MY NAME IS

NEWS IN A HURRY

CAROL HICKMAN

Carol Hickman has traveled around the world. She recently got an award for completing a marathon on every continent.

Here, she poses with kids she met while in Bagan, Myanmar.

Scuba diver, world traveler, underwater photographer Under the sea I have been a certified scuba diver for 25 years now. Once I got my certification and jumped in the water, I was like a fish. It is an amazing world.

You see things and ask, “How did this thing come to be and function?”

I like the smaller things rather than the bigger things. A lot of people think about sharks and sting rays, but there is a whole different world of very, very small creatures out there.

There is this creature called a pygmy sea horse. It is about the size of your thumbnail. They adopt the colors of sea fans to hide. You can’t even tell they are there until you see them move. I appreciate the little things like that. It forces you to really stop and work.

I started taking pictures underwater and then switched to video. I find it is a good way to share the experience with others because if somebody has not spent much time underwater, it is hard to appreciate what is going on down there.

trips I took was to Papua New Guinea.

I had no idea where it was and I went by myself. I was a woman in the middle of nowhere who was on a boat for 10 days with five other people.

We were such a small group that the captain would stop the boat and tell us all to jump in the water and explore.

We had no idea if anybody had dived there before. It really took me out of my comfort zone and let me experience new things.

I think the thing I have learned about traveling, whether it is diving, running or travel for work, is we’re all people and we all want the same thing. A smile always goes a long way regardless of the language barrier.

saw a breast cancer license plate and I wanted a “Committed to the Cure” plate in Colorado. I went to the DMV and they asked if I wanted to be the sponsor. I said, “yes,” having no idea what that meant. I soon found out I needed 3,000 signatures of people committed to buying a plate, a design and a legislative sponsor.

I went out to market to media because I only had six weeks to get everything together. We got everything signed and turned in within that time period and then we went through a two-year process of going through the rest of the process. My mom and I were able to grab the first and second plate to come off the production line.

Firefighters protect home from fire in open space along McArthur Ranch Road

Peyton Megown, 19, was sitting on the basement sofa in her Highlands Ranch home the afternoon of Feb. 19, watching TV as she recuperated from recent wisdom teeth surgery, when she noticed smoke and flames surging over the backyard fence.

She leapt up, called 911, grabbed the family’s three dogs and ran out of the house.

“It was just flying over the fence,” she said of the flames.

Then she called her mom, Debbie DeLong, who was at a nearby grocery store with her husband, Phillip, and daughter Savannah, 9. They rushed home to find Megown safe and firefighters toppling the fence against the

fire that burned 2 to 3 acres of open space along McArthur Ranch Road between Heatherton Street and Valleybrook Drive, just south of Southridge Recreation Center.

“We are blessed,” said Debbie DeLong, a technology teacher at Cresthill Middle School, as she looked at the charred remains of the fence and pine trees just 12 feet from the back of her home near Valleybrook Drive.

“Juveniles with a lighter” appear to have started the fire, according to Littleton Fire Rescue’s preliminary investigation, the department said on Twitter.

Littleton Fire Rescue received a call on the fire at about 2:30 p.m. Fire crews responded within minutes and had it contained before 4:15 p.m., public information officer Jackie Erwin said. There were no homes damaged and no injuries.

“We had it contained pretty quickly,” Erwin said, “but it also brewed pretty quickly because of the winds SEE FIRE, P39

Pimentel’s films are made on a low budget. He prefers this style of filmmaking because he believes it promotes more attention to storyline and character development.

““Down River” is one of Alexander Pimentel’s films that made it to Amazon Fire TV station Movies Plus. The film has received more than 70,000 international views since becoming part of the TV station.

Lone Tree resident’s films make it to TV Military veteran’s films make it to Amazon Fire

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As a film director, screenwriter, producer and actor, Alexander Pimentel runs the show.

His efforts paid off when he got word that his two feature films, “I Call First” and “Down River,” made it to a channel on an Amazon Fire TV station.

Pimentel said his film “I Call First” has recieved 60,000 international views and “Down River” recieved 70,000 international views since being added to the Amazon Fire TV station called “Movies Plus.”

“The fact that thousands of people can see what you are expressing and that they are relating to it — that is the whole point of the arts,” Pimentel, 27, said.

FOR SPECIALS:

Pimentel, a Lone Tree resident, wrote his first film, “The Incredible Thug,” at age 19 while serving in the army. He said he no longer has the film script because it was handwritten on a yellow legal pad.

The seven-minute video, as Pimentel described it, was about a nerd who was getting robbed. In the process of being robbed, he turned into a large, imposing figure and scared off the robber. It was a humorous take on “The Incredible Hulk,” Pimentel said.

“It ended up going viral on prehistoric YouTube,” Pimentel said. “We ended up getting 60,000 views, which was a lot in 2009.”

Since leaving the military, Pimentel earned his bachelor of arts at The Art Institute of Colorado in Denver.

He won awards such as “New York International Independent Film and Video Festival Award” and a “Munoz Generations International Film Festival Award” for best dramatic short. He now runs his own production com-

pany, Future of Film Productions.

Pimentel has created 10 short films and two feature films. He cites his most influential films as being “Build a Fire,” “Beyond the Ropes,” “Life Lessons,” “I Call First” and “Down River.”

Pimentel’s love for visual art began with an admiration of the illustration work of his uncle, Allan Linder. Pimentel spent a week with his uncle in California at the age of 10 and the two created a stop-motion film together.

“I look at that as my very first film,” Pimentel said. He remembered the story line being about knights highfiving after saving a castle from a giant spider.

“I guess I have been making films since I was 10,” he said.

Pimentel said that cinema is about telling stories. His films, typically costing no more than $5,000 to create, have been critiqued for the lack of visual effects and unrecognizable actors.

SEE FILMS, P39

ABOUT THE FILMS “I Call First” (2015) Bobby (Anthony Cillo) is a typical young man on the streets of Denver. Even as an adult, he stays close to home with a core group of friends with whom he drinks and hangs around. He gets involved with a local girl (Hannah Richter) he met on the RTD light rail, and decides he wants to get married and settle down. When he hears a difficult part about his girlfriend’s past, he leaves her to go back to his life of partying. When he realizes he made a mistake and asks his ex for forgiveness, he gets rejected. This story is of forgiveness and trials as two people navigate the pains of their pasts.

“Down River” (2016) “Down River” is an adapted war film, about four soldiers trapped behind enemy lines who must confront their fears and desires.

These films can be viewed on the Amazon Fire TV channel “Movies Plus” or can be purchased online at alexrpimentel.com/films.

Officer forms link between police and community Lone Tree’s Kyle Maddox ‘wears lots of hats’ in community partnership role

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Elementary students call him Officer Kyle.

As the Lone Tree Police Department’s school marshal, Kyle Maddox can often be found playing basketball with them during physical education class. Or teaching them how to make healthy and positive decisions in their lives.

Now, the other folks throughout Lone Tree will have a chance to get to know him as well in his new position as leader of the police department’s Community Partnership Unit.

The Community Partnership Unit handles community engagement and the organization of police-run events, such as Coffee with a Cop, National Night Out, open houses and citizen’s police academy.

“He understood that there was value in making relationships with neighborhoods, businesses and with our faith-based groups,” Sgt. Tim Beals said of Maddox. “I think he is very organized and that position wears a lot of hats ... We have a lot of confidence in his abilities.”

Maddox, 26, has worked patrol in Lone Tree for the past five years.

He transitioned into being school marshal and head of the Community Partnership Unit in January.

“The last five years my mind has been on patrol,” Maddox said. “Now it is nice to take a step back and focus on the community to my fullest.”

