Accidents increase at Broadway/C-470 Authorities beef up police patrols in response to crashes By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com It wasn’t long ago that two construction workers were killed when a driver lost control of his car near Broadway and C-470 in Highlands Ranch. But that doesn’t mean other drivers are proceeding with caution. Seven accidents occurred in the work zone in the two-week period surrounding the new year, including one Jan. 7 nasty enough to prompt Douglas County Traffic Engineer Dennis Lobberding to discuss the situation with both the Littleton Police Department and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. “We’ve had very good cooperation with both departments,” said Lobberding, who is overseeing the yearlong project. “They had been out there a couple times a week, but after talking to them Monday they are upping that to a couple times a day just to try to have more of a presence.” Lobberding said all of the recent wrecks have been rear-end accidents caused by people who were going too fast and not paying attention. “The traffic stops in front of them and they don’t stop,” he said. “It seems like it’s the worst in the morning with people getting to work.” Although the construction zone exists between Dad Clark Drive on the south and County Line Road on the north, the 25 mph work zone expands from Plaza Drive in Highlands Ranch to Southpark Drive in Littleton. A handful of signs on both ends inform drivers that fines double in the construction zones — increasing a 10-over speeding ticket from $135 to $270 — but that hasn’t deterred many commuters. Jason Clukies, who drives through the construction zone five to six times a week on the way to work at Outback Steakhouse in Highlands Ranch, said traffic is either really backed up or people are driving the normal 45 mph speed limit, ignoring the

‘Our school zones are our No. 1 priority.’ Sheriff ’s Sgt. Ron Hanavan posted work zone limits. “It’s madness over there,” Clukies said, adding that people are also “flying down the off-ramps (and onto Broadway) much faster than they should be going.” The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office issued 58 tickets on Broadway between Dec. 1 and Jan. 8, most of which were handed out in the construction zone, spokesman Sgt. Ron Hanavan said. With increased patrols those numbers are likely to go up. “Our school zones are our No. 1 priority and then after that we get into construction zones,” Hanavan added. “Our No. 1 complaint across the board in the county is traffic-related issues, hands down.”

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE The projected timeline for the Broadway/C-470 construction project is October 2012 to October 2013, and according to Project Manager Dennis Lobberding, workers are on track to finish the project ahead of schedule. The project, which entails the complete rebuild of Broadway between Dad Clark Drive and County Line Road, includes upgrading the storm drainage system, widening the road in both directions to lengthen left-turn lanes for the C-470 on-ramps, and the addition of bike lanes. No new lanes for motorists are being added. Workers are wrapping up the storm drainage upgrade and widening on the east side of Broadway. They will begin the same work on the west side of the road late next month or in early March. Once that is complete in April or May, workers will spend the next 100 days reconstructing the main body of Broadway in two phases. One phase will force all traffic in both directions to the northbound side of the road and the other will force all traffic to the southbound side. During that time the on-ramps will be closed at Broadway and C-470. The off-ramps will remain open at all times. For more information, tune to 1620 AM for weekly updates or visit www.douglas.co.us and search for “Highlands Ranch road improvements.”

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.

Legislators’ kickoff: Chow, everybody Opening Day of the General Assembly — no, make that Opening Week — is one long social event punctuated by family gatherings, floral deliveries, speeches, inside jokes, bad puns and, this year at least, Democratic control, iPads and something known as “Peegate.” As usual, newly elected officials, male and female, donned their best suits for their photo ops and their mass swearingin. Reporters not accustomed to covering “The Leg” squeezed into press areas. And lobbyists raced to legislators’ offices to praise, or pan, the bills that flooded in. I, of course, headed straight for the one annual event that tends to bring even vehemently opposing sides together: Opening Night’s Blue Ribbon Reception, co-hosted by the Colorado Restaurant Association and the Colorado Hotel & Lodging Association. Senators and representatives from both sides of the aisle gathered at The Grand Hyatt’s Pinnacle Room with a bird’s-eye view of downtown from the 38th floor. State lawmakers tipped back adult beverages and scarfed down special snacks served by CRA-member restaurants. The per-person price of the party was low enough to comply with state ethics rules. (Full disclosure: I write a blog for the Restaurant Association.) The only audible discussions were which restaurant served the best food. While there was no consensus, the 14 participating eateries put out an impressive example of their menus. Ted’s Montana Grill served bison shortribs, sausages and semi-sour pickles; The Charles Court at The Broadmoor upped the ante with a plate that included dynamite tuna tartare; CityGrille broke out some heat-filled green chili followed by miniature hamburger-shaped cookies; Cheyenne Mountain Resort plated a seared scallop; Mangia Bevi offered deep-fried ravioli with dipping sauces; Metro State culinary students cooked up crab cakes; Wild Eggs topped chips with egg salad and crostini with chicken salad; Outback Steakhouse served seared ahi tuna with

wasabi soy dressing and blue cheese pecan chopped salad; Centerplate’s dessert display was worth raving about; The Fort served buffalo meatballs; Bonefish Grill had tuna sashimi; The Fresh Fish Company served tuna its way, seared along with ceviche; and Baca at the Inverness Hotel & Conference Center offered seared sea scallops with forbidden rice and butternut squash risotto. During a short break at the feast fest, CRA President and CEO Pete Meersman thanked the roughly 300 attendees along with the restaurants and beverage sponsors Republic National Distributing and Southern Wine & Spirits. “Restaurants and hotels are the cornerstone of Colorado’s economy,” Meersman said. “Restaurants and hotels together will generate over $12.5 billion in sales this year. This generates over $850 million in state and local state sales taxes. Restaurants and hotels employ roughly 286,000 employees in 11,500 restaurants.” Those numbers were not lost on Gov. John Hickenlooper, a former restaurateur and founder of The Wynkoop Brewing Co., who spoke to the crowd he called “his peeps.” “There is no challenge that restaurants can’t overcome,” Hickenlooper said. “My 10-year-old son, Teddy, and I got into an argument three weeks ago about how much homework he has. He said to me, `All you do is learn facts and make decisions and get a check. I learn something new every day and if I don’t get the facts right, my next day is miserable.’”

The governor went on to tell the lawmakers, “Our goal is to make good decisions. If we get together we will have a great session. “Right here in this room, we have the two greatest industries in the world — restaurants and legislators.” House Speaker Mark Ferrandino gave the Blue Ribbon Reception a big thumbsup. “I told the House members this is by far the best event of the year,” he said. “This provides on opening day (of the Legislature) a day to celebrate each other. We have the next 119 days to meet and talk but we might not always agree. Tonight, let’s celebrate the opening of the Legislature.” But Colorado Hotel & Lodging Association honcho Christine O’Donnell had the last word: “Let’s eat, drink and be merry!”

New this year

Many things have changed under the Gold Dome, what with 27 representatives and four senators who’ve never served before. That’s what term limits get us. But legislators also are getting the chance to be more tech-savvy, with iPads all around. The paper-saving move was approved last year to cut down on printing and filing costs and to increase legislative efficiency. The tablets set taxpayers back about $60,000, according to the Associated Press. Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, asked if software can automatically vote no for certain sponsors. The answer: Yes, but it’s “inadvisable.” On the flip side, also new were key card readers on certain upstairs bathrooms at the Capitol that had long been accessible, through push-button codes, to lobbyists. Capitol regulars decried the change. “Let my people go,” one reporter Tweeted. The Department of Personnel and Administration acknowledged to some miscommunication with the legislature. By days’ end Friday, the crisis was over, with wider access restored.

Capitol bests

Best use of a filing cabinet, endangered

with the new iPads: To “put my coffee on,” said Sen. Greg Brophy. Best debate over a speech: Sen. John Morse’s long paramedic story, about how he rushed to help following a car wreck where the victim ultimately died, had fans and foes. “Ran over to catch Sen. Morse’s speech. So far, I’m sorry I did,” the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby said on Twitter. Best rip on the Senate: “We love having you in our chamber, but please leave,” said Speaker Mark Ferrandino. Best photo op: Morse posed for a photo with the family of new Sen. Owen Hill. The two senators bitterly vied for a seat two years ago. Second best photo op: Five speakers in one photograph — the current speaker and former speakers Frank McNulty, Andrew Romanoff, Terrance Carroll and Ruben Valdez. Best gaffe: The governor said “Oh, Jesus” after messing up a quote in his State of the State speech.Second-best gaffe: Chief Justice Michael Bender asked representatives to “oppose — uphold — the Constitution. Third-best gaffe: Morse introduced Bender as “Chief Justice Bennett.” Bender panned, “Thank you, President (Bill) Cadman.” Best symbolism: The House opened with Denver’s Gay Men’s Chorus singing Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.” Ferrandino is the first openly gay House speaker. Best quip by a reporter: “`The skiing and the pot was great but the best part of my Colorado trip was the LAMB CHOPS,’ said no one, ever,” wrote the AP’s Kristen Wyatt, dissing Hickenlooper’s choice of what to bet on the Broncos game.

District releases ex-principal’s alcohol content Test indicated .078 BAC, schools’ spokeswoman says By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcolorado news.com Ousted Douglas County School District principal Alan McQueen’s blood alcohol content was .078 percent on Dec. 6, a reading that prompted his firing, district officials said. That reading is just under the legal limit of driving under the influence and within the state-set range for driving while impaired. Douglas County School District spokeswoman Cinamon Watson released the BAC after weeks of community speculation about the fairness of McQueen’s firing. She did so “to set the record straight. I think there have been a lot of rumors,” she said. “He blew a .078 at 10 a.m.; that was two hours after the meeting started.

That was clearly a violation of district policy and quite frankly, common sense,” Watson added. “This wasn’t cough medicine. This isn’t `I was a little hung over and had a glass of wine the night before.’ He was dismissed for a violation, a very serious violation of our policy.” Two separate tests conducted about an hour later by an independent company showed readings of .056 percent and .051 percent, Watson said. McQueen since has been hired as a middle school math teacher at the K-8 charter school Platte River Academy, two miles from Heritage Elementary where he served as principal for more than three years. As a charter school, Platte River is publicly funded and considered part of the school district, but operates and hires staff independent of DCSD. His new boss said he’s well aware of the BAC reading and other circumstances surrounding McQueen’s dismissal.

“Alan’s done nothing illegal or immoral,” Platte River Academy Principal Gary Stueven said. “I’m certainly not in a position to question what the district’s done. They’ve made a decision that I suspect precludes him being hired in the district; I respect that. But that doesn’t mean I can’t do what I feel is best for my school. “We all learn our lessons from history. I’ve certainly learned mine. I’m sure Alan has learned his. I want to move forward. What I want in the end is what’s best for my kids.” McQueen and Buffalo Ridge Elementary Principal Ally Berggren, who resigned Dec. 7, both were given alcohol breath tests during a Dec. 6 administrators’ meeting at The Wildlife Experience in Parker. Both reportedly had been drinking the night before the meeting at separate events. Watson said colleagues at the meeting alerted DCSD officials to McQueen’s condition. She did

not comment on Berggren’s BAC or say why district officials asked her to take the breath test. Other than to confirm his hiring at Platte River Academy, McQueen did not comment on his dismissal or his new position. Berggren has not commented since her resignation. As principal of high-performing Heritage Elementary, McQueen was popular and beloved by many. Parents, students and community members held a rally in the wake of his firing, and another parent gathered 533 signatures on a petition calling for his reinstatement. Those signatures will not bring him back. “Clearly, people have moved on,” Watson said. The district’s substanceabuse policy states that reporting for or remaining on duty with a blood-alcohol concentration of .02 percent or greater is prohibited. It allows for a range of corrective action, extending from a letter of warning to termination.

