Romanoff takes aim at Coffman’s seat Former state Speaker declares early for 2014 race By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Andrew Romanoff, former Speaker of the Colorado House, has announced he will run in 2014 against three-term U.S. Congressman Mike Coffman, R-Aurora. “You mean you’re not thinking about the 2014 election already?” joked Romanoff, who served in the state House from 2000-08 and as Speaker from 2005-08. The Democrat, who moved to Aurora at the beginning of the year, said he was declaring early because he hopes to meet as many people in the 6th Congressional District as possible in the next 21 months. “I ran for the state House four times and got elected four times by going out and meeting my neighbors and finding out what issues were important to them,” he said. “I figured if I start early enough I might be able to meet the majority of my threequarter-million neighbors who live in this district.” The likelihood of Romanoff meeting more than 375,000 people in the next 21 months may not be a realistic one, but the

former Speaker said he believes grassroots is still the way to go and “the best conversations are had by going door to door.” The 46-year-old son of a Democratic mother and Republican father was defeated in his most recent political bid by U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet in the 2010 Democratic primary. He said he plans to focus on ways to improve education, strengthen the economy and reduce the cost of health care if elected Romanoff to Congress. “When I served in the state House I brought Republicans and Democrats together to solve some pretty tough problems. The approval rating is lower than it has ever been in Washington, D.C., and I think Coffman it was Sen. (John) McCain who said it best and that was that (those that approve of Congress is) `down to paid staff and blood relatives,’ and we can do better than that. “Every big problem that this country faces depends on our ability to work across the political aisle. I did that for eight years and I will do that for two more if I’m elected.” The former teacher, who holds degrees from Yale, Harvard and the University of

Denver, already received an endorsement from state Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton. “This will be one the most targeted, highly contested congressional races in the country next year,” Newell said in a written statement on Feb. 8. “I would be proud to call Andrew Romanoff my congressman and will do everything in my power to help him before and after the election.” Coffman, who defeated Aurora Democrat Joe Miklosi by two points in November, issued his own statement last week. “We just had an election, and voters elected me to be their representative, not a full-time candidate,” Coffman said. “Right now, I’m focused on working across the aisle for policies to help Colorado’s working families and small business owners succeed.” In recent weeks Coffman appears to have softened his longtime anti-immigration stance. He introduced the Military Enlistment Opportunity Act - which provides a naturalized citizenship path for immigrants who enlist - on Jan. 29 and has since spoken publically in favor of a citizenship path for the children of illegal immigrants. Coffman, a 21-year military veteran, told Colorado Community Media in January that he intends to focus much of his efforts over the next two years on veterans issues. He also spoke in favor of an assault weapons ban, but wants to see it done at the state level, not the federal level.

Like traffic at the end of rush hour, the future of C-470 appears to be clearing up. On Feb. 7, the C-470 Corridor Coalition Steering Committee — made up of representatives from Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties as well as the Highlands Ranch Metro District and cities of Littleton, Lone Tree and Centennial — voted 7-0 to toll any new lanes along the 13-mile stretch between Interstate 25 and Kipling Street. The coalition has been studying different options to finance the addition of one or two lanes in each direction since 2011 and began a heavy dose of public outreach last summer. Other options included the implementation of sales or property tax increases within a to-be-determined taxing district as well as tolling all the lanes. “The public was divided on tolling (the new lanes) and sales tax,” said Roger Sherman, chief operating officer with consulting firm CRL Associates, in reference to a recent survey done by Hill Research Consultants. “What’s interesting is when you start to go head to head and weigh each potential funding option separately.” The public opinion poll, which was sent out near the end of 2012 to a random sampling of citizens in areas of impact in Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties, made two things clear — citizens were not in favor of property tax or tolling all lanes. “Our citizens have been very clear that in no way will they support a toll on the existing lanes,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jack Hilbert, chair of the C-470 coalition, before adding that “property tax is a four-letter word in Douglas County.” When it came to the possibility of raising sales tax, steering committee members were not shy about voicing their concerns. There was also a consensus that there was not enough support to pass a sales tax once a district was drawn. “It becomes very difficult to say `let’s tax this group of people and not others,’” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning. “Lone Tree is really a retail hub. Many people come to shop there. I think we see it as a competitive issue having a retail tax here that we (wouldn’t) have in other locations, just outside the boundary.” Another issue with sales tax, Hilbert said, is that it would take an additional two C-470 continues on Page 9

150 stories that shaped Colorado F Former Rocky editor shares history through eyes of newspaper By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Newspapers have long been known as the recorders of history. And as the Rocky Mountain News approached its 150th anniversary, former editor Michael Madigan was busy at work piecing together a project that highlighted 150 of the most memorable and historic front pages throughout the history of the paper -dating back to its first edition, which was created in a second-floor office above a saloon alongside Cherry Creek. His idea was to run one front page per day for the 150 days leading up to the Rocky’s anniversary date. Yet, only 103 ever ran - each tucked inside the back page with an accompanying story about why it was chosen - before the Rocky itself became history, closing Feb. 23, 2009, two months to the day shy of its big birthday. Months after the paper closed, however, Madigan released the rest through the publishing of “Heroes, Villains, Dames & Disasters: 150 Years of Front-Page Stories from the Rocky Mountain News.” As the introduction of the book states, the project “as it was conceived was to be an anniversary reprise. Now it is an obituary.” From the assassinations of Lincoln, Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., to the completion of the Denver Pacific Railroad, the Broncos first Super Bowl and the Hayman Fire, the book captures the nation’s and state’s most monumental events. There’s the death of Billy the Kid, Colorado becoming the second state to grant women the right to vote, the opening of Red Rocks and the start of World War II. There’s surprises, historical anecdotes and things one may not have known or otherwise forgot.

It is history the way Colorado’s pioneer newspaper reported it. Madigan will spend an evening, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 18, talking about the book with the Highlands Ranch Historical Society at Southridge Recreation Center, 4800 McArthur Ranch Road in Highlands Ranch. The public is welcome and non-members are asked to give a suggested donation of $1. The former editor will discuss why some of the stories were chosen, talk about the stylistic differences in how varying events were reported and share some of the surprises, such as why Lincoln’s assassination was on Page 2 as opposed to Page 1, yet still made the book. He will likely also talk some about the closing of the paper. “We always felt that there was a real local attachment to the newspaper, but that’s really been driven home in the years since the paper closed,” he said. “Everybody knew that the newspaper industry was in hard times at that point, but I don’t think anybody had any inkling that Scripps had any thought in mind of closing the Rocky.” Madigan, who also published “Historic Photos of Denver in the 50s, 60s, and 70s,” which tells the tale of urban renewal in the city in black and white photographs, has his first novel due out in August. He will be signing copies of “150 Years” after the event and they will be for sale for $30. To RSVP for the event, please visit www. highlandsranchhistoricalsociety.org. “I think the real star of the book and of the programs I give are the front pages,” Madigan said. “Being able to look back at these I find just fascinating.”

Former CIA agent’s trial postponed again Judge reprimands both attorneys after plea falls through By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com A trial scheduled to begin Feb. 12 in Douglas County for a former CIA contractor facing assault charges has been postponed yet again. Raymond Davis, 38, entered a not-guilty plea in April for the alleged October 2011 assault of 50-year-old Jeff Maes over a parking space at a Highlands Ranch bagel shop. The trial was supposed to begin in September but was pushed until February because the two sides were not ready. Davis, who has been free on bond since the time of the incident, was charged with second-degree felony assault and misde-

meanor disorderly conduct. He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years and a maximum of 16 if found guilty. Both sides had been confident a plea agreement would be reached at a disposition hearing Feb. 11 - and the following four days had been scheduled for trial if one was not - but at the request of both Davis’ attorney, William Frankfurt, and the prosecution, a continuance was begrudgingly granted by Judge Richard Davis Caschette. If no settlement is reached prior to March 1, all offers will be off the table and the trial will be set for July 15 with a pretrial hearing scheduled for June 28. “I was sure a resolution could be reached and I still feel that way,” Frankfurt said. “On Friday afternoon an offer was extended with new conditions and those conditions

