Highlands Ranch second-graders visit pen pals at retirement community in Centennial By Christy Steadman

The second-graders from Cherry Hills Christian School in Highlands Ranch performed three songs for their pen pals at Holly Creek. Pictured are the students singing “It’s a Small World (after all).”
Inside the retirement home, about 60 seniors waited in the reception hall. For 45 minutes, they waited. And wondered. “When are they going to be here?” “Highlands Ranch isn’t that far from here.” To pass the time, some rearranged the ice-creamcone-shaped bubble bottles on the table. One man asked for pointers with his digital camera, fretting about how to shoot the best pictures possible. A woman wrote her name on a napkin to reserve her spot at a table.

Deputy shoots robbery suspect at shopping center Arapahoe Sheriff ’s Office investigating incident in Centennial parking lot By Taryn Walker
twalker@colorado communitymedia.com A robbery suspect at a Centennial shopping center was shot by a deputy after striking another deputy with a vehicle, an Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office spokesman said. Bureau Chief Vince Line said the suspect — whose name was not immediately released — received non-life-threatening injuries, as did the deputy who was hit by the automobile in the May 5 incident. At 12:30 a.m., law enforcement responded to reports of an armed man attempting to rob a liquor store at the shopping center in the 5000 block of East Arapahoe Road. When deputies arrived at the shopping center, the suspect was in a vehicle, the Shooting continues on Page 9

A Centennial woman tied to four drug-related deaths was sentenced to 18 years in prison. Almeda Beth Sullivan, 52, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the 2011 death of Carter Higdon, 21. Prosecutors say Higdon died of an overdose from a mix of drugs provided by Sullivan, Sullivan including a potent prescription drug called Opana. The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said Higdon’s was the fourth death tied to drugs dealt by Sullivan. Three of them occurred within one month in early 2008. On Jan. 11, 2008, Sierra Cochran, 19, came over to Sullivan’s home, where she stayed the night. On Jan. 13, she was found dead of an overdose. On Feb. 10, 2008, Lyndsey Jo Saidy, 28, went to the defendant’s home and purchased prescription drugs. On Feb. 12, she was discovered dead in her Centennial home, two miles away from the defendant’s residence. At around 10 p.m. Feb. 11, 2008, Martynas “Tez” Simanskas, 20, purchased Opana from Sullivan. On Feb. 12, Simanskas was found dead in his Centennial home, one mile away from Sullivan’s home. Higdon died Sept. 30, 2011. Sullivan picked him up at 4:30 p.m. to go to a bar and he spent the night at her home, the district attorney’s office stated in a news release. On Oct. 1, he was found deceased in her home. A straw was found in his pocket with Opana residue and Sullivan’s DNA on it. Sullivan admitted to providing Higdon with prescription drugs in the past, according to the district attorney’s office. There also was evidence that Sullivan would host gatherings in her home and distribute prescription drugs, the DA’s release stated. A witness testified the defendant “hands out pills like candy.” Witnesses also said Sullivan would blame the victims for taking the pills she sold to them. Sullivan was charged in 2011 with first-degree murder with extreme in difference for Higdon’s death. She reached a plea agreement May 1 and was immediately sentenced to 18 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections. “In this case, Almeda Sullivan was held accountable for the murder of Carter Higdon, but too many dealers continue to distribute opioids to our community thinking they can get away with murder,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. Sullivan worked for the Cherry Creek School District from 2003-05 as a bus driver and teacher’s aide.

Cat back home after I-25 rescue Parker feline traveled eight miles before police officer found him By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rolo the cat was huddled next to a concrete barrier on an Interstate 25 median during morning rush hour when Lone Tree police officer Andrew Brown and a good Samaritan found him. He was almost eight miles and four days from his home in Parker, his chin scraped, coat dirty, pads raw and claws worn down so significantly his rescuers first thought he was declawed. “He was in a little ball against the concrete wall, with only about two feet between him and thousands of cars going by,” Brown
said. “I was scared he was going to run away (from me) and get hit by a car.” But Rolo allowed the officer to pick him up, put him in his patrol car and take him to the Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center. The veterinarian who examined him knew one thing immediately: The 2-year-old Maine coon cat with a square of blue cloth around his neck was someone’s beloved pet. “I saw that bandanna and I said, `Somebody loves him,’” said veterinarian Pilar Starman. That someone is Orietta Harris, who had adopted Rolo as an 8-week-old kitten to help her deal with anxiety. Harris and her daughter Erin were immediately entranced by Rolo’s unique mannerisms. “He walks like a dog with a leash,” said Harris. “He loves snow, he loves the cold climate. He’s a crack-up. Along with him being

gorgeous, he has a personality I’ve never seen in a cat before.” Rolo had gone out for his usual 15 minutes of sitting just outside the front door of his home near E-470 and Jordan Road in Parker on April 11. When Harris saw he wasn’t at the door, she stood outside shaking a bag of Temptations cat treats — a time-tested way to call Rolo home. He didn’t respond. Night fell. A day passed. Another night. And another day. Harris experienced such anxiety she checked herself into Parker Adventist for a day. “I went into such sadness,” she said. “It’s almost like losing a child.” At about 8 a.m. April 14, officer Brown was called to “trouble” on I-25 in the construction zone area. At least two drivers had stopped in rush hour traffic to try to rescue

a cat they’d spotted in the median. Brown and one driver searched the median until they spotted Rolo. “I never believed that call when I got it,” said Harris, whose eyes tear as she beams at Rolo. “I haven’t been this happy since the birth of my kids. It’s surreal to wake up every morning with him licking my cheek.” Rolo’s scrapes are almost healed and his enthusiasm for the outdoors is undimmed; he hurries to the door whenever Harris or her daughter approaches it. But he won’t be venturing out unchaperoned again. “No more outdoors for Rolo,” Harris said. “We have a beautiful harness for him.” For Brown, who recently reunited a Boston terrier with its owners, such tasks are among the best parts of his job. “I have a dog and a cat; they are part of our family, so I totally understand,” he said.

