County property values on rise Notices to be mailed; first round of appeals due June 1 By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Home values in Douglas County are on the rise across the board, which will mean higher property taxes for many. The county will be mailing out newly calculated notices of property value May 1. The largest percentage of homes in the county falls into the $300,000-$450,000 range. Those homes, on average, have seen an 18.5 percent increase in value since the last valuation period two years ago, according to the county. Home in the $150,000-300,000 range show an average increase in value of 22 percent and homes under $150,000 have shown an average increase of 28 percent. “Condominiums and townhouses have seen the greatest increases,” said Lisa Frizell, county assessor. “That makes sense because they saw the greatest decreases during the recession, so they had the furthest to come back up.” According to recent data by the Douglas El-

bert Realtor Association, the median price of a single-family home in Douglas County in 2014 was $375,000 and the median sale price of a townhouse or condo was $224,000. Colorado state law requires that each county reappraise property values every two years, and 2015 is a reappraisal year. The state requires that appraisals by the county examine data from a specific two-year period from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2014. According to Frizell, the biggest drivers of value are square footage, location and the construction quality of the house. “I encourage all property owners to review the sales in their area,” Frizell said. “When they get their notice of value, I would want them to double-check their property characteristics. We have a number of tools on our website for them to look at the sales in their area and make sure that their value makes sense. We want it to be right. That’s the most important thing.” Property owners can look up their homes and compare and review at douglas.co.us/assessor. If property owners find a dispute in their valuation, they can appeal to the county. Values continues on Page 9

The trial of a man suspected of leading police on a 75-mile chase and injuring a state trooper began with testimony from 850KOA radio’s traffic reporter, who witnessed most of the March 2014 morning rush-hour flight on metro-area highways. Ryan Stone faces 25 counts in the 90-minute pursuit that started in Longmont with the alleged theft of a car that contained a 4-year-old boy and ended in northern Douglas County with a multi-car crash and foot chase. A Colorado State Patrol trooper Stone also was seriously injured when he attempted to stop a car Stone allegedly was driving — which brought about the most serious charge against Stone, attempted first-degree murder. Other charges include first-degree assault and second-degree kidnapping. John Morrissey broadcast most of the chase live from the KOA helicopter, with television stations picking up the story. “It’s just amazing to me no one was hurt — other than the trooper — or killed because there were so many instance when the vehicle was so close to other traffic, either in a head-on situation or driving on the shoulder or median, (going the) wrong way,” Morrissey said in court April 21. “We don’t see that sort of thing in Denver. To see a vehicle doing that kind of maneuvering in traffic was crazy.” Stone, 29 of Centennial, who has previously appeared in court wearing a striped jail uniform, wore a gray suit, tie and a fresh haircut for the first day of the scheduled two-week Douglas County District Court trial. The jury heard from Morrissey, and firefighter Mike Major, among others. Major, who works for the City of Longmont, said Stone approached the fire truck on which he was an officer at about 5 a.m. March 12. Stone appeared cold and looked as though he’d been out all night, Major testified. He asked the firefighter for a ride, and Major offered to take him to a city warming station. “I remember him saying something about having issues with his girlfriend, having been kicked out,” Major said. “He was very talkative. It seemed like he had a lot of energy for five o’clock in the morning, was my thought.” En route to the warming shelter, Major testified Stone asked instead to be dropped off at a convenience store. Firefighters dropped him off at the Bradley gas station, from which the first of several vehicles Stone allegedly stole was taken less than an hour later. That Ford Edge, left running while the female driver went inside the store, contained the woman’s 4-year-old son. Major said he connected the man he’d picked up with the auto theft and kidnapping when the call about the incidents came into the fire station at about 6:30 a.m. Jurors also spent about an hour April 21 watching the video of the chase. Prosecuting attorneys emphasized the video evidence and the driver’s repeated Stone continues on Page 9

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

HOST FAMILIES NEEDED About 15 foreign exchange students with Youth for Understanding will be coming to the south-metro area for school next year, and they are in need of host families. The goal is to match the international students with a host family by June, for their arrival in early August.

