Mountain Range High School business teacher wins Colorado Teacher of the Year 2020

We started with 13 students, and now we have more than 400 students participating. One of the best things is, kids will come back and say “you changed my life.” This is the program that kept me excited about school or kept me in school.’

I have an amazing job because I get to pair business and teaching together.

The road to teaching I went to Arvada West and I’m grateful I got an excellent education in Jeffco. I was really fortunate to have what I had, and Arvada was a great place to live. We go back to visit all the time.

After I graduated, I went to CU Denver and got my degree in business. I started out not going into teaching and when I did begin teaching, I had to go through an alternative pathway; I was a full-time teacher and then I went to class Monday night, so it was really a trial by fire. Later on, I helped open our new school (Mountain Range) back in 2006.

Hilary Wimmer.

‘Business and teaching together’ This year, I’ve been teaching several classes — finance, intro to business, principals of manage-

ment; things we all wish we could have learned in high school. I became the DECA club (competitive business club) chapter sponsor.

COURTESY OF ADAMS 12 FIVE STAR SCHOOLS

Touring the country to learn about teaching I don’t know 100% what my year will look like. There’s different things that come up: In February, I have a national induction for all the teachers of the year across the US. Throughout the year, we’ll be going to the Google headquarters in Palo Alto, NASA Space Camp, there will be a chance to go on an educational tour in Switzerland and Germany, and they announced at the (awards) assembly, “by the way, your teacher

is going to the White House.” It’s so overwhelming, and I would encourage people to nominate teachers. It’s one of the best gifts you can give a teacher.

Priorities as Teacher of the Year Trying to get financial literacy for kids into all Colorado schools is my main priority. I really want schools to investigate ways to tie the working world into the classroom, because parents need to see how we’re preparing students for a career. I want to raise awareness around mental health, as my brother’s suicide last year really opened my eyes to the needs for mental health awareness. I’ve led our school’s Escape the Vape campaign. Some of my students have had to go to the ER because of vaping, and they’re vaping because of stress and anxiety. We really need to give students the daily skills to address those things. And, I want people who are not thinking about going into education to think about becoming teachers; it’s never too late to get into the career.

Compliant IDs required for travel in late 2020 Colorado has issued compliant licenses, idenification cards since 2012 STAFF REPORT

U.S. residents traveling in late 2020 will need to make sure they have a REAL ID starting Oct. 1. Identification cards and licenses that are com-

pliant will have a star in the corner.

Colorado has issued compliant identification cards and licenses since 2012. Residents who do not have a REAL ID — identifiable by a star in the corner of the card — are urged to not wait until the last minute to get a REAL ID. To become REAL ID compliant, residents must go through the Department of Motor Vehicle’s normal issuance process. Visit www.colorado.gov/dmv for information on licensing and identification requirements.

Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act established national standards for state-issued driver licenses and identification cards. In accordance with the act, the DMV must verify an applicant’s full legal name, identity, date of birth and lawful presence in the United States when issuing a Colorado driver license or state identification card.

Starting Oct. 1, residents must have a REAL ID, or another acceptable form of identification, to access federal facilities and board commercial aircraft.

CORRECTION An article in the Jan. 16 edition about Jefferson County Public Schools special education aides incorrectly described district hiring proceedure. School administrators may adjust special education aide staff levels at any time, but district policy only requires staff adjustment twice a year.

In a Dec. 26 edition story about the impeachment of President Trump, a story incorrectly listed one of the articles of impeachment. The two articles of impeachment passed by the US House of Representatives are for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Lakewood police arrest man accused of arson Jacob Joseph Medina is being held at the Denver County Detention Center

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The West Metro SWAT Team has arrested a man accused of starting a fire in an apartment complex.

On Jan. 15 the team, made up of

Lakewood and Wheat Ridge police officers, was called to an apartment complex at the 1700 block of Kendall Street on reports of a wanted man in the complex, according to a Medina release. The man, who was wanted on felony warrants in Denver, was identified as 35-year-old Jacob Joseph Medina of Denver.

When Medina realized police

were at the apartment complex, he allegedly broke through the walls of several apartments in the building, the release reads. The apartment complex was then evacuated, and Medina barricaded himself in an apartment. Police say he started a fire in the apartment complex during that time.

West Metro SWAT Team negotiators talked with Medina, and he eventually came out of the building and was arrested. He is currently being held at the Denver County

Detention Center on suspicion of first-degree arson, three counts of second-degree burglary, criminal mischief, first degree introduction of contraband, possession of a scheduled two controlled substance, possession of burglary tools, possession of a weapon of a previous offender and failure to leave premises.

The Denver Post reported that Medina has a criminal record, including robbery, drug possession and failure to leave a premises.

Buyers Beware: You May Be on Candid Camera When Looking at a Home

The use of WiFi-connected cameras such as the Ring doorbell is becoming more and more common. Rita and I have both a Ring doorbell and four other cameras protecting the entrances to our home plus the garage, and the Golden Real Estate office has a total of 10 cameras covering the interior, exterior and our parking lot. Such systems are increasingly affordable and easy to set up, since they require no wiring and can be monitored on any smartphone. Their video (with sound) is motion-activated and uploaded to “the cloud” so that you can go back in time to see past activity. You can also be alerted real-time on your smartphone when motion is detected by any of the cameras.

With the widespread adoption of such internet-connected home cameras, it is becoming more and more possible for sellers to eavesdrop on buyers who tour their home. You can understand the value to a seller of hearing what you say as you look around. Imagine, for example, if you were caught on video saying to your agent, “I love this house! I’ll pay whatever I have to for it!” You wouldn’t want the seller to hear that, would you?

There are, of course, legal implications to such surveillance. On the one hand, sellers have the right to install such equipment for home security, but buyers and their agents also have a “reasonable expectation of privacy” while touring your unoccupied home.

While Colorado law allows you to record your conversations with another person secretly, that is only because you are a party to the conversation. Taping a conversation to which you are not a party is a serious matter for which you could experience both civil and criminal liability.

