Watch out for those cones Construction season ramps up in Highlands Ranch By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sidewalk repairs and concrete grinding are already well underway in Highlands Ranch, but three major capital improvement projects still linger on the horizon for area drivers as construction season gets into full swing — and jackhammer. A year removed from a record $18.3 million being spent on construction and road maintenance projects in the community, Douglas County this year has planned to spend between $10 million and $12 million on routine scheduled maintenance and the capital improve-

ment projects, said county spokeswoman Wendy Holmes. “There’s an investment being yet again in the roads in Highlands Ranch,” Holmes said, calling the aforementioned numbers a “conservative estimate.” The capital improvement projects are all still out to bid, but winning bids are expected to be selected and approved later this month, and once they are those numbers will be finalized. Those capital projects awaiting final approval include: • Summit View/Wildcat Reserve Parkway: Workers will conduct utility work at this well-trafficked school zone from May 29 until Aug. 18 as they prepare to expand the intersection in 2015, allowing for more free-flowing traffic during peak hours. • Quebec/C-470 Pedestrian Bridge: Construction is slated to begin on the west side of Quebec Street over C-470 in early June with a target completion date

of Oct. 31. • Quebec/Lincoln/University intersection improvements: Phase 2 of this multi-phase project is set to begin in mid-June and will involve the adding of a northbound right-turn lane from Quebec Street to Lincoln Avenue. Target completion date is Nov. 28. As per routine scheduled maintenance, much of it has already begun. Major grinding projects left over from 2013 that are being completed right now include the bulk of Highlands Ranch Parkway (from just west of Lucent to just west of University), Lucent Blvd. (from C-470 to Broadway) and Plaza Drive (from Lucent to Ridgeline Blvd.). Those projects are all expected to be complete by June 2. Major concrete repair and grinding work that is just getting underway and Cones continues on Page 25

Baby news video goes viral Highlands Ranch family moment has 1.4 million views By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Pure joy is an expression that’s universal — and apparently viral. A momentous occasion for a Douglas County family, caught on video, has led to a groundswell of social media sharing and light-hearted news segments. Jacob and Hannah Ouellette, who founded Thrive Church in Parker, wanted to ﬁnd a creative way to tell their two children about a new addition to the family. Mommy-to-be Hannah Ouellette came up with the idea of putting miniature sonogram images inside plastic eggs in the kids’ Easter baskets, but the hint didn’t immediately click with Faithlyn, 6, and Ethan, 3. So when dad revealed the news that “mommy’s going to have a baby,” the reaction was swift and priceless. First came the surprised looks on their faces, then Faithlyn confirming that she

Ron and Jill Olds were hoping for the best when they put their Castle Rock home on the market this April. After being told by a real estate agent a few years back they couldn’t get a penny more than $179,000, they decided to wait for the market to come back. Earlier this year, they decided they were ready to find their retirement home out in the country, and their agent encouraged them to list their three-bedroom Founders Village home at $225,000. They were hoping going in that high, they could get somewhere around $217,000. They also hoped they wouldn’t be sitting on it too long as they were starting to see properties they liked and weren’t sure how long those homes would stay on the market in what has quickly become a seller’s market. The Olds didn’t realize how much of a seller’s market it truly has become. The first day their house was on the market, the couple headed out for the day as a steady parade of real estate agents brought eight potential buyers to the house in the morning and their agent saw another 20 prospective buyers during an afternoon open house. At day’s end, the Olds had four offers on their home, all above list price. The highest bid had an escalation clause built in agreeing to pay as much as $240,000. “I was shocked,” Ron Olds said. “I didn’t believe it. Things don’t work like that for me. “I’m the one that buys high and sells low. A couple of years ago houses were selling for around $150,000 here and we couldn’t move, we couldn’t do anything.” Highlands Ranch-based broker Sean Reilly said he has seen more and more of these types of situations recently. Having been on both sides of the phenomenon, Reilly has watched a house he’s listed pick up 11 offers in three days, and he’s also had clients who have missed out on homes despite offering more than $15,000 over list price. “It’s a great time to sell, but a challenge to buy right now,” Reilly said. “If it is priced right, it’s going to go quick. If it’s in the ballpark, you better make a strong offer or otherwise you are going to miss out.” With confidence in the market having Housing continues on Page 26

Lawmakers: Moderates needed to further debate Every couple of years, the Legislature loses familiar faces, for better or for worse. Some have to leave because of term limits. But others decide on their own that government and politics just aren’t for them any more — giving us hope that politicians aren’t entirely crazy. It’s common for lawmakers who are leaving the Capitol to reflect on the past and look toward the future. But during recent conversations with three outgoing female lawmakers, I found it interesting how concerned they were over one thing in particular — the loss of moderate representation at the Capitol. “I think it’s very sad that three moderate women are opting out of a fourth term,” said Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge. Schafer referenced herself and Republican Reps. Carole Murray of Castle Rock and Cheri Gerou of Evergreen as three lawmakers whose exits will leave a void at the General Assembly. The three women — who have served in the House for a combined 18 years — have been known to cast votes that blur party lines. For example, Schafer sometimes bucks her party on small business issues. “I don’t always vote with my caucus,” she said. “Sometimes we have bad bills and so do the others across the aisle.”

Murray was a co-sponsor of the Student Success Act, a major bipartisan education bill. And she shed tears and raised eyebrows when she voted for last year’s bill that created civil unions in Colorado — joining only a few Republicans to do so. Gerou also voted for the civil unions bill and has often crossed the aisle on legislation, which sometimes ruffles the feathers of those on the more conservative wing of the Republican Party. Both Gerou and Murray said they are concerned that their party is losing touch with moderate voters. That’s been a struggle for a party that has not fared well at the state or national level in recent years. Gerou did not hesitate when I asked whether she was concerned about the state of her party. “Oh, absolutely,” she said. “It’ll guarantee that we’re in the minority for a really long

time. I talked to Sue Schafer and she’s concerned there’s no moderation, and it’s on both sides. But I think it’s your own party that bugs you the most because you expect certain things from the other party, but it disappoints you when your party does things you don’t like.” Gerou said it is social issues — such as gay marriage, debates over abortion and immigration reform — that is hurting the GOP brand. “I hope they stop focusing on social issues and get back to doing what Republicans have always done well, and that’s represent business,” Gerou said. “I wish the social issues would go away. “I look back at someone like Barry Goldwater, when they asked him his thoughts on gays in the military. And he said, `I don’t care. If they want to serve our country, let them serve our country.’ That’s the type of Republican I like to be around.” Murray agrees that social issues have hurt the party and have turned off many voters, including many Republicans. “It’s particularly difficult to the old-line, establishment Republicans who have not been accustomed to the social issues being brought into the conservation,” Murray said. “And the new Republicans, too. All of the young interns and aides at the Capitol have a

hard time relating to the hard stance that we take on certain issues. “I’ve had many friends who feel like they don’t recognize the party and that gives me pause. Because, as a party, we can’t be pushing people away. We need to find out a way to bring people in.” Murray said that Republicans should do more to reach out to Hispanics, who are growing in population and in political strength. “If we don’t bring them in — and soon — we may never win again,” Murray said. Gerou feels the same way and hopes that the party gets back on track by focusing on economic issues and not social ones. But don’t expect Gerou to change parties any time soon. “I’m not going to become a Democrat; I just can’t,” Gerou said while laughing. “I couldn’t do that to my grandparents. It’s like when I was younger, I couldn’t live with a guy because if my grandmother ever found out, I couldn’t face it. “I’m 58 years old and my grandmother still controls my life.” Vic Vela covers the Legislature for Colorado Community Media.

LEGISLATIVE BRIEFS Annual budget signed into law

Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law a $24 billion state budget on April 30 that includes increased funding for education and disaster relief. The annual long bill replaces some of the education funding that was lost during recession years and pumps $100 million into the higher education system. The budget also includes about $21 million that will go toward the leasing or purchasing of an aerial firefighting fleet. In addition, money will be set aside to provide assistance for those who are impacted by wildfires and flooding. Rainy day funding will jump from 5 percent to 6.5 percent, under the new budget.

Suicide commission clears Legislature

A bill that creates a suicide prevention commission is on its way to the governor’s desk. The legislation aims to provide answers as to why Colorado has such a high suicide rate. Colorado consistently ranks in the

top 10 of states with the highest number of suicides. Senate Bill 88 creates a state commission that provides recommendations to the governor’s office, the Legislature and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The bill passed the House on May 1 after it had previously passed the Senate. The bill was sponsored by Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, and Rep. Tracy KraftTharp, D-Arvada.

