Celebration welcomes Chinese New Year Fireworks, dragons part of event at Twin Dragon By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Exploding firecrackers, the clang of cymbals and the throbbing tempo of the drum welcomed the costumed dancers helping to celebrate the Chinese New Year Feb. 8 and 9 at the Twin Dragon restaurant in Englewood. The brightly colored lion-headed dancers gyrated, twisted and turned among

the tables, paying special attention to the children, giving some of them “butterfly kisses” with their long eyelashes. The Tai Kung Ha Holistic Fitness Center dance team included a drummer, two cymbal players and a pair of “lions.” Two dancers were assigned to each lion, one operating the head and one under the cover that represented the body. They were led by a character known as a Happy Budda. Traditionally, it is believed the lion is a good omen, scaring away evil spirits and ushering in good fortune. “This was our first year to come to the celebration here at the Twin Dragons,” said Lucille Tourney, of Greenwood Village. “I my granddaughters and their children, my great-grandchildren because expected the little guys would enjoy the music and bright colors.” A tradition of the celebration is to “feed” the dragons red envelopes containing a monetary gift. Tourney’s great grandson Landon DeLisa took his envelope to the dragon. The playful dragon took the envelope and the 5-year-old’s arm. “He was fuzzy and fun,” the boy said. “It tickled when he had my arm in his mouth.” The Everett family also attended the celebration for the first time. Jocelyn held 6-month-old Ashlyn while Lillian, 4, moved to the aisle to hand the dragon her envelope. “This is a lot of fun and I’m glad we came,” the Littleton woman said. “Lillian is fascinated by the dancers and she is really enjoying the event.” The youngest member of the family looked on and didn’t seem to object when the dragon came close. Friends Carolyn Wold and Donna Truskolaski said they scouted locations to find one that was celebrating Chinese New Year and where they could make reservations for dinner so they could watch the festivities.
Daniel Lee Ha executed his special Tai Chi routine as part of the Chinese New Year’s event at the Twin Dragon Restaurant. Ha learned the martial art as a child in the temple.
The Feb. 9 celebration was a special occasion for the Grant family. “Our sons, Willian and Keigh, are Chinese so this is an important part of their heritage,” Peter Grant said. “We tried to make it a bigger deal as all of us wore Chinese attire. It is a great experience for the boys and we enjoyed it too.” After the dancers completed their ceremonies, the team brought the dragon’s head over to the family so they could look and touch it. “It is pretty special,” Keigh said. “It is fuzzy and soft. I like the dragon and I liked the drums too.” When the lion dance was completed, the drum was replaced by quiet music as Daniel Lee Ha performed his intricate, Printed on recycled newsprint.

He said the performance was very special. “I have been doing this type of Tai Chi since I was a little boy in the temple,” he said. “Now, at 55, I am making this my final performance with the lion dancers.”
Numerous property owners have signed and filed a petition calling for the dissolution of the Englewood Business Improvement District. In order to abolish the district, proponents must meet two mathematical requirements - the signatures of those who pay more than 50 percent of the total assessment and the owners of more than 50 percent of the acreage in the district. The petitions and signatures are being evaluated and the city council gave consensus approval to setting a March 18 public hearing on the issue. Dan Brotzman, city attorney, said if the petition signatures meet the mathematic requirement, the city council is required to abolish the district. However, if there are challenges to the validity of some of the signatures, the council must judge if the signatures should be counted. After hearing comments and protests at the public hearing, the council determines if it is in the best interest of all concerned to dissolve the district. If the decision is to dissolve the district, the council will tentatively consider first reading of an ordinance to abolish the BID at the April 1 meeting. If first reading is approved, the second and final reading is tentatively scheduled April 15. If the second reading is approved the business improvement district will be abolished effective one minute after midnight, May 18. The district is a self-taxing, self-governed program set up to finance projects above and beyond those provided by governmental agencies. The Englewood Business Improvement District was formed by election in 2006 and includes all commercial properties on both sides of Broadway from Yale to U.S. Highway 285. Merchants along the stretch of Broadway launched the successful grass-roots effort to create the business district, followed the process and, in the required November 2006 election, property owners voted almost 2 to 1 to create the district. Recently, some of the district’s property owners no longer support it and Dominique Cook announced an effort to dissolve the district and presented the petitions signed by property owners at the Feb. 4 Englewood City Council meeting. She stated the reason for the dissolution effort was the improvement district lacks organization and transparency. BID continues on Page 6

Blood drive returning to high school Honor society seeking 100 donors for annual project By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Two Bonfils mobile blood banks will be parked along East Mansfield Avenue Feb. 22 to accept donations during the annual blood drive sponsored by the Englewood High School chapter of the National Honor Society. “We have some people signed up but we are trying to enlist more donors so we can meet our goal of collecting 100 pints of blood,” said Rachel Hankle, chapter sponsor. “In past years, the blood drive has been in a room in the school. This year will be different because of the construction here at the school. So, plans are to have the two buses in place for our blood drive.” Those who want to be donors for the blood drive can call and book a time between 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Feb. 22. To sign up, call Hankle at 806-2366. Society members begin enlisting donors in January. They make posters that are displayed on walls around the school, plus they talk to a lot of people in the commu-
nity about becoming donors and joining the blood drive. The blood drive has been an EHS honor society tradition for several years. Each year during the six-hour project, a steady parade of students, school personnel and members of the community arrive to fill out the paperwork and, when their name is called, take their place in a chair so a technician from Bonfils Blood Center can set up the equipment needed to accept a pint of blood from each donor. The blood drive began about 10 years ago when the project was launched for staff member Nicole Parcell’s husband, who had leukemia. There were 20 donors for the blood drive and all of them were staff members. The next year, Faye Manceau, then sponsor of the EHS National Honor Society chapter, decided to have the chapter sponsor the blood drive. Bonfils Blood Center was established in 1943 and is an important part of the community supplying blood to more than 200 hospitals and clinics. The blood drive at Englewood High School has been successful each year and has resulted in recognition for the honor society and school several times.
Salon establishes art show Cuttn’ It Loose’s art exhibit launched as part of anniversary celebration By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Cuttn’ It Loose owner Rosemarie Cabral plans a 10th anniversary celebration that will include the unveiling of the first exhibit of the continuing art show that will be gracing the walls of the salon. “We were doing the breast cancer benefit and artist Kyle Banister noted art works would make the walls of our hair salon look nicer,” she said. “We thought it was a good idea and a way to allow local artists a venue to display their works. The result is we have decided to launch the initial art exhibit we are calling
The Tresses Art Show on Feb. 28 at the same time we hold the celebration of our 10th anniversary.” The opening reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Feb. 28 at the salon, located at 901 Englewood Parkway. It is free but those planning to attend are asked to RSVP by calling 303-795-8240. The initial exhibit will consist of artworks by Jennifer Mosqura, Lea Wells, Eric Matelski and Kyle Banister. Cabral said these first artworks will be on the walls for two or three months. When that exhibit is taken down, it will be replaced by a new exhibit featuring the works of other area artists. She said about each quarter, there will be the works of different artists in the Tresses Art Show exhibit on the walls of the salon. For more information on the initial exhibit or future exhibits, call the salon at 303-795-8240.

