Neighbors express concerns over homes Six duplex units would be built on Quincy Avenue

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Metropolitan Residential Advisors, the developers proposing a plan to build homes on the empty lot at 1296 W. Quincy Ave., held a neighborhood meeting Dec. 29 and heard area residents raise concerns about the number of proposed housing units as well as traffic issues.

Footprints in snow lead to man’s arrest

Michael Warren, development manager for the project, explained the proposal to about 20 people who attended the meeting. Near the end of the hour-long session, Warren said the company heard the comments and will try to take what they learned from the meeting and consider making feasible changes to the proposal as the process to seek city approval for the development moves forward.

The proposal is to build six duplex units on the site. Each two-story home would have three bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms and a three-car attached garage.

The price range would be $375,000 to $425,000.

“Our company wants to build a project that will enhance the neighborhood,” Warren said. “This site has challenges including its shape, size and the fact the site is part of a transition between an industrial area and a residential area.”

He completed his presentation and opened the meeting to comments from those who live in the area.

Nancy Baker, a neighbor, said this is the third development proposal for the area.

“The previous plan that was denied by the city council was for 11 houses,” she said. “I don’t see how a 12-house project will fly.”

Jim Svigel Jr., who lives in the area, said he was very concerned that if the project was built, it would vastly increase the traffic on Quincy Avenue.

“The project under construction at Oxford and Windermere is 230 units, and I am concerned what the traffic from these two projects will do to the traffic on

GIVING IT THEIR BEST SHOT

Suspect was sought in connection with burglary

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com A man was tracked down and arrested Jan. 8 after police investigating a smashand-grab burglary followed the suspect’s footprints in the snow to an apartment building, where they were able to locate and arrest him without incident.

“We are not releasing any details about the man who was arrested because our detectives are working with officers from several other jurisdictions to determine if this suspect might have been involved the smash-and-grab burglaries in their communities,” said Kevin Sage, Englewood Police investigator. “Since this in an ongoing investigation, we are not even releasing the suspect’s age.”

Englewood officers were called about 1:50 a.m. Jan. 8 to respond to a burglar alarm at a business in the 900 block of East Hampden Avenue. Officers found the business had been broken into and burglarized.

Police attempted to follow the footprints of the possible burglar that were leading away from the business, but the trail ended. However, the officers then answered another alarm call in the Burglary continues on Page 5

Petition drive targets Sheridan photo radar Resident heads effort to rid city of camera, van

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Paul Howard spearheads the effort to have Sheridan cease using its radar camera and photo radar van to issue tickets and collect fines.

“City officials said the radar camera and van improve safety,” he said. “I don’t think that is the case. I feel it is simply a way for the city to collect fines, plus I think it erodes the public’s respect for police officers because most people believe police officers issue the tickets, which isn’t the case. The system is operated by contractors who are paid by the city.”

He said he started the campaign because he was against the use of photo radar and red light cameras.

“The state Legislature passed two antiphoto radar bills, and the governor vetoed both of them,” he said. “The governor said local communities could take action against photo radar through the initiative process, so I decided to do that here in Sheridan.”

Howard and about 15 campaign volunteers are going door-to-door, asking residents to sign a petition requesting that Sheridan do away with the camera and van. He said about 75 percent of the registered voters he talked to signed the petition.

“I am further encouraged,” he said, “by all the horn honks and thumbs-up I get from motorists when I am carrying a sign protesting photo radar.”

“This is the second go-around for our petitions,” Howard added. “We got the required signatures, but removed the staples to photocopy them, which is a no-no and makes the petitions invalid. So we learned, and we are out collecting signatures again.”

He said there are about 3,000 registered voters in Sheridan and, to move forward with the initiative, the campaign must collect 452 signatures, which is 15 percent of the city’s registered voters.

“We had more than the required number

Paul Howard holds a sign and urges drivers to slow down because Sheridan’s radar van is monitoring traffic just ahead. Howard is spearheading a petition drive for an election aimed at requiring Sheridan to eliminate its radar van and its red light camera. Photo by Tom Munds of signatures on the first effort and plan for our petition to include 500 or more signatures this time,” he said.

He said he hopes to be able to turn in the petitions by Feb. 1.

“The clerk has 30 days to verify the signatures, and then there is a 40-day period for residents to protest the process,” Howard said. “If the petitions are verified and there is no successful challenge, the clerk will present the initiative to the city council. The council can then adopt an ordinance elimi-

nating the van and camera or set a date for a special election. If we go to an election, I expect that will happen sometime this summer.”

Sheridan City Manager Devin Granbury agreed the camera and van do generate revenue for the city, but he said the primary reason for using the devices is traffic safety.

“The photo radar van is placed in school zones to slow traffic in those areas for the safety of the children and those driving the vehicles,” he said. “The red light camera is

also there hopefully to make the flow of traffic through the intersection safer for all drivers.”

The red light camera is located at the intersection of Highway 285 and RiverPoint Parkway. The photo radar van moves around the city, but it is usually located in and around school zones, the city manager said.

Grandbury said both devices are operated by employees of Xerox State and Local System. The Sheridan contract pays the company a fee of $26 of every fine paid. A standard fine for a red light camera violation is $40. The photo radar van ticket is the same fee unless the ticket is issued in the school zone, in which case the fine is doubled.

The city also pays the part-time salaries of the van operators and other overhead expenses estimated at about $40,000 per year. The estimated revenue for 2015 from the camera and van was about $725,000; the total amount the contractor is to receive is an estimated $398,000, leaving an estimated $327,000 to go back into the city’s coffers.

“The amount the city received in 2015 from tickets issued by the van and red light camera was included as part of the police department budget,” the city manager said.

“The revenue from the camera and van make up about 10 percent of the police department budget, and the estimate is that if Sheridan lost those funds, we would have to reduce our patrol officer force of 20 by two positions.”

He also said the devices allow police officers to be on the street doing crime investigations instead of being assigned to traffic enforcement.

Howard didn’t agree that the camera and van improve traffic safety.

“City officials say drivers slow down when they see the van and try to avoid violations that would be caught on camera,” he said. “I don’t think those things happen, plus I feel there are other ways to enhance traffic safety like flashing lights at key locations and those message boards showing the speed of approaching vehicles. Sheridan doesn’t use either of those devices.”

Drivers are not assessed points on their licenses for violations recorded by the red light camera and the photo radar van.

Q&A WITH STATE LEGISLATORS

Term-limited senator hopes for bipartisanship

- State Sen. Linda Newell t d By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com

First elected in 2008, state Sen. Linda Newell represents District 26, which encompasses Bow Mar, a portion of west Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Columbine Valley, FoxA field, Englewood, Greenwood Village, Littleton, Sheridan n and parts of Aurora. She has lived in Littleton since 1992, e and raised her two grown daughters in the Littleton Public Schools system.

By trade she is a certified human-resources consultant s and conflict coach. During this legislative session, her final d one due to term limits, she is serving on the Health and Hur man Services Committee; the Business, Labor, and Technolm ogy Committee; and the Joint Technology Committee.

What are your goals for the session?

Since I’m termed out with this as my last session, I’ve

been told to take it easy, but that’s just not my style. So as usual, I’ll be focusing on some of our most complex challenges like mental health and suicide prevention, child abuse, human trafficking and reducing health care costs.

As an example, Colorado now has the seventh highest suicide rate in the country. Suicides in our state are increasing every year, and this surge is now a public health crisis. In 2014, over 1,000 Coloradans took their own lives, the most in our history. Why? My Zero Suicide bill will strengthen resources and start a new all-hands-on-deck approach across systems, including suicide assessment training for mental health providers and primary care physicians. As many of us know, the suicide of a loved one is devastating, and we should do everything we can to prevent it.

Colorado and your district will be best served if the Legislature... …comes together in a bipartisan way to pass thoughtful legislation and a balanced budget that supports our Colorado way of life. We are fortunate to live in such a beautiful state, and every Coloradan deserves a fair shot to enjoy all it has to offer.

Democrat aims for ‘consensus at the Capitol’ State Rep. Daniel Kagan

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

State Rep. Daniel Kagan, a Democrat who lives in Cherry Hills Village, represents District 3 in the Colorado d House of Representatives. District 3 includes Sheridan, Englewood, Greenwood Village and Cherry Hills as well as portions of Littleton and unincorporated Arapahoe - County.

Kagan has represented the district since he was s appointed in 2009 following the resignation of Anne c McGihon. He won election in 2010, and re-election in d 2012 and 2014. An attorney by trade, Kagan was born and raised in England, the son of Holocaust survivors e who met in a Nazi concentration camp. He moved to the United States in 1975 and became a U.S. citizen in 1984.

Kagan earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and d political science from George Washington University in 1984, and his law degree from Yale Law School in 1987; he was admitted to the bar of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in 1989.

Prior to the Jan. 13 start of the 2016 Legislative session, Kagan took some time to answer the following questions.

What will be the biggest issues facing the Legislature during the 2016 session?

Ensuring the benefits of the economic recovery reach all Colorado, not only the big corporations and wealthier citizens, but all hard-working, law-abiding Coloradans.

Many of us are not feeling the recovery yet, and it’s partly because of policies tilted toward the well-connected and powerful interests. Our priorities must shift toward giving everyone a fair shot at economic security.