Schools’ projected increase in students stands out Douglas among three districts in top tier By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcolorado news.com Douglas County is among three districts in the metro area in line for the highest student growth in coming years, according to the Colorado Legislative

Council. But district officials say the council’s findings are not news to them, and they are finding ways to accommodate the ever-growing student population. Douglas County, Denver and the Brighton 27J district all are on track for higher-than-average student growth, with Douglas and Brighton leading not only the metro region but the state. Counts taken during the 2012-13 academic

year show enrollment in the Douglas County School District up 2.7 percent, outpacing the metro area rate of 1.7 percent. The recent count only verifies a years-long pattern, DCSD officials said. “Douglas County has always experienced tremendous growth,” said Dan McMinimee, the district’s assistant superintendent of secondary education. “The big boom started about 1985. “People are going to continue to be moving in, expecting great schools, and we’re going to provide those.” Growth is strongest in Castle Rock and Parker, and slowest in Highlands Ranch. DCSD’s Long-Range Planning Committee last year determined the district has a $250 million list of unfunded capital projects. Although the state gives districts an average of nearly

$6,500 per student, that only adds up to an additional $7.8 million for the district’s 1,200 new students. It costs about $16 million to build a single elementary school, McMinimee said. Douglas County voters twice rejected proposed increases in school taxes, so the district instead is focused on efficiency and finding creative partnerships. The under-construction Aspen View Academy in Castle Rock and second American Academy campus in Parker will help absorb some of those growing elementary school populations. Parker’s Legend High School is among the schools hardest hit by growth. Since its 2008 opening, Legend has grown by about 450 students each year. Next year’s projected enrollment is 1,986, and the school’s capacity is about

2,200, Principal Corey Wise estimated. “We hired 13 teachers this year and we didn’t gain a class,” he said. “We’ve had to add three mobiles (classrooms). We have the potential to have up to five mobiles; we’re close to that max.” Because Legend has a solid reputation, it also draws an additional 70 to 100 students annually from outside its feeder area through open enrollment. Closing the doors to open enrollment is among the ways to deal with growth, Wise said, but not one he wants to use. “It’s a balancing act. You have to be purposeful and intentional in what you do,” he said. “Growth in schools is exciting. We have the largest marching band. Our choirs are huge. Athletically, we’ve jumped from 3A to 4A to 5A now. We’re ahead on the technology side. (Yet)

we try to feel like a small school and know every student.” Short of a bond issue, a nearly last-resort option to handling growth is to shift schools to a four-track system, in which students are divided into four different scheduling tracks. “That’s not a popular calendar with some of our families,” McMinimee said, “but that could be a way to mitigate this in the future. We’re not proposing any schools go to four-track at this point. The data says we can go through next year with what we have. But the data can change.” Growth still is a relatively good problem to have, McMinimee said. “I would take this any day as opposed to being in a declining district — having way too much space, cutting teachers and programming,” he said. “I’d much rather be on this end.”

t Schools weigh

security changes All options on table as safety panel meets By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

The Douglas County School District is leaving all options on the table as it considers beefing up security in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings. Those possibilities include the addition of armed marshals to all elementary schools and physically modifying buildings, to a more stringent visitor screening process and increased staff training. The district’s newly formed safety committee held its first meeting in early January. The still-expanding group will consider the pros, cons and financial viability of any change. Meanwhile, measures taken in December immediately after the Dec. 14 Connecticut tragedy — including regular, drop-in visits from uniformed sheriff’s deputies and police officers — remain in place. The prospect of armed marshals in local elementary schools already has garnered both support and criticism from community members. In a December press release, DCSD said it likely would be modeled after the airline marshal program, with plainclothes, armed personnel covering an undisclosed number of schools each day. DCSD Chief Operations Officer Bill Moffitt emphasized it is for now only an idea. “The marshal program is something we’re in discussion with law enforcement about right now,” he said. “We hlands haven’t really gotten into enough details to share that yet. ties We’re still vetting the level of support right now.” DCSD also has fielded calls from community members willing to volunteer as armed school guards. “We’re putting that into one of these areas to evaluate,” Moffitt said. “The school district and law enforcement agree we want folks that are trained to handle a certain situation. With any volunteer kind of program, we also have to look at the sustainability.” Committee members also will consider potential capital smallimprovements, such as improved exterior doors, automatic stu-doors or gates to isolate an intruder, and established safe areas. ue, a “Obviously, the last one and most important probably on tois ongoing training,” Moffitt said. “We want to continue shiftto practice all of our regular drills and engage in some sys-tabletop exercises going forward. We want training to be a s arestandard thing we do when we go through orientation of erentnew employees coming into the system, so they absolutely know what to do.” pular DCSD school security already includes locked doors and f oursafety personnel at the front door of each building, security said,staff at all middle and high schools, uniformed school reay tosource officers, safety and lockdown drills, and many other ture.programs. any “It is quite good, but there’s always room for improveck atment,” Moffitt said. ys we DCSD is working with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Ofyearfice and the Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Parker police det thepartments on its plans, which also will include a review of mental health services. ively The committee will meet on an ongoing basis, Moffitt Mc-said, sharing its recommendations as they are made. “When something has been vetted and it’s ready to deanyploy, then we’ll be as transparent as we can about that withg in aout divulging too many details about the specific strategy,” avingMoffitt said. cutrammuch

Governor calls for gun checks State of State also mentions civil unions, marijuana, economy

do background checks. Let’s support our citizens’ mental health needs.”

Civil unions could pass

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Gov. John Hickenlooper acknowledged that “there are no easy solutions” to issues involving guns, but said a debate on how best to deal with firearm-related violence is something “our democracy demands.” The Democratic governor, addressing the General Assembly during his annual State of the State speech Jan. 10, also proffered his opinion on one area of gun control that is certain to be one of the most passionately debated topics lawmakers will take up this legislative session. “Let me prime the pump,” Hickenlooper said. “Why not have universal background checks for all gun sales?” That suggestion certainly caught the attention of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. “It is just completely unenforceable,” House Minority Leader Mark Waller, RColorado Springs, said of Hickenlooper’s call for all sales of guns — including those involving personto-person transactions — be contingent on background checks. But Democrats applauded the governor’s stance. “He made some risky points,” said Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada. “He wasn’t afraid to jump into that.” Gun control, one of many issues that legislators are expected to take up over the next five months of the session, was just one area that Hickenlooper addressed. Eco-

Common ground sought

Tackling the issue of gun violence is a top agenda item for this Democratic-controlled General Assembly, especially after last year’s Aurora theater killings and the December massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. But just talking about guns has always been a dicey political issue, as the governor acknowledged. “Some point to guns, others to a violent culture,” he said. “Still others believe that the line between community security and individual freedom must be re-drawn.” In spite of those varying viewpoints, the governor urged action. “Surely, Second Amendment advocates and gun control supporters can find common ground in support of this proposition: Let’s examine our laws and make the changes needed to keep guns out of the

hands of dangerous people.” Hickenlooper also sought “support for a comprehensive overhaul of our state’s mental health system,” something that he hopes can help mentally ill individuals get treatment before they commit gun crimes. Republicans said there is a bipartisan consensus on dealing with mental health issues, but that Hickenlooper’s calls for universal background checks on gun sales is problematic. Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, called such an effort “a regulatory regime” that won’t do anything to curb gun violence. “It makes people feel good, but it doesn’t do anything to solve the problem,” he said. Gardner also said that it’s unrealistic that “drug dealers on street corners are going to abide by that regime.” But Democrats have the numbers this session, and are primed to move on guns. “It’s a tough issue for everybody,” said Democratic Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood. “It’s a `let’s do everything’ approach. Let’s

Tyler also praised the comments on civil unions by Hickenlooper, who said: “Some of us tried very hard, but it didn’t get done last year. This year, let’s do it. Let’s pass civil unions.” “The Legislature sometimes doesn’t get things done the first year,” Tyler said, referencing civil unions. “It’s been up and over and over again.” With Democrats in charge, civil unions finally are expected to pass this session. However, Waller “wants to make sure that Democrats are being completely transparent with that bill,” arguing that language in civil union legislation shouldn’t contradict the existing gay marriage ban in the state Constitution. Then there’s another big deal that elected officials will have to take up in the coming months. “Oh yeah, Amendment 64,” Hickenlooper said, referring to November’s voterapproved legalization of recreational marijuana use. A task force is working on finding ways to regulate the marijuana industry and will forward its findings to legislators by the end of February. Hickenlooper said it is important for the drug not to reach children, and he wants to expand DUI laws for those driving while impaired on marijuana. Waller, who is sponsoring a bill that deals with driving under the influence of marijuana, said he was pleased the governor addressed the issue. With so many hot-button issues coming up this session, it may be easy to lose focus of what Colorado residents perhaps want lawmakers to pay the most attention to over the next five months. “We do know it’s the economy,” said Kraft-Tharp. “It’s jobs.” Hickenlooper praised Colorado’s “economic rebound” following “a historic recession.” The governor said he wants to “keep improving and building on the foundation we have in place,” and that he plans to put forth a budget that “builds the state’s financial solvency.”

Legislators have big issues on their plate Democrats control both houses, governor’s office Staff report Colorado’s General Assembly went into session Jan. 9 with Democrats in control of the House, Senate and the governor’s office. But by most accounts, jobs and the economy remain the No. 1 priority for Colorado’s lawmakers. New Speaker of the House Mark Ferrandino said as much a few days before the session kicked off, stating plans to roll out a series of economic bills. More will be reported on the topic as legislative pro-

posals emerge. What follows is a look at other important and controversial issues legislators are expected to tackle this session, which is scheduled to end May 8. • Gun control: Last summer’s Aurora theater shooting and the more recent Connecticut school shooting have sparked new efforts across the nation to restrict access to certain types of guns and ammunition. But perhaps nowhere will the gun-control debate be more heated than in Colorado, a state that traditionally has shown staunch support for the Second Amendment. Gov. John Hickenlooper has stated that the time is

right for the discussion on gun control. The Democratic Legislature appears poised to make that a priority. Rep. Rhonda Fields, DAurora, plans to introduce two bills, one that would expand background checks for would-be gun buyers and another that would ban high-capacity magazine clips. Other lawmakers have chosen to focus this debate on treatment of the mentally ill rather than on guns themselves. • Fracking: The popular term for hydraulic fracturing involves pumping millions of gallons of water mixed with sand and chemicals deep underground to break up layers of rock and extract oil and natural gas.

