BUMPY RIDE

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

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Collin Goodwin rides his sled down the steps and toward a jump built at the bottom of a hill dubbed Mount Englewood behind the high school campus. The Littleton resident said he had a lot of fun taking the bumpy ride down the steps on Feb. 2, the day a snowstorm swept through the area and led to the closure of many schools. Read more on Page 3.

Things are getting well at Ketring Lake

Gun continues on Page 5

Public invited to view plans for project to keep lake full

Swedish offers testing after needle scare

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Well, are you wondering what happened to the well that’s been promised to keep Ketring Lake full?

You can attend a meeting on the evening of Feb. 11 to find out.

In 2015, Littleton City Council approved $500,000 to drill into an underground aquifer to which the city has rights. Last August, City Manager Michael Penny said the well would hopefully be done by November. The new projected start date is later this month.

“This well will allow us to maintain Ketring’s water level, regardless of nature’s assistance,” said Penny.

The well, which will be 900 feet deep, will be drilled in the open grass just east of the lake and south of the parking lot. It will take approximately seven continuous days to drill, with a large rig enclosed by a sound barrier. When completed, the only evidence of the well will be a 3-foot-tall head protected with landscape stones or some kind of low structure. It will replenish the lake mainly during the summer, when the lake is most prone to evaporation.

After Denver Water took over Littleton’s service in 1970, it agreed to keep Ketring Lake full, to the extent possible,

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

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

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

Hospital says infection unlikely, but urges precautions

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

This is how Ketring Lake looked in November 2013 before the city used a fire hydrant to fill it back up. A permanent well will solve the problem. File photo with water channeled from the High Line Canal. But considering the $1 million a year it takes to operate, junior water rights and several years of drought, Denver Water plans to repurpose the canal over the next few years.

“In low runoff years, the canal has been left dry,” reads a news release. “As a result, the level of water in the lake has fluctuated wildly from full to very low.”

The public is welcome to attend the Feb. 11 meeting, which will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., to find out about the well and view the plans. At 6:30, the city’s engineer and consultant will offer a brief presentation and then answer questions.

For more information, contact Mark Rudnicki at 303-798-4394.

Swedish Medical Center began asking about 2,900 former patients to agree to free testing for the blood-borne diseases HIV-AIDS, hepatitis B and hepatitis C, after the hospital discovered a surgical technologist allegedly trying to switch a syringe of pain medication during preparation for surgery.

“There have been no reports of patient infection, but as a precaution we are contacting all patients who had surgery from Aug. 17, 2015 until Jan. 22 of this year, which is the time the individual under investigation worked at Swedish,” said Nichole Williams, hospital spokeswoman.

FACES AMONG US

Maxine Hobbs turned 100 years old on Feb. 4. Photo by Jennifer Smith

HELLO

... s I e m a N y M

A glimpse of the people in our community

MAXINE HOBBS Centenarian, happy person My background My name is Maxine Hobbs, and today, Feb. 4, is my 100th birthday. I was born in Chicago, but my family moved to Tulsa when I was 2. My dad was with the sheriff’s department there. When I was 7, we moved to Illinois. I was schooled in Joliet through junior college.

It was during the Depression, so I had to get a job. I worked in an office for $5 a week.

I married a man who was in the Air Force, so we traveled a little. But wherever we lived, I always had a job. We ended up back in Chicago, where I got into credit and collections.

Then we went to California, my husband and I, because we didn’t like the snowstorms. Then we went to Reno, because I got a job at a brand-new store there.

But my husband wasn’t that well. He had cancer. So we went back to California, then Arizona. I got a job at Walmart, because it said they were hiring seniors. I worked until I was 78.

I came to Colorado in 1996 to be closer to my niece.

What are your hobbies and interests?

Not too much anymore. We gather around the table here (at Alyson Court apartments, where she lives) and talk. And the Broncos, I can’t miss them. After they win this game, I’ll be for the Rockies. I don’t get around that well. I never thought that I would have a walking problem.

