Teenager partners up with Castle Rock Half Marathon to assist Semper Fi Fund By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Boy Scout Caspar Placke used the Castle Rock Half Marathon on June 28 to help raise money and awareness for wounded veterans. Placke’s Eagle Scout Project aimed to raise money for the Semper Fi Fund with a goal of $12,500, which is the cost of an Action Track Chair. Placke, 13, will be a freshman at Regis Jesuit High School in the fall. “I didn’t raise enough, but I did raise $3,000,” Placke said. “That money will be well spent. It will go to sports equipment and adaptive technology and all kinds of things for the Semper Fi Fund. It was never really the main purpose to raise money.

The main purpose (of my project) was to raise the awareness for these soldiers.” Placke said he is dedicated to sharing the Semper Fi Fund mission and to remind everyone of the continuing needs of our wounded, injured, and ill Service Members. He has coordinated his efforts with the Castle Rock Economic Development Council, the Castle Rock Town Council, and the race organizers for the Castle Rock Half Marathon. Placke moved to Colorado a little more than a year ago from Virginia, where he had volunteered by assisting physically wounded veterans from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. It had a deep effect on the young scout. “We took them out in boats on the Potomac and drove them around and it was just awesome to see one day where they could just have fun and forget about all of their misfortune,” Placke said. “I’ve always felt a sense of guilt toward these warriors.

Castle View High School Principal James Calhoun believes the majority of high-school students are compliant and somewhat disengaged, with untapped reservoirs for deep learning. A new program that will be introduced at CVHS this fall is designed to reach that core. By meeting students where their interests lie, and building the learning from there, Calhoun believes their intellectual passions will ignite. The projectbased approach to learning is called Mosaic. It’s unique to Castle View, though it’s modeled after — and includes elements from — similar programs already used in school districts nationwide. The pilot program launches in August with 96 volunteer freshmen and sophomores. Sophomore McKinley Breen didn’t hesitate to sign up for the program’s inaugural year. “I’ve never been in project-based learning, and that’s why I’m so excited,” Breen said. “Most of my classes are incredibly boring to me. The one exception was my humanities class. It’s a mini-Mosaic.” Michael Schneider, one of the four Castle View teacher who will devote themselves to Mosaic full-time in 2014-15, taught that humanities class. Assignments included researching poverty-plagued countries, then Mosaic continues on Page 8

Chamber’s chief talks town growth Hometown, not small town, is what Ridler sees in vision By Mike DiFerdinando

When Pam Ridler, the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, first came to town, the community was home to just 17,000 people. “There wasn’t a lot here,” Ridler said. “The best thing at the time was that Castle Rock was between the two metro areas (Denver and Colorado Springs) and people could go back and forth between the two.” Ridler came to Castle Rock for her present position in 1998 after six years working for the chamber in Fort Collins, which had a population of 120,000 at the time. Over the last 16 years, she has seen Castle Rock grow to a community of more than 50,000 people — a benchmark reached in 2012.

Dedicated gardeners grow together As Carol Ford makes her coffee in the quiet of early morning, she never fails to take in the view out her kitchen window — of a metal, neighborhood mailbox framed, these days, by draping trumpet vines and blooming roses along a weathered wood fence. “I love to look at the flowers when I look at the mailbox,” she says. “It inspires me. … And Larry’s always out there, looking and pulling out the weeds.” Larry Davis, 77, is always out there, snipping spent branches and blooms with his pocketknife and clearing away offending trespassers. So, too — but later in the day (Larry is the early riser) — is his wife, Deanna, 73, sitting on her stool, digging in the dirt, minding the beds with motherly care. Come spring, just like the crocuses bursting through the ground after a season of hibernation, Larry and Deanna emerge to tend to their garden, a visual delight that has, over the years, persuaded some driving by to stop and roll down their windows to express appreciation. “Oh,” Larry tells them, “if you like the front, you must see the back.” And you must. But before you step under the trellis that Larry built and past the small stone frog that says, “Welcome to our garden,” you should remember once there was nothing on this corner plot of land in the middle of tract-home suburbia. “It just evolved. We just kept adding …,” Deanna says. “I don’t think either of us could do it alone.” She smiles. “We’re getting to the point we’re not going to be able to do it together.” Larry and Deanna moved into their Highlands Ranch home in 1994. Their first planting: three locust trees. “We wanted shade,” Deanna says. Larry built the six-foot fence around the yard, a few times parking his car in the street at night and turning on the headlights so he could finish. They both worked at the time, she as

a Realtor, he as a tool design engineer for Lockheed Martin, so they hired someone to plan the yard. And in 1995, the basic layout was planted. They married, each for the second time, in 1996, in their back yard, with 100 guests. The pond for the goldfish and water lilies happened in 1999, the year they retired. Larry later built the spacious, graceful deck next to the pond and the oval bed in the front. And, slowly but surely, the garden kept growing, reflecting not only the shared passion of creating something beautiful, but also their individual personalities. She likes neat and orderly. He likes unusual and a little messy. Deanna, originally from the San Francisco area, brought the Japanese maples, dwarf evergreens and Asian-inspired contributions. “All the Japanese stuff,” she says, “is kind of my heart.” Larry, from Iowa, brought the strange, unique plants like the rare-for-America hocksweed, and the full-bodied peonies, which in the Midwest are frequently planted in cemeteries. “They bloom around Memorial Day,” he says. “A lot of people plant peonies so there are flowers on the graves.” Today, the gardens contain hundreds of varieties of plants. Deanna and Larry each spend about 20 hours a week caring for them. Now, step under the trellis. This is some of what you’ll see: Raspberries, blackberries and grapes tumble along the back. Succulents root in lava rocks by the pond, inhabited by

about 50 goldfish and several kinds of delicate water lilies. A weeping cherry droops over a small path. Red and green Japanese maples. Graceful purple clematis. Pink penstemons. Purple salvia. Delicate coral bells. A congregation of herbs — basil, fennel, parsley, rosemary, oregano, mint — grows in containers near the kitchen window. A water fountain that was a wedding gift. A bird bath that belonged to Deanna’s mother. A twisted Harry Lauder’s walking stick bush. Roses. “This one is like peppermint candy,” Larry says, cupping a red-and-whitestriped bloom in his hand. The iron bench under the crabapple, where the yard bends, is one of Deanna’s and Larry’s favorite spots. The corner always seems to collect a breeze, and it’s good for enjoying the sights. “It’s kind of a peaceful oasis,” Larry says of the back yard. “The birds like it.” He points up to a branch in a locust tree. “That little blue house has a family of wrens in it.” The front, too, has its charm. Blue delphiniums - a neighborhood favorite - stand guard near the trellis. A rock garden holds origanum — nicknamed the wormy plant by Larry — and yellow Missouri evening primrose, whose blooms last just one day, trail along its border. Snapdragons in every color reseed every year. There’s the fuzzy lamb’s ear the preschool children used to file down the street to feel. Larry’s new, small cactus garden next to the stairs. Deanna’s nine pots of coleus — with striking green and red leaves — on the stoop. And the ornamental pear tree by the driveway that blooms white, leafs out green, and, finally, turns a yellow-orange in the fall until the first storm strips the limbs bare. “One year, for fun, we planted … the plant you like to eat?” Larry turns to Deanna. “Artichoke.”

Larry nods and smiles. “People would say, `What in the world is that?’” “People still ask us about that one,” Deanna says. “We just did it for fun,” Larry says. “Just once.” The garden, essentially, contains many of life’s basic ingredients. Change. Transformation. Anticipation. Joy. Death. Rebirth. This particular one is a work of love that seems to assure a certain order in the universe. “When you’re finished growing your kids,” Deanna says, “there is a nurturing quality to growing plants.” “I enjoy just seeing it every day,” Larry says. “It seems like something new is in bloom every day … when the first little crocus comes up, just to see this come to life in the spring, and then all summer blooming.” And even though the garden belongs to Larry and Deanna, it has been a gift shared — sometimes unknowingly, other times directly — with the neighborhood. Suzi Miller, a gardener herself who lives down the street, has taken home cuttings of water lilies and fennel for her yard. She can spend hours talking plants with Larry and Deanna. “For someone like me, there’s so much to look at,” she says. “It gives me inspiration. …” Joan McGill has lived across the street for 18 years. “It’s just a joy to look at their beautiful garden,” she says. “If we could all slow down enough to enjoy the beauty.” We should. Because if we did, Larry and Deanna would be sure to invite us in. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

Weaver, Spurlock, Romann get GOP nods At county level, primary saw contested races for sheriff, commissioner and coroner Staff report Three elected offices featured contested races at the Republican primary level in Douglas County. The lone Democrat seeking a county office — surveyor candidate William Buntrock — did not have primary opposition June 24. The following are results reported by the county in the contested GOP races:

Douglas County sheriff Undersheriff Tony Spurlock will be the Republican nominee for Douglas County sheriff after defeating write-in candidate John Anderson with an overwhelming majority of the vote. Spurlock, who garnered 85 percent of the vote, is a Colorado native and 17-year resident of Douglas County. He began his career at the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in 1980. Spurlock has served as undersheriff for the last eight years, leading a staff of more than 460 and overseeing all areas of opSpurlock erations and administration on behalf of current Sheriff David Weaver, who is seeking to become a county commissioner. Prior to his appointment as undersheriff, Spurlock commanded all major areas of the sheriff’s office, including the investigation, detention and patrol divisions. Spurlock has also served as Douglas County’s SWAT commander and as leader of the 18th Judicial District’s Critical Response Team. Anderson, a commander with the Castle Rock Police Department, has been a police officer for more than 36 years. Anderson also ran for the sheriff’s office in 2006 against Weaver, whose second term expires later this year. During his campaign, Anderson was often critical of the current sheriff’s administration and Spurlock’s ties to Weaver. “There doesn’t need to be a change,” Spurlock said the morning after the election. “There’s nothing wrong with (the sheriff’s office) and we feel very confident that we have the support of the citizens of Douglas County. We’re very happy and pleased with the outcome, and I know that we’ll do the same in November.” Spurlock will face Libertarian Brock McCoy in the November general election. No Democrat is seeking the office.

Douglas County commissioner Sheriff David Weaver handily won the Republican nomination for Douglas County Commissioner, District 1. Weaver defeated entrepreneur Stevan Strain 68 percent to 32 percent. Weaver is vying to replace Jack Hilbert, who was term-limited, in the November general election. Weaver has served as Douglas County sheriff since 2005 and says he comes with “in-depth knowledge” of issues within the county. During his campaign, he promised to be an “experienced, effective, honest and professional leader.” Weaver Both Weaver and Strain live in Parker. Strain has served on various local boards, including the Douglas County Libraries Board of Trustees, the Douglas County Planning Commission and the Douglas County Open Space Advisory Committee. Weaver faces no opposition in the general election. He may not have to wait until November to take his seat, however, as he could soon be appointed to replace Hilbert, who decided to leave the post early for a job with the state.

