Meeting shows support for pedestrian bridge
$6 million-plus project bolstered by partner funding support By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com A proposed Lincoln Avenue pedestrian bridge got support from most who attended the city’s first community meeting on the project. Most at the May 26 meeting at the Lone Tree Civic Center said they prefer a design that features a large, vertical metal leaf rising into the air from one side of the bridge. One man said he doesn’t support any aspect of the project, calling it a boondoggle. But his was a minority opinion among the small group. “From a safety and aesthetic standpoint,
I think it’s brilliant,” said Lone Tree resident Abe Laydon, speaking in support of the leaf design. “I love the idea of having something somewhat visionary and symbolic. Even from a property-value standpoint and having the walking ability … I think it’s just a great idea for this community.” The city proposes building the pedestrian bridge across Lincoln at its intersection with Heritage Hills Circle, just west of the Charles Schwab corporate complex. Architects created two designs — one that includes the leaf, and another, an arch. Estimated cost, including land acquisition, is $6.8 million for the leaf design and $6.3 million for the arch. Both feature glass panels and a low profile to maintain mountain views. The leaf is a symbolic tie to both the city’s name, and the Lone Tree Arts Center — the symbol of which is a leaf.

“This is something that’s going to be here for 100 years, and it’s going to be pretty visible,” said John Cotten, public works director. “You want something you’re going to like. It’s going to be seen by a lot of people over time.” Lone Tree would not pay the entire cost. South Suburban Parks and Recreation, Douglas County Government and the Park Meadows Metro District each have offered to contribute $1 million, and Omni Park Metropolitan District $25,000, for a total of more than $3 million. RidgeGate is donating the land needed for the bridge on the south side. The city also is working with other groups who may contribute to the cost, and will pursue grant funds. If the bridge is approved, the estimated six months of construction would begin in early 2016.
The bridge would provide a connection for the Willow Creek trail, a safe north/ south crossing to the new Lone Tree library under construction in RidgeGate, and the Lone Tree Arts Center, as well as alleviate traffic delays caused by pedestrians using walk buttons at grade-level crossings. But it’s more than that, said Cotten. “One of the things we’re really concerned about is that Lincoln can become a separator in the city,” he said. “We’ve had people (on the north side) say to us, ‘We don’t feel like we’re part of the city.’ Cities are interesting because they have a soul, a heart, and they need to be one city. This is not only a physical connection across Lincoln. In the long term, we think this is going to be an emotional connection.” It likely is not the last pedestrian bridge in Lone Tree. When the city is built out, Bridge continues on Page 9
The pedestrian bridge arch design shown in this artist’s rendering would cost about $6.3 million.

Mayor’s final State of City filled with good news S Lone Tree’s highlights include growing sales-tax revenue, construction activity By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mayor Jim Gunning’s last State of the City address should ensure for him a positive legacy. The annual luncheon and report on the city’s accomplishments was, as has become tradition for the growing city, overwhelmingly positive. Sales-tax revenues in the retail-heavy community increased almost 7 percent through March 2015 over 2014. The city is eying further improvements in the coming year, including a Lincoln Avenue pedestrian bridge, remodeling of the existing library space into a community center, and percent — continued planning Unemployment toward the 2016 start rate of the southeast light percent — rail extension and the Office vacancy rate renovation of the Entertainment District. — Office That work likely rent per square will begin with the foot, lagging construction of a behind only LoDo through intersection and Cherry Creek at Kimmer and Park

tertainment District’s anchor tenant, to do aS substantial renovation of the theater complex. Ongoing construction on Interstate 25 to add a lane on either side will benefit the city. And an expansion of Colorado 470, which runs through Lone Tree, is set to begin in 2016. The Lone Tree Arts Center, which opened in 2011, continues to exceed expectations. It has logged more than $1 million in ticket sales, and it welcomes about 80,000 people through its doors annually. “It’s great for shopping. It’s great for restaurants,” said Gunning, who also noted the center’s dedication to providing sensory-friendly programming in Lone Tree and encouraging other centers to follow suit. “We couldn’t be more proud of this.” Gunning also touched on a flurry of new construction ongoing near the arts center, including the library, MorningStar senior housing and a townhouse complex. The city also plans to construct a plaza on unused lots in front of the arts center. “You’re going to see a lot of energy come to this area in the future as all this builds out,” he said. Recent activity suggests the city council’s 2015 passage of a construction defects ordinance designed to help broaden the housing mix is working. “Since we passed that ordinance, we’ve had a couple inquiries about condo development in Lone Tree,” Gunning said. “Really, the market needs to resolve this and all we’re doing is allowing people to come back into the market and make those decisions themselves.” Gunning recognized several key city staff members past and present, community members who’ve worked with him during his tenure, and current as well as former council members. “It’s my privilege and their privilege to be elected officials,” said Gunning, who was first elected mayor in 2008. “I will tell you that along with that, it is your obligation to raise the hood and see what’s under there, folks. My challenge to you is to take your time, lean forward, get down to the level where the choices will be in May. “It has been a tremendous pleasure to do this every year. Thank you again for all you have done for Lone Tree and all you have done for me.” The audience of 175 people gave Gunning a standing ovation.

Meredith also warns that the edges of asphalt roads may be washed away, and said drivers should be careful not to drive too close to the edge of asphalt roads in rural areas because they could fall off the lip of the road and get stuck.

Rod Meredith, Douglas County director of public works, said the gravel the county will be using does not have the fine pieces that typically turn to mud and cause problems in heavy rains. Crews will be laying a half-inch aggregate. “It’s extraordinary at this point,” Meredith said. “Normally the roads would dry out, but with no sun for days on end and more rain coming, the reality is that it won’t be better until the weather dries up.” The mud has made life difficult for people

Of the county’s three current contracted maintenance projects — sidewalk repair, concrete panel repair and overlays — the first two have been slightly delayed but should get back on schedule in the last week of May and complete their work within their contract time, according to Darrell Roberts, Douglas County’s engineering permits, inspections and utilities manager. The overlay project is just getting started and is on schedule with no delays.

