County veterans monument installed Bronze eagle lands after years of planning By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com It took more than six years of planning, thousands of donations and volunteer hours, and the use of a local crane, but the eagle has landed in downtown Castle Rock. Weighing in at 900 pounds, a bronze eagle, sculpted by Bill Hueg of Westminster, is shown hoisting an American flag atop a globe. On June 4, with the guidance of three men, it was placed carefully on a granitecoated steel and concrete base to complete the $170,000 Douglas County Veterans Monument. “Six years, I’ve been waiting for this day,” said World War II veteran Lou Zoghby, a longtime member of the monument foundation’s board of directors. “This is for all the veterans past, present and future in the entire county. … What better symbol to depict all of our different branches of service than the eagle.” The six-sided monument, at the southwest corner of Wilcox and Fourth streets, is embossed with six seals recognizing the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Merchant Marine and Navy. There are also two plaques on the monument. One of them honors those killed in action and reads, “In honor and respect for
As Highlands Ranch takes the final remaining steps toward build-out, community leaders are coming together to study how best to market the Ranch going forward. The Highlands Ranch Community Association, Highlands Ranch Metro District and Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce will all play key roles in what is expected to be a year-long conversation on how to place the community in the best possible representative light. “Highlands Ranch is evolving from a new, young and growing, planned community to a 30-year-old maturing community,” said Metro District spokeswoman Sherry Eppers. “Our role changes in that, the community changes in that, and how we position ourselves to people who might consider Highlands Ranch home either as a family or as a business is impacted in that as well.” On the table is the possible development of a new logo that would represent both the HRCA and the Metro District, as well as the creation of a more uniform message that all of the leading organizations would work together to communicate to outsiders. “Branding is more than a logo, more than a tag line,” Eppers said. “Your brand is what people say about you when you are not around. We need to understand what those perceptions are before we reposition ourselves in the community.” “It’s everybody pulling together under one umbrella,” said HRCA board member Brock Norris. “Everybody has to be in the same boat and going the same direction. “As for the logo, we need to have something distinct that really stands out and sets us apart from other communities and represents who we are as an active community.” The Metro District and HRCA discussed the issue of rebranding at their last boardto-board meeting, and the Metro District, which is expected to take the lead on the project, continued that discussion at its May board meeting. Eppers said a lot of the process will involve listening to other people’s perceptions Rebrand continues on Page 9

chairman of the foundation board. “There are so many feelings. I just can’t put it into words.” Bohne estimates there are 28,000 to 30,000 veterans living in Douglas County today, about 10,000 more veterans than Veterans continues on Page 9

Her voice is as fragile as Sue Rhodes looks. She is a delicate, 87-year-old woman with dark gray, chin-length hair, thin shoulders slightly bowed. Her right hand trembles as she scrutinizes the painting, a profile of a woman with a Lois Lane hairstyle, bright red lips and a soft pink blouse. “This looks like ladies in the ’40s and ’50s,” says Lisa Hut, a volunteer artist sitting next to Sue. “Think of a name for it. Does it remind you of anybody?” “No, but I’ll do what you tell me to do.” “I’m not going to tell you to do anything,” Lisa says gently. Sue glances at her painting again. “It looks all right, like that.” “How about a story? Does it make you think of anything?” “She did so-and-so.” “I wonder what so-and-so is,” Lisa muses. Sue takes her brush and slowly deepens the pink edges of the blouse. Then she holds up the painting. “Oh, my gosh,” Lisa says. “It looks so good.” Sue nods softly. She smiles. Lisa: “She looks happy to me.” “She does to me, too,” Sue says, “except …” And her voice trails away as she begins another painting, her mind, perhaps, chasing a fleeting memory.

Intermittent conversation and laughter interrupt the tranquility. They are grandmothers and grandfathers, a hydrologist, a children’s vocational nurse, a dentist, an FBI secretary. All in varying stages of dementia or Alzheimer’s, they share the painful reality of a fading mind.

Gun law affects domestic abusers Restrictions got no GOP support in Legislature By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Domestic violence offenders will find it more difficult to own or transfer guns under a bill that was signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 5. Senate Bill 197 places greater gun restrictions on persons who either are convicted in cases involving domestic violence, or those who have been served with a court-issued protection order. Prior to the bill being signed, Colorado law had already prohibited domestic violence offenders from having guns. The new law puts in place a system by which state courts ensure that

offenders relinquish their weapons. Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, a bill sponsor, said an incident from about 20 years ago motivated her to carry the bill. A former teacher, Hudak said that a student of hers was shot to death by an ex-boyfriend, who had a restraining order against him. “I’ve wanted this to happen for a very long time,” Hudak said. “I think a lot of women and children will be safer because of this.” Under the new law, persons who have received court-imposed protection orders must relinquish any firearms and ammunition in their possession for the duration of the court order. The same rules will apply to persons convicted of domestic violence cases. They can then either sell or transfer their weapons to a licensed gun dealer or to someone who has successfully

completed a gun background check. The weapon may also be given to a law enforcement agency for storage. Before transferring a gun back to the offender, a firearms dealer or local law enforcement agency will be required to request a background check from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, to ensure that the person can lawfully possess the weapon. The bill was part of a package of Democrat-sponsored gun-control bills that passed the Legislature and have been signed into law by Hickenlooper this year. Republican lawmakers unanimously opposed the bill. Hudak’s sponsorship of the legislation, along with her votes on other gun bills, led to a recall petition effort being waged against her. That effort recently was suspended by recall organizers.

Two measles cases lead to notification Infected man visited many sites in south metro area By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two rare cases of measles have been diagnosed in south suburban Denver, and the second infected individual may have exposed other people after visiting several public places in Lone Tree, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Highlands Ranch and Littleton. A Sky Ridge Medical Center doctor diagnosed the first case of measles in a patient there in late May. The second individual, who was exposed to the first man June 4, reportedly began experiencing symptoms June 6. During the infectious phase, the second person visited the following places, potentially exposing unvaccinated individuals: • Lone Tree Medical Plaza, 9695 S. Yosemite St., Lone Tree, between June 3 and 6 • Kent Denver School’s middle school graduation at the Anschutz Theatre, 4000 E. Quincy Ave., Cherry Hills Village, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 3 • Hodsons Bar & Grill, 6851 S. Gaylord St., Centennial, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. June 3 • Christ Lutheran Church, 8997 S. Broadway, Highlands Ranch, from 6 to 9 p.m. June 3 • Highlands Ranch Orthodontics, 1420 W. Canal Court, Littleton, from 3 to 5:30 p.m. June 5 Ninety percent of U.S. citizens are vaccinated against measles, and Sky Ridge chief medical officer Dr. David Markenson said “there isn’t really a risk” for that vast majority of the population. “Unfortunately, vaccination coverage levels in Colorado are not as high as we would like them to be,” said state epidemiologist Dr. Lisa Miller. “With a second case of measles and fairly wide exposure, we could be seeing additional cases of measles in our community. Now is the time to check your immunizations and make sure you
‘Now is the time to check your immunizations and make sure you and your family are protected.’ Dr. Lisa Miller, state epidemiologist and your family are protected.” The first case was diagnosed in a man who traveled to Denver from India, seeking treatment at Sky Ridge. The man was admitted for several days, and Markenson said Sky Ridge took “symptom-based precautions” during his stay. Sky Ridge informed not only the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, but staff and many patients at the hospital between May 25 and 27, he said. Visitors to the hospital during those dates may also have been exposed. Those who suspect they may have measles are urged to call a health-care provider before going to a medical office or emergency room. Special arrangements may need to be made before an examination to protect other patients and medical staff from possible infection. Measles is an airborne contagion, spread through the spray droplets in sneezes or coughs or on surfaces. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red, watery eyes and a rash that usually begins on the face and spreads to hands and feet. Although it was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, 66 cases of measles were reported in 2005, more than half linked to a single unvaccinated individual infected during a visit to Romania. For more information, call COHELP at 877-462-2911, or Tri-County Health’s immunization department at 303-451-0123.

School board responds to evaluation concerns Members stand behind system, but ready to improve where needed By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Despite the controversy and protests sparked by the Douglas County School District’s new teacher evaluations, board president John Carson doesn’t believe the program is intrinsically flawed. “No. I have great confidence in the principals of our school district,” he said of the program DCSD created. “They’re the ultimate deliverers of those ratings. “Obviously, this is the first go-round. If there are areas that need to be improved, we’ll improve that.” Nor does he regret implementing the program a year before the state deadline for new teacher evaluations. “We’re not interested in plodding along on important innovations,” Carson said. “We think we have a system that we can build on as we go forward. I think we did
the right thing. “I think it’s a vast improvement over what we had, which was basically a system in which everybody is rated and paid exactly the same, regardless of their teaching skills. We will base everything on performance and results.” Board members said they were pressed to roll out the system under Colorado Senate Bill 191, which requires new evaluations statewide. It allows districts Carson to create their own evaluations — as DCSD did — instead of using the Colorado Department of Education’s model. But Senate Bill 191 doesn’t require full implementation of the new evaluations until the 2013-14 school year. The CDE is piloting its Colorado Model Evaluation System for two years before putting it into action this fall. Instead of piloting its program or waiting another year, DCSD rolled theirs out during the just-concluded academic year. “The alternative was to take the state
system,” Carson said. “You talk about a lack of understanding and bureaucracy — the state’s was much more convoluted and complex. We chose to develop our own. I think in the long run that’s going to be viewed as a very smart decision.” In the short run, it’s triggered high emotion among parents, students and staff at some schools, and contributed to the loss of several teachers who cite the evaluations among their deciding factors. DCSD’s system assigns teachers a rating ranging from “highly effective” to “partially effective,” and ties pay increases to those results. Though percentages will vary based on several points, the district says all teachers will get some boost in compensation. About 15 percent of teachers districtwide received “highly effective” ratings, with the vast majority — 71 percent — rated “effective.” Results weren’t consistent throughout the district. In Highlands Ranch, longtime Trailblazer Elementary principal Linda Schneider gave 70 percent of her staff “highly effective” ratings, while new Saddle Ranch Elementary principal Ryan Craven didn’t assign that designation to any of his
teachers. At least two schools reported a seemingly disproportionate percentage of “partially effective” results. School board vice president Kevin Larsen said those deviations can’t be ignored. “The evaluations have to be accurate to make it work,” he said. “It’s absolutely our goal to look throughout the system and say, `Were these done with consistency and integrity?’, no matter if they’re high or low. I think in this first year, we have to examine what went well, what can be improved, and make this continue to be a better system going forward.” School board member Meghann Silverthorn agreed. “I do recognize this is a not a perfect instrument and we need to make changes,” she said. “I think the lessons learned are extremely valuable. While I don’t think it was ideal, I think the way we did it was basically necessary. Implementing a change in public policy is always a challenge.” Larsen said he’d like to set up community meetings before the new school year begins to further explain the changes. Carson and Silverthorn said they also are open to such meetings.
Departing teachers share their thoughts Educators cite morale, changes, environment By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcolorado news.com Some teachers trace it back to the 2009 election of four Republican Partybacked current school board members — which they say began a sea change in Douglas County School District operations; others to the failed summer 2012 negotiations between the district and teachers’ union. But all departing teachers who spoke about their reasons for leaving point
to changes initiated by the district’s current board and administration. Teachers said they’re not opposed to the idea of education reform, or all of DCSD’s new policies. The changes simply are coming too fast, with too little explanation, they say. Following are a few words from several departing teachers.
John Kissingford

