A 65-acre, $250 million development that includes a hotel and conference center could be built west of Interstate 25 and Plum Creek Parkway in Castle Rock — just a stone’s throw from Philip S. Miller Park. The town is considering a $65 million bond to pay for infrastructure on the project. The total project investment, however, could fall between $250 million and $300 million. Remediating the landfill will require state supervision and cost approximately $11 million, Scott Springer, managing director with P3 Advisors, the development company, said at a Feb. 21 Castle Rock SEE COUNCIL, P22

Castle Rock hairstylist at 222 Wilcox St. loves travel with family, community relationships
Building relationships I have lived in Castle Rock four years this April. We have three beautiful daughters that I love to travel with and keep us on our toes. I currently own Rocky Mountain Hair Studio in downtown Castle Rock. We are a full-service salon and boutique. We specialize in color and are also a family salon. I have been a hair stylist for 17 years now. I love everything about it but my favorite part is the people. Building relationships with the community is awesome. I am open seven days a week and love every minute of it.
A friendly town I love the downtown area. It has been a wonderful place. We opened in October of 2015. Castle Rock has been an amazing place to build a business. I think the people here are the nicest out of anywhere I have ever lived. (My clients would agree, we often talk about how friendly everyone is.)
A passion for travel When I am not in my salon I also travel and teach for the color line I use.

Community finding common ground on need for school ballot measure But voters may not be asked to raise taxes for district until 2018 BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The often-divided Douglas County School District community is rallying in favor of a common idea: raising taxes. “This is a first for me,” said board of education President Meghann Silverthorn. “I’ve had citizens approach me and say ‘Hey, I want taxes,’ and I don’t just mean the usual folks who have always wanted an increase, I mean conservatives who say `I hate taxes, but it’s clear to me that we can’t compete or the district needs more money.’ ” Board member David Ray said he supports putting a tax measure on the ballot for Douglas County voters and that it is “long overdue.” “My hope is that there will be a swell of support from our community to move forward as soon as possible so that we can stop the bleeding when it comes to the negative consequences our district has already experienced,” Ray said. “It has been proven many times over that the investment in the school system has a direct correlation on the success of the surrounding community — including quality of life, economic stability, property values and the success of our learners. “We are in critical times when it comes to much-needed financial support for the benefit of our 67,000-plus learners.” In recent years, the district has faced funding shortages and rising capital needs at schools across the district. But while consensus is building that the district should push to get a bond issue and/or a mill levy override on the ballot, it’s not clear if that effort will come this year or in 2018. Meg Masten, a community member who helped organize a town hall event regarding district budget issues in February, said “long term, a bond or mill levy is the only way to solve our funding issue.” Masten said she thinks the community will wait until 2018 to put a measure on the ballot. “We need at least 12 months to gain the support needed to get it passed,” Masten said. “There just isn’t enough time.” 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.
Douglas County residents said no the past two times school-funding issues made the ballot. The community voted down a $200 million bond issue in 2011 that would have gone toward building three new schools in Castle Rock and Parker and a $29 million mill levy override that would have provided funding for instructional expenses and pay-forperformance for teachers. In 2008, Douglas County voters rejected a $395 million bond issue and a $17 million mill levy override to support building new schools, improving student achievement, recruiting and retaining the workforce and improving the district’s technological advances in the face of expanded enrollment. The board of education commissioned a joint committee made up of representation of the District Accountability Committee, Long Range Planning Committee and Fiscal Oversight Committee to bring the public recommendation to the school board before the next school year, which begins in August. “I would need to see a measure before I knew if I would support, it but I’m certainly well aware that our situation is not going to get any better the longer we wait,” Silverthorn said. Jason Virdin of the group Douglas County Parents, which advocates for parents and students in the district, agreed with Masten on the 2018 timetable. “Our schools have experienced inadequate funding as a result of a flawed state-funding formula and the fiscal mismanagement by the reform-minded DCSD Board of Education directors and central administration,” he said. “Until the state begins funding schools adequately, school districts will be forced to seek funding locally. Passing a bond will require a significant community outreach effort, community trust and a unified school board.” DCSD’s Fiscal Oversight, Long Range Planning and District Accountability committees are also recommending that the district wait until 2018 before attempting to place a bond measure on the ballot. Masten said the time would give supporters of a new tax measure time to get on the same page. “The other issue is a lack of trust in the district,” Masten said. “We are still trying to repair the relationship with the community and at this time, I don’t know if the community would be willing to give more money to the district.” Silverthorn agreed with the idea the community needs to present a united front in order to garner support from the broader community, saying “we prove to people we will be wise with their money.” “We have to have a conversation as a community about how we unite around the idea that we need money for our schools and not throw bombs in such a way that it doesn’t help that end,” Silverthorn said.

Area residents rally to support President Trump Gathering draws people from Douglas County BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The day was a flurry of red, white and blue. There were cheers, and sometimes, jeers. Chants including “USA! USA! USA!” and “Build that wall!” at times drummed out the day’s speakers. At least 100 of President Donald Trump’s supporters in Colorado turned out in Denver on Feb. 27, saying they wanted to show the president he does have support in the United States, despite protests against his administration. The organizers said they wanted to send that message to the country as a whole, too. “He can be crass,” said Reina Kramer, of Lone Tree, “but I still support him.” Kramer, who’s lived for 15 years in Douglas County and six in Jefferson County, said she attended the Spirit of America rally held on the state Capitol steps, one of many planned across the nation, to support the president for numerous reasons. “Our country was founded on people coming to Washington as farmers and lawyers, and not career politicians,” Kramer said. She’s glad to see a businessman take the Oval Office and not a career politician. She also hopes Trump will bring more jobs to the U.S. The economy is Kramer’s biggest concern. She can still recall trying to survive the recession alone — her husband died in 2006 — calling it a difficult time, although she refrained from offering specifics. She also found the president’s outspokenness on the campaign trail refreshing, and in a sense, liberating. “He spoke what all of us were thinking but we were too politically correct to say,” Kramer said. “He gave me a voice.” Ann Bronson, of Castle Rock, rallied behind Trump on many issues. She favored the pro-life candidate and supported his selection of a conservative
Attendees of the rally give a cheer for President Donald Trump on Feb. 27. justice for the Supreme Court. She also backs him on immigration. “I think we should have stricter immigration law and enforce the law we have actually,” she said. Jeanne McCollum, of Castle Rock, joked she attended the rally to counteract her sister’s participation in antiTrump protests, clarifying they have a good relationship. McCollum said she supported Trump’s promises to bring jobs to America, to build a border wall, to support the Keystone Pipeline and to fully repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. She was there to support a president with whom she was in total agreement, she said, a common theme throughout the day. “I wanted to support President Trump because of so many antiTrump rallies,” Bronson said. “I think people need to be made aware that there are people who support President Trump.” For a few hours that day, those rooting on Trump’s “America First” agenda were able to proclaim their ideals in unity and, mostly, judgmentfree.

For a few brief moments, a man approached the crowd yelling, “Stop the hate,” before being booed away. Overall, the event was uplifting, said Margo Knutson, of Franktown,
the Denver coordinator for Spirit of America. The day reminded Trump’s supporters that they are not alone, she said, and sent a positive message to the White House. “I think people probably left,” Knutson said, “with some faith.”