ROCK CANYON HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 2015
JAGUARS SET SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP RECORD
From left to right, Rock Canyon High School graduates Meredith Ham, Melissa Davies and Madison Nesiba sing “Moment” arranged by classmate Logan Schurr (not pictured). The three performed on the stage just before the class was accepted by Douglas County School District Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen. Rock Canyon High School’s graduation ceremony could have been dreary, given the rainy forecast on May 22, but happy seniors filed down the field at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker to take their seats and begin their futures. Principal Andy Abner gave a memorable speech. “I thought of my high school graduation and what my principal said, and I couldn’t remember, so listen up! Struggles have taught you perseverance … You must never give up … Hard times help build your character … Now that I’ve mentioned the word ‘perseverance’ 12 times, you have to remember this speech,” Abner said. Abner ended his speech by announcing that the 2015 senior class received $13.7 million in scholarship funding — the highest any RCHS senior class has ever been awarded.

“Growing up here I didn’t think I’d go to UCCS. I thought I needed a bigger school to get the quality education and degree I wanted. But all it took was a campus visit and I found out what a hidden jewel UCCS is. I’m a dual major and the academics are challenging. I also love that I’m just a car ride from my family if they need me for anything.” — Dylan Shuster, Junior in Chemistry and Biochemistry

SKYVIEW ACADEMY CLASS OF 2015
FIRST CLASS GRADUATES FROM ACADEMY SkyView Academy’s Class of 2015 made history May 22 as the first high school class to graduate from the Highlands Ranch charter. “We were the first group of students to ever wander these long Home Depot walls,” said valedictorian Matthew Hodgkins in a speech that elicited both tears and laughter. The building off C-470 on Business Center Drive once was a Home Depot that SkyView renovated to accommodate the pre-k through 12th-grade school. Hodgkins recalled the many changes that followed the first graduating class as they matured along with the school. “To us, every new challenge was just a new adventure,” he said. SkyView was founded on the idea of preparing students to be “lifelong learners and honorable leaders.”

