BRONCOS HAVE REAL HORSEPOWER

Bill aims to change concealed carry rules Measure in state Senate would eliminate need for gun owners to get permits

Residents find ‘best for less’ in used goods Couple renovates kitchen with donated material

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Janene Newell and Scott Collins, a couple from Littleton, renovated their 200-square-foot kitchen with rich, oldworld furnishings donated to a nearby Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

The couple was initially quoted $100,000 for the remodel — they ended up spending less than half.

“The demographic was the cause of our success in the Littleton ReStore location,” Newell said, referring to the highquality inventory in the thrift store.

The stores are generally located in areas of higher-income households. In Douglas County, where the newest location recently opened, the median household income was $102,961 in 2013, according to the American Community Survey. Arapahoe County had a median household income of $60,651 in 2013 and Jefferson County’s was $68,984. All were higher than Colorado’s median household income overall, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore — which opened about a month ago at 8585 S. Poplar Way, Highlands Ranch — has had about 100 donations, according to Andrea Belbusti, store manager.

It’s the fifth ReStore to open in Metro Denver, but the first to share a loading dock with Goodwill. The idea is to make it easier and more convenient to donate items. ReStore accepts large home goods, such as furniture, cabinetry, appliances and tools, whereas Goodwill takes clothing, electronics, books and smaller items.

“We noticed a lot of people in this area

A bill making its way through the state Senate would eliminate the requirement for concealed carry permits for gun owners.

Senate Bill 16-017 is sponsored by state Sen. Tim Neville — a Republican from south Jefferson County who recently announced a bid for the U.S. Senate — and his son, state Rep. Patrick Neville, a Castle Rock Republican.

Tim The measure would allow Neville a person who legally possesses a handgun under state and federal law to carry a concealed handgun in Colorado without applying for additional permits.

If the bill were to pass both chambers and be signed into law, a person Patrick who carries a concealed Neville handgun would have the same carrying rights and be subject to the same limitations that apply to a person who holds a permit to carry a concealed handgun under current law. That includes the prohibition on the carrying of a concealed handgun on the grounds of public schools.

“This is an ability for people to defend themselves without paying a tax,” said Tim Neville of his bill, which has been referred to as “constitutional carry.”

“No other constitutional right requires a fee to practice,” he said. “There is no fee for free speech and there shouldn’t be for the Second Amendment.”

Despite repeated attempts, Patrick Neville could not be reached for Gun continues on Page 11

Donations are sorted in a back room of Habitat for Humanity ReStore and Goodwill’s shared space in Highlands Ranch. “It’s the quality of donations that we are getting down here,” said Ryan Smith, chief retail officer of Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

Photo by Alex DeWind with nearby ZIP codes were scheduling to have donations picked up,” Belbusti said. “Our goal is to have a ReStore within five miles of a potential donor in the South Metro area.”

That way, people can easily drop off donations and also shop for items in “perfect shape,” said Ryan Smith, chief retail officer.

Belbusti agreed: She sees mostly furniture, cabinetry and tool donations in good condition and of high quality.

A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY

FACES AMONG US

HELLO

A glimpse of the people in our community

...

My Name Is

KAREN PAVONE Highlands Ranch resident, auto broker What I do I’m a New York transplant, and I’ve lived in Highlands Ranch for 18 years.

What’s interesting about my situation is that at almost 54 years old, an age when some people are contemplating retiring, I reinvented myself in a new profession after taking care of my own family and my aging parent.

My profession is an auto broker with Auto Trek of Littleton. Just like a real estate broker or a stock broker, auto brokers in Colorado are licensed professionals who help buyers through the process of finding, buying and financing an important life purchase.

I’m giving this a go and seeing where it takes me.

When I’m not working I now have the time to devote to myself and to my career — I’ve come full circle. My children are grown and both my parents are unfortunately gone. It’s just my husband and I and no one needs my time and energy so I can refocus on myself.

I love to sing karaoke — I go to local bars with friends and we have a great time. I’m also very into genealogy. I’ve traced many branches of my family history and I’m always discovering new connections. Right now I’m researching into the Salem Witch Trials — I’m finding that I’m related to some of the people involved.

It’s fun.” Photo by Chris Rotar Meet Karen Pavone, a 54-year-old Highlands Ranch resident who is reinventing her life and focusing on her career as an auto broker. Courtesy photo My Move to Colorado We moved here for the company my husband worked for in New York.

For the first year, it was a great big adventure.

I’d never been here before so I was going on faith and trust that it would be the right decision.

I just headed west.

Colorado’s been a wonderful place to raise my family — my children were involved in sports and activities.

It would’ve been more difficult to achieve that living on Long Island. We’ve really enjoyed the experience.

Finding space to shoot gains urgency Firearms enthusiasts seek safe, legal outdoor areas

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Nine years after joining the Douglas County 4-H sport shooting program, Sedalia resident Brooke Taylor, 17, is preparing to compete in the national championships for air pistol.

“I think some people might be a little bit scared of firearms if they’re not used to being around them, which is understandable,” said Taylor, who also shoots .22-caliber pistol and compound bow in the 4-H program. “That’s why I think it’s a good idea to get kids involved early to know that guns are safe if you use them in a way that’s good.”

Taylor is one of about 200 Douglas County youths involved in the 340 different shooting projects offered by the county’s 4-H program. About 60 adult volunteers lead the program, which is the fastest growing 4-H program in Douglas County.

“It’s not just Douglas County,” said Brenda Kwang, 4-H extension agent for Douglas County. “It’s growing nationally, and Colorado is leading the country.”

But finding safe and legal public outdoor space to practice has become a growing concern throughout the southern Front Range, which covers Douglas, El Paso, Jefferson, Park and Teller counties.

Because Douglas County has no outdoor shooting range open to the public, Taylor and most 4-H shooters practice on a friend’s private property on Highway 105 in the southern part of the county.

“The indoor range, DCF Guns in Castle Rock, is the closest place to do some indoor shooting,” said Troy Taylor, Brooke’s father. “But it is pricey and small compared to having outdoor space.”

