Repeal of open-weapons ban eyed Change proposed for inside Castle Rock municipal buildings By Virginia Grantier
vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com It would make him feel “a little uncomfortable” if he knew audience members could be carrying weapons, Castle Rock Councilmember Clark Hammelman said
at a June council meeting, in response to Mayor Paul Donahue’s request to consider repealing the town’s open-weapons ban in municipal buildings. “I would feel a little bit funny if they’re sitting there with their shotguns next to their chairs … and then when they come up to the witness stand they come up with their assault weapons. That would just bother me. It might be intimidating,” he said, and laughed. But Hammelman and the rest of the council, except Councilmember Chip Wil-
son who was absent, agreed to direct staff to research the possible repeal as well as two other Donahue requests. Donahue asked and got consensus to consider raising the fine for a minor in possession of marijuana from a maximum of $100 to $1,000, along with imposing mandatory community service. He also wants to “have our national motto put up here in council chambers.” Donahue said he’d like “In God We Trust” put “where people can see it, where it’s visible.” That item, which would just be a policy

Regarding the concerns Hammelman expressed June 4 about possible weapons in the hearing room, Donahue said he understands, but that people have a right to do it. “The Constitution grants them that Weapons continues on Page 31
Town is one happy place, survey shows
Castle Rock gets higher satisfaction level than 2011 By Virginia Grantier

Country singer Walker Williams sang June 19 to about 4,500 people at The Meadows subdivision’s first concert of its annual summer series in Castle Rock.
Meadows music draws thousands First show in free summer series attracts about 4,500 By Virginia Grantier
vgrantier@ourcolorado.com The scene was pretty sweet at the The Meadows subdivision’s kick-off concert for its free summer concert series in Castle Rock. Sweet music wasn’t all that filled the air at Butterfield Crossing Park. Downwind from the cotton-candy machine, wisps of the stuff took flight frequently as the breeze blustered, and scads of kids would open their baby-bird mouths and leap and grab. The grass far beyond, and around tents and chairs, got a coating of the light-blue sugar hair. It was just another thing that seemed to spark smiles of those nearby in the crowd of several thousand, in this scene of people-watching and picnics, and of alert dogs wanting some of the picnic, and kids running and dancing around like they had never known this kind of freedom before. And then there was the music: Denver area Meadows continues on Page 31

Castle Rock residents seem to be even happier about living in their town than they were a couple years ago — and they were quite happy then, according to findings in a town survey. Castle Rock Town Manager Mark Stevens said at the June 18 town council meeting that the 2013 survey had even higher scores than the 2011 survey. And the 2011 scores, the town was told at the time by the survey research firm, were among the highest, if not the highest, of any community survey in the United States. “The fact that 2013 comes in and (the numbers) are higher is just remarkable,” Stevens said. The survey cost about $35,000 and was conducted by Georgia-based Pioneer Market Research. About 1,300 residents and business-license holders responded to the survey. “Overall … residents are very satisfied with life and living in Castle Rock,” Charles Montgomery, Pioneer’s director of research, said at the council meeting. “The perception is the town is doing a very solid job.” There is still concern about traffic congestion and long-term water solutions, but a smaller percentage expressed concern about the water issue in this recent survey. Montgomery presented some of the survey’s main findings. A full report on the survey results will be posted online in July, at CRgov.com/2013survey. Small-town character is the main reason that 60 percent chose to live in Castle Rock. And 91 percent said the reason they chose to live in Castle Rock worked out as expected. Town services, amenities and quality of life generally ranked near or above good, on a scale where 3 was “average,” 4 was “good” and 5 was “excellent,” according to a news release. As a place to live, the survey score averaged out to be 4.32; and as a place to raise children, 4.30. When asked about a sense of community or cohesiveness, the survey result was 3.87. Of the 77 items that could be compared to 2011 survey, 81 percent, or 62 items, showed an improvement.

Castle Pines cuts map costs Council OKs big savings by contracting with county By Virginia Grantier
vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Castle Pines until recently paid $100 an hour for mapping and related services — services which the city needs, as some of its maps online still don’t include correct boundaries from past annexations. But now
that cost has dropped to $45 an hour. That’s because something occurred to Sam Bishop, Castle Pines community development director, about Douglas County’s department of technology. “I’m familiar with their staff and the work products they do,” he said. “It crossed my mind to engage with them for services,” Bishop said in a recent interview. The county was interested. And so were his bosses. Castle Pines City Council unanimously approved an in-
tergovernmental agreement with Douglas County at its June 11 meeting. Bishop said the city’s current local vendor conceivably could be used again. But at the county’s price — $45 for mapping services and $67 for special projects — the city, which allocated up to $10,000 this year for mapping and geographic information projects, will now be able to get “double” the work product, Bishop said. “Great work,” Castle Pines Mayor Jeffrey Huff told Bishop at the June 11 meeting.
A major city priority now is to correct maps. Currently on the city’s website there are various maps with various municipal boundaries. “We need to standardize, make it more user-friendly,” Bishop said in a recent interview. Bishop said the agreement approved by the council now goes to the Douglas County Commissioners July 9 for approval. “Should they have any amendments, I’ll take it back to my council,” Bishop said.

Castle Pines OKs bid for road repairs Segments will add up to one mile of work By Virginia Grantier
vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County took care of road work in Castle Pines before incorporation, but now the 5-year-old city is on its own and marking another first: Its first streets-maintenance plan is in place and a bid on the first batch of repairs to be done was unanimously approved at the June 11 city council meeting. The project will be smaller than originally planned — 10 segments of roads instead of 15 segments, which means a total of about one mile of repairs involving about seven residential streets. Schmidt Construction Co., out of Castle Rock, was the low bidder at $643,000. The company was awarded a contract, but only for $500,000. Be-
cause of the major snow removal costs so far this year — about $317,000 — Schmidt was instructed to decrease the work to fit within the $500,000, Brad Meyering, Castle Pines’ public works, parks and open space manager, said at the meeting. Meyering said in a recent interview that it will be nice to have some of the work done, although he wishes for a lot more. “I wish I could do the entire city this year,” he said. He said some of the streets are “in such disarray” that pavement needs major repair or replacement. He said the streets’ asphalt, some of which is about 20 years old, wasn’t thick enough to begin with to accommodate the area’s original traffic loads. He said Schmidt is expected to begin the project, which will take about 90 days, in late June or early July. Streets with the worst damage in about six different areas of the city are involved. Schmidt is to send out fli-
ers in those areas to inform residents prior to commencing work. Meyering said he doesn’t expect traffic issues or delays because the projects are on residential streets or side roads, not major streets or arterials. Meyering said street improvements will continue every year. He said with the worst damage repaired this year, the city may be to cover more area next year with the same dollars, since those less-severe repairs will be less costly. At the council meeting, Councilmember James Einolf said he supported doing the entire project and wondered if the city could find money elsewhere and suggested dipping into reserves. “It’s always a balancing act,” Castle Pines Mayor Jeffrey Huff said. But Huff said that $817,000 — $500,000 for the roads and $317,000 for snow removal — was already a significant portion in the city’s $3 million budget.
Crime spree involves vehicles, guns, house Staff report A pickup was stolen, an unlocked home was burglarized and more than 20 cars were broken into June 20 in The Meadows and Castle Oaks neighborhoods, according to information from the Castle Rock Police Department. It’s thought that three to five suspects broke car windows and entered unlocked vehicles between 2 and 5
a.m. The stolen truck was a 2005 F150 four-door. Items taken included three handguns, as well as wallets and electronics such as iPods. Police said a video from a resident shows a suspect looking into a Ford truck. Another video shows the stolen Ford F150 and another vehicle of interest, a mid-sized sedan. Police say the videos indicate the suspect is a bearded black male in his 20s. The videos and photos of one sus-
pect are posted on the town’s Facebook page, facebook.com/CRgov. Police are recommending that residents lock their homes and vehicles at night and that they close their garage doors. And valuables, especially firearms, should not be left inside unattended vehicles. Anyone with information about the suspects is asked to call Castle Rock Police Detective Jason Maes at 303663-6100.