Low inventory, high prices typify a tough market for home buyers
The following are the median sales prices of single-family homes in January for communities throughout the Denver metro area, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. At right is the percentage increase or decrease as compared to January 2016.
BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Londa Mull isn’t your typical couch surfer. “I’m technically homeless, and I chose this,” she said with a smile. After her four adult children moved out, Mull, a 50-year-old former real estate broker’s assistant, began looking for a smaller home in July 2016. She sold her Centennial home in February, but still hasn’t found a house, condominium or townhome that meets her needs, so for now, she’s staying with friends and sleeping on sofas. An empty nester with money and time to spend, Mull realizes she has advantages over most buyers looking for a single-family home. With little to choose from and prices that have skyrocketed in recent years, the Denver metro housing market can be daunting. Mull feels sorry for families trying to buy a starter house. “I had a young couple in the Thornton area a year ago,” she said. “We would spend an entire Saturday every week and write offers four or five at a time” but always got outbid. The couple found a home, after looking at 65 houses, submitting 25 offers and going above their agreed price range. Mull said she’ll use Airbnb — an online marketplace that connects people to living accommodations — to avoid wearing out her welcome if she doesn’t find a place soon. And she isn’t too optimistic. “The problem is there isn’t that much out there,” she said, but “when I found a place I liked, of course it sold like that,” she said, snapping her fingers. ‘There’s nothing out there’ A February study by consumer services website Bankrate.com found that Colorado is the eighth-hardest state in the nation for first-time home buyers. Prices are up and inventory is down — way down. Listings of single-family homes and condominiums in the metro area hit an all-time low in February of 3,878 units, according to a report released March 3 by the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. January numbers from DMAR showed Denver County’s inventory of single-family homes plummeted, down 44.9 percent from 2016. In Jefferson County, available single-family homes dropped by 38.9 percent, and Arapahoe and Adams counties saw decreases of 34.2 and 32.1 percent, respectively. Douglas County’s inventory decreased 27.8 percent. Castle Rock Realtor Sandi Zimmerman doesn’t need to see the numbers to know there’s a lack of available homes.
Lone Tree: $847,450 (+20.4 percent) Golden: $515,000 (+4 percent) Highlands Ranch: $445,000 (+5.3 percent) Parker: $431,250 (-1.6 percent) Centennial: $425,000 (+9 percent) Littleton: $409,750 (+7.7 percent) Castle Rock: $405,000 (+2.5 percent) Bob Costello, a real estate agent based in Highlands Ranch, stands outside a house he owns and uses as a rental property. Costello says clients are using unconventional methods to get the advantage over others in the market, such as writing personal letters to sellers. TOM SKELLEY
Purchasers who fix, flip and sell squeeze families out of the market
Arvada: $380,000 (+13.4 percent) Lakewood: $380,000 (+8.1 percent) Metro average: $380,000 (+10 percent) Denver: $370,000 (+10.4 percent) Wheat Ridge: $363,000 (-5.7 percent) Thornton: $342,480 (+8.7 percent) Westminster: $337,000 (+12.7 percent) Englewood: $335,000 (+4.9 percent) Aurora: $319,000 (+11.9 percent) Northglenn: $291,250 (+16 percent)
“There’s nothing out there,” she said. Zimmerman has had success finding homes for clients over the last couple of years, but it wasn’t easy. One family she worked with throughout most of last year wrote seven contracts before closing. “Be ready and be patient — those are really the two things you have to do,” she said. “This process could take six months.” Prices are rising, wages aren’t Patrick Holwell, workforce econo-
mist for Arapahoe/Douglas Works, said there’s a gap between home prices and incomes in the region, and that gap is widening. “People who aspire to own a home are looking at it going steadily out of their reach,” Holwell said. “Their income isn’t growing as fast as home prices.” In January, the median sales price of a single-family home in the metro area was $380,000, up 10 percent from a year ago, according to DMAR. According to data Holwell compiled from the U.S. Census Bureau, a grow-
ing number of potential buyers across the region can’t afford a new home. Prices are out of range for at least 205,000 households in Denver. In Jefferson County, a minimum of 150,891households are stuck where they are. At least 98,903 Adams County households and 134,818 Arapahoe County households are priced out, while Douglas County had at least 50,714 households not making enough to buy a home. Robert Smith, Lakewood’s economic development director, said the cost burden of owning or renting in today’s market has consequences that ripple through the local economy. More income spent on rent or mortgage payments means less money for eating out, shopping and other discretionary spending. “Cost burden affects not only an individual household’s quality of life,” Smith said via email. It “also affects the business community that depends on their spending.” Another strain on the household budget is money spent on gas and bus fare. “Households that do buy in this market are forced either to enter a cost-burdened situation or find less SEE HOUSING, P7

BUSINESS
Q&A with Robert Golden, South Metro Chamber of Commerce president/CEO Colorado Community Media reporter Stephanie Mason interviewed Robert Golden, president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, about the impact of rising home prices on the area. How has the rising cost of single-family homes affected the south metro Denver economy? This is a statewide issue, but specifically in our south metro area, the situation we are in now is historically low inventories of not just single-family homes, but of townhomes and multiunit dwellings. Yet, there is a tremendous demand because so many people are coming to Colorado and, particularly, Denver and the Front Range. It is a low-supply and high-demand market. What we are finding is that with businesses relocating and expanding in the south metro area, it is difficult for them to relocate their companies if they cannot find places for employees
to live. They are finding out that it is very difficult to approach their employees and tell them that the housing market is very expensive and it is hard to find a house. That is a significant economic impact. I have a millennial son who makes a good income and wants to buy a home, but he cannot find a condominium or a townhome, so he is getGolden ting discouraged. How important is a healthy housing market to the economy? When a small family buys a house, they are putting roots down. They decide that, say, Centennial, is where they are going to raise their family, make friends and spend their money. When you rent — and I am not criticizing people who rent — it is not permanent and not putting down roots.
Home ownership creates community. Because the south metro area is growing so much from a business perspective and people are relocating, opening or expanding their businesses here, people need a place to live within reasonable distance. How can construction-defects legislation improve the housing situation in the south metro area and beyond? We firmly believe that it is one of our legislative priorities that construction litigation reform will stimulate the housing market from a construction standpoint, particularly more inventory being built in the condominium and townhouse, multi-unit market. We believe that there needs to be changes in the litigation environment. We don’t advocate that homeowners shouldn’t have rights. If you have legitimate claims against a builder, the law should protect you. What we are
HOUSING
advocating for are modifications to the legal rights and the litigation that can be brought against homeowners and developers. Do wages need to rise in the metro area in order to keep up with housing and rental costs? Under the current circumstances, yeah. What will the long-term impact be of high housing costs in the south metro area? Will the current trend continue or will prices level out? I’ve always believed that as the housing market goes, the economy goes and vice versa. We are starting to see stabilization in the housing market. Prices are creeping up a little bit, but the prices have stabilized to an extent. There is still a long way to go. I do not foresee a housing crisis or a housing crash coming any time soon.

expensive housing farther from their place of work,” Smith said, “which in turn leads to greater spending on transportation.” Bubble or balance? Memories of the housing market crash of 2008 are still on the minds of real estate agents, officials and homeowners. Most avoid using the word “bubble,” but rising home values and readily-available mortgage loans are nonetheless raising some eyebrows. Aside from preventing first-time buyers from owning a home, Smith said there are other potential downsides to a housing market in which home prices continually escalate. The worst of these, he said, would be an inevitable shortage of labor, a perennial problem in Colorado’s mountain resorts. Still, he isn’t worried about a collapse. “All markets will rise and fall,” Smith said. “It is tempting to look back a decade ago, then view the current rising housing market and fear a
Realtor Sandi Zimmerman and her assistant Milissa Duckworth look at local home prices in her Castle Rock office. Zimmerman says she has to advise some clients to look outside of their preferred area and be ready to view a house at a moment’s notice to get their offers in. TOM SKELLEY bursting bubble will not be far behind.” The market goes through 10-year cycles of low availability and high prices, Smith said, but a crash like 2008’s only happens “once in several decades.” He said the region is in its seventh year of the 10-year cycle, and apartment vacancy rates are increasing, indicating the market will level out. Zimmerman agrees that the area is in the seventh year of a cycle, but after 38 years in the real estate business, she’s not as confident in the outcome.
“This is my third time of seeing this,” she said, “I wish I had a crystal ball… I don’t know how much longer this is going to last.” An annual uptick in permits for new homes, easy availability of loans and the cyclical nature of the real estate business give caution to her optimism. “Normally, about the end of seven years you’re seeing that it’s going to stop or plateau or start to come back down,” she said. “What goes up must come down.”