Legal spaces improve safety, protect land Competition, team building and leadership opportunities are driving interest in sport shooting, which reaches about 420,000 4-H youths nationally, Kwang said. But Douglas County also has a large contingent of adult recreational shooters who — like their youthful counterparts — need places to practice their sport.

The need for legal public shooting space is crucial to help prevent accidental deaths and destruction of land, according to county officials, who are working to address the issue.

“We know that there is recreational shooting occurring, and we know a lot of people are shooting illegally,” said Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge, who participates in recreational shooting sports. “But it’s not that people want to be illegal, they just want to have an opportunity to shoot. So we hope to open up an opportunity for them to be safe and legal.”

The board recently voted to participate in the Southern Shooting

Brooke Taylor, 17, is one of 200 Douglas County 4-H sport shooting participants. Sport shooting is the fastest growing 4-H program in the county. Photo by Shanna Fortier Partnership to help provide safe and responsible sport shooting across the southern Front Range.

The organization, formed in 2015, is a group of land-owning public agencies that focus on recreational shooting issues. Agencies included in the partnership are the U.S. Forest Service, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Bureau of Land Management, Denver Water, Colorado Springs Utilities and the five counties.

“We’re looking to create multiple locations where shooting sports is an allowed use as opposed to an illegal use,” said Andy Hough, environmental resources coordinator of Douglas County’s division of open space and natural resources. Hough is also the chairman of the board of the Southern Shooting Partnership.

But creating these safe shooting areas is not going to happen quickly. A clear timeline has not yet been established.

Partnership has education component The partnership must first identify areas where recreational sport-shooting activities may be inappropriate, such as those close to caves, trailheads and camping sites. The partnership also plans to develop a cooperative information and education program that promotes safe and responsible shooting. Education is a big focus of the partnership’s mission.

“There is increasing demand for all outdoor recreation — hiking, camping, fishing…” Hough said. “There’s more competition to be able to recreate in all these different ways and we need

to make sure lands are managed appropriately and the competing recreational uses can be conducted safely and courteously.”

Illegal shooting can destroy land, county officials said.

“Many times, people will bring out targets because they want to shoot at something that we don’t want shot up for multiple reasons — old trash, TVs, computers,” Partridge said. Controlling the types of targets allowed in a legal shooting area helps control debris and prevent trees from being shot up in the forest.

While protecting the land is a high priority, the safety of shooters and nonshooters is top of the list.

In 2015, Glenn Martin, a 60-yearold Monument man enjoying the July 4 holiday weekend with his family, was killed by what was apparently an errant shot as he waited to roast marshmallows at Rainbow Falls Park campground in Pike National Forest, about 50 miles southwest of Castle Rock. The area where Martin was shot was supposed to be a non-shooting area.

Creating safe shooting areas on open land could help prevent accidental deaths like Martin’s, Partridge said.

“We’re trying to create a balance of safety to protect the shooter but also those who don’t shoot and want the safety and security,” Hough said. “The bottom line is that the popularity of the Front Range is increasing, use of public land is increasing, all recreation is increasing — and we’re trying to be good stewards of the land and provide safe environments for everyone.”

HOW TO FIND LEGAL SHOOTING SPOTS Regulations for shooting on public land differ from agency to agency and area to area, based on recreational uses, environmental concerns, agricultural interests and many other factors.

Generally speaking, shooting is illegal on county-owned land — specifically in Douglas County — and water utility land. It is legal on some land owned by the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service and designated areas of Colorado Parks and Wildlife land.

Sandy Holcomb, Highlands Ranch Metro District Park Ranger, and Zach York, a 15-year-old Boy Scout, work together on a native bee nesting project. “She was a very good mentor,” said York. Photos courtesy of Linda York

Local Boy Scout earns Eagle Award for handmade bee nests Zach York’s project will help repopulate bee community in area

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Zach York had a personal goal to get his Eagle Scout award by the time he was 14.

He wanted to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather — who died when York was 11 months old.

In November, the freshman at Mountain Vista High School reached his goal: He received the Boy Scouts’ highest award for building eight native bee nests that will last up to 30 years and help repopulate the bee population in Highlands Ranch.

“I was interested in bees before,” said York, who earned the award a month before his 15th birthday, making him about two years younger than the average Eagle Scout.

“I know that the population has declined, so I thought it would be good to help the bee community.”

Four thousand native bee species pollinate 80 percent of flowering plants, such as fruits, nuts and vegetables, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Native bees vary in shape and size.

There’s worldwide concern about the shrinking number of bees because of a disorder that kills adult bees in colonies, leaving a live queen with only immature bees, the Department of Agriculture reports.

Colorado, too, is experiencing the phenomenon.

“The population in Colorado mimics the national losses, which have been running between 35 percent and 45 percent for the past eight years,” said Beth Conrey, president of the Colorado State Beekeepers Association.

Which is why York’s project — which focused on native bees that typically nest below ground and in tube-shaped formations — is so important, Conrey said.

The great thing about these bees is if “you build it, they will come,” she said.

“It will be interesting to see who moves in there.”

York worked closely with local park

ranger Sandy Holcomb, who’s been a beekeeper for 10 years, to create surface nests for native bees.

“We gave him the project and he had to modify it to be creative as well as provide something we were looking for,” she said.

“He funded the project and had a crew ready to go.”

York started his project in June. He raised $130 from bake sales and asked for donations from businesses, such as Home Depot. He kept a detailed log and presented his findings to a Boy Scout board.

Once approved, York and his team of fellow Boy Scouts built eight native bee nests out of wood and bamboo.

The nests were intricately designed with measured blocks of wood, hand-drilled holes and pitched roofs. Some had an open front with bamboo, circular holes stacked in layers. The tight living corridors were suitable for the small bee pollinators.

Each nest was then placed on a 2-foot wooden stake in areas of the Plum Valley and West Fork Big Dry Creek open spaces in Highlands Ranch.

They are expected to last many years

t o R C and can be rebuilt if needed, according to m g Holcomb, who will take over the project.

“It’s something that we can do over time i o and if we need to have backup, we can set up another nest,” she said. “This has some d longevity to it.” s York’s parents, Linda and Dan York, were r impressed with their son’s choice of project.

