Sheriff shifts his command staff Weaver says rotation has goal of cooperation By Rhonda Moore
rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County Sheriff David Weaver has swapped the command staff among has agency’s departments in a move intended to encourage cooperation in his leadership team. Weaver in early May rotated his command division, changing the leadership in each department of the sheriff’s office. He made the move as his term as sher-
iff begins to sunset, with about 18 months remaining in his eight years as sheriff. “I’ve done this before,” Weaver said. “I want to leave everyone with the experience they need to make them successful. They get Weaver the opportunity to see what the other commanders are dealing with.” The sheriff has rotated his leadership staff among divisions more than once since he became sheriff in 2006. The most recent sweeping change was in August 2010, said
Capt. Darren Weekly. Weekly was among the command staff to receive a new assignment. Formerly the head of professional standards, Weekly now leads the patrol division. “The sheriff likes to make sure command has experience in different areas of the sheriff’s office so we’re well-rounded and have a global view of the sheriff’s office,” Weekly said. “It’s important to understand the issues the other divisions are having.” The practice among law enforcement agencies of rotating command staff has become an industry standard in recent decades as a way to rejuvenate division commanders, said retired Westminster Police
Chief Dan Montgomery, owner and chief executive officer of Professional Police Consulting LLC in Westminster. “You get a different perspective brought into the different divisions. If you do it every three to five years, that’s a good amount of time for a command officer to get settled, learn the ropes and do their job effectively,” Montgomery said. “The rotation just gives the command staff the opportunity to rejuvenate themselves, get into a new assignment and look at these new assignments with a fresh set of eyes. Ultimately you want to improve the organization and that, to Sheriff continues on Page 8

Highlands Ranch resident Rick Burtt, a lieutenant colonel in the Colorado Army National Guard, is preparing to hike the 486-mile Colorado Trail to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project. Burtt served in the Army on active duty from 1996-2000 and in the Army Reserve from 2000-2008. He was deployed to Iraq in 2003 as a company commander.

Soldier set to hike for good cause Highlands Ranch man raising money, awareness By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com When Lt. Col Rick Burtt takes his first steps onto the Colorado Trail July 5 it will be the beginning of a 24-day, 486-mile journey in which every step will help to raise money and awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project. Burtt, a 40-year-old with many years of service in the Army and Colorado Army National Guard, had long desired to do something big, and he couldn’t think of a better foundation to tip his hat to in the process. As a company commander in Iraq in 2003, Burtt watched firsthand as soldiers in his company sustained everything from minor injuries to lost limbs, and even death. For those who did return home, many have suffered since with post-traumatic stress disorder, including, to an extent, Burtt. “I had some weird dreams, social anxiety for a little bit when I first got home,” he
said. “There were a lot of guys who had a real hard time adjusting to life, that were really impacted by PTSD. It always stays in the back of your mind.” And while issues with PTSD have surfaced more in recent years, Burtt points out that what today’s warriors face is no different from what veterans of past wars endured. “I think we are just more attuned to those issues today,” he said. “If anything, I’m grateful that all the focus now on the mental health and occupational health of today’s soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines has shined a little bit of light on previous generations of veterans and the struggles that they have gone through.” The Wounded Warrior Project works to help wounded service members of all wars acclimate in modern society, provides aid and assistance, and offers a variety of unique programs and services. “It’s important that people remember after all the homecomings and the parades and the fanfare is done, we have a lot of (service members) who are struggling in a lot of ways that most people don’t under-
stand,” Burtt said. “Where there isn’t a governmental program in place, the good folks at the Wounded Warriors Project take these guys to the finish line in getting their life back in order.” Burtt, who has been training for his hike primarily at Jefferson County Open Space sites and Castlewood Canyon State Park, plans to hike an average of 20.25 miles a day. He will spend much of his journey alone, but will be joined by his neighbor, Air Force Maj. Robert Carreon, as well as a couple other friends at different spots along the way. He will also have a sevenperson resupply team that will meet him at trailheads and road crossings to bring him clean clothes, cooking fuel and food. Burtt’s only luxurious stops include a night at Mount Princeton Hot Springs and a night at a friend’s condo in Frisco, likely the only time he will have a bed to sleep on.

As Colorado braces for what — despite the recent moisture — experts are still predicting to be a severe fire season, officials are asking people to take caution. “Without trying to be too dramatic, we want the point to be hard-hitting,” said Tim Johnson, Douglas County Director of Emergency Management. “We want to be in people’s faces a little bit and say: `Look, this is real, people can die, so pay attention. Take notice of what is going on around you.’” In a concerted effort to do just that, the county is preparing to launch a series of public service commercials with footage of a family driving out of last year’s Lower North Fork Fire as well as homes burning during the Waldo Canyon Fire. The message of the videos, which can be viewed at www.ourcoloradonews.com, is not just to show how real and scary wildfire can be, said Douglas County spokeswoman Wendy Holmes, but to prepare residents for disaster by getting them to sign up for Code Red, the county’s emergency notification system. In the spot that features a young family driving out of the flames and smoke of the Lower North Fork Fire, the viewer hears the voiceover say: “You may think this is the one call you never want to get, ‘Your area is being evacuated due to wildfire, leave immediately’; actually, it’s the one call you do want to get.” In another commercial, the viewer catches a glimpse of homes burning during the Waldo Canyon Fire in Colorado Springs, while statistics appear on the screen demonstrating the number of homes lost in each of the state’s big four fires of 2012. “Last year’s wildfires were the most destructive Colorado has ever seen,” the voiceover says, “and not one of these homeowners thought it could happen to them.” “When you live by a forest you understand the potential for a fire,” Johnson said. “Yet there is a sense of safety when you live in an urban neighborhood, but a quartermile away you have open space. Now that we’ve had Waldo Canyon, it’s time for people to be a little more aware of the potential Disaster continues on Page 8

Student overwhelmed by scholarship win ThunderRidge senior chosen for award from Daniels Fund
state area. Emily, who volunteers in Littleton Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit, plans to attend Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu to study nursing. “I want to be a baby nurse,” she said. “I always knew that’s what I wanted to do because that’s what I was.” Weighing less than three pounds at birth, Emily spent her first moments in an NICU. She and her twin sister, Katie, were raised with a strong work ethic. “I learned early on that to be successful, you have to work hard,” she said. In addition to her hospital volunteerism, Emily is president of the National Honor Society, plays three sports and is a violinist in the school orchestra. “I’m not good at relaxing,” Emily said. “Time management was a big thing I learned early on.” Knowing she would have to finance the bulk of her college education, she secured scholarships to cover about one-third of her tuition, planning to work and take

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com As the only Douglas County student to win a 2013 Daniels Fund scholarship, Emily Thermos stood alone at the state Capitol on April 22. When the winners’ names were announced, she burst into tears. A photograph of that moment wound up on “The Tonight Show,” with host Jay Leno quipping it appeared the lone crying girl hadn’t won the scholarship. Emily remembers the moment as overwhelming. “I’ve saved money baby-sitting and was going to take out loans,” the ThunderRidge High School senior said. “It was such a relief to know I’m going to be able to enjoy college without having to worry so much.” Emily’s dad David, who went with Emily to the Capitol, had a

The four-year Daniels Fund scholarship is based on academic achievement, financial need and character, and is awarded to about 250 students annually in a four-
out loans to cover the rest. That plan now has changed. David and Mara Thermos credit Emily for seeking out the Daniels Fund scholarship. With both girls headed to college in the fall, the family’s need was significant. “I wish we weren’t in the position where we were needing that to happen, but we did,” David Thermos said. “This provided an opportunity for us to help her sister out more. (Without the scholarship), it was going to be very difficult for them both to get through.” The Thermos twins are close but not alike. Emily is introverted and scientific, and Katie — who will attend CU-Boulder — flamboyant and artistic. “They shared the same womb and they shared the same bedroom for 18 years,” he said. “Now they’re going to be 3,000 miles apart.” Emily already anticipates homesickness. “I’m going all by myself,” she said. “It’s bittersweet. I have so much ahead of me, but it’s hard to leave.”

On an evening that saw more closethan 40 officers recognized and 20 ertedarea high school students awardwhoed scholarships, there were stories flam-filled with sacrifice and service from beginning to end. omb Whether it was CRPD Officer bed-Ben Leach, who saved two lives Nowover the course of the year, or milesSheriff’s Deputy Carlos Aguilar who, while off-duty, heard the patescries for help from a man who had been lying on the floor of his ” sheapartment for three days, and got e sohim the necessary help, the overrd toriding theme was filled with dedication. “Every day, what you say, what you do has the ability to leave an impact on someone’s life forever,” said Douglas County Sheriff David A. Weaver.

Since 1869, 280 Colorado law enforcement officers have died while performing their duties, he said. “We are here tonight to honor those who came before us and gave the ultimate sacrifice as they
protect us,” Cauley said. “We are also recognizing officers who are risking their lives day in and day out, those that are going into danger, while others are running out.” No incident garnered more attention at the May 15 ceremony than a late-night shooting incident on July 4, 2012, in Castle Rock, and both departments recognized numerous officers who arrived on scene in search of an armed suspect who fired at members from the Douglas County Regional SWAT team as well as Castle Rock police officers. In what was described by Castle Rock Police Cmdr. John Anderson as a “very complex, multijurisdictional incident,” and by Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock as “an example of bravery at its highest,” 32 officers were honored for their part in the evening, including 13 who received the notable Medal of Valor from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and five, the Medal of Valor from the CRPD. Other notable awards that were bestowed included the Deputy Ron King Memorial Law Enforcement Award that went to Douglas County Sheriff’s Detective Shawn Cronce, for her work in investigating Internet crimes against

New districts proposed for commissioners Douglas County proposal would eliminate split precincts By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com In an effort to ensure no precincts in Douglas County are split between two commissioner districts, Clerk and Recorder Jack Arrowsmith has proposed minor changes to the board of county commissioners that would re-establish district lines prior to the 2014 election. The commissioner districts were last redrawn in 2011 as a result of the 2010 census, but following the state and federal redistricting that was done, six Douglas County precincts wound up split between Jack Hilbert’s District 1 to the north and Roger Partidge’s District 2 to the south.
“A precinct has to be entirely within a single U.S. Congressional district, a single U.S. Senate district and entirely in a state House and state Senate district,” Arrowsmith said. “You can’t split within two of any of those districts. … So we had to go back and redraw our precincts again inside of the lines of state and U.S. House and Senate districts, and once we redesigned our precincts we discovered that our original districts had certain precincts that sat in more than one commissioner district.” And while it is legal to split a precinct between two commissioners, Arrowsmith said it makes administration easier to have each precinct in one commissioner district, and that his proposal is basically a clean-up effort that has taken into account population as well as the tidying up of some of the district boundaries that spanned commu-

nities. In addition to ensuring that there would be just one commissioner per precinct, the proposed change would also place the Highlands Ranch Open Space Conservation Area on the southwest side of Highlands Ranch, currently in District 2, into Jill Repella’s District 3, where the rest of Highlands Ranch is. The Rueter-Hess Reservoir, which was recently annexed into Parker, would also move out of District 2 and into District 1, where the remainder of all Parker addresses would be with the proposed changes. Because of the change involving the OSCA space, there would be one new precinct created, bringing the total number of precincts in the county up to 145. Additionally, the number of households would remain close to even with 36,967 in District 1, 36,877 in District 2 and 36,029 in District 3. “I think we are right on target here,” said
Hilbert. “The entire town of Parker is in one specific district and we get the OSCA open space of Highlands Ranch into the district that oversees Highlands Ranch. That’s good.” Partridge also supported the changes, saying that the clerk and recorder’s office made a complicated process look easy and that he could only imagine how good they all are at jigsaw puzzles. Repella was not present when the clerk and recorder’s office presented the proposed changes at the May 14 commissioners’ meeting. To see a map of the proposed changes, please visit www.douglas.co.us/elections. Public comment on the proposed districts is open until June 13.

