Rec center expansion proposed Renovation would cost $12 million to $15 million By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Town council will soon decide whether to go forward with a renovation that will expand and “reinvent” the Parker Recreation Center. At the direction of council, Parks and Recreation Director Jim Cleveland presented three options for the proposal during a

study session May 13 at town hall. The rec center opened in 1994 and has become “old and outdated,” and the size and amenities are no longer sufficient to satisfy the level of demand, Cleveland said. All three project options include plans to double the size of the pool. There are waiting lists for aquatics programs and the existing pool lacks a leisure component, with the exception of the water slide. It has limited appeal for kids and seniors, Cleveland said. Lap lanes, a zero-depth area with a play structure, and a lazy river are among the improvements being considered.

The recreation staff recommended a new lobby and revamped parking lot with 85 to 95 more spaces; the outdoor inline hockey rinks would be removed to add parking. The town would likely increase the number of family changing rooms because there is sometimes a line to get into the only family changing area available. Options 2 and 3 include plans for more exercise rooms on the second level to increase the number of fitness classes. If council approves option 3, a half-gymnasium also would be added to accommodate more basketball, volleyball, gymnastics,

fencing, pickle ball and other sports. Cleveland said such moves would help maintain the center’s long-term appeal. He is taking a businesslike approach to the proposed renovation by trying to find opportunities for revenue generation. The project would also turn weaknesses into strengths and possibly recapture those Parker residents who travel to Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Aurora for indoor fitness. New or renovated square footage ranges from 21,000 square feet for option 1 to Expansion continues on Page 8

Teachers’ salaries get boost District budget also would bring higher per-student funding By Jane Reuter

Firefighters practice rope rescues Agencies heed lessons of Castlewood Canyon By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com A Christmas Day rescue, which called on a team of 20, prompted local fire agencies to boost their training on steep-terrain rope rescues. Fire agencies from Franktown, Elizabeth, Castle Rock and Larkspur on May 7 honed their skills on climbing cliffs such as those in Castlewood Canyon State Park. Castlewood Canyon was the site of a Christmas 2012 rescue that required the help of Douglas County’s search and rescue team. The team was joined by Franktown firefighters to rescue a 20-year-old man who had fallen about 50 feet when he slipped near the park waterfalls. While the man was brought to safety within about two hours of the call, the experience moved agencies to include multiagency rope training on their 2013 list. “In Franktown, we have Castlewood Canyon with a lot of recreational climbing,” said Ryan Bray, Franktown firefighter. “We found we need to familiarize ourselves with the capabilities of surrounding agencies. Different skills call for different thought processes, and this is a skill we need to practice and improve.” Bray helped lead the day of training on a cliff east of Castle Rock with terrain similar to that at Castlewood Canyon. The training was made up of three sessions throughout the day, to include firefighters from all

Howard is an EMT at the Larkspur Fire Protection District. agencies and all shifts. To mimic a complicated rescue, the cliff was selected for its 90-degree drop, calling for the use of a tripod pivotal to a successful rescue. The tripod is set near the cliff’s edge to add height at the peak of the climb, giving rescuers who are carrying equipment more control in the first few steps while

lowering down the side, Bray said. “They are fun calls,” he said. “We added more challenging components, rather than a low-angle call.” A rescue in such conditions would begin with having a rescuer rappel to the bottom to assess the victim’s condition, Bray Rescue continues on Page 8

The Douglas County School District plans an average 4 percent pay increase for teachers in 2013-14, one of several good-news budget recommendations announced May 7. But under the district’s new pay-forperformance program, not all teachers are guaranteed an increase. Teachers rated “ineffective” would not get more money, according to DCSD. Pay for performance is “a bit of a change from the past,” said school board president John Carson. “But we expect, by and large, teachers are going to do well under (pay for performance), so on average it’s going to be 4 percent.” DCSD cites the improvCarson ing state economy and indistrict savings for allowing the budget changes, which also include more money for students and the elimination of a $25 parent-paid technology fee. The expected state-provided per-pupil revenue will increase by about $165 per student. The district also will add its own money to that pot for a total funding increase of $200 per student, which totals $11.2 million. “We’re going to be able to put $200 more (per student) into the classrooms because we’ve found efficiencies in the overall budget, so we can do even a little better than what we’re getting from the state,” Carson said. DCSD plans to cover the $2.2 million annual increase in contributions to the Public Employees Retirement Association of Colorado, and the $1.2 million increase in medical plan costs for all teachers. That leaves $12 million — or 4 percent — for salaries, half of which will be a permanent pay increase and the other half a one-year, one-time bump. “This will be our second consecutive year of raises after a number of years where the economy didn’t allow for raises,” Carson said. “Now we’re back on track to where we think we’ll be able to continue giving our teachers regular raises.” Salaries continues on Page 8

Markets sprout, and farmers survive The early morning chill, left over from winter’s most recent unwelcome blast, settles along the quiet street where blue and white canopies have popped up like overdue buds, signaling the arrival of the season’s first farmers market. Soft music, lingering from a nearby restaurant, punctures the hush, along with occasional laughter and voices from vendors as they ready tables with wares and hopes for a good day. Danish bakery workers pull sugarcrusted strudels — apricot and apple raisin — from their truck to shelves along the sidewalk. Nearby is the homemade peanut butter woman and the Angus beef man and the cheerful El Salvador cook. At the end is the farmer. He is 63, the great-grandson of a farmer who bought a plot of land 108 years ago in Welby, between Denver and Thornton, off North Washington Street. Today, he has 80 acres in Hudson, a country town of 2,300 northeast of Denver on Interstate 76, a solid hour-and15-minute drive to the Sunday market in Highlands Ranch. He stands next to his white truck, watching the market unfold, an everpresent cigarillo clutched in a weathered hand that tells a story of a working life rooted in the soil. He is a content man whose easy smiles crinkle soft grooves around blue eyes that peer intently from a sun-worn face. “I might not be farming today if it weren’t for the markets,” Alan Mazzotti says. “They’ve kept us in business.” And they’ve kept us, the customers, connected to a less complicated time, when people knew who had grown the food on their table — a slice of knowledge that cultivated gratitude and nurtured community. Sean and Maria McAfee, married 22 years, can’t drive by a farmers market without stopping, whether it’s along the

coastal drive to San Francisco or in their hometown. When they lived in Evergreen, they visited the local market there every Tuesday. Now, in Highlands Ranch, they never miss a Sunday. It’s a matter of principle and a matter of friendship. Besides the benefit of fresh produce, “I’d rather pay a little more to support local people,” Maria says. “We’re big believers in moving away from the Walmartization of the U.S.” And, over the years, many vendors have become friends — the Angus beef man invited them to his wedding last year. “They become part of the fabric of your life,” Maria says. “We were so excited,” Sean says of the week leading up to opening day. “We were talking about this all week.” They walk away, hand in hand, each with a small bag. Basil and oregano seedlings in one, peanut butter, pasta and honey in the other. This time, “we didn’t have a lot to buy,” Maria says. “It was seeing old friends.” Colorado has more than 100 farmers markets, with about half in the Denver metro area, according to the state Department of Agriculture. They operate individually or through sponsoring organizations. Most are seasonal, running from May through October, and their arrival seems to signal the start — finally

— of summer. The Metro Denver Farmers Market, founded 36 years ago, is the oldest organization. And that’s how long Mazzotti, an original member, has been selling at the outdoor markets, which he estimates have kept 70 percent of local farmers in business. In fact, he says, most farmers grow specifically for the markets. He has corn, carrots, green beans, cauliflower, sweet corn, cucumbers, winter and summer squashes, parsley, basil. “I can’t think fast enough,” he says as he rattles off the list. Farmers do have other outlets such as fruit and vegetable stands, garden centers and pumpkin patches. But they expect to earn most of their money in the summer markets. They are, however, no longer just for farmers. Walk through any market and you’ll see the realization of a melting pot of dreams. There’s the gourmet nut man, stirring almonds with a wooden paddle in a copper vat as a tantalizing aroma draws a crowd. There’s a local children’s book author. And there’s Monse Perez Hines, the young Salvadoran wife of a military man, who drives up from Colorado Springs each week to sell curtido and pupusas, traditional foods she makes in her home which are so popular she always returns with empty coolers. “I’ve received such great support from everyone here,” she says. And “I’ve been able to share my culture.” And Evi Bujdoso of Hungary, selling Danish pastries. She wears a white apron, and her short, blond hair pokes out from beneath a white cap. A half hour from closing time, just a handful of strudels and a few croissants are left. “We weren’t prepared all the way,” she says with a slight accent and a quick smile. “People were excited to see us back again.”

