Westminster trash program proceeds, with compromise

MY NAME IS

HELEN FIKE OF THORNTON

4,000 booties and counting

About me We lived in Lakewood for thirty-seven years, and then we moved out here (to Thornton) thirteen years ago.Both of my daughters live out here, and I was taking care of my grandkids. We liked it out here; it was nice.So we sold out, and we moved here.

I crochet baby booties for a pediatrician’s office. They like to give one to each of their new babies on their first visit. I’ve been doing that for about thirteen years. I’ve crocheted almost 4,000 baby booties. (It takes me) about an hour (to crochet one pair). Those they pay me for, and I use that money and the leftover yarn to make blankets that I give to the Right to Life. And I buy yarn to make lap blankets for people in wheelchairs, and I give those to ACAN (Adams County Aging Network). I volunteer because I care about people. People are the most important thing there is, and if you can help people you should.

Not in Kansas anymore I was born and raised in Manhattan, Kansas. My parents lost their farm in the drought and had to move to town. My dad went to work as a janitor for Kansas State University. My mom was a nurse.

My sister came out here on vacation, and she loved it.

She left home and moved out here. She’s ten years older than I am. When I graduated high school, she brought me out here as a present. We toured all around Colorado, and I really liked it. So when I finished college, I moved here.

When I first moved here I lived in an apartment a block from the capital building. I worked downtown at the old Denver Dry Goods Company. It was five stories high. I don’t know if there’s anything like it anymore. They had a tea room on the top floor, and they had every kind of thing you could think of from furniture to clothing. They

The most exciting invention to me...

Is probably the automobile. It gave people access to so much more country that they could see, to being able to visit relatives. It used to be if a relative moved away, even a hundred miles, you wouldn’t see them maybe once a year. Now, someone could be five hundred miles away and you could still see them.

The City of Westminster will continue investigating a citywide trash collection program but without requiring residents to participate.

City councilors directed staff to get bids from trash haulers for a municipal curbside collection program after a marathon city council meeting Feb. 27. The potential city program continued to take criticism from residents for several hours at the Monday night meeting, with councilors ultimately adjourning well into Tuesday morning.

Councilor Anita Seitz said letting residents opt-in to the city’s trash program may be the best way to improve city services while recognizing residents’ concerns.

“While we should still be able to guarantee a lower cost, I felt like the public was clear that choice was a concern for them,” Seitz said. “We always rely on citizen input to craft the best SEE RECYCLING, P5

For Wikipedia racers, the mouse clicks count

BY TABATHA DEANS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Tucked between quiet rows of library book shelves, the race was on.

Just a few days removed from the Daytona 500, a handful of teens and tweens weren’t gunning their engines, but revving up their minds for Wikipedia racing in The Studio at the Anythink Library Wright Farms branch.

No 200 laps here, just mouse clicks — as few as possible.

Joseph McGarvey, 12, a student at Shadow Ridge Middle School, got from unicycle to elephants in two clicks; from iPhone to Pacific Ocean in one. But more challenges awaited, such as getting from Denver to polar bears or from Colorado to turkey bacon: All without typing the keywords into a search bar.

Instead, Joseph and his table mates, who included fellow Shadow Ridge student Riley Cole, 12, were winding their way from one topic to the next via hyperlinks embedded in Wikipedia articles. The “courses” were lined out on laminated cards complete with race track illustrations. The harder the challenge, the more twists and turns on the course on the card.

The Wikipedia racing program, one of many the Wright Farms Anythink branch presents as

part of its regular teen programming on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, was the brainchild of Jakob Seelig.

Seelig, a teen guide at Anythink Wright Farms, said he designed the program to be a “playful, informal lesson in broad-scope research strategies.”

The racers got the hang of it quickly at the Feb. 28 session, which didn’t surprise Seelig.

“They’re all bright kids,” he said, By navigating from one Wikipedia article to a different one, which at first glance appeared unrelated, teens were introduced to the concepts of the interconnectedness of knowledge and reverse-engineer problem solving, he said.

The goal, Seelig said, was to help teens understand that “research, no matter what they’re doing it for, can be messy and nonlinear and go in unexpected directions.”

That approach plugs right into the Anythink philosophy that is geared toward experiential learning. Wikipedia racing and all the teen-focused programs are aimed at piquing teens’ interest and then providing them the resources to “dive deeper” if they find something about which they are really passionate, Seelig said.

Suzanne McGowan, Youth Services coordinator at Anythink

Wright Farms, said the libraries’ mission statement is “we open doors for curious minds.”

That mission statement seems to be right on target, based on the enthusiasm of Joseph and his fellow Shadow Ridge students, who Seelig said are regulars in The Studio and at teen programs at the library.

Anythink has seven branches, all of which offer teen programming designed by teen guides.

Each branch has at least one teen guide who offer programs for grades six through 12, McGowan said.

At Anythink Wright Farms, there are two guides — Seelig and Rebecca Bowman.

Seelig said they provide a nice bit of yin and yang at the library, with his passion lying in tech topics and Bowman’s lying in art and do-it-yourself activities. He said they complement each other nicely and can help teens explore a wide range of topics.

What kind of topics? The Wright Farms branch upcoming teen calendar includes Next Step Computer Aided Design on March 9; making a mix tape, a flashback to the ‘80s and cassette tapes, on March 21; and button pin-making on March 28.

Participants will use software to make designs and then turn them into buttons.

Coder named as Thornton’s acting city manager STAFF REPORT

Thornton Deputy City Manager and former Community Development Director Jeff Coder will step up as acting city manager on March 21, members of the city council agreed last week.

The city council voted unanimously to name Coder the interim Coder manager, replacing outgoing City Manager Jack Ethredge while the city searches for permanent replacement.

“We are certainly fortunate to have someone on our staff with Jeff ’s qualifications and experience,” Thornton Mayor Heidi

Williams said. “The city council is very confident in his ability to step in and lead the city while the search for a city manager proceeds.”

Ethredge announced his retirement in January, after 32 years as the top manager and director of city utilities.

Coder has been with the city of Thornton since 1996. He started in Thornton as the community development director and was promoted to deputy city manager for city development in 2000. Coder currently oversees operations in planning, building inspection, code compliance, GIS, neighborhood services, regional transportation and SEE INTERIM, P11

Celebrating the Persian New Year in Colorado Westminster acknowledges holiday known as Noruz

BY AMY THOMSON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Each year on the Persian New Year, Westminster resident Nushin Farjadi recalls just what it’s like to touch history.

When she was 11, her parents brought her to the Iranian city of Shiraz to celebrate the holiday, known as Noruz.

Shiraz is near the Persepolis, the towering pillars and remains of the First Persian Empire. It was where royalty historically honored the holiday.

Walking amongst the intricately carved ruins of the Persepolis on the day of the Persian New Year, Farjadi said she felt like she was traveling through time.

“I knew that 2,500 years ago, Noruz was celebrated on these exact stairs that I’m standing,” she said.

Today, Farjadi celebrates the holiday at home in Colorado, and she’s asked the city of Westminster to help her.

The Westminster City Council plans to pass a proclamation during

public policy decisions. This was something I heard and heard again, so I thought it was best to include it in our proposal.”

Now Westminster city staff needs to meet with councilors to plot the next steps. City risk manager Martee Erichson said councilors are expected to direct staff how to proceed within the next two months.

“It may be more of a question and answer session with staff,” she said.

“What do they want us to get, what should it look like, do they have a price range in mind? Then we can go back and begin to negotiate with the

the March 13 city council meeting.

“This is just one example of how we try to celebrate diversity and inclusion,” Westminster City Councilor Anita Seitz said. “The goal is to recognize that our diversity is a real asset and that we can learn from each other. That’s what makes us stronger.”

Traditionally, Noruz is celebrated on the exact moment of the vernal equinox, marking the first day of spring. No matter what time of day or night, families and friends will gather for a celebration to hug and salute the New Year.

The 14-day holiday commemorates shedding the unwanted layers of the past and starting anew. It will occur on March 20 at 4:28 a.m. in Colorado this year.

The Colorado Children’s Noruz Foundation (CCNF), a volunteer-run nonprofit, started in 2005 to plan and host a local celebration complete with crafts and traditional dance performances. This event — which has sold out a 500-person venue for the past nine years — is scheduled for March 18 in Glendale.