We must ease the pressure on Coloradans to go into huge debt to pay for college, and find ways to better fund and Kagan improve our public schools, as the economy grows; Coloradans deserve access to a good education without going broke.

As people from across the country flock to our great state (showing impeccable judgment!), we have to grow our stock of housing that working Coloradans can afford.

These are among our most pressing issues, and we do have solutions, if we can find the political will to act on them.

What are your goals for the session?

I aim to continue to be the legislator who, as I have

Spending rift divides lawmakers, governor

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press With Colorado’s legislative session set to start this week, the main agenda item for Gov. John Hickenlooper seems dead on arrival, a sign that the state’s partisan divides and unorthodox spending limits will continue to paralyze it in 2016.

Partisan sniping over Hickenlooper’s proposal to shuffle money around in the state budget to avoid having to refund it to taxpayers is setting the stage for a long standoff over balancing the books. And it underscores how a governor who depicts himself as able to transcend partisanship increasingly seems captive to it.

The topic of debate is the usual suspect: money.

Hickenlooper wants lawmakers to reclassify about $750 million next year coming from a fee on hospital patients.

The reclassification would remove that sum from Colorado’s constitutional spending limits and allow the state to spend more money without asking voters, as would otherwise be required under the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights.

Hickenlooper says the hospital fee is Colorado’s best shot at paying for road improvements, education, a new state water distribution plan and other priorities. Colorado attracted about 100,000 new residents last year, and the governor says the state needs to keep tax collections even if they’re growing faster than the spending cap allows.

“What are the alternative plans that have been generated to produce the kind of revenues we need to move the state forward?’’ Hickenlooper said Jan.

6. “I so far haven’t seen a place where there Report is sufficient revenue to build the kind of infrastructure this state needs to compete.’’

Democratic House Speaker Dickey Lee Hullinghorst this week called the hospital fee reclassification a “fix” to avoid refunding excess tax collections to taxpayers.

“We should be using that money to invest in infrastructure, to invest in education,’’ Hullinghorst said. “If we don’t do that, we are putting our Colorado way of life at risk.’’

But the plan is going over like a lead balloon with the GOP, which controls the state Senate and has an equal say on the budget-writing committee.

Republicans have called Hickenlooper’s budget proposal a “shell game.’’ GOP Senate President Bill Cadman even called reporters to his office Jan. 6 to describe the plan as illegal. He cited a nonbinding legal opinion from the Legislature’s own lawyers, an opinion Democrats dispute but could gird Republican opposition to the plan.

“This will not stand,’’ Cadman declared.

Without some support from the GOP, Hickenlooper’s budget plan is doomed.

The governor seemed glum this week about his options. The alternatives, he said, won’t work.

One would be to ask voters about keeping money that exceeds con-

Capitol

stitutional spending limits. Voters overwhelmingly defeated a 2013 ballot measure backed by Hickenlooper to increase taxes for education.

“If you went and took it to the voters, I think it’s highly possible, let’s just say that, that they’d vote it down,’’ Hickenlooper said.

Another option — issuing bonds to pay for road improvements — wouldn’t likely generate enough money to do the job, Hickenlooper said.

The GOP wants Democrats to consider issuing bonds to pay for road upgrades, a plan Cadman called “a pretty good idea.’’

And the GOP says Democrats are ignoring a cash-hungry elephant in the room — Medicaid spending. They argue that Colorado’s budget woes are being caused by Democrats’ decision to expand Medicaid — some of it as part of the federal health care overhaul, some of it because of changes instituted by Democrats.

Colorado is spending about $2.5 billion this year on the health care plan for the needy, and the governor projects that number to go up another $80 million next year.

“Putting more people onto Medicaid is eating up more and more of the budget,’’ House Republican Leader Brian DelGrosso said.

Both sides said the chilly climate at the Capitol this week doesn’t mean the parties and the governor won’t mend fences. Hickenlooper worked with a divided Legislature when he first took office, and the budget impasse doesn’t mean he’s incapable of working across the aisle, Republicans said.

“We can do this,’’ Cadman said.

in the past, finds consensus at the Capitol, so we cannot only talk about the challenges that face us, but make concrete improvements. In my own bills, I’m hopeful that we’ll act to better serve veterans returning home from the battlefront, alleviate the pain of crippling student loan debt, reduce the error-rate in the criminal justice system, reduce waste and misuse of taxpayers’ money, and more. But beyond the bills that I personally will introduce, I want to use my energy and experience to help good ideas, from wherever they come, to be enacted into law. Election-year political calculations should never overwhelm good policy ideas, and my goal is to make sure they don’t.

Colorado and your district will be best served if the Legislature... ...puts aside partisan bickering and political posturing, and focuses on what we can do at the state government level to make Colorado an even better place to live, work and raise a family.

the 2016 session?

Money! We have big budget challenges in the upcoming fiscal year. While we’re lucky to live in a thriving state with a booming economy, the unique funding requirements in our state constitution make it difficult for us to fully fund efforts to fix our roads or ensure our kids get a world-class education. Our top priority every session is to pass a balanced budget that addresses what Coloradans care about. Although we’re bringing in revenues now, we’re reaching our TABOR limit, so will need to start making cuts as we did during the recession. So Newell to get a budget through, it will be critical to make those funding choices with bipartisan collaboration. Long term, hopefully the citizens will be voting to repeal parts of our fiscal knot in our constitution to fix this for good. We’re now the laughingstock of 49 other states.

Young couple finds home, sweet home Competitive housing market makes search long and difficult

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jessica Leifheit and Peter Hunziker, a newly engaged couple living in an apartment near downtown Denver, started looking for a house more than a year ago.

When they found the perfect one in Highlands Ranch, they were prepared to write a homebuyer’s letter to the seller. They’d done it many times before.

“From the moment we stepped into your house, we felt that this was a home that has been well cared for, meticulously maintained, and a place where we could make a future for ourselves,” they wrote. “We appreciate the thoughtful details of your home …”

The letter, among other factors, helped the couple get their first home under contract, something not easily attained in south metro Denver’s booming real estate market.

As of November, 1,912 single-family homes were listed in Highlands Ranch, according to Denver Metro Association of Realtors. And homes were selling after just 18 days on the market.

Bryan Benham, a RE/MAX Alliance Realtor out of the Denver Tech Center, typically shows his buyers 10 to 20 homes before closing. Most clients send him a list of homes they find on websites, such as realtor.com.

But many of those homes are already under contract, Benham said.

“The market is moving fast,” he said. “And under $450,000 is the market that is really hot right now.”

Leifheit, a high school teacher, and Hunziker, an information technology software engineer, started working with Benham in October after a year of house hunting.

Because she teaches in Castle Rock and he works in Golden, they wanted a place somewhere in the middle.

“It was a difficult process,” Leifheit said. “We saw a lot of properties that went very quickly.”

Hunziker checked the Internet two to three times a day for affordable homes in the South Metro Denver area.

The couple toured about 40 properties. They made two offers last summer but were outranked by other buyers. And they made an offer on a two-bedroom home in Lakewood, but the seller backed out.

“It’s not a normal market,” Hunziker said. “There’s a lot of demand and competition.”

Hunziker looked to a real estate app called Redfin that lets buyers customize a profile and sends notifications when a house that fits the profile is on the market.

The day before Thanksgiving, Hunziker received a notification of a two-bedroom home for $350,000 in Highlands Ranch off Quebec and University. He immedi-

Peter Hunziker and Jessica Leifheit visit Switzerland, where Hunziker is from. The couple was engaged seven months ago and has been house hunting in the south metro Denver area for more than a year. Courtesy photo ately contacted Benham.

The couple had the first showing at 8:30 a.m. Nov. 28.

Throughout the day, the house had 11 showings and five offers.

Hunziker and Leifheit were well aware of the competitive process and knew they had to write a homebuyer’s offer letter.

“Sellers want to see that their home is going to someone nice,” Leifheit said.

In the letter, the couple touched on future plans, employment history and, most importantly, they complimented the seller on the home.

The homebuyer’s letters are often called “love letters” in the real estate business, according to the seller’s Realtor, Fauna MacKillip, of RE/MAX Professionals.

“They were selling themselves to us,” she said. “They did a very good job at doing that. But at the end of the day, it’s business.”

MacKillip had worked with the couple’s Realtor, Benham, on past deals. He had the experience and his contract was straightforward, MacKillip said.

“Agents really appreciate working with other agents who are experienced,” she said. “There was that familiarity with how he does business and how I do business.”

Hunziker and Leifheit are glad the search is over: They are set to close on their new house on Jan. 12.

Hunziker is most excited to have a garage and more room. Leifheit is looking forward to a spacious kitchen, a gas fireplace and a deck that overlooks open space in Highlands Ranch.

“We are ready to just be home,” Leifheit said.

NEWS IN A HURRY Free help for caregivers A 12-week series of Family to Family classes, designed to help the families of individuals with serious mental illness while maintaining their own well-being, begins on Jan. 26, 6:30 to 9 p.m. The course is taught by a team of volunteers from the National Alliance for Mental Health who know what it’s like to have a loved one struggling with a brain disorder. Topics covered include mental illness, medications, side effects, treatments, communication techniques, coping with crisis, community services and more.

Classes are free but advance registration is required. To sign up, visit www.namiadco.org.

Still need to ditch the tree?

South Suburban Parks and Recreation District’s Willow Spring Service Center, 7100 S. Holly St. in Centennial, is accepting Christmas trees from residents of the district until Jan. 17, in the designated enclosure by the front gate.