Linda recalled her son walking into sev- p eral businesses asking for donations.

B “To see your kid struggle with talking to e a manager, you just want to jump in and r help,” she said. “But you can’t. And it builds b confidence and leadership.” s York, who spent about 60 hours on his Eagle award project over four months, h plans to focus on school and reassess his c Boy Scout membership when he’s 18 years c old. If he decides to continue, he will be a t Venturer Scout. s For now, he’s proud of his achievement d and personal growth. e “It was a little scary at first, but after a c little while it got easier,” he said. “I learned leadership skills and how to talk to people R in the professional world.” a

Resolution for teacher time survey fails to pass

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Douglas County School Board member David Ray’s attempt to take a closer look at how teachers’ classroom time is affected by lesson planning and completing tasks associated with evaluations failed to pass on a 4-3 vote split between the board’s senior members and three newcomers.

“I think the majority of the board sees a need to address the issue of protecting teachers’ time so that they can maintain their focus on our learners,” said a disappointed Ray, a former principal in Douglas County. “Unfortunately, four of the members couldn’t find the middle ground to pass this resolution that is providing a great deal of hope for our teachers.”

But the topic prompted a great deal of discussion, and both sides say it is likely an agreement can be reached.

“I think the idea has excellent potential,” board member Doug Benevento said. “I thought the execution of it in the original resolution needed some work, but I’m hopeful that we can get something done.”

Ray said he has received hundreds of emails and Facebook communications from staff and community members applauding the resolution, which would have surveyed teachers about the demands on their time, such as evaluations, and effects on the classroom.

Benevento questioned whether Ray’s proposal was solely to look at the time that goes into teacher

Unfortunately, four of the members couldn’t find the middle ground to pass this resolution that is providing a great deal of hope for our teachers.”

evaluations — which he supported — or if it was a wider examination of the entire pay-for-performance system.

He offered an amendment that Ray called “a complete rewrite as opposed to suggestions for revisions” and that several members said altered the spirit of the initial resolution.

“My resolution was an attempt to clarify what we were looking at and also look at a broader spectrum of activity,” Benevento said. “I don’t know if that wasn’t included in the original resolution, but it wasn’t clear to me. I want to be clear about what we are looking at. I want to be clear so it encompasses the full spectrum of the activities that are locally, state or federally required.”

Benevento’s amendment failed to pass, also by a 4-3 vote but with Jim Geddes joining Ray and the other newcomers, Wendy Vogel and Anne-Marie Lemieux.

All board members discussed the importance of evaluations continuing to meet federal and state laws.

Vogel called Ray’s proposed resolution “probably the most significant and important

David Ray, Douglas County School Board member resolution that this board has seen in six years.”

She was disappointed it didn’t pass but encouraged by the board’s discussion.

“We were having lots of talk about kids in the classroom and how their education is being impacted by district incentives,” Vogel said. “That’s the first time those kinds of conversations have taken place in a really, really long time.”

Board members and Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen encouraged Ray to take the discussion into account and bring a revised resolution back to the board in the future, “I appreciated that the superintendent offered to work with her staff to help develop some language that could be presented as a joint resolution,” Ray said. “I believe Dr. Fagen has heard clearly that there is too much extra work being placed on teachers and she has communicated that this was not the intent of district initiatives.

I believe this good faith effort on her part to find some common ground where we can provide our teachers some much-needed relief is encouraging.”

Business wins spot on ‘Shark Tank’

area and three in Highlands Ranch. I now live in Phoenix because our second Major Mom location is here.

Major Mom pitch aired on ABC show Feb. 5

By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com Angela Cody-Rouget, a former resident of Highlands Ranch, started her organizing business Major Mom in 2006. She’s featured on this season’s “Shark Tank,” a reality TV show on ABC that lets entrepreneurs present an idea in front of a panel of “sharks,” or successful business owners, who can then choose to invest in them.

Cody-Rouget’s episode aired Feb. 5.

The show averages about 10 million viewers. “Shark Tank” has helped the success of small businesses, such as “Tipsy Elves” ugly Christmas sweaters, the “Scrub Daddy” and the “Breathometer” smartphone-compatible Breathalyzer.

Major Mom asked the Sharks for $150,000 for 20 percent equity but, unfortunately, CodyRouget left the show without a deal.

What’s your background?

I was born in Florida near Orlando. I was always very organized and neat growing up.

It showed because my sister was the exact opposite. She came out naturally chaotic and I came out putting order to things.

In the ‘90s, I was stationed at Colorado Springs Schriever Air Force Base and Lowry Air Force Base. I was a major in the Air

Major Mom, an organization business started in Highlands Ranch, cleans up a cluttered basement. Additionally, Major Mom works on closets, garages, kids’ rooms, kitchens, offices, storage rooms and cars. Courtesy photo Force. I was also starting a family in Highlands Ranch. We lived in Palomino Park off Quebec and C-470. We attended Lord of Life Christian Center and were involved with the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce.

What’s the story behind your business?

My nickname became Major Mom after my daughter Lily was born. I’d be gone for long weekends and when I got home,

my husband would say, “Major Mom is back!” That nickname has stuck since 2003. Eighteen months after, I had my son and decided military life and motherhood were no longer compatible.

Unfortunately — or fortunately — my husband’s real estate business went under and he told me I was going to have to go back to work. We decided we were going to start a residential organizing company because we know how much more people

can enjoy homes, offices and cars when they are organized.

We started Major Mom in 2006.

We have one person that will go to the location to estimate the cost and amount of time it will take. We do a lot of unpacking to help the new homeowner get the home great from the get-go.

Twenty-five percent of our business is unpacking and the rest is people who need help organizing their home so they can really enjoy their families and lives. We have 25 employees in the Denver

What was it like being on ‘Shark Tank’?

I applied for “Shark Tank” last March. The application process included a video and an incredibly long application telling them everything about my business.

They review the application, which took months, and then they asked more information.

