Why she’s in the news

Playing a family heirloom

Crowd-pleasing songs

Underway to professionalism

Emily Rose Abruzzo performs at Julie’s Hallmark, at Highlands Ranch Marketplace near Highlands Ranch Parkway and University Boulevard, on May 2 for the store’s Spring Fling. Emily Rose, a 15-year-old Highlands Ranch native, grew up an airline child. Her father, Len, has been a pilot for 31 years, and her mother, Jennifer, was a flight attendant for five years. It’s no wonder her favorite song to play on the piano is “Raphsody in Blue” by George Gershwin— a song most commonly known as the United Airlines theme song.

Emily Rose’s great-uncle, Lawrence Hanson, an American WWII soldier who died while guarding a monastery in Italy in 1944, thought his nephew and niece, who was Emily Rose’s grandmother, Joan, should own a piano. Before being deployed overseas, he bought them a Betsy Ross Spinet piano. Emily Rose’s parents inherited the piano when they bought their first house 18 years ago. One day, Emily Rose sat down and began to play. “If we never had that piano,” her mother said, “we never would have discovered little Emily Rose’s talent.”

Emily Rose began piano lessons when she was 8. Her music teacher, Maralee Richards of Highlands Ranch, teaches her students to read music. With that skill, Emily Rose can play at least 65 songs, she said, including a such classical masterpieces by Bach or Beethoven, songs from musicals such as “Cats” or “Phantom of the Opera,” numerous Christmastime favorites, some international songs and even the Beatles. Emily Rose enjoys challenges, so along with the 14 other Disney tunes she plays, she is learning “Frozen”—which is nine pages of sheet music.

Emily Rose played publicly for the first time in front of 70 people at a July wedding in 2011. Shortly after, Tipsy’s Liquor World hired her for a silent auction to raise money for breast cancer research. Emily Rose now performs at a variety of events, from recitals at the Brown Palace and churches to senior centers and appreciation gatherings. She likes to make people happy, she said. “They compliment me,” Emily Rose said.

Home values in Douglas County are on the rise across the board, which will mean higher property taxes for many. The county will be mailing out newly calculated notices of property value May 1. The largest percentage of homes in the county falls into the $300,000-$450,000 range. Those homes, on average, have seen an 18.5 percent increase in value since the last valuation period two years ago, according to the county. Home in the $150,000-300,000 range show an average increase in value of 22 percent and homes under $150,000 have shown an average increase of 28 percent. “Condominiums and townhouses have seen the greatest increases,” said Lisa Frizell, county assessor. “That makes sense because they saw the greatest decreases during the recession, so they had the furthest to come back up.” According to recent data by the Douglas Elbert Realtor Association, the median price of a single-family home in Douglas County in 2014 was $375,000 and the median sale price of a townhouse or condo was $224,000. Colorado state law requires that each county reappraise property values every two years, and 2015 is a reappraisal year. The state requires that appraisals by the county examine data from a specific twoProperty continues on Page 9

Exchange students experience American culture Family has participated in program since 1992 By Christy Steadman

csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

Terri and Rich Elms aren’t called mom and dad just by their five children, but by at least 15 international students as well. “I call it 15 kids and counting,” Terri said. “They become a friend, and a family member.” The Elms have been a host family with Youth for Understanding, a nonprofit international educational organization, since 1992. With this year’s two exchange students, the Elms household in Highlands Ranch consists of: Faith, 9; Adrianna, 11; Conner, 14; Madison, 15; and Makayla, 17; and Emi Osada, 17, of Japan; and Jens Krause, 16, of Germany. When the students first arrive, they probably feel like visitors, said Terri, the organization’s south-metro area coordinator. But then relationships form and they be-

On average, Youth for Understanding brings about 2,000 high school students, ages 15 through 18, from about 60 different countries each school year. Students can participate in any course offerings and extracurricular activities, with the only classes the organization requires being English and American history. “Not everybody can have two homes, in two different countries,” Osada said. “I have one brother in Japan, but now I have six siblings.” In Europe, a person sees American culture in movies, Krause said, but “you don’t really know what it’s like until you experience it.” “They come here to live and experience everyday life,” Terri said. And “your ordinary life is extraordinary to an exchange student. For them, each experience is unique.” But the experience is unique for the host family’s children, also. “Our normal, everyday routine is so special to share with them,” Madison said. “We Exchange continues on Page 9

State legislators approve $25 billion budget Plan includes $70 million for surplus tax refunds in 2016 By Ivan Moreno Associated Press

A $25 billion Colorado budget with taxpayer refunds and more funding for education was sent to the governor’s desk after state lawmakers gave final approval to the spending plan last week. “No one pretends that this year’s budget was perfect. But it was collaborative,’’ said Republican Sen. Kevin Grantham, one of six legislative members of the budget-writing Joint Budget Committee. “We worked together. We didn’t get everything we wanted. We didn’t get rid of everything we wanted.” The GOP-led Senate approved the budget April 17 on a 31-2 vote, with only Democrats dissenting. The budget previously cleared the Democrat-controlled House on a 45-20 vote. Republicans were the only no votes there.

The budget, which takes effect July 1, includes funding increases for education, transportation, and money earmarked for surplus refunds for residents required under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. The document calls for money to be returned to taxpayers when the state’s revenue growth exceeds the rate of population growth and inflation. Most of the $25 billion includes federal funds over which lawmakers have little control. Included in the overall budget figure is $9.6 billion general funding — tax revenue that lawmakers oversee. However, even within that pot of money there’s little wiggle room. Schools alone receive $3.5 billion in general fund spending, an increase of $200 million from last year. “Not only are we working to restore past cuts to K-12 (education), this year our budget again makes significant new investments in higher education to reverse past budget cuts and to do what we are able to do to mitigate tuition increases,’’ said Democratic Rep. Pat Steadman, a member of the Joint Budget Committee. Public colleges are getting nearly $857

million in general fund dollars, about $100 million more from last year. Health Care Policy and Financing, which oversees Medicaid, takes up $2.5 billion in general fund spending and nearly $8.9 billion in federal dollars. For surplus tax refunds, lawmakers are budgeting about $70 million for next year when people file income taxes, and $117 million the following year. The first refunds will average between $15 and $47 for individuals, and between $30 and $94 for joint returns, depending on income. The Senate Democrats who voted against the budget criticized the refunds at a time when they would like to see more money for schools and colleges to continue restoring cuts from the Great Recession. Lawmakers approved the budget a day after Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper sent them a letter outlining a plan to try to resolve what he calls the state’s “fiscal thicket,” a series of conflicting constitutional and state legislative mandates that restrict taxing and spending. Part of Hickenlooper’s plan calls for re-

classifying what is known as the hospital provider fee, a charge enacted in 2009. The state then uses the money to get a federal match to help pay for more Medicaid patients. Currently, the revenue collected from those fees does not go into the general fund, but they still create a refund liability that the general fund must pay for, potentially at the expense of other budget areas. Hickenlooper’s administration says it wants to refund money to taxpayers the next two years. But by reclassifying the hospital provider fee, the state could avoid refunds in future years, making money available instead for transportation projects and schools. The plan was has received a lukewarm response from lawmakers. Some say there’s little time in the session to do anything about the governor’s proposal; others support refunding money to taxpayers. A more traditional way for the state to keep the money is to go to voters for permission — a politically risky move Democrats are reluctant to make.

200 bikes to go to needy children Staff report More than 100 people participated in the annual Project ReCycle spring bike drives, which took place this year on April 19 in Highlands Ranch and Castle Pines. Between the two drives, people brought 236 bicycles to be donated. Project ReCycle, a Douglas Countybased nonprofit, takes the donated bicycles and fixes them up to give to needy children through other nonprofit organizations or schools. The drives were in partnership with

the Highlands Ranch Metro District, Whole Foods and American Furniture Warehouse. It costs Project ReCycle only $42 to repair the bikes, said Project ReCycle founder A.J. Stapleton, and the children receive a bike, a new helmet, lock and water bottle. Another set of drives will take place in the fall, but people may donate a bike at any time of the year at participating local business.

