Driver in officer’s death gets 10 years Man was 20 when he hit two on Broadway By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com After reading volumes of material and listening to hours of testimony, Judge Marilyn Antrim sentenced Conner Donohue to up to 10 years in prison for the night he drove drunk, hit and killed an Englewood police officer, and drove away. Donohue was sentenced May 31 in Arapahoe District Court. On May 28, 2012, he was at the wheel of his truck when, according to testimony, he sideswiped a police car on South Broadway and hit Officer

Jeremy Bitner and Littleton resident Kevin Montoya. Bitner suffered fatal head injuries and Montoya was seriously injured. Donohue was arrested a short distance away, and his blood alcohol level, taken more than an hour after the crash, was more than three times the legal limit. In February, Donohue Donohue entered a guilty plea to four felony counts in the case. At the sentencing hearing, the courtroom was full, as was an adjacent courtroom where the court proceedings could be watched on a large screen. Donohue’s friends and family filled

about half the seats in the courtroom. Eight of his friends or family members spoke and asked he not be sent to prison but be allowed to speak to students and groups of young people about what can happen if you drive while intoxicated. Donohue testified in his own behalf, apologizing to the community, the Bitner family and the Englewood Police Department. He said he hurt many people and deserved to die and asked that the sentence he deserved be handed down. Family, co-workers and friends of Bitner, who was posthumously promoted to detective, filled the other half of the courtroom. Several family members, including Bitner’s wife Tina, spoke at the hearing, as did several members of the Englewood Police Department. They all asked that Donohue re-

ceive a lengthy prison term. In her testimony, Tina Bitner said both families are grieving because of what happened but, no matter the sentence, Donohue would have a second chance, while her husband was killed and won’t have a second chance. “Grief constantly is like an unwanted guest in our home,” she said. She pleaded for justice. There was a PowerPoint presentation of evidence in the case, including the fact that Donohue had a blood alcohol level of .252 percent when he was tested. It was also noted that Donohue was 20 years old at the time and wasn’t supposed to be drinking. George Brauchler, district attorney for Driver continues on Page 6

Jessie the 6-month-old border collie is recovering nicely from surgery to remove a leg that was badly damaged when she was hit by a light-rail train. The dog has been under the care of Brian Van Vechpen, a veterinary surgeon at the Veterinary Referral Center of Colorado, a specialty and emergency veterinary hospital at 3550 S. Jason St. in Englewood. “I saw Jessie earlier today and she is doing fine,” the veterinarian said May 30. “We want to keep her activity down right now so the incision heals completely. But she is already walking and moving well. Pretty soon, she’ll be fully recovered so she can chase and catch a ball.” The week of May 13, Jessie’s owner was out of town. The dog ran away near Dartmouth and Broadway when a dog sitter let her off her leash because the leash was tangled in some vines. The dog’s owner, Henry, who declined to give his last name, said in an interview he had only owned Jessie for two months but already loved her. Jessie was being cared for by a friend when she ran off. The owner tried to find her, and she was found by an Dog continues on Page 7

Gov. John Hickenlooper on May 28 signed several pieces of marijuana-related legislation into law, including those having to do with the regulation and proposed taxation of retail pot sales, which will soon become legal under Amendment 64. The governor said at a Capitol bill-signing event that Colorado is “chartering new territory” when it comes to putting in place a regulatory model on a newly created industry that voters approved in November. “The voters passed Amendment 64 by a clear majority,” said Hickenlooper, who opposed last fall’s ballot measure, which legalized recreational marijuana use and retail pot sales in the state. “That’s why we’re going to implement it as effectively as we possibly can.” Among the bills signed by the governor was House Bill 1317, which puts in place the regulatory framework retail pot shops must obey, when they are allowed to begin operations on Jan. 1. In-state residents who are 21 and older will be able to purchase up to an ounce of marijuana at retail stores, per transaction, while out-of-state visitors are limited to a quarter of an ounce. Colorado residents can also grow their own pot and possess up to six marijuana plants. Existing medical marijuana dispensaries will have a nine-month head start on other businesses looking to enter into the retail pot arena. Pot shops — which will not be able to sell food or drinks that do not contain marijuana — must sell the drug in child-resistant packages that denote potency. The state Department of Revenue will regulate the retail pot industry. “When you are in uncharted territory, you need a North Star,” said Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, a House Bill 1317 sponsor. “And the North Star we used was public safety and making sure we kept marijuana out of the hands of kids, cartels and criminals.” The regulatory bill is also aimed at trying to appease the federal government, which has yet to respond to the pot legislation in Colorado. Marijuana use and sales are illegal under federal law. Hickenlooper said he expects the feds

KidStage returns in July City will sponsor five performances By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Starting July 9, five diverse programs will take center stage each Tuesday as the free weekly KidStage performances return for another summer engagement. The free performances are held each Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Englewood CityCenter Amphitheater, located at the base of the stairs to the light rail station and adjacent to the civic center at 1000 Englewood Parkway. If the weather turns bad, call the action line at 303-762-2598. “My three children loved KidStage last year and they will be so excited when I tell them it is coming back,” Lila Trimble said as she read the event schedule. “We live in Littleton but we came to every performance last year. I found I like the event, too, because it is a great family evening out. We pack a picnic dinner, spread a blanket, and the kids either watch the performance or have fun running around.”

The Jackman Brothers’ performance kicks off the lineup on July 9. They are billed as a comedy show with juggling and acrobatics. The remainder of the lineup includes: • July 16: Millibo Art Theatre — “Book Dawg,” a musical play that follows a dog and cat that escape from the pound and make their home in the library. • July 23 - Denver Taiko that demonstrate the high-energy art of Japanese drumming. • July 30 — The Now or Never Puppet Theatre will perform “Charlotte’s Web.” • Aug. 6 — Polynesian dancers will do a dance show involving drums and up-tempo hula dancing telling the story of the islands. This is the 13th year Englewood has held a KidStage program. Gerald Black, parks and recreation director, said it was suggested that because the concert program at the amphitheater was so successful, perhaps it would be a good idea to add a second series providing entertainment for children and families. “The initial year was a pilot program, it was successful and we have kept it going,” he said. “Programs like the concert and KidStage provide entertainment and they bring people to CityCenter Englewood who might not get down this way otherwise.”

