Urban renewal authority gets OK Castle Rock paves way for developers By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com The Town of Castle Rock approved an urban renewal authority, opening the door to property owners interested in new development. Councilmembers on May 7 voted unanimously to approve the authority, designed to trigger economic development in Castle Rock. Formation of an urban renewal au-

thority is the first step in a process in which property owners can request a declaration that a property is blighted, and therefore eligible for an urban renewal area and plan. If approved, a proposed urban renewal area and its accompanying plan could qualify for tax increment financing. Tax increment financing allows the authority to collect the additional property taxes generated from improvements made on the property, and to use that money to pay for a portion of those improvements. Supporters of the URA measure called it a tool for triggering economic development in Castle Rock.

Detractors called it another layer of government that gives developers an unfair market advantage. The proof will lie in the structure of deals that remain to be seen, said Mark Stevens, town manager. “You can have all the Gray radical arguments you want … but the only real way to get at that is to have a project, run it past council, run it past the urban renewal authority and make a decision based on the merits of that proposal,” Stevens said. “I

don’t know how you could debate the merits of possible proposals unless you do the work.” Stevens worked with Castle Rock’s economic development council to research the possibility of a URA as an option to address the town’s shortage of commercial and industrial space. The council in 2012 pointed out the town is losing businesses to other municipalities because Castle Rock has run out of options for development. Frank Gray, president of the economic development council, said the land is availRenewal continues on Page 17

Firefighters practice rope rescues Agencies heed lessons of Castlewood Canyon By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com

Shawn Schaffner, a firefighter/paramedic with the Larkspur Fire Protection District, observed a lesson in knot-tying during a multi-agency rope rescue training.

A Christmas Day rescue, which called on a team of 20, prompted local fire agencies to boost their training on steep-terrain rope rescues. Castle Rock Fire and Rescue joined agencies from Elizabeth, Franktown and Larkspur on May 7 to hone their skills on climbing cliffs such as those in Castlewood Canyon State Park. Castlewood Canyon was the site of a Christmas 2012 rescue that required the help of Douglas County’s search and rescue team. The team was joined by Franktown firefighters to rescue a 20-year-old man who had fallen about 50 feet when he slipped near the park waterfalls. While the man was brought to safety Rescue continues on Page 17

Castle Rock Town Council became the latest water provider to sign on to the Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency agreement, joining the WISE partnership with a unanimous vote of approval. The partnership is made up of 10 water providers from Douglas and Arapahoe counties that are members of the South Metro Water Supply Authority. The WISE partnership has negotiated a long-term purchase agreement to buy renewable water from the cities of Denver and Aurora. Castle Rock joined the WISE partnership on May 7 with a commitment to buy 1,000 acre-feet of water per year. The WISE partners include Castle Rock, Centennial Water and Sanitation, and the Parker, Dominion and additional water and sanitation or metropolitan districts. The WISE agreement commits the partners to purchase 70,000 acre-feet of water over a 10-year period, or an average of 7,000 acre-feet of water each year. The Parker Water and Sanitation District on May 23 is expected to vote on the matter, said Mark Stevens, Castle Rock town manager. “This is a historic moment for the town,” said Mark Marlowe, Castle Rock utilities director. “It is securing our long-term renewable water. Any renewable water project that brings water from outside of town is Water continues on Page 17

May 16, 2013

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-and15-minute drive to the Sunday market in Highlands Ranch. He stands next to his white truck, watching the market unfold, an everpresent 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 Walmartization 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. You’ll find farmers markets listed at www. coloradofarmers.org. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

Douglas County High sees giving grads go Class of 2013 put community first

Six am

By Rhonda Moore rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County High School Principal Tony Kappas always has a soft spot for his graduating seniors, but the class of 2013 holds a special place in his heart. This year’s graduates stands out as one of the most “unselfish” group of seniors Kappas has known for some time, he said. “This is a group very active with community service and service learning,” Kappas said. “They’re very caring, very unselfish, they have huge hearts. They’re just very special.” The Douglas County High School senior class of 2013 participated in a number of community outreaches. Members of the class volunteered in metro area soup kitchens and area battered women’s shelters, Kappas said. During the holidays, students contributed Thanksgiving dinners to area families in need and decorated the Christmas Angel Tree, providing gifts and support to families in the school community. “That was very special to me,” Kappas said. “They are willing to assist with these global efforts but also take care of their own community.” Beneficiaries of the efforts led by this year’s seniors included the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Dumb Friends League Buddy Center and the

Unified Club, creating athletic events and activities for special-needs residents and classmates. The Unified Club ranked as Kappas’ most memorable experience with the class of 2013, he said. The club is working with the Colorado High School Activities Association in hopes of making specialneeds sports part of Colorado’s varsity program. “It was absolutely one of the most fulfilling opportunities I’ve been a part of in the educational realm,” Kappas said. “It’s paying it forward through giving.”

Castle View grads formed tight-knit group Seniors notable for striving for improvements in school By Rhonda Moore rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com The Castle View High School graduating class of 2013 will leave the school a “better place” than it was when the group stepped into the school halls as freshman. That is according to Principal James Calhoun, who has an inside track to a graduating class that is special to him for a couple of reasons. Calhoun’s son is a member of the senior class of 2013, which left an indelible mark on the school, Calhoun said. “I know it’s a very close-knit group that seems to care very deeply about each other and about the community,” Calhoun said. “There are some great leaders in the group that worked hard for this class and worked hard to make Cas-

tle View High School a better high school.” This year’s Castle View High School seniors made a difference by taking traditional school activities and turning up the volume, just enough, Calhoun said. The weeklong Homecoming Showdown in the 2012/2013 school year was more like a “pep assembly on steroids,” Calhoun said. The homecoming tradition this year demonstrated collaboration among athletes, artists and everyday students with events that brought the school together to make the week a memorable one, Calhoun said. This year’s Make a Difference Week benefited the Rocky Mountain Childhood Cancer Foundation with a weeklong fundraising effort that generated $15,000 in donations to