could not be met by today’s date. There are things that are making this case more difficult to reach a resolution and I will just leave it at that.” As a CIA contractor, Davis made national headlines for killing two Pakistani men in 2011 in what he said was self-defense. He was released after $2.34 million in blood money was paid to the families of the victims. Caschette, who said he was ready to try the case, was openly upset with both attorneys and asked Deputy District Attorney Doug Bechtel why the prosecution felt the continuance was needed. Neither side was still ready, Bechtel said, adding that Douglas County Sheriff’s Detective Mike Trindle - who had conducted all the witness interviews in the case - was out of state and would be unavailable for the trial. “This is my docket not the people’s docket,” Caschette said to Bechtel, before waving Davis’ right to a speedy trial and grant-

ing both sides the continuance. Maes’ attorney in the related civil matter, Larry Klayman, tried to speak at the hearing but Caschette shut him down after asking him if he was licensed to practice in Colorado and hearing he was not. Klayman said afterward that he will be putting in a formal request with Caschette to appear on Maes’ behalf prior to March 1. “We are going to be pressing for just resolution of this case,” said the Los Angeles attorney. “This community has had enough tragedy. We had Columbine. We had the movie massacre. We can’t let someone like this out onto the streets without any kind of contrition and punishment and that’s what the prosecutor had prepared to do. “(Davis) obviously needs significant psychiatric counseling and care. He’s not in control of himself. God knows what can happen. … He deserves jail time. You can’t just walk off after beating someone brutally like he did.”

Suspected of ‘sexting’ juvenile

in Highlands Ranch!

By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputy suspected of sexting a juvenile was arrested after sheriff’s investigators received a tip. Robert M. French lost his job with the sheriff’s office by Feb. 11, within days of his arrest. He did not work as a school resource officer and was terminated for department policy violations and alleged criminal conduct, said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, public information officer. The investigation began early in the week of Feb. 3, when the sheriff’s office received a tip about inappropriate text messages involving a juvenile, Hanavan reported in a Feb. 9 news release. The investigation led to French, who allegedly sent the text messages while off duty, according to Hanavan. The sheriff’s office worked the case with the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and the Rocky Mountain Computer Forensics Lab. By Feb. 8, French was taken into custody and charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a child. French was booked at the Douglas County detention facility but was taken to the Arapahoe County jail, where he remained on a courtesy hold until posting $50,000 bond, Hanavan said. French Douglas County officials opted to send French to the Arapahoe County facility in the interest of security and personnel issues. “It’s a little less uncomfortable for all employees that know (French),” Hanavan said. “And it’s a security issue because if you work in this building, you’re familiar with the building.” French was released following an internal affairs investigation that was conducted in tandem with the criminal investigation. “This is a very complex case. It is anticipated to be lengthy and there may be additional arrests,” Hanavan said in the initial press release. The case remains an active investigation and Douglas County District Court issued a motion to seal the case to limit pre-trial publicity.

Cate Johnson, 11, Tyler Carley, 10, and Luke Johnson, 10, team up Jan. 29 to create a multi-storied building out of Legos at the Highlands Ranch Library. The popular afternoon program provided all the materials for kids in third through sixth grades to use their imagination and create sculptures. The kids titled their pieces, which will be on display at the library throughout the month. Librarian Laura Baldassari-Hackstaff said the library’s goal is to build literacy, and one way to do that is to connect what children are interested in with what is available to read. She had Lego-themed books geared to a range of ages for the kids to read or check out. Photo by Courtney Kuhlen

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

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Democratic state lawmakers on Feb. 5 unveiled a gun-control legislative package, which in part calls for required background checks for all gun buyers and strict liability for owners and sellers of assault weapons. But the ideas aimed at curbing gun violence, which were announced by leaders of the General Assembly’s controlling party during a morning press conference inside the state Capitol, were immediately met with stiff opposition by gun-rights advocates. Democratic leaders — who were joined at the event by people whose lives have been affected by gun violence — announced eight pieces of “gun safety” legislation, which they said are needed in the wake of shooting massacres that continue to make headlines around the country. “As a civilized society, we cannot stand back and wait for another Columbine, another Aurora,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver. Some of the efforts announced Tuesday came as no surprise — gun-control legislation has been high on the list of priorities for Democrats this session. But perhaps the bill that will cause the greatest amount of ire for Republicans and gun advocates is one aimed at creating strict financial

liability for makers, sellers and owners of assault weapons. Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, who will sponsor the Assault Weapon Responsibility Act, said his bill will make assault weapons makers, sellers and owners “liable for 100 percent of the damage” caused by “military style” assault weapons that are used in the commission of crimes. “The sickness of violence is spreading through America like a plague,” Morse said. Morse insisted that the legislation would not constitute a ban on assault weapons, and that it would not impact handguns, bolt action rifles and shotguns. But Morse’s bill was met with ridicule by conservatives. “That’s a frightening prospect,” said Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray. “I can’t believe how extreme that is.” Brophy quipped that the ban is a “clever,” back-door way of banning assault weapons because it would create an environment where gun makers would stop manufacturing their products out of concern for being held financially liable, if those weapons get in the wrong hands. Brophy said that holding essentially every party associated with an assault weapon liable is akin to “holding Coors and 7-Eleven liable” when someone robs beer from a convenience store and then gets drunk and causes a drunken-driving accident. Dudley Brown, executive director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, said Morse’s bill is “a functional ban” on assault weapons. He also said that people who commit gun crimes “should be

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

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

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

Morse was one of a handful of top local lawmakers whom NRA President David Keene met with during his Feb. 7 visit to Colorado. Keene’s Colorado trip came two days after Democratic legislators unveiled eight gun-control bills aimed at curbing firearms-related violence. Four of those bills were introduced in the House of Representatives the day of Keene’s visit. Keene, speaking with reporters in the Capitol following his meeting with Morse, said he told Democratic lawmakers that he intended on finding common ground on issues such as gun background checks and making sure guns don’t get in the hands of criminals or those with mental health issues. But Keene made it clear that he would not support any effort to hold gun makers and sellers liable for damages caused by assault weapons, saying that federal law shields those groups from any civil liability.

Keene said that any attempt at that type of legislation would be nothing more than a “feel-good” measure. “You cannot sue them because someone uses their perfectly legal product and misuses it,” Keene said. Keene also told Colorado Community Media in a private conversation that the NRA is not concerned about the politics of the gun debate, in spite of some polling evidence that shows the public supporting at least some types of gun-control efforts, in the wake of recent mass shootings around the country. “We are not going to compromise the Second Amendment rights of our citizens to do things that don’t work,” he said. Morse, who announced his plans to pursue the Assault Weapon Responsibility Act during a Democratic-led press conference at the Capitol Feb. 5, said he is still working on how his legislation will be crafted. The former police officer said he is aware of fed-

eral laws that protect the gun industry from liability and that, if it turns out he cannot target makers and sellers of military-type assault weapons, he could envision legislation intended to at least hold owners and possessors of assault weapons liable. Morse lamented the “amazing protection that the gun makers get,” but said he does hope the NRA is serious about finding common ground. “I don’t know if at the end of the day they are going to support any (part of the Democratic gun package), but I know the people of Colorado support all of it.” Keene also met with Gov. John Hickenlooper, who supports some Democratic gun control efforts, but has not yet endorsed Morse’s proposal. Hickenlooper did not address the media, but his office issued a statement after his meeting with Keene, saying that, “While we might not agree on a number of things, there will certainly be places where we can find common ground.”

