Small beads fuel big dreams School project fosters friendships, hope in rural Kenyan village By Deborah Grigsby

ural life in Kenya is filled with many challenges, but thanks to some very well-traveled beads, girls in a faraway Kenyan village now have hope. Education is often expensive, and for girls in particular it is considered a luxury, explained Willow Creek Elementary School teacher Lisa Heaton. She traveled last summer to Enoosaen, a small community outside Nairobi. While she was there, she visited the Kakenya School of Excellence, a primary boarding school focused on serving un-

derprivileged Maasai girls. Heaton was touched by the girls’ genuine enthusiasm for life. “They knew that education was a true gift; something we often forget here in the States, and I wanted to bring that global experience back to my students.” So Heaton partnered with Seeds to Sew, a New Jersey-based organization founded by a retired Cherry Creek School District educator, Janice Ito, and her daughter, Ellyn. Heaton’s students launched a schoolwide bead drive. Collecting thousands of tiny colorful seed beads, each slightly larger than a standard pinhead, Heaton and colleague Peg Link sent the beads more than 8,600 miles back to Kenya, where women and girls from the village school crafted hundreds of bracelets. The beads, now attached to woven black leather bands, have returned to Willow Creek Elementary and will be sold by students.

The bracelet Student sale takes place bracelet Sale before and after school, May What: Benefit for the 21-23.

centennial tower keeps graveyard shift FAA drops order for study; ‘battle over,’ says airport exec By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com In spite of its on-again-offagain relationship with the Federal Aviation Administration’s budget woes, Centennial Airport’s graveyard shift is now officially off the chopping block, thanks to a hefty pushback not only by airport officials, but by neighboring community leaders, too. Airport Executive Director Robert Olislagers said the FAA notified Congress late on May 7 that the order to study the closure of the night shift at 72 towers had been rescinded. “That battle is now over and unlikely to come back up,” he said.

The battle to keep air traffic controllers on duty overnight at Centennial Airport is over. According to Airport Executive Director Robert Olislagers, the FAA has receinded its order to study the elimination of night shift operations. Photo by Deborah Grigsby Douglas County District 1 Commissioner Jack Hilbert said he’s pleased with the decision and that the move is the result of a community ef-

fort to get the FAA’s attention. Centennial Airport, which lies in both Arapahoe and Douglas counties, is one of the bigger aviation and aero-

space economic development clusters in the state, according to Olislagers. Hilbert, who helped lead the effort, said the grassroots work garnered the support of several communities, including Parker and Lone Tree, and multiple businesses and economic development organizations. “For us, it wasn’t just the just the job issue,” Hilbert said. “Community safety factors came into play, too.” Centennial Airport has had a long-running distinction as one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country, Olislagers has said if Centennial did lose its night-shift air traffic control operation, it would only be a matter of time before accidents would follow.

Dogs had their day in Denver on May 13, as Gov. John Hickenlooper signed two pieces of legislation that led to some serious tail-wagging from our four-legged friends. The governor — who brought his dog Sky to a bill-signing at the Denver Animal Shelter — put his signature on a bill aimed at protecting dogs whenever police are called to their owners’ homes, and another that designates dogs — and cats — that are adopted from animal shelters as the state pets. “These pets become a huge part of people’s lives,” Hickenlooper said. Each bill received support from Democrats and Republicans in the General AsReport sembly this legislative session. “This is a bipartisan day for dogs,” said Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial, who was flanked by Democratic lawmakers, Sen. Lucia Guzman and Rep. Lois Court, both of Denver. The three co-sponsored Senate Bill 226, known as the “Dog Protection Act.” The bill requires law enforcement agencies to put in place training, and to adopt policies and procedures that officers would be required to adhere to whenever they respond to homes where there are dogs. The measure allows dog owners the opportunity to put their pets outside or into another room whenever police come to the home for calls involving non-violent situations. The bill calls for the creation of a volunteer task force that will outline officer training guidelines. The bill was the result of recent headline-grabbing stories involving officerrelated dog shootings around the state. Erie resident Brittany Moore’s German Shepard, Ava, was 4 years old when it was shot to death by a police officer there two years ago. “We’ll always miss her and she’ll always be in our hearts,” Moore said afterward. “But I think this was a huge deal, this bill. I think it’s going to help a lot of situations,” The bill got unanimous support from both legislative chambers this session. The same cannot be said about Senate Bill 201, which designates cats and dogs that have been adopted from state animal shelters and rescues as the state pets. The bill received criticism from animal breeder and retail groups, who felt

Markets sprout, and farmers survive The early morning chill, left over from winter’s most recent unwelcome blast, settles along the quiet street where blue and white canopies have popped up like overdue buds, signaling the arrival of the season’s first farmers market. Soft music, lingering from a nearby restaurant, punctures the hush, along with occasional laughter and voices from vendors as they ready tables with wares and hopes for a good day. Danish bakery workers pull sugarcrusted strudels — apricot and apple raisin — from their truck to shelves along the sidewalk. Nearby is the homemade peanut butter woman and the Angus beef man and the cheerful El Salvador cook. At the end is the farmer. He is 63, the great-grandson of a farmer who bought a plot of land 108 years ago in Welby, between Denver and Thornton, off North Washington Street. Today, he has 80 acres in Hudson, a country town of 2,300 northeast of Denver on Interstate 76, a solid hour-and-15-minute drive to the Sunday market in Highlands Ranch. He stands next to his white truck, watching the market unfold, an ever-present cigarillo clutched in a weathered hand that tells a story of a working life rooted in the soil. He is a content man whose easy smiles crinkle soft grooves around blue eyes that peer intently from a sun-worn face. “I might not be farming today if it weren’t for the markets,” Alan Mazzotti says. “They’ve kept us in business.” And they’ve kept us, the customers, connected to a less complicated time, when people knew who had grown the food on their table — a slice of knowledge that cultivated gratitude and nurtured community. Sean and Maria McAfee, married 22 years, can’t drive by a farmers market

without stopping, whether it’s along the coastal drive to San Francisco or in their hometown. When they lived in Evergreen, they visited the local market there every Tuesday. Now, in Highlands Ranch, they never miss a Sunday. It’s a matter of principle and a matter of friendship. Besides the benefit of fresh produce, “I’d rather pay a little more to support local people,” Maria says. “We’re big believers in moving away from the Walmart-ization of the U.S.” And, over the years, many vendors have become friends — the Angus beef man invited them to his wedding last year. “They become part of the fabric of your life,” Maria says. “We were so excited,” Sean says of the week leading up to opening day. “We were talking about this all week.” They walk away, hand in hand, each with a small bag. Basil and oregano seedlings in one, peanut butter, pasta and honey in the other. This time, “we didn’t have a lot to buy,” Maria says. “It was seeing old friends.” Colorado has more than 100 farmers markets, with about half in the Denver metro area, according to the state Department of Agriculture. They operate individually or through sponsoring organizations. Most are seasonal, running from May through October, and their arrival seems to

signal the start — finally — of summer. The Metro Denver Farmers Market, founded 36 years ago, is the oldest organization. And that’s how long Mazzotti, an original member, has been selling at the outdoor markets, which he estimates have kept 70 percent of local farmers in business. In fact, he says, most farmers grow specifically for the markets. He has corn, carrots, green beans, cauliflower, sweet corn, cucumbers, winter and summer squashes, parsley, basil. “I can’t think fast enough,” he says as he rattles off the list. Farmers do have other outlets such as fruit and vegetable stands, garden centers and pumpkin patches. But they expect to earn most of their money in the summer markets. They are, however, no longer just for farmers. Walk through any market and you’ll see the realization of a melting pot of dreams. There’s the gourmet nut man, stirring almonds with a wooden paddle in a copper vat as a tantalizing aroma draws a crowd. There’s a local children’s book author. And there’s Monse Perez Hines, the young Salvadoran wife of a military man, who drives up from Colorado Springs each week to sell curtido and pupusas, traditional foods she makes in her home which are so popular she always returns with empty coolers. “I’ve received such great support from everyone here,” she says. And “I’ve been able to share my culture.” And Evi Bujdoso of Hungary, selling Danish pastries. She wears a white apron, and her short, blond hair pokes out from beneath a white cap. A half hour from closing time, just a handful of strudels and a few croissants are left. “We weren’t prepared all the way,” she says with a slight accent and a quick smile. “People were excited to see us back again.”

