Local students tackle musical Englewood High to perform `Once Upon a Mattress’

IF YOU GO

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com

“Once Upon a Mattress” plays at 7 p.m. March 7-8 at Englewood High School’s Fisher Auditorium, 3900 S. Logan, Englewood. Tickets : $7 adults and $5 students and seniors at the door — or they can be purchased for $1 less in the main office or from cast members in advance.

Englewood High School’s thespians are in make-believe mode this winter as they present “Once Upon a Mattress,” the whimsical musical created by Mary Rodgers, Jay Thompson, Marshall Barer and Dean Fuller.

A career starter for the talented and funny Carole Burnett in 1959, the play has remained a popular piece for high schools and community theater groups since.

Based on Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Princess and the Pea,” it begins with yet another princess failing cranky Queen Aggravain’s (Shelby Moore) test — required

of any princess who would wed her son, Prince Dauntless (Nate Medina).

And, no one else in the kingdom is allowed to marry before he does.

Sir Harry (Luke Hall) and Lady Larkin (Kyrie Schroeder) need to marry sooner, rather than later and he sets off to find another candidate — which results in the arrival of a soggy Winnifred the Woebegone (Micah Scott). She swam the castle’s moat to get there.

By Sonya Ellingboe

She sings of “The Swamps of Home” and charms our Dauntless, who calls her Fred.

Also on the scene: the mute King Sextimus (Justin Willson) who lost his voice because of a spell cast on him. He manages to communicate quite well with his Jester (Charlotte Verrastro) and others — especially young ladies — and is able to instruct his son about “the birds and bees.” (A favorite scene for this viewer.)

Queen Aggravain is aided by the Wizard (Chad Glover) as she designs an impossible test for Winnifred.

Dan Carlson, drama director, says performances will be at 7 p.m. March 7 and 6 p.m. March 8 in the newly renovated Fisher Auditorium at Englewood High School.

This production will entertain all but the very youngest family members.

Plans call for the Englewood City Council to take up, and possibly vote, March 3 on a second and final reading of amendments to the city’s rules on working from home.

A vote could conclude the lengthy effort to upgrade and modernize the city’s rules on what residents who work from home can and can’t do.

Much of the discussion has stemmed from a complaint that was filed with the city in May 2013 about a resident working from home, which in the district the resident lived in, was at that point prohibited by city regulations.

Alan White, community development director, spoke about the proposed changes to the regulations at the start of the Feb. 18 public hearing.

“Computers and the Internet have changed the nature of home businesses,” White said. “Advances in technology have enabled start-up businesses and other businesses to be conducted from home in Englewood with minimum or no impact on the surrounding residences. These amendments seek to created balanced home occupation regulations.”

The proposed amendments would remove the city’s ban on any work-at-home businesses in a R1A (Residential 1-A) zone.

However, the wording is drafted to limit those businesses to either home office or clerical occupations in the R1A zone to preserve the residential character of neighborhoods.

Residents exchanged smiles and handshakes Feb. 19 when the Englewood Liquor and Medical Marijuana Licensing Authority turned down a request for licenses to operate a medical marijuana production facility at 4275 S. Windermere St. Board members met to consider Brighton resident James Sandoval’s applications to operate a 5,000 square-foot medical marijuana growing business as well as a 5,000 square-foot manufacturing facility to produce infused-marijuana products.

About 25 residents attended the public hearing, with five speaking against the applications. Area resident Gerald Ray, one of the speakers, presented the board members a petition signed by 92 residents and 24 businesses in the neighborhoods near the planned facility.

Another concerned resident, Brace

Elseyn, said he and his sons had received approval for a planned unit development zoning to build apartments on the property adjacent to the planned growing facility.

“My concern is the negative impact this facility will have on the area and, if it approved, there is the possibility we will not move forward with building the apartment complex,” he said.

Once all members of the public were heard, the board went into executive session to receive legal advice. Once they returned, they voted 4 to 1 to deny the applications.

Authority members Jacqueline Edwards, Michael Buchanan and Steven Ward and Chairperson Diane Ostmeyer voted to deny the license requests. Authority member Carolyne Wilmoth voted in favor of granting the licenses.

In general, those who voted to deny the licenses cited reasons varying from Sandoval not being well prepared to start and operate the business, to concerns about safety, transportation and sanitation at the facility, and a lack of knowledge about state Licenses continues on Page 7

Political challenges face three freshman lawmakers As the legislative session chugs along, three freshman lawmakers are trying to balance voting their personal ideology with that of the constituents who reside in their complicated districts.

And if that isn’t hard enough, a couple of them are still trying to figure out where the stairwells and exits and other important places are located inside the Capitol.

“The hardest thing for me was finding the bathroom,” said Sen. Bernie Herpin, RColorado Springs. “At my age, that’s important.”

Herpin and senate colleagues George Rivera, R-Pueblo, and Rachel Zenzinger, DArvada, may not always agree on politics.

But they share a common bond that is best summed up by the Grateful Dead’s “St. Stephen” — “One man gathers what another man spills.”

The three gained their seats as a result of recall efforts that sent their predecessors packing. Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo lost to Herpin and Rivera in September recall elections that were spurred by the Democrats’ votes on gun legislation that became law last year.

Zenzinger took over the seat that was held by fellow Democrat Evie Hudak, who resigned in November in the face of a recall effort.

The three didn’t think they’d have their own nameplates inside the Senate’s chambers, at least so soon. But, here they are.

And now that they’re here, they say they are trying to strike the right legislative balance while also trying to keep up with the sometimes complex and often maddening scene inside the Capitol.

I asked Rivera — a former cop who had never held elected office prior to winning his seat — if he has found the legislative

process to be overwhelming.

“I’d be lying if I said no,” Rivera said.

“Because there were instances where I said, ‘Wow, what did I get myself into?’ ” Getting around the building and figuring out how the legislative process works is one thing. Going back to their brutally-drawn districts to convince voters to send them back to the Capitol for a full term will be a whole other ball of wax.

Rivera is surrounded by Democrats in Pueblo’s District 3. Heck, even his wife is a Democrat. Last September, Rivera became the first Republican to represent the Democratic stronghold since the 1930s.

“People were really fed up and upset with a lot of the laws that were passed in Denver,” he said, referring specifically to gun bills and rural electric mandates.

“The bottom line is this: It just doesn’t seem like they understand that although they’re Democrat down there in Pueblo, doggone it, they take them for granted at their peril.”

Then there’s Herpin’s Senate District 11, which includes parts of Colorado Springs.

Now, when folks think of the Springs, they assume that it’s about as safe for a Republican lawmaker as Duke University is for Mike Krzyzewski.

But Herpin’s district is a tough one, and

column to resume next week Ann Macari Healey’s column will return in next week’s edition.

it includes Manitou Springs, where Democrats dig the vibe. Morse barely lost the September recall election to Herpin, by a razor thin margin of 51 percent to 49 percent.

Prior to becoming a state senator, Herpin’s political experience was limited to municipal government, having served on the city council there. But Herpin recently learned the hard way that things said inside council chambers get nothing like the attention they receive inside the Capitol.

A couple of weeks ago, Herpin made headlines during a committee hearing where he was presenting a bill that sought to repeal last year’s law that banned ammunition magazines from carrying more than 15 rounds. The bill was a reaction to recent mass shootings where the killers carried magazines that contained large numbers of ammunition rounds.

Herpin was trying to make the point that high-capacity magazines are unreliable and that perhaps it was “a good thing” that Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes had a 100-round magazine because it jammed.

The senator’s comments were received with outrage by family members who lost loved ones in the Aurora theater shooting.

Herpin said his comments were taken out of context, but that he understands the reaction. “I still think what I was trying to get across was correct, I just think I could have done it better,” he said. “It was my fault for not phrasing my remarks and taking into consideration the sensitivities of the subject.”

