Opal Vollbaum had a memory of something. She remembered she grew up on a farm in Texas. On that farm, they grew corn, and there were horses, cows and pigs. More than 100 pigs, she said. Vollbaum remembered her dad took care of the pigs, her friends didn’t want to touch the pigs, and sometimes, she and her two sisters would chase them. Other times, she and her sisters got chased by the pigs. She lives at Highline Place in Littleton, an Anthem Memory Care community for people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Vollbaum can’t always remember a lot of things, but two special pot-bellied pigs, Pumba and Boris, help spark Voll-

baum’s memory of having fun on that farm in Texas. “Pumba and Boris like attention and they like people in particular,” pig owner Erin Brinkley-Burgardt said. “The biggest thing is they bring cheer to an atmosphere that can be a pretty dark place.” Pumba, a 10-month old male weighing about 40 pounds, and Boris, a fullgrown male at 1 ½ years old and about 55 pounds, are therapy pigs that live at Hog Haven Farm in Denver. BrinkleyBurgardt, whose grandfather had dementia when he died, volunteers her time to bring Pumba and Boris to Highline Place every Sunday. The pigs also have monthly therapy sessions at Wind Crest, a retirement community in Highlands Ranch, during the Intermissions Program, which is offered to Wind Crest residents living with some level of dementia. “The program is all about putting a smile on their faces,” said Kathy Krajecki,

Sitting in the back seat of a police cruiser eyeballing his officer’s french fries, Koda doesn’t look much like a four-legged use of force. But have no doubt, the 2-year-old German shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix will take you out should the need arise. “People love the dogs, but people have a miscon-

ception about the dogs,” said Joe Hanson. “They can be vicious, but they aren’t vicious. They are trained to be aggressive when they need to be.” Hanson and his wife, Sue, are heading up the effort to make the Littleton Police Department’s K9 unit self-sustainable. Members of the Littleton Police Citizens Academy Alumni Association, they formed a subgroup in 2013 called Friends of Littleton K9 thanks to a generous $12,000 donation from fellow LPCAAA member Sue Otto. “She was just really enamored with the dogs,” said Joe Hanson.

The search for a new Littleton Public Schools superintendent has been narrowed to four finalists. The names announced at the Feb. 26 Littleton Board of Education meeting are Amy Oaks, Littleton High School principal; Clay Abla, Littleton director of secondary education; Brian Ewert, Englewood Schools superintendent; and Jackie Kapushion, Mapleton Schools deputy superintendent. The candidates will be interviewed on March 14. Initial interviews will be conducted by two superintendent selection advisory committees made up of Littleton faculty, staff members and community residents. The boards will advise the Littleton Board of Education, which will conduct the final interviews. Plans are for the board to announce its selection shortly after the round of interviews. The school district is conducting the search for an individual who will fill the superintendent vacancy created by Scott Murphy’s decision to retire at the end of the school year. Murphy has been the superintendent since 2006.

Korean War vet’s body comes home Funeral March 7 for Floyd Jackson, who died in 1951 By Tom Munds

Honest Abe makes whistle stop at ACC By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com When President Abraham Lincoln walked into a journalism class at Arapahoe Community College last week, the students proved their mettle as reporters by asking the tough questions. An example from Geraldine Smith, “Are you going to the theater tonight?” To the president’s credit, he didn’t dodge the … question. The answer was no, but he’d been there before. “I was living Washington, D.C., off of Pennsylvania Avenue 10 years ago, and I’d be walking around the city, and people would stop in traffic and say, `Hey, Mr. President, how are you doing today?’ ” said Bruce Spear, breaking out of his alter ego. So Spear joined the Association of Lincoln Presenters, which has more than 150 members across the country, and transformed himself into the spitting image of

Honest Abe. But in reality, the only thing Spear is president of is Englewood Rotary. Back in character, Spear talked about how the press corps has changed from Lincoln’s days as president, from March 4, 1861 until that fateful evening in Ford’s Theater on April 15, 1865. He said Lincoln would hand out copies of his speeches to reporters and make sure to read them verbatim, in an effort to keep them from misquoting him. “But it’s amazing how the words weren’t changed, but the meaning was changed to reflect whatever position they wanted to take,” he said. Or they’d be discounted altogether, as in the The Harrisburg Patriot & Union’s comments on the Gettysburg Addresss: “We pass over the silly remarks of the President. For the credit of the nation, we are willing that the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them, and that they shall be no more repeated or thought of.” Bob Burdick, ACC journalism instructor and a retired newspaper editor, noted that technology has really returned the world to those days of “whistle-stop speeches,”

with politicians able to communicate directly with people without the filter of the press. “But today you can pick up a mic in New York and talk to people in San Francisco,” he said. “Back then, you could only talk to the 400 or 500 people who would crowd around you and hear your voice.” Spear said that while Lincoln was a proponent of free speech, he actually put a lot of people in jail for using words to try to “bring down the government.” Burdick said it was the equivalent of governments censoring people on matters of “national security.” Asked how the world might be different had John Wilkes Booth not assassinated Lincoln, Spear said he probably would have taken more steps toward equal rights for the slaves he freed. “If he had lived, I think he would have done a lot of different things with the black folks than he got a chance to,” he said. “I don’t think he would have been as famous in history if he had lived, but it probably would have been much better for the country.”

Journalism students pepper `president’ with questions

Army Sgt. Floyd Jackson — who was captured in a POW camp in 1951 — returns home on March 5 for a March 7 funeral at Olinger Chapel Hill Cemetery in Centennial. Many family members still live in Littleton and plan to attend Jackson’s burial with full military honors. The public is invited to attend the funeral that will begin at 10 a.m. Jackson was born in Missouri and came to Littleton with his family when he was a teenager. He attended Littleton High School,, and the district reported in the 1950s that he was the only Littleton student who died in the Korean War. The 19-year-old joined the Army in 1950. He was sent to Korea and assigned to the Third Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division, which was stationed near the Chosin Reservoir. He was among the soldiers captured in early December. He was taken to Prisoner of War Camp One on the Yalu River, where he died on Feb. 3, 1951. His remains were returned by the North Korean government along with the unidentified remains of about 500 soldiers. Joanna Mueller, the wife of Jackson’s grandnephew, was notified in January that the soldier’s remains had been identified and arraignments were made for the March 7 funeral.

Council OKs smaller multifamily lot size Move would let more own homes downtown, planner says By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton City Council on Feb. 17 dramatically reduced the minimum lot size for duplexes and triplexes built downtown, from 3,250 square feet to 575. Jan Dickinson, principal planner for the city, explained that some property owners are scraping single-family homes and building multifamily, only to discover that

zoning code didn’t allow them to sell the units as separate houses. They had to either sell them as condominiums, creating the expensive need to form a homeowners association, or rent them out. “We looked at this requirement and felt it was a little unreasonable,” said Dickinson. “There’s no more impact on density, and this would allow more home ownership downtown rather than rentals.” Five of the seven councilmembers agreed, with Peggy Cole and Jerry Valdes opposed. But Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman wondered why no members of the public showed up to oppose the plan, when

historically it’s one that’s generated controversy. “It may be logical or apparent, but certainly it’s emotional,” he said. Nothing else will change in the requirements. Heights are limited to 40 feet or three stories. Ten percent of the project must be open space, and there are no setback requirements. Councilmember Randy Stein held up the new duplex next door to Ned Kelly’s bar on Sycamore Street as an example. “These are the kind of edgy and innovative projects we’re trying to encourage,” he said.

Chad Vermeer of Vermeer Construction built the Sycamore duplex and is in the process of building a similar project across the street from it. Last month he demolished the 100-year-old house at 5645 S. Sycamore St., perhaps most known for a shooting death that occurred there in August 2011. He purchased it from Elton Winters, a former Lone Tree city councilmember, for $300,000 last September. Winters paid $85,000 for it in 1993. “It will be similar to the duplex, but maybe a little bit more traditional,” Vermeer said at the time. “Something that has good curb appeal, for sure.”

the intermissions coordinator at Wind Crest. “At least one smile a day.” People with a cognitive impairment need to stay engaged, she added. “The more often and longer they are alone,” Krajecki said, “the faster the disease takes over.” Plus, she said, everybody likes animals of some sort, and Pumba and Boris give the residents something to talk about. “They have a story they can share with each other at dinner.” Studies reveal pet therapy for people with cognitive impairments eases agitation, and after a therapy session, a person’s appetite increases, said Jodi Cornman, the community

relations director for Highline Place. But anything that reminds them of their childhood is good, she added. There is some stigma about pigs, BrinkleyBurgardt said, but pot-bellied pigs are bred differently than farm pigs. Pot-bellied pigs make good therapy pets because they are companion animals — they’re not aggressive, they’re very social and are domesticated so they are easily trained, Brinkley-Burgardt said. Pumba and Boris, in particular, love to snuggle and will do tricks for treats, she said. Sometimes people are a bit timid to pet or feed Pumba and Boris at first, BrinkleyBurgardt said, but before the hour-long visit is over, they always end up becoming friendly with the pigs. “The visits always end up being a positive experience,” Brinkley-Burgardt said. “I plan on continuing this work as long as I can with these two. I think it’s the highlight of their week.”

K9 Continued from Page 1

So far they’ve been able to purchase a $2,500 ballistic vest for Sabor, Koda’s K9 colleague, and K9 Castles for both dogs. “It’s a doghouse on steroids,” said Hanson. “It’s really kind of fancy, but we feel they need it.” Officer John Jones, Koda’s handler, agrees. “When I get in trouble with the wife, I can go sleep out there and be just as happy,” he said. Koda lives with Jones, his wife and 18-month-old daughter. “He wants to play with the baby, but she’s too little,” said Jones. “He’s a very, very social dog, but you don’t leave him alone with the kids, because you just never know.” The goal is to ultimately have four dogs, completely outfitted and cared for by Friends of Littleton K9, for around-the-clock coverage. Sabor has been on the job for seven years already, and Jones said most dogs retire before they’re 13, so he’ll need a replacement before too long. “If something happens to him, we’d have to wait for budget time,” said Jones. “We’re hoping Sabor has another four years, but he’s showing his hips are hurting every once in a while. He’s gotten hurt a couple of times jumping fences.” Koda has just been with LPD since January of last year, after completing TacDogs training, which uses a positive reinforcement approach. Basically, said Jones, Koda just thinks he’s looking for his toy whenever he’s training or even when they’re on a real call. “They associate it with just all fun,” he said.