Jury convicts chase suspect Driver faces minimum of 64 years in prison

A man who led authorities on a dangerous, lengthy pursuit during a morning rush hour on Interstate 25 was found guilty of attempted manslaughter, avoiding a conviction on the first-degree attempted murder charge he initially faced. A Douglas County jury found Ryan Stone guilty on 18 of 20 charges for a March 2014 chase that ended with a violent collision at Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street. Stone, 29, faces a minimum of 64 years in prison. The verdict was delivered after more than a day of deliberations on April 29. A sentencing date had not immediately been set. The jury also decided Stone was not guilty of one count of kidnapping and one count of attempted robbery. The 75-mile pursuit was captured by an 850 KOA news helicopter and televised live. It forced authorities to shut down entrance ramps and Stone lay down spike strips. Stone was charged with attempted first-degree murder with extreme indifference for striking Colorado State Patrol Trooper Bellamann Hee with a car traveling 94 mph while Hee was putting down a spike strip on E-470 near Chambers Road. But the jury found Stone guilty of the lesser charge of attempted manslaughter. Parker resident Stacy Rader, whose vehicle was T-boned in the crash that ended the chase, said she is satisfied with the verdict. She attended the trial, in part, to support Hee and a 4-year-old child was who in the back seat of the first of several vehicles Stone stole. “I think the right thing happened,” she said just after the verdict was read at the Douglas County Justice Center in Castle Rock. Then, referring to Stone, Rader said, “I’m just a little emotional to see his family so upset.” Mark Hurlburt, deputy district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, said, “A menace has been taken off the streets.” “There was a child that could have been hurt. Injuries could have been off the charts. He absolutely needs to be put away.” Attorneys for Stone said he was running on fear during his flight from Longmont to Douglas County. During closing arguments in the trial April 27, they argued the Centennial man did not knowingly commit the crimes for which he’s charged, a key component in finding him guilty. Prosecutors said the actions caught on video tell a different story, one of a man who acted with knowing disregard for others. Stone, who has a prior criminal history, stole multiple vehicles throughout the metro area — including one in Longmont with the 4-year-old child inside — and eluded police, striking several vehicles in the process. He was found guilty of first-degree assault, vehicular eluding, motor vehicle theft and child abuse, among other charges. A toxicology test showed Stone tested positive for methamphetamine, marijuana

and Lorazepam, which is typically used to treat anxiety.
Closing arguments
Defense attorney Leslee Barnicle said the video was not sufficient evidence on which to find Stone guilty. “You can watch that video 100 times; you will never know what was going through Mr. Stone’s mind,” she told the jury. Prosecutor Laura Wilson said the video tells the story of Stone’s intent well. “There are some crimes that occur in the dark, where there’s nobody to see; this isn’t one of those,” she said. “This occurred under the watchful eye of the media.” “(Stone) was going to do whatever it took to get away, no matter who it hurt, no matter how badly.” Barnicle told the jury Stone didn’t know a child was inside the first vehicle he stole. It was left running outside a Longmont gas station while the child’s mother went inside. The mother testified that her son was sleeping when she got out of the Ford Edge. Barnicle suggested the 4-year-old boy may have unbuckled his car seat and hid during Stone’s hour-long drive. “Mr. Stone never knew that child was there,” Barnicle said. “There is no evidence that says that he did. He’s standing on the back seat (when the car is found). Where has he been this whole time? Do you know? No. Do you know if Mr. Stone knew? No. Your job is to hold them to the burden of beyond a reasonable doubt.” Barnicle characterized the collision with Hee as “an unfortunate accident.” She also suggested the high-speed police chase should have been called off. “The extreme indifference the government wants you to put on Ryan Stone is greatly exacerbated by the actions of law enforcement,” she said. Prosecutors said defense attorneys were attempting to shift the blame. According to the defense, Wilson said, “This was everyone’s fault but Ryan Stone’s. It was Martha Rodriguez’s fault for leaving her child in the car. We heard how it’s Trooper Hee’s fault because he was doing his job. (And) those darn police officers — if they just hadn’t done their jobs, trying to stop this car.” In fact, Wilson said, “If Ryan Stone hadn’t made the decisions he made on March 12, 2014, we wouldn’t be here today.” The prosecutor said Stone’s actions — which allegedly included driving head-on toward police cars and forcibly removing people from their cars — didn’t indicate fear. “He’s afraid when he gets caught; who wouldn’t be?” Wilson said. “But he’s not afraid up until that point. He knows exactly what he’s doing.”

