Spurlock gets nod in sheriff ’s race Other hopefuls unhappy with system at General Assembly By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock doubled the number of votes garnered by both of his opponents at the Republican General Assembly and will now run uncontested for the office of sheriff on the party’s primary ballot come June. After that, Spurlock will face off against

Libertarian Brock McCoy in November for the right to take over for term-limited Sheriff David Weaver. No Democrat has announced a candidacy for sheriff at this time. Receiving 233 votes from delegates, the undersheriff picked up 50.4 percent of the vote at the March 22 assembly, while Coroner Lora Thomas earned 24.8 percent and Castle Rock Police Cmdr. John Anderson wound up with 24.6 percent. For candidates to make it on to the Republican primary ballot they must receive 30 percent of the vote at the general

assembly. If they do not reach that amount, but finish with more than 10 percent, they had nine days to gather signatures equating to 20 percent of the total number of votes in the Republican primary during Spurlock the last sheriff’s election — which in this case meant 5,040 valid signatures by registered Republican voters in Douglas County. Neither Thomas nor Anderson chose to

go through with the petition process. “I think the message from the delegates is that the citizens of Douglas County are appreciative of the efforts of the sheriff’s office, they are happy with my vision and mission for the future, and they are happy with what I have been doing as the undersheriff,” Spurlock said. “I am very happy, humbled and proud to be representing the Republican Party. It is a daunting and humbling task to run for office. I really appreciate everything Spurlock continues on Page 6

Quiet zone possible for stretch of 85 County, Castle Pines Village residents may get relief from train noise By Hannah Garcia

SHREDDING UP THE BREAK High temps alas, and finally no class. Skaters, bikers and scooter enthusiasts flocked to Metzler Ranch Community Park March 27 to enjoy some spring break free time and fill their hours with sunshine instead of fluorescent bulbs, iPads and books. The park was a hot spot all week long as kids of all ages hit the bowls morning, afternoon and night.

Douglas County residents who live along the U.S. 85 corridor may be used to the sound of blaring train horns thanks to the busy railroad that snakes along the roadway. But pretty soon, the county is hoping the noise will subside once improvement projects at seven crossings are complete later this year. County staff began pursuing a “quiet zone” for the tracks along U.S. 85 in late 2009 after receiving a petition from Castle Pines Village residents hoping the reduction in horn sounds would result in a “better quality of life,” according to Sean Owens, an engineer with the county. “In response to that, the commissioners told me to go get a quiet zone, and four and a half years later we might get one,” Owens said. After a phone survey showed low support for a public improvement district tax to fund the project, the Castle Pines Homes Association and Castle Pines Metro District agreed to split the cost, paying for half of construction costs while the county agreed to pay the other half as well as the engineering and permitting costs. “It has been a journey,” said Linda Battin, president of the Castle Pines Homes Association, which serves Castle Pines Village. “We’re cautiously optimistic. We’re very pleased with where we are now and we’re still knocking on wood that it gets done.” As part of the effort to seek the quiet zone, Douglas County commissioners approved an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad for construction of a wayside horn, a stationary horn that Train continues on Page 6

Douglas job growth ranks second nationally Federal report takes look at 334 populous counties By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia.com The number of jobs in Douglas County grew by 5.9 percent in the fiscal year ending in September 2013, second only to Fort Bend County in Texas, according to a study of populous counties reported by the U.S. Department of Labor. The county ranked No. 2 out of 334 large counties with 75,000 or more jobs across the nation. Fort Bend’s job numbers grew by 6 percent between September 2012 and September 2013, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report. The national average increase came in at 1.7 percent, the bureau reported on March 19. Douglas County’s increase resulted in the county having 104,100 jobs in September 2013, the BLS reported. “Douglas County invests in and fosters the foundations that allow businesses to succeed: an exceptional transportation infrastructure, public safety and a business-friendly regulatory environment,” Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella said in a news release. At a March 24 land use meeting, Repella said the county’s incentives are “paying

dropping to $889, below the nationwide average of $922. The decrease in Douglas County’s average wage was “due to changes in the Management of Companies and Enterprises industry. The wages in this industry fluctuate wildly each quarter,” Nancy Gedeon, an economic and demographic analyst for the county, wrote in an email. Wages in that industry increased 362 percent from 2011 to 2012, which caused a 48 percent increase in the average wages of all industries in the county, she said. “My guess is that these business executives receive annual bonuses,” Gedeon said in an email when asked why the wages for that industry fluctuate so wildly. “Also, the average wage for this industry is at least (four) times higher than the average for all industries combined.” “When the Management of Companies and Enterprises industry is removed from the total, wages in Douglas County increased about 2 percent from the third quarter 2012 to the third quarter 2013,” Gedeon wrote. According to a recent report from the Colorado Department of labor, accounting for data through the end of February, Douglas County’s unemployment average checks in at 5.3 percent, lower than the state average of 6.1 percent and national average of 6.7 percent.

Robbins chosen as new school board member Military veteran expresses support for district policies By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rich Robbins was seated as the newest member of the Douglas County Board of Education on March 25. He was chosen on a 4-2 vote that included no discussion by the six sitting members of the school board. Judi Reynolds and Meghann Silverthorn voted against his nomination. Robbins, interviewed by the board moments before his nomination, expressed strong support for their policies. He has served on the District Account-

ability and some School Accountability committees. “I’ve heard the challenges our parents, teachers and administrators face day in and day out,” he said. Robbins said he would run for the District F, Parker-area seat when his term expires in 2016. He replaces Justin Williams, who resigned in January to spend more time with his family and who was in attendance during Robbins’ selection. Some community members were stunned by the vote. “It seemed to those of us sitting back there this was a done deal before you walked into the room because there was no discussion of qualifications,” said Cindy Barnard, a parent and plaintiff in a lawsuit against the district’s voucher

program. “I would loved to have known … directors Reynolds and Silverthorn, what your thoughts were. I’m speechless that we do not see the work of the board done in public.” Gary Colley, among six Robbins finalists interviewed for the post, offered Robbins a suggestion. “Rich, when you announced you’re totally behind the school board, I would hope this wouldn’t be an automatic `yes’ vote, that there would be some true discussion about what’s right for the community,” he said. A UPS Freight supervisor who retired after 20 years in the Air Force, Robbins

said he’d “like the opportunity to continue fighting” for children, adding he feels schools must prepare students “in order for America to continue to lead the world in so many important dimensions.” He affirmed his belief in pay for performance. “I strongly believe we need to pay great teachers compensation that is worthy of their excellence, and send a strong financial signal to those teachers who are underperforming,” he said. Robbins acknowledged there is room for improvement, saying, “No organization would be worth its salt if it becomes complacent.” Other finalists included Colley, Shaylee Holland, Dilpreet Jammu, David Ray and Franceen Thompson.

Board member drafting policy in wake of vote By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Concern about the process used to appoint the newest Douglas County School Board member has prompted board member Judi Reynolds to draft guidelines for future appointments. Reynolds was one of two board members who voted against Rich Robbins, who was picked to fill an empty board seat. Reynolds said her concern is with the process — not the person. She hopes to introduce her proposed policy during the next general board meeting on April 15. “The whole process in my mind wasn’t as laid out as I thought it should be,” she said. “I’m working on what I hope will end up being board policy to standardize the entire process, not just that final part of the process, to make it more transparent.” Robbins, who was among six finalists interviewed during a special March 25 meeting, was the only candidate nominated and was chosen on a 4-2 vote, with Reynolds and Meghann Silverthorn in op-

position. Board president Kevin Larsen did not open the motion to discussion, and no other board members offered comment. Some board members, finalists and audience members were surprised, believing the nomination would be discussed and that other candidates might also be proposed before a final vote was taken. “It was abrupt,” Silverthorn said. “I thought we should have had more conversation around things like qualifications, just a discussion of any kind. I don’t know what other people’s opinions were on any of the nominees because we didn’t talk about it. I wasn’t ready to (choose).” Silverthorn said the two-part interview process leading up to Robbins’ appointment was “great,” but that she wished the board “would have followed that through to a more logical conclusion.” When board member Carrie Mendoza was appointed in March 2013, then-president John Carson asked for discussion about her nomination three times. Five of the sitting board members commented before the unanimous vote for Mendoza

Free Peace of Mind Tire Protection

was taken. Mendoza also was the second candidate considered; a nomination for Reynolds did not receive enough “aye” votes to move forward. Board member Jim Geddes agreed the recent vote was quick, but said he saw no need for discussion. “I voted for the guy I thought would be most in line with my philosophy on things,” he said. “If somebody was not in favor of it, it would have been their responsibility to begin the discussion. “Some folks have suggested there might be some collusion going on. That’s just not the case. It’s unfortunate it made it look like we were maybe treating it lightly. But I think all of us were very serious about evaluating each candidate.” Robbins’ appointment was particularly sensitive for some, given the close nature of the 2013 school board race. Several community members had lobbied the board to select someone with different viewpoints. Finalist David Ray, a former Douglas County School District principal, said he could have filled that role.

“I think that’s what’s desperately needed,” he said. “I’ve never seen our district, community or even our staff in such a depressed state in terms of what’s happening. I really was yearning for a signal they wanted to move beyond that divisiveness and really add a different perspective. I felt like this was an opportunity they really missed.” Finalist Dilpreet Jammu, a member of DCSD’s Long Range Planning Committee, said the process was not well-defined, and the end result unsurprising. “I wasn’t surprised, given how things have evolved in terms of politics and our board,” he said. “I believe they picked the candidate who’s best for what their needs are. ... I certainly hope the gentleman makes good, solid decisions.” Robbins said he had no say-so in the process. “Whether it’s the right process or the wrong process, or whether the process needs to be tweaked or not, that’ll be something we need to hear from the public, and probably sit down and look at as a board,” he said.