How to help Two Littleton restaurants will donate a portion of proceeds to Friends of Littleton K9: • Romano’s Restaurant, 5666 S. Windermere St.: 11 a.m. to close, March 24 • Garlic Knot Restaurant, 1621 W. Canal Circle: 11 a.m. to close, April 15 For more information or to donate, visit www.lpcaaa.org, email media@ lpcaaa.org or call 303-734-8281. “It’s just a game to him. … But we do put the dogs through hell. They go through a lot of stuff you don’t want to put your family dog through, to show them what can happen in real life.” Sometimes real life can be really bad for a K9. Jones said that when they’re called out, it’s always “paws before boots.” “If the dog gets shot, the dog gets shot, but at least it’s not an officer,” said Jones. “But it sucks.” But the Friends group is on a mission to make sure Sabor and Koda stay as safe and comfortable as possible while protecting the citizens of Littleton. “It really is a challenge,” said Hanson. “We need to try to get the people in Littleton, the people our guys serve, engaged. … Living in a city with a low crime rate is good and bad. It’s hard to get people involved without a crisis or point of contention.”

Red-light camera ban passes first test By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

A ban on red-light cameras and speedvan enforcement passed its first test Feb. 25 in the Colorado General Assembly. But a long afternoon of testimony showed the topic is as divisive as ever. In Colorado, 12 cities use the traffic-enforcement cameras. State lawmakers have been debating red-light cameras for years, and the question pits lawmakers against police agencies that insist the cameras improve public safety. “What are we targeting here, public safety or another revenue source?” asked Rep. Dan Coram, R-Montrose. The question came after hours of testimony from police and pedestrian advocates asking lawmakers not to ban the cameras. “You can’t tell us to do something and then take away the tools to do it,” said Greenwood Village Police Cmdr. Dustin Varney. The cameras have been in question in the wake of recent audits questioning the value of red-light cameras. A 2011 Denver audit found the cameras of use mostly to

raise tax money for the city. Public officials have chafed at the suggestion that the cameras are just there to make money. Public dislike of the cameras doesn’t make them wrong, said Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey. “Shoplifters don’t like being caught either, but we’re not banning cameras in 7-Elevens,” Morrissey said. The measure passed the House Transportation & Energy Committee Feb. 25 on a vote of 8-5. But the bill now heads to the committee that killed a similar ban last year. A legislative analysis of the bill estimated that the cities would lose about $14 million in revenue from fines during the first year of a ban. Cities and counties oppose the bill. Colorado may be pre-empted by an act of Congress proposed by one of Colorado’s own. U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Lakewood has suggested a nationwide ban on automated red-light and radar speeding cameras for traffic enforcement purposes. “All of us are concerned with reducing accidents and reckless driving but it is not evident photo radar cameras improve highway safety, reduce accidents or improve traffic flow,” Perlmutter said in a statement. Introduced in February, Perlmutter’s proposal awaits a hearing.

Edwin Bemis autobiography goes online Publisher, prominent Littleton citizen wrote book in 1956 By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “With love to my children and my children’s children, Edwin Arnold Bemis” is written in his hand beneath a photograph on the opening page of a very special book that Bemis’ family has loaned to his namesake library in Littleton. It has been scanned and is available online at the library, according to deputy director Phyllis Larison. Written in 1956, it is one of two copies in existence — 250 pages, typed by the former owner of the Littleton Independent, who was a Littleton native and leading force in Colorado and national newspapers, as well as in his hometown. He has pasted in a number of photographs throughout. To view it online, go to www.littletongov. org. From there, go to the “Departments” tab and click on “Bemis Library.” Near the top of that page is a clickable link to the autobiography. Bemis’ modest introductory remarks end with the thought that what he accomplished “will have to be evaluated in the years to come.” He tells of his parents’ arrival in Littleton, a place his mother already knew and loved, in 1883, where his father, who knew farming, started a dairy farm, after shipping a carload of milking Jerseys from his home in Massachusetts. The first home was on a farm at the location of Valley Feed on Main Street and to the north down the hill. Luther, Edwin and Ella joined the family, and in 1890 the family farm moved to “Nob Hill,” east of the railroad tracks — at what is now Littleton Boulevard and Bemis Street. It looked pretty with orchards behind the house, he recalled. (That house is now the farmhouse at the Littleton Museum’s 1890s farm.) There were cattle, chickens and eventually racehorses and a livestock brokerage, he wrote. He explained about the book’s title, “I Took An Apple”: the family went to visit friends who offered him a bowl of fruit —

At the front of each volume of his autobiography, there is a portrait of Ed Bemis and a handwritten dedication to his family. Photo by Sonya Ellingboe a mix of apples and oranges. He felt that oranges were exotic and valuable and that he’d be selfish to take one, so he took an apple instead. He thought the incident affected future choices in his life. He wrote about childhood adventures — happy times for a small-town, well-loved child; the loss of a beloved dog; a lifelong interest in trains that started with watching the DRG&W pass by near his home. Music lessons, frog hunting, swimming … He learned to set type at the Littleton Independent office at age 11 and worked there off and on. “I have never forgotten the smell of the printing plant and the sounds of the press or the shooting stick when they were locking up the forms.” Type was handset and papers were run on an old Washington hand press. He also worked at the creamery and

eventually operated it while finishing high school. There were “no exceptional memories of school.” He played marbles and won frequently, limiting his losses to not more than five in a day. (He had a big jar of marbles to give to his grandchildren.) He played slide trombone in the town band, joined the Columbine Grange, bought a lot at what is now Woodlawn and started a Kodak shop, stationery store and bookstore in Littleton with sister Ella, selling the Woodlawn lot to finance it. He started shooting photos for customers. He met Katherine Prescott when he was asked to talk to the Littleton High class of 1910 and married her after her early attendance at the University of ColoradoBoulder. The couple lived on the West Coast briefly, then returned to Littleton, where he

worked in the county treasurer’s office and started to manage the Independent in 1916, soon becoming owner. In 1920, the Bemis House was moved to its present location and remodeled for the couple and for baby Edwin Jr., whose sister, Elizabeth Louise “Betty Lou,” joined them soon. In 1920, he attended the first Colorado Publishers meeting in Glenwood Springs and started on a lifelong path, firmed up further in 1922 when he became president of the Colorado Editorial Association. “It changed the course of my life.” He realized his penchant for organizing and gathered mayors, councils and town treasurers into what became the Colorado Municipal League. The business of the Colorado Editorial Association, with its job network, advertising, legislative concerns and informationsharing among members, became a longterm occupation for Bemis, with an office at CU-Boulder, combined with the newspaper ownership. By 1923, he started a national association. In 1926, he hired CU graduate Houstoun Waring, who was reporter, editor and eventually owner of the Independent, taking it to national fame. In 1945, the association was asked to leave CU and it was moved to the University of Denver. Bemis was traveling constantly across the country on national newspaper business. By 1950, the constant hard work was causing physical issues and his doctors ordered a long vacation and eventually retirement. By 1955, he was organizing the Littleton Historical Society and collecting artifacts, which were stored in a county building — a collection that went to the Littleton Historical Museum when it opened. Through his many busy years, he was involved with Littleton Rotary, serving as president and district governor, which accounts for an entire chapter in his book. It winds down with an account of a mountain cabin, miscellaneous memories and a chapter questioning religion. Fortunately, Bemis Library now has this account of a remarkable life recorded to share with area historians.

This is not your grandma’s League of Women Voters, say Marlu Burkamp, Jo Feder and Maggi Markey. They are three of the 103 members — three of whom are men — of what was the Arapahoe County unit. It recently expanded and is now the League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas counties. “Somebody started counting up how many Douglas County members there were, and it was 25 percent,” said Markey. “It just seemed logical to rebrand ourselves.” It’s not the first time the group has expanded its reach as the issues themselves become more regional. It started out as the Littleton League of Women Voters, but now it tackles topics like land use, education, urban renewal and fracking that affect the county and its neighbors. “Everything begins locally,” said Burkamp. “It behooves people to look at local politics and evaluate what’s going on.” The women stress that the LWV is a nonpartisan group that supports issues, not candidates, and only after careful study and general consensus. It’s perhaps best known for hosting balanced candidate and issue forums. In fact, the group recently canceled one for the special election in Littleton because one side backed out. They know sometimes the league is cast as left-leaning, but they say there are Democrats, Republicans and plenty of independents in their mix. “Most Republicans I know support these social issues, because they’re really not

HAVE A STORY IDEA?

Democrat or Republican issues, they’re women’s issues,” said Feder. The national league celebrated its 95th birthday on Valentine’s Day, born of the suffragette movement. “The founders said now that women have the right to vote, they’d better act intelligently, and they’d better get educated,” said Markey. Thanks to the success of the suffragettes, LVW has at times seen its numbers dwindle as women went off to work and their lives got busier. But many of today’s members originally joined during the feminist movement in the 1960s and ‘70s. “Back in the ‘60s, there were a lot of young women who had very good educations, and they needed something more than staying home with the children,” said Markey. “Studying the issues and being involved, I think, filled an intellectual need for them. I think many of those same people have had very successful careers, and now they’re coming back. They’re retired, but they still have energy and interest.” Indeed, all three are now retired. But Markey was an attorney and the first woman to be elected county commissioner in Boulder. Feder was in human relations, and Burkamp was a reporter who went on to be a marketing professional. While still very much committed to the league, they’re hoping a younger generation will step up to swell their ranks. “You do learn a lot, and it gives you an opportunity to interact with people who have similar issues,” said Markey. “When you try to research alone, you don’t have the benefit of highly intelligent people to bounce your ideas off of.” For more information, visit www. lwvarapahoedouglas.org or call 303-7302356.

e Drug incidents rise in Colorado schools Drug incidents in some Denver metro-area school districts

By Katie Kuntz

and Rocky Mountain PBS I-News 1916,

The first months of legal recreational maried to juana in Colorado saw a jump in drug policy r the violations in the state’s public schools, a Rocky ister, Mountain PBS I-News analysis of Department hem of Education data has found.

