Englewood should turn over its fire/rescue service to Denver Fire, said City Manager Eric Keck.

He thinks the city maintaining its own independent fire/rescue service is not an option. That leaves Englewood with two choices: contracting with either the Denver Fire Department or with South Metro Fire Rescue Authority.

“This is a thorny issue, but my

recommendation is Englewood contract with Denver Fire Department for fire/rescue services,” Keck said. “Contracting with Denver is the most viable economic alternative.

Contracting with Denver would save the city money that can be applied to a long list of capital improvement needs within Englewood.”

The city council and Keck urge residents and businesses to voice their opinions about the recommendation.

Residents can speak out about the issue during the public comment periods at the Feb. 2 city council meeting, can enter their opinions about the recommendation on a comment form on the city’s web site at www.englewoodgov.org or email comments to the members of

city council by sending the e-mail to council@englewoodgov.org.

Keck used a power point for his presentation. The current budget for the Englewood Fire Department is $9.1 million, he said, but there are no funds for an estimated $18.2 million in capital costs for renovation of stations and equipment replacement.

The proposed cost of contracting for fire/rescue services with Denver is about $4.7 million with additional costs of about $1.4 million for a total cost of about $6.1 million, he said.

Denver achieved the travel time goal from station to emergency site of about 4 minutes on 85.4 percent of the calls in December, he said.

In contrast, Englewood Fire Department achieved the travel time goal of 5 minutes, 12 seconds on

88.56 percent of the December calls for service, said Andy Marsh, Englewood Fire Chief.

Denver Health Services would provide emergency medical service, answering medical calls and transporting patients to Swedish Medical Center or the hospital of their choice. Response time is estimated at about 9 minutes, but Keck noted all Denver firefighters are paramedics so they will be on scene to begin treating the patient before the ambulance arrives.

The base cost to contract with South Metro Fire Rescue Authority is $6.4 million with additional costs and capital costs of about $12.8 million for a total cost of about $20.2 EFD continues on Page 4

El Tepehuan plans to move down road New location scheduled to open in early summer

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Jesus Corral promises that, while the name will be shorter and the space will be larger when El Tepehuan Restaurant and Steak House moves a few doors south in early summer, the quality of the service and food will remain unchanged He said the name has been confusing for some, so plans call for a new logo and a switch to the restaurant nickname, El Tep. The restaurant’s new home will be the former Saigon Palace Restaurant building that is about twice the size of the present location. The move will take the eatery from its current location at 3457 S. Broadway to 3495 S. Broadway.

Social-media effects examined

Seminar looks at reasons for, symptoms of Internet addiction

SIGNS, SYMPTOMS OF INTERNET ADDICTION

LOSING TRACK OF TIME ONLINE: Do you frequently find yourself on the

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com From “retweets” to “likes” and “shares,” how has social media and the Internet changed the way we measure our lives? And has that change led to negative and unintended consequences?

At a Jan. 15 seminar at the Douglas County Events Center titled “Social Media & Addiction,” Jim Baroffio, a psychologist, and Dennis Ballinger, a licensed counselor and program manager at the Arapahoe Douglas Mental Health Network, explored the idea of technology-related addiction.

The event was hosted by the Douglas County Prevention Work Group.

Baroffio spoke on what he described as the “techno self.”

“It’s basically an identity that is developed that is very specific to that means of technology,” Baoffio said.

According to Baoffio, the way we communicate, even down to the phrasing of the words and how long our attention span for a topic of conversation is, can be related to the platform we use to communicate — in this case social media.

A 2014 Pew Research Center study titled “Social Media Update 2014” found that 71 percent of American adults who are online use Facebook and 52 of adult users now use two or more social media sites.

Seventy percent of Facebook users post at least once per day, while 45 percent make multiple posts per day, according to the study.

And for the first time, more than half of all online adults ages 65 and older (56 percent) use Facebook. This represents 31 percent of all seniors.

“We communicate so much nonverbally.

How much of that do we lose in social media?” Baroffio said.

While use among adults has grown, Baroffio said his concern was for young people and children who may be so plugged in

Internet longer than you intended? Does a few minutes turn into a few hours? Do you get irritated or cranky if your online time is interrupted?

HAVING TROUBLE COMPLETING TASKS AT WORK OR HOME: Do you find laundry piling up and little food in the house for dinner because you’ve been busy online?

Perhaps you find yourself working late more often because you can’t complete your work on time — then staying even longer when everyone else has gone home so you can use the Internet freely?

ISOLATION FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS: Is your social life suffering because of all the time you spend online? Are you neglecting your family and friends? Do you feel like no one in your “real life”— even your spouse — understands you like your online friends?

that they fail to develop needed social skills.

Baroffio points to millennial behavior such as looking at a smartphone while trying to have a conversation with another person as an example of a missed social cue.

He said that the gap in social understanding may come from the fact that people of a certain age were either not born yet or don’t remember a time before the Internet and instant connectivity.

“Youth today don’t have that reference point, and I think there’s something very compelling there,” Baroffio said.

Is it simply a matter of altering social norms, or have our machines moved from important tools to addictive techno-drugs?

Ballinger sees these Internet-based escapes as creating more of a psychological compulsion or obsession than a physical addiction, for the most part.

“With something like video games, people get obsessed with them because it gives them a sense of mastery,” Ballinger said. “I found something I’m good at and I want to keep doing it.”

Ballinger said he would categorize some-

WHAT THE HAIL! - The Preferred Local Roofing Company for Many Insurance Companies, Hundreds of Agents, and Thousands of Coloradans - No Creepy Door Knockers - Free Inspections

thing sexual like a pornography addiction to be closer to a physical addiction like drugs.

“This is communication. Some aspects I’m concerned about, but in some ways we’re communicating more than we ever have,” Ballinger said. “Children are far more open than I think they’ve ever been. When we’re working with parents, I tell them `go online and read their Facebook. You’ll know everything about them because they document every minute of their day now.’”

Ballinger acknowledged that there are some serious concerns about the constant use of social platforms, such as cyberstalking and cyberbullying — a problem he said may in part be exacerbated by the fact that children who may be bullied at school no longer get a reprieve outside of it because of social media.

“They get bullied all day at school and then they come home and get bullied online all night and it just becomes a thing that they can never walk away from,” Ballinger said.

Ballinger said the best predictor of abuse is to look at how technology is affecting a child’s life.

FEELING GUILTY OR DEFENSIVE ABOUT YOUR INTERNET USE: Are you sick of your spouse nagging you to get off the computer or put your smartphone down and spend time together? Do you hide your Internet use or lie to your boss and family about the amount of time you spend on the computer or mobile devices and what you do while you’re online?

FEELING A SENSE OF EUPHORIA WHILE INVOLVED IN INTERNET ACTIVITIES: Do you use the Internet as an outlet when stressed or sad, or for sexual gratification or excitement? Have you tried to limit your Internet time but failed?

GETTING SOCIAL The percentage of online adults who used social media websites in 2014: Facebook: 71 percent Linkedin: 28 percent Pinterest: 28 percent Instagram: 26 percent Twitter: 23 percent Source: Pew Research Center

“If you have a kid that’s doing really well in school, who is involved in social activities, they’re having meaningful relationships with others, but they spend a lot of time on the Internet or playing games — I look at that more as a personal choice than something that is impacting their life negatively,” Ballinger said. “If you have a kid that doesn’t brush their teeth or doesn’t want to go to school and just wants to spend all day playing video games and not interacting with others, then that’s concerning.”

Hickenlooper hones in on economy Workforce development, funding education key to supporting middle class, he says

By Amy Woodward

awoodward@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper delivered his annual State of the State address Jan. 15 during a joint session of the General Assembly, commending the state’s booming business sector and encouraging bipartisanship.

“The state of our state is strong,” Hickenlooper said. “According to almost every national ranking, Colorado is now one of the top states for business climate and job growth.”

Hickenlooper credits the state’s economic success to collaboration between state and local economic development developers. Pointing to the state’s economic development strategy to recruit talents and lure companies to Colorado from across the nation, Hickenlooper highlighted companies such as Panasonic, Cool Planet Energy Systems and Arrow Electronics as prime contributors to the state’s economic successes through job creation.

Helping companies like Lockheed Martin, Charles Schwab and Woodward to grow has also added to the state’s growing job market, Hickenlooper said.

Supporting the middle class and Colorado’s rural areas, where unemployment remains high, through workforce development will be met with an effort to jumpstart Hickenlooper’s economic plan in what he called Colorado Blueprint 2.0 from the Office of Economic Development and International Trade.

“The team will again be visiting all 14 regions of the state soliciting a vision for economic development starting with the counties where employment is most lagging. Counties like Otero, Costilla, San Miguel, and Huerfano,” Hickenlooper said. “Our challenge is to make sure economic prosperity reaches every household in all 64 counties.”

The governor spoke briefly about his frustrations with TABOR but gave little guidance as to how the Legislature should navigate taxing and spending conflicts.

“Amendment 23 demands more new money than we can possibly expect to have two years from now,” Hickenlooper said.

“If we do nothing, if we pretend the future will take care of itself, and we’re back here in two years facing what was clearly an avoidable crisis, history will show that we failed future generations of Coloradans.”

While the state must continue to support workforce development, funding education must part be part of business growth, the governor said. Hickenlooper’s budget proposal includes a $200 million addition to the state education fund as a one-time increase for school districts. He supports continued assessments in English and math for high school students but said that easing testing demands on seniors in social studies and science “might be among the right answers.”

“Beyond questions of funding, we need to confront the truth about whether Colorado’s kids are getting the education they need to compete and succeed in the job market,” Hickenlooper said.

The governor said he looks forward to the recommendations from the oil and gas task force appointed last year.

Lawmakers mull limits on drone surveillance Colorado could join other states in setting rules

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

Colorado lawmakers are considering regulating the use of drones, citing privacy concerns as they look to join at least 20 other states that have set limits.

A bill pending in the Colorado Senate would require law enforcement to have a warrant before using a drone, formally called an “unmanned aerial vehicle,’’ unless there is imminent threat to life or risk of a terrorist attack.

The measure would also set new limits for private citizens using drones, such as limiting their use to daylight hours and within the operator’s sight, up to three miles.

“The intention is to protect the privacy of people with this new technology that is around us,’’ said the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton.

“We love new technology ... (but) we want to make sure that those who might have ill intent would be held account-

But he did not speak on construction-defects laws, one of the more publically anticipated reactions from the General Assembly this year.

“I was surprised that construction-defects reforms was not mentioned, that is a real problem with Colorado and it has been discussed for several years here in the legislature,” said Rep. Kevin Van Winkle, R-Highlands Ranch. “I was hoping he would become a champion on the issue.”

Bills related to construction-defects laws remain to be seen this session but Sen. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, said he expects measures regarding the issue to come from Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Westminster, and Sen. Mark Scheffel, RParker.

“I am very confident that is going to get through the Senate, where there seems to be strong bipartisan support there,” Sen. Holbert said.

The governor encouraged bipartisanship in a split Legislature that hasn’t been seen in 10 years.

“Now is when we must come together to address these issues,” Hickenlooper said. “We don’t need to throw knives, just the political courage to face the facts and do some real math.”

It’s a message the governor routinely gives, said Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge.

“In his speech, what I heard is what I we’ve heard so many times from him — it’s a lot of collaboration and people working together,” Jahn said. “He hit on the big things that really are important to everyone in the state.

“People can say he kicks the can down the road, I don’t see it that way.”

able.’’

Newell has Republican support for her proposal, with two GOP senators signing on as co-sponsors.

The Republicans call the proposal a needed check on government surveillance.

“Drones are becoming increasingly available at every level, and Newell when it comes to government use, it needs to stay within the Fourth Amendment,’’ which guards against unreasonable search and seizure, said Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud.

But the drone proposal won’t be an easy sell to all. Law enforcement agencies haven’t said whether they support or oppose the measure, but in closed-door meetings last week, sponsors agreed to make some changes. The measure hasn’t yet been scheduled for a hearing, and there may be a rival drone proposal introduced in the House.

Law enforcement wants to make sure the measure doesn’t go too far and strip them of their ability to use drones to as-

sist in things like accident recovery and disaster response.

For example, Mesa County sheriffs’ officers used drones last spring to assess damage from a May mudslide that killed three people. Drones can be used to watch for wildfires, or to check for victims in mountainous rescue missions where human rescuers may struggle.

Many applications for drone use don’t have anything to do with criminal investigations, said Chris Johnson, head of the County Sheriffs of Colorado.

“I don’t particularly like the term `surveillance,’ because that isn’t mainly what they’re used for,’’ he said.

At least 20 states regulate drones and how law enforcement and the public can use them. Federal regulation is also expected from the Federal Aviation Administration, Johnson said.

Another sponsor of the measure, Democratic Sen. Lucia Guzman of Denver, said it’s time Colorado had some rules on drone use.

“Whether it’s the police or the FBI or my parents checking on me without my knowing it, I want to know my privacy is protected,’’ she said.

CRIME REPORT Man assaulted, robbed

A 31-year-old man told police when he took some money out of his pocket he was attacked and robbed.

Police were called to the 800 block of West Hampden Avenue about 3:50 p.m. Jan. 2 to investigate a reported assault.

The officers talked to the 31-year-old victim, who told them he got robbed when he sought to help a man who asked him for a dollar.

The victim said a man asked him for a dollar. The 31-year-old said when he took some money out of his pocket, the suspect punched him, knocked him to the ground, grabbed the victim’s money and ran away.

The attacker was describes at being about 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 120 to 130 pounds. He was wearing a brown coat and black baseball cap.

Officers searched the area but didn’t find anyone matching the suspect’s description.

Bus driver attacked

Englewood police located a man who is suspected of punching and kicking the driver of a Regional Transportation District bus.

The attack happened about 8:50 a.m. Jan. 3 near the intersection of East Hampden Avenue and South Downing Street.

The 61-year-old bus driver said a man got on the bus and refused to pay the fare. He said, when he tried to stop the man, the suspect punched and kicked the driver.

Reportedly, the suspect grabbed a stack of bus transfers and punched out a window before getting off the bus.

Officers searched the area and stopped the suspect, a 17-year-old man. After a brief struggle, the man was arrested, processed and later taken to the Arapahoe County Juvenile Assessment Center. The 17-year-old could face a number of felony charges.

