olo the cat was huddled next to a concrete barrier on an Interstate 25 median during morning rush hour when Lone Tree police officer Andrew Brown and a good Samaritan found him. He was almost eight miles and four days from his home in Parker, his chin scraped, coat dirty, pads raw and claws worn down so significantly his rescuers first thought he was declawed. “He was in a little ball against the concrete wall, with only about two feet between him and thousands of cars going by,” Brown said. “I was scared he was going to run away (from me) and get hit by a car.” But Rolo allowed the officer to pick him up, put him in his patrol car and take him to the Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center.

Mini golf to stay at Lone Tree site ... for now

As crews work to clean up the damage from an April house fire that claimed a man’s life, Rick Young pilots a remote-controlled drone that surveys the site. Young, a firefighter with the Castle Rock Fire Department Investigation Unit, looks for burn patterns and smoke stains — anything that may provide a clue to the cause of the blaze. “It allows us to get a 360-degree view of the site,” said Lt. Patrick Richardson of the Castle Rock Fire Department. “It takes pictures and HD video and really allows us to see the whole structure.” This drone is new — only its second time in use. It belongs to South Metro Fire Rescue, but is available to partnering agencies for investigative purposes. Use of drones for public services is an expanding trend throughout the country, state and Front Range. Law enforcement and first responders are excited about its potential to help investigations — from photographing accident scenes to search-and-rescue operations. “It’s the smart way to do law enforcement,” said Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock, whose department recently received its first drone. However, some citizens and legislators worry about how the new technology will intersect with privacy concerns. Drones continues on Page 11

Entertainment District renovation plans are moving, but slowly By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mini-golf enthusiasts can look forward to another season of play in Lone Tree. The planned sale of the Go Putt! Miniature Golf Course on Park Meadows Drive fell through, and owner Dave Smith has spruced up the course for a new season. A developer had proposed buying Smith’s land to build a five-story luxury apartment complex. Smith, who has owned the business since 2001, repainted the office building and installed a new surface on the course. Beyond this season, he’s not sure what the future holds for Go Putt! “The reality of the situation is everything is for sale at the right price,” he said. “We’re here until we’re not.” Smith remains supportive of the city’s plans to redesign the Entertainment District, an area including multiple businesses on both sides of Park Meadows Drive south of Yosemite Street. “We’re still totally behind making the entire Entertainment District a better environment,” he said. “Everybody’s moving forward (but) these things have so many moving parts, they don’t get done quickly.” Deputy City Manager Steve Hebert con-

The planned sale of the Go Putt! Miniature Golf course in Lone Tree’s Entertainment District has fallen through. File photo firmed the process is still on track, but echoed Smith’s comment. “The pieces are coming together rather slowly,” he said. “We have no big news yet, but I’m optimistic we’ll have some in the next few weeks.” Plans are moving forward on converting the current three-way intersection at Kimmer and Park Meadows drives to a signalized four-way, providing another access into the district. “We are in conversations about either acquiring an easement and/or property for some of those improvements,” Hebert said. “Those conversations are going well.” South Suburban Parks and Recreation

District is working on designs to convert a drainage area near the intersection of Kimmer and Park Meadows drives into a small park. Owners of the building that houses United Artists also are negotiating toward a remodel and upgrade of the theater complex. Lone Tree’s Vision Book, a document released in August 2013, outlines its hopes for the area originally developed in the 1980s on both sides of Park Meadows Drive east of Yosemite Street. The future Lone Tree Plaza ideally would serve as the heart of the city, and could include a promenade to encourage walking, extensive landscaping, water features, a kids’ play area and farmers market.

Runners to converge on deKoevend Park Staff report

Southern Hospitality welcomes patrons Staff report Fans of southern barbecue can satisfy their cravings at Lone Tree’s newest restaurant, Southern Hospitality. The restaurant in the shopping center northwest of Quebec Street and Park Meadows Drive held its grand opening May 1. The concept for Southern Hospitality came from singer and barbecue enthusiast Justin Timberlake, a Memphis native, and New York nightclub operator Eytan Sugarman. Their goal was to offer high-quality, southern-inspired food, an array of micro-brews, bottled beers and bourbons, served in a hip and high-energy environment. This new location previously was home to Pasquini’s restaurant. It has been vacant since November 2013, when a family feud prompted the pizzeria’s closure.

Nicolette Powell, left, and Olivia Murray, both of Highlands Ranch, were among the first patrons at Lone Tree’s newest restaurant, Southern Hospitality. It held its grand opening May 1.

Jury convicts chase suspect

Stone, who has a prior criminal history, stole multiple vehicles throughout the metro area — including one in Longmont with the 4-year-old child inside — and eluded police, striking several vehicles in the process. He was found guilty of first-degree assault, vehicular eluding, motor vehicle theft and child abuse, among other charges. A toxicology test showed Stone tested positive for methamphetamine, marijuana and Lorazepam, which is typically used to treat anxiety.

