Rider keeps up fight against disease Highlands Ranch man with MS joins bike event By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com When Steve Schade was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2007, his family rallied around him without hesitation and started helping raise money in search of a cure. Just 34 years old at the time, the Highlands Ranch man used to enjoy his summer evenings playing softball. He began to have difficulty seeing the ball coming at him and suddenly could no longer see colors vividly. Things were almost gray scale, he said. About the same time he also began to feel numbness in his feet and knees. “It felt like my legs were falling asleep,” he said. “I thought it was a circulation issue, that I had a pinched nerve. It wasn’t apparent at all times, but was very gradual.” With no specific diagnosis process available for multiple sclerosis, Schade underwent a year’s worth of tests, up to and including spinal taps, before receiving a “probable MS diagnosis” and beginning treatment. He has been on numerous drugs and steroids over the past six years, and does everything he can to stay sharp and active. Since the summer of 2008, one of the ways he has stayed active is by participating in the local Bike MS ride each year. Accompanied by a team of family members and friends, riding under the moniker of “Stevie’s Wonders,” he has raised more than $25,000 to go toward research of a disease that to this day has no known cure. This year, while eight members of Stevie’s Wonders pedaled 150 miles from Westminster to Fort Collins and back June 29 and 30, Schade rode the 75-mile jaunt on day one as an honorary member of NOW (No Opportunity Wasted) Novartis, teaming up on a tandem bicycle with professional cyclist Olivia Dillon. The NOW Novartis team is pedaling with different honorary members at five of the
Douglas County’s unemployment rate has dipped to 5.8 percent, the lowest it has been since the conclusion of the fourth quarter in 2008. The number comes as great news for the county, which just released its 2013 firstquarter data days after the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics put out its year-to-year statistics that showed Douglas County as having the seventh-largest increase in employment from the end of 2011 to the end of 2012, out of the 328 largest counties in the United States. Douglas County increased its total number of jobs to 98,500, up 5,000 from a year ago, a 5.1 percent increase. The study also showed the county as second in average weekly wage increase of the 328 counties — which account for 71.3 percent of all jobs and 77 percent of all wages in the country. Leading the way in weekly wage increase was California’s San Mateo County, which saw a 107.3 percent bump, vaulting from $1,563 per week per person to $3,240. Douglas County workers saw an average increase of 48 percent, increasing from $1,075 per week in 2011 to $1,591 in 2012. Wages for No. 3, the independent city of Virginia Beach, climbed only 13.3 percent. Yet while the $516 increase appears to be an astounding one, according to Douglas County spokeswoman Wendy Holmes, it is skewed by the fact that wages increased 362 percent for the industry of “management of companies and enterprises.” “When you remove that group, wages in Douglas County are only up 7.9 percent,” Holmes said, pointing to the other 18 industries that were weighed. Still, that is a positive sign for a county that between the fourth quarters in 2010 and 2011 ranked No. 318 with an 8.6 decrease in wages, all industries considered. The county only had three industries that were down, and with the addition of 5,000 new jobs there is a lot to be pleased about, said Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella. “I would say it is because of two things,” Jobs continues on Page 12
NOW Novartis team members Steve Schade and Olivia Dillon get ready to ride the June 29 Bike MS Colorado ride that raises money for multiple sclerosis research. Schade, a Highlands Ranch resident, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2007. He went through a year’s worth of tests before being diagnosed at age 34. Courtesy photo 100 Bike MS rides around the country this summer, with a mission of showing that MS does not have to define or limit the more than 400,000 Americans who have the disease. At the Colorado ride, they were part of the 3,000-plus cyclists who helped to raise a total of $2,795,595, according to Karen Malone with Novartis Pharmaceuticals. In addition to raising money for research and to help those with the disease, Schade said the rides do a lot more for those battling MS. “Being around other people who are affected by the same thing is a great boost,” he said.
“Not a lot of people in my inner circle really understand what I am going through, so it is a really positive thing to have that sense of community and see other people who have had it 10, 15, 30 years. “You hear a lot about how devastating (MS) is and how difficult it is on people, but it really doesn’t have to be a death sentence. Within the last five to 10 years, medications and therapies have come so far and things are continuously getting better.” To learn more about the NOW Novartis campaign, please visit www.togetherMS. com.

Love planted here sprouts in Africa On an unseasonably cold April day three years ago, snow broke from the sky and chilled business for a Castle Rock garage sale. But high school student Hanna Tenerowicz and her friends in the French Honor Society slapped high fives in jubilation. They had raised $150, enough to pay for two Congolese girls to stay in school another year and lessen their risk of being married at 13 or 14 in exchange for money to feed their families. “They were just so excited that we raised enough to sponsor a girl,” said Anne Damanti, Hanna’s French teacher at Castle View High School. But Hanna, 19, a wisp of a young woman who just completed her freshman year at Wellesley College near Boston, wants to do more. Two weeks ago she left for the Democratic Republic of Congo to document the lives of schoolgirls, bring back their hopes and ideas for community transformation, and establish connections to help those dreams come true. “Gender equality makes a difference,” Hanna, whose soft voice conveys conviction with quiet, deep passion, said before leaving. “It’s a domino effect on all kinds of things.” The story of how this came to be — that a girl so shy Anne often couldn’t hear her speak in class has grown into a young woman daring to change lives — converges on a shared connection to the French language and a motivation to help. It is a story of compassion, determination and, quite simply, courage. Because it takes bravery to stretch beyond the familiar, to push cultural boundaries, to try to make a difference in a world so big and complicated we sometimes wonder whether what we do matters. Finally, perhaps most importantly, it is a story of empowerment. And it begins with Sandra Bea, who emigrated to Colorado in 2001 from the French-speaking D.R. Congo to continue her studies in education. A French teacher, she graduated from Metropolitan State
University of Denver and today is dean of students at Global Village Academy, a language immersion school in Denver. The daughter of an engineer of a local mining company in Mbuji-Mayi, the country’s third largest city, Sandra grew up without worries: “I was eating three times a day; I went to school with a car. I grew up really easily. It was not hard like the other girls are facing right now. We never had any conversation about `You are going to get married in two days because we don’t have the money.’” It wasn’t until she was 22 and student teaching in her former high school that she understood the reality. Every two weeks, it seemed, another student would leave. They were, she learned, getting married. “Why?” she asked. “Because, Madam, we are not like you,” they told her. “You can afford it. We cannot afford it.” “That,” Sandra said, “broke my heart.” So, four years ago, she founded the nonprofit Muanjadi Organization, a women’s empowerment project that helps girls complete their high school education and avoid early arranged marriages. “For many parents in the Congo, marrying off their daughters constitutes a source of revenue in a country where people live with less than $1 a day with a GDP per capita of $300,” Sandra writes on the organization’s website. Through fundraising and donations, the organization — whose name means Brave Woman — provides tuition and supplies for girls in seventh through 12th grades at the same school Sandra attended. Cost for one girl for one year of high school: $75.
CASTLE ROCK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRESENTS
Cost for one year of college: $350. Anne, originally from Belgium, met Sandra and learned about Muanjadi at a state world language conference three years ago. She brought the idea back to her French Honor Society, which was looking for a community service project. Students learned how most girls eat just one meal a day and how the school has no water or electricity. They compared the cost of one year of high school to what teens here might spend on fancy jeans or a Starbucks coffee habit. “That’s not a lot to have the freedom to actually go to school and try to be something,” Anne said. That, Hanna said, coupled with the specter of forced marriage, “was a pretty powerful thing to learn about.” Last school year, Muanjadi sponsored 100 girls, 11 of them thanks to Castle View. The honor society, which has corresponded with the girls through letters, phone and Skype, also is sponsoring a student in college — one of the girls it began sponsoring in high school three years ago. Other organization sponsors include Kent Denver Academy, Metro State, Colorado State University, a lawyers’ organization and many individuals and families. But Hanna hopes to take the program one step further. Her new project is Portrait of a Brave Woman. Accompanied by Sandra, she has spent the past two weeks interviewing — in French — and filming girls at the school about their lives, but also about their ideas to implement change in their communities. She plans to share the mini-documentaries with artists who will be encouraged to create paintings about a particular girl whose story connects with them. Proceeds from the sale of those paintings will go toward the girls’ personal and community goals, such as becoming a nurse or training midwives to decrease the high infant mortality rate. The objectives are several: to empower Congolese girls, improve their communities and create meaningful cross-cultural
connections with Western artists and buyers. “I hope community improvement brought about by women’s ideas will help to create more positive and respectful attitudes towards women in Mbuji-Mayi,” Hanna, also an artist, said. And “I hope the project empowers the girls themselves by helping them to personally make a difference.” Her dream is unquestionably big. But, Anne said, “There is nothing, anymore, that she can’t do.” Hanna’s visit, Sandra said, is the concrete realization of what dreams and hard work can accomplish. And having someone their age talk to them and share ideas with them is inspirational: “You don’t know me, but you came to give me a chance to become someone.” Which is exactly what Hanna wanted to do after reading “Half the Sky,” a book about the oppression of women and girls in the developing world. “It really changed my outlook on the world,” she said. “I was really interested in doing whatever I could to make a difference.” Hanna returns this week with her videos and interviews and dream. “I’m definitely prepared for this to change my life,” she said before leaving. Without a doubt, it will. But, in a school half a world away, girls are surely changed, too, because a stranger from a different life cared enough to learn about theirs. That’s empowerment. The kind that makes a difference. To learn more about Hanna Tenerowicz and Portrait of a Brave Woman, go to www. muanjadi.blogspot.com.