Officers assist task force

Englewood police officers assisted members of the East Metro Auto Task Force on an investigation that resulted in the arrest of a suspect in a number of crimes.

The task force investigation happened about 4 p.m.

Jan. 7 in the 3800 block of South Broadway.

Officers talked to the 49-year-old suspect in the case of a stolen vehicle out of Arkansas. During the process, team investigators also located eight stolen firearms reportedly associated with the suspect.

In addition, a woman is suspected of being involved in an armed robbery that happened in Denver earlier in the day.

The woman was arrested and turned over to Denver Police Department officers for further investigation.

began serving Mexican food as well as steaks,” said Corral, family member and move adviser. “Since Dad opened the doors, the restaurant served large portions of tasty Mexican food at a reasonable price. That won’t change. While we are moving, we will make sure what comes out of the new kitchen is the same quality as the food that comes out of our kitchen today.”

Darren Hollingsworth, Englewood’s economic development coordinator, said he is excited about the plans for El Tepehuan, an iconic business in the community.

“We are seeing a longtime Englewood business staying in the city as it moves in order to grow,” he said.

“The restaurant will be taking up a high-profile space that is now empty, and that is good for our city.”

Hollingsworth said he and other staff members are working with the owner of the current El Tepehuan location to find a tenant for the space.

“The El Tepehuan location is a

Board reconsiders charter request Englewood begins state-ordered charter application review process

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com As ordered, representatives of Englewood Schools and TriCity Academy will meet, seeking to resolve the issues that led the school board to reject the academy’s charter school application.

The discussion is a result of the Jan. 7 Colorado School Board’s rejection of denial of the academy charter school application by the Englewood School Board and the Sheridan School Board.

If either or both school boards approve the application, the academy will be entitled to establish the charter school within the school district boundaries. However, if the either or both school boards reject the application, the academy can appeal the rejection, and the issue will once again be brought before the Colorado Board of Education. If there is an appeal and the state board disapproves a district’s rejection, that district then must issue a charter for TriCity Academy.

It was standing room only for the Jan. 7 charter appeals hearing before the state board of education.

Both sides had previously submitted briefs to the board so, at the Jan. 7 meeting, each party was given 30 minutes for oral presentations.

There were some questions from the board members before they voted,, a 5-2 tall to uphold TriCity’s appeal.

Members Val Flores and Jane Goff voted to uphold Englewood’s charter denial. Members Pam Mazanee, Steve Duhram, Angelika Schroeder, Marcia Neal and Debora Scheffel voted to reject the denial and order the district to reconsider the application.

Schroeder voted to reject the Englewood district charter denial because of the rejection of the Sheridan School District’s denial of the charter application, she said.

The state board rejection of the academy application includes the local district reconsider the charter application.

“The school board had 30 days to reconsider the application. As part of the requirement to reconsider the application, the state board requires our district to meet with academy representatives primarily focusing on four areas,” said Brian Ewert, Englewood school super-

vibrant site with good visibility and it is located next to the paseo in the middle of the 3400 block of South Broadway, so it should be an attractive location for another restaurant tenant,” he said.

Corral said the idea of moving started about a year ago.

“My mom, Graciela, has run the restaurant since my dad was killed in an auto accident in 1986, and during a phone conversation she said the Saigon Palace location was going to be sold,” Corral said. “I was in law school at Georgetown, I came back on a visit and made contact with the owner of the building at 3495 S. Broadway, and eventually we completed the purchase in June.”

He said his mother wants to retire and he told her the family could continue to own the business while hiring someone to operate it as the Corrals want it to operate.

“We hired Brett Daughtry to be restaurant manager,” Jesus said. “He is a chef and knows the restaurant business. He runs the day-to-day operation. But the number one rule is there will be no changes to the food that our customers have loved for almost 40 years.”

Corral said the new building is

about twice the size of the current location.

“We will be able to seat about twice as many people, plus the kitchen will be designed to accommodate our restaurant,” he said.

“We relied on Brett to help us design an efficient kitchen. I didn’t have a clue about equipment or the best kitchen layout. But Brett came to the new location and told us what equipment would work best for us and where it should be placed to set up the most efficient kitchen possible.”

Daughtry said he helped plan the layout for the kitchen so it would work best for the staff.

“We have a bold idea for the new location and we are looking to transform that vision into reality,” the chef and manager said. “The layout is important because we want the kitchen to continue serving the best Mexican food in the area. At the same time, we want the operation to be efficient and for the restaurant atmosphere to be inviting so our customers have an enjoyable and tasty dining experience.”

Corral said the goal is to be open by early summer.

There was no information presented about South Metro travel time from station to site.

intendent. “We are working with the academy representatives to set up a preliminary meeting and, if needed, to schedule da follow-up meeting before the school board takes formal action on the application reconsideration.”

The state board’s decision was that the Englewood School Board’s decision on the charter application was contrary to the best interests of the students, school district or community, according to the state document on the meeting.

Rick Gillit, charter school applicant, was obviously pleased by the board’s decision.

“The board supported our position,” he said after the hearing. “We know both school boards will again review our applications. I understand it is rare that a school board will again deny a charter after the state board upholds an appeal.”

The academy submitted the application to establish a charter school in both school districts, Gillit said. The academy would prefer to locate the school in Englewood, but, regardless of where the school is located, he expects it to primarily serve children of residents of Englewood, Sheridan and Littleton.

Englewood will follow the rules, Ewert said.

“We will again consider the TriCity Academy applications,” he said. “We are not against charter schools, we are not against choice, but we are about school quality so that is a measure in our decision.”

The state board document directed the Englewood School District and TriCity Academy representatives meet to reach agreement on a plan to ensure a smooth start for the academy to open in August 2015, to reach agreement to plan to promote awareness, understanding and support in the community for the opening of the academy.

In addition, the representatives were to seek agreement on a plan to address academy budget concerns raised by the school district, especially concerning securing the facility for the charter school and to address projected attendance and enrollment concerns raised by the school district, including providing adequate evidence of projected attendance.

Tentative plans are to hold the discussions in the near future, and the Englewood School Board to reconsider the academy charter application as one of the agenda items for the Feb. 3 board meeting, Ewert said.

The Feb. 3 board meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. in the venue facility at the Englewood Campus, 3800 S. Logan St. The board meeting is open to the public.

Our restaurant had a long list of loyal customers. The new location will be different, but much will be the same, and we hope our loyal customers will continue to come to the restaurant to enjoy the food we prepare.”

He said the move is just another

increase. If Englewood sought a property tax increase, the request would be for about $33 million with the other funds going to modernize and upgrade Englewood Police Department facilities and equipment, he said.

The city manager suggested the city council review the data in his presentation and the recommendations, gather comments from residents and businesses so they can address the issue at the Feb. 9 study session.

“If it is the consensus of the majority of the members of city council, we can move forward with contract negotiations,” Keck said. “Formal action on the proposal would come later when the council votes on the ordinances containing all the contract details.”

Council members voiced different opinions about the recommendation. Mayor Randy Penn generally supports the recommendation but must wait to hear from residents and businesses before reaching a final decision, he said.

The majority of residents of Council-

of the changes happening in Englewood.

“Instead of Mom retiring and selling the restaurant, we decided to move forward into the future with Englewood,” he said.

The goal, he said, is to “change and make sure we are still a strong presence in the community” while keeping the customers the restaurant his built up over the years.

member Rick Gillit’s district wants Englewood to retain an independent fire department, he said. About 300 residents of his district signed a petition opposing contracting with South Metro Fire Authority, he said.

The recommendation appears to be economically driven, Englewood resident Bob Stephenson said.

“I think the council will have to decide the issue depending whether or not those in the city are willing to pay higher taxes to retain an independent department,” he said after the meeting. “The council has a tough decision, and they must weigh all aspects of the issue.”

Kevin Ebert has listened to the discussion on this issue for about two years, and there needs to be a decision, he said.

“Personally, I am not willing for the city to give up control of fire/rescue services,” the Englewood man said. “Englewood Fire Department is part of the city. I have a problem with an outside agency providing fire and rescue services to Englewood residents.”

Man found guilty in Littleton officer’s death Jemal Dawed convicted of vehicular homicide for 2013 incident that killed Kevin Denner

‘There is no appropriate time to drive drunk on our roads.’

District Attorney George Brauchler

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The friends and family of fallen Littleton police officer Kevin Denner feel justice was served when an Arapahoe County jury found the man who ran over him guilty of vehicular homicide on Jan. 16.

The evidence showed that Jemal Abdelkader Dawed, 39, was drunk, lost and talking on his cell phone on May 5, 2013, while driving east on East Belleview Avenue in Aurora at 11:30 in the morning. Denner was riding Dawed his Harley Davidson westbound when Dawed made a left turn in front of him, and Denner laid the bike down in an attempt to avoid the Aurora man’s Toyota Solara.

What happened next was difficult for Denner’s many friends, fellow officers and widow, Kristin, to listen to as they observed closing arguments from the gallery.

“The defendant never braked, ran over the victim with studded snow tires and dragged him 21 feet away from the area of impact,” according a news release from the prosecution. “The defendant’s

car was found half of a block north of the intersection.”

Julie Anderson was there, just passing by, when it happened. At his funeral, she told the hundreds of mourners that Denner died peacefully, with no fear on his face.

“We all wanted and waited for a miracle, but none was to come,” she said as law-enforcement officers stood vigil over Denner’s casket, draped in the American flag, and most of the Littleton Police Department looked on.

Video from the crime scene, recorded by an Aurora police officer’s body camera, shows Dawed admitting, while laughing, to drinking three beers. Tests indicate his blood alcohol level was about 0.13 at the time of the crash.

“There is no appropriate time to drive drunk on our roads,” said District Attorney George Brauchler, who was in the courtroom to observe the closing arguments. “Jemal Dawed’s decision to drive well in excess of Colorado’s legal limit led him to rob us of a dedicated law enforcement officer and a loving husband and father. While those things can never be made right again, the jury today gave some modicum of justice to a grieving

widow by assigning responsibility for her husband’s untimely death to the drunk driver - the person who put his interest in driving ahead of the safety of those on the road with him. We must aggressively attack drunk driving in Colorado.”

Dawed’s attorney, Wazir-Ali Muhammad Al-Haqq, used a “popcorn defense” in an attempt to instill reasonable doubt in the jurors’ minds. He stuck sandwich bags of popcorn in various states of doneness to a piece of cardboard, comparing the kernels that refused to pop, the ones left over once the bowl is empty, to unanswered questions that lead to hesitation.

Al-Haqq also disputed an expert’s video made to re-enact the accident based on the evidence at the scene.

“Make sure you separate what is imaginary mythology that is created by somebody’s mind that wasn’t there, put it somewhere, but not as evidence,” he said. “Animation is not fact. If that were true, every Disney movie would be fact.”

Apologizing for his “dramatism,” AlHaqq then threw himself on the floor in front of the jury, in the way he said Denner threw himself in front of Dawed.

“Nobody could expect him to do what

United Launch Alliance Concludes Banner Year After 14 successful launches, major milestones in 2014, ULA sets its sights on 2015 Centennial, Colo., (Dec. 29, 2014) – United Launch Alliance, the nation’s premier space launch provider, congratulates its employees, suppliers and customers on another successful year, reliably and affordably launching 14 satellites to orbit with 100 percent mission success.

“What ULA has accomplished this year, in support of our customers’ missions, is nothing short of remarkable,” said ULA CEO Tory Bruno. “When you think about every detail – all of the science, all of the planning, all of the resources – that goes into a single launch, it is hard to believe that we successfully did it at a rate of about once a month, sometimes twice.”

This year, ULA’s 14-mission manifest spanned: • 9 national security space missions, including four Global Positioning System satellites for the U.S. Air Force • 3 space exploration missions, including NASA’s first Exploration Flight Test for Lockheed Martin’s Orion spacecraft • 2 commercial missions, including DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-3, which provides the latest Earth imaging capabilities

Other major accomplishments in 2014 included: • The 51st successful launch of the Delta II • The 50th successful launch of the Atlas V • The 25th successful launch of the Delta IV • Twice successfully launching two different missions from two different coasts in one week • ULA’s 90th successful launch, an unmatched record of success “This year we were reminded just how hard rocket science can be,” said Bruno. “It takes a special group of people to be in this business, and I am truly humbled to work among dedicated individuals who have exhibited a total focus on precision, a passion for the science of rocketry and space, and a deep commitment to our purpose.”

This year also marked the start of the five-year contract between United Launch Alliance and the Air Force, a best-practice, multi-year acquisition process that will save the government $4.4 billion, ensure significant operations efficiencies, and create the needed stability and predictability in the supplier and industrial base, while meeting national security space requirements.

Additionally, this year ULA partnered

with Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin to develop a new domestic engine, an all-American rocket engine that will power ULA’s nextgeneration vehicles. The new engine, the BE-4, will lower the cost of launches and will meet both commercial requirements and those of the U.S. Air Force’s Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program.

Also this year, ULA and its partner, The Boeing Company, were selected to support NASA’s Commercial Crew program, sending critical cargo and the next generation of astronauts to the International Space Station. As America’s ride to space, ULA will launch Boeing’s manned CST-100 spacecraft by 2017, playing a pivotal role in advancement of human spaceflight.

“It goes without saying: ULA had a banner year,” Bruno said. “As we look ahead to 2015, we could not be more honored to continue supporting our nation in one of the most technologically complex, critical American needs: affordable, reliable access to space.”

For more information on ULA, visit the ULA website at www.ulalaunch.com

he did,” he said. “Mr. Dawed was not part of it.”

Prosecutor Brittany Martin reminded the jurors they were in a courtroom, not a movie theater. “(Denner) did what he could to save his own life, to try to avoid the drunk, distracted driver,” she said.

Prosector Jake Adkins stressed that he didn’t have to prove Dawed intended to kill Denner to satisfy the vehicular-homicide charges.

“Maybe the best evidence we have that the defendant was incapable of operating the vehicle in a safe manner is that he did not do so,” he said.

At the end of her argument, Martin showed the jury, who wasn’t told Denner was a police officer, a photo of him in street clothes. His wife, his partner, LPD Officer Krista Bunten, and even one of the jurors couldn’t hold back tears.