Herpin said “it’s not pleasant” when asked what it was like to be on the receiving end of bad press, rather than reading about someone else’s. Herpin then quipped that at least he didn’t go as far as did former Colorado Springs lawmaker Doug Bruce during his infamous antics on the first day of the 2008 legislative session.

“I’ve not yet kicked the reporter or the photographer, so I’m not the worst yet,” Herpin said.

Zenzinger hasn’t kicked a photographer yet either — and somehow, I just don’t see

that happening.

Unlike Herpin, Zenzinger has no problem finding bathrooms in the Capitol, seeing as how she was once an aide to Democratic Sen. Mary Hodge of Adams County.

The margin for error in Herpin’s district is pretty thin, but the one in Zenzinger’s District 19 is New York deli pastrami-like thin — and that’s thin!

Hudak won the seat with 51 percent of the vote in 2008, which was a virtual landslide compared to 2012, when she won by a margin of 584 votes, or by less than 1 percent of the vote.

Zenzinger doesn’t need a math lesson to figure out just how difficult her district is — after all, she ran Hudak’s successful 2012 campaign. She said she tries to convey to her divided constituency that what happens at the Capitol isn’t as divisive as they might think.

“Ninety to 95 percent of the bills passed at the Capitol are actually bipartisan,” she said. “And people go, ‘No they’re not.’ Yes, they actually are. It’s just those 5 percent that are really divisive. And that’s challenging because 50 percent of my district will agree and 50 percent wont agree.”

Zenzinger knows that she’s going to face a stiff challenge this November, regardless of who the Republican nominee turns out to be. She hopes that people will see she’s the same person who served on the Arvada City Council, but she knows full well that conservatives — especially gun enthusiasts — will try to paint her as the second coming of Evie Hudak.

“I’m sure they’re going to try to say that,” Zenzinger said. “So what I’m hoping to demonstrate is that I was OK when I was on city council in representing you and I haven’t changed. Who Rachel Zenzinger is hasn’t changed. So I’m trying to do a good job in showing I am my own person.”

“Government gets a lot of knocks … but ssonyou will not find a better group of people to strictgovern than the group you have right now,” ssfulGreenwood Village Mayor Ron Rakowsky nveysaid after reading a long list of names, many hap-of whom were in the room for the FirstBank theyCommunity Leaders Forum.

“Things are getting better,” she said. “People are willing to reinvest in our community and their businesses.”

On the horizon are more national chains for the Streets at SouthGlenn, some small breweries, 42 acres of mixed use north of Ikea and improvements to Arapahoe Road. ViewHouse restaurant will open a second location in Centennial, with sweeping views for rooftop diners, games and water features. TopGolf, which Noon described as a combination of golf and bowling, is planning a facility that will also feature food and drinks.

Englewood Mayor Randy Penn described his city as the “elder stateman” of the group.

“Englewood is old, but we are not dead,” he said.

New apartments will replace the demolished Flood Middle School on South Broadway soon, there’s a new Sprouts grocery store, and Swedish Hospital is expanding to seven

stories. A mixed-use redevelopment will rise at Broadway and Englewood Parkway, and the Belleview corridor will likely be designated for urban renewal, said Penn. Additionally, he’s excited about improvements to the South Platte River that will result in more recreational opportunities.

Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella said her board has focused lately on transportation, safety, economic foundations, natural resources and community service.

“It is our responsibility to make sure the conditions exist to be successful in all five of those areas,” she said.

“When you put the right conditions in place, economic development happens on its own.”

Notable projects have included the new Children’s Hospital, and work toward finding a solution for the congested C-470 corridor.

“We have to solve these problems on a local level,” she said.

The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office has announced the passing of former DA Jim Peters.

Peters died Feb. 19 after an extended battle with cancer. He was the predecessor to Carol Chambers, serving the 18th Judicial District from 1997 to 2005.

Peters successfully prosecuted mass murderer Nathan Dunlap, the man who killed four people at Chuck E. Cheese in 1993.

District attorney George Brauchler said Peters’ “legacy is one few could match.”

“Our community has lost one of the great champions for justice,” he said. “Jim inspired prosecutors — both novice and seasoned — to give victims a voice and vigorously pursue justice for them, ever mindful of the need to temper the application of our laws with mercy.”

Peters’ funeral will be at 11:30 a.m. Feb. 28 at St. Thomas More Catholic Parish, 8035 South Quebec Street in Centennial.

Arapahoe and Lincoln counties lowered their county flags Feb. 21 and will do so through the day of the funeral.

Douglas County will lower its flag at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center and the Elbert County Sheriff’s Office will lower their flag through the day of the funeral as well. The U.S. and state flags will be lowered on the day of the funeral.

Ribbon ‘shooting’ held at Centennial Gun Club Feb. 20 event spotlights Second Amendment rights

By George Lurie

glurie@coloradocommunitymedia.com A ribbon “shooting” was held at the Centennial Gun Club on Feb. 20 and some highprofile political leaders turned out for the event — and to voice their support for the Second Amendment.

Sponsored by the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, several hundred people attended the ceremony at Colorado’s largest gun club, which opened Jan. 4.

The facility, owned by Richard and Mary Abramson, encompasses some 35,000 square feet and includes 28 shooting lanes, a 5,000-square-foot retail store and a lavish, members-only VIP lounge.

Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donohue, an outspoken gun rights advocate, is a managing partner of the club and attended the Feb. 20 event, which allowed dignitaries who signed waivers to shoot, rather than cut, ribbons to officially open the facility.

Because the ribbon shooting was also promoted as a gun rally, a number of area elected officials declined invitations to attend the event.

But a veritable constellation of Republican lawmakers and political candidates

Douglas County Sheriff Dave Weaver,

who is term-limited and a candidate for the Board of County Commissioners, turned out for the event, as did the three candidates seeking to replace the sheriff — Undersheriff Tony Spurlock, Castle Rock Police

Cmdr. John Anderson and Coroner Lora Thomas.

Centennial City Councilmember Stephanie Piko, a member of the gun club, also attended the event, which was emceed by KOA Radio’s Stephan Tubbs, who kicked off the proceedings by stating his unequivocal support of the Second Amendment and adding that it was his job “to keep Mike Coffman from speaking for more than 10 minutes.”

Coffman, who represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District — which includes Aurora, Centennial, Littleton and Highlands Ranch — kept his remarks brief, reaffirming his support for the Second Amendment and recounting how his office had helped the Abramsons secure their SBA loan to build their facility.

Addressing the Abramsons directly before turning the microphone back to Tubbs, Coffman said: “God bless you and best of luck with the facility.”

South Metro Chamber CEO John Brackney also gave a short speech about the importance of protecting Constitutional rights.

“What makes America great are people like Richard and Mary (Abramson) doing the hard work.”

Richard Abramson thanked the crowd for coming out, saying, “We believe owning firearms is a tremendous responsibility.”

Caucuses slated to take place on March 4 Grassroots precinct sessions initiate process of selecting candidates

and candidates. Any resident who is a registered voter in that particular party can attend the caucus.

Generally, the first step at the precinct caucus is to elect a chairperson and a secretary. The people at the caucus elect two representatives to the party’s county central committee and then elect delegates to the county assembly There generally is a preference poll vote for if there is more than one candidate for an elected office. If there is more than one party candidate for a position, the number of precinct delegates to the county assembly pledged to that candidate is based on the vote percentage.

The next step in the nomination process is the county assembly. At the county assembly, delegates elected from the precincts work on party platform plank issues and nominate party delegates for county offices.

This year, the Arapahoe County GOP Assembly will be held March 29 at Arapahoe High School, 2201 E. Dry Creek Road. The state assembly will be held April 12 at the Coors Event Center in Boulder.