Most trash and waste removal companies do not accept Christmas trees, so residents are encouraged to take advantage of this free program. All decorations need to be removed from the tree, including lights, ornaments, garland, tinsel and stands. Flocked or artificial trees and yard refuse will not be accepted.

The trees will be mulched and used in landscaping throughout the district and the city of Littleton. Residents can obtain free mulch on weekdays, 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Willow Spring site.

Mulch is available from the City of Littleton year-round at the northwest corner of Prescott Street and Prentice Avenue. Residents are responsible for loading and are encouraged to bring bags or trash cans and a shovel or pitchfork.

For more information, call South Suburban at 303-7218478 or the City of Littleton at 303-795-3863.

Powerball propels outdoor recreation With the Powerball jumping past $1 billion, Arapahoe County reminds the community how much it benefits from the sales.

“While you may be focused on dreaming big for how you would spend those green dollar bills, remember that Colorado Lottery funds support our green spaces,” reads a new release.

Nearly $3 billion from the Powerball has gone to support outdoor recreation in the past 33 years. Only 62 percent of every ticket sale goes to the Powerball jackpot. Check out the breakdown on a $2 Powerball ticket: $1.24 — Powerball Jackpot 14 cents — Colorado Lottery administrative costs 14 cents — retailers that sell lottery tickets 24 cents — Great Outdoors Colorado for state parks, trails and open spaces 19 cents — Conservation Trust Fund for local parks and recreation 5 cents — Colorado Parks and Wildlife Since 1992, when GOCO was created, it has invested more than $21.8 million in Arapahoe County to preserve more than 1,500 acres through 97 grants.

Acting city attorney likes new role

Dugan Comer checks his schedule on his computer.

Comer has been in the Englewood City Attorney’s office since the mid 1990s and was appointed acting city attorney in November.

Third-generation lawyer says he enjoys challenges

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dugan Comer has been Englewood’s city prosecutor, assistant city attorney, and now acting city attorney. And he said each position has its own challenges that require him to focus on different aspects of the law.

“I began working in the Englewood City Attorney’s Office as a part-time prosecutor in the mid-1990s. I felt it was a way to get into the courts and trial law,” he said.

“I enjoyed being the prosecutor for the city. Cases were different, the people I worked with were great, and I felt it was an honor to be able to serve the city and the people of Englewood in that role.”

Assistant City Attorney Nancy Reid retired in February 2015, and Comer then became the assistant city attorney.

“I accepted the position because I felt a change would do me some good,” he said. “It wasn’t a big transition for me to move into the new position. It involved a different aspect of practicing law. The work wasn’t entirely new because I had done tasks other than prosecution for the city over the years, so I felt the transition went very smoothly.”

City Attorney Dan Brotzman submitted his resignation to be effective in January, but the city council accepted the resignation in November and appointed Comer acting city attorney.

“Practicing law is exciting, and I enjoy it,” Comer said.

“Becoming acting city attorney is a learning curve like moving into any other position. At times, the city attorney is asked for opinions on very different issues. It is a lot of work, but if I don’t have the answer immediately, I will find the answer to the questions to make sure I provide the proper legal advice.”

Comer grew up in Arapahoe County and graduated from Cherry Creek High School in 1975. He continued his education at the University of Denver, graduating with a degree in mass communications.

“My grandfather and my father were attorneys, but I

didn’t grow up wanting to be a lawyer,” he said. “When I graduated from DU, for some reason I decided to take the law school entrance exam. I was accepted and started DU law school in 1985. I completed my courses, graduated and, as they say, the rest is history.”

He focused on environmental law and began his career for a consulting firm on cases regarding Superfund sites. When that contract expired, he decided to open his own practice. He rented an office in Englewood and Rick DeWitt, then the city attorney, offered him the position as the city prosecutor.

3700 block of South Broadway. This business had also been the victim of a smash-and-grab burglary. This time, the officers were able to follow the footprints to an apartment complex, where they located and arrested the suspect.

There have been more than 20 smash-and-grab burglaries in the metro area in recent weeks, including nine that occurred in Englewood in the early morning hours of Jan. 3. Two businesses in the RiverPoint Shopping Center in Sheridan were hit a few hours later.

Quincy,” Svigel said. “There is already quite a bit of traffic on Quincy, and I feel these projects will just make driving in the area much more congested.”

Becky Deal, who lives adjacent to the proposed building site, said she was concerned about the impact the project would have on her privacy.

“The duplex proposed would be five feet from my fence, and the people living there can

look down in my backyard,” she said. “I am not in favor of this project, and I suggest you find a different location for your project.”

The neighborhood meeting is part of the process a developer is required to conduct when proposing a planned unit development.

Audria Kirk, a community development department planner, said the developer submitted final plans for the project on Jan. 5.

“A public hearing on the Quincy project is scheduled (as) part of the planning and zoning commission meeting on Feb. 2,” she said. “The commission will forward the request to city council with its recommendations, and the plan is to ask the city council to set a public hearing on the proposal as part of the March 21 meeting.”

Dr. Kim Neyman’s 30 Second Lesion Consultation Dr. Kimberly Neyman * Does the lesion have asymmetry (one half of the lesion does not match the other)? * Does the lesion have uneven edges or jagged borders? * Is the lesion more than one color (i.e. brown/black, blue/black, etc.)? * Is the lesion larger than 6 millimeters or the size of a pencil eraser? * Has the lesion become larger, changed shape or color over the past year?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, the lesion should be evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist. Monthly skin self-examinations and regular skin checks by a dermatologist are essential for the early detection of skin cancer.

Arapahoe County reaches out

The lateVictorian house at 5736 S. Bemis St. has been designated a Littleton Historic Landmark by the Historic Preservation Board and the City Council.

Residents’ feedback sought via telephone Staff report

Victorian home receives landmark status Littleton dwelling offers charm in Sterne Park

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Late Victorian, single domestic dwelling.” The charming little home at 5736 S. Bemis St. in Littleton’s Sterne Park neighborhood is 108 years old and has begun a new life, while it keeps some of its past a secret. It was unanimously designated by the City Council on Jan. 5 as Littleton’s most recent landmark following the recommendation of the councilappointed Historic Preservation Board, which conducted a public hearing on Nov. 16.

It is owned by Paula Quinney, who told the council that the house and its restoration were a labor of love for her late husband, James. He was a craftsman who was described in an audio message from

his daughter, Heather Rowe, as spending “a large part of his life restoring old homes.

It was his passion — the house on Bemis is no exception,” she said. When he died last spring, he transferred that passion to friends and family. “I wanted this home to be a legacy to the history of Littleton and a legacy to him also,” she concluded.

At the preservation board’s Nov. 16 meeting, planner Dennis Swaim told members: “It was built in 1908, according to assessor’s records — but we don’t know who built it … (nor are there records of who lived in it). It is just up the street from the Edwin A. Bemis House, also a landmark. It shows in a survey from the 1930s, 1940s. It has had extensive renovations, a brave effort and is in great shape as to windows, siding … Bemis was called Santa Fe when it was built ... It is unique in terms of size and age and typical of the majority of people who lived in the city then … It retains historic quality and integrity.”

The Quinneys closed on the house Oct. 4, 2013, moved in on Memorial Day 2014

and kept working on it. Library research suggested the name “railroad house,” plus two others like it. Perhaps home to railroad workers? The first existing photo is dated 2000.

“The interior is completely restored,” Paula Quinney told the board. “The trim is original and side windows are original.”

The board agreed to consider strategy for future landmarking, since a number of homes in Littleton are eligible. (The request has to come from the owner.)

At the council hearing, Jean Ericson of District 1 spoke in favor of the designation, stating that Littleton has designated only 27 homes in 36 years. Pam Chadbourne, also a District 1 resident, spoke in support, mentioning that “Loveland has about 200 designated historic homes.”

Planner Pam Hall stated that staff recommended designation and that the house met five necessary criteria. The council approved the designation unanimously.

After a 2014 Arapahoe County survey of its residents revealed that fewer than half felt they had easy access to the ears of the county commissioners, the county is launching a series of “Telephone Town Halls” this month.

“We are offering this service to make it easier for citizens to reach us and to engage in their county government,” said Commissioner Nancy Sharpe. “We’ve heard your feedback, and now we want to offer innovative, easy ways in which to connect with Arapahoe County.”

The first meeting was set for 7 p.m. on Jan. 14. All residents of unincorporated Arapahoe County have to do to participate is answer the phone, because an automated system calls every number in those areas.

But anyone can participate by making a free call to 1-888-409-5380.

Meetings last one hour and will are general in nature, so participants can introduce any topic. They will hear a brief introduction from a commissioner, who will then answer questions from anyone who wants to ask one.

The meetings are a goal in Align Arapahoe, the county’s strategy and performance framework. It was implemented in 2009 and is helping Arapahoe County government to make better program, service and budget decisions.

Making change can suit you to a ‘T’ This is the most popular time of the year when people will attempt to make a change in their lives. Some will set out determined to make a significant change or turnaround in their lives, maybe even kick a habit they have been battling with for many years.

Others will still have change on their minds, however, they may be looking to make more subtle changes and adjustments as opposed to radical transformations. And maybe some people are happy just where they are at this time of life.