Multitasking multiplies mistakes I am not sure about you, but when it comes to multitasking, I like to think I am really good at it, that is until I realize … I’m not. Now, it’s not that I haven’t tried to get as much done as possible in the shortest amount of time, it’s just that when I have tried to defy the odds and prove that I could effectively multitask, all I really accomplished was diluting my efforts of every task, and deluding myself that I actually pulled it off. One of my favorite business books of all time is Jim Collins’ “Good to Great.” And sometimes I have to remind myself of one of the key principles that Jim Collins focuses on in his book: It’s called The Hedgehog Concept. Basically he shares that the one thing that the hedgehog can do better than any other creature is defend itself. And the point he makes is that companies and people need to focus on what they do better than anyone else and stay committed to that path, focusing on the core competencies and strengths of the business or individual. The same holds true for most of us sometimes, don’t you think? I mean, how many of us know someone who tries to be everything to everybody? Maybe some of us are even guilty of it ourselves. We say yes to everything and we wind up juggling so many things that we eventually wind up dropping the balls we
are trying to keep in the air. This is when we have to learn to say “no” more often so that we can say “yes” to the truly important things and people in our lives. Saying “no” can be so hard sometimes, can’t it? I mean, family and friends come to us and need our help and Michael Norton ask for our help, and WINNING what are we supposed to do, tell them “no”? WORDS Yes, that is exactly what we are supposed to do sometimes. But we can’t possibly say “no” when the church or temple asks us to help out, can we? Yes, that is OK too. You see, it’s not about learning to say “no” all of the time, it’s managing our responses so that we can focus on what it is we are really good at, our own core competencies. And when we can apply those strengths in a situation where we can assist others, we will be adding true value and will minimize the amount of times we feel like we are spread so thin that we have to multitask in order to just get caught up.
A single focus doesn’t stifle growth, it actually multiplies success. Just think about it for a minute, think about a relationship where you applied complete and total focus on that person. I’ll bet the relationship flourished. If you are in sales, think of a customer where you were so focused on their needs and not what you were selling, it probably resulted in a sale and a customer for life. The quote by Dag Hammarskjold always drives this point home for me, where he says, “It is more noble to give yourself completely to one individual than to labor diligently for the salvation of the masses.” I sometimes substitute the word “individual” with other words, like “project” or “committee” or “company,” as a single focus on anything can and will multiply our successes. How about you? Are you multitasked to the point of dilution and delusion? Maybe it’s time to get some clarity and focus on you and your core strengths. As always I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, because when we live with such singular intent and focus it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
No one asked, but follow your heart Once again, I wasn’t asked to give a commencement speech anywhere. That’s fine with me. I am not a big believer in ceremonies. I gave a commencement speech once, and it was awful. I think that graduating from high school or college is significant and meaningful. I just don’t like the hat and the dress that they make you wear. And most of the time, the speakers say the same thing. And it’s about the future. “Now go out there, and show the world what you are made of.” And as everyone is leaving the parking lot, they run stop signs, speed, follow too closely and flip each other off. See why I am not asked to give a speech? I went through schools like a comet. Grade schools in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and California. A high school in Ohio, and college and graduate schools in California. One day I received something in the mail that had a gold seal on it, and an auto-pen signature, and I said to myself, “Now what?” A master’s degree in art is a little like having a master’s degree in ice cream. It makes you feel good, but you can’t buy a home with it. You can’t get health insurance with it either. But. You have a certain warmth. There is no better worthless degree than a degree in fine art. It is one true thing when people and buildings are falling. A degree in art is very selfish.
Craig Marshall Smith
QUIET DESPERATION
But look who is talking. I am on the outside of the world. I kept to myself when I was in high school, and I still do. You might have a son or daughter who is withdrawn. “Withdrawn” is a perfect word for what I did. I drew all of the time. Everywhere and on everything. Drawing was my oxygen. Now it’s painting
and this: writing. I don’t have any Smith family left, except for a terrific sister. And I haven’t made a family of my own, except for a dachshund. But I have another kind of family that consists of painters and writers and musicians and architects, and they are always there. Think of it. I can read two paragraphs of Raymond Chandler and feel better and feel good. I can listen to Yo-Yo Ma and the skies are not cloudy all day. Henry David Thoreau and I have had lunch together. Someone said that an artist cannot fail, because it is a success just to be one. And I have no regrets. I think I could have
made buckets of money doing something else, but my soul would have been at the dry cleaners all of the time. I look around and I see what’s happening and it either makes me sad or it makes me angry. The things we do to each other. I cannot improve anyone else. I cannot get anyone to make sense. To put away their phones in grocery stores, or to treat their pets better. No one in the Middle East gives a Jolly Rancher about what I have to say. Then I see a picture, a drawing, and way out back a bit of Billie Holiday wanders in. You, then, class of 2015. Listen for a while. Listen to the sound of a piece of paper with a gold seal and an auto-pen signature on it. No sound. Then read about love: Read e. e. cummings. Walk into a Frank Gehry building. A plane falls because of a suicide pilot, and a train falls because of who knows what. I was watching CNN in one room, and Mozart was playing in another room. As The Who said, “I can’t explain.” Now go watch the YouTube of Ann and Nancy Wilson’s performance of “Stairway to Heaven” at the Kennedy Center, and just make sure that the thing you do is the thing you love. Best wishes, class of 2015. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net.
Immigration status shouldn’t bar service Let me tell you the story of a constituent of mine named Humberto. His parents brought him to the United States at the age of 2, moving to Colorado when Humberto was 6. A few years ago, Humberto graduated from Aurora Central High School, the high school I attended before leaving after my junior year to enlist in the Army. Like me, Humberto’s dream was to serve his nation in uniform. He wants to be a Marine. Unlike me, due to his parent’s decision to bring him to the United States illegally when he was 2 years old, Humberto can’t go down to the local recruiter’s office and sign up to serve the only country he has ever known. I believe we should give young people like Humberto the opportunity to serve in this country’s military, to serve the country they call home. Earlier this month, during the debate on the annual defense bill, I supported keeping in language that would have urged the Department of Defense to look into whether enlisting people like Humberto made sense. The language was ultimately stripped out of the defense bill, but I want to explain why
I supported keeping it in and why it is in our military’s best interest. Those arguing against the amendment reasoned that their opposition, in part, was based on the fact that there are plenty of young people who want to join the military, so that U.S. Rep. broadening the pool of Mike Coffman eligible applicants to people brought to this GUEST country illegally is not COLUMN only unnecessary, but it is potentially unfair to U.S. citizens who might be edged out by the increased competition. The reality is, according to the Department of Defense, only 1 percent of young people today are “eligible and inclined” to sign up to serve. In fact, last year the Pentagon estimated that 71 percent of 17- to 24-year-olds in the U.S. would not be eligible
to serve in the military due to educational shortcomings, medical issues, drug and alcohol dependency, or criminal records. That is because today’s military has incredibly high standards for enlistment. We have the most qualified personnel serving in uniform in the history of our country, thanks to those high standards. I saw firsthand what low standards can do during my first deployment with the Army’s 1st Armored Division in Europe, 19721974, during the Cold War. The Army had just shifted to an all-volunteer force after Vietnam and was so desperate to fill its ranks that it was all too willing to take those with little formal education and low test scores, and even felons were encouraged to join. Judges were known to tell criminal defendants that they could either join the military or go to jail. As a result, disciplinary problems were extremely high, with one in four soldiers never completing their first enlistment and receiving a less than honorable discharge. Overall readiness suffered as well. Coffman continues on Page 9

School survey request remains stalled Board president says there are other ways to gauge support By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Another in a long line of requests for a Douglas County School District teacher and community survey came during the school board’s May 14 meeting, but board members gave no indication they’ll do one. Retired teacher Gary Colley accused board members of dodging a survey, limiting public input at its meetings and responding to critics with condescension.
“Why is there a fear of doing a valid, comprehensive survey if you’re not afraid of the truth?” asked Colley, who directs the Community Accountability Committee, a group aimed at improving community and board relations. “You … assured the community there would be a survey. You’ve had ample time and resources to provide a comprehensive survey and you failed to do it.” Board President Kevin Larsen said the board has community support. “If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be here,” he said, noting the series of elections during which reform candidates have been elected to the board. “That is one way you find out what the community thinks. We are in tune.
We do hear from a number of people in our interactions throughout the district, on all spectrums. Ultimately, time will tell, but we are connected in our community. We are trying to reach out and we are involved in ways that maybe aren’t always what you see.” During its April meeting, board members called a recent employee survey funded by the teachers’ union an attack on staff, and questioned the objectivity of the agency that conducted it. Two Douglas County parents recently tried to survey teachers, but violated district policy in their efforts to notify staff of the survey. “Why fault those people when they’re try-
ing to do a survey, when you’re not willing to do it yourself?” Colley said. The TELL survey is a statewide, every-other-year educators survey. Recently released results show Douglas County’s teachers feel safe and supported by their individual school communities, but have concerns about the district’s evaluation system. Most school principals also said they don’t feel there is a sense of trust and mutual respect in the district. A district survey hasn’t been done since 2012. Then, DCSD discounted the 6 percent response rate as too small to be statistically valid.
Parents press board to discuss school bond Larsen says district is addressing capital needs, exploring options By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Douglas County School Board President Kevin Larsen said the district isn’t ignoring its $275 million list of unmet capital needs. But a parent said Larsen is ignoring her repeated requests to meet with people who support putting a bond on the November ballot. Members of 28 school accountability committees representing 28,000 students have signed a position statement in favor of asking voters to approve a bond to pay for those needs. Many of them want to meet with Larsen to talk about moving forward with the issue, said Meg Masten, chairwoman of Rock Canyon High School’s School Accountability Committee. “This option is the only long-term, vi-

