Public hearing delayed More resident comment sought on home-occupation rules By Tom Munds [email protected]

The Englewood City Council took the unusual action Feb. 3 of continuing the public hearing on the proposed amend-ments to the home occupations regula-tions, stating the decision was an effort to get more public comment on the issue.

The existing city regulations prohibit all home occupations in the R1A zones residential district. An issue about en-forcement of that regulation triggered the council’s May 2013 request for staff to work on the issue and seek to develop amendments that would permit some home occupations in the R1A zone with-out an impact on the character of the neighborhoods.

The staff recommended a number of amendments to the home occupation regulations. The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the issues at sev-eral meetings and only one resident tes-tifi ed at the commission’s Oct. 8 public hearing.

The continuing council discussion led to the proposal to adopt seven amend-ments to the regulations. Some of the issues proposed in the amendments in-cluded removal of the ban on home occu-pations in the R1A zone and eliminating the ban on more than one home occupa-tion in a home in any of the residential zones.

To preserve the character of the R1A zone, the proposed amendments would ban seeing customers in the home or put-ting up signs advertising the home oc-cupation. Another proposal would allow home occupations to be set up in struc-tures such as a garage or shed adjacent to the residence in all residential zones.

The council held the Feb. 3 public hearing on the amendments as sched-uled. Five residents spoke at the Feb. 3 public hearing. During council discus-sion when the public hearing was closed, Councilmember Linda Olson proposed continuing the hearing until the Feb. 18 meeting.

“We have two councilmembers ab-sent tonight and the detailed information about the amendments took a while to get posted on the web,” she said. “I recom-mend we continue the public hearing and urge residents interested in the issue to come and testify so we hear the opinions of the people about these amendments.”

Councilmember Steve Yates agreed.“I support continuing the public hear-

ing,” he said. “This is a very important is-sue and we need to hear comments from as many residents as possible. Then, we can use the testimony to properly craft these amendments.”

Special Olympians hoop it up Crowd cheers every play made during the basketball game By Tom Munds [email protected]

The Special Olympic ath-letes battled for rebounds and went to the fl oor to cap-ture loose balls during the South Suburban-Southsiders Feb. 5 basketball game at En-glewood High School.

Both teams draw players

who range in age from teens to individuals in their 30s and 40s who live in surrounding areas, including Littleton, Englewood, Centennial and Highlands Ranch.

In Special Olympics bas-ketball, the idea remained to put the ball into the basket but rules changed to accom-modate the needs of players. No one is called for traveling if he or she runs down the court holding the ball or if a wheelchair-bound player has the ball in his or her lap.

Scoring is a goal but there is a lot more emphasis on participating and having fun. For example, a player who might not normally get the basketball is given the ball and moved into the lane to take a shot. But, if he or she doesn’t’ get the ball through the hoop, the ball is returned to the shooter for a second shot whether the shooter’s teammate or a member of the other team gets the rebound.

Another difference is ev-eryone on the team gets equal time on the court as the entire lineup on the court is replaced halfway through each of the four quarters.

The crowd at the Feb. 5 game made up in enthusiasm what they lacked in numbers as everyone cheered loudly for every play made no mat-ter which team’s player made it.

“This (game) is a lot of fun. Basketball is a lot of

fun,” Shawneen Cooney, a Southside player, said dur-ing a break in the action. “I get to meet new people from other teams and I get to have fun with my teammates. I like to shoot the ball and it feels good, real good when the ball goes into the basket.”

Marilyn Jordan, mother of South Suburban player Michael Jordan, said her son loves basketball season.

“It is a physical and emo-tional outlet for him and he really looks forward to the games,” the Littleton resi-dent said as she watched the game. “He is very competi-tive and, as you see, he often ends up on the fl oor but that is how he plays.”

She said he became a Spe-cial Olympian after, as an 8-year-old, he underwent the fi rst of a series of opera-tions to remove a large brain tumor. His mother said other problems have developed but her son refuses to let them hamper him or keep him off the basketball court.

“The Special Olympic sports are wonderful for me too,” Marilyn said. “I love to watch him have fun out there on the court. I love to see him as he enjoys taking part in the competition. The sports are good for him and they are good for me.”

Sides gear up for fracking battle Fight expected over possible November ballot measure By Vic Vela [email protected]

With a ballot measure looming that could determine the future of hydraulic fracking in Colorado, oil and gas industry leaders are preparing for a battle unlike any they’ve fought before.

“We’ve got a serious fi ght on our hands in 2014,” said Tim Wrigley, president of the Western Energy Alliance.

Wrigley’s comments came during a Jan. 31 fracking forum in downtown Denver, where leaders from the oil and gas industry and other business groups converged.

The hour-long discussion focused on developing pro-industry voter outreach strategies in anticipation of a potential No-vember ballot initiative that is being driven by anti-fracking advocates.

Fracking is the mixing of water, sand and chemicals that are blasted deep into the surface to crack porous rock to free up blocked oil and gas. So far, fi ve Colorado cities and more than 100 municipalities across the nation have either placed bans or other limits on the practice.

The group behind the ballot proposal, the Colorado Community Rights Network, is the same organization that spearheaded last year’s successful ballot measure in La-fayette that banned any new oil and gas drilling there.

If it makes it on to the ballot, the pro-posal — which was fi led as a potential state constitutional amendment last month — would allow cities to block oil and gas development, as well as any other kind of business practice that could have harmful impacts on residents’ well-being.

Organizers have until August to collect 86,105 valid signatures for the proposal to make it on the November ballot.

Cliff Wilmeng of the Colorado Commu-nity Rights Network says the ballot pro-posal goes beyond allowing cities to ban fracking.

“Oil and gas isn’t even mentioned in the amendment,” he said. “The motivation is to ensure communities are able to exercise fundamental democratic rights and self determination.”

But the oil and gas industry knows ex-actly what the ballot proposal is all about — it’s a statewide effort that could have se-

rious repercussions for the fracking busi-ness, something that they believe is a criti-cally important industry practice.

“The ground has shifted forever un-der our feet,” said Wrigley. “All eyes of the country are on our state now.”

No easy answers Debate over fracking proves that there

are no easy answers when it comes to this highly polarizing issue.

Anti-fracking activists argue that it can have long-term effects on the environment and can cause drinking water contamina-tion.

Those who are adamantly opposed to fracking say that research into its effects on health has only begun to scratch the surface, as re-searchers con-tinue to learn new informa-tion about the practice.

For example, last week the University of Colorado released a study that indicates a higher percentage of birth defects among mothers who live near natural gas wells.

But supporters of the industry insist that the practice is a safe one and one that creates jobs. They also point to statistics that show that fracking has made the U.S. less reliant upon foreign oil.

“The facts are totally on our side,” said Tisha Schuller, president of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association.

Schuller also told the forum that oil and gas money is so important to the state that 8 percent of Colorado’s economy would be at risk if the ballot measure proves success-ful.

“It would be devastating,” she said. “It would take out Colorado’s economy imme-diately.”

But Wilmeng said that the oil and gas industry is being “short-sided” on this is-sue, ignoring environmental threats, while corporate CEO’s pad their wallets.

“If the oil and gas industry is so confi -dent in their longevity and popularity in the state, they should defer the decision making to the people of Colorado,” he said.

The politics of fracking Making the issue even more diffi cult are

the complicated politics that surround it.Yes, polls show that most fracking sup-

porters are Republicans and most who oppose the practice are Democrats. How-ever, Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat and a geologist by trade, is a supporter of fracking. Schuller of COGA is a Democrat as well.

Then there’s Fort Collins, located in Re-publican-leaning Larimer County, where voters last year put in place a fi ve-year moratorium on fracking.

