MY NAME IS

NEWS IN A HURRY

APRIL MCCAFFREY

We love working and living in the Castle Rock area, because it is a friendly, small community. We run into people we know all over town. And, although Castle Rock has grown so much since we moved here, I still think of it as a small community.

Castle Rock woman helps run restaurant chain About me I am a native Coloradan, but I also went to high school and college in Ames, Iowa. I graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in hospitality management. When I graduated from college, I moved back to Colorado and went straight to the mountains. I lived and worked in Summit County, where I met my husband, Mike. He was a waiter and I was a hostess at a Keystone Resort restaurant. We lived in Summit County for 10 years where we got married and had our first daughter Lea. When Lea was born, we decided to move to “town” and that’s when we took over Angie’s in Castle Rock. A family business Angie’s Restaurants were started in Denver in 1965 by Mike’s dad, Mike McCaffrey Sr. He opened the Castle Rock Angie’s in 1998. There is currently another Angie’s location in Littleton, owned by Mike’s

brother Chris and sister-in-law Jen. Angie’s serves Italian and Mexican, a very popular combination in the Denver area. Our specialty is our homemade spaghetti noodles, sauce and meatballs. Some of the things we are most proud of at Angie’s are that we have employees who have been with us for over 15 years, and even more importantly, customers who have been coming into Angie’s since we opened. I remember some of our current employees coming in as babies. We have made so many good friends over the years.

My hobbies Outside of work, I am very busy with my two very active teenage girls, Lea and Emma. They are high school students at Rock Canyon High School and keep me busy with their dance and cheer schedules. We like to camp, hike and ski as a family, and as much as possible, we like to travel. Beach vacations are our favorite. My advice We hope to be in Castle Rock for many more years to come! As the owner and operators of Angie’s we work hard to provide a great place to dine, and work. You’ll find one of us at the restaurant most of the time. And, having worked in the hospitality industry most of my life, I live by the rule “treat people the way you want to be treated.” Have a suggestion for My Name Is?

Volunteers help repair habitat along Sellars Gulch BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than 70 volunteers helped harvest and transplant willow branch cuttings on April 8 to improve the habitat along Sellars Gulch in Castle Rock. COURTESY PHOTOS

As an early way to celebrate Earth Day, Castle Rock town staff, with the help of nearly 70 volunteers, took to Memmen Ridge Open Space on April 8 to harvest nearly 1,000 willow stakes to help restore an area at Philip S. Miller Park. The stakes, taken from a drainage area, were transplanted to a drainage section with little shrub coverage at the park. The cuttings are expected to show signs of growth within two months. Earth Day this year falls on April 22. The Parks and Recreation Department has worked for several years to improve the habitat along Sellars Gulch, said Lisa Sorbo, volunteer coordinator for Castle Rock’s Parks, Open Space and Trails program. A lack of shrubbery can lead to a loss of wildlife and bird habitats, lower natural sound reduction and reduce soil stability. Sandbar willow shrubs, commonly found throughout Castle Rock, can be used to restore areas needing more coverage. On April 8, the restoration project also offered learning opportunities for volunteers transplanting the willow cuttings, who learned how to properly cut them. They also listened to

A lack of shrubbery along waterways can eliminate wildlife habitat and reduce soil stability. a presentation on the importance of healthy habitats. “With enough volunteers,” Sorbo said, “harvesting and transplanting native willow plants can be an inexpensive but reliable restoration technique to benefit our local waterways.”

Surplus money will go toward police, fire and public works projects Voters allowed the town to keep $714,580 BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Town of Castle Rock is using extra money voters said it could keep to boost public-safety efforts. In last November’s election, voters approved allowing the town to keep a $714,580 surplus from 2015 tax revenue. Town council approved how to spend that money April 4, hearing proposals from Police Chief Jack Cauley, Fire Chief Art Morales and Public Works Director Bob Goebel.

Town Manager Dave Corliss said they tried to be good stewards of the money. “We did not want to have any reoccurring expenditures. This is onetime money,” he said. “For example, it would not be appropriate to fund another police officer, firefighter or street maintenance crew person in the public works department because we don’t know if this money is going to be coming again.” The Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights — often referred to as TABOR — imposes revenue restrictions on state and local governments. When that limit is exceeded, the voters may choose between allowing the town to keep the money or having it refunded to residents.

Cauley requested $166,090 for items such as body armor, electronic speed signs and crash data readers. The highest-ticket item was the active-shooter body armor and shields, totaling more than $95,000. Unlike the force’s current body armor, which protects officers from weapons like handguns, the active shooterarmor is capable of defending against stronger firearms such as rifles. Goebel sought to protect drivers and pedestrians alike with the public works department’s $298,000 request. The bulk of those funds will go toward installing flashing yellow arrow lights at five intersections throughout town. “Castle Rock was one of the first communities in the state to use these

flashing yellow arrows,” Goebel said. The lights alert a left-turning driver that they must yield to on-coming traffic. The last item in his request was $70,000 for flashing beacon lights that are initiated when a pedestrian pushes a crosswalk button. Morales asked for a $253,500 share of the TABOR funds, including $60,000 for vehicle-extraction equipment. A combined $131,000 would provide both police and the community with medical equipment such as Stop the Bleed kits and defibrillators to stop cardiac arrests. Council approved the requests in a unanimous vote. “Appreciate council’s support,” Morales said, “on our behalf.”

Miller’s Landing could be a gamble — but one with possible big payoff

As Castle Rock Town Council continues to debate the proposed $250 million development known as Miller’s Landing, a third-party review of the project has found elements of the plan to be aggressive and, overall, unpredictable. But the development is also one with the capability to fill local market gaps and become a significant economic driver for Castle Rock, the report says. Castle Rock retained Economic & Planning Systems, an economic consulting firm with offices in Denver, to conduct the study of the Miller’s Landing proposal. Miller’s Landing is a 66-acre development that could bring 900,000 square feet of office and retail space west of Interstate 25 and Plum Creek Parkway. The flagship component to the design is a full-service hotel no smaller than 250 rooms with a 10,000-square-foot conference center. The consulting firm points out that the desire for improvements to the property is apparent. The project site is undeveloped and generating zero tax revenue for the town. It’s also home to an old town landfill still containing solid waste. The developers behind Miller’s Landing are Citadel Development and Chicago-based P3 Advisors. “I think the third-party report confirmed that Castle Rock now has a real opportunity to convert a public liability into an economic opportunity,” Shawn Temple, a managing director at P3, said in an email. The Castle Rock Urban Renewal Authority had declared the land blighted and has negotiated with numerous developers — prior to the Miller’s Landing proposal — in attempts to revive the area. Frank Gray, president of the Castle Rock Economic Development Council, said negotiations consistently fell through as developers struggled to budget for remediating the landfill, eventually walking away from the project. “Cleaning up a dump represents a lot of risks,” Gray said. “Once you open up you don’t know how much is going to be there.” Unlike in the past, the developers are experienced in such remediation projects and have agreed to take on the $11 million task. But the 29-page Economic & Planning Systems document notes there are more risks than a landfill remediation. Miller’s Landing would be unique to Castle Rock, the report says, meaning there is little to no historical data on which to predict how it might fare in the local market. The firm researched historical development trends in Castle Rock, but also in Lone Tree, Longmont, Loveland and

Parker to provide comparisons. It found that the developers for Miller’s Landing put forth an “aggressive, although not completely unprecedented” timetable for when the project could begin generating revenue and cash flow. “In terms of average rates, the development would generally have to capture many times more than the historic market average for retail and office,” the report states. The hotel size and scale is also a departure from the past. The consulting firm writes that, in the last 10 years, the largest hotel built in Castle Rock or the comparable cities is a 300-room Embassy Suite Hotel in Loveland with 40,000 square feet of conference space. “The success of the development likely depends on the developer’s ability to attract large hotel and office anchor tenants,” the report says. “Without attracting such a large anchor tenant and relying instead on the historic trends in Castle Rock, the project will take longer to absorb.” The report echoed points made by District 4 Councilmember Jason Bower during previous council discussion. Bower had said he feared the development could eat away at business in the downtown district. Economic & Planning Systems described Castle Rock’s retail market as “fairly saturated,” mostly referencing the Outlets at Castle Rock and the still-developing Promenade at Castle Rock. Miller’s Landing would need to attract more entertainment and destinationstyle retail, making it all the more dependent on the developer’s ability to secure the large hotel. When it comes to the hotel, representatives from P3 Advisors won’t name names, but said they are in negotiations with a larger hotel than the development proposes. Finally, the report found that the project is dependent on a $65 million public finance agreement with the town, which still needs final approval from council. “It also made clear,” Temple said of the report, “that while we are willing to raise the capital to make a significant private investment, some of the tax dollars generated on the site are needed to make it financially viable. We have been working with the town for a long time on this and we would be proud to realize our shared vision of success for Miller’s Landing that brings thousands of new jobs and increased economic vitality to the community.” Risks aside, Miller’s Landing is still an alluring development for council members who hope to attract primary employers through the office space, ditch the dump and bring a hotel to town with a conference center to rival those in Lone Tree or the Denver Tech Center. A split town council has had two executive sessions concerning the development, with one lasting more than two hours. Members haven’t commented publicly about the report. The executive sessions followed a postponed final reading of the public finance agreement. The next town council meeting is April 18.

