Dozens vying to lead police Panels will review top six choices by city manager By Jennifer Smith

Omnibus enhances life in Littleton Service offers rides to disabled, elderly By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com How much would you pay to hear the words, “I don’t know what I’d do without you?” The city of Littleton is paying about 0.5 percent of its budget this year to hear them about 7,800 times, at least once from Rita Zavislan. Zavislan has vision problems that forced her to give up driving several years ago, and she often found herself stuck at home. “I felt like the world was going to come to an end,” said Zavislan. “But it didn’t.” That’s partly because she discovered the Omnibus, a free service offered to elderly and disabled Littleton residents. With 48 hours notice, it takes them anywhere in city limits — doctors, salons, even the veterans’ lodge. It goes to a few places outside the city, notably some medical offices and Southwest Plaza, where lunch and shopping are a favorite outing. Several passengers March 2 said they would buy birthday cards for friends and family, and others looked forward to finding treats for themselves. “I would be very sad without this,” said Helen Wood, 89, who was shopping for makeup and perhaps a new bedspread. “My daughter takes me to the grocery store, because she’s free enough from her job now to do that. But there are some things, like this outing, I would miss very much.” Another popular destination is Buck POSTAL ADDRESS

June Wattles gets a lift to catch a lift. Recreation Center, where folks can exercise, have lunch, play cards, socialize and more. That’s where the Omnibus found Shirley Whittlesey, Susie Schulte, Catherine Hawkins, Ann Jennings and June Wattles on that sunny morning. They met and became friends on the bus, and riding with them is like attending a boisterous tea. “The Omnibus is the greatest thing I

have found since moving to Littleton,” said Hawkins. In some ways, the bus reflects Littleton’s hometown image. Zavislan has lived here since 1962 and said the bus allows her to keep going to familiar places. “I told my kids I’m going to live the rest of my life in Littleton,” she said. Curtis Grau actually went to Littleton High School with driver Judy Hamrock, and says she and the whole Omnibus program are great. “They treat me with respect, and they’re flexible, and they don’t get too mad at me when I goof up,” he said. Hamrock says she has the best job in the world. After staying home with her kids for 16 years, it’s fun for her to get out and about with her friendly riders. She cranks the oldies station for them and smiles when they know the words. “They always say they love the music and they sing along, especially if we get Dean Martin,” she laughs. There are some sad times, like when a passenger no longer needs a ride. Hamrock recalls one gentleman who always brought her a Tootsie Pop — finding one in the console after he passed was bittersweet. “You do get attached,” she said. “I treat the people like I would my mother, and when you get attached, it’s hard.” Hamrock’s mother lives in an assistedliving facility, so she’s comfortable with the trappings of age. She stresses there’s no such thing as too burdensome for the Omnibus. It has a lift for walkers and wheelchairs, and oxygen tanks, canes and other accessories never get in the way. “She is a wonderful woman and so kind Omnibus continues on Page 28

City Manager Michael Penny received 45 applications to replace retiring police chief Heather Coogan, 25 of them from out of state. He declined to identify any of the applicants but said he’ll announce the names of the finalists. He’s assembling six-member panels — to include citizens, chiefs in other jurisdictions, Littleton police and other department heads — to review his top six choices. Penny The ultimate decision will be his. The search for a new chief was conducted in-house. The last time the city used a headhunting firm was when Penny was hired in 2011, at a cost of $22,300. He said positions that are city council’s charge — city manager, city attorney and presiding judge — are more likely to be filled using an outside firm, mostly because council can’t commit full-time hours Search continues on Page 10

Young reader’s love lives on On book selection day, one of the most special days at Iowa Elementary in Aurora, almost 2,000 new stories crowd the school library. There’s “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.” And “Misty of Chincoteague.” And “The Good Dog.” And so many more. But the best story isn’t in a book. It’s the one being written every time Carole and Joe Hemmelgarn walk through the doors, hauling their load of books to lovingly place into the hands of every child there. It’s the one being written every time students ask about Alyssa, their 9-year-old daughter. “Do you miss her?” “Are you sad?” It’s the one being written with every hug Carole and Joe, and the children, give to each other. “It’s a gift,” Principal LuAnn Tallman says. “It’s a relationship. Someone else cares about them.” And someone else cares about Alyssa, who died suddenly six years ago, breaking her family’s hearts. “They talk of her as a personal friend,” Tallman says of her students. “We really consider Alyssa a part of our school.” That means everything to Joe and Carole. “As the years go by, people don’t ask anymore,” Carole says. “Kids are amazing. They’re not afraid to ask ….” If you asked, you’d hear a story about loss and sorrow, but also about hope. And love. And books. It begins, of course, with Alyssa. Doctors diagnosed the leukemia on Feb. 26, 2007. She was two months shy of her 10th birthday when she died 10 days later of complications from the treatment. “The heartbreak, the heartache ….” Joe’s voice trails off. Her bedroom, still as it was when she last slept in it, reflects the boundless enthusiasm and diverse interests that

endeared her to so many. Under the bed is the board with the intricate city she spent a whole day folding out of scrap paper. In a large shadow box on the wall are the colorful googly-eyed puff ball creatures she made for each holiday, a picture of her favorite go-with-her-everywhere white teddy bear with the red heart called Valentine, clothespin dolls she created, poems she wrote for her classes at Fox Creek Elementary in Highlands Ranch. She titled one “Upside Down.” Yesterday my brain flipped upside down And my train of thought crashed And thirty of my brain cells died … So please excuse my attention span in Math. “She was a goofy kid,” Joe says. At the beginning of fourth grade, she started waking up at 4:30 every morning. “She made her breakfast, fed her lizard, played the guitar. It was almost as if she felt ‘I’m running out of time here.’ ” Her best friend was her younger brother, Griffin, now 12. Smiley and funloving, Alyssa grew her hair to cut it off for wigs for cancer patients. She loved to ski, play soccer — and read. A book she was reading when she died, “The Fairy’s Return and Other Princess Tales,” still rests on her dresser. That last Christmas, she had written her parents a note. Dear Mom and Dad, Thank you for caring for me. And loving me. Stay warm and help old and poor. Thank you. Love, Alyssa. Merry Christmas. For Carole and Joe, the words took on new meaning after her death.

“When parents lose a child,” Carole says, “there’s this need to give back or do something.” They combined Alyssa’s love for reading with her compassion for the less fortunate and, a year later, in 2008, the Alyssa Cares Foundation was born. They decided to take books to schools where most of the students qualified for free and reduced lunch, a marker of poverty, and where reading scores were low. Iowa Elementary was the first school. Today, four more elementaries participate — Harrington, Doull and Swansea in Denver, and Paris, also in Aurora. Carole and Joe, with Griffin and their volunteers, visit each school three times a year and bring enough books to give every child — from kindergarten to fifth grade — one to take home, each time. So far, they have distributed more than 30,000 books, all bought with donations from individuals and corporations. “We tell Alyssa’s story, about her love for reading,” Joe says. “The book is our way of having the introduction. We talk a lot about what it can do for you in your life. … The gateway to learning is reading, and everything becomes a little easier if you can read.” But something else, a little bit magical, blossomed along the way. “We did not see how they would connect with Alyssa,” Carole says. “She’s like this mentor. They want to read for her. They say, ‘We want to be like you, Alyssa.’” And they want to share their stories, many of which, like Carole’s and Joe’s, are of struggles and loss. “Storytelling,” Carole says, “is so powerful.” LuAnn Tallman, the principal: “The books are important, but it’s Carole’s and Joe’s relationship with the children that has made the biggest difference in their reading.” Carole and Joe don’t forget. “They will recognize the kids and say, ‘We remembered this book for you,’” Tallman says.

Learn to fake fight

Learn how to fight on stage and use physical comedy techniques to create an exciting scene. Town Hall Arts Center and South Suburban Parks and Recreation have partnered for an opportunity to learn stage skills while using the language of Shakespeare. The workshop will be held March 9 at the Buck Recreation Center, 2004 W. Powers Ave. in Littleton, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The program is open to both boys and girls ages 7 to 15. Wear loose jeans or sweats, tie shoes and white or black T-shirt. Bring a snack and water bottle. Workshop fees for in-district residents is $20; $25 for

non-district.

“They’re willing to give freely of themselves to make these kids feel good about reading and feel good about life.” The connection is evident in the plastic bin under Alyssa’s bed, packed tightly with more than 2,000 letters from children at the schools. A colorful wire sculpture that depicts Alyssa reading, from Harrington Elementary, sits on her dresser. Iowa Elementary’s library is now named after her. The foundation, Joe says simply, “keeps her memory alive. It’s creating some type of legacy, and I guess we just didn’t want her story to end.” Every Christmas, Carole places under the tree a stack of gift-wrapped books for Alyssa. One by one, she’ll read them throughout the year, in the quiet of Alyssa’s bedroom or the loft at the cabin or her gravesite. “I do read out loud and I talk to her,” Carole says. “I ask her what she thinks about the book. … It’s a connection — the book — and I don’t know why.” Perhaps it just keeps the door open. Joe likes to tell the kids at the schools “every book you open, the more doors you open, and the more doors open for you.” One day, a young boy came up to him, book in hand. He turned a page. “Mr. Joe,” he said, “I’m opening a door here.” The boy smiled. Joe smiled at the memory. A connection made. One more line in a story being written one book at a time, one child at a time, by a little girl and the family who misses her. That’s a story of hope. And of love. And that’s the best story of all.

