Business booming in Centennial Mayor shares recent success stories in annual address By Chris Rotar

crotar@colorado communitymedia.com One of Colorado’s newest municipalities continues to be one of its most thriving cities. That was the obvious takeaway from Centennial’s annual “State of Our City Address” on April 17. “One of the most unique things about Centennial is that major capital projects are funded with the use of cash, and as a re-

sult, the city is debt-free,” Mayor Cathy Noon said during her address before about 300 people at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Centennial. “While other cities struggled through the recession, Centennial continues to do very well because we never over-extended ourselves, and as a result, have the necessary funds to spend when needed.” Noon pointed out that the city’s 2013 revenues of $77.1 million were 10 percent higher than expected, which she attributed largely to a better-than-anticipated sales tax haul. To that end, the mayor detailed numerous recent retail additions at a pair of prominent shopping centers, the Streets at

SouthGlenn and the Centennial Promenade. “And for quenching your thirst,” as Noon put it, the 13-year-old city recently added its first two craft brewers, Blue Spruce Brewing Company and Two22 Brew. The mayor also noted the emergence of a “corporate recreation corridor along Arapahoe Road.” Celebrity Lanes and the recently expanded Centennial Gun Club could soon have company if the development of TopGolf — a computerized driving range with an array of amenities — gets final approval from the Business continues on Page 19

SCRAMBLING FOR EGGS

Goal of legislation is to increase graduation rates By Jennifer Smith

Eggs-cited children rush centerfield at the South Suburban Family Sports Dome in Centennial on April 19 for the annual egg hunt. Hundreds of brightly-colored empty plastic eggs were up for grabs and later traded for a variety of prizes, including healthy snacks, stuffed toys and even an autographed sports merchandise. Hundreds of local kids hit center field at the Family Sports Dome on April 19 in search of some egg-cellent treasure. More than 500 empty eggs were hidden around the field and tracked down by 150 happy hunters who could then trade the empty eggs in for healthy treats, toys and other age-appropriate items.

Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia visited Arapahoe Community College in Littleton on April 14 to address educators gathered to discuss changes in higher education stemming from HB 12-1155, which was designed to raise graduation rates for students who enter college less than prepared. “Leaving college with debt but no degree, that’s the worst of all possible worlds,” he said. “We need to graduate more students, and graduate more diverse students. That’s our goal.” It’s not just good for the students, it’s good for the state’s economy, he added. By the year 2020, 74 percent of all jobs will require some form of higher education. But 40 percent of students who enrolled at a Colorado college in 2011 needed some form of remedial education in math or English, and the number goes up to 66 percent for those in community college. Of those, only about 22 percent graduate. “We are losing students every step of the way,” said Garcia, who at one time was president of Colorado State University at Pueblo. According to its author, HB 12-1155 offers colleges more flexibility in how they offer remedial coursework in an attempt to retain more of those students. “We needed to create flexibility, and we needed to allow the institutions to have more control over this,” said Dr. Matt Gianneschi, director of the Postsecondary and Workforce Development Institute. The institute is an arm of the Denver-based Education Commission of the States, a nonpartisan education-policy agency largely funded by the states it serves.

Long session makes for short fuses The most uttered words during any legislative session could be “bill” and “vote.” But, lately, one could make the case for other four-letter words that have bounced around the Capitol — ones that would make Quentin Tarantino blush. The session is winding down, but some lawmakers seem to be wound awfully tight. Over the last couple of weeks, tempers have flared and emotions have gotten the better of our grown men and women who create our laws. Here are a few recent examples: Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, hurled an expletive toward fellow Republican Rep. Kevin Priola of Henderson on the House floor over his role in a vote on an education bill. That confrontation preceded a vote by Republicans to oust Priola as party whip, a position from which he would resign days later. Rep. Mark Waller, a Colorado Springs Republican who is running for attorney general, barked the same expletive toward Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, after Pabon made a joke on the House floor about Waller’s delegate vote count at the recent GOP state assembly — Waller barely earned a spot on the Republican primary ballot that day. And it’s not just “Men Behaving Badly.” Reps. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, and Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, have been on each other’s throats more than their Adam’s apples. Clearly, something’s in the water at

the Capitol these days. “It is unfortunate. I wish we could all get along,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, doing his best Rodney King impersonation. “I think that sometimes there’s a joke that this is high school at the Capitol. Sometimes, it feels like junior high.” Junior high? It’s been more like watching the best of “The Jerry Springer Show,” sans a hooting audience egging on the behavior — well, except for the press of course. Holbert acknowledged that his comments made to Priola on the House floor recently were made out of frustration. He was upset that Priola, who was House minority whip at the time, did not support a Republican amendment to the Student Success Act, a K-12 funding measure. The amendment had to do with how schools provide transparency over financial figures. Instead, Priola voted for a competing and prevailing Democratic amendment and, seeing as how he didn’t vote for the GOP version, he did not whip up votes for the failed effort. Holbert expressed his displeasure

by walking up to Priola and hurling a comment that begins with the sixth letter in the alphabet. “Tensions were probably running a little higher than normal,” Holbert said. But high tensions are the norm when it comes to the epic Duran and Gerou rivalry. Duran is the chairwoman of the all-important Joint Budget Committee and the House VOTING VOTING ENDS ENDS Appropriations Committee. Gerou serves LOG ON NOW! on the same committees. Those committee hearings really should have been held inside steel cages this year. The two really got into it during an April 2 hearing, where you could have played a drinking game based on the number of times that Duran used her chairwoman’s gavel. Things got ugly after Gerou suggested to a lawmaker that they “make a deal” over funding for bills they were carrying. Gerou later said she was kidding. Duran took Gerou as suggesting “quid pro quo” over legislation, which is a nono. Gerou was not happy with Duran’s interpretation of her comments and let her know it. “There’s nothing that I said that was quid pro quo,” Gerou said angrily. “And

if you are imputing my nature, my ethics, madam chair, I object!” Later that day, Duran said Gerou “hasn’t acted like a state representative” this legislative session and said her conduct has been unprofessional all year. Not to be outdone, Gerou said Duran is “young enough to be my daughter” and that she doesn’t quite understand the rules involved with chairing a committee. Mr. Speaker, what’s up with your members getting all Rowdy Roddy Piper on one another? “I think during the end of session, nerves and tempers get short,” Ferrandino said. “There’s no secret that there’s no love lost between Rep. Duran and Rep Gerou.” I suggested to Ferrandino that it would be quite entertaining to see the creation of a reality TV show called “Crisanta and Cheri” — two women who can’t stand each other, forced to live together in a city apartment, or a deserted island. The speaker said he would “neither confirm or deny that has been kicked around” as a possible skit that is part of the legislature’s end-of-the-year “Hummers” event, where lawmakers roast one another. Look, far be it from me to criticize bad behavior — after all, my cross streets are Sodom Avenue and Gomorrah Boulevard. Believe it or not, politicians are humans who sometimes say or do things they regret. It’ll be interesting to see if things settle down the rest of the session — although, I won’t be holding my breath. Gotta run, now. “Crisanta and Cheri” is on TV.

Reproductive rights effort fizzles Democrats spike own bill prior to scheduled debate By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Democratic effort to bolster women’s reproductive rights was introduced at the Legislature with fanfare, but went out quietly. The bill — which would have prohibited the state from interfering with a woman’s reproductive health care decisions — was killed by Democratic leadership before it ever came up for a highly anticipated debate in the Senate on April 16. The reason behind the last-minute decision by Democrats to kill the legislation depends on which lawmaker one speaks with. The bill sponsor, Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, said the effort was pulled because Republicans had threatened to wreak havoc on the legislative process for the rest of the session, if the bill had gone forward. Kerr said Republicans were planning to use filibusters and other delaying tactics to interfere with key pieces of legislation that are still moving through the Capitol. “It became obvious that D.C.-style politics were going to be happening the last three weeks of the session here,” Kerr said. That’s nonsense, said Republican leadership. “That’s ridiculous,” said Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs. “What they ran into was a firestorm of public dissent, period; a firestorm of public opposition to this political hatchet job.” In the Senate gallery, onlookers who gathered to follow the vote — most of whom were opposed to the legislation — didn’t get much of a show. Senate Majority Leader Rollie Heath of Boulder gave no explanation for spiking the bill when he moved to lay over the measure until the day after the session ends, which kills the legislation this year. The bill would have prohibited state or local governments from enacting “any policy regarding reproductive health care that is inconsistent with or contrary to current evidence-based scientific data and medical consensus …” accompanying bill language states. The effort is a response to continued conservative efforts to restrict women’s reproductive rights, either through the Legislature or the ballot box. The sudden demise of the bill capped a wild, 48-hour se-

quence of events. Catholics converged on the Capitol to protest the bill on April 15. That’s the day debate on the bill was supposed to be held in the Senate. However, the vote was delayed a day because Sen. John Kefalas, D-Fort Collins, went home sick. Kefalas’ vote was needed for the vote to pass in a Senate that Democrats control by a single vote. The next day, speculation swirled that the bill could end up being killed. Colorado Community Media was the first to report that Democratic leaders Report had spent the day figuring out whether they were going to move forward with the bill. Kerr asserts that he had all 18 Democrats on board, but the reaction afterward from a couple of Democratic lawmakers puts that in question. Kefalas voted for the bill in committee. But he later acknowledged that he struggled over his vote — and he never confirmed that he was going to vote yes in the first place. After the vote was killed, Kefalas did not directly answer questions by reporters as to how he would have voted. “All I can say is I express a concern about this and I listened to constituents,” Kefalas said. Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, D-Arvada, was also conflicted. When asked how she was planning to vote, Zenzinger said,