Benefits of schools’ credit rating debated Two apply for board vacancy Board cites taxpayer payoffs, others say students pay a price By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County School Board President John Carson defended the district’s financial reserves during the board’s Feb. 5 meeting, saying the fund ensures a credit rating that saves taxpayers money. “We as a board have set a 4 percent reserve,” he said. “Some people think that’s too high. I think in the economy and budget we’re in, with fluctuations in revenue, it’s the prudent thing to do. Not only prudent for the long-term planning and welfare of our district, but it obviously pays huge financial dividends back to the school district and taxpayers of Douglas County.” The comments stem from a recent bond refinancing that will save property owners about $3 a year for the next 17 years, and an assertion from a parent-led group that the fund balance is unnecessarily high. “The cost of what it’s taking away from the education system far exceeds the benefits,” said Su-

san Meek, vice president of Strong Schools Coalition. An underwriter praised the school board during its meeting for conservative financial policies that help feed an AA+ credit rating, one that ranks DCSD third among the state’s 178 school districts. “There were some impressive results here,” he told the board. Fitch Ratings reviewed the district’s financials for a recently completed bond refinancing that dropped the interest rate from 5 percent to 2.99 percent. That paired with another refinancing in late 2012 will save taxpayers about $5 million, he said. The county has about 110,000 taxable parcels, according to the assessor’s office, for an annual savings of about $3 on each Douglas County property. “It’s great to have low rates,” said Laura Mutton, president of Strong Schools. “But if you’re hoarding money in order to have a high bond rating and you’re only saving taxpayers $3 a year, there’s a tradeoff there. It doesn’t count for a lot at a time when you’re having serious budget cuts.” For the first time in five years, the district plans no cuts in the coming academic year. Last year, it met an $18 million shortfall with

money found in over-budgeted line items, as well as cuts to central administration and the high schools. DCSD has an unrestricted fund balance of $86.7 million. The unrestricted funds are those limited for use by statutory requirements. Its unassigned fund balance — money the district has not earmarked for specific uses — is $18.1 million. Meek, former DCSD spokeswoman, said the district has maintained a high credit rating for many years and through large fluctuations in the general fund balance. DCSD has had an AA rating for several years running, and was assigned the AA+ in 2010. Spokeswoman Cinamon Watson said the district “takes every opportunity to do everything we can to be good stewards of the taxpayer dollars. We’re using it wisely, and producing a great product.” Meek and Mutton formed the now 600-member group to “inform, engage and positively impact the public schools in Douglas County,” according to Strong School’s website. They’ve criticized the district’s fund balance, budgeting and time the board spends in executive sessions.

School district accepting applications through Feb. 22 By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two Castle Rock women have applied for a vacant seat on the Douglas County School Board. The board will accept applications until Feb. 22. Joan Brown and Christine Strang submitted applications for the post vacated in January by Dan Gerken. Gerken’s District D includes the southeast portion of the county, and any potential board member must live within that area. The vacant term expires in November, so the person assigned to the seat will either serve an abbreviated term or run for re-election. The current board will interview the candidates and choose Gerken’s replacement. School Board President John Carson did not directly respond when asked if the board is seeking

a candidate who supports their education reform efforts. “We’re accepting applications from anyone who lives in that district who wants to apply,” he said. “That’s about the best I can say. It’s an open process. We are looking for a great pool of applicants. “I’m very optimistic we’ll have a great new board member sometime in March.” The position is unpaid and requires about a 20-hour commitment per month. Candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a 12-month resident and registered voter of the district, and have no interest in district contracts. All current school board members are registered Republicans, but the office is officially nonpartisan. Gerken, elected in 2009, cited family and work obligations in his resignation.

Democrats propose child-welfare reforms

their

Training, reporting plan aims to head off abuse

tions t dissaid. say. ook-By Vic Vela nts. vvela@ourcoloradonews.com have ome- Gov. John Hickenlooper and other Democratic state leaders on Feb. 6 announced a d re-series of reforms to the state’s child welfare mmit-system, which are in part aimed at preventing child abuse before it happens. st 18 The proposals include the setup of a dentstatewide child abuse reporting hotline, dis-more training for child welfare caseworkdis-ers, and other efforts designed to protect children. mem- “We want to make sure we keep our kids cans,healthy and safe, and make sure we stabinpar-lize families,” Hickenlooper said at a Capitol press conference. cited The reforms, which have been dubbed n his“Keeping Kids Safe and Families Healthy 2.0,” is a follow-up effort to changes to the visitchild welfare system that Hickenlooper anw.dc-nounced about a year ago. ecre- The hotline streamlines the current renona.porting system, one where all 64 Colorado counties have their own child abuse hotlines.

Hotline workers, along with child caseworkers, also will receive more training to help them investigate abuse cases. The plan also allows families involved in child welfare referrals, ones that may not rise to the level of abuse or neglect cases, to receive services and support aimed at preventing abuse. The governor’s plan also calls for greater transparency, through the development of a website where the public can keep tabs on efforts taking place inside the child welfare system. And the plan calls for modern technology, such as the use of smart phones and tablets to help caseworkers with their workloads. Hickenlooper will seek funding for his proposals by asking the Legislature to set aside $22 million in next year’s budget. The governor also said that Colorado will receive $8 million in federal funds in each of the next five years, which will also go toward funding reforms. The governor was joined at the press conference by legislators who will be involved in drafting the bills. “We may not be able to prevent every child death by abuse, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try,” said state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk.

Civil unions bill gains Senate approval Only one Republican votes in favor of measure By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Same-sex couples in Colorado are one step closer to the realization of civil unions following the passage of a bill in the state Senate on Feb. 11. Senate Bill 11 — which would allow gay couples to enter into commitments similar to marriage — passed the General Assembly’s upper chamber with unanimous support from Democrats, but with only one Republican voting to move the bill forward. There was no debate on the bill before final passage. The Feb. 11 vote became a foregone conclusion after the Senate provided preliminary passage three days earlier, following a session in which several lawmakers gave passionate — and often personal — speeches, both in support and opposition of civil unions. Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, an openly gay lawmaker and bill sponsor, gave an emotional speech on Feb. 8. “This is a moment that we have waited for,” said Steadman. “If two people are lucky enough to have found one another, why should the State of Colorado stand in their way?” Steadman’s longtime partner, Dave Misner, died of pancreatic

Capitol Report

cancer last year. Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, choked back tears as she spoke in support of Steadman’s bill, referring to Misner’s death, as well as her brother’s struggles with coming out of the closet. “This vote is for my brother Bill, and my friend Dave,” Newell said. Republicans unsuccessfully offered amendments to the bill, including one from Sen. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs that would have exempted practically any person or entity that objected to civil unions from providing services for those couples. But Steadman said that such an amendment would fly in the face of non-discrimination laws. Steadman also implored those who hold strong religious beliefs, “Don’t let your free exercise run my life.” “Get thee to a nunnery,” he told those seeking religious exemptions to his bill. “Go live a monastic life. Colleagues, this is not Mt. Sinai. This is the Colorado Senate.” Republicans also failed in their attempts to put civil

unions on the ballot, rather than leave the issue up to lawmakers. In 2006, Colorado voters rejected a referendum that sought benefits for same-sex partners that were similar to civil unions. “The overriding feeling that comes to mind for me.... disappointment,” said Sen. Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City. “I’m disappointed that the people of this great state cannot be trusted with a second chance at the ballot box.” Sen. Ellen Roberts of Durango was the lone Republican to vote for the bill. “I believe this bill supports family values,” Roberts said. Roberts also said that it’s important to note that her gay Senate colleagues are about more than just fighting for gay-rights issues. “This issue is only one dimension of a homosexual person’s identity,” she said. “I prefer to look at them much more as multidimensional persons.” The bill now heads to the House of Representatives, where it died last year. This is the third consecutive year that legislators have taken up civil unions, but it is expected to pass the Democratic-controlled House, and then be signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper this time around. “Well, third time’s a charm, isn’t it?” Steadman said.

Telecom firm chooses location in Lone Tree Center will make move from Greenwood Village By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com TW Telecom will move its national operations center from Greenwood Village to Lone Tree. The company will replace Aurora Bank in a Park Meadows Drive building south of the under-construction Kaiser Permanente medical center. TW Telecom, which provides business Ethernet and other telecommunications services, has about 1,200 Colorado employees. Most of them will move to the new building between now and 2015, when the company’s Greenwood Village lease expires. “These are relatively high-paying jobs, and this is a really strong employer,” Deputy City Manager Seth Hoffman said. “The more strong employers we attract, the better our restaurants and retailers do. “We think the development activity in Lone Tree is some of the best anywhere in Colorado. This is another indicator of that.” TW Telecom’s corporate headquarters already are on Park Meadows Drive in a separate building, and will remain there. “It made good sense for us to move our employees closer to our

corporate headquarters,” said TW Telecom spokesman Bob Meldrum. “We pride ourselves on having the best customer experience in the industry. Part of that is providing excellent work facilities and opportunities for our employees.” In addition to national operations center employees, TW Telecom’s customer care, call center and general office support staff will move to the Lone Tree address. The company also has a sales office in Aurora that will not move. The ParkRidge Six office building that TW Telecom will lease is now in unincorporated Douglas County and will be annexed into Lone Tree. ParkRidge Six, the Marriott Hotel and Chili’s are among a pocket of buildings south of the Lincoln and Interstate 25 interchange that fall within the county. The city’s long-term goal is to annex them all, Mayor Jim Gunning said. “We provide safety, road and plowing services to that area,” he said. “We really feel like we should incorporate the businesses in that area into Lone Tree. And we feel there’s an advantage (to the businesses) to being in Lone Tree.” The Marriott and Chili’s identify themselves as Lone Tree already, he noted.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