Students cross graduation bridge Developmentally disabled grads move forward

By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Julie Wilson’s mind traveled back over the course of her daughter Amanda’s life as she watched the young woman graduate May 13. But her memories were different from those of most mothers. The memories started with the moment she learned her 3-day-old baby had both Down syndrome and a heart defect a doctor said likely would kill her, and continued to include the now 21-year-old Amanda accepting a certificate of graduation from the Douglas County School District’s Bridge program. “I was back here crying,” said Julie Wilson, of Parker. “Twentyone years just flashed through my mind all at once.” Amanda, meanwhile, was near tears for a very different reason. “It feels exciting,” she said. “I just don’t want to leave because I’ll miss my friends and my boyfriend.” Amanda was among 20 developmentally disabled adults who graduated during the ceremony at Rocky Heights Middle School. The evening marked the end of a three-year program aimed at transitioning them from high school to adult life. The federally mandated program is designed for students who have graduated from high school, but require additional support to transition to adulthood. DCSD’s Bridge program in-

cludes three sites in Parker, Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock, but most of the training takes place outside those locations. Students go into their communities to learn life and work skills, including laundry, cooking and budgeting, and work a volunteer job. Some of the students, like Amanda, may live independently someday; others will not.
“Our goal is whether they’re living independently or not, that they’re having a very, very full life,” said teacher Andee Ahrens. The program has helped Sarah Yourtz do just that, said parents Kay and Michael Yourtz of Highlands Ranch. “It moves kids along and keeps them focused on learning a skill and other just wonderful things,”
Kay Yourtz said. “The social aspect of the program is great.” Sarah Yourtz has worked at the Littleton Goodwill Industries for two years. Though she likely never will live alone, Michael Yourtz said the Bridge program has made a remarkable difference in the quality of her life. “Her growth has been unbelievable,” he said.
Sad as she is to leave the Bridge program, Amanda is looking forward to the next phase of her life. “I like my future a lot,” she said. “I wish to get married with my boyfriend. Maybe he’ll become my husband.” As she ponders her daughter’s future, Julie Wilson feels a mix of emotions. “She’s going to leave that bubble (of the program),” she said. “She would love to get married. She knows she can’t have children but she wants what everybody else wants. How do you allow that and not allow someone to take advantage of her? “I want her to succeed in everything, but I can’t guarantee that. My hope and goal for Amanda is to provide her the support she will need to accomplish everything she can to the best of her ability.”

Teachers have mixed feelings on evaluations Impressions range from arbitrary to instructive By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcolorado news.com As Douglas County teachers learn their ratings under the district’s new evaluation system, many are crying foul. Even some who received the top “highly effective” rank say they found the evaluations confusing, time-consuming and poorly explained. It’s consistent, many say, with other changes the district has made in its effort at education reform. “The board of education was talking about making teachers accountable,” said seven-year Castle View High School teacher Thor Kjeseth. “I don’t think any of us object to that. But we need them to have some sort of
accountability for this absolutely failed evaluation process, which has caused great problems with morale and driven a stake between administrators and teachers.” Kjeseth said he’s enjoyed repeated high performance reviews — until this year. “I’ve asked for evidence — if my drop is due to data, test scores, parent complaints,” he said. “There’s no data that supports this drop.” While not everyone shares Kjeseth’s feelings, many do. Teacher after teacher said they’ve felt concerned and overwhelmed by a series of recent district-level changes, with the evaluations a tipping point. “The instrument for evaluating was given to us without any guidelines and without specific criteria of what we were going to be evaluated on,” said Arrowwood Elementary teacher Tara Holst. “In the 20 years I’ve been
teaching, this is the first year it’s been hard for me to come to work. It’s been a very frustrating year with everything that’s been piled on us.” John Kissingford, a chairman of Chaparral High School’s English department, said the evaluations have “created an inordinate amount of tension and anxiety. As a department chair, I’ve been trying to calm those tensions and focus (teachers) on what’s important. It’s really taken away from people’s ability to focus on kids.” The evaluations are part of the Douglas County School District’s pay-forperformance program. Based on self-evaluations, meeting with principals and other factors, each teacher was assigned a rating ranging from “highly effective” to “ineffective.” Pay increases are tied to that rating, and also to a new market-based pay scale. The Douglas County
School District developed its own evaluation system, which it says is significantly less cumbersome than the state model. Under Senate Bill 191, all districts are required to adopt either the state’s new teacher evaluation program, or create their own by 2013-14. Other teachers came away with a different take on the evaluations. At Legend High School, teacher Tina Stroman said administrators talked to staff about the evaluations repeatedly throughout the school year. “For me, that was really, really helpful,” she said. “I felt it was a constant conversation and constant work-in-progress. We were probably at an advantage that way.” Stroman felt her evaluation was fair, giving her a clear understanding of areas in which she should focus further. But she hopes it is not a static process. “I don’t think anything is in its perfect form anytime it comes out,” she said. “In time, with good feedback from everybody, I think it can only get better.” Rock Canyon High School teacher Kristi Piccone said the process sharpened her focus. “I definitely like that there are a lot of criteria because that gives me a lot of places for improvement,” she said. “I have a very open mind when it comes to improvement because I love making things awesome for my students. I love reflection, and I spent a lot of time with it. “That tool just became something that my evaluators could use to help me improve. I think that’s the
District says evaluation process not set in stone By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcolorado news.com A Douglas County School District administrator said he’s disappointed to learn some teachers are confused by the new teacher evaluation system, which he said was created with ample teacher input and careful consideration. “That saddens me to a certain aspect,” said Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education Christian Cutter, who oversaw the program’s development. “We worked so diligently this year with our principals and evaluators. We are adamant in maintaining an attention to the clarity of this document.” It also surprises Cutter, who said he’s heard largely positive comments. “I would say that the feedback we’ve gotten so far has not led us to believe any large-scale changes would be made,” he said. “I’ve heard from principals it’s some of the best conversations they’ve had (with teachers).” Still, Cutter said the program is not cast in concrete. “We will look at areas that weren’t articulated
best thing I can do.” But Clear Sky Elementary teacher Pam Pitman said she felt the time required to complete the evaluation was excessive. “I can spend all this time
in the hopes of addressing that element clearly, and we will refine it,” Cutter said. “It’s never going to be a permanent document.” The evaluations are designed to motivate teachers to improve instructional techniques and, consequently, student performance, according to the district. It’s also intended to be a two-way process, with teachers working with evaluators to create an accurate reflection of their performance. “It’s the teacher’s responsibility as well as the principal’s to be a collaborative member of the discussion around the evaluation,” said Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education Dan McMinimee. “There are so many other opportunities now for a teacher to bring information to the evaluator to share with them how they meet those marks.” Dozens of teachers, who were paid for the additional time, helped create aspects of the program. “Over the past year, we have probably had hundreds of opportunities for teachers to be involved in various things that are going on,” Cutter said.
uploading lessons plans to prove I’m highly effective, or I can actually be highly effective and meet the needs of my kids,” she said. “I decided my valuable time was going to go to my kids.”
Most teachers rated ‘effective’ School leaders say evaluations changing performance definitions By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The vast majority of Douglas County School District teachers were rated “effective” under the district’s new teacher evaluation system. More than 71 percent fell into the “effective” category, the second of four possible ratings. Just shy of 15 percent reached the top level and garnered a “highly effective” rating. About 14 percent were rated “partially effective,” and only 0.22 percent “ineffective.” Those rankings help determine how much — or whether — a teacher’s pay will increase for the 2013-14 academic year. Another determiner is where a teacher’s current salary falls on DCSD’s new marketbased pay scale, which established salary ranges based on subject matter. The board of education approved its compensation package for the coming year May 14. Pay increases will range from 0 to 8 percent, with the average at 4 percent. About 35 percent of the district’s teachers now are paid above market rate, according to DCSD-provided statistics; about 28 percent are paid at market rate; and about 37 percent are paid below market rate. The news that just 15 percent of its teacher qualified as “highly effective” may seem at odds in a school district long-known for high-quality education. But Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education Dan McMinimee said teacher quality hasn’t diminished. “I think we’re transitioning the way we define highly effective,” he said. “There
continue to be a lot of great teachers in this district, but the definition has changed.” Rankings were left to the discretion of school principals, with no cap on those rated “highly effective.” “Never did I feel I was held to a quota,” said Douglas County High School Principal Tony Kappas. “Everything I always felt and heard was ‘be accurate, be honest.’” Ten percent of his teachers were ranked “highly effective,” which Kappas attributes in part to the system’s newness. “In my heart, I’m sure we have a higher percentage” of highly effective, he said. “But there are higher expectations with the new tool. I think with higher expectations, we’re going to have higher quality (but) we’re being asked to look at a lot more data. “I look at a couple teachers in our building and I have no doubt a year from now they’ll be ‘highly effective’ because they know where the bar has been set, what to reach for.” District staff will work with the small percentage of teachers rated “ineffective,” McMinimee said. “The intent of the (evaluation) tool is to work with people around how can you get better,” he said. “Anywhere a person falls on the evaluation, our principals are going to be working on that with them.” Kappas believes the evaluations will work well as both teachers and administrators become familiar with them. “If we could spin time backward, I wish we would have had more time to fully grasp this tool,” he said. “My dad used to say it’s like drinking water from a fire hydrant. There’s been a lot of change. I could not be more proud of our faculty for how they’ve embraced the change.” The changes aren’t yet over. In 2013-14, teacher evaluations will shift again when state law requires the criteria to expand to include student achievement.