By Christy Steadman

csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

Terri and Rich Elms aren’t called mom and dad just by their five children, but by at least 15 international students as well. “I call it 15 kids and counting,” Terri said. “They become a friend, and a family member.” The Elms have been a host family with Youth for Understanding, a nonprofit international educational organization, since 1992. With this year’s two exchange students, the Elms household in Highlands Ranch consists of: Faith, 9; Adrianna, 11; Conner, 14; Madison, 15; and Makayla, 17; and Emi Osada, 17, of Japan; and Jens Krause, 16, of Germany. When the students first arrive, they probably feel like visitors, said Terri, the organization’s south-metro area coordinator. But then relationships form and they become part of the family, a connection that lasts long after they return to their home countries. On average, Youth for Understanding brings about 2,000 high school students, ages 15 through 18, from about 60 different countries each school year. Students can participate in any course offerings and extracurricular activities, with the only classes the organization requires being English and American history. “Not everybody can have two homes, in two different countries,” Osada said. “I have one brother in Japan, but now I have six siblings.” In Europe, a person sees American culture in movies, Krause said, but “you don’t really know what it’s like until you experience it.” “They come here to live and experience everyday life,” Terri said. And “your ordinary life is extraordinary to an exchange student. For them, each experience is unique.” But the experience is unique for the host family’s children, also. “Our normal, everyday routine is so special to share with them,” Madison said. “We wouldn’t have those experiences without them.”

Host families provide a bedroom, which can be shared with a person of the same gender and near the same age, a study area, three meals a day and access to transportation. Families may host up to two students per school year.

Back row, from left, host dad Rich, Makayla, 17; Jens Krause, 16, of Germany; and Conner, 14. Photo by Christy Steadman Faith likes teaching the international students to make s’mores. Adrianna likes having water-balloon fights in the backyard. And Conner and Jens go mountain biking quite a bit. In fact, Jens brought his bike from Germany. “Seeing the students’ reactions when they get to experience something new,” is Makayla’s favorite part — such as when they try peanut butter or root beer for the first time. The Elms value family time in the evenings, after homework is done, Rich said. Often, it is spent in the kitchen, talking about the day, doing crafts or cooking meals together. “There’s a lot of energy in the kitchen,” he said. Saying goodbye at the end of the school year is often the most difficult part about the experience for exchange students and host families, Terri said. But sometimes the farewell isn’t forever. During the 2012-13 school year, the Elms hosted an exchange student from Japan named Ataka Inuoe, who paid the family a surprise visit in February. “He walked through the front door, just as if he was family,” Terri said. “Although he had been gone for three years, he still had a piece of American culture in him.”

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

CLARIFICATION An article about Jeb Bush’s visit to Denver incorrectly stated that Douglas County School Board vice president Doug Benevento missed the April 7 work session to introduce Bush at the Brown Palace. Benevento said he missed the work session for personal reasons, not because of the Bush event.

Union-backed school survey finds distress

Board president says low response rate shows group’s irrelevance By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com A Douglas County School District staff survey commissioned by the teachers’ union showed low morale, dissatisfaction with district administration and a lack of support for the district’s performanceevaluation system, among other findings. About 800 of the 5,000 employees who were invited to take the anonymous survey did so — a response rate of about 16 percent. A total of 698 of those respondents were teaching staff. The report from the Denverbased Strategies 360 research firm said faith in the district has “plummeted” since 2012 to a level of dis-

satisfaction that is “not sustainable.” “What Douglas County has done to this district is to weaken every aspect of it,” said Courtney Smith, president of the Douglas County Federation. “They’ve taken a destination district and, in five years, essentially destroyed it.” Douglas County School Board President Kevin Larsen said the response rate does not represent a cross-section of employees, rendering the results inconclusive. Strategies 360’s report said the number of respondents “is not necessarily statistically representative of the full population of teachers and staff in DCSD,” but that “a sample size of 800 is robust enough to make well-informed assessments about attitudes across the district.” “The only thing I can conclude from it reasonably is that the union is trying to continue to be involved in affairs of the district,” Larsen said. “And two, that’s it’s now quite

Have you been told you need a CROWN?

HOW THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED Douglas County Federation staff handdistributed invitations to nearly 3,000 teachers and about 2,000 classified personnel across the district. Each anonymous respondent accessed the online survey with a passcode that could only be used once. Passcodes were distributed only to Douglas County School District teachers and staff. Strategies 360 staff collected the data; the DCF had access only to the results. Source: Strategies 360’s April 13, 2015 Summary of Findings on the DCSD teachers and staff survey apparent to me that the Douglas County Federation has become irrelevant to more than 80 percent of the teachers in the district.” Union continues on Page 7

FINDINGS OF SCHOOL SURVEY What respondents said

The school district responds

• Fewer than 10 percent agree that the reforms implemented by the current district leadership have resulted in increased learning for students.

“We value our employee’s thoughts, which is why we have paid our teachers $4.79 million over the past three years in Pay for Performance monies to collaboratively create modern curriculum and assessment systems, teacher evaluation tools, staff development courses and professional growth opportunities,” said Paula Hans, district spokeswoman. “We appreciate the feedback. However, our data show that professional pay is important for our students, as it attracts and retains the best educators and leaders — the number one and two factors in student success. We have been able to retain 94 percent of our Highly Effective and 90.4 percent of our Effective teachers.”

