Upgrades are finished at Writer’s Vista Park

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Improvements to the playground and ballfield at Writer’s Vista Park in Littleton were completed in November.

“We renovated both,” said South Suburban Parks and Recreation District park planner Steve White.

At the ballfield, upgrades include a new backstop and roofed dugouts, a new infield mix and Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant concrete work.

In the playground, an existing play area made way for two new play areas, one for children ages 2 to 5 and one for children ages 5 through 12, with new play equipment. The wood chip surface was also replaced with rubber surfacing.

White said that benches were also replaced, along with backboards on the basketball court.

The improvements began in the summer and cost approximately $390,000. They were funded

by South Suburban Parks and Recreation District and Arapahoe County Open Spaces.

The park is at 1900 W. Mineral Ave.

Teen pleads guilty to two counts of vehicular homicide Arapahoe High School graduate faces up to 24 years in prison

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Taden Jones, a teenager accused of causing a car crash in Centennial that killed two women, pleaded guilty Jan. 6 to two counts of vehicular homicide while under the influence.

“I hope Taden will take everything that has happened and become a better person,” said Nikki Hudson, granddaughter of Audrey Burton, one of the women who was killed. “I hope he can educate other people so they do not make the same mistakes.”

Jones Jones, 19, faces four to 12 years in prison on each count, a maximum sentence of 24 years.

He will be sentenced on March 13.

On April 1, Jones, then 18, was driving an Acura sedan that crashed into the vehicle driven by Burton, 77, near the intersection of South Colorado Boulevard and East Peakview Circle. Burton and her passenger, Gayle Brown Buckwal-

ter, 82, died.

“I don’t want his life to be taken away,” Buckwalter’s son, Bill, said.

“I do want him to have changes in his life so he will not do this again.

I hope he has a chance to do that.”

At the beginning of the hearing at Arapahoe County District Court, 37 people in support of both the victims and the defendant were present, forcing the hearing to be moved to a larger room in the courthouse.

“He is horrified,” said Jordan Macomber, a close friend of Jones since middle school. “He is a strong person, but he is very scared to face the charges. He is ready to face it because he knows he needs to pay for the things he has done.”

According to the arrest affidavit, Jones, a 2015 Arapahoe High School graduate, admitted to having three beers before the crash. Jones was also found to be in possession of a fake South Carolina driver’s license that said he was 23.

Blood samples were taken from Jones shortly after the crash. A report from the lab responsible for the blood testing estimated Jones’ blood alcohol content at the time of the crash was 0.10 — the legal limit for drivers 21 and older is 0.08, while it is 0.02 for those under 21. Jones also tested positive for the use of marijuana and alprazolam, a prescription sedative used to treat

anxiety that is commonly known as Xanax.

Jones faced two counts of DUI vehicular homicide, two counts of reckless-driving vehicular homicide, one count of DUI, one count of reckless driving, one count of possession or consumption of alcohol by a minor and one count of possession of a forged instrument.

The plea deal dropped all charges except the two counts of vehicular homicide while under the influence.

Suzanne Rogers, Jones’ attorney, said a large amount of remorse was shown by the defendant. Rogers said Jones and his family have written letters to the victim’s families but they cannot be sent due to a protection order.

“At first, it was disbelief that he found himself in the situation,” Rogers said. “As more time went by, and more remorse set in, he had a really hard time with it. He cried

a lot. He said that he didn’t know what was going to happen in his life, but he knows that he has to pay for his mistakes.”

After Jones pleaded guilty, court officers passed boxes of tissue around the room as tears fell from friends and family members of the defendant and victims.

“I have been really good friends with (Jones) since middle school,” Macomber said. “He is a very good person. He found himself in a situation that he cannot come back from. He is going to have a hard time forgiving himself. He told me he wishes he never got in the car …

I cannot explain the remorse that comes from him.”

For Hudson, the hearing helped bring a measure of healing.

“It was really emotional to hear them say my grandma’s name today and to hear Taden say that he was guilty,” Hudson said. “It helps bring a sense of closure.”

Littleton explores fire department merger with South Metro Agencies are in a ‘data collection’ phase of discussions

Crews from Littleton Fire Rescue and South Metro Fire Rescue often work together on calls. Here, they are shown fighting the Dec. 27 fire at the Chili’s Bar and Grill in Highlands Ranch.

The two agencies are amid discussions of a possible merger.

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Littleton City Council is in talks about the possibility of a merger between South Metro Fire Rescue, Littleton Fire Rescue and Cunningham Fire Protection District.

Over the summer, South Metro officials approached LFR Chief Chris Armstrong about the possibility of unifying the departments. Armstrong spoke to the city council at a September study session and was given the go-ahead to participate in conversations with South Metro.

Littleton city spokeswoman Kelli Narde said the jurisdictions are merely in the preliminary phases of discussing the possibility and are looking at things like possible station locations.

“At this point it’s about data collection,” she said.

South Metro Fire Chief Bob Baker said bringing the departments together could improve service and uniformity throughout the area, and a larger organization would have more resources.

Armstrong said at the September

ALEX DEWIND

study session that it was unknown how a merger would affect service or existing LFR employees.

“That’s really the intent of the conversation — what does it look like?” he said. “Frankly I think we would be doing a disservice to not sit at the table and help drive that conversation.”

Sherry Eppers, community relations manager of the Highlands Ranch Metro District, said the possible merger is intriguing.

“Since fire and emergency services are the Metro District board’s top priority, we are interested in continuing to efficiently provide very

Former Jeffco district attorney arrested Scott Storey cited for DUI

by Littleton police

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton police arrested Jefferson County’s former district attorney, Scott Storey, on New Year’s weekend on suspicion of drunken driving.

The arrest happened at about 12:30 a.m. Dec. 31 after police responded to a motor vehicle crash in the 5900 block of South Santa Fe Drive, which is near Bowles Avenue in Storey Arapahoe County.

As Storey was leaving the parking lot of the Platte River Bar and Grill in a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee, he struck the side of a 2001 Toyota 4Runner that was heading southbound on Santa Fe, according to the police report. One person in the Toyota sustained a “slight abrasion on the right side of his forehead, but said he never lost consciousness and refused medical treatment,” the report states.