When I was younger, I bowled. And I was on a volleyball team when I was in my 60s. I would have stayed on the team longer, but our leader, who was only in her 30s, died one night of a heart attack right during the game. So I quit.

I was quite a roller skater in my teens and 20s, and I love to dance, but I married a man with two left feet.

What’s the secret to your long, happy life?

I’m a very happy person. I love people, and everybody is so nice to me. I always had a lot of fun, and I always had a job. You have to have a good attitude. My mother said I never stopped smiling after I was born, even as a baby. I’ve just always been busy, and I’ve always been happy.

“However, the only incident being investigated happened C Jan. 22, when a fellow employee reported seeing the technologist involved replace a syringe of pain medication with c another syringe, which led to the termination of his employment at Swedish.”

B Englewood police are investigating the case and have j named Rocky Elbert Allen, 28, as a person of interest.

Williams said the hospital would not confirm or deny the identification of the individual provided by the police. n Dr. Matthew Fleishman, medical director of radiology at t Swedish, said the safety and well-being of all patients is the u hospital’s greatest concern.

“Swedish is my hospital and where my family receives u medical attention,” he said. “Of course, we are very conb cerned about this incident, and the chances any of the patients were infected with any blood-borne disease are very low. But, to protect our patients and ensure they are not A infected, we have professionals working around the clock to reach out to make sure all those who had surgery during the A e time this man was working here are contacted and urged to undergo free testing to make sure none of the infections l exist.”

Though not confirmed by hospital personnel, the con- s cern appears to center on possible transmission of infection N through reused needles. c Fleishman stressed the fact that during the Jan. 22 inci- C dent, the potentially mishandled syringe was identified and S none of the syringes involved were used in the surgery.

B He said there had been contact with about half the patients on the list, and by the end of the day Feb. 3, hospital personnel had talked to about 500 of the individuals regarding the case.

Cory Everett, chief of staff of the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations, said all surgical technicians are licensed by the state, and Allen’s license was suspended when Swedish notified the department of the apparent attempt to divert drugs.

The notification to the state was made Jan. 22 and the suspension hearing was held Jan. 29.

The license suspension report from the state said on Jan. 22 a fellow employee saw Allen remove the label from a syringe of fentanyl, a powerful drug used for anesthesia, and replace it with another labeled syringe. The employee reported Allen’s action to a supervisor who immediately had Allen leave the surgical area. Allen was fired by the hospital and the state revoked his license the same day.

The suspension report also stated that Allen submitted to drug testing and was found to have fentanyl and marijuana in his system.

It was noted the sharp tip of the needle of each syringe was protected with a plastic cap and neither cap was removed.

Local races not as loud, but just as important Candidates running for state, county, local offices

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com With all the hubbub around the national election, it can be easy to forget there are local ones happening all around us.

Colorado Community Media will catch up to the candidates in the coming weeks, but here’s a quick roundup.

Arapahoe County commissioners Three seats are up for grabs on the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners.

Republican incumbent Nancy Doty is leaving her District 1 seat to run for the state Senate post held by Democrat Linda Newell, who is term-limited. District 1 encompasses Bow Mar, Cherry Hills Village, Columbine Valley, Englewood, Littleton, Sheridan, Centennial west of Colorado Boulevard and unincorporated northern

Arapahoe County.

So far, three Republicans are running to replace Doty. State Rep. Kathleen Conti, of Littleton, is one of them. Also vying for the post is Phil Cernanec, a member of the Littleton City Council and its past mayor. His current term on council is up in November 2017, but he could run for another four-year term. The remaining District 1 commissioner candidate is Paulo Sibaja, a Centennial resident who is the chair of the Latino National Republican Coalition Colorado and a member of the Hispanic Advisory Board to the Colorado Republican Party. He also sits on the Advisory Task Force on Hispanic Affairs to the United States Senate Republicans.