“Officer Kevin Denner was our friend,” wrote the Littleton Police Officers Association in a column for the Littleton Independent after his death. “He was the gentlest of souls with the strongest of convictions. He was big and Denner strong, but soft at heart, never having an unkind word to say about anyone.”

The jury took less than three hours to make its decision. Dawed, who had been out on $50,000 bond since being arrested at the scene two years ago, was immediately taken into custody. Sentencing is scheduled for 3 p.m. March 31.

Park forces rezone for halfway house Board can’t set gender rules, city attorney says

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com A small park planned by South Suburban Parks and Recreation is necessitating a zoning change for a halfway house for women on Chenango Avenue, spurring a discussion about gender discrimination during the Jan. 12 Littleton Planning Board meeting.

SSPR has long planned to create an activity center on the Murray Open Space site, which was previously a junkyard.

“We wanted to design a visitor experience that would connect people to nature,” said Emily Patterson of the Trust for Public Lands upon presenting her recommendations to Littleton City Council in 2012.

The site is tucked between the Littleton Fire Rescue training center and the South Platte River, just northwest of Santa Fe Drive

and Belleview Avenue. Arapahoe County Residential Center, which houses an average of 97 female convicts transitioning out of prison, is immediately to the east.

The area, zoned light industrial, is also home to the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley, Lowe’s, Corbett’s Auction House and a variety of small businesses.

According to Littleton’s zoning code, no correctional facility can be located within 500 feet of parks, residences, schools or daycare centers. But SSPR’s plan calls for a place families will enjoy, incorporating things like log balance beams, natural-art stations and educational kiosks.

“This is the first time it’s ever happened, and there’s no way to deal with it in the charter,” said Jan Dickinson, senior planner.

The solution they came up with is to rezone ACRC from light industrial to planned development industrial. Nothing about the site will change, it would just allow the center to stay in the location where it’s been since 2005.

“It’s a comfortable living situation in a secure environment for those ladies who live

there,” said Dickinson.

But some members of the planning board wanted to ensure the facility remains open only to women by including language to that effect in the ordinance, as it had been historically.

“It may be sexist for me to say, but I’m more comfortable with it being all female,” said board member Mark Rudnicki.

City Attorney Kristin Schledorn had advised removing the language, noting that federal law prohibits gender discrimination in housing.

Rudnicki asked if the prior zoning had, in fact, been in violation of the law.

“I’d prefer not to speak to that on the record,” said Schledorn.

Regardless, Rudnicki tried to amend the board’s recommendation to council to ban men from the facility, and board member Carrie Moore agreed.

“Whether it’s fair or not, men are more intimidating,” she said.

Board member Curt Samuelson took a more practical approach, calling the discus-

sion a waste of time.

“City council is just going to vote straight across the board to leave it,” he said.

ACRC’s director assured the board there are no plans to allow men into the facility.

“We’ve been a female facility for several years, and we have no intentions of changing that,” said Angie Riffel.

The Murray Open Space project is supposed to cost about $375,000. It has a well that could be used to water a proposed tree nursery, said Patterson, and a bridge will connect it to Big Dry Creek.

Dave Lorenz, executive director of South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, has said the restoration will likely be funded through a joint venture among various entities, as was the purchase.

He said in a letter to the planning board that SSPR supports the rezone and the continued presence of ACRC at that location.

The 5-2 vote sends the rezone on to city council for final approval after a public hearing.

Experts don’t see Holmes ever going free Finding of insanity unlikely to mean release in future

By Dan Elliott and Solomon Banda Associated Press

If James Holmes is found not guilty by reason of insanity in the Colorado theater massacre, he would be committed indefinitely to the state mental hospital and could — in theory, at least — be released someday.

But psychiatrists and attorneys say that’s highly unlikely, given the enormity of the shootings and the notoriety they have generated.

“He doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of ever walking off the grounds of the Colorado state hospital,’’ said Dr. Steven Pitt, a forensic psychiatrist based in Scottsdale, Arizona, who works on criminal cases but is not involved in the Holmes case.

Jury selection starts this week for Holmes, who is charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder in the July 20, 2012, shootings at an Aurora movie theater. Twelve people were killed and 70 were injured. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. His attorneys have acknowledged he was the gunman but say he is mentally

ill and was gripped by a psychotic episode when he opened fire on a theater where more than 400 people were watching a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises.’’

Colorado law defines insanity as the inability to know right from wrong because of a mental illness or defect. The jury will make that determination based on evidence presented at the trial, including two court-ordered sanity evaluations at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo.

The law sets no minimum time that people must remain in the state hospital after being found not guilty by reason of insanity, except to say they can’t ask for a release hearing in the first 180 days.

Patients who show progress can be granted a measure of independence, ranging from supervised movement around the hospital grounds through off-campus visits to unconditional release.

To qualify for unconditional release, Holmes would have to convince the hospital and the courts that he is no longer a threat to the public for the reasonably foreseeable future — the standard for release set by Colorado law.

That would be a tough case for Holmes to make, said Karen Steinhauser, a former Denver prosecutor who is now a defense attorney.

State records show the vast majority of people granted off-hospital-grounds privileges after being found not guilty of murder

because of insanity were charged with killing someone they knew, usually a family member. Although the available court records are often sketchy, in some cases the insanity defendants believed the victim was somehow tormenting them.

Holmes, by contrast, is charged with a brutal attack on complete strangers.

“The issue is going to be, how do we know that this person no longer has that type of mental disorder that could cause him to go to a different place, to a differHolmes ent community, to a different area and do the same thing?’’ said Steinhauser, who isn’t involved in the Holmes case.

It would be nearly impossible for Holmes to convince a judge he was no longer a danger to himself or others, she said.

Pitt, the forensic psychiatrist, said it is theoretically possible that treatment by psychiatrists could put Holmes’ mental illness into remission and render him no longer a danger.

“Theoretically, is that possible? Absolutely,’’ he said.

“From a social policy perspective, given the enormity and the gravity of the offenses ... there will be such an uproar that I just can’t realistically ever see that happening in the foreseeable future,’’ Pitt said.

John Hinckley, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the 1981 shootings of President Ronald Reagan and three others, has been committed to a psychiatric hospital for 32 years. Hospital officials have said his mental illness has been in remission for decades, and he spends more than half of each month at his mother’s home.

Dr. Patrick Fox, a deputy director of the Office of Behavioral Health in the Colorado Department of Human Services, which oversees the state mental hospital, acknowledged that social and political factors as well as the notoriety of a crime can sometimes play a significant role in decisions about an insanity defendant.

“The decision to release an insanity acquittee is a partly clinical process. It’s partly a socio-political process,’’ Fox said. He declined to discuss Holmes’ case in particular, citing privacy issues.

The district attorney’s office that handled the original case can argue against such privileges before the judge decides, and prosecutors would certainly argue strongly against any freedoms for Holmes, Pitt said.

“For generations to come, he will see objection after objection after objection to this man receiving anything that people sense is remotely close to a sense of freedom,’’ Pitt said.

Marijuana health research skimpy, doctors conclude Use during pregnancy takes shape as hot topic

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

A year after legalizing recreational pot sales, Colorado has more questions than answers about the health effects of legal marijuana.

A panel of doctors concluded months of meetings last week about the health effects of marijuana and how people are using it.

Instead of reaching many conclusions, though, the doctors agreed the bulk of their

recommendations should be calls for more research on the drug.

For example, the doctors looked at research on maternal pot use, or whether marijuana use by pregnant or nursing women affects their children.

They concluded there is “mixed evidence’’ that marijuana use by pregnant women results in birth defects. But their recommendation calls only for better education and surveys to find out more about maternal pot use, not a ban on selling pot to pregnant women.

The head of the physician panel, Mike Van Dyke of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said the

OBITUARIES RAMSEY

Frances “Scampy” Ramsey Nov. 19, 1929 – Jan 9, 2015

Frances “Scampy” Ramsey, 85, of Ashland, Illinois died January 9, 2015 in a hospital in Colorado. She traveled to Colorado to spend the holidays with her daughters and their families.

She was born November 19, 1929 in Petersburg, daughter of Marguerite and John Rebbe Sr. She was the eighth of 15 children in the family. She married Wayne Ramsey in 1954 in Petersburg.

Scampy was active in politics and once served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention. She owned and operated Baskin Robbins stores for more than 25 years in Colorado.

She was an excellent cook, baker and cake decorator.

She loved to spend time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren and was known for her infectious laugh. Following her husband’s death, she moved back to Illinois to be closer to her birthplace and family. She enjoyed family events and playing cards.

She attended St. Augustine Catholic Church in Ashland.

She was preceded in death by her husband, parents as well as her siblings Margaret, Kathryn, John, Joseph, James, Philip, Mary Lita,

Daniel, Paul and Ronald.

doctors wanted to be careful not to call for health restrictions in light of extremely limited data on marijuana’s health effects.

“We’re a year into it. We don’t have the answers yet,’’ Van Dyke said. “We don’t know what the health effects of legalization are.’’

The panel included pediatricians, toxicologists and an addiction psychiatrist.

Among the gaps the doctors identified was pot use by adults. Doctors have years of survey data on how schoolchildren use drugs including pot, but not much on how adults use pot.

Dr. Laura Borgelt, a pharmacologist at the University of Colorado-Denver, pointed out that there’s little known about adults aged 18 to 25, people old enough to be out of the house but young enough to be trying pot for the first time.

“I don’t know that those questions have been asked of that age group,’’ Borgelt said.

The panel also plans to ask for a study about the health effects of marijuana use by skiers, or whether pot use increases ski ac-

cidents. It’s a topic of interest in Colorado.

The doctors will send their recommendations to lawmakers by Jan. 31. Despite the scanty data, some lawmakers aren’t waiting to suggest new curbs on marijuana use for health reasons Rep. Jack Tate, R-Centennial, has suggested a bill requiring pot shops to post warnings about marijuana use by pregnant women, and to ban doctors from recommending medical marijuana to pregnant women. That measure awaits its first hearing.

The physician panel plans to keep working, meeting quarterly to review health data and new studies about marijuana.

Colorado recently approved almost $8 million for medical marijuana research, with the money coming from medical marijuana patient fees, but doctors agreed much more research is needed.

“If we do nothing else, we need to make clear how much more research is needed,’’ Van Dyke said.

Repeal on guns laws introduced Bills aim to reverse criminal background checks, large ammo cap

By Amy Woodward

awoodward @coloradocommunitymedia.com In the first batch of proposed bills for the legislative session, Republicans wasted little time introducing repeals on state gun laws.

Two separate measures were introduced in the state House, including House Bill 1050 and HB 1009.

HB 1050 proposes to repeal the state’s requirement for criminal background checks concerning private gun transfers from unlicensed gun dealers.

The bill banishes the requirement for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to impose a fee for the instant criminal background check, which is $10, although the fee may be adjusted in the future.

The bill is sponsored by Rep. Janak Joshi, RColorado Springs, and co-sponsored by newly elected Sen. Laura Woods, R-Arvada.

“We’re basically taxing the Second Amendment,” Woods said. “It doesn’t keep guns out of the hands of bad guys and you look at gunfree zones — Chicago, Paris — you’ll see that gun laws do not prevent bad people from getting guns because by definition bad people don’t care what the laws are and they get guns anyway.”

The state Legislature approved expanding background checks for gun purchases in 2013, along with the 15-round limit on ammunition magazines. Through HB 1009, Republicans

are looking to reverse the ban on larger ammunition magazines.

Rep. Patrick Neville, R-Franktown, is helping to sponsor HB 1009 and said the original bill to ban large ammunition magazines is not enforceable.

The gun laws in general, including the required criminal background check, is more about gun control than public safety, he said.

“I don’t even think it’s really enforceable in the first place, and that’s usually one of the initial goals of the gun-control agenda is to have a registration so they can identify, and that’s what this is attempting to do over a period of years is create that universal registration,” Neville said. “Responsible gun ownership comes from the people, not the government.”

Both bills have been assigned to the State, Veterans, and Military Affairs committee in the House.

“About 80 percent of the people in Colorado support the background checks,” said Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, who sits on State, Veterans and Military Affairs committee.

“This has definitely been a good tool for public safety,” he said, citing CBI’s 2014 data that reported 285 people were denied guns through private purchases due to criminal history.

Dave Hoover, Lakewood resident and member of Everytown for Gun Safety, a national organization that works to end gun violence, said the attempts to reverse the state’s gun laws are a “slap in the face.”

“It’s just an insult,” said Hoover, who lost his nephew in the Aurora movie theater shooting of July 2012. “These laws hold people accountable. And for our politicians not to understand — it astounds me that they don’t get it.”

The show could be juvenile at times too.

Whenever Letterman said “Dick Cheney,” band member Will Lee howled. Chris Eliot lived under the stairs. There were a lot of Stupid Pet Tricks.

The nightly Top Ten List began because Letterman thought that People magazine’s top 10 lists were annoying.

The cards he threw behind him shattered invisible glass, and then I heard 13 seconds of José Feliciano’s “Old Turkey Buzzard.”

He used to go into the audience, and he used to do remote bits. The silliness subsided as he grew older, and especially after heart surgery.

When Letterman pointed to Paul after the monologue, the band ripped into “You Really Got Me.” Or “25 or 6 to 4.” Or “In the Midnight Hour.”

Jennifer and I were looking around for something to watch on New Year’s Eve. Everyone was dancing and wiggling around, because that’s what entertains most people.

Then we saw Letterman and he was just standing there. Being exceptionally witty.

Perfect — for me, at least.

The more educated I became, the more I appreciated Letterman. Just about everything else on television is aimed at Mr. and Mrs. Nobody.

I go back to Steve Allen and Jack Paar, but I think my talk shows days are just about over.

None of the new ones interest me nearly as much as Letterman. I like Fallon. I don’t like his band. Stewart is good, but he doesn’t have a band at all.

Craig Ferguson is a face-making dolt, and he’s about as nuanced as a Shriners parade.

Leno has a nice car collection. That’s about it. He’s about as funny as a one-legged tap dancer.