Capitol

“I honestly don’t know.” Zenzinger is a Catholic, first-term lawmaker who will face a tough election bid this November. Asked if she was relieved that she didn’t have to cast a vote, Zenzinger said, “Yeah, I think so, being a Catholic woman.” Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, did not speak with reporters on the Senate floor on April 16. Carroll instead sent an emailed statement, in which she was critical of Republican positions on women’s reproductive rights issues. At the same time, Carroll, like Kerr, said she didn’t want other important pieces of legislation being affected as a result of GOP outrage. “We have made our point, and in the interest of getting the remaining work done on education, jobs, higher education affordability and child care, we laid the bill over,” Carroll said. But Cadman — who denied any effort on the part of Republicans to disrupt the legislative process — said Democrats have only themselves to blame for the bill’s failure. Cadman also referenced last year’s Democratic legislative achievements on hot-button issues, many of which angered Republicans. “They got called on it and, unfortunately, they put their caucus and this entire institution through a significant turmoil over the last few days and dragged a lot of people out of their homes to come express their voices,” Cadman said. “The good news is this time, unlike last year, they listened.”

Mom turns bedtime tale into book Dede Stockton, of Centennial, gets published on first attempt By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dede Stockton is astonished that the bedtime story she invented at the request of her children has been turned into a book. After all, those children are now adults, and the fantasy adventure has been tumbling around in her head for more than a decade. “I was hesitant. I didn’t want to be disappointed,” Stockton said. “If I wrote it, I wanted to make sure it got published.”

The long wait that led to the decision to write the story in its entirety was followed by a short wait. She sent “Sammi Jo and the BEST Day Ever!” to a few publishing houses, and it was accepted within two days by Tate Publishing. The news “totally, totally shocked” her. The story of Sammi Jo, a young girl who befriends a sea serpent, is the first installment in what Stockton hopes will be a series. Stockton Stockton’s kids, tired of their mom reading out of a book, insisted that she tell a story. The out-of-the-blue manifestation surprised even Stockton, and the bedtime tale was retold with more gusto and more

detail until the kids grew up. Stockton, who moved to Centennial four years ago, is poised to finish the sequel by the time “Sammi Jo” hits shelves — both physical and virtual — on May 27. In the meantime, Stockton is pursuing young readers at book signings around Douglas and Arapahoe counties and selling the book on the Tate Publishing website. As a lifelong reader who escaped into books while her military family moved around the world, Stockton has always dreamed of becoming an author. Assuming sales of “Sammi Jo” are good enough to command a second book, Stockton, 56, plans to dedicate herself to the craft while maintaining her day job as a virtual assistant. In spite of the limited release thus far,

Stockton has already gained a handful of devoted fans, including an 8-year-old boy who stopped by her booth at a recent Ponderosa High School craft fair. He read a few chapters and insisted that his mom buy the book, whose target audience is children ages 4-8. Stockton is in talks with a few school librarians who want to schedule her for an author visit this fall. “The most important thing is to get my name out there,” she said. The book will be available on Amazon and the Barnes & Noble website, as well as www.sammijoandthebestdayever.com. Ten percent of all sales will go to the Fisher House, a nonprofit that provides housing for families visiting injured military personnel.

Every day is Earth Day at Peabody Elementary School in Centennial, but during their annual celebration April 18, students got down and dirty about taking care of the planet. “Earth Day is about helping the environment of our school,” said fifth-grader Lily Francis, president of the student council, who led an enthusiastic handful of her classmates on a mission to mulch every tree on school property. Francis explained that the second- and third-graders helped pick up trash on the grounds as their contribution to Earth Day, and the fourth-graders planted some flowers. The students also maintain a vegetable garden throughout the year. “It takes responsibility to take care of a garden,” said fifth-grader Will Lugo. Throughout the day, when they weren’t getting their green thumbs dirty, the kids were treated to conservation-themed stories told by members of the all-volunteer Spellbinders club, who visit regularly and hold the little ones rapt with their interactive storytelling skills. “It’s fantastic,” said Dee O’Donnell, a former schoolteacher who has been with Spellbinders for 12 years. “The kids just listen, and you think they’re not going to listen because they’re so used to being entertained by television.” Paraprofessional Matt Davis perhaps had the best job of the day, reading the ever-popular Dr. Seuss classic “The Lorax” during lunch recess. The book is a gentle but somber reminder that capitalism over

Spellbinder Dee O’Donnell spins the tale of “Just Rewards,” a Native American folk tale about taking care of the Earth, for Peabody Elementary students on April 12. ecology can lead to disaster. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not,” wrote the lyrical Seuss in 1971. It’s a message the Peabody kids take to heart every day. The school partnered with Terracycle, a company working toward a zero-waste environment. Every classroom has its own recycling box, which gets sent to Terracycle when it’s full. They turn literally everything into something new, things like compost and building materials, jewelry and school supplies. During a presentation on the company from Lucy Daberkow, the PTO’s sustainability coordinator, the kids demonstrated that they clearly grasp the concept of recycling and are totally on board. Asked how they can help save the environment, they knew the answers: “Don’t think of garbage as garbage.” “Buy less.” “Turn things into something else.”

Little help for those with ‘dual diagnoses’ I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS A raised red oval, a couple of inches in diameter, sits at the top of Alex Meredith’s forehead. t is the physical mark of a besieged mind. Meredith, who is 29, started bashing himself in the head when he was in his teens. Now, his parents can see it coming. A tranquil moment of drawing at the kitchen table cedes to Alex’s high-pitched squeal, his wrists colliding. Once he starts hitting himself, there’s nothing to do but freeze and wait for it to pass. Meredith was diagnosed with autism when he was very young. Later, his parents were told he also displayed symptoms of mental illness — obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, psychosis and depression. For Carol and John Meredith, Alex’s parents, the search for treatment has brought them to psychiatrists and psychologists, to mental health centers and the communitycentered boards that serve people with autism and other developmental disabilities. Carol heads The Arc of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, an organization that advocates for people with disabilities, and has access to more than the usual range of leads and contacts. Still, nobody seems to know exactly what to do with Alex. The Merediths are not alone in their frustration, according to an ongoing study by JFK Partners, a program that does research on developmental disabilities at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. For people with the dual diagnoses of developmental disability — which can range from Down syndrome to autism to cerebral palsy — and mental illness, getting treatment means navigating a fragmented system, the study has found. Funding quirks have created huge gaps in care. As a result, family members find themselves alone — and often isolated — in trying to manage complex problems that need professional support.