Call re-elected as state GOP chairman Incumbent fends off former Douglas party leader By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado Republican State Party Chairman Ryan Call was re-elected to his post over the weekend, defeating former Douglas County Republican Chairman Mark Baisley. The two met Feb. 27 at the Highlands Ranch Sheriff’s Substation for their only debate prior to the March 2 election. “I believe the GOP, the Grand Old Party, ought to stand for the Great Opportunity Party,” said Arapahoe County resident Call, who has served as state party chair since 2011. “We need to invite into our party those who may not agree with us 100 percent. From the Reagan Democrats to the Ron Paul libertarians to the social conservatives, we need them all to be able to build a winning majority.” Baisley, who served as the Douglas County Republican Party chairman from 2011-2013, decided to challenge Call after receiving calls of support from across the state following a November election that saw Colorado Democrats take back

Photo by Courtney Kuhlen the state House, retain control of the state Senate and help re-elect President Barack Obama. In Douglas County, the numbers looked quite different from the rest of the state, as Republicans dominated local elections, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney secured 62 percent of the vote and the GOP had 97

percent voter turnout. Baisley’s biggest bone of contention with the state GOP has concerned a purported lack of organization and solid infrastructure. He presented a bottom-up business plan Feb. 27 that he would like to see the state GOP implement moving forward. “The single area where I hope that my candidacy will influence Ryan is in developing and implementing a much more effective infrastructure,” he said after receiv-

ing the news he had been defeated 272.33 to 158.67 by the Colorado Republican Central Committee. Disappointed in defeat, the Roxborough resident said he would support Call 100 percent and that there was no room for divisiveness in the party moving forward. “It’s just too serious right now not to stand united,” Baisley said. “If Chairman Call were to give me a buzz and ask for my participation I would be more than happy to provide that, but I think when there is a decision made by the body like that, the person who did not win needs to step aside unless he is asked by the winner to help.” Baisley also said for the party to be successful, there needs to be more focus on not beating each other up in primaries. “We need to have more respect for anyone who steps up to run,” he said. “We never want to discourage the next Ronald Reagan. We do a lot of shooting each other in the foot in the primaries and wind up with someone limping to the finish line.” Larkspur resident Chuck O’Reilly, the Douglas County Republican Party treasurer from February 2011 to February 2013, also made a play for a seat on the party’s state central committee, losing out to Lana ForeWarkocv in a bid for secretary. He said the reason he ran was to help improve communication within the party base. “One of the reasons the Democrats are just beating our butts is they have a better database,” he said. “We need to be better prepared to respond to smears faster and to more people. If you don’t have a database ready to respond to a smear, it sticks.”

Repeal of adultery ban passes House Questions raised about second provision of bill By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com It was quite a way to start off a bill debate in the state House of Representatives. “Members, who did you sleep with last night?” Rep. Daniel Kagan said on Feb. 26, to laughter from lawmakers. The Cherry Hills Village Democrat was making a point that it’s no one’s business who a person sleeps with, as he was arguing in favor of a bill that repeals a state law against adultery, and one that makes it a crime to promote “sexual immorality.” House Bill 1166, which is being cosponsored by Kagan, ended up passing the House the next day, in spite of Republican lawmakers raising concern that part of the bill could end up adversely affecting law enforcement’s abilities to deal with crimes such as prostitution. The adultery law has been on the books since the 1900s, but there is no penalty associated with cheating on one’s spouse. But the other longstanding Colorado law that Kagan’s bill seeks to repeal carries with it a misdemeanor penalty. An example of “promoting sexual immorality,” would be when a hotel worker or a landlord rents accommodations to an unmarried couple, knowing that they’re going to have sex there. Kagan said during a Feb. 21 hearing before the House Judiciary Committee that the sexual immorality law has been prosecuted 11 times in the last five years. “There are only two statutes in Colorado law where a person’s guilt depends on the marital status — whether you’re married or single — where it depends on whether a crime has occurred,” Kagan said during that committee hearing. All seven Democrats on the committee voted for the bill. Only one Republican, Rep. Carole Murray of Castle Rock, voted

it out of committee. However, Murray ultimately ended up voting against the bill. During the hearing, Republican Rep. Bob Gardner of Colorado Springs blasted Kagan for using the committee’s time to hear a bill that he said doesn’t do a whole lot. “Why are we spending time on this?” Gardner said during the hearing. “It has more interest (from the press) than some things today that are far more important to the people of Colorado. Why bother?” Gardner also used the Feb. 26 House debate to argue against the bill, saying that he doesn’t believe police are going door-todoor, asking about who a person is sleeping with. “Apparently, it only happens in the well of the House,” Gardner said. Gardner was among a handful of Republicans who also raised concern during the bill’s final passage on Feb. 27 that, by removing the sexual immorality law from the books, police and prosecutors would have one less tool to use in fighting human trafficking cases, such as prostitution. Gardner read aloud several cases where the law had been used in conjunction with human trafficking cases, telling lawmakers, “The fact that it’s been used at all tells me that it’s not a trivial law.” Republicans also reminded fellow House members that the House recently passed a resolution creating Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Kagan said removing the sexual immorality law from statute does not affect other crimes that are more directly targeted at human trafficking cases, such as pimping and pandering. Kagan also said that district attorneys in the state have been silent on this issue. The bill passed the House on a 37-26 vote. With Rep. Jenise May of Aurora absent, the remaining 36 Democrats voted for the bill. Rep. Don Coram of Montrose was the only Republican to vote in favor of the bill. Republican Rep. Timothy Dore of Elizabeth was absent. The bill now heads to the Senate.

PLANS FOR AREA The Breckenridge Brewery/Designs by Sundown plan would divvy up Hammond’s addition between the two businesses. The architecture on both sites is rustic, with a nod to the South Platte Park’s Carson Nature Center. On the north, Breckenridge plans a brewing complex that will include a restaurant and tasting room, guest accommodations, fermenting building, warehouse, brewhouse, gift shop and more, all designed to attract “beer tourists.” The buildings are designed to shield the storage lot, where trucks will load and unload bottles and grains. A hops field will front Santa Fe, with its yield used in special brews. Designs by Sundown will expand to include a large barn that will house storage and offices. A 100-foot setback from its border with Wolhurst will feature sample gardens for customers to view. “This is not your father’s Santa Fe,” noted board member Mark Rudnicki.

and the city purchased additional buffer space between the site and the park. In contrast to the giant Walmart corporation, the plan to bring Breckenridge to Littleton is the brainchild of two longtime Littleton residents. Michael Hammond owns Designs by Sundown and the land on which this project would be developed. The Heritage High School graduate said his landscaping company is “a hobby that grew out of control” in the basement of his parents’ home on Costilla Avenue during the 1980s. “Littleton is a very sacred town to us,” he told council. Breckenridge’s brewer and co-owner Todd Usry worked for Hammond years ago. When he found out Hammond had purchased the land just north and west of Designs by Sundown, he jumped. “How you portray yourself is a big thing” in the craft-beer business, he said. “It was just perfect.” The Breckenridge Brewery plan is gaining mostly favorable reviews, although a few immediate neighbors are wary.

It’s cold. It’s snowy. As a driver, these things are annoying enough. But pedestrians face even greater risks, especially when trying to cross icy streets, so it’s a good time of year to review crosswalk laws. When they’re ignored, it can make for a very bad day like one in November 2008, when James Lewin was leaving the Candlelight Walk. He was pushing his newborn granddaughter in a stroller across the intersection of Prince and Church streets when a truck turned the corner and came right at him. According to his family, he shoved the stroller so hard that the rubber grip ripped off the handle, but he wasn’t able to get himself out of harm’s way. His injuries included head trauma, a cut carotid artery, six fractured ribs and a broken nose. After rehabilitation at Craig Hospital, he was finally well enough to return home to Durango in May 2009. State and city laws require drivers to

yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk. Pedestrians have the right of way if they’re already in the crosswalk when the car gets to it, but they have to wait for traffic to clear before stepping off the curb. “You have to enter the crosswalk without creating a hazard for the motorist or yourself,” said Charlie Blosten, the city’s director of public works. “And you should make eye contact with the motorist.” And while pedestrians appreciate the thoughtfulness of drivers who stop for them while they’re waiting on the curb, they might also be a little hesitant to step off in that situation. If the driver behind or next to the one who stopped doesn’t follow suit, it could be another bad day. “Regardless of who has the right of way, never assume cars are going to yield,” said Cmdr. Trent Cooper of the Littleton Police Department. “Always use caution and look for traffic before entering the crosswalk, even if you have the light or the right of way. Also, as a pedestrian, always assume you are invisible.” Bicyclists who ride on the sidewalk are considered pedestrians and have to follow the same rules as pedestrians. Those riding in the street are required to follow the same rules of the road as motorists.