Changes are already under way, with the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission recently approving a rule to require groundwater testing before and after drilling, and giving preliminary approval to increased setbacks from buildings. The panel will make a final setback decision the week of Jan. 21. Limits on noise, emissions and dust and protections against spills also are being considered. • Marijuana: Colorado’s Amendment 64 task force is on the job. And it’s quite a task. The 24 members of the panel are charged with making sense of a multitude of issues related to recreational marijuana use, which voters made legal in the November election. The task force has only until the end of February to compile recommendations for the

Legislature. A few among the many questions they will consider: Should marijuana be regulated like alcohol as opposed to the medical marijuana model? Should pot tourism be prevented by allowing only Colorado residents to purchase it? What can be done to ensure those under 21 years of age are not able to purchase and use the plant? • Civil unions: This appeared well on its way to passing during last year’s session before last-minute maneuvering prevented a vote. Having a Democratic majority in both chambers makes it highly likely this will be taken up again and passed. As for the possibility of moving beyond civil unions to gay marriage, Ferrandino, who is openly gay, said in December, “I don’t think we’re there yet as a state.” Legislators continues on Page7

Harvey eyes session with minority view State senator expects little good from Democrats By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Republican Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch is entering his 12th session in state politics, and his view is similar to four years ago — the last time the Democrats controlled both legislative chambers as well as the governor’s office. “Elections have consequences,” the state senator said. “It will be interesting to see what the consequence will be of having such a very far left leadership in the Senate and to see what gets to the governor’s desk and how he responds.” The Senator for District 30 said for the last two years Gov. John Hickenlooper has been able to keep from showing his true colors and “act like a moderate, pro-business Democrat,” but that’s about to change and what it will look like is not yet known. “To date he has been blessed by having a split legislature,” Harvey said. “Whatever was uncomfortable for him that the Democrats sent over was killed in the House and whatever was uncomfortable for him that came out of the House was killed in the Senate. Now, he’s going to have to control his own party.” Harvey said he fully expects the gover-

nor to sign off on civil unions, but beyond that what he will support on the far left is a bit of a mystery. Some of the more extreme issues Harvey sees coming across the governor’s desk this year include same-day voter registration, immigration reform and gun control. “There are so many other important things that are going to be going through the legislature below the radar that are going to impact the citizens of Colorado,” he said. “I really want to encourage our Douglas County residents, and specifically Highlands Ranch residents, to try to follow a little more closely what’s going on and have their voice heard. Though we are the minority, we still have a voice.” Harvey will once again be serving on the Agricultural, Natural Resource and Energy Committee as well as the Appropriations Committee. He is stepping down from the Business Affairs and Labor Committee, though, and will instead serve on the State Affairs Committee, otherwise known as the “kill committee.” “I plan to articulate the free market perspective on so many of the bills that are going to be coming through that the Democrats are going to be pushing to regulate businesses, regulate health care, and push toward single-payer health care,” he said. “Though I know we can’t win, we have to articulate what the conservative Republican free-market principles are and hopefully be able to show a strong defense of the two different world views that will be in full presentation in the middle of the Capitol.”

HARVEY ON THE ISSUES • Bipartisanship: “I think there are areas where we can work together but obviously there are going to be a lot of issues that the Democrats are going to feel embolden to push since they have the majority in both chambers and the governor’s office.” • Smaller committees: “When you limit size, you are really limiting that input from the voters of the state of Colorado who elected us to go down there and represent them. It’s unfortunate that (Senate President John Morse) made them smaller. It’s telling in how partisan this president is going to be, pushing through the Democratic agenda.” • On the governor: “Hickenlooper is not tied to the Democratic environmentalists that ran the governor’s office in 2008, but obviously he’s very much in favor of same-sex marriage because he called a special session for it. He doesn’t have any problem with that issue. … Beyond that it will be interesting to see what else he signs.” • On PERA: “If we are truly going to change the long-term solvency of the fund we are going to have to change the benefits for new employees coming in the door. I’ve tried to do it for years, but the state employees union and the Democrats have fought hard to make sure that none of those reforms get passed. But people are now coming to the realization that something has got to be done or it is just going to hurt employees.”

State senator says guns could protect schools

Harvey co-sponsors bill to change Colorado law By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

Highlands Ranch Republican state Sen. Ted Harvey wants anyone with ill intent to think twice before stepping into a school. That’s why he’s co-sponsoring a bill that could allow those with concealed weapons permits to carry them on school grounds. Senate Bill 13-009, expected to garner little support in the Democratic-controlled state Legislature, would allow school boards to make that decision. Currently, state law prohibits those with concealed weapons permit from carrying firearms in gun-free zones, such as schools and privately owned businesses. “I’ve always argued that by putting up a gun-free zone, you’re just limiting the private, law-abiding citizens’ ability to protect themselves,” said Harvey, whose wife works at SkyView Academy in Highlands Ranch. many SkyView is defined as a gun-free area, conas are Aurora’s Century 16 movie theater, uana Columbine High School and some other ohol scenes of mass shootings. dical ould nted rado e it? nsure f age hase

“I think a better solution to protect our kids and protect our staff in our schools and government buildings would be to allow citizens who have passed the background check, who have gone through the training to get a conceal-carry permit, to have the ability to carry (a weapon),” Harvey said. “Police officers can’t be everywhere all the time.” A woman with such a permit killed a gunman who had fatally shot four people at Colorado Springs’ New Life Church in late 2007, and a shopper in Oregon pointed his concealed weapon at the shooter who killed two people in December before he took his own life at a Portland, Ore., mall. Robbers hesitate before breaking into homes, Harvey believes, because they don’t know what’s waiting behind the door. “It’s the sheer fact there might be a gun that is a deterrent,” he said. “If these sick individuals thought somebody in the school might be a trained firearms user, they might not target schools.” Harvey, co-sponsoring the bill with fellow Republicans Sen. Scott Renfroe of Greeley and Rep. Lori Saine of Dacono, said the idea deserves a thorough public airing. “The governor … said we need to look at all current statutes to see what we can do to make Colorado a safer place,” Harvey said. “If he’s honest about that, and the Democrats are honest about that, they have to look at this issue.”

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Turn traction to more action in state’s economy Gov. John Hickenlooper praised Colorado for its economic rebound in his State of the State address last week. We, too, like many of the signs we see. For example, the recent announcement of Redwood Trust’s expansion into Douglas County, expected to create 500-plus jobs, was yet another sign of the south metro area’s economic growth. The early weeks of a new year make for a good time to share some good numbers, stand up and put ourselves in the optimistic category. The Colorado Municipal League, a nonprofit agency that represents interests of 267 cities and towns in the state, reported last week that our state’s cities and towns fare better than most others across the nation. The organization’s State of our Cit-

OUR VIEW

ies and Towns report noted 47 percent of Colorado municipalities closed out the year with increased revenues and further noted an inverse relationship to three years ago when 46 percent reported lower revenue. To our readers, take heart that Front Range cities fared particularly well with 83 percent reporting increased revenue. As the new year progresses, we’ll be looking for the results of increased revenues in our south metro-area cities. Further the report states local econo-

mies investing in economic development activities is paying off as well – noting 88 percent of municipalities participate in one or more economic development activities. The list includes classic car shows, art festivals, beer festivals and bike races. The USA Pro Cycling Challenge that wizzed through various parts of the state in August quickly comes to mind. The partnerships to work quickly and effectively were pronounced as strong community spirit bubbled up in day-today business, volunteer efforts, in-kind contributions and the like. We witnessed these partnerships working effectively and ethically. The state added 40,000 jobs in 2012, the report said, and the work of municipalities is part of that effort as the state continues to wrestle

out of a recession period. Big picture, last year it was big news when Colorado was ranked third best state in the Beacon Hill Institute competitiveness survey — an index that compiles economic indicators in an expansive 44 categories compiled at the institute at Boston’s Suffolk University. We noticed how the report prompted local comments that the state will never again return to the boom and bust cycles it was known for, especially in the 1980s. We, too, are optimistic. So we’ll be watching and hoping to see even more traction moving forward. Colorado has a lot of good statistics, which should encourage cities, communities and businesses to dig in with their best efforts this year.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Writer wrong about believers

H. Rudy Ramsey (“Secularism does not equal immorality,” letter to the editor) suggests believers “falsely assume that nonbelievers have” no moral standards. Not exactly. Genuine believers in God know that they’ll be held to an absolute standard of morality in the next life and do their best to live up to their understanding of God’s standards every day. On the other hand, nonbelievers (and churchgoers who don’t actually believe) have no source of absolute moral standards. Ultimately that leaves them with only the moral standards that they choose

(just as government schools teach children to do). That works fine while each chooses socially compatible morals, but it breaks down when one grabs weapons and heads to the local “gun free” zone. Ramsey apparently thinks “lower ... gun ownership” among nonbelievers indicates superior morality. However, morality is in usage rather than ownership. Without the 13 colonies and their weapons, it’s unlikely Ramsey would enjoy freedom from religion. John R. Pack Parker

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Are you excited hockey is back?

Get off the sidelines and into the game Among the many lessons I have learned in the training and coaching business is this: The people who actually meet and exceed their goals and realize their dreams are the people who are willing to play the game. One of the other lessons I have learned is that there are people who want to make changes, want to pursue dreams and goals, want to get better at something but instead of getting into the game and playing, they find it easier to sit back and watch the game from the sidelines. Here we are in middle of the playoffs and you know it’s kind of like an armchair quarterback or Monday morning quarterback who likes to make idle observations, criticisms, or judgments about how others are playing the game. I find it funny whenever I observe people watching a game on television, screaming and yelling as if the players or coach can actually hear them and maybe even will talk back to them. Now it’s one thing to get excited and root, hoot, and holler for our favorite teams, it really is. But when we start yelling or screaming from our armchair all of the “woulda shoulda coulda” stuff, although it may be cathartic for some, it is really just as silly as all of the “woulda shoulda coulda” stuff we say to ourselves about our life plans. For a minute let’s just imagine close friends, family members, and maybe even perfect strangers watching our lives unfold on television. How many of them would be screaming at the top of their lungs, “You should have done this” or “why didn’t you do that?” Of course sitting in their armchair watching a high definition television with instant replay and 20/20 hindsight, it becomes easy to point out where our biggest opportunities and plays can come from and how we can possibly win. Now what if we had that same seat? What if we could step outside of what is

going on and take a look at our own game plan, look at how we are executing and performing in life? What would we be saying or even screaming at ourselves to do or change? As a Monday morning quarterback we should be able to easily reflect on what is working and what is not and make the necessary changes to our game plan. Here is the challenge and the opportunity. The challenge is that although many of us know what needs to be done to effect change, just like the armchair quarterback we never put ourselves in the game to make the changes. We simply sit on the sidelines waiting for someone else to come up with a gamewinning play. The opportunity is that the game of life is still on, there is time to put on the uniform and get into the action. We no longer have to rush to judgment or criticism when it comes to what we want to be, do, or have; instead we can rush into the game and make a difference. I would love to hear from you: Are you on the field or are you watching your game from the sidelines? If you email me at gotonorton@gmail.com I will share some best practices for moving from the armchair and into the game and then it will be a better than good week.