For two months, I was really in the application process. After going through phases, I was selected to go out to Los Angeles to rehearse and try out last September. Out of around 40,000 applicants for season seven, only 350 to 400 entrepreneurs were picked. Only a segment of those go on the show and get selected.

I was terribly nervous, but I think with my military background and training I was able to channel all those nerves and butterflies into very high energy.

The sharks, or judges, didn’t intimidate me because I knew I was passionate about my business and I deserved to be there.

But I certainly was nervous about being treated poorly.

I can’t tell you how it turned out, but we expect our business to grow. We’ve never met anyone who said, “Why would anyone hire you?” Ninety-nine percent of people that learn about us say, “Oh, man, I could really use you” or “Oh, man, my mom could really use you.” So many people live in clutter and they don’t know what to do.

ReStore

renovating their home and find it “nice to have a location close by.”

“We recently donated three pieces of furniture,” Lindy said. “And when our son went to college, we bought him a washer and dryer from a ReStore.”

Centennial resident Liz Strole, purchased kitchen appliances at a South Metro ReStore. She prefers to donate to Vietnam veterans, but she plans to take advantage of the new ReStore location.

“Now that this place is close, we will probably donate more,” she said.

For some, such as Newell and Collins, donating is a way to avoid waste and reuse items. Collins, a retired professional tennis coach, calls it “the best for less.”

Their kitchen is now equipped with a Wolf stove — a high-end appliance that can cost thousands of dollars — two ice makers, soft-close cabinet doors and rich, wooden cabinetry.

Newell, an HGTV channel devotee, doesn’t like when items from homes are sent to the dump. Instead, she prefers to repurpose materials.

“It’s a great way to help — the whole idea is to help other people,” she said. And “we could’ve never afforded our remodel otherwise.”

Board condemns tweet about teacher on DCF account Board wants responsible party punished; DCF says account was hacked

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com In response to an ugly tweet about a district teacher made from the account of the Douglas County Federation of Teachers, the Board of Education approved a resolution Feb. 2 condemning hate speech of any kind against district teachers and demanding the person responsible be held accountable.

“It was a 7-0 vote that I think should sting the Douglas County Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of Teachers because it clearly demonstrates that the board policy is that they need to do an investigation that needs to be transparent,” board member Doug Benevento said.

Teachers’ union officials say its account — which has since been deactivated — was hacked by an unknown person and the tweet did not come from one of its members.

When asked by Colorado Community Media for clarification about the details surrounding the incident, DCFT Vice President Kallie Leyba said the union did not see the tweet on the feed.

“As soon as the tweet was brought to my attention I deactivated the account,” she said. “We regret that our security failures have resulted in this event and believe we have taken all precautions

DOUGLAS COUNTY COLORADO

possible to prevent something like this happening in the future.”

On Jan. 12, the DCFT said it was tweeting at a meeting of the District Accountability Committee — a group of parents, teachers and community members that advises the district on spending issues — from its official account @Dougcofed.

A tweet was posted on that account that referred to a district teacher as resembling a “penis” and subsequently in the same tweet as a “douchebag,” according to the district.

On Jan. 18, board President Meghann Silverthorn and Vice President Judith Reynolds sent a letter to the union, condemning the tweet.

The Douglas County Federation sent a letter Jan. 19 to the board explaining the tweet did not come from a member and that the union does not know how or why it was posted on its account.

“DCF has a track record on social media of addressing issues and facts, and while we have not agreed with the direction of the district administration over the past several years, we do agree with you wholeheartedly in condemning the content of this tweet,” the letter read. “We have taken steps to tighten up the security of all of our social media and have apologized to the individual that was mentioned in the tweet.”

Benevento said he is skeptical of the union’s explanation of a hack.

“Its not just about one teacher,” Benevento said. “This is about the message that they send out that says if you’re not 100 percent on board with the DCF, being slurred is a possibility.”

VOICES

LOCAL

‘One more’ beats voice of defeat The other day I left my condo and headed for the gym. It is just a short walk from my building to the gym, and the back door of my building usually sees a lot of skier traffic returning from a day on the hill. That afternoon was no different as I found myself holding the door open for guests and neighbors who had their hands full of skis, poles, boots and kids.

And then as I made my way up the path, I ran into an amazing elderly woman carrying her skis on her shoulder like a pro and making her way down the path toward the condo, slowly but solidly for sure. I would never venture a guess as to her age, but her spirit and energy were that of an 18-year-old.

I stopped and asked the woman if I could help carry her skis into the building and, still wearing her ski boots, she smiled brightly and said, “Thank you very much, but I think I have at least one more walk in me.” Then she laughed and added this, “Plus, I have to show my husband I still have one more in me too.”

Wow, what an inspiration for a workout.

How many times had I gone to the gym in the past and shortened my time on the

treadmill or stopped short of the number of reps I wanted to do?

You know how it goes, right? I plan on doing 45 minutes, and at 38 minutes I convince myself that was good enough. Or I plan on doing 12 reps and get to 10 and say that’ll work. It’s so easy to talk ourselves out of doing just one more, Michael Norton isn’t it? And I mean “one more” anything.

WINNING But not that day. My WORDS friend carrying her skis inspired me to complete one of the best workouts I had in a long time. It was a little more time on the treadmill and a few more reps in the weight room, because as it turned out, I did indeed have at least one more in me too.

We all have at least “one more” in us, don’t we? We have at least one more sales call to make each day, one more friend to reach out

to, one more customer to serve, one more employee to thank, one more hug to give, one more smile to share, one more person to forgive, one more minute to listen, one more moment of patience, and one special person to love on just a little more. We all have “one more” something inside of us.

Now obviously, there are times when we have to listen to our bodies and know when we have had enough. Our awesome ski patrollers here will tell you, it’s always that “one last run” that can get someone hurt.

When the legs are done, it’s always better to take that “one more run” the next day. And if we are driving, it’s always better to have that “one more” drink at home so we don’t risk hurting ourselves or others.

When it comes right down to it, it is that personal drive, that inner belief, and that tiny voice that can either tempt us to quit early or push through and beyond our goals and self-limiting beliefs. And that tiny voice can be so powerful and convincing when trying to get us to give up, that tiny voice can be a real smooth talker, if you know what I

Valentine’s Day heart to tolerate

Valentine’s Day is around the corner.