Former principal proposes K-12 charter Core Knowledge curriculum

m lBy Jane Reuter yjreuter@colorado communitymedia.com A K-12 charter school that its founder . said would emphasize “purpose-driven t education” could open in Castle Rock in e2016. Proponent Merlin Holmes hasn’t yet esecured a site for the proposed Milestone dAcademy, but an application for the school yis under review by the Douglas County -School District. About 30 people came to the Castle Rock mlibrary April 13 to learn more about the yschool, one of six schools Holmes aims to -open in 2016 along the Front Range under -the name Capstone Collegiate Academies. . Holmes was the principal at both SkyoView and Aspen View Academies; his con-tracts with both schools were terminated. - If approved, Milestone Academy would be the first charter high school in Castle Rock. Parker’s Colorado Early Colleges, Highlands Ranch’s SkyView and STEM acad-

emies already offer high school options in Douglas County. DCSD also is reviewing a proposal for John Adams High School, which is seeking a site in Highlands Ranch. Holmes said Milestone Academy would implement the Core Knowledge curriculum for its elementary school students. Core Knowledge is built around the idea that students need to learn a core body of knowledge to become culturally literate. Students would be required to wear uniforms through eighth grade, and adhere to a “modest dress code” in high school. “Our high school will be a college prep high school,” Holmes said. “It will be designed so students get the classes they need to enter any college they want to go to, (and learn) what’s going to prepare them to be successful in college, not just get into college.” At its peak, the high school would have no more than a total of 600 students. It also would offer “vibrant activities,” Holmes said, including athletics, art, music, theater and clubs. “We won’t be able to offer every sport,” he said. “And we probably won’t be state champions the first year. (But) we’ll be

competitive.” Holmes defined a purpose-driven education. “Another way of saying that is we want students to achieve their dreams,” he said. “We think as a school it’s our job to work with you, the parents and students, to give you all the skills, knowledge, character and integrity to go and be whoever you want to be.” Holmes is not new to the charter school process, or to Douglas County. The Monument resident was the first principal of Colorado Springs’ The Classical Academy, and has led Highlands Ranch’s SkyView Academy, Castle Rock’s Aspen View Academy and Elizabeth’s Legacy Academy. He also was a Colorado Department of Education charter school consultant. “All the schools I’ve started have done very well academically and culturally,” he said. Milestone will operate according to a “student-centered” partnership model, with the academy board, parents, school district and Capstone Collegiate working together. Holmes said the model includes checks and balances. “Each group has their role,” Holmes

Merlin Holmes expresses pride in the charter schools he’s helped launch, though public records show his contracts with three of those schools — two of them in Douglas County — were terminated. They include Aspen View and SkyView academies, both of which Holmes described as good schools. He said administrative turnover is not unusual in the first few years of a charter school, and he intends to provide a stable structure with his proposed Milestone Academy. “Part of why I’m starting schools around the state is to expand opportunity for parents and kids, and trying to make sure we create some really long-term partnerships so the schools aren’t quite so volatile in their staffing,” he said. “Most charter schools, especially in their early years, turn over a lot. Administrators and the board get to the point where they’re not on the same page.” He declined to offer additional comment on the terminations. Most recently, Castle Rock’s Aspen View Academy board voted to terminate Holmes’ principal contract in late 2014. Holmes was the school’s first principal. Minutes from the Nov. 4, 2014 Aspen View board meeting in which Holmes’ contract was terminated said Holmes had announced plans to leave the charter school. “The board was extremely surprised to see communication sent out internally to staff and community without board discussion or approval,” the minutes read. “Mr. Holmes wanted to make the announcement that he was committed through the rest of the year while also allowing us enough time to find a successor. He believed that prior eindividual discussions with (other board members) constituted approval.” r The board then moved to terminate Holmes’ at-will .contract immediately. a The SkyView Academy board moved to terminate Holmes’ executive director contract in January 2013. r Holmes was executive director of the Highlands Ranch tschool from 2010-13. The motion to approve Holmes’ conetract termination is documented in SkyView minutes, but

said. “This is designed to make sure no one group has all the power. He said a management board would pay Capstone to hire and pay teachers. “All the things a normal district board would hire a principal to do,” Holmes said. “I will be the executive director of the school. I will hire a principal, and the principal and I together will hire the staff.” Though the Douglas County School District must approve the charter, Holmes said: “In this district, the district board here is very strong on charter autonomy.” Holmes said he had “very, very few serious issues” with the other charter schools he helped launch. “Budgetwise, the last two schools are very successful,” he said, referring to Aspen View and SkyView. “We’ve put money into things that really matter.” Two of the parents in attendance liked the sound of Milestone Academy. “I like the idea of a charter high school,” said Emily Srasiak, parent of three. “I think it’s great,” said Laura Hogzett, who has three children and is expecting her fourth. “If they went to the same school (through high school), wouldn’t that be perfect?”

Monument resident Merlin Holmes talks to parents about his proposed Milestone Academy charter school during an April 13 meeting at the Castle Rock library. Photo by Jane Reuter In February 2003, Holmes was fired from his post as the first principal of Colorado Springs’ Classical Academy High School. The Classical Academy’s elementary principal was fired simultaneously. The school’s president said then the board had unanimously agreed to make changes in the school’s leadership. Holmes also was principal at Legacy Academy in Elizabeth in 2005-06, when the school was called Elbert County Charter School. Staff there said he left on his own to start another school. He also worked for National Heritage Academies, a charter school management organization based in Michigan, as its director of partner relations from 2006-09. Holmes told parents who attended an April 13 meeting on his proposed Castle Rock charter he’s had “very, very few serious issues” with the schools he has run in the past. “All the schools I’ve started have done very well academically and culturally,” he said. “The waitlist for all five of the schools I’ve started is still very large. “If you put your kids in this school, I’m 95 percent confident you’ll really be appreciative of this school. One of the things that is important to me is that five, 10 years from now, when your kids are in our school and you think back to this meeting, you’ll say, `They worked really hard to do what Merlin promised.’ ”

Parker deaths spark community concern Town meeting, Facebook page first steps in efforts to address suicide By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com

SUCCESS AT YOUR

CONVENIENCE!

Douglas County Coroner Jill Romann has seen countless suicides in her 25-year career, and that repeated exposure has convinced her there is no one to blame for such tragedies. “Suicide is a true disease just like cancer or anything else,” she said. “Nobody sets out to victimize somebody else by taking their own life. It’s really unintentional. “And it’s not poor parenting, or that the parents should have seen it coming and didn’t. This is a very dark, deep secret that the patient holds.” Romann is among many who believe there may be genetic markers for suicide and mental illness. African-Americans, for instance, die by suicide at significantly lower rates than Caucasians. “If a child has juvenile diabetes, we wouldn’t say ‘You’ll feel better tomorrow’ or ‘That’s selfish,’ ” said Sheri Cole, area director for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Rocky Mountain region. “We would literally be treating it like a disease. Suicide is a disease of the brain. It can be prevented.” The issue is on the minds of many in Douglas County this month, and particularly in Parker, where the mayor called a town meeting April 14 to discuss teen suicide. During a one-week span earlier this month, a Chaparral High School student, a 30-year-old Parker man and a 19-yearold who graduated from Chaparral in 2014 each died by suicide. Mayor Mike Waid called the standingroom-only meeting at the PACE Center and also created a Facebook page, “A bright future for Parker,” as places “to begin the dialog on the current epidemic in Parker of both teen and adult suicide.”

SUICIDE FACTS

SUICIDE WARNING SIGNS

Suicide is highest among Caucasians, American Indians and Alaskans, and lowest among Asians, African-Americans and Hispanics.

Most of the time, people who kill themselves show one or more of these warning signs before they take action:

• Losing interest in things, or losing the ability to experience pleasure

At least 90 percent of all people who died by suicide had a mental illness at the time, most often depression.

• Talking about wanting to kill themselves, or saying they wish they were dead

• Becoming socially isolated and withdrawn from friends, family, and others

• Looking for a way to kill themselves, such as hoarding medicine or buying a gun

• Acting irritable or agitated

In 2013, the highest suicide rate was among men 45 to 64 years old. Suicide rates tend to be highest in the spring months, peaking in April. They are below average during the winter months, and lowest in December. Source: American Foundation for Suicide Prevention; www.afsp.org

“I felt compelled as Parker’s mayor because now I can honestly say that everyone in Parker has been touched by this,” he said. “In the last week, I’ve had three citizens take their lives. Last year, we had 48 citizens in Douglas County take their lives.” With Waid moderating, adults and teens lined up four deep on both sides of the room to speak into microphones about their experiences with suicide and depression. Among the many who spoke during the Parker meeting was J.D. Nash, whose 16-year-old son Jonathon died by suicide in November 2014. Nash, who’s also struggled with depression and thoughts of suicide, said his son “gave no perceptible outward signs of his angst.” Nash wrote the word “stigma” on a sandwich board at the front of the event room, and drew a red slash through it. “There should be no more stigma attached to emotional pain … than a broken leg,” he said. Waid was gratified by the turnout but said more needs to be done. The next step in the process hasn’t yet been determined.

“One of the challenges I issued to everyone is that instead of waiting for someone above you — the town of Parker, Douglas County, the state — to present you with a solution they think is best, take charge and affect a change at your level,” he said. “Talk to one person today, help someone who might need it.” A simple acknowledgement can make a difference, he said. “The person working the line at Disneyland — people don’t notice them. They just walk by them,” he said. “When you

stop and say thank you, you’ve just given them visibility. We all want that sense of purpose and acknowledgement in life.” Cole, who lost her Highlands Ranch High School son David to suicide in 2009, said education also is key. “There are lots of tools out there,” she said. “It’s not as though one is better than the other. So much is about execution and awareness and really trying to get upstream. It’s great that we’re tipping the scales in terms of more knowledge; it’s unfortunate it takes tragedy to do that.”

