House passes gun bills

THERE’S TROUBLE AFLOAT

Democrats propel measure to Senate By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Four major pieces of a Democraticsponsored gun control package passed the state House of Representatives on Feb. 18, following furious legislative action from the week before that included hours-long committee hearings and a passionate floor debate that went deep into the night. Bills that seek to limit high-capacity ammunition magazines, ban concealed weapons from being brought to college campuses, as well as two others dealing with gun background checks, now move on to the Senate. Not a single Republican supported any of the bills. Meanwhile, Democrats did not vote in unanimity, with at least one — and, in one case four Report — Democrats voting against each one of the bills. About five hours was spent debating the bills on Feb. 18. But that was nothing compared to the marathon-like House session from three days prior, where members spent about 12 hours debating gun measures on the House floor, before members voted for preliminary passage of the bills. And, highlighting the amount of attention the bills are receiving nationally, even Vice President Joe Biden ended up getting in on the action. Republicans charged over those two days of floor debate that Democratic guncontrol efforts infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens, and that criminals, and not guns, are responsible for acts of firearms-related violence. “This is about Second Amendment rights, constitutional rights and the civil rights of Coloradans and Americans,” said Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson. “Changing the law will never change the heart of man.” But Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, whose son was killed in 2005 before he was scheduled to testify in a murder trial, rejected that anyone’s rights are being taken away. “When people say that the gun lobby is too strong, or that (these legislative efforts) infringe on Second Amendment rights, then I would say, `Not so,’” Fields said. “Because it’s time we do something.”

During South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s Presidents Day Camp at South Platte Park, Jayden Sullivan, 6, tries to find a flood-proof location for her toy house on a 12-foot-long river model table at Carson Nature Center. Fellow campers Jack Testerman, 6, Ian Ley, 7, and James Cohen, 7, also waited to see how their houses would fare once a flood of water was released down the sand-covered model Feb. 18. The activity taught about habitats and rivers while recreating the 1965 Littleton Flood. The daylong camp focused on Colorado wildlife and what animals need to live. The kids went for a morning hike, searched for specific birds and plants, built forts to protect small animals, played several games, created crafts and became animal detectives.

New proposal stirring for Marathon site Developer ready to give it a go By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Remember when Littleton City Council approved rezoning the Marathon property seven years ago after several long and contentious public hearings? Barely, right? Since then, the ground has grown fallow, the wire Christmas tree stays up all year, the critters have gone largely undisturbed and the neighbors have gone back to business as usual. But wait. Did you hear something stirring? It’s developer Watt Investment Partners of Santa Monica, Calif., which has submitted a proposal to the city for the 77-acre site on Broadway between Dry Creek Road and Fremont Avenue. It went on the market last summer for $23 million. “We are still reviewing the project so have not scheduled it for any public hearings,” said Glen Van Nimwegen, the city’s community-development director. The plan is very similar to what council approved in March 2006. It’s residential on the east side, mixed use on the west. “They are requesting to reconfigure and realign the commercial area, while maintaining the core, `main street,’ mixed-use POSTAL ADDRESS

Marathon Oil moved out of the 77-acre site on Broadway between Dry Creek Road and Fremont Avenue in 2000, and the location has not seen much activity since then.

plex in 2000, and Denver oil tycoon David B. Richardson bought it for $14.5 million in December of that year. His plan was to create a main-street feel on the west side

Fields sponsored two of the bills, including one that would limit to 15 the number of rounds a large-capacity ammunition magazine could hold. That bill passed on a 34-31 vote, with Democratic Reps. Leroy Garcia of Pueblo, Steve Lebsock of Thornton and Ed Vigil of Fort Garland voting no.

Citizens-to-be give new life their all The questions flit around the table like a game of Jeopardy. “If the president can no longer serve, who becomes president?” “The vice president.” Pause. “Biden.” “You got it.” “Who is the speaker of the House right now?” “John Boehner.” “What are two Cabinet member positions?” “Secretary of Agriculture and Secretary of State.” “Good.” “What is one power of the federal government?” “To print money.” “Good job!” Rachel Grazi tells her students. “Good review! You guys sound confident!” Sitting around a table in a cozy corner of a library, they are confident. María Turner from Bolivia, and Perla Ramos, Ana Villegas and Yovanna, who doesn’t want her last name used, all from Mexico. All legal residents, they are studying to become U.S. citizens. It’s only when they think about the exam that determines their fate that they worry. “I’m nervous,” Yovanna says, “that I won’t make it.” About 70 immigrants each year pass through the doors of the nationally recognized Immigrant Resources Center in Little-

ton seeking help with the citizenship process. They are paired, one-on-one or in small groups, with volunteers who help them navigate the citizenship process. The program also connects immigrants to resources for employment, housing and education and offers English lessons. Those using the program live throughout metro Denver, such as Lakewood, Littleton and Aurora. Although most have moved here from Mexico and other Latin American countries, they come from all over, including Liberia and Iraq. And they come, Grazi pauses, after working all day. “They are committed.” The center was established in 2004 by Littleton citizens who recognized the growing diversity of their city and wanted to ensure these newcomers became part of the community’s fabric. A recent federal grant will allow the center to help another 40 immigrants work toward citizenship. “There’s a big demand,” Grazi, the citizen program coordinator, says. “It’s such an important step in their journey.” What students must learn before taking the Oath of Allegiance, she says, is the story of

He helps with the program because it allows him to open his arms in an inclusive gesture. “There’s a need now for this type of program. We’re moving toward a global community. If we’re going to be a part of that population, we have to be ready for it.” America.

wouldn’t know that.”

“What is the economic system of the United States?” Ana: “A market economy.” Yovanna: “Capitalism.” “What problem led to the Civil War?” Ana, Yovanna, Perla, María: “Slavery.” “Who did the U.S. fight in World War II?” Yovanna: “Japan.” Perla: “Germany.” María: “Italy.” “The Federalist Papers supported the passage of the U.S. Constitution. Name two of the writers.” Ana: “Alexander Hamilton.” Yovanna: “James Madison.” Ana: “John Jay.” “Whoa,” says volunteer Christine Khorsand, a retired world language professor and French native who herself became a naturalized U.S. citizen some 20 years ago. “I’m sure a lot of Americans

During the past decade, more than 6.6 million immigrants have become U.S. citizens, according to the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services. That averages about 680,000 new citizens a year. Colorado welcomed 7,805 new citizens from more than 20 countries in 2011, the most recent year for which figures are available. About one-fourth were from Mexico, but the other leading countries of birth were Ethiopia, Vietnam, India, China, Canada and Russia. A swirling, flavorful melting pot. Program volunteer Bernard Small has watched the demographics of Littleton change dramatically since he moved there 25 years ago. “Even here in Littleton, there’s so many different people,” Small says. “Diversity makes it feel more of a community.”

“What is the first promise?” Perla: “I promise to give up loyalty to other countries.” Christine: “What does it mean to give up loyalty?” Perla raises her hand. “Renunciar.” To renounce. Christine: “Exactly.” Perla continues with her hand up. “I promise to defend the Constitution of the United States.” Ana: “I promise to serve in the U.S. military if needed. I promise to serve the nation if needed. I promise to do important work for the nation if needed. I promise to be loyal to the United States.” “What is loyalty?” asks Bernard. María: “You have to be ready for the United States.” Bernard: “To be ready, what must I do?” María: “If I need to go to the war … to defend …” Yovanna, in her early 30s, moved here from Mexico with her parents about 20 years ago. Her first choice as a career would have been the Army. “If I could, I would have joined the ROTC in high school,” says Yovanna, a paraprofessional in a Denver elementary. “For me, it would be heroic, like being proud of a country. After I study the history, I feel like ‘Wow!’ This country went through a lot of battles to become where it is. I’m proud of it …. It is my country.” She wants to make it official. On Feb. 26, if she can pull together the $680 needed to apply, she will file application papers for citizenship. Although it’s difficult to renounce your country of birth, Ana is willing to do it to live here. “The rights of the people here,” she explains simply. “I want to serve this country.” Perla, who has lived in

this country 18 years, also would like the security citizenship can offer. “My life is here in the United States.” “I was so sad,” Yovanna says, “when I couldn’t vote.” The students turn to page 206. The Oath of Allegiance. “The oath is really long and it has some difficult English, even for Americans,” Rachel says. “You will become a citizen of the U.S. at a naturalization ceremony. During the ceremony, you will recite the Oath of Allegiance to the United States. When you recite the oath, you will make these promises.” María: “… and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, so help me God.” “What is mental reservation?” Christine: “It’s like you say, ‘Yes, I support …’” María: “… not only words, but it’s in your heart.” It is the night before María’s citizenship exam. “I’m excited,” she says. “I’m nervous.” On Valentine’s Day, she drives from her Littleton home to the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services in Centennial. Her husband, a U.S. citizen, can’t come because he is working. She is alone. “But I’ll be fine.” She answers a series of questions about her personal life and whether she is a terrorist or a communist or whether she’s been in jail. Next, she must answer correctly six of 10 questions the officer randomly selects from the 100 she has studied with her classmates. She passes easily. It all takes 25 minutes. Then María is told she needs more paperwork regarding her marriage, such as shared banking accounts and bills, before she can recite the oath. She’s a little disappointed. But the hard part, the exam, is over. She has submitted the documents. She is confident that, within a few weeks, she will be a citizen. And, then, “I will feel Macari Healey continues on Page 31

Ethics committee finds no violation Crane cleared as candidate for appointment as county clerk

and appropriate manner. Flanagan also gave testimony describing how she, too, had informed her supervisors of the relationship. Flanagan is still employed by the company, but does not work on any projects associated with Arapahoe County. As for Crane’s decision not to use “free” software currently available, Rogers indicated the software proposed by the anonymous letter was a commercial off-the-shelf product that would never have been able to handle the number of voter registrations in the City of Denver. During closing remarks, Crane told the committee that if he was appointed to the position of clerk and recorder, he would take exceptional measures to ensure there were no further misunderstandings regarding his conduct. Committee member Ed Williams said “after what Matt has been through, there really should be no question where he stands.” The committee will forward its finding with written comments to the Board of County Commissioners for review. A quick decision on who will serve out the remainder of Nancy Doty’s term as clerk and recorder is expected afterward. Doty, elected to the Board of County Commissioners in November, currently holds both positions.

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews. com An Arapahoe County ethics committee has cleared Matt Crane of ethical violations alleged by a “Jane Doe” letter that abruptly halted the county’s appointment of a new clerk and recorder. The five-member panel ruled unanimously on Feb. 14 that Crane could not have swayed Denver’s choice of Sequoia, a vendor that produces election software and that also employed his wife, Lisa Flanagan. “There is no way Matt could have influenced the city’s decision,” said Susan Rogers, former Denver elections commissioner who served during the controversial 2006 election where the city’s electronic voter check-in system crashed, creating long lines and turning away more than 20,000 voters. “That contract with was already in place and the decision had been made long before Matt came on board.” Dates on city contracts and

Matt Crane answers questions from an Arapahoe County ethics committee on Feb 14.