Missing woman found trapped in wreckage Hopkins reportedly spent days in crashed car before she was discovered By Hannah Garcia

Education measure goes to governor

A bill that provides $180 million dollars in new K-12 education funding is on its way to the governor’s desk. The Student Success Act puts $20 million toward third-grade reading programs and provides a uniform transparency system that allows the public to see how the new dollars are being spent. The bill also backfills $110 million in Briefs continues on Page 5

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Highlands Ranch woman who was reported missing in Douglas County apparently survived several days in a wrecked car before she was discovered in Park County, according to officials. Park County Sheriff’s deputies found Kristin M. Hopkins, 43, alive but in critical condition near Red Hill Pass off of U.S. Highway 285 on May 4. Hopkins was reported missing on April 29. Although he’s not sure exactly when she crashed the car, undersheriff Monte Gore said that she had been trapped in the wreckage for at least five days. Police found Hopkins after two people came into the sheriff’s office to report a dead body at 1:54 p.m. The individuals were driving down the highway before pulling off onto a mountain pass and seeing “a glint of a car,” Gore said. “He (one of the individuals in the car) hiked down and found the accident, then hiked back up” before making the report,

Gore said. They thought that Hopkins was deceased, he said. Hopkins was driving a red 2009 Chevrolet Malibu on southbound U.S. 285 four miles north of Fairplay when the car ran off the right side of the road in a left curve, according to the Colorado State Patrol. The car was airborne and hit several trees before continuing down a steep embankment, struck a large tree and rolled multiple times, coming to rest on its top, troopers said. The driver was found “conscious and coherent,” according to state troopers. Park County Sheriff Fred Wegener, who was on scene, said that it appeared the vehicle left the roadway and came to rest in an aspen grove approximately 140 feet off of the road and down an 80-foot embankment, according to PCSO. Before she was found, Hopkins was last seen on April 27, a week before she was found, as she was leaving work in Castle Pines at 7 p.m., according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. She was reported missing by a family member and her case was entered into the Colorado Crime Information Center. Park County Sheriff’s deputies, Fairplay Police, South Park Ambulance, Northwest Fire, Jefferson Como Fire and the Colorado State Patrol all responded to the scene. After she was removed from the car, she was airlifted to St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood.

the medical marijuana list. Wolk said the department has considered the addition of PTSD to the list twice before and rejected it both times. Wolk also said that there isn’t enough research to show that marijuana is an effective treatment for PTSD. Some committee members had legal concerns over the bill, with some wondering whether the legislation would be akin to lawmakers taking it upon themselves to changing Amendment 20 language in the state Constitution. “I don’t always think the right decision for us to make is, `Well, let’s just let the courts decide,’” said Rep. Tim Dore, R-Elizabeth, who opposed the bill. Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, said her opposition to the bill was personal. She said that marijuana use on the part of her child led to addictions to more dangerous drugs. “My personal life story is one that has shown marijuana to absolutely be a gateway drug and I watched it become a gateway drug from marijuana to Oxycontin to heroin for someone I love with all of my heart,” Conti said. The bill died following a 6-5 vote. Two Democrats — Reps. Jeanne Labuda and Angela Williams, both of Denver — joined all four Republican committee members in voting against the bill.

A bill that would have allowed marijuana to be used as a treatment option for post-traumatic stress disorder failed in a House committee on April 28. House Bill 1364 would have added PTSD to a list of eight other conditions that qualify sufferers for medical marijuana treatment. Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, a bill sponsor, argued that those with PTSD should be given the option to consult with doctors as to whether medical pot is a viable treatment option for their condition. That’s better practice than sufferers having to resort to figuring out their best pot pathway through retail pot shop clerks, he said. “Should it be the bud-tenders on Colfax or the doctors at Kaiser?” Singer asked the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. Colorado voters, through the 2000 passage of Amendment 20, approved eight conditions that qualify for medical pot treatment, including cancer,

glaucoma and AIDS. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has the ability to add other conditions to that list, but it has not done so since Amendment 20 passed. Several witnesses testified that marijuana has helped alleviate their PTSD symptoms, including military veterans who served in conflicts and wars, ranging from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. “Cannabis made it to where I don’t have to take any of these prescription drugs,” testified Sean Azzariti, an Iraq War veteran. “It saved my life.” Singer said that it should be up to doctors to decide what is best for their patients and cited high suicide rates among veterans as reason enough to keep all treatment options open. “I don’t think that every veteran who commits suicide… could have used medical marijuana and it would have saved their life. I don’t believe that for a second,” Singer said. “But I do believe that some of them might have been able to use this as a tool in their toolbox to have that conversation with their doctor to make the right decisions for them.” Key opposition testimony came from Dr. Larry Wolk, CDPHE’s chief medical officer. Wolk said that CDPHE already has a process in place that allows the department to add health conditions to

After a bill cruised through the Senate, the House last week put the brakes on the measure, which sought to ban red-light cameras and photo radar sys9:28 AM tems in Colorado. The legislation officially met its demise during a House Appropriations Committee hearing on April 30, but the bill’s sponsor, House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, had pretty much accepted its defeat before it even got there. Senate Bill 14 would have prohibited local governments from using photoradar technology to capture drivers who speed or run red lights. It was gutted by the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, which passed a stripped-down version of the bill on April 28. The gutted version only would have allowed for a state study of the technol-

ogy’s public-safety effectiveness, something that Ferrandino didn’t think was necessary. “I think we have enough studies to show that it’s not effective,” Ferrandino told the Appropriations Committee. Ferrandino and other bill supporters argued that photo-radar technology is a cash cow used by local governments to rack up revenue, courtesy of lead-foot drivers. The House speaker also said the technology does little to prevent accidents. “They give a sense of public safety, but don’t actually increase public safety,” Ferrandino said. But several law-enforcement representatives testified otherwise during the committee process. Supporters of the technology asserted that the devices serve as a blessing for understaffed police agencies and that the presence of the cameras curbs bad habits on the part of drivers. “If you just look at the money side and ignore the public-safety side, to me the public-safety side triumphs,” said Rep. Jeanne Labuda, D-Denver. The bill’s gutted version called for

an effectiveness study that would have been undertaken by the Colorado Department of Transportation. But House Appropriations Committee member Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, wasn’t willing to fund the legislation at the possible expense of other CDOT projects. “I’m wondering what bridge is not going to be built, what road is not going to be protected,” Tyler said. “Where are they going to get the money for this, Mr. Speaker?” The bill’s last chance for survival would have allowed it to go to a vote in the full House, where it could have been amended to its original form. But the committee rejected that motion. Ferrandino knew there wasn’t much hope for the bill, acknowledging as much to reporters the day before the hearing. Having accepted defeat during the hearing, the House speaker — who is not accustomed to being on the losing end of a piece of legislation — drew laughter when he joked about his colleagues’ lack of support. “When did I become part of the minority?” quipped Ferrandino.

year health impact study on residents living in the Front Range counties of Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld. The study would have included the surveying of residents living in those areas and the possible review of medical records. The effort was a response to concerns over the practice of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking” — the practice of mixing of water, sand and chemicals and blasting the mixture deep into the ground to crack porous rock and free up oil and gas. The study would have focused on counties that include communities that have sought to either ban or limit the practice of fracking over the last few years. Ginal and other bill supporters said a study would provide both a health and educational benefit for Coloradans who want to know more about the impacts of the controversial oil and gas industry money-maker and job creator. However, the bill received only a single Republican vote in the House. Some legislators and oil and gas industry leaders opposed the effort for

reasons that included concerns that the study would be slanted toward the viewpoint of fracking opponents. Money was also an issue. Originally, the bill sought only to include Adams, Boulder, Larimer and Weld counties as part of the study. But a House committee added Arapahoe County and the City and County of Broomfield to that list. The additions increased the study’s cost to about $700,000 — something that concerned Ginal before it even got to the Senate Appropriations Committee. Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, said she did not know if cost or other factors led to the bill’s defeat. Carroll did say that she supported the bill and that “it’s a basic responsibility (of the state)” to look out for the health of its residents. “I think sooner or later it behooves all of us to get a credible and independent study,” Carroll said. “And, from the oil and gas perspective, if (fracking) is as safe as they say, then they should have credible independent studies that confirm that.” Ginal said she intends to revive the effort next year.

Oil-gas study measure dies Bill would have required probe of health impacts By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A bill that would have created a study of the health impacts of oil and gas drilling on Front Range residents died in a state Senate committee on April 29. The bill — which increased in cost over time — was killed in the Senate Appropriations Committee, following a 5-2 vote. Democratic Sens. Pat Steadman of Denver and Mary Hodge of Brighton joined all Republican committee members in voting against the measure. A dejected bill sponsor expressed disappointment after her effort failed. “I think the people’s voices have been silenced,” said Rep. Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins.

New director hopes to take libraries into future Pasicznyuk takes over job held by mentor LaRue By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Robert “Bob” Pasicznyuk has begun his work as the new director of Douglas County Libraries, following in the footsteps of mentor and predecessor Jamie LaRue. Before taking the Douglas County job, Pasicznyuk served as the director for Iowa’s Cedar Rapids Public Library. Pasicznyuk assumed his new post May 5, taking over for LaRue, who retired in January after nearly 23 years of service. “He was a mentor of mine and it’s an honor to be following him and building on his work,” Pasicznyuk said. Pasicznyuk is coming to Douglas County after five years of leadership at Cedar Rapids. During his time there, he helped the library system bounce back from catastrophic flood damage.



Pasicznyuk acted as the project manager for two simultaneous building projects, a $46.6 million flagship library and a $2.5 million branch library. While in Cedar Rapids, Pasicznyuk he was also able to help reverse a decade of eroding library support and in favor of a restoration plan that included a library communication campaign and brand initiatives. Prior to his role as a library director, Pasicznyuk spent nearly 10 years in library districts, including six in Douglas County Libraries, acting in senior information technology roles. “It’s the No.1 library in the nation in its category. That’s just a really tempting position to compete for, so I threw my hat in the ring,” Pasicznyuk said. He was chosen to be the new director in part because of his understanding of technology and a vision for its role within libraries. Pasicznyuk has presented on various

COUNTY SELECTS ARCHITECT FOR NEW LIBRARIES THE DOUGLAS County Libraries Board of Trustees has se-

lected Studiotrope Design Collective and Anderson Mason Dale Architects to develop an architectural and design plan for three new libraries in the district.

THE GOAL of No Leaf Unturned, the library building campaign which began in 2013, is to respond to the community’s growth and demand for library spaces by building new libraries in the Town of Parker, City of Lone Tree and City of Castle Pines. OF 15 firms that responded to the DCL call for an architect, five finalists were selected and invited to participate in an extensive interview process. The process began with an architect showcase on April 8, during which firms presented library initiatives and served on many boards, including the Linn County Early Childhood Iowa Board and Cedar Rapids Science Station Board. “What does a library look like in 2020?” he asked. “From the time you park your car to the time you get home to how you interact with us in an online environment, what kind of experience are we providing?” One of his first challenges as director will be to oversee the building and replace-

to more than 60 members of the community.