In his new position as school marshal, Maddox spends his first four hours a day visiting schools in Lone Tree. He works with kids from kindergarten through sixth

Kyle Maddox, Lone Tree Police Department school marshal, spends four hours a day interacting with kids. grade and teaches a program known as Y.E.S.S., or Youth Education and Safety in Schools, which helps students learn positive and health decision-making.

Maddox said he enjoys being a part of kids’ lives.

“They look up to you like you are Superman,” he said. “You become such an influential person in their life.”

Part of Maddox’s job in the Community Partnership Unit involves giving presentations to the public.

He communicates internally to the Lone Tree Police Department, speaks at schools, reaches out to

businesses and organizes events with the police department’s volunteers.

“He has a genuine ability to get along with everybody,” Beals said.

“He is going to have to come in contact with all kinds of different folks and settings.”

Another responsibility is coordinating Lone Tree’s police volunteers. He is now working on putting together the Citizen’s Police Academy, which starts in mid-March.

Maddox, 26, who married last October, is an outdoorsman and — having grown up in Elizabeth — a country boy at heart. When he’s not

at work, he also enjoys visiting family and watching all Colorado sports teams.

Since he was 5 years old, Maddox wanted to be a police officer. He joined the Parker Police Department’s Police Explorer Program when he was 15 and continued in the program until he was 21. The Lone Tree Police department sponsored Maddox through a police academy and he was hired by Lone Tree after he graduated.

“I can honestly say that I love what I do,” Maddox said. “This is a very good area and we have a lot of great people here.”

Coffee with a Cop caffeinates, connects community City workers, officers, police volunteers and residents get together to chat

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Not all interactions with Lone Tree’s police officers involve flashing blue and red lights. On Feb. 15, residents, city workers and police volunteers wrapped their hands around warm cups of coffee at Starbucks and conversed with police officers during the department’s most recent Coffee with a Cop. “Lone Tree residents let us know what is going on, which is great,”

Cmdr. Ron Pinson said.

The event lasted from 9 to 11 a.m.

Many people walked into the Starbucks, 9998 Commons St., and stayed to have a conversation with an officer. Others, like 12-year-old Sarah Parton, came specifically to talk to the officers. Parton wants to be a detective one day.

“They were really nice,” Parton said. “They talked to me about a bunch of programs I can do.”

Many walked away with a Lone Tree Police Department mug and a new connection to their community’s police department.

“It is a really great opportunity for citizens to meet Lone Tree officers,” said Mike Moody, who has been a Lone Tree police volunteer since 2008.

Campaign collects suits for soldiers STAFF REPORT

Members of the military who are trying to transition into the civilian workforce received free suits and business attire at an event in Lone Tree last week.

The clothing was collected by the Farmers Insurance Suits for Soldiers national campaign and was distributed Feb. 16 and 17 at Public Service Credit Union on Park Meadows Drive. The credit union also hosted workshops on resume writing and interviewing.

Thomas Swenson, a local Farmers Insurance agent, sponsored the

campaign by accepting clothing donations at his office, according to a news release.

“We all have a chance to contribute and have a real impact on someone else’s life,” he said.

More than 500 suits and pieces of business attire were expected to be distributed in Lone Tree. The campaign has resulted in the nationwide collection of more than 70,000 articles of clothing, the release stated.

Veterans can visit www.farmers. com/careers/veterans-resources/ for additional resources to aid in the transition to the civilian workforce.

Rural fire districts awarded money to help protect forest Five departments split $100,000 in federal funds

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Protectors of the Pike National Forest get a financial boost each year from Douglas County, and that help came again Feb. 14 with a $100,000 donation of federal funds to five rural fire districts serving the national park in Douglas County.

“We appreciate all the efforts that the fire districts provide for us in response to a lot of areas that are pretty remote here in Douglas County,” said Tim Johnson, director of emergency management with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

The federal government awards funds to the county to help offset losses in property taxes on non-taxable federal land — like the forest — within its boundaries. The county has donated a portion of those “Payment in Lieu of Taxes” funds to the rural fire districts since 2002.

The Pike National Forest, spanning 1.1 million acres, is accessible by Colorado State Highway 67 in Douglas County, west of Sedalia. The area offers camping, fishing and trails for hiking or horseback riding.

The forest is often victim to wild-

fires, most notably the Hayman fire of 2002 that burned more than 137,000 acres, which fire chiefs used as an example before commissioners Feb. 14.

For the fire districts, which answered 148 calls in the Pike National Forest in 2016, the money supplements a small tax base, Mountain Communities Fire Chief Steve Brown said. He noted the Pike National Forest fills 80 percent of the agency’s district.

“We couldn’t update equipment without it,” Brown told county commissioners.

Departments largely use the funds for equipment, such as protective gear, radios, ATVs and chainsaws.

The distribution among departments was based on the number of calls each had in 2016, Johnson said.

District 3 County Commissioner Lora Thomas said recreation is what people love about the county, while District 1 Commissioner David Weaver reflected on the number of fires in recent decades.

“If it wasn’t for you, Douglas County probably wouldn’t look like it does today,” Weaver said. “So thank you very much for all your efforts and everything you do.”

Roger Partridge, chairman of the board of commissioners, said the fire departments are a “godsend.”

“We wish you continued safety and security,” he said.

‘You’re a better person ... around Grant’ Parker teen logs more than 500 hours of volunteer service

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While most high schoolers are sleeping in on weekends, Grant Mueller is lending a hand.

The 18-year-old Parker resident and senior at Regis Jesuit High School stays busy enough with the school’s jazz band and track team, but what free time he has is spent at the Parker Task Force.

He started coming to the task force — which provides Parker, Franktown and Elizabeth families in need with groceries and career counseling — in the eighth grade. But he soon made it part of his weekly schedule, and in January he surpassed 500 hours of service.

“I was just coming because we had to get service hour requirements for school,” Mueller said. “I kept on coming back because the people are such good-hearted people that it just made it fun.”

Parker Task Force President Steve Budnack said Mueller’s impact there has been “unbelievable,” and he inspires the other volunteers.

“They see this young man who does

Parker resident and Regis Jesuit student Grant Mueller holds a stuffed tiger in the break room at the Parker Task Force. The tiger is awarded daily to the delivery driver who returns with the most boxes of donated food.

TOM SKELLEY not have to be here… he wants to be here,” Budnack said. “He’s grown since when he was in eighth grade (and) this was something he wanted to try to where it’s part of his life now.”

He added that Mueller’s dedication to the food bank sets him apart from his peers.

“He volunteers at every single food

drive we have here, he hasn’t missed any. Not only that, but during the summer he comes back and volunteers throughout the week,” Budnack said.

“He has over 500 community service hours with us. What kid does that?”

Mueller said he’s taken more than community service hours from his volunteering.

The clients he’s met and the stories they’ve shared helped him realize how good he has it. He wishes more people understood that often the only difference between the volunteers and the clients at the bank are circumstance.

“It’s really been very humbling for me,” Mueller said. “Just to see what [situation] they’re in and how privileged I was in my life... Once you go out in the real world and actually interact with these people, they’re really down to earth.”

Volunteering started with the task force, but it hasn’t ended there. He spent much of last summer interning at the Willowbrook Place memory care facility near Littleton and at Children’s Hospital in Aurora. He hopes the skills he’s learned will lead to a career in health care. He hasn’t chosen a college yet but hopes to get a degree, and eventually a career, in health care.

Whatever path he takes, Mueller plans to make time to give back. He hopes to return to the task force during school breaks and, wherever he lives after college, he plans to find a place to volunteer. Maybe someday, he’ll bring his children along as his father did.

Budnack said wherever Mueller works, the company will be lucky to have him.

“You’re a better person when you’re around Grant,” he said.

