Dog trainer, avid traveler

About me I’ve lived in Littleton for 23 years. I moved from Dallas because the climate is awesome and the scenery is beautiful. I had visited Colorado numerous times and found so many exciting outdoor activities to do.

A career in dog training I have been a dog trainer and behaviorist for 22 years. I did an apprenticeship with a trainer and behaviorist in Boulder, and I started my own company, A Wagging Success. I offer classes as well as private sessions. My life is devoted to helping people understand that training dogs is done is a positive and loving way. I have always loved dogs and I have two Labrador retrievers: Bronco, a yellow lab, and Haines, a black lab. My dogs are also animal actors and have done numerous TV shows and commercials. Bronco is in a national ad for the Chevrolet Cruze that is currently running. My dogs have also done hospital therapy visits and competition agility.

My hobbies I spend a lot of time every day with my dogs making sure they have fun exercise and mental stimulation. We enjoy hiking and snowshoeing. I also like to work out at the gym and do yoga to keep myself in shape mentally and physically. I’m an experienced golfer and skier and fly small planes and am an avid traveler. I want to see as much of this world as possible. I also like to read and started a book club last year.

College graduate shows how ADHD didn’t slow him down

CSU honors Centennial’s Josh Horner for broad range of accomplishments

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Josh Horner did not let his attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder stop him from learning two new languages, living in two foreign countries, leading his college choir section and writing a book.

Because of those accomplishments over his 4 1/2 years at Colorado State University, the Centennial resident was honored as the College of Liberal Arts’ outstanding graduate.

“I think the most compelling thing was how he was able to overcome ADHD and still do so well in school,” CSU communications coordinator Jeff Dodge said. “It sounds like it was a positive for him in the sense that it drove him to travel and see parts of the world he would not have otherwise seen.”

Every semester, CSU honors a representative from each of its eight colleges as an outstanding graduate. They are nominated by professors and department heads. More than 2,000 students graduated from CSU in December.

For Horner, who was born in Littleton and lived in Parker before moving to Centennial, the honor was unexpected.

“I didn’t think I was qualified for it, but I decided I’d take it,” Horner said.

Dealing with ADHD An international studies and Spanish major, one of Horner’s major challenges was completing reading assignments because ADHD makes it difficult to maintain focus.

“I think ADHD is often very misunderstood and it is turned into a joke,” Horner said. “It can take a great toll on your self-esteem when school systems are built on the premise of evaluating you with a grade. People with ADHD feel like failures.”

It wasn’t until college that Horner truly understood his ADHD and learned how to complete school work effectively. He developed strategies to help him stay focused, such as writing notes for a history class in Spanish or leaving a classroom when he could feel his attention wandering.

“The amount of information I learned having left the class is greater than the amount I would have lost just spacing out and missing it,” he said.

Horner called all the distractions noise.

“The noise is essentially a number of symptoms of ADHD which make you constantly focused on outside stimuli,” Horner said. “You can have four entire things going in your head at once and it can be very tiring, especially when you are trying to focus in class or trying to focus on a reading assignment.”

But he still graduated with a 3.6 GPA. Pursuing his passions Horner discovered music his freshman year when a friend asked him to join her for a choir rehearsal.

“I had never been in a choir and never

Josh Horner’s love for new challenges has given him a desire to reach out to other cultures and help people who deal with similar struggles to what he faces with his ADHD. COURTESY PHOTO read a piece of music before,” he said.

Horner was so impressed with the experience he remained in choir for the rest of his undergraduate career. After two years, he was the section leader for the tenor section.

Leaving the choir behind, he said, was the hardest part about graduating.

Horner studied abroad twice, first in Argentina and then in Japan, learning both Spanish and Japanese before traveling there.

“When you learn a foreign language, the most important skill you take away is the ability to learn language,” Horner said. “When I was learning Spanish, I was learning to deconstruct my own language and take in another.

When I joined Japanese class, that skill took me to the top of the class.”

His favorite memories in Japan were conversations had with his host mother, who did not speak “a lick of English,” while sitting around a traditional Chinese table that had a heater beneath it.

And for his final school project, Horner used his experiences with ADHD and travel to write a 53-page book titled “Noise.”

“I decided to write my book on something different,” Horner said. “Sometimes travel is a form of escapism.

What if you travel to escape something as opposed to travel to broaden your horizons? Because my ADHD can cause me so many issues when I am stagnant and still for too long, when I moved abroad it was a fresh start.”

Moving forward Horner is excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.

“I want to be a jack of all trades,” he said. “I want to make orchestral scores, record comedy, make a video game and create art. I am not content with being trilingual — I want to learn more languages.”

Because of his struggles in school, Horner wants to one day try teaching.

And he recently applied to a program to teach English in Japan.

“I want to work somewhere I can make a difference,” Horner said.

“Growing up and doubting my potential for so long — it would be great to go into a classroom and find a kid who is like me to tell them that they are worth something.”

Chiefs brief Littleton on possible fire merger Littleton, South Metro, Cunningham officials say departments may be able to provide better service by working together

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A unification of Littleton Fire Rescue, South Metro Fire Rescue and the Cunningham Fire Protection District could help cut costs and improve service time, the chiefs of the three departments told Littleton City Council at a study session Jan. 10.

Officials from South Metro approached LFR Chief Chris Armstrong last summer about the possibility of a merger. The three departments have engaged in preliminary discussions ever since, and have been gathering information — including response time, transport numbers and department borders — in order to determine if the deal would be feasible.

A unified department of 600 employees would cover nearly 300 square miles across the south metro area, with a population of

about half a million people, likely making it the second-largest department in the state behind the Denver Fire Department.

Armstrong told the council that three factors need to be studied to determine if a merger makes sense: firefighter and resident safety, service delivery and long-term financial sustainability.

“We’re public servants,” Armstrong said. “Our job is to provide the best service possible to our communities and do it at the lowest possible cost.”

He said South Metro Chief Bob Baker had approached him and said that the three departments could likely cut costs and perform more effectively if they united.

Cunningham Chief Jerry Rhodes said talks of merging the departments have taken place as far back as 1995.

“This is not something that we just popped up with,” he said.

While the chiefs said a larger department could help bring lower costs for fire trucks and firefighting equipment, Littleton City Councilmember Jerry Valdes asked if there is a point of diminishing returns for a growing department.

Rhodes, who is on the board of directors of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, said a department typically does not see decreased efficiency until it reach-

es 2,000 to 2,500 employees.

Littleton Fire Rescue covers not only the city of Littleton, but Highlands Ranch, west Centennial and portions of unincorporated Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties. Armstrong said the partnerships have allowed LFR to maintain lower costs as well.

“If any one of those partners left Littleton Fire Rescue, in terms of us providing them service, we would not be able to sustain what we currently have,” he said. “The costs would be prohibitive.”