OPINION

April 23, 2015

O U R S

Invisibility may have some unseen benefits So this past Sunday before heading to church we decided to go out to breakfast. And as we entered the restaurant the staff was happily greeting each guest who arrived and let them know they would be right with them. However, for whatever reason, when we walked in there was dead silence as they busied themselves with the work immediately in front of them. Now I get that they were very busy, yet when the people behind us walked in they also received the warm and courteous greeting. I didn’t take it personally, as I am sure we were just caught in a moment of the staff being super busy. But I will share that for a moment it felt like we were invisible. Have you ever felt that way? You know what I mean, right? That feeling when others around you may be receiving a little extra attention or being waited on or taken care of and you are left there wondering what you did and if you possibly offended anyone. Do I look different? Am I reeking of body odor? Or am I just invisible today? There are times when we want to be invisible. There are situations or events happening around us where we just hope and pray no one calls on us or asks us a question, or God forbid, asks us to participate in some way. And we certainly want to be invisible when asked to volunteer for a project or opportunity that just doesn’t fit

in with who we are or creates a conflict in our social calendar. “You want me to do what? When?” … “I am very sorry, you see that was the day I was going to rearrange my sock drawer, paint my garbage cans, create a database for my soup recipes alphabetically, phonetically, numerically, and categorize each by ingredient. And, if I could squeeze it in, list all the people I know who have seen the movie ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ at least 10 times. So you see, I would love to help but I am just very busy.” We can make a million excuses and make ourselves invisible when and if we really want to, can’t we? Let’s think about this in a slightly different way. How about when we give anonymously or do some kind of random act of kindness? Doing things for others when no one else knows that we did it, contributing to a great cause and not attaching our name to the message or posting. Are we invisible when we do those things? Yes we

are, and I have to share with you those are probably the times we feel the best. It’s easy to feel offended or hurt when others are receiving special attention and we feel like we have been overlooked or forgotten, when we feel like maybe we are invisible in the eyes of people, companies, our friends, and sometimes even our own families. And even though the excuses come fairly easily, we probably feel some sense of guilt for not volunteering or making ourselves invisible when our friend calls and needs our help moving for the third time in two years. And when we determine that we want to be invisible for a good cause, when we do something for the greater good, or for even one person or family and they had no idea that we did it, it’s in those moments of invisibility that we receive the greatest joy and satisfaction. How about you? Are you conveniently invisible when you want to be or do you intentionally make yourself invisible for a good cause? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we choose to become visible for the right reasons, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Got a little list of things that would be missed Don’t know much about history. Don’t know much biology. I know what a slide rule is for, but you can have it. It’s looking like I am going to exit with some serious gaps. I am in the wading pool of scholarship. I am still learning, mind you, but it’s mostly in bits and pieces without a serious effort. I try to watch programs that are factbased, especially documentaries. I don’t watch any dramas or situation comedies. I have never watched “CSI.” Doesn’t interest me. I don’t want to escape. I want to stay right here, and know what is going on in the real world, as disturbing as it almost always is. I woke to the news and the video of a South Carolina cop being charged with murder. The whole wide world is watching (white) police officers right now, and he goes and guns down a (black) man — in the back. Once a year I make a list. It’s my “What Makes Life Worth Living” list. I recommend one. Mine hasn’t changed very much since October 13, 2011. That’s the night I met Jennifer at the Curtis Arts & Humanities Center in Greenwood Village, where I was giving a painting demonstration. Of course, I didn’t know that she would be on my list that night. It took a little over a month. If you are a longtime reader of “Quiet

Desperation,” you can probably guess what is on my list. (Please don’t bug me about the whereabouts of God. I keep it to myself.) Jennifer and Smitty top it. I have two best friends too. Two may not sound like much, but they are more than enough. Constant and true. I don’t get to see either one of them very often, but I always know that they are there. Painting and writing. Writing and painting. They are neck and neck. I never would have guessed. This little column is on my list. I never underestimate the opportunity, or my responsibility, as a journalist. Six hundred words a week, across topics that are generally unplanned, and just wander into my head. I was thinking about Sam Cooke this morning. That’s how this one got started. “Don’t know much about history.” Cooke was great. Details about death remain unclear. He was shot to death at a hotel on Figueroa in Los Angeles, by the hotel manager.

Cooke was only 33. Cooke and Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding sang songs that I still listen to. Have you ever heard Jeff Buckley sing Leonard Cohen’s song “Hallelujah”? Buckley died when he was only 30, and his father Tim died when he was only 28. Both are nearly forgotten, but shouldn’t be. I am listening to Mozart piano. Music will always be on my list. Films and nonfiction likewise. “Over a dog,” Jack Nicholson’s character says in “As Good as It Gets.” Dogs are as good as it gets. The year is off to a bumpy start with terrorist videos, the university attack in Kenya and that sabotaged plane in the Alps. The trials of the Boston Marathon bomber and the Aurora theater murderer bring back bad memories. That’s when a dog comes in handy. I’m telling you. Waking sober will always be on my list. If you know, then you know, and good luck, my friend. This time I am going to add the rabbits in the neighborhood. They are all over the place before the sun comes up. I think they are looking to add to the population. Just by hopping around with each other, sitting in the street obliviously, they get my day off to a good start. What’s on your list?

Plan could fix veterans’ health care system Want to know how the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital system is doing? Colorado residents need only look to the VA hospital under construction in Aurora. It is now years behind schedule, and the VA says it needs hundreds of millions of additional tax dollars to continue construction. Never mind that the hospital’s initial $328 million price tag has now ballooned to $1.73 billion. This fiasco is just one of many problems that have plagued veterans’ care in the state of Colorado. Shortly after the Phoenix VA scandal erupted last year, we learned that VA staffers in Colorado were also guilty of falsifying data and keeping secret wait lists to make average patient wait times look better. And amazingly, VA officials knew staffers were cooking the books as far back as 2013, yet failed to address it, according to CNN. In response to these scandals, Congress

FORMER CONGRESSMAN JIM MARSHALL GUEST COLUMN passed and funded the Veterans Access, Accountability and Care Act of 2014, but as of this month, wait times in Colorado remain among the worst in the nation, according to VA data. This isn’t surprising, since the Veterans Health Administration is a historic anomaly. It was created and vital when America’s civilian health care system lacked the competence and capacity to satisfy veterans’ health care entitlements. But now the VHA is utterly dwarfed by the convenience,

efficiency and competence of America’s civilian-sector health care system. And as a legacy bureaucracy, the VHA struggles with change and worries about survival and relevance. Demographics alone assure these worries will not subside. VA projects that the sheer number of veterans will decline drastically during the next 20 years. And with the passing of Vietnam-era veterans like me, a much smaller percentage of veterans will seek and/or be entitled to care through the VA. Given these truths, VA health care must either be blended into America’s civilian sector, or it will inevitably become dramatically more expensive per patient, more incompetent, more inconvenient or, more likely, suffer a combination of these three ills.

year period from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2014. According to Frizell, the biggest drivers of value are square footage, location and the construction quality of the house. “I encourage all property owners to review the sales in their area,” Frizell said. “When they get their notice of value, I would want them to double-check their property characteristics. We have a number of tools on our website for them to look at the sales in their area and make sure that their value makes sense. We want it to be right. That’s the most important thing.”

wouldn’t have those experiences without them.” Faith likes teaching the international students to make s’mores. Adrianna likes having water-balloon fights in the backyard. And Conner and Jens go mountain biking quite a bit. In fact, Jens brought his bike from Germany. “Seeing the students’ reactions when they get to experience something new,” is Makayla’s favorite part — such as when they try peanut butter or root beer for the first time. The Elms value family time in the evenings, after homework is done, Rich said. Often, it is spent in the kitchen, talking about the day, doing crafts or cooking meals together. “There’s a lot of energy in the kitchen,” he said. Saying goodbye at the end of the school year is often the most difficult part about the experience for exchange students and host families, Terri said. But sometimes the farewell isn’t forever. During the 2012-13 school year, the Elms hosted an exchange student from Japan named Ataka Inuoe, who paid the family a surprise visit in February. “He walked through the front door, just as if he was family,” Terri said. “Although he had been gone for three years, he still had a piece of American culture in him.”

Property owners can look up their homes and compare and review at douglas. co.us/assessor. If property owners find a dispute in their valuation, they can appeal to the county. The change in property values will also likely have an impact on taxes. Douglas County plans to look at its mill levy rates in December, but how exactly a homeowner will be affected will depend greatly on individual factors and in which municipality or other area the homeowner lives. Changes to assessed property values will go into effect in 2016. “If someone thinks we’ve made a mistake, we want them to appeal,” Frizell said. “We want to make sure we have the most accurate values we can and we really do want to get it right.”

Property valuations subject to appeals Appeal to county assessor Appeals must be filed by June 1 for real property and June 30 for personal property. County assessor decides on appeal and notifies the taxpayer by the last working day of August for all property. If the taxpayer is not satisfied with the county assessor’s decision, the taxpayer can file an appeal with the county Board of Equalization.

Appeal to county Board of Equalization These appeals must be filed with the county Board of Equalization between Sept. 1 and 15 for both real property and personal property.

County Board of Equalization conducts hearing and notifies the taxpayer of its decision in writing within five business days. If the taxpayer is not satisfied with the Board of Equalization’s decision, there are three options available within 30 days of the decision. File an appeal with the Board of Assessment Appeals. File a lawsuit against the county Board of Equalization in district court. Agree to binding arbitration with the county Board of Equalization. Board of Assessment Appeals and district court decisions can be appealed to the Colorado Court of Appeals.