If you are one of the folks setting out to make a change in your life as we enter the New Year, think about the three T’s of change: Time, Tenacity and Teamwork.

The understanding of time in its relation to change is often overlooked. There seems to be an expectation that just because there is a desire for change or transformation, the change will happen quickly. If the habit we wish to break or the pattern we wish to disrupt took many years to develop, the chances are that it will take a significant amount of time to get back to where we want to be. Now, do not let that reality scare you from making the changes that you want to see for yourself. Just develop an appre-

ciation of the time and patience it will take to realize success.

Change comes easy for some, and for others it is quite difficult.

Not only do we need to exercise patience and how much time it could take to reach our change goals, it also requires tenacity. SetMichael Norton ting a plan and doing whatever it takes each WINNING and every day to stick WORDS to the plan. Becoming tenacious in our efforts, in our sacrifices, and in our resolve to achieve the successful change we want to see in our own lives.

Time. Tenacity.

Lastly, the third T has to do with teamwork. Why go it alone? There are coaches, friends, trainers, family members, peer groups and so many other available resources that can help us achieve the change we want to see in our lives, and they can possibly even help expedite the process. Align

yourself with a good accountability partner, find others who are trying to achieve the same thing that you are striving to achieve.

Meet daily, whether in person or via text or email. Create some communication vehicle that works with everyone’s schedule and then share what’s working and what’s not.

Share lessons learned and best practices.

Teamwork goes a long way and is so important as we attempt to make a successful change in our life.

Time. Tenacity. Teamwork.

How about you? Are you looking to make a change this year? Is it a big change or just maybe a small adjustment? Either way, I would love to hear all about how you are doing it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And as we understand the time it takes to make a change, attack our plan with tenacity, and surround ourselves with the right team members who can drive and support us, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Not everyone questions their faith Re: “A question of faith”; Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 editions Thank you for your in-depth look at this important topic. The article did a thorough job of exploring one aspect of the evolving faith life in our society; in places, it painted with an overly broad brush, I feel.

Liam Michael seems like an intelligent, articulate young man. And if atheism is right for him, that’s great. I respect his choice for his life. What I do not respect is his telling me that organized religion is not necessary, even a bad idea. For him, perhaps. But not for me, nor for over about 200 million other Americans, not to mention billions of others across our planet.

He refers to “the bad reputation of most religions.” Really? Perhaps that’s his view, and I respect his right to express his views. But as his feelings, not as fact.

You also called upon John Robert Kinsey, a lecturer at CU, who takes harsh shots at Kim Davis and Hobby Lobby. Apparently Mr. Kinsey is one of the growing number of people on our college campuses who disrespect anyone who doesn’t believe what they believe. Sad. Another of your sources, Karen Silver-

Email letters to letters@coloradocommunitymedia.com

man, states that, “Families also place much less importance on religious education... .” It sounds like she’s referring to all families.

Not mine, nor many others I know. Again, a sweeping statement she applied to everyone, when in fact it doesn’t apply to everyone.

A fourth source, Amy Scott Grant, says, “Young people don’t want to be told what God is or isn’t.” It sounds like she’s referring to all young people. Again, a false statement. She goes on, “... traditional religions hold views about God that feel archaic and untouchable to young people.” All young people? Really? I know for a fact that is not the case.

While I appreciate the story, I do not appreciate the one-sided nature of it, and the statements of fact when what these sources are really doing is expressing their feelings, and the broad-strokes accusations made. I respect each of these people and their right to believe — or not believe — what they choose, and what works for them, as well as their right to express their views. My religion teaches me that. But don’t position those feelings as fact, and don’t apply them to everyone. It simply isn’t true.

• • • I am hoping that you will now have an article in your newspaper by someone who believes in God. You state that 35 percent of Millennials are religiously unaffiliated. What about the other 65 percent? I am sure that most of them would not agree with this slanted article.

Do you know what the world would be like without organized religion? Churches and those affiliated with them spend millions of hours and millions of dollars throughout the world doing good. Whenever there is a disaster, it is church groups that are the first ones there to help.

I think that diversity and tolerance are wonderful but do not think that religion and a belief in God should be discounted. Many of the problems that we are having in this world are due to the fact that religion is being forced out of our schools and our country. We need to take a step back and realize what we are losing when we “do not think that a belief in God is even a good idea.”

Warning: Everyday life may cause irritation What’s the matter?

Your car didn’t come with turn signals?

Tailgating is a contributing factor in over 600 million automobile accidents each year.

Anyone who hits the head of an aisle seat passenger with their carry-on bag will experience irritable vowel syndrome within 48 hours. Or should.

Anyone who is on the phone during checkout is a rude bag of dead fish-smelling garbage.

Maybe you have noticed: I am getting a few things off my chest.

Hand talkers should be sent to Sing Sing.

(Channel 4 News has a doozy.)

Anyone who chews gum with an open mouth should be sent to a Brighton farm to watch some cows.

Dogs are supposed to be on leashes in this community.

Are they? Not always.

Owners are supposed to pick up after their dogs in this community.

Do they? Not always.

Those who don’t, let’s see?

I still think irritable vowels.

Why don’t you pay better attention to those around you in a grocery store?

“I think I’m alone now.

There doesn’t seem to be anyone around.”

Hey. And your kids. A grocery store is not a birthday party.

I just received a gift.

My friend Craig Marshall Smith made a small QUIET mistake.

She asked DESPERATION the employee to pack and ship the package to me.

The employee sent the wrong bowls, a box of jumbled chocolates, and something else.

Her half-used tin of Smith’s Rosebud Salve.

By the way, without making any claims or aspersions, the package came from Wyoming.

Waiters and waitresses who introduce themselves should be cuffed, dragged out and tied to a chair in a screening room.

What’s showing? A documentary.

Nancy Grace’s biography.

Half of the time half of us are completely unaware that what we do and don’t do can be an irritant to someone else.

Park. Lock. Honk.

Park. Lock. Honk.

A decibel is defined as “Ten times the logarithm of the power ratio.”

Right.

A car horn is 100 decibels. That’s just 10 decibels under “deafening.”

Instead? Park. Lock. Walk away.

Park. Lock. Walk away.

Do you need pretty sideline reporters?

I don’t need pretty sideline reporters.

I resent the “w” in “answer,” that’s how deep my concerns are.

George R.R. Martin, who writes “Game of Thrones,” missed the deadline for the sixth book. I am aching inside. Or maybe not.

Perhaps you thought “irritable vowels” was a typo. It wasn’t.

It would be irresponsible of me to wish irritable bowel syndrome on someone. It’s not funny.

But the word “bowel” is funny. You can’t get around that.

“Irritable Bowels” sounds like the name of a band. It probably is.

Irritable bowel syndrome affects between 25 and 45 million people in the United States, and most of them are female.

Discomfort can include severe debilitation.

On the other hand, irritable vowel syndrome means you can’t remember if it’s “I before E except after C” or “E before I except after C.” Not only that, you can’t remember the correct order of the vowels in “Old MacDonald Had a Farm.”

You will embarrass your children when you sing the song to them, a suitable punishment, I think, for hitting me on the head with your carry-on.

There are a lot of things that get me by the fetlocks and twist my disposition.

Many of them are unmentionable here.

Life is an artful balance of taking the good with the bad.

If the bad is winning, I just listen to the Everly Brothers, and it’s a beautiful day.

Market volatility not going anywhere soon Every financial market has recently experienced significant volatility. This includes the fixed income market such as bonds, the foreign markets, whether developed or emerging, and the U.S. markets regardless of large or small companies. But just wait … earnings season is just around the corner.

Now that the final numbers for 2015 are in, investors can exhale. The 12 percent market correction from the fall triggered

by China’s slower growth and the drop in oil that triggered another round of market swings in November did not hold out before the year closed. Domestic and developed world indexes, and well-balanced accounts, were down less than 2.5 percent with the exception of emerging markets.

Enter 2016 and a renewed focus on geopolitical issues. This started in late 2015 with the Middle East, most recently Saudi Arabia and Iran. In early January, North Korea was again flexing its military strength with the claim to a successful hydrogen bomb test. This appeared to put more pressure on all negative indicators, pushing worldwide markets lower.

This increased volatility comes on the heels of the Federal Reserve Board raising interest rates for the first time in nine years. While most analysts do not think that action alone would have driven markets significantly lower, the consumer fears that the Fed is tightening while the rest of the world is easing continues to push the dollar higher and stress trade balances.

Generally speaking, no one is happy.

Earnings season will likely continue on the path of deteriorating profit reports for America’s blue chip companies.

This decline started during third quarter reports in 2015 and continued Patricia Kummer through year FINANCIAL end. January is STRATEGIES an important earnings season in that many companies will also provide the 2016 outlook. It may be difficult to muster up some good news when trading partners are teetering on recession and manufacturing and commodities production worldwide is declining.

The bright spot seems to be employment, which continues to improve, along with some select sectors such as health care. While every cloud may have a silver lining, it may be hard to determine at this point when that will appear. Investors should remember that in fact, the opportunities do always appear, and usually when least expected.

Therefore, make certain you are minimizing expenses and debt and increase savings and investments while prices are low. This can pad your long-term objectives significantly over time. Keep those

Grieving online is becoming more common in technology-driven world

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com

J

ulian Lujan died after accidentally falling from a cliff last June soon after graduating from Colorado State University.

His older sister, Christina, used social media to spread word of her family’s tragedy.