l C-470 Coalition steers toward tolls Committee’s unanimous vote narrows expansion focus By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com
Like traffic at the end of rush hour, the future of C-470 appears to be clearing up. On Feb. 7, the C-470 Corridor Coalition Steering Committee — made up of representatives from Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties as well as the Highlands Ranch Metro District and cities of Littleton, Lone Tree and Centennial — voted 7-0 to toll any new lanes along the 13-mile stretch between Interstate 25 and Kipling Street. The coalition has been studying different options to finance the addition of one or two lanes in each direction since 2011 and began a heavy dose of public outreach last summer. Other options included the implementation of sales or property tax increases within a to-be-determined taxing district as well as tolling all the lanes. “The public was divided on tolling (the new lanes) and sales tax,” said Roger Sheryear’s man, chief operating officer with consulting firm CRL Associates, in reference to a recent survey done by Hill Research Consultants. “What’s interesting is when you start to go head to head and weigh each potential
funding option separately.” The public opinion poll, which was sent out near the end of 2012 to a random sampling of citizens in areas of impact in Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties, made two things clear — citizens were not in favor of property tax or tolling all lanes. “Our citizens have been very clear that in no way will they support a toll on the existing lanes,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jack Hilbert, chair of the C-470 coalition, before adding that “property tax is a four-letter word in Douglas County.” When it came to the possibility of raising sales tax, steering committee members were not shy about voicing their concerns. There was also a consensus that there was not enough support to pass a sales tax once a district was drawn. “It becomes very difficult to say `let’s tax this group of people and not others,’” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning. “Lone Tree is really a retail hub. Many people come to shop there. I think we see it as a competitive issue having a retail tax here that we (wouldn’t) have in other locations, just outside the boundary.” Another issue with sales tax, Hilbert said, is that it would take an additional two to three years to get the expansion started, something that could happen in early 2014. “There are still questions that have to

But I think it’s good that we can begin to move forward now.” The difference in cost is estimated to be $230 million for one lane in each direction and $350 million for two lanes. The fees for express lanes are expected to cost somewhere between 30 and 40 cents per mile. Hilbert made it clear that once all the analysis is done, any of the steering committee members may withdraw their support if the analysis does not support their decision. One of the concerns, as voiced
recently by Highlands Ranch Metro District Board Member Nancy Smith, has been who would be responsible for paying for project if the tolls collected do not cover construction costs. Whether CDOT would help with those costs or not is unknown at this time, but CDOT Commissioner Edward Peterson suggested that he was hopeful the department would able to “provide substantial amounts of assistance” toward the project. The coalition will meet next at 10 a.m. March 7 at the Highlands Ranch Mansion, 9900 Ranch Road, to discuss the timeline for the process and begin making plans for an environmental study.
Public hearing held for Englewood zoning requests Owners of properties seeking changes By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Developers presented details about the sites and reasons for their applications during the Englewood City Council’s Feb. 4 public hearing on a request to change zoning on two sites to planned unit developments. The request were for the 10.6 acres at the south end of the former General Iron site owned by Sand Creek Development and the 6.5-acre site that is now used by Winslow Crane-owned by W.H. Investments. The public hearing was held to provide an opportunity for comments from the developers and from residents. In keeping with tradition, the council took no action on the requests at the Feb. 4 meeting. Mayor Randy Penn said the public hearing was just for the council to hear the testimony on the requests. Tentative plans are for the council to consider each of the
two requests on second and final readings during the Feb.19 council meeting. Brian Winslow, representing the developers, told the council the redevelopment discussions have been going on for about 10 years for the Winslow property, and there have been more recent development discussions since Sand Creek purchased the southern portion of former General Iron site. Winslow said that again and again, the zoning of the sites has proved to be a dealbreaker in past development discussions. “The owners want to see the sites developed and zoning each parcel as planned unit development is a big step in the right direction,” he said. “We feel the window for successful development is now open and that is why we have submitted the rezoning requests now to remove a barrier to development.” The planned unit development for the Sand Creek site would allow low- and medium-density residential, public uses like libraries, commercial uses like retail outlets and heavy industrial uses. Rezoning of the W.H Investment site would allow residential development including single-family homes, the same public and commercial uses as the Sand Creek site and light industrial uses. Winslow said there has been a conceptual site plan submitted but there is no immediate development anticipated and it could be quite a while until development happens. Consultant Fred Lance presented his findings in response to questions about the impact of development on traffic. He said the traffic will primarily use Bates Avenue to access Broadway and travel along streets from Elati to Galapago to gain access to West Dartmouth Avenue to go east or west from the site. He said the model he used was based on theoretical density and the conceptual site plan indicates the intersections concerned can handle the additional traffic if residential development does happen. The only other person to testify at the
public hearing was resident Patrick Fox, who lives in the 2900 block of South Fox Street. He made a lot of comments about his
objection to the current uses for the former General Iron Site and, when asked, he said he was opposed to residential development on the two sites.

Civil unions bill gains Senate approval Only one Republican votes in favor of measure By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com
800-481-8612
Same-sex couples in Colorado are one step closer to the realization of civil unions following the passage of a bill in the state Senate on Feb. 11. S e n ate Bill 11 — which would allow Report gay couples to enter into commitments similar to marriage — passed the General Assembly’s upper chamber with unanimous support from Democrats, but with only one Republican voting to move the bill forward. There was no debate on the bill before final passage. The Feb. 11 vote became a foregone conclusion after the Senate provided preliminary passage three days earlier, following a session in which several lawmakers gave passionate — and often personal — speeches, both in support and opposition of civil unions. Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, an openly gay lawmaker and bill sponsor, gave an emotional speech on Feb. 8. “This is a moment that we have waited for,” said Steadman. “If two people are lucky enough to have found one another, why should the State of Colorado stand in their way?”
Capitol
Steadman’s longtime partner, Dave Misner, died of pancreatic cancer last year. Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, choked back tears as she spoke in support of Steadman’s bill, referring to Misner’s death, as well as her brother’s struggles with coming out of the closet. “This vote is for my brother Bill, and my friend Dave,” Newell said. Republicans unsuccessfully offered amendments to the bill, including one from Sen. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs that would have exempted practically any person or entity that objected to civil unions from providing services for those couples. But Steadman said that such an amendment would fly in the face of non-discrimination laws. Steadman also implored those who hold strong religious beliefs, “Don’t let your free exercise run my life.” “Get thee to a nunnery,” he told those seeking religious exemptions to his bill. “Go live a monastic life. Colleagues, this is not Mt. Sinai. This is the Colorado Senate.” Republicans also failed in their attempts to put civil unions on the ballot, rather than leave the issue up to lawmakers. In 2006, Colorado voters
rejected a referendum that sought benefits for same-sex partners that were similar to civil unions. “The overriding feeling that comes to mind for me.... disappointment,” said Sen. Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City. “I’m disappointed that the people of this great state cannot be trusted with a second chance at the ballot box.” Sen. Ellen Roberts of Durango was the lone Republican to vote for the bill. “I believe this bill supports family values,” Roberts said. Roberts also said that it’s important to note that her gay Senate colleagues are about more than just fighting for gay-rights issues. “This issue is only one dimension of a homosexual person’s identity,” she said. “I prefer to look at them much more as multidimensional persons.” The bill now heads to the House of Representatives, where it died last year. This is the third consecutive year that legislators have taken up civil unions, but it is expected to pass the Democratic-controlled House, and then be signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper this time around. “Well, third time’s a charm, isn’t it?” Steadman said.