Armstrong said South Metro’s territory includes areas like the Denver Tech Center and Lone Tree that bring in large amounts of tax revenue. South Metro’s district also includes Parker, Castle Pines and a large swath of Centennial, among other areas in Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The Cunningham district is much smaller than the other two, comprising a 14-square mile chunk of Centennial and unincorporated Arapahoe County.

Armstrong also pointed to response time as something that could be improved by a merger.

He said the department’s response time in Highlands Ranch is about 9 1/2 minutes, and that the department has fought response-time problems in other areas. He said resources are needed to fix those and other issues. He added that South

A COMBINED DEPARTMENT The proposed Littleton Fire Rescue/South Metro Fire Rescue/Cunningham Fire Protection District merger would combine three departments into one of Colorado’s largest.

The department would cover 285 square miles with about 498,500 residents ranging from the Denver Tech Center to Castle Pines to unincorporated Jefferson County and have more than 600 employees.

Metro is accredited by an outside agency and maintains response times of just over 7 1/2 minutes.

A presentation has already been made to the Littleton Fire Protection District Board of Directors, and the Highlands Ranch Metro District will be briefed later this month.

Councilmember Bill Hopping said that, moving forward, he would want to see maps of response times and station placement. Mayor Bruce Beckman said that another meeting would be scheduled as the departments gather more information.

“We have a moral obligation to our community and our taxpayers to say `if there’s another department that can provide it at a better rate, and equal or better service, does it make sense to look at doing it together?’ ” Armstrong said.

Teacher returns from journey to Antarctica A picture of a portion of the 72-mile-long fissure in a portion of the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica.

The fissure developed as a portion of the ice shelf the size of Delaware is breaking off.

Englewood resident spent month working on NASA project

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

&

QA

Englewood resident Maggie Kane piled up frequent flier miles late last year as she traveled from Colorado to southern Chile to take part in Operation Icebridge, where she served as a member of the crew flying over Antarctica as part of the NASA mission to monitor changes in polar ice from a fixed-wing aircraft.

Operation IceBridge’s continuing mission is to collect data on changing polar land and sea ice and maintain continuity of measurements between ICESat missions, similar ice-study missions conducted by satellites. The original ICESat mission ended in 2009, and its successor, ICESat-2, is scheduled for launch in 2018.

Kane is a science teacher at Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning in Denver. She is one 12 teachers selected from about 200 who applied in the nationwide search for educators to participate in PolarTREC. On the website, PolarTREC is described as an educational research experience in which K-12 teachers participate in polar research, working closely with scientists as a pathway to improving science education.

Kane took time recently to answer some questions about her monthlong experience.

Englewood resident Maggie Kane, a science teacher, was selected to spend a month working with NASA scientists on flights to take measurement of polar ice.

COURTESY PHOTOS

What about the experience surprised you?

It was so much more than I expected.

I expected to be shadowing the scientist and watching them work but I wasn’t just along for the ride. It was a steep learning curve to bring me up to speed so I could work with the scientists. I felt like I was a sponge trying to absorb the amount of learning that I was able to engage in on a daily basis. I became a vital member of the team. I am a scientist but I also am an educator. One of my tasks, a task I enjoyed, was to engage with schools by sharing the scientific information I was learning with the students in a meaningful way.”

How did you share information with students?

There was a program on the aircraft to connect with schools. Schools could book a time and then it was like a chat line as I chatted about the mission and

tried to answer their questions. We communicated with one school in Mexico and a number of schools throughout the United States. Also, when I completed the flying phase of my trip I spent two days with students in two different schools in Santiago, Chile. I also posted my journal online and schools including the school where I teach kept track of what I was doing in the South Pole.

What was a typical day like for you?

It was a demanding schedule. We had breakfast at about 6 a.m., went to briefing, and then took off for 10 to 12 hours gathering data flying over the ice.

We usually got back to quarters about 10 p.m. but I still had emails to send out and I had to complete my journal before I went to bed. I was on site 26 days and made 13 flights. It was challenging, but I didn’t want to sit in camp and miss a minute of the excitement of flying the missions.

Were there surprises?

I think the biggest surprise for me was the extent and beauty of the ice in Antarctica. The ice isn’t flat. There are mountains, shelves and crevices that are truly amazing. It is a bit overwhelming. Another surprise was the eager-

ness of children to learn about the mission. I found the children I talked to in Santiago and those I talked with on line very interested in the study and what was happening to the ice in the South Pole.

What do you feel is important about the mission?

The mission documents the melting of the ice in Antarctica. Right now a huge portion of the Larsen Ice Shelf is about to break off. The water under the shelf is warming so eventually a big chunk of ice will break off and float away. The crack where the ice is separating from the shelf is very visible. It starts out looking like a little line in the ice. The crack runs about 72 miles and widens to where it is 30 meters wide and a kilometer deep.

When the ice breaks away from the shelf the piece visible above the water will be the about the size of the state of Delaware and the ice will extend down into the ocean maybe 1,000 feet.

I am concerned that most people don’t understand what is happening to the ice pack at both poles. My wish is that more leaders would study the data and make the decision to help us take actions to at least slow the warming causing the ice melt.

Greenhouse supports learning at Mackintosh Littleton school adding hydroponic gardening to facility for students

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Since 2013, students at Littleton’s Mackintosh Academy have been using a greenhouse to learn about botany and agriculture while growing vegetables.

“It gives us the opportunity to grow in self-management,” said eighth-grader Sam Pausback.

Last week, the school received a $4,600 grant from the Colorado Garden Foundation to outfit the greenhouse with hydroponics and a misting irrigation system, as well as drip irrigation for its outdoor garden. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using a nutrient solution dissolved in water.

Alison Weems, seventh- and

eighth-grade math and science teacher at Mackintosh, said that she hopes to increase production in the greenhouse in order to support experimentation in her classes.

“We’re very much in the growing and building stage and still figuring out how to incorporate it into the curriculum for the whole school,” she said.

The greenhouse is used across the spectrum at Mackintosh, from kindergarteners learning about the job of being a farmer up to seventhand eighth-graders raising crops to sell at a student-run farmer’s market.

Pausback and fellow eighthgrader Quinn Yates say that they’ve learned a lot from experimenting with plants in the greenhouse, raising tomatoes, greens, cucumbers and herbs.

They also said it gives them an appreciation of how food is brought to the table.

“You could go your entire life going to the grocery store and never

shown a passion for the greenhouse.

“They’re very into it,” she said.

Reforming Colorado’s construction defects laws in order to incentivize the building of condominiums and townhomes has emerged as a priority for both Republicans and Democrats early in the legislative session.

State Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Cañon City, and House Speaker Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, are prime sponsors of a bill tackling the issue, with co-sponsorship from House Assistant Minority Leader Cole Wist, R-Centennial, and Sen. Angela Williams, D-Denver.

“This is the first step in a multi-tier process to help Coloradans attain a home of their own, and I am pleased to be a part of this critical legislation,” Wist said in a statement.

Senate Bill 17-045 was introduced Jan. 11, the first day of the session, and has been assigned to the senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee. It Wist targets insurance rates.