Every year, licensed real estate brokers are required to take a 4-hour real estate update class as an element of their continuing education requirement. This year’s class, which all Golden Real Estate agents take in January instead of later in the year, devotes 10 to 15 minutes to this topic of audio and video surveillance by sellers.

In that update class, we were instructed to advise our buyer clients that they might be under surveillance while touring a home and should be careful what they say. We were also instructed to have a conversation with sellers about this topic, advising them of the legal dangers of recording buyers. It was suggested that, if our sellers do have such equipment, we urge them to post a notice next to the doorbell or prominently inside the house to the effect that “audio and video surveillance is in use” in the house. We should also put that in the MLS listing, to protect ourselves as listing agents.

It is understandable for sellers to be concerned about strangers being escorted through their home by brokers who they do not know. When this issue is raised by a

Is Your Gas Furnace or Gas Water Heater About to Fail? Consider a Heat Pump A reader called me this week because her gas furnace had quit working and, knowing my expertise on sustainability, wanted advice on replacing it.

I told her that this was an opportunity to do something other than buy a new gas furnace. I told her about my Carrier “Hybrid Heat” furnace which uses an air-source heat pump for heating as well as cooling and only burns gas when the outdoor temperature dips well below freezing. With her solar panels, it’s possible she won’t even pay for the electricity consumed by the heat pump, and her gas consumption will plummet.

That hybrid system uses her existing ductwork, but, since she has a one-story home, I suggested she consider a ductless mini-split heat pump system like the one

we have at our office. I gave her the name of the vendor who installed both my home and office systems who could advise her which system was best for her.

I also suggested that she look into replacing her gas water heater with a heat-pump model when it fails. My gas water heater is over 15 years old, so I’m thinking of replacing it before it fails. Home Depot sells a Rheem 50-gallon heat pump water heater (XE50T10HD50U1) for $1,299, but Xcel Energy gives its customers a $500 rebate for purchasing it. I have enough solar panels to handle the extra electrical demand and eliminate much of my current gas usage, which is mostly for water heating, since I have that Carrier hybrid furnace. Our only other gas usage is for cooking and grilling.

seller during a listing presentation, I let them know that no buyer will be touring their home without a licensed broker, and that all licensed brokers undergo a criminal background check and are fingerprinted in order to be licensed. Brokers would be risking their license and their livelihood to allow themselves or their buyers to commit a crime in your home. Moreover, the showing service is diligent about not providing the lockbox combination to anyone who is not a licensed broker.

Your broker can also install an electronic lockbox which provides even greater accountability as to when each broker enters and leaves your home.

I have been a practicing real estate broker in Colorado for nearly two decades now, showing hundreds of listings per year to prospective buyers and holding scores of open houses for my listings. I have yet to be made aware of any loss sustained by a seller or any misdeeds by my buyers.

Our low crime rate here in Colorado is reflected in our lowest-in-the-nation premiums for errors and omissions insurance. In Colorado the cost of such insurance is $200-400 per year, depending on the coverage limits.

In some states, like California, I’ve heard that brokers can pay that much per month for E&O coverage.

Celebrating MLK Jr With His Words We’re all familiar with Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, but this Monday, CBS This Morning (my favorite morning TV habit) featured the audio of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “American Dream” speech given on Feb. 5, 1964, at Drew University, interleaving the recording of his words with two of his children and one grandchild reading his words. It was very inspiring.

Plant-Based Meat Has Won Us Over

First, Rita and I tried the “Impossible Whopper” at Burger King, and we liked it — can’t tell it from the regular Whopper. Then Rita found the package at right at Costco — eight 1/4-lb. patties for $14.99. She cooked them in a pan and seasoned them as she would regular burgers, topped with pepperjack cheese and sautéed mushrooms, and served the patties on a bed of romaine lettuce and sliced tomatoes with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Delicious! Try it!

Author shares some of his findings about the Lakewood restaurant

I

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

t’s easy to get lost in awe by the cliff diving, waterfall, live performances and Mexican food that is all packaged inside Casa Bonita — and Don Whitcomb wants the world to know about the Lakewood restaurant.

“When you walk in, you’re flabbergasted. It’s that fantastic of a place,” said Whitcomb who managed Casa Bonita’s serving line from 1982 to 1984. “It really is the kind of thing that you can go to many, many times. You’ll learn more and see more each time you go through.”

Whitcomb’s book “The Casa Bonita You Never Knew” details the history, architecture and more that makes the restaurant so iconic. He shared some facts and his secret Casa Bonita sopapilla recipe at the History Happy Hour event at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park on Jan. 14.

Here are some highlights from Whitcomb’s discussion about Casa Bonita.

January 23, 2020J

HOW TO BUY ”THE CASA BONITA YOU NEVER KNEW”

“The Casa Bonita You Never Knew” book, authored by Don Whitcomb, is $19.95 and can be purchased by emailing brotherbobsbooks@gmail. com. It details the history, architecture and more that makes the Lakewood restaurant a landmark.

Top secret DIY dish Casa Bonita’s menu options are as is, but if you keep your plate long enough for the restaurant’s sopapillas to come out, you can try Whitcomb’s favorite combo.

Rip off a corner of the sopapilla, and then you pour in cheese, taco meat and lettuce. Whitcomb describes the dish as a stuffed taco. He got the idea from one of his former bosses when he was working at the restaurant.

“He said if I ever see you making one, I’m going to fire you right on the spot,” Whitcomb said.

CASA BONITA FROM PAGE 4

Casa Bonita almost didn’t exist Bill Waugh opened the Lakewood Casa Bonita location in 1974 — but it almost didn’t exist.

Waugh had borrowed a good amount of money from a bank to build the restaurant, but he went through it all before construction was done. He had leveraged two Casa Bonita locations in Oklahoma, Taco Buenos he owned and his home to build the Lakewood Casa Bonita, Whitcomb says.