Following the end of one of the three longest work stoppages in the history of the National Hockey League, the abbreviated 2012-13 regular season is finally set to begin Jan. 19. We asked a sampling of locals

“I would say moderate. I get kind of down when they strike, because a shortened season is just not the same. By the time they actually get into a flow I don’t think the real good teams come out.” — Kurt Schempp, Highlands Ranch

“I don’t hold it against the players themselves, so I’ll still watch it, but I think it’s kind of a bummer that the lockout happened and that it had to come to that, with them asking for more money when they already make so much.” — Cam Miller, Denver

“Pretty low. I’m not much of a hockey person. I didn’t even know there was a lockout.” — Jennica Adkins, Denver

“On a scale of 1-10, it’s a 9. I’ve been a hockey fan ever since the Avs came to town. I like to go to the games but I like to watch it on TV too, so I’m pretty excited.” — Brian Hall, Highlands Ranch

It’s a perfect storm of annoying words The only problem, I told, like, Jennifer, with a list of the year’s most annoying words is that the people who annoy us with them will never read the list. Or if they do, they will just say, “No problem.” But seriously, there is a new “no problem.” Have you heard anyone say “no worries” lately? All of the words on the list annoy me, but I have conceded. There’s no point. I realized that about all I was doing was making myself feel superior because, like, I was not a perpetrator. No way, Jose. I am probably more highly educated than the offenders. What good is it to spell it out for them? It would be lovely if we all talked good. We never have. Not even back in the day. Jennifer and I watched Woody Allen’s brilliant little film “Zelig” recently. Leonard Zelig was a “human chameleon” who could change his appearance and profession to those of anyone he was around. If he was around black jazz musicians, he became a black jazz musician. Under hypnosis he said that he did it to fit in. My theory about the redundant, irritating, annoying, cloying, suffocating words that some ninnies use over and over and

over, is that it makes them feel like they fit in. If a high school kid were to say “didacticism” he would probably be beaten up. No one wants to beat up a kid who says “whatever.” Except me. For the third straight year, “whatever” was voted Most Annoying, closely followed by “like.” I did see a decline in the use of “like” in 2012, however. It’s still the comfort word of an age group that undoubtedly never reads this column, or any column, or anything about language literacy or communication skills. I worked with a summer session student at Arapahoe Community College who attended a college in Ohio the rest of the school year. The dear girl littered every

sentence with like, like, like. The school flew her to Ohio, and begged her to attend, even though she couldn’t competently express herself. If I met a teen who could talk I might lose consciousness. I am sure there must be a few around. I tend to be critical. I’m just saying. A friend gave me a booklet and wrote on it, “Thanks for keeping us all in line.” The booklet is titled “Don’t: A Manual of Mistakes & Improprieties more or less prevalent in Conduct and Speech. UNMUTILATED and with the Additional Matter.” Capitalizations are the publisher’s. For example: “Don’t mangle your words, or smother them, or swallow them. Speak with a distinct enunciation.” Hear, hear. “Don’t use meaningless exclamations, such as `Oh, my!’ and `Oh, crackey!’” “Don’t mispronounce vowel-sounds in unaccented syllables. Don’t say `pertater’ for `potato’ or `sentunce’ for `sentence.’ On the other hand, don’t lay too much stress on these sounds — touch them lightly but correctly.” Now really. Do you think that someone who mangles their words would bother with a booklet about words? If you have 19

kids, are you going to read a booklet about birth control? “Number 7: Why not watch a movie instead?” It will come as no surprise that word choices are a test for anyone who wants to be my friend. It partly explains why I don’t have many friends. My best friend passed every test except one. She relapsed and said “fridge.” We went to counseling. I was fostering a relationship with an attractive woman who blew it by saying “Frisco.” I thought she might be referring to our Frisco on I-70. No such luck. She was referring to San Francisco. Another deal-breaker is “veggies.” Don’t get anywhere near me with “veggies.” They are “vegetables.” By the way, I intentionally planted a bunch of other Annoying List words throughout this column. I am not completely above careless word choices my own self. Ask Jennifer. She will confirm it. You know? Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Wind production tax credit is boost for Colorado

All along Interstate 25 and throughout Colorado, wind turbines loom on the horizon. These towers, marvels of modern engineering, do more than power our homes: They create jobs and move us — with each revolution of their blades — closer to energy independence. Colorado is home to manufacturing plants and thousands of wind-energy workers who produce the towers, blades and nacelles for this growing industry. That is why I have been a vocal supporter of the wind Production Tax Credit, a vital incenty tive that has driven tens of billions of dollars in investment nationwide and helped e he plant the seeds of a cleaner energy future. Last year, however, Washington cast a way shadow over those jobs and the promise wind energy holds for Colorado and our nation when Congress refused to quickly extend the PTC before it was set to expire at the end of 2012. And we felt the effects of this inaction close to home, when Vestas and other companies laid off hundreds of Coloradans, hurting the state’s fragile economic recovery.

Oftentimes, stories of workers in Colorado and across our country facing layoffs do not make it back to Washington. That is why I took to the Senate floor, nearly every day the Senate was in session, to remind my colleagues about what the PTC means to hardworking, middle-class families in Colorado and across the United States. Thanks to the thousands of Americans who lent me their support and stories about what wind energy means to their families, businesses and communities, we were able to come together to convince Congress to extend the PTC shortly after midnight on New Year’s Day.

I was proud to lead the effort to extend the PTC, and I was humbled to have Republican and Democratic lawmakers, in both the Senate and House, join me along the way. During my many days on the Senate floor, speaking about the importance of the PTC all across our great nation, from Colorado to the Great Plains, the Pacific Northwest and the Atlantic seaboard, I had the honor of sharing with my colleagues and the nation how wind energy touches each and every one of us. I reminded the nation how our investments in wind energy — in Colorado and across the country — create jobs, strengthen our energy security and keep us ahead of our international competitors such as China. Despite this resounding success, I am concerned that Congress will fall back into its well-worn track of delaying action on the PTC until the last minute, creating even more uncertainty when the tax credit is set to expire again at the end of this year. That is why I will continue working with

my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to give this industry the certainty it needs over the coming years to create goodpaying American jobs while being fiscally responsible. That means, as the wind industry becomes more mature, responsibly phasing out the credit and passing a comprehensive energy package that creates long-term certainty for all energy sources. I strongly believe that any national energy policy we develop should reflect the success Colorado has had as an all-of-theabove energy state. Great states make things — and great countries produce their own energy. Wind power is taking us closer to the goal of a clean energy future and a strengthened manufacturing sector. I look forward to continuing to work on behalf of Coloradans everywhere to ensure that our wind energy industry remains a strong, jobcreating part of our economy. U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., serves on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

2013 outlook: Year of Snake could have interesting turns The Eastern world is celebrating the Year of the Snake. While that sounds a bit uncertain to Americans who may picture a slithering snake as a negative, the Chinese believe the snake is a sign of wisdom and intelligence. I like their version of the 2013 outlook better. Americans tend to be skeptical and after the fiasco of the fiscal cliff, most of us are ready to have a reason to be optimistic. It is difficult to discuss where we are headed without summarizing where we have been first when planning for the New Year. Last year had very distinct patterns that affected investors and consumers. Early in the year all eyes were on Europe and their debt restructuring. Next came the political uncertainty of the election and the continued political competition over the tax law changes. Finally the economic slowdown in China put more pressure on our already slow economic growth. These were the major issues that shaped 2012. Some of those concerns are going to carry over to the New Year, however in a different phase. While the tax laws have been updated, many of the provisions are temporary for one year only and the problem of the debt ceiling and the spending cuts remain. Europe has figured a way to refinance their debt but the implementation and the painful outcome of true austerity lingers. China as the world’s largest population of consumers will continue to drive markets around the world. Their growth will be very important to the world. Last year ended very positive for the financial markets, but it was not without worry or volatility. The stage is set for 2013 with continued slow growth and less concern about recession. The positive outlook

Highlands Dental is a result of several improved economic data points. Households have been paying down debt, which should increase disposable income. The banking sector appears to have recovered from their crisis and is gradually increasing lending. The U.S. housing and labor markets are gradually improving. ¹ The economic forecast for global growth is now at 2.7 percent, up just slightly from last year’s 2.5 percent. This further confirms the lower risk of recession, however 2013 will not be a cakewalk for the economy or the financial markets. The lack of robust growth since 2008 still feels a bit like a hangover. The three main issues from last year will remain with us for at least the first half of the year. The debt ceiling and spending cuts will be the priority in this country. Europe and China hopefully will start to improve. Long term there are some economic challenges, namely in the aging population in the developed world and ongoing debt issues that could continue to dampen significant growth. The year of the snake may prove to have many opportunities in a slow-growth global economy. This is a good time to review your overall strategy for the New Year.

Commissioner ‘excited’ as he takes office Partridge chosen as 2013 vice-chair

ond term in office. Repella ran unopposed in the November election and cites economic development as a continued passion during her second

term. “The most important thing to me (during my first term) is knowing families could support themselves,” Repella said. “That

was critical. If you don’t have that core element, everything else falls apart.” Repella credited the county staff for helping to create a business-friendly environment for new businesses and took advantage of her time at the lectern to recognize Korby Lintz, the county’s chief building official. Repella gave Lintz a 100-year-old handbook for the construction trade once owned by her father. Lintz’s father and Repella’s father were boyhood friends. “When people interact with our building department, they tell other people,” Repella said. “That’s what changes your reputation. (Lintz has) absolutely aided the county in turning things around and our economy is one of the strongest in Colorado and across the nation.” Repella and Partridge followed the swearing-in ceremony with the commissioners’ first business meeting of 2013, where the board selected Repella as the 2013 board chair and Partridge the vicechair. “I look forward to making great changes in Douglas County,” Partridge said. “When I’m asked `why would you get into politics?’ my answer is: `In Douglas County, why wouldn’t you? We have some of the greatest employees and greatest people in Douglas County.’”

that included attorneys, judges, prosecutors, elected officials and law enforcement agents from across the district, to recognize Brauchler’s new post overseeing cases in Colorado’s most populous judicial district. He received a standing ovation when he took the oath of office. Brauchler, who ran on a campaign promise of change in the district attorney’s office, acknowledged the high-profile cases in the district and vowed to put justice first as he takes over the prosecutorial duties. He spent part of his swearing-in day observing the Holmes preliminary hearing, he said. “I don’t want to be defined by those cases,” Brauchler said. “We should be defined by all of our cases, from the petty (violations) to the major offenses. How we treat those cases defines us as an office.” The day Brauchler stepped into the post vacated by term-limited district attorney Carol Chambers, the 18th Judicial District covered a population of more than 900,000 people and had on its dockets Colorado’s

only death-penalty cases. Encompassing the counties of Arapahoe, Douglas, Lincoln and Elbert, the district hears cases in urban areas such as Aurora, with a population of more than 332,000 people, to rural outposts such as the town of Hugo, population 729. Brauchler joined the district with Mark Hurlbert as his second-in-command. Hurlbert is the former district attorney for the Fifth Judicial District, which includes Clear Creek, Eagle, Lake and Summit counties. Hurlbert faced a term limitation and joined the 18th Judicial District as Brauchler’s assistant district attorney. The lead law enforcement agent from the most populous county in the district is among those looking forward to working with Brauchler’s office. “With (Brauchler’s) level of experience and the people he’s surrounding himself with, he’s doing it right,” said Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson. “We’re excited to be a part of that criminal justice system that he’s clearly a critical part of.”