The biggest spike in violations came in the rado state’s middle schools, according to the analyrings sis. The first months of legal recreational mard up ijuana coincided with the winter and spring of dent the 2013-14 school year. n. “It “Middle-schoolers are most vulnerable to being confused about marijuana,” said izing Dr. Christian Thurstone, attending physician town for the Denver Health Adolescent Substance rado Abuse Treatment program. “They think, `Well, it’s legal so it must not be a problem.’” orial In many cases, marijuana is simply more ertisavailable to younger teens, officials say. tion“We have seen parents come in and say, ongce at `Oh that’s mine, they just took it out of my aper room,’ and that sort of thing,” said school reonal source officer Judy Lutkin of the Aurora Police Department. “Parents have it in their houses toun more often, and the kids just can take it from ven- home.” The hike in drug violations came as overng it all suspensions, expulsions and referrals to d to police for other transgressions decreased beersity tween the year of legalization and the previantly ous academic year, 2012-13. The I-News analysis found: aper • Middle schools had the highest percentwas age increase in drug violations, rising 24 pers or- cent in the school year ending last spring. This etire- led to a decade high of 951 drug incidents in middle schools. • Drug incidents reported by all public eton acts, schools hit a decade high last school year, g — a rising 7.4 percent to 5,377 incidents. There tori- are more drug violations in high schools, but those numbers stayed flat during the first year was of legalization. • Statewide, since medical marijuana ng as h ac- stores opened widely in 2010, drug incidents ok. It are the only major category of conduct violaoun- tions that rose in Colorado school districts, nd a according to the data.

s this Details hard to come by Still, it’s hard to discern the specific types d to of drugs involved in the increased number of reports, as statewide policies to measure and extrapolate teen use of marijuana and other drugs are often inconsistent and unreliable. In fact, the data collected by the Colorado Department of Education does not identify any specific drugs. Instead, this data lumps prescription drugs, heroin, cocaine and marijuana all into the same category of disciplinary cases. “I would say that at any given time, any day of the week, there are probably about 10 percent of kids in the high school that are under the influence of something,” said school resource officer Susan Condreay, of the Aurora Police Department. Marijuana is second only to alcohol in teen substance abuse, according to the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, an annual survey from the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment. “Alcohol is by far and away the most used substance by middle-schoolers, then it goes down for marijuana and tobacco is just below that,” said Dr. Thurstone. “Prescription drug use is number four, and it’s increasing, so that’s been an

Source: I-News research alarming increase, as well, that we need to pay attention to.” The Department of Education wants to address the lack of specificity in its drug reporting, according to Rep. Polly Lawrence, RRoxborough. She said she was asked to carry a bill that would require schools to be more transparent with their drug reporting, particularly about marijuana. “We are still continuing with stakeholder meetings, but I am hoping to have a bill drafted and ready to go (this month),” Lawrence said. “If we don’t start now, we are not going to have a baseline to compare to in the future.” She hopes that potential new requirements will not only show how legal marijuana is impacting students, but also provide more data on other potentially harmful drugs. “Colorado ranks I think second in prescription drug abuse in the country and that is something we need to keep a constant eye on,” Lawrence said. “And I think starting to monitor the marijuana use is very important so we need to make sure that we are collecting the best data we can.”

Prescription drugs abused

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health ranked Colorado as the second worst state in the country for prescription drug abuse in 2013. That year, 598 people of all ages in the state died from unintentional drug poisoning, according to the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health. That’s nearly four times the number of deaths that were caused by drunk driving during the same period. Still, marijuana remains a top priority for school resource officers and treatment providers, especially in middle schools. Denver Public Schools hired a district substance abuse treatment coordinator this school year, who will focus greater attention on middle schools. “According to our data, middle schools are where most people begin to experiment,” said John Simmons, DPS executive director of student services. “It’s much easier to stop someone from using in the first place than it is to stop it once it’s started.” The Denver district saw a 7 percent increase in drug incidents, from 452 in 2012-13 to 482 in the 2013-14 year. Simmons says that marijuana accounts for almost every drug incident. But legalization supporters point out that

kids aren’t coming in and buying from stores, and packages that leave the stores do not market to children. “We have gone above and beyond to make sure that we are not marketing to children,” said Meg Sanders, owner of MiNDFUL, a cannabis company that operates in several cities in Colorado. “We feel it’s our responsibility as a responsible business to card not just once but twice for any recreational customer, and medical patients have to show several documents before they can purchase marijuana.” Some say that legalization might help provide resources for addressing underage consumption of marijuana, using tax revenue generated through legal sales. “The fact is that we had a significant number using marijuana then and now (before and after legalization),” Simmons said of public schools in Denver. “We are hopeful that these changes will provide more resources.”

Some data not tracked

The Colorado General Assembly set aside

$2.5 million in grants for schools from marijuana tax revenue. As of November 2014, the Department of Education had awarded $975,000 to 11 districts to hire more health professionals to help address student behavior regarding marijuana, sometimes as an alternative to traditional punishments like expulsion or suspension. But alternative or non-punitive methods currently dealing with drug incidents by districts or individual schools are not tracked by state data. “We have a lot of different things that we will do for kids who have gotten involved in drug incidents in school,” said Kenlyn Newman, the student engagement initiatives director for Adams 12 Five Star School District. She says that different behaviors require different responses, and schools will try to intervene and work with parents to address inappropriate behaviors. Adams 12 schools are in five different municipalities, and each of those schools has different agreements with the local government. This means that police involvement can vary from school to school, with similar incidents being reported differently to the state. But the Department of Education has no means to measure these differences in reporting. “There is no manpower to audit the data; we can’t go back to the districts to check what they say,” said Annette Severson from the Colorado Department of Education. “We just have to trust that what they report to us is accurate and then they have to sign off and say that it is accurate.” Even as Colorado has been launched into the national spotlight as the first state to legalize and commercialize the sale of marijuana for adult use, the state has yet to begin collecting comprehensive and consistent data to describe how it is impacting Colorado’s teens. “I was against legalization,” said Doris Cooper, while waiting to pick up her seventhgrade granddaughter from North Middle School in Aurora. “If you legalize it, you know it’s just going to make them want to use it that much more, that’s what I figure.” Colorado Community Media brings you this report in partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS I-News.

Violence shows erratic nature of Alzheimer’s Death at Lakewood facility raises questions of competence

‘Different people react differently, and there’s always the potential for significant behavior issues up to and including violence.’

By Sadie Gurman Associated Press

Mental health experts say the case of an 87-year-old Alzheimer’s patient suspected of killing his roommate at an assisted living facility in Lakewood is rare and shows the difficulty of caring for those with the unpredictable disease, even for the specially trained. Homer Castor, who faces charges in the Feb. 21 beating death of Gerald Propp, 76, was known to be a challenge to staff at Atria Applewood in Lakewood because he would wander the facility at night. Just 10 days before the deadly beating, staff noted another interaction between the men that left Propp with scratches on his neck. Violence is rare among Alzheimer’s sufferers and can be difficult to predict, said Ruth Drew, director of family and information services for the Chicago-based Alzheimer’s Association. “If a person has not displayed these things before, it can be difficult. But you might have clues along the way,” she said. Castor told officers he thought Propp, a fellow Alzheimer’s patient, had tried to beat him up in the middle of the night and was pretend-

Randy Kuykendall, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment ing to be asleep when he assaulted him. Propp died late Monday. The same day, a judge ordered an evaluation of Castor’s mental competency. His attorney, Dave Thomas, did not immediately return a call seeking comment on the allegations. An aide who interacted with Castor described him to police as “never listening, hard hitting and did not make much sense,” according to his arrest affidavit. Propp’s wife told police that, during a recent visit, Castor said of Propp: “He makes me so mad I want to punch him,” according to the affidavit. But it was unclear whether she relayed that comment to the staff or whether it resulted in any action. Staff also noted in Castor’s file that he suffers from dementia and should be monitored because he wanders at night. Sometimes, he

would get up and get dressed, believing it was morning. An aide told police that she tried several times to get Castor to go to bed the night of the beating, but he kept wandering around the building, finally falling asleep on a couch in a common area. Once he was back in his own room, the aide said she checked on Castor twice between 12:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. and found both men sleeping, according to the affidavit. When she returned for a third check, she heard a voice yelling for help and found Propp badly bleeding. Neither man’s relatives immediately returned calls for comment. Atria Applewood issued a statement saying employees were saddened by the death and the facility is cooperating with investigators. “We are committed to taking all necessary steps to ensure that our residents continue

to feel safe and protected in our community,” the statement said. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment will conduct its own investigation of the facility’s policies and practices, as is standard after a death. The facility was timely in reporting the assault and has a “good compliance history,” said Randy Kuykendall, director of the agency’s health facilities and emergency medical services division. The department is responsible for licensing assisted living facilities. The department found Atria Applewood acted appropriately in other cases, including one a July 2012 case in which a woman in her 80s threw an object at another resident and a case last year in which a man in his 70s pushed a female resident in her 80s, causing her to fall. The facility has 130 beds and a 50-bed secured unit, which is reserved for people with problems such as dementia and other cognitive impairments, Kuykendall said. There are stringent requirements for assessing whether a resident should be placed in the unit, which is more restrictive, he said. It was not clear if Castor lived in the unit. Kuykendall said isolation is not typically a best practice in health care. “The resident is allowed to flourish to the degree that they can. But these kinds of diseases are highly individualized,” Kuykendall said. “Different people react differently, and there’s always the potential for significant behavior issues up to and including violence.”