In construction defects actions in court in which more than one insurer has a duty to defend a party, the bill would require the court to apportion the cost of defense among all of them.

Supporters of the bill say it would simplify and reduce litigation costs.

“By targeting insurance rates, we’re addressing the problem without reducing consumers’ rights to protect the property that they spend their life’s

savings to buy,” Duran said.

Grantham said that while 100,000 people moved to the state last year, only 25,000 new homes were built.

Reforming the law on construction defects has been a longtime priority of Republicans in the Legislature. They say the status quo prevents condos and townhomes from being built, leading to Coloradans facing the choice of either apartments or single-family homes, with no middle-price ground.

Reform is also supported by several business groups, including the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce.

Some cities and towns — including Lakewood, Littleton and Parker — have passed ordinances addressing the issue in recent years, as legislation died at the Capitol.

State Rep. Susan Beckman, R-Littleton, has identified reforming construction defects laws as a priority of hers this session.

“There is a need to greatly modify the destructive construction defects law that was passed in 2008,” the Littleton Republican told Colorado Community Media in early January.

“We must ensure a market-driven economy and availability of attainable home ownership options that are not hindered by regulation and manipulation.

Rep. Kevin Van Winkle, R- Highlands Ranch, also says the issue is a priority.

“Flawed laws from the recent past have made it impossible for homebuilders to meet market needs, especially for first-time homebuyers and downsizing seniors,” he told Colorado Community Media ahead of the session’s kickoff. “Instead of attainable housing, many Colorado families are trapped in apartments, unable to realize their housing dream.”

Picking up after your dog goes further than making your neighbors happy. When you are out walking your dog, it is your duty to collect their waste. Often, the trails and parks we enjoy with our dogs are adjacent to creeks and reservoirs. Dog waste that is not collected gets carried away during rainstorms to nearby waterways and can be a significant source of pollution. Unlike one might think, dog waste is not a fertilizer.

Rather, it carries harmful bacteria like E. coli, which poses serious health risks if allowed to come in contact with water.

The good, bad and unknown Urgent Care and ER. about health effects of pot Together at Last.

Traffic accident, mental Always Open. illness risks are among those examined by panel

BY MALCOLM RITTER ASSOCIATED PRESS

It can almost certainly ease chronic pain and might help some people sleep, but it’s also likely to raise the risk of getting schizophrenia and might trigger heart attacks.

Those are among the conclusions about marijuana reached by a federal advisory panel in a report released Jan. 12.

The experts also called for a national effort to learn more about marijuana and its chemical cousins, including similarly acting compounds called cannabinoids.

The current lack of scientific information “poses a public health risk,” said the report, released by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. Patients, health care professionals and policy makers need more evidence to make sound decisions, it said.

Several factors have limited research. While the federal government has approved some medicines containing ingredients found in marijuana, it still classifies marijuana as illegal and imposes restrictions on research. A federal focus on paying for studies of potential harms has also impeded research into possible health benefits, the report said. The range of marijuana products available for study has also been restricted, although the government is expanding the number of approved suppliers.

Twenty-eight states and the District of Columbia have legalized

marijuana for a variety of medical uses, and eight of those states plus the district have also legalized it for recreational use. Colorado has legalized both.

The report lists nearly 100 conclusions about marijuana and its similarly acting chemical cousins, drawing on studies published since 1999.

It found strong evidence, for example, that marijuana can treat chronic pain in adults and that similar compounds ease nausea from chemotherapy, with varying degrees of evidence for treating muscle stiffness and spasms in multiple sclerosis.

Limited evidence says marijuana or the other compounds can boost appetite in people with HIV or AIDS, and ease symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, the report concluded. But it said there’s not enough research to say whether they’re effective for treating cancers, irritable bowel syndrome, epilepsy, or certain symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, or helping people beat addictions.

There may be more evidence soon: a study in Colorado is investigating the use of marijuana to treat PTSD. Turning to potential harms, among the committee’s conclusions: • Strong evidence links marijuana use to the risk of developing schizophrenia and other causes of psychosis, with the highest risk among the most frequent users.

• Some evidence suggests a small increased risk for developing depressive disorders, but there’s no evidence either way on whether it affects the course or symptoms of such disorders, or the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder.

• Substantial evidence links pot smoking to worse respiratory symptoms and more frequent episodes of chronic bronchitis.

Tiny dog worth big bucks stolen

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A purebred, 8-week-old Papillon puppy worth $1,300 was stolen from Perfect Pets in Centennial on Jan. 3.

According to an Arapahoe County Sherriff ’s Office news release, the suspects are a man and woman in their 20s, both white with dark hair. Video footage of the puppy being stolen can be seen on the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office Facebook page: www. facebook.com/ArapahoeSO/videos/1380808035296113/ The female suspect picked the puppy up “by the back of the neck” out of a dog pen display and carried it to the back of the store, the news release states. The male suspect then distracted the store employee while the woman put the dog under her

sweatshirt. Both suspects left through a back exit without paying, according to the release.

“By the way the lady grabbed the puppy, we are concerned about the puppy’s safety,” said Lexi Esquibel, manager of the store at 6840 S. University Boulevard. “She was less than two pounds. Those small-breed dogs are known to go hypoglycemic. If they don’t get care, water and soft food, they could get really sick and die.”

Anyone with information about the crime, the whereabouts of the stolen dog or the identification of the suspects is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. You can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward. Additionally, Perfect Pets is offering a $300 reward.

Legislators target transportation funding No sign of unity in opening round as Colorado faces billions in needs

BY KRISTEN WYATT ASSOCIATED PRESS

There’s no debate — Colorado needs a big plan to pay for billions in needed highway upgrades.

But that’s where agreement ended Jan. 11 as the state’s divided Legislature began work for the year.

Republicans in the House and Sen-

ate gave differing takes on whether Colorado should ask voters to pass a new tax to pay for more than $8 billion in transportation projects.

And Democrats are talking up different ways to pay for roads.

New Republican Senate President Kevin Grantham, of Cañon City, took the unusual step of not rejecting a tax hike.

Instead, he simply asked Democrats to take a careful look at cutting other spending first.

Colorado requires voters to approve tax hikes, so Grantham called it essential to sell the tax as the only possible option for improving roads.

Developmental Pathways Holiday Outreach Sometimes Santa comes in disguise as he did for about 700 people with developmental disabilities or delays this year. For more than a decade, the local community centered board Developmental Pathways has held their much-anticipated Holiday Outreach program.

Supported individuals and/or families in need are nominated to participate in this extraordinary program. The program nominees are asked to submit gift requests, and the generous supporters of Developmental Pathways fulfill those requests.

One parent had this to say about her encounter with Pathways’ undercover Santa: “Dear Donors, I wanted to express our overwhelming gratitude for all the donations to my family this Christmas. This has been such a tough year for me and my husband with my cancer diagnosis and treatments. We have tried to keep things as normal as possible for our kids. The gifts we received for Christmas were such a heartwarming blessing and brought so much joy to our kids. I look forward to paying all of your generosity forward once I recover and life gets back to normal. God bless you and your family.”