Driver faces minimum of 64 years in prison By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com A man who led authorities on a dangerous, lengthy pursuit during a morning rush hour on Interstate 25 was found guilty of attempted manslaughter, avoiding a conviction on the first-degree attempted murder charge he initially faced. A Douglas County jury found Ryan Stone guilty on 18 of 20 charges for a March 2014 chase that ended with a violent collision at Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street. Stone, 29, faces a minimum of 64 years in prison. The verdict was delivered after more Stone than a day of deliberations on April 29. A sentencing date had not immediately been set. The jury also decided Stone was not guilty of one count of kidnapping and one count of attempted robbery. The 75-mile pursuit was captured by an 850 KOA news helicopter and televised live. It forced authorities to shut down entrance ramps and lay down spike strips. Stone was charged with attempted firstdegree murder with extreme indifference for striking Colorado State Patrol Trooper Bellamann Hee with a car traveling 94 mph while Hee was putting down a spike strip on E-470 near Chambers Road. But the jury found

Closing arguments

Defense attorney Leslee Barnicle said the video was not sufficient evidence on which to find Stone guilty. “You can watch that video 100 times; you will never know what was going through Mr. Stone’s mind,” she told the jury. Prosecutor Laura Wilson said the video tells the story of Stone’s intent well. “There are some crimes that occur in the dark, where there’s nobody to see; this isn’t one of those,” she said. “This occurred under the watchful eye of the media.” “(Stone) was going to do whatever it took to get away, no matter who it hurt, no matter how badly.” Barnicle told the jury Stone didn’t know a child was inside the first vehicle he stole. It was left running outside a Longmont gas station while the child’s mother went inside. The mother testified that her son was sleeping when she got out of the Ford Edge. Barnicle suggested the 4-year-old boy may have unbuckled his car seat and hid during Stone’s hour-long drive. “Mr. Stone never knew that child was there,” Barnicle said. “There is no evidence that says that he did. He’s standing on the back seat (when the car is found). Where has he been this whole time? Do you know? No. Do you know if Mr. Stone knew? No. Your job is to hold them to the burden of beyond a reasonable doubt.” Barnicle characterized the collision with Hee as “an unfortunate accident.” She also suggested the high-speed police chase should have been called off. “The extreme indifference the government wants you to put on Ryan Stone is greatly

Parker resident Stacy Rader, whose car Ryan Stone T-boned at the conclusion of his 75-mile flight, talks with reporters about the verdict in his case in the Douglas County Courthouse. Photo by Jane Reuter Stone guilty of the lesser charge of attempted manslaughter. Parker resident Stacy Rader, whose vehicle was T-boned in the crash that ended the chase, said she is satisfied with the verdict. She attended the trial, in part, to support Hee and a 4-year-old child was who in the back seat of the first of several vehicles Stone stole.

“I think the right thing happened,” she said just after the verdict was read at the Douglas County Justice Center in Castle Rock. Then, referring to Stone, Rader said, “I’m just a little emotional to see his family so upset.” Mark Hurlburt, deputy district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, said, “A menace has been taken off the streets.” “There was a child that could have been hurt. Injuries could have been off the charts. He absolutely needs to be put away.” Attorneys for Stone said he was running on fear during his flight from Longmont to Douglas County. During closing arguments in the trial April 27, they argued the Centennial man did not knowingly commit the crimes for which he’s charged, a key component in finding him guilty. Prosecutors said the actions caught on video tell a different story, one of a man who acted with knowing disregard for others.

Construction-defects measure fails Associated Press A long-awaited bill to make it harder to sue Colorado homebuilders for defective construction has failed in the state Legislature. The bill was rejected last week by a House committee controlled by Democrats. The measure would have revised procedures for construction lawsuits in multifamily developments. The vote on Senate Bill 15-177 was 6-5, on party lines. Supporters, including Denver May-

or Michael Hancock, have said that Colorado’s law about defective construction is hampering efforts to add affordable condo units. But other Democrats say the proposed changes would have been too favorable to builders and developers and would have stripped consumer protections. “The problem in Colorado is a shortage of affordable housing, and allowing builders to build defective housing is not the solution,” Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, said in a news re-

which allegedly included driving head-on toward police cars and forcibly removing people from their cars — didn’t indicate fear. “He’s afraid when he gets caught; who wouldn’t be?” Wilson said. “But he’s not afraid up until that point. He knows exactly what he’s doing.”

O U R S

There’s no call for phone solicitation “What time do you eat dinner?” “What?” “What’s your home phone number, and what time do you eat dinner?” “I’m not going to tell you that.” “We’re having dinner and you interrupted us. I just wanted to return the favor.” Click. I am on the National Do Not Call Registry. It’s not enough. If you are on the National Do Not Call Registry and still get unwanted calls, I have the cure. “Mr. Smith?” No one I know calls me Mr. Smith. “Who wants to know?” “My name is Crissy ...” “I hate that name.” “My name is Crissy. I am with Nestlerode Construction. We will have a contractor on your block tomorrow ...” “How do you know where I live?” “We have your account information.” “I don’t have an account. Listen, Crissy. How much do you weigh?” “What?” “And what are your measurements?” Click. “Hello, I would like to speak to Craig Smith please.” “He’s dead. Can I take a message?” Click. There may not be a more odious profession. Solicitation. If I were an accountant, I would refuse to do a solicitor’s taxes. Or I would do them and dislocate a few decimal points. Spending the day making unwanted calls is as low as it gets. Making unwanted calls to unlisted numbers is below that. You may have no-