ealtyClubUSA Promotes Local Merchant Deals. For the past 25 years, Realty Club USA founders, Rick Chana and Gini Scott, have built, sold and marketed more that $700 million in real estate in and around the Parker area, including the highly acclaimed Timbers community on the southern end of The Pinery. Their clients are always asking them to recommend a good landscaper, handyman, basement remodeler, etc…not to mention where to shop, eat and play in and around Parker. So they decided to expand their real estate business to include a local merchant referral program complete with free and $2 for $1 discount certificates. “It’s like combining a real estate company, Angie’s List and a daily deal concept all under one web site,” explains Chana. “Our participating Parker merchants love the concept which affords them a free advertising venue to promote their goods and services…while Douglas and Elbert County residents benefit from the merchants’ never-before-offered discounts.” At the heart of the discounts is RealtyClub’s offer to list Sellers’ homes for as little as a 1% real estate commission. Additional savings come from such diverse offers as free real estate legal consultation to annual cash back from one of the nation’s largest mortgage lenders. Although RealtyClubUSA’s emphasis is on products and services for the home, the company’s web site has a “Hometown Services” link to include discounts on everything from fine jewelry to hair salons and mas-

sages to fly fishing lessons. “Our $2-for-$1 club certificates make great gifts for the holidays, especially Mother’s and Father’s Days,” points out Ms. Scott. Chana and Scott are particularly proud of the “shop local” theme of RealtyClubUSA. “As small, local businessmen, ourselves, we strongly support the idea of local residents patronizing local businesses. We are also strong proponents of local business supporting local charities. As a result, RealtyClub will be donating a percentage of all gross revenues to the Parker Task Force, Double Angel and other popular local nonprofits.” To celebrate the company’s Grand Opening, RealtyClubUSA is giving away an 8 day/7 night dream vacation to Orlando’s Disney World for a family of four. Participants in the sweepstakes drawing may register on-line at www.realtyclubusa.com, at the Parker Days Festival (June 14-16) or at the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo (August 8-11) where the winner will be randomly drawn.

As vendors begin to pack up, Mazzotti stands by his truck, behind the tables and ground laden with pansies, petunias and geraniums in planters, baskets and trays. Herb seedlings, also from his greenhouse, sit in the canopy shade. It’s too early in the season for most vegetables and fruit. The day’s proceeds: Just OK. “A little chilly,” he explains. But that’s all right. He’s reconnected with many of his customers, some now friends, like the brothers in their 90s at the Auraria market in Denver that he’s known for 30 years and who even visit his farm at times. Next week, he hopes to bring asparagus, spinach and lettuce with his flowers. Come June, he’ll be trucking loads of vegetables to six markets a week. Down the row of vendors, he watches canopies folding shut — like tulips closing at day’s end. Like the others, he loads up and heads for home. “I’m tired,” he says. A smile quickly appears. “I’m getting older every day.” And rest won’t come until the plants are back in the greenhouse, the truck is cleaned, the crops tended, the chores all done. Then, he’ll enjoy the peace of the land, the lack of pavement that traps heat, the friendliness of country neighbors. “I have to make a living. I have to feed my family, too.” But more than anything, he says, working the land and sharing its yield with the rest of us, “is a way of life.” A farmer’s life. And a good life. You’ll find farmers markets listed at www. coloradofarmers.org. Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

Legend High School Lutheran High seniors seniors raised the bar guided by faith, lessons Athletics program stepped up with accomplishments of Class of 2013

62 students set to enter next phase of life

By Jane Reuter jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com

Legend High School’s 431 graduating Titans leave big shoes for next year’s seniors to fill. “This class raised the bar of our athletics,” Principal Corey Wise said, citing success in baseball and basketball. “A lot of these guys were instrumental in our fi rst victory over Ponderosa in football.” It’s fitting then that their class motto, “Don’t count the days, make the days count,” comes from one of the world’s greatest athletes, Muhammad Ali. They’re also a compassionate class, helping grant the wishes of two chronically ill children this year through a Make-A-Wish fundraiser.

Lutheran High School’s seniors are departing with two important elements in their back pockets: knowledge and faith. The school’s tagline, prominently displayed at the top of its website’s homepage, says, “Nurturing academic excellence, encouraging growth in Christ.” The 62 students graduating from Lutheran this year also have chosen a class verse — Galatians 3:28 — that represents an all-inclusive ideology: “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

Like a proud parent, Wise reflects on how the students have changed. Because Legend was a new school when they entered it and lockers weren’t readily available, as freshman the now-graduating senior carried backpacks “that weighed as much as they did.” “I’ve seen them grow into young adults,” Wise said. “I’m so proud of them collectively.” The class song, Imagine Dragons’ “It’s Time,” sug-

gests the new worlds that wait for them beyond Legend’s walls. They’ll make that formal transition during a 9 a.m. May 22 graduation ceremony at Sports Authority Stadium. Class officers who will participate in the ceremony include Student Body President Madison Porter, Senior Class President Noah Mills, Senior Class Treasurer Jesse Van Divier and Senior Class Representative Adam Peszek.

That is among the messages that will be read as the seniors gather at the school for a commencement ceremony at 6 p.m. May 24. The school’s 291 stu-

Wolverines leaving with head held high Principal to bid farewell during commencement By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Chaparral High School’s senior class is heading out into the world equipped with a strong determination to succeed. The class motto, borrowed from Apple founder Steve Jobs, reflects not only their drive, but a willingness to be themselves: “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Numbers are still being tallied, but the 463 members of Chaparral’s class of 2013 have racked up more than $13 million in scholarships. And while they will be spread out at

colleges and universities throughout the country, the class song, Phillip Phillips’ “Home,” shows the Wolverines’ attachment to their town. Outgoing Principal Ron Peterson, a longtime fixture at Chaparral High School and an immense influence on the students who have passed through its doors, will bid a fond farewell and leave the class with a few final words of wisdom. Speeches will also be made by a handful of students, including senior class President Emma Sullivan. The other class officers include Vice President Kristen Sjobakken, Secretary Jill Hanrahan and Treasurer Katarina Hine. The upcoming commencement ceremony — at 9 a.m. May 23 at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker — will bring tears of joy to the seniors and tears of pride from family members.

Mustangs ready for the future, and beyond Nearly 300 Ponderosa students to graduate this year By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Ponderosa High School’s class of 2013 will gather to reflect on the past and celebrate what is sure to be a bright future. The school’s commencement ceremony at 8 a.m. May 21 at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker will be marked by moments of sheer joy, seen on the faces of those finally receiving their diplomas, and wild applause from brothers, sisters, parents and grandparents. The approximately 296 Mustangs who

will graduate this year have a lot to smile about. They have relied not only on teachers to get them through, but also the support of friends. That closeness is reflected in the choice of class song, Jack Johnson’s “Better Together.” Class President Chet Shutack and Principal Chuck Puga will be among those speaking about the Class of 2013 during the graduation event. The seniors’ outlook on the future is summed up by a quote from a movie that came out the year many of them were born. The catchphrase from Disney Pixar’s “Toy Story” came from Buzz Lightyear, “To infinity and beyond!” The 1,150-student school is sending a new group out to conquer its goals, but those who are leaving won’t soon forget where they got their foundation for success.

Shared workplace concept launched Entrepreneur opens site in downtown Parker By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcolorado news.com A Parker entrepreneur is counting on community collaboration to blast his latest venture into the stratosphere. Actually, Brian Dickman is hoping to go beyond with Deep Space Workplace & Event Center, a place in downtown Parker that enables home-based business owners to get into an office setting. Deep Space utilizes the co-working concept, which encourages cooperation and idea-sharing among those stationed within. Dickman, the founder of Deep Space and a handful of tech startups, has ideas as expansive as the final frontier itself. He wants to use the center as a business hub by day, but by night, he wants to turn the spacious lower level of the Victorian Peaks building into a breeding ground for young techies interested in STEM education, an acronym for science, technology, engineering and math. Dickman’s development design company, Cleverlike Inc., was based out of an office in Centennial with similar-minded colleagues before moving to Parker earlier this month. The “symbiotic” relationships that developed benefited everyone and promoted business success.

Parker entrepreneur Brian Dickman talks May 8 about his new Deep Space Workplace and Event Center. Photo by Chris Michlewicz “We worked together on projects and it was just a collaborative, fun work environment,” he said. “Everyone really enjoyed the atmosphere.” Not all workers based out of Deep Space are expected to engage in team-building conversations. They will find the most value in getting out of the house and away from distractions. “It was really nice to not have to be working home alone, or dealing with the dogs, the kids,

the to-do list, the refrigerator, the loneliness, the boredom and stuff like that,” Dickman says. “It’s good to get up and get out of bed and get to an office, then go home and spend time with the family. It gives you good work and life balance.” An office setting can also legitimize a home-based business, particularly during visits with clients or when the business address is listed on Google Maps.