Senate bill would require arbitration, vote procedures BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
While mayors around the metro area are backing a state legislative effort restricting construction defects lawsuits that they say discourage the building of attainable housing — such as condominiums and townhomes — critics say it would take away a homeowner’s right to use the court system. Senate Bill 156, which passed the Senate on March 7, would require homeowner associations to obtain the written consent of a majority of
owners in the association before filing a defects lawsuit, as well as disclose the projected cost of the claim and enter into third-party arbitration. According to the Homeownership Opportunity Alliance, a group favoring the bill, as few as two homeowners can file a class action lawsuit on behalf of an HOA. State Rep. Cole Wist, R-Centennial, who is sponsoring the bill in the House, said the status quo has prevented condos from being built. “In 2005, condos comprised 20 percent of the metro Denver new housing market,” he said. “While lawyers made money, today that number has plummeted to 2 percent.” SEE LEGISLATION, P24

Clergy joined the Castle Rock communty in recognition of Ash Wednesday on March 1 by standing on the corner of Wilcox and Fourth Streets to mark people’s foreheads with ash. The event, Ashes to Go, drew 75 people last year and nearly 140 this year. Participating clergy and churches were Fr. Brian Winter and Fr. Harold Warren from Christ’s Episcopal Church in Castle Rock, 615 Fourth St.; Rev. Julie McNitt from Well of Hope Lutheran Church, coming soon to Castle Rock; and Rev. Janet Fullmer and Fr. Tom Reed from St. Philip in the Field Episcopal Church in Sedalia, 1613 North Perry Park Road.
Brian Winter, Priest in Charge at Christ’s Episcopal Church in Castle Rock, said clergy saw a mix of old and new faces at the Ashes to Go event March 1. “It’s been amazing,” Winter said.

Kids Are Kids in Castle Rock celebrates second anniversary Learning academy for children looking to grow BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lawrence and Cathy Paulson, now owners of two Kids Are Kids academies, left careers in corporate America after enrolling their youngest child in a Texas location of the program. That’s what they don’t think people understand, the Paulsons said. The two began as Kids Are Kids customers. They’re believers in the educational philosophy. Kids Are Kids is a nationwide academy offering educational services to children from infancy to 12 years old, including before- and after-school programs. The Paulsons opened their first location in Texas in 2006. Their second location in Castle Rock will celebrate its second anniversary on March 10. The Castle Rock curriculum includes sign language for infants, interactive activities with Smartboard technology and pre-kindergarten education. Kerri Hanson, who instructs a prekindergarten class at Kids Are Kids, moved to Castle Rock in 2010. She’d previously taught in Houston’s public school system for five years, and after coming to Castle Rock, joined the Kids Are Kids program.

Kerri Hanson leads her pre-kindergarten class through story time on March 1.
“It’s a little bit different but I love it,” she said. Unlike in public school, where she only had students for a few hours, Hanson is with her class for the entire day, including breakfast and dinner. On March 1, Hanson’s 4- to 5-year-
olds buzzed around her, excited after a day of painting. Her students were learning about the different times of day. On Feb. 28, they’d studied dusk, and on March 1, they explored night. Before each student was a watercolor interpretation of what nighttime
Study: Low health risk found in oil-gas air pollution so far BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS
Colorado officials who reviewed thousands of air samples and a dozen studies on air pollution from oil and gas sites said recently the risk of harmful human effects appears to be low, but they stressed that more study is needed. “The main message (is not) that we didn’t find anything,” said Mike Van Dyke of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “It would be, so far we didn’t find anything.” The department looked at more than 10,000 air measurements taken between 2008 and 2015 in two of the state’s most active oil and gas areas, the Denver-Julesburg Basin in northeastern Colorado and the Piceance Basin in western Colorado. The measurements showed pollution levels didn’t exceed short- and long-term exposure standards set by the federal government, or by various state governments if no federal standards existed, Van Dyke said. The department also reviewed 12 studies completed between 2013 and this year that looked at potential human health problems related to
living near oil and gas sites. The studies were done in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Australia The evidence from the health studies was limited but didn’t indicate a need to take any immediate action, the department’s report said. The studies were preliminary in nature and weren’t designed to definitively establish or rule out a link between oil and gas sites and health problems, Van Dyke said. That would require a multi-year study costing more than $1 million — the type usually funded by the federal government and conducted by a university, not a health department, he said. Experts at the Colorado School of Public Health, which wasn’t involved in the health department review, had not read the results and weren’t ready to comment, spokeswoman Tonya Ewers said. The health department is working on another study of health risks based on research by a Colorado State University professor, who tested air pollution from wells in western Colorado and along the Front Range. That study is expected early next year.

Greater hope and deeper faith are needed in a world crimped by fear WINNING WORDS
Michael Norton
T
here is a quote by William Shakespeare, “A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once. It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.” We seem to live in a fear-based world these days. The question is why? What is it that we are fearing most? Is it the economy? Is it a fear that there are wars raging in the world and soon enough we could have a war right here? Is it a fear based on the wars and battles that are going in right here already? Political battles, the war on political correctness, the war on drugs, and the war we
wage within ourselves as we strive to get by? Most of us have probably heard the phrase, “Hope is not a strategy.” Maybe, maybe not, I think it becomes a matter of personal belief and the role that hope plays in our lives. I believe that although hope might not be a strategy for everyone, we all must have a strategy of hope. Without hope, fear can easily consume our thoughts and actions. Zig Ziglar turned the word fear into an acronym and he said, “Fear, FEAR, stands for False Evidence Appearing Real.” So how do we know what is real and what is false? Some of us are consumed with reality TV,

which in many times isn’t reality at all and has been scripted or staged to enhance the entertainment value. And as we live at a time when we can have instant access to anything and everything in the world via our news feeds, we now must also decide what is “real” news and what is “fake” news. So as we watch these reality shows and when we are watching or reading the news, aren’t we watching or reading with some amount of hope? We are typically rooting for something good or bad to happen to one of the characters or people living out their

went to the grocery store. At the entrance, they have a Purell dispenser and towelettes. First I wiped off the dispenser with some Purell and a towelette, and then I did the same thing to my hands. Finally, I did the same thing to the entire cart. You’ve got to. This is the Land of Milk and Cooties. You never know. Someone might have been in the store with some “baby oil,” like that Nam Jong Nam suspect. Swabbing the cart took about an hour, but it was worth it. I came home in perfect health. I am more careful with everything these days. There are germs everywhere, just waiting. Remember Jack Nicholson in “As Good as It Gets”? He took his own plastic knives, forks and spoons into his favorite restaurant. To be honest, I am actually not very vigilant, so you can throw out the part about the Purell. I have never used it in my life. But I watched a man go through roughly the same ablutions I described, and then he walked over to produce and picked out a russet potato. Do you know where potatoes
come from? They come from the earth. In France they are called “pommes de terre.” Apples of the earth. The Purell routines I Craig Marshall have witSmith nessed remind me of the chopsticks routines I have witnessed, which seem slightly phony. Chopsticks are rubbed together, sometimes with the vigor of a Boy Scout who is trying to start a fire. This is never done in Japan. In fact, it is offensive to the Japanese diners with whom I have spoken. “Splinters. I don’t want splinters in my tongue,” one American diner told me. I don’t rub, and I have yet to be splintered.

Business, healthcare issues are in spotlight at General Assembly
E
very week here at the Capitol, we must maneuver through a slew of new legislation. Many of these bills are being peddled as benign, but in reality, they would work to reverse certain positive trends we’ve accomplished since the beginning of the term. Like I’ve said before, the best thing the government can do for the economy is get out of the way. It is vital that legislators perform due diligence before casting a vote on any new legislation. Our government is designed to emphasize the people’s voice and diminish the federal voice — so even a single vote has weight and should be carefully placed. As some of you may know, I was recently appointed to the Health Equity Commission and Child Fatality Review Team, so that I might help ensure the integrity and quality of state services. Those appointments are important, and I have been attentively sharing my time between the Capitol and individual constituent needs. One particular concern of mine, as it directly affects our constituents’ livelihoods and abilities to thrive, has

been the availability and effectiveness of Colorado healthcare. As your state senator for District 4 (Castle Rock, Parker, Castle Pines, Larkspur, Franktown), I am leading the movement to repeal the Colorado Health Benefit Exchange. I Jim Smallwood am sponsoring Senate Bill 17-003 “Repeal of Colorado Health Benefit Exchange Act” with House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, who resides in Castle Rock. The bill has been assigned to the Senate Appropriations Committee, where it likely will pass and then be sent to the Senate floor for second and third readings where it is likely to pass as well. After that, it will end up in the House. Other states including Nevada and Kentucky have had lots of success with similar legislative changes, and I am looking forward to the chance to give Coloradans a break and make those same positive changes here.
I am also the Senate sponsor for HB17-1052. This bill charges the Colorado Department of Human Services and the Child Welfare Allocations Committee to develop more flexible formulas that directly affect the population of children in need of child welfare services. It is important to have those closest to the issue be most involved to allocating resources. Additionally, I have been busy supporting SB17-001, an opportunity for both parties to invest in the success of small businesses. I am thrilled that it has passed the Senate, and is currently in the House. Tim Neville and Patrick Neville sponsored this bill because, as legislators, we see that there is too much red tape limiting small businesses from growing and creating more jobs. We want to hack away at some of the legal brush so that Colorado businesses can thrive and hire more employees. Small businesses are the heart of
the Colorado economy, and it’s time that our legislature is supportive rather than an obstacle. Over the past month, I have been meeting with constituents and listening to their concerns offering solutions and directing them to the proper department that can help. Most recently, I met with the fourth-grade class from Soaring Hawk Elementary, Castle Rock. I had the chance to discuss civic service, answer their questions, and take selfies. If you would like to raise a concern, ask a question, or provide input, please do not hesitate to reach out to me anytime at 303-866-4869 or by email: senatorsmallwood@gmail. com.