School district will work to educate community about tax measure Douglas County residents’ support sought for mill levy, bond in 2018 BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District is moving forward with plans to educate the community about its financial needs, which include hundreds of millions of dollars in capital improvements. The goal is to get a pair of questions requesting more tax money on the 2018 ballot. During its April 4 meeting, the board of education voted 7-0 to approve a resolution for a joint subcommittee to work with the superintendent and

district staff to formulate and execute a plan to explain the need for new tax measures for the district. In March, the subcommittee, which comprises members of the District Accountability Committee, Long Range Planning Committee and Fiscal Oversight Committee, advocated for putting a bond measure and mill levy override question on the November 2018 ballot. The group will now work with interim Superintendent Erin Kane and district staff to devise the best ways to reach out to the community, which voted against measures seeking more money for schools the previous two times questions were put on the ballot, in 2008 and 2011. “We have to get moving toward the ultimate goal of a potential bond and mill in 2018 and this is just giving them the authority to move forward

on doing the work of educating the community,” Board member Wendy Vogel said. There had been discussion about possibly working to put a ballot measure on this year’s ballot. But the committee said one benefit of waiting until 2018 is that the ballot will include the governor’s race, which likely will increase voter turnout. Also, waiting a year would provide time to gather community support. In addition, they concluded it was best to not ask the community for a tax increase during the school board election in 2017, as it would become a campaign issue. In recent years, the district has faced funding shortages and rising capital needs at schools across the district. In 2015, the Long Range Planning Committee — a group of community members and parents who study the

district’s capital needs — estimated the cost at $275.1 million for current and future projects over five years. The committee identified the following major areas of need: facility reinvestment $133.6 million; technology, $53 million; and new construction to accommodate growth, $38.8 million. Kane said she hopes together they can “create a plan to make sure we are able to effectively communicate the financial and capital state of the district to the community.” Board of Education Vice President Judith Reynolds said the committee needs to talk to the community about “the needs of the school district and not the desires of the board of education.” Board member David Ray agreed, saying “our community really needs to drive this initiative.”

Castle Rock police investigating 19 car break-ins on April 10 STAFF REPORT

inches and 6 feet in height. A passenger was described as a black male. They were last seen driving a maroon 2012 Cadillac SRX with Colorado license plate QMU701. The vehicle was stolen in unincorporated Douglas County

several days ago. Anyone with information can call police at 303-663-6100. Police are also reminding residents to keep doors locked, windows closed and remove valuables from a vehicle. For more information visit CRgov.com/police.

BUSINESS

The chamber connection: Helping businesses and residents BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chambers of commerce are designed to help their businesses grow and prosper in the community, bring in new customers and contribute to the economy. But that’s not their only focus — chambers also inform and connect the residents of their communities. “If businesses thrive, residents do as well,” said Pam Ridler, president of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce. “We live in the community, too, and want it to keep growing and improving.” With all the connections and resources available to Ridler them, chambers can serve as critical connections between businesses, nonprofits, local governments and residents. “We work with the West Chamber and Arvada Chamber, because they provide great business connections, and because we’re always looking for experience faculty,” said Kim Rein, director of marketing and communications at Red Rocks Community College. “When we were raising capital for our Arvada campus, they were great in helping us raising awareness in the community.” Training and leadership classes are also often hosted by chambers to get residents more involved. “The chamber offers a leadership program, a young professionals program and various seminars,” wrote Angela Habben, Metro North Chamber president and CEO, in an email interview. “All these provide diverse insight and information into the regional community and benefit one’s business — and personal — growth and development.” Two of the most common ways residents interact with chambers are through chambers’ resources and special events. Resources for newcomers, shoppers “When I needed to move a couple states over, the first place I called was the chamber of commerce of the city where I was moving,” said Andrea LaRew, president of Highlands Ranch’s chamber. “I wish more residents knew to use us as a resource. If someone

needs something, we can help them or know someone who can.” Chambers often serve as a first point of contact for new residents, providing welcome kits and guides to the city. They also provide information to tourists interested in learning about hot spots to visit and entertainment options. “We’re set up at the Arvada Visitor Center, and are able to interact with people just visiting our city,” said Kami Welch, president of the Arvada Chamber of Commerce. “Our place is to be on the home turf and educate and connect people in the community.” For the person looking for a plumber, real estate agent or insurance company, chambers make connecting to reputable businesses easy through online directories and in-person recommendations. “We all band together to promote Jeffco businesses,” said Pam Bales, president and CEO of Jefferson County’s West Chamber. “We have a huge list of businesses to connect with people who need a wide range of services.” For those who prefer a physical resource, chambers create guides that residents can pick up and keep in their car or home. But more and more chambers have embraced social media and technology to extend the reach of businesses in creative and interactive ways. “As a chamber, we’re always in the loop on what’s happening in the community,” LaRew said. “It’s all about access and connection.”

What members are saying

Community events, large and small When a visitor is sampling some of the best Jeffco eateries at Taste of the West, checking out sweet rides at the Englewood Car Show or watching a bull rider at the Douglas County Fair, they’re taking part in a chamber-sponsored event. Many cities’ signature events are hosted or sponsored by their chambers, which serve the dual purpose of highlighting and connecting residents to member businesses, but also promote the city. “The Douglas County Fair and Rodeo has been part of the history here for 60 years,” Ridler said. “We also have the Lighting of the Star event, and the Colorado Artfest is going into its 28th year.” Beyond the big events, chambers host

smaller community-driven happenings that connect residents with everyone from nonprofits to elected officials. These events are open to all residents. “We have second and fourth Friday coffees in the morning at different area businesses, which helps us reach our residents directly,” said Randy Penn, director of the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce. “One of the things we’ve had to change is how we reach out to citizens. We have a great relationship with the city, and our next step is getting more residents involved.” Some of the Arvada Chamber’s most popular events are its third Friday breakfasts, where attendees discuss everything from legislative wrap-ups to the state of the city, county, transportation and much more. “We host a candidate forum every year that is really well-attended by residents,” Welch said. “We’re always looking at ways to tackle these issues. Sometimes it gets heated, depending on the subject, but that’s how a good discussion goes.” Smaller chambers, like the West

Colfax Community Association, host monthly morning meetings, that provide information and the opportunity to make important community connections. “My brand new business wouldn’t exist without the WCCA,” said Gene Kalesti, owner of Pure Colorado Event Center and Kitchen. “All the connections needed to get started, I made the association’s meetings.” In the end, so much of what chambers do comes down to a single word — connection. That applies to businesses, residents and the community at large. “Our publications of a city guide that talks about Westminster, open job postings on our website, resident community bags and an online events calendar, ensure people can take on an active role in the community,” wrote Juliet Abdel, Westminster Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, in an email interview. “Residents can also partner as community investors and participate in committees and projects that make a significant impact in our city.”

HB-1242 would ask voters to approve sales tax hike for road funding BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

State lawmakers are pushing to get a sales tax increase in front of voters this November to fund transportation infrastructure improvements. But while House Bill 17-1242 has widespread support among Democrats, who ensured its passage in the House, it has been met with mixed approval by Republicans. The bill would place a measure on the ballot to increase the state sales and use tax from 2.9 percent to 3.52 percent beginning Jan. 1, 2018 and lasting until 2038. It passed a House vote on March 31 by a 41-24 count and advanced to the Senate, where it would need approval before making its way to the governor’s desk. It has been assigned to the transportation committee. The bill was sponsored in the Democrat-controlled House by Speaker Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, and Rep.

