Police dogs’ pals do their part Walk, barbecue help raise funds for bulletproof vests By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Tails were wagging everywhere one looked as nearly 100 dog lovers and supporters —— and their dogs — hit the trail at Hidden Mesa Open Space in Franktown to support the safety of two of the Douglas County’s Sheriff’s Office’s five working dogs. The Wag Your Tail Dog Walk and Barbecue June 22 helped raise $3,000 of the necessary $4,500 to purchase Kevlar vests for Zoos and Doc, the two newest dogs in the unit. The event, organized by the Friends of Douglas County K-9 Foundation, was used not only to raise money for the vests, but to educate the public on the K-9 unit. “We wouldn’t be able to have the necessary tools we need to be successful and safe if it wasn’t for the donations we receive,” said Deputy Greg Black, who had the unfortunate experience of having one of his dogs wounded by gunfire in the past. While the sheriff’s department funds many of the necessary items for the dogs, the foundation formed in 2011 to help take care of other costs, such as the purchase of

bulletproof vests and the continuation of veterinary care for the retired dogs. “We saw a need to help replace the dogs that were retiring, to help care for the retired dogs and that the dogs need equipment,” said veterinarian David Swieckowski, who has been caring for the county’s dogs at the Franktown Animal Clinic for 17 years. In the past two years, the foundation has raised close to $176,000 to help the Douglas County K-9 Unit attend outside trainings with some of the world’s top trainers; purchase training equipment, supplies and veterinary care; and purchase Zoos, Doc and the third-newest member of the unit, Tank. In addition to the important police work the dogs do, Deputy Paul Montville said the most important aspect of their jobs is “their ability to be ice breakers and act like a go-between” between the officers and the public at events such as the barbecue, where the officers and their dogs put on a full demonstration and fielded questions about what it is like in the field, living with

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com The Parker Water and Sanitation District has signed an agreement that will send an average of 1,200 acre-feet of water from Aurora to Parker each year. Parker Water joins nine other members of the South Metro Water Supply Authority that have signed on to WISE, or the Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency agreement. The June 13 approval by the PWSD board of directors adds another source of water for the area’s long-term needs, said district manager Ron Redd. Parker Water pulls much of its water supply from the Denver Basin Aquifer, but it also captures an average of 5,000 acrefeet annually off Cherry Creek. The WISE agreement will have Parker piping 12,000 acre-feet of recycled water from Aurora and Denver every 10 years for an indefinite period of time. Water rates will likely go up 1 percent to 2 percent incrementally because of WISE, although any increases will not occur until a thorough rate analysis is conducted, Redd said. The results of the analysis will be released in mid-2014. The PWSD will start receiving the first trickles of water in 2016 and get full delivery of 1,200 acre-feet starting in 2021. The district hopes to use an existing pipeline along the E-470 corridor to transport the water and is in the process of negotiating with the East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District. If an agreement is not reached, the district would have to build its own infrastructure at a steep cost. The Pinery Water and Wastewater District, along with a handful of smaller south metro districts, announced earlier this year that it had purchased 500 acre-feet of water through WISE. Parker Water needs 20,000 acre-feet for full build-out of the Town of Parker, the Ridgegate development in Lone Tree, and portions of Castle Pines. It is still searching for an additional 6,000 acre-feet. The supply coming from Denver and Aurora is water that has been used and treated. The district will again reclaim the water, meaning the average of 1,200 acre-feet coming in each year will actually measure close t0 2,400 acre-feet, Redd said, adding there is a possibility that Parker Water might purchase more WISE water in the future. In addition to bolstering its water supply, Redd says working with the two largest Water continues on Page 12

County elevates fire ban to Stage 2 Staff report Douglas County has elevated its fire restrictions to Stage 2. The ban, which went into effect June 21, comes on the heels of a week that saw a four-acre brush fire break out in Highlands Ranch, the Lime Gulch Fire burn 500 acres in adjacent Jefferson County and a handful of other fires around the state. Under the ban, the use of personal and professional fireworks is prohibited as is open burning of any kind; use of fires in
chimineas, other portable fires or patio fire pits; and campfires at developed campgrounds or picnic areas. Allowable activities are limited to the use of personal charcoal and gas grills, liquid- or gas-fueled fire pits or other gas- or liquid-fueled appliances. Violation of any of the fire restrictions is considered a Class 2 petty offense and is punishable by up to a $1,000 fine. More information on fire restriction stages can be located at www.douglas. co.us.

Campaign touts lightning safety 91 people have been killed in Colorado since 1980
LIGHTNING BY THE NUMBERS
500,000 – lightning strikes in Colorado each year 91 – people killed by lightning in Colorado since 1980 $1 billion – damage nationally each year $5,100 – average insurance claims from residential
By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com With wildfires raging around Colorado, there is understandably a focus on the serious threat they pose to life and property. But one threat that gets some of the least attention does some of the worst damage. Lightning kills more people in Colorado each year than any other weather phenomenon, with 91 people having died since 1980. The numbers are elevated in part because of the state’s active population, with much of the activity taking place in the most unsafe place to be during a storm: outdoors. The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority held a press conference June 21 along with representatives from the Lightning Safety Alliance, the Lightning Protection Institute and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. They were calling attention to Lightning Awareness Week, a campaign meant to educate the public about the dangers of lightning in the hopes of saving lives and protecting property. “There is nothing more important to us,” said Dan Qualman, chief of South Metro Fire Rescue. Lightning causes approximately $1 billion in property damage annually across the U.S., and the focus of this year’s Light-

South Metro Fire Rescue Chief Dan Qualman discusses the need for lightning protection systems for residential and commercial structures during a press conference June 21. Lightning causes an estimated $1 billion in property damage in the U.S. each year. Photo by Chris Michlewicz ning Awareness Week, from June 23-29, was to highlight the importance of lightning protection systems for both residential and commercial structures. The press conference took place at South Metro’s station 45, on Northgate Drive in
Parker, where a protection system has been installed. Surprisingly, some fire stations have been without the lightning strike mitigation systems because of budget cuts. A direct strike could potentially blow out the communications system.
Kim Loehr, communications director for the nonprofit Lightning Protection Institute, said lightning is an “underrated threat” and a strike to a home can be disastrous. She said rods on the protection systems do not attract lightning, as some believe, but rather provide a pathway to the ground. South Metro responds to dozens of lightning strikes to homes each year, some that spark attic fires that get out of control. There is also a risk of explosions and damage to a building’s electrical system, not to mention electronics that are plugged in. The Lightning Safety Alliance recently partnered with the insurance and construction industries to find ways to mitigate risks to buildings. A lightning protection system for a home costs $1,500 to $3,000, which is comparable to a home security system, Loehr said. A system for a commercial structure costs around $5,000 to $7,000.

Real Estate Breakfast is eye-opener B Panelists see market revival in south metro Denver area
Chi Do
By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Panelists at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce’s 18th annual Real Estate Breakfast forecast a happy future for those in the industry, as well as home sellers and the overall south suburban economy. “Clearly, the real estate market is recovering and strengthening, the residential market particularly,” Sterling Ranch principal Harold Smethills told an audience of about 500 gathered June 20 at Lone Tree’s Marriott Denver South. South Metro Denver Realtor Association chairwoman Jo Pellegrino Ellis ticked off a list of positive metro-area housing statistics, which showed from May 2012 to May 2013 new listings increased by 21.8 percent, sales by 22.5 percent, median home prices by 8 percent, and the days of buyers pitching successful low-ball offers are ending. “Total days on the market are down about 38 percent (to) about 47 days,” Ellis said, adding the average changes with location. “Some places in Highlands Ranch, they’re on the market for a number of hours.” Everitt Real Estate Center director Eric Holsapple echoed some of Smethills’ and Ellis’ optimism, noting that 60,000 new jobs are expected in Colorado in the next year.

Housing starts are up, but only about 50 percent of where we were in 2006-07.” Holsapple and Ellis both said the anticipated rise in interest rates isn’t cause for fear, particularly for real estate agents. “When interest rates start to creep up a

A 35-year-old woman who answered the door was “uncooperative” with responding officers, according to a report. After issuing a warning to turn down her music, the officers began to leave the area. However, the woman continued to yell and slammed a door. They then heard the music get louder. The woman was issued a summons for disturbing the peace.
Robbery call ends in warrant arrest
Officers responded to a reported robbery at the Lowes Home Improvement store on Twenty Mile Road, next door to the police department, at 2:40 p.m. June 3. It was discovered that a robbery did not take place, but when police contacted the suspect, they found that he had an active warrant out of Arapahoe County for failure to comply. He was taken into custody and transported the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.