There are hazardous materials and lots of airborne dust in a ceramics studio. Rodger, like me, worked without gloves or a mask. David Vetter, the “Bubble Boy,” was only 12 when he died. He was born with severe combined immunodeficiency, and had to live in a plastic bubble his entire life.

KANE FROM PAGE 12
Since then, my team and I have put those concerns right out there in the middle of the room, and are working to address them one by one. However, it has become clear that there is a particularly large elephant in the room: funding. Before this turns into a traditional school district complaint about needing more money (who hasn’t heard that one before?), I want to express my commitment to use every single taxpayer dollar responsibly. Coming from the charter school world, I know a great deal about tight budgets and the importance of doing more

for less, while putting students first. Although declining education funding is a challenge shared by school districts across our state, it has become painfully clear that DCSD’s funding gap compared to our neighboring school districts is unique. It’s putting our district at an enormous disadvantage when it comes to teacher retention and student programming. In particular, that disadvantage translates to $100 million a year in funding imbalance when compared to Cherry Creek School District. We are dealing with a seriously big elephant, but someone recently reminded me that the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. So, my team and I have rolled
up our sleeves and begun. As a result of our initial efforts, I am thrilled to share that we will be sending $8.65 million more to our schools next year to help offset unavoidable reductions due to increased costs and lower enrollment. We started by introducing zero-based budgeting to our school district. In previous years, departments were allowed to carry over any remaining funds in their budgets and they were allocated the same (or more) dollars in the next school year. Now we are purposefully focusing on needs and priorities, rather than just carrying over dollars. It is a bit like blowing the whole thing up and starting over, but it’s the best way to ensure that we are using every
dollar consciously and intentionally. We have reorganized, cut central administration positions and tightened central expense lines. As the budgeting process moves forward, we will continue to cinch everything with an eye towards funding pay increases. The budget will be finalized in the spring. A successful school begins with great school leaders, teachers and staff. Successful school districts focus on valuing and retaining those great teachers, principals and support staff. For my part, I am committed to making sure our staff, families and community have the latest information about our situation, the decisions
my staff and I are making, and why we are making them. I want you to have confidence that your tax money is being invested wisely and in the best interest of our schools and students. Yes, we have challenges (and elephants) right now in DCSD. But we also have all the ingredients required to be one of the most amazing school districts in this country. Together we can get there, one bite at a time.
is to prepare the students to enter the public or private school system. They’re learning to wash hands in the bathroom. They practice numbers, colors and letters. They learn to share space and wait patiently. “We’re trying to also keep their imagination the way it should be as a child. Free and excited to be in school,” Hanson said.
Across the building was Austin Wickes, a former Montessori teacher who now cares for the 2-year-old students at Kids Are Kids. Everything is hands-on, she said. They work with PlayDoh and go outside to feel the snow. The toddlers also learn sign language as a way to communicate. Just the basics, Wickes said, such as ‘mom’ and ‘dad.’
Most of all, Wickes tries to foster the youngsters’ curiosity. “If they’re curious about something that’s what we’ll do today,” she said March 1. “Most of our toys for today are building toys, which have become throwing toys.” It’s a go-with-the-flow type of atmosphere. “My goal if I can do anything at this age is to make
them want to learn and explore,” she said. In its first two years, Kids Are Kids in Castle Rock built a facility from the ground up and filled it with kid-loving staff and children of all ages. In the year to come, the Paulsons hope to build a stronger relationship with the community, so the academy can continue to grow.

Quiz nights bring interaction to pubs
Caution Brewing in Lakewood hosts Geeks Who Drink quiz night every Tuesday.
Denver metro area is largest market for Geeks Who Drink quizzes BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Quiz nights at Grist Brewing Co. in Highlands Ranch are high energy. The combination of a running club, a food truck and an average of eight to 10 teams racking their brains for the correct answers to trivia questions makes Wednesday nights at Grist beer tender Stephanie Owen’s favorite night to work. “I was a quiz regular before I started working here on Wednesday nights,” Owen said. “I’m a huge random knowledge geek. I’ve got a lot of random useless knowledge.” Grist has hosted a trivia night weekly since opening its doors three years ago. About six months ago, the brewery switched from hosting an independent trivia company to hosting Geeks who Drink. Grist is one of 700 weekly Geeks Who Drink events in 41 states. Geeks Who Drink launched in 2006 in Denver and has grown into the largest trivia company in the nation. The homegrown pub trivia quiz is modeled
after those in Ireland and the U.K. and covers everything from celebrities in trouble to wordplay to bad television. “We have relatively humble beginnings,” said Ken Brill, director of public relations and marketing for Geeks Who Drink. “We were founded simply because trivia in the area kind of stunk.” Brill said what separates the Geeks from other trivia formats is the focus on social interaction. “The thing that’s helped us the most is we take a light-hearted approach to trivia,” Brill said. “We like to think of ourselves more of an evening of entertainment rather than stumping players with hardest questions.” Brill said that although the Geeks’ chief editor is a six-time “Jeopardy” champion, they aren’t looking to only attract people who take the “Jeopardy” entrance exam regularly. “We’re looking for folks who want to have a good time and hang with friends,” Brill said. “We try to keep it as broad as possible to appeal to everyone on the team. We’re going to try to hit on every one area of expertise every night.” This is one reason why trivia enthusiast Brian Harshman, 37, plays quiz nights at Caution Brewery in Lakewood regularly. “We have a lot of fun and it’s nice and challenging,” said Harshman, who excels in the music category.

His quiz teammate, Jason Rhine, 32, said music is the only category he lacks knowledge in. Rhine found quiz night while in college and has continued to play since. “It’s a good balance of being able to talk and chill, but also have something to do while you’re here,” said Rhine, a Lakewood resident. Caution is one of several Geeks Who Drink sites in the Denver metro area. “One of our largest presence is concentrated here in Denver,” said Stefani Thomas, Colorado regional manager for Geeks Who Drink. Thomas started as a quiz master with Geeks six years ago and transitioned into the full-time position two years ago. She has hosted quizzes at almost 50 venues in Colorado, everywhere from Denver to the mountains and Colorado Springs. She regularly hosts at Denver
Bicycle Cafe in Denver. “I like the back and forth between the host and the quizzers,” Thomas said. “Once you have regulars coming to your quiz, you really have the opportunity to connect with them. You know things happening in their life and it becomes beyond just a person mechanically reading questions over the mic. Those people become your family and friends.” One personal connection Thomas made was with a quizzer at Beau Jo’s in Denver. When that quizzer died of cancer, his family invited Thomas to host a tribute quiz at his wake. “It was cool and unusual,” Thomas said. “We laughed and played quiz. If I ever had to have something like that planned for me, I’d hope it would as fun and a great gathering for people.”

There are two types of alpacas: the fluffy huacaya, the more common (about 90 percent), and the suri, with its silky fleece that grows in pencil locks. Both like to be part of a group and communicate with a soft hum at times. The owners association, which includes a national registry of ani-
mals, was incorporated in 1991 and is located in Lincoln, Nebraska. It has about 6,000 members and more than 250,000 alpacas registered. Some alpaca owners maintain a retail store to sell their products and those created by other fiber artists.