Letterman and I are the same age. We have made it this far together, but he will never know how much he has meant to me.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Training facility can’t counter guns’ harm

In response to Keith Wanklyn’s letter criticizing Diane Schrack’s position on the training facility, I can only say that I have known Diane for over seven years. She is a thoughtful, well-informed, and generous community activist. Mr. Wanklyn’s suggestion that she purchase a gun and complete an NRA course was arrogant and typical of right-wing gun nuts who believe that owning a gun solves every problem that the right wing perceives is wrong with our country.

I do hope that Mr. Wanklyn never experiences the death of a child or grandchild who mistakenly plays with a loaded gun in his home thinking it is a toy; who never kills a relative coming home at an unexpected time believing it is an intruder; or gets so angry at his spouse or another person in his home that he shoots them. Guns cause more deaths in this country than any other country in the “civilized” world.

There is no training facility that compensates for the amount of gun deaths Letters continues on Page 10

Different scene, different players at Capitol On Jan. 7, we started another legislative session at the Colorado State Capitol. Being in the middle of my second term, General Assembly opening days are not new to me.

But this year, we had renewed scenery and different actors. We had the usual ceremonies, yet the dome restoration is now complete, and both the House and Senate chambers have been refurbished.

The outdated 1950s acoustic tile was removed from the walls, and the paint was restored to the original colors and filigree. During the process over the interim, it was revealed through infrared inspection, that there were even hidden portraits on the walls literally underneath the historical paint. Light bulbs were also revealed that look like the old-time theater wall lights. (Those won’t be lit due to the high cost of electrical rewiring and immense heat they would infuse into the chambers.)

It’s been a fascinating process to

watch, yet our work is not done. The next two interims we will be restoring the ceilings and chandeliers to return them to their original historical design. It is a beautiful time to come to the Capitol.

You’re welcome to join me anytime. Just call or email me to arrange it.

As for the people, we shall see. We now have new faces in leadership in the state Senate as the Republicans took the majority by one vote for the first time in a decade. In the House, the Democrats

still remain in the majority, yet new faces in leadership are there now as well. We now have the first woman Democrat as speaker of the House, along with major leadership positions filled with women.

For the sixth straight year, Colorado has the highest percentage of women state legislators in the country.

Due to the primaries and special interests’ influence in Colorado, we also have a high number of extremists in the Legislature. Today, you cannot assume how legislators will vote by the letter next to their name. We definitely need more moderates working for sensible policies to join those of us who work in the middle of the aisle.

Also new, are over 30 legislators coming in who have never been in office before, needing to learn the ropes of state policymaking, the processes and the appropriate resources. Due to term limits in Colorado, we have a high turnover rate of state legislators. At first

thought, that might sound good, but it also contributes to legislators needing to rely on the historical perspective of lobbyists who have had longer tenure than most in office.

In my experience in the Senate, it takes at least two to three years to fully understand how to navigate through the process and people to be fully effective in promoting or defending efficient legislation and funding.

This year, I serve on Health and Human Services, Business, Labor and Technology, and Joint Technology Committee. I am also co-chair of the Children’s Caucus and Behavioral Health Caucus.

Maybe Mr. Wanklyn would be better off moving to a country that condones the killing of its citizens, including its women and children — how about Iraq, Syria or Nigeria, then he and his Glock or AK-47 can sleep well at night.

What about immigration’s cost to us?

I enjoyed reading Ann Healey’s article on Rocio Mendez. She sounds like she is very dedicated and very deserving of our support.

However, I have a concern. Who has paid for her education so far and who will pay in the future? While Rocio

is only one person and I am sure the “system” was able to absorb her education expenses, I do not think that the taxpayers can or should cover the costs of the millions of illegal immigrants that are getting free educations at the expenses of taxpayers’ children.

How many English as a second language classes have had to be added to our schools for these children?

How many other classes, such as art and music, have had to be canceled because the schools do not have the resources to cover these classes? It seems like today, parents are having to pay for many, many items that previously the schools were able to provide.

I agree that the illegal children should be given the opportunity to get an education, but their parents should be helping to pay for the costs, just like the rest of the taxpaying citizens.

It turned out that the single best thing I did in order to alleviate some my blues and sorrow was to speak with other friends and family members. Now I know this happens as a natural part of remembering someone when we gather for memorial services. We speak to people we haven’t seen in years and we talk about the same old stories of high school fame or of youthful mischievous behaviors. And in some cases not-so-youthful mischievous behaviors. We talk about the good times and we seem to let the bad times slip into oblivion. All of this is very helpful for some as they reminisce the good old days.

What I found most helpful was not just talking about the quick stories we share when we don’t know what else to say, but rather digging in and going deeper into some of the most meaningful events that were shared. Some of the deepest feelings that others were willing to share. And as I asked those deeper questions and pressed slightly harder for more depth in their responses, I found the others very willing to open up and share more from their hearts.

In both cases as I probed my own memory, which led to intimate exchanges of information with the friends and family members, and a true celebration of life was forming in my mind and on my pad of paper. It became so much more than just what I was “supposed” to say during a eulogy or what would be

deemed as “appropriate.” What materialized were robust, dynamic, funny, loving, passionate and provocative life stories.

Things worth celebrating and sharing with the world.

Giving the pastor and the priest fair warning of irreverent stories turned out to be the right move. Balancing humor with compassion, and finding a way to tell their “real” life story to celebrate a life well lived, allowed me to deal with my own grief better and gave me the ability to share the stories in a way far more meaningful than the “supposed to say” and “church appropriate” language.

You may never have to give a formal eulogy, but we all eulogize those we loved and lost in our hearts. So I share this story with you today so that maybe you too can find a little more relief and happiness by going deeper into the memories you shared with those who have passed away. Talk to your cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends, find out what they knew and what they enjoyed most.

There is no doubt you will hear stories of love, laughter, mystery, hard work, character and a life worth celebrating.

If you are also dealing with the loss of a loved one, I give you my condolences.

And if there is anything you would like to share with me, I would love to hear all about the way you are celebrating their life at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we give time to respect and grieve, but also find ways to truly celebrate what we had, it really will be a better than good week.

Plans for area around Sky Ridge rail station approved Lone Tree looks forward to future development along planned light rail extension

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Spurred forward by positive 2014 news about construction of the southeast light rail extension, RidgeGate’s developers are preparing to develop the area around the future Sky Ridge Station. The 28 now-vacant acres that front Interstate 25 south of Lincoln Avenue will teem with life in a vision shared by the City of Lone Tree and RidgeGate’s developers.

The Lone Tree City Council approved the subarea plan during its Jan. 6 meeting.

A portion of the area is now home to a Hampton Inn and AMLI RidgeGate apartments — formerly The Vue. In the future, the strip of land east of Park Meadows Boulevard

and south of Lincoln Avenue also will include an Embassy Suites hotel, a light rail station with limited parking, a plaza, parks, restaurants, shops, offices and another apartment complex.

Those uses, in such close proximity to major employer like Charles Schwab and Sky Ridge Medical Center, add up to a vibrant future gathering place.

“It’s really designed to make it very easy for workers and residents to just hop on the rail and get back and forth,” Lone Tree senior planner Jennifer Drybread said. “Hopefully if we have this core commercial area, it’ll serve not only the Schwab campus but Sky Ridge hospital and the larger community.”

The light rail line will extend from its current end point at Lincoln Station over Lincoln Avenue to the Sky Ridge Station, then east over Interstate 25 to the future Lone Tree city center south of Lincoln Avenue, and turn south, passing over RidgeGate Parkway to its end point at RidgeGate near the I-25 interchange.

Bolstered by a $40-million contribution from several south metro entities including the City of Lone Tree and RidgeGate, the Regional Transportation District agreed in 2014 to move forward with the extension. While the project still needs federal funding approval, RTD’s vote gave RidgeGate’s developers the confidence to take the next step in planning development of land adjacent to the future stations.

“We’ve got the key in the ignition and we’re starting to turn it now,” said RidgeGate development manager Darryl Jones. “This really just sets the stage for there to be a context for future development. Public infrastructure facilitates private development. Realistically, we’ll see more interest once the light rail station is under construction.”

Jones anticipates the Sky Ridge Station area will develop similarly to the area surrounding the Lincoln station, but likely with higher density, more restaurants and office.

Zoning there allows for buildings as high as

20 stories, but Jones said market realities won’t support such structures. Buildings likely will be eight stories or less.

Construction on the additional 2.3 miles of track and three stations likely will begin in 2016 with completion in 2019.

Construction at Sky Ridge and the light rail bridges that eventually will crisscross Lincoln Avenue, I-25 and RidgeGate Parkway will dramatically alter Lone Tree’s skyline.

“Hopefully, it will make the city look all the more dynamic because there will be a lot of activity,” Drybread said. “It’s definitely all supported by the city’s comprehensive plan.

Finally, with the light rail extension moving forward, we really will be able to implement the plan.”

Council’s approval of the subarea plan at Sky Ridge Station doesn’t encompass individual uses. Future retails, restaurants, businesses and other uses will still need to obtain individual approval from the city.

Female Ironman aims to inspire Littleton resident shares her story with kids

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith @coloradocommunitymedia.com In the Centennial Academy of Fine Arts Education library on Jan. 14, there sat the world’s future pro hockey players, veterinarians, writers — who knows what lies ahead in the life of a fifth-grader?

Anything is possible, says Karen Brown.

When she was about their age, she couldn’t have known that randomly changing TV channels one day would transform her from a teenage girl into Ironman.

“I always had this feeling inside that I could do bigger things,” Brown told the fifth-graders at the Littleton school. “But I didn’t really understand how to get it out.”

It was Julie Moss who inspired Brown to set out on a journey to someday finish the annual Ironman competition in Hawaii, which she did in 2012. Thirty years before that, Brown saw Moss literally crawling over the finish line after her body simply gave out. She’d held the lead all day, but just one competitor passed her in the end.

“I was absolutely stunned, and so excited,” said Brown.

Brown was there to hopefully share that same sense of inspiration through telling her story, which she’s also written in a book, “Journey to Kona.” She told the kids that anything is possible once you make the decision to pursue it and take the steps to

Centennial Academy of Fine Arts Education students help Karen Brown re-enact the Ironman competition she competed in. Photo by Jennifer Smith make it happen.

Brown took many of her steps, literally, in the neighborhood around the school, as she lives just a couple blocks away.

“I did all of my training right here, right beside you guys,” she told the kids.

But not everything is as simple as just making up your mind, she told the kids.

The year after she successfully completed 141-mile Ironman, she decided to give the 340-mile Ultraman a try. Three weeks before the race, she crashed her bike when a car nearly took her out, and a broken elbow threatened to bench her.

“But your thoughts are energy,” she told the kids, and she just kept them positive all the way back to Hawaii.

That’s where she met the jellyfish that stung her on the ankle in the middle of the ocean on the first day of Ultraman. Between the elbow and the ankle, she missed the requirement to finish the swim in 12 hours, knocking her out of contention.

“Even though it didn’t count, I came back,” she said. She went on to complete the cycling and running portions of the race, qualifying her for a participant medal.

“It didn’t matter to me, because I tried as hard as I could and I gave it my best,” she told the kids. “So fail forward. Learn from what went wrong and fix it, make a new plan to go forward. Failure builds character.

You learn more from failure than from success.”

The engaged kids asked smart questions: When did you eat? Never, just nutrition supplements from a straw. Didn’t your legs feel like they were going to fall off? Yes. What was your life like before? She ate plenty of chocolate. What place did you win? Out of about 200 in her age category, 83rd.

What did it mean to you?

“It meant the realization of my true potential, what I was truly capable of, and opening the door to even bigger things,” she said.

Broncos Institute offers look inside the huddle Partnership with CSU will be part of Sports Management minor

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com For students hoping to find a career in the sports management industry, a new program offered by Colorado State University may be just the ticket.

CSU announced the creation of The Denver Broncos Sports Management Institute Dec. 15 — a program that will allow students to work closely with Colorado’s favorite professional sports franchise and learn from professionals in the field.

The program, partnering the Broncos with the university, will debut this spring by offering three courses to select CSU undergraduate students. The classes will count toward a newly developed minor in sports management at Colorado State, pending faculty council approval.

“We are excited and proud to partner with a world-class university like Colorado State to create the Denver Broncos Sports Management Institute,” Broncos President and CEO Joe Ellis said in a news release. “This program will allow us to expand our involvement with higher education in our home state and help mentor local students interested in pursuing a career in sports.”

Students will take part in hands-on experiences and opportunities with the Broncos. The program will include internships with the team, guest lectures from management and case studies developed in coordination with the team.

“As a former student athlete, I have been hoping for something like this for a long time. There’s already a tremendous amount of excitement for the program,” professor Albert Bimper said. “It’s an opportunity for our students to learn from people in a nationally and internationally recognized organization and to be hands on and learn about the business of sports.”

State Rep. Conti outlines goals for legislative session Staff report State Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, District 38, took some time to answer the following questions from Colorado Community Media as the legislative session opened: Describe two bills you feel are of particular importance that you plan to sponsor this session and tell us why they are important.

The “Child Protection Bill” will create a mandatory minimum sentence for possession, possession with intent to distribute, and distribution of child pornography if there are 50 or more images. The proposal also creates a mandatory minimum sentence for creating Conti child pornography or enticing children to engage in child pornography.

My other bill is the “Tax Incentive for Home Healthcare” Bill. This bill will make it easier for seniors to stay in their homes by offering a tax credit based on their out of

pocket expenses for: home modifications, tele-health equipment and home services such as “Visiting Angels.”

What do you believe should be the top priority of your chamber of the Legislature this session?

The priority will be to make all of Colorado prosperous. The Front Range has been prospering and doing well, but many areas of the state have not been. There is much more work that needs to be done to help rural Colorado. Additional priorities for this year: education, jobs and the economy responsible government, public safety and victim protection to complete the 2015 legislative session.

With control of the Legislature being split, how can the two major parties best work together to ensure important legislation gets passed this session?

and Inclusive Sport Organizations will be taught by Bimper, the senior associate athletic director and assistant professor of Ethnic Studies. Bimper was an allMountain West offensive lineman at CSU before playing one season with the Indianapolis Colts, where he was a backup center for Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.

