marquez said someone will be in the lobby of the building to ensure admittance at those times. He is holding workshops for photographers, which include a field trip plus a one-on-one two-hour session on composition, light, shadow and reflection. His experience in world travel photography, as well as in capturing wildlife and natural images locally, will influence his presentation. On May 13, the field trip location is Roxborough Park, and in June it’s Downtown Denver. For information, call 303-7976040 or see andymarquez.com.

We can only hope he keeps his day job, but Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning diverted from the playbook and took the stage with country-western singer Luke Bryan during the April 27 Celebration of Caring Gala in Indianapolis, which benefits that city’s Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital. Manning, who played 14 seasons as the Indianapolis Colts quarterback, attended the event to show support for the hospital that bears his name. And although Manning looked far less comfortable on the stage than he does on the gridiron, he was a good sport by joining Bryan, this year’s Academy of Country Awards entertainer of the year, in a “rendition” of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues” and Waylon Jennings’ “Luckenbach, Texas.” Check out the melodically challenged Manning’s duet at: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=NSG7FeGxRwY.

A group that deserves the limelight on stage, Train, headlined NightShine, a benefit for Denver Health Foundation on April 27 at the National Western Events Center. After the presentations and recognitions were over — including the 2013 Denver Health Stars award-winners James Q. Crowe (Level 3 CEO) and Pamela Crowe — Train lead singer Pat Monahan engineered the popular band through hits such as “Calling All Angels,” “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” and fan favorite “Drive By.” But this was no ordinary, roped-off, don’t-block-the-aisles affair; rather Monahan encouraged a stampede of gowned gals who didn’t hesitate to swarm the stage. No doubt the best concert at a gala that I’ve ever seen. Parker continues on Page 18

The family element that goes on behind the scenes mirrors what’s happening on stage. “There are so many generations in the show, that there’s really something for every age here,” Massaro said. Tieze added that part of the play’s draw lies in its relatability. “This is a show about something that everyone can or will one day relate to,” she said. “It’s a family that can be nasty and dysfuncitonal, but the audience is going to recognize each character within their own family.” For tickets and more information, call 720-898-7200 or visit www.arvadacenter.org.

Students get a feel for the wheel Activity shows that driving isn’t just visual experience By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com For most American teenagers, driving a car has become a rite of passage, but for Andre Jackson that passage almost didn’t happen — because he is legally blind. But thanks to a partnership with MasterDrive in Englewood, Jackson and 30 of his classmates at the Colorado Center for the Blind in Littleton got a chance to test their driving skills on May 2 in a customized driving class. Before getting behind the wheel, students were required to attend an hour-long class, familiarizing them with the functions of the car, the course and general safety. “What we do is, essentially, give these kids an experience they may otherwise never get,� said Spencer Pace, a driving instructor with the nationally franchised driving school. “And that’s the chance to drive a real car.� Under the careful eye of trained driving instructors, the low-vision and blind students were verbally coached through a series of driving obstacles, including a slalom course and skid recovery. “Oh man, this is great,� Jackson said with a big toothy grin. “Now I can go pick up my date.�

Castle Rock

Students from the Colorado Center for the Blind made their way through a series of driving obstacles, including a skid recovery course, during a May 2 class at the Centennial facility of MasterDrive, a nationally franchised driving school.

Although 12-year-old Andre Jackson is blind, driving instructor Tina Giberti, right, ensures his first experience driving a car is a memorable one. Giberti verbally guided Jackson through a series of driving obstacles, including a skid recovery course, at MasterDrive in Centennial. The annual event is a partnership between the Colorado Center for the Blind and MasterDrive, which teaches driving skills. Photos by Deborah Grigsby Pace explained that while the students were unable to see, they were very much able to feel subtle changes in the car’s movement. “For example, they pick up on things like

The vehicles, facility and coaching were provided by MasterDrive at no cost to CCB. “At the Colorado Center for the Blind, our students participate in a wide variety of activities,� said Brent Batron, director of youth programs. “We push our students so they’ll believe they can work and live full lives.� “Driving is something that most of us in our society take for granted,� said Mark Stolberg, MasterDrive’s senior vice president of training. “Driving is not only a visual experience, as the blind drivers will discover.�

Chamber lauds small business leaders Awards honor service, innovation of entrepreneurs By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Three of south metro Denver’s most innovative entrepreneurs and business leaders were honored at the 28th annual Small Business Leadership Awards ceremony, hosted by the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. More than 300 local business and civic leaders gathered at The Comedy Works in Greenwood Village to congratulate this year’s award recipients: Footers Catering, Abby Senior Care and Jeff Wasden, owner of PROformance Apparel. Comedian and Animal Planet emergency veterinarian Kevin Fitzgerald served as emcee for the snowy May 1 event. According to chamber President and CEO John Brackney, the program, which recognizes excellence in business, innovation and leadership, attracted a record 125 nominations this year, across three categories, compared with 70 in 2012. Nominees were evaluated on achievements to include leadership and management ability, innovation, financial performance, prospects for sustained business, and community involvement. “Small business is alive and well here in the south metro area,” said Marcia McGilley, executive director of the chamber’s Small Business Development Center.