Douglas County coroner In the closest of the three races, Jill Romann defeated Tracey Montano 56 percent to 44 percent. Romann is the Douglas County chief deputy coroner and a medico-legal death investigator. Her 23-year career includes working in urban and rural regional medical examiner’s offices in Minnesota and Colorado. She has worked with more than 45 Romann law enforcement agencies in all areas of the coroner’s office. On the website douglascountycoroner. com, Romann writes, “I chose the Douglas County Coroner’s Office over other offers of employment, after interviewing with Lora Thomas and her staff of physicians and investigators.” Thomas, elected coroner in 2010, decided against seeking re-election, instead making a run as a Republican candidate for sheriff this year. Her candidacy did not advance past the caucus process. Montano is in her 19th year working for the Denver Coroner’s Office, where she is a medico-legal death investigator. Romann is unopposed in the November election.

Project’s price tag for two sites totals $3.3 million By MikeDiFerdinando

mdiferdiando @coloradocommunitymedia.com A new agreement will help improve emergency communication systems in the southern portion of Douglas County near Larkspur. On June 24, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners approved a communications system agreement with Motorola Solutions Inc. for purchase, installation, erection and testing of a public-safety telecommunications system and tower for two sites at a cost of $3.3 million. The southern end of Douglas County, especially from the Larkspur area to the south county line, has had minimal or nonexistent public-safety radio coverage. “I think that anything that improves public safety, and this does by improving overall radio transmissions to our officers and their response to emergency situations, is critical. So without a doubt, I support this project,” District 1 Commissioner Jack Hilbert said. The agreement with Motorola will provide for the technical design, fabrication and erection of 125- and 180-foot-tall telecommunications towers, installation of equipment on the towers including antennas, microwave dishes, software and transceivers, and the upgrade

of equipment at the existing Westcreek tower. It also includes the fabrication and construction of an equipment building, generator and security fence at both new tower sites. One site will be on a leased 10,000-squarefoot lot with access and utilities easements, on property owned by New Covenant Church, 77 Perry Park Ave., north of Larkspur. The other will be on Woodmoor Mountain in southern Douglas County, on land to be purchased by the county upon approval by the Woodmoor Mountain Homeowners Association. The county will lease the needed land from the church at a cost of $18,000 a year, which includes both the use of land and needed utilities. Officials said there was no county open space in the vicinity that provided the same coverage area as the church location. The county currently uses the same Motorola system for its other emergency communications. Though officials explored other options, it was determined that using the same system would help avoid incompatibilities with the emergency infrastructure that is already in place. “We’ve done our due diligence. We’ve explored other technologies and determined what could meet our requirements at a price point that made sense,” Hilbert said. “It involves capability with a number of other systems. I mean, we have sheriff’s cars that need updating, we have radio systems that need to communicate, and local emergency agencies that need to be able to cooperate.”

Buck wins GOP primary in CD-4 Weld County DA secures party nod Staff report

Beauprez grabs GOP nod in governor’s race Former Congressman also emerged from primary in 2006 By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Former Congressman Bob Beauprez emerged from a crowded field of Republican hopefuls to capture the GOP nomination for governor on June 24. The native Coloradan hopes to erase memories of an unsuccessful 2006 bid for the governor’s mansion by defeating Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper in the fall. Speaking to an enthusiastic group of supporters at the downtown Denver Athletic Club, Beauprez invoked themes of freedom and liberty and a direction toward fewer government regulations. “There is a difference between living and just kind of getting along and living free,” Beauprez said during his victory speech. Beauprez defeated fellow candidates Tom Tancredo, also a former congressman, Secretary of State Scott Gessler and former state Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp to capture the Republican nomination. Beauprez garnered just over 30 percent of the more than 380,000 votes that were cast. Tancredo finished second with 26.6 percent. Gessler took third with 23.2 percent of the tally. Kopp trailed the pack with 19.8 percent. Beauprez tried to set aside any doubts about party unity when he told supporters that he had spoken with the other three candidates, who had called to congratulate him on his win. Beauprez said the contest has always been “about who the real opponent in this race was. It’s John Hickenlooper.” “Ladies and gentlemen, we are a team,” he said to hoots and applause from his supporters. Beauprez took aim at Hickenlooper several times in his remarks to supporters. He called out the governor for signing

laws that increase renewable energy mandates for rural electric cooperatives and for his support of gun legislation, such as universal background checks and bans on high-capacity ammunition magazines. And, what is expected to be a key campaign issue, Beauprez blasted Hickenlooper for granting a temporary reprieve last year for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in 1996. “If he won’t lead, if he won’t enforce the laws in the state of Colorado, I will and Nathan Dunlap will see justice served,” Beauprez said. Republican voters answered the question of whether they would give Beauprez another chance, following his doubledigit loss in a 2006 governor’s race against Bill Ritter. Beauprez made no reference to that defeat during his victory speech. But in a prior interview he likened himself to John Elway, who had also lost badly prior to winning two Super Bowls. Beauprez and Tancredo were atop public polling leading up to the race. But a round of late campaign advertisements that questioned whether he was the right fit to win a general election may have hurt Tancredo. Some Republicans were concerned that Tancredo’s polarizing and well-known views on immigration could hurt the party with moderates and Latino voters in November. Neither Tancredo nor Kopp could be reached for comment prior to Colorado Community Media’s print deadline. Gessler said he was disappointed with the results, but said he was proud of his “respectful” performance. “I thought we ran a great campaign overall,” he said. “Obviously, things didn’t turn out the way we wanted. It is what it is.” Hickenlooper congratulated Beauprez through an emailed press release in which the governor also touted the state’s recent uptick in economic numbers. “Over the past four years, we’ve seen Colorado go from 40th to fourth in job creation, and we’ve seen unemployment drop from 9 percent to 5.8 percent,” Hickenlooper said. “We’re committed to keeping the positive momentum going until Colorado is number one in the country for job creation.”

Pan of grease ignites apartment fire Staff report Castle Rock firefighters responded to a blaze at a fourplex the morning of June 26. A tenant called to report a fire in the kitchen area of the apartment at 3:15 a.m. He then fled the building in the 900 block of South Street. About 35 fire personnel arrived and contained the blaze within 20 minutes. Firefighters from Castle Rock, Larkspur, Franktown and South Metro were on scene. The cause of the fire was determined to be a pan of grease that was left on a stove. Firefighters assisted in evacuating the entire building of eight tenants. No one was injured and no pets were lost in the fire. The apartment where the fire originated and the second floor apartment above are completely destroyed and the structure is compromised. The other two units had fire, smoke and water damage. “Though the loss in this fire is tragic, we are thankful that no one was hurt,” Castle Rock Fire Chief Art Morales said. The apartments are uninhabitable, and the Red Cross is working with the residents on relocation arrangements.

Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck has captured the Republican Party’s nomination for the open 4th Congressional District seat. Buck collected about 44 percent of the 73,387 votes that were cast. His closest competitor in the race, state Sen. Scott Renfroe of Greeley, garnered about 24 percent of the vote. Weld County Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer finished third with 16.4 percent while Steve Laffey, a New England political transplant, trailed the pack with 15.4 percent. Buck is seeking the seat that is being vacated by Rep. Cory Gardner, who is running for the U.S. Senate this fall. Buck was the most well known of the four candidates. In 2010, he lost a high-profile U.S. Senate race to current Sen. Michael Bennet in a close contest. Buck, who held his election night party in Greeley, could not be reached for comment by Colorado Community Media’s print deadline. Buck will face Democrat Vic Meyers and Castle Rock Libertarian Jess Loban in the November general election. The 4th District encompasses much of Colorado’s eastern plains, but also includes Lone Tree, Parker, Castle Rock and Elbert County.

Keep `happy’ on list of things to be The other day I happened to be at the Park Meadows mall. As I was just the hired help for the day, my role was really just to drive the car, carry the bags, and pay at checkout time. While in Macy’s I had a pretty cool experience and thought I would share it with you here. So as I sat in a chair and waited in the ladies shoe department — yes, I said it, the ladies shoe department — the background music caught my attention. Not so much because of the volume, but it was a very catchy tune that brought me back to the 1970s. The Partridge Family’s “Come on Get Happy.” And yes, some would say I just may be stuck in the 1970s regarding my musical preferences. It was awesome enough that I recognized it, but as I looked around I noticed that I was not the only one in the store tapping my toes and singing along quietly to the music. You may be doing the same right now, as you also know the song. There were actually others singing a little out loud, some women dancing a little in their own space, a few other guys nodding their heads and tapping their toes to the beat, and I swear I thought that a “flash mob” was about to happen right there in Macy’s at any moment. The song actually had a group of strangers in the store smiling, singing, and even

dancing without one bit of encouragement other than the lyrics to the song. How amazing and awesome is that? If you have listened to local radio recently, you have also probably heard the song “Happy” by Pharrel. And you have probably heard it or have seen him perform it at an awards show or on television somewhere. I mean, it is like everywhere, and seems to be on the radio a lot. And why not? I have to admit that as much as I hear the song “Happy,” it actually makes me just a little bit happier than I was in the previous moment, maybe even tapping my toes and fingers a little bit to the tune as well whether I am working, walking, or driving. So the question I have asked myself since my “Come on Get Happy” experience in Macy’s is this, “What else triggers happiness?”

Some of us, me included, can get so caught up in our busy-ness and our business that we completely forget about being happy, or at least let it slip through our fingers from time to time. Maybe it’s a song, maybe it’s a workout, maybe it’s a good book, a smile, a hug, an accomplishment, skiing, golfing, hiking, a friend, a child, a feeling of love, being loved, and being in love, and hundreds of other possibilities that bring us back to that feeling of happiness and joy. What are your triggers? “Come on Get Happy,” “Happy,” “Shiny Happy People,” “Hakuna Matata,” “Don’t Worry Be Happy” and “Joy to the World” are just a few of the songs that work for me when it comes to adding a little more pep to my step when I hear them. How about you? Is it a song or something else that triggers happy thoughts and gets you back on the happy track of life? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we remember to balance our busy-ness with happiness it will be a better than good week for sure. So come on … get happy. Michael Norton is a resident of Highlands Ranch, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation and the CEO/founder of www.candogo.com.