about 25 percent of the population will live north of Lincoln, another 25 percent south of Lincoln and west of Interstate 25, and the remaining 50 percent in the as-yet unconstructed area of RidgeGate east of I-25 and south of Lincoln. The proposed site “was the only option available to us, and it’s limited in duration,” Mayor Jim Gunning said. “We currently have access to the land, which probably goes away. We currently have some really substantial partners to bring down the cost of the bridge. If there’s ever going to be a pedestrian crossing on the east side of Yosemite, this is our chance.” Gunning said the community meetings will play a heavy role in whether the project proceeds. “We’re for it,” said Lone Tree resident Dave Tanin. “Let’s go with the more distinctive design. If we’re going to go ahead and do it — which we should — I would say go with something that’s going to be a landmark.” Lone Tree resident Todd McCusker supports the arch design. “I think understated elegance is the way to go,” he said. “I can see the leaf becoming dated.”
Coffman Continued from Page 8
Our military benefits from being able to select from the broadest pool of applicants possible in order to maintain high standards, which translates into a total force ready to meet the national security challenges before us. In my view, young people who were brought to the United States illegally as children through no fault of their own, who grew up here, who graduated from high school here, and who often know of no other country, ought to have the op-
able solution to addressing our capital needs without directly cutting from our schools,” Masten said during the board’s May 14 meeting. “We are asking to have a dialogue. Twenty-eight SAC committees, representing nearly half of our students, believe in this. By not responding to me, to me that’s irresponsible and very disrespectful to parents across this district.” Larsen said the school board is working with several committees to identify potential solutions and hasn’t settled on a solution or made a decision about a fall ballot question. “We are not in the place of saying this one solution is the way to go,” Larsen said. “That doesn’t mean we’re ignoring it. To portray it that way is completely false. The things we are doing to address the needs of this district financially continue to be responsible, responsive and involving the entire community.” Increased property valuations will translate into higher property taxes countywide, Larsen said. Douglas County had an average increase in home values of more than 19 per-
Park Meadows Metro District President John Herbolich said he’s seen bridge designs similar to the leaf in other countries, describing them as “so graceful and so elegant they just knock your socks off.” Of the dozen or more people who attended the meeting, Lone Tree’s Vince Miller was the only one who said the project is unnecessary. “If we vote to have this bridge, what’s going to happen when we do the east Lone Tree development?” he said. “They’re going to want to put a pedestrian bridge (there), and I think they should. This one is a huge waste. It’s money that could be used to keep the Lone Tree library annex in this area, and (build) a pool in RidgeGate. And those create returns on your investment. (With a bridge) there’s no income; there’ll be longterm expenses, maintenance and repairs.” But Martha Sippel, who sits on the city’s planning and zoning commission, said such an amenity will significantly enhance property values. “Pedestrian friendly communities are the way of the future,” she said. “I’m all about improving everybody’s property values. And that’s why I moved into a covenant-controlled community that is highly regarded across the area and now, apparently, across the country. To me, it’s a winwin.”
portunity to serve this country if they can meet all of the qualifications. It is not amnesty. It is an opportunity to serve the greatest nation on earth, an opportunity that only the best and the brightest will be given, and by extending that opportunity to young people like Humberto, our military and country will be better off for it. U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) has a combined 21 years of service between the Army, Army Reserve, Marine Corps and Marine Corps Reserve. He sits on both the House Armed Services Committee and the Veterans Affairs Committee.
cent, according to recently released notices. “I’d like to go to the state and fight to make sure (the increased tax revenue) goes to what it was designated for — K-12 education,” he said. “I think it’s incumbent on us we look at all the right combination of solutions.” Ensuring more property tax revenues goes back to the districts from which it came would provide a long-term solution that would benefit districts statewide, Larsen said. “I think we have to go this way; we have to be persuasive at the Legislature,” he said. “Because of your increased assessment, we want to make sure your increased tax goes to your school district rather than some other part of the state budget. This is our opportunity to get it back right. I think that is the strongest compelling thing we can do.” Several board members also said they had concerns about the accuracy of the SAC position statement. David DiCarlo, field director of Americans for Prosperity Douglas County, waved a check in the air as he spoke during the public
comment portion of the meeting. “We all love education,” said DiCarlo, who believes the timing for a bond is wrong. “We all know there are maintenance needs, things that need to be done. So folks, if you’ve got a checkbook tonight, if it’s only a couple lattes, if it’s only $36. Write the check. Put ‘maintenance’ in the note. You don’t have to put anything on the ballot … to give $36.” An existing school bond is set to expire this year. If a new bond isn’t approved this fall to essentially extend the mill levy, Douglas County school taxes would go down by about $36 a year per homeowner. A successful November 2015 bond issue measure would generate about $200 million for DCSD, addressing most of the $275 million in capital needs identified by the district’s Long Range Planning Committee. The board voted in 2014 not to put the measure on the ballot, saying Douglas County residents — already overburdened and paying a disproportionate share of taxes — were unlikely to approve a local funding question.