Proud to be a new American

52 immigrants gain U.S. citizenship at Denver naturalization ceremony

WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? A naturalization ceremony took place Feb. 14 at the History Colorado Center in downtown Denver during which 52 people took the Oath of Allegiance to the United States and received a Certificate of Naturalization.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dennis Reijnders’ American-born wife Anna was about six months away from gaining Dutch citizenship when his job with a cell phone company was transferred to a different city in the Netherlands.

But the couple, who met when Anna was going to college in Britain, didn’t want to live in Amsterdam. They decided to move to the U.S. “He was always fascinated with America,” Anna Reijnders said.

So they stored their belongings and moved into Anna’s parents’ basement. Upon arrival, they set a one-year goal to get new jobs, cars and a home to call their own.

The couple, who now live in Thornton, met these initial goals then moved on to something even bigger.

Dennis and 51 other people from 29 countries became U.S. citizens in a Feb. 14 ceremony in downtown Denver attended by family and friends.

The ceremony, which took place at the History Colorado Center, was the first of many to occur across the U.S. during the week leading up to President’s Day, in which 25,000 people were slated to earn U.S. citizenship.

“It takes commitment and hard work,” said Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet in a letter read by his senior advisor Rosemary Rodriguez at the ceremony.

But not only did these people choose to become U.S. citizens, said JJ Rutherford, director of education at the History Colorado, they chose to be residents of Colorado.

“Being a citizen is a privilege,” new citizen Luis Lopez of Aurora said. “You get better opportunities.

That’s why they call America the land of opportunity.”

Lopez grew up in a border town in Mexico. All his life he knew he would like the U.S., he said. “This is something I’ve always wanted.”

So had Abdel Perez Moreno of Colorado Springs. Born in Panama, Moreno, 38, has been in the country since 1993. He went to high school in Colorado Springs, and although he attended some college for a career in auto mechanics, citizenship will help open doors for better jobs, he said.

“I’m very proud of him,” said mother Eneida Davis. “He is a good son, and he deserves this.”

Yolanda Burton, a dentist in her home country of Colombia, came to the U.S. eight years ago when she married her American-born husband Mark.

Having citizenship is important, Burton said, because it gives a person the right to vote. But for her personally, Burton wanted her

The new citizens live across Colorado and emigrated from 29 countries:

PROCESS OF BECOMING A U.S. CITIZEN Determine eligibility — A person must meet certain requirements to become a U.S. citizen. These requirements include, but are not limited to, duration of time residing in the U.S. as a permanent resident, aka green card; ability to read, write and speak basic English; and knowing the fundamentals of U.S. history and understanding of the structure and principles of the U.S. government.

Apply for naturalization — Collect all required documentation needed to prepare and submit Form N-400, which is the application for naturalization.

Biometrics and interview — Most people will need to have his or her biometrics taken. This includes a criminal background check conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Applicants will also do an interview with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This is when the applicant takes the English language and government and civics tests.

Burton, a Denver resident, encourages everybody who is eligible to earn citizenship to do so.

“It’s not a hard process,” she said, “just time-consuming.”

That process includes demonstrating good moral character, becoming competent with the English language and passing a U.S. civics and government test of 10 questions chosen from 100 possible ones studied.

Norma and Youssef Ibrahim of Aurora left their careers as doctors in Egypt to come to the U.S. so they could provide a better life and good education for their three children.

Wait for decision — Applicants will receive written notice of decision from the USCIS. The agency will approve, continue if additional information is needed, or deny the person’s naturalization application.

Take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States — All persons approved to become a citizen must attend a naturalization ceremony, during which the Oath of Allegiance will be administered and new citizens will receive Certificates of Naturalization. Most ceremonies will have people available to assist with voter registration and all new citizens are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the rights and responsibilities of being an American citizen.

“There’s no comparison to the U.S.”

Gene-editing tool raises big hopes, big concerns Ethics report looks at how to fight disease without crossing lines

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD ASSOCIATED PRESS

Don’t expect designer babies any time soon — but a major new ethics report leaves open the possibility of one day altering human heredity to fight genetic diseases, with stringent oversight, using new tools that precisely edit genes inside living cells.

What’s called genome editing already is transforming biological research, and being used to develop treatments for patients struggling with a range of diseases.

The science is nowhere near ready for a huge next step that raises ethical questions — altering sperm, eggs or embryos so that babies don’t inherit a disease that runs in the family, says a report Feb. 14 from the National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Medicine.

But if scientists learn how to safely pass alterations of the genetic code to future generations, the panel said “germline” editing could be attempted under strict criteria, including that it targets a serious

disease with no reasonable alternative and is conducted under rigorous oversight.

“Caution is absolutely needed, but being cautious does not mean prohibition,” said bioethicist R. Alta Charo of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

“This committee is not saying we will or should do germline — heritable — editing. What we are saying is that we can identify a set of strict conditions under which it would be permissible to do it,” Charo added.

“But we are far, far away from being ready to try.”

Genome editing should not go beyond healing the sick and enhance traits such as physical strength, what’s commonly called “designer babies,” the panel stressed.

But the public should get involved in these debates now, to say what might one day be acceptable.

The long-awaited report offers advice — the prestigious academies cannot set policy. But it is considered a step toward creating international norms for responsible development of this powerful technology.

The U.S. National Academies and its counterparts in Britain and China have been holding international meetings with the hope of doing just that.

“Genome editing is a new tool for gene therapy and it has tremen-

dous promise,” Charo said. But, she added, it has to be pursued in a way that promotes well-being and is responsible, respectful and fair.

Genome editing is essentially a biological version of cut-and-paste software, allowing scientists to turn genes on or off, repair or modify them inside living cells. There are a few older methods but one with the wonky name CRISPR-Cas9 is so much faster, cheaper and simpler to use that it has spurred an explosion of research.

Under development are ways to treat a range of diseases from sickle cell and hemophilia to cancer. In lab experiments using human cells or animals engineered with humanlike disorders, scientists are unraveling how gene defects fuel disease — and are even trying to grow transplantable human organs inside pigs.

That kind of research is very promising, is adequately regulated today and should continue at full speed, the National Academies panel concluded.

When it comes to the more sci fi-sounding uses, it’s quite possible scientists will learn how to perform germline editing in five to 10 years, said panel co-chair Richard Hynes of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Safety is one reason for caution, he said, as scientists will have to learn whether editing one

gene has unwanted downstream effects.

Some critics argue that families plagued by inherited diseases already have other alternatives — adopt, use donated eggs, or undergo in vitro fertilization and discard resulting embryos that inherit the bad gene. But Charo noted that sometimes parents carry two copies of a lethal gene, guaranteeing any children inherit it. Others oppose the discarding of embryos for religious reasons.

For some families, “you can see there would be strong arguments for doing it” if the other criteria are met, said Robin Lovell-Badge of Britain’s Francis Crick Institute.

Some countries prohibit any germline editing research. Others, such as Britain, allow laboratory research with genome editing in embryos, not for pregnancy but to understand human development.

In the U.S., scientists can perform laboratory embryo research only with private, not government, funding. Any attempt at pregnancy would require permission from the Food and Drug Administration, which is currently prohibited from using federal funds to review any such request.

“The bottom line is there is no planetary government with enforcement power,” Charo noted on Feb. 14.

On menu of personal characteristics, choose items that are truly healthy WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

S

o the other day as I was standing in line waiting to order my lunch, I found myself staring at the menu and trying to decide what I was really in the mood for that day. Even though I had eaten at the same place hundreds of times in my life and I knew the menu like the back of my hand, I still reviewed my choices like it was the first time I had ever been there.

After much deliberation, I eventually ordered the same thing I order almost 90 percent of the time. There were dozens of choices, but yet I ordered what was somehow programmed in my head already.

As I thought about this over lunch, I thought

about the menu of life and how I can choose what I would like to see in myself or believe about myself. And I was reminded of a quote that I had heard somewhere along the way, “You are what you believe yourself to be.”