Storey declined to do voluntary roadside maneuvers on scene, the report states, and he was transported to the Littleton Police Department where he completed a breath test that indicated

his blood alcohol level was over the legal limit.

After receiving medical clearance for jail from Littleton Adventist Hospital, Storey, who was 69 at the time of the arrest, was taken and booked into the Arapahoe County jail. He bonded out just before noon on Dec. 31. His bond was $1,000.

Storey faces charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and failing to yield to the right of way of oncoming traffic. His next court date is a bond hearing on Jan. 17. An arraignment hearing is set for 8:30 a.m. March 2 in the Arapahoe County courthouse.

He served two terms as district attorney for the 1st Judicial District, which covers Jefferson and Gilpin counties, after he was elected in 2004.

He left the office in January 2013 because of term limits.

Storey works with the 1st Judicial District’s district attorney’s office as a part-time deputy district attorney.

A call to Storey earlier this week for comment was not returned by press time.

Pam Russell, spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office, stated that the office is in the process of collecting and evaluating facts on the case. District Attorney Pete Weir will take appropriate action once all the information has been gathered, Russell said.

high-quality services,” she said. “We look forward to the possibility of a unification proposal being developed by and for the participating providers. If the proposal seems like the best option for the long-term service to Highlands Ranch, there will be a significant evaluation process, including public input.”

South Metro Fire Rescue covers a 179-square-mile service area spanning parts of Aurora and Centennial, parts of unincorporated Arapahoe and Douglas counties, and Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, Lone Tree, Parker, Castle Pines and Foxfield. Approximately 203,500

residents live within its boundaries.

Littleton Fire Rescue’s area covers a 92-square-mile area with about 220,000 residents in Littleton, Highlands Ranch, west Centennial and portions of unincorporated Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties.

The smaller Cunningham Fire Protection District covers a 14-squaremile area of Centennial and unincorporated Arapahoe County with approximately 75,000 residents.

The boards of all three fire agencies, plus the Highlands Ranch Metro District and Littleton City Council, would have to approve the merger.

Legislative session opens with uncertainty Funding for roads expected to be a priority

BY JAMES ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

With one eye on a $500 million state budget gap and the other on Washington, Gov. John Hickenlooper and a split Colorado Legislature enter the 2017 lawmaking session with little expectation of fiscal reform and plenty of uncertainty over transportation, the state’s Medicaid bills, affordable housing and illegal pot sales.

Last year, Report Hickenlooper and fellow Democrats tried and failed to loosen Colorado’s strict spending rules by declaring a $750 million hospital fund off-limits to tax rebates. They wanted the money for aging roads and underfunded schools.

The governor dropped that idea from his proposed $28.5 billion budget this year, as lawmakers prepare to face more tough spending choices during their four-month session that began Jan. 11.

As it stands, Hickenlooper’s budget requires $500 million in transfers, cuts or delayed spending on transit, health care and other programs. All of it must comply with the state’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, which limits the revenues the state can take without voter approval.

The governor and new leaders in the Republican-controlled Senate and Democrat-led House are floating the idea of asking voters to approve a tax to update Colorado’s highways. The state’s to-do list for roads has an $8 billion and growing price tag to fund delayed road and bridge repairs and pay for envisioned new road projects.

Legislators from both parties say they’re keenly aware that traffic gridlock is a top priority to voters.

“Obviously the need is something both sides are aware of — painfully aware of,’’ incoming Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City, told a group of business owners Jan. 5.

There are signs the parties could finally agree on a way to promote affordable condo and other housing construction — a pressing issue for the fast-growing state with rapidly rising housing costs. Colorado home values have gone up 10 percent over the past year, according to real estate data firm Zillow, which predicts they’ll rise another 4 percent over the next year.

In recent years, lawmakers have tried unsuccessfully to reform state laws that allow developers to be sued for construction defects. Both sides agree it’s too easy under state law for renters and homeowners to sue — and that has contributed to skyrocketing housing costs.

Leaders of the House and Senate say they are optimistic they can change those laws this session to promote housing construction.

Capitol

Q&A with state representatives Susan Beckman Jeff Bridges Susan Beckman, who was elected in November to represent House District 38 in the Colorado General Assembly, is a Littleton resident and former Arapahoe County commissioner. She is a consultant whose district encompasses Bow Mar, Columbine Valley, most of Littleton and part of Centennial.

Her first session at the Capitol started this week.

What are the two most important issues the Legislature must tackle this session and why?

Transportation infrastructure funding: Higher prioritization in the state budget for transportation infrastructure is needed.

It is wrong that a $27 billion state budget was adopted last year with less than $200 million for road construction projects. We cannot sit by and watch our transportation infrastructure deteriorate.

Reform of Colorado’s unreasonable regulations: A major challenge in our area is the availability of housing options. There is a need to greatly modify the destructive construction-defects law that was passed in 2008. We must ensure a market driven economy and availability of attainable home ownership options that are not hindered by regulation and manipulation.

Describe a bill you plan to sponsor that is particularly important to you.

I am running legisla-

tion regarding protective orders in dependency and neglect (D&N) cases.

Currently a district court judge may issue a “no contact” order to prevent contact between parties in a case where there is proven abuse and neglect. Violation of the order is civil and not enforceable by law enforcement. The focus of this legislation is not only to protect and provide due process for all parties in a narrow situation of child removal or protection but also to provide a safe and sustainable environment where the court can safely reunite the child with a parent or family member.

After everything is said and done, what will constitute a successful session?

I was honored to be named the ranking member of the Health, Insurance and Environment Committee at the state Legislature. Major changes in Washington will require the legislature to rethink Colorado’s health care system. Under the Affordable Care Act the cost of health insurance policies and high deductibles have made quality care cost-prohibitive to many residents. Medicaid recipients are finding limited availability of service and increased wait times. A successful session will involve the HIE Committee’s leadership to move Colorado forward to a more affordable, competitive, transparent and private-sector-focused health care system.