“How do you run an event? What does that look like? What is it like to be responsible for a facility during the course of a season? It’s an opportunity for students to really see things first hand. The internships are a big component of the program,” Bimper said.

The institute builds on an existing relationship between the Broncos and Colorado State that has included work on a variety of topics, including turf management, business, marketing and public relations courses and activities as well as numerous CSU student internships with the Broncos.

The program will initially be housed in the Department of Management within the College of Business, but the academic

framework involves four of CSU’s eight colleges.

The program will accept 20 students per semester and all are welcome to apply.

“We will be getting our feet wet with a few classes this spring and then really kick things into full gear in the fall,” Bimper said.

The classes being offered for the spring 2015 semester include: Foundations of Sport Management, Inclusive Sport Organizations and Sports Marketing.

“The Denver Broncos are rightly considered one of the finest-run franchises in all of professional sports, so the opportunity to have our students work closely with such a quality organization as part of their learning experience is an amazing opportunity,” CSU President Tony Frank said in a news release. “Combining the talents and experiences of our faculty and students with a top-notch organization like the Denver Broncos makes this a unique program, and one we’re proud to be part of at Colorado State.”

Court-appointed volunteers help youths traverse the foster system

By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com They are managers of fraud investigations, homemakers and customer-account and marketing managers.

But to the children they are assigned, they are a friend to play video games or watch movies with, a tutor for homework help or someone to take them to the park or mall.

Most of all, they are a trusted adult the child can talk to.

They are Court Appointed Special Advocates.

“CASAs have no other reason to be there except for the kid,” said Kevin Gedeon, a CASA volunteer since spring 2012. “They’re always good kids, but they are in the worst imaginable situations.”

The advocates are volunteers appointed by a judge or magistrate to children involved in a dependency or neglect case, said Kristen Kunz, 18th Judicial District CASA program director. The case will involve either imminent risk of harm to the child or familial struggles. Poverty is not considered a struggle, Kunz said, but may go hand-inhand with challenges that do qualify — physical, sexual or substance abuse, mental illness or domestic violence.

The process begins once a court case is triggered, Kunz said, and a child is entered into the custody of social services and placed in a foster home. An advocate is matched with a family, generally, within 60 days of the case opening. The advocate stays with the family until the case closes, she said, which averages about 12 to 18 months.

The Department of Human Services works to help get families back on track, Kunz said, and advocates do a lot of the legwork investigating what is in the child’s best interest.

“It’s easy to think that once a case is in the courts, everything just takes care of itself,” said C.J. Whelan, Centennial city councilmember, District 4, “but that is far from the truth.”

Yolanda Bryant has been a CASA volunteer since 2006.

She wrote the book, “One Child at a Time: The Mission of a Court Appointed Special Advocate” with the hope that the book will lead others to volunteer for the organization.

A reliable presence

CASA provides the resource that helps the child as they traverse the system, he said.

Advocates are “the voice for the children in the foster system,” said Yolanda Bryant, a CASA volunteer since 2006. “We are those children’s advocate until they are reunited with their families or are adopted by a new, forever family.”

It’s hard on children if they are placed into a strange home, or if they have been abused by a parental figure, Gedeon said.

“Their whole world has been completely demolished,” he said. “It puts everyday worries into perspective, in comparison to a young kid whose world is upside down.”

Often, a child’s advocate is the most consistent person in their life, Bryant said. The child can always rely on their CASA, she said, whether it’s spending time together as a trusted friend or as a confidant to discuss any issues the child may be experiencing at the foster home or school.

“You try and talk to them as much as you can — find out how things are going,” Gedeon said. “It makes a big impression on them to see a stranger who cares.”

CASA is the only volunteer opportunity written into law, Kunz said. Therefore, advocates receive court orders that allow them access to relevant information to best help the child, she said. Such information includes details on therapy sessions, and school, medical and court records.

The written reports, which are submitted by a child’s advocate at every court hearing, Kunz said, often are the “main vehicle for advocacy in the courtroom.”

“CASAs really get to know these kids.

You help the judge and lawyers make the choices that are in the best interest of the child,” Bryant said. “Sometimes you’re the only one in the courtroom who really knows the child.”

Closing the communication gap is key to being an advocate, said Josiane Edy, a CASA

volunteer since 2007.

“You’re part of a legal team,” she said, but a background in law is not required. Advocates deal with the case worker, social services and legal people, but also manage all of the child’s relationships — extended family, foster families and biological parents.

Finding fun, new interests

Children that advocates work with range in age from newborns to about 18 years old, Bryant said. Youths 13-21 going through the emancipation process also have CASA resources available through the Legacy Project.

“The most rewarding part is seeing the strength in the kids,” despite what they’ve been through, Gedeon said. “It’s heartwarming to see their positive attitude.”

The organization protects the volunteers’ safety, Bryant said, and has strict guidelines — such as not bringing a child into the volunteer’s home — that advocates need to adhere to. But, for the most part, the advocates are permitted to spend time with the child doing whatever the child wants to do, she said.

“Just taking them out and making them feel a little bit special,” Edy said.

CASA organizes holiday parties, and sometimes gets admission vouchers to places like the zoo, or tickets to sports games, Edy said.

It’s good to get to know the individual interests of the child and let those develop, Edy said, but it is also a great opportunity to expose the child to new things or provide them with a special learning experience.

Advocates are permitted to buy little things for the child, Edy said. A child who moves to a number of different foster homes

in a short period of time may not have a lot of possessions, she said. Even something as simple as a coloring book gives them one thing to call their very own, she said.

In need of volunteers

CASA is a nationwide nonprofit organization that began in Seattle in 1977. The programs are independent of each other, and in Colorado, programs are organized to serve judicial districts. The 18th Judicial District encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

“Abuse and neglect of a child ranks among the worst acts most of us can imagine,” Whelan said. “CASA shows the true backbone of a community by doing tremendous good during a child’s most difficult times.”

CASA strives to provide each child in need with an advocate, Kunz said, but there are more cases than volunteers.

Bryant wrote “One Child at a Time: The Mission of a Court Appointed Special Advocate” with the hope that the book will lead others to volunteer for CASA, she said.

In the book, she tells the story of a 3-yearold girl she championed, plus shares the experiences of other CASA volunteers, guardians ad litem, caseworkers and supervisors.

The book answers a lot of questions potential CASAs may have, Bryant said, and is also used as a training tool for new volunteers.

CASA needs anybody who has ever thought about a way they could make a difference in a child’s life, Bryant said.

“Just like every child differs from each other,” Bryant said, “we need every kind of person. The organization trains you for this work — you just need two strong arms and a loving heart.”

MORE ON THE BOOK All proceeds from “One Child at a Time: The Mission of a Court Appointed Special Advocate,” written by Yolanda Bryant, goes to the local CASA program, which serves the 18th Judicial District.

To purchase a copy of the book, visit the CASA office at 10855 E. Bethany Drive, Suite 200, Aurora, CO 80014.

Grab a fork — Restaurant Week coming Visit Denver has unveiled the menus and list of restaurants participating in the 2015 Denver Restaurant Week at www.denv. co/2015drw. This year’s dine-around runs from Feb. 20 through March 1, which includes two weekends.

“We want people to be intrigued by new restaurants or tantalized by menus from some of their favorites and go online and book reservations right away,” said Richard Scharf, president and CEO of Visit Denver.

More than 250 eateries in Denver and the surrounding suburbs will offer multicourse dinners for the fixed price of $30, not including tax or tip. Many of the participating restaurants also include wine, beer and drink specials.

“The fun of restaurant week is looking at how all the chefs, faced with the same challenge of providing a knockout multi-course meal for just $30, get creative to find different solutions,” Scharf said. “Denver’s restaurant scene is exploding and gaining a huge national reputation, so this is an excellent time to get out and explore some dining spots.”

More restaurants sign up daily, so diners should check the site often for new listings at www.denverrestaurantweek.com.

Arapahoe and Douglas facilities offer much more than books Taylor Blatchford

Special to Colorado Community Media The Arapahoe and Douglas County library districts both provide patrons technological opportunities beyond checking out books, from 3D printers to recording studios.

Oli Sanidas, director of Digital Services for the Arapahoe Library District, said every Arapahoe library has advanced technology beyond computer and Internet access.

“A lot of schools have some of this technology, but schools only specifically target students,” Sanidas said. “We have a lot of people in our public that we call lifelong learners, and the library is a perfect place for them.”

Sanidas said the libraries offer three different categories of technology. Some items, such as iPads and GoPro cameras, are available for patrons to check out. Another group of items, including a 3D printer and recording studio, are openly available in the libraries for patrons to use. The most expensive and delicate technology, such as Google Glass and Oculus Rift, is only available for use with staff supervision or with special programs.

The Southglenn Library in Centennial has had a media lab open for more than a year that features a recording studio, 3D printer, green screen, VHS to DVD conversion and advanced computer software. A new project is in the works for the Castlewood branch, which will include more hands-on options including a laser cutter and sewing machines.

Sanidas said he believes libraries are about dispensing knowledge, and that idea has continued to evolve through the devel-

“Knowledge is how a lot of people picture a library with books, ebooks and the Internet, where you can consume media,” Sanidas said. “There’s also a lot of knowledge in touching, feeling, learning and experiencing for yourself. Our patrons get to understand where industries are evolving and what’s changing.”

Sanidas said he wants the library to be more than a place where people can check out books.

“We want to be seen as a place of discovery and a place to go to see things that you probably couldn’t see on your own,” Sanidas said.

Parker Library branch manager Amy Long said every Douglas County library has computers for patrons to access with basic features like Microsoft Office and Internet access.

The Fusion Lab, a feature of only the Parker library, offers patrons technology options including a video camera, videoediting software, and higher-end software including PhotoShop and Illustrator. It opened in February 2014.

“That software is a little more expensive, so we wouldn’t want to put that on all 100 public computers we have throughout the Douglas County libraries,” Long said.

Long said the more popular features include VHS to DVD conversion and videoediting software.

“I wouldn’t say (The Fusion Lab) is as popular as our public computers, which are used every day, but it’s definitely getting use and people are getting more aware that we have that opportunity,” Long said. “It’s getting more and more use as time has gone

IN LITTLETON While Littleton’s Bemis Library doesn’t offer Google Glass or Oculus Rift, it does make iPads available in the Teen Center. And it is expected to acquire the city’s first 3D printer this year. on.”

Derrick Mason, an Adult Services Librarian and Fusion Lab team member for the Parker Library, develops programs to increase awareness and usage of library technology and provides instruction to patrons.

“My favorite experience in the Fusion Lab so far has been the Youth Media Camp we held last summer,” Mason said. “Last summer, over 30 teens participated in a program in which they learned filmmaking techniques and used our equipment to produce short films. They turned the entire library into their own movie studio.”

Long said that the lab will move to the new Parker Library building, which will be built this year. There are not currently plans to add similar features to other Douglas County libraries.

She said she believes the role of the library is in providing access to the community, including access to print materials, electronic materials, databases, computers or high-end computer software.

“If you think of the library as a provider of access, and access to greater resources and knowledge than one would have in their home on a daily basis, then I don’t think our role has changed at all,” Long said. “What we’re providing access to has changed and will continue to change as the environment changes.”

Mark Miller, my friend and a huge fan and friend of Denver’s restaurant community, died on Jan. 11 after a lengthy illness. He was 82.

Mark, husband of author and TV/radio personality Pat “Gabby Gourmet” Miller, was the power behind the throne. As Gabby’s chief of staff, Mark ran the business of being The Gabby Gourmet.

There was no better friend to the local restaurant community. Mark was both revered for his gentle gentleman persona and feared for his fierce advertising sales prowess.

Prom show comes to Denver

TLC’s national program “Say Yes to the Prom” is coming to Denver, and The Cable Center has been chosen as one of five partners by TLC’s parent company Discovery Communications to host one of its 2015 events.

Now in its fourth year, “Say Yes to the Prom” will give a select group of deserving girls from Abraham Lincoln High School the opportunity to develop mentoring relationships with industry professionals, build their self-confidence and self-image and, of course, “say yes to the prom dress.”

To make this a special event for the girls involved, The Cable Center will host a Prom Dress Drive from 10 a.m. to noon Jan. 31 at The Cable Center, 2000 Buchtel Blvd. More than 500 new and gently used dresses, with dry-cleaning tags, are needed in order for the girls to have the best shopping experience.

Time is bent in ‘Predestination’ Film is clearer for those who read original story

By Jocelyn Noveck Associated Press

Time travel. There’s hardly a more alluring fantasy in our pop culture, from the simplest depictions — children’s cartoons, comic strips, romantic comedy films — to the “Interstellar’’ kind that you need a physics degree to understand.

Count “Predestination’’ among the more complex explorations of the concept: a strange, yet also strangely alluring, adaptation of a definitively weird short story, “All You Zombies’’ by Robert Heinlein, about a time-tripping crimefighter (Ethan Hawke, in his appealing Everyman persona).

Directed by the Spierig brothers (Michael and Peter), the film may not require a physics degree. But it does require a decent night’s sleep and most of your brain cells. This is not a movie to watch after several glasses of wine.

Speaking of wine, Hawke plays a man known only as The Barkeep. And yes, he tends bar occasionally, but his real job title is Temporal Agent, which is just as cool as it sounds.

We meet him in 1970s Manhattan, where he’s preparing for his final mission — taking down a terrorist called the Fizzle Bomber, who, if not stopped, will destroy much of the city.

Dismantling one of the man’s bombs, he loses much of his face. But he recovers to look like, well, Ethan Hawke.

One evening, a guy walks into a bar. Or, sort of a guy. His name is Unmarried Mother, and the reason for that name will slowly be revealed as he tells his story in flashbacks — a highlight of the film. Turns out Unmarried Mother — played by the terrific Australian actress Sarah Snook, in a wonderfully nuanced, gender-bending performance — began his unusual life as a female baby named Jane, abandoned on the steps of a Cleveland orphanage in 1945.

After a youth in which she displays a tomboy streak and fighting skills, she winds up being recruited in the ‘60s to Space Corps, a strange force of women tasked with having sex with astronauts in space, to relieve their tension. But before she can blast off, she winds up impregnated by a mysterious young man who then deserts her.