Hickenlooper’s position on fracking has at times put him at odds with environ-mental advocates and members of his own party. He and his administration are co-plaintiffs in an oil and gas industry lawsuit against city of Longmont over its recent citizen-driven fracking ban. Hickenloop-er’s administration’s position is that state law supersedes municipalities on matters like these.

“The main frustration we have with Gov. Hickenlooper is that he has no respect for the fundamental right of democracy for the people of the state,” Wilmeng said.

The Legislature has also been criticized by anti-fracking advocates for not doing enough on the issue.

Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, said the Legislature has taken steps to address some of those concerns. She pointed to an increase in the number of well inspectors and said the state has set up infrared cameras meant to detect meth-ane near drill sites.

Carroll also mentioned a bill that is making its way through the Capitol that would require warnings on home purchase contracts, letting potential buyers know whether the land is on a split-estate prop-erty where drilling can occur. And she said that the Legislature could deal with local control issues as early as this session.

At the same time, Carroll acknowledged

the political realities associated with the fracking issue.

“There’s other things that, for some of us personally or for our districts, would like to see done,” she said. “But like every other bill, it’s a vote counting-process.

“Sometimes what’s popular or unpopu-lar with the public isn’t the same as what’s popular or unpopular with elected offi cials in the building,” she said. “I think this is a case where there is pent-up frustration for failing to see enough movement (at the Legislature) and I think it’s totally the pre-rogative of people at the local level to take issues into their own hands.”

In the meantime, the fi ght over fracking continues and both sides are in the process of mapping out their strategies.

Schuller urged fracking supporters to be sympathetic to the concerns of those who have doubts about the practice.

“My overwhelming message is not about necessarily getting the facts out alone, this is about an empathetic connection, build-ing trust for decades to come,” she said after last month’s forum. “Oil and gas has been here for 100 years and we’re going to be here for decades to come. How do we let people know that this has been done safely and effectively for communities for a very long time? That’s what we’re working on.”

Wilmeng hopes that voters across the state connect to same message that rallied Lafayette voters — that the “unaccount-able” oil and gas industry is engaging in a dangerous environmental practice that needs to be curbed.

“We look at this as a movement,” he said of allowing local “self-determination” on matters such as fracking. “What we’re con-sidering hasn’t been done in a very, very long time. There’s no question we’re mov-ing forward on this.”

Band fundraiser scheduled Money raised to be used to replace vandal-damaged instruments By Tom Munds [email protected]

Vandalism damage hit the Englewood High School Music Department hard so the band boosters plan a project to raise money that will be used to buy music and equipment that will strengthen the high school instrumental music program.

The Chipotle Mexican Grill on West Hampden Avenue hosts the fund-raiser from 4 to 8 p.m. Feb. 21. Customers can bring in the event fl ier or simply tell the cashier they are there for the fund-raiser so that 50 percent of the proceeds from fund-raiser customers will go to support the band program.

“The fi res the vandals set damaged sev-eral of the school’s percussion instruments. Two of our upright pianos were completely destroyed,” said Phil Emery, instrumental music director. “The school insurance may cover at least some instrument replace-ment. Some of those discussions are still going on. But, we already have received a new set of drums and they are very nice.”

He said the Feb. 21 booster club-spon-sored fundraiser will help strengthen the band program. He said his tentative plans are to use the money raised Feb. 21 to help him buy music for the marching band and some support equipment for the instru-mental music program at the school.

“We have had great support from our boosters and the community,” he said. “We appreciate everything everyone has done to help our program recover from the van-dalism and become even better.”

‘Oil and gas isn’t even mentioned in the amendment. � e motivation is to ensure communities are able

to exercise fundamental democratic rights and self determination.’

Officiating keeps McCaslin busyEnglewood native enters 44th year as sports officialBy Tom [email protected]

Richard Nixon was in the White House when Bob McCaslin began calling balls and strikes as a softball official.

“Sports have always been an important part of my life,” said the Englewood native, who grew up the oldest of five boys, play-ing sandlot, youth and high school sports.

McCaslin, a 1967 Englewood High School graduate, earned two associate de-grees from Arapahoe Community College as well as a bachelor’s degree in recreation and physical education from Metro State University.

Fresh out of college, he began to work for South Suburban Parks and Recreation, where he spent 16 years. It was during that same time he began officiating.

“In 1970, I looked for a part-time job as a way to better provide for my family,” he said. “Eventually, I took a friend’s sugges-tion and began officiating youth sports. I have been at it ever since.”

McCaslin eventually returned to school, earning a second bachelor’s degree from Metro State. This time he got his degree in psychology and elementary education.

“I spent quite a few years as a teacher

for special education students and I’m still working with students with special needs,” he said. “It is challenging and rewarding.”

In 2005, his friends urged him to run for Englewood City Council and he won the election. He ran again in 2009, and was re-elected to his second four-year term.

“I see it as a way to give back to my com-munity,” he says with a smile.

Yet, even with the time demands of teaching and city council, he continues to officiate youth and high school sports.

“In 1970, I started officiating youth baseball and recreational league fastpitch softball,” he said. “Then I started umpiring slowpitch softball games at the youth and high school levels. Since I was a wrestler in high school, I later took the classes and received the certification to officiate wres-tling matches. Experience is important for officials and, as you get more experienced, you get more calls for tournaments.

McCaslin has umpired at the Triple Crown Little League World Series tourna-ment in Steamboat Springs and also offi-ciated at 39 regional high school wrestling tournaments and 25 high school regional softball tournaments.

He said one of his biggest thrills came in 2004 when he was inducted into the Youth Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. as a youth baseball umpire.

“We went to Cooperstown, toured the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame and then went to our induction ceremonies,” he said. “It was moving and a very special

time for me.”McCaslin said he the calls to officiate

are frequent and, during the summer, he could be on a ball diamond every day of the week, but usually chooses to officiate only three or four times a week. Despite all the games and matches he has officiated, he said being a sports official remains spe-

cial.And McCaslin said he plans to continue

to officiate as long as his health allows.“I love being behind the plate or out on

the mat,” he said. “I have had a hip replace-ment but it hasn’t slowed me too much so, for now, I am still officiating and I hope to keep doing it for quite a few more years.”

Suicide prevention commission proposedState’s high suicide rate prompts action by legislatorsBy Vic [email protected]

Mountains and sunshine and healthy and active lifestyles aside, Colorado holds a dubious distinction that isn’t a part of the state’s tourism campaign.

Colorado ranks among the highest in the nation for suicides. In 2012, more Coloradans died as a result of taking their own lives than those who were killed in a car wreck. And suicide is the lead-ing cause of death among young persons between the ages of 10 and 34.

“Despite being one the most beautiful states in the country, we have one of the highest suicide rates in the country — and con-sistently,” said state Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton.

The question is why?Newell and Rep. Tracy Kraft-

Tharp, D-Arvada, are hoping that a bill they are co-sponsoring can help the state get to the bottom of that issue.

The two lawmakers are behind Senate Bill 88, which would cre-ate the Suicide Prevention Com-mission.

The commission would be made up of about 20 people who represent various sectors of soci-ety, including those with profes-sional backgrounds that are rel-evant to suicide prevention.

The commission would advise the current state Office of Suicide Prevention in developing priori-

ties and action plans having to do with curbing suicides. The com-mission would also make annual recommendations to the gover-nor’s office.

“We’re hoping that, with this commission, we will prioritize (suicide prevention) and bring this up as an issue that we need to address and not be silent on anymore,” Newell said.

Newell said that the staffing inside the Office of Suicide Pre-vention — which is made up of one person — is inadequate and needs more help.

