Coyote sightings up in spring Residents urged to avoid interaction, refrain from feeding the wild canids By Hannah Garcia hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia.com With warmer weather on the way and more people spending their days outside, wildlife interactions are bound to increase. Although coyotes may carry a reputation — ranging from mystic admiration to a hostile aversion — Bill Dailey, natural resources manager with the Highlands Ranch Metro District, said the best way to deal with coyotes is to avoid interacting with them. Highlands Ranch has 2,500 acres of open space with 60 miles of trails dissect-

ing it. It is inevitable that some residents will see coyotes, Dailey said. “We have built Highlands Ranch where their home was,” Dailey said. “Just because we built houses doesn’t mean they’re going anywhere.” Although coyotes are active year-round, people may see more of them in spring. They begin breeding in February, finding spaces for dens in April and pups start arriving in May, according to Dailey. Coyotes may also engage in an activity called “escorting,” which may entail watching or following humans that come near dens, according to Lacerte. It’s a way the creatures keep their pups safe but “sometimes it may scare people,” she said. Resident Ronald Nigh said he saw a few coyotes in an open space behind Northridge Elementary School while walking his Coyotes continues on Page 11

Quick! Before it melts! Longer days mean more time to play! With a lateseason snowstorm hitting Highlands Ranch on April 3, kids and adults alike hit the hills at Highlands Heritage Regional Park for some afternoon sledding and maybe a little bit of snow-unicorn-building.

One way or another, the state will soon free up money to get an unfunded aerial firefighting fleet off the ground. The governor’s office and legislative leaders are on board with a spending plan that would set aside $21 million to purchase or contract planes and helicopters that are equipped to fight fires. The money was approved through an amendment to the annual state budget that was debated in the Senate on April 3. Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office and lawmakers will have to get creative to find where in the budget the fleet funding will be secured. But all sides agree that this will happen this year — much to excitement of the legislator who has been instrumental in driving the creation of the Colorado Firefighting Air Corps. “Quite frankly, this is the most important legislation of my life,” said Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction. The funding behind King’s effort comes on the heels of a much-anticipated state fire report that was released last week. The Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control found that the state lacks resources in key firefighting areas, including a lack of aerial firefighting capabilities. “Colorado does not have the ability to deliver appropriate aviation resources in a timely fashion to support local suppression response to small fires while they are still small,” states the report, which was authored by CDFPC Director Paul Cooke.

Oil and gas health impact study clears panel

Bill and bill’s price tag expand during committee talks By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The potential health impacts of oil and gas operations among Front Range residents will be studied, under a bill that is making its way through the Legislature. But increased costs to the legislation that were added during a recent House committee hearing left the bill sponsor worried that the effort might not get funded. House Bill 1297 would require the state to study the impacts that oil and gas operations may have on a person’s health and quality of life. The three-year study would focus on residents living in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld Counties. Those counties include cities that have placed limits on fracking — the mixing of water, sand and chemicals that are blasted deep into the surface to crack porous rock to free up blocked oil and gas. So far, five Colorado cities and more than 100 municipalities across the nation have either placed bans or other limits on the practice. The bill would require the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to review scientific literature regarding the

how to address this approach,” Swalm said. “The elected officials out there worked hard to come to that.” Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, said he didn’t want to see a state-sponsored study that he thinks would slant toward the viewpoint of fracking opponents. McNulty said that the oil and gas industry is already being watched in a way that protects the public. “A well-regulated industry does not pose public health threats to our citizens,” he said. The bill passed the committee, but came out of it more expensive than when it arrived. The original bill would have focused only on the oil and gas-related health impacts to those who live in the counties of Adams, Boulder, Larimer and Weld. However, against Ginal’s wishes, the committee amended the study to include Arapahoe County and the City and County of Broomfield. That expects to add an additional $200,000 to the legislation, bringing the bill’s cost to about $700,000. Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge said she was concerned that the added cost could be “a game changer” when it goes before the House Appropriations Committee for funding consideration. “I am supporting the bill, but I am concerned about adding the extra cost,” Schafer said. “My county and other counties care very much about this issue, but let’s start with a small, controlled study and, in a future year, we can expand on it.”

In the April 3 edition, a chart accompanying the story on the Republican General Assembly said that candidates who earn more than 10 percent support at the assembly but less than 30 percent had to collect 5,040 signatures by March 31 (20 percent of the total number of votes at the 2010 Republican primary) if they chose to attempt to petition on to the primary ballot. That number was the correct number for the sheriff ’s race only. While no other race had candidates who fell into that range, it should have read 20 percent of the total number of votes for that specific office at the 2010 Republican primary.

Emotional school meeting has upbeat ending Attendees hopeful that officials will listen, act By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District’s second Board Unplugged meeting lasted nearly three hours, and was punctuated by raised voices, frequent interruptions and philosophical clashes, but it ended on a cooperative note. About 50 people attended the April 1 event at Castle Rock’s Mesa Middle School, designed as a less formal version of the Douglas County School Board’s traditional meetings held at the district administration building. Despite several highly emotional exchanges, community members who have for months said they’re concerned about the board’s willingness to work with them expressed optimism about the evening’s finale. Board president Kevin Larsen promised to provide follow-up information on a variety of issues raised, some of it at the next regular board meeting on April 15. Those issues include cost of a potential district survey, details on a proposed K-8 special education school, costs for assessments and a data collection system and the potential re-establishment of a policy review committee. “I think we are trying to find some common ground to come together,” said Larsen. “With all humility, we will do our best. If we don’t have the answers, we will say it.” Larsen also announced DCSD has hired a parent advocate, who will work with parents as concerns arise. Unresolved issues then may be taken to the administration or board level. Six of the seven board members attended the informal meeting. Craig Richardson was not there. Unlike the first Board Unplugged

Photo by Jane Reuter meeting held in March, during which participants were divided into groups to discuss specific topics, audience members sat on folding chairs arranged in a circle for a general discussion of their concerns. Parent Laura Young Alfano expressed gratitude for the board’s attentiveness. “If this truly is the beginning, I am grateful,” she said. “There are really few main issues where there is huge, deep divide. The (choice) scholarship program? Deep divide. Let’s not start there. But there are a lot of other things where it’s more about how things are done, how are they communicated. Hopefully this is really truly the beginning of listening and smaller groups.” Several audience members testified about low teacher morale. One man,

who identified himself as Mike, said he represented his DCSD teacher wife, who didn’t feel comfortable speaking out. As a teacher in another district, the man said he knows many DCSD teachers are seeking employment elsewhere. “We used to get 10 resumes from Douglas County; now we’re getting 60,” he said. “We can’t hire them all. “They had no reason to leave as far as seniority or status. It was because they needed to get out of the district.” Board member Doug Benevento said DCSD last year hired more teachers from outside the district than it lost to other districts. “I get there are probably folks who are unhappy, but it’s unfair to characterize them as all, or say there’s a great migra-

tion north because the numbers would indicate we have a great migration south,” he said “I happen to respectfully disagree with you,” Mike said. “There’s a reputation going on about Douglas County schools. Whether you have numbers to say it’s not true, there’s a reputation about it now.” Parent Kelle Palka agreed, saying parents know teachers’ feelings better than board members. “How many teachers are you confidants with that tell you, really, what’s going on?” she asked. “We are their confidants. The majority are unhappy.” Larsen noted the turnover has varied “wildly” among DCSD’s schools, and suggested schools with high turnover be scrutinized. “Are they losing teachers that are positively leaving for an opportunity within the district, and are they being replaced with a teacher of equal caliber and experience or are they not?” he said. “Is the environment such that they’re not enjoying it anymore? I think we can look at that.” “I’m certainly interested in exploring the alternatives to teacher evaluations so teachers take ownership,” board member Jim Geddes said. “Once that happens, I think it will be much more acceptable to the teachers.” “The point of an evaluation is to make you better, not get rid of you,” Larsen agreed. Several audience members urged the board to listen to parents, and not discount their voices. “You have a room full of people that are passionate about the school district,” said former board candidate Julie Keim. “Please try to find ways to engage us. You would find us a lot less resistant if you would listen to us, talk to us, help us understand your priorities. We’re resistant because you are shutting us out of the process.” The next Board Unplugged meeting is set for May 6 at Rocky Heights Middle School in Highlands Ranch.

DISH promises changes ahead for nursing moms ACLU complaint prompts company to improve conditions, privacy Staff report In response to a letter from the ACLU of Colorado, DISH Network has agreed to make several improvements to their accommodations for nursing mothers. On March 12, the ACLU of Colorado sent a letter of complaint to DISH Network documenting multiple failures to accommodate nursing mothers at two of its Colorado locations. At its corporate headquarters in Douglas County’s Meridian business center, employees had to pump breast milk in front of their coworkers and supervisors without privacy screens or curtains. At its call center in Littleton, the lactation room is inside a bathroom stall, which is in direct violation of federal and state law. On March 21, DISH sent the ACLU a response, promising new accommodations for nursing employees. “DISH is to be commended for promptly committing to address the problems outlined in our letter and for taking significant strides to protect the rights of nursing mothers in the workplace,” said Rebecca Wallace, staff attorney for ACLU of Colorado, in a statement. The company promised to provide multiple private places to accommodate several nursing mothers in the Englewood office, and to move the lactation room in the Littleton office out of the bathroom. DISH representatives indicate they are “undertaking a company-wide assessment of the accommodations provided to nursing mothers,” and have identified a humanresources manager whose duty it is to ensure compliance with laws regarding nursing employees. The letter from DISH emphasizes the company’s commitment to providing a healthy, safe and family-friendly workplace. “By bringing the story of nursing employees at DISH to light and enforcing state and federal laws protecting nursing mothers in the workplace, the ACLU hopes to change the old-fashioned view held by some employers that a model employee is one that does not get pregnant, does not give birth, does not breast feed and does not have childcare responsibilities,” said Wallace. “DISH’s steps in promptly resolving the complaints raised in our letter serves as a model to other employers.”