The West Arapahoe Republicans will host a forum for the three candidates from 9:15 to 11:15 a.m. Feb. 13 at Bemis Library in Littleton.

In District 3, which covers eastern Centennial, southern Aurora, Foxfield, Bennett, Deer Trail and unincorporated eastern Arapahoe County, Republican Rod Bockenfeld is term-limited. Republicans Jeff Baker, Tom Coker and John Lyons want his job, as do Democrats Janet

Cook and Pervaiz Kaiser.

Democrat Bill Holen is hoping to keep his seat in District 5, representing Glendale and northern Aurora. Republican Bob LeGare is challenging him.

State-level races The race for Newell’s Senate District 26 seat — which encompasses Bow Mar, west Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Columbine Valley, Foxfield, Englewood, Greenwood Village, Littleton, Sheridan, and parts of Aurora — features names familiar to locals.

In addition to Doty, a Littleton Republican who was the Arapahoe County clerk before being elected a county commissioner, state Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, wants to replace Newell.

Kagan has also bumped up against term limits in his current seat. They are joined by the unaffiliated David Mayer.

Only one person has filed to replace Conti in House District 38. Michael Williams is a Centennial Republican.

In Kagan’s House District 3 — which includes Sheridan, Englewood, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, a small

part of south Denver, Littleton north of Littleton Boulevard and unincorporated Arapahoe County — five people are vying to replace him: Greenwood Village Democrat Jeff Bridges, Denver Republican Katy Brown, Greenwood Village Democrat Meg Froelich, Englewood Republican Rick Gillit and Englewood Republican Alex Wenzel.

Other elections Columbine Valley was scheduled to have an election in April, but it only got as many candidates as there were seats, so it has been canceled. But its equally tiny neighbor to the north, Bow Mar, will elect town board members on April 5. Rick Pilgrim, the current mayor, is not running for re-election, so residents will choose a new one.

Voters in the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District on May 3 will replace board member Sue Rosser due to term limits. Scott LaBrash’s term is also up, but he’s eligible for re-election.

Candidates have until Feb. 26 to file their intentions with the district.

A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY

Some work, some play in the snow Area digs out from last week’s storm

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com February roared in like a lion as mountain communities measured the Feb. 1 and 2 snowfall in feet and Denver suburbs like Englewood and Littleton were blanketed by 7 to 10 inches of the white stuff.

The snow was heavy enough that most area school districts closed for the day Feb. 2 and city offices delayed opening.

The storm passed in the early afternoon Feb. 2 and residents faced the challenge of digging out. People lucky enough to have them rolled out their snow blowers to clear sidewalks, driveways and street side parking areas.

Englewood city crews began working 12-hour shifts on Feb. 1. The most snow fell during the night hours and crews worked to keep the main thoroughfares clear for drivers.

By the afternoon of the second day, two city trucks were running in tandem pushing the snow out of traffic lanes.

But the snow also provided opportunities to play.

Imran Kha had his snowshoes on as he practiced the technique along a path he cut through the snow that fell on Rotolo Park in Englewood.

The sun peeked through in the early afternoon and many people made the trip to the hill behind the high school complex called “Mount Englewood.”

Adults, young people and toddlers took the opportunity to sled down the hill. One of those was Littleton resident Collin Goodwin.

He and friends built a mound of snow down near the bottom of the hill so the sliders could go airborne plus, to make the run longer, the group started the run by bumping its way down a flight of steps.

“The run was all a lot of fun,” he said. “The stairs are really a bumpy ride but they are fun. You get going pretty good and, when I hit the jump, I got a face full of snow. But that was fun, too.”

McKenna Birka, of Aurora, competes at Special Olympics Colorado’s Mile High Regional Skating Championship on Feb. 6 at the South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial. Figure skating allows the 11-year-old to “just let loose and be who I am,” she said.

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

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

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

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

The stores are generally located in areas of higher-income households.