“I’ve been asking for more resources for that office for two years and haven’t got it,” she said. “He’s been collecting data as much as possible but he doesn’t have time to analyze it.

Newell said much of the com-mission’s work will be to focus on figuring out why Colorado’s suicide rate is so high. Newell pointed to several possible prob-lem areas, such as the state’s large number of military veterans, the lack of access to mental health services in rural areas, and the Western U.S. culture of “rugged individualism,” one that doesn’t always translate to people seek-ing help.

Kraft-Tharp said that it’s par-ticularly disturbing to see young people committing suicide. She talked about the recent incident at Jefferson County’s Standley Lake High School, where a stu-dent doused himself with gaso-line before deliberately set him-self on fire.

“This happens in our own neighborhoods, right around the corner,” Kraft-Tharp said. “And we need to figure out why is af-

fects our state.”Susan Marine, a board mem-

ber of the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Colorado, testified before the Senate Health and Hu-man Services Committee on Feb. 6 in support of the bill. Marine’s two sons took their own lives, in-cluding one who was an assistant city attorney in Thornton.

“My passion of being an advo-cate stems from my own loss and my hope that I can spare other parents from tragedies,” Marine

told committee members.But Newell’s bill was met with

skepticism from Republicans who wondered why this effort needs to be supported with state dollars.

Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Ber-thoud, pointed to the bill’s fis-cal note, which indicates that the commission will come with an annual price tag of at least $80,000.

“It tells me that you want the government to run this,” Lund-

berg told Newell. “I think you’ll find that this is just the tip of the iceberg in the fiscal note on what resources will be required.”

And Sen. Larry Crowder, R-Alamosa, wondered whether he was being asked to support a bill that creates more government, but doesn’t produce results.

“Are we building a bureaucra-cy that creates an entity that has no action?” Crowder said.

The committee will vote on the bill at a future hearing.

Errors, Mistakes, Sins, Oversights, Transgressions, they come in all styles and variations. Most of us slip-up every day – sometimes in a small way, other times in a larger way. We try our hard-est to avoid big, life changing mistakes. When we do mess up, we’re often faced with the task of remedying the error. For-tunately most can be settled by straight-forward acknowledgment and apol-ogy. When authentically provided and gracefully accepted an apology can mean equally as much to the provider as to the receiver. Both are able to move on. More serious mistakes likely mean more effort to pay the debt, right the wrong or make amends. Hopefully we grow from all of our mistakes and become better people. We shouldn’t seek to avoid missteps however – they are how we grow, learn and get stronger. We should do our best to avoid lapses in judgment that either knowingly or unknowingly hurt others and when we do make them we should be our best to fix them.

We received an anonymous letter and $500 money order last week from the Greater Seattle area (and no, not regard-ing the Seahawks - more on that below).

The author reflected on his life as a boy growing up in South Metro Denver and expressed regret and disappointment over one of his youthful transgressions. This gentleman was seeking to make amends for taking small items from a local retail store, long since out of business, in order to impress his friends. For over 40 years he has remembered this mistake and wondered how to redeem himself. His letter, in part below, is noteworthy:

“I hope that when my life is done that I will have done more good than harm. I try each day to live my life to help others and improve myself. But the guilt associated with this behavior, and many other poor decisions, lingers as something unresolved. Now in my older age and reflecting on my life, I realize I am a different man than I was years ago, but my past still serves as a reminder of how far I have left to go. I cannot know how many people I have hurt over time, nor am I able to remember the names and faces of even those that I know I hurt. But I do remember the store and know I never made amends. I wish that little store were still open so I could make amends directly. Instead, I thought the organization that represents such stores might be my closest alternative. Enclosed is $500 which represents the value of the items plus interest, with a little bit more added in. I appreciate what you do for your community and for allowing me the opportunity to try and restore, to some small degree, a wrong I did to a member of your community.” Powerful words. Somewhere in Seattle

is a good man who is working to get bet-

Fund distribution approved Plan approved for remaining BID money disbursement By Tom Munds [email protected]

The Englewood City Council approved the plan Feb. 3 for returning a total of $63,383 to property owners in the Broad-way Business Improvement District, the amount remaining after city deductions.

Frank Gryglewicz, city fi nance director, said Feb. 5 he was beginning the process needed to return the funds.

“I will put out a notice to make sure any outstanding bills are submitted and paid,” he said. “Every property owner in the BID will get a check. The amount of a particular check will be based on the percentage of the total amount of BID assessments col-lected. I would guess it will take a month or so before the amounts are determined so the checks can be cut and mailed out.”

As part of the Feb. 3 meeting, the city

council fi nalized the action setting in mo-tion the process that will close out the ac-count containing money remaining from assessments levied on businesses in the now dissolved Broadway Business Im-provement District.

Gryglewicz briefed the council on the issue during the Feb. 3 meeting and he said the total BID funds remaining after bills paid was $141,385.

The council then approved a proposal for the city to retain $78,000 from the to-tal BID funds. The money the city retained was identifi ed as recovering the BID seed money of $30,000, setting aside $20,000 to fund holiday lighting along Broadway for the next two years and setting aside $28,000 for maintenance of the bike racks and planters for the next two years.

The council approved the proposal that would subtract the $78,000 from the BID total funds and the remaining money would then be returned to the owners of property in the BID.

Councilmember Linda Olson said the decision is the end of an organization

made up of people who didn’t work to-gether well. She said the distribution will make some owners happy to get some of their money back while some of the prop-erty owners will continue to maintain the money never should have been collected in the fi rst place.

During the discussion, Councilwoman Jill Wilson said in the BID there were a small group of individuals who worked together successfully to make improvements along the district stretch of South Broadway.

“I approve of setting aside some of the district money to maintain the projects the BID put in place,” she said.

Councilmember Steve Yates said he agreed with the distribution plan although he would have preferred to see more mon-

ey returned to the property owners.Mayor Randy Penn also agreed with the

distribution plan. He said he would like to see the city’s recovered $30,000 seed money used to improve the medians along Broadway.

In 2005, merchants along Broadway from Yale to U.S. Highway 285 voted to cre-ate the self-taxing business improvement district. The goal was to provide funds to improve Englewood’s South Broadway business district.

In 2013, a group of property owners successfully sought to dissolve the district. The dissolution was approved in July 2013. At that time, the remaining district physi-cal and fi nancial assets were transferred to the city.

opinions / yours and ours

Inspiration, hope for generations to comeA high school student kills a classmate.

Another sets himself on fire. Still another murders his mother.

Those things happened in Denver’s sub-urbs in a recent six-week span.

Across the country, media reports tell far and wide of teenagers doing something hor-ribly wrong.

But there are inspirational stories, too, stories of teen achievement, of overcom-ing obstacles. Typically, though, they don’t generate much media buzz outside of the immediate community.

Recently, one did.Bailey Roby is an 18-year-old varsity

basketball player for Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch. In late January, he found himself at the center of controversy because he runs the court on two prosthetic

legs.The Colorado High School Activities

Association made a mid-season ruling that Roby’s appearances in games compromised his and other players’ safety. For several days, it looked like the fan favorite’s playing career was over. Still, he was poised to be there for his teammates.

“Now, I just gotta sit on the bench and support (the team),” Roby said after the Jan. 24 game that, at the time, looked to be his

last. “The most important thing is being a part of the team.”

We were the first media outlet to report on Roby’s plight, but far from the last. The story was covered by most of Denver’s print and digital media but also was picked up by, among many others, “Good Morning Ameri-ca” and the British newspaper the Daily Mail. Facebook and Twitter were abuzz as social media campaigns ignited by Mountain Vista students and community members pushed to get Roby back in the game.