FOLLOWING THE showcase, the finalists described their qualifications and responded to questions from an interview committee. Presentations addressed firm profiles, relevant experience, practice philosophy and each firm’s view on emerging trends and best practices in library and civic place design. FIRMS WERE evaluated according to several criteria, including design leadership, qualifications of project staff and consultants, team organization, experience in soliciting community input, innovation and creativity, fees, showcase survey results, team dynamics and interpersonal skills. ment of library branches in Parker, Lone Tree and Castle Pines. He said the library has selected an architect for the the project and that residents can hope to see the new branches completed in three to five years. “(The new buildings) will allow us to start with a clean slate,” Pasicznyuk said. “We’re looking for ways to take the library to the next level.”

opinions / yours and ours

No go best signal for red-light bill A bill to ban red-light cameras and photo-radar systems inspired healthy debate in the Statehouse but ultimately did not get the green light, and we’re fine with the call. Further we agree with one of our local legislators, Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, who opposed a late amendment to the respective bill to fund a study on red-light camera effectiveness. Funds that would go toward a study, could perhaps go to another CDOT bridge, Tyler noted. No pressing need for more research. Both sides have sources — on one hand that the technology improves public safety and on the other hand the use of the technology actually has the reverse effect, and further that the practices function more as a cash cow than a tool targeting public safety.

our view It’s worth noting that this proposed and oft-discussed ban on red-light cameras and photo radar got a strong push at the Legislature this year with bipartisan support. Rep. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley and House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, DDenver, were among those who gave arguments that the cash-producing systems do not improve safety. But with every urging to do away with the cameras, plenty of legislators and others stepped forward to say the technology comes to the aid of public safety in their

neck of the woods. We value these local voices, and support local control of the technology. Technology and the automation of tasks that would otherwise be carried out by people increases efficiency and can often in practice be much more consistent and comprehensive. To that aim, earlier in the session, we reported Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City saying technology is especially vital in areas where “human management is impossible.” But that’s the trick and where some controversy lies. We recognize a healthy mistrust of the mounted cameras keeping tabs on drivers. People wonder if existing regulations governing the the use of the cameras is enough. Further, are yellow lights shortened to bring in more revenue or does

common sense balanced with guidelines and regulations prevail? And are camera practices going to instant-replay pro sports heights with each line drawn hard and fast and little left in the way discretion? For now, we are glad the practices remain in local control. The debate has been eye-opening for many and should encourage cities to make sure red-light cameras and photo radar systems are being used in a way that is truly focused on public safety and efficiency. With each advance in technology comes many questions about ethics and appropriate use. We are in the thick of the increasing prevalence of lenses that watch everything everywhere. In this case, better to refine it — the where, when and how of it all — rather than switch it off.

Don’t wait for future, create your future

One family makes two very different people Do you have a sister or a brother that you love very much? With whom you have almost nothing in common? And sometimes you think one of you was adopted? This is dedicated to Cindy. I can start with cats and dogs. By now you know that I found my dachshund at a no-kill animal shelter. The best: MaxFund. Cindy has found a succession of cats in her back yard. Cats know when there is a vacancy. I don’t think my sister has ever paid for a cat. One just shows up when the previous occupant has taken leave. Cindy is a retired grade-school teacher who is still teaching. She is still at the same school in Sterling Heights, Mich., where her teaching career began, over 40 years ago. Now she mostly subs and fills in wherever they need her, and that includes hallway bulletin board duty. I taught at four colleges and universities in three states. Neither one of us could do what the other one did. The thought of having a classroom full of kindergartners or third-graders, her most common teaching assignments, leaves me with a dry tongue and the shakes. Cindy is just about the nicest person I know. She is kind and generous. She is loving and caring. She rarely has an unkind word to say, although we are both contemptuous of Brent Musburger. Who isn’t? When our father and mother were in their final glide patterns, Cindy tirelessly took care of both of them, and even bathed our mother. Words that could describe me — crotchety, grouchy, crabby, cynical, sarcastic — could never be used to describe her. This is where the adoption angle comes in. Where she is pleasant and nice, I am ornery and sullen. We had exactly the same childhood experiences, an equal amount of love and attention (almost), but we are night and day. How does that happen? Our father came back from the war after 30 missions. If the house caught on fire I would take out two things: Smitty and my father’s flight jacket. I can see it from where I am sitting, and it chokes me up every time I see it, knowing where it has been.

There is a B-17 Flying Fortress that tours the country now. I went to see it at a regional airport a few years ago. And sat nearby and cried. Dad came back and started a family with his high school sweetheart. Cindy is 14 months older than I am. They really did it with her. Album after album, bronzed baby shoes, and a cedar chest full of things she had touched. I think there is one black-and-white picture of me at that age, and it’s somewhat out of focus. I think I was in the bathtub, or the kitchen sink. Cindy is deliberate, conservative, she reads and follows directions and instructions, does exactly what she is told, never tries to be abstract, or humorous, or particularly clever. My opposites. One day a couple of years ago we were in a grocery store together to buy dinner, and Cindy decided she wanted iced tea. So she went to the aisle where iced teas in bottles and cans were displayed. I left her and finished all of my shopping. I came back and she was still standing there, in front of the bottles and cans of iced tea, I left her again and drove the car to an IHOP in Ypsilanti and had breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast, oh, and orange juice), came back and she was still standing there. So I started a countdown: 10-9-8-7, telling her that I was going to choose one for her if she didn’t choose one right away. That evening she enjoyed the unsweetened tea that I had chosen for her. With love. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

How cool would it be to have a crystal ball? I mean the real deal — the ability to actually see into the future. Do you fall into the category of people who wish they could see the future, or are you in the group that prefers to see life as a journey and the more mystery and adventure the better? In some of the responses that I have received over the years referring to one of my columns, some of our local readers actually state that they wish they had a crystal ball so they could see what would happen if they actually practiced some of the ideas, strategies, or tactics that I have written about. What are some of those things? There’s goal-setting, staying focused, having a positive attitude, encouraging others, living with hope, building better and stronger relationships, living and working with passion and purpose, and working on mind, body and spirit. Well I can share with you, beyond any shadow of a doubt, and I do not need a crystal ball to tell me what would happen … if any one of us, if all of us, applied even just one of the concepts mentioned above … life would be better at some level and in some way. What happens is, we look at things that appear on the list above, we have the best of intentions to act upon them, and then we let our cynicism and doubt take over where our hearts, minds and bodies should begin. We fall into a negative self-talk pattern instead of a positive self-talk actionoriented empowerment state. You know how it sounds: “That’s all just

fluff,” or “That stuff may work for others but it will never ever work for me.” Maybe it sounds more like, “My life is just fine, I don’t need to change anything, but you know Bob or Charlie or Mary or Beth, they could sure stand to change a few things.” Pretend with me for a minute that we all had a crystal ball. And each and every one of us could look into our future, whether it’s two weeks from now, six months from now or a year from now. And we had actually applied and committed to one or more of the items mentioned above like setting goals, staying focused, living with a positive attitude, being a source of encouragement, living with hope, working hard on our relationships, becoming re-energized with passion and purpose, and becoming well-rounded in mind, body, and spirit. I know many of you through your emails and letters, but I certainly cannot claim to know all of you. But I would bet that if we had that crystal ball, and the commitment was applied in any of the areas, what we would see is success, achievement, love, laughter, better health, stronger faith, and Norton continues on Page 9

Innovators keep state economy expanding Colorado is known worldwide for our endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, our 300-plus days of sunshine a year, and even our diversity of craft brewers. We have also developed a solid reputation as a hub for invention and innovation. Colorado companies have an entrepreneurial spirit that is driving new ideas, spurring economic growth, and creating jobs. Recently, we saw some of this firsthand, touring companies across the state that are thriving because of their innovative products and solutions. From Grand Junction to Fort Collins, Colorado companies are focused on inventing the future. In Boulder, we met with the owners of Newton Running. Their advanced sole technology is propelling both runners — and the Newton business — faster and farther. In Grand Junction, we visited Tim and Christy Fry, who moved here from Ohio to invest in Colorado-developed technology because of our great quality of life and business-friendly climate. Their company, Mountain Racing Products, makes topof-the-line biking components that are shipped all over the world, and they em-

ploy nearly two dozen Coloradans. We also stopped by Western Slope Industries, the only U.S.-based manufacturer of large, industrial machines that fold and seal packages for food products. They employ more than 60 people in their 45,000-square-foot facility. In Fort Collins and Loveland, we toured the VanDyne SuperTurbo Headquarters and the engines lab where the company tests its equipment. VanDyne’s patented SuperTurbo engine combines a turbocharger and a transmission into one device, improving fuel efficiency and horsepower while reducing emissions. The SuperTurbo can power the likes of city buses, Caterpillar

bulldozers, and John Deere tractors. Finally, in Park Hill, we saw Never Summer Industries turn blocks of locally sourced wood into high-quality skis and snowboards. Never Summer is one of only a handful of companies still manufacturing snowboards in the United States, producing more than 240 snowboards a day. All of these companies are building success through innovation. And one thing almost all of them have in common is patented technology. You may not know it, but that convex and concave design on your Never Summer snowboard is original, patented technology. And that distinctive pop sensation you feel on the balls of your feet when you’re running in a Newton shoe? That’s patented too. So is Western Slope Industries’ machine process that makes the cardboard packaging that holds your morning orange juice. The patent process is an important part of our state’s economy, helping inventors and entrepreneurs build successful businesses, generate revenue, and create new jobs. That’s one of the reasons we coordinated

a statewide effort to bring a satellite patent office right here to Colorado. The opening of the United States Patent and Trademark Satellite Office this summer in Denver — one of only four cities nationwide selected to house a satellite office — benefits firms like these by providing an improved and more accessible patent process. That means reduced review times for patent applications, reduced costs for patent filers, and more access to U.S. Patent and Trademark Office resources throughout the process. Plus, it will create hundreds of direct and indirect jobs and add roughly $440 million in economic activity to our state. Colorado’s deeply embedded culture of innovation has established our state as a destination for inventors, innovators, and new ideas. The opening of the USPTO satellite facility solidifies this reputation. From energy-efficient engines to high-tech running shoes, companies throughout our state are creating a bright future and propelling our state forward. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