A Parker police officer initiated a traffic stop near the intersection of Cottonwood Drive at Brompton Way about 12:49 a.m. June 5. A 24-year-old passenger in the vehicle provided false information to the police officer that was inconsistent and prompted further investigation. The officer detected

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the District At- Jefferson torney’s Office ask that anyone who hired Jefferson as a baby-sitter between the years of 2009 and 2011 contact law enforcement if they suspect that he engaged in any sexual contact with their children or other inappropriate behavior. “This case is a chilling reminder that our children are at risk if left with strangers,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “As a parent of young children, I am determined to make sure that these predatory practices are discovered and punished. Nobody gets to victimize our children with impunity.” According to Gallo, it took the Highlands Ranch victim two years to come forward, and the boy did so after Jefferson pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of sex assault on a child by a person in a position of trust in Arapahoe County for the 2011 incident.
All of Pike and San Isabel national forests are currently under Stage 1 fire restrictions. The two forests extend into 14 Colorado counties, and nearly a quarter of Douglas County falls in Pike National Forest. The Stage 1 Ban means that fires are only allowed in constructed, permanent fire pits or grates within developed recreation sites. The use of portable stoves, gas lanterns, jellied petroleum, pressurized liquid fuel or a fully enclosed stove with a quarter-inch spark arrester type screen is also permitted. Smoking is prohibited in the forests, except in an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials. Use of chain saws is only allowed with a USDA- or SAE-approved spark arrester, a chemical pressurized fire extinguisher on hand and a round-point shovel with an overall length of at least 35 inches readily available for use. In addition, welding and other torches are only permitted with at

He is now in custody in Douglas County on a no-bond hold pending his sentencing. “We take the safety of our community extremely seriously,” Care.com Vice President Nancy Bushkin said in a statement. “We are committed to providing families the best tools and resources to help them make an informed hiring decision and have implemented a number of safety features to help families find quality care providers. “Equally as important to the measures
we have instituted, and the tools that we have created for our members to use, is for families to exercise appropriate steps in safety, including meeting care providers before hiring them, reference checks and monitoring the relationship. We are deeply saddened by this news and this incident reinforces the need for everyone — families, communities and companies like us who service them, to be vigilant in assuring the well-being and safety of our children.” While Bushkin added that the online organization reached out to all families with whom Jefferson had been in contact, she refused to say how many families had contracted with the baby-sitter or how long he offered his services on the site. Bushkin said Jefferson’s account was immediately closed after the first incident came to light.

When the officer attempted to take the man into custody, he fled on foot in an attempt to escape. Officers were able to apprehend him and place him in custody after a lengthy foot pursuit. He faces charges of resisting arrest, obstruction of a peace officer, violation of a restraining order and false reporting to authorities. It was later determined the man also had an active warrant out of Douglas County for failure to comply. He was transported to the Douglas County Detention Facility.

Officers responded at 7:30 p.m. June 5 to the 22600 block of Riverchase Way on a report of a fraud. An elderly male victim reported that he received a phone call from a male who identified himself as a law enforcement officer. The man told the victim he had arrested his nephew and the nephew was currently in custody. The first male handed the phone to a second unknown male who pretended to be the victim’s nephew. The “nephew” told the victim he had been arrested for a narcotics offence and needed $2,000 for bail money and the bail bondsmen would only do a wire transfer. The victim sent the money via Western Union and later learned the entire incident was fraudulent and his nephew had never

Never abandon the fire until it is out cold. • If you do not have water, use dirt.

First ladies-only cycling event coming Douglas County ride is ideal for novices
TWO TOUR DE LADIES ROUTES The route starts at Chaparral High School, heads down Stonegate Parkway, goes south on Jordan Road, to Mainstreet, then Motsenbocker, which turns into Crowfoot Valley Road. The 30-mile route route goes east from Pradera to the Pinery, then leads north on the Cherry Creek Regional Trail. The 62.5-mile route continues south on Crowfoot Valley Road to Founders Parkway, then to Castlewood Canyon State Park and eventually to Lake Gulch Road near Larkspur.

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com The organizers of Douglas County’s first women’s-only cycling event have a few big goals in mind, but competitive ambitions aren’t part of the mix. Priority one is making sure the participants of Tour de Ladies have a great time as they wind along roads and trails that introduce them to the county’s most bicycle-friendly topography. The second goal is raising money and awareness for a local nonprofit that assists battered women and their children. Becki Rupp, chairwoman of the Tour de Ladies publicity team, says she expects between $2,000 and $5,000 will be raised for the Women’s Crisis and Family Outreach Center through entry fees and donations. An organizing committee estimates between 300 and 400 women will sign up for the July 13 event, which begins at Chaparral High School in Parker. Rupp is quick to clarify that Tour de Ladies is not a race and is ideal for novice riders who simply want to experience a relaxing ride with a few friends. “There will be tons of signs, people ringing cowbells and cheering them on,” she said. “It’s the whole experience of going out and having fun and feeling that sense of accomplishment and doing it with your
Tour de Ladies will take cyclists through the rolling hills of Douglas County July 13. The non-competitive ride will benefit the Women’s Crisis and Family Outreach Center. Courtesy photo peers.” The original founders of Tour de Ladies — ironically two men who noticed a glaring lack of women at local cycling races — put a small inaugural ride together in 2011. The 2013 version is a “rebirth” of that event, said Rupp, who has taken part in the Elephant Rock ride in Castle Rock and the Bike MS event in Denver.
Some more experienced riders will take part in the Tour de Ladies, which is hosted by the Colorado Riders Club. The tour route will be fully supported with water, food and aid stations. It features options of a 30-mile route and a 62.5-mile “metric century” route to appeal to cyclists of advanced levels. Support comes in the form of “SAG in Drag,” or “support and gear” from men
dressed in skirts and frilly tops. The Tour de Ladies is helping a critically important organization, Rupp said. Domestic violence is among the top crimes in Douglas County and demand is always growing. “This stuff happens here, too,” she said. “It’s good to support an organization that may be helping a neighbor without you even knowing it.” Lynn Adams, marketing and outreach coordinator for the Women’s Crisis Center, said the organization is very appreciative to be selected as the beneficiary for the event. “We appreciate the community partnership and it is just a great representation of how the community can come together to make a difference,” Adams said. There are no limits on the number of people on a team. The minimum age for participation is 15. For more information or to register, go to www.tourdeladies.com or visit the event’s Facebook page.
Animal owners get help in time of need THINGS TO DO Heritage Pet among many shops offering discounted rates
‘It’s neighbor helping neighbor and hopefully getting them through by stepping up and helping where they can.’
By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews. com With the smell of smoke fresh on their clothes, weary customers began pouring into Heritage Pet. The Parker pet shop, grooming and boarding facility was ready. As soon as the Black Forest Fire broke out June 12, owner Vickie Zwart began calling friends who own kennels in Colorado Springs to help coordinate the boarding of evacuated pets. But the kennels were already full and extra space was needed. Then Zwart did what many Parker business owners did in the wake of the wildfire. She put a message on Facebook saying she was “here to help.” Families from pre-evacuation and evacuation zones, some of whom only had time to grab their animals, took her up on the offer. Zwart slashed her boarding rates for those desperately trying to find a place for their pets while at the same time searching for a hotel room. Zwart recalls one particularly touching story as an example of
Vickie Zwart, Parker pet shop owner what was happening during the frantic period when nearly the entire Black Forest area was in danger of going up in flames. A family came in with a young girl who was clutching her cat and crying softly. The girl had just lost her home, toys, clothes, everything. “She said: `This is all I have left. Could you please take special care of my cat?’” Zwart said. “The desk people started crying, the customers were crying.” Heritage Pet temporarily waived its requirement to have vaccination records and food for boarded pets. She later found out that the family did not have time to grab the cat food. A few staff members were so moved that they bought food for the cat. Others gathered donations of dog toys and food for other evacuees. Zwart, who lives on acreage prop-

erty, says she offered an extra stall in her barn, and a friend in a pre-evacuation area brought three horses that stayed from June 14 to June 17. Another friend did not have time to load her horse, but wrote her name and phone number on the horse in black marker and let it go so it would not be trapped. That friend has not been reunited with the horse. Another friend went to the Black Forest Fire with a trailer and picked up horses that were running loose. Facebook pages and websites were established to reconnect owners with their pets. Zwart says it was uplifting to see so many people offer help during such a difficult time. “It’s neighbor helping neighbor and hopefully getting them through by stepping up and helping where they can,” she said.

g School board election gearing up Divisive changes fuel passion on all sides
‘The school board’s been doing a lot of good things over the last four years and those things are consistent
By Jane Reuter

More than four months in advance of the Douglas County School District board election, the buzz already is building. Four seats are up for grabs on the now reform-friendly, all-Republican board in November, including those belonging to John criti-Carson, Doug Benevento, Carrie Mendoza said.and Meghann Silverthorn.