Picturing people who rocked my world “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was released on June 1, 1967. I haven’t been the same since. How many people or things or events in your life have made that kind of a difference? Some moments are immediately indelible and some take time to develop. I can still remember the first time I saw Jennifer, but there were no love arrows thrown down on me. “Huh?” That might have been the first thing I ever said to her. She referred to someone we both knew, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying. I said, “Speak up. Speak with distinction.” Oh, well, it seems to have worked out. When I listen to “Sgt. Pepper’s,” I don’t listen to the whole album. Some of it I can do without. But some of it means more to me than I can explain. The disc jockey at KFWB would say, “Double Beatles,” and I would get the chills, when the intro of “A Day in the Life” would come rumbling, again, out of my cheap radio. I was an art student in 1967. Album covers were fine art to me. The cover of “Sgt. Pepper’s” is phenomenal. It was created by Jann Haworth and Peter Blake. The Beatles just named names, and

their images were assembled on the cover. Dion and Lenny Bruce. Carl Jung and Edgar Allan Poe. Fred Astaire, Bob Dylan, Aldous Huxley, Laurel and Hardy. James Joyce, Tom Mix, Oscar Wilde. Some personalities were rejected for a variety of reasons: Leo Gorcey, one of the “Dead End Kids,” wanted $400. Idiot. Gandhi was supposed to be placed next to Lewis Carroll, but if he showed up on the cover, India wouldn’t allow the record to be printed. Jesus Christ ( John’s idea) and Hitler were both rejected. I looked at the cover again recently, and my little narrative brain said, “What if that were your cover?” You should do the same thing that I am about to do. The cover depicts chosen individuals, along with a bunch of other things, like a 9-inch Sony television, owned by Paul

McCartney, and a velvet snake. I would be sure to have my father’s flight jacket on my cover. And a vessel of chip brushes and paint thinner. I would have a likeness of Gerry Goffin. Goffin just died. He co-wrote “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” There would be likenesses of Charles Dickens, Oscar Levant and Dorothy Parker. David Letterman. Warren Spahn. “Spahn and Sain and pray for rain.” Of course, Otis Redding. I would want to have a few inexplicables on the cover. Judge Crater and the Collyer brothers, and some west coast luminary named Collier. Michael Collier. I lived at 208 Ireland Avenue and he lived at 198 Ireland Avenue. We were both undecided teenagers. He still shines on. Pink Floyd. They would be on the cover. Smitty, certainly. E.E. Cummings. How do you get a name like that? Nat King Cole. The Del-Vikings. The Everly Brothers would be a cinch. The Skyliners. Edward Everett Horton and Preston Sturges. Greg Watts, another dear pal. Are you working on your list? The Shirelles, Josephine Baker, Billie Holiday, Matt Holliday, Captain Harry E. Smith,

Governor’s shocking confession begs more questions Coloradans recently were shocked to hear Gov. John Hickenlooper apologize to 55 elected county sheriffs for not vetoing the 2013 legislation that outlawed gun magazines that hold over 15 rounds. Our progressive governor claimed that he hadn’t been aware of the sheriffs’ opposition to the bill until after he had signed the bill. If the governor was in fact unaware of that opposition, he was the only one in Denver who was in that state of ignorance. Their testimony against the bill in two committee hearings was well covered in the press. That was not the most shocking part of the governor’s confession. What was most appalling was Hickenlooper’s statement that after he signed the bill and saw the intense public reaction, he sent his staff looking for the facts — facts “we should have had from the beginning.” Wow. You research the facts after you have signed the bill? So, we are asked to believe that Hickenlooper was either unaware or uninterested in the testimony of nearly 200 witnesses who came to the Capitol to talk about the exposed deep flaws in the legislation. That’s the same Capitol where he sits. Now, 15 months after he signed the bill,

he suggests — in a typically evasive manner — he might have vetoed the bill if he had been aware of the sheriffs’ adamant opposition. But that strains credulity in view of the governor’s behavior in the 2014 session. He was offered a chance to support HB14-1151, which would have repealed the 2013 gun magazine bill. Instead, he remained silent. What is even more disturbing is that Gov. Hickenlooper demonstrated the same lack of leadership by signing another group of bills passed on straight party-line votes by his out-of-control Democrat majority — bills changing the way we conduct our elections. Three bills — HB13-1303, the massive election reform bill passed in 2013, and two

election law bills passed in 2014, HB14-1164 and SB14-158 — were enacted on straight party-line votes without a peep of criticism from our “hands across the aisle” governor. That our governor was presented with three election code overhaul bills written by the majority Democrats without any Republican support ought to have sounded alarm bells in his office. State election code sets the rules for electing our lawmakers from the state Capitol to Durango and Yuma and Trinidad. Surely, any responsible public official believes those basic “rules of the road” ought to be genuinely bipartisan, not the plaything of one political party with a temporary majority in the Legislature. But our governor signed all of them and ignored the warnings of Republicans and the elected constitutional officer with responsibility for administering those election laws, the Secretary of State. That office was deliberately excluded from the drafting of 1303. In the 2014 sessions, majority Democrats again rammed through “election reform” bills unanimously opposed by all 28 House Republicans and all 17 Senate Republicans. The governor did not think the party-line

character of the votes on those election law reforms warranted his veto. But gun laws and election reform were not the only bills enacted by Democrats on party-line votes over unanimous Republican objections. In the 2014 session, there were nine bills passed on party-line votes in one of both chambers. The governor signed all of them. Hickenlooper somehow mustered the courage in 2014 to veto five minor bills that had passed on bipartisan votes, but lacked the moral fortitude to veto a single bill passed on party-line votes. Hickenlooper’s much-publicized commitment to the “bipartisan spirit of give and take” was conspicuously absent when it came to the legislation considered “top priority” by his fellow Democrats in both 2013 and 2014. In place of a veto pen, we saw only a huge rubber stamp. There is a word for that brand of “bipartisanship.” It’s called hypocrisy.

You learn by doing, and you learn on your own. That’s great for me because it’s hard for me to even sit at the movie theater.” That level of enthusiasm is exactly what Calhoun hopes all Mosaic students will experience. “If we define what a student has to learn and force him to learn it, the very best we get from him is compliance,” Calhoun said. “And that’s not good enough in our society. “If we get students to pursue what they’re passionate about, it’s going to lead to learning things that are meaningful to them.” Calhoun described it as flipping the standard educational model that starts by telling students what they need to know. As an example, he pointed to a teen who loves to skateboard. Most schools consider that a hobby engaged in outside the school. Under the Mosaic program, it could instead become

The town’s population is expected to grow to 100,000 at build-out, which could come as early as 2030. “I saw a lot of growth, mostly in rooftops. But in communities, businesses will come after the rooftops come. And so as Castle Rock started getting more homes, mostly in the Meadows, then all of a sudden business started to come,” she said. “Once we (reached) 50,000 population, the doors started to open. Other, larger businesses began to put Castle Rock on the radar. It’s amazing. When I was up in Fort Collins, and Loveland hit 50,000, the same thing happened. There’s something about that 50,000 number.” Ridler said that while larger businesses have moved into the area over the last decade,

Like the learning it’s designed to inspire, the program eventually will spiral outward to encompass all Castle View students — and ideally, even the elementary and middle schools that feed it. Each student will have an individualized learning plan that emphasizes education free of bell schedules and classroom walls, building their own schedules and learning to manage their time. But students will be guided in their chosen project, meet weekly with advisers, and participate in group seminars and electives. “Students will be accountable for their learning path,” Calhoun said. “We want to create an environment where learning takes place when the students are ready for it. It doesn’t have to be first period. It could be after school or during the summer.” Castle View is coordinating its Mosaic programs with community partners, businesses with leaders willing to mentor students and involve them in the work they do. “These are real-world problems and realworld solutions (done) outside the walls of our school,” Schneider said. “Within each of those projects is true interdisciplinary learning. “The number one thing we need to do is get students to take ownership of their learn-

ing, not be on their own and do whatever they want, but to give them a real purpose for their learning. I’m tired of telling students what to learn, when to learn and how to learn it. I don’t mind telling them what they need to learn to get their diploma. But when they do it, how they do it, what books they read — I don’t feel I have to tell them that.” That kind of student-led learning prepares them better, Castle View leaders believe, not only for college, but for a high-tech, rapidly changing world in which jobs that exist today may not be relevant tomorrow. Four teachers are devoted full-time to the

program as it launches this fall, and seven more are working part-time on it. Several other teachers are “on deck,” Calhoun said, training to join the effort in anticipation of its growth in future years. In total, almost a quarter of the high school’s 110-teacher staff is working on some aspect of Mosaic. “Am I confident this is the way of the future? No, I’m not,” Calhoun said. “Am I confident change needs to be made and this is a step in the right direction? Yes, I am. I’m more than confident; I’m convinced we’ve got to do something different.”

it, is set up to provide immediate financial assistance and lifetime support for wounded, critically-ill and injured members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. “With the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ending, there are 50,000 mentally and physically wounded veterans coming back. That’s 50,000 people that gave up a part of their lives. On top of that there are 1,500 amputee veterans,” he said. Since the Semper Fi Fund was established in 2004, the organization has issued more than 71,500 grants, totaling close to $91 million in assistance to over 11,500 soldiers and their families.

“I did succeed in awareness I think,” Placke said. “I got more than 1,000 page views on my Facebook page, at the half marathon tent I had a ton of people come in and I talked on the speaker and I told a lot of people about the plight of these wounded veterans. There were around 600 participants and if just half of them go to the Semper Fi Fund and check that out, that is 300 people looking at the page. Maybe 100 or so of them will choose to help.” For more information on the project and how to contribute, visit www.facebook.com/ Scoutsforwoundedvets.

most of the businesses are one-person service businesses. “We still have an enormous service industry here, and when I say service, I’m talking about accountants and chiropractors and all those people who focus on more personal services and needs. A lot of home-based businesses. Home-based meaning that we can have an engineer working from home who is still part of a large company. We see a lot of that happening, especially in the IT area.” Tech businesses like Smarter Chaos, an Internet marketing and sales agency focused on brands such as the BeachMint Brands, Dollar Shave Club, StraighterLine, Ellie Fashion Group and MeUndies, have been vital in diversifying the Castle Rock Ridler business landscape as the town has expanded. “These are three guys who lived

in the same neighborhood in the Woodlands, and they were all IT guys, and kind of decided that ‘Hey, we should all come together and build something,’” Ridler said. “Now they’ve outgrown their space in downtown Castle Rock and now they’re moving to this new bigger space, which is a big deal for (the town).” There are four different local IT companies that are coming together to share one location without necessarily being in the same industry. The new 50,000-square-foot, four-story tech building and accompanying parking structure is being planned for the vacant halfacre site at the southeast corner of Sixth and Jerry streets some time in 2015.The building will house Digital Globe Services, IMI Global, Smarter Chaos and Mywedding.com. “They’re busting. They’re growing and they need to grow and if this wouldn’t happen they would most likely go into the Tech Center,” Ridler said. “So retention of those highpaying jobs is extremely important.”

Ridler credits the town’s leadership during the past decade plus for creating a fertile business environment and taking a long-term approach to growth. However, she said that while small-town charm may have helped bring people to the area, Castle Rock should embrace its future as a metropolitan area that has preserved its past. “Castle Rock keeps talking about being small town,” said Ridler, who is from the northwestern Kansas city of Hays. “We’re not small-town anymore. Fifty thousand is not small-town. I come from small-town. I know what small-town is. “It’s `hometown.’ It makes us feel like it was when we grew up. And some people grew up in large cities, but I believe that a portion of the people in Castle Rock have come to Castle Rock because they want to be able to have the amenities of the city in either direction, but they want `hometown.’ And I think that is why Castle Rock has grown like it has.”