He and co-founder Mona Daniels believed Parker would be the ideal place to open a centralized workplace. It eliminates the need to commute far from home, wasting time and money in the process. Deep Space also contains the necessary tools to work efficiently, including high-speed Internet

connections, copiers, a meeting room, lounge-friendly furniture, white boards and a presentation stage. The unit was previously occupied by a nightclub and an antique shop. The decor suggests a light atmosphere based around a space theme. Minutes after Dickman points out a geeky binary clock, “Weird Science” movie poster and homemade paintings of Pac Man characters hanging on the wall, his phone’s ringtone comes alive with an eerie-alien sound effect from a 1950s sci-fi thriller. Deep Space opened for business May 1 and currently has six people based there. A grand opening planned for 5-9 p.m. May 16 is combined with a robotics open house for local clubs. The kids who will take classes and gather for projects at Deep Space will be known as Space Cadets, Dickman said. The basement, with a capacity of 500, will be a good spot for robotics exhibitions in the future, as well as brainstorming sessions leading to competitions. “My experience with technology, learning about computers from a young age and going to trade shows, it made a big impact on my career and where my life has taken me,” Dickman said. “I thought it would be great to create that in this community, to bring in the expertise and programs and learn things together.” For more information or to rent out the space for meetings or birthday parties, visit deepspace. me or call 720-675-7932.

Amber Hayes’ class has recently been learning about civics and government and making a difference. The kids started a petition on the White House’s website and they hope to gather 100,000 signatures within 30 days, the minimum required for an official government response.

North Star Academy has been named as a “National School of Character” by the Character Education Partnership. The Douglas County School District charter school in Parker was one of 29 schools across the nation to receive the honor. North Star Academy was selected for its commitment to character education and for fostering a positive environment for social and academic learning. The school recently demonstrated its service learning by delivering more than 1,400 books to Children’s Hospital of Colorado. The books came at the perfect time. The hospital was hit with a virus that wiped out their library, resulting in the disposal of books. North Star Academy will be honored at the National Forum of Character Education Oct. 24-27, 2013, in Washington, DC.

State seen as leader in energy independence Udall says innovation, investments are key By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews. com When it comes to energy independence, U.S. Sen. Mark Udall admits there’s no silver bullet. But there is “silver buckshot,” he said. Udall, who was in Centennial on May 10 at the South Metro Chamber, said one of Colorado’s most promising areas of growth will be energy, and not just in fossil fuels. However, according to the second-generation Democratic statesman, in order to seize the

opportunities that come with energy, the government must first eliminate economic barriers that hinder new product and job development. For Udall, those barriers are immigration reform and a balanced budget. Although statistics show unemployment is down and housing starts are up, Udall said it’s not enough, and Colorado’s diverse energy landscape may be the key to keeping the economy growing. “Colorado is truly a balanced model for a national energy policy,” Udall said. “Just think about it — we’ve got solar in the San Luis Valley, we’ve got wind towers on the Eastern Slope of the state, we’ve got natural gas and coal and oil on the Western Slope. We’ve got

Udall pointed out that methane gas is either burned off or vented away from the mine.

Pay also is determined by a teacher’s placement on the market-based pay scale. It established a salary range based on subject matter, with higher salaries given to those who provide instruction in more complex or specialized areas. For instance, a social studies or busi-

“This waste product now powers all of Aspen’s four ski areas, 13 restaurants and three hotels,” he said. “And this is all because members of the private sector decided to come together and find an innovative job-creating solution.” But while Udall cites the Oxbow model as an example of success, he also points out that the transition to renewable resources must come gradually. “We will eventually get there,” he said. But in the meantime, Udall said the state should continue responsible development of more traditional energy resources. “We in Colorado have a tremendous opportunity to lead the world in oil and natural gas production,” he said. “Why? Because there have been innovations in

On training day, about 15 firefighters and paramedics formed teams to anchor the tripod, securing ropes from the pulley system to a “bomb-proof” anchor, said Larkspur Fire Lt. Chad Campagnola. Bomb-proof anchors include live, mature trees or permanently set boulders — anything that will not shift if faced with several hundred pounds of pull, Campagnola said. By the time the anchors were set, four ropes connected to three anchors held the

Option 1 would cost $12 million to $13 million, option 2 would be $13 million to $14 million, and option 3 would cost around $15 million. “They’re big, hefty price tags, we understand that, but it would be money well spent,” Cleveland told the mayor and six council members. Roughly $6 million to $7 million would come from cash funding, and the remaining cost would be funded through certifi-

Matt Rettmer called on a volunteer to demonstrate the pulley system, carrying a basket designed to secure a person for the trip back up. The volunteer was 18-year-old EMT Ethan Howard from Larkspur, the day’s youngest trainee. Howard made the trip down and back without a hiccup. “It wasn’t high enough,” Howard said of the 40-foot drop. “I like heights.” While the training exercise took more than two hours from beginning to end, Rettmer was confident a real-world rescue would go smoothly in the event of interagency response. “There’s nothing fast about this, but with this training it will go much quicker,” Rettmer said. “This is bringing all of our smaller training exercises together.”

Councilman Josh Martin asked how the 12- to 14-month construction schedule would affect operations and whether revenue would be lost during that period. Cleveland said the expansion could cause periodic, isolated closures, but they want to avoid shutting down the facility entirely. Closures would also depend on which option council selects. The facility was originally built on a tight budget and few add-ons were approved by the council that served at the time. It is unclear when council will make a decision on the proposals.

Ponderosa and five other Douglas County School District high schools are listed among Colorado’s top 40, according to Newsweek’s 2013 ranking. All nine of Douglas County’s traditional high schools made Newsweek’s national list of the 2,000 best high schools. Puga attributes Ponderosa’s appearance on the list to steadily improving student performance. Newsweek based its conclusions on 2011-12 data, and indicators including graduation rates, participation in Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs, and acceptance into a two- or four-year college program. “This is because of our outstanding students, excellent teaching staff and supportive community,” Puga said. “The bottom line is, it’s really reflective on the great job

we do working together for our students. “I think a lot of it’s just the number of kids we have that are taking (Advanced Placement) tests, and scoring very highly on those. Our ACT and SAT scores, those have helped, and the number of our kids going off to colleges and universities.” In order of their ranking on the state list, the six include Rock Canyon, ThunderRidge, Douglas County, Chaparral, Ponderosa and Highlands Ranch high schools.

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews. com Three new aviation-related bills were signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper, two of which benefit Colorado’s growing aviation and aerospace industry. The bill-signing took place May 13 in the Denverjet Center lobby at Centennial Airport. One bill, known as the “Aviation Development Zone Act,” grants Colorado aircraft manufactures a $1,200 state tax credit for each new employee hired, another extends the Colorado job growth incentive tax credit by an additional five years, and the third creates a special license plate for the Civil Air Patrol. Hickenlooper lauded House Bills 13-1080 and 13-1287 as “huge job creators,” not just for Centennial, but for all airports around the state. “People often say I spend too much time trying to get companies to put their headquarters here,” Hickenlooper said. “The fact is, for every big company that locates here, there are several smaller companies that come in and feed off the new economic cluster created.” “That runway out there is not just a piece of concrete that connects Arapahoe and Douglas counties,” said Republican Rep.

Douglas County high schools have made frequent appearances on both lists over the years. “In our view, (Newsweek’s) six criteria are good, solid, objective criteria you can use to measure results,” Carson said. Douglas County also has night, online and alternative high schools. Newsweek invites schools to self-report information it considers in its ranking.

A commander with the Castle Rock Police Department has announced he will run for Douglas County sheriff. Cmdr. John Anderson is the second Republican candidate to announce his intent, joining Douglas County Undersher iff Tony Spurlock. Anderson also Anderson ran for the office in 2006 against Sheriff Dave Weaver, whose second term expires in 2014. “I’m going to bring a lot of positive changes to the sheriff’s office,” said Anderson, who made the announcement May 11. “It has been the same establishment for 34 years. I’m going to bring a different lens, introduce new programs and improve and enhance the professionalism of the department.” Anderson, 57, began his law enforcement career 35 years ago with the Castle Rock Police Department. He is a native of the town and served as a captain until 2012, when new Chief Jack Cauley eliminated the department’s captain and lieutenant positions. Facing a campaign that could last more than a year, Anderson plans to take what he learned from his first run for office and reach as many residents as possible over the

opinions / yours and ours

Session over, where do we go now? The Colorado General Assembly’s 2013 session came to a close last week without the extra-innings drama of the previous year. No doubt, much was accomplished over the past four months by the Democrat-controlled Legislature, including approval of some high-profile pieces of legislation. Civil unions? Check. (Unlike last year, there would be no last-minute theatrics over a bill approving these.) Numerous gun-control measures? Check. Overhaul of Colorado’s election rules? Check. Mass frustration by Senate and House Republicans? Check.

A statement released by the Colorado Republican Party the day after the session’s end called it “the most divisive and partisan in the state’s history.” We’re not sure where to rank the session on the all-time list, but it certainly was both very divisive and very partisan. It also was very predictable. November’s elections ensured one-party control in Colorado. With a House, Senate and gover-

question of the week

What advice do you have for the graduates of 2013? Colorado Community Media surveyed four people at the Lone Tree Arts Center this week, among them business-

man Charles R. Schwab, about the advice they’d give today’s high school and college graduates.