the organization that provides financial aid to families with children battling cancer, he said. Among the fundraising efforts was a student/faculty basketball game, a fun run and a daily “Mad Minute,” which began with an intercom announcement to start the clock for 60 seconds of hallway madness as students emptied their pockets into buckets manned by members of the student council. “They raised $3,000 more than last year,” Calhoun said. “Basically it’s just kids stepping up to the plate donating lunch money and other (contributions) to raise $15,000 in a week. This is just a group that was very close.” The Castle View High School graduation is May 22 at Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Their presence on the list is in contrast to U.S. News & World Report’s recently released ranking of best high schools, on which no Douglas County high school appeared. Douglas County School Board President John Carson was not surprised by the news. “It reaffirmed my belief that we’ve got really some of the best schools in the state of Colorado, and the best teachers in the state of Colorado,” he said. “I think that we continue to see evidence of that when people look at the subjective, measurable criteria out there. “I think it certainly reflects we’re doing a good job of preparing kids for college and career success, and that they’re

motivated to take a lot more challenging courses while they’re in school. Kids are coming out of school prepared to lead and succeed in life.” Local school officials believe statistics related to low-income and minority students shifted them off the U.S. News’ list. Douglas County high schools have made frequent appearances on both lists over the years. “That’s why the U.S. News one was surprising; we’ve always had a good presence on both those lists,” he said. “In our view, (Newsweek’s) six criteria are good, solid, objective criteria you can use to measure results,” he said. Douglas County also has night, online and alternative high schools. Newsweek invites schools to self-report information it considers in its ranking. More than 5,000 public high schools were invited to submit data for the 2013 list; nearly 2,500 responded.

Newsweek based its conclusions on 2011-12 data, and indicators including graduation rates, participation in Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs, and acceptance into a two- or four-year college program. “This is because of our outstanding students, excellent teaching staff and supportive community,” Puga said. “The bottom line is, it’s really reflective on the great job we do working together for our students. “I think a lot of it’s just the number of kids we have that are taking (Advanced Placement) tests, and scoring very highly on those.

Police commander running for sheriff Castle Rock’s Anderson to throw hat in ring By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com A commander with the Castle Rock Police Department has announced he will run for Douglas County sheriff. Cmdr. John Anderson is the second Republican candidate to announce his intent, joining Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock. Anderson also ran for the office in 2006 against Sheriff Dave Weaver, whose second term expires in 2014. “I’m going to bring a lot of positive changes to the sheriff’s office,” said Anderson, who made the announcement May 11. “It has been the same establishment for 34 years. I’m going to bring a different lens,

introduce new programs and improve and enhance the professionalism of the department.” Anderson, 57, began his law enforcement career 35 years ago with the Castle Rock Police Department. He is a native of the town and served as a captain until 2012, when new Chief Jack Cauley eliminated the department’s captain and Anderson lieutenant positions. Facing a campaign that could last more than a year, Anderson plans to take what he learned from his first run for office and reach as many residents as possible over the next several months. He intends to focus on quality of life, community safety and customer service,

which rank high on the list for Douglas County residents, he said. “It’s a big county, people have questions,” Anderson said. “You have to reinforce what you say and it takes time. I think that’s very vital to let people know who you are so they have time to understand (your positions). The first time, I had no idea what running for office was. I was totally blind. I have learned how to network much better, how to understand what people in Douglas County want and need. I’ve placed myself in a situation where I’m very serious, very focused and I’m ready to go.” Anderson will launch his campaign with a Unite and Celebrate Our Freedom party May 25 at his ranch south of Castle Rock. Supporters can find out more about the launch and campaign at www.andersonfor sheriff.org.

ANDERSON HOSTS CAMPAIGN LAUNCH What: Unite and Celebrate Our Freedom campaign launch, hosted by Douglas County sheriff candidate John Anderson. Where: The JA Ranch south of Castle Rock. When: May 25 Events: Noon to 2 p.m. — A shooting range to show support for the Second Amendment. Space is limited. Participants supply personal firearms and ammunition. 2 to 7 p.m. — Trout fishing, a live country-western swing band, outdoor dancing, hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and sodas. The band begins to play at 4:30 p.m. For more information or to reserve a spot at the shooting range, go online to www.andersonforsheriff.org or email john@andersonforsheriff.org.

DOUGLAS COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORT Bikes a hot target for thieves

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is reporting that bicycle thefts have increased dramatically in recent months. Apartment complexes, townhome areas and other high-occupancy dwelling areas, as well as houses with garage doors left open, are the most heavily targeted by thieves. Between April 26 and May 7 the sheriff’s office investigated a minimum of five cases around the county that involved stolen bicycles. In one case a stolen garage door opener was used to gain entry. Some of

the bikes have also been taken off front porches despite being locked. When bikes are stolen from inside a garage, home or other structure, the crime is classified as a felony burglary. The sheriff’s office recommends that people keep their garage doors closed and locked and that if they have to leave their bikes outside, such as on the porch, keep the porch light on at night and use a highquality theft resistant lock that cannot be cut through with ease. Also, if it is discovered a garage door opener has been stolen,

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

Photo by Jane Reuter 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-ayear 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, Hickenlooper, Repella, Gunning and seven other officials joined Schwab in lifting 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 underway. It includes two five-story office buildings, a parking garage, amphitheater and retail branch building. A third five-story office building and second parking garage are planned for the later phase.