And so as I ran through my mental menu I thought about some of the ways I choose to see myself, and maybe how others might see me. The items on my menu that I could choose from included loving, caring, forgiving, compassionate, energized, consistent, winner, champion, thoughtful, father, friend, smart, generous and happy. The good news is that I didn’t have to make a single choice, I could actually have everything on the menu, or at

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR You might have to shoot back OK, you’ve worked for 20 years in a office or classroom. In those 20 years you’ve never felt the need or desire to carry a firearm. So my question is this: In those 20 years, how many times did a person with a gun burst in and start shooting people like fish in a barrel?

I am a Vietnam veteran and there is only one thing I know for sure: Everything changes when somebody shoots back.

Imagine any active shooter situation, and this time there’s a concealed carry present, and that person could summon the courage just to shoot back. Or imagine there is no gun present, and now you’re just cowering behind your desk waiting to get shot in the head. How can anybody say being totally unarmed is a good idea?

least strive to be everything on the menu.

Now maybe my list or menu sounds a like a bit of an ego trip, and maybe I am not always all of those things each and every day. I mean we all have our off days and moments, don’t we? But just like going to the same restaurant over and over again, and becoming extremely familiar with the menu, these are the things I want to consistently think about and become familiar with for myself.

Just think about the alternative for a minute. What if our mental menu consisted of dozens of options that didn’t appeal to us and SEE NORTON, P13

Just a thought: Let’s not hear it for all the heartfelt opinions

he food was just delicious, and we loved the way ‘Katy’ introduced herself. She said, ‘They named me after Katy, Texas, not Katy Perry.’ The décor made us feel right at home. My steak was cooked to perfection. Five stars, for sure.”

“One of the worst meals I’ve ever had. And why do they insist upon introducing themselves? It should be against the law. The décor looked like the 1970s rental furniture I had when I was in college. My steak tasted like it was made by Goodyear. One star.”

Two diners on the same day ordered the same thing from the same waitress at the same restaurant.

Some of us learn about opinions at an early age.

There should be a class in art school devoted to it, so that later on you know how to take the good with the bad.

Many of us enjoyed the back and forth between Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, film critics who could disagree about the same film, just like Katy’s diners.

Up until blockbuster orgies of special effects and gratuitous violence became the film industry’s standards (with a few exceptions), I thought I might want to be a film critic.

Not now.

I have been asked to be an art critic.

No thank you.

You can’t win.

Art and film and music are all vulnerable to ignorance. You’ve heard “I know what I like.”

QUIET DESPERATION

The truth is, for most of us, “We like what we know.”

Garbage men.

The renters next door left in a huff because the owner decided to sell, and gave them 30 days to get out.

They chose to leave a souvenir of their displeasure. I guess they thought it was in the face of the owner, but it was in the face of the neighborhood, because we had to look at it for a week.

They left what looked like everything they owned in the driveway, and it wasn’t pretty.

On the following Friday morning, the garbage truck drove up, and a thin young man got out, put his hands on his hips, and shook his head.

It didn’t go unnoticed.

Senator should focus on us U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner says he is worried that paid out-of-state protesters are impeding his constituents’ ability to reach him and express their legitimate concerns.

His actions, however, do not indicate that he actually wants to hear from his constituents: • He never publicly addressed the flood of phone calls, emails and rallies regarding the cabinet nominees.

• He is refusing to schedule a town hall meeting while he is in Colorado doing in-district work during the Congressional spring recess or commit to one at a later date.

• He does not advertise telephone town hall meetings on his website or in his newsletter and holds them at inconvenient times during the day.

His staff says that as a senator, Gardner has a busy and full schedule. How-

throughout our day? What if we saw that very same menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert? If we did, and if we were choosing from the menu of the good instead of the bad, we would be nourishing our own bodies and probably also nourishing anyone else who we happen to be around each day.

ever, Sen. Gardner has time, as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, to fundraise for Republicans representing constituents in other states.

Who, then, does he represent?

Staying inside the circle Parker man helps others get back on track with God and grub

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s a sunny Saturday morning in February.

Inside the Parker Evangelical Presbyterian Church community room, Julian Maestas sits on a couch and draws an invisible circle on the polished surface of a coffee table with his finger.

He says it represents a state of godly living, where a man meets his obligations to his family, to his God, to society.

“Often, without my father’s love, I stepped outside of that circle,” he says.

Maestas, a Parker resident, was incarcerated from 2003-07 for a variety of charges, including burglary, escape and possession of a controlled substance. His problems stemmed from addiction, but he says the absence of a father figure in his life set him on the path to prison.

“I’ve been shot, I’ve been stabbed,” he says. “It seems like I’m just trying

fellowship to keep him moving in the right direction. He joined Southeast Christian Church and became the community outreach director at Cross Culture Church in Green Valley Ranch.

A father of seven, Maestas repaired his relationship with his oldest three children and moved back in with his wife and their youngest four children.

He started a program called “Father Up,” helping other men in transition rebuild their live. In 2014, he began attending the Men’s Breakfast group at PEPC, where he brings as many men from halfway houses as he can with him.

“It has changed us in a good way,” says Gary McCusker, Family Life Pastor at PEPC. “Julian has so much energy, you can tell that where he’s coming from, he just wants to make a difference.”

Acknowledging Parker’s “homogenous” population, McCusker says Maestas and his companions give his group a chance to reach a more diverse population. It’s an arrangement he hopes will prosper.

“We’ve kind of left an open door,” he says.

Wanting to belong This Saturday, Jason Hoskins and Al Waters walk through the door with Maestas. Both went to college, both have children and both are trying to regain their place in society, and with their families.

Both give Maestas credit for helping them along the way.

“He’s my go-to guy,” Waters, a father of six, says. “I can call him at one o’clock in the morning.”

Waters was abused as a child and served time for identity theft and forgery. Now he works at the Inverness Hotel in Arapahoe County and is writing screenplays. He says

Jason Hoskins rolls a table to be put away after the Men’s Breakfast group at Parker Evangelical Presbyterian Church on Feb. 11. Hoskins says he’s trying to make a connection with his estranged son and mentor men with substance abuse problems to repay the efforts others made to help him.

the men’s group at PEPC keeps him grounded, and he’s made a lot of progress with his standing in his family.

Hoskins is trying to mend his relationship with his 14-year-old son. He says the fellowship he feels at each monthly breakfast leaves him feeling good, ready to meet the challenges he’ll face in the weeks before the next one.

“Every man wants to be listened to, every boy wants to be in the club,” Hoskins says. “When you grow up and you’re not getting that …”

He trails off for a moment, looking to the ceiling and shaking his head.

“Everybody just wants to be a part of something,” he says.

‘It’s like family’ For his part, Maestas says Hoskins, Waters and the other men he comes to breakfast with do as much for him as he does for them. He says it’s good to know they have his back.

During discussion in the community room, Maestas asks the 60 or so men in attendance to raise their hands if they had a father or a man in their life who gave them all the guidance they needed growing up.

About 25 percent raise their hands.

He says that’s typical of the different groups he prays with. He says all men, even the ones with a clean record and a father, still need a community to help them live up to their potential, to stay in the circle.

He says that community is there, at the breakfast table, every month.

“This is where 100 men will come alongside you and lift you up and walk with you,” Maestas says. “It’s like family.”

Night to Shine a crowning achievement Centennial prom event draws people with developmental disabilities

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Young men and women stepped out of limousines, walked the red carpet, ate a catered dinner and danced the night away at the Night to Shine prom at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Centennial.

“This is my first prom,” said Nora Jacobs, one of the event attendees.

“When I dance, I like to swirl and turn.”