Schools gain from experience People 60 and older work during academic year By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Fifty-five years after he first started teaching, Gordon Goudy is still in the classroom. The 77-year-old Acres Green resident, among 100 enrolled in the Senior Employee Program, helps Acres Green Elementary fourth-grade math students four days a week for a few hours each time. “I love it,” Goudy said. “I love working with the kids to bring out their potential, seeing them make progress. “It keeps my mind going, keeps me from getting stagnant. Besides that, my wife likes it because it gets me out of the house.” The Douglas County School District program, launched in 1989, has a permanent waiting list. Seniors earn minimum wage and work a maximum of 170 hours during the school year, usually in a school near their home, often in a school their grandchildren attend. Goudy and about 25 other participants gathered in Castle Rock July 2 for the annual Senior Employee Program appreciation event, this year including a free magic performance at Castle Rock’s Theatre of Dreams. It’s a small token of appreciation for a huge amount of work, said program coordi-

Park foundation seeks trustees
The Highlands Ranch Park and Recreation Foundation is recruiting new board members to fill immediate vacancies on its board of trustees. The nonprofit foundation works hand in hand with the Highlands Ranch Metro District to preserve, enhance and advocate for Highlands Ranch parks, recreation, open space and urban forest projects. The foundation accomplishes this mission by creating a community of donors and raising private funds for various projects. Interested individuals should have a diverse and broad range of strengths, experience and backgrounds including: nonprofit experience, a willingness to support the foundation’s mission both financially and with their time, a willingness to actively help raise money, an ability to help recruit new board members and a commitment to improving the quality of life for Highlands Ranch residents. “We are hoping to find candidates willing to roll up their sleeves, dive right in and get to work,” said Carrie Ward, director of parks, recreation and open space. Interested individuals should contact Ward at cward@highlandsranch.org or 720-240-5950. Applicants should be willing to give between eight and 10 hours per month.
Ranch named `booming suburb’
In a Coldwell Banker Real Estate study that surveyed 1,500 American communities, Highlands Ranch was recently named as Colorado’s “Top Booming Suburb.” The “Booming Suburbs” rankings were based on increased year-over-year levels in employment and unemployment percentages below the national norm, along with a range of attributes that include access to suburban staples such as grocery stores and banks, proximity to good schools, commute criteria and community safety. “As America continues to bounce back from the recession, this ranking identifies suburbs that have shown strong economic growth since the recovery,” said Budge Huskey, president and chief executive officer of Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. “These communities have the American ideals we love, the suburban dream intact and a population that is finding jobs at a better rate than the national average. That is the definition of a thriving community.” Highlands Ranch was ranked No. 25 out of the 50 state leaders.
come close to it,” she said. “With budget cuts, I’ve had more requests the last couple years than I did when
it started. The schools are thrilled to have them.” Seniors are thrilled, too. “Everyone wants to feel like they’re making a difference and I think they really do,” Briggs said. “Plus seniors tell me that little extra money every month really helps them out. The only sad part is there are so many people that would like to be involved and I don’t have enough spaces.” Those who earn a coveted spot in the program’s ranks typically keep it. “I have some that have been in for 25 years,” Briggs said. “They have to be over 60, so I have some that are over 85 years old that are still in the program. If the schools are happy and they’re happy, they can stay in the program as long as they like.” Ruth Baxter just finished her second year with the program as a reading tutor at Parker’s Mountain View Elementary. It’s a natural next step for a woman who spent much of her career helping improve children’s literacy. “I have this wonderful passion for struggling readers,” she said. “I love the interaction with the children.” Sadie Bush is new to the program, just completing her first year working in the library at Castle Rock’s Clear Sky Elementary. She’ll be back in August to resume her duties. “I retired after 40 years as a nurse; I didn’t want any more nursing,” she said. “A friend of mine was doing this and told me; I’m very grateful to her. I love my job.”

Educators go on working vacation 200 teachers attend summer science camp By Virginia Grantier
vgrantier@ourcoloradonews.com It’s summertime, time to be lounging by the pool, just like teachers Amanda Schmidt and Karen Stanfield. Well, maybe not just like them. The two elementary school teachers were sitting on a concrete sidewalk June 24 next to a kiddie wading pool in 90s temps, and they were dressed in long pants. Not cool. Stanfield’s long shirtsleeves were pushed up for work. And their focus was on handfuls of nails and the sand-dollar-size boats they had just designed out of soft clay. The idea was to see how many nails they could load on their boats before it sank. Ultimately, Schmidt prevailed with 16 nails to Stanfield’s 11. They had taken the plunge, just like about 200 other Douglas County elementary teachers, to spend two summer days soaking up not sun but science camp at Castle Rock Elementary School — an opportunity that Jaime Bailey, a district assessment specialist for professional development, and others had organized. Bailey said busy elementary teachers often focus on teaching life and earth sciences instead of physical science. The camp gave teachers opportunities to try physical-science labs that take few supplies. The second day of camp, teachers then wrote lab lesson plans. Eric Sonnentag, an eighth-grade teacher at Mesa Middle School, this day wearing a camp counselor shirt, said that for the camp, he redesigned labs he uses for elementary level. What he wanted the camper-teachers to discover was they didn’t need a huge science kit, just a few simple items from a store. “I know elementary teachers are really cramped for time,” he said. “What I hope is that they understand that science can be done quickly and you can give kids a lot of control.” Another lab had teachers trying to