ticed that it gets worse in election years. Next year is an election year. “Hello. I would like to speak to Craig Marshall Smith please.” “Why?” “I am with the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. If you were going to vote in the presidential election today, which of the following candidates would you choose?” “Señor Wences.” “Mr. Smith, I haven’t given you the list yet.” “Lead singer of the Strawberry Alarm Clock.” “You are not cooperating.” “Kukla. No, Fran. No, Ollie.” Click. Your unlisted phone number is listed. Solicitors can purchase phone numbers and mailing lists from organizations that you have done business with. Solicitors are weasels. But someone is funding them, which makes them more despicable than weasels. The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute is funded by the school. The school is known for its poll, and its enrollment spike is attributed to the Institute. Huh? “Mom and dad, I really want to

go to a school that has a polling institute. I know that most polls are pointless, and random calls enrage a lot of people. I am all for it.” “Son, you’re talking about Quinnipiac.” It used to be worse. I didn’t have an unlisted number. I’d come home from work, make a double vodka tonic, rocks, olives, and sit and wait. I said some awful things. This is what you have to do. You have to register with more than one no-call program. Go online, and search for Colorado No Call. It’s new to me, so I am not making any promises. “I would like to speak with Greg Smith please.” Click. I used to get calls from chimney sweeps. “I don’t have a chimney.” “How am I supposed to know that?” “You just call everyone and take your chances?” “That’s about it.” “Did you know that the word `moron’ comes from the Greek word `moron’?” Click. Maybe there are lonely hearts who actually look forward to these calls in a dull day. If that’s true, I feel sorry for you.

Put on a happy face, and you’ll be noticed One of the best ways to position yourself for a new job or a promotion is to perform your current role the best you possibly can. I mean perform it flawlessly, excellently, and with pride and passion. I have seen this happen time and time again. And what I am talking about when I say I have seen it happen time and time again is that I have seen people doing such an amazing job in their current position that another manager notices their attitude, behavior and productivity and offers them the opportunity to move into a different department or invites them to work on a bigger project. There are other examples of sales people doing such a great job selling their products or services that the customer becomes so impressed that they offer the sales person a job selling directly for them. Now the key here is the way that we go about our day-to-day tasks and activities, how we actually perform for our current employer. If we are operating at the highest possible level, doing our work cheerfully and with purpose, and delivering and even exceeding results, we will be noticed and recognized, rewarded, and maybe even recruited. There are some people who fall into a different pattern; they get trapped into thinking that they are so unhappy with

their company, their boss, or their associates that their work starts to suffer, their poor attitude becomes painfully obvious to everyone else, and their body language reflects the disposition of someone who is generally unhappy, unmotivated and unproductive. These folks are usually already looking for another job or position. What they don’t understand is that no one, no company, and no manager wants to even look at or talk to a candidate who is so unhappy or disengaged. When we can perform our jobs in such a way where other people see our effort and our enthusiasm, opportunities will find us for sure. It’s not an intentional audition, but really when we perform at the highest level possible, others are taking notice. They may not have a need for your talent or skills, but they probably know someone

Reducing red tape will help incomes, outcomes Colorado’s world-class universities, highly educated workforce, excellent quality of life and pioneering spirit have made the state a hub for inventors, entrepreneurs and innovators. The state’s diverse bioscience industry in particular is thriving, creating good-paying jobs and bolstering the economy. The industry currently encompasses more than 600 companies, employs 27,000 people with an average salary of $84,000, and adds $10 billion to the state payroll annually. The collaboration between private companies and public policy has played no small part in supporting bioscience companies. Unfortunately, America is still ranked 50th in the world for getting

and may talk about you so highly that others will come looking for you. When I was managing and leading a team, I used to share this concept with my staff. I used to tell them the biggest compliment they could receive was when one of our customers or partners would come to them with a job offer. They should work every day as if they were being interviewed for their dream job. Could you imagine what the culture and the office environment would be like if we all raised the bar and elevated our game? Could you imagine if we infused that effort with incredible skills and talent? And how awesome would it be if we layered in a positive attitude and healthy spirit of teamwork? Are you someone who is shining so brightly you might get promoted or recruited? Have you seen someone performing at the highest level and you wish they worked for you? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com. And when what we do is so inspiring to others, it really will be a better than good week.

Protecting ourselves from identity theft Criminals regularly develop new and more sophisticated approaches to take our money from us, but we can protect ourselves by learning how they operate and by taking preventative steps that minimize our chances of becoming a victim. Identity theft takes billions of dollars from victims each year, and it has been the No. 1 citizen concern reported to the Federal Trade Commission for the past 15 years. Our chances of becoming a victim of identity theft are too high for us to ignore the risk. Identity thieves obtain our personal and private information, such as name, date of birth, Social Security number, address, bank and credit account numbers, as well as other private information. They use that information to take money by using our accounts and our credit. They find our information in a number of ways: snooping through our trash; stealing our mail; copying or “skimming” our credit card numbers; “hacking” into the records of a business we visit; stealing our wallet or purse, laptop computer or mobile device; scamming us into giving them our information; sending us malicious email

lations and cut red tape, there is still more we can do to spur innovation and increase Colorado companies’ competitiveness on the global market. We recently launched our Colorado Health Innovation: Improving Outcomes and Incomes tour to meet with industry leaders and business owners to highlight these issues and to hear firsthand what we can do to continue supporting this booming industry. At Welltok in Denver — a company that has developed apps to help people improve their eating and exercise habits — we met a woman who used the app to lose

