SPACES from scratch!

Where were you born?Denver, Colorado

How long have you lived in the area?I’m a native of the northwest Denver, Arvada, Westmin-

ster and Broomfield areas

What do you like most about it?First of all, I feel the

people are very friendly and willing to lend a hand. I love the wide-open spaces, how close we are to the moun-tains, and how easy it is to get around!

How long have you worked in Real Estate?

37 years and still go-ing strong! I’m consid-ered a “Pioneer” with the RE/MAX orga-nization. RE/MAX is

celebrating 40 years in business this year, and I’ve been with them for 37 of those years!

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?

I specialize in residential sales. Having lived and worked in the North area my entire life, I feel I bring a lot of ex-perience and expertise to the table. I’m familiar with all of the subdivisions, and can offer valuable information to both buyers and sellers when it comes to purchasing or selling their home.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?It’s sometimes challenging to main-

tain a balance between work and my personal life. I’m fortunate to have a very understanding husband and fam-ily!

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?

I love to travel, particularly to warm climates such as Arizona and Mexico! My husband and I have 5 children and 15 grandchildren, and really enjoy

family get-togethers, and traveling with them. I love to read, play on-line scrabble with my kids, and staying on top of the “techie” world! I love technology!

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house?

Do whatever you can to make sure your home is “the pret-tiest girl at the dance”. Buyers will pay a premium for a home that they can just “walk in to” and make it theirs.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?

I always counsel my buyers this way: “Don’t buy anything until you have found the home that is right for you”. Buyers know the minute they walk in the door whether or not it is going to work for them, and an astute Realtor can notice that as well. I have a lot of patience, because the one thing I never want a buyer to do is to regret their purchase. I really want them to be happy with where they have chosen to live.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Es-tate?

The day I opened the door to show a townhouse, and a pot-bellied pig came around the corner to greet me. I al-most had a heart attack!

SPACES from scratch!

Where were you born?I was born in Denver Colorado

How long have you lived in the area?I have lived in Colorado all my life. I actually live and

have raised my family in the same home I was raised in.

What do you like most about it?I love the weather and the number of activities we can

enjoy year round.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?I have worked in real estate for 33 years – first as a

draftsman for a homebuilder and eventually as a project manager at a development company. I have had my real estate license for the past thirteen years.

I specialize in the selling and buying of all residential property. My wife, Kerri, and I, also own a property man-

agement company. This allows us to stay informed and help our clients with their personal real estate along with investment properties.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?

The most challenging part of my business is working with so many different people in one transaction and making sure each person’s needs are met.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?

I really enjoy hiking, biking, working in my yard and hanging out with my two daughters and my wife.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house?

Do not take the comments about your home from buyers personally. They are looking at it in a different view.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?

Have patience. Make a good list of items you want in a home and prioritize them.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encoun-tered while working in Real Estate?

It always amazes me the condition some seller’s homes are in when they are trying to sell them.

C-470 talks in final stretchCoalition expects

to make expansion

decision soonBy Ryan Boldrey

[email protected]

After months of public outreach, town

halls and community surveys, the C-470

Corridor Coalition expects to decide by

March or April how to pursue expanding

the busy freeway corridor from Interstate

25 to Kipling Street.

“I think overall people are saying there

is something that needs to be fixed when

it comes to the congestion,” said Jack Hil-

bert, a Douglas County commissioner who

serves as chair of the coalition’s policy com-

mittee.According to the coalition, eastbound

travelers from Kipling to I-25 face delays of

more than 11 minutes during the morning

rush hour, and westbound travelers are de-

layed as much as 18 minutes in the evening.

Growth along the corridor is expected to

increase by more than 30 percent over the

next 20 years.

Beginning with a series of telephone

town halls in July, the coalition has been

busy presenting three options to citizens

and area business leaders: tolling any addi-

tional lanes and keeping the existing lanes

free; tolling all the lanes, old and new; and

raising property or sales taxes to pay for ad-

ditional new lanes.