NTSB: Plane crashed after only second flight By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia @coloradocommunitymedia.com Witnesses said the pilot was “struggling to stay airborne” before a March 29 plane crash took his life in Highlands Ranch. The National Transportation Safety Board released a preliminary report on the accident April 3, two days after Douglas County Coroner Lora Thomas identified the deceased pilot as James Peoples, 60, of Littleton, and listed the manner of death as an accident. Peoples was the only person onboard. Peoples crashed in an open field behind the SuperTarget in Highlands Ranch near C-470 and Lucent Boulevard shortly before 3 p.m. on March 29. Some witnesses said it looked like the pilot was trying to avoid surrounding homes and buildings before the plane made impact. “That pilot did save lives. He consciously took himself away from people, and he’s nothing short of a hero, in my opinion,” Highlands Ranch resident Landon Harmon

Investigators survey the scene March 29 of a small plane crash that killed the pilot, James Peoples of Littleton, in Highlands Ranch. Photo by Chris Rotar said. “There’s not a lot of fields in Highlands Ranch, so I’m pretty confident he knew what he was doing.” Peoples purchased the airplane in November 2013 and his first flight in the aircraft occurred the morning of the crash, the NTSB said. He told a family member that he terminated the first flight early because of a leak in the fuel sight gauge and took off for the second flight, which resulted

in the accident, after making a repair to the plane. Witnesses told NTSB investigators that Peoples looked like he was struggling to stay in flight and the engine was “running roughly” as the plane approached the field. The plane crossed over a set of power lines, rolled to the left and descended to the ground before a fire ensued after impact, the report said.

A raised red oval, a couple of inches in diameter, sits at the top of Alex Meredith’s forehead. It is the physical mark of a besieged mind. Meredith, who is 29, started bashing himself in the head when he was in his teens. Now, his parents can see it coming. A tranquil moment of drawing at the kitchen table cedes to Alex’s high-pitched squeal, his wrists colliding. Once he starts hitting himself, there’s nothing to do but freeze and wait for it to pass. Meredith was diagnosed with autism when he was very young. Later, his parents were told he also displayed symptoms of mental illness — obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, psychosis and depression. For Carol and John Meredith, Alex’s parents, the search for treatment has brought them to psychiatrists and psychologists, to mental health centers and the community-centered boards that serve people with autism and other developmental disabilities. Carol heads The Arc of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, an organization that advocates for people with disabilities, and has access to more than the usual range of leads and contacts. Still, nobody seems to know exactly what to do with Alex. The Merediths are not alone in their frustration, according to an ongoing study by JFK Partners, a program that does research on developmental disabilities at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. For people with the dual diagnoses of developmental disability — which can range from Down syndrome to autism to cerebral palsy — and mental illness, getting treatment means navigating a fragmented system, the study has found. Funding quirks have created huge gaps in care. As a result, family members find themselves alone — and often isolated — in trying to manage complex problems that need professional support.

Lack of help can hurt

In the worst cases, the repercussions across society can be extreme. In a recent interview with The New Yorker, the father of Newtown school killer Adam Lanza described trying and failing to find adequate treatment for his son, whose world slowly shrank to contain only his mother and his video games. Lanza was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, considered a mild form of autism, when he was 13. A psychiatrist at Yale’s Child Study Center later noted symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder as well, and his father now believes his autism may have masked schizophrenia. “Asperger’s makes people unusual, but it doesn’t make people like this,” Peter Lanza told The New Yorker. The number of Coloradans affected isn’t small. Nationally, around one in three people with a developmental disability also has a diagnosis of some form of mental illness, according to a frequently cited study by the National Association of State directors of Developmental Disabilities Services. That would translate to around 35,000 people in the state with dual diagnoses, based on common estimates of the prevalence of developmental disabilities. Many are left without adequate care, and some without any care at all. Expensive visits to the emergency room — which often provide little help except for short-term stabilization — have become a primary line of defense. Advocates like Meredith are hoping that the latest state-commissioned study at CU will lead to a change in the way that people with complex developmental and mental-health diagno-

Alex Meredith, 29, draws as his mother, Carol, observes at the family home recently in Littleton. Meredith was diagnosed with autism when he was very young. He also displayed symptoms of mental illness — obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, psychosis and depression.

ses are treated. One option would be to model Colorado’s care after a program that began in New Hampshire and has since been adopted in other states, with the idea of providing crisis intervention and care coordinators for people who needed these services. But any solutions remain a few years off at best, leaving families in this situation to seek each other out for ideas and support.

Holistic care urged

The current system in Colorado “divides people up into their different diagnoses,” says JFK Partners director Cordelia Robinson Rosenberg. “But care has to treat people holistically.” Most people with both developmental disabilities and behavioral health conditions are covered by Medicaid. But in Colorado, the public insurance treats the two diagnostic categories under incompatible payment systems - the first as fee-for-service, and the second as managed care. Carl Clark, who heads the Mental Health Center of Denver, says that while health-care providers often try to work together to treat people who fall into both categories, the divide in payment models is explicit. “Our funding from the state (for Medicaid enrollees) says you do not use this for people with developmental disability,” Clark says. As a result, mental health centers are often ill-equipped to offer some of the services — such as long-term housing support — that people with developmental disabilities need. At the same time, the two funding models have left little room to develop specialists who are skilled in diagnosing and treating both developmental disabilities — which can include fetal alcohol syndrome, a notoriously hard thing to pinpoint — and complex mental illnesses. And even experienced psychiatrists may have trouble attributing behaviors to one diagnosis or another. “Unfortunately,” says Clark, “the science does not divide the brain up as clearly as funding sources do.” The complexity of who pays for what can have real impacts on treatment. Carol Meredith recently discovered that a psychologist who was having some success in treating her son hadn’t been paid since October. Nobody — including the psychologist herself — could figure out who was responsible for paying her. Worse, research from the University of Colorado has found that a significant number of Coloradans are excluded from treatment entirely, Rosenberg says. Medicaid establishes an IQ thresh-

old for developmental disabilities, excluding people who surpass that bar but who still suffer from severe social or intellectual limitations. Surveys conducted by JFK Partners found that for every one person who is receiving services for developmental disabilities under Medicaid, Rosenberg says, there’s another person who isn’t being served. That includes people who have unmet mental-health needs.

ER is often only option

Marijo Rymer, who heads The Arc of Colorado, says parents of children with dual diagnoses call her in frustration after failing to find any help for their children. Too frequently, the only option is the emergency room. “When their children are hurting themselves, or hurting them, and they don’t know what to do,” says Rymer, “we will advise people to call 911.” Doing so repeatedly can help build a case for the kind of sustained longterm services that people with dual diagnoses need. But encounters with police and emergency rooms can cost patients, hospitals and taxpayers a huge amount of money. And ERs are geared toward crisis management — often the most disruptive way and least effective way to treat someone who needs consistent care. Valerie Saiz and her husband Richard waited four days and four nights in an emergency room in 2010 — and again in 2011 — in an effort to get treatment for their now 16-year-old son. Graham, who has autism and bipolar disorder, had been hitting himself violently. His parents took turns restraining him. “We noticed that the other kids getting admitted to the ER, if they were aggressive to others, they’d restrain them,” said Saiz. “If they were selfabusive, we’d have to do it ourselves.” Each time he was admitted, Graham was discharged without a plan for treatment, says Saiz. The family was forced to craft their own solution, putting a helmet and mitts on Graham to protect him from himself, and sometimes locking him in his room to protect the rest of the family. “If we’re locking Graham in his room for safety, I’m sure other people are. Other people just call 911 left and right. People have to do what they can to survive,” Saiz says. “But it shouldn’t be about survival.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS. To read more, go to inewsnetwork.org.

School forums aimed at safeguarding kids District invites parents to discuss current programs, future ideas By Jane Reuter

Two hospitals score high on safety list Consumer Reports weighs multiple factors in ratings By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two Douglas County hospitals topped a Consumer Reports list of hospital safety for the Denver metro area. Lone Tree’s Sky Ridge Medical Center and Parker Adventist were rated first and second among 16 metro-area hospitals, based on five categories related to hospital safety. Sky Ridge scored 66 of a possible 100 points, and Parker Adventist, 65. Each of the five categories included 20 possible points relating to infections, readmissions, patient communications, necessary procedures and mortality. “We are thrilled,” Sky Ridge CEO Maureen Tarrant said. “This particular recognition by Consumer Reports is a gold star. All of us consider Consumer Reports the go-to place for being rigorous in your analysis and determination of providing guest services and products. To be added to that list for such an important service — hospital care — just makes us all tremendously proud. “We’re very proud to have achieved this

within about 10 years of opening.” So is Parker Adventist, which opened just six months after Sky Ridge in early 2004. “This ranking really supports our belief that here at Parker Adventist we deliver some of the highest-quality medical care in the metro area,” said hospital spokeswoman Rachel Robinson. “Quality and patient safety is a top priority for us.” Among agencies that provide health-care ratings, Tarrant said Consumer Reports is the most comprehensive. “It not only includes traditionally publicly reported statistics such as infection rates, but it even looks at about four different categories of performance,” she said. “Those include patient satisfaction and evidencebased medicine protocols, such as how much radiation you get when you get CAT scans at Sky Ridge. Those four categories are really very, very comprehensive.” Consumer Reports’ mortality ratings are based on how likely patients are to die within 30 days of hospital admittance for a heart attack, heart failure or pneumonia. It also considers how often surgery patients with treatable complications die during their stay. The data is based on patients aged 65 and older.

