Manna not typical hospital restaurant Castle Rock Adventist offers rotating, seasonal menu By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle Rock Adventist Hospital’s Manna restaurant is more than simply a hospital cafeteria. The restaurant utilizes a modern dining room and open kitchen, wait staff and a rotating seasonal menu that includes such dishes as elk steak salad with bulgur wheat and seared salmon spring rolls. In addition to the sit-down dining room, Manna Market sells coffees and grab-and-go meals along with retail items. Manna is overseen by Chef de Cuisine and Johnson & Wales graduate Adam Freisem. “I would say that the majority of the people in here at any given time are not patients at the hospital. They’re from out in the community,” Freisem said. “In a typical hospital, evenings and weekends are dead, totally dead. You come in here on Friday night and we’re packed.” Freisem came to Castle Rock, along with Daniel Skay, nutrition manager and executive chef at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, from Parker Adventist Hospital. “The big thing that we noticed over there was that we had a cafeteria setup, and pa-
Douglas County’s employment numbers continue to draw closer to pre-recession levels at a quicker pace than others, something that can be directly attributed to a fresh mindset, says county Commissioner Jill Repella. When the Great Recession hit “we really intentionally put forth efforts to make sure that we were listening to the business community, understanding their concerns, streamlining our regulatory process, shortening our permit process and really supporting their efforts in getting their businesses open,” she said. The result has been company after company moving into Douglas County, which Repella has helped to bring the unemployment rate down to 4.4 percent, the lowest it has been since it was 4.3 in October 2008, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. During the Great Recession, it got as high as 7.6, up from a pre-recession low of 2.7 in April 2007. But along with changing how the county conducted business, and partnering more effectively with local municipalities, Douglas County wasn’t affected as much as other areas and things just continue to get better, Repella said. A report from the bureau released June 19, showed that the county’s employment gains were up 5.2 percent from the end of 2012 to the end of 2013. The data placed the county in a tie with California’s Sonoma County for the third greatest gains over that timeframe nationwide, trailing only Lee County in Florida (5.5 percent) and nearby Weld County (6 percent). Weld and Douglas were the only Colorado counties in the top 10, and while Weld County’s gains are tied mainly to the oil and gas industry, Douglas’ can be attributed to a growing reputation of being businessJobless continues on Page 15

tients and their families would come in, and you know they don’t want to be there unless they’re having a baby,” Freisem said. “People came in and they wouldn’t know what to do. They would kind of walk around with their tray and they would leave and go somewhere else. They would say, ‘I don’t want to do this.’ So we thought, ‘Why can’t we do that in a hospital?’”

Castle Rock explores TABOR solutions Town might avoid surplus with change in strategy
Explore options for and impacts of refunding the money. Provide alternatives to the method and/or structure of town receipt of capital revenue contributions.
By Mike DiFerdinando
Election ideas weighed
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com In April, the Castle Rock Town Council first visited the issue of TABOR. According to Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, when annual revenues exceed TABOR limits, Town Council has until the end of the following year to either refund the money in some manner, or ask voters to keep the money to spend on local services. Castle Rock has been successful in obtaining funds from other sources to help fund capital improvement projects in the town. For the North Meadows Extension project, the town has a $4.6 million funding commitment from the Colorado Department of Transportation toward the interchange at U.S. Highway 85; a $10.5 million agreement with Douglas County toward funding the portion of the roadway between U.S. 85 and Interstate 25; and an agreement with Castle Rock Development Co. for more than $7 million in phased funding, which ultimately will be used toward widening the road from two to four lanes. This totals more than $22 million. These contributions, however, will contribute heavily to the substantial excess in TABOR revenue estimates for 2014 and 2015.
Three options eyed
For 2014, excess TABOR revenue is projected to be $7.4 million, and for 2015, excess revenue of $2.8 million is estimated. The town has explored three possible options for dealing with the TABOR issue: Poll the community regarding a ballot question to exempt from TABOR limits any revenues from developers and nonfederal governments for capital/construction projects.
According to town polling done in May, this November might not be an opportune time to put such a question forward to voters, as there still is a relatively low level of familiarity with TABOR within the community. November 2015 or April or November 2016 are seen as possible better options, as they would allow time for public education to be completed ahead of placing any question on the ballot. If an election is not scheduled until 2016, the town would either have to refund the 2014 surplus amount to taxpayers, or make changes this year that would resolve the excess revenues.
Refunds would bump projects There are several options for refunding the money to the taxpayers. Refunds would be in the range of $325 to $350 per household and business for the projected 2014 surplus, payable by the end of 2015. The projected 2015 TABOR excess of $2.8 million would result in refunds of $120 to $135 per household and business, payable by the end of 2016. In the scenario presented to the council, issuing refunds would necessitate the deferral of capital improvement projects planned for 2016 until 2017 or later. Currently, no TABOR surplus is projected for 2016 payable by the end of 2017.
Possible changes discussed Alternatives to the method and structure of how the town receives capital revenue contributions was also discussed. Options include deferring a $4.6 million contribution for the North Meadows project from the Colorado Department of Transportation to 2015, allowing the county to directly pay the
contractor $10.5 million for work on North Meadows and setting up direct payment to contractors by other public or private entities, such as the Parks Foundation or metro districts. This course appears possible for both the North Meadows Extension and Philip S. Miller Park projects, as well as for future projects. Some changes already are in motion, which have a good likelihood of resolving any excess TABOR revenue issue for 2014. However, a TABOR issue still could be expected to exist in 2015, even with these changes.
Staff offers suggestions
Staff recommended using the alternative means of doing business to try to manage the TABOR issue to the extent possible, while continuing public education on TABOR and maintaining the town’s strategic goal of submitting to the voters a TABOR measure at some point. “I would recommend that we vote this down and continue to work toward a refund for our people,” District 6 Councilmember George Teal said. “If you look at the numbers, we’re over $300. Refunds, the people of Castle Rock have not got for a decade now, and we’ve been through some tough, tough times. During the course of the election I looked people in the face and told them I would not take away their TABOR refund.” The council voted 6-1 to continue with the staff’s recommendations. “I think it makes sense to do our best to manage these expenses coming in and continue an education processes. I do think at some point we are going to be able to put this out on the ballot, and at that point, we let the taxpayers tell us what they want to do,” Mayor Paul Donahue said. “If they say we want this refund over these future capital projects, then I’m in favor of that. I think it’s great. But in this particular situation, just because the money we are talking about is coming in from those outside entities, that’s the main reason that I don’t think now is the right time to be talking about that. Let’s try to manage this. Get this project done as best we can and move forward in 2015.”

Baby Boomers May Avoid Knee Surgery With Modern Arthritis Treatments
Doctors say these two factors are the keys to knee arthritis treatment success and relieving pain without surgery By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer
earlier we can treat knee arthritis - the better the results. The key to avoiding El Paso County - Everyone has knee replacement surgery is doing the said it at one time or another. If I had correct treatments as soon as possible.” only known about “this” sooner - things What is the “correct would be very different today. treatment?” That’s what many knee arthritis pain “That depends, there is no one answer sufferers are saying about this technolwhen it comes to medical conditions and ogy and treatment. knee arthritis is no different. That’s why, “We all know that countless lives if you have knee pain, you should have are being saved every year because of it evaluated by a doctor who deals with early detection and better treatment of and treats knee pain every day,” stated cancer,” one of the physicians at Osteo the clinics director of services.

I believe we are having tion. In this treatment, a preparation of so much success at Osteo Relief Institute Hyaluronic acid (such as Hyalgan) is because of two factors: One is we are injected directly into the knee joint. using advanced medical technology and Hyaluronic acid is a natural lubritreatments a lot of clinics do not use. cant and shock absorber of your joints And second, the word has spread to our and is found to be decreased in arthritis community and so many knee arthritis sufferers. This is similar to running your sufferers are coming in sooner. And the car low or without oil. Obviously, the
sooner you put oil back in the car - the less damage will be done. That’s why some doctors feel early viscosupplementation gets the best results and is so important for avoiding surgery. And the Doctors believe one of the most important factors for the success of viscosupplementation is making sure you are getting it into the joint space. That’s why the doctors at Osteo Relief Institute use advanced imaging technology called a “C-Arm.” A C-Arm allows the doctor to see into the joint and actually watch the injection go where it is supposed to. Research shows that performing injections without digital imaging can result in missing the joint space as much as 30% of the time. If you had viscosupplementation treatments without advanced imagining and did not get good results this may be why. “If you have knee arthritis pain,

viscosupplementation might be the answer you are looking for. The keys are to not wait, get a good evaluation from an expert and make sure advanced digital imaging (C-Arm) is used to make sure you have the best chance for success.” was the advice of the doctors at the Osteo Relief Institute.
Free Knee Pain Screenings Offered To Help Determine If Colorado Springs Area Residents Qualify For Popular Treatment El Paso County area knee pain sufferers have limited time to claim knee pain screening to see if all-natural knee arthritis treatment might work for them
If you qualify for this treatment, it might be one of the happiest days of your life. That’s because, this year, hundreds of knee pain sufferers have flocked to Osteo Relief Institute located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. That’s when their specially trained doctors added Hyalgan treatments to their already successful and comprehensive knee pain relief program. Hyalgan is unique because - even though it is manufactured by a pharmaceutical company, it is in NOT considered a drug because it is a natural substance with an incredible story. Why So Many Want It You see, when you suffer with arthritis - the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in your knee joint dries up. This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other. This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating. Like “Joint Oil” Hyalgan works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance that contains one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee. Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb - that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated. When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. Hyalgan allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain. Can Supplements Do The Same Thing? No. Glucosamine and chondroitin and other supplements are much different. You can only get this from a doctor and it often helps knee pain sufferers who got limited or no success from
Everyone Wants Proof: In the artist simulated drawings above, picture #1 is a normal, pain-free knee. There is no arthritis and the knee can move and bend freely without pain
glucosamine and chondroitin. Beware of unsubstantiated claims made by supplements that claim to do what this advanced medical procedure does. Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results... “We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose video fluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyaglan exactly where is needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the head of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute. Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology. And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most pain relief and the best possible results from treatment. “Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time. But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one doctor. How To Get It If you have knee pain, Dr. M. Swanson M.D. and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and the P.A.C.E program. All you have to do is call 719-323-6612 right now and when the
Advanced Medical Technology Can Make All The Difference: This advanced digital imaging called a C-arm allows doctors to see directly into the knee joint so treatments are precise and the Hyalgan actually goes where it is supposed to. Studies show that injections done without digital imaging can miss the joint up to 30% of the time. This is one reason Hyalgan or other Viscosupplementation may not have worked for you. Osteo Relief Institute uses this C-arm for every Hyalgan treatment. scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your risk free “Knee Pain Screening.” The specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can only accept a limited amount of new patients each month for this screening - so if you are interested please call now. Your risk free screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions answered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain. And here’s something really important - Hyalgan treatments and the P.A.C.E program are covered by most insurance and Medicare. To schedule your screening today call 719-323-6612.
Pain - the red is a knee joint with painful osteo-arthritis. Arthritis causes the joint space to decrease, grinding, stiffness, decreased motion, bone spurs, swelling and a lot of pain.
Non-Surgical Spine Pain, Neuropathy, And Joint Arthritis Treatment
If You Can Answer Yes - You Are Eligible For A Knee Arthritis Screening With The Experts At Osteo Relief Institute Do you have pain and oteoarthritis (arthritis) of the knee? Have you tried other treatments such as NSAIDS and other anti-inflamatory medications without success? Have you already tried viscosupplementation (Hyalgan, Supartz, Synvisc) without satisfactory results?
If you answered yes to any of these questions - give Osteo Relief Institute a call and schedule your risk free knee pain screening 719-323-6612
Successful Treatment - Hyalgan (blue) being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using hologic digital imaging. Advaced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.
Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of hologic digital imaging to guide the injection. This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.