“The one thing that has come across

clear,” Hilbert said, “is that there is just no

way in the world you could go back and toll

existing roadways. No matter what is decid-

ed, existing (lanes) will remain free.”

Hilbert said the coalition is leaning to-

ward a decision to toll any new or addi-

tional lanes to pay for construction and

maintenance. He said this will be discussed

heavily at the coalition’s January and Feb-

ruary meetings, when they go over results

from a recent telephone survey conducted

by Hill Research Consultants.

“If we go that route, construction could

start in early 2014, if not sooner,” he said.

“If we pick a financing option that requires

a vote (raising taxes), that obviously pushes

it out further. But I don’t think those two

options are what I am hearing citizens say.

I’m hearing citizens say `yeah, fix it, but we

want someone else to pay the taxes.’”

Raising taxes was a popular option in the

early town hall surveys, but according to

Hill’s survey only 9 percent of people were

in favor of increased property tax and 42

percent favored increasing sales taxes. De-

spite the higher numbers, 42-41, in favor of

sales taxes over tolling one new lane, the re-

port suggested that there was not sufficient

support to secure passage in an election as

required by TABOR.

Possibility of four lanes now

Hilbert said there is a possibility that

C-470 could expand sooner rather than lat-

Stay aware, legislators tell businesses

GOP lawmakers

speak to local alliance

By Jane Reuter

[email protected]

State leaders urged Douglas County

business owners to stay aware and get in-

volved in issues that could impact them as

lawmakers take their seats at the state Capi-

tol for the new legislative session.

Democrats have regained control of the

Colorado House, and maintain their ma-

jority in the state Senate, and Republican

members of the Douglas County legislative

delegation said that could impact business

owners. Four of them were on hand for a

Douglas County Business Alliance-spon-

sored legislative kickoff session held Jan. 3

at Lone Tree’s Sky Ridge Medical Center.

“The bills you need to be cautious about

aren’t going to be the ones grabbing the

headlines, so it means you really do have

to pay attention,” outgoing House Speaker

Frank McNulty said. “They’re the ones that

are going to have the highest impact on the

economy.”

McNulty urged business owners to

“show up at the state Capitol,” testify and

bring supporters when issues of concern

are on the table.

Coffman to focus on veteran assistance

Congressman sees

difference between

self, fellow Republicans

By Ryan Boldrey

[email protected]

A 20-year veteran of the U.S. armed

forces, Congressman Mike

Coffman (R-Aurora) plans

to focus much of his efforts

in the new congressional

session on veteran affairs.

The recently re-elected

representative for Colo-

rado’s 6th District said that

he intends to focus on is-

sues ranging from transi-

tion into the citizen work-

force to how the country

can better take care of vet-

erans suffering from post-traumatic stress

disorder.

“I think the real concern is in looking at

the unemployment rates for veterans, par-

ticularly those coming out of Iraq and Af-

ghanistan, and how it is significantly higher

than the general population,” Coffman

said.One way Coffman hopes to defeat this

is by working from the inside out. Near the

close of the last session he introduced a bill

that would force the Department of Veter-

ans Affairs to hire qualified veterans before

hiring from the outside.

“Only about a third of the people that

work (in the VA) have actually served in the

military,” Coffman said, “and I just think

that there’s a culture there that’s not re-

sponsive to the veterans. … In my experi-

ence, people who have served in uniform

are much more likely to understand the

challenges of those who are in the military

and are getting out of the military.”

It’s Coffman’s military background that

also has him in the midst of a movement to

restructure some recent cuts to the Depart-

ment of Defense.

“I think we need to go forward with these

cuts,” he said, “but I think they could be

done in a way that doesn’t compromise our

national security. There was no attention to

detail paid to these cuts. I think that they

thought it would never happen, so the no-

tion was `let’s just do an across-the-board

cut to the Department of Defense.’