Site-specific installations by 13 Latino artists shown in Denver ‘Mi Tierra’ exhibition has been long time in the making
IF YOU GO
BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Mi Tierra” has been three or four years in the making, according to Denver Art Museum Director Christoph Heinrich, inspired to an extent by the experience of “Embrace,” which challenged artists to design site-specific works as feedback in the then-new Hamilton Building, with its angles and oddly shaped display spaces. “Mi Tierra: Contemporary Artists Explore Place,” in the fourth-floor gallery through Oct. 22, is the first major exhibit curated by Rebecca Hart, new curator of modern and contemporary art. Thirteen emerging and mid-career Latino artists were invited to create site-specific installations that express experiences of a contemporary life in the American West, near the border, in Mexico, in Latin America, Hart said. “Some worked in the public eye the last three months,” she said. (As with “Embrace,” the public was invited to watch as installations were created, and talk with the artists.) “Place, home, country, borders, migration, labor, memory, visibility, displacement, expected and not, traditional and not. Diverse creative voices to the front,” Hart said.
“MI TIERRA: CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS EXPLORE PLACE” fills the fourth floor of the Hamilton Building, Denver Art Museum, on 13th Avenue, a block west of Broadway. Admission is included with general admission to the Museum. (Children visit free.) A catalog of the exhibit was still at the printer when we visited, since many of these works were “in progress” until shortly before opening and not ready for the photographer, but there will be a bilingual catalog available in the Museum Shops soon, lending more insight into the 13 artists represented. Denverartmuseum.org. “No single viewpoint can represent being Latino in America today.” Hart arrived in Denver 18 months ago and Latino leaders helped her, as did a committee of advisors. The all new large scale installations are in many media—“some bilingual, some dissonant, some harmonious …” The entire fourth floor is filled by “Mi Tierra” and each installation is distinctive and in most cases, colorful. As one enters from the elevator, Los Angeles sculptor Ruben Ochoa’s galvanized metal and concrete, ”Ever since I was little, it looked like fun” a large, abstract piece that looks ready to move along with one, dominates the initial view into the gallery. Walk on in toward the distinctive prow of the building to find light from the narrow window shimmering on Gabriel Dawe’s intricate, extensive “Plexus No. 36,” which required many

Justin Favela, Las Vegas, created “Friedlandia,” a brilliantly hued and remarkable fantasy garden made with colored paper strips and glue that really invites the visitor to stroll inside. By contrast, Los Angeles artist Carmen Argote’s “Live/Work” shows a tightly-organized conglomeration of cabinets, school work, photos, fabric, artwork. Not a spare inch anywhere. Mexican American Denver resident Dimitri Obergfell `s creation is called “Federal Fashion Mart,” in a cube based on small markets found in Denver’s Latino neighborhoods, filled with clothing, polished auto accessories, speakers, beer, cosmetics (a set

Parker Days lands rocker Bret Michaels BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For three years running, the Parker Area Chamber of Commerce festival has sought to sign a nationally-known headliner for the Parker Days kickoff concert. And for the third year in a row, they’ve succeeded, lining up Bret Michaels to get things started for the 2017 event. “You want somebody who’s going to be a showstopper, and that’s something he definitely brings,” said Sara Crowe, director of special projects for the chamber. “Obviously, we know he’s been around for a while, but he’s just a really good performer.” Bret Michaels, best known as the lead singer of ’80s glam rock quartet Poison, will get the party started this year on June 8, the first night of the Parker Days festival. Michaels’ biggest hits with the group were the ballad
“Every Rose has its Thorn,” “Talk Dirty to Me” and “Nothin’ but a Good Time.” Reality TV fans will also recognize him as the star of VH1’s “Rock of Love.” Crowe said advanced ticket sales are already exceeding last year’s, when southern rock band 38 Special performed to start Parker’s big weekend. Attendance and advance sales last year topped 2015’s numbers, when Rick Springfield was the first big-name act to headline the kickoff concert. The June 8 concert begins at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at parkerdaysfestival. com and are $35 for general admission and $100 for VIP seating, which includes two drinks and access to the front of the stage. Convenience charges will be applied to all tickets, and concert tickets do not include admission to Parker Days carnival rides.

COUNCIL FROM PAGE 1
Town Council meeting. Construction work would comprise the remaining $54 million of the development’s price tag. The site also has no utilities, one of the many “really, really significant challenges” to developing the property, said Springer, who gave a presentation about the project at the meeting. Town council gave initial approval to a public finance agreement with P3 Advisors with a 4-1 vote. A second and final approval is needed to approve the public finance agreement. The next council meeting was the night of March 7, after the News-Press’ deadline. At the Feb. 21 meeting, District 4 Councilmember Jason Bower expresesed concerns about the project. Although the dump needs to go, he said, so much retail space could begin a “cannibalism” effect on areas like downtown Castle Rock by stealing business from the mom-and-pop stores. “We have a lot of retail in Castle Rock right now,” he said. “We have a lot of retail that still is not here, but that’s planned to go in.” Miller’s Landing would be about the
size of the Promenade at Castle Rock, a shopping and entertainment center between I-25 and U.S. Highway 85. A list of potential business or retail tenants is not available. But P3 Advisors, a Chicago-based development firm specializing in public-private partnerships, says it expects to build 450,000 square feet of office space and 300,000 square feet of retail. The flagship component to the project is a full-service hotel, no smaller than 250 rooms with a 10,000-squarefoot conference center. Springer said the company hopes to attract a large hotel. “I understand what you’re saying about the retail because I’ve struggled with that myself,” Mayor Pro Tem Renee Valentine told Bower. “I’m excited about the office space.” Valentine also said that based on her previous career opening Marriott conference centers, she believes the local market needs a hotel with just over 200 rooms with a 10,000- to 12,000-squarefoot conference room, and that overall, the project would benefit the town. Miller’s Landing would also include an expansion of Plum Creek Parkway, a new connector roadway, and public parking that would serve the property and provide overfill space for Philip S. Miller Park, home to attractions such as Castle Rock Zip Line Tours, trail networks and the Miller Activity
Complex. And the project will construct a trail extension alongside the remediation of a gulch forming the land’s northern border. The gulch may be transformed into a greenway or riverwalk. Downtown business owners already fear the pending effects of the Promenade development near the outlets, Bower said at the council meeting. The unfinished Promenade is still too new to offer data about its effects on businesses throughout town. Miller’s Landing has been about two years in the making between developers and town staff. Last year, the town council approved forming a Business Improvement District, a designation that allows property owners to tax themselves, and rezoning the land to allow for mixed-use development. At the Feb. 21 meeting, where council approved the public finance agreement, Bower was the lone dissenter. Councilmembers George Teal and Brett Ford were absent. It was one of the council’s first looks at more specific development plans on the site. The public finance agreement would allow the Business Improvement District to issue bonds for the project. Those bonds would be formed by four components: a Business Improvement District mill levy, an Urban Renewal Authority property tax, a public improvement fee imposed by
the developer and a Credit PIF, or a share of the town’s sales tax revenue generated on-site. Bower noted the developers were asking for 60 percent shareback of sales taxes and 100 percent shareback of the incremental property tax — a big ask, he said. The shareback terms do not commit town funds to the project, but rather future revenue generated by the project. He and District 1 Councilmember Jess Loban also inquired with town staff about community outreach for the project. Although issues related to Miller’s Landing have been discussed at numerous council meetings, and the developer held a public meeting concerning land uses, Town Manager Dave Corliss said they did not have a specific public outreach plan concerning the project. Councilmembers then asked at the Feb. 21 meeting when a third-party evaluation of the project would be available. That report would evaluate numbers provided by the developer and conduct a market analysis to determine the project’s feasibility. Although not completed by the first reading, Corliss said a third-party evaluation of the project by the Denver-based EPS consulting firm should be available by March 7.

‘We push them, we challenge them’ Fitness franchise Burn Boot Camp opens first Colorado location BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A new boot camp just put down stakes in Parker, but don’t look for tents or flags outside. Owned and operated by husband and wife Carman and Sarah Ragatz, Burn Boot Camp opened a location at 12840 Stroh Ranch Court on Feb. 20, bringing a high-energy, supportive approach to fitness. The gym’s only been open a week, but Carman says clients are already seeing results, like being able to do push-ups on their toes. “We push them, we challenge them,” he says, “but it’s like a triumph for the entire gym community as a whole seeing them do it.” The coaching from Sarah and fellow trainer Duvi Vargas blares over up-tempo music from loudspeakers throughout the gym, pushing the participants to push themselves, while maintaining a positive atmosphere. A runner who avoided gyms by nature, Sarah joined a Burn location in North Carolina in February 2016 to get back in shape after a lengthy hiatus from exercise. She said the supportive, fun experience surpassed her expectations.