Night to Shine, a prom for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is put on by Bethesda Lutheran Communities and hosted at Shepherd of the Hills. The event was sponsored by the Florida-based Tim Tebow Foundation, established by former Denver Bronco Tim Tebow and which works promotes special events for people in need.

The Feb. 10 event featured 456 volunteers and served 150 individuals.

Prom attendees, all 14 and older, came from throughout the Denver metro area.

Beginning at 5 p.m., makeup artists, shoe shiners and hair stylists were available to pamper promgoers. As they made their way to the banquet room, they walked the red carpet, where they were cheered on by volunteers and smiled for the friendly paparazzi photographers.

In the back corner of the room, a caricature artist made cartoon memories for participants to take home. In another corner, flashing lights from a photo booth captured smiling faces throughout the night. Just outside the doors, limousines took promgoers on rides around the block.

After dinner, the music started and the dancing began.

“I like to boogie, but I really like to break dance,” Braden Cook said.

Everyone got crowned either king or queen.

And volunteers worked throughout the night to ensure an amazing prom for everyone.

“It is a great way to give back to the community,” said volunteer Ashley Larson, a freshman at Lutheran High School in Parker. “My grandma works with people who have special needs. I really love them.”

The event was one of three in Colorado and one of 350 around the world on the same night, said Chad Wietrick, the West Central regional

director of Bethesda Lutheran Communities.

Bethesda Lutheran is a Christian organization based in Watertown, Wisconsin, that helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities connect with their communities.

The community helped support the event: Chick-fil-A donated $2,000 worth of food for volunteers and community members gave hundreds of dresses. Photographers, makeup

artists, limousine drivers, the DJ and caterers all greatly discounted their services.

The event’s $14,000 pricetag was covered by the Tim Tebow Foundation and private backers.

“We look at this as an opportunity to give to people with disabilities who never experienced the prom,” Wietrick said. “Everyone gets crowned as king and queen. It shows that everybody is loved.”

Spotlight On Business

INTERVIEW WITH RENOVATION CONSULTANT, MARK HORVATH

Herald: What is Your Background?

Mark: 40+ years in the home remodel and construction industry starting at a young age maintaining two homes with a construction company and farm in the family.

An MBA in Accounting and a BS in Business Administration/Economics. Also, certifications in Green Building, QuickBooks, and BQA to help with mini farm or ranch.

Twenty years in Colorado working as a Project Manager, Superintendent, and Licensed Contractor in residential and commercial construction. My wife and I recently completed a roof down, home remodel allowing us to sell at one of the highest per square foot of $242.38 in the 80123-zip code.

The TV show aspect can be limited and misleading. In one show an Aurora home was evaluated for $13,000 dollars of immediate work. I calculated around $25,000. Enlisting my services can provide value in understanding items like our conditions, building codes, or even our insurance climate versus someone from out of state that would not readily know.

Hopefully we can recognize that the internet and home shows can provide a limited education on remodeling and regional trends but, not wisdom or experience. For example, what happens with a toilet leak in the guest bathroom 10 pm Friday night with family arriving Saturday morning? You pull the toilet to reseal and find the sewer pipe is cracked and surrounded by concrete. What do you do?

Herald: What Services do you provide:

Herald: How does a person value your service?

Mark: To be your consumer advocate as a “Renovation Consultant.” To help guide and educate you through the construction process and what to expect with your project. Perform site evaluation providing a written plan to help guide and direct you in achieving your goals and vision for your home whether purchasing, selling, or your forever home on specific projects or full management services.

Mark: One of the best examples of value would be helping you plan and manage a 1-2 month kitchen remodel from becoming a 6+ month project. With the national average kitchen remodel around $36,000, the investment in my service can save you thousands of dollars, time, and/or frustration.

Herald: What would your clients look like?

Mark: For a full house remodel evaluation it is a flat rate dependent upon the size and value of your home. Scope of work can be customized to reflect your project and vision. Also, an hourly basis if your projects are minimal. If you desire more help, I can create a scope of work that fits your needs.

Mark: I welcome a client who asks questions.

1st time home buyer, Do-it-Yourselfers, new or forever home, and if you desire a ranchette or mini farm. As an example, help the homeowner understand why one home may be a better choice over another. Or, why increasing the investment in an area(s) would be better in the long run versus a select finish or add-on.

Herald: What is the difference between you and the home shows?

Mark: This is a great question. Please recognize TV shows are staged and can be ½ reality and ½ construction. Also, to create drama often there are “foundation” issues that pop up in the middle of the remodel.

Something you would have inspected before buying?

Herald: What is the cost of your service?

Herald: What advice can you give our readers?

Mark: Don’t forget to laugh! It will help you manage your expectations with your wants, needs, and desires keeping in mind the scope of your project and budget.

Also, de-clutter your home prior to the project start date. Even though the contractor may not have provided a line item in the estimate for working with the clutter, the cost of doing so will be included in the price if they must work around it.

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

lot of ingredients are required to distill good, quality spirits. But one requirement is at the root of them all — passion.

“I went to Kentucky and Tennessee to learn from the distillers there,” said Mitch Abate, distiller at Downslope Distilling in Centennial. “It’s really cool to see people’s reactions when they try our drinks for the first time and have their preconceived notions changed.”

A distiller’s passion can be tasted in the dedication to the craft, quality of the spirits and how well the product is received.

“I’ve been distilling for 26 years,” said Stephen Gould, owner and distiller at Golden Moon Distillery and Speakeasy. “To make our drinks, we bring in ingredients from all over the world, and the finished product goes out to countries like the United Kingdom, Italy and Denmark.”

Distilling is the process that purifies alcohol by heating it into vapor, which is then condensed through cooling.

The independent brewery scene in Colorado has been steadily growing for decades, and that same approach is now following suit in the world of distilling. According to the Colorado Distillers Guild, the state is home to more than 50 distillers making everything from whiskey and gin to kümmel and aquavit. In this growing

industry, there’s all kinds of room for experimentation and variety.

“We’re Colorado’s only producer of aquavit, which is a Scandinavian spirit,” said Ryan White, owner of Devil’s Head Distillery in Englewood.

“We also do vodka and gin, but we wanted to make something that would differentiate us from everyone else.”

Local distillers’ commitment to quality, often locally-grown ingredients, is one reason more people are becoming interested in the industry, White said.

“There’s a greater interest from the public in locally-sourced goods,” he said. “There’s been a renewed focus on supporting local businesses, which has also been beneficial.”

Although people have grown more familiar over time with the process for making beer and wine, the steps and nuances of distilling are still unfamiliar to many, which lends the process an appealing bit of mystery. But one of the goals of distilleries is to educate people, so tours are often offerred to show how the drinks are made.

Downslope Distilling takes education a step further and offers a distilling class once a month. Abate said he’s had students from all over the world learn about spirits and some of the ways they’re made.

“More and more people are coming in these days with at least some SEE DISTILLING, P17

In Colorado, it is legal to brew up to 100 gallons of beer and wine for personal use, but it is illegal to distill spirits without a federal permit or taxes.

There is no Colorado statute explicitly prohibiting stills, but it is illegal to use a still to make spirits for consumption or resale without a license.

The state does offer a distillery pub license to make spirits legally.

Mitch Abate, distiller at Downslope, went to Kentucky and Tennessee to learn some of the secrets of making whiskey.

Irish dance tour has Colorado roots Castle Rock athlete saw show years ago that changed his life

IF YOU GO “RHYTHM OF THE NIGHT: THE IRISH DANCE SPECTACULAR” plays at Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree, at 7:30 p.m. on March 8. Tickets range from $43 to $53, lonetreeartscenter.org, 720509-1000.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The national tour starts soon, and first, creator/producer Justin Boros, of Castle Rock, will be in Florida, tweaking the light and sound for “Rhythm in the Night: The Irish Dance Spectacular.” Then the cast of 22 (20 dancers and two violinists) and crew of six to eight production people will load equipment into a large truck and people into a big bus and they’ll head to California to launch the company’s first coast-tocoast, fully booked tour.