Teachers interviewed said they figured out they could chew it to get the sugar out, and then took into consideration the additional saliva weight when weighing. Other teachers, in friendly com-

Human trafficker convicted on 89 counts Kalu guilty of luring foreign nurses with lies By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com A Highlands Ranch businessman was convicted by a federal jury in Denver on 89 counts including mail fraud, visa fraud, human trafficking and money laundering. Kizzy Kalu, 49, will be sentenced Sept. 23 by Chief Judge Marcia Krieger in U.S. District Court and faces up to 20 years in federal prison. Each of the 89 counts also carries a penalty of up to $250,000. In custody throughout the course of the four-week trial
that ended July 1, Kalu remains in custody awaiting his sentencing. Kalu was indicted in March 2012 for a scheme that involved making false representations to foreign nationals seeking work in the U.S., to the State of Colorado, and to the U.S. government. Kalu lured nurses from countries across the world to come to Denver to work for Adam University, a university that exists in name only, as highly paid instructor supervisors. He helped more than 25 nurses obtain H-1B visas to come to Denver. Once they arrived, they were forced to find work in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities where they worked for much less money than promised. Each of the nurses
Former youth pastor set for trial
paid Kalu $6,500 for assistance in obtaining a visa and each signed a contract that said if they left his employment they would owe him $25,000. Each of the victims also forfeited 40 percent of their weekly pay to Kalu, and his company Foreign Healthcare Professionals Group, under the threat that he would revoke their visa and have them deported if they did not do what was asked of them. “The victims in this case remained in the country to testify, if needed, at trial,” said Jeff Dorschner, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Colorado. “What happens next (to them) will be up to ICE.” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations
was one of numerous federal and state departments, along with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, which investigated the case against Kalu. Kumar Kibble, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Denver, called human trafficking a form of modern-day slavery, saying that “human traffickers use force, fraud and coercion to obtain free or cheap labor from their victims” in order to profit. “Today’s verdict reflects (our) commitment to aggressively protect U.S. borders and the integrity of our travel document and labor laws,” said Michael Bayer, special agent in charge of the Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service.

Plea agreement could be in works for Capranelli, who faces sex-assault charges By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com A November trial date has been set for a former Highlands Ranch youth pastor accused of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust. Matt Capranelli, formerly employed with Mountain View Community Church, was 41 when he was arrested in November. He is charged with eight felony counts for his alleged involvement with a former female member of the youth group. After denying a request by Capranelli for a fourth continuance at a July 8 arraignment, 18th Judicial District Court Judge Richard Caschette entered a not-guilty plea on Capranelli’s behalf and set a motions date of Oct. 4. Public Defender Emily Witham, who is representing Capranelli, informed Caschette that she had recently received a plea Capranelli offer from the district attorney’s office and that she needed to review it and discuss it with the prosecution. “This is the fourth continuance that has been requested,” Caschette said. “We need to get this trial underway. As long as it won’t interfere with discussions between the two parties, any outstanding offers will remain open until motions.” Deputy District Attorney Chris Gallo said that if an agreement is not reached by the time the defendant files motions, the DA’s office will pull any offers they have made and proceed with a jury trial. Caschette scheduled a fourday trial to begin Nov. 12. Capranelli, who according to his Facebook page resides in Pueblo West, remains free on a $50,000 bond. One of the bond conditions is that he is not allowed to spend unsupervised time with his three children, ages 6, 11 and 12.

A 31-year-old Franktown man is facing five charges including driving under the influence and first-degree assault for nearly striking a sheriff’s deputy, then leading law officers on a chase down Interstate 25 early July 7. The pursuit ended with both the driver and a sheriff’s deputy crashing at Belleview Avenue. Jonathan Merage is accused of vehicular eluding, first-degree assault, resisting arrest, reckless driving and DUI in a series of early morning incidents. An officer first saw the Lexus traveling about 100 mph on Interstate 25 south of Lone Tree just after 1 a.m., according to Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Ron Hanavan. About 10 minutes Merage later, the car was spotted in an apartment complex off Lincoln Avenue east of I-25. Deputies tried to box the Lexus in with their patrol car, but Merage managed to drive away, narrowly missing a deputy. Deputies pursued Merage north on Interstate 25 to about Belleview, where he crashed into a concrete barrier. Two Douglas County sheriff’s vehicles also collided at the scene. Merage and a deputy both were taken to an area hospital, but were released. Merage was being held in the Douglas County jail.

School security ready for rollout $674,000 marshal program to outfit officers in `soft’ uniform By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Armed law enforcement officers will spend about two hours each day in area elementary, middle and other school buildings as part of the Douglas County School District’s new school security program. The $674,000 marshal program, which launches in August with the start of the academic year, was created in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in December. The district budgeted $600,000 for the program’s first year. Seven charter schools that opted into the program are paying a total of $74,000. That $674,000 reimburses the sheriff’s office and Castle Rock, Parker and Lone Tree police departments for their officers’ time. DCSD will pay the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office $361,000, Castle Rock $160,000, Parker $123,000 and Lone Tree police $30,000. The amounts are based on the number of schools in each jurisdiction. Lone Tree, for instance, has the fewest buildings to patrol, with just two elementary schools and an early childhood education center. While the original plan called for plainclothes officers, they’ll instead wear what officers describe as a “soft uniform” — including a shirt with a department insignia on the front and “police” or “sheriff” printed on the back — so school staff, students and other officers easily can identify them.
Douglas County Schools Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, surrounded by local law officers and Soaring Hawk Elementary fifth-graders, talks to reporters on May 30 about the new armed marshal program. File photo “In talking with law enforcement, there was concern about other agencies responding in the event of an emergency, and not being able to identify law enforcement from another threat,” DCSD Chief Operations Officer Bill Moffitt said. “So the agreement we landed on was a soft uniform.” Because officers will report to schools in unmarked cars, those outside the building won’t know when law enforcement is on campus. Chief Jeff Streeter said officers will spend an hour every morning and afternoon in
Fostering kindness ‘a work in progress’ Vista grad’s project focuses on good deeds, paying it forward By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Mountain Vista High School graduate Zac Garland is on a mission — a mission to connect strangers through random acts of kindness. In doing so, he hopes to help make the world a happier, more caring place. The University of Northern Colorado junior launched a web-fueled project this past semester called “A Work in Progress,” in which random acts of kindness are encouraged, and the theme of paying it forward guides one act to the next. To kick-start the project, Garland printed off 1,000 “good deed cards” and has distributed more than 700 of them in the past three months. The idea, he said, is that “a fire begins with a single flame,” and that after completing a good deed the doer gives the recipient the card and they have to perform a good deed before passing it on. Each card has a tracking number, and people have the opportunity to enter the tracking number on the website, while telling a story, anonymously or not, of the deed they did, and if it
Zac Garland, a University of Northern Colorado junior and Mountain Vista graduate, launched a nonprofit this past semester called “A Work in Progress,” in which random acts of kindness are encouraged, and the theme of paying it forward guides one act to the next. Garland has handed out 1,000 cards already with the idea that once someone does a good deed they will give the recipient of that deed the card to pay it forward. Courtesy photo isn’t already up there, what someone did for them. “Whether people choose to enter their good deed on the website isn’t what’s important,” he said. “As long as they are using the card to make a difference in someone else’s life, that means the world. We’re trying to foster relationships through random acts of kindness, having people look at a complete stranger and say, `I could do something nice for them and change their lives in a positive way.’” Garland came up with the idea after getting involved with the Sigma Chi fraternity’s philanthropic committee. Unsatisfied with the “lack of heart in
raising money the traditional way” for various charities, he said he wanted to come up with something that really made a difference to everyone involved. “It can be as small as paying for a Starbucks drink for the person behind you in line and can grow exponentially from there,” he said. “The hope is that in a year’s time we will see some really impactful deeds have been done and that it has gained some serious traction.” For more information, to read about some of the deeds already done, or to obtain a card, please visit www.awip.me.
each of the city’s three school buildings. They’ll interact with students and staff, which Streeter said isn’t unlike their previous school visits. “Lone Tree has always participated with the school district in training classes, DARE
being one of them, weekly or every other week,” he said. “So now we’ll be there on a daily basis. “I think it’s a good program. I think it does give us another layer of safety.” The sheriff’s office, meanwhile, is responsible for 38 charter, middle and elementary schools. Like Lone Tree, the office doesn’t plan to hire additional officers to do the work. “We have a little under 300 sworn officers,” sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Ron Hanavan said. “Out of those 300, people can basically on their days off sign up for extra duty. There wouldn’t be enough funding to hire additional officers. We’re doing it for us in the most cost-effective way.” Lone Tree won’t use patrol officers, instead relying on those who work in the investigations division. The Parker Police Department plans to hire an additional officer to help implement the program. Castle Rock is relying on existing staff this year, but will hire and train two more officers by the start of the 2014-15 academic year, according to town spokeswoman Caroline Kipp. “We’re really confident this is going to be successful,” Moffitt said. “I think it’s going to be an excellent additional lawyer of security that really strikes a partnership in the community and the county as a whole.”