Former school board president seeks CU-Regents’ seat Carson would take 6th District seat held by recently elected DougCo board member By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Former Douglas County School Board president John Carson is running for a spot on the University of Colorado-Boulder board of regents during the November 2014 election. Carson would essentially trade seats in 2015 with sitting District 6 CU-Regent Jim Geddes, recently elected to the Douglas County School board. Geddes does not intend to seek another term on the CU board.

The Highlands Ranch Republican served on the school board for eight years, the last four as its president. He left his term-limited seat in November. Kevin Larsen has since been appointed president. Carson also is a graduate of CU, with degrees in law and political science. “The University of Colorado has always been a great love of mine,” he said, “and I want to work to continue to prove it.” Aurora Democrat Naquetta Ricks and Fort Lupton Republican Paul Schauer also have filed their intent to seek the District 6 seat with the Colorado Secretary of State. Carson cited rising tuition as his top concern. The CU-Regents voted March 21 to raise tuition 3.3 percent for the coming academic year. “The cost for an in-state student at CU is

close to $30,000 a year, if you count room and board and tuition,” he said. “It’s gone up 50 percent in the last six years. Middle-class kids are faced with having a tremendous debt burden if they go to college and don’t come Carson from a wealthy household. “I think we need to take a look at the budget situation at the university, and make sure we get the university on a budget that reflects middle class families and their priorities.” Carson and Geddes, a surgeon and Sedalia resident, both want to ensure students at the traditionally liberal college are exposed to a variety of political viewpoints. “I want to make sure the university offers a

good, balanced education, and a lot of intellectual diversity,” he said. Geddes, elected to the DCSD board in November 2013, said Carson has his support. “He is a strong conservative,” he said. “He shares my concerns about the cost of higher education, and that the quality of education at CU and similar universities would be greatly enhanced if we could have more intellectual diversity of our faculty.” While on the DSCD board, Carson participated in and oversaw the introduction of many of the district’s education-reform policies, including the voucher, or Choice Scholarship, program, teacher pay-for-performance and the end of the long-standing agreement with the teachers’ union. He also helped implement budget changes designed to build up the district’s financial reserves.

Board vote brings together traditional foes Concerns about changes to public comment cross lines By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School Board’s recent decision to restrict public comment has had an unexpected impact, at least momentarily uniting many who traditionally have stood on opposite sides of the board’s deci-

sions. Many Douglas County residents who disagree on the board-initiated voucher program, teacher evaluations, budgetary and other issues have come together to agree that the March 25 policy change goes too far. A member of DCSD’s District Accountability Committee and a district captain with the Douglas County Republicans resigned his DAC post after the 6-1 vote to limit general public comment to five minutes per meeting. Former DAC member David DiCarlo

did not return calls to Colorado Community Media requesting comment, but said during a March 18 discussion about the proposed policy, “I don’t always like what my neighbors have to say … but I would die for their right to say it.” Board member Meghann Silverthorn was the lone director to vote against the public comment policy change. Though the board-approved motion allows board president Kevin Larsen discretion to expand the time for public comment, another Douglas County Republicans’ district captain decried the change as “an unreasonable restriction on public participation.” “That the board president has not been able to preside efficiently over public meetings is insufficient justification to establish arbitrary and oppressive restrictions,” reads a post from Dave Gill on both the Douglas County Republicans’ and Doug Co Champions for Kids Facebook pages. “As inconvenient as the more autocratic elected officials among us may find it, we still live in a Republic.” Promoted as a way to expedite the board’s business, the change focuses the bulk of pub-

lic comment on items listed on the agenda. Instead of the 30-minute period now reserved for public comment, much of which has been sharply critical of the board — public comment now will be allowed only at the meeting’s end during a five-minute, oneminute-per-speaker period. The Douglas County Republicans actively campaigned for and supported the reformminded board members in the last three elections, but Gill said he’s far from alone in his position. “I think you could safely say many of the Republicans who support and have supported the board are not at all pleased with this decision and certainly will be urging them to correct it,” Gill said. “I think the board has to learn to be more open and to appear more open.” Larsen did not return calls from Colorado Community Media requesting comment. Gill is among many who hope the discovery of common ground in the long-divided DCSD school board community could spark some unity. “Maybe that is something good that will come out of this,” he said.

Republican assembly paints primary picture Three GOP races to be contested this June in Douglas County By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@coloradocommunitymedia.com In addition to the sheriff’s race, there were three other contested races at this year’s Douglas County Republican General Assembly. In all three races — to replace state Rep. Carole Murray in House District 45, Jack Hilbert as District 1 commissioner, and Lora Thomas as coroner — all prospective candidates received the minimum 30 percent support at the March 22 assembly to make the June primary ballot. Running to replace Murray in the state House, political newcomer Patrick Neville, a retired Army captain who resides in Franktown, defeated Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Jack Arrowsmith by a margin of 64 percent to 36 percent at the assembly. Neville said his main takeaway from the experience was “that Douglas County is ready for bold, conservative leadership.” He said he’ll “bring a new energy and a passion for what (he) believes in,” putting an emphasis on fiscally conservative values. Arrowsmith, who has served the last seven years as clerk and recorder, touted his experience, a background that also includes four years as a legislative co-chair for the Colorado County Treasurers’ and Public Trustees Association, five years on

the county’s planning commission working with land use and water rights, and three years on the Douglas County Open Space Advisory Committee. The Castle Rock resident said he “understands the value in protecting rural Douglas County.” While Arrowsmith said his level of experience is “something his opponent doesn’t have,” Neville called the clerk and recorder “a career politician” and said he believes “everyone has a unique set of experience they can bring to the table.” “I understand what it means to raise my hand right hand and defend the constitution. I have seen people sacrifice everything to fight for that,” he said. “Unfortunately, I think the war for our freedom and liberty and our constitution is no longer overseas, but here at home.”

Commissioner race

To replace Hilbert as county commissioner — which represents the northeastern portion of the county — Sheriff David Weaver defeated businessman Stevan Strain, 61.3 percent to 38.6 percent. Weaver is term-limited in his current elected office. Strain, pleased to be on the primary ballot, was far from discouraged by the assembly vote, which heard the voices of 473 delegates, a small portion of the county’s 100,905 registered Republican voters. “It is about the party right now, to see if I am a qualified candidate,” Strain said. “I worked for 30 years to get the experience for the platform I’m running on … doing what is great for the citizens of Douglas County, holding down taxes, providing goods and services.”

the delegates and alternates did and I’m very pleased for the way it turned out.” Thomas and Anderson both expressed disappointment with the caucus process, and the fact that Colorado

Strain, who recently sold the Warhorse Inn after 30 years of running the popular Parker restaurant, currently serves on the county’s planning commission and open space advisory board. He has also served as president of the Parker Chamber of Commerce and Parker Economic Development Council, been involved with the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District and sat on the library board of directors. Weaver, on the other hand, pointed to being a longtime resident, who in his role as sheriff, has really gotten to “know the people and know the issues” as well as gain valuable experience in balancing a budget upward of $50 million. “At the end of the day, I care tremendously about this county and its future,” he said. “It all comes down to providing governance. My concerns are plentiful with balanced growth, water solutions, and I bring experience in leadership and management, and have a lot of knowledge and experience in serving people as we continue to grow at a rapid speed with the goal of continuing to have a thriving economy. “I appreciate the time and effort the delegates put forth in understanding all of the candidates and the issues that face us here as a community. I appreciate the overwhelming support and I look forward to serving them in the future.”

Also on the primary ballot

In the race to replace former sheriff’s candidate Lora Thomas as coroner, Tracey Montano defeated Jill Romann 57.7 percent to 42.2 percent at the assembly, and both candidates will appear on the prima-

is among the minority of states that still adheres to it. Both also agreed the process is not necessarily a representative one as intended. “The caucus system is designed to work for the political machines and I am not a political machine,” said Anderson, lamenting that there was neither time nor money to pull together enough signatures before the deadline. “Twenty votes kept me off the ballot. I’m just disappointed that 460 people can decide how hundreds of thousands of people would vote. I don’t think it’s right. “You go in believing in the system, and there are people that give you thousands of dollars to support you and knowing what I know now, I feel they were ripped off.” Thomas pointed to the fact that in 2010, she narrowly lost to Carter Lord in the race for coroner at the assembly, losing 50.8 percent to 49.2 percent with 417 delegates voting. She then went on to carry 94 percent of the precincts at the Republican primary, winning by a margin of 21.6 percent with more than 26,000 votes cast. She said those same delegates that gave “Tony Spurlock a free ride” are “out of step with most Republican voters” and what happened in 2010 demonstrates that. “Why did 50 percent of the Republican party bosses at the assembly vote for someone other than Tony Spurlock? They recognized the need for new leadership and

warns motorists of oncoming trains, at the Atrium Drive crossing at a March 25 business meeting, including $50,252 in funds. Wayside horns are meant to reduce noise by eliminating the need for the sound of trainmounted horns at crossings. The total construction cost is estimated at around $600,000, Battin said. The county waited eight months for the agreement to come through on the railroad’s end, according to Owens. The project aims to put warning signs along the five private crossings and add to gates to the Highway 67 crossing to establish the quiet zone in accordance with federal guidelines.

fresh ideas,” she said. “The calls that I’ve received this week indicate that Douglas County Republican voters aren’t pleased with this arrangement.” Anderson said he doesn’t know how to change it, but that he plans to educate more people about the process and that change needs to come at the state level, and he hopes it will. “There are a lot of people that are unhappy that they were denied the ability to vote,” he said. “Their voices don’t get to be heard.” Douglas County Republican chairman Craig Steiner said that he personally likes the process and that it is “open to any Republican who decides to show up and caucus,” and that they alone have the ability to “determine the outcome.” At the same time Steiner said, while candidates can choose to forego the caucus and assembly and begin petitioning Feb. 1 with the same March 31 deadline, he doesn’t feel like there is enough time after the assembly for candidates to petition on to the ballot if they don’t get the 30 percent, as all petitions must be filed 85 days in advance of the party’s primary election. “I hope that is something that is fixed in Colorado election law,” he said.