“From day one, I noticed there was something different there,” she says. “The workouts were different every day, the atmosphere was different. Everybody was high-fiving each other … I fell in love with it.” The “community of ladies” Sarah worked out with motivated her to keep coming back, and eventually she and Carman decided to make a career with their own Burn franchise. They moved to Parker with their four children in November and have been putting what free time they have into the gym. The 30-minute camps are organized in groups, but tailored to individual clients. Each member receives personalized focus meetings with one of the trainers to outline their fitness goals. Some camps are open to men and women, but Carman and Sarah say the gym’s communal atmosphere, and free child care during workouts, makes it especially appealing to female clients. The community atmosphere that begins in the gym continues on its Facebook page, administered by Sarah. The page contains information on schedules, upcoming camps and deals, such as membership discount of $30 for 30 days, available until March 20. Carman says Sarah also shares client testimonials, messages of encouragement and success stories to the page, to “keep the community going outside of the gym.” “That’s why we’re doing this,” he says. “And it’s only the beginning.”

Williams of Thornton, Cathy Noon of Centennial, Jackie Millet of Lone Tree, Marc Williams of Arvada, Herb Atchison of Westminster and Daniel Dick of Federal Heights. Paul said that he had envisioned owner-occupied housing surrounding the Lakewood’s seven light rail stations. “At those seven stops right now, what we’ve seen is apartments, apartments and apartments,” he said. Millet said that over the last 10 years, 2,000 housing units have been built in Lone Tree, but only 93 have been for-sale condos. “The entry-level home just doesn’t exist in our community and I think that’s a shame,” she said. But critics of SB 156 say there is no proof that construction defects lawsuits are behind the lack of entrylevel condos. A group opposing the construction defect reform efforts, Build Our Homes Right, says the bill would shift private arbitration costs to homeowners, although their taxes support the court system. Build Our Homes Right Chairman Jonathan Harris said that arbitration gives the power to developers rather than homeowners. Shortly after buying his condo in Denver in 2004, he said he noticed water leaking around doors and window. “They did some patches, and it would rain again and they’d do more
patches,” he said. His condo board finally settled a lawsuit against the developer, builder and architecture firm in 2012 for an undisclosed amount. “I understand we need condominiums,” he said. “But I don’t think we need poor-quality condominiums.” Peg Rudden, 68, a condo owner who favors SB 156, said that she has medical bills to pay and has been unable to apply for a home equity line of credit on her Centennial condo, which is nearly paid off, due to ongoing litigation. “I was not aware of a lock on my home,” she said, staing she was denied the line of credit due to the litigation against the builder of her condo. “I was not aware of the construction defects.” SB 156 is similar to ordinances passed in several municipalities around the metro area in recent years, including those in Denver, Littleton, Lakewood, Lone Tree, Parker, Westminster, Centennial, Castle Rock, Wheat Ridge and Arvada. But Noon, the Centennial mayor, said the patchwork of local laws has not solved the problem, leaving developers wary. “Do you come in, in an industry and in a state, that you have left years ago, and come in and do one project in the city of Centennial, under one set of rules, and one project in Lone Tree, and one in Arvada?” she said.

Rock Canyon tips Grandview in thriller Jaguars score four points in less than five seconds to advance to Final Four

Coaches and teammates surround Rock Canyon’s Nick Janedis as he falls to the floor in joy after hitting the last second tip-in to give the Jaguars the 42-40 win in the Great 8 on March 4 at the Denver Coliseum. PAUL DISALVO
South metro boys basketball playoff roundup for 5A, 4A STAFF REPORT
Three teams from Highlands Ranch, Rock Canyon, ThunderRidge and Valor Christian, will be playing in boys Final Four semifinals games on March 10 at the Denver Coliseum. The Jaguars, seeded fifth, will face top-seeded Eaglecrest in an 8:30 p.m. game and will attempt to earn their second win over the Raptors this season. Rock Canyon (23-3) beat Eaglecrest (22-4) 60-55 on Dec. 6. Second-seeded ThunderRidge (24-2) will challenge third-seeded George Washington (24-2) in a 7 p.m. contest at the Coliseum. The Grizzlies own a 71-61 win over the Patriots in an earlier game played on Jan. 6. Valor Christian, the top-seeded Class 4A team, will be trying to make it into the state finals for the second straight season when the Eagles (22-4) face No. 12 Golden (197) in a 4 p.m. game. Valor beat the Demons twice during the Jefferson County 4A League season. Here’s a look at the road to the Final Four:
Lakewood’s playoff run honors former star
here were less than 30 seconds left in Lakewood’s 61-49 upset victory over top-seeded Highlands Ranch in the girls Class 5A basketball quarterfinal state playoff game when Tigers center Camilla Emsbo started crying. They were tears of OVERTIME joy and tears of remembrance for former Lakewood standout Mackenzie Forrest, who died in an automobile accident on March 13, 2016. “This was for Little Mac (Forrest),” Emsbo said. “I started crying with like 20 seconds Jim Benton left. Everybody knows she is up there and I’m so happy. This was all she wanted. I’m so glad we could give it to her.” Emsbo, a 6-foot-4 junior, wore different colored socks in the March 3 game. “That was her thing, crazy socks,” she said. “We didn’t all wear them tonight but home games we all have crazy socks. I wanted to keep it going.” In the Final Four, Lakewood plays Cherry Creek at 8:30 p.m. March 9 at the Denver Coliseum.

Rock Canyon junior Sam Masten remembers watching Chaparral’s Josh Adams’ last-second tip-in that beat Arapahoe in overtime 69-67 in the 2012 Class 5A state championship game at the Coors Events Center. Masten had a key role in a lastsecond victory that was reminiscent of Chaparral’s win when the fifth-seeded Jaguars edged No.4 Grandview, 42-40, on Nick Janedis’ tip-in as the final buzzer sounded in a thrilling March 4 Class 5A state tournament quarterfinal game at the Denver Coliseum. “I used to go to every single Final Four and Great 8 like from sixth to 10th grade,” Masten said. “It was really cool to get to play in a Great 8 game, and our game reminded me a lot of that championship game. It was crazy.” Rock Canyon trailed 40-38 with 19.5 seconds remaining. Colin Rardin made the tying basket for the Jaguars with 4.7 seconds
March 9, 2017M
Quarterfinal games Rock Canyon 42, Grandview 40: Colin Rardin scored on a hook shot with 4.7 seconds remaining to pull the Jaguars into a 40-40 tie with the fifth-seeded Wolves. Sam Masten stole the ball after a Grandview inbounds pass and attempted a layup but the ball didn’t fall. Nick Janedis followed and tipped the ball into the bucket. The basket counted as the buzzer sounded. ThunderRidge 72, Chatfield 64: Kaison Hammonds scored 30 points as the Grizzlies ended a 23game Chargers winning streak to advance to the Final Four for the eighth time in school history. Valor Christian 60, Mead 51: Senior Jaylen Sanders scored 27 points, had nine rebounds, four assists and three steals in the win over No. 9 Mead. Kayle Knuckles added 16 points for the Eagles. Sweet 16 games Rock Canyon 59, Far Northeast 40: Masten scored 27 points, which included 21 in the second half, when the Jaguars broke open a close game and rolled to a victory. ThunderRidge 87, Rampart 66:
Senior Ryan Holt led four scorers in double figures with 21 points in the Grizzlies’ triumph. Valor Christian 74, Mesa Ridge 55: Sanders had a double-double of 32 points and 16 rebounds in the Eagles’ Class 4A third round victory. Chatfield 67, Cherry Creek 59: Jalen Meeks scored a game-high 26 points in the Bruins’ loss to the Chargers as Creek concluded the season with a 16-9 record. Grandview 54, Mountain Vista 40: The Golden Eagles, averaging more than 66 points a game, were held to a season low in the loss to Grandview. The Golden Eagles wound up with a 16-9 record. Fort Collins 77, Arapahoe 61: Jared Johnson had a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds while Ben Timmons topped the Warriors with 16 points in the loss to the Lambkins. Arapahoe’s record was 11-15 this season. George Washington 83, Chaparral 57: Ronnie Degray III tallied 24 points for the Wolverines in the loss to the Patriots. Chaparral wound up with a 15-10 record for the 2016-17 campaign.
Coaching carousel Joe Johnson, of ThunderRidge, and Corey McNellis, of Ponderosa, have been icons at their respective schools. Both, however, have stepped down as head coaches at the schools. Johnson, who has been a football coach at ThunderRidge for 18 years, 17 as head coach, is leaving to take over the football program at Cherokee Trail and become the Cougars’ third head coach in three years. McNellis, a two-time state champion at Ponderosa, has been the Mustangs’ head wrestling coach for the past 10 seasons and has coached at the Parker school for 18 years. He still works as a dean at the school, but is looking to land a position as an assistant principal/athletic director. “I have been either a competitor or coach in this sport since I was 4-yearsold,” McNellis said. “It’s time to experience life without wrestling.” Meanwhile, Rock Canyon announced that Brian Tinker is the school’s new head football coach replacing Brian Lamb and taking over a team that went 3-7 during the 2016 season. Tinker was head coach at Fossil Ridge in Fort Collins in 2014 and 2015 and made the state playoffs both seasons with 5-5 records. His contract was not renewed in March of 2016, and his removal sparked protests from players and parents. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

