New chief fans flames of success South Metro’s Bob Baker talks about importance of role By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com At a towering 6 feet 6 inches, the first thing people notice about Bob Baker is his height. The second characteristic they usually pick up on is his dedication and enthusiasm for fire service. Baker worked in eight positions during 30 years with the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority before taking over as the department’s chief last

October. With predecessor Dan Qualman at the helm for 28 years, Baker knows he has big shoes to fill and high expectations to meet. Fortunately for him, Baker had the chance to study under Qualman and adopt many of his leadership qualities, chief among them patience and humility. Although he didn’t have much say in choosing his replacement, Qualman says he wasn’t surprised that Baker succeeded him at the highest rung in the South Metro Fire ladder. “He’s analytical and intuitive, which I think is a real positive strength,” said the former chief, now a fire-protection consultant who considers himself semiretired.

Sensory friendly programming expands Award will help arts center extend reach to those with special needs By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Lone Tree Arts Center staff believes the arts are for everyone. Including those who can’t tolerate bright lights, thunderous applause or sitting still through long productions. It recently got a $14,000 financial boost to extend the reach of its sensory friendly performances even further. The programs started during the LTAC’s first season in March 2012. Illusionist Kevin Spencer held a performance for children with special needs. Inspired by Spencer, center staff planned the first sensory friendly performance in December 2013, tweaking the regular production of “Home for the Holidays” for individuals with autism spectrum disorders or other disabilities. Audience lights weren’t completely dimmed, the volume was lower, and the expectation that attendees might need to move about or otherwise express themselves was built into the performance. The center has hosted several sensory friendly productions since. “After we saw the impact on families, we knew we wanted to do this,” LTAC director Lisa Rigsby Peterson said. “This is sort of a movement for us. We are really committed to encouraging all kinds of organizations to con-

It’s not expensive. And you have the opportunity to reach people who have felt marginalized and not welcome.” The LTAC and Phamaly, a Denver theater

company composed of actors with disabilities, were awarded $14,000 in January during Colorado Art Tank. Similar to the show “Shark Tank,” in which people pitch business ideas, art proponents sought funds provided by The Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, Colorado Creative industries and The Denver Foundation. The money will enable Phamaly and the LTAC to schedule more sensory-friendly performances in upcoming seasons. The center also will convene a regional summit to share techniques about sensory friendly performances. Funds will help underwrite the cost of tickets to the performances and create a guide for organizations and families to find the programs. In March, opera star Nathan Gunn and music director Julie Gunn held a workshop at the Lone Tree Arts Center with actors from Phamaly and Castle Rock’s Wellspring Community choir. Wellspring is a day facility for adults with special needs. Nathan Gunn had high praise for Peterson’s mission. “I think what she’s doing is on the cutting edge,” he said. Wellspring director Mary Lou Fenton said the adults who participated displayed “tremendous pride and excitement.” “Engaging the disabled, opening up opportunities for them — this is fabulous,” she said. “What a unique opportunity for them to perform and be celebrated.” The LTAC’s next sensory friendly performance will be “Fancy Nancy” on May 16. During that production and future sensoryfriendly programs, members of Wellspring will serve as ushers.

Sky Ridge celebrates expansion Staff report Sky Ridge Medical Center celebrated the nearcompletion of its $117 million expansion with a grand-opening celebration March 18 at the new Birth Place. The project began in June 2013. Since the hospital’s 2003 opening, more than 30,000 babies have been born at Sky Ridge. The addition enables the hospital to accommodate up to 6,000 births a year and treat babies born as young as 24 weeks. So what else is new at Sky Ridge?

Principal guides school on academic expeditions

District’s adminstrator of year enthused about new direction By Jane Reuter

jreuter @coloradocommunitymedia.com Fox Creek Elementary sets sail on every school day under the slogan, “We are crew, not passengers.” Principal Brian Rodda is captain of the academic ship. “‘Crew, not passengers’ means we need each other to get to our destination, a crew of people working toward the same goal,” he said. “The concept really resonates with me as an educator.” The Highlands Ranch school’s slogan is a quote from Kurt Hahn, founder of Outward Bound. Fox Creek’s expeditionary learning program is an extension of Outward Bound, and links subjects into detailed, often community-focused projects or learning expeditions. Fox Creek is among 161 schools nationwide following the program. It adopted the model in 2012, with a 100 percent vote of support from the staff. “We haven’t looked back,” Rodda said. “It’s been a ton of hard work, taking everything we know about instruction and turning it sideways.” The change has infused excitement

into the school and Rodda, who’s in his 11th year as principal. The average national principal tenure is three to four years. The Douglas County School District recognized Rodda for his leadership, awarding him Administrator of the Year during the 2015 Apple Awards. Rodda was initially skeptical about expeditionary learning, first assuming it had to be tied to outdoor education. As a former rafting and rock climbing guide, he was intrigued by the idea but thought it wasn’t the right fit for a suburban elementary school. He changed his mind after learning more and meeting students engaged in the program. He was struck by “the level of engagement, the responsibility for their own learning, how it empowers kids to be an active part of their learning.” “I love the concept of adventure and going on an expedition, whether I’m putting on a backpack or taking an expedition into unknown territories of learning,” Rodda said. “I was convinced this was good for all kids.” To reinforce the philosophical change, the school raised $53,000 to buy new furniture aimed at opening space and encouraging movement. Some students stand during class. Others rock on chairs designed to tilt and flex. Still others sit two to a chair to read. In some classrooms, fluorescent lights are turned off and rooms are lit by lamps. In another, instrumental music floats softly in the

background. “It has been a huge energizer,” Rodda said. “I’m thrilled with what we’re doing, the purposefulness kids are feeling. It’s education with me instead of to me. They are an integral part of it.” In mid-March, students for the first time led parent/teacher conferences. “It was nerve-wracking for me at first,” said Savannah Sullivan. “But I felt like it was more interesting than sitting and listening to my teacher. My parents were impressed.” So were Megan Rodda’s parents. Rodda’s daughter is a student at Fox Creek.

Diaper drive benefits babies Organization helps families who can’t afford the basic hygiene products

DONATE DIAPERS AND WIPES

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com If demand for the product gets too high, they may have to start a potty-training drive, joked Cindy Bakula Streater, but for now, they will be sticking with diapers and wipes. From March 1-14, Streater, of Highlands Ranch, hosted a neighborhood diapers and wipes drive to benefit the Rocky Mountain Diaper Depot, a Colorado nonprofit that collects disposable diapers for families living at, or below, poverty in the Denver-metro area. “Diapers and wipes are basic needs that not everybody has heard of,” said Bill Youmans, who along with his wife, Joan, runs the Rocky Mountain Diaper Depot. “It’s like a food drive, but for diapers.” The Rocky Mountain Diaper Depot is all-volunteer, and is based in the Centennial/Littleton area but helps people organize diapers and wipes drives all over the south-metro area. In 2014, drives collected 80,342 diapers, and 1,972 packaged wipes. The organization distributes the diapers and wipes collected from the drives through Denver agencies such as The Gathering Place, a safehouse and dropin daycare center for individuals who are

“Honor your mother by helping another mother,” said the Rocky Mountain Diaper Depot’s executive director Bill Youmans. Drop-off locations are at: Year-round: St. Andrew United Methodist Church: 9203 S. University Blvd., Highlands Ranch. The church has a marked spot for the donations. Through Mother’s Day, May 10: Cindy Bakula Streater’s residence: 3770 Mallard Drive, Highlands Ranch. People may leave their donations on the front porch, and Streater will deliver them to St. Andrew United Methodist Church. Youmans can be contacted at bill@rmdiaperdepot. org.

