cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Don’t tell Gage Hecht that working in weather conditions like rain, sleet or snow is reserved strictly for mail carriers. The 17-year-old from Parker has spent recent years working his way up the national junior Cyclo-cross circuit, but in the last four months has catapulted himself into the company of the world’s elite. He made international headlines for his surprise win at the UCI Junior Race at Koksijde in Belgium, the first time an American has even Cyclist continues on Page 9
What is Cyclo-cross? Cyclo-cross courses are typically off road, but portions of pavement are included in some routes. Riders encounter grass, dirt, mud, gravel, sand, and a mess of other conditions. The races are based on a set time and measured by the number of laps, not distance. Depending on the category, a race can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. In most cases, officials wait to see how quickly riders complete the first lap before deciding how many total laps will be completed. The twisting courses are 1.55 miles to 2.17 miles long and typically include barriers and other features that necessitate hopping both off and back onto the bike.

The Town of Parker is giving a homebased drug and alcohol treatment facility three weeks to shape up or ship out. Attorneys acting on behalf of the town sent a cease-and-desist letter Feb. 13 to David and Amber Kuminka, the owners of a home on Parliament Way in the Rowley Downs subdivision. The house was rented last fall to Community Recovery of Colorado, a California-based business that operates sober-living houses, and neighbors have been concerned about excessive vehicle traffic, parking issues and homeowners’ association violations. Residents in western Elbert County living near a separate facility run by the same company have also been challenging the legality of the treatment center. The Sky Rim HOA has threatened a lawsuit against the owners of that home to stop what they say is an illegal commercial enterprise in a residential area. The Town of Parker’s letter says Community Recovery of Colorado didn’t go through the proper protocols before opening its facility on Parliament Way, but the homeowners who rented out their home have until March 13 to file a use-by-specialreview application. Chris Bathum, the owner of Community Recovery of Colorado, sent a letter to the town in early January stating his intent — but not asking for approval — to operate the sober-living houses. “The residences are simple cooperative housing that support the people in treatment. They qualify as a residential use of the property, not a commercial use,” the letter says. “This has long precedence in Colorado and federal law and is similar to what might be called a sober living house. Treatment does not occur at the residence.” Parker’s cease-and-desist notice to the Kuminkas says “the town has no record of you or anyone on your behalf seeking approval for the use of the property as a ‘sober Sober continues on Page 9
Parker feed store founder dies at 81 Hermann Schacht lives, leaves in memorable fashion By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Anyone interested in leaving a lasting legacy in this world would be wise to follow in the footsteps of Hermann Schacht. The founder of Parker Feed & Western Supply, one of the longeststanding businesses in the town’s history, succumbed to prostate cancer Jan. 12 after a seven-year battle. A memorial service in his honor drew more than 400 relatives, friends and dedicated customers. They spoke of Schacht’s devotion to his family and the shop he opened in 1971 with his wife, Wan-
da, along a largely-vacant stretch of North Highway 83, more commonly known these days as South Parker Road. Nineteen years earlier, he had emigrated from Germany to America with little more than $2 in his pocket. His tale of opportunity and prosperity is the definition of the American Dream. It’s not only Schacht’s storied life that’s worth celebrating. The aweinspiring way in which Schacht — whose given first name was Guenter but went by Hermann, his middle name — departed this world was befitting, almost magical, like the final scenes in the whimsical Tim Burton film “Big Fish.” It was a send-off for the ages, and Schacht seemed to know precisely when he was leaving, says his daughter Debby Schacht, who runs the family business along with her mother and brother, Tom. After
receiving hospice care, he decided in mid-December to spend the final weeks of his life in his Elizabeth home, and a constant stream of well-wishers came by to visit. Hermann Schacht was grateful for the chance to say farewell. “He would share this little tidbit of wisdom or tell a story or thank them for their friendship,” Debby Schacht said. “He told them how much he loved them.” On the Saturday prior to what would have been his 82nd birthday, he spent a pleasant day with good company, drinking coffee and eating cake. But Hermann Schacht made it clear to his wife he wouldn’t be around for his birthday. “He said, `I need to say goodbye. I’m going to be leaving in a couple of days,’ ” his daughter said. “He knew Schacht continues on Page 9

Wish Week off to rousing start Rock Canyon event benefits Parker elementary student By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rock Canyon High School kicked off its annual Wish Week with a rally so loud and spirited it astounded the Wish Week family. “We’re just overwhelmed,” said Jennifer Griffin, whose son Jeremy was chosen as this year’s Rock Canyon Wish Week child. Jeremy, who has been diagnosed with lymphoma, is a 7-year-old Mountain View Elementary School student who lives in Parker with his parents and sister Natalie. All were in attendance for the opening rally of RCHS’ Wish Week, which launches seven days of student-led events to raise money designed to grant Jeremy’s wish and that of other children. Jeremy’s wish is to go on a Disney cruise. RCHS has repeatedly shattered national records with its weeklong Make-A-Wish Colorado fundraiser. Last year, it raised $72,500 as part of the foundation’s Kids for Wish Kids program, eclipsing its previous record 2013 tally of $60,500. Teacher Tony Koy reminded the students the week isn’t a competition. “This week is about what we can give to somebody else,” he said. Students in matching blue Wish Week T-shirts cheered and stamped in unison during the assembly, shaking the gymnasium bleachers so hard they made principal Andy Abner cheerfully nervous. Jennifer Griffin frequently dabbed at her eyes and Jeremy smiled as a video about his diagnosis and generous spirit played during the assembly. “I super hate cancer,” Jeremy said during the video. The week’s events include benefit dinners at area restaurants, a dodgeball tour-

Jeremy will be there for several of the events. “It was amazing,” said Jeremy’s father Mike, smiling at Jeremy as he played quietly with a dinosaur Lego after the assembly.
“He takes after my shy side.” The school held its first Wish Week in 2010, and it’s become the most anticipated week of the year. To date, RCHS has raised more than $230,000 and granted 33 wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.