opinions / yours and ours
Don’t let one second go unappreciated Have you ever paid attention when someone is counting for a specific purpose or during a game or competition, and as they near the point of where they are counting toward, there is a discernable difference in the tonality and pace? If they are counting to 10 for instance it may sound something like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 888, 999999, 10. What is it about the approach to those final numbers that has us draw them out, elongate them for dramatic purposes? We could be counting to 10, 50, 100, or any number for that matter, and just as we get close for some reason we end up with 95, 96, 9777, 988888, 999999999, 100. It’s not even the final number that gets the extra emphasis, I mean when we hit 10 or 100 we just say that number sharply and crisply, with absolute finality. It even happens when we do a countdown and reverse the order, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 333, 222222, 1111111, 0! Almost as if we are trying to extend or expand a timed event or task. I know it makes it fun during games and competitions, especially when
we are surrounded by our friends and family and enjoying our time together while we play. I like those other numbers too, all of those in-between numbers. I like thinking about how I can make every second count. There are 86,400 seconds in each day, and it’s the same for each and every one of us. During a recent workout I noticed that I was actually counting my repetitions in much the same way I described above. Particularly when I was doing a particular exercise and had to hold a position for a specified period of time. As I was counting

Flesh is weak, spirit isn’t far behind Ninety-year old Constance Rolon cried when Denver police officers welcomed her back into her home. Constance had been taken to a motel by the officers two weeks earlier because they determined that her house was uninhabitable. I have seen this before. My good friend Ruth Todd lost her husband and most of her five senses, and housework didn’t get done. Constance’s daughter died, and her son Paul vanished 13 years ago. A 2001 Westword article, “Home Alone,” details Paul’s mysterious disappearance when he was vacationing in Crete. Constance’s caregiver was gone. Little by little, her home went undone. Ruth’s home went that way too. Ruth was 96 when she died in a hospice, and thinking we were married. Relatives were anxious for her money, but not to help out with her estate. Ruth’s brilliant paintings went to the Kirkland Museum. Her furniture was sold or donated. The rest, including an empty bowling ball bag, went into one of the two dumpsters that I filled. Ruth spent a lot of time in ambulances near the end of her life. She always took her resume with her. She was a beautiful New York model in the 1920s and 30s, and by the time she turned 87, when I met her, she was an invisible woman. When police officers made a welfare check on Constance they couldn’t get in the front door. “Trash and tangled possessions” blocked them. There were cats. Aren’t there always cats? Ruth had a cat named Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea was attached to Ruth and to no one else. Ruth had one cat after another. In succession, they showed up at her back door. Ruth let one in, and it stayed with her for the rest of its life. Then another one showed up. “How terribly strange to be 70.” Simon
and Garfunkel wrote that. I am a handful of years away from being strange. The truth is that I have been strange all along. No one wants to get older. We lose things and forget things. The crisp young woman who walked the high school halls is long gone. We can no longer talk like we once did. Words become wickets. No one pays attention to us. No one flirts. Ruth and I went grocery shopping. It took two hours. She held up the grapes. She looked at vegetables like she might be seeing them for the last time. “At roll call, I told the guys what I needed and they all volunteered and took a chore,” said Sgt. Kim Lovato of the District 1 station.” The officers replaced carpet and painted Constance’s walls. They took care of the cats. Ruth bent over to pick up a piece of paper on her front porch. She broke her hip, and didn’t come home for 40 days. She didn’t think she would ever come home. So I went to her house and took pictures. Sweet Pea showed up, out of nowhere, and she let me take a picture of her. I took the pictures to the nursing home and Ruth couldn’t stop crying. Then she held me. If 70 is strange, what is 90? I’m not sure I want to find out. Beautiful lives sometimes fade without grace. I looked at my father in a Michigan hospital and wanted him to come back and play catch with me. But he couldn’t do anything on his own. He Smith continues on Page 9
down in my head and neared the number zero, I literally found myself extending the final numbers just so I could work a little harder. Of course, I could have just as easily kept counting, but the effect of drawing out the countdown to zero seemed to motivate me just a little more. How many times during our day do we either rush to have our workday come to an end, wishing the seconds and minutes would tick by just a little faster? It’s almost like we are counting them, either counting them up or counting them down, but we are watching the clock either way. And it could also happen as we wish the evening chores would go by faster or our workouts would be over sooner. What would happen if we stopped wishing for our 86,400 seconds to fly by us each day and we focused on making the most out of every one of the seconds we are so blessed to enjoy? During the rush and crush of our lives it is so easy to get wrapped up in the moments that we forget seconds. And each second is so valuable. Just ask a profes-
sional football player or basketball player if they can win a game with only three seconds left on the game clock. Watch as top chefs compete on some of the Food Network shows like “Chopped” or “Master Chef” and how much they can accomplish in the final 30 seconds as they complete their dishes. Instead of counting up to a final number or counting down to zero, and instead of just emphasizing those final few seconds, try to remember just how important every second is and think of ways that you can and will make every second count. Are you managing the clock to maximize every second, or winning the game in the final three seconds with a “buzzer beater” all too often? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and I hope this will be a better than good week for you.