On C-470, toll lanes best way to go The group tasked with devising a plan to improve C-470 made the right call last week when it decided to pursue the construction of new lanes that would come with a toll. It’s not a solution everyone will embrace, but when looking at how to arrive at a more-motorist-friendly highway, the truth is, there is no perfect path. It’s going to take money. It’s going to take time. And while the work is being done, it’s going to be inconvenient. So why do anything? Clearly, the Denver metro area is growing and much of that growth is taking place near C-470, which snakes from I-25 to I-70. The population along the 27-mile corridor is expected, by some estimates, to swell by more than 30 percent over the next 20 years. Already, some stretches of the highway see more than 100,000 vehicles a day. During morning and afternoon rush hours, the road is plenty congested now. Throw in thousands of extra vehicles per day, and the future of the road as a preferred, or even viable, route doesn’t look bright. That’s not acceptable for a corridor that includes areas like northern Douglas County,

OUR VIEW which is quickly becoming a magnet for businesses to open and relocate. So when the C-470 Corridor Coalition took up the task of brainstorming improvements in 2011, it was an important step. The coalition’s decision-making committee is made up of representatives from Littleton, Centennial, Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch and from Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties. The group’s focus, for now, is on the 13mile stretch from I-25 to Kipling, identified as the swath most in need of immediate assistance. After months of doing research, reaching out to communities and polling residents, the coalition was left with three logical choices: toll only new lanes, toll all lanes or try to raise taxes (sales or property). To be sure, the Feb. 7 decision to move

forward on the plan for a minimum of one new express toll lane in each direction was neither hasty, nor uninformed. Tolling all lanes was the least-popular option in public polling and was rightfully dismissed. An all-toll highway might have backfired by keeping too many motorists away and costing municipalities more headache, gridlock and construction costs through the wearing down of local arterial roads. A property-tax increase surely would have been voted down, but there was some support in citizen polls for a sales-tax hike. We agree, however, with local officials who said such a measure could be unfair to communities located in the new taxing district. “I think we see it as a competitive issue having a retail tax here that we (wouldn’t) have in other locations, just outside the boundary,” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning, whose city is home to the popular Park Meadows mall. Imposing a toll only on new lanes makes the most sense, and as it would not require an election like the taxing options, would be the quickest to implement. It’s

also the most fair: It would be a motorist’s decision to use the new lanes and thus pay the fee. We venture to guess many would pony up to zip along at a quicker, lessencumbered pace. As mentioned, the plan, which carries a tentative price tag between $230 million and $350 million, isn’t perfect. The coalition acknowledges there may be a need to find additional funding sources if revenue from the toll lanes doesn’t fully pay for the project. It’s not an insignificant risk, but it is one worth taking, given the potential reward. The group plans to take some time to refine the conceptual design and cost estimates and there are environmental, traffic and revenue studies that must be done before anything is final. Even if everything goes as planned, it could be up to two years before construction begins. And that doesn’t cover the second-phase, from Kipling to I-70, which a different set of officials will get to work on shortly. So while we’re not there yet, at least we’re not stuck in rush-hour traffic, wishing for a magical way out.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

My comb and I parted company Will no mail on Saturday impact you? We went to several locations in Englewood and Littleton to hear how people felt about

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

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

“I haven’t given it a lot of thought but I think it is a shame they’ll stop Saturday delivery. Right now, Saturday delivery has slowed down. But that governmental agency needs to do something to save money because a lot of money is being wasted.” — Keith Carson, Englewood

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

“I’m not sure how I feel about the decision. It won’t have a big impact on me personally. I don’t get a lot of mail on Saturday but I will miss it when it doesn’t come.” — Maria Powell, Englewood

Being down can lead to looking up One of the most popular activities I get to do with my team at work or with groups that I am involved with happens on Fridays. I typically send an encouraging email filled with positive updates, recognition of achievement, and gratitude for the effort put forth by everyone. And then I ask for feedback, I ask for the best news of the week or most positive or productive good news that they can share. Everyone responds and shares a moment or experience that truly made the week positive. The interesting thing is this: People may have been having a very tough week but they always find something positive to share. Life may have presented some significant challenges personally and/or professionally, but somehow they dig in and look for something good to share with the team or group. So now imagine your own life right now, and imagine for a moment it is Friday and I have asked you for the best news of the week. What would your answer be? Now I have done this for several years and with many people. The majority of people can come up with something meaningful and positive in a fairly short amount of time. But those who are having a tough week and wrestling with the question find themselves going deeper, yet they still find something positive to share with everyone. And I have to share with you that the responses that come from someone who has been struggling are usually more positive than the replies that come from people who have been having a relatively good week. Here is something else I have noticed. People now expect the question, and so all week long they are already looking for

the good, searching for the positive, and storing up successful stories and events that they can share with the team or group. Please don’t gloss over this, think about it for a minute. When individuals know that they will be asked for the best news of the week, they actually start preparing and looking for the good. This is powerful and I would encourage you to try it at work, in a group you may belong to, or even with your family. Don’t just try it once or twice, commit to it for a couple of months, each and every week. I would love to hear the outcome and how those around you start to embrace the positive, seek success, and champion productivity. What I am talking about is setting an expectation of positive and success-oriented behavior. And when you make it a habit of inspecting what you expect in asking for the best news of the week, you will truly be amazed at the elevation in attitudes, success, and production. I would really love to know what your best news of the week is. Together, let’s make this a better-than-good week.

I don’t own a comb. I stopped combing my hair about 20 years ago. What a relief. I never have to worry about my part. I’d like to see more men without parts. You all look like high school math teachers. I know some high school math teachers who have stopped parting their hair, because they didn’t want to look like high school math teachers. Most of the men I see with parted hair are over 40. My father was parting his wisps until he was in his mid-80s when I told him to stop. He had about 19 hairs at that time, and I think he thought they all were working overtime to give him a head of hair. He used a blow dryer. He put some spray on his hair to keep it down. It looked like hell. He was determined to exit with a head of hair, but a total of 19 doesn’t qualify. I told him, I asked him, please stop. He did, and got his first short haircut since the 1920s. There comes a point when we no longer update our look. I see men, and women, in stores who look like 1978. And that’s frightening. As I have said before, the 1970s were the low point of the 20th century in just about everything. Fashion. Styles. Accessories. Even fonts. We loved our serif fonts back then. The 1980s were almost as bad. You paid extra for almond-colored appliances. I had a friend with olive, shag carpeting. It gave me a headache. Men wore necklaces. Men wore chains. Men wore bracelets. Women wore shoulder

pads. Women wore leg warmers. I’d see people with giant, upside-down eyeglasses. I had hair over my ears, and every morning I parted it. I can’t remember if my part was on the left or on the right. But it bothered me if the track of my part went off line. I had a comb in my pocket. I checked myself in the mirror. One day I went to see Alfred at the HairPorte and asked him to cut it down. On the way to my car I tossed away my comb. I got a few stares at work, and that was about it. I donated my brown (brown!) hair dryer. Then I shaved off my mustache. With long, parted hair and a mustache I looked like an almond-colored appliances salesman. I still see men who look like a 1978 me. It’s not easy to change.

