Local brush fire sparks caution Douglas County elevates restrictions to Stage 2 level By Ryan Boldrey

Littleton Fire Rescue Capt. Gene Nagel, right, talks to Littleton and South Metro firefighters before they tackled the Highlands Ranch brush fire that broke out June 19.
A small brush fire broke out in Highlands Ranch June 19 near the intersection of Highlands Ranch Parkway and Fairview Parkway. The fire, which was put out in a little over an hour, scorched close to four acres of open space south of Dad Clark Trail, east of Clariton Drive. It took assistance from Littleton Fire Rescue, South Metro Fire Department and Rampart Helicopter Services — based out of Castle Rock — to contain the burn area. “This is scary stuff, especially when it starts burning in the urban interface like this,” said Littleton Fire Chief John Mullin. “It’s going to be a busy summer.” Fire continues on Page 8
As Douglas County entered a Stage 2 Fire Restriction this past week, the Highlands Ranch Community Association made the call to postpone its annual Fourth of July fireworks show for the second consecutive year. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office’s call to enter a stage 2 ban, which prohibits the use of personal or professional fireworks, came on the heels of a week that saw a four-acre brush fire break out in Highlands Ranch, the Lime Gulch Fire burn 500 acres in adjacent Jefferson County and a handful of other fires around the state. “If we remain in stage 2 there will be no fireworks,” said HRCA spokeswoman Jamie Noebel. “And the chance of that changing is slim to none. Unless we get a lot of rain in the next week, it will be hard for that call to be made. I don’t see it happening.” Even if the county shifts restrictions back to stage 1, which only prohibits the use of personal fireworks, but allows for professional shows, Noebel said the community association would have to seriously assess what the most responsible thing to do is. “This isn’t a joke anymore,” she said. “This is very serious stuff. It’s unfortunate we have to do this, but it’s absolutely the right thing to do. We’ll set the clock back for a day again, and wait to celebrate at Oktoberfest.” If the county reverts to stage 1 prior to the Fourth and the HRCA makes the call to go ahead with a fireworks show, Noebel said it will be posted at www.hrcaonline.org.
Mastering two wheels a treat Camp teaches kids with challenges to ride bikes By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com For the past four years, 8-yearold Ryan Laughlin of Highlands Ranch had been working his way up to riding a two-wheel bike without any help. Ryan, who is challenged with a condition called dyspraxia — a neurological disorder in which his brain has difficulty communicating muscle movement with his body — accomplished that goal last week. One of 40 campers at the iCan
Printed on recycled newsprint. Please recycle this copy.
Bike Camp, hosted by the Highlands Ranch Community Association’s Therapeutic Recreation Program, Ryan finally put it all together, mastering the skill in the middle of an action-filled week. “It’s pretty awesome,” he said with a smile, “and really sweaty.” Ryan’s mother, Leigh Laughlin, first learned of the iCan Bike program — formerly known as Lose the Training Wheels — when Ryan was 4, and ever since has worked step for step with him on stationary and glider bikes, helping to prepare him for the camp that teaches mentally and physically challenged youths age 8 and older how to ride. “For him, the challenge is putting together multiple movements, moving his arms, rotating his legs,” she said. “This program addresses all the issues in the order the body comprehends them. I had no idea what to expect, but was hoping for the best. It’s been real nice to watch him learn.”
The camp, in its fifth year in Highlands Ranch — the only site for iCan Bike in Colorado — offers each camper a daily 75-minute session Monday through Friday. The kids start the week in the Eastridge gym, moving outside toward the middle to end of the week once they demonstrate the ability to ride inside. They transition through eight sizes of rollers on their bikes until they are only on two wheels. Each camper has at least one volunteer spotter within an arm’s reach at all times. “It’s so rewarding seeing the improvement the kids make through the week,” said Matthew Vernon, a senior at Rock Canyon. “There is just so much joy. They are all nervous and scared when they first come in. Then they start gaining confidence and really having a blast. … Most of us take riding a bike for granted.” Vernon, one of 90 volunteers at the camp, did one session last year, but was so inspired that he

HIGHLANDS RANCH NEWS IN A HURRY County in top 10 for healthy kids
Douglas County was one of three Colorado counties included in a U.S News and World Report study released June 11 that ranked America’s top 50 healthiest counties for kids. Ranked at No. 8, Douglas was one spot behind Boulder County. Larimer County also made the list, coming in at No. 48. The study’s criteria evaluated, among other things, air quality, percentage of uninsured children, rates of adult smoking and obesity, access to physicians and parks, as well as rates of infant deaths, low-birth-weight babies, injuries resulting in death, teen births, and children in poverty. Developed with the help of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, the study examined roughly 1,200 of the nation’s 3,143 counties and county equivalents such as Louisiana’s parishes. California’s Marin County was ranked No. 1.
Sterling Ranch public hearing set
There is a special public hearing on Sterling
Ranch scheduled for 1 p.m. July 10 at the Philip S. Miller Building, 100 Third St. in Castle Rock. Douglas County commissioners will hear from Sterling Ranch representatives as well as the public and make a decision on whether to give the project the green light for a second time. The county approved the project in 2011, but a court ruling by 18th Judicial District Court Judge Paul King in 2012 stated that the project did not have sufficient water secured for the proposed development. Sterling Ranch has stated that it has since secured the necessary water. The Sterling Ranch development has plans for 12,000 homes, multiple parks and trails, a multifield athletic complex, a hospital, fire services, schools and a town center. If approved, it will be located on 3,400 acres east of Roxborough State Park.

Fire bans in effect in national forests tips for fire use while camping
Staff report All of Pike and San Isabel national forests are currently under Stage 1 fire restrictions. The two forests extend into 14 Colorado counties, and nearly a quarter of Douglas County falls in Pike National Forest. The Stage 1 Ban means that fires are only allowed in constructed, permanent fire pits or grates within developed recreation sites. The use of portable stoves, gas lanterns, jellied petroleum, pressurized liquid fuel or a fully enclosed stove with a quarter-inch spark arrester type screen is also permitted. Smoking is prohibited in the forests, except in an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials. Use of chain saws is only allowed with a USDA- or SAE-approved spark arrester, a chemical pressurized fire extinguisher on hand and a round-point shovel with an overall length of at least 35 inches readily available for use. In addition, welding and
• Before building a campfire, check to ensure it is permitted and obey all restrictions. • Keep a bucket of water and a shovel near the campfire. • When putting the fire out, drown it with water, then stir it with dirt and more water until all the fuel is cold to the touch. Never abandon the fire until it is out cold. • If you do not have water, use dirt. Add and stir until all material is cool. • 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 start a wildfire. Tips courtesy of the U.S. Forest Service other torches are only permitted with at least 10 feet of clear space all around the user and a fire extinguisher present. No explosives or fireworks are allowed in the national forest at this time. Visitors are encouraged to be cognizant of weather conditions and to careful with any use of fire outdoors. Prior to use of fire, forest visitors are also asked to check with their local U.S. Forest Service office or visit www.fs.usda.gov/psicc.