“It just isn’t rational. We’re cutting pro-

grams that are essential and giving the

same weight to programs that are essential

to our national security to programs that

probably should have gone by the wayside

a long time ago or have little value.”

Coffman said he fancies himself differ-

ent from many members in his own party

in that a lot of Republicans don’t support

any cuts to defense spending. Some of the

things on the table in Coffman’s eyes in-

clude: troop levels in Europe; whether U.S.

allies should be more involved in cost-shar-

ing; whether we should retain some of our

permanent overseas bases; are there func-

tions being handled by active-duty military

that could be handled by the reserve at a

cheaper cost; and are there weapons sys-

tems that are being developed that aren’t

critical.“I’m looking at being very specific in

coming up with cuts that I think will realize

the same dollar amount but will not com-

promise our security,” he said.

Coffman

mike Coffman’s views

On fiscal resolution: “I like the tax piece, the fact that

most of the Bush tax cuts remain permanent for the vast

majority of American people I thought was a win. On the

negative side, it wasn’t at all balanced with cuts, and we

are, in fact, going to spend even more money now. We’ve

got to be serious about the deficit and the debt and this bill

certainly wasn’t serious about it at all.”

On proposed high-capacity magazine ban: “Person-

ally, I feel that there ought to be a limit. I think this notion

that there shouldn’t be any regulations at all is wrong. That

said, the question about high-capacity magazines should

be decided by state legislatures, because there will inher-

ently be varying standards for different parts of the coun-

try. I feel that 100 rounds is too much but that is an issue

that must be debated and decided by the Colorado General

Assembly and not in Washington, D.C.”

Candelas construction under way with housing options

Dozens of homes being built in

new sustainable development

By Sara van [email protected]

New homes — and much more in the

coming years — are starting to pop up in

west Arvada.The homes are part of the Candelas resi-

dential and commercial development.

Candelas is at Indiana Street and Can-

delas Parkway, just north of Coal Creek

Canyon Road. The proposed Jefferson Park-

way would run generally southeast of the

residential area. The residential portion of

Candelas is being developed by Terra Causa

Capital and GF Properties Group.

The neighborhood offers something for

everyone, said Creig Veldhuizen, a manag-

ing director with Terra Causa Capital.

“All of our builders so far, we have five of

them all in the same community, are offer-

ing different products and at different price

points,” Veldhuizen said. “They all have

different features and architectural flairs.

There’s a product for everyone.”

Builders include Century Communi-

ties, which offers homes starting in the

$300,000 range, and Richmond American,

which offers homes starting in the $500,000

range and higher. The other two confirmed

builders are Standard Pacific, with homes

starting in the low $300,000s and Ryland

Homes, starting in the low $300,000s. Both

made solar panels standard on the roofs of

their houses. The fifth builder has not been

confirmed. While the homes are all differ-

ent, the entire neighborhood is committed

to being sustainable and using renewable

energy, Veldhuizen said.

“When we went through the zoning pro-

cess, Arvada had some very high hopes for

the property in terms of making it a sustain-

able community,” Veldhuizen said. “They

held us to those standards and we shared

that vision.”Sustainability can be seen throughout

the community, Veldhuizen said, from so-

lar-powered street lights and tiles to solar

panels on the roofs of homes. The biggest

sustainability feature of the community,

though, is its recreation center.

“The recreation center is a $3 million fa-

cility,” Veldhuizen said. “It’s that expensive

because we’re committed to sustainability.

It’s going to be LEED silver certified, and it

may reach LEED gold.”

LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Envi-

ronmental Design, certification means the

building meets green standards set by the

U.S. Green Building Council.

The recreation center will be heated and

cooled by a geothermal heat pump system

and will feature 15 kilowatt solar panels on

the rooftop to offset most of the electricity

used, as well as many other sustainable fea-

tures, Veldhuizen said.