“Develop passion about whatever they want to do in life. Employers want kids that are deeply passionate … That really means serving somebody and loving doing it.” — Charles R. Schwab, Woodside, Calif.

“Go out and fail. Take a chance. Take a risk. That’s when you learn the most. You’ll learn more from your failures than your successes.” — Larry Fullerton, Greenwood Village

“Absolutely follow your passion first. Second, pay attention to your world. We’re all much more connected … Third, always try to do the right thing. Don’t be motivated by power or greed.” — Charlene Sherwood, Denver

“Look to your community and your friends for opportunities. Douglas County is filled with opportunities and growth. Reach out to the types of employers within your area of passion.” — David Gardner, Parker

You can kiss my coffee table Today’s theme is euphemisms. We use them all the time, knowingly or not. “A euphemism is a generally innocuous word or expression used in place of one that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant,” says Wikipedia’s entry on the topic. “Some euphemisms are intended to amuse, while others use bland, inoffensive, and often misleading terms for things the user wishes to dissimulate or downplay.” Well, you can kiss my coffee table. I use euphemisms all of the time that are not intended to mask something that is offensive or impolite, as you will see. What is a euphemism for “euphemism”? Beats me. The word comes from the Greek (Don’t they all?), meaning “the use of words of good omen.” How did we get from that to dissimulating unpleasantries? How many of you were given euphemisms as a child? Parents say the darndest things. Mine referred to One (of One and Two) as “dooty,” which phonetically is “duty.” When I heard my teacher say “It is your duty,” I wet my pants. W.C. Fields used to say “Mother of Pearl!” which always sounded like a profanity. He’d yell “Godfrey Daniel” when something went wrong. I’d name my kid Godfrey Daniel. In case you are wondering (I did), there are people named Godfrey Daniel and Godfrey Daniels. I’d like to meet their parents, to find out if it was an intentional choice coming from Fields, or if they were oblivious. Language is where I have fun. It’s where I have the most fun. Don’t take me out to the ball game, although there is always the national anthem, and “Jose, can you see?” The first time I heard the Lord’s Prayer, I thought, “This is great. They have art

classes in heaven.” You know? “Our Father who art in heaven.” Most of the time we speak in predictable patterns, and it makes it very easy to finish someone’s sentences. Unless they are good with euphemisms, then you never know what to expect. “Go jump in a _______, you _______,” is a wide-open opportunity for a wordsmith. There’s something called reverse understatements (litotes). “He’s not very tall,” really means “He’s a shrimp.” Using “challenged” is another way of speaking around an expression. A shrimp, then, is “vertically challenged.” Safer, but not very interesting, is it? Wikipedia again: “Connotations easily change over time. `Idiot,’ `imbecile,’ and `moron’ were once neutral terms for a developmentally delayed adult with the mental age comparable to a toddler, preschooler, and primary school child, respectively.” Now we have “developmentally delayed.” Euphemisms became more and more common and mandatory the longer I taught. Words that I used in the 1970s were unacceptable thirty years later. It got tricky sometimes, because so many words have implications that they didn’t before. Golfers still have handicaps, but no one else Smith continues on Page 11

nor united, little could stand in the way of getting bills passed, controversial or not — a single vote from the other party or not. And while the session was not without some solid examples of bipartisan legislation, Democrats were prolific with their newfound power. “You may not agree with everything we’re doing, but you can’t say we’re not doing anything,” Democratic Rep. Dominick Moreno told Colorado Community Media legislative reporter Vic Vela in April. We’re not using this space to call out the Democratic Party. Republicans likely would also have taken full advantage of such a position. Democrats worked together and accomplished what they felt was right.

But one-party control in a state that is about as purple as it gets has us wondering if Colorado’s residents were best served by this past legislative session. On the state’s active voting rolls as of May 1 there were 915,793 Republicans, 875,926 Democrats and 862,050 unaffiliated voters. That’s not far from one-third each. Those figures make it tough to believe that either party’s platform can adequately represent the constituency as a whole. Clearly, consensus is elusive in Colorado, but if nothing else, the 2013 session was a test of the tastes of the hundreds of thousands of unaffiliated voters. Theirs is the critique that will matter most when they speak at the polls in 2014.

Remember to make time for the important things I heard the coolest story the other day so I thought I would share it with you all because I found it to be just so very meaningful and powerful. A very close friend of mine was attending church last Sunday and she shared with me the message that was delivered during the Mass by the deacon of the church. And although I will try and capture the details, it is really the essence of the message I hope I can pass along. The deacon shared that every night at 6 in his home all the cell phones, televisions, and anything that would be considered an intrusion on their time is turned off and that he and his wife just talk for 90 minutes. They make time for each other; more importantly, it is uninterrupted time. I found myself questioning my own approach as I talk a lot about focusing on the important things in life, but this was a tactical approach that I thought I could abide by. As a matter of fact, a year or so ago someone else from the community shared

with me that not just at 6 at night, but every Sunday is family time and that their entire family turns off their cell phones on Sunday as they spend time together. So why am I sharing this with you again now? Good question and thanks for asking. You see, in cleaning out my home recently I found a deck of cards with a score sheet folded under it. It was a score sheet that had a game that was only partially completed. My wife and I used to play cards or backgammon in the evenings and Norton continues on Page 11

He saw a problem that needed solving: Not all students learn best in the same environments. Students and families need education options. This is exactly the goal of parents and taxpayers in the Douglas County School District who support the voucher program. Mr. Nicholas was pleased that district staff and board reached out to him. Has he

Open your mind to the reality that students need options for their education and families know what is best for their children. Leanna Palmer Castle Rock

Choose carefully during record highs

Now that we hit the record highs on several of the stock market indexes, it is time is to be choosy about future investments. ering This reminds me of a famous commercial d by when I was growing up with the mantra te’s “Choosy mothers chose Jif.” Well, now that re markets have more than doubled off their ats low points, investors can afford to be selecnot tive. In the peanut butter analogy, you can afford to buy the best. ve The real question is how to be selective ately trying to invest in a market that feels like you are paying too much for anything you do, consider. Here is a primer our investment as a committee recommends when working ouwith your adviser. 1. Determine the length of time for r your portfolio.

Seek the best “risk-adjusted” returns for each piece of your portfolio. “This means you want to research additions to your portfolio based on risk first,” says KFS Investment Analyst Greg Richards, CFP.

School board rips funding bill Resolution says proposal contrary to county’s interests By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com The Douglas County School Board adopted a resolution May 7 opposing the proposed revamped Public School Finance Act. Senate Bill 213, which hinges on voter approval of a $1 billion tax increase in November, is “profoundly contrary to the best interests” of Douglas County students and taxpayers, according to the resolution. “For every additional dollar of taxes the residents of this county would pay, we would get back maybe 50 cents,” school board President John Carson said. The bill recently passed the General Assembly and now awaits the Gov. John Hickenlooper’s signature. As proposed, it would bring an additional $43 million to $46 million to the Douglas County School District, but about $16

million of that would go to fund additional early childhood education required under the bill. The financial benefit would be further undercut by the impact of a potential state income tax increase on Douglas County’s high per-capita income, school board member Kevin Larsen said. The proposal increases full-day kindergarten, preschool and special education funding, and gives more money to districts with high concentrations of low-income students and English-language learners (ELL). Douglas County has relatively few students who fall into those categories. Douglas County’s dearth of at-risk students already ranks it among the lowest for state per-pupil funding among Colorado school districts, which has been a longstanding cause of concern in DCSD. But Senate Bill 213 expands the definition of at-risk, as well as the funding sent to those most-affected districts. Under the proposal, districts whose enrollment of at-risk and ELL students exceeds the state aver-

age would receive up to 140 percent of the statewide average. Carson noted that Douglas County likely won’t ever reach that concentration of atrisk and ELL students, and consequently won’t be eligible for higher funding. “It’s just bizarre to me we’re saying essentially a student in this district who might meet that same criteria doesn’t get the same level of funding,” Carson said. “That, to me, is a glaring flaw in this legislation that I’ve yet to hear any logical explanation for.” Larsen also believes the definition of atrisk is “simplistic” and excludes students with different, but equally serious needs. The proposal decreases the amount of money districts receive for students in online schools; about 3,000 students from across the Front Range are enrolled in DCSD’s Hope Online Learning Academy. “That’s a pretty significant portion of money,” Larsen said, noting those students also don’t qualify for at-risk funding. “At least in our case, most of our online kids are

remembering a marine

what would be defined as at-risk.” Finally, Larsen and other board members worry the bill threatens the passage of any local education ballot measure. They believe the statewide tax required to put the program into effect likely would make people hesitant to approve additional education taxes. “It’s largely a political exercise that rewards favored districts,” board member Craig Richardson said of the bill. “I’m also struck by the magnitude of the tax increase. And it’s light on changes. It’s light on reform. It’s light on transformation.” Larsen thinks the statewide tax will be a tough sell. However, the proposal won’t expire until 2017. “So that gives five potential November elections,” he said, “which I think create a five-year window of killing potential (local) mill levies around the state.” If voters approve the ballot measure needed to fund the program, it would take effect in the 2015-16 academic year.