Douglas County has partnered with local agencies on a series of public service announcements in hopes that residents at risk could receive a safety message in a safe haven. The county produced a series of videos aimed to call attention to issues impacting the lives of youth and adults in the community. The videos include features on the sheriff’s Text-a-Tip campaign for area youth; suicide prevention among teens and adults; burglary prevention; and distracted driving. The videos launched a safety campaign to put the brakes on high-risk behavior, said Tony Spurlock, Douglas County undersheriff. “The messages in these videos are based on trends, research and information about reducing risky behaviors and getting people help,” Spurlock said. “We want people to know about the resources that are available, empower them to seek help and encourage them to help others.” The online videos debuted in December with a series of 30-second

‘We want people to know about the resources that are available, empower them to seek help and encourage them to help others.’ Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock spots produced by Douglas County television services. The series covers topics that reach teens and adults. The suicide series includes spots that speak uniquely to men, women and teens and provide direction on what to say, where to go and when to get help for a potentially suicidal individual. The Text-a-Tip video points students to an easy way to tip authorities about safety threats, drugs, vandalism and concerns with other students. The spot on burglary prevention is hosted by Sheriff David Weaver with tips on how to secure a home. The final video showcases the real dangers of distracted driving, with tips on how to remain focused behind the wheel. The videos were produced with the participation of the Douglas County School District, which hoped the videos reach the right people. “These are important and impactful messages that we know our community needs to hear,” said Bill

Moffitt, the school district’s chief operations officer. “We hope that these public service announcements will have an effect — by providing information that will not only keep our students, parents and employees safer, but will allow them to take action to help others.” Helping others is a big part of the message in the safety campaign, Spurlock said. The goal is to empower residents with information necessary to spot a dangerous situation and act on it. Those who participated in the productions hope the option to review the videos from the comfort of home helps spread the messages. “The delivery of public safety messaging to Douglas County citizens and taxpayers via video allows us to leverage the investment made by the community in their smartphones and tablets,” said Commissioner Jack Hilbert, District 1. The safety videos are viewable online at www.dcsheriff.net/publicsafetyvideos/.

If recent announcements from Visa and Redwood Trust — which are bringing a combined 950 new jobs to Douglas County — are any indication of how the area business landscape is shaping up in 2013, it looks to be a good year. “We’re very positive going into 2013,” said Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce President LaRae Marsik. “In addition to new business coming in, we are already seeing businesses act earlier in the year around growth plans; whether it is opening new locations, changing locations or working on engagement strategies. People are being very proactive and innovative.” Marsik said that across the board, local businesses had tightened their belts and lowered expectations over the past few years. For that, she added, those companies are now reaping some benefits. “Is it artificial because they had gotten so tight? Is it sustainable?” she asked. “I’ll tell you what, nobody is holding their breath waiting. “In other pockets there is a great fear of trepidation, a lot of pause buttons being pressed — whether it’s because of health care, spending cuts, or taxation increases. But while everyone is waiting for those answers, we continue to see Highlands Ranch businesses put their noses to the grindstone and come up with creative business approaches.

Investment firm expands to Douglas County Redwood Trust plans 552 jobs over five years By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com The Redwood Trust financial institution is expanding to Douglas County, with the Gov. John Hickenlooper has announced. The company could bring 552 jobs to the area over the next five years. The California-based company chose Colorado for its new financial services operations center after Colorado offered economic incentives worth as much as $1.1 million. The offer came at the recommendation of the Denver Economic Development Commission, which reached a deal with Redwood Trust in less than two months, said Lynn Myers, vice president of economic development, Denver South Economic Development Partnership. The partnership worked with Redwood Trust as it decided whether to expand in California or select another location with a lower cost of doing business, Myers said. “It happened very quickly,” Myers said. “The company was very well organized. We were fortunate enough that they chose us.” Redwood Trust qualified for Colorado’s job-growth incentive tax credit, which offers a rebate of up to 50 percent of the state’s FICA tax, Myers said. To qualify, a company must be bringing in jobs that pay at least 110 percent of the local average annual wage. Redwood Trust estimates its average wage will be $66,847, which is 126 percent of Douglas County’s average annual wage. If Redwood Trust delivers 552 jobs over the next five years as promised, its tax credits will be slightly more than $2,000 for every new employee, Myers said. The company selected an Inverness location for its expansion, aiming for a commuting location convenient to Interstate 25, with parking and amenities that would draw the mortgage talent Redwood Trust is looking for, said Mike McMahon, Redwood Trust spokesman. Redwood Trust buys mortgage for investment, and securitization, McMahon said. “We are excited about coming to Colorado,” he said. “We are thrilled about the reception we received, from the governor of all things, and we feel very welcome. We hope to be a good employer and meaningful participant in Colorado, which without question is one of the more beautiful states.”

from other sectors. They are focused on what is in front of them and I think that’s a good thing.” As businesses continue to pop up in and around Town Center, nearby things are improving as well. “As far as attracting business prospects, we have a lot of activity in the buildings that are up for lease along the Highway 85 corridor,” said Amy Sherman, president of the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation.

Sherman couldn’t comment on who the prospects were as nothing is official as of yet, but she said that a lot of manufacturing and industrial businesses are looking at space right now along the corridor. “I think that will be even more attractive as a corridor as we fix the infrastructure needs there,” she said, adding that a lot of the necessary infrastructure improvements are either already in progress or in the planning stages for the area.

Former Douglas County Commissioner Melanie Worley can’t stay out of the spotlight. Having just begun a one-year term as chairwoman of the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce board of directors, Worley takes over from predecessor Angel Tuccy. “One of the reaWorley sons I wanted to be part of the board is to try and advance our agenda in so many other realms besides what we already do, to give it added excitement,” Worley said. “We want to look at things totally different. We don’t have to be a normal chamber. We don’t want to

be a chamber that follows everybody else.” Pledging her availability to the chamber’s growing membership, Worley stated at the Jan. 9 monthly chamber luncheon that she was completely dedicated to helping the chamber advance in any way she could. A commissioner for 10 years before she was term-limited in 2008, Worley is the CEO at Developmental Pathways, a large nonprofit agency that serves people with developmental disabilities in Douglas and Arapahoe counties as well as the portion of Adams County within the Aurora city limits. Worley, who also serves on the board of directors for Arapahoe/ Douglas Mental Health Network, received the Distinguished Service Award from ADMHN in 2009 for her work in helping protect benefits for mentally ill individuals. Among numerous other posts, she has been chairwoman of the Denver Regional Council of Governments, initiated the formation of the Partnership of Douglas County Governments, and received a federal appointment

to the Local Government Advisory Committee, providing local perspective to the Environmental Protection Agency. For her work in suggesting the formation of the PDCG — which brings together representatives from Douglas County, its school and library districts, Castle Rock, Larkspur, Parker, Castle Pines, Lone Tree and Highlands Ranch — the county began annually giving out the Melanie A. Worley Civic Engagement Award in 2008 to an individual or group that demonstrates excellence in the creation of collaborative community partnerships that promote understanding of civic engagement. “What is so fantastic about Melanie is that she brings such a diversity of perspective,” said Highlands Ranch Chamber President LaRae Marsik. “She has served the community, her own constituency, and the citizens of the state working with Gov. (John) Hickenlooper in her past. “She is excited to put that experience to work with us at the chamber and we are equally thrilled to have her at the helm of the board.”

Two Highlands Ranch homes hit by cars December featured cases of vehicle vs. house By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com

Twice in December, Highlands Ranch residents had the unfortunate experience of a car driving into their homes. Shortly before midnight on Dec. 22, a onvehicle driven by Miguel Deluna, 33, of ng isLongmont, drove through the intersection a lotof Broadway, Lucent and Burgundy Drive, busi-crashing through a fence and into the side nowof the garage at 10 Burgundy Drive. Deluna is being charged by the Douglas e at-County Sheriff’s Office with driving a vehie in-cle without a valid license, failing to notify said,police of an accident, leaving a scene withy in-out providing information to authorities, ithercareless driving, and driving under the inning

fluence of alcohol, drugs or both. The fence has since been replaced and the garage has been boarded up at the point of impact. According to Sgt. Ron Hanavan, spokesman for the sheriff’s office, a gas line was also damaged on the property, but has since been repaired. Earlier in the month, the Douglas County Building Division responded to an emergency call at 9705 Wedgewood Drive after a vehicle ran into the residence shortly before noon on Dec. 5. The vehicle, traveling south on Burntwood Way, crossed the northbound lane of traffic, went through the fence surrounding the property and struck a hot tub and the corner of the two-story home, dislodging corner wall studs on a load-bearing wall. No injuries were reported in either incident and both homes were deemed still safe to occupy.

There is an appeal under way in the federal case that put Brandon Richter, 38, of Highlands Ranch, and Tor Olson, 37, of Parker, behind bars on Dec. 21. Richter, owner and CEO of Denver-based Executive Recycling Inc., and Olson, the former vice president of operations, were found guilty on multiple counts of mail and wire fraud, numerous environmental crimes related to the illegal disposal of electronic waste, smuggling and obstruction. But defense attorney Pamela Mackey claims that the jury was given improper and misleading instructions by Judge William J. Martinez that violated due process. According to her, when Martinez issued the instructions to the jury, he added to the law in question a statement of guidance that was issued in 2004 by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “That was not the law when our clients were deciding what they could and could not do,” Mackey said. “It still isn’t the law. If you change the law, that is a violation of the due process clause … and you can’t do that. “What the regulations say is that if a recycler can resell, reuse, refurbish or donate the used electronic device or component then it is not waste, and that’s what we were doing, we were reselling used electronic devices.” The guidance that Martinez added to the

instruction, according to Mackey, said that the recycler has to reuse, refurbish, resell or donate the used electronic device or component “for its original intended purpose” or they are in violation. According to the indictment, the company collected electronic waste from private households, businesses and government entities, loaded the cargo at their Denver facility and then shipped it by rail and ship to China and smaller, Third World countries. Richter was responsible for supervising all aspects of the company, while Olson ran day-to-day operations. Both men were found guilty of seven counts of wire fraud, each count of which carries a penalty of up to 20 years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. They also each face up to 10 years and another $250,000 fine for one count of exportation contrary to law. Executive Recycling as a corporation faces a $500,000 fine per count for seven wire fraud counts, or twice the gross gain or loss. The corporation also faces a conviction for one count of failure to file notification of intent to export hazardous waste, which carries a penalty of a $50,000 fine per day of violation, or twice the gross gain or loss. Additionally, the corporation faces one count of exportation contrary to law, which carries a penalty of $500,000 fine or twice the gross gain or loss. The appeal, Mackey said, will be made after sentencing takes place in April. Mackey was the defense attorney for Kobe Bryant’s Eagle County sexual assault case in 2004 that eventually was dropped when his accuser became unwilling to testify.