DOUGLAS COUNTY SHERIFF’S BRIEFS Grass fire hits Castle Pines
Shortly after 4 p.m. on June 12, Douglas County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a residence near the intersection of Castle Pines Drive South and Prospect Drive in Castle Pines on the report of a grass fire. Upon arrival, deputies joined up with Castle Pines Emergency Services, which was already on scene putting out three small fires in a mulch-covered area near a house in the 6300 block of Chateau Ridge Road. Arson investigators determined that smoldering cigarette butts in the mulch had started the fire. The only damage was to the mulch in the resident’s garden. Investigators are not filing charges in the incident. There have been multiple fires in the county started by discarded cigarette butts in recent weeks.
Thefts at county fairgrounds
There were two linked thefts reported outside the Douglas County Fairgrounds during a horse show on June 13. One theft resulted in a $2,000 Honda generator being
taken from outside of a horse trailer in the parking lot as well as a $5,000 saddle that had been sitting on top of the generator. The saddle, a Dale Martin Cutting Saddle, had Pro Choice skid boots attached along with engraved silver stirrups. The other theft, reported separately, involved an Eagle Mountain Kyle Jack Saddle, valued at $5,000, and $500 bridles described as “Part Rodeo Tom Balding’s.” Both victims reported seeing “two skater-looking kids in the area that appeared suspicious.” Both were white males, one of whom had light green basketball shorts and the other who had curly long brown hair and tight green pants on.
Statue stolen in Ranch
A gray and green statue of a longbearded Asian man was taken from near the front door of a house in the 9600 block of Dunning Circle in Highlands Ranch sometime between June 10 and 12. The “very heavy” statue is over three feet in height and valued at close to $400. There are no suspects or leads in the case.
Jewelry thief gets 48-year sentence 53-year-old is ‘career criminal,’ judge says By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com A Douglas County District Court judge showed no leniency to a man who showed no remorse for committing his 13th felony. Prosecutors for the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said Thomas Hild’s criminal record speaks for itself. Prior to his latest indiscretion, Hild had been convicted of 12 felonies — forgery, third-degree burglary, repeated driving infractions, leaving the scene of an accident and escape among them — and has been in and out of prison since 1978. Hild’s latest felony conviction — this one for a brazen, four-hour-long heist that netted $480,000 in jewelry — was the final straw for Douglas County District Court Judge Paul A. King, who referred to the de-
fendant as a “career criminal” before handing down a 48-year prison sentence June 14. Hild, 53, was arrested in May 2012 after Parker police identified him as one of three suspects in a burglary at Apex Jewelers two months earlier. Detective Penny VanDenBerg said Hild was recruited for his ability to drill through the wall of an adjacent vacant store and break into a safe using construction tools. Hild’s alleged co-conspirators, Hild Charles Williams and Daniel Delgado, face separate trials. Laura Wilson, deputy district attorney, said the men would have gotten away with the crime if not for good detective work by VanDenBerg, who spotted Delgado on surveillance video going through a nearby McDonald’s drive-thru while the alleged burglary was taking place. VanDenBerg said Delgado was supposed to be the “lookout.”

A 24-year-old baby-sitter has been convicted by a Douglas County jury for the sexual assault of a pre-teen Highlands Ranch boy in his care in the summer of 2010. Justin Jefferson, of Parker, who previously pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting another pre-teen boy he baby-sat in Aurora in 2011, is scheduled to be sentenced by 18th Judicial DisJefferson trict Court Judge Richard Caschette on Aug. 28. Jefferson, who was convicted in Douglas County June 14, faces a prison term ranging from 10 years to life for one count of sexual assault on a child while in a position of trust. The charge is listed as a “pattern of abuse.” “The two victims in these cases

Jefferson, who avoided potential prison time in the Arapahoe County case after prosecutors agreed to drop the “pattern of abuse” part of the initial charge, was in the midst of a 10-years-to-life term of sexual offender intensive supervision probation while undergoing his recent trial in Castle Rock. He is now in custody in Douglas County on a no-bond hold pending his sentencing. “We take the safety of our community extremely seriously,” Nancy Bushkin, Care.com vice president, said in a statement. “We are committed to providing families the best tools and resources to help them make an informed hiring decision and have implemented a number of safety features to help families find quality care providers.

“Equally as important to the measures we have instituted, and the tools that we have created for our members to use, is for families to exercise appropriate steps in safety, including meeting care providers before hiring them, reference checks and monitoring the relationship. We are deeply saddened by this news and this incident reinforces the need for everyone — families, communities and companies like us who service them, to be vigilant in assuring the well-being and safety of our children.” While Bushkin added that the online organization reached out to all families with whom Jefferson had been in contact, she refused to say how many families had contracted with the baby-sitter or how long he offered his services on the site. Bushkin said Jefferson’s account was immediately closed after the first incident came to light.

were remarkably brave to come forward with their families and describe their assaults,” said Deputy District Attorney Chris Gallo, who prosecuted the Highlands Ranch case. “Thanks to them, no more children will be victimized. Justin Jefferson will never be alone with a helpless boy again.” Both families that were victimized by Jefferson hired him through the website www.Care.com. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the District Attorney’s Office ask that anyone who hired Jefferson as a baby-sitter between the years of 2009 and 2011 contact law enforcement if they suspect that he engaged in any sexual contact with their children or other inappropriate behavior. “This case is a chilling reminder that our children are at risk if left with strangers,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “As a parent of young children, I am determined to make sure that these predatory practices are discovered and punished. Nobody gets to victimize our children with impunity.” According to Gallo, it took the Highlands Ranch victim two years to come forward, and the boy did so after Jefferson pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of sex assault on a

Group seeks feedback on water quality Authority charged with protecting watershed By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com A variety of entities have joined forces to discuss the future of the Chatfield watershed region, which runs from Chatfield Reservoir to Douglas County’s southern border, and they want everyone to weigh in. “We need to look at the watershed now to protect it in the future,” said Amy King of Tetra Tech, the consulting company working with the Chatfield Watershed Authority, during a June 19 public meeting. CWA was established in 1984 by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in an effort to protect water quality. “We believe it’s essential to have residents and local businesses involved with industry professionals to share vital information about the watersheds we serve to protect and be part of the solution to improve water quality and overall health of the watershed,” Julie Vlier, CWA’s water manager, said in a press release. “Some great ideas are being generated by the public to improve water quality and protect the water resources important to the public while providing multiple benefits to recreational users, wildlife and the ecosystem.” Member agencies include the Audubon Society, Denver Water, a variety of water and sanitation districts, several municipalities, the Denver Urban Water Partnership and many more. DUWP concerns itself with the entire South Platte River corridor, including the Barr-Milton watershed, which serves

King said discussion so far has focused on things like stream restoration and mitigating the effects of wildfire — coincidentally, as she was speaking, the Lime Gulch fire raged just a few miles from Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, where the meeting was held. Vlier explains that most pollutants are from things like deteriorating septic systems, streambank and shoreline erosion, runoff from wildfire burn areas, and livestock-management practices along environmentally sensitive stream corridors. Larry Vickerman, director of the botanic gardens, said his particular focus is on restoration of Deer Creek, which runs through the property. “If you really look at Deer Creek, especially through Chatfield, it’s severely degraded,” he said. He has plans for a native seed garden, to preserve plant and tree species indigenous to the region. Non-native species are taking hold and overrunning the ecosystems, he said. “Restoration starts with having the plant
National forests impose fire limits Staff report All of Pike and San Isabel national forests are currently under Stage 1 fire restrictions. The two forests extend into 14 Colorado counties, and nearly a quarter of Douglas County falls in Pike National Forest. The Stage 1 Ban means that fires are only allowed in constructed, permanent fire pits or grates within developed recreation sites. The use of portable stoves, gas lanterns, jellied petroleum, pressurized liquid fuel or a fully enclosed stove with a quarter-inch spark arrester type screen is also permitted. Smoking is prohibited in the forests, except in an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials. Use of chain saws is only allowed with a USDA- or SAE-approved spark arrester, a chemical pressurized fire extinguisher on hand and a round-point shovel with an overall length of at least 35 inches readily available for use. In addition, welding and other torches are only permitted with at

Visitors are encouraged to be cognizant of weather conditions and to careful with any use of fire outdoors. Prior to use of fire, forest visitors are also asked to check with their local U.S. Forest Service office or visit www.fs.usda.gov/ psicc.
County elevates fire ban to Stage 2 Staff Report Douglas County has elevated its fire restrictions to Stage 2. The ban, which went into effect June 21, comes on the heels of a week that saw a four-acre brush fire break out in Highlands Ranch, the Lime Gulch Fire burn 500 acres in adjacent Jefferson County and a handful of other fires around the state. Under the ban, the use of personal and professional fireworks is prohibited as is open burning of any kind; use of fires in
chimineas, other portable fires or patio fire pits; and campfires at developed campgrounds or picnic areas. Allowable activities are limited to the use of personal charcoal and gas grills, liquid- or gas-fueled fire pits or other gas- or liquid-fueled appliances. Violation of any of the fire restrictions is considered a Class 2 petty offense and is punishable by up to a $1,000 fine. More information on fire restriction stages can be located at www.douglas.co.us.
Half-marathon needs volunteers Staff report The first-ever Castle Rock Half Marathon is set to begin at 7 a.m. June 29 in Castle Rock. Racers will start downtown and take a town tour before running along the East Plum Creek Trail. The route has nominal elevation gains and losses, according to a town news release. Most of it will take place along Plum Creek and town open space.
The entry fee is $60. For those not wanting to run 13.1 miles, a shorter five-mile race is planned. The entry fee is $30.