More money going to teachers, classrooms District proposes pay bumps, higher per-student funding By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

The Douglas County School District plans an average 4 percent pay increase for teachers in 2013-14, one of several good-news budget recommendations announced May 7. But under the district’s new pay-forperformance program, not all teachers are guaranteed an increase. Teachers rated “ineffective” would not get more money, according to DCSD. Pay for performance is “a bit of a change from the past,” said school board president John Carson. “But we expect, by and large, teachers are going to do well under (pay for performance), so on average it’s going to be 4 percent.” DCSD cites the improving state economy and in-district savings for allowing the 9800 budget changes, which also include more nch money for students and the elimination of f a $25 parent-paid technology fee. The expected state-provided per-pupil on revenue will increase by about $165 per stuile dent. The district also will add its own mone ey to that pot for a total funding increase of e $200 per student, which totals $11.2 million. “We’re going to be able to put $200 more (per student) into the classrooms because we’ve found efficiencies in the overall budget, so we can do even a little better than what we’re getting from the state,” Carson said. DCSD plans to cover the $2.2 million annual increase in contributions to the Public Employees Retirement Association of Colorado, and the $1.2 million increase in medical plan costs for all teachers. That leaves $12 million — or 4 percent — for salaries, half of which will be a per-

manent pay increase and the other half a one-year, one-time bump. “This will be our second consecutive year of raises after a number of years where the economy didn’t allow for raises,” Carson said. “Now we’re back on track to where we think we’ll be able to continue giving our teachers regular raises.” How much — or whether — each teacher’s paycheck will grow hinges on a complex set of factors. DCSD’s new, controversial evaluation system categorizes an educator’s teaching style on a range from “highly effective” to “ineffective.” Pay increases are based in part on that rating. Pay also is determined by a teacher’s placement on the market-based pay scale. It established a salary range based on subject matter, with higher salaries given to those who provide instruction in more complex or specialized areas. For instance, a social studies or business teacher falls into a lower-paying salary band than a science or Chinese language teacher. The two scales are tightly enmeshed. So while a teacher who is rated highly effective will get a bigger salary boost than one rated less effective, a teacher rated highly effective who is paid at a below-market rate would get a larger raise than one rated partially effective but already paid at an abovemarket rate. Further complicating the calculations is the four-year salary freeze teachers endured during the deepest point of the recession. “Part of the evaluation of the belowmarket and above-market has to do with the pay freezes,” said DCSD spokeswoman Cinamon Watson. “If somebody was hired four years ago, their pay was frozen for four years, and we’ve since hired people at salaries above them, we need to catch those folks up.” The budget is scheduled for adoption in June.

CONNECTING CARE WITH COMPASSION

School board opposes funding bill Resolution says proposal contrary to county’s interests By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

The Douglas County School Board adopted a resolution May 7 opposing the proposed revamped Public School Finance Act. Senate Bill 213, which hinges on voter approval of a $1 billion tax increase in November, is “profoundly contrary to the best interests” of Douglas County students and taxpayers, according to the resolution. “For every additional dollar of taxes the residents es in of this county would pay, ng to we would get back maybe 50 cents,” school board udge President John Carson said. n exThe bill recently passed bs in the General Assembly and Carson e tax now awaits the Gov. John cenHickenlooper’s signature. As proposed, it would bring an adon-aditional $43 million to $46 million to the act,” Douglas County School District, but about $16 million of that would go to fund addiresitional early childhood education required under the bill. The financial benefit would of inbe further undercut by the impact of a poe arts tential state income tax increase on Dougking. las County’s high per-capita income, school their board member Kevin Larsen said. ning The proposal increases full-day kinderab in garten, preschool and special education funding, and gives more money to districts f the with high concentrations of low-income enue students and English-language learners dy is (ELL). Douglas County has relatively few office students who fall into those categories. eater Douglas County’s dearth of at-risk students already ranks it among the lowest for secstate per-pupil funding among Colorado later school districts, which has been a longstanding cause of concern in DCSD. But Senate Bill 213 expands the definition of at-risk, as well as the funding sent to those most-affected districts. Under the pro-

posal, districts whose enrollment of at-risk and ELL students exceeds the state average would receive up to 140 percent of the statewide average. Carson noted that Douglas County likely won’t ever reach that concentration of atrisk and ELL students, and consequently won’t be eligible for higher funding. “It’s just bizarre to me we’re saying essentially a student in this district who might meet that same criteria doesn’t get the same level of funding,” Carson said. “That, to me, is a glaring flaw in this legislation that I’ve yet to hear any logical explanation for.” Larsen also believes the definition of atrisk is “simplistic” and excludes students with different, but equally serious needs. The proposal decreases the amount of money districts receive for students in online schools; about 3,000 students from across the Front Range are enrolled in DCSD’s Hope Online Learning Academy. “That’s a pretty significant portion of money,” Larsen said, noting those students also don’t qualify for at-risk funding. “At least in our case, most of our online kids are what would be defined as at-risk.” Finally, Larsen and other board members worry the bill threatens the passage of any local education ballot measure. They believe the statewide tax required to put the program into effect likely would make people hesitant to approve additional education taxes. “It’s largely a political exercise that rewards favored districts,” board member Craig Richardson said of the bill. “I’m also struck by the magnitude of the tax increase. And it’s light on changes. It’s light on reform. It’s light on transformation.” Larsen thinks the statewide tax will be a tough sell. However, the proposal won’t expire until 2017. “So that gives five potential November elections,” he said, “which I think create a five-year window of killing potential (local) mill levies around the state.” If voters approve the ballot measure needed to fund the program, it would take effect in the 2015-16 academic year.