Fate of measure will be in hands of voters By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Colorado public schools are a step closer to a major funding overhaul after Gov. John Hickenlooper on May 21 signed a new school finance act that proponents say would provide a long-overdue modernization of an antiquated school funding formula for classrooms across the state. But the governor’s signature doesn’t make the reform measure a done deal. Voters must give the go-ahead to the legislation’s price tag of about $1 billion in new taxes, something that Republican lawmakers are sure to rally against in the fall. If a vote falls short this November, the proposal could come back for funding votes through 2017. Hickenlooper, who was flanked at the Capitol bill-signing by legislative co-sponsors of Senate Bill 213, dubbed the “Future School Finance Act,” hailed the legislation as a way to “allow Colorado to vault to the top of every state” when it comes to school financing and transparency. “This bill really positions Colorado to be the national leader in terms of school
Gov. John Hickenlooper signed a school-finance bill May 21 that could spur immense changes. File photo reform, in terms of school effectiveness,” Hickenlooper said. The legislation would mark the most sweeping change to the state’s school finance formula that’s been seen in decades.
The act would fund full-day kindergarten, provide preschool for at-risk children and would increase needs-based programs for special education students and children who are learning English. The legislation also would provide more funding for students who are involved in gifted and talented school programs. The bill would give school districts greater flexibility in being allowed the opportunity to have longer school years and school days, if they choose to do so. The bill also is expected to increase per-pupil funding for most school districts across the state by way of a funding system that supporters say is a more equitable way of divvying up money. Under the new formula, the state would determine how much revenue individual school districts are able to raise, with the state backfilling the difference. The state also would provide more support for local mill levy-matching. And, the bill would create a new teacher evaluation formula that supporters say is badly needed. Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, was the main driver behind the legislative effort. The former Thornton High School principal said the bill marks a “tremendous step forward” in making Colorado a school reform model for the nation. “Instead of forcing (students and teach-

Free Document-Shredding Event June 1st in Highlands Ranch By Jerry Brown, JerryBrownPR Do you have a big stack of personal or business documents that need to be shredded but don’t want to spend hours doing it yourself? You can bring up to two full file boxes of them to a free community shredding event between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 1, 2013, in the parking lot of 1745 Shea Center Drive, at the corner of Lucent Blvd. and Plaza Drive in Highlands Ranch. The event is being sponsored by 21 companies who are all members of the South Metro Denver Chamber’s LEADapalooza leads group and will benefit Boy Scout Troop 628. “We’ve done these in the past and they’ve been very popular,” said Cheryl Braunschweiger, mortgage professional with ALMC Mortgage and one of the event’s organizers. “It’s a safe, hassle-free, environmentally friendly way to get rid of those confidential personal and business documents that have been taking up space in your home or office. People love it.” Shred-It, a company that special-

ers) to work in a system that was created before the Internet, email and cell phones ... they instead will work in a system that is built for the 21st century,” Johnston said. But Johnston’s efforts could be all for naught if voters do not approve funding, which would come in the form of some sort of tax increase. Rep. Millie Hamner, D-Dillon, a bill sponsor, acknowledged that “the biggest challenge” will be in convincing voters to provide funding for the measure. Backers of the act don’t yet know what the tax measure will look like on the fall ballot. Hickenlooper would not say which tax measure he preferred, but did say that he “certainly” will campaign for the effort. The governor shouldn’t expect many Republican lawmakers to join him on the campaign trail. Republicans during the legislative session denounced the reform measure as a bloated effort that would lead to greater bureaucracy and doesn’t do enough to put in place necessary school reform measures. They also say the bill is nothing more than a $1 billion tax increase on the people of Colorado. The new school finance model would not take effect until the 2015-2016 school year. The 2013-2014 school funding model came in a separate piece of legislation.

that is there. People need to be prepared.” People can sign up for the free service at www.DouglasCountyCodeRed.com. As the service was launched last fall, Johnson said it is also important for subscribers to go back in and verify they are signed up if they signed up for one of the county’s old emergency management notification systems such as Everbridge. According to Holmes, only about 50 percent of county residents are currently signed up for the service. Also of importance, Johnson said, is that if a notification does go out, people need to fight the urge to call dispatch for verification of an ongoing incident. Doing so, he said, will impair those on the emergency management team from working on the situation at hand and getting new updates out in a timely manner.

Word is, be cautious when you’re camping Never leave fire unattended, officials say By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com As Memorial Day weekend kicks off another season of camping, and Colorado stares down another potentially bad fire season, the word in the woods is to be careful. “There have already been 10 to 12 small wildland fires reported in Douglas County since January,” said Douglas County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Hanavan. “We were very fortunate that we had so much moisture in April and May. It helped reduce the immediate risk, but we have the summer heat coming right around the corner.” And while no fire restrictions are currently in place, both Hanavan and Douglas County Director of Emergency Management Tim

me, is the best way to improve the organization.” Part of Weaver’s goal in adopting rotations is to ensure all commanders are working together toward a common goal, Weaver said. A working knowledge of the responsibilities and demands in each division gives commanders a common ground, he said. “I like to have a well-rounded workforce,” Weaver said. “Any captain can take a division and apply their leadership to it. But do they have the ability to learn and command other divisions too? This makes well-rounded individuals.” The changes among the sheriff’s office captains include Attila Denes, formerly head of support services, now in charge of detentions; Jason Kennedy, formerly detentions commander, now oversees investigations; Brad Heyden, formerly in charge of investigations, now in charge of professional standards; Robert McMahan, formerly patrol, now support services; and Weekly, formerly professional standards, now patrol. Detentions includes oversight of the jail; professional standards includes internal affairs; and support services includes technology and records. “Every captain brings new and different ideas to each division,” Weekly said. “Essentially it’s a different take on the position as well as an opportunity to gain an understanding of the other divisions.” Additional changes in the command staff placed Lts. Ron Harvey and Adam Cataffo in the detentions and patrol divisions, respectively; Sgts. Eric Johnson and Gary Romberger in detentions; Sgt. Jenny McMillian in investigations, including cold cases; Sgts. Michael Choi, Jeff Engel and Les Steveson in patrol; and Sgt. Chris O’Neal in professional standards. “The change makes a better officer and it makes a better commander,” Weaver said. “I like to develop people and their talent. I don’t want anyone getting stagnant in their position. This gives each of them a new challenge and a new opportunity.”
Johnson urge caution when lighting a fire in the woods. “Any time you are dealing with fire in the forest, you should take precautions,” Johnson said. “We know the potential is there for a bad fire season and we want people to start thinking about it now
even though the fire danger might not be critical right now. “We need people to be in the mindset of, `Hey, anytime I’m going to build a campfire, I need to be cautious and I need to make sure it’s out before I leave.’” Hanavan seconded Johnson’s
Firefighters ‘pained’ by chief’s leadership No-confidence vote delivered to Littleton city manager By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Tensions in Littleton Fire Rescue have come to a head, with the Littleton Firefighters Association passing a vote of no confidence in Chief John Mullin. “Once a proud and well-regarded emergency services provider, we have watched with dismay and disappointment as Littleton has been passed up by other metro fire departments,” they write in an April 16 letter to City Manager Michael Penny. “It pains us to see how far we have fallen under the leadership of John Mullin.” In particular, the association wants a strategic plan for the department. “When asked over the years to articulate a strategic plan, we have always been met with silence, puzzled looks or at best a response of ‘status quo,’” they write. Penny says Mullin has developed an action plan to immediately improve communications with his employees regarding concerns and decision-making. “Littleton Fire Rescue is a proud and well-regarded fire service agency with dedicated and talented employees,” said Penny. “I appreciate our association members sharing their concerns with me regarding communication and strategic planning.” The department has had its share of controversy in recent years.

comment about properly extinguishing a campfire, stating that you never know how bad a fire might burn, especially if left unattended. The U.S. Forest Service offers the following guidelines on its website about how to properly extinguish a campfire: • Allow the wood to burn completely to ash, if possible. • Pour lots of water on the fire and drown all embers, not just the red ones. • Pour until hissing sound stops. • Stir the campfire ashes and embers with a shovel. • Scrape the sticks and logs to remove any embers. • Stir and make sure everything is wet and cold to the touch. • If you do not have water, use dirt and mix the dirt (or sand) with the embers. • Do not bury the fire, as the fire will continue to smolder and could catch roots on fire that will eventually get to the surface and could start a wildfire.
Trailmark, though an intergovernmental agreement was recently reached with West Metro Fire for coverage there. There’s also been conflict between LFR and its partners — Highlands Mullin Ranch Metro Districts and Littleton Fire Protection District — that led some to wonder if the partnership would be renewed in 2012. A recent study recommends an eventual merger with Englewood’s department, but no real steps have been taken toward that end. That was the third independent study conducted on LFR since 2008, when the city partnered with LFPD and HRMD to hire Organizational Effectiveness Consulting. That first study contained 108 recommendations, very few of which were ever implemented due to budget constraints. In 2011, the two partners paid for their own study but have refused to release it, saying it was never completed. “Administrations across the state have endured difficult political and economic environments over the past several years, but they have been thoughtful and strategic in their response and managed to maintain in spite of difficult circumstances,” write the association members. “We continue to fall further and further behind, as ESCI’s (Emergency Services Consulting International) recent study points out and previous studies have demonstrated.” In a statement, Mullin said he’ll present a budget request to develop a strate-
gic plan in 2014, as well as a “Standard of Coverage Plan” needed to move toward accreditation. “I am looking forward to addressing the points expressed by members of the association,” he said. “I am confident that, with the command staff, we will be able to create and implement a plan that resolves these issues and continues to build upon the outstanding reputation of Littleton Fire Rescue.” But the association’s membership isn’t so sure. “The fact that he has failed to deliver a strategic plan might be palatable if he were competent at orchestrating his routine responsibilities and the predictable minutia that is part and parcel to running a modern fire department,” they write. “Unfortunately, we can’t even rely on this.” They say policy is implemented and withdrawn with little or no thought behind it, training is lacking and disorganized and capital resource management is dismal. “Our emergency operations have become disjointed, dysfunctional, and even unsafe at times,” they write. “In short our customers deserve better and so do we. None of the issues mentioned in the previous paragraph are dependent upon increased funding of our fire department, an important topic for another day. The issues of which we write are budget neutral and can be dealt with immediately. We wish to be clear. We have no confidence that this administration possesses either the skill set or ability to meet LFR’s immediate or long-term challenges.”