If you need someone else to tell you when to be romantic, you’re hopeless.

True love doesn’t happen once a year, in the middle of Craig Marshall Smith the shortest QUIET month.

The same DESPERATION goes for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. If you truly care for your mother and father, it’s

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Mother’s Day and Father’s Day every day.

The worst of the worst in this is giving someone a greeting card with a prewritten sentiment.

That’s the opposite of romance, and it’s disrespectful of every love song I have ever heard.

But millions upon millions disagree with me.

And millions upon millions will be spent on cards, flowers, chocolates and other baubles, all born out of a neglect for the deeper meanings of day-after-day devotion, passion and yearning.

It’s sort of like only going to church on Christmas or Easter.

Unfortunately, half of us are misbehaving.

League of Women Voters urges participation At 7 p.m. March 1, Colorado will be one of 15 U.S. states and territories that will participate in Super Tuesday — the mega media date when most states hold primary elections or state caucuses to determine their preference for presidential candidates and other national and state offices.

In Colorado, that means precinct caucuses.

Unlike other states that conduct primary elections, Colorado conducts precinct caucuses, a grassroots process that give voters the opportunity to meet in groups to advocate and vote for political candidates that will represent them in the 2016 election.

Caucuses used to be held in houses or small community halls, but today’s events are usually held in larger places to accommodate more participants.

At a caucus, participants: • Speak on behalf of their favorite candidates • Vote for their favorites • Elect delegates to the next political countywide assemblies and convention. They also discuss and consider resolutions to be

comment.

The bill passed a Senate committee 3-2 on Jan. 27. The Senate Finance Committee heard the bill Feb. 2 and it again passed with a 3-2 vote.

Next stop for the bill in the Republican-controlled Senate is the Appropriations Committee. If the bill were to pass the full Senate, it faces a tough audience in the Democratcontrolled House.

Democrats in the Senate have spoken out against the measure.

“Our permitting system for concealed weapons carry enhances responsibility by making sure applicants demonstrate the ability to safely use a gun before they are allowed to conceal it from plain view,” said Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Westminster. “It also ensures greater safety by making sure the applicant is not a known threat to society.”

Ulibarri believes that if this bill passes, it could put residents in danger.

Provisions that the bill would eliminate

• Who can attend? Anyone who is a registered voter in the Democratic or Republican parties. While there are other political parties in Colorado, the Republican and Democratic parties are designated “major parties” based on the number of votes each party received in the 2014 election. Also, Colorado does not allow unaffiliated (independent) voters to participate in a caucus. If you did not register with a political party by Jan. 4, 2016, you can’t participate, but may attend.

This year, there’s another caveat. While Democrats will continue to conduct their presidential candidate polls, the Colorado Republican party will not. The reason?

The GOP requires that the Republican candidate who wins the caucus must be supported by the delegates at the GOP national convention. But by the time

include: background checks and fingerprint verification, the requirement to demonstrate competence with using a handgun, and the ability for Colorado sheriffs to deny or revoke permit applicants when an applicant has a protection or restraining order against him or her at the time of application.

As of last November, eight states have “constitutional carry”: Vermont, Montana, Alaska, Texas, Arizona, Wyoming, Arkansas and Kansas.

Vermont has had “constitutional carry” since 1791, and Kansas was the most recent state to pass the law.

Colorado is among 23 states where legislators have introduced or are planning to introduce “constitutional carry” bills.

“I’m not sure if it makes (society)

safer, but I would believe that a bill like this makes society freer,” Neville said, adding that three of the states that already have “constitutional carry” border Colorado. “Currently we have the ability to open carry in the state, and it seems a little ridiculous that if someone puts a coat on, they become a criminal.”

State Sen. Michael Merrifield, D-Colorado Springs, who was involved in the original drafting of Colorado’s concealed carry statute, said the passing of the bill would make Coloradans less safe.

“Our current system of concealed carry permits has already enabled thousands of law-abiding, responsible gun owners to obtain their concealed carry permits,” Merrifield said in a news release. “This bill would eliminate

The ones who don’t, get a warning.

How’s that for acceptance? Pretty low on the charts, I admit.

Tell me you care for me on the 13th and the 15th instead.

Valentine’s Day was actress Karen Valentine’s idea.

No it wasn’t.

I wonder what kind of attention Valentine has received every Feb. 14.

“The day was first associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages (Wikipedia).”

The history of Valentine’s Day is far more interesting than what it has turned into. Pre-made, store-bought objects and confections.

Isn’t that what you just did in December?

I am a big believer in making some-

thing with your own hands.

“But I don’t have an imagination.”

You don’t need one.

Spell “I love you” with Cheerios, on the breakfast table.

Or create a heart with rose petals or Red Vines.

Giving a woman a silver balloon should be a misdemeanor.

There was a Beanie Baby on my porch one year. Dachshund.

Tell me. Have I ever given you the impression that I might like a stuffed animal?

And don’t tell me it was for Smitty.

Those things are filled with spider eggs.

At least that was the rumor.

Actually they are filled with plastic pellets.

Smitty would tear the thing apart,

New federal data shows 2015 was a record year for the American firearms industry, with gun sales appearing to hit the highest level on record. According to the FBI Criminal Background Check System, background checks for gun purchases and permits jumped 10 percent in 2015 to 23.1 million, the largest number since the federal background check system began operating in 1998.

In Colorado, 342,839 background checks for firearms were approved in 2015 by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. That’s 33,000 more than 2014. those common-sense measures, and create a loophole to allow dangerous and/or untrained individuals to carry concealed, loaded weapons in public.

I’m disappointed my Republican colleagues voted against the will of the majority of Coloradans by supporting this out-of-touch bill.”

which would be fine with me, and I would be vacuuming pellets for weeks, which would not be fine with me.

Is the Loveland post office still canceling stamped envelopes for lovers?

The Vermont Teddy Bear Company is the largest seller of teddy bears by mail order and the Internet.