In a quiet zone, trains cease regular sounding of their horns when approaching crossings after measures are taken to mitigate risk, according to the Federal Railroad Administration. Horns can still be used in emergency situations. Battin said the ensuing effort to establish the quiet zone comes after more than four years, a process that included setbacks but was educational. “We were sort of an experiment. We learned a lot through the process,” Battin said. “But now, here we are.” Owens said the county had to go through the state’s Public Utilities Commission for approval for the improvements at the Atrium Drive and Highway 67 crossings. He said he hopes to have the entire project finished by late summer or early fall of this year. After a yearlong probationary period, Owens said the quiet zone

The following candidates had no competition at the general assembly and will run unopposed in the party’s primary this June: At the state level, Chris Holbert, currently the representative in HD-44, is running to replace term-limited Ted Harvey in Senate District 30. Jack Hilbert, currently the District 1 county commissioner, is running to replace Holbert in HD-44. And Kevin Van Winkle is running to replace termlimited Frank McNulty in HD-43. At the county level, Merlin Klotz is running to replace Arrowsmith as clerk and recorder. Diane Holbert is running for reelection as treasurer. Lisa Frizell is running to replace term-limited Teri Cox as assessor. And Robert Snodgrass is running to replace retiring Dale Hamilton as the county surveyor. As of now Snodgrass is the only Douglas County Republican aside from sheriff’s candidate Tony Spurlock, who has competition waiting in the general election. In November, Snodgrass will face Democrat William Buntrock, who was defeated by Hamilton in 2010. Also of note, HD-39 incumbent Polly Lawrence, who lives in Roxborough, is the only Republican that has filed to run for that seat. As that district represents both Douglas and Teller County, the assembly to place her on the ballot will be held April 11 with delegates from both counties. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lawrence stands to face Larkspur Democrat Carla Turner in the general election for a second consecutive time.

will be permanent. The quiet zone would extend on the northbound track from the Atrium Drive crossing near Castle Pines Village to the Highway 67 crossing in Sedalia, containing five private crossings in between those two sites. Owens guessed that at least 20 trains travel on those tracks in a 24-hour period and each have to sound their horns at each crossing. If his estimate is correct, residents may hear up to 140 horns a day. “The trains along highway 85, they blow the whistles at every crossing all day and all night,” Battin said. “Our residents wanted to see if there was anything that we could do. We have some very active and passionate residents who really, along with Sean Owens, they never gave up. There were many obstacles and they continued pushing along and finding alternatives.”

Trial over new gun laws under way Judge’s ruling could impact recently-enacted laws in Colorado By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s new gun laws are “burdensome” and “a symbolic gesture that does not improve public safety,” a lawyer said on the first day of testimony of a trial that takes on the legislation passed in 2013. But a state’s attorney said that the laws do nothing to take away guns from lawabiding citizens and that the motivation behind the legislation is to curb mass shootings like the ones that occurred at Columbine High School and from inside an Aurora movie theater. “In response to these events, Colorado’s elected representatives made a policy decision to pass two pieces of legislation that appropriately balances the state’s public safety concerns with the respect



of the Second Amendment rights of citizens,” said Deputy Attorney General Matthew Grove. The lawyers’ arguments opened a twoweek trial over a lawsuit filed against the state and Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper that alleges that two recently enacted gun laws violate gun owners’ Second Amendment right to bear arms. At question are laws that expand background checks on gun sales in Colorado and limit the number of rounds that an ammunition magazine can hold to 15. The lawsuit is being brought by gun rights groups and is being heard in a Denver U.S. District Court by Judge Marcia Kreiger. A successful effort by the plaintiffs could put the new laws — which were signed by Hickenlooper last year — in jeopardy. Debate on the bills last year caused highly-charged partisan rancor at the Capitol between Democrats who backed the efforts and Republicans who uniformly voted against them. The bills also led to last year’s recall elections, where three

Democratic lawmakers either lost or resigned their seats. The new background checks law expands a previous statute that requires gun shops to conduct a criminal history prior to the sale of any firearm. The updated law expands that to all sales and transfers, regardless of where or how they occur. Plaintiffs’ attorney Richard Westfall argued that the new background checks law is unreasonable and unenforceable. He took particular issue with a part of the law that prohibits the transfer of guns among friends and family members, without having background checks conducted. “There is no justification for such a burden, particularly because this statute doesn’t even work,” Westfall said. Westfall also took on the magazine limit ban, which bans new sales and transfers of high-capacity ammunition magazines. The law does not apply to existing magazines that may already be in a person’s possession. Westfall argued that the law is unenforceable because “tens of millions of magazines over 15 rounds exist.” He also

said the Legislature was “moved by highprofile mass shootings” and that the laws are “a symbolic gesture that do not improve public safety.” “The question is whether the magazine ban will have any positive impact on public safety at any level,” he said. But Grove pushed back against those arguments. He contends that expanding background checks to all potential gun buyers “makes it more difficult for a prohibited person from acquiring firearms.” In defending the new magazine limit, Grove said that restricting the number of rounds that a killer can hold limits the damage that he or she can inflict. “Reloading creates a crucial window of opportunity for a victim to escape or to disarm a gunman,” Grove said. And Grove said that the laws are not aimed at limiting the possession of guns by a law-abiding citizen. “It does not take these items away from people who already own them. It does not restrict their lawful use. It does not limit the choices of firearms Coloradans can carry,” Grove said.

LEGISLATIVE BRIEFS Bill sets up military base-closing study

A bill that would commission a study in advance of possible military base closings that could impact the state passed a Senate committee on March 24. The Pentagon has announced that it plans to close some military bases across the country as part of an effort to cut about $900 billion from its defense budget. Senate Bill 157 — which is being sponsored by Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, and Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs — would spend $300,000 to commission a report to the Department of Defense that details the “economic advantages” of keeping and expanding Colorado’s military bases and facilities. The bill received unanimous support from the Senate State, Military and Veteran’s Affairs Committee and now heads to the Appropriations Committee.

Telecommunications reforms move forward

Telecommunications reform efforts, which have struggled for years to come out of the Legislature, could become a reality this session, under a package of bills that passed a House committee on March 25. The package of five bills includes an effort to expand broadband development in rural parts of the state, through a $54 million funding measure that shifts money from an existing phone service subsidy. The bills also seek to deregulate certain broadband technologies and would provide incentive to create broadband services in under-served parts of Colorado. However, the bills are receiving opposition from groups representing senior citizens, who say transferring the subsidy that’s currently earmarked for basic phone service will give little incentive Legislative briefs continue on Page 15

Meetings address power line concerns Pawnee-Daniels Park line cuts through Parker By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com More than 200 people attended open house meetings aimed at answering questions about a high-voltage transmission line planned for construction in 2017. The proposed Pawnee-Daniels Park transmission line — a project that spans 125 miles from Brush, Colo., to Douglas County — has raised concerns from those living near the corridor. While there is an existing 230-kilovolt line, residents are worried about the possibility of obstructed views and increased buzzing. The new 345-kilovolt transmission line would carry electricity generated by wind farms and gas plants on the Eastern Plains. At a cost of $178 million, the line is necessary to keep up with past and future population growth in the southeastern corridor of the metro area. The existing line has “reached maximum capacity,” said Mark Stutz, senior media representative for the Public Ser-

vice Company of Colorado, a division of Xcel Energy. “The benefits are reliability,” he said. “We live in a society that wants its power 24/7. This is a component of ensuring we get them the power they need.” The energy provider looked at alternatives, including options of a less-disruptive southern route and the possibility of burying the line, but the costs were astronomical. Installing the line underground would cost up to $40 million per mile, Stutz said. He said transmission lines are like roads, and when they get bogged down with traffic, there is a need to expand capacity. Public Service Company purchased extra space for utility right-of-way in 1968 with a long-range plan of adding another line down the road. Unfortunately, some homeowners living along the corridor weren’t aware of the plans for an additional line. Tony Lehtola, who lives in the Neutowne subdivision in Parker, attended the last of four open house meetings March 20 with general concerns about lifestyle impacts. Boards displayed aerial images of the corridor and Xcel employees were on hand to ad-

dress outstanding issues. Lehtola said the line might have been in Xcel’s plans for decades, but it was not officially proposed to the state Legislature until 2007, one year after he moved in. Approximately 65 people, including homeowners in Rowley Downs, Willow Park and the Villages of Parker, attended a meeting March 17 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center. Stutz said there is greater public interest on the southern end of the line because it runs through a more densely populated area. “Having these types of meetings is absolutely necessary,” he said.” You have certain advantages of being in an existing corridor that is planned to get a second line anyway, but there are still things you find out at these meetings that address a lot of the issues we need to look at, whether there’s environmental concerns, noise concerns from the line.” If approved, construction on the Pawnee-Daniels Park transmission line would begin in 2017, with completion in 2019. It follows a path that cuts between Livengood Hills and Rockinghorse in unincorporated northeastern Douglas County, and along the

opinions / yours and ours

Blaming is obstacle on road to accountability “It wasn’t me!” “It’s not my fault!” “I can’t believe they did that!” To me, personal accountability is right up there with character, integrity, and honesty on the value scale. When we make mistakes, and we will, it is our responsibility to own them, fix the issue if possible, move on and learn from each one. As for me, I am doing a lot of learning these days … if you know what I mean. What we have to avoid is the “Blame Game” when it comes to blaming ourselves or others. Whether we try and hide from our errors out of shame, or we have developed a coping mechanism over time that allows us to point the finger of blame at others, it’s time to step up and take ownership of everything we do. And by the way, some of you may have heard or seen this before, but when we point the finger of blame at someone else, there are still three