The Douglas County School District is inviting parents to help it protect their children. A series of forums, triggered by the loss of several students to suicide and other 2014 incidents, are planned this month. The series, “Safeguarding Children: Building Resiliency,” began April 9 at Parker’s Chaparral High School and continues April 16 at Highlands Ranch’s ThunderRidge High School and April 23 at Castle Rock’s Castle View High School. All the forums are planned from 6 to 9 p.m. Local law enforcement officers, mental health experts and school staff will join to discuss using physical and psychological safety measures to protect students’ wellbeing. Four Douglas County teens were lost to suicide between Jan. 31 and Feb. 11 — a number equal to the total of teen suicides in the county in 2013. DCSD is seeking parents’ input and involvement in creating a safe haven for students. “We’re really looking for this to be in-

teractive with our parents, to really talk about the things we have in the community and our district for supporting children, and the way those things overlap to keep kids safe,” said Jason Germain, DCSD’s chief student advocacy officer. The forums are “not a sit-and-get-lectured style format,” he said, but will invite parents to participate in tabletop exercises and discussion with DCSD staff. A resource fair will feature community partners like Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network and Children’s Hospital. DCSD also is involved in a longerterm evaluation of its mental health staffing levels. At about 900-to-1, DCSD’s ratio of students to counselors is well below the 250to-1 level recommended by the American School Counselor Association. When elementary schools — which don’t have counselors — are excluded, the ratio of students to counselors at the middle and high school levels is 350-to-1, according to DCSD staff. “What we’re doing now is we’re integrating requests from principals, school counselors, (and other) members of our teams (to learn) what they are indicating is needed in our buildings,” German said. “Instead of just haphazardly assigning resources, we’re taking a larger district stance around that.” That report eventually will be taken to district leaders for their response.

Recall elections bill passes Senate on party lines Republicans say measure tramples state constitution By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Democrat-sponsored bill that would re-shape how Colorado voters cast ballots in recall elections passed the state Senate on March 28, as Republicans cried foul. The bill would allow people more time to vote and would provide more options for casting their ballots in recall elections — something that wasn’t possible during last fall’s historic legislative recalls, which resulted in the ousting of two Democratic Senate members. But Republicans blasted the effort as an end-run around the state constitution that is clearly aimed at driving higher Democratic turnout in recall elections. “Just because the constitution is an inconvenient truth, it’s still the truth,” said



Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, RColorado Springs, in a Senate debate that preceded the vote. Democrats say the idea behind Senate Bill 158 is to sync modern election code with outdated election language in the state constitution — which was written more than a century prior to last year’s recalls. The Colorado Constitution states that a candidate has up to 15 days prior to Election Day to submit enough signatures to appear on a recall ballot. The Democrat-sponsored bill would require candidates to submit signatures 15 days prior to when ballots are made available to voters, which occurs long before the actual day of the election. The changes would give county clerks more time to process mail ballots, something that didn’t happen during last year’s recalls — where Democratic Sens. John Morse of Colorado Springs and Angela Giron of Pueblo lost their seats in elections that were spurred by their votes on guncontrol legislation. The elections were preceded by court

battles that culminated with a Denver District Court judge ruling that the mailing of ballots could not be possible in those recalls. Sen. Matt Jones, D-Louisville, a bill sponsor, said that resulted in “terrible” voter turnout last year. Jones said that about 36 percent of eligible voters showed up to vote in Giron’s recall election, while only 21 percent of voters cast ballots in the Morse contest. Jones said that the lack of a mail ballot option particularly harmed military voters, the elderly and persons with disabilities, because they had a more difficult time getting to the polls on a single Election Day. “Nobody benefits from chaos, especially the voters,” Jones said. “This aligns the constitution in such a way so that people who want to vote can vote.” Jones also cited bill support from the nonpartisan County Clerk’s Association. Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, also a bill sponsor, said the bill “modernizes” recall elections in a way that Colorado voters have become accustomed to, through the current general election process.

“This is just taking the experience from last year and making our laws more understandable for everyone involved,” Steadman said. But Republicans blasted the bill for “running roughshod over the constitution.” They argued that the language in the constitution clearly defines that Election Day means just that — and not the weekslong early voting process that Democrats say it is. “We’re redefining Election Day here and I don’t think that is something we can do,” said Sen. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley. “That is unconstitutional.” The bill now heads to the House after it passed the Senate following an 18-17 party-line vote. The result did not sit well with Republican Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch. “The Democrats lost multiple court battles to stop the recalls, they then lost two Senators to recall elections, so today they are attempting to amend the constitution without a vote of the people,” Harvey said. “Their disrespect of the voters of Colorado knows no bounds.”

The expansion of a job-growth incentive tax credit is gaining momentum at the Legislature. Under current law, businesses can earn income tax credits over a five-year period for every job they create in Colorado. The new bill would expand the availability of that credit to eight years and would make other modifications to an effort that received bipartisan support at the Legislature last year. House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, and Rep. Tracy KraftTharp, D-Arvada, said the effort to expand the law is a testament to its popularity. “While our economy is starting to move along, this is a bill that will help us move back to that robust state,” Kraft-Tharp said on the House floor on April 4, just before House members gave initial approval to the legislation. The bill was expected to easily pass the House during a final vote, which was scheduled for April 7. The changes to the bill are business friendly. In addition to expanding the availability of the credit, the bill reduces a requirement that exists in the current law, which man-

dates that businesses must offer an employee 110 percent of the average county wage. The new bill lowers that requirement to 100 percent. The bill also alters the “burden of proof” that companies must meet in order to qualify for the credit. Currently, businesses must prove that the jobs likely would not have been located in Colorado had it not been for the credit. According to the bill’s fiscal note, the changes to the bill “require employers to state that, without the credit, the probability of locating the jobs in Colorado would be reduced.” But the tax credit has guardrails because it is performance-based. The new employee must be employed for a full year before the business receives the credit, which is equal to one-half of the amount of what employers pay for a worker’s federal Social Security and Medicare taxes. Aiding the bill’s chances of becoming law is a reduced fiscal impact that was presented to the House Appropriations Committee just hours before it received a full vote in the House. The original version of the bill would have cost the state $55 million through the 2027-2028 fiscal year. But fiscal analysts and bill sponsors managed to lower that amount to $30 million. “It is important to keep Colorado competitive and continue to attract new businesses to the state,” Rep. Kraft-Tharp said in a statement after the House vote. “This bill will create good jobs and help more businesses hire workers.”

Committee rejects fifth audit for state health insurance exchange Marketplace has already cleared four independent audits By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that would have allowed for Colorado’s health insurance marketplace to face a state audit died on a party-line vote in a Democrat-controlled Senate committee on March 26. The bill had received overwhelming bipartisan support in the House, but the Senate Health and Human Services Committee rejected the legislation, with Democrats arguing that Connect for Health Colorado is already being scrutinized by independent auditors as well as the federal government. “I’m worried that we’re... throwing more government at them when they have already hired private people to look at their performance,” said Sen. Irene Aguilar, DDenver, the committee chairwoman. Connect for Health Colorado is the state’s health insurance marketplace for Coloradans who wish to shop for insurance opportunities that were made possible through the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ObamaCare. Earlier this year, the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Committee recommended on a 7-1 vote to grant the state auditor the ability to conduct a full performance audit of the health benefit exchange. The health exchange has received several millions of dollars in grant funding and Republican bill sponsors told the committee that it would be a good idea to make sure the money is being used correctly. “One hundred and seventy-seven million dollars in federal grants is a lot of money and I think it’s prudent for Colorado to empower our state auditor to perform a performance audit,” Sen. David Balmer, RCentennial, told the committee. State Auditor Dianne Ray testified that any time a new program operates with a large amount of money behind it and it uses that money in a short period of time,

it’s a good idea to examine its practices. Right now, Ray said her office is limited in the type of an audit it can conduct on the Colorado Health Network. For example, her office would be unable to look at things like information technology issues and whether Connect for Health’s enrollment projections are “reasonable.” “We can’t look at anything outside of just the moneys,” she said. But Connect for Health Colorado CEO Patty Fontneau said the exchange has had four “clean” independent audits already. She also told the committee that the Internal Revenue Service has done a review of the exchange and that the benefit marketplace also reports to the federal government on a monthly basis. Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk, said it would be premature for the state to launch an audit of a new program, especially since auditors wouldn’t have any “best practice” measures for which to provide a comparison. “I think that they already have a number of audits that have demonstrated their performances have been far better than most of the health exchanges in the other states,” Nicholson said. Democratic Sens. Linda Newell of Littleton and John Kefalas of Fort Collins joined Nicholson and Aguilar in voting against the bill. Republican Sens. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs, Larry Crowder of Alamosa and Kevin Lundberg of Berthoud all voted no. Republicans insisted that the legislation wasn’t a commentary on the Affordable Care Act, which their party has adamantly opposed, both here and nationally. “It’s important to separate the oranges from the apples,” said Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, a committee member. “This is not a statement for or against the exchange or for or against the national Obamacare program.” However, after the vote, Lundberg blasted Democrats on the committee for killing the legislation, “in an attempt to cover up the failures of ObamaCare.”

opinions / yours and ours

Pot and substance abuse no ‘gray matter’ Colorado law legalizing retail marijuana sales for adults age 21 and older took effect on Jan. 1. So, now that pot is legal for adults, it’s not such a big deal if kids give it a try, right? Pot use, and any drug or alcohol use for that matter, is still illegal for kids and young adults. Perhaps more important than the legal vs. illegal argument is the fact that any of these substances have dangerous effects on the developing brains, the gray matter, of young people. Why do kids use drugs and alcohol? Peer pressure is certainly a reason, but not the main one. The choice is typically due to boredom, easy access, underestimation of the harm or to help diminish symptoms of a mental-health issue. According to the Colorado Health Foundation 2012 Health Report Card, “On average, teens begin drinking alcohol at the age of 14. Those who start drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop a dependence on alcohol.” For these kids, there is clear and present danger to brain development and addiction resulting in damaging impacts throughout life. Our brain doesn’t reach “adulthood” until around the age of 25, and research has shown time and time again that pot

and all substances impact the teen brain much differently than adult brains. In adolescence, delicate synapses are still forming, gray matter is growing and the brain is focused on building the parts that maintain memory, learning, emotional control and executive functioning, which will be used for the rest of their lives. Early substance use stunts these growth areas while increasing the possibility of mentalhealth issues, academic failure, addiction and relationship difficulties. While alcohol is the most abused substance by teens, a study from the Colorado State University Extension office reported that up to 56.5 percent of Colorado teens have used some form of illegal drug by the 12th grade, with up to 6.8 percent having used an illegal drug before age 13.