Lack of help can hurt

In the worst cases, the repercussions across society can be extreme. In a recent interview with The New Yorker, the father of Newtown school killer Adam Lanza described trying and failing to find adequate treatment for his son, whose world slowly shrank to contain only his mother and his video games. Lanza was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, considered a mild form of autism, when he was 13. A psychiatrist at Yale’s Child Study Center later noted symptoms of obsessivecompulsive disorder as well, and his father now believes his autism may have masked schizophrenia. “Asperger’s makes people unusual, but it doesn’t make people like this,” Peter Lanza told The New Yorker. The number of Coloradans affected isn’t small. Nationally, around one in three people with a developmental disability also has a diagnosis of some form of mental illness, according to a frequently cited study by the National Association of State directors of Developmental Disabilities Services. That would translate to around 35,000 people in the state with dual diagnoses, based on common estimates of the prevalence of developmental disabilities. Many are left without adequate care, and some without any care at all. Expensive visits to the emergency room — which often provide little help except for short-

Holistic care urged

The current system in Colorado “divides people up into their different diagnoses,” says JFK Partners director Cordelia Robinson Rosenberg. “But care has to treat people holistically.” Most people with both developmental disabilities and behavioral health conditions are covered by Medicaid. But in Colorado, the public insurance treats the two diagnostic categories under incompatible payment systems - the first as fee-for-service, and the second as managed care. Carl Clark, who heads the Mental Health Center of Denver, says that while healthcare providers often try to work together to treat people who fall into both categories, the divide in payment models is explicit. “Our funding from the state (for Medicaid enrollees) says you do not use this for people with developmental disability,” Clark says. As a result, mental health centers are often ill-equipped to offer some of the services — such as long-term housing support — that people with developmental disabilities need. At the same time, the two funding models have left little room to develop specialists who are skilled in diagnosing and treating both developmental disabilities — which can include fetal alcohol syndrome, a notoriously hard thing to pinpoint — and complex mental illnesses. And even experienced psychiatrists may have trouble attributing behaviors to one diagnosis or another. “Unfortunately,” says Clark, “the science does not divide the brain up as clearly as funding sources do.” The complexity of who pays for what can have real impacts on treatment. Carol Meredith recently discovered that a psychologist who was having some success in treating her son hadn’t been paid since October. Nobody — including the psychologist herself — could figure out who was responsible for paying her. Worse, research from the University of Colorado has found that a significant number of Coloradans are excluded from treatment entirely, Rosenberg says. Medicaid establishes an IQ threshold for developmental disabilities, excluding people who surpass that bar but who still suffer from severe social or intellectual limitations. Surveys conducted by JFK Partners found that for every one person who is receiving services for developmental disabilities under Medicaid, Rosenberg says, there’s another person who isn’t being served. That includes people who have unmet mental-health needs.

Alex Meredith, 29, draws as his mother, Carol, observes at the family home recently in Littleton. Meredith was diagnosed with autism when he was very young. He also displayed symptoms of mental illness — obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, psychosis and depression. Seeking treatment for these conditions means navigating a fragmented system with funding quirks and huge gaps in care. Photo by I-NEWS AT ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS selves, or hurting them, and they don’t know what to do,” says Rymer, “we will advise people to call 911.” Doing so repeatedly can help build a case for the kind of sustained long-term services that people with dual diagnoses need. But encounters with police and emergency rooms can cost patients, hospitals and taxpayers a huge amount of money. And ERs are geared toward crisis management — often the most disruptive way and least effective way to treat someone who needs consistent care. Valerie Saiz and her husband Richard waited four days and four nights in an emergency room in 2010 — and again in 2011 — in an effort to get treatment for their now 16-year-old son. Graham, who has autism and bipolar disorder, had been hitting himself violently. His parents took turns restraining him.

“We noticed that the other kids getting admitted to the ER, if they were aggressive to others, they’d restrain them,” said Saiz. “If they were self-abusive, we’d have to do it ourselves.” Each time he was admitted, Graham was discharged without a plan for treatment, says Saiz. The family was forced to craft their own solution, putting a helmet and mitts on Graham to protect him from himself, and sometimes locking him in his room to protect the rest of the family. “If we’re locking Graham in his room for safety, I’m sure other people are. Other people just call 911 left and right. People have to do what they can to survive,” Saiz says. “But it shouldn’t be about survival.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS. To read more, go to inewsnetwork.org.

term stabilization — have become a primary line of defense. Advocates like Meredith are hoping that the latest state-commissioned study at CU will lead to a change in the way that people with complex developmental and mentalhealth diagnoses are treated. One option would be to model Colorado’s care after a program that began in New Hampshire and has since been adopted in other states, with the idea of providing crisis intervention and care coordinators for people who needed these services. But any solutions remain a few years off at best, leaving families in this situation to seek each other out for ideas and support.

South Metro Chamber official leaves for Lone Tree Holwell taking economic development expertise south

Help Wanted “We really wanted to make sure we had

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce’s chief operating officer and economic development director will join the City of Lone Tree’s staff late this month. Jeff Holwell starts his new post as the city’s economic development director April 28. “There really is no other community in south Denver that has as much opportunity as the City of Lone Tree for corporate and other types of business growth,” said the father of two, who lives in Arapahoe County. “This is a great, long-term professional opportunity. I think the economic culture of Lone Tree is very bright. I plan to contribute all of my talents to the cause.” Lone Tree will pay Holwell, who left his position with the Centennial-based chamber on April 18, an annual salary of $99,000. A south Denver native, Holwell also worked as director of business development in the State of Colorado’s Office of Economic Development and International Trade. Those factors combine to give him an in-depth knowledge of state and south metro economics. Lone Tree City Manager Seth Hoffman, who stepped into the city’s lead role late last year, said Holwell fits with the city’s near and long-range plans. A recent analysis focused on goals stretching from three to 20 years into the future.

the right talent and resources in place to implement the mayor and city’s council’s strategy and vision for the city,” Hoffman said. That led to the search for an economic development director. Holwell will assume many of the responsibilities that now fall to business development coordinator Torie Brazitis, who is moving into a new city position as management analyst. Holwell will oversee economic activity not just on the as-of-yet undeveloped east side of RidgeGate, but the nearly developed west side, the pending redevelopment of the Entertainment District, the Park Meadows area and retention and growth of existing businesses. “I think the opportuniHolwell ties are significant throughout the city,” Holwell said. “Yes, the new development on the east side of course is the long-term activity. But the existing businesses, as well as the existing opportunities, will also be significant. Even north of Lincoln, there is still plenty of opportunity for business attraction and retention.” Holwell joined the staff of the South Metro Chamber in 2011 as the director of its Economic Development Group. He added the title of COO in the summer of 2013. His departure came about three weeks after the resignation of the chamber’s longtime president and CEO, John Brackney.

Chamber names interim director McGilley to take helm at south metro business group for now Staff report The South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce on April 21 named senior staffer Marcia McGilley to serve as its interim director until a permanent replacement for John Brackney is found. “Marcia is an extraordinary leader with extensive experience in strategic planning, business development and forging strategic alliances,” Herm Brocksmith, chair of the chamber’s board of directors, said in a news release. “She has the skills, talent and vision to lead the chamber into an even more dynamic future.” McGilley has been the executive director of the South Metro Denver and Aurora Small Business Development Centers since January 2008. “I am honored to lead the chamber’s growth in the areas of economic development, public policy, education and sustainable infrastructure, which are vital to keeping our business community thriving,” McGilley said. “We have a great staff, strong board of directors and many talent-

ed business leaders that I look forward to collaborating with on our existing and new initiatives over the coming months.” McGilley has more than 20 years of public, private and nonprofit experience, helping with start-ups and expansions and providing consulting services. She has owned several of her own consulting and training businesses. McGilley will retain McGilley her position at the SBDC, where sales have increased from $800,000 to $9.4 million annually since she started, according the statement. In 2011, the center earned recognition from the United States Small Business Administration as one of the top 10 in the country, and in 2012, McGilley was named the state’s small-business advocate of the year by the Association of Small Business Development Center. She is a founding member of the Rocky Mountain Cleantech Open and served as its regional and national training director. The chamber has seated a selection committee to begin the search for a permanent CEO.

Senior center proposed at Oakbrook Neighbors are not a fan of the plan By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com A plan to build a 118-unit assisted-living center in the Oakbrook Shopping Center, just northeast of County Line Road and Broadway, has neighbors to its north crying foul. “I think all of us feel like we’re treated like the redheaded stepchild of Littleton,” said Steve Bunnell, president of the Oakbrook Homeowners Association, during a meeting hosted on April 9 by the project’s planners. George Swintz, vice president at Corporate Office Properties Trust, explained that if the city approves the plan, the four-story building will rise adjacent to the Motor Vehicles office on the east side of the site, just north of 3 Margaritas restaurant. “It’s going to look like a behemoth standing at the end of the building,” said Bunnell. He and others fear the building will block their views of the Rocky Mountains, as has Littleton Adventist Hospital. Because the center will share the existing parking lot with the stores, they worry

overflow will spill into the neighborhood streets. And despite the fact that Bunnell explained it’s typical that only a handful of residents will have cars, they say the center will contribute to already congested traffic in the area. One person suggested that should the seniors venture out on their own to visit the stores in the shopping center, they could fall and become a liability to the business owners. Swintz stressed that unlike active senior living, such as is found at the nearby Windcrest homes, seniors who ultimately make the move to assisted living do so because they need help with things like shopping and driving and don’t get out much on their own. The facility will have a van to take its residents to appointments and to run errands, and many services will be offered on site, including laundry, a salon, movies and even a nurse. Swintz said the demographics of the area, lack of competition and the visibility of the site make it a good one for such a venture. “There’s a bubble of seniors who are getting older and older,” he said. The trend is that more of them are aging at home, he said, meaning a higher turnover rate for assisted-living facilities. He noted that it will likely be a win for the shopping center, as well, thanks to peo-

Because the facility is a private business, it won’t require a rezone. But the planning board will have to approve the change to

the site development plan, which requires a public hearing. That will likely be scheduled in the coming months, said Swintz, and construction could start in about a year.

