Budget to boost teachers’ salaries District also proposes higher per-student funding By Jane Reuter

Fifth-graders re-enact noted Civil War fight By Ryan Boldrey

he battle lines were drawn as Union soldiers charged into Confederate territory and partook in the re-creation of the single bloodiest day in American history. And for the SkyView Academy fifthgraders, who got to act out the Battle of Antietam May 7 at Chatfield State Park, it will no doubt be a day they never forget. “Sometimes learning about history can be a little boring and tedious, but getting to act it out is really fun,” said Cambrie Vergeire, who played the part of a private in the Confederate army. “I’ve always wanted to be an actor so it was a chance to see what that’s like and we also got to learn about what it is like to be a soldier, all the walking and marching and having guns. It’s good we don’t have to go through what they did.” Cambrie will not only take her lessons learned with her, but will have the chance to watch her acting debut after a 30-min-

ute DVD of the battle is compiled. The school, which joined up with Colorado Academy on its field trip, partnered for the second consecutive year with You Can Live History, a Colorado nonprofit that has reached more than 100,000 students in 22 years throughout Colorado and Wyoming, putting together re-enactments, filming them, and educating the students about the battles. “There were 23,000 soldiers killed, missing or wounded during 12 hours in the Battle of Antietam,” said Darrell Osburn, president and founder of the organization. “To put it in perspective, on 9/11 we lost 3,000 people in one day, and the population of the United States was almost exactly one-tenth what it is now back then. People don’t realize what a big deal it was. It affects our nation and our politics to this day.” Osburn said the goal of the re-enactments is to get the students excited about history, and that the more they learn about war, the more he hopes they will work for peace.

That goal resonated with fifth-grader Maxim Grenier, who entered the re-enactment with a passion for history and a desire to someday become a soldier. Afterward, Maxim said he no longer wanted to be a soldier. “I comprehended what it was like being right in the middle of battle and getting to feel what the soldiers felt with all the casualties and people dying around them,” said Maxim, who portrayed a Confederate sergeant major. SkyView teacher Erin Bidwell doesn’t remember what side she was on as a Denver Christian student in 1997, but she did recall participating in one of Osburn’s battles, which prompted the inclusion of his field days to the school’s lesson plans. “It was one thing that I still remembered from fifth grade,” she said. “It’s fun to get the students excited about history and to know they get to experience it rather than just read about it in a book or watch a video. This is what it would be like, or at least as close as we can get it to.”

The Douglas County School District plans an average 4 percent pay increase for teachers in 2013-14, one of several good-news budget recommendations announced May 7. But under the district’s new pay-forperformance program, not all teachers are guaranteed an increase. Teachers rated “ineffective” would not get more money, according to DCSD. Pay for performance is “a bit of a change from the past,” said school board president John Carson. “But we expect, by and large, teachers are going to do well under (pay for performance), so on average it’s going to be 4 percent.” Carson DCSD cites the improving state economy and in-district savings for allowing the budget changes, which also include more money for students and the elimination of a $25 parent-paid technology fee. The expected state-provided per-pupil revenue will increase by about $165 per student. The district also will add its own money to that pot for a total funding increase of $200 per student, which totals $11.2 million. “We’re going to be able to put $200 more (per student) into the classrooms because we’ve found efficiencies in the overall budget, so we can do even a little better than what we’re getting from the state,” Carson said. DCSD plans to cover the $2.2 million annual increase in contributions to the Public Employees Retirement Association of Colorado, and the $1.2 million increase in medical plan costs for all teachers. That leaves $12 million — or 4 percent — for salaries, half of which will be a permanent pay increase and the other half a one-year, one-time bump. “This will be our second consecutive year of raises after a number of years where the economy didn’t allow for raises,” Carson said. “Now we’re back on track to where we think we’ll be able to continue giving our teachers regular raises.” How much — or whether — each teacher’s paycheck will grow hinges on a complex set of factors. DCSD’s new, controversial evaluation system categorizes an educator’s teaching style on a range from “highly effective” to “ineffective.” Pay increases are based in part on that rating. Pay also is determined by a teacher’s placement on the market-based pay scale. It established a salary range based on subject matter, with higher salaries given to those who provide instruction in more complex or specialized areas. For instance, a social studies or business teacher falls into a lower-paying salary band than a science or Chinese language teacher. The two scales are tightly enmeshed. So Budget continues on Page 13

May 16, 2013

Markets sprout, and farmers survive The early morning chill, left over from winter’s most recent unwelcome blast, settles along the quiet street where blue and white canopies have popped up like overdue buds, signaling the arrival of the season’s first farmers market. Soft music, lingering from a nearby restaurant, punctures the hush, along with occasional laughter and voices from vendors as they ready tables with wares and hopes for a good day. Danish bakery workers pull sugarcrusted strudels — apricot and apple raisin — from their truck to shelves along the sidewalk. Nearby is the homemade peanut butter woman and the Angus beef man and the cheerful El Salvador cook. At the end is the farmer. He is 63, the great-grandson of a farmer who bought a plot of land 108 years ago in Welby, between Denver and Thornton, off North Washington Street. Today, he has 80 acres in Hudson, a country town of 2,300 northeast of Denver on Interstate 76, a solid hour-and15-minute drive to the Sunday market in Highlands Ranch. He stands next to his white truck, watching the market unfold, an everpresent cigarillo clutched in a weathered hand that tells a story of a working life rooted in the soil. He is a content man whose easy smiles crinkle soft grooves around blue eyes that peer intently from a sun-worn face. “I might not be farming today if it weren’t for the markets,” Alan Mazzotti says. “They’ve kept us in business.” And they’ve kept us, the customers, connected to a less complicated time, when people knew who had grown the food on their table — a slice of knowledge that cultivated gratitude and nurtured community. Sean and Maria McAfee, married 22 years, can’t drive by a farmers market without stopping, whether it’s along the

coastal drive to San Francisco or in their hometown. When they lived in Evergreen, they visited the local market there every Tuesday. Now, in Highlands Ranch, they never miss a Sunday. It’s a matter of principle and a matter of friendship. Besides the benefit of fresh produce, “I’d rather pay a little more to support local people,” Maria says. “We’re big believers in moving away from the Walmartization of the U.S.” And, over the years, many vendors have become friends — the Angus beef man invited them to his wedding last year. “They become part of the fabric of your life,” Maria says. “We were so excited,” Sean says of the week leading up to opening day. “We were talking about this all week.” They walk away, hand in hand, each with a small bag. Basil and oregano seedlings in one, peanut butter, pasta and honey in the other. This time, “we didn’t have a lot to buy,” Maria says. “It was seeing old friends.” Colorado has more than 100 farmers markets, with about half in the Denver metro area, according to the state Department of Agriculture. They operate individually or through sponsoring organizations. Most are seasonal, running from May through October, and their arrival seems to signal the start — finally