As vendors begin to pack up, Mazzotti stands by his truck, behind the tables and ground laden with pansies, petunias and geraniums in planters, baskets and trays. Herb seedlings, also from his greenhouse, sit in the canopy shade. It’s too early in the season for most vegetables and fruit. The day’s proceeds: Just OK. “A little chilly,” he explains. But that’s all right. He’s reconnected with many of his customers, some now friends, like the brothers in their 90s at the Auraria market in Denver that he’s known for 30 years and who even visit his farm at times. Next week, he hopes to bring asparagus, spinach and lettuce with his flowers. Come June, he’ll be trucking loads of vegetables to six markets a week. Down the row of vendors, he watches canopies folding shut — like tulips closing at day’s end. Like the others, he loads up and heads for home. “I’m tired,” he says. A smile quickly appears. “I’m getting older every day.” And rest won’t come until the plants are back in the greenhouse, the truck is cleaned, the crops tended, the chores all done. Then, he’ll enjoy the peace of the land, the lack of pavement that traps heat, the friendliness of country neighbors. “I have to make a living. I have to feed my family, too.” But more than anything, he says, working the land and sharing its yield with the rest of us, “is a way of life.” A farmer’s life. And a good life.

Aviation laws take flight in Centennial Hickenlooper inks new legislation at airport By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Three new aviation-related bills were signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper, two of which benefit Colorado’s growing aviation and aerospace industry. The bill-signing took place May 13 in the Denverjet Center lobby at Centennial Airport. One bill, known as the “Aviation Development Zone Act,” grants Colorado aircraft manufactures a $1,200 state tax credit for each new employee hired, another extends the Colorado job growth incentive tax credit by an additional five years, and the third creates a special license plate for the Civil Air Patrol. Hickenlooper lauded House Bills 131080 and 13-1287 as “huge job creators,” not just for Centennial, but for all airports around the state. “People often say I spend too much time trying to get companies to put their headquarters here,” Hickenlooper said.

Using the tail of an aircraft as a solid surface to write, Gov. John Hickenlooper, center, puts a pen to Senate Bill 13-060 on May 13 at Centennial Airport. Joined by state Rep. Frank McNulty, left, and state Sen. Mark Scheffel, Hickenlooper signed the bill into law, creating a special license plate for the Civil Air Patrol. Photo by Deborah Grigsby “The fact is, for every big company that locates here, there are several smaller

companies that come in and feed off the new economic cluster created.”

“That runway out there is not just a piece of concrete that connects Arapahoe and Douglas counties,” said Republican Rep. Chris Holbert of Parker, one of the HB 13-1080 sponsors. “It’s actually a portal to new opportunities.” House District 43 Republican Rep. Frank McNulty joked that SB 13-060 was not really a jobs bill, “unless you’re an inmate in Canon City.” The bill, sponsored by McNulty, creates a Civil Air Patrol license plate. “This is just a small way to recognize the tremendous work this organization does,” he said. Hickenlooper signed the license plate bill into law on the tail of a Civil Air Patrol plane, much to the delight of several uniformed CAP members in attendance. According to Airport Executive Director Robert Olislagers, who helped author major portions of the Aviation Development Zone Act, aviation in Colorado contributes an estimated $11 billion to the economy and supports more than 340,000 jobs. Centennial is currently home to several major aviation and aerospace companies, including Sierra Nevada Corp. and Jeppesen.

Woman accused of stealing from National Guard Foundation Former treasurer may have pocketed more than $350K By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com A former Colorado National Guard Foundation volunteer has been charged with stealing more than $350,000 from a Centennial-based charity that helps struggling military families with financial assistance in the form of grants and loans. According to court documents, Ruthann Oppenheim was arrested and charged with embezzlement May 3 in Arlington, Va.

“We’re deeply sorry this happened,” said Andrew Meverden, chairman of the foundation. “Our top priority has always been to protect the funds, and if there is one lesson we’ve learned from this, it’s that small business and charities are really quite vulnerable — you’ve really got to have strong safeguards in place.” Oppenheim, who served a three-year term as the NGF’s treasurer, is thought to have pilfered money from not only the CNGF, but the Colorado Military Family Relief Fund as well. Meverden said emotions among board members range from pity to outright anger. “Right now, our only recourse is to let the

legal system do its job,” he said. “And we’re hoping for full restoration and recovery of the funds.” Meverden admits he’s not quite sure what form restoration and recovery may take. “Now whether that comes in the form of liens on property or vehicles or something else, that’s something we’ll be relying on the legal system to help us with,” he said. Inconsistencies with the organization’s finances surfaced more than a year ago during an internal audit, according to Meverden. “There were just a lot of things that didn’t make sense,” he said. “Ledgers didn’t bal-

ance with bank statements, unauthorized purchases and even NGF gift cards being cashed out in Las Vegas.” Oppenheim posted bail in Virginia and was released on personal recognizance. Court documents show she is due back in Arlington General District Court on June 12. Meverden said the plan, as he understands it, is for Oppenheim to be extradited back to Arapahoe County. “We are resolved to recover the funds,” said Meverden. “It’s important that we have restitution so we can continue to honor the fund’s intent, and that’s to help eligible families of deployed military members.”

l State seen as leader in energy independence

ust aUdall says innovation, ahoe investments are key ican f the By Deborah Grigsby por-

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com

Rep. When it comes to energy independence, was U.S. Sen. Mark Udall admits there’s no siln inver bullet. But there is “silver buckshot,” he said. creUdall, who was in Centennial on May 10 at the South Metro Chamber, said one of gnize Colorado’s most promising areas of growth ation will be energy, and not just in fossil fuels. However, according to the second-genplate eration Democratic statesman, in order to atrol seize the opportunities that come with enuniergy, the government must first eliminate economic barriers that hinder new product irecand job development. uthor For Udall, those barriers are immigraeveltion reform and a balanced budget. rado Although statistics show unemployment n to is down and housing starts are up, Udall than said it’s not enough, and Colorado’s diverse energy landscape may be the key to keepevering the economy growing. mpa“Colorado is truly a balanced model for and a national energy policy,” Udall said. “Just think about it — we’ve got solar in the San Luis Valley, we’ve got wind towers on the Eastern Slope of the state, we’ve got natural gas and coal and oil on the Western Slope.

We’ve got it all and we’re showing the showing the nation — and literally the world — how to achieve energy independence.” An advocate for renewable energy, Udall went on to explain that innovation will play a role in maintaining balance between energy production and the environment. “One success story is a methane capture project in Somerset, Colo.,” said Udall. “And what this project does is take a waste product — which is methane — and turns it into electricity.” The project is a collaboration between Aspen Skiing Co. and Oxbow Mining LLC to explore the untapped potential of coal bed methane. Udall pointed out that methane gas is either burned off or vented away from the mine. “This waste product now powers all of Aspen’s four ski areas, 13 restaurants and three hotels,” he said. “And this is all because members of the private sector decided to come together and find an innovative job-creating solution.” But while Udall cites the Oxbow model as an example of success, he also points out that the transition to renewable resources must come gradually. “We will eventually get there,” he said. “When you think about it, fossil fuels are finite.” But in the meantime, Udall said the state should continue responsible development of more traditional energy resources.

Sen. Mark Udall speaks at a South Metro Chamber gathering on May 10. Photo by Deborah Grigsby “We in Colorado have a tremendous opportunity to lead the world in oil and natural gas production,” he said. “Why? Because there have been innovations in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing and they will help fuel our economic recovery and make our nation more energy-indepen-

dent.” But Udall admits development is moving closer and closer to residential areas. “I believe that oil and gas development is an industrial process, and it can be done safely when it’s done right,” he said. “But the public is raising some serious and legitimate concerns about the process, specifically hydraulic fracturing.” As many Colorado communities begin to define oil and gas exploration regulations, Udall acknowledge the heated debates are just the beginning of a longer conversation. “I know you all will agree that one well contaminated is one well too many,” he said. “I want the industry to do everything possible to be transparent with the public, especially with their efforts with hydraulic fracturing.” But that comes with a caveat. “The state has to be informed by science,” said Udall, listing a number of ongoing research projects on the topic. “No rhetoric, no speculation.” Overall, Udall thinks the state’s on the right track, but shouldn’t rest on its laurels. “We can’t wait until the next energy crisis, natural disaster or national tragedy forces Congress and all of us to act,” he said. “Investments in innovation by industry are essential to helping the United States transition to a more reliable, affordable and secure energy future.”

CENTENNIAL NEWS IN A HURRY Justice Center under construction

A large construction project is underway at the Arapahoe County Justice Center, 7325 S. Potomac St. in Centennial. The project will connect the lobbies of both courthouses, and will include two security screening stations with a centralized entrance in the middle of the campus. Construction is expected to delay entrance into both courthouses and visitors, jurors and staff are encouraged to allow for extra time to clear security. The grass courtyard between Court-

house I and Courthouse II will be closed during construction and is expected to remain closed until January.