Diane Mitsch Bush, D-Steamboat Springs, and in the Republican-controlled Senate by Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City, and Sen. Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs. The state transportation system faces a $1 billion per year funding shortfall, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. If the bill passes at the Capitol and then voters give it the nod, the measure would raise a net amount of about $604 million in new revenue from taxes in fiscal year 2018-19, according to an estimate from the Colorado Legislative Council staff. Under the bill, $300 million of the new revenue will be paid to the state highway fund, with the remainder going to county and municipal governments and a new multimodal transportation fund to develop public transit and bike and pedestrian options. It would also decrease the road safety surcharge — a vehicle registration fee — from $23 to $9 for most cars. “All of this needs a vote of the people,” Sen. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, said at a town hall he hosted in Littleton on April 4. SEE LEGISLATURE, P11

District attorney, congressman join race for governor’s seat Brauchler, Perlmutter among those seeking to replace Hickenlooper BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

George Brauchler is seeking to trade his 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office for one in the state Capitol. Brauchler, a Republican, is campaigning to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper in the 2018 election. Citing what he called “ a lack of real leadership at the state level,” Brauchler said he wants to push for a stronger economy and tougher sentences for violent criminals. “Our governor has spent the last six years being affable,” said Brauchler, who announced his candidacy April 5. On the heels of Brauchler’s announcement, the race was infused with another big name, this one on the Democratic side. Six-term Congressman Ed Perlmutter made his candidacy for governor official on April 9. Perlmutter, of Golden, was first elected to the U.S. House in 2006. He represent Colorado’s 7th Congressional District, which largely comprises politically diverse Jefferson County.

Brauchler was elected district attorney in 2012 and re-elected after running unopposed in 2016. The 18th Judicial District encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. He gained nationwide recognition for prosecuting the case against Aurora theater shooter Brauchler James Holmes, calling the case “the biggest trial in the history of the state.” He said maintaining his obligations outside the courtroom during the trial shows he can maintain his role as district attorney during the campaign. He added Perlmutter he would put his campaign on hiatus if a big case came up. In February, Colorado’s economy was ranked the best in the country by U.S. News and World Report, but Brauchler said it could be better with less regulation and streamlined registration policies for small business owners. “We’re spending a lot of time running with the herd. I think we can be leading the pack,” Brauchler said. “Are we doing well? I think we’re doing fine, but we can be doing bigger

and better for a longer period of time with the right leadership.” Calling criminal justice his “wheelhouse,” Brauchler said he will push for stronger minimum sentences for DUI and homicide offenders. “Right now, someone can commit serious murder and 20-25 years later be back on the street,” he said. Brauchler has lived in Colorado for 45 years, currently residing in Parker with his wife and four children. He attended the University of Colorado, Boulder, and later graduated from the University of Colorado School of Law. He is a colonel in the Colorado Army National Guard. Perlmutter, who launched his campaign at a grocery store in Golden on April 9, served in the state Sentate from 1995-2003. He said he is primarily concerned with protecting the environment and health care for Colorado. Perlmutter said that under the Trump administration, he believes he can do more good as the governor than as a congressman “because it is the states that can act as a check and balance.” Brauchler and Perlmutter have joined a crowded field that includes more than a dozen candidates. Notable on the Republican side is businessman Victor Mitchell, a Castle Rock resident who served in the state

House from 2007-09. Mitchell runs Lead Funding, an organization that offers financing options for homebuilders and developers. Mitchell was undaunted in his quest for a showdown in the June 2018 Republican primary election. “Attorney Brauchler is a fine fellow — a pretty good lawyer. He’s a patriot and soldier,” Mitchell said in an emailed statement. “But we don’t need yet another lawyer at the Capitol. We need business people who are proven managers.” Aside from Perlmutter, the Democrats in the race with the most name recognition are former state Sen. Mike Johnston and former state Treasurer Cary Kennedy. Johnston is a Denver resident who served in the state Senate from 200916, and before that, was a teacher and principal. Kennedy, of Denver, was elected treasurer in 2006 and lost a reelection bid in 2010. In 2011, she was appointed the City of Denver’s chief financial officer and its deputy mayor, and she continued in those capacities until 2016. Four of the past five governors have been Democrats. Hickenlooper was elected to the position in 2010 and reelected in 2014. — Editors Chris Rotar and Glenn Wallace contributed to this report.

Trash, graffiti, vandalism in Daniels Park on the rise Sheriff’s office to increase patrols in the area BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mike Woodland, a native of Littleton, has spent countless days at Daniels Park, walking his dogs and photographing the scenic views of the Front Range. But about eight years ago, Woodland started noticing vandalism in the park. Broken bottles, trash, remains of fires and graffiti tags littered the property. Woodland would frequent the park about two days a week just to clean up after other park users, he said. “It became such an ongoing task that it was almost like I had a part time job,” said Woodland, who now lives in Highlands Ranch. “I didn’t enjoy being up there.” The 1,000-acre property, owned by Denver Mountain Parks, is home to historic ranch buildings, a stone shelter, a Native American memorial ground and a bison herd. It sprawls across land south of Highlands Ranch and north of Castle Pines North, off Daniels Park Road. Vandalism at Daniels Park has increased in recent months, residents and Denver Mountain Park officials

Glass bottles and trash disrupt the pristine atmosphere of Daniels Park, acres of land between Highlands Ranch and Castle Pines North. The park’s owner, Denver Mountain Parks, and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office are working together to prevent vandalism on the property. The sheriff’s office is increasing patrols in the area.

say. The clay tiles on the shelter are broken, most likely from a person climbing on top of the structure, and paint covers some of the rocks and structures on the property. “People are pouring paint over the side, which is much more difficult for us to remove,” said Cynthia Karvaski, public information officer of Denver Mountain Parks, adding that paint removal will require solvents

and a pressure washer. Karvaski said the behavior appears to be from teenagers who use the park after school and on the weekends when it’s dark out. Denver Mountain Parks cannot have a park ranger on the property full time because it monitors a total of 20,000 acres of parkland across Denver, Jefferson, Clear Creek and Douglas counties, Karvaski said.

Instead, Denver Mountain Parks is working with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office to increase enforcement in the Daniels Park area. The sheriff ’s office has added Daniels Park to its STACC — Strategic and Tactical Approach to Crime and Crashes —program, which assigns a team to develop a plan for a specific issue. “The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office has identified Daniels Park as a point of concern and has taken several actions to reduce and hopefully remove the issues of fires, graffiti, litter, and any other criminal activity that may be occurring throughout that specific area,” Deputy Jason Blanchard, of the sheriff ’s office, said in an email. The sheriff ’s office will increase patrols in the area, monitor traffic stops and suspicious people or vehicles and connect with citizens who are using parking lots and pullouts around Daniels Park and nearby roads. “The emphasis will be on making citizen contacts with the goal of educating citizens and to enforce applicable violations such as, but not limited to, curfew, trespassing, minor in possession (of alcohol or drugs), vandalism, littering and illegal fires,” Blanchard said. Daniels Park is open to the public SEE VANDALISM, P11

LEGISLATURE FROM PAGE 8

Despite some Republican support in the Senate, it drew vocal opposition from House Republicans. Before the House voted on the bill, House Republican Leader Patrick Neville, of Castle Rock, and Assistant Leader Cole Wist, of Centennial, blasted it, saying that they were excluded from discussions. Wist believes that transportation improvements should be paid for with existing revenue streams rather than new taxes. “It’s irresponsible for us to go and ask for a tax increase before exhausting all other options,” he said. Wist also believes there will be significant Republican opposition to the bill in the Senate. “Just because the Senate president is sponsoring the bill doesn’t mean it has majority support of that caucus,” he said. Ultimately, four House Republicans supported it, including Polly Lawrence, of Roxborough Park. Lawrence, who initially opposed it, still has problems with the bill, but hopes the Senate will make some changes to it. “I had quite a few concerns,” she said, noting that she thinks the

sales tax increase is too much and she does not like the multimodal transportation oversight committee the bill creates. She believes the state should dedicate some general fund money to transportation projects. “The reason I voted `yes’ was to telegraph to the Senate that I think they can make the changes necessary to make this a workable bill to fix our transportation issues across the state,” she said. Republican House leaders attempted to divert other funding sources to transportation projects during budget negotiations on April 6, but were thwarted by the Democratic majority. Solutions the Republicans offered up included diverting general fund money, reducing funding for renewable energy programs and more. Kagan, who supports HB 17-1242, said he would prefer raising the income tax to raising the sales tax as a means of meeting budget needs, but understands that is a tougher sell to voters. He also said raising gasoline taxes may not fix the problem, as it’s a shrinking revenue source as people both drive less and drive more fuel-efficient vehicles. “We think that by doing it this way we potentially have a compromise that can be agreed upon,” he said.