“It was the best method for us to, unfortunately, convey what had happened,” she said. “It was a way for us to tell everyone rather than having to tell people one by one.”

More and more, social media is becoming an outlet to not only do just that — communicate what has happened in a simple, immediate way — but also a forum in which to express grief and impart comfort during times of tragedy and sorrow.

Social media provides a digital community that allows users to share stories and positive wishes during the grieving process, which can often help those affected carry the burden of loss, said Kim Gorgens, associate professor of clinical psychology at University of Denver.

“Grieving rituals have always been about exaggerating a sense of community at that period of time,” she said. “Anything that makes that more accessible and available on a larger scale can be a very good thing.”

It’s not surprising that social media has evolved as a grieving platform, considering that 72 percent of American adults use Facebook and 69 percent of those users regularly see news about people and events in their communities on the site, according to Pew Research Center.

Sharing memories, extending support Julia Kapustka, who met Lujan while attending Colorado State University, described the Highlands Ranch resident as one of the best people she’d ever met. She found out about his death, which occurred at a Larimer County reservoir, from a status on Facebook.

After Kapustka let the sudden loss of her friend sink in, she, too, posted a status.

“Still in shock over the loss of such a wonderful person,” she wrote. “William J. Lujan I will remember you forever and am so thankful for every minute that I knew you and got to spend with you, rest in peace.”

She immediately received phone calls from friends and classmates who wanted to know what had happened to him.

Then, they, too, posted comments.

Lujan’s profile was filled with hundreds of messages, photos and videos following his

death, Kapustka said.

“They were sharing the memories they shared with him,” she said. “And those posts are permanent — something people can always see.”

A similar instance of grieving and remembering occurred on Facebook in the recent death of addictions counselor John

Alan Rutter, 55, who died in a Jan. 2 fire that left an Arvada commercial building in ruins. Even before the worst was confirmed — that Rutter had not made it out of the building in time — friends, clients and coworkers posted remembrances of the man on Facebook. The same spreading of comfort and memories happened in the

deaths of Nicole Weber, a Highlands Rancharea graduate attending the University of Colorado-Boulder, who died in a December traffic accident, and Colin Brough, a Castle Rock resident shot and killed at Northern Arizona University in October.

Grieving Continued from Page 10

someone who has died turns into a memorial page, according to Psychology Today magazine. Even though that person is gone, a virtual identity exists, which combined with the remembrances and grief felt by others can help those left behind cope with loss, experts in the psychology field say.

It has helped Lujan’s sister, Christina, who felt astronomical support from friends, family and her community after her brother’s death.

“The amount of messages we received in the aftermath,” she said. “And to see the memories through writing and pictures that we didn’t even know existed.”

Creating a sense of community After the Arapahoe High School shooting in 2013, social media became a way for the community to come together in a time of darkness.

Anna Sutterer, now a sophomore at the University of Missouri, was a senior at Arapahoe when a student killed another student, then himself, on school grounds.

Julia Kapustka, 22, of Fort Collins, found out about the death of close friend William Julian Lujan from a Facebook post. And in response, she posted her condolences. Screen captures taken from Twitter Sutterer was hiding with 25 other students in the corner of her AP Lit class when she heard gunshots ring through the school. After the shooting, she was taken to a nearby church before returning home.

That evening, Sutterer saw a flood of posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter about the shooting. Some students were expressing their post-traumatic stress while others were blogging updates.

“Someone posted about a candlelight vigil on Facebook,” she remembered.

Fellow students organized the candlelight vigil, which took place a day later and drew hundreds of members from the community. Facebook and Twitter helped spread the word.

But the social media onslaught of information and grieving eventually overloaded Sutterer. She stopped checking social me-

dia sites because the posts kept the incident fresh in her mind, she said.

“I couldn’t look at Instagram for a few days because it was just overwhelming,” she said. “I needed to see other things.”

Sutterer held off on posting on social media so she could let everything sink in. In the initial shock period following a tragedy, such as a school shooting, it’s difficult to comprehend what’s going on, she said.

“I understand that people want to be a part of spreading a message,” she said. “But I like to wait and really think about what happened and how it affected me.”

Seeing repeated posts about tragedy can become tiresome for social media users, Gorgens said. It may result in compassion fatigue — an exaggerated stress response or, oppositely, a lack of emotional response.

“The magnitude of your grief response is limited by how many times you have to use it,” she said.

But that’s not the case for every tragedy.

For Christina Lujan, social media allowed friends and family, near and far — even some people she didn’t know — to come together to share their sorrow, offer comfort and support each other.

“Ultimately, they were expressing their condolences,” she said. “It was all done out of a caring place.”

Ignite Theatre delivers a high-energy, high volume show, a regional premiere at the Aurora Fox, based on the band Green Day’s extremely popular 2004 album, “American Idiot,” plus songs from a later release, “21st Century Breakdown.”

Broadway director Michael Mayer heard the album, described as a response to the post-9/11 era, and approached the band and leader Billie Joe Armstrong with the idea of creating a stage musical. (Mayer had recently directed the successful “Spring Awakening.”)

Runs 90 Isherwood described “a minutes with no interglorious 20-minute temmission. per tantrum” at the beginning, set in a dive club, staged here with the same papered walls of colorless posters and three blinking TV sets across the back. This cast delivers, with strobe lights and smoke.

Three disaffected young suburban types leave home and head for the city, where they have different experiences, framed by drugs, sex and rock ‘n’ roll and songs by leads Johnny, Tunny and Will and a cast of assorted city types.

Will (Caleb Reed) is sidelined early as his girlfriend Heather (McKenna Raquel Seckman) becomes pregnant and he mostly sits on a sofa, stoned and drunk throughout, while Tunny (Brandon Jay Lopez) is inspired by military recruiters to enlist and is sent to Iraq, where his leg is injured. He meets a nurse, Extraordinary Girl, who heals him and loves him.

Johnny (a talented Brandon Robertson) spots Whatsername (the excellent Ignite regular Lindsey Falduto) in a second-story window and steamy romance takes over until drugs exert a stronger pull. Here, we meet floating, androgynous drug dealer St. Jimmy, who is portrayed by Valerie Igoe.

Nothing subtle here in terms of melody or character development, as is often the case with classical opera, but one is engaged through the 90 minutes, which seem to move fast.

Some will find the language offensive and those overly sensitive to lights and loud sound should seek alternate entertainment. (I was saddened to see a very distressed young child leaving in tears.)

Focusing a job search on industries that have shown strong growth and the ability to ride out waves of economic turmoil can tip the odds in your favor. Certain industries have better long-term employment outlooks than others, and men and women looking for more stability should consider these industries when pondering their next career moves.

Computer Systems Computer systems analysts and programming experts are highly coveted in today’s digital world. Many company operations are completely overseen by relatively autonomous computer systems. As technology keeps changing, employees who are able to stay abreast of the changes will only grow more valuable.

Builders With more money injected into the economy, homes and businesses can once again resume growth. Laborers with skills in construction, masonry and residential building, and structure contractors can count on steady employment.

Accounting Thanks to ever-changing financial policies and greater scrutiny placed on lending practices and bookkeeping, accounting jobs remain solid career choices. Jobs in accounting can range from entry-level to more advanced (and more lucrative) positions requiring certification or a secondary education.

Medicine Financial health does not safeguard people against illness, and health services are needed regardless of the state of the economy. That makes medical careers some of the most coveted and stable around. Healthcare professions can be lucrative, and careers in medicine are not restricted to doctors or nurses. Clinicians, medical

Environment Clean-energy and other environmental jobs may currently make up a small percentage of employment, but reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate jobs in this sector are growing much faster than other fields, including healthcare. Workers ready to get in on the ground level may benefit from opportunities for advancement and the stability of working in a field that figures to grow considerably over the next several decades. Green jobs include work that is primarily involved in the production of green goods and services, such as renewable energy, pollution reduction and recycling. Green jobs also are those that involve education and training related to environmental compliance.

Entering the job market for the first time or reentering it with a new career direction can be intimidating.

Focusing education and skills on careers that are proven winners can be the security and confidence boost professionals need.

Parker’s Nancy Begley stars in ‘Mary Poppins’ Musical comes to PACE Center stage Jan. 15-31

Top to bottom: Nancy Evans Begley plays Mary Poppins; Levi Hirsch is Michael Banks, Regan Fenske is Jane Banks anf Arthur Buetel is Bert, the Chimneysweep in PACE Center’s production of “Mary Poppins.” Courtesy photo

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Nancy Begley was familiar with the P.L. Travers book and with the movie, but of her lead role in PACE Center’s Jan. 15-31 production of “Mary Poppins” she said, “It’s a dream I didn’t know I had — it’s really exciting. Two months prior to the auditions, I knew I wanted to play the role, and spent lots of time with the Disney Studio study guides. They included information on dialogues and accents. I learned about 90 percent. I grew up as a dancer so standing in first position (as in ballet) is not a stretch.”

The posture, accent and no-nonsense behavior were easy to manage. “Like Mary, I have a lot of very specific views about how kids should be, about how families should be… We rehearse at the Parker Mainstreet Center. It’s fun being part of my community.” She has lived in Parker for eight years and is a Colorado native.

Begley graduated from Metropolitan State University with a BFA in musical theatre and has been recognized by the Denver Lyric Opera Guild, Rocky Mountain Theatre Association and Broadway World, and she has played in a number of musicals — most recently as Anita in “West Side Story.”