• Three-quarters of teachers and more than seven in 10 staﬀ members feel that current DCSD policies do not encourage them to collaborate with each other. • Less than one-quarter feel satisfied with their working conditions. • Ninety-five percent of teachers do not support the district’s pay-forperformance or world-class targets approach to compensation. • Ninety percent do not have confidence in Elizabeth Fagen as the district’s superintendent.

Local Girl Scouts earn Gold Awards Two local teenagers earned their Girl Scout Gold Awards and touched many lives along the way. Dana Ruby, who lives in Acres Green, and Lone Tree’s Rachel Jeffries helped bring food and clothing to disadvantaged populations in the Denver metro area.

Dana Ruby, Acres Green

“I really wanted to focus on providing lower-income families with clothing because it’s an overlooked need,” said Dana, a Highlands Ranch High School senior. Dana learned that half of all families in Denver’s Warren Village program made $8,000 a year or less, leaving them precious little money to spend on clothing. Dana, who’s passionate about fashion, believes the right clothing can boost confidence, helping lead to a better job and ultimately, an improved quality of life. “I wanted to focus on confidence and self-esteem,” she said. “When I’m wearing an outfit I’m confident in, I feel way more confident to tackle the day. I wanted to provide that opportunity for the people in Warren Village, especially the kids.” She also wanted to hold an event to give the residents a sense of dignity. Instead of digging through bins of clothing, Dana created a store atmosphere with clothes carefully arranged and displayed on hangers. Residents received a limited number of tickets they could exchange for items.

Rachel Jeffries, Lone Tree

Valor Christian High School senior Rachel Jeffries set out to tackle an issue that impacts every community, regardless of economics. “People generally think hunger is an issue that’s only in Third World countries, definitely not in Highlands Ranch,” she said. “But it’s something that touches

everywhere.” As part of her Gold Award project, Rachel organized a food drive at the school to benefit the St. Elizabeth Food Pantry at Highlands Ranch’s Pax Christi Catholic Church. Before stocking those items at the pantry, Rachel and several classmates posted positive messages on them, aimed at fulfilling the Gold Award’s mission of encouraging

Among the messages: “Your worth isn’t determined by your situation,” and a Bible verse, “For I know the plans I have for you.” The food pantry is a new addition at Pax Christi. While Rachel originally had planned to work with the Denver Rescue Mission, “I figured it would be more worthwhile to work with Pax Christi. Denver Rescue Mission is so well established. And Pax Christi’s food pantry is new.” In addition to helping others, Rachel’s project helped her grow and change in positive ways. “As a person who usually prefers for

“It impacted the child residents through providing them with clothing, but it also gave the feeling of accomplishment to the parents (because) they were able to provide their children with a sometimes overlooked need,” she said. “People were telling me how appreciative they were. That’s when I knew I was making a difference, and it wasn’t just about doing something for the Gold Award.” The project, which Dana said was “rewarding but exhausting,” also gave her a renewed sense of gratitude for her home. “I have lived a pretty privileged life,” she said. “I realize how fortunate I’ve been to not have to think about where my next meal will be, or having an inconsistent living situation.”

things to be very neatly structured, I learned that I can adapt when things do not necessarily go according to plan and still fulfill my initial purpose,” she said. “Also, I am not one who is comfortable speaking in front of others or reaching out to new people, so this project stretched me because I had to communicate with various groups in order to coordinate food drives and the sticker volunteer event.” Rachel’s project raised awareness of the new pantry, and she hopes it provided the boost it needs to successfully continue with its mission.

Union Continued from Page 4

Smith said current union membership is at about 50 percent of eligible district staff, which includes teachers and some nonteaching staff. She declined to provide a specific number. Union membership was about 70 percent in 2012. DCSD’s longstanding contract with the teachers’ union expired in 2012 after a lengthy negotiation. District leaders have since implemented a series of controversial reform policies, including pay for performance and marketbased pay. Once done annually, the district hasn’t conducted its own survey since 2012, when DCSD discounted the 6 percent response rate as too small to be statistically valid. School board members repeatedly have said they are considering a survey, and Larsen reiterated that April 17. “We’re going to look into what the right approach (would be) to get the feedback we think will be valid,” he

said, adding: “The Colorado TELL survey is going to be out. I think that has better control and participation. We can see what the feedback is there.” The TELL — Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning — survey is a statewide, anonymous educators’ survey. Fifty-one percent of teachers participated in the 2015 TELL Colorado survey, and results will be available in late May. While the TELL survey’s website says its main intent is to provide data for school and district improvements, and to inform state-level policy, Smith said the state survey’s questions don’t address district-level issues. The union commissioned its own survey because DCSD hasn’t done so, she said. “Employees need to be heard,” she said. “And they need to do a parent survey. The community has been asking over and over again for a parent and community survey; they refuse to do that. I think they’re afraid of the results.” Smith said the local teachers’ union used grant money from the American Federation of Teachers to fund the $3,000 cost of the survey.