Children were victimized in Douglas, Arapahoe counties By Ryan Boldrey
Botox/Juvederm
C-470 & Wadsworth
Baby sitter convicted in second sex assault A 24-year-old baby sitter has been convicted by a Douglas County jury for the sexual assault of a pre-teen Highlands Ranch boy in his care in the summer of 2010. Justin Jefferson, of Parker, who previously pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting another pre-teen boy he baby-sat in Aurora in 2011, is scheduled to be sentenced by 18th Judicial District Court Judge Richard Caschette on Aug. 28. Jefferson, who was convicted in Douglas County June 14, faces a prison term ranging from 10 years to life for one count of sexual assault on a child while in a position of trust. The charge is listed as a “pattern of abuse.” “The two victims in these cases were remarkJefferson ably brave to come forward with their families and describe their assaults,” said Deputy District Attorney Chris Gallo, who prosecuted the Highlands Ranch case. “Thanks to them, no more children will be victimized. Justin Jefferson will never be alone with a helpless boy again.” Both families that were victimized by Jefferson hired him through the website www.Care.com. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the District Attorney’s Office ask that anyone who hired Jefferson as a baby-sitter between the years of 2009 and 2011 contact law enforcement if they suspect that he engaged in any sexual contact with their children or other inappropriate behavior. “This case is a chilling reminder that our children are at risk if left with strangers,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “As
a parent of young children, I am determined to make sure that these predatory practices are discovered and punished. Nobody gets to victimize our children with impunity.” According to Gallo, it took the Highlands Ranch victim two years to come forward, and the boy did so after Jefferson pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of sex assault on a child by a person in a position of trust in Arapahoe County for the 2011 incident. Jefferson, who avoided potential prison time in the Arapahoe County case after prosecutors agreed to drop the “pattern of abuse” part of the initial charge, was in the midst of a 10-years-to-life term of sexual offender intensive supervision probation while undergoing his recent trial in Castle Rock. He is now in custody in Douglas County on a no-bond hold pending his sentencing. “We take the safety of our community extremely seriously,” Care.com Vice President Nancy Bushkin said in a statement. “We are committed to providing families the best tools and resources to help them make an informed hiring decision and have implemented a number of safety features to help families find quality care providers. “Equally as important to the measures we have instituted, and the tools that we have created for our members to use, is for families to exercise appropriate steps in safety, including meeting care providers before hiring them, reference checks and monitoring the relationship. We are deeply saddened by this news and this incident reinforces the need for everyone — families, communities and companies like us who service them, to be vigilant in assuring the well-being and safety of our children.” While Bushkin added that the online organization reached out to all families with whom Jefferson had been in contact, she refused to say how many families had contracted with the baby-sitter or how long he offered his services on the site. Bushkin said Jefferson’s account was immediately closed after the first incident came to light.

After a surveillance video showed two young men vandalizing a house, two teenagers have been identified as suspects in a vandalism spree that involved hurling rocks through house and car windows in Highlands Ranch. Between midnight and 2 a.m. on June 7, deputies responded to multiple calls in the area between Broadway and University in Highlands Ranch. The teens are believed to be responsible for breaking more than 25 different car and house windows spanning 25 blocks. A resident who lives on Red Haven Way captured video of the two teens stepping out of a silver SUV and throwing a rock through his window. After releasing the video to multiple news agencies, the sheriff’s office received numerous tips through Metro Denver Crime Stoppers and was able to identify two suspects, one 18-year-old adult, and one juvenile. According to Undersheriff Tony Spurlock, the department has the vehicle used by the teens in its possession. “This is an extensive, ongoing investigation and at the conclusion of the investigation, the determination of what, if any charges will be made and forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office,” said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, spokesman for the sheriff’s office in a June 20 news release. “No arrests have been made at this time.” “We think these kids just went out on a damage spree for one night,” Spurlock said, adding that a tip identifying the ve-
hicle led sheriff’s deputies to the suspects. “They both retained counsel immediately. We could be looking at 20-plus different counts of misdemeanor or felony criminal mischief.”
Thefts at county fairgrounds
There were two linked thefts reported outside the Douglas County Fairgrounds during a horse show on June 13. One theft resulted in a $2,000 Honda generator being taken from outside of a horse trailer in the parking lot as well as a $5,000 saddle that had been sitting on top of the generator. The saddle, a Dale Martin Cutting Saddle, had Pro Choice skid boots attached along with engraved silver stirrups. The other theft, reported separately, involved an Eagle Mountain Kyle Jack Saddle, valued at $5,000, and $500 bridles described as “Part Rodeo Tom Balding’s.” Both victims reported seeing “two skater-looking kids in the area that appeared suspicious.” Both were white males, one of whom had light green basketball shorts and the other who had curly long brown hair and tight green pants on.
Statue stolen in Ranch
A gray and green statue of a longbearded Asian man was taken from near the front door of a house in the 9600 block of Dunning Circle in Highlands Ranch sometime between June 10 and 12. The “very heavy” statue is over three feet in height and valued at close to $400. There are no suspects or leads in the case.

We can never repay the debt and sacrifice they paid for our freedom.” Harkness, a 15-year employee of the HRCA, served in Army Air Forces between 1942 and 1946, while Chambers, a 22-year HRCA employee, served in the Navy in 1945-46, and Monroney, who has been with the HRCA six years, served in 1946-47.

n School-reform skeptics book speakers Two charters receive By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com
A speaker series organized by two women concerned about Douglas County’s education reform movement launched June 18 with author Angela Engel. The series will bring public education proponents to Douglas County between now and the November school board election Douglas County residents Stephanie Fuhr and Amy DeValk founded Voices for Public Education to bring national voices to the area’s ongoing education debate, Fuhr said. Taxpayers for Public Education, among the plaintiffs suing the Douglas County School District for its voucher program, are sponsoring Voices for Public Education. Engel, a former Douglas County teacher, eter-spoke at Highlands Ranch’s Westridge Reconorreation Center about her concerns for the CEOfuture of public education. About 50 people, ectlymost of them Douglas County teachers, Worldcame to hear her speak. olini. In her book, “Seeds of Tomorrow: Solurificetions for Improving our Children’s Education,” Engel argues against high-stakes thetesting like the Transitional Colorado Asweensessment Program (TCAP) and for a child-yearcentered approach to education. y in She calls the No Child Left Behind Act of with2001, which links federal funding to standardized testing, a “corrupt and damaging radepolicy.” ctivi- “We’re starting to recognize high-stakes Thetesting is a huge mistake,” she said. “Stanuntildards are an adult construct. When we imclosepose our ways of learning and knowing, we rfor-rob (children) of discovering their own way of learning and knowing.” The act also requires states to provide highly qualified teachers to all students. That sets up teachers in poorer geographic areas to fail, as they try to hit high marks teaching students from disadvantaged socio-economic homes, Engel argues. “They now are going to be slammed as under-performing teachers,” she said. Engel believes the impetus for education reform stems from faulty research and

an inaccurate perception that the American education system is failing. Douglas County, she said, is “the test case” for education reform. “It’s important that we not assign blame but we really become aware of who the players are,” she said. “This is a battle that needs to be fought. It’s for our children. It’s not a Republican/Democrat issue. We just keep re-inventing the wheel; only the wheel keeps getting worse, and more expensive. “This reform movement is going to fail. It might take a long time. (But) there’s no evidence to support measuring learning improves education.” Education activist Peggy Robertson, next in the series, will speak at 6:30 p.m. July 8 at Parker’s Creekside Recreation Center.

Two elementary charter schools that focus on teaching foreign languages gained conditional approval June 18 to open their doors in Douglas County. The World Compass Academy, negotiating now for property in Castle Rock, plans to open for the 2014-15 school year. Global Village Academy, seeking land in northeast Douglas County for its fifth Colorado site, would follow a year later. The Douglas County School Board gave both conditional approval, and the schools still must meet several requirements — including enrollment of a minimum number of students and hiring principals — before getting a final nod. World Compass and Global Village were among six charters that submitted letters of intent to DCSD in March. The others — including John Adams High School, Parker Performing Arts School and Colorado Early Colleges high school — chose not to move forward this year or failed to meet district criteria, according to DCSD’s development and innovation officer, Pat McGraw. Students at Global Village Academy, which opened in Aurora in 2007, spend at least half of each day immersed in Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, French or German. Global Village opened a Northglenn campus two years ago, and this fall will open schools in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. Douglas County was a natural choice for its fifth campus, CEO Christina Howe said. “We have had up to 55 students coming from Parker to our Aurora campus and
there have been multiple-year requests to please open a school in Douglas County,” she said. “We do consider ourselves part of the portfolio of school choice the district is offering.” Howe said typical language programs teach students to “train and menu” proficiency levels, giving them enough mastery to travel by train or order from a menu in a foreign country. By eighth grade, Howe said, Global Village students’ foreign language skills are equivalent to a first-year high school student in the language’s native country. Global Village seeks land along the Interstate 25 corridor, likely on its east side. World Compass Academy, founded by a former Douglas County teacher, will include early foreign language education in French, Mandarin and Spanish and a research-based curriculum its website describes as challenging. Bethany Merkling taught at a charter school in Utah and at DCSD’s American Academy. Now a stay-at-home mom, Merkling said she found long waiting lists at area charter schools. “I wanted to make sure (my kids) had the opportunity to have the best education they possibly could, and to be able to learn a foreign language in kindergarten,” Merkling said. “I studied in France, and I’ve got some really strong ideas. I want to take the best from all the schools I attended.” World Compass board members include natives of Switzerland, Hong Kong and Thailand among others, bringing the international viewpoints Merkling sees as key to the school’s success. The school will serve pre-K through fourth grades upon its opening, adding a grade level annually to eventually become a K-8 school. To date, more than 200 parents have submitted intent-to-enroll forms for World Compass, Merkling said.