Henry Stephen Weigel

September 14, 1919 – February 13, 2015

Henry S. Weigel soared into the heavens on his final flight on February 13, 2015 at age 95 years. He was born in Princeton, New Jersey on September 14, 1919 to Henry and Julia Lena Weigel. He attended Princeton NJ public schools and graduated from Princeton High School in 1937. He attained the rank of Eagle Scout in 1935. He worked for his father at the Princeton Dairy through high school and assisted in the processing, bottling and delivery of milk to Princeton customers. He attended Rutgers University in the summer of 1937 taking a course in dairy processing and manufacturing. However, he had a chance in the summer of 1935 to take a ride at the Mercer County airport from an exhibition pilot by carrying gas cans for refueling. His desire to fly simply grew year after year. In the fall of 1937, he decided to go to work for Luscombe Aircraft Corporation in West Trenton, NJ. He received his Airplane and Engine Maintenance Rating certificate in 1939. In 1940 he went to work for Cape Aircraft at Hatchville, MA County Airport as an aircraft mechanic. Henry enlisted in the U.S. Army on December 15, 1941 in Boston, MA. He applied for and was accepted into the Army Air Corps and was assigned as an aviation trainee cadet in January, 1942. He completed preflight, primary, basic, advanced and B-17 Transition schools in Maxwell Airfield in Montgomery, AL; Bainbridge Airfield, Decatur, GA; Blytheville Airfield, Blytheville, AR; Kaye Airfield in Columbus, MS; Hendricks Field in Sebring, FL and Randolph Airfield near San Antonio, TX. In Feb. 1943, he was assigned to four-engine B-17 and B-24 bomber training and was stationed at Gowen Field, Boise, Idaho but in

April, 1943 he was transferred to Wendover Army Air Field in Utah. At Gowen Field, he was assigned to a 10-man crew to train for assignment to England but before he could complete training, he was assigned to Wendover Air Field as a Maintenance Test Pilot as part of field operations. In December, 1943 he and his maintenance test crew were assigned to the 399th Bomber Operations Group, 607th Squadron at March Air Field near Riverside, Calif. He served as a B-24 Instructor Pilot, Flight Test Maintenance Officer, Test Pilot, Test Flight Engineer and directed the flight testing of all repaired aircraft at March Field including not only B-17 and B-24 aircraft but also the B-18, B-25, B-26, P38, P39, P40, P47, P63, C45, C47. He flew many of the repaired and re-fitted fighters and bombers before they were released back to their respective units. Also at March Air Field, he met and married Violet Griffith on June 23, 1945 in Riverside, CA. Vi worked in March Field Air Operations. They were married for 59 years. In March, 1946 he became a co-pilot for Penn Central Airlines in Washington, D.C. Penn Central merged into Capitol Airlines by 1950. Capitol Airlines then merged into United Airlines in the early 1960’s. He flew east coast routes with Penn Central, Capitol and United Airlines primarily out of National Airport (now Reagan National) in Washington, D.C. In 1968, he was transferred to Denver, CO and became Manager of Flight Standards for United Airlines. Henry flew commercial aircraft for 34 years and retired in 1979. He flew many different

types of commercial aircraft. His last plane was the DC-10. He and family lived in Alexandria, VA while flying out of National Airport. They were active in small sailboat racing on the Potomac River. They were active in Pohick Church in Lorton, VA. The family moved to Littleton, CO in 1968 when he was transferred to Stapleton Airport in Denver, CO. In 1996, he and Vi moved to Bartlesville, Oklahoma. They loved to travel, camping, boating and fishing. He was very active in the Oak Park United Methodist Church and in 2009 at the age of 90 he received the Pat McGarrity Award for Excellence in Volunteerism by City of Bartlesville Project Transformation. This award was given for helping young children in the 10-week summer reading program. Lastly, he was been able to drive, mow his yard and do car repairs until July, 2014. He is proceeded in death by his wife Vi, his oldest son Stephen Russel Weigel and oldest daughter Julie Kathleen Blackstone. He is survived by his sister, Barbara L. Weigel of Newport News, VA, son Bruce Weigel of Aurora, CO; daughter Sue Troeger of Centennial, CO and Barbara Kelley of Bartlesville, OK. He has seven grandchildren; Brandon Blackstone, Brie Blackstone, Capt. Shaun Kelley, Maggie Kelley, Andy Troeger, Grant Troeger and Travis Weigel. He has ten great-grandchildren.

Distillery pub guidelines pass House committee Craft brew, winery operations are model By Amy Woodward

awoodward @coloradocommunitymedia.com Restaurant distilleries could be a new business choice in Colorado after a bill defining guidelines for distillery pubs passed out of its first House committee last week. Sponsored by Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, with Senate co-sponsorship by Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, the bill was unanimously approved by lawmakers, which opens doors for the state’s 73 licensed distilleries. “The distillery pub bill allows someone that does not want to be a full-blown manufacturer to open a restaurant that has a small distillery as part of the operation,” said Stephen Gould, owner of Golden Moon Distillery. A distillery pub license, approved by the state and a local government, would be similar to a brewpub or winery license, where the establishment must serve food and wholesale sales are limited. Per the bill, licensed premises could not ferment or distill more than 2,700 liters or 300 cases per product per year on the premises, and the total limit on annual production of spirits would be 45,000 liters or 5,000 cases. “We just want to make sure we keep it small and local because that has been the model that’s made brew pubs so successful in Colorado,” Sen. Andy Kerr said. CB Potts and Ironworks are examples of popular brewpubs, similar to what House Bill 1204 would allow for distillers. The bill allows for recognition and opportunity for an industry that is normally in the shadows. “It puts the craft distilling industry more in line with what the craft brewing industry has been in Colorado,” said Sean Smiley, owner of State-38 Distilling in Golden. Smiley sits on the board of directors for the Colorado Distillers Guild, a trade organization whose members made several recommendations on the bill. “We’ve kind of been the stepchild in terms of alcohol manufacturing,” Smiley said. “But we’re growing in numbers and I feel like the distilling wave is kind of the second wave to the craft brew wave that came through.” Kevin Settles, owner of Bardenay, a restaurant distillery in Idaho, has been credited as the facilitator behind the bill. Settles did not comment by press time, but several sources have said that Settles is looking to expand his businesses from Idaho to Colorado.

Seek inspiration for motivation creation

ealth nvestices, y was good Motivation is one of those things that ndall,really has an impact on everyone, espeandcially those facing a lack of motivation. e de-And when I have this discussion with istedpeople and with organizations, I hear all kinds of responses and rationale for why woodsome people are extremely self-motivated udingor driven and how others just seem to be n herinspirationally challenged. and a Motivators, the motivated, and the shedunmotivated come in all shapes and sizes, o fall.from all walks of life, and from every age d se-category. Many companies I work with or withtalk with have expressed a challenge with ogni-motivating their millennial employees as e arewell as the people on their staff that are ethernearing retirement. The millennials don’t whichseem to be motivated by the same things that their managers, executives, or owners unit.are motivated by, and those looking down a bestthe corridor of retirement are no longer motivated by the projects, opportunities, o theand potential that once excited them years f dis-before. ndall All of us, regardless of our age or ocandcupation, have probably battled the lack nt be-of motivation or inspiration at some point e.” in our lives. Even the most optimistic and motivated people I know deal with setbacks such as financial issues, health crises, family situations, and work-related stress. And again, even the most inspired people can take a day off or maybe even a week or month away from their motivated lives. Now I can share with you that I have seen retirees and children of all ages and

people from every age group in between eventually find their source of inspiration, or recapture that motivated feeling. And in every case, not just some of the cases, but every single case, the person has agreed that regardless of everything else happening around them, their lives were happier and more productive. So what motivates you? Is it volunteering? Helping others achieve success? Skiing? Golfing? A healthy body? A devoted spiritual life? Your children? Your spouse? A new opportunity? Your business? Music? Your friends? Someone who has reached or achieved success? Your own goals and dreams? The sun? The snow? A smile? A hug? Something else? I am sure if we all gave some time to sit and think about what truly inspires us and pursued each with passion and commitment, that we would also enjoy our lives and feel more productive each and every day. So for the manager who struggles with managing the millennials on your staff, help them discover what motivates them. For parents who are seeing a child that is

less than motivated, challenge them a little to talk about what excites them, what they want to be, who their heroes are, and help them find that spark of inspiration. For those of you nearing retirement or already retired, remember what you enjoyed most about what you have accomplished and maybe find ways to inspire others or share your stories and best practices with those coming up behind you. As I write this column, hundreds of ideas are flooding my mind with ways that I can further motivate myself as well as things that I can still complete today that will give me a sense of satisfaction, gratitude, and achievement. I am motivated for sure. As a matter of fact, I will start writing the list of things that I will do today and this week and that will motivate me even more. And I encourage you to try the same exercise and see if you don’t find a little spark of inspiration along the way for yourself. How about you, how is your motivational level these days? Do you need a jump-start or are you flying high towards the achievement of your goals and dreams, feeling happy and productive each day? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we find our motivators in life, it really will be a better than good week.

Some who get in elevator deserve to get the shaft

If you had to get stuck in an elevator with someone, who would you want it to be or not to be? I wouldn’t want to get stuck in an elevator with that guy who sells OxiClean. Ree Drummond, “The Pioneer Woman.” I don’t think anyone wants to be around anyone who is grinning all of the time. Hear that, Joel Osteen? Gives me the creeps. Here’s the rest of my list: Nancy Grace. Brent Musburger. Guy Fieri. Fieri can’t even pronounce “Fieri.” I wouldn’t want to be in a stalled elevator with Suze Orman. She would look right though me and see my credit card debts. But I would finally get to ask her, “What’s up with the hair?” I couldn’t handle Roberto Benigni. After el a while, he would be hanging upside down. I would rather not be in the same time zone with Wayne LaPierre, much less an unmoving elevator. That “Nobody beats the King” kid. Shut hoice up and go to school. pubs “The View.” That would do me in. Lena Dunham. “Girls” is a lot like enate watching unattractive people doing launl was dry in their underwear. rs for Kanye West. Outside of his wife, who can stand him? Outside of him, who can want stand his wife? t has ould, Dinger. Dinger is an embarrassment to baseball. local On the other hand. ense, I would like to have some music, while

we were waiting for maintenance. The Everly Brothers. Wouldn’t that be something? “Love of my life, come close to me, say you will always be true.” If you have been following right along with me, you could probably guess a few of these: Groucho Marx, W.C. Fields and Steven Wright. Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain. Katharine Hepburn. Audrey Hepburn. Raymond Chandler. It’s going to get crowded in there, like the “Night at the Opera” stateroom scene. I would have Alfred Hitchcock tell his great elevator story, and ask him to time it so that it nearly ended when the doors opened. Hitchcock and a friend entered an elevator on the 25th floor of the St. Regis Hotel in New York in 1964. They rode in silence to the 19th floor, where three well-dressed people entered the elevator. Hitchcock then began to tell a story.