OPINION

April 23, 2015

O U R S

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

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

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

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

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

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

Plan could fix veterans’ health care system Want to know how the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital system is doing? Colorado residents need only look to the VA hospital under construction in Aurora. It is now years behind schedule, and the VA says it needs hundreds of millions of additional tax dollars to continue construction. Never mind that the hospital’s initial $328 million price tag has now ballooned to $1.73 billion. This fiasco is just one of many problems that have plagued veterans’ care in the state of Colorado. Shortly after the Phoenix VA scandal erupted last year, we learned that VA staffers in Colorado were also guilty of falsifying data and keeping secret wait lists to make average patient wait times look better. And amazingly, VA officials knew staffers were cooking the books as far back as 2013, yet failed to address it, according to CNN. In response to these scandals, Congress passed and funded the Veterans Access, Accountability and Care Act of 2014, but as of

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

cracy, the VHA struggles with change and worries about survival and relevance. Demographics alone assure these worries will not subside. VA projects that the sheer number of veterans will decline drastically during the next 20 years. And with the passing of Vietnam-era veterans like me, a much smaller percentage of veterans will seek and/or be entitled to care through the VA. Given these truths, VA health care must either be blended into America’s civilian sector, or it will inevitably become dramatically more expensive per patient, more incompetent, more inconvenient or, more likely, suffer a combination of these three ills. VAACA, though well-intended, is an expensive and inefficient attempt to address only the wait time and inconvenience symptoms of VHA’s basic, legacy malaise. What’s been needed for some time is funVeterans continues on Page 9

Parker deaths spark community concern By Jane Reuter

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

room-only meeting at the PACE Center and also created a Facebook page, “A bright future for Parker,” as places “to begin the dialog on the current epidemic in Parker of both teen and adult suicide.” “I felt compelled as Parker’s mayor because now I can honestly say that everyone in Parker has been touched by this,” he said. “In the last week, I’ve had three citizens take their lives. Last year, we had 48 citizens in Douglas County take their lives.” With Waid moderating, adults and teens lined up four deep on both sides of the room to speak into microphones about their experiences with suicide and depression. Among the many who spoke during the Parker meeting was J.D. Nash, whose 16-year-old son Jonathon died by suicide in November 2014. Nash, who’s also struggled with depression and thoughts of suicide, said his son “gave no perceptible outward signs of his angst.” Nash wrote the word “stigma” on a sandwich board at the front of the event room, and drew a red slash through it. “There should be no more stigma attached to emotional pain … than a broken leg,” he said. Waid was gratified by the turnout but said more needs to be done. The next step in the process hasn’t yet been determined. “One of the challenges I issued to everyone is that instead of waiting for someone above you — the town of Parker, Douglas County, the state — to present you with a solution they think is best, take charge and affect a change at your level,” he said. “Talk to one person today, help someone who

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

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

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

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

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

• Acting irritable or agitated • Showing rage, or talking about seeking revenge for being victimized or rejected, whether or not the situations the person describes seem real

• Talking about a specific suicide plan • Feeling hopeless or having no reason to live • Feeling trapped, desperate, or needing to escape from an intolerable situation • Having the feeling of being a burden to others

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

Appeal to county Board of Equalization These appeals must be filed with the county Board of Equalization between Sept. 1 and 15 for both real property and personal property. County Board of Equalization conducts hearing and notifies the taxpayer of its decision in writing within five business days.

damental VHA reform that both improves care for veterans and saves tax dollars. That’s where the Veterans Independence Act comes in. Proposed by Concerned Veterans for America and its partners in the Fixing Veterans Health Care Taskforce, this proposed law would effect real and permanent VHA reform. First and foremost, the Veterans Independence Act would expand veterans’ health care choices. At present, veterans need the VA’s approval to use their health care benefits, and it rarely allows them to seek private treatment. The Veterans Independence Act allows veterans to use VA benefits at private practices wherever and whenever they want. It separates the VA’s payor and provider functions, greatly lessening VA’s bureaucratic tendency to protect its budget by finding more and more things to spend it on. The Veterans Independence Act would move the VA’s provider function (the hospitals, clinics, staff, equipment, etc.) into

three options available within 30 days of the decision. File an appeal with the Board of Assessment Appeals. File a lawsuit against the county Board of Equalization in district court. Agree to binding arbitration with the county Board of Equalization. Board of Assessment Appeals and district court decisions can be appealed to the Colorado Court of Appeals.