A typical baby needs six to 10 diapers per day, Youmans said, which can cost a family $100 a month or more. Diapers cannot be bought with food stamps or WIC, he added. Therefore, families living at poverty level may have to choose between paying bills, putting food on the table or buying diapers. “Without enough diapers for routine changes, you start reusing dirty diapers, creating rashes and health problems. Your baby cries more, stress levels go up, and parenting just got tougher,” Youmans said. “There are all sorts of issues that all start with diapers.” Streater’s drive collected about 30 large boxes, which she counted to be 4,139 dia-

Streater got involved with the drive because she wanted to support a cause she believes in, she said.

Navy SEAL from Highlands Ranch dies in training accident Jason Kortz was conducting parachute operations Staff report A Navy SEAL from Highlands Ranch died after sustaining injuries during a training accident in Perris, Calif. Special Warfare Operator 3rd Class Jason Kortz, 29, was conducting

parachute-jump training operations March 18, the Navy said in a news release. An investigation will seek the cause of the accident. Kortz had earned the Navy/Marine Corps Achievement Medal, the National Defense Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Medal. He was assigned to Naval Special Warfare Group One, based in Coronado, Calif. “Jason distinguished himself con-

sistently throughout his career,” Capt. Todd Seniff, commodore of Naval Special Warfare Group One, said in the news release. “He was the epitome of the quiet professional in all facets of his life, and he leaves an inspiring legacy of natural tenacity and focused commitment for posterity. “Losing such a promising special operator is a tragedy, not just for his family and the Naval Special Warfare

community, but also for this nation, (which) needs men of such uncompromising character in these uncertain times.” Kortz is survived by his wife, parents and brother. He enlisted in the Navy in October 2012, graduating from boot camp in November of that year. He completed SEAL-qualification training in September 2014.

Board tamps down charter school concern New facilities supported by demand from students, parents By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two new charter schools will open in Douglas County for the 2015 school year, and three more are in the approval and planning stages. Not everyone thinks that’s good news. Retired teacher Gary Colley voiced concern about the proliferation of charter schools and their potential impact on traditional neighborhood schools during the school board’s March 17 meeting. The Douglas County School District has 12 charter schools, and Colley noted they represent more than 10 percent of all district schools. “I don’t see anywhere in this process where the community has been allowed to give (comment) about the impact on our community,” said Colley, who leads a grassroots group called Community

Accountability Committee for Douglas County School District. “You don’t honor accountability to your community by garnering their support for this. How many operating dollars are being taken away from public schools just to support all this staffing?” Board members and district staff said they have no legal basis for denying a charter school application, and that evidence of sufficient enrollment is a requirement for approval. “It’s not a popularity contest,” said district legal counsel Rob Ross. “There is evidence of demand for every one of these charters; that’s part of the application process. If someone says, ‘We don’t want charters,’ we cannot under the law deny an application on that basis.” Additionally, school board member Craig Richardson said an array of educational choices is in everyone’s best interest. “This district has long striven to be the most charter-friendly school district in Colorado, and I for one am proud of that

ambition,” he said. “I think it’s a mark of ambition for our students and our school district. Our neighborhood schools are superb. They’re going to compete and do very well.” Charters “provide an excellent alternative and choice for households,” he said. “When we have schools competing for parents and their choice, all the choices get better. All the choices improve because no one has a monopoly.” Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said it’s inaccurate to say charters deplete operational funds. “Charter schools are required to use their own dollars for everything they do,” she said. Charters are publicly funded schools that operate under a contract with the school district, but are founded and run independently. A separate charter school board often composed of parents, teach-

ers and/or community members makes decisions about operations and curriculum. Though they are free from some district regulations, charter schools must demonstrate academic performance. Many of them require students to wear uniforms, and most in Douglas County have long student waiting lists. Global Village Academy plans to open in Parker and World Compass Academy in Castle Rock in August. John Adams High School, Parker Performing Arts and a K-12 Castle Rock-area charter called Milestone Academy are in the planning stages with the Douglas County School District. Those three schools intend to open by the fall of 2016. The STEM School and Academy in Highlands Ranch, which currently serves students in sixth through 12th grade, plans to add a fifth grade in 2015, and kindergarten through fourth grade in 2016.

WHAT IS A CHARTER SCHOOL? On its website, www.dcsdk12.org, the Douglas County School District defines a charter school as follows: A charter school is a tuition-free public school operated by an independent board of directors that may be composed of parents, teachers and community members. A charter school is a school of choice within the school district, operating under a contract or “charter” between the board of the charter school community and the DCSD Board of Education. The “charter,” as defined in the Charter Schools Act (Sections 22-30.5-101et. seq. C.R.S.), spells out the school’s mission and vision, academic goals, performance standards, educational design, governance and operations. Charter schools generally operate free from many of the regulatory

requirements applicable to other public schools; however, charter schools operate under the charter philosophy of “autonomy in exchange for accountability.” School-centered governance, autonomy, and a clear design for how and what students will learn are the essential characteristics of a charter school. Charter school students are still required to take all statemandated standardized tests, just like all other public school students. In addition, charter schools must provide the appropriate levels of services to students with special needs, English language learners, gifted and talented students, and all other students admitted to the charter school.

County has five charter schools in the works

sSecondary options will expand eif approvals are granted t .By Jane Reuter rjreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com y Five new charter schools may be added nto the Douglas County School District by nfall 2016, and an existing charter school plans to expand to a full K-12 school. - STEM School and Academy, currently aoffering classes to sixth- through 12thegraders, plans to expand to a K-12 school -by 2016. e The five proposals include two char.ter high schools. Currently, STEM and nSkyView academies — both in Highlands sRanch — are the only charter high school ,options available in Douglas County. - Two already approved charters will

open in August 2014. Construction is underway on Castle Rock’s K-8 World Compass Academy, and groundbreaking is planned on April 1 for Parker’s K-8 Global Village Academy. About 275 students plan to attend Global Village, and its leaders expect a total of about 330 by opening day. Former North Star Academy principal Holly Hensey will lead the school. Global Village already has campuses in Aurora, Northglenn, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs. At least half of each day’s instruction is in the student’s choice of language, which includes Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, French and German. Castle Rock’s World Compass Academy will focus on early foreign language instruction and mastery-based learning — a philosophy that allows students to advance after demonstrating content mas-

tery. It will be led by a former Cherry Creek School District elementary principal Jim McDevitt, who opened Coyote Creek Elementary School. More than 400 students have registered and paid fees to attend World Compass Academy so far. DCSD is reviewing plans for John Adams High School, Parker Performing Arts School and Milestone Academy. The K-8 Parker Performing Arts, which submitted its final application in March, is hosting a community information meeting at 7 p.m. April 9 at the Parker Library. John Adams is looking for a site near the Interstate 25/C-470 corridor. An organization called Patriot Schools, formed by Highlands Ranch’s Ben Franklin Academy founder Jason Sanders and real estate broker Travis Cottle, is advising supporters of John Adams High School and K-12 Parker Performing Arts School.