The president of the National Rifle Association on Feb. 7 said it would be “foolish” for Colorado state lawmakers to push for legislation aimed at making assault-weapons manufacturers, sellers and owners liable for crimes that are committed with those firearms. But the legislator who is pushing for that kind of law, Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, said he still plans on crafting a type of bill aimed at holding those associated with “killing machines” responsible for the damage they are capable of inflicting. Morse was one of a handful of top local lawmakers whom NRA President David Keene met with during his Feb.
7 visit to Colorado. Keene’s Colorado trip came two days after Democratic legislators unveiled eight gun-control bills aimed at curbing firearms-related violence. Four of those bills were introduced in the House of Representatives the day of Keene’s visit. Keene, speaking with reporters in the Capitol following his meeting with Morse, said he told Democratic lawmakers that he intended on finding common ground on issues such as gun background checks and making sure guns don’t get in the hands of criminals or those with mental health issues. But Keene made it clear that he would not support any effort to hold gun makers and sellers liable for damages caused by assault weapons, saying that federal law shields those groups from any civil liability. Keene said that any attempt at that type of legislation would be nothing more than a “feel-good” measure.

‘We are not going to compromise the Second Amendment rights of our citizens to do things that don’t work.’ NRA President David Keene
“You cannot sue them because someone uses their perfectly legal product and misuses it,” Keene said. Keene also told Colorado Community Media in a private conversation that the NRA is not concerned about the politics of the gun debate, in spite of some polling evidence that shows the public supporting at least some types of gun-control efforts, in the wake of recent mass shootings around the country. “We are not going to compromise the Second Amendment rights of our citizens to do things that don’t work,” he said. Morse, who announced his plans to pursue the Assault Weapon Responsibility Act during a Democratic-led press conference at the Capitol Feb. 5, said he is still working on how his legislation will be crafted. The former police officer said he is aware of federal laws that protect the gun industry from liability and that, if it turns out he cannot target makers and sellers of military-type assault weapons, he could envision legislation intended to at least hold owners and possessors of assault weapons liable. Morse lamented the “amazing protection that the gun makers get,” but said he does hope the NRA is serious about finding common ground. “I don’t know if at the end of the day they are going to support any (part of the Democratic gun package), but I know the people of Colorado support all of it.”

Englewood designated a storm-ready city Agency recognizes plan to deal with bad weather By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Bob Glancy presented the city council a plaque Feb. 4 from the National Weather Service to identify Englewood as the metro area’s first municipality to be recognized as a storm-ready city. “Englewood stepped up to establish the policies and systems that will be used if the city is hit with severe weather,” Glancy told the city council. “Englewood has an emergency operation center, multiple ways to notify residents of impending severe weather and the city has developed a hazardous weather plan which includes training for severe weather spotters.” He said winter alerts will be for blizzards while other severe weather notifications could be for tornado warnings or warning of the potential of flooding in the area.

State preparing insurance exchange Health coverage will become mandatory starting in 2014 By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Buying health insurance in Colorado will soon be more like visiting Expedia. com than the hit-or-miss process it can feel like today, says Patty Fontneau, executive director of the Colorado Health Benefit Exchange. “It’s a shop-and-compare website for private, commercial insurance,” she told those gathered at state Sen. Linda Newell’s town hall at Blueberry’s on Feb. 9. It will go live in October. CHBE is the state’s response to federal health-insurance reform legislation, which requires almost everyone to have coverage in 2014. Colorado is one of 18 states that opted to create its own exchange rather than let the feds do so. Fontneau stresses the exchange isn’t replacing private insurance carriers, simply gathering information about them all in one place for ease of shopping. She also stresses it’s not a new state agency or an insurance broker, and will not manage people’s health care. It’s a public nonprofit that has applied for 501(c)(3) status. Asked about a rumor that only one insurance company has signed on, Fontneau said 18 have been meeting with CHBE regularly, and four health plans and two dental plans have indicated they’ll participate. “There is no one who has come in yet and said we are not going to play on the exchange,” she said, adding she anticipates eight to 10 will ultimately join. The exchange is not for anyone who qualifies for Medicare or Medicaid or those covered by a large company’s plan, unless their cost is 9 percent or more of their in-
come. All who qualify get up-front tax credits applied as a premium reduction. Included are people who earn $14,858 to $44,680 a year, couples earning $20,123 to $60,520 a year, families earning $30,657 to $92,200 a year, and small businesses with 25 or fewer employees earning, on average, less than $50,000. “Almost two-thirds of the state will be eligible for some sort of discount,” said Fontneau. “Increased access, eligibility and choice is the goal.” Fontneau said the website will allow those folks to choose a plan based on things like price and participating physicians, so companies will have to stay competitive. But the exchange itself won’t manipulate what plans offer. “I think there’s going to be an impact on this marketplace, but not because we negotiate it,” she said. Asked who is paying for the plan, Fontneau acknowledged it’s the taxpayers but said it’s not her place to debate the tax code. Newell said the business community has been asking for such change for years. In fact, in 2006, the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce endorsed mandatory coverage and a comparison system for transparency. “By mandating individual ownership of maintenance insurance policies, the plan’s most significant change in healthcare funding is the shift of responsibility from the employer to the individual,” reads the 2006 document. “In addition, by reducing the burden of health insurance from the employer, the financial condition of many small businesses will substantially improve. Tax incentives may encourage employers to make contributions towards employee health coverage without suffering a net financial loss.”
storm-ready designation but Englewood is the first city in the Denver metro area. Council members suggested additional
signs be obtained and placed at the entrances to the city. Council Member Rick Gillit said the council approved the money to upgrade and modernize the emergency siren alert system. The work was necessary because the old system was outdated and could no longer be activated quickly in case of severe weather. Dick Petau of the Englewood Fire Department said it has been a two-year project to meet the storm-ready requirements. “Our two emergency management specialists, Rose Lynch and Steve Green, focused on this project,” said Petau, the fire department operations chief. In a memo she prepared on the subject, Lynch wrote that, to receive the designation, a community must establish a 24-hour warning site and an emergency operations center and must have more than one way to receive severe weather warnings and forecasts in order to alert residents. The program also must do outreach programs to stress the importance of public readiness in case of severe weather and develop a formal hazardous weather plan.
Democrats propose child-welfare reforms Training, reporting plan aims to head off abuse By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Gov. John Hickenlooper and other Democratic state leaders on Feb. 6 announced a series of reforms to the state’s child welfare system, which are in part aimed at preventing child abuse before it happens. The proposals include the setup of a statewide child abuse reporting hotline, more training for child welfare caseworkers, and other efforts designed to protect children. “We want to make sure we keep our kids healthy and safe, and make sure we stabilize families,” Hickenlooper said at a Capitol press conference. The reforms, which have been dubbed “Keeping Kids Safe and Families Healthy 2.0,” is a follow-up effort to changes to the child welfare system that Hickenlooper announced about a year ago. The hotline streamlines the current reporting system, one where all 64 Colorado counties have their own child abuse hotlines. Hotline workers, along with child caseworkers, also will receive more training to help them investigate abuse cases. The plan also allows families involved in child welfare referrals, ones that may not rise to the level of abuse or neglect cases, to receive services and support aimed at preventing abuse. The govenor’s plan also calls for greater transparency, through the development of

a website where the public can keep tabs on efforts taking place inside the child welfare system. And the plan calls for modern technology, such as the use of smart phones and tablets to help caseworkers with their workloads. Hickenlooper will seek funding for his proposals by asking the Legislature to set aside $22 million in next year’s budget. The governor also said that Colorado will receive $8 million in federal funds in each of the next five years, which will also go toward funding reforms.