Leadapalooza Shredding Event Calendar of Events Free Shredding and Electronics Recycling June 6 in Highlands Ranch HIGHLANDS RANCH – Here’s your chance to get rid of those personal documents and outdated TVs, computers, phones and other electronics items taking up space in your home or office. Members of LEADapalooza, one of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce’s leads groups, are offering free shredding and electronics recycling from 9 a.m. to noon on June 6 at 1745 Shea Center Drive in Highlands Ranch, off of Lucent Boulevard a quarter mile south of C470. “This is a great opportunity to get rid of
those old gadgets and personal documents not suitable for the regular trash that are taking up space and collecting dust in your home or office,” said Cheryl Braunschweiger of ALMC Mortgage at NOVA Home Loans and a member of LEADapalooza. Last year, LEADapalooza recycled 40,000 pounds of used electronics items, shredded 10,000 pounds of documents and raised $4,000 for Boy Scout Troop 4 of Littleton, whose members helped with the event. “The shredding truck provided by SHREDIT was so full the sides were bulging,”
Braunschweiger said. “And Techno+Rescue had to bring in several extra trucks because of the tremendous volume of electronics items collected for recycling.” Items eligible for recycling include laptop and desktop computers, printers, copiers, phones, stereo equipment, fax machines, monitors, TVs — basically anything that plugs into the wall or runs on batteries except large appliances. Cabling, electronic wiring and alkaline/single-use batteries can also be recycled. TVs are limited to one per household. Hard drives will go through Department of Defense approved data destruction. The recycling and data destruction will be performed by Techno+Rescue of Aurora. Documents eligible for shredding include bank statements, medical records, cancelled checks, paycheck stubs or anything else with personal or confidential information. There’s no need to remove staples, paper clips, alligator clips, etc. Items NOT being accepted are trash, pop cans, newspapers, household plastics, light bulbs and large appliances. Each person is welcome to bring up to three copy boxes or one large trash bag of documents. All documents will be destroyed on site by Shred-It, a professional documentdestruction company with locations throughout the United States. Although the recycling and shredding are free, local Boy Scout troops will be on hand to help and will be accepting donations of cash to support their troop activities. Sixteen companies who are members of LEADapalooza are underwriting the cost as a public service. They are: ALMC Mortgage at NOVA Home Loans; Arrow B Architecture; Blue Zenith; C Squared Computer Consulting; Centennial Leasing & Sales; Experience Pros Radio Show; Halo Branded Solution; Handyman Matters; Holly Mullins, Farmers Insurance Group; Major Mom; Mark Thomas, RE/MAX Professionals; Nexus Financial Services; PearleVision-Streets@ SouthGlenn; Riviera Finance; RMK Cartridge and Dr. Lee Weisbard, DDS.

Construction looms on WISE pipeline Briefs Continued from Page 11
Work on major water project will continue into 2016 By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Construction is set to begin on one of the Denver metro area’s biggest water projects. Western Summit Constructors Inc. has been contracted to oversee the design and construction of major infrastructure for the Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency project. Construction will begin in June and continue into 2016, when water deliveries will begin. “This is a significant milestone in our long-term plan to transition to a renewable water supply,” said Eric Hecox, executive director of the South Metro Water Supply Authority. “With construction agreements now in place, we will break ground in coming weeks to begin connecting water systems throughout the Denver metro area.” The South Metro WISE Authority is made up of 10 water providers that are all part of the larger South Metro Water Supply Authority. Nine of those water providers — Centennial, Cottonwood, Dominion, Inverness, Meridian, Parker, Pinery, Stonegate Village and Castle Rock — are located in Douglas County. The 10th, Ran-
geview Metropolitan District, is located in Aurora. The WISE project began in 2008 as a way for members to identify processes, cost, distribution, timing, storage and legal issues relating to distributing treated reusable water return flows from Denver and Aurora for use by SMWSA water users. The group tasked with utilizing this water is the South Metro WISE Authority. The primary purpose of the authority is to reduce members’ dependence on nonrenewable Denver Basin wells and provide a reliable, long-term water supply for residents. The WISE members are funding the new infrastructure that will move the water from Aurora’s Binney Water Purification Facility to its end locations, beginning in 2016. Water purchased by Douglas County entities, as well as by some of the other providers, will be stored at the Rueter-Hess Reservoir south of Parker. Aurora’s Prairie Waters system will provide the backbone for delivering water from the South Platte when Aurora and Denver Water have available water supplies and capacity. The water will be distributed to the south metro communities through an existing pipeline shared with Denver and East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District, plus new infrastructure that will be constructed over the next 16 months.
John Denver tribute artist performs free John Denver tribute artist Mark Cormican will perform a benefit concert at 6:30 p.m. May 30 at Castlewood Canyon State Park. The event is in the Pikes Peak Amphitheater of the park at 2989 S. Highway 83 south of Franktown and is presented by Friends of Castlewood Canyon State Park. The concert is free, but donations are appreciated. All proceeds will help support Castlewood Canyon park programs. A valid Colorado State Parks pass is required for admission. In 2014, Friends of Castlewood Canyon provided $30,000 for the purchase of the Kleinert home, an 1887 homestead. In 2012, Friends began paying for buses to bring underserved school children to Castlewood for environment education and interpretive programs, an effort that continues today.