trict has gone than personally frustrated. The administration has created such a toxic atmosphere, such an adversarial relationship between teachers and administration, and frankly, such an atmosphere of fear. It’s a heartbreaker. “While I and many teachers really feel like a lot of the reforms are valid, (the) means of implementation has been so heavyhanded and so autocratic that there are huge structural problems. It pushed me out the door. Since the union now is effectively disempowered, we feel like we have no voice in these decisions. Much of this agenda could have been enacted effectively in a collaborative way with teachers. “I would say somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of seasoned teachers would leave this district if they financially could. Most people cannot afford to take a huge pay cut. I’m going to take an enormous pay cut.”
Barb Dignan
Highlands Ranch High School theater teacher, retiring early. Fifteen years in DCSD. Rated “effective.” “The district people are very good at packaging everything very nicely and making it look good. Whenever the district speaks, they say the emperor has clothes on and we’re saying, `No, he doesn’t.’ We in the trenches know how bad things are, how things are falling apart. “The district wants to put all this on the union. That’s bull hockey; that’s just a diversion. I love my students. I’m just done with the whole bureaucracy.”

‘Teachers are leaving, and parents are starting to realize and question what is happening in the district. It’s personal now.’ Debby Smith, sixth-grade teacher School sixth-grade teacher, accepted a position in Cherry Creek School District. Fifteen years in DCSD. Rated “highly effective.” “I want to be somewhere where the first and last question we ask is, ‘What is best for kids?’ I don’t feel like that question is being asked anymore in our district. The first question seems to be about, `We’ve got to be the first ones in the nation doing this.’ It seems kids have been taken out of the picture. “The evaluations, which seemed to continue to change throughout the year, the salary bands, the market pay — it doesn’t make me feel respected as an educator. “Part of me is saying that, sadly, leaving is possibly one of the best ways I can fight. Teachers are leaving, and parents are starting to realize and question what is happening in the district. It’s personal now.”

verthorn) and Justin Williams were elected to the board. It has been steadily going downhill since. The real slap in the face came when the district refused to work with the union. What’s happening at the district office and the board of education — the trust is totally gone. “Working with the kids is where we get the strokes we need to continue. I could (teach) for a long time yet, but I don’t want to work for that board of education anymore.”
Brian White
ThunderRidge High School social studies teacher, accepted a job with Littleton Public Schools. Four years in DCSD. Rated “effective.” “For me, the biggest concern would be that these reforms they’re pushing here are not going to do anything to improve teaching and learning in this district. Teachers here are under attack. Public education in general is under attack. “Another big issue for me is the climate and morale in this district is just horrible. My first year here was the first year of this current board, and at that time, DCSD was what I call a des-
tination district for teachers. Clearly, that’s changed. It’s not just how many teachers are leaving, but who they are — the quality and experience. These are teachers I never thought would leave.”
Pam Pitman
Clear Sky Elementary kindergarten teacher, leaving the teaching profession. Nine years in DCSD. Rated “effective.” “It was such a hard decision because I love the kids. But I cannot work for a district that just philosophically goes against my beliefs. “It’s the way things are presented; they have thrown stuff at us. A good teacher always lets students help the process of what they’re going to learn about because they have buy-in and they think they had a say in the manner. They don’t take that into consideration. There’s a wall coming up between teachers and the district. Eventually kids will suffer.”
Jenna Southern
Flagstone Elementary learning specialist, accepted a job with Littleton Public Schools. Six years in DCSD. Rated “effective.” “There’s a lot of turmoil district-wide and it was really interfering with my teaching. I feel like it’s coming from the district level and how much change they’ve put in place. It doesn’t feel like change that’s best for kids. “More so than money, I’m going to Littleton for the support they’re offering me. I’m looking forward to the change, but I don’t think I’ll ever find teachers as great as these.”

County seeks transportation funding Grant would apply to areas that don’t have RTD service By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com
Transportation for seniors and those with disabilities in Douglas County may be getting a much-needed boost in the near future. With unanimous support from the county commissioners, the county is applying for a grant that would increase transportation funding in non-RTD areas by $622,464 for a two-year period covering 2014 and 2015. The county would provide a 26 percent match of $162,120, while the federal grant share would be $460,344. “Transit in Douglas County is a challenge and a lot of it has to do with the fact that we are on the edge of the Denver metro area and our communities are so spread out,” said District 3 Commissioner Jill Repella. “We are working on it. We are continuing to work on it and this is part of that challenge.” Perhaps the biggest challenge the county faces is that it has one of the fastest growing senior populations in the country, and between 2009 and 2011 it saw its transportation funding cut dramatically due to the recession. In 2009, according to county documents, approximately 150,000 one-way trips were eachprovided in non-RTD service areas to senged.

Fence lawsuit hits the wall Cullen to petition county, statehouse

Cullen ” “Since a legal remedy is not available to turme, I must consider other alternatives.” nd it Cullen said he is now enlisting the “court of public with opinion” and is in the process of drafting two letters, one like to Douglas County commissioners and the other to Highdislands Ranch’s state representatives. much Both letters, he says, will be accompanied by signed pelace. titions. ange The letter to the commissioners will address what he calls the “inequitable method by which the HRMD funds oney, the fence replacement program,” and the letters to the r the state Capitol will ask area representatives to address what g me. he sees as a need for counties and large metro districts to o the be given the authority to have public ballot initiatives. nk I’ll “I will be seeking canvassing firms to help carry out petigreat tion drives supporting the letters and possibly hiring a firm to conduct a community survey,” Cullen said, adding that he is also considering using a firm to initiate director recall elections. When asked if he had anyone targeted for recall, Cullen said there was no one specific, but that board officers, Owens, Vicky Starkey, the vice-chair, and Allen Dreher, the board treasurer, would be those most likely considered. The Metro District has maintained the parkway landscaping and fencing since 1981. “Our role in maintaining parkway fence and landscaping is to present the community a pleasing, consistent look and attractive backdrop for those traveling along arterial roads throughout Highlands Ranch,” said Nolan. “The arterial fencing is also a significant factor in maintaining property values throughout the community.”

increase the number of rides this year.” The county is the lead partner of the 21-organization Local Coordinating Council which includes transit providers, community-based organizations and each of the county’s municipal jurisdictions. The LCC consists of a volunteer driver program, the Castle Rock and Parker senior centers, as well as some for-profit entities. The LCC works efficiently, says Matthew Helfant, the county’s transit mobility program manager, because the entities work together to fill in one another’s gaps in terms of geographic reach and operating hours. Despite their coordinated efforts, a telephone survey sampling indicated that approximately 6,500 seniors and individuals with disabilities missed work in 2011 due to a lack of available transportation and roughly 20,000 county residents in those specific populations missed medical appointments for the same reasoning. “This funding will enable us to provide more services,” Helfant said. “We simply don’t have the services available that meet our growing needs.” According to Helfant, if the county gets approved for the grant, funding could be available as early as this October, but most likely would kick in January 2014.

IT STILL HAS THAT “NEW PARK” SMELL Make a play date with Colorado’s newest gem. In a state full of amazing places to enjoy the great outdoors, it’s rare to find one that truly stands out. Staunton State Park does. The 3800-acre park just outside the Denver metro area, made possible in part by $11.44 million in Colorado Lottery proceeds dollars, features a stunning array of wildlife and scenery. Activities like hiking, rock climbing, fishing and animal watching are sure to become favorites among Coloradans across the state.