Littleton hero retiring after 28 years Carmody made national news for saving a baby By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com After 28 years as a patrol officer, officer Bob Carmody, full-fledged hero, is taking his boots off the ground. Carmody, 63, was a hero to lots of kids growing up in Littleton between 1985 and 2004, while leading DARE classes and serving as a school resource officer. But there’s one baby in particular who touched him more than all the others — the one whose life he saved. It’s not a pretty story, but it is a miraculous one. Salina Newman, then 22, called police after she unexpectedly delivered her baby three months early — into the toilet. She immediately called 911 to report what she thought was a miscarriage. Fortunately for the baby, Carmody arrived on scene and checked her closely.
“I could see movement, and the baby was enclosed in the amniotic sac and everything,” Carmody told reporters at the time, describing how he carefully plucked her out and covered her up. “I could see the hair, the hands up by the face, and Carmody parts of the legs and stuff, but I didn’t take a lot of time to look. I just made sure and covered up the blanket.” Little Neveah weighed just over a pound. “I went to the hospital several times just to hold the baby,” remembers Carmody. “I could hold her in the palm of my hand.” “We’re emotionally tied to her now,” said officer Al Quintana, who responded along with Carmody and officer Nick Dimitric. “To see her alive, that’s the gift. To see her fighting — one of the nurses told me she’s a pistol.” Newman didn’t have a great support system, said Carmody, and she named the three officers Neveah’s unofficial godpar-
ents. “She’s going to probably be shocked that this is how she came into the world,” Newman told reporters. But the baby was later adopted by a new family, who kept “Neveah” as her middle name. Carmody stayed in touch for a while, and got to see her on her first birthday. “I put my hands out and I just picked her up,” he remembers. “But she’s got her own life now.” As he sat in a Starbucks telling his story exactly seven years and one day later, it was clear his love for kids lives on — picture the big Irish Catholic beat cop cooing his heart out to one pretty baby and giving up his seat to her mom. He’s touched a lot of kids’ lives throughout his service, including Littleton Police Detective Brian Rauzi and officer Samuel Hufschmidt. “Officer Carmody was a very big influence when I was a fifth-grader,” remembers Hufschimdt, who had him as a DARE officer at Ralph Moody Elementary School. “I remember him showing the class all of his
equipment on his duty belt and thinking, `I want to be a cop!’” Carmody was reassigned to patrol in 2004, where he finished out his career. “I miss the schools a lot. I miss the honesty,” he said. “… They’re pretty good kids with a lot of good questions. But there’s not always someone there to give them the answers they need.” He’s not sure what he’ll do next, having always been mostly a cop without a lot of hobbies. But he’ll have more time for his motorcycle, he said, and maybe runs to Sturgis and the veterans’ memorials in Washington, D.C. “I guess I’m just going to slow down, look around and start making a bucket list,” he said. It will be awhile before he can tote grandkids along. Although his two children are grown, he’s counseled them to wait until they’re ready for kids, and not just to have them to make him happy. “Babies are not presents, they’re gifts from God,” he said.
Bow Mar a hidden south metro gem Town offers unique way of life for families By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Rick Pilgrim is the mayor of a town he didn’t know was a town when he was growing up in Littleton: Bow Mar. To be clear, he’s the mayor of the Town of Bow Mar - not Bow Mar South or Bow Mar Knolls, which are in Littleton proper, nor Bow Mar Heights, which is in Jefferson County. And then there’s Mary’s Meadow, which the town owns but is actually in the city and county of Denver. Of course, he enjoys them all. “It’s such a great place for a family to grow up and to be a kid and feel safe,” he said, having raised his three daughters there himself. Two of them went to Littleton High School — where he graduated from in 1973 — and the other went to Heritage. Located northwest of Littleton, Bow Mar is a unique little town of about 600 acres, 293 homes, 850 people and a budget of just a half-million dollars. It literally has no businesses, so it depends on property tax to
function, yet it owns its own lake and has its own yacht club. “We’re a city that needs to be responsible to our voters,” he said, and they want low taxes and limited government. “We depend on volunteers to help us do stuff.” Along with a very active homeowners’ association and a foundation, and a partnership with Columbine Valley that allows them to share a town hall and eightperson police department, things seem to run smoothly in the little town. Skimming council-meeting minutes makes it seem like dog poop and chickens are the most pressing matters. Pilgrim, a transportation engineer, thinks it’s actually the roads. There’s no real drainage, just ditches that allow water to seep under the pavement. “We’ve asked the voters two times, and they’ve turned it down two times,” he said. “But each of those times we’d have gone into debt.” Change does happen slowly sometimes in a town so small. Bow Mar didn’t even have paved roads until the early 1970s, and didn’t bury its utilities until the late 1960s. Both were controversial. “Those had costs for everybody,” he said.
Bow Mar is located northwest of Littleton. File photo There probably wouldn’t even be a town of Bow Mar without your friendly neighborhood grocery store. Lloyd King, who founded King Soopers in 1948, started buying up small farms in the neighborhood just east of what is now Grant Ranch after business started booming. But in the 1950s, Denver started annexing everything it could get its hands on. Bow Mar incorporated in 1958 to protect itself, 16 years before the Poundstone Amendment required a vote of the residents to be annexed.
“That’s why they became their own town, so they were in charge of themselves,” said Pilgrim. That’s how Mary’s Meadow ended up in Denver, and Pilgrim said that’s another issue that needs handled. Should there ever be an emergency, Denver crews would have to respond, and the closest fire department is near Fort Logan. “We own it, but we can’t manage it,” he said. “Thank heavens we’ve never had a grass fire.”
BID: Property owners seeking to dissolve business district BID continued from Page 1
She said the petitions included signatures of 57 percent of those owning property in the district and presented a copy of the petition to the president of the district and to the city clerk. It was noted the petition was signed by property owners who may or may not be the owners of the businesses in the district. Assessments are based on acreage and property owners get votes
based on the acreage owned. During Cook’s presentation at the Feb. 4 meeting, Councilmember Jill Wilson said she is disappointed that so many property owners in the district worked against it instead of being part of the solution. Cook said she had been on the district’s board of directors and said because of the way it was run, there was no way to turn it around. Bob Laughlin, district presi-
dent, spoke to the council at the Feb. 4 meeting. “We have had some negative reactions from property owners over the last few years and I think that is because, in the weak economy, they object to the extra tax,” he said. “All district board members are volunteers and we have worked to improve the downtown area and make it look better. We will have our lawyers look at the petitions before we decide the next step.”

