Disaster drill preps for real thing Event helped train Citizen Emergency Response Team class members

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cries for help from people with horrible-looking injuries filled the air March 29 at Bradford Auto Body in Littleton. It appeared very real but it was all part of the Citizen Emergency Response Team final class training drill.

“We have 22 members of the class here today plus 16 volunteer victims,” said Mickey Kempf, project coordinator. “We also have members of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s (Office) and emergency medical

personnel from Littleton Fire Rescue on hand to help us with the drill.”

The students attended classes to learn to deal with a disaster until first responders arrive, Kempf said.

The scenario for the drill was to deal with the aftermath of a storm that pelted the area with 3-inch hail that was followed by a tornado.

Makeup artist Marian O’Brien-Clark volunteered to use her skills to create the horrible-appearing wounds the victims supposedly suffered.

She had designed wounds such a man who suffered a compound fracture of one leg and a woman who had a finger severed.

Linda Sinclair, volunteer chaplain at Swedish Medical Center, came to help with Drill continues on Page 18

Website helps with outreach City turns to Nextdoor to get neighborly

used in things like brakes, shock absorbers and flexible electronics such as roll-up keyboards.

After graduating from East High School in Denver in 1954, Vail took his two passions with him off to veterinary school at Colorado State University. There he met Marvin Beeman, who grew up on what was then the Phipps Ranch, in the heart of what is known today as Highlands Ranch.

Beeman’s father tended to the foxhounds that were kept for the Arapahoe Hunt Club.

The Phipps Ranch, site of the Highlands Ranch Mansion, was south of what was then called Littleton Large Animal Clinic, founded in 1950 by Harry Johnson.

Back then it was north of where it now lives in a different 1913 mansion at 8025 S. Santa Fe Drive. Beeman went to work there straight after college and took Vail

With city staff gearing up to get to work on master plans for individual neighborhoods, they’re putting to use the $50,000 council authorized for outreach.

First off, they upped Mark Barons’ hours to work as a full-time neighborhood resources coordinator. The three big projects he’s been working on are setting up a team of volunteer mediators, planning a series of neighborhood meetings and getting the word out about the website Nextdoor.

Nextdoor is like Facebook for neighborhoods, and Barons said it has the same investors. Users select the neighborhood they live in, downtown or Wolhurst Landing, for example, or can start a new one if theirs isn’t available yet. The company verifies each user’s address by requiring them to enter their phone number or credit-card number, guarding against outside “trolls.”

“As these larger neighborhoods get self-subdivided, I think that’s going to be an interesting idea to see how people really see their neighborhood,” said Councilmember Randy Stein during council’s March 25 study session.

Barons stressed that while the city is promoting the website and can post to it, staff can’t see the conversations going on in the neighborhoods unless they happen to live there and sign up. The police use it to post crime alerts, and Barons posts upcoming events and other newsworthy tidbits.

Veterinarian named Grand Marshal Dr. Charlie Vail’s honor comes in the Year of the Horse

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com After the Western Welcome Week board decided to recognize the Chinese Year of the Horse by choosing the theme “Giddy Up!,” the directors chose the obvious person to be Grand Marshal: Dr. Charlie Vail, a partner in Littleton Equine Medical Center.

“I was thrilled,” Vail said. “I know I’m supposed to be more modest than that.

But immodestly, I am proud to be counted among the ranks of many of my friends who have held the title.”

While Vail is pleased to be recognized for tending to horses, he admits cows, not horses, were his first love.

“The cow is a very forgiving creature,” POSTAL ADDRESS

he said. “They’ve got a very thick skin.

They’re not as fragile as horses.”

Back when Vail was just a little mutton buster, his family lived on a ranch in Los Sauces, at the confluence of the Rio Grande and Conejos rivers near Alamosa.

“My joy was being a ranch kid,” said Vail.

It was there he first knew he wanted to care for the free-range cattle that roamed the fields, though he also had a love for science bred from a family filled with engineers.

His grandfather, the original Charlie Vail, was a state highway engineer who worked with the 10th Mountain Division to design Vail Pass, after which the town of Vail is named. His uncle, Willis Winslow, was an electrical engineer with Public Service Company in Denver who discovered the Winslow Effect. It’s a phenomenon that changes some liquids into gels or solids when exposed to electricity, now

Committee rejects audit for health insurance exchange effort Exchange has already cleared four independent efforts

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that would have allowed for Colorado’s health insurance marketplace to face a state audit died on a party-line vote in a Democrat-controlled Senate committee on March 26.

The bill had received overwhelming bipartisan support in the House, but the Senate Health and Human Services Committee rejected the legislation, with Democrats arguing that Connect for Health Colorado is already being scrutinized by independent auditors as well as the federal government.

“I’m worried that we’re... throwing more government at them when they have already hired private people to look at their performance,” said Sen. Irene Aguilar, DDenver, the committee chairwoman.

Connect for Health Colorado is the state’s health insurance marketplace for Coloradans who wish to shop for insurance opportunities that were made possible through the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ObamaCare.

Earlier this year, the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Committee recommended on a 7-1 vote to grant the state auditor the ability to conduct a full performance audit

the Internal Revenue Service has done a review of the exchange and that the benefit marketplace also reports to the federal government on a monthly basis.

Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk, said it would be premature for the state to launch an audit of a new program, especially since auditors wouldn’t have any “best practice” measures for which to provide a comparison.

“I think that they already have a number of audits that have demonstrated their performances have been far better than most of the health exchanges in the other states,” Nicholson said.

Democratic Sens. Linda Newell of Littleton and John Kefalas of Fort Collins joined Nicholson and Aguilar in voting against the bill. Republican Sens. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs, Larry Crowder of Alamosa and Kevin Lundberg of Berthoud all voted no.

Republicans insisted that the legislation wasn’t a commentary on the Affordable Care Act, which their party has adamantly opposed, both here and nationally.

“It’s important to separate the oranges from the apples,” said Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, a committee member.

“This is not a statement for or against the exchange or for or against the national Obamacare program.”

However, after the vote, Lundberg blasted Democrats on the committee for killing the legislation, “in an attempt to cover up the failures of ObamaCare.”

Brackney bids farewell to South Metro chamber Dozens turn out for former president’s farewell presentation

By Chris Rotar

crotar@coloradocommunitymedia.com As president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce for 10 years, John Brackney wore many hats — literally and figuratively.

During a farewell address of sorts, four days after announcing his resignation, Brackney used all manner of headwear to tell the story of what the chamber has meant to him. Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon and Littleton Mayor Phil Cernanec were among the dozens of public officials and chamber members gathered for the March 28 event at the chamber’s headquarters in Centennial.