Lost cat Continued from Page 1

The veterinarian who examined him knew one thing immediately: The 2-yearold Maine coon cat with a square of blue cloth around his neck was someone’s beloved pet. “I saw that bandanna and I said, `Somebody loves him,’” said veterinarian Pilar Starman. That someone is Orietta Harris, who had adopted Rolo as an 8-week-old kitten to help her deal with anxiety. Harris and her daughter Erin were immediately entranced by Rolo’s unique mannerisms. “He walks like a dog with a leash,” said Harris. “He loves snow, he loves the cold climate. He’s a crack-up. Along with him being gorgeous, he has a personality I’ve never seen in a cat before.” Rolo had gone out for his usual 15 minutes of sitting just outside the front door of his home near E-470 and Jordan Road in Parker on April 11. When Harris saw he wasn’t at the door, she stood outside shaking a bag of Temptations cat treats — a time-tested way to call Rolo home. He didn’t respond. Night fell. A day passed. Another night.

from a commitment of $25 million from local partners, including the Lone Tree, Douglas County, Ridgegate and the Denver South Transportation Management Authority. Refusing this money will not reduce the federal deficit as was explained to CKM by councilmembers. The money would go to another project. Congress approved money to be used for infrastructure projects. They increase transportation options, making Lone Tree more attractive, create jobs, which create salaries and taxes, adding revenue to the federal government. CKM should consider running for

links or attachments; and numerous other methods. Once our private information is known to them, identity thieves obtain false identification in our name and begin opening credit accounts. If they have our bank account information they may also drain our accounts, and they will continue to use our information as long as they can get away with it. Many victims spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in an attempt to clear their name and rebuild their credit, in addition to recovering any financial loss they may have suffered from the actual theft. To minimize our chances of becoming an identity theft victim, here are some

helpful steps: • Never give private information to anyone in response to a call or email message you did not initiate. • Always check your bills, statements and credit reports to look for items you didn’t purchase and credit inquiries or accounts that you are not familiar with on your credit report. • You can get one free credit report every 12-month period from each of the three credit bureaus: Equifax, 800-525-6285; Experian, 888-397-3792; and Trans Union, 800-680-7289. • Take immediate steps to stop any suspicious activity you find by contacting all the banks, credit card companies, businesses involved in the activity, etc. and tell them you suspect fraud. • Additionally, you may wish to put a “security freeze” or “fraud alert” on your name at the credit bureaus, but be aware that your own access to your credit may be denied in addition to denying others access. • Shred all documents that contain personal information with a crosscut shredder before trashing.

• Secure your private information at home, on your computers and mobile devices with strong passwords and firewalls and never use private information on public wireless networks. • Ask your bank and credit card companies to monitor your accounts and alert you about suspicious activity. Seniors have been victimized more frequently than other age groups regarding fraud, but identity theft statistics do not support that conclusion, perhaps because seniors under-report identity theft. If you are victimized, report the theft to your local law enforcement agency — contact the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office at 303-660-7500 to have a deputy take a report — and report it to the Federal Trade Commission. The information provided in this short article is not intended to be comprehensive. It is provided to stimulate thinking about identity theft, start conversations and provide the stimulus for individuals to take steps to protect themselves.

75 pounds. We toured the largest medical device company in Colorado Springs, Spectranetics, and saw how they use lasers to clear arteries and prevent amputations. In Broomfield we visited Corgenix, which recently received FDA approval for a test that can detect the Ebola virus in minutes. We also went to SomaLogic in Boulder, where they can measure proteins in your blood to try to predict illnesses that may be in your future. These companies are all developing unique, cutting-edge technology, but one thing they all shared was a desire to work with the FDA to remove burdensome regulations. We successfully passed a measure as part of the 2012 FDA Reform Bill, to create a “Breakthrough Therapy” designation for certain drugs and treatments that show dramatically positive responses early in development. This “Breakthrough”

designation can reduce the FDA approval process by up to 10 years, ensuring that life-saving drugs developed by innovative bioscience companies aren’t mired in Washington bureaucracy. Out of the last 55 drugs approved in the past six years, 23 of them have been approved as a “Breakthrough Therapy.” Also included in the 2012 FDA Reform Act was a bill we sponsored to reduce the regulatory burdens that unnecessarily delay new medical devices from reaching the market. In addition, we passed a measure to track all prescription drugs from the time they are manufactured to the moment they are picked up at the drugstore. On the Senate HELP Committee Innovation Working Group, we are collaborating to develop more common-sense measures to increase opportunities for the high-tech industry, particularly the biosci-

ence field. We are currently working to pass the MEDTECH Act, which would exempt low-risk medical software and apps that promote health and fitness from FDA regulations, benefiting companies like Welltok right here in Denver. We also recently introduced a bipartisan bill to help bring breakthrough medical devices that show lifesaving potential to patients faster. More than a decade ago, policy-makers, scholars and businesses leaders from throughout the state came together to develop the foundation of what is now one of the top 10 bioscience industries in the country. At the national level, we will continue to advocate for practical measures to reduce red tape and foster innovation, driving better health-care outcomes and strengthening our economy.