Incoming House Speaker Crisanta Duran, a Denver Democrat, told the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce that she’s optimistic lawmakers can hammer out a compromise on the longdebated developer-liability question.

But she added that developers shouldn’t expect a friendlier Democratic House under her leadership.

“I stand strong against taking away consumer rights,’’ Duran told the business leaders.

Plenty of attention will be paid to health care, and both Democrats and Republicans say they need to study how they can prepare for a possible repeal or other changes to the Affordable Care Act this session.

The Democrat works as a consultant and will represent Englewood, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, Sheridan and parts of Littleton and unincorporated Arapahoe County.

What are the two most important issues the Legislature must tackle this session and why?

I believe governing is about listening. During the election, I walked hundreds of miles and talked with thousands of voters. The top concerns I heard were increasing funding for education, expanding renewable energy jobs and improving transportation infrastructure.

That’s why I’m serving on the Education Committee and the Transportation & Energy Committee. More importantly, I gave my cell phone number out on every flier during the campaign and it hasn’t changed — call or text anytime to share what’s important to you at 303358-5551.

the needy costs the state $6.4 billion annually. One in five residents is already on Medicaid, and nearly 1.5 million residents will depend on it this year.

Western Slope residents pay some of the highest premiums in the country under the health law — and they have only one provider. Lawmakers will be under pressure to help without clear guidance from Washington.

Hickenlooper also is asking legislators to crack down on the so-called “gray’’ — if not outright illegal — pot market. He cites liberal rules on the number of marijuana plants recreational users and caregiver can grow, and he contends drug cartels are taking advantage of those rules to export Colorado pot harvests to other states.

campaign spending by shadowy special interest groups is a big part of why they feel that way. In my race alone, nearly a million dollars was spent by outside organizations. My first bill is a campaign finance reform bill. It will shed more light more quickly on how much outside groups are spending and where their money comes from by expanding disclosures for electioneering communications. We need a major change in our politics and a fresh perspective in our government, and this bill is part of the effort to make that happen.

After everything is said and done, what will constitute a successful session?

The Denver Post reported that the legislative session last year was the most partisan and least productive in our state’s history.

That’s not how government should work. I’m a Democrat, but the first bill I’m co-sponsoring is a Republican’s. Good ideas come from all sides, and our leaders ought to care more about the people they represent than partisan politics. Growing up here in Colorado I learned values like opportunity, independence and responsibility. I look forward to working with people across party lines around those shared values. Together we can build an even better Colorado.

Car stolen from RTD Urgent Care and ER. parking lot in Littleton Together at Last.

153 vehicles were reported stolen in Littleton in 2016, seven from RTD lots

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Davis Bonner returned to the Parkn-Ride lot at the Mineral Avenue RTD station in Littleton the night of Dec. 29 to find that his car was gone.

There was no broken glass on the ground where he had parked, just an empty space where “Scooby the Subie,” his beloved dark blue 2000 Subaru Impreza had been parked, just three rows down from the pedestrian bridge from the lot to the station.

“This was not an inconspicuous location,” said the Colorado State University student, who was staying at his parents’ house in Littleton over winter break.

Bonner’s Subaru become one of 37 vehicles stolen from the Regional Transportation District’s 79 parking lots throughout the area in 2016, according to district spokesman Scott Reed.

There are cameras in the lot, and Bonner contacted RTD and spoke with an investigator who said the crime was caught on video.

“We are doing a video investigation,” he said.

Reed said that most car thefts that occur in RTD lots are captured on video.

Littleton Police Cmdr. Trent Cooper said that in 2016, five vehicles were reported stolen from the Mineral lot, and two from the city’s downtown RTD lot.

PREVENTING CAR THEFT

According to the Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Authority, about 12,000 motor vehicles were stolen statewide in 2014, down from more than 20,000 in 2005.

Always Open.

According to AAA Colorado, it only takes 47 seconds for a thief to steal a car. AAA recommends never leaving a car running and unattended, never leaving spare keys in a car and parking in well-lit and highly trafficked areas.

Cooper said that there were 153 reports of motor vehicle theft in Littleton throughout the year, but cautioned that that number includes not just cars, but trucks, motorcycles or motorized scooters and even rental cars or trucks that are not returned. He also said that sometimes people report cars stolen when they can’t remember where they parked, and later find the car.

Cooper said there were 127 reports in 2015 and 110 in 2014.

According to Colorado Bureau of Investigation statistics, there were 108 instances of motor vehicle theft in Littleton in 2015, with four more attempted. Only five people were arrested for the crimes. There were 92 reported thefts and 12 attempts in 2014, and 94 and 10, respectively, in 2013, according to CBI. However, in 2005, there were 306 motor vehicle thefts.

Bonner is fortunate that he had fullcoverage insurance on his car, but he still wants it back.

“It’s a car that I absolutely adore,” he said.

Too close to creatures for comfort

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Coyotes lived in the metro area long before any towns or residential neighborhoods sprang up, and as their annual breeding season arrives, they are making their presence felt to many residents, human and otherwise.

In a news release, Jennifer Churchill, spokeswoman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said coyotes can become more aggressive in the months of January and February.

“As coyotes pair up to breed, they may be more territorial than usual and defend their space as they carve out a place to have their young,” Churchill said. “Citizens are well-advised to be aware of their presence and the potential for conflicts with humans in metro and rural areas.”

Coyotes have adapted to urban and suburban environments and are “opportunistic hunters” that don’t fear getting close to humans or pets, according to CPW. A coyote will adjust its diet depending on what is available, and will readily prey on pets, animal carcasses,

birdseed and plants.

This time last year, parks and wildlife received calls of a young girl nipped by a coyote in Centennial, an aggressive coyote stalking a grandmother and her grandson in Aurora, and four separate incidents of a coyote baring its teeth in Lakewood. There have been more than 25 reports of people being bitten by coyotes in the Denver metro area since 2007, according to CPW. Though they tend to be bolder and more protective during this time of year, coyotes are timid by nature and residents who come in contact with them are encouraged to haze and frighten the animals to drive them away.