News flash: CCM doesn’t need a fake award Paying for awards? There’s just no honor in that By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The first clue something was fishy was when Colorado Community Media got an email saying “Castle Rock News-Press has been selected for the 2014 Best of Littleton Awards for Publishers.” While the Castle Rock News-Press is indeed a CCM paper, Littleton residents might wonder why a Littleton paper wasn’t selected by a “local” organization for such a prestigious-sounding award. So how did that happen? “All 2014 Awards are issued based on the location of your corporate headquarters even though your service area may extend beyond that town,” reads the Littleton Business Awards website, to which the email invited us. OK, but CCM is headquartered in Highlands Ranch these days. Perhaps just an innocent mix-up? CRNP is a great paper, and it does win lots of awards from the

greater happiness. And I can tell you once again, I would not need the crystal ball to tell you that at some level there would be improvement, significant improvement. So what about you, are you waiting for the crystal ball to tell you what “might” happen if you made some changes in your

Colorado Press Association. Might as well add another, right? So how do we get it? “Most business organizations charge their members annual dues and with that money sponsor an annual award program,” reads the website. “The Best of Littleton Award Program does not charge membership dues and as an award recipient, there is no membership requirement. We simply ask each award recipient to pay for the cost of their awards.” Wait, what? Pay for it? How much? Well, there are three options ranging from $79.99 to $199.99. Can’t we just get a piece of paper like the CPA hands out? I mean, how much could an award from a company we’ve never heard of, judged by nameless people we’ve never met, with an 888 phone number, accompanied by a lame press release (that part’s free), possibly be worth? Absolutely nothing, say real local business leaders. “We have had had the ‘honor’ of receiving this award several times over the past five years,” Terry McElhaney, manager of communications for the South Metro

life, or do you know and are you ready to believe in a brighter and better future and commit to what it will take to get you there? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and I know that when we take the actions necessary and believe in a better and brighter future, it really will be a better than good week.

Denver Chamber of Commerce, said with a laugh. “Yes, it is a marketing scam to sell their ‘awards.’ I can see businesses that are eager for any type of award to fall for this approach just so they can display a crystal trophy, even if it is for money. The website doesn’t have any qualifications as to how they determine their winners, and I’m assuming they go through social media sites and pick their targets. Award programs using actual customer input such as ‘Best of the Best,’ which CCM does, are much more legitimate.” As are the chamber’s Annual Small Business Leadership of the Year Awards, always eagerly anticipated and attended by actual people you’ve probably heard of, if not met personally.

The company has duplicate websites set up for cities across the United States, despite its claim that: “The Littleton Award Program was established to recognize the best of local businesses in our community. Our organization works exclusively with local business owners, trade groups, professional associations and other business advertising and marketing groups.” The award is not affiliated with the City of Littleton or any local organization. “I’ve never heard of it, and it seems odd that the Castle Rock News-Press would receive a Best of Littleton Award,” said Kelli Narde, the city’s spokeswoman. Businesses looking for legitimate acclaim would do well to align themselves with their local chamber or merchants association.

Donors circle wagons, raise money at ball Expectations exceeded for inaugural fair fundraiser By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle Rock residents turned up in their finest boots and bling for the Douglas County Fair Foundation’s inaugural Cowboy Ball on May 3. The dinner, held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds Events Center, raised money for the annual county fair and rodeo. “We just kind of fell into this. We were looking for something different. A cowboy ball hadn’t been done, so we thought, this is a great thing for the community to support the fair,” foundation board member and head of marketing Pam Spradlin said. The foundation has partnered with Douglas County to complete Phase I of the new Heritage Plaza at the fairgrounds. The ball featured a cash bar, dinner and dancing, as well as silent and live auctions. Tickets cost $125 each and a table for eight could be purchased for $1,000 and included an engraved brick to be placed in the Heritage Plaza. “Our goal was 10 tables and we sold 26, so we’re very happy,” Spradlin said. The fair and rodeo has been enjoyed in Douglas County for 95 years. Programs

that the foundation supports include the Bob Thomas Memorial Scholarship, The Queens Scholarship, the Junior Livestock Sale & the Fair and Rodeo Wall of Honor. Engraved Bricks, which will be laid in the Heritage Plaza, were also available to purchase as donations. Bricks could be bought for $250, many of which were laid as memorials for rodeo-loving family members. The event also featured a roast of the honorable Jim Sullivan, who served as commissioner of the foundation for many years. “As a commissioner he was a huge driving force behind making sure the fair and the rodeo continued. We have such a suburban population that doesn’t get to access the 4-H and other stuff as much as the rural areas and we want to make sure it’s open for everyone and he’s kind of been that guiding light and we thought what better way than to have some fun at his expense,” Spradlin said. While the foundation hopes to hold a yearly dinner to raise money and awareness for the fair and rodeo, the theme will change each year. “Plans have already started for next year. We’ve talked about a couple different ideas, a derby party perhaps. Since it’s the time of the Kentucky, we’re thinking about a derby or a gambling night type thing,” foundation vice chair Monica Wasden said. “We want to make it fun. Make it something that everyone wants to come to.”

Local girls learn to give gladly Birthdays mean giving, not getting By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Three little girls in the Montanos’ Highlands Ranch household keep the home filled with so much energy and light that the family has plenty to share, says mom Alexandra. “They just have such beautiful hearts, and it’s so endearing to see how much they care for each other and others,” she said. The energy is especially high during the family’s birthday season — Annabelle, 5, Caroline, 4, and Juliette, 1, were born within six weeks of each other, with Juliette entering the world on Cinco de Mayo last year. This year, the two older girls chose to fill donation bins instead of toy boxes. “We are just so abundantly blessed, we want to be able to bless others,” said their mom. Caroline became enchanted with firefighters after recently meeting a group of them at a local grocery store. They let her climb up in their fire truck and even sit in the driver’s seat. That’s when she decided that she wanted her birthday party to help them. “I gave the money to them to donate in case they need new stuff, like shoes and socks,” said Caroline.

The party, which featured fire-safety activities and a firefighter cake, raised $260 for the Littleton Firefighters Foundation. Caroline and her mom presented the money during the foundation’s annual chili cook-off fundraiser April 19 at Platte River Bar and Grill. The foundation provides fire-safety education, supports families of injured or killed firefighters, offers emergency funds to help people displaced by fire and contributes to local charities. Visit www.lfff.org for more information. Next up was Annabelle’s 6th birthday party on May 3, during which she was gathering donations for the Denver Children’s Home, a project inspired by her American Heritage Girls club. The hour before the party, the Monsanto home was filled with what Alexandra says is pretty typical for one with three little ones younger than 6 — giggles and music, arts and crafts, dancing and adventures, squeals and kisses fill every moment. “Your hands are just a little busier,” said Alexandra. “Chaos is our new normal.” She hopes her girls will grow with that excitement rather than out of it. “My hope for my girls is that they are able to realize their full potential and know that they can make a difference,” the mother said. “That difference may seem small to them, but I never want them to feel that they can never do enough. Or if they grow up and want to be president or an astronaut, I just want them to be so excited about what they choose.”

School district IT contract draws questions Update to systems prompts doubts about project’s price tag By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School Board recently approved spending $2.2 million to replace its human resources, payroll and benefits system, plus $639,000 for a fiveyear subscription for support services to the winning vendor, California-based Workday. School board President Kevin Larsen said the district’s software is at a critical point. Doing nothing was not an option. “No matter what, our system needed to be upgraded at significant cost, or we needed a new system altogether,” he said. “What we’re doing is a savings over an upgrade. “It’s not just for accounting or HR; it’s to build a platform for all our systems to work together. It will also make it more feasible for us to get the data that’s often asked of us.” But not everyone was sold on the decision, which was made during an April school board meeting. “I think they’re going to end up asking for more money later,” said parent Jenny Robertson, an IT project manager for a fi-

nancial services company who has used Oracle and other databases throughout her career. Oracle is one of the two IT companies recently considered for the eightyear DCSD contract. Robertson, who expressed concerns during the April 15 meeting, said she has never worked for Oracle. “In all honesty, I think the $2.2 million is going to be a lot higher,” she said. “I think the $600,000 is also going to be a lot higher.” Parent Anne-Marie LeMieux also spoke at the meeting, referring to problems with a system upgrade at the Tucson (Ariz.) Unified School District from 2009-13. That school district’s top administrators — who now hold the same positions in Douglas County — recommended a switch to a new HR, payroll and benefits software program that proved expensive and unworkable. “Our children cannot afford such losses,” LeMieux said. “Please do not move forward without being certain you have all the facts in safeguarding against this failure.” TUSD purchased the human resources, payroll and benefits software in 2009. The following year, Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen and Chief Financial Officer Bonnie Betz left TUSD for equivalent positions in Douglas County. Meanwhile, TUSD spent $10 million

and four years trying to make the software work before dumping it in 2013. When TUSD’s Lawson software was purchased in 2009, it was under the recommendation of a team led by Fagen and Betz. In a December 2010 article in the Arizona Daily Star, TUSD board president Judy Burns said they had been “duped.” “We were promised certain things by people who are now gone — how convenient for them,” said Burns, who has since died. Neither Fagen nor Betz responded to requests for comment, but Larsen said Tucson’s problems occurred after DCSD’s staff left there. “They may have initially proposed and procured a system, but the implementation happened after they came to Douglas County,” he said. “However well or not they implemented the plan, Dr. Fagen and Bonnie did not oversee what went on in Tucson after they left.” Betz described the DCSD system she first encountered in 2011 as “obsolete” with “highly manual, paper-based processes,” findings confirmed by an Oracle IT assessment. The web of systems now in place is “expensive to maintain, difficult to manage” and “a real pain when we have upgrades in each other’s systems,” DCSD’s Chief Information Officer Gautam Sethi told the board in April. “We’re going to take all the extra

things away, and add the new things we need. It’ll all be in one comprehensive package — easy to run, easy to maintain, easy to use.” The Workday company system approved also will have an estimated $7 million to $13 million return on investment, Betz said. DCSD officials also said they negotiated the district’s costs for the new software sharply downward, including twiceannual upgrades for no added cost. But Robertson said she could see “at a glance” that DCSD has underestimated its project costs. “I’m an IT project manager with over 20 years of experience, and I’m accustomed to having a clear business case prior to a major IT investment, which includes all major costs and benefits,” she said. “My concern is that the (board of education) made a significant financial decision without the necessary input. This could lead to less money that is passed from the district to the DCSD schools in the future.” Board member Craig Richardson thanked the speakers at the meeting before voting to approve the expenditure. “We think this is an important undertaking and we’ll be held accountable,” he said. “The implementation and execution of this program, the board having approved an expenditure of this magnitude, is our responsibility.”