from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Rules include no glass bottles or containers, fires are only allowed in the outdoor fireplace grills or camp stoves, no hunting or use of firearms or fireworks and no overnight camping. In March, when Douglas County had a fire ban in place, Woodland noticed remains of a burning fire at the park. He expressed concerns about a wildfire starting and spreading north to the Highlands Ranch Backcountry Wilderness Area. “High wind could absolutely

carry an ember down in there,” he said, “and then the Backcountry catches fire.” While Daniels Park isn’t in the jurisdiction of the Highlands Ranch Community Association, which owns the Backcountry, the HRCA is in touch with Denver Mountain Parks regarding the vandalism and illegal use within the park, said Mark Giebel, director of the Backcountry Wilderness Area. Woodland asks that residents who use Daniels Park recreationally be respectful to their surroundings. “It is a highly frequented place for photographers, but unfortunately people like to go there and party it up,” he said. “Be responsible — pack up your trash.”

ave you ever heard of Rube Goldberg?” Jennifer said. “Of course.” “Design one yourself. It might turn into a good column.” Goldberg (1882-1970) was known for depicting complicated gadgets that are sequenced to complete a very simple task. They were the opposite of efficiency. I think we all have encountered the opposite of efficiency. Variations of Goldberg’s ingenious designs have appeared in a number of films. I recommend “The Way Things Go,” but you will also find Goldberg variations in “Back to the Future” and “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure,”

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a famous course, Design and Manufacturing, that requires students to create a robot that will complete a relatively simple task with disproportionate ingenuity. Ultimately there is a competition, “an Olympics of engineering,” in front of a cheering crowd. I told Jennifer that I already had a good idea for a column. “How to brighten up your spring patio with new and colorful furniture.” She pretended to yawn. I sat down to work on the crossword puzzle with my favorite No. 2 pencil. “One across,” I said, “I know that one,”

and I was about to fill in the letters, when the point of my pencil broke. I looked at Jennifer and Jennifer looked at me. “How are you going to sharpen your pencil?” she said. “OK, OK,” I said. I thought about how I could sharpen the pencil and make an adventure out of it. How do we sharpen pencils? When I was just a grade-school boy, I pointed pencils in manual sharpeners. The sharpeners were usually black, and stuck to a wall. SEE SMITH, P13

We must protect the environment The frenetic attempt to repeal and reform the Affordable Care Act has failed. Now we must look to destructive actions by the Trump administration and Congress trashing existing protections of the nation’s land, air and water essential for human health. More than a century ago, the uncontrolled onslaught of the Robber Barons threatened the natural resources and wellbeing of Americans. Not since then have so many anti-conservation, anti-public health proposals appeared. Among many regressive measures planned or just enacted are: disposal of massive amounts of public land — national monuments and national forests; elimination of clean air and pure water protections; allowing mineral development of national parks and wildlife refuges; massive budget cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency, land managers and clean energy scientists. And perhaps worst of all, destruction of every positive measure in place to reduce climate change. In survey after survey, vast majorities of Americans say they treasure our heritage of public health and the benefits of public lands, water and air. In Colorado, 74 percent of residents identify themselves as conservationists in the 2017 State of the Rockies Report. For us, this savage attack on some of America’s best assets is a nightmare. We can’t let a new generation of Robber Barons return our nation to the bad old days of the 1890s. John Stansfield Larkspur

You can still find them. When I was a college student, one of my drawing professors expected us to whittle our points, and then refine them on little wooden paddles that had small strips of sandpaper stapled to them. He thought the pencil sharpeners were far too aggressive, and that too much pencil was wasted. When I taught drawing, I had four electric pencil sharpeners stationed around the room. If it were not for the electric sharpeners, too much class time would have been spent pointing pencils. We rely on convenience, unless we’re cast away on an island like Tom Hanks. I did think about the little sandpaper paddles, however. Could I make my own sanding surface and sharpen a pencil that way — if I were stranded somewhere? I determined that I could. But I would need to have access to sand or

exhibitions, healing arts and arts education programs, festivals, and artist residencies. And the NEA is on the verge of striking out. Yes, I understand – and advocate for – the need to reduce the federal deficit, and yet the current White House budget proposal does not do that. And yes, I also understand that reducing the federal deficit means a reduction in spending … a reduction that causes the least harm and has the most impact. This budget doesn’t do that either. We will never, ever agree on what causes the least harm, but what has the most impact on budget reduction is pretty quantifiable. For example, funding for the National Endowment of the Arts is on the chopping block. Yet the National Endowment for the Arts’ 2016 appropriation of $148 million constitutes only .004 percent of the federal budget. Additionally, NEA grants provide a significant return on investment of federal dollars with $1 of NEA direct funding leveraging up to $9 in private and other public funds, resulting in $500 million in matchring support in 2016. With only the $148 million annual budget, the NEA investments in the arts contributes to a $730 billion arts and culture economic industry, which includes 4.2 percent of the annual Gross Domestic Product, and

grit and some glue. Any island that calls itself an island has sand. But I don’t know what I would do about the glue. I was never a Boy Scout. I have no survival skills. I have a refrigerator. However, I know that some glues are nature-based, and that sap is very sticky. I also know that starch is used in some adhesives, for corrugated board and wallpaper. My island might have a potato tree. Or I could loan the pencil to a gerbil. They gnaw, you know. Ultimately, I gave up on it, walked to the studio, and let my electric Panasonic take care of it. I sat down with my yellow, No. 2 pencil and looked at one across again. Seven-letter word. Clue: “Follow a winding road.” Meander.

supports 4.8 million jobs that yield a $26 billion trade surplus for the country. Colorado Creative Industries, the NEA’s arm in our state, reports that Colorado ranks first in the nation for percentage of residents who personally perform or create artworks, second for residents who attend films and visit historic buildings, neighborhoods and parks, and third in reading literature and in attendance for live music, theater or dance. So … what do we here in Colorado want the “Ballad of the Republic Sung in 2018” to be, 130 years after Casey took the bat? NEA staff cannot lobby or participate in efforts to influence Congress regarding appropriations, law, legislation, or policy. But we can. If we want to fight for the arts in our communities, we need to step up to the plate. All of us. Call or write Colorado’s Congressional delegation and tell them what the arts mean to Colorado, and to you. Tell them not to let the NEA strike out. Andrea Doray is a writer who reminds us that private funding will not sustain the arts. And, of U.S. charitable giving, rural areas receive only 5.5 percent of all philanthropic dollars. NEA funding makes sure there is equitable distribution of funds, particularly for underserved communities, across the nation. Contact Andrea at a.doray@andreadoray.com for more information.

Weight swings may be risky for overweight heart patients BY LINDSEY TANNER ASSOCIATED PRESS

Losing and regaining weight repeatedly may be dangerous for overweight heart patients, a study suggests. Heart attacks, strokes and death were more common in patients whose weight changed the most over four years. For some, weight changes might have reflected yo-yo dieting, which some previous studies have suggested may be unhealthy for people without heart problems. That means a hefty but stable weight might be healthier than losing but repeatedly regaining extra pounds. But big weight fluctuations in heart patients studied could also have been

unintentional and a possible sign of serious illness that would explain the results, the researchers and outside experts said. Doctors not involved in the study called it interesting but not proof that “yo-yo” weight changes are risky for overweight heart patients. Regardless, the recommendation from New York University cardiologist and lead author Dr. Sripal Bangalore echoes standard advice for anyone who’s overweight: “Lose weight but try to keep that weight off.” The study was published April 5 in the New England Journal of Medicine. It’s an analysis of about 9,500 patients involved in a different study that didn’t

examine reasons for weight changes. Weight was measured an average of 12 times over four years and some patients lost and regained several pounds in between each measurement. Weight changes in the highest-risk group averaged about 10 pounds (5 kilograms) over four years. In the lowestrisk group, weight changes averaged less than 2 pounds (0.9 kilogram) over the same period. Deaths totaled almost 500 and were more common in patients with the biggest weight swings. Most patients lost and regained weight repeatedly, but the researchers didn’t calculate health risks based on the number of times weight changed. Weight fluctuations in normal-weight patients were not

linked with heart problems or deaths. University of Colorado heart specialist Dr. Robert Eckel called it an interesting study, but said it doesn’t prove that weight changes were dangerous. He also said a major limitation is not knowing if weight loss-regain was intentional. Dr. Clyde Yancy, cardiology chief at Northwestern University’s medical school in Chicago, said there’s no clear biological explanation for how yo-yoing weight might cause harm and that the study results could be merely due to chance. “The takeaway? Simple messages still prevail,” Yancy said. “A heart-healthy lifestyle both prevents and treats cardiovascular disease.”