Youths sought for commission

South Suburban Park and Recreation District is looking for dynamic students to serve on its newly established Youth Commission. The purpose of the Youth Commission is for teens to advise South Suburban staff on what is important to youth and teens who live and play in the area. The commission will also provide opportuni-

ties for youth to volunteer and give back to the community. Eligible youths include middle and high school students in grades 8-12, who reside within the district and have and maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA in school. Youths must be drug and alcohol free, be willing to share ideas in group settings and be accepting of others and their ideas. The commission will serve in an advisory role to the Recreation and Community Services Department, and members will be selected through an

application and interview process facilitated through the Youth Commission and staff liaison. Candidates will be appointed by the South Suburban Board of Directors.

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Charles Schwab is moving forward with construction on its third, fivestory office building and parking garage ahead of its original schedule. Originally targeted as part of a second phase of development at the Lone Tree campus on Lincoln Avenue, Schwab said it can save money on construction by speeding the construction schedule. The 187,500-square-foot third building will be complete by spring 2015. “It will have the same square footage as each of the other two buildings and similar footprint and design,” said Schwab spokeswoman Sarah Bulgatz. “Whether or not it will house a comparable number of Schwab employees is still to be determined.” The 1,233-car, five-level second parking garage could be finished by late 2014. In February, Schwab announced it will move almost half of its San Francisco-based workforce to other national Schwab offices; some of them likely will come to Lone Tree. About 1,000 of the 2,200 California workers will be relocated in the next three to five years. Work on the first two large buildings, which combined will house about 2,200 employees, is in the home stretch. Schwab anticipates moving some of its Denver-area em-

Charles Schwab is starting construction of its third office building as it nears completion on the first two at the new Lone Tree campus. All three will feature the same design. Photo by Jane Reuter ployees - now scattered among three leased buildings - to Lone Tree late this summer. Its retail branch building, a twostory structure at the corner of Park Meadows Drive and Lincoln Avenue, is set to open in early May. Schwab broke ground on the Lone Tree campus in May 10, 2013. “We’re very excited they’ve moved up their schedule for the third building,” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning. “I think it shows continued confidence in the Lone Tree community and their commitment to our community.” It also shows that “there’s plenty of room for expansion and corporate commitment,” he said. The Fortune 500 financial secu-

rities firm, based in San Francisco, broke ground on its Lone Tree campus on May 10, 2013. The first phase of construction includes a 6,500-square-foot cafeteria, a building with a garden rooftop, outdoor amphitheater, parking garage with 18 electric charging stations, bike lockers, connections to area bike paths and walking trails, and interior walkways connecting the buildings. The company’s 76-year-old namesake leader started the San Franciscobased company 40 years ago with four employees. It now employs nearly 15,000 people and serves 8.2 million client brokerage accounts. At build-out, the campus could house 4,000 to 5,000 employees.

opinions / yours and ours

Life has challenges; words have power Reading is one of the things I enjoy so very much in life. And as an avid reader, I have accumulated a vast and diverse book collection. Some are worn around the edges, some are dog-eared, sticky notes protrude from the tops of several, and many are filled with highlights and underscored words with my notes written in the margin. In my line of business, I find myself going back to some of my favorites for ideas and reminders on how to improve in some way or handle a situation. So the other day I was dealing with a very challenging family issue and it was happening right at the one-year anniversary of the loss of my wife and my kids’ mom. I took some time to sit in my library and meditate on what was happening around us and I was feeling sad, hurt and confused. And as I thought and prayed about the situation and events,

I looked up and some of the titles of the books literally seemed to come to life right before my eyes. Specific books and words seemed to become bigger in font size and boldness. They were books such as Zig Ziglar’s “Embrace the Struggle,” or “The Journey” by Billy Graham. There were also titles such as “Be Great” by Peter Thomas and “Results” by Gary Neilson and Bruce A. Pasternack. There are hundreds of books in my library, and as I continued to scan

letter to the editor Rosser the right choice

There couldn’t be a better choice than Mark Rosser for the Southgate Water and Sanitation Boards. Mark will not only bring his 25 years of water and wastewater engineering expertise, but also a conservative business acumen to ensure the reliability and quality of our water and sanitation services that the rest of us take for granted. Mark is ethical, open-minded and respectful of all opinions. As an elected director of our local fire department’s board, I’m highly aware of how much our community depends on water availability,

and I know we can rely on Mark to help provide for our continuing water needs in the future. Please join me in voting for Mark, either in the voting booth from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. on May 6 at the Southgate Water and Sanitation District Offices, 3722 East Orchard Road in Centennial, or by applying for and then voting by absentee ballot.

the shelves and titles I saw “Gung Ho” by Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles and Wayne Dyer’s “The Power of Intention.” Although many other titles and books caught my attention, the final one I will include here is John Ortberg’s “God is Closer Than You Think.” Here I was, feeling extremely challenged and quite low, and one of the things that I enjoy most in life hit me right between the eyes: my books. Just think of the words alone and how powerful they are and how much encouragement they bring. “Embrace the Struggle,” “The Journey,” “Be Great,” “Results,” “Gung Ho,” “The Power of Intention,” and “God is Closer Than You Think.” Immediately my spirits were lifted and my attitude elevated. I am in a struggle, it will be a journey, as the leader of my family I have to be great in order to get the results we will need, this will require a gung-ho attitude,

it will be an intentional effort, and God has always been and will be right by my side. For me, words are powerful, the actions they inspire are incredible, and the adjustment in attitude is simply amazing. Most days I read for pleasure, to grow, and to learn. I find personal development materials such as books or audio programs to be an absolute asset to my success. And when needed personally or professionally, these powerful words are packed with wisdom. How about you, do you have a library or source of knowledge and encouragement? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And as we benefit from the power of words, this really will be a better than good week.

Bill would battle sex trafficking It is not a well-known fact that the fastest-growing segment of organized crime, as well as the third-largest criminal enterprise in the world, is sex trafficking. And while many believe this is only an international problem that pervades Third World countries, the unfortunate reality is that sex trafficking also occurs here in the United States. The United Nations estimates that there is $9 billion in revenue generated from sex trafficking in the U.S. alone. Moreover, according to the Department of Justice, the average age of the women who are trafficked is between 13 and14 years old. In Colorado, over 30 percent of the human trafficking victims are minors, according to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center. This is striking given that the FBI cites an estimated 293,000 American youths are at risk of becoming victims of commercial sexual exploitation. The majority of these victims are runaways who live on the streets and who generally come from homes where they have been abused or from families who have abandoned them. Sadly, these women and young girls are too often sold to traffickers, where they are drugged and abused into submission. In 2000, Congress passed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), which created the first comprehensive federal

law to address trafficking. The law allows for prosecution and severe punishment through newly formed federal crimes. According to the FBI, this operation has succeeded in saving nearly 900 children from sex trafficking by successfully convicting more than 500 pimps, madams, and their associates. However, given the size and scope of this horrible industry of human exploitation, more needs to be done. Fortunately, many local and state law enforcement agencies have joined federal efforts to combat sex trafficking. In Colorado, the Colorado State Patrol created the Smuggling and Trafficking Interdiction Unit (STIU) to address these issues of human smuggling and human trafficking. Since 2006, this unit has launched efforts to eradicate our state of this type of organized crime. Coffman continues on Page 9