School leaders continue capital-needs outreach District gathering feedback on resolving building issues By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District has reached out to more than 40 community groups in the last few weeks about its long and growing list of capital improvement needs. The district is soliciting feedback to guide it in finding the best way to finance the more than $275 million in work needed over the next five years. “Our buildings are safe, but our systems are aging,” DCSD construction project manager Annette Ernst told the Lone Tree City Council Feb. 17. The average school district building is 19 years old. The oldest is Douglas County High School in Castle Rock at 53 years old. Of its 84 school district facilities, 42 per-
cent are deemed in need of significant capital improvements, with five categorized at “high risk of component failure.” Components are the major parts of a building’s infrastructure system, and include mechanical chillers, boilers, fire alarm systems, elevators, roofs and transformers, among other high-dollar items. Just 27 facilities are considered in good condition, according to DCSD. The schools with the highest level of estimated need are all high schools, and include Chaparral and Ponderosa in Parker, Castle Rock’s Douglas County, and Highlands Ranch, Mountain Vista and ThunderRidge in Highlands Ranch. But that’s mainly because the high schools are so much larger than the district’s other buildings. “Our typical high schools have approximately 250,000 square feet as compared to a typical elementary school with 54,000 square feet,” district spokeswoman Paula Hans wrote in an email. “There is also much more infrastructure in the building compo-
PARKER NEWS IN A HURRY E-470 releases traffic, toll revenue figures Traffic increased for the fifth straight year on E-470 in 2014. The number of vehicles using the toll way was up 13.6 percent over 2013, according to the E-470 Public Highway Authority, which released unaudited 2014 year-end traffic and toll revenue figures. They showed that transactions went from 58.4 million to 66.4 million, 1 percent higher than the private tolling authority’s projection. E-470 broke its all-time single-day traffic record in 2014 with 250,165 transactions on Dec. 19. The prior record, set on May 24, 2013, was 225,378 transactions. That number was exceeded 48 times during 2014. The rise in traffic, coupled with a 2014 toll increase, resulted in a 16.4 percent, or $21.2 million increase. E-470 collected about $150.4 million in net toll revenues. “We attribute the 2014 growth to a much stronger Colorado economy, in-
creased development in the E-470 corridor and record passenger traffic at Denver International Airport, which is served by E-470,” said E-470 Executive Director John McCuskey. E-470 has $1.6 billion in outstanding bond debt.
New libraries closer to becoming reality
Since Douglas County Libraries announced its building campaign, No Leaf Unturned, in 2013, it has made considerable progress toward the realization of new libraries in Castle Pines, Lone Tree and Parker. The libraries are a response to each community’s growth and demand for library amenities, spaces and services. The projects will be implemented by the library district’s contractors, which are known for innovation, experience in building public Hurry continues on Page 5
nents of a high school than at an elementary school. Thus, there is a lot more capital to renew at our high schools since they are larger.” DCSD sees the need for an addition to Castle View High School, more preschool rooms and construction of a special education facility. Many of its 300 school buses have logged more than 400,000 miles, and several are more than two decades old. Rapidly changing technology and fire and safety requirements require near-constant investment and upgrades. And the current student population of about 64,000 is expected to double by 2040. Among its options, DCSD could ask taxpayers to continue a mill levy that otherwise would expire this year. If voters approved the proposal, their school tax bill would remain unchanged instead of dropping by about $36 a year. “It’s a unique option in which you could issue up to about $220 million in new bonds without impacting the tax bill for the aver-
age homeowner,” said DCSD budget director Scott Smith. The district is considering other options as well, and will present feedback from its recent meetings to the school board in April. School board president Kevin Larsen said the board hasn’t yet focused on a preferred approach. “We’ll be checking in with long-range planning, finding out the feedback and determining what the pulse is out there,” he said. Members of DCSD’s Long Range Planning Committee have for years warned the board about deteriorating conditions in its buildings, and say the $275 million in unfunded capital needs grows by $35 million each year the issues aren’t addressed. If DCSD opts to put a question to voters, it would appear on the Nov. 3 ballot, along with questions to elect three school board members. The current terms of Larsen, Craig Richardson and Rich Robbins expire in November.

An important lesson in history
Miep Gies, one of the unsung heroes of the Holocaust, will be portrayed by former Littleton Public Schools teacher Judith Winnick during a gathering at 6:30 p.m. March 10 at Ruth Memorial Chapel in downtown Parker. Gies, a petite and humble Catholic woman, hid Anne Frank and her Jewish family in Amsterdam during World War II. Gies provided them with food and other necessities. She linked them to the outside world and
her emotional support gave them a beacon of hope at great personal risk. She was born in 1909 and died in the Netherlands in 2010 at the age of 100. Winnick taught in the Littleton Public Schools for 25 years. She turned her creative energies to Miep Gies in 2013, unearthing every fact and nuance about Gies to dive into character. After Winnick’s monologue, the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions. Why did this brave woman risk her life to save others? How did she overcome the hardships she faced during the war? What gave her the inner strength to do the right thing?