With pot legal, here come the laws Legislature wraps up work on package of regulation bills

‘Given the short time frame, I think we’ve done the best job we possibly could. This was the project I

By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The state Legislature may have passed rules involving sales and usage of recreational marijuana in Colorado, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t unresolved issues surrounding the newly created industry. Questions loom as to whether voters will support the tax model that legislators put in place to support retail pot regulations, and whether the federal government will intervene. Still, lawmakers believe they did good work creating laws to regulate an industry in uncharted territory. “Given the short time frame, I think we’ve done the best job we possibly could,” said Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, a major driver of pot legislation this session. “This was the project I undoubtedly spent the most amount of time on this session, to make sure we got it right.” Pabon was the sponsor of House Bill 1317, which creates regulations for the operation of retail marijuana stores. The stores are to open beginning Jan. 1, under the supervision of the Department of Revenue. There will be limits as to what retail marijuana stores can and cannot do, as well as how much marijuana consumers are allowed to purchase. Some late-session amendments would have allowed out-of-state residents to purchase greater amounts of the drug, as well as to permit the existence of marijuana clubs, where people could congregate to use the drug. However, those amendments failed. Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, along with Pabon, was instrumental in crafting the Amendment 64 bills. She opposed those amendments, and said it’s important for the state to go slow in rolling out the new industry. Marijuana use and sales are illegal under federal law, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office has yet to provide insight as to how it will respond to the new legislation. So, lawmak-

undoubtedly spent the most amount of time on this session, to make sure we got it right.’ Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver ers like Jahn say they wanted to make sure they put in place regulations that support strong oversight and that also keep the drug away from children. “We have so much to lose if we don’t do this right,” Jahn said. “And because we have so many ‘I don’t know what I don’t knows,’ I just think we have to move really cautiously.” But regulations surrounding the industry are bound to change, and lawmakers certainly will address many other pot-related issues in the coming years. “It’s been 80 years since Prohibition and were still passing alcohol laws today,” said Pabon. “We’ve had 80 years to protect that system. We’ve had six months to implement this one.”

Voters to rule on tax

Another key piece of Amendment 64 legislation came in the form of House Bill 1318, which will ask voters to support a 15 percent excise tax, and an initial 10 percent sales tax on retail marijuana. House Republicans unanimously opposed the bill, even though the bill received bipartisan support in the Senate. Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, cautioned that if voters do not approve the tax, the money could end up coming out of the state’s general fund. “It was an issue of making sure we were protecting the state,” McNulty said. “We supported suspending retail operations if the tax doesn’t pass. If the tax doesn’t pass ... and if you’re not putting other options in front of voters, everything that state government does is vulnerable.”

Fears over what the voters might end up doing in November led to a late-session effort aimed at a partial repeal of Amendment 64, one that was supported by McNulty. The resolution called for the suspension of retail marijuana sales if the pot taxes are not supported by voters. It would not have affected the decriminalization aspect of Amendment 64, so it still would have been legal to smoke the drug. However, that legislation died almost as quickly as it was introduced in the Senate. Democratic Senate President John Morse teamed up with fellow Colorado Springs Sen. Bill Cadman, the chamber’s minority leader, to introduce the legislation. Morse said he “didn’t have the votes” to get the resolution passed. But he said he hoped the crafting of the legislation sent a message to the pro-Amendment 64 lobby, that they need to ensure the tax rate passes in November. Gov. John Hickenlooper said he’s confident that Amendment 64 backers will work with lawmakers in making sure that the taxes pass in November, so that the state isn’t stuck with the bill. “I think we’ll all work on it,” the governor said. “I think they’ll commit resources because if it doesn’t pass, their lives will become chaos. And I don’t even want to speculate what the federal government will do. I don’t even want to speculate what the people of Colorado will do. “They can take it nonchalantly at their own risk.”

Provisions of bills

Here are some of the key aspects of each

of the three bills that deal with the regulation of retail pot sales and use: House Bill 1317: • In-state residents are allowed to purchase up to one ounce of marijuana at retail shops in a single transaction. Visitors to the state can purchase up to a quarter of an ounce per transaction. • Marijuana clubs — places where people could congregate to smoke the drug — are not allowed. • Pot shops cannot sell food or drinks that do not contain marijuana. However, they can sell products such as pipes and rolling papers. Stores also are not allowed to use known food products or cartoon characters to market marijuana products. • All marijuana-themed magazines must be kept behind pot store counters. • Pot stores cannot be mobile, operating like food trucks. • Allows existing medical marijuana stores to start retail pot shops first. • There must be common ownership between dispensaries and cultivation facilities, and 70 percent of the marijuana grown must come from that ownership. Senate Bill 283: • Revises criminal statutes that deal with children. The bill treats minors possessing marijuana the same as it does underage persons who possess alcohol. It also prohibits marijuana from being allowed on school grounds • Sets up law enforcement training that deals with roadside sobriety tests. • Prohibits open containers of marijuana from being inside vehicles. • Creates the same indoor air-quality restrictions as those dealing with tobacco. House Bill 1318: • Retail sales of marijuana are subject to an excise tax of up to 15 percent, and a retail tax of up to 10 percent. That’s in addition to the standard state sales tax rate of 2.9 percent and taxes imposed by local governments where retail pot sales are allowed. Because the General Assembly cannot increase taxes, voters must approve the excise and retail taxes this November. • Cities and counties that allow the sale of retail pot will receive a 15 percent share back of retail marijuana taxes that are collected by the state.

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-

What advice do you have 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 Wikipedia’s entry on the topic. “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, or if they were oblivious. Language is where I have fun. It’s where I have the most fun. Don’t take me out to the ball game, although there is always the national anthem, and “Jose, can you see?” The first time I heard the Lord’s Prayer, I thought, “This is great. They have art

classes in heaven.” You know? “Our Father who art in heaven.” 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, is it? 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 thirty 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 Smith continues on Page 11

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.