Comprehensive plan update still under way Joint meeting ends on positive note By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton City Council offered guidance to the planning board on the city’s comprehensive plan Feb. 26, which amounted to “just git ‘er done.” “Instead of talking, we’ve got to get some action,” said Councilor Jerry Valdes. “Just write it.” The city has been trying to update the 1981 document since 2005. Required by state law, it guides the evolution of the city and is supposed to reflect the residents’ desires. It tends to emphasize things like community character over specifics like lighting and height requirements, which are dealt with in zoning laws. Creating it is up to the planning board, but council must ultimately approve it. Common themes are that the South Platte River should emerge as the city’s front door, government should get out of

the way of progress, Littleton should welcome diversity, and there should be an emphasis on improving major corridors and connectivity. Councilor Phil Cernanec said the focus should be on refurbishing the city while maintaining its basic spirit. Upon reviewing a two-page draft summary draft, Mayor Debbie Brinkman said: “You’re almost there. Why are we scared that it might only be three or four pages?” But board member Mark Rudnicki said the plan still needs more meat, more flexibility and less flowery language. Board member Andrew Graham noted that other working groups in the city are working on specifics like economic development and alternative transportation, and he’d like to see them all come together so efforts aren’t being duplicated. Board member Randy Duzan agreed, saying it could be a bottom-up effort, with the board taking the major concepts from the working groups to craft the Complan. “It’s like a three-legged stool,” agreed Brinkman. The board is getting four new members

A BRIEF HISTORY OF LITTLETON’S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN In 2005, the Littleton Planning Board tasked a citizen’s advisory committee with gathering information on which to base the Complan. Some people were concerned that its recommendations were too focused on development and not enough on preservation. It was almost done in 2007, when the “Sunshine Boy” council led by Mayor Doug Clark was seated. They felt the process had been too “top down” from a government trying to sway citizens toward modern concepts like mixeduse development. They appointed fellow Sunshine Boys to the planning commission and told them to start over. That didn’t end so well in 2011, when council tried to make a number of changes to the only part of the Complan its board had completed, pertaining to downtown. Things got testy between Clark and former board chair Norm Brown.

in the next few weeks, but the goal is to get a plan to council this summer, before council elections in November. Outgoing board member Dave Metcalf, often outspoken about his frustration with the process, was optimistic after sitting through a “vision-

“You’re moving in a direction that doesn’t respect the state statute and doesn’t respect the opinions from all the meetings planning commission has had,” said Brown. The meeting, and Clark’s tenure on council, ended with council sending the plan back to the board with recommended changes. Enter the current council — along with a new city manager and a new economic-development director. City Manager Michael Penny has indicated he doesn’t love the downtown plan, and he’s proud to see growth occurring. Most of council agrees, recently approving apartment projects for downtown and County Line Road. “It is a living document, but this document is outliving everyone who’s ever worked with it,” said Councilor Jerry Valdes, who was on the 2005 planning commission whose work got rejected by the 2007 council.

ing” session with council after the joint meeting. “This made us all start talking the same at the 35,000-foot level,” he said. “And those are the first positive words you’ve heard from me in a long time.”

Four years ago, Sue Lash didn’t want to be bald, but cancer treatment won that battle. On March 2, she went bald by choice and celebrated winning the war. Lash and a half-dozen other patrons at Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub let stylists from Urban Hair Studio shave their heads to raise money for the pub’s second annual St. Baldrick’s Day event to benefit childhood-cancer research. “It feels completely different,” said the newly bald Megan Casey. “I wasn’t expecting the little tickle. It’s rejuvenating. It was a little spur of the moment, but within the last 12 minutes I was able to raise $2,000. I’m still in shock.” “It’s an easy and fun way to raise money for a very serious cause,” reads the St. Baldrick’s website. “Like a walkathon, but without the blisters.” No blisters, but plenty of beer — the pub was packed with shavees, shavers, donors and onlookers alike. “Everybody should talk about what they saw today,” said Lash. “It’s so inspiring. If it was your family or your friend, you’d want to help. You’d want to give whatever you can.” Even though St. Baldrick’s Day is a relatively new phenomenon — the inaugural event was in New York on March 17, 2000 — the foundation raised more than $33 million last year alone. Its name is a play on “bald” and “St. Patrick’s Day.” “It’s a fantastic organization and a fan-

The love for children is what it’s all about.” According to the St. Baldrick’s organization, more than 175,000 children worldwide are diagnosed with cancer each year. And in the United States, more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease — more than AIDS, asthma, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies and diabetes combined.

Usry said the events will end by 7 p.m. and if there are more than four a year, neighbor approval will be required. As far as odor, the ingredients are all natural, and brewing produces steam, not smoke, said Usry, noting it’s no more dangerous than aromas emanating from burger joints. Craig Coronato, chair of the planning board, said

y Bill would expand unpaid medical leave Sponsor adds language saying more time off isn’t intended By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews. com

Employees who seek leave from work to care for extended family members with serious health conditions — as well those who have ailing partners in civil unions — would be able to do so under a bill that is moving through the state Legislature. joint House Bill 1222 would expand the federal Family same and Medical Leave Act to hose cover family members beheard yond one’s spouse, child or parent. The bill, which is being sponsored by Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster, passed the Democraticcontrolled House Health, Insurance and Environment Committee on a party line vote of 6-5 on Feb. 28. “It expands the definition of family to better represent what families look like in this day and age,” Peniston told committee members. But Republicans on the committee feared that the expansion could lead to abuse of leave requested by employees, and that businesses’ productivity could suffer because of workers being away from their jobs. They also expressed concern izer that the bill would end up doubling the amount of

Capitol Report

leave that employees already receive, under the current structure of FMLA. “We are simply putting more burden on employers,” said Rep. Spencer Swalm, R-Centennial. Right now, FMLA requires that businesses with a work force of 50 or more employees grant workers up to twelve weeks of unpaid leave, in the event that they or their spouses, children or parents are dealing with a serious health issue, or are pregnant. But Peniston’s bill would expand the group of family members for whom an employee is able to take time off work to care for, to include grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and first cousins. The bill also would allow employees who are in civil unions — which is expected to pass the General Assembly this year — to leave work to care for their partners. Leave also would be allowed if an employee’s designated beneficiary becomes seriously ill or injured. That was the case with Belinda Williams of Denver, who testified that her boyfriend — who was her designated beneficiary — cared for her after she suffered multiple spinal fractures following a bicycling accident a couple of years ago.

“This can happen to anyone,” said. “(My boyfriend) risked his job for me and I know I’m not the only person who has been through this.” Others who testified in favor of the bill included those representing Latino and gay advocacy groups. Evy Valencia of the Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights said there “is a shared responsibility among families” in the Latino community and that this bill would help relatives be there for each other during difficult times. Daniel Ramos of One Colorado, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy group, testified

about the importance of allowing couples who enter into civil unions the ability to take time off work to take care of their partners, without risking a job loss. “Imagine how you would feel if you can’t get the time off to care about the person you love in a time of need,” Ramos said. But those who testified against the bill said it would end up hurting businesses. Nick Hoover of the Colorado Restaurant Association said that eateries could experience “disruptions in service to customers” if more employees took time off work, and that training temporary employees to do their jobs would be expensive.

Brooke A. Colaizzi, an attorney who represents businesses that are also opposed to the bill, said the legislation poses “extremely serious problems for employers.” She said that in addition to the bill creating more administrative headaches for employers, there also lies the possibility that a worker could take dual leave time, if FMLA is expanded. For example, if the bill becomes law, it would be possible that an employee could take leave to care for a grandparent, and then take another 12 weeks of leave down the road, under FMLA. “Our clients call the statute a nightmare,” Colaizzi

said. “I see a potential for abuse here.” Swalm said the bill could discourage employers from hiring new workers. “It makes it more difficult and more threatening to them, frankly,” he said. “Because they don’t know what kind of baggage they’re getting with that employee.” Peniston and other supporters of the bill tried to quell those concerns, saying that it would be unlikely that an employee would take any more unpaid leave than they absolutely had to. Peniston also amended the bill to include language saying that the bill’s intent is not to create more leave for employees.

mended tax levels for comn stillmercial marijuana sales. g. The recommendations

made on Feb. 28 suggest a 15 percent excise tax that stores would pay at the wholesale level. It was also recommended that a special sales tax be implemented for recreational marijuana, with an example of a 25 percent sales tax customers would pay when making purchases. Any special voter-approved taxes would be in addition to the state’s 2.9 percent sales tax as well as any local sales taxes. The task force discussed the issue and generally agreed that, if the state-imposed taxes were too high, users would turn to the black market for marijuana. One member suggested that keeping the total cost, e toincluding taxes, of legal weryrecreational marijuana less etonthan the black market cost e wecould bring an end to illegal andpot sales. y.” However, members repeatedly noted that be-

cause of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, no tax could be imposed without voter approval. As they wrapped up their discussions, it was noted that recommendations will be assembled into a report that, in the next two weeks, will be forwarded to the General Assembly to use in establishing rules and regulations for the new recreational marijuana industry. Colorado voters created a whole new industry in November by approving Amendment 64, which legalizes recreational use of marijuana by those 21 and older. When Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the voter-approved amendment into law, he created the 24-member task force to establish recommendations for regulating the new industry as guidelines for state legislative action. The governor spoke at the Feb. 28 task force meeting. He thanked the members for the thousands of hours they put into developing their recommendations. “We are entering a new and different world,” Hickenlooper said. “No matter how thoughtful we are, not every area will be adequately addressed. I think there will be unanticipated negative consequences.” He stressed the need for education and safeguards to keep marijuana out of the hands of those under 21.