And that’s what happened. Upon further review, CHSAA decided Roby could play as long as both teams agreed to it.

The idea that Roby represented a safety risk confounded many.

“I don’t think Bailey is a hazard to anyone on the floor and certainly not to himself,”

said Roby’s father, Scott. “He’s been in hundreds of practices and he played junior varsity last year. If he falls down, he gets back up.”

Roby’s statistics certainly won’t draw all-state attention — he averages 1.4 points per game, with a season-high of 3, generally seeing action when the powerhouse Golden Eagles have a victory wrapped up. The state playoffs tip off in a couple of weeks and it’s likely Roby’s on-court role will become even smaller.

But he’ll be there if the team needs him. Just like his classmates and the community were there when he needed them.

Teamwork. Overcoming obstacles. Get-ting up when you get knocked down.

In the tower, looking down, looking back

Mick Jagger said, “Time waits for no one.” No, it doesn’t. I just turned around and I’m on Medicare. My only living rela-tive is my sister, Cindy. My college profes-sors are dropping one by one.

I was grading portfolios a week ago, it seems like. And now I have been retired for 11 years.

It’s kind of fascinating to be up in the tower like coach Bear Bryant, looking down and looking back on my life. Maybe you have done the same thing.

In the dream-like moments between wake and sleep, I reminisce about ex-girl-friends, my father, when I was a student. During one stretch I went to different schools four years in a row. One in Michi-gan, two in California, and one in Ohio.

There was a lot of moving going on, and a lot of readjustments that had to be made.

Everyone has had a handful of days that were important, that can make us sentimental or emotional when we think about them.

Graduation day, the day you met your future wife or husband, the day your child was born. The day you were hired or fired, divorced, or checked into rehab.

What if you didn’t go to that concert in the first place? You never would have met Vera, Chuck or Dave. If you skipped that surprise party, you might not have met Janalee, Andy or Thor.

I have questions that I want to ask my father, and I can’t. I want to know why we moved from Michigan to Pennsylva-nia and then back to Michigan. The only source of that information is deceased.

If you have some unanswered ques-tions, ask them now, because you never

know.My life really changed for the first

time on Aug. 8, 1963, when I was the only witness in one of Ohio’s most sensational crimes, the murder of a high school cheer-leader. It’s still around in my thoughts.

Ten years later, my life changed again. I vividly remember being introduced to the chair of the University of California, Santa Barbara, art department, and the moment he offered me my first teaching job.

I spent 13 hours one day in 1984, defending myself in front of a school com-mittee because a pathological student had convinced enough people that she was telling the truth when she claimed I had entered her home and written messages in lipstick on her bathroom mirror. Among other fun accusations.

It was the day the respect I had for my employer ended.

One evening in October 2011, I gave a painting demonstration at the Curtis Arts and Humanities Center in Greenwood Vil-lage. Who was the first one to show up? A woman with undecided blue eyes intro-duced herself. Jennifer.

Measuring success one inch at a timeOne of my favorite things about

writing this column is the interaction and communication with the commu-nity. I appreciate you all for the feed-back, recommendations, and support you have provided over the years.

Last week I received one of those communications I love so much via email. One of our local readers wanted to know why I haven’t been more dili-gent about following up on the pursuit of our goals and New Year’s Resolu-tions as I have in years past, especially right at the beginning of the year.

I am glad that some of you look for-ward to the challenges and prodding from yours truly when it comes to the pursuit of your goals and dreams. And the fact that you reach out and share those dreams means even more to me than you can imagine.

Well, let me ask you now that we are just a little more than a month into the New Year, how are you doing with your resolutions, goals and plans? Are you right where you thought you would be? Are you ahead of schedule? Or maybe you aren’t quite where you wanted to be or where you thought you might be by now. The good news is that we have only completed one-twelfth of the year.

Imagine the year as if you were looking at a 12-inch ruler with the month of January sitting on the one-inch mark. It’s easy to see or imagine that there is still so much more time ahead of us than there is behind us. So even if we haven’t gotten off to a super strong start yet, or we have realized that we still have more work to do, the balance of the year works in our favor.

Now, continue to use your imagi-nation. Think of each inch as the next month in the year and the space between each as a 30-day window. Get the visual in your head, maybe even transfer the image to paper or an elec-tronic document.

What are the things that need to happen in each month, each 30-day window that will help you with the achievement of your goals and dreams? You see we can’t measure

success if we do not know what it is we are measuring. What does success look like in February? What will it look like in March? And what does success mean along our individual ruler or path to success?

There is more good news. Suc-cess can come in all shapes and sizes and can be accomplished along any time line. There are immediate wins, near-term successes, mid-range ac-complishments, and the successful achievement of long-term goals. And there is even more good news. Success begets success. That’s right, the more we succeed, the more likely it is that success will follow us wherever we go.

How about you? Where are you in the pursuit of your goals and dreams? I am sure there are many of you who don’t need me to be your weekly reminder or coach when it comes to being driven to succeed. And I am sure there are many of you who have some-one or something that inspires and motivates you as you seek success.

My hope is that this week you will realize that there is still so much time left this year to set our goals and resolutions and just as much time to pursue and achieve our modest and even wildest dreams.

I would love to hear all about where you see yourself on the ruler and how you plan on pursuing personal success at [email protected]. Remember, when we identify what we want and plan for our own success, it will be a better than good week.

On the court, it was a challenging battle as both teams sought to put the ball in the basket. But there was always time to make sure every player got to take shots and hopefully to put the ball into the basket.

During the game, all the running and battling for the ball stopped for a minute so players like Beth Pasterkamp could shoot or so Emily Phipps could guide her motorized wheelchair into position while another player held a basket in place so she could roll the ball through the hoop.

Bob Kovacs was on hand to watch his son Alan play for the South Suburban team.

“Basketball is my son’s favorite sport. He attended a Nuggets camp for players today to learn from the pros,” Bob said. “The Nuggets are his favorite pro team and, for some reason, Duke is his favorite college team.”

Bob said watching his son play basket-ball is a blast for him. He said he enjoys not only watching his son play but watching the way his son helps teammates and play-ers on the other team.

“Alan has been playing Special Olym-pics basketball for about 15 years,” he said. “He loves the game and so do I. Alan likes to take three-point shots. He doesn’t hit a lot of them but, when he does, his smile lights up the room.”

The score didn’t seem important to players and fans but the Southsiders hit a late basket and won, 60-58.

Since the public hearing was contin-ued, there was a question about what to do if residents talked to individual coun-cilmembers about the issue.

“You can be sure people will want to talk to you about this issue,” City Attorney Dan Brotzman said. “Tell those residents that

they need to get their comments on the re-cord and urge them to come to the Feb. 18 meeting and testify at the public hearing.”

Mayor Randy Penn said residents need to know, if they talk to an individual coun-cilmember, their comments can’t be con-sidered. The charter requires the council only consider the sworn testimony record-ed at the public hearing.

When asked about the next public hear-ing, Brotzman told the council that resi-dents who testifi ed Feb. 3 can not testify again at the Feb. 18 public hearing.


Hearing

Our veterans deserve better from the VA Editor’s note: The following was written by U.S. Reps. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) and Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.)

It is time for the federal government to fulfi ll its promise to our nation’s veterans and get our VA hospitals built, on time and without excessive and avoidable cost over-runs. That’s why we are pushing bipartisan legislation to reform a broken bureaucratic system that has been harming our nation’s veterans and wasting precious taxpayer resources.

As a Republican from Colorado and a Democrat from Arizona, we stand united in our desire to see the Aurora VA hospital and others around the country completed. To do that, we need serious reform of how the VA manages the construction process.