Tragedies like those at Columbine and Aurora drive the public debate about guns, but the truth in Colorado is that the state experienced an unremitting loss of life involving firearms — 6,258 deaths — over the 12 calendar years that fell between those mass shootings. That’s 10 gun deaths a week — every week — during that span. And the area that experienced the most gun deaths from 2000 through 2011 was not a gang-weary section of Denver or Aurora but a southeast Colorado Springs neighborhood of 1960s tract homes, apartments and schools where postcard-perfect views of Pikes Peak frame the skyline, an INews analysis of health and census data found. The area is designated by the federal government as Census Tract 54.00, one of 1,249 geographically distinct districts in the state. And from 2000 through 2011, 24 of its residents died of gunshot wounds. The next deadliest census tract, with 20 deaths, was located in Grand Junction, and another in Denver had 19, I-News found. Five of the top six neighborhoods for gun homicides were in the Denver or Aurora, while the top four neighborhoods for gun suicides were in Grand Junction, Montrose or Mesa County. Over that span, 76 percent of the state’s gun deaths were suicides, 20 percent homicides. “It is a public health issue,” said state Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, the mother of a son murdered by gunfire. “We pay for it in the end. Society — we pay for the medical treatment, the loss of productivity. It’s a ripple effect. When someone gets murdered or harmed by gun violence, it affects the family, it affects the community — not just that one person.” The death toll for residents of Census Tract 54.00, part of the Colorado Springs neighborhood known as Pikes Peak Park, included 12 homicides and 12 suicides. That made it an anomaly among the deadliest neighborhoods in that it had as many homicides as suicides. The second deadliest tract, in Grand Junction, had 17 suicides and three homicides. The tract in Denver’s Platte Park area that experienced 19 deaths had 10 suicides, eight homicides and one classified as “other” — a police shooting, accident or undetermined fatality. Four other tracts had 17 gun deaths during the 12-

Totals include deaths by suicide, homicide, accidents and legal shootings by law enforcement officers, plus unexplained shootings.
A graffiti-ridden Neighborhood Watch sign stands at the edge of Census Tract 54:00 in Colorado Springs. This section of southeast Colorado Spring was Colorado’s deadliest neighborhood during the 12 years between the mass shooting tragedies at Columbine and Aurora. The neighborhood’s 24 gun deaths were more than any other census tract in Colorado during the period. Photo by Joe Mahoney/I-News Network at Rocky Mountain PBS year span — three in Grand Junction, Montrose and Teller County driven by suicides and one in Denver’s Montbello neighborhood driven by homicides. The I-News investigation of Colorado’s shooting deaths found a strong relationship between poverty and firearms homicides — and no discernible link between being poor and gun suicides. For example, the average poverty rate in 656 census tracts with no gun homicides was 10 percent. It jumped to 16 percent in neighborhoods with at least one gun homicide, to 22 percent in tracts with at least three, and to 24 percent in areas with at least four. It was vastly different with suicides: The average poverty rate fluctuated around 12.7 percent in neighborhoods with no gun suicides and up to and including those with four or more. In that way, Census Tract 54.00 fell in line with homicide statistics and bucked suicide statistics. The area, developed in the 1960s, includes ranch and multi-level suburban homes, apartment complexes, a commercial district, and four schools. And its 5,615 residents face serious socio-economic challenges. The median family income was $29,313 in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau — down significantly from 1980, when median family income was the equivalent of $40,010 in today’s dollars. More than 20 percent of families — and nearly 44 percent of children — live in poverty. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment data included the census tract where each victim lived but, because death certificates are not public, not the identities of those who died. I-News was able to identify many using police, court and coroner’s records and other public documents.
The loss of life in Census Tract 54.00 was a mosaic: A father who shot his teenage son while trying to teach him gun safety. A gangland slaying. Solitary suicides. A jealous former boyfriend who fired blindly through a door. Four domestic violence murder-suicides. And an utterly random shooting carried out by a Fort Carsonbased U.S. Army soldier. “Some of them, they are domestic-related and they are very personal, to the very random or motivated through drugs or through property crimes or through any number of things,” said Colorado Springs Police Cmdr. Kirk Wilson, whose division includes Census Tract 54.00. “There is no pattern, if you will, for why some of these homicides take place.” Joy Kelly-Blackwell, whose sister, Leslie Brown, was murdered in 2004 by a former boyfriend, grew up in south Colorado Springs and has a sober view of life there. “Where there’s poverty, there’s drugs — drugs and alcohol,” she said. “Where there’s drugs and alcohol, there will be guns. Therefore there will be crime.” Poverty and guns are definitely a part of life in Pikes Peak Park — and it is nothing new. “These children were at war,” said Rich Caruth, who managed an apartment complex in the neighborhood for years and initiated an anti-gang program. “When they’d go outside their house, they had to worry about a drive-by shooting. They had to worry about being robbed and losing their tennis shoes.” But the neighborhood’s problems aren’t only economic. Transience is a way of life — an I-News examination of property records found that nearly 30 percent of the 1,181 single-family homes are rentals, and the neighborhood includes 772 apartment units and 131 townhome and condomin-
ium units. People come and go often, tearing at the sense of “community” — the perception of belonging to a place and caring about it. Katherine Giuffre, chair of the sociology department at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, knows transience — she lives next to a rental home, where tenants have come and gone every three months or four months for 17 years. “I don’t even bother to know who they are because they’ll be out soon,” Giuffre said. “I’m not baking a banana bread and going over there.” Poverty, transience, and neighborhood violence confront the teachers and administrators at the four public schools in the tract — Centennial, Monterey and Pikes Peak elementary schools and Carmel Middle. There, the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch is high — 81.5 at Carmel, 87.1 at Monterey, 90.5 at Centennial, 90.6 at Pikes Peak. The vast majority qualify for free lunches, meaning family income in the
2011-12 school year totaled $29,055 or less for a family of four. Wendy Birhanzel, Centennial’s principal, and other educators in the area’s schools have a simple goal: Remove the obstacles between students and success. That means making sure they have backpacks and jackets, or even taking up a collection to help a family pay its utility bill. It also means monthly events — like “Science Night” or “Movie Night” — aimed at building relationship with families. And while data shows that the schools are safe places, they can’t escape the neighborhood around them. This spring, a student’s father was shot to death. “That is reality,” Birhanzel said. “Homicides and shootings are not just happening to people we don’t know.” Against that backdrop, thoughts on addressing gun deaths vary. “We have all these laws and proposals and whatever to try and handle what’s happening,” said Dr. Manish Sethi, an orthopedic trauma surgeon at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee who frequently operates on gunshot victims. “And I just feel like we need community solutions.”
So he and a colleague won a small grant for a pilot program that teaches conflict resolution strategies in schools. The initial results were encouraging, and now they are seeking money to extend the program to 10 schools. “Some of these children, once these things happen to them, their lives are over,” said Sethi, who has lectured on gun violence. “They’re done, and the world that they knew is gone.” Fields, the state representative from Aurora, applauded that kind of work. But she also touted new laws — she sponsored a measure extending background checks to private gun sales. “I would agree that legislation is not the sole avenue … but I do think that legislation is one tool to help us address those that use guns when they’re committing crimes, and how they go about purchasing their guns, and how we regulate guns,” Fields said.

opinions / yours and ours
As tassels turn, students punch their tickets The book “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” by Dr. Seuss is often gift-wrapped by wellwishers and then unwrapped by graduates. The title is suitably upbeat for a celebration. After all, the line that follows “Oh, the places you’ll go!” is “There is fun to be done.” Later the story reads, “KID YOU’LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!” We appreciate the spirit of the season. Graduation commencements are so fun, and the rows of students all look so brilliant. “You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed. You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead,” the book assures us. But we take a moment to pause and remind the graduates — younger students take note — that the book also states, “You will come to a place where the streets are not marked,” and “When you are alone, there’s a very good chance you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.” So students of all ages, tighten your
our view belts and prepare well. About 40 percent of Colorado’s high school class of 2011 needed remedial courses, although down from 41 percent the year before. And at four-year-level schools in the state, the retention rate for students not assigned to remediation was 79 percent, compared with 60 percent for those needing remediation. That’s not good, and it costs money — a lot of money. The estimated cost associated with remedial courses was about $58 million in 2011-12, with the state’s share at $19 million, according to the Colorado Department of Higher Education 2012 Legislative Report on Remedial Education executive summary. Critics can say by the time students

What movie do you most want to see? Colorado Community Media visited Reinke Bros. in downtown Littleton and Hollywood Theaters at the Streets at South-
glenn recently to ask people what movie they’re most looking forward to seeing this summer and why.
“ ‘The Great Gatsby.’ I think it’s a good role for Leonardo DiCaprio, because he seems like him already.” — Amy Taylor, Great Barrington, Mass.
“ ‘The Hangover 3,’ because it resembles my life. I’ve got to be happy, and I’ve got to do what I can to get by.” — Scotty Buchanan, Centennial
“ ‘Star Trek Into Darkness.’ I saw the first one, and I really liked it. And somebody said they characterize Spock and Kirk without caricaturizing them.” — Jan Taylor, Littleton

have graduated from high school they have already gone a lot of “places” — academically — compared with other countries, such as China, where electives are fewer and core skills are stronger. The world doesn’t wait for everyone to be road ready or then provide a smooth ride. So to the students who have a good idea of a place they want to go, we encourage them to follow their ambitions without reservation. To the rest, don’t be swayed by the notion that there is this vast amusement park of career fields to sample after high school before committing. Instead consider making a choice with 4G speed, and don’t back away from your instincts by the idea that you might not want to stay in that chosen field for a lifetime. The somewhat questionable general statistic that the average American will experience seven careers in a lifetime can be comforting or disturbing — depending on your point of view. We say ignore it, dig
‘Go time’ is time to get up and go This week there were a couple of quotes or sayings that for whatever reason I had heard repeatedly. The first one was, “If it were easy everyone would be doing it.” And the second saying was, “Good things come to those who wait, but not for those who wait too late.” I saw these words of encouragement in emails, and one was highlighted in a book that a friend had sent me. Other friends and associates used them on different calls and meetings. Coincidence — or am I being sent a message? The timing could not be better as I have been putting off some major decisions, projects, and goals. There has been so much going on that the excuses seemed easier than the activity required to get things accomplished. It’s go time. Time to get after things,
You can learn a lot in a traffic jam. You can learn a lot about people when you’re parked on the freeway. You can find out where someone went to college, or where someone wishes they had gone to college, by their decals. Is it a misdemeanor to pretend you went to USC? I think it should be a misdemeanor to attend USC, but that’s because I went to UCLA. The Trojans are as lowlife as Chinese raccoons. I saw an “I Like Ike” sticker on a Corvair. I figured the driver would be a seniorsenior citizen. He wasn’t. It was a kid who was playing drums, or pretending to. I’m sure he was listening to The Who. The illegitimate son of Keith Moon. We like to use our cars to preach to many choirs. Our car signs reflect strong opinions about the government, specific politicians, the economy, jobs, firearms, immigration and same-sex marriages. I never see stickers that advocate drain cleaners or Q-tips. Now and then I see a fish on legs. A Sturgis sticker. You know what that means. There are also comic bumper stickers. Bumpers are a good place to show others that humor, wit and satire are much more difficult than most people realize. I have watched a few minutes of Craig Ferguson and I just stare. Our bumpers enable us to think that we are amusing by acquisition, rather than by fact. You can buy humor, you just can’t do it on your own. That’s why we have laff riot greeting cards. I return all laff riot cards to the senders. “I’m not 40. I’m 18 with 22 years of experience.” “Have an udderly wonderful birthday.” The card shows a picture of a cow. If that made you laugh, please put down this column and go put on an apron.
Here are some of the funniest bumper stickers out there right now. I don’t know who voted. Shecky Greene? Red Buttons? Blue Moon Odom? “Hang on to something.” “Be nice to America or we’ll bring democracy to your country.” “Fat people are hard to kidnap.” “Don’t worry what people think. They don’t do it very often.” “Hang up and drive.” I guess that’s not really meant to be funny, is it? It’s just a hopeless hope of mine. “‘Ewe were meant for me,’ the sheepherder said.” “My child is an honor student.” You knew there would be a backlash. “My zombie ate your honor student.” “My Brittany is smarter than your Brittany.” There’s pith too. “If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.” “The one who loves least controls the relationship.” “Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.” Kierkegaard said that. “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” This beauty, attributed to Gandhi: “An eye for an eye makes the whole world Smith continues on Page 11