The Arapahoe County Democrats will meet for their assembly March 22 at Grandview High School, 20500 E. Arapahoe Road. The state assembly will be held April 12 at the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver.

The party assemblies and conventions lead up to the state primary election that will be held June 24.

Vandalism suspect’s pretrial continued Judge approves Michael Trickel’s request, schedules preliminary hearing for March 13

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Michael Trickel appeared briefly in 18th Judicial District Court Feb. 18 and heard the judge approve his request for a continuance, setting March 13 as the new date for the preliminary hearing.

Trickel, along with Anthony Meany and Chad Delgadillo, is suspected of breaking into Englewood High School in the early-morning hours of Jan. 12. The trio is suspected of smashing windows and computers in the STEM lab before smashing windows and trophy cases in the band, choir and orchestra rooms.

They also allegedly set small fires that set off the sprinkler system and the water from those sprinklers did additional damage in the three rooms and in the auditorium.

The cost of cleanup and repairs has most recently been estimated at about $200,000.

During Trickel’s March 13 preliminary hearing, the defense and prosecution can call witnesses and present evidence and, at the conclusion of the proceedings, the judge will likely rule whether or not the defendant should be held for trial.

Trickel remains in custody of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Center and his bond remains at $50,000.

Delgadillo was released from jail at an earlier date after posting $15,000 bond. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. March 27 in Division 302.

Meany posted $50,000 of bond on Feb. 10 and was released. He is scheduled to return to court for his preliminary hearing at 1:15 p.m. March 4 in Division 302.

When in doubt, reach out Mental-health nonprofit offers free support

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gina Moore came into her job as the president of the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Arapahoe/Douglas Counties with more personal knowledge than she wanted.

“My son got sick pretty quickly and pretty dramatically in eighth grade,” she said.

He had always shown signs of anxiety, but then he got really depressed and started experimenting with drugs and alcohol. One day she came home and he’d organized the refrigerator and alphabetized all the spices in the kitchen. Then she realized he was cutting himself.

“All these things were happening, but I wasn’t putting it all together,” she said. “The last thing you would think of is mental illness, especially if you don’t have it in the family. You might think drugs, you might think alcohol, but you don’t think this is emerging mental illness.”

In fact, it wasn’t until her son learned about depression in health class and got concerned himself that they went to the doctor and eventually ended up with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

“You’re reeling, your whole world has changed, and it’s never going to be the same again,” she said.

With the recent spate of suicides and murders committed by young men in the south-metro area, NAMI is working hard to get the word out so that more of those stories can have better outcomes, as Moore’s son’s has.

“We can provide so much support to families,” she said. “The more education and support they have, the better able they’re going to be to help their loved ones.”

NAMI offers free classes and support to people with disorders ranging from major depression to schizophrenia to post-traumatic stress. Loved ones are encouraged to participate, in particular through a 12-week class called Family to Family. Topics covered include how to find resources, how to deal with law enforcement should that become necessary, current research, communication skills and self-care, among many more.

Moore’s personal feeling is that everyone should know as much about mental-health care as they do about basic first aid, to bring the subject out of hiding.

“We realize there is a lot of stigma, and stigma gets in the way of getting help,” she said. “These are biological disorders like diabetes, like cancer. I think what makes people so scared of it is that the behavior is strange. A lot of mental illness is not visible, they’re not in wheelchairs or casts. You just have to be nice to people, because you don’t know what kind of cross they are carrying.”

Her own son went through a phase when he wasn’t hanging out with his usual group of friends, and now she wonders if it was because his behavior was changing, if he had become the “weird kid,” as so many with mental illness do.

“The other kids think, `That kid is a troublemaker, the weird one, that kid is a jerk,’” she said. “They don’t stop to think that it might not be intentional. … They might get fidgety, or withdraw, or become overly talkative or do both of those things within minutes of each other.”

NAMI Arapahoe/Douglas is working on a program that would let young people who

Englewood Herald 5

are dealing with mental illness share their experiences in area schools.

“It would bring someone into the classrooms who looks just like them,” she said.

It can be hard for loved ones to know when to reach out for help, she acknowledges, because who’s to say when the line is crossed on the continuum of normal?

“When it gets to the point when it seems outside of the range, or it goes on too long,” she said. “As a parent, you would know your kid and maybe know when it’s gone over a line.”

After her son’s diagnosis, she found NAMI when she realized she needed help with how to go forward.

“My son just hated it, because I kept checking on him,” she said. “I treated him like a baby, and sometimes it made it worse.”

She says she’s gained a sense of empathy along their journey, and hopes her story will help other parents be more aware of when and how to get help for troubled kids.

“It’s so hard to find resources, and a lot of people fall through the cracks,” she said.

Heavy lifting ahead at former Willowcroft site

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The earth is moving at the former Willowcroft property, just east of Platte Canyon Road on Bowles Avenue.

From the rubble will emerge 41 singlestory patio homes and one large estate home on the nearly 10-acre site. Some residents have expressed concern about the density, and others have said that they

hoped to save the historic manor that sat on the land for nearly 130 years.

But in December, more than 60 percent of Columbine Valley’s registered voters cleared the way for development to begin.

Twenty-five percent of the land will be open space, and there will be a 6-foot brick fence on the three open sides of the property. The developer, Taylor Morrison, will build an additional turn lane on Middlefield Road and Bowles Avenue, along with a landscaped gateway feature.

neWs in a Hurry RTD ridership increases

The Regional Transportation District announced there was a 2.5 percent increase in the use of public transportation as there were about 2.6 more ridership trips in 2013 than in 2012.

Part of the increase in ridership, officials said, is a result of the opening of the West Light Rail Line in April 2013, which contributed about three million passenger trips to the ridership totals.

Boardings averaged about 280,000 a day with almost 102 million boardings in 2013.

Support ‘right to know’ in challenging times The latest developments in digital communications were discussed at length at the Colorado Press Association annual convention Feb. 21 in Denver. While the expanding modes of obtaining news continues in an extended renaissance period, it appears while more and more information is literally at hand, the information that is so important to the public’s right to know is not flowing so freely.

One discussion led by experts in media law focused on current challenges obtaining public records from government entities.

Journalists’ heads nodded to comments that the cost of obtaining documents often remains a barrier. Heads nodded

our view that information is sometimes being held back based on how the provider thinks the media may present it —such as putting it online — while the public’s right to know should not be limited by who wants it and how it may be used.

And heads nodded when media experts said the state appellate courts are no longer on “our” side — meaning specifically the media — thwarting our role to obtain information and be a watchdog on govern-

letter to the editor Caucuses are coming up

While the political ads and candidate announcements have begun, the official start of the 2014 election season kicks off at 7 p.m. March 4. That’s the date of Colorado’s grassroots political process: the Precinct Caucus.

Unlike some states, which only conduct primary elections, Colorado conducts precinct caucuses. This process gives members of political parties the opportunity to meet, debate issues and nominate candidates to represent them on the 2014 election ballot. Caucus attendees can speak on behalf of their favorite candidates, vote for their favorites and elect delegates to the countywide assemblies and convention.

This year candidates for Colorado governor, treasurer, secretary of state attorney general and the U.S. Senate and Congressional seats, Colorado legislators and county officials will be up for election. Information about the candidates is on the League of Women Voters of Arapahoe County’s web site, www.lwvarapahoe.org.