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

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

Mountain Vista seniors show leadership Make-A-Wish Foundation beneﬁted from teens’ help By Ryan Boldrey rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com When the Class of 2013 at Mountain Vista High School walks across the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre May 22, those in attendance will no doubt hear the word “leadership” used to describe them. “They have been excellent senior leaders,” said Assistant Principal Alan Long. “They have led the way for all of the other classes and have set the example for everything we have done — citizenship, leadership, sportsmanship, all of those things.” The class helped to raise more

than $20,000 for the Make-AWish Foundation this school year while granting three different children their wishes, prompting student leadership sponsor Doreen Smith to call them “an inspiration.” “This is an amazingly talented group that understands the true definition of service leadership,” Smith said. “They held a leadership conference with all of our feeder schools in January and students provided workshops (for the younger kids).” Mountain Vista graduating seniors will continue to hone their leadership schools at such institutions of higher learning as New York University, Yale, Columbia, Carnegie Mellon, Bard College, Creighton University, Emory University, Boston College, Edinburgh University and Notre

HRHS grads’ accomplishments lengthy Class of 2013 called gifted, well-rounded, civic-minded By Jane Reuter jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Describing all the accomplishments of Highlands Ranch High School’s class of 2013 would take a very long time, Principal Jerry Goings said. “If I started to name off the number of unbelievable scholarships, you’d be writing several pages about our senior class,” he said. “This is an unbelievable class in terms of outstanding kids on the academic side. But not only that, this class is going down as the most civic-minded, responsible, nice group of kids.

They are just so pleasant and so well-rounded.” The graduates include two Boettcher scholarship winners: Floyd Pierce and Amy Chen. Chen was also honored with the U.S. Presidential Scholar award. Overall, HRHS seniors have received a conservatively estimated $5 million in scholarships, and the tally still is growing.

Beyond their scholastic achievements, the seniors have changed the larger community. Students are required to log at least 20 community-service hours during their four years of high school, but several members of this class left that initial mandate in the dust. “We have right at 20 kids that have served over 250 community service hours,” Goings said. “A couple of those students served over 1,000.” Sad as he is to see them go, Goings looks forward to hearing back from the members of the class of 2013. “I tell you, they’re going to do amazing things,” he said.

Valor Christian’s fourth class largest yet By Ryan Boldrey rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com If there is one word that best describes the Class of 2013 at Valor Christian High School, Fonda Kempton, the school’s director of college guidance, would have to choose the word “unity.” “Even though it’s our biggest class yet, they are very unified,” Kempton said. “They are great about doing things together. It’s impressive to see.” The class, which boasts 176 graduates, may have defined itself best through athletic dominance, and according to Kempton, it has 26 student-athletes that have signed to continue their playing careers at the collegiate level. No athletic program left a bigger mark than football, in which Valor seniors earned state championships in Class 3A in 2009, Class 4A in 2010 and 2011 and Class 5A in 2012.

Now, they’re leaving the school to pursue their own dreams. The school started its annual fundraising week for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in 2010, shattering records each year since then and ranking among the graduating class’ most memorable accomplishments. “These students are very proud of what they’ve accomplished,” Principal An-

Program recipient, will be represented in the fall at such institutions as the Air Force Academy, Gonzaga, BYU, Lewis and Clark College, the University of Rochester, Hawaii Pacific and the University of Oregon as well as a host of others. In addition to a strong example set in the classroom for future classes to follow, the ThunderRidge Class of 2013 left their mark in the school trophy case as well with a slew of league championship trophies and memories of a number of student-athletes who participated at state

HRCA calls for parade entries July 4 spectacle to honor World War II veterans By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com Independence Day may still be a ways off, but parades don’t get planned overnight. The Highlands Ranch Community Association is putting out its annual call for entries for this year’s parade, and is asking all groups interested in walking, riding, driving, or engineering a float down the 1.3-mile route to reserve a spot by June 8. This year’s parade, sponsored by Ralph Schomp Honda and cosponsored by Children’s Hospital Colorado, will honor veterans of

World War II. “We are losing our World War II veterans,” said Val Miller, HRCA community partner coordinator. “We want to let them know that we want them in the parade.” Leading the parade this year will be a trio of World War II veterans employed by the HRCA who will serve as the 2013 Grand Marshals. Navy veterans Curt Chambers and Dave Monroney will be joined by Army Air Forces veteran Bill Harkness. Miller said the organization isn’t just putting out the call to World War II vets, but wants all veterans to come be recognized by marching or riding in the parade. In addition to veterans, the community association is welcoming nonprofit organizations, classic cars, community groups,

Scouts, neighborhood groups, school groups, political candidates and businesses. There is no charge to participate in the parade, with the exception of businesses and political candidates. For more information about participating in the parade, please contact Miller at 303-471-8828 or valerie.miller@hrcaonline.org. To register, pick up an entry form at any of the Highlands Ranch recreation centers or go to www. hrcaonline.org, visit the calendar and click on the link for the July 4 event. This year’s parade is scheduled to take place from 9 to 10:30 a.m. and will be preceded by a family, pet and bike parade at 8:45. Parade entrants will start lining up at 7:30.

Ponderosa High School Principal Chuck Puga waited four years to see his school’s name on Newsweek’s annual America’s Best High Schools list. His patience finally was rewarded. “I was ecstatic,” Puga said. “I’ve been applying for the last four years, trying to get us on that list. You’re always proud of the other schools, but when you don’t see your name on there, there’ a little bit of a letdown. This year, we finally made it and we’re really excited about it.” Ponderosa and five other Douglas County School District high schools are listed among Colorado’s top 40, according to Newsweek’s 2013 ranking. All nine of Douglas County’s traditional high schools made Newsweek’s national list of the 2,000 best high schools. Puga attributes Ponderosa’s appearance on the list to steadily improving student performance. Newsweek based its conclusions on 2011-12 data, and indicators including graduation rates, participation in Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs, and acceptance into a two- or four-year college program. “This is because of our outstanding students, excellent teaching staff and supportive community,” Puga said. “The bottom line is, it’s really reflective on the great job we do working together for our students. “I think a lot of it’s just the number of kids we have that are taking (Advanced Placement) tests, and scoring very highly on those. Our ACT and SAT scores, those have helped, and the number of our kids going off to colleges and universities.” In order of their ranking on the state list, the six include Rock Canyon, ThunderRidge, Douglas County, Chaparral, Ponderosa and Highlands Ranch high schools. Their presence on the list is in contrast to U.S. News & World Report’s recently released ranking of best high schools, on which no Douglas County high school appeared. Douglas County School Board President John Carson was not surprised by the news. “It reaffirmed my belief that we’ve got really some of the best schools in the state of Colorado, and the best teachers in the state of Colorado,” he said. “I think that we continue to see evidence of that when people look at the subjective, measurable criteria out there. “I think it certainly reflects we’re doing a good job of preparing kids for college and career success, and that they’re motivated to take a lot more challenging courses while they’re in school. Kids are coming out of school prepared to lead and succeed in life.” Local school officials believe statistics related to low-income and minority students shifted them off the U.S. News’ list. Douglas County high schools have made frequent appearances on both lists over the years. “In our view, (Newsweek’s) six criteria are good, solid, objective criteria you can use to measure results,” Carson said. Douglas County also has night, online and alternative high schools. Newsweek invites schools to self-report information it considers in its ranking. More than 5,000 public high schools were invited to submit data for the 2013 list; nearly 2,500 responded.