“done” into her 60s, and then we had a talk. She changed her hairstyle. There was less maintenance, and she thanked me. She never got another permanent. I guess people get very involved with their hair. I guess it makes a statement. I would rather know people who make statements, not hair that makes statements. Sooner or later you, not the hair, has to talk. A cool haircut doesn’t make up for an

empty pool of thoughts. I had a girlfriend who had mood hair. Most of the time she was somewhere between simply Martha and Sylvia Plath. She was either OK Martha with natural brown hair or not-OK Sylvia with magenta hair. It was dipped, tipped, crooked, or chopped. I picked her up after a hair appointment and she was in tears. Her hair wasn’t making the statement she wanted it to make. She had me pull over and she went to a stranger’s lawn, and stuck

her head in a sprinkler. I guess that helped. When I was much younger, hair was a big deal. “Give me a head with hair.” Now I would much rather have a friend with a full head of ideas and words and humor. Next: Why comb-overs scare children.

to three years to get the expansion started, something that could happen in early 2014. “There are still questions that have to be answered, issues that need to be discussed,” Hilbert said. “The next question is one or two lanes (in each direction) and that has not been finalized yet. But I think it’s good that we can begin to move forward now.” The difference in cost is estimated to be $230 million for one lane in each

direction and $350 million for two lanes. The fees for express lanes are expected to cost somewhere between 30 and 40 cents per mile. Hilbert made it clear that once all the analysis is done, any of the steering committee members may withdraw their support if the analysis does not support their decision. One of the concerns, as voiced recently by Highlands Ranch Metro District Board Member Nancy Smith, has been who would be responsible for paying for project if the tolls collected do not

cover construction costs. Whether CDOT would help with those costs or not is unknown at this time, but CDOT Commissioner Edward Peterson suggested that he was hopeful the department would able to “provide substantial amounts of assistance” toward the project. The coalition will meet next at 10 a.m. March 7 at the Highlands Ranch Mansion, 9900 Ranch Road, to discuss the timeline for the process and begin making plans for an environmental study.

Groundbreaking held outside Buckley base By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Twelve years of research, planning and fundraising culminated Feb. 2 when groundbreaking ceremonies were held for the Colorado Freedom Memorial. The unique memorial, being built in Aurora near Buckley Air Force Base, will be a tribute to about 6,000 men and women from Colorado who have died in defense of our country since statehood was established in 1876. The idea was born 12 years ago after Rick Crandall did a live broadcast for radio station KEZW from the Omaha Beach American Cemetery in Normandy, France. He said he and his wife put American flags on the graves of 88 Coloradans buried at Omaha Beach and he decided he wanted to do something to honor them and all Coloradans who died for their country. “The idea was to create a memorial to honor the sacrifice of the men and women who fought and lost their lives for our country,” Crandall said at the groundbreaking. “It pays tribute to those who died, but also remembers the sacrifice and pain the families suffered at the loss of a loved one.” He said the design by

Highlands Ranch resident Rick Rokosz uses the entrenching tool the Army issued him to take part in the groundbreaking for the Colorado Freedom Memorial. He was among about 200 who attended the Feb. 2 event. Christopher Kenton will be a glass wall about 12 feet tall and 80 yards wide. There will be panels for each war and the ragged top of the wall panels will represent the Rocky Mountains. Crandall and his army of supporters raised about $700,000 for the memorial. The location is just a dirt construction site now, but plans are to have the project completed in time to dedicate it on May 26. Littleton residents Orville and Norma Kern attended the ceremonies. “We know Rick and his wife and we have followed and contributed to the

fundraising effort,” Orville said. “As a veteran who was a medic in the Korean War era, I believe the memorial is a fitting tribute to those residents of our state who didn’t come home from war.” Vietnam veteran Robert Peposa said he came to support his sister Renie Peterson, an Aurora City Council member, and because he felt the memorial is a wonderful way to honor veterans who died in service to their country. “This is a way to make sure their sacrifice is never forgotten,” he said. “It’s also great it is here near Buckley

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

Saying yes, all over again

Valentine Vow Renewal Ceremony shines light on love for couples young and old By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com

R

onald and Marlene Rice met on a school bus near Scranton, Pa., 57 years ago. The couple dated throughout high school and was married, as Marlene says, “as soon as I got out of high school and it was legal to do so.” After honeymooning in Niagara Falls and spending 18 years living in Long Island, N.Y., the two, now in their 70s, began calling Colorado home in 1978. Just a little more than two months prior to their 50th wedding anniversary, Ronald Rice

dropped to one knee in the middle of downtown Frisco, presented a second ring that she had been eying at an artisan fair, and asked her to marry him all over again. “I asked if she would spend another 50 years with me,” he smiled. “And she said yes.” The couple was one of 23 that renewed their vows Feb. 9 at Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch in an annual covenant ceremony that takes place each year around Valentine’s Day. Having read about the ceremony in the church bulletin after their second engagement, the Rices figured it was the way to go.

Robin and Gary Williams walk down the aisle for their vow renewal Feb. 9. The couple has been married for 21 years, and Robin wore her original wedding dress.

Marlene and Ronald Rice have been married for 52 years and recommitted to one another Feb. 9 at the Cherry Hills Chapel in Highlands Ranch. The two, one of three couples married for more than 50 years renewing their vows, enjoyed having their children and grandchildren present to witness the ceremony. For Doug and Carrie Lhotka, married just seven years, it was finding out that they couldn’t have children that brought them together with the other couples. “It’s time to start fresh,” said the kilt-donning Doug Lhotka. “Life didn’t turn out the way we planned, so we are making new plans. What better way to do it?” The cheery couple, which got married outside in the rain and snow in Estes Park the first time around, has plans to take a second honeymoon to Scotland-Wales in a couple months to seal their recommitment to one another. “We’d heard about (the vow renewal ceremony) a couple years ago and figured seven was the magic, lucky number and that would be a good time to do it,” Carrie Lhotka said.

“We’re doing good, we’ve just had some really tough times.” Robin Williams wore her original wedding dress that she had worn 21 years ago when she first married her husband, Gary. Others dressed more casual as they were met by their husbands and escorted up the aisle at Cherry Hills’ Chapel. The Saturday-morning ceremony lasted 25 minutes and featured music and advice from Dick and Maria Schultz, 41 years; vow renewal from Dave and Sherry Hamilton, 14 years; and words and prayer from Pastor Mike Anderson. “We’re a forgetful people,” said Anderson. “This is why we come together to celebrate and recommit our vows. We forget sometimes of the commitment that we’ve made to one another. Life comes in, children come in, other commitments come in, we get busy and sometimes we put our marriage or relationship on the backburner. … This is a chance to renew that commitment.”

When Tom’s Urban 24, the 24-hour diner-ish eatery at 15th and Larimer, expands into other cities, chief concept officer Tom Ryan said the plan is to keep roughly 70 percent of the Denver menu, but reserve the other 30 percent to include local fare. Immediate growth plans include two more Tom’s restaurants with one likely to be in California, said Stacie Lange, executive vice president of public relations for Consumer Capital Partners, parent company of Tom’s Urban 24 and the giant Smashburger chain. Ryan and Lange invited Pat “Gabby Gourmet” Miller and I to a lunch tasting last week to sample dishes from the “Winter Menu” that recently debuted. We nibbled on 14 new delightful dishes that, frankly, have much improved the cuisine quality over my first experience at the restaurant right before it opened roughly 90 days ago. “The old 90-day rule is really true,” Ryan said about what he asserts is the typical amount of time it takes a restaurant to work out the kinks. “It’s like rewiring your house with the electricity on.” New menu items include pot pies with filet mignon or truffled lobster and shrimp; Stranahan’s whiskey barbecued ribs; open-faced Angus meatloaf platter; Urban super pho with egg, shrimp, chicken and duck confit; fried brussels sprouts with Asian vinaigrette; Tuscan kale and romaine chicken Caesar, and fried “Chickenlooper” with sweet corn pancakes served with syrup and butter. Some of the new dishes are on the dinner menu only, available from 4 to 10 p.m. daily. Others appear on the breakfast, lunch and late-night menu from 10 p.m. to 4 p.m. Egg dishes have been added to the dinner menu because of customer demand. In addition to expanding the Tom’s brand, Ryan said Consumer Capital Partners plans to reopen Tossa, the pizza and pasta place in Boulder that the company closed in December, somewhere in the Denver region, but wouldn’t specify. He said the concept needed to be refined.