Two arrested over debit card

Investigation of misuse of a debit card resulted in the arrest of the couple who tried to use the card. The arrest came about 1:45 p.m. May 22 when an Englewood police officer was checking businesses in the 600 block of Englewood Parkway. During the check, an employee told the officer a 43-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman were trying to use a debit card that didn’t belong to them. When the officer went to check out the report, the couple had left the store but the man returned to get the card back. The officer stopped him and placed him in custody. Police searched the suspect and found he was carrying a small plastic bag of methamphetamine. Officers caught up with the 46-yearold woman in the 3600 block of South Broadway. When she was questioned, she reportedly said she admitted taking the debit card and a check without the victim’s permission and tried to use them. Both suspects were taken to the Arapahoe County jail. The woman could face charges related to the fraudulent use of the

debit card while the man could face the same charges as well as charges of possession of a controlled substance.

Stolen vehicle recovered

A routine traffic stop resulted in recovery of a stolen car and the arrest of a 28-year-old for a variety of charges. The officer stopped the vehicle for a traffic violation about 11:45 p.m. May 24 near the intersection of East Amherst Avenue and South Lincoln Street. A check of the vehicle’s license plates showed it had been stolen. The suspect was searched and officers found he was carrying methamphetamine and three checkbooks that didn’t belong to him. According to the police report, when Englewood Officer Jacob Gerson interviewed the suspect, the man confessed to writing checks from at least one of the checkbooks that didn’t belong to him. The suspect was taken to the Arapahoe County jail. He could face charges that include forgery and possession of a schedule II controlled substance.

Drugs discovered in car

Investigation of a suspicious vehicle led Englewood police to arrest two individuals on drug-related charges. Police received the report about 6 p.m. May 31 about a suspicious vehicle in the 4800 block of South Inca Street. When officers checked out the vehicle, they reportedly saw a used syringe and a portion of aluminum can that contained residue and cotton swab tips. The two people in the car gave officers permission to search the car. Officers reported finding four needles containing a brown liquid substance of suspected heroin and several other items of paraphernalia. Also located was a small plastic bag containing material that tested positive for heroin. The two people were arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County jail. They could face charges relating to possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. The Multi-Jurisdictional Arapahoe County Impact is continuing the investigation.

Villagers get clean water, thanks to Rotarians Local, Nicaraguan clubs put filters in rural homes By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Rotarians in Colorado and Nicaragua joined forces on a project that resulted in placement of clean water filters in 261 homes almost 2,500 miles from Denver in the rural mountain areas of northern Nicaragua. “Rotarians in Somoto, Nicaragua, talked to me almost a year ago about the program to bring clean, safe drinking water to families living in areas where there is no running water or electricity,” said Bob Moore, a member of Littleton Rotary. “The proposal was to build and install a sand filter system in rural homes. I brought the idea back to our club and we decided to try to help the Somoto club make the project happen.” The initial challenge was the money to build the filters. Littleton Rotary, the Littleton Sunrise Rotary Club and the Aurora Gateway Rotary Club joined forces to work on the project. They raised $8,000, and those funds along with money from district and Rotary International covered the entire cost of the $21,000 project. Moore made a two-week trip to Nicaragua in April where he, Somoto Rotarians and local workmen began building the filter systems. A filter system is needed because safe

drinking water is not available in most mountain villages. Families get contaminated stream or river water that also contains intestinal parasites that cause stomach ailments and other health problem. Because most rural mountain villages are isolated and without electricity, the Rotarians decided to build and install the self-

contained sand filter systems that are operated manually. The filter system is a plastic tank holding 2-inch layers of coarse gravel and pea gravel, which is then filled with special volcanic black sand. The filter immediately makes stream water safe to drink. But it takes about two weeks to create the bacteria layer

that helps purify the water so it is as clean and safe as most municipal water supplies in the United States. When the filter system is completed, it will yield 12 to 15 gallons of clean water a day. The sand and gravel material usually lasts about 18 months. The initial design for the filter was to encase the gravel and sand in a concrete container. But that is heavy and water eventually begins to leach materials from the concrete. The solution was to encase the sand and gravel in a container made from 10-inch-diameter plastic pipe. Since the April trip, the Somoto Rotarians have completed and delivered the 261 filters included in the original plan. The tanks, along with gravel and sand, are trucked to remote villages like San Luis and Trapagas where they are installed in homes. “One issue we ran into is the sand as it comes from the quarry and clean water must be used to wash away all the dirt and debris mixed in with the sand,” Moore said. “That takes a lot of water and some villages don’t have access to that much water. So, because we got very good prices on the materials for our sand filters, we agreed to use the remaining funds to buy a ceramic filter system that will be installed in about 50 more homes in the next two months. However, the word about the project has spread and I understand there are requests from families and villages for about 300 more filters, so we may begin working to try to deal with those requests in the near future.”

Voters, not court, hold key to school finance Lobato ruling means no quick rescue for funding By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Those who had hoped that the Colorado Supreme Court would come to the rescue of underfunded public schools now turn their attention to persuading taxpayers to provide more money for classrooms in school districts across the state. In a highly anticipated ruling, the court on May 28 overturned a lower court’s decision that declared that the state’s school funding system — which plaintiffs said was inadequate and unfair — is unconstitutional. Now, the only immediate way that school funding will reach levels that are even on par with the rest of the nation — Colorado spends nearly $2,000 less per pupil than the national average — is if Colorado voters decide to foot the bill of about $1 billion annually that is tied to a major piece of legislation that overhauls the school-finance formula. “It’s really our last best hope,” said Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson. Jeffco schools was one of 67 plaintiffs in

the high-profile Lobato case that the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on this week. The case originated from a 2005 lawsuit that was named after a San Luis Valley family who alleged that Colorado was not living up to its constitutional mandate of providing a “thorough and uniform” system of funding for education. Plaintiffs argued that the state’s funding system particularly affects poor students and that money is not equally allotted among school districts. A state district court agreed with the plaintiffs in 2011. However, the state Supreme Court overturned that decision, ruling that school financing decisions should be left to lawmakers, and not for the courts to remedy. “While the trial court’s detailed findings of fact demonstrate that the current public school financing system might not be ideal policy, this court’s task is not to determine `whether a better financing system could be devised,’ but rather to determine `whether the system passes Constitutional muster,’” wrote Justice Nancy Rice in the court’s majority opinion. Gov. John Hickenlooper, a supporter of the court’s decision, told reporters after the decision that the high court did not rule that schools are funded adequately, but that a civil action “was not the right way to increase that funding.”