Their “Fifty Shades of Grey Bear,” which you can find on their Valentine’s Day page, comes with a gray suit, a satin tie, a mask and handcuffs.

n some days, Dr. Robert Pratt sits in his Denver-area home in front of a tablet as he diagnoses patients for possible strokes at up to 15 different HealthOne affiliated hospitals.

Today, Pratt, a neurologist, is calling into the emergency room of Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, where a decision on whether to administer a potentially lifesaving clotting drug to incoming patients has to be made within an hour of arrival.

With the tap of a finger on the tablet screen, he zooms cameras in and out to focus on different parts of the body. He turns them right and left. He can flash images and words on the screen in the ER to gauge different neurological responses. He can order tests and prescribe medications instantly. If needed, an onsite nurse or doctor can lend a hand, but Pratt can handle nearly all of his examinations on his own.

“When we first started using it people used to be like, `Wow, I’m on TV,’” said Pratt, who added the technology allows him to be at bedside virtually. “We would get reactions like that. But now, people are perfectly comfortable.”

Pratt and the team at Sky Ridge’s emergency room are part of a growing trend of doctors and medical facilities offering patients telemedicine services.

With robotic cameras controlled through computer software programs and other technological tools, doctors can reach patients in remote or rural areas who otherwise wouldn’t have access to a certain specialist, like a neurologist.

“The old way was, you got on the phone and talked to someone,” said Dr. Adam Barkin, medical director of the emergency department at Sky Ridge.

“You had to describe everything. This is a much better way because this allows the consulting physician to do their own observation ... The key is to get that neu-

Though the technology has been around in different forms for nearly a decade, in recent years, increased comfort with technology and online video chatting has opened up a new world of pa-

tients who are not only comfortable with — but would sometimes prefer — an online appointment, Pratt said.

Efforts to find patients to talk to were unsuccessful because of the emergency and neurological nature of how technology is currently being used.

Care and convenience Samanth Lopolis, telehealth director of Centura hospitals, said Centura uses telehealth technology in outpatient settings as well as such emergency situations as strokes, and including pulmonary, cardiology, concussion management, sleep clinics, urology, genetic counseling and pre- and post-surgical consultations.

Centura facilities also use the technology for critical care for doctors who can’t be on call 24 hours a day but can visit the hospital virtually to make rounds.

Although telemedicine is largely limited to rural areas and specialist consultations and exams, Centura hopes to expand its use in coming years.

Bug talk isn’t for the young or prudish Entomologist Mike Weissmann’s talk “There’s No Sex Like Insects” is billed tongue-in-cheek as a Valentine’s season event. But it’s actually a sometimes-explicit look at fascinating and bizarre arthropod behavior — and is meant for an adult audience. It will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Feb. 19 at the Audubon Nature Center at Chatfield, 11280 S. Waterton Lane. (Across from the Martin-Marietta plant at the south end of Wadsworth Boulevard). Wine and snacks will be provided. Weissmann is cofounder and former curator of the Butterfly Pavillion and Insect Center in Westminster and an affiliate faculty member at Colorado State University, where he earned his doctorate. Cost: $15 Denver Audubon members, $18 nonmembers, 303-973-9530, info@denveraudubon.org.

“If you’re in south Denver and you wanted to see a specialist that is in Thornton, that could easily take you an hourand-a-half in traffic,” Lopolis said. “We are giving it to patients as a choice and a convenience, and it’s up to them whether they want to see a doctor in person or if they would prefer to not have to drive. We really see it as a way to offer patients choice and convenience.”

According to Lopolis, health insurance laws only allow for reimbursement of telemedicine for patients in rural areas or in situations where they otherwise wouldn’t be able to see a specialist.

Auditions for dancers Denver Ballet Theatre’s Summer Intensive program will hold auditions, according to David Taylor, who runs surers to reimburse health care providers for telehealth services in counties of all sizes. Previously, Colorado law had required reimbursement only for counties with 150,000 residents or less.

“Last year, legislation was passed (in Colorado) that all commercial payers, non-Medicare, will be required to reimburse for telehealth services in urban areas beginning in 2017,” Lopolis said. “What we all expect is that now we can offer telehealth to patients as a convenience.”

Neurologists are zebras According to Amy Maxe, service line director of neurosciences at Littleton Adventist Hospital, Centura has cameras at facilities throughout the state.

The facilities with cameras don’t have neurology coverage in their hospitals or their communities. Littleton Adventist provides the neurologist for all of these facilities remotely.

As the technology advances, doctors treating patients not only across the state but also from across the country will become more commonplace, Pratt said.

A patient in California will be able to see a specialist in New York without leaving his or her hometown.

“As long as I can get a good Internet connection I can work,” Pratt said. “Medicine and treating patients is the same, regardless of what state you are in.”

But doctors must be licensed in each state they practice, Pratt said.

From a nursing perspective, telemedicine is helpful because it allows nurses to diagnose a patient in a more comprehensive manner, said nurse D.J. Sasso, assistant vice president of neurosciences and cardiovascular services at SkyRidge.

Information: Allison Smith: asmith299@student.cccs.edu.

“In some of the rural areas that only have nurse practitioners or PA (physician’s assistant), they utilize this technology as quick access to a physician,” Sasso said.

Another benefit to telemedicine, health professionals say, is cost savings.

According to Rebecca McBride, the telehealth program coordinator for Centura Health, the typical cost of a machine is between $20,000 to $30,000 — a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time specialist.

“I think telemedicine is the next frontier of where medicine is going to go, especially for the rural hospital or a critical care hospital that doesn’t have certain specialists,” Barkin said. “You’re going to see more and more about telemedicine on a regular basis with our behavioral health patients, too. We actually do remote assessments for psychiatric patients that need evaluations. Just like how neurologists are rare, like zebras, not every hospital can have psychologists or behavioral specialists.”

Hanging in there is theme of exhibit

‘Lasting Impressions’ show is tied to longevity of popular American play

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The next play scheduled at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton is an American classic: George Kaufman’s and Moss Hart’s “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” a perennially popular comedy that first opened on Broadway in 1939. In keeping with the show’s longevity, the next art exhibit scheduled for the Stanton Gallery at THAC is called “Lasting Impressions.”