The jury announced its verdict June 19, after nearly two full days of deliberation. Galley, 24, of Northglenn, will be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 22 at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center in Castle Rock. He was found guilty on two counts of attempted first-degree murder with extreme indifference, a class-1 felony. The jury also found him culpable for first-degree assault, burglary and vehicular eluding. He was found not guilty on one count of attempted first-degree murder with extreme indifference, and guilty on a lesser charge of attempted reckless manslaughter for another. Galley became emotional after the verdicts Galley were announced. He faces 257 years in prison if he is sentenced by Douglas County District Court Judge Richard Caschette to the maximum number of years allowed by law.
ColoradoRenaissance.com Information 303-688-6010
One after another, a line of police officers took the stand and said they feared for their lives during the February 2013 high-speed chase from Castle Rock to Parker. Galley sat quietly at the defense table, dressed in a vest, button-up shirt and tie throughout the six-day trial at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center. Officers from various agencies testified at length about a “chaotic” scene at the Taco Bell on Plum Creek Parkway in Castle Rock on Feb. 22, 2013, saying Galley used a stolen Dodge Ram 3500 to repeatedly ram undercover vehicles to escape an organized arrest on a felony warrant for assault on an officer. Once he had enough room to maneuver, Galley drove over the legs of Commerce City police Detective Rob Feeney, who was thrown to the ground when his truck was hit. He underwent multiple surgeries after suffering a torn ACL, broken nose and injured shoulder. Commerce City police Detective Jeremy Jenkins testified that speeds reached 125 mph on Crowfoot Valley Road, where Galley turned off his headlights for about 10 seconds and veered into oncoming traffic, forcing drivers off the road. He blew through 28 traffic lights and five stop signs without stopping. Jenkins and Broomfield police Sgt. Erik Fredrick told jurors that the driver they were chasing fired two shots in their direction. Fredrick, who was holding an M4 assault rifle during the chase, testified that he was prepared to use lethal force if the driver exited the truck. Three Parker police officers took the stand June 13, including Greg Epp, who was forced to run up a hill to avoid being run over by the speeding truck when it drove off the road and through a ditch to miss a set of
spike strips. “I got out of there as fast as I could… so I didn’t get hit and killed,” Epp said. Jurors watched dash-cam footage from the officers’ patrol vehicles. In one video, the truck can be seen rounding a curve and nearing the officers staged on Crowfoot Valley Road just south of Stroh Road. Shouts of “Here he comes!” can be heard. Three Parker officers shot at the vehicle after it passed by, including Epp, who fired six times. One of his rounds hit Gwen Devilbiss, the rearseat passenger in the truck, in the arm. David Vasquez, who was in the passenger seat, has been charged and will be tried separately. The chase ultimately ended in the Clarke Farms subdivision, where Galley tried to carjack a woman who was dropping off a friend. Believing that Galley was driving, police chased her for a short time and ordered her out of her vehicle at gunpoint. The occupants of the truck, meanwhile, fled on foot. They were apprehended hours later and a .22-caliber handgun was found in a backyard.
Driver afraid, lawyer says
District Attorney George Brauchler delivered a pointed closing argument, methodically comparing the criteria for finding a defendant guilty with the details of the case. Galley pleaded not guilty to the charges. He was originally charged with 39 separate counts, but the number was whittled down to 18 through various hearings leading up to the trial. Emily Wickham, Galley’s defense counsel, said her client was driving recklessly and there was insufficient evidence to justify the attempted firstdegree murder charges, among others. “This isn’t a case where Mr. Galley goes into a shopping mall and starts shooting randomly,” she said. Brauchler said Galley showed no regard for the value of human life. “He would do anything to get away (from police),” the DA said. “If he hurt or killed them in the process of getting away, he didn’t care.” During her closing statement, Wickham argued that Galley was afraid the police would kill him and “panicked” when they tried to arrest him. She said she was not asking for them to set Galley free, but to find him guilty of lesser charges. But that’s not what happened. “Today a conscientious and detail-oriented jury reinforced a simple truth in this community, that we will protect those who protect us,” Brauchler said.

Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue wants to bring a little more Christmas spirit to the town’s annual Starlighting celebration. “When I was down at the international shopping center convention in Las Vegas, we happened to go by this particular booth that had Christmas decorations on display. They had a pretty significant tree there. It was about a 20-foot-high Christmas tree. It really caught my attention,” Donahue said. “I look forward to Starlighting here; I think it’s a fabulous event. We’ve got literally thousands of people who come out for that, but I thought that having a significant Christmas tree downtown would interesting enough, and something of a draw, to have (town) staff take this to the DDA (Downtown Development Authority) and the chamber and see how they respond to it.” Donahue said he would like to involve Douglas County as well, as he envisions the location of the tree being in front of the courthouse. The mayor said the specific tree that he saw can be made anywhere from 2080 feet high and comes already decorat-
ed. “It’s reusable, so we could use it for years to come,” he said.” We would have to find a place to store it if we move forward on something like that.” Other decorations are also being considered. “My anticipation would be that it would be up for the entire period that the star is lit and the tree would be lit at the same time as the star. That’s the initial thought process,” Donahue said.” I think back to Christmas as a kid, and in particular for young families, this is the type of thing that little kids love to see and remember and just be a part of their childhood memories. I think it kind of goes along with what we do as a community on Christmas.” Town staff agreed to do more research about possibly adding a Christmas tree and other decorations to the Starlighting celebration and the associated costs. Council will consider the additions after being briefed on the details and scope of the project. Presented by the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce, the Castle Rock “Lighting of the Star” has been a community event shared by residents dating back to 1935. The town traditionally celebrates Starlighting downtown on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. This year’s date is Nov. 22. This year’s celebration will include carriage rides, hot chocolate and live entertainment, and Santa will be present for photos and visits.

Victim’s parents sue school district, leaders Filing alleges reports about sex criminal were ignored by officials By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The parents of a sexual assault victim filed a lawsuit June 16 against the Douglas County School District, former Rocky Heights Middle School principal Patricia Dierberger and former RHMS assistant principal James McMurphy. The federal suit alleges Dierberger, McMurphy and “at least one other high-ranking DCSD administrator” ignored reports of predatory behavior toward the victim by former RHMS math teacher Richard Johnson, who is now serving a 20-year sentence for two counts of sexual exploitation of a child after agreeing to a plea deal last fall.

The Douglas County School Board has voted to rescind a letter of support for a controversial plan to build an Xcel Energy transmission line through Parker. The board voted 4-2 during its June 17 meeting to rescind the letter to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, nearly six weeks after the letter was sent without some board members being aware that their names were attached. The letter pledged strong support for the Pawnee-Daniels Park line, a proposed 345-kilovolt transmission line from the Brush, Colo., area to a substation in Daniels Park, just north of Castle Pines. Opponents from several impacted neighborhoods have launched organized campaigns against the Pawnee-Daniels Park line, citing concerns over exposure to high electromagnetic fields, blocked views and excessive noise. When they found out that school board vice president Doug Benevento works for Xcel Energy as vice president of public affairs, they sent letters and attended meetings to protest what they deem a conflict of interest. “Perhaps the thing that bothers me most is the fact that the letter the board president sent to the PUC uses wording and logic very similar to that used by Xcel in its corporate materials on the project, as if Xcel had written ghost-written the letter,” said Michael Roueche, president of the Rowley Downs Homeowners’ Association and co-founder of the “Halt The Power Lines” opposition group. During the June 17 meeting, school board president Kevin Larsen said he mistakenly believed the letter of support had been included in the consent agenda during a May meeting and approved by the board. He explained that he confused it with a separate proposal from Intermountain Rural Electric Association to bury power lines near Pine Lane Elementary. Larsen, however, reiterated his support for the Xcel project, as did board member Craig Richardson. Benevento did not attend the June 17 meeting or the May 6 meeting when Larsen said he thought the letter was approved. In an emailed statement, Benevento said he had no knowledge of the letter being sent. “Since the day I was elected, I have recused myself from any matters associated with Xcel Energy,” he said. “This situation is no different. “As clearly demonstrated at Tuesday’s board meet-
ing, I had no advance notice, nor participated in, any discussion or decision related to the proposed power line. The board president acted independent of me and the rest of the board.” DCSD board member Meghann Silverthorn, who voted to rescind the letter to the utilities commission, responded via email to concerns from a constituent by promising to ask Larsen to “address the reasoning” behind the endorsement. “Although the letter was written in the first-person plural, I was not aware of it until three days after it was dated and, presumably, sent,” she said in the email. Board member Jim Geddes, who also voted to withdraw the school district’s support for the transmission line, said discussions between Xcel and the district were the right course of action, but said the focus should be limited. “Once we’ve established the lines will not go close to a future school that is going to need to be built, then we’re out of it,” he said. “I say we step out of it now.” Larsen said he did not see any controversy and contended that “there was no intent to bypass any input from the other board members.” He said the letter was prepared for him, after which he reviewed it and agreed with its content. Larsen did not say who wrote the letter. Curt Dale, a resident of Rowley Downs, said he still doesn’t understand why the school board “stepped so far afield to endorse this project.” While supporting the economic reasons, Larsen said during the meeting that the district had safety concerns about the proximity of high-voltage structures to potential school sites, as well as impacts to the value of the land. Roueche responded by asking about the difference between children in neighborhoods near the lines and children in schools. Those living near the transmission line corridor, where a 230-kV transmission line already exists, have pleaded with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to hear the concerns of citizens. They welcomed news in late May that an administrative law judge from the commission agreed to take public comment from 4-7 p.m. July 23 at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., in Parker. Mark Stutz, a spokesman for the Xcel Energy, said the transmission line is “essential” to maintaining the integrity of the power grid in the south metro region, especially with continued population growth. He said the energy provider has been planning the Pawnee-Daniels Park line since buying the utility easement in the late 1960s. Xcel has scheduled several public meetings in an attempt to defuse fears and dispel rumors.