Home and Garden Tour returns Event aids Colorado Center for the Blind By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Those who missed the inaugural Littleton Home and Garden Tour last year can make up for it this year, as it returns June 15. “Step inside some of Littleton’s finest and most notable homes and gardens as neighbors open their doors in support of the Colorado Center for the Blind’s summer youth program,” said Stacey Johnson, CCB’s community development director. “From historic landmarks, to mid-century mod to California contemporaries, you are sure to see a variety of architectural styles and periods.” The exact address of the homes on the self-guided tour are kept a secret until the big day, when ticket holders can pick up the

map from CCB starting at 10 a.m., along with a breakfast burrito. From there, drive or bike to each of the eight homes — everything from a 1920s bungalow to a Santa Barbara ranch. “The tour’s initiative is to raise money for its summer youth program, increase awareness of the center’s work with blind individuals of all ages, and celebrate the unique and vibrant residential architecture found within Littleton,” said Robin Loughran of Ducks in a Row Events. Tickets are $25, or $20 in advance at cocenter.org. Vans are available for blind attendees at the center at 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Coffee, soft drinks, breakfast burritos and lunch will be available for purchase, provided by a gourmet food truck. Booties are included in the price of the ticket, to ensure floors are left tidy in the homes. The Colorado Center for the Blind and its Legacy Garden, 2233 W. Shepperd Ave., Littleton, will also be available for tours. For more information, contact 303-778-1130.

Republican lawmakers released statements in favor of the court’s ruling. Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman of Colorado Springs said the decision “affirms the constitutional authority of an elected legislative body to represent the people of this state.” Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, said that “a plaintiff victory would have drained the general fund and intruded on the General Assembly’s constitutional authority to appropriate taxpayer dollars.” Colorado’s K-12 education system already consumes about 40 percent of the state’s general fund. Supporters of the decision said that, had the court sided with the

plaintiffs, it would have put a greater burden on the state. Now, the focus turns to Senate Bill 213, the “Future School Finance Act.” The legislation, which has been signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper, would fund fullday kindergarten and provide more money for at-risk students and English learners. The act also aims to fund school districts in a more equitable fashion. State Republican lawmakers flatly objected to the bill this past legislative session, arguing that the act imposes a $1 billion tax increase on Coloradans without addressing true reform needs.

the 18th Judicial District, asked for a substantial sentence to be imposed that will impact people’s decisions so they won’t drink and drive. Antrim listed reasons for her decision and then sentenced Donohue to eight years in prison on the count of vehicular homicide and two years in prison on the count of vehicular assault. She also ordered those sentences to be served consecutively. She then sentenced Donohue to eight years in prison for leaving the scene of an accident causing death and two years for leaving the scene of an accident causing serious bodily injury. Those sentences are to be served concurrently with the first two sentences. The judge also sentenced Donohue to 365 days in the county jail for driving under the influence of alcohol. That, too, was to be served concurrently with the first two prison sentences. Englewood Police Chief John Collins said after the sentencing: “There’s no winner today. This is just awful.”

Ceremony held on anniversary of incident on South Broadway

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Dedication ceremonies on May 28 unveiled a memorial to Jeremy Bitner, an Englewood police officer who died in the line of duty. The memorial stands in the lobby of the Englewood Police and Fire Building at 3615 S. Elati St. Bitner, who was posthumously promoted to detective, was conducting a routine traffic stop in the 5200 block of South Broadway when he was hit and killed by a drunk driver just after midnight on May 28, 2012. He was the first officer killed in the line of duty in the history of the Englewood Police Department. The gray, polished granite memorial faces the lobby doors, adjacent to the record area. It is etched with Bitner’s image, and its wording includes a quote from Gen. George

Patton: “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.” The dedication was held on the first anniversary of Bitner’s death. “A lot of people worked on developing the idea for this memorial and I feel the memorial is appropriate, lasting and a tribute to Jeremy,” Englewood Police Chief John Collins said. “The dedication speeches touched on Jeremy, his service and his life.” He said Bitner’s brother spoke and thanked the community and the department for their support of the detective’s wife and children. The detective’s fellow officers spoke, and a general theme was to let the Bitner family know that the community and the department won’t forget Jeremy or his family. Police Cmdr. Sam Watson said about 125 people attended the May 28 ceremonies. He said there were police officers, firefighters, city officials and Englewood residents at the event. “It was well done and the ceremony was a fitting tribute to a good officer,” he said.

Chamber Trade Mission Targets Oil & Gas Executives in Houston

Calendar of Events For a complete calendar of South Metro Denver Chamber events and for more information, visit our web site at www.bestchamber.com or call 303-795-0142.

by Manny Gonzales, South Metro Denver Chamber

As part of the South Metro Denver Chamber’s ongoing mission to ensure Colorado’s economic vitality, a group of business leaders traveled to Houston recently to meet with high ranking executives from some of the largest oil and gas companies in the world. The trade mission focused on thanking those oil and gas companies for doing business in Colorado while adhering to strict environmental and health standards as well as laying the groundwork for future investment in Colorado. “Due to the efforts of our state and local elected officials and the input of our citizens and business community, we have created a clear and consistent framework for (oil and gas companies) to operate under,” Chamber CEO & President John Brackney said. Business ambassadors included Rick Whipple, chair of the chamber’s Economic Development Group and CEO of WhippleWood CPAs; Gayle Dendinger: CEO of CAP Logistics; Detlev Simonis: Director, Oil and Energy, CAP Logistics; Josh Penry: Senior Vice President of EIS Solutions; Andrew Casper: Regulatory Counsel at Colorado Oil and Gas Association; Peter Moore, a Senior Partner at Polsinelli PC; A.J. Misiti, Water Market Lead – Upstream Oil & Gas, CH2M Hill; Jim McGrath, Executive Vice President at Studley; Devin Mulhern, Director of Business Recruitment for the Denver South EDP; Frederic de Loizaga, Senior Associate of Office Properties at CBRE; Anthony Albanese, Senior Associate of Office Properties/Energy Facilities at CBRE; Forrest Bassett, a broker associate with Grillo Commercial Real Estate and Jeff Holwell, Director of the chamber’s Economic Development Group. “The Denver group brought a very powerful presence to Houston,” Bassett said. “I am very excited to keep this effort moving ahead and bring a positive impact