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

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

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

“We noticed a lot of people in this area with nearby ZIP codes were scheduling to have donations picked up,” Belbusti said. “Our goal is to have a ReStore within five miles of a potential donor in the South Metro area.”

That way, people can easily drop off

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

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

Tom and Lindy Schneider, who live a mile from the Highlands Ranch ReStore, used to drive to downtown Denver to drop off their donations. They’re renovating their home and find it “nice to have a location close by.”

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

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

advantage of the new ReStore location.

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

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

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

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

“It’s a great way to help — the whole idea is to help other people,” she said.

And “we could’ve never afforded our remodel otherwise.”

Bickering continues on city council Change in meeting times is short-lived

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com On Groundhog Day, Littleton City Council spent its third meeting in a row discussing particulars of how it should behave as a body.

“These are just not issues worth our time,” Councilmember Bill Hopping said Feb. 2, saying council should be working on big-picture topics like transportation, infrastructure and housing.

Gun Continued from Page 1

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

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

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

Despite repeated attempts, Patrick Neville could not be reached for comment.

The bill passed a Senate committee

What councilmembers are talking about instead are things like what email address they should use, what documents should be printed and what time most people eat dinner.

That last one was part of a discussion about what time meetings should start.

Historically, council meetings started at 7 p.m., but council changed the time to 6:30 p.m. a couple of years ago. Two weeks ago, after Councilmember Peggy Cole said she thinks people might like to have more time to eat dinner before meetings, council reverted back to the 7 p.m. starting time. The city sent the news out via its Littleton eConnect notification system and posted the change to its website on Jan. 29.

That’s still what it said on Feb. 3, the day after council voted 4-3 to change it back to 6:30 p.m. Mayor Bruce Beckman made the suggestion, noting that it’s the time printed on the Littleton Calendar, a hard-copy publication that is annually made available to residents.

“I really, seriously, think we have more important issues in this community than what time this meeting starts,” said Mayor Pro Tem Debbie Brinkman before voting to change the time back.

Cole and councilmembers Jerry Valdes and Doug Clark wanted to keep it at 7 p.m.

However, they might get yet another chance to debate, because council then

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

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

Democrats in the Senate have spoken out against the measure.

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

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

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

As of last November, eight states have “constitutional carry”: Vermont, Montana, Alaska, Texas, Arizona, Wyoming, Arkansas and Kansas. Vermont has had “constitutional carry” since 1791, and Kansas was the most recent state to pass the law.

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

“I’m not sure if it makes (society) safer, but I would believe that a bill like this makes society freer,” Neville said, adding that three of the states that already have “constitutional carry” border Colorado. “Currently we have the ability to open carry in the state, and it seems a little ridiculous that if someone puts a coat on, they become a criminal.”

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

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

postponed a decision on the entire document that was the topic at hand, its legislative rules, to give them more time to review changes.

There originally was to be no discussion on the revised documents, because they were discussed during a study session the week before and placed on the consent agenda, which is reserved for noncontroversial topics that don’t legally require public comment. On Feb. 2, the consent agenda had six items. Clark pulled four of them, including a land transfer for the new Trailmark fire station, and Valdes pulled another. Ultimately, they all passed.

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

In Colorado, 342,839 background checks for firearms were approved in 2015 by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. That’s 33,000 more than 2014. release. “This bill would eliminate those common-sense measures, and create a loophole to allow dangerous and/or untrained individuals to carry concealed, loaded weapons in public. I’m disappointed my Republican colleagues voted against the will of the majority of Coloradans by supporting this out-oftouch bill.”

An international canine rescue Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies saves strays from Turkey

HOW TO HELP

By Crystal Anderson Canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com In 2015, Kevin Shipley, executive director of the Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies, based in Arvada, saw a humanitarian news piece about stray goldens in Istanbul, Turkey, being rescued by U.S. organizations. It pulled on his heartstrings.