fingers pointing back in our direction. Do others need to be held accountable? Absolutely. We all make mistakes and err from time to time. And in each case the level of conversation or appropriateness of a discussion around the event will be driven or dictated by the depth of the relationship between the people involved. When we have the strength and confidence to hold ourselves accountable for our own actions, it becomes so much easier to talk with others about their accountability and

letter to the editor Parents’ feedback matters most

I am writing in response to Dave Usecheck’s letter to the editor published March 27, titled “Survey needs to reach parents, non-parents.” There is a reason that businesses require a user code from a sales receipt in order to complete a customer satisfaction survey. Someone who doesn’t have direct shopping experience at Walgreen’s (for example), cannot provide useful feedback to the store, no matter how many times they drive by. Likewise, parents have direct experience with and knowledge of their children’s schools and, if they are involved enough, district policies that the rest of the community does not, no matter how many children knock on their doors selling magazines. If our school district wants to see how paid advertising can affect the public’s perception of the district, they

got that in the last election. If they want to see how their policies and actions are truly affecting students, they must ask the parents, and the parents alone. That said, Mr. Usecheck should be glad to hear that parents who have found the district “reforms” harmful to their children, HAVE recently found some common ground with BoE supporters. After the School Board voted 6-1 to drastically reduce public comments at board meetings, some of their most outspoken supporters are agreeing that this silencing of the public is wrong. I hope that this small piece of common ground can help end the heated rhetoric and name-calling, and provide a foundation upon which to discuss differences of opinion respectfully.

You build them up, they let you down Who and what can you count on? Who and what can you rely upon, each and every day? (Let’s leave God out of this.) It’s a good question. Even the best of friends flake out now and then. The best appliances go on the blink. Technology is always vulnerable. Your car can’t be trusted 100 percent of the time. Your cookies are broken. There are bones in your burrito. Meteorologists? They’re good, but they’re not perfect. I have never complained. Most of the time they are right on it. I always keep in mind that they are not predicting the weather on my street. I can’t count on my favorite actor to always, always be brilliant. The same goes for my favorite musicians. When I was a teenager, if a group had two hits, they would record an album. There would be a hit on each side, and the rest of the songs would be fillers. Most of the time the fillers were duds. Sometimes my favorite group — like Peter, Paul, and Mary — would record a song from the drecky settlings of a songwriter who missed the boat, missed the bus, missed the velocipede. Please don’t make me listen to “I Dig Rock and Roll Music.” My theory is that they thought their day had come and gone, that folk music’s day had come and gone, and that they wanted to look like they were still valid. Instead of singing a rock and roll song, they elected to be rock and roll sycophants. That’s unforgivable. On top of that, they sing the word “dig.” The song came out in 1968. “Dig” had come and gone years before. It made me sad. Unfortunately the damn thing was a hit. I freeze when I hear it, and leap to change it.

One time I changed the station, and the second worse song ever was on. Jefferson Airplane may have taken its name from a slang term for “a paper match splint that holds a marijuana joint that has been smoked too short to hold without burning the fingers.” One disc jockey said they were named after an airplane that was displayed in front of Jefferson High School. Either way, it was a good name. Was. Then someone decided to befriend “Star Wars” and renamed the group “Starship.” That still irritates me. Their first single was awful. Unfortunately it was a hit too. Elton John’s pal Bernie Taupin was involved. Please. Please do not play “We Built This City (on Rock and Roll”). It was all wrong, arrogant, a presumption, badly timed, a once great band’s resignation to the slide back down the hill. It reminded of Academy Awardwinning actor Ray Milland appearing in “The Man With Two Heads.” If it had been at the start of his career, OK. It wasn’t. The other head belonged to black football star Roosevelt Grier. What was it like on the set? Was it non-stop laughing? I’ll tell you what I can count on every day.

responsibility. It’s when we act one way and think that it would be OK to absolve ourselves from being held accountable, yet we feel like we can point out the erroneous ways of others, is where we get ourselves in trouble. Accountability sometimes carries a negative connotation, but it doesn’t always have to. People just don’t like being held accountable; it is a strong word for sure and does carry a heavy weight or even burden for some people. Accountability should be a positive word and used to motivate, inspire, and encourage ourselves and others. When used negatively, accountability can become a weapon. When it is used positively it can serve as a tool and launching pad for greatness. The next time you consider pointing your finger somewhere, point it in the direction of where you want to go instead

of pointing it at where you have been or at someone else. Now when you do this, point your finger towards your destination, you will still have three fingers pointing back at yourself. This will remind you that you are the one responsible and accountable for reaching and exceeding your goals. So are you playing the “Blame Game” or are you using accountability as a tool to help drive you toward the achievement of your goals and dreams? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com. And when we leverage accountability as a tool and not a weapon, it really will be a better than good week.

Today’s snow is tomorrow’s water Nothing beats a week of gray skies and stuffy suits in Washington like a sunny day in Colorado’s high country. A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to strap on some snowshoes for a short hike on Berthoud Pass with local water managers and staff from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. They were taking a manual reading of the state’s snowpack and checking the automatic SNOTEL measurement device. Undersecretary Robert Bonnie, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s top environmental and natural resource official, and the man who oversees NRCS, also came along. These snowpack measurement systems, some that date back to the 1900s, are a critical part of the Snow Survey and Water Supply Forecasting program that Colorado water officials rely on to anticipate river flows in the spring when the snow melts and calculate how much water will run off into rivers and reservoirs. Our state’s farmers and ranchers depend on these forecasts to decide how much and what type of crops to plant, while metropolitan leaders use the data to decide how best to meet their needs in the coming years and to prepare for potential flooding. Beyond Colorado, these measurements are important for states downstream that depend on our watersheds. Colorado contains nine major watersheds, each with its own snowfall patterns and obligations to other states. While some of these water sources may be at 100 percent, in other regions the levels may be less than half

of the normal supply. Many of the state’s water rights agreements are predicated on the level of snowpack making the accuracy of these measurements particularly important. Recently, however, funding for the Snow Survey and Water Supply Forecasting Program was threatened by budget cuts and sequestration. Colorado communities from across the state shared their strong concerns that cutting funding to this program would damage the accuracy of the measurements and reduce the effectiveness of this vital planning tool. In response to these concerns, we joined forces with Colorado’s water community, Sen. Mark Udall, and Congressman Scott Tipton to urge the NRCS to reconsider the cuts. After working with local communities, water managers, and the NRCS, we secured funding for the program for this winter. In addition, we secured funding in congress for the next fiscal year. We are not out of the woods yet though. Bennet continues on Page 11

Party divisions apparent in budget fight Democrats focus on education, but not enough, says GOP By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Democrat-majority state House passed a $23 billion budget on March 28 that will increase funding for education, aid flood and wildfire victims, and will bolster reserves by stashing away millions in “rainy day” dollars. But only one Republican voted for the annual “long bill” as GOP members blasted Democrats for not funding specific measures that are of importance to the minority party, including money for increased drunken driving penalties and what they are saying is not enough money for K-12 education. The passage of the 2014-2015 fiscal year budget came on the heels of several hours of debate that spanned two days as lawmakers wrangled over a long bill that comes with more dollars than last year’s, thanks in part to a state economy that continues to gain steam. “We are in a better place, we can make investments, we can start putting back the pieces that were harmed in the great recession,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver. The bill includes a general fund budget — made up of tax revenue that supports the operations of most state departments — of $8.7 billion, a $600 million increase over the current year’s budget. About half of the general fund dollars support K-12 and higher education, both of

which will receive significant increases in the new budget. Through the annual school finance act and the Student Success Act — school funding measures that are making their way through the Legislature — the budget will pump about $200 million in additional K-12 education funding that increase per-pupil funding by $200 per student. That money will also be used to enroll more kids in preschool and full-day kindergarten, as well as to fund English language learning programs. Higher education will receive an additional $100 million in funding, the majority of which will go toward student financial aid. “We are making a huge investment in our K-12 system,” Ferrandino said. “This is a responsible budget that sets us up for success in the future.” The budget also includes an additional $78 million in disaster relief funds. Money will be available to provide tax relief for homeowners who were impacted by last year’s floods and wildfires, something that was a top priority for the Legislature coming into this year’s session. In addition, the long bill includes 2.5 percent pay increases for state employees and Medicaid providers. Gov. John Hickenlooper will see a few things in the budget that he will surely use in his re-election campaign literature. That includes money that will update outdated computer technology at the Department of Motor Vehicles, which aims to significantly reduce wait times at DMV offices. And the state’s emergency reserves will in-

crease from 5 percent under this year to 6.5 percent, under the new budget. That was a key piece to Hickenlooper’s budget request to the Joint Budget Committee, prior to the start of the legislative session. The budget also includes about $50 million that will be set aside for bills that are currently going through legislative process.