The bank told Waugh he had to turn some profit for the unfin-

ished restaurant, or it would take what he had leveraged, leading to Waugh and his partners coming up with the idea to open the top half of the restaurant. The bottom of it remained unfinished.

After six months of business, Waugh had enough money to finish the downstairs portion of the restaurant and to pay the bank back.

“We’re kind of fortunate to have Casa Bonita today because of Bill and his guys coming up with that idea,” said Whitcomb.

Casa Bonita can seat more than 1,000 people in it’s various levels. The restaurant was first opened in 1974, and has become an icon for west metro residents.

Faces in the rocks Next time you’re at Casa Bonita, be sure to look closely at the cliff inside the restaurant.

You’ll find faces in the rocks.

“Once you see it, it’s very pronounced.

(The faces) just follow you everywhere you go, it’s crazy,” said Whitcomb.

Don Whitcomb, who managed Casa Bonita’s serving line from 1982 to 1984, shares facts about Casa Bonita at the History Happy Hour event at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park on Jan. 14. Whitcomb wrote the book “The Casa Bonita You Never Knew.”

JOSEPH RIOS Artifacts from Mexican mines Inside Casa Bonita, you’ll find pieces of Mexico inside the restaurant’s gold and silver mines.

The mines contain artifacts from a Mexican mine, including ore carts, pillars and rails.

“It was all picked out at a mine.

That’s one of the reasons you get authenticity,” said Whitcomb.

Aside from mining artifacts, the gold mine contains actual gold dust on the wall.

Hidden names in the cavern One of the secrets hidden inside Casa Bonita can be found when you walk through the restaurant’s cavern. If you look in the middle of the runoff in the cavern, you’ll find the names of every designer of the restaurant.

“There’s some fascinating things that people don’t know. I would love to interview everyone that ever worked (at Casa Bonita),” said Whitcomb.

‘Seeing who we’re playing for’ Dakota Ridge, Columbine students visit patients before Think Pink game

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For patients visiting the infusion center at Wheat Ridge’s Lutheran Medical Center, an appointment can mean sitting in the same room for four hours, six hours or even all day, said Janette O’Brien with the cancer services department. The center administers treatment to patients with a range of diagnoses, including cancer, osteoporosis and autoimmune diseases.

To help make the hours go by more quickly, student basketball players from Dakota Ridge and Columbine high schools stopped by the center Jan. 15, with so many in attendance they entered the center in shifts so as not to overcrowd the room.

The visit served as a lead-up to the Think Pink game between the two schools, which took place at the end of the week. Every year, the game raises money for the Lutheran Medical Center Foundation to serve patients, including those visited on the 15th.

With the game on the horizon, the rival high school students joined forces to brighten patients’ days with gifts, snacks and conversation.

Dakota Ridge junior Alexis Thornton delivers a gift to patient Eduardo Miera on behalf of the two teams. “I always want to talk to young people. Young people are our future,” Miera said.

The Jan. 15 trip was just one of many Dakota Ridge and Columbine students have made over the years — the schools aim to visit at least once a year, with students from a multitude of other district schools also making visits each year, O’Brien said.

“Once the kids come, they always want to come back,” she said. “We love having them here, and you can see how much they leave changed.”

To patient Eduardo Miera, the students’ visit was an opportunity to tell stories about the decades he spent working for Lockheed Martin and advise the students to always persevere: “`Can’t’ never did anything,” he told them.

“I always want to talk to young

people. Young people are our future,” he said.

Arvada resident Jeannene Fullen, who was at the center for testing, told the students stories from the time she worked as a substitute teacher at nearby elementary and middle schools.

The students’ visit was a benefit to everyone involved, she said, not only because it taught the students interpersonal skills but also because “it’s wonderful” for patients to have visitors.

Marie Kidd, another Arvada resident, agreed. She thanked the students and basketball coaches for the snacks

they brought — inside a bag decorated with the words “DONUT Give Up” — and spent the visit asking questions of the visitors.

“It’s so kind of them to visit, and it’s very needed,” she said.

For Dakota Ridge basketball players Taylor Legault, Michaela Mossbrucker, Alexis Thornton and Emily Doolittle, the visit allowed them “to see another side of the community and be a part of something bigger,” Legault said.

“It gives the game more meaning,” Mossbrucker agreed. “We’re seeing who we’re playing for.”

Before facing off in a basketball game, student athletes from Dakota Ridge High School and Columbine High School worked together to visit patients at the infusion center at Wheat Ridge’s Lutheran Medical Center, 8300 W. 38th Ave.

Former Everitt student says she was groped dozens of times Jeffco Schools accused of ignoring evidence

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A parent of a former Everitt Middle School student has filed a complaint against Jeffco Public Schools, alleging the district ignored evidence that the student had been sexually assaulted by her classmates on school grounds.

The school responded last week with a letter to Everitt parents, saying that “most of the allegations, if not all of them, have no merit.”

According to the complaint filed in Nov. 2019, the student informed administrators in May of 2017 that she had been groped by two male classmates multiple times that year.

The complaint says the school administration then interviewed the two accused students and obtained “confessions by each,” with one student stating his actions were nonconsensual. The complaint accuses administrators of failing to act on the information.

The student’s mother, on behalf of the student — both anonymous in the complaint — has requested damages from the district, Superintendent Jason Glass, former principal Jeff Gomez and William “Tim” Carlin, the school’s former assistant principal.

The complaint alleges that the stu-

dent, now 16 years old, was regularly harassed by multiple male classmates as a seventh-grader at Everitt in 2016 and 2017.

According to the complaint, when the female student first enrolled, older students told her and her classmates that every week “on Tuesdays, boys would touch girls’ breasts in the hallways…(and) on Fridays, boys would touch girls’ buttocks in the hallways.”

The complaint goes on to allege that students viewed the occurrences as tradition and commonly referred to them using profane nicknames.

The “culture of sexual harassment and assault dates back to at least 2010,” the complaint claims.