Police dogs’ pals do their part Walk, barbecue help raise funds for bulletproof vests By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcolorado news.com Tails were wagging everywhere one looked as nearly 100 dog lovers and supporters —— and their dogs — hit the trail at Hidden Mesa Open Space in Franktown to support the safety of two of the Douglas County’s Sheriff’s Office’s five working dogs. The Wag Your Tail Dog Walk and Barbecue June 22
helped raise $3,000 of the necessary $4,500 to purchase Kevlar vests for Zoos and Doc, the two newest dogs in the unit. The event, organized by the Friends of Douglas County K-9 Foundation, was used not only to raise money for the vests, but to educate the public on the K-9 unit. “We wouldn’t be able to have the necessary tools we need to be successful and safe if it wasn’t for the donations we receive,” said Deputy Greg Black, who had the unfortunate experience of having one of his dogs wounded by gunfire in

While the sheriff’s department funds many of the necessary items for the dogs, the foundation formed in 2011 to help take care of other costs, such as the purchase of bulletproof vests and the continuation of veterinary care for the retired dogs. “We saw a need to help replace the dogs that were retiring, to help care for the retired dogs and that the dogs need equipment,” said veterinarian David Swieckowski, who has been caring for the county’s dogs at the Franktown Animal Clinic for 17 years. In the past two years, the foundation has raised close to $176,000 to help the Douglas County K-9 Unit attend outside trainings with some of the world’s top trainers; purchase training equipment, supplies and veterinary care; and purchase Zoos, Doc and the third-newest member of the unit, Tank. In addition to the important police work the dogs do, Deputy Paul Montville said the most important aspect of their jobs is “their ability to be ice breakers and act like a go-between”
The June 22 Wag Your Tail Dog Walk and Barbecue raised $3,000 for the Friends of Douglas County K-9 Foundation. The money will help pay for bulletproof vests for the two newest dogs on the sheriff’s K-9 unit.

The county’s K-9 unit, established in 1989, is used primarily for narcotics work as well as some patrol work, helping deputies locate and catch suspects. “We are on call 24 hours, seven days a week,” Black said. “We’re basically paid chauffeurs. When that call comes in at 4 a.m. they don’t care about us, just the dogs.” If interested in donating to the Friends of Douglas County K-9 Foundation or learning more about the unit or foundation, please visit www.K9friends.org.

School election gearing up By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com More than four months in advance of the Douglas County School District board election, the buzz already is building. Four seats are up for grabs on the now reform-friendly, all-Republican board in November, including those belonging to John Carson, Doug Benevento, Carrie Mendoza and Meghann Silverthorn. Carson is termlimited and cannot run for re-election. Two candidates — Democrat Ronda Scholting and unaffiliated Nicholas Land — filed with the Secretary of State to upend Silverthorn; no other candidates have yet come forward. Silverthorn said she plans to run again. Benevento and Mendoza haven’t yet put their intentions on the record. Regardless, the campaigning to either retain or replace current candidates is underway. Some of it in public. Much of it behind closed doors. The board’s efforts at education reform — including a voucher program, dissolution of the teachers’ union agreement and a pay-for-performance plan — have ignited controversy in the community. The Douglas County Republicans in February set up an education committee with a stated purpose to “recruit school board candidates” and create “strategy for school board election.” A second committee soon will begin interviewing potential board candidates. Former board candidate and DCSD spokeswoman Susan Meek, who is often critical of the board and district, recently announced she’ll devote her time to help candidates she supports get elected. A group called Voices for Public Education, sponsored by anti-school-voucher plaintiffs Taxpayers for Public Education, this month started a series of pro-public education speakers’ events slated to run between now and the election. Another group, originally launched only as a Facebook page called DougCo Champions for Kids, is sponsoring a series of public meetings designed to share the school district’s viewpoints on various issues. “I think there is so much misinformation out there it’s having an effect on teacher morale,” said board supporter Franceen Thompson, a district captain with the Douglas County Republicans and volunteer with DougCo Champions for Kids. “If we can just get the facts out there, and get a better understanding of what’s going on, I think that will help.” Teachers’ union representatives are speaking at house parties about ongoing DCSD issues and the upcoming election. “We talk about what’s happening,” said Brenda Smith, president of the Douglas County Federation teachers’ union. “We
present the information. We talk about our survey, the decline and the culture of climate, the number of teachers that have actually left.” The words of people on both sides of the county’s education issues are serious and often dire in tone. “Our education system in the county is really in danger,” Taxpayers for Public Education president Cindy Barnard, a voucher opponent, said before author Angela Engel launched the Voices series June 18. “In Douglas County, due to our demographics, we are at ground zero for this experiment in public education.” “In my opinion, we can’t afford to lose a single seat. Not one,” Thompson said. Statements both accurate and false are broadcast in public meetings and on a variety of Facebook pages. During a recent Coffee for Conservatives meeting in Franktown, organizer Margo Knutson said the union and its affiliates plan to spend $8 million during the school board elections. Smith said that’s not accurate. “The answer is, I don’t know yet. ... Teachers want a school board member that supports neighborhood schools,” she said. Smith said board members often incorrectly point to the union as the cause of parent-led protests and meetings. The union’s long-standing collective bargaining agreement with the district expired in 2012. “That’s what sells and they think that’s what gives it negativity,” she said. “Union or not, you have a very large population of teachers that are dissatisfied with the direction of the school district. They have a really hard time accepting that fact.” Douglas County Republican chairman Craig Steiner said he will make details about the group’s role in the election public in about a month. Though most board candidates in past elections were Republicans, Steiner said, “We’re not just of one mind.” “The school board’s been doing a lot of good things over the last four years and those things are consistent with what we’d like to see happen in education,” he said. “We’d like to see a school board continue to do those things, and we’re looking for Republicans that are there to support the things the board is trying to do.” Advocates on both sides of the school district issues sometimes use the same phrases to explain their concerns. Meek is among many concerned with district decisions who said she wants to restore the parent voice to the conversation. Thompson, meanwhile, said the atmosphere in the school district has changed for the better under the current administration and board. “Now I think parents have more of a voice than they’ve ever had before,” she said.

Funeral Facts
J.R. Pinon Olinger Andrews Caldwell Gibson Chapel
Q. What is the best piece of advice you would give someone about funerals? A. Very simply: be prepared. I don’t mean merely expect to have a funeral, but to plan yours in advance – and in detail – with the help of a professional. The most difficult thing we see is families who are not prepared for the loss of a loved one. The surviving family members are forced to create a plan while they mourn, which can make an emotional situation worse. After all, there are over a hundred questions that need to be answered before a funeral can take place. That’s a lot to think about when you should be focused on coming together as a family. A lot of times, this difficulty prompts surviving family members to make plans for themselves, so they can spare their own loved ones from the added grief they just went through. If I could give a single piece of advice, this is what I would recommend to anyone. A plan can help your loved ones cope with the loss far better, allowing them to focus on what’s most important. We offer a free planning guide to help you complete this process, which you can then file with your funeral home so it’s ready when you need it. Jerald “J. R.” Pinon is the Location Manager at Olinger Andrews Caldwell Gibson Chapel, a member of the Dignity Memorial® network serving the Castle Rock community.