Graduation ‘Selfless leaders’ set to graduate from Arapahoe By Deborah Grigsby dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com In her first year as Arapahoe High School principal, Natalie Pramenko defined members of the Class of 2013 as ambitious, passionate, intelligent, hard-working and caring individuals. “Our seniors have shown generosity in fundraising for others less fortunate through commitment, organization and hard work,” she said. This year’s Warriors class, according to Pramenko, raised more than $15,000 for Adam’s Camp, an organization that provides recreational therapy camps for children and young adults with developmental disabilities.

Athletically and in other competitive challenges, Pramenko said the school performed exceptionally well, with impressive finishes in football, tennis, cross country, basketball and poms. DECA, FBLA, Speech and Debate, Technology Student Association and Winter Guard also received national recognition. Pramenko said many seniors have received some very prestigious scholarships, but all worked equally hard to meet every graduation requirement. With a total enrollment of more than 2,200 students, Arapahoe High School is the largest of the three high schools in the Littleton Public School District. “I’m proud of every senior in the Class of 2013,” she said, adding that they have shown underclassmen “how to lead selflessly and with class.”

Accomplished, educated and energized, this year’s senior class at Cherry Cheek High School will leave with an impressive list of achievements. “The 2012-13 school year was full of learning, growing, excitement and accomplishment,” said Principal Ryan Silva in the Home Herald, a regular letter he writes to the district. “Our test scores indicate that our students are learning and will leave us wellprepared for college.” According to the school, this year’s departing Bruins have also raised the bar for future students, amassing 15 National Merit Scholars, a Black National Achievement Scholar, four National Hispanic Recognition Scholars, a Boettcher Scholar, a Daniels Fund

WWII veterans visit memorials 29 are guests of Denver nonprofit for D.C. trip By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

Twenty-nine World War II veterans from communities along the Front Range, representing every branch of the military service, used words like “amazing,” “memorable” and “emotional” to describe their Rocky Mountain Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C. “This was a very special trip for me. It was very memorable,” Littleton resident Frank Epperson, who flew with the famous Flying Tigers in China, said of the May 2-4 trip. “I appreciate all the honor flight did to make this a special trip for those of us who served in World War II. I was humbled and honored when people I have never met come up to thank me for my service. This is a trip I will not forget.” Rocky Mountain Honor Flight, a Denver-based nonprofit, gives World War II veterans the opportunity to visit the national World War II Memorial in Washington. The volunteers of Rocky Mountain Honor Flight made this a very special trip for the guests of honor. Active-duty military personnel met the veterans at the airport prov-and helped them with their baggage. Then, zenspeople in the airport and on the plane apoth-plauded when the presence of World War II I amveterans was announced. the The flight landed at Baltimore and a fire truck shot an arc of water over the plane, there were flag-waving volunteers as the f six group got off the plane and a brass band Chergreeted them at baggage claim. rict. Englewood resident Sel Hewitt, a radio highoperator on a B-29 in the Pacific during the met-war, said the trip was fantastic and was a -acrenever-to-be-forgotten experience. than “I think every veteran appreciated every minute of that trip,” he said. “Everything was special, the places we visited and the contacts we had with people of all ages who were interested in what we had done and what we were doing.” Franktown resident Doug Brown, an Army veteran, agreed. “This trip was pretty unique, as were the greetings and bands and the other special things that were done for our visit,” Brown said. “We were greeted and treated very well. I was in an armored unit that took part in the invasion of Germany. It was very important to me to talk to people who had similar experiences.” Planners kept the veterans busy. Among other activities, they visited the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam and Korean memorials, and watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery. Some activities just happened. For example, the Dothan (Ala.) High School band was at the World War II Memorial during the honor flight visit and they performed a special concert for the veterans. Numerous student groups were at the World War II Memorial, and Chase Bur-

World War II veteran Sel Hewitt of Englewood talks about his experiences to a group of students during the visit to the World War II Memorial. Hewitt was part of an honor flight to Washington, D.C., provided by a Denver-based nonprofit. Photo by Tom Munds rows, a student at a Sumter, S.C., middle school, spent quite a bit of time talking to the veterans. “This is special to me. My great-grandfather died in World War II, when his plane was shot down. I have read about the war and we studied it in school but talking to these men means a lot more than reading and studying.” He said he talked to Dick Olson about his experience in a submarine, to Dick Frank about his experience as a Marine and Littleton resident Hos Varner about how he joined the Coast Guard and was assigned to crews bringing ships back from the Philippines. “I really thank these men for what they did,” Burrows said. “They are really heroes in my eyes.” On the flight home, the veterans had a surprise with a “mail call” as each man received an envelope with 20 to 25 letters from family, friends and, more often, from people they had never met thanking them for their service. “This is a surprise and it is tremendous,” Vic Olson said as he read the letters. “I truly appreciate the letters and the sentiments they expressed. It is moving and very, very special.” The finale came when the veterans arrived at Denver International Airport, where they were met by a cheering, applauding crowd of about 200 friends, family, military personnel, police officers and firefighters in uniform and well-wishers. Members of the Patriot Guard lined the wall holding American flags, and the El Jebel pipe band played.

Group racks up series of successes By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Once again, the hard work and detailed planning by about 25 Rocky Mountain Honor Flight volunteers resulted in a successful three-day trip to Washington, D.C., this time for 29 World War II veterans. “Rocky Mountain Honor Flight was created to take World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., for a time of remembrance, and celebration of their service and sacrifice,” said Mary Denise Haddon, group president. “All the cost of the trip is covered for our veterans.” Donations from individuals and organizations pay the cost of airfare, hotel rooms, meals and ground transportation. The cost is about $800 to $1,000 per veteran. The volunteers who accompany the vets pay their own expenses. The costs include providing a World War II veteran cap, a shirt, a backpack and a name tag to each veteran. The veterans wear red shirts. The volunteers wear blue shirts and hats. The most recent trip, May 2-4, was the 17th time Rocky Mountain Honor Flight has arranged a trip for World War II veterans who live in the Front Range area. “I went on the first Rocky Mountain Honor Flight trip and I was hooked,”

World War ii veterans 16.1 million served in the military 400,000 died in combat 1.6 million were wounded 1 million veterans are still alive 800 to 1,000 pass away daily Haddon said. “Our list of volunteers and donors has grown, so we were able to continue to make flights. We try to do about four flights a year and, so far, we have been able to take about 500 veterans on our trips.” The honor flight program was created in 2005 in Springfield, Ohio. Rocky Mountain Honor Flight was established in 2007 and the first trip was the next year. The local organization is one of 105 hub flights working to take World War II veterans to Washington, D.C. “I believe all the honor flights are working to make as many trips as possible because our World War II veterans are aging and hundreds pass away each day,” she said. Rocky Mountain Honor Flight is a nonprofit organization. For more information about the organization and the flights, visit the website at www.rockymountainhonorflight.org.

opinions / yours and ours

Session over, where do we go now? The Colorado General Assembly’s 2013 session came to a close last week without the extra-innings drama of the previous year. No doubt, much was accomplished over the past four months by the Democrat-controlled Legislature, including approval of some high-profile pieces of legislation. Civil unions? Check. (Unlike last year, there would be no last-minute theatrics over a bill approving these.) Numerous gun-control measures? Check. Overhaul of Colorado’s election rules? Check. Mass frustration by Senate and House Republicans? Check.

our view A statement released by the Colorado Republican Party the day after the session’s end called it “the most divisive and partisan in the state’s history.” We’re not sure where to rank the session on the all-time list, but it certainly was both very divisive and very partisan. It also was very predictable. November’s elections ensured one-party control in Colorado. With a House, Senate and gover-

nor united, little could stand in the way of getting bills passed, controversial or not — a single vote from the other party or not. And while the session was not without some solid examples of bipartisan legislation, Democrats were prolific with their newfound power. “You may not agree with everything we’re doing, but you can’t say we’re not doing anything,” Democratic Rep. Dominick Moreno told Colorado Community Media legislative reporter Vic Vela in April. We’re not using this space to call out the Democratic Party. Republicans likely would also have taken full advantage of such a position. Democrats worked together and accomplished what they felt was right.

But one-party control in a state that is about as purple as it gets has us wondering if Colorado’s residents were best served by this past legislative session. On the state’s active voting rolls as of May 1 there were 915,793 Republicans, 875,926 Democrats and 862,050 unaffiliated voters. That’s not far from one-third each. Those figures make it tough to believe that either party’s platform can adequately represent the constituency as a whole. Clearly, consensus is elusive in Colorado, but if nothing else, the 2013 session was a test of the tastes of the hundreds of thousands of unaffiliated voters. Theirs is the critique that will matter most when they speak at the polls in 2014.