Any registered voter in one of Colorado’s major political parties (Republican,

Democrat, American Constitutional) can attend a caucus. Colorado does not allow unaffiliated (Independent) voters to participate. Caucuses are held in homes, schools, churches and community buildings throughout each Colorado County. To find your location you will need your precinct number. Visit the following websites or call the following phone numbers for information: Arapahoe County Democrats: www. arapahoedems.org or 303-338-1202 Arapahoe County Republicans: www. arapahoerepublicans.org or 303-779-1115 American Constitution Party: www.constitutionparty.com or 720-772-4227 Arapahoe County Clerk: www.arapahoevotes.com or 303-795-4511 Douglas County Republicans: www. dcgop.org or 303-730-0100 Douglas County Democrats: www.douglasdemocrats.org or 720-509-9048 Douglas County Clerk: www.douglas. co.us/clerk or 303-660-7469 Marlu Burkamp League of Women Voters of Arapahoe County

The life you change could be your own There is an old short story, actually written in 1955, that was part of a series authored by Flannery O’Connor titled “The Life You Save May Be Your Own.” And several years ago as the use of seat belts became mandatory, a slogan and commercial became popular that used this very same wording, “The Life You Save May Be Your Own.” What if we modified the statement with just one word, “The life you change may be your own?”

Have you ever done something for someone else, maybe changed their life in a small or maybe even very significant way? And although you helped the other person, in some way you also recognized that a part of you had been changed as well. Some people have shared with me that when they actually did something for another person or helped them make a change, their own lives changed as well, and generally for the better.

The change may have been only temporary, but they noticed a change. And others have told me that the impact on their own life has changed them forever, just by helping someone else make a change in their personal or professional life.

I receive emails all the time from the community and the testimonies regarding this are really incredible. And the stories are very similar, people experience a positive change in their lives when they have provided assistance to someone else. And the cool thing is this, many of the stories include examples where the person was unaware that they were actually doing something to help out another individual, and before they knew it their own life was transformed in wonderful ways.

Now being intentional about it is something totally different, offering assistance and aid because we are in a position to do so emotionally, financially, spiritually, or physically is awesome. Whether I hear about the examples of success at a seminar or corporate meeting or through an email, each story inspires me and fills me with the belief that there is so much good in this world and that gets done in this world by good people, including you.

The coolest thing that I admire most from each story or example is that the person who shared it with me never claimed to receive anything physical in return. It was not like they did something for someone else and were rewarded in some way, shape, or form. The gift they received was a just a `feeling’ of change or being changed themselves. Some had a hard time explaining or articulating it, but I knew exactly what they meant. There is something inside of us that does change whenever we are able to help someone else, and again it is generally for the better.

It could mean helping them find a job, encouraging them as they battle an addiction, support them as they try and get in shape, talk to them while they are grieving, give them a hand-up if we are in such a position to do so, juts listen, offer a smile, give a necessary and timely hug, enrich their lives with introductions to other people, defend them if they are wronged or just stand by their side.

There are hundreds of other examples of how we can help change a life, but the only ones that ever matter are the ones that we take action on.

“The life you change could be your own,” and I would love to hear all about your story or example at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we help someone make a change, and when we feel that positive change in our own lives, it truly will be a better than good week.

ment. The whys of the present climate can be contemplated, but we agree with the general notion that the impact of 9/11 turned tides to tightening of information to media and compromising privacy of the public.

We profess media is not so beloved by the masses, but when we write informative stories, we know our work is valued.

For this reason, we agree with the notion that the work of maintaining strong open records laws and the public’s right to know may soon involve more effort from the public itself, perhaps even in the form of a public initiative on the ballot someday.

We have editorialized often about the importance of the First Amendment and

the public’s right to know, so today we share a pitch for you to take a look at a relatively new nonprofit group in Colorado called the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition.

The organization wants to serve the media and emphasized it wants to serve those in the general public facing challenges obtaining information. Please visit the FOIC website, which has been online less than a year. Yes, full participation involves a modest membership fee, but we strongly commend the work the coalition is doing at the early stage.

Take a moment to think about the work we do and the information you need while viewing the content at coloradofoic.org.

Julia always said that it is best to ‘save the leftovers’ Butter-loving chef Julia Child — or maybe it was Dan Aykroyd, who impersonated Child — said “save the leftovers.” It is good advice. I save my leftovers, that’s for sure. What I mean is, I save the written bits that don’t make it to the final draft.

There is always something that has to be cut out that I really wanted to keep in a column, but for a number of reasons had to be scrapped. I put the scraps in a folder and save them for a day when I need to throw something together pronto for my editor because I have to catch a plane.

Julia was taller than Dan. She was 6-foot-2 and Dan is 6-1. People make fun of Julia, but not old Craig. She was terrific.

Sure, her appearance was unusual, and her cadence was too, and she wasn’t exactly chef Cat Cora now, was she?

She was what my ornithologist would call a “hoot.” She said, “The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook.”

And, “How can a nation be called great if its bread tastes like Kleenex?”

I saved this leftover from an in-depth column about Phil Knight, Nike, and the Oregon Ducks. If you have seen the Oregon football team, you know they never wear the same uniform twice, and it’s thanks to Nike CEO Knight.

“Doctor, doctor, my wife thinks she’s a duck.”

“Bring her in to see me right away.”

“I can’t - she’s already flown south for the winter.”

Man, it was hard to delete that.

I wrote a column about our neighbor to the east, Nebraska. Some of my favorite people are from Nebraska. Fred Astaire was from Nebraska, and so were Marlon Brando, Henry Fonda and civil rights advocate Malcolm X. So why did I have to blemish the homage with a Nebraska joke or two?

“What’s the best thing to come out of Nebraska? I-80.”

That was so unnecessary. I researched Nebraska laws and discovered that in Waterloo, it’s illegal for barbers to eat onions between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. That was cut.

I wrote a column about the junk that people put in their coffee, like cream and sugar. I said that some people think that on the Eighth Day, God created coffee. You can probably figure out why that had to go.

I wanted to compliment the dentistry profession. I have a wonderful dentist. But it just seems inevitable that I’ll want to try to slip something in there that doesn’t belong. She was named Dentist of the Year, so I asked her, “What did you get? A little plaque?”

I can hear the groans. I read what other columnists write, and it doesn’t seem like any of them have this problem, or maybe they do and we just don’t know about it because they hit “delete” before it goes out.

I don’t know if this is a true story or not, but Charles Dickens allegedly was asked by his publisher to delete one sentence, just one sentence, from the manuscript of “A Christmas Carol.” I wish it had been left in.

Hickenlooper unveils pot plans Retail marijuana revenue exceeds expectations

mehose

Marijuana tax revenues that exceeded original expectations will go toward youth pot-use deterrence programs, substance abuse treatment and other services, under a proposal released by Gov. John Hickenlooper on Feb. 19.

The state expects to rake in $184 million in total marijuana revenue by the end of June 2015, with about $153 million of that coming from retail pot sales that began on January 1, according to projections by the governor’s office.

The remainder of the projected pot revenue will come from medical marijuana sales.

Retail pot sales are projected to reach $610 million next fiscal year. That’s a significant increase from Legislative Council projections tied to last year’s retail pot tax structure bill, which set a gross retail pot sales forecast of $395 million.

The revenue comes as a result of last

go toward grants for school health professionals who will educate students about marijuana use.

Other youth-targeted spending will go toward a youth marijuana education campaign that aims to curb pot use among kids.

Another $40 million of Hickenlooper’s marijuana spending proposal will go toward substance abuse treatment programs.

That includes $7 million that will pay for 105 residential drug treatment beds and another $4 million for services that help those leaving residential treatment centers continue their drug treatment in their communities.

The governor’s budget request also includes money for law enforcement and public safety and public health programs related to marijuana awareness.

Hickenlooper acknowledged in his letter to the Joint Budget Committee that these numbers are merely projections and that his proposal leaves room for “forecast fluctuations and unknown needs that could arise during the year.”

“Given the many uncertainties surrounding Marijuana Cash Fund projections and the potential need for additional funding for the Department of Revenue’s marijuana-related enforcement activities, this package represents a strong first step toward ensuring a safe and responsible regulatory environment,” Hickenlooper said.

year’s voter-backed Proposition AA, which imposed a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent retail tax on all retail marijuana transactions that became legal through 2012’s Amendment 64.