Business and property owner Brian Hart said he felt the business improvement district was a great asset to Englewood and to the business community. He said he is disappointed by the effort to dissolve the district. However, property and business owner Dave Black disagreed. He said the district assessment was involuntary and a bad tax. “I am required to pay the tax but I have seen nothing done to improve the area around my busi-
ness,” he said. The district is self-taxing. The business district tax is assessed on a basis of acreage and pays fees to the district in addition to the regular property taxes. Since it was created in 2006, the district used the money from assessments on a number of projects, including installing and maintaining large flower pots and bike racks along Broadway. An effort to dissolve the district more than a year ago was unsuccessful.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
On C-470, toll lanes best way to go The group tasked with devising a plan to improve C-470 made the right call last week when it decided to pursue the construction of new lanes that would come with a toll. It’s not a solution everyone will embrace, but when looking at how to arrive at a more-motorist-friendly highway, the truth is, there is no perfect path. It’s going to take money. It’s going to take time. And while the work is being done, it’s going to be inconvenient. So why do anything? Clearly, the Denver metro area is growing and much of that growth is taking place near C-470, which snakes from I-25 to I-70. The population along the 27-mile corridor is expected, by some estimates, to swell by more than 30 percent over the next 20 years. Already, some stretches of the highway see more than 100,000 vehicles a day. During morning and afternoon rush hours, the road is plenty congested now. Throw in thousands of extra vehicles per day, and the future of the road as a preferred, or even viable, route doesn’t look bright. That’s not acceptable for a corridor that includes areas like northern Douglas
OUR VIEW County, which is quickly becoming a magnet for businesses to open and relocate. So when the C-470 Corridor Coalition took up the task of brainstorming improvements in 2011, it was an important step. The coalition’s decision-making committee is made up of representatives from Littleton, Centennial, Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch and from Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties. The group’s focus, for now, is on the 13-mile stretch from I-25 to Kipling, identified as the swath most in need of immediate assistance. After months of doing research, reaching out to communities and polling residents, the coalition was left with three logical choices: toll only new lanes, toll all lanes or try to raise taxes (sales or property). To be sure, the Feb. 7 decision to move
forward on the plan for a minimum of one new express toll lane in each direction was neither hasty, nor uninformed. Tolling all lanes was the least-popular option in public polling and was rightfully dismissed. An all-toll highway might have backfired by keeping too many motorists away and costing municipalities more headache, gridlock and construction costs through the wearing down of local arterial roads. A property-tax increase surely would have been voted down, but there was some support in citizen polls for a salestax hike. We agree, however, with local officials who said such a measure could be unfair to communities located in the new taxing district. “I think we see it as a competitive issue having a retail tax here that we (wouldn’t) have in other locations, just outside the boundary,” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning, whose city is home to the popular Park Meadows mall. Imposing a toll only on new lanes makes the most sense, and as it would not require an election like the taxing options, would be the quickest to implement. It’s
also the most fair: It would be a motorist’s decision to use the new lanes and thus pay the fee. We venture to guess many would pony up to zip along at a quicker, less-encumbered pace. As mentioned, the plan, which carries a tentative price tag between $230 million and $350 million, isn’t perfect. The coalition acknowledges there may be a need to find additional funding sources if revenue from the toll lanes doesn’t fully pay for the project. It’s not an insignificant risk, but it is one worth taking, given the potential reward. The group plans to take some time to refine the conceptual design and cost estimates and there are environmental, traffic and revenue studies that must be done before anything is final. Even if everything goes as planned, it could be up to two years before construction begins. And that doesn’t cover the second-phase, from Kipling to I-70, which a different set of officials will get to work on shortly. So while we’re not there yet, at least we’re not stuck in rush-hour traffic, wishing for a magical way out.
Time for reasonable Will no mail on Saturday impact you? action on gun violence QUESTION OF THE WEEK
We went to several locations in Englewood and Littleton to hear how people felt about
the U.S. Postal Service’s decision to cease Saturday mail delivery starting in August.
“Honestly, if it helps the government save some money, I guess I’m for it. We do get checks and other items in the mail on Saturday and I mail out items on Saturday but, if it helps the government, it’s fine with me.” — Brian Hart, south Denver
“I haven’t given it a lot of thought but I think it is a shame they’ll stop Saturday delivery. Right now, Saturday delivery has slowed down. But that governmental agency needs to do something to save money because a lot of money is being wasted.” — Keith Carson, Englewood
“I think any way the Postal Service can avoid bankruptcy should be considered. Stopping Saturday delivery won’t have a big impact on me personally because getting mail five days a week is fine.” — Jude Thomas, Littleton
“I’m not sure how I feel about the decision. It won’t have a big impact on me personally. I don’t get a lot of mail on Saturday but I will miss it when it doesn’t come.” — Maria Powell, Englewood
Being down can lead to looking up One of the most popular activities I get to do with my team at work or with groups that I am involved with happens on Fridays. I typically send an encouraging email filled with positive updates, recognition of achievement, and gratitude for the effort put forth by everyone. And then I ask for feedback, I ask for the best news of the week or most positive or productive good news that they can share. Everyone responds and shares a moment or experience that truly made the week positive. The interesting thing is this: People may have been having a very tough week but they always find something positive to share. Life may have presented some significant challenges personally and/or professionally, but somehow they dig in and look for something good to share with the team or group. So imagine your own life right now, and imagine for a moment it is Friday and I have asked you for the best news of the week. What would your answer be? Now I have done this for several years and with many people. The majority of people can come up with something meaningful and positive in a fairly short amount of time. But those who are having a tough week find themselves going deeper. And I have to share with you that the responses that come from someone who has been struggling are usually more positive than the replies that come from people who have been having a relatively good week. Here is something else I have noticed. People now expect the question, and so
Over the past year, our nation has had to come together too often in sorrow in the aftermath of extraordinary gun violence — whether in our own backyard in Aurora, or in a small town in Connecticut. Again and again, we mourn the losses, and call for action after a massacre. But this time — in the wake of Sandy Hook — something seems different. The slaughter of 20 children in their classroom forced our society to confront that we have not done enough to protect our children from the increasing incidence of gun violence. We are finally engaging in a larger and more productive conversation about our views on violence, our views on guns, and our views on how we respond to mentally ill individuals in our communities. As this conversation has evolved, I am hopeful we can come to consensus around reasonable solutions that keep killing machines out of the hands of disturbed individuals, while respecting the Second Amendment rights of responsible gun owners. In Sandy Hook, the gunman shot most of his victims with an AR-15 semiautomatic weapon, using multiple magazines containing 30 bullets each. He was able to kill 26 individuals, including 20 children, in less than 10 minutes. In last summer’s horrific theater massacre in Aurora, the shooter also used an AR-15 semiautomat-
Englewood Herald all week long they are already looking for the good, searching for the positive, and storing up successful stories and events they can share. Please don’t gloss over this, think about it for a minute. When individuals know that they will be asked for the best news of the week, they actually start preparing and looking for the good. This is powerful and I would encourage you to try it at work, in a group you may belong to, or even with your family. Don’t just try it once or twice, commit to it for a couple of months, each and every week. What I am talking about is setting an expectation of positive and success-oriented behavior. And when you make it a habit of inspecting what you expect in asking for the best news of the week, you will truly be amazed at the elevation in attitudes, success, and production. I would really love to know what your best news of the week is. Together, let’s make this a better-than-good week.

150 stories that shaped Colorado Former Rocky editor shares history through eyes of newspaper By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com
Newspapers have long been known as the recorders of history. And as the Rocky Mountain News approached its 150th anniversary, former editor Michael Madigan was busy at work piecing together a project that highlighted 150 of the most memorable and historic front pages throughout the history of the paper -dating back to its first edition, which was created in a second-floor office above a saloon alongside Cherry Creek. His idea was to run one front page e, per day for the 150 days leading up to uple the Rocky’s anniversary date. Yet, only ed. 103 ever ran - each tucked inside the dis- back page with an accompanying stohool ry about why it was chosen - before and the Rocky itself became history, closm ing Feb. 23, 2009, two months to the hts day shy of its big birthday. my Months after the paper closed, 20 however, Madigan released the rest ble through the publishing of “Heroes, fe.

Former Rocky Mountain News editor Michael Madigan relaxes in his Arvada basement. Madigan, who published ‘Heroes, Villains, Dames & Disasters: 150 Years of Front-Page Stories from the Rocky Mountain News’ in 2009, will talk about the stories behind the front pages Feb. 18 at the auditorium at Southridge in Highlands Ranch. From the assassinations of Lincoln, Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., to the completion of the Denver Pacific Railroad, the Broncos first Super Bowl and the Hayman Fire, the book captures the nation’s and state’s most monumental events. There’s the death of Billy the Kid, Colorado becoming the second state to grant women the right to vote, the opening of Red Rocks and the start of World War II. There’s surprises, historical anecdotes and things one may
not have known or otherwise forgot. It is history the way Colorado’s pioneer newspaper reported it. Madigan will spend an evening, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 18, talking about the book with the Highlands Ranch Historical Society at Southridge Recreation Center, 4800 McArthur Ranch Road in Highlands Ranch. The public is welcome and non-members are asked to give a suggested donation of $1. The former editor will discuss why some of the stories were chosen, talk about the stylistic differences in how varying events were reported and share some of the surprises, such as why Lincoln’s assassination was on Page 2 as opposed to Page 1, yet still made the book. He will likely also talk some about the closing of the paper. “We always felt that there was a real local attachment to the newspaper, but that’s really been driven home in the years since the paper closed,” he said. “Everybody knew that the newspaper industry was in hard times at that point, but I don’t think anybody had any inkling that Scripps had any thought in mind of closing the Rocky.” Madigan, who also published “Historic Photos of Denver in the 50s, 60s, and 70s,” which tells the tale of urban renewal in the city, has his first novel due out in August. He will be signing copies of “150 Years” after the event and they will be for sale for $30. To RSVP for the event, please visit www. highlandsranchhistoricalsociety.org.