It gets weirder. She gives birth to a baby girl, and doctors inform her that they discovered both male and female organs inside her. They’ve chosen to make her a man.

In this image released by Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions, Sarah Snook, Left, and Ethan Hawke appear in a scene from the film, “Predestination.” Associated Press offers Jane the chance to go back in time and alter what happened. She jumps at the chance, without knowing just how it’s going to happen. Barkeep dusts off the old time machine, which lives in a violin case, and the two travel back to Jane’s origins.

But Barkeep’s got an agenda, and it’s here that revealing any more plot becomes tricky. First, because of spoilers, but also because it gets really confusing. Certainly those who’ve read Heinlein’s story (easily available online) will know what they’re seeing, and sci-fi aficionados who think a certain way may have a good sense, too. Many others, though, will be aching more than once to hit a rewind button.

Like me, you may also find yourself asking, wait, can THAT happen in time travel? Why, of course it can. It’s fiction. But you’ll see what I mean.

MOVIE DETAILS “Predestination,’’ a Sony Pictures release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America “for violence, some sexuality, nudity and language.’’

Running time: 97 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

You may also ask yourself why you haven’t seen Snook before. This actress, who resembles a young Jodie Foster, gives a chameleon-like performance that’s about much more than makeup and costumes and voice register. She makes the more preposterous scenes seem plausible, and even when they’re not plausible, at least interesting. And she’s only in her 20s; time is on her side.

n’ Local jumper embraces bright lights More than 15,000 animals, 350 vendors on display at National Western

By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com

For many, standing center stage at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver can be a nerveracking endeavor.

At the nation’s largest such event, the pressure can quickly mount for both professionals and amateurs.

But for 16-year-old horse jumper Cassie Marone of Highlands Ranch and her horse Denver, the spotlight transforms into a moment of calm.

“When you compete a lot, you get used to it,” Marone said Jan. 17. “You’re pretty comfortable when it’s just you and your horse in the ring. You don’t really think about everyone else.”

It isn’t Marone’s first rodeo. She has been competing and riding in competitions for years, including participating in the 2014 edition of the National Western. She boards her horses and trains at Millbrook Equestrian in Parker, 7860 N. Flintwood Road.

“It’s great. We love coming here every year because it’s just a fun experience and it’s a cool show to be at,” Marone said. “I think it’s just cool to get into the big arenas and have all the big jumps and see all the different horses and people.”

Marone’s mother Donna said that she loves coming to the National Western because it gives her daughter a chance to see and compete against some of the nation’s top equestrian talent. It’s also a bonding experience for mother and daughter.

“She’s a senior next year in high school, so we’ll probably come again to next years’. It’s her last year before she goes off to college,” Donna said.

The 16-day run of the National Western Stock Show is Colorado’s largest trade show with more than 350 vendors and 15,000 heads of livestock that will be judged, groomed, bought and sold.

Horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, llamas, bison, yaks, ok poultry and rabbits line the stockyard next to the horses. er, They are sheered, combed, washed and blow-dried as he they get ready for their chance to impress and possible nd turn a hefty profit for their owners.

“The craziest thing I’ve seen, I would say, the big d longhorn that’s walking around,” Cassie Marone said.

“My horse doesn’t like that guy. He’s afraid of it.”

Ticket prices range from $10 to $19 for everyone 12 and older, with higher-priced tickets required on the

The general admission ticket also is good for visits to the Children’s Ranchland and petting farm, open daily on the third floor of the Expo Hall.

There are also 19 rodeo performances during the first stop of the year for members of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Separate tickets are required for these events.

Livestock shows have been held in the Denver area since 1899 but none were regularly scheduled events.

That changed in 1906 when the National Western Stock Show was held for the first time. The initial run was six days and an estimated 15,000 people attended.

The National Western Stock show runs until Jan. 25.

Teen singer releases debut single Parker girl hopes for career in music

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Millions of young girls would love to write and perform songs that reach an audience, but not everyone puts in the time and dedication that Amanda May does.

The 13-year-old singer-songwriter from Parker released her first song on iTunes last month. “Sparks Always Spread,” which she describes as a “song about not doubting myself, even when it can be easy to do so,” follows in the footsteps of today’s superstars, like Taylor Swift. May’s ability to chronicle the ups and downs of being a teenager is a product of her years of experience on the acoustic guitar (no, really) and her creative wordplay.

The release of her debut single is a small step toward what she hopes is a career in music, but May makes it clear that she’s not in it for fame or glamour. She’s drawn by “the way songs are made.” May has sung from a young age and always had a fascination with the guitar, which she picked up in the second grade and never put down.

“I’m not just, like, a kid that’s messing with an instrument and forgets about it in two weeks,” she says.

May channels her energy into her craft and says she prefers songwriting over typical teenage activities like hanging out with friends and going to movies.

May’s speaking voice and singing voice, as well as her poise and maturity, seem to reflect her intense focus, conveying the notion that she takes what she is saying very seriously. When talking about what separates her songwriting from modern pop artists, she mentions her inclusion of seventh chords and occasional dissonant bass notes and writing in different keys.

“I try to stay away from the typical pattern,” May says, carefully distancing herself from the formulaic tendencies of today’s popular music writers.

Of course, her mother, Leah Morin, is among her biggest cheerleaders, and she has been beyond impressed at her daughter’s ability to put together catchy, well-thought-out tunes.

“Her songwriting, from day one, has just been wise beyond her years. Very advanced,” Morin said.

Practicing for hours on end is “fun,” and May enjoys soaking up knowledge from her guitar teacher and vocal coach. Her goal is to make it as an artist, but she is not blind to the fact that it’s an industry that’s “really cutthroat.” Her second career choice also involves reaching out to people with her words of wisdom. May’s fallback is pursuing a job as a psychologist or social worker.

But she has plenty of time to figure things out. Her next plan is to play again in the Stars of Tomorrow talent competition in Castle Rock this spring. From there, she plans to learn everything there is to know about recording her own material.

To download “Sparks Always Spread,” go to the iTunes store and type in “Amanda May.”

Wrestlers create unique fundraiser Decorated toilet makes rounds as it raises money

By Taylor Blatchford

Special to Colorado Community Media Instead of selling discount cards or cookie dough, the Littleton High School wrestling team is raising money in a more creative way this season: with a decorated toilet.

Jodi Ruybal, a team parent, said she originally saw the idea on Pinterest when looking online for fundraising ideas.

“I thought it would be a fun idea that people would find humorous, and that they would be willing to donate to the

cause,” Ruybal said.

Anyone can pay $25 to have the painted toilet and a sign explaining the fundraiser delivered to an address in the Littleton area for three days. The recipient must pay $20 for removal, and for another $25, they can choose the next location for delivery. For an additional $30, they are guaranteed that the toilet will not come back to their house. If the toilet is delivered to someone unwilling to participate, there is an escape clause.

Roybal said she thought the fundraiser would work well for the team because it is more unique than most fundraisers, such as cards offering discounts to local businesses. The toilet fundraiser also provides 100 percent profit to the team, as opposed to having to share proceeds

with a sponsoring company.

“I believe it will be more effective than a more traditional fundraiser because of the humor aspect and because people wouldn’t expect it,” Ruybal said.

Heath Burton, Littleton’s head wrestling coach, said the money raised from the fundraiser will go toward paying for tournaments, wrestling gear and uniforms.

“The community response has been good so far,” Burton said. “It was last at somebody’s house in our neighborhood for a friend’s birthday party because someone put it in the yard as a joke.”

Burton said the team plans on continuing the fundraiser the entire wrestling season, until mid to late February.

‘Clean House’ provokes emotions Town Hall show offers humor, food for thought

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com There was a lot of humor as well as some thought-provoking moments during Town Hall Arts Center’s performance of “The Clean House.”

Sarah Ruhl wrote the play in 2004 that is a romantic comedy revolving around a Brazilian hired as a cleaning woman who would rather tell jokes than clean the house.

Several themes are intertwined with the adventures of the would-be comedian. Of course, there is humor, but also romance, a love triangle and even a bit of tragedy.

The role of the cleaning woman was tailor made for Brazilian-born Viviane Rinalde. She plays the role to perfection, and her expressions, hand movements and body language manages to convey at least the essence of the jokes she told even though she told the jokes in Portuguese.

LuAnn Buckstein shines as she portrays Virginia. Her talents shine as she plays a

cannabis is legal, including Colorado.

“It will be a specially engineered strain of pot designed to not give you the munchies,” an insider close to the Skinnygirl cocktails creator, 44, tells Us magazine. “She read about how profitable the cannabis industry is and wants to get in on that.”

New owners for Wazee Supper Club Roadhouse Hospitality Group has acquired the 40-year-old Wazee Supper Club at 1600 15th St. in LoDo, making it the 17th restaurant for the family-operated Colorado-based company.

Roadhouse Hospitality Group has been one of the state’s best-established restaurant family dynasties for nearly three decades. Owned by the brothers Dan, John and Mike Shipp, the group comprises such diverse eateries as the popular Washington Park Grille, Reiver’s, Spanky’s Roadhouse in the University of Denver neighborhood, the upscale pair of dining experiences that are the two Hodsons (downtown and Southglenn) and myriad mountain destinations such as the Kickapoo Tavern in Keystone, as well as four Dusty Boot Steakhouse & Saloons in Greenwood Village, Aurora, Eagle and Beaver Creek.

The Shipp brothers plan renovations for Wazee that will revisit its past while highlighting significant features that the beloved and now-famous restaurant — President Obama ate pizza there in 2014 during a Denver stop - lost over the years through ownership changes and remodels.

The play makes ample use of the creative lighting as well as stage technology that even includes an indoor snowstorm.

Each of the two acts contained humorous lines, some of them subtle as well as some surprises.

Cast members include Rinalde, Buckstein, Charla Mason Kelly as Lane, Nita Froelich as Ana and Daymon Caylo as Charles.

The Littleton venue’s production of “The Clean House” is directed by Robert Wells.

Performances had to be canceled the first weekend of the play’s run because of illness among members of the cast. So, two performances have been added to the play’s schedule with a performance at 2 p.m. Jan. 24 and a performance at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 28.

Show times for “The Clean House” are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. There also will be shows at 2 and 6:30 p.m. Jan. 25 and at 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 1.

Dynamic Buna tackling mighty issues Littleton resident and motivational speaker brings leaders together

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dynamic Buna is back at it, this time taking on immigration, a topic that’s near and dear to her heart.

“There’s no way I would ever be who I am today if I hadn’t come to America,” she told a group of local leaders she gathered together at Water 2 Wine in Centennial on Jan. 15. The event was the second in a series she’s dubbed the “Dynamic Buna Power Hour.”

Born blind in Nepal, the ever-energetic Buna Dahal has been a familiar face in Littleton since she arrived to attend the Colorado School of the Blind. She enjoyed her time there so much that she stayed, working as the employment counselor for several years.

“She just takes control and knows how to make things happen,” says Julie Deden, executive director of CCB. “Buna has always made things happen, and I’m so looking forward to see what happens next. It could be anything.”

She’s since launched her own leadership-development company, Dynamic Buna, and has spoken to the United Nations and the government of Turkey, among many other organizations. She also earned her master’s degree and U.S. citizenship, a point of much pride for her.

She invited several of her fellow immigrants to the discussion, which Littleton Mayor Phil Cernanec said is a great help in achieving understanding among various cultural groups.

“One of the things that has the potential to hold us back is fear,” he said. “Fear leads to discrimination. … Talk to your neighbors, get to know them. If you need a cup of sugar, you shouldn’t have to go to the store.”

Themes of the evening included diversity, participation, democracy, opportu-

“We have to be respectful of immigrants on both sides, those that are already here and those that are coming,” said Ron Rakowski, mayor of Greenwood Village. “Because I think they come here for opportunity.”

Littleton Councilmember Debbie Brinkman said she’s proud that her city regularly hosts citizenship ceremonies at the Littleton Center. The last one welcomed nearly 40 new Americans from around the world.

“It’s about what you came with, what’s in your heart, what’s in your mind, what’s

Event helps writers find path to success College will host Colorado Authors’ League Craft Fair Staff report There’s one craft that’s often left out of craft fairs entirely, and the Colorado Authors’ League wants to change that.

“This craft fair isn’t your typical craft fair,” reads a CAL press release. “Rather than a time to buy handmade crafts, this is an opportunity to attend intensive sessions on various aspects of the craft of writing.”

The CAL Craft Fair is part of the league’s “Second Saturday” series, presented in partnership with the Arapahoe Community College Writers Studio on Feb. 14, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the college, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. The daylong event features a series of breakout sessions covering topics like editing, screenwriting, interviewing, research and more.

Participants can register in advance at

www.coloradoauthors.org, and indicate the three sessions they’re most interested in.

The cost in advance is $30 for CAL members and $40 for nonmembers, and just $10 for ACC students. All prices go up $10 for registration at the door. The sessions are: • “Fine-tuning Your Writing” by BK Loren, award-winning novelist and acclaimed speaker at writing conferences and workshops.

• “Elements of Good Editing” by Diane Hartman, former Auburn University instructor and longtime editor.

• “Basics of Screenwriting” by Bruce Leaf, award-winning screenwriter.

• “Productive Interviewing” by Norm Clarke, Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist and 2015 Damon Runyon Award recipient.

• “Successful Research” by Pamela Hallaren, Arapahoe Library District research librarian .

• “Improved Story Organization and Structure” by Terry Frei, author of eight fiction and nonfiction books.

in your soul,” she said. “Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it. If you’re looking for trouble, you’ll get it. We don’t put up a bunch of roadblocks, you put up your own roadblocks.”

Doug Tisdale, former mayor of Cherry Hills Village, spent last week on jury duty with a man who sought asylum here from Senegal.

“He exercised his duty as a citizen by serving on a jury,” said Tisdale. “What we believe makes our country a very cherished place is the ability to participate in our democracy in that way.”

Arapahoe County Clerk Matt Crane

agreed, and added that he strives to make voting as accessible as possible for everyone.

“It’s not just that ability to find your way, it’s the ability to have a say,” he said.

“If you really want to see the change you want to see, or keep the values that are important, the most important thing you can do is get out there and vote.”

Americans from everywhere have more in common than just where they live, Dahal said.