Housing authority appoints new director Longtime No. 2 promoted following Shaffner’s departure By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com If there’s one thing Jo Hamit knows about, it’s stability. A third-generation Coloradan, the new executive director of South Metro Housing Options grew up in Englewood and still lives there today. She spent nine years as secondin-command at that city’s housing authority after earning her bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Denver. Her husband of 32 years, Jim, works as the operations manager at the Englewood Housing Authority and is
Wedding Melissa Elizabeth Kenyon and Jeffrey William Chrjapin
Mr. Christopher and Mrs. Ruth Kenyon of Roswell, Georgia announce the marriage of their daughter, Melissa Elizabeth Kenyon, 28, to Jeffrey William Chrjapin, 27, son of Mr. Victor and Mrs. Karen Chrjapin of Edisto Island, South Carolina. The wedding ceremony was held May 23, 2015 at Roswell River Landing and officiated by Reverend Blake Hudson. A formal reception followed at the historic Primrose Cottage. Jessica Kenyon, the bride’s younger sister, was the maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Natalie Wethington, Marisa Stainkamp, Brittany
Carpenter, Nicole Martens, Alexandra Johnson, Gracie Hansen, Kimberly Rhodes and Mandy Miller. Rhys Breazeale was the best man. Groomsmen were Jason Chrjapin, Jared Williams, David Hogan, Kurt Mast, Travis Christensen, Derek Bradley and Jeremy Tunstall. Melissa graduated with her Bachelor’s in Communication from University of Colorado Boulder and her Master’s in Communication Management from University of Colorado Denver. She works in marketing and public relations. Jeffrey graduated with his Bachelor’s in Maritime Operations and Technology from the United States Merchant Marine Academy. He is pursuing his Master’s in Management and Leadership from Liberty University. He works as a Chief Mate. Melissa and Jeffrey reside in Englewood, Colorado. This fall, the couple will travel to Australia and New Zealand for their honeymoon.
a Littleton native. “I never got too far from home,” she laughs. But with the sudden departure of Chris Shaffner, who was in the position for about nine months, stability might be just the ticket. He resigned his position effective April 3 to become the vice president of public/private partnerships with CoBank. The SMHO board of commissioners unanimously promoted Hamit to replace him during its April 7 meeting. “She has been the glue that has help keep the organization performing at such a high level since the departure of Dan Burnham,” said Andrew Hancock, board president. “… We look forward to supporting Jo in taking SMHO to the next level.” It’s actually her second stint at the helm, having filled in for about three months as interim director after Dan Burnham retired last May, before Shaffner started. She’s been the assistant director of SMHO for the last 10 years. “I’ve always had a passion for housing,” said Hamit. “Housing is basic. Once a person has housing, then they can deal with all the other things going on in their lives. If you’re moving around, it’s disruptive. It’s like the foundation is housing, and life is like a plant that grows from it.” It’s been part of her career for years, having spent some time as a real-estate agent and working for the Denver Urban Renewal Authority as an administrator. That was in the 1980s, when the big projects were renovations of the old Denver Dry Goods and Montgomery Ward buildings. And as with any urban-renewal authority, there was some controversy around those projects — an experience good for any housing director to have lived through. “We have to work with the community, and we have to be responsive,” she said. “It’s a give and take. You can’t always please everybody.” The last big battle for SMHO was Emerald Point, west of Progress Park, which would have been 40 units in nine buildings, plus a community center, on a site that used to have just two houses. Now it’s just an empty lot, after neighbors argued against its proposed density. “We’d love to just build single-family houses, but you have to look at economies of scale,” said Hamit. “That project may or may not be something we’ll do. The board doesn’t know. We’ll look at it in the coming years, and figure something out.” Littleton resident Sharleen Williams, an active watcher of SMHO, hopes Hamit will continue on the path that Shaffner began. “I loved his ideas, and he did seriously want to fix the organization,” she said. “He truly cared about his clients and wanted to provide them with decent and safe living conditions with good neighbors whom they could learn from and be mentored by. Mr. Shaffner was busy reorganizing the agency into an efficient, responsible, well-run organi-

zation. It was painful for me when he let me know he was leaving. I do not know Ms. Hamit. I will just have to wait and see.” In the meantime, Hamit says no radical changes are in her immediate plans. “It’s a little too early to tell what direction we’re going to go, but I think we’re doing pretty well right now,” she said. “We need to look at ways to be more entrepreneurial, and find ways to partner with private business and nonprofits. … We have a fabulous board. They’re engaged, thoughtful, helpful. And a great staff. That’s what makes it really worthwhile for me, is to have people buy into what we do.”

Construction-defects measure rejected Associated Press

A long-awaited bill to make it harder to sue Colorado homebuilders for defective construction has failed in the Colorado Legislature. The bill was rejected last week by a House committee controlled by Democrats. The measure would have revised procedures for construction lawsuits in multifamily developments. The vote on Senate Bill 15-177 was 6-5, on party lines. Supporters, including Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, have said that Colorado’s law about defective construction is hampering efforts to add affordable condo units. But other Democrats say the proposed changes would have been too favorable
to builders and developers and would have stripped consumer protections. “The problem in Colorado is a shortage of affordable housing, and allowing builders to build defective housing is not the solution,” Rep. Max Tyler, DLakewood, said in a news release. “Bad builders shouldn’t be able to dodge their responsibility to stand behind their work, and homeowners shouldn’t lose their civil right to protect their investment — in court, if necessary.” A few municipalities in Colorado, including Lakewood and Lone Tree, have passed ordinances addressing the construction-defects issue. Littleton recently introduced a measure on first reading that was awaiting a public hearing and final vote.
Southern Hospitality welcomes patrons Staff report
Fans of southern barbecue can satisfy their cravings at Lone Tree’s newest restaurant, Southern Hospitality. The restaurant in the shopping center northwest of Quebec Street and Park Meadtows Drive held its grand opening May 1. The concept for Southern Hospitality came from singer and barbecue enthusiast Justin Timberlake, a Memphis native, and New York nightclub operator Eytan Sugarman. Their goal was to offer high-quality, southern-inspired food, an array of micro-brews, .bottled beers and bourbons, served in a hip ,and high-energy environment. - This new location previously was home to Pasquini’s restaurant.

Put on a happy face, and you’ll be noticed One of the best ways to position yourself for a new job or a promotion is to perform your current role the best you possibly can. I mean perform it flawlessly, excellently, and with pride and passion. I have seen this happen time and time again. And what I am talking about when I say I have seen it happen time and time again is that I have seen people doing such an amazing job in their current position that another manager notices their attitude, behavior and productivity and offers them the opportunity to move into a different department or invites them to work on a bigger project. There are other examples of sales people doing such a great job selling their products or services that the customer becomes so impressed that they offer the sales person a job selling directly for them. Now the key here is the way that we go about our day-to-day tasks and activities, how we actually perform for our current employer. If we are operating at the highest possible level, doing our work cheerfully and with purpose, and delivering and even exceeding results, we will be noticed and recognized, rewarded, and maybe even recruited. There are some people who fall into a different pattern; they get trapped into thinking that they are so unhappy with
their company, their boss, or their associates that their work starts to suffer, their poor attitude becomes painfully obvious to everyone else, and their body language reflects the disposition of someone who is generally unhappy, unmotivated and unproductive. These folks are usually already looking for another job or position. What they don’t understand is that no one, no company, and no manager wants to even look at or talk to a candidate who is so unhappy or disengaged. When we can perform our jobs in such a way where other people see our effort and our enthusiasm, opportunities will find us for sure. It’s not an intentional audition, but really when we perform at the highest level possible, others are taking notice. They may not have a need for your talent or skills, but they probably
know someone and may talk about you so highly that others will come looking for you. When I was managing and leading a team, I used to share this concept with my staff. I used to tell them the biggest compliment they could receive was when one of our customers or partners would come to them with a job offer. They should work every day as if they were being interviewed for their dream job. Could you imagine what the culture and the office environment would be like if we all raised the bar and elevated our game? Could you imagine if we infused that effort with incredible skills and talent? And how awesome would it be if we layered in a positive attitude and healthy spirit of teamwork? Are you someone who is shining so brightly you might get promoted or recruited? Have you seen someone performing at the highest level and you wish they worked for you? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when what we do is so inspiring to others, it really will be a better than good week.