Second question added to special election Gun rights at center of Aug. 19 balloting in Castle Rock By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Castle Rock Town Council voted 6-1 on June 17 to approve the ballot language for a proposed charter amendment, which could result in a requirement for a public vote to amend the town charter for any alteration of the town’s firearms laws in the future. The charter amendment question in the Aug. 19 special election will share the ballot with a question that addresses the issue of the open carrying of firearms in municipalowned buildings and town parks. The two questions will read as follows: “Shall Town Council ordinance 2014-03 be approved which ordinance revokes the authority of the Town manager under the municipal code to prohibit the open carrying of firearms within municipal buildings, parks, recreation areas and other municipal properties owned or operated by the town of Castle Rock? Yes or No?” A “no” vote would restore the town manager’s authority to ban the open carry of guns on town property. “Any restriction or limitation on the rights of citizens to keep and bear firearms enacted
by the Town Council shall require the approval of the registered electors as a referred measure under Section 15-4 of this Charter. This Section shall not apply to Town Council action which makes unlawful the discharge or brandishing of firearms. This Section shall govern and control over Articles II and VII or any other conflicting provision of this Charter, and shall apply only to Council action taken after its adoption. Yes or no?” A “yes” vote would require a vote of the town’s registered electorate in order to change any restriction or limitation on the rights of citizens to keep and bear firearms in future. Town Attorney Robert Slentz said that all potential outcomes of the vote are consistent and do not conflict with one another. Municipal code governing elections states that any ballot question shall be “referred by ordinance” 60 days prior to the election date. Given the special election date of Aug. 19, the ballot question concerning the amendment to the charter had to be “referred” no later than June 20. “The emergency adoption of this ordinance is clearly appropriate under our code,” Slentz said. “It avoids any potential procedural challenge to the timeliness of the referral.” Councilmember Chip Wilson of District 4 was again the lone voice of dissent on the issue.
Schools’ capital-needs backlog drives up cost Planners say list will grow until funding is found By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County School District staff and committee members have painted a dire picture of problems plaguing district school buildings and property, and a financial plan for addressing the situation. But that plan would require voter approval, and some board members said they don’t think that’s likely. At the June 17 school board meeting, members cited a still unstable national economy and state education funding distribution process they believe is unfair to Douglas County. One person in the audience scolded the board for years of inaction on the mounting problems, saying it owes the children a plan for fixing them. DCSD has $275 million in unfunded capital needs over the next five years. Issues presented in the DCSD Long Range Planning Committee’s 2014-15 Capital Master Plan include aging buses, boilers and roofs; outdated technology; cracked parking lots; unraveling carpet; safety and security needs; and new construction prompted by near-capacity schools. “This seems urgent to me,” said new DCSD chief operations officer Thomas Tsai, who replaced recently retired longtime COO Bill Moffitt. “Our bond funds are gone. We’re now working with a zero sum amount of resourcing for the things we need to do to keep our buildings open. “Now we look at a 15-year-old roof and our concern and our ability is not, `Can we replace the entire thing?’ It’s, `Where is the most likely area of the roof that is going to suffer catastrophic failure?’ We don’t do this in our personal lives. Yet for some reason when it’s a public asset, we somehow lack the urgency.” For every year the capital needs aren’t addressed, the dollar amount needed to fix them increases by $35 million, said chief financial officer Bonnie Betz. “It grew $35 million this last year. It grew $35 million the year before that,” she told the board. “It will continue to grow until we do something about this.” Betz’s refinancing proposal would allow DCSD to leverage additional funds without increasing county residents’ school-related
taxes. Without such action, taxpayers eventually will see a decrease in their annual tax obligation to the schools. The idea, which could be put to a vote as soon as November, would allow county residents “to help us maintain our $900 million worth of facilities in a manner that will not have a huge impact on our taxpayers,” Betz said. Voters passed a similar refinancing mechanism in the Littleton Public Schools district last November. Betz said the plan also would allow DCSD to catch up on its capital needs during a short window of slow growth in Douglas County. While residential growth flagged during the recession, it’s bouncing back, and projections indicate a dramatic influx of new students in about five years. Board member Jim Geddes suggested the district look at the most critical issues and find ways to address them. “I think the political environment right now and for the next year or two is going to be prohibitive on asking the taxpayer for any increase whatsoever,” he said. “Our average middle-class citizen right now is under great financial duress across the country. Secondly, this is a very conservative community still, and there’s a political bias.” “We are not in a place where I think we’re going to be successful,” board member Craig Richardson said. “I think many Douglas County residents have a very wellfounded view we are exporting a lot of cash in this district to Denver. We have high incomes and we’re paying high income taxes … and we’re getting a paltry sum back.” Until that issue is resolved, Richardson said he’s skeptical county residents will endorse any financing measure. Highlands Ranch resident Cindy Barnard — president of Taxpayers for Public Education and a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the school district — urged the board to find a solution. “There are no more Band-Aids,” she said. “Our buildings are falling apart and you’re not taking care of them. The kids that are in our buildings don’t get another chance at their education.” The most pressing issues — those planners said could interrupt students’ education — add up to about $25 million. Board members suggested that the most-urgent punch-list also should also include some safety, security and transportation-related items.
Castle Rock’s council voted 6-1 to add a charter amendment question to the Aug.19 special election. Photo by Mike DiFerdinando “I have a real hard time trying to push things a lot quicker than I think they need to be. I do not support it. I did not support it on emergency adoption,” Wilson said. Wilson said he think adding a second question to the ballot is confusing to voters and that he favored a single-question ballot. Councilmember George Teal of District 6 spoke out in favor of the amendment and the language. “I look at what I see here and this is perfect. This is perfect. It is a reaffirmation of our constitutional rights,” Teal said. According to Town Manager Mark Ste-
vens, the town will be sending out educational material on the ballot questions prior to the vote. “The town clerk estimates the ballots will likely go out in late July. So, sometime between now and when the ballots go out, the town will prepare a neutral informational piece that will be mailed to all registered voters and all households,” Stevens said. “It most likely will include a sample ballot and we will lay out what a yes vote means and what a no vote means and provide people with additional information. It certainly won’t take any positions.”

Health providers tackle toll of mental illness Behavioral disorders drive up usage of hospitals, ERs By By Kristin Jones and vBurt Hubbard
Rocky Mountain PBS I-News Editor’s note: This is the first in a threepart series. Call them frequent flyers. Or superutilizers. Or loyal customers. In hospitals across the country, they’re known to doctors and nurses as the people who come back time and again for care. They make up a very small percentage of patients, but they rack up an inordinate share of medical expenses, often preventable. Among Colorado Medicaid enrollees, they spend an average of around eight times as much as their peers. And many of them — nearly three-quarters, by an Aurora study’s recent count — have a mental illness. It makes intuitive sense, and research confirms it: A troubled mind can take a toll on the body, and vice versa. This simple fact is leading medical professionals and health officials in Colorado to rethink how to curb high costs in the health-care system. What they have found is that it’s impossible to treat the most expensive customers of emergency rooms and other hospital services without addressing mental health. “You can’t improve the overall health if you’re not treating the whole person,” says Dr. Angela Green, who co-directs an Aurora-based project called Bridges to Care. Health-care costs, many of them preventable, rank among the highest indirect impacts of mental illness, an analysis by
Rocky Mountain PBS I-News has found. Medical expenses associated with mental illness reached an estimated $2 billion in Colorado in 2013, according to 2005 figures from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, updated for growth and inflation. Lost wages cost even more. Workers with mental disorders earn $16,000 less per person per year, according to a 2008 study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. I-News estimates Colorado’s share of these lost wages at $2.9 billion. The costs keep piling up: $425 million for disability pay in 2012, according to the Social Security Administration; $62 million in state education spending for children with emotional disorders in 2012; $44.7 million to hold inmates with mental illnesses in seven county jails, according to a 2010 City of Denver survey of the metro Denver counties; $28 million budgeted this year to treat state prison inmates. “We’re spending a lot of money on mental health, but in all the wrong places,” says Moe Keller, a former state legislator who is now an advocate with Mental Health America of Colorado. “We’re spending an inordinate amount of money in jails because we’re not treating mental health as a physical health issue, in courts because we’re not treating mental health as a physical health issue, in emergency rooms, in prisons.” Keller believes the money would be more wisely directed to the front end, to screening for depression in primary care offices and treating people for mental and physical health problems in the same place. Around the state, health officials and hospital administrators are coming to the same conclusion. And they’re starting with the frequent flyers.
Treating the whole person
Christina Jackson seemed to sleep only an hour at a time after her sister died in March 2013. Her daughter had to coax her to eat. She cried a lot. And then, in July of last year, chest pains punctuated a crying jag. Jackson was having a heart attack.

One thing led to another. The heart attack was followed by a stroke that left Jackson, who is 47, blind in one eye. Her hopelessness and anxiety deepened. By last fall, Jackson had visited the emergency room at University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora three times in a span of six months — the tipping point that alerted Bridges to Care to intervene. Bridges to Care, which is run out of Metro Community Provider Network safety-net clinics in Aurora, launched its frequent-flyer program last year. The program, funded by a federal grant, is part of a national movement aimed at stemming health-care costs by improving the way care is given to the most costly consumers in the medical system. In Colorado, this idea is gaining ground in scattershot efforts launched by state Medicaid administrators and hospitals including Denver Health. These efforts diverge in how they flag frequent flyers and facilitate care. But they share a philosophy of coordinating services and giving personalized attention to help people navigate a complex healthcare system more efficiently. Relationships are key. It’s these relationships — between care coordinators and the patients — that can help turn up the undiagnosed and untreated mental illness beneath the surface of a medical crisis. Along with getting a care coordinator, each person who enrolls in Bridges to Care receives a home visit from a therapist and a psychiatric nurse practitioner. The Aurora project has collected detailed profiles of 57 people who have graduated from its two-month program. Around 72 percent of them were diagnosed with one or more mental illnesses. About a quarter of them had depression, 20 percent had anxiety disorder, and 11 percent had bipolar disorder. Bridges to Care’s findings are in line with what health officials and doctors are seeing across Colorado. Mental illnesses collectively make up the most prevalent conditions among Medicaid clients who frequent the ER six times or more in a span of 12 months, according to an I-News survey of the state’s seven regional Medicaid administrators tasked with improving care for low-income Coloradans. Mental illnesses are more common than diabetes, asthma, or any other driver of ER use. Around 33 percent of these frequent flyers have behavioral health claims, but that’s likely an underestimate of the true disease prevalence, Medicaid administrators say. “When you look at the claims data, it doesn’t help paint the picture at all,” says Jenny Nate, community strategist for Rocky Mountain Health Plans, which helps administer Medicaid for much of the western half of the state. “Sometimes behavioral health diagnoses get missed or minimized,” says Nate. “So it’s hard to get the real story.”
On top of that, Medicaid clients get their physical care and their mental health care from separate places, making it harder to track any overlap.
Relationships cut costs
That’s where care coordinators like Alyssa Murphy come in. Murphy, a former AmeriCorps volunteer, was assigned to guide Christina Jackson to a primary care doctor and make sure she could get an appointment when she needed it. The two hit it off immediately. “I really love her,” Jackson beamed at Murphy, who was sitting across the room from her in Jackson’s duplex in east Aurora. Before, she said, she couldn’t seem to get a doctor’s appointment when she needed it and hospital staff didn’t seem to care about her at all. Murphy seemed genuinely interested in her well-being. “She helped me through it.” Along with arranging transportation to the clinic and helping her apply for food stamps, Murphy introduced Jackson to the clinic’s behavioral health team, who taught her breathing techniques to manage stress. On the sofa at home, Jackson demonstrated her breathing exercises. She inhaled, one-two-three, and exhaled. Immediately, her face looked less drawn; she smiled and sat up straighter. Jackson graduated from the two-month program at the end of January, without going to the hospital once during that time. While her depression hasn’t lifted, Jackson has found that its burden was eased by the personal attention and a sense of empowerment about her health. As time-consuming and resource-intensive as it is to provide care this way, it’s actually expected to cut medical costs, says Green. Six months after graduating from the program, 79 percent of the patients were either visiting the emergency room less frequently or not at all. With an eye toward reducing Medicaid expenses, state government recently launched pilot programs to do similar work in regions with the highest concentration of what they call superutilizers. The state’s intervention targets people who visited the emergency room six times or more in a span of 12 months, or used 30 prescriptions — a population that cost $25,187 per patient in 2013, on average. By comparison, the average Medicaid patient costs just $3,000 a year. Care coordinators — the kind of personal medical assistant that Murphy was to Christina Jackson — will be assigned to these high-cost medical customers in Pueblo and Colorado Springs in order to make their health care more efficient.
Illnesses interact
Behavioral health will be a key part of the approach, says Patrick Fox, deputy director of the Office of Behavioral Health at Colorado’s Department of Human Services. I-News continues on Page 11