Attendees can see and learn about the Haftseen, a symbolic table covered in items that have significance: apples represent beauty, garlic represents health, mirrors honor

self-reflection and the list goes on.

Executive Director and Co-Founder of CCNF Ramina Kashani venerates Noruz for many reasons, but primarily for its inclusivity.

“I love it because it’s nonreligious,” she said. “t doesn’t matter what you believe in to celebrate Noruz; it’s a really uniting festivity.”

The holiday dates back to the farming era when families were excited for a new growing season.

Farjadi was 11 years old when her family traveled from Tehran to Shiraz, another Iranian city, for its wine and spring blooms.

A few years later, she and her family emigrated to the United States and she’s been in Colorado ever since.

She still has childhood memories of seeing her home country light up during Noruz. It’s traditional to wear a new, brightly colored item of clothing — sometimes an entire outfit — on the first day of spring to watch the festivities come alive.

“When you walk on the streets of Iran on Noruz day, everyone is dressed up in spring colors like red and purple,” Farjadi said, remembering the gleeful sights and smells of fresh flowers.

The Persian Empire was expansive, spanning from Turkey all the

way to the north of India. If you travel to the modern-day countries, families across the Middle East and Asia are still celebrating Noruz.

“It’s really amazing — you will see an unbelievable amount of colors,” Pashani said of her last visit back to her home country for Noruz. “The trees are in bloom and it’s just a beautiful time to be in Iran.”

Three events to participate in Noruz this month: March 13: The Westminster City Council will honor the New Year with a proclamation during the city council meeting on Monday evening.

March 18: The Colorado Children’s Foundation for Noruz is celebrating the holiday on Saturday at 3 p.m. with activities for children and adults including crafts and traditional dance performances. You can find more information on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ coloradochildrensnoruz March 24: A breakfast celebration with Iranian snacks and tea will be hosted at the Colorado Capitol. The Iranian Persian Circle group, which includes Farjadi, has coordinated the event sponsored by state Rep. Paul Rosenthal.

trash trucks on city streets.

“The number one reason for this proposal is that residents continually ask the city to do more to make recycling easier and more convenient, less expensive and encourage other ways to help save the environment for our future generations,” Erichson said.

Proponents say the city could save residents money and boost its recycling rates if the city contracts with haulers, hiring between one and three haulers to collect resident’s trash. The original plan called for all residents to be members, including those living in homeowners associations that have negotiated their own trash hauling contracts. Residents that did participate in the city program could have paid a fee.

Opponents told councilors at the

Feb. 27 meeting that it was an unwelcome intrusion.

“Your proposal is totally unacceptable,” said resident Nick Deckrell.

“It takes away my freedom of choices and I don’t like to lose those. And the company that offers the lowest price will most likely be temporary and they will increase their price after a few months.”

Resident David Carpenter agreed.

“There is a functioning market in trash already, so why should the council disrupt it?” Carpenter said.

Seitz said councilors heard residents’ concerns and removed the requirement to participate.

“We do listen, and we do try to make sure our policy goals are still met but that they work for our residents — not against them,” Seitz said.

Hot topic The issue was the sole discussion item at the Feb. 13 meeting, but councilors adjourned after taking more than three hours of testimony from residents, postponing the rest of the discussion until Feb. 27. A public presentation of the plan details, originally scheduled for Feb. 13, was postponed to Feb. 27 as well.

The proposal has three goals, Erichson said — increasing Westminster’s recycling rate, offering less expensive curbside collections across the city and reducing the number of

Hard times for house hunters Low inventory, high prices typify a tough housing market

Metro North officials see a missing middle

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Londa Mull isn’t your typical couch surfer.

“I’m technically homeless, and I chose this,” she said with a smile.

After her four adult children moved out, Mull, a 50-year-old former real estate broker’s assistant, began looking for a smaller home in July 2016. She sold her Centennial home in February, but still hasn’t found a house, condominium or townhome that meets her needs, so for now, she’s staying with friends and sleeping on sofas.

An empty nester with money and time to spend, Mull realizes she has advantages over most buyers looking for a single-family home. With little to choose from and prices that have skyrocketed in recent years, the Denver metro housing market can be daunting.

Mull feels sorry for families trying to buy a starter house.

“I had a young couple in the Thornton area a year ago,” she said.

“We would spend an entire Saturday every week and write offers four or five at a time” but always got outbid.

The couple found a home, after looking at 65 houses, submitting 25 offers and going above their agreed price range.

Mull said she’ll use Airbnb — an online marketplace that connects people to living accommodations — to avoid wearing out her welcome if she doesn’t find a place soon. And she isn’t too optimistic.

“The problem is there isn’t that much out there,” she said, but “when I found a place I liked, of course it sold like that,” she said, snapping her fingers. `There’s nothing out there’ A February study by consumer services website Bankrate.com found that Colorado is the eighthhardest state in the nation for firsttime home buyers. Prices are up and inventory is down — way down.

Listings of single-family homes and condominiums in the metro area hit an all-time low in February of 3,878 units, according to a report released March 3 by the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.

A January report from DMAR showed Denver County’s inventory of single-family homes plummeted, down 44.9 percent from 2016. In Jefferson County, available single-family homes dropped by 38.9 percent, and Arapahoe and Adams counties saw decreases of 34.2 and 32.1 percent, respectively. Douglas County’s

Bob Costello, a real estate agent based in Highlands Ranch, stands outside a house he owns and uses as a rental property. Costello says clients are using unconventional methods to get the advantage over others in the market, such as writing personal letters to sellers.

THE COST OF A HOME The following are the median sales prices of single-family homes in January for communities throughout the Denver metro area, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. At right is the percentage increase or decrease as compared to January 2016.

Lone Tree: $847,450 (+20.4 percent) Golden: $515,000 (+4 percent) Highlands Ranch: $445,000 (+5.3 percent) Parker: $431,250 (-1.6 percent) Centennial: $425,000 (+9 percent) Littleton: $409,750 (+7.7 percent) Castle Rock: $405,000 (+2.5 percent)

Average for metro area: $380,000 (+10 percent) Denver: $370,000 (+10.4 percent) Wheat Ridge: $363,000 (-5.7 percent) Thornton: $342,480 (+8.7 percent) Westminster: $337,000 (+12.7 percent) Englewood: $335,000 (+4.9 percent)

Arvada: $380,000 (+13.4 percent)

Aurora: $319,000 (+11.9 percent)

Lakewood: $380,000 (+8.1 percent)

Northglenn: $291,250 (+16 percent)

inventory decreased 27.8 percent.

Sandi Zimmerman, a Castle Rock Realtor, doesn’t need to see the numbers to know available homes are lacking.

“There’s nothing out there,” she said.

Zimmerman has had success finding homes for clients over the last couple of years, but it wasn’t

easy. One family she worked with throughout most of last year wrote seven contracts before closing.

“Be ready and be patient — those are really the two things you have to do,” she said. “This process could take six months.”

Buyers who fix, flip and sell squeeze families out of the market Multiple factors contribute to the lack of affordable homes.

Developers and many officials in the region cite a lack of new condominiums and are likely to blame construction defects legislation. They say it makes it too easy for homeowners to sue developers, driving up insurance rates and discouraging new

construction projects.

But ask a real estate agent, or a weary prospective buyer, and they’re likely to mention investors, who typically buy homes for cash and use them as rental properties.

“They’ve been coming into Denver with millions of dollars and scooping up homes,” said Londa Mull, a former real estate broker’s

assistant currently looking to buy a single-family home.

“It should be illegal,” Mull said, adding that she held out for a young family when she sold her Centennial home.

After a nine-month search for her first townhouse, Julie Connolly made the same choice when she recently decided to sell.

“I don’t remember exactly how many offers we made but it was between at least 10 and 15,” said Connolly, a single mother who bought a Littleton townhome in 2012.

“Out of those 10 or 15 offers, 90 percent of them, no less, were lost to an investor.”

Connolly recently bought a home in Centennial with her boyfriend after they both

sold their “starter” homes.

He was under contract to sell within hours of listing while her townhome took three days, because she refused an investor’s offer in favor of a couple starting a family.