Developmental Pathways would like to thank all the donors, volunteers, and employees that put on their elf hats for a few weeks so that hundreds of families could feel the warmth of the Christmas spirit.

“If we are going to ask (taxpayers) for more out of their own pockets to fund these bond payments, then we must also demonstrate the commitment to reprioritize the dollars they’ve already entrusted to us,” Grantham said.

That was a softer scolding than Democrats received in the House, where Republican minority leader Patrick Neville, of Castle Rock, Neville insisted that Colorado has enough money and needs no tax increase for roads.

“Revenue for transportation is something we can control without asking taxpayers for more money,” Neville said, without explaining what he’d like to cut, though schools and health care are among the biggest spenders in Colorado’s existing pocketbook.

Democratic House Speaker Crisanta Duran, of Denver, suggested both Duran parties could seek voter approval for a new tax.

Duran said in an opening-day news release that she was involved in “promising discussions” with members of both parties in both chambers to devise a comprehensive statewide plan to upgrade the

transportation system.

“Anyone who’s been on I-25 at rush hour, anywhere from Fort Collins to Pueblo, knows the need is real,” she said, Senate Democratic leader Lucia Guzman, of Denver, meanwhile, repeated appeals to free up money by exempting a hospital tax from state revenues. Grantham has called that idea a non-starter.

Other issues explored on opening day: Health care Grantham said he was proposing a bill to repeal Colorado’s health insurance exchange, a move that would have residents instead shop on the federal insurance marketplace.

Democrats, including Gov. John Hickenlooper, will likely see the move as an attack on President Barack Obama’s signature domestic-policy achievement.

Education Duran called on Republicans to consider big changes to how the state funds public education. Just four years after voters soundly rejected an income tax hike to increase school funding, Republicans are unlikely to view the appeal favorably. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans talked about studying the need for weapons training for school employees, a perennial non-starter with Democrats.

Hickenlooper vows to defend health care access Governor would ‘fight for a replacement plan’

‘I think most of us would agree that the last thing we would want is Congress making all of our decisions around health care.’

BY JAMES ANDERSON AND KRISTEN WYATT ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colorado’s health care exchange isn’t going anywhere soon.

That’s the word from Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who told the state’s 100 lawmakers in his annual state of the state address Jan. 12 that he will resist any attempt to roll back the federal health care law that requires everyone to get health insurance.

“I think most of us would agree that the last thing we would want is Congress making all of our decisions around health care,’’ said Hickenlooper, who has increasingly invoked a states’ rights argument — one often used by Republicans on such issues as gun rights — to defend Colorado’s health care and marijuana markets.

But, Hickenlooper added, “If changes are inevitable, I will fight for a replacement plan that protects the people who are covered now and doesn’t take us backward.’’

Republicans in Congress are working to defund the Affordable Care Act enacted under President Barack Obama without having drafted a replacement. In Colorado, Republicans who control the state Senate have

John Hickenlooper, Colorado governor introduced a bill to disband Colorado’s health insurance exchange by 2019.

Senate Republican Leader Chris Holbert, of Parker, told reporters after the speech that Colorado shouldn’t maintain its health care system despite national changes.

“We need to watch to see what Congress does, about whether they repeal or replace the Affordable Care Act,’’ Holbert said.

Republicans’ health care bill has no chance in the Democrat-led House.

Still, Hickenlooper noted, “we’ll soon have a new president, and it is clear that the new administration and Congress seek a different relationship between the federal government and the states.’’

More than 200,000 Coloradans depend on the state exchange and 1 in 5 residents is covered by Medicaid, whose costs have expanded drastically.

But there are substantial inequities.

Insurers have fled rural regions.

Western Slope residents have just one, and they pay some of the highest premiums in the nation.

Hickenlooper embraced a shared commitment by Democrats and Republicans to spend more for roads and promote housing construction in the rapidly growing state. He didn’t provide specifics on how to tackle $9 billion worth of road improvements over the next decade, but he did say the general fund was off-limits.

“Voters are tired of us kicking the can down the road, because they know it’s going to land in a pothole,’’ Hickenlooper said.

The governor asked lawmakers to find a way to fund public education without sacrificing other core government services. K-12 schools fund-

ing depends on the ups and downs of often-conflicting constitutional spending rules, and it competes each year with prisons, health care and transportation for funding.

Hickenlooper has proposed a $28.5 billion budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. It calls on lawmakers to eliminate a $500 million deficit.

The governor also: • Said he is creating an office dedicated to getting high-speed internet to all of Colorado by 2020.

“Fiber optic cables are today’s power lines for farmers, ranchers and rural small businesses,’’ he said.

• Called for $6 million to help local police and prosecutors find illegal marijuana grows and prosecute those responsible. Loopholes in home grow and medical caregiver laws have allowed a black market to flourish, Hickenlooper said.

Look for your inner calm during stressful times both large and small WINNING WORDS

S

ometimes the tiniest of incidents can throw us into a tirade or tantrum. We get so blinded by the perceived crisis of the moment and situation we lose our minds, our tempers can quickly flare, and we fly off the handle and do or say things we will probably regret later. Have you ever been there?

Me too.

Now I don’t know about you personally, but sometimes it is the smallest of changes or accidents that occur where we see people just lose it.

Yet those very same people when faced with an enormous crisis or challenge seem amazingly calm during the battle or height of the storm.

You may know this type of person, you may live with them or work with them. This master of

remaining calm in the face of a critical situation or massive adversity may be you.

So how can we develop an attitude and a technique that will help us to slow down or stop in the face of any trouble or problem, large or small, and gain control of our thoughts, words and actions before they take control of us?

When I have spoken with some people who have mastered the art of finding calm in the fiercest of battles or crisis, and when I have witnessed such amazing grace and thoughtfulness in challenging times, there was a common denominator, a total lack of panic or worry. Instead, I heard stories of courage and an attitude of thinking about the bigger picture. I would see people looking and listening more than talking and screaming. The people

who amaze me the most are those who are in the middle of one of life’s biggest storms or tragedies and surrounded by others who are screaming, yelling, cursing and scrambling around without direction, and yet these amazing people can observe, understand the full impact, take control in a very calm and confident manner. As a matter of fact, instead of screaming or cursing, they even speak a little more softly.

There is no doubt we all get faced with little accidents and incidents that can quickly get under our skin or annoy us to the point of anger and frustration. And locally and globally there are things happening every day that could be SEE NORTON, P13

Energy was one of the best performers in 2016 after hitting bottom in February and rebounding 25 percent. Financials soared on hopes of less regulation and higher interest rates. The health care sector fell into negative territory. Europe did not participate in our euphoria and China devalued their currency to keep up with our rising interest rates.

There is someone named Nina living in the area who is nearly hidden. That’s because she wears a mask most of the time. At least at work.

considered a massive challenge or enormous storm of life. And in either case, it is not what happens to us or around us, it is how we respond to what is happening to us or around us.