Brackney did not discuss why he suddenly resigned March 24, nor did he talk about what his plans are. Neither was there any talk of the process for finding a replacement.

This day was really about chamber members taking their hats off to Brackney.

“If you’ve had a great leader, that leader has left you in dramatically better shape than when he came,” said Rick Whipple,

CEO of WhippleWood CPAs and the chairman-elect of the chamber’s board of directors.

“He has left the chamber in great shape.”

The presentation began with Brackney unloading two large bags of hats, a motley assortment he had accumulated over the years, on a pair of tables. Over the next hour, he would wear them all.

There was the multicolored hat that he said represents fun. There was the baseball cap with the City of Centennial’s logo — a symbol that came to be after much hard work by Brackney and other chamber members helped secure the city’s incorporation in 2001.

There was a hat with dreadlocks spilling out, one the former Arapahoe County Commissioner said represents diversity.

“We should respect diversity,” Brackney said. “All these hats stand for different cultures and backgrounds.”

Brackney shared symbolism in each hat.

Some more examples: • A cowboy hat: “We’re straight shooters.”

• A hard hat: “Please build something at the chamber.”

• A winter cap: “When’s it’s cold, put on a hat and keep going.”

• Swimming goggles: “Sometimes we don’t want to wear a hat.”

John Brackney used hats, including the one he is wearing here that he said represents “fun,” to make a variety of points during the “Farewell President’s Leadership Forum” at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial on March 28. Brackney resigned as president and CEO of the chamber four days earlier. Photo by Chris Rotar

Party divisions apparent in budget fight Democrats focus on education, but not enough says GOP

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Democrat-majority state House passed a $23 billion budget on March 28 that will increase funding for education, aid flood and wildfire victims, and will bolster reserves by stashing away millions in “rainy day” dollars.

But only one Republican voted for the annual “long bill” as GOP members blasted Democrats for not funding specific measures that are of importance to the minority party, including money for increased drunken driving penalties and what they are saying is not enough money for K-12 education.

The passage of the 2014-2015 fiscal year budget came on the heels of several hours of debate that spanned two days as lawmakers wrangled over a long bill that comes with more dollars than last year’s, thanks in part to a state economy that continues to gain steam.

“We are in a better place, we can make investments, we can start putting back

the pieces that were harmed in the great recession,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver.

The bill includes a general fund budget — made up of tax revenue that supports the operations of most state departments — of $8.7 billion, a $600 million increase over the current year’s budget.

About half of the general fund dollars support K-12 and higher education, both of which will receive significant increases in the new budget.

Through the annual school finance act and the Student Success Act — school funding measures that are making their way through the Legislature — the budget will pump about $200 million in additional K-12 education funding that increase per-pupil funding by $200 per student.

That money will also be used to enroll more kids in preschool and full-day kindergarten, as well as to fund English language learning programs.

Higher education will receive an additional $100 million in funding, the majority of which will go toward student financial aid.

“We are making a huge investment in our K-12 system,” Ferrandino said. “This is a responsible budget that sets us up for success in the future.”

The budget also includes an additional $78 million in disaster relief funds.

Money will be available to provide tax relief for homeowners who were impacted by last year’s floods and wildfires, something that was a top priority for the Legislature coming into this year’s session.

In addition, the long bill includes 2.5 percent pay increases for state employees and Medicaid providers.

Gov. John Hickenlooper will see a few things in the budget that he will surely use in his re-election campaign literature.

That includes money that will update outdated computer technology at the Department of Motor Vehicles, which aims to significantly reduce wait times at DMV offices.

And the state’s emergency reserves will increase from 5 percent under this year to 6.5 percent, under the new budget. That was a key piece to Hickenlooper’s budget request to the Joint Budget Committee, prior to the start of the legislative session.

The budget also includes about $50 million that will be set aside for bills that are currently going through legislative process.

Lawmakers tend to fight more when there is an abundance of money, rather than during lean budget years. And that

was the case in House on March 27 and 28, when more than 40 budget amendments were introduced by lawmakers who were seeking funding for various priorities.

They included failed efforts by Republicans to set aside $1.7 million to pay for initial funding of a bill that would create a felony DUI in Colorado for repeat cases of drunken driving. That effort is being sponsored by Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, who is also running for attorney general.

“Democrats stated they had set aside money for priorities, yet I cannot think of a bigger priority than protecting Colorado families from habitual drunk drivers,” Waller said through a statement issued after the first night of House debate.

Republicans also blasted Democrats for not support GOP measures to increase funding for road construction and backfilling K-12 education budget cuts that has created the so-called “negative factor.”

The budget includes $100 million that will be used to buy down the negative factor, but Republicans wanted that buy-down to be increased by as much as $35 million more than what’s being proposed.

The budget bill now heads to the Senate.

Gun lawsuit trial begins Judge’s ruling could impact recently enacted laws in Colorado

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s new gun laws are “burdensome” and “a symbolic gesture that does not improve public safety,” a lawyer said on the first day of testimony of a trial that takes on the legislation passed in 2013.

But a state’s attorney said that the laws do nothing to take away guns from lawabiding citizens and that the motivation behind the legislation is to curb mass shootings like the ones that occurred at Columbine High School and from inside an Aurora movie theater.

“In response to these events, Colorado’s elected representatives made a policy decision to pass two pieces of legislation that appropriately balances the state’s public safety concerns with the respect of the Second Amendment rights of citizens,” said Deputy Attorney General Matthew Grove.

The lawyers’ arguments opened a twoweek trial over a lawsuit filed against the state and Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper that alleges that two recently enacted gun laws violate gun owners’ Second Amendment right to bear arms.

At question are laws that expand background checks on gun sales in Colorado and limit the number of rounds that an ammunition magazine can hold to 15.

The lawsuit is being brought by gun rights groups and is being heard in a Denver U.S. District Court by Judge Marcia Kreiger.

A successful effort by the plaintiffs could put the new laws — which were signed by Hickenlooper last year — in jeopardy.

Debate on the bills last year caused highly-charged partisan rancor at the Capitol between Democrats who backed the efforts and Republicans who uniformly voted against them. The bills also led to last year’s recall elections, where three Democratic lawmakers either lost or re-

signed their seats.

The new background checks law expands a previous statute that requires gun shops to conduct a criminal history prior to the sale of any firearm. The updated law expands that to all sales and transfers, regardless of where or how they occur.

Plaintiffs’ attorney Richard Westfall argued that the new background checks law is unreasonable and unenforceable. He took particular issue with a part of the law that prohibits the transfer of guns among friends and family members, without having background checks conducted.

“There is no justification for such a burden, particularly because this statute doesn’t even work,” Westfall said.

Westfall also took on the magazine limit ban, which bans new sales and transfers of high-capacity ammunition magazines.