From deployment to employment Nonprofit helps veterans transition into work world By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Micah Schulz knows first-hand the difficulty of readjusting to civilian life after a tour of duty. The U.S. Army veteran from Lone Tree finished his degree when he returned from Iraq, but soon found himself wasting away his days, he said, in an unfulfilling telecomm sales position. Since then, he’s bounced around, serving as a food distributor for coffeehouses while trying to get his start-up going. “There was nothing comparable to the military experience, where you feel like you’re doing something for the bettergood of your country and your people,” Schulz said. “Trying to find that in the civilian world was a struggle for sure. That’s what I’ve been kind of seeking ever since I’ve been out.” Schulz’s story illustrates a common issue for the nation’s returning veterans: finding their ways in the professional world after years of combat training. It’s not only the missing element of camaraderie that came with his time in the Army, but a lack of applicable real-world skills. That’s part of the reason why a team of seasoned voice-over actors decided to create Warrior Voices, a nonprofit that instructs and equips veterans with the tools necessary to succeed in the voice-over industry. It also connects them with job opportunities. “People are looking for a way to give back to veterans,” said Rob Reese, founder and CEO of Warrior Voices. Schulz and Chad Ritter, a U.S. Marine from Centennial who was medically retired, were two of the veterans who recently attended an open casting call at Southglenn Public Library. They were surprised by Warrior Voices’ willingness to show them the ropes and intrigued by the possibilities the industry has to offer. “When someone comes and attends classes, we’re opening that world to them,” said Reese, a Parker resident. With frequent medical appointments at the VA hospital, it was difficult for Ritter to hold down a regular job. He wasn’t sure where his skill set would fit in, and he’s not yet comfortable in unfamiliar settings. Warrior Voices brings together veterans that can bond over shared experiences. “In the Marine Corps, I fit in and I mattered, and when I got out, I kind of stum-
Yes, I have interviewed national celebrities including Oprah and Richard Simmons during my many years as a journalist. But nothing thrills me more than to be recognized by our local notables. So the May 20 cocktail reception for the Jack A. Vickers Invitational Golf Tournament, a benefit for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, was a fame
fun fest for me. I loved reconnecting with Hall-of-Famer Broncos QB John Elway and his buffed wife, Paige, who dished with me about being on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” with my favorite talk-show host Andy Cohen. Paige confessed to following most of the “Housewives” franchises (I am obsessed), and I urged her to add “The Shahs of Sunset” to her playlist. I also sidled up to former Broncos QB Brian Griese, who doesn’t age, and retired NBA great Chauncey Billups, who asked me where I have been. Really? Don’t ask me what I said because I was overwhelmed that he even knew who I was! Andrisen-Morton menswear spokesmodel Craig Andrisen started the live auction by commenting on the inclement weather, “This is the first annual Jack Vickers snowball fight. Next year we are going to Vail.” Billups took a turn at the mic. “Thanks to Mr. Vickers for supporting my neighborhood. Give what you can because it’s going to good people. I remember going to the rec center every day of my life.” The hearty partiers hit the Castle Pines links the next morning. Bless their frozen selves.
Steuben’s coming to Arvada
Micah Schulz reads a script for his first voice-over at Southglenn Public Library in late April. bled around from job to job, trying to find something that had that brotherhood again,” Ritter said. “This gives people a purpose, and it builds camaraderie just sitting with some of the other veterans and doing stuff with them again.” Ritter views Warrior Voices as a new frontier, one that he can conquer at his own pace. With experts guiding his way, Ritter is eager to get started. He and Schulz recorded their first voice-overs in the library’s multimedia room, and they will learn the ins and outs of voice-over acting during a five-week academy that starts in late June. Likewise, Schulz enjoys the creativity and independence that comes with voiceover acting. “I’m very excited to see how I can develop myself and learn from these guys and see what this industry has to offer and what I can offer it,” he said. Reese partnered with accomplished voice-over actors Andrew Reed, Norm Silver and Bill LeVasseur, as well as police officer Phil Saraff, who will incorporate an element of emotional awareness for veter-
WHAT IS A VOICE-OVER? Pre-recorded audio of an unseen narrator; often used in cartoon series, commercials, instructional videos, audio books, corporate training videos, movie trailers and films (especially documentaries).
Josh Wolkon, the Denver-centric restaurateur who has brought this town Vesta Dipping Grill, Steuben’s and Ace, is branching out to the ’burbs with a second outpost of Steuben’s in Olde Town Arvada, according to a story on Eater Denver’s website. Wolkon, who opened the diner/comfort food concept in Uptown nine years ago, said that the reception he received from the Arvada Office of Economic Development encouraged him to venture outside the comfort of Denver’s city limits. That and the fact that he could purchase the real estate in a former Gunther Toody’s space at 7355 Ralston Road. The Steuben’s sequel will take its culinary direction from chef Brandon Beiderman. “We see a lot of guests Uptown from the Arvada direction, so the concept is clearly a good fit for the demographic,” Wolkon told Eater Denver. ”The Arvada Office of Economic Development has been instrumental in attracting us to Arvada. They have been great to work with and are very proactive throughout this process.” The new Steuben’s is slated to open late this year. See the whole story at www.denver.eater.com/2015/5/15/8611627/steubens-olde-town-arvada.
Ground broken for Z Block ans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Schulz predicts that the popularity of Warrior Voices, which launched in January, will skyrocket. “I think once more people find out about it, it’s just going to be amazing,” he said. Casting calls for veterans and their spouses are scheduled for 2 to 7 p.m. May 28 and June 1 at the Southglenn Public Library, 6972 S. Vine St., Centennial. For more information or to sign up for the free five-week academy, go to www. warriorvoices.org.
Ground was broken in May for Z Block, on Wazee Street between 18th and 19th streets, a hotel and retail/restaurant project being built by McWhinney, a Coloradobased real estate investment, management and development company. McWhinney has joined with former Union Station partner Sage Hospitality, together with Newmark Grubb Knight Frank and longtime property owner Grand American, to redevelop Denver’s historic Windsor Dairy Block.

bumps into me — heck, I almost spilled my Diet Coke. She apologizes profusely, and I recognize her as Dana Perino. I ask how her book, “And the Good News Is ...” is doing. She says, ‘Not bad.’ Long story short, we sit down at a nearby table and talk for what seems like an hour, all the while sharing some croissants and OJ. As I get up to leave, she asks, ‘Dale, would you like a signed copy of my New York Times list best-seller?’ I say, ‘Sure!’ (I mean, what else COULD I say?) And then she hands her cellphone to the store manager, who snaps a photo of us. Pretty cool. Celeste (Dale’s wife) and I hope to have her over for chips and salsa soon.”