“Well. It was quite shocking, there was blood everywhere.” He developed the narrative on the way down, undoubtedly keeping track of the floors they were passing, until he almost but not quite finished the story. “Blood all around! Well, I looked at the poor fellow and I said, ‘Good God, man, what’s happened to you?’” When the elevator reached the lobby and the doors opened, Hitchcock said, “And do you know what he told me?” Then Hitchcock and his friend walked out, leaving the other three passengers in suspense. He had made up the whole thing. “That’s just my elevator story.” I wouldn’t mind suffering through our rescue with Grace Kelly nearby. It would be wonderful to finally meet Ogden Nash. “The trouble with a kitten is that eventually it becomes a cat.” Dorothy Parker. Parker Posey. Why not? Anita Ekberg. The “La Dolce Vita” Anita Ekberg. “My eyes are up here, Craig.” I’d kind of like to know what H.L. Mencken had to say. And there’s one more. I’d be very happy if Buddy Holly was on the elevator too, so I could say “Thank you.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Bringing balance to the fracking debate

al be- Following the collapse of the Don’t suc- Frack Denver campaign last week, Arapahoe County appears to be the next victim pubs,of the anti-fracking movement. Another group targeted us by releasing a map n in-aimed at scaring Arapahoe County residents into thinking drilling was arriving in whattheir backyard at any moment. Sean Despite the rumors, I know firsthand that local communities and their elected istill-leaders have an active voice in Coloveralrado’s oil and gas development process. We’ve had some level of drilling in Arapaanu- hoe County for 40 years. And when the and I Board of County Commissioners became o theaware of an increased interest four years ago, we tightened our existing rules. ry in Our County didn’t wait until it was too late. We took matters into our own hands urcesand crafted a Memorandum Of Underfromstanding so Arapahoe County, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission,

and the oil and gas industry could set the stage to allow responsible oil and gas development to occur on our terms. In doing so, we ensured development would occur in a manner that is workable (and efficient) for everyone. The MOU in Arapahoe County was an 18-month process of listening to our community, including environmental groups, neighborhood associations, citizens, businesses, and industry. To ensure safety was

our number one concern, we made certain our rules exceeded the regulations required by the state for drilling. We took the time to answer concerns and, at the end of a thorough process, the MOU passed with unanimous bipartisan support. The agreement we reached embodies the idea of balance. The COGCC monitors the drilling process, while Arapahoe County regulates activities that occur above the surface, like noise and wastewater storage. This understanding also keeps both the state and county from being spread too thin, without limiting energy production. In addition, Arapahoe County made an additional commitment to our citizens by hiring an oil and gas specialist. Businesses in every industry are looking for certainty. Because concerns are addressed and solved up front in the MOU Sharpe continues on Page 10

process, the companies interested in developing the energy beneath our feet can continue with short and longer term planning. That’s good for Arapahoe County, its residents and the industry. By no means are we overlooking the fact that this is an industrial process, but keep in mind many companies have an interest in going above and beyond our already stringent regulations. For example, consolidating equipment, centralizing operations, and utilizing underground pipelines to transport oil and water instead of relying on trucks will reduce traffic, noise and emissions. It’s smart business and better for our environment. With more than 110,000 Coloradans’ employment tied to oil and gas development, the benefits of responsible energy development certainly outweigh the impacts. Finally, let’s not forget about the 600,000 people who have ties to mineral rights in Colorado, some of whom live in Arapahoe County. In 2012, private land-

owners in Colorado collected an estimated $614 million in oil and gas royalties — keeping farms, ranches and families across the state afloat. The National Association of Royalty Owners estimates a ban on fracking in one Colorado county could cost taxpayers over $1 billion in compensation to mineral owners. I personally do not want that to happen to us. The well-being of citizens should be of paramount concern for any public official. This means working to ensure industrial practices are well-regulated, our environment protected, and at the same time making sure we have jobs and tax revenue to support crucial public services. As an elected official, mother and grandmother, it is disappointing to see agenda-driven organizations show up out of nowhere and misinform our residents. That’s certainly not how Colorado earned its collaborative reputation of reaching across party lines, listening to others and finding balance.

Changes made to apartment plans Alterations may help firm secure tax credits

‘I feel local businesses will benefit from more prospective customers in the area with money

to spend.’

Requirements for tax credits prompted a number of changes to the Broadway Lofts project, which fronts on Broadway and extends to the 3400 block of South Acoma Street in Englewood. “We applied unsuccessfully for tax credits through the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority,” said Troy Gladwell, representing developer Medici Communities. “The authority loved the project but we didn’t get the tax credits. But we did receive a number of suggested changes which we are now proposing as we prepare to again apply for tax credits.” Gladwell explained the changes and the reasons for them to the Englewood City Council during the Feb. 23 study session as Medici sought a letter from the city to the finance authority endorsing the project. Some councilmembers expressed displeasure about the fact that the units at Broadway Lofts will be considered afford-

Joe Jefferson, Englewood City Councilmember able housing. Councilmember Jill Wilson said she was concerned there were no market-rate apartments included in the project, and Councilmember Rick Gillit said he had similar concerns. But Councilmember Joe Jefferson said he felt the project would be a great gateway for future development connecting Englewood CityCenter and the Broadway business district. “I feel tax credits for the developer will help them offer lower rents to tenants,” said Jefferson, who represents the district that will include Broadway Lofts. “I feel local

businesses will benefit from more prospective customers in the area with money to spend.” At the end of the discussion, the council gave unanimous consensus approval for the city to endorse the new concept for the Broadway Lofts project. During his Feb. 23 presentation to the council, Gladwell said the two major changes to the proposal are the elimination of the parking garage, and making the project meet affordable housing rules by renting the apartments to people making 60 percent of the area’s average median income. “The parking garage would have been

expensive to build and would only receive limited use,” Gladwell said. “Also, moving the two apartment buildings to the south side of the site will create a sizable surface parking lot.” He said by adding up totals of parking spaces at the lot on Acoma, street parking along Acoma and other shared public parking areas, the project will provide spaces to park 218 cars, which is only 10 fewer spaces than originally planned. The other major change was designating the project as affordable housing. Gladwell said about 60 percent of the 111 units will have one bedroom and the remaining apartments will be two-bedroom units. “This is designed as housing for the people who work in Englewood. To obtain financing and affordable income tax credits, the units will be for tenants making 60 percent of the average median income,” Gladwell told the council. “That means tenants will be making between $32,000 and $46,000 a year. Plans are for the rent for a one-bedroom unit to be $863 and the rent for a two-bedroom unit to be $1,036.” He said he feels the rent structure will mean the Broadway Loft tenants will have disposable income that will hopefully be spent in Englewood stores.

FICKLE FEBRUARY

& Garden SPRING 2015

Littleton residents might have felt punished for enjoying a nice, warm beginning of the month, with snow falling nearly every day since Feb. 15. Temperatures ranged from a high of 72 degrees on Feb. 7 to a low of 4 degrees on Feb. 26, when the high was just 17 degrees. Street crews were out in full force, and kids bundled up and made their way to school despite the storms — Littleton Public Schools has not declared a snow day since April 9, 2013.

Governor: Oil, gas rules must protect mineral owners’ rights Hickenlooper supports task force’s recommendations By Dan Elliot

Associated Press Any attempt to give local governments more control over oil and gas drilling in Colorado must protect the rights of people who own underground mineral rights, Gov. John Hickenlooper said Feb. 27. Some people have owned or leased those rights for decades, long before Colorado’s growing cities spread onto land above rich oil and gas deposits, Hickenlooper said. “What right does government have to take that person’s lease away from them?” he said. “Through no fault of their own, the march of suburbanization, suddenly their lease is worth less than it was.” Surface owners’ property rights should also be protected, Hickenlooper said, adding that energy companies are required to pay for damage. Noise, dust and other effects should also be taken into account, he said. Asked if he would support stronger compensation rules for surface owners, the governor said he would want to see the specifics. “I certainly wouldn’t go there without having something in front of me and making sure it’s fair to all concerned,” he said. Hickenlooper spoke on the same day that his oil and gas task force submitted nine recommendations for easing tension created by the oil and gas industry in the state, often when wells

are drilled near homes and schools. Most Colorado wells use hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which pumps a high-pressure mix of water, sand and chemicals to break up underground formations and release oil and gas. Public concern about the health, safety and environmental effects has worsened the tensions. The task force suggested giving local governments a consulting role in the location of large oil and gas facilities, such as wells and storage tanks, in urban areas. But proposals to give cities and counties the power to make their own rules didn’t get the necessary two-thirds vote to become a recommendation. That brought criticism from many, including at least two people on the 21-member task force: co-chairwoman Gwen Lachelt and member Matt Sura. Hickenlooper said the criticism was unfair and that the panel made good progress toward easing the state’s conflicts. Other recommendations in the panel’s final report include expanding the staffs of state agencies that regulate oil and gas and monitor public health; creating an oil and gas information clearinghouse; studying ways to reduce heavy truck traffic to and from oilfield sites; and asking the Legislature to endorse new state rules on pollution. Hickenlooper said he would not tell the Legislature or regulators whether or not the recommendations should be enacted. But he said he supported them.