When we “lose it,” regardless of the situation, our reputation becomes damaged. And not just the way others see us, it’s that regret I spoke of earlier and how we see ourselves, how we look at our own diminishing reputation or character.

You know the saying and maybe even the book, “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff … And It’s All Small Stuff.” Well it’s true. The next time the dog ac-

cidentally knocks over a cup of coffee, or your child mistakenly deletes a document on your laptop, or someone bumps into you in the grocery store, just remember to stop, slow down and realize it really is just small stuff and your reputation and your character are better than that, you are better than that.

Fight the impulse and urge to react, and instead respond with calm and grace.

And as far as those big, huge, enormous battles and storms of life go, the same rules apply.

Remember to apply the attitude that panic is your worst enemy, nothing is ever as bad as it seems, and all will be well. Yes, even with the new presidentelect, and regardless of who we all voted for, the enormity of the situation calls for us to

continue through 2017. Many investors wanted to be on the sidelines after a negative October and the pending election and have not found a good entry point since. Meanwhile fixed incomeinvestors are seeing dwindling values in their bond portfolios as yields rise and share prices fall. This interest rate phenomenon spread to other sectors also, such as real estate investment trusts and anything valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

So 2016 was a very mixed bag depending on when and where you were invested. While the best performance was in domestic large company manufacturing, industrial and financial stocks, most other sectors were average at best. The valuations became very rich as stock prices were pushed higher in anticipation of better earnings going forward.

In the new year, we are faced with many challenges. These include rich stock valuations, diminishing bond prices, growing debt issues in greater Europe, and currency and trade issues with Asia and Mexico.

There remains hope that the economy will grow, unemployment will remain low and interest rate hikes will be gradual enough not to disturb progress.

If taxes are cut and health care expenses are reeled in, then the consumer can benefit through savings. Wages will likely rise along with some inflation.

Research analysts are predicting an average year in equity returns, with

remain calm, live, act and work with grace and control. There is no place for overreacting or overreaching when it comes to finding a solution. It is our job to respond in the best way possible to become and to be a part of the solution.

Remember that eight years ago we elected our first African-American president. There were many who supported him and many who were upset with his winning the election. But in the end, and throughout his presidency, whether we voted for him or not, we were still one country and we supported each other. Even though many threatened it, no one actually ever moved to Canada or any other country for that matter.

This year we almost voted into office the first woman to

lower bond prices and struggles with a very strong dollar and pressures on banks in Europe. However, sentiment is high and the momentum of positive returns has carried over despite a few down days in early January.

Wise investors will watch for opportunities in sector rotation and be careful not to assume last year’s winners will repeat. For example, health care went from the worst performer last year to one of the best so far this year. Energy also switched places along with banks.

Watch the elections in Italy, France, Holland and Germany. Europe is either voting for or against austerity and the survival of the EU (European Union).

How the European Central Bank can support countries swimming in debt remains to be seen.

Consumers will need patience as we wait to see how changes unfold. It will be virtually impossible to tackle all the campaign promises in the first quarter. We don’t see recession in the near term, but any surprise worldwide could easily pull back a record high stock market. The vigilant, patient investor can reap good rewards despite several underperforming and perhaps overpriced sectors. Fixed income holders will be challenged to stay positive and keep up with inflation. Creating a solid long-term plan with tactical exposure through dynamic allocation will be crucial as we navigate 2017.

Why sushi is so popular, according to local chefs

events such as the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Americans gradually gained more exposure to Japanese food, he said.

SEE SUSHI, P15

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

iane Bukatman, who founded For the Love of Food cooking school in Golden, learned to make sushi in 2004 while working at a Washington, D.C., restaurant.

One co-worker was a Japanese sushi chef for the restaurant, she said. Fascinated by the art, she’d spend free-time watching him craft sushi rolls. Eventually, he taught her the trade, she said.

And when it comes to a fascination with sushi, Bukatman isn’t alone.

In recent decades, sushi locations have sprung up left and right, making a large imprint in the U.S. restaurant market.

Likewise, sushi-making classes have become popular options for date nights, birthday parties and other events.

If you’ve ever wondered how sushi became popular in the U.S. or where to learn sushi-making, local restaurateurs and cooking instructors have the answers for you.

For Yasu Kizaki, one of four brothers who run well-known Denver restaurant Sushi Den and sister restaurants Izakaya Den and OTOTO Den, sushi’s rise in popularity coincides with historical events.

As people began to move from Japan to the U.S. after World War II, and through

Becoming a Japanese sushi chef

TYPES OF SUSHI In it’s most basic form, sushi is a dish made with vinegared rice. But there are varying types of sushi rolls more commonly featured in restaurants, including:

Nigiri Nigiri sushi is a type of sushi where slices of, typically, raw fish are laid over pressed rice.

Rice is shaped in an oblong form, swabbed with wasabi and covered with seafood, although it could be other meats as well. Slicing of the fish is carefully done with a sharp knife, to avoid tearing the meat and ruining the roll’s presentation.

Maki Maki sushi means “rolled sushi.” It is usually wrapped in seaweed, or sometimes soy paper. Variations of maki sushi include rolls with rice on the outside of the seaweed paper, while other kinds have rice on the inside of the paper.

Temaki Temaki is a form of the maki roll that is commonly referred to as the “hand roll.”

The roll form is similar to an ice cream cone, with the ingredients inside.

Tempura Tempura refers to a deep fried sushi roll.

There’s more to the world of modern musicals than ‘La La Land’

T

he way people are flipping out over Damien Chazelle’s latest film, “La La Land,” you’d think there hasn’t been a musical on screen since “Grease.”

Don’t get me LINER wrong — I thoroughly enjoyed “La NOTES La Land,” and it is definitely one of the year’s best films.

I certainly have no problem with all the awards it’s won already (it did a record-breaking clean sweep at the Golden Globes on Clarke Reader Jan. 8) and the ones it will no doubt win at the Oscars.

My issue is that viewers and listeners have been missing out on some wonderfully innovative approaches to the genre by ignoring anything that doesn’t have immediate name recognition. I’m talking about the big screen productions of standards like “Chicago,” “Phantom of the Opera” and “Les Misérables,” or live televised versions like “The Sound of Music,” “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “The Wiz.” Just a little jaunt off the beaten path will lead to some serious musical treasure.

Take the career of John Carney, the Irish writer and director behind

SUSHI FROM PAGE 14

Sushi’s appeal Dianne Morin is the founder of a Lakewood-based nonprofit, Cooking Experience Club. For the past 17 years, she has run cooking summer camps for local children and given cooking classes for events, private parties and families.

In the past four years, Morin said, “sushi-making has been pretty popular.”

She credits the popularity of sushi to its healthy nature.

“I think a lot of it is because it’s a lighter meal,” she said.

Sushi is not as dense as a mashed

2007’s indie breakout, “Once.” That story went on to be a Tony-winning Broadway musical, and Carney followed it with “Begin Again” in 2013 and this year’s “Sing Street,” which was nominated for Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy, alongside “La La Land.”