Parties clash over funding areas

Lawmakers tend to fight more when there is an abundance of money, rather than during lean budget years. And that was the case in House on March 27 and 28, when more than 40 budget amendments were introduced by lawmakers who were seeking funding for various priorities. They included failed efforts by Republicans to set aside $1.7 million to pay for initial funding of a bill that would create a felony DUI in Colorado for repeat cases of drunken driving. That effort is being sponsored by Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, who is also running for attorney general. “Democrats stated they had set aside money for priorities, yet I cannot think of a bigger priority than protecting Colorado families from habitual drunk drivers,” Waller said through a statement issued after the first night of House debate. Republicans also blasted Democrats for not support GOP measures to increase funding for road construction and backfilling K-12 education budget cuts that has created the so-called “negative factor.” The budget includes $100 million that will be used to buy down the negative factor, but Republicans wanted that buy-down to be in-

creased by as much as $35 million more than what’s being proposed. House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, took issue with Democrats’ rejections of GOP proposals. “It’s tough for me to stand here and say this was a broad, bipartisan budget,” DelGrosso said. “We could have done so much more with the resources we have and we could have done it in a fiscally responsible way.” DelGrosso joined 26 other Republicans to vote against the budget. The only Republican to vote yes was Rep. Cheri Gerou of Evergreen, who is a member of the Joint Budget Committee. But Ferrandino said key Republican efforts are not dead. Chances are that Waller’s felony DUI bill will end up passing the House Appropriations Committee — something that Ferrandino assured Waller would happen, Waller told Colorado Community Media. Ferrandino said that Democrats could also get behind another GOP proposal to fund a pilot project for advanced placement students in rural communities, so long as Republicans do something to reduce the price tag of the program. The House speaker said the economy is doing better and the sate can do more things than it has been able to do in recent years. But that doesn’t mean that everyone’s going to get their way. “We still have to live in the realities of the budgets we have,” Ferrandino said. “There’s a lot of things I’d love to do in the budget, but at the end of the day, that budget has to be balanced.” The budget bill now heads to the Senate.

County approves business fee waivers Two operations get breaks from commissioners By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County commissioners unanimously approved two fee waiver requests at their March 25 land use meeting. Fee waivers are one of the incentives offered by the county for businesses looking to move to the county or expand within its borders. The commissioners waived $39.854.29 in fees for Colorado Studios, a company specializing in manufacture and operation of mobile TV production units. The company is responsible for 4,000 live sporting events, including the Colorado Rockies and the Colorado Avalanche. The fee waivers apply to a planned move to the HighField Business Park in the Meridian area, where the company will build a 39,877-square-foot assembly and production facility. The company hopes to move in January, general manager Phillip Garvin said. The company is currently located in

Commissioner Jill Repella said the company would add to Douglas County’s “diverse economy.” “This is a very unique thing that you do,” she said. The company also applied for a complete waiver of personal property tax and construction fee waivers. The commission also approved $6,511.31 in building permit fee waivers for Vantiv Inc., a financial services business headquartered near Cincinnati. Vantiv employs about 2,700 nationally and 30 in Douglas County, according to planning documents. The company is considering an expansion by leasing a 32,000-square-foot building at 367 Inverness Drive, increasing its workforce with 120 full-time IT and financial support jobs with an average annual salary of $100,000. The company also plans to enter a threeyear, $50 million consulting contract that will add 75 contractor jobs. “The project investment is estimated at $6 (million) at this time with an initial

$1.8 million capital investment in personal property to facilitate this proposed expansion,” Victoria Horton, director of the SC&H Group, which is assisting in the transition, wrote in a letter to the county. Vantiv also is requesting other local in-

centives, including a $500,000 cash grant, personal property tax abatement, discounted utility rates, 100 percent relief from local sales taxes and a waiver of all associated permitting fees. Those issues have not been decided yet.

Bill would make one-year changes to teacher-evaluation process Measure’s opposition wants permanent modifications By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com School districts would have greater flexibility in deciding how much weight student academic performance would have in evaluating teachers under a bill that passed a Senate committee on March 26. But Republicans who voted against the bill would rather let districts make that decision permanently, rather than the one-year freedom that the bill allows. Right now, school boards are required to establish a principal- and teacher-evaluation process that bases at least 5o percent of an educator’s annual evaluation on the academic growth of students’ standardized testing scores.

The weight of poor student performance can adversely impact educators facing evaluation, which critics of the current law say is unfair because districts may not have the resources to follow through with the requirements. The current requirement is mandated through 2010’s Senate Bill 191, which set a standard for educator performance evaluations. Senate Bill 165 would allow school districts to decide how much - if any - student test data will factor into an educator’s performance evaluation, for the 2014-15 school year. “This is a good compromise between moving forward (with the desire for sound academic requirements) and also being fair to students and education professionals across the state,” Sen. Andy Kerr, DLakewood, a bill sponsor, told the Senate Education Committee. Supporters of the legislation say that

districts are already having a difficult time shifting their focus toward new testing this year, without having to keep up with existing mandates. Schools are moving from Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) testing to a new system that will incorporate tests from a multistate consortium. The bill gives districts time to analyze the new student assessments before they’re used to evaluate teachers and principals. The 50 percent student test data threshold will still be used for the current school year, but in a “hold harmless” manner, meaning educators cannot be adversely affected at evaluation time. The bill received supportive committee testimony from key education groups. Jane Urschel, of the Colorado Association of School Boards, said the bill “provides considerable relief for teachers and administrators.” And Kerrie Dallman of the

Colorado Education Association said the bill gives districts “more time and training before high-stakes decisions are made about teachers.” The bill has Republican sponsorship in the House with Rep. Carole Murray, of Castle Rock. But the vote in the Democrat majority Senate Education Committee fell on party lines. Sen. Vicky Marble, R-Fort Collins, offered an unsuccessful amendment to the bill that would have allowed districts to decide the weight of student test data in educator evaluations on a permanent basis. Marble said that educators are buried in testing and evaluation mandates and that it’s unfair to ask districts to shoulder any more burdens. “I cannot support this bill for a year, but I can support this bill in perpetuity,” she said. The bill now heads for a vote in the full Senate.

Recall elections bill passes Senate on party lines Republicans say measure tramples state constitution By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Democrat-sponsored bill that would re-shape how Colorado voters cast ballots in recall elections passed the state Senate on March 28, as Republicans cried foul. The bill would allow people more time to vote and would provide more options for casting their ballots in recall elections — something that wasn’t possible during last fall’s historic legislative recalls, which resulted in the ousting of two Democratic Senate members. But Republicans blasted the effort as an end-run around the state constitution that is clearly aimed at driving higher Democratic turnout in recall elections. “Just because the constitution is an in-

convenient truth, it’s still the truth,” said Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, RColorado Springs, in a Senate debate that preceded the vote. Democrats say the idea behind Senate Bill 158 is to sync modern election code with outdated election language in the state constitution — which was written more than a century prior to last year’s recalls. The Colorado Constitution states that a candidate has up to 15 days prior to Election Day to submit enough signatures to appear on a recall ballot. The Democrat-sponsored bill would require candidates to submit signatures 15 days prior to when ballots are made available to voters, which occurs long before the actual day of the election. The changes would give county clerks more time to process mail ballots, something that didn’t happen during last year’s recalls — where Democratic Sens. John Morse of Colorado Springs and Angela Gi-

have become accustomed to, through the current general election process. “This is just taking the experience from last year and making our laws more understandable for everyone involved,” Steadman said. But Republicans blasted the bill for “running roughshod over the constitution.” They argued that the language in the constitution clearly defines that Election Day means just that — and not the weeks-long early voting process that Democrats say it is. “We’re redefining Election Day here and I don’t think that is something we can do,” said Sen. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley. “That is unconstitutional.” The bill now heads to the House after it passed the Senate following an 18-17 partyline vote. The result did not sit well with Republican Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch. “The Democrats lost multiple court battles to stop the recalls, they then lost two Senators to recall elections, so today they are attempting to amend the constitution without a vote of the people,” Harvey said. “Their disrespect of the voters of Colorado knows no bounds.”

Committee rejects audit for health insurance exchange effort By Vic Vela

ron of Pueblo lost their seats in elections that were spurred by their votes on guncontrol legislation. The elections were preceded by court battles that culminated with a Denver District Court judge ruling that the mailing of ballots could not be possible in those recalls. Sen. Matt Jones, D-Louisville, a bill sponsor, said that resulted in “terrible” voter turnout last year. Jones said that about 36 percent of eligible voters showed up to vote in Giron’s recall election, while only 21 percent of voters cast ballots in the Morse contest. Jones said that the lack of a mail ballot option particularly harmed military voters, the elderly and persons with disabilities, because they had a more difficult time getting to the polls on a single Election Day. “Nobody benefits from chaos, especially the voters,” Jones said. “This aligns the constitution in such a way so that people who want to vote can vote.” Jones also cited bill support from the nonpartisan County Clerk’s Association. Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, also a bill sponsor, said the bill “modernizes” recall elections in a way that Colorado voters

The bill had received overwhelming bipartisan support in the House, but the Senate Health and Human Services Committee rejected the legislation, with Democrats arguing that Connect for Health Colorado is already being scrutinized by independent auditors as well as the federal government. “I’m worried that we’re... throwing more government at them when they have already hired private people to look at their performance,” said Sen. Irene Aguilar, DDenver, the committee chairwoman. Connect for Health Colorado is the state’s health insurance marketplace for Coloradans who wish to shop for insurance opportunities that were made possible through the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ObamaCare. Earlier this year, the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Committee recommended on a 7-1 vote to grant the state auditor the ability to conduct a full performance audit of the health benefit exchange. The health exchange has received several millions of dollars in grant funding and Republican bill sponsors told the committee that it would be a good idea to make sure the money is being used correctly.