“It was a 30-second bit I saw on TV,” Shipley said, “and now, it’s something local, it’s happening here,” Once a status symbol for the rich in Istanbul, these dogs, now seen as common, have been abandoned around the city and surrounding forests, Shipley said. To-

“We are professional home-finders for golden retrievers,” Shipley said. “That’s what we do, day in and day out. So we’ll find a good home for them.”

Since late 2015, Shipley and his team have been working alongside the California rescue organization to bring over these dogs. Eight will go to the California rescue and 10 to Colorado.

“When we first heard about the Turkey dogs, we thought it would be a good thing to dip our toe in and give them happy, healthy homes,” said Beth Flambures, a rescue board member and Turkey dog sponsor. “Goldens are a pretty important part of our lives, so any time we hear about something special we try and help.”

Transportation costs for each dog are estimated at $1,975. All but 15 percent has been covered by sponsorships and in-kind donations.

Upon arrival, these dog, ages 2-6, will

undergo a full veterinary examination, meet their sponsors and play with their fellow Turkey dogs.

“GRRR is in a very good position to be able to take these dogs from Turkey, care for them and provide them what they need,” said Kathy Jones, a supporter of the organization and sponsor. “The dogs are coming and, hopefully, there’s enough interest and enthusiasm to keep people involved in the program going forward.”

Named after Colorado features, Aspen, Telly and Colorado Honey will be housed at the rescue. Five will be placed in foster homes and five will stay at the rescue until they’ve acclimated and are ready to be adopted.

“It’s important we can do anything we can,” Flambures said. “Dogs are pretty universal. Everyone loves them, so it’s nice we’re going to be able to give them homes.”

VOICES

LOCAL

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

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

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

Wow, what an inspiration for a workout.

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

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

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

But not that day.

My friend carrying her skis inspired me to complete one of the best workouts I had in a long time. It was a little more time on the treadmill and a few more reps in the weight room, because as it turned out, I did indeed have at least one more in me too.

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

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

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

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

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

Valentine’s Day heart to tolerate

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

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

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

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

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

But millions upon millions disagree with me.

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

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

Unfortunately, half of us are misbehaving.

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

In Colorado, that means precinct caucuses.

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

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

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

A second gateway from the Mary Carter Greenway would lead to new lawn and shade areas, seating, an interactive kiosk, decorative plantings, a stone staircase, public art and other improvements.

The grant request is for $400,000 and will be matched with $400,000 from the city’s 2015 open space funds and $259,595 from Hudson Gardens.

Care made convenient Telemedicine allows doctors and specialists to remotely treat patients across Colorado from a single location

By Mike DiFerdinando | mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com

O

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

rologist on camera within that first three minutes.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

surers to reimburse health care providers for telehealth services in counties of all sizes. Previously, Colorado law had required reimbursement only for counties with 150,000 residents or less.

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

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

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

majority of the patients that we see,” Maxe said. “But it could be a seizure patient or something else. The other thing that we are starting to use it for is teleneuropysch evaluations.”

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

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

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

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

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

Auditions for dancers Denver Ballet Theatre’s Summer Intensive program will hold auditions, according to David Taylor, who runs DBT. (Vaganova-based preprofessional training.) Dates are Feb. 20 and Mar. 12 at 2 p.m. at the DBT Studios in Arapahoe County, 99 Inverness Drive East, Suite 250 A. The audition fee is $20. Reserve a spot at denverballettheatre.org, 303-799-6609.

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

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

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

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

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

The guild, supported in part by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, hosts monthly meetings with demonstrations (second Wednesdays) and spring and fall art shows at Bemis Library in Littleton.

Greenwood Village reaped benefits of arts coordinator’s years of devotion

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Village Days, art exhibits, children’s and adult’s art classes, All Colorado Juried Show, Greenwood and Beyond Photography Show, Stretch and Tone, Curtis Dancers, Teen Art Board, poetry readings, Arapahoe County Art Scholarship, jazz concerts and much more … Jo Cole has kept it all running smoothly.