to Denver.” Misiti said: “It was an outstanding experience… Many good commercial relationships were established. In addition to the commercial success, this was the most fun I have had on a business trip in many years. What a great team.” The group met with John Christiansen, Director of Public Affairs and External Relations with Anadarko Petroleum, Damian Friend, Chief Geologist, and Jim Tramuto, VP of Government and Regulatory Strategies with Southwestern Energy and executives with ConocoPhillips. The group was also treated with a sit-down meeting with Chuck Davidson, Chairman and CEO, of Noble Energy, one of the largest oil and gas companies operating in Colorado. “Colorado has a significant potential to grow primary jobs, and thus wealth, in our communities through the expansion of the oil and gas industry,” Holwell said. “It is therefore essential that we align our economic development and public policy priorities relative to this potential and advocate for the industry as a united business community. “Our trade mission to Houston was eye opening event and helped us create the relationships to move this agenda forward,” Holwell added. The trade mission could not have been more timely, as Arapahoe County’s Board of Commissioners were convening their own meetings with oil and gas industry leaders, citizens and the state rule-making authority, The Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Administration (COGCC). Faced with a highly politicized climate in the state that has seen some elected officials wantonly throwing around moratoriums, the board unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding that sets high standards for oil and gas operators beyond the

rigorous, comprehensive regulations already in place at the state level. “Businesses value consistent regulatory environments, and Arapahoe County is leading the way in Colorado to reassure the industry that there will be no surprises and we will not run them out of town,” Brackney said. “Our success both today and into the future depends on balance, something we need to see more of as Colorado determines how best to utilize natural resources like oil and gas.” The South Metro Denver Chamber continues to lead the way in building ‘Remarkable Relationships and a Thriving Community’ through its wide variety of programming and outreach to local, state, national and international business leaders. For more information on the Chamber’s efforts in the field of energy production or any other topic of interest to the business community, contact John Brackney at 303-795-0142.

In Arapahoe County, a river runs through it Staff report

Late storms could make playing on the South Platte River more fun this summer, with more water for tubing and fishing. “The river can be navigated by canoes, kayaks or even innertubes when conditions are prime,” said Skot Latona, supervisor of South Platte Park in Littleton, meaning when the flows are more than 100 cubic feet per second. “Below that, there’s a lot of dragging bottom, which can be hard on river life, boats, and bottoms.” Latona noted there’s a project underway that will require boaters to portage around work zones into early summer. The park itself has five lakes for fishing and all the bullfrogs and crayfish you can carry home. “Bullfrogs are a non-native species, harvest all you can,” reads the park’s fishing eremy guide. From the park, it’s easy to access much duty. of the 100-mile South Suburban Parks and Recreation trail system. “Residents can find the perfect conditions for their trail activities whether they are looking for access to fishing, solitude, photography experiences, opportunities to walk with pets (on leash, of course) and children, chances to teach children bike safety and trail etiquette, running and skating fitness or full-day long-distance bike rides,” said Latona. To tour the south-metro area, try the 14mile Big Dry Creek Trail loop, which con-

will be “more specific” in how they respond to states like Colorado and Washington, where voters also recently approved recreational pot use, “relatively soon.” Hickenlooper also signed House Bill 1318, which calls for the drug to be taxed at a 15 percent excise tax rate, and a 10 percent retail tax rate. That’s in addition to other state and local taxes. Funds generated from the excise tax will go toward school construction. Voters must approve the new taxes in November. Hickenlooper and other bill sponsors called on voters to support the tax measures, or run the risk of marijuana regulatory money being taken out of the state’s general fund. “This is a plea to the people of Colorado to pass these taxes in the fall,” Pabon said. Also becoming law on May 29 was House Bill 1325, which sets a standard by which it is illegal to get behind the wheel while under the influence of marijuana. The bill limits drivers to five nanograms per millileter of blood for active THC, marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient. House Minority Leader Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, joked that his multiple attempts at trying to pass a drivingstoned standard in the last few years have set a “modern Major League record.” However, he’s pleased that his efforts have finally become a realization. “At the end of the day, this is probably the most important public safety legislation that has been signed into law this year,” Waller said.

animal control officer near Broadway and Mississippi Avenue on May 17, the day after she had been hit by the light rail train. In a television interview, the owner said even when the animal control officer explained that treatment would be expensive, he just couldn’t put Jessie down. “I saw her the day after she was found,” Van Vechpen said. “The train severed her left hind leg near the knee. It is believed the pressure and the heat from the train wheels probably cauterized the wound so she didn’t bleed to death. However, when we saw her, the wound was infected, so we amputated the leg at the hip because of the danger of further spread of infection.” The doctor said once the amputation is fully healed, the loss of a hind leg won’t slow the dog down because dogs carry about 65 percent of their weight on their front legs. “We do amputations where are there are extreme fractures or because of cancer,” he said. “However, amputations in cases of extreme trauma like this are relatively rare.” The owner has established a Facebook page and is asking for help in covering the $6,000 cost of the surgery at https://www.facebook.com/HelpJessieAndHerFamily.

opinions / yours and ours

A smart direction on school safety Armed guards patrol banks, ballparks and airports. It is rarely argued they are out of place in those venues. Schools are different. They are places of learning, places for children, our nation’s most precious resource. Years after Columbine, months after Sandy Hook, talk of placing armed security personnel in schools evokes a broad range of reactions. If done wrong, such a move could be disruptive and create fear among students. But if done right, there is little to lose and perhaps, lives to be saved. We see a partnership in Douglas County between the school district and local law enforcement agencies as an example of a way to bolster security while allowing for an unfettered learning environment. Beginning with the next school year in August, plainclothes officers from the sher-

our view iff’s office and three police departments will patrol the county’s public elementary and middle schools. At the high school level, armed resource officers have been a presence on campus for years. A safety committee’s work on this new program began shortly after December’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut. It is a multifaceted plan that incorporates security measures beyond the presence of officers, including improved screening of visitors and enhanced use of technology.