The allegation is that during the 2016-2017 academic year, the female student was harassed and assaulted by two particular male students more than 60 times. On multiple occasions, the male students are accused of having held her against a wall or locker, slipped their hands underneath her clothing and groped her, “laughing and continuing when she said no and cried.”

The female student’s mother says she learned about the incidents in May 2017. The complaint states that the student had not mentioned the incidents before then because she “believed that this was normal or that another complaint would do no more good than past complaints.”

According to the complaint, the student’s mother contacted the Wheat

Ridge Police Department (WRPD) and met with the assistant principal, Carlin, the next day. During the meeting, Carlin asked the student to fill out an incident report.

The mother’s complaint states that Carlin put together an investigative report, later given to the WRPD, showed that he had taken statements from both male students “with confessions by each, including one confession stating that their conduct was nonconsensual.” It accuses Carlin of failing to inform the police at the time he collected the statements in May 2017, and instead only providing his report to officers in the fall of 2017 after the department requested it.

The female student was taken out of classes in May 2017 to avoid conflict with the two boys, who were in the classes with her. But at the start of the 2017-2018 school year, Everitt administrators allegedly placed the girl in classes with the same male students, according to the complaint, which goes on to say that administrators chose to not transfer the boys out of the classes, but had the female student transferred to “lower performing classes” instead.

The two male students were removed from the school when a restraining order was issued against them at the female student and her mother’s request, according to the mother’s complaint.

The male students “subsequently (pleaded) guilty to crimes for their sexual assaults,” following the eventual filing of charges by the Wheat Ridge police.

The WRPD could not confirm its role in the case, and does not have any files related to this case, said communications manager Sara Spaulding.

When juvenile cases are sealed, documents are not releasable, and records may be expunged in some instances, meaning they do not exist from a legal standpoint, she said.

According to the complaint, the female student later left the district because of bullying from students who had heard about the incident.

Carlin was hired as principal at another district school, Wheat Ridge’s Peak Expeditionary School, in 2018.

Gomez retired from his position in 2019.

Gomez could not be reached for comment.

Carlin and the current principal at Everitt Middle School, JoAnn Euler, could not comment because they are not authorized to speak on the district’s behalf in legal matters, said media relations director Cameron Bell.

Euler sent a letter to Everitt families on Jan. 13 to address the media attention the case has received.

“The (district) team reviewed the factual allegations with the individuals closest to the matter and have determined most of the allegations, if not all of them, have no merit,” the letter said in part. “Outside counsel will be formally responding to the complaint with Jeffco School District’s denials. Everitt staff are committed to providing a safe learning environment where all students are treated with dignity and respect.”

Jeffco Public Schools chief legal counsel Craig Hess was not available for comment before Colorado Community Media’s deadline.

Section JBB of district policy requires district employees to report to the principal if they “witness or believe that a student has been subjected to sexual harassment.” The principal or a designee must then conduct an investigation and resolve the matter.

One option is an informal resolution, which in this case, would have been a meeting between administration, the female student and the two male students.

The lawsuit complaint did not indicate whether such a meeting ever took place.

If a student does not agree to an informal resolution, the principal must encourage the student to fill out a formal complaint. The principal must then complete an investigation within 20 school days, the policy states.

The policy requires that the principal or designee ensures harassment does not continue and the student who filled out the complaint is safe.

“Jeffco Public Schools is committed to providing a working and learning environment that is free from sexual harassment,” reads the district’s sexual harassment reporting notice.

“Sexual harassment will not be tolerated.”

Yeti Cycles to remain at Golden’s Corporate Center, expand HQ Company backs off plan to build headquarters near Highway 93

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The headquarters for the Goldenbased high-end mountain bike manufacturer Yeti Cycles will be staying put in southeast Golden, after all.

Yeti Cycles, which operates out of the Corporate Center at Sixth and Colfax Avenues, had announced plans in 2018 to partner with a Fort Collinsbased developer to construct a new 40-acre development that would house its headquarters and other companies focusing on outdoor recreation. That development was to be located on the west side of Highway 93 five minutes north of downtown Golden.

Those plans were cancelled after Yeti and the developer’s application to rezone the land to allow for the development was denied by the county. But the cancellation turned out to be for the best, Yeti’s Chief Financial Officer Bill Mueller said, as Yeti’s landlord extended them the opportunity to lease an additional 28,560-square-foot space in the Corporate Center that will provide ample space to accommodate Yeti’s further growth.

“When we were running into some challenges with the other location we

Mountain bikes on display in Yeti Cycles’ showroom in Golden at 621 Corporate Drive.

The showroom space will be expanded as Yeti nearly doubles the space of its Golden facility following the purchase of a second building in the Corporate Center. PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO kind of engaged with our landlord, St. John Properties, which owns the whole Corporate Center and our needs were large enough we were able to work with us to make that space become available all together,” Mueller said.

Yeti has signed a 10-year lease for the space, which is located at 611 Corporate Circle and neighbors Yeti’s current space at 621 Corporate Circle.

Mueller said the company plans to locate offices housing Yeti’s sales, administrative, marketing and engi-

neering staff in the new space. That will allow Yeti to devote 621 Corporate Place to facilities for bike assembly and distribution and expand its bike show room.

In addition to giving Yeti more space to meet growing consumer demand (all of the company’s bikes are are assembled at the Corporate Center), Mueller said the new lease will provide Yeti the opportunity to redesign and renovate the interior of the spaces to best suit its needs.

“It’s like a 28,000-square-foot clean

slate and we will be able to build the thing from scratch from a shell,” said Mueller.

But Mueller says Yeti’s staff is also happy to be remaining at Corporate Place for another reason.

“The mountain bike trail access is actually better over here than it would have been at the spot we were looking at so that is beneficial,” he said.

That’s important because Yeti closes every day from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. so that its employees can mountain bike on the trails around Golden.

Yeti currently has around 60 employees, which is up from around 25 five years ago. However, Mueller said that number will likely increase to 70 by 2021, which is when Mueller expects the new space to be ready for Yeti staff to move into it.