Colorado residents are first to ask feds to block legal pot Owners of a horse farm and a hotel sue the state By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press
Colorado already is being sued by two neighboring states for legalizing marijuana. Now, the state faces groundbreaking lawsuits from its own residents, who are asking a federal judge to order the new recreational industry to close. The owners of a mountain hotel and a southern Colorado horse farm argue in a pair of lawsuits filed Feb. 19 in U.S. District Court in Denver that the 2012 marijuanalegalization measure has hurt their property and that the marijuana industry is stinky and attracts unsavory visitors. The lawsuits are the first in a state that has legalized recreational or medical marijuana in which its own residents are appealing to the federal government to block pot laws. “It is a bedrock principle of the Unit-
ed States Constitution that federal law is the supreme law of the land,’’ said David Thompson, a lawyer representing the plaintiffs. The lawsuits are also the first to claim that federal racketeering laws allow them to win damages from pot businesses that flout federal law. The plaintiffs have not specified amounts they would seek. Experts say the racketeering approach is a new one. “If these lawsuits are successful, it could be devastating for the industry,” said Sam Kamin, a University of Denver law professor who helped craft Colorado’s pot regulations. “But it will be very difficult for the plaintiffs to prove damages directly attributable to the marijuana industry.” Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman released a statement saying she would “defend the state’s marijuana laws and our clients” if the lawsuits go to trial. Marijuana legalization supporters say that states are free to stop enforcing certain drug laws, as long as they don’t try to overrule the federal Controlled Substances Act. “Colorado has every right to stop pun-
ishing adults for using marijuana,” said Mason Tvert, who ran Colorado’s legalization campaign and joined about a dozen other legalization supporters who marched to the state Capitol on Feb. 19. They carried signs saying, “Regulation Works!” One legalization backer, Democratic state Rep. Jonathan Singer, said the pot industry has boosted tax coffers and hurt the black market. “The sky hasn’t fallen. We’re doing the right thing,” Singer said. Technically, federal law making pot illegal for any purpose remains in effect in the 23 states that have authorized its use for people with certain medical conditions. However, it’s not clear how far the federal government can go to compel states to enforce drug laws. For nearly 20 years, the U.S. Department of Justice has said that marijuana is illegal and that the federal government can enforce even small-possession crimes. However, U.S. authorities have left most enforcement to the states, saying they focus on larger drug crimes. One of the lawsuits came from the owner
of a Pueblo County horse farm, Hope Reilly, who said she’s “been horrified” to see a marijuana cultivation facility go up next door. “This land means a great deal to me,” said Reilly, who says the pot facility mars “spectacular views” of the Rocky Mountains. Also suing is the owner of a Holiday Inn, who argues that a pot shop opening nearby is keeping away families. “Marijuana businesses make bad neighbors,” the lawsuit says. “They drive away legitimate businesses’ customers, emit pungent, foul odors, attract undesirable visitors, increase criminal activity, increase traffic, and reduce property values.” Nebraska and Oklahoma also are suing Colorado for legalizing marijuana in 2012. Nine former heads of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration filed a brief Thursday with the U.S. Supreme Court supporting the two states. Colorado’s pot law “impinges on the interests of all citizens and the United States in a uniform and coherent national drug policy,” the brief says.

Dreaming of hoops, sure as shootin’ Looking at me now, you would never guess that I played basketball. Looking at me now, you would never guess that I played anything. Maybe the radio. I am not trying to make a favorable impression. I just want to remind myself now and then that I wasn’t always a potato standing in front of an easel, or a potato working on a computer. This occurred to me when I read that Lonnie Porter, head basketball coach at Regis University for 38 years, is retiring. The article tells about his first basketball — it had laces — and the outdoor playing conditions in the winter in Indianapolis. As we get closer to March Madness, it just seems like I could use a little reminiscing. My sister was a high school cheerleader, and dated the star on the basketball team. My sister was a senior, and Rich was a sophomore, so there was talk. I was a junior, and desperately wanted to make the varsity in my senior year. Here’s a spoiler alert: I was the last player cut. The summer before my senior year, Rich did everything he could to improve my game. He drove us all over metro Cincinnati for pickup games with some of the city’s best players. I still hold on to that summer, 1964, with affection. Have you ever been to Cincinnati in the summertime? It’s unpleasant. My least favor-
ite weather is humidity. Are you good at something, but not very good or great? I was a good basketball player. After I was cut, I captained a team in a Sunday league, and was the league’s leading scorer. So what? It was like winning first prize at the state fair for my pigeon. But it’s a yellowed clipping that still makes me smile. I played intramurals at UCLA, where the intramural teams were exceptionally good. I loved basketball. Not as much now. The pro game not at all, and some of what I don’t like about the pros has made it down to the college level, but not all the way. Pro basketball is a lot like rugby. And dunks seem to be a big deal too often. My father was his school’s captain. Final scores would be 28-15 and 21-17. There was no such thing as a jump shot. He shot free throws underhanded, like everyone else. Much later, Wilt Chamberlain would do the same thing.
We are nearing March Madness, and it is more fun than just about anything in sports. It makes the college football playoffs and all of those ridiculous bowl games seem a little unfulfilling. My team won’t make it into the tournament this year, so I will choose another one. The neat thing is that it only takes five guys, not 22. So smaller schools, like Northern Iowa, have a chance. That can’t happen in football. One year a little school from Terre Haute, Ind., that no one had heard of, and really hasn’t been heard from since, made it all the way to the national championship game. It’s was “Hoosiers” before “Hoosiers.” (By the way, the kid who played Jimmy Chitwood, Maris Valainis, in “Hoosiers,” was cut each of the three times he tried out for his high school team.) I wore Converse All-Stars, because that’s all we had. They were white. When my father was playing, all they had was black. And our shorts looked like tighty boxers. If you’re old enough to remember: The little school from Terre Haute was Indiana State. They had a player named Bird. “Three, 2, 1, Smith from the corner. Scores!” In my sweetest dreams. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.
Leading by example is powerful If you are like me, you really enjoy it when you can see a leader leading by example. There are some who lead their families, others lead companies or teams, and still others lead communities, organizations, and associations. And yet the ones we seem to respect the most are NOT the ones who lead from afar, or give direction from the ivory tower; the ones we seem to gravitate towards are the leaders who lead from the front. In my line of work I have been truly blessed to have worked for leaders, coaches and trainers who have led by example. Men and women of character and integrity who wouldn’t ask others to do anything that they weren’t prepared to do themselves. I honestly believe that I would not have achieved success in both my personal life or my professional life had it not been for the leaders in the companies I worked for, the leaders who worked with me when I was the CEO or president, the leaders in my church, and the leaders in my community. And I say thank you to each one of them. So as you can see, I have a great appreciation for active, intentional leadership. If you are into history, one leader who led from the front, truly led by example, comes to mind: George Washington. If you haven’t read any of the books written about him, the book “1776” by David McCullough is a great place to start. But I digress, so let me get
back to our story. As I said, one of my very favorite things to observe is when managers, leaders, business owners, fathers, mothers, or others who are in a leadership role lead by example and we get to see it and witness their behavior. If we are smart enough, we may even try and emulate that behavior. And I have a recent story I would like to share with you about someone who truly leads by example. Her name is Nina Hinnendael. I happened to be skiing in Beaver Creek and had the opportunity to see for myself how Nina worked and led by example. She is a manager of a couple of “on-mountain” restaurants and actually the one person who inspired the Candy Cabin at the top of the Strawberry Park lift, chair 12 in Beaver Creek. Her attitude, smile, and work ethic speak for themselves. And as I sat there as a patron I was so impressed by the fact that even as a leader and a manager, she was
Construction-defects bill is needed fix Colorado is uniquely positioned to capitalize on numerous economic advantages that have lowered our unemployment rate, seen strong growth in several identified sectors and generated more than 70,000 new jobs in 2014, while the forecast for this year continues to trend upward. While economists predict a 2.5 percent growth rate for 2015, we are faced with an immense issue — skyrocketing housing costs. A recent analysis by Zillow showed renters would need to make $35 an hour to stay within the rule of thumb regarding share of housing costs to annual income. Denver is a desirable city for millennials who bring ideas, innovation, creativity and passion to the workplace. Our housing costs and lack of diversity threaten the very fabric of attainable and affordable options. As a leading statewide business organization, the Colorado Business Roundtable understands how important providing attainable housing is to community
cleaning tables, greeting customers, socializing with guests, and directing her staff all at the same time, and I asked her permission to write this column. You see I am also a leader. I have a staff, I work in my community, I volunteer, and I get so caught up in my responsibilities I often forget that I should also be leading by example and manage and lead like Nina, doing some more of the heavy lifting. Now, if we focus on you, yes you, you the business owner, you the vice president, you the venture capitalist, you the manager, you the leader of your family, are you leading by example or are you relying solely on what you accomplished in the past? That is one of the challenges that we have, managers and leaders who have met with success but have forgotten what got us there in the first place … hard work, character, and effort. And we know that talent without effort breeds mediocrity. How about you? Are you a Nina? Do you lead from the front and by example? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we remember what leadership is all about, it really will be a better than good week.