letters to the editor Don’t blame the system

State law provides that a candidate may petition on to the ballot without going to the assembly at all. Major party candidates for public office may begin circulating petitions the first Monday of February. The deadline to submit those petitions is no later than 85 days before the primary election. In 2014 that was March 31. In the sheriff’s race both John Anderson and Lora Thomas chose not to circulate petitions, presumably assuming that they would have sufficient support at the assembly. To blame the current statutory scheme for a conscious decision made by their campaigns is somewhat disingenuous. Many candidates over the years have chosen to bypass the caucus and

assembly process altogether and have been successful in their primary election bids. Candidates for office did not have a mere nine days to collect signatures, but 56 days to do so, starting Feb. 3. The suggestion by unsuccessful candidates that the caucus and assembly system is hostage to party bosses or a political machine is an insult to every delegate at assembly. I chose to publicly support Tony Spurlock believing him to be the only truly qualified candidate for sheriff. No one bought my vote, and I am not part of a political machine. I am certainly not a party boss. I took my time, went to caucus — which only 11 voters Letters continues on Page 11

Enough barking might be worse than a bite For the umpteenth time the house next door has been rented. Like most of the others, the move-in was so discreet that I didn’t even see it. I don’t know how many are living there now, genders or what they look like. I think ownership of a big dog that barks incessantly is required for occupancy. I always hope that my newest neighbors might just have two or three neon tetras, but it’s always the Hound of the Baskervilles. I know, I know: It could be worse. It could be a crack house or a party house. It’s never that. But there is almost always the torture of compromised days and nights by a spectral beast constantly BARKING loudly. I am not talking about five or 10 minutes at a time. The current canine can go on for hours. To give you an idea, he or she gave me the idea for this column when it broke into my nap two hours ago, and is still going strong. Why don’t I mention something to the owners? I have tried that in the past. The next step is to file a complaint. That’s Section 1.05 (1) (h) under Douglas County Resolution R-998-100. That can become a Class 2 petty offense, and it sets up the possibility of resolution or a really bad relationship with the neighbor forever after — or even retaliation. One wishes that responsible dog ownership would never come close to reaching that point, but obviously it does if there is a seven-step warning process. That is Section 1.05 (2). The Douglas County website pages on pet ownership responsibilities are excellent and thorough, but who would

ever read them, until after the filing of a complaint? Another reason I won’t complain — yet — is that these owners, like all of the others, will be gone in a year or a year and a half. As I said: Umpteen. If someone were to buy the house and look like they would stick around for a while, I would communicate something to them. I built the backyard fence 20 years ago. All that separates Smitty from Baskerville are some aged wooden pickets. If I had the money, I’d replace the whole thing. That’s always one of life’s biggest words: “If.” The good news is that Smitty rarely goes out there. His unwillingness to go outside if it is even slightly too warm or too cool is astounding. He completely refuses snow. Also rain and fog and certain mists. I think it would be nifty if everyone received a copy of pet ownership responsibilities the day they unpacked. I’m not going to do it. Chances are it wouldn’t do any good. As I have said before, some people own dogs who shouldn’t be allowed to own a houseplant. I watched a great Hitchcock film, “Rear

and prescription drug use is on the rise in the south metro area. Opiates and synthetic opiates, including Percocet, heroin and OxyContin, are extremely addictive, so not only do they have a devastating effect on teen brain development; they are extremely difficult to quit. How do you recognize the signs of substance abuse in teens? When is it normal teen moodiness or addiction? Most often there are key, noticeable changes in behavior, moods, grades and friends. You may notice the telltale signs of slurred speech, “looking high,” dilated pupils or changes in eating and sleeping patterns. Be aware of your teen’s “normal” and gauge changes from there. Unchecked, substance abuse in teens can lead to immediate health risks such as risky sexual behavior and physical injury. Addicted teens have a higher dropout rate and increased criminal behavior and involvement in the juvenile justice system. Preventing young people from trying drugs and alcohol is the first and safest line of defense in maintaining healthy brain development and a healthy person. Prevention requires open and honest communication, plus clear rules and expectations about behavior. It also requires a

The truth probably isn’t in the middle So the other day I found myself in the middle of a situation. I was a third party to two other people debating and even arguing over an event that had taken place. They both viewed and experienced the circumstances differently and at this point had become quite agitated with one another. When they asked me my opinion and who I thought was right, my first instinct was to run as fast I could away from the situation. Although that was probably the right move, it was almost impossible based on where we were at the moment. And then my over-developed sense of obligation kicked in anyway and I tried to mediate as best I could. I went to my “goto” line in these situations and said something like, “It sounds like you both have a strong opinion about what happened and the truth can probably be found somewhere in the middle.” Is that a cop-out or what? So much for my “go-to” line. If truth is really truth, how can it be found in the middle? Are we compromising truth for political correctness and making sure we smooth over feelings for all parties involved, making sure everyone

in the situation is OK? And if so, is there anything really wrong with that approach? Unfortunately I think there is — it’s called avoiding the truth. Now there are some people who are extremely direct and never have an issue with speaking their mind or telling others exactly how they feel and how they perceive things. This doesn’t mean they are right or even necessarily telling the truth, it just means that they are direct. These folks typically live by a saying, “Seldom right, but never in doubt.” The other extreme is people who will not utter a word; they will stand by and Norton continues on Page 11

close look at your own substance use and beliefs. If you think your child is using drugs, early intervention is the best option for successful treatment and healthy brain growth. Today there are proven practices for treating the unique needs of young people with addiction that are equally effective for people who are “ready to quit” and those who are refusing to quit. Most treatment occurs in an outpatient setting and involves the help and support of the teen’s family. Teen substance use is no “gray matter.” The facts are black and white about the dangers to growth and development and consequences of inhibited decisionmaking at such an impressionable time of life. Start talking with your teen today and let him or her know that this is not a gray area: No drug or alcohol use is OK. Your support of your teen’s brain health and overall wellness will have long-lasting rewards.

Fleet Continued from Page 1

The report was mandated through last year’s passage of a bill — sponsored by King and Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge — that created the Colorado Firefighting Air Corps, a state-owned firefighting fleet. The “idea” of the fleet became law, but the legislation went unfunded, at least until the state could learn more about the feasibility of having its own fire fleet. Prior to the release of the fire report, Hickenlooper had been non-committal on the idea of undertaking the potentially enormous costs that come with operating a state-owned aerial fleet. However, Hickenlooper had been open to exploring ways of sharing those costs through a multi-

state effort. For months, it was uncertain whether the fleet would ever become a reality. That all changed after Cooke released his 103page fire report on March 28. Cooke presented the report’s finding to a special legislative committee on April 3. He told lawmakers that Colorado competes with other states for federal resources to fight fires, and that the state doesn’t have the proper amount of tools needed to combat early or late-season wildfires. Cooke also said that the state currently has just two, single-engine air tankers available to deal with the entire state’s firefighting needs. “The state, in terms of being able to help to bring overwhelming force to a wildfire, that’s not the case...” he said. Cooke’s report recommended that the state acquire $33 million worth of firefight-

out of over 400 in our precinct bothered to attend — and asked to be elected as an assembly delegate expressing my support for various candidates. Do we now fault a candidate for having broad based support, or condemn the system because the unsuccessful candidates failed to mobilize their supporters or exercise their petition option? Our caucus system dates back decades to a time when delegates rode hours on horseback to attend a county assembly as a delegate from their precinct. A debate on whether it remains relevant in this day of worldwide instantaneous communication is a legitimate topic for discussion. In the meantime, however, we need not fault those who embrace the system and mobilize supporters to work the caucus and assembly system to their advantage.

More chicken for me

3 letter to the editor alerting us to the opening of a new Chick-Fil-A at The Town Center on Highlands Ranch Pkwy between Lucent and Broadway. However, Miller then says, “Chick-FilA has a rotten track record of anti-gay discrimination…” Really!! If this is so, why does Chick-Fil-A have so many gay employees who like working there? And why does Shane Windmeyer, executive director of Campus Pride, consider Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy a friend? Miller then rambles on saying “ChickFil-A is a well-known example of how corporate titans with hateful and antiquated prejudices can make things tough for others.” One wonders what “others” he is talking about. It certainly can’t be the many Alabama motorists who were stranded in their cars for seven hours by a freak snowstorm and were served free, hot food by Chick-Fil-A employees going car to car. These “others” were very appreciative of Chick-Fil-A. Ah well, hopefully Miller will not visit the new Chick-Fil-A, leaving me one more great chicken sandwich to chow down on.

ing aircraft and other technology. But Cooke later told the governor’s office that it should hold off on acquiring two large, fixed-wing air tankers — as his report recommended — because precipitation from this winter’s weather makes it difficult to determine when those large tankers would even be needed this year. That cuts price tag by $12 million. So the state plans to move forward with the purchase of two multi-mission fixedwing planes and will contract for the use of four Type III rotor wing planes and four single-engine air tankers. The state will also spend $100,000 to set up a wildfire information management system, which will provide real-time fire information within the statewide fire communications system. The rest of the $21 million will be spent of airport fees, equipment and other relat-