Nurture of nature

Medicinal plants heal the mind, body and soul BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

April 13, 2017A

ith spring seedlings now popping through the soil, Colorado gardeners everywhere anticipate the growing season of flowers, vegetables and herbs, all of which can be used for a variety of health benefits, experts say. Plants are rich in minerals and vitamins that can greatly benefit an individual’s body, mind and

soul, said Dani Otteson, a community herbalist at Milkweed Herbarium in Littleton. “Medicinal herbs are very versatile,” Otteson said. “I think a lot of times in society we don’t think as much about what we can do to support our health. People think about what medicine they need when they are sick, but we need to take care of ourselves and support our wellness.” Community herbalists sell medicinal herbs to the public, but they are not to be confused with a medical professional, Otteson said. Before using a plant as medicine, it is always wise to talk to a medical professional about any SEE PLANTS, P17

For the mind Otteson started Milkweed Herbarium a year ago. At her business, she sells herbal teas and teaches classes. Otteson, a Littleton resident, primarily teaches people how to use medicinal plants, explaining how to blend teas, make syrups and create infused oils or honey. Since entering the world of medicinal plants, Otteson has experienced a positive change. “One of the biggest differences is that now I am more aware of how I feel,” Otteson said. “It has gotten me really used to checking in and figuring out why I don’t feel good and where don’t I feel good. At that point, I can find the best thing to help.” Her class on nurturing grief and broken hearts is Otteson’s favorite class to teach. She teaches people strategies for dealing with grief, such as prayer, exercise and writing. “There is no one thing that can be an answer, but there are a lot of different strategies I suggest people try,” Otteson said. She also demonstrates how to make teas that she says help with the grieving process. Otteson believes that minerals in certain teas can calm and nurture a person. She suggests people drink tea three to four times a day to benefit from minerals in the tea blend. “In general, minerals are one of the more difficult ingredients for people to get, especially in the standard American diet,” Otteson said. The teas Otteson blends are all inspired by different punk rock songs and albums. Otteson’s uplifting, mood-boosting tea blend, for example, is called “Rise Above,” named after a song by the punk band Black Flag. Otteson said that she creates teas for people dealing with sleep issues and stress. She said it is important to deal with any underlying issues with a psychologist, but she also suggests a soothing tea blend. Otteson’s most popular tea blend recommended for calming a mind is called “I Want to be Sedated,” named after a song by The Ramones. In that tea, she puts catnip, chamomile and passion flower. “Sleep and stress are two of the biggest challenges for people,” Otteson said. “The tea is calming; you can give it to kids, too.”

For the body Dating back to ancient Egypt, the aloe plant has a long history of medicinal use, according to healthline.com. The plant is a common household succulent often used for sunburn relief. According to the website: • The plant contains active compounds that may reduce pain and inflammation and stimulate skin growth. Simply rubbing a small amount into a burn several times will help reduce pain and encourage healing. • The anti-inﬂammatory property of aloe, B-sisterole, can ease the pain and reduce the affects of rhumatoid arthritis by consuming two ounces of aloe up to three times a day. • The clear ﬂuid in an aloe plant is 99 percent water. The other one percent is full of antimicrobial properties and contains vitamins C and E. This means that the non-greasy fluid can fight acne, reverse aging effects in skin and serve as a moisturizer. • Aloe vera extract is also a good substitute for chemical mouthwash. The vitamin C fights plaque and the aloe soothes sensitive, swollen or bleeding gums. Aloeplant.info, a website serving as a wellness resource to using aloe for health, suggests creating a honey and aloe face mask. The honey’s antibacterial abilities and aloe’s anti-inflammatory properties combined reduce redness, fight acne and moisturize the skin. To make the mask, combine one tablespoon of pure aloe vera gel and one tablespoon of raw, unpasteurized honey. Apply to the face, neck or back and leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing the mask off with warm water.

For the soul Rachel Sorrell, owner of Sorrell’s Healing Arts in Evergreen, studied the Mayan approach to medicinal plants in Guatemala. “I think there is a lot out there that is about fitness and lifestyle, but a lot of the time people forget about self-care,” Sorrell said. Sorrell works with cacao, which she said is the purest form of chocolate. She mixes two tablespoons of cacao powder in hot water with chili powder and cinnamon — the same way the Mayans consumed the plant. “In cacao, there are three main ingredients that allow a really beautiful thing to happen within a person,” Sorrell said. “The scientific name for cacao is theobroma. It translates to `food of the gods.’ ” The first ingredient in cacao is theobromine, which is similar to caffeine. Theobromine boosts energy and focus but has less of a “crash” than caffeine, Sorrell said. The second ingredient in cacao is anandamide, or the “bliss chemical.” “As humans, we naturally release anandamide when we are feeling pure joy or pure bliss,” Sorrell said. The third ingredient, phenethylamine, is known as the love chemical. Sorrell said it is naturally produced in the human brain when falling in love. “These three chemicals together allow people to enter a higher state of consciousness,” Sorrell said. “Cacao is a facilitator that works within a person’s body to reach a higher state of feeling bliss, love and focus.” Sorrell leads cacao meditations, in which clients consume a cacao beverage with four to six tablespoons of cacao, more than Sorrell’s recommendation of two tablespoons. After drinking the cacao drink, the meditation starts with some movement and ends in a sitting meditation. “When people cry, it makes me so happy,” Sorrell said. “It is not that I like to see people cry, it is just very moving. I can see people work through things with the help of cacao.”

All things must pass — another record store is shutting down

ave you ever driven by a house you once lived in, perhaps a childhood home, and wanted to stop in and see how things are different? I had the opportunity to do this every time I stepped into the Angelo’s CDs and More in Wheat Ridge. I worked in the store through college, LINER and before that my NOTES mother owned the Budget Tapes and CDs at that same location for more than 20 years. But now, after decades of businesses in the Applewood shopping center, the store is closing at the end of April. Clarke Reader I got the bad news during a recent Saturday visit to the store, and it knocked the wind out of me. It was like hearing the house you grew up in was going to be bulldozed. Like Joni Mitchell once wrote, “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” According to a handout given to shoppers, the store is closing because of an increase in rent prices in the shopping center, as well as required upgrades to the property that Angelo’s would have to pay for. Instead, the location is having a big closing sale all month, and employees will be going to the East Colfax and South Broadway locations. With its closing, west Jefferson County loses its only significant

health problems and the intended use of a plant to ensure safety. “If you have a broken arm, you should definitely go to the hospital,” Otteson said. “There are so many ways herbs can support us in our

independent music store. On West Colfax there is Chain Reaction records, which focuses on metal and punk albums, and on Wadsworth in Arvada there is Black and Read, but that store doesn’t just do music — it also sells books, games and movies. If you want to peruse the latest vinyl releases, check out local artists and get a new CD for your car, the options are now big box stores like Best Buy, Target and Barnes and Noble, or heading to downtown Denver. In 2015, Colin Hanks (Tom Hank’s son) made a fantastic documentary called “All Things Must Pass,” about the rise and fall of the Tower Records chain. The film is overflowing with interviews with former Tower employees, and music luminaries like Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, Elton John and David Geffen. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about some of the things these people discussed since I found out the Wheat Ridge Angelo’s closing. The shuttering of Tower, and other independent music shops, has been a slow but steady process since the advent of online shopping sites like Amazon, and digital music retailers like iTunes, Spotify and Pandora. “How do you compete with that?” Geffen said in one of the film’s interviews. “You know, if you could get Coca-Cola for free from your faucet, you wouldn’t buy a bottle of Coca-Cola.” I completely understand how the ease, accessibility and affordability makes these kinds of services ap-

pealing and, of course, I use them, just like everyone else. But I still go to the record store when I find something I love and need a physical copy of, or when I want recommendations. Because even with all the algorithms and recommendations based on previous search histories, you can’t replace the people who truly, truly love music and want to share it with their customers. “Those people knew their stuff. They were really on their ball. I mean, they just weren’t employees and they happened to work at music stores. They were devoted to music,” John said in the film. “It was inviting. It was like going to your favorite café.” For years, I was one of those people, and I learned so much about music from the people I worked with and customers I helped. If it really is the little things in life that matter, it’s difficult to top the joy that comes with discovering a new song, album or band that moves you. There’s

nothing quite like it. As Mitchell wrote in the aforementioned song, “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone,” so be sure to celebrate and patronize businesses who provide these kinds of personal services while they’re around. There aren’t many music stores left, and believe me, we need them. But don’t take it from me — The Boss knows you should, too. “You know, everybody in a record store is a little bit of your friend for 20 minutes or so,” Springsteen said in the documentary. “There was that family aspect of a real record store.” Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week.