Reducing red tape will help incomes, outcomes Colorado’s world-class universities, highly educated workforce, excellent quality of life and pioneering spirit have made the state a hub for inventors, entrepreneurs and innovators. The state’s diverse bioscience industry in particular is thriving, creating good-paying jobs and bolstering the economy. The industry currently encompasses more than 600 companies, employs 27,000 people with an average salary of $84,000, and adds $10 billion to the state payroll annually. The collaboration between private companies and public policy has played no small part in supporting bioscience companies. Unfortunately, America is still ranked 50th in the world for getting medical products to market, and such products are often available to patients two to
eight years earlier in Europe than the in the United States. While we have taken steps to reduce unnecessary regulations and cut red tape, there is still more we can do to spur innovation and increase Colorado companies’ competitiveness on the global market. We recently launched our Colorado

Colorado cracking down on pot pesticides
Authorities found thousands of plants treated with unauthorized chemicals
By Kristen Wyatt
Associated Press
Colorado is cracking down on pesticide use in the marijuana industry, trying to end years of sloppy oversight of which chemicals are used on the nascent industry. A state Senate panel voted 7-0 last week to give the Colorado Department of Agriculture $300,000 to step up pesticide enforcement in the new marijuana industry. The appropriation came after Denver authorities found tens of thousands of marijuana plants
Pen pals

Finally, the yellow school bus pulled up to Holly Creek and about 70 second-graders, excitedly yelling and laughing, poured into the Centennial home, eager to meet their pen pals for the first time. Spending time with children, Jim Burghardt, 96, said, “makes life worth living.” In September, the children, from Cherry Hills Christian School in Highlands Ranch, started learning how to write a letter — how to structure it and what questions to ask of their senior-aged pen pals. By April, four rounds of letters had been exchanged. Hand-written letters “seem to be somewhat of a lost art form these days,” said Jamie Hynum, parent organizer of the pen pal outreach campaign. “It’s a good way to connect with an older generation who may not be up to speed with email.” The project’s culmination was the April 24 meeting of the two generations. Old and young, alike, couldn’t wait. The second-graders piled in the reception hall and formed semi-organized rows to perform three songs. By the end of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” the seniors were smiling and clapping — some so moved that tears of joy filled their eyes.

sheriff’s office said in a news release. After deputies attempted to make contact, the suspect drove through the parking lot, made several turns and struck a deputy who was responding on foot, according to the release. Another deputy then shot the suspect. Both the suspect and deputy were given first-aid treatment and transported to a local hospital, Line said.

These companies are all developing unique, cutting-edge technology, but one thing they all shared was a desire to work with the FDA to remove burdensome regulations. We successfully passed a measure as part of the 2012 FDA Reform Bill, to create a “Breakthrough Therapy” designation for certain drugs and treatments that show dramatically positive responses early in development. This “Breakthrough” designation can reduce the FDA approval process by up to 10 years, ensuring that life-saving drugs developed by innovative bioscience companies aren’t mired in Washington bureaucracy. Out of the last 55 drugs approved in the past six years, 23 of them have been approved as a “Breakthrough Therapy.” Also included in the 2012 FDA Reform Act was a bill we sponsored to reduce the regulatory burdens that unnecessarily delay new medical devices from reaching the
treated with unauthorized chemicals, and ordered quarantines The Denver quarantines at 11 separate pot-growing warehouses in recent weeks have underscored an open secret in Colorado’s nascent weed business — that although the state outlines which chemicals commercial pot growers can use on their plants, it lacks manpower to enforce those rules. A requirement that commercial marijuana undergo contaminant testing has been on the books for years in Colorado, but those testing requirements have yet to be implemented because of testing backlogs. And there’s no contaminant-testing requirement for medical pot, though a bill to require such testing by 2016 is pending. The vote May 1 and the recent quarantines by Denver health and fire-safety offi-
cials indicate those days are ending. Sen. Pat Steadman, a Denver Democrat who sponsored the pesticide enforcement addition, told fellow senators the administration wants support for the Department of Agriculture to do more work with pesticide use. Until now, Colorado’s pot pesticide oversight mostly has been left to a patchwork of city and county health inspectors. “I would prefer that the Department of Agriculture have the authority as it does on all other pesticide issues,” said Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling. The amendment came on a larger marijuana taxing and spending proposal that awaits a vote by the full Senate. The bill includes some new uses for pot taxes, including money for the Colorado
Then came the moment they had been waiting for — meeting their pen pals. A bit of chaos ensued until everyone found his or her partner. Conversation swirled with questions custom-made by the children for their new friends: “What was your favorite TV show as a child?” “What jobs have you had?” “Did you live on a farm, in a city or a town?” The residents of Holly Creek responded and asked questions of their own: What is their favorite subject in school? Do they have brothers or sisters? What sports do they like to play? “These new friendships expand the worldview of these students,” second-grade teacher Kerry Elliott said. “It provides a cross-cultural experience for them that they would not find elsewhere, and sharpens their social skills in a setting that is relatively unknown to them.” For about an hour, the pen pals ate cookies, drank lemonade, read books and blew bubbles. And then, it was time to go. The seniors and the children hugged and waved goodbye as teachers ushered their students toward the front door. “I think everybody is a kid at heart,” Holly Creek volunteer coordinator Kitty Dobbs said. “This brings it out.”