“Sing Street” might be Carney’s most delightful film yet, and Ferdia Walsh-Peelo turns in a memorable debut performance as Conor, a young teenager in 1985 Dublin who starts a band to impress Raphina (Lucy Boynton), a model he meets outside of his school.

Carney makes rock musicals instead of the traditional songbook approach, and all of his films feature protagonists drunk on the power of music and love. Just like any other musical you’d think of, the characters often randomly break out into song. But because all three films focus on musicians, it’s a bit more believable when they do so. And Carney works with skilled musicians like Glen Hansard and Adam Levine, so you’re getting tunes you’ll actually hear on the radio.

I hope Carney someday gets the audience he deserves.

In the television realm, about the only musical you’re going to find is The CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” which is just as well, because I have difficulty imagining any other topping it — with the possible exceppotatoes-and-meat type meal, she said, and sushi rolls look appealing to consumers.

“Just the whole concept of, `I can look at this and it looks pretty healthy,’ ” she said.

It’s also easy to personalize, she said, which is something that comes across in her classes.

For those leery of raw fish, she will demonstrate how to substitute in vegetables or smoked salmon.

And there are dessert options, Morin said. Sushi-makers can incorporate fresh fruit or coconut for a sweeter taste.

Kizaki said sushi truly gained momentum in the 1990s. The California roll — which typically contains cucumber, crab meat and avocado — provided Westerners a steppingstone

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: The xx’s “I See You” released on Young Turks.

Review: As swooningly romantic as ever, The xx takes the insular sounds that made their first two records quiet hits, and adds some cinematic grandeur. Producer Jamie xx has expanded the group’s sonic palette, and songs like “Dangerous” and “On Hold” breathe beautifully in the new spaces. But don’t worry, singers

tion of “Galavant,” which ABC canceled last year.

“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” is the brain child of Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna, and stars Bloom as Rebecca Bunch, a New York lawyer who moves to West Covina, California, to be closer to her high school crush (don’t worry — there’s a lot more nuance than that). The show features a hilarious and truly empathetic cast and approach to story.

But top-notch songwriting really sets it apart.

The songs spoof everything from Broadway song-and-dance numbers to torch songs, boy band pop and Alanis Morissette grunge. Check out some of the song names from the first season: “Settle For Me,” “I’m in a Sexy French Depression” and “After Everything I’ve Done For You (That You Didn’t Ask For).”

The show manages to create frighteningly accurate explorations of self-confidence and self-worth, romantic obsession and dynamic friendships, while writing songs like the second season’s standout, “It Was a Sh*t Show.”

If “La La Land” really is creating a renewed interest in musicals, then there’s already plenty out there for fans to dig into. Get started.

into the new culinary world, he said, as it didn’t incorporate raw fish in the mix.

By the 2000s, Kizaki said, sushi was going strong.

said, also noting they are some of her most popular options. Customers eat as they go and take home nearly $60 worth of sushi supplies.

Kizaki and his brothers offer regular sushi-making classes through their restaurants. He said they began the tradition as a way to broaden their customers’ horizons.

“Food is an introduction of Japanese culture,” he said. “When I do a class I talk about Japanese culture.”

Talking culture was a way to make the classes entertaining for those who are simply there to have fun, he said. But in Kizaki’s perspective, if you want to learn serious sushi-making, go to Japan.

“Then,” he said, “you learn the skill from a pro.”

Learning the craft Bukatman said becoming a master sushi chef takes years, but learning for fun is quick and easy.

She advises people to work with very sharp knives and know when to use water. You need dry hands when working with seaweed paper but wet when working the rice.

“The trickiest part is learning to make the rice properly,” she said.

Adding too much water melts the grains into a glue-like mixture.

Bukatman started her sushi-making classes around 12 years ago, she

Phyllis Vandehaar offers daylong painting workshop in Littleton Watercolor, ink technique to be explored on Feb. 4

IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“If art isn’t challenging, enlightening, enjoyable and requiring the thinking process, there is something wrong,” she said.

Local artist Phyllis Vandehaar, who spent much of her career teaching art at Arapahoe High School, is still sharing her expertise some years after she retired.

On Feb. 4, she will spend the day, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., leading a workshop called “Playful Watercolor and Ink” for members and guests of the Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County. It will be held at Littleton’s First Presbyterian Church, 1609 W. Littleton Blvd. (Doors open at 8:30 a.m.)

Participants will draw with a device called the Speedball Elegant

PHYLLIS VANDEHAAR’S WORKSHOP will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Feb. 4 at Littleton First Presbyterian Church, 1609 W. Littleton Blvd. (Doors open at 8:30 a.m.) Workshops held by the Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County cost $35 member/$50 non-member. (Membership costs $35 a year.) See story for supply info. Sign-up forms are at heritage-guild.com. Pre-registration is necessary. The Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County, founded in 1974, welcomes new members at all levels of experience in fine arts media, as well as those interested in art appreciation. It holds monthly meetings, weekly “paint days,” and ongoing exhibits and workshops. See: heritage-guild.com.

Writer calligraphy marker, a pen that flows into “a lovely array of fluid values when water or watercolor paints are applied.”

Vandehaar will demonstrate and show examples, then participants will start with a small piece of paper and move on to a larger, more detailed work.

Registrants are asked to bring two black Elegant Writer pens (one broad 3.0 and a thinner 1.0 — about $5 each) as well as watercolors, watercolor paper and reference photos if wanted. Abstract and nonobjective works are also acceptable.

For a complete supply list, go online to heritage-guild.com, go to the Phyllis Vandehaar listing and click on “See workshop details,” then on the resulting Phyllis Vandehaar listing, click on “Download class description and supply list.”

Vandehaar has always made art an integral part of her being. She earned a BA and MFA in fine arts from the University of Colorado and taught high school art for many years. In retirement, she still teaches: a few private lessons at her home, workshops and classes, as well as creating her own artwork in watercolor, mixed media, pastels, charcoal and collage.

“Although she is capable of realistic imagery, she prefers to abstract out subject matter through loosely-

Her greatest sense of achievement is inventing subject matter, using vibrant color, creating unusual N relationships and simply making up things as she produces her art,” she T wrote, adding, “I don’t know what I c would have done with my life had I M A not been an artist!”

Cherry Creek junior Rashon Johnson shoots over Arapahoe’s Jared Johnson during the Jan. 14 Centennial League game played at Arapahoe. Rashon Johnson scored 18 points and had eight steals as the Bruins’ defense sparked a second-half surge in a 69-57 Creek victory. JIM BENTON

Defense helps Bruins pull out win Cherry Creek pulls away in second half for 69-57 victory

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherry Creek’s first-year boys basketball coach Kent Dertinger and his staff talked a lot about defense during halftime of the Bruins’ Centennial League game against Arapahoe on Jan. 14 .

The players listened.

The Bruins used pressure defense to outscore the rival Warriors 20-8

in the third quarter and went on to notch a 69-57 win in the Arapahoe gym.