Sabercats girls coach looks back, forward Only three seniors on hoops team will graduate this year
Castle View junior Abbie Cooley races up court with Tommi Olson of Highlands Ranch in pursuit in a Class 5A Sweet 16 playoff game Feb. 28 in the Falcons’ gym. The Sabercats lost a Sweet 16 game for the fifth time in six years as top-seeded Highlands Ranch rolled to a 60-36 victory.
BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Hindsight is something many basketball coaches can’t avoid at the end of the season. Castle View girls coach Matt Hema reflected on what could have been after the Sabercats saw their season end with a 16-9 record following a 60-36 Sweet 16 loss to top-seeded Highlands Ranch in the Class 5A state playoffs on Feb. 28. It was the fifth loss in a Sweet 16 game in the past six seasons for Castle View. “We were 15-8 in the regular season, which was pretty good,” said Hema. “The highest we’ve even been is 16-7 so we were right in that range. There were a couple losses in there that we felt like if we had played better we could have won. “It’s funny when you look back maybe if we could have won those, it would have pushed us far enough away that we would not of had to play Ranch in the third round.” Highlands Ranch used a 12-0 run in the first quarter to take command and

then used a big third quarter to seal the victory. “We had to go against the No. 1 overall team,” said Hema. “So that’s tough. Ranch is good and they’ve been good for a long time. They are always good, they play hard and they play fast. You turn the ball over, don’t make shots and it’s tough to stay with them. That happened to us both times we played them this season.” Castle View, with nine underclass
players on its playoff roster, got remarkable balanced scoring with the four top scorers within a point of each other. Sophomore McKay Vansickle was the Sabercats’ leading scorer with an 8.2 point-per-game average followed by sophomore India Cole at 7.6 and sophomore Madison Hema, the daughter of the coach, and senior Brandi Bain both coming in with 7.3 scoring averages. Hema led the team in rebounding with eight a game while senior Hannah
Cushman handed out a team-high 3.6 assists per game. Junior Abbie Cooley was tops with 2.8 steals per game. “I really like the balanced scoring rather than having one person doing it all,” said Hema. “It’s easy to key on that person. Sometimes the problem you have with that is when you need somebody to take over. There’s a fine line between having that person that just wants the ball all the time and can go score and having that person that can get the bucket when you need it. “With a team that is well balanced sometimes when you get in tough situations you don’t really have the go-to person.” Castle View hopes to find a player or players that can help them advance to at least the Great 8 in the next few years. “We only lose three seniors,” continued Hema. “We don’t lose a ton out of the program. And our core, our leading scorer and rebounder, our leading shot blocker and some of the higher percentage players are coming back. “We’ve got feeder kids coming up. We had four teams this season. We were the only Continental League team that had four programs. So we had a lot of girls playing basketball. We have to find those players that can get us over the hump in this thirdround losing chain.”
South metro girls basketball playoff roundup for 5A, 4A STAFF REPORT
Cherry Creek is the lone team from the south metro area still playing in the girls basketball playoffs. The Bruins, seeded 12th, will take a 19-7 record into the March 9 Class 5A semifinal game against ninth-seeded Lakewood (21-5) in an 8:30 p.m. game at the Denver Coliseum. Quarterfinal games Cherry Creek 56, Ralston Valley 39: The Bruins, which lost twice to the Mustangs during the regular season, shot 50 percent from the field in the win, which ended a nine-game win-

ning streak for Ralston Valley. Junior Sydney Mech led the Bruins with 27 points. Lauren McMillen pulled down 15 rebounds. Lakewood 61, Highlands Ranch 49: The Falcons committed 22 turnovers in the loss to the Tigers as Lakewood avenged a regular-season setback to the Falcons. Autumn Watts and Kasey Neubert each had 12 points for Highlands Ranch, which had three starters in foul trouble during the second half. It was the first loss to a Colorado team this season as the Falcons finished with a 23-3 record. Evergreen 59, Valor Christian 40: The Cougars outscored the Eagles
36-19 in the second half to end Valor’s attempt to three-peat as state champions. Valor finished the season with a 17-9 record after the setback to Evergreen in the third meeting between the teams this season. The clubs had split the first two games. Sweet 16 games Highlands Ranch 60, Castle View 36: Watts scored 21 points and Courtney Humbarger contributed 15 to spark the Falcons to a win over Continental League foe Castle View. Sophomore India Cole and senior Hannah Cushman topped the Sabercats with nine points each.

Celebration erupts as Rock Canyon pulls out the 42-40 last-second victory over Grandview on March 4 at the Denver Coliseum.

on the clock. Masten then stole the ball after the inbounds pass, drove to the basket but his shot went off the rim. Janedis tipped the ball back into the basket at the buzzer. Video replays confirmed by the Colorado High School Activities Association showed the ball was on the rim when the buzzer sounded and Janedis’ only basket of the game counted. “Sam denied the pass and I saw him driving,” Janedis said. “I just got under the basket to see what happens and the ball came my way. I was happy I was able to follow through. “It’s a great feeling. I didn’t know if it counted or not. Then my team started attacking me. I was like, `it went in. ‘ “ Rock Canyon went to a zone defense midway through the fourth period in an attempt to slow Grandview’s 12-4 production on points in the paint. The defensive switch bothered Grandview for a couple minutes but two 3-pointers by Ben Boone sandwiched around Masten’s layup gave the Wolves a 40-38 lead with 19.5 seconds remaining following an adjustment of time by the officials. “They hit that three to go up by two
with like 15 seconds left,” Masten said. “We drew up a play and they ran zone so we really couldn’t run it. Colin made a heck of a play, he drove the middle and made like a hook shot and it went in. “There’s was about five seconds left and they (Grandview) didn’t know what to do. The kid was running away from me and I just jumped in and stole the ball. I tried to go in and get a foul, and I think I got fouled but they didn’t call it. The ball just came off the rim and ‘Jase’ just tapped it in. The rest is history. It happened so fast.” It was Rock Canyon’s first appearance in the quarterfinals, and the fifthseeded Jaguars will take a 23-3 record into a March 9 semifinal game at 8:30 p.m. against top-seeded Eaglecrest at the Denver Coliseum. Rock Canyon beat Eaglecrest, 60-55, on Dec. 6. Junior guard Tyson Gilbert scored 14 points to spark Rock Canyon against Grandview. Masten finished with 13 points and eight came in the second half. Canyon coach Kent Grams called timeout after Boone’s second 3-pointer pushed Grandview into the lead. “I called timeout and told them, ‘You have to believe,’ ” Grams said. “We are battle tested. We’ve played a really tough schedule. We had to believe and just make plays.”