She is a vice president at a metro-area bank by day. “I come from a financial family,” she said (it pleases her that Mr. Banks,

the father in the play, is a banker).

On a personal note, she said, “I graduated in 2008 at 250 pounds and with my weight-loss journey, these kinds of roles are now possible for me.”

Readers may recall that Mary Poppins arrives at the Banks’ home, 17 Cherry Street Lane, London, by flying with her parrot-

handled umbrella. That entailed some flying lessons at the CU Opera Shop, Begley said. Bert has to fly too, and he has to go upside down. A harness has been custom made for each of them. “I’d trust them with my life,” Begley said of the technicians.

“Mary Poppins” is a collaboration between PACE Center and Inspire Cre-

ative Theatre Company. Gary Lewis is the show’s director and has said that Begley is “an incredibly talented artist.” During the three-hour show, the audience can expect well-known songs such as “Spoonful of Sugar” and “Let’s Go Fly a Kite,” as well as the familiar chimney sweep dance sequence.

Begley said that Levi Hirsch (Michael Banks) and Regan Fenske (Jane Banks) “are the best child performers I’ve ever worked with.” Mary and the kids will be in the lobby after the show to interact with kids in the audience, she said.

“Performing brings me joy — being part of something so magical … and seeing joy on faces of kids in the audience,” Begley said.

Metro Creative Connection Though consumers no doubt understand how buying from local merchants can benefit those merchants, few may grasp just how beneficial buying local can be to their entire communities.

In 2012, Civic Economics, an economic analysis and strategic planning firm, analyzed data from 15 independent retailers and seven independent restaurants, all located in Salt Lake City, comparing those businesses’ local economic impact with four national retailer chains and three national restaurant chains.

The study found that the local retailers returned 52 percent of their revenue to the local econ-

omy, a figure that dwarfed the revenue returned by the national chains, which returned just 14 percent of revenue to the local economy. Restaurants provided an even bigger boost to local economies, returning 79 percent of their revenue compared to just 30 percent for the national chain restaurants. The reasons for these disparities include local businesses spending more on local labor and relying more heavily on local service providers. So while buying local may be more convenient and eco-friendly, it also can greatly benefit local economies.

Wrestlers sport all the right moves Prep athletes combine new techniques with classic moves

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com High school wrestlers have become stronger and more technically advanced over the years.

“Wrestling is evolving all the time,” said Pomona coach Sam Federico, citing an increase in club and year-round participation.

Still, the basic moves from yesteryear remain the foundation of the sport.

Ponderosa coach Corey McNellis, a former two-time Colorado state champion wrestler, said you will see many of the same moves in matches today as years ago.

“In wrestling, long story short, it’s the same,” he said.

McNellis can list myriad tried-andtrue moves. For example, there is the high C, which stands for high crotch, in which the wrestler reaches the inside of one of the opponent’s legs, and with knees bent low and head up, finds himself in a good

position to earn takedown points.

Legacy coach Mike Thompson also agrees the best moves are the old ones, but said the setups have changed.

“I’ve been around wrestling since the ’70s and the best techniques are the ones that date back to the ’70s,” he said. “The biggest changes I’ve seen are the type of setups being used and the type of chain wrestling (method of linking offensive moves and counters together) being used and the scramble situations created by the chain wrestling.

“Some of that is due to the rules changes, and the positioning of a wrestler has changed a little bit, which creates a little bit more scrambling, but the actual move that is initiated is still the basic single, double, cradle and stuff like that.

How it is set up and finished are some of the changes that have come in, which has also created some scramble situations and more need for chain wrestling.”

Chaparral coach Rod Padilla often spends practice sessions drilling his wrestlers on moves, counter moves and instruction on how to work out of situations, which is important once a wrestler is in a match and all it takes is a quick

suggestion to start a new move.

While the basics haven’t changed, wrestlers are influenced to try new things.

“There will be waves of going to a different move that is more popular,” McNellis said. “Usually it has to do with if there is a popular Olympic wrestler who does something really well. Jordan Burroughs is right now the best in the world at the blast double. I’ve seen that trickle down. I’ve seen a lot of kids now hitting a blast double more than, say, a single or something like that.”

The blast double is a powerful takedown that looks a lot like a tackle in football, where the wrestler grabs both legs of the opponent and forces or tackles him to the mat.

Wrestling still comes down to mental and physical toughness and executing your best and favorite moves.

Mosha Schwartz, a 106-pounder from Ponderosa, knows what he likes.

“I like to go low singles and fireman’s maybe,” said Swartz, referring to the single-leg takedown and fireman’s carry moves. “It all depends on how guys are reacting to my moves.”

Change for the better Englewood High School graduate Bob McCaslin has been a referee for 46 years and said high school wrestling has changed for the better, especially considering the health of wrestlers.

“It’s more about keeping the kids safe more than it was in the old days,” he said. “It was more Greco-Roman, a more brutal sport where you had to finish and win. Kids wouldn’t eat for a week to make weight. If I walk into a gym as an official and I see something wrong I can disqualify a wrestler, because you are not allowed to cut weight like they used to.”

Injury timeouts have been a big improvement.

“You shouldn’t punish a kid for being a diabetic or you shouldn’t punish a kid for asthma,” McCaslin said. “If you couldn’t breathe you would have to leave the mat, now they give you injury time to take care of those kind of situations. You couldn’t take medication like a diabetic to get some sugar in him or an asthmatic to use one of those inhalers. That was never allowed and I could never understand it.”

— Jim Benton

A GRASP OF THE BASICS There are many moves that sometimes go by different names that are used by wrestlers to create takedowns or pin opponents. Listed is a basic description of some of the top moves obtained from a variety of sources.

Single-leg takedown — From the neutral position, a wrestler uses a quick aggressive shot to the closest leg of the opponent, wrapping his or her arms around the leg while locking hands together.

Double-leg takedown — Similar to the single-leg takedown while standing. The wrestler grabs both legs of the opponent and locks his or her hands. Grabbing both legs gives the advantage of being able to drive or slam the opponent.

High C — A move similar to the doubleleg takedown, but the wrestler reaches the inside of one of the opponent’s legs and, with knees bent low and with the head up, the wrestler finds himself in a good position to earn takedown points.

Half-nelson — This move is good for executing a pin. One arm is slipped under the opponent’s armpit with the hand wrapped around the back of his neck.

The free hand holds the opponent’s

other hand so the half-nelson can’t be broken.

Ankle pick — Quick hands can get the opponent on the mat with this low-risk move. With one hand on the opponent’s neck, the move in the reaction of the hands forces the opponent to step with the other leg. That’s when the ankle of the opposing wrestler can be grabbed with the free hand to put the opposition off balance.

Fireman’s carry — This is another good takedown from the up position which requires both strength and quickness, where the wrestler crouches on one knee and picks up the opponent and tilts him or her over the shoulder.

Leg sweep — This move can take the opponent to the mat hard. Basically a wrestler has his arms inside the opponent’s arms and uses his or her own legs to cause the opponent to fall. This is also used for the leg trap movement.

Sprawl — When facing an opponent who loves to shoot, sprawling helps prevent takedowns by scooting legs back away from the opponent’s reach.

Granby — This reversal from the bottom can prevent a loss or create a win.

The bottom wrestler straightens up slightly, cross steps under the body and perform a roll to the inside shoulder.

Cradle — All the opponent can do is struggle with his hands. The wrestler grabs the opponent’s neck with one arm and wraps

his or her elbow behind the opponent’s knee while locking both hands together.

Bump to tight-waist — This is good to control the opponent from the top position. With arm tight around the waist, the wrestler blocks the front arm near the elbow with his or her arm and eventually breaks down the opponent.

Arm drag — With the opposing arm, the wrestler grabs the opponent’s wrist and hooks the other arm from the neutral position, and with a shoveling move pushes the opponent’s arm to the mat.

Gazzoni — This is an escape move from the referee’s bottom position where the wrestler kicks his feet out, pushes back and comes to his or her feet while grabbing the opponent’s lower hand.

Blast double — This powerful takedown looks like a football tackle, in which the wrestler grabs both legs of the opponent and forces or tackles him to the mat.

Athletes find rewards off the court Chaparral senior Rachel Nelson has been on a mission. Make that a couple missions.

Besides pursuing 3-point field goal records at Chaparral, Nelson and her twin sister/basketball teammate Erin went to Turkana, Kenya, on a mission last summer with older sister Bri. The three plan to go back again this summer on another

trip with the Front Range Christian Church of Castle Rock to hopefully make a difference.

Instead of heading or dreaming to travel to a beach somewhere in the summer like many other teenagers, the Nelsons opted to head to the semi-arid climate with Nilotic people who raise camels and weave baskets. They dribbled basketballs,

kicked and played with soccer and volleyballs, dabbled in construction, helped with student instruction and did hut-to-hut evangelism.

“I just see how much we have here and just being in that village, they had nothing,” said Erin. “For those kids that never had anything we could see the joy on their face.