DeGette: Common-sense reforms needed DeGette continued from Page 8
keep our children and our families safe, and prevent gun violence throughout the nation. The president immediately implemented 23 executive actions, including: strengthening the system for background checks, making sure mental health professionals know their options for reporting threats of violence, and helping police departments hire school resource officers. President Obama then called on Congress to take swift action on larger proposals to prevent gun violence and keep our children safe, including: instituting universal background checks for gun purchasers; and restoring the ban on military-style assault weapons, as well as a ban on high-capacity assault magazines, similar to my bill.
As elected officials try to tackle this critical issue, poll after poll demonstrates increasing public support for these types of commonsense solutions. According to the Washington Post, the majority of Americans, 52 percent, support more comprehensive laws that will keep Americans safe from gun violence, including 59 percent who support a ban on assault weapons. A Gallup poll found that 62 percent of Americans favor a ban on high-capacity magazines. The Pew Research Center found that 85 percent of Americans favor stronger background checks, and a CBS News poll said 92 percent favor universal background
checks. Each of these polls is certainly encouraging. But in order to ensure these reasonable ideas can be enacted, the support reflected in these polls must translate into a demand for action by American citizens to our nation’s elected leaders. While those of you in Colorado can be assured that I will stand with the president and fight for these commonsense measures to limit gun violence, I urge you to encourage your friends and family members across the country to contact their elected officials as well. I believe in the Second Amendment, and as a fourth-generation
Coloradan, I know that gun ownership is a part of our great state’s history and culture. The commonsense reforms proposed by the president, myself, and many of my colleagues, would respect those rights, while working to prevent the horrific massacres that take the lives of too many of our citizens and too many of our children. I encourage my fellow Americans to join me in the call for responsible solutions that respect our Second Amendment rights, while taking action to prevent tragedies like the massacres in Sandy Hook and Aurora.

Awash in Colorado art Entries flood center for exhibit through March By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com When the Arvada Center’s curator, Collin Parson, put out a call to all interested Colorado artists for the first Art of the State show, he received 1,635 entries from 588 entrants — in all media. Even though he has 10,000 square feet of gallery space, in three parts, to work with (upstairs and on the first level), jurying them presented a challenge. Parson and Dean Sobel, director of the Clyfford Still Museum, finally managed to select 191 works by 160 emerging and established artists — still a very large number of works to try to view at one time. The exhibit runs until March 31. Included are a number of strong, interesting works — many by lesser-known artists. The general flavor is quite contemporary, although there are some traditional works. The art shows especially well in the handsome, well-lit, nicely arranged Main Gallery. Fine crafts are strong: There are a number of unusual fiber art creations and ceramics. Sara Ransford’s delicate sodafired porcelain piece, “Bring on the Rain,” with its subtle colors and tissue-thin layers, is particularly appealing and wellcrafted, inviting a close look. Of much coarser texture, but also appealing, is Walter Barton’s sculpture, “Ursa Artos,” a life-sized bear, fashioned of wood and bark. One can almost hear it snarl.
When Tom’s Urban 24, the 24-hour diner-ish eatery at 15th and Larimer, expands into other cities, chief concept officer Tom Ryan said the plan is to keep roughly 70 percent of the Denver menu, but reserve the other 30 percent to include local fare. Immediate growth plans include two more Tom’s restaurants with one likely to be in California, said Stacie Lange, executive vice president of public relations for Consumer Capital Partners, parent company of Tom’s Urban 24 and the giant Smashburger chain. Ryan and Lange invited Pat “Gabby Gourmet” Miller and I to a lunch tasting last week to sample dishes from the “Winter Menu” that recently debuted. We nibbled on 14 new delightful dishes that, frankly, have much improved the cuisine quality over my first experience at the restaurant right before it opened roughly 90 days ago. “The old 90-day rule is really true,” Ryan said about what he asserts is the typical amount of time it takes a restaurant to work out the kinks. “It’s like rewiring your house with the electricity on.” New menu items include pot pies with filet mignon or truffled lobster and shrimp; Stranahan’s whiskey barbecued ribs; open-faced Angus meatloaf platter; Urban super pho with egg, shrimp, chicken and duck confit; fried brussels sprouts with Asian vinaigrette; Tuscan kale and romaine chicken Caesar, and fried “Chickenlooper” with sweet corn pancakes served with syrup and butter. Some of the new dishes are on the dinner menu only, available from 4 to 10 p.m. daily. Others appear on the breakfast, lunch and late-night menu from 10 p.m. to 4 p.m. Egg dishes have been added to the dinner menu because of customer demand. In addition to expanding the Tom’s brand, Ryan said Consumer Capital Partners plans to reopen Tossa, the pizza and pasta place in Boulder that the company closed in December, somewhere in the Denver region, but wouldn’t specify. He said the concept needed to be refined.
Zonta Club hits big 1-0
“Ursa Actor,” a life-sized bear sculpted from wood and bark, is by Walter Barton in Art of the State at the Arvada Center. Courtesy photo The Best of Show award was given to Scarlett Kanistanaux for her handsome stoneware sculpture, “Quiet Mind,” a head measuring 48x48x12. Beautifully crafted, it stands out with its sleek lines, as well as its size. Theater attendees can find this one in the upstairs Theater Gallery at intermission, but in order to get even a halfway good look at this extensive exhibit, one should plan to arrive more than an hour before show time — or make a separate trip another day. Actually, I suspect two trips are needed to really absorb it all. After spending a Saturday afternoon roaming, I feel that I missed a lot.

The Zonta Club of Douglas County recently marked its 10th anniversary with a luncheon at La Dolce Vita Restaurant in Castle Pines that was attended by club members as well as special guests, including Zonta district governor Sheila Davis and former district governor Mary Benoit. Zonta Club of Douglas County is part of Zonta International, a global organization of executives and professionals working together to advance the status of women worldwide. During the past 10 years, the Zonta Club of Douglas County has donated more than $60,000 to local charities, and gave more than $10,000 in scholarships to local high school seniors. Members donated more than 900 hours of time to local nonprofits last year alone. Trivia Night, the club’s major fundraiser, takes place April 20 at Kirk Hall at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock. Registration is open for teams and individuals who want to compete.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Location is the biggest decision a buyer will face so make sure to do your home work by checking schools, parks as well as crime statistics. And stop by the area at all times of the day so you can assure you are making the right decision for your family. What is the most unusually thing you’ve encountered while working in real estate? My clients were purchasing a home in Hudson, Colorado with 5 acres and in the contract, I negotiated a goat in the personal property for my clients as they loved the property and the kids loved the goat so everyone was happy – that was a fun experience.