Brandon Jenkins, a Regional Partner for St. John Properties Colorado, said the new lease agreement with Yeti represents a win for both organizations.

“Consolidating into one centralized corporate campus will increase the overall efficiency of Yeti, especially the logistics and shipping divisions of the company, as 611 and 621 Corporate Center share a truck court,” explained Brandon Jenkins of St. John Properties. “The decision by Yeti Cycles to retain their presence within Corporate Center demonstrates the attractiveness of the business environment and its strategic placement near amenities and major highways.”

Maybe syllables governed the world in the 17th cenQUIET tury, but lately they have been treated DESPERATION with impudence and disrespect in the name of convenience.

There are those who think as Selden did and quite a few of them are within the sound of my voice: namely the “Quiet Desperation” readers Craig Marshall who entered my annual haiku contest.

Smith This column highlights some of the best entries.

While I encouraged a wide range of themes, the majority of the haiku I

received focused on the new year, and it was understandable. Last year was not Miss America, particularly in the final weeks during the impeachment hearings.

Then, guess what? The new year starts off with a bang, as it were, in Iran and international tension is on high alert.

Seventeen-syllable poems might seem like butterflies in a tornado right now, but I think they are reminders of the sustenance in human creativity.

Please welcome Becky Bland and her family.

She wrote: “Des Moines, Iowa / Castle Rock, Colorado / We found a new home.”

Look at little “Iowa.” It uses up three syllables all by itself.

What are the longest one-syllable words? “Stretched,” “scrounged,” and “scratched.”

Leslie Stevens, Highlands Ranch, said her haiku was written for a ladies’ hiking group called the “Walkie-Talkies.”

“We walk and we talk / Challenged by the rocky trail / Exhausted, refreshed.”

Art Elser, Denver: “on our morning walk / a lone solitaire proclaimed / the winter solstice.”

Fran Fisher, Parker: “Marmalade cat friend / Golden age gilded by sun / His late afternoon.”

Andy Schramm, Evergreen, has a sense of humor: “Today’s top story / Violent alpine overthrow / A very high coup.”

Michael Collier, Lafayette, California: “Risky investments / The dog was chasing its tail / Calm 2020.”

In case you are wondering: “The usual way to refer to years is to pronounce the first two digits together as one

number, and the second two together as another number (pearsonlongman. com)”; therefore, 2020 (twenty-twenty) equals four syllables.

Andrea Corbo, Highlands Ranch: “This lame haiku is / My quiet desperation / Written just for you.”

The words “quiet desperation” are attributed to Henry David Thoreau and they were appropriated by Pink Floyd.

Sharene Schmalz, Cincinnati: “Ravage destruction / Oh, when will it ever end? / Let it be this year.”

Looks like we may have to wait, Sharene.

W LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Why be spiteful?

I was quite surprised a couple of weeks ago to read the hateful letter about President Trump. While it is true that he may indeed be a narcissist, this should in no way impair his spelling of the word. Despite what people may think of the man as person, he has been very good for the country as a president. Can’t opinions be made without being hateful or spiteful?

Companies, teams, players, and artists who are dominating through disruption also do something else better than their competitors. While looking for breakthrough moments and ideas, they still focus on the fundamentals, the blocking and tackling if you will.

As a physician I saw medical costs and red tape skyrocket due to the policies of the last administration. Health insurance became unaffordable for many, while it was given away to others, increasing state and federal costs.

As far as I can see the new administration is making capitalism work as it should, benefiting those willing to do their part. It is not perfect, yet aren’t a better economy and living conditions a positive?

ing. The kind of disruptive thinking that could lead to domination and success.

And what do I mean by domination?

Domination is not just for big companies, professional teams, or individual performers. Domination could be for every size company and for each one of us too. Dominating a local market by being a bit disruptive. Breaking a bad habit, through a disruptive and new or better habit. Dominating other poor practices that we follow and want to change by stretching the boundaries of our thinking. We all have the capacity to make new decisions based on new information, and maybe our input

needs a dose of disruptive thinking.

“The fastest way to success is by replacing one bad habit with one good habit” - Tom Ziglar With a focus on the fundamentals and a willingness to be a little disruptive, we can leverage our core strengths and begin developing new attitudes, behaviors, and techniques in all areas of life. Breaking through our comfort zone and status quo doesn’t necessarily mean we abandon our belief system, it means we look for new ways to live, work, play, compete and succeed in whatever it is we choose to do in work, life, and play.

How about you? Could you benefit

from a little disruptive thinking as we continue to kick off the new year?

Is there something that is calling for you to raise the bar higher, something yet to conquer, or something you need to dominate or defeat? I would love to hear all about it at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can build a little healthy disruption into our lives, it really will be a better than good week, maybe even a dominatingly good week.

Welcome the Year of the Rat in metro area

“When people say libraries are obsolete, we say, ‘Are they? Let’s find out,’ ” said Anthony White, the manager of web systems for Arapahoe Libraries, which operates eight branches in Arapahoe County.

The district now features three recording studios outfitted with green screen walls and video and audio editing software. The Koelbel branch has a 39-seat theater available for plays, films and performances. The Castlewood branch will reopen in April with a purpose-built makerspace, featuring 3D printers, laser cutters, a ceramic kiln and more — double the size of the old makerspace, housed in a repurposed conference room.

“We really want to explore all the roles a library can play in a community,” White said. “The sky’s the limit.”

For some, that can mean learning skills that are otherwise out of reach.

Emily Roberts, a university librarian herself, wanted to try working with wool. She bought $15 worth of raw wool online, then headed to Castlewood Library to process it on a drum carding machine.

“I could invest $15 to learn something new,” Roberts said. “What I couldn’t do was invest $300 in classes and studio time. The library staff walked me through it — there’s only so much you can learn from a book.”

For others, it can mean a welcome reprieve when life throws them a curveball.

Anthony Montoya, a tax attorney in Castle Rock, found himself jobless when his law firm laid off his division.

ccording to the calendar of the Lunar New Year, 2020 is the Year of the Rat - the first sign of the zodiac. And there are plenty of options hosted by Denver’s thriving Asian-American community to help ring in the new year.