Benevento and ve toMendoza haven’t yet put their intentions on vent. the record. tner- Regardless, the campaigning to either on ofretain or replace current candidates is uner toderway. Some of it in public. Much of it behind er ofclosed doors. The board’s efforts at education reform is 15.— including a voucher program, dissolugo totion of the teachers’ union agreement and ent’sa pay-for-performance plan — have ignited controversy in the community. The Douglas County Republicans in February set up an education committee with a stated purpose to “recruit school board candidates” and create “strategy for school board election.” A second committee soon will begin interviewing potential board candidates. Former board candidate and DCSD spokeswoman Susan Meek, who is often critical of the board and district, recently announced she’ll devote her time to help candidates she supports get elected. A group called Voices for Public Education, sponsored by anti-school-voucher plaintiffs Taxpayers for Public Education, this month started a series of pro-public education speakers’ events slated to run
with what we’d like to see happen in education.’ Craig Steiner, Douglas County Republican chairman between now and the election. Another group, originally launched only as a Facebook page called DougCo Champions for Kids, is sponsoring a series of public meetings designed to share the school district’s viewpoints on various issues. “I think there is so much misinformation out there it’s having an effect on teacher morale,” said board supporter Franceen Thompson, a district captain with the Douglas County Republicans and volunteer with DougCo Champions for Kids. “If we can just get the facts out there, and get a better understanding of what’s going on, I think that will help.” Teachers’ union representatives are speaking at private house parties about ongoing DCSD issues and the upcoming election. “We talk about what’s happening,” said Brenda Smith, president of the Douglas County Federation teachers’ union. “We present the information. We talk about our survey, the decline and the culture of climate, the number of teachers that have actually left.” The words of people on both sides of the county’s education issues are serious and often dire in tone. “Our education system in the county is really in danger,” Taxpayers for Public Education president Cindy Barnard, a voucher opponent, said before author Angela Engel launched the Voices series June 18. “In Douglas County, due to our demographics, we are at ground zero for this experiment in public education.” “In my opinion, we can’t afford to lose a single seat. Not one,” Thompson said. Statements both accurate and false are broadcast in public meetings and on a va-

riety of Facebook pages. During a recent Coffee for Conservatives meeting in Franktown, organizer Margo Knutson said the union and its affiliates plan to spend $8 million during the school board elections. Smith said that’s not accurate. “The answer is, I don’t know yet,” she said. “But I think it’s going to be a very interesting election. “We are always looking for really good candidates. Teachers want a school board member that supports neighborhood schools.” Smith said board members often incorrectly point to the union as the cause of parent-led protests and meetings. The union’s long-standing collective bargaining agreement with the district expired in 2012. “That’s what sells and they think that’s what gives it negativity,” she said. “Union
or not, you have a very large population of teachers that are dissatisfied with the direction of the school district. They have a really hard time accepting that fact.” Douglas County Republicans chairman Craig Steiner said he will make details about the group’s role in the election process public in about a month. Though most board candidates in past elections were Republicans, Steiner said, “We’re not just of one mind.” “The school board’s been doing a lot of good things over the last four years and those things are consistent with what we’d like to see happen in education,” he said. “We’d like to see a school board continue to do those things, and we’re looking for Republicans that are there to support the things the board is trying to do.” Advocates on both sides of the school district issues sometimes use the same phrases to explain their concerns. Meek is among many concerned with recent district decisions who said she wants to restore the parent voice to the conversation. Thompson, meanwhile, said the atmosphere in the school district has changed for the better under the current administration and board. “Now I think parents have more of a voice than they’ve ever had before,” she said.

opinions / yours and ours
On July 4, have a blast, without fireworks Once again, it looks like many of Colorado’s communities are headed toward a Fourth of July without fireworks. Last year, arguably Colorado’s worst ever for wildfires, saw a statewide burning ban that prohibited fireworks. Already this year, fires have scorched tens of thousands of acres throughout the state. No statewide ban has been put in place as of yet, but make no mistake, Colorado is in emergency mode. In many counties, officials have taken common-sense, precautionary measures and instituted burning rules that, among other things, outlaw personal use and professional displays of fireworks. Unless the skies open up immediately and consistently, these bans are likely to
our view
remain in place at least through July 4. For many, that means, like last year, celebrating the holiday without one of our nation’s most treasured traditions. Yes, fireworks are fun. They have come to be seen as a sparkling, brilliant reminder of our independence. But much of Colorado is too dry, the conditions too ripe for danger, to risk it.
We see this as a necessary inconvenience. Moreover, we encourage residents to be diligent in following whatever restrictions their county or municipality has imposed. A single, carelessly discarded cigarette has been known to start a major wildfire. Certainly, flaming objects designed to explode in the air have the potential to create at least as much havoc. Consider some statistics from the National Fire Protection Association: In 2011, fireworks caused an estimated 17,8000 reported fires, including 1,200 total structure fires, 400 vehicle fires and 16,300 outside and other fires. These fires resulted in an estimated eight reported civilian deaths, 40 civilian injuries and $32 million in direct property damage. In a normal year, more
fires are reported on July 4 than on any other day, and fireworks are the major culprit, according to the association. Imagine the potential for disaster if errant fireworks landed in a wooded area of Colorado. It’s not worth the risk for a few minutes of viewing pleasure. And if doing the right thing for Coloradans’ safety isn’t enough, consider the potential damage to a scofflaw’s wallet. In unincorporated Douglas County, for example, setting off fireworks comes with up to a $1,000 fine. We could make a case that fines should be even stiffer. Independence Day is rooted in major sacrifice. Eating hot dogs and enjoying the company of family and friends without fireworks is a rather small one.
question of the week
What will you do for fun on July 4? With the cancellation of many professional fireworks displays due to stage 2 fire bans, we asked four residents of Highlands
Ranch at the 2013 Hawaiian Ho’olaule’a Summer Festival how they plan to have fun on the Fourth of July.
“I haven’t really thought about the Fourth of July yet. I have two young children, so it’s difficult for us to watch a fireworks display.” — Delaine Baker, Highlands Ranch “I will probably still have a fire in my backyard even with a fire ban because we don’t have any grass back there.” — Sam Rosean, Highlands Ranch
“I will probably get a bunch of friends together and run around at the park and have a dance competition.” — Tanner Steed, Highlands Ranch “I really don’t know. I haven’t figured that out yet. I usually watch the fireworks, but I’m sure I will find something to do.” — John Harada, Highlands Ranch
A fifth sense tells me where to shop When it’s time to go to the grocery store and pick up some dog food and strawberries, where do you go? And why? There are five good grocery stores ten minutes from my front door. I wind up at the same one most of the time. You’ll never guess why. They’re all convenient, so that isn’t it. Because one has the best coupons? I think coupons are a form of condescension. If you want to act like a gerbil and nibble coupons out of the newspaper, go ahead. The employees? If I stray from my favorite, that’s the reason. There’s a vegetable gentleman who knows his vegetables. There’s a woman in the deli who knows her deli. There’s a cute girl in meat and seafood. I’m fond of an employee who works at self-checkout. She and my sister have the same name. Value for my dollar? I am not very conscious of things like that. I should be. I’ll pay more for the item with the bestlooking label. If I lived in Nowhere, Colorado, I might not have a choice. There might be only one store in town, and it could an important hub in my life. That’s not true when you have five to choose from. Most of the time I shop and never say a word to anyone. I scowl now and then, when someone is myopically blocking the aisle. Or when it seems as if parents have brought their children in for Mickey Mouse Club auditions. You can’t shop for groceries online. You can to a point, but it’s not practical or timely to order a pumpkin that way. Or a banana. While we’re here: How long do your bananas last? Mine turn brown on the way home from the store. It seems. The reason why I shop at one store more than the others is the sound of music. I am not sure why there is music in grocery stores at all. Is it awkward if it’s too quiet around the crab cakes. Does music lubricate sales? All I know is that in four of the five stores, the music is abysmal. Most of the music is offensive, too loud, and chosen by Farmer Ted, Hallmark, or
someone named Dude. It doesn’t seem to matter. “Here is some music, on the house. It may be an irritant, but at least we were thinking of you.” No you weren’t. Stores spend a lot of money on marketing, but, like I said, Dude is the disc jockey. The shopping experience, if it must include music, is much better when it seems like someone cares what I am listening to, not just the stuff the feds used to try to flush out the Branch Davidians. One of the four stores began to play Christmas music before Thanksgiving. I can’t stand Christmas music to begin with. Five weeks of it is unbearable. I am not going to name names, but here’s a hint. In my favorite store, you can buy some of the music you have just listened to — in the checkout line. And another thing, you won’t hear some irksome recording telling you how great the place is over and over from the store’s speakers while you’re shopping. I asked someone who works in The Four how she could stand the music all day, and she said, “I tune it out.” What if the music contributed to the in-store experience, instead of being a perfunctory adjunct, as it is now? Who cares, right? I do. The world of music has never been more inclusive and brilliant. Employ someone to program it who sees that. And hears that.