The most significant sustainability fea-

ture Candelas has though is its sustainabil-

ity trust, he said.“It’s the first of its kind in the state of

Colorado,” he said.Each builder who buys lots in Candelas

pays a fee of $3,000 per lot into the trust be-

fore building. If they build the homes with

qualified renewable energy systems, such

as solar panels, geothermal heat pumps

and other technology, they get a rebate of

the majority of the fee.

If the builder chooses not to build the

homes with sustainable qualities, the fee

sits in the trust and is available to the home-

owner to use to retrofit their home with sus-

tainable improvements, Veldhuizen said.

More than just sustainable living is

drawing residents out to Candelas though.

“One thing is the natural beauty of the

sites and the view,” he said. “Residents have

a 360-degree view from any home site. They

can see Standley Lake, the Flat Irons, down-

town Denver and Pikes Peak on the Front

Range. The natural beauty of the site is one

of the most defining characteristics of it.”

The coming development over the next

few years is another draw, Veldhuizen said.

Candelas, including residential, com-

mercial and open space will include 1,500

acres.The development, once completed,

will feature 1,500 single family, detached

homes, 1,000 or more higher-density units

and several million square feet of retail and

commercial space.“It’s kind of a city within a city of Ar-

vada,” Veldhuizen said. “They’ll integrate

and complement each other. There’s a tre-

mendous amount of open space in the

plan. Between parks, open space and trails

systems, we’ll have nearly 200 acres of open

space. There’s a significant commitment to

open space and building area where resi-

dents can enjoy the views and outdoor rec-

reational aspect of the community.”

Its proximity to Boulder, Golden, the

mountains and other locations where peo-

ple “work, dine and play” is another selling

point, Veldhuizen said.

So far, about 30 homes are under con-

struction and nine homes are already built

and occupied.Charlie McKay with Church Ranch Com-

panies, the commercial developer, said de-

velopment hasn’t started yet for the com-

mercial part of the community, but there

has been interest from convenience stores

Governor outlines challenges

State of State covers gun

control, civil unions, marijuana, economy

By vic [email protected]. John Hickenlooper acknowledged

that “there are no easy solutions” to issues

involving guns, but said a debate on how

best to deal with firearm-related violence is

something “our democracy demands.”

The Democratic governor, addressing

the General Assembly during his annual

State of the State speech Jan. 10, also prof-

fered his opinion on one area of gun con-

trol that is certain to be one of the most

passionately debated topics lawmakers will

take up this legislative session.

“Let me prime the pump,” Hickenlooper

said. “Why not have universal background

checks for all gun sales?”

That suggestion certainly caught the at-

tention of lawmakers on both sides of the

aisle.“It is just completely unenforceable,”

House Minority Leader Mark Waller, R-

Colorado Springs, said of Hickenlooper’s

call for all sales of guns — including those

involving person-to-person transactions —

be contingent on background checks.

But Democrats applauded the gover-

nor’s stance.“He made some risky points,” said Rep.

Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada. “He wasn’t

afraid to jump into that.”

Gun control, one of many issues that

legislators are expected to take up over the

next five months of the session, was just

one area that Hickenlooper addressed. Eco-

nomic matters, civil unions and, of course,

regulating the marijuana industry were also

touched on during his 40-minute remarks.

Common ground soughtTaking on the issue of gun violence is a

top agenda item for this Democratic-con-

trolled General Assembly, especially on the

heels of last year’s Aurora theater killings

and the December massacre at Sandy Hook

Elementary School in Connecticut. But just

talking about guns has always been a dicey

political issue, as the governor acknowl-

edged.“Some point to guns, others to a violent

RTD chief looks aheadGeneral manager Phil Washington outlines projectsBy Darin [email protected]

Regional Transportation District General Manager Phil Washington declared high ex-pectations as RTD continues several trans-portation projects targeted toward the Den-ver metro’s northern region.

Washington highlighted several projects during a Jan. 4 legislative breakfast hosted by Louisville-based nonprofit 36 Commuting Solutions at the Omni Interlocken Resort.