Commissioner to leave job early Hilbert also ends HD-44 candidacy after landing new position By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Jack Hilbert is leaving his post as Douglas County commissioner earlier than planned, having accepted a job with the state. He is also ending his run as the only Republican who was vying for state House District 44. On June 18, the county announced that Hilbert, commissioner for District 1, will vacate his seat effective July 13, approximately six months before the conclusion of his second and final term. On June 16, Hilbert acHilbert cepted an offer from the Colorado Department of Human Services, Child Welfare Protection Division, as the Child Welfare Hotline System manager beginning July 14. In this role he will oversee the department’s new statewide Child Welfare Pro-
tection hotline, scheduled to launch Jan. 1. “This really does give me the opportunity to serve the people of Colorado in a new way. I truly look at it as a chance to serve and protect our state’s youngest and most vulnerable population,” Hilbert said. Hilbert will oversee the launch of the statewide hotline for reporting child abuse and neglect. He served as co-chair of the task force that helped create the call center. The hotline will allow the state and counties to receive and answer calls from mandatory reporters and concerned citizens who suspect incidents of child abuse or neglect. Calls will be routed through a central source and answered by professionally trained county responders. Between now and that time, Hilbert will lead efforts to formalize the routing system so that state and county officials can properly track the number of calls, the timeline of assessment and response, and to produce means for evaluating the success of the hotline “We will miss Jack’s leadership, his positive approach to problem-solving and the energy he brings to all opportunities and challenges,” County Commissioner and board chairman Roger
Partridge said in a news release. “We had been anticipating and planning for Commissioner Hilbert’s departure since the year began, as we do when a board member is in their final term. With this news of his early departure, we will expedite the transition plan.” Two Republicans are seeking the District 1 commissioner post, Douglas County Sheriff David Weaver and businessman Stevan Strain, and one will emerge from the June 24 primary election. No Democrats or Libertarians have declared for the November general election. The process to replace Hilbert in the interim will begin after he officially steps down on July 13. As of that date, the Douglas County Republican Party will have 10 days to elect an interim replacement to serve the remaining six months of Hilbert’s term. According to Craig Steiner, chairman of the Douglas County GOP, the interim commissioner will be elected by a vote of the party’s central committee. A 50 percent majority is needed to win. The winner of the June 24 Republican primary will likely have the inside track for the interim position. Long term, the seat will be filled by
the winner of the general election Nov. 4. Regarding the House District 44 race, Steiner said, “At such time as Jack Hilbert may officially withdraw from the race, there is a separate process that involves an HD44 vacancy committee. This vacancy committee would select a Republican to appear on the ballot in November. “The only thing that is unclear is the exact timeline of that process, as it depends on the date when Jack Hilbert may officially withdraw from the race. ... We’re absolutely clear that there will be a Republican on the ballot in November. State statute and our party and district bylaws ensure that.” The Republican selected for the HD44 race in November will face Democrat Karen Smith and Libertarian Lily Williams, who are also running for that seat. Hilbert was elected Douglas County commissioner in November 2006 and was re-elected to a second term in November 2010. He previously served in leadership positions in the public and private sector as well as corporate enterprise for 35 years. “It has been an incredible experience serving the people of Douglas County,” Hilbert said. “It’s one of the greatest experiences of my life. Now, I look forward to starting a new chapter.”
of Events The River - Littleton’s Past, Present and Future Calendar For a complete calendar of South Metro Denver By Natalie Harden On Thursday, June 12 the South Metro Denver Chamber’s Littleton Business Coalition and the Economic Development Group joined forces at Hudson Gardens to discuss Littleton’s past, present and future. Over 100 Chamber members attended the presentation, sponsored by Hudson Gardens. The morning began with networking followed by presentations by Rich Meredith, executive director of the Hudson Gardens and Event Center, who presented the history and future of Hudson Gardens. His remarks were followed by Dave Lorenz, executive director of South Suburban Park and Recreation District (SSPRD), who discussed the role of SSPRD along the Mary Carter Greenway trail. “This event was a great way for two of our strongest Chamber groups to collaborate on Littleton’s continued growth and economic development,” said Marcia McGilley, interim CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber. Laura Kroeger, assistant program manager
at Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, spoke next regarding the coordinated planning that is occurring along the South Platte River and future economic development opportunities. City Manager Michael Penny then spoke about the existing activity along the river, from the Breckenridge Brewery development to planning for the Ensor site development. Finally, Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman introduced Jim Taylor, board chair of Littleton Invests For Tomorrow (LIFT) (formerly the Riverfront Authority), who presented the city’s plans to use the Urban Renewal Authority for future economic revitalization. Closing remarks were provided by David Shefte, CEO of HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital-Littleton. Norman Stucker, member of the Chamber Board of Directors and both groups, commented on the event. “The future is always about tomorrow, not yesterday; in that light I look forward to transitioning from the Chair of the Littleton Business Coalition (LBC) to a
regular member of the Executive Committee Chamber events and for more information, in support of initiatives like the approval of visit our web site at www.bestchamber.com an Urban Renewal Authority in Littleton; supporting community efforts like Clarity or call 303-795-0142.

Shredding Event raised $4,000 for Littleton Boy Scout troop and several hundred pounds of food donations for Cabrini’s Cupboard A Littleton Boy Scout troop collected $4,000 in donations. Cabrini’s Cupboard at St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church added several hundred pounds of donations to the food it provides to people needing a meal. And hundreds of residents from the South Metro area unloaded more than 10,000 pounds of documents to be shredded and more than 40,000 pounds of used electronics gear for recycling.
The event was free to the public but people taking advantage of shredding and recycling were encouraged to provide cash donations to Boy Scout Troop 4 of Littleton or non-perishable food donations that went to Cabrini’s Cupboard. “I can’t say enough about the scouts who showed up to help,” Braunschweiger said. “They really pitched in to help make the day a huge success.”
Those were the highlights of the free shredding and electronics recycling event held June 7 in Highlands Ranch by members of LEADapalooza, one of the South Metro Denver Chamber’s leads groups. The group has been meeting since 2009 and has 34 highly dedicated members. “As one of our longest-running and most successful leads groups, LEADapalooza is a vital part of the South Metro Denver Chamber,” said Marcia McGilley, interim CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber. “They embody our brand promise of “Remarkable Relationships & a Thriving Community.” “This is the most successful event of any kind that I’ve ever been involved with,” said Cheryl Braunschweiger of ALMC Mortgage at NOVA Home Loans, primary organizer of the event. “The shredding truck provided by SHRED-
IT was so full that the sides were bulging,” Braunschweiger said. “And Techno+Rescue had to bring in several extra trucks because of the tremendous volume of items we collected for recycling. Everyone involved was blown away by the amount of material we collected.”
Sponsors included 22 LEADapalooza companies: 303 Denver Chiropractic; A Cleaner Carpet; ALMC Mortgage at NOVA Home Loans; Arrow B Architecture; Brickyard BBQ; C Squared Computer Consulting; Centennial Leasing & Sales; Experience Pros Radio Show; Handyman Matters; Holly Mullins, Farmers Insurance Group; JerryBrownPR; Major Mom; Mark Thomas, RE/MAX Professionals; Nexus Financial Services; PearleVisionStreets@SouthGlenn; PROformance Apparel; Riviera Finance; RMK Cartridge; SG Associates; Cathy Reilly, Silpada Designs; SuperMedia; and Weksler Benefits.

I-News Continued from Page 8
“Most of these superutilizers have a physical health problem and behavioral health component,” Fox says. He gives the example of a Medicaid client who was treated for a blood clot in her lung. Afterward, every twinge in her leg or chest would send her, panicked, to the ER. She went every two or three weeks. “She didn’t understand that her risk of this coming back was nonexistent. Somebody needed to explain it to her,” says Fox. “It was not a severe persistent mental illness, but in a regular primary care office, there’s not time to look for a behavioral health condition. It doesn’t get diagnosed.” At the same time, it isn’t uncommon for frequent flyers to have a mental illness that’s the main driver of their ER visits. Around 14 percent of the frequent ER users in central Colorado counties, including El Paso, have a primary diagnosis of mental illness. The number is 18 percent in the state’s southeastern counties, including Pueblo. They include people like Fruita resident Agnes Shellabarger, who has schizo-
phrenia. Migraines and suicidal thoughts have led her to the hospital repeatedly, and she now works with a care coordinator based at Mind Springs Health, the community mental health center in Grand Junction. Substance abuse is also a common driver of ER visits. Robin Bingham was a repeat visitor to the emergency room at St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction, usually for detox from crystal methamphetamine or alcohol. In January, she took an overdose of medication in a suicide attempt, and was referred to a care coordinator at Mind Springs Health who has helped her embark on recovery. “It’s very difficult to find treatment on your own,” Bingham said in March. “I called every treatment center in town and they didn’t call me back.” When Denver Health designed its frequent-flyer program, it specifically targeted people with co-occurring mental illnesses. To qualify for an intensive outpatient intervention, patients had to be admitted to the hospital three times in the past six months — or twice, with a mental illness diagnosis. The reason for this, says Tracy L.
Johnson, who directs health-care reform initiatives at Denver Health, is the growing body of research on a national level showing the relationship between preventable hospital readmissions and mental illness. The revolving door is especially likely to ensnare people with mental illness who are non-compliant with medication, who are discharged into unstable care or who have co-occurring substance abuse disorders, according to recent research reviewed by scholars at George Washington University.
Coordination is challenge As big as the financial costs of untreated mental illness can be, the personal ones are much greater. Poor mental health can come handin-hand with substance abuse, unemployment, homelessness, high rates of smoking and poor access to medical care. In part for these reasons, people with severe mental illnesses die an average of 25 years earlier than others, according to a 2008 study by the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors. Statistics like this one have convinced many that there are benefits in coordi-
nating physical and mental health care. But the mechanics of doing so are often more difficult. In practice, the two forms of care are in separate silos. Keller, the mental health advocate, ticks off a list of obstacles that stand in the way of integrating the two types of care. Much of the difficulty has to do with reimbursement. Physicians can’t bill for anything that doesn’t have its own billing code. And the payment model doesn’t account for the lengthier office visits that a mental-health visit requires. There are other barriers, too. Nurses, doctors and psychologists are often unaccustomed to working in a team. And broad interpretations of medical privacy laws prevent the sharing of information. Colorado is applying for a federal grant to integrate its physical and behavioral health care, and Keller believes the Affordable Care Act will go a long way toward reforming payment for mental health. “There are some good things happening,” says Keller. “We’re not there yet.” Colorado Community Media brings you this report in partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS I-News.

opinions / yours and ours
Tune in to major life lesson from television
I don’t sleep on the thought of napping This is a tribute to naps. W. C. Fields said that the best cure for insomnia was to “get plenty of sleep.” I have never had insomnia, but I know people who do, and it must be very depressing. Sleep is one of the best things there is, and it is free. Naps are gifts to ourselves. I take at least one a day, and sometimes two. When I take a nap, it is like having two days in one. If I take two naps, I will get up at 2 or 3 a.m. and start my day. Napping is different than sleeping at night. It’s more intense. The dreams are different. I subscribe to NapDreams, and always ask for the same ones. Either UCLA is humiliating USC, or Grace Kelly and I are in a remake of “Rear Window.” I take my chances with late-night dreams, and usually wind up dreaming about someone I haven’t seen in 25 years. For some reason, I never dream about Jennifer or Smitty. Maybe because I don’t have to? But I do dream about my mother and father, especially my father, all the time. And they are very vivid and real. How do little kids feel about naps these days? I can’t remember how I felt. I might have balked. I don’t balk now. Give me half an hour or an hour, and I wake up with clarity I didn’t have before I fell asleep.
They always tell drunks in films to sleep it off. But if you’re a drunk and you sleep it off, you might not be able to get to sleep again for days. Unless. Unless you get drunk again. And then the cycle begins. I don’t recommend it. Sleep deprivation is a serious thing. I have other things, but I don’t have sleep deprivation. If I am feeling sleepy, I take a nap. It helps to be retired. My “jobs” are to paint and to write, and I am always way ahead on my painting schedule, and way ahead on my column schedule. I do yard work and grocery shopping, and that’s about it. So if the arms of Morpheus are reaching for me, I fall into them. If flights of angels come to carry me to my rest, I gladly go with them. My roommate appreciates my naps too. I think Smitty sleeps about 18 hours a day, and he is always happy when I join him. He is so
FasTracks advances a piece at a time The Southwest Rail Extension is just 2.5 miles, which seems small compared to other FasTracks lines under construction all over the Denver metro region. However, this proposed light rail extension between Mineral Station and the intersection of Lucent Boulevard and C-470 is an important connection for so many. The Southwest Rail Extension is one of almost a dozen projects RTD is planning to build under its 2004 voter-approved FasTracks transit expansion program — the largest in the country. The program is adding 122 miles of new light rail and commuter rail service. People commuting from Mineral Station know how popular this line is. I often hear how folks have to get to the station before 7 a.m. to secure a parking spot in the spill-over lot across the street from the station’s paved lot. They have to arrive even earlier to park in the paved lot. Every day, almost 4,300 people board at Mineral, the Southwest Rail Line’s current end-of-line station. Adding an extension would give our customers more parking, more options and more connections. That’s why I champion the Southwest Rail Extension. I’ve been on the RTD Board
quiet when he sleeps that I sometimes have to hold a mirror to his nose. He never snores, but now and then he makes little sounds as if he just met Miss Dachshund October. Or for some reason he wags his tail, or he kicks his left hind leg. I can nap on the bed, on the couch, on the floor, on the kitchen counter — it doesn’t seem to matter. And I don’t have a Sleep Number bed. I know I am lucky. I don’t have a bad back. I have a good back. I don’t toss and turn. I wake up in the same position that I fell asleep in. Smitty moves around though. He’ll start out near my legs, and winds up next to the pillow. When I wake up in the morning, he wakes up, and comes nearer and puts his two front paws on my chest. You can’t do any better than a dachshund. “Researchers found that men who took naps at least three times a week had a 37 percent lower risk of heart-related death.” I’m in. And there is a name for the way I nap, nap, and sleep. It figures. I can’t invent anything. It’s called “polyphasic sleep,” meaning that you sleep multiple times in a 24-hour period. That’s Smitty. And that’s me. Sweet dreams. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.
THE NEWS-PRESS
Now, I am not typically a huge fan of television shows. Maybe I should say it differently: My preference has always been to read when I have downtime, or write, or just take some quiet time instead of watching TV. And I would say that for most of my adult life that has been consistent. Of course, there are the exceptions to the rule, such as the Weather Channel, where Jim Cantore has been bringing great stories and keeps us hanging on the edge of our seats with his live action shots for so many years. Then there is the Discovery Channel, and really, what is better than shows about Vikings or Shark Week? And I love local news broadcasts and catching up on everything that is happening locally and around the world. Lastly, I enjoy having baseball on in the background as I read or write — I love the game and will watch or listen to almost any game that may be on. This past year, I have been introduced to a few programs such as “Person of Interest,” “The Good Wife,” and “24.” For this column I wanted to focus on the last one, “24.” If you are familiar with the premise, you understand that every show for the entire season happens one hour at a time. Meaning it can start at 4 p.m. and every event that takes place during that show will be completed by 5 p.m. Each episode, tons of action and loaded with drama, all takes place each week within 60 minutes. So as I watched the most recent intense, action-packed and drama-filled one hour of Jack Bauer’s life on “24,” I was caught up in thinking about a program based on a philosophy that Zig Ziglar used to promote and embody himself, the idea of being a 24 Hour Champion. So what does that mean? Zig would remind us that we are not just eight- to 10hour per day employees or business people: We are moms and dads, we are community volunteers, we are part of groups and associations, and we have our circles of friends.