“I think all nine of them make a lot of sense,” he said. He defended the state’s health and safety protections and said Colorado’s oil and gas regulations are among the strongest in the nation. “Is it perfect? Are we done? No,” he said. “My guess is ... in the years to come we’ll have higher standards still.” Other states are struggling with how to regulate oil and gas as Hickenlooper fracking spreads. New York banned fracking last year, but Hickenlooper has said a ban wouldn’t work in Colorado because it would hurt a valuable industry and leave the state vulnerable to lawsuits alleging an improper “taking” of energy companies’ property. In New York, fracking would have occurred relatively close to aquifers, natural underground water reservoirs, Hickenlooper said. Fracking wells in Colorado are a mile away from aquifers, he said. There have been no instances where the fracking process itself has contaminated water, only cases in which the lining of a well has failed or when chemicals were spilled above ground, he said. The state has come down hard on energy companies for those kinds of incidents, Hickenlooper said.

Arraignment set for man charged in fatal crash Cale faces myriad charges, including vehicular homicide-DUI By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Austin Michael Cale, the man facing charges in the Aug. 22 fatal vehicle accident in Englewood, waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Feb. 18 and 18th Judicial District Magistrate John Scipone ordered him to return to court on March 30 for arraignment. The 26-year-old Highlands Ranch resident remains free after posting $50,000 bond.

The arraignment is a court appearance where the defendant is expected to enter a plea of guilty, not guilty or no contest. If the defendant enters a not guilty plea, the judge will set dates for filing motions and a trial date. Cale is on trial because he is accused of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs when he was Cale involved in the Aug. 22 fatal vehicle accident in the 5300 block of South Broadway. Police say Cale was driving the truck hit a sedan and pushed it into a third vehicle. The 87-year-old driver

of the sedan was declared dead at the scene. Two passengers in the sedan, a 60-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man were taken to Swedish Medical Center for treatment. The driver of the third vehicle was uninjured. Cale was suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and arrested at the scene of the accident. He now faces charges of vehicular homicide-DUI, a class 3 felony; vehicular homicide-reckless driving, a class 4 felony; two charges of vehicular assault-DUI, class four felonies; and two charges of vehicular assault-reckless driving, class 5 felonies; driving under the influence, a misdemeanor; and reckless driving, a class two misdemeanor traffic offense.

South Suburban seeks shared custody of Plum Valley Littleton City Council not so sure By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton City Council on Feb. 17 put off making a decision on whether to buck a longstanding tradition. At issue is whether to give South Suburban Parks and Recreation the east half of the Plum Valley property, six acres of open space southeast of County Line Road and Lucent Boulevard that the two entities purchased jointly in April 2012. “They put a whole lot of money into it, and they have no ownership value,” said Charlie Blosten, director of public works. “They gave us 50 percent of the money, but the whole property was deeded to the city.” Traditionally, the city has retained own-

ership of parks, trails and open space in the city and contracted with South Suburban to maintain them. “Just from a feeling of doing what’s right, I’m very hesitant to give property to South Suburban that’s in the city,” said Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman. “It has been a great relationship with who does what and why.” But during the same meeting, council voted unanimously to give SSPR the whole West Belleview Trailhead, southwest of Belleview Avenue and Santa Fe Drive. Plum Valley, which the June/July 2012 issue of the Littleton Report called one of the most beautiful pieces of land in the city, is another matter. It’s one of the last undeveloped properties adjacent to the High Line Canal and features a small pond, excellent views of McLellan Reservoir, a well and a corral. Blosten said there have been conversations about turning it into an equestrian park.

The land has a colorful history, as related in the June/July issue of the Littleton Report. Robert S. “Doc” Ohlson purchased the land in 1965, after the great flood of the South Platte River. He was a chiropractor who practiced alternative medicine before most people had even heard of it, and an active environmentalist who started several recycling centers in Littleton. Ohlson built a home on the land with lumber salvaged from the floodwaters, and raised four children there. The home is still on the property but is vacant and will eventually be removed, along with two other structures. Beckman is worried that transferring the east half of the site to SSPR might open it up to development somewhere down the line. But Blosten noted that the city would still control the zoning, and that access could only be attained through the west side, which the city will retain.

“That property was purchased with open-space funds,” said Councilmember Debbie Brinkman. “That’s open space.” The city bought the land with money granted from Arapahoe County that can only be used for open space. The High Line Canal Working Group and the Littleton Open Space Task Force supported the acquisition at the time, saying it would protect the canal from potential commercial or industrial use in the future. “At the time of purchase would have been a good time to say they wanted it, but the city had understood the property would be split,” said Mayor Phil Cernanec. But Brinkman wasn’t sure that was the case and asked that the matter be held over until March 3 so staff could research the original agreement between the city and SSPR. “This doesn’t sound like the closing I was at,” she said.

Marijuana proposal gets committee’s approval State bill covers gaps in current regulation By Amy Woodward awoodward @coloradocommunitymedia.com Medical marijuana growers and patients are inching closer to potential regulations. The Colorado Senate’s Health and Human Services Committee has unanimously passed a comprehensive bill concerning a variety of medical marijuana issues that are not regulated by the state’s revenue department. Under the bill by Sen. Irene Aguilar, DDenver, the Colorado medical board must adopt rules regarding guidelines for physicians who make medical marijuana recommendations for patients suffering from severe pain, the bill reads.

In addition, the bill would require the state health agency to adopt rules and guidelines for primary caregivers to give informed consent to patients that products may contain contaminants and that the THC levels are not verified. The bill highlights that all primary caregivers must register with the state health agency and the state medical marijuana licensing authority as well as allowing both agency and authority to share information to ensure a patient has only one caregiver. Finally, the bill permits money in the marijuana tax fund to be used for the application of any bills approved by the marijuana revenues interim committee. “The federal expectation is that states that have allowed marijuana to be legal, and local governments, will implement strong and an effective regulatory and enforcement systems that will protect public safety, public health and other law enforcement interests,” Aguilar said. “It (the bill)

was designed to focus on preventing inappropriate access to medical marijuana by focusing on appropriate physician recommendations for medical marijuana use and severe pain.” The bill diverts medical marijuana from poorly regulated caregivers and also provides a mechanism for law enforcement to differentiate legitimate from illegal cultivation and transportation in the state, Aguilar said. Opponents of the bill said the legislation allows for intrusion and poses constitutional issues where information gathered may be given to the federal government. “This bill, in my opinion, is based on a false premise, which is that essentially, patients and caregivers are criminals and tax evaders,” said Terri Robnett, founder of Cannabis Patients Alliance. “What this comes down to for us is whether or not we can trust that these are protections or these are opportunities for law enforcement in-

trusion.” However, Sens. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, and Beth Martinez Humenik, RThornton, argued the bill helps to protect constitutional rights afforded through the passing of Amendment 20 from those who are looking to unlawfully benefit from some of the gaps that are present with the medical marijuana industry in Colorado. “There’s a lot of gray area with this,” said Martinez Humenik. “I think when this was originally passed, it opened up Pandora’s box and this is a multi-faceted topic but I don’t think that the bill … the way it is written right now … is meant to take away the rights of people to get the medicinal marijuana … it’s just to make sure, to legitimize, those folks that are actually doing it the right way.” The bill moves to the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Denver Center chooses new president, CEO

“Evening in Lima” by Cecilia Broder won Best of Show, Color in the 2015 Eye of the Camera Exhibit at the Littleton Museum. Courtesy images

Photo sho w makes j u ror’s job difficult Eye of the Camera has long history in Littleton

Tavern adds new concept

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com With a crowded reception, the Littleton Fine Arts Board opened its 49th Annual Eye of the Camera Exhibition, a show that has grown in content and quality since the late Gene Kramer organized the first one — before the days of digital cameras. Kramer was art director for a large Denver firm and familiar with local photographers and the imaginative work they were creating then. Entries were open to all Colorado photographers, and the response for the show, held at Bemis Library, was strong from the start — although nothing resembling the 364 images submitted by 180 artists for the 2015 exhibit. Of those, juror John Sunderland — who said it was a really tough job — selected 54 images by 48 photographers. They are handsomely displayed at the Littleton Museum through March 29 and well worth several visits, whether the reader is a serious technique geek or simply looking for a really pleasing variety of images. Each one tells a story, and the imagination can wander off from there in many directions. One finds landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, animals, plants and abstracts — in color and in black and white — each sharing a very distinctive vision. Sunderland, formerly staff photographer and then director of photography for the Denver Post, covered a wide variety of assignments and coordinated coverage of Olympic Games, the pope’s Denver visit, the opening of Denver International Airport, the Summit of the Eight, 9/11, three Super Bowls and the 2008 Democratic National Convention ... He selected award winners for the Eye of the Camera exhibit, including Best of Show in Color: “Evening in Lima” by Littleton photographer Cecilia Broder. She wrote: “The photo was taken in the late afternoon as the sun was setting in a city of over 9 million population. We wanted to get away from the noise and traffic and had taken a walk in the park on the cliffs high above the Pacific Ocean in the

The Board of Trustees of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts has named Scott Shiller as its new president and chief executive officer. Daniel Ritchie, who has served as both CEO and chairman of the board of trustees since 2007, will continue as chairman. Shiller comes to the DCPA from the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, where he served as executive vice president since 2007. At the Arsht Center, he oversaw major programming and marketing initiatives, which in his first year, led to a $3.3 million turnaround with a growth in average ticket sales from 43 to 70 percent and a 76 percent increase in attendance. “The community’s appetite for and support of theater makes Denver audiences among the best in the country,” Shiller said. “I am extremely excited to be a part of, learn from and contribute to the DCPA’s next evolution as it connects artists and audiences together.” “Scott joins us at a pivotal time in the DCPA’s history,” Ritchie said. “Following an extensive analysis of our priorities, our emphasis will be on deepening and enriching relationships with our entire community. Scott’s leadership will enable me to focus on board matters and reauthorization of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District in 2016.”