STEM School set to expand

22 teachers being hired for 2013-14 By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com Not only will STEM School and Academy in Highlands Ranch add a class of 11th-graders when school resumes in August, but it will do so in a building that will house an extra 12-14 classrooms, a state-of the-art advanced-placement lab and a fieldhouse. The school will initiate a $4.1 million, 30,000-square-foot expansion at its South Ridgeline Boulevard campus once school lets out June 7, helping put a huge dent into its 500-student wait list. The expansion, according to executive director Penny Eucker, also means the school has openings for 22 new teachers for next year. Eucker said the school is seeking teachers in all areas of study who have degrees in the specific fields they plan to teach, as opposed to teacher-education degrees, and said the top priority is hiring teachers to head capstone courses. Enrollment is expected to leap from 610 to 980 before school resumes and is expected to cap out at 1,500 once a K-5 is added in the next few years, somewhere nearby. The wait list has the potential

Photo by Ryan Boldrey to balloon right back up, as Eucker says the school hosts anywhere from 30-70 parents on a weekly basis for tours. In addition to the advanced study and hands-on learning, she said one of the attractions to the school is that the

AP classes are not age-dependent and that if a seventh-grader, for instance, was ready for collegelevel work and passed the placement test, he or she could enroll in the class. “I always tell people on the

tours to look at the student engagement, because when we have 30 parents visiting a classroom, the students may look up, but they don’t break concentration,” Eucker said. “They are so focused on what they are working on that

they don’t attend to distraction. You don’t get that level of engagement unless students are really excited about what they are learning.” Students at STEM School have a lot of crossover between classes, where they may design a concept for a golf course in shop and work on a business plan for it in their writing class and present the business plan in their communications course. “Parents that are in the know understand that the world has changed and schools are often criticized because when a child comes in they have to slow down,” Eucker said. “The world moves so fast and a lot of schools move so slowly. When students walk in here, they have to speed up. … Students here are always moving, thinking quickly and they go home cognitively exhausted, but the space is comfortable.” Eucker said construction on the first phase is expected to be complete in time for school to open on Aug. 12. The second phase of construction consists of a $1.6 million fieldhouse — featuring a running track, climbing wall, and home and away locker rooms — and is anticipated to be complete by the beginning of the second semester.

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

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The Douglas County School Board adopted a resolution May 7 opposing the proposed revamped Public School Finance Act. Senate Bill 213, which hinges on voter approval of a $1 billion tax increase in November, is “profoundly contrary to the best interests” of Douglas County students and taxpayers, according to the resolution. “For every additional dollar of taxes the residents of this county would pay, we would get back maybe 50 cents,” school board President John Carson said. The bill recently passed the General Assembly and now awaits the Gov. John Hickenlooper’s signature. As proposed, it would bring an additional $43 million to $46 million to the Douglas County School District, but about $16 million of that would go to fund additional early childhood education required under the bill. The financial benefit would be further undercut by the impact of a potential state income tax increase on Douglas County’s

‘It’s just bizarre to me (that) we’re saying, essentially, a student in this district who might meet the same criteria doesn’t get the same level of funding.’ John Carson, school board president high per-capita income, school board member Kevin Larsen said. The proposal increases full-day kindergarten, preschool and special education funding, and gives more money to districts with high concentrations of low-income students and English-language learners (ELL). Douglas County has relatively few students who fall into those categories. Douglas County’s dearth of at-risk students already ranks it among the lowest for state per-pupil funding among Colorado school districts, which has been a longstanding cause of concern in DCSD. But Senate Bill 213 expands the definition of at-risk, as well as the funding sent to those most-affected districts. Under the proposal, districts whose enrollment of at-risk

and ELL students exceeds the state average would receive up to 140 percent of the statewide average. Carson noted that Douglas County likely won’t ever reach that concentration of atrisk and ELL students, and consequently won’t be eligible for higher funding. “It’s just bizarre to me (that) we’re saying, essentially, a student in this district who might meet that same criteria doesn’t get the same level of funding,” Carson said. “That, to me, is a glaring flaw in this legislation that I’ve yet to hear any logical explanation for.” Larsen also believes the definition of atrisk is “simplistic” and excludes students with different, but equally serious needs. The proposal decreases the amount of money districts receive for students in

online schools; about 3,000 students from across the Front Range are enrolled in DCSD’s Hope Online Learning Academy. “That’s a pretty significant portion of money,” Larsen said, noting those students also don’t qualify for at-risk funding. “At least in our case, most of our online kids are what would be defined as at-risk.” Finally, Larsen and other board members worry the bill threatens the passage of any local education ballot measure. They believe the statewide tax required to put the program into effect likely would make people hesitant to approve additional education taxes. “It’s largely a political exercise that rewards favored districts,” board member Craig Richardson said of the bill. “I’m also struck by the magnitude of the tax increase. And it’s light on changes. It’s light on reform. It’s light on transformation.” Larsen thinks the statewide tax will be a tough sell. However, the proposal won’t expire until 2017. “So that gives five potential November elections,” he said, “which I think create a five-year window of killing potential (local) mill levies around the state.” If voters approve the ballot measure needed to fund the program, it would take effect in the 2015-16 academic year.

Highlands Ranch historian dies at 80 Caroline Smith was active throughout community By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Longtime president of the Highlands Ranch Historical Society, founder of the garden club, pilot, writer, HRCA delegate for 14 years and proud Daughter of the American Revolution, Caroline Smith, died just before dawn May 9 after a six-month battle with cancer. Smith, well-loved throughout the community and famous for driving her Cadillac painted up in flowers, had a well-traveled past, and according to her son Wallace, never truly put her roots down until she moved to Highlands Ranch in 1997. She had turned 80 on Sept. 11, 2012, one month before her diagnosis. Described by her son as “a 5-foot-2 ball of thunder who was still climbing around in apple trees a year ago,” Smith was born in New York City and raised in Lexington, Ky. She met her husband, George, who survives, as a young lady while he was stationed by the Army outside Lexington. The couple lived in Chicago, where Smith wrote for the Naperville Sun, and then New Jersey before settling in Highlands Ranch, where under her guidance the historical society became what it is today. Smith’s love for history included a stint on the Douglas County Preservation Board, and she also played a role in growing the Highlands Ranch Genealogical Society. She had been writing her own take on Southern history at the time of her death and told the Herald in a 2012 interview that she saw history as a daily happening and something for all generations to be engaged with.