Dogs had their day in Denver on May 13, as Gov. John Hickenlooper signed two pieces of legislation that led to some serious tail-wagging from our four-legged friends. The governor — who brought his dog Sky to a bill-signing at the Denver Animal Shelter — put his signature on a bill aimed at protecting dogs whenever police are called to their owners’ homes, and another that designates dogs — and cats — that are adopted from animal shelters as the state pets. “These pets become a huge part of people’s lives,” Hickenlooper said. Each bill received support from Democrats and Republicans in the General Assembly this legislative session. “This is a bipartisan day for dogs,” said Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial, who was flanked by Democratic lawmakers, Sen. Lucia Guzman and Rep. Lois Court, both of Denver. The three co-sponsored Senate Bill 226, known as the “Dog Protection Act.” The bill requires law enforcement agencies to put in place training, and to adopt policies and procedures that officers would be required to adhere to whenever they respond to homes where there are dogs. The measure allows dog owners the opportunity to put their pets outside or into another room whenever police come to the home for calls involving non-violent situations. The bill calls for the creation of a volunteer task force that will outline officer training guidelines.

The bill was the result of recent headline-grabbing stories involving officer-related dog shootings around the state. Erie resident Brittany Moore’s German Shepard, Ava, was 4 years old when it was shot to death by a police officer there two years ago. “We’ll always miss her and she’ll always be in our hearts,” Moore said afterward. “But I think this was a huge deal, this bill. I think it’s going to help a lot of situations,” The bill received unanimous support from both legislative chambers this session. The same cannot be said about Senate Bill 201, which designates cats and dogs that have been adopted from state animal shelters and rescues as the state pets. The bill received criticism from animal breeder and retail groups, who felt that the legislation created a perception that it’s better to obtain pets from shelters and rescues, than from other places where pets can be adopted or purchased. At times, legislative committee hearing testimony, and debate inside the House and Senate, resulted in lengthy discussions. Democratic Sen. Andy Kerr of Lakewood, a bill sponsor, who brought his young son and his dog to the event, joked about the contentious nature of the legislation. Just before Kerr was about to speak, playful dogs behind the podium got their leashes tangled up, which caused the Colorado state flag to tip over. “Next time somebody brings me a bill and says this is a nice, easy little bill ...” quipped Kerr. “It’s kind of like taking your 3-year-old son and your dog to a bill-signing, and then trying to catch the Colorado flag at the same time.”

supmbers

Schwab spoke from the arts center’s stage along with Gov. John Hickenlooper, Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella, Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning and Schwab Senior Vice President Brian McDonald. The Charles Schwab Corporation’s 2,200 metro-area employees, now spread among three sites, will move into their new home in late 2014. Schwab credited Lone Tree for its part in bringing the project to life. “I just want to thank all the people who with Godspeed put this whole thing together,” he said. “You did an incredible yeoman’s job to make this all happen.” McDonald said Schwab plans to become part of Lone Tree, and already is pondering a relationship with the Lone Tree Arts Center for potential use of the company’s on-campus amphitheater. “We feel like we’re moving out of a business complex and into a community,” McDonald said. “We’re committed to being a great neighbor.” Hickenlooper said Schwab is a natural fit for Colorado. “I love to hear Charles Schwab say `campus’ because the one thing campus says to me is expansion,” he said. “I can’t imagine a better company that ties in with our identity and

what we’re trying to be.” The state gave Schwab a financial nudge in its decision to build the campus. In exchange for the creation of 480 new jobs in the next five years, Schwab will receive tax credits from Colorado’s Job Growth Incentive Tax Credit. Those jobs will have a “$500 million a year direct and indirect economic impact,” Repella said. “Those are the numbers that help residents prosper.” The featured speakers and dozens of invited guests then converged outside the arts center for a ceremonial groundbreaking. Sunshine glinting off the silver tips of their shovels, 11 local and state officials lifted scoops of rain-soaked dirt. Construction on the first phase of the two-part, 52-acre project at Lincoln Avenue and Park Meadows Boulevard already is under way. It includes two five-story office buildings, a parking garage, amphitheater and retail branch building. A third five-story office building and second parking garage are planned for the later phase.

SHERIFF’S REPORT

HELPING HANDS

Bikes a hot target for thieves

Firefighters assess the damage from a vehicle rollover on Hilltop Road near Crestview Drive May 11. The condition of the occupant, who was extricated from the vehicle, is unknown. Courtesy photo

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is reporting that bicycle thefts have increased dramatically in recent months. Apartment complexes, townhome areas and other high-occupancy dwelling areas, as well as houses with garage doors left open, are the most heavily targeted by thieves. Between April 26 and May 7 the sheriff’s office investigated a minimum of five cases around the county that involved stolen bicycles. In one case a stolen garage door opener was used to gain entry. Some of the bikes have also been taken off front porches despite being locked. When bikes are stolen from inside a garage, home or other structure, the crime is classified as a felony burglary. The sheriff’s office recommends that people keep their garage doors closed and locked and that if they have to leave their bikes outside, such as on the porch, keep the porch light on at night and use a high-quality theft resistant lock that cannot be cut through with ease. Also, if it

is discovered a garage door opener has been stolen, one should change the code so the stolen device can no longer be used.

Foxhill suspect seen on camera A suspicious male who attempted to break into two locked vehicles in the 3100 block of Foxhill Place in Highlands Ranch was videotaped on a surveillance camera trying to enter the vehicles at 1:45 a.m. April 26. The suspect, a white, average-height male wearing a hoodie, drove off in a black or darker-colored, older model Jeep Cherokee.

Landscape lights smashed

Residential landscape lights in the 10800 block of Bobcat Terrace and the 9800 block of Keenan Street in Highlands Ranch were vandalized during the last week of April. The lights at Bobcat Terrace were removed from the property overnight on April 26 and smashed on the street, while the lights at the Keenan Street residence were disconnected and taken sometime after April 22 and before April 29.

FAA drops order to study closure By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com In spite of its on-again-off-again relationship with the Federal Aviation Administration’s budget woes, Centennial Airport’s graveyard shift is now officially off the chopping block, thanks to a hefty pushback not only by airport officials, but by neighboring community leaders, too. Airport Executive Director Robert Olislagers said the FAA notified Congress late on May 7 that the order to study the closure of the night shift at 72 towers had been rescinded. “That battle is now over and unlikely to come back up,” he said. Douglas County District 1 Commissioner Jack Hilbert said he’s pleased with the decision and that the move is

the result of a community effort to get the FAA’s attention. Centennial Airport, which straddles the border of Arapahoe and Douglas counties, is one of the bigger aviation and aerospace economic development clusters in the state, according to Olislagers. Hilbert, who helped lead the effort, said the grassroots work garnered the support of several communities, including Parker and Lone Tree, and multiple businesses and economic development organizations. “For us, it wasn’t just the just the job issue,” Hilbert said. “Community safety factors came into play, too.” Centennial Airport has had a longrunning distinction as one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country, Olislagers has said if Centennial did lose its night-shift air traffic control operation, it would only be a matter of time before accidents would follow. “Doing away with the night shift at

Centennial doesn’t mean that flights shut down,” explained Hilbert. “What it means that pilots would then have to coordinate takeoffs and landings and amongst each other, and that’s not the safest environment in a busy airspace with jet traffic.” The decision on the midnight shifts was separate from other actions the FAA has been considering as part of the federal budget sequestration, the government’s mandated efforts to cut spending that began March 1. In March, four Colorado airport towers were on the FAA’s hit list; Broomfield and Front Range were designated for closure, and Centennial and Colorado Springs for elimination of the overnight shift. The agency is still mulling whether to close 149 contract towers at smaller and mid-sized airports around the country. Centennial’s tower is funded by the FAA tower, and does not use contract air traffic controllers.