Hill’s Ribs & Stuff was knocked out by the suspect’s car, Line said. Crime-scene tape and several wooden 4-by-4’s were seen outside of the barbecue eatery the morning of the incident, as deputies were still gathering video footage for evidence from businesses around the area. Ron Mitchell, the restaurant’s owner, said he’s just glad nothing happened to his business and that everyone is safe. Line said he doesn’t anticipate the investigation will wrap up anytime soon. “It’s a rather lengthy investigation. We have a lot of evidence to review and I don’t anticipate releasing any more information until there’s an accident report filed,” he said. Line said the incident involved a large amount of space — “Pretty much the entire parking lot,” he said.
market. In addition, we passed a measure to track all prescription drugs from the time they are manufactured to the moment they are picked up at the drugstore. On the Senate HELP Committee Innovation Working Group, we are collaborating to develop more common-sense measures to increase opportunities for the high-tech industry, particularly the bioscience field. We are currently working to pass the MEDTECH Act, which would exempt low-risk medical software and apps that promote health and fitness from FDA regulations, benefiting companies like Welltok right here in Denver. We also recently introduced a bipartisan bill to help bring breakthrough medical devices that show lifesaving potential to patients faster. More than a decade ago, policy-makers, scholars and businesses leaders from throughout the state came together to develop the foundation of what is now one of the top 10 bioscience industries in the country. At the national level, we will continue to advocate for practical measures to reduce red tape and foster innovation, driving better health-care outcomes and strengthening our economy. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.
State Fair and to start an anti-bullying program. The bill also sends voters a ballot measure asking for permission for the state to keep some $58 million in new pot taxes despite constitutional spending restrictions that would otherwise require them to be refunded. The pesticide part of the bill is a reaction to concerns about the kinds of chemicals being used on commercial marijuana. In the Denver quarantines, health inspectors detailed the use of chemicals labeled for use on ornamental plants, not plants to be consumed by humans. “It is fair to say there are some practices out there that could pose a public health risk, and we are intervening in those cases,” Danica Lee of the Denver Department of Environmental Health told KUSA-TV.

Mental-health program aims for better state Efforts were spurred by theater, school tragedies By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com After the Aurora theater shooting, after the Arapahoe High School tragedy, state legislators finally got it. In 2014, they came together in a bipartisan manner to approve $25 million annually to deal with the escalating issue of mental health in Colorado. That launched a network of crisis centers, a hotline, even mobile units to serve people faced with their most desperate moments at any time, on any day. One of those people, as described by Gov. John Hickenlooper, was a 65-year-old Denver man found alone and outdoors in subzero weather. “He was sitting on a bench, weeping,” said Hickenlooper. “His walker was beside him. He had decided that his only solution was to lie down, curl up and slowly freeze to death.” But because the new network had been put into place, the man was able to get help and find housing. On May 1, Hickenlooper was at Little-
ton’s Santa Fe House walk-in crisis center, operated by Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network, to celebrate such victories by proclaiming May Mental Health Month. “We are all here supporting a stronger state of mind in Colorado,” he said. Alongside Hickenlooper was Jake Miller, a young man who has claimed his own victory and now helps others do the same as a peer specialist at Santa Fe House. “I’m a walking, talking, breathing example of how somebody can break through it and survive a crisis,” said Miller. “There are friendly faces here, people are kind to you, and people want just to talk to you. That can really make a difference. And having the courage to walk in is really a great strength, being able to recognize when you’re in crisis.” Perhaps shockingly, Miller and others like him have answered 50,000 calls to the hotline since it launched last August. More than 5,000 people have walked into the 24hour clinics since they opened last December, and mobile units have responded to more than 6,000 cries for help since then. “In many ways, we are disproportionately challenged,” said Hickenlooper, citing Colorado’s alarmingly high rates of suicide and prescription-drug abuse. “It really

The seven young members of Climb Out of the Darkness Expedition are answering that call in a big way. This summer, they will attempt to scale all 54 of Colorado’s 14ers in an effort to bring awareness to mentalhealth issues. “For sure, we are going to fight some battles on those mountains,” said team leader Anthony Reinert. “The stigma behind mental health is deadly, and has claimed the lives of too many. We climb in solidarity with the people who fight their own battles every day.”
doesn’t paint a very good picture. … But the hotline allows them, in real time, to find support and get assistance at a time when it really can make a difference.” Former state Sen. Andrew Romanoff, now president of Mental Health America of Colorado, called on all citizens to stand against the stigma and silent shame of mental illness. “Our nation is under attack,” he said. “We confront an enemy as old as the human race, an enemy more lethal than we can imagine.”

Royalty crowned for Elizabeth Stampede Cherry Creek student will be the 2016 attendant By Rick Gustafson
Special to Colorado Community Media With the Royalty Clinics attended and the application deadlines met, it came down to the competition at Casey Jones Park on May 2 to determine the Royal Court for the 2016 Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo. Following a daylong competition, Kelly Sweigart, of Elizabeth, was named the 2016 Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo queen and Taylor Braun, of Englewood, 2016 attendant. Sweigart will be starting her senior year at Elizabeth High School in the fall. Her family has been involved with the Elizabeth Stampede for nearly 12 years, and she hopes to share her positive experiences with the Stampede. She is
a member of the National Honor Society, lettered in basketball, and will apply to college with the goal of becoming a dermatologist. Braun is a freshman at Cherry Creek High School. She began riding at the age of 7, initially riding English. Her parents took her to her first Elizabeth Stampede when she was 5. The daylong competition began at the Casey Jones rodeo arena, where competitors demonstrated their horsemanship by performing a series of maneuvers, which involved successfully riding an established pattern, a flag run and a queen’s run. According to the competition guidelines, “Each contestant must demonstrate to the committee that they are mounted on a wellbroke horse that is accustomed to loud noises and commotion.” Throughout the morning, the three judges queried the contestants on a range of topics, testing their knowledge of equine health and horse tack. One line of ques-
tioning presented a hypothetical challenge from anti-rodeo activists. Following a break for lunch, contestants modeled formal western wear and gave a speech lasting up to three minutes. More questions followed the speeches before the three judges tallied their scores. The 2016 royalty will be will be presented in the arena during the final rodeo performance on June 7, where they will begin a one-year reign leading up to the 2016 Elizabeth Stampede. Sweigart will succeed Nadia Postek, 2015 queen, who graduates from Regis Jesuit High School this spring. Braun will be taking over for Ashley Baller, 2015 attendant, who is completing her freshman year at CSU. Baller also acted as a coach for Braun leading up to the competition. Eligible contestants for Elizabeth Stampede Royalty are Colorado residents living within 100 miles of Elizabeth, and candi-
Taylor Braun, a Cherry Creek High School freshman, was named the 2016 Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo attendant. Photo by Rick Gustafson dates may compete for the title of queen, attendant or both. The queen and attendant reign for one year and represent the Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo at public events such as regional rodeos and county fairs, parades and royalty luncheons, as well as appearing at
charitable functions and schools. The 2015 Elizabeth Stampede runs from June 5-7. It was named PRCA Small Rodeo of the Year for the third time in 2013. The PRCA is located in Colorado Springs and sanctions rodeos in the United States and Canada.