Fracking analysis focuses on economy Consortium pays for study that avoids other potential impacts By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com A University of Colorado-Boulder Leeds School of Business study concludes that a statewide moratorium on hydraulic fracturing would put a drag on Colorado’s economy, though the study’s leader said they don’t know potential environmental impacts of the controversial practice, known as “fracking.” Such a moratorium is not currently proposed, though several Colorado municipalities have enacted fracking bans or moratoriums, and recent initiatives propose more local control and increased setbacks for oil and gas drilling. Researcher Brian Lewandowski talked about the fracking analysis during an April 16 meeting at the Lone Tree Arts Center. A consortium including the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, the Denver South Economic Development Partnership and a nonprofit economic think tank, Common Sense Policy Roundtable, contracted with the Leeds School to do the fracking analysis and other studies about economics tied to public policy. Lewandowski said the consortium pays them quarterly. Research subjects are decided by a pan-

el vote including members of the Leeds School and the three groups. Lewandowski does not sit on the panel and said the outside agencies are “hands off” about the studies’ conclusions and methodology. According to the fracking analysis, the oil and gas industry and related activities contributed $29.6 billion to Colorado’s economy in 2012, which Lewandowski said was based on readily available facts. “We studied what we know about the industry,” he said. “We know employment, taxes, production. There are a lot of things we don’t know; we don’t know environmental impacts, air quality, water quality, noise pollution. The question is, `What value would you put on these topics?’” Lewandowski noted those issues and impacts also are being studied, but that will take many years. “I think it would be really haphazard for us to assign an arbitrary price to these things before they’re fully understood,” he said. Fracking is the process of drilling into the earth, injecting a high-pressure mix of water, sand and chemicals and releasing oil and natural gas trapped in rocks, allowing it to flow out of wells. Statistics show more than 95 percent of Colorado’s oil and gas wells have been fracked. The practice is not new, but is becoming more prevalent, and horizontal drilling technology has greatly expanded its reach. Lewandowski said restricting fracking has economic tradeoffs, pointing to industry-related jobs that pay more than twice the average wages and are growing in number. Collectively in 2012, the industry

Denver South Economic Development Partnership president Mike Fitzgerald kicks off an April 16 Lone Tree Arts Center meeting about the economic impact of fracking. Photo by Jane Reuter contributed about $3.4 billion in income to Colorado households, or 2.8 percent of the state’s total salary and wages. “Property taxes are perhaps the largest payment from the oil and gas industry — about $675 million in 2012,” he said. “School districts represent the majority of this, more than half if you look at mill levies across the state. “When you stack up all these taxes, we estimate it to be between $1 (billion) and $1.3 billion that stays nested in the state of Colorado in any given year.” If a statewide moratorium ever were imposed, “Colorado could expect to lose about 68,000 jobs on average in the first five years (and) 93,000 jobs over the long view, between 2015 and 2040,” Lewandowski said. Current increased setback proposals

wouldn’t have the same impact. “We modeled this on a worst-case scenario,” he said. Lewandowski cautioned that the Leeds School study shouldn’t be considered in isolation. “There’s so much data that demonstrates the economic importance of the industry that it’s hard to deny that from the economic standpoint that it wouldn’t be detrimental to the economy (to restrict it),” Lewandowski said. “The economics shouldn’t be the only thing you take into consideration. “The analogy I use is that when I’m buying a house, I look at the house itself, but I’m also looking at the view and the schools, the neighborhood, the amenities around it. This study should hopefully be part of the conversation, but I don’t think it should be the whole conversation.”

Steadman also took issue with supporters of the bill who may not live in areas that have to deal with high-traffic concerns. “You represent districts and towns that don’t even have stoplights,” Steadman quipped. Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, also op-

posed the legislation. She said that communities in her district want to see more driver detection technology, not less. “I have, in my district, communities that have requested me to vote no on this, who are begging me to vote no on this because of the safety factor,” Newell said.

Red light camera ban could get green light By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Red light cameras could be a thing of the past, under a bill that is making its way through the Legislature. The bipartisan legislation would prohibit the use of red light cameras and photo radars anywhere in the state. Communities sometimes use the technology to slow down speeding drivers and to increase revenues. The bill received initial approval in the Senate on April 17 and is expected to pass the chamber before the legislation moves to the House. Rep. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley, a bill sponsor, contends that the use of red light cameras and other driving detection technology is a “cash grab” on the part of communities, and that their presence can have an adverse impact on public safety. Renfroe and other supporters argue that drivers sometimes slam on the brakes after noticing the equipment, which can lead to the very accidents communities are trying to prevent. And bill supporters also said that a single picture of a vehicle crossing an intersection often doesn’t take into consideration other road factors that impact the way people drive. “A camera can take a picture, but it

Recently, the STIU, along with other state and federal agencies, stopped organized human trafficking operations out of various massage parlors and spas in Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Our local operations along with national efforts have had some success, but there are other ways for us to combat the growth of sex trafficking in the U.S. — we need to target its economic allies as well. Shockingly, there is big business in the online advertisements that facilitate this sex slavery. Online classified services are making millions of dollars of revenue generated from the advertisement of children for sex. Recent reports indicate that online prostitution advertising revenue generated $45 million in 2013 alone. Obviously, this is an issue that needs more attention from national policymakers. For this reason, I am proud to cosponsor H.R. 4225, the SAVE Act, which was recently introduced by Rep. Ann Wagner,

doesn’t tell the story,” Renfroe said. Supporters pointed to a number of areas of concern over the technology. Sen. Lucia Guzman, D-Denver, a bill co-sponsor, said there isn’t any evidence that indicates that the devices have “a tangible effect on public safety.” Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial, said the flashes that emit from the cameras can trigger epileptic seizures. Balmer also said the devices interfere with a driver’s right to confront his or her accuser in court. But the bill had its share of opponents who said communities would suffer if the bill becomes law. Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, said the use of red light cameras at a problematic intersection in his hometown has saved lives. He also said the use of the technology is especially vital in areas where “human management is impossible.” “This is about safety,” Ulibarri said. “This is about life and death. This is about real folks who may be injured.” Amendments by Ulibarri and other bill opponents to either weaken or postpone the legislation failed to garner enough support to pass. Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, said red light camera technology that has been placed at busy city intersections has impacted public safety in a positive way. R-Mo. The bill seeks to prohibit entities from knowingly selling advertising that leads to sex trafficking activities. Although larger measures are needed to prevent issues like domestic violence that isolate young women from society, the SAVE Act will make this sex trafficking less profitable by cutting off methods of advertising. Moreover, the SAVE Act criminalizes this behavior and provides the tools to allow all levels of law enforcement to combat this pernicious exploitation of American women and children in the U.S. As a member of Congress, I will do what I can, but these repugnant sex traffickers operate outside both our legal and moral frameworks. Therefore, we need a total effort from our community, both local and national, to stop this heinous activity. If you would like to help the effort, I urge you to contact the Colorado Network to End Human Trafficking (CoNEHT) at 1-866-4555075 or the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking at 303-295-0451.

Battling bipolar disorder By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Timothy Bishop’s battle with bipolar disorder began in a mud puddle. “I had shot into mania, and then went off the charts into outer space,” he said.

When he was 19, during an argument with his girlfriend, he had his first psychotic break. “I chased her to her house in anger,” he remembers. “She locked the door, thank God, she locked herself in. I took off my shirt, and there was this mud puddle. I started smearing the mud all over myself. … it was crazy, literally crazy.” The girlfriend called his sister, who called his dad, who drove there and ordered him into the car. “I could tell that he got it, that I was out of whack,” said Bishop. That began a long journey of both good and bad psychiatrists, medicine that made things worse or better, therapy that worked or didn’t, choices right or wrong. But ultimately, he earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology in 1989 and spent years working with at-risk kids. Today, at 48, he’s a certified teen life coach with his Bishop own business, Teach to Reach, located in Parker. His experiences offer a unique perspective working with kids, one he hopes will help others be more aware of the challenges people diagnosed with a mental disorder can face. But he still has to manage his disorder and be ever alert for returning symptoms. Just because one medicine has worked for years, doesn’t mean it always will. Bishop jokes that mania can come in handy when working with teens, but it can also lead to things like risky behavior, spending too much, overindulging habits, substance abuse and more. “I’ve never done cocaine, but I’ve seen people do cocaine, and it’s probably like doing cocaine times 10,” he said. “I was writing music, and I don’t know how to write music. But I had all these rock operas I wanted to write. Then I realized it was just a crazy spider web of writing that was on the paper, but it looked normal to me. That’s like a metaphor a manic brain.” The other end of the spectrum can lead to lethargy, lack of motivation, self-medication and even suicide. “Depression can cause you deep shame that you are depressed,” said Bishop. “That you are affecting other people, that you have no hope, that you are in despair, that you just don’t belong here anymore. But ultimately what it would do to my family flashes into my mind, obviously, or

I would have done it.” There have been several times in his life where he often thought about killing himself, he said, usually coming after a tragic event or big life change. “But I didn’t, because I’ve had a support system around me, especially my wife, and a will to live,” he says. He and his wife of 24 years, Melissa, have a 12-year-old daughter. “This disorder doesn’t define me,” he said. “It has helped me see people in a different way, to be more compassionate, to be perhaps more intuitive. There’s a gift that goes along with bipolar, and that’s creativity.” Because bipolar disorder runs in families, Bishop says he knows he and his wife have to be watchful. He said parents should be especially concerned if their child starts sleeping too much or not enough, begins self-medicating with drugs or alcohol, or becomes unable to let go of anger or sadness. “She is all about fun and relationships, so I would worry if she started alienating herself,” he said. He also believes parents should encourage and support kids with their passions. “Many of the students channeled their gifts, and sometimes their pain, from mental-illness issues through the various art forms. … (In doing what they love), most of the time they are exposed to others who can show support, encouragement and love. It is one more way to have eyes on those who might need it.” If parents suspect their child’s behavior is more than just signs of normal teenage weirdness, they should gently ask about their state of mind, says Bishop. “I mean, what if you don’t ask, and he kills himself the next day. Then what?” he said. Bishop is working with the south metro-area chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness to help get information into area schools, and says NAMI is a great resource for parents who might be worried. “I had the opportunity to coach, and I’m at the best place I’ve ever been in my life,” he said. “What wrapped it all up for me was the transformational work I have done through learning to become a coach. Sometimes past memories cause me pain, of course, but I understand more and more that there was a purpose in them, as with everything.”