Remember to make time for the important things 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. And although I will try and capture the details, it is really the essence of the message I hope I can pass along. 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 Norton continues on Page 11

Letter to the editor Vouchers offer needed options

It is extremely disappointing to read Mr. Nicholas’ hypocritical guest column (“We’re not in Kansas, school board,” May 2). He saw a problem that needed solving: Not all students learn best in the same environments. Students and families need education options. This is exactly the goal of parents and taxpayers in the Douglas County School District who support the voucher program. Mr. Nicholas was pleased that district staff and board reached out to him. Has he

offered the same to those developing the voucher program? Or is he selfish, or worse jealous: his goals passed, close the door to other innovative ideas? From his writings, it’s the latter. It is apparent that Mr. Nicholas has forgotten why he started a charter! Vouchers offer options. Open your mind to the reality that students need options for their education and families know what is best for their children. Leanna Palmer Castle Rock

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 is ering had with a lobbyist at the Capitol about the d by correct pronunciation of the Latin-based te’s “sine die.” It means “without day” and it’s typically re ats used in conjunction with a governing body not ending its work for a while — such as the case was last week with the adjournment ve of the 2013 General Assembly. The lobbyist pronounced sine die the ately way it looks on paper. “I think it’s like saying `sign,’ or `Seindo, as a feld,’” he told me. That’s when I abruptly changed the subouject to begin sharing some of my favorite “Seinfeld” moments, and to quote lines r 014. 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, DDenver. “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, RColorado 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

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.

throughout the 120-day 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.

$$$ for Students, Teachers, Parents When it comes to resources, it’s not complicated: more is better. Douglas County School District (DCSD) leaders made preliminary budget recommendations for FY2014 to the Board of Education on Tuesday, May 7. The recommendations add up to good news for students, parents, and employees.

“For our students, we are putting more money back into schools; for our parents, we are eliminating technology fees; and, for our employees, we are giving a 5.2% average compensation increase,” said DCSD Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Fagen. Continued on page 3

Green Ribbon Awarded for Sustainability Douglas County School District (DCSD) has received the first ever U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools District Sustainability Award as bestowed by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. Only 14 of 15,000 districts nationwide were selected for this recognition of exemplary efforts. DCSD was nominated for the Green Ribbon School District Sustainability Award by the Colorado

Department of Education. The award acknowledges DCSD’s achievements in taking a comprehensive

approach to sustainability. “DCSD has long been a model of excellence in Continued on page 4

“The bottom line is, thanks to responsible fiscal management and improved state revenues, DCSD is on strong financial footing and we are able to announce this positive budget news,” Fagen said. This is the second year in a row that DCSD has given employee raises and put additional dollars into the classroom. New budget details include: • More for DCSD Students: $13.7 M: • $200/student back to our schools – $11.6 M • $2.1 million funding for (add for) high school student requests and school innovation – one time requests • More for DCSD Parents: $1.2 M via the Technology Fee elimination • More for DCSD Educators & Employees: $15.7 M (5.2% Average Compensation Increase) • 2% On-Going Average Salary Increase - $6 M • 2% Average One-Time Pay in September - $6 M • PERA Increase Paid by District - $2.2 M • Medical Benefit Increase Paid by District - $1.5 M

According to DCSD Chief Financial Officer Bonnie Betz, the 2014 budget supports the priorities and commitments of the DCSD Strategic Plan. “First and r foremost, we are focusing our resources to prepare our students to compete on the world stage for the college ve is or career path of their choice. And, second, we are l.” improving the quality of life for our employees.” Following a difficult economic climate and five years of budget cuts, DCSD worked diligently last year to balance the budget and plan for the increased costs curve. “DCSD is in strong fiscal shape and with these recommendations, we will continue on that path,” continued Betz. Betz pointed to DCSD’s bond rating of AA+ as evidence of fiscal stability.

May 16, 2013 to that at Castlewood Canyon. The training was made up of three sessions throughout the day, to include firefighters from all agencies and all shifts. To mimic a complicated rescue, the cliff was selected for its 90-degree drop, calling for the use of a tripod pivotal to a successful rescue. The tripod is set near the cliff’s edge to add height at the peak of the climb, giving rescuers who are carrying equipment more control in the first few steps while lowering down the side, Bray said. “They are fun calls,” he said. “We added more challenging components, rather than a low-angle call.” A rescue in such conditions would begin with having a rescuer rappel to the bottom to assess the victim’s condition, Bray said.

Once firefighters determine whether the call is a rescue or a recovery, the tripod, anchors and lowering system are established to begin the real work. On training day, about 15 firefighters and paramedics formed teams to anchor the tripod, securing ropes from the pulley system to a “bomb-proof” anchor, said Larkspur Fire Lt. Chad Campagnola. Bomb-proof anchors include live, mature trees or permanently set boulders — anything that will not shift if faced with several hundred pounds of pull, Campagnola said. By the time the anchors were set, four ropes connected to three anchors held the tripod in place. On training day, Castle Rock Fire and Rescue Lt. Matt Rettmer called on a volunteer to demonstrate the pulley system, car-

rying a basket designed to secure a person for the trip back up. The volunteer was 18-year-old EMT Ethan Howard from Larkspur, the day’s youngest trainee. Howard made the trip down and back without a hiccup. “It wasn’t high enough,” Howard said of the 40-foot drop. “I like heights.” While the training exercise took more than two hours from beginning to end, Rettmer was confident a real-world rescue would go smoothly in the event of interagency response. “There’s nothing fast about this, but with this training it will go much quicker,” Rettmer said. “This is bringing all of our smaller training exercises together.”

able, but the cost of making improvements is prohibitive to investment because of site challenges that range from drainage and topographical issues to environmental hazards. A URA could open those properties up for development, 9 by allowing the authority to help finance improvements nd through bond issuances secured by the increased property taxes expected from improvements, Stevens said. It’s a matter of the owner using the increased taxes that third owner expects to pay on the property to finance the imat provements at the front end, Stevens said. To qualify, the proposal must pass muster with an applis an cation and plan that may or may not include TIF financing, day at depending on whether the project can prove its financial sson viability, Stevens said. ng “The town isn’t betting any funding,” Stevens said. “We nday organize the entity to entertain proposals that must pass al financial scrutiny and financial analysis of what kind of revOn enue that property will generate.” game Among the residents who attended the URA public oints. hearing were some who criticized the URA for its failure to pril, address historical preservation and others who called it a we diversion of taxes that benefits developers. are “The economic development is going to give an advanh tage to some builders and developers over other builders rial and developers,” said Castle Rock resident Ben Cox. “That w. advantage is going to be the use of public funds to make ith any their projects come in on budget. We all speculate when we buy land. We know that when we can offset our costs we every have an advantage over people who can’t offset their costs.” Stevens pointed out that the formation of an urban res at newal authority does not declare the entire town of Castle Rock blighted. Each plan must qualify for consideration to t noon declare an area blighted with a plan that is unique to the n urban renewal area, Stevens said. 8Among those who attended the hearing were two property owners who said they intended to submit applications n the for consideration of an urban renewal area.