Caroline Smith, an active volunteer in the Highlands Ranch community who served as president of multiple organizations, started the garden club and was an HRCA delegate for 14 years, died May 9 of cancer. File photo “History is not just a big book with a lot of little words and boring dates you have to remember,” she said. “What we really need for the younger generation to understand is that history is fun. They are making history. Everything is history, and they need to learn to be excited about it.” Jamie Noebel, spokeswoman for the Highlands Ranch Community Association, recalled Smith as someone who loved to dress in “old hoop skirts” and had been giving and organizing docent tours at the Highlands Ranch Mansion for years — long

Streambed stabilization sites, timelines chosen Big Dry Creek site of multiple channel projects

before it was renovated. She would dress up in period clothes for all the big occasions. “She was so incredibly active in Highlands Ranch,” Noebel said. “She knew everybody, everything historical. Every blade of grass that had a historical significance she knew about it. She loved bringing history to our modern world. “It will be a big loss for our little community. She made such a difference in so many ways. She really built up the historical society and had such a passion for our com-

munity and loved connecting people with one another.” That passion for connecting people led her to lead the community’s newcomers club for a while, something her son attributes to her having bounced around foster homes as a child and not finding that true “home” until arriving in Highlands Ranch. “I can’t tell you how much she loved Highlands Ranch,” he said, while also recalling another side of his mother — one that was wild and free. She had flown an airplane in the annual transcontinental Powder Puff Derby and was involved with the women’s pilot organization, the Ninety-nines, of which Amelia Earhart had been a charter member. “There wasn’t anything she wouldn’t try of the healthy variety,” he said. “She was famous for saying she wasn’t a feminist. She thought feminism was stupid. She would always say, `why would women want to come down to the level of men?’” Smith, remembered for her infectious smile and laughter, spent the past few months of her life under the care of Denver Hospice, and Wallace said he couldn’t say enough fantastic things about the care they gave. “They made the last couple weeks really comforting for her and our family,” he said. A community service for Smith is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. May 20 at the Chapel at Cherry Hills Community Church, 3900 Grace Blvd. in Highlands Ranch. It will be preceded by a viewing at 9:30 a.m., and the service will be followed by a reception on site. Burial services, scheduled for later that afternoon at Fort Logan National Cemetery, will be private. In addition to her son and husband, and some grandchildren, Smith is also survived by a daughter, Marguerite.

Preferred 6 hours of repair (Repairs must be made before July 1, 2013)

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcolorado news.com The Highlands Ranch Metro District is embarking on four channel stabilization projects, three in different areas of Big Dry Creek and one at Dad Clark Gulch. The four projects, which will cost the district a total of $921,600, will keep water quality standards on par with requirements set by the Colorado Department Of Public Health and Environment, and also will help prevent erosion from damaging trailheads, water and sewer lines. “We realize the open space is a huge amenity in our community and we want to be able to protect it as much as we can,” said Forrest Dykstra, HRMD manager of development engineering, who has been overseeing district stabilization projects for 15 years. “Erosion can move upstream about 100 feet in just a few short months.” Dykstra said while there are numerous stabilization projects they would like to work on, due to financial limitations they have to pick and choose, and the ones that threaten park space, culverts, sewer lines and water lines take top priority even if the amount of erosion is not as severe as

Courtesy photo elsewhere. “In all the soil types we have in this area, the constant flow of water will result in erosion if the channel is steeper than 1 percent,” said Public Works Director Jeff Case. Being a community with pretty steep topography means the district is constantly at work on such projects, he explained. In order to correct the issue of erosion, a stair-step effect is created through the placement of boulders, special concrete, or other organic materials that allow the water to cascade in a more controlled way. The type of material is typically selected to keep the aesthetic consistent with area geography. The exact locations and

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

He is a native of the town and served as a captain until 2012, when new Chief Jack Cauley eliminated the department’s captain and lieutenant positions. Facing a campaign that could last more than a year, Anderson plans to take what he learned from his first run for office and reach as many residents as possible over the next several months. He intends to focus on quality of life, community safety and customer service, which rank high on the list for Douglas County residents, he said. “It’s a big county, people have questions,” Anderson said. “You have to reinforce what you say and it takes time.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is reporting that bicycle thefts have increased dramatically in recent months. Apartment complexes, townhome areas and other highoccupancy dwelling areas, as well as houses with garage doors left open, are the most heavily targeted by thieves. Between April 26 and May 7 the sheriff’s office investigated a minimum of five cases around the county that involved stolen bicycles. In one case a stolen garage door opener was used to gain entry. Some of the bikes have also been taken off front porches despite being locked. When bikes are stolen from inside a garage, home or other structure, the crime is classified as a felony burglary. The sheriff’s office recommends that people keep their garage doors closed and locked and that if they have to leave their bikes outside, such as on the porch, keep the porch light on at night and use a high-quality theft resistant lock that cannot be cut

through with ease. Also, if it is discovered a garage door opener has been stolen, one should change the code so the stolen device can no longer be used.

Foxhill suspect viewed on camera

A suspicious male who attempted to break into two locked vehicles in the 3100 block of Foxhill Place in Highlands Ranch was videotaped on a surveillance camera trying to enter the vehicles at 1:45 a.m. April 26. The suspect, a white, averageheight male wearing a hoodie, drove off in a black or darker-colored, older model Jeep Cherokee.

Landscape lights smashed

Residential landscape lights in the 10800 block of Bobcat Terrace and the 9800 block of Keenan Street in Highlands Ranch were vandalized during the last week of April. The lights at Bobcat Terrace were removed from the property overnight on April 26 and smashed on the street, while the lights at the Keenan Street residence were disconnected and taken sometime after April 22 and before April 29.

opinions / yours and ours

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

our view

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

question of the week

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Make time for what matters I heard the coolest story the other day so I thought I would share it with you all because I found it to be just so very meaningful and powerful. A very close friend of mine was attending church last Sunday and she shared with me the message that was delivered during the Mass by the deacon of the church. And although I will try and capture the details, it is really the essence of the message I hope I can pass along. The deacon shared that every night at 6 in his home all the cell phones, televisions, and anything that would be considered an intrusion on their time is turned off and that he and his wife just talk for 90 minutes. They make time for each other; more importantly, it is uninterrupted time. I found myself questioning my own approach as I talk a lot about focusing on the important things in life, but this was a tactical approach that I thought I could abide by. As a matter of fact, a year or so ago someone else from the community shared with me that not just at 6 at night, but every Sunday is family time and that their entire family turns off their cell phones on

Sunday as they spend time together. So why am I sharing this with you again now? Good question and thanks for asking. You see, in cleaning out my home recently I found a deck of cards with a score sheet folded under it. It was a score sheet that had a game that was only partially completed. My wife and I used to play cards or backgammon in the evenings and apparently the last time we played, we left the game unfinished, believing we would have time to get back to it one day. That day never came as unfortunately my wife lost her long battle to pancreatic cancer last month. Many of you in the community have been awesome supporters through prayers Norton continues on Page 11

Letter to the editor Vouchers offer needed options

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

Highlands Ranch Herald

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

Seek the best “risk-adjusted” returns for each piece of your portfolio. “This means you want to research additions to your portfolio based on risk first,” says KFS Investment Analyst Greg Richards, CFP. Returns are actually a byproduct of how much volatility you are willing to accept.

This can help avoid the short-term high flyers and direct you more towards longterm consistency. 4. Consider what category you are adding more money to and how that category is performing. If you have an opportunity to buy lower in a different sector, consider putting money to work in the undervalued asset class first. Dollar cost average by investing in smaller sums over a period of time to get average pricing over good and bad months. This will lessen some of the pain when the market corrects. 5.