Zonta Club hits big 1-0

New Mexico through O’Keeffe’s eyes By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “When I saw this landscape, it was mine,” Georgia O’Keeffe wrote about New Mexico’s distinctive landscape. Her first encounter was in 1917, en route back to Texas from a Colorado vacation, according to Barbara Buhler Lynes, co-curator of the new Denver Art Museum exhibit “Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico: Architecture, Katsinam and the Land.” The former curator of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, which organized the traveling exhibit, writes in the show catalog that the artist wanted to return to this land that fascinated her and finally did so in 1929. Then, she connected with Mabel Dodge Luhan and her husband Tony, a member of Taos Pueblo, who introduced her to Native American dances, where she may have seen katsinam. “Kachina” is an Anglicized version of the word for those sacred figures, explained Thomas Smith, director of the Petrie Institute of Western American Art at the DAM. The painter returned to New Mexico every summer from her home in New York, where she lived with her husband, famed photographer Alfred Stieglitz. She painted and drew images of the land and its architecture and its cultures, colored by her intense emotional response. In 1934, she discovered Ghost Ranch “and found the spiritual home she had been seeking,” Lynes said. She purchased a home in 1940 and made it her permanent home three years after Stieglitz died in 1946. Smith said she constantly alternated between realistic and abstract images throughout her painting career. A series of three images of “the black place” illustrate the variety. The exhibit includes 53 O’Keeffe works. Among them are 15 rarely-exhibited images of different Hopi Katsina tihu — kachina dolls, as well as paintings of Hispanic and Native American architecture and dramatic

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

“Chama River, Ghost Ranch” by Georgia O’Keeffe, 1937 oil on canvas is in the exhibit, “Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico” at the Denver Art Museum. Courtesy photo New Mexico landscapes. Because she kept these Katsina images at her home and rarely exhibited them, they offer new information about this popular American artist and her deep respect for the diverse cultures she found. In the farthest gallery, the visitor finds a group of beautifully painted katsinam from the DAM’s extensive Native American arts collection, arranged by John Lukavic, Associate Curator of Native Arts at the DAM. Also, there are related paintings and sculpture by contemporary Native American artists, including Ramona Sakiestewa and Dan Namingha and his son, who are Hopi and Chippewa/Dakota Sioux. He adds a touch of humor with his “O’Keeffe, After Whistler,” a spin on the famous “Whistler’s Mother,” with O’Keeffe’s likeness installed in that iconic rocking chair. A short video, “Georgia O’Keeffe: a Difference in Art” is shown in this last gallery, with many segments in her voice. It offers a layer of biographical information that overlays the colorful paintings nicely. After sitting to absorb it, another stroll through the exhibit is recommended.

Parker: Martin Short to perform in Denver Parker continued from Page 11

Give Live

The Grammy-nominated band DeVotchKa will headline Give Live, a benefit concert for the Bonfils Blood Center, beginning at 8 p.m. Feb. 14 at the Paramount Theatre. DeVotchKa, widely known for composing the score to the film “Little Miss Sunshine”, released its seventh album “Live With the Colorado Symphony” in November. “Throughout the Colorado community, Bonfils is most known for collecting blood donations from our generous blood donors,” said Jessica Maitland, vice president of marketing and community operations. “This new benefit concert will give us the platform to share another important way our community can help us save and enhance lives — through financial contributions.” Reserved and VIP tickets available at www.bonfils.org/benefitconcert.cfm.

ets for dinner and the show only are $250. And there’s a $100 ticket for the show only with general seating in the back of the ballroom. RSVP by Feb. 15 at www.myinnovage. org.

Generous DeGeneres

Talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres was so flattered by Denver’s Curtis Hotel — a Doubletree by Hilton’s “Couples We Love Celebrity-themed Valentine’s Day Getaway” promotion — that she called the hotel during her show on Thursday to reserve The Ellen & Portia package. The DeGeneres-themed package includes a CD of “Now, That’s What I Call Dance” for your own private dance party, a bath of Blondies, a bottle of California red wine and two blonde wigs — all to honor the talk show host and her wife Portia de Rossi. Connie, the unsuspecting Curtis Hotel desk clerk, answered the call while DeGeneres disguised her voice to try to reserve the room for Feb. 14-16. After a few funny moments, DeGeneres finally came clean and identified herself. But she sweetened the deal by promising to send several goodies from the Ellen DeGeneres show shop, plus said she’d fly Connie to be an audience member of her show.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? Talk to a professional stager and a Realtor before beginning the process of selling your home. Take your time and do the preparation by decluttering and spring-cleaning — by far the best return on your investment.

It was fully furnished, beds made, immaculate and all personal belongings were still in the home. It was a little eerie and disheartening to see the homeowners lose such a treasure.

WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT.

WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R

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

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.

Relay readies for kickoff party Cancer society turns 100, local event marks 15th year By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com To throw a successful birthday bash, a little planning is required. That’s no secret to the organizers of the Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree Relay for Life, who are already in the midst of planning for the 15th annual HR/LT Relay on July 26 — in the same year the American Cancer Society celebrates its 100th birthday. To get the word out and start signing up teams for this year’s event at Cresthill Middle School, the Relay crew is throwing a kickoff party from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Highlands Ranch Golf Club, 9000 Creekside Way in Highlands Ranch. The party will provide attendees and survivors with a chance to learn about the history of Relay, gather information on sponsorship opportunities and register. There will be free luminarias for those in attendance, a historical video on ACS and a rolling slide show of

photos from past Relays in Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree. Phyllis Danenhauer and her daughter Kari Larese, both cancer survivors, are responsible for organizing the kickoff, but it was Larese’s 10-year-old son, Ryan Larese, who got the whole family involved in Relay last year. “I just kind of thought that cancer in a lot of ways is overlooked,” said Ryan, who is heading up a youth committee with his brother Jordan, 9, this year in an attempt to get a more youthful presence at the event. “A lot of people don’t realize how bad cancer can be. They look at survivors and say, `oh, they are just one of many,’ but there’s probably twice as many people who have died from cancer.” For Ryan, it was an emotional experience watching his mother and grandmother walk the survivor lap together at the start of last year’s Relay, but for the 15-year survivors who’d been diagnosed just months apart, it was, and still is, much more. “When we walked around that track together with the other survivors and all those people were standing all the way around the track cheering us on, that was an overwhelming, amaz-

ing experience,” said Danenhauer, a breast cancer survivor. “It is something we can do together,” Kari Larese added, “something we have both experienced. They were different types of cancer (Larese had melanoma) but we still both experienced cancer and we went through it together both times. “I think it is something that is much more prevalent than people are aware of and it’s something my kids can learn about and be aware of and educate other people about.” According to statistics provided by the ACS, one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime. Relay for Life, which began in Tacoma, Wash., in 1986, raises money for ACS to further cancer research and support patients, and also celebrates survivors. For more information on this year’s Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree Relay or for the Feb. 20 kickoff event, email teams@rflhr-lt.org or visit www.rflhrlt.org. For more information on event history or the ACS, visit www.relayforlife. org.

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

sports@ourcoloradonews.com Everybody likes M&M’s, right? How about Mmm Mmm Good, as in Campbell’s soups? Or, 3M? All are appropriate monikers for Arapahoe’s 2013 girls swimming team. Led by freestylers Ella Moynihan, Emily Mayo and Gabrielle Morley, the Warriors tied Centennial League rival and perennial power Cherry Creek for fourth place in last weekend’s Class 5A swimming and diving championships at Edora Pool and Ice Center in Fort Collins. Moynihan, a sophomore, and Mayo, a senior, were the pacesetters. Moynihan was second in both the 100- and 200-yard freestyles, while Mayo took fourth in both the 200 and 500. Morley didn’t reach the finals in either of her two events, but placed ninth in the 500 and 16th in the 200. Success wasn’t unexpected for Moynihan and Mayo. Moynihan was third in both of her events in 2012 and was seeded first in the 200 and second in the 100 entering the meet. Moya was second in the 200 to Missy Franklin and third in the in the 500. Still, “I’m super happy,’’ Moynihan said after she moved up a spot in each event. “Both races felt amazing. I couldn’t pick one that was better, and they both were personal bests.’’ Erin Metzger-Seymour edged Moynihan in the 200, the Ralston Valley junior finishing in 1:49.92 to Moynihan’s 1:50.30. Mayo took fourth in 1:51.76 behind Centennial League rival Madison Dirks of Grandview (1:51.56). “I tried to go out as fast as I could and hold on,’’ Moynihan said. “Chasing down Erin helps.’’ Moynihan lost to Fossil Ridge’s Rhianna Williams, a senior who defended her titles in the 50 and 100. Williams posted a 49.90 to Moynihan’s 51.32. ThunderRidge sophomore Annie Ochitwa, who was second in the 50 and 100 last year, settled for third in the 100 (51.72). Ochitwa again took second in the 50 in 23.47 to Williams’ 23.47. “There’s no one better to lose to than Rhianna,’’ Williams said. “She’s one powerhouse and deserves it.’’ Moynihan lowered her school records in both events (she set Centennial League marks the previous week) “and went faster this weekend,’’ said Arapahoe coach Mike Richmond. Her times are All-America. Swimming against Franklin in the 500, Mayo posted a 5:01.67, a bit off her prelims time of 4:57.32, which made her the first