Governor lowers odds on fracking special session Potential bill on hydraulic fracturing seeks compromise over issues of local control By Vic Vela vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com More doubt was cast recently on the possibility of a special legislative session on hydraulic fracturing, as Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 27 lowered expectations that lawmakers will meet over the summer to tackle this contentious issue. Hickenlooper said in May that the odds were “50/50” that a special session will be held. However, on June 27, Hickenlooper told reporters that he thinks those odds are now “less than 50/50.” “We’re still working on it as hard as we can,” the Democratic governor said. “I think we’ve got a product that’s pretty good, but there seems to be a political barrier there that we haven’t been able to get past.” The “product” Hickenlooper was referring to is a revised draft of legislation that would serve as the centerpiece for a special session. The potential bill aims to strike a compromise on the issue of how much control communities have in dealing with fracking — the blasting of water, sand and chemicals into the surface to free up blocked oil and gas.

As the November election nears, the move toward a legislative solution is growing urgent for interested parties. There are several fracking-related ballot initiatives that could end up making it on to the ballot this fall. So far, a handful of Colorado communities have taken action on fracking issues by placing drilling bans or moratoriums in their towns. And, on June 24, Loveland voters narrowly rejected a ballot question that sought to place a two-year moratorium on fracking within city limits. The draft bill grants communities the ability to dictate some aspects of oil and gas operations and it has received the support of seven oil and gas companies. “The legislative solution that you have put forward will ensure communities continue to have a voice in the regulation of oil and natural gas development, while protecting property rights, and supporting responsible energy development,” states a June 26 letter that was written to Hickenlooper on behalf of the seven companies. “Your proposal will also help avoid ballot measures that, if adopted, would become constitutional provisions that leave no room for negotiation or compromise, regardless of the circumstances. We believe the legislature is the right place to work through these issues.” Hickenlooper - a pro-fracking geologist - would rather see all parties reach a compromise on local control issues at

the legislative level, instead of having voters decide on what could be a large number of ballot proposals in the fall, ones that would be spearheaded by antifracking advocates and financed in large part by Democratic Congressman Jared Polis. “If you look at the potential consequences to having a $50 to 75 million ballot initiative campaign fight between both sides ... that’s not necessarily a good thing,” the governor said. “It creates a divisive and bitter battle and no matter the resolution, the other side is going to come right back and be all over it next year. “Things like this are much better solved in legislative solutions because you can come back and amend them easier the next year; whereas ... most stuff in the state Constitution, we don’t take out.” But reaching that compromise is a whole other matter. On one hand there are significant economic interests associated with fracking. On the other, there are serious environmental concerns. That can be a tough balance to find in a place like Colorado, where the two sides of the argument have powerful backers. Some anti-fracking advocates are voicing their displeasure with the draft legislation. “I’ve read the proposal and I am adamantly against it,” said Laura Fronckiewicz of Our Broomfield, an anti-fracking group. “What I saw is a huge step back-

Two speakers in accord against Common Core Republican breakfast highlights concerns around changes in education By Jane Reuter

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Two opponents of the Common Core standards spoke during the June 27 meeting of the Highlands Club, a group of Highlands Ranch Republicans that meet monthly for breakfast. Pueblo resident Anita Stapleton and Douglas County School Board member Craig Richardson shared their mutual distaste for the standards, but clashed on issues specific to DCSD. The Common Core Standards are a set of U.S. educational criteria introduced in 2010 with the intent of improving the quality of American K-12 education. Colorado and most other states adopted the national curriculum, but individual districts in Colorado are allowed to set their own. DCSD is among those that did so, and school leaders say its guaranteed and viable curriculum surpasses the Common Core. Stapleton, who ran unsuccessfully for the Pueblo City Board of Education last November, believes the standards intrude on state’s rights, calling them a “federal over-reach into our classrooms.” She said the standards are “very progressive and very liberal,” criticizing them for a “tolerance of Islam,” and curriculum she feels is lacking. “The in-depth, how-to-do-it, will not be taught,” she said. “The physics are being gutted. In Common Core, we bring down the ceiling instead of raising up the bottom so the students in the middle and down low can be raised up.” Stapleton believes unseating Gov. John Hickenlooper is the key to repealing Colorado’s Common Core Standards. She urged Highlands Club members to support Republican candidate Bob Beauprez for governor. In July 2013, the Douglas County school board adopted a resolution formally opposing the Common Core Standards. Stapleton praised the board for that, but urged local residents to ensure the board stays true to its intent. “Keep their feet to the fire on the resolution,” she said. Stapleton accused DCSD of accepting

the Common Core curriculum, which board member Richardson denied. “We refer to it as the common floor,” he said. “It’s a pathetic admission of national failure. “We have so much more in mind in terms of expectations for our kids in this district. Our children are intended and will lead the world. We have extraordinary expectations for them because so much has been given to them.” DCSD used the Common Core and Colorado Academic Standards as the foundation for its curriculum, according to previous DCSD presentations, adding other educational objectives to create what it calls The Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum. Richardson said DCSD consulted with some of America’s top companies about what they’d like to see in K-12 education, and its curriculum is designed to reflect their demand for creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and high communication skills. “Our district has substituted in its own expectations about 21st-century learning that actually responds to the needs of American businesses,” he said. DCSD’s pay-for-performance program and market-based pay scale, while difficult to implement, are steps in the right direction, he said. “We have got to start paying great teachers great salaries that reflect their excellence, and lousy teachers — we’ve got to get out of the system,” Richardson said. “Measuring performance is hard. But you have to do it.” Stapleton maintained some Douglas County schools are using the Common Core curriculum. She also cited concerns about district transparency, saying teachers are leaving DCSD schools in high numbers, parents are moving their children to other districts, and accused the school board of attempting to silence community members. Richardson denied the accusations. “The concept that people are being silenced and not able to talk to the board is just false,” he said. Addressing Stapleton directly, Richardson said, “We have a lot we agree on about the mess of Common Core. I think there are some factual issues we need to get together and talk about.” In March, the board changed its policy to sharply reduce the amount of time allotted for general comments, adding time for comment on agenda-specific items.

wards. This is a total giveaway to the oil and gas industry.” Meanwhile, those on the other side of the divide are gearing up for what they believe is an imminent fight over drilling this fall. “All signs point to a big, expensive drawn out election,” said Jon Haubert of Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development, a pro-fracking group. “We don’t have to wait for a special session. We can see the writing on the wall.” Another key question is whether Republican lawmakers will support any compromise that limits oil and gas operations. And there’s no guarantee that a bill would earn enough support from conservative Democrats in the state Senate, where the party holds a one seat majority. Although he has lowered the odds of a special session occurring, Hickenlooper is still holding out hope for a resolution. “If these guys think it’s okay (oil and gas companies) to give some local control to the community, maybe there should be a bipartisan solution there,” the governor said. At the same time, the governor knows that time is running out on reaching that compromise. “That ticking clock is loud in my head, that we are rapidly running out of time,” he said.

Judge upholds state’s gun laws Constitutionality, not wisdom, of statutes weighed by court By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A federal judge on June 26 rejected a court challenge to gun restrictions that took effect last year, ruling that the new statutes do not infringe on a person’s Second Amendment right to bear firearms, as was alleged by the plaintiffs in the case. The lawsuit was filed by several county sheriffs in Colorado, along with other citizens and businesses. The judge’s decision means that the controversial 2013 laws that created universal background checks on gun sales and transfers and banned high-capacity ammunition magazines will remain on the books. The ruling was a victory for gun-control advocates who believe that the laws help to prevent the kind of mass bloodshed that occurred during the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, which prompted the legislation. “Today is an important day in the fight to keep our communities and families safe from gun violence,” Rita Schweitz of the Colorado Coalition Against Gun Violence said through an emailed statement. But plaintiffs told reporters following the court ruling that they plan to appeal the judge’s decision. “We believe (the judge) got it wrong as a matter of law,” said attorney Dave Kopel. “We think we have a very strong case in the Court of Appeals.” The state of Colorado and Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper — who signed the bills into law — were named as defendants

in the lawsuit. Chief U.S. District Court Judge Marcia S. Krieger ruled that the law that bans ammunition magazines that carry more than 15 rounds “is not severe” in how it impacts a person’s ability to keep or bear firearms for self-defense purposes. “... this statute does not prevent the people of Colorado from possessing semiautomatic weapons for self-defense, or from using those weapons as they are designed to function,” Krieger wrote in a 50-page opinion. “The only limitation imposed is how frequently they must reload their weapons.” Supporters of the magazine ban law argue that the statute limits the would-be shooters’ abilities to get their hands on high-capacity magazines. They also argue that limiting the amount of rounds a person can fire allows time for victims to fight back or for law enforcement to intervene while the shooter reloads. The plaintiffs argued that skilled shooters know how to reload quickly anyway, which mitigates the benefit of a “critical pause” during magazine reloading. However, Krieger rejected that argument, saying that, “a pause, of any duration, imposed on the offensive shooter can only be beneficial ...” Krieger also took issue with a plaintiffs’ argument that those who are intent on committing violence will simply ignore the law and obtain the magazines anyway. “Hypothetically, this may be true, but the Court declines to speculate about the subjective intentions and means of unspecified criminals involved in unspecified gun violence,” Krieger wrote. As for the law that requires background checks on all gun sales and transfers, the

plaintiffs argued that the Second Amendment protects the borrowing of guns for lawful purposes. But Krieger disagreed with the plaintiffs’ interpretation of the Second Amendment. “As repeatedly noted, the Second Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to keep and bear arms for the core purpose of defense of self and home,” she wrote. “However, it is not at all clear that the Second Amendment prevents the government from restricting the ability of

As is the case with all court challenges to state laws, the case was defended by the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, which is headed by Republican Attorney General John Suthers. “Like Judge Krieger, the Colorado Attorney General’s Office has never asserted that the laws in question are good, wise or sound policy,” Suthers said through a statement. “As it does in all cases, the AG’s Office has fulfilled its responsibility to defend the constitutionality of the Colorado law in

persons to acquire firearms via temporary loans from others.” The gun bills were the most controversial of all legislation that was passed by the Democratic-majority Legislature last year. Testimony and debate on the bills often dragged on for several hours and led to Capitol protests from pro-gun advocates as well as shows of support from gun-safety and victims’-rights groups. The bills — which passed with no Republican support — had political ramifications for Democrats. The legislation cost Democrats three seats in the state Senate through officeholders’ defeats in recall elections and the resignation of another in the face of a recall threat. In her decision, Krieger acknowledged the polarizing debate over gun issues, but said that the court’s role has nothing to do with whether a law is popular. It only concerns itself with the constitutionality of the law. “Put another way,” Krieger wrote, “in determining whether a law is constitutional, this decision does not determine whether either law is `good,’ only whether it is constitutionally permissible.”

question. “The Attorney General’s Office fully expects the case to be appealed and looks forward to final resolution of the issues as soon as possible.” But plaintiffs insist that the laws — especially the magazine limit ban — are unenforceable and that Krieger’s decision doesn’t change that belief. “I came out right away and said that these laws are unenforceable, so therefore I won’t enforce them,” said Weld County Sheriff John Cooke. Meanwhile, the court ruling was hailed as a victory for those who have lost loved ones during episodes of gun violence. Dave Hoover, a Lakewood police officer whose nephew, AJ Boik, was killed during the Aurora theater shooting, said the high-capacity magazine ban “can reduce the number of victims killed in mass shootings.” “And as someone who has worked in law enforcement here in Colorado for over 30 years, I can tell you that limiting highcapacity magazines is a significant step in protecting our law enforcement officers in the field.”