Pirates end season with win streak Soccer team wraps up schedule with three victories in a row By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Pirates girls soccer fans went home happy April 30 as Englewood chalked up a 2-1 win over Fort Morgan that was the second of a season-ending three-game win streak. “It is always good to win the final home game of the season,” Englewood Coach Bill Gilmore said after the Fort Morgan game. “We have one more game. We were to play Elizabeth but a league requirement means we’ll now play Vista Peak, where we’ll be looking to close out the season with another win.” The coach was accurate in his prediction, as Englewood played Vista Peak May 2. The Pirates dominated play and won the game, 8-0. The coach said April 30 the Pirates have an outside chance to be selected for an atlarge spot in the state playoffs, but wasn’t sure it was likely. “We have a 10-3 overall record, but we didn’t have a real strong non-league schedule,” Gilmore said. “Then, we have lost three league games, and that isn’t a good statistic to have if you hope to land an at-large spot.” Again his prediction came true, as Englewood was not selected for a spot in the state playoffs. Looking ahead, about half this year’s team will graduate in June. However, returning lettermen include the team’s top three scorers through the end of April: Elijah Daughtry, who had 35 goals and three assists; Julie Kline, who had 21 goals and

The statistics for the 8-0 win over Vista Peak

on May 2 were not available. Englewood set the tempo in the April 30 game against Fort Morgan. Particularly in the first half, the Pirates generally controlled the ball and repeatedly mounted

well-executed attacks. They would have had at least five more goals had the shots on the net not hit the crossbar. Pirates continues on Page 23

Heritage High senior’s life is whirlwind Torres balances athletics with many other activities By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Heritage High School senior Logan Torres now focuses on her efforts as a sprinter for the Eagles track team, but she still finds time to take voice lessons, model, prepare for pageants, ride her horse and develop her competitive figure skating talents. At the April 27 Liberty Bell Invitational, Torres ran the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash and was a member of the Eagles relay teams. In addition, she sang the national anthem a cappella. “I got started running track in middle school, decided to try it in high school, and I found running track is one of those addictive things that, once you get started, you can’t quit,” she said. “As for my music, I have been taking vocal lessons since I was a little girl. Originally I was going to be a theater major at School of the Arts. I transferred to Heritage, I joined the track team and I kept my music. I like to sing, and my favorite music to sing is classical works, a lot of Broadway songs and I love to sing opera.” Competing in pageants began as a child, she said. Torres said when she was little, she watched her cousin compete in pageants

Senior Logan Torres goes through track practice at Heritage High School. Photo by Tom Munds and told her mother she wanted to do it too. “I did quite a few pageants, I did pretty well and it was fun. Finally, last year, I won the Miss Colorado High School Teen title. That is one of those amazing, surreal feeling I can’t put into words,” she said. “As state winner, I went to nationals to represent our Colorado. Nationals were amazing and a little overwhelming. The event was held in Texas and that was good because we have

family there and I had a lot of support.” She said this summer she’ll compete for the National American Miss Colorado Teen title. She said hopefully that will earn her scholarships. She said her participation in pageants opened the door for her to begin modeling for a couple agencies. Torres said there is a month before her next pageants, so she should have time to

prepare for it. However, she also has a long list of other activities to keep her busy, which will include spending a lot of time with her horse. “I have ridden and trained horses since I was little and I love it,” she said. “I own my own horse, an Arab-quarter horse cross. She is a line-back dun. She is not old or far enough in her training to compete yet. But my baby is getting older and better trained, so competition is in the near future.” She said she is thinking about cross country competition because her horse is full of energy and she is very strong. “Riding is my alternative outlet,” Torres said. “I love running, but when you ride, you have a set of legs that aren’t yours and they are so strong. My horse and I have a special bond. I have raised her since she was a foal and she is like an extension of me.” In addition to track, the talented athlete is also a competitive figure skater. “I like skating, and competitive figure skating requires a lot of the same talents as pageant competition,” she said. “Competing in figure skating and in pageants require you be athletic, present your program while maintaining your smile and your poise at all times.” As she wraps up her high school career, she said she is an A-B student and has taken a lot of advance placement tests, with plans to enroll in the University of Colorado at Boulder in the fall.

Pirates Continued from Page 22

Englewood was ahead 2-0 at halftime and continued to attack. Fort Morgan got its goal midway through the second half on a well-placed shot. For Englewood, Kline and Elijah Daughtry each had a goal while Kavinsky and Dominique Daughtry each had an assist. This year, Dominique Daughtry was assigned to play defense as the middle fullback. “At first, I didn’t want to play that position. I have been playing soccer since I was 4 and I have basically never played defense,” the sophomore said. “However, now that I have learned the position, I have gotten better and I like it more now to play sweeper.” She said her speed, her knowledge of the game that helps her read plays, plus the ability to communicate well with teammates have helped her play the defensive position better.

Daughtry smiles and said spring is a fun time for her because she gets to compete in her two favorite sports, track and soccer. “I really like track because I have a speed that helps me in the sprint events I run,” she said. “Playing soccer and running track isn’t too hard. But sometimes I am a little tired after I play a soccer game one day and run in a track meet the next day.” Teammate Julie Kline said she is sad it is the final game she will play with the seniors on the team. “These girls who are seniors this year have become like family for the past two years we have played soccer together,” she said. “I wish them the best as they graduate but I will really miss them next season.” Kline said she was glad the Pirates won the final home game of the regular season. She added that Englewood should have won by a larger score. “Right now, I am starting to think about the final game of the regular season when we are on the road at Elizabeth,” she said. “They beat us earlier this season and I think I speak for the team when I say I am looking for payback.”