But the move to place armed officers on campuses, announced May 30, is what has made headlines. That’s understandable. Creating a police state at our schools is not something anyone should want. To be clear, though, that’s not what is being planned in Douglas County. The School Marshal Program will see deputies and police officers assigned to schools in nearby proximity, and the officers will be a daily presence at the schools. The plan is to allow for greater ability to respond to an incident, as well as be a deterrent to those with ill intent. “We’re not aware of any other program like this in the country,” said Elizabeth Fagen, superintendent of the Douglas County School District. Strengthening community bonds is among the most laudable elements of the

program. Douglas County’s safety committee has representatives from law enforcement agencies, the school district and various community members. Some may question whether the program will be worth its price tag — at least $500,000 on the part of the school district and an undisclosed amount absorbed by the law enforcement agencies. It’s a fair question, but we’re not prepared to set a dollar limit on children’s safety. Douglas County is among the most affluent areas of the entire nation, and the program’s cost may make it prohibitive for many school districts and communities to fully implement. But the root ideas of a multi-pronged approach and community cooperation are worthy of serious consideration in Colorado and around the country.

Military must fight sex crimes

Look on the bright side of wife The song goes “Always look on the bright side of your wife,” I think. And that’s exactly what I have been doing, since the day of my illegitimate marriage to Jennifer. For better or for worse, you will see a different writer now. I get favorable emails from readers who look forward to a grumpy old man every week, and I want to apologize to them if the new me is too benign and too innocuous. For years and years I have been a grouch, partly because of Groucho and others who tend to grumble their way through life, not with anger, but with humor. Listening to, watching, and reading us is an acquired taste, like Brussels sprouts, which I have never acquired. I have been told that sarcasm is a disease. Well, I happen to like the disease, but it must be influenced by humor. Otherwise it’s just ranting. Read a few letters to the editor, especially about things like gun control (an oxymoron), to see what I mean. My illegitimate marriage has changed all of that. I can read the daily paper without exasperation. I can leave the house without exasperation. I can be around people without being exasperated by their behavior and annoying mannerisms. I have a profound disbelief in weddings. They are a form of fraud that involves billions of dollars, probably, annually, and wedding planners. The biggest weddings are bigger frauds, with Franckier Francks. Our wedding lasted half a minute, if that. It was performed by my best friend Mike, who flew in from Lafayette, Calif., to do it, even though he didn’t know he was going to be doing it until he got off the plane. I told him I wanted him here to compete in a bocce tournament with Jennifer and me and her oldest daughter Casey, who would be his teammate. I told him to bring a crying towel. The tournament was on a Saturday. The wedding was supposed to take place afterwards in my kitchen. We had a song picked out (“Little Talks” by Of Monsters and Men), and prepared some heartfelt gibberish about our love for each other, just like what goes on in churches. But Casey, who was supposed to be our

witness and ring bearer, couldn’t make it, so we had to regroup without her. We regrouped on Sunday. I asked my best friend Greg to help out. I have two best friends, if you’re wondering. We met at Il Fornaio, sat in a booth, and Franck turned out to be a waiter named Fritz, who simply kept bringing the bottled water and risotto to the table. We are leasing the marriage for five years. We turn this one in just like a leased Accord. It’s illegitimate, like I said. It’s not even a common-law marriage. I now have three illegitimate children and an illegitimate dog that I didn’t have a month ago. None of them will ever live with me. I don’t have to feed them, clothe them, or tweeze their fleas. Jennifer is not going to live with me either. We will paint together and travel together. It’s perfect. There were no gifts allowed. We didn’t register. What a racket. You tell people to get you a gift, and then you tell them what to get, and where to get it. “You shouldn’t have.” “But you told me to. And what. And where to get it.” “Oh, right.” “Love’s happiness is just an illusion, filled with sadness and confusion.” I don’t believe that. Love is the drug, but it’s nearly impossible to find. Jennifer and I have found it, and I am a new man, looking on the bright side of life. I just wish my neighbor’s Kids From Hell would stop leaving ant colonies on the hood of my car, the detestable little fiends. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

The United States military is the most capable and most professional fighting force the world has ever seen. At its core are our men and women in uniform, whose selfless service and sacrifice for the cause of freedom is the main reason Americans have held the military in such high regard. Time and again, they rise to the occasion to defeat and deter America’s enemies. Yet while this fine institution is adept at meeting external threats, I am troubled by its inability to defeat and deter a grave threat from within: the epidemic of sexual assaults and sexual misconduct in our military. In January, at a House Armed Services Committee hearing on sexual misconduct, I challenged several senior military leaders on this problem. I voiced my concern that we need to change the culture that allows this misconduct to take place; that leaders must hold their subordinates accountable; that we must face these incidents with moral outrage so this behavior stops. This is why the House Armed Services Committee, on which I proudly serve, is supporting tough measures in this year’s annual National Defense Authorization Act to fight sexual assault in the military by holding perpetrators accountable and better protecting the victims. The measures proposed in this year’s defense bill will move us toward our goal. Some of the measures I support include: • Removing a commander’s ability to change or dismiss a court-martial conviction; • Limiting a commander’s discretion to modify or lessen a sentence; • Increasing transparency by requiring the commander to provide a detailed written explanation for any decision disapproving, commuting, or suspending a court-martial conviction or sentence;

• Allowing greater victim participation in post-trial matters involving the accused; • Establishing mandatory minimum sentencing — mandatory discharge or dismissal — for certain sex-related offenses; • Eliminating the five-year statute of limitations for trial by court-martial so that perpetrators of such misconduct will face justice regardless of when the incident occurred; • Affirming commanders’ authority to reassign or remove a service member who is accused of committing sexual assault or other sex-related offense from a position of authority; • Increasing victims’ access to legal assistance; and • Requiring the Secretary of Defense to submit to report a Congress on sentencing guidelines and mandatory minimum sentencing and the role of commanders in the military justice system. I am also a co-sponsor of legislation that would promote victims’ rights by expanding whistle-blower protections to a wider class of communications involving sexual misconduct. Specifically, it would require an Inspector General to investigate all allegations of retaliatory actions taken in response to making protected communications regarding rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct.

above has broad, bipartisan supmit- port, and it takes a more aggressive ce- approach to addressing sexual assault and sexual misconduct in the military than we have seen in previous o- defense bills. Some members of ast Congress argue that these measures ict do not go far enough — that the disby position of all serious criminal cases should be handled outside the chain r a of command. While I understand

the e ieas ous the

their concern, I believe they go too far — we should not throw out the baby with the bathwater. What makes our military justice system unique is that it entrusts commanders with the duty to enforce “good order and discipline.” Surely lawmakers can work with military leaders to devise a system that meets Congress’ intent to hold perpetrators accountable, protect victims, and maintain good order and discipline. To accomplish their missions and defend this country, our men and women in uniform must be able to depend on one another. They must be

able to trust that their command will protect them from sexual predators within the ranks. Not only do these crimes inflict lasting damage on individuals, they compromise the effectiveness of our military as a whole. It is why I am committed to solving this terrible problem once and for all. Mike Coffman is the U.S. Representative for Colorado’s 6th District. He is a Marine Corps combat veteran and has a combined 21 years of military experience between the Army, the Army Reserve, the Marine Corps and the Marine Corps Reserve.