Looking forward to ‘sunshine’ this month Amid what is traditionally Colorado’s snowiest month, we are marking down a week of sunshine on our calendars. Sunshine Week begins March 10. OK, it has nothing to do with the weather — it’s about open government and freedom of information. Launched by the American Society of News Editors in 2005, the initiative is timed to coincide with the birthday of the “Father of the Constitution,” James Madison, on March 16. As a media organization, we naturally embrace this national push for transparency. So should you. “Though created by journalists, Sunshine Week is about the public’s right to

OUR VIEW know what its government is doing, and why,” explains the website www.sunshineweek.org. “Sunshine Week seeks to enlighten and empower people to play an active role in their government at all levels, and to give them access to information that makes their lives better and their communities stronger.” Think of the information you have access to that could make a difference in your

daily life, your vote, your knowledge of the community. • Crime rates in your city. • Salaries of public officials at all levels of government. • Voting records of lawmakers. • Health-inspection records of local restaurants. • Arrest reports, including the name, age and address of crime suspects. • An accounting of who resides in the county jail. • A list of convicted sexual predators in your neighborhood. • Email exchanges of public officials. • A complete spending plan by your city and county.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

What do you think of banning guns on college campuses? A bill that would ban guns on Colorado’s college campuses is making its way through the General Assembly.

On a recent morning in Lone Tree, we asked some people what they thought of this idea.

“I don’t think guns have a place in an institution of learning. I think there ought to be a way to make campuses safe without guns.” — Jim Sweller, Lone Tree

“It should be an individual choice. Our forefathers came here and had a vision of why we should be able to protect ourselves.” — Ken Spadi, Littleton

“I don’t think they should mess with our constitutional rights. … I think if someone had a gun in some of these situations it might have stopped someone.” — Sharon Mahoney, Highlands Ranch

“I’m a gun advocate, but I don’t support learning institutions or working environments as an appropriate place to access weapons.” — Jim Christensen, Castle Pines

Coffee preference is black-and-white issue I am surrounded by coffee babies, featherweights, and fraidy-cats. How many times has this happened? “Coffee, black,” I say to the waiter. “Cream and sugar?” “Black.” “Room for creamy, foamy stuff, flavorings?” “Black.” “Skinny caramel latte-latte with a sprig?” “Black.” I drink coffee as black as asphalt, the way it should be. Cowboy coffee, detective coffee, no fooling around coffee, no standing in line for five minutes while it’s tricked and teased and fluffed. I am surrounded by coffee babies. Juan Valdez didn’t go all over Colombia looking for the finest beans so you could turn your coffee into a damned float. My girlfriend is a coffee baby. It’s appalling. We’re still in Phase One, when indiscretions are generally overlooked because, well, you figure it out. When we move into Phases Two and Three, watch out. She uses sugar, which is bad enough. Coffee needs to be semi-bitter. If you want a soft drink, drink a soft drink. She uses half and half, which completely ruins the color. Blands down the pitch. These mutilations cut the flavor, the color, and the poetry of a cup of coffee. Coffee should be harsh, not a damned daisy. Flavored coffees, I can’t even write the words without shaking my head, are wrong. I insist on coffee, black, hot, meaningful, complex, erotic, and not some liquid Hallmark card. These commercials where some homemaker is getting high on the aroma in her kitchen, it’s all a lie. What does hot tan sugar water smell like? I guess maybe steaming Dr Pepper. Go to one of those Starbuckies and ask for a Steaming Dr Pepper. They will know exactly what you mean. You’ve heard that song, “Let’s have another cup of coffee and let’s have another piece of pie!” Irving Berlin. Great song. But let’s get something straight, Irving didn’t sit there and compose this: “Let’s have

The list goes on. Sunshine Week reinforces the need to hold public officials accountable for making sure you can access this information. Media outlets across the country will bring you reports highlighting the importance of doing so, and we’ll do our part next week and beyond. For your part, take a few moments to think about the role access to information plays in our nation’s freedoms. Also, take time to learn more about the Colorado Open Records Act (there’s tons of information online). And remember, your right to know doesn’t end with Sunshine Week on March 16.

another frappuccino and let’s have another petite vanilla bean scone.” Come on. I was in a hurry and thought I was in good shape. A little coffee shop in an old house in Littleton. I was second in line. I’d make it to class on time. The cute girl behind the counter said to the man in front of me, “How’s your day so far? What about this rain? Huh? We need the moisture. We need the moisture. We need the moisture.” Man, am I tired of hearing that. If we need the moisture, we need the moisture. The same person who says, “We need the moisture,” will say, “This cake is moist.” Geez. What’s with all of the moisture? What else? “These mashed potatoes are moist. These beagles are moist.” I’m second in line and they’ve had a chance to talk about the weather, and I’m thinking there’s still hope. I was wrong. The dude’s order took about three minutes, and I never heard the word “coffee” once. What’s the point? They should have a line for coffee babies, and a line for the rest of us, who know what we’re doing. I ordered coffee once and the kid said, “Room for cream?” And I said, “Room for vodka.” I got out of line and went to a vending machine in the school cafeteria. I punched the black coffee and got something that was very hot, very brown, and tasted like paint thinner. But I drank it. I’m not going to stand in line behind a coffee baby. Coffee is supposed to be black. If it isn’t black it isn’t coffee. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@ comcast.net

Help Rotary eradicate polio

Unless you are over 50 years of age, this headline may be puzzling. But just 70 short years ago, polio was one of the most dreaded diseases in the United States, killing or crippling thousands of children every year in the 1950s. Then Drs. Salk and Sabin invented vaccines against polio, and by the 1970s polio was literally nonexistent in the U.S. But not so in the rest of the world, where as many as 387,000 polio cases were reported in 1985. And then Rotary, supported by its members in thousands of clubs around the world, launched its campaign to immunize millions of children, mostly in Third World countries, against this dreadful disease. Today the Littleton Rotary club is proud to be one of the clubs that strongly supports this immunization effort. Rotarians have contributed more than $1 billion to help fund efforts that have reduced the number of cases of polio to less than 1,000 in 2012.

Today, polio is endemic in only three countries: Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. Rotary is working with UNICEF, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization and the governments of these countries to completely eliminate polio. When this effort succeeds, we will not have just reduced the instances of polio to zero but we will, for only the second time ever, have completely eradicated a dreadful disease (smallpox having been the first.) And we will no longer have to spend millions of dollars in the U.S. immunizing our children against polio But it will take money to succeed. As Rotary celebrates its 108th birthday this month, the Littleton Rotary club invites its friends and neighbors to contribute to the effort to “End Polio Now” by donating $5.

Don’t let rhythm of day get out of time The other day I was just cranking out work, I was on top of my game, calls were going well and meetings even better. It really seemed that I was moving efficiently and almost effortlessly from one task to the next and with each passing achievement I just fell into a smoother groove. I found my rhythm. Has that ever happened to you? I mean that feeling when you are in step with your goals, in harmony with your work and with your team, and everyone and everything has melded into synchronicity? I have to tell you I love it when it does happen, I just wish it would happen more, don’t you? So a few thoughts about finding and maintaining our rhythm of the day come to mind. First, instead of just wishing or hoping that we catch that rhythm or find our

Sequestration and our debt crisis When Adm. Mike Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked in a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing what he thought was the greatest threat to the national security of the United States, he didn’t say it was Iran, North Korea, or even al-Qaeda. The admiral, without hesitation, said the greatest threat to our country is our debt. Since 2009, our deficits have been over $1 trillion each year and our debt has climbed from $10.6 trillion to $16.6 trillion. In response to demands for action to curb our debt crisis, in July 2011 the Congress passed and President Obama signed the Budget Control Act (BCA), which required a cap on yearly spending and future deficit reduction. This reduction was supposed to come from the so called “Super Committee,” but if they failed to pass a plan (and they did), the backup plan was across-the-board cuts of $1.2 trillion. These cuts are to be spread over a 10year period, equally divided between defense and non-defense spending. The cuts equal only 2 percent of total federal spending but they have a disproportionate impact: They mostly fall on what is called “discretionary” spending and that represents only about a third of the budget. The other two-thirds of the federal budget is either interest payments on our debt or what is called “mandatory” spending and is primarily driven by entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. These are mostly

exempt from sequester — so while defense spending is about 19 percent of total spending, it is taking half of the spending cuts. The major flaw in the sequester is that it is across-the-board. All programs subject to it are cut equally, regardless of their value. This is particularly damaging in defense spending, where no strategic considerations can be used to program the cuts. We will cut items critical to our front-line troops the same as we cut military bands, or administrative positions. I introduced legislation (HR 804) to cancel the across-the-board cuts to defense spending and instead replace them with smarter, more targeted cuts. I tried to focus on reducing headquarters and support functions, and to avoid limiting our strategic flexibility to counter emerging threats to our national security. But just like in defense spending, this need to be smarter in where we cut is true for non-defense spending as well. Instead of a sequester, we need to prioritize spending in order to protect our military, our veterans, our seniors and families from being negatively

impacted. The sequester was intended to be a placeholder to give Congress the time to come up with an alternative plan before it would be automatically implemented in 2013. That is why I voted for it. And yet, nothing happened, and there has been no agreement. I believe the only way to resolve the problem is through a grand bargain whereby Democrats yield on entitlement reform to slow the growth of spending and so protect the future of these programs, and Republicans put revenue on the table through closing credits and deductions for corporations and individuals. Until this happens we are hurting our seniors and threatening our nation’s financial solvency. Social Security and Medicare, and thus our federal budget, are not sustainable without reforms. We cannot solve our problem only through raising new revenues, and scare-mongering on entitlement reforms means that the real structural problems in federal spending are being ignored. I will continue to work in a bipartisan manner towards developing a fiscally responsible plan.