Governor signs renewable energy bill Republicans irked at cost increase to rural Coloradans
WHAT THE RENEWABLE ENERGY BILL DOES
By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com While Democratic leaders applauded Gov. John Hickenlooper for signing Senate Bill 13-252, which increases renewable energy standards for energy co-ops in the state, Republican lawmakers claimed the bill will hurt rural Coloradans. The bill, signed on June 5, will go into effect July 1 and require Colorado energy cooperatives — including Intermountain Rural Energy Association — to double their existing requirements for renewable energy from 10 percent of all energy used to 20 percent prior to 2020. IREA currently obtains its renewable energy through a longterm purchase agreement with Xcel Energy, and according to a statement on its website cannot unilaterally increase the amount it requires from Xcel, which creates an issue. IREA says on the site that it is a supporter of renewable energy,
Castle Rock
• Increases renewable energy standards for cooperative electric associations serving more than 100,000 meters from its current 10 percent by 2020 to 20 percent. • Provides extra credit for new renewable resources acquired through 2015. • Allows both methane capture and pyrolysis of solid waste to count toward the renewable energy standard, as long as the production is greenhouse gas-neutral. • Ensures that no utility bill will increase by more than 2 percent as a result of bill. but it was opposed to the bill because it believes “the arbitrary imposition of a renewable requirement without regard to existing infrastructure and contracts will only lead to costly waste.” IREA serves customers in, among other areas, Elbert and Douglas counties, but not Highlands Ranch. Hickenlooper stated the bill was “imperfect,” but in an executive order accompanying the signing of it, said an advisory committee was being assembled that will work to address concerns such as the timetable for implementing the new requirements as well as protecting consumers impacted by the legislation. He said that if issues are not

resolved through stakeholder engagement, there is an agreement in place that changes will be made to the legislation in the next session. “This legislation will expand economic opportunities across Colorado through the development of wind, solar, and other innovative energy resources,” he stated in the order. “Rural areas, in particular, will benefit eco-
Littleton
nomically from the expansion of renewable resources because the vast majority of renewable resources are located outside of the state’s urban centers.” Some of the jobs Hickenlooper said would be created included construction, manufacturing and mining, as well as new waste-toenergy positions. Republicans had a different view of the bill, however, and state

party Chairman Ryan Call was one of many to issue a statement, blasting the signing. “It is clear that Gov. Hickenlooper and Sen. (John) Morse (the Democratic Senate president from Colorado Springs) are more concerned about appeasing radical environmentalists and the fringe of their party than doing what’s right for Colorado,” Call stated. “The law will raise the price of energy on everyone.” The governor said he considered vetoing the bill, and would have done so if the rate increase, which is capped at 2 percent, was not compounded. The assertion that this legislation will levy billions in costs to rural consumers is not borne out by the facts, he said. “For society to move forward, its people must look forward,” said Morse. “This bill will help stabilize the cost of electricity in the long run, create jobs and economic activity, and limit greenhouse gas emissions. These are all good things, and I am incredibly pleased to know we have taken another step toward national leadership in the clean energy field.” Attempts to reach representatives of IREA for comment were unsuccessful.

Ranch was broken into sometime between the dates of May 27 and 31. Deputies believe the front door of the soon-to-be renovated home was smashed in by a boulder. There was graffiti seen on the interior walls that had been previously reported. There are no leads for either incident.
Resident finds arrow in fence
A resident in the 6600 block of Solana Drive in Castle Pines discovered an arrow sticking out of a backyard fencepost on May 30. The arrow, a Blackout X5 envy 400 carbon shaft, had a practice tip on it and was taken into evidence. It appears the arrow was fired from the southeast side of Monarch Boulevard.
Vandalism reported at homes
More vandalism of homes and vehicles was reported in Highlands Ranch over the last two weeks of May, including a kitchen window being shot out with BBs in the 9700 block of Moss Rose Circle May 22, a pickup truck in the 2100 block of Gold Dust Lane being sprayed by a fire extinguisher May 23 and an egging of a truck in the 6600 block of Laguna Circle May 28 in Highlands Ranch. The owner of the truck, who had paid for a custom paint job, was told it would cost $3,500 to repair it. Additionally, on May 24 a truck topper was smashed in, at a location in the 10700 block of Stonington Court. Two days later, a landscape fountain valued at $180 was stolen from the front yard of a home in the 9800 block of Castle Ridge Circle, and there was a report of garage windows being shot out by BBs in the 10400 block of Cheetah Winds Drive.
Pinery homes, cars tagged
In a similar fashion to the high number of homes in Highlands Ranch that were recently spray-painted, 10 homes and “roughly” 10 vehicles in or around the 6500 block of North Hillside Way in the Pinery were spray-painted with obscenities and vulgar sayings. The incidents all happened overnight on May 24.

opinions / yours and ours
Happy Father’s Day from an imperfect dad This past year has been very enlightening for me as I look back over the past 12 months and remember how I reacted or responded to the trivial as well as the major challenges and opportunities presented to me by my children. Some may argue that the larger issues or problems are still really just small or trivial in most cases and just blown out of proportion by an over-reactive father or parent. And I would have to plead guilty as charged. And as I recall conversations with other parents over the past year I have been reminded that it’s not just my children who get into trouble or make mistakes, it seems as though we have raised an entire generation of trouble-seeking and mistake-prone children as my friends and neighbors all share similar stories. That old saying, “misery loves company,” could apply here, but I really have found no comfort in thinking about it that way.
I love my children dearly, and I would have to agree that in most cases I could have responded better instead of over-reacting and making things worse or underreacting and not doing enough. The life lesson in this for me is to learn how to take the time to respond instead of react. I know they sound very similar and some would say that they mean the very same thing. The difference, I believe, is found in the way we think about each word.
question of the week
How do you travel with kids or pets? Colorado Community Media asked four people in the Arapahoe Lake neighbor-
hood for their best tip on traveling by car or plane with kids or pets.
“Entertainment. Entertainment. Entertainment. And keep it charged.” — Elizabeth Price, Englewood
“I try to make sure we’re all prepared before we even leave the house. Everyone is fed, has all their stuff … and then I pack blankets, pillows, snacks and water.” — Jodi Page, Englewood
“Be aware of the temperature inside the car. … If you have to stop, make it brief, park in the shade, crack the window and always have fresh water for the animal.” — Jody Schmidt, Lone Tree
“I don’t really travel with my pets, but I do think it’s important to always leave them in good, dependable hands and with someone you trust.” — Mark Wienckowski, Wautoma, Wis.
That’s not what I’m talking about I have no idea when “I have no idea” replaced “I’m not sure.” Most of the time when we say we have no idea we do have an idea, but “I’m not sure” is simply not as melodramatic. All I know is that I am tired of hearing “I have no idea.” I am at the end of my rope. I am at my wits’ end. It has become another “overly conventionalized linguistic expression,” and nearly a cliché by now. Most things that are said, you know, over and over become annoying, at least to a few of us who listen when someone is talking. What would you think of anyone other than Rodney Dangerfield who started every thought with “I have no idea”? Rodney could get away with it, because he would tug at his necktie, jerk his head, and say, “I was so ugly when I was born that the doctor slapped my mother.” Elocution has gone the way of handwriting. Most of us no talk so good no more. We get by, because it’s no longer expected to be any better. Ah, but when it occurs it can be wonderful. There are some things that are said over and over that I never get tired of hearing. For one, “I love you.” Unless it’s from Mr. Holly Martins in area rugs. We resort to clichés because they are familiar, handy, and readily understood. Few of us have a gift for making ourselves understood without them. That’s what I’m talking about. That’s one of them right there. It was somewhat clever 10 years ago. Now it’s a nuisance. The French gave us the word “cliché.” It comes from typesetting, and the reuse of single slug of metal for phrases that were used repeatedly. “A cliché is often a vivid depiction of an abstraction that relies upon analogy or exaggeration for effect, often drawn from everyday experience,” a Wikipedia entry says. “Used sparingly, they may succeed, however, the use of a cliché in writing or speech is generally considered a mark of
inexperience or a lack of originality.” It’s not rocket surgery. It’s been a hard day’s night. Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder. See? Clichés and other phrases can be turned around, inverted, and even made into a malaprop (another column). Shakespeare referred to the “comprehension of two auspicious characters.” There is a song, “Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” and few of us want to be misunderstood, so it’s much easier to speak the tried and true (like “tried and true”) than to go out on a limb (there’s another) and offer something obtuse. But it can be fun when you connect, and the more you try to connect the dots (another) the better your chances are. You can’t win if you don’t play, although Fran Lebowitz said she has the same chances of winning the lottery whether she plays or not. I once quoted Wayne Gretzky at an AA meeting, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take,” and later thought that was a mistake. Words and phrases sometimes cross over from our occasional use to habitual use, and some of us don’t even know it, or seem to mind, that they can be mindnumbing. If I hear the word “transparency” one more time, applied to the IRS, for example, I will have an ax to grind. But it occurred to me that it might be kind of nice to be the father of a cliché, to Smith continues on Page 11
If we were to get sick and our doctor prescribed a medication that caused us to break out in a rash or some other side effect, it could be said that we are having a “negative reaction” to the medication. Conversely, if we were prescribed that same medication and started improving immediately, we would say we were “responding favorably” to the medication. And as a dad, I can look back over the past 12 months as well as an entire lifetime and remember all the little mistakes and huge errors I have made. And thankfully my children have not over-reacted, they have simply responded and loved me and forgiven me in the same way that I have loved and forgiven them. That is the wonderful thing about forgiveness, it goes both ways, and it goes such a long way in building and sustaining loving relationships with our family and friends. And forgiveness costs us nothing when we give it, but costs us everything
when we withhold it. If you are one of those dads or parents that I have spoken with or exchanged emails with or that just feels like you have had a brutally tough year with a noncompliant child, trouble-attracting teen, or mistake-magnet kid, just remember that as big as each of those challenges seem, at the end of the day they are all just trivial. And it’s not about how we react, it is how we choose to respond, love and forgive that will be the difference-maker in all of our relationships. Happy Father’s Day! I would love to hear all about how your Father’s Day weekend goes at gotonorton@gmail.com, and let’s respond our way to a better than good week.