The law does not apply to existing magazines that may already be in a person’s possession.

Westfall argued that the law is unenforceable because “tens of millions of magazines over 15 rounds exist.” He also said the Legislature was “moved by highprofile mass shootings” and that the laws are “a symbolic gesture that do not improve public safety.”

“The question is whether the magazine ban will have any positive impact on public safety at any level,” he said.

But Grove pushed back against those arguments. He contends that expanding background checks to all potential gun buyers “makes it more difficult for a prohibited person from acquiring firearms.”

In defending the new magazine limit, Grove said that restricting the number of rounds that a killer can hold limits the damage that he or she can inflict.

“Reloading creates a crucial window of opportunity for a victim to escape or to disarm a gunman,” Grove said.

And Grove said that the laws are not aimed at limiting the possession of guns by a law-abiding citizen.

“It does not take these items away from people who already own them. It does not restrict their lawful use. It does not limit the choices of firearms Coloradans can carry,” Grove said.

Mary Wise didn’t know when she moved into Powers Circle apartments nearly a year ago that her husband would die soon after, but she was happy to have a familiar and comfortable place to come home to when he did.

“It’s home,” she said. “I think there’s security about staying in one place. When I was a kid, we moved around a lot. This is a good place to live. This apartment fits me.”

Wise, who has lived in Littleton for more than 30 years, is one of 24 tenants in that building and two other buildings on Powers Circle who were relocated by South Metro Housing Options in order to finish a total renovation of the 1960s-era stock. Wise downsized into a one-bedroom unit after the death of her husband, and loves the upgrades that came with the move. It’s a top-to-bottom renovation that includes new carpet, paint, kitchen and bathroom fixtures, lighting and a state-of-the-art fire system that connects right to Littleton Fire Rescue.

“It’s a strong building, it was just tired, so we’re giving it new breath,” said Dan Burnham, who will retire as SMHO’s executive director next effective May 15. He considers the Powers Place project one of his proudest accomplishments during his time there.

The project is designed as “affordable housing,” as opposed to “lowincome housing.” There are minimum and maximum income limits — $38,000 a year for a family of four — capped at 60 percent of the median

The $7 million project was made possible through a partnership with a private investment firm. The company gets tax credits for 10 years for fronting SMHO the money. SMHO gets instant equity, so it can guarantee lower-than-market rent for 30 years.

Burnham hopes there will be more such deals in SMHO’s future to help revitalize the northeast neighborhood. He expects the apartments to draw entry-level professionals like nurses and firefighters, retired folks, young people who work in the area and families just starting out.

“I think it will be a lot of people who work in Littleton but can’t afford to live in Littleton, and this gives them an opportunity to live close to where they work,” he said.

The screening process SMHO uses will apply there, as well, with prospective tenants submitting to credit and criminal background checks and visits to their current home. SMHO also talks to their former landlords from the last five years.

The facelift is supposed to wrap up

by April 17, and Burnham said there are just three of 69 units left to fill.

Wise, who is a retired child-care worker and doesn’t drive, said part of what she likes about living there is that it’s so close to so many things she can walk to. She’s looking forward to the new King Soopers being completed, but in the meantime she has help getting her shopping done.

“I like this building, it’s quiet,” said Wise. “I want neighbors that are quiet but friendly. I’ve never had a problem here, and maintenance is always quick to come.”

Election is May 6

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com Stan Szabelak rounds out the ballot for the South Suburban Parks and Recreation Board of Directors election, to be held May 6.

He joins Sally Daigle, Travis Nicks, John Watson and Tom Wood in challenging incumbents Michael Anderson, Pam Eller and John Ostermiller.

SSPR maintains parks, open space, golf courses and recreation centers throughout the south-metro area, serving Littleton, Sheridan, Lone Tree, Centennial, Columbine Valley and Bow Mar.

Szabelak, an engineering manager with RTD who lives in the St. Mary’s neighborhood of Littleton, has resided in the district for 30 years.

Like the other candidates, he wants to keep the district safe, clean, aesthetically pleasing and financially sound.

“My priority is to ensure that the elements that are part of our district are kept up and in a state of good repair,” he said.

Whoever wins will join Sue Rosser and Scott LaBrash behind the dais.

The five-member nonpartisan board is elected at large to four-year terms, and members earn up to $1,600 a year.

Man gets two years for Ponzi scheme Gale bilked investors out of $900,000 Staff report Littleton-area resident Michael B. Gale, 66, was sentenced March 27 to two years in federal prison for wire fraud and money laundering, after entering a guilty plea in December.

“The prison sentence handed down in this case is appropriate given the defendant’s criminal conduct,” said U.S. Attorney John Walsh in a statement. “Another con man has been held accountable for taking people’s hard-earned money.”

Records show that Gale, owner of Capital Management Group, took nearly $900,000 from nine investors, telling them he was going to invest it for them in commodities. Instead, he put the money in his own bank account to spend on himself and establish a Ponzi scheme.

Gale faked tax documents and bank statements to convince the investors the fund was making money, showing it had accumulated $3.5 million. He eventually put $100,000 of it in a trade account, which he opened on false pretenses. In fact, he wasn’t even licensed to manage a commodities pool.

The investments Gale actually did make lost money. He sometimes used

new investors’ funds to make partial payments to previous investors and ended up paying out about $447,477 over the course of his scheme.

“Investors should always be wary and cautioned of investment proposals that promise high returns,” said Stephen Boyd, IRS special agent in charge. “If it seems too good to be true, it is probably an investment scheme.”

After Gale serves his time in prison, he’ll spend three years on supervised release. U.S. District Court Judge Robert E. Blackburn also ordered him to repay about $425,880 to his victims.

Gale was released on bond after the hearing and will report to a prison facility once one is designated.

Legislators hope bill soars Special to Colorado Community Media As wildfire season approaches, several Colorado state lawmakers are pushing the state to secure its own aerial firefighting fleet. Republican State Sen. Steve King, Senate President Morgan Carroll and Senate Minority leader Bill Cadman are behind SB 14-164, a bipartisan effort that would give Colorado its own firefighting fleet.

King and others hosted an open house on March 26 at Centennial Airport that fea-

tured a live water drop demonstration of the Martin Marietta C-130 Hercules Next Generation Airtanker, built by Coulson Aviation USA. Last year, SB 13-245 created the Colorado Firefighting Air Corps, but the state currently has no such aircraft. Should the new bill pass, it would permit the state, for the 2014 fire season, to purchase, lease, or contract for the use of up to three firefighting helicopters. For the 2015 fire season and beyond, the state could use up to four large aircraft from the federal government or other sources.