She was a soloist with many groups and was in demand for weddings and funerals. She was in shows wherever she lived; Fiascos in Littleton, Irving Berlin and other variety shows in Wyoming and singing with the Westernaires and West Valley Chorale in Sun City West. She was always active-

ly involved with her church choirs. Joyce also sang with the St. John’s Cathedral chorus, the La Scalla Singers and the Dicken’s Carolers. Joyce was an accomplished artist both in the oil and watercolor medium. Her paintings were very popular and she sold hundreds of paintings over the years. She loved everything about living on this earth. Her artistry mentioned above, entertaining family and friends, her church life, quiet family life and most of all, her husband, Ken. Joyce was a wonderful person. She will be missed by all. Thank you, God, for releasing her from her terrible disease and taking her back home to be with you.

Norton: Don’t let anything derail your day Norton continues from Page 8

chin up, head held high, shoulders back, enthusiastic and inviting attitude. We can turn productivity into a game, seeing how much we can actually get accomplished in a certain span of time. It’s like dancing right? When we see someone or a couple that are dancing and they are in step with the music, rhythm, and each other, they look like they are floating on air, and more importantly they look like the happiest people on earth. And when you look at people who are, well, dancing rather poorly, you can tell that it’s forced and they are clearly out of step with no rhythm whatsoever. Secondly, there are times when we find our rhythm of the day, but then something comes along that knocks us off balance, disrupts our

pace and harmony. It could be a little drama, maybe a distraction, or an unexpected urgent event that causes us to slow down or maybe even come to an immediate stop. I’ll bet this has happened to you too, I know it has happened to me. The key is not to let the drama, distractions, urgent events or fire drills derail the entire day. Take charge again, deal with the issues that are right in front of you, and get back into your groove. It may not feel as natural as when you first started the day, however give it a few minutes and stay with it, I promise that the positive and productive rhythm you once had will be found and have you back in control and enjoying whatever it is that you are engaged in that day. Lastly I would just share with you that for me I keep music playing all

of the time. Whether I am working, exercising, cooking, hiking or just cleaning up around the house and doing chores. Sometimes it is really loud and fast-paced, and other times it is soft background music that helps me to find my pace and keep it going. Could be rock, classical, easy listening, reggae, Christian or jazz, it all just depends on what fits the order and desired rhythm of my day. I would love to hear all about how you set the pace, find your groove, and boost productivity by getting into your rhythm of the day at gotonorton@gmail.com. This is going to be a better than good week, I can just feel it.

Fire merger study doesn’t get rave reviews Officials of two cities are skeptical about possible moves By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Representatives of Emergency Services Consulting International said their feasibility study of the Englewood and Littleton fire departments indicates changes must be made because the status quo can’t be sustained long-term. But there wasn’t a lot of approval for the consultants’ two favored options of a much more stringent, detailed inter-governmental agreement to strengthen collaboration, or establishment of a joint fire agency. No suggestion was made by either city

council to move forward with either option. But, near the end of the meeting, Littleton Council Member Phil Cernanec suggested having each council select about eight items from the consultant’s list of 42 strategic initiatives, and suggested that each of the city managers and fire chiefs spend the summer determining whether the initiatives improve efficiency or reduce costs and then whether it is feasible to institute those initiatives. The presentation was made March 4 at a joint Englewood/Littleton city council meeting along with representatives of the Littleton Fire Protection District and the Highlands Ranch Metro District. Jim Broman of ESCI did about a 25-minute power point presentation about the final report. He noted the findings were contained in 42 strategic initiatives created because of the potential to improve service delivery, eliminate duplication or be able to

avoid additional costs. Englewood Council Member Rick Gillit, the first to speak during the time for questions, said the suggestion was the creation of an intergovernmental agreement, but the two departments had such an agreement that was working well. Broman said the current agreement doesn’t move the two departments toward greater collaboration, and that a more extensive agreement should be explored. Gillit responded that he felt the idea of the study was to determine how both cities could save significant money. However, the current reported savings is about $78,000 split between the two cities. He added that suggested collaboration on issues like a salary schedule would raise costs for Englewood and probably wipe out the savings. Littleton Council Member Jerry Valdes agreed.

He said he expected the study to identify efficiencies that would produce cost savings and he doesn’t see that in the report. Englewood Council Member Linda Olson also said she expected the study to identify significant financial savings for both cities. “I wonder if the study has identified some of the strategic initiatives are fairly simple to do and can improve efficiency,” she said. David Oppenhein, president of the board of directors for the Englewood Fire Protection District, raised an issue about the suggestion that the two departments form a fire district authority. “Fire authorities are created by a vote of the people, not by city councils,” he said. “I have talked to a lot of people in the area and no one supports creating a fire agency, because creating an agency will mean they will pay higher property taxes.”

Search: City manager hopes to have new police chief by May Search continues from Page 1

to the task as can the human-relations department. “I’m very comfortable in our HR staff’s ability,” he said. “I think we can get a deep pool of candidates ourselves.” Coogan’s last day is officially April 1, and division chiefs Bob Brandt and Bill Christensen are exiting with her. Starting April 2, Cmdr. Gene Enley will serve as acting chief, and Cmdrs. Kim Ferber and Paul Cre-

adon will be acting division chiefs. Penny said he’ll leave the decision about replacing Brandt and Christensen up to the new chief, whom he hopes to have in place by May. The three are leaving just months after a survey of city employees showed the police department was less satisfied with its direct supervision and senior leadership than other departments. “The responses indicate

opportunities for improvements, specifically in supervision, which we can focus on for the upcoming year,” Penny said at the time. “The good news in the areas of `senior management’ and `supervision’ is, we have control over those areas and can work toward positive change.” Coogan took the helm in 2007, replacing Gary Maas. He retired after an independent study described the department as being in “tumult” under his leadership. Coogan, Christensen

and Brandt are taking advantage of an incentive offered to all LPD sworn officers ages 57 and older. In exchange for retiring now, their health insurance will be paid until they’re 65. Officer Bob Carmody, 63, also took the deal after serving LPD for 28 years. He’s best remembered for helping to save a baby in 2006, after the mother unexpectedly delivered her in a restroom. Another decision coun-

cil needs to make is how to replace Kirsten Crawford, former city attorney. The position is council’s charge, and Penny said the matter is on the agenda for a study session March 12. Council could farm out the job to a firm, hire a new city attorney, or some hybrid of the two. Crawford resigned Feb. 5. The announcement came 10 days after council placed her on paid administrative leave, apparently at her request, following an hourlong executive session.

Crawford cited “personal reasons” in her threesentence resignation letter. She had held the job since March 6, 2012, when she replaced Suzanne Staiert, who started in 2008. Council fired Staiert on the same day she filed an EEOC complaint against the city in September 2011, and she went on to become Colorado’s deputy secretary of state. Kristen Schledorn remains as Littleton’s deputy city attorney. She was hired in May.

Denver Chamber of Commerce, Littleton Building Authority, Arapahoe Community College, Friends of the Library/Museum. On March 20, 2012, just before his 80th birthday, the city council managed to surprise him with a declaration of “Ray Koernig Day, March 27” in front of many friends secretly invited by his wife, Mary Allman Koernig. His ongoing love of history led him in assorted directions — in travel and in his hometown. He played the role of famous/infamous Alfred Packer in a mock trial at Town Hall and again most recently during Historic Littleton Inc.’s September 2012 Scavenger Hunt. His participation in many of the Friends of the Library/Museum’s Fiasco spoofs included making fun of past and current history of his hometown. He wrote and performed in many of the 25 annual events. He also planned trips for the Friends’ “Old Forts” group of fellow history buffs — to see historic forts and other sites in Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. Sometimes he appeared in costume for these excursions, and could lecture knowledgably about the places being visited. His fondness for the museum led to a connection with his wife, Mary, who was its director for a time. A note from Littleton Rotary called him a “Renaissance man” and told of his involvement with Rotary exchange students, whom he hosted, and of his willingness to tutor community children who needed a boost. He worked with the Rotary Scholarship program at Arapahoe Community College and the club’s high school debate program. He was preceded in death by his wife, Helen, and daughter Katharine. He is survived by his wife, Mary, sons Kevin (Kim) and Wilton (Kristi) and grandchildren Kaylee, Joseph and Mia. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the Ray Koernig Memorial Fund at Hudson Gardens, 6115 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton, CO 80120.

Hundreds bid farewell to friend All agree Koernig touched many lives By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com All of the 300 or so folks who attended Ray Koernig’s memorial service March 3 at Hudson Gardens could agree on one thing: That guy was cantankerous. “This is the one time we’ll be able to tell him sit down, be quiet, you’re not in charge today,” said Rev. Jeffrey Kane. And no matter who they were — liberal or conservative, religious or atheistic, old or young, native or foreign — they also agree he was a unifying force and beyond, dedicated to his family, friends and community. “I’m hoping that each one of us can carry that with us, that we can touch that many lives,” said state Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, for whom Koernig campaigned valiantly despite his Republican roots. “I had no idea who this funny short man was who

was saying things everybody in the room was thinking but nobody had the courage to say,” laughed Newell. “Ray was never one to just sit on a board and cast votes with the majority,” said former Littleton Mayor John Ostermiller. “He never shied away from controversy.” Charlie Vale recalled discussing matters of faith with Koernig, who didn’t put much stock in formalized religion. “He asked me if I’d talked to my imaginary friend lately. I told him I had, and that she told me she was having trouble believing in Ray Koernig,” he said, garnering a big laugh. Koernig’s son Wilton sent his father off with the words of Robert Frost, a favorite: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Wilton Koernig said his father didn’t put much stock in that, either. “Dad always said that no matter what road Robert would have taken, stuff was going to happen.”