Injecting Trial looms for man who drugs allegedly shot at police Lonnie Pebley, 42, faces takes more than 50 charges over your life. By Chris Michlewicz

A man who allegedly fired a hail of bullets at police officers from his Castle Rock home will soon face trial. Lonnie Pebley, 42, was arrested in July 2012 and faces 56 charges, including 18 counts of attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer. Prosecutors with the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office have spent recent months preparing for a threeweek trial, which is set to start after jury selection May 12. During an April 25 motions hearing, Douglas County District Court Judge Paul A. King dismissed one sentence-enhancing charge related to Pebley being an alleged habitual criminal. Attorneys for both sides said they were unable to obtain court documents from a 1992 residential burglary in California allegedly involving Pebley. Deputy district attorney Sam Evig argued that he received documentation proving that Pebley served a two-year prison sentence. The file included Pebley’s photo and fingerprints, however, King said too much time has passed and there are too many unanswered questions to allow the charge to be considered during trial. King rejected a defense argument to dismiss two habitual offender charges related to a theft and forgery case in Jefferson County in which Pebley was found guilty. The 2012 incident in Castle Rock began with a report of a man hiding in a bush around 11:30 p.m. at an intersection near the southwest edge of Castlewood Ranch, a subdivision south of Founders Village. Officers arrived to find Pebley’s brother, Steve Pebley, 44, who reported that Lonnie Pebley had left his home earlier that day after a dispute with his wife. While talking to Steve Pebley, officers

observed a vehicle leave the area. They stopped the vehicle and made contact with Lonnie Pebley, who appeared to have a gun in his possession, according to the statement of probable cause filed in Douglas Pebley County District Court. A chase ensued, during which Lonnie Pebley led officers to his home, where he reportedly used a handgun to shoot numerous rounds at Castle Rock police. Pebley then ran inside the home and began firing at officers with a semi-automatic rifle, police said. During the shooting, Steve Pebley allegedly placed himself between his brother and responding officers, reportedly ignoring officers’ commands to get out of the line of fire. When police were able to restrain Steve Pebley, he allegedly became combative and continued to kick and fight officers after he was placed in handcuffs. Steve Pebley was eventually subdued and charged with obstructing a peace officer and resisting arrest. Police exchanged fire with Lonnie Pebley and SWAT team members were called on scene to defuse the situation. No officers were injured during the incident. Lonnie Pebley eventually surrendered. Officers found shell casings, bullet holes, night vision equipment and ammunition, including rounds for an AK-47, in Lonnie Pebley’s home. They also secured a shotgun, handgun and a machete. Prosecutors are planning to meet soon with a toxicology expert hired by the defense team. The expert is expected to undergo questioning during trial about Pebley’s level of intoxication during the incident, and the 18th Judicial District requested that King ensure they have access to the expert’s report and analyses. Steve Pebley told police that his brother was drinking before his arrest and had recently changed medications.

Union Station transit hub set to open Project links rail, bus, shuttle services By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The transit hub of RTD’s renovated Union Station, which merges light rail, commuter rail, Amtrak lines, buses, taxis, shuttles, bicycles and pedestrians into a central access point in downtown Denver, opens May 9. Its most visible element is a white canopy reminiscent of Denver International Airport’s, under which both Amtrak and future commuter rail line to DIA will serve passengers. The East Rail Line will transport passengers from Union Station to the airport by commuter rail, a method that is faster and makes fewer stops than light rail. Set to begin service in 2016, those trains will depart every 15 minutes for the 35-minute trip to DIA. South suburban residents won’t need to travel downtown to take the East Line. They

will instead to be able to take the light rail on a future Z Line route from Lone Tree’s Lincoln Station to an East Line connection at Peoria and Interstate 70. The ride from Lone Tree to DIA will take about an hour and 20 minutes. Cost hasn’t yet been established. Another highlight of the transit center is a 22-bay underground bus concourse, which extends from just east of the light rail stop to the Union Station building. It replaces the Market Street bus station. The historic Union Station building and hotel, adjacent to the transit hub, also is under redevelopment with a planned July completion. It will include about 22,000 square feet of ground-floor shops and restaurants, a public common area and great hall, large outdoor plaza and 110 hotel rooms. The transit center is part of RTD’s FasTracks project. That plan also includes a 2.3-mile extension of the southeast light rail line, from its current end point at Lincoln Avenue to the east side of Interstate 25 at RidgeGate Parkway. Negotiations continue to accelerate the construction of that extension.

County will pay share of I-25 widening project $5.5 million is about half of feds’ portion By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County commissioners approved a proposal April 22 that will spread out the cost of a proposed $32 million project aimed at improving the section of Interstate 25 between C-470 and the RidgeGate interchange. “The project involves reconstructing

the existing pavement, widening I-25 and making improvements that will improve traffic operations between the RidgeGate, Lincoln Avenue and County Line Road onand off-ramps,” said Art Griffith, the county’s public improvement project manager. “The project will add an additional through lane, going from three to four lanes in each direction, from the RidgeGate interchange to the County Line Road on- and offramps.” Douglas County is allocating $5.5 million for the project directly and is partnering with Park Meadows Metro District and the City of Lone Tree, which will be contributing an additional $430,000 for

making additional improvements to the Lincoln Avenue eastbound to northbound on-ramp. More than $10 million of federal money was allocated through the Denver Regional Council of Governments. The Colorado Department of Transportation is providing the remaining $16 million. “A $32 million dollar project and our investment is $5 million,” District 1 County Commissioner Jack Hilbert said. “And the entire project is in Douglas County. That just goes to show you how you have to reach out and get other communities and other entities to help.” The Intergovernmental Agreement still needs to be approved by the Colorado De-

partment of Transportation, a process that is estimated to take about three to four weeks and needs to occur before CDOT can advertise and bid the project out. “We do want to warn folks that it’s going to be a little plugged up right there for a while, but when it’s done it’s going to be a lot better,” Hilbert said. “If things go as planned, construction is anticipated to begin in late summer or early fall 2013 and will last between 18-24 months to substantially complete,” Griffith said. A winter shutdown of work will occur to avoid difficult working conditions and allow for holiday shopping in the area.

Don’t mourn fate of news too soon, say panelists Veteran journalists look at future of industry By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Perhaps you’ve heard the news. Or not. Journalism is dead. Not so fast, say three veteran local journalists. “There are those who say we don’t need journalists anymore, because everybody’s a journalist,” said Ken Durham, who now teaches aspiring newshounds at Arapahoe Community College. “Well, when everybody’s a journalist, nobody’s a journalist. … People still want people to check facts.” He hosted the “This Just In: Journalism is Alive and Thriving in the Digital Age” panel on April 29 at ACC. Panelists discussed how rapidly changing technology in a rapidly changing world challenges all media outlets to come up with a way to keep up, keep rel-

evant and keep getting paid. “I think they’re trying different models, but I don’t think we’re there yet,” said Susan Thornton, a former Littleton mayor whose first job out of college was writing for U.S. News and World Report. She went on to write columns for the Denver Post and today runs her own media-relations and marketing company. “The community newspaper is more important now, because we’ve lost the community gathering place where everybody would sit around the pickle barrel and discuss what was going on,” she said. “Community news is the way of the future,” said Bob Burdick, former editor and president of the now-defunct Rocky Mountain News. He views it as defensive driving, alerting citizens to things like crime and the actions of local government. “You can act on it in time to change it,” he said. Now retired, Burdick recently served as Colorado Community Media’s editorial ad-

viser. “Somebody who says journalism is dead may or may not understand what journalism is and what it isn’t,” he said. What it is, he said, is acting as an agent for the people, finding out what’s interesting and distributing it to others. What it is not, all three panelists agreed, is someone sitting in a basement behind a computer, anonymously spouting opinions as facts. “Some sites unabashedly take one side,” said Burdick. “Some sites are simply gossip mongers, some sites are just trying to provoke you just to get a reaction. … You have to evaluate the facts in that context.” Thornton worries about people believing everything they read without considering the source. “I really worry about the future of this country with the demise of newspaper ethics,” she said. “This is central to the democracy. … They’re not going to vote well if they’re not informed.” But, she points out, technology has also

led to some compelling moments — consider the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011, which got widespread attention via Twitter. All three stress that to make it today, reporters have to continually learn new and diverse skills. Thornton, for example, went from being a beat reporter to writing grant requests, speeches, training materials, videos, opinion pieces and even books. She recently started running media-relations workshops for city managers and department heads, and she is now a licensed mediator. “It’s just some of the ways journalism can take you in your life,” she said. Dunham noted that in today’s economy, companies are moving away from having big communications departments to hiring just one or two people to do it all — everything from photography to video production to monthly newsletters to graphic design. “The thread that runs through all of that is communication,” said Burdick. “You can’t write just so you can be understood, you have to write so you can’t be misunderstood.”