Backers call off bid to tighten conceal carry laws on campuses Measure could have become ‘political football’ in November By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com An effort to ban the carrying of concealed handguns on college campuses ended June 26 out of supporters’ concerns that the issue could be used as a “political football” to impact the November election. For months, backers of the campus gun ban had been collecting signatures in hopes of putting the issue to voters on this fall’s ballot. But supporters saw a political reality that caused them to pull the plug on their effort. “In the last few weeks it became very evident that last year’s gun violence prevention legislation was going to be a major campaign issue in many candidate campaigns,” Boulder resident Ken Toltz, the founder of Safe Campus Colorado, said in an email to Colorado Community Media. Toltz was referring to legislation that became law in 2013, including bans on high-capacity ammunition magazines and the creation of universal background checks on all gun sales and transfers. The bills stirred passionate reaction from both gun enthusiasts and gun-control advocates. The legislation passed the Democratic-majority legislature without Republican support. Another bill that would have banned concealed weapons from being carried on college campuses was killed by a Sen-

ate sponsor prior to it receiving a vote in that chamber. It is already illegal to carry concealed guns on K-12 campuses. Toltz said the decision to stop the signature-gathering effort was not related to any lack of public support for the campus gun ban. “The signature-gathering was very successful on a statewide basis, as the average voter agreed that concealed guns on college campuses is a bad idea,” he said. Last year’s gun legislation led to recall elections that ended up costing Democrats three seats in the state Senate — two Democrats lost in those recalls, while another resigned in the face of a recall. Toltz did not directly respond when asked if he received any pressure from Democrats or other interested parties to stop the effort. But he did acknowledge the politics of gun control. “Being nonpartisan, we decided that our issue was too important to let it become a political football,” he said. Dudley Brown, who heads Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, said petition backers were wise to halt the signaturegathering because another gun restriction effort would have “kicked the hornets’ nest.” “I think they got phone calls from Democrats saying, `This is not a good thing for our candidates for office because this will motivate gun owners in droves,’” Brown said. “Democratic operatives know that this is a dangerous thing for them to do, to tinker with this.”

All dressed up at the Ren Fest Annual Larkspur summer festival draws large crowds each and every weekend By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Princes and paupers came from across the state over the weekend to enjoy the atmosphere at the Colorado Renaissance Festival & Artisan Marketplace in Larkspur. The festival, now in its 38th year, boasts 10 stages, performing 60 shows daily. Everything from magic to jousting can be found at the festival, including a welldressed public. “It’s awesome for people to get together and dress up. Everyone is in kilts and dressed up with their hair braided with flowers and you can have a couple margaritas and just hang out,” said Renee Teter, of Denver. More than 200 period artisans sell and demonstrate their crafts in the marketplace. The marketplace is cash only. However, there are four ATM locations in the

kingdom. The festival, which runs Saturdays and Sunday until Aug. 3, is open each weekend from 10 a.am. to 6:30 p.m. and offers free on-site parking. “I’ve come almost every year since I was in fourth grade, so probably like 15 or 16 years now. The event hasn’t changed much, there are just more people now,” Eric Fresces said. Food and drink are available at the marketplace as well and giant turkey legs and cold ale are in great supply. Admission is $19.95 for adults, $9 for children ages 5-12 and free for children under the age of 5. Festivalgoers are welcome to come dressed in costume and costumes are available for rent. Costumes, swords and daggers are permitted as long as they are properly sheathed. July 5 and 6 is children’s weekend at the festival. Activities include a costume contest at the Puke & Snot Stage, a Royal Quest followed by the Knighting Ceremony by Good King Henry and Faire Queen Anne. During children’s weekend only, kids 12 and under experience the festival for free with a paying adult. “They should have it open all week, not just on the weekends,” Teter said. “We’ll come back every year.”

Ladies-only bike event combats violence Annual Tour de Ladies set for July 12 By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com A ladies-only cycling event in Douglas County will support victims of domestic violence in the community. Tour de Ladies isn’t your average ride. It was devised as a stress-free way to empower and educate women in the metro area while raising money and exploring beautiful terrain. Becki Rupp, chairwoman of the Tour de Ladies publicity team, said “it’s definitely not a race” and is meant to be more about camaraderie. “It can be a little bit intimidating for women to participate in bigger group rides, especially if they haven’t ridden in groups in the past,” Rupp said. “We wanted to have an event where women feel comfortable coming out and doing this for the first time.” More than 400 ladies are expected to sign up to ride July 12 on one of two mildly challenging routes; the shortest is 30 miles long and the other is 62.5 miles, a 100-kilometer route known as a “metric century.”

Men will be used in a limited capacity. The volunteer “SAG in Drag” team is made up of men who dress in women’s clothing and provide “support and gear” to those who need it. Feedback from last year’s Tour de Ladies was “overwhelmingly positive” and there are several returning riders in 2014, Rupp said. “At the finish line last year, there was this sense of accomplishment that so many of those women had,” she said. That includes Jennifer Walker, executive director of the Douglas County-based Crisis Center, formerly known as the Women’s Crisis and Family Outreach Center. Walker admits she was nervous heading into her first such bike ride, but “didn’t really have any trouble at all” navigating the 30-mile course at a leisurely pace. This year, she is on the Crisis Center’s four-member team, which will be dressed in purple, a color that symbolizes the fight against domestic violence. The center will receive all of the proceeds from the ride. Last year, more than $5,000 was raised for general operations at the Crisis Center. Rupp said some participants registered specifically to help the cause, which was good news to Walker, who has spent years trying to

Director of senior center leaving Shipley taking new job in Castle Rock area Staff report Terry Shipley, who has served as executive director of the Castle Rock Senior Center the last four years, has announced she will be leaving the center for another job opportunity in the Castle Rock area. Shipley, whose resignation is effective mid-August, will be sorely missed by everyone at the senior center, board president Rich Smoski said. “Under Terry’s direction, the senior center has experienced much growth and many positive changes,” Smoski said. “Terry has consistently raised the level of the center’s services to its members and to the community to new heights, and we hope to maintain that positive movement going forward.”

In addition to managing the staff and activities at the senior center, Shipley has played a key role in fundraising, which is a vital part of the non-profit facility budget, and also developed the center’s current theme, “Loving Life in the 2nd Half.” She was on the center’s staff for two years prior to becoming executive director in 2010. “It has been a tremendous honor to serve as the executive director of the senior senter and work with such great leadership in our community, the center staff and board of directors, all of whom are dedicated to the success of this organization,” Shipley said. “I love this organization and the members and clients who partake of our programs and services, and I wish them all great success in the years to come.” Shipley has not announced where she will be working after she leaves. Smoski said the board has started its search for a new executive director, and potential applicants can contact him at RichSmoski@AOL.com.

spread awareness about domestic violence. “It’s a complex issue that’s hard for the average person out there to understand,” Walker said. “The more we can get people to engage to stop this kind of stuff from happening in the home, the better off we are.” Registration is $49 for the 30-mile route and $79 for the 62.5-mile “metric century” route.

Council OKs charity effort, within limits ‘Fill the Boot’ won’t be considered panhandling Staff report For many, Labor Day celebrations include a little time off, fun with family and friends, or simply an opportunity to get away from daily life. For many firefighters, it is a weekend to do even more good for their community by collecting donations for the Muscular Dystrophy Association through the nationwide Fill the Boot event. Castle Rock Fire and Rescue has been participating in this effort for more than 20 years. While in many communities, motorists see Fill the Boot volunteers in the streets, Castle Rock has had a ban on all panhandling since 2007, including this event. But now, there are some exceptions.

The Castle Rock Town Council voted unanimously to exempt law-enforcement personnel and firefighters, along with other nonprofit or charitable fundraising efforts, from the ban on panhandling, clearing the way for CRFD’s Fill the Boot effort. Each group is now allowed to collect in the right-ofway for five days in a calendar year. Even though the ordinance that bans panhandling is a local one, state law had previously mandated panhandling laws be all-or-nothing. The Colorado General Assembly recently allowed municipal governments to make some exceptions. “We are thankful to our community for being so supportive of this effort, no matter where we are collecting donations,” Fire Chief Art Morales said. “This exemption gives our community an even better opportunity to help those affected by muscular dystrophy.”

South Metro Chamber names new president Realtor Robert Golden takes the helm By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The board of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce has hired Robert E. Golden as its new president and chief executive officer, effective immediately. Marcia McGilley had been the acting president after longtime CEO John Brackney left the chamber in late March. “Bob has a proven track record of collaboration and stellar achievement,” Herm Brocksmith, board of directors chairman, said in a June 25 news release. “We expect the South Metro Denver Chamber to thrive, grow and achieve its potential under his leadership. With Bob’s tremendous work ethic, influential contacts and business savvy, we are poised for great success.” Golden most recently had been president of Golden Solution LLC, an association consulting firm based in Highlands Ranch, since December 2012. Before that, he was the CEO of the Colorado Association of Realtors for eight years. Golden earned his bachelor’s degree in business from Florida Atlantic University in 1982. He and his wife, Kathy, have four grown children. He said he is honored to have been chosen for the job. “I look forward to leading the chamber under the four pillars of economic development, public policy, education and infrastructure which are vital to the prosperity of our business community,” he said. The hiring of Golden comes on the heels of several staff departures at the chamber. After more than a decade there, Brackney unexpectedly announced his resignation on March 24. He announced he’d accepted a job at Greenwood Village marketing firm Webolutions on April 11. About three weeks after Brackney’s departure, Jeff Holwell, chief operating officer and economic development director, announced he was leaving to become the City of Lone Tree’s economic development director.

In May, the director of public policy, Patrick Pratt, left to become the program manager for the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry’s Colorado Manufacturing Initiative. He had been with the cham-

ber since 2010. Terry McElhaney, manager of communications, also left in May. He started his own graphics company, Great Graphix, and continues to co-own Romancing the Bean, the coffee shop at the Littleton Light Rail Station.

Pedestrian bridge work underway at Quebec C-470 overpass project to extend into fall Staff report Construction on a new pedestrian crossing on the west side of Quebec Street over C-470 has begun and will continue through Nov. 24. The bridge will mirror one constructed a few years ago on the east side, allowing safe passage for walkers and cyclists on both sides of the busy overpass.

“Now people won’t have to cross over to the east side if they want to cross 470,” project engineer Dennis Lobberding said. The $1.6 million Douglas County Government project is partially funded by a $500,000 grant from the Denver Regional Council of Governments. Lawrence Construction was awarded the contract for the six-month project. Intermittent lane closures will occur throughout construction on Quebec as well as the westbound on-ramp and eastbound off-ramp.