Pekingese on March 20, March 31 and April 1. “I was walking and I saw two coyotes playing around (on March 20),” Nigh said. “I thought they might come after my dog.” Small pets, like cats and miniature dogs, are most susceptible to coyote attacks because they mistake them for food, according to park ranger Laura Lacerte. Keeping dogs on a short leash and keeping cats indoors can minimize pet deaths, according to HRMD. Coyotes can clear a 6-foot fence, according to Lacerte. “It’s very rare for them to outright attack a human,” Lacerte said, claiming she recalled only one incident in which a person was bitten by a coyote while feeding it. Dailey also said the metro district ran into an incident when a fast food restaurant dumped food out to feed the coyotes. Both Lacerte and Daily emphasized that residents should not feed any type of wildlife. Lacerte said that it’s useful to know how to “haze” coyotes — looking

ed expenses. The Senate set aside the fleet money for this year’s budget in a placeholder funding area, until it is moved to another area within the budget. Henry Sobanet, the state’s budget director, said that the funding is expected to come from the state’s Tax Payer Bill of Rights reserves and through the delaying of paying back certain cash funds. “I think we’ll get the funding from the exact places where we want to see it come from,” Sobanet said. Alan Salazar, Hickenlooper’s chief strategist, said the governor’s office believes this is a large investment worth undertaking. “We don’t throw $20 million around lightly,” Salazar said. “But in the context of the potential costs of the fire and getting ahead of it, the consensus... is that this is a wise new position for the state to take.”

big and being loud or throwing rocks — to train the animals to keep away from humans. HRMD will also perform home assessments if residents report problems with coyotes wandering on their property. Coyotes need food, water, shelter and space, all things that can be found in someone’s back, Dailey said, citing an occasion where a group of coyotes denned under someone’s deck. “They travel wherever the food supply is,” Dailey said. Although sometimes HRMD receives reports about coyotes weighing 100 pounds, Lacerte said that “a really big coyote is 40 pounds.” “It’s not a huge animal,” she said. Residents can file a report with the metro district’s Open Space Information Center after a coyote encounter, something the organization tracks for the public. For more information, residents can call the metro district at 303-791-2710 or visit www.highlandsranch.org/services/ natural-resources/open-space-information-center.

Buzz builds with CU campus kick-off CU to offer classes at The Wildlife Experience beginning this fall By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Anticipation is building for the fall opening of a University of Colorado campus at The Wildlife Experience. A well-attended welcoming reception at the Parker museum April 3 kicked off the beginning of what’s being billed as a symbiotic partnership. Business professionals will have a place close to home to continue their education, and employers will gain easier access to resources and a growing pool of highlyeducated workers. Dave Liniger, founder of the wildlife art and natural history museum, said he never imagined The Wildlife Experience would host university-level classes. “This is a tremendous opportunity to fully utilize the facility,” said Liniger, who also created real estate giant RE/MAX with his wife, Gail, in the early 1970s. More than 7,400 square-feet of exhibit space on the second floor of The Wildlife Experience will be turned into classroom space and nearly 4,000 square-feet in the basement will house a simulation lab for nursing students. Fields of study were selected based on the

industries most represented in the residential populations and office buildings of Douglas and Arapahoe counties. The College of Engineering and Applied Science is opening with a partially-formed collection of classes, including software engineering, computer forensics and programming. The University of Colorado’s south campus will have a business school where students can earn a certificate in general business with for-credit courses that can be used toward a Master’s in Business Administration or specialty master’s degree. The business school will also offer a series of accelerated non-credit courses on high-demand topics. Those classes are expected to be popular among professionals advancing through the ranks of their company. Some courses and programs have prerequisites. Three related disciplines — nursing, public health and human development — are playing into the south metro area’s recentlyacquired status as a healthcare hotbed. A stretch of C-470 and E-470 has been dubbed the “medical mile” by local leaders, who point to the opening of Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine and continued success of Parker Adventist Hospital and outlying medical offices as a positive step for the region, both in terms of accessible care and jobs. Sky Ridge Medical Center, likewise, is a four-minute drive from The Wildlife Experience. Maureen Durkin, assistant dean for strategic development and evaluation for CU’s college of nursing, said her department is eager

to work hand-in-hand with established facilities in a region that’s “growing by leaps and bounds.” The move to the south metro area also provides some breathing room. “Our nursing program at the Anschutz campus — we’re a little bit constrained in our numbers, and so this allows us to admit more students into the nursing program,” Durkin said. Thirty-six students will take nursing classes this fall, with possible growth in the future. The courses will fulfill the continuing education requirements demanded of working nurses. Liniger said the expansion of the program will also help address the lingering shortage of nurses. Liniger has battled significant health problems and told the reception crowd that he has a deep appreciation for nurses. Citing Douglas County’s recent designation as the second fastest-growing county for job growth nationwide, CU president Bruce Benson said the opening of The Wildlife Experience campus could help it grab the No. 1 spot. Maureen Taylor, chief executive officer at Sky Ridge Medical Center, said healthcare is among the top five industries for job growth. Students who attend the Colorado School of Public Health will have the ability to earn a certificate in health industry analytics, readying them for today’s constantly-changing health care market. The hybrid courses will enable working professionals to split their time between classroom learning and online classes.

Bruce Benson, president of the University of Colorado, speaks to those who gathered for a reception celebrating CU’s arrival at The Wildlife Experience. The satellite campus will open this fall and offer six areas of study. Photo by Chris Michlewicz David Goff, dean of the Colorado School of Public Health, said he hopes to partner with local hospitals and practitioners on health need assessments and suicide prevention campaigns. The university could also work with schools on nutrition programs and in-home studies on how, for example, home allergens impact health, Goff said. More information about enrollment and classes can be found at www.CUsouthdenver.org.

LEGISLATIVE BRIEFS Senate passes long bill

Plumbing fixtures bill leads to partisan battle

The Senate passed the annual state budget bill on April 4, with bipartisan support. The $23 billion “long bill” had previously passed the House. The Senate’s work included the passage of an amendment that sets aside $21 million for the creation of a state aerial firefighting fleet. The 2014-2015 fiscal year budget features a $200 million increase in K-12 education funding and $100 million that would backfill education budget cuts that the Legislature enacted during recession years. The bill also includes $100 million in additional higher education funding and provides relief for homeowners who were impacted by last year’s floods and wildfires. The long bill now heads back to the House for the consideration of Senate amendments.

A bill that would prohibit the sale of low-efficiency plumbing fixtures in Colorado is on its way to the governor’s desk. The bill would ban the sale of faucets, shower heads and toilets that are not “WaterSense” certified by the federal government. The ban would take effect in 2016. The bill had previously passed the Senate and it received similar debate in the House last week, with Democrats arguing that the changes could conserve billions of gallons of water. But Republicans said the bill is another example of government telling people what to do. Gov. John Hickenlooper has not given any indication as to whether he intends to sign the bill.

Flood relief bill passes House Changes made to a flood relief bill appeased Republicans in the House on April 4. The legislation provides tax relief for victims who were impacted by last year’s floods. The bill also provides relief for future victims whose homes might be destroyed by a natural disaster. Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee

said during a recent hearing that they were concerned about the ongoing cost to the state. That problem seemed to have been fixed on April 4, when the bill was amended to create a process that allows future legislatures to conduct reviews of the legislation. The bill received initial approval through a voice vote in the House and was expected to pass with overwhelming bipartisan support during a final vote that was scheduled for April 7.

Remote testimony bill advances

Residents of rural parts of Colorado may no longer have to drive several hours to testify on legislation at the Capitol, under a bill that passed a House panel on March 31. House Bill 1303 — sponsored by House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver and Rep. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction — would allow legislative committees to take remote testimony from witnesses from different parts of the state. Videoconferencing links would be set up in a few different areas of the state, with a requirement that one of the links be set up in the Western Slope. The bill received unanimous support from the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee and now heads to the Appropriations Committee for further consideration.

Changes expected to American Indian tuition bill Classification of specific tribes becomes roadblock for measure’s advancement By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that seeks to provide tuition relief for out-of-state American Indian students will be scaled back because of difficulties over the cost assessment of the legislation, according to the bill sponsor. The original intention of House Bill 1124 was to allow all students living out of state who have tribal connections to Colorado to receive in-state tuition rates at

state colleges and universities. But the legislation is expected to be amended to apply only to incoming students and not American Indians who are currently enrolled. “What do you say to that person?” said Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, the bill sponsor. “Maybe that’s something we can work on next year.” Salazar said the changes to the bill became necessary after learning more about how colleges and universities count American Indian students. Under the bill, only students who are among one of the 48 federally recognized tribes that have historical ties to Colorado qualify for in-state tuition. But Salazar said that estimating costs is difficult because schools don’t dig deep into the specific

tribal backgrounds of students. The Legislative Council estimates that the bill’s first-year cost to the state will exceed $668,000. Also, state colleges and universities were estimated to lose more than $5 million in tuition revenue under the original version of the bill. However, they are expected to see an increase of students who wouldn’t otherwise attend their schools. But all of those statistics would be difficult to calculate under the current system of American Indian student calculation, which Salazar calls a counting system that results in “pie in the sky numbers.” “They have a bunch of students out there who just check the box and say they’re American Indian, but they don’t prove which tribe they’re from,” Salazar

said. “They can have, as you sometimes hear, a Cherokee Indian princess grandmother, and they mark the box, `American Indian.’” Salazar said the changes to the bill could end up being a good thing because colleges would then have to start classifying the specific tribes from which students belong. He also said that the cost to the state “would be quite minimal, if anything at all,” once the bill is amended. “I did run it past stakeholders and the stakeholders said it’s better to have instate tuition for American Indian students than not,” Salazar said. “And if it looks like the bill is going to die because of a wrong fiscal note, then we don’t want the bill to die.”

news in a hurry Watch out for street sweepers To remove sand and debris that has accumulated during the winter months, Douglas County will begin street sweeping on April 14 in residential areas of Highlands Ranch. Sweepers will begin in the eastern area of Highlands Ranch and move west, as weather permits. Signs will be placed at the entrance of subdivisions the day before sweeping is scheduled to help notify the community when the service will occur. Because parked vehicles on residential streets make it difficult for operators to reach sand and other debris along the curb line, please assist street sweepers by removing parked vehicles and other obstructions from the street during the time when sweepers are scheduled for your subdivision. To report excess roadway debris for removal, please call

303-660-7480. For additional information please visit www. douglas.co.us/publicworks.