The first $40 million of annual excise tax revenue goes toward school construction and the rest goes into the Marijuana Cash Fund, which pays for industry regulations that are overseen by the Department of Revenue.

With the additional projected revenue, Hickenlooper will seek $99 million next fiscal year to fund programs aimed at providing “responsible regulation for adult-use marijuana and the effective allocation of resources to protect public safety, and health and to prevent underage use,” the governor said through a budget proposal letter submitted to the Joint Budget Committee.

“Indeed, we view our top priority as creating an environment where negative impacts on children from marijuana legalization are avoided completely,” Hickenlooper’s letter reads. “Underage use of marijuana can have long-lasting effects on individuals and communities.”

Hickenlooper proposes that the state spend $45.5 million over the next two fiscal years for youth marijuana use prevention and deterrence. Priorities include the transferring of $5 million from the Marijuana Cash Fund, which Hickenlooper wants to

and city rules governing medical marijuana.

After the meeting, Sandoval said he had no comment on the proceedings.

“I guess that is just the way it goes,” he said. “I am still in compliance and licensed by the state so I won’t give up. Each city has different rules so I will continue looking for a location where I can set up my business.”

During the hearing, he spoke about his plans for the proposed business.

“I am a licensed electrician and I have helped build a number of marijuana growing facilities so I know how to do it,” he said, adding that he had a lease with the site.

Sandoval told the board that he planned to begin operation with 500 marijuana plants.

He said that he expected the growing facility and the infusion manufacture facility would generate $30,000 to $50,000 a month. After expenses, he said he expected his profit to be more than $5,000 a month.

center in the 4300 block of Broadway has a small growing facility within its building.

“The Englewood Liquor and Medical Marijuana Authority approved establishment of a facility at 4695 S. Windermere St. to grow medical marijuana on Feb. 3 and will be considering a license for a grow and production facility on South Navajo on Feb. 19,” he told the council at the Feb. 18 meeting. “That is in the district I represent and the people oppose these facilities. I recommend we establish a six-month moratorium applications for (any more) medical marijuana facilities.”

Dan Brotzman, city attorney, told the council that if they passed the moratorium it applied to applications that had been filed and the city could face liability for stopping or delaying a process to establish a legal business.

Councilmember Jill Wilson suggested the moratorium would apply to license applications for any future medical marijuana cultivation facilities and medical marijuana product manufacturing.

The council approved the proposed moratorium against future medical marijuana facilities by a vote of 6-to-1. Mayor Randy Penn, Councilmembers Bob McCaslin, Linda Olson, Steve Yates, Wilson and Gillit voted for the moratorium. Councilmember Joe Jefferson voted against the

moratorium.

Jefferson said he voted against it because of his concern that the decision could influence the licensing authority decision on the pending application and he was concerned about possible city liability.

When the Englewood Liquor and Medical Marijuana Authority met Feb. 19, they voted to disapprove a proposal for a facility that would grow medical marijuana and produce medical marijuana products in a building at 4257 S. Navajo St.

Separate grow facility license approved Facility at 4695 S. Windermere will grow medical marijuana

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Englewood Liquor and Medical Marijuana Licensing Authority voted 4-to-1 on Feb. 5 to grant a license to establish a 5,000 square foot medical marijuana cultivation facility.

The authority decision came after a public hearing on the application submitted by Romelo Sandoval to establish the growing facility at 4695 S. Windermere St. The applicant’s son, Gabriel, will manage the facility that will grow the medical marijuana for the center the Sandovals operate in Denver.

Authority members noted the Sandovals stated that they were operating a small cultivation facility at their center in Denver but needed a larger facility to meet the requests for products by their customers.

It was noted that the applicants had a solid business plan, were well-funded and were completely familiar with all the state and city regulations governing the medical marijuana business.

Authority members Carolyne Wilmoth, Michael Buchanan and Jacqueline Edwards and chairperson Diana Ostmeyer voted to approve the application. Authority member Steven Ward voted against it.

The minutes of the meeting stated Ward’s comments about his vote. He said he opposed awarding the license because the applicant didn’t provide full disclosure of all the requested information about his criminal history although the incident was disclosed late. He also said that he opposed awarding the license because no area resident spoke in favor of the application.

Lawsuit filed against state over gay marriage Ban denies same-sex couples `equal protection,’ suit says

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Blasting Colorado’s gay marriage ban as a law that creates “two classes of citizens,” a group of nine gay couples have filed a lawsuit against the state that could pave the way toward same-sex marriage here.

The lawsuit was filed in Denver District Court on Feb. 19 and it alleges that a 2006 voter-backed referendum banning gay marriage denies same-sex couples “equal protection, due process and basic fairness,” which violates the U.S. Constitution.

“Colorado’s exclusion of same-sex couples from the institution of marriage has adversely impacted the plaintiffs and other Colorado same-sex couples in real and significant ways,” the lawsuit reads.

Nine couples who reside in different parts of the state are listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. They include a former Arvada police officer who lives with her partner of more than three years and their 5-yearold son; a Littleton couple who were the first couple to be issued a civil union in Arapahoe County last year; and a Lone Tree couple of 12 years who recently married in Washington state because they could not do so here.

“The situations faced by these couples are similar to those faced by many other same-sex couples in Colorado who are denied the basic rights, privileges and protections of marriage for themselves and their children,” the lawsuit states.

Eight years ago, Colorado voters through Amendment 43 changed the state’s Constitution to define marriage between a man and a woman. But a lot has happened since that time.

As of this month, 17 states have legalized

same-sex marriage.

And just last year, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down key provisions of the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied gay couples federal benefits that heterosexual couples enjoy.

Most recently, challenges to same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma have been brought before the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.

Last year, the Legislature created civil unions in Colorado. But the lawsuit states that the new protections don’t go far enough.

“Like many other couples with a lifelong commitment, the unmarried plaintiffs are spouses in every sense, except that Colorado law will not allow them to marry, instead only offering them the second-class and unequal options of civil unions,” the lawsuit states.

Gay lawmakers agreed.

“We made progress with civil unions last

year, but obviously that’s not enough,” said Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, who is gay. “That still denies a lot of couples some critical federal benefits they could be getting if they were married.”

House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, Colorado’s first openly gay House speaker, said the lawsuit was “inevitable” and that public opinion on gay marriage has shifted dramatically since the Colorado ban was put in place “People have a fear of the unknown in some sense,” said Ferrandino. “So, once people start seeing same-sex couples in relationships and they have friends and relatives who are in committed relationships, it’s like, ‘Well, this really hasn’t impacted me. And they’re happier, so why would I be against this?’

“The speed at which this is changing both from the public perspective and the legal perspective is faster than almost anything I’ve ever seen.”

Police seek information No happy hour for bar-closing bill House kills measure that in man’s death would have allowed bars to Staff report The Englewood Police Department found the body of Damian Wayne Thompson, 38, on Feb. 19 and the police are asking anyone who has information on Thompson’s activities on Feb. 19 or before are asked to call Detective Jan Ball at 303-762-2402.

Englewood police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Thompson, whose body was found Feb. 19 hung up on debris in the middle of the South Platte River.

Police were called by a cyclist who saw the body while riding on the Mary Carter Greenway Trail in the 3100 block of South Platte River Drive.

Englewood detectives and an investigator from the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office assisted in recovering the man’s body and the body was taken to the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office for further investigation.

Englewood police state that, because this is an active investigation, no other information about Thompson or the case is being released at this time.

stay open until 4:30 a.m.

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sorry bar flies, but a bill that would have allowed watering holes to stay open past 2 a.m. was rejected in the House on Feb. 17.

House Bill 1132 would have let cities and towns decide whether bars can stay open until 4:30 in the morning. But the effort died after an amendment that was tacked on to the bill caused it to lose the support of a key stakeholder.