Last year, the county lost out on $5 million dollars due to urban renewal projects. Yet LIFT, our urban renewal board, keeps saying that our taxing entities won’t be affected. The county is currently challenging Littleton’s urban renewal plans in arbitration. We are also waiting on a court decision on why agricultural land (south of Aspen Grove) was included in the Santa Fe area when that is against state law. Littleton Strong’s contributors of $70,000 consist mostly of developers and real estate professionals. This suggests to me that developers and Realtors are afraid of losing out on their corporate welfare — the tax increment financing that would benefit developers but would affect our city’s taxing districts for 25 years. Opponents of 300 complain of the cost for an election every time LIFT would want to use condemnation, eminent domain or special tax financing. How does that compare to the millions of dollars over 25 years of tax dollars being taken from our county, schools and parks? How will it impact the general fund that pays for our museum, fire and police, among

been on the podium. Hecht is now the guy to beat. His journey hasn’t been without its obstacles — literally. Courses can wind through steep and jagged forestland to smooth and grassy plains. Ice, deep sand and mud are par for the course. Hecht’s racing jersey stays cleaner than those of his competitors, however, because he’s usually in front of them.

cently placed fourth in the world championships in the Czech Republic. His sudden elevation to the top of a growing sport, especially the victory in Belgium that cemented his new status, shocked even Hecht. During a few-week break in February at his home in Parker, Hecht described the exhilarating feeling of barreling over treacherous terrain. “It’s an extremely hard sport because of the pace we’re trying to push through the dirt and the mud,” he said. “If it’s super slippery, you can go down five to 10 times if it’s a rougher day. It takes a lot of perseverance.” It’s been difficult for Americans to break through in a cycling discipline dominated by Europeans, which makes Hecht’s rise to fame all the more impressive. Competitors have started to take notice, as have the sport’s top sponsors, and Hecht’s name has
been on the lips of many in the Cyclo-cross community. “He was a virtual nobody on the world stage, and now he’s in every cycling magazine,” said his dad, Bruce Hecht, who has helped train and coach his son. “He’s been nicknamed ‘America’s Hopes and Dreams.’ ” While it’s a lofty title to live up to, Hecht seems to relish the challenge and is nonetheless enjoying the ride, every pedal pump of it. It’s a way to test his own limits, and Hecht knows that with a schedule that has him traveling 10 months out of the year, it’s also a perfect chance to explore the world. “I don’t know too many other people who have the opportunity to do all of this,” said Hecht, who is taking classes through Arapahoe Community College. Hecht has been learning about aviation and he aspires to be a commercial airline pi-
lot if cycling doesn’t work out. But with sponsors, friends, family and his strong faith behind him, Hecht has his sights set on going pro. In the meantime, he wants to continue his ascent up the American and European junior ranks and help push to make Cyclocross an Olympic sport. He has no plans to slow down. During the off-season, Hecht is planning to dive into road cycling. The former Parker Core Knowledge student has been racing since the age of 9 and the experience is beginning to show. The training and encouragement from his dad, a former Cat 3 competitive road racer in the early 1990s, are paying off, too. Bruce Hecht readily admits that his son surpassed his abilities years ago. “He took me out by the time he was 13 years old,” he said.
quires the town’s approval, and is “not a use by right,” according to the letter from the attorneys. Parker’s municipal code for allowed uses in the suburban residential district, of which Rowley Downs is a part, states that it is zoned for single-family dwellings and “therefore is subject to the definition of `family,’ ” which the code defines as “two or more persons related by blood or marriage, or a group not exceeding five persons (excluding servants) living together as a single housekeeping unit in one structure on one lot.” A town spokeswoman confirmed that Community Recovery is being given time to
comply. “If an application is not received on or before March 13, 2015, the town will be forced to take appropriate enforcement action,” says the letter from Corey Hoffman, an attorney hired by the town to provide guidance on the issue. Tammy Alcock, an attorney representing the Sky Rim Homeowners’ Association in Elbert County, said the primary concern is not shutting down the facility, but making sure it is in compliance with HOA declarations. “From the association’s standpoint, all we’re doing at the moment is following our covenant enforcement policy,” she said.
The Sky Rim HOA has criticized Elbert County for not stepping in, but a spokeswoman says the county intervened long ago. Community Recovery is being required to get a special-use permit, said Kyle Fenner, director of community and development services for Elbert County. “We didn’t go through and do a cease-and desist and police powers and board up the building,” she said. “We said `we’re giving you time to comply,’ just like Parker.” Some Parker residents have expressed anger at the efforts to remove the sober living houses and said that those seeking help are being treated unfairly.