“It’s the American spirit we all carry,” she said. “At the end of the day, we are all here together sharing the spirit.”

Pop goes the Ar vada Center

Art movement examines media, culture, production

IF YOU GO The Arvada Center galleries are open to the public from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays; 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays and until 7:30 p.m. on performance evenings. The Center is located at 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada. Information: 720-898-7200, arvadacenter.org. Free parking, free admission.

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “rePOPulated: contemporary perspectives on pop art” opens Jan. 22 in the Main Gallery at the Arvada Center and runs through March 29.

At the same time, the Upper Gallery will host a collection of work by Phil Bender, Colorado’s Pop master, according to curator Colin Parsons. And Sean O’Meallie’s “Freeplay” will be in the Theater Gallery.

There will be a free public reception from 6 to 9 p.m. on

Jan. 22 and three free artist talks: • Feb. 7, 11 a.m., Theater and Upper Galleries — Phil Bender and Sean O’Meallie • Feb. 26, 7 p.m., Main Gallery — Carlos Fresquez, Mark Penner-Howell and Chinn Wang • March 14, 11 a.m., Main Gallery — Kym Bloom, Evan Colbert, Margaret Kasahara, Colin Livingston and Tony

Ortega.

Parsons said: “Looking at the list of participating artists, I realized that this exhibition (the first of 2015) highlights a diverse cross-section of American culture. I think visitors will enjoy the range of work represented.” Mass media, culture and production, as seen through the lens of Pop Art, is the focus of the exhibits.

Some works come from the collection of the CU Art Museum in Boulder by pioneers in the movement such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Clark Indiana and Claes Oldenberg.

Participating artists include: Roland Bernier, Scott Blake, Kym Bloom, Craig Cleveland, Evan Colbert, Scott Dye, Carlos Fresquez, Margaret Kasahara, Colin Livingston, Michael Mew, Tony Ortega, Mark Penner-Howell, Louis Recchia, Floyd D. Tunson and Chinn Wang.

U Arttmunds ch as@coloradocommunitymedia.com obert A pair of short-handed goals berg. lake,built the lead as Denver East bestCar-ed Heritage 4-1 in a league hockey chaelgame Jan. 17 at Big Bear Ice Arena. chia, “This is a tough game for us. We are really down a little right now because we have some guys out because they are sick and some guys who are out because they are hurt,” Eagles coach Jeremy Sims said after the game. “I thought we played fairly well and were in it for most of the game. Those two quick shorthanded goals really hurt us.”

While this is Denver East’s first season playing ice hockey, they are a talented team. Coach Chris Delaney said the team has a good group of athletes who played ice hockey for Machebeuf or for Kent Denver last season.

The Angels are a consolidated

team with players from the Denver district but the coach said 19 of the 25 athletes on the roster are from Denver East so there is a solid sense of community and school support.

Heritage is also the consolidated team for Littleton School District with two players from Littleton High School and about five from Arapahoe High School. The remainder of the 23 players on the roster are Heritage High School students.

“We do a full program that starts in August for the fall hockey season,” Coach Sims said. “We try to get the kids to join us early and stick with the program all four years.”

The majority of the players in the league are year-round hockey players, he said.

“Most of these kids know each other,” he said. “Often they have been on the same team or played against each other in club hockey.”

Eagles center Charlie Stewart is a year-round hockey player.

“Hockey is definitely my sport. I started playing hockey when I was a four-year-old,” Steward said after the game. “I guess it is my only sport because I think it is the best sport.

I love the game because the action

is so fast. Hockey is way faster than any other sport.”

He said his speed is an asset and his accuracy shooting the puck.

“I like playing center because I get to score goals. I think my best shot is always the shot that puts the puck into the net,” he said. “For the team, my goal is to help us get to the final four in the state playoffs.

Personally I would like to earn 35 points this season. I have about 17 right now so that personal goal is within reach.”

For individual statistics, a player gets one point for an assist and two points for scoring a goal.

The Jan. 16 game was played at a fast pace as the teams pushed the puck up and down the ice, looking for a good shot on goal.

Each team’s defense kept the puck away from the net most of the time. The scoreless tie was broken midway through the first period when the Angles mounted an attack and all the players engaged in the battle in front of the net until Denver East chipped the puck past the diving Eagles goalie.

The score remained unchanged until midway through the second

Heritage goalie Andrew Nash guards the net while teammates Jacob Bloom (23) and Matt More (4) work to try to send the puck up the ice during the Jan. 17 league hockey game against Denver East.

Heritage got on the scoreboard in the third period on a goal by Charles Stewart. With less than two minutes left in the game, the Eagles pulled the goalie to give them an extra player on the ice. But a Denver East player took a long shot that was on target and went into the empty

net to give the Angels the 4-1 win.

Notes: The Eagles now have a 4-6 overall record and they are 2-3 in the Peak League. They had a league match Jan. 19 against Palmer at the Ice Ranch and faced undefeated Cherry Creek Jan. 23 at the Family Sports Center.

It was back to league play Jan. 24 in a game at the Ice Ranch against Pueblo County and at the same location Jan. 32 against Pine Creek.

Slow starts doom Lions against Valor Both boys and girls teams can’t overcome large deficits

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Good starts against good teams are vital.

Both the Littleton boys and girls teams fell behind early and lost to Valor Christian in a varsity doubleheader Jan. 14 in the Lions’ gym.

Coach Ryan Fletcher’s boys team trailed 17-2 after the first quarter as Valor rolled to a 63-37 Jefferson County 4A League triumph.

Littleton’s girls trailed 29-10 at half and dropped a 63-39 Jeffco decision to Valor Christian, the No. 1 ranked team in the CHSAANow.com Class 4A poll.

Playing from behind can be difficult.

“We needed to get off to a good start,” said Fletcher. “We knew their size was going to be something that would give us a challenge. We came out and tried to man them up, and we had a hard time boxing out and they got a lot of second chances.”

Khameron Davis’ 19 points paced a Valor offense that shot 51 percent for the game.

Zach Valdez, a 6-foot-2 senior, scored 14 consecutive points in the third and fourth

Littleton’s Sam Kail seeks a way to get around Valor Christian’s Khameron Davis during the Lions’ Jan. 14 63-37 setback to Valor. Photo by Jim Benton quarters for the Lions and finished with a game-high 22 points.

“We started getting the ball in good spots where he could score,” explained Fletcher.

“He got on a roll. Tre (Blake) penetrated real well. He had nine assists and seven or eight of those were to Valdez. The team’s energy was good the whole game.

“We went into a break and had won a couple in a row and felt like we were building some things, but our schedule has been tough. Overall I like where we’re at.”

Littleton’s girls shot just 35 percent and Kiera Lindgren had 15 points in the loss to Valor.

“Our girls played well defensively in the

first half but offensively we weren’t clicking,” said Littleton coach Adam Williams.

“They’re really good, and from what I’ve seen, they are the best team in 4A. They have lots of speed and athleticism.”

Laura Puchino, the Lions top scorer, had only three points and fouled out late in the game.

“She’s struggling with a thumb injury,” related Williams.

Kendall Bradbury scored 30 points to pace the Eagles but Caroline Bryan, the Eagles’ second leading scorer, sprained her ankle in the first half and watched the second half from a chair near the exit with her ankle propped and wrapped.

After the game the Lions girls showed class following the traditional post-game handshakes/slaps between the teams and walked over to Bryan and one-by-one slapped her hand.

“We talk a lot about being a classy team,” said Wallace. “This is a fabulous group of kids.”

Notes: The schedule didn’t ease up for Fletcher’s team. Littleton (2-10, 0-4) hosted Golden, Colorado’s second-ranked 4A team, in a Jeffco encounter Jan. 16. Golden downed the Lions, 86-45. Littleton’s girls (8-4, 2-2) rebounded with 58-35 triumph over Golden Jan. 16. Laura Puchino had 11 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and three steals in the victory

Pirates win close one Englewood girls turn back Skyview run to win hoops game, 46-42

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com A scoring run in the closing minutes provided the margin of victory as Englewood edged Skyview 46-42 in league girls basketball action on Jan. 16.

“The girls played hard,” Pirates coach Thomas Rode said after the game. “Even when they got behind, they didn’t panic but continued to scrap and fight to get back on top. That happened because each one of the girls went out and did her jobs.”

The victory raised the Pirates’ overall record to 5-7 and their league record to 2-2, which puts them in fourth place in the league standings.

The Jan. 16 win was important because it comes just ahead of the Pirate scheduled to play games against the three teams tied for the league lead, each with 4-0 records.

On Jan. 20, Englewood was at home against Weld Central and they go on the road Jan. 23 against Elizabeth before returning home Jan. 27 against Fort Morgan. The Pirates close out the January portion of the schedule with a road trip to Fort Lupton.

The Jan. 16 game took on a defensive tone from the opening tipoff. Both teams had possessions and both teams took shots but the scoreless tie wasn’t broken until Englewood hit a three-pointer just over two minutes into the game.

The tempo of offense picked up a bit and a Skyview three-pointer just before the buzzer gave the Wolverines a 14-8 advantage after one quarter.

Englewood regained the lead with a fivepoint run late in the second period to establish a 23-18 lead halftime.

A back-and-forth scoring battle marked the third period as Skyview went up 31-28 but the Pirates came back to take a 34-33 lead going into final quarter.

The score was tied at 36 with 4:40 left in the game when the Pirates put up a pair of free throws and three baskets to go up 44-36.

The coach said the Pirates are playing well at home and now they need to figure how to go out and win on the road.

“Our crowd has been a big help for our team,” he said. “Tonight, for example, when we got down, the crowd cheered and got us up. Then, when we took the lead, the crowd cheered and kept up pumped up. You couldn’t ask for better fan support.”

The Pirates spread the scoring around.

Frankie Harvey led the team with 14 points and Julia Kline had 13. Dominic Daughtry scored six points and Maddie Smith accounted for five points.

Kline, a senior, is a point guard and returning letter winner.

“This was a very intense game because, since we were freshmen we have wanted to beat Skyview,” she said after the game. “It was one of those games against a rival you always want to win but it was even more important tonight because we wanted to win the game against Skyview in our new gym.”

Kline said it was a very physical game but the Pirates worked through it.

“The big plus tonight was everyone trusts their teammates,” she said. “We know how each other plays and each player’s strengths.”

The senior also thanked the fans for their support.

“To see a big crowd come out really helps us,” she said. “They cheer for us and it pumps us up to play harder because the cheering shows the fan believes in our team.”

‘Bosnian Bear’ gives Nuggets a lift at center Rookie Jusuf Nurkic making a big impression

By Pat Graham Associated Press

The “Bosnian Bear” loves chocolate cheesecake with vanilla mousse almost as much as video games and horror films.

Some might say Jusuf Nurkic (pronounced you-SOOF nur-KITCH) is just a 6-foot-11, 280-pound kid at heart. Others would say he’s really still a kid.

The Denver Nuggets decided to make the 20-year-old rookie their starting center by trading Timofey Mozgov to Cleveland in early January for two protected first-round draft picks.

That’s how much confidence they have in their bruiser from Bosnia-Herzegovina who’s only been playing basketball for five years.

He’s averaging 6.9 points and 5.1 rebounds this season, numbers that may even get him invited to the Rising Stars Challenge for rookies and second-year players during All-Star weekend next month.

It certainly hasn’t taken him long to pick up the game — or the English language. He understands what he’s hearing just fine.

Except, of course, when coach Brian Shaw yells at him during practice. Only then does he act like he can’t understand.

“He’s clever,” said Shaw. “He’ll try to use that ‘I don’t understand’ card when it’s convenient for him to use it. He understands all right.

“That’s the one thing about basketball — the things that you do on the court are universal. So there may be different words for different things in different languages, but a pick and roll is still a pick and roll, a post-up is still a post-up, a shot is a shot. In terms of that, there’s no barrier. He has a good understanding, because he has such a high basketball IQ.’’ His story of discovery is actually quite remarkable. Here’s the condensed version: An agent saw a newspaper article on Nurkic’s father, a big, burly policeman. The agent contacted the father to see if he by chance had a son, which he did — a teenager named Jusuf.

“He looked at me, and I was normal size, and he said, ‘That kid is going to be in the

Denver Nuggets guard Ty Lawson, left, is congratulated by center Jusuf Nurkic after Lawson scored a basket and drew a foul against the Memphis Grizzlies in the fourth quarter of a game Jan. 3. Associated Press NBA,’ ” said Jusuf Nurkic, who was dubbed “Bosnian Bear” by the team early in the season but also likes “Bosnian Beast” as a nickname.

“We all just smiled, because it was crazy.”

After all, Nurkic didn’t know a thing about the game. Even more, he couldn’t shoot. But they found him a coach, who taught him how to shoot.

And then Nurkic grew. And grew.

He turned into a big man with nifty foot work who can effortlessly run the floor, which immediately attracted the Nuggets’ attention.

So much so that they acquired him on draft night, sending their 11th overall pick (Doug McDermott) to Chicago for Nurkic (No. 16) and guard Gary Harris (No. 19).

From the start, Nurkic’s been as advertised — a bashing force inside with some finesse, too.

“We were lucky, because he’s making us look smart. But he deserves all the credit,’’ general manager Tim Connelly said. “He doesn’t want to just fit in. He wants to make a mark.”

To fight homesickness, Nurkic said he calls family and friends quite a bit, plays lots of “NBA 2K15” and goes to movies. Since he doesn’t like to cook, he dines out quite often as well. His favorite restaurant is the Cheesecake Factory, where he typically orders the chocolate tuxedo cream cheesecake for dessert.

This month, his family is in town and he’s playing tour guide when he’s not on the court.

“It’s great to have family here,” Nurkic said.