The proposed K-12 Milestone Academy is seeking a location within five miles of downtown Castle Rock. The school is needed because there is currently no charter high school option for Castle Rock students, according to Milestone Academy’s website. Milestone is proposed by Merlin Holmes, CEO of Capstone Collegiate Academies. In addition to Milestone, Capstone plans to open five Colorado charter schools in 2016-17 and expand into other states. It describes its model as “purposedriven education.” Holmes was the 2013-14 principal at Castle Rock’s Aspen View Academy, and director at SkyView Academy from 2010 to 2013.

OPINION

March 26, 2015

O U R S

One sport has a slide, not a decline It’s almost time to get out your memories. It seems like only yesterday that you were rubbing linseed oil into your new baseball glove, tying it up with a ball, and putting it under your mattress so that a pocket could be formed. Then sleeping and dreaming on it. The Rockies’ home opener is April 10 against the Chicago Cubs. It got me thinking about the Cubs, the futility of the Cubs and about a poor sap named Steve Bartman. There are a lot of Cubs fans in Colorado. I wonder what they think of Steve Bartman now. If they are good baseball fans, they know that Bartman didn’t cost them that playoff game in 2003. And neither did a billygoat. Or a black cat. If not, and they still hold a grudge against Bartman, they are complete idiots. The fans’ reaction that night to Bartman’s (possible) interference with a foul ball was vile and despicable. He was pelted with beer and profanities — one in particular. Did it make an unfavorable impression on the kids who were in Wrigley Field, and who were watching at home, or did it fuel their current sports events behavior? The incident was featured in an ESPN documentary, “Catching Hell,” that compared it to Bill Buckner’s gaffe in the 1986 World Series. Buckner’s fielding error is what most half-baked fans remember about Buck-

ner. I’m betting that they don’t know that Buckner had more career hits than both Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio. I stopped going to games. Baseball is just about the only team sport remaining that is free from the juvenilia that mars other sports, like football and basketball. Players are full of self-congratulations, posing, body slams, teeth-baring and fists in the air — because they deflected a pass. Do something like that in baseball and the next time you are up, you will be brushed back or knocked down. I played four years of Little League baseball. Those were the happiest days of my life. I think I might have made a decent Division III shortstop at a school no one has heard of. I loved the clarity in the game, and even the distances. It’s still very difficult to steal second. It used to be difficult to dunk a basketball. Not now. I appreciated the distances between one teammate and another. We had our own

little areas. You could groom them. In just about every other team sport, you are more intimate with everyone, scrumming and diving and hugging and groping. I don’t get too excited when the Rockies win or when they lose. I know better. But if you were here in 2007, you might have great memories of a scrapbook season. They were nine games under .500 at one point. The Rockies improbably won 14 of their final 15 regular season games, then another eight straight, and eventually wound up in the World Series. The highlights are replayed on Root and it’s still a thrill. Every spring, the faithful fans of all 28 teams walk into major league ballparks with high hopes and great expectations. Even if you lose that first game, you are only one game out of first. When I was a kid, there were only two leagues, and no divisions. Some teams were out of it by the Fourth of July. Now there are six divisions. It was a clever way to ensure that most teams will still be around in September. Like the 2007 Rockies. If you know your baseball, you know that there are 30 teams, not 28. Rest in peace, Ernie, and let’s play two. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Careful consideration trims task overload I am not sure about you, but these first three months of 2015 have been incredibly busy for me. I mean, I have found myself lately telling people that I am just too busy right now to do anything else. After carefully considering that remark, I had to laugh at myself. Am I really too busy to do anything else? Obviously the answer is no, I am not too busy. But you know what I mean, right? Sometimes it just feels like we are too busy, too many projects, too many things on our plate, and just juggling too many balls at one time. We feel like we are simply spread way too thin. Although we acknowledge that this could be a problem, I would suggest that it is a good problem. It really is better than the alternative, wouldn’t you agree? Having nothing to do only leads to boredom and maybe even trouble. A couple of proverbs speak directly to this, “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop” and “Lazy hands make for poverty; but diligent hands bring wealth.” So where do we find the balance? Because right now if I shared my calendar, you would say to yourself that there is no

room for anything else as I am already double-booked and triple-booked on certain days and at specific times. Here’s what I did: I went back into my list of tasks, obligations and follow-up items. And I carefully analyzed the level of importance of each item, thought about who I can ask for assistance or better yet, who I could delegate the task to. I also went back to my personal goals list and tried to see where my priorities were aligning with my goals and where they were actually disrupting my path toward the achievement of my goals. Basically looking at what I want to be doing, what I should be doing versus what I am actually doing, and where I am spending my time.

The next question I had to ask myself was this: “What are the things I can say no to, in order to say yes to the things I want to do or should do?” Sometimes saying no is harder than it seems, at least it is for me anyway. Now don’t get me wrong, I recognize that we all have things that we “have to” do. And whenever I think about those “have to do” items I think of the quote by Zig Ziglar: “Discipline yourself to do the things you need to do when you need to do them, and the day will come when you will be able to do the things you want to do when you want to do them.” Are you too busy? Are you struggling with where to spend your time? Are you compromising the things you want to be doing? I would love to hear all about it and maybe offer up some tips if you will email me at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we realize that we are really never too busy, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Some final tweaks might lower taxes Income tax laws changed over a year ago, and it is not for the better. Those getting ready to file 2014 taxes are probably remembering this by now. Brackets went up and some deductions went down. Investments were profitable, so some brokerage 1099s reported taxable earnings. Medicare tax has a 0.9 percent kicker on incomes over $250,000 and those in the highest brackets get to pay an extra 3.8 percent on investment returns. All in all, taxes have risen. There might be a few last-minute things you can do that will help reduce your tax liability. Consider funding an IRA account. You have up to your tax filing date to contribute for last year. Most employees who have a 401(k) plan have forgotten they might also be eligible for an IRA as well. If you are married filing jointly and only one spouse has a 401(k) plan, the other spouse may be eligible for a $5,500 deduction or $6,500 if over the age of 50. Check the IRS limits for adjusted gross incomes that range from $181,000 to $191,000. Those with two qualified employer plans with incomes under $96,000 can both write off the full contribution.

This may be enough to reduce other factors, such as eligibility for the education tax credits. It is not a good idea to over-fund an IRA where you don’t get the tax deduction. There is no reason to be subject to IRS restrictions when there is no deduction on after-tax deposits. Self-employed individuals may be eligible for a SEP (simplified employee pension). These limits can be substantially higher than an IRA based on business or consulting income. Most plans allow for deductible contributions similar to 401(k) limits — which for 2014 were $17,500 with an over-age-50 catch-up provision of another $5,500. For higher-income earners, you may also be eligible for a profit-sharing contribution up to 25 percent of your business profit up to $52,000, depending

on your business structure. It is crucial to get with your tax or financial advisor immediately to see what plans and limits you are eligible for. Consider maximizing your health savings accounts for last year if they have not already been funded. You may be eligible if you had a high-deductible health insurance plan starting no later than Dec. 1, 2014. An individual can contribute a tax-deductible amount of $3,300 with a $1,000 catch-up provision for anyone over age 55 by December 31. Households with one spouse on family coverage can contribute $6,550 plus the catch-up for over age 55. You can fund college savings plans that are eligible for the state income tax deduction for children or grandchildren. It is never too early to start tax planning for this year. Make sure you are maximizing your 401(k) contributions through your employer. There was a slight increase for 2015 to $18,000 plus a $6,000 catch-up. If you are self-employed, consider establishing an individual 401(k) plan, which must be set up by October Kummer continues on Page 9