“The Denver-metro region will be the greatest city in the West,” Washington said. “I really believe that, and I believe that it can be done through the transportation investments that we’re making in this region.”

However, he said RTD’s journey to accom-plish these projects has not been an easy one.

In May 2012, the 15-member RTD board decided against placing a 0.4 percent sales tax increase on the general election ballot to fund FasTracks. This means if current finan-cial projections remain as they are, the North Metro and Northwest lines will not be com-pleted until 2042.

But Washington said he is convinced these two projects will be done way before the pro-jected completion dates and noted the trans-portation district has made significant strides in the past two years. In that time, Washing-ton said RTD has either begun construction or contracted work out for 77 percent of its planned FasTrack network projects, includ-ing the Gold, West Rail, U.S. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), East Rail and Interstate 225 Rail Lines.

“Of course we’ve had our challenges, but I always like to say that it’s not all about the knock down — the knock down being the challenges — but the get up,” Washington said. “We’ve had these challenges, but we’re getting up off the canvas, and we’re getting them done pretty quickly.”

Washington also said work on the nearly 6.5-mile segment of the Northwest Rail Line to the future Westminster station is about 33 percent complete. This rail segment, which is being funded through RTD’s federally-funded $1.03 billion Eagle P3 Project, is also part of the planned Gold Line through Arvada and Wheat Ridge that is expected to be opened by 2016, according to current RTD projections.

Washington said he has high hopes for the 18-mile Colorado Department of Transporta-tion-led U.S. 36 BRT (bus rapid transit) proj-ect between downtown Denver and Boulder.

“We want bus rapid transit on U.S. 36 to be one of the best BRT systems in the country, so we are committed to that,” Washington said.

To achieve this goal, Washington said RTD is striving to offer BRT riders new ser-vices, such as free WiFi service and a cashless-fare collection option through its recently-launched Smart Card system.

Washington said the BRT project, which is dovetailed with the 17-mile U.S. 36 Express Lanes Project between Federal Boulevard in Westminster and Table Mesa Drive in Boul-der, is expected to be fully completed by the end of 2015.

“That is the opening day for bus rapid transit on U.S. 36, and if you know me, you know I do not miss deadlines,” Washington said. “We will meet that schedule.”

As a part of the U.S. 36 Express Lanes proj-ect, a new managed lane in each direction of the highway will be added to accommodate buses and high occupancy vehicles.

In all, Washington said RTD has pledged about $135 million to the completion of its BRT system and the U.S. 36 Express Lanes Project. Lori Frasier, a 36 Commuting So-lutions board chairwoman, said she was pleased with Washington’s positive message on the U.S. 36 BRT Project and said the pros-pects of a mixed bus and rail line will bring significant benefits for the region.

“We’re really excited about that,” Frasier said. “It kind of brings the best of buses and the best of rail together, so it will be a whole new experience for us.”

All work and all playHyland Hills chief retires after decades of expanding Water World

By Ashley [email protected]

It all started at a Laundro-mat in 1969. Greg Mastriona had graduated college and was looking for a recreation job, when his wife Pam happened to run into the wife of the execu-tive director of the Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District.

“She told my wife that she was sure her husband would give me an interview,” Mastrio-na said. “I was very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time. That’s where is all started.”

Mastriona started his 43-year Hyland Hills career as a golf course assistant superin-tendent, before becoming the executive director in 1972.

Over the years he had an in-tegral part in growing the dis-trict, as well as becoming the visionary behind Water World.

But as of Jan. 1, he no longer leads the district; he’s enjoying the slower-paced life of retire-ment.

“I’ve been very fortunate to work for a great organization, board and staff,” he said. “We had a lot of teamwork, and I’m very proud of the staff, and I have so many good memories and experiences.”

Mastriona plans on taking in some golf and fishing during his retirement.

He said he doesn’t have any major plans, but looks forward

to traveling with Pam, who re-tired eight years ago.

The break is well-deserved after years of dedication to not only the Hyland Hills District, but the community.