And another day. Harris experienced such anxiety she checked herself into Parker Adventist for a day. “I went into such sadness,” she said. “It’s almost like losing a child.” At about 8 a.m. April 14, officer Brown was called to “trouble” on I-25 in the construction zone area. At least two drivers had stopped in rush hour traffic to try to rescue a cat they’d spotted in the median. Brown and one driver searched the median until they spotted Rolo. “I never believed that call when I got it,” said Harris, whose eyes tear as she beams at Rolo. “I haven’t been this happy since the birth of my kids. It’s surreal to wake up every morning with him licking my cheek.” Rolo’s scrapes are almost healed and his enthusiasm for the outdoors is undimmed; he hurries to the door whenever Harris or her daughter approaches it. But he won’t be venturing out unchaperoned again. “No more outdoors for Rolo,” Harris said. “We have a beautiful harness for him.” For Brown, who recently reunited a Boston terrier with its owners, such tasks are among the best parts of his job. “I have a dog and a cat; they are part of our family, so I totally understand,” he said.

Congress, working for our congressional delegation or the federal budget office on deficit issues. She might ask our congressional representative, Ken Buck, why he voted against the bipartisan bill to solve Medicare payments to doctors, enabling seniors to keep their doctors without fear of losing them, funding the Children’s Health Insurance Program and printing new Medicare cards without Social Security numbers due to identity theft. These benefit many Americans, yet his reason was “ it will add to the deficit.” Instead he voted to repeal the federal tax levied on multimillion dollar estates affecting only the wealthiest. This will add far more to the federal deficit than the bipartisan bill he vetoed. Gayle M. Spelts Lone Tree

‘Peter’ still sharing message of peace Well-known folk singer visits Summit View as part of Peaceful Schools Program By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com At 77, Peter Yarrow continues the peaceful activism that made him famous in the 1960s as part of the Peter, Paul and Mary folksinging trio. Today, he shares his message of peace and compassion with school children. On May 4, he brought it to Highlands Ranch’s Summit View Elementary, which has followed Yarrow’s Peaceful School Program for two years. “There’s a movement today to make sure we treat each other with kindness and humanity and respect,” Yarrow said. “And that’s why I’m here.” Yarrow talked and sang before the students and staff during a morning assembly, inviting a small group of students on stage

First-grader Anne Eggemeyer, left, and second-grader Carissa Cotter sing “Puff the Magic Dragon” with Peter Yarrow at Summit View Elementary. Photo by Jane Reuter to show them how the Peaceful Schools Program works and to sing with him. He encouraged students to conduct the Four-Way Test

in speech and action. The test used by Rotarians — who helped developed Peaceful Schools with Yarrow

— encourages people to ask if something it true, fair, beneficial to all, and whether it will build goodwill and better friendships before speaking or acting. “You can change it,” Yarrow told the students. “It’s within your power to create the kind of school you want.” Yarrow sang several of his most wellknown songs, including “Puff the Magic Dragon” and an anti-bullying song, “Don’t Laugh at Me,” with which many of the children sang along. “This was so amazing today,” said Summit View Principal Sheri Coll. “The Peaceful Schools Program ... really supports the social and emotional Learning. Our school has really taught establishing and maintaining positive relationships. Having Peter Yarrow personally visit our school solidified that we are creating respectful, safe schools.” Members of Mountain Vista High School’s Interact Club deliver the lessons, acting as role models for the elementary-age students. Interact Club is a Rotary Club specifically for 12-18 year olds.

The evolution

• Crime scene/accident scene photography

• HAZMAT accidents

• Disaster & emergency response (floods, fires,

• Wildfires/firefighting

Law enforcement has a history of adopting cutting-edge technology, including many items common today, such as automobiles, motorcycles, telephones, radios and cameras. Until recently, drones were primarily used by the military. They were originally developed during the Cold War but did not see widespread military use until the start of the conflict in Afghanistan in 2001. But according to Kory Nelson, chair of Douglas County’s subcommittee on unmanned aerial vehicles, today’s technological revolution with drones is a direct result of the combination of the miniaturization and cost-reduction of digital cameras. Today, wireless video streaming and the increased reliability of aerial platforms for such cameras with gyroscope stability and GPS navigation tools make high-quality videography possible. “Law enforcement has been using helicopters and planes in the past,” Nelson said. “This is another extension of that technology.” Interest in the civilian world has grown to a point where there are now retail locations, including one in Castle Rock. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office’s new drone was donated by the National Technical Investigators’ Association, a nonprofit organization that provides additional training to law enforcement and intelligence professionals. The DJI Phantom2 is a hobbyist version of a drone and retails for $3,000. The sheriff’s office is looking at using the device primarily to assist in searchand-rescue operations and photograph crime and accident scenes. Other potential uses for drones include disaster and emergency response, HAZMAT accidents and wildfire investigations, law enforcement officials said. It could also be used for tracking

down seniors, children and mental health patients who become lost in large open spaces or parks. Douglas County Director of Emergency Management Tim Johnson said the county could utilize drones as part of its wildfire management because of their potential to locate smoke and the importance of early detection. According to Johnson, launching a helicopter for the same purpose costs $1,800 per hour. Kerry Garrison of Multicopter Warehouse in Castle Rock, is seeing drone use become more common with private citizens and in the business world, not only with public officials. According to Garrison, officials use them to monitor controlled burns on Pikes Peak, farmers to monitor livestock and builders to inspect roofs for leaks.