Marijuana task force gets to work Members sailing uncharted waters after vote on amendment By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com When Colorado voters passed Amendment 64, legalizing the personal possession, use and home growing of marijuana, the state faced the challenge of developing the rules and regulations so the amendment can be implemented. The first step to deal with challenges came when Gov. John Hickenlooper created the 24-member Amendment 64 Task Force on Dec. 10 because, while voters legalized marijuana in Colorado, all aspects remain illegal under federal law. “The task force met for the first time Dec. 17 and since then, we have set up five working groups, each tasked with investigation of a specific area dealing with implementation of Amendment 64,” said state Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, who is a task force member. “All the meetings of the task force and the working groups are posted on the state Department of Revenue’s website. All those meetings are open to the public and there is a public comment period at every meeting.” Pabon said working groups tackle one of five major subject areas: local authority and control; consumer safety and social issues; regulatory framework; criminal law issues and tax; and funding and civil law issues. “One or two task force members heads each of the working groups,” the state representative said. “Then, each working group calls on ex-

perts in the specific fields to help us develop our recommendations because we want to get it right, because this will be a basis for the framework for the future of these issues.” Pabon is a member of the regulatory framework working group. He said the committee is like the hub of a wheel with the other working groups as the spokes, since the recommendations will be the basis of determining what is legal and what isn’t. “This has been a fascinating challenge,” he said. “Our first challenge was to educate ourselves so we can understand the nuances of a new industry. There is very little precedent to draw on but we did look at the regulations dealing with liquor, gambling and medical marijuana. These regulations have been tested by time and they became sort of a template as we looked at what worked and what didn’t to help us as we sought to create rules for issues that didn’t exist prior to the November election.” The Regulatory Framework Working Group meets almost weekly, and Pabon said it is usually standing room only at every meeting. “I expected there to be two groups on opposite sides of the issue, but it was refreshing to see there is a lot of common ground,” he said. “The common ground provides a good starting point as we work to develop our recommendations.” The task force also faced the challenge of being required to develop the recommendations and present them to the state Legislature not later than Feb. 28. The Legislature then must take action and pass the rules and regulations that are required to be in place not later than July 1 so all the aspects of Amendment 64 can be implemented in January 2014.

Of ice and men People — and pets — can face danger on frozen ponds By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Whether you have two legs or four, ice is never safe. That’s what Capt. Dan Goldan of South Metro Fire Rescue’s dive rescue team wants residents to know about walking on frozen ponds and lakes. Since the fall of 2009, South Metro has responded to 14 ice rescues, according to public information officer Andy Lyon. Six of those were animal rescues. “People assume the ice is safe,” said Goldan. “While thicker ice will hold more weight, there is no way to tell if it’s truly safe or not, until you have fallen through, and then it is too late.” Goldan explained that while several factors affect how ice is formed, and how much weight it can support, the best way to prevent an accident is for people and pets to simply stay away.

Man accused in shooting caught in N.M. 25 to County Line Road around 8 a.m. when F i e l d s stepped in front of her vehicle and fired Fields one shot through the windshield, striking her. The victim, who was not identified by authorities, is expected to make a full recovery. Fields allegedly fled the scene on a blue Kawasaki motorcycle. He has a current case for stalking in Douglas County, for which he was ordered to wear a GPS ankle monitor as a condition of his pre-trial bond. Authorities say Fields removed the monitor at some

Dogs, in particular, like to chase ducks and geese across a frozen pond, often putting them at risk. Frantic pet owners, in turn, can put their own lives in danger by attempting to rescue an animal that has fallen through. While it may be tough to resist helping a struggling person or pet, Goldan said the first thing to do is call 911 Don’t try to rescue people or animals alone. “If a person or a 40-pound dog has already fallen through the ice, you are guaranteed to do the same, turning you into another victim,” explained Goldan. “The fire department responds with specialized ice rescue suits and is trained to rescue both people and animals.” Lyon said ice water rescues are extremely dangerous. “Icy water can sap a person’s heat, and their ability to move their arms and legs, in just a matter of minutes,” he said. “We might also point out that, in a fair number of cases, animals are able to get out of the water by themselves, but we still want people to call 911 whenever they see an animal go through the ice.”

A man suspected of shooting and injuring his ex-girlfriend in the Inverness business center has been caught. Christopher Lyle Fields, 27, was immediately named by authorities as a person of interest in the Jan. 9 case and was apprehended near Raton, N.M. around 2:30 p.m. the same day. Hours earlier, investigators say the female victim was driving northbound on the off-ramp from Interstate

time during the shooting incident and discarded it near the crime scene, where it was found by Douglas County Sheriff’s Office investigators. Fields was arrested roughly six hours after the shooting, and troopers with the New Mexico State Police said they found a handgun on his person. He will be charged with attempted first-degree murder, and additional charges could be added as the investigation continues. Extradition procedures have been initiated to return Fields to Colorado. The date of his first court appearance was not available. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office established a perimeter around the crime scene in the hours after the shooting. Several Douglas County schools were placed on lockdown, including Chaparral High School in Parker and Lone Tree Elementary. The shooting occurred just east of Park Meadows mall. Some workers in an office building at 8310 S. Valley Highway, which is adjacent to the scene, were unaware of what happened. There did not appear to be any evacuations. Anyone with information about the case should call the Douglas County tip line at 303-660-7579.

Joey isn’t your everyday horse

Nathan Hiltman’s sister, Madison, spreads out some of the postcards that her brother has received from all over the world. Photos by Courtney Kuhlen

A view of the world Child losing his vision, but postcards provide global tour

Hyatt may transform Loews

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com When 9-year-old Nathan Hiltman was diagnosed with optic atrophy in July, his mom decided to try her best to help him see the world before losing his vision. The mission doesn’t involve long flights to exotic and expensive locales on the other side of the world. Stacey Hiltman’s solution was simple, yet ingenious: postcards. The plan was to put the call out to friends and relatives on her blog, as well as through Facebook. But as with all good ideas, word spread like wildfire. It was helped along considerably when Nathan’s older sister, Madison, presented the strategy in November to her Pine Grove Elementary fifthgrade class during show-and-tell. The heartwarming story had some in tears, and Madison’s teacher informed colleagues and parents about the cause. A parent who works at a Denver television news station asked if she could pitch the story to producers, and the rest, as they say, is history. The piece went viral, and pretty soon the Hiltmans’ story was being picked up by new outlets as far away as Malaysia. “It’s really quite unreal because it went from honestly just my 200 friends and family on Facebook to us saying, `We don’t know what’s going on, could you send us some postcards?’” Stacey Hiltman said. The result has been astounding. As of Jan. 4, just two weeks after the story first aired, the family had received well over 1,000 postcards from all over the globe, including a stack from a Littleton woman who has been collecting postcards her entire life, but decided they could be put to better use. The vivid imagery of monuments and historic places brought the world to the Hiltman’s Parker living room. Other offers began flooding in, too. A Parker woman wants to take Nathan flying in her small plane, and a man from South Carolina offered to fund a trip overseas for the entire family. That man has an autistic son, and Nathan has a high-functioning form of the neurological disorder. Nathan’s dad, Jay, said the offers have been incredibly generous, but they cannot accept such extravagant gifts.

Joey is a featured life-sized puppet presented by the Handspring Puppet Company that brings breathing, galloping, and charging horses to thrilling life on stage in this production of “War Horse,” the Broadway hit playing the Buell Theatre through 20. Here are Joey’s stats: • Joey weighs 120 pounds and is handmade by 14 people. Its frame is mostly cane, soaked, bent and stained. • An aluminum frame along the spine, lined partly with leather for comfort, allows the horse to be ridden. • Stretched, hosiery-like Georgette fabric makes up the “skin” beneath the frame. • A puppeteer at the head controls the ears and head; one in the heart controls breathing and front legs; a third in the hind controls the tail and back legs. • A harness connects the puppet’s and puppeteer’s spines so his or her movements become the breathing of the horse. Tickets are available only by calling either 303-893-4100 or at www.dcpa.org. Beware of scalpers selling tickets on the Internet because they are more often than not fraudulent.

Nathan Hiltman, 9, looks at postcards with his mother, Stacey Hiltman, and sister, Madison, on Jan. 4 in their Parker home. Since Nathan’s story aired on television, the Hiltmans have been sent postcards from all over the world.

‘That was one of my proud moments of being a dad. Because you always want the best for your kids.’ Jay Hiltman However, he said the family will consider a proposal from a Montrose woman who raises Labradoodle service dogs for the visually impaired and wants to give one to the third-grader. Another woman wants to donate a magnifying device that will help Nathan better see his homework. “There are certain things we can’t refuse,” Stacey Hiltman said. The last year has been filled with ups and downs for the family. Countless doctors were unable to pinpoint the reason for Nathan’s progressive loss of sight. After the optic atrophy diagnosis, Jay Hiltman had difficulty coming to grips with the fact that his son would never ride a bike or play sports again. But there is one shining moment, one that was caught on video, that Nathan’s dad eagerly shares with people. It shows Nathan’s youth basketball team graciously handing him the ball — at the

direction of his coaches who wanted every player to make a basket before the end of the season — and heaving it cleanly through the hoop. The entire gymnasium exploded. Parents were cheering and crying at the same time. The coaches and refs were high-fiving Nathan, whose friend told him what the excitement was all about. A time-out was called and Nathan can be seen running to hug his mom. “That was one of my proud moments of being a dad. Because you always want the best for your kids,” Jay Hiltman said. Now the family is humbled once again by support from the public. Postcards from strangers continue to flood in to help a young boy discover the wonders that life has to offer. Those who wish to donate postcards to Nathan can send them to 10544 Oakmoor Circle, Parker, CO 80134.

The Loews Denver Hotel in Glendale is being sold to Hyatt, and will be transformed into a Hyatt Place as of Feb. 21, according to a super-secret source. According to my spy, she discussed the ownership change with a manager who confirmed the impending brand transition. No one from the City of Glendale nor from Hyatt could be reached as of deadline. If the flag does change, that will mean severely altering Loews, which considers itself a luxury brand, to a mid-line Hyatt product, which typically is an 11-story hotel with between 125 to 200 rooms located in an urban, suburban or airport location, according to the www.hyatt.com website description. Hyatt Place hotels are often compared to Marriott’s Courtyard brand. The sale of the Loews property was completed on Dec. 20, and the hotel is only accepting reservations through Feb. 28. Hyatt Place brands feature suite-type amenities with big-screen TVs, free wifi access and a complimentary hot breakfast daily. Hyatt Places also include meeting rooms for small corporate events. Room prices are roughly $129 a night. I will let you know more deets as they become available.

La La land

Former Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony and wife, La La, have been living separately, according to an item last week in the New York Post. “It is true they haven’t seen much of each other in the past few months,” a friend of the couple told the gossip column Page Six. “She’s been away a lot filming her show, `La La’s Full Court Life,’ in London, New York and LA. They are not separated and are still together. She and Melo have a house in LA — so she’s always there when she’s doing auditions.” However, another source contradicts that point of view. “They have been living separately for several months now,” that source says. “She’s been living in LA while Carmelo has been in New York.” According to The Post, “Sources add that La La’s also been partying with girlParker continues on Page 22

Veteran Denver director Terry Dodd, who writes about the relevance of this play in his director’s notes, has helped Murphy mold a strong look at an era not so long ago

— one with ongoing drama. In addition to tension with LBJ, RFK as attorney general had ongoing conflict with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and his relentless search for Communists. He describes a disapproving Hoover’s arrival in his office one day when it was filled with his children and dogs. On a more scholarly track, he turned to the Greek playwright Aeschylus on sleepless nights and at other times, quoting: “The first casualty of war is the truth.” Driven to excel, he ran a successful campaign for the Senate, coached by brother Teddy when he was elected. He continued opposition to the war in Vietnam, horrified by the bombing of entire villages, and was constantly on the move. He campaigned for better conditions for the disadvantaged of all races. Accounts of travel to Europe, South Africa, South America, talk about the riots in the U.S. and James Meredith’s attempt to attend the University of Mississippi, interaction with Martin Luther King and many more references to the period lead one to walk out with a head filled with images and memories. The selection of segments from speeches and running commentary on events of the day lead us logically to his decision to run for president, a loss in Oregon and win in California — and assassination there in June 1968 — at age 42.