NOTICE is hereby given pursuant to Section 32-1-204(1), C.R.S., that on Monday, April 3, 2017, at 7:00 p.m., or as soon as possible thereafter, a public hearing will be conducted. The hearing will be conducted at the Council Chambers, Parker Town Hall, Town of Parker, 20120 E. Main Street, Parker, CO 80138, Colorado, or at such other time and place as this hearing may be continued. A public hearing will be heard upon the application on file with the Parker Town Council, by the Overlook Metropolitan District (“District”), for approval of a First Amendment to Service Plan. The affected property is generally located southeast of the intersection of Haswell Drive and North Motsenbocker Road in the Town of Parker, Douglas County, Colorado.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that pursuant to Sections 32-1-203(3.5) and 32-1-204(1.5), C.R.S., any owner of real property within the District may file a request with the Parker Town Council, requesting that such real property be excluded from the District. Such request may be filed any time after the First Amendment to Service Plan is filed with the Parker Town Council, but no later than ten (10) days before the day fixed for the hearing on said Service Plan. Reason: First Amendment to Service Plan Project Name: Overlook Metropolitan District Date of Application: July 5, 2016 Type of District: Metropolitan Legal Notice No.: 930714 First Publication: March 9, 2017 Last Publication: March 9, 2017 Publisher: Douglas County News-Press and The Parker Chronicle Public Notice INVITATION TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS The Cottonwood Water & Sanitation District (the “District”) requests formal proposals for design, construction and operation (design/build/operate) of the JWPP Renovation Project (the “Project”). This Project is being issued as an Integrated Project Delivery contract, pursuant to Section 32-1-1801, et seq., C.R.S. The Joint Water Purification Plant (“JWPP”), a joint facility of the District and Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority (“ACWWA”), is a water treatment plant located at 8051 S Jordan Rd in unincorporated Arapahoe County. The JWPP was originally designed and constructed with Reverse Osmosis (“RO”) as the primary treatment process, but has not been able to operate as such because of an excess of Selenium in the brine discharge (“concentrate”) from the RO. This exceedance resulted in a Discharge Permit Violation, and subsequent conversion of the JWPP to utilize Microfiltration as the primary treatment process. The JWPP Renovation Project will convert the JWPP to treat approximately 50% of the flow with RO, and approximately 50% of the flow with Microfiltration. The two treatment streams are then to be blended together prior to disinfection using an Advanced Oxidation Process, to deliver treated water which will comply with all State
Selenium in the brine discharge (“concentrate”) from the RO. This exceedance resulted in a Discharge Permit Violation, and subsequent conversion of the JWPP to utilize Microfiltration as the primary treatment process. The JWPP Renovation Project will convert the JWPP to treat approximately 50% of the flow with RO, and approximately 50% of the flow with Microfiltration. The two treatment streams are then to be blended together prior to disinfection using an Advanced Oxidation Process, to deliver treated water which will comply with all State Primary Drinking Water Standards and TDS goals. The Advanced Oxidation Process equipment was part of the original plant installation, but is not currently being utilized. The concentrate from the RO and Microfiltration processes is then to be treated biologically to remove Selenium and meet all requirements of the current State Discharge Permit for the JWPP. The biological treatment is to be a passive treatment system to be located on approximately 6 acres of land adjacent to the JWPP.
City and County
The JWPP Renovation Project will include JWPP Plant Process, Piping, and Pumping Modifications to create a blended flow treatment system, and development, construction and implementation of a Biochemical Treatment System “BTS”. Following construction of the JWPP Renovation, the successful contractor will operate the JWPP for a period of 3 years with a process guarantee that the Project will meet the requirements of the existing Discharge Permit. The Project will include initial design to at least a 60% design level for development and negotiation of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”). If the GMP and initial design are acceptable to CWSD, the Project will continue through construction and operation. The Project shall be substantially complete by March 1, 2018, with start-up to immediately follow. The Project will comply with the requirements of the Colorado Water Conservation Board Grant Agreement with the District and a grant from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation pursuant to Section 9504 of the Secure Water Act, as set forth in the Contract Documents. The District is seeking to encourage proposals from respondents who are minority businesses, women’s business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms, as described in the Request for Proposals. Respondents will be required to certify that they are not listed as a suspended, disbarred or excluded on the System of Awards Management (SAM) (formerly known as the Excluded Parties List System (“EPLS”)) maintained by the General Services Administration (“GSA”). The Operation Contract will be by separate agreement with the District and ACWWA, for a minimum period of 3 years following substantial completion of construction of the Project. Sealed proposals will be received by the District at its offices at 2 Inverness Drive East, Suite 200, Englewood, CO, 80112, until 5:00 pm local time April 11, 2017, and will be publicly opened thereafter. No partial proposals or proposals received after this time will be accepted and will be returned unopened. The formal Request for Proposals (“RFP”) and Contract Documents for this Project will be available for distribution at this location on March 2, 2017 by contacting Kelly Conover at Kelly@mulhernmre.com, or at 303-649-9857. A mandatory pre-proposal conference will be held on March 14, 2017 at 9:00 am at the Joint Water Purification Plant located at 8051 S. Jordan Road Englewood, CO 80112 (please note location change from previous advertisement). A walking tour of the JWPP will be provided. The successful respondent will be required to furnish the necessary additional bond(s) for the faithful payment and performance of the contract, as prescribed in the Contract Documents. The Contract may be awarded to the respondent which the District determines will provide the best value to the District, in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in the formal RFP. In order to perform public work, the successful respondent shall hold or obtain such contractor and business licenses, as may be required by applicable law. Before a Contract will be awarded for the work contemplated herein, the District will conduct such investigation as is necessary to determine the performance record and ability of the respondent to perform the size and type of work specified under this Contract. Upon request, the respondent shall submit such information as deemed necessary by the District to evaluate the respondent's qualifications. The District reserves the right to reject any and all Proposals, to waive any and all informalities and to negotiate contract terms with the successful respondent, and the right to disregard all non-conforming, non-responsive or conditional proposals, and to choose not to award the Contract or postpone the award of the Contract for a period of time which, however, shall not extend beyond 90 days from the proposal opening date unless a different period is set forth in the Contract Documents.

A day for beer and swine in Centennial Potbellies mingle with brewery customers on National Pig Day

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Meandering along the patio and lawn adjacent to Resolute Brewery, curly tails and pink snouts seemed to hog the attention of customers on March 1. Resolute Brewery, 7286 S. Yosemite St., Centennial, teamed with Hog Heaven Farm to bring awareness, education and pig kisses to the people of the south metro area. The event helped mark National Pig Day, which began in 1972. So many people came to experience the animals at Resolute that the parking lot filled and people parked along the street and down alleyways. Customers and animals alike squealed in delight when customers were handed carrots and cupcakes to feed the pigs. Hog Haven is a nonprofit pig rescue in Deer Trail, a rural community in eastern Arapahoe County. The farm rescues pigs from cases of abuse, neglect and abandonment and provides education to the public and potential pig owners. At the time of the visit, Hog Haven
Forrest Morgan, a Resolute customer, tries to keep his beer away from one of the potbellied pigs at the National Pig Day event on March 1. STEPHANIE MASON was home to 47 potbellied pigs and four commercial pork pigs. Potbellied pigs range from 70 to 250 pounds. They eat a high-fiber diet and enjoy fruits and vegetables, but will eat almost anything they are offered. They are the fourth smartest mammal, matching the intelligence of a 4- to 6-year-old human child, said Erin
Brinkley-Burgardt, founder of Hog Haven Farm. “They really have a mind of their own,” Brinkley-Burgardt said. “You can ask them to do something and they will actually think about it. If they don’t want to do it, they’re not going to do it.” Many people surrender their pigs

to the rescue because they do not get along with other animals in the household or they get much larger than the owner anticipated. Brinkley-Burgardt said that compared to the 3-foot-tall, 650-pound commercial pigs, potbellied pigs really are miniature. However, they do not match the concept of “teacup” pigs, as they are sometimes advertised. The owners of Resolute Brewery donate their spent grain to Hog Haven farm after brewing their beers, said Andrew Duvall, Resolute’s community manager. With a flying pig on his shirt and a beer in hand, Jacob Malocha, a Denver resident, walked his pig, Chutney, with a leash and harness. Malocha made a “pigstagram,” or a pig-related Instagram, for his pet, titled 1divineswine. Malocha is not associated with Hog Haven, but enjoys meeting fellow pig enthusiasts. Malocha has owned Chutney since the 100-pound animal was a piglet. “I couldn’t figure out what dog to get, and I can be pretty lazy and didn’t want to go on walks,” Malocha said, laughing. “Chutney likes to eat and watch Netflix, so it worked out well.”