into a direction and dig in. Do your best to see that your courses are accountable to provide the training for the needed skill sets and the knowledge to understand the changing world. Learn as much as you can, and be competitive in earning door-opening good grades. So that’s our skinny to students on their journeys. And a final thought — in contrast to “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” which has the words “you” or “your” more than 100 times — the future can be less self-centric and involve a direction to help someone or to seek an important answer. The words of neurologist Viktor Frankl, author of “Man’s Search of Meaning,” sometimes find their way into some of our favorite commencement speeches. “Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual,” he wrote. Oh, the people you can help.
In a recent edition of the paper, the school district lauded a survey in which teachers said they enjoyed their school environment. Unfortunately, the survey did not ask a single question about what teachers felt about the school district as a whole or the school board. In fact, the district actively ignores an earlier survey which did ask teachers about the district and school board and in which the teachers did, indeed, say they were incredibly dissatisfied by the direction of the district — indeed, only 14 percent said they were happy with the culture and direction

of the district (and in talking to teachers, that number seems incredibly high). Funny how the board ignores that. But if you really want to know what teachers think of our district — ask them. Not in an email, where the district will read it and then use their answers to fire them, and not in a group setting where their words can be twisted and used against them, but one-on-one and face to face. Then you will find the truth about what is happening in our district — no survey needed. Christina Marriott Highlands Ranch

Leadership program reaches out for applicants ts Class members must commit for two years
es g for By Jane Reuter e to jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com as Leadership Douglas County is looking n for its Class of 2013-14. Program leaders are heir accepting applications through June 15 for the 10-month program that kicks off in September and continues with monthly meethe ings through June 2014. The program is a two-year commitment mes d designed for the county’s up-and-coming
and current leaders. Class members also are required to attend monthly steering committee meetings in their second year to help plan sessions for the incoming class. Leadership Douglas County gives students hands-on education about Douglas County’s key organizations, processes, issues and history. Participants visit police stations, fire departments, schools, the coroner’s office and other sites, and while there’s some lecturing, most of the education comes from doing, program director Carrie Buchan said. “Last month, we had fire and emergency
services day at South Metro Fire Rescue,” she said. “We learned how to rappel, how to use a fire extinguisher and about backboarding. “They get often to see a lot of areas the general public doesn’t get to see,” she said. “On law enforcement day, we go to the Douglas County Justice Center. They get tours within the jail which is really eyeopening, and come away with quite a new appreciation and respect for the jobs these people are doing.” Students also will explore ground and air transportation, with visits to Centennial Airport among other sites.
The class meets on the first Wednesday of the month from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. All classes must be attended in their entirety. The program fee is $495 per person. While employers often spring for the cost, scholarships are available. More than 230 people have participated in Leadership Douglas County since its 1999 inception. The program is designed to bring people with varying backgrounds together to learn from one another’s experiences and perspectives.

Dems held the remote during Legislature show I’m about to take you to into a strange and highly unorganized place: my warped mind. It all starts with a recent conversation I had with a lobbyist at the Capitol about the correct pronunciation of the Latin-based “sine die.” It means “without day” and it’s typically used in conjunction with a governing body ending its work for a while — such as the case was last week with the adjournment of the 2013 General Assembly. The lobbyist pronounced sine die the way it looks on paper. “I think it’s like saying `sign,’ or `Seinfeld,’” he told me. That’s when I abruptly changed the subject to begin sharing some of my favorite “Seinfeld” moments, and to quote lines from classic episodes like “The Library” or “The Contest.” You see, I get distracted easily. I continued to think about the pronunciation of sine die, and, at the same time, how hilarious of a show “Seinfeld” was. And, after a while, I was certain that the lobbyist had it all wrong. You wanna know why? Because “Seinfeld” was endearingly dubbed a “show about nothing.” And, say what you will about this year’s legislative session, but it certainly was something. There, see. I warned you — warped mind. Only I could go from Latin phrases to “Seinfeld” episodes to a summary of the legislative session.
But it kinda makes sense. You see, Democrats truly believe that this year’s session was a Show About Something. And their definition of the word “something” is a heck of a lot different from Republicans’. “There’s a lot of good that came out of this session,” said Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver. “I think we put some really positive public policy out there and I think the people of Colorado are going to look back at this session and just be amazed at all the things we found the time to do.” So the Democrats are happy. For them, the session was about sunshine and puppy dog tails. As for the Republicans, not so much. “They charged hard to the left and stayed there the entire session,” said Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, of the Democrat agenda. I know what you’re thinking right now. You’re thinking, `Hey, wait a second, Vic. You mean to tell me that Democrats and Republicans disagreed on how this year’s legislative session turned out?’”
Yep. Shocking, ain’t it? Democrats feel like they hit the jackpot this session, by passing a host of major pieces of legislation: civil unions, education reform, election reform, in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants and gun control, just to name a few. Seriously. If there was such a thing as Democratic bingo, the entire card would be full of little dauber-stained dots. “Any one of these things by themselves would have been historic and epic, frankly, in a session,” said Senate Majority Leader Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora. “And we did. One after the other, after the other.” Hmm. But did they do too much? Republicans sure think so. They think Democrats will rue the day that they tried to push such a progressive agenda on the voters. Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, RColorado Springs, mocked the Democrats’ legislative efforts on job creation. He said the Democrats proved they’re a party that’s beholden to unions and their efforts hurt small businesses. “This agenda is punishing people in Colorado,” Cadman said. McNulty agrees. “The Democrats have clearly shown that they are very liberal,” he said. “Colorado voters are not going to reward them for that.” But Democrats are making no apologies. They also believe that Republicans didn’t do much of anything, except to complain and say no to just about everything
throughout the 120-day session. That’s not what the voters wanted this session, Carroll said. “We would rather be criticized for tackling too many of Colorado’s problems, than not enough,” Carroll said. So, there ya have it. A legislative session that spanned five months, with reaction that can be summed up as: Democrats good; Republicans bad. And vice versa. Who would’ve thunk it, right? Or, maybe the session could be summed up as being a really long, and not nearly as funny, “Seinfeld” episode. Think about it. Whenever Democrats did something controversial, Republicans would bemoan with a “Newman!”-like expression. And, when Republicans complained about Democratic overreach, Democrats like Carroll would respond with an Elaine Benes-like shove to the chest, and a hearty “Get out!” There was one episode where Kramer started the show by pretending to do a stand-up comedy routine, a la Jerry Seinfeld. “What’s the deal with politics?” Kramer said. “Am I right, people? I don’t get it.” I think Kramer might be on to something there. Hmm. Maybe it’s pronounced SINE-DIE after all. Just like “Seinfeld.” Vic Vela is the legislative reporter for Colorado Community Media.

w District attorney reviews big cases
not Here is a summary of the major cases ar- we have prosecuted since Jan. 8 when I took office as your new district attorney. ack- If you wonder why we are not updating than you on several of the major cases in your jurisdiction, it is because we are prevented sion from discussing them by pre-trial media n orders issued by the judges in each case.
.
Douglas County
• Reese Slade was sentenced to 108 med years in the Department of Corrections y for assault in the first degree on Douglas out County Sheriff Office Deputy Jason Jarrett, g attempted assault in the first degree on oan another officer and menacing on DCSO Deputy Kevin Nichols. He was also cond victed of DUI, possession of methamphetats amine and Oxycodone. At a prior hearing, ne he had been determined to be a habitual arty offender. On February 5, 2010, defendant Slade er was pulled over pursuant to a REDDI report of a DUI and refused to comply with nDeputy Jarrett’s repeated orders to get out of his car. Eventually, when Jarrett tried to mer pull him out, Slade resisted him and drove off with Deputy Jarrett hanging out of Slade’s car, and crashed into a fence. Then, defendant placed his car in reverse and -DIE drove backwards, with Jarrett still hanging out of the driver’s side door. Slade’s car crashed into a trailer and a fence, pinning Deputy Jarrett between the car door and be the trailer. One of the officers and his K9 om. were also nearly struck by the car as Slade drove it in reverse. Eventually, the officers were able to place Slade under arrest. In a subsequent search of defendant’s car, they recovered a loaded handgun, a quarterpound of methamphetamine and some Oxycodone. At the time of his arrest, Slade had several prior convictions including: ers. felony possession with intent to distribute rg. a Schedule I controlled substance (from 2006) and felony theft from the elderly mu- (from 1995). • A warning to parents of children using g to smartphones with geolocators: We held a press conference to make a public safety d ker/ announcement jointly with the Douglas Leslie