“It’s not fair,” she said. “A house is a home, it’s not supposed to be a business.”

HOUSING

potential buyers across the region can’t afford a new home.

Prices are out of range for at least 205,000 households in Denver. In Jefferson County, a minimum of 150,891households are stuck where they are. At least 98,903 Adams County households and 134,818 Arapahoe County households are priced out, while Douglas County had at least 50,714 households not making enough to buy a home.

Robert Smith, Lakewood’s economic development director, said the cost burden of owning or renting in today’s market has consequences that ripple through the local economy. More income spent on rent or mortgage payments means less money for eating out, shopping and other discretionary spending.

“Cost burden affects not

only an individual household’s quality of life,” Smith said via email. It “also affects the business community that depends on their spending.”

Another strain on the household budget is money spent on gas and bus fare.

“Households that do buy in this market are forced either to enter a cost-burdened situation or find less expensive housing farther from their place of work,” Smith said, “which in turn leads to greater spending on transportation.”

less raising some eyebrows.

Aside from preventing first-time buyers from owning a home, Smith said there are other potential downsides to a housing market in which home prices continually escalate. The worst of these, he said, would be an inevitable shortage of labor, a perennial problem in Colorado’s mountain resorts.

Still, he isn’t worried about a collapse.

“All markets will rise and fall,” Smith said. “It is tempting to look back a decade ago, then view the current rising housing market and fear a bursting bubble will not be far behind.”

The market goes through 10year cycles of low availability and high prices, Smith said, but a crash like 2008’s only happens “once in several decades.”

He said the region is in its seventh year of the 10-year cycle, and apartment vacancy rates are increasing, indicating the market will level out.

Zimmerman agrees that the area is in the seventh year of a cycle, but after 38 years in the real estate business, she’s not as confident in the outcome.

“This is my third time of seeing this,” she said, “I wish I had a crystal ball… I don’t know how much longer this is going to last.”

An annual uptick in permits for new homes, easy availability of loans and the cyclical nature of the real estate business give caution to her optimism.

“Normally, about the end of seven years you’re seeing that it’s going to stop or plateau or start to come back down,” she said. “What goes up must come down.”

FROM PAGE 6

Prices are rising, wages aren’t Patrick Holwell, workforce economist for Arapahoe/ Douglas Works, said there’s a gap between home prices and incomes in the region, and that gap is widening.

“People who aspire to own a home are looking at it going steadily out of their reach,” Holwell said. “Their income isn’t growing as fast as home prices.”

In January, the median sales price of a single-family home in the metro area was $380,000, up 10 percent from a year ago, according to DMAR. According to data Holwell compiled from the U.S. Census Bureau, a growing number of

High demand creates new trends estate agent Bob Costello. “The demand right now for houses is crazy.”

Sellers want to maximize profits — while making sure they still have a place to call home — and Costello said it’s creating new approaches to the selling process.

Local real estate agents say these are some of the trends:

Mayors campaign for construction defects bill SB 156 would require thirdparty arbitration for condo lawsuits, requires majority consent for an HOA lawsuit

BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While mayors around the metro area are backing a state legislative effort restricting construction defects lawsuits that they say discourage the building of attainable housing — such as condominiums and townhomes — critics say it would take away a homeowner’s right to use the court system.

Senate Bill 156 would require homeowner associations to obtain the written consent of a majority of owners in the association before filing a defects lawsuit, as well as disclose the projected cost of the claim and enter into third-party arbitration.

According to the Homeownership Opportunity Alliance, a group favoring the bill, as few as two homeowners can file a class action lawsuit on behalf of an HOA. State Rep. Cole Wist, R-Centennial, who is sponsoring the bill in the House, said the status quo has prevented condos from being built.

“In 2005, condos comprised 20 percent of the metro Denver new housing market,” he said. “While lawyers made money, today that number has plummeted to 2 percent.”

Supporters of construction defects reform say the lack of attainable home purchase options also drives up rental costs as more people who want to buy a home opt to stay in apartments.

A press conference was held by supporters of the bill at the Capitol on Feb. 27 before the bill went before the Senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee, which passed it 5-2.

Mayors from around the metro area attended the conference, including Adam Paul of Lakewood, Heidi Williams of Thornton, Cathy Noon of Centennial, Jackie Millet of Lone Tree, Marc Williams of Arvada, Herb Atchison of Westminster and Daniel Dick of Federal Heights.

Paul said that he had envisioned owner-occupied housing surrounding the Lakewood’s seven light rail stations.

“At those seven stops right now,

services manager for the City of Thornton, said her city has a policy creating incentives for lower income residents.

“We do a survey all the to find out where we stand as far as the housing market,” Jeffers said. “We have a lot of housing that people can purchase.

what we’ve seen is apartments, apartments and apartments,” he said.

Millet said that over the last 10 years, 2,000 housing units have been built in Lone Tree, but only 93 have been for-sale condos.

“The entry-level home just doesn’t exist in our community and I think that’s a shame,” she said.

But critics of SB 156 say there is no proof that construction defects lawsuits are behind the lack of entrylevel condos.

A group opposing the construction defect reform efforts, Build Our Homes Right, says the bill would shift private arbitration costs to homeowners, although their taxes support the court system.

Build Our Homes Right Chairman Jonathan Harris said that arbitration gives the power to developers rather than homeowners.

Shortly after buying his condo in Denver in 2004, he said he noticed water leaking around doors and window.

“They did some patches, and it would rain again and they’d do more patches,” he said.

His condo board finally settled a lawsuit against the developer, builder and architecture firm in 2012 for an undisclosed amount.

“I understand we need condominiums,” he said. “But I don’t think we need poor-quality condominiums.”

Peg Rudden, 68, a condo owner who favors SB 156, said that she has medical bills to pay and has been unable to apply for a home equity line of credit on her Centennial condo, which is nearly paid off, due to ongoing litigation.

“I was not aware of a lock on my home,” she said, staing she was denied the line of credit due to the litigation against the builder of her condo. “I was not aware of the construction defects.”

SB 156 is similar to ordinances passed in several municipalities around the metro area in recent years, including those in Denver, Littleton, Lakewood, Lone Tree, Parker, Westminster, Centennial, Castle Rock, Wheat Ridge and Arvada.

But Noon, the Centennial mayor, said the patchwork of local laws has not solved the problem, leaving developers wary.

“Do you come in, in an industry and in a state, that you have left years ago, and come in and do one project in the city of Centennial, under one set of rules, and one project in Lone Tree, and one in Arvada?” she said.

But we tend to follow Denver. If Denver’s rates increase, Thornton’s do too, although not as much.”

Jeffers said the city is still focused on lower income but recognizes the need to address the middle incomes.

“We know it’s becoming a higher priority problem for Thornton, because we are really growing fast,” Jeffers said. “We have a lot of development that’s happening and we do not want the housing issue to be left behind.”

When college mixes with taxes, time to unravel the knot

F

or people who enjoy the challenge of mazes, a huge opportunity presents itself every year in the mix of college financial aid applications and income tax returns.

What a labyrinth of rules and potential deductions and credits you can encounter!

But for those folks who DON’T enjoy this kind of puzzle, it’s almost enough to make you cry.

The government has tried to make this process logistically simple, allowing one document (your tax return) to be used as a tool to fill out the other document (your FAFSA — the Free Application for Federal Student Aid). But then things start to get complicated.

For instance, for the 2017-2018 college year, parents of college-bound children will utilize their 2015 income tax information to complete the FAFSA — NOT their 2016 tax return.

The next twist in the maze comes when parents discover that their children are not eligible for financial aid. That’s when they should consider looking to their tax return for some assistance to help with the tuition and

other costs. There are 11 different sections in the Internal Revenue Code that offer tax credits, adjustments or deductions for post-secondary expenses. Most of these are sensitive to the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income, or AGI, but not all.

The State of Fran Coet Colorado also allows a near limitless subtraction (against income) for contributions to CollegeInvest®, the Colorado-sponsored 529 program — presuming the contributions are made by a Colorado resident.

The most generous of the federal tax credits is called the American Opportunity Tax Credit. This credit (and credits are directly against tax) was made permanent in December 2015. The basics of the AOTC are that the taxpayer receives a credit of 100 percent of the first $2,000 of qualified education expenses, and 25 percent of the next

$2,000 of qualified education expenses.