opinions / yours and ours
On July 4, have a blast, without fireworks Once again, it looks like many of Colorado’s communities are headed toward a Fourth of July without fireworks. Last year, arguably Colorado’s worst ever for wildfires, saw a statewide burning ban that prohibited fireworks. Already this year, fires have scorched tens of thousands of acres throughout the state. No statewide ban has been put in place as of yet, but make no mistake, Colorado is in emergency mode. In many counties, officials have taken common-sense, precautionary measures and instituted burning rules that, among other things, outlaw personal use and professional displays of fireworks. Unless the skies open up immediately and consistently, these bans are likely to
our view
remain in place at least through July 4. For many, that means, like last year, celebrating the holiday without one of our nation’s most treasured traditions. Yes, fireworks are fun. They have come to be seen as a sparkling, brilliant reminder of our independence. But much of Colorado is too dry, the conditions too ripe for danger, to risk it.
We see this as a necessary inconvenience. Moreover, we encourage residents to be diligent in following whatever restrictions their county or municipality has imposed. A single, carelessly discarded cigarette has been known to start a major wildfire. Certainly, flaming objects designed to explode in the air have the potential to create at least as much havoc. Consider some statistics from the National Fire Protection Association: In 2011, fireworks caused an estimated 17,8000 reported fires, including 1,200 total structure fires, 400 vehicle fires and 16,300 outside and other fires. These fires resulted in an estimated eight reported civilian deaths, 40 civilian injuries and $32 million in direct property damage. In a normal year, more
fires are reported on July 4 than on any other day, and fireworks are the major culprit, according to the association. Imagine the potential for disaster if errant fireworks landed in a wooded area of Colorado. It’s not worth the risk for a few minutes of viewing pleasure. And if doing the right thing for Coloradans’ safety isn’t enough, consider the potential damage to a scofflaw’s wallet. In unincorporated Douglas County, for example, setting off fireworks comes with up to a $1,000 fine. We could make a case that fines should be even stiffer. Independence Day is rooted in major sacrifice. Eating hot dogs and enjoying the company of family and friends without fireworks is a rather small one.
question of the week
What will you do for fun on July 4? With the cancellation of many professional fireworks displays due to stage 2 fire bans, we asked four residents of Highlands
Ranch at the 2013 Hawaiian Ho’olaule’a Summer Festival how they plan to have fun on the Fourth of July.
“I haven’t really thought about the Fourth of July yet. I have two young children, so it’s difficult for us to watch a fireworks display.” — Delaine Baker, Highlands Ranch “I will probably still have a fire in my backyard even with a fire ban because we don’t have any grass back there.” — Sam Rosean, Highlands Ranch
“I will probably get a bunch of friends together and run around at the park and have a dance competition.” — Tanner Steed, Highlands Ranch “I really don’t know. I haven’t figured that out yet. I usually watch the fireworks, but I’m sure I will find something to do.” — John Harada, Highlands Ranch
A fifth sense tells me where to shop When it’s time to go to the grocery store and pick up some dog food and strawberries, where do you go? And why? There are five good grocery stores ten minutes from my front door. I wind up at the same one most of the time. You’ll never guess why. They’re all convenient, so that isn’t it. Because one has the best coupons? I think coupons are a form of condescension. If you want to act like a gerbil and nibble coupons out of the newspaper, go ahead. The employees? If I stray from my favorite, that’s the reason. There’s a vegetable gentleman who knows his vegetables. There’s a woman in the deli who knows her deli. There’s a cute girl in meat and seafood. I’m fond of an employee who works at self-checkout. She and my sister have the same name. Value for my dollar? I am not very conscious of things like that. I should be. I’ll pay more for the item with the bestlooking label. If I lived in Nowhere, Colorado, I might not have a choice. There might be only one store in town, and it could an important hub in my life. That’s not true when you have five to choose from. Most of the time I shop and never say a word to anyone. I scowl now and then, when someone is myopically blocking the aisle. Or when it seems as if parents have brought their children in for Mickey Mouse Club auditions. You can’t shop for groceries online. You can to a point, but it’s not practical or timely to order a pumpkin that way. Or a banana. While we’re here: How long do your bananas last? Mine turn brown on the way home from the store. It seems. The reason why I shop at one store more than the others is the sound of music. I am not sure why there is music in grocery stores at all. Is it awkward if it’s too quiet around the crab cakes. Does music lubricate sales? All I know is that in four of the five stores, the music is abysmal. Most of the music is offensive, too loud, and chosen by Farmer Ted, Hallmark, or
someone named Dude. It doesn’t seem to matter. “Here is some music, on the house. It may be an irritant, but at least we were thinking of you.” No you weren’t. Stores spend a lot of money on marketing, but, like I said, Dude is the disc jockey. The shopping experience, if it must include music, is much better when it seems like someone cares what I am listening to, not just the stuff the feds used to try to flush out the Branch Davidians. One of the four stores began to play Christmas music before Thanksgiving. I can’t stand Christmas music to begin with. Five weeks of it is unbearable. I am not going to name names, but here’s a hint. In my favorite store, you can buy some of the music you have just listened to — in the checkout line. And another thing, you won’t hear some irksome recording telling you how great the place is over and over from the store’s speakers while you’re shopping. I asked someone who works in The Four how she could stand the music all day, and she said, “I tune it out.” What if the music contributed to the in-store experience, instead of being a perfunctory adjunct, as it is now? Who cares, right? I do. The world of music has never been more inclusive and brilliant. Employ someone to program it who sees that. And hears that.

Letter to the editor Real tragedy is what’s being done to schools
Regarding the June 14 article, “Protesters picket school fundraiser”: Comments by Douglas County School District officials regarding demonstrating parents couldn’t have been more hypocritical. Doug Benevento (school board member) and Cinamon Watson (DCSD spokeswoman and Douglas County Educational Foundation executive director) criticize parents for “politicizing” this event. Yet they and their colleagues had already politicized the event by inviting Colorado Rep. Frank McNulty to speak. They have put politics front and center in the district in recent years, bringing politicians like Ted Harvey and Chris Holbert into board meetings, with Holbert actually stated during one public meeting, “I’m here to remind you and thank you for allowing politics to be part of what you do in this district.” Mr. Benevento and Ms. Watson also call this effort by parents to make their voices heard “in poor taste,” “abysmal,” “over the line” and “tragic.” On the contrary, what’s really in poor taste is turning school board

meetings into political showcases in which parents and taxpayers who express concerns about the district are belittled and mocked. What’s really abysmal is cutting high school class time by over 10 hours per 1.0 credit class, when the money was there and the staff cuts weren’t required. This results in a truly tragic, minimum loss of over 240 hours of instructional time over a student’s high school years. What’s really over the line is the district’s refusal to listen to parents, answer simple questions about the contractual relationship with event organizers, and actually provide the transparency that they continue to boast about. What’s really tragic is the increased rates at which good teachers are leaving this district for others that treat them with respect. What’s happening to our school district under their leadership is tragic, and we parents are simply doing what we can to bring attention to the situation. Connie Davison Highlands Ranch

Bogus claims can’t hide school excellence I don’t know about you, but I am fed up with all the trumped-up attacks on Douglas County public schools by the AFL-CIO, ACLU and the cottage industry of prounion attack groups that have sprouted up across our community. When you read all the press accounts of it, you can’t help but wonder: Do Douglas County Schools belong to us, or to liberal special-interest groups like the ACLU and the AFL-CIO? Dougco schools are the national leader in public school innovation. While too many other school systems accept the all-too-mediocre status quo, we don’t. Not here. Our schools are the best in the nation. And it isn’t by accident. Our schools are world-class because of great teachers, great students, great parents and bold reform initiatives undertaken by our school board and superintendent. Unfortunately, liberal groups like the AFL-CIO and ACLU have fought reform here in Douglas County over the last several years at every step of the way. The ACLU sued to stop our school choice program. And the local affiliate of the AFL-CIO has harassed and harangued and badgered and bullied this district every time the school district turns on the lights. They call lots of press conferences; they file lots of frivolous lawsuits and record re-
quests; the union operatives do just about everything except promote good schools in Douglas County. I’m fed up. People often ask, why is the union always red-in-the-face mad at the Dougco school board and administration? And the answer is pretty simple — follow the money. Sure, the local education union hates bold reforms like performance pay, charters and scholarships. But the real reason the union is so viscerally opposed to the direction of this district is because its leaders did something that no other district in Colorado has — Dougco turned off the union money spigot. For 15 years, this school district had a sweetheart handshake deal with the union, under which classroom dollars were used to pay union salaries and travel expenses. Millions of dollars, in all, wasted on union fleecing. Imagine that: Classroom dollars
that could have been used to reduce class size or pay for school supplies, they went to union salaries and union trips instead. The local union, of course, was also skimming millions of dollars from teachers’ salaries and dumping the bulk of it into Democratic political campaigns. Well, last year the Douglas County school board and administration said no more. Not again. Dougco money will stay in teachers’ pockets, not campaign coffers; our classroom dollars will be spent in classrooms, not on big-dollar union salaries. This, of course, has the union hopping mad. And they are spreading all sorts of untrue nonsense. Why? They are bullying until they get their money back. The latest bogus charge of these liberal attack groups — that teachers are fleeing school districts en masse. Recently, a small handful of union teachers did in fact stage a “walkout”; the small group staged a protest to announce that were leaving, most to accept union jobs in neighboring districts. But even with this small, union-orchestrated walkout, Douglas County Schools has a teacher retention rate that beats the statewide average, according to the Colorado Department of Education. Union-friendly districts like Denver and Aspen schools have a much higher teacher
turnover rate than Dougco. Douglas County’s teacher retention rate is roughly the same as Cherry Creek Schools. And speaking of stubborn facts, there is one more fact that needs to be highlighted for all the union cronies busy trash-talking our school system — and that is that Douglas County is one of the best school districts in America. That is the big truth. Since our new school board and superintendent have taken over, our dropout rate has plummeted. This year, our ACT scores beat the statewide average by a full two points. Our graduation rate beats the national average by 10 points, and beats Colorado’s graduation rate by 12 points. One national analysis showed that Dougco is the top-ranked large school district in the state of Colorado — better than Denver, better than Boulder, better than Littleton, Jefferson County and even Cherry Creek. Those are the facts. And we want the state of Colorado to know. What we have in the Douglas County School District is special — that’s the truth that no big union lie can obscure. Randy Reed, a local business owner, runs the Douglas County Education Alliance, an organization promoting public school innovation in Douglas County.
‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is about accountability Probably one of the most recognized, overused, and abused break-up lines of all time, “It’s not you, it’s me.” For all of the Seinfeld fans out there, you will recall that in one episode Jason Alexander’s character, George Costanza, actually claimed that he invented this break-up maneuver when one of his love interests used the very same line on him when trying to end the relationship. And I know that many people still use this line or tactic to end relationships or let others down easy, or maybe both. I like the line for a different reason. Forgetting the overused and abused relationship and break-up analogy for a moment, how often have we used the very same line when deflecting blame for something we have done or have not done? Do we take accountability and own it, “It’s not you, it’s me?” Or do we reverse it and place the problem squarely on someone else, “It’s not me, it’s you?” I much prefer the original version, “It’s not you, it’s me.” Personal accountability is the first rung on the ladder of success. And it is not just when something has gone horribly wrong or where there is an opportunity to place or accept blame, it is also true when given an opportunity or challenge to tackle a big project or task. Strong leaders use this tactic all the time. And they use it in a couple of ways, one to lead by example and the other to give a team member a
June 27
chance to step up and demonstrate a competency or capability. In the example of leading by example or leading from the front, a good manager or leader may recognize that there is an opportunity for a teaching moment and they jump in and say, “Wait a minute, it’s not your turn yet, let me demonstrate this for you one more time, OK?” And then they show their employee or team member the proper way to execute a specific job or function. Especially when there could be a safety concern. And conversely, the employee may feel that they are ready to demonstrate their readiness and capabilities and use the very same line, “I’ve got this boss, it’s not you, it’s my turn.” And so the strong leader allows their team member to try. This is another teaching moment, just moving from the “doing” of everything for everyone, to “giving” an opportunity to learn and grow.
But even if we do reverse it, “It’s not me, it’s you,” this too can be used when a coach or leader calls upon an employee or team member to step up because they know that they are ready to give something a shot. “It’s not me this time, it’s you, it’s a big project but I am confident you can handle it.” Both situations allow for growth, ownership, success, and building a solid foundation to build upon. It’s only in times of blame or difficulties when we reverse the line and fall back on the comfortable crutch of “It’s not me,
it’s you,” that we stifle growth in ourselves and others as we deflect ownership and accountability. How have you used the line? Is it you? Or is it someone else? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and let’s make this a better than good week.