With blackboard space next to the words “Before I die I want to …” the mural invites visitors to pick up a piece of chalk, reflect on their lives, and share their personal aspirations in a public space. The mural was installed in Denver’s Sonny Lawson Park by the Community Coordinating District No. 1 last summer and moved to the McNichols Building grounds in early December. The original “Before I Die …” mural was built in New Orleans, where artist Chang transformed the side of an abandoned house in her neighborhood into a giant chalkboard and stenciled it with the sentence.

Proud papa

Denver sports radio and TV personality Mark McIntosh has a reason to brag about his son. “My son Kyle is a comedy writer in Los Angeles. He’s working on a new show that will air its first season starting Jan. 16,” Mark announced on his Facebook page. The sketch comedy series, called “Kroll Show” on Comedy Central, satirizes “our television-obsessed culture and the rabid fan base it breeds,” according to the description on www.comedycentral.com. “More than just a collection of sketches, Kroll Show is about giving Nick (Kroll’s) fans a chance to see his of-the-moment take on pop culture, sports news (and more).” Check out some video clips at: www.comedycentral.com/ shows/kroll-show.

The next stop is Costa Mesa, Calif., followed by Tempe, Ariz., and Seattle — a long drive. Each stop is at least a week. Later in the spring, they will have to make a decision about committing to another year, if a contract is offered. ”I love the show, but we do have a home in New York,” she said. She doubts that the show will return to Denver next year. “There are logistical issues — we travel with nine semis …” In addition to the national touring company, companies are presently playing in London’s West End and in Toronto, and the Broadway production closed Jan. 13. “War Horse” is based on a young adult novel by Michael Morpurgo and was adapted by Nick Stafford. It tells of young Albert and his beloved horse, Joey, who is enlisted to fight for the English in World War I. The horse is caught in a no-man’s-land between enemies and Albert, too young to enlist, embarks on a mission to bring him home. The company is directed by Bijan Sheibani, based on the original Tony Awardwinning direction by Marianne Elliott and Tom Morris. Does Reed recall a favorite role? She talks of playing Barbara in the powerful “August Osage County” at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. In fact, she made a flying trip to New York to audition for the role while she was performing in Denver in the cast of “The Whale.”

‘Tenor’ has comic tone ThunderRidge students stage well-known show By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com Drama students at ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch will open Jan. 24 with playwright Ken Ludwig’s well-known comedy “Lend Me a Tenor,” running at 7 p.m. three nights through Jan. 26. Director Kylene Hurley is assisted by student assistant director

Caitlin Ard in shaping this classic farce, which promises slamming doors, mistaken identities and a series of mishaps regarding Il Stupendo, Tito Morelli (Ben Whaley), the famous tenor. A Cleveland opera company, circa 1934, awaits Morelli’s appearance in “Othello,” his most famous role. But he arrives late, drunk and not in condition to appear. In fact, he passes out and they fear he is dead. Young aspiring tenor Max (Austin Wood) is rushed into the costume and onstage to sing the role, encouraged by Saunders (Caleb Holden), the general manager. When the singer comes to, there is further confusion. Which

singer is really Il Stupendo? Other cast members are: Maggie (Katie Rudolph); Maria (Cass Jacoby); Bellhop (Connor Jurrens); Diana (Alyssa Stephens); and Julia (Elise Colllins). The prolific playwright, Ken Ludwig, has had six Broadway hits and an equal number in London’s West End. For some years the Harvard Law School graduate also practiced law in Washington, D.C., but now he spends his days writing. An online bio quotes him as saying he was hooked on theater at age 6, when his parents took him to see Gore Vidal’s “Visit to a Small Planet” on Broadway and he knew he wanted to write plays.

had and a very good photo of this energetic longtime member, who was totally involved in saving the old depot and re-purposing it as an art gallery. Bicentennial funds helped, and she and other Guild members organized community fundraisers, managed an agreement with the City of Littleton, the depot’s owner, and organized friends and families to scrub and polish the old building, readying it for a second century of community life. The nearby caboose was acquired in 1979. Littleton Museum director Bob McQuarrie oversaw the project, which opened as a gallery in 1978, replicating the depot’s appearance in 1902. A bay window in front holds a desk where the stationmaster held forth and a raised platform at the back of the room held baggage and freight. In addition to handsome, large watercolor and oil landscapes, Kelly’s sketchbooks and smaller drawings are grouped, and pages of the guild’s huge scrapbook are open to newspaper clippings featuring this active member. Kelly was still creating and selling intricate beaded pins in her late years, and juried a show as recently as two years ago, a bright and cheerful nonagenarian. Her contributions to Littleton’s extensive art community will be long remembered, with the cozy red depot in its place near the tracks. A framed sketch Kelly made and contributed for the “Save the Depot” campaign rests on a table filled with memorabilia, including a few remaining beaded pins.

Arts center chief returns to Littleton McNab traveled far after living in city as child

proposal and a business plan for that center. She said her husband is a developer and moves were related to projects he was working with. Her undergraduate degree was in sociology from George Mason University in Virginia (1974). A master’s degree from the University of Maryland/Baltimore was earned in 1996. She worked in a congressional office in Washington, taught in Zimbabwe and in England, and was a development officer for the University of Arizona. Since entering the arts field, she has participated in related committees, boards and seminars and with presentations and panels focused on art and economic development — a topic that will be important to her new Littleton position. She is excited about the Town Hall board of directors, with Linda Scott as new president, and looks forward to working with them to keep successful programs going. She hopes to expand children’s programming for Town Hall and perhaps to bring some new audiences to the Thursday Preview Nights before a production opens. In Grand Junction, people with disabilities were invited to dress rehearsals and she looks to make that connection and others in Littleton. She is also looking for other possible community connections and would welcome contacts.

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Cheryl McNab, Town Hall Arts Center’s new executive director, lived in Littleton as a child, but grew up in the Washington, D.C., area due to her father’s career. She brings skills and experiences that she has gathered across the country and abroad and is excited about the “community ownership everyone takes of Town Hall.” She started the new position in December and had an early emergency when a child in the “Sound of Music” cast became ill and they had to cancel a sold-out matinee performance. Fortunately, the box office keeps phone numbers for every ticket sold in the 250seat theater, so staff was able to reach most ticketholders. By evening, they found a girl who had played the part in Evergreen, who could come in and sing, and although there was no time to teach her cues, the show went on. The “Sound of Music” production broke Town Hall records for attendance, which was a really nice way for her to begin her new job.

Red-hot Rutz rolls through tournament ThunderRidge senior dominant at Legend Invite By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com PARKER - Kyndall Rutz propped open a door and stepped outside of the Legend gymnasium into the bitter cold during Saturday’s Legend Invitational Dual Meet Wrestling Tournament. That was the only thing that cooled off the 113-pound wrestler from ThunderRidge. Rutz won all of his five matches, four by technical falls and one by a pin. “Being in the gym all day with everybody, I decided to get some fresh air,” said Rutz. “I was expecting to be out there for a minute or two but I had to come back in because it was pretty cold.” Rutz, ranked No. 2 in his weight division by On The Mat, has lost only once this season. “He’s having a good year,” said ThunderRidge coach Casey Paul. “His one loss was to a kid (Cherry Creek’s Zach Finesilver) that made the state finals last year. That was when he was at 120 pounds. He’s gone down to 113.” Rutz has placed fifth in the

Class 5A state tournament the past two years. “This year has been different,” explained Rutz. “It’s my senior year and I have to get as much as I can in these last two months. I thought 120s was an alright weight class for me but I felt I could perform better at 113. “I’d have to say technique and speed are my best assets. You can outmuscle a lot of people but not a lot of people have the speed and technique to beat kids that are stronger. I can wrestle a kid and he can be stronger but if I have the mentality to be stronger in my position and you are quicker, then by all rights I should be able to win that match.” Rutz is putting in extra work this season. “In practice I’ll do more sprints than everybody else and once practice is over, I’ll stay out for a couple more minutes and drill with coaches. “If I stay out after practice and work on some stuff, I feel like I have kind of mastered and tweaked a move and made it better so I can take it out in the competition world and be able to use it. I’m just trying to take kids down and get ready for that tournament in February down at the Pepsi Center.”

ThunderRidge’s Matthew Stanley, top, wrestles Rock Canyon’s Bendon Frazier Jan. 12 during the Legend High School Invitational Wrestling Tournament. Courtney Kuhlen ThunderRidge finished fifth in the tournament which was won by Mesa Ridge. Legend wound up taking second place. One of the wrestlers leading the Titans was 170 pounder Colton Fries who had his nose taped after butting heads with another wrestler during this third match of the day. Fries, a Titans linebacker/running back who led the Pioneer League in tackles, won all five of his matches, two by decisions and three by pins. “It’s tiring but it’s fun to get out

there and get five matches,” said Fries. “I love wrestling. I was sixth as a sophomore at the state tournament and didn’t place last year. “Obviously, I’d like to win it all this season but I’d like to go down to the Pepsi Center and get myself a place on the podium.” Brandon Champagne, Legend’s 160-pound wrestler, was also undefeated in the tournament. “Colton did real good and Brandon went undefeated,” said Legend coach Nick Rider. “If we wrestle like we did in this tournament, we’ll be okay.”

Roundup: Sports luncheon set for Friday By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com The National Girls and Women in Sports luncheon will be held Friday at 11 a.m. at Chaparral High School. There will be 135 girls from Douglas County middle schools and high schools who will be honored at the luncheon. The event is hosted by the Douglas County Educational Foundation and Douglas County School District to recognize young women who exhibit outstanding athletic accomplishments and character in the Douglas County schools.

ROUGH SCHEDULE - Mountain Vista’s hockey teams played four games in four nights, winning twice and losing two contests. The Golden Eagles (6-2-0 in the Peak Conference and 9-3-0 overall) had an abbreviated roster of 12 players for three of the games because several players were missing because they were playing on club teams in Canada. “We were tired halfway through the third game and it caught up with us,” said Mountain Vista coach Lev Cohen. Five different players scored in a 5-1 conquest of Pine Creek while Tanner Gillis and Devin Jarvis each had two goals in the 5-0

shutout of Rampart. Dalton Horne tallied two goals in a 6-3 setback to Fountain Valley and Evan Hunchar scored a hat trick in a 6-4 loss to Air Academy. VALOR CHRISTIAN TIES Cody Letsinger and Ben Joseph scored in Valor Christian 2-2 tie against Lewis Palmer. The Eagles are 3-2-1 in conference play and 6-3-1 overall. VALOR INVITATIONAL ThunderRidge’s Annie Ochitwa won the 200 freestyle (1:59.97) and 100 breaststroke (1:08.59) at the Valor Invitational Swim Meet. Rock Canyon freshman Madeline Lacy captured the 100 butterfly (59.00) and the Jaguars’ Nicole

Cassou was the winner of the 500 freestyle (5:19.12). SMOKY HILL INVITATIONAL -Chaparral won the Smoky Hill Invitational swim meet with 500 points. Heritage was second and Mountain Vista third. Taila Colalancia of Chaparral captured the 100 butterfly (1:00.03), Legend’s Lauren Moden was first in the 500 freestyle (24.73) finals, Chaparral’s Makenna Wilson notched the win in the 200 individual medley (2:15.35) and Heritage’s Mary Hinton won both the 200 freestyle (1:56.54) and 500 freestyle (5:08.69). Chaparral won all three relay events.