Historic Preservation Board seeks members Volunteers designate landmarks, assist county commissioners By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com The Douglas County Historic Preservation Board is seeking three new members who have a passion for history, an interest in archaeology or knowledge of architecture. One of nearly two dozen boards and committees that advises the county commissioners, the historic preservation board is an at-large, all-volunteer, non-statutory board made up of nine members. Primary responsibilities include identifying and designating historical landmarks throughout the county and acting as a referral agency to the county commissioners in regard to development. “There are a lot of hidden gems waiting to be landmarked in the county,” said Judy Hammer, board administrator. “Being on the board gives people a chance to become acquainted with the property owners, and hear some pretty cool stories. There’s a lot of really cool history in Douglas County.” The county has designated 30 historical landmarks to date and has three more identified that are expected to receive designation within the next year. Those include

One of 30 historic landmarks in Douglas County, the Sedalia Firehouse was built in 1933 through the cooperative efforts of citizens, merchants, ranchers, churches, lodges, and women’s groups. A part of the historic building is the bell and bell tower from the town’s original firehouse, built in 1907. Photo by Ryan Boldrey Gabriel’s Restaurant in Sedalia, the Evans Homestead in Lincoln Mountain Open Space, and Alice Ranch in Greenland Open Space. Recent designations include the

Spring Valley School near Parker and the Pikes Peak Grange. In addition to working with the board of county commissioners and helping des-

ignate historical landmarks, board volunteers are also expected to lead two or three interpretive tours of landmarked properties each year and to help promote the board’s message of preservation through social media. There may also, on occasion, be reports or studies they are asked to review and make comments on, Hammer said. “It is more of a policy-making board than an activity board,” she added. “People who like to participate or volunteer for government can really make a difference by participating in the referral process and landmarking properties.” “Their work is truly a reflection of the desires of the community,” said Douglas County spokeswoman Wendy Holmes, speaking to the high scores that historic preservation has received in recent community surveys. “We are really pleased to see the commitment to history and heritage, especially in a community that is so new and has been one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States for 30 years.” Applications will be accepted for the three vacancies through June 24. For questions, people are asked to contact Hammer at 303-660-7460 or jhammer@douglas. co.us. For more information, visit www.douglas.co.us/historic.

Green Ribbon Awarded for Sustainability Douglas County School District (DCSD) has received the first ever U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools District Sustainability Award as bestowed by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. Only 14 of 15,000 districts nationwide were selected for this recognition of exemplary efforts. DCSD was nominated for the Green Ribbon School District Sustainability Award by the Colorado

“The bottom line is, thanks to responsible fiscal management and improved state revenues, DCSD is on strong financial footing and we are able to announce this positive budget news,” Fagen said. This is the second year in a row that DCSD has given employee raises and put additional dollars into the classroom. New budget details include: • More for DCSD Students: $13.7 M: • $200/student back to our schools – $11.6 M • $2.1 million funding for (add for) high school student requests and school innovation – one time requests • More for DCSD Parents: $1.2 M via the Technology Fee elimination • More for DCSD Educators & Employees: $15.7 M (5.2% Average Compensation Increase) • 2% On-Going Average Salary Increase - $6 M • 2% Average One-Time Pay in September - $6 M • PERA Increase Paid by District - $2.2 M • Medical Benefit Increase Paid by District - $1.5 M

According to DCSD Chief Financial Officer Bonnie Betz, the 2014 budget supports the priorities and commitments of the DCSD Strategic Plan. “First and r foremost, we are focusing our resources to prepare our students to compete on the world stage for the college ve is or career path of their choice. And, second, we are l.” improving the quality of life for our employees.” Following a difficult economic climate and five years of budget cuts, DCSD worked diligently last year to balance the budget and plan for the increased costs curve. “DCSD is in strong fiscal shape and with these recommendations, we will continue on that path,” continued Betz. Betz pointed to DCSD’s bond rating of AA+ as evidence of fiscal stability.

Ex-Bronco partners with mental health team Dilts takes position to kick depression By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com When former Bronco Bucky Dilts came to the end of a long road of tribulations that included the loss of two family members to suicide, he decided to go public with his story. Questioning his skills as a public speaker, he heeded advice that proved wise. Dilts was the keynote speaker May 10 at the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network benefit luncheon. Before a packed crowd, he stepped up to the lectern to “just tell his story” about his experience with mental illness. His story held the crowd rapt. Dilts joined the NFL in 1977 as a punter with the Denver Broncos, leaving the league after three years to launch a career in sales. His first brush with depression came in 1984, with the suicide of his 28-year-old sister. Twelve years later, suicide touched his life again when Dilts and his wife received news that his mother-in-law took her own life. The personal crises continued in 2000, when Dilts lost his wife to divorce after 20 years of marriage. At the time, it was his darkest hour. He isolated himself from friends and family, went through four jobs in six years and began to entertain dark thoughts of his own. “I couldn’t do anything,” Dilts said. “I was just about thinking about suicide. I was almost there.” In 2004, Dilts’s ex-wife was diag-

nosed with Stage IV cervical cancer. She did not want to tell the couple’s two children, who would not know they were losing their mother until about two months before her 2006 death. In the wake of her death, Dilts threw himself into the task of raising his children, until his world was derailed again. In 2008 Dilts got his own diagnosis — prostate cancer. “It really got to me,” he said. “But it gave me an opportunity to talk about things people don’t want to talk about and it led me to this.” After Dilts successfully fought his cancer, he embarked on a speaking career to address the stigma of suicide and the effects of depression. He ran into some resistance among family members who didn’t want him to expose his family’s experience, showcasing the stigma he says ranks among the greatest treatment challenges. “People want to hide it,” he said. “They’re ashamed of it to the point they won’t seek treatment. Others don’t want to talk about it at all. It’s time to shelve stigma. Stigma sucks.” Dilts partnered with the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network to help promote its latest effort for treatment of mental health issues. The network serves residents of Arapahoe and Douglas counties with free and reduced-cost mental health treatment in Littleton, Englewood, Parker and Castle Rock. The network launched a Mental Health First Aid course to teach people how to recognize signs of mental illness in hopes of reducing the number of suicides in Colorado.

The Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network named Douglas County Sheriff ’s Capt. Attila Denes the community leader of the year for his work as the agency’s Crisis Intervention Team coordinator. The CIT team trains law-enforcement officers to recognize signs of a mental health crisis and to help assess proper response while in the field. Denes implemented the CIT program in the south metro area and eventually helped the program expand statewide. Part of the program’s goal is to eliminate the stigma of mental illness and increase access to treatment through education, advocacy and support. “I am deeply honored and humbled to work with so many dedicated professionals who have dedicated their lives to mental health issues,” Denes said. Denes has been a board member of the Crisis Intervention Teams Association of Colorado since 2007. For more information about the association, visit citac.us.

The number of suicides through April in Douglas County was 25, compared with 14 at the same time in 2012, according to the Douglas County Coroner’s Office. “Every 15 minutes someone in the United States dies by suicide,” said Joan DiMaria, executive director of the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network. “We can and we will end that.” For more information about the Mental Health First Aid course or to find a treatment center near you, visit admhn.org or call 303-730-8858.

wenty-nine World War II veterans from communities along the Front Range, representing every branch of the military service, used words like “amazing,” “memorable” and “emotional” to describe their Rocky Mountain Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C. “This was a very special trip for me. It was very memorable,” Littleton resident Frank Epperson, who flew with the famous Flying Tigers in China, said of the May 2-4 trip. “I appreciate all the honor flight did to make this a special trip for those of us who served in World War II. I was humbled and honored when people I have never met come up to thank me for my service. This is a trip I will not forget.” Rocky Mountain Honor Flight, a Denver-based nonprofit, gives World War II veterans the opportunity to visit the national World War II Memorial in Washington. The volunteers of Rocky Mountain Honor Flight did all they could to make this a very special trip for the guests of honor. Active-duty military personnel met the veterans at the airport and helped them with their baggage. Then, people in the airport and on the plane applauded when the presence of World War II veterans was announced. The flight landed at Baltimore and a fire truck shot an arc of water over the plane, there were flag-waving volunteers as the group got off the plane and a brass band greeted them at baggage claim. Englewood resident Sel Hewitt, a radio operator on a B-29 in the Pacific during the war, said the trip was fantastic and was a never-to-be-forgotten experience. “I think every veteran appreciated every minute of that trip,” he said. “Everything was special, the places we visited and the contacts we had with people of all ages who were interested in what we had done and what we were doing.” Franktown resident Doug Brown, an Army veteran, agreed. “This trip was pretty unique, as were the greetings and bands and the other

History Colorado kicks off a summer of exploration of local and national military history at the History Colorado Center, 1200 Broadway, with the opening of “The American Soldier: A Photographic Tribute” on May 25, continuing through Sept. 2. This national traveling exhibition features 116 enlarged photographs that capture images of American soldiers, beginning on the Civil War battlefields in 1861 when the new medium of photography first documented the grim realities of war, to the war in Iraq. “Spanning nine wars, I’ve often wondered what the exhibition photographs have in common,” said exhibition curator Cyma Rubin. “These photographs have power. They have an ability to reach people ... each image has a life of its own.” For complete information, go to www. historycolorado.org.