Recall elections bill passes Senate along party lines Republicans say measure tramples state constitution

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Democrat-sponsored bill that would re-shape how Colorado voters cast ballots in recall elections passed the state Senate on March 28, as Republicans cried foul.

The bill would allow people more time to vote and would provide more options for casting their ballots in recall elections — something that wasn’t possible during last fall’s historic legislative recalls, which resulted in the ousting of two Democratic Senate members.

But Republicans blasted the effort as an end-run around the state constitution that is clearly aimed at driving higher Democratic turnout in recall elections.

“Just because the constitution is an inconvenient truth, it’s still the truth,” said Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, RColorado Springs, in a Senate debate that preceded the vote.

Democrats say the idea behind Senate Bill 158 is to sync modern election code with outdated election language in the state constitution — which was written more than a century prior to last year’s recalls.

The Colorado Constitution states that a candidate has up to 15 days prior to Election Day to submit enough signatures to appear on a recall ballot.

The Democrat-sponsored bill would require candidates to submit signatures 15 days prior to when ballots are made available to voters, which occurs long before the actual day of the election.

The changes would give county clerks more time to process mail ballots, something that didn’t happen during last year’s recalls — where Democratic Sens. John Morse of Colorado Springs and Angela Giron of Pueblo lost their seats in elections that were spurred by their votes on guncontrol legislation.

The elections were preceded by court battles that culminated with a Denver Dis-

trict Court judge ruling that the mailing of ballots could not be possible in those recalls.

Sen. Matt Jones, D-Louisville, a bill sponsor, said that resulted in “terrible” voter turnout last year. Jones said that about 36 percent of eligible voters showed up to vote in Giron’s recall election, while only 21 percent of voters cast ballots in the Morse contest.

Jones said that the lack of a mail ballot option particularly harmed military voters, the elderly and persons with disabilities, because they had a more difficult time getting to the polls on a single Election Day. “Nobody benefits from chaos, especially the voters,” Jones said. “This aligns the constitution in such a way so that people who want to vote can vote.”

Jones also cited bill support from the nonpartisan County Clerk’s Association.

Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, also a bill sponsor, said the bill “modernizes” recall elections in a way that Colorado voters have become accustomed to, through the current general election process.

“This is just taking the experience from last year and making our laws more understandable for everyone involved,” Steadman said.

But Republicans blasted the bill for “running roughshod over the constitution.” They argued that the language in the constitution clearly defines that Election Day means just that — and not the weekslong early voting process that Democrats say it is.

“We’re redefining Election Day here and I don’t think that is something we can do,” said Sen. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley. “That is unconstitutional.”

The bill now heads to the House after it passed the Senate following an 18-17 party-line vote. The result did not sit well with Republican Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch.

“The Democrats lost multiple court battles to stop the recalls, they then lost two Senators to recall elections, so today they are attempting to amend the constitution without a vote of the people,” Harvey said.

“Their disrespect of the voters of Colorado knows no bounds.”

Blaming is obstacle on road to accountability “It wasn’t me!”

“It’s not my fault!”

“I can’t believe they did that!”

To me, personal accountability is right up there with character, integrity, and honesty on the value scale. When we make mistakes, and we will, it is our responsibility to own them, fix the issue if possible, move on and learn from each one. As for me, I am doing a lot of learning these days … if you know what I mean.

What we have to avoid is the “Blame Game” when it comes to blaming ourselves or others. Whether we try and hide from our errors out of shame, or we have developed a coping mechanism over time that allows us to point the finger of blame at others, it’s time to step up and take ownership of everything we do. And by the way, some of you may have heard or seen this before, but when we point the finger of blame at someone else, there are still three

fingers pointing back in our direction.

Do others need to be held accountable?

Absolutely. We all make mistakes and err from time to time. And in each case the level of conversation or appropriateness of a discussion around the event will be driven or dictated by the depth of the relationship between the people involved. When we have the strength and confidence to hold ourselves accountable for our own actions, it becomes so much easier to talk with others about their accountability and

responsibility. It’s when we act one way and think that it would be OK to absolve ourselves from being held accountable, yet we feel like we can point out the erroneous ways of others, is where we get ourselves in trouble.

Accountability sometimes carries a negative connotation, but it doesn’t always have to. People just don’t like being held accountable; it is a strong word for sure and does carry a heavy weight or even burden for some people.

Accountability should be a positive word and used to motivate, inspire, and encourage ourselves and others. When used negatively, accountability can become a weapon. When it is used positively it can serve as a tool and launching pad for greatness.

The next time you consider pointing your finger somewhere, point it in the direction of where you want to go instead

of pointing it at where you have been or at someone else. Now when you do this, point your finger towards your destination, you will still have three fingers pointing back at yourself. This will remind you that you are the one responsible and accountable for reaching and exceeding your goals.

So are you playing the “Blame Game” or are you using accountability as a tool to help drive you toward the achievement of your goals and dreams? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com. And when we leverage accountability as a tool and not a weapon, it really will be a better than good week.

Session more than halfway through Now over halfway into the legislative session, we’re just getting the budget (or the Long Bill) from the House and working on it this week in the Senate. I’ll be able to give more details in my column next month, but in the meantime, listed below, are more of my bills that are making their way through the process.

house Bill 1271

You build them up, they let you down Who and what can you count on?

Who and what can you rely upon, each and every day? (Let’s leave God out of this.)

It’s a good question. Even the best of friends flake out now and then. The best appliances go on the blink. Technology is always vulnerable.

Your car can’t be trusted 100 percent of the time. Your cookies are broken.

There are bones in your burrito.

Meteorologists? They’re good, but they’re not perfect. I have never complained. Most of the time they are right on it. I always keep in mind that they are not predicting the weather on my street.

I can’t count on my favorite actor to always, always be brilliant. The same goes for my favorite musicians. When I was a teenager, if a group had two hits, they would record an album. There would be a hit on each side, and the rest of the songs would be fillers. Most of the time the fillers were duds.

Sometimes my favorite group — like Peter, Paul, and Mary — would record a song from the drecky settlings of a songwriter who missed the boat, missed the bus, missed the velocipede.

Please don’t make me listen to “I Dig Rock and Roll Music.” My theory is that they thought their day had come and gone, that folk music’s day had come and gone, and that they wanted to look like they were still valid. Instead of singing a rock and roll song, they elected to be rock and roll sycophants.

That’s unforgivable. On top of that, they sing the word “dig.”

The song came out in 1968. “Dig” had come and gone years before. It made me sad. Unfortunately the damn thing was a hit. I freeze when I hear it,

and leap to change it.

One time I changed the station, and the second worse song ever was on.

Jefferson Airplane may have taken its name from a slang term for “a paper match splint that holds a marijuana joint that has been smoked too short to hold without burning the fingers.” One disc jockey said they were named after an airplane that was displayed in front of Jefferson High School.