SPIRITUAL VOICES Spring Concert The Bennie L. Williams Spiritual Voices will perform with guest artist Corey Harris at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 29, at Bethany Lutheran Church, 4500 E. Hampden Ave., Cherry Hills Village. African-American slaves used the spirituals to affirm their essential humanity in the face of oppression. The words of the songs were often stories from the Bible that told about freedom and a hope for a better future. The influence of the spirituals became the basis for the blues. Born out of African rhythms and combined with instrumentation the blues are about personal struggle and perseverance, and have become an expression of cultural and political rebellion. Tickets available at http:// www.blwspiritualvoices.org/events.html, via email at blw.spiritual.voices@gmail.com, or by calling 720-460-8219.

Mountain Vista star nets major honor
Soccer champ Chastain presents Pugh with national award
By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com
Mallory Pugh was stymied for probably the only time this spring when she was asked what she was going to do for an encore. The 17-year-old Mountain Vista junior was surprised while in class May 21 by her teammates, family, and U.S. gold medal-winning Olympian and World Cup champion player Brandi Chastain, who presented Pugh with the Gatorade National Girls Soccer Player of the Year award. Pugh has the talent to keep improving at the high school level and as a member of the U.S. Under 20 national team. Along with 11 other national winners, Pugh has been invited to Los Angeles in July, when she could receive an encore as Gatorade’s overall national Female Athlete of the Year. She and her family will also walk down the red carpet at the ESPY awards, which follows the Gatorade national ceremony. The Gatorade winners are selected on the basis of athletic achievement, academic excellence and exemplary character. Pugh is, as Heritage coach Adam Buseck told Gatorade, “The best player in high school soccer I’ve ever seen.” She has a 3.68 grade point average, and she has volunteered as part of initiatives that help pediatric patients at Children’s Hospital. She has also spent time aiding Panther Pantry, which serves needy Douglas County families, and with Tennyson Center for Children. Pugh joins two other Colorado girls who have been honored with the National Girls Soccer Player of the Year award. Green Mountain’s Aleisha Cramer-Rose won in 2000, and Mary McDowell of Wheat Ridge earned the distinction in 2001. “I was surprised,” said Pugh who has committed to play at UCLA. “Someone walked into class, I looked and all my teammates were there. I saw my parents, and I said, ‘What is going on?’ Then Brandi came with the trophy, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ “I’m thankful and really honored. I know I could not have done it without my teammates, my family and my coaches,” Pugh added. “It’s a team award because they push me every day to get better. I can’t thank them enough for the friendships we’ve built and the support they give me. It’s off the charts.” Because of her national team commitments, Pugh played in 10 of Mountain Vista’s 19 games this season, but she had a big impact on those games. She scored 24 goals and had 12 assists. Over the past three seasons, Mountain Vista is 32-0 in games in which Pugh has played. Mountain Vista coach Theresa Echter-
World Cup star and gold medal-winning Olympian Brandi Chastain, center-left, was at Mountain Vista High School on May 21 to present Mallory Pugh, center-right, with the Gatorade National Girls Soccer Player of the Year award. Pugh is surrounded by her Mountain Vista teammates. Photo by Jim Benton meyer praised Pugh for her dedication, humility, ability to make people laugh, and being a role model. She also couldn’t say enough about her as a player. “They call soccer the beautiful game, well Mallory takes a beautiful game to the next level,” said Echtermeyer. “Watching her play is not only beautiful it is magical. “She can take over a game in an instant, she can beat three or four defenders and take the ball to the line, shoot and deliver a perfect serve to whoever is in the box. She wants the toughest challenges because she knows in the end that those challenges make her better.” Chastain was edgy walking into the history class to surprise Pugh, but later lauded her talents. “I’ve been to many awards ceremonies, and I’ve been ask to throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium, but I was more nervous to present this award to Mallory because it’s very special, very unique and you want to get it right,” she said. “I wanted to surprise her in a way so she would remember the moment. “Mallory has a lot of great qualities. She has great agility, she has great quickness, she’s a game changer and at any minute she can break a game wide open and not many players can do that. The most impressive thing about Mallory is she has a change of pace that is surprising, yet at the same time she does this explosive movement she also has this composure to do the job in each moment. She’s very unique and very mature for her age.”

May showers bring spring-sports headaches
Soggy weather creates havoc for schedules
By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com
All the rain that has made grass all over the state a dark green has caused havoc for the Colorado High School Activities Association in trying to get the spring sports state championships completed. The 5A girls state golf tournament at the Olde Course in Loveland was cut from 36 holes to 18, since the course was only playable for the first round on May 18. Both rounds of the Class 4A tournament at the River Valley course in Carbondale were played despite damp conditions. “With the weather, the girls left some shots out there that they normally wouldn’t,” said Rock Canyon coach Dave Vahling, whose team was second in the one-day Class 5A event. “The second day they could have improved. I would have liked to have seen better weather so we could have played under better conditions, because that brings the best out of the players.”
‘With the weather, the girls left some shots out there that they normally wouldn’t.’ Rock Canyon girls golf coach Dave Vahling Girls soccer, and boys and girls lacrosse were played mostly on artificial turf surfaces and were completed with just slight delays for lightning. The girls state tennis tournaments were delayed two days because of the weather. The three-day state track meet was completed as scheduled May 14-16. The baseball tournaments were affected the most by the rain, which made fields unplayable. District baseball tournaments in every classification were postponed and rescheduled. After multiple postponements, the Class 4A double-elimination state tournament was moved to Metro State, and four games were played to finish the first weekend’s schedule. The remaining four teams were to play May 26 and 27 at All-Star Park in Lakewood, weather permitting. Semifinals in the Class 5A state tournament, which also had earlier delays, were
scheduled for May 22, but All-City Field was unplayable. Two games were rescheduled for May 26 and May 27 at All-City. In the event AllCity Field was still not dry, the games were to be played May 29 and 30. “We had graduation of the seniors, and with all the postponed games, you wonder where they are mentally, knowing they are done with school,” said Mountain Vista baseball coach Ron Quintana, whose team was among the final four in Class 5A. “Plus you’re stuck indoors because of all the rain, and the field is underwater. So being indoors is another challenge to keeping the boys focused.” The Class 3A baseball semifinals at Butch Butler Field in Greeley were rescheduled until May 26 and May 27. The frequent rains have obviously been a headache for CHSAA. “This is, in my memory, as extensive as I can remember,” said Assistant Commissioner
Bert Borgmann. “Part of the problem is you’re disrupting academic schedules. That’s one of the things you hate. You don’t want to try to reschedule onto a graduation time, so we try to work around some of those kinds of things. Getting umpires sometimes is a challenge if you are going midweek. Sometimes that impacts who is available.” And the delays are costly for CHSAA, which in one case had to rent Metro State for two additional days. “It certainly hurts at the gate,” said Borgmann. “And there are aspects to it that you just don’t like because you are also disrupting people’s work schedules and those kinds of things, and you are disrupting schedules at your facilities. There are expenses for doing things like that (moving to Metro State), but at the same time you have to hope that facilities are available.” Rock Canyon baseball coach Tyler Munro, whose Jaguars remained in contention for the 5A crown, said one bright spot is the delays give pitchers more time to rest. But, overall, he agrees, “it’s not good.” “Vacations are starting to come up and I’m worried about that … I’ll start losing a player and coach here and there.”