“We have the ability to play good defense , it’s just whether we want to, so that’s what we kind of talked about at halftime,” Dertinger said.

“The kids played really hard and they executed the game plan we had defensively in the third quarter. I don’t know what we were doing in the first half.”

Arapahoe coach Brad Jansen, whose team made nine 3-point shots during the game, watched the game slip away after halftime as it took Arapahoe 4 minutes, 39 seconds into the third period before collecting its first field goal.

“We turned the ball over 10 times in that quarter and you can’t do that against a team like Creek,” Jansen said. “They are 12-1 for a reason. We played really hard — just have to play smart and take care of the ball.”

Cherry Creek, ranked seventh in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, improved to 4-0 in league. Arapahoe is 2-2 in the Centennial League and 7-6 overall.

11-4 win over Heritage on Jan. 12, with three goals and three assists.

Walker Andrew, basketball, senior, Heritage: He scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the Eagles’ 79-48 win over Thornton on Jan. 10.

Reagan Chiaverini, basketball, senior, Chaparral: She scored 17 points to help the

Wolverines open Continental League play with a 40-21 win over Mountain Vista on Jan. 13.

Tommi Olson, basketball, junior, Highlands Ranch: She scored 22 points and had several steals as the Falcons forced 37 turnovers in a 90-37 Continental League win over Douglas County on Jan. 13.

Key moments Arapahoe led 33-29 when Creek went on a 10-0 run to grab a 39-33 lead with 3:34 left in the third quarter.

SEE BASKETBALL, P24

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Angelo Martinez, basketball, senior, Englewood: Martinez scored 22 points to go along with three assists and three steals in the Pirates’ 78-57 win over Bruce Randolph on Jan. 13. In six games this season, Martinez is averaging 26 points a game.

Upon further review, it’s still an honor

t was awhile ago that Tom Robinson had to make quick, steadfast decisions while coaching the Regis Jesuit boys basketball team.

Robinson was OVERTIME tasked with making more astute decisions as the replay official at the NCAA national championship football game between Clemson and Alabama on Jan. 9 “What a special honor it was,” said Jim Benton Robinson after he was selected as the Big 12 Conference replay official to work the game. “It was a responsibility for a game of that magnitude. During the game it wasn’t on my mind that I was holding the attention of the nation. It didn’t hit me until a little bit afterward.”

Robinson, a coach and teacher at Regis for 30 years, has worked for the Colorado High School Activities Association for the past 16 years after retiring as a coach.

He is currently a CHSAA associate commissioner. He’s been employed as a high school football official and an official in the Western Athletic and Mountain West conferences.

As a replay official at the college level, if something looks questionable, Robinson, 71, has to stop the game to confirm or change the call by the onfield officials.

“If you don’t have a lot of video, you have to piece it together,” Robinson said. “Most of the production crew at games knows what you need.”

There were several controversial plays that will be debated in the title game, especially the one when Hunter Renfrow caught a 2-yard touchdown pass with one second remaining to give Clemson the national title.

Many felt Renfrow was freed up by an illegal pick.

“There can’t be moving picks,” Robinson said. “A player can’t be moving.

It can be legal, but it can be illegal if a player is moving. That play was not reviewable.”

Robinson, who is the director of officials for CHSAA, will retire from the organization on June 30 but plans to keep on being a replay official for college football games.

Back to the basics Jared Yannacito was recently named the new head football coach at Golden High School and has a plan to rejuvenate the program.

Yannacito takes over a program that has averaged two wins over the past seven seasons, going 14-56 since the Demons’ last winning campaign in 2009 SEE BENTON, P25

Monte Hayes drives in for a layup for Englewood during the Jan. 13 non-league game against Bruce Randolph. Hayes’ and his teammates’ fast-paced attack provided the points as the Pirates led the entire game and won, 76-57.

Pirates post third win of season Englewood controlled game’s tempo against Bruce Randolph

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood players scored early and often, leading from the opening tipoff to the final buzzer as the Pirates chalked up a 76-57 win over Bruce Randolph School in the Jan. 13 nonleague boys basketball game.

“The team is looking good. We don’t have a lot of height so we play a fastpace attack and an aggressive man-toman defense,” Englewood coach Stewart Brewer said. “On offense we look to take the ball to the hoop to score a basket or draw a foul. We do shoot outside if the lane is blocked, but that isn’t the shot we are looking for.”

Key moments Englewood set the tempo early. The Pirates pushed the pace on offense and crashed the boards as they jumped out to a 16-6 lead midway through the first quarter. The Grizzlies didn’t toss in the towel and the score was 19-12 going into the second quarter.

Bruce Randolph cut the lead to five points a couple times but each time, the Pirates mounted a scoring rally by mixing drives to the hoop and accurate outside shooting to widen the gap.

Englewood was up 55-36 going into the final quarter.

Key players/statistics Angelo Martinez led Englewood in scoring with 22 points, which included a trio of three-pointers, and he made three steals.

Brock Breazeal scored 10 points and had seven rebounds, while TiRick Ivory and Thomas O’Connor each scored 9 points for the Pirates.

Three-pointers accounted for all of O’Connor’s points as he was 3-for-3 from outside the arc.

Josiah Hazard led the team in rebounds with nine and he also blocked three shots.

Teammate Daryl Culbreath made three steals.

They said it Senior Angelo Martinez said statistically this is the best season in his basketball career.

“I think the difference is I have a lot of confidence in my basketball skills plus I have great support from my teammates,” he said. “My teammates have confidence in me and pass the ball to me so I can use my speed and quickness as I look to score points for us.”

The coach said the Pirates are on the right track.

“I feel we have generated some excitement about Pirate basketball as we have 29 out for the team, which is seven more than we had last year,” Brewer said. “I feel we are headed in the right direction as we focus on putting Englewood highschool basketball back on the map.”

“Defense was a big part of that third quarter and it was a really good team effort all around,” the Bruins’ Rashon Johnson said. “Everybody was scoring pretty well. We were slow in the first half but came out strong in the second.”

Key players/statistics Johnson, a 6-foot-3 junior, led the Bruins with 18 points and eight steals.

Senior Joe Owsley came off the bench and hit 4-of-5 3-pointers to wind up with 14 points. Senior Jalen Meeks had 11 points and five rebounds.

Senior Will Otten had 16 points for the Warriors. Junior Braxton Rienders contributed 12 points and senior Kyle Lukasiewicz, Arapahoe’s leading scorer this season, finished with 11 points.

They said it “We turned the ball over 21 times and when you do that you are not going to win,” Jansen said. “What I said to the team was we never question your effort. You guys play like crazy.

We just have to learn to play hard and smart. Turnovers have kind of been our Achilles heel.”

Dertinger has preached all season about the value of defense.

“Defense is kind of what gets us going,” Dertinger said. “We don’t really have a guy that is going to put up 20 points or whatever each game so we try to get it going with the defense and

Rockies still tinkering as spring training nears Last season’s 75-87 finish was best since 2010

BY PAT GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS

A couple more arms for a shaky bullpen. Maybe another utility player or two. Possibly a long-term deal for outfielder Carlos Gonzalez.