It was something simple that could

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JAN. 11, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your batteries should be fully recharged by now, making you more than eager to get back into the swing of things full time. Try to stay focused so that you don’t dissipate your energies.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re eager to charge straight ahead into your new responsibilities. But you’ll have to paw the ground a little longer, until a surprise complication is worked out.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Rival factions are pressuring you to take a stand favoring one side or the other. But this isn’t the time to play judge. Bow out as gracefully as possible, without committing yourself to any position.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Reassure a longtime, trusted confidante that you appreciate his or her words of advice. But at this time, you need to act on what you perceive to be your own sense of self-interest.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You need to let your warm Leonine heart fire up that new relationship if you hope to see it move from the “just friends” level to one that will be as romantic as you could hope for.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) There’s still time to repair a misunderstanding with an honest explanation and a heartfelt apology.

The sooner you do, the sooner you can get on with other matters.

Englewood girls win in battle of Pirates Team rides big fourth quarter to victory over Alameda

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

They said it “It was a physical game tonight, but that is pretty much the style we see throughout the league,” the coach said. “Tonight is a confidence builder for our team. We handled the physical play and got the win.

It gives us two league wins now as we have momentum, and we feel we can go toe-totoe with any team in our league.”

Englewood’s Molly Ostrowski was smiling after the game.

“It was a physical game and it got pretty rough out there tonight,” the junior said. “I started off slowly as we all did. Then we got it together late in the game to score points.”

Key moments Tough defense by both teams, plus the fact that shooting for both teams was as cold as the weather, made for a close, lowscoring game.

Alameda led 11-7 at the end of the first period on the strength of a couple of threepointers near the end of the period. Englewood responded and took the lead at 14-11 with 3:10 left in the second quarter, and led 19-13 going into the final period. That

performance Jan. 5 against the Far Northeast Warriors. Erin assisted on Rachel’s record-setting 3-point effort against the Warriors, which added to the 49 treys she made last year to set a Chap season record.

“Definitely hitting a 3-pointer is amazing, but being over there changes your life,” said Rachel. “It’s something that is so much more rewarding than hitting a 3-pointer.”

Arvada West senior standing tall Arvada West senior center Dallas Walton is standing out again this year.

Sure, he’s 7 feet and 225 pounds, but he’s also averaging 16.1 points and 11 rebounds a game through the first nine games after transferring from Ralston Valley. He had two knee surgeries and didn’t play basketball the past two seasons after playing for Ralston Valley as a freshman.

Walton is tied for third among Class 5A rebounders. Stop for a moment to consider Ralston Valley’s front line if he would of remained a Mustang. The leading 5A rebounder in the state is 6-11 Ralston Valley senior Antonio Capley, who is pulling down 11.7 rebounds a game.

MaxPreps selects Valor quarterback Valor Christian quarterback Dylan McCaffrey, the Colorado Community Media South Metro Offensive Player of the Year, was named to the MaxPreps Junior AllAmerican first-team football squad. His position on the team is listed as “athlete.”

McCaffrey, a junior and brother of Stanford Heisman runner-up Christian, passed for 2,800 yards in leading the Eagles to the Class 5A championship and accounted for 3,475 all-purpose yards.

Two Pirates teams clad in blue and white met on the court Jan. 8, but Englewood’s Pirates emerged victorious over Alameda’s in a game that was close through three quarters. Englewood outscored Alameda 17-7 in the final quarter to win the game 36-20.

“This was a great win for us, but any win at home over a league opponent is a great win,” Englewood coach Thomas Rode said.

“We got off to a slow start, but that is sort of a trademark of this team this season.”

Misc. Private Legals Public Notice DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO DECEMBER 2015 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are notified that the following is a resume of all water right applications and certain amendments filed in the Office of the Water Clerk during the month of DECEMBER 2015 for each County affected.

15CW3180 The City of Englewood, c/o City of Englewood, Attn: Tom Brennan, Utilities Manager, 1000 Englewood Parkway, Englewood, CO 80110, 303-762-2636; Attorneys: Peter D. Nichols, Leah K. Martinsson, Katherine A.D. Ryan, BERG HILL GREENLEAF RUSCITTI LLP, 1712 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302 Phone No: (303) 402-1600 APPLICATION FOR WATER RIGHTS IN ARAPAHOE COUNTY, COLORADO 2.

Overview of Application: Applicant seeks a conditional surface water right that will allow for the diversion of 5 c.f.s. from Big Dry Creek at a point just above the confluence of Big Dry Creek and the South Platte River. Diverted water will be placed into a pipeline that generally parallels the South Platte River for a distance of approximately 1,000 feet and will be run through an ultra-low head hydropower feature located within Englewood’s Union Avenue Raw Water Intake Facility. Power generated from this feature will be used to provide security lighting at the Union Avenue Raw Water Intake Facility. This may include use for the lighting of a planned public bike path that will run through the Union Avenue property along the South Platte River. This hydropower generation use will be non-consumptive and all diverted water will be discharged back into the South Platte River at an outfall located just downstream of Englewood’s Union Avenue intake structure. The stream reach between the point of diversion and point of return is a distance of approximately 1,000 feet. There are no intervening water rights located in the stream reach between the point of diversion on Big Dry Creek and the point of return to the South Platte River. In addition to non-consumptive hydropower generation, the requested water right may be used to provide an emergency municipal water supply for Englewood. Currently, Englewood relies almost exclusively on municipal water rights diverted from the South Platte River. This new water right will be capable of being delivered into the Union Avenue Raw Water Intake Facility through an emergency interconnect to be used as an emergency municipal water supply during those times when the quality of the water in the South Platte River is not of a quality suitable for treatment, such as in the event of a hazardous waste release to the South Platte River. Hazardous spill events in the South Platte have occurred in the past above the Union Avenue intake and this diversion would provide a means to avoid water supply interruptions associated with such events. Water diverted for these emergency municipal supply purposes would be treated and delivered to Englewood’s customers through Englewood’s water distribution system. 3. Name of Structure: Big Dry Creek Hydropower Diversion A. Legal Description: 1) Point of Diversion: A point on the northern bank of Big Dry Creek located at NAD83UTM Zone 13N, Easting 498784.891 Northing 4386738.496 METERS. 2) Point of Return: A point on the eastern bank of the South Platte River located at NAD83UTM Zone 13N, Easting 498697.227 Northing 4387003.142 METERS. These coordinates were obtained using a Trimble R8 GPS unit receiving corrections via the Trimble VRS network. The point of diversion and point of return are shown on the Location Map attached as Exhibit A. B. Source: Big Dry Creek, a tributary to the South Platte River. C. Date of Initiation of Appropriation: December 30, 2015. 1) How appropriation was initiated: by field investigation, engagement of consulting engineers, and formation of intent to appropriate as evidenced by the filing of this application. 2) Date water applied to beneficial use: N/A. A. Amount Claimed: 5 c.f.s., conditional. A. Use: Hydropower generation and municipal purposes .

Primary use of the Big Dry Creek Hydropower Diversion will be for non-consumptive hydropower generation.

However, at those times when the water supply available from the South Platte River is of unsuitable quality for diversion into Englewood’s water treatment facility, the water diverted under the requested water right may be consumptively used for municipal uses. 4. Names and Addresses of Owner of Land on Which All Structures are Located: A. Applicant. B. State of Colorado-Department of Natural Resources, Colorado Water Conservation Board, 1313 Sherman St., Suite 721, Denver, CO 80202 WHEREFORE, Applicant requests this Court enter a decree granting Applicant the requested Big Dry Creek Hydropower Diversion conditional water right and such other relief as the Court deems just and proper.

The Date of Appropriation: August 14, 2013, each for BCP Wells 1-4. December 3, 2015 for BCP Well 5. Applicant initiated the appropriations by developing the intent to make the appropriations, conducting engineering analyses, purchasing replacement water supplies, entering into agreements with the Town of Wiggins regarding the delivery of replacement water to be used in the plan for augmentation, entering into negotiations with land owners for use of diversion points and recharge sites, and filing this application.

No water has been placed to beneficial use. 6. Do the wells withdraw tributary ground water? Yes. 6.1. Amount claimed in gallons per minute: The pumping rate claimed for each of the BCP Wells 1, 2, and 3 is 800 gpm, CONDITIONAL. The pumping rate claimed for each of the BCP Wells 4 and 5 is 1,000 gpm, CONDITIONAL. 6.2.

The BCP Wells will operate under the plan claimed in this case and the plan for augmentation described in the pending application in Case No. 15CW3010. The BCP Wells are not operated pursuant to any other decreed plans. 9. List all proposed uses: Water diverted from the Wells will be used for industrial, commercial, oil and gas development and production, dust suppression and other related purposes generally in portions of Adams and Arapahoe Counties in Townships 1 to 5 South, in Ranges 60 to 65 West. Such uses will be fully consumptive. Water from the BCP Wells will also be used for irrigation of up to 60 acres on the Randall Parcel and 60 acres on the Hawthorne Parcel. Applicant proposes to use the water by direct use, or by storage and subsequent use. A pond is currently proposed on the Randall Parcel, but other ponds may be constructed on that property, the Hawthorne Parcel, or at other locations needed to fully utilize the water for its decreed use. A map showing the general location of the BCP Wells, storage pond, and place of irrigation use is attached as EXHIBIT A. The general location for the other proposed uses is shown on the map attached as EXHIBIT B. SECOND CLAIM: PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION 10. Names of structures to be augmented: The BCP Wells. The structures have not yet been decreed, and a conditional water right for each well is claimed in this case as described above. There are no other water rights diverted from those wells. All relevant information is provided in the First Claim above. 11. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Applicant will rely on augmentation water delivered by the Town of Wiggins pursuant to the Amended Water Conveyance and Operating Agreement dated September 11, 2013, a copy of which is attached as EXHIBIT C. Wiggins currently owns or has the right to acquire approximately 27 shares in the Weldon Valley Ditch Company, and may acquire more shares in the future. The augmentation water will primarily consist of fully consumable water from the senior direct flow water right and recharge rights represented by those shares. The senior direct flow water right was originally decreed to the Weldon Valley Ditch on November 21, 1895, in Case No. 433, District Court for Weld County, in the amount of 165 cfs for irrigation with an appropriation date of October 26, 1881. Wiggins is also entitled to a pro rata share of recharge accretions from the Weldon Valley Ditch decreed on November 5, 2008, in Case No. 02CW377, Water Division 1.