Privacy concerns

The biggest question mark about drone use is the privacy issue, which has arisen in the past with other emerging technology. In 1986, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed whether the government’s use of airplanes and helicopters to observe activities on the ground constituted a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against illegal search and seizure. In California v. Ciraolo (1986), the Supreme Court ruled that warrantless aerial observation of a person’s backyard did not violate the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. The defendant, Dante Carlo Ciraolo, grew marijuana plants in his backyard, shielded from view by two fences. After receiving an anonymous tip, the Santa Clara police sent officers in a private

airplane to fly over and photograph his house at an altitude of 1,000 feet. Based on an officer’s naked-eye observation, a search warrant was granted. Chief Justice Warren Burger wrote for the 5-4 majority, saying, “The Fourth Amendment simply does not require the police traveling in the public airways at this altitude to obtain a warrant in order to observe what is visible to the naked eye.” At an April 30 public meeting in Highlands Ranch about drone use, the sheriff’s office addressed similar concerns. Diane Schrack, of Highlands Ranch, said she worries about the potential misuse of the technology. The sheriff’s office “needs to be able to guarantee the community’s trust,” she said. Spurlock reinforced law enforcement is governed by the Fourth Amendment when using drones. “I don’t get to fly that thing without a search warrant,” Spurlock said. It is illegal to fly a drone in a state or national park in Colorado, but few rules exist regarding their use elsewhere in the state. Colorado lawmakers have debated putting limits on drone surveillance this session. At the April 30 meeting, some residents expressed concerns about not being able to differentiate the sheriff’s office drone from one owned by a private individual. The sheriff’s office said it is not opposed to putting identifying stickers and phone numbers on the unit. “If we don’t need to deploy it and it sits in its box for a long time, so be it,” Spurlock said. “No harm, no foul.”

Denver gets visit from TV foodie “…Of Bikini grills, horse talk and wizards” by Don Hartman, acrylic on canvas, 41”x28” will be included in Don Hartman’s “Two Faces” exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center. Courtesy photos

Exhibit puts on ‘Two Faces’ Housing developer has second life as artist By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Painter Don Hartman’s bio statement begins with a Baltimore childhood memory — the imagination kicked in early. “As a child lying in bed, I would look closely at the floral wallpaper in my room. I would find faces. They would forever change how I viewed my surroundings.” His exhibit, “Two Faces,” runs May 14 to June 26 in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center. He attended Maryland Institute College of Art (“when the moon was in the seventh house …”), studying fine arts and photography, then a summer job led him into the construction industry, which took him to Japan, back to Baltimore, to Phoenix (where he also taught) and then to Grand Junction and Denver. He has been a housing developer with the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless since 2011 and built a 54,000-square-foot Health Center in downtown Denver for the homeless. But, through the years, he has also been painting and looking. “In 1999, inspired by my wife, I began painting again after returning from Takamatsu. I began painting my emotions and thoughts inspired by the happenings of daily life,” he writes. “I would start a new painting by flowing translucent strokes on the canvas. As I layered the strokes, faces would emerge. These faces would soon come to life with color, form and then movement.

“What’s Up?” Don Hartman’s acrylic on canvas 18”x30” is included in his exhibit, “Two Faces” at Town Hall Arts Center. Can you see two faces here? “While developing affordable housing in Phoenix, Arizona, I would often take note of the graffiti I saw in the blighted neighborhoods where I worked. There is a certain spirit I found in those spraypainted walls and buildings in the struggling neighborhoods. These senses would become the `postcards from the hood’ I would create.” Hartman says this show is dedicated to his late brother-in-law Walter. “Walter always supported my work, even early on, although maybe seeing something different himself. When seeing my `What’s Up’ painting for the first time, Walter said `I see two faces.’ I thought WTH!”

IF YOU GO

It would take the costume and makeup crews at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts to disguise Guy Fieri, the distinctive host of the Food Network hit show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” The spiky platinum blond hair, pounds of bling, accessory sunglasses, signature shorts and flip-flops and sidekick red classic Camaro are dead giveaways. So it came as no surprise when alert Denver diners spotted the impish TV show host around town recently. According to a story on Eater Denver (www.denver.eater.com), Fieri spent a couple days filming at Dae Gee, a Korean barbecue spot with outlets in Westminster and Denver, followed by two more stops at Biju’s Little Curry Shop in RiNo and Axios Greek Restaurant in the Berkeley neighborhood. Here’s what Eater said, “One of those was RiNo’s favorite quick-casual spot Biju’s Little Curry Shop. When the restaurant closed on Wednesday (April 22) for the filming of the show, owner Biju Thomas told guests that the Indian eatery was closed for a private event and sent them to neighbor Park Burger for a one-time special made with Biju’s sauce. The other chosen spot for the show was Axios Estiario, a Greek eatery in the rapidly growing Berkeley neighborhood.” Read the rest of the story at www. denver.eater.com/2015/4/24/8493113/ guy-fieri-bijus-little-curry-shop-axiosdiners-driveins-dives. The air dates for the show will be announced on www.foodnetwork.com/ shows/diners-drive-ins-and-dives. html.