And then, there has been the day-today operation of Greenwood Village’s Curtis Arts and Humanities Center, with its ongoing exhibits open to the public five days a week and some special evening events … she managed it all.

Curtis cultural arts coordinator Jo Cole, who retired Jan. 29, has lived Cole in Greenwood Village since 1962 and raised her three children there with her late husband. In 1983, she saw a request in the “Greenwood Honker” for a volunteer to bring art programs to the city.

She volunteered and, for a number of years, hung art shows at various locations in the city as she found them.

The city eventually decided to move the historic schoolhouse from the corner of Orchard Road and University Boulevard to its present location about a block west and use it for the community.

The school, originally completed in 1914, was restored and dedicated in 1991, and Cole started art programs from scratch, hiring Rick Brogan and Nancy Switzer to teach adult painting workshops. Children’s classes followed, as did Youth Art Month, when the gallery was filled with brightly colored work by schoolchildren.

The next Curtis exhibit might have been by sophisticated metro-area artists or perhaps by Chinese painters.

She built relationships with many prominent artists, including Quang Ho, who recently exhibited with Daniel Sprick and also conducted a workshop.

Her final exhibit, “Less is More,” hangs through Feb. 19, with large paintings including color field, pure abstractions and semi-realism by Jahe Smith, Joanne Burney, Kevin Weckbach (who also teaches at Curtis), Bill Hayes, Nancy Switzer, Judith Bennett and Kevin Scott.

There have been related lectures through the years — often by the exhibit jurors or a featured artist, and at times, a bit of music or poetry.

At 88, Cole plans to paint and write, visit family and enjoy cooking and painting with her 11-year-old granddaughter.

She said she grew up in Baltimore, in one of those row houses with the white front step that you see pictured. “Seven of us lived there, including Grandma,” she recalls. She was involved in art as a kid. As the youngest of four sisters, a child of first-generation Italian immigrants, her first language was not English, but she learned in time to succeed in school.

She put herself through secretarial school and went to work for the Martin Company in Baltimore, where she met her future husband.

They moved to Colorado in 1956 and — lonely — she found an outlet in painting, according to her daughters.

In her mid-50s, she enrolled at Metro State University, graduating in 1982 and bringing that training to her work in Greenwood Village the next year. She says she needs to finish a master’s degree now in nonprofit management at Regis University.

Whatever develops next for Curtis, Jo Cole has left a legacy to the building and to her city, where she will continue to reside.

Cole’s final exhibit, ‘Less is More,’ hangs through Feb. 19, with large paintings including color field, pure abstractions and semi-realism by Jahe Smith, Joanne Burney, Kevin Weckbach (who also teaches at Curtis), Bill Hayes, Nancy Switzer, Judith Bennett and Kevin Scott.

ART REVIEW

‘Art of the State’ is sprawling show Arvada Center exhibit covers three galleries

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Allow extra time to visit the large, impressive “Art of the State” exhibit in three galleries, more than 10,000 square feet, at the Arvada Center through March 27.

Arvada Center curator Colin Parson said there were 1,434 entries by 511 artists for the exhibit, which was open to all Colorado artists. From those, jurors Gwen Chanzit (modern art curator, Denver Art Museum), Michael Chavez (public art program manager, Denver Arts and Venues) and Parson selected 148 works by 124 artists to be exhibited.

Entries range from large, floor-toceiling installations to small, exquisitely crafted ceramic pieces — and all points in between. They are nicely positioned in the galleries and lighting is good, which makes a huge difference in how they read to the viewer. Important small details often deliver a message.