Douglas County School Board Vice President Dan Gerken resigned the week of Jan. 7, and already has stepped down from his seat. He cited growing family and work obligations. Board President John Carson said the group will begin the process of finding his replacement during the Jan. 15 board meeting. Gerken was elected to the board in 2009, and his term was set to expire in November. He did not return calls for comment, Gerken but Carson said there is no mystery surrounding his resignation from the education reform-focused board. “We depend on people being willing to take a lot of time out of their lives and work and families to do this,” he said, noting board members invest at least 20 hours a month to the unpaid post. “Dan has served selflessly in that capacity for over three years now. I greatly appreciate what he’s done for our school district.” Carson said Gerken first approached him about resigning shortly after the new year. “I tried to talk him out of (resigning), but he made his decision,” he said. Though the board has often been criticized for its fast-paced reform efforts, Carson said he doesn’t believe that was a factor in Gerken’s resignation. “If you run for office, you have to be prepared for that,” he said. “Speaking for myself, the reason I got involved in public education was to make some changes in public education that I think have been needed for a long time. I know Dan felt that way as well.” In seven years on the board, Carson said this is the fourth vacancy filled by appointment. “It’s not an infrequent occurrence,” he said. The board has 60 days to fill the empty seat. Any candidate must live in Gerken’s district — District D — which extends from Castle Pines to the southeast corner of the county. Potential school board candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a 12-month resident and registered voter of the district, and have no direct or indirect interest in district contracts. All current school board members are registered Republicans, but the office is officially nonpartisan. “We’re just looking for people that are interested in improving public education, continuing to make our school district the best, and keep making it stronger,” Carson said. Gerken, a father of two, lives in Castle Pines with his wife, Gina. He is chairman and co-founder of Gerken Taxman Interests, a commercial real estate investment and development company.

See New Mexico through artist’s eyes Exhibit comes to Denver By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “When I saw this landscape, it was mine,” Georgia O’Keeffe wrote about New Mexico’s distinctive landscape. Her first encounter was in 1917, en route back to Texas from a Colorado vacation, according to Barbara Buhler Lynes, co-curator of the new Denver Art Museum exhibit “Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico: Architecture, Katsinam and the Land.” The former curator of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, which organized the traveling exhibit, writes in the show catalog that the artist wanted to return to this land that fascinated her and finally
did so in 1929. Then, she connected with Mabel Dodge Luhan and her husband Tony, a member of Taos Pueblo, who introduced her to Native American dances, where she may have seen katsinam. “Kachina” is an Anglicized version of the word for those sacred figures, explained Thomas Smith, director of the Petrie Institute of Western American Art at the DAM. The painter returned to New Mexico every summer from her home in New York, where she lived with her husband, famed photographer Alfred Stieglitz. She painted and drew images of the land and its architecture and its cultures, colored by her intense emotional response. In 1934, she discovered Ghost Ranch “and found the spiritual home she had been seeking,” Lynes said. She purchased a home in 1940 and made it her permanent home three years
after Stieglitz died in 1946. Smith said she constantly alternated between realistic and abstract images throughout her painting career. A series of three images of “the black place” illustrate the variety. The exhibit includes 53 O’Keeffe works. Among them are 15 rarely-exhibited images of different Hopi Katsina tihu — kachina dolls, as well as paintings of Hispanic and Native American architecture and dramatic New Mexico landscapes. Because she kept these Katsina images at her home and rarely exhibited them, they offer new information about this popular American artist and her deep respect for the diverse cultures she found. In the farthest gallery, the visitor finds a group of beautifully painted katsinam from the DAM’s extensive Native American arts
collection, arranged by John Lukavic, Associate Curator of Native Arts at the DAM. Also, there are related paintings and sculpture by contemporary Native American artists, including Ramona Sakiestewa and Dan Namingha and his son, who are Hopi and Chippewa/Dakota Sioux. He adds a touch of humor with his “O’Keeffe, After Whistler,” a spin on the famous “Whistler’s Mother,” with O’Keeffe’s likeness installed in that iconic rocking chair. A short video, “Georgia O’Keeffe: a Difference in Art” is shown in this last gallery, with many segments in her voice. It offers a layer of biographical information that overlays the colorful paintings nicely. After sitting to absorb it, another stroll through the exhibit is recommended.
Community college students have designs on exhibit Students in Arapahoe Community College’s popular Interior Design and Architecture departments share their impressive portfolio work each year in an exhibit in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at ACC. Visitors can see the sorts of projects they must complete in domestic and commercial areas, and on boards or, in the case of architecture students, sometimes in three dimensions. One may find a design for the interior of an elaborate mountain home or for a trendy restaurant. The show runs from Feb. 18 to March 13, with an opening reception on Friday, Feb. 22. Admission is free. Hours: noon-5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays (open until 7 p.m. on Tuesdays). The Colorado Gallery of the Arts is in the Annex building, first floor. 303-797-5649.

Generous DeGeneres
Talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres was so flattered by Denver’s Curtis Hotel — a Doubletree by Hilton’s “Couples We Love Celebrity-themed Valentine’s Day Getaway” promotion — that she called the hotel during her show on Thursday to reserve The Ellen & Portia package. The DeGeneres-themed package includes a CD of “Now, That’s What I Call Dance” for your own private dance party, a bath of Blondies, a bottle of California red wine and two blonde wigs — all to honor the talk show host and her wife Portia de Rossi. Connie, the unsuspecting Curtis Hotel desk clerk, answered the call while DeGeneres disguised her voice to try to reserve the room for Feb. 14-16. After a few funny moments, DeGeneres finally came clean and identified herself. But she sweetened the deal by promising to send several goodies from the Ellen DeGeneres show shop, plus said she’d fly Connie to be an audience member of her show.

Phamaly’s `Foreigner’ funny, fascinating By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Larry Shue’s comedy, “The Foreigner,” is perennially popular with good reason. Audiences will enjoy Phamaly’s production when it repeats for a weekend at the Arvada Center Feb. 22-24 because director Edie Weiss and her cast have developed a solid piece from this tale about a painfully shy young man who doesn’t want to talk with anyone at the fishing camp where he is a guest for a few days. His friend Froggy Le Seur (Michael Leopard), a demolition expert in town to work with the military base, brings his friend Charlie Baker (Jeremy Palmer), a proofreader who is exhausted over the care of his ill wife, to stay a few days with Froggy’s friend Betty Meeks ( Kathi Wood). She owns and operates a small southern Georgia fishing camp. At Charlie’s request, Froggy tells Betty that his friend is a “foreigner” and can’t understand or speak English. Betty’s response is to shout at him, but others just start talking about stuff he shouldn’t hear. Pretty, rich young guest Catherine Simms (Lyndsay Palmer) is upset at her pregnancy
Castle Rock
and her fiance David Marshall Lee (Trenton Schindele) seems to have a dark underside. Her intellectually challenged brother Ellard (Daniel Traylor) cheerfully decides to help Charlie learn to speak and read English, which accounts for a number of funny situations. Can you say “cha-yer,” or “fa-werk?” And we can’t help but reflect briefly on how we might handle ourselves in a similar situation — or how we may have behaved in the past. Each individual has a different lens through which he or she sees Charlie. And last, but by no means least, is the nasty KKK member Owen Musser, well-played by Jaime Lewis. Scheming to condemn, and then take over Betty’s property, he of course is immediately rude and off-putting to Charlie and upset by Charlie’s gibberish about “Bees come down ….” A cheer goes up when Musser gets his comeuppance in a cleverly staged scene, as Charlie saves the day. Palmer’s truly clever, ongoing goofiness as Charlie is worth the price of a ticket alone, with his new buddy Ellard right there next to him all the way. These two Phamaly veterans have the comic timing down perfectly, coached by the versatile Edie Weiss,