Time to address parent concerns In a recent opinion piece, “Bogus claims ...,” Mr. Randy Reed claimed to be interested in the truth regarding the state of Douglas County School District. In the next breath he claims there is a “cottage industry of pro-union attack groups that have sprouted up across our community” without providing any concrete evidence of who these groups are and what proof he has of their association to the AFL-CIO or ACLU. The truth, Mr. Reed, is that these groups consist of parents who no longer have a voice in the Douglas County School District. Parents who moved to Douglas County with the hope of educating their children in one of the best school districts in the state. Instead they discover that class sizes have exploded and high school instructional time has been cut while the district is holding back vital resources and allowing its fund balance to quadruple. The variance between budget and actual expenditures is inexcusable and the ongoing $20 million surplus year after year demonstrates that cuts to our schools were unnecessarily made. Parents, often referred to as “customers” by the Board of Education, are discouraged by the actions of a school board that spends half of their time meeting behind closed doors and by a district that ignores the results of a parent survey showing that only 38 percent of parents are satisfied with the direction of the district. Many parents have tried addressing their concerns at board meetings and District Accountability Committee meetings, only to be ignored, intimidated or belittled.
Highlands Ranch Herald
Clearly, there is a problem in the school district — just read the paper week after week. Parents whose voices have been silenced will no longer sit idle while their childrens’ education is in jeopardy. Parentdriven groups like Strong Schools Coalition and Douglas County Parents have “sprouted up” because unlike Reed’s organization, parents are not flush with money to spend on robo calls and paid canvassers who distribute literature to virtually every citizen’s front door. Parents are hosting house parties through DCEdOutreach simply because they want a voice and their cries have gone unanswered. If Reed truly wants the truth about what is happening in Douglas County School District, simply restore parent voices. Reed’s refusal to acknowledge that a large number of parents have valid concerns leads me to believe that the truth may not be what he is truly seeking. Susan D. Meek is a former spokeswoman for the Douglas County School District who ran for a board seat and served as vice president of Strong Schools Coalition.

letters to the editor Does community care about Town Center?
I find it almost humorous every time I read an article in the Herald concerning a new business that is being considered for the Town Center. There are plenty of arguments on both sides. Fast Food or Upscale Eatery ... Size of the sign … Does the building complement the surrounding area? … What kind if clientele will it attract?... and so on. What I find amusing, and at the same time sad, is the fact that a number of years back there was a proposal to build an event/cultural center as a hub for the community. I can’t remember the cost exactly, but I seem to remember it being approximately $2 per person per month for 10 years. Even if it was $5 per person for a family of four that would be $20 per month, or $240 per year. How many designer coffees or hamburgers can you purchase for that amount? The bond measure was solidly turned down. And what did we get in its place as a magnet facility? We got a Home Depot! No offense is intended for Home Depot or the people who work there. But really. So what’s my point? I am wondering how anyone thinks that the Highlands Ranch community, as a whole, really cares what kind of eatery is approved for the Town Center. After all, we voted for a Home Depot rather than spending $240 per year for a first class event/cultural center. Just my personal opinion. David Tidaback Highlands Ranch
So-called ‘human’ dumped pups in trash
I read with great sorrow and not a little anger, the story of the pups found in a trash can at Highland Heritage Park. The article also mentioned alternative means of handling a situation like that (excellent suggestions all). However, a so-called “human” who would dump newborn puppies in a trash can would also never put themselves out to work a tad harder at finding a more humane way of handling this “problem.” I would like to meet the “human” who did this. I would like to see what face this human has. Shame on you. Did you sleep well that evening? Blessings to Officer Caitlyn Cahill for nursing the pups and getting them healthy. I know in my heart the good people of the Earth far outnumber the evil. Bo DeMarco Highlands Ranch
Schools in good hands
I’ve been a resident of Douglas County for 35 years and I have two children, who attended our public schools from kindergarten through graduation. I, like many others, have been supportive of our district school board and administration’s innovative policies, which a recent Denver Post editorial said were “on the right track.” I applaud the district’s fiscal management that has recently allowed for all employees to receive a raise, while meeting federal and state restrictions for reserves and contingencies and keeping an emergency fund. The new high school class schedule has made important changes. It has reduced class sizes overall, created new electives, increased academic achievement, reduced absences and tardiness while allowing for flexibility, should there be there a drastic federal or state cut in school funding. Meanwhile, our teachers have worked with administrators to put together this year’s new teacher evaluation system. During the same period, teachers have been innovating and revamping their own curriculums.

Other positives? The district maintains a 10 percent normal annual attrition rate for teachers that is actually lower than other local school districts and, recently, the Sunshine Review gave the Douglas County School District an A- transparency rating. Additionally, our district will have a school marshal plan in place next fall to make our children safer at school. The day of the “school factory” is ending. To compete globally, the premise of education needs to shift. Douglas County is heading in a good direction by moving toward a world-class education that is personalized to fit each child’s needs. Our board of education has set a good course. Charcie Russell Castle Rock
School board not handling change well
During the past few years, I have rarely agreed with actions of the Douglas County School Board. However, considering the widely held belief that school reform is necessary and considering the lack of true reform that is actually occurring throughout the country, raises based on evaluation results and market-based salary criteria is an idea worth exploring. Unfortunately, even if the district were sure that such reform will at some point benefit students, the board of education and upper administration have created such a climate of distrust that any changes affecting the teaching staff even slightly will be looked upon with suspicion and doubt. Organizational change can best occur when considerable and ongoing efforts are made to include affected personnel long before a decision is made and to gain the support of those personnel. This has not occurred in the Douglas County schools, wherein the importance and development of a trusting environment continues to be disregarded. Bill Patterson Highlands Ranch
Union isn’t behind anger about ‘reform’
According to Dougco School Board Director Doug Benevento, the Douglas County School District debate is about the union versus parents, teachers and students. This is a bold-faced lie. The debate in Douglas County is about our parents, teachers and students versus outside reform-minded influences on our public schools — just follow the money trail. These are the facts. The main voices fighting for our public schools are parentand community-driven and have no union ties. Strong Schools Coalition — no union influence. Taxpayers for Public Education — no union influence. Douglas County Parents — no union influence. Voices for Public Education — no union influence. Facebook’s SPEAK — no union influence. Facebook’s Involved Douglas County Teachers and Citizens — no union influence. We are parents, teachers, community members and students wanting our public schools back. These are the facts! Here is one example of how our current school board and administration have been bought by money from outside our district. Benevento and Meghann Silverthorn received a total of $20,000 in campaign contributions from Alex Cranberg and Ralph Nagel, of the Alliance for School Choice. Neither Cranberg nor Nagel is a resident of Douglas County. Silverthorn even received $5,000 from former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan. Another outside source, The Daniels Fund, has given the Douglas County school district $150,000 to create commercials orkian.” There were days, when nothing on her worked, that I wish I could have. “Bless your hearts, thank you, thank you,” Constance said to the officers. “We are such stuff as dreams are made on.” — The Tempest, Act 4, scene 1.