The company will perform on March 8 at the Lone Tree Arts Center — the first time in Colorado, then travel to the East Coast.

They have been rehearsing in Colorado Springs recently, with dancers who hail from Mexico, New Zealand, Russia and the U.S. Boros held auditions at a big Irish dance event in Orlando, he said. “By the end of April, we will have performed in 30 shows.” Then, he’ll prepare to launch “Carol of the King: The Irish Dance Christmas Spectacular” in the fall. And next spring, 2018, it will be

Most distilleries have tasting rooms, so visitors can sample the finished product. Golden Moon

tour time again for “Rhythm of the Night.”

Boros was a muscular, tall basketball player at his Castle Rock high school — and then came the night he caught a glimpse of Michael Flatley’s “Lord of the Dance” on TV, which changed his life.

He bought some appropriate shoes and Colin Dunne’s instructional video, “Celtic Feet,” and practiced

on a four-by-eight-foot piece of wood in his basement — every night for 18 months.

Then on a family trip to Disneyland in Florida, he delivered an audition tape to “The Best of Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance,” which was playing at the Epcot Center. Granted an audition, he had a contract the next day, and danced with them for the next 30 months.

Then, he started thinking about forming his own company and hired composers to create an orchestral background, which differs from accompaniment used by other Irish dance groups. He bulked up his sixfoot-four-inch frame and was ready to play the heavy in the storyline he developed. He worked on the storyline for 10 years.

Composers worked for two years on the music, sending it back and forth. “The orchestral background enhances the effect of the dance,” he said. He describes the process that went on in his head as “Star Wars” meets “Lord of the Rings.”

Boros plays the villain and a dancer named Sergei plays the good guy, he says, while Amanda is the bad girl and Alexandria is the good girl. The storyline carries the production as the company, Two Step Productions, heads out on national travels with a tale of a fallen hero and his rise to redemption. Now 35, Boros is excited to bring this show to his home in Colorado.

opened its speakeasy three years ago to provide customers a classic cocktail bar vibe to try the distillery’s many offerings.

Bars like the Schoolhouse Kitchen and Libations in Olde Town Arvada use locally made whiskey to enhance their collection of more than 1,100 whiskeys.

“Colorado’s whiskey scene is exploding right now,” said Lane Abshire, Schoolhouse’s resident whiskey nerd. “We have a lot of demand for local stuff. All the time

people come in looking for Colorado whiskey.”

Many of these creations are being recognized in and out of Colorado.

Last year, Golden Moon’s single malt whiskey won a double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Devil’s Head’s aquavit was recognized at the Denver International Spirits Competition, and Downslope’s Ould Tom Gin received

the silver at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Unfamiliarity about spirits and a fear of asking questions may have kept people from trying spirits, but Gould wants to change that.

“What I do is not about excluding people, but making things people enjoy,” he said. “We want to welcome everyone here to learn what they like.”

Dancers in “Rhythm in the Night: Irish Dance Spectacular” will appear at Lone Tree Arts Center on March 8. Justin Boros of Castle Rock (center) is producer.

Comedy brings warmth to Alaskan wilderness ‘Brilliant Traces’ makes return visit to Vintage

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One enters the smaller theater at Vintage past the dark, snowy porch of a woodsy cabin, to find a cozy, rustic interior where a silent man sits, contemplating — probably how it usually looks in this isolated place. Wind howls in the wilds of Alaska.

The Vintage Theatre stage goes dark at curtain time and when lights come up, a lump huddles under the blankets on the bed.

Soon, there is a pounding at the door and when he answers, a bedraggled young woman in wedding finery stumbles in. “I’ve been driving for three days,” she says. (Playwright Cindy Lou Johnson immediately has our attention.)

The woman has a stout shot from the bottle of Jameson’s on the table, kicks off her shoes and passes out. She sleeps for two days after he carefully tucks her into bed.

As she sleeps, he picks up her shoes and bursts into tears — then sticks them in the oven so he won’t have to look at them. Bad idea — he forgets and

IF YOU GO “BRILLIANT TRACES” fplays through March 5 at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets: $24$30, vintagetheatre.org or 303-856-7830. turns that oven on …

Roseannah Deluce (Maggie Stacy) and Henry Harry (Christian Mast) are a troubled pair of individuals — wellplayed by skillful actors. He lives at the end of nowhere by choice and she has run away from her own wedding, stopping only for gas and a candy bar every five hours. What’s the backstory here?

“Brilliant Traces” by Cindy Lou Johnson played in New York in 1989.

This is a second run for Vintage Theatre, after a 2008 production. “I so longed to hear the beautiful words of Cindy Lou Johnson again,” said director Craig Bond in his notes. The language is indeed often poetic as the runaway bride talks about her feeling of “hovering” above it all. And at times, she verges on hysterical.

It’s called a comedy and certainly has its humorous spots — the mix. It produces an engaging, light evening of theater. Sit back. Let them tell you a story.

‘Cinderella: The Musical’ coming to school stage STAFF REPORT

“Cinderella: The Musical” was originally written for television, starring Julie Andrews in 1957, and adapted for the Broadway stage the following year.

Mardi Gras draws crowd in Littleton Denver musician A.J. Fullerton and Mississippi blues drummer Stud Ford played on Feb. 18 for Littleton’s Mardi Gras festival.

STAFF REPORT

The south metro suburbs may not spring to mind when one thinks of Mardi Gras, but downtown Littleton celebrated the beginning of Lent a little early.

Bars and restaurants around town hosted blues bands and served Louisiana-style food and drink on Feb. 17 and 18.

At Jake’s Brew Bar on Main Street, patrons dined on a crawfish boil and took in music by local singer/songwriter A.J. Fullerton, with special guest Stud Ford, a Mississippi-based drummer and grandson of legendary bluesman T-Model Ford.

While he didn’t know how many people it drew in, Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association President Greg Reinke said the event went well, with Friday night being slightly bigger.

“The weather was awesome, the bars and restaurants all made money,” he said.

A moment in time: Readers’ Workshop Elementary teacher spends time with students one-on-one

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Students enter the classroom to the strains of music, toned-down versions of The Beatles and Jim Croce playing softly to begin the day. One song repeats, a signal for the students togather on the carpet in the center of the room.

Teacher Patrick Allen, a 16-year veteran at Frontier Valley Elementary in Parker, reads a few pages from “Butterfly House” by Eve Bunting. Allen chose the book to explore how sensory images, like the smell of flowers or the warmth of the sun, enhance reading comprehension.

The passage describes a child releasing a faltering butterfly from its chrysalis, and alludes to the transformation taking place within the story’s protagonist, a young girl.

“Maybe it’s a metaphor, maybe the whole book is a metaphor,” one child suggests.

“I wonder if this might be something to think about,” Allen joins in, nudging the young readers toward understanding.

He writes key points on an enlarged easel pad, an exercise the students will replicate with their “readers’ notebooks” throughout the morning.

“Happy reading,” Allen says. “You guys have fun.”

And they scatter. Some to their desks, some to a comfortable spot on the carpet, some to a bathtub filled with cushions.

Allen visits with each one, individually, taking notes and talking about the finer points of their chosen works, from biographies of Amelia Earhart and Derek Jeter to “Confessions of a Former Bully” and “Stuart Little.”

“They kind of lead my instruction,” he says. “I’m just giving them tools to guide their reading.”