Last year, the House Veterans’ Affairs Sub-committee for Oversight and Investigations (O&I) held a hearing entitled “VA Construc-tion Policy: Failed Plans Result in Plans That Fail.” Additionally, the full House Veterans Affairs Committee (HVAC) held a hearing on “Confronting Persistent Challenges in VA Major Construction and Lease Programs.”

The take-away from these hearings, which is self-evident from the titles, is that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) struggles signifi cantly with construction of healthcare facilities.

At a subcommittee hearing last year, the Government Accountability Offi ce (GAO) testifi ed that delays in hospital construction projects in Aurora, Orlando, Las Vegas, and New Orleans are, on average, 35 months be-hind schedule and $336 million over budget.

Those numbers are simply unacceptable, for both taxpayers and veterans in need of care.

As the chairman and a ranking member for O&I, we are disheartened by the fi ndings of our subcommittee’s investigations into these projects, detailing gross mismanage-ment in every aspect of major medical facil-ity construction, including design, opera-tions, change orders and payments to prime contractors and subcontractors.

At best, this pattern of mismanagement indicates utter incompetence. At worst, it shows complete disrespect to our nation’s veterans and to the American taxpayer by the VA’s Offi ce of Construction and Facilities Management.

We are committed to working with the VA to solve these problems because we should do everything in our power to help the VA provide veterans with quality care.

In fact, the Congress as a whole has made substantial efforts to increase funding for the VA and its programs despite being in a time of serious budget constraints. How-ever, the VA has not only squandered these taxpayer dollars but has also weakened the public’s trust in their ability to plan, budget,

manage and ultimately construct major medical facilities.

Veterans in Colorado, Louisiana, Florida, and Nevada have been waiting years for their facilities to be completed. The VA claims that the Aurora project will be com-pleted by April 2015 but all evidence points to that deadline being unrealistic. Addition-ally, the completion date for the project in Orlando was pushed back to December of 2014, making that project now two years behind schedule.

Unfortunately, even after numerous Congressional hearings and inquiries, the VA has done little to convince us they can meet any of their goals on time.

That is why we introduced legislation to help with the completion of the VA medical center in Aurora, as well as other projects. H.R. 3593, the VA Construction Assistance Act of 2013, will implement GAO recom-mended reforms such as assigning medi-cal equipment planners to major medical construction projects and streamlining the change-order process.

We go one step further by requiring that an emergency manager, referred to as a “special project manager” from the Army Corps of Engineers, independent of the VA, be appointed to provide oversight for each existing VA major medical facility project currently under construction in order to make sure that the GAO recommendations are fully implemented and to take any ad-ditional steps necessary to help reduce both the cost and the delays that have plagued these projects.

While this legislation was drafted and

introduced late last year, we delayed in bringing it up in order to see if conditions at the four VA hospital construction sites might improve. Unfortunately, there are no signifi -cant changes to warrant any further delays in moving forward with this proposal.

According to the GAO’s report dated March of 2013, the Army Corps of Engineers has institutional knowledge and expertise in construction and, unlike the VA, consistently completes similar projects for the Depart-ment of Defense on-budget and on-time. The USACE will also provide oversight for the House and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committees so that we in Congress can be apprised of their progress — or lack thereof — on these projects.

Although the VA does provide great over-all healthcare for our veterans, our tenor and posture will be to vigorously highlight that the VA needs a watchdog in order to success-fully complete its construction projects. This has been and will continue to be the focus of our Oversight and Investigation Subcom-mittee during the 113th Congress. Our work, along with H.R. 3593, will help to ensure the VA has proper oversight and expertise guid-ing the management and ultimate comple-tion of the Aurora VA Medical Center, as well as the other projects highlighted by the GAO.

Our veterans cannot simply hope the VA improves. Rather, we must take action to push these projects forward.

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman is the chairman of the House Veterans’ Subcommittee for Oversight and Investigations and U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpat-rick is the subcommittee’s ranking member.

E� ort to repeal gun measure rejected Bill targeted law requiring background checks By Vic Vela [email protected]

Another gun battle took center stage at the Capitol on Feb. 3, as a Senate commit-tee rejected a Republican effort to undo a key Democrat-backed gun measure from last year.

Testimony on a bill that sought to repeal a law that requires background checks on all gun sales and transfers in the state last-ed more than six hours before the Senate’s State, Veteran’s and Military Affairs Com-mittee killed the measure. The bill failed following a 3-2 party-line vote.

Democrats and other supporters of universal background checks say they are working and that the law has made it more diffi cult for guns to get into the wrong hands. But Sen. George Rivera, R-Pueblo, the repeal bill’s sponsor, argued that the new law would have done nothing to pre-vent recent mass shootings, such as the ones that occurred in 2012 inside an Au-rora theater and at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School.

“If people intend on doing something evil, they’re going to do it,” Rivera said. “That’s just a fact.”

Last year, Democrats succeeded in pass-ing bills that expanded gun background checks, and put in place a requirement that high-capacity ammunition magazines be limited to 15 rounds. Republicans are also trying to repeal the latter measure.

There was fallout as a result of those ef-forts as three Democratic senators either lost their seats or resigned as a result of gun vote-motivated recall elections. Rivera won his Senate seat last fall in a recall elec-tion over former Democratic Sen. Angela Giron, making him a rare Republican to represent Pueblo in the Senate.

“My constituents in Pueblo sent me here to give a message: They don’t like the gun laws,” Rivera said.

Rivera told the committee that he was not against background checks. His bill would have required only licensed gun dealers to conduct background checks, which had already been a part of state law prior to last year’s measure being enacted.

Rivera’s bill would have done away with the new requirement that background checks be conducted for private and on-line sales, and it would have gotten rid of the fees that individuals are required to pay for their background checks.

Several supporters of Rivera’s bill said that the new requirements are burden-some to law-abiding citizens.

“As long as Democrats are in offi ce they are going to be going after our Second Amendment Rights,” said Joe Neville of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners.

But supporters of the new background checks pointed to results. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation says that 104 people who tried buying guns last year failed background checks because they had criminal records. That’s a testament to the background checks law expansion, supporters said. And if even one of those background checks stops just one crimi-nal from getting their hands on a gun, the law is worth it, they said.

“The value of one life is worth the in-convenience of the others,” said Sen. Irene Aguilar, D-Denver.

Dave Hoover, a longtime police offi cer whose nephew, A.J. Boik, was killed in the Aurora theater shooting, was one of sever-al people to speak in opposition of Rivera’s repeal effort. Hoover said that Coloradans should do “anything we can do to prevent gun violence” and that he doesn’t want “anybody else to get that phone call,” which informed him that his nephew had been shot.

“It’s about accountability,” Hoover said. “It’s about holding gun holders responsible for what they do when they get rid of their fi rearms.”

Though emotional at times, the hear-ing lacked the intensity of last year’s gun bill committee hearings. In fact, Rivera and other Republican senators thanked Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, the committee chairman, for his handling of the hearing.

Still, Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, a committee member, said that Democrats who pushed for the gun laws still aren’t paying attention to voters who didn’t appreciate their efforts last year.

“You didn’t listen close enough because there are three senators who aren’t here,” Harvey said.

CRIME REPORT

Burglary suspect arrestedWhen Englewood police investigated

a report of a burglar alarm going off they saw a man running from the business and arrested him as a result of the investiga-tion.

The investigation began about 3 a.m. Feb. 6 at a business in the 2200 block of South Raritan Street.

As offi cers arrived, they reportedly saw a 28-year-old man running from the busi-ness. They stopped the man and accord-ing to the police report, he told offi cers he was running from an unknown person and he jumped the fence to get into the business to get away from the man chas-ing him.