HOST FAMILIES NEEDED About 15 foreign exchange students with Youth for Understanding will be coming to the south-metro area for school next year, and they are in need of host families. The goal is to match the international students with a host family by June, for their arrival in early August. Host families provide a bedroom, which can be shared with a person of the same gender and near the same age, a study area, three meals a day and access to transportation. Families may host up to two students per school year. To learn more about Youth for Understanding, visit www. yfu-usa.org. Any questions about hosting a foreign exchange student can be directed to Terri Elms, the organization’s southmetro area coordinator. Elms can be contacted at 703-973-4501 or elmsonthemove@gmail.com.

Inuoe surprised the Elms Family, of Highlands Ranch, with a visit in February. “Although Emi and Ataka had never met before,” host mom Terri Elms said, “they now share in common the fact that they both spent a year here in the U.S. with the Elms Family.” Courtesy photos

Veterans Continued from Page 8

VAACA, though well-intended, is an expensive and inefficient attempt to address only the wait time and inconvenience symptoms of VHA’s basic, legacy malaise. What’s been needed for some time is fundamental VHA reform that both improves care for veterans and saves tax dollars. That’s where the Veterans Independence Act comes in. Proposed by Concerned Veterans for America and its partners in the Fixing Veterans Health Care Taskforce, this proposed law would effect real and permanent VHA reform. First and foremost, the Veterans Independence Act would expand veterans’ health care choices. At present, veterans need the VA’s approval to use their health care benefits, and it rarely allows them to seek private treatment. The Veterans Independence Act allows veterans to use VA benefits at private practices wherever and whenever they want. It separates the VA’s payor and provider functions, greatly lessening VA’s bureaucratic tendency to protect its budget by finding more and more things to spend it on. The Veterans Independence Act would

move the VA’s provider function (the hospitals, clinics, staff, equipment, etc.) into a not-for-profit, quasi-private entity that would compete for veterans’ health dollars and have the independence to make management decisions to increase efficiency, quality and customer service. Basically, the Veterans Independence Act puts the veteran in the driver’s seat. Either go to the VA or go elsewhere: It’s the vet’s call, not the bureaucrat’s. For the Veterans Independence Act to become law, we need Colorado’s 390,000 veterans to join together to fight for it. Concerned Veterans for America intends to lead that fight — and I hope you’ll join them. We shared this important reform in Denver on April 17. CVA and others who share their concerns showed local veterans and military families how the Veterans Independence Act would help them secure the well-being they were promised. Together, we can ensure that Colorado’s veterans get quality health care when and where they need it — not after years of delays and billions of wasted dollars.

Murphy says he planned earlier exit AHS tragedy kept him in Littleton an extra year, he says By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com

ful stands on each end of Lake Loveland. Raised by a single mom, a teacher, the venture paid for his bachelor’s degree in social work from Colorado State University. But he wanted a graduate degree, so he continued to find creative ways to supplement his income. At one point he went to work for a guy who repossessed items like TVs and furniture. “But here I am a social worker,” he said. “One day I went up, knocked on the door, and there was my client. I only lasted about three days.” While working toward his master’s in public administration from the University of Colorado, he worked with youths in Boulder County for a time, and later with the Colorado Department of Education as an evaluation analyst. He eventually became the CDE’s director of community-based education.

When Scott Murphy announced last October — just 10 months after the tragedy at Arapahoe High School — that he would be retiring, he knew people would question the timing. He has a very emphatic answer for those people. “I didn’t leave because of Arapahoe, I stayed because of Arapahoe,” he said. “Like the captain of a ship, even though you’re in a hurricane or a storm, they need to know they can count on you to help get them back to port with the confidence and knowledge of a sailor. You don’t look at your crew and say, ‘I’m abandoning the ship.’ I could not do that. Anybody who knows me, knows that.” Murphy, 62, told the board in October that he had intended to retire at the end of last school year. His grandfather died at 56; his father at 64. His wife retired 18 months ago. “She’s been waiting for me, and I’d like to spend some quality time with her,” he said. Murphy wants people to know why he sums up his career with a quote from TS Eliot: “We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” It’s because, he says, of a life-changing event that happened when he was a young man, behind the wheel of the car in a fatal accident. “My girlfriend was in the car, and she died next to me on a gurney,” he said, struggling with tears. “I learned about struggles as a young person, trying to make sense out of loss, out of death. The wound was open and very painful at the time. Over time, the wound heals, but the scar doesn’t ever leave you. And it’s not all bad. It reminds you of the event. It’s something I can give back to others who need it.” It’s an experience that led him to study social work, he says, and one he drew on in the aftermath of shooting on Dec. 13, 2013. That’s the day Karl Pierson fatally gunned down Claire Davis in a hallway before taking his own life in the school library. “With the car accident, it can bring me to tears today,” he said. “But it’s about resiliency, not about for-

Leaving a lasting impression After a quarter of a century, Scott Murphy enters final weeks with Littleton Public Schools By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Retiring Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy began his career days with, literally, a bang. “At 12, my mom helped me start a fireworks stand,” remembers Murphy, now 62. “My first stand burned down, and I was in it. I had to be dragged out.” Fortunately, things improved after that for Murphy, who will retire in June. By 16, he had six employees and success-

Davis family website urges bills’ passage

SafeColoradoSchools.com supports pending legislation By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Michael and Desiree Davis, the parents of slain Arapahoe High School student Claire Davis, have launched a website in support of two pieces of proposed legislation designed to increase school safety and accountability. “Thank you for all of the support you’ve provided us in the 16 months since a very troubled Arapahoe High School student,

getting. You have to learn from it, and ask the little questions and the big ones. I don’t know all the answers, and I want to be fair to all people.” It’s been difficult for him to remain as silent as he has regarding the incident, he says. “One of the hardest things I’ve had to do is not talk to you so much,” he said. “There’s so much we don’t know, and we gave the sheriff everything. We waited 10 months for the report. … I know what sells newspapers. But respect was really important to me. And there are a whole lot of people who want to tell you what to do, including insurance companies.” He and others in the district had the same reaction to the sheriff’s report as many in the general public, he said. “The diary stunned us,” he said. “It makes us realize there are kids who are deeply troubled. The issue is, how do we see it?” To that end, Murphy found himself back at his beginnings, but with greater understanding. He ordered the creation of the security and mental health advisory committee, which is taking a hard look at that question and others. “The question we will always have is,

Karl Pierson, killed our daughter, Claire,” they wrote in an email announcing the website, www.SafeColoradoSchools.com, on April 10. “You may have read that Littleton Public Schools has agreed to participate in an arbitrated discovery process, which should help us learn about all of the events surrounding Claire’s death. While we’re pleased with this development, our top priority now is the enactment of two bills that will go a long way toward making our schools safer.” The first bill, SB 213, would recognize the responsibility of schools to protect their students, faculty and staff from reasonably foreseeable acts of violence within school

why?,” he said. “We know what happened, the question is, why?” He notes that there have been plenty of other rough tides during his time in the district. “We’ve focused a lot on Arapahoe, but I’ve been in emergency wards too many times, and I’m not sure I’ve always understood why,” he said. During one night in the ‘90s, six kids in a car all died when they were hit by a train. A boy in the early part of this century was run over and killed by the car that was towing him on his skateboard. There have been overdoses, deaths from illness, a gang murder and many suicides. “The suicides always haunt me,” he said. “But I didn’t leave. Because I’m proud of this place. This is my family, and there’s no place like home. And you never leave home.” Murphy hopes Brian Ewert, his successor, can continue the work toward healing. “He’ll need to help the community weather and grow out of crisis and trauma,” said Murphy. “I want people to know there is nothing sacred that we won’t look at, even the brutal facts. One of the most wonderful things in life is 20/20 hindsight. We’re taking time to look back. They can count on us to always work to do the best thing. Can we say something won’t happen again? No. But we can actively put pieces in place that we need.”

facilities and at school-sponsored events. The measure also provides a narrow definition of the circumstances in which a lawsuit could be brought against a school for breaching that responsibility and sets a cap on the damages that can be recovered. “The General Assembly acknowledges that times have changed in this country and in this state because there have been so many acts of school violence in which students and teachers have been killed and injured,” reads the bill. “Parents have a reasonable expectation that when they send their children to a public school that the school and its employees will have taken steps to keep the children safe.”