Denver gets visit from TV foodie “…Of Bikini grills, horse talk and wizards” by Don Hartman, acrylic on canvas, 41”x28” will be included in Don Hartman’s “Two Faces” exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center. Courtesy photos
Exhibit puts on ‘Two Faces’ Housing developer has second life as artist By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Painter Don Hartman’s bio statement begins with a Baltimore childhood memory — the imagination kicked in early. “As a child lying in bed, I would look closely at the floral wallpaper in my room. I would find faces. They would forever change how I viewed my surroundings.” His exhibit, “Two Faces,” runs May 14 to June 26 in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center. He attended Maryland Institute College of Art (“when the moon was in the seventh house …”), studying fine arts and photography, then a summer job led him into the construction industry, which took him to Japan, back to Baltimore, to Phoenix (where he also taught) and then to Grand Junction and Denver. He has been a housing developer with the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless since 2011 and built a 54,000-square-foot Health Center in downtown Denver for the homeless. But, through the years, he has also been painting and looking. “In 1999, inspired by my wife, I began painting again after returning from Takamatsu. I began painting my emotions and thoughts inspired by the happenings of daily life,” he writes. “I would start a new painting by flowing translucent strokes on the canvas. As I layered the strokes, faces would emerge. These faces would soon come to life with color, form and then movement.
“What’s Up?” Don Hartman’s acrylic on canvas 18”x30” is included in his exhibit, “Two Faces” at Town Hall Arts Center. Can you see two faces here? “While developing affordable housing in Phoenix, Arizona, I would often take note of the graffiti I saw in the blighted neighborhoods where I worked. There is a certain spirit I found in those spraypainted walls and buildings in the struggling neighborhoods. These senses would become the `postcards from the hood’ I would create.” Hartman says this show is dedicated to his late brother-in-law Walter. “Walter always supported my work, even early on, although maybe seeing something different himself. When seeing my `What’s Up’ painting for the first time, Walter said `I see two faces.’ I thought WTH!”
IF YOU GO
It would take the costume and makeup crews at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts to disguise Guy Fieri, the distinctive host of the Food Network hit show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” The spiky platinum blond hair, pounds of bling, accessory sunglasses, signature shorts and flip-flops and sidekick red classic Camaro are dead giveaways. So it came as no surprise when alert Denver diners spotted the impish TV show host around town recently. According to a story on Eater Denver (www.denver.eater.com), Fieri spent a couple days filming at Dae Gee, a Korean barbecue spot with outlets in Westminster and Denver, followed by two more stops at Biju’s Little Curry Shop in RiNo and Axios Greek Restaurant in the Berkeley neighborhood. Here’s what Eater said, “One of those was RiNo’s favorite quick-casual spot Biju’s Little Curry Shop. When the restaurant closed on Wednesday (April 22) for the filming of the show, owner Biju Thomas told guests that the Indian eatery was closed for a private event and sent them to neighbor Park Burger for a one-time special made with Biju’s sauce. The other chosen spot for the show was Axios Estiario, a Greek eatery in the rapidly growing Berkeley neighborhood.” Read the rest of the story at www. denver.eater.com/2015/4/24/8493113/ guy-fieri-bijus-little-curry-shop-axiosdiners-driveins-dives. The air dates for the show will be announced on www.foodnetwork.com/ shows/diners-drive-ins-and-dives. html.
Root Down DIA a winner
Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton, is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances. (“Young Frankenstein” opens on May 15 and runs until June 14.)
Hartman will not have a reception, but will be at Stanton Gallery on the opening night of “Young Frankenstein” on May 15.
“GJ Alley” by Don Hartman acrylic on canvas 38”x24” was probably suggested by graffiti he found while living and building in Phoenix. It will be in his exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center.
Root Down DIA, a Mission Yogurt Inc. restaurant, was recognized as Airports Council International-North America’s “2015 Best New Food and Beverage Full-Service Concept” on April 26 during the awards gala at the first-ever ACI-NA Business of Airports Conference in Phoenix, which was attended by more than 500 commercial management, human resource and finance representatives from North America’s airport industry. “Mission Yogurt is honored to be recognized for Root Down DIA by one of the most respected airport trade organizations in the world,” said Rod Tafoya, president of Mission Yogurt Inc. “We’re proud of the success of Root Down at DIA, and look forward to continuing to serve travelers at DEN.”

Arvada has `Saturday Night Fever’ The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities will hold auditions for the musical “Saturday Night Fever” at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., on June 9 and 10 (chorus dance call on June 8) and in New York City on June 4. Denver callbacks are scheduled for June 15. The Arvada Center production will be directed by Arvada Center artistic producer Rod A. Lansberry with musical direction by David Nehls and choreography by Kitty Skillman Hilsabeck. Colorado principal/chorus auditions are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 9 and 10 by appointment only. The women’s chorus dance call is from 10 a.m. to 11:15 a.m., and men’s chorus dance call is from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. June 8.