of Directors since 2008 and have seen other FasTracks projects go from having little to no funding to breaking ground because of partnerships, innovative financing and good leadership. I see the same for this project in the future. Ten years ago, all of the metro mayors — regardless of political affiliations — stood together in a unified front to support FasTracks. I’m hoping this same can-do spirit will be conveyed on the Southwest Rail Extension. It was a bold undertaking to get FasTracks on the ballot then, and it will take the same bold leadership to get the Southwest Rail Extension built. RTD staff and I have been working with stakeholders over the last year to determine Bagley continues on Page 13

Castle Pines chamber seeks ‘destination’ shops Cracker Barrel seen as example of lure for drivers By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Driving on Interstate 25, it can be easy to miss the sign for Castle Pines. For many, seclusion offers residents a more peaceful lifestyle, but for local businesses, privacy isn’t adding up to profit. “I think one of the hardest things for businesses in Castle Pines, and this specific area, is that everybody gets on the highway and they either go north to Denver or south to Castle Rock and Colorado Springs,” said Carla Kenny, vice president of the Castle Pines Chamber of Commerce. Kenny said improving the town’s visibility from the highway and bringing in destination
retailers are critical to the future of the local business community. “Businesses struggle, and that’s really hard because we just don’t have enough businesses or places that people want to do business, so they have to get on the highway to do what they need to do,” Kenny said. “So, if we had more of a variety, I think that would help. If we had a destination-type business, like a Whole Foods or one of those restaurants that people drive for, like a Cracker Barrel or something like that, it would help.” Kenny said the chamber will be partnering with local government to help tackle the issue and get residents more involved in supporting the city’s business community. “We are currently working with the city very closely on trying figure out different things that we can do,” she said. “We’re going to partner with them to do a local campaign and try and get people to not just support our businesses but also to get involved in our community. This is a great community and a
great place to live, and I think the more that we can market for our small businesses and support them the better.” Kenny said the town has hired a public relations firm to help them get their message out. The Castle Pines Chamber of Commerce was created shortly after the town incorporated in February 2008. Castle Pines is a city of about 10,000 people. “When our community was looking to incorporate, all of our businesses were coming to my partner and I because we worked for our homeowners association planning events and she sold ads for our newsletter, and the businesses were coming to us saying: ‘What is incorporating going to do to our business? How is it going to affect us?’ And we realized at that time that there was really no group or central area, organization or any place for these business owners to get together and network and ask questions and find out what is going on in the community. So we
partnered with the HOA to start the chamber. And we started as a business association,” Kenny said. The chamber currently has a little more than 200 members. Kenny said she has high expectations for the chamber and its growth going forward. “I think people like our demographics — highly educated, they make a little bit more money, I think all of those are factors.” As the population continues to grow south of Denver, Kenny hopes more business will come to Castle Pines. “I think we have a lot of future growth that’s going to start coming once The Canyons starts developing, but they’re a ways out and I think businesses won’t be first, it’ll be residential. But that will help,” Kenny said. The Canyons will be a 3,300-acre, mixedused development east of I-25, with about 2,500 homes planned. Construction is expected to begin in 2015.

So it’s not just about what we do to earn a living or support our family, it’s about who we are in each hour of each 24-hour day we are blessed enough to spend here on earth. How do we do this? We have to focus on our self-confidence and healthy self-image; we have to maintain a positive attitude; we have to build and develop relationships at home and at work; we have to set goals and pursue those goals; and we have to live with hope. Now back to why this resonated with me during a recent viewing of a television program. The concept in the show “24” is that we see everything that is going on in a window of 60 minutes. So I thought about if someone was viewing my efforts, actions, words and, yes, even drama, would they see someone who is caught up in the moment or would they see someone who is maximizing each minute of each hour to work on mind, body, and spirit? As much as we believe we are not in control of our time or maybe even

ways to move this project forward. Douglas County, Shea Properties, Englewood McClellan Reservoir Foundation, Highlands Ranch Metro District, the Highlands Ranch Community Association and the cities of Littleton and Englewood are all important players in getting this project completed. I’ve also met one-on-one with various stakeholders. Some of the ideas that have been mentioned for completing the Southwest Extension include issuing certificates of participation — a method of financing that was used to get the North Metro Rail Line project moving forward. Another methodology is exploring the feasibility of tax-increment financing (TIF) districts, which is one of the funding mechanisms for Denver Union Station. Even though the Southwest Rail Extension is unfunded now, activity continues to happen around the future Lucent Station. At the future end-of-line station at Lucent, Douglas County is working on a Station Area Master Plan. Farther north, the City of Littleton is looking at what the future holds for the 17-acre Mineral Station. Littleton and RTD have recruited a team from the Urban Land Institute to visualize future scenarios for the light-rail station parking lot and the surrounding area south of Mineral Avenue and north of the Park-n-
dimension at three locations in Castle Rock thanks to the Countywide Art Encounters program. Starting its seventh year, the program provides one-year exhibits of sculptures in retail and civic areas within Douglas County. Castle Rock’s pieces for 2014-15 were installed over the last couple weeks: • “Bower,” a translucent polycarbonate panel for sale at $7,000 by artist Barbara Baer, is in Festival Park, 300 Second St. • “Needle and Thread,” a steel sculpture for sale at $15,000 by artist
Kevin Shaffer, is at Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course, 2156 Red Hawk Ridge Drive • “Wellness Globe,” which artist Ivan Kosta made of painted steel and has for sale at $24,300, is at Butterfield Crossing Park, 3952 W. Butterfield Crossing Drive The pieces will remain in place until late May/early June 2015. The Town will give each artist a $500 stipend to borrow his or her piece for the year, which is funded through the Philip S. Miller Trust Fund. No taxpayer money is used to purchase public art in Castle Rock.

Hickenlooper’s gun comments spark firestorm Anti-gun advocates still back governor, Republicans ready for change at top By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gun control advocates say they were not taken aback by recent comments by Gov. John Hickenlooper that initially indicated a back-pedaling of his support for a key piece of gun legislation from last year. “Words are one thing, but I’m actionbased,” said Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex was killed in the July 2012 Aurora Theater shooting. “In the signing of the gun bills last year, the actions of the governor showed me exactly where he is on this — that he’s firmly with us on common sense laws.” But others point to Hickenlooper’s recent remarks to a group of sheriffs — followed by an interview in which he sought to clarify those comments — as an example of failed leadership. “We don’t need excuses and we don’t (need) different versions of the story,” said Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker. “I don’t need apologies. I need a new governor.” The governor created a media firestorm
after he acknowledged to a group of county sheriffs who were meeting June 13 in Aspen that he had been conflicted about signing a law that placed bans on high-capacity ammunition magazines. Hickenlooper told the sheriffs that he signed the legislation — which banned the sale of magazines that hold more than 15 rounds — after a member of his “staff made a commitment” to signing it, according to video footage of the governor’s comments, which were obtained by the conservative website, Revealing Politics. The governor also said that he did not speak with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg — a key financial backer of gun control measures — about the legislation. But phone records obtained by other media outlets show that calls between the two did in fact take place. A week after the fallout over his remarks, Hickenlooper clarified his comments and reaffirmed his commitment to the legislation. “If we went through the process again, I’d sign it again,” he told KDVR in an interview that aired on June 20. Hickenlooper also said in the interview that he made the decision to sign the legislation more than a month before the bill reached his desk and he acknowledged that he did speak with Bloomberg, but only after
the governor’s mind was made up. Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, who sponsored the legislation in the House, told Colorado Community Media that she received no assurances from the governor’s office that he was planning on signing her bill. “I never had any assurance that my bills would pass,” she said. “It’s just too much of a sensitive issue for someone to make that kind of declaration.” Fields said she has been “pleased with what the governor has done to pass these measures” and that she’s not concerned with the events from last week. “My reaction overall is that I’m really proud of the work we’ve been able to achieve in Colorado in regard to gun safety measures,” Fields said. “We’re setting the tone for what other states are doing on this issue and the measures we took were very common sense.” Republicans don’t think that’s the case at all. Not a single Republican voted for the magazine ban at the Legislature in 2013. This year, they unsuccessfully failed to repeal that and a separate law that created universal background checks on gun sales. House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, took issue with Hickenlooper telling county sheriffs that he had no idea that the bills would be so controversial. “Prior to his signature, there were hun-
dreds of people including sheriffs from around the state testifying at the Capitol in opposition to these gun control bills,” DelGrosso said. “I would think testimony from law enforcement along with thousands of protestors and hundreds of thousands of emails would have shown Governor Hickenlooper these gun control bills were controversial.” Holbert, who is leaving the House to run for a state Senate seat, sponsored the repeal effort in the House this year. He believes that Hickenlooper, who is running for re-election this year, has hurt himself on this issue many times and that it will cost him, politically. “There are now two or three versions of this story,” Holbert said. “But who made (the) decision? Did the governor make a decision as a leader or was it a staffer? Is he beholden to a staffer? And who is this staffer? “No one could have hurt John Hickenlooper more than John Hickenlooper.” But what happened last week was just all noise in the minds of key gun control supporters. “He signed the bills into the law and since that time it has saved lives,” Sullivan said. “I don’t see any of these (gun laws) as road blocks. I see them as see them as speed bumps, to slow the process down a little, to make us safer in a common sense way.”
elytizing organization, Operation Christmas Child, after the AHA challenged its legality — again at a parent’s behest. The students who went to Guatemala were part of the Highlands Ranch High School chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The trip was organized in conjunction with Adventures in Missions, whose website describes its vision, “that God would use us to raise up a generation of radically committed disciples of Jesus Christ.” A Highlands Ranch High School English teacher accompanied the students on the trip. Monica Miller, an attorney with AHA’s Appignani Humanist Legal Center, said their concern isn’t specific to Christianity. “School officials are not permitted to show preferential treatment toward any religious student group, let alone fundraise for mission trips to proselytize Christianity,” she said. “The primary purpose of their trip was to proselytize the life of Jesus Christ. It wasn’t just, `Here’s a toothbrush.’ ” Highlands Ranch High School principal Jerry Goings defended the students, who he said created and drove the initiative. “I have a group of well-intentioned kids
that came up with the idea on their own,” he said. “It was not an idea that came from adults. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the kids that are involved in it are great kids. “I can also say they didn’t do conversion mission work down there. It was definitely more humanitarian work than anything else.” Goings said the school will review the trip, with an eye toward its legality and constitutionality — an effort he said HRHS makes with every undertaking. “Because the kids themselves were the ones who came up with it, nothing led me to think I had staff that was too entangled with it,” he said. “Are we going to associate ourselves with this anymore? Would we do it exactly the same? I don’t know. We’ll definitely review it.” The AHA pointed to several instances as violations, including a Jan. 18 posting about the trip on Gofundme.com titled “Mission Trip to Guatemala/HRHS.” “There are many children living in institutions and our group’s primary goal is to share the love and hope of Jesus,” reads the
post, followed by a large HRHS Falcon logo. Cougar Run Elementary’s March 2014 school newsletter references a supply drive in which sixth-graders partnered with the HRHS Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Cougar Run reportedly donated proceeds from the sales of an issue of its “Press Paws” newspaper to support the collection efforts. Staff at Cougar Run did not return calls requesting comment. Miller said AHA also supports philanthropic work, but the schools’ involvement violated portions of both the United States and Colorado constitutions. “We’ll be closely monitoring the school to be sure it doesn’t do anything like this again,” Miller said. “We are by no means opposed to charity. There are several secular charities that have specific ties to Guatemala they can choose from if they want to do this in the future.” “Douglas County School District supports student-driven community and/or fundraising efforts,” DCSD spokeswoman Paula Hans wrote in an email. “We applaud our students for being leaders and giving back to others.”
Mission trip prompts warning from humanists Attorney says primary purpose was to promote Christianity By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com For the second time in less than a year, a Douglas County school is accused of engaging students in fundraising activities that benefited Christian organizations. An attorney for the American Humanist Association sent a June 18 letter to the Douglas County School District, saying two Highlands Ranch schools improperly supported a Christian mission trip. A parent at Highlands Ranch High School alerted the association to the alleged violation, according to AHA attorney Monica Miller. Both the high school and Cougar Run Elementary allegedly helped raise money for the March 2014 student trip to Guatemala, and an HRHS teacher accompanied students on the trip. In November 2013, Highlands Ranch’s SkyView Academy charter school halted its participation in another Christian pros-