promoting this reform agenda. Benevento can give no specifics to his lies around union influence. These outside influences are hurting our community’s voice in our schools. Stefanie Fuhr Highlands Ranch
Thank you, Randy Reed
Regarding Randy Reed’s guest column in the June 27 edition: Thanks for the enlightening trip into the minds of those supposedly in control of Douglas County Schools. You are a part of what’s going on there, you sense it isn’t working, and recognize it is beginning to fail. You see a chance to sound the alarm and become a hero. You follow your political instincts, find someone else to blame. You launch a particularly bitter denunciation of the district’s teacher union. Problem is, Mr. Reed, that the community knows that your villain has already been defanged and declawed. All our teachers have left is their voice. Maybe you could get a mass gag order to completely silence them like you wish. The villain is not the union, Mr. Reed, it is you and everyone else involved in yielding control of our school district to the NRP. This is the big truth that you try to obscure. Bill Downum Highlands Ranch
Teachers make schools excellent
In response to Randy Reed’s guest column, “Bogus claims can’t hide school excellence,” if “Douglas County is one of the best school districts in America,” then why are only 14 percent of its teachers considered highly effective? The truth is that the teachers, not the school board, are responsible for the excellence in DCSD and always have been. Many teachers are not concerned about the union. But the new evaluation system is demoralizing and does not measure the impact teachers have in the classroom. If it did, it would be based on what actually goes on in the classroom — not paperwork. We need to get back to the days when every move made in schools was based on
the question “Is that what’s best for kids?” Deborah Seaquist Highlands Ranch
Big money is real ‘outside influence’
Randy Reed’s guest column is desperate to make people believe that the fight against the reforms in the Douglas County School District is driven by the union. He asks, “Do Douglas County Schools belong to us, or to liberal special-interest groups like the ACLU and the AFL-CIO?” That is an interesting question. Who does this school district belong to? Does it belong to the parents, students and teachers in Douglas County, or does it belong to outside interests with deep pockets? The outside interests I refer to are not the AFL-CIO or the ACLU. They are outside interests like Alex Cranberg and Ralph Nagel, of the Alliance for School Choice, who donated more than $20,000 to Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorn’s campaigns in 2009. Neither Cranberg nor Nagel is a resident of Douglas County. Alex Cranberg also donated $50,000 to the District’s legal fund for the voucher lawsuit. Additional donations have come from The Daniels Fund, in excess of $500,000, and the Walton Family Foundation at $300,000. The Daniels Fund has given the Douglas County school district $150,000 to create commercials promoting this school board and their reforms. Who is being influenced by outside interests? Does this school district belong to the Alliance for School Choice, The Daniels Fund and the Walton Family Foundation? Or does it belong to the parents, students and teachers who want a say in what is best for our kids and their education? I am a parent. I am not a union member, union representative or union operative. The union has nothing to do with my concern for the direction of the district. My concern has everything to do with my children, their education and the interests outside of Douglas County that are trying to influence it. Amy DeValk Highlands Ranch Letters continues on Page 10

Claims backlog for veterans inexcusable The Department of Veterans Affairs needs a watchdog. This is the single most important thing I have learned since joining the House Veterans Affairs Committee in January. The Committee must stay vigilant because, if not, the VA will not perform up to the level the Congress expects and veterans deserve. As the chairman of the Oversight and Investigation Subcommittee, I have been shocked at the level of bureaucratic incompetence the VA has shown in their ability to reduce the disability claims backlog. Although their reported goal is to have average wait times of 125 days per claim by 2015, the current reality is that many veterans wait an average of 270-plus days before their claim is processed. I have little hope that this department will reach its 2015 goal of reducing the average wait time to 125 days because the VA has not laid out intermediate metrics between now and 2015 that show how it will reach its goals. A recent Government Accountability Office report, in response to the VA’s 2015 goal, concluded that “this plan lacks any metrics or deadlines to ensure these goals are met.” In a May letter to the president, I, along with over 160 members of the House, expressed our dismay with the lack of progress in the backlog. We wrote, “This country must be grateful for the safe homecoming of every single man and woman who has served in harm’s way. Our joy in their return must be reflected in our commitment to
Castle Rock
helping all who have served.” I lay the responsibility of the likely failure of the VA’s backlog plan at the feet of Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki. Although Congress has allocated a huge 40 percent increase in the VA’s budget at a time when other agency budgets are being slashed, the backlog is growing rather than shrinking. The VA lacks effective leadership, not inadequate resources. The secretary must be more forceful in shaking up the status quo. The issues with the claims backlog, as with Gulf War illness research, hospital construction and cyber security, are not funding-related; rather it is a cultural problem within the department that must be fixed. I know firsthand that the VA does not answer my inquiries in a timely manner and too often I hear from veteran service organizations and individual veterans that the VA is not responsive to their questions as well. Often times, my Oversight hearings become embattled stalemates between my subcommittee and representatives from
Highlands Ranch
the VA until witnesses are forced to answer questions from members. Unfortunately, the answers usually confirm my pre-existing belief that the VA has acted wrongly either intentionally or incompetently. Either way, a disappointing pattern has emerged that we must change. For this reason, I have supported strong actions like suspending bonuses for VA employees, and I have joined Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California in legislation that would create a commission to implement recommendations from the Government Accountability Office that will help reduce the claims processing time. Further, I have instituted a post-traumatic stress working group with Sen. Mark Udall to look for ways the VA can help treat veterans with PTSD and whether the VA can alter its claims process to better fit the needs of these disability claims. It is our absolute moral duty to help the VA overcome its problems so it can finally make progress against the disability claims backlog. As a Marine Corps combat veteran myself, I have a personal stake in the success of the VA and I will continue to press them to improve so our veterans are getting the care and service they have earned. Mike Coffman is the U.S. Representative for Colorado’s 6th District. He is a Marine Corps combat veteran and has a combined 21 years of military experience between the Army, the Army Reserve, the Marine Corps and the Marine Corps Reserve.

Promotion of personal agendas shows need for new school leadership
Regarding Randy Reed’s guest column in the June 27-28 editions: The big truth, Randy Reed, is that I am “red-in-the-face mad at the Dougco School Board and Administration.” I am a PARENT of Douglas County students. I am NOT the AFL-CIO, ACLU, nor any other union. The recent evaluation fiasco clearly demonstrates this leadership’s irresponsible actions. Rather than using its incomplete evaluation program as a pilot this year (as many school districts have done), Dougco leadership recklessly implemented an ill-conceived evaluation program a year before required by statute and tied all employee salaries to it before proving it to be valid or reliable. All done in an effort to pad resumes and make a name for themselves as the “national leader in public school innovation.” The big truth is that the audacious disregard of what is best for students in order to promote adults’ personal agendas is wreaking havoc in our public schools and makes this parent even more determined to get new leadership in the Douglas County School District.

Missing dogs raise care issue
Douglas County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to Tammy Lane in Parker on June 23 and spoke with a homeowner who had just returned from a three-day trip to Texas. The homeowner had left two dogs, a 65-pound German shepherd mix named Emily, and a 130-pound black lab named Jules, in their fenced yard with food, water and shelter, and returned home to find them missing. The homeowner was under the impression the dogs had been stolen, as she said: “They do not run away and had no way to get out of the yard.” On June 24, the case was closed as a neighbor who had found the dogs running free, and taken them in, made contact with the homeowner and returned them. “We suggest that people either kennel their dogs or have a friend or loved one look after them and take care of them if they are going to be away,” said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, spokesman for the sheriff’s office. “Especially with the hot temperatures, dogs that are left outside should not be left unattended. They don’t have the ability to monitor their own body temperature in the heat and aren’t always going to go to the shade even if it is there.” Temperatures reached 93 degrees in Parker during that three-day span.
Vehicle break-ins continue
There were numerous reports of vehicles being broken into throughout Douglas County between the dates of June 21 and 28. Items stolen consisted of iPads, iPods, navigators, purses, wallets, gym bags, CDs, credit cards and a garage door opener. The reports included a vehicle parked outside in the 10200 block of Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree on June 21; four vehicles in the 9600 block of Timberhawk Circle in Highlands Ranch, overnight on June 24-25; a vehicle parked in an open garage in the 10600 block of Ashfield Street

Repella said. “It says that businesses that are already here are doing well enough to start giving people salary increases. It is also attributable to the type of businesses that have been choosing to come here. We have a lot of corporations and headquarters coming here, which brings in higher salaries.” Repella views the way in which the county altered how it did business once Repella the recession hit as a driving factor in why the county is doing so well today. “Four years ago, we knew we were facing a very, very different time in the history of Douglas County,” she said. “We had to change how we interacted with the business community and really create a very business-friendly culture.” The result, she said, has created an “upward spiral” that has continuously helped