As for whether or not Crane concealed his relationship with Flanagan during his tenure, his supervisors, including John Gaydeski, Denver’s chief of elections who resigned in light of

the software debacle, said Crane made appropriate efforts to make the fact known. Gaydeski told the committee that Crane had brought the matter to his attention at one of their first meetings in early 2006, informing him of the relationship

with Flanagan and her position with Sequoia as “a potentially sensitive subject.” While Crane did not publicly announce his relationship with Flanagan, the committee has ruled, based on testimony, that he informed his superiors in a timely

Fly’n B Ranch land could house 385 units By Jennifer Smith

‘Littleton needs more youth and vitality, and this is a perfect place.’ South Metro Denver Chamber President John Brackney

THE TRADITIONAL 50TH BIRTHDAY GIFT HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY CHANGED TO POWDER. To celebrate Vail’s 50th birthday,

WE’RE GIVING EVERYONE 20% OFF!*

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Bucking a longstanding emphasis on keeping commercial property commercial, Littleton Planning Board gave initial approval to a proposal to build apartments on part of the old Fly’n B Ranch. One of only three sites in Littleton that sit south of County Line Road, the 18-acre plot is across from McClellan Reservoir at the southeast corner of County Line Road and Erickson Boulevard. Developer Mark Kerslake of the Province Group also owns the 12 acres across Erickson and intends to build retail there. “We’re bringing the rooftops to the retail,” said Allen Lampert of the brokerage firm David Hicks Lampert. He tried for six years to fill all 30 acres with retail, he said, but challenges with topography and access hindered

FLY’N B RANCH Fly’n B Ranch, situated along the High Line Canal, has been home to a long line of farmers and ranchers and was an illegal gambling house at one time. Perhaps the most notorious resident was Johnny Bowen, who bought the ranch in 1967 and built a dirt runway from which to launch his small airplane. Bowen sold the ranch to Erickson Living Communities in 2004. After building the Wind Crest complex for seniors, the company sold off leftover parcels and conveyed part of it to the Highlands Ranch Metro District to use for a park, complete with a fishing pond and barbecue grill. The Metro District is currently pondering whether to restore or demolish the 1906 home that sits on site.

those efforts. A parcel so large needs a big anchor, he said, and there’s been no interest. Littleton’s apartment-vacancy rate is about 4 percent. With rates at 18 percent for offices and 15 percent for retail, Kerslake said residential is the best bet. In March 2012, a report out of the city’s economic-development department noted problems with developing commercially on the site, including a pond, access and its long and narrow shape. The same month, the city’s openspace task force called it a low priority and one the city’s best remaining sites for commercial development. “An inviting and well-known visual remnant of the area’s rural history will probably be lost when the site is redeveloped,” acknowledged the task force. Kerslake’s plan is to build 385 units that would lease for up to $2,100 a month. The complex would feature a clubhouse, fitness center, pool, barbecue area and 25 percent open space. The three- and four-story buildings would house one-story units with up to three bedrooms. Five people appeared to speak in favor of the project, including John Brackney, president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. “Littleton needs more youth and vitality, and this is a perfect place,” he said.

Representing the youth and vitality vote was Katy Raffensperger, who said it would be great for young couples like her and her husband. “I don’t think bringing in the bigbox retail is necessarily what’s best for the city,” she said. Staff said the project conforms to the city’s comprehensive plan in that it converts a commercial property, vacant for 28 years, into residents who will support existing businesses and future retail to the west. But board member Dave Metcalf, noting he’s a lame duck with his term nearing an end, said that argument is “thin” and called for more specifics. He suggested staff should drop the pretense of conformity and declare a belief in a progressive approach to development. “I guess I take umbrage to what Commissioner Metcalf stated,” replied Glen Van Nimwegen, the city’s director of community development, noting the plan is more conservative than current standards. “It’s a much less intense development that what would be allowed under current zoning,” said Kerslake. Currently there are no height restrictions or setback requirements, and only 20 percent open space is required. Despite his reservations, Metcalf joined the rest of the board in voting to support the project. City council will hold two public hearings before making the final determination.

The owner of Littleton Gas Express was arrested Jan. 17 on suspicion of selling synthetic pot. Bijan Barzideh, 53, was arrested by Littleton police and members of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Impact Team after discovering he might still be selling the product, known as “K2” or “Spice.” The city outlawed such sales in March 2011. Barzideh carried Spice at the time and agreed to Barzideh be interviewed, saying kids will always find a way to get high. “If you ban Spice, kids will still get pot under the table,” he said. “That’s not the fault of the dispensaries. The parents have to tell the kids don’t do it, son. Don’t do it, daughter.” He said he treated the products like ciga-

rettes, not selling to anyone younger than 18 and even paying city sales tax on them. “I’m a parent myself,” he said. “I’m concerned like everybody else.” Barzideh was previously in the news when his adult son was stabbed in the heart during at attack at the gas station in June 2012. Nicholas Zapata, 32, and Jose Murillo, 47, allegedly burst into the store, at 1009 W. Littleton Blvd., around closing time, and Murillo is suspected of stabbing Barzideh’s son. The son reportedly fought back with a hammer, incapacitating Murillo. Barzideh said his son had to undergo emergency surgery but recovered quickly. Zapata fled the scene before officers arrived, but was caught several days later. Murillo went to jail upon being released from the hospital in September. They’re both in Arapahoe County jail awaiting trial. Barzideh was also taken to the county jail, charged with unlawful distribution of synthetic cannabinoids and unlawful possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, both felonies; and unlawful possession of a synthetic cannabinoid, a misdemeanor. He is out on a $3,000 bond.

Customer left the Castle, cruised High Line Canal in car By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton’s licensing authority has cleared the Castle Bar and Grill of all charges stemming from last year’s incident in which an intoxicated patron drove away from the establishment, cut off a police commander in a marked car and led him on a low-speed chase down the High Line Canal trail. “They all agree that he was drunk,” said board member Earl Gunia during the Feb. 13 meeting. “The only question is if they should have known, and that’s a hard one to answer.” The bartender who welcomed Kenneth McPhee, a regular, last Sept. 14 is adamant the customer didn’t seem drunk. “He was fine when he was in here,” said Dawn Norby, who was ticketed on suspicion of overserving McPhee. Her case is pending. McPhee said he had six or eight drinks at

another bar about 11 a.m., went home and took a nap for about four hours, went back to that bar and had six or eight more, then wound up at the Castle, where he had two beers and a shot. He paid, and about 10 minutes later was failing a roadside test at the Euclid Avenue end of the trail. “I know there were a couple of people who had to jump out of the way to keep from getting run over,” said police Cmdr. Trent Cooper. “I shouldn’t have been driving,” McPhee said. He told the board he reached an agreement in his case that included wearing an ankle bracelet and attending alcohol classes. The Castle’s owner, Tap Smith, told the board he’s worked hard to better the establishment, located just north of Arapahoe Road on Broadway, in the four years he’s owned it. “I’ve gone through several employees because I haven’t gotten them to come full circle with me,” he said. “Dawn wouldn’t work for me if I thought she did anything wrong.”

A bill that would have brought the socalled Jessica’s Law to Colorado died on a party-line vote in a state legislative committee on Feb. 13. The bill would have imposed a mandatory sentence of at least 25 years on an offender who commits a sexual assault against a child, before the person is eligible for parole. The four Republicans on the House of Representatives State, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee voted in favor of the law. But all seven Democrats rejected the bill, arguing in part that Colorado already has some of the toughest sex crimes laws in the country. Jessica’s Law is named after Jessica Lunsford, a young girl who was sexually assaulted and buried alive in Florida in 2005. Lunsford’s father, Mark, provided emotional, and often tearful, testimony in support of the bill. Before her death, Mark Lunsford recalled taking his daughter to the fair and snapping a photograph of her that day. “That was the last picture of my daughter,” Lunsford said. “That was the picture that the entire world (had) seen.” Jessica Lunsford was killed by John Couey, who was a repeat sex offender. Couey was given three consecutive life sentences, but died of cancer in 2009. Mark Lunsford said repeat child sex offenders “are not going to stop” targeting children and that laws like the one named after his daughter are necessary to prevent more cases like hers from happening. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Libby Szabo, RArvada, reminded committee members that Colorado is one of only six states where Jessica’s Law is not in place.

“It’s time for us to stop talking about the welfare of our children and do something about it,” Szabo said. But Colorado already has mandatory sentencing structures on the books for crimes of violence. And, in egregious cases like Jessica Lunsford’s, prosecutors and the courts have the discretion of meting out very long sentences for sex offenders, according to testimony from Laurie Rose Kepros, the director of Sexual Offense Defense for the State Public Defender’s office. Kepros said that Colorado has the “harshest sex offender (sentencing structures) in the country,” and that sex offenders in Colorado already go through rigorous hoops before they’re able to receive an early release from their sentences. Kepros also expressed concern that crimes that aren’t as egregious as the one that led to Jessica’s Law could be lumped into the same indeterminate sentencing structure. The bill’s language stated that a minimum 25-year sentence would be imposed for an offender who commits a sexual assault against a child who is 14 or younger, and who is at least seven years younger than the assailant. Kepros said that could lead to a 21-year-old man who touches the buttocks of a 14-year-old girl through her clothing to receiving a life sentence. “This takes away the type of discretion we trust with prosecutors (and judges) all the time,” Kepros said. After the hearing, Erin Jemison, executive director of the Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault, said after the hearing that she frequently disagrees with the Public Defender’s office, but not on this issue. “We don’t like the blanket stuff like that,” she said of mandatory minimum sentences. “We prefer to look at the individual.”

Rotarian clean-water project under way Group funds filter work in Nicaragua By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

Rotary International lived up to its name as clubs in Nicaragua and Colorado joined forces on a project installing filters that provide clean drinking water in about 260 homes in rural areas in the mountains of Nicaragua. The project was suggested by the Rotary Club in Somoto, Nicaragua, because they wanted to bring clean, safe drinking water to families in the rural area. The Nicaraguans talked about the project to Bob Moore, a member of the Littleton Rotary Club and other area Rotarians who brought the request back to their clubs. and “We looked into the filbackter project and decided to thentry to work with the club d twoin Somoto to make the project happen,” the Littler waston Rotary Club member enuesaid. “Money was needed to build the filters so our eopleclub, the Littleton Sunrise keepRotary Club and the Aurora mdr.Gateway Rotary Club raised about $8,000. We then sent Pheea successful request for adgree-ditional financial support ng anto the district and to Rolass-tary International, which increased the total project d the stabahoe he’s

Littleton Rotarian Bob Moore, left, and Nicaraguan worker Juan Mendez work on parts for a system to provide clean water. Niaraguan Rotarians oversee the project funded by local Rotarians and Rotary International. Courtesy photos funding to about $21,000.” Moore recently returned from two weeks in Nicaragua, where working with Somoto Rotarians, local workers were hired and trained to manufacture the tanks for the filters systems. “We first went to southern Nicaragua and met with filter creator Dennis St. John to learn how his team created the system tanks,” Moore said. “Then we went to Somoto, a city in the mountains of Nicaragua where we worked along with the four people we hired to start building the filter tanks.” The system is needed

because safe drinking water is not available in most mountain villages so families get water from streams or rivers. In all cases, stream and river water contains intestinal parasites causing stomach irritation and other health problems. A solution is the sand filter system. The filter system is a plastic tank filled with 2 inches of course gravel, 2 inches of pea gravel and then filled with special volcanic black sand. The filter is immediately makes stream water safe to drink. But it takes about two

weeks to create the bacteria layer that helps purify the water so it as clean and safe as most municipal water supplies in the United States. When the filter system is completed, it will yield 12 to 15 gallons of clean water a day. The sand and gravel material usually lasts about 18 months. Moore said the original plan for the recent trip was to hire and train a crew in Somoto to build the filter tanks. A member of the Somoto club was to select the rural homes to receive the filters.