Make sure you are paired with a good lender who can prequalify you with your buying potential. Also, use a Realtor who is available to help you act when you are shown your dream home. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Es Estate? A gentleman called saying my sign was in his yard. It had been placed there as a prank. Therefore, I asked if he wanted to sell his home — if he had been interested, what a way to get new clients!

How long have you worked in Real Estate? My career began in 1996, with Metro Brokers, as a preferred Realtor with several local builders all over the metro area. This established me as a real estate professional with buyers, sellers and new home builders. Joining the Re/Max Alliance ofﬁce in 2007, has allowed me to provide my clients with the best real estate tools, with the most recognized real estate brand.

WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT.

WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R

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

hile the job market appears to be col on the mend, recent college graduates know they need to go the extra mile in order to get a foot in the door of their desired profession. And according to a Legal Momentum analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau, young women with college degrees may face an even more difficult battle than their male counterparts. dis The earnings disparity between men and qualifica women of similar qualifications has long been known and can be traced to a host of factors (for example, men tend lucra to earn degrees in more lucrative fields than women), but women are also facing lower employment rates than men, despite holding an advantage in educational attainment.

you become to prospective employers. Don’t be afraid to take an internship after graduation. Many young people think internships are only valuable while they are in college. But an internship after you have graduated can be just as valuable, especially in an ultracompetitive job market like the one today’s graduates have found themselves in. Even if the internship won’t earn you a dime, it’s a chance to get your foot in the door and gain experience. Many companies are more inclined to consider past or current interns for full-time entry level positions than they are outside candidates. Don’t be afraid to expand your job search to internships even if you already earned a college degree. Such opportunities might just prove your best chance to get your foot in the door. Volunteer. Volunteering is a great way to give back, avoid the stir craziness that can accompany unemployment and

analyzing data on women between the ages of 21 and 30, Legal Momentum found that 30 percent had a bachelor’s degree, while just 23 percent of men in the same age bracket had a bachelor’s degree. Young women aware of such figures should rightfully be concerned. While there may be little recent female college graduates can do to address those concerns, there are steps they can take to improve their chances of landing a job in their chosen fields. Get experience. Any experience in your chosen field, regardless of how small your role might be, is potentially valuable experience. A willingness to tackle any task and get a better grasp of the industry will stand out to a prospective employer, especially if you are currently working as an intern with no promise of a full-time position come the end of your internship. The more you can learn about the industry you hope to work in, the more attractive

put something positive on your resume rather than a big gap. In addition, volunteering can be a great opportunity to meet people and do some networking. A fellow volunteer might work in your field or know someone who does, and this person or persons can prove an invaluable resource for a young person just starting out. Stay focused. A job hunt can be exhausting, and it’s easy for a young unemployed person to grow disillusioned about a process that seems to rely so heavily on randomness. But studies show that young women are already facing an uphill battle when looking for a job, and losing focus or allowing yourself to be discouraged will only make that hill more steep. If you are truly passionate about your field of study and devoted to finding a job within that field, then your chance will come if you remain patient and continue to focus on your job hunt. ■ Metro Creative Services

This still life by Martha Canum will be in her “Four Seasons” show. Courtesy photo

Painter’s work on display Canum exhibit held at Denver Art Gallery By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “On the wall of my studio hangs a picture from the Sept. 7, 1995, edition of the Littleton Independent,” wrote painter Martha Canum. “It is of the Rapp Street Artists’ Studio artists busily preparing for a special showing at the Depot Art Center. Some of these artists are still active, a few not so much,” she recalls of the 20 or so members, who included rita derjue, Addie Voils, Delores Peterson, Skippy Haggerty and others. “What a time we had!”

if you go “Martha Canum: Four Seasons” will hang at Denver Art Gallery, 2516 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, from June 8 to 25. Gallery hours: noon to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays. 303-881-7099, thedenverartgallery.com.

Canum moved to Southern California to be with her children in the 1990s, then returned to the Colorado town of Delta in 2000. Five years ago, she moved to Castle Rock with her daughter and son-in-law, Cheryn and John Weathers. “It’s a wonderful place,” she said. Her daughter says that Canum was born and raised in Colorado, growing up with a love of the outdoors and gardening.

For a time, she lived in Japan, and spent time in Hong Kong and China, which affected her perspective on the world and how she paints it. Canum majored in art at the University of Northern Colorado and came back to her love of art after her children were grown, studying in classes with local and national painters. An inventory of paintings often travels with an artist as she covers the miles and years. Canum, a prolific painter in watercolors, oils, pastels and acrylics, of landscapes, florals, still lifes and more, is invited to exhibit about 60 of her works in a show called “Martha Canum: Four Seasons” at the Denver Art Gallery, 2516 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, from June 8 to 25. An opening reception is planned from 3 to 5 p.m. on June 8.

Hats from Dr. Seuss’ closet travel to Denver Author, artist had unusual collection By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com In 1937, Theodor Seuss Geisel (19041991), known to millions as Dr. Seuss, was visited by his sister, Marnie, who reported that he had a peculiar hobby of collecting hats of every description and was thinking of using them as a foundation for his next book. That book, his second of 44, was “The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.” Bartholomew’s red hat with a jaunty feather was inspired by a childhood hero — Robin Hood. Characters in his subsequent books almost all sported distinctive hats as well. “In the beginning, Bartholomew Cubbins didn’t have 500 hats. He had only one hat,” the story begins. Readers will recall how

if you go “Hats Off to Dr. Seuss” will appear at Clayton Lane Fine Art, 110 Clayton Lane, in the Cherry Creek North neighborhood, Denver, from June 21 to July 14. The opening event with Bill Dreyer will be from 6 to 9 p.m. on June 21 and requires an RSVP. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays. 720-214-5263, claytonlaneart.com.