Littleton provides vibrant model For my entire life, I have called the Greater Littleton Community home. Before the strip malls and the incorporation of other parts of Arapahoe County, before even the idea of Highlands Ranch, thousands of us were going to church, shopping and living in Littleton. Some of my fondest memories include fishing with my father at Sterne and Ketring Parks, walking in the homecoming parade, and graduating from Littleton High School where my daughters now attend school. When first elected as an Arapahoe County commissioner, I drove by the original, historic county courthouse (where I received a curfew ticket as a teenager) on my way to be sworn in at the County Administration Building in Littleton, the county seat. I learned that the county owned the then-vacant building, so I asked about the history of the building and took a tour. It quickly became apparent that one of the most important things the county could do was to save that building. We had to restore part of our past in order to build a stronger future. The City of Littleton now has a beautifully restored courthouse thanks to our efforts. I’ve now been directly and professionally involved for over 16 years in the economic health of our county seat, the City of Littleton. I love its people, history and tradition, and I have become heavily involved in areas where citizens and government need to work together to ensure the city’s continued success, including the city’s changing demographics, its cultural norms, the strength of its commercial base, its transportation routes, and its neighborhoods. The city’s future is brighter today than I have ever seen it. Littleton has the
Highlands Ranch Herald
potential to achieve an elegant balance between respect for its culture and tradition as a historic city (not just a suburb of Denver) and the critical role Littleton plays in one of the nation’s premier metropolitan areas, Denver. A spotlight is now focused on Colorado, particularly South Metro Denver. We’ve become the top destination in the country for young professionals to live and work, with major companies expanding and moving here. Littleton is responding accordingly with a variety of new residential and commercial growth. The Littleton City Council made a wise decision by hiring Michael Penny as city manager. Michael is an energetic, competent and hard-working professional. He and his staff have embarked on a series of long-range planning, communication and economic-development initiatives to improve the quality of life for our city’s residents, and we are beginning to see the fruits of their vision and labor. The economy over the last four years has proven difficult for many in our community, both in business and in our neighborhoods, but we now have the potential to grow responsibly Brackney continues on Page 11

U.N. chief discusses world situation in visit South Metro Chamber served as co-sponsor of Denver event By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Ever the local advocate, John Brackney, president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, talked up the metro area to none other than Ban Ki-moon, secretary general of the United Nations, during a luncheon at the Oxford Hotel in Denver on June 7. Ban was in town to speak at the University of Denver commencement ceremony, but first he attended The Denver Forum’s luncheon at the invitation of Colorado’s former U.S. Sen. Tim Wirth, who now sits on the U.N. Foundation’s board. Wirth described Ban’s job as perhaps more difficult than being president of the United States. “Dealing with 435 congressmen is hard, but dealing with 193 countries, each of which believes they have the paramount voice in the United Nations, is even harder,” he said. The U.N.’s military, with 110,000 troops in 15 countries, is outnumbered only by that of the United States. The U.N. vaccinates 60 percent of the world’s children and serves 90 million people a day, up to 36,000 of them refugees like those currently fleeing Syria as rebel forces and the government engage in deadly battle. Asked whether the United States should get involved in the Syrian crisis, Ban said it’s a sensitive subject, but he expects all leading nations to convene a peace conference on the matter next month in Geneva. In the meantime, the U.N.’s humanitarian arm has asked the agency for more than $5 billion to help the millions of people affected by the conflict. “We can’t let the Syrian people continue to die this way,” Ban told the audience of about 200 people. “The entire nation has been destroyed now.” He blames the inflexible attitude of the country’s leader, Bashar al-Assad, who refuses even to allow humanitarian workers within Syria’s borders. Ban called on the global community to show compassion to developing countries like Syria, now set back even further by the recent destruction. By working together, he said, “We can move challenges from the world’s inbox to the world’s outbox.” A key to that, he said, is expanding the use of renewable energy to all corners of the earth. He called it the “golden thread” that addresses all problems, as it makes possible technology, transportation, health, education — virtually all aspects of life. “We cannot keep burning and mining

and significantly. For example, as part of the city’s economic planning efforts, Littleton recently approved an economic development incentive for Breckenridge Brewery. The South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce is taking this a step further and working with the county to evaluate the possibility of waiving the county’s portion of the oppressive business personal property tax that they have jurisdiction over.

He declared sustainable development the U.N.’s top priority for his second term, which runs through 2016. “There can be no plan B, because there is no planet B,” he said. “There is only planet A.” Ban believes focusing on sustainability will reduce global conflict, much of which results from real or perceived inequities in resources. “As we strive for sustainable development, we need to strive for sustainable peace,” he said. “When people are hungry and poor and sick, there can be no human rights. There can be no peace.” That’s true in particular, he notes, for women and children. “During times of conflict, there are always women and girls whose human rights are totally abused,” said Ban. To that end, he launched the U.N. Network of Men Leaders to eradicate such violence. “Unless men change their mentality, this violence can’t be addressed, can’t be rectified,” he said. “I have been talking to kings and prime ministers and presidents, telling them that this is not acceptable.”
As we unite to build a better future, we must be aware of the possibilities before us while recognizing the incredible wealth of knowledge provided by our citizens, elected officials and dedicated staff. We must work together to continue creating jobs, growing the economy, and ensuring that Littleton remains the great place we all love with world-class education through the Littleton Public Schools, world-class parks through the South Suburban Park and Recreation District, strong businesses, and vibrant, safe communities.

about ban ki-moon Ban Ki-moon is the eighth and current secretary general of the United Nations, having succeeded Kofi Annan in 2007. Prior to that, he was a career diplomat in South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the United Nations. He entered diplomatic service the year he graduated from university, accepting his first post in New Delhi, India. He was the foreign minister of South Korea from January 2004 to November 2006. During lunch June 7, he told his tablemates about his youth
in South Korea, where war raged from the time he was 6 until he was 8. His family took refuge with relatives who lived on a mountainside, so remote the soldiers had no reason to go there, said Ban. He remembers soldiers from the United States and the United Nations arriving with food, donated clothing and lots of powdered milk. Now the leader of the United Nations, Ban said South Koreans are forever grateful for that support.

Veteran appointed to Colorado board Highlands Ranch man brings 28 years of service By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Recently appointed to the Colorado Board of Veterans Affairs by Gov. John Hickenlooper, Highlands Ranch Republican Rene Simard has been involved with military matters since 1978. Simard said he applied for the position because “I thought it was time for me to get more actively involved in helping veterans and military personnel with some of the challenges they are going through.” “I was both pleasantly surprised and honored to be appointed,” he said. Simard, who served 28 years in the Air Force, including a three-year stint at the Pentagon, will begin serving his four-year term June 30. Simard Since retiring as the command chief master sergeant for Buckley Air Force Base in 2006, he has remained involved in veteran affairs through the Aurora Defense Council as well as through his position as director of academic advising at the Community College of Aurora, where he works with about 500 student veterans. “When I was on active duty I was very much involved with enlisted issues, and I have seen a lot of the issues veterans are facing through my current job at CCA,” he said. “Health care is probably the main issue, as far as disability claims and getting veterans their benefits,” he said. “The VA just seems to be overwhelmed with the amount
‘I was both pleasantly surprised and honored to be appointed.’ Rene Simard of claims they have to process, especially with some of the current veterans they have coming back that have served four, five, six times in Iraq or Afghanistan.” Employment and education are the other top challenges Simard plans to focus on. “I’ve seen estimates of anywhere from 11 to 20 percent when it comes to unemployment rates for vets,” he said. “It’s a major issue. “As per education, they get very generous benefits with the GI Bill, and some of them are trying to balance work and family, and go to school full-time. It’s important that they complete those degrees and maximize their benefits.” Simard just put his own GI Bill to use recently, earning a master’s degree in professional studies focused on organization and leadership from the University of Denver. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in logistics management from Peru State College, based in Nebraska, and an associate degree from the Community College of the Air Force, based in Alabama. Simard spent 20 of his years in military service as a logistics planner for the Air Force. He was stationed in Germany for four years and in Saudi Arabia for three. Joining seven current or former officers on the board, he will be the only former enlistee on the governor’s advisory committee.

Firefighter labor bill signed Compromise measure allows ballot issues, talks on safety By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com In one of his final actions taken on bills that passed the Legislature this year, Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 5 signed into law a measure that expands labor rights for firefighters in Colorado. There was uncertainty as to whether the governor would sign Senate Bill 25, especially after he had threatened to veto the original version of the bill earlier this year. Former Gov. Bill Ritter vetoed similar legislation while he was in office. But Hickenlooper did indeed provide his signature to the Colorado Firefighter Safety Act, two days before the deadline passed for all bills to be signed into law. The law allows Colorado firefighters to have bargaining discussions on issues pertaining to job safety, regardless of whether individual municipalities prohibit collective bargaining. However, the legislation does not mandate collective bargaining rights on compensatory matters, such as salary, as was laid out in the original version of the bill. Nor does it mandate union organizing without a vote taking place in that particular community. Hickenlooper said the final version of
the bill was a compromise that he could accept. “Clearly we had to do something to allow firefighters to meet and confer,” Hickenlooper told reporters after signing the bill. “It doesn’t make it any easier for them to get collective bargaining ....” The legislation gives professional firefighters the opportunity to put labor rights issues on the ballot and allows them the opportunity to openly participate in the political process — something that is prohibited by some municipalities. Republicans argued during the legislative process that the bill usurps the authority of local governments to make bargaining rights decisions on their own. And the Colorado Municipal League criticized the governor’s decision to sign the legislation. Hickenlooper took issue with those concerns in a written statement that was distributed to reporters following his remarks. “As we witnessed last summer, firefighters from various locales were deployed to risk their lives outside the boundaries of their own immediate communities,” Hickenlooper wrote. “Their safety and the effectiveness of their equipment and training are a matter of mixed state-local concern.” The bill was sponsored by Sen. Lois Tochtrop of Thornton and Rep. Angela Williams of Denver, both of whom are Democrats.
Illegal immigrants gain access to driver’s licenses Three Democrats broke with party to oppose plan By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Undocumented immigrants living in Colorado will soon be able to obtain driver’s licenses under a bill that was recently signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper. Senate Bill 251 allows immigrants to apply for “separate category” types of stateissued IDs that can only be used for driving purposes. The licenses will indicate that the user is a non-citizen, and they will not be able to use the IDs to obtain benefits, board planes or register to vote. Hickenlooper and other supporters of the legislation, which was sponsored by Democrats Sen. Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City and Rep. Jovan Melton of Aurora, argue that people who are here illegally are driving anyway, and that it’s in everyone’s best interest that they can do so lawfully. During the legislative process, bill supporters cited data from other states that have similar laws, such as Utah and New
Mexico. Statistics from those states indicate that the numbers of insured motorists rose substantially after the laws were enacted. “You’re gonna have to have a driver’s license that allows people to drive to get to work … to make sure they have insurance, make sure they can testify in an automobile accident (court hearing), but at same time identifies that they aren’t full citizens,” Hickenlooper told reporters on June 5, the day he signed the legislation. The law, which takes effect in August, requires those applying for these types of licenses to show certain forms of legal documentation, such as an ID from their native countries, and proof that they have filed state and federal income taxes. That’s in addition to standard driving tests. The bill did not garner a single Republican vote in the General Assembly. And three Democrats voted against the bill in the House of Representatives. Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, said during an April 10 Senate committee hearing that he didn’t think the bill would make roads safer, and worried that more people would come to Colorado illegally for the driving privilege.