Youth tanning legislation fails again Bill falls 4-3 in Senate Appropriations Committee after passing House By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Once again, an effort to curb artificial

tanning among youths has failed at the Legislature. House Bill 1054 died after it failed to garner enough support to make it out of a Senate committee last week. The bill would have prohibited persons under 18 from using artificial tanning devices, particularly tanning beds. It is the third year in a row that a youth tanning bed restriction bill has died at the Capitol.

“I was disappointed because I believe this is a very important piece of legislation to protect young children,” said Sen. Lois Tochtrop, D-Thornton, a bill sponsor. Tochtrop and other bill supporters cited the potentially cancer-causing ultraviolet rays that emit from tanning beds as motivation behind the effort. They believed that it was in the state’s best interest to prevent youths from using artificial tanning devices, because it would result in fewer cases of life-threatening melanoma skin cancer. More than 30 states place some sort of limitations on youth tanning. Had the bill become law, businesses would have faced stiff fines for allowing youths to use their tanning devices. The bill had previously passed the House and a Senate committee prior to its demise in the Senate Appropriations Committee. The bill failed on a vote of 4-3, with Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, joining committee Republicans in voting against

the bill. The bill faced stiff odds even before it got to the Senate. It passed the Democrat-majority Senate by just two votes, with four Democrats voting against the effort. Many who opposed the bill said the effort was a government overreach that takes away the rights of parents to make their own decisions of what’s best for their children. The legislation was of particular importance to Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster, the House bill sponsor. Peniston had tried unsuccessfully in previous legislative sessions to get a youth tanning ban through the Capitol. Because she is term-limited, this was Peniston’s last effort to get the bill through. “I am deeply disappointed about what happened in the Senate and I hope that somebody is here next year to pick this up and make it a reality,” Peniston said.

Euclid Hall gets magazine nod

Larry Zierer of LaZy B Acres in Wiggins brought four fuzzy angora goats to the April 12 Fiber Festival. Photos by Sonya Ellingboe

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ coloradocommunitymedia.com In April, the Littleton Museum’s very special Navajo-Churro sheep are sheared, and it’s the occasion for an annual Fiber Festival. The hardy historic breed is the kind of sheep Littleton’s early residents would have raised on their farms — with thick coats of black and caramel-colored wool. In addition, the museum’s interpreters at the April 12 festival had a group of weathered-looking dye pots heating over open fires as they demonstrated dyeing techniques, hanks of variously colored yarn hung to dry, while the costumed women introduced new ones into the natural dye baths and answered questions from curious parents and children. At intervals, the

electric sheep shears were turned on as an assistant delivered a rotund ewe to the shearer. Explaining that if she couldn’t get both front feet on the ground, she wouldn’t think she could get away, he set her on her bottom and began to skillfully take off a year’s growth of wool — all in one thick piece. After about 10 minutes, the ewe looked much cooler and was carried back to her pen. Visitors could place a guess on how much a fleece weighed. Wide-eyed toddlers were as fascinated as the grown-ups over this bit of old-fashioned agricultural technique. There were also demonstrations of skirting, washing, carding, knitting and spinning spread around the 1860s farm under sheds topped with brush. And there were a few woolly visitors: from Gentle Spirit Alpaca Farm in Wiggins, Nancy Simmons Holloway brought an al-

paca and a paco-vicuna. Both were gentle and interested in the little people who bounced around the area. Holloway maintains a traveling “shop” and does about eight shows a year, she said. She is part of a group of alpaca raisers who exhibit together — as many as 20 booths at the National Western Stock Show. “There are a lot of fiber enthusiasts out there,” she said. From LaZy B Acres in Bennett, Larry Zierer brought four white angora goats and two angora rabbits — holding a soft, wriggly baby goat up to the fence so kids could pet it. Over in the meadow, there was a demonstration by a sheepherding dog to show another facet of a business that still goes on in Colorado. Families who enjoyed this sunny afternoon will no doubt be back next year for another time trip to the 19th century.

Denver’s Euclid Hall, in Larimer Square, has been praised for its food, mainly because of James Beard Award-nominated chef Jorel Pierce and co-owner Jennifer Jasinski, a “Top Chef Masters” finalist. Add one of America’s best beer bars to the accolades, courtesy of Travel + Leisure magazine. Here’s some of what T+L wrote about Euclid Hall: Jessica Cann and Jules Bouchard’s expert sourcing have made this brick-walled 1863 landmark building one of the best beer halls in all of Colorado — and according to Food & Wine, one of America’s best gastropubs in one of America’s best cities for foodies. Locals belly up for 12 taps, beer cocktails, and an extensive menu of bottles and cans quirkily ranked by mathematical difficulty (“Arithmetic” session beers to strong, complex bad boys under “Quantum Mechanics”). Bestsellers like Boulevard’s Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale and Avery IPA get paired with way-above-average bar bites by Jorel Pierce.

Montgomery leaving 9News

One of my favorite TV news characters, Kirk Montgomery, is leaving 9News. According to a Denver Post story, the entertainment reporter-anchor at KUSAChannel 9 since 2001, is out at 9News. He will move to at WILX, the NBC affiliate in Lansing, Mich., reportedly to become anchor of a new 4 p.m. newscast. Montgomery announced his exit on his Facebook page April 16 after joking on the 4:30 p.m. broadcast about growing up in Michigan (and spending time on a llama farm). He earlier wrote about not being offered a full one-year contract at Channel 9. On Twitter he said, “Mixed emotion I say goodbye to CO and @9NEWS on 5/9/14.” Good luck, Kirk!

Zappolo, Adams hired by 9News

Speaking of 9News, the news ratings leader has hired former Fox 31 news anchor Ron Zappolo and ex-Rocky Mountain News sports columnist Sam Adams for an “experiment” in a segment of its newscast, The Denver Post reported. Zappolo retired a year ago after five years in the anchor chair at Fox 31 and stints as a sports anchor for KCNC-Channel 4 and then 9News. According to The Post story, Zappolo and Adams (now a comedian who has worked for several Denver TV stations) will talk sports within the weekend newscast.

‘Spamalot’ is welcome bit of silliness on stage Monty Python play is a definite audience-pleaser By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com It takes place in medieval England and here — A.D. 932 and now. Many in the opening night audience knew almost every move in the Aurora Fox staging of “Monty Python’s Spamalot” — singing along on “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” and other songs by Eric Idle, the former Monty Python member who wrote the book and lyrics and collaborated on the music with John Du Prez. They also started to laugh before the first pronouncement from the stilt-walking Knight of Ni and were appro-

priately bedazzled by the wonderful Sarah Rex as Lady of the Lake. They were ready for killer rabbits and flying cows and the “bring out your dead” scene (“I’m Not Dead Yet”) — and impressed that the Black Knight bit was pulled off successfully. The wise-head French guard brought another round of laughter as skilled director/choreographer Piper Lindsay Arpan’s experience with the show brought it all together. (She performed in it on Broadway and in the national touring show.) Throughout, the cast performed with tongue firmly in cheek in this charming spoof of the King Arthur legend — including the apparently clueless king, played by mellow-voiced Stephen Day.