New school goes old school 19th-century philosophy is getting high marks By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews. com It may be hard to believe, but the teachings of a 19thcentury, home-schooled British schoolmarm are alive, well and gaining ground among parents seeking a different approach to K-8 education. Based on the philosophy Charlotte Mason, the Ambleside School of Colorado offers what co-founder Kimberley Lorden calls a “living education,” where students author their own lives, steeped in service to the church and to others, ideas, exacting work habits and creativity. Located in Centennial, the tuition-based Christian school strives to actively engage students in the learning process — even leading their own classroom discussions on such complex topics as classical music and the founding of the Catholic Church. “It’s a different approach, indeed,” said Lorden, who started the school with her husband, Greg, to fill the needs of their own children. “In many schools, students are told to sit quietly, listen to lectures and then try to reinforce what they’ve learned through homework, and that’s not always a good model for every child.” Lorden said the school, now in its third year, alternates creative subjects such as art and music with more disciplinary subjects such as science and math, using one to frame the other for a more “balanced education that nourishes the whole person.” Minimizing the use of traditional textbooks and heavy reliance on technology, the school encourages students to foster self-expression and the ability

Ambleside students repot a struggling plant during a Feb. 20 science class. Based on the philosophy of early 20th-century British educator Charlotte Mason, students at the private Christian school are taught to cultivate a love of lifelong learning.

‘Our goal is to nurture individual curiosity, growth and maturity, with the child being compared only to him or herself, not those around them.’ Kimberly Lorden, school co-founder to evaluate new ideas on their own. Students learn Spencerian script, a type of elegant cursive handwriting that flourished at the turn of the 20th century, and was selected as the script for the logos of Ford Motor Company and Coca-Cola. Foreign-language classes are conducted in the same fashion one learns to speak a native tongue, learning meaningful words and phrases long before written grammar is introduced. Ambleside’s signature picture-study classes pull together cognitive and language skills with grade-appropriate rhetori-

cal criticism. “Essentially, we offer the student a bountiful feast of ideas,” explained Lorden. “We have this giant plate of ideas and students are free to choose from the selection.” However, Lorden is quick to point out that Ambleside is not an “everybody-gets-a-gold-star kind of school.” She said the rich curriculum is challenging and helps develop good academic habits that benefit students in other parts of life. Centennial resident Sandy Tate, whose three children attend the 60-student school, one

of only six in the United States, said Ambleside gives her the best of both worlds. “We had home-schooled our children until we discovered Ambleside,” said Tate. “The curriculum is very similar to what we would want taught at home, but gives the advantage of a more structured environment. And the kids love it so much they jump out of bed and are actually excited to go to school.” Ultimately, Lorden said, the school’s philosophy centers on building the students’ internal controls, encouraging accountability for actions based on vales and not on fear or manipulation with treats or special privileges. “We don’t believe students are simply blank plates to be sent through the industrial educational machine, only to come out the other end as a carbon copy of someone else’s plan,” Lorden said. “Our goal is to nurture individual curiosity, growth and maturity, with the child being compared only to him or herself, not those around them.”

Two business turnaround experts have added Colorado spots that need saving in this season’s TV episodes. Hotel “fixer” Anthony Melchiorri, who has more than 20 years in the hospitality business and has turned around highprofile places, including The Algonquin in New York City, will tackle the Western Riviera Motel in Grand Lake on “Hotel Impossible” at 8 p.m. MST March 25 on the Travel Channel. While the hotel needed some major overhauling, Melchiorri reportedly fell in love with Grand Lake. “I will go on record saying it’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever been,” Melchiorri told Sky-Hi News. “I was blown away. Grand Lake is a piece of art. Every single time you turn around there is either frozen lake with a beautiful cloud over it, or there’s a part of the lake that’s not frozen with a sun over it, or there’s a mountain by itself or a formation of mountains. I’ve not seen the same landscape since I’ve been here. “And then you take this beautiful town of Grand Lake that looks like the back lot of a Hollywood studio and you incorporate that with just beautiful, open-hearted people who know each other — it’s my favorite place, and it is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. And I thought Alaska and Hawaii would be tops, and this surprised me.” For more on Melchiorri and “Hotel Impossible,” go to www.travelchannel.com/ tv-shows/hotel-impossible.

Something old, something new

Old Major, a restaurant that specializes in “farmhouse fare,” is a major addition to Denver’s cuisine scene. During a delicious and informative press event recently, chef/co-owner Justin Brunson (Masterpiece Deli), walked us through a multicourse tasting, which included wood-fired Pei mussels, black truffle and pistachio sausages, the smoked fish plate, a vegetarian three-course tasting (which changes every Monday), panseared pork chop, pan-roasted Colorado striped bass, duck fat French fries, woodfired Brussels sprouts and braised mustard greens. (We shared, trust me!) Not to mention the crust-crunchy pretzel rolls with mustard butter that precedes each meal. What, no dessert? Are you nuts? Pastry chef Nadine Donovan delighted us with a crème caramel adorned with a crisp slice of bacon and a maple syrup sauce and her interpretation of baked Alaska.

Young opera singers set for competition Vocalists range in age from 23 to 32

IF YOU GO The Denver Lyric Opera Guild Competition for Young Singers finals will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. March 16 at Bethany Lutheran Church, 4500 E. Hampden Ave., Cherry Hills Village. Admission is free.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Opera lovers are invited to enjoy the finals of Denver Lyric Opera Guild’s Competition for Young Singers from 1 to 5 p.m. March 16 at Bethany Lutheran Church, 4500 E. Hampden Ave. in Cherry Hills Village. Admission is free and finalists from the March 2 preliminaries will compete for recognition and cash awards totaling $34,240. Prizes range from $250 to $6,000, given to 10 finalists and five honorable mention finalists. The competitors range in age from 23 to 32 and come from training programs at Colorado State University, Metropolitan State University, University of Colorado, University of Denver, University of Northern Colorado, as well as the Central City Opera House artist training program, Opera Colo-

rado Young Artists, Opera Fort Collins and Opera Theatre of the Rockies young artists’ ensemble. In 2012, grants totaling $30,000 were awarded by the Guild to these schools and organizations. Among the semi-finalists were Highlands Ranch soprano Phoenix Gayles and Tom Kittle of Centennial, a student at Lamont School of Music. Jane Gibson, the DLOG publicist, estimated that a young opera singer’s education costs about $300,000, so these awards are truly helpful. Guild literature calculates that the organization has contributed over $1 million to the next generations of young, aspiring opera singers. “Giving Voice to Opera” is the Guild’s appropriate motto.

The Guild also hosts “Opera on Tuesdays” luncheons for its approximately 250 members during the year. (About 64 live in Arapahoe County and 14 in Douglas County.) Luncheons are held at various country clubs and offer a musical program and lunch. A Black Tie Gala in early spring helps raise money for the competition awards and local and regional opera tours are planned. Luncheon tickets cost $30 or $35, which helps to pay for the singers’ lunch. On April 2, for example, the Competition award winners will perform at Pinehurst Country Club ($35). Reservation checks to DLOG, P.O. Box 339, Englewood, CO 80151, must be received by March 28. The May 7 meeting will be at Columbine Country Club in Littleton, with a $30 reservation due by May 2. Opera Ft. Collins apprentice artists will perform. New members are welcome ($40). For information, call 720-239-3120 or visit denverlyricoperaguild.org.

Denver Salon was formed 20 years ago

ROSTER OF EVENTS

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The Byers-Evans House Gallery celebrates the Month of Photography with an exhibit called “The Denver Salon: Then and Now,” which runs though May 31. Twenty years ago, photographer Mark Sink formed the Denver Salon, a group of fine art photographers that he admired. The Salon prided itself with presenting bold experiments, risky and revealing subject matter and ambitious photo installations. Members were committed to taking the art of photography to new places. This exhibition will trace changes from the earliest work to that of today’s members. Included in the show: Mark Sink, Eric Havelock-

Lecture events are listed, including three at RedLine Gallery: Rebecca Martinez at 2 p.m. March 9; Action Figures — “Musical Chairs” by Katie Taft and Don Frank at 6 p.m. March 24; and a presentation on copywright and licensing your work by Jackie Shumaker, Art Photographers of America, at 7 p.m. on April 25.

from bar manager Courtney Wilson (formerly of Williams & Graham). But enough about the food. The decor is a wonder on its own. The space, at 3316 Tejon St., was a rollerskating rink back in the day, and Old Major’s decor pays homage to its roots. The hostess stand, for example, is on roller-skate wheels. The sconces at the entrance were fashioned from split buckets that held roller skates. The floor is from the original roller rink. FinArt, a local designer and fabricator, designed many of the design elements in the modern farmhouse decor. Dinner is served seven nights a week, and reservations are available at www.opentable.com or by calling 720-420-0622. (Twenty percent of the 90-seat dining room is saved for walkins.)