Fire chief responds to internal uproar Partners express confidence in work done by LFR By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Both of Littleton’s fire partners say they’re confident in Littleton Fire Rescue’s ability to serve the public, despite some internal chaos that led to the Littleton Firefighters Association’s vote of no confidence in Chief John Mullin last month. “We are confident the firefighters, paramedics and staff of Littleton Fire Rescue continue to provide excellent fire and emergency services to the people of Highlands Ranch,” Sherry Eppers, spokesperson for the Highlands Ranch Metro District, said in a written statement. “The metro district board of directors is also confident that Littleton City Manager Michael Penny will take actions as appropriate to ensure the fire department receives excellent leadership. The metro district board and staff will closely monitor the situation as it evolves.” Mullin David Oppenheim, president of the Littleton Fire Protection Board, said it’s premature to comment, but the partnership is a strong and positive one. “Our firefighters are competent, well trained and very capable of providing fire safety and rescue services to the community, and the association’s resolution should in no way lessen the confidence the community has in Littleton Fire Rescue,” he said. That’s the one thing everyone seems to agree on. “Littleton Fire Rescue continues to be a proud fire department offering great service,” said Mullin. “We get no customer complaints. I continue to receive cards and notes from our satisfied customers saying thanks for a great job.” Joel Heinemann, president of LFA, agrees the firefighters are doing a great job, but he worries that could be at risk if something doesn’t change. “The issues we have with morale are a result of the dysfunctional structure that we operate within,” he said. It’s the association’s position that the only real fix would be to bring the three partners together under one umbrella, whether as their own entity or as a merger with another agency. South Metro Fire District is currently studying the feasibility of bringing them into its fold. “Littleton is not as stable a fire department as other traditional fire departments,” said Heinemann, because most of its service area is outside of the city proper. HRMD and LFPD are both substantially larger in area and population, he notes, so the smallest entity is governing the larger ones. Mullin said he wants to see the results of the South Metro study before recommending a way forward. “I love Littleton Fire Rescue,” he said.
“But I believe that there are some aspects that we could cooperate more on.” Mullin said he’s working on improving his relationship with staff, keeping them informed of decisions and the rationale behind them, holding more face-to-face meetings and sending minutes to the whole department. He’s also sending all 39 supervisors to Blue Card training, designed to clarify the chain of command and improve radio traffic, among other things. “This training and certification program produces incident commanders that make better decisions that will potentially eliminate the lethal and/or costly mistakes that cause injury, death and unnecessary fire losses in the local response area,” according to the program’s website. Mullin explained it’s a regional effort with West Metro and South Metro fire districts, so everyone will be talking the same talk during emergencies. However, the 50 hours of training will require taking one engine out of service for the duration. Mullin said past training meant down time for two engines and one ambulance, so this is an improvement. Heinemann thinks Blue Card will be a good thing, but he is concerned that until the whole department is trained, not just the supervisors, it could create confusion. “In general concept, it’s the right thing to do,” he said. “Anything to improve communication is a step in the right direction.” Another particular concern is whether there are enough medics on staff. There are 132 firefighters in the department, 53 of whom are medics. Mullin explained that there is one medic on every vehicle, and two vehicles at every scene. “We’re looking to get more resources, as 70 percent of our calls are medical,” he said. In February, Mullin interviewed 70 applicants, including 50 medics. Of the seven he hired, just one is a medic. They are in the academy now and should start in July. Mullin said that during the next go-round, in June, he will only interview medics, and will widen the pool to applicants who score at least 70 percent on the standard test instead of 85 percent as was required in the past. Asked whether that was a lowering of standards, Mullin replied: “Not a chance. We take great pride in hiring great people, and that will not change.” Mullin has indicated in the past that he might retire soon, but he didn’t directly answer the question this time. “We have enacted things I believe will bring improvements in communication among command and employees, and I’m looking forward to seeing that success,” he said. Heinemann said the association has its doubts. “We’ve done what we need to do in order to bring this to the attention of his bosses, so the ball is in their court,” he said. “That’s all we can do. We don’t have the ability to hire or fire the chief. We’ll continue to do our jobs with the same dedication and pride as in the past, but we’re just looking for some help to make sure our needs are met.”
Fire restrictions in place Staff report Forget the personal fireworks and open burning: Stage 1 fire restrictions are in place for unincorporated Douglas County. Sheriff David A. Weaver enacted the restrictions on June 10. Allowable activities include fires within liquid-fueled or gas-fueled stoves, fireplaces within buildings, charcoal grill fires within developed residential or commercial areas and fires within wood-burning stoves within buildings only. Tiki torches and patio fire pit fires are also allowed on residential properties if
they are supervised by a person at least 18 years of age. Also allowed are professional fireworks displays, fire suppression or fire department training fires, and small recreational fires at developed picnic or campground sites contained in fixed permanent metal/ steel fire pits not to exceed four feet. Fires in rock fire rings are not allowed, as rock rings are considered temporary. Violations are punishable by up to a $1,000 fine.

What is the most challenging part of what you do? I love working with both buyers and sellers and can usually be reached at any time. It’s difficult for me to take time off because I want to always be available.
Where were you born? I am a Colorado native, born at Fitzsimons Hospital and have lived in the metro Denver area most of my life. How long have you lived in the area? I live in Douglas County, more specifically in Lone Tree for 14 years. What do you like most about it? Lone Tree has a small town feel with all the amenities that you would expect to find in a much larger city. There is a new Arts Center, world-class shopping at Park Meadows, several restaurants, new tennis courts, pools and miles of trails for hiking and biking. In a recent survey of residents, 98% of respondents rated the overall quality of life in Lone Tree as “excellent” or “good.” I have found it to be an exceptional place to raise a family.

dren, our son is getting married in the fall, and we were recently blessed with our first grandchild and our second due in November. I am also involved in the Lone Tree Arts Commission, Public Arts Committee, Cultural Arts Foundation and work on many fundraising events. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? Make sure your home is ready when you put it on the market. The good homes are selling quickly so you want to de-clutter, price correctly and work with a realtor that has everything available to them to best market your home to get the highest price possible. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? If you are thinking about buying a home, now is the time. Interest rates are low and there are great homes available. The home you buy today will cost you more later. You also need to talk with your lender before you begin your search so that when you find that perfect home you ready to act. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? I was previewing a home and was told there was no alarm. Upon entering the home, the alarm sounded. Therefore, I went to the front porch to wait for the police. When they arrived and were comfortable with me being there, the officer mentioned that he is thinking about buying a home in that neighborhood. I showed him the home, we made an offer and he purchased the home.

Garage organization 101:
Stage all parts of your home when selling W
hen putting your house on the market, a properly staged garage can make all the difference! Garages are highly coveted across the country, offering a space to park a car and protect it from the elements, however, they tend to become the official catch-all of a home. When an item cannot be crammed into a hiding space elsewhere, it often ends up dumped into the garage. Organizing a garage will take some time. An entire weekend or two consecutive days may be necessary depending on the level of disarray. Taking everything out of the garage and going through the sorting process may take the most time. When sorting, separate any broken items, which can immediately be put at the curb for trash or recycle pick-up. Examine things that you have not used in some time. If you haven’t missed it, there’s a good chance that you can discard the item or donate it. Create separate piles for donations and trash. Move the items that will be kept into a separate pile. After all of the trash and donations are removed from the premises, then you can look at what is remaining and begin planning out a more organized storage system. There may be things in
the “keep” pile that are simply out of place in the garage and may be better stored elsewhere. Think about which items can be moved to a basement or attic because of their infrequency of use, such as holiday decorations, suitcases, and collectibles. You may prefer to move lawn and garden items out of the garage and into a shed in the

of space you have as a work area or a place to park your car, invest in as many tools as possible to utilize vertical space. Shelving, hooks and cabinetry will take things off of the floor, while storage units with doors can hide items that lack aesthetic ap-

peal. Rolling tool caddies and cabinets can keep all tools neat and in organized drawers. A cabinet that has a lock and key can be utilized for dangerous chemicals that need to be kept out of the hands of children and away from pets. Think about how the garage will appear from the curb when the door is raised
and create a design that will be functional and neat. Potential buyers will notice this organization, better allowing them to see their belongings in this space. Take the opportunity while the garage is empty to give walls and floors a fresh coat of paint and improve the lighting in the garage. A brighter garage makes for a better work station.
For those who can use a little extra help, there are professional garage organization companies that can come in and install custom cabinetry and work surfaces. This can raise the value of your home, too. Organizing a garage can be tedious, but the reward is ultimately worth the effort. ■ Metro Creative Services