Schacht said. “It was unbelievable. It was so peaceful.” Before he departed, his wife and children promised to take care of the feed store, which still stands in its original location at 11703 North Highway 83.

passed in 2001 and has undergone several amendments since. Most cite the changes passed in 2003 and 2007 that have caused owner-occupied, multi-family housing to shrink from 23 percent of the marketplace to 3.1 percent in 2014. While we can spend a lot of time looking at what got us to where we are today, we do not prefer to look in the rearview mirror but find creative, bipartisan, pragmatic ways to fix this issue. Senate Bill 177 is a bipartisan repair or fix in both the House and Senate that has done exactly what needed to happen: stakeholders sitting down and listening to all parties and learning from proposed legislation the past two years. The COBRT is proud to be a part of the Homeowner Opportunity Alliance, a large, diverse coalition of business leaders, trade associations, chambers of commerce and community leaders. The Colorado Business Roundtable strongly feels that homeowner rights and protections will not be weakened or restricted by the passage of SB177. Senate Bill 177 ensures that construction issues within a condo or townhouse community are not only addressed fairly and quickly but take into account the rights of homeowners and respect the members of the association community. While every homeowner deserves the right to have, in most cases, their biggest investment protected and repaired in the case of an issue, SB177 stops the current practice in which a small number of owners — often a simple majority of a homeowners association board — can enter into legal action without the knowledge or authorization of the majority of homeowners. There are cases where homeowners have transferred or attempted to refinance their home and been told, much to their surprise, that they cannot because of pending legal action. This is not only egregious but morally
wrong, in our view. According to state Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, DCommerce City, SB177 differs from previous legislation in that it adds language requiring mandatory mediation and arbitration prior to filing a construction defects claim. This dispute resolution, as a way to repair or cure issues prior to initiating a lawsuit, creates a more favorable market for insurers, who cite the threat of litigation as a primary driver for the high cost of insuring owner-occupied, multi-family housing options. Alternative dispute resolution is a legally enforceable, effective, less costly way and — just as important — a less time-consuming method of resolving disputes. We want to stress the importance of creating a workable resolution process that is fair to homeowners. One that protects their rights, which fosters conditions that will allow the building of diverse and affordable housing options, and encourages new developments near light rail and transit stations. The Colorado Business Roundtable values the importance of community — one made of not only first-time home buyers and the millennial generation that brings so much creativity and enthusiasm but also seniors, firefighters, law enforcement and great workers in manufacturing, energy, technology and health sciences. Locally, communities like Lakewood and Parker have passed ordinances to create a local remedy to encourage or spur needed development within the multi-family, owneroccupied space. While we are appreciative of their efforts and successes, this is an area where our elected leaders at the state level need to step up and ensure the passage of SB177. From the House and Senate sponsors to leadership and the rank and file dedicated servant leaders, there is broad-based bipartisan support. Please reach out to your legislator and encourage him or her to support the passage of this important economic and community-building legislation. Jeff Wasden, a Highlands Ranch resident, is president of the Colorado Business Roundtable. He can be reached at jwasden@cobrt.com.

Republicans move pro-fracking measure ahead of report Senate bill would bring penalties on local governments that limit drilling
especially hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. When a government makes a mineral owner’s underground property less valuable, the government should pay the owner, Republicans said. “People have a right to be compensated,” said Sen. John Cooke, RGreeley. Democrats opposed the measure, which faces almost certain defeat in the Democratic House. They argued that if mineral owners are owed money for fracking bans, then surface property owners should be owed money, too, if drilling near their homes diminishes property value. “It’s a dangerous place,” said Sen. Michael Johnston, D-Denver.
By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press
Republicans in Colorado’s Senate advanced a pro-fracking measure Feb. 20 that makes a statement in advance of a longawaited report on new limits on the oil and gas industry. The Senate bill would penalize local governments that limit drilling procedures,
Drilling has been the elephant in the room this session, with lawmakers avoiding the divisive topic until the release next week of a task force report on the dilemma. The task force was set up to broker compromise between the oil and gas industry and critics who say cities and counties should be free to place strict limits on drilling practices. For the last few years, lawmakers have tried and failed to agree on giving local communities more say in drilling regulations. Democrats expressed optimism that the task force would bring suggestions to make both sides happy. “Hopefully, the task force will
come up with something real, said Sen. Matt Jones, D-Louisville. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who has sided with the energy industry against local fracking bans, assembled the group last year to avoid ballot measures on the question. The task force submits recommendations to lawmakers Feb. 27. The GOP penalty bill won preliminary approval on a partisan voice vote. One more formal vote is required this week before the measure moves to the House, which has repeatedly rejected similar measures in the past.

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com A little girl wants her peers to see how cool the Hello Kitty logo is on her brand-new shirt, said Highlands Ranch author Debi Smith-Racanelli. Whereas a tween wants her peers to see how cool she looks in her brand-new shirt with the Hello Kitty logo. Girls between the ages of 9 and 12 go through a lot in these tween years, SmithRacanelli said, as they transition from being a little girl to a teen. They start puberty, go from elementary school to middle school, and friend issues, and the drama around that, begins to take center stage, she said.