Now that pot is legal, here come the laws Legislature wraps up work on package of regulation bills By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The state Legislature may have passed rules involving sales and usage of recreational marijuana in Colorado, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t unresolved issues surrounding the newly created industry. Questions loom as to whether voters will support the tax model that legislators put in place to support retail pot regulations, and whether the federal government will intervene. Still, lawmakers believe they did good work creating laws to regulate an industry where every movement is in uncharted territory. “Given the short time frame, I think we’ve done the best job we possibly could,” said Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, a major driver of pot legislation this session. “This was the project I undoubtedly spent the most amount of time on this session, to make sure we got it right.” Pabon was the sponsor of House Bill 1317, which creates regulations for the operation of retail marijuana stores. Retail pot shops are to open beginning Jan. 1, under the supervision of the Department of Revenue. There will be limits as to what retail

marijuana stores can and cannot do, as well as how much marijuana consumers are allowed to purchase. Some late-session amendments to the pot legislation would have allowed out-of-state residents to purchase greater amounts of the drug, as well as to permit the existence of marijuana clubs, where people could congregate to use the drug. However, those amendments failed. Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, along with Pabon, was instrumental in crafting the Amendment 64 bills. She opposed those amendments, and said it’s important for the state to go slow in rolling out the new industry. Marijuana use and sales are illegal under federal law, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office has yet to provide insight as to how it will respond to the new legislation. So, lawmakers like Jahn say they wanted to make sure they put in place regulations that support strong oversight and that also keep the drug away from children. “We have so much to lose if we don’t do this right,” Jahn said. “And because we have so many `I don’t know what I don’t knows,’ I just think we have to move really cautiously.” But regulations surrounding the industry are bound to change, and lawmakers certainly will address many other pot-related issues in the coming years. “It’s been 80 years since Prohibition and were still passing alcohol laws today,” said

Pabon. “We’ve had 80 years to protect that system. We’ve had six months to implement this one.” Another key piece of Amendment 64 legislation came in the form of House Bill 1318, which will ask voters to support a 15 percent excise tax, and an initial 10 percent sales tax on retail marijuana. House Republicans unanimously opposed the bill, even though the bill received bipartisan support in the Senate. Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, cautioned that if voters do not approve the tax, the money could end up coming out of the state’s general fund. “It was an issue of making sure we were protecting the state,” McNulty said. “We supported suspending retail operations if the tax doesn’t pass. If the tax doesn’t pass ... and if you’re not putting other options in front of voters, everything that state government does is vulnerable.” Fears over what the voters might end up doing in November led to a late-session effort aimed at a partial repeal of Amendment 64, one that was supported by McNulty. The resolution called for the suspension of retail marijuana sales if the pot taxes are not supported by voters. It would not have affected the decriminalization aspect of Amendment 64, so it still would have been legal to smoke the drug. However, that legislation died almost as quickly as it was introduced in the Senate. Democratic Senate President John Morse

teamed up with fellow Colorado Springs Sen. Bill Cadman, the chamber’s minority leader, to introduce the legislation. The resolution passed in a hastily scheduled committee hearing, just three days before the session ended. But it was never brought to the floor of the Senate for consideration. Morse said he “didn’t have the votes” to get the resolution passed. But he said he hoped the crafting of the legislation sent a message to the pro-Amendment 64 lobby, that they need to ensure the tax rate passes in November. Pabon said he didn’t think the partial repeal effort “ever would have gotten out of (a House) committee, let alone to the floor.” “At the end of the day, the voters have already spoken about this issue and they don’t need to take another vote on it,” Pabon said. Gov. John Hickenlooper said he’s confident that Amendment 64 backers will work with lawmakers in making sure that the taxes pass in November, so that the state isn’t stuck with the bill. “I think we’ll all work on it,” the governor said. “I think they’ll commit resources because if it doesn’t pass, their lives will become chaos. And I don’t even want to speculate what the federal government will do. I don’t even want to speculate what the people of Colorado will do. “They can take it nonchalantly at their own risk.”

Schwab attends groundbreaking Founder of namesake company says campus will give ‘better edge’ By Jane Reuter

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

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

fact is, for every big company that locates here, there are several smaller companies that come in and feed off the new economic cluster created.” “That runway out there is not just a piece of concrete that connects Arapahoe and Douglas counties,” said Republican Rep. Chris Holbert of Parker, one of the HB 13-1080 sponsors. “It’s actually a portal to new opportunities.” House District 43 Republican Rep. Frank McNulty joked that SB 13-060 was not really a jobs bill, “unless you’re an inmate in Canon City.” The bill, sponsored by McNulty, creates a Civil Air Patrol license plate. “This is just a small way to recognize the tremendous work this organization does,” he said. Hickenlooper signed the license plate bill into law on the tail of a Civil Air Patrol plane, much to the delight of several uniformed CAP members in attendance. According to Airport Executive Director Robert Olislagers, who helped author major portions of the Aviation Development Zone Act, aviation in Colorado contributes an estimated $11 billion to

Further complicating the calculations is the four-year salary freeze teachers endured during the deepest point of the recession. “Part of the evaluation of the belowmarket and above-market has to do with the pay freezes,” said DCSD spokeswoman Cinamon Watson. “If somebody was hired four years ago, their pay was frozen for four years, and we’ve since hired people at salaries above them, we need to catch those folks up.” The budget is scheduled for adoption in June.

Centennial is currently home to several major aviation and

aerospace companies, including Sierra Nevada Corp. and Jeppesen.

State seen as leader in energy independence Udall says innovation, investments are key By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews. com When it comes to energy independence, U.S. Sen. Mark Udall admits there’s no silver bullet. But there is “silver buckshot,” he said. Udall, who was in Centennial on May 10 at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, said one of Colorado’s most promising areas of growth will be energy, and not just in fossil fuels. However, according to the second-generation Democratic statesman, in order to seize the opportunities that come with energy, the government must first eliminate economic barriers that hinder new product and job development. For Udall, those barriers are immigration reform and a balanced budget. Although statistics show unemployment is down and housing starts are up, Udall said it’s not enough, and Colorado’s diverse energy landscape may be the key to keeping the economy growing. “Colorado is truly a balanced

model for a national energy policy,” Udall said. “Just think about it — we’ve got solar in the San Luis Valley, we’ve got wind towers on the Eastern Slope of the state, we’ve got natural gas and coal and oil on the Western Slope. We’ve got it all and we’re showing the showing the nation — and literally the world — how to achieve energy independence.” An advocate for renewable energy, Udall went on to explain that innovation will play a role in maintaining balance between energy production and the environment. “One success story is a methane capture project in Somerset, Colo.,” said Udall. “And what this project does is take a waste product — which is methane — and turns it into electricity.” The project is a collaboration between Aspen Skiing Co. and Oxbow Mining LLC to explore the untapped potential of coal bed methane. Udall pointed out that methane gas is either burned off or vented away from the mine. “This waste product now powers all of Aspen’s four ski areas, 13 restaurants and three hotels,” he said. “And this is all because members of the private sector decided to come together and find an in-