Two Nicaraguans work on the tank for a water filter system. Rotarians funded the project and hired the workers to construct the tanks. Unfortunately, a glitch prevented completion of the filter tanks. “We bought all the 10inch plastic water pipe in the country,” he said. “However, there was no flat water-pipe plastic material needed for the bottom of the tank in Nicaragua,” he said. “So, we had to order it from the United States. It is supposed to be delivered this week so the team can complete the tanks and be-

gin the installations.” He said the Somoto Rotarians have selected about 260 homes where the filters will be installed. All the homes are in remote mountain areas with no access to clean, safe drinking water. He added that the word about the filters delivering clean, safe drinking water is out and now there is a waiting list of about 300 additional homes that would like to have the filters.

Bennet supports Mental Health First Aid Act Local network can vouch for program’s track record By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com With the Sandy Hook school shooting being the last straw for many people around the world, national leaders are taking hard looks at hard topics. “I think what we’ve seen in the last few months in the country is pretty unprecedented,” said Barb Becker, director of community programs at Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network. “As a country, we’re looking at what we can do to pre- Bennet vent this in the future.” While it doesn’t always rise to the same passionate level of debate as the topic of gun control, many feel mental illness deserves the same amount of attention. To that end, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., has joined a bipartisan effort to bring the Mental Health First Aid Act to the forefront. “Our country has experienced far too many tragedies in recent years that may have been prevented if there was better access to mental-health services,” Bennet said

in a press release. “This bill will provide critical resources to help make sure that training is available to help identify the warning signs of mental illness, effectively respond to a crisis and get help to those who need it. It provides a common-sense solution that can help save lives all across our country.” The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Ron Barber, DAriz., who was former Rep. Gabby Giffords’ district director. They were both wounded in a mass shooting two years ago at a community forum. “I urge you to endorse common-sense, bipartisan proposals like the Mental Health First Aid Act,” writes Barber in a letter to Vice President Joe Biden. “We have failed to give the mentalhealth care needs of Americans due attention for too long — and we paid too high a price for this neglect.” The act takes its cue from a program founded in Australia in 2001. Arapahoe/ Douglas Mental Health Network began teaching it four years ago, and instructor Leslie Geiger said she’s never heard anyone say it was a waste of time. “This is as bipartisan as cancer or diabetes,” said Geiger. “Just because somebody has a mental-health issue does not mean they’re prone to violence.” In fact, notes Becker, people with severe disorders are less likely to commit acts of violence than the general population, and more likely to be victims. People with illnesses like schizophrenia or bipolar

MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID ACT The Mental Health First Aid Act would provide grants for training programs for groups like teachers, first responders, police officers, school and college administrators, veterans and nurses, with a focus on rural areas. Specifically, the bill would: • Highlight available mental health resources, including community centers, emergency psychiatric facilities and hospital emergency rooms. • Teach the warning signs and risk factors for schizophrenia, major clinical depression, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, trauma, and other common mental disorders. • Teach crisis de-escalation techniques. • Provide trainees with a five-step action plan to help individuals in psychiatric crisis connect to professional mental health care. disorder most often end up in the criminal-justice system because of things like trespassing, illegal camping or panhandling. Becker hopes federal legislation will help raise awareness about such issues and create more opportunity for people to get the help they need. George DelGrosso, CEO of the Colorado Behavioral Health Council, testified last month in support of the bill before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. CBHC’s 28 member organizations provide psychiatric care, community-based services and addiction treatment to more than 120,000 Coloradans each year. About

Wadhams urges more message, less rhetoric Former state chair says GOP should tone it down By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Dick Wadhams, political consultant and former chair of the state Republican Party, has never been known to watch his tongue, but he’s suggesting it might be good for the party. “This party has a problem with tone,” he told the Western Arapahoe Republicans Feb. 16 at the Littleton Center. He suggests more Hispanics and women could be drawn by stressing traditional Republican principles like family values and Wadhams economic conservatism, with which he thinks most would agree if they could get past the rhetoric. “We’ve got to have candidates who can talk about these issues and talk about them in a mainstream way,” he said. Immigration reform is an issue he thinks Republicans should champion creatively. Wadhams has signed on with the Red Card program, conceived by Parker resident Helen Krieble, which would allow noncitizens to work in the United States for a defined period of time. “Most people who come here illegally to

work don’t want to become citizens, and not just Mexicans,” he said. “We want to let people do that.” He said the idea that Colorado has always been a red state is wrong, noting that Bill Owens was the first Republican governor in 28 years. Successful Republicans in the state like Wayne Allard, Bill Armstrong and Hank Brown have been articulate, dynamic and clear in their messages, he said. “The notion that we have to start out on the far right and then dive to the middle drives me nuts, because it doesn’t work,” he said. He cites the environment and abortion as two issues where Coloradans consistently fall on the more liberal side. “We’re never going to win on the environment, but Republicans have to maintain a certain amount of credibility on it,” he said. Asked about changing the stereotype of the “old white male Republican club,” Wadhams said young people were drawn to the historic nature of electing the country’s first black president. But he thinks the fact that their unemployment rates are higher than the national average could lure them to conservatism. “If anybody has been failed by the Obama administration, it’s young people, as far as the economy,” he said. As far as division within the party, Wadhams thinks it will work itself out. “If the quality of candidate is there, they can unite (the Tea Party with the rest of the party), because we’re not that far apart on the issues,” he said.

50 percent of its caseload is adults with severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. DelGrosso believes training a diverse array of audiences is key to the program’s success. In Colorado, CBHC has trained the State Sheriff’s Association, the Colorado Department of Corrections, Gov. John Hickenlooper’s cabinet members and many other state agencies. It is currently organizing training for all the rabbis in the Denver metro area and hopes to take the program to schools and colleges throughout the state. “The ultimate goal is to increase the understanding of mental-health issues, help our citizens be able to identify when a friend, co-worker or family member is having mental-health distress, and help them get involved in treatment when it is necessary,” said DelGrosso. “Someday we hope to see Mental Health First Aid Instruction as commonplace as physical-health first aid.” Those interested in taking the class can register at www.admhn.org/Education. The next session is March 14-15. The cost is $25. The site also offers free mental-health screenings, though Geiger cautions it’s not a replacement for live help. “If emotional factors are keeping someone from their ability to maintain positive relationships or perform their vocation, then they would probably be best served by seeking a mental-health assessment,” she said.

‘Insanity’ bill meets its demise Legislator wanted to put burden on defendants making the claim By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A bill that would have shifted the burden of proof away from prosecutors and toward defendants who plead not guilty by reason of insanity failed to survive following a state legislative committee hearing on Feb. 13. The bill’s s p o n s o r, Rep. Frank McNulty, RHi g h l a n d s Ranch, said Report he was motivated to bring forward his legislation after the Aurora theater shooting last year. McNulty refused to identify suspect James Holmes by name during his testimony to the House of Representatives State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. Holmes is expected to plead not guilty by reason of insanity. But McNulty said, “it is time that we reform the insanity defense,” arguing that, “It does come up in very high-profile cases, probably for a

Capitol

reason.” “We have to make a decision today whether we’re going to side with criminals, or if we’re going to side with victims,” McNulty said. But Democrats grilled McNulty on his burden-shifting effort. Rep. Mike Foote, D-Lafayette, reminded the former House speaker that this case had already been settled by the Colorado Supreme Court in 1968, when it ruled that placing the burden on defendants to prove they are not insane is unconstitutional. Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, also referenced the Supreme Court decision, saying, “It’s settled law.” “Why are you looking to add what I believe would be an unconstitutional standard?” Salazar asked. McNulty acknowledged the legal hurdle, but insisted that, “Sometimes, these questions need to be asked again.” Foote said McNulty’s bill also would unfairly make insanity defenses “different than other affirmative defenses.” And Salazar, along with Rep. Jeanne Labuda, D-Denver, reminded McNulty that defendants’ rights are important to protect. “Everybody is innocent until proven guilty,” Labuda said. “I see this bill as lowering the bar by trying to prove innocence.” The bill died on a 7-4 party line vote in the Democratic-controlled committee.

Last month included National Stalking Awareness, which like many topics, ties in with other awareness months, such as the pronounced topic of domestic violence. By reacting to a few key awareness months — in editorials and coverage — we are able to touch on many topics. Career and Technical Education Month for February is highlighted this month — noted in a resolution by the state Legislature — and is also tied to so many aspects of American life. The resolution notes the importance of retaining “under-represented youth in schools and giving all students leadership

OUR VIEW opportunities.” Perhaps students in technical training programs at community colleges and so on are sometimes under-represented and undervalued in the media as well, so we give a hearty shout-out to career and technical training in schools. Moreover, the importance of technical and career training extends to the free market business perspective. In our interaction with economic development agencies, we hear from businesses on a

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Does legal pot put kids at risk? Amendment 64 permits adults 21 or older to not only possess an ounce of marijuana for recreational use, but also to grow up to six plants in a private residence. We asked

area residents if they think increased accessibility to marijuana in the home puts children and teens at risk for early use or abuse.

“Increased accessibility to anything is going to pose an increase in risk. I say, the responsibility is really up to the parent, just like it is for having alcohol in the house.” — Grant Price, Englewood

“I voted no on Amendment 64, because I didn’t think it was a good plan. As for the increased accessibility, I think children will be at some risk.” — Rachel Chadwick, Littleton

“Yes, increased accessibility in the home is only going to lead to more problems. If kids see parents doing recreational pot, then they’ll think it’s OK.” — Gary Bowker, Littleton

“Yes, I think having marijuana in the house poses a bad influence, but really it’s the choice and responsibility of the parent.” — Robert Smith, Highlands Ranch