Why I believe Iran can’t be trusted The president believes that if Iran is diplomatically treated with the same trust and respect afforded to responsible governments, Iran will somehow suddenly begin to conduct its affairs in a responsible and rational manner. I disagree: My belief is that the Iranian government cannot be trusted and is based upon my personal experiences in the Middle East. Simply put, so long as Iran legitimizes state-sponsored terrorism, publicly states that Israel has no right to exist, and continues to develop delivery systems that can target Israel (as well as its regional neighbors), it cannot be trusted to negotiate, in good faith, an agreement to give up its quest for a nuclear arsenal. The conduct of this authoritarian theocracy has not changed since November 1979, when the newly established Islamic Republic of Iran allowed the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and held 52 American hostages for 444 days. Only months later, in the fall of 1980, I was deployed off the coast of Iran as a rifle platoon commander in a battalion landing team, prepared to deal with Iranian threats to shut down shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran did

not shut those sea lanes down, but not because of any concern for the world’s economy or a recognition that responsible governments don’t cut off the world’s fuel supplies. No, the reason Iran held back was the presence of an American military force backed by a credible threat of its use. In August 1982, I transferred from active duty to the Marine Corps Reserve and returned to Colorado. The following year, the battalion I had previously served in off the Strait of Hormuz was ordered to take up positions at the abandoned airport in Beirut, Lebanon. On Oct. 23, 1983, a truck, laden with explosives and driven by an Iranian-backed Hezbollah fighter, drove into the building that provided the offices and billet-

ing for the headquarters staff. The building collapsed in the explosion, killing 241 Marines, making it the largest loss of life, in a single day, for the U.S. Marine Corps since World War II. Many of those Marines were my friends and colleagues and I have not forgotten them. My point is that Iran’s threats should not be taken lightly. They have taken American lives before and won’t hesitate to do so again if they think they will not suffer significant harm from doing so. More recently, in June 2005, I took a military leave from the office of Colorado state treasurer to return to the U.S. Marine Corps for an assignment in Iraq. The vast majority of U.S. casualties at that time were from roadside bombs or “improvised explosive devices.” To better protect our troops against IEDs, the exterior metal armor of our vehicles consistently increased. However, in 2007, a much more sophisticated and lethal “explosively formed projectile,” which could easily penetrate the enhanced armor of U.S. military vehicles, made its way into Iraq. The EFPs were provided by Iran specifically to kill U.S. military personnel serving in Iraq and they, unfortunately, did just that.

President Obama sees Iran as he wants it to be, and those of us who served in the region see Iran for what it is — a murderous regime that wants to wipe Israel off the map and continues to provide support to terrorist groups across the globe. President Obama threw a lifeline to the leadership of Iran when he unilaterally reduced sanctions merely to bring them to the negotiating table. The only realistic path to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon is to impose economic sanctions that are so severe that the leadership of the country concludes that unless it agrees to dismantle its nuclear weapons program, Iran will face economic collapse, threatening the continued rule of the “mullahs.” Instead the president has chosen to trust Iran’s extremist leaders. I do not.

Committees approve construction-defects reforms Bills are portrayed as ways to boost condos By Amy Woodward

awoodward @coloradocommunitymedia.com Senate committees last week approved two pieces of legislation dedicated to reforming the state’s construction-defects laws. Proponents looking to reform the laws have argued that lessening the rigid process between homeowners seeking arbitration with home builders over construction defects will increase the production of condos and townhomes. Opponents argue that any reform may prevent a homeowner from resolving construction defects related to their home. Lakewood Mayor Bob Murphy reported that no condos have been built in Lakewood since 2006. After the state failed to address construction-defects reforms in the 2014 legislative session, Lakewood developed and passed its own constructiondefects ordinance. “If by any chance the state doesn’t do something there will be a lot of dominos

that fall,” Murphy said in regard to other Colorado cities that may pass their own ordinances if the state fails to address the issue again this year.

Capitol Report

Senate Bill 91: The bill would decrease the statute of limitation for a homeowner to sue a builder, architect, contractor, or builder vendor, engineer, or inspector performing or furnishing the design, planning, supervision, inspection, construction, or observation of construction of any improvement to real property from eight years to four years. Sponsors of the bill made amendments that reduced the time from eight years to six years and took out the bill’s application to multi-family units Passed with amendments: 3-2 Senate Bill 177: “The Arbitration Bill” concerns homeowners’ associations and prerequisites that are needed before pursuing resolution disputes associated with construction defects.

Passed with amendments: 6-2 “What we’ve done is ensured that there is a remedy — an ability for homeowners to get an issue resolved if there is a defect,” said Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Westminster. “This protects their ability to get a remedy but at the same time it provides certainty that the alternative dispute resolution methods that are potentially outlined in a declaration are the ones that you’re going to use.” Patricia Pacey of Pacey Economics Inc. in Boulder testified that the housing market contributes to the drop in multi-family units. “There is really no direct economic tie or link from relaxing the construction-defect law to increasing condos in the urban centers,” Pacey said. “It will reduce costs, certainly, of building a condo.” What civic leaders are saying about Senate Bill 177: “The Fair Housing Act requires local elected officials to No. 1 identify the impediments to fair housing, No. 2 to eliminate the impediments to fair housing and No. 3 to affirmatively further fair housing in all of our communities,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella. “The

lack of access to adequate multi-family options is one of the identified impediments to fair housing in Douglas County … a failure to address this issue in a way that Senate Bill 177 can will be a failure under the federal mandate.” “Would-be first-time homebuyers have significantly fewer options and are increasingly being forced into the skyrocketing rental market,” said Jeffco Commissioner Don Rosier. “Jeffco is home to the largest populations of adults over the age of 65 in the state; this lack of owneroccupied multi-family options also leaves behind many of our seniors who are looking to downsize from their single-family homes.” “Any vibrant, successful city depends on a true mix of housing types to accommodate the needs of various populations,” said Denver Mayor Michael Hancock. “This includes attainably priced for-sale, multi-family homes that appeal to our growing population of young millennials, first-time homebuyers, and older residents looking to downsize their homes,” he said. “But here in Denver, we are not seeing this market grow like we would hope.”

economically disadvantaged individuals. As a result, the company received U.S. government contracts to provide clerical and administrative support and other services. Under the contracts, the government paid SofTec Solutions more than $17 million. Jhaveri allegedly diverted $4.5 million from SoftTec Solutions’ bank accounts to continue participation in the program without exceeding specific limits. About $500,000 in diverted funds was used to help purchase a $3 million home in Lone Tree, and he allegedly funneled $45,000 to an account used to make his alimony payments. Jhaveri allegedly failed to report much of the diverted money on his federal income tax returns. The charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States carries a penalty of up to five years in federal prison, and a fine of up to $250,000.

Sheriff’s office offers safety for transactions

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office will be offering its parking lot as a “safe haven” for buyers and sellers on Craigslist. The sheriff’s office has locations at 4000 Justice Way in Castle Rock and a substation at 9250 Zotos Drive in Highlands Ranch. “Most Internet-related crime involves personal scams, and not in-person transactions,” said Sheriff Tony Spurlock, who described the parking lot as “a preventative measure to ensure there’s a safe place to allow (buyers and sellers) to conduct their normal lives and business.”