School board election gearing up Divisive changes fuel passion on all sides
‘Our education system in the county is really in danger.’
By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com More than four months in advance of the Douglas County School District board election, the buzz already is building. Four seats are up for grabs on the now reform-friendly, all-Republican board in November, including those held by John Carson, Doug Benevento, Carrie Mendoza and Meghann Silverthorn. Carson is termlimited and cannot run for re-election. Barbra Chase Burke of Roxborough, who is unaffiliated with any political party, has filed to run for the seat now occupied by Carson. Two candidates — Democrat Ronda Scholting and unaffiliated Nicholas Land — filed with the Secretary of State to upend Silverthorn. Silverthorn confirmed she intends to run again. Benevento and Mendoza haven’t yet put their intentions on the record. Regardless, the campaigning to either retain or replace current candidates is underway. Some of it in public. Much of it behind closed doors. The board’s efforts at education reform — including a voucher program, dissolution of the teachers’ union agreement and a pay-for-performance plan — have ignited controversy in the community. The Douglas County Republicans in February set up an education committee with a stated purpose to “recruit school board candidates” and create “strategy for school board election.” A second committee soon will begin interviewing potential board candidates. Former board candidate and DCSD spokeswoman Susan Meek, who is often critical of the board and district, recently announced she’ll devote her time to help candidates she supports get elected. A group called Voices for Public Education, sponsored by anti-schoolvoucher plaintiffs Taxpayers for Public Education, this month started a series of pro-public education speakers’ events slated to run between now and the election.

Firefighters were on scene within moments after the blaze began around 3 p.m., and they surrounded the perimeter quickly, providing structural protection as well. Mullin said firefighters went door to door, placing residents under pre-evacuation notice. No structures were burned in the fire. The Rampart helicopter circled the fire about a half-dozen times, drop-
Cindy Barnard, Taxpayers for Public Education president Another group, originally launched only as a Facebook page called DougCo Champions for Kids, is sponsoring a series of public meetings designed to share the school district’s viewpoints on various issues. “I think there is so much misinformation out there it’s having an effect on teacher morale,” said board supporter Franceen Thompson, a district captain with the Douglas County Republicans and volunteer with DougCo Champions for Kids. “If we can just get the facts out there, and get a better understanding of what’s going on, I think that will help.” Teachers’ union representatives are speaking at private house parties about ongoing DCSD issues and the upcoming election. “We talk about what’s happening,” said Brenda Smith, president of the Douglas County Federation teachers’ union. “We present the information. We talk about our survey, the decline and the culture of climate, the number of teachers that have actually left.” The words of people on both sides of the county’s education issues are serious and often dire in tone. “Our education system in the county is really in danger,” Taxpayers for Public Education president Cindy Barnard, a voucher opponent, said before author Angela Engel launched the Voices series June 18. “In Douglas County, due to our demographics, we are at ground zero for this experiment in public education.” “In my opinion, we can’t afford to lose a single seat. Not one,” Thompson said. Statements both accurate and false are broadcast in public meetings and on a variety of Facebook pages. During a recent Coffee for Conservatives meeting in Franktown, organizer Margo Knutson said the union and its affiliates plan to spend $8 million during the school board elections. Smith said that’s not accurate. “The answer is, I don’t know yet,”
she said. “But I think it’s going to be a very interesting election. “We are always looking for really good candidates. Teachers want a school board member that supports neighborhood schools.” Smith said board members often incorrectly point to the union as the cause of parent-led protests and meetings. The union’s long-standing collective bargaining agreement with the district expired in 2012. “That’s what sells and they think that’s what gives it negativity,” she said. “Union or not, you have a very large population of teachers that are dissatisfied with the direction of the school district. They have a really hard time accepting that fact.” Douglas County Republicans chairman Craig Steiner said he will make details about the group’s role in the election process public in about a month. Though most board candidates in past elections were Republicans, Steiner said, “We’re not just of one mind.” “The school board’s been doing a lot of good things over the last four years and those things are consistent with what we’d like to see happen in education,” he said. “We’d like to see a school board continue to do those things, and we’re looking for Republicans that are there to support the things the board is trying to do.” Advocates on both sides of the school district issues sometimes use the same phrases to explain their concerns. Meek is among many concerned with recent district decisions who said she wants to restore the parent voice to the conversation. Thompson, meanwhile, said the atmosphere in the school district has changed for the better under the current administration and board. “Now I think parents have more of a voice than they’ve ever had before,” she said.
ping retardant on the engulfed cottonwood trees, until the last of the fire was out. The cause of the fire is under investigation at this time, but Mullin cautioned that people take extra precautions due to the dry conditions and with July 4 coming up. “We are going to be over-staffed for July 4,” he said. On June 21, the county switched from Stage 1 to Stage 2 fire restrictions, which prohibit the use of personal and professional fireworks; open burning of any kind; use of fires in chimineas, other portable fires or patio fire pits; or campfires at developed campgrounds
or picnic areas. Allowable activities are limited to the use of personal charcoal and gas grills, liquid- or gas-fueled fire pits or other gas- or liquid-fueled appliances. Because of the Stage 2 fire restrictions, the Highlands Ranch Community Association has postponed its fireworks show until this fall’s Oktoberfest. Violation of any of the fire restrictions is considered a Class 2 petty offense and is punishable by up to a $1,000 fine. More information on fire restriction stages can be located at www. douglas.co.us.

Real Estate Breakfast is eye-opener Panelists see market revival in south metro Denver area By Jane Reuter

Panelists at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce’s 18th annual Real eallyEstate Breakfast forecast a happy future for nt athose in the industry, as well as home sellers portsand the overall south suburban economy. “Clearly, the real estate market is recovof-ering and strengthening, the residential on asmarket particularly,” Sterling Ranch prinandcipal Harold Smethills told an audience of dingabout 500 gathered June 20 at Lone Tree’s withMarriott Denver South. South Metro Denver Realtor Association hinkchairwoman Jo Pellegrino Ellis ticked off a shelist of positive metro-area housing statisverytics, which showed from May 2012 to May t are2013 new listings increased by 21.8 percent, f thesales by 22.5 percent, median home prices hardby 8 percent, and the days of buyers pitching successful low-ball offers are ending. cans “Total days on the market are down willabout 38 percent (to) about 47 days,” Ellis ole insaid, adding the average changes with loboutcation. “Some places in Highlands Ranch, andi-they’re on the market for a number of pub-hours.” st of Everitt Real Estate Center director Eric Holsapple echoed some of Smethills’ and oingEllis’ optimism, noting that 60,000 new jobs fourare expected in Colorado in the next year. stentThe bad news? en in “People are making less money,” Hol-

Housing starts are up, but only about 50 percent of where we were in 2006-07.” Holsapple and Ellis both said the anticipated rise in interest rates isn’t cause for fear, particularly for real estate agents. “When interest rates start to creep up a little bit, buyers really jump on the market,” Ellis said. A lack of temporary housing is creating roadblocks for some potential sellers, she said.