Letter to the editor Real tragedy is what’s being done to schools
Regarding the June 14 article, “Protesters picket school fundraiser”: Comments by Douglas County School District officials regarding demonstrating parents couldn’t have been more hypocritical. Doug Benevento (school board member) and Cinamon Watson (DCSD spokeswoman and Douglas County Educational Foundation executive director) criticize parents for “politicizing” this event. Yet they and their colleagues had already politicized the event by inviting Colorado Rep. Frank McNulty to speak. They have put politics front and center in the district in recent years, bringing politicians like Ted Harvey and Chris Holbert into board meetings, with Holbert actually stated during one public meeting, “I’m here to remind you and thank you for allowing politics to be part of what you do in this district.” Mr. Benevento and Ms. Watson also call this effort by parents to make their voices heard “in poor taste,” “abysmal,” “over the line” and “tragic.” On the contrary, what’s really in poor taste is turning school board
Parker Chronicle
meetings into political showcases in which parents and taxpayers who express concerns about the district are belittled and mocked. What’s really abysmal is cutting high school class time by over 10 hours per 1.0 credit class, when the money was there and the staff cuts weren’t required. This results in a truly tragic, minimum loss of over 240 hours of instructional time over a student’s high school years. What’s really over the line is the district’s refusal to listen to parents, answer simple questions about the contractual relationship with event organizers, and actually provide the transparency that they continue to boast about. What’s really tragic is the increased rates at which good teachers are leaving this district for others that treat them with respect. What’s happening to our school district under their leadership is tragic, and we parents are simply doing what we can to bring attention to the situation. Connie Davison Highlands Ranch

I don’t know about you, but I am fed up with all the trumped-up attacks on Douglas County public schools by the AFL-CIO, ACLU and the cottage industry of prounion attack groups that have sprouted up across our community. When you read all the press accounts of it, you can’t help but wonder: Do Douglas County Schools belong to us, or to liberal special-interest groups like the ACLU and the AFL-CIO? Dougco schools are the national leader in public school innovation. While too many other school systems accept the all-too-mediocre status quo, we don’t. Not here. Our schools are the best in the nation. And it isn’t by accident. Our schools are world-class because of great teachers, great students, great parents and bold reform initiatives undertaken by our school board and superintendent. Unfortunately, liberal groups like the AFL-CIO and ACLU have fought reform here in Douglas County over the last several years at every step of the way. The ACLU sued to stop our school choice program. And the local affiliate of the AFL-CIO has harassed and harangued and badgered and bullied this district every time the school district turns on the lights. They call lots of press conferences; they file lots of frivolous lawsuits and record re-
quests; the union operatives do just about everything except promote good schools in Douglas County. I’m fed up. People often ask, why is the union always red-in-the-face mad at the Dougco school board and administration? And the answer is pretty simple — follow the money. Sure, the local education union hates bold reforms like performance pay, charters and scholarships. But the real reason the union is so viscerally opposed to the direction of this district is because its leaders did something that no other district in Colorado has — Dougco turned off the union money spigot. For 15 years, this school district had a sweetheart handshake deal with the union, under which classroom dollars were used to pay union salaries and travel expenses. Millions of dollars, in all, wasted on union fleecing. Imagine that: Classroom dollars
that could have been used to reduce class size or pay for school supplies, they went to union salaries and union trips instead. The local union, of course, was also skimming millions of dollars from teachers’ salaries and dumping the bulk of it into Democratic political campaigns. Well, last year the Douglas County school board and administration said no more. Not again. Dougco money will stay in teachers’ pockets, not campaign coffers; our classroom dollars will be spent in classrooms, not on big-dollar union salaries. This, of course, has the union hopping mad. And they are spreading all sorts of untrue nonsense. Why? They are bullying until they get their money back. The latest bogus charge of these liberal attack groups — that teachers are fleeing school districts en masse. Recently, a small handful of union teachers did in fact stage a “walkout”; the small group staged a protest to announce that were leaving, most to accept union jobs in neighboring districts. But even with this small, union-orchestrated walkout, Douglas County Schools has a teacher retention rate that beats the statewide average, according to the Colorado Department of Education. Union-friendly districts like Denver and Aspen schools have a much higher teacher
turnover rate than Dougco. Douglas County’s teacher retention rate is roughly the same as Cherry Creek Schools. And speaking of stubborn facts, there is one more fact that needs to be highlighted for all the union cronies busy trash-talking our school system — and that is that Douglas County is one of the best school districts in America. That is the big truth. Since our new school board and superintendent have taken over, our dropout rate has plummeted. This year, our ACT scores beat the statewide average by a full two points. Our graduation rate beats the national average by 10 points, and beats Colorado’s graduation rate by 12 points. One national analysis showed that Dougco is the top-ranked large school district in the state of Colorado — better than Denver, better than Boulder, better than Littleton, Jefferson County and even Cherry Creek. Those are the facts. And we want the state of Colorado to know. What we have in the Douglas County School District is special — that’s the truth that no big union lie can obscure. Randy Reed, a local business owner, runs the Douglas County Education Alliance, an organization promoting public school innovation in Douglas County.
‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is about accountability Probably one of the most recognized, overused, and abused break-up lines of all time, “It’s not you, it’s me.” For all of the Seinfeld fans out there, you will recall that in one episode Jason Alexander’s character, George Costanza, actually claimed that he invented this break-up maneuver when one of his love interests used the very same line on him when trying to end the relationship. And I know that many people still use this line or tactic to end relationships or let others down easy, or maybe both. I like the line for a different reason. Forgetting the overused and abused relationship and break-up analogy for a moment, how often have we used the very same line when deflecting blame for something we have done or have not done? Do we take accountability and own it, “It’s not you, it’s me?” Or do we reverse it and place the problem squarely on someone else, “It’s not me, it’s you?” I much prefer the original version, “It’s not you, it’s me.” Personal accountability is the first rung on the ladder of success. And it is not just when something has gone horribly wrong or where there is an opportunity to place or accept blame, it is also true when given an opportunity or challenge to tackle a big project or task. Strong leaders use this tactic all the time. And they use it in a couple of ways, one to lead by example and the other to give a team member a
chance to step up and demonstrate a competency or capability. In the example of leading by example or leading from the front, a good manager or leader may recognize that there is an opportunity for a teaching moment and they jump in and say, “Wait a minute, it’s not your turn yet, let me demonstrate this for you one more time, OK?” And then they show their employee or team member the proper way to execute a specific job or function. Especially when there could be a safety concern. And conversely, the employee may feel that they are ready to demonstrate their readiness and capabilities and use the very same line, “I’ve got this boss, it’s not you, it’s my turn.” And so the strong leader allows their team member to try. This is another teaching moment, just moving from the “doing” of everything for everyone, to “giving” an opportunity to learn and grow.
But even if we do reverse it, “It’s not me, it’s you,” this too can be used when a coach or leader calls upon an employee or team member to step up because they know that they are ready to give something a shot. “It’s not me this time, it’s you, it’s a big project but I am confident you can handle it.” Both situations allow for growth, ownership, success, and building a solid foundation to build upon. It’s only in times of blame or difficulties when we reverse the line and fall back on the comfortable crutch of “It’s not me,
it’s you,” that we stifle growth in ourselves and others as we deflect ownership and accountability. How have you used the line? Is it you? Or is it someone else? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and let’s make this a better than good week.

ManCaves coming to Centennial site Vacant lot to house new dude-centric development By Deborah Grigsby
dgrigsby@ourcolorado news.com A three-acre vacant lot across from the Denver Broncos training facility will soon be the home to ManCaves, an industrial condolike development designed to give guys — and gals — more room for their stuff. The concept came about through developer Matt Mullin’s frustration with finding adequate space to work on his car. “Storage units were too small and of course, a warehouse was too big, and retail space is too expensive and comes with restrictions,” said Mullin from his home in Park City, Utah. “I needed something in between.”

Mullin and his partners hope to create more than just a place to store cars, RVs and boats. Mullin said he hopes the design will also foster a sense of community with the 64-unit, 60,000-square-foot facility. “There will be a common lounge and other amenities,” he said. “We hope the concept will bring together people of similar interests and the best part is, it’s not a place you rent. You own it.” Units run about 450 square feet and are priced at $55,000, plus an annual owners’ association fee. Each man cave will come with ample power outlets, concrete floors and stainless steel walls, fully customizable. Man Caves is located at 13303 E. Adam Aircraft Circle, near Broncos Parkway.