significant.” The agreement is contingent upon the approval by the Army Corps of Engineers to revise the Rueter-Hess Reservoir permit to allow the WISE water to be stored in Rueter-Hess, said Heather Beasley, water resources manager. Added contingencies include finalization of an agreement between Denver, Aurora and Western Slope water providers to allow the cities of Denver and Aurora to sell the water to WISE. If the contingencies are not met by the end of 2013, the agreement is terminated unless the WISE partnership agrees to extend the deadline, Beasley said. The WISE partnership establishes a governing board made up of representatives from three of the largest participating entities and two of the smaller entities. The vote must be unanimous on decisions related to financial obligations, the sale or lease of core infrastructure, approval of any Rueter-Hess conditions, amendments to the delivery agreement and approval of the Colorado River agreement, Beasley said. The selling water providers will set the wholesale price of water and the WISE partners will pass on the cost of delivery to their customers, Beasley said. The wholesale water costs from the WISE project are among several aspects to determine the future water and water resource parts of a customer’s water bill, according to the town of Castle Rock. The purchase cost of the WISE water is expected to rise dramatically in 2030, the year the selling providers are no longer expected to be able to deliver water treated to reduce the amount of dissolved solids, Beasley said. The WISE partnership, intergovernmental and delivery agreements are on the town’s website at www.crgov.com.

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

tmunds@ourcolorado news.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 did all they could to make this a very special trip for the guests of honor. Active-duty military personnel met the

veterans at the airport and helped them with their baggage. Then, people in the airport and on the plane applauded when the presence of World War II veterans was announced. The flight landed at Baltimore and a fire truck shot an arc of water over the plane, there were flag-waving volunteers as the group got off the plane and a brass band greeted them at baggage claim. Englewood resident Sel Hewitt, a radio operator on a B-29 in the Pacific during the war, said the trip was fantastic and was a neverto-be-forgotten experience. “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 Burrows, 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 back to Denver, the veterans had a surprise with a special “mail call” as each man re-

World War II veteran Sel Hewitt of Englewood talks about his experiences to a group of students during a visit to the World War II Memorial. Hewitt was part of an honor flight to Washington, D.C. Photos by Tom Munds ceived 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.

Choose carefully during record highs Now that we hit the record highs on several of the stock market indexes, it is time to be choosy about future investments. This reminds me of a famous commercial when I was growing up with the mantra “Choosy mothers chose Jif.” Well, now that markets have more than doubled off their low points, investors can afford to be selective. In the peanut butter analogy, you can afford to buy the best. The real question is how to be selective trying to invest in a market that feels like you are paying too much for anything you consider. Here is a primer our investment committee recommends when working with your adviser. 1. Determine the length of time for your portfolio. If it is longer than a full business cycle of seven to ten years, don’t worry about what point you are buying in. The strategy and allocation is much more important than the timing. 2. Build a strategy based on proper diversification for your time frame and risk budget. This allows you to add a variety of different types of investments, some of which may not be at a high-water mark yet. 3. Seek the best “risk-adjusted” returns for each piece of your portfolio.

“This means you want to research additions to your portfolio based on risk first,” says KFS Investment Analyst Greg Richards, CFP. Returns are actually a byproduct of how much volatility you are willing to accept. This can help avoid the short-term high flyers and direct you more towards longterm consistency. 4. Consider what category you are adding more money to and how that category is performing. If you have an opportunity to buy lower in a different sector, consider putting money to work in the undervalued asset class first. Dollar cost average by investing in smaller sums over a period of time to get average pricing over good and bad months. This will lessen some of the pain when the market corrects. 5. Resist the urge to only buy the best performers. In fact, you may want to consider trimming those categories by taking some profits off the

table in those asset classes and using the proceeds to buy in areas that are not yet overvalued. Richards, who heads up the investment committee, reviews over 20 different metrics before investing. He suggests at a minimum, investors wanting to get into the market at these levels should at least research some basic risk measures. Review downside capture, active share, standard deviation and Sharpe ratio to get a feel for how a manager may perform in various market conditions. The current performance may not be a good indication of how sustainable your returns will be over your time frame.

Chapel hits 100-year mark Public invited to celebrate anniversary of landmark By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com The charming white chapel that lends historical ambience to the downtown district has hit the century mark. Ruth Memorial Chapel, which stands proudly on the south side of Mainstreet near Victorian Drive, is a landmark unlike any other in the Town of Parker. It’s among the few structures that have survived the modernization of the downtown area. Town officials and longtime residents are preparing to mark its 100th anniversary with a celebration from 10 a.m. to noon May 18. Carriage rides and live music from the early 20th century will help participants

“travel back in time to 1913,” according to the public invitation. Walking into the one-room chapel, visitors are met with a sense of nostalgia. Those who take a tour of the chapel during the May 18 event will note finely crafted windows, sturdy church pews and the echoes of their own footfalls. The Parker Area Historical Society, which helps represent and protect historic structures, partnered with the town for the 100-year celebration. Mike Mulligan, president of the historical society, says Ruth Memorial Chapel was the first church built in town. All previous services were held in residents’ homes. Dedicated in May 1913 as Ruth Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, the facility still hosts weddings and regular church services, with seating for 70. It has undergone a few renovations over

the years — most recently in 2004, when new exterior paint was applied and the hardwood floors were finished — but has managed to retain its historic charm. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The Town of Parker bought the building in 1996. A miniature replica of the chapel stands at Parker United Methodist Church’s current location at South Parker Road and Pine Drive. Ruth Memorial was named after the daughter of Dr. Walter Heath, the man who donated part of the land and $1,000 toward the chapel’s construction. Ruth died at an early age, and Heath passed away before the church was completed. For more information about Ruth Memorial Chapel, visit www.parkerhistory. org.