The sheriff’s office staff won’t be involved in the transactions or oversee them. The sheriff’s office suggests that you conduct your online transactions at the closest law enforcement station to protect both the buyer and seller.

Baker

Fun facts about the chief

Continued from Page 1

Staff report

New horizons

South Metro Fire Chief Bob Baker had only a high school diploma when he joined the Parker Fire Protection District in 1984 (Parker Fire is in the final stages of a merger with South Metro) for an annual salary of $15,500. Since then, he earned an associate’s and a bachelor’s degree before getting his master’s in executive leadership, all while working and raising a family. Baker represents the second of three generations of firefighters. In 1982, he turned down an appointment to the Air Force Academy and a sponsorship to the illustrious GM Institute — now Kettering University — and instead moved from Flint, Mich., to Colorado, where there were more opportunities for a career in firefighting. Here are some things you probably didn’t know about Baker: • He has a sophisticated woodworking shop in his garage and made the cabinetry and shelving in his home by hand. • He has rocked his trademark mustache — once a seeming prerequisite for firefighters — for the vast majority of his 31-year career. Former South Metro Fire Chief Dan Qualman remembers a brief “weird” period when Baker shaved it and was nearly unrecognizable. • He doesn’t have a nickname in the department, but when he was a newbie, co-workers teased him about his curly hair and threatened to put Velcro on the ceiling to store Baker and conserve space, Qualman said. • The new chief has built Pinewood Derby ﬁre trucks with his kids. • Every member of his immediate family, including his daughters-in-law, either works or has certifications in the public-service sector. • He has known Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock for almost 30 years. • He has played competitive softball and basketball and is an avid skier.

Baker’s experience in multiple capacities in the fire service has its advantages, but he has had to negotiate a learning curve since becoming chief. “The political side of the fire chief position is a lot more significant than the job I had before in operations,” he said, before listing the numerous cities, counties and law enforcement and fire agencies with which South Metro has a relationship. “You want to represent the organization with integrity and distinction, and you are a figurehead.” Baker and Qualman agree the biggest challenge will be keeping up with the pace of residential and commercial growth, in terms of inspections, response times and public education. South Metro Fire covers areas where major development is occurring or planned, including RidgeGate in Lone Tree, Parker, Sterling Ranch and Greenwood Village. The department is especially taking note of the fastrising at-risk population. “Our challenge now is: how do we prepare to be able to serve that growing population? And the demographic is changing,” he said. “Our population across the country is aging, but even more so in Douglas and Arapahoe counties.”

A team mentality

South Metro Fire, which employs more than 360 people, has put an emphasis on education and boasts perhaps the most intelligent command staff in the entire state. The number of executive fire officers and chief fire officers, both certifications that require hours of classwork and training, is in the double-digits. “I’m blessed to be surrounded by unbelievably competent, compassionate people, so they make you look really good,” Baker said. Walking around the office with the new chief, his popularity is apparent. Employees serving in a multitude of roles offer a genuine, enthusiastic greeting, or an occasional inside joke. Baker claps shoulders, shares laughs and shakes hands like he’s running for office. But it’s not an act. The interactions are a natural extension of his affable personality, one that has, at least in part, earned him considerable respect and the highest position at one of the five largest fire protection agencies in the state. Baker admits that he misses the immediate gratification that came with being a firefighter: saving a life, receiving thank-you notes from schoolkids, Christmas cookie deliveries. But now he gets to put others in a position to succeed. “My gratification now is to be able to provide for our family that’s taking care of your family,” he said.

HOW BIG IS SOUTH METRO FIRE’S DISTRICT? The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority provides fire suppression, emergency medical service, building protection, life-safety training and other specialized rescue operations and services to an area that includes 194,000 residents and covers 176 square miles.

Forum on police shootings sparks discussion ThunderRidge student wants to bring awareness to suburbs

HAVE A STORY IDEA? Email Lone Tree Community Editor Jane Reuter at jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com or call 303566-4106.

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com

l A student-organized forum called “Black Lives Matter” about recent police shootings of black men and boys drew few participants but intense discussion. The March 16 event at Highlands Ranch’s Westridge Recreation Center was part of an ongoing effort to bring the issue into primarily white comdmunities like Douglas County. The most recent census statistics show Douglas County is almost 92 percent Caucasian. Blacks represent about 1.4 percent of the county’s population. ThunderRidge High School student Max McBride organized the event, originally planned at the high school, to give people a place to engage in honest discussion. McBride, who is yblack, said he was aware of “the outrage across the nation” over recent police shootings. “And yet, I would come back here and not hear a word about yit; it was kind of like a sheltered environment,” said McBride, nwho wore a black T-shirt with the words, “#I Can’t Breathe.” r “I wanted to bring it to Highlands Ranch to build awareness.” The T-shirt reflects New Yorker Eric Garner’s last words. He sdied in July 2014 after a police officer placed him in a chokehold during an arrest. A grand jury’s decision not to indict the officer later triggered protests. s McBride’s mother Saundra said the discussion is needed, regardless of the area’s demographics. s “You don’t have to be a black student to be impacted,” she said. “The impact of what’s happening in this nation, these unarmed black men and boys being killed, it’s still relevant. It’s kworth having some dialogue.” Saundra McBride acknowledged the slogan “black lives matter” can seem offensive. “In reality, all lives matter,” she said. “But right now, black men and boys are the ones that are being targeted.” Quincy and Shwanna Hines, directors of the nonprofit civil rights organization Shop Talk Live, were invited as speakers for the meeting. Quincy Hines initiated a direct discussion with the all-white attendees. “We know the United States does not have a very fairy-tale history,” he said. “It’s bathed in blood. Our blood. And it wasn’t the African-Americans who killed one another. It was whites who killed blacks — murdered, lynched, killed. “We have to ask ourselves as Americans living on this soil, ‘What are we doing to better this country? How are we raising our children?’ I believe it starts at home.” Saundra McBride noted differences between violent episodes involving whites and blacks. “If there’s anything to suggest the individual that’s been killed did anything wrong, the focus is put on that wrongdoing to twist and justify the murder; let’s make this subliminal suggestion that this person deserved to be killed,” she said. “Let’s look at the (Aurora) theater shooting, or any of these other mass murders where we have these individuals who were truly

Thunder Ridge High School student Max McBride, with his mother Saundra at right, speaks at a March 16 Westridge Rec Center forum he organized to discuss recent police shootings. Photo by Jane Reuter armed and dangerous. And yet these individuals were arrested, not even beat up.” “White privilege is what we have to address,” said attendee Lynn Anderson, of Denver. “Most people aren’t willing to do that.” “We need to have these stories shared more,” said Stefanie Fuhr, who helped promote the event. “I’m just learning about my white privilege.” Attendee Barbara Morton, who moved to Douglas County from San Francisco, said living in diverse communities promotes understanding. “I think there are too many communities in this country that are a lot like Douglas County, and not enough like San Francisco, (where) you have gays, Asians, blacks, Hispanics, everybody’s all together. You understand there are bad people and good people in each community. But when you’re in a community like Douglas County, where the majority are Caucasian, we aren’t exposed to people of other colors or other ethnic groups.” “If we have those hard discussions, I think we can break down those stereotypes,” Hines said. Saundra McBride, wearing a T-shirt with the words “Black Lives Matter,” said the slogan ignites debate. “It’s so sad that in 2015 there has to be emphasis on the fact that black lives matter, that it’s necessary to take a position that should be so obvious,” she said. “That a black life actually matters. That we have value. That we’re relevant. That we’re not violent, or thieves. And we are intelligent. And you can’t put us in a box.”