Murphy Continued from Page 10

“I never quit social work, I just changed clients,” he said. “I get to work with people and help them be the best they can be. I was able to take that and help people focus on what’s important.” Continuing his climb up the ladder, he landed in Aurora Public Schools for three years as the budget director. “They were wonderful people to work with, and I loved knowing the schools and how the educational system works,” he said. He went on to become the assistant superintendent in what was then the tiny Brighton school district, doing everything from sweeping floors to negotiating the multimillion-dollar deal to sell the land that became Denver International Airport. “It was the greatest opportunity I’ve ever had, and I didn’t know what I was walking into,” he said. Six years later, he became the chief financial officer for Littleton Public Schools. It was 1990, and the district was in the midst of its most turbulent time ever up to that point. “About 1,500 people were at that first board meeting, and from that point on, we were off to the races,” he said. A “back-to-basics” slate had just been elected to the board and was making sweeping changes. Ironicially, notes Murphy, some are federally mandated standards today. But it caused quite a stir in what had been considered a progressive district. “We did learn some very, very important things very painfully,” he said. “Academics are extremely important to people. But at the same time, how we treat people is very, very important to people. That same board was voted out two years later. You can have different points of view, but it’s about how you treat people. And all voices deserve to be heard. When you think you’re the only one who’s right, you’re in for a fight. … Since we came out of our difficult times, we’ve had phenomenal boards that don’t care about politics, they care about kids.” Judging from comments made dur-

The second bill, SB 214, would create a permanent committee on school safety and youth mental health and charge it with examining ways to improve how schools and the mental-health system deal with troubled youths. “If you agree that it’s time to enact new incentives for Colorado schools to keep students and staff safe, and to produce meaningful changes in how we deal with troubled young people, we hope you’ll express your support to lawmakers,” the Davises wrote. Both bills have passed out of committee and are awaiting a vote by the Senate. If passed, they will head over to the House side.

ing the sold-out Littleton Public Schools Foundation fundraising gala earlier this month, Murphy has managed to maintain the unity that ensued since those early days. “Usually I’m the coolest guy in the room, being the beer guy, but son of a gun, I think you’ve got me trumped,” said Todd Thibault of Breckenridge Brewery, which hosted the dinner. Lucinda Hundley, retired assistant superintendent, called Murphy a “selfless servant” and a “visionary leader” with a knack for building common ground. “Scott is known for taking the politics out of school finance,” she said. LPS Board President Jack Reutzel, commenting on the creation of the Scott Murphy Legacy Fund that will support security and mental-health efforts, praised Murphy for having the ability to recognize where there are needs. “The most important thing in our lives is how we impact children, and how they become successful,” he said. Murphy gives credit to the staff, board, his predecessors and the community as a whole for the district’s success, even when there were struggles like school closures and layoffs. “Sometimes moving forward, you want people to not feel left behind,” he said. “Everyone wants to move forward. Even if you like the way things are, you still want your flowers to grow. I want to bring everyone to the table. That’s my social-worker side.” Moving forward for him means traveling with his wife, Teri Chavez, and serving on a variety of education-related boards and committees. He’s also teaching school finance at Regis University, and spends time feeding the homeless at St. Elizabeth’s on the Auraria Campus. During the gala, after withstanding some good-natured jabbing about being known as the “no-snow-day superintendent,” Murphy thanked those who have stood in his support. “All of us together are a team,” he said. “Thank you for letting me be a part of it. And thank you for always being about students’ success in whatever they may choose to do. We do this work together, and for that I will always be an LPS cheerleader.”

Jobs for grads likely to grow, survey says

wBy Paul Wiseman -Associated Press d The consulting and accounting firm EY ris aggressively recruiting on college campuses this spring. The company formerly -known as Ernst & Young plans to hire 9,000 .graduates from U.S. universities this year, eup from 7,500 in 2014. But recruiting isn’t as easy as it used to be. “I’m seeing a lot more competition” from rival employers, says Dan Black, EY’s Americas recruiting leader. That’s good news for college seniors and graduate students preparing to accept diplomas this spring, and a sign that new graduates will fare better than they did in 2014. The Labor Department reported last week that the unemployment rate for Americans in their 20s who received a fouryear or advanced degree last year rose to 12.4 percent from 10.9 percent in 2013. “This is a real breakout year,” said Philip Gardner, director of Michigan State Uni-

versity’s Collegiate Employment Research Institute. In a survey of employers last fall, the employment center found that hiring of graduates with four-year degrees will rise 16 percent this year. “It’s led by the ones you would expect — engineering and business,’’ Gardner said. “But there seems to be a lot of room for everybody… Even arts and humanities are making a comeback.” Employers have more openings to fill because Baby Boomers are retiring and more workers are feeling confident enough about the economy to switch jobs. Overall, the United States generated 3.1 million jobs last year, the most since 1999. The overall unemployment rate has fallen to 5.5 percent in March from 6.7 percent at the end of 2013. Tyler Etten, 22, had a $54,000-a-year job in finance waiting for him when he graduated from Iowa State University in May 2014. Three months later, he bounced to an even better job with the investment firm Piper Jaffray in Minneapolis. His 3.5 grade point average helped. But Etten says he set himself apart by getting internships, participating in campus clubs and spending his spare time learning financial modeling and

advanced Excel skills. “A degree is not enough with record amounts of people graduating from college,” he said. In particular, employer demand for socalled STEM graduates — in science, technology, engineering and mathematics — is high. “We can’t graduate enough engineers,” said Holly Proffitt, employer relations coordinator in the career services office at Arkansas State University. Still, many recent college grads are struggling and have yet to enjoy a full recovery from the dark days of the Great Recession. In a report last year, researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco found that wages for recent college graduates haven’t kept up with overall wages since the Great Recession. Between 2007 and 2014, median wages for all full-time workers rose 15 percent. For recent college grads, they rose just 6 percent. The same thing happened after the 2001 recession: College grads’ wages lagged behind everyone else’s as the economy recovered, the report said. The Michigan State survey found that 62 percent of employers were planning to keep starting wages flat for college grads

compared to last year; 37 percent planned to increase starting salaries. The increases tended to range from 3 percent to 5 percent. Elizabeth Earl, 22, landed a job at a health care trade publication after graduating from Columbia College Chicago in December. The pay is low and the work tedious, but she’s relieved she has a job. “By the time you get out, you assume you’ll be a barista,” she said. “It’s not idyllic nor at all what I want to do, but it is a job from which I can be getting paid while I consider career paths.” Josh Kelly, 23, is hoping to break into radio or journalism after graduating from Rutgers University in January. In the meantime, he’s working at a record store and living with five people in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The job search has proven frustrating, even though he had an internship with a radio company and was president of a student-run radio station. Kelly said he was disheartened to learn that many companies use algorithms to scan resumes for particular keywords. He thought human recruiters were reviewing his applications, “yet now the picture seems to be that most hiring agents don’t necessarily see my resume at all.”

New to 9News, Fallon freaks at banter bout

Tattoo parlor creates buzz

Think Tank’s owner, Matt Sager, has always been artisitic but got interested in tattooing as a career after spending four years in the U.S. Air Force. Photos by Jennifer Smith

Think Tank opens doors in downtown Littleton By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Matt Sager wants to make one thing perfectly clear: He has no intentions of turning Main Street into Colfax Avenue. “Downtown Littleton is becoming something bigger than what it was,” he said on April 15, six days after opening Think Tank tattoo parlor above Penzey’s Spices. “It’s a gem down here. The health inspector told me we really knocked this out of the park, and that it’s the nicest tattoo shop he’d ever seen in Colorado.” With brick walls and hardwood floors, the store is more reminiscent of a warm and inviting downtown salon than a brash biker hangout, which is what some residents and even city officials were somewhat concerned about. “I put a lot of work and time into this place to make it what it is for our clients,” Sager said. “And we reflect that in the quality of our work, as well.” The walls are filled with colorful pieces done by Sager and his other three artists, some quirky, some elegant. He hopes to eventually employ two more people to serve clients, many of whom have followed

“The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon’s peeps intercepted a live shot exchange between 9News meteorologist Kathy Sabine and anchor Kyle Clark discussing the weather forecast recently. If you’ve caught their act before, you know that Sabine and Clark love to banter during the newscast. But for a 9News newbie, the exchange was a bit prickly. Standing in the “backyard” set, Sabine says that something smells like orange blossoms. Clark retorted that he thought the odor was Sabine’s hairspray. “You don’t have any product (in your hair)?” Sabine asked Clark as she stroked his locks. Clark: “Don’t ever touch me again.” Fallon’s line: “The forecast is cloudy with a chance of go to hell, Brenda.” See for yourself at www.kbco.com/ onair/the-bco-morning-show-49696/9news-team-becomes-world-famous-13489876/.

Elder Manning, Griese at event

On May 5 at the Judi’s House Inaugural Speakers Series Luncheon “Strength in the Face of Adversity,” former NFL quarterback legends Archie Manning and Bob Griese will engage in a personal conversation about how the loss of their fathers at a young age affected their personal and professional journeys as athletes, fathers, husbands and men. Former NFL quarterback and co-founder of Judi’s House, Brian Griese, will lead the conversation with these two remarkable men, and take the audience from the depths of their personal struggles to the peak of their professional triumphs. The luncheon takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 5 at the Denver Marriott City Center, 1701 California St. Event chairs are Sheila and Hassan Salem and Mimi and Ed Roberson. Honorees are Sharon Magness Blake and Ernie Blake. More information at www.judishouse. org.

City Park Jazz’s 29th season

Rick Brown (left) and Teddy Safarian, two of Think Tank’s four tattoo artists, work on designs. The shop has space to employ six artists eventually. from Think Tank’s Denver location, which has been operating for 13 years. Sager said many of them were young professionals from the south-metro region in the first place, so the move seemed logical. “There was nothing down here,” he said. “And it’s a really cool, quaint, unique area.” One reason there’s no nearby competition is that tattoo parlors were not allowed downtown until Sager dug his heels in to get the city’s planning board and city council to change the zoning. Finalized in February, the new ordinance limits the spacing between tattoo parlors in such a way that Think Tank is likely to be the only one. “We had to jump through a lot of hoops,” said Sager. Sager just turned 30 and lives in Englewood, but is looking for a home to buy in Littleton. He’s always been artistic, but he didn’t get interested in tattooing until after his four-year stint in the Air Force. “I started getting back into graphic design, but I saw how the tattoo industry had changed,” he said. “There are a lot of artists in the industry. It’s a career, a legitimate career.” He takes pride in helping clients know the difference between high-quality tattoo design and run-of-the-mill work.