Arbitrator backs teachers’ union on sick leave School district did not take part in proceedings By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com An arbitrator has decided in favor of the Douglas County teachers’ union in a lawsuit about the teachers’ sick-leave bank filed against the Douglas County School District. The arbitrator’s decision is non-binding, and DCSD officials did not participate in the proceedings that led to arbitrator John Criswell’s final report. DCSD officials called the arbitrator’s report an “improperly obtained opinion,” and said the district continues to seek a fair resolution to the issue. The complaint surrounded DCSD’s alleged refusal to allow employees to use the sick-leave bank after the district’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the teachers’ union expired in 2012. “The district’s refusal to allow the employ-
ees, who previously earned sick leave, to use that accumulated sick leave or to use the sickleave bank, was a violation of the employees’ property rights they had earned by virtue of their previous work,” Criswell wrote in his April 30, 2014 report. The teachers’ union filed the lawsuit in Douglas County District Court in February 2013. Three teachers named as plaintiffs in the suit claimed harm from the loss of the sick-leave bank. DCSD filed motions to dismiss the case in April 2013, saying the union lacked standing in its claims and had “failed to exhaust administrative remedies” included in the expired CBA. Using an arbitrator to resolve such issues is part of the process outlined under the CBA. The district court ordered those procedures followed. Criswell, who served 13 years as a Colorado Court of Appeals judge, described the arbitration process as “somewhat unique,” because DCSD “refused to participate either in the selection of the arbitrator or any of the proceedings ...” Criswell said he provided DCSD full notice
of all steps, and proceeded on an ex-parte basis to resolve the issues. His report recommends, among other things, that the district recognize as valid all sick leave accumulated by all employees who were subject to the expired agreement’s terms and that it reimburse the three plaintiffs their fair share. In an emailed statement attributed to school board president Kevin Larsen, DCSD said the union’s lawsuit reflected its unhappiness “with the demise of its lucrative contract.” The statement also said the sick-leave bank was “fiscally irresponsible,” unfunded and came with unlimited liability, and that DCSD replaced it with a much-improved, fully funded, short-term disability plan. “Rather than work toward a sensible resolution of its lawsuit, the union unilaterally pursued an impermissible and unilateral arbitration process,” Larsen’s statement continues, adding that DCSD offered reasonable alternatives the union rejected. “It is, therefore, not surprising that this improperly obtained opinion, fully bought and paid for by the union and involving only
the union’s participation, reflects precisely the union’s desired outcome,” the statement reads. “The district gives the union’s purchased opinion the weight it deserves. “We will continue to look to a fair, impartial, objective, and lawful process for speedy resolution of the union’s baseless lawsuit against the district.” Union president Courtney Smith said the district’s failure to so far comply with the ruling is not surprising. “It is disappointing that once again DCSD has chosen to ignore a legal decision — in this case an arbitrator’s ruling,” she said. “However we are committed to seeing this lawsuit through to benefit the employees of DCSD.” Smith said the lawsuit was stayed pending the arbitration process, but will resume if the district fails to comply with the arbitrator’s ruling. Along with the sick-leave bank complaint, the DCF filed a second lawsuit against DCSD alleging unfair hiring practices. That case has not been resolved.

That reputation also put the county at No. 2 in the U.S. for employment gains in 2012. “A big part of it is turning around the building permits quickly,” she said, adding that when one business has a good experience they tell their colleagues in other industries, thus creating a domino effect. The dominos don’t stop falling there, either, Repella said, stating “for every job that comes into the county it brings two or three jobs by way of indirect impact.” Most of those jobs come by way of retail and construction. Repella also attributes “a high-performing school district and having diverse, different types of communities that people can live in” to the reasons businesses have been choosing to come here. “It’s the whole package,” she said. The state also received good news last week, as Colorado’s unemployment rate dropped to 5.8 percent, the first time it has been under 6 percent since November 2008. The report also highlighted that 9,100 new jobs have been created in Colorado since May 2013.

Wind Crest turns red, white and blue D-Day survivor shares story as community honors Flag Day By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey @coloradocommunitymedia.com Oh say, can you sing? In celebration of a one-week span that encompassed the 70th anniversary of D-Day and Flag Day, Wind Crest in Highlands Ranch and three of its sister retirement communities in Michigan, Maryland and Kansas set out to set a patriotic record — singing the “Star-Spangled Banner” in four states at the same time in unison. An estimated 3,000 people from generations young and old came together June 13 at the four retirement communities, including more than 400 people at Wind Crest who donned their red, white and blue to celebrate in song. A video that will be compiled of the four communities singing in unison will be sent to Fort McHenry (where Francis Scott Key penned the song’s words), the Maryland Historical Society, the National Archives, the Guinness Book of World Records, the Smithsonian and President Barack Obama. At the conclusion of the singing at Wind Crest — which was led by Wind Crest’s Resident Chorale — resident Jack Liggett gave a special reading of the three oft-forgotten stanzas of Key’s famous poem that aren’t sung as part of the national anthem. Wind Crest employee Patrick Colette accompanied him quietly on guitar. The ceremony was an emotional one for many and even brought some to tears. For 89-year-old Shelton Bosley, it was also a time to reflect on his own personal memories serving as a gunner’s mate on a PT boat for the U.S. Navy in World War II, and what it was like to witness D-Day firsthand on June 6, 1944 in Normandy. While more than 5,000 allied ships and 13,000 aircraft were part of the D-Day invasion, Bosley was on one of 12 U.S. PT boats — or motorized torpedo boats — called on that day.
Jim Hrbek wore his blue shirt, while his wife, Shirley, to his left, wore her red shirt and white sweater on June 13 at Wind Crest as more than 400 residents, friends and family members joined up with sister communities in Michigan, Maryland and Kansas to sing the Star Spangled Banner at the same time. Photos by Ryan Boldrey “I hate to tell you what it looked like,” recalled Bosley, 19 at the time of the invasion. “D-Day was a special day and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. To see all those planes and all those troops, it’s hard to describe. … We picked the bodies of Germans and Americans alike out of the water. Some of those bodies never got to the beach.” Bosley, who dove to the see the wreckage of one of the boats in his fleet just nine years ago, was responsible for years at getting the PT veterans who survived the war together for reunions. Today, there are only two survivors from his boat. He still picks up the phone and calls his fellow survivor from time to time. Long considered a historian on WWII events — and long since having made amends with German veterans who he is proud today to call his friends —he is adamant about one thing, too. “I’m not a hero,” he said. “I’m just a war survivor.”
Wind Crest Resident Chorale members Dody Eicher, foreground, and Annette and Donald Stone, to Eicher’s right, were among more than 400 residents, friends and family members that joined up with sister communities in Michigan, Maryland and Kansas to sing the Star Spangled Banner at the same time.

Chihuly’s standout pieces join forces with nature By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com In 2001, renowned Seattle-based glass artist Dale Chihuly began what has become the “Garden Cycle,” which involves placing his astonishing creations among the flower, shrub and tree collections in large public gardens in the U.S. and abroad. His installation at Denver Botanic Gardens opened June 14 and will remain until Nov. 30, as plants grow and change through the seasons. It will look different at different times of day, in sun or shadows — and sensational when lighted after dark. Some, such as the “Perennial Fiori” sprouting from formal flower beds, or the orange, tree-like “Summer Sun” one sees near the entrance, are obviously inspired by plant forms. The “Blue Icicle Towers” that greet the entering visitor with a burst of glitz and glamour perhaps speak more of rock crystals — still in the realm of nature. “Blue Icicle Towers” by Dale Chihuly greets visitors at the entrance to Denver Botanic Gardens.

about dale chihuly
if you go
Dale Chihuly, the “it man” in the world of art glass, clearly prefers to let his stupendous pieces of spectacular art speak for themselves rather than pontificating on his work. During a five-minute media meet-andgreet recently, Chihuly politely posed for pictures in front of the Monet Garden Pool at the Denver Botanic Gardens where an installation of the artist’s genius dots the grounds. The exhibition runs through Nov. 30. He answered a couple of questions while cameras, notebooks and voice recorders pressed in. This man of few words lets his art do the talking, and it has a lot to say. The exhibit, which features installations (some designed specifically for the Denver Botanic Gardens) at 14 sites, is a don’t-miss opportunity to bask in colorful beauty. Now that I’ve seen the show during the day, a nighttime return is on my short list. This is the Rocky Mountain Region’s first major outdoor exhibition of artwork by the celebrated American artist. Chihuly’s sculptures — ranging in size and form — add bold colors and dramatic beauty to the Gardens’ 24-acre urban oasis. Chihuly is credited with revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement and elevating the perception of the glass medium from the realm of craft to fine art. He is renowned for ambitious architectural installations around the world, in historic cities, museums and gardens. While I was oohing and aahing over the Saffron Tower & Cattails in the Ellipse Garden, a 30-foot-tall creation made of 312 hand-formed yellow neon tubes, the artist, along with “handlers,” rode up to the site in a golf cart. I asked him what he was thinking as he gazed at the Saffron Tower. “It has a lot of power, especially at night,” Chihuly said. Well said. For more information and to buy tickets, go to botanicgardens.org/exhibits/outdoor/chihuly/about.
Changeable Chihuly
The artist who earned his chops in the international glass art world wanted to stay at The Ritz-Carlton or The Four Seasons during his Denver visit. I’m told by an impeccable source that The Ritz graciously offered the Seattlebased iconic artist the Presidential Suite gratis as a donation to the Denver Botanic Gardens, but when Chihuly arrived at the Denver digs, he was taken aback by the Chihuly-knockoff glass piece installed on the hotel’s second floor. So he switched to The Four Seasons.

Town gives fireworks show another try Third year could be charm after two cancellations By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Town of Castle Rock is set once again for Independence Day fireworks, after cancellations the last two years. The town’s Rockin’ the Fourth: Red, White & Boom! fireworks show is scheduled for July 4 at Metzler Ranch Community Park, 4175 Trail Boss Road. The fireworks show is set to begin at 9:45 p.m. and will last about 30 minutes. After two years of cancellations due to fire danger, the town’s backup plan this year is to move the show to the opening of the Philip S. Miller Park in October or November if necessary. For the past two years, the show was moved to the annual Starlighting Celebration in late November. The best view of the low-flying show will be inside the park.