The maximum credit (per student, per year) is $2,500, limited to four years of post-secondary education. Qualified expenses include tuition and certain mandated fees, plus course books and materials, which can, in some cases, include laptops and other computers.

A student’s eligibility is dependent upon several things, including pursuit of a degree or other recognized education credential (need not be at a four-year college — think cosmetologist or auto technician); and enrollment for at least one academic period, at least on a one-half time basis (defined by the institution). There are other requirements, and you can find them on the IRS.gov website by typing student eligibility on the search bar.

To claim the AOTC, the taxpayer MUST have a Form 1098-T, tuition statement, issued by the education institution. That statement assists the taxpayer in computing the AOTC. There are certain AGI phase-outs, where the AOTC begins to become inapplicable; and the most common one is the $160,000-$180,000 AGI level for married

couples. Even if you pay the tuition and other qualifying expenses via student loan proceeds, you can still claim the AOTC. It doesn’t matter whether the loan is in the name of the dependent child or in the name of the parent.

However, if the tuition or other expenses are paid with distributions from a 529 program, then the parents/taxpayers may not “double-dip.”

In other words, if all expenses are covered with distributions from 529 programs, then there is no opportunity to claim the AOTC. Care must be exercised to use the 529 distributions for room and board expenses, and tuition and other costs, less $4,000 to maximize the potential for claiming the AOTC on the parents’ tax return for four years.

If you have navigated all these deductions, credits, etc., you are close to exiting the maze. But your head might continue spinning until graduation day, 2021.

tradition of service to our community which certainly makes Thornton such a great place to live and work,” Coder said. “I’m appreciative of the confidence city council has shown in me.”

munity development for the Village of Lombard, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, before coming to Thornton.

He attended Iowa State University where he earned a master’s degree in community and regional planning and a bachelor of science

degree in landscape architecture.

Career and technical training thrives in Thornton

here is a jewel in the Adams 12 Five Star School District crown which warrants much more attention and acclaim than it receives.

It’s not any of their athletic teams or the top 5 percent academic achievers or the debate teams among the 5 high schools. I’m talking about the Bollman Technical Education Center (BTEC) located south of Thornton Parkway and west of Washington Street.

To my delight, I recently was invited to tour the facility with Westminster City Councilor Shannon Bird, BTEC Principal Janet Renden and Assistant Principal Marvin Lewis. The Bollman Center, named after Henry Bollman

who was a former president of the school board member, is the school district’s career and technical school which offers student fantastic opportunities in a variety of vocational fields. Built in 1974, it currently provides training to 1,038 students with the highest percentage coming from Mountain Range High School in Westminster. Another 203 students signed up for classes at BTEC but were not able to be accommodated.

such a training facility — automotive technology, carpentry, diesel automatic technology, culinary arts, welding, home improvement & repair. However, there are others which might surprise you including — aerospace engineering, A.P. computer science, introduction to computer science, graphic design, medical sciences — EMT or CNA, principles of engineering, video production and teacher cadet program.

Witnesses chase him and notify police.

Personally, I’ve seen similar plotlines on a multitude of cop, hospital, and detective programs.

But this time, it was personal. I never fully realized that something like this could happen to me (although fortunately, I was not one of the seriously injured).

I was slowing for a stoplight in rush hour traffic when I heard squealing tires and then the SEE DORAY, P13

here is a quote by William Shakespeare, “A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once.

It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.”

We seem to live in a fear-based world these days. The question is why? What is it that we are fearing most? Is it the economy? Is it a fear that there are wars raging in the world and soon enough we could have a war right here? Is it a fear based on the wars and battles that are going in right here already? Political battles, the war on political correctness, the war on drugs, and the war we wage within ourselves as we strive to get by?

Most of us have probably heard the phrase, “Hope is not a strategy.” Maybe, maybe not, I think it becomes a matter of personal belief and the role that hope plays in our lives. I believe that although hope might not be a strategy for everyone, we all must have a strategy of hope. Without hope, fear can easily consume our thoughts and actions.

Zig Ziglar turned the word fear into an acronym and he said, “Fear, FEAR, stands for False Evidence Appearing Real.” So

how do we know what is real and what is false?

Some of us are consumed with reality TV, which in many times isn’t reality at all and has been scripted or staged to enhance the Michael Norton entertainment value. And as we live at a time when we can have instant access to anything and everything in the world via our news feeds, we now must also decide what is “real” news and what is “fake” news.

So as we watch these reality shows and when we are watching or reading the news, aren’t we watching or reading with some amount of hope? We are typically rooting for something good or bad to happen to one of the characters or people living out their lives through the lens of a camera, or we are hoping for some kind of real news, good news, and in some cases believe it or not, there are people who hope for some bad news. Either way, we are all hoping for something so “hope” is somewhere in our

unmistakable – and instantaneous – panic-inducing crunch of metal on metal as vehicles behind me collided violently. In the same millisecond, I saw a blue Jeep-type vehicle go airborne off the road into a parking lot, flip four times and hit a parked car.

Then I was hit.

Witnesses said the car crossed all four lanes of traffic at high speed and never braked. The impact spun me sideways out into traffic, where he hit me again on my right side and shoved me into another car with my left side.

student in an Adams 12 high school, charter school or alternative high school may apply to attend classes at BTEC in their tenth, 11th or 12th-grade year. Some courses are open to Thornton High School ninth graders. Free district transportation is provided to and from the various high schools for most of the class periods.

Since BTEC is a program of the school district, there are no tuition costs. However, some classes may require a small fee and/or specialized materials. All CTE courses fulfill the district’s Fine/Practical Arts and/ or Elective graduation requirements.

BTEC academic credits meet district English and Science graduation requirements.

Plus, through articulation agreements with community colleges, 4-year colleges and private post-secondary institutions, students can earn college credits. Adams 12 Five Star Board of Education, Superintendent Chris Gdowski, staff and faculty are to be commended for this stellar program and facility. And the good news is that they will be building a second building from the successful bond issue to expand their program!!

College is not for every student As I have said numerous times in my column, college is not for every student. Either from an academic or financial perspective, attending college is not the best or most viable pathway for a portion of graduating high school seniors.

School districts have a responsibility to provide vocational training opportunities to such students. Today’s workforce is constantly in need of young people who have some training under their belt in such fields as welding, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, computer science, graphic design and

ment in a fear based world, the more we will be able to see that fear really is just FALSE Evidence Appearing Real.

Moving from fear to hope, and hope to faith gives us a solid foundation to counterbalance the negativity and things we may fear the most. It really is a simple formula, the stronger our

hope and the deeper our faith, the less we have to fear in this life.

So how about you? Are you living with too much fear and not enough hope and faith? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com. And when we can remember that when we can live more hope and

greater faith, it will help to minimize our fears. And then it really will be a better than good week.

A man driving a tanker truck was out of his vehicle before the accident even registered with me. He sprinted to the person who flipped, then to the driver of the car that hit us. By then, I’d gotten out of my car and the trucker came over to check on me. He stayed at the scene for about two hours, helping all of us with his concern and his eye-witness account for the police.

I learned from police that the driver fled the scene on foot, and that witnesses who saw him followed him in their car. When he left the street, one of the people in the car jumped out and chased him down to the railroad tracks, where this Good Samaritan somehow subdued him until the police arrived.

The accident happened in front of

a flooring company, where the Jeep vehicle that rolled crash-landed into an employee’s car. I narrowly missed plowing into another employee who was still in her car at the time. These good people came streaming out of their office, provided a chair for me to use while I talked to the firemen, the paramedics, the police. They brought me water.

When the police moved the investigation into the company’s office because of the cold that morning, employees provided coffee to warm me up.

All of these kind people give new meaning to the “See something, say something” mantra of today’s social

climate. For them, it was “See something, do something.”

Thank you to the people of Colorado Carpet and Rug, thank you to Jerry the trucker whose last name I never learned. And thank you to the people who helped the police apprehend the person who caused this crash.

What you saw, and what you did, made an awful situation bearable for me that frosty morning on the day before Valentine’s Day.

culinary arts to mention a portion of the “trades.” With Front Range Community College (FRCC) in the area, school districts can partner with the college for many of these classes.