The bridge near the borders of Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch and Centennial will benefit drivers as well as cyclists and pedestrians by easing demand for the “walk” crossing button. Future plans also call for creating a new crossing for the C-470 bicycle trail underneath Quebec, but that project has been delayed while the C-470 Corridor Coalition studies future expansion plans for the highway. The east side Quebec Street/C-470 bridge was constructed in 2008.

Fireworks follow rodeo, street fair and car show By Rick Gustafson

Special to Colorado Community Media The Cowboy Up in Kiowa Rodeo wrapped up two days of competition at the Elbert County Fairgrounds on June 28, signing off with a fireworks display and the Hometown Heroes Dance. The Colorado Professional Rodeo Association sanctioned event was just one of three activities attracting visitors to Kiowa over the weekend. Just down the hill from the bull riding, steer wrestling and team roping, classic cars lined Navajo street and vendors filled Nordman Park to show off their wares at the Sixth Annual Kiowa Street Fair and Car Show. The street fair and car show opened with the presentation of the colors by the Elizabeth VFW Color Guard on Saturday morning, and inside the park, vendors offered goods ranging from jewelry to hand-made scarfs and home-canned pickles. Michelle Oeser, Kiowa town administrator and coordinator of this year’s Kiowa Street Fair, said the event attracted 65 venders, and she was pleased with the turnout. In addition to shopping, the street fair included a live performance by local entertainers Billie Owens and Sue Link. There was a magic and puppet show for kids as well as tents with games and tests of skill where local groups, such as the Lions Club, rewarded contestant’s efforts with candy and toys. Animals were also a big attraction at this year’s street fair. In addition to a petting zoo and a mule-

HawkQuest’s visit was sponsored by local businesses and allowed visitors to have an up-close experience with a great horned owl, a peregrine falcon and red tail hawk as well as have a picture taken with the star of HawkQuest’s visit, a bald eagle named Magissiwa. Magissiwa was rescued 15 years ago in Washington state after surviving a fall from her nest as a 6-week-old eaglet. Her mother had abandoned the nest after her mate was shot. HawkQuest exhibits Magissiwa as part

of the organization’s efforts to educate the public about birds of prey. The Kiowa Street Fair is inspired by a similar event, which is believed to have taken place in 1910 on Comanche Street. In 2009, the Town of Kiowa revived the fair and this year, combined it with the Kiowa Car Show. The car show returned following a twoyear break and featured more than 20 classic cars ranging from hotrods to American heavy metal. One entry, a 1974 Plymouth Valliant Skamp, named Tommy Knocker, was rigged with spikes, wrapped in chains and topped off with a vampire baby head making it possibly the ideal escape vehicle if ever there were a zombie apocalypse. After the sun set on a day filled with activities, damp conditions allowed for the first fireworks display in Kiowa since 2010, and the Cactus Jack Band closed out the weekend, returning to the stage for a second night for the Home Town Heroes Dance.

Coloradans are familiar with the impressive sports career of Jeremy Bloom, the three-time world champion skier, two-time Olympian, 11-time World Cup gold medalist and member of the United States Skiing Hall of Fame. And when he wasn’t tearing up the slopes, Bloom was burning up the gridiron as a CU Buff and briefly as an NFL player. But despite all of Jeremy’s sports accolades, his sister, Molly, was leading a quieter yet more colorful life as the owner/organizer of a high-stakes poker game for the rich and famous, including actors Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and billionaire Guy Laliberté, CEO of Cirque du Soleil. “Molly ran her exclusive, top-secret, bicoastal poker ring for several years, keeping the details secret from even her closest friends and family — but now she’s finally showing her hand in her memoir, `Molly’s Game,’” which was released June 24, according to a story in The New York Post. Molly Bloom grew up in Loveland, with her dad, a Colorado State University professor, mom and two brothers. “Months later, Bloom was heading to one of her games when a player texted her that the feds had crashed it looking for her,” the Post story says. “Bloom fled to Colorado, where she refused to talk to investigators, which resulted in her assets being frozen. “The former high-roller lived a quiet life in Colorado until two years later, in 2013, when she moved back to LA and shortly after got a knock on her door from the FBI. “She was charged, along with 30 others, with participating in two Russian-American organized-crime enterprises engaged in gambling and money laundering. (She says she had no idea about her players’ illicit dealings.)” Molly, who was dubbed “the Poker Princess” by news outlets during the trial, avoided prison and was sentenced to one year of probation earlier this year. “If I had to do it all over, would I choose the same path?” she writes. “My answer is yes, a thousand times yes. I had a grand adventure.” To read more of the story in The New York Post, go to nypost.com/2014/06/22/ inside-the-poker-princess-a-list-house-ofcards.

Nothing boring in this ‘Paper Work’ Artist’s mixed media on display in Denver By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “My mixed media installations and drawings recontextualize simplified shapes, signs and symbols from disparate historical and contemporary imagery to create abstract fictions,” says artist Liz Miller. “Recent projects pit Baroque and Gothic pattern and ornament against forms derived from weapons and weaponry …” Miller spoke about her career in art that brought her to create “Splendiferous Jungle Warfare,” the intricate installation that rose behind her June 19 at the Center for Visual Art in Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District, after she spent the week assembling it onsite as part of a new exhibit, “Paper Work.” Miller, who describes herself as “professor and working artist,” teaches art at Minnesota State University, Mankato, full time and travels throughout the country installing her large, intricately designed sculptural works, executed in mixed media. She does the preliminary cutting, shaping and spray-painting in her studio and ships the elements to be assembled. She showed slides of early work, such as paintings and collages from graduate school: “I did hundreds of them, 8½ by 11, looking for pattern. The palette was not necessarily traditional.

Catch Alysha White in CMT’s series “Broken Skull” on July 19. Photos by Jennifer Smith

Local trainer battles it out on national TV Alysha White in episode of Steve Austin’s ‘Broken Skull’ By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Most people would run away fast and far if they heard former pro wrestler “Stone Cold” Steve Austin stand up and shout, “I love the smell of combat in the morning!” Not so Alysha White. “Steve Austin is the man,” said the 26-year-old personal trainer. “I’ve had the biggest dorky crush on him since I was a kid. He’s so down to earth, so humble.” White offered herself up to be brutalized on Austin’s new show on Country Music Television, “Broken Skull.” The starring role is played by Austin’s personal obstacle course, which features barbed wire, 60-pound logs, mud, ice water, 40-degree hills and every other thing Austin could fit in to break down the contestants’ body and will. At the end, they climb 17 feet up a raw rope to ring a little bell. Every week, eight people battle each other for the “honor” of attempting the course for a shot at $10,000. “It’s all brutal,” says Austin on the show’s website. “It’s hand-to-hand combat.” But White arrived well prepared for battle, having been fighting one with bulimia most of her life. “I basically destroyed my body, and I’m going to spend the rest of my life trying to fix it,” she said on June 27 during an interview at one of the gyms she

trains at, Blunt Force in Denver. Another is Total Fitness and Nutrition in Highlands Ranch. White began modeling as a young girl growing up on her family’s beef farm in Kansas. But beef farms aren’t the best place for the extremely body conscious, and she struggled to keep her weight down. Bulimia was an early method. “It was a really dark place for a really long time,” she said. “It’s helped me to be so blunt and honest about it.” But then she found boxing, a natural for a young lady with five older brothers, she said. “Boxing saved me,” she said. “It was the only thing that was more important to me than my addiction. … You will never make that transformation into better until you want it for yourself.” She still models today, along with pursuing body building and her personaltraining enterprise. “I warn girls to know who you are and what you stand for before you into modeling, and have some thick skin,” she said. She recently started JustaFitChick. com, where she offers health and exercise tips, a cleverly written blog and products like supplements and, soon, her own line of fitness wear. “I want to inspire people,” she said. “I want to create a community. Not everyone can break fitness down and make it fit into your life, and that’s what I do.” Outgoing and confident, White said the hardest part of doing the show for her was not being able to talk to the other contestants before filming, forbidden so they wouldn’t form alliances. But after they got done basically trying to kill each other on the set, they became the best of

Writer makes Highlands Ranch one of four stops By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Hugely successful young author Veronica Roth, whose “Divergent” trilogy has sold more than 22 million copies and inspired a new popular film by the same name, will appear to meet fans at the Tattered Cover/ Highlands Ranch at 7 p.m. July 15. Appearing with her at the book signing will be Margaret Stohl, co-author of the “Beautiful Creatures” series, which led to a 2013 film with that title. Both authors fit into a major pop culture movement that has readers of all ages collecting and enjoying titles in the young adult category — a trend that took off with J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series and continues unabated, despite publication of some critical articles. Roth’s latest book is “Four: a Divergent Collection,” four short stories told from the perspective of Tobias “Four” Eaton, a major character in the previous books. “Divergent,” her first title, was written during the winter break of Roth’s final year as a creative writing major at Northwestern University, where she also earned an MFA. Set in her home territory of Chicago, the books take a reader into a dystopian world, where Factions rule: Abnegation, Amnesty, Candor, Dauntless and Erudite. Sixteen-

year-old Tris and others must choose and join a Faction, or become a Divergent, those with an aptitude for more than one — an uncomfortable path. Others in the trilogy, “Insurgent” and “Allegiant,” followed. Roth is on a four-city national tour, which includes Highlands Ranch. At each stop, her publisher, Harper-Collins, will pair her with another popular young-adult author. In this case, it’s Stohl, whose new title is “Idols,” second in her new series that debuted with “Icons.” When readers buy a copy of both new books, it will trigger the gift of a book through the national organization One Book to a child in need, according to Tattered Cover’s Michael Cruikshank, special events manager. This program will follow Roth to other cities she visits: Boston, Atlanta and Lansing, Mich. Roth is said to have been a voracious reader as a teen and is committed to encouraging young people to read. In addition to her four-city tour, Roth will be attending the enormously popular San Diego Comic Con International, which attracts fans of science fiction by the thousands.

if you go Veronica Roth and Margaret Stohl will appear at Tattered Cover/Highlands Ranch, 9315 Dorchester St., Highlands Ranch, at 7 p.m. July 15.

Soap Box Derby racers turn up the heat Youths compete for trophies at Arapahoe County Fairgrounds By Anna Sheffer

Special to Colorado Community Media Summer means the end of school, but for Soap Box Derby drivers, it has an additional meaning: racing season. The eighth annual Sertoma Mile High Soap Box Derby took place at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds on June 22, with drivers ages 7-18 competing to bring home first place and attend the World Championship finals in July at Derby Downs in Akron,

Ohio. The Mile High Soap Box Derby had a rocky start until Sertoma began sponsoring the event eight years ago. Sertoma, which helps people with speech and hearing disabilities, partnered with the derby, and both organizations have had better exposure as a result. This is the second year that the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds hosted the derby. Previously, it was held in Littleton. Diane Oppenheim, one of the volunteers from Sertoma, said the fairgrounds benefited the event. “That was our longtime goal,” she said, “to get a permanent place to block off the street.”