“This year will be our 17th annual Lunar New Year event, which is our major fundraiser of year,” said Tarika Cefkin, executive director of the Nathan Yip Foundation. “The event is a great opportunity for us to share Chinese culCOMING ture and raise funds ATTRACTIONS for the work we do with rural schools in Colorado.”

The Nathan Yip Foundation’s The Year of the Rat party will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8 at the Grand Hyatt, 1750 Welton St. And Clarke Reader while it’s one of the largest Lunar New Year parties, it is far from the only option. Others include: 2020 Colorado Chinese New Year Celebration at The Potter’s House Church of Denver, 9495 E. Florida Ave. in Denver. The event is from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 25, and includes several free options, like a cultural fair, taste of China and marketplace.

2020 Chinese New Year Cultural Fair at the Southridge Recreation Center, 4800 McArthur Ranch Road in Highlands Ranch. The free fair is from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 25, and there’s also a special paid performance by the Great Wall Chinese Academy from 2 to 3 p.m., with dragon and lion dances, martial arts and music.

Lunar New Year Celebration at Sharetea Westminster, 5684 W. 88th Ave. The celebration is from 1 to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 1, featuring performances by Nguyen Thieu Lion Dance, which include a lion dance, drum show and more.

After 17 years, Cefkin said the Nathan Yip Foundation’s event has taken on the feel of a family affair, with foundation founders Jimmy and Linda Yip greeting guests as they arrive.

t all started with a state parks pass.

Areli Alcazar, a teacher at Kenton Elementary School in Aurora, stopped by the Schlessman branch of Denver Public Library a couple years ago, where a librarian told her DPL checks out passes to Colorado State Parks.

Before long, Alcazar and her family were hitting the trails in Roxborough and Chatfield state parks for the first time, toting a library-provided knapsack filled with binoculars, field guides and other gear.

“The pass gave us an incentive to be adventurous,” Alcazar said.

When she dropped off the pass at the library, she asked what else the library had to offer. The answers are still unfolding, and Alcazar is hooked.

An avid biker, Alcazar uses the library’s bike repair kits. Her desk is scattered with keepsakes and doohickeys she’s 3D-printed at Denver library makerspaces. She learned to sew LED lights into clothing. She helped her mom test the efficiency of her home appliances with a power check meter. She and her friends check out passes to local museums.

Now, when she’s bored, Alcazar said she drops into a library and asks what they can teach her today.

“If it’s all at our disposal,” Alcazar said, “why not try it out?”

CHECKING OUT Colorado residents can get library cards for most of the state’s library districts for free. Most require a photo ID and proof of address.

The vast majority of library services, including state parks passes, museum passes, access to makerspaces and nontraditional items, are available for no charge. Some libraries may impose time or quantity limits on items like 3D printers that use consumable materials.

Numerous local library districts offer a wide array of services, including personalized book and movie recommendations, access to research databases, streaming movies and documentaries, classes, clubs and connections to other community services.

Many local library districts are now fine-free, meaning they only impose fees for lost or damaged materials. Fine-free library districts include Jefferson County Libraries, Arapahoe Libraries and Denver Public Library.

At a nearby sewing machine, Markie Arendelle sat at a sewing machine, repairing a rip in his winter coat.

“This place is empowering,” said Arendelle, a singer and DJ. “I’m selfemployed, and here I can print my stickers and iron-on patches — it saves me so much money.”

Libraries can also give people a chance to try out tech and toys they might not otherwise have access to, said Andrea Wyant, a collection development librarian for Douglas County Libraries.

Wyant heads the district’s “nontraditional items” collection, where patrons can check out items ranging from high-end digital cameras, virtual reality headsets and karaoke machines to digital projectors and retro

video game consoles.

“We can give people access to things they can use and return without cluttering up their houses or unnecessarily duplicating things,” Wyant said.

“Sharing is caring. How much stuff do we all need in our lives?”

Looking to the future A wide range of new offerings doesn’t mean libraries are skimping on the reading material, said Donna Walker, the executive director of Jefferson County Libraries. In fact, she said, they’re exploring new ways to deliver that, too.

Jeffco’s libraries are expanding their e-book offerings, and for those who prefer the printed page, they’re rolling out Redbox-like book vending machines and Amazon-style lockers. Patrons can also schedule home or office visits from librarians who

specialize in fields like academics or business.

Meanwhile, Jeffco is in the process of remodeling all 10 of its branches, including, yes, more makerspaces.

“We want to stay a step ahead of the community,” Walker said. “A decade ago, people said: ‘Who goes to the library anymore?’ Now, we’re hearing from people who have cards to five different local library systems.”

Walker said in a time of expansion, it’s important that libraries endear themselves to the community. While the economy is hot now, they’ve got to prepare in case things get tight.

“During the recession, libraries faced a lot of hardships,” Walker said.

“Hours were cut. Positions were cut.

Our job is to manage our growth and our finances, and build relationships.

Libraries are an essential service.

They’re part of the bedrock of democracy.”

The big picture, Walker said, is that libraries are expanding beyond the buildings they’re housed in.

“We talk about the library being everywhere,” Walker said. “Libraries can be in your pocket. We can come to you.”

While libraries don’t charge users for services, Walker said, everyone chips in.

“People are paying for this through their taxes,” Walker said. “You might as well use what you’re paying for.”

“I was on my own all of a sudden, and everybody said I needed a commercial,” Montoya said. “Studios wanted to charge a lot of money, but the library in Parker had a green room, cameras and editing software.”

A Douglas County librarian gave Montoya and his wife a crash course in the equipment, and over a couple visits, he produced his own commercial.

“Another attorney told me recently they really liked my commercial, and asked who I hired to make it,” Montoya said. “I was pretty tickled by that.”