Root Down DIA a winner

Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton, is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances. (“Young Frankenstein” opens on May 15 and runs until June 14.)

Hartman will not have a reception, but will be at Stanton Gallery on the opening night of “Young Frankenstein” on May 15.

“GJ Alley” by Don Hartman acrylic on canvas 38”x24” was probably suggested by graffiti he found while living and building in Phoenix. It will be in his exhibit at Town Hall Arts Center.

Root Down DIA, a Mission Yogurt Inc. restaurant, was recognized as Airports Council International-North America’s “2015 Best New Food and Beverage Full-Service Concept” on April 26 during the awards gala at the first-ever ACI-NA Business of Airports Conference in Phoenix, which was attended by more than 500 commercial management, human resource and finance representatives from North America’s airport industry. “Mission Yogurt is honored to be recognized for Root Down DIA by one of the most respected airport trade organizations in the world,” said Rod Tafoya, president of Mission Yogurt Inc. “We’re proud of the success of Root Down at DIA, and look forward to continuing to serve travelers at DEN.”

‘Fancy Nancy’ set to visit Lone Tree By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com A musical version of a “Fancy Nancy” story deals with an upcoming performance of “Deep Sea Dances” and the question of who gets to play the mermaids. Nancy and her friends Bree, Wanda, Rhonda and Lionel are involved, and Nancy, who was certain she’d be picked for a mermaid role, is stuck playing a dull, dreary tree instead. Can she bring a fancy flair to the role, even though it’s not the one she wanted?

Each year more than 70 barbecue masters travel to “The Main Street of the Rockies” to compete for a variety of awards, including the coveted Grand Champion and Reserve Champion titles. These winners are then eligible to compete in the American Royal — the “World Series” of barbecue.

German composer Carl Orff in the 1930s,” Bouton said. “The poems were discovered in a German abbey in the early 1900s and were supposedly written by defrocked monks in the 11th and 12th centuries. They deal with the fickleness of fortune and wealth, the purpose of life and the pleasures of drinking, gluttony and lust — things that are still discussed today, a thousand years later.” An online source says the libretto is mostly in Latin, with a small amount of Middle High German and Old Provencal. Orff originally intended it to be a choreographed stage work, and sometimes performances include dance.

Lacrosse charges into mainstream High school participation rides wave of interest in sport

DID YOU KNOW? ORIGINS: Lacrosse originated in North America centuries ago. Native Americans played a version of the game in which there were often 100 players or more per side and the contests went on for days.

By Jim Benton

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Glance at a park, field or back yard these days and there’s a good chance you’ll see youths playing catch with a lacrosse ball or bouncing one against a wall. Lacrosse continues to gain popularity in high schools in Colorado and across the nation. This week, dozens of teams open the state playoffs in the quest for a championship, a showcase of how far the game has come. “The sport is exploding for one reason: It is so fun,” said Mountain Vista boys coach Jake Herman. “My wife never played, but one of her favorite things to do is go play catch. Lacrosse to me is the perfect mix of soccer, basketball and hockey. It has a tough-guy side with it being physical, yet requires finesse to do well.” This season there are 73 Colorado high school boys teams and 45 girls teams, compared to a combined 43 teams when the sport was first recognized by the state high school sports governing body in 1999. Colorado is one of 23 states to sanction boys lacrosse and one of 25 states, and the District of Columbia, to approve girls lacrosse. Many of the teams in Colorado are co-op clubs with players coming from different schools. For the 2013-14 season, lacrosse participation increased by 9,744 from the previous season to 188,689 nationwide, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations. “It’s a very magnetic game; kids love to play it,” said Cherry Creek boys coach Bryan Perry. Despite the swelling participation, lacrosse is still a mystifying sport to many people. “One of the ways I kind of describe it for people who might not have held a stick or played lacrosse, or even seen it, is it’s a lot like hockey, where you have to skate, puck-handle and use your stick and have your balance at all times,” said 2006 Arapahoe High graduate Drew Robertson, who is now the junior varsity boys coach at Denver South. “But in lacrosse, it’s obviously running. It’s constant running and constant eye-hand coordination.” The increase of youth lacrosse teams, the influence of the University of Denver’s collegiate program and the addition of the Colorado Mammoth and Denver Outlaws professional teams have helped spur in-state lacrosse interest. “Kids are starting to play at a younger age and it is affecting the level of high school play,” Robertson said. “Players are getting scholarship looks from major Division I programs. When I was in high school you had to do the recruiting yourself. The growth in youth programs has been crazy.” Kirsten Greenlaw, who plays on the ThunderRidge girls team, will be playing next season at San Diego State. “Girls now are starting the recruiting process as sophomores, and that is really awesome how fast we are growing,” she said. Wheat Ridge boys coach Chris Knott credits increased visibility, thanks largely to the Mammoth and Outlaws, with helping the growth of the sport. “One neighbor gets another neighbor going and brings home a stick,” he said. “It’s really hard not to fall in love with the game once you try it.” Golden High boys coach and Arapahoe graduate Kurt Ohlen emphasized that almost all types of youths can play lacrosse once the basic skills are learned. “It’s a sport that is kind of acceptable to everyone in terms of physicality,” said Ohlen.