Those final 24 hours “You’re here for the old one.” Six very difficult words to hear. “Yes,” I said. I had no choice in January, 2008. I had to board my dachshund, even though she was in rapid descent and on many medications. I couldn’t leave her with a friend because I didn’t want a friend to have to experience her death while I was away. When I picked her up, her tail almost fell off from wagging. The first time I met her, 15 years earlier, her tail almost fell off from wagging. But back then it was not much more than a red comma. On that day in January in 2008 she was very happy to see me, and she would never be that happy again. She died a month later. I had an art opening a while ago. Thousands of my former students still live in Denver. Former art students attend art openings. Some of them don’t remember me. I don’t remember most of them. A man walked in the door a few minutes before the gallery closed. He looked familiar. He also looked a little empty. I tried to find him in my memories but I couldn’t. I hadn’t seen him in 30 years. “You don’t look worse for wear,” he said to me. He did. I guessed that the calendars had pulled on his income and health and opportunities. His appearance made me feel younger than I am, and I am older than he is. Why? Retirement and medical benefits? Heredity? Douglas County is full of me. Boomers. I don’t mind that name. I am lucky to be one, and very lucky to be around to be one. But I have known that there is exit music for all of us since I was in my 20s and my hair started to gray. Now I am a genuine codger, not just codger-looking. I don’t want to be forever young, or to live forever. I just read about a woman who is 114 and was photographed kicking a soccer ball. I hope to be long gone by 114. I sure don’t want someone to say to a friend of mine, “You’re here for the old one,” meaning me. My hope is to paint for another 10 years, quit, and just write and read. By then I

will have done all of the paintings I need to make (or should make). Picasso, on the other hand, painted until he was 91 and created more than 250,000 works of art in his lifetime. Some artists end their own lives, intentionally or unintelligently. I think if Marvin Gaye had it to do over, he would have stayed away from the drug life that eventually killed him (at his father’s hand). Sid Vicious probably knew he wasn’t going to have a long life. There’s a new television program that documents the final 24 hours of someone’s life. It’s an interesting idea. Most of us don’t know what will happen to us in our final 24 hours. The show mixes together actual footage and re-enacted events. There’s even a time clock. The ones I have seen have been about celebrities. Mostly musicians. I guess if you have been sentenced to death, you know exactly what’s going to happen. You walk the Green Mile after cornbread, for instance. People always say that life is short, but the truth is that it’s the longest period of time you are ever going to know. I don’t want to hang around after I can no longer make what one writer referred to as “the connection.” He said that meant as a writer you can no longer find the right words. Of course, that is a profound conceit. I don’t mind: artists are generally profoundly conceited. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

regular basis that they have jobs for which they cannot find people who have the required training. Quite often they express the frustration of being ready to move ahead with production of products but not having the skilled workers. We point to this need and encourage business, as well as schools and economic development organizations, to seek new ways to provide the training that matches emerging needs. Of course, we recognize much work that is continually being done in this effort by business, education and economic development agencies to meet these needs. The needs are simply constant, constantly changing and growing in many di-

rections. We emphasize Colorado — which has an increasingly diverse economic structure — was a considerable challenge. At the same time, we echo the Statehouse resolution compliment to “the everincreasing cooperative efforts of career and technical educators with business and industry to stimulate the growth and vitality of the local economy and that of the entire nation.” And further we note the rigorous efforts of the state’s education system, where 39 percent of high school students from over 160 school districts are enrolled in one or more career and technical education programs. The effort is there and should be encouraged and enhanced.

I will get to that tomorrow This week has been one of those crazy busy weeks for me. It was full of calls, meetings, travel, and lots of reports, proposals and presentations to write, prepare for, and deliver. Normally I am well organized and avoid falling too far behind. This year I made a commitment to stay organized by having a more focused and prioritized “to-do” list. It has made a significant difference for me in that I am accomplishing so much more. This week, however, I found myself getting caught up in the procrastination game, telling myself, “I will get to that tomorrow.” Well you know what happens right? We all know what happens. More things come up, more calls, more meetings, last minute tasks or issues and now all of the items on my initial “to-do” list become compromised. And in order to complete everything I found myself taking shortcuts and not giving each project, person, or task the attention they truly deserved. By procrastinating I found myself being

spread too thin. Has this ever happened to you? I bet it has. An attitude of “I will get to that tomorrow” can quickly become a bad habit. And as I looked back over the last month and a half I can see very clearly that my commitment to being more organized had really helped me to become more productive and less stressed out. In comparison to this week, the contrast was like night and day as my procrastination left me completely unproductive and extremely stressed. And it all started out so well, it really Norton continues on Page 11

LETTER TO THE EDITOR C-470 panel may be circumventing voters

I am confused why the entity known as the C-470 Corridor Coalition Steering Committee seemingly has the authority to decide how to proceed on a $290 million construction project. Apparently they realize they would likely fail in a direct vote to increase taxes, so they appear to be circumventing voters, instead basing their decision on polls. Why not just let the citizens of the corridor vote directly, or is that already the plan? The committee framed the question to consist of selecting among three options to fund expansion, but the real question is not how to fund the project, but whether to fund this particular project. Voters should be asked whether they want the current road, which may become

badly congested due to growth, versus (1) years of construction and (2) the risk of inadequate toll revenue and/or overspending on construction (similar to the recent RTD light rail expansion). How many people will be willing to pay 35 cents per mile, unless their company pays for them, creating a two-tiered system of BMWs full of solitary business professionals whisking by their fellow citizens? Many voters probably also suspect that even the people using the non-toll lanes will eventually subsidize the toll lane expansion if cost projections prove to be wrong and everybody gets stuck with the bill, so why not ask them to vote whether they want that risk?

So, how are the children? At church services across Colorado, you’ll often hear, “How are the children?” Knowing that this is one of my major policy areas, constituents ask me that question frequently. I’m happy to report that this session, we’re continuing to work for kids in Colorado. It has been said that if there’s any role of government, it should be to help protect children and the most vulnerable. • My first bill of 2013, SB 13-008, Eliminate Waiting Period Under Children’s Basic Health Plan, has passed through Senate Health and Human Services and Appropriations committees. It now moves on to the floor for debate. Currently, Colorado requires a child to be uninsured for three months before enrolling in the Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) if a child has been previously insured by a comparable health plan through an employer who has contributed 50 percent of the dependent’s premium cost. SB 13-008 is seeking to eliminate this waiting period for enrollment in CHP+ for children who meet all other enrollment criteria. Our state is currently ranked 41st in the nation for insuring our kids. This bill will bring relief and peace of mind to many deserving Colorado families as well as saving taxpayer dollars! • My second bill, SB 13-047, Protections for Youth in Foster Care Against Identity Theft, unanimously passed through the Senate’s Health and Human Services Committee. Children in foster care are three times more likely to experience identity theft because their personal information passes through so many hands, increasing the chances that someone will open an account in their name or use their Social Security number. Since being in the “system” is hard enough as it is, SB 13-047 seeks to prevent children in foster care from being re-victimized by offering them protections against identity theft. (This is an improvement on my bill from a couple of years ago addressing this issue.) • This year, I am continuing to chair the Children’s Caucus, which is a bipartisan, bicameral group of legislators that focuses on policy and current issues about children. Over the session, we will hear expert presentations and discuss child protection, early childhood and K-12 education, children’s physical and mental health, and juvenile justice. To find more information about the 2013 Children’s Caucus, please visit http://cochildrenscaucus. weebly.com/. • You will also be hearing about our Child Protection Agenda that we’re working on with Gov. Hickenlooper. I am leading a core group of legislators who came forward with me to work on this critical issue. Together, we have come up with a slate of legislative bills and executive actions that will better the lives of children and, potentially, save lives as well. As we get closer to action on those, I’ll share them with you, but very good news for the children of Colorado. You are welcome to contact me at the Capitol or in the district at 303-866-4846 or Linda.Newell.Senate@gmail. com. State Sen. Linda Newell represents District 26, which includes Littleton, western Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, part of Englewood, Sheridan, Columbine Valley and portions of Bow Mar.

did. I mean I had my list and my plan, it was focused and prioritized. I was in an excellent position to succeed. However, I failed to execute the plan. I pushed tasks aside, delayed calls, and justified it all to myself by saying I would still get it all done. Everything that I was putting off was just little things, small tasks, quick calls. The problem was that even though they were trivial in my mind, they became bigger as the week wore on. It was a painful lesson but one that I guess I needed to learn. Nothing good comes from procrastinating. There are many benefits derived from carefully planning and preparing, prioritizing and staying focused, but only if we execute the plan. Like that old saying, “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” This is such great wisdom that can really help us to develop a good habit of getting things done and getting them done on time. What is holding you back from getting through your “to-do” list? Are there real barriers or just an attitude of “I will get to that tomorrow?” I would love to hear all about it, and as always, let’s make this a better than good week.

Diane Lucille Oates Nolen was born November 14, 1937 at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Los Angeles, California to Florence Orzella Marsh and Ernest Oates. Diane is survived by her six daughters; Kenna (Winston) Tripp, Kerry (Jack) Fetherston, Karla (Jerry) Lee, Kristen (Kevin) Canaday, Kelly (Clay) Shubin, Kim (Graham) Allen, 17 grandchildren, 6 greatgrandchildren, sister Irene Cattani of Arizona, and Foster brother Ed Wells of California. Diane was the youngest of 4 children born within 3 1/2 years. Growing up with an older brother and two older sisters in Pasadena, California on Cherry Drive where the kids were not only close in age, but also very a very close knit family. When she was eight years old the family had an unusual opportunity to buy 4 acres at 407 Laguna Road, in Pasadena California. This opened up a whole new world of opportunities for the Oates children. For a year the family lived in the midst of the remodel with no kitchen and only outdoor access to the upstairs bedrooms. This was quite the adventure for the family. They had horses, sheep, a goat, chickens and rabbits. They joined Future Farmers of America, and got the family’s first dog, Flag. They had their own touch of country living right in the heart of the city. Diane was a tomboy growing up, she rode horses, climbed ropes, built tree houses, and loved sports. She was President of the Girls Athletic Association (GAA) at McKinley Jr. High. She was a cheerleader in junior high and High School as well as actively participated in sports and intermural sports. She was Homecoming and

Prom Queen in High School. At BYU she was an attendant to Snow Queen, a ski instructor, and active in her CamiLos social unit. It was at BYU her sophomore year she met the love of her life, Phil. Phil proposed in February 1957, and they were married September 13th, 1957, in the Los Angeles LDS Temple. Phil and Diane went on to graduate from BYU in June 1959, where she was 6 months pregnant with Kenna. Diane received her degree in Physical Education and Modern Dance. Phil took a job in Yuma, Arizona to work construction for his brother and Diane applied for a job at an Elementary school that went through 8th grade. The school board hired her sight unseen, 6 months pregnant for the next school year. They had to make arrangements for her to start a month late, as Kenna was born September 1st, 1959. This was a wonderful experience for her as the school district covered agricultural areas as well as an Indian Reservation. Some of the students came to the school from homes with no running water or electricity. Some of the students smelled of a bonfire all winter because they lived in tar paper shacks on the Colorado River & the bonfire was their only source of heat. This was an eye opener for a city girl. Phil built their first of many homes together in Yuma. They had great fun working and making friends in Yuma, Kerry was born there and they stayed until Phil took a job in California. In 1962 They moved to La Crescenta, California where Phil worked for 3 years and Karla

was born here and Diane substitute taught in the Glendale and Pasadena school systems. In 1965 Phil founded Nolen Construction. They moved to Northridge, CA. in 1966 when Diane was pregnant with Kristen, Kelly and Kim were all born. Diane was a pioneer in the aerobics world, teaching classes choreographed to music at the local parks and recreation and later at the Los Angeles board of education. She enjoyed teaching for over 12 years, continuing when they moved to Littleton, Colorado in 1972. Diane was not only active in the community, she was a room mother for 12 consecutive years and PTO president at Littleton High School while the girls attended. She started the Green Oaks swim team in 1975 and ran the program for 8 years. All her children and many grandchildren swam for the Green Oaks Gators. Diane took her passion for dance and education and choreographed road shows and stake musicals as well as 2 musicals at Euclid Junior High. She faithfully served the church in many capacitates including Primary president twice, Young women’s president twice, in 2 Relief society presidencies. She taught primary, Sunday School and young women all while raising 6 daughters . Diane was was the car-pool queen, carting the girls to piano (thank you Audrey Beck), ballet, gymnastics, swim team, soccer and cheerleading events. Diane loved to ski and passed the passion onto the girls, going to Winter Park virtually every Saturday during the season, making

sure to get the value out of those season passes. Diane was very involved with the Colorado Ballet, bringing her passion for the arts to the community. She served as President of Denver Ballet guild, Les Cygnettes, and the Colorado Ballet Auxiliary. She chaired the Central City home tour and not only served on the boards but is a Lifetime Member of Arapahoe House, Families First, The Gathering place, Kemp Foundation, Denver Center Alliance, Children’s Diabetes and The Colorado Ballet Auxiliary. After serving for 23 years on the Colorado Ballet board of Trustees, she was made a lifetime Honorary Trustee. Diane’s passion for dance and education inspired her to start the Education program at the ballet where inner-city students are brought to a live afternoon performance for a very nominal fee. She ran this program as a volunteer for 10 years until they were finally able to hire a paid education director for the ballet. Phil and Diane were constant companions and inspired each other to expand their horizons, Phil decided to run marathons, so Diane joined the fun, running 5 marathons in her 40’s and 50’s. They enjoyed riding bikes on world tours with their friends as well as across Iowa for many years. Phil learned to love the ballet and Diane came to appreciate the ranch and round up. Nothing brought Diane more joy and happiness than being with her children and grandchildren. The grandchildren especially enjoyed their “special day” with grandma Diane for their birthdays and other special events.