Festival a happy, hoppy success First Highlands Ranch beer event sells out, raises $10,000 By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com
Anna Morella tries to catch bubbles during the June 8 Highlands Ranch Beer Festival at Civic Green Park.
Happy beer drinkers raised about $10,000 for the Highlands Ranch Scholarship Fund during the June 8 Highlands Ranch Beer Festival. Thirty vendors offering 72 beers drew more than 1,500 people to the sold-out, first-time event at Civic Green Park. “We knew it was going to be popular,” said Jamie Noebel, community relations
manager for the Highlands Ranch Community Association. “We were very, very excited. Our vendors were very, very happy.” Beer lovers appeared happy, too. A technical snafu created long lines at the ticket booth early in the event, but tempers stayed cool. “Nobody likes standing in line,” Noebel said, “but sometimes you just can’t avoid it. Everybody was really nice.” The festival will return in 2014. “No question,” Noebel said. “A plethora of people came up to us and said, ‘It’s the first annual, right?’ With as much success as we had, you can’t not follow it up again a second year.”
fawlty Towers Hotel has room for laughs British TV farce onstage in Denver By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Time: 1977; place: Fawlty Towers, a Victorian hotel in Torquay, England, operated by one Basil Fawlty and his wife, Sybil. Four segments of the popular British TV series, written by John Cleese (Monty Python) and Connie Booth, are packaged for an onstage visit with cranky Basil Fawlty and his various guests and staff. Acts are called “Hotel Inspectors,” “The Anniversary,” “Communication Problems” (my favorite) and “Waldorf Salad.” All take place on Colin Roybal’s two-story Victorian set — quite a feat in the small Bug Theatre where Equinox Theatre Company performs. Director Shannon McCarthy manages to move a large cast in, out, up and down with considerable skill, although some scenes are so busy, they are hard to follow. But silliness reigns throughout, so one just rolls with it. Matt Maxwell’s quarrelsome Basil Fawlty manages to be uniformly rude to all his guests and gets similar treatment from forceful Mrs. Richards (Carole Maschka), who issues orders and doesn’t want to turn on her hearing aid because it will run down
if you go “A Night at Fawlty Towers” is presented by Equinox Theatre Company through June 15 at the Bug Theatre, 3654 Navajo St., Denver. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday. Tickets: $22 ($20 advance); www.Equinox TheatreDenver.com.
You can enjoy a night in historic Lower Downtown, walk the neighborhood and enjoy small bites of the restaurants’ fare during LoDo Bites. At each stop, participants will enjoy varied cuisines with some restaurants offering select wine, drink specials and signature desserts. This popular annual event in LoDo will return on June 25 from 5 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $35 in advance, $45 the day of the event. Group sales are available at a discounted price of $30 sold in blocks of 10. Or you may mail a check to: LoDo District, Inc., 1616 17th St., Suite 478, Denver, CO 80202. Make checks payable to: LoDo District, Inc. Your ticket assigns you a restaurant indicating where to begin your tour. From there, you have up to four hours to sample the fare of 25 LoDo restau0rants, bite by bite. Limited tickets will be sold, so don’t miss out on this hot ticket. Participating restaurants for the event, sponsored by LoDo District, Inc., include some of Denver’s finest, such as Bistro Vendome, Euclid Hall, Coohills, TAG, The Squeaky Bean and Vesta Dipping Grill. Visit www.lodobites.com/index.html to learn more about LoDo Bites or check out all 20 of LoDo’s finest dining venues.
Elway’s is flying high
Elway’s DIA opened for airport travelers on June 10. Here are the facts: Elway’s opened at the Center Court on Concourse B at Denver International Airport. The opening coincided with United Airlines’ maiden flight from Denver to Tokyo. Elway’s DIA, the fourth location for the steakhouse chain (the original in Cherry Creek, Downtown at the Ritz-Carlton and in Vail), will be open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant will seat approximately 147 guests, with a main dining area, bar seating and a patio.
Jackson tribute

She doesn’t like her room and thinks she’s been robbed …. Her ocean view is right there, Basil says, “Between the land and the sky!” Questions/misunderstandings about money, identity, food and drink (including screwdrivers and Waldorf salad) and general day-to-day operations give assorted dingbat guests a chance to shine. Comic timing skills are not quite there at all times, but presumably those skills will improve as the show continues its run. It’s hard to maintain the level as written by comic genius Cleese — and keep a consis-
tent British accent going too. Hotel waiter Manuel (Mark Shonsey) is especially funny and Sybil Fawlty has a fine snort with her laugh. Company director Deb Flomberg designed a nice collection of costumes and makes a couple of brief appearances in the cast. This offers a lighthearted evening in a nifty part of Denver — the Highland neighborhood. Circa 1921 Patsy’s is right across the street with old-fashioned Italian food, and several longstanding Denver art galleries (Pirate, Zip, Edge) are on the block — open on Friday nights.
Michael Jackson fans won’t want to miss The Ultimate Thriller — The Michael Jackson Tribute on June 21 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The concert is crafted from the best sets, costumes, dance moves and musical arrangements of the Bad and Dangerous tours. The Ultimate Thriller presents an enduring tribute to the King of Pop. The concert features big production values with a live band, backup vocalists, design lighting and a troupe of dancers choreographed by LaVelle Smith Jr. and Mic Thompson, who spent several years performing with Jackson. The Ultimate Thriller will take audiences through a Jackson music repertoire including “Jam,” “I’ll Be There,” “Rock With You,” “Black or White,” “Bad,” “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” “Thriller,” “Man in the Mirror” and more. To sample music and video on the band, go to www.theultimatethriller.com/ promoter. Tickets are $32 for general admission (plus service charges) at www. ticketmaster.com, or to charge by phone call 303-296-1212.

Three generations meet nature’s miracle ‘Baby’ explores reactions to world of pregnancy
Continued from Page 22
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com What a joy it is to see this little gem of a musical — “Baby” — with its lovely score and clever lyrics, played by a top-notch cast. Cherry Creek Theatre has scored again! “Baby,” with book by Sybil Pearson, based on a story developed with Susan Yankowitz, music by David Shire and lyrics by Richard Maltby Jr., is a pleasing contrast to the prevailing mega-musicals that are on the road. But is does mean each actor must shine — and they do. Three couples each expect a baby and have different reactions and subsequent stories. An ensemble fills in assorted other roles with skill. Director Pat Payne has pulled the production into a fine-tuned package in the attractive but limited space at Shaver Ramsey Rug Showroom, with a pair of pianos tucked to the side and production logistics enhanced by veteran designer/director Richard Pegg. Choreography by Piper Arpan is low-key and fits the space. Alan and Arlene (Brian Walker Smith and Megan

She is alarmed and contemplating abortion, while he is thrilled at the prospect of a tiny new family member.

Many in the audience will relate to some part of these stories. Each story is appealing, touching and, in particular,
about love, without being cloyingly sweet. The ensemble fills in assorted characters, notably Ben Dicke’s doctor who tries to advise Nick and Pam in a particularly inept manner.
The Cat Care Society debuted its “Tails of the Painted Cats” summer tour in May, but it runs through July 11 and the fundraiser concludes with a July 20 gala event and auction at Pinehurst Country Club in southwest Denver. The painted cats were designed and painted by various Denver-area artists and cat lovers. Douglas M. Tisdale (the honorable mayor of Cherry Hills Village) will serve as auctioneer and my favorite weatherman, Channel 4’s Ed Greene, will be emcee the event. For more information, visit www.catcaresociety.org/ paintedcats.html. Here’s the list of the remaining “Tails of the Painted Cats” summer tour: • June: Tennyson Street Cultural District, plus other metro Denver locations (for example, Broadway Betty will be at PISMO Fine Art Glass in Cherry Creek) • June 29: Festival of Felines, Cat Care Society, 5787 W. 6th Ave., Lakewood, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. • July 11: Fascination St. Fine Art in Cherry Creek, 315 Detroit St., wine and cheese reception (admission)

Theater teacher looks back … and ahead Dignan has plans for new company By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Les Miserables,” “Aida,” “Legally Blonde,” “Doubt, “ “Amadeus,” “Of Mice and Men,” “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “Gem of the Ocean,” “Seven Guitars,” “Jesus Christ Superstar” and many more … Barb Dignan mounted more than 35 Broadway-type productions in her 13 years with Highlands Ranch High School’s drama department, plus some created by students in her classroom. Her only repeats were “The Crucible” and “Dracula” because the kids wanted them. The choice of shows each year depended on the particular talents available among her students, but they also were a vehicle for education. “Amadeus,” for example, taught 100 kids about Mozart, she commented. And the two August Wilson plays, “Gem of the Ocean” and “Seven Guitars,” taught students, both white and black, about this great African-American playwright. Dignan found that the black kids didn’t know his history and she wanted them to know him. She is proud of students who went into theater careers: a lighting designer on Broadway and others in tech programs. A number of former students are working in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City, and one is with Showtime sports entertainment. Another teaches high school theater on the East Coast, and Dignan counts an as-
Drama teacher Barb Dignan of Highlands Ranch has accumulated a costume collection at home, which she hopes to use in future community productions. Courtesy photo sociate producer on Broadway among her former students. Six graduates were accepted to the University of Northern Colorado’s prestigious acting program, with one full-ride scholarship. (The program only accepts 30 new graduate students a year from as many as 2,000 applicants.) Two more from the 2013
class have been accepted. Jan Wilusz, a good friend who started creating costumes when her own child was in Dignan’s productions, held a surprise retirement party where alumni came from near and far — some even flew in. As Dignan retires, her love of theater is undiminished and she dreams of starting
a local theater company. She doesn’t plan on large-scale musicals. “I want to do small shows with good scripts, a good story,” she says, and is certain there will be interested participants among the many former students in the area. “We will need corporate help,” she realizes, and she will need to find or create a venue — hopefully somewhere in Highlands Ranch. She has a collection of costumes and props she personally paid for in the 13 years she produced theater at Highlands Ranch High School, and she speaks especially fondly of props. If she were to go another direction in the theater world, it would perhaps be props. Dignan was discouraged as a young person from studying theater, although her mother was a German actress. She graduated from Georgia Southern in special education and used creative energy in crafts when a young mother with babies. She first taught special education and ninth-grade English at Highlands Ranch, while taking theater classes at Denver Center Theatre Company and at University of Northern Colorado in the summers. After predecessor Wally Larson retired, she be-Fire-ea gan in the theater department, building a department where the students came to hang out as well as act and learn technical theater. “There is nothing I could have loved more,” she declares. She has 500 Facebook friends and she hopes they and other interested people will contact her about starting that new theater company in Highlands Ranch. (Barbdignan@gmail.com, 303-8038182.)