The bill received initial approval in the House the previous week. But the day of the final vote, an exasperated bill sponsor decided to pull the plug on the effort.

“Let’s go back to the drawing board,” said Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver. “Go ahead and put me out my misery and kill this bill.”

Colorado law prohibits bars from staying open between the hours of 2 and 7 in the morning. The bill was being promoted as a way to curb violence and chaos that has caused problems outside downtown Denver’s night spots.

Supporters argued that the mass exodus of rowdy patrons at 2 a.m. puts a strain on police resources and that by allowing bars to stay open later, there would be fewer drunks spilling out into the streets at the same time.

Rep. Jovan Melton, D-Aurora, said his wife was a victim of that chaos. Melton said that a stray bullet struck his wife as she was driving through downtown Denver as pa-

Planning and Zoning commissioners have discussed the issues at several meetings and only one resident testified at the commission’s public hearing on Oct. 8, 2013.

The continuing council discussion led to the proposal to adopt seven amendments to the regulations during first reading Jan. 21. The council held a public hearing on the amendments on Feb. 3 and five residents

trons were exiting bars at 2 a.m.

“That might not have happened had we had staggered times or had later hours where everyone wasn’t out in the street at once,” Melton said.

The bill provided for interesting debate, one that was not the usual party-line fight.

For example, Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, urged support of the bill, saying that it allowed for local governments to make their own decisions about what’s best for their communities. But Rep. K.C. Becker, DBoulder, said the bill could have “unintended consequences,” such as more drunkendriving fatalities.

Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, said he couldn’t understand how the bill improves public safety.

“I’ve never understood how letting a bar stay open until three is going to improve the behavior of those who are inebriated when they hit the streets,” he said.

The bill was peppered with amendments during a second-reading House vote on Feb. 14, including one that would spell its doom.

The House supported an amendment that would have allowed the extended hours, but would have also allowed local governments the ability to shorten bar hours, meaning that the bar-closing range would have been between 1 and 4:30 in the morning.

That amendment caused the Colorado Restaurant Association to withdraw support for the bill, causing Duran to ask members to kill her own bill in hopes of giving it another shot next year.

“I think all the amending going on around this bill shows that this bill doesn’t do what it needs to do,” Gardner said.

testified on the issue.

The public hearing was continued to Feb. 18 and again, there were five residents who testified. Four of the residents urged the council to make additional changes so that the home occupation rules were the same for all residential zones.

City processes call for the council to next take up the amendments on second and final reading, which is tentatively scheduled as part of the March 3 meeting.

When the Feb. 18 public hearing was completed, council members discussed some possible changes to the amendments. City Attorney Dan Brotzman said changes could be made March 3 during the second-reading discussion. However, if there were major changes to the proposal, an additional second reading would have to be scheduled, probably for the March 17 meeting.

Ola Gjeilo: A Nordic spiritual voice at Evensong Classical music reaches metaphysical heights

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com The “Sunrise Mass” — albeit in the evening — by Norwegian-born composer Ola Gjeilo (pronounced yay-lo) will be performed in the sanctuary of Littleton United Methodist Church on March 9 as the centerpiece of a one-hour Evensong Service.

The service “will include times of prayer and reflection,” said David Kates, music director at the church.

Kates is also a staff member at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he works with the University Singers choral group, among his teaching responsibilities.

The Singers will join with UMC’s Chancel Choir to perform Gjeilo’s four-part work, accompanied by the Colorado Chamber Orchestra, a string orchestra.

Gjeilo set traditional texts of the church in four movements entitled “The Spheres,” (Kyrie) “Sunrise,” (Gloria) “The City” (Credo) and “Identity and The Ground,” (Sanctus and Agnus Dei).

“The progression through these movements represents a metaphysical journey from the cosmos to the earth, through human existence, to the innermost Self and, finally, to the essence of our being in Divine Love,” Kates writes.

The composer, born in Norway in 1978, began study at the Julliard School in New

A life in arts leads to service at the museum Joy of volunteering, sharing history drives Littleton’s Kitzelman

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com On March 4, three area women who have dedicated untold hours to the Denver Art Museum will be honored with the Cile Bach Award at the Annual Meeting of the Board of Trustees. They are: Jacquie Kitzelman, Littleton; Elizabeth Clarke, Castle Pines; and Muriel Brainerd, Lakewood.

Cile Bach, wife of early director Otto Bach, is considered the “Mother” of museum volunteers and the award has been given in her name since 1978.

She helped organize children’s programming in 1945 and was hired to the staff in 1946, where she used her experience as a professional journalist to connect with schools, press and radio. The couple concentrated on building a strong group of volunteers. The South Wing was named for them in 1977.

Docent Jacquie Kitzelman remembers an early entry into the arts world — as Raggedy Ann at age 5. Her mother was a music teacher and her father was in arts.

She has been in that world since; as a Theatre, Communications and English major at the University of Nebraska, then performing, teaching and in management.

Elizabeth Clarke (Castle Pines), Muriel Brainard (Lakewood) and Jacquie Kitzelman (Littleton) are the 2014 winners of the annual Cile Bach Awards for outstanding service to the Denver Art Museum. Courtesy photo For 11 years, since retiring, she has been a docent at the Denver Art Museum and is currently one of 73 active docents. There are 52 new ones in the lengthy training program, she says.

There are four groups of volun-

staff.

For each new exhibit, the educators hear several lectures and walk through the show with curators and sometimes artists, before they are ready to conduct tours.

Training for the docents who lead tours for museum visitors is extensive, with reading, discussion and lectures by the expert

been a new class every five years, but it may change to every two years due to increased exhibits and numbers of museum visitors, which include thousands of children.

She said “My eyes light up when I hear a kid say `I don’t want to leave here!’”

Kitzelman also serves as a mentor for provisional docents on Monday mornings.

“We have homework in collections, design tours, special papers… It’s a major commitment, like a college course,” she said.

“It’s really been a joy. The museum treats its volunteers so well. I’ll stay as long as I can walk out of here with a smile on my face.”

People interested in volunteering should contact Meg MorrisAabakken, she suggests, at mmorris@denverartmuseum.org.

Elizabeth Clarke, who started as a skier in New Zealand, is chair of the DAM Flower Council, which is responsible for elegant arrangements such as the rose arrangements for the Yves Saint Laurent dinner, honoring special guests from France. She is also active on the Shop Council.

Muriel Brainerd grew up in small town outside Minneapolis and prepared to be a teacher.

While principal of a Jefferson County elementary school in 1979, she joined the DAM as a volunteer in the shop. When she retired in 1992, she trained teachers for Colorado Christian University, as well as volunteering at the museum.

Summer camps introduce FRTC to Highlands Ranch

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Transitions.

Front Range Theatre Company, which has been a sort of Act II for the longstanding Castle Rock Players, has taken a big step and moved its operations to Highlands Ranch, where it will initially offer a pair of “Triple Threat” summer theater camps.

We sat down at Tattered Cover’s coffee shop with new Executive Director Laurilea Williams to talk about the organization and future plans.

Williams has been in education for 11 years, teaching at levels from kindergarten through college. She is Director for Headstrong Theatre at Mountain Ridge Middle School and says she enjoys middle school best.

Her Bachelors and Masters degrees in theatre, journalism and theatre education are from Texas A&M University.

She taught in Texas and was involved with nonprofit theaters there before moving to Colorado. She especially loves the design, costume and technical parts of theatre.

Williams is currently in rehearsals with the 2014 edition of Magic Moments in “Marry You” and says she used to work on Front Range Theatre’s

summer camp in Castle Rock, where she lives. (Just two signed up for the last one…)

Last year, the organization sold off an accumulation of costumes, props and equipment, which gave it enough to pay off any debts. Williams said she suggested the move to Highlands Ranch, where school space was available for activities. New board members will be added slowly. Initial names are being finalized.