Four metro-area artists will collaborate on this show, which runs from Feb. 17 to March 30 in the gallery on Town Hall’s first floor. They are Charlotte Strauss, Kathleen Lanzoni, Kathy Cranmer and Bronwen Jones.

Charlotte Strauss, of Lakewood, describes herself as a contemporary realist. She started drawing, painting and doing art projects as a child and enrolled in an oil painting class at 11. By 13, she was entering competitions and later majored in art at the University of Colorado. She has been an active member of the Art Students League of Denver, studying with Quang Ho, Kim English, Rob Gratiot, Jane Jones, R.S. Riddick and John Lencicki. Vivid color and attention to detail are her trademarks.

Kathy Cranmer is a watercolorist and botanic illustrator who “tries to create art that celebrates the beauty of the world around me. When creating a botanical illustration, I strive to render the subject in a manner that is scientifically accurate and highlights its unique beauty. My still life paintings juxtapose botanical subjects, often from my garden, with China, crystal and other man-made objects of beauty.” She wrote that her “Morning

IF YOU GO “Lasting Impressions” will hang in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton, from Feb. 17 to March 30. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Mondays through Fridays and during performances. A meet the artists reception will be Feb. 20 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Information: 303-794-2787, townhallartscenter.org.

Shadows” is a watercolor “inspired by the morning light reflecting off objects sitting on my kitchen table on a chilly winter morning.”

Kathleen Lanzoni is a watercolorist who paints in the studio and en plein air (on location outdoors). She grew up in Montreal and California and “for over 24 years has enjoyed endless subjects to paint that living in Boulder, Colorado offers.” She studied at the Art Institute of Boston and Massachusetts College of Art. She is a signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and Western Watercolor Society and also belongs to Plein Air Artists, Colorado American Watercolor Society and National Watercolor Society.

Bronwen Jones writes that she purchased her first watercolor painting on a trip to Italy in 2004 with her daughter and “was inspired to make watercolor a part of my life.” She started attending workshops and often works from her own unusual point of view. Art in light and shadow interests her and she often works from her own photographs. She paints landscapes, city scenes and coastal North Carolina. She is a Colorado Watercolor Society member and officer.

“Jump for Joy” is a happy city scene expressed in watercolor by Bronwen Jones. It won a Colorado Watercolor Society award in 2015 and is included in the “Lasting Expressions” exhibit at Town Hall.

‘Paint Day’ gatherings bring artists together

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com

For a number of years, the Heritage Fine Arts Guild has conducted for its members an uninstructed “Paint Day” held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each Thursday morning (except July and August) at Ascension Lutheran Church, 1701 W. Caley Ave. (northwest corner at South Windermere Street) in Littleton. Free parking is available on the north side of the church and on the street.

“These sessions enable aspiring artists to paint in a supportive, noncompetitive environment, exchange ideas, share skills and form friendships with other participants. The sessions are free of charge,” said a release from the Heritage Fine Arts Guild’s publicist, Judy Purcell.

Artists bring their own media and supplies (the room is equipped with tables, chairs and a sink and is on the lower level of the church).

Interested artists are welcomed to membership in the HFAG, which has been in the community since 1974. For information, see heritage-guild.com. Individuals at all levels of arts experience are welcome.

The guild, supported in part by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, hosts monthly meetings with demonstrations (second Wednesdays) and spring and fall art shows at Bemis Library in Littleton. Also: workshops with arts professionals and exhibits at several Adventist hospitals and the annual “This is Colorado” exhibit in cooperation with Arapahoe Community College’s Colorado Gallery of the Arts (Oct. 10Nov. 3.).

Jaguars win first league swim title Kochevar, Heritage’s Andrews share spotlight with three wins

Rock Canyon senior Abigail Kochevar helped the Jaguars win their first Continental League girls swimming championship Feb. 6 at the Heritage pool. Kochevar won two individual events and swam the anchor leg for Rock Canyon’s 400-yard freestyle relay team. Photo

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Abigail Kochevar and Rock Canyon had a banner day at the Continental League girls swimming championships Feb. 6 at the Heritage swimming pool.

Kochevar, a senior who is the defending 100-yard backstroke state champion, won two individual events and anchored a winning relay team as the Jaguars captured their first ever league swimming title.

Rock Canyon, coached by Nicole Vanderpool, finished with 510.50 points with Regis Jesuit placing second with 429 points. Heritage was third with 416.50 markers.

Kochevar, who was named the league’s Swimmer of the Year, was first in the 50yard freestyle and the 100 backstroke with times of 23.63 and 54.98 respectively.

She was also on the Jaguars’ league championship 400-freestyle relay team.

When she dove into the pool for the anchor leg she was well behind, but she wound up stretching to touch first at the finish to edge Heritage swimmer CJ Mitchell.

“I was not expecting that at all,” Kochevar said of the relay finish. “It was like an adrenaline rush. I saw her a little bit and then just tried to kick as hard as I could.

“The 100 back is my best event, but the 50 free was pretty good. I feel like I could possibly win both the 50 free and 100

back at the state meet. I hope so. It was so much fun for Rock Canyon to win. We’ve never won before, so it’s obviously exciting.”

The Class 5A state championships will be held Feb. 12-13 in Fort Collins, and there will be at least one other Continental League swimmer who will be a serious contender.

Kochevar shared some of the spotlight at the Continental League championships

with Heritage sophomore Kylie Andrews, who also won three events. Andrews set a pool and league record of 1:50.43 in finishing first in the 200-yard freestyle. She also won the 100 butterfly and was on the Eagles’ first-place, 200-freestyle relay team.

“It was a fun race because there were great vibes and all my season training paid off,” said Andrews. “So then it was like both of the races felt good.”

Andrews’ teammate, junior Emma Spotts, won the 100 backstroke.

Mountain Vista had two individual winners. Senior Jamie Nats captured the 100 freestyle, and sophomore Natalie Arky was the league 200 IM winner.