From about 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., the children read silently, or not so silently, or talk about their books with their

Patrick Allen gesticulates to make a point to his students during the group reading and discussion segment of his Readers’ Workshop class at Frontier Valley Elementary on Feb. 10. Allen discusses the book with students before sending them off to read books they have each chosen. friends as they choose. Allen doesn’t tell them to be quiet or sit down, and the class ends with Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” instead of a bell.

It may not seem as structured as the school days most adults remember, but

Allen, who’s written a book about the effectiveness of the Readers’ Workshop method, prefers engaged readers to a quiet classroom.

“By meeting with them as individuals,” he says, “you get to know who they really are.”

Young adult refugees share their stories of hardship, faith Regis wartime speaker series continues through April 24 STAFF REPORT

Regis University’s weekly public speaker series “Stories from wartime” is held every Tuesday night through April 24 at the Regis’ Northwest Denver Campus.

A recent evening focused on the stories of four young refugees. All but one of the young adults flew into Denver to attend the event: An architectural designer. An accountant. A scientist. A university student who is active in social justice work.

They are accomplished young adults whose lives were forever changed by the wars in their countries – wars the United States has been involved in, which is why Regis historian Nate Matlock invited these

young people to speak at “Stories from Wartime.” They are the first refugees to speak about their wartime experience during the program’s 22-year history.

“We’re broadening the focus.

We want to hear from more people who’ve been affected by some of these wars,” Matlock recently said.

“It broadens the dialogue and everyone’s understanding of a particular conflict.”

Taleen Dilanyan is an Iraqi woman who moved to Syria, where she joined the Iraqi Student Project, which helps war-displaced Iraqi students acquire undergraduate educations.

She soon met, and lived with, fellow Iraqis Rand Zalzala and Riyam AlKarkokliy.

All three immigrated to the United States during the past few years: Dilanyan to Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, to study chemistry and Italian, Zalzala to Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, to study architecture, and Al-Karkokliy

to Regis University to study business and accounting. Each woman has graduated and is working in her chosen field: Dilanyan and Zalzala in Boston; Al-Karkokliy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The fourth guest panelist, Hasan A, who preferred his last name not be used, is a Syrian immigrant who came to the United States with his family; he’s an International Studies junior at the University of Denver.

They spoke freely about their prewar childhoods, wartime dangers and survival, and their U.S. lives during the hour-long presentation moderated

by Rick Crandall of KEZW-AM that was open to the public.

Hasan’s family decided to immigrate to the United States from Aleppo, Syria, in 2012 “when the building next to us collapsed after it was shelled. That’s how (the decision) was made,” he said.

Zalzala recalled a happy childhood growing up in an apartment complex with lots of other children to play

with, but her parents sheltered her from the deprivations of sanctions imposed on Iraq by the U.N. Security Council after the country invaded Kuwait in 1990, and were enforced for more than a decade.

She referred to this time as “an invisible war,” and said Iraqis were “exhausted” when the sanctions were lifted in 2003.

“I still don’t know how my mom and dad raised us and how we managed to live,” said Al-Karkokliy, addressing the Iraqi sanctions. “We all finished our plates – no picky eaters.”

“Stories from Wartime,” sponsored

by Regis’ Center for the Study of War Experience, is offered every Tuesday at 6 p.m. through April 25 (with the exception of March 7 due to Spring Break) in room 212 of the Felix Pomponio Family Science Center on Regis University’s Northwest Denver Campus, 3333 Regis Blvd. It is free to the public.

Slam dunk champ helps raise daughter’s game

J

Mountain Vista senior Trent Schultz looks to make a possible takedown move during the 195-pound, Class 5A state championship match on Feb. 18 at the Pepsi Center. Schultz got a takedown in overtime and notched a 3-1 sudden victory decision over Cherokee Trail’s Zeke Silva. It was the second consecutive state championship for Schultz who was 40-0 this season.

Fired-up Vista wrestler claims crown Trent Schultz wins second consecutive state title

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mountain Vista senior Trent Schultz got slapped in the face and then went on to win the state championship.

Schultz was inadvertently smacked in the face early in the 195-pound title match against Cherokee Trail’s Zeke Silva when the two wrestlers were jockeying from the standing position.

“I hadn’t got mad all season but that really got to me,” Schultz said.

Neither Schultz nor Silva could manage a takedown until the aggres-

sive Schultz managed to shoot for a 2-point takedown less than a minute into the overtime to earn a 3-1 sudden victory.

It capped a 40-0 season for Schultz and marked his second consecutive state title.

“I was just doing my job,” he said.

“Being the number one seed and number one in the state, it’s my job to get it done.

“I hadn’t given up a takedown all season and I didn’t want to start in the state finals.”

Schultz and Mountain Vista coach Adam Bittler were confident heading into overtime.

“I don’t think he (Silva) understood how overtime works,” Schultz said.

“He was trying to win it right away.

You don’t have to win it right away, but he wanted to give it to me.”

Bittler was optimistic his wrestler would get it done.

“He was the superior wrestler,” he said. “We knew the Cherokee Trail kid would attempt a double leg to a throw to win. We knew he couldn’t beat Trent on the mat (top or bottom position).

“The longer the match went on, the more likely it was that Trent would win.”

Schultz topped all finishers from Highlands Ranch schools. His teammate, Preston Weaver, was sixth at 126 pounds. Senior Jack Huber of ThunderRidge took fifth at 182 pounds.

In Class 4A, Valor Christian had two wrestlers called to the podium.

Hunter Harrison, a 160-pound senior, was fourth while freshman Caden Moster was sixth at 120 pounds.

Trent Schultz, wrestling, senior, Mountain Vista: He completed a 40-0 season by winning his second straight 195-pound state wrestling title on Feb. 18 with a 3-1 victory over Zeke Silva of Cherokee Trail. His brother Cohl, a sophomore at Ponderosa, won his second consecutive 220-pound state title.

JT Bley, basketball, senior, Rock Canyon: He made a basket with 19.2 seconds

ason Richardson, the former Michigan State standout who played 14 seasons in the National Basketball Association, knows what it feels like to be in OVERTIME a pressure-packed basketball game.

However, he admits that stress as a player is nothing like the tension he feels when watching his daughter Jaela play high school basketball for Cherry Creek.

Jim Benton “There’s so much pressure watching her play,” said Richardson who has made his home in the Denver area for the past two years.

“No matter what your child does, you want your child to succeed. When she makes a turnover or misses a shot it’s like, `Oh man, come on.’ There’s definitely more pressure watching her.

“It’s definitely a lot of fun just watching where she came from to the player she is now. It’s fun seeing her out there being a young adult.”

Jaela Richardson played last season at Heritage High in Saginaw, Michigan, but a knee injury ended her season in February. She chose to join her father in Colorado and enrolled at Cherry Creek.

“I get a lot of advice from my Dad,” she said. “After every game, we watch film and go over not only what I’m doing, but what my teammates are doing. And what I can do better and we can do better as a team. I tell him, Dad if I did something, let me know. If the team did something, let me know, so we can make the team better.”

Jaela, a 6-foot junior who missed several games early this season while completing rehab from need surgery, is averaging 9.4 points and 8.1 rebounds a game for a Bruins team loaded with tall players.

“I’m trying to work more on becoming more of a guard,” she said. “There are plenty of opportunities with our offense that allow me to be on the perimeter, and I have to take advantage of it.”

Jason Richardson — the NBA slam dunk contest winner in 2002 and 2003 — knows it’s hard for his daughter to get the experience needed to play a perimeter position that she will likely have to play in college. In high school, good inside players are needed.

“It’s difficult for her to do that, but it’s part of the game she has to work on,” said Richardson, who at 6-6 played shooting guard and small forward for several NBA teams, retiring in 2015. “She has one more year. Last year was a wash — she was hurt and SEE BENTON, P29

Cherry Creek outscores Golden Eagles Bruins defeat Mountain Vista in league hockey game

Key players/statistics Lovato led the Bruins scoring with two goals while teammates Joe Whitmore, Bryan Cyrus and Garret Glaspy each scored a goal for Cherry Creek. Teammates Sam Harris, Harry Raabe, Danny Taggart and Joe Caputo each had an assist.