Moreno joins CBS4 morning news

Britt Moreno, from KSAZ-TV in Phoenix, will be the new co-anchor of

the “CBS4 Morning News” at 5 a.m., 6 a.m. and noon, beginning in early April. She will share the set with coanchor Alan Gionet. Moreno, who worked at the Phoenix TV station as a weekend morning anchor since 2010, is replacing Brooke Wagner, whose contract wasn’t renewed. Before KSAZ-TV, Moreno worked at KRGV-TV in south Texas as a general assignment reporter. Moreno, who is bilingual, is originally from Austin, Texas. She attended Trinity University in San Antonio where she received degrees in communications and Spanish. In her spare time, she enjoys the outdoors, reading, cooking and trying local restaurants.

Ford Big Apple bound

KYGO-FM country radio veteran Kelly Ford posted this on Twitter Friday after she landed at LaGuardia Airport: “If I can make it here I can make it anywhere. I’ve got a bit of news. After over 20 great years in Denver, I’m excited to begin a new broadcasting adventure at NASH-FM and thrilled

to be a part of bringing country back to NYC. Thanks so much for all your support and encouragement.” Congrats, Kelly! Hope the Big Apple doesn’t bite.

Where were you born? Laurie was born in New Haven, CT while Michael was born in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. How long have you lived in the area? We have lived in metro Denver for 15 years. We came here on vacation in June 1997 and fell in love with Colorado. We went back to Connecticut, sold our business and our home there, and moved here 9 weeks later!

Connecticut, has been a licensed REALTOR® since 1985 and Michael since 1997.

mahjong with her girlfriends. Michael is an avid golfer. Together we enjoy hiking and horseback riding, and travelling.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? Our specialty is making real estate very easy for our clients. We love helping people who are moving because of a change of life circumstances (new job, birth, death, marriage, divorce, etc.) find the right home, in the right area, at the right price. Moreover, if there is a home to be sold, our goal is get our clients the most money, in the least amount of time, with the least hassle. Moving can be a very stressful time in one’s life, we try to keep the stress level at a minimum.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? The key to selling your home is marketing it to the widest range of potential Buyers. Ask every agent you interview about his or her marketing program.

What is the most challenging part of what you do? Right now, because of low inventory, the most challenging part of what we do is finding suitable homes for our Buyers and handling the multiple offers we often get for our Sellers.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? That they need to find an agent who is not just interested in earning a commission from them buying any house, but rather, an agent who is invested in them finding the right house. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? We recently sold a home where a murder had taken place. Even though Colorado real estate law does not require the disclosure of a “psychological stigma”, we prevailed upon the Seller to allow us to disclose this fact. Despite knowledge of the “stigma”, we had multiple offers and the home sold for over asking in less than a week!

What do you like most about it? We love the weather and the scenery. Colorado is so beautiful and all those sunny days, one after another. They draw you outdoors.

our shower and commode are partitioned off your master bathroom and can be closed off when you are using that area. You notice some “dirt” or “soot” in the ceiling above the commode, but you are not concerned. You can wipe it off another day. Wrong. It is not dirt or soot; it is mold, and although it is only small, if you do not do something immediately, the mold will continue to spread and create a potentially serious health hazard to you and your family members. Mold forms in places that either are naturally humid, or where there has been a water problem caused by a leaking roof or pipe. Some mold may be hidden behind wallpaper, under carpets or in other areas not easily seen. If not remediated quickly, mold can spread and cause neurological symptoms such as headaches, trouble concentrating, short attention span, memory loss, dizziness, or it can cause or worsen allergies or aller-

MOLD

gic reactions causing skin irritation, rash, or pulmonary disease. It can even cause or aggravate life threatening chronic conditions, such as asthma, cancer or hypersensitivity pmenmontis (HP). A judge in Elbert County suffered severe pulmonary reactions not too long ago which were finally diagnosed as being caused by mold that formed in the Elbert County courthouse. Ultimately, the mold was remediated, but not before the judge went through a hellish experience fighting the symptoms. Mold can grow indoors and outdoors, and it is more prevalent in localities that have high humidity problems, unlike the dry climate that favors Colorado. Nonetheless, mold does grow in Colorado and is especially prevalent in areas affected by water and structures built with damp or wet building materials. The Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) does not recommend sampling for mold, since although there are many different types of mold, all of them present a health hazard. Mold can readily be recognized by a damp or musty smell, and the areas that have been subjected to water leaks and improper drainage will generally have telltale water stains and marks that one can be sure either contain mold or will contain mold. Once discovered, the mold should be remediated quickly. Depending on how big the mold infestation is, the cost of remediation will vary from several hundreds of dollars to many thousands. In any

To help prevent the growth of mold, the following steps are recommended: • lower indoor humidity with air conditioners, de-humidifiers and exhaust fans • inspect hoses & fittings on appliances, sinks and toilets • use household cleaners with mold-cleaning ingredients like bleach • opt for paints and primers that contain mold inhibitors • clean gutters to avoid overflow and check roof for leaks • avoid carpet in wet areas like basements and bathrooms case, drying out the affected areas may not be enough; the requirement may be that all affected areas must be removed and replaced. Mold damage has resulted in some monstrous jury verdicts including $14 million in Florida, $18 million in California and $32 million in Texas. Some well-known individuals have initiated mold law suits including Michael Jordan, Ed McMahon and Erin Brockovich. As a result, insurance companies now often have disclaimers for mold damage, so it is important to read the policy to determine if such an exclusion exists. If it does, the insurance adjuster will generally attempt to deny cover-

age claiming that the homeowner caused the mold or contributed to its spread by allowing wet areas to fester. However, if the mold is caused by a sudden and accidental incident, such as a pipe bursting, the cost of remediation probably will be covered by insurance. The reasoning is that technically the pipe burst and that caused the claim, not the mold itself. Roughly 22% of all homeowners’ insurance claims result from “water damage” and “freezing”, which includes remediation. Some insurance companies also offer mold riders to the general homeowners insurance policies. However, a mold rider could cost

an additional $500 to $1,500 a year on an existing policy, and more in humid climates. If your insurance carrier refuses to provide a rider because of the increased risk, some casualty companies might sell you a standalone mold policy if you are still concerned. However, the premiums for a standalone mold policy might range from $5,000 to $25,000, making the cost of the policy disproportionate to the value of your home. In short, the prevention of mold through safeguarding measures is, in the long run, far less expensive than remediating mold or carrying expensive insurance. The homeowner must make that choice. ■

Hudson Gardens gets one big nest 22-foot-tall sculpture near songbird area

IF YOU GO Hudson Gardens and Event Center is located at 6115 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. It is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, except for early closing on concert days. Admission to the Gardens is free.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Joshua Wiener’s new sculpture, “Collective Nest,” arrived in two pieces and was bolted together on-site at Hudson Gardens earlier in February. The location for the 22-foot-tall piece is just west of the amphitheater, near the new Songbird Garden, where planting will be completed this spring with perennials that provide food for birds. (Specially chosen bird-attractive trees and shrubs were planted in fall 2012, and feeders were installed.) Wiener comes by his sculpture career naturally — his mother, Madeline Wiener, established the Marble Institute in Marble, Colo., and has public works throughout

Denver, including a figure in front of Goodson Recreation Center and the relief figures on the Lamont School of Music at DU. Joshua Wiener, a Boulder resident with a studio in Denver, has commissioned works across Colorado and elsewhere in the U.S., including gates at Carson Nature Center in South Platte Park, Littleton; a team of cyclists in Durango; and a piece in Castle Rock. He teaches at the Denver Art Students League and has created works in bronze, stone, steel, water, earth, plants, concrete, sand and asphalt, according to his website.

“Collective Nest” is made of stainless and mild steel. The animals are stainless and the remainder of the work will rust naturally, forming a protective surface that does not require maintenance. The South Suburban Public Art Committee agreed that this was the right location for this piece, where it will be enjoyed by 120,000 garden guests annually. Members of the committee are: Joyce Volp, chair; Katherine McMurray, vice chair; Jim Dickson; Nora Pearson; Rhonda Poelma; Charles Whitley; Phyllis Torres; and Julie Trimarchi. In June, F.A. “Al” Clerihue will begin a term.

Chorale takes it away to cabaret Group joins with others for two nights of song By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The 35-year-old Littleton Chorale begins its 2013 season with a menu of cabaret music and jazz, featuring nationally known cabaret singer Lynne Rothrock and the local Dan Geisler Trio performing with the chorale, directed by Todd Michael Krueger, for two nights, March 15 and 16. “Life is a Cabaret” will play in the Littleton area at 7:30 p.m. March 15 at Littleton United Methodist Church, 5894 S. Datura St., and farther west at 7:30 p.m. March 16 at Heritage United Methodist Church, 7077 S. Simms St. The program will have three parts: First, Littleton Chorale and the Dan Geisler Trio (Geisler, keyboards;

Edward “Bijoux” Barbosa, bass; Dave Rohlf, drums). Numbers will include “Razzle Dazzle,” from Kander and Ebb’s “Chicago”; “A House is Not a Home” by Bachrach; and “Rhythm of Life” from Coleman’s “Sweet Charity.” Second, Lynne Rothrock and the Dan Geisler Trio will perform — selections to be announced from the stage. Third, Rothrock, the Geisler Trio and the Littleton Chorale will perform together. Here the program includes “Stormy Weather” by Arlen and Koehler; “Honeysuckle Rose,” by Waller and Razaf; and “Ring them Bells” by Kander and Ebb. Lynne Rothrock has performed solo in a variety of venues across the country from Cape Cod to Eugene, Ore.; has taught master classes and served as a clinician at vocal jazz and choir festivals; and has served on the faculty of colleges and universities.