Show marks photo business anniversary Littletown Building atrium to be site of Marquez exhibit By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com In November 1992, photographer Andy Marquez and his wife, Teresa, opened their first gallery in downtown Littleton. With the exception of a few short years, he has been in the fine art photography business in Littleton since. On May 2 and 3, Marquez will have an exhibit of images shot through those years in the atrium of the Main Street Littletown Building, where his current gallery is located. It was first built as an automobile showroom by local businessman/civic leader Ivy Hunt in the 1930s. The light-filled atrium was added when the second two stories were built on in the1980s. Marquez traces his art show beginnings to a Texas flea market in May 1984 — the

Marquez is now occupied teaching workshops, which have been held in city and mountain locations; running photo contests; and continuing to produce new images of nearby subjects.

“When Dreams Take Shape” is one of photographer Andy Marquez’ most significant images. It was shot in Prague, his all-time favorite city. Courtesy photo

One-woman exhibit has ‘Crossings’ theme IF YOU GO

Duzan’s art on display at Town Hall center

“Crossings,” Betsy Duzan’s one-woman exhibit in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton, will hang through May 14. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances. (“Spring Awakening” is playing now.) 303-794-2787.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Artist Betsy Duzan writes about her exhibit, “Crossings,” in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center: “My recent work features vast skies and figures on bridges and paths. “The powerful skies and bridges evoke a sense of dominance over the individual or landscape, contrasting the permanent and temporary.” The people crossing bridges — cyclists and walkers — could be either male or female, with head encased in a helmet and a simple jacket. The viewer would be encouraged to make up his or her own story about them. Her artwork, executed in acrylic and oil, is mostly painted on rough-edged canvas, attached to a panel, but not stretched on a frame. These have a clear sheet of acrylic mounted over it in a uniform presentation, which gives a pleasing overall ordered effect to the exhibit. The more traditional landscapes are on stretched canvases with conventional frames. They are indeed characterized by wide-open skies, as she says.

Her palette is generally subtle and she is technically skilled — experience shows. There will be a meet-the-artist reception at Town Hall from 4 to 7 p.m. on May 3. Duzan has been teaching since 1998 and earned an MFA in painting from the Art Institute at Lesley University in Boston in 2010. She taught in the Douglas County School District in 2012-3013 and at Merryhill School in Highlands Ranch this year. Her BA degrees in art and elementary education are from the University of Northern Colorado, 1984, and her work has been shown in several local galleries as well as the Littleton “Own an Original,” Depot Art Center’s “All Colorado Show,” Lone Tree’s “Annual Art Exhibition,” Curtis Arts and Humanities Center’s “All Colorado Show,” the Denver “Plein Air Exhibit” and more. She is showing at the Leomyka Gallery in Leadville and the Courtyard Gallery in Buena Vista.

Pearl St. in Denver, members work long hours on site and at home, creating functional and decorative ceramic works that they sell at two annual shows at First Plymouth Congregational Church. They also have held workshops and contributed to nonprofit events through the years. A new project is collaboration with Denver’s South High School ceramics department in an ongoing partnership.

Graduation

Meanwhile, HB 12-1155 allows colleges and universities to decide for themselves how to provide remedial courses, though CDE still has to sign off on their plans. Some students will be allowed to take them at the same time as their regular course of study, allowing them to proceed toward graduation more quickly. Bruce Vandal, vice president of Complete College America, a national nonprofit that works with states to increase graduation numbers, said if a student hasn’t settled on a degree program by the end of the first year, he or she is less likely to graduate, so speeding up the process is one key to success. Another, he said, is to tailor classes to that degree program. “Not all students need to be taking college algebra,” he said. “Why are we asking students to take college algebra if we know that’s not the path they’re going to take?”

Continued from Page 1

Department of Education required highschoolers to spend a prescribed amount of time on various subjects in order to be “college ready.” “We said you had to take four years of math, but we didn’t say it had to be good math,” said Gianneschi. “It didn’t say you had to learn anything, it just said four years of seat time. … We overthought it.” So in 2008, legislation passed that changed the benchmarks regarding how competent students are in the subjects. Those changes take effect this fall, and Gianneschi said it will be a huge transition at the high-school level.

A COMMUNITY IN SHOCK Before touting Centennial’s recent successes, Mayor Cathy Noon took time to reflect on the tragedy of Dec. 13, the fatal shooting at Arapahoe High School. “This shocking act ultimately claimed the life of 17-year-old senior Claire Davis and shook our community to its core,” Noon said. “We all mourn for Claire, her family and friends, and continue to be deeply saddened by the trauma and loss of innocence the students, teachers, parents and administrators of Littleton Public Schools have endured. “We owe a heartfelt debt of gratitude to our first responders, AHS faculty and staff, and to the generous actions of nearby businesses who provided shelter and aid…We have strong ties to the neighborhoods we live in, the schools we attend, and the businesses we frequent. Never was that more evident than last December.”

city next month. Impending construction of the massive, mixed-use Jones District is another feather in the city’s cap. The 1.8 millionsquare-foot development north of IKEA Centennial, near I-25 is expected to be built out over 20 to 25 years and feature commercial, retail and residential components. “The Jones Company’s vision for this property looks very exciting,” Noon said. In order to facilitate the business boom in Centennial, the state’s 10th largest city with roughly 103,000 residents, officials have placed a premium on transportation projects. Perhaps the most notable of these projects is the one bringing improvements to the I-25 and Arapahoe Road interchange. “This complex project requires the involvement of many different agencies and (we) look forward to its completion in 2017,” Noon said. Improved transit will also help more people access one of the city’s crown jewels, Centennial Center Park, located a few

miles east of the I-25/Arapahoe Road interchange. The 11-acre park, which opened in 2012, is already becoming a regional attraction and is undergoing improvements, which are scheduled to be unveiled late this spring. “It’s not all about work in Centennial,” Noon said. “We are serious about our time outdoors as well.”

Coyote sightings worry residents Increase in activity reported along Jordan Road corridor By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A dramatic rise in coyote sightings on the northern edge of Parker has pet owners and parents on edge. Homeowners in the Southcreek, Cottonwood and Dove Ridge subdivisions have reported an increased presence of coyotes, and not just on vacant land. The wild canines have been found on porches and patios — one was even spotted sunning itself on someone’s lawn. Almost every resident living along undeveloped greenbelts near the Jordan Road corridor between E-470 and Broncos Parkway has a story, with more seemingly coming by the week. Much of the attention has focused on the brazen behavior recently displayed by the coyotes. Patty Kent, a resident of Dove Ridge and owner of two dogs, saw a coyote less than a month ago on the other side of a threefoot-high split rail fence separating her yard from open land. It “made a motion like it was going to leap the fence” while Kent screamed and threw anything she could get her hands on in the coyote’s direction. It was undeterred. “I almost lost my little dog,” she said. “That coyote was not afraid of anything.” With Kent’s 90-pound Labrador watching every move, the predator decided it wasn’t worth the risk and sauntered off. Jessica Drake, another resident of Dove Ridge, told a similar story. Winter was quiet, but coyotes have noticeably become more active with the warmer weather, she said. They are encroaching further than ever into populated neighborhoods off Chambers Road. “I was going for a run and went to get my headphones out of my car, and there

Coyotes, like this one photographed recently in Douglas County, are increasingly seen by residents this time of year. Courtesy photo was a coyote across the street wandering through the houses,” Drake said. “He didn’t run off when he saw me. He wasn’t even scared of me.” Kent said a neighbor lost a teacup Yorkie to a pack last year, and yet another resident, Sabrina Ruiz, recalled a story from three years ago in which an elderly woman’s terrier slipped under the fence and was immediately attacked in broad daylight by two coyotes hiding in the brush. Cindy Brennan, who has lived for 12 years in the Southcreek subdivision, which sits on the edge of unincorporated northern Douglas County’s border with Centennial, said she’s purchased several air horns to take along on jogs. Coyote sightings were rare for about two years during a construction project on the Cherry Creek Regional Trail, but have ramped up this

spring, she said. Some residents feel powerless to the situation, with animal control officers telling them there is “nothing they can do unless they attack a child,” Kent said. The Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife hopes it doesn’t come to that. Jennifer Churchill, a spokeswoman for the agency, said hazing the animals is the best way to keep them away from humans and pets. “If we tolerate them, they have no reason to leave,” she said. “We need to make sure people are claiming their space.” April and May are in the heart of pup season and coyotes are “more territorial than usual” this time of year, Churchill said. Coyotes are further emboldened by the lack of human activity in backyards during the winter months. Using pepper