“Abandoned” by Danny Lam won Best of Show, Color, in the 2015 Eye of the Camera Exhibit at the Littleton Museum. district of Miraflores. Looking up over a wall and into the distance, I saw a lighthouse. To photograph it, I was climbing around trying to get the best position when all of a sudden, the parasailors, who were between me and the lighthouse, began to take off on the hill above me. It was such a beautiful and peaceful view and the perfect way to end the day in Lima. With a little post processing, the image took on a life of its own and has become one of my favorite photographs.” The dramatic Best of Show in Black and White, the large format “Abandoned,” was shot in Utah. Photographer Danny Lam wrote: “I found this sculpture close to the Great Salt Lake and it looked like the middle of nowhere. With the help of my daughter Antonia, I created the image of an abandoned sculpture and abandoned kid. The perfect shadow and the beautiful cloud really enhanced the mood.” With a nod to traditional technique, Sunderland awarded a Best of Show/Darkroom to James Sidinger for “Winter Hillside and Approaching Fog,” a subtle and striking black-and-white image. Sidinger expressed gratitude that his category was still recognized in this show. Also awarded: First Place/Color went to

First Place/Black and White went to Jane Richards for her Asian “Fisherman and Cormorants” in a small boat. Second Place/Black and White was awarded to Carol Walker’s dramatic “Splash,” a horse racing through a spray of water towards the watcher — who probably had to jump out of the way quickly after shooting!

In January, The Tavern Hospitality Group quietly unveiled a new concept, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, at 2907 Huron St., a stone’s throw from Coors Field. With a nod to the area’s history, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot embraces the character of the historical industrial district that was centralized around a major railroad intersection, and has black-and-white photos of Denver in the 1930s. In keeping with the essence of the former bag factory, industrial materials such as concrete, steel and wood are incorporated into the building design. In addition to a street-side patio, a rooftop patio with community tables made from repurposed wood provides an expansive view of the city. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot features more than 90 whiskeys including Pappy Van Winkle, a whiskey that has a small production and can be hard to find. Cameron Rogers, regional manager, was able to collect the full Pappy Van Winkle lineup; however, with its rarity, it will only be available for a limited time. Rogers handpicked a Knob Creek 12-year single barrel whiskey on a visit to the Jim Beam distillery in Kentucky. It will be bottled exclusively for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and be available in the next few months. The menu features appetizers home such as pork wings, seared tuna tacos and glazed Brussels sprouts. For entrees, try the signature Foxtrot fried chicken or tender braised pot roast on a baguette. Hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Wesley Players ready to stage `Les Miserables’ Highlands Ranch church troupe raising funds for spiritual center By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com In Highlands Ranch, St. Luke’s Wesley Players, active since 2000, have raised nearly $250,000 for local and international organizations while giving community actors, singers and musicians opportunities to perform in classic musical entertainments. The 2015 choice, “Les Miserables,” is an international favorite, seen by more than 65 million people, according to the St. Luke’s publicist. With a memorable score, and uplifting story about Jean Valjean’s struggle for redemption, the musical provides a theme for Lenten worship: “When Tomorrow Comes,” which “highlights Victor Hugo’s theological themes of grace, sacrifice and hope in Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem, Calvary and Easter,” said James Ramsey, director of music and arts ministries at the church — who is directing this production with almost 60 in the cast. On Ash Wednesday, cast and chorus members performed a preview at the service. Readers will be familiar with Hugo’s 19th-century French story of Jean Valjean, released from unjust imprisonment for stealing a loaf of bread and pursued by police inspector Javert, who believes he is guilty. Valjean finds redemption and love, adopts a daughter, becomes involved with the Paris student uprising of 1832 and ultimately spares Javert’s life …

If you go “Les Miserables” performance dates at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, 8817 S. Broadway, Highlands Ranch, are March 13, 7 p.m.; March 14, 2 and 7 p.m.; March 15, 2 p.m. At 5:30 p.m. on March 14, there will be a dinner served that will benefit Guatemalan mission work. Tickets: Adults: $15 advance, $20 at the door; student/senior: $10 advance, $15 at the door; adult dinner plus admission, $45 ($35 tax deductible and front center seating); student/senior dinner plus admission, $15 ($5 tax deductible and front center seating). Purchase at: stlukeshr.com or in the Fellowship Hall on Saturday mornings. The score is stirring and familiar, as are the songs, with music by Claude-Michel Shonberg; French lyrics by Alan Boublil and Jean Mark Rald; English libretto by Hebert Kretzer. Ramsey said: “Epic, grand and uplifting, `Les Miserables’ packs an emotional wallop that has thrilled audiences all over the world. A spectacle on Broadway and in London, `Les Miserables’ is equally effective with a minimal set; it is its powerful affirmation of the human spirit that has made `Les Miserables’ a popular masterpiece.” Proceeds benefit St. Luke’s Center for Spiritual Engagement, a group that assists the development, coordination and implementation of events and experiences that promote spiritual health and wholeness.

Landscape photographer to share expertise Fourteener project took seven years to complete By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Landscape photographer Glenn Randall of Boulder will speak to the Englewood Camera Club members at their March 10 meeting, with a presentation called “Walk on the Wild Side.” His subject will be composing, shooting and stitching together single and multi-row panoramas. “Certain subjects just cry The Englewood Camera out to be photographed in a Club will meet at 7 panoramic format,” he writes. p.m. on March 10 at He will bring favorite imagthe Lutheran Church es from his “Sunrise From the of the Holy Spirit, 6400 S.

In the meantime, curious readers may enjoy exploring his website, which contains those images and many others. Getting a series of shots that will meld into a panorama offers some challenges. “The solution is to shoot a series of images, rotating the camera between shots so each frame overlaps the next, then stitching them together with software” he wrote. He will elaborate on March 10. The growing Englewood Camera Club, founded in 1952, invites visitors to its monthly meetings — and welcomes new members. Members range from seasoned veterans to hobbyists and people new to digital photography. Meetings are held year-round, on the second Tuesday of the month, at Centennial’s Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit, with December devoted to a holiday banquet with awards. Each meeting ends with a members’ photo contest, including color prints, mono prints and digital projected images, judged by the evening’s speaker. Sometimes, there is a theme and other nights, it’s open. (One subject this year will be Colfax Avenue.) Program chairman Steve Johnson says he tries to “mix it up a bit with wildlife photographers, landscape photographers, tour photographers and experts in editing digital photos.”

There will be a reception with the artists from 5 to 7 p.m. on March 18. The original artwork focuses on nature-inspired themes and “will help create an uplifting space that is restorative and calming for our patients, staff and visitors,” said Jude Keller, director of the Healing Arts Program. “We are committed to partnering with our community and pleased to feature hand-made pieces by local artists.” She noted that research consistently demonstrates the proven healing and restorative benefits of integrating arts into the hospital environment.

If the mark of a good con artist is that he or she makes you think you know exactly what’s going on — when of course you haven’t a clue — that’s also the mark of a good con-artist movie, isn’t it? To make you feel like you totally get what’s about to happen — “Oh yeah, I’ve seen this in tons of movies,” you think — and then, boom. That’s not what happens at all. See, you lost your focus for a second. “It’s about distraction,” explains Nicky, the con artist played by Will Smith in “Focus,” the consistently entertaining new film by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (“Crazy, Stupid, Love.”). And that’s what the filmmakers do to us, too — they distract us more than once by making us think we’re watching a predictable, even silly story. We’re lured into feeling smarter than the movie — until we’re not. Wow! How did we miss that? Of course, deft plot twists aren’t enough. A con-artist movie has to make you find something sympathetic in the artist. And here, the film centers on a romance, so we need to be able to invest in that as well. Luckily, Smith and relative newcomer Margot Robbie (“The Wolf of Wall Street”) generate believable heat together while also appealing to us individually, and so we care what happens to them — even as we keep changing our minds as to which one we should care about most. Smith’s Nicky and Robbie’s Jess meet cute in New York, where the gorgeous Jess is trying to escape from a creepy guy at the bar. They end up in Jess’ hotel room, where suddenly they’re caught in the act by Jess’ jealous, gun-toting “husband.” Only, Nicky figures out right away it’s a scam (“You should have waited until my pants were off,” he admonishes the amateur pair). Jess realizes she’s met a real pro. “Tutor me,” she pleads. We next find the two at a football championship in New Orleans, where Nicky and his crew are planning to scam as many fans as possible. Jess shows up, and wants in. In

About the Movie “Focus,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America “for language, some sexual content and brief violence.” Running time: 104 minutes. Three stars out of four.

an extended street pickpocketing sequence, she shows herself to have not just ambition and gumption, but also real talent. Everything goes swimmingly for the two — and they’re falling for each other, besides. But romance is a tricky thing when you’re a lifelong trickster. That becomes clear when, in one of the film’s most entertaining scenes, Nicky has to keep Jess in the dark as it appears that he’s totally self-destructing. You can’t show all your cards, even to the person you love. The person you MAYBE love, and who MAYBE loves you. Unless you’re playing them, or they’re playing you. The film’s second act jumps ahead three years and takes us to lovely Buenos Aires, where Nicky, having long ago lost track of Jess, is setting up his latest operation. And this one’s bigger than stealing a bunch of wallets. Nicky’s been hired by a car racing magnate, Garriga (Rodrigo Santoro) to help ensure a win for his team in a high-stakes championship. Despite the suspicions of Garriga’s heavily sarcastic henchman, Owens (an amusing Gerald McRaney), all begins according to plan, until Jess suddenly appears out of nowhere, walking down a staircase in a killer red dress and matching lips. Uh oh. Is Jess, as it appears, retired from the scamming life and living in luxury with Garriga? Or is she, too, up to something? Do Jess and Nicky still have it for each other? Or do we just think they do? As the plot twists and turns, it’s best to stop wondering who’s doing what to whom and just, er, focus on watching Smith, wily and vulnerable at the same time, match wits (and hearts?) with Robbie, who makes a case here for more leading-lady roles. It would be fun to watch these two together again. Maybe a sequel called “Re-focus”?