Paperback versions are also available for purchase on Amazon. • Buy it from the Tattered Cover, 9315 Dorchester St., Highlands Ranch. “Your daughter’s moods and attitude begin to change,” Smith-Racanelli said. “BFFs come and go, temptations and negative influences are introduced and multiply, social media hits their smartphones.” Tween continues on Page 16

Ken d a l l sa y s:
What is the hardest part about being a tween girl?
De b i sa ys: What is the hardest part about raising a tween girl?
You feel like your parents are still treating you like a little kid, but you don’t want to be treated that way, so you try to not be controlled.
Finding the balance of letting her grow up and start to find her own way, but making sure that you’re still involved and able to support her growth.
What are girls most challenged with in their tween years?
What are parents most challenged with in a tween daughter?
Looking and acting cool for peers. Cool for tweens is people looking up to you and wanting to be your friend. They see the older kids having fun and hanging out together and they kind of want that, so they try to act like them, thinking all their peers will think of them as cool. Should a parent worry if they feel their tween is either too immature or too mature? I think parents should worry more if their tween is more immature than her peers, because she has more of a chance of getting bullied for it. Why is it important to pay attention to tweens? Now, with all the technology and social media, some of the things that people post are just awful and inappropriate. Parents are oblivious to that. They might not realize that people would put certain things on social media. If the parents are aware, then it’s easier for them to stop it, and stop their kids from seeing it.
When people have kids in elementary school, they have to be super-vigilant because they require a lot of supervision. Parents of tweens sometimes make the mistake of giving them too much freedom, rather than making that transition with them. Should a parent worry if they feel their tween is either too immature or too mature? Yes. If a tween is too immature, I would worry that the immaturity would allow them to be too easily influenced. If they’re too mature, I would worry that they’re at risk of becoming involved with things they are definitely not ready for. Why is it important to pay attention to tweens? Parents are not aware of all the influences that surround tweens — from the negative media content to the kids talking about drugs and alcohol to the crazy amount of stuff they see on YouTube and social media. Even if their kids aren’t involved in those things, I think parents would be shocked at just how much their kids are actually exposed to.

Five distinguished journalists have been chosen to be inducted into the Denver Press Club Hall of Fame during the 20th Annual Denver Press Club Hall of Fame Banquet, beginning at 7 p.m. Sept.18. The class of 2015 includes photographer Rich Clarkson, political reporter (and, for my money, the best reporter in Colorado) Lynn Bartels, architecture writer Mary Chandler and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Mike Keefe. The legendary Damon Runyon, for whom the club’s Damon Runyon Award is named, is being inducted posthumously. “This is a great class of inductees, with one of the nation’s top sports photographers, a top-notch political writer, a reporter who knows everything about Denver architecture and a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist,” said Bruce Goldberg, president of the club’s board of directors. “We look forward to a great night of nostalgia and honoring solid journalism.” The banquet will be held at the club’s landmark building at 1330 Glenarm in Denver. Seating is limited and this event is always sold out. To purchase a ticket, go to www.blacktie-colorado.com, and click on Sept. 18. Tickets cost $65 per person.

Demanding story requires sensitivity ‘Next to Normal’ offers rock score, tough topic By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com From the start, we commend Town Hall Arts Center for producing a Pulitzer Prize drama, with a rock score — about a difficult subject. “Next to Normal,” by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, was nominated for nine 2009 Tony Awards and won three: Best Original Score, Best Orchestration and Best Performance by an Actress (Alice Ripley). In 2010, it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It is sensitively directed by the Henry Award-winning Nick Sugar, who again shows his expertise in telling a demanding story. In his notes, he quotes New York Times critic Ben Brantley, who observed: “It is something much more than a feel-good musical; it is a feel everything musical.” “Next to Normal” explores the dynamics of a suburban household that is coping with the mental illness of the mother, Diana. The
IF YOU GO “Next to Normal” plays through March 15 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays and Feb. 28; 6:30 p.m. on March 8. Tickets cost $23 to $42, 303-794-2787, ext. 5, or townhallartscenter.org.
mix of great love and ongoing response to crisis keeps the audience on edge throughout the production. But that audience is also treated to a really beautiful score and thoughtful lyrics. The script illustrates the unevenness of the day-to-day life of everyone affected, but particularly the rough time Diana has trying to hold herself together for her family. Cast members bring strong voices. Lamb’s and Langhoff’s blend especially well. Jacquie Jo Billings gives a very strong performance as the couple’s teenage daughter Natalie, who wants to take control of her own life and is fearful that she may inherit the illness. Ethan Knowles is

Lomax remembered in concert tour Folklorist collected music from all around nation By Sonya Ellingboe

He collected songs in the Mississippi Delta, Appalachia, oil fields, the Caribbean, Europe, North Africa and from Americans like Jelly Roll Morton, Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Muddy Waters and many more over long years — and archived them in the Library

Tween Continued from Page 12
Smith-Racanelli, 42, worked as a psychologist for about 20 years, and her work always seemed to gravitate toward parenting.
Parker Continued from Page 12
February 27, 2015 “Parenting became my calling without knowing it,” she said. When she decided to take some time off to spend with her tween daughter, Kendall, she missed contributing her parenting advice in the community, and decided to write “Between Baby Dolls and Boyfriends: How to Successfully Navigate Your Daughter’s Tween Years,” as a way to reach out to other parents.
Kendall, who is now 14, had a big role in the writing process. She had free rein to comment and add her opinion on the topic at the end of every chapter in the book, Smith-Racanelli said. The book can provide some insight for parents of boys, Smith-Racanelli said, as some of the topics are universal, such as drugs and alcohol, bullying, pop culture and social media,