Police investigate alleged student/teacher relationship

Parkinson’s surgery changing lives

Staff report

By Jane Reuter

Castle Rock Police are investigating allegations of an inappropriate relationship between a Castle View High School teacher and a student. Detectives are working to determine if any criminal activity has occurred and all individuals who may be involved. The investigation is in the early stages. Castle Rock Police want to remind parents to talk to their children about appro-

priate versus inappropriate relationships. If parents are concerned about something they hear from their child, they are asked to call police. Because no charges have been filed, no additional information is available at this time. The Castle Rock Police Department remains in close contact with officials from the Douglas County School District. If you have any information you would like to share, please call Detective Mike Williams, 303-663-6125.

Area doctor among handful performing technique jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia. com Centennial resident John Bauer describes the surgery that eased his Parkinson’s disease symptoms as a small miracle. “I have an increase in energy and just feel overall better,” said the 66-year-old, diagnosed with the disease 10 years ago. “Now I only take one Parkinson’s medication, and that’s 50 percent of what it was. I used to take three (medications).” Bauer underwent a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation at Littleton Adventist Hospital. Dr. David VanSickle, who also performs the procedure at Lone Tree’s Sky Ridge Medical Center, inserts electrodes into the brains of those suffering from Parkinson’s disease. The electrical stimulation blocks abnormal nerve signals that cause many of Parkinson’s most troublesome symptoms. “If not the most, it’s one of the most effective treatments,” VanSickle said. “Quality of life will improve 25 to 30 percent.” About 60,000 people are diagnosed with the disease annually. VanSickle is among a handful of doctors nationally who perform the procedure while patients are asleep. That not only reduces patients’ stress, it cuts down on the time required for surgery and allows VanSickle greater accuracy in placing the electrodes. The surgical treatment is most effective for treating the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s, including tremors, rigidity and limited facial expression. That final symptom “hurts their relationships with their family members,”

Among other improvements, Centennial resident John Bauer’s dexterity improved after his surgery, enhancing his playing ability. Photo by Jane Reuter VanSickle said, because loved ones are unable to read facial expressions. “People do it for the tremor,” he said. “But the number one result they like is the facial expressions. I hear people say, ‘Thank you for giving me my wife or husband back. This is the person I married.’” After years of living with the disease, Bauer’s symptoms worsened significantly in 2013, prompting him to move forward with the surgery. “The biggest thing I’ve noticed is when I’m driving,” he said. “Before, I was really afraid to drive; it was just the way my nervous system was reacting.” Bauer now drives with ease and confidence. Because he’s caring for his ailing wife, that’s vital for them both. “I trained as a neurosurgeon, but I fell in love with this patient population,” VanSickle said. “You make half as much as you would as a spine surgeon. But they are really nice people. And they get quite a bit better. I believe in it.”

Talking equality at Bemis Library Residents remember King’s visit 50 years ago

FILM EXPLORES FIGHT FOR MARRIAGE RIGHTS

By Jennifer Smith

THOSE WHO participated in the “Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle” film discussion series at Littleton’s Bemis Library on April 2 viewed clips from “The Loving Story,” a documentary about interracial married couple Richard and Mildred Loving.

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Martin Luther King Jr. visited Littleton 50 years ago, the city’s “nonwhite” population was a mere 0.3 percent. Today it’s 11 percent, though just 1.4 percent of those are black. That’s despite the fact that a group of Littleton residents worked very hard in the `60s to diversify the city’s population via the creation of the Littleton Council on Human Relations, the group that convinced King to visit what was then one of the largest — and whitest — suburbs in the state. On April 2, Dr. Charles Fraser and Dr. Elinor Greenberg visited Bemis Library to talk a little about those days during the “Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle” film discussion series, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and Colorado Humanities Council to mark the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. “We heard King was coming to Denver, but Denver didn’t have too much of a problem,” said Fraser. “We said, `You’ve got to go to Littleton. It’s white, and there’s nothing going on down there.’ Everybody who was anybody got together and wanted to start the Littleton council, and it became almost a model for other places in the country.” Greenberg said a catalyst for the group was when Martin Marietta, now Lockheed Martin, hired a black engineer from out of state. His wife, who Greenberg said was very light-skinned, got to Littleton ahead of him to house hunt. She found one, and her husband came out to see it. Upon seeing the husband, the builder changed the locks and refused to sell to the couple.

INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE was illegal in their home state of Virginia, and they were arrested in a nighttime raid on their home in 1958, shortly after they had gotten married in nearby Washington, D.C. “IT WAS more about just reminding blacks that they’re inferior and whites are superior,” said facilitator Patricia Richard, a history professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver. “It was to keep them from socially mixing, so it would not lead to sexual mixing.”

Dr. Charles Fraser and Dr. Elinor Greenberg reminisce about the days with the Littleton Council on Human Relations back in the 1960s. Photo by Jennifer Smith Greenberg said that was very common in Littleton at the time, and real-estate agents would usually steer people of color away from town. Attitudes were changing far less quickly than Littleton was growing with the arrival of Martin Marietta and Marathon Oil, and Greenberg said she and others who were working toward change often encountered hostility. “My neighbor seriously objected,” she remembers. “He said, `You are going to ruin our neighborhood, and you are doing things to cause our property values to go down.’” She and he didn’t talk for another 25 years, said Greenberg. But the council continued its work, and ultimately worked with legislators to get fair-housing bills passed. They also made sure a lot of real-estate agents attended King’s speech on Jan. 24,

1964, at Grace Presbyterian Church. “We’re struggling in the final analysis to save the soul of our nation,” he told them. “We’re struggling also to save the image of our nation. Therefore it is imperative for the nation to work passionately and unrelentingly now to get rid of this cancer of segregation and discrimination.” Littleton continues its efforts to welcome diversity, notably through the immigrant resource center based at Bemis — one of just two libraries in the state to host the film series. There is one session left, on May 7. The film is “Freedom Riders,” and special guest Carlotta Walls LaNier will share her experiences as one of the “Little Rock Nine” who integrated Little Rock Central High School in 1957. To register or for more information, visit www.littletongov.org or call 303-795-3961.

THE AMERICAN Civil Liberties Union later took the case, and fought for the Lovings all the way up to the Supreme Court, finally winning a unanimous verdict striking down the law nine years after the arrest. By then, the couple — who had been required to leave the state to avoid prison — had two children. “THEY MAY be poor, and they may be low-class, as they say, but they were determined,” recalls grown daughter Peggy Loving in the film.

BRENDA AMES remembers the case well, because she too was a young black woman living in the South at the time. She was on the front lines of the civil-rights movement, she said, though she remembers lots of black parents trying to shield their children from all that was going on. “THEY THOUGHT, `I’m going through this so you don’t have to go through this, and you don’t need to know about this,’” she said.

Ice cream eatery the bombe

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! And the Hilltop and Crestmoor neighborhoods may be screaming the loudest now that the High Point Creamery is coming soon at 215 S. Holly St. on the southwest corner of Holly and Cedar. Husband and wife team Chad Stutz and Erika Thomas are opening their first retail location of High Point Creamery this spring with several more planned. The signature item will be the “bombe,” which Thomas describes as “a molded ice cream dessert that has its origins in Victorian-era France. First we layer ice cream, let it harden, and then we add a meringue, let that harden and then top it off with another layer of delicious ice cream. All of this then sets in an authentic copper mold from the 1960s. After it hardens, the bombe is removed from its mold and sliced like a cake to serve.” High Point also will serve sorbets and unusual ice cream toppings such as candied violets or black lava salt. The Creamery plans to host chefs from notable area restaurants to collaborate on their own specialty offerings.

SUMMER CAMP 2014 THE WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE

HALF DAY CAMPS

This piece from Rocky Heights Middle School 8th grader Karin Yi is among the student artwork displayed as part of the DCSD art show, which runs through April 13 at the Outlets at Castle Rock. Courtesy photo

Weekly June 2 - August 8 Ages 5-7 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Outlets host huge student art show Castle Rock event highlights works of 2,000 kids, teachers By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The artwork of more than 2,000 Douglas County School District students and teachers is featured in the DCSD Art Show at the Outlets at Castle Rock. The pieces will be on display from April 10-13. An artist’s reception is from 5 to 8 p.m. April 11. The annual show traditionally was held at Park Meadows shopping center, but show coordinator Pamela Cogburn said the outlet center offered a larger space. “At Park Meadows, the space was smaller so we had to run each level — elementary, middle, then high — for four weeks,” said Cogburn, an art teacher at Castle Rock’s Renaissance Expeditionary School. “This time, they’re all going to be together. Because of all the schools in Douglas County, that also means it’s going to be a huge show.” Located in the parking lot in front of the Levi’s store and open for viewing during store hours, the show will represent work from k-12 students. “I’m a little nervous since it’s something we really haven’t done to this

scale before,” said Rocky Heights Middle School art teacher Kim Chlumsky. But her excitement about her students’ work overcomes any trepidation. “I don’t want all my students to have the same project, so I usually give them a theme or a question for the project,” she said. “Just letting them go and have that freedom, you get a lot of amazing results.” Among those results is a digital artwork piece created with Photoshop by eighthgrader Karin Yi. The piece depicts a crowd of figures on which random words are written. One figure among them is emblazoned with the words “This is me, different, originality, individual.” A large question mark hovers above the gathering. Yi said the figure doesn’t represent her specifically. “It represents individuality, people who basically break apart from all the crowds, from all the normal people who are afraid to stand up and speak out,” she said. “The question mark represents doubt and not knowing who you are and where you stand.” Yi doesn’t intend to pursue a career in art, but enjoys the process. “I’ve been in the district art show before, and I love it,” she said. The Rocky Mountain School of Art and Design also will award a $20,000 Community Scholarship to a 2014 Douglas County graduate.