The source of water for the senior direct flow and recharge water rights is the South Platte River. Those water rights are decreed for diversion through the Weldon Valley Ditch headgate located on the north bank of the South Platte River in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 13, T4N, R61W, 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The Wiggins water rights may be delivered directly to the South Platte River through one or more augmentation stations on the Weldon Valley Ditch or delivered as accretions to the River through one or more recharge structures located along the Ditch.

Wiggins may also deliver return flows from its treated water system and reusable effluent from its wastewater treatment plant to the South Platte River. Some of the Wiggins water rights are subject to a pending application in Case No. 14CW3068. Up to 1.11 cfs of that water will be exchanged up the South Platte River to a point near a recharge well used

Weldon Valley Ditch or delivered as accretions to the River through one or more recharge structures located along the Ditch.

Wiggins may also deliver return flows from its treated water system and reusable effluent from its wastewater treatment plant to the South Platte River. Some of the Wiggins water rights are subject to a pending application in Case No. 14CW3068. Up to 1.11 cfs of that water will be exchanged up the South Platte River to a point near a recharge well used to fill a recharge pond to be constructed near the confluence of Box Elder Creek and the South Platte River at the location described below. That exchange and the water rights and augmentation plan associated with that recharge project will also be used to replace depletions from the BCP Wells pursuant to a pending application in Case No. 15CW3010, which has been consolidated with this case.. Applicant also requests approval of a procedure to allow the addition of other water rights decreed for augmentation purposes pursuant to procedures described in Section 37–92–305(8)(c), C.R.S. 12. Will any water rights be changed to provide a source of augmentation? Applicant does not propose to change any water rights in this case. The Weldon Valley Ditch water rights to be delivered by Wiggins will only be used for augmentation in this case if they have been changed to allow augmentation use pursuant to one or more separate water court decrees or approved substitute water supply plans. A total of 10.4 shares have already been changed to allow use for irrigation, augmentation, replacement, recharge, and exchange in Case No. 04CW90. Wiggins has pending in Case No. 14CW3068 an application to change the Weldon Valley Ditch water rights represented by all 27 shares to allow municipal use by Wiggins, including augmentation of out of priority depletions caused by the BCP Wells, the wells proposed for delivery of water to the BCP Recharge Structure, and the Wiggins municipal wells, through various means of recharge and delivery to the South Platte River. Replacement will be limited to water from the changed 10.4 shares until additional shares have been approved for such use by the Weldon Valley Ditch Company and by the water court or State Engineer. 13. Complete statement of plan for augmentation. Applicant will divert water from the BCP Wells for the purposes and amounts described above for oil and gas development and production and related uses pursuant to contract with Select Energy Services and/or other entities.

The water pumped from the BCP Wells for those purposes will be fully consumed.

Applicant will also divert water for irrigation of up to 120 acres on the Randall and Hawthorne Parcels. A portion of the water used for irrigation will be consumed, and the rest will return to the alluvial aquifer.

The total maximum annual combined pumping for all purposes under this plan is 2,000 acre-feet. All out-of-priority depletions from all uses will be replaced using the sources identified in paragraph 12 in the time, amount, and location needed to prevent injury to vested water rights. The BCP Wells are located approximately 18 miles above the normally live stream segment on Box Elder Creek. As a result, stream depletions from pumping the BCP Wells will be significantly delayed and spread out over many years. Maximum annual stream depletions to the South Platte River will be approximately 66 acrefeet per year. The current estimated timing and amount of depletions from such well pumping and the resulting replacement obligations are described on attached EXHIBIT D. Applicant proposes to replace all out of priority stream depletions as needed to prevent injury to water rights having a decreed priority senior to the date of filing the original application.

Applicant has contracted with the Town of Wiggins to provide replacement water for these out-of-priority stream depletions by delivery of Weldon Valley Ditch water rights and any other water rights to the South Platte River and exchange of that water upstream to a recharge facility to be constructed near the confluence of the South Platte River and Box Elder Creek.

By joint application in Case No. 15CW3010, BCP and Wiggins have requested approval of an exchange to allow delivery of that water into the recharge structure or to a point of depletion on the South Platte River caused by diversion of water from the recharge well into the recharge structure. The recharge well will be located in the NE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 2, T4N, R63W, 6th P.M., and the recharge pond will be located in the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 11, T4N, R63W, 6th P.M. in Weld County (BCP Recharge Structure”), as more fully described in the application in 15CW3010.

Parker man updates book on missing son Exactly how 3-year-old boy died remains a mystery

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Just like they do each year, the Ataderos celebrated little Jaryd’s birthday on Jan. 2.

The difference between this party and others is the boy wasn’t there to enjoy it.

“Every year, we buy him a birthday cake and put candles on it, and my daughter and my wife and myself will actually sing him ‘Happy Birthday,’” said Allyn Atadero, who has lived in Parker for four years.

Months earlier, Atadero was marking the release of the updated version of “Missing: When the Son Sets — The Jaryd Atadero Story.” The 386-page book chronicles the personal struggle that gripped the Atadero family after 3-year-old Jaryd went missing during a hike in fall 1999.

Relatives, friends and search-andrescue teams worked doggedly to find the toddler, who had run ahead of the family on the Big South Trail in Poudre Canyon and seemingly vanished into thin air.

Many speculated the boy had been attacked and carried off by a mountain lion. It wasn’t until more than three years later that hikers found Jaryd’s shredded clothing. The findings seemed to fit the narrative, until the Ataderos had the clothes examined. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation found no hair from a predatory animal and a distinct absence of blood.

“It doesn’t sound like a mountain lion because there would have been blood everywhere,” Allyn Atadero said.

That left the possibilities wide open, and Atadero held out hope his son might still be alive. One expert with whom Atadero consulted said he believed the clothing was on the boy when he was taken and then placed back on the mountain at a later date “to take us off the trail,” Atadero said.

In June 2003, a skull fragment and tooth were found in the area where Jaryd went missing. Initial tests were inconclusive, but

The book jacket for the updated version of “Missing: When the Son Sets — The Jaryd Atadero Story.”

MORE INFORMATION For updates or to purchase the book, go to the Facebook page “Missing: When the Son Sets.”

Parker resident Allyn Atadero with a photo of his son, Jaryd, and the clothing that was found more than three years after the boy went missing. Courtesy photos a DNA examination conducted two years ago proved the remains were those of the missing boy.

The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office officially closed the case on Dec. 20, 2004, because “there was no foul play suspected in the disappearance and death of Jaryd,” said David Moore, public information officer for the sheriff’s office.

Although the DNA result closed one chapter, it didn’t answer what happened to Jaryd Atadero.

Writing it all down Allyn Atadero, a physical education teacher in the Jefferson County School District, didn’t intend to write a book. He simply began journaling his thoughts to cope with the pain six months after the search was officially called off.

He also wanted an accurate record of everything that happened so he could one day relate the story to his daughter, Jossalyn, who was 6 years old when her brother disappeared.

Allyn Atadero began sending his writ-

ings to his twin brother, Arlyn, who lives in California and serves as assistant superintendent for a school district. Arlyn Atadero refined the story and added some of his own recollections. The book was released in 2008, eight years after Jaryd went missing.

The most recent incarnation of “Missing: When the Son Sets — The Jaryd Atadero Story” considers new theories on what happened to the toddler and removes questions that have been answered since the first printing.

Atadero, who lived in Littleton when Jaryd disappeared, said writing down his thoughts has been therapeutic and, for a time, kept the story of his son in the news.

“My ultimate goal when I first started writing it was Jaryd had been missing and no one knew what happened to him,” he said. “I thought to myself, ‘What if he’s alive? What if he’s out there?’ As long as I can keep bringing attention to the story, people will see his picture.”

Atadero still receives occasional phone calls from strangers, including one person

Family Owned, Family Run

who urged him not to allow authorities to issue a death certificate. A man who authored a book about a serial killer suggested Jaryd Atadero could be a victim of a murder. And an anonymous caller claiming to have worked for the investigating agency on Jaryd Atadero’s case told Allyn Atadero not to give up because information was being withheld from him.

Atadero, who is divorced from Jaryd’s mother and has remarried, remembers his son as a buoyant and bubbly child with a penchant for physical affection.

“He was happy and full of energy, always smiling,” Allyn Atadero said during a recent interview. “He held my hand constantly.”

Although the nagging sense of loss is constant and Atadero frequently thinks about the life milestones his son never experienced, he has been able to carry on and live his life. Atadero was recently named the Colorado middle school P.E. teacher of the year by SHAPE Colorado.

But he still hasn’t given up hope in finding out how his son died.