World War II veterans Greg Lawrence of Littleton, left, and Marv Olsen of Denver look at names on the Vietnam Memorial. The men were part of a May 2-4 trip to the nation’s capital. special things that were done for our visit,” Brown said. “We were greeted and treated very well. I was in an armored unit that took part in the invasion of Germany. It was very important to me to talk to people who had similar experiences.” Planners kept the veterans busy. Among other activities, they visited the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam and Korean memorials, and watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery. Some activities just happened. For example, the Dothan (Ala.) High School band was at the World War II Memorial during the honor flight visit and they performed a special concert for the veterans. Numerous student groups were at the World War II Memorial, and Chase Burrows, a student at a Sumter, S.C., middle school, spent quite a bit of time talking to the veterans. “This is special to me. My great-grandfather died in World War II, when his plane was shot down. I have read about the war and we studied it in school but talking to these men means a lot more than reading and studying.” He said he talked to Dick Olson about

his experience in a submarine, to Dick Frank about his experience as a Marine and Littleton resident Hos Varner about how he joined the Coast Guard and was assigned to crews bringing ships back from the Philippines. “I really thank these men for what they did,” Burrows said. “They are really heroes in my eyes.” On the flight back to Denver, the veterans had a surprise with a special “mail call” as each man received an envelope with 20 to 25 letters from family, friends and, more often, from people they had never met thanking them for their service. “This is a surprise and it is tremendous,” Vic Olson said as he read the letters. “I truly appreciate the letters and the sentiments they expressed. It is moving and very, very special.” The finale came when the veterans arrived at Denver International Airport, where they were met by a cheering, applauding crowd of about 200 friends, family, military personnel, police officers and firefighters in uniform and well-wishers. Members of the Patriot Guard lined the wall holding American flags, and the El Jebel pipe band played to welcome the veterans home.

Quarters for Kids, the annual event founded by Tammy and the late Noel Cunningham, will continue holding its annual fundraising campaign despite the recent closure of Strings restaurant. Viewhouse Eatery, Bar & Rooftop, a new venture for Lotus Concepts at 2015 Market St., has stepped into the Cunninghams’ sizable shoes to acknowledge the fundraising efforts and honor the children with a private breakfast on May 10. Quarters for Kids is a school-based program where students raise quarters to help provide breakfast for residents at the Volunteers of America Brandon Center for Battered and Homeless Women and their children. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock will recognize the efforts of area students, KOSI-101 radio personality Murphy Huston will emcee the event and Denver Nuggets mascot Rocky will entertain the students. According to VOA legend, 22 years ago Noel discovered — after talking to VOA’s Jim White — that the cost to feed breakfast to a child living in one of Denver’s home shelters was 25 cents. The idea that such a small amount of change could make such a difference motivated Noel to start the Quarters for Kids campaign.

Air Supply to play in Parker Australian singers’ show at PACE Center likely to sell out By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com

Air Supply — Australians Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock — will play a May 30 date at Parker’s PACE Center to what will likely be a sold-out crowd. (A few tickets remained when we spoke with center director Elaine Mariner last week.) Area audiences have especially responded to musical programs in a variety of styles since the PACE Center opened, she said. Other sell-outs Mariner listed include The Vienna Boys Choir in November 2011, soon after the venue opened; and the Parker r of Symphony Orchestra/Parker Choary rale Holiday Shows in 2011 and 2012. A New Year’s Eve celebration he sold out in October. ute” .

In 2012, Celtic Nights, Natalie McMaster, Stunt Dogs, “Fiddler on the Roof,” Colorado Symphony Orchestra’s Drums of the World, the John Denver tribute and “A Christmas Carol” were also sellouts. Russell and Hitchcock met when both were in a production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” in Sydney. After the shows, they would perform together in coffee houses and nightclubs, singing Graham Russell’s original songs. With their smooth harmonies, they eventually landed a recording contract and had a No. 1 single on national charts. Russell writes songs and plays guitar, paired with Hitchcock’s tenor voice. Their song “Lost in Love” connected them with Clive Davis, a music industry executive who signed them to Arista Records. “Lost in Love” became the world’s fastest-selling single and they followed it with ”All Out of Love.” Top-selling albums followed and the pair has toured the world

Chaparral wins district baseball championship Wolverines rack up 8-0 victory over Denver East By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Chaparral, the No. 2 seeded team in the Class 5A state baseball playoffs, combined shutout pitching with explosive offense to win the District 5 championship May 11 at Eaton Field. Riley O’Brien hurled a two-hit, seven-inning shutout in the Wolverines’ 8-0 win over Denver East. Max Kuhns, Chaparral’s starting quarterback during the football season, allowed just two hits in a 10-0 victory over Northglenn in the title game that lasted 4½ innings because of the mercy rule. O’Brien, a senior left-hander who is bound for Bethune-Cookman, struck out 12 batters including seven in a row during one stretch of the game. “I really just stuck to my fastball and slider,” said O’Brien. “They just couldn’t hit it. I really focused during the week on my running and prep work and that’s why I did so well. I was just confident I was going to pitch well.” East starting pitcher David LeamanMiller retired the first six Chaparral batters in order, but Keenan Eaton led off the third with a solo home run to spark a four-run rally. Josh Nicol belted a two-run homer in the fifth to stake O’Brien to an 8-0 lead. “We’ve played some teams that have thrown slower pitchers and that kind of caught us off-guard a little bit,” explained O’Brien. “After those first two innings I was a little nervous, but when Keenan hit that home run, I knew that was all we really needed.” Kuhns, a senior who has signed to play baseball at Santa Clara, induced nine ground ball outs and struck out three batters to defeat Northglenn, which had notched a 6-1 win over Legacy to advance to the district title game. “I thought I pitched pretty well and got my defense involved,” Kuhns said. “I just threw strikes and let them put it in play because we have a great defense and I know they are going to make the plays.” Chaparral, the Continental League cochampions, sent 13 batters to the plate and left the bases loaded in an eight-run second inning. Kuhns had a two-run triple during the big second inning and Brett Wallace delivered a two-run single. Wallace wound up with three runs batted in during the game and Zac Guy collected three of the Wolver-

Keenan Eaton swings for the fences. He hit a solo homer in third inning to spark a four-run outburst in Chaparral’s 8-0 win over East on May 11. Photo by Jim Benton ines’ 11 hits. “We have a stacked lineup and I feel our whole team is stacked with three- and four-hole hitters,” said Kuhns. “I feel we are blessed and can’t wait for the next round. We have to work hard to keep playing like we’ve been playing and hopefully get some more Ws.” Chaparral (17-4) advances to the double elimination state tournament to be played May 17-18 and May 24-25. Half of the eight teams are from the Continental League, and that doesn’t include co-champion Regis Jesuit, which lost to Chatfield in the District 2 finals. The Wolverines will play Mountain Vista (13-7) on May 17 in a 12:30 p.m. game at Bishop Machebeuf High School, while last year’s state runners-up Legend (14-7) will open against ThunderRidge (16-5) at 10 a.m. at Machebeuf. During the regular season, Chaparral beat Mountain Vista, 11-3, and Legend edged the Grizzlies, 12-9. The way the bracket unfolds, the four Continental League teams will play against each other in the first two games. “Winning district is a great accomplishment, but this team knows there are bigger things left to do,” said Chaparral coach Tony

Perischina. “These kids are unbelievable. They play for each other, they take care of each other, and that’s a huge thing. You can have a team of great players but it they don’t take of each other, then it’s really nothing. When they play with the type of spirit they have now, it’s awesome.” In other playoff games May 11, Mountain Vista beat Cherokee Trail, 8-4, and edged Dakota Ridge, 8-6, to capture the District 6 title at Dakota Ridge. Dylan Formby cracked three home runs in the Golden Eagles’ two wins, including a gamewinning two-run circuit clout in the victory over Dakota Ridge. Legend traveled to Colorado Springs for the District 5 tournament and the Titans whipped Fairview, 12-0, and allowed only three hits in a 2-0 triumph over Pine Creek. ThunderRidge hosted the District 8 tourney and the Grizzlies beat Fossil Ridge, 6-1, and toppled Grand Junction, 13-3. Andrew Jones and Rowdy Sheets combined to limit Fossil Ridge to three hits while Jake Hand went 3-for-4 to spark the ThunderRidge offense. Josh Brown and Josh Newell each had three hits, Brody Westmoreland drove in three runs and Josh Predolich hit a three-run homer in the win over Grand Junction.

Castle View ended its season with an 8-12 record when the Sabercats dropped a 6-3 decision to Cherry Creek in the District 4 tourney. Douglas County (11-9) was eliminated in the District 2 tournament at Regis when the Huskies were shut out 4-0 by Chatfield. In Class 4A, Valor Christian (14-7) traveled to the District 6 tournament in Delta and left with two shutout triumphs. Daniel Butler pitched a three-hit, seven-inning gem as the Eagles whipped Longmont, 9-0. Butler also had a double, a homer and drove in three runs. Matt Fontneau and Nick Merten combined to pitch a five-inning two-hitter in a 15-0 romp over Delta that saw Valor collect 15 hits. Butler went 2-for-2, scored four runs and had four RBIs. Marco Castilla also was credited with four RBIs. Valor will play Montrose (19-2) in a 12:30 p.m. game May 17 at Cherokee Trail High School in the first game of the double-elimination bracket to determine a state champion. Lutheran beat Limon, 6-2, in the Class 2A district semifinals but lost to Denver Christian, 8-2, in the finals. The Lions (147) still advanced to the Region 2 semifinals and will play Peyton (16-5) at 10 a.m. May 18 at Niwot High School.