County Sheriff’s Office. DCSO has discovered a disturbing trend of predatory adult behavior using smartphone apps with geolocator functions. Adults are texting and then meeting with children and having sex with them. Since these phone apps can be anonymously downloaded by anyone, anywhere, law enforcement can’t identify or catch the offenders. Often the children go onto the sites and pretend to be over 18 and meet with adults, sometimes without considering the potential health hazards of unprotected sexual activity. I have issued a statement warning predators: “We are watching you and will find you!” • In March 2012, Thomas Hild stole $480,000 worth of jewelry in Parker by digging a tunnel from the neighboring business into the Apex jewelry store and then drilling open their substantial safe. The evidence presented at trial included video surveillance footage of the defendant committing the theft. Hild was convicted by a jury of theft, conspiracy to commit theft, second-degree burglary, criminal mischief and conspiracy to commit second-degree burglary. His sentencing is set for June 14, and he will be sentenced as a habitual criminal.
Arapahoe County
• On Feb. 22, Conner Donohue pleaded guilty to the hit-and-run death of Officer Jeremy Bitner of the Englewood Police Department. On May 28, 2012, Mr. Donohue, while intoxicated, struck Officer Bitner with his Nissan Pathfinder while Bitner was performing a traffic stop of another driver on Broadway near Belleview Avenue. That second driver was also injured by Mr.
Donohue. Sentencing is scheduled for May 31, occurring within days of the one-year anniversary of Officer Bitner’s death. I led the prosecution team in this case. • A DNA match enabled us to prosecute Daniel Lopez for the murder of Yong Soon Kirk, a 65-year-old widow, in her Aurora home in 2007. Lopez was convicted by a jury on three felony counts: murder in the first degree (after deliberation), murder in the first degree (felony murder) and firstdegree burglary. The homicide investigation, spearheaded by the Aurora Police Department Major Crime Unit, identified the genetic profile of the suspect early in the investigation. Detectives and analysts from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation eliminated more than 50 possible suspects over the course of two years. Detective Miller was notified in February 2009 that Lopez was a possible suspect after Lopez’s DNA was added to the statewide DNA database after a felony drug conviction. DNA, including blood on the victim’s underwear, and palm prints from the crime scene were later directly matched to Lopez. In reference to Mr. Lopez’s prosecution, I commented: “Justice means trying the most challenging cases that may have been forgotten. This conviction honors the memory of Mrs. Yong Soon Kirk and demonstrates our determination to prosecute cases that may have been left unsolved.” • Here is a chilling story of domestic violence. DeSean Owens was found guilty of six counts of violence against his former girlfriend. They included assault, kidnapping, menacing and violating a protection order. The events took place on April 3, 2011, in Aurora. In a series of violent acts against his former girlfriend, Owens pulled the victim out of her apartment at knifepoint, and severed most of her finger when the victim put her hands in front of her face and screamed for help. He forced her into his truck and then drove her to a park where she believed the defendant would kill her. She secretly dialed 911 and was rescued by the police. Mr. Owens has nine prior felony convictions and faces a potential sentence of from 15-96 years in

the Department of Corrections. • On January 15, 2012, Amir Bland and another unidentified, masked and armed gunman robbed the Movie Tavern in Aurora. They confronted seven employees at the restaurant, held them at gunpoint and took money directly from the employees themselves, the business safe and cash registers. In less than two minutes, they got away with just over $7,000 in cash. Bland led the police on a high-speed car chase but was eventually caught. When he was arrested, he was wearing a bulletproof vest and had a gun holster on his hip. Mr. Bland was convicted for the robbery and faces a double-digit jail term. • Nathan Dunlap has been sentenced to death for shooting five employees at a Chuck E. Cheese’s in Aurora in 1993. Four of the victims died and he severely injured another. Mr. Dunlap has been scheduled for execution in August. I have issued this statement: “While all murders are tragic, some are truly heinous. Execution should remain a potential sentence for the very most culpable, calculated, and cold-blooded killers.” There has been a request for clemency from Mr. Dunlap’s defense team, which we have vigorously opposed.
Elbert County
• A tragic event should serve as a warning for teens to drive carefully and without distractions. A young man was sentenced to two years’ probation for driving through a stop sign. Another car hit the side of his car, killing his passenger in the front and seriously injuring another in the back seat. In conclusion, I urge all members of the public to report any suspected criminal activity to local law enforcement and to contact the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office if they have questions or concerns about pending cases where they are victims of crime. George Brauchler is the district attorney for Colorado’s 18th Judicial District, which includes Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

Road construction to impact motorists Castle Rock project to last most of summer By Rhonda Moore
rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com The Meadows developer started a road expansion project that will impact hundreds of commuters and last most of the summer. The Castle Rock Development Co. began work on a road project at Meadows Parkway and Prairie Hawk Drive that will add new median curbs, replace pavement, widen the roads and add a new turn lane into Limelight Avenue. Construction began May 15 as part of an agreement between the Town of Castle Rock and the development company, according to the town. The increased traffic and new businesses near the AMC Castle Rock 12 theater warranted the improvements, said Bob Goebel, director of public works. Work on Prairie Hawk Drive began first, with plans to widen the road and add new turn lanes for northbound traffic at the Meadows Parkway intersection. During construction, the northbound left-hand turn lane on Prairie Hawk Drive will be closed.
An electronic sign alerts northbound drivers on the Prairie Hawk Drive approach to Meadows Parkway of construction scheduled at that intersection for most of the summer. Photo by Rhonda Moore Travelers who want to turn left from northbound Prairie Hawk Drive at Meadows Parkway or New Hope Way will be detoured to Low Meadow Boulevard. Once completed, northbound Prairie
Hawk Drive will have two left turn lanes at Meadows Parkway, two through lanes and a separate right-turn lane. Work is expected to last until late June and work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
When Prairie Hawk Drive is completed, crews will begin work to provide a new right-turn lane from eastbound Meadows Parkway onto Limelight Avenue. During construction, the eastbound and westbound lanes closest to the medians could be closed and no left turns will be allowed at the Limelight Avenue and Meadows Parkway intersection, according to the town. Work on the Meadows Parkway project is expected to last up to five weeks and construction hours will depend on lane closures. To avoid rush hours, lanes closures will be limited to between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. When all lanes are open, crews will work from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Saturday hours are not scheduled unless weather delays the project, in which case Saturday hours could be necessary, according to the town. “The town works closely with its developers on these projects,” Goebel said. “We will all work together to make sure this construction has the smallest impact possible on motorists.” Coachline Road to Wolfensberger Road or Plum Creek Parkway is the recommended alternate route during construction. For more information about the projects and a timeline for closures, visit CRgov.com/ meadowsparkway.

Samples lead singer and Colorado native Sean Kelly performs at the May 16 grand opening of Larry Miller Nissan in Highlands Ranch, following its relocation from Englewood. In addition to music, the celebration featured a visit from the Denver Broncos mascot, Miles, as well as acknowledgments from Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella, Larry Miller Group CEO Greg Miller, company regional vice president Pat Steiner and store manager Todd Haskins.

Textiles stretch through time Denver Art Museum exhibit will run until end of summer By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “SPUN: Adventures in Textiles,” a campus-wide collection of exhibits at the Denver Art Museum, runs through Sept. 22 and will require more than one visit if one wants to really absorb the vast array of wonderful objects included. And then there’s the Institute for Figuring’s growing crochet coral reef, which visitors are invited to add to. Preliminary publicity has not addressed crochet much, but whimsical works snake throughout the complex and are delightful to contemplate — look up, as well as to the side. It’s a traveling exhibit called “Hyperbolic Crochet Reef.” Start with “Cover Story” on the sixth floor of the North (Ponti) Building, since that’s where director Christoph Heinrich started his planning. The museum received gifts from the Andrew F. Mellon Foundation and from the Avenir Foundation to continue transformation and expansion of the textile department to six times its size. In addition to expansion, the endowment will support a full-time textile conservator, Alice Zrebiec, and a fellowship in conservation. “Cover Story,” in space that had been storage, illustrates the depth of the museum’s collection. It includes elaborate embroidered Asian silks, woven carpets, a French paisley shawl and a contemporary tapestry by Polish artist Stefan Galowski. The eye leads the visitor to a bright, nearby Thread Studio, with items one can touch and a PreVIEW room where conservators can be observed as they work on large pieces. On Thursdays from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., the doors will be open for those who register in advance. On other days, one can watch through wide windows. Also in the North Building: “Irresistible: Multicolored Textiles from Asia”; “Common Threads: Portraits by August Sander and Seydou Keita” — a look at what people wore at a moment in time; “Western Duds: How Clothing Helped Create an Archetype,” Western Art Gallery, level 7; “Fashion Fusion: Native Textiles in Spanish Colonial
“Walking in Venus Blue Cave” by Ernesto Neto, an installation included in the “Material World” section of SPUN. Courtesy photo Art”; “Flash of Red, Glint of Gold: Woven Riches of South America”; “Pattern Play: the Contemporary Designs of Jacqueline Groag” (a British contemporary designer). Cross the bridge to the Hamilton Building and continue the adventure: On level 2, “Red, White and Bold: Masterworks of Navajo Design, 1840 to 1870” is a stunning display in the steep, angled Martin McCormick Gallery, of rugs featuring the red yarn obtained by unraveling German fabric; “Material World” on level 4 features imaginative works by contemporary artists made with found materials, including yarns and fabrics. Example, a large wall piece made from deconstructed teddy bears and a painterly Lucas Samaras sewn piece made from textiles; on level 3, “Bruce Price: Works on Paper” is a collection of works by a local artist/ teacher, who includes textiles, especially gingham in his works. “We are inviting visitors to look at tex-
tiles in a new way,” said Nancy Blomberg, curator of native arts at the DAM. “There are many unexpected elements — a photograph, for example — that connect to this medium that will surprise and delight our guests. We want people to tap into their creativity as well and try their hand at weaving, quilting, sewing — anything and everything related to thread.” A drop-in Quilt Studio on level 1 and collaborative projects with artists and creative groups will be offered every weekend. Participants can design a block for the SPUN Community Quilt. Also, watch as a Pop-up Dye Garden grows through the summer on the plaza, illustrating plants from the back yard that provide bright dye colors. Admission to all the sections of SPUN is included in general admission. For information on admission, hours, programs, see denverartmuseum.org or call 720-9130130, or email info@denverartmuseum.org.
CNN Travel recently ranked beer towns in the U.S., and deemed Denver as No. 5. Now, we could argue with that — especially considering that our governor helped put this cow town on the beer map — but national exposure is all good. CNN says “not all cities are carbonated equal. Some have begun to take beer personally, innovating its craft and consumption and throwing festivals to honor the finest ales and lagers — creating a blueprint for the rest of the country to follow. Still others have been doing this all along.” To check out the story, go to cnn.com and enter “best beer towns” in the search bar.
Memorial to be dedicated
The Colorado Freedom Memorial in Aurora is soon to be dedicated to Colorado and the nearly 6,000 Colorado Gold Star Families whose loved ones make up the memorial’s roll call. Beginning with the Gold Star Concert on May 25, and carrying through to the Home with Honor Dedication on May 26, the Colorado Freedom Memorial will proudly stand in honor of those who gave all in service to their country. The dedication weekend events that are open to the public include: The Gold Star Concert from 5 to 7 p.m. May 25, celebrating “Heroic Lives” with performances by the 101st Army Band, Face Vocal Band and Mollie Weaver on The Great Lawn at the Aurora Municipal Building, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway. Tickets are limited and available at www.militaryevents.us/rsvp using event code: CFM. On May 26 at 2 p.m., the dedication will begin with the arrival of the dedication processions at the memorial. The procession will include a horse-drawn caisson, full military honors, representatives from each branch of the military, VIPs and Colorado Gold Star Family representatives. The dedication ceremony will feature VIP guest speakers, representatives of Colorado’s legislative delegation, honor guard and color posting, a wreath-laying ceremony, bird release and performances by the 101th Army Band. The dedication ceremony is open to the public, and will be held at the Colorado Freedom Memorial/Springhill Community Park, 756 N. Telluride St., Aurora.
Going for ‘Big Break’
Former University of Colorado AllAmerican women’s golfer Emily Talley is participating on Golf Channel’s reality show “Big Break.” And, after the airing of just one show (May 13), Talley already has seen an elevated level of fame. “I posted that I was going to be on the show on Facebook and it was the most response I have ever had,” Talley said. “I don’t think I could say I’m getting married and get that much response. But it’s fun, you see how many people love the show, how many people are rooting for you. “A lot of people you don’t know connect with you on a TV show, you have a lot of people rooting for you,” Talley said. “Maybe I made them laugh or maybe they felt my frustration.” “Big Break,” which was filmed at an Iberostar resort about 45 minutes south of Cancun in Mexico, airs at 7 p.m. Mondays on the Golf Channel.