The defense had suggested Stone experienced a methamphetamine-induced psychosis that influenced his actions, and a toxicology test showed he tested positive for meth, marijuana and Lorazepam, an antianxiety medication. But a judge rejected voluntary intoxication as a defense during an April 2 hearing. Stone was arrested in an unincorporated part of the county off Lincoln Avenue, between Lone Tree and Parker. The trial was expected to last up to two weeks.

a not-for-profit, quasi-private entity that would compete for veterans’ health dollars and have the independence to make management decisions to increase efficiency, quality and customer service. Basically, the Veterans Independence Act puts the veteran in the driver’s seat. Either go to the VA or go elsewhere: It’s the vet’s call, not the bureaucrat’s. For the Veterans Independence Act to become law, we need Colorado’s 390,000 veterans to join together to fight for it. Concerned Veterans for America intends to lead that fight — and I hope you’ll join them. We shared this important reform in Denver on April 17. CVA and others who share their concerns showed local veterans and military families how the Veterans Independence Act would help them secure the wellbeing they were promised. Together, we can ensure that Colorado’s veterans get quality health care when and where they need it — not after years of delays and billions of wasted dollars. Former Congressman Jim Marshall (DGeorgia, 2003-2011) is a past president of the United States Institute of Peace and a member of the United States Army Ranger Hall of Fame.

Individuals who show such behaviors should be evaluated for possible suicide risk by a medical doctor or mental health professional.

might need it.” A simple acknowledgement can make a difference, he said. “The person working the line at Disneyland — people don’t notice them. They just walk by them,” he said. “When you stop and say thank you, you’ve just given them visibility. We all want that sense of purpose and acknowledgement in life.” Cole, who lost her Highlands Ranch High School son David to suicide in 2009, said education also is key. “There are lots of tools out there,” she said. “It’s not as though one is better than the other. So much is about execution and awareness and really trying to get upstream. It’s great that we’re tipping the scales in terms of more knowledge; it’s unfortunate it takes tragedy to do that.”

SUICIDE FACTS Suicide is highest among Caucasians, American Indians and Alaskans, and lowest among Asians, African-Americans and Hispanics. At least 90 percent of all people who died by suicide had a mental illness at the time, most often depression. In 2013, the highest suicide rate was among men 45 to 64 years old. Suicide rates tend to be highest in the spring months, peaking in April. They are below average during the winter months, and lowest in December.

Changes to assessed property values will go into effect in 2016. “If someone thinks we’ve made a mistake, we want them to appeal,” Frizell said. “We want to make sure we have the most accurate values we can and we really do want to get it right.”

Former principal proposes K-12 charter

Milestone Academy would implement Core Knowledge curriculum By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com A K-12 charter school that its founder said would emphasize “purpose-driven education” could open in Castle Rock in 2016. Proponent Merlin Holmes hasn’t yet secured a site for the proposed Milestone Academy, but an application for the school is under review by the Douglas County School District. About 30 people came to the Castle Rock library April 13 to learn more about the school, one of six schools Holmes aims to open in 2016 along the Front Range under the name Capstone Collegiate Academies. Holmes was the principal at both SkyView and Aspen View Academies; his contracts with both schools were terminated. If approved, Milestone Academy would be the first charter high school in Castle Rock. Parker’s Colorado Early Colleges, Highlands Ranch’s SkyView and STEM academies already offer high school options in Douglas County. DCSD also is reviewing a proposal for John Adams High School, which is seeking a site in Highlands Ranch. Holmes said Milestone Academy would implement the Core Knowledge curriculum for its elementary school students. Core Knowledge is built around the idea that students need to learn a core body of knowledge to become culturally literate. Students would be required to wear uniforms through eighth grade, and adhere to a “modest dress code” in high school. “Our high school will be a college prep high school,” Holmes said. “It will be designed so students get the classes they need to enter any college they want to go to, (and learn) what’s going to prepare them to be successful in college, not just get into college.” At its peak, the high school would have no more than a total of 600 students. It also would offer “vibrant activities,” Holmes said, including athletics, art, music, theater and clubs. “We won’t be able to offer every sport,” he said. “And we probably won’t be state champions the first year. (But) we’ll be competitive.”