“If my house sells in two days, will I have a place to go?” Ellis said. “Temporary housing, six-month leases, now even those are hard to find.” Smethills said the demand for types of housing is changing, however. The Millennials, also known as Generation Y and the echo boomers, are in their prime real es-
tate buying years, with many singles seeking smaller housing units, while aging baby boomers want homes with main-floor master bedrooms. Meanwhile, a rise in multigenerational housing requires yet another housing type, he said. “All of this winds up making a large amount of our (existing) real estate obsolete,” Smethills said. The availability of industrial space in the south metro area is tightening as more businesses move in, Industrial Property Group vice president Jeremy Ballenger said. “These groups are looking for workforce and quality of life,” he said. “That’s why they’re coming here.” Smethills advised companies looking for commercial property to carefully consider location. “Having your commercial/industrial next to a robust, multi-level-price point housing market is very important,” he said. “Many people want to live close to work. They don’t want to commute.” Ongoing and approved construction in the south metro area further supports the panelists’ good-news statements. In Lone Tree alone, the city has so far in 2013 approved $200 million in building permits; that figure stood at $177.4 million in 2012. Both annual tallies represented a fourfold increase from the five preceding years.

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

Letter to the editor Real tragedy is what’s being done to schools
Regarding the June 14 article, “Protesters picket school fundraiser”: Comments by Douglas County School District officials regarding demonstrating parents couldn’t have been more hypocritical. Doug Benevento (school board member) and Cinamon Watson (DCSD spokeswoman and Douglas County Educational Foundation executive director) criticize parents for “politicizing” this event. Yet they and their colleagues had already politicized the event by inviting Colorado Rep. Frank McNulty to speak. They have put politics front and center in the district in recent years, bringing politicians like Ted Harvey and Chris Holbert into board meetings, with Holbert actually stated during one public meeting, “I’m here to remind you and thank you for allowing politics to be part of what you do in this district.” Mr. Benevento and Ms. Watson also call this effort by parents to make their voices heard “in poor taste,” “abysmal,” “over the line” and “tragic.” On the contrary, what’s really in poor taste is turning school board
Highlands Ranch Herald
meetings into political showcases in which parents and taxpayers who express concerns about the district are belittled and mocked. What’s really abysmal is cutting high school class time by over 10 hours per 1.0 credit class, when the money was there and the staff cuts weren’t required. This results in a truly tragic, minimum loss of over 240 hours of instructional time over a student’s high school years. What’s really over the line is the district’s refusal to listen to parents, answer simple questions about the contractual relationship with event organizers, and actually provide the transparency that they continue to boast about. What’s really tragic is the increased rates at which good teachers are leaving this district for others that treat them with respect. What’s happening to our school district under their leadership is tragic, and we parents are simply doing what we can to bring attention to the situation. Connie Davison Highlands Ranch

I don’t know about you, but I am fed up with all the trumped-up attacks on Douglas County public schools by the AFL-CIO, ACLU and the cottage industry of prounion attack groups that have sprouted up across our community. When you read all the press accounts of it, you can’t help but wonder: Do Douglas County Schools belong to us, or to liberal special-interest groups like the ACLU and the AFL-CIO? Dougco schools are the national leader in public school innovation. While too many other school systems accept the all-too-mediocre status quo, we don’t. Not here. Our schools are the best in the nation. And it isn’t by accident. Our schools are world-class because of great teachers, great students, great parents and bold reform initiatives undertaken by our school board and superintendent. Unfortunately, liberal groups like the AFL-CIO and ACLU have fought reform here in Douglas County over the last several years at every step of the way. The ACLU sued to stop our school choice program. And the local affiliate of the AFL-CIO has harassed and harangued and badgered and bullied this district every time the school district turns on the lights. They call lots of press conferences; they file lots of frivolous lawsuits and record re-
quests; the union operatives do just about everything except promote good schools in Douglas County. I’m fed up. People often ask, why is the union always red-in-the-face mad at the Dougco school board and administration? And the answer is pretty simple — follow the money. Sure, the local education union hates bold reforms like performance pay, charters and scholarships. But the real reason the union is so viscerally opposed to the direction of this district is because its leaders did something that no other district in Colorado has — Dougco turned off the union money spigot. For 15 years, this school district had a sweetheart handshake deal with the union, under which classroom dollars were used to pay union salaries and travel expenses. Millions of dollars, in all, wasted on union fleecing. Imagine that: Classroom dollars
that could have been used to reduce class size or pay for school supplies, they went to union salaries and union trips instead. The local union, of course, was also skimming millions of dollars from teachers’ salaries and dumping the bulk of it into Democratic political campaigns. Well, last year the Douglas County school board and administration said no more. Not again. Dougco money will stay in teachers’ pockets, not campaign coffers; our classroom dollars will be spent in classrooms, not on big-dollar union salaries. This, of course, has the union hopping mad. And they are spreading all sorts of untrue nonsense. Why? They are bullying until they get their money back. The latest bogus charge of these liberal attack groups — that teachers are fleeing school districts en masse. Recently, a small handful of union teachers did in fact stage a “walkout”; the small group staged a protest to announce that were leaving, most to accept union jobs in neighboring districts. But even with this small, union-orchestrated walkout, Douglas County Schools has a teacher retention rate that beats the statewide average, according to the Colorado Department of Education. Union-friendly districts like Denver and Aspen schools have a much higher teacher
turnover rate than Dougco. Douglas County’s teacher retention rate is roughly the same as Cherry Creek Schools. And speaking of stubborn facts, there is one more fact that needs to be highlighted for all the union cronies busy trash-talking our school system — and that is that Douglas County is one of the best school districts in America. That is the big truth. Since our new school board and superintendent have taken over, our dropout rate has plummeted. This year, our ACT scores beat the statewide average by a full two points. Our graduation rate beats the national average by 10 points, and beats Colorado’s graduation rate by 12 points. One national analysis showed that Dougco is the top-ranked large school district in the state of Colorado — better than Denver, better than Boulder, better than Littleton, Jefferson County and even Cherry Creek. Those are the facts. And we want the state of Colorado to know. What we have in the Douglas County School District is special — that’s the truth that no big union lie can obscure. Randy Reed, a local business owner, runs the Douglas County Education Alliance, an organization promoting public school innovation in Douglas County.
‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is about accountability
Probably one of the most recognized, overused, and abused break-up lines of all time, “It’s not you, it’s me.” For all of the Seinfeld fans out there, you will recall that in one episode Jason Alexander’s character, George Costanza, actually claimed that he invented this break-up maneuver when one of his love interests used the very same line on him when trying to end the relationship. And I know that many people still use this line hich or tactic to end relationships or let others ndown easy, or maybe both. d I like the line for a different reason. Forgetting the overused and abused relationh ship and break-up analogy for a moment, 1.0 how often have we used the very same line e when deflecting blame for something we is have done or have not done? Do we take of accountability and own it, “It’s not you, er a it’s me?” Or do we reverse it and place the problem squarely on someone else, “It’s not me, it’s you?” er I much prefer the original version, “It’s l not you, it’s me.” Personal accountability is d the first rung on the ladder of success. And they it is not just when something has gone horribly wrong or where there is an opporturates nity to place or accept blame, it is also true diswhen given an opportunity or challenge to pect. tackle a big project or task. Strong leaders trict use this tactic all the time. And they use it e in a couple of ways, one to lead by example to
vison anch
and the other to give a team member a chance to step up and demonstrate a competency or capability. In the example of leading by example or leading from the front, a good manager or leader may recognize that there is an opportunity for a teaching moment and they jump in and say, “Wait a minute, it’s not your turn yet, let me demonstrate this for you one more time, OK?” And then they show their employee or team member the proper way to execute a specific job or function. Especially when there could be a safety concern. And conversely, the employee may feel that they are ready to demonstrate their readiness and capabilities and use the very same line, “I’ve got this boss, it’s not you, it’s my turn.” And so the strong leader allows their team member to try. This is another teaching moment, just moving from the “doing”
of everything for everyone, to “giving” an opportunity to learn and grow. But even if we do reverse it, “It’s not me, it’s you,” this too can be used when a coach or leader calls upon an employee or team member to step up because they know that they are ready to give something a shot. “It’s not me this time, it’s you, it’s a big project but I am confident you can handle it.” Both situations allow for growth, ownership, success, and building a solid foundation to build upon. It’s only in times of blame or difficulties when we reverse the line and fall back
on the comfortable crutch of “It’s not me, it’s you,” that we stifle growth in ourselves and others as we deflect ownership and accountability. How have you used the line? Is it you? Or is it someone else? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and let’s make this a better than good week.