However, an investigation report-edly indicated the man had jumped the fence and kicked in the front door of the business. Later, he apparently jumped from the second fl oor onto a vehicle and damaged it.

The man was arrested, processed and then transported to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Facility.

Robbery suspect caughtPolice offi cers were able to locate and

arrest a man who reportedly stole a num-ber of items from an Englewood business.

Offi cers went to a business in the 800 block of Englewood Parkway about 8:10 p.m. Feb. 7 to investigate why someone called 911 and then hung up.

According to the report, police offi cers

talked to the individual who called 911 who told them a man came into the store, assaulted the employee and stole several items.

Offi cers checked the surrounding area and, in the 600 block of Englewood Park-way, they located an 18-year-old man who was identifi ed as the suspect.

The man was arrested and taken to Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Offi ce Deten-tion Facility. He could face a variety of charges related to the assault and theft.

Felony menacing arrestEnglewood police arrested a man Feb.

7 who allegedly threatened another man with a knife.

Police went to the 600 block of Engle-wood Parkway about 5:25 p.m. Feb. 7 to investigate a felony menacing report.

The victim told police a man threat-ened him with a knife. Offi cers checked the area and located a 24-year-old man identifi ed as the suspect at the Englewood Light Rail Station. However, he took off and ran west across the railroad tracks and eventually ran across South Santa Fe Drive.

Englewood police set up a perimeter, searched the area and eventually located and arrested the suspect in the 3200 block of South Santa Fe Drive.

The 24-year-old was processed by Englewood Police and then taken to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Facility.

‘Chasing the light fantastic’Jennifer Riefenberg, Mark Akins featured at Town HallBy Sonya [email protected]

To paraphrase, painters Mark Akins and Jennifer Riefenberg have “chased the light fantastic” with a series of paintings executed in outdoor settings, where indeed light is an all-important factor to their work.

Their exhibit, “Chasing the Light Fantas-tic” ties in with Town Hall’s new production, “Swing,” opening Feb. 21, a show which is es-pecially about dance, with a live band.

The exhibit opens on Feb. 20, with a meet-the-artists’ reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

in Stanton Gallery, 2450 W. Main St. in Littleton.

Exhibit features Littleton students‘First Impressions’ on display Feb. 19-March 23By Sonya [email protected]

“First Impressions” will take on two meanings at Littleton’s Depot Art Gallery.

In the office and back room of the gal-lery, four new members of the Littleton Fine Arts Guild — which operates the Depot — will exhibit their art. They are acrylic painter Christa MacFarlane, oil specialist Nancy Whitenight, woodcrafter Leonard Hilgartner and watercolor artist Dee Chalkey.

The front room, meanwhile, will hold work by Studio Art students from Littleton High School, many of them International Baccalaureate students, for whom an ex-hibit is part of their course requirement.

Prospective college art majors need the same curriculum as IB students accord-ing to their teacher, Jennifer Jeannelle, although the IB exam is not required. So Jeanelle’s Studio Art class is a mix of bright, accomplished young artists who are creat-ing a variety of independent projects.

“We work thematically,” Jeannelle said,

with three projects (one assigned) due each six weeks, plus field trips. The IB stu-dents (there are six) prepare for an exam in their second year, when they submit a portfolio consisting of a sketchbook, art-ist’s statement, interview (at the gallery) and a video of the artist in front of their piece.

“The depot offered the space ... a chance for a real world experience,” said Jeannelle, whose background is in ceram-ics and involves numerous installations. “I want them to understand the real world.”

Students who are testing for IB credit will get to include three to seven pieces (depending on size), while others will have one piece. The students will install the show and publicize it, with help from the IB coordinator and some parents.

We were able to visit briefly with a number of the students involved to gain some insight into planned projects — with a fairly tight deadline.

Students will present everything from comic books to silkscreens and self- portraits.

Selena Ashbaugh has been busy work-ing with edible gum tape, forming bright, edible decorative flowers for a cake that at its base will be made of Styrofoam. No stranger to the kitchen, Ashbaugh will at-

tend Johnson and Wales University for an associate’s degree in baking and pastry. “Baking helps me re-lax,” she said.

Thinh Dinh Su will show a complex drawing of Buddha seated on a lotus, in-side a Star of David and is working on cutting a large stencil from flowing com-puter images. He said that he plans to at-tend art school, “per-haps after a gap year.”

Other students such as senior Sara Fee and junior IB student Natalie Sand-strom have been busy collaborating. The two are working on a project inspired by Shel Silverstein’s popular book “The Giv-ing Tree” and have been building a small model of a tree, which they will next en-large (in segments) to six or seven feet tall, using PVC pipe, chicken wire and a spray finish. “It’s about relationships with peo-ple and their paths and will include casts of hands,” they said.

Celebrating the ultimate tour guides

Four of Denver’s top tourism lead-ers have been named to the new class of inductees into the 15th Annual Denver & Colorado Tourism Hall of Fame.

They are: Denver catering king and philanthropist Larry DiPasquale, Denver March Powwow executive di-rector Grace Gillette, Colorado Rock-ies owner Dick Monfort and direc-tor of the Greenway Foundation Jeff Shoemaker with a posthumous award to his father, Joe Shoemaker, the foundation’s founder.

These city and state supporters will be honored during the Tourism In-dustry Hall of Fame dinner March 20 at the Seawell Ballroom.

The Tourism Hall of Fame serves as the highest award for Denver’s travel industry, which logged its best year ever in 2012 with 13.6 million over-night visitors generating more than $3.6 billion in spending. The industry supports 50,000 jobs in the area.

The gala is a fundraising event for the Visit Denver Foundation, which has given out more than $545,000 in scholarships to 214 Colorado students pursuing higher education in the fields of tourism and hospitality.

Painted Bread: A portrait of an artistKahlo’s tumultuous life with a splash and swirl of colorBy Sonya [email protected]

Soft guitar music plays as lights bring the patio of a Mexican stucco home, painted in soft terracotta tones, into focus. An ornate picture frame hangs in a central spot and framed is a colorful Frida Kahlo self-portrait — or is it?

Frida, played by the elegant Karen Slack, smirks, raises her eyebrows and establishes eye contact with a tour guide — and with the audience — as the guide (Martha Harmon Pardee) gushes about Kahlo’s “spicy” diary. Slack’s resemblance to Kahlo is un-canny and the audience is hooked.

About 10 years ago, local play-wright Melissa Lucero McCarl intro-duced her biographical play about legendary Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, “Painted Bread,” to Denver au-diences — with Slack in the lead. The Aurora Fox Theatre Company has given it a thoughtful, polished restag-ing, directed by Warren Sherrill, which runs through Feb. 23.

Kahlo’s turbulent life — with fa-mous muralist Diego Rivera and with

others — was filled with pain, ongoing drama and recognition for her skills as a painter. She is one of the best-known female painters who ever lived and there are 200 works attributed to her, painted in folkloric style.

Fifty-five of those are self-portraits. She had said she was alone so much she was a subject she knew best. (As a side note: A Kahlo portrait used for promotion of a collection of modern masters is due to arrive soon at the

Denver Art Museum.)Actor Paul Borillo fleshes out a

staged portrait of womanizer Di-ego Rivera, who was established as a world-renowned painter when the much younger Kahlo met and mar-ried him. He was also a Communist and she joined the party as well. Their relationship was tumultuous, with both involved in other affairs as they divorced and then both remarried.

Because of polio and a severe ac-cident, she was physically frail. One of her legs was deformed and she covered it with long, colorful Mexican dresses. (Linda Morken’s costumes are detailed and eye-catching in this re-gard.) Ongoing surgeries and illnesses interfered with her painting and per-sonal life in general, but the play con-veys her determination to live fully.