Before Care Available 7:30 am - 9:00 am We offer Half-Day campers the opportunity to attend three different camp sessions with varying themes, Backbone Bonanza, Creepy Crawlies Revealed or Urban Animals Rediscovered. Children are invited to delve into Half-Day Camp expeditions that include thrilling live animal demonstrations, Extreme Screen Theater movies, interactive exhibits, hiking, science experiments, games, crafts and MORE!

Come with questions. Come as you are.

If you think of Jesus as one of those stained-glass saints – think again. He surprised, shocked and challenged those who abused power, and opened doors to those who had been excluded. He not only turned the tables, he turned over tables. If you are ready to experience an UNEXPECTED Jesus who split calendars in half, then don’t miss Easter Sunday.

Security specialist finds joy in work Apple Award winner says students, life ample reason to smile By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Pete Mazula exudes a curious combination of joy and fierceness. Both are inspired by the students at Mountain Ridge Middle School in Highlands Ranch, where the 60-year-old Mazula has spent 10 years as a security specialist. “I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love it here and how much I love my kids,” he said. “I’d do anything for these guys. I’d take a bullet for any one of these kids without even thinking about it.” That brand of dedication resulted in Mazula being named the Douglas County School District Apple Award for 2014’s School Employee of the Year. Not only does Mazula work security, he coaches track and boys basketball. He knows and connects so deeply with the students and their parents that he’s attended Eagle Scout ceremonies and other off-site student events. Because he directs parent traffic twice daily, his is the first face most students see every morning, and the last they see at the end of the school day. “I’m out there in the rain, snow, it doesn’t matter — I’m always smiling,” Ma-

zula said. From Mazula’s perspective, he has plenty to smile about. A 20-year West Metro Fire Rescue firefighter and Jefferson County sheriff’s reserve officer, he was forced to retire from firefighting after contracting hepatitis C and undergoing a liver transplant. The disease typically is contracted by blood-to-blood contact, and while Mazula can’t be sure, he believes he became infected as a firefighter while treating an intravenous drug user. “When I first started (firefighting), we didn’t have rubber gloves,” he said. Post-surgery and in his 40s, Mazula knew he was too young to retire. His firefighting career had included work with juvenile arsonists and burn victims, responsibilities he’d treasured for the time spent with children. That led him to apply for school security posts, and to Mountain Ridge. One decade later, Mazula intends to stay at least another five years. “The kids keep me young,” said the married father of two adult children. His steady presence has earned the students’ trust. Mazula said the children confide personal worries and concerns about other students, knowing the information will be taken seriously even while their names remain confidential. “I think they feel safe, yet they also know they can come to us,” he said. Mazula shares his personal history dur-

Photo by Jane Reuter ing health classes at Mountain Ridge, hoping it will teach children not only about disease and health issues, but resiliency. “I’m not a professional teacher, but I’m an educator because of the things I

went through with my illnesses,” he said. “I made it through two liver transplants, a broken neck and prostate cancer, and I’m still here. Probably that’s the reason I smile so much.”

Golden Eagles shine on diamond Mountain Vista wraps up non-league slate with 7-1 mark By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com Mountain Vista baseball coach Ron Quintana likes to schedule tough non-league games to get his team prepared to compete in the Continental League. The Golden Eagles, which defeated Dakota Ridge 8-2 in an April 2 game at Mountain Vista wrapped up the non-league portion of their schedule with a 5-4 win April 5 at Brighton. “The league is always tough,” said Quintana whose team enters league play with a 7-1 record. “That’s why we play good play teams like Dakota and Brighton. We always try to play Creek. We are always trying to get better.” Mountain Vista won four games in the Coach Bob Invitational tournament in Phoenix and the Golden Eagles only loss came in the season opener against Cherry Creek. “We lost to Creek in the Elite Eight last season,” continued Quintana. “A week later this group had a team meeting and I knew then that it was going to be a good group and it was going to be fun. When guys want to win and play for each other, it’s fun. “Last year we had some talent. We had a good senior group. This year we have a better group overall. The kids get along, they do stuff together, hang out, they are willing to go to battle for each other. That’s huge. We have great leadership.” After eight games, Mountain Vista was hitting .372 as a team led by senior Brian Froechtenigt who hit eighth in the lineup against Dakota Ridge. Froechtenigt is hitting .643.

Photo by Jerry Healey Junior second baseman Marc Mumper is hitting .455 and junior catcher Brady Subart, a basketball standout who wears prescription goggles when he plays, is hitting .435. Senior shortstop Jack Strunc has chipped in with a .500 average. Dakota Ridge starting pitcher Jake Stecki silenced the Golden Eagle bats in the April 2 game and had a perfect game for 3 1/3 innings until Mumper sparked a five-run upris-

ing with a drag bunt down the third base line. “He had a perfect game,” said Mumper who made two outstanding leaping defensive plays to snare line drives during the game. “He was throwing so slow. He was good; he was on. He was beating us so I just thought I might as well change it up. “So I tried to get a bunt down and get something going. Even if I’m out I still thought I’d have a chance to get something going and

change up his rhythm a little bit. We got going a little bit after that.” Subart beat out an infield hit to keep the inning alive and has 11 of his team-leading 14 runs batted in during the past four games. “I just had to get back into the swing of things and just get into a routine,” explained Subart. “It was a struggle at first after basketEagles continues on Page 25

Fielding the spotlight at shortstop Nick Shumpert, son of big leaguer, ranked No. 4 prospect in nation By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Once upon a time, Nick Shumpert wanted to play basketball at the University of Kentucky. Shumpert, a junior at Highlands Ranch, has verbally committed to play for the Wildcats but he’ll be playing baseball, not basketball when he gets to Lexington. According to MaxPreps, Shumpert is rated fourth among the top 50 players in the country for the class of 2015. Shumpert, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound shortstop, played half a season of basketball as a sophomore at Highlands Ranch after transferring from Heritage. It was then he listened to his Dad, former major leaguer Terry Shumpert, and his cousin Mookie Bettis — a highly regarded second basemen in the Boston Red Sox organization — and Nick made the tough decision to abandon basketball. Now that Shumpert is focusing on just baseball, he could be a high draft choice in major league baseball’s draft or an excellent recruit for the Kentucky baseball program. “I just wanted to focus on baseball and get better,” said Shumpert. “Next summer is going to be a big one and I want to be the best than I can be.” Terry Shumpert played mainly as a second baseman for 14 years in the major leagues including five seasons with the Colorado Rockies. He enjoys throwing batting practice to Nick, hitting ground balls and offering advice while trying not to push too hard or say too much. “I’m just thankful that I was blessed with

Highlands Ranch junior shortstop Nick Shumpert is rated fourth among the top 50 players in the country for the class of 2015, according to MaxPreps.com. Photo by Jim Benton a son that plays baseball,” he said. “I believe I never missed the game because I have a son that plays. “He had always played football and basketball. Last summer was the first he didn’t play basketball. I did give him my advice.” Terry Shumpert told his son that it was time to unleash his potential as a baseball player. Kevin Askeland, national baseball writer for Max Preps, says Nick Shumpert made a shrewd choice. “He seems to be moving up the charts pretty quickly,” said Askeland. “Perfect Game has him ranked No. 4 and other prospect guides have him as the first or second best shortstop in the Class of 2015. “People are seeing him and all the tools he has. He quit basketball to focus more on working with his Dad and working on his skills. It has really paid off for him because he

is getting higher and higher on these recruiting lists.” Shumpert played last summer on a Marucci Elite 17 Under traveling team based out of Houston, was a defensive standout at the Area Code Games and participated in the Under Armour All-American game. He has since been invited to play in the 2014 Under Armour game, which will be played Aug. 16 at Wrigley field. This spring, however, Shumpert is helping Highlands Ranch win games. “I’m just hoping we can have a winning season and make it to the playoffs,” he related. “You can always improve. You are never good enough so I’m just trying to improve every part of my game, hitting, fielding, everything. “There is no pressure. I’m just trying to get better each game. I’m working with my Dad to be a high draft choice and someday

hopefully I will be able to play in the major leagues.” Terry Shumpert claims there are many things for his son to work on. “When we go out we work on offense, defense and just everything,” said the elder Shumpert. “I’ve trained him since he was little. Everything I did in the offseason is what he does. That’s just trying to be the best baseball player he can be. And, you can’t beat game experience.” After eight games, Shumpert is hitting .370 with a .500 on-base percentage and a .703 slugging percentage, with six stolen bases and two errors in 39 chances. Nick Shumpert has excellent range and a good arm to make both routine and highlight plays at shortstop. He has quick hands as a hitter and has displayed the power to produce extra base hits into the outfield gaps. “He’s as good of athlete as I’ve ever coached,” said Highlands Ranch coach John Cackowski. “He’s obviously been brought up in the baseball world. Everybody talks about Nick, about how good of athlete he is, but people don’t realize how smart of a baseball player he is. And he’s a team player. The guys on the team love him and he loves his teammates. He always has a smile on his face. He doesn’t get too down. He has a great temperament. “He’s good offensively and defensively. He makes plays both ways. He makes plays that high school players can’t make. He can charge a ball and he’s got such a strong arm.” Highlands Ranch played its second game of the season March 13 against Dakota Ridge at Coors Field, where his Dad played. Shumpert was a batboy for the Rockies when his Dad was on the team but it was special that Highlands Ranch had the opportunity to play at Coors Field. “Now it’s a great experience to have played at Coors and it felt weird playing shortstop where Tulo (Troy Tulowitzki) plays,” said Shumpert. “It was fun to play out at Coors Field.”