Arapahoe County assessor steps down

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Corbin Sakdol was lauded by colleagues and friends for both his competence and his sense of humor at a retirement ceremony on Jan. 6, his last day as Arapahoe County assessor.

Among those who paid tribute to the outgoing assessor were county commissioners Nancy Jackson and Nancy Sharpe, former commissioners Nancy Doty and John Brackney, Sheriff David Walcher and Sakdol’s successor, Marcus Scott.

“I want everyone to know how well-respected he is throughout the county,” said Jackson, the District 4 commissioner. “He is truly a gentleman and a scholar.”

Jackson added that Sakdol had a knack for making numbers interesting in his presentations to the board of county commissioners.

Sakdol is a Littleton native who graduated from Littleton High School and Arapahoe Community College. He began working in the county assessor’s office as a commercial appraiser in 1990. He was elected assessor in 2006 and re-elected in 2010 and 2014.

He served as president of the Colorado Assessor’s Association and was honored by the association as assessor of the year for 2012.

“It has been an extreme honor that voters elected me to serve as assessor for this great county,” Sakdol said in a statement when his retirement was announced in November.

Scott, formerly the county’s chief deputy assessor, was appointed by the commissioners in December to finish Sakdol’s term, which expires in January 2019.

Former Arapahoe County Commissioner John Brackney, left, and retiring County Assessor Corbin Sakdol, reminisce about the county employee soccer team they started in the 1990s.

Englewood police find missing children Amber Alert subjects located, mother arrested

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood police reported the two children who were subjects of an Amber Alert, 12-year-old Joseph Dinapoli and his 8-year-old brother

Johnny, were found unharmed and their mother, 38-year-old Rebecca Dinapoli, was arrested as a suspect in the parental kidnapping case.

According to the report, the Englewood Police Department received an anonymous tip about the location of the mother and the two children about 10 p.m. Jan. 8. Officers investigated the tip and located the boys and their mother at a location in the 5700 block of South Pennsylvania Avenue.

Rebecca Dinapoli was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County jail. She could face a number of charges, including kidnapping.

Police began the investigation about 5:40 a.m. Jan. 8 when it was reported that Rebecca Dinapoli had allegedly kidnapped her two children from the home of their grandparents in the 4900 block of South Galapago Street. The officers investigating the report were told

there is a court order prohibiting the mother from having any contact with her two children. According the report, the order was issued because the woman abuses drugs and has mental health issues.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation issued an Amber Alert about 9:20 a.m. Jan. 8, asking anyone who saw the mother and the children or the car she was driving to call 911.

New director named for Arapahoe Libraries

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Arapahoe Libraries Board of Trustees has named Oliver Sanidas executive director following a national search.

Sanidas has been with Arapahoe Libraries for eight years, as associate director of digital and materials services, and was one of Library Journal’s 2015 Movers and Shakers. He was

also awarded the John Iliff technology award by the American Library Association.

He said he was honored to be director of a district that has served the community for more than 50 years. Arapahoe Libraries has eight branches in Centennial, Sheridan, Sanidas Deer Trail and unincorporated Arapahoe County, serves

249,278 residents and has a circulation of 4.7 million items a year, according to its website.

Former Executive Director Nicole Davis, who was Library Journal’s 2016 Librarian of the Year, left last summer to become executive director of the larger Charleston County (South Carolina) Public Library, which serves 390,000 people and plans to renovate 13 libraries and build two new ones.

Voters in the Arapahoe Library District agreed to raise their own taxes in 2015, increasing the system’s budget by 25 percent, under Davis’ leadership.

“The board of trustees is confident that Oliver’s wide range of experience, education and skills will positively contribute to the future of Arapahoe Libraries in particular and libraries in general,” said board president Katie Schroeder.

VOICES

To find true significance, lean on instincts and on help from others WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

O

K, here we are a couple of weeks into the new year. And over the past year we shared thoughts and conversations around dreams and goal setting, personal successes and achievements, challenges we have faced in our own lives or with family members and friends, hope and encouragement, and so much more.

The community has responded in so many ways, and thankfully most of those responses have been very positive. For some, although they appreciated the insights and encouragement, they are very satisfied right where they are now. Others replied and shared their successes achieved and/

or their plans for pursuing their goals and dreams on their way to success. And finally some of you shared your powerful stories about moving beyond being satisfied and successful as you journey toward significance.

Synonyms for “significant” could include “notable,” “noteworthy,” “important” or “of great importance,” and even “remarkable.”

And many authors and experts have talked about the move or journey from success to significance. For those who want to push beyond success and move toward significance the question is this: How do we make that leap?

Now as you read this column you should know that you are already significant. You are already significant even if you can’t see it or believe it about yourself. Many of us tend to be modest and would rather not be recognized for our significance. And for some who just can’t see it or believe it yet, it could be because we haven’t heard it enough from others or maybe we have never really read the definition of significance before.

You are remarkable, you are noteworthy, and you are of great importance.

Again, many authors and experts have SEE NORTON, P11

GUEST COLUMN

inally had my last day at the Capitol today, and I only cried twice. That’s pretty good for me, considering I’ve been known to cry at baby commercials. Now I’m pretty sure you’re not crying I’m leaving, and maybe you even cried when I got into office. But I can positively say it’s been a privilege and honor to represent you for the last eight years in the state Senate.

I wanted to give my thanks

to those of you who voted for me, volunteered, or donated to my campaigns. Thank you for believing in me in 2008 when no one had heard of me, and in 2012, when you received too many alluring (and deplorable) campaign pieces in your mailbox. And all the years in between calling or emailing your concerns or visiting me at the Capitol or my local town halls.

I don’t know how that happened.

I dream about people I haven’t seen in decades, doing unimaginable things.

One dream occurs several times a week, and I wish Craig Marshall it would go Smith away.

I’m teaching again, trying to manage a roomful of modern college students, and it’s always a blackboard jungle of disrespect.

I am mightily relieved to wake up.

My belief is that these dreams were cursed on me by disgruntled former students.

There were more than a few.

I wish I could tell you who invented naps, but no one knows.

Perhaps it was someone at a bored meeting.