GAME OF THE WEEK WRESTLING

Andi Johnston of Rock Canyon competes in the girls 200-yard freestyle. Arapahoe girl to break 5 minutes. The Villanova-bound Mayo also swam the second leg on the Warriors’ third-place 400 freestyle relay team, which beat Cherry Creek with a school record of 3:31.34 and pushed Arapahoe into the tie with the Bruins. Morley placed at state for the first time with times of 1:58.46 in the 200 and 5:10.57 in the 500, which would have put her seventh in the finals heat. Arapahoe also got a sixth place from senior Miranda Reetz, the Centennial League champion, in the breaststroke (1:06.77) as well as 15th in the 200 individual medley (2:11.72). Junior Jordan Rowe was 12th in the 500 (5:13.49) and Erin Chilton was 14th in diving (354.0 points). Richmond said Arapahoe’s goal is “certainly a top five’’ at state, but he wasn’t sure after the Warriors finished eighth in the Colorado Coaches Invitational in mid-December. “There are a lot of good teams, so how can you say you’re not pleased with (a tie for fourth),’’ Richmond said. Regis won the team title with 287 points, followed by defending champion Fossil Ridge (243) and Fairview (181) Ochitwa, the only ThunderRidge swimmer to place, said she wasn’t disappointed with her meet, “but I was hoping to do better,’’ especially in the 100, though she knew Williams would be tough to beat in both races. Ochitwa bettered both her 2012 and 2013 qualifying times in the 50. She matched her qualifying time in the 100. Moynihan and Ochitwa weren’t the only area underclassmen who excelled at state. Rock Canyon’s freshman duo of Abigail Kochever and Madeline Lacy both reached finals, Kochevar taking third in the 50 (24.14) and sixth in the 100 (52.08), and Lacy fifth in the 100 butterfly (57.03). Jag-

uars senior Nicole Cassou was 16th in the IM in 2:11.91. “I’m so proud of Abby and Maddy,’’ said Rock Canyon coach Nicole Vanderpoel. “”Their first state meet is a big experience for them, and they handled themselves beautifully and swam their best times.’’ Mountain Vista’s Ashley Peterson was third in diving with 449.40 points. She led a Continental League foursome that finished 3-4-5-6, followed by Austin Mckensi of Regis (447.45), Kaitlin Costello of Castle View (444.75) and Cat Badillo of Legend (441.85). Loveland’s Michal Bower won her fourth straight title with 486.15 points. Badillo won the Continential League meet a week earlier, but has been battling back from injuries that have limited her training. Chaparral seniors Makenna Wilson and Megan Grier made finals, Wilson taking fourth in the backstroke (57.47) and Grier seventh in the 50 (24.57). They both swam in the 100 consolation finals, Grier getting 10th in 53.30 and Wilson 11th in 53.49. Freshman Hannah Paris placed ninth in the 50 (24.68) and tied for 12th in the 100 (53.93) for the Wolverines, while senior Annie Graves was 13th in the backstroke (59.45). Heritage’s Mary Hinton was fifth in the 500 in 5:05.65 and ninth in the 200 in 1:55.34. Castle View had two swimmers place, led by senior Morgan Stepp, who was seventh in the IM (2:10.97) and 15th in the butterfly (58.85). Senior Kristin Alfano was 16th in the breaststroke (1:10.84). Legend senior Allison Arnold was sixth in the 500 (5:09.65) and sophomore Lauren Moden was 12th in the 50 (25.04). Highlands Ranch had two placers: junior Gabrielly Liedy, 14th in the 50 in 25.13, and sophomore Jenny Penneck, 16th in the butterfly in 59.36.

Kent Denver senior Abruzzo wins two state titlesB

Sophomore Curtis paces Valor Christian to 11th place finish By Daniel Williams

dwilliams@ourcoloradonews.com THORNTON - Dreams can come true, just ask Lauren Abruzzo. The Kent Denver senior capped off her already impressive prep career with perhaps the second best effort in all of Colorado High School swimming this year next to Missy Franklin Saturday at the 4A State Championships at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center. Abruzzo was one of just two multiple event winners taking the 100 IM in 2:04.25, and then winning the 500 Freestyle in 4:55.11. “It feels amazing, I couldn’t have dreamed up a better finish,” Abruzzo said. “I wasn’t expecting that time in the 100 and I am so excited about how things went.” Abruzzo helped guide her Kent Denver team to a seventh place finish in the state tournament with 121 team points. Breathing down Kent Denver’s neck was Valor Christian, who wrapped up their season with an 11th place finish. Behind sophomore Lauren Curtis who swam in two events, Valor finished with 56 team points. Curtis’ 200 Medley Relay team finished in fourth place with a time of 1:53.21. And she later finished in 13th place in the 100 Breaststroke. “We put in place a bunch of goals at the beginning of the season and there wasn’t a goal we didn’t meet,” Valor coach Rob Nasser said. “We are very satisfied with our season.” Thompson Valley won the tournament and their fourth straight 4A state title with a score of an even 300. But it didn’t come without a little controversy. Evergreen, a league rival of D’Evelyn, was forced to forfeit 34 points in the 200 Medley Relay because of a disqualification. Those 34 points would have won a state championship for an Evergreen team that had to settle for third place with 266 points. Still, Evergreen senior Lexie Malazdrewicz dominated the tournament and capped off her prep career with nine individual state titles. Malazdrewicz won the 50 Freestyle in 23.63, as well as the 100 Freestyle at 50.15 (both 4A state

CENTENNIAL - Mountain Vista’s hockey team, according to head coach Lev Cohen, is heading in the right direction. And that direction could be to South Suburban Ice Arena to host one of four CHSAA hockey regionals after the Golden Eagles edged Heritage 5-4 in a Peak Conference game Saturday night at South Suburban. Mountain Vista’s win pulled the Golden Eagles into a tie with Heritage at 11-2-0 in the Peak Conference with each team having one regular season game remaining. Fountain Valley leads the Peak Conference with a 11-1-0 record and the top two teams in the Peak and Foothills Conference will host four-team regional playoff tournaments Feb. 22-23. Since Mountain Vista beat Heritage, it will give the Golden Eagles the nod over the Heritage Eagles for second place if both teams win their final game. Mountain Vista plays Cheyenne Mountain (4-7-0) Thursday and Heritage battles Valor Christian (8-3-1) Saturday. Both games are at South Suburban. Fountain Valley plays Pueblo County and Bishop Machebeuf, two teams with combined 8-150 records in conference action. “This get us second place if we win Thursday,” Cohen said. “We played well. We have a few things to fix but we’re going in the right direction.” Bryan Hancock had two goals and an assist for the Golden Ea-

gles and Brantt Heble had a goal and assist. Heble, a senior who attends Chaparral High School, scored the game-winning goal that gave Mountain Vista a 5-3 lead at the 13:09 mark of the third period. “I got a good pass and it was pretty easy to put it away,” Heble said. “It was on the back door. The puck just popped right out in front in front and it was just a tap in.” Heble extended his points streak to six games and he has seven goals and six assists in the past five games. Heritage’s captain Scott Appleby collected his fourth goal of the game 51 seconds after Heble’s tap in to pull the Eagles to within 5-4 but Mountain Vista goalie Joe Morgan made two of his 27 saves in the final 36 seconds of the contest with Heritage playing with a man advantage to seal the victory. It was the seventh win in a row for Morgan, a sophomore ar Highlands Ranch. “Joe played great for them,” said Heritage coach Jeremy Sims. “He had some great saves in the game. We had some great chances right on the door step but missed. “More than likely will not get home ice now. We’ll definitely bounce back. We have Valor next week. We’re shorthanded right now with three kids out with concussions and two suspended. This was a big game. We knew it, they knew it, the refs knew it and the kids knew it. That was by far the most kids we’ve had to watch a hockey game.” Mountain Vista contained Heritage’s state scoring leader Connor Crory, holding him to three assists in the game. Crory, who attends Arapahoe High School, is well on his way to the state scoring title with 31 goals and 29 assists for 60 points.