Either way, it was a good name. Was. Then someone decided to befriend “Star Wars” and renamed the group “Starship.” That still irritates me.

Their first single was awful. Unfortunately it was a hit too. Elton John’s pal Bernie Taupin was involved. Please.

Please do not play “We Built This City (on Rock and Roll”). It was all wrong, arrogant, a presumption, badly timed, a once great band’s resignation to the slide back down the hill.

It reminded of Academy Awardwinning actor Ray Milland appearing in “The Man With Two Heads.” If it had been at the start of his career, OK. It wasn’t. The other head belonged to black football star Roosevelt Grier.

What was it like on the set? Was it non-stop laughing?

I’ll tell you what I can count on every

Duty to Warn for Mental Health Professionals: on its way to governor Today, mental health therapists and counselors who might hear specific threats of imminent physical violence against a person or persons have civil immunity when they warn law enforcement of those threats. This bill expands that to persons within entities or at specific locations, like a theater in Aurora or Arapahoe High School. So, with this bill, a client will not be able to sue the professional for warning law enforcement of the threat against people in that named location.

Household Medications Take-Back Program: Senate Finance In 2012, Colorado was listed No. 2 in the country in prescription drug misuse and overdoses and eighth highest in suicide deaths. Children’s Hospital has seen a significant increase in emergency visits of accidental ingestion of both drugs and marijuana.

As part of the solution, a take-back program of household medications could reduce accidental drug poisoning among children and intentional poisoning among youth and young adults by encouraging proper disposal and eliminating a surplus of substances in the home.

Today’s snow is tomorrow’s water Nothing beats a week of gray skies and stuffy suits in Washington like a sunny day in Colorado’s high country.

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to strap on some snowshoes for a short hike on Berthoud Pass with local water managers and staff from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. They were taking a manual reading of the state’s snowpack and checking the automatic SNOTEL measurement device. Undersecretary Robert Bonnie, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s top environmental and natural resource official, and the man who oversees NRCS, also came along.

These snowpack measurement systems, some that date back to the 1900s, are a critical part of the Snow Survey and Water Supply Forecasting program that Colorado water officials rely on to anticipate river flows in the spring when the snow melts and calculate how much water will run off into rivers and reservoirs. Our state’s farm-

ers and ranchers depend on these forecasts to decide how much and what type of crops to plant, while metropolitan leaders use the data to decide how best to meet their needs in the coming years and to prepare for potential flooding.

Beyond Colorado, these measurements are important for states downstream that depend on our watersheds. Colorado contains nine major watersheds, each with its own snowfall patterns and obligations to other states. While some of these water

sources may be at 100 percent, in other regions the levels may be less than half of the normal supply. Many of the state’s water rights agreements are predicated on the level of snowpack making the accuracy of these measurements particularly important.

Recently, however, funding for the Snow Survey and Water Supply Forecasting Program was threatened by budget cuts and sequestration.

Colorado communities from across the state shared their strong concerns that cutting funding to this program would damage the accuracy of the measurements and reduce the effectiveness of this vital planning tool. In response to these concerns, we joined forces with Colorado’s water community, Sen. Mark Udall, and Congressman Scott Tipton to urge the NRCS to reconsider the cuts. After working with local communities, water managers, and the NRCS, we secured funding for the program

for this winter. In addition, we secured funding in congress for the next fiscal year.

We are not out of the woods yet though.

While we provided much-needed breathing room in the short-term, we must continue to work to explore options to ensure the program’s long-term sustainability.

Water is one of our state’s most valuable resources. In the face of unending drought in southern Colorado, historic levels of flooding on the Front Range and significant population growth, the accuracy of these measurements is increasingly critical. Today’s snowpack is tomorrow’s water, and it is vital to our state’s future that we work together to ensure that our farmers, city leaders, and water managers have the tools they need to accurately forecast how much of this precious resource they’ll have each and every season.

Pilot killed in plane crash Small aircraft avoids businesses, homes before crashing into open field

By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia.com A small plane smoldered in an open field — surrounded by packed subdivisions, stores full of shoppers and roadways crawling with cars on a Saturday afternoon — after crashing and bursting into flames, leaving the pilot, James Peoples of Littleton, dead.

Crews were on the scene at about 3 p.m. March 29 after the plane, an experimental Sonerai II, nosedived into the grassy area behind the SuperTarget in Highlands Ranch, near C-470 and Lucent Boulevard. The crash site is about eight miles southwest of Centennial Airport and the plane went down under unknown circumstances, FAA spokesman Allen Kenitzer said in an email.

There was a small fire around the aircraft when it hit, Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy Chad Teller said.

“It came straight down and crashed and caught on fire. I don’t know if the pilot died on impact or in the fire,” Teller said.

The plane took a sharp turn and went

An investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board looks over the wreckage from a small plane crash in a field in Highlands Ranch on March 29. The pilot, James Peoples of Littleton, was killed. Photo by Chris Rotar straight down, said Highlands Ranch resident Landon Harmon, who saw the plane’s descent. First responders were there within a minute, he said.

“It was like a flying saucer, it was so weird,” Harmon said.

It looked like the 60-year-old pilot was

trying to land the aircraft and that the plane was on its belly in the field, Harmon said.

“I kind of had this idea that I was the only person in the world that saw this, because no one stopped,” he said. “My first idea was to run out there to help, but

there was a barbed wire fence in the way.

I saw other people run out to help, but there wasn’t much they could do.”

An employee at the H2O Car Wash, one of the closest buildings to the crash site, also said it appeared the plane was trying to land. Some employees went to help extinguish the fire from the crash, he said.

The pilot missed several shopping centers and subdivisions — something the employee, who did not want to be named, said was “pretty heroic.”

“That area is pretty populated, not just with business but it’s a big residential area,” Teller said. “I don’t know what his intent was, if he was trying to land or what, but we’re fortunate that he was able to land in that area. It was a bad situation, but it could have been much worse.”

The plane, from the Sonerai series of homebuilt aircrafts, was 18 feet 10 inches in length and 5 feet 5 inches in height, with an 18-foot-8-inch wingspan.

Deborah Smith, a spokeswoman for the Centennial Airport, said she could not confirm whether the pilot took off from the airport before the crash but said the aircraft did have contact with its tower around 2:32 p.m.

The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating, with the NTSB as the lead agency.

A media contact with the NTSB did not immediately return a request for comment.

DISH vows changes for nursing mothers ACLU complaint prompts compliance Staff report In response to a letter from the ACLU of Colorado, DISH Network has agreed to make several improvements to its accommodations for nursing mothers.