Wrestling club has laser focus on success Sons of Thunder also runs online school for busy athletes

Jerzie Estrada takes down an opponent while training for an upcoming tournament at Sons of Thunder Wrestling Academy.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Their operation is one part school, one part wrestling club. In a unique business venture, Jeff Estrada and Luke Morris seek to provide their athletes not only with elite training but also with schooling that doesn’t battle their sports schedules. Sons of Thunder Academy, based in Castle Rock, runs a wrestling club in one half of its building and a K-12 Hope Online Learning Academy in the other. Of their 60 wrestlers, 35 attend the online school, Estrada and Morris said. An additional 15 kids are Hope Online students only. The education format provides a nice balance between attending a public school and the isolation of homeschooling, Estrada said. Wrestlers who aren’t Hope Online students attend various area public schools. Most importantly, Estrada and Morris said, Hope Online allows student athletes with rigorous schedules to make their education work for them. The coaches’ wrestlers come from all backgrounds. Each week, boys and girls alike take to the mats undergoing

repetitious drills under their watchful eye, all in hopes of bringing home the next title on their bucket list. “When 3:30 p.m. hits, man we come in here to grind,” Estrada said overlooking the gym. Although they consider the club elite, they train all levels of proficiency. Wrestlers hail from throughout Colorado and from out of state. Estrada makes sure the kids are working out hard, building strength and cardio, while Morris specializes in fundamentals and technique. “We make it fun,” Morris said. “But the sport is demanding.” They make rounds to an average of 40 tournaments a year, he said.

ual athletes may travel to tournaments once or twice a month, but for some it’s more. The students, however, don’t seem to mind. Morris’ 14-year-old son Ivan, who’s wrestled since he was 6, said traveling is one of the best parts of being in the Sons of Thunder club. Antonio Segura, 15, who drives 45 minutes or more each day from his home in Thornton, says the challenging workouts give him a satisfactory feeling. The training is also bringing in results. Just ask 10-year-old Thomas Verrette. He’s won three national titles, earning what they call the Trinity Award, one of the most coveted wrestling honors. Through squinted eyes and a hushed voice he’ll tell you what he likes about wrestling — and that’s winning.

Jerzie Estrada, Jeff Estrada’s 16-year-old daughter, has won a national title and two state championships. She’s hoping to turn that into four, and wrestle for Douglas County High School next year. Among the 15 female wrestlers at Sons of Thunder, 10 are nationally ranked, Estrada said Jerzie, like many of the athletes at Sons of Thunder, began wrestling at 5 years old. Through the help of the academy, the young athletes said they undergo more strenuous workouts than in other clubs they joined, and focus on more technique. Estrada and Morris will be the first to admit they challenge their athletes, but with titles piling up, their high coaching standards are paying off. “We have,” Estrada said, “some of the best kids in the country in our room.”

Luncheon at country club salutes winners of opera competition Nine performers sing for guests at annual event BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

April 4 was the date for the Denver Lyric Opera Guild’s annual Opera on Tuesday luncheon honoring its opera competition winners with awards that totaled about $30,000 — and listening to their rich voices. The event was held at Pinehurst Country Club, where accompanist Dr. Beth Nielsen, of Highlands Ranch, worked with each singer so smoothly that they complimented her afterward. Nine of the 10 highly trained winners performed an aria for the luncheon guests,, including upbeat drinking songs, love songs and others bearing on the human experience (University of Tennessee master’s degree candidate Griffen Hogan Tracy, 23, a Colorado resident who sings bass, had to return to school for rehearsals.) Soprano Ekaterina Kotcherguina (Katia), 28, won first place, the Galen and Ada Belle Spencer Award. The University of Colorado student, who is pursuing her performance certificate, said she would use her award to

(Ada Belle Spencer was a contralto, who left her professional music career to marry Galen Spencer and lived in Denver where she was involved in supporting music.) Second place, the Kenneth King Foundation Award, was given to soprano Amy Maples, 30, who came to Colorado two years ago as a Young

Artist with Opera Colorado. She has followed last year’s top winner, Sara Cambridge, as a voice teacher at Denver School of the Arts. Baritone Joshua DeVane, 32, is pursuing a master’s in vocal performance at the University of Colorado. He won third place, the Myrtle F. Hoffman Award. The Georgia native said his original degree was in info-tech, but he decided he wanted a career in music after he was laid off.

Molly Jane Hill, mezzo, who won fourth place, the Ada Belle Spencer Award, said she will use her prize money to expand her repertoire this spring. “Singers pay to place a job application,” she said. She also hopes to do an audition tour in Europe, which is very expensive. Christian Mark Gibbs, 25, a tenor who won fifth place, said he is from Queens, New York, came to Denver for a job and is working on a master’s degree in music at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. His winnings will help pay summer bills here while he attends a summer music festival. Baritone and sixth-place winner Schyler Vargas, 23, a Colorado State graduate, will use his prize money for graduate school expenses. He has an appearance with the Littleton Symphony coming up. Jovahnna Barboa, soprano, won the seventh-place Sherry Sheperd Sargent Memorial Award, presented by Dr. Frank Sargent of Englewood. She has a master’s and an artist’s diploma from Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver. Certificates of merit went to Nadya Hill, soprano; Claire McCahan, mezzo, and Griffen Hogan Tracy, bass.

‘United in Love’ concert to aid Denver Actors Fund Charity helps those in local theater world deal with medical costs BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“These stars are returning to their roots to support the theater community from which they came,” said Eugene Ebner, who conceived an April 30 concert, “United in Love,” with actor Paul Page, of Ebner-Page Productions. “They are examples to all of us for fulfilling their dreams while inspiring and encouraging others.” The concert will be a benefit for the Denver Actors Fund, which was founded in 2013. The fund has provided aid for members of the area theatre community with situational medical need. Ebner was speaking of Annaleigh Ashford, a Wheat Ridge High School graduate, who is getting rave reviews for her Broadway performance with Jake Gyllenhaal in “Sunday in the Park With George.” (Longtime theatre fans will remember a talented teenaged Ashford’s performances at Country Dinner Playhouse and elsewhere in the area.) She will enjoy a return engagement with Eaglecrest High School

graduate Andy Kelso, who costarred with Ashford in “Kinky Boots.” Also appearing will be Mara Davi (“Dames at Sea,” “Smash,” “A Chorus Line.”), who grew up in Highlands Ranch and performed locally. Hosting will be Eden Lane and Steven J. Burge and the music director is veteran Highlands Ranch-based musician Mitch Samu. Mary Louise Lee, Ashford longtime area performer and Denver first lady, will appear as will Broadway’s Jodie Langel, and local composer Denise Gentilli, singers Daniel Langhoff, Sarah Rex, Jeremy Rill, Kirsten and Willow Samu, Eugene Ebner, Davi Randy St. Pierre, Paul Dwyer, Robert Johnson, Thaddeus Valdez, Randy St. Pierre, Clarissa Fugazzoto, Becca Fletcher, Jimmy Bruenger — and more to be announced. Also included: the cast of “The Jerseys” and the cast of the upcoming “13 the Musical” (an all-student cast). The Denver Actors Fund, started by former Denver Post theater critic John Moore and actor/attorney Chris Boeckx in 2013, has made $82,000 available in the past

three years to local theater artists in need. It has helped with medical bills, co-payments, delivery of meals and aid in snow shoveling. Recently, the fund has helped a young father struggling with chemotherapy, a director who had triple bypass surgery and parents of a child who died with medical and burial expenses.

Science behind a story comes alive at conference Annual storytellers conference takes place April 21-23 in Golden

Storytelling is the oldest form of communication. “Everyone wants to know how to tell a good story, because stories are what we remember,” said Kate Lutz, board member of Rocky Mountain Storytelling. “And a well-told story will leave a listener wanting more and more.” Rocky Mountain Storytelling, a nonprofit organization, is bringing its annual conference to Golden April 21-23 at the American Mountaineering Center, 710 10th St. The conference will attract about 100 people, Lutz said, and will offer each person something they will enjoy — from folk tales to personal stories. “Some will be serious, and some will be playful,” Lutz said. “And some will be a combination of the two.” The conference dates back to the 1970s when a college professor started it at Auraria Campus in Denver. It has been at the American Mountaineering Center for about five years, Lutz said. This year, the conference will host workshops, a storytelling concert, keynote addresses and a storytelling slam. The event is family-friendly, but

This year, the convention takes place April 21-23 at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden. COURTESY PHOTOS it is recommended that children are at least 10 years of age, as the event is geared to provide a fun storytelling experience for adults. The general public will especially enjoy the Friday night storytelling concert and Saturday night’s story slam, Lutz said. The story slam on Saturday night is themed “Once Upon a time…,” and everybody is welcome to participate, Lutz said.

Friday night’s storytelling concert will feature Janice Del Negro, a storyteller and author known for traditional folk and fairy tales; and Matthew Taylor, a storyteller, actor, teacher and author who does mostly personal narrative. “I love the science behind stories — how they work and why they work,” Taylor said. “It’s how we connect as humans.”