Ryan Bevan was in goal for Cherry Creek and made 19 saves. The Bruins put 30 shots on goal Kaden Stewart had a goal and an assist and Dylan Nurse scored a goal for Mountain Vista. Derek Nead, Josh Pusar and Andrew Best each had an assist. Golden Eagles goalie Brandon Sego made 25 saves and the team took 21 shots at the Bruins’ goal.

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherry Creek scored a goal about five minutes into the Feb. 16 conference hockey game and never relinquished the lead as the Bruins posted a 5-2 win over Mountain Vista.

“We have a high-intensity team with solid defensemen, fast-skating forwards, good leadership and probably the best team chemistry we have had in the four years I have been head coach,” Cherry Creek coach Jeff Mielnicki said. “The program is growing. The junior varsity is strong and players are battling for a spot on the varsity.

I think this program is doing Cherry Creek proud.”

Mountain Vista Coach Kevin Insana said he too has a solid team.

“We have good talent throughout our lineup,” he said. “I feel our strength is the play of our goalies. I am fortunate to have three junior goalies on our roster. This is my second year as head coach, teams are always different and I feel it is a huge plus for us that we have more depth now than we did last season.”

Cherry Creek goalie Ryan Bevan reaches out to make a glove save on a shot on goal from Mountain Vista during the Feb. 16 league hockey game at South Suburban Ice Arena. Bevan made 19 saves and his teammates provided the offense as the Bruins won the game, 5-2.

The Golden Eagles scored a power-play goal to make it 4-2 and Diego Lovato capped the scoring with an empty-net goal with five seconds left on the clock.

The Jefferson senior won the Class 3A championship at 132 pounds with an 8-3 decision over Brandon Damian of Valley at the Colorado State Wrestling Championships over the weekend.

“It was a physical game, we knew it would be and I think it was really a fun game,” he said.

He said he was happy he could score two goals for his team, including the empty netter near the end of the game.

“I was a little afraid when I got the puck and got ahead of the defender with an open net ahead of me,” he said. “That open net looked big and small at the same time. I just tried to focus on getting the puck and it did go in, thank goodness.”

“It was a great way to finish my career in high school,” Cisneros said. “I couldn’t ask to finish any other way.”

Jaguars take Continental League title Rock Canyon secures win over ThunderRidge in final seconds

Area schools garner high seeds in basketball tournaments

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rock Canyon, ranked sixth in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A basketball poll, needed somebody to step up.

It was 6-foot-6 senior JT Bley who made two game-deciding plays for Rock Canyon in crunch time as the host Jaguars won the Continental League boys basketball title with a 49-48 victory over top-ranked ThunderRidge on Feb. 17 in front of a capacity crowd.

Bley drove toward the basket and tossed in a running hook shot with 19.2 seconds remaining to push the Jaguars in front by the final margin.

“I’m a senior and I figured that I had to step up,” Bley said. “I went to my signature move, right hook, and it went in.”

But Rock Canyon missed two free throws with nine seconds on the clock, providing ThunderRidge with a chance to pull out the game.

Bley, however, came up big again as he drew a charging foul against the Grizzlies’ Kaison Hammonds, who made a running shot with 3.2 seconds showing on the clock but had the basket nullified by the charge.

Rock Canyon coach Kent Grams was hoarse after the game but his words were clear when talking about Bley.

“He’s been the foundation of who we are,” Grams said. “He’s a senior leader.

We needed a big play and he’s the one who made it. He took the charge at the end — huge plays, unbelievable plays.”

Rock Canyon, which suffered an upset 59-56 overtime loss to Highlands Ranch on Feb. 10, wrapped up the regular season with a 9-1 Continental League record and 20-3 overall mark.

ThunderRidge was also 9-1 in the league and 21-2 overall.

The Grizzlies had a 45-42 lead with four minutes left but tried to shorten the game by keeping control of the ball and working for good shots.

However, poor free throw shooting spoiled the strategy as ThunderRidge

Rock Canyon’s Jaylen Eikenberg puts up a shot as ThunderRidge’s Bailey Verk defends in the Jaguars’ 49-48 victory over ThunderRidge on Feb. 17.

PAUL DISALVO made only 5-of-14 free throw attempts in the fourth quarter. Rock Canyon wasn’t any better from the charity stripe in the final period, going 3-for-9.

“They made a play at the end and we missed free throws,” ThunderRidge coach Joe Ortiz said. “If we make free throws, we are going win by eight because they are going to shoot quick, then we go back to the free throw line, they shoot quick and we go back to the free throw line. We missed but we still got stops. We had opportunities.”

The game matched the league’s two top scorers in Rock Canyon’s Sam Masten and Corey Seng of ThunderRidge.

Masten came into the game with a 23.1 point-per-game average and Seng with

a 22.6 average.

Both players drew defensive attention and each scored 12 points in the game.

Masten had only two points in the second half but was still the Jaguars’ leading scorer.

Colin Rardin had 11 points for Rock Canyon, including five of the Jaguars 10 points in the fourth quarter. Bley finished with four points.

Ryan Holt paced ThunderRidge with 14 points. Justin McCaw, a junior transfer from Austria, had the defensive assignment on Masten and scored all of his six points in the fourth quarter.

Rock Canyon drew the fifth seed in the Class 5A state playoffs and will host the winner of the Boulder-Mullen game in a second-round contest Feb. 25.

“It’s a brand new season,” Grams said.

Despite the loss, Ortiz feels his team will be ready when No. 2 seed ThunderRidge entertains the Monarch-Liberty winner in a second-round playoff game on Feb. 25.

“In the 21 years I’ve been at ThunderRidge, we’ve only won our last game (regular season) twice,” Ortiz said. “So I know how it feels. We’ve been to the state finals six times and we know how to get there. I don’t know if we need any extra motivation. But the Rock Canyon loss was a wakeup call. The first thing I told them was this was not an elimination game.

“We lost to Creek last year at our place in a playoff game and that had never happened before. I’m never going to forget that.”

FILMS FROM PAGE 5

Low-budget filmmaking is preferred by Pimentel, who hopes the fewer visual distractions will make viewers think more about the character development and storytelling. He highlights themes of tragedy, revenge, turmoil and violence.

“My question to people is ‘Did you waste your time watching it?’ ” Pimentel said.

“Their response to me is often ‘it didn’t waste my time.’ “ Pimentel’s art director and set designer, Nick Winand, has worked on the past three feature films Pimentel has directed and produced.

“Making three feature films

FIRE

in three years for an independent producer is unheard of,” Winand said. “I think deep down, (Pimentel) is a very practical and technical director, but an artist at heart. He wants to do artistic pictures as opposed to entertainment pictures.”

Pimentel is not a full-time filmmaker; he works retail to support his wife and young son. He hopes to one day be fully supported by his passion and believes that art is too important to give up on.

“I’ve had so many people tell me that my kind of film and my kind of filmmaking is not what people want,” Pimentel said. “Don’t let anyone tell you no. You should make art with what you’ve got and get your story out there.”

DeLong, who was checking out at the grocery store when her daughter called, started trembling. The family rushed home. When police wouldn’t let the car through, she jumped out and ran to her daughter.

“I really think if the fence wasn’t here, it for sure would have” burned, she said of her home. “It’s so dry without the snow.”

She is thankful for the firefighters’ quick response and the safe outcome for her family and the neighborhood.

“I feel so blessed,” she said, “lucky that my family and my house are OK.” Colorado Community Media reporter Alex DeWind contributed to this report.