Harry Potter comes to Holly Creek Third-grade thespians perform for retirement community By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

Eight-year-old thespians got to display their talent to a group of 80-year-old thespians on March 20 — but the only judging going on was that of a potionmaking contest. The kids, a group of about 30 thirdgraders from William Roberts elementary, a K-8 Denver public school in Stapleton, performed a scene from “Harry Potter and the Cauldron of Doom” for about 45 senior residents at Holly Creek, a retirement community in Centennial. Being able to perform for seniors is a great opportunity for the kids, their drama teacher, Maureen Hines, said. And the seniors benefit, she added, because the kids bring a lot of energy and joy. “It’s a win-win situation for everybody,” she said. The third-graders worked on the skit for about three months, once a week after school on early-release days for two hours, Hines said. Thursday Thespians, Holly Creek’s thespian group of about 25 residents, designed the set and made the backdrop and props for the skit, said the group’s founding member, Jack Hull. “We’ve been wanting to do something with an intergenerational group,” he said,

A group of third-grade thespians from a Denver County public school visited Holly Creek Retirement Community to perform a skit for about 45 senior residents on March 20. but mostly, Thursday Thespians were there to simply welcome the children and their talent, added the group’s director Norma Austermann. Holly Creek always welcomes opportunities where the residents get to work

with and engage younger generations, said April Henderson, the retirement community’s director of life enrichment. “The children can learn from our residents,” she said, “and we can learn from the children.”

‘Seven Last Words’ to be performed at church 1867 work will be part of anniversary celebration By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Theodore Dubois (1837-1924) was an important organist, composer and teacher in a period in Paris where the arts were especially important.

Denver Botanic Gardens has earned the distinction of being the most visited public garden in North America, with 1,411,116 visitors in 2014. The major increase in attendance is attributed in large part to the hugely successful Chihuly exhibition that attracted visitors from around the globe, but the addition of two new structures (the Science Pyramid and the outdoor Hive Garden Bistro) as well as the opening of the Ellipse garden contributed as significant draws. The popular Summer Concert Series, Blossoms of Light, Trail of Lights, Pumpkin Festival, corn maze and plant sales also spurred attendance. In addition to the attendance record, the Gardens is included in the North American Garden Tourism Conference’s “Top 10 North American Gardens Worth Traveling For” 2015 Awards.

Animal caregiver to hold presentation Sanctuary provides space for many large carnivores By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Lone Tree Arts Center Guild will feature “An Evening with Pat Craig” in the Mainstage theater at Lone Tree Arts Center from 7 to 9 p.m. April 17. The event is a fundraiser for both The Wild Animal Sanctuary (headed by Craig) and the Guild. Last year, Craig presented a program in the multipurpose room at the center and about 100 people attended, raising about $1,000, said publicist Gayle Spelts. This year, the Guild decided to rent the large theater and plans to draw larger numbers of animal lovers to Craig’s program. Craig has focused on rescuing and caring for large carnivores for 34 years, starting on his family’s farm outside of Boulder. The population has grown to more than 350 animals and the sanctuary is now located on a 720-acre property at Keenesburg, about 30 miles northeast of Denver, where 130 volunteers help feed more than 20,000 pounds of food each week. Education about what he calls “The Captive Wildlife Crisis” is part of Craig’s multi-faceted mission, in addition to rehabilitating and caring for lions, tigers, bears, wolves and other animals in need. He estimates that 30,000 captive large carnivores are living outside the zoo system — often in small cages, with inadequate food and care. His website says that 4,000 tigers are living as “pets” in private homes in the state of Texas alone — more than exist in the wild. “The sanctuary has developed a unique system of rehabilitating rescued animals and then releasing them into large acreage natural habitats where they can roam freely and live with others of their kind,” said Spelts. The facility is open to the public year

Craig will tell of recent worldwide rescues and discuss the future of The Wild Animal Sanctuary. Tickets cost $15 for adults and $8 for children 8 and under.

Richard Hannay is running for his life across the top of a moving train as lights go up and is in pretty constant motion as “The 39 Steps” plays out. Originally a big, serious black-andwhite Alfred Hitchcock classic film in 1935, the version we will see was reshaped into a farce in 2006 by Patrick Barlow and won Britain’s Olivier Award — the equivalent of our Tony. It appeared on Broadway two years later and has been entertaining American audiences since. Lone Tree Arts Center is producing it from April 2 to 11, with a cast of four playing more than 150 zany characters as Hannay flees a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps.” He goes out for an evening, meets a woman with a strong accent, who claims to be a spy, and takes her home with him. During the night, she is murdered — and we’re off on a search/chase/manhunt. John DiAntonio plays Hannay and Heather Hughes plays the spy and two

Steven Cole Hughes, local actor, playwright and director, makes his Lone Tree debut as director, and DiAntonio, Hughes and Kinnet are appearing for the first time at Lone Tree. Ward appeared in Creede Repertory’s “Harry the Great” at Lone Tree in 2012. Costume designer Karen Horney has created 1930s costumes that meet the play’s demands for fast changes, and set designer Michael Duran had made a flexible set for this fast-paced farce. This piece is probably not appropriate for the very short set, but older kids and their parents should be delighted.

Review: ‘Insurgent’ could use more divergence By Jake Coyle

Associated Press Given that conformity is the scourge of the “Divergent” series and much of its young-adult ilk, it’s a shame that the films, including the new “Insurgent,” do so little to stray from well-worn YA paths. For a series that waves the banner of individualism, they make a poor case for it. Instead of throbbing with a teenage spirit of rebellion — or things like youthful wildness, humor or sex — the two “Divergent” movies are curiously content to eke out a rigid, lifeless fable in drab futuristic environs. The answer, here, to the question of what are you rebelling against isn’t “Whaddya got?” but the slightly less visceral “An elaborate, highly metaphorical dystopian system of militaristic control.” But even faint, fantastical whiffs of

teen insurrection carry enough potency to drive feverish young audiences. Why? Much of it has to do with the stars. Say what you will about YA movies, but they’ve been an efficient star-making machine that’s produced Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Stewart and Shailene Woodley. We should be happy to have them: good actresses all, who easily lead their respective films over their male counterparts. The YA men aren’t as fine a bunch but here include the hunky Theo James and the excellent Miles Teller. Predictably providing “Insurgent” with its only lively, comedic moments, Teller looks as if he didn’t get the note that all must be sullen and serious. A quick summary. Based on Veronica Roth’s trilogy of best-selling novels, the “Divergent” films are set in a walled, postapocalyptic Chicago, where survivors are ritualistically sorted into five factions.