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

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

2,159 – building searches 708 – officer protection deployments 405 – assists on arrests 67,833 – grams of marijuana located 194 – grams of hard drugs located 342 – discoveries of drug paraphernalia $33,294 – in cash found one of his dogs wounded by gunfire in the past. While the sheriff’s department funds many of the necessary items for the dogs, the foundation formed in 2011 to help take care of other costs, such as the purchase of bulletproof vests and the continuation of veterinary care for the retired dogs. “We saw a need to help replace the dogs that were retiring, to help care for the retired dogs and that the dogs need equipment,” said veterinarian David Swieckowski, who has been caring for the county’s dogs at the Franktown Animal Clinic for 17 years. In the past two years, the foundation has raised close to $176,000 to help the Douglas County K-9
Unit attend outside trainings with some of the world’s top trainers; purchase training equipment, supplies and veterinary care; and purchase Zoos, Doc and the third-newest member of the unit, Tank. In addition to the important police work the dogs do, Deputy Paul Montville said the most important aspect of their jobs is “their ability to be ice breakers and act like a go-between” between the officers and the public at events such as the barbecue, where the officers and their dogs put on a full demonstration and fielded questions about what it is like in the field, living with their dogs and more. The county’s K-9 unit, established in 1989, is used primarily for narcotics work as well as some patrol work, helping deputies locate and catch suspects. “We are on call 24 hours, seven days a week,” Black said. “We’re basically paid chauffeurs. When that call comes in at 4 a.m. they don’t care about us, just the dogs.” If interested in donating to the Friends of Douglas County K-9 Foundation or learning more about the unit or foundation, please visit www.K9friends.org.

By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com A variety of entities have joined forces to discuss the future of the Chatfield watershed region, which runs from Chatfield Reservoir to Douglas County’s southern border, and they want everyone to weigh in. “We need to look at the watershed now to protect it in the future,” said Amy King of Tetra Tech, the consulting company working with the Chatfield Watershed Authority, during a June 19 public meeting. CWA was established in 1984 by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in an effort to protect water quality. “We believe it’s essential to have residents and local businesses involved with industry professionals to share vital information about the watersheds we serve to protect and be part of the solution to improve water quality and overall health of the watershed,” Julie Vlier, CWA’s water manager, said in a press release. “Some great ideas are being generated by the public to improve water quality and protect the water resources important to the public while providing multiple benefits to recreational users, wildlife and the ecosystem.” Member agencies include the Audubon
Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield has plans to start a native seed bank to preserve plants and trees indigineous to the Chatfield watershed region. Photo by Jennifer Smith Society, Denver Water, a variety of water and sanitation districts, several municipalities, the Denver Urban Water Partnership and many more. DUWP concerns itself with the entire South Platte River corridor, including the Barr-Milton watershed, which serves everything north of the reservoir nearly to Greeley. King said discussion so far has focused on things like stream restoration and miti-
gating the effects of wildfire — coincidentally, as she was speaking, the Lime Gulch fire raged just a few miles from Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, where the meeting was held. Vlier explains that most pollutants are from things like deteriorating septic systems, streambank and shoreline erosion, runoff from wildfire burn areas, and livestock-management practices along envi-
ronmentally sensitive stream corridors. Larry Vickerman, director of the botanic gardens, said his particular focus is on restoration of Deer Creek, which runs through the property. “If you really look at Deer Creek, especially through Chatfield, it’s severely degraded,” he said. He has plans for a native seed garden, to preserve plant and tree species indigenous to the region. Non-native species are taking hold and overrunning the ecosystems, he said. “Restoration starts with having the plant material,” he said. Vlier said the authority wants to develop partnerships with local businesses and nonprofits like the botanic gardens to expand public outreach. “We are very encouraged by the public interest and look forward to putting watershed objectives into action plans,” she said.

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

Bluffs loved by developers, residents Lone Tree says view corridors near new housing are preserved By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcolorado news.com Acres Green resident Paul Veal and his two dogs walk the trails in and around Lone Tree’s Bluffs Regional Park through sun, snow, thunderstorms and, of late, construction. Lots of construction. RidgeGate’s west side is nearing completion with a roar of activity, most of it along the bluffs Veal and others hold precious. Cabela’s and the commercial sites that adjoin it, the Montecito and NorthSky neighborhoods all are under construction along the bluffs. To make way for the projects and stabilize the land, developers on the three adjacent sites cut into the hillsides. City officials said developers can only build to specific heights, a restriction designed to preserve view corridors. But to Veal, the views already are spoiled. “They completely destroyed the mountain behind the (Lone Tree) rec center for the homes, and the bluff on the other side to put Cabela’s there,” he said. “I’m not an environmentalist. But at the same time, I’m vested in that walk up there and the wildlife. When’s it going to stop?” Veal fears the impact on the animals he sees there, which include lizards, deer and in May, a mountain lion. “Every time I go up there, I see something new,” he said. I think those animals are going to split. I think it’s going to take a lot away from what people are seeing and finding up there.” City officials say development won’t extend much farther up the bluffs than it already has. The work they did to keep the visual impacts as minimal as possible was painstaking and detailed, including photo simulations that showed Montecito rooftops stopping about halfway up the bluffs, Lone Tree Community Development Director Steve Hebert said. The 2000 city vote to annex the RidgeGate property was fueled in large part by a desire to protect the bluffs. The 250-acre Bluffs Regional Park is a Douglas County open space. Its loop
trail includes connections to the East-West Regional Trail, South Suburban Parks and Recreation and Highlands Ranch trail systems. But, Hebert noted, “There is such a thing as private property rights. Coventry for many years worked with the county to get development rights up and around the bluffs, along the bluffs and below the bluffs.” Because those rights are in place, Lone Tree can’t stop development. Like Veal, Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet is a frequent bluffs visitor. “I appreciate the concerns and I share the concern,” said Millet, who walks the bluffs trails about five times a week. “But I think precautions were taken to respect the rights of the developer but preserve that natural beauty of our community.” RidgeGate developers did not return calls requesting comment. NorthSky, a 33-home development that recently broke ground on Crossington Way, isn’t the last bluffs development. Another nearly 50-home development is depicted on RidgeGate documents in the ravine south of Cabela’s and west of the East-West Regional Trail. While those homes won’t be as visible as Montecito or NorthSky, they will change the experience for trail users. “The city will obviously make sure these homes will be aesthetically attractive with good buffer areas,” Millet said. RidgeGate’s property includes another parcel, with space for about 10 large homes, east of McArthur Ranch. Access and infrastructure to those bluff-top sites hasn’t been determined, Millet said. Those homes might be visible from McArthur Ranch, but not from Lone Tree, she said. The bluffs were a selling point for Charles Schwab in its decision to build a corporate campus in Lone Tree, as well as the Hampden Inn, Millet said. Cabela’s already touts the county’s East-West Trail among the amenities of its soon-to-open RidgeGate Parkway store. “The bluffs are the most well-loved, treasured place in the Lone Tree community,” Millet said. “I would say majority of our residents spend part of their week up there. It’s very important to me and all of council to make sure it’s protected.”