they multiplied each time he removed one. In honor of the book’s 75th anniversary, a special “Hats Off to Dr. Seuss!” exhibition, approved by Geisel’s widow, Audrey Geisel, will include a selection from the beloved author’s hat closet plus “Secret Art,” estateauthorized works adapted from original drawings, paintings and sculpture by that prolific man. Since Geisel’s early teen years, he was fascinated by hats and saw them as a reflection of a person’s behavior — a transformational factor. He entertained friends by spinning stories as he changed hats to become different characters. This collection, which debuted at the New York Public Library, will be exhibited in Denver from June 21 to July 14 at Clayton Lane Fine Art in Denver. On June 21, Bill Dreyer, The Art of Dr. Seuss Project curator, will be at the gallery to talk about the works. He will speak about 7 p.m. Dreyer has worked with Audrey Geisel, who decided to share art that had not been seen before in this exhibit. The famous Cat in the Hat, he said, was Dr. Seuss’ alter ego: “The cat from the wrong side of the tracks.” Paintings in the traveling show are more elaborate than the children’s illustrations, illustrating a labyrinthine imagination. “Part of his brilliance is that you come away from the books with a message — in `Horton Hears a Who,’ for example: `A person’s a person, no matter how small …’”

Esquire magazine loves Denver, or at least two of its bars. Esquire includes Williams & Graham in the Highland neighborhood and downtown’s Ship Tavern in the famed Brown Palace Hotel in its top 17 (really, 17?) list of best bars in the U.S. Esquire writes about Williams & Graham, a unique bar with a 1920s speakeasy feel: “Williams & Graham is a love letter to the old saloon, but one conceived by a third-generation bartender who knows the difference between playing bartender and really tending bar.” Esquire suggests ordering the Unrefined Ruffian at Williams & Graham. See the review at www.esquire. com/features/best-bars-in-america2013#slide-5. About Ship Tavern, Esquire suggests ordering a Johnny Walker Black Manhattan and writes: “Ship Tavern, tucked away in the historic heap of bricks that is the Brown Palace Hotel, is at that peculiar stage in a fancy joint’s life when it wants to be a dive. It’s not decrepit per se, but you can feel the gravitational pull of decrepitude. Somehow that’s alluring. Maybe it’s because that same black hole is pulling on us every single day. In any case, it is very pleasant to drink your (large) cocktails here (stick to the basics) amid the headscratching, comprehensive nautical decor (in Denver?), which dates back at least to the 1930s.” See the review at www.esquire. com/features/best-bars-in-america2013#slide-4.

Denver fifth-fittest city

Denver ranked fifth of the most fit cities in the U.S., according to annual American Fitness Index, a study done by the American College of Sports Medicine. Minneapolis-St. Paul ranked first for the third year in a row in the study, which is based various health behaviors including smoking, exercise, obesity rates, chronic health problems and access to health care. The ACSM report also considers other factors, such as availability of parks, recreational facilities, walking trails and farmers’ markets. Health and medical experts designed the fitness index, which analyzed the 50 most populous metropolitan areas in the U.S. Washington, D.C., was second, followed by Portland, San Francisco and Denver.

Douglas County: Here’s the money

In a Forbes magazine report this week, the money mag lists Colorado’s Douglas County as the eighth-richest county in the U.S. Forbes cites the county “boasts the ritzy enclave of Castle Pines, known for its world-class country club and golf course.” Five Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., highlight the list as do two New Jersey suburban New York City counties.

Collector’s Indian artifacts exhibited Brandebery helped found Douglas County Historical Society

IF YOU GO Kent Brandebery’s collection will be exhibited until Aug. 1 at the Castle Rock Historical Museum, 420 Elbert St., Castle Rock. Hours: noon to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays. 303-814-3164, email crmuseum@comcast.net. Admission is free.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com More than 40 American Indian artifacts loaned by local educator, historian and rancher Kent Brandebery are exhibited at the Castle Rock Historical Museum, 420 Elbert St., through Aug. 1. Included are woven rugs from several tribes, baskets, a mano and metate, a musket, an umbilical amulet (beaded turtle), Indian Peace Medals and more. Brandebery said this is the second display he has exhibited at the museum, from a collection started by his mother and father, which he has continued to expand through the years. (The first display was on the first saddle-maker in Douglas County.) As a child, Brandebery lived in Sioux Country, Sundance, Wyo., and spent time on the Navajo and Cheyenne reservations while his mother taught there. His familiarity with American Indian arts and history has accumulated throughout a rich life. Castle Rock has been his home since 1938, he said, but during World War II, his father and older half brother were in the service and he, his mother and sister lived in Littleton, near the cemetery, so the children could attend school there. Brandebery remembers working at the historic Littleton Cemetery and playing his bugle in the Veterans Circle during a Memorial Day program. His Littleton ties continued later through involvement with the Littleton Historical Museum and its animals. After post-graduate work at the University of Wyoming, he had an internship at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyo., and taught at Sinte Gleska Sioux College. A connection with Richard Kahn, then curator of American Indian art at the Denver Art Mu-

seum, provided educational materials for his students. Brandebery went on to become an instrumental music teacher in high school and later in elementary school, retiring in the 1990s and starting a Civil War-style brass band, the Castle Rock Band, which just performed a Memorial Day program. (It needs more members, he says.) He has been interested in local history since 1960 and helped found the Douglas County Historical Society, which then split into a group of more local groups, including the Castle Rock Historical Society, which restored the 1875 rhyolite stone Denver and Rio Grande Depot for use as a historical museum in 1996. Brandebery said his favorite artifacts are those from the Plains Indians — from Mexico to the Canadian border, “not from a special place.” This stems from his early Wyoming days. He explains the inclusion of some pieces from the Tarahumara Indians from Copper Canyon in Mexico. “They are much like the early people of Mesa Verde,” he said. Someone abandoned a group of them in Denver in the late 1980s and he put them up on his ranch for a week or so until the Mexican government could work out a way to get them home. They gave Brandebery artifacts in thanks. At that time, he found a Larkspur resident who spoke the dialect to help with communications — another example of his community connections. “All the things I do, I have to depend on the community — what goes around comes around,” Brandebery said. “I have an obligation …”