Prior to the start of the Heritage Invitational girls golf tournament March 31 at The Golf Club at Ravenna, several coaches felt that 85 would be a good score. Cool, windy conditions on the tough course resulted in soaring scores. The 5,654-yard layout from the umber tees located in Waterton Canyon has 11 bunkers, tricky greens and side hill lies on almost every fairway. There were 75 golfers who competed in the tournament and the average score was 105.2 but there were 12 golfers that did manage to shoot 85 or lower. Mary Weinstein of Regis Jesuit took medalist honors with a 3-over-par 74 while Arapahoe’s Hannah Wood and senior Samantha Barker of Highlands Ranch came home with rounds of 77 to finish tied for second place. Heritage sophomore Delaney Benson had a 79 to take fourth. Wood, a senior who will be playing next season for the University of Oklahoma, was 3-under after the front nine but faded on the backside. “It’s a mental thing,” said Wood. “The

Rod Dobbs has been named the new head football coach at Chaparral High school, replacing John Vogt who resigned after seven years at the helm. Dobbs has been the offensive coordinator at Chaparral for the past five seasons. The former all-state player at Denver’s John F.

wind was the thing. There are a lot of blind shots on the back nine. It was my second time playing the course and it was hard for me to remember the back nine. I could have done a lot better.” Barker recorded a triple bogey on her first hole but recovered and notched a respectable score. “Sam played well,” said Samantha’s father and Highlands Ranch coach James Barker. “She got off to a bad start but righted the ship. She missed a bunch of short putts or it could have been a really good day. “She said she missed five 5-footers and some of those were for birdies. It could have been a great day but it was still a good day. It was a tough day to play golf.” Benson may have had the shot of the day with a hole-in-one on the 104-yard third hole. “I hit my gap wedge,” she said. “It kind of just bounced and rolled right in. It was pretty cool. The wind was pretty strong so I had to club up. That was my first hole-inone. I’m pretty happy. I had a good round.” Regis captured the team title with a 240 total of the lowest three scores recorded. Arapahoe was second at 253. Rock Canyon, led by Michelle Romano’s 87, was third with 264 points followed by Heritage and Highlands Ranch. Andrea Ballou of Valor Christian carded an 82 to pace the Eagles to a sixth place finish.

ball until we played down in Arizona. Once we got through the first two days in Arizona it was all right.” Senior right-hander Nick Leonard scattered four hits and struck out 14 batters to earn his third win of the season in the game against Dakota Ridge. “I don’t think of myself as a strikeout pitcher,” said Leonard who throws a fastball, splitter and curve. “My main focus is to try and get ground balls and pop-ups and let my defense work around me. When strikeouts come it’s just an added bonus.” Leonard has been getting a lot of bonuses this season. He has recorded 14 strikeouts in two separate games and has fanned a total of 31 batters in 23 innings pitched while compiling a 0.61 earned run average. “We’re getting into our season now,” he said. “We’re starting to come along. Everyone is hitting the ball, we’re playing good defense and all of all our pitchers are doing well.” Mountain Vista opened league play April 7 against Highlands Ranch.

Ducks Unlimited chapter honored for fundraising Staff report The Highlands Ranch chapter of Ducks Unlimited, a waterfowl conservation organization, was recognized nationally for its fundraising efforts. “These fundraising events are the backbone of DU’s habitat conservation efforts, and the volunteers who make up these chapters are the grassroots force making a difference for North American waterfowl populations,” said DU President George Dunklin. “It takes a great deal of effort to achieve the President’s Elite level, and these chapters deserve to be congratulated by every person who enjoys the outdoors.” The chapter earned a spot in the President’s Elite out of the more than 2,600 DU chapters nationwide. Ducks Unlimited’s event fundraising system has funded a significant portion of the more than 13 million acres of wetlands and associated habitat the organization has conserved since 1937. Every year, the list is reserved for the chapters that raise $100,000 or more for DU’s habitat conservation work. In 2013, the Highlands Ranch chapter made the list as one of the organization’s best fundraising chapters. “DU chapters across the country are showing that the future of waterfowl populations and the wetlands that filter our drinking water and protect us from flooding are important to them and to their communities,” Dunklin said. “The more money we raise, the more habitat we can conserve and the closer we are to preserving our waterfowl hunting heritage. I would like to personally thank all our President’s Elite chapters for their achievement and look forward to seeing them among our distinguished chapters next year.” Ducks Unlimited Inc. is the world’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North America’s continually disappearing waterfowl habitats.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 7, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A suggestion from a colleague on how to work out a problem might not sit too well with you.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) An associate might seek your counsel on a workplace dispute with another co-worker. listen to what she or he has to say, but withhold advice until you’ve heard the other side of the story. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Use your Twin gifts for creativity and practicality to score points in landing an opportunity that could open doors to a new career. Someone returns after a long absence.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Although things are pretty hectic through much of the week, some quiet time with loved ones helps restore balance. An unexpected visitor brings welcome news about a mutual friend. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Getting used to change isn’t always easy for the Big Cat. But make the adjustments gradually, and soon you’ll hardly remember when things were any different from how they are now. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Continue to stay the course you’ve chosen, and avoid distractions that could throw you off track. Some knowledgeable folks are happy to provide guidance if you need it. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Although you earned plaudits from most co-workers for your recent stand on a workplace situation, you also raised the envy quotient among others. Tread carefully for now. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You feel more positive about that delayed project, and you’re ready to pick it up on a moment’s notice. However, you might need to re-motivate those who have since lost interest. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Some welcome news should be coming your way. in the meantime, use that Sagittarius charm to persuade some stillreluctant colleagues that your ideas have merit. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Don’t wait for a misunderstanding to work itself out. instead, ask for a chance to explain the circumstances before those bruised feelings lead to an irreversible break. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A physical problem should be checked out in order to avoid it going from just being a nuisance to something more serious. Your social life takes an unexpected but not unwelcome turn. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Yours might be the wisest sign in the Zodiac. But you still could benefit from the wisdom of a close friend who has suggestions on how to handle a perplexing personal problem. BORN THIS WEEK: Your passion for doing the right thing inspires others to follow your well-trodden path toward justice. © 2014 King Features Synd., inc.

Reg. #: 13865 E-mail: jthirkel@douglas.co.us CASE NUMBER: 14JV18 * DIVISION 2 DEPENDENCY AND NEGLECT SUMMONS This Summons is initiated pursuant to Rules 2.2 and 4.2 of the Colorado Rules of Juvenile Procedure, Rule 4 of the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure, and Section 19-3-503, C.R.S. 2013. TO: STEPHANIE BENEDICT: You are hereby notified that a petition has been filed which alleges that the above-named child is dependent or neglected based upon the factual allegations and legal definitions of dependency or neglect set forth in the Dependency and Neglect Petition, a copy of which is served simultaneously with this Dependency Summons and additional copies of which may be obtained at the office of John Thirkell, at the above address. A Return of Service and Advisement Hearing has been set for April 21, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. in Division 2, Douglas County District Court, 4000 Justice Way, Castle Rock, Colorado, 80109. Your presence before this court is required to defend against the claims in this petition. IF YOU FAIL TO APPEAR, THE COURT WILL PROCEED IN YOUR ABSENCE, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE, TO CONDUCT AN ADJUDICATORY HEARING AND MAY ENTER A JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT THEREBY ADJUDICATING YOUR CHILD AS A DEPENDENT OR NEGLECTED CHILD. You have the right to request a trial by jury at the adjudicatory stage of this petition. You also have the right to legal representation at every stage of the proceedings by counsel of your own choosing, or if you are without sufficient financial means and meet the indigency guidelines established by the Colorado Supreme Court, appointment of counsel by the Court at state expense. Termination of your parent-child legal relationship to free your child for adoption is a possible remedy in this proceeding. If that remedy is pursued, you are entitled to a hearing before a Judge. You also have the right, if you are indigent, to have the Court appoint, at no expense to you, one expert witness of your own choosing at any hearing on the termination of your parent-child relationship. If you are a minor, you have the right to the appointment of a Guardian ad litem to represent your best interests. You have the right to have this matter heard by a district court judge rather than by the magistrate. You may waive that right, and in doing so, you will be bound by the findings and recommendations of the magistrate, subject to review as provided by section 19-1-108(5.5), C.R.S. 2013, and subsequently, to the right of appeal as provided by Colorado Appellate Rule 3.4. Rule 4.2 of the Colorado Rules of Juvenile Procedure provides for the following advisement about dependency and neglect cases: (a) At the first appearance before the court, the respondent(s) shall be fully advised by the court as to all rights and the possible consequences of a finding that a child is dependent or neglected. The court shall make certain that the respondent(s) understand the following: (1) The nature of the allegations contained in the petition; (2) As a party to the proceeding, the right to counsel; (3) That if the respondent(s) is a parent, guardian, or legal custodian, and is indigent, the respondent may be assigned counsel as provided by law. (4) The right to a trial by jury; (5) That any admission to the petition must be voluntary; (6) The general dispositional alternatives available to the court if the petition is sustained, as set forth in Section 19-3-508, C.R.S.; (7) That termination of the parent-child legal relationship is a possible remedy which is available if the petition is sustained; (8) That if a motion to terminate the parent-child legal relationship is filed, the court will set a separate hearing at which the allegations of the motion must be proven by clear and convincing evidence; (9) That termination of the parent-child legal relationship means that the subject child would be available for adoption; (10) That any party has the right to appeal any final decision made by the court; and (11) That if the petition is admitted, the court is not bound by any promises or representations made by anyone about dispositional alternatives selected by the court. (b) The respondent(s), after being advised, shall admit or deny the allegations of the petition. (c) If a respondent(s) admits the allegations in the petition, the court may accept the admission after making the following finding: (1) That the respondent(s) understand his or her rights, the allegations contained in the petition, and the effect of the admission; (2) That the admission is voluntary. (d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Rule to the contrary, the court may advise a non-appearing respondent(s) pursuant to this Rule in writing and may accept a written admission to the petition if the respondent has affirmed under oath that the respondent(s) understands the advisement and the consequences of the admission, and if, based upon such sworn statement, the court is able to make the find-