The competition consists of two weight classes — stock cars, which weigh 200 pounds, and super stock cars, which weigh 230 pounds. Drivers race in heats consisting of two one-one-one races. Racers swap two wheels with their competitors before phase one of each heat and then swap all four wheels before phase two of each heat in order to discourage unfair tampering with the cars’ wheels. And though factors like the weight of the car impact the outcome of a race, drivers still race strategically. “It’s really about the drivers and not about the cars,” said Buzz Pankoff, Soap Box Derby director. In order to increase speed, each racer hunches as close to the wheel as possible while still looking over the hood of the car. The difference in times between two competitors can come down to fractions of a second, so racers make themselves as aero-

dynamic as possible — even tucking their hair into the backs of their shirts. And the racers are as varied as they come. They include veterans, first-timers and one unique car, Caidn Matthews, who races using a handbrake. Every racer worked hard, but at the end of the day, only one driver per weight class could win. First-year racer Camden Martin, 10, won the super stock division. “[Winning] feels great ‘cause it’s my first year ever,” Martin said. In the stock car division, siblinga AJ Sipres, 8, and Chaelyn Sipres, 11, went head-to-head for first place. Chaelyn took home first and AJ second. “It felt fun because he always thinks he’s the winner and I showed him better today,” Chaelyn said with a grin.

Corner House closes The Corner House, the Jefferson Park eatery founded by Seattle Fish Co. “schoolmaster” James Iacino and celebrated chef Matt Selby (Vesta Dipping Grill, Steuben’s, Ace), closed June 21, according to a story in Westword. Within less than a year of opening, Selby split from the neighborhood eatery for unclear reasons. Selby is now the top toque at Central Bistro in LoHi. Restaurant consultant and marketing maven Leigh Sullivan, who handles the restaurant’s public relations, became a part-owner, but according to Westword, the investment was too little too late. The space has been taken over by an unnamed “up-and-coming” chef, who will reopen with a new concept.

Ted’s salutes the bison Ted’s Montana Grill restaurants are joining their fans to pay tribute to the ingredients, meals and hospitality that define the Great American West. The restaurants are celebrating a Great American Summer with

an online photo contest, signature burgers and a campaign to elect bison as the national mammal at votebison.org. “Bison are a true American icon that once thundered across our Great Plains,” said George W. McKerrow, who, along with media mogul Ted Turner, co-founded Ted’s Montana Grill and pioneered the effort to preserve our country’s bison herds. “This summer, we are celebrating authentic American dining by shining a spotlight on all the ways local mavericks enjoy our beef and bison burgers.” Now through July 14, entries and nominations for the “Bite Your Bison” photo contest may be submitted on the Ted’s Montana Grill Facebook page, or via Instagram photos and tweets with the hashtag #BiteYourBison. Photo entries also will be accepted at bigskyspirit@tedsmontanagrill.com. Three fans with the most votes will enter the finals, where a restaurant voting panel will choose the grand prize winner of a Big Green Egg barbecue.

Schweiger Ranch work continues New grant enables foundation to rebuild corrals, add signage and other upgrades By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Schweiger Ranch will move another step back in time toward its historic working ranch appearance with the help of a nearly $200,000 state grant. The work that begins this month will repair and finish corrals around the barn, stable and a shed, renovate a chicken coop, add electricity and interpretive signage. Construction is set for completion in September, in time for October’s annual Schweiger Ranch Fall Festival. “This last grant we’re getting form the state will, for the most part, complete the infrastructure piece,” Schweiger Ranch Foundation president Darryl Jones said. “Now, it’s about bringing it to life.” Though those plans aren’t yet finalized, the foundation’s vision for the future includes a petting zoo, living bee exhibit, chickens, demonstrations of ranch activities and a community garden. “Eventually, we’d like to get to that kind of place, where it’s more of a living history museum as opposed to something that’s more static and not active,” Jones said. He pointed to Lowell Ranch, which is

south of Castle Rock, the Littleton Museum and Denver’s Four Mile Historic Park as places he hopes Schweiger Ranch someday will resemble. “Lowell Ranch is a great example,” Jones said. “They have a ranch with community gardens, animal exhibits, and they offer regular activities out there. That’s a model we’re following.” To make that happen, however, the foundation needs more money. Jones pitched that idea to the Lone Tree City Council during its June 17 meeting. Donations raised through a capital campaign would help pay for the bee exhibit, expansion of the apple orchard and picnic benches, among other items. City leaders said they’ll consider a contribution as part of the upcoming budget. Originally known as the Happy Canyon Ranch, Austrian emigrants John, Joseph, and Jacob Schweiger established the acreage in 1874. They were among the earliest settlers in the area. John later married Anna, the daughter of a neighboring rancher, and the two raised seven children in the white ranch house. Some members of the family lived in the house until the 1950s. RidgeGate Investments bought the property in 1972, and chose to preserve the 38-acre property as a historic landmark instead of developing it into home sites or commercial property.

Evening falls on the Schweiger Ranch, a historic property located east of Interstate 25 on Havana Road in Lone Tree’s RidgeGate development. Photo by Jane Reuter “Eventually, our future development plan allows houses around the ranch, but nothing will be built on the (38-acre) ranch itself,” Jones said. “The homes will be off in the distance over some of the ridge lines, which will create a bit of a buf-

fer form future development.” The ranch is open to the public for guided and self-guided tours every Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 5 pm. A caretaker lives on site. For more information, contact the ranch at 303-790-0557.

Literacy rate low among blind Professor seeks help in finding answers By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Imagine a world without reading. Now imagine a world where you could read anytime, anywhere, even in the dark. Matt Maurer says 90 percent of blind people are living in the former world, and he hopes to help bring them into the latter. Maurer, a professor of instructional technology at Butler University in Indiana, visited the Colorado Center for the Blind June 10 to enlist the help of its students with his research into Braille, a language that is languishing on the vine. A 2009 study by the National Federation of the Blind found that fewer than 10 percent of the 1.3 million people in the United States who are legally blind can read Braille, and only about 10 percent of blind children are learning it. This leads to high dropout and unemployment rates in the blind community, which is likely to get worse as baby boomers age and the incidence of diabetes, a leading cause of blindness, skyrockets. Maurer is traveling to centers like CCB across the country, filming the hands of Braille readers along the way to see how the fastest ones achieve their speed. “We know a lot about good technique in Braille, but very little of it is documented,” he said. He’s looking for things like whether they use one or both hands, how many fingers they use and how much pressure they apply. He’s seen people who just use one finger, and people who read the beginning of the line with their right hand and finish with the left while the right one finds the new line. He’s even seen people whose hands can read separately, and people who start with one hand on either side of the line and then meet in the middle. Few can really explain why they read the way they do, he said, and some can’t even describe what they do accurately. Jasmine McCandless, 8, told Maurer she reads with all 10 fingers — mostly joke books, her favorite — but then realized that

Michelle Chacon, a teacher at the Colorado Center for the Blind, can read Braille at a rate of about 180 words a minute. Photo by Jennifer Smith she really only touches the paper with two at a time. Her teacher, Michelle Chacon, said her two hands usually read independently, unless she’s tired. Chacon reads about 180 words a minute. Maurer said it’s hard to know for sure what’s average, but he thinks it’s around 150 or so. Maurer’s interest in educating the blind is rooted in family. He is sighted, but his brother, Marc, has been blind since birth and president of the NFB since 1986. Both passionate about education, they worked together in 2006 on a project that examined best practices and common characteristics of outstanding educators for the blind. But the key to education for any

child, sighted or blind, is, of course, literacy. “Braille is full literacy, audio is only partial literacy,” said Matt Maurer. He explained that many kids with visual impairment are steered toward visual reading in public schools with limited resources, even when they know the child’s sight will eventually get worse. And magnifying tools take away from the experience of reading, he said, kind of like sitting in the front row at a movie theater. But one of the biggest reasons Braille is endangered is that technology meant to ease the lives of the blind has, perhaps, eased them a bit too much. “I don’t hear anybody saying sighted kids

should give up print just because they have technology,” said Maurer. “We’ll give up Braille when you give up print.” Reading, whether done through the eyes or the hands, is a more active process than listening, he said — consider the difference between reading a book and listening to a book on tape. “Print and Braille are about creating meaning from symbols,” said Maurer. The NFB agrees. “No one would seriously suggest that alternate sources of information, like television and radio, replace the need for a sighted child to learn to read; the same should be true for Braille,” says the NFB.

Aquatics coach catches second wave in pool Instructor sheds pounds, racks up medals at 54 By Savanna Walker

Special to Colorado Community Media A competitive swimmer from ages 5 to 18, Suzy Cotton-Tatnall took a 30-year break from the sport, which only ended when she “had a meltdown” in 2007. “My father died, my daughter went to college, and I became very unhealthy,” she said. “I dove back in the water and just started with practicing one day a week.” And while she regained her health, losing seven sizes and 35 pounds, Cotton-Tatnall soon set her sights on competing once again. A longtime employee and influence in the Aquatics Department at the Highlands Ranch Community Association, Cotton-

Tatnall now can lay claim to being a competitive swimming champion several times over at the age of 54. In the last four years she has set eight state records, secured five top-10 national times, and most recently was a 2013 relay All-American. In August, she plans to compete in the FINA World Masters Swimming Championships. FINA, the Federation Internationale de Natation, is the international governing body for swimming. Shortly after returning to the pool, she qualified for nationals — with hopes of winning just one medal. “I knew if I was healthy enough I could do it,” she said. “I wanted to show that you can do things as you get older.” And despite pulling a shoulder early on, she “just kept getting faster.” “I’m better in everything than I was in college — this is the best swimming I’ve ever done,” she said, smiling.

Now Cotton-Tatnall hopes to succeed at the FINA Championships in Montreal. As a sprinter, Cotton-Tatnall will be swimming in a much larger pool than she is used to — 50 meters as opposed to 25 yards. “It’s a challenge,” she says, but one she looks forward to. Cotton-Tatnall’s late father was a swim coach, as is her daughter, Britney, and her mother. “This runs in our blood — we’re amphibians,” she said with a laugh, adding: “I know my father would be ever so proud of what I’ve accomplished.” Not only is Cotton-Tatnall a decorated competitor, but she is a dedicated member of the HRCA aquatics program as well, involved in coaching, teaching and water safety. “This community is huge,” she says. “They’ve been my family, my backbone for 17 years.” Not only was she a coach, an experience she calls “very rewarding,” but she was dedicated to developing and overseeing precompetitive programs for children, as well as social swimming programs for adults.

Her involvement at nearly every age level of the aquatics program gives her a unique perspective. “With the 3- and 5-year-olds, they would go from just getting their face in the water to actual strokes. And then maybe go on to the swim team. Or work next to me as a lifeguard.” When asked about the differences between her earlier career and her success now, Cotton-Tatnall says, “Now I do it because I don’t have to. It’s a fun thing, with social groups where you can know people for years and encourage each other through life. It’s your mid-life crisis as opposed to your high-school crises.” Through all her success, Cotton-Tatnall hopes to inspire others to pursue their passions in the same way. “You can do this. It doesn’t matter how old you are or where you are in life. You can be whoever you want to be and can achieve any goal if you are willing to try. I’m 54 and I’m swimming next to 20-year-olds and beating them.” She smiles as she says, “That’s an empowering thing.”