Holmes defined a purpose-driven education. “Another way of saying that is we want students to achieve their dreams,” he said. “We think as a school it’s our job to work with you, the parents and students, to give you all the skills, knowledge, character and integrity to go and be whoever you want to be.” Holmes is not new to the charter school process, or to Douglas County. The Monument resident was the first principal of Colorado Springs’ The Classical Academy, and has led Highlands Ranch’s SkyView Academy, Castle Rock’s Aspen View Academy and Elizabeth’s Legacy Academy. He also was a Colorado Department of Education charter school consultant. “All the schools I’ve started have done very well academically and culturally,” he said. Milestone will operate according to a “student-centered” partnership model, with the academy board, parents, school district and Capstone Collegiate working together. Holmes said the model includes checks and balances. “Each group has their role,” Holmes said. “This is designed to make sure no one group has all the power. He said a management board would pay Capstone to hire and pay teachers. “All the things a normal district board would hire a principal to do,” Holmes said. “I will be the executive director of the school. I will hire a principal, and the principal and I together will hire the staff.” Though the Douglas County School District must approve the charter, Holmes said: “In this district, the district board here is very strong on charter autonomy.” Holmes said he had “very, very few serious issues” with the other charter schools he helped launch. “Budgetwise, the last two schools are very successful,” he said, referring to Aspen View and SkyView. “We’ve put money into things that really matter.” Two of the parents in attendance liked the sound of Milestone Academy. “I like the idea of a charter high school,” said Emily Srasiak, parent of three. “I think it’s great,” said Laura Hogzett, who has three children and is expecting her fourth. “If they went to the same school (through high school), wouldn’t that be perfect?”

School backer no stranger to Douglas County Charter school proponent’s contract with three charters terminated By Jane Reuter

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

cessor. He believed that prior individual discussions with (other board members) constituted approval.” The board then moved to terminate Holmes’ at-will contract immediately. The SkyView Academy board moved to terminate Holmes’ executive director contract in January 2013. Holmes was executive director of the Highlands Ranch school from 2010-13. The motion to approve Holmes’ contract termination is documented in SkyView minutes, but no details are provided. Representatives of both schools said they could not comment on the actions because they are confidential personnel issues. In February 2003, Holmes was fired from his post as the first principal of Colorado Springs’ Classical Academy High School. The Classical Academy’s elementary principal was fired simultaneously. The school’s president said then the board had unanimously agreed to make changes in the school’s leadership. Holmes also was principal at Legacy Academy in Elizabeth in 2005-06, when the school was called Elbert County Charter School. Staff there said he left on his own to start another school. He also worked for National Heritage Academies, a charter school management organization based in Michigan, as its director of partner relations from 2006-09. Holmes told parents who attended an April 13 meeting on his proposed Castle Rock charter he’s had “very, very few serious issues” with the schools he has run in the past. “All the schools I’ve started have done very well academically and culturally,” he said. “The waitlist for all five of the schools I’ve started is still very large. “If you put your kids in this school, I’m 95 percent confident you’ll really be appreciative of this school. One of the things that is important to me is that five, 10 years from now, when your kids are in our school and you think back to this meeting, you’ll say, `They worked really hard to do what Merlin promised.’”

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

Elder Manning, Griese at event

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

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Sunlight pours through a picture window, lending a brilliant gleam to Willard Mounts’ crystal-clear blue eyes. They are the knowing eyes of someone who has seen it all, and they are intensely present while he recalls his youth, complete with dates and minute details. Willard pauses his storytelling as, one after another, visitors stop by his recliner to wish him a happy 100th birthday. Willard greets them with a friendly elbow-bump — an effective way of avoiding germs — and confesses that he isn’t feeling too well. He is fighting the excruciating pain of shingles, which first arrived on his 100th birthday a few weeks earlier and caused him to postpone the party until April 12. But in spite of not sleeping well the night before, Willard is jovial and sharp as ever, and he is surrounded by family and friends at his daughter’s rural home on Parker’s eastern flank. They are marking the occasion with style and plenty of good food. Willard is eager to talk about his days growing up in coal-mining country on the border of West Virginia and Kentucky. For those who want the long version, they can read the first part of his 67-page autobiography, which is being given to any guest who wants one. He has written three books, including a 400-year history of the families of Daniel Boone and Abraham Lincoln that’s in its third printing. Willard is not just a writer; he is a devoted consumer of books. “I still read every day now,” he says. Incredibly, he does this without the aid of glasses. Cataract surgery saw to that. Willard was a longtime presence at the local library after he retired as a comptroller in 1980, and now he calls employees on the phone when he wants some information. Most recently, he inquired about John Denver’s hometown and final resting place. Willard doesn’t know the helpful employees from Douglas County Libraries by name, but they know him, and a handful even attended his 100th birthday party. At times, Willard seems surprised by his own longevity and ability to do everyday