“Stuff on paper doesn’t necessarily make the most sense on a certain body part,” he said. “We try to educate clients who come in and ask questions. Their idea might be on track to something bigger and better.” Look for Sager and his team at community events, starting with the Ladies Only Sample Tour on May 7. They’ll be handing out small framed pieces of art they hope will appeal to the women who will flood Main Street that day. They’ll also welcome the community to several gallery shows throughout the year, so that even those who don’t want a tattoo get a chance to appreciate their art. Fundraisers for local nonprofits are also on Sager’s to-do list. “Everyone’s been really welcoming, and we want to be an active part of the community,” he said. Think Tanks hopes everyone will stop by the store for a grand-opening celebration from 5 to 6 p.m. May 1, with a visit from the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Party Bar. Afterward, the celebration will head east to Ds’ Tavern on Littleton Boulevard. “We want to give the community a chance to check us out, and the city staff a chance to see what they’ve worked so hard to help me get,” Sager said.

City Park Jazz heads into its 29th season with a great lineup of free Sunday concerts in the park. Spanning 10 weeks across June, July and August, the collection of local musicians in this year’s lineup crosses cultures, styles and genres in a way that reflects the musical and cultural diversity of Denver. “We’re really excited about this year’s slate of amazing performers,” said Bob Nelson, president of the nonprofit City Park Jazz Board of Directors. “We open with longtime Denver favorite Selina Albright, we have a very funky newcomer to our stage in The Messers and we’re closing out with the Sammy Mayfield Revue. We’ve got a great, eclectic and culturally diverse mix of bands sprinkled in between.” The season runs every Sunday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. starting June 7. The free concerts are staged at the bandshell in City Park. For information, visit www.cityparkjazz.org.

Man reflects on 100 years of life Willard Mounts marks birthday with family, friends and stories By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com

Sunlight pours through a picture window, lending a brilliant gleam to Willard Mounts’ crystal-clear blue eyes. They are the knowing eyes of someone who has seen it all, and they are intensely present while he recalls his youth, complete with dates and minute details. Willard pauses his storytelling as, one after another, visitors stop by his recliner to wish him a happy 100th birthday. Willard greets them with a friendly elbowbump — an effective way of avoiding germs — and confesses that he isn’t feeling too well. He is fighting the excruciating pain of shingles, which first arrived on his 100th birthday a few weeks earlier and caused him to postpone the party until April 12. - But in spite of not sleeping well the night -before, Willard is jovial and sharp as ever, and the is surrounded by family and friends at his -daughter’s rural home on Parker’s eastern flank. They are marking the occasion with ustyle and plenty of good food. r Willard is eager to talk about his days -growing up in coal-mining country on the border of West Virginia and Kentucky. For ethose who want the long version, they can eread the first part of his 67-page autobiogratphy, which is being given to any guest who wants one. He has written three books, including a 400-year history of the families of r Daniel Boone and Abraham Lincoln that’s in d its third printing. Willard is not just a writer; he is a devoted consumer of books. y “I still read every day now,” he says. Incredibly, he does this without the aid of / glasses. Cataract surgery saw to that. Willard was a longtime presence at the local library after he retired as a comptroller in 1980, and now he calls employees on the phone when he wants some information. Most recently, he inquired about John -Denver’s hometown and final resting place. nWillard doesn’t know the helpful employees -from Douglas County Libraries by name, but bthey know him, and a handful even attended -his 100th birthday party. s At times, Willard seems surprised by his down longevity and ability to do everyday ,tasks. “Do you know any 100-year-olds that still -write?” he asks while signing his autobiogradphy for a relative. - When someone answers that they, in fact, edon’t know any 100-year-olds at all, he reesponds: “I’m the only one I ever knew, too.” Willard attributes his long life to several 0factors, and the first suggestion he has for -people who want the same is “never worry tabout anything,” he says. He says healthy eatding, an active lifestyle, and a constant thirst -for knowledge are important. His daughter, Linda Williams, points out that “the Lord has .a lot to do with it.” Willard was driving up until three years ago, and a fall limited his ability to get around easily. But he still goes to church every Sunnday, and rides an exercise bike and lifts sweights regularly. s The man who was born just three years -after the Titanic sank is no stranger to adsventure. He served as a Boy Scout master for t32 years, and even arranged for a group of yScouts to travel to Russia shortly after the fall

of the Berlin Wall. His outgoing and inquisitive personality has afforded him the chance to do some improbable things. Williams recalls the time her dad was given permission to remove the glass from the top viewing deck of the Statue of Liberty so he could get better photos. Another time, and one that Willard remembers well, he asked the captain of a cruise liner if he could pilot the boat for a few minutes. Soon after, Willard found himself navigating through Alaska’s famed Inside Passage. While recounting stories during his party, Willard realizes something: he might have to update his autobiography, he says.

Tours explore old cabin, mammoth site Societies mark historic preservation month Staff report A pair of free tours on May 2 will give area history buffs the opportunity to learn about some of Douglas County’s inhabitants from days gone by, from the mammoths of prehistoric times to the pioneering homesteaders of the 1860s. The guided tours, which are sponsored by the Douglas County Historic Preservation Board, the Roxborough Area Historical Society and the Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve Board, will pay a visit to the Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve, as well as the Miksch-Helmer Cabin, the oldest-standing structure in the Chatfield area. The cabin, made of Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine, was built by Amos Miksch, a former corporal in the Colorado Volunteer Calvary who acquired a 160-acre plot through the Homestead Act of 1862. Miksch later sold the cabin to the Helmer family and was among those who testified against Col. John Chivington for his role in leading 700 Colorado Territory militiamen at the Sand Creek Massacre. After purchasing the small cabin along Willow Creek in the Rampart Range, the Helmers kept it in the family for generations, buying and developing approximately 3,800 acres in the surrounding area and turning it into a cattle and mining operation. And while their stories are some of the older tales of the area, the history at nearby Lamb Spring dates back much further — to the end of the last Ice Age, to be precise. It is on this site where bones from more than 30 mammoths have been discovered over the course of multiple excavations by the Smithsonian Institution

in the 1960s and 1980s. The remains trace back between 11,000 and 13,000 years. Registration is required for the two May 2 tours, which are marking National Historic Preservation Month. Those who are interested are encouraged to RSVP quickly before the tours fill up. Visit www.lambspring.org to sign up or call 303-660-7460 for more information.

‘Legally Blonde’ comes to ThunderRidge stage Musical has roots in movie from 2001 By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com The vivacious Elle Woods takes over the ThunderRidge High School stage from April 23 to May 2 as the school’s drama department presents the popular musical “Legally Blonde.” The story about the smart, pink-clad blond California girl, who heads to Harvard Law School in pursuit of a man and ends up with a career, began as a 2001 film and was made into a musical that launched on Broadway in 2007. Music is by Lawrence O’Keefe and Neil Benjamin, with book by Heather Hach. At ThunderRidge, Delta Nu president Elle Woods is played by Delainey Phillips. She hopes to eventually marry man-aboutcampus Warner Huntington III (Addison Williams). When he tells her he wants a more serious girlfriend who will help him succeed in a career after graduation from Harvard Law School, she is heartbroken — but comes up with a plan: She’ll go there too. Her Sigma Nu sisters help her study for the LSAT and she scores well and is accept-

IF YOU GO “Legally Blonde” will be presented by ThunderRidge High School actors at 7 p.m. on April 23, 24, 25, 30, May 1, 2 in the ThunderRidge theater, 1991 Wildcat Reserve Parkway, Highlands Ranch. Tickets cost $10 students and $12 adults, at seatyourself.biz or at the door.

ed. At Harvard, she is befriended by teaching assistant Emmett Forrest (Alex Oliver) and meets her nemesis, Professor Callahan (Steven Hansen). She befriends beautician Paulette Bonaforte (Sarah Whaley) and is able to help her with legal advice and boyfriend advice. She ends up involved with a murder trial of fitness queen Brooke Wyndham, accused of murdering her husband, in which Elle and Emmet prevail over Callahan and his team. The ongoing drama is carried along by music, song and dance numbers; and three years later, Elle graduates as valedictorian — and lives happily ever after with Emmett. This is a show for all but the littlest family members.