“It feels like home.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JAN. 19, 2015

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Use that Arian charm to help make a difficult workplace transition easier for everyone. News about a long-awaited decision can be confusing. Don’t jump to conclusions.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Although you might well be tempted to be more extravagant than you should be at this time, I’m betting you’ll let your sensible Bovine instinct guide you toward moderation.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) An opportunity for travel could come with some problems regarding travel companions and other matters. So be sure you read all the fine print before you start packing.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Make an effort to complete your usual workplace tasks before volunteering for extra duty. Scrambling to catch up later on could create some resentment among your colleagues.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) A financial matter could have you rethinking your current spending plans. You might want to recheck your budget to see where you can cut back on expenses until the situation improves.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) One way to make your case for that promotion you’ve been hoping for might be to put your planning skills to work in helping to shape up a project that got out of hand. Good luck.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Be careful about “experts” who have no solid business background. Instead, seek advice on enhancing your business prospects from bona fide sources with good success records.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Standing up to support a colleague’s viewpoint -- even if it’s unpopular -- can be difficult if you feel outnumbered. But you’ll win plaudits for your honesty and courage.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) While progress continues on resolving that recurring problem, you might feel it’s taking too long. But these things always need to develop at their own pace. Be patient.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Someone close to you might have a financial problem and seek your advice. If you do decide to get involved, insist on seeing everything that might be relevant to this situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A personal matter takes an interesting turn. The question is, do you want to follow the new path or take time out to reconsider the change? Think this through before deciding.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Moving into a new career is a big step. Check that offer carefully with someone who has been there, done that, and has the facts you’ll need to help you make your decision.

H. Depth (if well): Not applicable. 4. Provide a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: A. The subject water right and its associated structures and sources are part of the unified water supply system for Highlands Ranch. Highlands Ranch is a development consisting of approximately 22,000 acres in Douglas County, including the community of Highlands Ranch.

Proposed development on Highlands Ranch is expected to occur over a long period of time and development of water resources on Highlands Ranch will be controlled by the rate at which residential, commercial, and industrial development on Highlands Ranch occurs. Centennial is responsible for providing a municipal water supply to Highlands Ranch. B. During the diligence period, Centennial continued to engage in efforts to obtain the reallocation of storage space in Chatfield Reservoir from flood control to multipurpose use, including municipal storage (AChatfield Reallocation Project@) .

Centennial has participated in reallocation discussions and activities with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (AUSACE@), the Colorado Department of Natural Resources (ACDNR@), the Colorado Water Conservation Board, the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife, the Denver Water Board and others. Centennial is a cooperating agency providing information to and commenting on drafts of the Feasibility Report/Environmental Impact Study (AFR/EIS@) prepared by the USACE, and has participated in the funding of additional consultants to complement the FR/EIS studies. On January 22, 2009, Centennial and the other entities requesting reallocated storage space in Chatfield Reservoir received the approval of a policy exception from Mr. John Paul Woodley, the Assistant Secretary of the Army, which makes an adjustment to the cost of storage calculation that applies to the Chatfield Reallocation Project, reducing the required payment from all entities from a previous $34,000,000 to $16,285,392.

The final draft FR/EIS for the Chatfield Reallocation Project was issued in June 2012 and the final FR/EIS was issued in July 2013. The State of Colorado Fish and Wildlife Mitigation plan for the Chatfield Reallocation Project was approved in January 2014. The Record of Decision affirming the Chatfield Reallocation Project as the preferred alternative was issued on May 29, 2014. The Department of the Army and CDNR entered into a Water Storage Agreement for the Chatfield Reallocation Project on Oct. 9, 2014. Centennial staff and consultants have participated in all aspects of the process to obtain the required approvals for the Chatfield Reallocation Project and, during the diligence period, incurred in excess of $792,300 in expenditures, including payments to the CWCB and to consultants working on the FR/EIS and related agreements necessary to implement the project. C. Centennial completed construction of South Platte Reservoir on February 4, 2008 at a total construction cost of $42.5 million.

During the diligence period, Centennial spent approximately $210,340 on the following water related to South Platte Reservoir: repairs to the outlet gates, annual monitoring and inspections related to dam safety requirements of the State Engineer=s office, water quality monitoring and adjustments to flow measurement instrumentation. D. During the diligence period, Centennial continued to participate in the Chatfield Basin Authority, formed under authority of the Denver Regional Council of Governments. The Authority has initiated water quality related studies and is developing land management plans to protect the quality of inflows to Chatfield Reservoir. Centennial=s participation is for the purpose of protecting the quality of water diverted to its municipal system at Chatfield Reservoir, including water that will be stored in the future under the subject water right. E. During the diligence period, Centennial continued to participate in the Coalition for the Upper South Platte (CUSP), formerly known as Upper South Platte Watershed Protection Association. Centennial is in the Members class of the association, with full voting rights and dues obligations. The association was formed in 1998 with the purpose of maintaining or improving water quality and related resources within the South Platte watershed above Strontia Springs dam. Strontia Springs dam is upstream of Chatfield Reservoir. Centennial=s participation in the association is for the purpose of protecting the quality of water diverted to Centennial=s municipal system at Chatfield Reservoir, including water that will be stored in the future under the subject water right. F. The subject water right is part of a unified water supply system that is being constructed to supply water to Highlands Ranch for municipal and other purposes. During the diligence period, Centennial spent approximately $15,264,168 million on system-wide improvements not described above to develop its municipal water and wastewater systems, at the approximate costs indicated: raw water storage facilities, 20092014, $7,656,993 (in addition to the amount included in paragraph 4.C. above); raw water source of supply, 2009, 2010 and 2014, $336,130; Denver Basin wells, 2009-2012 and 2014, $235,127; wastewater treatment plant improvements, 2009 and 2010, $11,410; water infrastructure, 2010, 2011 and 2013, $323,590; wastewater infrastructure, 2012-2014, $6,617,470; treated water pump stations, 2012, $83,448. G. During the diligence period, Centennial expended in excess of $2 million in legal and engineering fees and costs, prosecuting the applications in Case Nos. 04CW271, 06CW202, 07CW62, 08CW20, 09CW76, 09CW180, 10CW171, 11CW24, 11CW129, 11CW130, 11CW171, 11CW244, 12CW119, 12CW184, 12CW199, 12CW291 and 13CW3029, among others, and participating as an objector in various Water Court cases to protect its water rights, including the subject water right, from injury due to claims of other water users. 5. If claim to make absolute - Water applied to beneficial use: Not applicable. 6.

14CW3173 United Water and Sanitation District, acting by and through the United Water Acquisition Enterprise (“United” or the “Applicant”), c/o Robert Lembke, 8301 East Prentice Ave., #100, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111, (303) 775-1005. APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL WATER RIGHT FOR DIVERSION TO STORAGE IN HIGHLANDS RESERVOIR IN ADAMS, ARAPAHOE, DENVER, DOUGLAS, ELBERT, MORGAN AND WELD COUNTIES. Please send all pleadings and correspondence to: Tod J. Smith, Esq., LAW OFFICE OF TOD J. SMITH, LLC, 2919 Valmont Rd., Suite 205, Boulder, Colorado 80301, tod@tjslaw.com (Attorney for Applicant). Description of Conditional Appropriative Water Right 2.1. Background. In Case No. 13CW3182 (which has been consolidated with Case Nos. 13CW3180 and 13CW3183), United seeks a conditional appropriative water right for storage in Highlands Reservoir. Highlands Reservoir will be an off-channel reservoir located in the NW1/4 of Section 32, Township 1 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The Reservoir is described in more detail in paragraph 2 of the application in Case No. 13CW3182. The claimed points of diversion in Case No. 13CW3182 for the Highlands Reservoir are: (1) the United Diversion Facility No. 3, which diverts from the east bank of the South Platte River in the SW1/4 of Section 26, Township 1 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado, located 1,636 feet east of the west line and 1,531 feet north of the south line of said Section 26; and (2) the Burlington Canal Headgate which is, pursuant to a changed point of diversion decreed in Case No. 02CW403, located on the east bank of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 14, Township 3 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., City and County of Denver, Colorado. In Case No. 02CW403, the District Court, Water Division No. 1 addressed the issue of seepage gains in the Beebe Seep Canal, See Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order, Case No. 02CW403 at ¶¶ 435-446 (Sept. 5, 2008). The Court found, in part, that: Seepage and return flows [in the Beebe Seep Canal] may not be reused, but rather, are subject to appropriation and administration under the priority system as any other waters of a natural stream. See Ready Mixed Concrete Co. v. Farmers Reservoir & Irrigation Co., 115 P.3d 638, 642 (Colo. 2005).

See also Water Supply & Storage Co., 733 P.2d at 682-83. This is true whether the seepage flows directly to the stream or is intercepted by a private ditch on its way to the stream. Ready Mixed Concrete, 115 P.3d at 642. Those waters are available for and subject to appropriation and administration under the priority system just as other waters of the natural stream.

Comstock v. Ramsey, 55 Colo. 244, 25559, 133 P. 1107, 1111 (Colo. 1913). Id. at ¶ 436. The Water Court also found that “the amount of the seepage gain [in the Beebe Seep Canal] averages 1,200 to 1,300 af per year from 1927-2005.” Id. at ¶ 438. See also Order re: Englewood’s Motion for Determination of Question of Law, Case No. 10CW306, District Court, Water Division No. 1 (March 13, 2014).

2.2. Nature of Claim. By this application, United seeks to add point(s) of diversion from the Beebe Seep Canal for delivery of water to storage in Highlands Reservoir.

2.3. Additional Point(s) of Diversion for Highlands Reservoir. Point(s) of diversion from the Beebe Seep Canal for delivery of water to storage in Highlands Reservoir may be located at one, two or all of the following locations: 2.3.1. In the NW1/4 of NE1/4 of Section 31, Township 1 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. 2.3.2. In the SE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 31, Township 1 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. 2.3.3. In the NE1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 31, Township 1 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. 2.4. Date of Appropriation. December 31, 2013. 2.5.

How Appropriation Was Initiated. The applicant filed an application for a storage water right in Highlands Reservoir on December 31, 2013, in Case No. 13CW3082. United’s Board of Directors passed a Resolution approving the filing of this application for additional points of diversion of Highlands Reservoir which is attached to this application as Exhibit 1.

2.6. Date Water First Applied to Beneficial Use. Not applicable, conditional water right. 2.7. Amount Claimed. As described in paragraph 2.4 of the application in Case No. 13CW3182. 2.8. Rate of Flow. 15 cfs for each point of diversion, and/or 15 cfs combined. 2.9. Source of Supply. Water accruing to the Beebe Seep Canal throughout the length of the Canal from Barr Lake to the point(s) of diversion.

2.10. Uses. United seeks the right to use the water diverted to storage from the points identified in paragraph 2.3 above, for the uses described in paragraph 2.8 of the application in Case No. 13CW3182. 3.

The Applicant does not seek any changes, modifications or amendments to the claims made in the application in Case No. 13CW3182, except for the addition of point(s) of diversion described in this application. 4. The Applicant intends to seek to consolidate this case with Case No. 13CW3182 (which has been consolidated with Case Nos. 13CW3180 and 13CW3182), and will recognize the applicability of statements of opposition filed in that case to this application without the

Smith, Esq., LAW OFFICE OF TOD J. SMITH, LLC, 2919 Valmont Rd., Suite 205, Boulder, Colorado 80301, tod@tjslaw.com, (Attorney for Applicant). 2. Description of Conditional Appropriative Rights of Exchange 2.1. Background. In Case No. 13CW3183 (which has been consolidated with Case Nos. 13CW3180 and 13CW3182), United seeks a conditional storage right in the 70 Ranch Reservoir, which will be located in the S1/2 of Section 3, Township 4 North, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M. and a portion of the NE1/4 of Section 10, Township 4 North, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M. in Weld County, Colorado. In that case, United also seeks a conditional appropriative water right for diversion and delivery through the Haren Pipeline to recharge in the Haren Recharge Site.

Historical use information: A map showing the approximate locations of the specific parcels of land historically irrigated by the Subject Water Rights is attached as Exhibit C. Aurora does not intend to quantify the lawful historical use of the Brantner water rights on all lands under the Brantner Ditch, but rather only the use attributable to the Subject Water Rights. A summary of the historical diversions for beneficial use pursuant to the priorities described in Paragraph 2.a.vi. is attached as Exhibit D. 3.

Plan of Substitution. a. In connection with the change of water rights described above, Aurora will have return flow replacement obligations resulting from the historical use of the Subject Water Rights.

In addition to water diverted pursuant to the priorities identified in Paragraph 2.a.vi., Aurora may use water from other water rights it owns or controls to meet such replacement obligations. Consequently, the point at which replacement is required pursuant to this plan of substitution will be the locations along the South Platte River at which the replacement obligations must be met. In general, these locations are bounded by the following points, although further engineering may reveal that the reaches actually affected are smaller: i. South Platte River - Upstream Point: Approximately one-half mile upstream of the 168th Avenue crossing of the South Platte River in the NW/4 of Section 6, T1S, R66W. ii. South Platte River Downstream Point: At the confluence of Little Dry Creek and the South Platte River in the NE/4 of Section 12, T2N, R67W. iii.

Big Dry Creek - Upstream Point: Near the point at which the Brantner Ditch crosses Big Dry Creek in the NE/4 of Section 28, T1N, R67W. iv. Big Dry Creek - Downstream Point: At the confluence of Big Dry Creek and the South Platte River in the SW/4 of Section 6, T1N, R66W. v. Little Dry Creek - Upstream Point: Approximately 2 miles northeast of where the Brantner Ditch crosses Little Dry Creek in the SE/4 of Section 35, T2N, R67W. vi. Little Dry Creek - Downstream Point: At the confluence of Little Dry Creek and the South Platte River in the NE/4 of Section 12, T2N, R67W. b. Water rights to be used for substitution: Aurora may use any fully consumable water derived from the exercise of the rights identified on Exhibit E hereto, including without limitation treated municipal effluent and lawn irrigation return flows resulting from a previous use of such water, to meet its replacement obligations. c. Substituted water will be released at or upstream from the location at which the replacement obligation must be met. To the extent substituted water is released upstream from the location at which the replacement obligation must be met, appropriate transit losses will be assessed. d. In the operation of this plan of substitution, Aurora will not be creating a depleted reach of any natural stream. Therefore, this plan of substitution is not an appropriative right. The locations from which Aurora may release water pursuant to this plan are the following: i. Gilcrest Reservoir Outlet located in the SE/4 NE/4 of Section 26, T4N, R67W, 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. ii. The outlet for Aurora-Everist Reservoir Complexes No. 1 and 2, located in the SW/4 NE/4 of Section 30, T2N, R66W, 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. iii.