School-reform skeptics book speakers jreuter@ourcolorado news.com A speaker series organized by two women concerned about Douglas County’s education reform movement launched June 18 with author Angela Engel. The series will bring public education proponents to Douglas County between now and the November school board election Douglas County residents Stephanie Fuhr and Amy DeValk founded Voices for Public Education to bring national voices to the area’s ongoing education debate, Fuhr said. Taxpayers for Public Education, among the plaintiffs suing the Douglas County School District for its voucher program, are sponsoring Voices for Public Education. Engel, a former Douglas County teacher, spoke at Highlands Ranch’s Westridge Recreation Cen-
fail, as they try to hit high marks teaching students from disadvantaged socioeconomic homes, Engel argues. “They now are going to be slammed as under-performing teachers,” she said. Engel believes the impetus for education reform stems from faulty research and an inaccurate perception that the American education system is failing. Douglas County, she said, is “the test case” for education reform. “It’s important that we not assign blame but we really become aware of who the players are,” she said. “This is a battle that needs to be fought. It’s for our children. It’s not a Republican/Democrat issue. We just keep re-inventing the wheel; only the wheel keeps getting worse, and more expensive. “This reform movement is going to fail. It might take a long time. (But) there’s no evidence to support measuring learning improves education.” Education activist Peggy Robertson, next in the series, will speak at 6:30 p.m.

ter about her concerns for the future of public education. About 50 people, most of them Douglas County teachers, came to hear her speak. In her book, “Seeds of Tomorrow: Solutions for Improving our Children’s Education,” Engel argues against high-stakes testing like the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) and for a child-centered approach to education. She calls the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which links federal funding to standardized testing, a “corrupt and damaging policy.” “We’re starting to recognize high-stakes testing is a huge mistake,” she said. “Standards are an adult construct. When we impose our ways of learning and knowing, we rob (children) of discovering their own way of learning and knowing.” The act also requires states to provide highly qualified teachers to all students. That sets up teachers in poorer geographic areas to

Douglas County was one of three Colorado counties included in a U.S News and World Report study released June 11 that ranked America’s top 50 healthiest counties for kids. Ranked at No. 8, Douglas was one spot behind Boulder County. Larimer County also made the list, coming in at No. 48. The study’s criteria evaluated, among other things, air quality, percentage of uninsured children, rates of adult smoking and obesity, access to physicians and parks, as well as rates of infant deaths, low-birthweight babies, death resulting from injury, teen births and children in poverty. Developed with the help of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, the study examined roughly 1,200 of the nation’s 3,143 counties and county equivalents such as Louisiana’s parishes. California’s Marin County was ranked No. 1.

The unions say that teachers are fleeing douglas county, but the numbers tell a different story! The AFL-CIO is smearing DougCo Schools. Why? Last year, the district stopped paying the salaries of union executives and stopped allowing unions to skim teachers’ salaries for political campaigns. And now they’re mad. The unions want the money back. Their latest charge - teachers are fleeing DougCo in large numbers. But check the facts. A handful of union-backed teachers did announce they’re leaving DougCo, most to go teach in pro-union districts. Still, DougCo has a teacher retention rate of 87%, better than the state average, even better than union-friendly districts like Aspen and Denver. Cherry Creek has more teacher vacancies than DougCo Schools.
DougCo Schools are #1. Don’t believe the union hype! www.studentsnotunions.com

Two charters gain conditional approval Elementaries both plan focus on foreign language

education they possibly could.’
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two elementary charter schools that focus on teaching foreign languages gained conditional approval June 18 to open their doors in Douglas County. The World Compass Academy, negotiating now for property in Castle Rock, plans to open for the 201415 school year. Global Village Academy, seeking land in northeast Douglas County for its fifth Colorado site, would follow a year later. The Douglas County School Board gave both conditional approval, and the schools still must meet several requirements — including enrollment of a minimum number of students and hiring principals — before getting a final nod. World Compass and Global Village were among
Bethany Merkling six charters that submitted letters of intent to DCSD in March. The others — including John Adams High School, Parker Performing Arts School and Colorado Early Colleges high school — chose not to move forward this year or failed to meet district criteria, according to DCSD’s development and innovation officer, Pat McGraw. Students at Global Village Academy, which opened in Aurora in 2007, spend at least half of each day immersed in Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, French or German. Global Village opened a Northglenn campus two years ago, and this fall will open schools in Colorado

Springs and Fort Collins. Douglas County was a natural choice for its fifth campus, CEO Christina Howe said. “We have had up to 55 students coming from Parker to our Aurora campus and there have been multiple-year requests to please open a school in Douglas County,” she said. “We do consider ourselves part of the portfolio of school choice the district is offering.” Howe said typical language programs teach students to “train and menu” proficiency levels, giving them enough mastery to travel by train or order from a menu in a foreign country. By eighth grade, Howe said, Global Village students’ foreign language skills are equivalent to a first-year high school student in the language’s native country. Global Village seeks land along the Interstate 25 corridor, likely on its east side. World Compass Acad-
emy, founded by a former Douglas County teacher, will include early foreign language education in French, Mandarin and Spanish and a researchbased curriculum its website describes as challenging. Bethany Merkling taught at a charter school in Utah and at DCSD’s American Academy. Now a stay-athome mom, Merkling said she found long waiting lists at area charter schools. “I wanted to make sure (my kids) had the opportunity to have the best education they possibly could, and to be able to learn a foreign language in kindergarten,” Merkling said. “I studied in France, and I’ve got some really strong ideas. I want to take the best from all the schools I attended.” World Compass board members include natives of Switzerland, Hong Kong and Thailand among others, bringing the international viewpoints Merkling sees as key to the school’s success. The school will serve pre-K through fourth grades upon its opening, adding a grade level annually to eventually become a K-8 school. To date, more than 200 parents have submitted intent-to-enroll forms for World Compass, Merkling said.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for people you work with? Personal bonds - I’m the person they entrust with delicate information and desires. Real Estate can be simultaneously stressful and exciting. It’s a considerable decision for people and I find it personally fulfilling when we mesh as a team to accomplish a goal. This relationship, on many occasions, has led to friendships that endure long past the closing dates.
Office: 303-713-9000 Mobile: 303-507-3392 CarlaChCk@gmail.com www.cherrycreekpropertiesllc.com Where were you born? I am a Colorado native and grew up in the “burbs” with our beautiful State as my backyard. I’ve lived in the city, where the exhilaration of Downtown breathes excitement - the mountains both in Victorian Georgetown, and Evergreen, with grandeur and wildlife around every corner then ultimately, to the breathtaking valley of Douglas County.
What is the most challenging part of what you do? Wanting to be in two places at one time.
How long have you lived in the area? In the Denver-Metro area, I’ve spent more years than I care to count so let’s tally the good times had. Douglas County captivated me years ago, and charming Castle Rock has been “home” for over 13 years.
What is one tip for someone looking to sell a home? Prepare yourself mentally for a change. A home has many memories not easily parted with. Honor the past by choosing to remember everything good and direct your thoughts to the adventure that awaits you. What is one tip for someone looking to buy a house? Enjoy the hunt!