FRCC is a great resource that could be “tapped” much more than it has been. Their campus administrators are open to working with the school districts to make these opportunities happen. Transportation seems to be a bottleneck, but it should not be the death knell to making these class opportunities happen for interested students.

Looking to the future Fortunately, Adams 12 Five Star School District had the wisdom to keep their technology center over the years.

I recognize that it is not inexpensive to provide classrooms, equipment and well-qualified teachers to offer a solid vocational experience. Other school districts in the area such as Westminster Public School District (WPS) once had a vibrant vocational program at a separate campus known as the Career Enrichment Park (CEP). It even included a functioning restaurant called Le Parc where students learned every aspect of restaurant management and culinary skills. The public could even eat lunch there for a reasonable price.

Another program built a house each year and then sold it.

Unfortunately, over the course of two former superintendents of schools, the CEP became an easy target for budget cuts. Today, WSP administrators tell me they are gradually building back up to improve their vocational course selection. I would love to see WSP and FRCC parlay a set of classes which WSP students could take advantage of as well as get creative in providing the needed transportation.

Water officials cautiously optimistic about drought Ample snowpack points to sufficient water for summer

Clouds gather over the mountains overlooking Westminster’s Stanley Lake. The lake one main reservoirs for Northglenn, Thornton and Westminster and local water district officials hope spring runoff from the mountains will fill the reservoir this spring.

Heavy high country snows have local water officials happy but cautious about this summer’s water supply.

“The big snow events in the metro area honestly do not help us,” said Emily Hunt, Thornton’s water resources manager. “We’d really much rather see the snow up in the mountains. But if we can keep cold weather down here through March, with the trees barely starting to come out in April and people not turning on their irrigation systems until May, that’s ideal for us. Ideally, we don’t want people to have to water their lawns and trees until after Mother’s Day.” The latest reports for Colorado’s Front Range put snowpack depth at between 120 and 160 percent of annual averages, according to the National Resources Conservation Service.

It’s one of the several measurements local water officials monitor all year long as they prepare for the summer.

“It’s great when the snowpack tracks its normal route, or it’s abovenormal route like this year,” Hunt said. “But the other measure is the snow water equivalent, and that really tells us how much water is actually in the snowpack. For us, that usually

maxes out about 15 inches.”

NRCS measures show the Snow Water Equivalent along the Front Range at between 13 and 17 inches.

“If we get to 15 inches or higher, then we feel like we are having a normal year,” Hunt said.

Those show that the Denver metro area should avoid drought conditions and water restrictions for another summer.

It’s not a given, however, according to Sarah Borgers, Westminster’s water resources and quality manager.

“We are little more comfortable, but there are still things that can happen that mean that water in the mountains does not make it down to us in spring runoff in a way we can use it,” Borgers said.

Borgers said she’d like to see a snowy spring for the mountains and continued cold, followed by slowly

warming weather. A sudden switch, from cold to warm, would be a bad thing.

“Sometimes that snow can disappear,” she said. “That means it’s evaporating, rather than melting. It’s happened before, where we’ve had a decent snowpack that has not materialized into stream flow down here.

It’s the dynamics of the weather up there.”

Hunt said the weather down here can have just as much impact. People use more water when it gets warm.

She’d prefer that waits until the local reservoirs have started filling up.

Westminster, Thornton, Northglenn and the Farmer’s Reservoir and Irrigation Company all rely on Standley Lake as one of their main water supplies, but each city has a number of other reservoirs and canals that feed municipal water treatment plants.

Currently, municipal reservoirs are at about 65 percent of their capacity.

That’s still good.

“That’s good, considering we are getting ready to go into spring runoff in about a month or so,” Borgers said.

“We want to be empty enough so that we can collect the water next spring, so this is a good spot for us at this time of the year.”

Instrument-laden aircraft have been surveying the Colorado high country as scientists search for better ways to measure how much water is locked up in the world’s mountain snows — water that sustains a substantial share of the global population.

A NASA-led experiment called SnowEx is using five aircraft to test 10 sensors that might one day be used to monitor snow from satellites. The goal: Find the ideal combination to overcome multiple obstacles, including how to analyze snow hidden beneath forest canopies.

“It would be, I would say, a monumental leap in our ability to forecast water supply if we had this kind of information,” said Noah Molotch, a member of the science team for the experiment.

One-sixth of the world’s population gets most of its fresh water from snow

that melts and runs into waterways, said Ed Kim, a NASA researcher and lead scientist for SnowEx. “Right there, it’s hugely important for people,” he said.

Snow has other consequences for society as well, including floods, droughts and even political stability when water is scarce, Kim said.

The key to predicting how much water will pour out of mountain snows each spring is a measurement called snow water equivalent. The global average is 30 percent of snow depth, Kim said — 10 inches of snow melts down to 3 inches of water.

But a single mountain snowbank contains multiple layers with different snow water equivalents, making M measurement difficult. The layers K were dropped by successive storms T with different moisture contents, and then lingered under different weather T conditions before the next storm cov- 4 ered them.

J A key technology used to predict snow runoff is the Snow Telemetry T Network operated by the U.S. DeM partment of Agriculture’s Natural C Resources Conservation Service. More W than 800 automated stations measure L the depth and weight of the snow and transmit them to a central database. T

Quiz nights bring interaction to pubs

Caution Brewing in Lakewood hosts Geeks Who Drink quiz night every Tuesday.

Denver area is largest market for Geeks Who Drink quizes

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Quiz nights at Grist Brewing Co. in Highlands Ranch are high energy.

The combination of a running club, a food truck and an average of eight to 10 teams racking their brains for the correct answers to trivia questions makes Wednesday nights at Grist beer tender Stephanie Owen’s favorite night to work.

“I was a quiz regular before I started working here on Wednesday nights,” Owen said. “I’m a huge random knowledge geek. I’ve got a lot of random useless knowledge.”

Grist has hosted a trivia night weekly since opening its doors three years ago.

About six months ago, the brewery switched from hosting an independent trivia company to hosting Geeks who Drink.

Grist is one of 700 weekly Geeks Who Drink events in 41 states.

Geeks Who Drink launched in 2006

in Denver and has grown into the largest trivia company in the nation.

The homegrown pub trivia quiz is modeled after those in Ireland and the U.K. and covers everything from celebrities in trouble to wordplay to bad television.

“We have relatively humble beginnings,” said Ken Brill, director of public relations and marketing for Geeks Who Drink. “We were founded simply because trivia in the area kind of stunk.”

Brill said what separates the Geeks from other trivia formats is the focus on social interaction.

“The thing that’s helped us the most is we take a light-hearted approach to trivia,” Brill said. “We like to think of ourselves more of an evening of entertainment rather than stumping players with hardest questions.”

Brill said that although the Geeks’ chief editor is a six-time “Jeopardy” champion, they aren’t looking to only attract people who take the “Jeopardy” entrance exam regularly.

“We’re looking for folks who want to have a good time and hang with friends,” Brill said. “We try to keep it as broad as possible to appeal to everyone on the team. We’re going to try to hit on every one area of expertise every night.”

This is one reason why trivia enthusiast Brian Harshman, 37, plays quiz nights at Caution Brewery in Lakewood regularly.

“We have a lot of fun and it’s nice and challenging,” said Harshman, who excels in the music category.

His quiz teammate, Jason Rhine, 32, said music is the only category he lacks knowledge in.

Rhine found quiz night while in college and has continued to play since.

“It’s a good balance of being able to talk and chill, but also have something to do while you’re here,” said Rhine, a Lakewood resident.

Caution is one of several Geeks Who Drink sites in the Denver metro area.

“One of our largest presence is concentrated here in Denver,” said Stefani Thomas, Colorado regional manager for Geeks Who Drink.

Thomas started as a quiz master with Geeks six years ago and transitioned into the full-time position two years ago.

She has hosted quizzes at almost 50 venues in Colorado, everywhere from Denver to the mountains and Colorado Springs. She regularly hosts at Denver Bicycle Cafe in Denver.

“I like the back and forth between the host and the quizzers,” Thomas said.