Lakewood arts program moves
Forced to vacate its Union Boulevard location last fall to make way for luxury apartments, 40 West Arts District, the long-running Lakewood Arts program opted to move next to Casa Bonita in the Lamar Station Plaza so the 27-year-old nonprofit could reside in the heart of the thriving arts district, according to a story in The Denver Post. “They’re an amazing organization and bring to the table a breadth of experience in the visual arts, both in the creativity of the artists that display with them but also the programming activities,” Bill Marino, chairman of the 40 West Arts District, told the Post. “We’re thrilled to have them.” There’s a whole new set of programming options being considered, including literary and performing arts, said Meg Quinn, council vice president. The group also wants to re-establish classrooms, get a solid revenue stream, rent the space out on occasion and have a larger gallery once the remodel is complete next month. “The new gallery is in a space with more square footage, it’s better organized and all on one level,” Quinn told the Post. “40 West will eventually have a gallery right next to ours, and being on Colfax and next to Casa Bonita, we hope will give us more visibility.” The building’s new owners, Broad Street Realty, offered to let the arts council stay lease-free for the first year.
but the experiences are targeted to girls. Writing it “was truly a passion project to support the relationship between parents and girls in order to make those transitional years better,” Smith-Racanelli said, “which hopefully carries forward into the teen years and beyond.”
Feast fit for felines The Cat Care Society’s February Feasting for Felines event will be hosted by south metro-area restaurant La Dolce Vita.

Finally, the top step Chaparral senior one of two south metro wrestlers to earn titles By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Chaparral’s Dane Drimmer escaped with the Class 5A 285-pound championship at the state wrestling tournament. Drimmer, who was third and second the past two seasons at the state tourney, won the heavyweight championship with an escape late in the third period to earn a 5-4 decision over Pine Creek’s Taylor White Feb. 21 at the Pepsi Center. Drimmer, who has a rare vision disorder called achromatopsia, found himself in a tight title match that was completely different from his first three tournament matches. Drimmer, the senior who ended the season with a 46-4 record, opened with a pin in 1:11 over Jon Engle of Fort Collins. He pinned Grandview’s Josh Vigil-Harrison in 0:49 and pinned Fruita Monument’s Clayton Voytilla in 1:14 in the semfinals. “I knew there was only a minute and three seconds left and knew I had to escape,” said Drimmer. “I was sick. My stomach wasn’t feeling well. I didn’t feel right. “I felt great about the tournament. I couldn’t ask for more my senior year. I wanted the state championship. It was mine, and I took it.” In the 106-pound title match, Ponderosa’s Hunter Matney surrendered an escape point to Pomona’s Dayton Marvel at the start of the third period and it proved costly in a 3-2 loss. Matney and Marvel were tied at 2-all heading into the final period when the Ponderosa sophomore acknowledged he was not going to challenge from the up position as Marvel stood up to gain an escape point to take the lead. The strategy was that Matney was hoping to regain the lead with a takedown. He came close twice but couldn’t get Marvel on the mat and wound up with a 44-4 season record. “I just wanted to get points in the third period,” said Matney. “He was a good scrambler and there were a couple moves I should have made. I’m happy with the season. The parade of champions was crazy. It was like a dream come true.” Drimmer and Cherry Creek’s 132-pound junior Matt Finesilver were the two state champions from south metro schools. Finesilver defeated Pomona’s Jason Romero, 11-2, to win the title. Cherry Creek’s Josh Finesilver, Matt’s twin brother, won the Class 5A, 106-pound third place match with a 9-0 decision over Dylan Martinez of Grand Junction. Josh Finesilver lost 13-4 to Matney in the semifinals. Douglas County senior Robert Gambrell was the 160-pound runner-up. Gambrell, 43-9, lost 12-4 to Grand Junction’s unbeaten senior Jacob Trujillo. ThunderRidge’s Matt Stanley also drew a tough assignment in the 195-pound championship match.

Teams seek small victories amid big losses Lessons for both sides of blowouts in high school girls basketball By Jim Benton

Heritage coach Steph Rogers encourages her players to ignore the scoreboard. Arvada coach Justin Carpenter uses team-building activities. Lopsided scores in high school basketball this season, particularly in the girls game, have presented challenges for coaches on both the winning and losing sides. It’s common to see metro-area girls games decided by 20 points or more — sometimes, a lot more. Blowout scores of 83-27, 75-8 and 52-9, just to name a few, have been recorded this season. That makes it hard for the winning coaches to have their team focus on what they have practiced and keep starters in the game. Losing coaches have to be concerned about not letting their players get embarrassed and discouraged. Rogers’ Eagles have been on both sides, notching a 43-point victory and absorbing 43- and 44-point Continental League defeats. “It’s easy to tell your team to work on dif-
ferent things if you’re playing a team that doesn’t have the talent that you do,” said Rogers, whose team finished the regular season 10-13, rebounding from winning a combined six games the past two years. “You stop pressing or trapping and work on the fundamentals of the game. “The other side is hard. I just try and tell my players during the game that I’m not looking at the score. I’m looking at us and what we’re doing, our energy and our execution. Focus on small victories within the game, being positive and trying to teach them when they do something wrong.” Lutheran’s girls have one of the best Class 3A teams in the state and during one sixgame stretch this season had an average winning margin of 43.8 points per game. Lions coach Mark Duitsman said he remembers not long ago when his team was on the losing side of lopsided games. “Sometimes there was nothing that either side could have done differently to decrease the margin of victory, but sometimes you couldn’t help but feel the score was being run up on you unnecessarily,” he said. “I promised myself at that time that if we ever found ourselves on the other end, if we ever became the heavily favored team, that we would always show respect to the game and our opponent.” Blowout continues on Page 24