HigH SCHool SportS roundup Griffin sets meet records in pool

Carter Griffin spent a lot of time on the podium at the Heritage High School swimming pool. Carter swims for the Ponderosa co-op team and set two meet records and was on a pair of winning relay teams May 17-18 at the Continental League boys swimming championships. Regis Jesuit won the team title with 668 points, followed by Highlands Ranch with 597 points and Ponderosa with 441. Carter, a senior at Chaparral who is the defending state champion in the 200- and

500-yard freestyle events, set a league record of 46.92 in the 100 freestyle to eclipse the previous Continental best of 47.10, set by Luke Wagner of Regis. In the 100-yard backstroke Carter set league record and tied the pool standard of 50.14 in a victorious swim. The old league record of 50.16 was held by Kyle Milberg of Highlands Ranch, and he matched the Heritage pool mark of Regis’ Hennessey Stuart. Carter also swam a leg on Ponderosa’s 200- and 400-yard relay teams. J.P. Beach of Castle View/Douglas Coun-

ty was also a double winner. He captured the 50-yard freestyle with a league record time of 21.55. He broke the old standard of 21.68 set by Heritage’s Joey Hinton. Beach also won the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:55.20. The Class 5A state swimming championships will be held May 17-18 at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction.

Bowers, Turnage double winners

ThunderRidge senior Erin Bowers and Connor Turnage of Highlands Ranch each won two events at the Continental League

track and field championships held May 17-18 at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker.

Turnage, a junior, captured the boys long jump with a leap of 22-9.26 and was first in the triple jump with a 48-8.75 effort. ThunderRidge won both the boys and girls team championship.

Valor Christian has high hopes in girls golf Class 4A state tourney set for Broken Tee By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Valor Christian girls golf coach Scotty Hofer hopes his team can take a couple more steps forward during the Class 4A State High School Girls Golf Tournament. The tournament will be played May 2021 at the 5,820-yard, par 72 Broken Tee Golf Club in Englewood, which just happens to be the Eagles’ home course. Valor won the Metro-West regional qualifying tournament May 7 at Fox Hollow with a 234 total. “We won the regional so our whole team qualified,” said Hofer. “I feel we have a very good chance. We just have to perform the way we are capable of and I think we can

win the state championship. “We’ve been coming on the past few years. We placed fourth two years ago and placed third last year. In the past Regis has been a very strong 4A school, but they chose to go 5A this year.” Hofer knows gaining two spots from last year’s finish will not be easy. “There is still good competition that we are expecting from Cheyenne Mountain and Montrose,” he said. “Those are the teams I know about. And I really don’t know about Montrose because they are from the Western Slope and you don’t hear about them.” Tori Glenn and Andrea Ballou paced the Eagles in the regional championship with scores of 77. Sarah Belmear finished with an 80 and Laura Cohan carded an 88. Only the top three scores count in the team standings, as Valor outdistanced Golden by 10 strokes. “We’ll have a team of four this year,” said

Hofer. “Two years ago we had three golfers. Each day just three scores count, but that first day you don’t want to put yourself behind the eight ball. You want to be consistent each day.” Hofer doesn’t feel playing at Broken Tee will be all that much of an advantage for the Eagles. “People might think it is our home course,” he said. “We have all our practices there but we really haven’t really played the course that much. We’ve played a few times, the front nine for sure. With the bad weather we have had, we really haven’t got on the course. We plan to do that.” Valor played in the Cheyenne Mountain Invite May 14 at the Broadmoor, which matches two of the top Class 4A teams in a mini state tourney preview. “We are fortunate the way our schedule worked out,” said Hofer. “We got eight tournaments in where some of the other teams got like four because of the weather.

We played down at the Broadmoor and that was our ninth tournament so that’s pretty good.” Jennifer Kupcho of Jefferson Academy, who was third last season, and fourth-place finisher Taylor Dorans of Broomfield will be among the Class 4A individual favorite players. Glenn tied for ninth in the 2012 state tournament. The Class 5A state tournament will be held May 20-21 at Tiara Rado in Grand Junction. Defending champion Cherry Creek, Arapahoe and Fairview, the schools that finished one-two-three last season, are expected to be among the teams contenting for the team title. Arapahoe’s Hannah Wood and Calli Ringsby of Cherry Creek head a long list of golfers who could win the individual state title, and Creek’s MacKenzie Cohen, who was the surprise 2012 state tournament medalist, can’t be overlooked.

REAL ESTATE CAREERS MARKETPLACE SERVICE DIRECTORY

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? Matt Kuchar, GRI, CDPE, FIS How long have you worked in Real Estate? I started selling Manufactured Homes to retirees in I enjoy fixing up and improving my house. Sounds weird Realtor®

Orlando Florida back in 1990. In 2000, I began my real estate career at Century 21 in Fort Myers until I opened my own brokerage in 2002.

303-710-3810 matt@calldenverhome.com www.CallDenverHome.com

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? I specialize in listing and selling residential homes and condominiums. A specific skill set is needed to assist seller in preparing their homes for sale and presenting them in a way that maximizes their return.

Where were you born? I was born in Saginaw, Michigan How long have you lived in the area? My family and I moved to Colorado from Ft. Myers Florida in June of 2006

What is the most challenging part of what you do? The most challenging part of real estate comes when dealing with multiple offer scenarios from both the selling and buying side of a transaction. There may be many that want the property but only one person is going to get it. The other interested parties are going to be disappointed.

What do you like most about it? I love the laid back attitude of the people in Colorado. The mountains are fantastic and weather constantly changes. However, the way people here take the time to enjoy life and spend time outdoors and with one another is a source of constant encouragement.

L E D MO ! N E P O W O

but I get a lot of satisfaction from that.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? Hire an agent that is familiar with the area that you live in and has a good success rate in that area – listen to their advice. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Get all of your financial matters in order with the mortgage company prior to looking at homes. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? Most recently, I showed a home with a room in the basement that had several locks on the door and fluorescent lights coming from underneath the door. I don’t think they were preparing tomatoes for spring planting.

WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT.

WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra�smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and sustainable building techniques. The thicker walls in our New Town Builders’ high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula�on than in a conven�onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we can get 2 ½ �mes MORE insula�on in the a�c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill! Talk to us about building your (surprisingly aﬀordable) energy-eﬃcient new home.

ou have just signed a contract to make the largest purchase that you probably will ever make in your lifetime - a home. Not only is it wise to understand the details of the purchase contract, but it is also important to understand potential problems you may be facing in the home itself. That is what home inspections are all about. Theoretically, you can inspect a home yourself. However, when you purchase a home, the average buyer looks for reasons to buy it and not for problems the home might have. That is why an unbiased home inspector, who will cost you somewhere between $250-$500 depending on the size of the home, is almost mandatory in any home purchse. In Colorado, home inspectors

do naot have any licensing requirements. Most home inspectors enroll in a course that teaches them what to look for. However, because there is no state test in Colorado, an inspector who graduates from an authorized course can begin inspecting homes right away. Therefore, you should always inquire how many homes the inspector that you are planning to hire has inspected so that you are not getting a rookie. It is also important to know that most contracts required by home inspectors in Colorado limit their liability in the event they fail to disclose serious defects. That means if the inspector fails to notice a serious mold condition that may require up to several thousand dollars worth of remediation, the most you can expect to collect against him in a suit is the amount that you paid him for the inspection. The main things the inspector will look for in reviewing the condition of the home is the heating system, plumbing, electrical system, and central air conditioning system, as well as the roof, attic, visible insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, foundation, basement, landscaping and visible structure. Most inspectors will also offer you additional services such as radon testing, water testing and termite in-

spection, all at an extra but minimal charge. The standard Colorado real estate purchase contract allows a buyer to require the seller to remedy unsatisfactory conditions, adjust the purchase price or terminate the contract. In fact, the inspection clause allows the buyer a complete escape from the purchase contract for any reason or no reason at all. It is one of several escape clauses in the contract that sellers should be aware of when taking their homes off the market. If a buyer is acting in good faith, he will provide for an early inspection in the contract so that he can exercise the clause early if need be to allow the seller to put the house back on the market. A seller should be wary of buyers who leave the inspection too far down the road, especially in the high selling season. Responsible real estate brokers representing buyers will call for an early inspection so that their buyer can get an early estimate of what corrections, if any, the home needs. In any case, a home inspection is a must for a buyer and is even a good idea for an individual that is not selling his or her home to just get an independent opinion if there are any issues in the home that need immediate correction. n