On March 12, the ACLU of Colorado sent a letter of complaint to DISH Network claiming multiple failures to accommodate nursing mothers at two of its Colorado locations.

At DISH corporate headquarters in Douglas County’s Meridian business center, employees reportedly had to pump breast milk in front of their co-workers and supervisors without privacy screens or curtains.

At its call center in Littleton, the lactation room reportedly was inside a bathroom stall, which is in direct violation of federal and state law.

On March 21, DISH sent the ACLU a response, promising new accommodations for nursing employees.

“DISH is to be commended for prompt-

ly committing to address the problems outlined in our letter and for taking significant strides to protect the rights of nursing mothers in the workplace,” said Rebecca Wallace, staff attorney for ACLU of Colorado, in a statement.

The company promised to provide multiple private places to accommodate several nursing mothers in the Meridian office, and to move the lactation room in the Littleton office out of the bathroom.

DISH representatives indicate they are “undertaking a company-wide assessment of the accommodations provided to nursing mothers,” and have identified a human-resources manager whose duty it is to ensure compliance with laws regarding nursing employees.

“By bringing the story of nursing employees at DISH to light and enforcing state and federal laws protecting nursing mothers in the workplace, the ACLU hopes to change the old-fashioned view held by some employers that a model employee is one that does not get pregnant, does not give birth, does not breastfeed and does not have child-care responsibilities,” said Wallace. “DISH’s steps in promptly resolving the complaints raised in our letter serves as a model to other employers.”

Another hotly contested category is always Best Steakhouse. And the winner is Elway’s Cherry Creek and Elway’s Downtown. Reader’s choice: Capital Grille.

Cher, Lady Gaga coming

It’s going to be a great summer of concerts!

Cher kicks off a hot summer of powerhouse female stars coming to Mile High City.

Continuing to show she can “turn back time,” Cher performs at the Pepsi Center on May 28.

Is this really her Farewell Tour? The Living Proof Tour in 2005 was originally billed as her farewell tour. More than 3.5 million fans attended that tour, which grossed $250 million. Tickets are on sale for the Dressed to Kill tour with opening act Cyndi Lauper. It may your last chance to see her live, or not?

Tickets are available at www.cher. tickets-center.com.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga comes to Denver on Aug. 6, also at the Pepsi Center, for artRAVE: the ARTPOP Ball Tour.

New staging was uniquely designed to bring the superstar closer to the fans.

Sights to see

Denver visitors can peruse art at center

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Denver’s iconic 40-foot-tall Blue Bear, titled “I See What You Mean,” now has more to look at as he peers into the Denver Convention Center.

Eight new works of art were recently placed in the center to enhance the experience of the many visitors who trek through its exhibit spaces and halls.

The artworks were paid for through a public-private partnership between the City and County of Denver and the convention center’s management company, SMG, which commissioned the project.

Total cost was $235,000.

The pieces mark the introduction of Denver’s newly announced cultural plan, “IMAGINE 2020,” and were selected through NINEdotARTS, a local cultural consultant, with representatives from

Denver Arts and Venues, Visit Denver, SMG and members of the Denver arts community.

The focus was on Denver artists and galleries. Half of the artists are younger than 35, although Denver veterans Roland Bernier and Phil Bender are also included.

For Bernier, it’s the largest installation in his 60-year career of creating art from words (“Wall of Words”). Choices range from traditional landscape through Bernier’s words and Bender’s license plates to Mindy Bray’s huge mural and Ian Fisher’s images of clouds and sky. (Museum of Outdoor Arts in Englewood recently exhibited his work.)

On the wall by the two-story escalator that carries one up to the exhibition halls is a 95-by-95-foot site-specific mural by Mindy Bray, titled “The Heavy is the Root of the Light.” It is based on photographs of the Platte River nearby at Confluence Park and speaks of the flow of pedestrians as well as that of the river. The title is a line from the Tao Te Ching.

Bray is a painter and installation artist based in Denver, who received her MFA from the University of Iowa in 2005. She has taught at the University of Denver and

Metropolitan State University and exhibited nationally.

Her artist statement reads: “All visual experience is filtered, as the brain categorizes and creates patterns in order to attempt an understanding of what is being experienced …. My works on paper and on the wall describe an intersection of the natural world and built environments ….”

Other new public art at the convention center: • “I Know You Know That I Know” by Sandra Fettingis.

• “Untitled (Ocular Series) by Mike McClung.

• “Wall of Words” by Roland Bernier.

• “Boulder Creek-Autumn 08 #1” by James Cook.

• “Atmosphere No. 27, 37 and 44” by Ian Fisher.

• “Untitled 88” by Derrick Velasquez.

• “License Plates” by Phil Bender.

These new works would meet the priority listed in “IMAGINE 2020” that states: “Increase visibility of local artistic and creative talent.” The document, as well as a summary of it, can be found online. We hope the metropolitan area arts community is aware of its aspirations.

I think periodic exposure to raw unfiltered nature gives us clarity and helps us sort out our issues … Nature can be harsh, but even when it causes traumatic events, it helps us evolve … telling this story together through dance, poetry and music is one of the best, most human

The performance is described as a Western journey that is a cross between Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” and a KOA Campground. Contemporary ballet draws on many sources, both new and traditional, to offer yet another way of telling stories to an audience. These are exceptional dancers.

‘Hungry Girl’ to share diet gospel in Ranch Author will appear at Tattered Cover

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com In 10 years, Lisa Lillein, who started with sending a food-related email to 75 friends, has built a multimillion-dollar business. She sends daily emails to 1.2 million subscribers every weekday, appears on the Food Network and Cooking Channel, and is currently on a crosscountry tour introducing her latest (11th) book, “The Hungry Girl Diet Book.”

She will appear at the Highlands Ranch Tattered Cover at 7:30 p.m. April 11 to talk about her recipes and share some low-calorie snacks, as well as a gift bag of goodies from several food brand partners.

Lillein’s focus is on super-sized servings that will satisfy the dieter while taking off pounds. Think large quantities of highbulk vegetables, with appealing seasonings, lean fish, poultry — or at times lean ground beef — and large servings of fruits.

There is a surprising list of fruit servings, on page 192, that are under 100 calories, for instance: 2¼ cups of chopped watermelon, 2 cups of halved strawberries, 1½ cups sliced nectarines, 1 cup grapes, etc. … A 100-calorie veggie chart follows, including 4 cups broccoli coleslaw (a favorite) or 3½ cups of asparagus …

Garland story is heartbreaker Bio-drama on stage at Arvada Center

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s Christmas, 1968. As ACT I begins, an indignant Judy Garland is complaining loudly to her manager/fiance, Mickey Deans. The elegant suite at London’s fanciest hotel isn’t big enough — and she needs a drink! And she still fantasizes that her “people” will unpack for her. Lights are up on “End of the Rainbow” by Peter Quiller, a regional premiere at the Arvada Center.