Lacrosse player ends prep career with roar By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Castle View senior midfielder Max Tuttle is Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year. File photo
Castle View senior midfielder Max Tuttle reached two of his objectives in lacrosse this season. Tuttle was the goal-scoring Class 5A leader with 54 during the 2014 campaign, but he wanted to be a better team player and dish out more assists this season. This year, he led Class 5A in both goals with 59 and points with 114 after racking up 55 assists. He has been selected as the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year. Along with his 54 goals a year ago, he finished with just 16 assists for 70 points. “Before the season started I made it my goal every time I stepped on the field to try to be the best player on the field, and then, numberswise, I kind of wanted to reach 100 points this season,” said Tuttle. “And I did that.” Castle View advanced to the state quarterfinals and finished with a 13-4 record. “Max has been a tremendous pleasure to coach and to watch this year,” said Sabercats coach Jose Trujillo. “His vision and field pres-
ence kept his teammates involved in the games, but when it was needed, he carried the team on his back. “He worked harder in the offseason than any player that I’ve ever seen, and that commitment and SOUTH METRO dedication showed with ATHLETES his growth and continued OF THE YEAR excellence as a team lacrosse player. His individual talent won some games for us, but his ability to involve his teammates made this the most successful team in Castle View boys lacrosse history. He will be missed.” Tuttle, who will play next season at Sacred Heart, claims the Sabercats were one of the surprise 5A teams this season. “The season went great,” said Tuttle. “Our team came together really well, and I attribute that to how we all played and worked out together in the offseason. We exceeded a lot of people’s expectations.’’
Par for the course: Regis holds off Rock Canyon Next year looks bright for Jaguars’ young girls golf team By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Rock Canyon’s girls golf team played second fiddle to the Regis Jesuit squad all during the Continental League season. It was the same case during the Class 5A state tournament at the Olde Course in Loveland on May 18. Defending champion Regis won the tourney, which was trimmed from 36 holes to a one-day event because weather
made the course unplayable for the final round. Regis won the team title with a 221 total, and the Jaguars came in second for the second straight season with a 234 aggregate. Rock Canyon coach Dave Vahling, however, can’t wait until next year since he had two sophomores and a freshman among his four players competing in the state tournament. “Regis’ one, two, three players were about as good as you can get,” said Vahling. “We’re almost there. They have a little more experience, but next year I really feel it will be our turn. “That little bit of experience that the Regis girls had made a difference. Next season, we have a very, very good chance
of taking it all.” Sophomore Alexis Chan led the Jaguars with a 1-over par 73 to finish tied for third on the individual leaderboard. Another sophomore, Ameila Lee, carded a 77 for Rock Canyon. Heritage, paced by Delaney Benson with an 80 and Joanna Kempton with an 81, was fifth in the team standings. Molly Lucas shot an 82 as Cherry Creek tied for seventh. Anna Kennedy was Legend’s top scorer with an 83 as the Titans tied for 12th place. Jenna Chun, with 85, was the best finisher for Highlands Ranch, while Piper Coy came in with an 86 to pace Arapahoe. “With the weather, the girls left some shots out there that they normally
wouldn’t,” said Vahling. “I’m pleased with our finish. I would have liked to have seen better weather so we could have played under better conditions because that brings the best out of the players.” In the Class 4A state tournament at the par-72 River Valley Ranch course in Carbondale, two rounds were played, and Valor Christian was third with a 517 total to finish behind Cheyenne Mountain and Colorado Academy. Ashley Roo and Makayla Dahl each were at 172 for the Eagles. Roo had rounds of 90 and 82, while Dahl shot 83 and 89. Isabella Morfe was right behind at 173 after carding an 89 on the first day and an 84 in the second round.

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 25, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might not like some people’s idea of a surprise. But you could be in for a pleasant shock when someone finally sends a reply to a request you made so long ago that you almost forgot about it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a time to expect the unexpected. So don’t be surprised if a decision that just recently seemed final suddenly opens up and leaves you with another chance to make an important choice. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Taking a different tack on a work project might rankle some colleagues. But the positive results of your innovative course soon speak for themselves. Celebrate with a fun-filled weekend. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Meeting new associates can be awkward, even if you’re in a high positive phase right now. Best advice: Make them feel comfortable, and you’ll soon forget your own discomfort.