His leadership and vision have resulted in many facili-ties including Adventure Golf & Raceway, the Greg Mastriona Golf Courses at Hyland Hills, the Ice Centre at the Prome-nade — a collaboration with the city of Westminster, the MAC (Mature Adult Center) and of course, Water World.

He said he’s also extremely proud of the many programs the district sponsors for chil-dren in the district.

“The best part of the job is seeing the smiles of the kids,” he said. “Knowing that the pro-grams and the facilities are be-ing used and enjoyed by the kids, that’s pretty neat. You can’t beat that.”

But before many of these fa-cilities and programs could be-come a reality, something had to be done about the lack reve-nue in the district when Mastri-ona became executive director in 1972. At that time, the district was burdened with debt.

That’s when Mastriona came up with the idea to build a wa-ter park. He says many people thought it was crazy to build a water park in Denver, but the idea soon proved to be a popu-lar one.

Mastriona went to the voters in 1979, and by a ratio of 14 to

1, a $2.7 million general obliga-tion bond issue passed to build the park.

The park began with just two water slides, but grew the fol-lowing year with the addition of the wave pool and four slides. Next came Surfer’s Cove and Thunder Bay in 1984, followed by River Country in 1986.

“River Country really put Wa-ter World on the map because it had tube rides and at that time all the slides were body slides,” he said. “We then built the first family ride, Raging Colorado, which allowed for people to interact on the ride. That was pretty cool.”

Since then, the park has grown to 48 attractions built over 67 acres, featuring rides like Voyage to the Center of the Earth, Mastriona’s favorite, and the most recent addition, the Mile High Flyer.

“Voyage was built in 1994, and we still have hour-long waits,” Mastriona said. “It’s a five-minute ride, that’s fast and features robotics. It’s still right on top, even though it is getting a little competition from the Mile High Flyer.”

Mastriona’s work in the field has made an impact in the community in more ways than one, but it’s also the work with his former employees that has made a great effect on those around him.

Joann Cortez, communica-tions director for the district, has worked for Mastriona for 15 years. She said as a boss, he never once raised his voice and always treated her with respect.

“If I had to go in a different way, Greg was direct about it and did in a kind, respectful way,” she said. “I think the aver-age tenure for the management staff is way over 20 years, and that is a testament to our leader. He’s just been great.”

It’s clear Mastriona will be

missed by the Hyland Hills family. Board president Don Ciancio said he has the high-est regard for his overall perfor-mance and commitment to the district. He said Mastriona did a superior job for the district and will remain a pillar for the Hy-land community and a valued resource for the district.

Going forward, Mastriona said he will take with him the many memories and experi-ences he’s made over the years, and will remember the great or-ganization, staff and board he worked with. But for those who need a little reminder of the for-mer director, just take a look in the top of his old desk.

“I always had a candy drawer that anyone could grab from, and I made sure and left it full,” he said.

School board member resignsGerken’s seat will be filled within 60 daysBy Jane [email protected]

Douglas County School Board Vice Pres-ident Dan Gerken resigned the week of Jan. 7, and already has stepped down from his seat. He cited growing family and work ob-ligations.

Board President John Carson said the group will begin the process of finding his replacement during the Jan. 15 board meeting.

Gerken was elected to the board in 2009, and his term was set to expire in November. He did not re-turn calls for comment, but Carson said there is no mystery surrounding his resignation from the education reform-fo-cused board.

“We depend on people being willing to take a lot of time out of their lives and work and families to do this,” he said, noting board members invest at least 20 hours a month to the unpaid post. “Dan has served selflessly in that capacity for over three years now. I greatly appreciate what he’s done for our school district.”

Carson said Gerken first approached him about resigning shortly after the new year.

“I tried to talk him out of (resigning), but he made his decision,” he said.

Though the board has often been criti-cized for its fast-paced reform efforts, Car-son said he doesn’t believe that was a factor in Gerken’s resignation.