Every 16-year-old is tested for which faction suits them, and then must choose one and remain there forever. Tris (Woodley) chose Dauntless, who are known for their bravery and, it seems, their proclivity for train hopping. But her test revealed her to be “divergent” — someone who has no dominant characteristic but a plethora — and this makes her uncontrollable. In “Divergent,” Tris came to embrace her fate, find a boyfriend in Dauntless leader Four (James, who has a natural chemistry with Woodley) and stop a plot by the city’s overlord, Janine (Kate Winslet) to make zombies of its citizens. “Insurgent,’’ the full name of which is the suitably clunky “The Divergent Series: Insurgent,” finds the tale largely spinning its wheels and features many redundant confrontations. Along with an underground revolutionary leader played by an

underused Naomi Watts, Tris and Four organize a revolt against Janine. Allegiances are in constant flux; Teller’s sarcastic operator switches sides with the wind. The plot (which includes Tris’ brother, played by Ansel Elgort and Jai Courtney’s burly enforcer) progresses less in a forward motion than in a repetitive cycle of escapes, surrenders and rescues, often taking place in the same hallways. Executions at gunpoint and frequently threatened suicide add to the cheery atmosphere. Much of the drama takes place in a virtual reality in which Tris frequently faces various simulation challenges, forcing her to reconcile her guilt in the death of her parents, as seen in the first installment. These “sims” are where “Insurgent” flashes its fanciest effects, but this dream state just further removes the film from Insurgent continues on Page 19

Harmony plus humor equals ‘Forever Plaid’ BDT Stage production revives era of doo-wop hit songs

Cronan said the four guys in the group have worked together in other productions, and two of the quartet performed

in productions of “Forever Plaid,” but not together. So this production marks the first time the four men have harmonized

together. They spent three weeks in rehearsal resulting in their smooth, easy-onthe-ears harmonies. The music is made up of many classics from the 1950s made famous by quartets of that era as well as other classics by solo artists like Henry Belafonte and Perry Como. There is even a short segment spoofing the Ed Sullivan show. Instead of trying to sound exactly like the great quartets of the 1950s, the “Forever Plaid” guys made subtle changes to the songs like altering the tempos or introducing new arraignments to make them their own. With the classic solos, they put their own spin on the songs. For example, for “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song),” they donned floppy straw hats to help set the mood for the calypso beat of the music. The BDT Stage production of “Forever Plaid” runs through May 10. The theater is located at 5501 Arapahoe Ave. in Boulder. There are performances Wednesday through Sunday evenings plus a matinee on Sunday. Seating on Wednesday is at 5:30 p.m. with seating for other evening performances at 6:15. Ticket prices start at $37. For information or reservations, call 303449-6000 or go to bdtstage.com.

to make the first film cheaply and then, once its popularity has been proven, boost the production value in subsequent sequels. That’s the case with the 3-D “Insurgent,” where director Robert Schwentke (“R.I.P.D.’’) takes over for “Divergent” helmer Neil Burger. The result is a bigger, glossier and better made action film with

less embarrassing fight choreography. But any appeal still depends entirely on the talent of its cast. The final “Divergent” book will be split into two movies, a future that is indeed a little dystopian. Much brighter, though, are the blossoming careers of Woodley and Teller, who were best together in the

indie “The Spectacular Now.” Movies, thankfully, come in factions, too. “The Divergent Series: Insurgent,” a Summit Entertainment release, is rated PG-13 for “intense violence and action throughout, some sensuality, thematic elements and brief language.” Running time: 118 minutes. Two stars out of four.

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The comedy musical “Forever Plaid” artistically combines abundant four-part male harmonies with plenty of humor and slapstick comedy in the production now playing at BDT Stage in Boulder. In the play, four guys making up a quartet fashioned after the hit groups of the 1950s like the Four Lads and the Four Aces die in a car crash, then get to come back to Earth to realize their dream of performing their big show. The stage is occupied by the four singers with a piano player and guitarist in the background. The quartet is made up of Scott Severtson as Frankie, Brian Jackson as Smudge, Brett Ambler as Sparky and Brian Cronan as Jinx. From the opening musical notes until the guys take their final bows, the four singers trigger memories with their harmony and spark laughs with their verbal and physical humor.

Zip lines start zooming The course, which opened March 14, features 1.5 miles of lines and reaches speeds of 50 mph By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Drake Bebout celebrated his 10th birthday by being the first paying customer to ride the new zip line course at Philip S. Miller Park in Castle Rock. Drake and his father Mark, who are from nearby Franktown, were joined by their family in Castle Rock for the big day March 14. “We’ve been watching it go up and it was opening day on his birthday, so we thought `that’s so cool,’ ” said Heidi Robertson, Drake’s aunt. Drake showed no nerves before the inaugural voyage. When asked what he was most excited about he said “the big one” pointing to the dual racing line coming down from the top of the park’s challenge staircase — the fastest line of the 10 on the course where speeds can hit 50 mph. The rides taken by Drake and his family were the culmination of some 23 months of planning and building by Castle Rock Zip Line Tour owner Ty Seufer. “It’s super exiting,” Seufer said. “We’re so blessed to have such an epic, perfect, weekend to do it. We’re talking record-breaking temperatures.” Construction of the 1.5-mile course has been going on

since October. Riders can sign up and pay to ride at the counter inside the Miller Activity Complex. Then, outside the MAC, Ty and his crew fit and strapped guests into their harnesses and equipment before a quick ATV ride up to the first line. “It’s an adventure park,” Seufer said. “Everything about it, from the kids’ playground to the seven miles of trails, everything they’re doing is about adventure. Getting people outdoors and experiencing real Castle Rock, Colorado.” In addition to the traditional zip lines, the “Head Rush” Epic Adventure Tower will be opening in May. The Epic Adventure tower will consist of a 42-foot climbing wall, four rappelling stations and a 70-foot eagle’s nest platform. The tower also includes a 45-degree cable drop and will combine a zip line and auto belay line to provide an exciting drop to the ground below. There is not an age range as the tours are based on weight ranges, which are 50 to 250 pounds.

Focus of festival is art by women By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Harm’s Way” by Marilyn Kriegel is playing in a world premiere at the Aurora Fox Studio Theater through April 5, while workshop productions of four new plays written by women are also playing there at various times. The Athena Project Arts Festival has been running and continues into April, celebrating new art created by women. Karen Grassle, who stars in “Harm’s Way,” is best known for her role as Caroline Ingalls, the mother, in the “Little House on the Prairie” television series from 19741982, and she has appeared in many movies. She plays Maggie, in a play set in the first decade of the 21st century, when security concerns are at a peak. She arrives in Paris to visit her son and his wife, in a fragmented state. Is she just jet-lagged and confused — or a security risk? Her son blocks attempts to find out, but his French wife insists on solving the puzzling behavior — at a risk. This play runs through April 5 at 8 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Monday, March 30 and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $22/$20, 303-739-1970, AthenaProjectFestival.org.

Ag day celebrated with showcase dishes Golf-course chef wins first place for lamb street tacos By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado celebrated National Agriculture Day at the Capitol in Denver with food that showcased products grown and raised in the state. Chefs Danny Flanagan and Rhett Mon-

tague of Sanctuary Golf Club in Sedalia took part March 18, each preparing a dish that showcased a local ingredient. “We get paired with a senator or representative and then a producer,” Flanagan said. “A lot of the producers will bring down a showcase rancher or family. With the senators, most of them are tied into something agricultural. It’s amazing to see how involved they are. Some of the people are from rural communities where that’s a big part of life.” Montague won the tasting competition

in 2014 with pulled pork. He was able to defend his title this year with lamb street tacos that utilized Colorado lamb and tortillas made from local corn. “Everybody wants that pat on the back from their peers saying ‘You killed this dish. That was awesome,’” Montague said. Flanagan was paired with the Colorado Wheat Council and made a carrot cake. They pair fed close to 600 people. “Everybody is there, and all of the aides and all of the lobbyists,” Flanagan said. “So it gives the senators and reps who really

have a lot staked in agriculture their one big day to remind those that come from, let’s say, Denver or Aurora about how much agriculture means to the state of Colorado.” According to the pair of chefs, there is one ag day compliment that stands above all others. “Oh, Gov. Hickenlooper. You want to be the one he mentions,” Flanagan said. “He does know food. He’s not just a foodie, as far as he’s gone to a bunch of charity dinners. It’s where he got his start at. He’s been in the business.”