‘A beautiful thing’ New library offerings can be a powerful force for self-sufficiency, said Ashley Kazyaka, the program coordinator for Denver Public Library’s IdeaLAB, a group of makerspaces spread throughout the DPL system.

“You get to make new friends and share a meal with people. It all feels very much like a warm, homecoming family meal.”

There’s an added bonus that by attending the event, attendees are helping students in need in struggling communities. Supported projects include a project in the San Luis Valley that allows teachers to go to family homes for parent teacher conferences, which builds a stronger communication system and makes it easier for parents.

“There are so many nonprofit events happening all year, we really try to make this one fun,” Cefkin said. “With the afterparty, night market, and all the other activities, we want people to leave not only feeling like they supported a great cause, but also got a great experience out of it.”

TATTOOS FOR AUSTRALIA Lakewood tattoo parlor raises money for Australian fire service through tattoos

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Peter Pridhorsky was growing up, he had the opportunity to travel to Australia. He loved watching Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality “The Crocodile Hunter,” and grew an appreciation for Australian wildlife.

Once Pridhorsky saw how severe bush fires are in Australia, he felt like he had to do something, so he came up with a charity idea — tattoos for a cause.

For one day, Jan. 16, Pridhorsky put his idea into motion at True Blue Tattoo in Lakewood by offering residents koala tattoos. The tattoos were $60, but all of the money was donated to the New South Wales Rural Fire Service — an agency headquartered in Sydney, Australia that aims to reduce the likelihood and consequences of fires that occur. The New South Wales Rural Fire Service has been fighting the fires in Australia.

“Once I realized how big of a problem (the Australia fires are), it really

TIL ONLY UN

got to me. I thought about how as a (tattoo artist), we have the option to get people who wouldn’t necessarily donate to donate a little bit to have all of that add up to be something,” said Pridhorsky, a tattoo artist at True Blue Tattoo.

According to BBC News, 28 people have died from the fires and around 15.6 million acres of bush, forest and parks in Australia have been burned.

There are still more than 100 fires burning in Australia, BBC News reported. NBC News says over 1 billion animals have been killed from the fires. An estimated 30,000 koalas have been killed or injured from the fires, NBC News reported.

“We’ve all been hearing about how awful it is (in Australia). When I heard (True Blue Tattoo) was doing this, I thought was pretty cool, and it was a good way to donate,” said Kendra Gertje, a Littleton resident who got a koala tattoo on her ankle.

Along with the koala tattoo, True Blue Tattoo offered to tattoo residents with an aboriginal rock carving of a lizard. The tattoo parlor estimates that it raised around $2,000. “(Australia) needs the most help right now. From here, there’s nothing we can do, but we can try to help (the new South Wales Rural Fire Service) with supplies or whatever this money can be used for,” said Russ Pearson, the owner of True Blue Tattoo.

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Actor Bill Hahn says theater is always a high wire act. But it becomes an even more difficult one when the show only involves two performers.

“It’s a challenge from the standpoint of there are no breaks other than intermissions,” Hahn said. “It’s all the two of you.”

But such a challenge is worth undertaking precisely because it requires its performers to develop a sense of trust and connection that can be rewarding not only for the performers but also their audience. Hahn said he thinks audiences will find that to be the case with “Frankie and Johnny in the Claire De Lune,” which opens for a five-week run at Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse on Jan. 24.

The show, which was first performed in 1987, follows two employees of a Manhattan diner whose seeming one-night stand becomes something more as it unfolds.

Warren Sherrill, who is directing the show at Miners Alley Playhouse, said the power and appeal of the show come from the universality of

Bill Hahn as Johnny, behind, and Jessica Robblee as Frankie, front, in a scene from Miner’s Alley’s playhouse’s “Frankie and Johnny in the Claire De Lune.” PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO Frankie and Johnny and their feelings for one another.

“Everyone can see themselves in these two characters,” Sherrill said.

“They are very real, they are very sad, they are very beautiful and they are also very ugly at times.”

Hahn plays Johnny, whom he describes as something of an oddball with a romantic side who is desperate to love. Jessica Robblee plays Frankie, a waitress who has become guarded and cautious as a result of past traumas yet maintains “a pretty generous heart.”

Over the course of the play, the pair’s connection grows as they learn about one another’s pasts while tak-

ing tentative steps toward a possible shared future.

“It’s about hope and in a cynical world not giving up the possibility of loving someone,” said Hahn. “I think that’s really inspiring, especially today. We live in a world now that can be disconnected and isolated at times with computers and phones and everything but this play offers the hope that we can come together and connect no matter how difficult it is and that its worth it.”

But while the show’s themes are as relevant as ever, Sherrill said he and the cast made the choice to keep its setting in 1980s New York rather than translating it to present day.

“To me it is a period piece in the sense that there are no cellphones and it takes place in the heart of NYC in the ’80s when [New York] was a much different place to live than it is now,” he said. “It wasn’t the chichi place to be it was the cheap place to live and

sometimes a scary place.”

For Hahn and Robblee, staying true to the original script also meant being willing to perform portions of the play naked. It’s an aspect pf the show that Sherrill said performers and audience alike may find uncomfortable at first but one that is ultimately an essential part of the show.

“It’s symbolic to me and to all of us in that there’s nothing else to hide these people from each other,” he said.

“This is characters being stripped down and raw.”

The nudity also serves to further heighten the already intensely intimate nature of the play.

“In an intimate space, it’s as intimate as I can ever imagine being on stage without crossing a line,” Hahn said. “If you are going to talk about love and love affairs this play goes there as much as you really can in a live theater setting.”

But like any show with nudity, “Frankie and Johnny in the Claire De Lune” also requires a certain level of maturity and discretion from its audience.

“I think this is a show for people 16 or 17 and up,” said Robblee, who brought up the recent Broadway revival of the show which saw audiences taking photos of the nude performers in what she describes as a “disrespectful” display. ““And I don’t know if I’d love seeing it with my parents. Maybe see it with some friends instead.”

D’Evelyn boys hoops upsets Green Mountain in OT

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

DENVER — D’Evelyn’s boys basketball team might have had the win Jan. 15 to jumpstart its season.