Air Supply to play in Parker 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 Su-

perstar” in Sydney. After the shows, they would perform together in coffee houses and nightclubs, singing 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 fastest-selling 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.

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

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.

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.)

Parker

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 regrowth, 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/.

You can see six shows for just $85 on the lawn or $110 for reserved eating. Single tickets are priced between $15 and $25. LTAC Executive Director Lisa Rigsby Peterson says, “I don’t think it’s a question of why people subscribe, it’s more why wouldn’t they?

Chaparral claims district crown Castle View, Douglas County both eliminated By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Chaparral, the No. 2 seeded team in the Class 5A state baseball playoffs, combined shutout pitching with explosive offense to win the District 5 championship May 11 at Eaton Field. Riley O’Brien hurled a two-hit, seven-inning shutout in the Wolverines’ 8-0 win over Denver East. Max Kuhns, Chaparral’s starting quarterback during the football season, allowed just two hits in a 10-0 victory over Northglenn in the title game that lasted 4½ innings because of the mercy rule. O’Brien, a senior left-hander who is bound for Bethune-Cookman, struck out 12 batters including seven in a row during one stretch of the game. “I really just stuck to my fastball and slider,” said O’Brien. “They just couldn’t hit it. I really focused during the week on my running and prep work and that’s why I did so well. I was just confident I was going to pitch well.” East starting pitcher David LeamanMiller retired the first six Chaparral batters in order, but Keenan Eaton led off the third with a solo home run to spark a four-run rally. Josh Nicol belted a two-run homer in the fifth to stake O’Brien to an 8-0 lead. “We’ve played some teams that have thrown slower pitchers and that kind of caught us off-guard a little bit,” explained O’Brien. “After those first two innings I was a little nervous, but when Keenan hit that home run, I knew that was all we really needed.” Kuhns, a senior who has signed to play

Photo by Tom Munds baseball at Santa Clara, induced nine ground ball outs and struck out three batters to defeat Northglenn, which had notched a 6-1 win over Legacy to advance to the district title game.

“I thought I pitched pretty well and got my defense involved,” Kuhns said. “I just threw strikes and let them put it in play because we have a great defense and I know they are going to make the plays.”

Chaparral, the Continental League cochampions, sent 13 batters to the plate and left the bases loaded in an eight-run second inning. Baseball continues on Page 29

Athlete’s rugby scholarship out of the ordinary Castle View’s Albers bound for Connecticut By Jim Benton

Castle View High School senior Christie Albers, shown with Castle Rock Pirates coach Robbie Winter, has accepted a full-ride scholarship to Quinnipiac University in Hampden, Conn., where she will play women’s rugby. Courtesy photo

Castle View senior Christie Albers knew she was somebody special as she watched other athletes accept college scholarship offers. Albers did get a scholarship and it was a rare one. She accepted a full-ride scholarship to Quinnipiac University in Hampden, Conn., to play women’s rugby. “I was the only person at my school to get a rugby scholarship,” said Albers, who played for the Castle Rock Pirates co-op high school team that draws players from Castle View, Douglas County, Legend and Ponderosa. “There’s always more than one kid that gets a scholarship for other sports. I’m honored, I guess, to achieve that. We had to work hard to find schools that actually offered scholarships. All the work paid off.” Rugby is an emerging sport, but it is not an NCAA-sanctioned sport. Most college squads are club teams and are governed by USA Rugby. There were 14 varsity

men’s teams and six women’s varsity teams last season. Quinnipiac was one of only two Division I universities to offer women’s rugby scholarships, and Quinnipiac is the lone college to have full-ride grants. Albers is an inside center who played fullback in last November’s state championship game against Summit, and that’s when Quinnipiac coach Becky Carlson took notice. “I actually got an email from a member of her family and it said you need to check this kid out,” said Carlson. “She had a full resume, a nicely put together package. I said I just can’t take a kid off of a piece of paper, I need some game film. Her father put together a highlight film of her playing, I believe it was the state championship game, and she just made tackle after tackle. “I was recruiting primarily for the fullback position and I contacted Christie. We talked, and after 20 minutes she said, `You do know coach, I just played fullback for that game.’ I said, `Wait a minute, you have never played fullback before?’ and she said, `No not really, I was just filling in for somebody.’ She did a phenomenal job. She’s just an all-around great

kid. I knew it from the second I spoke to her on the phone. She’s got quite a resume for athletics.” Albers swims and is on the Castle View track team. She was a cheerleader for three years before giving that up to concentrate on rugby. “We had a powder puff game during homecoming and I’m kind of fast, so everybody said I should play in it,” explained Albers. “There was a girl who was playing that was on the rugby team and said I would be real good at (rugby) and I should come to their practices. So I did and I got real interested in it. I like being aggressive and it’s a lot of fun to play on a team because I’ve always been kind of an individual sport person. “When I tackle somebody, it feels really great. I really like the contact side of it. It’s sort of like football and soccer put together.” Castle Rock Pirates coach Robbie Winter pointed out that rugby will be in the 2016 Olympic Games, and Albers could develop into a player who might make the American squad. “She’s an outstanding athlete in terms of physical capabilities, rugby knowledge and she’s been a star for our team in the two seaRugby continues on Page 29

Kuhns had a two-run triple during the big second inning and Brett Wallace delivered a two-run single. Wallace wound up with three runs batted in during the game and Zac Guy collected three of the Wolverines’ 11 hits. “We have a stacked lineup and I feel our whole team is stacked with three- and four-hole hitters,” said Kuhns. “I feel we are blessed and can’t wait for the next round. We have to work hard to keep playing like we’ve been playing and hopefully get some more Ws.” Chaparral (17-4) advances to the double elimination state tournament to be played May 17-18 and May 24-25. Half of the eight teams are from the Continental League, and that doesn’t include co-champion Regis Jesuit, which lost to Chatfield in the District 2 finals.