Balanced Falcons romp past Denver East Highlands Ranch has little trouble with Angels in top-10 showdown By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com HIGHLANDS RANCH - There are no stars on the Highlands Ranch girls basketball team, just a bunch of role players. That in no way means the Falcons don’t have good players, it’s just that from game to game there seems to be different girls stepping forward to lead the team. “Everyone does their role,” explained Highlands Ranch coach Caryn Jarocki. “CC (Ciera Morgan) plays her role at the point, Shelby (Hickey) and Abo (Abriana Lujan) on the wing and Kelsey (Wainright) and Maddie (Madison Montgomery) inside. “We try to get everybody to rebound. We try to involve everyone in the offense and

we try to allow the open person to shoot the ball.” Emily Childress and Symone Starks provide most of the spark off the bench. In a Jan. 8 game against then-No. 8 Denver East, Jarocki shuffled eight players in and out of the lineup and the Falcons pulled away in the second half for a 53-34 win that pushed fifth-ranked Highlands Ranch’s record to 8-3 prior to last Tuesday’s game against Doherty. Montgomery, a 6-foot senior who has committed to Long Beach State, scored 11 points and blocked five shots. Hickey, a 5-10 senior, sparked a third quarter surge and finished with 10 points. Starks, a quick 5-4 freshman, added nine points. “We’re very unselfish,” said Montgomery. “We always talk about being a team. Our offense is set up so everyone gets a shot. If somebody is hot, we’re going to find her because it’s all about winning as a team.” Montgomery has provided the Falcons

with a shot-blocking threat inside but she often flirts with foul trouble. “I work in practice, just staying on the floor and working real hard on trying to block it once they release the ball and getting it so I can’t foul them,” said Montgomery. “But I’m always looking for the block because it’s so exciting. You can’t go for every block because it’s just not smart. You definitely have to control it.” Montgomery, the team’s leading scorer with an 11.5 points per game average, couldn’t play last season because she transferred from Regis Jesuit. However, she was allowed to play on the junior varsity team. “There were times when I was frustrated because I was so aggressive and wanted to play with the varsity,” she said. “In the long run, it was all worth it because of the people I’m with and the community this school has is great. “I learn so much here. Coach J is such a great coach. Last year was a long year but it

was all worth it.” Jarocki, who has guided the Falcons to seven state championships in the past 12 seasons, learned something early this season when Morgan missed five games with a leg injury. “Having her back helps because now everybody is shifted back into their comfortable position,” said Jarocki. “With her out people were playing out of position and it wasn’t much fun.” Morgan, a 5-9 junior, is averaging 7.6 points while quarterbacking the balanced Highlands Ranch offense that has every regular contributing. Wainright chips in a scoring average of 10.9, Lujan 9.8, Starks 6.8 and Hickey 6.7. Jarocki, however, knows the Falcons aren’t ready for prime time just yet. And, she knows what she is talking about. “We still have a ways to go,” said Jarocki who has coached seven Falcons’ seven state championship teams starting in 2000. “I’m not that confident right now.

Senior has record-setting night in big win

Valor Christian improves to 12-2

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Katrina Bacovcin scored 33 points to set a school record as No. 7 Chaparral posted an 83-36 win over Montbello. The 6-foot senior broke the previous record of 32 points established by Sam Martin. Bacovcin, who has committed to play next season at Idaho State, is averaging 13.1 points a game this season. “Katrina is one of our best players,” said Chaparral coach Tony Speights. “She’s having a nice year. She has done a great amount of work on her game since she has been here. “Against Montbello she just kind of got on a roll and started knocking down shots. She has the ability to make shots from all over the court as well as attacking the basket. As her coach, I could not be more happy for her.” WARRIORS WIN - Unbeaten and top-ranked Arapahoe began Centennial League play with a 37-35 win over Cherry Creek and a 50-33 conquest of Smoky Hill. Ten of 11 players scored against Creek and the Warriors (11-0) displayed more balanced scoring against Smoky Hill with Kera Riley leading the way with 11 points. TOP TEN BATTLE Rock Canyon, ranked sixth in last week’s Class 5A poll, collected a 58-47 victory over No. 5 Palmer. Lexy Thorderson had 17 points while Kendall Koslosky added 16 and Erin McClarie 11 for the Jaguars

Bradbury scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead Valor Christian to a 48-23 win over Pueblo Central last week. Photo by Andy Carpenean (8-2). FALCONS WIN - In another battle of teams ranked in last week’s top 10, No. 4 Highlands Ranch took charge in the second half to earn a 53-34 win over No. 8 Denver East. Madison Montgomery led the way for the Falcons with 11 points. BIG VICTORY - Mountain Vista shot only 23 percent from the field but still won by 34 points as the Golden Eagles smashed Montbello, 57-23. Chelsea Pearson scored 15 points for the winners. STREAK SNAPPED Castle View’s seven-game winning streak was snapped as unbeaten Regis notched a 59-33 Continental League win over the Sabercats. Taylor Nynas had 13 points for Castle View in the setback. SECOND HALF SURGE - Ponderosa outscored Thornton 42-11 in the second half enroute to a 70-37 victory. Kari Keogh had a gamehigh 24 points for the Lady Mustangs. LEGEND LOSS - Sophomore Joey Sale had 11 points but it wasn’t enough as Pine Creek pinned a 3831 loss on Legend. THIRD STRAIGHT Littleton shutout Denver

North in the second period and cruised to its third straight victory with a 69-20 win over the Vikings. Laura Puchino scored 14 points and her sister Stephanie added 13 for the Lions. Heritage failed to end its losing skid as the Eagles lost their fourth game in a row with a 60-35 setback to Palmer. VALOR ON TOP - Kendall Bradbury, a 5-11 sophomore, scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead Valor Christian to a 4823 win over Pueblo Central. LUTHERAN ROLLS Lutheran, the state’s second ranked Class 2A team, overwhelmed St. Mary’s Academy 58-18 and throttled Evangelical Christian 5740 as Kassidy Kyle led the team with 12 points in each game. NEW RANKINGS - Regis jumped over Arapahoe into the top spot in the Class 5A girls basketball poll released Monday. Both Regis and No. 2 Arapahoe are unbeaten. Highlands Ranch was ranked third, Rock Canyon fifth and Chaparral sixth giving the Continental League five teams among the top six teams in the rankings. Lutheran remained second in the Class 2A poll.

Junior Chase Foster led Valor Christian, the state’s top-ranked Class 4A boys team, to a pair of victories last week. Foster, a 6-foot-5 junior, had 24 points and 12 rebounds in a 74-64 victory over Aurora Central and tossed in 23 points with 11 rebounds in the Eagles’ 65-58 triumph over Gateway. Valor Christian entered action this week with a 12-2 record and was ranked No. 1 in the latest poll released Monday. DENVER EAST ROMPS - Mitch Parsons, the highly-sought 6-foot-5 tight end, had his best all-round game of the basketball season in Chaparral’s 78-63 loss to topranked Denver East. Parsons had six points, seven assists, one blocked shot and five rebounds in the loss that left the Wolverines with a 6-7 record. “He’s really getting his basketball legs back. He’s moving a lot better,” said Chaparral coach Rob Johnson. “He just does little things really well. Coming off football, it’s a different speed for him. “He’s jumping as high as I’ve ever seen him jump and he weighs 240 pounds. He’s an amazing athlete.” Sophomore Chris Moody had 21 points and nine rebounds to pace the Wolverines which outrebounded the Angels 26-18. “The thing you worry about with East is their ability to rebound and being physical around the rim,” said Johnson. “I thought we did as well as we’ve ever done in our matchup there. We were physical on the rim right with them. We played hard. Their speed kind of got us.” A night earlier East beat ThunderRidge (7-4) 73-53 in a rematch of last season’s third round state playoff game. ThunderRidge won the 2012 post-season game, 52-49, but couldn’t stop the Angels this season despite Peter Howell’s 12 points and 11 rebounds. TITANS, FALCONS WIN - Jonathan Cosmann scored 17 points to lead the Legend Titans (8-2) to a 56-42 victory over Palmer. Highlands Ranch (8-3) made only 8-of21 free throws but still collected a 60-58 win over Thomas Jefferson, the state’s fifth ranked Class 4A team. Evan Motlong had a game-high 19 points

for the Falcons. NARROW LOSS -- Douglas County missed two attempts to tie the game in the closing seconds and dropped a 67-63 decision to Doherty. Calvin Cooke and Ryley Stewart each had 17 points for the Huskies (4-7). ARAPAHOE SPLITS - Arapahoe split its first two Centennial League games, losing 59-57 at Cherry Creek but rebounding with a 95-48 win over Smoky Hill in which six players scored in double figures. PEMBERTON LEADS GOLDEN EAGLES - Jake Pemberton scored 20 points in visiting Mountain Vista’s 70-56 win over Montbello as the second-ranked Golden Eagles improved their record to 11-0. WINNING STREAK -- Zach Mattice’s scored 15 points and hit some clutch free throws to help Castle View defeat Thornton, 49-39, to seal the Sabercats’ fourth consecutive win. Matt Dowsey had a team-high 18 points for Castle View (5-6). ROCKY QUARTER -- Rock Canyon (5-6) was outscored 21-4 in the third quarter in a 71-48 loss to Montbello. ANOTHER WIN - Host Ponderosa (7-4) outlasted Denver North, 57-46, as the Mustangs won for the fifth time in the past six games. STREAKING - Eli Ziegler scored 16 points as Heritage (5-6) won its fourth consecutive game with a 51-47 triumph over Aurora Hinkley. Littleton saw a four point lead evaporate in the fourth quarter as the Lions lost its third game in a row with a 50-43 setback to Gateway. EASY WINS -- Lutheran’s margin of victory was 58 points in two wins last week as the Lions, ranked No. 3 in Class 2A, downed Vista Peak Prep 50-32 and whipped Evangelical Christian, 70-30. LEAGUE OPENERS - Continental League play begins Friday with Chaparral going to Highlands Ranch in one of the featured games. Heritage visits Mountain Vista, ThunderRidge travels to Douglas County, Littleton plays at Legend, Regis Jesuit hosts Castle View and Rock Canyon travels to Ponderosa in the other league openers. RANKINGS - Mountain Vista remained second in the Class 5A boys basketball poll that was released Monday and ThunderRidge was fourth. Arapahoe is No. 7. Valor Christian remains the top-ranked Class 4A team while Denver Lutheran is third in the Class 2A poll.