“Once you have regulars coming to your quiz, you really have the opportunity to connect with them. You know things happening in their life and it becomes beyond just a person mechanically reading questions over the mic.

Those people become your family and friends.”

One personal connection Thomas made was with a quizzer at Beau Jo’s in Denver. When that quizzer died of cancer, his family invited Thomas to host a tribute quiz at his wake.

“It was cool and unusual,” Thomas said. “We laughed and played quiz. If I ever had to have something like that planned for me, I’d hope it would as fun and a great gathering for people.”

Site-specific installations by 13 Latino artists shown in Denver `Mi Tierra’ exhibition has been long time in the making

IF YOU GO “MI TIERRA: CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS EXPLORE PLACE” fills the fourth floor of the Hamilton Building, Denver Art Museum, on 13th Avenue, a block west of Broadway. Admission is included with general admission to the Museum.

(Children visit free.) A catalog of the exhibit was still at the printer when we visited, since many of these works were “in progress” until shortly before opening and not ready for the photographer, but there will be a bilingual catalog available in the Museum Shops soon, lending more insight into the 13 artists represented.

“Mi Tierra” has been three or four years in the making, according to Denver Art Museum Director Christoph Heinrich, inspired to an extent by the experience of “Embrace,” which challenged artists to design sitespecific works as feedback in the then-new Hamilton Building, with its angles and oddly shaped display spaces.

“Mi Tierra: Contemporary Artists Explore Place,” in the fourth-floor gallery through Oct. 22, is the first major exhibit curated by Rebecca Hart, new curator of modern and contemporary art. Thirteen emerging and mid-career Latino artists were invited to create site-specific installations that express experiences of a contemporary life in the American West, near the border, in Mexico, in Latin America, Hart said.

“Some worked in the public eye the last three months,” she said. (As with “Embrace,” the public was invited to watch as installations were created, and talk with the artists.) “Place, home, country, borders, migration, labor, memory, visibility, displacement, expected and not, traditional and not. Diverse creative voices to the front,” Hart said. “No single viewpoint can represent being Latino in America today.”

Hart arrived in Denver 18 months ago and Latino leaders helped her, as did a committee of advisors. The all new large scale installations are in many media—“some bi-lingual, some dissonant,

Four choruses and an orchestra unite for Brahms’ German Requiem Soloists include baritone Timothy Kennedy of Westminster

BY BY LISA GREIM SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Directors from five Boulder and Jefferson County musical groups are wrestling with a pleasant logistical problem: how to arrange 180 musicians onstage for two performances of Johannes Brahms’ “German Requiem in March.”

The 120-voice festival choir and 56-piece orchestra – all community musicians — will bring the “Requiem” to Longmont and Arvada March 11 and 12.

The next scheduled performance is Sunday, March 12, at 4 p.m. at Arvada United Methodist Church, 6750 Carr St. Singers from the Arvada Chorale, Jubilate Sacred Singers of Louisville, Longmont United Church and Arvada United Methodist Church will join Boulder-based Flatirons Community Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. J. Arturo Gonzalez. Soloists include soprano Linnette Mancuso of Arvada and baritone Timothy Kennedy of Westminster.

Brahms’ composition is a major challenge for the 180 volunteer musicians. But organizers hope that the Requiem’s powerful melodies, and

its deep emotional message of comfort amid anxiety and loss, will be a healing experience for audiences and performers in this disquieted age.

“It’s a complicated piece to learn,” said Marla Wasson, director of the 68-voice Arvada Chorale. “But it’s an honor. We’re singing the ‘Requiem’ to honor our audiences and our fellow musicians.”

Gonzalez first heard the Requiem as a 13-year-old, at a memorial for victims of the catastrophic 1985 earthquake in Mexico City. The 8.1-magnitude quake in Gonzalez’s hometown killed an estimated 10,000 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless.

“A couple of my friends died,” he recalled.

While Gonzalez has conducted individual movements of the Brahms and sang the ‘Requiem’ with the Dallas Symphony Chorus as a graduate student at Southern Methodist University, this is the first time he has conducted the full work. “At the orchestra’s first reading, when I heard those first chords – it’s a very powerful memory,” he said.

While earlier requiem masses begin with prayers for the repose of the dead, Brahms’ work consoles the living. It opens with “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall have comfort,” and ends with a peaceful prayer that the dead “rest from their labors, and that their works follow after them.”

“It’s like a lullaby,” Wasson said.

It was a bold approach. Brahms

deliberately avoided the conventional structure of the Latin mass, in favor of texts he chose from the Luther Bible. The lyrics convey the universal human experience of death and loss, along with the Christian message of redemption. Each movement repeats emotional themes of fear and sadness, and their resolution in comfort and joy.

Brahms composed most of “Ein Deutsches Requiem” in 1865, as he mourned the death of his mother.

The full seven-movement work premiered in 1869.

Branding Northglenn with festivals and fun Events build excitement, sense of community

BY MEGAN M. CRUMLEY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Pirate Fest 2015 was the first of three new festivals hosted by the City of Northglenn with a desire to increase its unique brand as a city and also elevate the quality of life for both residents and visitors.

“We wanted to better connect with our residents and draw people to our city,” said Northglenn Mayor Joyce Downing. “Residents are proud that we have these new events. The crowds get larger each year. Visitors are seeing Northglenn in a new and different way, one that is energized and forward-thinking.”

In 2014, the City of Northglenn created a “strategic plan focused on vitalization, civic engagement and a renewed sense of community,” said Margo Aldrich, Northglenn’s public communications manager.

With this in mind, the city hired Steven Stokes as the events supervisor to oversee three brand-new events and three already established events for the city. The city wanted to be known for more than it was at the time, and they realized one of the ways to do this was through big events.

Stokes, who has a background in building large-scale events, said one of the original ideas was the Pirate Fest, which was really outside of the box. Other ideas were a wine festival and a barbecue festival, but those types of festivals could be found everywhere.

If Northglenn wanted to be unique,

2017

Last year’s Food Truck carnival was such a success it drew new customers to area shops and restaurants for the day. its festivals needed to be unique.This desire fueled the creation of Food Truck Carnival and Magic Fest (the new event for 2017).

“There isn’t another magic festival in Colorado,” Stokes explained.

Pirate Fest and Food Truck Carnival, the new event for 2016, were both hugely successful. Pirate Fest’s attendance increased from 7,000 in 2015 to 11,000 in 2016. Food Truck Carnival had a whopping 30,000 attendees last

SUMMER CAMP LISTINGS

year — in a city with 38,000 residents.

Stokes said they had only planned on about 10,000 attendees for the Food Truck Carnival.

“About two weeks prior to the event we started to get a good sense that we were going to have more than expected, and we called all the reserve backup food trucks we knew.”

Although they ran out of food that first year, Stokes said it was great for the community.

The businesses at the Webster Lake Promenade were packed. Cracker Barrel had its single best sales night ever on Friday night.

The six events Stokes currently oversees are Food Truck Carnival – May 12-14; Kid’s Fishing Derby and HEAL (Healthy Eating and Living) Bike Rodeo – June 3; July 4th Festival – July 4; Magic Festival – Aug. 18-19;

COURTESY PHOTO

Pirate Festival – Sept. 15-16; and Noel November – Dec. 1.

But in an effort to hit a multitude of target audiences, the City of Northglenn presents more than 40 events each year “If you’re an athlete, you might go to the mud volleyball tournament. If you love live music, you’re going to go to the summer concert series.If you’re the guy who likes food trucks, you’re going to go to Food Truck Carnival,” Stokes said.

So, if you’re into pirates, magic, fishing, food or just having a good ol’ time, mark your calendars in advance so you don’t miss one of Northglenn’s signature events.

Hawks lose tough hoop clash Regis edges Horizon in state girls Great 8 playoff game

SEE BASKETBALL, P22

Lakewood’s playoff run honors former star

T

here were less than 30 seconds left in Lakewood’s 61-49 upset victory over top-seeded Highlands Ranch in the girls Class 5A basketball quarterfinal state playoff game when Tigers center Camilla Emsbo started crying.

They were tears of OVERTIME joy and tears of remembrance for former Lakewood standout Mackenzie Forrest, who died in an automobile accident on March 13, 2016.