TODAY’S GAME: • Boys lacrosse teams field 10 players per side and girls squads have 12 per team. • Boys play four 12-minute quarters and girls play two 20-minute halves. • The field is 110 yards long, with nets set up near the end of each side. • In the boys game, contact called “checking” — similar to hockey — is allowed, above the waist. It is against the rules of the girls game, but players may make contact with their sticks. • Goals are worth one point. • The stick and ball: Players carry sticks more than 3 feet in length with a webbed pouch on the end. The ball is made out of rubber and is slightly smaller than a baseball, but heavier. THE COSTS:

Helmet prices start at around $100 but can retail for upward of $200. Sticks can be found for under $100 but a good one can go for more than $150. Gloves, shoulder pads, shoes and other equipment can add a few hundred more dollars to the cost of suiting up.

South metro area sets the standard By Jim Benton

jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Boys and girls high school lacrosse has been dominated by teams in the southern part of the Denver metro area. Cherry Creek, Mountain Vista, Regis Jesuit, Kent Denver, Arapahoe, Rock Canyon and Castle View were in the top 10 in the most recent CSHAANow.com Class 5A rankings. Valor Christian and Ponderosa are among the teams ranked in the Class 4A boys poll. The girls poll finds Cherry Creek, Arapahoe and ThunderRidge ranked first, fifth and seventh. “There’s good competition in the youth programs and that breeds for a higher level of player earlier,” said Cherry Creek boys coach Bryan Perry. “So with that competition, it makes everybody better.” Golden boys coach Kurt Ohlen played at Arapahoe before the Colorado High School Activities Association sanctioned the sport in 1999. “A lot of those areas breathed lacrosse a lot earlier,” Ohlen said. “A lot of those programs have deep roots. I would also say there is probably something of a socioeconomic component to it. Lacrosse is an expensive sport, not as expensive a hockey, but kind of

“In basketball, you kind of have to be a little taller and in football you kind of need to be bigger. In lacrosse, you don’t necessarily need any of those things. There’s a sport for everyone on the field.” The physical nature of play in the boys

So you have a part of town where people have the disposable income to get their kids into it and that has something to do with it, too.” On the boys side, Kent Denver, located in Cherry Hills Village, has won five state titles and been the runner-up twice. Cherry Creek has brought home four state titles to Greenwood Village and been second five times.

Arapahoe is a three-time state titlist, Regis Jesuit has won it all twice and Ponderosa once. Arapahoe and Regis have each been the state runner-up twice. Cherry Creek has dominated the girls state playoffs, winning 10 championships, and has been the runner-up seven times. Kent Denver has secured three state titles and been second five times.

sport — the girls version has much less contact — is also a draw. At the same time, the contact in boys lacrosse doesn’t lead to as many season-ending or career-ending injuries as in football. Mountain Vista senior Christian

Barker is one of many players who appreciate the blend of finesse and force. “There’s still hitting enough that you like it and it’s fun,” he said. “The physicality aspect is there and it’s not football, where people are coming at you and trying to hurt you.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 4, 2015

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The Lamb is usually excited about taking on a new challenge. But if that’s a touch of doubt you’re feeling, maybe it’s you telling yourself to go slow on this until you learn more about it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Accepting new commitments when you haven’t yet finished the batch on hand could be a bit rash. Better to ease up on the new ones until you get further along with your current lot. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Reward yourself for what’s sure to be a dynamic week with a getaway to someplace wonderful, hopefully with a wonderful someone. You’ll return refreshed and ready for what’s ahead.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Some people might be anxious about your plans. So you need to take time to explain what you expect to do and how you expect do it. And don’t forget to ask for suggestions. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Dealing with an unfamiliar problem can be difficult. The wisest course you can take is to ask for advice from those who have been where you are and have come through it. Good luck. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Tackle a frustrating job problem by considering possibilities you might have ignored before. This reassures colleagues you’re serious about finding a solution, even if it’s not totally yours. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your balanced approach to life proves to be helpful this week when someone you care for needs your spiritual comfort, while someone else benefits from your tough-love practicality. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Once again, you’re likely to be asked to keep a secret for someone. But do you really want to do so? Be honest with yourself and with your needs before you make any such commitment. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Taking a more direct approach from the more diplomatic one you’ve used before could make a difference in finally resolving a too-long-held disagreement. Try it. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Being asked for advice is flattering to the Sea Goat, who has a habit of saying the right thing. This time, expect someone to be especially impressed and to act on that sentiment. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With a number of pressures easing, your project could be making a lot more progress than you expected by this time. That’s great news. But don’t let yourself be distracted; stay with it. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An interesting challenge looms that could be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Discuss this with colleagues who could have much to contribute and who might want to join with you. BORN THIS WEEK: Your heart is always open to offer loving concern for others. And they, in turn, reach out to complete the circle. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