Racing helps keep couples on track Married pairs enjoy pastime at Bandimere By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media When it comes to car racing, what better way is there to spend a summer weekend than at the track? It’s the drag strips that have become special venues for John Muhr and his wife, Cheryl, and Jeff Andreen and his wife, Sherry. And it’s almost like home for the two families at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. On both sides of the Muhr and Andreen families, the husbands have been involved in racing for much of their lives. As for the women, they’ve mostly become active on the track itself within the last dozen years. John Muhr, 46, drives a 1978 Malibu, while Cheryl, 45, is quite happy in her 1967 Impala. John graduated from Mullen High School and from Fort Lewis College with a degree in communication. Cheryl graduated from University of CaliforniaDavis, also with a degree in communication and graphic arts. John has been racing for 29 years. He has won several events over the years and has several top-10 finishes. Yet he has yet to win a season title over the years. He has won the Brackett Nationals and won a Chevy Cup race in 2012 at Bandimere. “Why am I doing this? It’s the rewards, the friendships and, of course, the competition,” John said. “I don’t begrudge working under the car. There are some downsides and that’s hard to say. But, we are blessed. “Tim Schuster gave me a ride in his Chevy Nova,” he added. “Up until then, I had no real interest in car racing. Two weeks later I got into a race and I’ve always owned a Nova.” John admits there is always a calculated risk in all things cars can do, and he is quick to note that anything can happen out on the track. “It has been extremely rewarding for the amount of work you put in,” he said. “The travel here never surmounts what we have at work. Bandimere is the best

Courtesy photos facility we have ever stepped upon and the greatest class I’ve done. The risks fade, but you never know when things can happen. “There are droughts in driving,” he continued. “You can go out and lose several times in a row, and every racer has to face that. As for our age, there are a lot of young drivers who are good out there. It’s lose and go home. Getting drilled out here on the track is part of the furniture. ” John and Cheryl have fun with names on the cars and their thoughts. The name of the club team the Muhrs are in is called “Disorganized Grime.” “The only plan is there is no plan,” John said. “It’s rewarding when we win or place high, so really, we don’t have a lot of complaints about our sport or how we have handled it as a family.” And there is little doubt that Cheryl is

into the sport of racing on a high note. “You can’t cut the lawn or do the laundry at home and enjoy it like coming to race,” she said. “The camaraderie of all the drivers makes it seem like a vacation. It’s family here at the track all the way. You do your burnouts and turnouts and we don’t care who we race. “If we knew who was going to win all the time we wouldn’t race, no one would,” Cheryl continued. “If we’re not doing well, we have friends who are doing well, and that’s what makes it nice to know. We’re honored, too, in that we won the Superman Award in 2013 and we were tongue tied.” The Andreens, who reside in Westminster, are a super example of how age doesn’t seem to make that much of a difRacing continues on Page 25

Sabercats hire second hoops coach of summer Patrick Simpson takes over as Russ McKinstry accepts AD job at Monarch High By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle View has named its second new head boys basketball coach in the past two months. Former Lewis-Palmer coach Russ McKinstry was hired as the Sabercats coach in April but on June 23 accepted a position as athletic director at Monarch High School. Patrick Simpson, who led Rampart into the state Class 5A playoffs last season and had accepted an assistant coaching position on McKinstry’s Castle View staff, assumed the head coaching job when McKinstry departed. “Patrick Simpson will be teaching (at the school) and be our head boys basketball coach,” said Sabercats’ Athletic Director Derek Cordes. “McKinstry was with us and helped out a little bit but Patrick is here now to run it.” McKinstry has been the AD at Northridge, Lewis-Palmer, Smoky Hill and Chaparral. For five seasons he was the head basketball coach at Lewis-Palmer and led the Rangers to piggyback Class 4A state titles in 2012 and 2013. He left his positions as AD and basketball coach at Lewis-Palmer after the 2012-13 season to take over as athletic director at Chaparral. However, he was at the Parker school less than a month before leaving to pursue business opportunities. “Last time we talked was regarding the Chaparral position and deciding to go into the private business sector, and although it was a

great learning experience it was not where my heart lies,” said McKinstry who notched 418 victories in 25 seasons as a basketball coach. “It was a very hard and gut-wrenching decision to move on to Monarch. “There are great kids at Castle View and their AD Derek Cordes and Principal Jim Calhoun are first class super guys. My desire to reconnect with kids and coaches led me to Monarch. If coaching paid more than a few grand a year, Castle View was a perfect fit. They treated me great but I needed something more than a part-time coaching position.” McKinstry said he feels the Castle View basketball program will be fine without him, calling Simpson a “rising star of a coach” and saying, “He will do a fantastic job.” Simpson was 45-50 in four seasons at Rampart and the Littleton resident was seeking a job closer to home. His wife, Brittany, is the head women’s basketball coach at Colorado School of Mines. She was an Orediggers assistant for four years before becoming the head coach last season. “I’d been living in Denver the past six years and commuting down to Colorado Springs,” said Simpson. “I’d been looking to get up closer to home. Castle View had a teaching position and I’ve known Russ McKinstry for a long time and I have a lot of respect for him. I had the opportunity to jump on his staff. “When the coaching situation changed, I was there and interviewed for the position. They wanted to keep me in house because we had a lot of good things going with the program and we wanted to keep the ball rolling. “In his two months, Russ got the ball rolling. I told Russ when I applied to be his assistant that I definitely wanted to be a head coach again someday. I was ready for the position and it kind of worked out.”

Zuppa makes players around her better Littleton High grad named Girls Lacrosse Player of Year By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Stacey Zuppa is a prime example of the fact that it takes more than statistics to measure the worth of a good girls lacrosse player. Zuppa, a recent Littleton High School graduate, did not lead the Heritage/Littleton lacrosse team in scoring. Her totals in goals, assists and points were among the top 10 in the Continental League but were not high on the list of state leaders. Still, Zuppa’s all-around play was a factor in her being named Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Girls Lacrosse Player of the Year. She was also chosen as the Continental League’s Player of the Year. “I don’t even look at statistics,” said Zuppa, who will play lacrosse next season at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. “I don’t think they really speak to the game at all. There is so much that goes on that is not recorded, especially the assists. They are very strict, like it has to be a quick goal, but sometimes it’s more setting up a play, getting the ball, moving it and getting other people open.

ference in drag racing, as Jeff is 71 and Sherry is 67. Jeff is at home in his 1996 Mercury, as is Sherry in her 1929 Ford Tudor competing in the Flathead Division. “I married Jeff and he always was into racing,” Sherry said. “We love Flatheads. He has been racing just about his whole life, certainly since he got his driver’s license. At first, it seemed he never would let me touch his race car. But one day, he signed me up for a race. I just couldn’t sit

“I look at other teams and see they have thousands of goals and assists, but that also speaks to the team. We really did well, everyone on our team. It wasn’t just that we were going to have just one person score all the time. A lot of different people were able to constantly contribute.” Zuppa had 45 goals and 63 points for the Gryphons, who advanced to the second round of the state playoffs. She led the Continental League in draws with a .508 percentage. “She’s an amazing athlete,” said Heritage/Littleton coach Alexis Rawlings. “She doesn’t have a stop button. She never wanted to be taken off the field.” Rawlings lauded Zuppa as the midfield transition player who helped the Gryphons switch into offensive plays. Rawlings said one of Zuppa’s biggest concerns was “how can she assist another player.” “I did really well and I was able to grow as a leader and take on that role,” recalled Zuppa. “I was one of the few seniors on the team. It was a good experience. I was able to lead. I was a captain, which was nice, and I was able to bring a lot to the team on the field too. “There were many games I wasn’t scoring, but I was setting picks for someone else to help them get open or maybe set up a play, which can be a little more helpful sometimes than just scoring a goal.” and watch. “I took first place in my first race 12 years ago and it really shocked me,” Sherry said with a chuckle. “I was the only women in the club and that made me feel kind of weird. We’ve retired, and in the summer we race for fun. It’s just great fun and rewarding to go down to the track, and this is certainly a great group of people to be around. We really enjoy the camaraderie.” As for a summer venture, Jeff said it couldn’t be more nice and enjoyable. “We’ve been together racing since 1996,” Jeff said. “Our group, the Flatheads, is an old style and we like to be out there for fun. I don’t think we take

I won Flathead Inline four times over the years and Sherry was third last year. “We used to do a lot more traveling, but it was expensive and we stay around Bandimere a lot more now,” said Jeff. “It’s great to be around the other drivers and we’ve always found it to be worth our efforts.”

Keith Rauch, starting in the fifth row inside, charged through the field and after two laps was challenging Harr for the lead. Harr and Rauch were in their own world and were battling for the lead, which left the rest of the field challenging for positions. On the last lap going for the checkered flag, Rauch tried to pass Harr one final time. But at the finish line, it was Harr, Rauch, Tony Rossi, Fennell and Greg Schaefer rounding out the top five positions. Don Holbrook contributed to this article.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JunE 30, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Get your facts together and become familiar with them before you have to face up to that interview. The better prepared you are, the easier it will be to make that important impression. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) new information might warrant changing your mind about a recently made decision. never mind the temporary confusion it might cause. Acting on the truth is always preferable. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Creating a loving atmosphere for those you care for could pay off in many ways. Expect to hear some unexpected but very welcome news that can make a big difference in your life.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Stepping away from an old and seemingly insoluble problem might be helpful. use the time to take a new look at the situation and perhaps work out a new method of dealing with it. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You’re still in a favorable goalsetting mode. However, you might need to be a little more realistic about some of your aims. Best to reach for what is currently doable. The rest will follow. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A setback is never easy to deal with. But it could be a boon in disguise. Recheck your proposal, and strengthen the weak spots. Seek advice from someone who has “been there and done that.” LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Coming up with a new way of handling a tedious job-regulated chore could lead to more than just a congratulatory memo once the word reaches the “right people.” Good luck. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to nov 21) What you might call determination someone else might regard as stubbornness. Look for ways to reach a compromise that won’t require a major shift of views on your part. SAGITTARIUS (nov 22 to Dec 21) You’re still in a vulnerable mode vis-a-vis “offers” that sound too good to be true. So continue to be skeptical about anything that can’t be backed up with provable facts. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Thrift is still dominant this week. What you don’t spend on what you don’t need will be available for you to draw on should a possible (albeit temporary) money crunch hit. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Staying close to home early in the week allows for some introspection about your social life. Sort out your feelings before rejoining your fun-time fellows on the weekend. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) It can be a bit daunting as well as exciting to find yourself finally taking action on a long-delayed move for a change. It helps to stay with it when others rally to support you. BORN THIS WEEK: Your love of home and family provide you with the emotional support you need to find success in the outside world. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