Where there’s smoke… Mock wildfire drill tackles real-world situations By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia.com Although some residents may have been startled to see Humvees and police cruisers crawling around Happy Canyon on May 3, it was only a mock wildfire drill that had public safety officials converging on the subdivision. But with warmer temperatures and wind speeds climbing, and keeping in mind the raging wildfires the state has seen in recent years, Douglas County residents shouldn’t take the exercise any less seriously, according to sheriff’s office spokesman Ron Hanavan. “Today, we’re focusing on evacuations. The major goals are life and property safety,” Hanavan said, urging residents to sign up for emergency alerts and prepare evacuation kits. “We’re right around the corner from wildfire season and this is real-world stuff. It can happen anywhere.” Crews were dispatched to evacuate and protect homes in the Happy Canyon area, where the mock fire ensued. National Guard officials set up roadblocks and checkpoints while trying to corral participating residents to

Colorado National Guard Spc. Andrew Senphannarat keeps an eye out during an interagency wildfire evacuation drill near the Happy Canyon subdivision in Castle Pines on May 3. Photo by Hannah Garcia the evacuation center, which was located at the Douglas County Justice Center. The interagency drill included officials from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the Colorado National Guard and various fire agencies in the area and ran from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The drill simulated a wildland fire, giving agencies a chance to practice command and control, communications and support functions. Citizens were notified before the drill and invited to participate in the simulated evacuation. The agencies set up a command post at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Lt. Col. Mitchell Utterback said the National Guard has had “a lot of practice” over the last four years with wildfires like Black Forest and Waldo Canyon. “The goal is always to save lives, then mitigate,” Utterback said. “And we’ve been practicing our asses off.” Elizabeth Fire Chief T.J. Steck, who serves as an incident commander for a multi-agency task force made up of officials from Douglas and Elbert counties, said the drill is just as much about cohesion as it is about training officers and firefighters. “It’s different now. It used to be really important so that responders knew their job, but as we break down our fences and start working with our partners at National Guard, our partners in other counties (and) statewide, we all have to work together,” Steck said. “So it’s become

Fleeing suspect drags police officer Suspect found in tree, officer OK By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Three people were arrested after a man attempted to flee during a traffic stop and dragged a Parker police officer for more than a quarter of a mile. Officers stopped a vehicle at 1:23 a.m. May 1 at South Parker Road and Valley Hi Drive, near the DouglasArapahoe county line. They placed the driver, Kent Scott Williams, 49, into custody for having a revoked driver’s license. After the arrest, officers observed a male passenger hiding under miscellaneous items on the rear seat floorboard. “Officers attempted to contact the male and an altercation ensued. The male in the rear seat then jumped into the driver’s seat and attempted to gain control of the vehicle,” the department said in a statement.

Fence thievery Someone removed a 3-foot section of fence from the 8000 block of Edinburgh Circle some time before April 24, according to a police report. The section looked like it was forcibly removed and the case was closed due to a lack of suspect information.

Purse lifted from retail store A black Michael Kors purse, valued at around $200, was stolen and its security device “defeated” at the TJ Maxx 8:50 AM store on University Boulevard on April 24. An employee said she noticed two black females in their 20s, one “taller and skinnier” and the other “shorter and heavier with lots of jewelry on,”

A female officer ran to the driver’s side door and attempted to turn off the ignition. The suspect, later identified as Justin Wayne Lamb, 29, accelerated and drove Lamb north on South Parker Road, dragging the officer over the center median and into the southbound lanes. With the officer still hanging on, the vehicle went through a fence and down an embankment, where the car came to a stop. Police say Lamb then fled on foot through a field. A perimeter was set up and the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office responded with a K9 unit. After a “persistent K9 track,” the suspect was found in a tree and taken into custody at 4:46 a.m., more than three hours after the initial traffic stop, the department’s statement said. The unidentified officer who was dragged by the vehicle sustained only minor injuries. She was later released from a local hospital after being ex-

amined. She is not on leave, but it is unclear when she will return to duty. “She was dragged more than a quarter of a mile,” said Dawn Cashman, spokeswoman for the Parker Police Department. “It was a pretty good ride. We’re very thankful she didn’t sustain serious injury and that everyone, our officers and the public, is okay.” A female passenger was detained, but later released and will not be charged. All three suspects were transported to the Douglas County Detention Center. Investigators are still trying to find out why Lamb was trying to evade police. Cashman said she is unsure whether drugs or weapons were found in the vehicle. Lamb is being held on a $400,000 bond. He faces possible charges of second-degree kidnapping, seconddegree assault, vehicle theft, reckless endangerment, felony eluding and several traffic charges, Cashman said. The vehicle was originally stopped for having expired license plate tags.

even more important that we can forget about the jurisdictional boundaries and realize that we all need to pitch in on a major incident.” Steck also said that citizen care has climbed up the list of priorities after the state lost residents in area wildfires and floods. “We have, as an industry, put a much larger emphasis on evacuating and care of our citizens, training them to be part of the solution,” Steck said. Resident David Smukler said he was glad to see the agencies out for the drill, but it dredged up concerns about his own Happy Canyon home. “I’m concerned about it (wildfires). I’ve been here for 40 years and we’ve been lucky so far,” Smukler said, pointing to I-25, which runs near the subdivision. “My big problem is that highway. People flip cigarettes out and who knows what happens from there?” Smukler, who has large pine trees in his front yard, said he thinks Happy Canyon, where he has lived for 40 years, is vulnerable. “Most of the places that burnt last summer were like this,” he said. Another drill occurred at the Douglas County Justice Center in Castle Rock the same day, involving 30 vehicles attempting to reach a designated location within 90 minutes.

Phone stolen from locker An iPhone 4 was taken from a locker at Northridge Recreation Center on April 26 after a resident left her backpack in an unsecured locker while she was swimming. There are no suspects. Deputies find graffiti in the Ranch Vandals tagged two separate residences in Highlands Ranch on April 26. A deputy responded to a home on the 6000 block of Andee Way, where

he saw graffiti sprayed in silver or gray paint that said “public schools are for un-privileged poor people” and an “exed-out triangle symbol” on a fence. The same symbol appeared on another residence on the 10000 block of Andee Way with the phrase “social trends” sprayed in the same color paint. Both homeowners said they believed the vandal or vandals struck overnight and did not know who did it. In another incident, graffiti was reported at the Cherry Hills Community Church on Grace Boulevard on April 28. A building manager discovered writing in pink and blue paint that said “Hail Jesus” and “Jesus is King.” There are no suspects.

CSO, yeah

The Colorado Symphony Orchestra, the bastion of classical taste and the guardian of musical tradition, is encouraging patrons to bring pot to the party during Classically Cannabis: The High Note Series, which marks a growing partnership between the CSO and the burgeoning cannabis industry in Colorado. Clever those symphony folks, who, for this series, seem to be swapping black tie for Rasta wear. Ganja! The High Note Series will be at The Space Gallery, 400 Santa Fe Drive, and all proceeds will benefit the Colorado Symphony. Classically Cannabis themes include Pan American Highway on May 23, Mississippi Blues Highway on July 18 and Summer Monsoon on Aug. 15. The series will culminate with a Red Rocks concert on Sept. 13; details to be announced soon. Note that the consumption of cannabis at Red Rocks is prohibited by law. “This partnership is part of an overall effort to reach out to every segment of our community,” said Jerome H. Kern, the Colorado Symphony’s CEO and, with Mary Rossick Kern, co-chair of its board of trustees. “Like the Colorado Symphony, the cannabis industry is entrepreneurial, innovative and responsive to the people of Colorado. These businesses have expressed a willingness to support the Colorado Symphony’s mission. Our doors are open to any legal, legitimate business that wants to help.” Since the symphony announced this cutting-edge musical series last week, spokeswoman Laura Bond says, “We’ve been pleased and energized by the response so far. … We’ve heard from people in Los Angeles, Australia, all over the country and the world. People recognize that this is a bold move, not without risks, and most have applauded the effort.”

Debut novel has roots in mysteries of past Author will appear at two events in area By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com In Justin Go’s debut novel, “The Steady Running of the Hour,” wealthy English mountaineer Ashley Walsingham succumbs in 1924 to the relentless ice and snow of Mount Everest — the same challenging mountain that just claimed a number of guides from Nepal last month. Walsingham had willed his fortune to former lover Imogen Soames-Andersson, who disappeared without claiming it, and 80 years later, her descendent Tristan Campbell hears from a London law firm that he may be the heir if he can prove his connection to Imogen. Debut novelist Go, who will appear at Tattered Cover/Colfax at 7:30 p.m. May 15 and at the soldout Booktopia Boulder 2014 from May 16-18, has spun a complex, skillfully crafted, well-researched tale about the search for Imogen’s story and clues to her whereabouts some 80 years later. Where did she live? Were there any descendents? Can Tristan find believable clues? In London, Paris, Norway, Iceland … Chapters alternate between Ashley’s world, his war service — including horrifying descriptions of a soldier’s life in the trenches in France — and his later return to a pursuit of serious mountaineering. In a brief interval before reporting to World War I army duty, the young man, who had inherited a fortune (and could therefore pursue the mountain climbing), met and fell

totally in love with erratic Imogen SoamesAndersson. Their encounters in wartime London and surroundings are described with rich details of what people wore, what they thought about, what they ate and more. The complicated book alternates between chapters set in decades past and in today’s world as young Tristan follows clues about Imogen, his great-grandmother, who wandered in search of happiness, and about her lover Ashley, who survived the horrors of war and was defeated by a mountain. There are letters, old records, maps, early newspaper accounts, musty attics, lots of cold and snow and eventually a connection to the world for Tristan in today’s setting. Go is a talented storyteller. He studied at University of California-Berkeley, where he received a bachelor’s degree in history and art history and University College, London, where he earned a master’s degree in English. He left his job with a law firm at age 27 to head to Berlin and write a novel, although he did not speak German. He traveled and wrote for three years: in England, Germany, France, Sweden, Iceland and to the base of Mount Everest, chasing his stories as his young protagonist did. He then worked in a New Orleans hotel as desk clerk, at age 32, while he completed his novel. When Go sent unsolicited copies to agents, he had immediate response — a highly unusual situation — and was soon launched, with publication in Britain and the U.S. in many languages. Anyone familiar with the difficulties of even getting through to an editor at a major publisher will recognize what a remarkable story centers on this young author — who is now at work on a second novel.