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? Nothing unusual so I’ll share my most recent favorite. While showing a house in Parker, three bucks traveling together came within a few feet of the home. We all stood in awe, quietly watching.
What do you like most about it? Douglas County is an enigma to be experienced rather than explained. It’s a diverse area immersed in rich, Colorado heritage. From historic sites to the people who live here, whether you wish to observe the splendor or choose to be a piece of the

‘What we’re trying to do is help minimize the impact of the disease, trying to make them feel better for a longer period of time until we find that next magic bullet.’
By Jane reuter

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

In tornado country, what goes around comes around DIA twister is reminder of Colorado weather patterns By Kevin Vaughan and Burt Hubbard I-News Network
The tornado sighting that set off alarms and frightened passengers at Denver International Airport on June 18 was a startling reminder that Colorado is indeed twister country. Since 1950, only six other states have experienced more tornadoes than the 1,948 documented here, an I-News examination of federal weather data found. And two of the state’s fastest-growing counties — Weld and Adams, which surrounds DIA — had the most tornadoes during that 63-year span. Combined, they accounted for 410 tornadoes, more than one of every five. In addition, the Weld County town of Windsor experienced the most destructive twister in state history. And then there’s the airport sitting on the high plains 25 miles from downtown Denver. On an average day, DIA sees about 145,000 passengers, and at any given time as many as 20,000 people may be in the terminal and concourses. Officials there are keenly aware that the airport could become a tornado bull’s-eye at any given time. “We followed protocol and everything went very smoothly,” Laura Coale, director of media relations at DIA, said the day after the recent tornado. There were no reported injuries, damage or calls for paramedics, she said. The tornado was preliminarily rated an EF1 by the National Weather Service, and touched down between two runways on the airport’s east side.
DIA has safe spaces
Even in practice scenarios that assumed backed-up traffic at DIA with larger passenger loads, the airport has a safe place for everyone. In addition to the bathrooms and stairwells, the airport can evacuate people to the underground baggage tunnels if necessary, officials have said. On May 8, 1975 — long before DIA was even conceived — an F3 tornado touched down near 56th Avenue and Picadilly Road and tracked to the northeast. It was on the ground for four miles and was a quartermile wide. Back then, the area was farmland, and the twister did no damage. But if that historic tornado had been the one to hit June 18, it could have been a different story. That tornado’s track went directly across present-day Pena Boulevard, across a runway and into the west-side parking lot next to the main terminal. While it’s true that tornadoes are much more common in Colorado than one might realize, it’s equally true that they are not likely to pack the power of those that hit farther east — such as the destructive and deadly twisters that ravaged parts of Oklahoma in May. “They certainly do occur in Colorado,” said Josh Wurman, of the Center for Severe Weather Research in Boulder. “Sometimes they can be quite major — there have been famous tornadoes, like the Limon tornado and the Windsor tornado, which have caused a lot of damage. There probably have been a lot of tornadoes capable
of causing F4-, F5-type damage that just have churned through open rangeland, and prior to recent decades not have even been reported at all, even as a tornado.”
State racks up twisters
An I-News examination of data since 1950 kept by the National Weather Service showed that Colorado experiences frequent if not always powerful tornadoes: • Five of the 10 counties with the most tornadoes were along the Front Range. In addition to Weld and Adams, they included El Paso, Arapahoe and Elbert counties. • Despite their frequency, tornadoes have killed only five people in Colorado since 1950 — two people near Holyoke in 1960, two people in Holly in 2007, and one person in Windsor in 2008. • A total of 283 residents have been injured by 53 tornadoes since 1950. More than 40 percent of the injuries came from two tornadoes — the Windsor tornado, which injured 78, and one in Thornton in 1981, which injured 42. • The greatest concentration of tornadoes took place in the four-year time period from 1990 to 1993, spawning 283 twisters — or about one of every seven recorded since 1950. However, recordkeeping in the 1950s and 1960s may have undercounted tornados. The national database shows only one tornado taking place in 1959 and only two each in 1950 and 1964. • At least 10 tornadoes have caused $1 million or more in damage. Beginning in 1971, tornadoes in the United States were categorized on what was known as the Fujita Scale, a six-step ranking — from F0, the weakest, to F5, the strongest. The different categories accounted for potential for damage inflicted by a particular tornado. In 2007, the Enhanced Fujita Scale was adopted, which updated the rating system to include a specific range of wind speed for each category of tornadoes. The new system ranked tornadoes from EF0, the weakest, to EF5, the most powerful.
Few powerful tornadoes
Since 1950, a tornado rated either F5 or EF5 has never been recorded in Colorado. Only one twister was rated as either F4 or EF4 — a twister in 1977 in Baca County — and 21 were categorized as either F3 or EF3. The rest were less powerful — 111 that were F2 or EF2; 531 that were F1 or EF1; and 1,229 that were F0 or EF0, including a small but dramatic tornado that startled motorists at nearly 12,000 feet on Mount Evans road last July 28. An additional 55 of the state’s tornadoes were listed as “unknown.” “The good news is that the vast majority of our tornadoes are weak — EF0, EF1 — so those winds go up to maybe 130 mph or so, and those tornadoes don’t cause a lot of damage,” said Bob Glancy, the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Boulder office. Two EF5 twisters that hit the Oklahoma City area in late May took more than 30 lives and injured nearly 500 people — one in the town of Moore, and one near the town of El Reno that took the lives of two well-respected Colorado storm chasers. At one point that twister was 2.6 miles across — the widest ever recorded.
TORNADO FACTS AND FIGURES SINCE 1950
Those tornadoes were part of large, rotating storms known as supercells — which are much more common east of Colorado. They are less likely to occur here, in part because moisture flowing north from the Gulf of Mexico doesn’t often reach Colorado. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be big trouble here.

Windsor storm unusual
“Nothing’s impossible in meteorology, and the Windsor storm is an example,” Glancy said. That tornado, which touched down about 11:30 a.m. on May 22, 2008, was rated an EF3 and it was unusual in many respects — it hit before noon, it was a mile wide, it was on the ground for 38 miles, and it traveled from the southeast to the northwest. It also killed one person, injured 78 others and inflicted $147 million in property damage, making it the most destructive tornado in state history. “It wasn’t an EF5, but that’s an example of what could happen here,” Glancy said. The I-News analysis also found that twisters that in decades past hit harmlessly in open land could have different consequences if they hit the same places today. On May 20, 1961, for example, a twister hit open land just outside Castle Rock where the Douglas County Courthouse stands today, and on July 19, 1985, another touched down on land where Lone Tree’s Sky Ridge Medical Center is now located. While there’s no way to predict the future, it’s inevitable that the state will experience more tornadoes. Still, Wurman, the Boulder-based weather researcher, said he’d advise people to be aware but also not overreact. There’s no reason to dig a hole in the backyard and construct a tornado shelter, he said. “If I were going to list ways to spend your money to stay safe, I would list getting a new car with better air bags higher than building a tornado shelter, because that’s more likely to save your life than a tornado shelter,” he said. “A tornado is pretty unlikely to be your cause of death,” he added, “whether or not you live in Colorado, or in Oklahoma and Kansas, because the number of people killed every year in tornadoes, typically, is less than 100. “People shouldn’t live in fear of tornadoes.”