“This was for Little Mac (Forrest),” Emsbo said. “I started crying with like 20 seconds Jim Benton left. Everybody knows she is up there and I’m so happy. This was all she wanted. I’m so glad we could give it to her.”

Emsbo, a 6-foot-4 junior, wore different colored socks in the March 3 game.

“That was her thing, crazy socks,” she said. “We didn’t all wear them tonight but home games we all have crazy socks.

I wanted to keep it going.”

In the Final Four, Lakewood plays Cherry Creek at 8:30 p.m. March 9 at the Denver Coliseum.

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The eyes of many of the Horizon players glistened with tears as they left the court after suffering a disappointing loss to Regis 55-46 in the March 3 Great 8 state girls basketball game that was much closer than the final score indicates.

The score was tied 44-44 with 3:03 left in the game. Regis built a slight lead and added to the lead when the Hawks deliberately committed fouls to send the Raiders to the free throw line hoping for a miss and a rebound. Unfortunately for Horizon Regis hit five of six free throws down the stretch and added three fast break baskets triggered by defensive rebounds to add to the growing lead and the 55-46 win.

“I am proud of the girls and the way they played tonight,” Hawks Coach Dan Doehler said after the game. “Everyone played hard and everyone should be proud of the effort but we came up short.”

The coach’s face reflected similar emotions over the loss in a game that saw Regis scored the first six points, established a 10-point, 13-3 lead, after a Hawks cut the lead to two at 9-7, Regis hit a basket and three-pointer just before the buzzer ending the first period to take a 14-9 lead. The Raiders stretched the lead 23-18 at halftime.

The Hawks cut the lead to two points early in the third period, tied the score at 30-30 with 2:32 left in the period and held a 35-34 advantage going into the final quarter.

Regis hit a pair of baskets to put the Raiders up 45-44 with just over three minutes left in the game and built on the lead to post the 55-46 win.

Senior Kylie Jimenez led the Hawks in scoring with 21 points which included a trio of threepointers while sister Aly Jimenez scored 10 points and pulled down seven rebounds. Teammate Izzy Allen also had seven rebounds.

After the game, Kylie Jimenez’s eyes were red from shedding tears and her voice reflected her disappointment in not winning as she talked about the contest.

“It is a heart-breaker. We fought hard and the outcome wasn’t what we wanted but everyone on our team gave it their best effort and you couldn’t ask for more than that,” she said. “Personally this was my last high school game so I went out there and left it all on the court.”

Regis Jesuit’s Francesca Belibi battles Horizon’s Arielle Wisne for a loose ball, during the 2nd quarter of a CHSAA Girls 5A Great 8 playoff game, Friday March 3, at the Denver Coliseum. The Raiders defeated the Hawks, 55-46, ending the Horizon’s state championship hopes for a second consecutive year.

Coaching carousel Joe Johnson, of ThunderRidge, and Corey McNellis, of Ponderosa, have been icons at their respective schools.

Both, however, have stepped down as head coaches at the schools.

Johnson, who has been a football coach at ThunderRidge for 18 years, 17 as head coach, is leaving to take over the football program at Cherokee Trail and become the Cougars’ third head coach in three years.

McNellis, a two-time state champion at Ponderosa, has been the Mustangs’ head wrestling coach for the past 10 seasons and has coached at the Parker school for 18 years. He still works as a dean at the school, but is looking to land a position as an assistant principal/athletic director.

“I have been either a competitor or coach in this sport since I was 4-yearsold,” McNellis said. “It’s time to experience life without wrestling.”

Meanwhile, Rock Canyon announced that Brian Tinker is the school’s new head football coach replacing Brian Lamb and taking over a team that went 3-7 during the 2016 season.

Tinker was head coach at Fossil Ridge in Fort Collins in 2014 and 2015 and made the state playoffs both seasons with 5-5 records. His contract was not renewed in March of 2016, and his removal sparked protests from players and parents.

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 21

Jimenez had an outstanding season.

In 25 games she scored a total of 475 points, an average of more than 19 points a game. She also was the Hawks season leader in assists with 106 and in steals with 108.

“Basketball is my only sport for a lot of years,” she said. “I did play some softball when I was younger but I then I focused just on basketball because I love the sport so much. I have a lot of good memories playing for Horizon and, after graduation, I am going to Portland State to play basketball for the Vikings.”

The Hawks finished the season with a 22-4 record which included going undefeated and winning the Front Range League championship. Looking forward, the coach expects Horizon to be a strong, competitive team next season.

“We are a young team with only three seniors on the roster. The seniors, Kylie Jimenez, Ashley Mortensen and Savannah Arellano, were our leaders this season. We will miss them next season but we have a talented group of players returning so we should again be a strong, competitive team,” Coach Doehler said before the game. “The team went to the Great 8 last year and our goal all season was to do that again. Now we want to continue to make progress as a program and make it to the Final Four.”

Horizon forward Arielle Wisne drives around Regis Jesuit’s Noelle Cahill during the 3rd quarter of last Friday’s CHSAA 5A playoff game at the Denver Coliseum.

Horizon’s state playoff run ended in the Great 8 for a second consecutive year, as Regis beat the Hawks, 55-46. STEFAN BRODSKY This is the first season coaching the Hawks girls team for Doehler who is a Horizon High School graduate.

He said it is great to get to return to coach his alma mater and he said his goal is to build a strong girls basketball program at Horizon.

“One of the first things I did when I got here was to establish a strong feeder program for the high school team,” Doehler said. “We now have girls basketball programs starting at fifth grade that will hopefully help us make winning high school seasons a Hawk tradition.”

BY KEVIN M. SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Steve Loose helped build Water World — literally and figuratively.

Loose started with the Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District in March of 1974 as the athletic supervisor. He retired last year after serving as the general manager for the water park in Federal Heights since 1984.

On March 3, colleagues and friends gathered at Bender’s Bar & Grill in the recreation district’s Ice Centre at the Promenade to honor the man who hooked up the water park’s first pipes and guided it for 40 years and to wish him a happy retirement and continued good health.

“I’m very overwhelmed by today’s activities and being able to see all these people I worked with for so many years and people that I really depended on,” Loose said in an interview. “I always felt like I never really accomplished anything by myself, but as a team I felt like we accomplished great things at Hyland Hills.”

Loose said he hoped to have a few more years left before retirement, but multiple forms of cancer forced him to call it quits early. His cancer is currently in remission.

He said a nurse for his chemotherapy treatment told him fighting cancer would be a full-time job. Loose said she was right. So he walked into Executive Director Yvonne Fischbach’s office with his calendar of cancer treatment, filling his next eight months, told her she’d better find a new general manager.

“That’s my new fight, but right now I’m winning and I can’t be happier,” Loose said.

Retiring No. 20 Loose joined the parks and recreation district, after graduating with a degree in recreation administration from the University of Northern Colorado in 1973. It was his first job.

Mike Shelton, who has taken the helm as general manager, announced

the retirement of radio No. 20 and presented Loose with a gold-plated Motorola HT 1000 two-way radio. Shelton explained radios are a key tool in communication among water park staff and Loose always used radio No. 20.

“It will never be used in radio service again at Water World,” Shelton said of No. 20.

Maintenance staff also presented Loose with a No. 20 Water World jersey.

Like Loose, Shelton has spent many years with the recreation district; he played basketball in the district at age seven and started working at Water World at age 15.

“Steve has been a great mentor and I’ve worked with him for many years so the transition will be seamless,” Shelton said in an interview.

Throughout the luncheon, many noted Loose’s work ethic and pointed out he always had a pair of leather work gloves in his back pocket, ready to do anything needed. Loose said that as a child he often helped his father repair barbed wire fences on their farm outside Brush. He said the habit of carrying them around stuck.

Loose said he “never dreamed it in a million years” that he would be a water park general manager.

“I guess it’s all about being at the right place at the right time,” Loose said.

Loose said he was thankful for the opportunity.

“I’ve always felt in my entire time at Water World was that there were two things that I got the greatest pleasure from,” Loose said. “No. 1 was seeing the smiles on guests faces as they were having fun in the park, and the second thing was providing jobs for all the kids in the community and being a small part in their development to become great people.”