Downtown event draws thousands to Main Street By Jennifer Smith

June and JuLy
June 8: “It’s summer!” The weather played along, as did a cast of characters rounding out the evening’s circus theme — aerial acrobats, fire-eaters, stilt-walkers, contortionists, jugglers, magicians and Sam Adams, the sports journalist-turned-comedian-turned-ringmaster for the evening. A tightrope walker trod lightly above Ancient Arts Healing Center, and aerial acrobats dangled over the intersection of Prince and Main streets. Perhaps most stunning was the size of
the crowd, which organizers estimate at 18,000 to 20,000 people. “I’m just tickled pink about the whole thing,” said Greg Reinke, president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants, which hosts the event. “To get that many people on Main Street is awesome.” There were noticeably more young people this year, of both the young-and-single and young-family varieties. Perhaps they were drawn to the local bands playing five separate stages, including Flash Mob, Dave

Art show opens at ACC Photos, paintings, 3-D pieces on display By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com As artists and friends gathered in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College on May 30, music floated through the room. The ACC(h) ord(e) Ensemble, composed of eight faculty and student musicians, performed for the opening reception of the annual Community Education Arts Show. One whole wall displays work by the instructors for the Community Education courses and the other three walls hold a variety of student works: photographs, paintings and a few three-dimensional pieces. The juror was Rachel Bayse, a local artist and executive director of the Art Students League of Denver. The exhibit runs through June 27. In photography, first place went to Jeff Bradley for his crisp black-and-white image, “Inside the Guggenheim,” shot from the top, showing the spiraling walkways. Second place went to Lou Sisneros’ “Pato Pato,” a duck swimming, and in third place was “Lost Horizon” by Delores Taylor Dentsch The 3-D works showed a first place to a handsome woven “Antler Basket #1” by Alahana Pacifico, with deer antlers curved

House Approves Coffman’s Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act On May 21st, the U.S. House Representatives passed H.R. 1412, the Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2013, with overwhelming bipartisan support. The legislation was introduced by U.S. Representative Mike Coffman (R-Colo) in response to his concerns for the growing number of unemployed Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. “As a Marine Corps Combat veteran, I understand the unique experiences and challenges of armed services members returning home from abroad. It is imperative that we maximize the opportunities for the thousands of young men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Rep. Mike Coffman The Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act will increase the availability of on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs to help veterans make the transition to the civilian workforce. This legislation builds on an existing, yet little known and under-utilized, on-the-job training programs that help veterans learn a trade or skill by participation in an approved apprenticeship or on-the-job training program. “The on-the-job training benefit within the New GI Bill, which we strongly supported, is one of the most underutilized benefits available to veterans for job skills
training. IAVA stands ready to support and promote innovative ideas like this to end the veterans’ unemployment crisis once and for all,” said Tom Tarantino of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). Congressman Coffman explained that, “We have nearly 400,000 veterans in Colorado and unemployment for them, especially young returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan between ages 20 and 24, was 19% in April. These young individuals have great leadership capabilities and unique skills sets they learned while in uniform but need help in connecting to opportunities in the domestic job market.” H.R. 1412 will incentivize employers to reach out to veterans because the legislation authorizes the VA to pay a portion of the veteran’s salary for the first two years while the veteran is gaining on the job skills and certifications. “Companies in my district have told me how beneficial this legislation can be for their operations because they know that veterans are hardworking, team-oriented individuals who are capable of learning the highly technical skills that are prevalent in many industries,” said Rep. Mike Coffman. Ken Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of Tri-State
Colorado SBDC launches “Connec2DOT” website for small businesses in the transportation industry
The Colorado Small Business Development Centers Network (SBDC), in partnership with Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), launched the Connect2DOT website this week (www.connect2dot.org). Connect2DOT provides free consulting, training and online resources for small businesses in the transportation industry. It is managed by the SBDC and funded by CDOT. The new website, which offers quick and easy access to essential information on doing business with CDOT, is part of Connect2DOT’s ongoing efforts to provide small and disadvantaged contractors with quality information and educational tools necessary to grow and succeed. “The SBDC helps small and medium-size businesses with all aspects of their business, and for us to branch out to assist with providing more resources in this specialized area of transportation makes perfect sense,” said Kelly Manning, State Director of the Colorado SBDC Network. “We are thrilled to partner with CDOT and help our businesses advance in this area of expertise.” The website is organized to help contractors that are just getting started and those that are looking to build their business. Resources have been collected from various sources and consolidated into one centralized location, making it easier to find CDOT project opportunities, get certified as a small business, connect with prime contractors, and register for relevant training and events.
“The launch of the Connect2DOT website marks a key milestone in our overall plan to expand small business resources to communities throughout Colorado under the direction of the Colorado SBDCs. There is now a one-stop online resource for contractors that puts all of the information they need to compete for CDOT contracts right at their fingertips,” said Greg Diehl, Manager of the CDOT Civil Rights & Business Resource Center. Other features of the website include an industry-wide event calendar, an interactive map of statewide SBDC locations, an opt-in bid matching system, and an email newsletter. Please visit www.connect2dot.org for the best and most up-to-date information on small business contracting in the Colorado transportation industry. As the program evolves, Connect2DOT kiosks with website access, monitors and printers will be placed at strategic locations throughout the state. One such kiosk will be placed at the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center located at the Chamber. These kiosks will be free to use by any company interested in growing their business in the transportation industries. “We are excited to host one of the Connect2DOT kiosks at the South Metro Denver SBDC. We will have a consultant dedicated to assisting clients grow their businesses in the transportation industry,” said Marcia McGilley, executive director of the South Metro Denver SBDC. The Colorado SBDC is a partnership between the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, the U.S. Small Business Administration, Colorado’s institutions of higher education, and local development organizations.

Coffman.

Baseball on front burner for quarterback Westmoreland heads into last year at ThunderRidge

ThunderRidge High and The star-School senior-to-be is the school’s Startstarting quarterback and All-State Ave.,shortstop. bro- When asked if he would rathhem er being throwing a football or rfor-a baseball this time of year, he longprobably wanted to say both, but rfor-quickly answered baseball. Ori- “This early in June, I’ll being eivesdoing a lot of baseball,” said Westaokemoreland. kets: Westmoreland, who hit .455 8 forwith 40 runs batted in and seven home runs for the Class 5A state champion Grizzlies, is involved in summer baseball with Team Colorado in addition to making tournament trips to Oklahoma and Atlanta this month. This is the same time that ThunderRidge is conducting 7-on-7 passing practices and scrimmages, but Grizzlies head football coach Joe Johnson understands his No. 1 quarterback is a premier baseball player who has committed to play at San Diego State. “Coach Johnson is really cool,” said Westmoreland. “He knows I take baseball seriously. He knows I’m pretty committed to both sports. “With the 7-on-7 we go through, it is kind of hard because I want to be prepared for football and be ready with all my teammates, but it’s the beginning of summer and I’m just wrapping up high school baseball and starting summer ball.” Westmoreland is intent on continuing to develop as a complete baseball player. “With baseball in the summer,
‘He knows I take baseball seriously. He knows I’m pretty committed to both sports.’ Brody Westmoreland
I’m just working on developing myself as a baseball player and see what different things and aspects I can do to better myself,” he said. “Once I get back at the end of the month, I’ll start participating in 7-on-7s every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the rest of July.” Westmoreland threw for 1,702 yards and 13 touchdowns last fall for the ThunderRidge football team, which was a Class 5A semifinalist. He also rushed for 735 yards and 12 TDs. “We run the ball a lot with our offense, so this opportunity to do 7-on-7 gives us more of a time to incorporate our fast-pace, nohuddle offense,” Westmoreland said. “During our 7-on-7s we can run more of our two-minutes drills, get those passing routes down with the short and long routes. “I get in a little trouble overlapping baseball and football, but luckily my coach is lenient with me and knows I put in a lot of work. Once I get back from going out of state and playing baseball, all my time is dedicated to football.”