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

City Park Jazz’s 29th season Willard Mounts, 100, signs his autobiography for a relative during his birthday party April 12. tasks. “Do you know any 100-year-olds that still write?” he asks while signing his autobiography for a relative. When someone answers that they, in fact, don’t know any 100-year-olds at all, he responds: “I’m the only one I ever knew, too.” Willard attributes his long life to several factors, and the first suggestion he has for people who want the same is “never worry about anything,” he says. He says healthy eating, an active lifestyle, and a constant thirst for knowledge are important. His daughter, Linda Williams, points out that “the Lord has a lot to do with it.” Willard was driving up until three years ago, and a fall limited his ability to get around easily. But he still goes to church every Sunday, and rides an exercise bike and lifts weights regularly. The man who was born just three years after the Titanic sank is no stranger to adventure. He served as a Boy Scout master for 32 years, and even arranged for a group of Scouts to travel to Russia shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. His outgoing and inquisitive personality has afforded him the chance to do some improbable things. Williams recalls the

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

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

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

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Game summary: Highlands Ranch scored early and often on the cold, windy afternoon of April 15 and snapped a twogame Continental League losing streak with a 12-11 victory over host Ponderosa. Senior designated hitter Andrew Liffrig belted a grand slam home run to cap an eight-run fourth inning which gave Highlands Ranch a 12-6 lead and the Falcons held on to claim the victory. “Our boys can swing it, and when they see somebody they like, they swing it,” said Falcons coach Joseph Gleason. Ponderosa had to call ace lefthander Bryan King, the league’s strikeout leader, into the game in the fourth inning in relief of Austin Narro who took over in the fourth from starter Alan Jeanjaquet. Key moments: Nick Shumpert, the league’s leading hitter, tripled to lead off the Falcons’ fourth inning. A double by Quin-

ton Bonell, a hit batter and two walks set the stage for Liffrig to add more damage to the two runs already scored in the inning. “We had a lot of guys that put some good ABs (at bats) together, and all of a sudden I’m up there with the bases load and got a fastball and hit it out,” said Liffrig. “It was a slugfest and anytime you can go out and put some runs up, that’s how you win games.” Michael Forienza’s two-run single capped the outburst and the Falcons survived a two-run homer by Nate Whalen in the bottom of the seventh to hold off the scrappy Mustangs. Key players/statistics: Highlands Ranch was outhit 13-8, but Ponderosa couldn’t recover from the early deficit. Shumpert had two hits and two stolen bases to give him 18 steals so far this season. He is hitting .686. Morgan McIntosh also had two hits for the Falcons. Ryder Ghidotti, Dane Grounds and Mitch Halloran each collected two hits for Ponderosa, which lost its second consecutive game. Going forward: The win was the ninth in 12 games for Highlands Ranch and keeps them in the hunt for a possible state playoff berth.

Highlands Ranch takes second at meet Eight schools competed at Cherry Creek Invitational By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Almost 200 athletes from eight schools churned up the waters and, when the final tally was made, Highlands Ranch finished second at the April 17 and 18 Cherry Creek Invitational Swimming and Diving Meet. “We are a consolidated team made up from four Highlands Ranch schools plus from the STEM Charter School. I think the majority are from Rock Canyon or Mountain Vista,” Falcons Coach Christina Kwon said before the meet. “It has been a great season so far and we are looking forward to closing out the schedule the same way.” The event was a two-day meet with preliminary competition held April 17 to determine seeding for the April 18 finals. There were hundreds of athletes representing the eight schools vying for spots in the A, B and C finals on April 18 with a maximum of eight entries per swimming event. There was a lot of focus on the A finals which were the fastest qualifiers. Highlands Ranch got off to a good start, winning the

The Huskies won three individual events and one relay to finish second in the team standings. Photo by Tom Munds first event, taking second in the 200-meter relay. The Falcons regularly finished high in the standings in all events to help Highlands

Ranch earn the points to finish second in the final team standings. Two Falcons won individual events as

Gabriele Sasia finished first in the 100-meter butterfly and teammate Nicholas Tinucci won the 200-meter individual medley. Frank Ruppel was second in the 100-meter backstroke and Max Connor was third in diving. Kwon said the Falcons are a team with depth and good balance with a good mix of freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors who are all contributing to the team success. Junior Daniel Woon has been swimming competitively since he was 5. “My brother was a sprint freestyle swimmer and I am too,” he said. “I like the 50 freestyle the best but my favorite event is the breaststroke. It is a great change of pace but I don’t get to swim it in competition for our team.” He said he is focusing on doing well in the events he does swim and he will keep trying to swim faster in those events than his older brother did. Going forward Highlands Ranch, like other teams, are beginning to make preparation for the two big meets that conclude the boy swimming and diving season. The Falcons will join other teams on May 8 and 9 at the Littleton High School pool for the Continental League varsity championship meet. It is the final tune-up for those who qualify for the season finale, the Class 5A state meet that will be held May 15 and 16 at the Air Force Academy pool.