A
lmost as soon as the hustle and bustle arrives for the Parker Days Festival, it moves on to the next town. The work involved with creating the temporary village of stages, booths and carnival rides is staggering. Structures tower over downtown Parker, making for an odd, albeit short-lived, skyline. Joyful noises and wonderful smells pour from Mainstreet and O’Brien Park. The time and effort involved in making sure everything goes according to plan is no easy feat either. Events Etc., an event planning firm hired by the Parker Chamber of Commerce, made a few minor tweaks to the configuration that helped foot traffic flow more smoothly for this year’s festival, with rides starting June 13 and the three-day event running June 14-16. Delightful weather also was part of the recipe for success in 2013. Attendance at this year’s Parker Days Festival closely matched numbers from 2012. Dan Rodriguez, president of the Parker chamber, said 120,000 to 140,000 people attended the three-day festival and sales figures closely matched those seen in 2012. Organizers saw a “substantial increase” in traffic on Friday after scheduling the headlining music act then instead of Saturday, but Saturday remained the busiest day, Rodriguez said. Sunday attendance was down roughly 10-20 percent, partly because of light early afternoon rain showers and the fact that it was Father’s Day. More carnival rides, an improved
Cherry Hills Country Club General Manager Kevin Hood, who saved a man’s life earlier this year, recently received the Metropolitan Golf Writers Association’s Mary Bea Porter Award. The honor was bestowed at the MGWA’s 62nd national awards dinner June 18 in Tarrytown, N.Y. Hood was honored for saving the life of Cherry Hills member John Moore. Responding to a “code blue” call on Jan. 29, Hood administered CPR to the 87-year-old Moore, who had fallen and hit his head, causing his tongue to block his airway. Hood performed chest compressions and other life-saving measures. After a 10-day hospital stay, Moore recovered and returned to Cherry Hills to enjoy his club membership. Colorado Avid Golfer magazine first reported the news. The award is named for Mary Bea Porter, a former LPGA Tour pro who left the course in the middle of a qualifying round of the 1988 Samaritan Turquoise Classic in Phoenix to save a drowning 3-year-old boy at a home adjacent to a fairway. Hood, 52, is in his eighth year at Cherry Hills. He was a starting linebacker at the University of Colorado and former pro football player with the Denver Gold of the USFL.
Cabela’s carves niche in area
Former Parker resident Taylor Crawford, who has been a regular at the Parker Days Festival for 10 years, teaches his 15-month-old son Keaton how to wave at the parade participants. Photos by Chris Michlewicz sound system, and a change to the VIP tent were the result of notes taken by event officials last year. “The changes made things more comfortable,” Rodriguez said. “We got great responses from people who attended with the entertainment choices, the buskers in downtown, pretty much everything.” The festival generates $75,000 to $100,000 for the Parker Chamber of Commerce, which uses the proceeds on mem-
ber programs throughout the year. It also generated an estimated $2.5 million economic impact for the surrounding businesses. Space has become tighter because of increased development, but Rodriguez said the festival could extend east in the downtown district. When the vacant land is developed, the chamber might have to have discussions about moving the festival, although Rodriguez said those talks are at least two years out.

Peak 7 Vodka a big hit
Denver’s own Peak 7 Vodka made a splash recently into the Colorado microspirits market. The seven-time distilled Peak 7, made at Mile High Distillery, comes onto the scene on the heels of a medalwinning performance at the 2013 Denver International Spirits Contest March 2 and 3. Twelve prominent spirits professionals judged the double-blind tasting, and Peak 7 Vodka was awarded a bronze for best vodka. “We are Colorado people who want to make a vodka that reflects the culture and vibrancy of Denver and the Rocky Mountains,” said Peak 7 co-founder Dave Collier. “We think Colorado’s the best place on earth you can live, and the best place on earth to make great vodka.” Peak 7 Vodka is currently available at Mondo Vino in Denver’s Highland Parker continues on Page 27

Artist joins sculpture, fashion, performance Nick Cave introduces ‘Sojourn’ in Denver By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com It’s colorful, whimsical, engaging, multisensory, mind-bending …. Internationally acclaimed artist Nick Cave was in Denver to introduce his new exhibit, “Sojourn,” at the Denver Art Museum through Sept. 22. It’s a major piece of the campus-wide “SPUN,” a multi-faceted look at textiles, tied in with the opening of new textile galleries on the sixth floor of the North Building. The ebullient Cave led a walk through the exhibit on June 6, offering some insight on how he thinks to assemble an astonishing collection of sculptural works, which often start with a thrift store or flea market find. He continually visits these markets around the world. To the left of the entrance to the secondfloor Anschutz Galleries is a screen showing dancers in Cave’s trademark bodysuits. The entry and first gallery are wallpapered in a bright red design, created with images of the colorful vintage ceramic birds that inhabit Cave’s world. An antique baptisIf you go mal font is the basis for a sculptural piece, “Sojourn” is on the topped with a fantastic second floor of the branching structure Hamilton Building filled with birds, flowat the DAM through ers and miscellany.

A platform runs the length of the gallery, carrying figures in white bodysuits — each different, most covered with buttons. The face on one is made from a burial wreath found at a Paris flea market. “The button is a way of embellishment, a way of
Bodysuits made of white materials are installed under a canopy of buttons in Nick Cave’s “Sojourn” exhibit. Courtesy photo adorning the body,” Cave observed. Craftsmanship is meticulous throughout the exhibit. Cave has about eight assistants who come with the needed skills to the studio in the loft building where he lives, and he contracts with fabricators in the Chicago area who understand his methods and design sense. Materials include fabrics, metals, knickknacks, wood, furniture pieces and much more. “The level of commitment to quality is the way I feel the work has to be handled,” Cave said. Next, viewers see a huge tonga, a round piece, called “Constellation,” created from black, sparkly bits of sweaters and other garments, sewn together and stretched
on a frame. He was thinking of childhood nights on the farm where he and his six brothers would lie on their backs looking at the starry sky. A departure from the trademark Soundsuits — wearable fabric sculptures — is a series he calls “Rescues.” It opens a “new vocabulary and another form of commitment.” It started with finding a large white ceramic poodle — his assistant Bob Faust saw it — and then they found a regal plaster Doberman. “We’ve got to find a gold sofa,” Cave decided, and tells of asking a shop owner if he could bring his dog in to try it out. That Doberman is in the show with an arched canopy including a chande-
lier, branches, flowers and more — as are five other dogs and a monkey — all rescued and in protective spaces. A series of four huge “paintings” appear together, also assemblages of many objects and each backed by an afghan. “I was thinking about fashion, the opulence of life — just glam. Then the more mystical and magical …” Finally, the viewer enters “Drive By,” a darkened room with videos of dancers in Soundsuits and images of his often-used crocheted doilies on the floor. (We observed delighted children trying to hop from one to another. This exhibit is a wonderful introduction to art for young ones.)

Coral gets collaborative Crochet project on display in ‘Spun’ exhibit at DAM By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Spun,” the textile-focused menu of exhibits at the Denver Art Museum, includes the Institute For Figuring’s charming, mostly colorful, Crochet Coral Reef Project. The little sculptural clusters are displayed on pedestals in both the Hamilton and the North buildings, leading the way from one gallery to the next. Sisters Christine and Margaret Wertheim, who grew up in Australia, conscious of the coral reefs along the coast and concerned about their fragility, started the IFF in 2005. The organization is now located in Los Angeles. The IFF has about 40 contributors worldwide and has helped to raise concern about these endangered organisms. The Wertheims have crocheted about half of the pieces themselves and curated the collection as it grew. See how many cases you can locate throughout the museum. Look for the tiny critters that inhabit the reefs. The inspiration came from “hyperbolic crochet,” discovered in 1997 by Cornell University mathematician Daina Taimina,

The Wertheim sisters adopted Taimina’s techniques and elaborated on them “to develop a whole taxonomy of reef-life forms.” Loopy “kelps,” fringed “anemones,” crenelated “sea slugs” and curlicued “corals” have all been modeled with these methods.” Jenna Madison of the DAM Education Department said this is the largest collaborative art project in the world. It has been exhibited in many venues. “It came on our radar screen and we thought, wouldn’t it be great to have it here for SPUN,” Madison said. “So emails and calls went back and forth, as arrangements fell into place.

Rocky Mountain Praise Choir seeking singers Goal is to get 250 to 350 volunteers to take part in Aug. 11 concert By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Jerry Nelson, pianist, composer, conductor and arranger, seeks singers to perform with him at an Aug. 11 concert at Denver First Church of the Nazarene. “The Rocky Mountain Praise Choir was established in the early 1990s and we did a concert and produced a CD about every two years until about 2000,” Nelson, a Centennial resident, said. “People have been asking, ‘Is the Rocky Mountain Praise Choir history?’ Obviously, the answer is no, as we will be back in concert Aug. 11.” He said singers can receive more information about how to become part of the choir by sending an e-mail to Rachael@jerrynelsonmusic.com. “All singers who register will be sent a compact disc and music so they can rehearse on their own,” Nelson said. “We haven’t set the date, but I expect we will hold our first group rehearsal in early July and there will be a second one about 10 days later. That leaves about three weeks for singers to rehearse individually before we have a dress rehearsal Aug 10.” There will be no charge for admission but an offering will be taken. However, concert-goers who want to assured a seat can purchase reserved seats in the artists circle near the stage as well as tickets guaranteeing a seat if the performance is sold out.