The Independent 19

Geisler is a Colorado native who arranges and orchestrates locally and nationally and writes for publication. Barbosa, born in Brazil, lives in Denver and works on jazz and Latin projects and plays with many Latin fusion bands. Rohlf has been associated with the University of Northern Colorado, where he minored in percussion and filled the drum chair in UNC’s top jazz groups. The Littleton Chorale began in 1978 under founding director Bud Nicholson and has grown under six directors, with singers from across the south suburban area and beyond. Under the direction of Michael Krueger, it presently has 65 members and auditions prospective members at the start of spring and fall seasons. Tickets cost $15/$12 and are available at LittletonChorale.org. For information, call 303-973-9593.

Plenty of Riches to be Found on Chamber Silent Auction Site There is still plenty of time to bid and donate to the 2013 South Metro Denver Chamber Casino Night and Silent Auction. This year promises to be a bang-up affair as we step back to a less-genteel time to the Gold Rush days of Deadwood. The annual Casino Night, themed "Welcome to Deadwood", being held March 26th at a secret location to be announced, partners with the Silent Auction which will feature donations from companies across the metro area, and anyone can go on the chamber’s website at www.bestchamber.com in the weeks leading up to the live auction and casino night to place a bid. Gold is out there to be had and the good-times will be flowing with drinks and gamin' presented "old-west" style by Bartenders & More, vittles by Ivy at the Glen, and good times presented by CAP Logistics. The Deadwood theme means men - present your western best - no cow-pied boots or hangman nooses allowed. String ties and shiny belt buckles are the dress of the evening. Women - show us your Victorian side with hoop skirts, big hats and garter belts sure to make a cowboy blush. “I remember the "Days of 76" spring break in Deadwood, S.D., in my college days,” said Ann Bartels of EmbroidMe Denver South, a longtime chamber investor. “It was a blast!

Bruins bounce Lions from playoffs Littleton made first postseason appearance since 2009 By Craig Harper

sports@ourcoloradonews.com With leading scorer Sam Stoveall in the midst of a mini-shooting slump, Cherry Creek’s Will Bower assumed the role of point producer in the Feb. 27 Class 5A state tournament opener against Littleton. The sophomore responded with a season-high 16 points as the sixth-seeded Bruins rolled to a 61-38 home victory. Sixth-seeded Creek went on to a 52-44 upset of No. 3 seed Aurora Central on March 2, giving the Bruins a berth in the Sweet 16. Creek never gave Littleton a chance, jumping out to a 10-0 lead in the first three minutes. The Bruins led 27-9 less than halfway through the second quarter and built leads of 20 points early in the third and 25 late in the fourth. “It’s good that we all stepped up and played aggressively,’’ said Bower, whose previous high was 14 and had double figures in just one of the previous eight games. “It’s good to know that we don’t

BOYS BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Local teams advance to Sweet 16 By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Denver East is everybody’s favorite to eventually win the Class 5A boys basketball state championship. It’s anybody’s guess which team in a balanced group of contenders is the best. “You just want to survive in the playoffs,” ThunderRidge coach Joe Ortiz said. “There are going to be good matchups where people are going to have to go home that are good teams. “If you took East out of it and just played a tournament and kept replaying it, you would never get the same winner. It could play out different each time.” A slew of teams from the south metro area advanced to the Sweet 16 games scheduled for March 6. Mountain Vista, ThunderRidge, Cherry Creek, Legend, Heritage and Arapahoe each had hopes of extending their seasons to the Great Eight, to be played March 8 at the Denver Coliseum. Here’s a look at some of the recent 5A playoff action: • Jake Pemberton scored 22 points and Chandler Wiscombe connected on a 4-foot bank shot at the buzzer to lift Mountain Vista to a 59-57 second round triumph over Lincoln last Saturday. • ThunderRidge held off Overland, 67-57, as Joe Marucci scored a game-high 23 points for the Grizzlies. • Legend benefited from several secondchance points and upset Grandview, 75-67, to advance into the third round. Jonathon Cosmann scored 22 points, Blake Truman had 14 and Elijah Cherrington tossed in 10 points for the Titans. • Hot-shooting Heritage grabbed a 19-point lead after three quarters and held on to elimi-

nate Fountain Fort Carson, 75-66, to notch its sixth consecutive win. The Eagles shot 63 percent from the field and had five players in double figures, led by Josh Stewart who had 13 points. Danny Strine and Eli Ziegler each had 12 points while Ryan Singer and Garrett Delphina both contributed 11 points. • Arapahoe held Columbine to 23 points in the first three quarters in the Warriors’ 61-47 second round triumph. • Cherry Creek jumped out to a 22-8 lead on its way to defeating Aurora Central in a second-round game March 2. • Defending Class 5A champion Chaparral was ousted from the playoffs after a 5851 setback to Fossil Ridge in Fort Collins. The Wolverines, led by Brandon Malone’s 18 points, made just 32 percent of their field goal attempts and ended the season with a 13-12 record. • Highlands Ranch also shot poorly from the field and the foul line in a 70-64 loss to Rangeview. Evan Motlong scored 20 points for the Falcons (17-8), who shot 33 percent from the field and made only 17-of-34 attempts from the field throw line in a game that saw a combined 79 free throws attempted.

Class 4A: Valor Christian advances

Chase Foster scored 15 points as Valor Christian defeated Widefield, 58-55, to move in the Class 4A Great 8 on March 9 at the Denver Coliseum. The Eagles (20-4) will face Sand Creek (23-3) in an 8:30 p.m. game. Valor lost, 76-61, to Sand Creek earlier this season.

Class 2A: Lutheran plays in Durango

Lutheran (16-5) finished third in last weekend’s district tournament and will face Sargent (12-11) in a semifinal Region 3 contest March 8 in Durango.

regular-season game. Junior Austin Bieber, one of the top inside reserves, missed the playoff game with an illness.

Senior guard Nicolas Giordano led the Lions against Creek with 17 points. Ladwig and senior Andreas Malmstrom had 8 apiece.

GIRLS BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Continental League girls stay tough By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Coaches have stressed all season that playing games in the Continental League is good preparation for the girls state basketball playoffs. Players must have paid attention since six Continental League teams played in the March 5 Sweet Sixteen round of the Class 5A state playoffs. Tuesday’s winners advanced to the March 7 Great Eight at the Denver Coliseum. “The Continental League prepared us,” Mountain Vista coach Mike Willahan said. “We’ve played good opponents in Highlands Ranch, Regis, ThunderRidge, Rock Canyon and Chaparral.” Mountain Vista, which opened the playoffs with a 63-34 win over George Washington, lost to Palmer, 54-43, and failed to make the Sweet Sixteen. However, Highlands Ranch, ThunderRidge, Rock Canyon, Chaparral, Castle View and Regis Jesuit did make it to the third round of the playoffs Highlands Ranch, ThunderRidge, Rock Canyon, Chaparral and Regis had first-round byes. Highlands Ranch whipped Pine Creek 71-38 in a second-round game last week as Madison Montgomery and Ciera Morgan each had 15 points in the victory. ThunderRidge jumped to a 42-18 halftime lead and toppled Rampart 6330. Lexy Thorderson scored 22 points in Rock Canyon’s 48-40 win over Grand Junction.

The Jaguars led by 10 points in the third quarter but had to outscore Grand Junction 10-4 in the final 2:36 to secure the win. Chaparral ousted Monarch, 59-48, as Katie Longwell led the way with 16 points. Katrina Bacovcin added 14 points and Kyleigh Rees finished with 11 points. Castle View beat Arvada West, 76-38, in the first round and upset Poudre, 6959 in overtime, in Fort Collins last week. Alyssa Purls banked in a 3-point shot to send the game into overtime and the Sabercats outscored the Impalas, 13-3, in the extra session. “The girls battled tough and never quit,” Castle View coach Matt Hema said. “Even with several players fouled out in regulation including three starters. “I’ve always said our league prepares us for moments like this. We have had to learn how to play with a deficit against tough teams in our league and learn how to keep the games close and give ourselves a chance to win. “Sometimes you get there and sometimes you don’t,” continued Hema. “We prepare every day like it’s the playoffs because we are going against top 10 talented programs. If you don’t prepare well, you can get embarrassed in our league.” Arapahoe of the Centennial League also had an opening-round bye and had an easy 68-23 win over Brighton in the second round. The Warriors led 35-6 at halftime and Carly Buechler’s 11 points paced ArapaTough continues on Page 28

with her riders,” said Hawkins. While many of Hamrock’s passengers acknowledge they miss driving, they say the Omnibus allows them freedom not everyone has. “It was much easier when my keys were on my counter, and when

I wanted to go, I picked up my keys and got in my car and went,” said Virginia Cryder. “But I’m grateful I have this option. If I lived on the east side of Broadway, I wouldn’t.” Omnibus, along with the similar Shopping Cart program and the Greater Littleton Youth Initiative, were the topic of an October 2011

study session prior to passage of the 2013 budget. City Manager Michael Penny said the discussion was intended for consideration of the programs in years following. Mayor Debbie Brinkman said the intent was not to get rid of the programs, but to find alternate ways to fund them.

During the meeting, City Clerk Wendy Heffner described one passenger, a 40-year-old woman who uses a wheelchair who volunteers at a preschool three days a week; that’s good for her and the kids, so Omnibus takes her. “That’s what we’re all about, helping people,” said Heffner.