Twisters make for memorable trip Girls softball team forced to take shelter in Oklahoma By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews. com A recent out-of-state trip by the DC Jaguars 14Under girls softball team had a twist to it. The team, mostly made up of Douglas County middle-school players, was in Oklahoma City and primed to play in the Oklahoma Challenge tournament when multiple tornados passed through the area May 31. “We were eating in a restaurant and the sirens starting going off,” said coach Liza Rosa. “We had to evacuate the restaurant. They sent us to an underground parking convention center. We were told to get against the wall because a tornado was coming. “We were down there for 3½ hours waiting for the tornado to come by and clear us. It was headed our way. I’m not sure how close it got. When they said it was coming and to get close to the wall, it veered and went
southwest. It didn’t go over us in the parking garage. We were very lucky.” Lucky but scared. “The girls were scared,” recalled Rosa. “None of them had experienced a tornado before. They were scared because they just didn’t know what was going to happen. It was the unknown. They were upset. Some of them were crying. All the girls had their parents with them. We had little kids there too. “ Rosa, however, had a reassuring talk with a woman who was also waiting out the storm in the parking garage. “You didn’t know if we were in the safest place, but this lady that was standing next to us was from Oklahoma and she said she was here in ‘87 and it was a bad tornado and this place did not fall down and the tornado went right over us,” said Rosa. “So that made us feel a little better. She said, `It’s not coming down and we’re going to be fine.’” The scenes on the way back to the hotel after the tornadoes had passed will surely leave some memories. “When we went back to the hotel, all the lights were out
on the street,” said Rosa. “You would come up on a tree, a car or something that you would have to go around and there was flooding everything. We got back to the hotel and we didn’t have any lights. We were in the dark. “Afterwards, the girls would hear a certain sound and think it was a siren. You could just see the fear in their eyes.” All tournament games were postponed June 1, and the Jags played two games on June 2 and three on June 3. The team finished fifth in the tournament. “Considering everything that went on, the girls did phenomenal,” bragged Rosa. “We finished fifth out of 39 teams. It was very different. The College World Series (women’s softball) was going on. Although we had a real bad experience Friday (May 31), since we didn’t have any games Saturday (June 1), the girls were able to go to some World Series games and get autographs. “One of our players when we were down in the parking garage got autographs of all the Arizona State team. They got sent down there too. So despite everything that happened, there were a few good things that happened.”

Chris Korte of the Lone Tree Golf Club was one of two qualifiers in the Boys 15-17 division in the two-day qualifying tournament, which concluded June 6 at Pelican Lakes Golf Club in Windsor, Colo.

Ringsby, representing the Denver County Club, had rounds of 65 and 74 to finish with a 1-under-par total of 139. Wood, an Arapahoe High School golfer from South Suburban Family Sports, had rounds of 71 and 69 to finish a stroke behind Ringsby at 140.

Horacek tabbed by Orioles
Former ThunderRidge pitcher Mitch Horacek, a junior southpaw at Dartmouth, was selected in round 10 of the Major League Baseball draft by the Baltimore Orioles. It was the second time Horacek has been tabbed in the draft. The Colorado Rockies picked him late in the 2010 draft. Horacek, 6-foot-6, 210 pounds, was 6-2 in the spring for Dartmouth with a 2.20 earned run average and three complete games. Opposing batters hit only .241 against him and he had a 4.2 strikeout-to-walk ratio that was the second best in the Ivy League.

Soap Box racer Caitlyn Benkoski keeps a keen eye on the competition as she competes in the Seventh Annual Sertoma Mile High Soap Box Derby June 9. Kids ages 8 to 17 race home-built gravity-powered cars in four divisions for a chance to compete in the All-American Soap Box Derby, to be held in July 27 in Akron, Ohio.
With the wind pushing and gravity pulling, local youths put their racing skills to the test at the 2013 Sertoma Mile High Soap Box Derby, held June 7-9 at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds. The derby is a youth racing program for boys and girls ages 8 to 17, challenging them to build their own gravity-powered car, suitable to compete in four different divisions. This is the first year the derby has been held at the fairgrounds, and many who attended, as well as raced, welcomed the wide-open space and less traffic.

the disease for 10 years. “This program, however, offers light and laughter … not only to the participants but for their families.” The program is Memories in the Making. It provides archival supplies — the same brushes, paints and 140-pound paper used by professional artists — to participants, who with guidance from volunteer artists, create art that often correlates to hidden memories. Research shows short-term memory generally declines first, while the part of the brain associated with distant memories is often the last to go. Art and music are among the few ways a patient — whose confusion has impaired verbal skills — can still communicate. “They have a point of contact,” Spaulding says. “They’re not able to really remember family and friends. But looking at the art … they’re talking to the volunteers, to each other. It keeps the brain active. That socialization is really important. Then there’s the self-esteem. They have a purpose — to come to class to create something.” The volunteer artists don’t do any of the work. They might help a hand close around a brush or suggest direction. But “we never draw a line,” says Lisa, who volunteers at Emeritus Denver, a care facility in southwest Denver, one of 45 in the metro Denver-Boulder area that offers the program. Kim Franklin runs Memories in the Making at Emeritus Denver. A former hairstylist who worked her way from styling residents’ hair to life enrichment director, she believes God brought her here to help guide residents “through their final journey home.” “I put myself in their shoes,” she says. “Can you imagine at 88 years old, going to a door and it’s locked and you can’t get out? I just want to give them that dignity here …. They kind of go into another world when they’re painting.”
Bettie Van Zetten smiles. John laughs. “Turn it around. More like 72. Wait — more like 74!” “Best review,” he says, looking at his painting, “this is a no-talent thing. Patience — patience is more important than talent.” With a little urging from Lisa, John talks about a long-ago passion for cars. “As a young man I worked on cars,” he tells her. “That was the only way you could keep them running.” A painting he completed some time ago, depicting a lake with a lighthouse, brought back memories of days spent at his grandparents’ lakeside home in Michigan, tales his family hadn’t heard in a while. “We’re able to pull from them these nuggets of memories,” Spaulding says. “It’s a real bright spot for families.” His painting finished, John closes his watercolor box. “You’re an amazing artist,” Lisa says, studying the Lincoln, shaded in varying tones of black against an eddying backdrop of green bushes. “Well,” John says, “thank you. It’s fun.” Not every painting elicits recollections for the artists. And “sometimes, you never know if the stories are true or not,” Lisa says. “But then you get to the point where it doesn’t matter, because it’s true to them.”
Although John, who had never picked up a paintbrush before starting the class about 1½ years ago, will say he’s not talented, he is. “He’s a really, really good artist,” Lisa says. He’s so good that two of his paintings were selected for the annual Memories in the Making auction, held last week in Denver. Some 4,000 pieces are submitted from program participants throughout Colorado. Juried by professional artists, about 75 are selected. Some are then paired with 30 professional artists, who choose a piece of artwork and reinterpret it the way they see it. Morrison artist Margaretta Caesar, who paints with oils, has participated for about four years. She still remembers the first time she walked into the exhibition room with tables covered in “magnificent” John George looks at a photograph of watercolors. an old Lincoln as he dips his brush into the “We were told to find the one that black circle of paint in his watercolor box. speaks to us.

John attended with his wife, Lee. “The Steer Leader” was one of the showcase paintings. “He had a hard time understanding why people were making such a fuss over him,” Lee says. She told him the painting was his. “But I didn’t do that.” “John, that’s your signature.” John’s big hobby throughout his life had been photography. And, Lee says, he always had a good sense of light and space, which seems to have translated into his new pastime. She’s watched how he enjoys painting. “He’ll spend a long time — his attention is fixed right in the painting the whole time he’s doing it,” she says.North “HeIn-is amazing.” at 3080 dustrial Way, Building #5, Castleothers, Rock, But John, like many doesn’t Colorado 80109.

research and help in the Coors kidnapping case in 1960. The mother of two children, she raised them on her own after a divorce when her oldest, her son Barry, was 10. At one time, she did paint. But what her children remember most is how she made flower sculptures from discarded aluminum sheets, how she decorated objects with paper cut-outs, how she loved music and even tap-danced. “She was always creating something or trying to create something,” says daughterin-law Eileen Van Zetten, Barry’s wife. Born in Kansas, she traveled with her family to many rural areas during the Great Depression and came to love the outdoors. Her paintings often reflect that inspiration and her deep faith, her family says. “I can see her spirituality in them and her love of the outside,” Eileen says. “For all of us, it’s a way to see that what she’s actually thinking and feeling is beautiful.” For the auction, Bettie’s landscape, a mountain scene draped in blue, gold and green hues that she named “God’s Beauty,” was paired with a photograph from renowned Colorado nature photographer John Fielder. Unbeknownst to event organizers, over the years Bettie had collected just about every Ansel Adams book of nature photographs; son Barry is a huge Fielder fan. So when Eileen and Barry saw her painting next to his photograph, they held hands and cried. “We were both so touched by how this came together, her vision and his vision, and it was almost overwhelming,” Eileen says. “It was one of the most moving things I’ve seen in many years.” For Barry, his mother’s paintings keep them close, Eileen says. “This is like a way of holding onto a piece of something she feels for him.” Bettie, absorbed in the angel, adds color to a wing. “I’d love to be an artist,” she says. “Wouldn’t it be fun to be an artist?” “OK, Bettie, last thing,” Kim says. “Do you want to do something for the dress?” She hands Bettie the angel so she can feel the wood and understand the texture. “How would I make it?” Bettie asks. Lisa: “We have silver paint.” There is silence as Bettie adds water to black paint. “This looks gray, doesn’t it?” Kim: “Probably if you use less water.” “It’s getting more, more silver.” “So,” says Kim, “every artist names their painting.” Bettie quickly responds. “Good thing I’m not an artist.” The class ends and Bettie, Sue, John, Paul and the others close their watercolor boxes, each labeled with their names. They leave quietly, with smiles and goodbyes to each other, and a few hugs for Lisa and Kim. On the table is Bettie’s angel. It wears a silver-gray dress and holds a red box. The sky behind her is Colorado blue. Kim has written Bettie’s name on the back, along with the title Bettiethe gave it: County anticipates that this RFP will be the first phase in “Secrets of the FBI.” a multi-phase process.