By the time the new water treatment plant off Hess Road opens in 2015, the reservoir will contain 15,000 to 20,000 acre-feet. It has the capacity for 72,000 acre-feet. An acre-foot, depending on the region and conservation efforts, is generally enough to serve a family of four for a year.

Engel, a former Douglas County teacher, spoke at Highlands Ranch’s Westridge Recreation Center about her concerns for the future of public education. About 50 people, most of them Douglas County teachers, came to hear her speak. In her book, “Seeds of Tomorrow: Solutions for Improving our Children’s Education,” Engel argues against high-stakes testing like the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) and for a childcentered approach to education. She calls the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which links federal funding to standardized testing, a “corrupt and damaging policy.” “We’re starting to recognize high-stakes testing is a huge mistake,” she said. “Standards are an adult construct. When we impose our ways of learning and knowing, we rob (children) of discovering their own way of learning and knowing.” The act also requires states to provide highly qualified teachers to all students.
That sets up teachers in poorer geographic areas to fail, as they try to hit high marks teaching students from disadvantaged socio-economic homes, Engel argues. “They now are going to be slammed as under-performing teachers,” she said. Engel believes the impetus for education reform stems from faulty research and an inaccurate perception that the American education system is failing. Douglas County, she said, is “the test case” for education reform. “It’s important that we not assign blame but we really become aware of who the players are,” she said. “This is a battle that needs to be fought. It’s for our children. It’s not a Republican/Democrat issue. We just keep re-inventing the wheel; only the wheel keeps getting worse, and more expensive. “This reform movement is going to fail. It might take a long time. (But) there’s no evidence to support measuring learning improves education.” Education activist Peggy Robertson, next

Two charters receive conditional approval
ed at Cirkway. n on -sale aves. 83.
Elementaries both plan focus on foreign language By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two elementary charter schools that focus on teaching foreign languages gained conditional approval June 18 to open their doors in Douglas County. The World Compass Academy, negotiating now for property in Castle Rock, plans to open for the 2014-15 school year. Global Village Academy, seeking land in northeast Douglas County for its fifth Colorado site, would follow a year later. The Douglas County School Board gave both conditional approval, and the schools still must meet several requirements — including enrollment of a minimum number of students and hiring principals — before getting a final nod.
World Compass and Global Village were among six charters that submitted letters of intent to DCSD in March. The others — including John Adams High School, Parker Performing Arts School and Colorado Early Colleges high school — chose not to move forward this year or failed to meet district criteria, according to DCSD’s development and innovation officer, Pat McGraw. Students at Global Village Academy, which opened in Aurora in 2007, spend at least half of each day immersed in Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, French or German. Global Village opened a Northglenn campus two years ago, and this fall will open schools in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. Douglas County was a natural choice for its fifth campus, CEO Christina Howe said. “We have had up to 55 students coming from Parker to our Aurora campus and there have been multiple-year requests to
please open a school in Douglas County,” she said. “We do consider ourselves part of the portfolio of school choice the district is offering.” Howe said typical language programs teach students to “train and menu” proficiency levels, giving them enough mastery to travel by train or order from a menu in a foreign country. By eighth grade, Howe said, Global Village students’ foreign language skills are equivalent to a first-year high school student in the language’s native country. Global Village seeks land along the Interstate 25 corridor, likely on its east side. World Compass Academy, founded by a former Douglas County teacher, will include early foreign language education in French, Mandarin and Spanish and a research-based curriculum its website describes as challenging. Bethany Merkling taught at a charter school in Utah and at DCSD’s American
Academy. Now a stay-at-home mom, Merkling said she found long waiting lists at area charter schools. “I wanted to make sure (my kids) had the opportunity to have the best education they possibly could, and to be able to learn a foreign language in kindergarten,” Merkling said. “I studied in France, and I’ve got some really strong ideas. I want to take the best from all the schools I attended.” World Compass board members include natives of Switzerland, Hong Kong and Thailand among others, bringing the international viewpoints Merkling sees as key to the school’s success. The school will serve pre-K through fourth grades upon its opening, adding a grade level annually to eventually become a K-8 school. To date, more than 200 parents have submitted intent-to-enroll forms for World Compass, Merkling said.

Aid for working poor falls short State’s funding model puts many in a bind By Burt Hubbard I-News
2013 Best of the Best
Photo Challenge
The measures passed by Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996 “to end welfare as we know it” were heralded as a ticket to economic self-sufficiency. The poor would be encouraged to enter the workforce and eventually leave all welfare assistance behind. But for most of the tens of thousands of working poor families in Colorado, the vision of self-sufficiency is illusive. One of the most significant components of the work support programs — child-care assistance — doesn’t reach about threefourths of the state’s working poor and generally fails the other fourth’s attempt to escape poverty, according to an I-News analysis of state data, census figures and Colorado-specific research reports, as well as interviews with benefit recipients, policy experts and government officials. The I-News inquiry found: Working families can fall prey to the “cliff effect,” in which even a modest rise in family income can lead to termination of a government benefit, including subsidized child care, worth thousands of dollars a year. The family can suffer a big net loss by earning more. Colorado is the only state that allows counties to set income levels for eligibility for child-care assistance, or CCAP, the biggest work support program. The state’s system has created broad inequities in what families can earn before losing child care. Most experts say higher education is essential to rising out of poverty. Yet, 11 counties don’t give child-care help to parents attending college. A parent in Boulder County can get child-care subsidies to attend the University of Colorado, but a Larimer County parent gets no help to attend Colorado State University. Families facing the cliff effect report
having employed strategies such as turning down raises, promotions or passing on better jobs to avoid losing an essential benefit. Proposed reforms center on phasing out payments gradually as family incomes rise toward self-sufficiency. Yet, when Colorado lawmakers twice tried to require counties to phase out child-care benefits, the proposals were watered down after lobbying by Colorado counties to make them voluntary. There are more than 63,000 working families in Colorado earning 130 percent of poverty-level income or less, about $25,000 per year, according to the I-News analysis. In 2012, according to state figures, CCAP served about 31,000 of the almost 137,000 children in those families — “a pittance,” in the words of one state senator. “The reason the cliff effect matters, and the reason it matters to all of us in society, is that we want to provide the opportunity for these families to get into the workforce, to stay working, to reach self-sufficiency, to get ahead,” said Rich Jones, director of research at Bell Policy Center in Denver, a self-described progressive think tank. “That’s the whole design. By keeping the cliff effect, by keeping the barriers in place, we’re actually providing a disincentive to continue working.” For many poor working families who receive work supports, the cliff effect isn’t an issue. They don’t earn enough to trip the loss of benefits. The real threat of the cliff effect is to those close to self-sufficiency. “A fraction of these folks can actually make it work,” said Susan Roll, a California professor who did her doctoral thesis at the University of Denver on the cliff effect. “It is very difficult to be on these programs and it is certainly next to impossible to escape the programs.” The work support benefits can include child-care assistance, food stamps, housing assistance, assistance with energy bills and Medicaid, among others. The steepest cliff in the state is posed by the child-care assistance program, experts say. Even a raise of $1 hour per hour, which would translate into roughly $2,000 a year

for a full-time employee, could trigger the termination of the benefit worth $6,000 or $8,000 per year or more to the family, and might even impact the parent’s ability to work. “I would say the cliff effect is the No. 1 reason preventing women and their families from achieving self-sufficiency,” said Lorena Garcia, executive director of Denver-based COLOR, which works with young women trying to escape poverty. Academic researchers and county social workers all said they have seen families forgo raises or promotions so they didn’t lose child-care benefits. “It’s frustrating to hear their stories,” said Tamara Schmidt, supervisor of the child-care assistance program in Larimer County. “To have them calling in tears because they’re over income by 10 cents (an hour). I mean, there’s really not a whole lot of wiggle room.” Self-sufficiency is pegged by most studies at about 225 percent of the federal poverty guideline, or about $44,000 annually for a family of three. That number comes particularly into play in Colorado’s county system for setting income limits for child-care assistance. The limit for a family of three ranges from $25,000, or 130 percent of poverty, to $44,000, 225 percent of poverty. And these vast disparities exist next door to each other. For example, in southeastern Colorado, Prowers County cuts off child care at $25,000 for a three-person family, while adjacent Bent and Kiowa counties allow up to $44,000. A 2008 state audit found that more than 1,000 families denied child-care assistance because their incomes were too high would have qualified in a neighboring county. Higher education is another touchstone in the debate over Colorado’s county system. “Post-secondary education, especially for single-parent households, is critical as far as financial security, social mobility, all of those things,” said state Sen. John Kefalas, D-Fort Collins.
That Larimer County doesn’t allow higher education as an eligible activity ultimately comes down to a matter of resources, officials said. “We had to make the choice to serve the poorest of the poor,” said Laura Sartor of Larimer County Human Services. “It was very difficult. It was a very hard choice to make. We did a lot of research and a lot of statistics in determining who we could and couldn’t serve. And unfortunately the student population was one of the populations that were an option, so we had to eliminate them and not be able to cover child care anymore.” Many counties change eligibility levels as budgets and caseloads rise and fall. El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark, a Republican, said it’s critical that these decisions be made at the close-to-the-ground county level. El Paso recently raised its level to 150 percent of poverty, but allows recipients, once approved, to stay with the program up to 165 percent. Colorado Counties Inc., the lobbying organization for the state’s 64 counties, has twice lobbied against legislation requiring the counties to phase out child-care assistance to counter the cliff effect. Each time, the counties lobbied successfully to make the proposals voluntary. The 2012 bill called for a 10-county pilot project to test phasing out the benefit. So, far no county has volunteered. Clark said requiring counties to phase out the benefit would be too costly. But Kefalas, the Fort Collins Democrat, said there would be benefits in embracing reform. “In my opinion, if we make these investments up front, we’re going to save an awful lot of money for the taxpayer in terms of public assistance programs, in terms of dealing with the criminal justice system,and the research bears that out,” he said.