Last July, Talley heard she had made the first round of cuts and would be brought in for an interview. But it wasn’t until November that she heard anything. She was at the Arizona State Open when she got a call saying that she had made it to the third round of interviews. Then after missing her LPGA card by three strokes at the third stage of qualifying school, she got the call that would change her life. “You don’t hear anything forever,”

Talley said. “I had a feeling they were waiting for Stage 3 to be over, because if you do well there, you have your card, you don’t need your Big Break.” It was then another six weeks before she would leave for the filming of the show, which took 3½ weeks. “It was a stressful situation,” Talley said. “But it was some of the best fun I’ve ever had. We had to get up at 4:30 a.m. every morning, we were mic’d up by 5 and by the time we were at the course, had the competitions, it was 5 p.m. before we were back. We’d all have dinner together and then you’re shooting interviews until midnight, and then you do it all over again. But when it’s something like a once-in-alifetime opportunity, your body just

the community and visitors for generations to come.” Construction of the park will take place in multiple phases over the next several years, according to the town of Castle Rock. The $10 million park and accompanying fieldhouse was the town’s top park priority and was one of the town’s top five considerations in Castle Rock’s 2013 budget. The 225-acre park is on Plum Creek Parkway, northwest of the Interstate 25 interchange. Construction of the fieldhouse will begin in late summer and will be visible from Plum Creek Parkway. “This is the largest project we’ve undertaken,” said Jeff Smullen, superintendent of parks planning and construction. “We don’t have anything else like it.” For more information about the Philip S.

The day they broke ground on the Philip S. Miller Park, town leaders called it the crown jewel of Castle Rock. With the promise of a 225-acre park that includes a 60,000 square-foot fieldhouse, water features, amphitheater and up to five miles of trails, the town on May 15 hosted a ceremony among the park’s peaks to celebrate the start of construction. The ceremony marked day one of what is a multi-year project, said Mayor Paul Donahue. “Philip S. Miller Park will be a crown jewel in our inventory of parks,” Donahue said. “We’re looking forward to the final project.” Phase one of the final project coincides with construction of a $9 million fieldhouse — a 50,000 square-foot building to feature indoor synthetic turfs — a play adventure area and swimming pools. The start of construction of the fieldhouse was accelerated to coincide with the park’s groundbreaking in hopes of celebrating a 2014 grand opening of the park and the fieldhouse. “This (groundbreaking) is a culmination of over two years of hard work by the community and town staff,” said Rob Hanna, director of parks and recreation. “I’m looking forward to the enjoyment (of the park by)

Drivers await their turns on the starting line at last year’s high school drag races at Bandimere Speedway. This year’s event will be held on May 27. File photo usually there is good representation from high schools such as Cherry Creek, Lakewood, Douglas County, Wheat Ridge and Englewood. But each year, there are drivers from other portions of the state as well as a handful of entries from neighboring states. Racing at the high school drags is limited to current high school students and
2013 graduates. There is also the opportunity for those 19 to 23 to drag-race in the alumni classification. To enter, the person behind the wheel must be a licensed driver. Rules also require the car to be equipped with seat belts, and the car must pass a technical inspection where the vehicle is checked to ensure the seat belts are securely fastened
to the frame, the brakes are good and there is plenty of tread on the tires. The driver of any vehicle that makes runs down the quarter-mile strip faster than 14 seconds is required to wear a helmet. This year the gates open at 10 a.m., time trials begin at 11 and elimination races begin about 2 p.m. The event always draws a crowd on the track and
in the stands. Last year, for example, even with the high cost of gasoline, about 450 drivers represented about 50 different schools in the drag racing competition. In addition to the races, there are contests to select the best-appearing car and the best-appearing crew. There are also opportunities to line up and race against a police officer through the Race a Cop program. For information on ticket prices and more about the event, visit the website at www.bandimere.com or call the track at 303-6976001. The annual event is very popular and drivers show up to race with all kinds of “wheels,” ranging from a hot rod that they drive in weekly races at the track to the family’s station wagon or sports utility vehicle. So, to make the competition as fair as possible, entries are divided into two high school classes, one for the cars, trucks and motorcycles the kids drive on the street, and a different division for the drivers who
will be behind the wheel of vehicles built to compete in drag races. Also, a handicap system called a dial-in is necessary because the field includes such a wide variety of vehicles. The dial-in time is set in time trials and the handicap system allows the slower vehicle in the head-tohead drag race to leave the starting line first. But, running faster than the “dial-in time” is called breaking out and could cost a driver the race. Winning means moving on to the next round. Losing means it’s time to go home. Drivers get merchandise prizes each time they advance. The elimination races continue until a single driver captures the day’s championship. There a multitude of prizes given out during the competition and the day’s champion earns a shot at returning Labor Day to vie for the grand prize, a trip to Frank Hawley’s drag racing school in Florida.

Grizzlies grab final-four spot ThunderRidge yet to lose in playoffs as it seeks baseball crown By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com ThunderRidge saved some of its best baseball for late in the season. The Grizzlies will be the only undefeated team when the four final schools meet May 24 and 25 at All-City Stadium in Denver to determine the Class 5A state champion. ThunderRidge won its first three games in the double elimination, two-weekend portion of the state tournament and will have to lose twice to be denied taking the state championship trophy back to Highlands Ranch. Defending state champion Cherry Creek, Grandview and Rocky Mountain are the other Final Four teams, but each has been saddled with a loss. Still, ThunderRidge is aware that the team, which has been undefeated heading into the final two days of the tournament the past two years, has failed to win the state title. “You are talking about Grandview, Rocky Mountain and Cherry Creek and they have high-quality teams,” said ThunderRidge coach Joe White. “We know we have our hands full.” ThunderRidge (19-5) will play Cherry Creek (21-3) at noon May 24 at All-City Stadium in Denver. Rocky Mountain (20-3) and Grandview (19-4) will meet at 2:30 p.m. The winners will clash at 10 a.m. May 25 at the same site. If ThunderRidge should lose against Creek, the state title game will be played at 12:30 p.m. “We’re on a roll,” said ThunderRidge senior catcher Jake Hand. “These playoff games have been the best we’ve played as a team all season. It is definitely good to have no losses because we’re playing so good but we know it’s the state tournament and you can’t let anyone get past you.” Hand was 7-for-8 with five runs batted in as ThunderRidge edged Legend, 7-5, and

Photo by Jim Benton whipped Mountain Vista, 16-3, in games played May 17 at Machebeuf High School. The Grizzlies scored six runs in the top of the seventh inning to snap a tie and defeat Grandview, 12-6, May 18 at All-City Stadium. Tyler Loptien relieved starting pitcher A. J. Jones and earned the win over Legend. Loptien, a junior right-hander who started the game as the designated hitter, was summoned to the mound with two outs, runners on first and second and the scored tied at 6-all in the top of the fifth inning. Adam Ausmus popped out to end the Legend rally and Loptien went on to retire six consecutive batters. The Grizzlies took their one-run lead on Jones’ solo homer in the bottom of the fifth and Loptien got Tanner Thompson to fly out to end the game after issuing back-to-back walks put the potential tying run on second base in the seventh.
Besides Jones’ game-winning homer, Josh Newell hit a solo homer in the fourth for ThunderRidge and Jake Hand delivered a key two-run double in the Grizzlies’ fourrun third inning against Legend. Connor Lambert and Hand each had three hits in the rout of Mountain Vista, and Lambert, who has seen limited action on the mound because of a strained rotator cuff, settled down after a rough start and didn’t allow Grandview a hit for four innings after the Wolves had jumped to a 6-2 lead. ThunderRidge sent 11 batters to the plate in the seventh-inning uprising and Loptien hurled a scoreless bottom of the seventh. “I come in and do my job of throwing strikes and getting ahead of batters,” said Loptien. “I just wanted to be quick throwing and change up pitches to batters so they don’t see the same thing. All those runs are a comfort to a pitcher. It makes you feel
comfortable going out there.” Hand, who was 7-for-8 with five RBIs in the three wins, led off the decisive seventh inning against Grandview with a double. The Grizzlies had two doubles, four singles, a walk and a three-run homer by A.J. Jacobs during the rally. Hand got up twice during the inning and contributed an RBI single during his second at-bat. “I had to do something,” said Hand of ThunderRidge’s seventh-inning outburst. “I was on deck and coach (Joe) White was walking to the third base coaching box and he said, `Hey, hit a double and then we’ll score you.’ The first pitch, I hit a double and then scored.” White didn’t have any doubts that ThunderRidge would come back from the fourrun deficit and remain unbeaten. “We just have character kids that work hard, don’t give up and they hang in there,” Grizzlies continues on Page 27