Sp locat orad Line direc daug also is releasing a new compact disc at thefor a Aug. 11 performance called “Quiet Time Reflections” which is a collection of music performed by Nelson on the piano. He noted that a large portion of the proceeds from concerts and compact disc sales enable him and his wife, Rachael, to occasionally make trips to the Congo and Zimbabwe. On those African trips, Jerry performs concerts and his wife works with AIDS victims training youth peer groups. Together they also work on humanitarian programs such as economic water purification and the education for promising young people. Nelson noted the program for the concert would be a bit different than past performances. “Most of our past concerts included Broadway themes and popular songs along with songs of the church,” he said. “But the music for the Aug. 11 concerts will be traditional hymns of the church and gospel songs. Most people know the words to these songs so we will urge members of the audience to sing along with us.” He said he is hopeful the Aug. 11 event will be the first concert in a series of performances he and the Rocky Mountain Praise Choir will do at locations around Colorado and perhaps at venues in surrounding states. Jerry Nelson took his first piano lesson at seven, spent a decade in public school music before he became the Artist-in-Residence at Denver First Church of the Nazarene. Over the years, he created 5,000 arrangements, has written more than 50 songs and performed piano concerts nationally and internationally.

‘Unplugged’ weddings are trend with brides Couples ask plugged-in guests to leave cameras, phones at home By Deborah Grigsby
dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com In a plugged-in world, even the most techno-savvy brides are asking wedding guests to ditch the digital cameras and cell phones and simply “be present.” “Unplugged” weddings are gaining in popularity among trendy couples who want friends and family to share in their special moment without digital distractions. Alysson Graham, who lives in San Diego but will be married this fall in Littleton, has been planning her wedding for about 18 months. Every detail, from the dress, to flowers, to the way she and her new husband will leave the venue, has been meticulously researched and choreographed. “I have waited for this day all my life and I want it to be perfect,” said Graham. “And I don’t want cell phones, beeps, dings and fake camera sounds ruining the moment.” So Graham will announce in her invitations that friends, family and even dogs are welcome, but phones and cameras are not. Online bridal publications like “The Offbeat Bride” are helping push the trend and have even provided downloadable art and copyright-free verbiage for
brides wanting to pull the cord. While some wedding guests may not be so happy with what wedding planners are calling the new “chic,” wedding photographers are downright elated. Photographer Jenn Hafelfinger, who has a large client base in the South Metro Denver area, thinks the move is long overdue. “I think the concept is fantastic and I wish more brides would consider going unplugged,” said Hafelfinger, who owns Cherished Snapshots in Loveland. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to compete with family members who feel it’s their job to be the photographer, too.” Hafelfinger says in the end, it’s the client who suffers. “I understand it’s an exciting time, but too many cameras become a distraction,” she said. “People don’t know where to look; there’s multiple flashes going off and that makes it a real challenge to get those pristine, magazine-like photos all the brides want.” And while she admits much of the frenzy may be driven by the immediacy of social media apps, Hafelfinger said cell phone cameras in dark venues rarely produce quality images. “I totally see the point with keeping people out of the photos,” said Graham. “However, for me, it’s more important that my friends and family are emotionally — not digitally — connected with me on my wedding day. Seriously, just turn it all off and enjoy the day with us.”

Summer 7-on-7 scrimmages are a little like reality television shows with unscripted situations and events. The touch football competition using quarterbacks, receivers, linebackers and defensive backs doesn’t reflect the reality of a real football game, but the competitive venues help players to sharpen throws, refine passing routes and polish coverage techniques. “This is where everybody gets to see their mistakes,” said Chaparral quarterback Kyle Gallup. “What we take from here, we take back to school, work on it and fit it for August when practice starts. We can’t have the mistakes we have out here when it comes to game time because there is no forgiveness then.” Chaparral and Mountain Vista were two of the 64 teams from all classifications that participated in the annual Denver Broncos 7-on-7 tournament June 19-22 at All-City Stadium and Dove Valley. Both Continental League teams are seeking a starting quarterback for next season. Gallup and Cole Lehman, both juniors, are the leading contenders to replace Chap-

Smith, 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, will be a senior for the Huskies this fall and plans to sign a letter of intent with the Rams on Feb. 6. He gained 1,732 yards on 203 carries last season, averaging 173.2 yards a game and 8.53 yards per carry. Smith rushed for 17 touchdowns. He caught 16 passes for 213 years and one TD. His versatility was enhanced with 198 yards on kickoff returns during his junior campaign. Last spring, Smith competed in track for the first time and was fourth in the Class 5A 100-meter dash. He had a best time of 10.6 in the preliminaries. Smith, who attended a CSU football team camp earlier this year, is also being courted by New Mexico and Wyoming.

She isn’t referring to the specialty advertising business she has with her husband Richard. Bowman was talking about her part-time job as a tennis referee. Bowman, a resident of the Pinery in Parker, has been a referee with the Colorado Tennis Umpires Association for the past 18 years and works college, junior, Colorado Tennis Association and Special Olympics tournament. She recently worked June 1523 at Denver City Open at the Denver Tennis Club. “I don’t do it for the money,” said Bowman, who earns $100 for an eight-hour shift. “It’s kind of in my backbone, as they say. I just really enjoy it. It’s a long season, there are a lot of hours. We are sometimes on our feet 10-12 hours a day, four or five days in a row. Once I’m here, I love watching.” Bowman, 58, is a former racquetball player who migrated to tennis. “I started playing tennis when I was 40,” Bowman said. “I played off and on recreationally. In racquetball, I competed a lot. So I thought I’d better learn the rules of tennis. I attended class because I didn’t want to play in any women’s leagues and not know the rules. One of the hardest things was learning the rules.
“I looked into refereeing and joined the (umpires’) organization and they started booking me.” Referees in tennis ensure competition is fair under International Tennis Federation rules. Referees have the final say in questions of tennis law, help directors with tournament draws, suspend play because of weather and other conditions, reside over medical timeouts and control the conduct of players, coaches and spectators. “Any kind of tournament should have a head referee,” explained Bowman. “ When I do the state in September at Gates, we have three because they have a lot more courts and they are spread out. “As the head referee I have to be in charge of helping the tournament director set up the brackets, because everything falls on my shoulders. If somebody is late, I put the clock on them, there are penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct and the defaults are all on the referee. The final decisions are all on our shoulders. Sometimes they are not real fun, but we have to do it.” In tournaments like the Denver City Open, which Bowman worked with a deputy referee, most of the courts are easily visible, so matches can be watched. Until the finals, players make line calls, which can lead to disputes. “I’m on the mentoring committee and we train as much as we can,” said Bowman. “So I exaggerate to not let it escalate. We are there but we shouldn’t be intrusive. We should be visible so they are more conscious about line calls, don’t have any discussions with the player, be civil and call them if you see them. “You’ve got to know the rules, you have
to be firm and call them like you see them. You have to be unbiased, yet you have to be a friend, you’re there to help. I always get a lot of questions. People come up to me and say, `I have a question for you, this happened to me last night.’ I like to document and give the person a reference just to make sure they know what I’m talking about.” Bowman, who also doubles sometimes as a chair umpire, roved around the Denver Tennis Club facility checking on matches. “The players know who I am,” said Bowman. “The players know what I will tolerate. I will call foot faults, behavior and cautions. I could be walking down this way and somebody will cuss. I’ll walk over to the fence and give them a real dirty look and they’ll say `sorry about that.’ Bowman is used to verbal abuse from players and spectators. Some of the worst offenders are parents and college coaches. “You are always going to get yelled at,” she said. “I get dirty letters. I’ve seen players get out of control. A lot of times they will see an official on the court and they will watch themselves. If there is a scoring dispute, I’ll call them to the net. I’ll casually walk over because a lot of times they will work it out themselves if I give them a little time. “I’ll get yelled at, I’ll just call the score out and say serve it up. Some balls are way in or out and you have to call it. They (the players) are going to be in denial and blame you. They are going to blame the official for losing. I’ll just say the ball was out, serve it up. One more word and you’re out of here. “I get players that come up and kid me, `remember when you called this.’ We’re here to help. The last six or seven years maybe more players seem to feel at ease

He would get me so I would keep him calm.”

tle it out all summer and in the preseason. We can’t make any decisions based on 7-on-7.” Whoever is selected as the starting quarterback will have some support returning with Rocco Palumbo, an allleague receiver who caught 43 passes last season, and running back Tanner Smith, who averaged 127.3 yards a game rushing. “Having Rocco back helps,” said Cash. “He needs to be patient as the quarterbacks learn the ropes. It also helps to have Tanner Smith coming back. It helps to have an all-league running back to lighten the load on the quarterbacks.”

is a gateway drug. Also, since the implementation of medical marijuana, there has been a significant increase in marijuana use by teenagers in Colorado, he said. Donahue said he wants to make the fine stiffer so teens will “think twice about possessing.”
Councilmember Renee Valentine asked that there be an emphasis on community service, since teens probably would turn to parents for help paying the fine. All three matters are expected to come in front of the council sometime this summer.