Judy Garland, who was performing in vaudeville with her actor/parents as a tod-

dler, was remembered for “The Wizard of Oz,” of course, but also, the Andy Hardy films with Mickey Rooney, “Meet Me in St. Louis,” “Strike Up the Band,” “Babes of Broadway,” “For Me and My Gal” … She had five husbands and three children, and left a legacy of beloved songs.

Garland (Tari Kelly), we soon learn, is short on money and Deans (Zachary Clark) is trying to keep her clear of the drink and drugs — part of her routine for years — so she can perform every night.

She has a six-week contract at London’s Talk of the Town, which could make a dent in a 10-year accumulation of debt, Deans tells her. Ideally, it could be a comeback after some difficult years.

Kelly has the Garland voice and singing style nailed and is convincing in her intense portrayal of a legendary star in tat-

IF YOU GO “End of the Rainbow” by Peter Quilter plays through April 13 at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada.

Performances: 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 1 p.m. Wednesdays; 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Recommended for mature audiences, due to adult language and content dealing with drug use, alcoholism and sexuality.

Tickets: 720-898-7200, arvadacenter.org.

ters — a woman who is utterly unable/unwilling to grasp her dire situation.

Her addictions had started when she was a teenage actress, given amphetamines for energy and weight control.

Subsequent managers/husbands kept her supplied with pills to charge her up — and others to help her sleep, with ample

amounts of booze also available. Kelly’s Judy is fragile, but can (usually) still belt out a song.

Her pianist/accompanist, Anthony, is played by Jonas Cohen, who lends a sympathetic counterpoint to Deans’ controlling manner.

Staging is especially effective as the back wall of the hotel suite fades and a bandstand comes into view. The stage becomes Talk of the Town, with a wide area for Garland’s performances, then fades back into a hotel suite almost magically.

(Arvada’s scenic designer Brian Mallgrave is in top form.) Shannon McKinney’s lighting skills contribute strongly.

Described as a bio-drama with music, “End of the Rainbow” offers a moving closure on a sad story — just don’t arrive expecting an upbeat musical production.

He has played with jazz and concert bands in northern Colorado and with the Colorado Youth Symphony and All State Band.

the drill.

“I have been to a number of disasters as a member of the Rapid Response Team through the Billy Graham organization,” she said. “I wanted to help out close to home. I was able to learn a lot of information I hope we will never need.”

Littleton resident John Stephens completed the CERT class in 2012 and volunteered as a victim. He was made up to look like he had been impaled by a large piece of wood.

“There were volunteer victims when I went to class so I wanted to help this year’s class with their drill,” he said For the drill, the “victims” went to their assigned locations inside and outside the rear building at Bradford Auto Body.

Then the CERT students were divided into teams. One team checked the area and reported back and then teams were sent out to bring in the victims.

Once everything was completed, the actions were evaluated and discussed at a lengthy debriefing, which wrapped up the day’s activities.

with him; they’ve both been there ever since.

“I was never able to find another job,” jokes Vail with a country gentleman’s charm that belies his sharp and scientific mind.

Johnson, known for a keen business sense, located his clinic in close proximity to Centennial Racetrack, which stood until 1983 in the area of Federal Boulevard and Belleview Avenue. Along with a steady stream of patients for the clinic, it attracted the rich and famous as well as the hired help who accompanied them.

“The racetrack was a great citizen of Littleton,” he said.

“I would submit that there was rowdiness in the gin joints along Santa Fe by the racetrack, but no more rowdiness than in The Tavern on Main Street.”

The partners eventually brought in Dr. Terry Swanson, and more recently doctors Kelly Tisher and Scott Toppin.

They employ 70 people to provide care for animals ranging from Littleton Museum’s critters on up to famous racing horses like Jet Deck, the 1963 World Champion Quarter Running Horse.

“When I came here, I took care of a lot of cows,” said Vail. “I don’t know how far you’d have to drive nowadays to see a cow, except for Littleton Museum.”

Although the partners considered moving farther south after the racetrack closed, Vail now anticipates it will stay put for years to come. They provide mobile services when they can, and the rolling estate accommodates them perfectly, he said.

Although it would seem natural, Vail won’t be riding a horse in the Aug. 16 Western Welcome Week Grand Parade. A broken pelvis a few years back nixed that plan, but that’s hardly the biggest challenge Vail has faced. As children, he and his sister both battled away polio with the help of their mother, a nurse. He went on to be a star swimmer in high school, and remains active.

“No more horseback riding and no more skiing, and frankly I don’t miss either of them,” he said. “I’m a lunatic trout fisherman.”

Vail has been active in the community for years with pursuits such as Littleton Rotary, Arapahoe Community College Foundation and the Rocky Mountain Stroke Center.

“I’m proud and happy to be a Littleton citizen and very committed to the community, he said. “I can’t imagine what I could have done in my life to be a happier man.

And I can’t quit. I love it too much.”

The city plans to use Nextdoor as one launching pad for a series of neighborhood gatherings that will culminate in what Barons is calling Neighborhood Congress, where representatives from the smaller groups will gather for a citywide roundtable. Participating neighborhoods will either need to be registered with Nextdoor or an active homowners association.

Girls team: League of their own Girls team features four seniors, a junior and a sophomore

By Jim Benton

jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com After learning about the six players selected to Colorado Community Media’s All South Metro Girls Basketball Team, one coach commented that she could win with this squad.

The six-player team was chosen by the CCM sports staff from among players in the south metro Denver area, and the chosen players would give any coach a variety of winning options.

Vista and Rock Canyon’s Lexy Thorderson.

But still, there is plenty of rebounding ability, and all six players are scoring threats.

The 6-foot Thorderson, a senior who will play next season for San Diego State, was a problem for opposing defenses to contain this year because she could score from long range and also do damage in the paint. She led the Continental League with a 17.8 scoring average and made 73 3-point

He was the Continental League’s Player of the Year after posting a double-double in every game this season despite being the main focus of every opposing team’s defense. Braxton averaged 17.9 points this season for the Falcons, a league-leading 13.8 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game.

Morgan, a 5-9 senior who will play at the University of Denver next season, was the offensive spark for the Falcons. She can score from outside and penetrate to create opportunities for both herself and teammates. She averaged 17.3 points to finish second behind Thorderson in the Continental scoring race.

He is a great jump shooter from any range.

Rounding out the team are Chase Foster of Valor Christian, Chaparral’s Jake Holtzmann, Ethan Brunhofer of Arapahoe and Rock Canyon’s Mitch Lombard.