Bestselling writer Andrew Gross has chosen to send his globe-trotting troubleshooter Ty Hauck to Colorado for his latest adventure. And Gross will appear at Tattered Cover’s new location in Aspen Grove to talk with readers about his latest thriller, “One Mile Under,” at 7 p.m. April 27 — and to sign copies for them. He obviously spent some time in the Carbondale/Aspen area and in Weld County and the Wattenberg oil field territory in the high, dry plains. Descriptions of the surroundings show some homework — as does his integration of the techniques and divisive opinions on fracking into this tale. As a skilled storyteller, he can absorb the looks and politics of his surroundings, then plant the characters he invents and send them into action. We initially meet expert whitewater rafting guide Dani Whalen as she discover the body of a friend, Trey Watkins, along the edge of the Roaring Fork River. She knows that as an experienced rafter and new father, he wouldn’t have crashed in this location — and furthermore, he would not have been on the river without a helmet. Then a balloon crash, a seeming mishap, occurs, and Dani links the two events, which are quickly ruled “accidents” by the local sheriff — and Dani’s ex-stepfather. As she keeps questioning, she is arrested and jailed and her father — out of the country on business — calls on his old friend Ty Hauck to rescue her. “Uncle” Ty Hauck flies in to assist her and the action moves to a mythical high plains town called Templeton, devastated by drought and saddened that the farming Watkins family has lost a son. The plot thickens with the appearance

here and in nearby Greeley of ex-military heavies, hired by a rogue oil company to keep their operation running without obstacles. And, there’s a crusading female lawyer. The action turns wild soon after the funeral and Gross goes into “page-turner” mode with brutal action and hair-raising escapes — the master storyteller at work. Personalities are descriptively presented — although most are obviously “white hat” or “black hat.” The final chapters are the kind that keep a reader up late … I wonder if the movie rights are sold?

Painting of landmark will hang in cafe Castle Rock artist adds to ongoing collection By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Colorado native Cindy Welch of Castle Rock has added to her ongoing collection of “Castle Rock Landmarks — The Cindy Welch Collection,” available as prints at the Colorado Art and Framing Gallery, 505 Second St., Castle Rock. Her latest work is of the building corner and neon sign at the Castle Café, reminiscent of the original “Castle Hotel” sign on the same corner at 403 Wilcox St., which was photographed in the 1920s. The new painting is to be unveiled in a free public event on April 25 (2-4 p.m.) and will hang in the Castle Café. The original hotel was a gathering place from the 1890s on, and today’s cafe still serves that purpose, although the clientele may differ. At one time, deputies had to restrain inebriated cowboys from riding in on their horses, according to the Castle Café’s website. Welch says, “One of my favorite things about Castle Rock is the rich history that has been preserved. Local structures built from the rhyolite stone are a trademark of times gone by. The Castle Café is a great example of this and the historic charm of the building has been preserved beautifully … In this painting, my hope was to capture the historic past and the current charm of this recognizable landmark in downtown Castle Rock.” “In appreciation of the Castle Café’s stewardship of this architectural treasure, Welch and Colorado Art and Framing Gallery will be donating 10 percent of print sales on April 25 to the cafe. In addition a limited quantity of a specially designed postcard will be available,” said gallery owner Lucia McConnell. The Castle Café is a participant in the Castle Rock Historical Society and the Town of Castle Rock’s historic marker program. Twenty downtown properties have historical photos and information

IF YOU GO

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com

“Castle Café,” by Castle Rock painter Cindy Welch is the latest in her series of paintings of Castle Rock’s historic buildings. Prints will be for sale in a special reception at Castle Café, 403 Wilcox St. from 2 to 4 p.m. April 25. Courtesy photo that can be accessed through a QR code displayed on each building. May is proclaimed Historic Preservation Month by the Town of Castle Rock. A framed recognition was presented to the Castle Rock Historical Society and the town’s Historic Preservation Board during the April 21 town council meeting. Welch is a member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and the Greater Castle Rock Art Guild, GCRAG (which has its gallery in the same block on Wilcox Street). She started winning awards in grade school and high school for her art and won a full tuition scholarship to Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design.

I have been fairly consistent for many years in avoiding books, films and plays that verged on horror. But, Martin McDonagh is one of our el primo playwrights — so seeing his play, “The Pillowman” seemed like the thing to do. It is presented through May 2 at the Bug Theatre by the relatively new 11 Minutes Theatre Company, directed by Janine Ann Kehlenbach. It’s been a week since I saw it and it’s still haunting me. The production was so good, despite the small stage and sound limitations of the aging Bug, that it stays with one. I can hear my late friend Carolyn Peterson reassuring me that “it’s just a story.” But … it really is a play about storytelling and its power over the listeners. “The Pillowman,” which won the Olivier Award in Britain for best new play, is set in an interrogation room in an unnamed eastern European country. Katurian (Kevin B. Leonard), the protagonist, is author of some 400 stories — only one published. They are stacked in a box and threatened with burning.

“The Pillowman” plays through May 2 at the Bug Theatre, 3654 Navajo St., Denver Highlands. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and industry night, April 30. Tickets: $20, $12 on industry night. For mature audiences. 11minutestheatre.com, 720-230-3304.

Many deal with gruesome murders of children. The stories have caused his arrest and that of his mentally defective brother Michal (Christian Munck). The policemen — calm but frightening Tupolski (Patrick Brownson) and angry, explosive Ariel (Andrew Neary) — have good reason to suspect Katurian of similar murders that have occurred in the area. Projections designed by Leonard add to the staging. Each character has stories to tell that explain the adult he is now and they lead the audience up and down, in and out — adding more facets to a splintered work. Katurian’s relationship with Michal is bound up with storytelling as well. As the play crashes to an end, one is uncertain about what really might have happened. And that’s probably McDonagh’s point.

Performances: 8 p.m. Buntport Theater Company. (The Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 3 fifth, SamAnTha Schmitz, is bep.m. April 26. Tickets: $16/$20 hind the scenes operating lights closing night. Reservations and sound.) Thus begins “Middle recommended, 720-946-1388, Aged People in Boxes.” buntport.com. Rollman, seated on a stool in an upright box. begins with a discourse on middle age. “It’s hard to define. If you lived in Sierra Leone, you’d have to consider yourself middle aged at 18 …” She is in charge of a class reunion. “I’m doing my thing — was a class officer 25 years ago — did it to spruce up my college application …” Edborg, seated cross-legged in a lower, wider box and endlessly unpacking unrelated items he has just moved, chimes in with “I distrust signs of aging — it’s only true because you declare it about yourself ...” He spouts entertaining comments on what he finds in his boxes as the evening progresses: kitchen utensils packed with a decorative pillow, etc. “Is this a mid-life crisis? I might have too many kitchen gadgets …” In the meantime, from the first breath, Brian Colonna, clad in shirt and underpants, is on terminal hold on the phone, trailing around the long white cord as he searches for his socks. (One must put socks on first, then pants!) “They say they can’t find me in their system,” he mutters as he tries to file a complaint. He can stick his feet through a hole in the bottom of his box and walk it around. Hannah Duggan is intent on her laptop, “checking Fortune 500 companies for diversity …. It’s my job.” She is able to reach out and operate a vacuum on the carpet. The quartet keeps talking for about 90 minutes, referring to things like card catalogs that date them clearly. This as the clever kind of original production Buntport creates and performs so well — it’s why they have built a large following over the years. But you have to be there to fully appreciate.

Buildings open doors for rare opportunity Architecture is star of show for two-day event By Sonya Ellingboe

Denver Architectural Foundation will headquarter at Union Station, -1701 Wynkoop St., on April 25 and e26, as it offers visits to more than 50 tfederal, state and city structures, repurposed buildings, churches, libraries and mansions in defined districts throughout the city. Biking, walking and driving tours are scheduled and most buildings are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Self-guided tours are free and one can go to Union Station and sign up for special Insider Tours — if available. Many of these sites are not ordinarily open to the public. Among suggestions listed on the inclusive doorsopendenver.com website are these from “Dr. Colorado,” Tom Noel: • Byers-Evans Mansion, 1310 Bannock St., “opens door on the lives of fDenver’s greatest developer (Gov. John -Evans) and greatest promoter (Rocky e

Mountain News founder-editor William Newton Byers).” • Equitable Building, 730 17th St. “Ever since 1892, the Equitable has reigned as Denver’s finest office building. Now being restored, it has a fantastic lobby. You can pick up here a fine, free history of the Equitable and its ghosts.” • St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral, 1350 Washington St. “A visit to this heavenly place will give you a special blessing. Don’t miss the Adam and Eve stained glass window in the corner of the sanctuary. This seductive Eve there had to be sent back to the stained glass factory to add a strategic rose bush so church goers would not be aroused.” • Slatterpaull Architects/Denver Engine House # 5, 1331 19th St. “A leading historic preservation firm practices what it preaches and restored this handsome but abandoned and derelict fire station into their spectacular new architecture offices.” • Kirkland Museum, 1311 Pearl St. “Hugh Grant has restored a handsome old art studio into an awesome collection of fine and decorative arts, both world-famous works and that of Colorado artists.”

The Governor’s Residence at the Boettcher Mansion, 400 E. 8th Ave. is included among the sites one can visit during Doors open Denver. Courtesy photo

Englewood jazz night to help band program

I t n h o

School district has kept ncommitment to creativity

0 t The Englewood Band Boosters plan a program to raise money for the band proogram — and it promises an evening of good r l

listening plus a pasta dinner. The event, the Second Annual Jazz Night, will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. April 30 at The Englewood Campus, 3800 S. Logan St., Englewood. There will be memorabilia for sale, such as a 1990-2014 era uniform and a silent auction with other items for bidding. Featured musicians will be: Englewood High School Jazz 1 and Jazz 2, Englewood Middle School Jazz, and the Tyson Haynes Quartet in a guest performance. At a time when many schools are cut-

ting music programs, Englewood is demonstrating commitment by expanding the music program. Englewood offers marching band, jazz band, concert band, orchestra and percussion. The expansion is made possible by the commitment of the school district, partnerships with educational organizations and fundraising efforts such as this one. Monies raised support music at middle and high school levels. Haynes is a saxophonist who teaches in Denver Public Schools. His quartet will

bring professional performance into the evening’s entertainment — and should inspire the young musicians. A news release says Brian Ewert, Englewood superintendent, is also on the program for “a special appearance.” For questions, contact Heather Hunt, heather27huny@gmail.com (allow 24 hours for response) Tickets come in various packages and prices.