“One hundred and seventy-seven million dollars in federal grants is a lot of money and I think it’s prudent for Colorado to empower our state auditor to perform a performance audit,” Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial, told the committee. State Auditor Dianne Ray testified that any time a new program operates with a large amount of money behind it and it uses that money in a short period of time, it’s a good idea to examine its practices. Right now, Ray said her office is limited in the type of an audit it can conduct on the state health network. “We can’t look at anything outside of just the moneys,” she said. But Connect for Health Colorado CEO Patty Fontneau said the exchange has had four “clean” independent audits already. She also told the committee that the Internal Revenue Service has done a review of the exchange and that the benefit marketplace also reports to the federal government on a monthly basis. Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk, said it would be premature for the state to launch an audit of a new program, especially since auditors wouldn’t have any “best practice” measures for which to provide a comparison. “I think that they already have a number of audits that have demonstrated their performances have been far better than most of the health exchanges in the other states,” Nicholson said. Democratic Sens. Linda Newell of Littleton and John Kefalas of Fort Collins joined Nicholson and Aguilar in voting against the bill. Republican Sens. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs, Larry Crowder of Alamosa and Kevin Lundberg of Berthoud all voted no.

Plane crash kills pilot “It came straight down and crashed and caught on fire. I don’t know if the pilot died on impact or in the fire,” Teller said. An employee at the H2O Car Wash, one of the closest buildings to the crash site, said that the plane came from the west and said it appeared the plane was trying to land. Some employees went to help extinguish the fire from the crash, he said. The pilot missed several shopping centers and subdivisions, something the employee said was “pretty heroic.” “That area is pretty populated, not just with business but it’s a big residential area,” Teller said. “I don’t know what his intent was, if he was trying to land or what, but we’re fortunate that he was able to land in that area. It was a bad situation, but it could have been much worse.” Deborah Smith, a spokeswoman for the Centennial Airport, said she could not confirm whether the pilot took off from the airport on Saturday before it crashed but said the aircraft did have contact with

Experimental aircraft goes down in open field in Highlands Ranch By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia.com A small plane crashed in an open field behind businesses in Highlands Ranch, killing the pilot, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. The plane, a Sonerai II Experimental, crashed under unknown circumstances around 3 p.m. March 29 in an open field behind the SuperTarget in Highlands Ranch, near C-470 and Lucent Boulevard and about 8 miles southwest of the Centennial Airport, FAA spokesman Allen Kenitzer said in an email. The crash sparked a small fire, DCSO deputy Chad Teller said.

Children report luring attempt Castle Rock police issue reminder to parents By Ryan Boldrey rboldrey @coloradocommunitymedia.com After an incident involving a stranger approaching young children in Castlewood Ranch, Castle Rock police are issuing a reminder to families to speak with their kids about strangers. Castle Rock police received a call from a mother around 11 a.m. March 26 about a man in a black pickup who allegedly approached her children while they were outside playing. Ac-

cording to the report, the driver of the truck reportedly told the kids he would reward the first child to get in his truck with a prize and held up a piece of sidewalk chalk for them to see. The children ran away and told their mom, who later called police to report the incident. Police continue to investigate, and there have been no additional reports of this man, or other suspicious individuals attempting to lure children in Castle Rock. As weather begins to get nicer and more kids are playing outside, it is important for kids to be aware of their surroundings, and not talk to strangers, said Castle Rock town spokeswoman Caroline Kipp. The town has provided a few ad-

ditional safety tips from the National Crime Prevention Council for families and children to consider. These include: • Trust your instincts. • Adults should never ask children for help, for example help finding a lost dog. If an adult asks you for help, say no and tell a parent or trusted adult. • Never take gifts, like candy or toys, from a stranger. • Anything suspicious should be reported to police by calling 911. If anyone has any questions on stranger danger, this particular incident or anything further to report, they are asked to contact the Castle Rock Police Department’s non-emergency line at 303-663-6100.

for companies to continue to provide landline service. The components of the reform effort are similar to those that were included in a single bill that died in the Senate last year. This year’s effort looks promising, given its bipartisan support at the Legislature and the support of Gov. John Hickenlooper. All five bills emerged from the House Business, Labor, Economic and Workforce Committee with bipartisan support. They now head to the Appropriations Committee.

Booking photos for profit a crime under bill

A bill that would criminalize companies for posting people’s arrest mug shots and then charge a fee for them to be removed is on its way to the governor’s desk. Supporters of House Bill 1047 say companies often exploit arrestees for monetary gain by charging as much as hundreds of dollars to have booking photos taken down from websites. Under the bill, anyone could still obtain mug shots, which are public record. But people would have to sign a statement that declares they would not seek financial gain by doing so. The bill passed the House earlier this session and passed the Senate on March 25, following a 23-11 vote.

Bill requires prison time for drunken drivers who kill or injure others

A bill that would create mandatory prison sentences for convictions of vehicular homicide cases involving drugs or alcohol unanimously passed a House committee on March 26. Right now, it’s possible for those convicted of either killing or seriously injuring someone in an alcohol or drug-related accident to receive no more than probation. House Bill 1158, sponsored by Rep. Polly Lawrence, R-Douglas County, would require judges to sentence a defendant to at least the minimum prison term that is allowable by law, which is four years for a vehicular homicide case. The bill passed the House Judiciary Committee and will receive further consideration in the Appropriations Committee.

A Colorado Community Media Publication

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

Gone West

Wonderbound troupe offers new creation at PACE Center By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Wonderbound is a dance company under the direction of Garrett Ammon and Dawn Fay — 11 dancers who are known for unusual movement and collaboration with other artists in the community, as new works are created. The most recent creation is “Gone West,” with 11 new poems by Michael J. Henry, director of the Lighthouse Writers Workshop, and 10 new songs written by Denver musician Ian Cooke, a cellist

IF YOU GO

“Gone West” will be performed April 4-6 at the Performing Arts Complex at Pinnacle Charter School, 1001 W. 84th Ave., Federal Heights. Performances: 7:30 p.m. April 4, 5; 2 p.m. April 6. Tickets: 303-292-4700. On April 12 at 7:30 p.m. and April 13 at 2 p.m., “Gone West” will be presented at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker. Tickets: $22-$47, 303-8056800, wonderbound.com. with a popular band, which will accompany the dancers. Ammon writes of the “collection of beautifully flawed humans” brought to life in Henry’s poetry, while Cooke said, “My inspiration for `Gone West’ comes

from the relationships humans have with each other and the earth. I think periodic exposure to raw unfiltered nature gives us clarity and helps us sort out our issues … Nature can be harsh, but even when it causes traumatic events, it helps us evolve … telling this story together through dance, poetry and music is one of the best, most human ways to do so.” The performance is described as a Western journey that is a cross between Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” and a KOA Campground. Contemporary ballet draws on many sources, both new and traditional, to offer yet another way of telling stories to an audience. These are exceptional dancers.

Lakota elder, others to share teachings Public invited to attend Cub Scout program By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier @coloradocommunitymedia.com It was a six-hour late-night drive down to a pasture south of Lamar where a suffering bison cow lay — her shoulders broken from a fall from a chute during an attempted loading. Sid Whiting, 53, a Lakota elder in Denver, and three others had been asked by the bison’s owner to please drive down and help. The cow was in pain but the rancher couldn’t get near it, he told them. The rest of the herd, including several bulls, tried to attack him whenever he attempted to get close enough to try to shoot her and put her out of her misery. Whiting said the rancher called them because he had witnessed in the past how Whiting and those accompanying him had intriguingly been able to control a bull they were buying from him — by surrounding it on foot, pinning it to the fence, and then quickly executing it. And then prayers were said, gratitude given to the bull and the Great Creator.

This time, it was pitch black in the pasture when Whiting arrived. At the gate, they left the truck with the headlights illuminating the area where the buffalo cow lay. Whiting said they spent a lot of time praying, singing, before they tried to approach her. “We sang the six directions song, asking for help from the four directions … and the up and down,” he said. They were songs “to let the buffalo know what we were doing there,” Whiting said. The men were on foot and several times the bulls charged, getting as close as about five yards from them. But he said they were showing respect to the herd. “They knew we were there to help her.” And then the men watched as the herd, instead of charging them, started fighting amongst themselves. The men walked right up to the cow and shot her, ending her misery. The rancher gave the cow to them. It was cut up, to be used eventually for a free meal for a gathering of people in Denver. Whiting said after they loaded the meat and were leaving they noticed all of the bison were gone, just disappeared. And then as they left they saw the herd standing in line

along the fence. “It was an amazing experience,” Whiting said. Whiting said his people have a term, “The Big Holy,” to describe the oneness and interconnection between everything in the universe — the stars, people, rocks, the bison. Whiting, a member of the Denver-based Native American Sportsmen Association, and others in the group have been invited to give a talk to Cub Scouts, Pack 856, and the public April 9 at the DCS Montessori School. Whiting, whose family helped start the Denver Indian Center and the Tall Bull Memorial Grounds in Daniels Park, said the group’s mission is to “educate non-natives and natives about the spiritual, cultural, physical and mental Native American beliefs that we … incorporate on a daily basis, live those things, to help protect `Enchi Maka,’ Mother Earth,” he said. They also teach traditional ways of hunting. For this talk, there will be discussion about spirituality and examples of dances. Ryan J. Parker, a pack committee member, said each year a meeting topic for the Cub Scouts is about faith and spirituality. “That’s one of the fundamental

Shop offers fresh cup of student art Artwork by Englewood High School students will be exhibited at Nixon’s Coffee House, 871 Englewood Parkway, near the Englewood Civic Center, during April.

‘Hungry Girl’ to share diet gospel in Ranch Author will appear at Tattered Cover By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com In 10 years, Lisa Lillein, who started with sending a food-related email to 75 friends, has built a multimillion-dollar business. She sends daily emails to 1.2 million subscribers every weekday, appears on the Food Network and Cooking Channel, and is currently on a cross-country tour introducing her latest (11th) book, “The Hungry Girl Diet Book.” She will appear at the Highlands Ranch Tattered Cover at 7:30 p.m. April 11 to talk about her recipes and share some low-calorie snacks, as well as a gift bag of goodies from several food brand partners. Lillein’s focus is on super-sized servings that will satisfy the dieter while taking off pounds.