There have been some famous naps, none more memorable than Alice’s.

QUIET DESPERATION

his is a tribute to naps.

Right after I write it, I plan to take one.

There are few things better than a nap. And they are free.

No one has ever had to pay for a nap.

Infants and the elderly are expected to take naps, but it’s frowned upon if you are a working adult.

But when I was a working adult, I took a nap a day on my days off. I may have dozed during faculty senate meetings too.

The same people who were on student council in high school are on faculty senate later in life.

New faculty are relegated to it. That’s what happened to me. But there were senior faculty who volunteered.

The agendas were always the same. We discussed the policies of polices.

In some parts of the world, naps are called siestas, and they are expected of you, even if you are a working adult.

Like I said, there are few things better than drifting off mid-day and dreaming.

My dreams are now directed

shared thoughts on how to make the leap from success to significance.

And I would like to offer you just one additional “how” when it comes to looking at how to take a step in that direction should you choose.

I am actually taking the advice I found in one of my favorite books that I had read in 2016 and passing it along to you. The book is titled “Divine Opportunity” and it is by Ryan Montague, Ph.D., and is available at

SMITH FROM PAGE 10

tures in Wonderland” was based on Alice Liddell, author Lewis Carroll’s young friend.

Carroll’s 1865 novel is a labyrinth of unmatched imagery and language.

It influenced the Jefferson Airplane, Monty Python and me.

My research about naps confirmed what I hoped would be true. They are beneficial, for lots of reasons.

There have been numerous studies, and not a single one warns against them.

One said that someone who naps regularly is 10 times less likely to say use the word “infrastructure” in public.

NEWELL FROM PAGE 10

And also thanks to those who never voted for me, but let me know what your concerns were and how I might be able to help.

Together, we were able to accomplish a lot. Just getting elected in this district is a feat for anyone, yet possible when we come together as a community. Governing (in my book) is also a joint process, and I’m lucky to have had the best constituency in Colorado. We may not always agree, but at least we can talk and brainstorm together, peacefully.

Because of that, I’m proud to say that of almost 140 bills I sponsored, 97 percent of them had bipartisan support. And the majority of them passed! Not all districts want that “purple” collaboration, but I believe we’re better because of it.

So, what’s next?

Well, some have asked me to run for higher office, some think I should go back into the private sector and actually make a reasonable living again. But for now, I’m really enjoying finishing my documentary I filmed last session about an insider’s view of the state Legislature in Colorado — what the process

Amazon.com.

Sometimes in the rush and crush of life and with the fast-paced and hectic schedules we keep, we can easily overlook an opportunity to stop and talk with someone. And that someone could be someone we know or work with, could be a friend or family member, or it could be a complete stranger. And in our busyness, it is always much easier to just keep our heads down, eyes focused straight ahead, and ear buds in so that we can avoid some of those encounters or conversations. But what I learned in reading “Divine Opportunity” is that if I am going to make an effort at really moving

beyond success and towards significance, I should learn to listen to my instincts more when I feel the nudge or calling to reach out to someone or respond to someone dealing with a situation.

We never know where our opportunities will lead us, but if we start paying more attention to the nudges and the callings and start connecting on a more personal level where and when we can, I do believe that this will help us take the very first steps from moving success and towards significance.

So how about you? Are you happy and satisfied right where things are? Are you feeling successful? And

since we know that you are already significant, maybe you can enhance your journey by finding a way to connect with more people on a much more personal level. I would love to hear all about your satisfied, successful, and significant journey at gotonorton@gmail.com. And if you decide to pick up a copy of “Divine Opportunity” and apply the principles Dr. Montague shares, it really will be a better than good week.

That’s good enough for me.

My roommate approves of my naps too. Smitty takes a nap with me, wakes up, checks his messages, and takes another nap.

Many well-known men were nappers.

Napoleon could nap at the drop of a hat.

Winston Churchill. John F. Kennedy. Ronald Reagan (no jokes, please). And my dream director, Salvador Dali.

When I was younger, I avoided naps if I could, because napping during the day affected sleeping at night.

Somehow or other, that was taken care of.

However, I haven’t gotten eight hours of uninterrupted sleep at night since Mookie Wilson was president. No. That was one of my strange dreams.

It’s been years, and probably my retirement had something to do with it.

I might be abed now at 9 p.m., and back at it around 2 a.m.

A few hours at night and I’m good, and ready to go.

But I always look forward to

spending the afternoon with my pals: Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

is like from the inside and what it’s like just being a senator.

Two things I know I’m called to do for now: educating people about what government is really like, and telling people’s stories. Over the years walking door-to-door, it became very clear that most people just don’t know what we do in the Legislature or how we do it. Not their fault, they just haven’t been exposed to it. So I’d like to help with that, from the inside.

And there’s no better way to do that than sharing people’s stories.

We live in our own bubble so much nowadays that we hardly know what our co-worker or next-door neighbor is really like. Can you imagine how much better we could get along with a bit of insight into others’ lives?

So for now, I might be done in the state Senate, but I’m not done yet, as they say. You might even see more of me, who knows?

Very grateful to have served you …

or Mike Scheid and his family, which includes three teenage girls, spending time on the ski slopes is a family tradition.

“It’s a fun time to build memories, get away from the phones and spend some time in the fresh air and wilderness,” Scheid, of Denver, said after spending the day skiing with his family at Winter Park.

Scheid and his wife, Kim, both learned to ski at a young age and are now sharing the pastime with their children.

“My mother-in-law always says a family who skis together, stays together,” Scheid said. “One of the hard parts is the kids are at different levels and you have to care for each other while you do it.”

Sixteen-year-old Kayla

Scheid, who has been skiing since she was 6, said she enjoys spending time in the beautiful mountains and having fun with family.

But not all families come together on the slopes.

For Golden resident Abby Gardner, it’s about finding activities the whole family enjoys.

“My daughter hasn’t yet been bitten by the skiing bug,” Gardner said. “But (the kids) love to go sledding and just be out playing in the snow.”