Those are among the priorities for Colorado Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich with spring training just a month away. He’s not quite done tinkering with a team that’s added a new coach in Bud Black , a new first baseman in Ian Desmond — really new, too, having never played the position — and a left-handed reliever in Mike Dunn.

“We’re still fairly active and engaged in both the free-agent market and the potential trade market,” Bridich said Jan. 10. “The focus now is really on pitching, specifically on our bullpen.”

That’s why relievers such as Greg Holland and Joe Blanton remain on the Rockies’ radar as they try to repair a bullpen that blew 28 saves in 2016.

Bridich remains open to a new deal for Gonzalez, an All-Star who hit .298 with 25 homers and 100 RBIs last

when Golden went 7-3.

“I have watched film and they have good athletes,” Yannacito said. “We’re going to start out by being perfect at the things that take no talent. We’re going to go back to the fundamentals.

And we are going to ask for relentless effort in everything we do.”

Yannacito, a 2005 graduate of Pomona, has been an assistant coach for seven seasons for the successful Panthers program.

“Pomona was a great place,” Yannacito said. “I will bring the blueprint of success up to Golden.”

McCaffrey, Dvorak honored Quarterback Dylan McCaffrey, who led Valor Christian to its second

season. Gonzalez has been the subject of trade rumors over the last few seasons. He is paid $20 million this season, then is eligible to become a free agent.

“We feel like there’s a good chance we’ll be able to at least explore further,” said Bridich, whose team finished 75-87 last season, which was its best mark since 2010.

Bridich doesn’t plan on adding a veteran arm to a youthful starting rotation that includes Jon Gray, Chad Bettis — who was recently pronounced cancer-free after dealing with testicular cancer — Tyler Anderson and Tyler Chatwood.

“I’m very excited, as are many people in the organization, about the core group of starters we have already at the major league level, and the type of talent we have got in our potential starters coming up at our Double-A and Triple-A levels,” Bridich explained.

Meanwhile, down in Florida, Desmond has started his conversion to first base. The All-Star outfielder is “working out daily,” Bridich said, after Desmond signed a $70 million, five-year contract in December.

“As we get closer and closer to spring training, the efforts to help him learn the position will increase and ramp up,” Bridich added.

straight Class 5A state football championship, has been named the Boys High School Athlete of the Year by the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.

Quarterback Justin Dvorak from Colorado School of Mines in Golden will be honored as the Male College Athlete of the Year. Dvorak is the Harlon Hill Trophy winner as the nation’s best Division II football player.

The awards banquet will be held April 27 at the Denver Marriott City Center.

Among the people who will be inducted into the hall of fame is former Littleton High School swimming coach Maurice “Stringy” Ervin.

2. Background. ECCV has developed an integrated system for the diversion, accretion, collection, storage, transmission, and treatment of its water rights. This integrated system, which is also referred to as the “Water Supply Project” or the “Northern Project,” is designed to provide ECCV with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supply for its service area located in Arapahoe County. A map of ECCV’s service area is attached as Exhibit 1. According to ECCV’s Water Conservation Plan, at full build-out ECCV will require, on average, up to approximately 16,000 acre-feet per year of raw water supply, and up to approximately 24,000 acre-feet in years when delivering water to its aquifer storage and recovery program. The water appropriated according to this decree is necessary to help ECCV meet those projected needs. The conditional water rights claimed herein and operation of the exchanges are necessary to replace out-of-priority depletions resulting from ECCV’s pumping of the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field in the Beebe Draw (the “ACWWA/ECCV Well Field”) and/or historical return flow obligations owed to the South Platte River. A map showing the locations of the structures described in this Application is attached as Exhibit 2. United will construct structures described below as part of satisfying its contractual obligations to ECCV for the Water Supply Project.

things to

try in the south metro area

BY ALEX DEWIND | ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

The start of a new year is the perfect time to reflect on the past and plan for the future.

It’s the time to set goals, organize that trip you never got around to or that activity you keep telling yourself you are going to try.

For those in need of ideas, the following are five options in the south metro Denver area.

Daniels Park

K1 Speed

iFly Denver

Grab your camera and head to the hills for an epic view of the Front Range.

Daniels Park, an untouched area between Castle Pines and Highlands Ranch, has unobstructed views of western Douglas County, much of which is undeveloped land. The picturesque scenery includes Pikes Peak and Mount Evans.

To get to Daniels Park, take Monarch Boulevard to Griggs Road and veer to the right when you see a sign for Daniels Park Road. There is a picnic table and shelter a couple of miles in.

Those with a need for speed should look no further. K1 Speed, 8034 Midway Drive, Highlands Ranch, is one of few indoor go-kart racing locations in the Denver area. It offers go-karts imported from Italy that reach 50 mph.

“The focus of it all is the amazing cars that we have — all electric, no emissions, all inside,” general manager Jack Czarnecki said. “Even on the worst snow day, you can come race.”

Aside from the race track, there is a family-friendly lounge equipped with 20 TVs, leather couches, a snack bar and an arcade.

Czarnecki noted that weekdays are much slower than weekends.

And there’s a weekday special: three races for $39 Monday through Thursday versus the regular price of three races for $48.

For those in search of a thrill, an indoor skydiving facility is just miles down the road at iFly Denver, 9230 Park Meadows Drive, Lone Tree.

Jordan Weintraub, of Highlands Ranch, took his daughter when she was about 4 or 5 years old. The now 9-year-old loved it and is ready to go skydiving, Weintraub said.

Krissy Jennings-Mosbarger, also of Highlands Ranch, took her 10-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son. She described the experience as expensive, but also pretty incredible.

“We got a video of all of our flights and everyone had an amazing time,” she said over social media.

According to iFly’s website, a basic first-time flier package starts at $59.95. For more information, visit iflyworld. com/denver/.

Highlands Ranch Mansion Looking for a history lesson on the community? Take a tour of the legendary Highlands Ranch Mansion, a castle-like structure that dates to 1891 and was home to some of the first inhabitants of the land.

Open hours and tours are held on most Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and one Monday evening per month. This month, the Monday is Jan. 9, and it’s open to the public from 3 to 7 p.m.

Volunteers are on site for free guided tours, or residents can explore the dwelling on their own.

Dart Warz Dart Warz is a familyfriendly alternative to paintball that is played with foam darts. The company describes the sports arena as “America’s first indoor Nerf battle field.” It is located in Centennial, off South University Boulevard and East Otero Avenue.

Dart Warz specializes in birthday parties, teambuilding and employee parties, according to its website.

Participants must be at least 5 years old. On Monday evenings from 4 to 8 p.m., parents play free with purchase of a child entry.

At Dart Warz, there is an emphasis on organized game play. All games are monitored by trained referees.

“Our motto? Play by the rules or don’t play at all,” dartwarz.com says.