Mountain Vista girls coming on strong With more than 20 goals in past four games, team is flexing its muscles By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Mountain Vista’s girls soccer team, after a slow start, has quickly been polishing off teams in the past four games. The Golden Eagles hurriedly boarded the team bus and left Douglas County Stadium after a 5-0 Continental League win over Castle View on a chilly March 19 evening. It was Mountain Vista’s fourth consecutive victory and improved the team’s overall mark to 4-2-0 after the team was scoreless in early season setbacks to Grandview and Pine Creek. Vista improved to 2-0-0 in the Continental League. “Yeah we did have trouble scoring,” admitted Vista coach Theresa Echtermeyer. “It’s hard to pull a team together in a short of period of time, and there was all kind of bad weather. We’re getting better every game and it’s a long season.” Vista has scored 22 goals in the past four games and recorded 79 of the team’s 103 shots in the four wins. And, it helps to have junior Mallory Pugh back from her commitments with the U.S. national Under 20 team. Pugh has seven goals and four assists in three games. Vista took a 4-0 first half lead over Castle View and cruised to an easy win. “Mountain Vista is a very good team,” said Castle View coach Perry Glantz. “They are super skilled and we had a hard time getting around them and getting our head around the game. We were a little flabbergasted early, made a couple early mistakes

Mountain Vista’s Peyton Joseph dribbles around Grace Perry of Castle View during the Golden Eagles’ 5-0 Continental League victory over the Sabercats March 19 at Douglas County Stadium. Photo by Jim Benton and our heads were spinning. “In the second half we calmed down and showed a little more of how we could play. They may have had their foot off the gas a little bit at that point, but I thought we played a lot better in the second half.”

Pugh scored twice against Castle View. Senior Megan Massey and sophomore Haley Schueppert each had a goal and assist. Sophomore Mia Bonifazi had the first Vista goal just 3:43 into the game. Besides Pugh, Massey has five goals and

14 points and Bonifazi has tallied three times and has eight points. “The league games are the most important,” said Echtermeyer. “We’d like to get the league title back. We’re working hard towards that.”

Four individual state champions from south metro school will be back to defend titles. Cherry Creek senior Jordyn Colter won both the Class 5A 800- and 1,600-meter runs. She will be seeking her third consecutive titles in each event. Lutheran’s Chris Youngs was also a double winner last season, winning the Class 2A 100 and 200-meter dashes. Ben Morgan of Highlands Ranch is the defending Class 5A long jump champion and Valor Christian’s Haley Showalter won the Class 4A discus title. Lutheran’s boys 4x400 relay team ran first last May but only Kent Harris returns from the team. Cherry Creek’s boys won the Class 5A championship in 4X400 relay and Elizabeth boys were the Class 4A champs in the 4x100 relay. Other things to note for this season: • One CHSAA major change is that one qualifying meet per team will be allowed on the 12th week prior to the state meet, whether it is a league meet or invitational. • The state meet for all classes will be May 14-16 at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood. • Starting heights and increments have been set for the high jump and pole vault. For high jump warm ups, the bar will be set four inches below the last qualifier’s height. At the start of competition, the bar will be at two inches below the last qualifier’s height, and there will be two inch increments until five jumpers remain. Then, the increment will be one inch. • Pole vault warm-ups will start 12 inches below the last qualifier’s height and six inches below the last qualifier’s height at the start. There will be six-inch increments until there are five finalists and then three-inch increments. The following is a list of most individual athletes who qualified for last year’s state meet. Returning relay team members may not be included.

There are many Colorado high school athletic directors that favor adding a third classification for girls golf, and so far the use of the Modified Stableford scoring system has landed in a bunker. Athletic directors who responded to a recent CHSAA survey preferred adding another classification to girls golf, tennis and swimming. According to the CHSAA, 74.2 percent of the ADs that responded answered yes when asked if an additional class should be added. This spring there are 154 golf teams competing in two classes with 77 teams in each classification. Girls golf and tennis have the highest number of teams in each class of any sport. There is a new Classification and League Organization Committee movement that seeks to evenly divide teams among classifications. The committee’s report needs to be approved at January’s Legislative Council meeting. If golf should add a new class, there would be 51 teams in each classification. Should the CLOC report be approved in January, the three sports could add another class starting with the 2016-17 season. Stroke play will be used this golf season after the CHSAA’s golf committee decided not to use a Modified Stableford Scoring system. It was recommended that tournaments use the system at their own discretion during the regular season, and that data would be used to study if a change could be made for 2016. Utah currently uses the Stableford system, which awards points for strokes in relation to par on a hole. A golfer can pick up after reaching a stroke limit on a hole, which could speed up play. CHSAA research determined that using the Modified Stableford system would not have changed the results of the Top 10 finishers at last year’s Class 4A and 5A state tournaments. The CHSAA also golf committee implemented three new rules: • Competitive varsity rosters must be entered in iWanamaker.com at a cost of $10 each for the rostered golfers. • The definition of coaching has been amended to say that once a player reaches the green to putt, the coach must retreat to 10 yards from the green. • A new spectator policy has changed. A spectator can’t be in the fairway and no closer than 10 yards to any player at all times, except from green to tee. Assistant coaches without passes are considered spectators. The state tournaments are scheduled for May 18-19.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF MARCH 23, 2015

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A pesky health problem should clear up soon. Meanwhile, travel -- both for personal as well as for business reasons -- is strong in the Aries aspect this week, and well into the next. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Look for Bovines to be on the move this week, whether it’s traveling for fun or for business. Other “moves” include workplace adjustments and, for some, relationship changes. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Geminis who have just gone through a hectic period involving job and/or family matters might want to take some well-earned time out to relax and restore those drained energy levels.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) A romantic situation seems to have stalled, just when the Moon Child was expecting it to go forward. Could that be a bad case of miscommunication going on. Talk it over openly and honestly. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Showing a genuine interest in something that’s important to a friend, family member or colleague could open a communication line that had been pretty much shut down for a while. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Making a potentially lifechanging decision takes as much knowledge as you can gather, plus determination and patience. Take your time working it out. Don’t let anyone rush you. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You should be back on schedule and heading in the right direction after clearing up a misunderstanding. But there could still be some setbacks. If so, correct them immediately. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A business matter keeps you pretty busy, but try to squeeze in time to be with family as well as close friends. You need the good vibrations you get from people who care for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Investing in an attractive prospect (business or personal) with little or no information can be risky. Avoid future problems by getting all the facts before you act. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Someone close to you might have an unexpected reaction to a decision you feel you’re prepared to make. Listen to his or her point of view. It could prove to be surprisingly helpful. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Don’t give up yet. That once warm, personal relationship that seems to be cooling off fast could recover with some tender, loving care, and who better than you to provide it? PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Career matters are strong this week. You might want to enter a training program to enhance your skills. Also, consider getting professional help in preparing a brilliant resume. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of respecting the feelings of others, which is one reason people feel comfortable having you in their lives. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