The camps for this summer still have some spaces open, she said. Emphasis will be on voice, dancing and acting, with a technical track offered as well.

The camp location is at Mountain Vista High School, 10585 Mountain Vista Ridge.

Staff includes Katie Russell, music teacher; Karen Sprafke, language arts teacher; Liz Meyer, theater lover; Lucas Reeves, choir teacher at Mountain Ridge Middle School, and recent University of Northern Colorado graduate Carolyn Warner, who was a student teacher at Mountain Ridge.

The limit is 50 for each age level: Middle and High School Camp for 11 to 17 year olds will be June 9 to 20, with performances June 20, 21 at Mountain Vista High School. “Disney’s High School Musical” will be the production.

Elementary Camp, for kids 6 to 11 years old will be July 14 to 25, with performances July 25, 26. The production

will be “Disney’s Cinderella” and the camp will be at Mountain Ridge Middle School, next to the high school.

For tuition and registration information, please visit www.frontrangetheatre.org.

Williams is also continuing her practice of taking theatre kids (43 are registered) to New York for a four-day visit, with tickets to “Aladdin,” “Matilda,” and “Newsies” (with “Cinderella” as a back-up). The itinerary also includes: a backstage tour, professional dance workshop, Metropolitan Opera visit, St. Paul, the 9/11 site, Statue of Liberty, Wall Street and Empire State Building, she said. She has theatre friends working there who will meet with the kids.

No doubt, audiences will see some of those same kids onstage later in the summer, inspired by the professional theater they experienced.

Williams hopes to see community theatre develop in Highlands Ranch and has hopes of work-shopping a new play by a Castle Rock writer in 2015, as well as producing Christmas shows and others.

The revised Front Range Theatre Company website is up and running.

A newsletter is in development, it says, while it introduces plans and staff.

There is a contact button for messages that will be checked every 24 hours, Williams said.

Community connections are welcome.

ViewHouse 2.0 plans summer opening Demolition work begins on former Trail Dust Steak House

By George Lurie

glurie@coloradocommunitymedia.com The legendary Trail Dust Steak House is biting the dust — literally.

The eatery known for its tasty sirloins — and for cutting off men’s ties if they were foolish enough to wear them into the restaurant — is being demolished this week.

About to rise in its place: ViewHouse 2.0, a Centennial version of the popular ViewHouse restaurant located in LoDo. Construction work on ViewHouse 2.0 is slated to begin next month and the new restaurant plans an early summer opening.

Corri Spiegel, Centennial’s economic development manager, said city officials are “really excited” about the new restaurant coming to Centennial. “This is really going to be a great addition to the city,” Spiegel added.

Located at 7101 S. Clinton St. just east of I-25 between Arapahoe and Dry Creek

roads, ViewHouse 2.0 will be a larger version of the original Denver ViewHouse, which opened in the spring of 2013 at 2015 Market St. near Coors Field.

The Centennial restaurant will be built on the lot occupied for more than three decades by the Trail Dust, which closed in December 2009.

A sign posted at the Trail Dust’s entrance warned, “Danger: Neckties enter at own risk.”

View House owner François Safieddine has designed ViewHouse 2.0 to take full advantage of the lot’s spectacular mountain views.

The new 16,000-square-foot bistro will offer rooftop dining, outdoor activities similar to those from the flagship location and two large banquet rooms for private parties and events.

The two-story restaurant will have floorto-ceiling glass windows, skylights, fire pits, water features and a large number of TVs tuned to sporting events.

The owner says the bar and food offerings will be adjusted to accommodate the new location’s demographic, including an

Lust, greed, murder, faith and redemption 21st Century score and strong band carry stories at Ignite Theatre

if you go “See What I Wanna See,” a musical by Michael John Chiusa, plays through March 9 at the Aurora Fox, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora.

Performances: 7:30 Fridays, Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $27/$19, 720-362-2697, www.ignitetheatre.org. Recommended for ages 15 and over.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ignite Theatre is presenting a Regional Premiere of the musical, “See What I Wanna See” by Michael John LaChuisa, based on three short stories by Japanese short story writer Rynosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927).

This is not by any means a musical in the “My Fair Lady” sense however, but what the New York Times described as a “chamber musical… with music never meant to be hummed.”

Five actors/singers weave their way through three tales, which occur in medieval Japan, 1950s Manhattan and 21st century New York.

The intimate studio theater at the Aurora Fox lends itself to the work, with well-planned projections providing the settings from the great gate at Kyoto to various locations in Central Park, NYC. The final act seems most effective as a priest (Steven Burge), who has lost his faith after 9/11, creates a hoax — predicting that a miracle will occur in the park on a specified date. The concept gives distraught people something to look for.

But first, we hear Japanese

Steven Burge, playing an uneasy priest, meets disturbed CPA, portrayed by Brian Walker Smith in Ignite Theatre Company’s “See What I Wanna’ See” as they await a miracle in Central Park. Courtesy photo drumming and see two ill-fated lovers, who contemplate ending their lives. Chanel Karimhani and Brian Walker Smith carry this scene and will probably grow more comfortable with medieval Japan as a stylized location.

Most of the first act is based

on a story, “In the Glen,” where a murder occurs — in 1951 Central Park, and there are three different perceptions about what happened to a couple who had just seen the new movie, “Rashomon,” which offers a similar, and wellknown, story.

Karimhani and Smith connect with a shady thief, played by Daniel Langhoff and we hear an account by a janitor (Steven Burge) who happened by later.

While the score and voices are not operatic, the entire script is sung, accompanied by taut,

moody music.

As Act II opens, a shattered priest is in the park, soon after 9/11, explaining that he is not celebrating Mass — “Bless Me Father” — and that every word in his world is missing a letter. His faith is evaporating.

Karihami appears as a druggedout actress and Smith as a ragged, delusional CPA (“God doesn’t see me. Nobody listens. One day you wanna blow the world away…”)

Langhoff is a reporter sent out to view the miracle.

The strong addition to this act is the priest’s Aunt Monica (Lisa Mumpton) a militant left-winged non-believer who sings a great “Glory Day.” “See What I Wanna See” is interesting theater, with the darkness of a Sondheim production and poetic lines. The staging and presentation, directed by the talented Robert Michael Sanders still has some rough edges, but we commend Ignite and Sanders for delivering an imaginative, thought-provoking evening.

Mardi Gras madness comes to Main Street Littleton will again be site of annual event

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants are once again bringing Bourbon Street to Main Street, with 10 establishments ready to get their Mardi Gras on Feb. 28 and March 1.

“It’s a celebration among communities,” said HDLM President

Greg Reinke. “The whole neighborhood comes, and we get to party and have a good time.”

Mardi Gras, which translates literally to “Fat Tuesday,” is a period of exuberance, and perhaps of excess, in the days before Ash Wednesday, when life is supposed to become more austere until the day before Easter, when Jesus is said to have arisen from the grave.

In Littleton, it means bands, baubles and Louisiana brews and bites. In Tea is even serving King’s Cakes, into which are traditionally baked tiny toy babies. Originally,

Pirates girls end season on court Englewood loses battle with league-leading Elizabeth

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com The Pirates battled hard through the entire girls basketball game against Elizabeth although the Cardinals were well ahead on the scoreboard and won, 66-27.

“It was a tough night but they came out and played hard,” Englewood coach Thomas Rode said after the game.

“With all this team went through this season, it would have been easy for them to just toss in the towel when Elizabeth got a big lead. But our girls continued to play the best they could, to play as hard as they could and I am proud of them because they kept scrapping and battling until the final buzzer.”

The game wraps up the season for the Pirates. They finished the season with a 4-16 overall record and a 1-11 league record.

“This team set a high standard for our players for future seasons,” the coach said.