CenturyLink case destroyed
After receiving several calls for no service in the southern portion of Douglas County, CenturyLink employees discovered that a repeater case on Jackson Creek Road, five miles south of Perry Park, had been “shot up” sometime during the day June 28. The case, which held several circuits controlling cable, Internet, T-1 service and data service, was completely destroyed. It appeared the case, valued at $6,000, was shot by a small caliber firearm.
Coyote Creek windows broken
Deputies responded to Coyote Creek Elementary School in Highlands Ranch on June 25 to a report that for the third time in the month of June, some of the windows at the school had been broken by large rocks. Nothing has been taken from the school, there were no signs of unlawful entry and there are no suspects at this time.
American flag stolen
“Old Glory” was stolen from a house on the 9400 block of Morning Glory Lane in Highlands Ranch sometime between 11:30 a.m. and 8:45 p.m. June 25. There are no suspects and neighbors did not see anyone suspicious near the property.
land large corporations such as Visa USA Inc., Redwood Trust and Charles Schwab, all of which don’t even factor into the recent data as they are still on the way in. “So much of it is about the attitude,” Repella said. “When there is a government jurisdiction that is difficult to work with, businesses tell each other, word gets out, and that jurisdiction gets a bad reputation. “When you have a government jurisdiction that is great to work with, they share that with each other as well, and that positive reputation pays off. It is rare, from what all these businesses tell me; it is shocking that it’s rare, but it is rare.” Whether it is speeding up the permit process or simply listening to the needs and desires of prospective companies, Repella said the county is doing everything it can to bring business in and keep that probusiness momentum going. “We are in a very healthy position,” she said. “But what really matters to me is that people can provide for their families. That’s what all this data means. You can look at all the numbers and you can beat yourself in the chest, but knowing that people are doing well, that’s really what matters in the end.”

REAL ESTATE CAREERS MARKETPLACE SERVICE DIRECTORY
Rightsizing your next home O
ne of today’s real estate trends is appropriately named “rightsizing.” This happens when an existing home owner wants to rightsize their housing needs in terms of space, upkeep and mortgage costs. Typically, Empty Nesters or buyers in retirement are looking to rightsize, but this trend applies to anyone looking to buy their next home.One of the ways current students or even recent graduates can make themselves more attractive to prospective employers is to find the right internship. Internships are not always easy to get, and many of them don’t pay. But students who find the right internship often look back and recognize that their internship was their first step toward a rewarding career, and a step that provided valuable insight into their chosen field. To find the right internship, consider the following tips. Whether you are interested in living in a traditional neighborhood or a master-planned community full of amenities, with these simple steps you will be able to find the rightsized home to fit your needs. SPACE For the first time in many years, smaller homes have become much more dominant in the marketplace. For many, the right fitting home is smaller than ever before. The assump-
tion is that only Empty Nesters or retired adults would welcome less space, but today’s families are discovering the appeal of smaller homes. Less space means less to maintain inside and out, providing more time to enjoy the home and less time cleaning. Smaller homes also can help to rightsize costs, from the energy bill to the mortgage, which is always an attractive feature. Looking at the bigger picture, a smaller home carries a reduced carbon footprint and adds to the environmental appeal of such a decision. UPKEEP For some, the most important home amenity is maintenance or the lack thereof. A home within a masterplanned community, for example, appeals to those who have reached a point in their lives where they want to spend less time taking care of a home and more time enjoying their home. Generally designed to provide lowmaintenance properties, these communities allow for a lock-and-leave lifestyle, meaning if the homeowner wants to leave for a long weekend or an extended holiday, they simply lock their home and leave without needing to arrange to have the grass cut and watered, or snow shoveled from the sidewalk. Even if they aren’t traveling, these homeowners can also enjoy
being at home and not having those tasks on their to-do list, ever thanks to the maintenance provided by the Home Owner’s Association (HOA). COST When looking for a home, cost is oftentimes the leading factor in any search. Cost varies greatly depending on the age and size of a home, the surrounding community and a number of other factors that figure into the value of a home. When looking for your next home, make sure to consider what matters most to you – style of home, amenities, walkability, etc. – knowing the rightsize cost will affect which elements are possible. One way to rightsize your cost, yet still afford many of the community features you want, is to look in a neighborhood or master-planned community that offers multiple housing types. When a mixture of housing types is available – single-family, patio home or other style – it is much more reasonable to expect to find the rightsized mortgage to fit your financial needs. And, when you bring together home styles that appeal to everyone from young professionals and growing families, to Empty Nesters and active adults, a vibrant community is the result. As you head out to find your next home, don’t think of it as fitting in
with the Jones’, but rightsizing with your needs. After all, the Jones’ won’t be living there, so you shouldn’t buy a home with their needs in mind. ■

County gets land to complete trail system Local sections of long route coming together By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Ten years after the vision of a multi-purpose trail from Wyoming to New Mexico was put into action, Douglas County has now acquired all the necessary land to piece together an unbroken trail corridor linking Arapahoe and El Paso counties. With the recent acquisitions of the 26-acre Martinez property east of the Tomah Road exit — just north of Larkspur — off Interstate 25, as well as the Iron Horse Open Space to the north, the county now owns all the necessary land to link the Cherry Creek Trail at the Arapahoe border to the Greenland Open Space Trail to the south. The Colorado Front Range Trail, which could
someday connect 15 cities, 14 counties and many smaller towns and communities, expects to span 876 miles once it is complete. Spearheaded by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the project has over 500 stakeholders, including federal agencies and communities along the trail, working together to complete the vision. “Douglas County actually has a fairly large chunk of it already developed,” said Cheryl Matthews, Douglas County open space director. “We still have to get from Columbine Open Space, which is about six miles south of Castle Rock, into Castle Rock someday in the future, but in the meantime, we now have that final link to get from Columbine to the El Paso County line.” The Greenland Open Space Trail on the south end of the county already connects to the New Santa Fe Trail, which runs south through El Paso County, 43 miles down to Fountain. Once Douglas County de-
With the acquisition of the 26-acre Martinez property off of Tomah Road north of Larkspur, Douglas County now owns all the land along the Colorado Front Range Trail from Columbine Open Space south to the El Paso County Line.

from the Greenland trail to the Plum Creek, Castle Oaks and Cherry Creek trails. There is still one other plot the county hopes to obtain that will allow it con-
nect the Plum Creek Trail going west to the High Line Canal, Platte Canyon and Chatfield trails, and connecting to the 470 Trail, which will give hikers and
bikers the option of going east or west on the Colorado Front Range Trail while inside Douglas County. For now, Matthews said, there is excitement in having that spine in place to run the trail through the county. As far as how quickly the necessary links get developed, she says a master plan process will begin this summer and the hope is that some of the trail work will begin in 2014. “It is going to depend a lot on funding,” she said, adding that the county will apply for grant funding. “We could do it all in one year if we get enough money.” The Douglas County commissioners approved the $675,000 purchase of the Martinez Property June 23, which includes the 26 acres of land, a 3,834-square-foot home that could be used for a variety of purposes, a 560-square-foot equipment building and 27 acre-feet of adjudicated water rights for the portion of East Plum Creek that runs through the property.