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF FEB. 23, 2015
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) There could be some negative reaction to your tough stance when making a recent decision. But overall, your efforts result in wellearned recognition and all that can follow from that. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your financial situation seems confusing, even for the fiscally savvy Bovine. Maybe it’s the conflicting advice you’re getting. Check it out before things get too tangled to unknot. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A relaxed attitude goes a long way in helping you deal with any of life’s irritants that might be popping up this week. You’re also a reassuring role model for others in the same situation. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your aspect favors creativity, which should persuade you to work on your artistic projects. If time is a problem, prioritize your commitments so that your work isn’t compromised.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Scrutinize all the job offers that interest you. Most are honest and worth considering. But a few might not be completely forthcoming about what the job is and what the salary and benefits are. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) An unexpected snafu could delay the completion of a project you’re eager to finish. Find out what’s causing it, fix it, and if you need help, don’t be shy about asking for it. Good luck. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) An idea that could be helpful to you comes from an unlikely source. Listen to it. Discuss it. If necessary, adjust it. If it looks as if it might work out quite well, go ahead and use it. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Be careful about allowing someone to share a very personal secret with you. This could cause problems down the line with others who are involved in that person’s private life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A cooling down of a relationship could be the result of neglect, unintended or not. To save it from icing over, you need to warm it up with a large dose of hot Sagittarius passion. Public Notice

Girl Scout Cookies for the digital age By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Girl Scouts are learning a whole new set of skills this year with the rollout of the digital cookie. Girl Scout cookie sales began on Feb. 8, and this year, along with the traditional selling methods of door-to-door and booths at local businesses, people can now purchase cookies online. The digital cookie is meant to supplement each girl’s sale, said AnneMarie Harper, public relations director for Girl Scouts of Colorado. “We don’t expect the digital cookie to replace traditional sales,” Harper said. “(But) it’s another tool in their toolbox to help them meet their goals.” Girl Scouts learn a number of valuable skills from selling cookies, she said, and the face-to-face interaction with the public is still a key part. However, with the digital cookie, new skills are introduced. For example, Harper said, each girl designs her own website, and they are encouraged to personalize it. The girls can upload a video with their own “cookie-pitch” to market their product, she said, plus they can track their online sales. “Online sales are good if people are from out-of-state,” said Kaylee Eubanks, an 8-year-old Girl Scout in Highlands
Blowout Continued from Page 18
The boys and girls state playoffs began Feb. 24. While the games should, in general, be closer, the potential for blowouts remains, at least in the first couple of rounds.
The dilemma
Blowout victories gain national attention each year. Earlier this season, a girls coach in California was suspended for two games after Arroyo Valley defeated Bloomington High, 161-2. The Colorado High School Activities Association has not adopted a mercy rule for basketball, but leagues have been encouraged to address the issue. “So many of our coaches understand the value of high school competition,” said CHSAA assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann. “They are not looking to humili-
Ranch. “This way, you can get the cookies delivered to more people,” added her sister, Taylor Eubanks, 12, also a Girl Scout. Digital cookie is a friends-and-family sale. A person has to know a Girl Scout in order to receive an emailed invite that includes a link to the girl’s website, said Kim Foster, Girl Scout leader for troop 3869 in Highlands Ranch. “Girl Scouts keeps it as safe and secure as possible,” she said. The girls’ safety is the No. 1 priority, Harper added, and girls are not permitted to post personal information on their website, plus parents are encouraged to help monitor it. Additionally, the link ensures the individual girl gets credit for her online sales, Harper said, and “people can be assured the money stays here in Colorado,” even if the sale comes from another state. “The digital cookie allows all friends and family a way to support their Girl Scout,” she said. Digital cookie is an optional program, but it is something Girl Scouts across America have been asking for, Harper said. It has been in development for the past couple of years, she said, and although sales have only been open for about a week, as of Feb. 13, it has been very popular. “We’re excited that the girls are excited,” Harper said. “And we’re excited to see what they do with it.”
ate anybody, they are not looking to send a message by running up the score. The vast majority of coaches have empathy because they have been on both sides of these kinds of scores and they know how to address and how to develop game plans when they may be playing a foe that is overmatched by their team. They are teaching great lessons when they are doing it that way.” But trying to manage the margin isn’t easy. “You work so hard to make things automatic for your players, then you have to suddenly tell them to not play that way,” Duitsman said. “It’s easier said than done. What often gets lost in this discussion is the lack of playing time for our top rotation. Our starters have spent most of the second half of the games on the bench this semester.” Castle View girls coach Matt Hema can speak from both the winning and losing side. When his team is winning by a large margin, like 25 points or more, he’ll have the players call off the press on defense. And his starters and top reserves will generally play only three quarters of a blowout.
With the rollout of the digital cookie, Girl Scouts now have a new tool to reach their goal of cookie sales. The digital cookie is an optional program for girls to sell to friends and family online. Photo illustration
“Where gamesmanship and sportsmanship come into conflict is when coaches that are down see an opportunity to press the other team’s reserves in order to close the gap in a game that has probably already been decided with less than a quarter to play,” he said. “What does the winning team do? Allow the reserves to get pressed and taken advantage of or put starters back in to match the other team’s level of play? The other coach and parents get upset that your starters are in the game late.”
Learning lessons, having fun
Carpenter is athletic director in addition to being Arvada’s girls basketball coach. His young team won only three games this season, losing by an average of 30.5 points a game. “We have been trying to place importance on the smaller, more measurable things as opposed to the games themselves,” Carpenter said. “Things like holding the other team’s leading scorer to below her average and scoring every quarter. When we played at Valor
Christian we stopped on the way home as a team and had Chick-fil-A and ice cream sundaes. Incorporating team-building activities like that has helped.” Rock Canyon has been on the winning and losing ends of blowouts a few times this season. Junior Jaguar Sydney Smith said the big losses serve as motivation. “It just made us come back to practice and work harder,” she said after a 21-point loss to Highlands Ranch on Feb. 19. Learning to be a good winner is important, too. “Once we get up by about 15, we’ll start subbing the bench and then when we get up by about 20, most of my starters won’t play anymore,” said Chris Cureen, coach of the Cherry Creek girls team. “We can do little things, like we have to have so many passes before you can shoot the ball and you have to play a certain defense. There are ways you can play the game without it getting completely out of whack.”