‘What we’re trying to do is help minimize the impact of the disease, trying to make them feel better for a longer period of time until we find that next magic bullet.’
By Jane reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com
Douglas County School Board Vice President Dan Gerken resigned the week of Jan. 7, and already has stepped down from his seat. He cited growing family and work obligations. Board President John Carson said the group will begin the process of finding his replacement during the Jan. 15 board meeting. Gerken was elected to the board in 2009, and his term was set to expire in November. He did not return calls for comment, Gerken but Carson said there is no mystery surrounding his resignation from the education reform-focused board. “We depend on people being willing to take a lot of time out of their lives and work and families to do this,” he said, noting board members invest at least 20 hours a month to the unpaid post. “Dan has served selflessly in that capacity for over three years now. I greatly appreciate what he’s done for our school district.” Carson said Gerken first approached him about resigning shortly after the new year. “I tried to talk him out of (resigning), but he made his decision,” he said. Though the board has often been criticized for its fast-paced reform efforts, Carson said he doesn’t believe that was a factor in Gerken’s resignation. “If you run for office, you have to be prepared for that,” he said. “Speaking for myself, the reason I got involved in public education was to make some changes in public education that I think have been needed for a long time. I know Dan felt that way as well.” In seven years on the board, Carson said this is the fourth vacancy filled by appointment. “It’s not an infrequent occurrence,” he said. The board has 60 days to fill the empty seat. Any candidate must live in Gerken’s district — District D — which extends from Castle Pines to the southeast corner of the county. Potential school board candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a 12-month resident and registered voter of the district, and have no direct or indirect interest in district contracts. All current school board members are registered Republicans, but the office is officially nonpartisan. “We’re just looking for people that are interested in improving public education, continuing to make our school district the best, and keep making it stronger,” Carson said. Gerken, a father of two, lives in Castle Pines with his wife, Gina. He is chairman and co-founder of Gerken Taxman Inter-

Coral gets collaborative Crochet project on display in ‘Spun’ exhibit at DAM By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Spun,” the textile-focused menu of exhibits at the Denver Art Museum, includes the Institute For Figuring’s charming, mostly colorful, Crochet Coral Reef Project. The little sculptural clusters are displayed on pedestals in both the Hamilton and the North buildings, leading the way from one gallery to the next. Sisters Christine and Margaret Wertheim, who grew up in Australia, conscious of the coral reefs along the coast and concerned about their fragility, started the IFF in 2005. The organization is now located in Los Angeles. The IFF has about 40 contributors worldwide and has helped to raise concern about these endangered organisms. The Wertheims have crocheted about half of the pieces themselves and curated the collection as it grew. See how many cases you can locate throughout the museum. Look for the tiny

critters that inhabit the reefs. The inspiration came from “hyperbolic crochet,” discovered in 1997 by Cornell University mathematician Daina Taimina, according to the IFF website. The If you Go Wertheim sisters adopted Taimina’s The Crochet Coral Reef techniques and Project will be exhibelaborated on them ited at the Denver Art “to develop a whole Museum through Sept. taxonomy of reef21, with the rest of the life forms.” Loopy “SPUN” exhibits. See “kelps,” fringed denverartmuseum.org “anemones,” crenfor more information. elated “sea slugs” Covered by general and curlicued “coradmission. als” have all been modeled with these methods.” Jenna Madison of the DAM Education Department said this is the largest collaborative art project in the world. It has been exhibited in many venues. “It came on our radar screen and we thought, wouldn’t it be great to have it here for SPUN,” Madison said. “So emails and calls went back and forth, as arrangements fell into place. Including this very contemporary work seems especially appropriate, especially since local crafters are now involved.” She said that Christine Wertheim has a fine arts background and Margaret is
a scientist. A standard ingredient in the crocheted Coral Reef exhibits is a Satellite Coral Reef by local artists, and Denver’s version is underway in a special space where local craftsmen appear on Saturdays and Sundays to add to the project. It will grow through the summer. Christine Wertheim came to Denver to train the educational department and other area artists so they could, in turn, help the community crocheters get started. “It’s growing beautifully,” Madison said. People also work at home and bring in pieces. “It’s open to anyone.” It will be arranged and rearranged as more pieces come in. When the show closes in late September, the Satellite Coral Reef will be harvested and pieces given to museum visitors. Note especially the bleached coral in the lobby of the Hamilton Building, a collective work by many IFF contributors, crocheted in white and off-white yarns to illustrate what happens to coral under environmental stress. The color in coral comes from tiny microorganisms, zooanthellae, that live within the polyps. When environmental toxins or rising water temperatures stress corals, the polyps expel the zooanthellae, which they need for long-term survival. In August, the local Ladies Handiwork Society will be creating a garden in the North Building complete with critters and surprise moments.
Cherry Hills Country Club General Manager Kevin Hood, who saved a man’s life earlier this year, recently received the Metropolitan Golf Writers Association’s Mary Bea Porter Award. The honor was bestowed at the MGWA’s 62nd national awards dinner June 18 in Tarrytown, N.Y. Hood was honored for saving the life of Cherry Hills member John Moore. Responding to a “code blue” call on Jan. 29, Hood administered CPR to the 87-year-old Moore, who had fallen and hit his head, causing his tongue to block his airway. Hood performed chest compressions and other life-saving measures. After a 10-day hospital stay, Moore recovered and returned to Cherry Hills to enjoy his club membership. Colorado Avid Golfer magazine first reported the news. The award is named for Mary Bea Porter, a former LPGA Tour pro who left the course in the middle of a qualifying round of the 1988 Samaritan Turquoise Classic in Phoenix to save a drowning 3-year-old boy at a home adjacent to a fairway. Hood, 52, is in his eighth year at Cherry Hills. He was a starting linebacker at the University of Colorado and former pro football player with the Denver Gold of the USFL.

Peak 7 Vodka a big hit
Denver’s own Peak 7 Vodka made a splash recently into the Colorado microspirits market. The seven-time distilled Peak 7, made at Mile High Distillery, comes onto the scene on the heels of a medalwinning performance at the 2013 Denver International Spirits Contest March 2 and 3. Twelve prominent spirits professionals judged the double-blind tasting, and Peak 7 Vodka was awarded a bronze for best vodka. “We are Colorado people who want to make a vodka that reflects the culture and vibrancy of Denver and the Rocky Mountains,” said Peak 7 co-founder Dave Collier. “We think Colorado’s the best place on earth you can live, and the best place on earth to make great vodka.” Peak 7 Vodka is currently available at Mondo Vino in Denver’s Highland Parker continues on Page 28

Mastering two wheels a treat L Camp teaches kids with challenges to ride bicycles By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcolorado news.com For the past four years, 8-year-old Ryan Laughlin of Highlands Ranch had been working his way up to riding a two-wheel bike without any help. Ryan, who is challenged with a condition called dyspraxia — a neurological disorder in which his brain has difficulty communicating muscle movement with his body — accomplished that goal last week. One of 40 campers at the iCan Bike Camp, hosted by the Highlands Ranch Community Association’s Therapeutic Recreation Program, Ryan finally put it all together, mastering the skill in the middle of an actionfilled week. “It’s pretty awesome,” he said with a smile, “and really sweaty.” Ryan’s mother, Leigh Laughlin, first learned of the iCan Bike program — formerly known as Lose the Training Wheels — when Ryan was 4, and ever since has worked step for step with him on stationary and glider bikes, helping to prepare him for the camp that teaches mentally and physi-