Sledding is also the activity of choice for Laura Simpkins and her family because it is low cost and can be done anywhere there is a hill. The Simpkins family, who lives in Denver, also enjoys snowshoeing, which they do a lot of when visiting their

TIPS FOR SKIING WITH KIDS • Walking in skis is awkward, so practice moving around on skis. Find a gentle snow-covered slope at the resort for walking around in downhill boots and skis.

• Bring a pack. When skiing with small children, carry an extra pair of underwear (or diapers), baby wipes and mittens. Even older kids tend to get their mittens wet by lunchtime.

• Play games. The “I Spy” game on the lift is always a favorite.

• Focus on turns. Executing a solid turn is what makes skiing fun. A common mistake is telling kids to put their weight on one ski to initiate a turn. Instead, work on an athletic stance and getting skis on edge.

Skiing and snowboarding are just two of the many activities families can enjoy in the mountains during the winter months.

“It’s really good exercise,” Simpkins said of snowshoeing. “And you get to be outdoors and enjoy everything nature has to offer without paying an

WHERE TO GO Colorado has 26 ski areas and resorts throughout the state.

Kid-friendly ski resorts located at the base of mountains provide ski areas designated for young skiers, as well as childcare services.

The following ski resorts are less than a two-hour drive from Denver and have been given a family-friendly rating by colorado.com for their kid-friendly activities and slopes.

• To help children initiate turns, play follow the leader. The leader can pretend to be a favorite animal and each child picks a different animal. When turning, make noises to imitate that animal.

• Keystone

• Talk with lift operators. They are on high alert for beginning riders. If you are riding with a child or any beginner, let the lift operator know. They can slow down the oncoming chair and help you board and dismount.

exorbitant fee for it.”

Lakewood resident Carey Berry also enjoys snowshoeing with her children ages five and three.

“Both kids have snow shoes and love stomping around after it snows,”

OFF-THE-SLOPE FUN A weekend in the mountains doesn’t have to be on a slope. Colorado is home to many hot spots for snowshoeing and fat tire bike riding.

The versatility of snowshoes, their ability to put people in places they wouldn’t otherwise see at this time of year, explains much of the pastime’s growing popularity.

Rocky Mountain National Park — on the other side of the Rocky Mountains away from the traffic and big resort ski crowds along the I-70 corridor — offers several winter hiking trails to explore on snowshoe. West of Boulder, the Brainard Lake area near Ward offers snowshoeonly trails created by the Colorado Mountain Club. Many ski resorts also offer snowshoeing and other activities at their nordic centers.

Fat tire bike riding is one activity that is growing in popularity at nordic centers. The fat tire is designed to ride on loose surfaces, the obvious one being snow. The sport has been picking up over the past nine years and bikes are now readily available to buy and rent.

“They’ve started making kid versions, so users as young as 6 can ride,” said Jordyn Drayton with the Golden Bike Shop, which sells and rents fat bikes. “Less obvious is some older demographics that ride — the bikes are confidence-inspiring because they are very stable and very fun.”

she said.”We get out and sled or snowshoe or shovel the driveway as a family because it is all fun. The softness and quiet of snow is just magical and the kids are always happy to get out into it.

THERE AND BACK Bob Wilson of the Colorado Department of Transportation has this advice before you start your drive through the high country: Check road conditions.

You can do that by visiting cotrip.org to look at CDOT’s on-road cameras to see traffic conditions and what overhead signs are saying. This is also available on CDOT’s mobil app.

More than 30,000 vehicles pass through the Eisenhower Tunnel on a winter weekend day, with an average of 2.6 passengers in each vehicle.

To encourage mountain travelers to carpool, CDOT will host the second annual Mountain Rideshare Day on Saturday, Feb. 6. Travelers should stop by the Dinosaur lots in Golden the morning of Mountain Rideshare Day to get tires checked and enjoy complimentary chai from Bhakti Chai. Travelers can pick up a carpooler wristband at the CDOT station to receive discounts from participating resorts.

CDOT has partnered with the Front Range Ski Bus and Colorado Mountain Express to offer special discounts for Mountain Rideshare Day.

‘Mixed Bag’ is apt title for student show Arapahoe Community College exhibition wraps up on Jan. 13

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the holidays started on Dec. 15, a nicely installed new student exhibit was hung in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts, with top works from the fall quarter.

Appropriately called “Mixed Bag,” it includes ceramics, jewelry, paintings, photography and installations and sometimes a mix of materials and techniques in a given work, such as Tanis Rustage’s “The Sky is the Limit,” a storytelling conceptual art piece that required craftsmanship and a sense of humor, as well as a painter’s training.

There are about 44 individual pieces exhibited, including a couple of sizable installations and small intricate metal pieces by jewelry students.

Some of the latter were wearable, but others seemed to be miniature sculptures — treasures that would require a very special display spot where one would gain an up-close view.

Two installations are created by Kristi Gonzales: “Sold to the Highest Bidder,” in a corner directly across from the entrance, is a look at human trafficking. It includes a collection of tiny, toddler-sized Crocs hanging in rows. An accompanying flier says: “These Crocs are plastic, brightlycolored and perfectly manufactured.

Each one represents the innocence residing in every victim of human trafficking and that sacred piece of them is hanging by a thread, tied up in a pretty bow, waiting to be sold …”

The artist’s other installation contains a large flock of Japanese folded paper cranes, created with newspaper. It hangs in the center of the high-ceilinged gallery.

Student Kaitlin Sanders was helping gallery curator Trish Sangelo hang some paintings when we visited. She has returned to college to fulfill her need “more and more, to paint,” after five years of working with autistic students, she said. Her painting “The Final,” at four feet by six feet,

Coors Western Art Exhibit comes back for 24th year

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Coors Western Art Exhibit and Sale is in its 24th year, featuring works by 66 contemporary realists from North America and Europe on display at the National Western Complex Expo Hall, Third Floor, through Jan. 22, open during Stock Show hours.

“Community,” a gentle landscape by Diane K. Worman of Taos, is chosen as the 2017 featured artwork and is printed on the show’s official poster, available for sale. (The original will join others in the National Western collection.)