An example might be seen in the Best in Show award-winner, “St. Fortitude” by Denver painter Kevin Sloan. The large acrylic on canvas work is in what he calls an “allegorical realism” style and shows a seal balancing a candlestick on its nose. A closer look at this skillfully crafted painting shows graffiti on the seal’s skin, in Sloane’s hyper-realistic rendering, which depicts a bunch of pocket watches scattered beneath the animal and a fruit-laden orange tree branch at his back. “How did the graffiti happen?” one wonders as she begins to construct a story … “Where has he been?”

“Barn” is an encaustic painting by Patricia Aaron of Greenwood Village, one of 148 works selected from 1,434 entries for inclusion in “Art of the State” at the Arvada Center. Photos by Sonya Ellingboe A look at Sloane’s website offers a clue: “My current works are allegorical depictions of what occurs when the natural and man-made worlds meet. I’ve created a body of work that speaks about our modern technological environment and simultaneously presents images of natural beauty and mystery …”

Many artists offer phone statements: look at the label for a number to dial.

There are a generous number of awards posted throughout the gallery, including some from local museums such as the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Engle-

Lakewood girls tough to defend

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

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

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

Rock Canyon, coached by Nicole Vanderpool, finished with 510.50 points with Regis Jesuit placing second with 429 points.

Heritage was third with 416.50 markers.

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

She was also on the Jaguars’ league

Heritage sophomore Kylie Andrews won the 200-yard freestyle in meet and league record time. She also captured the 100 butterfly and swam a leg on the Eagles’ 200-freestyle relay team at the Continental League swimming and diving championships held Feb. 6 at the Heritage pool.

Rock Canyon captured the team title.

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

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

Lakewood (163) is averaging 63.6 points, 28.1 rebounds, 16.6 assists, Jim Benton 16.5 steals and 5.9 OVERTIME blocks per game, which are all above the per-game national averages compiled by MaxPreps.

Poisson has height on his team in 6-foot-3 sophomore twins Camilla and Kira Emsbo plus three other players who are 6 feet tall, including senior captain and all-around athlete Mckenna Bishop.

And the Tigers have a terrific scorer in 5-7 senior guard Mackenzie Forrest, who became the school’s all-time leading scorer earlier this season. Senior Marisela Perez keeps every player active with her assists and steals.

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

Lakewood was 5-3 early in the season, losing to IMG Academy of Bradenton, Florida, and Vista Murieta (California) in the La Jolla County Day Tournament, and then to Grandview in the Grandview Invitational.

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

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

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

Ponderosa 220-pounder Cohlton Shultz and a couple of his teammates did a little more. They were actually singing along with “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

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

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

Swimming preliminaries begin at 4 p.m. on Feb. 12. Diving prelims are set for 9 a.m. Feb. 13 with swim and dive finals scheduled to start at 2 p.m.

The 5A state swimming championships will be held at the same time on the same days at the Edora Pool Ice Center (EPIC) in Fort Collins.

Highlands Ranch rolls along If you want to talk about league dominance, look at what Highlands Ranch Benton continues on Page 22

championship 400-freestyle relay team. When she dove into the pool for the anchor leg she was well behind, but she wound up stretching to touch first at the finish to edge Heritage swimmer CJ Mitchell.

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

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

February 11, 2016 the 50 free and 100 back at the state meet. I hope so. It was so much fun for Rock Canyon to win. We’ve never won before, so it’s obviously exciting.”

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

Kochevar shared some of the spotlight at the Continental League championships with Heritage sophomore Kylie Andrews, who also won three events. Andrews set a pool and league record of 1:50.43 in finishing first in the 200-yard freestyle. She also won the 100 butterfly and was on the Eagles’ first-

place, 200-freestyle relay team.

“It was a fun race because there were great vibes and all my season training paid off,” said Andrews.

“So then it was like both of the races felt good.”

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

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

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

is doing this season in the Continental League.

In seven league victories, the Falcons, topranked in the CHSAANow. com poll, have a winning margin of 40.4 points a game.

The closest call Highlands Ranch has encountered was a 46-37 win over ThunderRidge on Jan. 22, when the Grizzlies were ranked second.