jsmith@ourcoloradonews. com As plans for multifamily housing throughout the city proliferate, some people decry renters while others take offense. “Renters are not equivalent to homeowners in a community,” said Amy Reed, owner of The Melting Pot, during the final hearing on the Nevada Place project in the heart of downtown. She cited concerns about crime and residents’ financial and civic investment. “I don’t think that’s based in fact,” replied Charles Jordy. “I think it’s kind of a scare tactic. … It’s a path that’s chosen by many people at many points in their life.” During the hearing, Littleton Councilor Jim Taylor mentioned a 2007 Colorado law that’s deterring developers from building for-sale condos. Taylor is the chair of the Denver Regional Council of Governments’ Metro Vision Implementation Task Force. While DRCOG has not taken a formal stance on the law, known as the Homeowner Protection Act, it is in the process of studying its effects. “We met with the Colorado Home Builder Association, which regaled us with war stories of lawsuits that

City council recently approved doubling the density at the second phase of Nevada Place apartments in downtown Littleton. Photo by Jennifer Smith builders of for-sale units have lost,” said Taylor. “A short synopsis is that an unnamed law firm would purchase a unit, find something wrong and contact the HOA — required by law to be established — about a lawsuit. The HOA would join in a lawsuit against the builder for correction of the defect. To stop expensive litigation, the builder would settle.” Taylor said other factors affecting building patterns include customer preference, foreclosures, the recession and overabundance of inventory. The bill forced builders to stop the common practice of making buyers sign contracts that waived their rights to sue for claims of negligence.

Realtors loved it. “Realtors believe (the 2007 law) made homeowners who were victims of construction defects whole,” announced the Realtors Association in a flier. “Homeowners that are legitimately victimized today still have a cause for action to recover damages.” Builders and chambers of commerce, however, are supporting bills to decrease risk. “Since 2007 … the percentage of owner-occupied, multi-family units built in the Denver metro area has declined from 25 percent of all units built to 2 percent,” reads a CHBA flier. “With the increased risk of litigation, developers have clearly avoided construction of new multi-fam-

ily development,” the flier Guns added. City staff opened the door to more multifamily projects last year by applying for urban-center status from DRCOG. Those are defined as “active, pedestrian-, bicycle-, and transit-friendly places that are more dense and mixed in use than surrounding areas.” Urban centers are often near light-rail stations, as a major focus is on reducing driving and the resultant pollution. The Englewood and Lucent stations, for example, are so designated. Ideally, according to DRCOG, many people who live in the area would also work there, thus the higher density.

Business group calls for cutting leash to past Leaders support development, density By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Norman Stucker says it’s time for Littleton businesses to get down to business. “I don’t feel like we’ve been united in the past,” said Stucker, chair of the new Littleton Business Coalition, during the group’s Feb. 14 meeting. LBC is busily taking pro-development stands on the many projects crawling out of the city’s woodwork. “In Littleton, that’s where the battles have been fought,” he said. “It’s been fought between pro-development and anti-development. … Let Littleton decide what Littleton wants

to be, and not be constrained to the past by some leash.” LBC has publicly supported Littleton Commons, an apartment project proposed for County Line Road and Erickson Boulevard, and the Nevada Place density increase. Stucker was one of just a minority who spoke in favor of the latter during a five-hour public hearing Feb. 11. “The fact that we have council meetings that go into the wee hours means that we live in a passionate community, and that’s good,” he said. But he urged members of LBC to move forward in a formalized way to speak with one voice. “This is a substantive group that can have a huge impact on the community for decades to come,” said John Brackney, chair of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce.

The group is reaching out particularly to large companies like Littleton Adventist Hospital and CenturyLink. “I fear, especially the larger businesses in Littleton, we have not been engaged in the community enough,” he said. Councilor Bruce Stahlman implored the group to help the city help business. “There are 40,000 people in the community, and consistently we don’t hear from 39,800 of them,” he said. Councilor Bruce Beckman added that the business world likely has the most power of any faction of the community. “We can make Littleton’s government more approachable,” he said. “Then we can get out of the way of people who want to make things happen.”

Hickenlooper backs some gun-control efforts Governor supports limiting magazines By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Gov. John Hickenlooper on Feb. 14 said he supports at least a few of the major firearms-related bills that are being sponsored by Democratic state lawmakers, the first time he has done so since the recent unveiling of a controversial gun-control package that is being sponsored by members of his own party. But Hickenlooper isn’t prepared at this time to give his approval to all eight of the bills that Democrats are proposing this legislative session, including ones that would hold gun makers and owners liable for crimes that involved assault weapons, and one that would ban concealed guns on college campuses.

flier

The Independent 13

Hickenlooper’s comments on those controversial guns issues came during an expansive interview with members of the Capitol press corps, one where the governor also talked about other hot-button issues, such as oil and gas drilling, marijuana regulations, and the possibility of a repeal of the state’s death penalty. The interview took place inside Hickenlooper’s office, on the eve of votes in Hickenlooper the House of Representatives on four pieces of guncontrol legislation. All four bills ended up passing the House on Feb. 19, following marathon-like sessions that spanned two days. The governor said he supports three of those measures, including one that would limit the number of rounds that high-capacity ammunition magazines can carry.

The current bill would ban magazines that carry more than 15 rounds, but Hickenlooper said that lawmakers “might end up having to compromise.” “Certainly, there might be a number in there that makes sense,” he said. Hickenlooper also said he supports a separate bill that would impose a fee on gun buyers’ own background checks, which right now is somewhere in the neighborhood of $10. Hickenlooper acknowledged that his support for the fee is “controversial” and something that he is going to “catch a lot of heat” for, but that it’s the right thing to do. “The folks that are needing … or making use of this regulatory environment, it’s not unreasonable for them to pay the cost of that,” the governor said. Hickenlooper also reiterated his support for background checks for private gun sales and transfers, something he already said he favored during his State of the State speech

last month. However, Hickenlooper was not prepared to voice support for a bill that would ban concealed weapons on college campuses. Nor was he ready to support an assault weapons liability bill that’s being worked on by Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs. Hickenlooper said he wants to see what the final versions of those bills look like, before deciding where he stands. Republicans have fought Democratic gun-control efforts tooth and nail. And they believe that Democrats will pay a price for overreaching in the 2014 election cycle. Hickenlooper said he thinks Colorado residents support many gun-control efforts. “I’m not sure it’s anti-guns,” he said. “It’s trying to make sure that our community is safer.”

In tran-both mass shootings, the killers used hight arecapacity magazines. d in But Republicans called the 15-round g ar-limit an arbitrary measure that does nothing to keep people safe. Republicans also oftencautioned Democrats that Colorado may as aend up losing jobs in the firearms industry ucingif the bill becomes law. ltant The concerns over the potential for loss of jobs led Democrats to add an amendd Lu-ment that would allow gun and ammunimple,tion manufacturers to continue to do business in the state, a move that was blasted by toRepublicans. who “How ironic!” said Rep. Jerry Sonnenalsoberg, R-Sterling. “Now we know what this gherbill is all about. It’s all about the money!”

But Rep. Beth McCann, D-Denver, said the bill “is a matter of public safety of Coloradans.” “This bill does not require any Colorado company to leave Colorado. It will be their choice,” McCann said.

No guns on campus

The House also passed a bill that seeks to ban concealed weapons from being carried on college campuses. Rep. Libby Szabo, R-Arvada, was among several Republicans who said that banning law-abiding students from bringing concealed weapons on campuses would result in innocent people not being able to defend themselves in the case of a mass shooting. The bill passed by a 34-31 margin, with Lebsock, Garcia and Vigil voting no.

Passing the background checks

McCann and Fields also co-sponsored a bill requiring background checks for all gun

sales and transfers, one that passed by a 3629 vote margin, with Vigil the lone Democrat voting no. And a bill imposing fees on those background checks resulted in the closest vote margin of the four bills, passing by a 33-32 vote. Democratic Reps. Diane Mitsch Bush of Steamboat Springs and Dave Young of Greeley joining Garcia and Vigil in voting against the bill.

Split decisions

Vigil explained why he wasn’t supporting his own party’s gun measures on the House floor on Feb. 15, saying that in crimes where mass shootings take place, “mental health is the common thread.” “It’s who’s behind the trigger that makes the difference,” Vigil said. “Those people aren’t right in their minds when they do those things.” Lebsock said in an email to constituents on Feb. 18 that his split votes on the four

guns bills were “a moderate, responsible approach” to the guns issue. In opposing the bill that would ban concealed weapons from being brought on college campuses, Lebsock said, “Citizens who have a permit to carry are law-abiding, responsible citizens.” Adding more intrigue to the two days of debate on the House floor was the buzz generated on Feb. 15, when it was learned that Biden had reached out to a handful of Democratic lawmakers before the House vote. Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, confirmed to Colorado Community Media that Biden did call him to “offer a few encouraging words” about the Democratic guns package, and told him that “all eyes are on Colorado.” But House Minority Leader Mark Waller of Colorado Springs used his Twitter account to mock Biden’s involvement, saying that Democrats are looking to “East Coast politicians for guidance on gun bills” and that Biden was “telling them what to do.”