Teams battle it out during the bucket brigade, the last activity before their graduation from the four-day Kids Mini Fire Academy.
Kids fired up for mini academy Littleton department shares lessons on safety, teamwork By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com They learn about smoke, they learn about fire, they learn about safety and buckets and hoses. But most of all, they learn about teamwork. “Every step of the way, your crew member is backing you up,”
Littleton firefighter Lindsey Miller told the group of kids who were excitedly answering his questions in exchange for small treats. The occasion was the Littleton Fire Rescue Mini Fire Academy at the department’s training facility, open to all kids who live within LFR’s coverage area. They learn about bike safety, how and when to call 911, basic first aid and much more. “Our goal is to teach safety, and to give kids a glimpse of what it’s like to be a firefighter,” said Katie Moore, LFR’s life-safety educator.
Firefighters help kids cool off after a fun day running drills at the Littleton/Englewood Metro Fire Training Center. Photos by Jennifer Smith Some of the kids learned a little about themselves, as well. Ryan, for example, at first wanted absolutely nothing to do with climbing the fire-escape stairs to the second floor of the burn tower. But firefighter Mark Rogers coaxed him into it, promising to be there every step of the way. “I felt like, wow, that wasn’t as scary as I thought,” said Ryan after returning to the ground unscathed. Carly said the combat challenge was her favorite part. It entailed hauling a hose, swinging a plastic axe, climbing the stairs, and more tasks a firefighter might have to do in a day. Carly’s best time was 1 minute, 26 seconds.
“I feel like you just get really energetic and stuff,” she said. A popular attraction was LFR’s new Engine 11, the snazziest fire truck in the fleet. It boasts a number of enhanced safety features and carries 650 gallons of water and 40 gallons of foam. The water and foam mix in its hose, making it much lighter to carry than a hose full of just water. Firefighter Eric Hovart, who played chauffeur for the kids, said Engine 11 tops out at 68 mph, and the emissions are so clean you could breathe out of the tailpipe. Engine 11 also has a siren and an air horn, and they are very loud. The children really, really liked stepping on the buttons that
set them off. At the end of the busy day, a shower under the fire hose cooled the kids off, and there was plenty of splashing during the bucketbrigade competition, as well. “We do it two times a summer, and they’re my favorite two weeks of the year,” said Moore. “I love going into the schools too, but here we get to see their personalities and watch them learn and grow throughout the week.” The next session is July 14-17. It’s full already, but there’s a waiting list. For more information, contact Moore at 303-795-3833 or lfrkm@ littletongov.org.

Coral gets collaborative Crochet project on display in ‘Spun’ exhibit at DAM By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Spun,” the textile-focused menu of exhibits at the Denver Art Museum, includes the Institute For Figuring’s charming, mostly colorful, Crochet Coral Reef Project. The little sculptural clusters are displayed on pedestals in both the Hamilton and the North buildings, leading the way from one gallery to the next. Sisters Christine and Margaret Wertheim, who grew up in Australia, conscious of the coral reefs along the coast and concerned about their fragility, started the IFF in 2005. The organization is now located in Los Angeles. The IFF has about 40 contributors worldwide and has helped to raise concern about these endangered organisms. The Wertheims have crocheted about half of the pieces themselves and curated the collection as it grew. See how many cases you can locate throughout the museum. Look for the tiny critters that inhabit the reefs. The inspiration came from “hyperbolic crochet,” discovered in 1997 by Cornell
if you go The Crochet Coral Reef Project will be exhibited at the Denver Art Museum through Sept. 21, with the rest of the SPUN exhibits. See denverartmuseum.org for more information. Covered by general admission.
University mathematician Daina Taimina, according to the IFF website. The Wertheim sisters adopted Taimina’s techniques and elaborated on them “to develop a whole taxonomy of reef-life forms.” Loopy “kelps,” fringed “anemones,” crenelated “sea slugs” and curlicued “corals” have all been modeled with these methods.” Jenna Madison of the DAM Education Department said this is the largest collaborative art project in the world. It has been exhibited in many venues. “It came on our radar screen and we thought, wouldn’t it be great to have it here for SPUN,” Madison said. “So emails and calls went back and forth, as arrangements fell into place. Including this very contemporary work seems especially appropriate, especially since local crafters are now involved.” She said that Christine Wertheim has a fine arts background and Margaret is a scientist. A standard ingredient in the crocheted Coral Reef exhibits is a Satellite Coral Reef
by local artists, and Denver’s version is underway in a special space where local craftsmen appear on Saturdays and Sundays to add to the project. It will grow through the summer. Christine Wertheim came to Denver to train the educational department and other area artists so they could, in turn, help the community crocheters get started. “It’s growing beautifully,” Madison said. People also work at home and bring in pieces. “It’s open to anyone.” It will be arranged and rearranged as more pieces come in. When the show closes in late September, the Satellite Coral Reef will be harvested and pieces given to museum visitors. Note especially the bleached coral in the lobby of the Hamilton Building, a collective work by many IFF contributors, crocheted in white and off-white yarns to illustrate what happens to coral under environmental stress. The color in coral comes from tiny microorganisms, zooanthellae, that live within the polyps. When environmental toxins or rising water temperatures stress corals, the polyps expel the zooanthellae, which they need for long-term survival. In August, the local Ladies Handiwork Society will be creating a garden in the North Building complete with critters and surprise moments.
field day brings out the kid in seniors Fitness, food, fun on tap at gathering By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com Bocce, banjo picking, Zumba and more gave good reason for local seniors to gather at Northridge Park for the first Highlands Ranch Senior Adult Field Day. The June 18 get-out-andplay day for seniors, hosted by the Highlands Ranch Seniors Programs Triad, offered fitness demonstrations, food vendors and information booths from local service providers. “I think for our first event, it was very good,” said Jodie McCann, senior services coordinator for the Highlands Ranch Metro District. “We had about 45 to 50 come out, and I think we’ll be even bigger and better next year.” “It’s nice to let them know they can come outdoors, be active, and while doing that, have fun and learn things from our
Seniors, including Rita Schoenmaker, 84, foreground, join a Zumba Gold demonstration during the Senior Adult Field Day. Courtesy photo by Highlands Ranch Metro District sponsors and vendors, as well as get the chance to meet others in the senior community on a great day in one of our great parks.” The senior programs triad — made up of the Highlands Ranch Community Association, Metro District and Senior Club — is in place to combine strengths and services of each
of the organizations and help build a strong senior community in Highlands Ranch. As McCann pointed out, there’s a lot to do for younger families in the area, so the triad is trying to come up with more for the senior population to do. “I’m going to tell all my friends about it. I have a feeling that they don’t know,” said
Jim Schoenmaker, 78, who attended the event with his wife Rita, 84. “I had no idea what to expect, but it was wonderful,” Rita added. “We participated in all the events, the demonstrations were great, and the weather was also perfect.” One of the highlights for Jim Schoenmaker was shaking hands with Houston Texans and former Denver Broncos offensive tackle Ryan Harris, who donated 25 free box lunches, while providing free lemonade and water throughout the morning. While attendees enjoyed their complimentary lunches from Harris’ Inverness-based Harris Home Health, as well as a handful of local vendors, they chatted it up and tapped their feet to the sounds of the Mile High Banjo Society.

Cherry Hills Country Club General Manager Kevin Hood, who saved a man’s life earlier this year, recently received the Metropolitan Golf Writers Association’s Mary Bea Porter Award. The honor was bestowed at the MGWA’s 62nd national awards dinner June 18 in Tarrytown, N.Y. Hood was honored for saving the life of Cherry Hills member John Moore. Responding to a “code blue” call on Jan. 29, Hood administered CPR to the 87-year-old Moore, who had fallen and hit his head, causing his tongue to block his airway. Hood performed chest compressions and other life-saving measures. After a 10-day hospital stay, Moore recovered and returned to Cherry Hills to enjoy his club membership. Colorado Avid Golfer magazine first reported the news. The award is named for Mary Bea Porter, a former LPGA Tour pro who left the course in the middle of a qualifying round of the 1988 Samaritan Turquoise Classic in Phoenix to save a drowning 3-year-old boy at a home adjacent to a fairway. Hood, 52, is in his eighth year at Cherry Hills. He was a starting linebacker at the University of Colorado and former pro football player with the Denver Gold of the USFL.