Highlands Ranch coach Andy Farner was tabbed the league’s Coach of the Year, and the Falcons also had a league champion in freshman Dani Roney, who won the 500 freestyle.

Highlands Ranch girls trounce Regis Jesuit Falcons’ determined defense takes team to 65-24 victory

opening quarter, took a 14-2 lead and never looked back.

“That was our goal, to pressure them and get them to panic,” admitted Falcons senior Symone Starks. “Our defense is so important. You can’t get off without stop defense. We try to rotate as fast as we can and talk to each other.”

By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com There was a long wait for the Continental League girls basketball showdown between Highlands Ranch and Regis Jesuit to start on Feb. 5 in the Highlands Ranch gym.

A lengthy Level 3 game and a junior varsity contest that went into overtime delayed the start of the varsity game between two teams that entered the game unbeaten in the league.

Highlands Ranch, however, made quick work of Regis in the featured affair as the Falcons used a determined defensive effort and crisp passing to set up myriad easy baskets in a 65-24 romp.

Key players/statistics Highlands Ranch’s defensive pressure forced the Raiders into 23 turnovers and Regis shot just 19 percent from the floor.

Leilah Vigil, a 5-foot-9 sophomore, paced the Falcons with 19 points while Starks added 16 and Tommi Olson eight.

Noelle Cahill was the top scorer for Regis with five points.

Highlands Ranch, once again, had trouble at the foul line as the Falcons converted on only eight of 27 attempts.

Tenthranked Regis is now 4-1 and 11-6.

“Our kids are playing hard and that’s all I want,” said Highlands

“We’re getting better and better on defense and we’ve really took it on as a challenge that that’s an area we can get a lot better at,” said Jarocki. “I loved our passing against Regis. And we only had three turnovers in the first half, which is good too. We’re trying to cut down on those too.”

Free throw shooting for the Falcons is a work in progress.

In statistics through 19 games, Highlands Ranch was making 55 percent of its free throws.

“We practice them all the time; it’s in between their ears,” said Jarocki.

“In games we just have to slow down, take a deep breath and calm down,” added Starks.

Going forward Highlands Ranch has wins over all league teams in contention. The Falcons wrap up their Continental schedule Feb. 16 against Castle View and Feb. 18 versus Rock Canyon. Regis hosts Chaparral on Feb. 12.

Lakewood girls a tough team to defend

Lakewood girls basketball coach Chris Poisson is once again guiding another state-contending team as the Tigers move toward a fourth consecutive 20-win season.

Teams like Highlands Ranch, Grandview, Broomfield, ThunderRidge, George Washington and Pine Creek are a few of those schools that are considered challengers when the state playoffs roll around, but Lakewood should be included among those teams.

Lakewood (16-3) is averaging 63.6 points, 28.1 rebounds, 16.6 assists, 16.5 steals and 5.9 blocks per game, which are all above the per-game national averages compiled by MaxPreps.

Poisson has height on his team in 6-foot3 sophomore twins Camilla and Kira Emsbo plus three other players who are 6 feet tall, including senior captain and all-around athlete Mckenna Bishop.

And the Tigers have a terrific scorer in 5-7

senior guard Mackenzie Forrest, who became the school’s all-time leading scorer earlier this season.

Senior Marisela Perez keeps every player active with her assists and steals.

“Mackenzie is our consistent scorer, and Jim Benton she is playing her best right now,” OVERTIME basketball said Poisson. “The Emsbo twins are gaining in skill and confidence. McKenna Bishop is our athlete, and we have good shooters in Anissa Barela, Maddie Miller and Maddie Couglin. We can have a real balanced attack in terms of scoring.”

Lakewood was 5-3 early in the season,

losing to IMG Academy of Bradenton, Florida, and Vista Murieta (California) in the La Jolla County Day Tournament, and then to Grandview in the Grandview Invitational.

“Our team is improving, and we are much better than we were in December,” confessed Poisson. “Our players are comfortable in their roles now, and with our depth we can create matchups in our favor.”

Proud to be an American It was gratifying to watch the Ponderosa wrestling team while the national anthem was played prior to the Mustangs’ Continental League match against Chaparral on Feb. 4.

Almost all high school athletes and students politely stand, and most hold a hand over their heart, while the anthem is played.

Ponderosa 220-pounder Cohlton Shultz and a couple of his teammates did a little more. They were actually singing along with

“The Star-Spangled Banner.”

State swimming championships set The first two winter sports state championship events will be held Feb. 12 and 13.

Class 4A swimmers will compete in state girls swimming championships at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF FEB. 8, 2011 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A gracious Lamb can learn more about a problem-filled situation than one who is openly suspicious of what could be happening. A friend might offer some well-directed advice.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting adjusted to an unexpected change might be difficult for the Bovine who prefers things to go according to plan. But help could come from a most welcome source.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This could be a good time to get a head start on those careerrelated plans. The sooner you check out the pluses and minuses, the sooner you can act on your information.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A personal situation you thought would no longer present a problem suddenly could produce some surprises. Try to sort things out with the help of trusted colleagues.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) An upcoming move holds both anticipation and anxiety for Leos and Leonas who have some big decisions to make. Advice is plentiful, but it’s up to you to decide which way you want to go.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone from a previous project could provide valuable guidance on how to handle a current problem, especially where it might involve a legal matter.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A business situation presents some unexpected complications. But rather than try to handle them all at once, it would be best to deal with them one at a time.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You just might get what you want, despite the odds against it. In any event, be sure to thank all those people involved who believed in you and went to bat for you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Before you even hint at an accusation, remember that you’ll have to prove what you say.

So be sure you have what you need to back up your comments.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A romantic situation takes an unexpected turn that favors some Sea Goats, but causes others to reassess how they’ve been handling the relationship.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A surprise turn of events could unsettle the Water Bearer. But it also might help open up an entirely different way of working out an important matter.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A smoothly running operation could bump up against an obstacle. This is where your ability to assess situations and make adjustments can restore things to normal.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your kindness is legendary, and so is your strong sense of responsibility. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38-103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855-411-2372) or both. However, the filing of a complaint in and of itself will not stop the foreclosure process.