Local boy makes really good Curtain LHS grad got big break writing for ‘Miami Vice’ By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com From Littleton to Stanford to “Miami Vice” to Alcatraz is not the usual route to becoming an author living in Los Angeles, but it worked for Daniel Pyne. “I never expected to be successful,” he said while in town visiting his sister, Susan Pyne, on June 20. “I did everything I needed to do to be successful, but if I wasn’t, I would have still done it all.” In his case, “all” is a lot. Pyne, the son of Charles and Barbara Pyne, got his dramatic start on the stage of Arapahoe High School as a sixth-grader at East Elementary School. He played Wilbur in “Inherit the Wind.” “It was the beginning and end of my acting career,” he said. “The whole reason I write is to be behind the camera.” He went on to Euclid Middle School and graduated from Littleton High School in 1973. “I had kind of a love/hate relationship with Littleton,” he said. During his visit, he took a trip down memory lane, otherwise known as Broadway. “There’s this weird ghostly overlay of what used to be there, and yet a lot of it looks nothing like I remember,” he said. “But in a way, it was great preparation for what I do. It exposed me to a combination of a classic, conservative Midwestern world and a kind of more modern, suburban, urban experience. I feel like it bridged this gap of old America and new America.” As a kid, he wrote for the school
paper and dabbled in cartoons, but prose remained his first love. “I loved putting words together,” he said. “Writing, for me, was more than just storytelling. … I love the lyrical part of writing.” He recalls one Mr. Pickering, AP English teacher, as being the first person to encourage him to pursue writing. But his father, a sculptor, was skeptical. “As a struggling artist, my dad didn’t want me to go into art,” said Pyne. “He didn’t know anything about economics, so to him that sounded like a practical field.” Pyne So off to Stanford he went with a compromise — he studied economics and creative writing. He graduated in three years and set off to find his true calling. At one point he thought he could make money writing by being a reporter. “I was a terrible reporter,” he said. “I only liked the writing part, so I was tempted to make stuff up.” Next he tried selling his short stories, without much success. Next up: film school. “I thought maybe I could write movies to support myself while I got to be a better writer,” he said. “But it wasn’t like cocktail waitressing. It wasn’t just something to do while you’re waiting for something else.” So he headed for L.A., where he realized not everyone has the same “boom or bust” mentality as Coloradans. “Other people think sequentially,” he said. “They think you build a career rather than just have one.” He found work as a story editor on the “Matt Houston” series in 1983.

DanieL Pyne’s work Daniel Pyne worked on these, and more, in various capacities:
Film and television • Alcatraz (executive producer) (2012) • Fracture (2007) • The Manchurian Candidate (2004) • The Sum of All Fears (2002) • Any Given Sunday (1999) • 68 (1999) • Where’s Marlowe? (1998) • Doc Hollywood (1991) • Pacific Heights (1990) • Miami Vice (1984-1988) • Matt Houston (1983-1985) novels • Twentynine Palms • A Hole in the Ground Owned by a Liar • Fifty Mice
next gig was writing the first episode after the pilot of “Miami Vice,” and things took off from there. He worked on several more crime shows and films, his favorite genre, as evidenced by his three novels. “Everything is a mystery,” he said. “I’m really interested in the struggle for identity.” That interest comes from Littleton, as well. He recalls living in his nice, happy suburban home but noticing the couple in the duplex down the street who were always fighting. “I was always looking for those weird perversions of the dream,” he said.

Bluffs loved by developers, residents View corridors preserved around new housing projects, Lone Tree says By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Acres Green resident Paul Veal and his two dogs walk the trails in and around Lone Tree’s Bluffs Regional Park through sun, snow, thunderstorms and, of late, construction. Lots of construction. RidgeGate’s west side is nearing completion with a roar of activity, most of it along the bluffs Veal and others hold precious. Cabela’s and the commercial sites that adjoin it, the Montecito and NorthSky neighborhoods all are under construction along the bluffs. To make way for the projects and stabilize the land, developers on the three adjacent sites cut into the hillsides. City officials said developers can only build to specific heights, a restriction designed to preserve view corridors. But to Veal, the views already are spoiled. “They completely destroyed the mountain behind the (Lone Tree) rec center for the homes, and the bluff on the other side to put Cabela’s there,” he said. “I’m not an environmentalist. But at the same time, I’m vested in that walk up there and the wildlife. When’s it going to stop?” Veal fears the impact on the animals he sees there, which include lizards, deer and in May, a mountain lion. “Every time I go up there, I see something new,” he said. I think those animals are going to split. I think it’s going to take a lot away from what people are seeing and finding up there.” City officials say development won’t extend much farther up the bluffs than it already has. The work they did to keep the visual impacts as minimal as possible was painstaking and detailed, including photo simulations that showed Montecito
Construction continues at Montecito, a development of 142 large, high-end homes on RidgeGate Parkway just east of Interstate 25. Photo by Jane Reuter rooftops stopping about halfway up the bluffs, Lone Tree Community Development Director Steve Hebert said. The 2000 city vote to annex the RidgeGate property was fueled in large part by a desire to protect the bluffs. The 250-acre Bluffs Regional Park is a Douglas County open space. Its loop trail includes connections to the East-West Regional Trail, South Suburban Parks and Recreation and Highlands Ranch trail systems. But, Hebert noted, “There is such a thing as private property rights. Coventry

for many years worked with the county to get development rights up and around the bluffs, along the bluffs and below the bluffs.” Because those rights are in place, Lone Tree can’t stop development. Like Veal, Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Millet is a frequent bluffs visitor. “I appreciate the concerns and I share the concern,” said Millet, who walks the bluffs trails about five times a week. “But I think precautions were taken to respect the rights of the developer but preserve that natural beauty of our community.” RidgeGate developers did not return calls requesting comment. NorthSky, a 33-home development that recently broke ground on Crossington Way, isn’t the last bluffs development. Another nearly 50-home development is depicted on RidgeGate documents in the ravine south of Cabela’s and west of the East-West Regional Trail. While those homes won’t be as visible as Montecito or NorthSky, they will change the experience

for trail users. “The city will obviously make sure these homes will be aesthetically attractive with good buffer areas,” Millet said. RidgeGate’s property includes another parcel, with space for about 10 large homes, east of McArthur Ranch. Access and infrastructure to those bluff-top sites hasn’t been determined, Millet said. Those homes might be visible from McArthur Ranch, but not from Lone Tree, she said. The bluffs were a selling point for Charles Schwab in its decision to build a corporate campus in Lone Tree, as well as the Hampden Inn, Millet said. Cabela’s already touts the county’s East-West Trail among the amenities of its soon-to-open RidgeGate Parkway store. “The bluffs are the most well-loved, treasured place in the Lone Tree community,” Millet said. “I would say majority of our residents spend part of their week up there. It’s very important to me and all of council to make sure it’s protected.”

represents the $150,000 fundraising goal to buy four new digital film projectors — as Hollywood transitions to an all-digital format — for the DFS’ Sie FilmCenter, The Ellie Caulkins (home of the Starz Denver Film Festival) and Red Rocks for the Film on the Rocks summer series. The total amount needed is $300,000 for the projectors for the Sie Film Center and Red Rocks Amphitheatre. To spur cash donations, DFS honcho Britta “The Jesus” Erickson stars in a three-minute promotional video spoofing the John Turturro role in the 1998 cult film “The Big Lebowski” with supporting actors stand-up comedian Chuck Roy and Will Morris, a manager at the Sie FilmCenter. Erickson, complete with bowling shoes and a hairnet, licks the red bowling ball and bowls what looks like a guaranteed gutter ball, but the scene is cut before the ball reaches its destination. Meanwhile Roy and Morris drink beer, look on and hurl comments such as “you crossed the line!” That’s the whole idea. The DFS donation website — www.kickstarter.com/projects/1728212872/secure-the-futureof-the-denver-film-society?ref=live — will remain live through June 28. With eight days to go, more than $84,000 was pledged. If you donate a minimum of $25 and the DFS reaches its $150,000 goal, backers will be treated to a special screening of “The Big Lebowski” on July 31 at Red Rocks.