Peak 7 Vodka a big hit
Denver’s own Peak 7 Vodka made a splash recently into the Colorado microspirits market. The seven-time distilled Peak 7, made at Mile High Distillery, comes onto the scene on the heels of a medalwinning performance at the 2013 Denver International Spirits Contest March 2 and 3. Twelve prominent spirits professionals judged the double-blind tasting, and Peak 7 Vodka was awarded a bronze for best vodka. “We are Colorado people who want to make a vodka that reflects the culture and vibrancy of Denver and the Rocky Mountains,” said Peak 7 co-founder Dave Collier. “We think Colorado’s the best place on earth you can live, and the best place on earth to make great vodka.” Peak 7 Vodka is currently available at Mondo Vino in Denver’s Highland neighborhood, and at Fort Collins eateries Parker continues on Page 24

Youngsters learn filmmaking basics By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com A group of 9- to 12-year-olds learned some basics about filmmaking in a class at Highlands Ranch Eastridge Recreation Center in June, and enrollment is open for a July session with teacher Julie Pearson. The kids shot a film about aliens and spaceships hurtling through space. Parson said some of her students from last year “have started their own YouTube channel and are reviewing movies, posting short films they made and add-
ing links to other sites young filmmakers might find helpful.” The next session is scheduled from July 1 to 31, also for ages 9 to 12 — and will run from 1 to 4 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Tuition is $300 (former students get 10 percent off). Register at hrcaonline.org — Movie Making Camp #461012.

Austin’s American Grill, The Moot House and Enzio’s Italian Kitchen. “All things being equal, there are a lot of people who would rather buy locally made spirits,” Peak 7 co-founder Desi Lopez said. “We’re delivering that high-end quality that people have come to expect from some of the major European brands, but we’re doing it with vodka made right here in our home city.” For more about Peak 7 Vodka, go to www.peak7vodka.com.
Help film society go digital
The Denver Film Society wants to step over the line. No, they don’t want to start showing triple-X movies. Rather “the line” represents the $150,000 fundraising goal to buy four new digital film projectors — as Hollywood
transitions to an all-digital format — for the DFS’ Sie FilmCenter, The Ellie Caulkins (home of the Starz Denver Film Festival) and Red Rocks for the Film on the Rocks summer series. The total amount needed is $300,000 for the projectors for the Sie Film Center and Red Rocks Amphitheatre. To spur cash donations, DFS honcho Britta “The Jesus” Erickson stars in a three-minute promotional video spoofing the John Turturro role in the 1998 cult film “The Big Lebowski” with supporting actors stand-up comedian Chuck Roy and Will Morris, a manager at the Sie FilmCenter. Erickson, complete with bowling shoes and a hairnet, licks the red bowling ball and bowls what looks like a guaranteed gutter ball, but the scene is cut before the ball reaches its destination. Meanwhile Roy and Morris drink beer, look on and hurl comments such as “you crossed the line!” That’s the whole idea. The DFS donation website — www. kickstarter.com/projects/1728212872/ secure-the-future-of-the-denver-filmsociety?ref=live — will remain live through
Dreaming of a Good Summer Read?
June 28. With eight days to go, more than $84,000 was pledged. If you donate a minimum of $25 and the DFS reaches its $150,000 goal, backers will be treated to a special screening of “The Big Lebowski” on July 31 at Red Rocks.
Die laughing
Dave Chappelle, Flight of the Conchords, Demetri Martin, Kristen Schaal, Hannibal Buress and others will headline FunnyorDie.com’s Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival tour stop on Sept. 13 at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre in Greenwood Village. The Colorado stop is one of 13 dates on the five-week comedy tour that starts Aug. 23 in Austin. FunnyorDie.com was launched in 2007 by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. It quickly became a hit thanks to the video “The Landlord,” which starred McKay’s 2-yearold daughter, Pearl, who plays a cursing landlord trying to get rent money from Ferrell’s character. “We always love to push the comedy boundaries at Funny or Die and this festival will do just that,” said Dick Glover, CEO of Funny or Die. “It’s the perfect blend of comedy and crazy that will for sure resonate with comedy fans looking for a one-of-a-kind experience.” Doors to the show open at 5 p.m. Tickets are on sale starting at 10 a.m. Friday at www.livenation.com or www.funnyordie. com/oddball. A video announcing the tour is live on Funny or Die at www.funnyordie. com/oddball. For VIP box seats call 303837-1024.
Local laughs
Local jokester and Comedy Works regular Phil Palisoul snagged first place at the 2013 Great American Comedy Festival recently in Norfolk, Neb. Palisoul, a Denver native, beat out eight
Used Book Sale
other professional comedians in the finals to take home the top trophy. The Great American Comedy Festival is a four-day event honoring Norfolk native Johnny Carson. The event features some of the best amateur and professional comedians from across the country. Ironically, Palisoul tried to get on the “Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” early in the Denver comedian’s career. “And when I wasn’t able to get on the show, I was really disappointed. So, to be able to come here and do this well in a festival for his name and honor is ... it’s overwhelming really,” Palisoul told comedy. broadwayworld.com. Palisoul’s prize was $1,000. Read more about Palisoul’s victory at www.bit.ly/140oIjP. Winners were picked by comedy club managers who judged the comedians on material, audience reaction and poise. You can catch the Denver winner’s act at 7:30 p.m. July 9 during Comedy Night @ West Woods at West Woods Bar & Grill, 6655 Quaker St., Arvada. Tickets are available at www.Eventbrite.com (keyword: West Woods). Tickets are $12 and there is a two-drink minimum for those who do not have dinner at the restaurant before the show. The show is hosted by nationally touring comic Bob Meddles and is produced by Slap Happy Entertainment.

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com From Littleton to Stanford to “Miami Vice” to Alcatraz is not the usual route to becoming an author living in Los Angeles, but it worked for Daniel Pyne. “I never expected to be successful,” he said while in town visiting his sister, Susan Pyne, on June 20. “I did everything I needed to do to be successful, but if I wasn’t, I would have still done it all.” Pyne In his case, “all” is a lot. Pyne, the son of Charles and Barbara Pyne, got his dramatic start on the stage of Arapahoe High School as a sixth-grader at East Elementary School. He played Wilbur in “Inherit the Wind.” “It was the beginning and end of my act-
ing career,” he said. “The whole reason I write is to be behind the camera.” He went on to Euclid Middle School and graduated from Littleton High School in 1973. “I had kind of a love/hate relationship with Littleton,” he said. During his visit, he took a trip down memory lane, otherwise known as Broadway. “There’s this weird ghostly overlay of what used to be there, and yet a lot of it looks nothing like I remember,” he said. “But in a way, it was great preparation for what I do. It exposed me to a combination of a classic, conservative Midwestern world and a kind of more modern, suburban, urban experience. I feel like it bridged this gap of old America and new America.” As a kid, he wrote for the school paper and dabbled in cartoons, but prose remained his first love. “I loved putting words together,” he said. “Writing, for me, was more than just storytelling. … I love the lyrical part of writing.” He recalls one Mr. Pickering, AP English teacher, as being the first person to encourage him to pursue writing. But his father, a sculptor, was skeptical.