Photo by Deborah Grigsby novative job-creating solution.” But while Udall cites the Oxbow model as an example of success, he also points out that the transition to renewable resources must come gradually. “We will eventually get there,” he said. “When you think about it, fossil fuels are finite.” But in the meantime, Udall said the state should continue responsible development of more traditional energy resources. “We in Colorado have a tre-

mendous opportunity to lead the world in oil and natural gas production,” he said. “Why? Because there have been innovations in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing and they will help fuel our economic recovery and make our nation more energy-independent.” But Udall admits development is moving closer and closer to residential areas. “I believe that oil and gas development is an industrial pro-

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

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

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Twenty-nine World War II veterans from communities along the Front Range, representing every branch of the military service, used words like “amazing,” “memorable” and “emotional” to describe their Rocky Mountain Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C. “This was a very special trip for me. It was very memorable,” Littleton resident Frank Epperson, who flew with the famous Flying Tigers in China, said of the May 2-4 trip. “I appreciate all the honor flight did to make this a special trip for those of us who served in World War II. I was humbled and honored when people I have never met come up to thank me for my service. This is a trip I will not forget.” Rocky Mountain Honor Flight, a Denver-based nonprofit, gives World War II veterans the opportunity to visit the national World War II Memorial in Washington. The volunteers of Rocky Mountain Honor Flight did all they could to make this a very special trip for the guests of honor. Active-duty military personnel met the veterans at the airport and helped them with their baggage. Then, people in the airport and on the plane applauded when the presence of World War II veterans was announced. The flight landed at Baltimore and a fire truck shot an arc of water over the plane, there were flag-waving volunteers as the group got off the plane and a brass band greeted them at baggage claim. Englewood resident Sel Hewitt, a radio operator on a B-29 in the Pacific during the war, said the trip was fantastic and was a never-to-be-forgotten experience. “I think every veteran appreciated every minute of that trip,” he said. “Everything was special, the places we visited and the

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

The men were part of a May 2-4 trip to the nation’s capital. contacts we had with people of all ages who were interested in what we had done and what we were doing.” Franktown resident Doug Brown, an Army veteran, agreed. “This trip was pretty unique, as were the greetings and bands and the other special things that were done for our visit,” Brown said. “We were greeted and treated very well. I was in an armored unit that took part in the invasion of Germany. It was very important to me to talk to people who had similar experiences.” Planners kept the veterans busy. Among other activities, they visited the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam and Korean memorials, and watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Ar-

lington National Cemetery. Some activities just happened. For example, the Dothan (Ala.) High School band was at the World War II Memorial during the honor flight visit and they performed a special concert for the veterans. Numerous student groups were at the World War II Memorial, and Chase Burrows, a student at a Sumter, S.C., middle school, spent quite a bit of time talking to the veterans. “This is special to me. My great-grandfather died in World War II, when his plane was shot down. I have read about the war and we studied it in school but talking to these men means a lot more than reading and studying.” He said he talked to Dick Olson about his experience in a submarine, to Dick Frank about his experience as a Marine and Littleton resident Hos Varner about how he joined the Coast Guard and was assigned to crews bringing ships back from the Philippines. “I really thank these men for what they did,” Burrows said. “They are really heroes in my eyes.”

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

Historic Preservation Board seeks members Volunteers designate landmarks, assist county commissioners By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com The Douglas County Historic Preservation Board is seeking three new members who have a passion for history, an interest in archaeology or knowledge of architecture. One of nearly two dozen boards and committees that advises the county commissioners, the historic preservation board is an at-large, all-volunteer, non-statutory board made up of nine members. Primary responsibilities include identifying and designating historical landmarks throughout the county and acting as a referral agency to the county commissioners in regard to development. “There are a lot of hidden gems waiting to be landmarked in the county,” said Judy Hammer, board administrator. “Being on the board gives people a chance to become acquainted with the property owners, and hear some pretty cool stories. There’s a lot of really cool history in Douglas County.” The county has designated 30 historical landmarks to date and has three more identified that are expected to receive des-

Colorado Plus will have an outdoor beer garden and an art gallery upstairs featuring Wheat Ridge artist Terry Womble.

of county commissioners and helping designate historical landmarks, board volunteers are also expected to lead two or three interpretive tours of landmarked properties each year and to help promote the board’s message of preservation through social media. There may also, on occasion, be reports or studies they are asked to review and make comments on, Hammer said. “It is more of a policy-making board than an activity board,” she added. “People who like to participate or volunteer for government can really make a difference by participating in the referral process and landmarking properties.” “Their work is truly a reflection of the desires of the community,” said Douglas County spokeswoman Wendy Holmes, speaking to the high scores that historic preservation has received in recent community surveys. “We are really pleased to see the commitment to history and heritage, especially in a community that is so new and has been one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States for 30 years.” Applications will be accepted for the three vacancies through June 24. For questions, people are asked to contact Hammer at 303-660-7460 or jhammer@douglas. co.us. For more information, visit www. douglas.co.us/historic.

In June, Colorado Plus plans to open a one-barrel nanobrewery and serve their beers at the eatery.

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

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

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

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

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

Eatery shows possibilities of pizza Bonanno brings signature style to the south suburbs By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com It took Ian Scott three months and innumerable pieces of dough to perfect the Bonanno Brothers’ thin-crust pizza toss. “I practiced on a wet dish towel at home,” said Scott, who works at the recently opened pizzeria in The Vistas at Park Meadows. Creating the ideal crust for restaurateur Frank Bonanno’s pizzas is no small feat. “It can go from perfect dough to disaster easily,” said Joey Sabatini, who works with Scott at the Lone Tree eatery. “Pizza is an amazing food. It’s simplistic but versatile.” Bonanno capitalizes on that versatility. “I’d like to think we have some pretty innovative toppings,” he said, “like the combination of flavors on the Lobster Fra Diavolo.” Those include lobster, tomatoes, chiles and ricotta cheese. A sunny-side-up fried egg is the centerpiece of the Carbonara Pancetta pizza,

which service manager Amy Rapisarda described as reminiscent of bacon and eggs. Each pizza is just 12 inches wide and designed not as a full meal, but to encourage sharing and sampling. Many tables start with a plate of house-cured meats and house-made cheeses, Rapisarda said. Ahi tuna, cured salmon, octopus, wines and cocktails on tap and a wood-fired oven imported from Florence, Italy, offer further proof Bonanno’s is anything but a typical pizzeria. Bonanno thinks his singular menu is a good fit for Park Meadows, which aims for a blend of high-quality tenants that are either unique to the south suburbs or the region. “As soon as I saw The Vistas at Park Meadows, I knew it would be a perfect community to open Bonanno Brothers,” he said. “It’s stunning.” The restaurateur already owns nine Denver restaurants, including Mizuna, Luca D’Italia and Osteria Marco, with Lone Tree his first venture south. “This is kind of a little cousin to Osteria Marco,” Rapisarda said. “The idea is to bring quality food to the suburbs. We already have customers in this area. Now they don’t have to make the drive downtown.”