Matthew Taylor, a storyteller, actor, teacher and author, will be telling stories, teaching a workshop and delivering a keynote speech at this year’s Rocky Mountain Storytelling convention, which takes place April 21-23 at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden.

Nothing simple in Japanese beetle battle Best control method would never fly: a city of unwatered lawns BY DAVID GILBERT SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Japanese beetles have descended on Front Range landscapes, and annual spawning frenzies send waves of frantic gardeners in search of a solution. Each June, the half-inch-long, green and brown metallic beetles lay waste to an array of ornamental and vegetable crops, particularly on the southwest side of the Denver metro area. Though the beetles have appeared sporadically in Colorado in decades past, the current outbreak represents an entrenched population that experts say won’t be easily controlled. “I hate to sound doomsday, but I think it’s too far gone here,” said Larry Vickerman, the director of Denver Botanic Gardens’ Chatfield Farms. “We’re doomed to have to deal with them.” The beetles may have arrived as far back as the 1940s, though the current south Denver outbreak seems to have originated in Cherry Hills Village, said Laura Pottorff, program manager of Plant Pest Detection and Quarantine for the Colorado Department of Agriculture. In many south metro area commu-

nities, swarms of beetles drip from host plants for much of the summer, leaving skeletonized leaves behind. Grapes, roses, and vines like Virginia creeper are especially hard hit, though the beetles also devastate other popular trees like lindens, elms, apples and crabapples, according to a fact sheet prepared by Colorado State University. Grass lawns are also victims, as the beetles lay their eggs in irrigated turf. Hatching grubs then munch on grass roots, leaving dead patches. No single method is effective in controlling the beetles, though management strategies abound and tend to

fall into a few categories, according to the CSU fact sheet: drying out landscapes to kill thirsty larvae in the soil; replacing plants that attract the bugs with native, xeric varieties; removing the beetles by hand; employing biological controls, such as bacteria and nematodes that damage grubs; and applying organic or synthetic pesticides. Experts recommend homeowners employ a comprehensive approach. Allowing lawns to go dormant from mid-June to mid-July can kill off grubs at their most vulnerable state, though the benefit may be limited. “The beetles that you see in your

yard do not mature from larvae in your lawn. They fly in from large expanses of turf grass,” said Robert Cox, horticulture agent at the Arapahoe County Extension of Colorado State University. Replacing affected plants can also help. “We have a way to get rid of it, but it won’t be palatable to people here, because we want greenery, and we want more than just native plants in our yards,” Pottorff said. “We have to come to a happy medium — water less, incorporate more native plants, and we won’t have so many problems. We ought to embrace the climate we live in.” Picking beetles off affected plants and dropping them into soapy water is an important tactic, Cox said, though he added not to smash the beetles — doing so sends clouds of an attractant pheromone skyward. Biological controls are also largely inadequate, though not without merit. Milky spore, a bacteria that infects and kills grubs, must be applied several times a year for several years to take effect. “It’s only going to knock out maybe 10 percent of any grub population,” said Cox. “It will have some benefit once it’s pretty well established. You’re still going to get the same number of adults flying in as you did last year.” SEE BEETLE, P30

Nematodes, tiny worms that infect grubs in the lawn, can be effective, though short-lived, said Larry Hurd, a horticulturist with South Suburban Parks and Recreation who manages Littleton’s War Memorial Rose Garden, where last year he and CSU’s Dr. Whitney Cranshaw ran numerous experiments on control methods. “We found that (nematodes) have to be introduced in the spring, typically watered in, or when it’s raining,” Hurd said. “Nematodes do not overwinter in Colorado soil. Every year

they would have to be reapplied. ” Lesser organic pesticides are wholly ineffective — garlic, hot pepper wax, citrus extracts and even neem oil do nothing. Bio-neem, containing azadirachtin — an insect growth regulator extracted from seeds of the neem tree, often labeled as “clarified hydrophobic extracts of neem” — is mildly useful, Hurd said. Imidacloprid, the active ingredient in many commercially available pesticides, readily kills adult beetles on leaves and larvae in the lawn, and is often sold in turf treatments and foliar sprays. However, it’s also a neonicotinoid (neonic for short) — one of a class of pesticides that are believed to be

a factor in Colony Collapse Disorder, the phenomenon that’s killing honeybees around the world. “My recommendation is that if you have any weed problems in the turf, or any flowering trees in that lawn, do not use imidacloprid,” said Hurd. “If you have lindens, flowering crabapples, dandelions or white clover in your lawn, you should not use neonics at all.” Still, Pottorff called imidacloprid “the most effective of the pesticides,” and Hurd added, “I don’t think neonics should be removed from the market. They’re just another tool in the shed. If you understand how they work, and you’re taking the necessary precautions, you can use them to your advantage.”

Carbaryl, sold under the brand name Sevin, is also tough on honeybees if sprayed on flowers. Pyrethroids, a class of synthetic pesticide derived from a compound found in chrysanthemums, can also wreak havoc on pollinators if not applied in strict accordance with product labels. Acelypryn is a newer pesticide, currently available in only a handful of products, that appears to be much less harmful to pollinators. Larry Vickerman, the Chatfield Farms director, isn’t rattled. “The Japanese beetle’s going to do some damage, but it’s not the end of the world,” Vickerman said. “We’ll have chewed up grapes and roses. That’s the price we pay for green lawns.”

800 meters can be a real pain

Decades don’t dim coach’s love of game

Douglas County junior Lina Corrales was the winner of the 800 and 1,600 races at the April 3 Highlands Ranch Invitational. She claims it takes heart to succeed in 800-meter runs, and between races walks to stay loose and listens to music. JIM BENTON

Race combines elements of a sprint and a distance event

Race prep includes ‘grueling’ training

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The 800-meter run is not a sprint and it’s not a distance race. It’s a hybrid. It takes speed, stamina, grit and a high threshold for pain to succeed in the 800, which is often referred to as a middle-distance race. In short, the 800 — which is roughly half a mile — is tough, Colorado high school coaches and runners agree. “The 800-meter run is absolutely brutal,” said Faith Christian coach Steve Urban, who was the distance coach last season for boys 5A state SEE RACE, P32

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Lance Tillman, lacrosse, sophomore, Valor Christian: The Eagles snapped a four-game losing streak with a 22-8 win over Cheyenne Mountain on April 6, and Tillman had six goals and seven assists. Cole Blatchford, baseball, senior, Mountain Vista: He allowed four hits over seven innings and two runs while

striking out nine batters in a 4-2 win over Arvada West on April 8. Micah Conley, track, senior, Arapahoe: He was first in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 15.91, won the 300 hurdles in 41.02 and ran a leg on the 4x400 relay during the City of Littleton Championships on April 7. Sam Beecher, baseball, junior, Pon-

derosa: The right-hander pitched six innings, allowed one earned run, scattered six hits and fanned 10 batters in the Mustangs’ 5-2 triumph over Evergreen on April 8. Maddie Etten, soccer, sophomore, SkyView Academy: She scored the gamewinning goal in the 3-0 conquest of Front Range Christian on April 6.

arc Johnson was standing near the left-field foul line answering questions, and it didn’t take long to understand why he is still coaching baseball at Cherry Creek High School. It’s for the love of the game. On a recent afternoon, he stopped several times OVERTIME as the Bruins were starting practice to stress to pitchers the importance of throwing strikes, to tutor outfielders on drop steps and to remind a shortstop on knowing the arm strength of outfielders. “I still love working Jim Benton with kids,” he said. “They are fun to work with and they still listen. They try hard.” Johnson, 72, is in his 45th season as head baseball coach at Creek. He also served for 23 as boys soccer coach. He is on a Colorado coaching longevity list that includes Denver East and Machebeuf football legend Pat Panek (52 years), Denver Christian basketball coach Dick Katte (48 years), Dove Creek football coach Kenneth Soper (46 years), Heritage and Columbine wrestling mentor Ray Barron (46 years) and Eaton baseball coach Jim Dantley (46 years), who is now an assistant at Littleton. Only Barron and Johnson are active head coaches. “I’ve been very blessed having the community and administration we have,” Johnson said. Johnson went into this season with 751 coaching victories, so the success ratio works in his favor. The Bruins have captured eight state championships, been the runner-up five times, a final four team in 22 springs and have earned 29 league titles. “There are obviously a lot better players today,” Johnson said. “They’re stronger, bigger and faster. Sometimes the baseball IQ isn’t any better. We work every day on baseball IQ stuff. “Obviously the first state championship in 1983 was memorable. That 1995-96 team when we started that run of five straight state championships was a huge time. That was our heyday.” Filling out lineup cards, strolling to the mound and prepping fields after unpredictable spring storms will continue to be part of Johnson’s life. “I’ve always said this: As soon as the kids don’t relate any more and as soon as the kids aren’t happy, I’ll know its time,” he said. “I’m not going to go anywhere until I feel it is time or the school says it’s time. I still absolutely love it. “For me, I don’t golf or fish because I’m so immersed in baseball. When I do give it up, I’m going to have to learn to fly fish or do something. Coaching is obviously something I love. One thing, I’ve gotten more tolerant than I was when I was younger. You kind of have to shift with the culture a little bit.” SEE BENTON, P33