Colorado College holds a memorial event for Cully, the young man’s charming but unreliable father, Billy, reappears and perhaps has matured. A young girl named Kit shows up on Sarah’s doorstep, wanting to shovel snow, she says. But she brings a secret — additional insights about Cully and emotional complexities for Sarah and others in her life. The novel proceeds mainly through dialogue, which is consistently engaging and at times bitterly funny, as Hemmings’ characters struggle to heal. Hemmings was born and raised in Hawaii, has degrees from Colorado College and Sarah Lawrence, and was a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University. She lives in Hawaii and is a young writer we will want to watch as she develops a body of work exploring the many facets of the human condition through her fine command of language. “The Possibilities” was published May 13 by Simon and Schuster in hardcover. It is listed at $25 and should be available at libraries and bookstores.

Longtime artist’s work on display in library Bentley continues to create new pieces year after year
IF YOU GO
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com There’s an advantage to being a veteran artist: One has accumulated a lifetime of images and experiences that feed into the creative juices as they flow out into a new artistic endeavor. Painter Rita Bentley of Littleton is one of those who has stayed in the field consistently, producing new and different works year after year. And she is a founding member, eight years ago, of CoArt Gallery at 846 Santa Fe Drive in Denver’s Arts District. The gallery is Bentley artist-owned and -operated and follows her experiences with similar galleries in Littleton in earlier years. She will hold an exhibit called “Abstract Express” in Koelbel Library’s west gallery during the month of July. A reception is planned for 2-4 p.m. on July 13. Bentley says she “started in the Chicago area,” drawing a lot as a child. She recalls imitating the art from Saturday Evening Post covers — including those by Norman Rockwell. She has an associate degree from the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Ill., and became interested in Native American history and art — which seemed to fit when she moved to Colorado in 1979. Those familiar with her earlier work will recall a Southwestern flavor and images. She creates in multimedia and maintains a working studio at Macy Dorf’s Artists on Santa Fe, a block south of CoArt at 747 Santa Fe. (Dorf, also from Littleton, is a longtime ceramics professional, who bought an old commercial building some

It stands out with its colorful decoration by Hispanic muralists.) Bentley said the painting “Tavira,” which will be in the show, resulted from an April trip to Tavira in Portugal where “the colors inspired me. The big turquoise in the middle is the ocean … I’m concentrating on abstracts and have done a variety.” She is proud of her five children, 11 grandchildren and one great-grandchild and enjoys visiting a son in London, who accompanied her to Portugal recently.

Stories from Parker’s past Longtime residents reminisce at Ruth Memorial Church
Simpler timeS
By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A group of longtime residents took a stroll down memory lane, trading tales from their Parker childhoods. The meeting at Ruth Memorial Church, one of the town’s oldest and most distinct structures, drew a full crowd June 10. On the stage was a handful of nostalgic seniors, some of whom have called Parker home since the 1920s. The echoes of the voices within the 100-year-old church were a perfect parallel to the ceremony at hand. Ruth Memorial, it turns out, holds many memories; Sandy Whelchel, whose ancestors moved to the area in 1881, said the church was the site of her wedding and her dad’s funeral. Resident Charlotte Corah recalled hitching her horses to a post outside, where the bustle of Mainstreet now prevails. A few of the tales centered on the building next door, then a schoolhouse but now the Mainstreet Center. Laughter filled the room when Keene Daiss told of the time when he and a classmate snuck out the second-story window — a short drop to the ground — to have a smoke in the “privy,” or outhouse. The boys crawled back in unnoticed, but soon looked out the window to see the fire department putting out a fire where they had just discarded a cigarette. Several of the honored speakers still seemed annoyed at the decision to close the K-12 school in the late 1950s and move the students to Douglas County High School, which had just opened in Castle Rock. Four students dropped out rather than attend school in Castle Rock, a rival at the time. One woman who was transferred recalled singing
-Keene Daiss said he “didn’t have trouble crossing (Highway) 83” as a child. It was a seldom-used, two-lane gravel road at the time. - Franklin Harn, who moved to Parker in 1933 when he was in seventh grade, said using the telephone was a party. “You didn’t know who you were going to talk to.” -Wayne Pouppirt, who lived on land near current-day Hess Road and Motsenbocker Road, said his mother was superintendent of schools. She married at age 29 and only “missed being an old maid by a few days.” -Daiss recalled that his grandfather would take the train to Parker and always brought him candy. -Harn said when the auto garage downtown caught fire, the heat was so intense that it cracked the windows of nearby businesses. The “bucket brigade” was not too effective in fighting the fire, as it burned clear to the ground.
the Parker fight song in the hallways as a show of defiance. A few blocks west down Mainstreet, where the Warhorse Inn recently stood for 30 years, was a filling station. Nancy Priest, 86, said she remembers that the owner, Don Murray, had a dog named “Queenie” that would sleep in the middle of Mainstreet. Unwilling to budge from her comfortable spot, what little traffic there was would simply go around her.
What they did for fun
Franklin Harn, a 92-year-old with wise eyes and a flair for dramatic storytelling, said he and his friends would pool their money for a trip to Denver to see a movie. “You took your chances going through the cricks” during bad weather, as there was only one bridge between Parker and the state capital, he said. When there wasn’t enough money for such a long-distance trip, the traveling picture shows, featuring cowboys and the adventures of Wonder Dog, would occasionally stop in town, he said. Harn, a self-described “young whippersnapper” at the time, also told the audience
Keene Daiss, center, and other longtime Parker residents reminisce about the past during a gathering June 10 at Ruth Memorial Church in downtown Parker. Photo by Chris Michlewicz about the dances in Franktown on the first Saturday of every month. Teens from all over Douglas County would flock to the Pikes Peak Grange for the much-anticipated event. Jean Martin, whose roots are buried deep in Parker’s soil, said sports were also a cause for gatherings. Baseball games took place roughly where the field at O’Brien Park now stands. The park was named for her uncle Charlie. The Parker team played against squads from Sedalia, Elizabeth and Castle Rock, the latter of which frequently ended in all-out brawls. The team had the chance to play the Kansas City Monarchs, which at the time had Satchel Paige, one of the first African-American ballplayers.
The tragedies
Daiss, who lived in the still-standing twin house southeast corner of South Parker Road and what is now Stroh Road, reminisced about the terrible flood that raged down the

Cherry Creek corridor when Castlewood Canyon Dam broke during a storm in 1933. The waters took out vegetation along the creek and Daiss’s family “lost 20 acres of good farm land,” he said. Speaking of lost land, harsh words were tossed around when another sore subject, the Parker City Land Company, was broached. The out-of-state-company made plans to build a sprawling community, but abandoned the project and split town, leaving trusting Parker residents financially devastated. Martin recalled an agonizing three-month stint with the real estate development firm. “A lot of my friends were being taken,” she said. “I just had to get out of there.” But Martin, who grew up in what is now the Heath House, a historic landmark on Pikes Peak Drive, spoke fondly of the old days. She commented about the changes in Parker over the last eight decades, saying “I’ve seen it little and seen it big and I’ve grown with all of it.”
SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JunE 23, 2014

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Don’t be surprised if you experience a sudden spurt of energy strong enough to pull you out of that recent period of indecision and put you back in charge of your own goals. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) This is a good time for Leos and Leonas to set new goals regarding health, educational choices and possible career moves. The plans you make now could be a blueprint for your future. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) You might have much to offer a potential employer, but it can all be overwhelmed by too many details. Let the facts about you speak for themselves without any embellishments. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) This is a good week to balance your responsibilities to your work-a-day world with your obligations to the people in your private life. Expect news that could lead to a change in plans. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to nov 21) A changing attitude on the part of a once determined adversary could cause changes down the line. Be prepared to take advantage of an unexpected new opportunity. SAGITTARIUS (nov 22 to Dec 21) You’d be a truly wise Sagittarius to be skeptical about an offer that doesn’t answer all your questions. Even a colleague’s testimonial doesn’t replace facts that aren’t there. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) It’s a good idea to avoid spending on unnecessary purchases this week in order to keep a money reserve against a possible upcoming (but, fortunately, temporary) shortfall. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) More information is what you should demand regarding that workplace situation that recently came to light. Don’t be surprised at who might turn up as one of your supporters. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You might still be in a “treading water” mode, but by midweek, a shift in your aspect favors taking a more active role in pushing for the changes you feel are necessary. Good luck. BORN THIS WEEK: You exude a warm, caring attitude that comforts everyone who comes into your life. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Belser said she does not want to make a B movie and wants to make Colorado proud while putting its film industry workers on the map and offering them a chance to work on something unique. Belser is motivated to create something special, ideally a film that generates a groundswell of interest. But she has encountered her fair share of doubters, who give her a sarcastic “good luck” when they discover the “lightning speed” at which “Body Keepers” is being made, she said. The film will start shooting within the next two weeks, and Belser is laser-focused on a mid-October release in 50 Colorado theaters, just in time for Halloween.

Sabercat poised to take control Senior Linnin will no longer share quarterback position By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Chris Linnin won’t be looking over his shoulder as much when Castle View opens the 2014 high school football season. Linnin, a 6-foot-4 senior, shared the Sabercats’ quarterbacking duties last fall with Trevor Smeeton but coach Ryan Hollingshead plans to have only one starting QB this coming season. “We learned a lesson last year,” Hollingshead said, referring to rotating quarterbacks. “We tried to make everybody happy but we kind of hurt ourselves. They handled it pretty good. As a coach you’re in a bind. If a kid is struggling, do you put in the next kid or do you let him work through it? “Chris is coming back. In the last two years, he’s started half the games. He is really a third-year starter.” Linnin, who is sharing throwing passes this summer during 7-on-7 games, completed 43 of 80 passes for 716 yards last season and is anxious to assume full control of the Sabercats’ offense when the season opens in late August. “I’ve of course competed with other quarterbacks before but compared to last year, I feel like I actually own this team now,” Linnin said after playing in the Denver Broncos 7-on-7 tournament at All-City Stadium. “Mentally, it’s a relief that I don’t have to rotate. Last season, I’m in, throw a great pass and then the next play I’m out. So I don’t have to worry about that anymore.” Linnin dislocated his ankle and broke his fibula in a state playoff game last season against ThunderRidge but recovered enough to high jump for Castle View in the spring. “I haven’t thought about it,” said Linnin. “I still haven’t looked at the play. I don’t think it’s going to be a mental block for me. “As of right now the ankle is 110 percent. The track season was a recovery period. I always expect a lot from myself but track season was pretty rough. It definitely helped me get ready to play football.” Linnin is using the 7-on-7 games to improve his consistency. “My throwing, arm strength, accuracy
Castle View quarterback Chris Linnin passes the ball to wide receiver Blake Wessbecker during last week’s 7-on-7 tournament at All-City Stadium. Photos by Jim Benton hasn’t been a problem,” he said. “It’s just consistency, hitting the right spots and the right time. I’ve been working on faster reads and of course consistency.” Hollingshead is expecting to see improvement from his players who are competing in the 7-on-7 competition, which includes an eight-team ThunderRidge league. “7-on-7 is such a big teaching tool for our kids,” he said. “We have to learn our offense and defense better with young kids to fill big shoes. “And we have to learn how to compete. You don’t get enough chances to compete in football during the offseason because we don’t have clubs and everything else. Our skilled kids on offense are seniors but not a lot of them have played varsity.”