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Top-seeded and No. 1-ranked Mountain Vista benefited from a close call, and part of Rock Canyon’s stretch surge has been keyed by a player who missed 11 games. Mountain Vista (18-1-0) and Rock Canyon (16-1-1) made for an All-Continental League — and all-Highlands Ranch — Class 5A girls state championship soccer game May 22 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. Both teams had revenge on their mind entering the title game. Mountain Vista beat Rock Canyon 2-0 in a Continental League match April 12, but the Jaguars upset the top-seeded Golden Eagles in a quarterfinal shootout during last season’s state playoffs. The Golden Eagles’ only loss this season was a 1-0 setback to Pine Creek the night after the victory over Rock Canyon. It was the third game in three nights and Mountain Vista didn’t play several regulars. It was the closest game for coach Theresa Echtermeyer’s team until a 3-2 quarterfinal victory over Fort Collins May 15 at Shea Stadium. Megan Massey scored twice for Mountain Vista against Fort Collins, but it took Gabbi Miranda’s goal on a penalty kick with 7:35 remaining in the game for the Golden Eagles to escape. Katy Couperus, the Lambkins’ leading scorer, was the keeper on the penalty

gles into another title match. Massey also had a goal in the semifinal win. “Mallory is a special player,” said Echtermeyer. “She hadn’t had a goal in a while and I sort of predicted that she was going to unleash. The Fort Collins game put us through some tough times and that was good for us. That lit a fire for us. “We definitely would have been disappointed not to make it to the championship game but we didn’t count on it. There are a lot of things about being the No. 1 ranked team, which we’ve been two years in a row, that hovers over our heads, but we don’t think about that really. We just think about wanting to take care of the opponent today.” Mountain Vista goalie Danielle Cushing suffered a concussion when she dove for a ball during warm-ups and hit her head on the goal post. She went to the hospital and Torrell Stewart, who usually plays one half and Cushing the other, played the entire game against Fossil Ridge. Rock Canyon, a semifinal loser last season, has taken care of 11 straight opponents since its setback to Mountain Vista. The Jaguars blanked Liberty 4-0 May 15 at Shea Stadium and then shut out Legacy 2-0 in the semifinals May 18 at All-City Stadium.

It was a game where we were tested and it was the first game where it was back and forth. It gave us a nice wake-up call. Not every game is a walk in the park.” In a semifinal game against Fossil Ridge
May 18 at Denver’s All-City Stadium, Mountain Vista found itself behind 1-0 after only 101 seconds, but the Golden Eagles responded with three goals in 6:10 and advanced to the championship game with a 6-2 win over the Sabercats.

Four track and field athletes from Douglas County schools captured individual state titles and two Valor Christian relay teams set state records during the Colorado High School Activities Association’s state track meet, held May 16-18 at Jeffco Stadium. Valor Christian senior MaryBeth Sant won the Class 4A 100 and 200-meter dashes. The senior, who lives in Parker, was timed at 11.57 seconds in defending her 100-meter title and she captured the 200-meter championship for the second consecutive year with a time of 23.61. Both times were off her personal bests. Sant, who will compete for Oregon next year, ran the lead-off leg of Valor’s state champion 400-meter relay team, which set a state record of 47.38, breaking the old mark of 48.38 set by Niwot in 2003. The Eagles ran a 48.23 in the prelims to establish a new standard, which was bettered in the finals. In the 800-meter relay, Valor’s team of Christian McCaffrey, Bubba Watkins, Spencer Jamison and Greg Popylisen set an all-
classification state record of 1:25.46 in the preliminaries. The Eagles won with a time of 1:26.39 in the finals. The previous state meet record was 1:26.03 set by Mullen in 2000 and George Washington had the previous all-classification best of 1:25.59 set in 2007. Valor Christian’s girls were fifth in the Class 4A team standings and the Eagles boys were second. “We had an awesome weekend,” said Valor coach Brian Kula. Castle View senior Tanner Townsend was on top of the podium for the Class 5A boys 400-meter dash with a winning time of 47.25. Townsend was second in the 100 with a time of 10.66 and runner-up by a tenth of a second in the 200 meters with a 21.33 clocking. All three times by Townsend were Castle View school records. Townsend, who will play football and run track next season at Sioux Falls, was third in the 100 meters at the 2012 state track meet and placed seventh in the 200-meter dash. Castle View finished fifth in the Class 5A boys team standings. Junior Connor Turnage of Highlands Ranch won the triple jump with a 48-8.5 effort and he was second in the Class 5A long jump. Rock Canyon’s senior Kelsey Lindemann threw the shot put 40-10.25 to capture the girls Class 5A state title.

he said. “Playing in our league (Continental) helps us a lot. It helps us get ready to go.” The Continental League’s three other teams that qualified for the double elimination part of the state playoffs lost twice and were eliminated. Chaparral, the second seed, lost twice and the league co-champions finished with a 17-6 record. Legend, last year’s Class 5A state runner-up, and Mountain Vista each went 1-2.

Eagle girls eliminated
Amada Lopez scored in Valor Christian’s 1-0 Class 4A quarterfinal girls soccer victory over Air Academy May 14 but the Eagles lost 1-0 to Cheyenne Mountain in the May 18 semifinals to end the season with a 11-3-4 record.
Valor nine faces Durango
Valor Christian’s baseball team will be out to stay alive in the double elimination Class 4A baseball tournament when the Eagles (16-8) go against Durango (13-11) in a
slam homer in the fifth and belted a threerun HR in the sixth. “They had been throwing around me all day,” said Klein. “We had the bases loaded that one time and they were still throwing around me. The pitcher got deep in the count and had to come to me and he left it right there and I took advantage of it. They were pitching to me in the sixth inning, I don’t know why, they threw me some nice fastballs and I took advantage of that too.” The Golden Eagles, however, lost to ThunderRidge later on May 17 and dropped a 9-7 decision to Cherry Creek May 18. After the loss to ThunderRidge, Legend came back May 18 at All-City Stadium with a 1-0, eight-inning elimination-game victory over Chaparral. Jordan Stephens doubled to lead off the top of the eighth inning and scored the game’s lone run on Tanner Thompson’s single. Bobby Dalbec pitched all eight innings for the Titans and was matched against the win state.” Rock Canyon coach Matt Henbest says Webb has played an important role since her return. “She’s scored a goal in every game but one since she has been back,” he said. “It’s been a key component of our resurgence.” Rock Canyon’s semifinal game was delayed 30 minutes after halftime for a lightning delay and another 20 minutes late in the game when Legacy’s Brooke Williams was hit hard by a ball in the face and was transported to the hospital. “We’ve been talking about focus being such an important part of the game,” Henbest said. “That bit of practice helped. During the playoffs we’ve scored in the first five, six or seven minutes of the games and that’s helped us be able to take control. “We’re playing our best soccer at the right time. It was in the back of our minds that we might get a chance to see Vista again.”

Speak Now partners with CHSAA
Ponderosa baseball coach Jarod Nicholson and his coaching staff will lead the Ponderosa Baseball Camp for players aged 7-14 from June 10-12 at the Ponderosa High School baseball field. The camp is designed to meet the needs of players in the areas of pitching, hitting, fielding and catching and each session will be held between 8 and 11 a.m. Each participant must provide his own bat, glove and shoes.
Colorado ranks 9th in the nation for teen binge drinking and alcohol remains the drug of choice for teens across the state. In an attempt to help curb this disturbing trend the “Speak Now” campaign, a statewide initiative aimed at encouraging parents to talk to their teens about the dangers of underage drinking, is announcing a partnership with the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA). Outreach will include participation at state athletic championships where parents are already supporting their teens’ healthy lives.
Wolverines’ Max Kuhns in a classic pitching duel. Dalbec, bound for the University of Arizona, struck out 14 batters and allowed only two hits. Kuhns, who will be playing at Santa Clara next spring, surrendered five hits and struck out seven Legend batters. “Dalbec pitched a heck of a game and Kuhns did too,” said Legend coach Scott Fellers. “They both struggled the first couple innings with 3-2 counts but got out of trouble. Bobby caught fire in the fourth inning, started throwing strikes and worked ahead of people. `’ Legend was eliminated hours after its win over Chaparral as Spencer Iberra hit a solo homer in the top of the seventh to give Rocky Mountain a 5-4 win. All five Lobo runs came with two outs. Dalbec had a two-run homer for the Titans. Mickey Peterson and Anthony Kaasch
had the other Legend RBIs. “We’ve got some good players down in the lower levels and we’ve got a good nucleus coming back,” said Fellers. “We’ve got our one, two and four hitters back. We have our two pitchers Baird (Mike) and Remy (Peyton) back. It’s going to be fun the next couple years.” “We came out this year and started 1-4. We played good baseball from then on. We played great the last couple weeks. “ Chaparral, which owned regular season wins over both Legend and Mountain Vista, lost two games by a total of three runs. “We lose a lot of guys,” said Wolverines coach Tony Persichina. “We lose our one and two pitchers. We lose some great leaders. But, hopefully the thing we talk about all the time is passing it down. Every year we’ve made strides.”

Gym, fine wine shop coming to Larkspur New building will be located near north end of town By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com In 2005, Larkspur business owner Joe Yavorski built one of the first office buildings the town had seen in some time. He’s at it again. Yavorski is preparing to break ground on a 9,500-square-foot, two-story building near the northern entrance to town this June and he already has the tenants lined up. They will include a high-end wine shop, the town’s only full-service gym and the headquarters for a financial services company, Energy Funding Partners, which Yavorski will help to manage. Aesthetically, Yavorski says, the building will look just like his other one, which houses Pineland Dental Office and Yavorski’s Creative Energy Systems Inc., at 8520 Spruce Mountain Road, and it will be located right next door. “Larkspur is a unique place and we are trying to bring business in,” he said. “We were able to bring a dentist in, and she’s loaded with customers. Bringing business in keeps people from driving out of town.” Yavorski, along with Larkspur town of-
Joe Yavorski, president and CEO of Creative Energy Systems, is getting ready to break ground on a second office building on Spruce Mountain Road in Larkspur modeled after the existing one behind him built in 2005. The new building will feature an office, a high-end wine shop and a full-service gym complete with showers, a weight room, multi-use room for classes and an area for fitness equipment. Photo by Ryan Boldrey ficials, reached out to the Douglas County commissioners multiple times in recent months, and on May 14 the commission-
ers waived the $8,365 in building service fees associated with the project so Yavorski could afford to get started.
He hopes to add another business on his property in about three years and has the space to build. “There’s not a lot of economic development there,” said Commissioner Jack Hilbert. “Every community in this county is viable and we want to see every community in this county become sustainable. Larkspur’s town council made a direct personal request to talk, we listened, we understood the economic impact it will have for their small community and we feel it is the right thing for us to do to support it.” Yavorski said it would not have been profitable for him to construct the building now without the waiver due to the price he pays for property taxes — currently $39,000 per year, which will nearly double with the new building. “It’s beyond important,” said Mayor Gerry Been. “The development has to happen. The more we have, the more the people will stay and shop and we need that. We’ve got one golden egg (the Colorado Renaissance Festival) and we need a couple more. We need small business to make that happen. Every door that opens helps to keep the money here.” The building and all of its businesses are expected to open sometime next spring.