Making time for life’s What advice do you have most important things question of the week

for the graduates of 2013? Colorado Community Media surveyed four people at the Lone Tree Arts Center this week, among them business-

man Charles R. Schwab, about the advice they’d give today’s high school and college graduates.

“Develop passion about whatever they want to do in life. Employers want kids that are deeply passionate … That really means serving somebody and loving doing it.” — Charles R. Schwab, Woodside, Calif.

“Go out and fail. Take a chance. Take a risk. That’s when you learn the most. You’ll learn more from your failures than your successes.” — Larry Fullerton, Greenwood Village

“Absolutely follow your passion first. Second, pay attention to your world. We’re all much more connected … Third, always try to do the right thing. Don’t be motivated by power or greed.” — Charlene Sherwood, Denver

“Look to your community and your friends for opportunities. Douglas County is filled with opportunities and growth. Reach out to the types of employers within your area of passion.” — David Gardner, Parker

You can kiss my coffee table Today’s theme is euphemisms. We use them all the time, knowingly or not. “A euphemism is a generally innocuous word or expression used in place of one that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant,” says a Wikipedia entry. “Some euphemisms are intended to amuse, while others use bland, inoffensive, and often misleading terms for things the user wishes to dissimulate or downplay.” Well, you can kiss my coffee table. I use euphemisms all of the time that are not intended to mask something that is offensive or impolite, as you will see. What is a euphemism for “euphemism”? Beats me. The word comes from the Greek (Don’t they all?), meaning “the use of words of good omen.” How did we get from that to dissimulating unpleasantries? How many of you were given euphemisms as a child? Parents say the darndest things. Mine referred to One (of One and Two) as “dooty,” which phonetically is “duty.” When I heard my teacher say “It is your duty,” I wet my pants. W.C. Fields used to say “Mother of Pearl!” which always sounded like a profanity. He’d yell “Godfrey Daniel” when something went wrong. I’d name my kid Godfrey Daniel. In case you are wondering (I did), there are people named Godfrey Daniel and Godfrey Daniels. I’d like to meet their parents, to find out if it was an intentional choice coming from Fields. Most of the time we speak in predictable patterns, and it makes it very easy to finish someone’s sentences. Unless they are good with euphemisms, then you never know what to expect. “Go jump in a _______, you _______,” is a wide-open opportunity for a wordsmith. There’s something called reverse understatements (litotes). “He’s not very tall,”

really means “He’s a shrimp.” Using “challenged” is another way of speaking around an expression. A shrimp, then, is “vertically challenged.” Safer, but not very interesting. Wikipedia again: “Connotations easily change over time. ‘Idiot,’ ‘imbecile,’ and ‘moron’ were once neutral terms for a developmentally delayed adult with the mental age comparable to a toddler, preschooler, and primary school child, respectively.” Now we have “developmentally delayed.” Euphemisms became more and more common and mandatory the longer I taught. Words that I used in the 1970s were unacceptable 30 years later. It got tricky sometimes, because so many words have implications that they didn’t before. Golfers still have handicaps, but no one else does. Don’t even think about saying “crippled.” Our African art historian prohibited the use of the “primitive” to describe primitive art. I might not have passed her class. “Primitive” is offensive, my noodle salad. I would have written it over and over on her Godfrey Daniel final exam.

I heard the coolest story the other day so I thought I would share it with you all because I found it to be just so very meaningful and powerful. A very close friend of mine was attending church last Sunday and she shared with me the message that was delivered during the Mass by the deacon of the church. The deacon shared that every night at 6 in his home all the cell phones, televisions, and anything that would be considered an intrusion on their time is turned off and that he and his wife just talk for 90 minutes. They make time for each other; more importantly, it is uninterrupted time. I found myself questioning my own approach as I talk a lot about focusing on the important things in life, but this was a tactical approach that I thought I could abide by. As a matter of fact, a year or so ago someone else from the community shared with me that not just at 6 at night, but every Sunday is family time and that their entire family turns off their cell phones on Sunday as they spend time together. So why am I sharing this with you again now? Good question and thanks for asking. You see, in cleaning out my home recently I found a deck of cards with a score sheet folded under it. It was a score sheet that had a game that was only partially completed. My wife and I used to play cards or backgammon in the evenings and apparently the last time we played, we left the game unfinished, believing we would have time to get back to it one day. That day never came as unfortunately my wife lost her long battle to pancreatic cancer last month. Many of you in the community have been awesome supporters through prayers and well wishes. So I wanted to thank you

all for staying with us and for your compassion during the entire battle. More than that, I wanted to give you all the gift of remembering what is truly important and that is our relationships, whether they are romantic, family, or simply close personal friendships. Do you have a game in your own life that is left halfway finished? A conversation that needs to be completed? A feeling that should be shared or made abundantly clear? Do you regularly make time for those you hold the closest in life? Uninterrupted time, no televisions, no cell phones, or no outside interferences? The good news is that if you are reading this column, you can still make time for the important things in life … each other. Thank you again from my entire family. I am in awe of the community and appreciate you all so very much. I would love to hear all about how you make time for the most important things at gotonorton@ gmail.com because when you do, there is no doubt that it will be a better than good week.

Gavel comes down ? on 2013 Legislature

is ering d by te’s re On May 8, we ended the 2013 state ats not legislative session. There were bills on some difficult and complicated ve issues, yet we also did some signifiately cantly positive work. In total, we passed 441 bills (indo, cluding repeals). Below are more of as a my bills this session not yet covered ou- in my columns. Child protection • HB 13-1271, Child Abuse Reportr 014. ing Hotline and Training: Colorado ranks 17th highest in the nation for children experiencing abuse and neglect. HB 13-1271 is the ﬁrst step in creating a statewide child abuse reporting hotline system and consistent training practices to those answering calls. By making it easier for people to call, and with better training of hotline workers, this should help prevent child injury and death. • SB 13-255, Strengthening Child Fatality Reviews: This bill improves the process for analyzing child fatalities to identify potential improvements in protecting children. For the first time, we will have statewide consistent best practices with child fatality reviews in order to prevent child deaths. • SB 13-278 directs a task force to recommend a definition of a “drugendangered child” in the context of child abuse or neglect to assist child protection workers, family courts, and mandatory reporters in identifying and reporting situations that would be applicable.

Protection of domestic violence and sexual assault victims • HB 13-1259, Civil Protection Orders/Domestic Orders: This bill elevates safety as a primary concern in domestic relations cases involving children and strengthens the civil protection order process. The safety and well-being of abused children and parents should be of primary importance in any court. It also adds sexual assault to the definition of domestic violence for civil protection orders. Juvenile justice • HB 13-1254 expands the restorative justice program in Colorado, with the goal of keeping juveniles out of the juvenile justice system. Restorative justice emphasizes repairing the harm to the victim and community caused by criminal acts of juveniles and adults. This bill will increase the use of restorative justice practices, particularly facilitating victim-offender conferences, which are completely voluntary and have shown dramatic reductions in recidivism. Helping small businesses

• HB 13-1208 gives more ﬂexibility to the funding of creative districts in Colorado, allowing for small creative businesses to expand. Creative industries make up the fifth-largest employment sector in Colorado and positively affect the local economies and community cultures. Technology and cost savings • HB 13-1079, Joint Technology Committee: Over the years in state government, we have had successes and some major failures in our selection and implementation of IT systems, costing us literally millions of dollars. HB 1079 establishes the Joint Technology Committee, creating more effective oversight of the state IT systems to increase efficiency and cost savings. Increasing access to voting • HB 13-1147 creates an easy avenue for voter registration at public colleges. As students enroll for their classes, they will now be able to register to vote at the same time, while hopefully, beginning a life of civic engagement.

We’re with our patients, supporting loved ones or being with patients who have no one else.