Eagles’ ice season ends

Regis knocks Heritage out of state ice hockey playoffs By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Regis bested Heritage 8-0 in a Feb. 27 first-round playoff loss that eliminated the Eagles from contention for the state ice hockey championship. “This was a tough one tonight,” Eagles coach Jeremy Sims said after the game. “We are a better team than we were on the ice tonight. I think part of it is we are a young team, and, at times we have shown up ready to play this season. We did it tonight. We didn’t come to the area ready to play our best hockey and Regis obviously did.” The loss means Heritage concludes the season with a 10-9 record. This is the second year they have made it into the state playoffs and the second year they have been eliminated in the first round. There are only two seniors on this year’s roster so the coach expects there will be a good group of returning lettermen next season, Sims said. “We close out this year with our ban-

quet,” Sims said. “Then we start planning for the summer program. We talk to the kids on this year’s team to see if they are committed to play with us in the summer league. We hope to build the fall program so the Eagles are ready to go into the high school season.” Heritage is a consolidated team like many league members. A consolidated team is a squad made up of players from schools throughout the district. For example, the Eagles roster is made up of players from the three district high schools. This season there were five players from Arapahoe, two players from Littleton and 16 from Heritage. The Eagles played well enough this season to earn a spot in the 16-team state ice hockey playoffs. Teams are seeded and the schedule had the Eagles playing undefeated Regis, the team ranked No. 1 in the state. Regis took control of the game early and scored three goals in the first period and went on to win the game, 8-0. The Regis attack was persistent as they took a total of 45 shots on goal; Heritage goalie Andrew Nash was able to catch or deflect 37 of the shots on the net. Hockey continues on Page 24

Heritage forward Charles Stewart (21) fires a shot at the Regis net as Alex Mingle (5) moves in to try to block the puck. Stewart was one of three Eagles to put a total of four shots on goal against a stingy defense that helped Regis win the game, 8-0.

Pirates optimistic about chances on diamond Englewood coach expects hitting, pitching to be team strengths By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The crack of a bat and the pop of a ball hitting a glove echoed off the walls as the late February snow forced the Englewood baseball team to practice in the field house. Pirate players warmed up together Feb. 26 before breaking into groups for position drills as well as taking batting practice. One big plus was the field house renovation included installation of a net batting cage that lowers down from the ceiling. Also, Home Depot donated wooden pitching mounds covered with artificial turf for the pitchers. “We are fortunate because we have great equipment to help us when we have to practice indoors,” Pirates coach T.J. Harris told the team. The short season gets underway quickly as, weather permitting, the Pirates are scheduled open the schedule at home March 9 against Fort Morgan and then travel to Fort

Morgan on March 11. Harris, the Pirates new head coach, said his goal is to begin to rebuilt Englewood’s rich baseball tradition starting with this season’s young Pirate team. As he worked with the players, the coach said last year’s team included 10 seniors who graduated in June so the Pirates will be a young team this season. “While we are a young team, I am encouraged by the enthusiasm of our players,” Harris said. “ I am also encouraged by the response as we have about 40 kids out for the team which is a lot more than last year.” The new indoor practice facility made it possible for the players to get in 2,000 swings before the official start of practice so hitting should be one of the Pirate team strength, the coach said. The wooden pitching mounds also enabled pitchers to work out before practice officially started Feb. 23. “We have some good young Englewood pitchers coming back plus we have several players move in from other schools who throw the ball well,” Harris said. “We should have a solid pitching staff with a lot of depth so our pitching should be lights out this year.” Sam Westra will do some pitching, he said, as well as move-in from Smoky Hill Nate Andrews, who throws hard. Izaiah Kovach is returning. He played right field last year and is bidding to be one of the starting outfielders this year. The talent of the players out for the team this season means it will be a tough battle to earn a spot on the 13-player varsity, the coach said.

Mason Stepanich, a returning letterman, wants to once again be the varsity starter behind the plate for the Pirates. “I love baseball and I love being a catcher because you are involved in every play, every game,” he said. “Catching is a hard position to play, physically and mentally. You have to be in good shape to play the position plus you have to know the signs when calling pitches and defensive alignments.” He is a much better catcher this year because, for the first time, the coaches direct drills to help him improve his techniques, he said. “I feel like I probably am five times a better catcher this season than I was last year,” he said. “Our head coach was a catcher, and he has helped me work on techniques like framing the plate and coming up to throw out a runner trying to steal a base.” This is the first season for Harris as head baseball coach. He is an assistant football coach plus he served as assistant baseball coach for seven seasons before being elevated to head coach this year. He grew up and played baseball in the Pittsburg, Pa., area and continued to play the sport when he attended Southeastern University in Lakeland, Fla. “I caught for my first two years in college, got married and switched to coaching the youth program,” he said. “We moved to Englewood seven years ago and continued coaching youth baseball. I served as baseball chairman for the Englewood Youth Sports Association and also became an assistant baseball coach for the Pirates.”

Hockey Continued from Page 23

“Regis is a very good hockey team. The guys have played together three or four years and it shows in the way they move the puck around the ice and the way they play tough defense,” Sims said. “We are striving to get to the level Regis is today.” The Feb. 27 game was the final high school hockey game for Nash. “I started playing hockey when I was three or four and I have always been a goalie,” the Heritage senior said after the game. “Being in the goal is my position. I have never wanted to play any other position.” He said Regis is a very good hockey team that constantly pressed the attack. “They moved the puck around well, and they had a player in front of the net

Heritage 62, Aurora Central 49 - The Eagles rode a 40-point second half to victory in their 5A State Tournament contest with the Trojans in the Feb. 25. The Eagles trailed by seven at the end of the first quarter but fought back in the second to take a one-point halftime lead. The offense found its rhythm in the second half outscoring the Trojans 40-28. Doherty 73, Arapahoe 55 - In a game that was delayed by an hour due to the weather, the Warriors only connected on four of their 22 3-point attempts in a first round loss in the 5A State Tournament on Feb. 25. While the Warriors struggled from the floor, the Spartans did not as Dalven Brushier and Tynan Velasquez filled up the scoring column with 23 and 20 points, respectively.

Heritage forward Nathan Compton (20) pushes the puck up the ice as teammate Troy Ciccarelli (7) moves up in support during the Feb. 27 state playoff game against Regis. The Eagles battled hard but Regis remained undefeated by winning, 8-0. to screen me so I couldn’t move in anticipation of where the shot was coming from,” he said. “A couple times I never saw the puck until it was already in the net.” Nash said the most challenging play for any goalie is a break-away. “When the other team has a breakaway, it usually is a one-on-one with the

guy with the puck and the goalie,” he said. “When I face a break away I try to anticipate where he will shoot the puck and try to move to cover that area.” The senior said he plans to go to college and would like to play collegiate hockey, but hasn’t decided where he will attend school after graduation in May.

Brushier scored 17 of his 23 points in the first half as the Spartans took a 28-23 lead in the locker room. Velasquez took over in the fourth quarter, pouring in 13 points in the final period to allow the Spartans to pull away for the win. Max Whitehead led the Warriors with 12 points and Brett Harmon added 11.

Cherry Creek 4, Lewis-Palmer 1 - The Bruins scored three times in the third period to break open their matchup with the Rangers in the first round of the state tournament on Feb. 27. Nick Chavez converted a power-play opportunity in the first period with assists from Blake Yount and James Shelton. Tim Keohane played the hero in the third period assisting Sean DeKramer’s opening goal of the period before extending the Bruin lead with an unassisted goal of his own. Pieter Gesink capped the scoring for the Bruins with an unassisted goal. Brady Mielnicki had a stellar performance in the net, stopping 25 of 26 shots. Regis Jesuit 8, Heritage 0 - Heritage could not stop the onslaught of shots from the Raiders in their matchup in the first round of the state tournament on Feb. 27. The Raiders racked up 45 shotson-goal compared to only four for the Eagles. Andre Dugas, Jack Kilkenny, and Cale Woodley each recorded two goals for the Raiders.

Ice Hockey

Cherry Creek 2, Ralston Valley 1 For the first time in three seasons, there will be a new State Champion in CHSAA Hockey as the two-time defending champion Mustangs fell to the Bruins in second round action on Feb. 28. Max Tennant and Jack Venuto scored first period goals for the Bruins, and Brady Mielnicki held the lead there stopping 26 shots over the first two periods. The Mustangs got a goal back at the 16:52 mark of the third period thanks Joe Millar’s even-strength unassisted goal. But, Mielnicki would withstand the Mustang onslaught finished with 41 saves in the win.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF FEB. 23, 2015

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Having second thoughts could be a good thing, even if you’re determined to go through with your plans. You might find it worthwhile to take a fresh look at how things have been set up. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Financial matters could continue to be a problem until you’re able to straighten out some of the more pesky situations. Once that happens, the rest should be easier to unsnarl. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Family matters once again take center stage, and should be dealt with competently and quickly. And, again, insist on others taking on their fair share of the responsibilities.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your creative pursuits seem to be running into a roadblock. But rather than blame outside factors, look within to see if you might be holding back your efforts for some reason. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Keep that keen Cat’s Eye focused on relevant aspects of this new situation in your life. Don’t be distracted by trivial matters. You need the pertinent facts before making a decision. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) As much as you prefer doing things on your own, continue to accept help if you still need to resolve the problem affecting your project. Some cheerful news is about to come your way. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) While you might begrudge the added time it will take to get your project from point A to B to C, etc., you could benefit from the facts that will emerge over this expanded time span. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Regarding your workplace suggestions, be prepared to produce the facts to counter reactions from skeptics who feel your approach is unreasonable or even impossible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Savvy Sagittarians will look for work-related answers on their own rather than rely on unproved assumptions. It might take more time to do so, but the payoff is worth it. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your aspects continue to favor family issues, with special emphasis this week on changes in and around your home. Get everyone to suggest what he or she would like to see done. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A matter you thought had been settled might still produce surprises. Best advice: Continue to gather facts to bolster your position just in case you need to produce them quickly. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) While your instincts are usually right when discerning ‘twixt truth and deception, you could benefit from doing more research on the new “prospect” that you’ve been pitched. BORN THIS WEEK: Your wisdom is only matched by your generosity, making you the sort of friend everyone hopes to have. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