Her last diary entry read: “I hope the end is joyful — and I hope never to return — Frida.”

“Painted Bread” is beautifully pro-duced, skillfully acted and offers in-sight into an iconic era in Mexican and world art.

‘Road trip’ hits the brakes in Lone TreeDenver Concert Band brings Adam Frey to Arts CenterBy Sonya [email protected]

On Feb. 22, the Denver Con-cert Band will feature a unique guest artist for its “Road Trip” concert at Lone Tree Arts Center.

Adam Frey of Atlanta will per-form — with the band and as a soloist — on his euphonium, an instrument that Wikipedia de-fines as “a conical bore, baritone-voiced brass instrument.” It’s widely used in military and con-cert bands, where it is “the chief tenor voice,” according to English writer Dr. Brian Bowman, and its name comes from the Greek word euphonia, meaning “well-sound-ing.”

Frey, who performs and teach-es internationally, said he started playing a trumpet in his fifth-grade school orchestra and when he reached seventh grade the band director asked him to switch to the euphonium, which started him on an unusual career path.

“It’s not so well known,” he said. “I feel like mentoring and spreading the good news. (I’m sort of) an apostle for the eupho-nium.”

In a 14-year career, Frey has commissioned more than 80 ar-rangements for his instrument, including one of Puccini’s famous Tenor Arias “Nessun Dorma” from “Turandot.” He will play “Yellow Rose of Texas Variations,” arranged by Lewis Buckley, as

a stop on the Denver Concert Band’s road trip.

Frey includes four to five inter-national trips (he used to do more but now there is an 18-month-old in his life) and was leaving for a 12-day government-sponsored summer music festival in Brazil soon after Colorado Community Media spoke with him on the telephone.

In Brazil, his plans called for teaching a master’s class, con-necting with colleagues, and performing a couple of concert recitals, networking, and perhaps soloing with a band, as well as en-joying a Brazilian steak house. His instrument fits under his seat, so a second ticket is not necessary as it might be for a cellist.

“It’s generally quite a lot of fun,” he said. “I wish there were more time for sight-seeing.”

He’s glad to be making the return visit to Brazil, where he’s more familiar with the huge festi-val this year and can more easily decide what to do than on past trips.

When at home, he teaches at Emory University and Georgia State University, practices one to two hours a day and enjoys mo-torcycles, which “really connect

(him) with people,” he finds.Frey studied music at the Uni-

versity of Georgia and the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England, where he practiced six hours a day.

He has since performed with symphony orchestras and at fes-tivals in the US, Latin America, Europe and Asia, as well as with wind bands and brass bands. He is a Yamaha performer and guest

clinician.Denver Concert Band was

started in 1961 by a group of friends who wanted an oppor-tunity to make music with oth-ers. Its first public concert was in 1968. In the 1990s, it rehearsed and performed at Denver’s Cen-tral Presbyterian Church and for the past 16 years, Jacinda Bouton of Lone Tree has been its director. (She also directs the Lone Tree

Symphony Orchestra.)The band, now in its 53rd year,

is at home at Lone Tree Arts Cen-ter, where the Road Trip concert will fill the hall. Additional desti-nations on the program: “A Week-end in New York;” “Rumble in the High Plains;” Heartland Sketch-es;” “The Roosters Lay Eggs in Kansas;” “Salute to American Jazz;” ”Men of Ohio;” “Pie in the Face Polka;” and “The Ramparts.”

Englewood stays close but Fort Lupton scores late, wins by eight By Tom Munds [email protected]

Englewood repeatedly closed the scor-ing gap but was unable to score the neces-sary points to win the Feb. 4 boys basket-ball game against Fort Lupton as the Blue Devils hit key shots in the closing minutes

to win the game, 66-58.“Tonight’s game is sort of like how

things have gone for our team all sea-son,” Pirates coach Dave Chapman said after the game. “We play hard and keep the score close through much of the game but it seems we (can’t) quite get over the hump and we end up on the short end of the fi nal score.”

Englewood played a non-league game against Kent Denver on Feb. 11 in the fi nal home game of its season. The Pirates then go on the road for their last three games, starting with a Feb. 14 trip to Vista Peak.

The Pirates got off to a good start Feb. 4 against Fort Lupton as they had the range from outside and built an early lead. But the Blue Devils came back to build a 17-14

advantage by the end of the fi rst quarter and never relinquished their lead from there.

From that point on, though, the game was a battle. Fort Lupton would put to-gether a run and extend the lead and En-glewood would counter with a run of its

Englewood’s Sean Bowering (31) battles to pull down a rebound during the Feb. 4 basketball game against Fort Lupton. Bowering led the team with eight rebounds on the night. Englewood kept it close, but Fort Lupton hit key shots in the closing minutes to win the game, 66-58. Photo by Tom Munds

Heritage splits hockey contests Eagles rebound from loss to post 1-0 win By Tom Munds [email protected]

The Heritage High School hockey team lost 7-1 on Feb. 7 to Mountain Vista but they regrouped the next night to post a 1-0 win over Mullen.

“It’s no excuse, but we have several guys out with injuries tonight and that didn’t help us as we went against a very good hockey team,” Eagles coach Jeremy Sims said after the Mountain Vista game. “We knew tonight we would have to play our A-plus game and, while we played pretty good hockey, we just couldn’t get the puck deep early because we had trouble getting cleanly out of our end of the rink.”

He said he talked to the players after the loss, stressing they were still 8-3 in confer-

ence and in third place in the standings.“I told the guys to learn from tonight

and put the loss behind them and focus on playing good hockey and getting some wins in the three conference games left in the regular season,” the coach said. “The main thing is to keep our heads up, focus on those last three games so we can remain in third place in the conference, which will give us a good seed for the playoffs.”

Apparently the discussion paid off be-cause the Eagles came out Feb. 8 and got their ninth win of the season with the shut-out of Mullen.

The Eagles were on the road Feb. 12 against Pine Creek and they get a preview of the championship location Feb. 14 when they play Valor Christian at the Den-ver Coliseum. Heritage then closes out the season Feb. 15 against Coronado at the Ice Ranch in Littleton.

The Eagles faced a major challenge Heritage forward Jake Wener (9) battles Mountain Vista’s Cordt Fenstermaker (4) for the puck in a faceo� during the Feb. 7 hockey game at South Suburban Ice Arena. Wener won the faceo� but Mountain Vista won the game, 7-1. Photo by Tom Munds

own to close the gap. While they were within four points a couple times, the Pi-rates were never able to keep a run going long enough to take the lead.

Englewood was within fi ve points at 59-54 with 1:03 left in the game before begin-ning to deliberately foul. Unfortunately, the Blue Devils hit their free throws to wid-en the gap and went on to the eight-point victory.

Jordan Engel was the Pirates scoring leader with 16 points in defeat. He also had six rebounds and two blocked shots. Tris-ten Sisneros added 15 points, including four 3-pointers, and had three steals, while Isiah Mestas had 10 points, six rebounds and six assists. Sean Bowering also helped out as he scored seven points, was the re-bounding leader with eight and made two steals.

“We played pretty well tonight, but while Fort Lupton didn’t have a big height advantage, they consistently out-rebound-ed us,” Chapman said. “Two successive trips down the court, they got fi ve offen-

sive rebounds each time and fi nally scored on the sixth put back. On our side, I can’t complain about our effort. Our kids played hard. Unfortunately, once again playing hard wasn’t enough and some mental mis-takes down the stretch did us in.”

Sisneros, who scored both inside and out, said it was a pretty good night for him but it would have been better if the Pirates had won the game.