Dems held the remote during Legislature show I’m about to take you to into a strange and highly unorganized place: my warped mind. It all starts with a recent conversation I had with a lobbyist at the Capitol about the correct pronunciation of the Latin-based “sine die.” It means “without day” and it’s typically used in conjunction with a governing body ending its work for a while — such as the case was last week with the adjournment of the 2013 General Assembly. The lobbyist pronounced sine die the way it looks on paper. “I think it’s like saying `sign,’ or `Seinfeld,’” he told me. That’s when I abruptly changed the subject to begin sharing some of my favorite “Seinfeld” moments, and to quote lines from classic episodes like “The Library” or “The Contest.” You see, I get distracted easily. I continued to think about the pronunciation of sine die, and, at the same time, how hilarious of a show “Seinfeld” was. And, after a while, I was certain that the lobbyist had it all wrong. You wanna know why? Because “Seinfeld” was endearingly dubbed a “show about nothing.” And, say what you will about this year’s legislative session, but it certainly was something. There, see. I warned you — warped mind. Only I could go from Latin phrases to “Seinfeld” episodes to a summary of the legislative session. But it kinda makes sense. You see, Democrats truly believe that this year’s session was a Show About Something. And their deﬁnition of the word “something” is a heck of a lot different from Republicans’. “There’s a lot of good that came out of this session,” said Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver. “I think we put some really positive public policy out there and I think the people of Colorado are going to look back at this session and just be amazed at all the things we found the time to do.”

So the Democrats are happy. For them, the session was about sunshine and puppy dog tails. As for the Republicans, not so much. “They charged hard to the left and stayed there the entire session,” said Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, of the Democrat agenda. I know what you’re thinking right now. You’re thinking, `Hey, wait a second, Vic. You mean to tell me that Democrats and Republicans disagreed on how this year’s legislative session turned out?’” Yep. Shocking, ain’t it? Democrats feel like they hit the jackpot this session, by passing a host of major pieces of legislation: civil unions, education reform, election reform, in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants and gun control, just to name a few. Seriously. If there was such a thing as Democratic bingo, the entire card would be full of little dauber-stained dots. “Any one of these things by themselves would have been historic and epic, frankly, in a session,” said Senate Majority Leader Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora. “And we did. One after the other, after the other.” Hmm. But did they do too much? Republicans sure think so. They think Democrats will rue the day that they tried to push such a progressive agenda on the voters. Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, mocked the Democrats’ legislative efforts on job creation. He said the Democrats proved they’re a party that’s beholden

to unions and their efforts hurt small businesses. “This agenda is punishing people in Colorado,” Cadman said. McNulty agrees. “The Democrats have clearly shown that they are very liberal,” he said. “Colorado voters are not going to reward them for that.” But Democrats are making no apologies. They also believe that Republicans didn’t do much of anything, except to complain and say no to just about everything throughout the 120day session. That’s not what the voters wanted this session, Carroll said. “We would rather be criticized for tackling too many of Colorado’s problems, than not enough,” Carroll said. So, there ya have it. A legislative session that spanned five months, with reaction that can be summed up as: Democrats good; Republicans bad. And vice versa. Who would’ve thunk it, right? Or, maybe the session could be summed up as being a really long, and not nearly as funny, “Seinfeld” episode. Think about it. Whenever Democrats did something controversial, Republicans would bemoan with a “Newman!”-like expression. And, when Republicans complained about Democratic overreach, Democrats like Carroll would respond with an Elaine Benes-like shove to the chest, and a hearty “Get out!” There was one episode where Kramer started the show by pretending to do a stand-up comedy routine, a la Jerry Seinfeld. “What’s the deal with politics?” Kramer said. “Am I right, people? I don’t get it.” I think Kramer might be on to something there. Hmm. Maybe it’s pronounced SINE-DIE after all. Just like “Seinfeld.” Vic Vela is the legislative reporter for Colorado Community Media.

When former Bronco Bucky Dilts came to the end of a long road of tribulations that included the loss of two family members to suicide, he decided to go public with his story. Questioning his skills as a public speaker, he heeded advice that proved wise. Dilts was the keynote speaker May 10 at the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network benefit luncheon. Before a packed crowd, he stepped up to the lectern to “just tell his story” about his experience with mental illness. His story held the crowd rapt. Dilts joined the NFL in 1977 as a punter with the Denver Broncos, leaving the league after three years to launch a career in sales. His first brush with depression came in 1984, with the suicide of his 28-year-old sister. Twelve years later, suicide touched his life again when Dilts and his wife received news that his mother-in-law took her own life.

Photo by Rhonda Moore The personal crises continued in 2000, when Dilts lost his wife to divorce after 20 years of marriage. At the time, it was his darkest hour. He isolated himself from friends and family, went through four jobs in six years and began to entertain dark thoughts of his own. “I couldn’t do anything,” Dilts said. “I was just about thinking about suicide. I was almost there.” In 2004, Dilts’s ex-wife was diagnosed with Stage IV cervical cancer. She did not want to tell the couple’s two children, who would not know they were losing their mother until about two months before her 2006 death. In the wake of her death,

“What it means that pilots would then have to coordinate takeoffs and landings and amongst each other, and that’s not the safest environment in a busy airspace with jet traffic.” The decision on the midnight shifts was separate from other actions the FAA has been considering as to obtain pets from shelters and rescues, than from other places where pets can be adopted or purchased. At times, legislative committee hearing testimony, and debate inside the House and Senate, resulted

Dilts threw himself into the task of raising his children, until his world was derailed again. In 2008 Dilts got his own diagnosis — prostate cancer. “It really got to me,” he said. “But it gave me an opportunity to talk about things people don’t want to talk about and it led me to this.” After Dilts successfully fought his cancer, he embarked on a speaking career to address the stigma of suicide and the effects of depression. He ran into some resistance among family members who didn’t want him to expose his family’s experience, showcasing the stigma he says ranks among the greatest treatment challenges.

part of the federal budget sequestration, the government’s mandated efforts to cut spending that began March 1. In March, four Colorado airport towers were on the FAA’s hit list; Broomfield and Front Range were designated for closure, and Centennial and Colorado in lengthy discussions. Democratic Sen. Andy Kerr of Lakewood, a bill sponsor, who brought his young son and his dog to the event, joked about the contentious nature of the legislation. Just before Kerr was about to speak, playful dogs behind the podium got their leashes tangled up, which caused the Colorado state flag to tip over. “Next time somebody brings me a bill and says this is a nice, easy little bill ...” quipped Kerr. “It’s kind

The network serves Th residents of Arapahoe andsince Douglas counties with freegram and reduced-cost mentaldard health treatment in Little- Ei ton, Englewood, Parker andficien Castle Rock. perce The network launchedscho a Mental Health First Aid course to teach people how to recognize signs of mental illness in hopes of reducing the number of suicides in Colorado. The number of suicides through April in Douglas County was 25, compared with 14 at the same time in 2012, according to the Douglas County Coroner’s Office. “Every 15 minutes someone in the United States dies by suicide,” said Joan DiMaria, executive director of the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network. “We can and we will end that.” For more information about the Mental Health First Aid course or to find a treatment center near you, visit admhn.org or call 303730-8858.

Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood, also a sponsor of Senate Bill 201, said the challenges that surrounded the legislation were worth it, in the end. “These are our most vulnerable animals, who need homes,” she said. “And it’s about bringing awareness and the importance of adopting animals.”

Third-graders strut their reading stuff Littleton district still outpacing state By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Littleton Public Schools third-graders outpaced the state average on this year’s Transitional Colorado Assessment Program reading test by 13 percentage points. “We are very proud that our third-grade reading scores continue to be so high,” said Scott Murphy, LPS superintendent. “These scores are a clear reflection of the dedication our students, parents, teachers and principals have to helping each student achieve at a high level. We are always looking to improve, and these tests help us pinpoint areas that need more attention.” This is the second year the TCAP has been administered since it replaced the Colorado Student Assessment Program, or CSAP. It’s bridging the gap until new state standards are fully established. Eighty-six percent of all LPS third-graders scored proficient or advanced on this year’s test, compared with 73 percent at the state level. Gains were made in six of the 15 schools.

“LPS has initiated a strong focus on literacy at the elementary level,” reads a press release accompanying the

scores. “The five elementary schools serving students with the greatest needs have had five years of intensive literacy training and intervention; other elementary schools have had a literacy focus for three or four years. As a result, overall LPS third-grade reading scores have steadily increased or remained very high.” Five elementary schools have more than 90 percent of kids reading at a proficient or above: Littleton Academy charter school (98), Franklin (96), Wilder (95), Lenski (94) and Sandburg (92). Coming in at less than the state average number of proficient and above readers are East (68) and Field (62). Building on last year’s 7 percent increase in the number of students with disabilities who scored proficient and advanced, this year showed an additional 3 percent increase for a total of 10 percent over two years. English-language learners performed better overall this year than last.