spray, making loud noises and spraying water are good ways to scare coyotes that have become used to people. “This is the situation we’re running into and we may have to up the ante — throw rocks at them and be more obnoxious than just yelling,” Churchill said, adding she would use pots and pans or an air horn. “Most will scare easily, but if one is being aggressive, they should call us and report it.” The residents vocalizing their concerns said they understand that humans moved into the coyotes’ territory and that conflicts are likely to arise. They are simply hoping to spread awareness and educate homeowners on how to keep their families safe. Visit the www.cpw.state.co.us for more tips on how to deter coyotes.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 14, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You’re doing better on the flexibility issue, but you still need to loosen up a bit to show you can be less judgmental and more understanding about certain sensitive matters. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your personal aspect continues to dominate this week. But try to make time to deal with important career-linked matters as well. A change of plans might occur by the weekend. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Excuses are not really needed for much of the confusion occurring this week. However, explanations from all parties could help in working things out to everyone’s satisfaction.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) That surprising (but pleasant) recent turn of events continues to develop positive aspects. But be prepared for a bit of a jolt on another issue that needs attention. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Creating a fuss might bring you that attention you want. But are you prepared for all the explaining you’d have to do? Better to use more subtle ways to make your bid. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) With education continuing to be a strong factor this week, this could be the time to start learning some new skills that can later be applied to a bid for a potential career move. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You might do well to reconsider some of your current time priorities before you get so deeply involved in one project that you neglect meeting a deadline on another. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) With an important decision looming, you need to be careful about the information you’re getting. Half-truths are essentially useless. Get the full story before you act. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Find out what everyone’s role is expected to be before accepting that workplace proposal. Getting all the facts now could prevent serious problems later on. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A flexible position on a workplace matter could be the best course to follow during the next several days. A personal issue also benefits from an open-minded approach. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) involving too many people in your workplace problem can backfire. Remember: Allegiances can shift. Ask trusted colleagues for advice, but don’t ask them to take sides. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Before submitting your suggestions, take more time to sharpen the points you want to make.

BRUINS BLOW PAST WARRIORS

Cherry Creek capitalizes on the long ball to post league win By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ryan Robb, the second batter to the plate, got Cherry Creek off to a good start by hitting the first of his team’s five home runs as the Bruins posted a 14-2 win over Arapahoe in Centennial League baseball action. “The bats were hot today,” Bruin coach Marc Johnson said after the April 22 game. “We tied our season total in home runs today. We had five home runs in all of our games up to today and hit five homers today.” Arapahoe Coach Luke Muller said Cherry Creek deserved the credit because they hit the ball hard. “Our pitchers threw strikes but the pitches were up where the batters could hit them hard. I’m not making excuses but our park is small, the wind was blowing out and that could have helped a long fly over the fence,” he said. “You can battle back when you are a couple runs behind but we were down by 14 after two innings. Our kids kept working to try to score runs but that’s just too big a gap to overcome.” The loss drops the Warriors record to 12-3 overall and gives them their first league defeat. At 9-1 in Centennial League action, the Warriors still sit atop the standings with a one-game lead over Cherry Creek (11-4, 8-2). Arapahoe now travels to Eaglecrest April 26, returns home April 29 to play Overland and is on the road May 1 against Grandview. The Bruins are on the road April 26 at Mullen, then return home to play Cherokee Trail April 29 and Overland May 1. Arapahoe retired the first Bruin batter April 22, but then Robb hit his solo homer and two batters later, Matt Rindall hit a tworun shot to make the score 3-0.

When the Bruins came back up in the top of the second, they put the game quickly out of reach. Jack Gillett hit a two-run homer for his first of two shots on the inning. Gillett drove in three to cap the nine-run inning and give the Bruins the 12-0 lead. Parker Jax hit the last of the team’s five homers in the top of the third inning with a man on base, pushing the lead to 14-0. The Warriors found hits hard to come by as Bruin hurler Justin Jeronimus threw four scoreless innings. Jeronimus gave up just two hits and struck out five before being relieved by Blake Goldsberry in the fifth. “My fastball was working well for me today,” Jeronimus said. “I was able to locate my pitches and (they were) tailing away from the batters near the plate. I just threw strikes. I had good defense behind me and we got the win which is a big one for us.” Detek Troeger took over on the mound for the Warriors in the third inning after the Bruins chased both Ryan Kearney and CJ Bossart. Troeger held the Bruins to four hits and no runs the rest of the way with his side-arm pitches that moved all over the strike zone. Arapahoe managed to finally get on the scoreboard in the final inning, tagging Goldsberry for a pair of runs. The Warriors loaded the bases with two singles and a hit batter Then Ted Ramirez blasted a two-run double for the team’s only runs on the afternoon. The Warriors loaded the bases again but the Bruins recorded the final two outs to ice the win. “This was a good game for us and put us in a better spot in the league standings,” Johnson said. “We split the two games we played with Arapahoe and if we win our final three games, we are second in the league and in the playoffs.” In the other dugout, Muller said it was just one of those days. “Even with the loss we are still in first place,” he said. “We’ll just put today’s game behind us and focus on winning the final four games of the season. We are league champs if we win those final regular season games. We are pretty healthy and we’ll just keep working and then see what we can do in the playoffs.”

Arapahoe catcher Griffin Johnson keeps a ball in the dirt in front of him to keep a runner from advancing during the team’s April 22 game against Cherry Cerrk. No runner moved up on this play but the Bruins scored early and often as they went on to win, 14-2.

Cherry Creek’s Jack Gillett trots home after hitting his second home run in the second inning April 22. Gillett drove in five runs and three teammates also homered as the Bruins won the Centennial League game, 14-2.

Arapahoe High School’s highly successful boys basketball coach, Dan Snyder, is looking for a new challenge. Snyder is leaving Arapahoe and has been named the new head basketball coach at Grandview High, located in southern Aurora. “I’m just looking for a new and different challenge,” said Snyder. “I’ve been real happy at Arapahoe, they have treated me wonderfully. That made it difficult to leave. We’ve been real successful at Arapahoe. “We all have different kinds of personalities. I’ve worked with a lot of people that get in a job and they are there for 20 to 25 years and are really happy with that. On the other hand, other people look for different adventures and different challenges. I kind of fit more in the second category.” Snyder takes over for Gary Childress, who resigned March 19 after going 216-165 as the Wolves’ only head coach. “I certainly would not have left Arapahoe for just any job,” added Snyder. “There is great opportunity and potential at Grandview. It’s a terrific school academically, it’s got great sports programs and it’s in an area that is growing quite a bit. Those are all optimal situations. “Now Grandview hasn’t been as successful as Arapahoe in basketball. I’m well aware of that. People have pointed that out to me multiple times in the last three or four days and I understand that. But I hope that I can go in there and get the program

up to the level that Arapahoe’s program is.” Snyder, who was an assistant coach at Heritage before moving to area rival Arapahoe, will be moving to another school in the Centennial League. Snyder “It is funny in that regard and it would probably be better if the schools weren’t in the same league,” said Snyder. “I used to coach at Heritage. I’m one of the few people that have coached at both Heritage and Arapahoe. When I first became the varsity coach at Arapahoe, I was coaching against varsity players at Heritage that I had coached at the JV level. That was a little bit awkward. “People understand. Arapahoe and Grandview aren’t quite the rivals that Heritage and Arapahoe are. We’re in the same league so there is no change in understanding who the opponents are. The people at Arapahoe and I have kind of chuckled about that.” In eight years at Arapahoe, Snyder compiled a 165-43 record and in the past six seasons, the Warriors have won three league titles, made six consecutive Great 8 appearances and advanced to the state finals once but lost the 2012 game to Chaparral on a last-second shot. “In the four years combined before we got to Arapahoe, they had an under .500 record,” said Snyder. “In the eight years I was at Arapahoe, our record was 165-43. That’s a pretty dramatic improvement, so we are leaving the program in an extremely strong position.” Arapahoe athletic director Steve Sisler has launched the search for Snyder’s successor.

Heritage tops Castle View on late corner Lions fight off late surge from Sabercats in key league game By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Shay Guetz’s goal on a corner kick provided the margin of victory as Heritage recorded a 2-1 win over a determined Castle View squad April 15. “For our young team to grind out a win in a league game is important,” Heritage coach Adam Buseck said. “I feel it helps up and sets us up to finish of the season.” Castle View Coach Perry Glantz said the game was a heartbreaker for his team. “It was a bit of a messy game for both teams tonight. They got a break on the corner kick and that was the difference,” Glantz said. “We will try to learn from this as we move on because we aren’t done yet.” Castle View, which bounced back by topping Chaparral in Continental League action April 17, 5-1, and beating Prairie View, 7-0, in non-league action April 19, entered the week at 6-3-1 overall and 3-3-1 in league play with the playoffs in sight.