The Wolverines will play Mountain Vista (13-7) on May 17 in a 12:30 p.m. game at Bishop Machebeuf High School, while last year’s state runners-up Legend (14-7) will open against ThunderRidge (16-5) at 10 a.m. at Machebeuf. During the regular season, Chaparral beat Mountain Vista, 11-3, and Legend edged the Grizzlies, 12-9. The way the bracket unfolds, the four Continental League teams will play against each other in the first two games. “Winning district is a great accomplishment, but this team knows there are bigger things left to do,” said Chaparral coach Tony Perischina. “These kids are unbelievable. They play for each other, they take care of each other, and that’s a huge thing. You can have a team of great players but it they don’t take of each other, then it’s really nothing. When they play with the type of spirit they have now, it’s awesome.” In other playoff games May 11, Mountain Vista beat Cherokee Trail, 8-4, and edged Dakota Ridge, 8-6, to capture the

District 6 title at Dakota Ridge. Dylan Formby cracked three home runs in the Golden Eagles’ two wins, including a gamewinning two-run circuit clout in the victory over Dakota Ridge. Legend traveled to Colorado Springs for the District 5 tournament and the Titans whipped Fairview, 12-0, and allowed only three hits in a 2-0 triumph over Pine Creek. ThunderRidge hosted the District 8 tourney and the Grizzlies beat Fossil Ridge, 6-1, and toppled Grand Junction, 13-3. Andrew Jones and Rowdy Sheets combined to limit Fossil Ridge to three hits while Jake Hand went 3-for-4 to spark the ThunderRidge offense. Josh Brown and Josh Newell each had three hits, Brody Westmoreland drove in three runs and Josh Predolich hit a three-run homer in the win over Grand Junction. Castle View ended its season with an 8-12 record when the Sabercats dropped a 6-3 decision to Cherry Creek in the District 4 tourney. Douglas County (11-9) was eliminated in the District 2 tournament at

Regis when the Huskies were shut out 4-0 by Chatfield. In Class 4A, Valor Christian (14-7) traveled to the District 6 tournament in Delta and left with two shutout triumphs. Daniel Butler pitched a three-hit, seven-inning gem as the Eagles whipped Longmont, 9-0. Butler also had a double, a homer and drove in three runs. Matt Fontneau and Nick Merten combined to pitch a five-inning two-hitter in a 15-0 romp over Delta that saw Valor collect 15 hits. Butler went 2-for-2, scored four runs and had four RBIs. Marco Castilla also was credited with four RBIs. Valor will play Montrose (19-2) in a 12:30 p.m. game May 17 at Cherokee Trail High School in the first game of the double-elimination bracket to determine a state champion. Lutheran beat Limon, 6-2, in the Class 2A district semifinals but lost to Denver Christian, 8-2, in the finals. The Lions (147) still advanced to the Region 2 semifinals and will play Peyton (16-5) at 10 a.m. May 18 at Niwot High School.

ing. There have been times when I’ve tried to bring her off the field and she refused to leave the field.” Albers had shoulder surgery last November. “I dislocated my shoulder two seasons ago, my junior year,” she said. “It got to the point where it would slide out and I would just like shake it back and it would go back in place. There was one game where my Dad said, `I can’t stand to watch you put your shoulder back in anymore, and we

need to take you to the doctor.’ “We went to the doctor and I was told if I wanted to play in college and be successful with my rugby career, I needed to have surgery to tighten everything back up so it wouldn’t come out any more.” Albers’ shoulder will be strong so she can deal with the challenge of playing college lacrosse. “It’s really kind of a scary thought,” Albers said. “The girls are bigger, stronger and meaner. I’m kind of mentally prepared for

it but I’ve got to get used to the fact that I’m going to be on a much higher level than I was on in high school.” And, after attending a recent USA rugby camp in Fullerton, Calif., Albers knows it will be another task to become an Olympic hopeful. “It gave me an idea if I work to go that far in rugby and try to get in the Olympics, that it is really going to be tough,” she said. “The camp was really rough.” But, Albers is a special person.

Paving job is taste of things to come Small project is precursor to major construction work By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Travelers on Colorado Highway 86 recently had a chance to experience what’s to come later this summer, when CDOT begins a paving project from Elizabeth to Franktown. The Colorado Department of Transportation on May 6 conducted maintenance on a short segment of the highway, adding a coat of new asphalt to the road’s surface. The project was completed in about a day, with nearly a dozen paving trucks on site to put a half-inch coat of new asphalt on about 1,000 feet of the road just west of Elizabeth. Traffic was down to one lane during the project, with flaggers managing cars in both directions. The resulting traffic

delays gave drivers an idea of the largerscale project set to begin before summer’s end. CDOT is scheduled to repave the highway from Franktown to Elizabeth in a project expected to last about three months, said Bob Wilson, CDOT spokesman. The Highway 86 repaving project will begin in August and is scheduled for completion in October, Wilson said. The project will include removal of the existing road surface and application of two inches of asphalt, he said. “This (May 6 project) is a very short segment,” Wilson said. “When maintenance crews do it, they do a skim layer to maintain the roadway until a bigger paving project comes through. That bigger paving project will be much longer-lasting.” CDOT has yet to schedule a start date for the repaving project. More information will be provided before construction begins, Wilson said.

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.

L E D MO ! N E P O W O

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.

WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT.

WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra�smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and sustainable building techniques. The thicker walls in our New Town Builders’ high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula�on than in a conven�onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we can get 2 ½ �mes MORE insula�on in the a�c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill! Talk to us about building your (surprisingly aﬀordable) energy-eﬃcient new home.

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