Foster, a 6-5 senior who will play at the University of San Francisco, is a very athletic player who can do it all. He averaged 20.3 points for the Eagles and pulled down 5.1 rebounds.

Baker, at 5-10, was the Continental League’s leading rebounder, averaging 9.8 boards per game. The University of Wyoming-bound senior scored at a 14.9 clip.

For the second straight season, Eppard averaged a double-double for Cherry Creek. She is very good around the basket, scoring 15.6 points while pulling down 10.9 rebounds and she managed 3.5 assists per game. The 5-11 senior will attend Elmhurst College next year and play basketball.

Bradbury, a 5-10 junior, led Valor with a 17.1 scoring average and also pulled down 8.7 rebounds per game.

Pearson, who stands 5-8, was part of a talented class of sophomore players in the area. She connected on 66 3-point baskets and averaged 13.3 points and 2.4 steals per game.

Players eligible for the all-star team come from all schools in Douglas County, the Littleton Public Schools District and from Cherry Creek H i g h School.

He is an all-around performer who handled the ball, made passes and found time to score. He averaged 16 points and 4.4 rebounds.

Brunhofer, a 6-2 senior, will play football next season for Butler but was a standout on the basketball court for an undersized but scrappy Arapahoe squad. He did whatever was required for the Warriors. He can produce around the basket against bigger opponents and finished the season scoring 16.3 points and averaging 6.3 rebounds.

Lombard, a smooth player, who drives to the basket to make plays, is a 6-1 junior averaging 13.5 points and 5.3 assists.

Arapahoe rally comes up short Warriors fall to Mountain Vista in non-league soccer game

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mountain Vista raised its record to 5-0 despite a late challenge from Arapahoe as the Golden Eagles posted a 5-4 victory March 29 at a non-league girls soccer game at Shea Stadium.

“I didn’t worry we would lose the game when the score got close but I was disappointed that our team gave up four goals in the final 15 minutes,” Mountain Vista Coach Theresa Echtermeyer said after the game. “We were up 5-0 so maybe we got a little overconfident and I made a lot of substitutions. Arapahoe also more aggressively pushed the attack late in the second half and we got a little disorganized. But we will learn from this game as we move forward in the season.”

The Golden Eagles stood at 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the 5A Continental League heading into their April 1 matchup with Ponder-

osa. Following an April 3 game at Chaparral, Mountain Vista will face Rock Canyon (4-0, 2-0) in a key league tilt at 7 p.m. April 8 at Shea Stadium. The Golden Eagles then travel to Regis on April 10 and play Littleton April 15 at Littleton Public School Stadium.

On March 29, Mountain Vista appeared firmly in control for most of the game as Megan Massey and Katie Joella scored goals for the Golden Eagles to give their team a 2-0 lead at halftime.

The team continued to use speed and pinpoint lead passes to press the attack in the second half and went up 5-0 on goals by Mallory Pugh, Joella and Mia Bonifazi with 14:30 left in the game. Peyton Joseph and Pugh each had an assist and teammate Morgan McDougal dished off two assists to help their team’s scoring efforts.

Refusing to give in, the Arapahoe attack began clicking with just less than 10 minutes remaining on the clock. Maggie Sexton drilled an on-target shot into the upper left corner of the goal to start the scoring and Lauren Conley, Kai-Bin Ooi and Amenda Cadorette all scored goals to make the score 5-4 with 2:11 left in the game.

Although the Warriors continued to press the attack, the Mountain Vista defense stiffened and prevented the tying goal.

Parkinson’s surgery changing lives Area doctor among handful performing technique

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Centennial resident John Bauer describes the surgery that eased his Parkinson’s disease symptoms as a small miracle.

“I have an increase in energy and just feel overall better,” said the 66-year-old, diagnosed with the disease 10 years ago.

“Now I only take one Parkinson’s medication, and that’s 50 percent of what it was. I used to take three (medications).”

Bauer underwent a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation at Littleton Adventist Hospital.

Dr. David VanSickle, who also performs the procedure at Lone Tree’s Sky Ridge Medical Center, inserts electrodes into the brains of those suffering from Parkinson’s disease.

The electrical stimulation blocks abnormal nerve signals that cause many of Parkinson’s most troublesome symptoms.

“If not the most, it’s one of the most effective treatments,” VanSickle said. “Qual-

Working in groups of five to seven, participants review current spending and revenue priorities, suggest principles for the future, and then apply their principles by selecting

ity of life will improve 25 to 30 percent.”

About 60,000 people are diagnosed with the disease annually.

VanSickle is among a handful of doctors nationally who perform the procedure while patients are asleep. That not only reduces patients’ stress, it cuts down on the time required for surgery and allows VanSickle greater accuracy in placing the electrodes.

The surgical treatment is most effective for treating the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s, including tremors, rigidity and limited facial expression.

That final symptom “hurts their relationships with their family members,” VanSickle said, because loved ones are unable to read facial expressions.

“People do it for the tremor,” he said.

“But the number one result they like is the facial expressions. I hear people say, ‘Thank you for giving me my wife or husband back. This is the person I married.’”

After years of living with the disease, Bauer’s symptoms worsened significantly in 2013, prompting him to move forward with the surgery.

“The biggest thing I’ve noticed is when I’m driving,” he said. “Before, I was really

TAURUS (apr 20 to May 20) There are still some problems you might have to deal with before moving on to your next project. It’s a good idea to accept help from those who share your objectives.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Depending on a promise made becoming a promise kept could be more than a mite unwise at this time. It’s best to proceed on your own rather than wait for aid that might never arrive.

LEO (Jul 23 to aug 22) a recently revitalized relationship might not be quite what the Big Cat expected. But give yourself more time to deal with the changes. a little flexibility can go a long way. Good luck.

VIRGO (aug 23 to Sept 22) a major change could prompt more adjustments. Some of them might be difficult to deal with at first. But hang in there, and before you know it, you’ll be coasting to your next goal.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your sense of justice prompts you to speak out against an unfair situation, even if you seem to be the only one who feels that way. But you soon learn that many others agree with you.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Creating a fuss is not usually your style. But that doesn’t mean you should tolerate an ill-mannered attitude. Speak up for yourself, and you’ll earn the respect of others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You might have a few loose ends to tie up before you can stamp your project as complete. But once that’s done, you might want to celebrate with someone special in your life.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Disappointment darkens the Goat’s mood. But close friends rally to pull you through with words of encouragement. Use their confidence in you to rebuild your own self-esteem.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) an upcoming decision might be more difficult with inaccurate information. Best to recheck the data you have at hand right now to be sure it won’t mislead you later.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) an offer you previously turned down might no longer be available. But if you do some checking around, you could find something else that would suit you just fine.