7-on-7 helps tune up teams Chaparral, Vista both seeking starting QBs for next season By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Summer 7-on-7 scrimmages are a little like reality television shows with unscripted situations and events. The touch football competition using quarterbacks, receivers, linebackers and defensive backs doesn’t reflect the reality of a real football game, but the competitive venues help players to sharpen throws, refine passing routes and polish coverage techniques. “This is where everybody gets to see their mistakes,” said Chaparral quarterback Kyle Gallup. “What we take from here, we take back to school, work on it and fit it for August when practice starts. We can’t have the mistakes we have out here when it comes to game time because there is no forgiveness then.” Chaparral and Mountain Vista were two of the 64 teams from all classifications that participated in the annual Denver Broncos 7-on-7 tournament June 19-22 at All-City Stadium and Dove Valley. Both Continental League teams are seeking a starting quarterback for next season. Gallup and Cole Lehman, both juniors, are the leading contenders to replace Chaparral quarterback Max Kuhns, who threw for 2,401 yards and 25 touchdowns with a .654 completion percentage last season. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Gallup has more experience. He has logged 20 games on the junior varsity teams the past two seasons and was Kuhns’ backup during the 2012 campaign.
Chaparral coach John Vogt shouts instructions to his team June 22 during a 7-on-7 game against Discovery Canyon. Photo by Jim Benton He played in five varsity games, completed five of nine passes for 109 yards and was the Wolverines’ quarterback last summer in 7-on-7 games because of Kuhns’ baseball commitments. Lehman, 6-1, 170 pounds, has seen JV action. “Max was a great quarterback and a guy we both looked up to,” said Gallup. “I got to see last season how different the varsity is from JV and the speed change. I feel like I’m ready to play. We have battles going on for all positions and there is still a lot of learn before the season starts. This is just helping us along the way.”
Gallup knows that success in 7-on-7 games doesn’t translate to games once the high school season begins. In 7-on-7 competition, there are no big linemen or blitzing linebackers putting pressure on the quarterback, and receivers don’t worry about holding onto the ball after absorbing a hard hit. The only stress is to get the pass off in four seconds or 4.5 seconds if it is a rollout pass. “The pressure isn’t the same,” admitted Gallup. “The pressure on the quarterback and people that get the ball isn’t the same. It’s a lot calmer, you have time. It is really good for quarterbacks and receivers recognizing coverages, seeing how well you go
against one-on-ones and how we throw the ball against a regular defense.” In five games in the Broncos tournament, Gallup threw 19 touchdowns passes and Lehman had eight scoring throws. Brandon Malone, Chaparral’s premier basketball player who was a big-play receiver last season, averaging 18.1 yards per catch, hauled in many of those TD pitches. Chaparral advanced to the 16-team single-elimination finals June 22 and beat Brighton before losing to Discovery Canyon when a potential Wolverines winning pass was dropped in the end zone with three seconds remaining. “Both quarterbacks are going to be good,” said Malone. “You can’t doubt your quarterback. Chaparral coach John Vogt likes what he has seen. “We’re about where we are every year,” he said. “Two years ago Max was new. Last year Kyle did it all because Max was playing baseball in the summer. He has experience and he’s going to be fine. Cole has had JV experience. He’s been a late bloomer. He’s one of those kids that is developing. “We’ve had some receivers step up. Brandon Malone is what he is and the other kids have stepped up. Nolan Ellis, Mitch Ross and those guys have been good. The kids know what to do and they make plays. There have been a lot of good guys come before them, so that is kind of the expectation. That’s a program deal.” Mountain Vista quarterback Ryan Rubley, who passed for 1,681 yards last season, has graduated and will continue playing at the University of Tulsa, so the Golden Eagles are looking for the next starting quarterback with senior Josh York and junior Brock Rubley, Ryan’s brother, battling for the job.

Referee is calm in eye of tennis storm Parker resident has 18 years of experience By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com People have yelled and sent dirty spiteful letters to Patti Bowman, but she claims that it’s just part of the job. She isn’t referring to the specialty advertising business she has with her husband Richard. Bowman was talking about her part-time job as a tennis referee. Bowman, a resident of the Pinery in Parker, has been a referee with the Colorado Tennis Umpires Association for the past 18 years and works college, junior, Colorado Tennis Association and Special Olympics tournament. She recently worked June 15-
23 at Denver City Open at the Denver Tennis Club. “I don’t do it for the money,” said Bowman, who earns $100 for an eight-hour shift. “It’s kind of in my backbone, as they say. I just really enjoy it. It’s a long season, there are a lot of hours. We are sometimes on our feet 10-12 hours a day, four or five days in a row. Once I’m here, I love watching.” Bowman, 58, is a former racquetball player who migrated to tennis. “I started playing tennis when I was 40,” Bowman said. “I played off and on recreationally. In racquetball, I competed a lot. So I thought I’d better learn the rules of tennis. I attended class because I didn’t want to Referee continues on Page 30

York, 6-1, 195, was Ryan Rubley’s backup in 2012 but didn’t throw a pass in varsity action. “Seven-on-7 is a great option,” said Mountain Vista coach Ric Cash. “It’s not real football, necessarily, but it is a situation where we are getting the reps, you can work on timing and other things. Even though it’s not what you would call real football, it is a great opportunity for us to get some work done. You get to see a lot of different situa-

play in any women’s leagues and not know the rules. One of the hardest things was learning the rules. “I looked into refereeing and joined the (umpires’) organization and they started booking me.” Referees in tennis ensure competition is fair under International Tennis Federation rules. Referees have the final say in questions of tennis law, help directors with tournament draws, suspend play because of weather and other conditions, reside over medical timeouts and control the conduct of players, coaches and spectators. “Any kind of tournament should have a head referee,” explained Bowman. “ When I do the state in September at Gates, we have three because they have a lot more courts and they are spread out. “As the head referee I have to be in charge of helping the tournament director set up the brackets, because everything falls on my shoulders. If somebody is late, I put the clock on them, there are penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct and the defaults are all on the referee. The final decisions are all on our shoulders. Sometimes they are not real fun, but we have to do it.” In tournaments like the Denver City Open, which Bowman worked with a deputy referee, most of the courts are easily visible, so matches can be watched. Until the finals, players make line calls, which can lead to disputes. “I’m on the mentoring committee and we train as much as we can,” said Bowman. “So I exaggerate to not let it escalate. We are there but we shouldn’t be intrusive. We should be visible so they are more conscious about line calls, don’t have any discussions with the player, be civil and call them if you see them. “You’ve got to know the rules, you have to be firm and call them like you see them. You have to be unbiased, yet you have to be
tions and scenarios. “Josh and Brock are going to battle it out all summer and in the preseason. We can’t make any decisions based on 7-on-7.” Whoever is selected as the starting quarterback will have some support returning with Rocco Palumbo, an all-league receiver who caught 43 passes last season, and running back Tanner Smith, who averaged 127.3 yards a game rushing. “Having Rocco back helps,” said Cash. “He needs to be patient as the quarterbacks learn the ropes. It also helps to have Tanner Smith coming back. It helps to have an allleague running back to lighten the load on the quarterbacks.”
a friend, you’re there to help. I always get a lot of questions. People come up to me and say, `I have a question for you, this happened to me last night.’ I like to document and give the person a reference just to make sure they know what I’m talking about.” Bowman, who also doubles sometimes as a chair umpire, roved around the Denver Tennis Club facility checking on matches. “The players know who I am,” said Bowman. “The players know what I will tolerate. I will call foot faults, behavior and cautions. I could be walking down this way and somebody will cuss. I’ll walk over to the fence and give them a real dirty look and they’ll say `sorry about that.’ Bowman is used to verbal abuse from players and spectators. Some of the worst offenders are parents and college coaches. “You are always going to get yelled at,” she said. “I get dirty letters. I’ve seen players get out of control. A lot of times they will see an official on the court and they will watch themselves. If there is a scoring dispute, I’ll call them to the net. I’ll casually walk over because a lot of times they will work it out themselves if I give them a little time. “I’ll get yelled at, I’ll just call the score out and say serve it up. Some balls are way in or out and you have to call it. They (the players) are going to be in denial and blame you. They are going to blame the official for losing. I’ll just say the ball was out, serve it up. One more word and you’re out of here. “I get players that come up and kid me, `remember when you called this.’ We’re here to help. The last six or seven years maybe more players seem to feel at ease with us on the court.” Bowman recalls that a few years ago, one avid tennis player used to get upset with his opponents and was eventually suspended by the Colorado Tennis Association for repeated code violations. “When he came back and started playing again, he would warm up and then come get me to bring him to the court,” said Bowman. “He knew I wouldn’t tolerate his bad behavior and he kept calm. He would get me so I would keep him calm.”

The unions say that teachers are fleeing douglas county, but the numbers tell a different story! The AFL-CIO is smearing DougCo Schools. Why? Last year, the district stopped paying the salaries of union executives and stopped allowing unions to skim teachers’ salaries for political campaigns. And now they’re mad. The unions want the money back. Their latest charge - teachers are fleeing DougCo in large numbers. But check the facts. A handful of union-backed teachers did announce they’re leaving DougCo, most to go teach in pro-union districts. Still, DougCo has a teacher retention rate of 87%, better than the state average, even better than union-friendly districts like Aspen and Denver. Cherry Creek has more teacher vacancies than DougCo Schools.
DougCo Schools are #1. Don’t believe the union hype! www.studentsnotunions.com