Best-selling author comes to area Jennifer Weiner scheduled to appear in March By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com As part of its Project Live! series, Douglas County Libraries will welcome best-selling author Jennifer Weiner to the Highlands Ranch Mansion. Weiner, whose books include “Good in Bed” and “Little Earthquakes,” will appear March 7. A former features writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer, Weiner is working on her 10th book, which she hopes to have out in 2014. While not on tour with a new work — her last novel was published in 2011 — the Princeton graduate said she usually does about five to six speaking engagements a year. “Some authors hate being out in public, but I really like it,” she said. “Writing fiction is very lonely work — it’s just you and your imagination — so I really enjoy being out, and wearing my grownup clothes.” Weiner, who had desired to be an author since abandoning her youthful dream of becoming a ballerina, plans to talk about all the trials and tribulations that go along with the profession. “I like to tell stories,” she said,

A brief Q&A with Jennifer Weiner Do you ever miss being a journalist and what was your most memorable assignment? I loved being a journalist, and I miss it to this day. I had a lot of memorable assignments, including the interview I did with Adam Sandler, where I asked him (okay, forced him) to record the outgoing message on my answering machine. How long did you work on that first novel? “Good in Bed” took me about a year to write. Then it took another few months to find an agent to represent it, and three months after that to revise the book to my agent’s satisfaction. The good news was, after all that time, the book sold very quickly. My agent presented it to publishers on a Thursday, and we had our first offer the following Tuesday. That was a very exciting week! Talk about what it was like to watch “Good in Bed” hit the best-seller list and then have its follow-up made into a movie? In a word, those early successes felt surreal. Working as a newspaper reporter, and interviewing other novelists and writing about publishing, I knew what typically happens to a first novel - it gets published with great fanfare and hope, and then doesn’t sell well, outside of the author’s immediate family and circle of friends. I’ll never forget where I was and how I felt when I learned that “Good in Bed” had made the bestseller list. … The film version of “In Her Shoes” was an amazing experience that I’ll talk about at my reading. The short version is that it was one of the highlights of my life, because my Nanna got to be an extra … and I got to be, for the first time in my life, the number-one grandchild. (It didn’t last). “about being a writer, about being a mother, about having a book made into a movie and about my family. So instead of just reading from one of my books, I talk about my life. “The question-and-answer segment is always my favorite part. It’s always interesting, and surprising, to find out what readers want to know. For example, people are usually inexplicably interested in my schedule and my tools. They want to know what time of day I do my writing, and whether I use a laptop or write longhand.”

For the record, Weiner said she likes to start writing in mid-morning and works into early afternoon. Additionally, she does her work on a MacBook Pro. Her books will be for sale at the event courtesy of The Tattered Cover and fans will have a chance to get them signed. There will be light appetizers, a cash bar and an opportunity for guests to get to enjoy the Highlands Ranch Mansion, 9900 Ranch Road. Tickets are $30 each and available at www.douglascountylibraries.org. For more information, call 303-791-7323.

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK Joan Rogliano , CRS, GRI, CLHMS, REDS with families going through the transitions of divorce and What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? When not working I enjoy all sports, especially running, and widowhood. What to do with the marital home is the largest REALTOR®

Rogliano Real Estate Group 2 West Dry Creek Circle #100 Littleton, CO 80120 303.667.5485 joan@roglianorealestategroup.com www.roglianorealestategroup.com Where were you born? How long have you lived in the area? What do you like most about it? I was born in Bronxville, NY and have lived in Denver for about 30 years. While I love the energy of the east coast, Colorado has a lifestyle that is incomparable, revolving around 300 days of sunshine. Denver is a wonderful blend of cultural offerings and provides recreational adventures regardless of your interests. It is a true Mecca for people from all across the country and is actually now becoming recognized as a wonderful place to retire. This contributes to the friendly outgoing nature of new acquaintances—also a draw.

financial decision most families make, and it is highly emotional. For both of these reasons families need to be fully informed before moving forward. To best serve my clients in this transition, I now hold the national designation of being a Real Estate Divorce Specialist (REDS). Holding this designation has prepared me to understand the anatomy of divorce, and the vital role a Realtor plays in providing a team approach to resolution. There is no one size fits all in divorce and each family’s best interest must be of primary importance. This is probably one of the major challenges in this specialization. There is frequently so much pain and anxiety that people want to “just get it over with” and don’t look at all the financial, legal, tax and emotional consequences of their decision about the marital home. Often they are instructed that they don’t have choices, when frequently they do.

like to take advantage of all the rich cultural offerings in our area.

Gather all the facts before proceeding and speak with a number of loan originators to compare rates, costs and service. Work with a Realtor who has a trusted team of experts in place to work with you toward your short and long term goals. What is the most unusual thing you have encountered while working in Real Estate? The most pleasantly unusual thing I have encountered while working in real estate is the pure joy that this practice has brought to my life- even after all these years!

SHORT SALES John Kokish Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C. Attorneys At Law 380 Perry St., #220 Castle Rock, CO 80104 (303) 688-3535 jkokish@kgattys.com

hile the real estate market in Colorado purportedly is showing signs of life, there still are thousands of homes in foreclosures and/or on the market for short sales. Although a short sale is surrounded by complexities and mystifies homeowners who are not familiar with the process, there is no question that short sales, although not for everyone, have some substantial advantages over allowing a home to go though the foreclosure process. Simply defined, a short sale is one in which the lender, usually a bank, is willing to extinguish a deed of trust or mortgage for an amount less than the balance due on the loan. For example, if the balance on the loan is $200,000, and the lender is willing to

cancel the note for $150,000 more or less, provided the seller finds a buyer willing to pay the reduced amount. A lender will do this because accepting a lesser amount often is more economical than shouldering the expense of a foreclosure and then pursuing a deficiency, which it almost never gets. In addition, the amount that the lender gets from the short sale is often more than it would receive from a foreclosure, once all of the foreclosure costs, sales commissions and other expenses are subtracted from the often laborious process of selling the property. For the struggling homeowner, a short sale has less of an impact on the homeowner’s credit score than the devastating effect of a foreclosure. In addition, depending on the nature of the short sale and the deficiency accrued by the homeowner; the homeowner may be eligible to purchase another home in anywhere from two to four years; where it would take some seven years if the bank takes the home back through foreclosure. The homeowner would be wise to consider a short sale before falling too far behind on his mortgage payments, since the consequence of default on the mortgage payment will sometimes outweigh the benefits of

a short sale. Unfortunately, a short sale is not necessarily an easy road to redemption, especially for the buyer. A buyer looking to purchase a property at a bargain price may have to be somewhat flexible in order to learn if a significant price reduction will be accepted by the bank, since no short sale can occur without the lender’s approval. This can take anywhere from a few months up to a year. A person who needs a home within a certain time would be better off going in another direction. Additionally, the Colorado Real Estate Commission requires that all short sale contracts contain a short sale addendum, which allows either party to cancel the contract at any time for any reason. This takes away the certainty that the contract will indeed close, and essentially nullifies the inspection clause of the contract since short sale lenders generally require that the property be sold “as is.” On the other hand, a property in foreclosure is often in far worse condition than a property subject to a short sale, since the owners attempting the short sale generally are still living in the home. One major advantage of a short sale and even a foreclosure is the recent extension of the Mortgage

Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007. Before the act was passed, an individual completing a short sale may get forgiveness of the difference between the amount owed on the loan and the amount the bank is willing to take for the property. However, the bank was required to give the homeowner an IRS Form 1099, in which the Internal Revenue Service saddles the homeowner with ordinary income for the difference. In other words, if the amount of the loan were $150,000.00, and the amount the bank accepts is $100,000.00, the homeowner would end up paying income tax on $50,000. Under the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief

Act, that debt forgiveness becomes tax free, provided the home is the seller’s primary residence. While the act was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012, the “fiscal cliff ” compromise reached by Congress extended through January 1, 2014, the tax-free aspect of the debt forgiveness. The Act also covers deficiencies created by foreclosure. Because there are so many twists to a short sale, it is strongly recommended that a homeowner considering a short sale, as either buyer or seller, utilize the services of a competent real estate broker or attorney knowledgeable in the short sale market. n

Wheelchair rugby shakes it up Teams clash in fast-paced action at tournament By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews. com Wheelchair athletes filled the air with the sounds of their bone-jarring collisions Feb. 9 and 10 during the Mile High Mayhem Rugby Tournament at Englewood High School. The two-day tournament drew teams from Florida, California, Nevada and Arizona as well as two squads from the Craig Hospital-sponsored Denver Harlequins. On Feb. 9 Jason Regier, a Harlequin player, was taping his arms and hands in preparation for a game. “I was in Craig about 15 years ago when I saw my first wheelchair rugby tournament,” the Centennial resident said. “I really liked what I saw of the game. I guess I was hooked and a year later, I joined the team. I like the attitude for teammates and other players on and off the court and I like the game as part of my active lifestyle.” He said playing wheelchair rugby is part of making sure to live life to its fullest and a way to show that guys in wheelchairs can still play active, hard-hitting sports and can still travel. Regier has traveled exten-

He explained that the game is a four-on-four matchup on a basketball court. The object is to use the blocks of teammates in order to break free of defenders and get at least two wheels across the end line to score a goal. The game is divided into eight-minute quarters. Breaking a rule sends the offender into the penalty box, giving the opposition a man-up advantage. Players set picks and screens on attack and defenders go in

hard to try to keep the player with the ball away from the goal line. The ball can be carried but the ball carrier must dribble or pass the ball every 10 seconds. The team on offense has 40 seconds to score a goal or the ball goes over to the opponent so the action moves quickly so there are aggressive plays to stop the attack like high-impact collisions that are bone-jarring for the blocker and the blockee. The impact can flatten tires or even knock the wheelchairs over. In either case, support staff has one minute to right the chair or change the wheel. Players are in special wheelchairs customized to fit them and are 4- to 6-inches lower than a regular chair.

The rugby wheelchairs also have a metal bumper-style system on the front and, to increase speed, the wheels are cambered at a greater angle. Wheels are solid metal instead of being made of spokes and are mounted on a quick-release system to make them easy to change. On the court, spectators cheered their favorite teams and the metal-on-metal wheelchair collisions. It was a different atmosphere in the cafeteria Feb. 9 as the Craig Hospital-sponsored Denver Harlequins prepared for their game with the University of Arizona Wildcats. Harlequins veteran Adam Scaturro was taping his hands and arms for the game. “I’ve been playing for 14 years, I love the sport and I started playing when I was still going to Lakewood High School,” he said. “To me, wheelchair rugby provides a level playing field for all athletes and I love the fastpaced action on the floor.” He said when he goes into the game, he brings leadership, experience and high intensity. Parker resident Robert Schuler joined the Harlequins about four years go. “I really like the sport,” he said. “It is great exercise, it keeps me active and it is a great community of friends. The game also pushes me to get better because I want to improve my play to help my team win.”

Denver Restaurant Week (Feb. 23-March 8) has set a new record number of participating restaurants with 351, up 339 from last year. The 14-day food fest and feast will have participating eateries offering a multicourse dinner for the “Mile High” price of $52.80 for two or $26.40 for one with tax and tip not included. Don’t forget to tip on the “real” price, not the discounted one. “We believe that with 351 restaurants, Denver Restaurant Week is the largest restaurant week in the nation,” Visit Denver chief Richard Scharf said. Last year, a record 404,400 meals were served. As of Feb. 8, prospective diners had looked at more than 3.3 million pages of menus, an average of eight menus per visit to the site. Scharf noted that this year there are: • 82 new restaurants participating in DRW for the first time; • 195 restaurants offering vegetarian options; • 26 restaurants offering gluten-free options; • 82 restaurants offering beer, wine or drinks as part of their DRW menu; • 94 restaurants in just downtown Denver. Be warned that reservations for the most popular DRW participants are all but gone (you might get lucky with a 5 p.m. or 9:30 p.m. seating), but you can comb through www.opentable.com and click on the Denver Restaurant Week page to enter a time and date, and click on “find a table.” The page will show you which of the 212 restaurants on Open Table have availability. On the www.denverrestaurantweek. com site, click on a restaurant menu, and then hit the “add to must-dine list,” which will show up on your Facebook page to let friends know that you are interested in dining at this restaurant and seeing if anyone wants to join you.