Frisco BBQ tix on sale Tickets went on sale May 1 for the whis-
5430 S. Biscay Circle, Centennial on Saturday, May 16. His visit will have three segments: 2 to 3 p.m., book talk: Asher will discuss his story about conflicted teens — tracing Clay’s journey through his town, guided by a voice. 3 to 4 p.m., book signing: Tattered Cover will have books for sale. 4 to 5 p.m., teen talk: The author is making a 50-state tour to speak against bullying, talking with teens about a topic that is of uppermost concern.
Teens will have an opportunity to talk with Asher, get writing tips and learn about his professional development as well as the unique structure of the young-adult fiction novel “Thirteen Reasons Why.” (And certainly there will be some discussion of preventing teen suicides, which is a serious concern in any community — Asher’s closing discussion section is well-written and useful.) The original idea came to Asher while listening to a museum audio tour, he wrote. He first developed Hanna’s story, then de-
cided another ingredient was missing, so he added Clay and his developing process for learning to think more deeply about others. The dual narrative involves the reader from the first page. “Thirteen Reasons Why” has sold more than 22 million copies and inspired a great deal of deep discussion. The author lives in California, except for six months in Sheridan, Wyoming, where this story was created. He has worked among books in a variety of situations, including bookstores and public libraries.
key and barbecue tasting tour during the 22nd annual Colorado BBQ Challenge June 18 to 20 in Frisco. Each year more than 70 barbecue masters travel to “The Main Street of the Rockies” to compete for a variety of awards, including the coveted Grand Champion and Reserve Champion titles. These winners are then eligible to compete in the American Royal — the “World Series” of barbecue. On June 19, Breckenridge Distillery will lead a small group to taste a selection of barbecue paired with whiskey.

Lacrosse charges into mainstream High school participation rides wave of interest in sport
DID YOU KNOW? ORIGINS: Lacrosse originated in North America centuries ago. Native Americans played a version of the game in which there were often 100 players or more per side and the contests went on for days.
By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Glance at a park, field or back yard these days and there’s a good chance you’ll see youths playing catch with a lacrosse ball or bouncing one against a wall. Lacrosse continues to gain popularity in high schools in Colorado and across the nation. This week, dozens of teams open the state playoffs in the quest for a championship, a showcase of how far the game has come. “The sport is exploding for one reason: It is so fun,” said Mountain Vista boys coach Jake Herman. “My wife never played, but one of her favorite things to do is go play catch. Lacrosse to me is the perfect mix of soccer, basketball and hockey. It has a tough-guy side with it being physical, yet requires finesse to do well.” This season there are 73 Colorado high school boys teams and 45 girls teams, compared to a combined 43 teams when the sport was first recognized by the state high school sports governing body in 1999. Colorado is one of 23 states to sanction boys lacrosse and one of 25 states, and the District of Columbia, to approve girls lacrosse. Many of the teams in Colorado are co-op clubs with players coming from different schools. For the 2013-14 season, lacrosse participation increased by 9,744 from the previous season to 188,689 nationwide, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations. “It’s a very magnetic game; kids love to play it,” said Cherry Creek boys coach Bryan Perry. Despite the swelling participation, lacrosse is still a mystifying sport to many people. “One of the ways I kind of describe it for people who might not have held a stick or played lacrosse, or even seen it, is it’s a lot like hockey, where you have to skate, puck-handle and use your stick and have your balance at all times,” said 2006 Arapahoe High graduate Drew Robertson, who is now the junior varsity boys coach at Denver South. “But in lacrosse, it’s obviously running. It’s constant running and constant eye-hand coordination.” The increase of youth lacrosse teams, the influence of the University of Denver’s collegiate program and the addition of the Colorado Mammoth and Denver Outlaws professional teams have helped spur in-state lacrosse interest. “Kids are starting to play at a younger age and it is affecting the level of high school play,” Robertson said. “Players are getting scholarship looks from major Division I programs. When I was in high school you had to do the recruiting yourself. The growth in youth programs has been crazy.” Kirsten Greenlaw, who plays on the ThunderRidge girls team, will be playing next season at San Diego State. “Girls now are starting the recruiting process as sophomores, and that is really awesome how fast we are growing,” she said. Wheat Ridge boys coach Chris Knott credits increased visibility, thanks largely to the Mammoth and Outlaws, with helping the growth of the sport. “One neighbor gets another neighbor going and brings home a stick,” he said. “It’s really hard not to fall in love with the game once you try it.” Golden High boys coach and Arapahoe graduate Kurt Ohlen emphasized that almost all types of youths can play lacrosse once the basic skills are learned. “It’s a sport that is kind of acceptable to everyone in terms of physicality,” said Ohlen.
TODAY’S GAME: • Boys lacrosse teams field 10 players per side and girls squads have 12 per team. • Boys play four 12-minute quarters and girls play two 20-minute halves. • The field is 110 yards long, with nets set up near the end of each side. • In the boys game, contact called “checking” — similar to hockey — is allowed, above the waist. It is against the rules of the girls game, but players may make contact with their sticks. • Goals are worth one point. • The stick and ball: Players carry sticks more than 3 feet in length with a webbed pouch on the end. The ball is made out of rubber and is slightly smaller than a baseball, but heavier. THE COSTS:

Helmet prices start at around $100 but can retail for upward of $200. Sticks can be found for under $100 but a good one can go for more than $150. Gloves, shoulder pads, shoes and other equipment can add a few hundred more dollars to the cost of suiting up.
South metro area sets the standard By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Boys and girls high school lacrosse has been dominated by teams in the southern part of the Denver metro area. Cherry Creek, Mountain Vista, Regis Jesuit, Kent Denver, Arapahoe, Rock Canyon and Castle View were in the top 10 in the most recent CSHAANow.com Class 5A rankings. Valor Christian and Ponderosa are among the teams ranked in the Class 4A boys poll. The girls poll finds Cherry Creek, Arapahoe and ThunderRidge ranked first, fifth and seventh. “There’s good competition in the youth programs and that breeds for a higher level of player earlier,” said Cherry Creek boys coach Bryan Perry. “So with that competition, it makes everybody better.” Golden boys coach Kurt Ohlen played at Arapahoe before the Colorado High School Activities Association sanctioned the sport in 1999. “A lot of those areas breathed lacrosse a lot earlier,” Ohlen said. “A lot of those programs have deep roots. I would also say there is probably something of a socioeconomic component to it. Lacrosse is an expensive sport, not as expensive a hockey, but kind of
“In basketball, you kind of have to be a little taller and in football you kind of need to be bigger. In lacrosse, you don’t necessarily need any of those things. There’s a sport for everyone on the field.” The physical nature of play in the boys