“If you run for office, you have to be pre-pared for that,” he said. “Speaking for my-self, the reason I got involved in public edu-cation was to make some changes in public education that I think have been needed for a long time. I know Dan felt that way as well.”

In seven years on the board, Carson said this is the fourth vacancy filled by appoint-ment.

“It’s not an infrequent occurrence,” he said.

The board has 60 days to fill the empty seat. Any candidate must live in Gerken’s district — District D — which extends from Castle Pines to the southeast corner of the county.

Potential school board candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a 12-month resi-dent and registered voter of the district, and have no direct or indirect interest in district contracts. All current school board mem-bers are registered Republicans, but the of-fice is officially nonpartisan.

“We’re just looking for people that are interested in improving public education, continuing to make our school district the best, and keep making it stronger,” Carson said.

Gerken, a father of two, lives in Castle Pines with his wife, Gina. He is chairman and co-founder of Gerken Taxman Inter-ests, a commercial real estate investment and development company.

Procedure attacks cancer point-blankMan could get more time with familyBy Jane [email protected]

Father of three Timothy Forehand wants more time with his young daughters. A new procedure for patients with his form of liver cancer may give him several more months.

That’s a precious gift to a man who a year ago was told he likely wouldn’t survive for one more month.

Forehand underwent surgery to install the device that’s expected to extend his life Jan. 8 at Sky Ridge Medical Center. He among the first patients in the United States to undergo the process, and Sky Ridge is the first of a handful of centers permitted to perform it pending approval from the Food and Drug Administration.

The Dallas man was diagnosed with ocular melanoma in January 2012. The fast-growing eye cancer already had spread to his liver, where tumors typically are lethal.

“It’s a devastating diagnosis,” said Dr. Charles Nutting, who performed the pro-cedure. “Survival is only a couple months.”

The procedure performed last week concentrates chemotherapy treatment to Forehand’s liver, instead of his entire body, so high doses of cancer-fighting chemicals can saturate the organ. The idea, Nutting said, is to “try and really beat up the tumors as much as you can.”

The drug-infused blood is then collect-ed as it leaves the liver, filtered to remove as much of the chemicals as possible, and returned to the body. The method not only targets and intensifies the treatment, but minimizes side effects.

“Normally, in chemotherapy, you have to give so much poison the patient can’t handle it,” said Dr. Krishna Kandarpa, chief medical officer with the company that cre-ated the filtration device, Delcath Systems. “Now, you can isolate it to the liver instead of the whole body.”

The procedure is minimally invasive, requiring three small incisions into which catheters are inserted.

It is not a cure. Rather, it slows the tu-mors’ progress, typically prolonging the

lives of ocular melanoma patients by about six months. Some have lived an additional three to five years.

Even six months, Kandarpa said, is re-markable. “In the oncology world, people get excited if you get 15 days, a month (of life extension),” he said.

Forehand, speaking from his Dallas home three days post-surgery, said he was exhausted but looking forward to recov-ery and a return to his normal pattern. That means hanging out with 5-, 10- and 11-year-old daughters and his wife.

“We spend as much time as we can to-gether, and that’s a lot,” he said. “I don’t really worry about prognosis anymore be-

cause it’s all irrelevant. I don’t think one day at a time. I live my life the way anybody would. I do my best to enjoy my life with my family.”

Kandarpa sees its treatment in ocular melanoma as “a platform” from which re-searchers can work toward treating other tumors.

A significant delay in a tumor’s progress, Nutting said, is a step toward the cure he believes someday will come.

“What we’re trying to do is help mini-mize the impact of the disease, trying to make them feel better for a longer period of time until we can find that next magic bul-let,” he said.

New restaurant takes stir-fry to the next level

By Ashley [email protected] dining at HuHot Mongolian Grill

in Westminster, it’s more than just a meal,

it’s an experience.The new restaurant opened on Dec. 23

in the Orchard Town Center and is offering

a spin on Asian stir-fry.“HuHot allows people to create their own

meal just the way they like it,” said HuHot

Top Tier Colorado president Jay Warwick.