end like a distance race and you can’t just go all out all the time like a sprint race. It’s strategy based and mentally based. “I broke the Pomona high school record for the 800 and that probably was the hardest race of my whole career and I’ve been running since I was 5-years-old. We started the first lap going real fast so I figured I was just going to die… We just kept going at the same speed the entire race and that’s just something that doesn’t happen in an 800 race.” Madison Easton, a senior at Mountain Vista, usually likes to go out fast. “Sometimes that’s not the best move,” Easton said. “I kind of like to go out fast and get my spot. The hardest part of an 800 is the third 200 (meters), so I push the most there and the last 200 is just give it all I’ve got.” Like many runners, Thornton junior Stephanie Carrasco competes in multiple events. She has run the 3,200, 1,600 and 800 this season. She favors the longer races — by comparison, the 800 seems almost like a sprint event. “I prefer the 3,200 because it’s a long-distance event,” she said. “The 800 is really tough because it’s basically sprinting for 800 meters without pace.” Highlands Ranch coach John Padjen calls the 800 a “grueling race” that

champion Pomona. Kaden Lathrop, a senior at Highlands Ranch, was concise when asked what it takes to excel in the 800. “The number one thing in running the 800 is guts,” he said. “Anyone can be in good enough shape and have the form and speed, but what it really takes to finish an 800 is some guts.” Mountain Vista junior Caden Foster, a friend and rival of Lathrop, sometimes feels wiggly at the finish. “It’s a weird race,” he said. “The first half, you feel good, but it hits you immediately after the first lap. You think, `What am I doing, this is really hard.’ By the time you run the last 100 your legs are Jell-O.” Strategy becomes a big part of the 800, which while neither a sprint nor a distance race, combines elements of both. “It is kind of its own category. It is more of a mental race,” said Vincent Workman, the Pomona High school 800-meter record holder and now a freshman at Colorado School of Mines. “You just can’t sit back and kick at the

demands endurance and speed. “And most importantly, a willingness to fight through a high level of pain,” he said. For Douglas County junior Lina Corrales, desire plays a part in meeting the demands of the 800, no matter what race tactic is used. “If you want to race well, you just kind of have to love it and just make sure you have your heart in it 100 percent,” Corrales said. “You just have

to deal with the pain and then at the end just hope you make it the best.” Littleton sophomore Christian Sapakoff agrees with those runners who have a love-hate relationship with the 800 meters. “I hate it when I’m doing it but afterward I like it,” he said. “The toughest thing is just hanging in there mentally. You end up hitting kind of a wall at some point and you don’t want to run anymore, but you have to keep going.”

New basketball coaches Ponderosa has hired an Arapahoe High School graduate as its new head boys basketball coach. Max Schuman, who was the Distinguished Scholar Athlete, MVP and first team all-state basketball player in 2002 at Arapahoe, will take over the Class 4A Mustangs’ program, according to Athletic Director Tim Ottmann. Schuman was the starting point guard at Colorado College from 200205. He replaces Steve Ketchum, who coached Ponderosa for the past two seasons, compiling a record of 22-26.

Meanwhile, Darren Pitzner, an assistant coach the past two years at Lakewood, is the new head girls basketball coach at Green Mountain. Pitzner takes over a team that was 11-14 last season and graduates only three players. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

Drop by drop: Volunteers record rain and snow Crew of 20,000 measures precipitation for environmental organizations BY AMY THOMSON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

teve Austin has been measuring the precipitation levels in his backyard every morning since 2005 at his home in Northglenn. Outside of a few weekend trips, he hasn’t missed a day. “I’ve been doing it so long, it’s just part of what I do,” he said. “Get up, get washed, shaved and measure the rain.” He doesn’t keep that data for his own amusement but sends it off to the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, or CoCoRaHS, an international group of volunteers who use their rain gauges to help the National Weather Service and other environmental organizations. “Moisture is so important,” the retired engineer said. “If you only get one-tenth of an inch, CoCoRaHS wants to know.” The network, headquartered in Fort Collins, is key to helping hydrologists and climatologists around the world get the most accurate, informed data on precipitation rates possible.

Volunteers use rain gauges like this one to track precipitation around the globe. COURTESY PHOTO

“Rainfall is so variable,” Education Coordinator Noah Newman said. “A rainstorm could go right in between the official stations of the National Weather Service and they might not know how much rain fell.” And that’s happened before. “It all started from the Fort Collins flood in 1997,” Newman said. The weather service’s station was out by I-25 and hadn’t picked up on the dangerous incoming storm. As a result, the community never received a warning

to evacuate and five people died. Colorado State Climatologist Nolan Doesken realized that starting a community network of rain gauges could save some lives and the network was formed, according to Newman. What began with a handful of people in Colorado now comprises 20,000 volunteers across the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas. The nonprofit asks that observers report data every morning, but it’s not

Equine therapy ranch wins thousands in competition Franktown’s Promise Ranch took part in Brackets for Good BY STAFF REPORT

Franktown equine therapy provider Promise Ranch won the inaugural Brackets for Good fundraising competition. The nonprofit ranch, specializing in equine-assisted activities and therapies for individuals with disabilities received 389 donations totaling $44,902.

RAINFALL FROM PAGE 37

called the measuring tube, that tells how much rain fell in the past 24 hours. Measuring snow requires a few additional steps, like weighing the snow from your rain gauge to determine the precipitation amount and reporting the inches of snow in your backyard. Volunteers say it takes between 5 and 15 minutes a day. The Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) uses this data regularly. They have an alert system of 200 automatic rain gauges across the Denver and Boulder areas to measure

“Participating in Brackets for Good Denver has been an absolutely thrilling experience,” Promise Ranch Executive Director Sharon Tiraschi said in a news release. “We are so grateful to have been a part of this tournament, and are deeply thankful to all of our donors for their incredible generosity.” Nearly 60 nonprofits competed in the six-round, five-week fundraising tournament, which ended March 31. It was organized in head-to-head brackets reminiscent of the NCAA “March Madness” basketball tournament. Every dollar donated through bfg. org equaled one point for the chosen

nonprofit. Organizations advanced by outscoring their opponent in each round. Promise Ranch Therapeutic Riding rallied donors to help them advance past Denver-based nonprofit Children’s Future in the final round. For winning the tournament, Promise Ranch also received a $10,000 award from sponsor mGive, a mobile fundraising organization based in Greenwood Village. “It’s been absolutely incredible seeing the numbers go up and up as the rounds went on, and to see the fervor with which Denver has embraced this tournament of giving,” said

mGive representative Ethan Kotel. Brackets for Good, a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Indianapolis, promotes other nonprofits and charities through competitive online fundraising methods. Since its inaugural tournament in 2012, the group has raised more than $2.75 million for hundreds of charitable organizations across the country. Promise Ranch representatives were also invited to travel to Indianapolis for the Brackets for Good “Celebration of Champions,” to join 10 other winners for a recognition ceremony during an Indiana Pacers game.

and identify when heavy rainstorms are happening and alert the public of appropriate safety measures. But the volunteer data makes this system more robust. “The network observer data really does fill a nice gap (in the alert system),” said Kevin Stewart, program manager for Flood Warning and Information Services for UDFCD. “In fact, there are more network observers in the region than we have automated gauges.” Another Thornton observer, John Simmons, first became interested in water conservation when he and his wife implemented a water-conscious xeriscape landscape when they purchased their home in 1980. When he heard about the observer opportunity, he signed up. Simmons said he was motivated by the

environmental and civic responsibility. “More and more people use the water and we need to be more aware of water resources in general,” Simmons said. “It’s a civic duty.” During the tragic 2013 Colorado floods, Simmons recorded 5.07 inches of rain on Sept. 12, 2013 — and another 1.64 inches the following day. Paul Bartholomew, a business analyst living in Thornton, started recording 12 years ago to help round out the data for the National Weather Service and organizations like the UDFCD. “I’m committed to statistics and I know how important this data is,” he said. “The emergency reports that we can submit go right to the National Weather Service.”

Thornton resident Steve Austin checks his rain gauge as part of an international effort to track precipitation. Austin is one of 20,000 volunteers around the globe whose information helps officials agencies keep an accurate record of weather events. AMY THOMSON