Sightseers get sights to see Denver visitors can peruse art at center By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com Denver’s iconic 40-foot-tall Blue Bear, titled “I See What You Mean,” now has more to look at as he peers into the Denver Convention Center. Eight new works of art were recently placed in the center to enhance the experience of the many visitors who trek through its exhibit spaces and halls. The artworks were paid for through a public-private partnership between the City and County of Denver and the convention center’s management company, SMG, which commissioned the project. Total cost was $235,000. The pieces mark the introduction of Denver’s newly announced cultural plan, “IMAGINE 2020,” and were selected through NINEdotARTS, a local cultural consultant, with representatives from Denver Arts and Venues, Visit Denver, SMG and members of the Denver arts community. The focus was on Denver artists and galleries. Half of the artists are younger than 35, although Denver veterans Roland Ber-

“The Heavy is the Root of the Light,” a 95-by-95-foot painting by Mindy Bray, is on the wall behind the escalator at the Denver Convention Center. Courtesy photo nier and Phil Bender are also included. For Bernier, it’s the largest installation in his 60-year career of creating art from words (“Wall of Words”). Choices range from traditional landscape through Bernier’s words and Bender’s license plates to Mindy Bray’s huge mural and Ian Fisher’s images of clouds and sky. (Museum of Outdoor Arts in Englewood recently exhibited his work.)

On the wall by the two-story escalator that carries one up to the exhibition halls is a 95-by-95-foot site-specific mural by Mindy Bray, titled “The Heavy is the Root of the Light.” It is based on photographs of the Platte River nearby at Confluence Park and speaks of the flow of pedestrians as well as that of the river. The title is a line from the Tao Te Ching.

She has taught at the University of Denver and Metropolitan State University and exhibited nationally. Her artist statement reads: “All visual experience is filtered, as the brain categorizes and creates patterns in order to attempt an understanding of what is being experienced …. My works on paper and on the wall describe an intersection of the natural world and built environments ….” Other new public art at the convention center: • “I Know You Know That I Know” by Sandra Fettingis. • “Untitled (Ocular Series) by Mike McClung. • “Wall of Words” by Roland Bernier. • “Boulder Creek-Autumn 08 #1” by James Cook. • “Atmosphere No. 27, 37 and 44” by Ian Fisher. • “Untitled 88” by Derrick Velasquez. • “License Plates” by Phil Bender.

Scout praised for helping boy in pool Castle Rock teenager gets rare award By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Last June, Castle Rock boy Riley Turner was in the process of earning his swimming merit badge at Peaceful Valley Boy Scout Camp in Elbert County — learning how to be safe and how to rescue people. He was still working on the badge when, five days into camp, he rescued someone. Riley, now 13, recently was awarded the Boy Scouts’ Medal of Merit for the rescue — which his dad called a rare honor. “(There are) less people that get this award than make Eagle Scout,” his father, Chris Turner, said recently. Riley, 12 then, said he was in the pool for a free-swim opportunity after a swim practice when he started to hear someone “kind of yelping.” Riley, who was in the 8-foot-deep area, turned to his left and saw a smaller boy, perhaps age 10, in the 6-foot-deep area. “At first I thought he was kind of joking around, playing a game,” Riley said. But he saw the boy was flailing his arms, then screaming for help. Riley said he thought for a second about what he should do and decided he should swim over and grab the child.

He said he wasn’t worried about being able to handle the younger boy: “I was 110 pounds, and he was maybe 80 to 90 pounds,” Riley said. He grabbed the waist of the younger boy, who then “latched onto my shoulders,” Riley said. He then swam for the edge, holding onto the child. “He was choking on water,” Riley said. Another boy, possibly the boy’s brother or a fellow scout, lifted the child out of the pool and thanked Riley. An adult started patting the rescued boy on the back and walked away with him, Riley said. That day there were Boy Scouts from all over the metro area at the camp, possibly some from out of state, as it was a free day at the pool. They were never able to locate and identify the boy Riley rescued. But Matt Maranto, of Denver, who investigated the case and is a member of the Boy Scouts’ Denver Area Council Advancement Committee, said “it was determined through interviews and witness statements that he clearly displayed critical thinking and lifesaving skills that (Riley) learned in scouting, as he assessed the situation and determined that he could rescue the swimmer without putting himself at substantial risk.” “On June 27, 2013, demonstrating unusually mature critical thinking, outstanding application of his scout training, and appropriate management of risk

to self, Riley Turner rescued a struggling swimmer …,” Maranto stated in an email. This award is given to a scout or adult leader “who has performed some outstanding act of service of a rare or exceptional character that reflects an uncommon degree of concern for the well-being of others,” according to information provided by Maranto. Both Maranto and Riley said the pool’s lifeguard had noticed the boy struggling and was heading to help, but Riley was closer and got there first. Riley, an eighth-grader at Mesa Middle School, has been scouting for nine years and said he wasn’t a good swimmer until he joined Boy Scouts. He now calls himself a confident swimmer and thanks his two aquatic instructors for that: Sylvia Worcester, aquatics trainer, and Tim Benson, assistant scoutmaster and aquatics trainer. Boy Scout rules require always having a buddy with you while swimming, who should be close enough to be the first to help if there’s trouble, Chris Turner said. This little boy apparently didn’t do that, he said. Riley’s mother, Phyllis Turner, said he thinks her son is a “great example for younger scouts, that they can learn how to do these things — and it’s a reflection on the people that trained him to learn the skills he needed to take the measures he took to save that scout.” Phyllis Turner said Riley, scouting

Riley Turner, 13, of Castle Rock, recently received the Boy Scout’s Medal of Merit, for rescuing a younger scout last year who was struggling in the deep end of a swimming pool at Peaceful Valley Boy Scout Camp in Elbert County.

Students’ excitement invigorates classroom Bye-bye boredom, says winner of Apple Award By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Highlands Ranch fifth-grade teacher Jenny Henry has turned the reins of education over to her students. “I’m no longer the expert,” said Henry, a Copper Mesa Elementary School teacher whose teaching style recently was recognized with a Douglas County School District Apple Award. “We know kids are capable of wonderful things. But you have no idea, when you hand that power over to them, just how they take off.” Henry, a 12-year DCSD teacher, said she embraced a shift in teaching that encourages more student collaboration and less teacher-focused instruction. “It made sense to me,” she said. “It just spoke to the core of who I am and what I believe about what we give to kids, our role as teachers, how important what we’re doing is. I plowed ahead with the idea of kids being more empowered in the classroom, myself taking on the role of a facilitator instead of just delivering the information to kids.” Henry describes the change as a “power shift” that excited both the students and her. “There’s not a single kid who’s bored anymore; they’re practically sprinting to get in the door,” she said. “Three of my kids were practically in tears because they said, `We don’t want spring break.’ That tells me we’re doing

something right.” Henry lit that spark at the beginning of the 2013-14 academic year by asking all her students to answer a single, profound question: Why does the world need me? The responses she got Henry delighted and amazed her. One student said she would start her own business, and donate the proceeds to a hospital. Another wanted to create and sell a miniature solar-powered water purifier on a buy-one, get-one-free basis, so the second purifier could be donated to a country in need. Another wanted to explore the merits of cross-breeding a salamander and a newt. “I never told him that wasn’t possible,” Henry said. “I just allowed him to explore that. “I’ve set up a room where it’s safe to explore and take those chances. It’s OK to fail.” Henry, the 37-year-old single mom of a toddler, said her love of teaching has reached a new level. “I think this has definitely brought back that passion and excitement for teaching,” she said. Reinvigorated as she is about teaching, Henry never thought it would lead to an award. “It’s an honor to be a teacher,” she said, “and to be in a district that supports innovative, world-class education. “I do believe it’s what’s best for kids. They guide everything I do every day.”

Centennial resident John Bauer describes the surgery that eased his Parkinson’s disease symptoms as a small miracle. “I have an increase in energy and just feel overall better,” said the 66-year-old, diagnosed with the disease 10 years ago. “Now I only take one Parkinson’s medication, and that’s 50 percent of what it was. I used to take three (medications).” Bauer underwent a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation at Littleton Adventist Hospital. Dr. David VanSickle, who also performs the procedure at Lone Tree’s Sky Ridge Medical Center, inserts electrodes into the brains of those suffering from Parkinson’s disease. The electrical stimulation blocks abnormal nerve signals that cause many of Parkinson’s most troublesome symptoms. “If not the most, it’s one of the most effective treatments,” VanSickle said. “Quality of life will improve 25 to 30 percent.” About 60,000 people are diagnosed with the disease annually. VanSickle is among a handful of doctors nationally who perform the procedure while patients are asleep. That not only

reduces patients’ stress, it cuts down on the time required for surgery and allows VanSickle greater accuracy in placing the electrodes. The surgical treatment is most effective for treating the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s, including tremors, rigidity and limited facial expression. That final symptom “hurts their relationships with their family members,” VanSickle said, because loved ones are unable to read facial expressions. “People do it for the tremor,” he said. “But the number one result they like is the facial expressions. I hear people say, ‘Thank you for giving me my wife or husband back. This is the person I married.’” After years of living with the disease, Bauer’s symptoms worsened significantly in 2013, prompting him to move forward with the surgery. “The biggest thing I’ve noticed is when I’m driving,” he said. “Before, I was really afraid to drive; it was just the way my nervous system was reacting.” Bauer now drives with ease and confidence. Because he’s caring for his ailing wife, that’s vital for them both. “I trained as a neurosurgeon, but I fell in love with this patient population,” VanSickle said. “You make half as much as you would as a spine surgeon. But they are really nice people. And they get quite a bit better. I believe in it.”