Brothers givin’ opponents fits Matt and Chris Givin are getting it done in different ways for Rock Canyon By Jim Benton

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Matt Givin respects his older brother Chris, but he doesn’t hesitate to rub it in once in a while. Matt, the sophomore class president at Rock Canyon, will often tell Chris that he managed to get a hit off his brother during practice. Chris is a senior shortstop who has been asked to take over pitching duties for the Jaguars baseball team and has done pretty well. Both Givin brothers have been playing well this season for Rock Canyon, which is off to a 12-2 start. “Chris is normally our starting shortstop and is going to Xavier to

be their shortstop,” said Rock Canyon coach Tyler Munro. “He has some of the best hands I’ve ever seen. He’s a Division I fielder. “Out of necessity, we needed him to be a pitcher for us this year. He’s taken well to it and has obviously been successful thus far, but in order to baby his arm a little, we’ve had to have him DH instead of play shortstop.” Chris Givin is ranked among the Continental League leaders in several categories. He is hitting .647 with a slugging percentage of 1.088 and 18 runs scored in statistics compiled through 14 games. He has two home runs, 12 runs batted in, three stolen bases and a .774 on base percentage. As a starting pitcher this season he has compiled a 1.14 earned run average with four wins and 29 strikeouts in 30.2 innings pitched. “I pitched some last year in relief, but it has gone pretty well this season,” said Chris, who made four

appearances on the mound during the 2014 season in which he hit .349 as a junior. Matt Givin, a third baseman, is hitting .444 with nine RBI. In 90 combined plate appearance the Given brothers have drawn 18 walks, been hit by a pitch eight times, have three sacrifices, and struck out seven times. “Matt is a couple years younger,” said Munro. “He’s come on very strong of late, especially at the plate. I believe he, too, might be a Division I player, but they are very different players and people. “Chris is more vocal and happy go lucky. Matt is more reserved. Chris is more of a singles, speed guy at the plate while Matt may become more of a power hitter. Besides their last names being the same, you really don’t realize they’re brothers playing together. Their one commonality? I truly enjoy coaching both.” Xavier coach Scott Googins was

delighted when Chris Givin signed a letter of intent to attend the Cincinnati school. “Chris is a skilled infielder with all the tools to stay at shortstop at the next level,” he said in a press release. “He handles the bat very well, and as he continues to get stronger, we think he will show legitimate power numbers. His knowledge and passion for the game is evident in the way he plays.” Xavier signed 11 players who will join the Musketeer team next fall, and two were from Colorado. Besides Chris Givin, the other Colorado player signed was pitcher Taylor Williams from Douglas County. This season, Williams is 2-3 in eight appearances and has a 4.42 ERA. He has struck out 33 batters in 31.2 innings pitched. “Taylor is athletic and has a very fast arm,” said Googins. “He has shown us the ability to pound the

strike zone with four pitches. With his continued work and development he should figure into innings right away.’’

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

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

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might find yourself exceptionally sensitive to family matters this week. An issue could come to light that you had overlooked. Ask other kinfolk to discuss it with you. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might have more questions about a project (or perhaps someone you’re dealing with on some level) than you feel comfortable with. If so, see which can be answered, which cannot, and why. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) It’s a good time to clean up and clear out what you don’t need before your tidy self is overwhelmed by “stuff.” Then go celebrate the Virgo victory over clutter with someone special. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel a mite confused about why something you were sure couldn’t go wrong didn’t go all right either. Be patient. Things soon move into balance, exactly as you like it. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) At this decision point, you could be moving from side to side, just to say you’re in motion. Or you could be considering making a move straight up. What you choose is up to you. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Although your finances should be in an improved situation at this time, thrift is still the savvy Sagittarian’s smart move. Advice from a spouse or partner could be worth heeding. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Taking on a new challenge brings out the Goat’s skills in maneuvering over and around difficult spots. Best of all, the Goat does it one careful step after another. (Got the idea, Kid?) AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your wellknown patience might be wearing thin because of a disturbing (and seemingly unending) problem with someone close to you. This could be a time to ask for help. Good luck. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be careful about a new venture that lures you into a “just-look-and-see” mode. Be sure that what you’re being given to see isn’t hiding what you should be seeing instead. BORN THIS WEEK: Aries and Taurus give you the gift of leadership and the blessings of care and concern for all creatures. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