Mountain Vista passes test Golden Eagles edge Rock Canyon, 1-0 By Jim Benton

Jbenton@Colorado CommunityMedia.com Mountain Vista wanted to be tested and Rock Canyon did just that in an important Continental League soccer match on April 14 at Shea Stadium. In the previous eight outings, the Golden Eagles had a victory margin of 6.8 goals a game but it took a goal by senior Morgan McDougal in the 29th minute to give Mountain Vista a 1-0 victory over the Jaguars. “It was a big league game for us and we knew Rock Canyon was going to give us a great game,” said Vista coach Theresa Echtermeyer after her team stretched its winning streak to nine games on a windy evening. “We needed a game that was going to challenge us and Rock Canyon brought everything.” Rock Canyon was ranked second in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll and Mountain Vista was fourth. Key moments: Mountain Vista’s corner kick ended up going to the opposite sideline but Giselle Sawaged ran down the ball and lofted a centering pass in front of the goal and McDougal headed in the game-

winner. “The ball went right over the keeper and right to my head,” said McDougal. “I was at the right place at the right time. We’ve needed this kind of game to test our backs, our speed of play and how strong we are and the actual grit that we have. It was a needed game.” Rock Canyon coach Mat Hebest has one of the state’s best defensive teams but feels the Jaguars could have sidestepped giving Vista the corner kick that produced McDougal’s goal. “As good as Vista was, the goal was completely avoidable,” he said. “We didn’t have to give them a corner kick. Our player thought she was under pressure and wasn’t. She miskicked the ball and they get a corner kick.” Key players/statistics: Mountain Vista junior Mallory Pugh, who has 19 goals and 48 points in seven games, and Rock Canyon senior defender Alex Vidger didn’t play. Both players were participating in the Team USA women’s U20 national training camp in Carson, Calif. “It was more difficult and challenging for both teams but certainly for us,” said Henbest. “Trying to maintain possession was more difficult with the pressure they put us under and we didn’t have Alex there to help us out.” They said it: “I consider them two of the best teams in the state and it was 1-0 each

Going forward: Mountain Vista, which was shut out in its first two games of the campaign, concludes the regular season with an April 28 game against top-ranked ThunderRidge in a match that could likely be for the league title.

Matt and Chris Givin are getting it done in different ways for Rock Canyon By Jim Benton

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Matt Givin respects his older brother Chris, but he doesn’t hesitate to rub it in once in a while. Matt, the sophomore class president at Rock Canyon, will often tell Chris that he managed to get a hit off his brother during practice. Chris is a senior shortstop who has been asked to take over pitching duties for the Jaguars baseball team and has done pretty well. Both Givin brothers have been playing well this season for Rock Canyon, which is off to a 12-2 start. “Chris is normally our starting shortstop and is going to Xavier to be their shortstop,” said Rock Canyon coach Tyler Munro. “He has some of the best hands I’ve ever seen. He’s a Division I fielder. “Out of necessity, we needed him to be a pitcher for us this year. He’s taken well to it and has obviously been successful thus far, but in order to baby his arm a little, we’ve had to have him DH instead of play shortstop.” Chris Givin is ranked among the Continental League leaders in several categories. He is hitting .647 with a slugging percentage of 1.088 and 18 runs scored in statistics compiled through 14 games. He has two home runs, 12 runs batted in, three stolen bases and a .774 on base percentage. As a starting pitcher this season he has compiled a 1.14 earned run average with four wins and 29 strikeouts in 30.2 innings pitched. “I pitched some last year in relief, but it has gone pretty well this season,” said Chris, who made four appearances on the mound during the 2014 season in which he hit .349 as a junior. Matt Givin, a third baseman, is hitting .444 with nine RBI. In 90 combined plate appearance the Given brothers have drawn 18 walks, been hit by a pitch eight times, have three sacrifices, and struck out seven times. “Matt is a couple years younger,” said Munro. “He’s come on very strong of late, especially at the plate. I believe he, too, might be a Division I player, but they are very different players and people.

“Chris is more vocal and happy go lucky. Matt is more reserved. Chris is more of a singles, speed guy at the plate while Matt may become more of a power hitter. Besides their last names being the same, you really don’t realize they’re brothers playing together. Their one commonality? I truly enjoy coaching both.” Xavier coach Scott Googins was delighted when Chris Givin signed a letter of intent to attend the Cincinnati school. “Chris is a skilled infielder with all the tools to stay at shortstop at the next level,” he said in a press release. “He handles the bat very well, and as he continues to get stronger, we think he will show legitimate power numbers. His knowledge and passion for the game is evident in the way he plays.” Xavier signed 11 players who will join the Musketeer team next fall, and two were from Colorado. Besides Chris Givin, the other Colorado player signed was pitcher Taylor Williams from Douglas County. This season, Williams is 2-3 in eight appearances and has a 4.42 ERA. He has struck out 33 batters in 31.2 innings pitched. “Taylor is athletic and has a very fast arm,” said Googins. “He has shown us the ability to pound the strike zone with four pitches. With his continued work and development he should figure into innings right away.’’

Brothers givin’ opponents fits

Highlands Ranch outslugs Ponderosa Liffrig’s grand slam HR sparks 8-run fourth inning By By Jim Benton

Jbenton@Colorado CommunityMedia.com Game summary: Highlands Ranch scored early and often on the cold, windy afternoon of April 15 and snapped a twogame Continental League losing streak with a 12-11 victory over host Ponderosa. Senior designated hitter Andrew Liffrig belted a grand slam home run to cap an eight-run fourth inning which gave Highlands Ranch a 12-6 lead and the Falcons held on to claim the victory. “Our boys can swing it, and when they see somebody they like, they swing it,” said Falcons coach Joseph Gleason. Ponderosa had to call ace lefthander Bryan King, the league’s strikeout leader, into the game in the fourth inning in relief of Austin Narro who took over in the fourth from starter Alan Jeanjaquet. Key moments: Nick Shumpert, the league’s leading hitter, tripled to lead off the Falcons’ fourth inning. A double by Quinton Bonell, a hit batter and two walks set the stage for Liffrig to add more damage to the two runs already scored in the inning. “We had a lot of guys that put some good ABs (at bats) together, and all of a sudden I’m up there with the bases load and got a fastball and hit it out,” said Liffrig. “It was a slugfest and anytime you can go out and put some runs up, that’s how you win games.” Michael Forienza’s two-run single capped the outburst and the Falcons survived a two-run homer by Nate Whalen in the bottom of the seventh to hold off the scrappy Mustangs. Key players/statistics: Highlands Ranch

was outhit 13-8, but Ponderosa couldn’t recover from the early deficit. Shumpert had two hits and two stolen bases to give him 18 steals so far this season. He is hitting .686. Morgan McIntosh also had two hits for the Falcons. Ryder Ghidotti, Dane Grounds and Mitch Halloran each collected two hits for Ponderosa, which lost its second consecutive game. Going forward: The win was the ninth in 12 games for Highlands Ranch and keeps them in the hunt for a possible state playoff berth.

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF APRIL 20, 2015

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t be put off by a seemingly too-tangled situation. Sometimes a simple procedure will unsnarl all the knots and get you in the clear fast and easy, just the way the Lamb likes it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time to go through your work space -- wherever it is -- and see what needs to be replaced and what can be tossed (or at least given away) without a second thought. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Someone who disagrees with your position might try to intimidate you. But continue to present a fair argument, regardless of how petty someone else might be while trying to make a point.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might find yourself exceptionally sensitive to family matters this week. An issue could come to light that you had overlooked. Ask other kinfolk to discuss it with you. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might have more questions about a project (or perhaps someone you’re dealing with on some level) than you feel comfortable with. If so, see which can be answered, which cannot, and why. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) It’s a good time to clean up and clear out what you don’t need before your tidy self is overwhelmed by “stuff.” Then go celebrate the Virgo victory over clutter with someone special. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel a mite confused about why something you were sure couldn’t go wrong didn’t go all right either. Be patient. Things soon move into balance, exactly as you like it. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) At this decision point, you could be moving from side to side, just to say you’re in motion. Or you could be considering making a move straight up. What you choose is up to you. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Although your finances should be in an improved situation at this time, thrift is still the savvy Sagittarian’s smart move. Advice from a spouse or partner could be worth heeding. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Taking on a new challenge brings out the Goat’s skills in maneuvering over and around difficult spots. Best of all, the Goat does it one careful step after another. (Got the idea, Kid?) AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your wellknown patience might be wearing thin because of a disturbing (and seemingly unending) problem with someone close to you. This could be a time to ask for help. Good luck. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be careful about a new venture that lures you into a “just-look-and-see” mode. Be sure that what you’re being given to see isn’t hiding what you should be seeing instead.