Littleton Fine Arts Board’s 47th

South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce announces 3rd Annual “B.I.G. Day” Dozens of area non-profits with thousands of volunteers working together makes for a great day. And, that’s the goal for the 2013 edition of the B.I.G. Day set for Saturday, April 20th from 8:30 to 12:00. The third installment of this annual event promises to be bigger and more productive than ever. “Last year’s event surpassed all our expectations,” says John Brackney, President and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. “Over 2,000 volunteers spent a Saturday morning at 22 non-profit agencies. Non-profits got to showcase all they do to volunteers from the business community and relationships were created. Best of all, everyone had a great time. We expect this year to be continue the tradition of getting bigger and better each year!” B.I.G. stands for “Be Involved, Give.” Because of the huge success of last year’s event, the goal is to have over two-thousand volunteers spend Saturday morning at even more non-

profits. Laurian Horowitz, Owner/Instructor of Colorado Life Lessons is again coordinating the sign-up of local nonprofits interested in taking part in what’s become an annual event that thousands look forward to. “The BIG (Be Involved Give) Day is an amazing day where our community can come together to volunteer.” says Horowitz. “For a nonprofit, it is a great opportunity to showcase themselves, to a new audience perhaps, and gain long term volunteers, monetary and in kind donations, as well as join forces with service organizations to complete huge projects in a short period of time.” Last year’s B.I.G. Day volunteers did everything from planting the community garden at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, to painting the historic Bemis Residence for Western Welcome Week, to trail clean up with the South Suburban Park Foundation, to putting together and delivering meals for TLC Meals on Wheels.

Employee Wellness Programs Made Easy at Chamber Health & Wellness Open House Research supports the fact that employee wellness programs promoting increased physical activity, among other healthy lifestyle changes, do make a difference. The benefits are numerous and not only positively impact employees, but can also impact employers and their bottom lines. Research done by American Sports Data shows those individuals who exercise frequently stayed home from work on an average 2.11 days annually compared to 3.06 days for individuals who were sedentary. These statistics alone stress the importance of setting up corporate wellness programs. A two-year study to compare employee attitudes at companies participating in a comprehensive health promotion program found significant changes in attitudes toward organizational commitment, supervision, working conditions, job competence, job security, and pay and fringe benefits. Wellness programs demonstrate to employees that their health is important and that their employers know and care about this aspect. Statistics demonstrate that employees who exercise regularly and lead healthy life styles incur 31% lower health care costs than employees who live sedentary, unhealthy lifestyles. The Chamber’s Health & Wellness Initiative is making it easy for Chamber Investors with 5 or more employees to add a wellness program (or supplement a current one) as a benefit to their employees. On Thursday, February 21st, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm, the group will be hosting an Open House with wellness professionals to learn about what they do and why this type of program can increase efficiency and happiness in the workplace and they are offering FREE programming! Topics to be discussed include Aging Well, Worksite Wellness, Wellness Assessments, Motivation To Change, Nutrition, Relationships, Self-Esteem and Body Image, Violence Prevention, Mental Health and Wellness, Women’s Wellness, Men’s Wellness and more. The event will include opportunities to network with wellness professionals as well as door prizes.

Former Rocky Mountain News editor Michael Madigan relaxes in his Arvada basement.

Stories that shaped Colorado 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 paper’s existence. Madigan’s 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. 27, 2009, just under two months 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.” The book kicks off with the tale of the paper’s very first edition being created in a second-floor office above a saloon alongside Cherry Creek on April 23, 1859. It covers the assassinations of Lincoln, Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., the completion of the Denver Pacific Railroad, the Broncos first Super Bowl and the Hayman Fire. There’s the death of Billy the Kid, Colorado becoming the second state to pass women’s suffrage, 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. The Arvada resident has spent much of the past three years - while not working on his upcoming novel due out in August - talking about the book with historical societies, book clubs and senior clubs around the Denver metro area. “I think the real star of the book and of the programs I give are the front

pages,” Madigan said before a recent scheduled event in Highlands Ranch. “Being able to look back at these I find just fascinating.” At his presentations he typically discusses how each of the front pages were selected, the stylistic differences in how varying events were reported and shares some of the surprises that came with doing the project, such as how Lincoln’s assassination wound up on Page 2 as opposed to Page 1 and why it still made the book. He also can’t make an appearance without having someone come up to him and talk about how much they miss the Rocky, some with tears in their eyes. “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,” Madigan said. Now all that’s left of the publication is what started out simply as the “@150 project.” The book, along with Madigan’s “Historic Photos of Denver in the 50s, 60s, and 70s” - which tells the tale of urban renewal in the city through black and white photographs - can be found at bookstores throughout the area and is available online.

Beautiful bicycles displayed in Denver The North American Handmade Bicycle Show comes to town

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Bicycle artisans and designers will meet with potential customers looking for a custom-made bicycle to talk the talk and share ideas about a highly-specialized industry with a history dating back to 1819. The North American Handmade Bicycle Show, scheduled at the Denver Convention Center Feb. 22-24, will bring exhibits by more than 185 exhibitors (a record), including 29 companies from nine foreign countries. A crowd of more than 7,000 is expected onsite and a global audience will connect via websites, online videos, podcasts and blogs reporting from the show. Colorado is ranked No. 4 in the Cycling Friendly States listing of the League of American Bicyclists and 37 Colorado companies will show the kind of bicycles many can only dream of. Among them is Funk Cycles of Littleton, which has two other outlets — in Denver and Fort Collins. Funk also has racing teams in Wisconsin, California and Texas, in addition to Colorado, but sales representative

Littleton-based Funk Cycles will exhibit its LaRuta model and others at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show in Denver Feb. 22-24. Courtesy photo Dave Muscianisi says 75 percent of Funk’s customers are not really racers. Many are in the 50-55 age range and some are into endurance racing, which is where Funk’s bike really shines. Dave Muscianisi said Daryl Funk has been involved with cycling for 20 years and four years ago, Dave proposed they start a company.

Boundaries between real and imagined ‘Semblance’ and ‘Guised’ shown at CVA

They navigate a reality not clearly identified, Cullen writes. They explore a tenuous line between truth and fiction and blur the boundary between the real and imagined. Artists are: Sama Slshabi, Neil Chowdhury, Kim Keever, Robert and Shana Parkeharrison, Laura Shill and Janaina Tschape. “Guised,” an international video exhibition curated by Sama Alshaibi, associate professor of photography/video art at the University of Arizona, is shown concurrently. It contains seven projects that pose a riddle that at first appearance is not threatening. Upon further examination, hidden and manipulated aspects of the content may

Muscianisi, a cyclist, had been introduced to Funk’s LaRuta and “never turned back.” A little Funk community has developed he says. Customers, many of them from this show, which is held in a different city each year, will know what they want in handlebars, pedals, chain, seat, the build. Funk sales start with questions about “what kind

of riding do you do? Any injuries?” “It’s not cheap,” he says, “but when you build with titanium, it’s the last bike you’ll buy.” “We have standard sizes and a custom option,” Muscianisi said. It starts with the metal — titanium — and craftsmanship from there. He is proud of a design unique to the market, with a full-suspension frame. Some customers, 25 percent from overseas, buy just the frame and build it themselves. For others, the company contracts for other parts and assembles the bicycle. It takes eight to 12 weeks to deliver a frame, once it’s ordered. A new Funk product is a fat bike for cyclists who want to ride on snow. It will be featured in this year’s show. In the 2010 census, Colorado was found to be in the top four states for bicycle commuting. Thirty five percent of the population regularly rides — it’s a lifestyle. Funk Cycles will be in Booth 1011 at the show, a 10-foot-by-20-foot corner booth.

Artists are: Hala Ali and Lantian Xie, Jovan Erfan, Ninar Esber, Coriana Close, Gary Setzer and Larissa Sansour. The Emerging Artists Gallery will contain juried work by MSU Denver students. Related events include; Opening reception at 6-9 p.m. on Feb. 21; conversation with Sama Alshabi and Neil Chowdery at 6 p.m. Feb. 28; Collective Vision faculty lecture at 6:30 p.m. March 15; Creative Mission Gallery talk with MSU Denver students at 6 p.m. March 20 and Colorado Ballet Student Performance at 7 p.m. April 5, culmination of a dance workshop for youth ages 10 to 14, inspired by works in “Semblance.” The Colorado Ballet will become a neighbor of CVA on Santa Fe Drive in 2014—perhaps leading to future collaboration.

A sold-out house enjoyed Vintage Theatre’s exceedingly clever production of “City of Angels” on Feb. 9, engaged and following the musical’s parallel 1940s Hollywood stories throughout the evening — in black and white and Technicolor. A six-piece band, stairstepped against the rear of the stage performed a jazzy, lively score while the actors switched smoothly (usually) from shooting a noir 1940s vintage film in black and white to the Hollywood behind- the- scenes machinations involved, with an egotistical producer, assorted bimbos and other characters. There are two musical scores: one pure 1940s movie sound track, while the other speaks to emotions and events. This is an imaginative, and we’d presume, really challenging piece to stage — which perhaps explains why we haven’t seen it previously. It won six 1990 Tony Awards, for Best Musical, Book, Score, Set Design, actor, featured actress for its creators: music by Cy Coleman; lyrics by David Zippel, with a book by Larry Gelbart (who wrote much of “Mash”).

Ken Paul is Stone and Angela Brickley is Mallory/Avril in “City of Angels” at Vintage Theatre through March 3. Courtesy photo by DenverMindMedia IF YOU GO “City of Angels” plays through March 3 at the Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 24 and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 3. Tickets cost $30 ($25 in advance): 303-856-7830, vintagetheatre.com. There is lots of free parking. In his director’s notes, Brian Walker Smith writes that he was reluctant to take it on until he read 20 pages of the script and heard the music, which he describes as “Manhattan Transfer style of Jazz-pop.” He called producer Craig Bond and persuasive stage manager Rebecca Joseph and said “let’s do it.” He has managed to juggle a huge number of set/ character/costume changes without losing the story threads. We open with tough guy private eye Stone (Ken Paul) in his office, where he is vis-

ited by sexy Alaura (Abby Apple Boes) with a “delicate situation” to propose to him. This is in black and white and is the beginning of a movie being shot off and on throughout. Switch to color and we meet scriptwriter Stine (Jerry Cunningham) at a typewriter, constantly revising the script. And it’s off and running… Aside from Stone and Stine, each of the 18 cast members plays two parts -- in the film and in the Hollywood scene -- requiring lightning-fast costume changes, as well as vocal and dancing skills. (PiperArpan is choreographer, Traci Kern is music director and Erin Leonard is costumer.) As readers might suspect, there are two happy endings. “City of Angels” offers a most entertaining evening.