County teams roll through districts Chaparral, Mountain Vista, ThunderRidge among those advancing By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Chaparral, the No. 2 seeded team in the Class 5A state baseball playoffs, combined shutout pitching with explosive offense to win the District 5 championship May 11 at Eaton Field. Riley O’Brien hurled a two-hit, seven-inning shutout in the Wolverines’ 8-0 win over Denver East. Max Kuhns, Chaparral’s starting quarterback during the football season, allowed just two hits in a 10-0 victory over Northglenn in the title game that lasted 4½ innings because of the mercy rule. O’Brien, a senior left-hander who is bound for Bethune-Cookman, struck out 12 batters including seven in a row during one stretch of the game. “I really just stuck to my fastball and slider,” said O’Brien. “They just couldn’t hit it. I really focused during the week on my running and prep work and that’s why I did so well. I was just confident I was going to pitch well.” East starting pitcher David LeamanMiller retired the first six Chaparral batters in order, but Keenan Eaton led off the third with a solo home run to spark a four-run rally. Josh Nicol belted a two-run homer in the fifth to stake O’Brien to an 8-0 lead. “We’ve played some teams that have thrown slower pitchers and that kind of caught us off-guard a little bit,” explained O’Brien. “After those first two innings I was a little nervous, but when Keenan hit that home run, I knew that was all we really needed.” Kuhns, a senior who has signed to play baseball at Santa Clara, induced nine ground ball outs and struck out three batters to defeat Northglenn, which had notched a 6-1 win over Legacy to advance to the district title game. “I thought I pitched pretty well and got my defense involved,” Kuhns said. “I just threw strikes and let them put it in play because we have a great defense and I know they are going to make the plays.”

Chaparral High School’s Keenan Eaton swings for the fences. He hit a solo homer in third inning to spark a four-run outburst in Chaparral’s 8-0 win over East on May 11. Photo by Jim Benton Chaparral, the Continental League cochampions, sent 13 batters to the plate and left the bases loaded in an eight-run second inning. Kuhns had a two-run triple during the big second inning and Brett Wallace delivered a two-run single. Wallace wound up with three runs batted in during the game and Zac Guy collected three of the Wolverines’ 11 hits. “We have a stacked lineup and I feel our whole team is stacked with three- and four-hole hitters,” said Kuhns. “I feel we are blessed and can’t wait for the next round. We have to work hard to keep playing like we’ve been playing and hopefully get some more Ws.” Chaparral (17-4) advances to the double elimination state tournament to be played May 17-18 and May 24-25. Half of the eight teams are from the Continental League, and that doesn’t include co-champion Regis Jesuit, which lost to

Chatfield in the District 2 finals. The Wolverines will play Mountain Vista (13-7) on May 17 in a 12:30 p.m. game at Bishop Machebeuf High School, while last year’s state runners-up Legend (14-7) will open against ThunderRidge (16-5) at 10 a.m. at Machebeuf. During the regular season, Chaparral beat Mountain Vista, 11-3, and Legend edged the Grizzlies, 12-9. The way the bracket unfolds, the four Continental League teams will play against each other in the first two games. “Winning district is a great accomplishment, but this team knows there are bigger things left to do,” said Chaparral coach Tony Perischina. “These kids are unbelievable. They play for each other, they take care of each other, and that’s a huge thing. You can have a team of great players but it they don’t take of each other, then it’s really nothing. When they play with the type of spirit they have now,

it’s awesome.” In other playoff games May 11, Mountain Vista beat Cherokee Trail, 8-4, and edged Dakota Ridge, 8-6, to capture the District 6 title at Dakota Ridge. Dylan Formby cracked three home runs in the Golden Eagles’ two wins, including a gamewinning two-run circuit clout in the victory over Dakota Ridge. Legend traveled to Colorado Springs for the District 5 tournament and the Titans whipped Fairview, 12-0, and allowed only three hits in a 2-0 triumph over Pine Creek. ThunderRidge hosted the District 8 tourney and the Grizzlies beat Fossil Ridge, 6-1, and toppled Grand Junction, 13-3. Andrew Jones and Rowdy Sheets combined to limit Fossil Ridge to three hits while Jake Hand went 3-for-4 to spark the ThunderRidge offense. Josh Brown and Josh Newell each had three hits, Brody Westmoreland drove in three runs and Josh Predolich hit a three-run homer in the win over Grand Junction. Castle View ended its season with an 8-12 record when the Sabercats dropped a 6-3 decision to Cherry Creek in the District 4 tourney. Douglas County (11-9) was eliminated in the District 2 tournament at Regis when the Huskies were shut out 4-0 by Chatfield. In Class 4A, Valor Christian (14-7) traveled to the District 6 tournament in Delta and left with two shutout triumphs. Daniel Butler pitched a three-hit, seven-inning gem as the Eagles whipped Longmont, 9-0. Butler also had a double, a homer and drove in three runs. Matt Fontneau and Nick Merten combined to pitch a five-inning two-hitter in a 15-0 romp over Delta that saw Valor collect 15 hits. Butler went 2-for-2, scored four runs and had four RBIs. Marco Castilla also was credited with four RBIs. Valor will play Montrose (19-2) in a 12:30 p.m. game May 17 at Cherokee Trail High School in the first game of the double-elimination bracket to determine a state champion. Lutheran beat Limon, 6-2, in the Class 2A district semifinals but lost to Denver Christian, 8-2, in the finals. The Lions (147) still advanced to the Region 2 semifinals and will play Peyton (16-5) at 10 a.m. May 18 at Niwot High School.

Valor Christian has high hopes in girls golf Class 4A state tourney set for Broken Tee By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Valor Christian girls golf coach Scotty Hofer hopes his team can take a couple more steps forward during the Class 4A State High School Girls Golf Tournament. The tournament will be played May 2021 at the 5,820-yard, par 72 Broken Tee Golf Club in Englewood, which just happens to be the Eagles’ home course. Valor won the Metro-West regional qualifying tournament May 7 at Fox Hollow with a 234 total. “We won the regional so our whole team qualified,” said Hofer. “I feel we have a very good chance. We just have to perform the way we are capable of and I think we can

win the state championship. “We’ve been coming on the past few years. We placed fourth two years ago and placed third last year. In the past Regis has been a very strong 4A school, but they chose to go 5A this year.” Hofer knows gaining two spots from last year’s finish will not be easy. “There is still good competition that we are expecting from Cheyenne Mountain and Montrose,” he said. “Those are the teams I know about. And I really don’t know about Montrose because they are from the Western Slope and you don’t hear about them.” Tori Glenn and Andrea Ballou paced the Eagles in the regional championship with scores of 77. Sarah Belmear finished with an 80 and Laura Cohan carded an 88. Only the top three scores count in the team standings, as Valor outdistanced Golden by 10 strokes. “We’ll have a team of four this year,” said Hofer. “Two years ago we had three golfers.