Hoppy times come to Centennial Two breweries open at opposite ends of city By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The south metro area’s beverage options just got a whole lot hoppier. Two breweries opened recently on opposite ends of Centennial. Blue Spruce Brewing Company opened April 26 at County Line Road and Colorado Boulevard — a light stone’s throw away from Highlands Ranch’s northern border. And Two22 Brew opened in late February east of E-470 and Quincy Avenue near Aurora. Both operators report warm receptions from their communities, and are gathering strong reviews from beer connoisseurs. Less than a week into Blue Spruce’s operation, owner Rick Kane said what’s most surprised him is the volume of business. “We have been just packed every day,” said the former Cimarron Middle School biology teacher. “People have come in from the neighborhood saying, `We’ve been watching the construction for months, and are so glad you’re open.’” “It’s been a crazy two months,” Two22 co-owner Paige Schuster said. “This section of town is really missing those local things, a place people can come hang out and feel comfortable. The neighborhood has been craving something like this.” Ironically, both are run by husband-andwife teacher teams — Two22’s Schuster and Marcus Christianson taught in the Cherry Creek School District, while Blue Spruce’s Kane recently retired from the Douglas County School District, where wife Theresa still teaches. Like Kane, Two22’s brewers draw on their knowledge of science in making their products. “We both studied chemistry and biology in college,” Schuster said. “This is a really a good way to apply some of the things you learned in the classroom setting.”

But the two businesses are distinctly different. Like Lone Tree Brewing Company, Two22 is a taproom that features its own unique beers and doesn’t have a full kitchen. Instead, a rotating selection of vendors sells food from trucks parked outside the taproom. Located in a former restaurant space, Blue Spruce is a brewpub. It produces beer on-site but also serves food, and carries products from other brewers, as well as wine and liquor. Blue Spruce opened with a limited selection of pub fare and soon will add a full Mexican food menu. Its tap selections include Lone Tree, Bristol, Pikes Peak, Epic, Great Divide and Colorado Cider, and its own beers. “We’ve had a couple of beer judges in; they’ve rated our beers really high,” said Kane, a homebrewer for two decades. “We pour multiples samplers of our flagship beers every hour, and we don’t get full glasses coming back. They’re all empty. That’s the unspoken test.” Kane credits Lone Tree Brewing co-owner John Winter for helping ensure Blue Spruce’s immediate success. “Our best friends are Lone Tree (Brewing),” he said. “They’ve been a fantastic resource, there for consultations late into the night when I needed it.” Two22 also distinguishes itself through its philanthropic underpinnings. A portion of its proceeds are earmarked for small, Colorado nonprofits. Schuster’s father died in a plane crash in 2004, when she was a teenager, prompting the family to start the Schuster Family Foundation. The brewery plans to give $2.22 of every $10 in profit to the foundation, which in 2013 awarded grants up to $10,000 to groups including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado and Mountain Rescue Aspen. “We opened Two22 with the idea that we want to have a really successful brewery, but we want to go that additional step,” Schuster said. “We want to give back to Colorado.” For more information, visit www.two22brew.com and www.bluesprucebrewing. com.

Lone Tree doctor finds meaning in missions Plastic surgeon joins team to help disadvantaged By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com When a poor African man posted a plea for medical help on RealSelf — a website most commonly tapped for advice on plastic surgery methods and surgeon reviews — the typical responsive chatter from doctors and patients fell silent. Clement Kihitula had a large keloid, an overgrowth of tissue, on the back of his neck, and no money for treatment. “Am from poor family in Tanzania East Africa where can’t afford treatment abroad,” Kihitula posted. “How can I get assistance?” Lone Tree doctor Stephen Weber was the only surgeon who offered to help Kihitula. The 19-year-old growth was so large it limited Kihitula’s ability to move his head, and was so disfiguring that Weber said, “People would notice that before they noticed him.” Kihitula’s timing was almost perfect, dovetailing with Weber’s annual medical mission trip to eastern Africa. In midMarch, three weeks after the initial post, Weber operated on Kihitula in Sangida, Tanzania. The man’s home is on the road between the airport and Singida Regional Hospital, where the Outreach mission is conducted; he met the team in Singida the day they arrived. “I thank you for what you have done for me,” Kihitula recently wrote in an email to Weber. During that same two-week trip, Weber, fellow practice manager Camille Kamingo and 24 other American doctors, nurses and volunteers saw 350 patients and conducted 20 surgeries — all at no charge. They

repaired cleft palates, lips torn during domestic violence, skin damaged by cobra bites, cooking oil burns and other deformities and injuries. It’s a far cry from the Botox injections, liposuction surgeries and other procedures he regularly performs in Colorado. “I think we did a huge amount of good. We helped a lot of people,” Weber said. “Most people focus on cash-paying customers that pay the bills. That’s important to us, too. But I really think our most important service is the mission work — giving back to people who can’t afford or don’t have access to treatment, who are medically isolated.” The Outreach mission is conducted as a temporary clinic in conjunction with Singida Regional Hospital. Doctors who practice in the area are overworked and in short supply, focused almost exclusively on labor and delivery, and their training is limited. The Outreach team performed several tonsillectomies because the African doctors don’t know how to do many such basic procedures, Weber said. Returning to his normal practice in Lone Tree is always a culture shock, Weber said. “It’s very hard to wrap your mind around operating with windows open and a fan going to operating in a state-of-theart, climate-controlled operating room,” he said. Despite the differences between facilities and clientele, Weber believes his patients in both countries have more in common than it would appear. His client base includes a mix of aesthetic, reconstruction and trauma procedures. “It’s a different demographic but I think it’s similar,” Weber said. “People want to look good and feel good — whether that’s a birth defect, treatment of a scar or changing the shape of your nose, I think the motivation is really similar.”

Tin Cup II opens

Cindy Jones, the affable owner of the Tin Cup restaurant at Aurora Hills Golf Club, has stretched her spatula to add the eatery at Fitzsimons Golf Course to her culinary resume. Jones, who officially took over the Fitz restaurant in January, has been sprucing up the golfers’ 19th hole and has brought the Tin Cup’s breakfast and lunch menus to the new place. The Tin Cup, which for my money is the best public golf course restaurant in Aurora, features homemade breakfast burritos as well as house-fried tortilla chips and house-made salsa, with several grab and go items for golfers. Jones also hired Rose Decker, who famously worked at the long-gone Plains-

man in Aurora for 20 years, as the manager at the newly named Tin Cup II. “(Decker) is such a go-getter and makes everyone feel so welcomed,” Jones said. “We’re getting great feedback from everyone and we have very reasonable prices, and people are coming from the hospitals and (other office buildings in) that area to eat. We also have to-go menus for (local workers) to call in: 303-340-3093.”

Mountain Vista coaches up success Golden Eagles start boys lacrosse playoffs as the No. 3 seed By Jim Benton

jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com

Sliding into the postseason ThunderRidge shortstop Brody Westmoreland successfully steals second base with plenty of time to spare as Chaparral second baseman Aaron Hammann waits for the throw. Starting pitcher Jake Eissler tossed a three-hit, seven-inning shutout in ThunderRidge’s 5-0 Continental League triumph over Chaparral on April 30. Westmoreland led the Grizzlies at the plate, going 2-for-3, scoring twice, stealing two bases and driving in a pair of runs. Defending state champion ThunderRidge finished fourth in the Continental League with a 7-4 record. Chaparral tied for fifth with a 6-5 league record. Photo by Paul DiSalvo

There are many formulas for success but the foundation for all the various blueprints is peaking at the right time. Mountain Vista’s boys lacrosse team is striving to do just that as the Golden Eagles head into the Class 5A state playoffs. “We have guys that are all starting to step up right now,” said first-year Vista coach Jake Herman, who formerly coached at Regis Jesuit. “You have to peak at the right time and this is the time for us to play our best lacrosse. And I feel like we are.” Mountain Vista (13-2) drew a No. 3 seed in the Class 5A state playoffs and is slated to open up at home against No. 14 Heritage (8-7) on May 8. “At this time of the year you have to literally just take it one game at a time,” Herman said. “Knowing your opponent at this time of year is huge. Just going through the playoffs before and being a part of a state championship team when I was at Regis, there is also a lot of luck. “A lot of things have to fall in line. Anything goes once you get into the playoffs. And anything definitely goes once you get to the quarterfinals. Anybody can beat anybody.” The Golden Eagles average 14 goals a game while allowing 7.4 on the season. Junior attacker Christian Barker leads the team with 32 goals and 63 points, while senior Alec Womack has accounted for 48 goals and 56 points and fellow senior Shane McKenna added 28 goals and 28 assists for 56 points. Freshman Colin Munro also has 56 points with 22 goals and 34 assists while junior midfielder Bryan Hancock has come on strong down the stretch and has 30 goals and 43 points. One of the strengths for the Vista lacrosse program is the coaching staff that includes Herman, former University of Denver coach Jamie Munro and ex-Colorado Mammoth coach Bob Hamley. “Jamie is my assistant coach,” said Herman, also a science teacher at Vista. “He and I work really well together. We have very regimented practice plans. We train

very specifically every day. It’s made a big difference. Jamie and I have been friends for a long time. We have always talked about wanting to coach together. “I’m there addressing the kids as the head coach and I look over and I’ve got Jamie Munro, a former Division I coach. We hired Bob Hamley who was head coach of the Colorado Mammoth. So I have an exMammoth coach in the locker room with me also. So it was an interesting scenario for me to be addressing the team with all this coaching experience around me. I’m excited about it.” Munro, who is also Chief Executive Officer for 3d Lacrosse, claims the hiring of Herman was the reason a good Golden Eagles program has developed into a championship contender this season. “Jack coming to Mountain Vista to be the head coach is the best thing that has happened to the program,” said Munro. “First, Jake Herman brings the combination of impeccable integrity, strong work ethic and experience of being the defensive coordinator of a perennial power, Regis. “Second, to have the head coach in the school, teaching, developing, working with the athletes in the weight room is a massive advantage for the kids.” Mountain Vista has notched wins over Kent Denver, Arapahoe and Mullen this season and the Golden Eagles hope to continue their run in the state playoffs. “This year we got a good seed in the playoffs and we hope to exceed expectations there too,” said Herman. “It’s going to be a special tournament for us. We beat Kent, Arapahoe and Mullen. Those were wins that have never happened in the existence of the program. That alone is exciting and I’m just hoping that’s not the only thing we can hang our hat on.” Also in the field from the area, Cherry Creek (12-8), runner-up the past two seasons, was seeded No. 1 and scheduled to open up against No. 16 Denver East (7-8) on May 8. Other opening round games on May 8 include: No. 11 Highlands Ranch (11-4) at No. 6 Arapahoe (10-5); No. 15 Chaparral (9-6) at No. 2 Regis Jesuit (14-1); No. 13 Castle View (8-7) at No. 4 Kent Denver (10-4); and No. 8 Rock Canyon (10-5) vs. No. 9 Palmer (11-4). Quarterfinals are slated for May 10 at Regis, while semifinal games will be played May 14 at All-City Stadium. The finals are set for May 17 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