Schwab breaks ground in Lone Tree Founder says campus will boost company By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Charles Schwab credits the success of his Fortune 500 company to the quality of his employees. Their well-being is a driving force toward construction of the $230 million Lone Tree corporate campus that officially broke ground May 10. “Our company really is nothing without really happy employees,” Schwab said in a brief speech at the Lone Tree Arts Center. “Denver is such a fantastic environment to live (and) provides the well-educated employees we love to attract to our company. By being here, this will give us a better edge.” The 75-year-old Schwab started the San Francisco-based company 40 years ago with four employees. It now employs nearly 15,000 people and serves 8.2-million client brokerage accounts. Off-stage, Schwab didn’t rule out the prospect of someday making Lone Tree its global headquarters. “As we get this campus developed, we will consider all options,” he said. Schwab spoke from the arts center’s stage along with Gov. John Hickenlooper, Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella, Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning and Schwab Senior Vice President Brian McDonald. The Charles Schwab Corporation’s 2,200 metro-area employees, now spread among three sites, will move into their new home in late 2014. Schwab credited Lone Tree for its part in bringing the project to life.

“I just want to thank all the people who with Godspeed put this whole thing together,” he said. “You did an incredible yeoman’s job to make this all happen.” McDonald said Schwab plans to become part of Lone Tree, and already is pondering a relationship with the Lone Tree Arts Center for potential use of the company’s oncampus amphitheater. “We feel like we’re moving out of a business complex and into a community,” McDonald said. “We’re committed to being a great neighbor.” Hickenlooper said Schwab is a natural fit for Colorado. “I love to hear Charles Schwab say `campus’ because the one thing campus says to me is expansion,” he said. “I can’t imagine a better company that ties in with our identity and what we’re trying to be.” The state gave Schwab a financial nudge in its decision to build the campus. In exchange for the creation of 480 new jobs in the next five years, Schwab will receive tax credits from Colorado’s Job Growth Incentive Tax Credit. Those jobs will have a “$500 million a year direct and indirect economic impact,” Repella said. “Those are the numbers that help residents prosper.” The featured speakers and dozens of invited guests then converged outside the arts center for a ceremonial groundbreaking. Sunshine glinting off the silver tips of their shovels, 11 local and state officials lifted scoops of rain-soaked dirt. Construction on the first phase of the two-part, 52-acre project at Lincoln Avenue and Park Meadows Boulevard already is under way. It includes two five-story office buildings, a parking garage, amphitheater and retail branch building. A third five-

Streambed stabilization work planned Big Dry Creek is site of multiple channel projects By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com The Highlands Ranch Metro District is embarking on four channel stabilization projects, three in different areas of Big Dry Creek and one at Dad Clark Gulch. The four projects, which will cost the district a total of $921,600, will keep water quality standards on par with requirements

set by the Colorado Department Of Public Health and Environment. “We realize the open space is a huge amenity in our community and we want to be able to protect it as much as we can,” said Forrest Dykstra, HRMD manager of development engineering, who has been overseeing district stabilization projects for 15 years. “Erosion can move upstream about 100 feet in just a few short months.” Dykstra said while there are numerous stabilization projects they would like to work on, due to financial limitations they have to pick and choose, and the ones that

threaten park space, culverts, sewer lines and water lines take top priority even if the amount of erosion is not as severe as elsewhere. “In all the soil types we have in this area, the constant flow of water will result in erosion if the channel is steeper than 1 percent,” said Public Works Director Jeff Case. Being a community with steep topography means the district is constantly at work on such projects, he explained. In order to correct the issue of erosion, a stair-step effect is created through the placement of boulders, special concrete, or other organic materials that allow the water to cascade in a more controlled way.

The projects are: • Big Dry Creek: Adjacent to Cheese Ranch Park. Study just began and will conclude mid-summer with construction spanning from 2014-2015. • East Big Dry Creek: East of Quebec Street. Study concluded, project to begin and end this summer. • West Big Dry Creek: North of Cresthill Lane. Study underway and work planned to begin in the fall and to be completed in 2014. • Dad Clark Gulch: The future Historic Park by the Highlands Ranch Mansion. Sixmonth project planned to begin in the fall and finish up in late winter, early spring.

REAL ESTATE CAREERS MARKETPLACE SERVICE DIRECTORY

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? Matt Kuchar, GRI, CDPE, FIS How long have you worked in Real Estate? I started selling Manufactured Homes to retirees in I enjoy fixing up and improving my house. Sounds weird Realtor®

Orlando Florida back in 1990. In 2000, I began my real estate career at Century 21 in Fort Myers until I opened my own brokerage in 2002.

303-710-3810 matt@calldenverhome.com www.CallDenverHome.com

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? I specialize in listing and selling residential homes and condominiums. A specific skill set is needed to assist seller in preparing their homes for sale and presenting them in a way that maximizes their return.

Where were you born? I was born in Saginaw, Michigan How long have you lived in the area? My family and I moved to Colorado from Ft. Myers Florida in June of 2006

What is the most challenging part of what you do? The most challenging part of real estate comes when dealing with multiple offer scenarios from both the selling and buying side of a transaction. There may be many that want the property but only one person is going to get it. The other interested parties are going to be disappointed.

What do you like most about it? I love the laid back attitude of the people in Colorado. The mountains are fantastic and weather constantly changes. However, the way people here take the time to enjoy life and spend time outdoors and with one another is a source of constant encouragement.

but I get a lot of satisfaction from that.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? Hire an agent that is familiar with the area that you live in and has a good success rate in that area – listen to their advice. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Get all of your financial matters in order with the mortgage company prior to looking at homes. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? Most recently, I showed a home with a room in the basement that had several locks on the door and fluorescent lights coming from underneath the door. I don’t think they were preparing tomatoes for spring planting.

HOME INSPECTIONS John Kokish Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C. Attorneys At Law 380 Perry St., #220 Castle Rock, CO 80104 (303) 688-3535 jkokish@kgattys.com

ou have just signed a contract to make the largest purchase that you probably will ever make in your lifetime - a home. Not only is it wise to understand the details of the purchase contract, but it is also important to understand potential problems you may be facing in the home itself. That is what home inspections are all about. Theoretically, you can inspect a home yourself. However, when you purchase a home, the average buyer looks for reasons to buy it and not for problems the home might have. That is why an unbiased home inspector, who will cost you somewhere between $250-$500 depending on the size of the home, is almost mandatory in any home purchse. In Colorado, home inspectors

do naot have any licensing requirements. Most home inspectors enroll in a course that teaches them what to look for. However, because there is no state test in Colorado, an inspector who graduates from an authorized course can begin inspecting homes right away. Therefore, you should always inquire how many homes the inspector that you are planning to hire has inspected so that you are not getting a rookie. It is also important to know that most contracts required by home inspectors in Colorado limit their liability in the event they fail to disclose serious defects. That means if the inspector fails to notice a serious mold condition that may require up to several thousand dollars worth of remediation, the most you can expect to collect against him in a suit is the amount that you paid him for the inspection. The main things the inspector will look for in reviewing the condition of the home is the heating system, plumbing, electrical system, and central air conditioning system, as well as the roof, attic, visible insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, foundation, basement, landscaping and visible structure. Most inspectors will also offer you additional services such as radon testing, water testing and termite in-

spection, all at an extra but minimal charge. The standard Colorado real estate purchase contract allows a buyer to require the seller to remedy unsatisfactory conditions, adjust the purchase price or terminate the contract. In fact, the inspection clause allows the buyer a complete escape from the purchase contract for any reason or no reason at all. It is one of several escape clauses in the contract that sellers should be aware of when taking their homes off the market. If a buyer is acting in good faith, he will provide for an early inspection in the contract so that he can exercise the clause early if need be to allow the seller to put the house back on the market. A seller should be wary of buyers who leave the inspection too far down the road, especially in the high selling season. Responsible real estate brokers representing buyers will call for an early inspection so that their buyer can get an early estimate of what corrections, if any, the home needs. In any case, a home inspection is a must for a buyer and is even a good idea for an individual that is not selling his or her home to just get an independent opinion if there are any issues in the home that need immediate correction. n

Museum shares powerful photos

Littleton sculptor Kim Kaminsky polishes a “Wagon Wheel” sculpture, commissioned by the Littleton Fine Arts Board for Main Street. Courtesy photos

Sculptures installed on Main Street Bike racks funded by donations from tours By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Walk, bicycle or drive along Main Street in downtown Littleton, and you can see 12 “Wagon Wheels” and 12 “Mountains and Peaks.” Created of steel and bronze, they are new sculptures designed to serve as bike racks, commissioned by Littleton’s Fine Arts Board and bolted in place on May 4. Funds for the works came through a donation from John Brackney and Brian Vogt — proceeds from the “Haunted Littleton” walking tours the two conducted each Halloween season for a number of years. They have wanted to donate to a downtown Littleton project. The Littleton Fine Art Board posted a call to artists on Café, an online program used to advertise calls for artists and entry forms to shows. Several responses included those from Kim Kaminsky of Littleton and Montrose artist Caleb Kullman, who were present May 4 to unveil sample pieces at the west end of Main Street. Kullman’s is in front of Bradford Auto Body and Kaminsky’s is at the newly finished Market Place across the street. Both are fabricated in a kind of steel that will weather well to a rust-colored patina. Others are on both sides of Main Street. Polished bronze relief plates are in the center of each Wagon Wheel. They have one of two images: “Littleton Today” shows a festive Western Welcome Week on Main Street, with the old Carnegie Library (Melting Pot). “Littleton Past,” with an agricultural motif, includes wheat, fields, train tracks and the old depot. The wheels were cast in sand molds, then cleaned, polished and welded together. The bronze plates were hand-sculpted and cast in bronze, using the lost wax process, then attached to the wheels, which are bolted to the concrete. Kaminsky, who lives in Littleton with her husband and two daughters, grew up in Chicago and started her interest in art early. She has a BFA in art from Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., and an MFA from Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts. The family moved to Littleton in 2008, where she was able to build a light, airy studio in her back yard — a place to work and to hold children’s art classes.