Kent Denver senior Abruzzo wins two state titles Sophomore Curtis paces Valor Christian to 11th place finish By Daniel Williams
dwilliams@ourcoloradonews. com THORNTON - Dreams can come true, just ask Lauren Abruzzo. The Kent Denver senior capped off her already impressive prep career with perhaps the second best effort in all of Colorado High School swimming this year next to Missy Franklin Saturday at the 4A State Championships at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center. Abruzzo was one of just two multiple event winners taking the 100 IM in 2:04.25, and then winning the 500 Freestyle in 4:55.11.
“It feels amazing, I couldn’t have dreamed up a better finish,” Abruzzo said. “I wasn’t expecting that time in the 100 and I am so excited about how things went.” Abruzzo helped guide her Kent Denver team to a seventh place finish in the state tournament with 121 team points. Breathing down Kent Denver’s neck was Valor Christian, who wrapped up their season with an 11th place finish. Behind sophomore Lauren Curtis who swam in two events, Valor finished with 56 team points. Curtis’ 200 Medley Relay team finished in fourth place with a time of 1:53.21. And she later finished in 13th place in the 100 Breaststroke. “We put in place a bunch of goals at the beginning of the season and there wasn’t a goal we didn’t meet,” Valor coach Rob
Nasser said. “We are very satisfied with our season.” Thompson Valley won the tournament and their fourth straight 4A state title with a score of an even 300. But it didn’t come without a little controversy. Evergreen, a league rival of D’Evelyn, was forced to forfeit 34 points in the 200 Medley Relay because of a disqualification. Those 34 points would have won a state championship for an Evergreen team that had to settle for third place with 266 points. Still, Evergreen senior Lexie Malazdrewicz dominated the tournament and capped off her prep career with nine individual state titles. Malazdrewicz won the

Wheelchair rugby shakes the walls Teams clash in fast-pace action at Mile High Mayhem Tournament By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Wheelchair athletes filled the air with the sounds of their bone-jarring collisions Feb. 9 and 10 during the Mile High Mayhem Rugby Tournament at Englewood High School. The two-day tournament drew teams from Florida, California, Nevada and Arizona as well as two squads from the Craig Hospital-sponsored Denver Harlequins. On Feb. 9 Jason Regier, a Harlequin player, was taping his arms and hands in preparation for a game. “I was in Craig about 15 years ago when I saw my first wheelchair rugby tournament,” the Centennial resident said. “I really liked what I saw of the game. I guess I was hooked and a year later, I joined the team. I like the attitude for teammates and other players on and off the court and I like the game as part of my active lifestyle.” He said playing wheelchair rugby is part of making sure to live life at its fullest and a way to show that guys in wheelchairs can still play active, hard-hitting sports and can still travel. Regier has traveled extensively for tournaments and clinics and, most recently, traveling to London where he was a mem-
A bone-jarring block has a Arizone player battles to regain balace while Denver Harlequin player Matt Gypin pushes toward the line to score a goal. The Harlequin won the Feb. 9 Mile High Mayhem Wheelchair Rugby Tournament game, 55-46. Photo by Tom Munds ber of the gold medal wheelchair rugby team at the 2012 Paralympics. He explained that the game is a four-onfour matchup on a basketball court. The object is to use the blocks of teammates in order to break free of defenders and get at least two wheels across the end line to score a goal. The game is divided into eight-minute quarters. Breaking a rule sends the offender into the penalty box, giving the opposition a man-up advantage. Players set picks and screens on attack
and defenders go in hard to try to keep the player with the ball away from the goal line. The ball can be carried but the ball carrier must dribble or pass the ball every 10 seconds. The team on offense has 40 seconds to score a goal or the ball goes over to the opponent so the action moves quickly so there are aggressive plays to stop the attack like high impact collisions that are bone-jarring for the blocker and the blockee. The impact can flatten tires or even knock the wheelchairs over. In either case, support staff has
one minute to right the chair or change the wheel. Players are in special wheelchairs customized to fit them and are four- to sixinches lower than a regular chair. The rugby wheelchairs also have a metal bumper-style system on the front and, to increase speed, the wheels are cambered at a greater angle. Wheels are solid metal instead of being made of spokes and are mounted on a quick-release system to make them easy to change. On the court, sounds are spectators cheered on their favorite teams and the metal-on-metal wheelchair collisions. It is a different atmosphere in the cafeteria Feb. 9 as the Craig Hospital-sponsored Denver Harlequins prepare for their game with the University of Arizona Wildcats. Harlequins veteran Adam Scaturro was taping his hands and arms for the game. “I’ve been playing for 14 years, I love the sport and I started playing when I was still going to Lakewood High School,” he said. “To me, wheelchair rugby provides a level playing field for all athletes and I love the fast pace action on the floor.” He said when he goes into the game, he brings leadership, experience, high intensity plus he likes to go out and hit opponents. Parker resident Robert Schuler joined the Harlequins about four years go. “I really like the sport,” he said. “It is great exercise, it keeps me active and it is a great community of friends. The game also pushes me to get better because I want to improve my play to help my team win.”
Pirate girls seek elusive victory Young basketball team improving but still looking to win one By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood High School girls basketball team wants a win or two as their season heads into the home stretch. The Pirates come into the week 2-15 overall and 0-9 in league with three games left on the regular schedule, all of them on the road. They travel to Vista Peak Feb. 15, go to Skyview Feb. 18 and wrap up the season Feb. 21 at Elizabeth. “We are a young team and, despite playing hard, we only have two wins this season,” Coach Adrian Thompson said during the Feb.11 practice. “It would be nice to win a couple games as we close out the season.” The Feb. 15 game against Vista Peak promises to be a pitched battle because, at least on paper, the teams are pretty evenly matched. The Bisons come into the week 2-17 overall and 1-7 in league. They are averaging 27 points a game and Jaylynn Johnson is the leading scorer, averaging six points per game.
Those statistics are close to the statistics amassed by the Pirates as they are 2-15 overall and 0-9 in league. They are averaging 31.8 points a game with Mason Brainard averaging 16.3 points a game and Elijah Daughtry, who recently joined the team, contributing about nine points a game. Based on statistics, the Pirates also could match up pretty well with Skyview. The Wolverines have a better overall record at 9-10 overall and are 2-6 in league play. But they are not a high scoring team as they are averaging 34 points a game with Shelby Dmovser averaging 7.8ppg as the scoring leader. “I think we can match up pretty well against Vista Peak and Skyview but we know we have to play good basketball if we expect to win,” Coach Thompson said. “I am seeing a lot of improvement and doing better every time we are on the court and I hope we can play maybe our best basketball of the season down the stretch.” She said the good news is the team will only have three senior players graduate in June. However, one of the seniors is Mason Brainard who is the point guard and the team’s leading scorer. “We have some candidates we hope will step up and fill the point guard spot,” Coach Thompson said. “We are working with those girls on their ball handling skills as we look to next season.”
Coach Adrian Thompson, kneeling, discusses strategy with her players during a recent Englewood High School girls basketball game. The Pirates want a win as they near the end of the season. Photo by Tom Munds She said she is pleased by the effort and the fact the team never quits trying. “We are continuing to work hard to improve our play,” she said. “But a win sure would help our confidence and team morale.” One of the young players who regularly plays in varsity games is Julia Kline. “My favorite sport is soccer but I love basketball too,” the sophomore said. “Basketball is fun and all the conditioning you get helps me get ready for soccer.”
Kline said she has improved her basketball skills a lot since the start of the season. “I have worked on my shot a lot and I have worked hard to be a better defender,” she said. “The most fun is to play point guard because you are always in the middle of the action. As point guard, you control the tempo of the game and you are in charge out there.” She said her goal for the season is to improve her points so she can score more points to help her team win.