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

jbenton@ourcoloradonews. com Lutheran, a Class 2A school, wrapped up the Metro League basketball title with wins last week over Manual and Colorado Academy. The Lions finished with a 9-0 record against Class 3A teams in the Metro League and has four remaining nonleague games before heading into the Class 2A state playoffs. Jennifer Vigil scored 17 points and younger sister Kristen had 13 in the 63-39 win over Manual and the Lions, ranked second in the state’s Class 2A poll, drubbed Colorado Academy, 56-37, to earn the league title. “Winning the Metro League is something we are very proud of,” said Lutheran coach Mark Duitsman. “You look at the schools in this conference and you know that a league championship does not come around very often. Schools such as Holy Family, Faith Christian, Machebeuf, these are perennial powerhouses in girls basketball and for Lutheran to be on top of that list this season is quite an accomplishment by these girls. “There is humility about this group that is very rare. They understand that all of this is a gift. Their talent, this team, the league title, even the

chance to play this game, it is all a gift from God and these girls just want to make the most of the opportunity they have been blessed with. The accomplishment of winning the Metro League is something that we certainly celebrate, and it is something that can never be taken away from this team, but we also know that the we still have work to do.” The Lions faced Belleview Christian Tuesday and have games against Denver Christian, University and Byers to finish the regular season. “The girls on this team, they’ve experienced it all throughout their careers,” added Duitsman. “Buzzer-beaters to end your season, a consolidation, season-ending injuries, state runners-up last year, as well as state championships in volleyball. This is a mature group with excellent perspective on what high school sports are all about. “They’ve been through the highs and lows, and they’re at a point where they just don’t get caught up in all of it.” Duitsman emphasized the Lions will not relax. “Now that we’re through the 3A schedule, we can focus on the remaining games and the 2A playoffs,” he said. “Like always, we’ll take it one game at a time. We’re going to get everyone’s best shot, and you can bet they’re going to get ours as well.” In the state rankings released Monday, Lutheran remained second but Highlands Ranch dropped from second to third in the Class 5A poll.

Rock Canyon slipped to eighth but Chaparral moved up to sixth. In other action last week: HIGHLANDS RANCH - The No. 2 Falcons shot only 30 percent and had 18 turnovers and dropped a 64-47 decision to top-ranked Regis Jesuit. Kesley Wainright and Shelby Hickey each had 13 points in the loss to Regis while Ciera Morgan scored 14 points as Highlands Ranch beat No. 4 Rock Canyon, 66-57.

THUNDERRIDGE - The Grizzlies connected on 11 3-point shots in a 71-22 drubbing of Heritage as Brianna Throop took scoring honors with 17 points. ThunderRidge outscored Mountain Vista 23-15 in the fourth quarter to pull out a 6965 win.

Falcons rebound to knock off Rock Canyon Morgan shines as Highlands Ranch holds off Jaguars’ rally By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com HIGHLANDS RANCH - Ciera Morgan, Highlands Ranch’s junior point guard, stepped up big for the Falcons in Saturday afternoon’s 66-57 victory over Rock Canyon, Highlands Ranch, Colorado’s second-ranked Class 5A girls team, had an 11-point lead on three occasions in the first half against No. 4 Rock Canyon. However, instead of the game turning into a runaway in the second half, Kendall Koslosky’s basket pulled rallying Rock Canyon to within one-point at 43-42 with 5:09 to play in the third quarter. That’s when Morgan took charge with a 3-point basket and five consecutive points to spark a 17-4 run that swelled the Falcons lead to 60-46 with 5:57 remaining in the game. “That was the time we said that we had to pick it up as a team, take a step back and figure out what to do,” said Morgan. “My team gave me a great pass to put the shot up.

It helped. After that we got back and played team defense.” Rock Canyon, which went 1-for-9 with two turnovers during the decisive Highlands Ranch run, fought back again with nine unanswered points to trim the Falcons lead to five. But, the Falcons his six consecutive free throws, four by Morgan, in the final 1:14 to seal the victory in the Highlands Ranch gym. The win, coming after an uninspired effort in a 64-47 loss Wednesday night to top-ranked Regis Jesuit, improved the Falcons Continental League record to 6-1 and their overall record to 15-4. “This was a good rebound game to really challenge us,” Highlands Ranch coach Caryn Jarocki said. “We knew there would be some runs in the game and we were hoping we’d have the last one.” Jarocki emphasized to her team the need to play more physical and aggressive in the practices after the Regis setback. “The practices were definitely focused because J (Jarocki) wasn’t messing around,” said Morgan. “Everything was in your face. “The Regis game kind of gave us a wakeup call. It’s like game-time now, it’s serious now and this game (Rock Canyon) kind of gave us reinforcement that when the game is

close, we can pull through as a team.” Morgan led the Falcons with 14 points, Shelby Hickey had 13, Madison Montgomery 12 and Kelsey Wainright 11 in the balanced scoring attack for Highlands Ranch. Lexy Thorderson had a game-high 20 points which included five 3-pointers and Erin McClarie added 13 points for the Jaguars who are now 5-2 in the league and 15-4 overall. Saturday’s contest against No. 2 Highlands Ranch was the sandwich game of a brutal three-game stretch for Rock Canyon. The Jaguars lost 62-56 to No. 8 Chaparral last Tuesday and now must face top-ranked and league leading Regis Tuesday. “I was really happy that we battled and didn’t quit against Highlands Ranch,” Rock Canyon coach Robbie Ballard said. “We let a little bit of fatigue beat us in stretches. When it gets to be a one-point game, we have to get the lead. That could totally change the momentum and we weren’t able to do that. “I told our kids we have to learn how to compete. We played probably 27, 28 pretty good minutes but we can’t let them get out and get big leads late. Highlands Ranch is a mature team and they’re used to winning games like this. We’re still trying to climb the mountain and learn.”

Mountain Vista stays unbeaten, edges Grizzlies in OT By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com HIGHLANDS RANCH - The game was sold out hours before the opening tip and a line of people waiting to get into the Mountain Vista gym were told 75 minutes before the start that nobody else would be admitted. People were invited to watch the game on a big television screen in an adjacent lunchroom but a few fans still decided to leave. Too bad because they missed an entertaining game between unbeaten and No. 2 ranked Mountain Vista and No. 3 ThunderRidge. The overflow crowd watched Mountain Vista win its 18th game of the year and take control of the Continental League title chase with an 78-72 overtime victory over the Grizzlies, who lost for the first time in league play. Mountain Vista is 7-0 in Continental League action with four games remaining

in the league season. ThunderRidge, 14-5 overall, is now 5-1 in league play and tied for second with Regis Jesuit. The game had more momentum changes than tree leaves in the fall. After a close first quarter, Mountain Vista built a seven-point lead in the second stanza and ran off 11 straight points in the third quarter to go ahead 52-44 but the visitors kept coming back. The Golden Eagles led 60-55 with 2:53 remaining in regulation but Joe Marucci, a 6-foot senior, scored the last six points for ThunderRidge as he worked for shots inside. His layup tied the game at 63-all with 34 seconds to play. Mountain Vista had a chance to win in regulation but Jake Pemberton’s jumper was off the mark and Mitch Carter could not connect on a follow shot. Pemberton and Elijah Valdez got the Golden Eagles off to a fast start with the first two baskets in overtime. ThunderRidge missed its first four shots in the extra session and turned the ball over once as the Golden Eagles went ahead by five points.

“They had a lot of momentum going into overtime,” said Valdez who had eight of his 19 points in the four-minute overtime. “Basketball is a game of momentum and it is pretty difficult to regain that momentum but as soon as we got it going in overtime, we had the game. “I felt pretty good in overtime. It was great but I couldn’t of had a better team behind me. All I can say is 18-0.” Mountain Vista coach Bob Wood admitted the buckets by Pemberton and Valdez were keys in the OT. “It was really nice to get that first basket,” he said. “I know they did a study on that and most of the time if you get the first basket in overtime you win. “We got the first two and then we made enough free throws and did enough things right to put it away.” Mountain Vista made four of six free throws and Valdez cashed in a layup in the final 53 seconds to seal the win. “It was a great game,” said Wood. “I though both teams played well. What I consider their three best players, Marucci, Rusk