History Colorado kicks off a summer of exploration of local and national military history at the History Colorado Center, 1200 Broadway, with the opening of “The American Soldier: A Photographic Tribute” on May 25, continuing through Sept. 2. This national traveling exhibition features 116 enlarged photographs that capture images of American soldiers, beginning on the Civil War battlefields in 1861 when the new medium of photography first documented the grim realities of war, to the war in Iraq. “Spanning nine wars, I’ve often wondered what the exhibition photographs have in common,” said exhibition curator Cyma Rubin. “These photographs have power. They have an ability to reach people ... each image has a life of its own.” For complete information, go to www. historycolorado.org.

Drew crew

Comedy Works South at the Landmark has landed a big fish: Television personality/actor Drew Carey will perform there on June 21 and 22. Show times are at 7:15 and 9:45 p.m. both days. Ticket prices are $26 per person. Advance tickets are available by calling 720-274-6800 or online at www.comedyworks.com.

Makes cents

Montrose artist Caleb Kullman presents his “Mountains and Peaks” sculpture on May 4.

Caleb Kullman graduated from Reed College in Oregon with a degree in anthropology, where he was first exposed to blacksmithing. He says he learned to think independently at Reed and have confidence in his ability to teach himself new things. He next learned the craft of farriery — horseshoeing — in Tucumcari, N.M., and began a practice, which paid living expenses while he increased his skill with iron. In New Mexico, he attended Frank Turley’s basic blacksmithing class in Santa Fe and visited the studio of Tom Joyce, where he saw beautifully crafted iron pieces. A Fulbright scholarship in 2002 led him to study with Yoruba blacksmiths in Nige-

ria for eight months, followed by classes at Penland School of Crafts and Haystack School of Crafts. In 2006, he moved to Montrose, where he has a downtown studio with three forging stations, modern fabricating equipment and machine tools. He says he uses traditional techniques to create pieces for today’s architecture. Fine Arts Board members are appointed by the Littleton City Council and are volunteers. Members are Jerry Clapsaddle, Jim Dickson, Kathleen Eckel, Kelly Strohman, Sarah Trujillo, Val Watson and Chairwoman Denise Weed. They represent all four council districts.

Quarters for Kids, the annual event founded by Tammy and the late Noel Cunningham, will continue holding its annual fundraising campaign despite the recent closure of Strings restaurant. Viewhouse Eatery, Bar & Rooftop, a new venture for Lotus Concepts at 2015 Market St., has stepped into the Cunninghams’ sizable shoes to acknowledge the fundraising efforts and honor the children with a private breakfast on May 10. Quarters for Kids is a school-based program where students raise quarters to help provide breakfast for residents at the Volunteers of America Brandon Center for Battered and Homeless Women and their children. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock will recognize the efforts of area students, KOSI-101 radio personality Murphy Huston will emcee the event and Denver Nuggets mascot Rocky will entertain the students. According to VOA legend, 22 years ago Noel discovered — after talking to VOA’s Jim White — that the cost to feed breakfast to a child living in one of Denver’s home shelters was 25 cents. The idea that such a small amount of change could make such a difference motivated Noel to start the Quarters for Kids campaign. While this year’s campaign ended in April, schools and students can plan to participate next April. For more information, go to www.voacolorado.org.

More Dish on Oprah

When I wrote two weeks ago that an inside source had “dished” about Oprah Winfrey’s upcoming appearance at the Denver-based satellite company Dish Network’s annual retailer convention in San Antonio this month and had made diva-like demands, John Hall with Dish corporate communications took exception to what the insider told me. Here’s what Hall had to say: “Oprah Winfrey graciously accepted our invitaParker continues on Page 21

Progenitor delivers writing, art ACC publication has theme of fire, regrowth By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com Pro-gen-i-tor: 1. A person or thing from which a person, animal, or plant is descended or originates; an ancestor or parent. 2. A person who originates an artistic, political, or intellectual movement. Definitions and a bit of history fill the front page of Arapahoe Community College’s Art and Literary Journal, Progenitor 2013, which was presented on April 30 at an event in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts. The name is from the school motto, “Progenitories Sumas” — “We are the ancestors.” It refers to responsibility to coming generations. An award winner in college media, produced every spring since 1967, the handsome current volume’s cover is “Fired Sun,” a photo by writer/photographer Stacia Duvall, depicting a contorted skeleton of a tree against a blood-red sunset. It was taken in

Littleton on the night the Lower North Fork Fire began, Duvall said. Stories, essays and poetry range from whimsical to dark and include winners in the 2012 ACC Literary Contest, submitted by writers throughout the state. The art includes winners in the ACC Fine Art Juried Competition. (The 2013 Literary Contest winners were just announced. See the Writer’s Studio website.) The staff for the journal, the Literary Magazine Production class, overseen by Writers Studio director Kathryn Winograd, included Editor Joshua P. Sullivan; Assistant Editor Holly Huner, Arts and Photography Editor Jason Colbourne; Poetry Editor Lydia Farrar; Fiction Editor Kathryn Peterson; Non-Fiction Editor Juanita Pope; Creative Director Mollie Rue; Studio ACC’s Brian Wright and staff member Josh Olson. Adviser in addition to Winograd was John Hall, Multimedia and Graphic Design faculty at ACC. The staff’s statement about assembling the journal refers to a theme of fire and re-growth, which follows last year’s investigation of water.

The staff interviewed Dr. Tony Cheng, forestry professor at Colorado State University, where they talked of regrowth after fires and formed parallel thinking about Progenitor contributors. “Each contributor displays a strong fiery ambition, fueling personal growth in the natural cycle of being an artist … fires of life can jolt artists into digging deeper into themselves and their life experiences, releasing the energy stockpiled and sometimes locked up in psyche, heart and mind …” says a summary statement. Writers explore a fear of flying, cancer, fighting sisters, teen and Harlem dancers, a long-running town feud and a poetic response to early flight theories of Bartolomeu de Gusmao, plus other trains of thought It is available at ACC and online: www.arapahoe.edu/progenitor-online/2013/.

The cover for the 2013 Progenitor is in keeping with the theme of fire and renewal. The photograph, “Fired Son,” is by Stacia Duval. Courtesy photo

Australian singers’ show at PACE Center likely to sell out By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Air Supply — Australians Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock — will play a May 30 date at Parker’s PACE Center to what will likely be a sold-out crowd. (A few tickets remained when we spoke with center director Elaine Mariner last week.) Area audiences have especially responded to musical programs in a variety of styles since the PACE Center opened, she said. Other sell-outs Mariner listed include The Vienna Boys Choir in November 2011, soon after the venue opened; and the Parker Symphony Orchestra/Parker Chorale Holiday Shows in 2011 and 2012. A New Year’s Eve celebration sold out in October. In 2012, Celtic Nights, Natalie McMaster, Stunt Dogs, “Fiddler on the Roof,” Colorado Symphony Orchestra’s Drums of the World, the John Denver tribute and “A Christmas Carol” were also sell-outs. Russell and Hitchcock met when both were in a production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” in Sydney. After the shows, they would perform together in coffee houses and nightclubs, sing-

if you go Air Supply, Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock, will perform at 7:30 p.m. May 30 at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave. in downtown Parker. Tickets: $45, $55, $65: 303805-6800, PACEcenteronline.org.

Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell, Air Supply, will perform at the PACE Center in Parker on May 30.Courtesy photo ing Graham Russell’s original songs. With their smooth harmonies, they eventually landed a recording contract and had a No. 1 single on national charts. Russell writes songs and plays guitar, paired with Hitchcock’s tenor voice. Their song “Lost in Love” connected them with Clive Davis, a music industry executive who signed them to Arista Records. “Lost in Love” became the world’s fastestselling single and they followed it with ”All Out of Love.” Top-selling albums followed and the pair has toured the world for many years since, sometime with other band mates. Their newest release, “Air Supply Live,” was recorded in Israel and is available at Air Supply shows and online. In 2011, they were still performing 150 shows a year. Air Supply performs at 7:30 p.m. May 30. Tickets, on sale since late January, cost $45, $55 and $65. Visit PACEcenteronline.org or call 303-805-6600.

Creek girls retain state tennis title Bruins capture 17th consecutive 5A crown By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Cherry Creek again successfully defended it Class 5A girls tennis championship, defeating Fossil Ridge 67-46 for the team title. It marks the 17th year in a row the Bruins have won the state crown. The standings were closer going into the finals with three head-to-head BruinsSabercats battles at No. 1, 2 and 3 doubles. Cherry Creek’s No. 1 doubles team of Madeleine Bernstein and Julie Berlinger and the No. 2 doubles team of Morgan Cohen and Mia Hoover won their matches, plus Gloria Son won the No. 2 singles title to ice the Bruins’ bid to retain the state team championship. Cherry Creek also strengthened its hold on first place as the No. 3 doubles team finished second, the No 3 singles player finished third and the No. 4 doubles team finished fourth. After winning her finals match, 7-5, 6-1, Son was relaxing but took time to talk about her victory. “Today was amazing and winning state was the greatest feeling ever,” Son said about her play in the finals. “I was very nervous early when I saw all the people watching our finals match and I fell behind 5-3 in the first set. I told my coach I was determined to win this match. I got it together, focused mentally and physically so I was able to win in straight sets.” The freshman was undefeated in 5A competition this season. She said she has been playing tennis since she was about 6. She also said she feels one of her strengths is playing an aggressive style and coming to the net. Tennis is her only sport, but she said the coach works with her on conditioning so she will have the stamina to play her best even in a tough, three-set match. Cherry Creek’s girls tennis program has accurately been called amazing, winning 17 straight state team championships. Coach Chris Jacob said depth is a major strength of the team.

Arapahoe High School’s Callie Nicoulin returns a shot as she and doubles partner Lauren Myers play in the Class 5A state tennis tournament. They won the No. 4 doubles state championship.

Cherry Creek’s Madeleine Bernstein and Julie Berlinger hug after their three-set win over Fossil Ridge in the state Class 5 A No. 1 doubles final. The Bruins duo won in three sets. Photos by Tom Munds “We had 161 girls come out for tennis this season,” she said. “We have six coaches on the staff and we try to have things organized so every girl is on the court four or five days a week.” A tennis team is made up of three singles players and four doubles teams. The coach said a big part of the program is vying for spots on the rosters of the Bruins’ two varsity and three junior varsity teams. “The system allows anyone to challenge for a spot on one of our teams,” Jacob said. “Of course, computers help a lot keeping track of all the competition. We also have a seeding ladder and encourage players to challenge players above them on the ladder because our goal is to have every player on the court in a match against another team, a challenge match or at practice four or five times a week.” She said there are a lot of strong teams so she knew state would be tough. “There was no team that dominated the field this season,” she said. “It seemed every team had good players on the roster, so we knew it would be challenging to successfully defend our state title again.” Jacob said tennis is the primary and, in most cases, the only sport most of the members of the Bruins girls team play. “We are fortunate we have three very nice indoor tennis facilities nearby so most of the girls on our team can play tennis all year,” the coach said. “We have five seniors on this year’s team, so we’ll have a good group coming back to help us next season.” Two other schools in the area, Arapahoe and Heritage, had some success at the state tournament. Arapahoe High School finished fifth

Rachael Scheper, Cherry Creek’s No. 3 singles player, returns a serve in the state semifinal match against Fairview. Scheper lost the match but came back to capture third place. as the team of Callie Nicoulin and Lauren Meyers won the No. 4 doubles state championship, and teammate Tate Schroeder lost a tough three-set match to finish fourth at No. 1 singles. The Heritage team had its best season in several years as the Eagles’ No. 2 doubles team of Amy Farmer and Ginny Hancock took third and the No. 4 doubles team of Erin Myles and Caroline McLeod finished fourth.

“This has been a pretty good season for our team,” Eagles coach Kristy Brethauer said. “We had all our players qualify for state for the first time in a while, plus we had some girls place at state.” She said the team should be pretty good next year as they only have four seniors on varsity. She added the team was young as far as experience was concerned because several players were new to varsity competition.

Cherry Creek advances in 5A baseball Bruins best Castle View and Ralston Valley in district playoffs By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Cherry Creek won both ends of the May 11 district doubleheader, edging Castle View 6-3 and besting Ralston Valley 13-0 to advance to the next level of the state Class 5A playoffs. Districts ended the season for both Castle View and Ralston Valley. Cherry Creek moves on the first round of the state playoffs May 17 against Grandview. Before the May 11 games, Bruins coach Marc Johnson said he was concerned about the district playoffs. Cherry Creek faced Castle View in the first game. The Sabercats came into the playoffs with an 8-11 record while the Bruins were 17-2. “We are healthy but records don’t mean a lot in the playoffs and we play the games because anything can happen,” he said. “Districts are challenging because

Atwood to the mound. Atwood threw well early and the game was tied 1-1 going into the home half

of the fourth inning. However, the Bruins got the bats going and pushed five runs

across the plate. Castle View tried to get a rally going in the sixth and scored twice but never got any closer. Ben Dalke had a solo homer while teammates Tony Favilla and Tyler Solis each drove in a run. Ralston Valley won its opener over Fort Collins 4-0 and faced the Bruins in the district finals. Cherry Creek broke the scoreless tie in the bottom of the second and put the game out of reach with 11 runs in the bottom of the third inning. The scoring outbreak included a home run by Derik Beaupres. Dyllin Mucha and Jax Griffin each had two-run doubles. Griffin was on the mound for Cherry Creek. He struck out four and gave up only four hits in five scoreless innings. He also helped his own cause as he had a home run, a double and led the team in RBIs with four. The senior said he based all his pitches off his fastball. “Today, as long as I got my fastball in the zone for strikes, I could throw other pitches to fool the hitters,” he said after the season. “That was my fifth home run and it helped strengthen my confidence as we go to state.”

Class 4A state tourney set for Broken Tee By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Valor Christian girls golf coach Scotty Hofer hopes his team can take a couple more steps forward during the Class 4A State High School Girls Golf Tournament. The tournament will be played May 20-21 at the 5,820yard, par 72 Broken Tee Golf Club in Englewood, which just happens to be the Eagles’ home course. Valor won the Metro-West regional qualifying tournament May 7 at Fox Hollow with a 234 total. “We won the regional so our whole team qualified,” said Hofer. “I feel we have a very good chance. We just have to perform the way we are capable of and I think we can win the state championship. “We’ve been coming on the past few years. We placed fourth two years ago and placed third last year. In the past Regis has been a very strong 4A school, but they chose to go 5A this year.” Hofer knows gaining two spots from last year’s finish will not be easy. “There is still good competition that we are expecting from Cheyenne Mountain and Montrose,” he said. “Those are the teams I know about. And I really don’t know about Montrose because they are from the Western Slope and you don’t hear about them.” Tori Glenn and Andrea Ballou paced the Eagles in the regional championship with scores of 77. Sarah Belmear finished with an 80 and Laura Cohan carded an 88. Only the top three scores count in the team standings, as Valor outdistanced Golden by 10 strokes. “We’ll have a team of four this year,” said Hofer. “Two years ago we had three golfers. Each day just three scores count, but that first day you don’t want to put yourself behind the eight ball. You want to be consistent each day.” Hofer doesn’t feel playing at Broken Tee will be all that much of an advantage for the Eagles. “People might think it is our home course,” he said. “We have all our practices there but we really haven’t really played the course that much. We’ve played a few times, the front nine for sure. With the bad weather we have had, we really haven’t got on the course. We plan to do that.”

5A tournament

The Class 5A state tournament will be held May 20-21 at Tiara Rado in Grand Junction. Defending champion Cherry Creek, Arapahoe and Fairview, the schools that finished one-two-three last season, are expected to be among the teams contenting for the team title. Arapahoe’s Hannah Wood and Calli Ringsby of Cherry Creek head a long list of golfers who could win the individual state title, and Creek’s MacKenzie Cohen, who was the surprise 2012 state tournament medalist, can’t be overlooked.