Worman’s oil painting on canvas measures five feet by four feet and

shows a snowy field sloping up to an old traditional red barn and farmhouse, with purple mountains in the background. A few black cattle dot the field, giving some perspective to how huge it is.

On Jan. 3, there was a gala reception where many of the paintings sold to area collectors. Money raised by this and other National Western Stock Show events provides scholarships for more than 80 college students in medicine, agriculture and veterinary medicine through the National Western Scholarship Trust.

In 2016, the Art Show and Sale raised $1.1 million in ticket and art sales.

Each year, the Mary Belle Grant

Don’t let your family dog become a pup-sicle How to keep fluffy friends from freezing this winter

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While your playful pup may enjoy romping in the snow, the cold weather is not the place your pet should stay for long periods of time.

Coloradans are infamous for their love of dogs. Bill Bellerdine, sergeant in charge of animal services for the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, notes this fact after receiving several calls a day during a snowstorm from people concerned for pets in their neighborhoods.

Shelter requirements The below-freezing tempera-

SHUTTERSTOCK PHOTO

tures during Colorado winters call for extra care of pets.

Bellerdine said if dogs are not inside or do not have a doggy door, it is important they have a shelter set up for winter weather.

Centennial, for instance, has an ordinance about pet safety

in the winter season.

According to the ordinance, pets must be protected from the wind, rain, sun and snow by having a shelter that is large enough for the dog to turn around, is well ventilated and clean, is structurally sound and has adequate bedding.

Animals should have access to fresh water at all times.

The size and breed of the dog has a large influence on the amount of time it should be in a snow.

Bellerdine received a call from a neighbor about a Siberian husky who was left out all day. When officials responded to the call, they discovered the dog could use a doggy door to go inside, but would rather be in the snow.

Bellerdine emphasized dogs should always have access to fresh water.

Even though Bellerdine said that 90 percent of the calls he receives about dogs left out in the cold result in no safety action needed, the calls have helped save the lives of some animals.

“If it is too cold for you to be outside,” Bellerdine said, “it is definitely too cold for your dog.”

On the leash Certain precautions should be taken when pets are taken for walks in the cold and snow.

The salt used to clear sidewalks can dry out and damage paws. Bellerdine suggested washing the paws and the bellies of pets after a walk to clean off salts and chemicals.

In the same way that people put on lip balm, Bellerdine suggested putting petroleum jelly on your dog’s paws. It will help prevent the effects of cold weather on the exposed skin.

In addition, it will protect pets with lots of fur on their paws from getting ice stuck in their feet.

Who to call If an animal is not receiving proper care in winter conditions, call Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region at 719444-0179 or your local animal control services.

Cowboy poets and performers will amble into Golden American Mountaineering Center will be venue for most events during traditional gathering

IF YOU GO THE COLORADO COWBOY POETRY GATHERING will be held Jan. 19-22 in Golden, primarily at the American Mountaineering Center, 710 10th St., Golden. See schedule in story. Tickets are for individual events or as a weekend pass, available online: ColoradoCowboyGathering.com or by phone at 888-718-4253.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Preserving the History and Tradition,” they say, is the purpose of The Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering.

Twenty-eight years ago a group of theater and history fans decided to celebrate a particularly Western American tradition with a weekend focused on cowboy heritage, as remembered in words and music — and storytelling.

The earliest performances were held at the Arvada Center. Then the event moved around a bit before finding its current, hopefully permanent, home at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden, where it will run from Jan. 19 through Jan. 22 with the theme “Where the West Lives — Golden, Colorado.”

There will be three evening performances, two full days of theme sessions and a final-day Sunday matinee featuring a cast of cowboy poets and musicians from the American West, Canada and Australia, according to publicist Jerry Cunningham.

The tradition of cowboy poetry

Cowgirl entertainer Susie Knight will perform at the Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Golden.

COURTESY PHOTO developed on cattle drives and at ranches, where workers would gather around a campfire at night and entertain themselves and each other with folk songs and stories — sometimes tall tales about adventures.

Performers this year include Floyd Beard, Jon Chandler, Doc Mehl, D.W. Groethe, Kristyn Harris, Suzie Knight, Liz Masterson and more, some of whom we have seen/heard at the Littleton Museum over the years.

The gathering begins on the evening of Jan. 19 with a members-only “meet and greet” reception and sampler showcase at Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave., Golden.

On the remaining three days, activi-

Embracing variety is something special

Alex Smith, Arapahoe’s 160-pounder, smiles after pinning his Sterling opponent during the Jan. 7 dual match wrestling tournament at Legend High School in Parker. The Warriors posted a 2-3 record in the five dual matches they wrestled and finished ninth among the 18 teams at the tournament.

TOM MUNDS

Tourney tests endurance for Warriors Arapahoe faced five opponents in dual-match wrestling meet

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Wrestling skill as well as stamina and endurance faced the test as Arapahoe and 17 other teams com-

peted in the day-long dual match tournament at Legend High School in Parker.

Each team wrestled five dual matches Jan. 7. To start the day, the 18 teams were divided into six, three-team pools for the first round of competition. After a short break, the teams were seeded based on dual-match records for the second round of pool competition. The day was capped off with a dual match for position.

KEEPING SCORE WITH...

RYAN HOLT Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete?

Michael Jordan. He was my Dad’s favorite, and watching back on what he did with the game just amazes me.

What is your favorite type of music and who is your favorite artist/group?

My favorite type of music would be country and the Zac Brown Band.

What is your favorite subject in school?

History. I just like to know about the past because it is interesting to me.

Do you play video games, and if so, which one(s)?

I like any type of game but mostly the ones with huge maps and free range like “Skyrim.”

Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals?

Take a hot shower and stretch, and I have an order in which I stretch.

What is your favorite book?

“Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief.” I just loved the book.

What are your plans for after high school graduation?

I plan to go to college and major in sports and exercise science.

KEEPING SCORE WITH... is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or some you know would llike to participate.

“This is a good tournament for us because we are a young team and each wrestler will have five matches,” Warriors coach Steve Sisler said during the tournament.

“There is no substitute for matches against another team, and our wrestlers, particularly our young kids, need that type of mat time.