Torry finished fourth at 138 pounds in last year’s Class 5A tournament and his older brother was third at 182 pounds. Both Williams brothers won individual titles in the Region 1 qualifying tournament last Saturday at Smoky Hill High School. Ponderosa had five regional champions and finished second to Pomona, 243-214.5, in the team standings but qualified nine wrestlers for the state meet. Pomona will send 10 wrestlers to the Pepsi Center while defending Class 5A champion Pine Creek will have nine wrestlers competing along with Ponderosa. Torry Williams, a junior who is third in the latest On The Mat rankings, wasn’t happy with the way he wrestled in the regional tournament despite capturing the 145-pound title. “I didn’t wrestle good,” said Torry. “I’ve never been ranked this low so I feel I have pressure on me. I don’t know, I just didn’t show up. “I have to go back, look at it and know I can’t show up at state like that. I hope to win state, that’s my goal.” Corry, a senior running back in football who briefly played basketball this season, feels the same. “I don’t think I did as good as I could have done,” Corry said. “I’m

looking forward to state. This was my first time winning a regional tournament so I feel pretty good.” Legacy took third at regionals with 126.5 points, followed closely by Arapahoe (123) and Cherry Creek (110). Cherry Creek’s Mitch Finesilver (120) and Zach Finesilver (126) won regional crowns and another Finesilver brother, Matt, qualified for state by finishing third at 113 pounds. Mason Harms reached the 152 pound championship match for the Bruins, but was pinned by Kelton Good of Ponderosa in 58 seconds. Arapahoe’s Jaylen Mosqueira reached the 182 pound finals but dropped a 16-2 decision to Corry Williams of Ponderosa. Joey Laratta won his third place match at 145 pounds while Mitch Wilson took fourth at 138 pound. Regis Jesuit crowned one champion, as Grant Neal scored an 8-3 decision over Rosales of Lincoln. Josh Redman took third for the Raiders at 120 pounds, and Nick Elgin nabbed a third place finish by forfeit at 220 pounds. Donovan Ronan had to settle for fourth at 126. Heritage’s Jared Todd was fourth at 132. The following is a list of state qualifiers from local schools: Arapahoe 138 - Mitch Wilson, Sr., 31-8. 145 - Joey Laratta, Sr., 35-8. 182 - Jaylen Mosqueira, Jr., 357. 195 - Zach Waanders, Jr., 28-16. 220 -Isaac Prudhome, Sr., 33-8. Cherry Creek 113 - Matt Finesilver, Fr., 27-11. 120 - Mitch Finesilver, Jr., 40-2.

Cherry Creek’s Mitch Finesilver knocks down Pomona’s Joshua Rosales.

With a bloody smile, Regis Jesuit’s Grant Neal celebrates his first place win at regionals. 126 - Zach Finesilver, Jr., 37-1 152 - Mason Harms, Jr., 27-9. 160 - Jalen Reyes, Sr., 27-12. 170 - Diego Rogel, Sr., 30-10. 182 - Trent Rogers, Sr., 19-8.

Valor set to play the waiting game Eagles have long layoff before playoffs begin By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com HIGHLANDS RANCH - Valor Christian coach Ronnie DeGray watched his team win its 18th game of the season Thursday night. Shortly after the victory he started thinking about possible rust removers. Garrett Baggett scored 29 points and Chase Foster added 21 as the Eagles pulled away from Liberty for a 79-67 win in the Valor gym. The win swelled the Eagles’ record to 18-4 but the game was the regular season finale. Valor, a Class 4A team in basketball, will now have to wait 13 days until the state playoffs begin Feb. 27. “It’s too much rest,” said DeGray. “That’s the hardest thing. We’ll try to find some scrimmages here and there. Hopefully some teams will want to scrimmage us. We’ll try to keep the rust off before the playoffs start.” However, the layoff provides an opportunity for Christian McCaffrey to get back in the lineup. McCaffrey, an All-State football player, averaged 15.3 points in the first five games of the season but has missed the last 17 games with an ankle injury. “One of the good things is we will get Christian McCaffrey back,” said DeGray. “It’s going to be kind of tough because he’ll be rusty. He hasn’t played in two months. Hopefully we can scrimmage here and there and get the rust out

of him. “He’s been doing light running but it’s tough because that’s not full speed.” DeGray, the former University of Colorado player who is in his first year as Eagles coach, went with a starting lineup of five seniors who are usually reserves to start on Senior Night against the Class 5A Lancers. However, it was juniors Baggett and Foster who sparked the victory. Baggett connected on seven 3-pointers and both he and Foster hit key baskets in the fourth quarter to stem a Liberty rally. The visitors, trailing by 10 points heading into the fourth quarter, pulled to within 59-57 but Foster made a slick move to the basket and tossed in a left-handed layup with 5:03 remaining. Foster hit a short jumper in the lane after the Lancers again pulled to within two less than a minute later and Baggett drove the lane for a layup to push Valor ahead 6559 with 3:04 on the clock. Valor outscored the Lancers 14-8 in the final 2:30 to seal the victory. “One of the things we’ve been talking about is not just settling for jump shots but getting to the bucket to get easy baskets,” said DeGray. “We can shoot the basketball but they are not always going to fall. So to get to the bucket, make the easy shots, makes it tough on the defense.” Valor, the state’s fourth ranked 4A outfit, has played a variety of 5A and 4A teams this season which should help the Eagles if rust isn’t a problem in the playoffs. “I believe we are battled tested,” said DeGray. “We’ve seen teams that are really athletic and got up and down the court and teams that have come down and played more of

Chase Foster scores Jan. 23 during Valor’s 78-47 loss at Rangeview. Photo by Courtney Kuhlen a half court set and were really physical and disciplined. We’ve seen a lot and we believe it is going to prepare us for the playoffs.”

Regis tops Grizzlies, eyes league title Hoops roundup: Chaparral By Craig Harper

sports@ourcoloradonews.com Don’t count Regis Jesuit out of the Continental League boys basketball championship chase yet. The third-ranked Raiders beat No. 6 ThunderRidge 61-49 Friday night in a battle of second-place teams whose only league setback came at the hands of the secondranked Golden Eagles. But with Mountain Vista suffering its first league loss to Chaparral on Friday and still having to face fourth-place Legend, a team just outside Class 5A’s top 10, and fifth-place Highlands Ranch, a Continental title remains within Regis’ grasp. The Raiders (17-4 overall, 8-1 league) have won five straight and since a 77-73 loss to the Golden Eagles and 13 of their last 14 games, and close the regular season next week against Douglas County and Ponderosa. “Every game has high importance to us,’’ said Raiders star Josh Perkins. “We’re trying to get as many wins as we can and hopefully get a high seed.’’ Second place wasn’t the primary focus for Regis coach Ken Shaw heading into Friday night’s road game against ThunderRidge (15-6, 7-2). “It’s important to finish the best that we can,’’ Shaw said. “We didn’t even talk about (second place) with our kids, because it’s about finishing strong and just playing our best basketball.’’ Friday wasn’t Perkins’ best game. The 6-2 junior guard scored 20 points - 6.2 below his average -- but was 6-of-19 shooting, had just one field goal in the second half, played much of the game in foul trouble and rolled an ankle after a missed layup early in the third quarter. But Perkins’ teammates and Regis’ defense came provided a big lift as the Raiders outscored ThunderRidge 35-20 in the second half, though the lead was just one point with 3:34 left. Sophomore Bryan Staerkel scored 13 of his 16 points - one shy of a season high - in the second half and also helped hold Zach Rusk, the Grizzlies’ top scorer, to 12 points, five below his season average. Eric Stemper,

one of two seniors on the roster, had a hand in limiting Joe Marucci to 10 points, 4.6 below his average. “Some of our guys are a little bit forgotten because of Josh,’’ Shaw said. “But I think Josh brings out the best in them and I think they’re there to pick up the slack.’’ “I’ve got to credit my teammates. I have incredible confidence in them,’’ said Perkins, who has topped 20 points in 11 straight games. “ThunderRidge is a great team and they did the best they could to get me out of the game. But my teammates came through.’’ The Grizzlies made it close despite shooting just under 30 percent from the field and going without a basket for the final six minutes (0-of-10 shooting and four turnovers). “I’d say that was our worst shooting performance of the year,’’ said ThunderRidge coach Joe Ortiz. “We missed a lot of shots we should’ve made: layups, 3’s, short shots. Shots that we normally make, we didn’t make `em. Shots that you’ve got to make to win.’’ Still, ThunderRidge trailed by just four points, 53-49, after a pair of free throws by Hunter O’Neill with 2:09 left. But Regis scored the final eight points, including 6-of-6 free throws (four by Perkins), to cap a 12-14 quarter at the line. The Grizzlies have dropped two of their last three, including a Feb. 8 overtime loss to Mountain Vista, and close out the regular season against Castle View and Rock Canyon. They had won seven straight following a loss to No. 1 Denver East. Ortiz said a second-place finish in the Continental League “absolutely’’ is a big deal. But he’s more concerned about how the recent defeats might affect the Grizzlies’ seeding for the 5A tournament. “If we’re a 2 seed, then it’s a wash,’’ he said. “If we’re a 3 seed, then you play that second game on the road if you win your first game.’’ Ortiz hopes the Grizzlies can avoid what happened to East last year when the Angels won the Denver Prep League but only got a No. 3 seed - and lost at ThunderRidge in the second round.

stuns Golden Eagles Defending champs hand Mountain Vista first loss By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Chaparral won the 2012 Class 5A boys state championship and the Wolverines have been trying to blend together a new team this season featuring several talented young players. So it was only a matter of time before Chaparral had something to say about the Continental League boys basketball race and it happened last Friday when the Wolverines upset previously unbeaten and second-ranked Mountain Vista, 66-62, which dropped the Golden Eagles into a first place tie with Regis Jesuit. Mountain Vista and Regis headed into the final two games of the regular season with 8-1 Continental League records. Chaparral, which lost 57-40 to No. 6 ThunderRidge earlier last week, used 27 points from 6-foot-5 sophomore Jake Holtzmann and 68 percent shooting from the field to edge Mountain Vista. The Wolverines outscored Mountain Vista, 21-11, from the foul line in improving their league record to 5-4 and overall mark to 11-10. Mountain Vista, which played Legend Tuesday and ends the regular season Friday night at Highlands Ranch, jumped to a 4212 halftime advantage in an earlier 88-38 win over Castle View. Jake Pemberton scored 24 points in the Golden Eagles’ (19-1) win over Castle View while Elijah Valdez had 22 in the loss to Chaparral. Mountain Vista slipped to fourth in the

latest Class 5A rankings. In other action: HERITAGE - The Eagles collected a pair of wins to climb above the .500 mark in league play with a 5-4 record,. Eli Ziegler scored 20 points and Heritage used a strong fourth quarter to beat Ponderosa, 43-36, Josh Steward had 14 points in the victory over Douglas County. ARAPAHOE -Evan Walsh scored 27 points and swished six of Arapahoe’s 12 3-pointers in a 73-56 Centennial League win over Overland. The Warriors also whipped Mullen 80-51. VALOR CHRISTIAN - Christian McCaffrey was handing out cups of water to players coming to the bench for a rest during the Eagles 79-67 regular season ending victory over Liberty. McCaffrey, who has been sidelined for all but five games with an ankle injury, hopes to be able to play for Valor (18-4) when the Class 4A state playoffs begin next week. LITTLETON GIRLS - The Lions hit only 17 percent of their field goals against Highlands Ranch but made 54 percent in the triumph over Ponderosa. Stephanie Puchino led the way in the win with 12 points while sister Laura added 11 points. ARAPAHOE GIRLS - The Warriors won two Centennial League games and neither contest was close as Arapahoe won by a total of 99 points. Twelve players scored, led by Carly Buechler’s 18 points, as Arapahoe crushed Overland, 85-16, and Stacy Lakasiewicz led a balanced scoring attack with 13 points in a 74-44 romp over Mullen. VALOR CHRISTIAN GIRLS - The Eagles squared their record at 11-11 as Caroline Bryan scored 25 points in a 60-35 romp over Liberty.