Pirates host football tourney Englewood second in hog relays, third in 7-on-7 competition By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Footballs instead of baseballs filled the air June 1 as Englewood hosted a 7-on-7 allpassing touch football tournament and a Hog Challenge, which is a series of physical and agility events for linemen. This year, 15 teams took part in each of the tournaments. Elizabeth won the 7-on7 tournament by defeating Fairview, and Englewood lost two games but came back to finish third. Columbine won the hog relays and Englewood came in a close second. “It was a good day for us and a good way to start preparations for our 2013 football program,” Pirates coach Jay Graves said. “All our guys did well. We have a whole new backfield, but our young kids stepped up and did a great job for us. Sophomore Carlos Valdez and seniors Chris Gutierrez and Isiah Mestas did very well for us. Also, even though we’ll be starting three sophomores, 0ur linemen did very well in the Hog Challenge. They finished high in just about every category, from weight lifting to the sled pull, so they took runner-up honors behind Columbine.” Assistant coach Andy Cornell provided tournament results showing the Pirates were 3-1 in pool play, qualifying to advance to the championship playoffs. The Pirates lost in the quarterfinals to Columbine by four points, but came back to win two straight games over Skyview and the Columbine B team to finish third. Senior Chris Gutierrez was the Pirates’ leading receiver in the tournament. “It is a lot of fun and it helps a lot to get thinking about football, even though it is still summer,” he said during a break in the action. “I play both offense and defense. I like offense because it is fun to score touchdowns. But I like defense too because I like hitting people.” Teammate Tyler Harris said it was good to be back on the football because he has been missing football since last season ended. “I think we’ll be improved this season. We should have a strong defense and we have a lot of speed on offense,” he said between times on the field. “This is my senior year and I have worked hard to come in at the best shape in my high school career. I have dropped about 10 pounds and I am stronger and faster. I can’t wait for football season to start.” The June 1 tournaments are part of the summer program for Englewood football. The tournaments came on the Saturday between the two weeks of Pirates contact

It used to be that coaches could not officially work with players during school summer vacation. The rules changed about five years ago, permitting two weeks of contact camp, which could include scrimmages. The Pirates took the field May 28 for the first day of camp. The first three days, players wore helmets, jerseys and shorts. The fourth day they put on full pads, and full contact drills were permitted. Englewood wraps up its camp June 6 with scrimmages against Littleton and Lincoln. Englewood plays in a number of 7-on7 tournaments during the summer, which this year will include the Broncos-sponsored tournament. There will be 64 high school teams in that tournament June 1922. The teams are divided into four-team pools and play a round-robin schedule. The Pirates begin play at 10:30 a.m. June 19 at Denver All-City Stadium. They are in the same pool with Kennedy, Legacy and Sheridan. The pool play winner advanced to the final single-elimination tournament at Dove Valley June 22, with the tournament champion earning an all-expenses-paid trip to Cleveland for the National Football League 7-on-7 high school tournament.

The program that teaches golf fundamentals got underway June 3. The first day was at the recreation center, where each golfer was issued items including a hat, a pair of gloves, tees and other golf equipment. The second day of the program was on the miniature golf courses at Colorado Journey. Then the scene switched to Broken Tee, where each golfer will attend five one-hour group lessons. The pro-

gram wraps up with a celebration June 19 that includes a barbecue and fun golf-related contests. Lori Douglas and her sons visited the driving range a few days ahead of the start of the program. “Both my boys were in the program the last couple years and they are excited to be coming back,” the Highlands Ranch resident said. “I like golf, the kids showed interest, so we put them in the Hole-N-One program last year. They loved it and they really learned a lot about golf. So much, in fact, we came out and played the par 3 course a couple times this year. They want to get better so we signed them up for Hole-NOne again.” Bob Spada, golf course director, said the program is introducing a new way to teach golf to kids. “Every sport uses a teaching

system before moving on to the equipment the athlete will use,” he said. “This new system uses plastic clubs to help teach grip and swing. Then we go to regular clubs a couple lessons into the program. It is sort of like T-ball to teach basics of handling a bat in baseball.” To make the program more fun and more valuable, a 7-year-old who has attended the program for the last two years can move up to take part in the 8- to 15-year-old classes. There is also a separate class for 12- to 15-year-olds that is recommended for veterans of the program. This group will also take part in course play the final lesson of the program. The group lessons for 5- to Golfers continues on Page 22

Seven thousand cycling enthusiasts descended upon Douglas County this past weekend for the 26th Annual Elephant Rock Cycling Festival. The festival, which features a Sunday afternoon children’s race, as well as a 24-hour race that spanned May 31-June 1 on an 8.2mile course at Greenland Open Space, also has rides of eight, 27, 32, 62 and 100 miles starting and finishing at the Douglas County Fairgrounds throughout the day June 2. Many people use the longer rides as training for bigger races such as Ride the Rockies and various Iron Man competitions, said Pat Smith, Elephant Rock spokeswoman. A traditional ride for many each year, Smith said the gorgeous scenery, rolling hills and picturesque view of Pikes Peak keeps cyclists coming back year after year. “We were a little bit down this year in numbers,” she said. “It was a tough season to train because of all the weather variability, but we have got a pretty loyal following.” That loyal following helped bring a $650,000 economic boon into Douglas County over the weekend, according to Smith, who added that an additional $450,000 was raised by a variety of nonprofit organizations riding for pledges.

Golfers Continued from Page 21

7-year-olds are taught by golf course staff. The group lessons from the older age groups are taught by Professional Golf Association pros.

One of those organizations, the 74-person Team Zimbabwe, rode to raise funds for orphanages in Zimbabwe. Showing up with the largest team in the 26-year history of Elephant Rock was Team Transplant, who hit the five different courses with 165 riders, 36 of whom were either transplant recipients or living donors. Founded by Denver attorney and author Steve Farber nine years ago after receiving a kidney transplant from his son, the organization helps people learn where to go when they are in need of a transplant and also works to help create matches. Olivia Current, 18, came down from Longmont to cheer on the team and take in the race with her brother, Micah. She didn’t ride, but said it was the first time she had ventured out to an event like this since being diagnosed with leukemia two years ago. Olivia got a bone marrow transplant on Nov. 11, 2011. Currently on dialysis, she is now on the wait list for a kidney transplant. “I didn’t realize that there were this many people that supported me,” she said. “It’s nice. They don’t even know me.”

“This is the program’s 14th year and every year, the program is very popular with kids and with their parents,” Spada said. “The idea is to teach the youngsters the fundamentals of golf and hopefully they will come to enjoy playing the game. We feel we have reached a lot of kids over the years we have hosted the program. I would guess 60 to 70 percent of the kids return to the program year after year.”