Beyond anecdotal evidence of Loose’s success on the job, there are notable marks of achievement. Last year, Loos was inducted into the World Water Park Association Hall of Fame.

Loose helped physically construct the first water slide in 1979.

17CW3039 The Well Augmentation Subdistrict of the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District (WAS), 3209 West 28th Street, Greeley, Colorado 80634. (970) 3304540. Please send future correspondence and pleadings to Bradley C. Grasmick, Lawrence Jones Custer Grasmick LLP, 5245 Ronald Reagan Blvd., Ste. 1, Johnstown, CO 80534, 970622-8181. APPLICATION TO ADD WELLS TO THE WAS AUGMENTATION PLAN, IN WELD, ADAMS AND MORGAN COUNTIES. 2. Structure to be Added and Augmented. 2.1 Decreed Name of Structure to be Added and Augmented.

Those 110 wells shown on Exhibit 1 attached hereto (“Added Wells”). 2.1.1. Names and Addresses of Well Owners. See Exhibit 1 attached hereto. 2.1.2 Decrees. See Exhibit 2 attached hereto. 2.1.3 Permit Nos. Included on Exhibit 2 attached hereto. 2.1.4 WAS Contract numbers are listed on Exhibit 2 attached hereto. 3. Proposed Terms and Conditions. 3.1 These Added Wells will be added to WAS Augmentation Plan pursuant to ¶11.1.2 of the Decree in Case No. 03CW99. 3.1 The Added Wells were included in the original application for WAS’s Plan for Augmentation in Case No. 03CW99. The Added Wells were included in the 2003, 2004 and 2005 SWSPs made for structures to augmented by the WAS Augmentation Plan. 3.2 Wells Removed by 03CW099: Pursuant to this Court’s January 17, 2007 Order Regarding Motion to Amend Application in Case No. 03CW99, 105of the Added Wells were removed from the WAS Plan for Augmentation. Pursuant to the January 17, 2007 Order, WAS is responsible for replacing all depletions from pumping these wells for years 2003, 2004 and 2005, but is not required to replace any depletions which occurred before 2003. These wells have not been pumped pursuant to the WAS Augmentation Plan since 2005. Once added to the WAS Augmentation Plan, WAS will be responsible for replacing any depletions from the Added Wells which occurred prior to 2003 which are not already being replaced by WAS, but will not be responsible for the replacement of any depletions which occurred from the pumping of Added Wells after 2005. 3.3 Wells Removed Subsequent to 03CW099: 3.3.1 Pursuant to the decree entered Case No. 14CW3031 the Added Well, WDID 0205087 was removed from the WAS Plan for Augmentation. 3.1.2 Pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 14CW3112 the Added Well, WDID 0207194 was removed from the WAS Plan for Augmentation. 3.1.3 Pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 15CW3140 the Added Well, WDID 0108782 was removed from the WAS Plan for Augmentation. 3.1.4 Pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 15CW3042 the Added Well, WDID 0207056 was removed from the WAS Plan for Augmentation. 3.1.5 Pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 16CW3026 the Added Wells, WDID 0208256 and WDID 0208417 were removed from the WAS Plan for Augmentation. 3.1.6 Pursuant to Paragraph 11.1.3 of the WAS Decree, WAS shall continue to replace all out-of-priority depletions caused by a Covered Well before it is deleted. An October 18, 2007 Order Regarding Motion to Amend Applications in this case stated that WAS is responsible for depletions of any deleted wells that were included in SWSPs filed by WAS in its 2003, 2004 and 2005 SWSP. Once added to the WAS Augmentation Plan, WAS will be responsible for replacing depletions from prior pumping of the Added Wells pursuant to Paragraph 11.1.3 of the WAS Decree and the October 18, 2007 Order of this Court as shown in Exhibit 4.

In addition, WAS will replace depletions from prior pumping of the Added Wells pursuant to any approved Substitute Water Supply Plan which authorizes the Added Wells to operate before the court approves this application adding the Added Wells to the WAS Augmentation Plan.3.2 The terms and conditions for the Added Wells will be the same as for the other Covered Wells in the Decree. The consumptive use factors will be 60% for flood irrigated acres and 80% for sprinkler irrigated acres. The method for determining future Well depletions will be those set out in the Decree at ¶¶16-19. The well will be subject to all the terms and conditions for operation as for other Covered Wells in the Decree. 3.3 Net Stream Depletions. Depletions resulting from the consumptive use of groundwater and accretions resulting from deep percolation of groundwater applied for irrigation were determined to deplete/accrete to the WAS administrative reaches shown in Exhibit 3 using the bounded alluvial aquifer method developed by Glover. The aquifer parameters to be used for each of the Added Wells including: (1) harmonic mean transmissivity, (2) total distance of alluvial aquifer boundary from the river, and (3) distance from the well to the river as well as the WAS administrative reach are shown in in Exhibit 3. A specific yield of 0.2 will be used for each of the Added Wells. 3.4 Post Pumping Depletions from the 110 wells to be added to the WAS Plan. Upon entry of a decree in this case, WAS will replace a total of 1355.1 acre-feet of net depletions extending from March 2017 through May of 2083. 4. Distribution of Future Well Depletions. The Decree requires WAS to distribute well depletions between river reaches. ¶22.2 of the Decree states: “In the event of the addition or deletion of a well under this plan pursuant to ¶¶11.1.2 and 11.1.3, the Court shall approve and order such adjustments to the percentages set forth in ¶¶22.2.1, 22.2.2, and 22.2.4 as necessary to ensure that depletions continue to be replaced at locations necessary to prevent injury.” The wells being added to the Decree by this application will require a modification in the percentage distribution of depletions accruing in Reach C. In order to effectuate the language of ¶22.2 the percentages set forth in 22.2.2 of 03CW099 will be revised as follows: “22.2.2 Reach C: 51 percent of the stream depletions from Covered Wells and Augmentation Wells located within Reach C shall be considered to occur immediately above the headgate of the Union Ditch located in the SW1/4 NE1/4 of Section 18, Township 4 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M. The remaining 49 percent of the stream depletions from Covered Wells and Augmentation Wells located within Reach C shall be considered to occur immediately above the headgate of the Lower Latham Ditch located in the NW1/4 NE1/4 of Section 31, Township 5 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M.” 5 pages, 4 exhibits.

Public stargazing with a 14-inch telescope is open to all

BY MEGAN M. CRUMLEY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Front Range Community College at Westminster encourages the public to use their observatory - and sometimes those uses can be very personal.

Lindsay Rocks, physics and astronomy faculty, said the 14-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, housed in a state-of-the-art 15-foot dome, is a little like a Google Map of the sky. It has a sky map programmed in and a list stars, constellations and features to view.

The operator can also enter their own coordinates, which is helpful if there is something new to look at, such as a comet, or a particular star of interest.

That was the case during a recent class, she said.

“Several of the women in the class had lost babies,” Rocks said. “There were three women in that class who had (named stars after their babies, and they had) the coordinates. So, we got to go look at their stars one night, and that was really special.”

The observatory, located on the east end of the Westminster campus of 112th Avenue, was built in 2008.

The telescope and dome are precision pieces of equipment, costing about $8,000 each. But the concrete floor is something really special,

she said. It cost $12,000.

“It is a high precision, level concrete floor,” she said. “You don’t realize, but all the traffic on 112th makes the ground shake, and even tiny shaking makes your view all blurry. The telescope is on a concrete pillar that goes down 15 feet below the ground.”

The college’s astronomy department offers several public stargazing events during each semester so that the community can enjoy the facility.

“There are plenty of nights when there are no classes using it,” Rocks said. “It seems a shame to let such a nice opportunity go to waste when there are people in the community who might enjoy using it.”

“Overall, we’d like to introduce more people, particularly families, to astronomy,” Rocks said.

With that in mind, the Astronomy Club at the Westminster campus donated a small telescope to the Anythink Libraries in 2014. It is available for checkout at the Wright Farms branch.

It’s been a popular donation, Rocks said. “(The library) just sent me an email saying how many times the telescope had been checked out; it had been out 60 times or something, and there is a waiting list for it,” Rocks said.

The next public stargazing event is scheduled for Thursday, March 15, at 7:30 p.m.

A solar observing event is scheduled for Wednesday, March 22, at 10:30 a.m.