Each day just three scores count, but that first day you don’t want to put yourself behind the eight ball. You want to be consistent each day.” Hofer doesn’t feel playing at Broken Tee will be all that much of an advantage for the Eagles. “People might think it is our home course,” he said. “We have all our practices there but we really haven’t really played the course that much. We’ve played a few times, the front nine for sure. With the bad weather we have had, we really haven’t got on the course. We plan to do that.” Valor played in the Cheyenne Mountain Invite May 14 at the Broadmoor, which matches two of the top Class 4A teams in a mini state tourney preview. “We are fortunate the way our schedule worked out,” said Hofer. “We got eight tournaments in where some of the other teams got like four because of the weather. We played down at the Broadmoor and that

was our ninth tournament so that’s pretty good.” Jennifer Kupcho of Jefferson Academy, who was third last season, and fourth-place finisher Taylor Dorans of Broomfield will be among the Class 4A individual favorite players. Glenn tied for ninth in the 2012 state tournament. The Class 5A state tournament will be held May 20-21 at Tiara Rado in Grand Junction. Defending champion Cherry Creek, Arapahoe and Fairview, the schools that finished one-two-three last season, are expected to be among the teams contenting for the team title. Arapahoe’s Hannah Wood and Calli Ringsby of Cherry Creek head a long list of golfers who could win the individual state title, and Creek’s MacKenzie Cohen, who was the surprise 2012 state tournament medalist, can’t be overlooked.

high school sports roundup Griffin sets meet records in pool

Carter Griffin spent a lot of time on the podium at the Heritage High School swimming pool. Carter swims for the Ponderosa co-op team and set two meet records and was on a pair of winning relay teams May 17-18 at the Continental League boys swimming championships. Regis Jesuit won the team title with 668 points, followed by Highlands Ranch with 597 points and Ponderosa with 441. Carter, a senior at Chaparral who is the defending state champion in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events, set a league record of 46.92 in the 100 freestyle to eclipse the previous Continental best of 47.10, set by Luke Wagner of Regis. In the 100-yard backstroke Carter set league record and tied the pool standard of 50.14 in a victorious swim. The old league record of 50.16 was held by Kyle Milberg of Highlands Ranch, and he matched the Heritage pool mark of Regis’ Hennessey Stuart. Carter also swam a leg on Ponderosa’s 200- and 400-yard relay teams. J.P. Beach of Castle View/Douglas County was also a double winner. He captured the 50-yard freestyle with a league record time of 21.55. He broke the old standard of 21.68 set by Heritage’s Joey Hinton. Beach also won the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:55.20.

Turnage, a junior, captured the boys long jump with a leap of 22-9.26 and was first in the triple jump with a 48-8.75 effort. ThunderRidge won both the boys and girls team championship. The Grizzly girls amassed 140 points to finish ahead of second-place Rock Canyon, which finished with 106.2 points. The ThunderRidge boys edged Chaparral for the team title, collecting 95.5 points compared to 95 for the Wolverines. The Colorado state championship meet will be held May 16-18 at Jeffco Stadium.

Mountain Vista, Rock Canyon win

Top-seeded Mountain Vista continued its shutout prowess and Rock Canyon also notched a second round win in the Class 5A state girls soccer playoffs. Gabbie Miranda scored twice and Megan Massey had one goal May 11 in Mountain Vista’s 3-0 victory over Doherty, which pushed the Golden Eagles (16-1) into a May 15 quarterfinal match against Fort Collins. In 17 games this season, Mountain Vista has recorded 15 shutouts. The Golden Eagles have allowed only two goals, one to ThunderRidge in a 4-1 victory and the other to Pine Creek in a 1-0 loss. Rock Canyon (14-1-1) faced Liberty in

the quarterfinals May 15 following the Jaguars’ 3-1 conquest of Boulder May 11. Semifinals games are scheduled for May 18.

Giving depression the boot Ex-Bronco partners with mental health team By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcolorado news.com When former Bronco Bucky Dilts came to the end of a long road of tribulations that included the loss of two family members to suicide, he decided to go public with his story. Questioning his skills as a public speaker, he heeded advice that proved wise. Dilts was the keynote speaker May 10 at the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network benefit luncheon. Before a packed crowd, he stepped up to the lectern to “just tell his story” about his experience with

LAWMAN NAMED COMMUNITY LEADER OF YEAR The Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network named Douglas County Sheriff’s Capt. Attila Denes the community leader of the year for his work as the agency’s Crisis Intervention Team coordinator. The CIT team trains law-enforcement officers to recognize signs of a mental health crisis and to help assess proper response while in the field. Denes implemented the CIT program in the south metro area and eventually helped the program expand statewide. Part of the program’s goal is to eliminate the stigma of mental illness and increase access to treatment through education, advocacy and support. “I am deeply honored and humbled to work with so many dedicated professionals who have dedicated their lives to mental health issues,” Denes said. Denes has been a board member of the Crisis Intervention Teams Association of Colorado since 2007. For more information about the association, visit citac.us.

mental illness. His story held the crowd rapt. Dilts joined the NFL in 1977 as a punter with the Denver Broncos, leaving the league after three years to launch a career in sales. His first brush with depression came in 1984, with the suicide of his 28-year-old sister. Twelve years later, suicide touched his life again

The Power of a

Beautiful Smile

when Dilts and his wife received news that his mother-in-law took her own life. The personal crises continued in 2000, when Dilts lost his wife to divorce after 20 years of marriage. At the time, it was his darkest hour. He isolated himself from friends and family, went through four jobs in six years and began to entertain dark thoughts of his own. “I couldn’t do anything,” Dilts said. “I was just about thinking about suicide. I was almost there.” In 2004, Dilts’s ex-wife was diagnosed with Stage IV cervical cancer. She did not want to tell the couple’s two children, who would not know they were losing their mother until about two months before her 2006 death. In the wake of her death, Dilts threw himself into the task of raising his children, until his world was derailed again. In 2008 Dilts got his own diagnosis — prostate cancer. “It really got to me,” he said. “But it gave me an opportunity to talk about things people don’t want to talk about and it led me to this.” After Dilts successfully

Attila Denes of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office. Photo by Rhonda Moore fought his cancer, he embarked on a speaking career to address the stigma of suicide and the effects of depression. He ran into some resistance among family members who didn’t want him to expose his family’s experience, showcasing the stigma he says ranks among the greatest treatment challenges. “People want to hide it,” he said. “They’re ashamed of it to the point they won’t seek treatment. Others don’t want to talk about it at all. It’s time to shelve stigma. Stigma sucks.” Dilts partnered with the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network to help promote its latest effort for treatment of mental health issues. The network serves residents of Arapahoe and Douglas counties with free and reduced-cost mental health treatment in Littleton, Englewood, Parker and

‘Every 15 minutes someone in the United States dies by suicide. We can and we will end that.’ Joan DiMaria, executive director of the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network Castle Rock. The network launched a Mental Health First Aid course to teach people how to recognize signs of mental illness in hopes of reducing the number of suicides in Colorado. The number of suicides through April in Douglas County was 25, compared with 14 at the same time in 2012, according to the Douglas County Coroner’s Office. “Every 15 minutes some-

one in the United States dies by suicide,” said Joan DiMaria, executive director of the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network. “We can and we will end that.” For more information about the Mental Health First Aid course or to find a treatment center near you, visit admhn.org or call 303730-8858.

REAL ESTATE CAREERS MARKETPLACE SERVICE DIRECTORY

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

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

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

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

Where were you born? I was born in Saginaw, Michigan

onies y How long have you lived in the area? My family and I moved to Colorado from Ft. Myers Florida in June of 2006

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

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

but I get a lot of satisfaction from that.

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

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

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

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