“As a struggling artist, my dad didn’t want me to go into art,” said Pyne. “He didn’t know anything about economics, so to him that sounded like a practical field.” So off to Stanford he went with a compromise — he studied economics and creative writing. He graduated in three years and set off to find his true calling. At one point he thought he could make money writing by being a reporter. “I was a terrible reporter,” he said. “I only liked the writing part, so I was tempted to make stuff up.” Next he tried selling his short stories, without much success. Next up: film school. “I thought maybe I could write movies to support myself while I got to be a better writer,” he said. “But it wasn’t like cocktail waitressing. It wasn’t just something to do while you’re waiting for something else.” So he headed for L.A., where he realized not everyone has the same “boom or bust” mentality as Coloradans. “Other people think sequentially,” he said. “They think you build a career rather than just have one.” He found work as a story editor on the “Matt Houston” series in 1983. His next gig

He worked on several more crime shows and films, his favorite genre, as evidenced by his three novels. “Everything is a mystery,” he said. “I’m really interested in the struggle for identity.” That interest comes from Littleton, as well. He recalls living in his nice, happy suburban home but noticing the couple in the duplex down the street who were always fighting. “I was always looking for those weird perversions of the dream,” he said.

7-on-7 helps tune up teams Chaparral, Vista both seeking starting QBs for next season By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Summer 7-on-7 scrimmages are a little like reality television shows with unscripted situations and events. The touch football competition using quarterbacks, receivers, linebackers and defensive backs doesn’t reflect the reality of a real football game, but the competitive venues help players to sharpen throws, refine passing routes and polish coverage techniques. “This is where everybody gets to see their mistakes,” said Chaparral quarterback Kyle Gallup. “What we take from here, we take back to school, work on it and fit it for August when practice starts. We can’t have the mistakes we have out here when it comes to game time because there is no forgiveness then.” Chaparral and Mountain Vista were two of the 64 teams from all classifications that participated in the annual Denver Broncos 7-on-7 tournament June 19-22 at All-City Stadium and Dove Valley. Both Continental League teams are seeking a starting quarterback for next season. Gallup and Cole Lehman, both juniors, are the leading contenders to replace Chaparral quarterback Max Kuhns, who threw for 2,401 yards and 25 touchdowns with a .654 completion percentage last season. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Gallup has more experience. He has logged 20 games on the junior varsity teams the past two seasons and was Kuhns’ backup during the 2012 campaign. He played in five varsity games, completed five of nine passes for 109 yards and was the Wolverines’ quarterback last summer in 7-on-7 games because of Kuhns’ baseball commitments. Lehman, 6-1, 170 pounds, has seen JV action. “Max was a great quarterback and a guy we both looked up to,” said Gallup. “I got to see last season how different the varsity is from JV and the speed change. I feel like I’m ready to play. We have battles going on for all positions and there is still a lot of learn before the season starts. This is just helping us along the way.” Gallup knows that success in 7-on-7 games doesn’t translate to games once the high school season begins. In 7-on-7 competition, there are no big linemen or blitzing linebackers putting pressure on the quarterback, and receivers don’t worry about holding onto the ball after absorbing a hard hit. The only stress is to get the pass off in four seconds or 4.5 seconds if it is a rollout pass. “The pressure isn’t the same,” admitted Gallup. “The pressure on the quarterback and people that get the ball isn’t the same. It’s a lot calmer, you have time. It is really good for quarterbacks and receivers recog-

Photos by Tom Munds nizing coverages, seeing how well you go against one-on-ones and how we throw the ball against a regular defense.” In five games in the Broncos tournament, Gallup threw 19 touchdowns passes and Lehman had eight scoring throws. Brandon Malone, Chaparral’s premier basketball player who was a big-play receiver last season, averaging 18.1 yards per catch, hauled in many of those TD pitches. Chaparral advanced to the 16-team single-elimination finals June 22 and beat Brighton before losing to Discovery Canyon when a potential Wolverines winning pass was dropped in the end zone with three seconds remaining. “Both quarterbacks are going to be good,” said Malone. “You can’t doubt your quarterback. Chaparral coach John Vogt likes what he has seen. “We’re about where we are every year,” he said. “Two years ago Max was new. Last year Kyle did it all because Max was playing baseball in the summer. He has experience and he’s going to be fine. Cole has had JV experience. He’s been a late bloomer. He’s one of those kids that is developing. “We’ve had some receivers step up. Brandon Malone is what he is and the other kids have stepped up. Nolan Ellis, Mitch Ross and those guys have been good. The kids know what to do and they make plays. There have been a lot of good guys come before them, so that is kind of the expectation. That’s a program deal.” Mountain Vista quarterback Ryan Rubley, who passed for 1,681 yards last season, has graduated and will continue play-

ing at the University of Tulsa, so the Golden Eagles are looking for the next starting quarterback with senior Josh York and junior Brock Rubley, Ryan’s brother, battling for the job. York, 6-1, 195, was Ryan Rubley’s backup in 2012 but didn’t throw a pass in varsity action. “Seven-on-7 is a great option,” said Mountain Vista coach Ric Cash. “It’s not real football, necessarily, but it is a situation where we are getting the reps, you can work on timing and other things. Even though it’s not what you would call real football, it is a great opportunity for us to get some work done. You get to see a lot of different situa-
tions and scenarios. “Josh and Brock are going to battle it out all summer and in the preseason. We can’t make any decisions based on 7-on-7.” Whoever is selected as the starting quarterback will have some support returning with Rocco Palumbo, an all-league receiver who caught 43 passes last season, and running back Tanner Smith, who averaged 127.3 yards a game rushing. “Having Rocco back helps,” said Cash. “He needs to be patient as the quarterbacks learn the ropes. It also helps to have Tanner Smith coming back. It helps to have an allleague running back to lighten the load on the quarterbacks.”
sports roundup Engineer acquires tennis franchise
Mark Stangeland, a former aerospace engineer, has acquired the TGA Premier Youth Tennis franchise in Douglas County. An avid tennis player, Stangeland is a lifetime member of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and currently plays in the Intermountain Colorado and Colorado Tennis Association (CTA) leagues. Stangeland, a Highlands Ranch resident, works for the U.S. Defense Contract Management Agency and is excited about moving into the field of education and specifically teaching children to play tennis. “I have been trying to figure out how to merge my business education and my passion for tennis for several years,” explained Stangeland. “I had been looking
for business opportunities within the tennis community and recognized the benefits that TGA offered through its unique franchise model and partnership with the USTA.” TGA Premier Youth Tennis will conduct weekly one-hour, afterschool sessions for six weeks this fall for pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade players to prepare them to advance to junior teams and USTA tournaments. Classes will be held at Ben Franklin Academy, Heritage Elementary, Stone Mountain Elementary and DCS Montessori. Cost is $99 for the sixweek sessions. Racquets sized for smaller hands, smaller courts, modified tennis balls and adjusted scoring will be used during the teaching sessions designed to introduce youngsters to tennis.
Players can register by calling 404-538-2201 or mstangeland@ playtga.com. Stangeland is also looking for additional coaches. “TGA Premier Youth Tennis fills a void in local tennis programs for youth by bringing the enrichment curriculum and equipment to the schools and students in a structured, parent-funded, after school-program that is fun and challenging for the kids,” said Stangeland.

Keeping up with the Smiths
Jamin Smith, a 6-3, 270-pound senior Douglas County offensive lineman, has committed to play football at New Mexico State. Air Force, Wyoming and Colorado State were also recruiting Smith, a two-time All-Continental League selection. Another Smith from Douglas County, running back Trey Smith,
verbally committed to play football at Colorado State a week before Jamin Smith made his commitment. Trey Smith, 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, will be a senior for the Huskies this fall and plans to sign a letter of intent with the Rams Feb. 6. He gained 1,732 yards on 203 carries last season, averaging 173.2 yards a game and 8.53 yards per carry. Smith rushed for 17 touchdowns. He caught 16 passes for 213 years and one TD. His versatility was enhanced with 198 yards on kickoff returns during his junior campaign. Last spring, Trey Smith competed in track for the first time and was fourth in the Class 5A 100-meter dash. He had a best time of 10.6 in the preliminaries. Trey Smith is also being courted by New Mexico and Wyoming.