“People can make it as healthy as possible

if they want, and they can eat as much as

they want.”To start off the HuHot experience, guests

create their own custom stir-fry meal

with as many vegetables, noodles, meats

and sauces as desired. Once the creation

is complete, the bowl is handed off to a

grill chef who stir-fries the meal right in

front of them.As an all-you-can-eat restaurant,

guests can create as many stir-fry bowls as

they want.“The key words for us are fun, healthy,

different and unique. It’s an experience and

a conversation piece,” Warwick said. “It’s a

fun place to eat because not only do you get

to create your own meal just the way you

like it, hot, sweet or salty, you get to watch

people cook it and engage with the chefs.”

Manager Greg Thomas has been work-

ing in HuHot restaurants for 10 years. He

said the simplicity of the HuHot mod-

el and the atmosphere is what sets the

restaurant apart.“It’s very simple and there is so much

movement and so much going on to ob-

serve. It’s great for kids and families and

even for first dates,” Thomas said. “People

can actually care their food and see exactly

what goes into the food. It’s very simple and

if you like vegetables, this is the place.”HuHot Mongolian Grill also partners

with Home Front Cares, a nonprofit orga-

nization that provides responsive emer-

gency financial aid and other support to

Colorado service members, veterans and

military families.Warwick said every Monday a portion

of the sales are donated to Home Front

Cares and once a year a full day’s sales

are donated.“The average grant is about $1,000,” he

said. “The money helps out with every-

thing from rent to grocery money to car

payments. It’s such a good cause and it

fun to have the opportunity to be involved

with that.”HuHot also offers appetizers, desserts,

beer and wine. It is open from 11 a.m. to 4

p.m. for lunch and 4 p.m. to close for din-

ner every day and in the Orchard Town Cen-

ter, 14697 Delaware St. in Westminster. For

the legislation on the Early Child-hood Readiness Commission, which was established through House Bill 09-1343.“The Early Childhood Readi-

ness Commission is a legislative body that is involved with what is happening in the state in early childhood education and health care,” she said. “I was carrying out that bill to continue it on and it got lost in the political cross fire. So I am working with Sen. Evie Hudak to get that put in place.”Last session Peniston’s tanning

bill, HB 1170, was postponed in-definitely. Peniston is bringing it back again for the upcoming ses-sion.

The bill notifies parents of their child’s use of commercial artifi-cial tanning devices by requiring parents to sign a permission form listing the potential risks and to stay on-site with a minor less than 14 years old.The last bill Peniston is work-

ing on is the expansion of the defi-nition of who can use the Family and Medical Leave Act. She said the bill would allow

for more people to be considered in using FMLA, like domestic part-ners, grandchildren and grand-parents.

“This will go along with the civil union bill that will definitely be passed this session,” she said. “This bill would take care of those other important family members.”

Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, who rep-resents District 21, is new to the legislative floor, but is ready to bring the wants and needs of his constituents in Westminster to the state level.

He said the legislation he is sponsoring this year reflects the concerns he heard from the com-munity members on their porches and in front of their homes during his campaign trail. He is focusing on stewardship

of taxpayer resources, financial security and community trust with law enforcement.He said he is working on a bill

to save Colorado millions of dol-lars be determining a better way to pay for the required hospital-ization and inpatient treatment

for the inmate population.“Other states, including Ala-bama, Washington and Louisiana, have adopted similar policies and have witnessed tens of millions of dollars in savings for their taxpay-ers,” he said.This year Ulibarri will be work-

ing with the Office of Economic Development and International Trade to encourage the growth of the advanced manufacturing in-dustry in Colorado. He said jobs are needed in Colorado that sup-port working families and the lo-cal economy.“I’ll be sponsoring legislation

that ensures individuals that have faced financial adversity during Lawmakers continues on Page 7