Also, it lets the wrestlers experience a long day of competition and SEE WRESTLING, P21

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Holley Dennis, swimming, freshman, Mountain Vista: At the Mountain Vista Invitational at Colorado Mines Jan. 7, Dennis won the 100 breaststroke in 1:07.01, the 50 freestyle in 25.20 and swam a leg on the 200 medley relay team.

Sam Kail, basketball, senior, Littleton: He scored 44 points and half the total for the Lions, who dropped two Jefferson County 4A games. Kail scored 24 points in a 51-50 setback to Standley Lake on Jan. 5 and had 20 points in a 76-38 loss to Evergreen on Jan.7 Sam Masten, basketball, junior, Rock Canyon: He took game-high honors with 30 points in the Jaguars’ 65-58 overtime victory over Rangeview on Jan. 6.

Corey Seng, basketball, senior, ThunderRidge: He scored 30 points and pulled down 10 rebounds on Jan. 6 as the Grizzlies pulled off a 71-61 upset over top-ranked George Washington.

Micah Strahan, wrestling, sophomore, Legend: In five duals matches, he had four pins and a decision on Jan. 7 at the Legend Dual Match Tournament.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS are five athletes named from south metro area high schools. Preference is given to those making their debut on the list. To nominate an athlete, contact Jim Benton at jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com

ess Boade is a special athlete who isn’t following the trend of sports specialization.

Many organizations, including the NCAA, United States OlymOVERTIME pic Committee and professional sports leagues, have voiced their opposition to early specialization, in which young athletes train for and play only one sport.

Boade, a senior at Valor Christian, Jim Benton is an elite soccer player who committed to compete at Duke when she was a sophomore.

She has played in the Olympic Development Program and the Elite Club National League for Colorado Real.

However, she is playing on Valor’s defending Class 4A state championship basketball team and she participated in track and field last season.

She will play soccer this spring for the Eagles and not run track.

After nine games this season, the 5-foot-4 Boade leads team in scoring with 12.4 points per game. She is also averaging 2.8 assists and 4.6 steals.

“I kind of grew up playing basketball,” Boade said. “My mom played in college. I actually wasn’t going to play basketball this year. As of the first day of the season, I decided to play. It’s hard to do both. Coach (Jessika Caldwell) is awesome in helping me balance the schedule.

“In my soccer world, they all hate that I play basketball but I just think it refreshes my mind. When you do the same thing over and over you get sick of it. So many people get burned out. The other thing is both sports help each other. When you came back to soccer after basketball, there’s just something about it that I can see the play and the angles and stuff.”

Sooner or later, however, schedules conflict.

Boade will miss a Valor basketball game Jan. 20 and a state playoff game Feb. 17-20 because of a club soccer commitment.

State basketball leaders Basketball has resumed after the much-too-long holiday break and it’s time to glance at the state statistical leaders.

There are plenty of area Class 5A and 4A boys and girls ranked in the top 10 in various categories and there are a few state leaders, especially in the 4A ranks.

WRESTLING FROM PAGE 20

we get to wrestle against teams we would not see except in tournaments like this.”

Sisler said most of his wrestlers lack extensive varsity experience.

“We have a few seniors plus a lot of sophomores and juniors,” he said. “Our wrestlers are young when you figure in varsity experience and that is why the long day with five matches is so important to our wrestlers and our team. I am proud to say our wrestlers are a gritty group that works hard and gives us great efforts every time we are on the mat.

I feel our strength is the determination of our wrestlers to practice hard and wrestle hard.”

In the first round of pool competition, Arapahoe won the dual with Vista Peak 50-29 but lost the dual with Peyton 37-36. Teams were seeded for the second pool round. The Warriors lost to Sterling, 40-27 but won the dual with Widefield 42-10.

The 18 teams were seeded for the final placement round according to records.

Valley, a state-ranked 3A team, won the meet title. Arapahoe, a 5A school, wrestled Abraham Lincoln for ninth place. The Lancers won the dual meet, 42-33. ThunderRidge and Valor were also at the meet. ThunderRidge won runner-up honors and Valor finished fourth.

Gannon Gosselin is the Warriors’ 195-pounder and one of the returning varsity veterans He said this has been a good season so far for him.

He said one reason it has been good is he cut weight from about 220 and

Martin is the Class 4A boys free throw leader with 61 points coming from the charity stripe. He has made 61-of-93 attempts for a 66 percent accuracy figure. The rankings are determined by the number of free throws made and not by percentage.

Senior Travis Cowan of Wheat Ridge is the state 4A leader in steals

Arapahoe’s Matt Paulson struggles to escape from the grips of his 145-pound Sterling opponent during the Jan. 7 dual match tournament at Legend High School in Parker. The Warriors wrestled five dual matches during the day-long tournament and posted wins over Vista Peak and Widefield.

TOM MUNDS he feels 195 pounds is the proper weight for him as a wrestler.

“I am winning some matches, having some fun and the holidays gave us a little break from practice,” he said. “We came back to practice and then we watched ‘Vision Quest,’

which is a great wrestling movie and it helped us get ready for today.”

Gosselin is a defensive lineman for the Warriors’ football team and also plays rugby.

“Wrestling helps me with balance, use of my hands and arms as well as

using the other player’s movements against him,” he said. “Wrestling also helps me improve my techniques for rugby. If you can make a good double-league takedown in wrestling, you can tackle any rugby player your face.”

with an average of 4.2 per game.

In the girls 4A state statistics, Green Mountain senior Corrina Archuleta and Standley Lake junior Makena Prey have both made 50 free throws. Archuleta has connected of 50-of-63 tries (79 percent) while Prey has gone 50-of-75 (67 percent).

Jill Smith of D’Eveyln is the 4A 3-pointer leader, averaging 2.4 per game and Angi Reed of D’Evelyn is the state 4A leader in steals with an average of six per game.

Rock Canyon junior Sam Matsen is scoring 23.4 points a game and he gets to the free throw line a lot.

He is the Class 5A boys free throw leader, making 84-of-115 attempts (73 percent).