So you have a part of town where people have the disposable income to get their kids into it and that has something to do with it, too.” On the boys side, Kent Denver, located in Cherry Hills Village, has won five state titles and been the runner-up twice. Cherry Creek has brought home four state titles to Greenwood Village and been second five times.
Arapahoe is a three-time state titlist, Regis Jesuit has won it all twice and Ponderosa once. Arapahoe and Regis have each been the state runner-up twice. Cherry Creek has dominated the girls state playoffs, winning 10 championships, and has been the runner-up seven times. Kent Denver has secured three state titles and been second five times.
sport — the girls version has much less contact — is also a draw. At the same time, the contact in boys lacrosse doesn’t lead to as many season-ending or career-ending injuries as in football. Mountain Vista senior Christian
Barker is one of many players who appreciate the blend of finesse and force. “There’s still hitting enough that you like it and it’s fun,” he said. “The physicality aspect is there and it’s not football, where people are coming at you and trying to hurt you.”

Streaking Douglas County downs Heritage R
C
Heritage continues to struggle in first inning
By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com
Douglas County used a pair of two-run homers in the first inning and the pitching of Ryan Connolly to wrap up the Continental League season with a 5-1 win over Heritage April 30 at the Eagles’ Randy Campbell Memorial Field. Douglas County (7-3 league, 12-6 overall) collected 12 hits as the Huskies stretched their winning streak to seven games. Douglas County hosted Broomfield in a non-league May 4 before the start of the district playoffs. “They got so much confidence right now, they are fighting to get to the bat rack, get a bat and get up there and hit,” said Huskies coach Mark Roberts.
Connolly, a senior lefthander who is headed to Nebraska to play baseball, worked behind in the count much of the game but still limited the Eagles to four hits, walked two and struck out eight batters as Heritage stranded eight runners. “The first inning has been rough for us,” said Heritage coach Scott Hormann. “We get down, get behind and then you have to claw your way back. And with that kid (Connolly) on the mound you’re not going to claw your way back. He knows how to make pitches — that’s why he’s going where he’s going.” Key moments: Jared Montoya and JP Rubino smacked tworun homers in the first inning as Douglas County grabbed an early lead. The Huskies looked primed to tack on more than five runs but hit into three double plays. Key players/statistics: Montoya, Zachary Brenner, Sean
Kelsen and Isaia Casas each had two hits for Douglas County. Freshman Riley Egloff drove in the Eagles’ lone run with a fourthinning single, but Heritage, which fell behind in the first inning for the 15th time 19 games, couldn’t overcome the deficit. Heritage (2-8 league, 9-10 overall) was outscored 26-11 in the first inning this season. They said it: “We’re playing well,” said Montoya. “Going into the district playoffs, I don’t think a lot of teams know about us.” “We are certainly hitting on all cylinders,’’ Roberts said. “We felt we were capable of doing that and so much of it is confidence, believing in yourself , starting to get a little momentum and all those things in sports that are important. We have to keep it going.” “We were 4-15 last year so we doubled our win total and we still have a shot at the playoffs,” said Hormann. “We’re still there and I
Heritage’s Riley Egloff dives back to first as Douglas County first baseman Zachary Brenner (18) awaits a pickoff throw in the Huskies’ 5-1 win over the Eagles. Photo by Jim Benton wouldn’t want to play us. We scare a lot of teams. If you can back in and make some noise there’s nothing wrong with it.” Going forward: Douglas County was waiting to see if it
might host a four-team, singleelimination district tournament on May 9. Heritage was hoping to be one of the nine wildcard teams to qualify for the 32-team district brackets.

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 4, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The Lamb is usually excited about taking on a new challenge. But if that’s a touch of doubt you’re feeling, maybe it’s you telling yourself to go slow on this until you learn more about it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Accepting new commitments when you haven’t yet finished the batch on hand could be a bit rash. Better to ease up on the new ones until you get further along with your current lot. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Reward yourself for what’s sure to be a dynamic week with a getaway to someplace wonderful, hopefully with a wonderful someone. You’ll return refreshed and ready for what’s ahead.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Some people might be anxious about your plans. So you need to take time to explain what you expect to do and how you expect do it. And don’t forget to ask for suggestions. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Dealing with an unfamiliar problem can be difficult. The wisest course you can take is to ask for advice from those who have been where you are and have come through it. Good luck. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Tackle a frustrating job problem by considering possibilities you might have ignored before. This reassures colleagues you’re serious about finding a solution, even if it’s not totally yours. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your balanced approach to life proves to be helpful this week when someone you care for needs your spiritual comfort, while someone else benefits from your tough-love practicality. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Once again, you’re likely to be asked to keep a secret for someone. But do you really want to do so? Be honest with yourself and with your needs before you make any such commitment. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Taking a more direct approach from the more diplomatic one you’ve used before could make a difference in finally resolving a too-long-held disagreement. Try it. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Being asked for advice is flattering to the Sea Goat, who has a habit of saying the right thing. This time, expect someone to be especially impressed and to act on that sentiment. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With a number of pressures easing, your project could be making a lot more progress than you expected by this time. That’s great news. But don’t let yourself be distracted; stay with it. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An interesting challenge looms that could be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Discuss this with colleagues who could have much to contribute and who might want to join with you. BORN THIS WEEK: Your heart is always open to offer loving concern for others. And they, in turn, reach out to complete the circle. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