Cool off at the Colorado Sports Center this summer Monument ice rinks are home to more than 1,000 skaters By Danny Summers
dsummers @coloradocommunitymedia.com If you’re looking to find a cool spot to chill out this summer you may want to check out the icy surroundings of the Colorado Sports Center. Located in Monument, the Sports Center’s ownership team of Andrew Sherman, Michael Neppl and Harold Jordan, as well as a devoted staff and crew, continue to guarantee patrons of quality time on two full-size sheets of ice. “We had an opportunity to expand the property to 17 acres once we made the initial purchase of seven acres and 55,000 squarefeet of buildings in 2012,” Sherman said. “It really gives us a great opportunity to make this a full-service sports complex for the community.” The ownership’s vision includes building an outside soccer and lacrosse complex that could be used by area high school teams, as well as youth and adult groups in the TriLakes region and beyond. “Michael has already got part of the land created and prepared for a turf field and lights so we can have a place for teams to practice and play,” Sherman said. “And we want to
Michael Neppl, left, and Andrew Sherman are two of the three owners of the Colorado Sports Center in Monument. It is located off Old Denver Highway. Photo by Danny Summers continue to develop our two ice rinks.” When the ownership group purchased the two buildings and land, the second building (or back building) was fitted with artificial turf and used for a variety of sports. All of that was replaced with a nice sheet of ice that is now used for hockey and figure skaters - like Jason Brown, who finished ninth overall at last February’s Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. “Jason Brown is trying to be better today
than he was yesterday, and that’s sort of the philosophy we have,” Sherman said. The current ownership group has been involved with the Sports Center dating back more than a decade when the buildings housed incline skating. That surface was replaced in the main building in 2006 — the same year that Lewis-Palmer High School began its hockey program. The team now also has players from nearby Palmer Ridge High School.
It was also during that time that the highly successful youth Rampage hockey program began as a tenant. The Rampage has produced numerous Division I players over the years, as well as several professionals. “We just want people to know we are here and trying to make this place better every day,” Sherman said. “The better we can make it the more opportunities for local families to take advantage of it.” The facilities are heated with propane, but Neppl is taking the necessary steps to convert to natural gas. “We also want to create a lobby between the two buildings,” Neppl said. “We’re hoping to get that done this summer.” Neppl added that the enclosed lobby could run as much as $300,000. “The whole look will have a little more curb appeal,” Sherman said. Long-time NHL defenseman Al Pederson is in charge of running the youth and adult hockey programs. He oversees 36 adult teams and dozens of youth squads. “We have probably more than 1,000 hockey players skating here,” Neppl said. Pederson is not one to publicize the fact that he skated in two Stanley Cup Finals series. “Al is a humble, hard-working guy that is very loyal and we grateful that we have a relationship with him.” Visit www.cosportscenter.com for more information about the Monument rinks.

Former Arapahoe skater named DU captain Grant Arnold to lead Pioneers on ice next season By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Grant Arnold will be wearing a “C” on his sweater next season for the college hockey team he grew up watching. Arnold, who attended Arapahoe High School for three years, was named captain of the University of Denver hockey team for the 2014-15 season by coach Jim Montgomery. “I don’t want to say it’s a dream come true,” said Arnold. “I never really thought the opportunity would present itself. It was a huge honor just in general to come to DU, growing up watching them, watching them win the back-to-back championships (in 2004 and 2005). It’s a huge honor. I’m very blessed to have it.” Arnold, a 6-foot-1, 215-pound junior, isn’t a high-profile player who draws the immediate attention of opponents. He played last season on DU’s “Mash Line” and his gritty, physical play provided valuable contributions for the Pioneers that didn’t show up in statistics. In 76 games with DU over the past two seasons, Arnold has three goals and 11 points but now will take on an additional role as team captain. “I’ve been a captain before so I’m comfortable in the role,” said Arnold. “I was really, really happy I could get it this year.” Arnold has watched and tried to follow the example of several National Hockey League captains. “Obviously Joe Sakic growing up when the Avs were on their great run for those years,” said Arnold. “He really wasn’t the kind of player that I am but I always looked up to him. Today, I love Dustin Brown of the L.A. Kings. He plays a very physical style and he’s always so composed. He’s very intense with his teammates but he’s also always there for them and has their back. “Back in the day, I never got to see him
Grant Arnold, who attended Arapahoe High School for three years, was named captain of the University of Denver hockey team for the 2014-15 season. Courtesy photo play because I was too young but I watched a ton on highlights of Wendel Clark. He is the kind of the guy I love to watch in highlights and I try to play like he did. And Ray Bourque when he was here. That was really an emotional experience when he won his first Cup with the Avs.” Clark was a captain for the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1991-94 and Bourque served as the Boston Bruins captain for 21 seasons before finishing his career with Colorado. Arnold played three years of high school hockey for Arapahoe before leaving for Green Bay his senior year to play for the Gamblers Tier I team in the United States Hockey League. He played three seasons for the Gamblers before coming to DU. “For the most part these days you have to leave home and go play someplace else
if you’re not fortunate enough to have a junior league team in your hometown,” explained Arnold. “I hated to leave my senior year. It was a tough decision, but I wanted to pursue the hockey dream. “I can’t even put into words the experience I had in Green Bay. We won two national championships. I was the captain of the second one and it was insane. The year we didn’t win we made it to the finals and lost to Montgomery’s team in the championship.” Arnold was one of eight Colorado players on the DU roster last season. “I kind grew up in the era of hockey really growing in Colorado,” he added. “It’s been awesome to see. Now we have the Thunderbirds and Rampage, two elite AAA programs. When I was at Arapahoe we won
state championships and we had a great team. We had 13 AAA kids on our team. Hockey has really grown. It’s not at a level where other states are but it has excelled.” Arnold played for the Thunderbirds before moving on to the Gamblers and to DU. “Grant embodies what a hockey player is all about,” said former Pioneer player and Thunderbirds coach Angelo Ricci. “He plays with great energy, passion and has a high compete level. “His teammates feed off his attitude and work ethic which are certainly contagious throughout the locker room. I believe DU may have some players with more skill but I am not sure if they have any with more heart than Grant.”

Contintental League dominates Centennial in summer hoops clash ThunderRidge rolls to 6-0 record, while four others go 5-1
Continental vs. Centennial Challenge team By team Results
By Jim Benton
Continental League ThunderRidge 6-0 Highlands Ranch 5-1 Legend 5-1 Mountain Vista 5-1 Regis 5-1 Chaparral 4-2 Heritage 4-2 Rock Canyon 3-3
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com It is only summer and high school basketball players and teams are polishing their skills for next season. Still, it seemed strange to watch Highlands Ranch play without a big man in the pivot. Zach Braxton, the dominating 6-foot-9 center who was the 2013-14 Continental League Player of the Year, has graduated and Highlands Ranch will be competing next season with 6-4 front line players. “We don’t have a big guy but still we’re not bad,” said Highlands Ranch coach Bob Caton. “We go 6-4, 6-4. So we won’t be small but it’s not like having Zach.” Caton was pleased with what he’s saw from his team in the Continental-Centennial Challenge tournament held June 19-21 at Heritage High School. The Falcons have three regulars back from last season in Ryley Steward, Keith Coleman and Patrick Sullivan. “We’re trying to see what our team makeup is going to be like next year and then work to their strengths and try to improve on their weaknesses,” said Caton. “We’ve worked a little bit on different concepts, just getting the players to kind of know each other.” ThunderRidge had only one senior on last season’s team and the Grizzlies were the lone unbeaten team in the Continental-Centennial Challenge, winning all six games. “We’ve done well this summer,” admitted ThunderRidge coach Joe Ortiz. “At Metro we were 5-1, at CU we went 6-0 and then here we went 6-0. We are 5-1 in the East League. We’ve lost to East and
Centennial League Eaglecrest 4-2 Cherry Creek 2-4 Cherokee Trail 2-4 Smoky Hill 2-4 Grandview 1-5 Arapahoe 0-6 Mullen 0-6 Overland 0-6
Highlands Ranch guard Ryley Stewart, left, looks for a way around a Cherry Creek defender during the ContinentalCentennial Challenge basketball tournament at Heritage High School. Photo by Jim Benton we lost to Eaglecrest. Those are our only two losses. We’ve had some good wins. We’re doing well but it’s summer. “Teams are missing people, sometimes there are different things going on and you are playing more than you normally play. Most of the time we have 10 or 11 kids. So you take it with a grain of salt but we’re pleased. The kids are finding different ways to win.” Ortiz was quick to point out the advantages of summer basketball. “Development, development, always development,” echoed Ortiz. “The most important thing is development. You are not as up and down after the wins and losses because it’s summer. Our kids do get some exposure and we are evaluating them but it’s strictly development. It’s all
about getting better. Wins in December mean a heck of a lot more.” Continental League teams won 37 games against their Centennial counterparts. Centennial teams won only 11 games in the three-day tourney. ThunderRidge was 6-0 while Highlands Ranch, Mountain Vista, Legend and Regis Jesuit compiled 5-1 records. Chaparral and Heritage went 4-2 while Rock Canyon won three games and lost three contests. Douglas County and Castle View didn’t participate. Eaglecrest paced Centennial teams with a 4-2 record. Cherry Creek was 2-4 and Arapahoe, Mullen and Overland all went winless. “The tournament went pretty well,” said Heritage coach and tournament di-

rector Jentry Byleveld. “There were some really competitive games. Everyone had to bring their A game otherwise they got beat because all the teams were pretty good. “What was nice was you got to see different styles. Summer is for the individuals and the fall is for the team. There is a lot of development and that’s why this tournament was one of the better ones. “The competition and coaches can see what they have out there, mixing lineups up. What is nice is in the Centennial League there is a little more athletic ability and we don’t get to see that in our league as much. It gives us a taste of who can do it and who can’t. You can really evaluate players big time.”

sports roundup Flag football coming Grid Iron, an NFL-approved youth flag football league, will open play this September at Mountain Range Middle School in Highlands Ranch. The eight-week season kicks off Sept. 13 and includes a Super Bowl tournament. There are plans to develop additional leagues in Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties over the next few years. Grid Iron Flag Football is for boys and girls ages 5-14 and includes all-girls leagues. For information contact norm@gridironflag.com or visit the website at www.gridironflag.com.
Creek’s Tierney resigns Cherry Creek girls lacrosse coach Brianne Tierney has resigned to pursue possible college coaching opportunities. Tierney, daughter of University of Denver men’s lacrosse coach Bill Tierney, led the Bruins to the state title in her initial season as Creek coach in 2013 and her team finished second last season giving her a 28-9 two-year coaching record. Creek will be seeking its third girls lacrosse coach since 2009 but it should be an attractive position since the Bruins have played in every state title game since the sport was sanctioned 16 years ago and has captured 10 state titles along the way.
Macdonald repeats Ross Macdonald of the Country Club of Castle Pines captured the Colorado Golf Association Junior Stroke Play title for the second consecutive year. He is the first player to repeat since Scott Peterson won three straight championships from 1987 through 1989. Macdonald tied his Valor Christian High School teammate Coby Welch of The Links Golf Course for medalist honors with an even-par 210 total after three rounds at Indian Tree Golf Course in Arvada. Macdonald captured the title June 20 on the second playoff hole with a 5-foot par putt. Ashley Tait of Littleton, the daughter of Raccoon Creek head golf pro Pat Tait, finished second June 15 in the Decatur-Forsyth Classic of the LPGA Symnetra Tour. Tait tied for first with Madison Pressel at 210 but lost on the first playoff hole. She earned $9,043 and has made $12,594 in 12 tourneys this season.
Herman, McCaffrey honored Mountain Vista’s Jake Herman was named the Douglas County League boys lacrosse coach of the year and Chaparral’s Colton McCaffrey was selected as the 2014 Player of the Year. First-team selections were: Zach Anderson, D, Sr., Rock Canyon; Evan Baker, AT, Jr., Highlands Ranch; Paxton Boyer, GK, So., Mountain Vista; Conrad Coppage, AT, Sr., Rock Canyon; Sam Eli, D, Jr., Mountain Vista; Caleb Espinoza, GK, So., Palmer; Keenan Foshe, MF, Sr., Chaparral; Hunter Graefe, LSM, Fr., Chaparral; Brian Hancock, MF, Jr., Mountain Vista; Sam Horning, MF, Sr., Palmer; Colton Jackson, MF, Jr., Rock Canyon; Jordan Jones, D, Sr., Highlands Ranch; Colton McCaffrey, AT, Sr., Chaparral; Josh Miller, AT, Sr., Douglas County; Collin Munro, MF, Fr., Mountain Vista; Kyle Pless, LSM, Jr., Mountain Vista; Joe Quatrochi, FO, Sr., Highlands Ranch; Blake Sandman, D, Sr., ThunderRidge; Max Tuttle, MR, Jr., Castle View; Evan Villanueva, D, Sr., Chaparral; Alex Womack, AT, Sr., Mountain Vista; Evan Wong, MF, Sr. Highlands Ranch.