Highlands Ranch is 19-1 with its only loss a 76-60 setback to Bellevue, Washington, on Dec. 19 in the Nike Tournament of Champions.

Bellevue guard Anna Wilson, sister of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell, was the most valuable player for Bellevue in one of the top divisions of the Nike tourney; Bellevue is unbeaten and is Washington’s top-ranked team.

Gilbreath eyes Gophers’ starting spot Sophomore Lucas Gilbreath, a 6-foot-1, 208-pound lefthander, is vying to be one of the University of Minnesota’s starting pitchers as the Gophers open the college baseball season Feb. 19 in Arizona

against the University of Utah.

Gilbreath, a graduate of Legacy, pitched 18 times in relief for the Gophers as a freshman. He compiled a 1-3 record with a 5.46 earned run average with 30 strikeouts and 18 walks in 28 innings.

He turned heads last summer pitching for the St. Cloud Rox in the Northwoods League. He went 5-1 with the league’s secondlowest ERA, 2.45. He fanned 53 batters in 44 innings.

Kudos to Continental League swim volunteers A couple weeks ago while attending a boys basketball game, there were no rosters available for fans and I was told to look online to get rosters.

It turned out to be a guessing game the rest of the contest trying to identify players.

So it was real nice to get heat sheets and results printed out and stapled together by the Heritage volunteers at the Feb. 6 Continental League Swimming Championships.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Answers

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

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

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

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

Misc. Private Legals PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE SALE WHEREAS, on October 25, 2002, James C. Livesay and Gertrude M. Livesay executed a Note payable to Financial Freedom Senior Funding Corporation, a Subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB ("Lender") in the original principal amount of $334,500.00 ("Note"), which Note is secured by a certain deed of trust granted by James C. Livesay and Gertrude M. Livesay, as grantors in favor of Financial Freedom Senior Funding Corporation, a Subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB , as beneficiary, and the Arapahoe County Public Trustee, as Trustee ("Deed of Trust"), which Deed of Trust was recorded October 31, 2002 as Reception No. B2206544, in the Office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Arapahoe, Colorado.

WHEREAS, the Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development ("Secretary") pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and WHEREAS, the Note and Deed of Trust are now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to the following assignment: assignment dated October 5, 2007 and recorded on November 13,2007, as Reception No. B7144803, in the Office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Arapahoe, Colorado; and

WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable;

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C., §3751 et seq., by 24 CFR Part 27 Subpart B, and by the Secretary's designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, dated October 22, 2012, a copy of which is attached hereto and recorded of even date hereof, notice is hereby given that on:

DATE OF SALE: February 29,2016 TIME OF SALE: at 10:30 a.m. local time PLACE OF SALE: At the front steps of the County Administration Building 5334 South Prince Street Littleton, CO 80120 all of the Real Property and all of the personal property at or used in connection with the Real Property, as described below, will be sold at public action to the highest bidder:

Lot 20, Block 26, Broadmoor 5th Filing, County of Arapahoe, State of Colorado, APN No: APN # 2077-22-2-1O-00S (referred to as the "Real Property") which has an address of: 6028 South Westview Street, Littleton, CO 80120

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid $282,430.70 plus any additional fees and costs of the foreclosure commissioner.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $28,243.00 (10% of the Secretary's bid) in the form of a certified check or cashier's check made out to the Secretary Of HUD.

Each oral bid need not be accompanied by an additional deposit. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $28,243 .00 must be presented before the bidding is closed.

The deposit of the successful bidder is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence.

This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier's check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for IS-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashiers check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure.

The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD Field Office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the tenns of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant, and has no obligation to deliver the property vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure sale is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the Note and Deed of Trust are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cahier's check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed.

The amount that must be paid if the Note and Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $227,082.32 as of June 27, 2015 plus the Foreclosure Commissioner's fees and costs plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner's attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred-in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

Tender of payment by certified or cashier's check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.