“We have five girls graduating in June and we will miss them. The good news is we had a good group of players returning and they know how hard this group worked to get to where we are today. We will take that as a starting point and build on it to keep improving as a basketball team.”

He said closing out the season against a good basketball team like Elizabeth is a good thing.

“Playing Elizabeth the last game of the season leaves a lasting impression on our players who will return next season,” Rode said. “They have seen and played against a very good team and so it helps our girls understand what we have to do to be a quality basketball team next season.”

Elizabeth came out and set the tone for the Feb. 21 game early and led 30-13 by halftime.

Englewood’s Kadie Kavinsky looks to pass the ball to a teammate despite the aggressive Elizabeth defense Feb. 21. Kavinsky got the pass away cleanly but Elizabeth won the game, 66-27. Photo by Tom Munds The Cardinals’ aggressive defense shut off the area around the basket and kept open shots to a minimum as they won the game, 66-27.

Maddie Smith was Englewood’s leading scorer with eight points plus she pulled down four rebounds. Elijah Daughtry scored seven points, blocked two shots and had four rebounds. Miranda Holman had five points and led the team in rebounds with six. Kadie Kavinsky didn’t score but

she had five rebounds, three steals and one assist.

Englewood has five girls on the team that will graduate in June, Kavinsky, Daughtry, Seande Sandos, Imani Maxey and Holman.

Kavinsky said Elizabeth was a tough team as they always seem to be and the Feb. 21 game was a tough battle.

“This season is the most fun of the four seasons I have played for the girls basketball team,” Kavinsky said after the game. “This

is the third coach of teams I have played for here at Englewood and our new coach plus the attitude of the players on this year’s team has made it a good year. Oh, we didn’t win a lot of games. But we had a great relationship and I will miss all the players on this team.”

After graduation, Kavinsky will continue her education as she has accepted a scholarship to play basketball at Midland University in Freemont, Neb.

Bruins, Warriors win medals at state Cherry Creek, Arapahoe wrestlers place at 5A state tournament at Pepsi Center

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com Cherry Creek and Arapahoe wrestlers took their places on the awards stands at the Feb. 22 finals of the Class 5A State Wrestling Tournament.

A trio of Bruins won medals. Matt Finesilver finished second at 113 pounds, while his two older brothers won championships with Mitch winning the 126-pound title and Zach winning the 138-pound crown.

Two Warriors took home medals as Jaylen Mosqueria took runner-up honors at 180 pounds and John Daniel battled back through the consolation bracket to take the fifth-place medal at 126 pounds.

Arvada West won the team title with 179 points. Pomona was second with 92 points, while Ponderosa finished third with 88 points.

Fine with gold and silver

There were two sets of Finesilver twins wrestling for the Bruins in the tournament. Josh Finesilver did not place at 106 pounds, but he did win one match and his three brothers all went to the finals, helping Cherry Creek to score 81.5 points and finish fourth in the team standings. Arapahoe placed 17th with 30 points.

Steve Finesilver, father of the Bruin wrestlers, was in the stands for the tournament.

“I am excited for all four of my sons,” he said prior to the championship round. “It has been a dream of theirs to be together in

“I went into the match like I hadn’t won anything before tonight,” he said. “Each year is different and every match is different. Winning a championship last year doesn’t help you this year.”

After graduation, Mitch Finesilber is going to Duke University. He said the Duke coaches want him to get bigger and stronger and he is fine with that request.

Joining him on the center of a podium, Zack Finesilver won the 138-pound championship match over Jimmy Rothwell of Arvada West 10-4.

“This championship was a long time coming and I visualized this win until it finally happened tonight,” he said. “Rothwell was a good opponent and was fun to wrestle.”

He said he felt awesome to represent the legacy of Cherry Creek wrestling, all his coaches and all his teammates for four years.

“I also am proud to represent my family,” he said. “All four years were awesome and this year everything came together and I won a state championship which has been my goal all four years.”

Similar to his brother, he has accepted a scholarship to wrestle for Duke University.

Arapahoe’s best finishes the state tournament at the Pepsi Center. It is amazing they are all here.”

He smiled and said he planned to be cheering as hard as possible when each of his three sons battling for championships took the mat.

Mitch Finesilver squared off against Jess Hankin of Coronado for the 126-pound state championship. It was a match between two wrestlers who had met numerous times before. This time Finesilver won

the match and championship, 1-0.

“It was a challenge. He was explosive and we knew each other well so it was really hard to get an advantage,” the Cherry Creek senior said. “I was happy to get the win but all the hard work that went into my wrestling career plus the great relationships I had with my teammates and my coaches meant more to me that the medal.”

The victory marks Finesilver’s second state title. Last year he won at 120 pounds.

Arapahoe senior Jaylen Mosqueira, in his fourth and final year with the team, took some time before talking about finishing second at 180 pounds.

“It’s good to finish second but it isn’t the championship and I wanted to win the championship,” he said. “It was a tough match but I feel I could have wrestled better.

Warrior team where everyone supports and cheers on everyone else.”

He said after graduation he hopes to go to college to play football.

“Wrestling helped me be a better football player,” he said. “It helps physically plus it helps mentally for times like these.”

Warrior John Daniel lost his opening match, but won four of five consola-

“It was a tough match and I knew I needed the point I got when I escaped right at the end of the second period,” he said after his fifth-place match. “I am a junior so I have another opportunity to come back and do better at the state tournament next year.”

He said he began wrestling in eighth grade and loves the sport.

“I don’t play any other high school sport,” he said. “In the spring, I wrestle freestyle and in the fall I wrestle with my club team. Wrestling is my sport. Between now and next high school season, I am going to work to improve my wrestling techniques, particularly my double-leg takedown.”

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A recent workplace success can open some doors that were previously closed to you. On a personal level, expect to receive some important news from a longtime friend and colleague.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Put your wounded pride aside and do what you must to heal that misunderstanding before it takes a potentially irreversible turn and leaves you regretting the loss of a good friend.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) One way to kick a less-than-active social life into high gear or rebuild an outdated Rolodex file is to throw one of your wellorganized get-togethers for friends and associates.

Freedom Week inspires teens Sertomans award cash prizes in essay contest

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com South metro eighth-graders proved they take their freedom seriously by sweeping the top awards in the 2014 Sertoma Freedom Week essay contest.

Megan Koch of Cresthill Middle School in Highlands Ranch and Annalise Betts of Powell Middle School in Littleton won first place in their respective regions, each beating 15 other finalists and earning the right to read their essays for the large gathering of proud parents and Sertomans at Pinehurst Country Club on Feb. 18.

Betts wrote about her great-grandmother, who emigrated from Greece in 1922.

“To her, freedom meant escaping from the Turkish military terrorizing her island when she was a teenager. To me, freedom is not only an achievement of our bravery during the American Revolution, but a gift that can be savored and shared. This gift includes the right for me to receive an education, develop my own opinions and believe in my own religion.

“These liberties contribute to my background and experiences, which form my

personality. Freedom empowers me to express my individuality and to show that I’m different than everybody else. It allows me to make my own choices, learn from my own mistakes and live my own life.”

Koch spoke of the many women who have struggled for freedom over the years, from Susan B. Anthony to Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

“Freedom means giving somebody the pen to write their life story,” she wrote. “…

My parents taught me to write my future with the power of my heart, helping others along the way.”

Proud mother Lori Koch said she wasn’t at all surprised her daughter was taking home top honors, along with the $300 first prize.

“She’s always had a lot of ambition,” she said.

Organizers say theirs is the largest Freedom Week luncheon in the country, involving 14 clubs from both the Central Colorado and Front Range districts. This was their 31st such event.

“The purpose of Freedom Week is to involve our community in a celebration of liberty, the central concept of our nation’s historical beginning,” they wrote in the event flyer. “We strive to promote an awareness of how our lives have been enriched by the premise of freedom.”