The Jaguars (6-8, 2-1 in Class 4A Jeffco League) upset then No. 10 ranked Green Mountain in an overtime thriller at D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School. D’Evelyn was able to pull away in overtime to grab a 68-62 victory.

“I’ve been waiting for this team to show up and put it all together,” D’Evelyn coach Dan Zinn said. “It wasn’t all together today, but we were a heck of a lot closer than we’ve been.

On both ends of the court we were getting done what we wanted to get accomplished.”

Senior Sandy Dinegar (23 points) and junior Luke Kjellsen (22 points) carried the offensive load for the Jaguars. D’Evelyn held a double-digit lead midway through the second quarter thanks to Dinegar’s 14 points before halftime.

“They both are playing well,” Zinn said of Dinegar and Kjellsen. “Both have multiple facets to their game that makes it hard for them to be stopped.”

Kjellsen did most of his damage in the second half. The junior’s 3-pointer early in the third quarter gave the Jaguars the lead back after Green Mountain (9-4, 2-2) went on a 12-0 run.

“Green Mountain is a really good team,” Zinn said. “We had the first-

quarter run, but basketball is a game of runs. We were able to withstand their run.”

The Rams had the ball in the final seconds of the fourth quarter with a chance to win it in regulation. However, an acrobatic driving shot by freshman Jaylin Hardwrict (16 points) didn’t fall and the put-back attempt by senior Matt Schlieper didn’t drop in.

“We have to finish,” Green Mountain coach Mike Puccio said. “There was a lot missed at the rim tonight.”

It was all Jaguars in the overtime period. D’Evelyn made just one field goal, but was 9-for-10 from the free-throw line to close out the win.

Kjellsen finished 13-of-16 from the freethrow line, all in the second half.

“I had a rough beginning the season with free throws. I was shooting something like 40 percent,” Kjellsen said.

“I knew if we were going to win big games we had to make free throws.”

D’Evelyn students there were in attendance rushed the court to celebrate with its players after the big conference win.

“We’ve had a rough go of it. I think our effort was kind of lacking,” Kjellsen said of the 4-8 record coming into Wednesday’s game. “Tonight I think we showed as a team that we can play four quarters of basketball hard and we can beat anybody.”

Green Mountain has dropped 3-of-4 games since Winter Break. Junior guard Darius Padilla has been out

D’Evelyn junior Luke Kjellsen (43) takes the ball strong to the hoop Jan. 15 on Green Mountain junior Dylan Green (32). Kjellsen poured in 22 points, including going 13-for-16 from the free-throw line in the second half to help the Jaguars to a 68-62 overtime win over the Rams.

PHOTOS BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS with a health issue for all three of the Rams’ losses since the start of the new year, which has contributed to the Rams’ turnover problems.

“We miss him,” Puccio said of Padilla. “But it’s got to be next man up. You can’t just stop winning games because

Padilla is out. He does bring a lot for us, but it’s got to be next man up.”

Green Mountain girls basketball runs winning streak to seven

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

GOLDEN — The formula Green Mountain’s girls basketball team is using this season has been pretty flawless so far.

The Rams — No. 4 in the latest CHSAANow.com Class 4A girls basketball rankings — go deep into their bench to keep opponents facing waveafter-wave of defensive pressure and have to deal with Green Mountain’s constant ball movement on offense.

“I absolutely love the balance,” Green Mountain coach Darren Pitzner said after the Rams’ 53-35 road victory Jan. 18 against Golden. “Everyone tries to take away something that you do every game. There is always someone who can step up.”

Green Mountain has only one player — freshman Jayda Maves — averaging double-digit points … and Maves isn’t even a starter.

Seniors Riley Shoemaker, Maddie Phillips, Kasey Klocek along with junior Courtney Hank and sophomores Shea Murphy and Avery Oaster all are hovering below the 10-point per game mark for the Rams.

Phillips ended up with a team-high 12 points against the Demons (3-9, 1-3

Green Mountain sophomore Avery Oaster (24) goes up strong with Golden senior Elli Garnett on her back Jan. 18 at Golden High School.

Green Mountain freshman Jayda Maves (23) makes a move on Golden senior Allyson Goodwin during the first half Jan. 18. The Rams’ 18-point victory extended Green Mountain’s winning streak to seven games.

PHOTOS BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS in 4A Jeffco). Oaster (9 points), Hank (8 points), Maves (8 points) and Klocek (7 points) headed another game of remarkable balance for Green Mountain.

“Our bench is so deep we can go to anyone and rely on them,” Phillips said.

Phillips did most of her damage in the first half with 10 points by halftime as the Rams opened up a 25-13 lead at the break.

“Maddie was a monster,” Pitzner said of the Rams’ lone player who scored double-digits. “Maddie is smooth as silk around the basket. She

has a nice soft touch and is hard to guard.”

Golden did have a nice little run to start the second half to cut Green Mountain’s lead to 27-20, but Green Mountain answered with an 8-0 run midway through the third quarter to get the lead back up to double-digit points for good.

Green Mountain (12-1, 4-0) has the task of trying to slowdown Golden senior Elli Garnett, who signed last month to continue her basketball career at the University of Northern SEE GIRLS, P18

Colorado. Garnett has 40 points earlier this year against Sand Creek.

“I was at part of the game when Elli went for 40 (points),” Pitzner said.

“I’m proud of the girls. We had five different girls guard her at times. She got off few open looks.”

Garnett finished with a game-high 17 points, but it wasn’t enough against Green Mountain.

“I think it’s fun to play against someone as good as she is,” Phillips said of playing against Garnett. “It’s good competition and it gets us going.”

Green Mountain hopes to keep it going this week. The Rams are on the road against Evergreen on Jan. 22.

The Cougars (7-4, 3-0) appears to be the lone roadblock in the Rams’ way when it comes to zeroing in on a conference title.

“Evergreen is diverse and has some balance like we do,” Pitzner