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Stefanie and Nathan Simpson learned an important lesson on a roadside in the middle of nowhere: “Baby comes when baby comes.” After relatively routine births with their first three daughters, the couple was not expecting a nontraditional labor with their fourth. The two spent most of the afternoon March 23, the baby’s due date, at Parker Adventist Hospital, waiting on what turned out to be a false alarm, they learned the baby would be arriving on her own time. Two days later, the family, including girls ages 21 months through 5 years, were piling into their car in the early morning light. The contractions were coming closer together, but “I thought I had time to get to the hospital,” Stefanie said. The couple had moved one week earlier from Aurora to Falcon, a town east of Colorado Springs. Stefanie’s obstetrician is based at Parker Adventist, and she was willing to make the commute. It turned out that Karaline Annabelle was not. Nathan called 9-1-1 and was told to pull over on Highway 83, just north of County Line Road in southeastern Douglas County. Paramedics from two departments — the Franktown Fire Protection District and Tri-Lakes Monument Fire Protection District — were en route. Nathan could hear sirens in the distance as the baby crowned. Karaline didn’t scream. She came out wide-eyed and alert, taking in the “whirlwind” scene around her, probably wondering all the while what the commotion was about. Her sisters — Kirina, Kaelynn and Kenna — watched in amazement. Karaline was halfway out when emergency personnel first reached the vehicle. With the temperature hovering around 15 degrees, the newborn was wrapped in aluminum blankets. Nathan, seated on the side of a hospital bed alongside his beaming wife, calmly recounted the story with Karaline in his arms. He admitted that he was not so composed during the birth. “I have three other daughters so I know what’s going on and knew what

Karaline Annabelle Simpson rests after being born hours earlier on the side of Highway 83. Her parents, Stefanie and Nathan Simpson, were en route to the hospital with their three girls when Nathan had to pull over to begin to deliver her. Photo by Chris Michlewicz to do, but the fact that I actually needed to (deliver) was a little bit different,” he said. “I was pretty sure you were freaking out,” Stefanie interjected. “I was freaking out a little bit,” he admitted. “And then after the adrenaline rush and the ambulance left, I kind of had shock take over.” The first to arrive on scene — a volunteer firefighter who later said he had never before delivered a baby — drove the frayed father and his girls to the hospital. The ambulance took mom and baby separately, much to the surprise of the couple’s 21-month-old. In spite of the fact that “Karaline was a little impatient,” Nathan says, she entered the world quickest. Stefanie endured extended periods of labor when having their first three children. Karaline took 45 minutes to deliver, and arrived at 7 pounds, 1 ounce, and 20 inches long. The ordeal hasn’t steered the couple away from plans to have “at least one more” child, said Nathan, who has three younger sisters of his own. He is happily resigned to being completely outnumbered by females for the rest of his life. The couple welcomed the media attention, saying that the story will be told at birthdays and, one day, at Karaline’s wedding, where she will presumably arrive on schedule.

Girls team: League of their own Girls team features four seniors, a junior and a sophomore By Jim Benton

jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com After learning about the six players selected to Colorado Community Media’s All South Metro Girls Basketball Team, one coach commented that she could win with this squad.

Vista and Rock Canyon’s Lexy Thorderson. But still, there is plenty of rebounding ability, and all six players are scoring threats. The 6-foot Thorderson, a senior who will play next season for San Diego State, was a problem for opposing defenses to contain this year because she could score from long range and also do damage in the paint. She led the Continental League with a 17.8 scoring average and made 73 3-point

Rounding out the team are Chase Foster of Valor Christian, Chaparral’s Jake Holtzmann, Ethan Brunhofer of Arapahoe and Rock Canyon’s Mitch Lombard.

Ready to rock ‘n’ roll

Douglas County roller derby team features unique names, awesome serious athletes

2014 schedule Feb. 22 - Ark Valley High Rollers 338, Castle Rock `n’ Rollers 68 April 19 - at Salt Creek Roller Girls, Casper, Wyo. May 17 - vs. Grand Junction Roller Girls at Douglas County Events Center June 7 - vs. Happy Valley Derby Darlins at Douglas County Events Center

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Part of the lore and culture of roller derby stems from the nicknames used by the skaters. Teammates seldom use given names when addressing each other and instead call each other by their derby names, which are earned after learning the sport and passing basic skills tests. Douglas County has its own women’s flat track roller derby team, the Castle Rock `n’ Rollers, which has bouts scheduled this year at the Douglas County Events Center and the Parker Fieldhouse. Some of the derby names of the Rock `n’ Rollers include Awesomesauce, Anesta TizHer, DebT Collector, Evie Rider, Fran-Tik, Boozy McBruisy, Stolie Roller, Skatie Golucky, Lickety Splat, Freudian Slipknot and Wicked Bliss. No two derby names in the world are the same but some might be similar. There is an international registry of names. Skating officials, non-skating officials, announcers and even derby volunteers participate in the roller derby name custom. Skaters often name themselves but teammates, friends and families help to invent a creative name. Some derby names can be somewhat controversial. In the 1950s and 1960s the Na-

tional Roller Derby League was popular and several networks would telecast bouts. However the sport became tarnished and regarded as an entertainment vehicle with theatrical elements. Roller derby, with hopes of becoming a professional or Olympic sport, has started to regain its popularity, and there is a move to legitimize the sport. “A lot of our roller derby names are pretty tame,” said Awesomesauce (Mandy Erwin). “There are some that have curse words or a play on words that are not appropriate for family TV. The people that really want this to become a professional sport, an Olympic sport, want their own names because they’ve worked hard to be there. “But the roller derby name tradition is sort of neat too. So a lot of people are on the fence. It is highly debated in the derby community. I respect the right for people to use whatever names they want but they also have to respect the fact that not everybody is going to want to hear their names. Some of the best teams in the country didn’t wait for discussion, they came out at the nationals with their own names.” Evie Rider (Eve Crenshaw) and Fran-Tik (Francey Garbett) are the

team captains for the Castle Rock `n’ Rollers. “Names are earned and girls work hard to earn those names,” explained Evie Rider who makes her living as a gardener. “It’s sort of fun to have this alter ego away from my real life. “A lot of times people make the connection of who I am and find out what I do for a living and that I’m a captain for a roller derby team as well, so it’s OK that I’m not using my real name. I feel like part of roller derby is your derby name.” Most of the team’s skaters live in Castle Rock, Parker, and Highlands Ranch with a few coming from Colorado Springs, Kiowa and Littleton. There is an assortment of daytime occupations for the skaters on the team that includes homemakers, a fitness instructor and others who work in counseling, school districts, police departments, debt collections and human resources. “We do have a good mix,” said Awesomesauce. “The media used to play the news angle of roller derby by night and CEO by day. But we feel like we’ve kind of got past that because we’re athletes. One thing we all have in common is the love for the sport.”

Castle Rock ‘n’ Rollers captains Fran-Tek (Francey Garbett) and Evie Rider (Eve Crenshaw) Photo by Jim Benton The Castle Rock `n’ Rollers practice twice a week and have nine bouts on the schedule with a possible 10th, if a makeup date can be arranged. Skaters pay $40 monthly dues to help cover the cost for the practice facility plus standard equipment like a medical kit and tape to set up the track. Rental cost of the venues for bouts is covered by ticket sales. “It takes a serious commitment from the women,” pointed out Awesomesauce. “It’s hard when this is your part-time hobby. It’s something that smaller teams like ours sometimes struggle with. We practice twice a week but some teams practice four or five times a week. “It’s a huge commitment when

you have a day job that pays your bills. So far nobody is paid to do roller derby. All of us are volunteers, including the referees and officials. It is a year-round sport.” Roller derby is also a physical sport aside from the usual bumps and bruises received in practice and bouts. “It can be a rough sport,” said Awesomesauce. “It is a contact sport… The equipment has stepped up to be concussion proof. We take safety seriously. “We go by doctors’ orders. We have a training committee and a board of directors on our team and most teams do have set policies. We have a process for coming back. You have to have notes from your doctor that you have been cleared to skate.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF MaR 31, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to apr 19) Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes isn’t easy for you. But if you do it, you’ll gain a better perspective of what you need to do to achieve your goals. Be open to new ideas. TAURUS (apr 20 to May 20) There are still some problems you might have to deal with before moving on to your next project. It’s a good idea to accept help from those who share your objectives. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) It’s time to recognize the difference between those who are truly concerned for you and those who simply plan to use your good nature to their advantage. New ideas become increasingly attractive.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Depending on a promise made becoming a promise kept could be more than a mite unwise at this time. It’s best to proceed on your own rather than wait for aid that might never arrive. LEO (Jul 23 to aug 22) a recently revitalized relationship might not be quite what the Big Cat expected. But give yourself more time to deal with the changes. a little flexibility can go a long way. Good luck. VIRGO (aug 23 to Sept 22) a major change could prompt more adjustments. Some of them might be difficult to deal with at first. But hang in there, and before you know it, you’ll be coasting to your next goal. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your sense of justice prompts you to speak out against an unfair situation, even if you seem to be the only one who feels that way. But you soon learn that many others agree with you. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Creating a fuss is not usually your style. But that doesn’t mean you should tolerate an ill-mannered attitude. Speak up for yourself, and you’ll earn the respect of others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You might have a few loose ends to tie up before you can stamp your project as complete. But once that’s done, you might want to celebrate with someone special in your life. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Disappointment darkens the Goat’s mood. But close friends rally to pull you through with words of encouragement. Use their confidence in you to rebuild your own self-esteem. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) an upcoming decision might be more difficult with inaccurate information. Best to recheck the data you have at hand right now to be sure it won’t mislead you later. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) an offer you previously turned down might no longer be available. But if you do some checking around, you could find something else that would suit you just fine. BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in helping those who cannot help themselves. although it embarrasses you, the fact is, people like you and tell you so. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