SkyView soars into playoffs on pitch Hawks earn at-large bid in Class 3A field By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com SkyView Academy ended its first Class 3A sanctioned soccer season April 29 on a cold, windy afternoon at the Hawks home soccer field. The Hawks blew away Champion Academy of Loveland, 10-0, to improve their record to 12-2-1 and then began a five-day wait to see if they made the state playoffs. SkyView played as a 3A independent team this season and had to wait until May 4 to see if they landed one of nine at-large berths into the state playoffs. They did just that, earning the No. 21 seed and will open the postseason at No. 12 St. Mary’s Academy (8-7) on May 9. “We have a solid team of young girls that are extremely talented,” said SkyView coach Miles Martin. “The great thing about this team is there are no seniors. They are freshman, sophomores and juniors. “Being an independent this year was tough just getting games against good competition. There are good teams out there but they have stacked schedules so it’s hard to get in. … We have some good wins against Resurrection Christian, Cornerstone Christian, Machebeuf and Woodland Park (Class 4A). We’ve been challenging ourselves.” The Hawks head into the playoffs with

their only two losses having come against top-five teams, Holy Family and Jefferson Academy. “Our center midfield is really anchored well with Claire Wilhoite, an excellent player with great touch and vision,” Martin said. “Besides her, Sophia Helsing is a little younger but a great player. Between the both of them we do a good job in the midfield. On top Kaley Hein is also a great player.” Helsing, a freshman, leads the team in scoring with 17 goals and 42 points. Hein, a junior, has 15 goals and 36 points. Fellow junior Wilhoite has contributed 11 goals and 30 points. Wilhoite and Hein each had three goals against Champion Academy in a game shortened by the mercy rule. Monica Feldes had a pair of tallies while Helsing and Louise Wittenberg each had a goal. On defense, Martin credits center backs Mary Satkowski and Sophia Utley as “strong, intelligent players.” Goalkeepers Sara Mattsen and Jillian Joseph have split time in net this season for the Hawks. “At the start of the season we really didn’t know how each other played,” said Hein. “As the season has gone on we got to know each other better on the field and now we are able to connect more passes, really play better and progress better with more control of the ball. “We knew coming into the season we didn’t have a spot but we’ve worked so hard to get to this spot with hard work and determination. We’ve got to the point that I think we can do well in the playoffs.”

Grizzlies, Sabercats play to draw ThunderRidge girls soccer season continues in playoffs By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com It was a game that in many ways resembled a state playoff contest, close with just a handful of good scoring chances. ThunderRidge and Castle View ended the Continental League season with a 1-1 draw May 2 in the Colorado Rapids High School Classic played at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Sophomore Julie Mackin, the league’s scoring leader with 13 goals and 32 points, took a pass from Kim Bourelle, raced down the left side and around defenders to score first to give the Sabercats a 1-0 lead with 19 minutes to play in the first half.

ThunderRidge’s Kaley Tucker, off an assist from Riley Welch, scored from 16 yards out before halftime to tie the match. Each team had a couple scoring chances but nothing materialized for either in the second half or the two 10-minute overtimes. ThunderRidge could have used a win to improve their seeding in the Class 5A state playoffs, while Castle View could have used a win just to get in. “It was a good match,” said Castle View coach Perry Glantz. “A tie was probably a fitting end. The bigger field showed at the end. A lot of players were out of gas. It was a great season. … The ball just didn’t bounce our way.” Castle View, which finished the season at 7-5-2, did have some nice showings on the year, including wins over playoff teams Douglas County and Valor Christian and a tie with No. 3 Mountain Vista. The Sabercats’ 3-5-2 league mark kept them out of the postseason however. The Grizzlies (8-5-2) were awarded a No.

21 seed in Class 5A and were scheduled to open the playoffs at No. 12 Legacy (11-3-1) on May 6. “The tie hurt us,” said ThunderRidge coach Chris Smith. “We needed a win. Instead of a top 10 seed we wound up lower. A lot of the game against Castle View (the issue) was the bigger field, but we played well.” The Grizzlies honored ThunderRidge teacher Alicia Coski, who is inflicted with cancer, in a special halftime ceremony.

Postseason schedule Unbeaten Fossil Ridge was awarded the top seed in the Class 5A playoffs. Rock Canyon (14-1-0) was the No. 2 seed and was scheduled to host No. 31 Prairie View (9-6-0) May 6. Defending champion Mountain Vista (12-1-2) earned the No. 3 seed and was slated to entertain No. 30 Denver East (8-7-0) in the opening round, also on May 6. Other first round 5A games scheduled

for May 6 included: No. 29 Highlands Ranch (6-9-0) at No. 5 Fairview (13-2-0), No. 28 Douglas County (9-5-1) at No. 13 Standley Lake (12-3-0), No. 27 Rocky Mountain (67-2) at No. 6 Arapahoe (11-3-1) and No. 26 Heritage (7-8-0) at No. 7 Cherry Creek (114-0). First round games in the Class 4A playoffs scheduled for May 7 included: No. 20 Pueblo West (11-4-0) at No. 13 Valor Christian (9-6-0), No. 16 Ponderosa (8-6-1) vs. No. 17 Durango (7-4-2) and No. 19 Englewood (13-0-1) at No. 14 Silver Creek (10-32). Second round Class 5A games are scheduled for May 9 with the quarterfinals set for May 13. The semifinals will be May 17 at Englewood High School with the state championship game set for May 21 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Class 4A playoffs will continue May 10 and 14. Semifinal matches will be May 17 at Sports Authority Stadium with the finals set for May 21 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

was a virtual formality. Jacob Ouellette called the video’s near-instantaneous spread “unbelievable.” “It started going up, beyond our family and friends,” he said. “It was really, really special to see how many people were enjoying this moment with us.” Then came a call from a producer at “Good Morning America” who had seen the video when it was at only 3,000 views. Friends on the East Coast called and said they also saw “Mommy’s Having a Baby” on

“The Today Show.” The Ouellettes, of Highlands Ranch, honored a slew of interview requests, appearing on 9News and “Inside Edition,” and saw the story on websites for Yahoo!, TMZ and The Ellen Show. The number of views was going up by the thousands and, eventually, the tens of thousands, each time Jacob Ouellette checked. Not bad for a video that was intended merely to preserve a family memory. Because Hannah Ouellette was starting to show, the couple knew the secret wouldn’t last long. Yet after posting it on YouTube as a private video for family and friends, the Ouellettes decided to use it to break the news to their congregation. Word-of-mouth launched the

video to every corner of the globe. The viral public response shows not only the worldwide connectivity afforded by the digital age, but a natural human propensity to absorb and then share a blissful experience. “We knew she’d be happy, but she was so deeply happy, it was overwhelming,” said Hannah Ouellette, who is due Nov. 25. “We’ve watched it several times since and we get emotional every time.” It’s the type of video that crosses physical and cultural boundaries. That’s the main reason why it jumped from 170,000 views on May 2 to 1.4 million as of May 5. To watch it, visit www.youtube.com and type `Mommy’s Having a Baby’ into the search field.

returned, people getting priced out of a stronger-than-ever rental market and interest rates still not that far north of all-time lows hit a year ago, Reilly sees the current trends in the market continuing and said people are clamoring to get in while the getting is still good. The number of new listings in the first quarter of 2014 in Douglas County is down just 2 percent from a year ago, according to Metrolist, but average sales prices are up 6.4 percent as active inventory has dropped 20.1 percent and the average days on the market have dipped from 69 to 54. The latter number would likely be lower, Reilly said, but many people are “trying the market, knowing that the buyers are going to be there” and listing higher than the home is worth. On the whole, homes in the county are selling for 98.9 percent of list price, and many people, like the Olds — who are busy packing up for their new 10-acre spread in Kiowa — are finding themselves in a situation where they are getting more than they ask for.

Staff report The Chamber of Commerce of Highlands Ranch celebrated its 14th annual awards luncheon on April 30 at the Hyatt Regency in the Denver Tech Center. Winners included Décor & You for small business of the year; Les Schwab Tire for medium business of the year; Marriott Denver South for large business of the year; and Cheryl Chiasson, owner of Bizcard Xpress, for ambassador of the year. 9News anchor Susie Wargin emceed the event. “We are honored to recognize businesses in our community who show exemplary ethics, community involvement, and continued growth,” chamber president Andrea LaRew said. “All of our nominees and award winners are progressive companies, led by visionary business professionals. We are proud to have them as members, and congratulate them on their success.” LaRew said the chamber has plans to offer new programs involving business education and professional development. The organization also launched a new website in late April, with a new database that allows members to update information, post deals and job openings and pay invoices online. “The Chamber of Commerce of Highlands Ranch is committed to its mission of connecting local businesses with resources and opportunities to help them succeed,” LaRew said. “Our new staff is eager to grow and engage our membership, and help maintain a strong business environment in Highlands Ranch and the surrounding area.”