“I sort of had the range from outside to-night,” he said. “When I was open, I took the shots and most of my 3-pointers went in.”

The senior said it was a physical game and, for the most part, the offi cials let them play basketball without calling too many fouls to slow down the game.

“It has been a diffi cult season,” he said. “We have lost some close games, but if our team works together and does the right thing, we could get a couple more wins be-fore the end of the season.”

Sisneros said he is working to improve his stamina for the remaining games and also is beginning to get ready for baseball season, where he pitches and plays short-stop.


PiratesFeb. 7 when they went against conference-leading Mountain Vista.

The early going was give and take as the teams battled for the upper hand in set-ting the tempo of play. Mountain Vista took control with its fast-paced attack, scoring two quick goals in the fi rst four minutes.

The Golden Eagles added a short-hand-ed goal later in the fi rst period just before Heritage got its only goal on a power play late in the fi rst period. The Eagles battled hard the entire game but the attack efforts were frequently short-circuited by Moun-tain Vista players.

It was a tough, physical game. A lot of players from both teams spent a good deal of time on the ice, literally, as fi erce checks frequently resulted in one or both players getting knocked off their blades.

Josh Mazar, the team’s leading scorer with 12 goals and 11 assists, agreed it was a physical game against Mountain Vista.

“Mountain Vista, like a lot of other teams, have some big guys on defense so, as a forward, you have to keep your head

up and be aware of what is coming or you will get hit hard,” he said. “Personally, if I am bringing the puck down the ice and, if it is a breakaway, I am shooting. My prefer-ence is to go low so there may be a rebound for my teammates or for me. But, if the goalie uses a butterfl y style and is spread-ing out on the ice to try to block the low shot, I try to go to the high corner.”

He added that if it is a two-on-one breakaway, he looks for how the defender reacts to try to set up the best shot on goal, either by passing the ball to his teammate or taking the shot himself.”

Mazar said he is undecided about what the future holds after graduation. He said he may try junior hockey or possibly go to the University of Colorado and play club hockey. He said offers might come to play hockey but, whether they do or not, he’ll weigh the options and make what looks like the best decision for his future.

In the Feb. 7 game, Mountain Vista took 44 shots on goal while Heritage got off 16 shots on the net. Chad Curd scored the Ea-gles’ goal with an assist from Sam Appleby.

Heritage goalie Andrew Nash was kept busy by the Golden Eagles’ attack and fi n-ished the night with 35 saves.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF FEb 10, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Doing something nice for others is typical of the generous Arian. but be pre-pared for some jealous types who might try to ques-tion one of your more recent acts of kindness.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You’re eager to take on new responsibilities. but before you do, you might want to check out exactly what would be required of you so that you don’t face any “surprises” later.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) It might be best to put off an important decision until a fluctuating situation becomes more stable. Recently received news could help resolve a long-standing family matter.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) If you still have a prob-lem getting that information gap closed, you might consider asking a higher authority to resolve the mat-ter, leaving you free to move on to another project.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) A family matter needs to be dealt with at the start of the week. Once it’s resolved, the big Cat can devote more attention to that new op-portunity that seems to hold so much potential.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Pay attention to those niggling doubts. They could be warning you not to make any major decisions until you’ve checked them out -- especially where money matters might be in-volved.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A business venture might need more of your attention than you are able to pro-vide. Consider asking a trusted friend or family mem-ber to help you work through this time crunch.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A more-positive as-pect helps you get a clearer focus on how to handle your time so that you can deal with several responsi-bilities that are just now showing up on your schedule.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A very close friend (you know who that is!) has advice that could help you work through a confusing situation. So put your pride aside and ask for it. You’ll be glad you did.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A workplace situa-tion could turn a bit tense. The best way to handle it is to confront it and deal with it openly. Doing so can help reveal the underlying reasons for the problem.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A colleague’s re-marks appear to be especially cutting. but don’t waste your time or your energy trying to deal with the situa-tion. You have more important things to do.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Support for your work comes as a surprise from someone you thought was critical or, at least, indifferent. Your spouse or partner has big plans for the weekend.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your spiritual strength often acts as an inspiration to help others make decisions about their lives.

Making a life with tie-dye and tunesHHS grad’s career comes full circleBy Jennifer [email protected]

A devoted Deadhead, Steven Lee has dedicated his life to music and tie-dye — and it is more lucrative than it sounds.

“I’ve been self-employed my whole adult life,” he said. “Ever since I was 22, I’ve written my own paycheck, and I’ve sur-vived and thrived.”

Lee started his career in an unassum-ing building north of 7-11 at Littleton Bou-levard and Cedar Street in the mid-1980s, and ended up coming full circle when he bought the building three years ago. But there was an adventure in between that included celebrity close encounters and discovering the secret of tie-dye.

After Lee graduated from Heritage High School in 1980, he started taking business classes at Metropolitan State University of Denver. He got a job at Sound Warehouse, a record store that used to have several lo-cations throughout metro Denver but now is down to just one in Colorado Springs.

At 21, he took over as manager at the store’s Centennial location. It was practi-cally a requirement back then for touring artists to visit record stores to do album signings, so he met stars ranging from Ste-vie Ray Vaughn to the Indigo Girls.

“Denver was very lucky to have Barry Fey and a really vibrant music scene,” he said. “… That was an important time of my life, going to shows, being in the music scene. When you’re in that world, you have a lot of fun.”

After graduating from college, he rented two racks in Offbeat Records, the small used-record store in the building he now owns. He started selling CDs, then a new phenomenon but now quickly being re-placed by iPods and Pandora.

On the other side of the building was Crescendo Music, which sold guitars and equipment and offered lessons. That’s the side Lee utilizes today for the next part of the story.

“I was a Deadhead,” he said. “I’d go to Grateful Dead concerts, and I was kind of cheap. The T-shirts were pretty expensive even then, and I was like, why would you buy something you could make yourself? But it was a big secret where to get the dye. I just kind of cracked the code and figured it out.”

He’d seen an ad in a magazine for a store that sold tie-dyed items, proclaiming it used nothing but the finest reactive dye — and there was the clue.

“I thought, what’s reactive dye? That was back before the Internet, so I went over to Bemis Library and started researching it,” he said.

It turns out the reason the reason the T-shirts your kids tie-dye themselves bleed all over the rest of your laundry is that they didn’t have reactive dye. Lee explains the difference is a chemical reaction that causes it to become part of the fabric, ren-dering your white socks safe in the wash-ing machine.

Back then, virtually nobody in the country was selling the dye wholesale, usu-ally imported from India, and his business, Colorado Wholesale Dye, is still one of just a handful. It was successful enough that it allowed him to open his own record store, Pirate Records, near Cherry Creek High School, and later open two more locations. He kept that up until 2000, when he finally felt it was time to move on.

“We got out of that right before the In-ternet took it down,” he said. “I was tired of basically being a daily victim of crime.”

Every day he would catch people shop-lifting, and then one night somebody drove a car right through the front of the store and stole $800 worth of stuff. It was the last straw, and he packed up the record stores for good. But the dye business was still go-ing gangbusters, and he spent another de-

cade tending to it in a store on Broadway in Littleton.

Then the Offbeat building went vacant and began to fall into disrepair.

“Since I had a history with this place, I always kind of kept my eye on it,” he said.

When the price suddenly dropped along with the crashing economy, he jumped on

it in July 2010. Today it’s full of music equip-ment — he plays bass “just for fun” — dye samples, collectibles, old photos of himself and friends, little reminders of a full life with a 22-year marriage and four kids.

“It’s satisfying to have your own space,” he said. “I built it back up and revitalized it as much I could.”