Rotary Club changes leadership Service, socialization at center of mission By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Joyce Volp has been a Rotarian for only three years, but she has been involved with the organization for 30 years at an arm’s reach as the spouse of John Volp, who served as president of the Highlands Ranch club two years ago. Volunteerism and leadership are nothing new for Joyce, who just began her oneyear term at the helm of the club, taking over for outgoing president Doug Doig. She has served as president of the Lakewood Jaycettes, the Littleton Kiwanis Foundation and the Littleton Business Association, and was also chair of the Littleton Fine Arts Board and the South Suburban Parks and Recreation Public Art Committee. “The most important thing Rotary does is to give members the opportunity to give back to the community,” she said. “Through our many activities, Rotary builds goodwill
and better friendships. I hope to spread the word that helping your community can be both rewarding and fun.” The latest Volp to lead the local Rotarians hopes to pick up where Doig left off in continuing to attract Volp younger members and increase the club’s membership base. With just shy of 60 members, the club is involved in roughly 30 community service projects at the local and international level. The club has a huge focus on youth programs and in reDoig cent years has expanded its reach to multiple veteran programs such as Forgotten Heroes, Homes for Our Troops and the Wounded Warrior Project. Volp said she hopes to initiate a program to help seniors in the community and continue to expand the work the club does with
the Douglas/Elbert Task Force. “I hope to educate and inform our members about what is going on in the community and how we can help,” she said. The club also has its share of fun, though, and Doig said that is one thing that separates it from a lot of other service organizations. From annual trips to see the Nuggets, Avalanche, Rockies and Air Force football to golf tournaments, happy hour get-togethers, and even the occasional cruise, Doig said members really enjoy each other’s company and having fun together. It’s that sense of camaraderie that likely has led to the club being so successful. Under Doig’s leadership this past year, the club raised a record $55,000 at its annual gala. “One hundred percent of all the funds we raise go directly back into the local community or the worldwide community,” John Volp said. “We don’t have any operating expenses, as our club operates on a dues basis. The fundraising all goes to charitable organizations and endeavors.”
ROTARY YOUTH INVOLVEMENT The Highlands Ranch Rotary has five programs designed for the younger generations. • Rotary Youth Exchange — Working with students from abroad and American students who wish to study abroad. • Interact — Sponsoring local and middle school clubs to teach the importance of ethics and community service. • Dictionary Project — Providing local third-graders with dictionaries to improve literacy rates in the community. • Scholarships — The club recognizes area students nominated by teachers from the five local high schools, awarding one each year with a college scholarship. This year’s winner was Amy Chen of Highlands Ranch High School, who received $3,000. • Rotaract — Geared to young adults between the ages of 25-35, the club provides a great networking opportunity for young professionals who want to make a difference. For more information about Highlands Ranch Rotary, please contact Joyce Volp at 303-795-5305 or joycevolp@hotmail.com.

Who wants to try out for ‘Millionaire’? Men hoist some of the 100 poles required to support the big top tent for Cirque du Soleil’s newest production, “Amaluna.” Workers raised the tent July 2 on the Pepsi Center grounds as media and others looked on. The tent will seat 2,600 people and requires 550 pegs to hold it firmly in the ground.

With room for 2,600 people, the Cirque du Soleil big top takes shape on the grounds of the Pepsi Center in downtown Denver. The colorful tent will be the home to the Canadian entertainment company’s newest production, “Amaluna,” July 18 to Aug. 25. The production travels with 65 trailers carrying more than 2,000 tons of equipment.
Cirque du Soleil returns to Denver with its newest production, “Amaluna.” The first visible signs of the popular Canadian entertainment group’s arrival came July 2 as more than 60 men and women worked to erect the familiar blue and yellow big top on the Pepsi Center grounds. Traveling with 65 trailers carrying more than 2,000 tons of equipment, workers will spend eight days assembling the colorful big top, the entrance, box office, additional rehearsal tents, administrative offices and a kitchen. Once complete, the big top will seat 2,600 people for the show, which opens July 18 and runs through Aug. 25.
‘Minimum Wage’ pays off for audience A cappella musical comedy on stage at Avenue Theater
if you Go “Minimum Wage” plays through Aug. 3. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at the Avenue Theater, 417 E. 17th Ave., Denver. Tickets: $26. (For an additional $7.38, you can buy a ticket from the theater for a deluxe burger and fries at Park and Company, a few doors east.) 303-321-5925, avenuetheater.com.

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com When “Minimum Wage “ played Off-Broadway in 2007, Denver-based co-writers/ brothers Jeff and Charlie La Greca were in the cast of this kooky and wonderful a cappella musical comedy. (Sean Altman co-wrote the songs). One has to see this one to believe it! The actors don’t need a band — they supply their own music with their voices as they carry the audience at Denver’s Avenue Theater through training sessions at Happy Hamburger University, where “Minimum Wage” is what they’ll earn. Under the sure hand of director Nick Sugar, Michael Bouchard (Hux), Keegan C. Flaugh (Titus), Damon Guerasio (Orwell), Abby McInerney (Piercy) and Carter Edward Smith (Bradbury) sing rocking a cappella music almost
Damon Guerrasio, Keegan C. Flaugh, Abby McInerney, Carter Edward Smith and Michael Bouchard perform in the a cappella musical, “Minimum Wage” at the Avenue Theater. Courtesy photo non-stop for 90 minutes. There are a few minutes out to watch grainy, bad training videos and announcements from the company headquarters and a few more for bits of goony action. Numbers of new shops keep being announced. References to another major hamburger chain are continual and clever.
Music director Mark Middlebrooks, a teacher and performer familiar to fans at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center, has, in conjunction with Sugar’s good-humored direction and choreography, delivered an alltogether chorus of singers, each with a different role in the a cappella format and each indi-
vidually outstanding. Strong harmonies, beatboxing and fine comic timing prevail. Happy Hamburger University training includes segments on fryers, grills and spatulas, dangers and the theme song about what they’ll earn as they work their way toward the middle — “Minimum Wa-yay-age.” Different songs offer each performer a chance to shine. Keegan C. Flaugh, the booming bass, is the hypochondriac chain clown, Kooky, and Abby McInerney “Shakes her Booty With Danger.” Damon Guerasio’s take on “G-R-I-Double-L” is a showstopper in this most entertaining evening — it’s not to be missed.
Who wants to be a millionaire? Now, you can be, as the syndicated game show will audition Denverites on July 12 at the Seawell Ballroom at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” auditions will include a timed multiple choice test and, for those people who pass, an interview with one of the show’s producers. Auditioners will be seen on a firstcome, first-served basis and producers will audition as many people as they can. Participants must be at least 18 years of age, a U.S. resident and meet all eligibility requirements. Rules and times can be found on “Millionaire’s” website at www. millionairetv.com. A new season of “Millionaire” will debut at 2 p.m. Sept. 2 on KMGH-Channel 7 with new host Cedric the Entertainer.
AvidGolfer reaches 100
Colorado AvidGolfer is celebrating a 100th milestone. Not that the local magazine is becoming a centenarian — it still has a few years to go before hitting that drive — rather CAG is publishing its 100th issue with the July edition, on newsstands and online (www. coloradoavidgolfer.com) this week. Editor Jon Rizzi realized a couple of months ago that the magazine was approaching its 100th edition. “It’s been a really great run so far,” he said. To celebrate CAG No. 100, the pages pay homage to past covers along with its current cover guy Billy Casper, whose company recently took over management of The Golf Club at Ravenna in Douglas County’s Waterton Canyon area. Other big names whose mugs have graced the coveted CAG cover include: Todd Helton (first cover), John Elway (twice), Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, Jill McGill, Amelia Earhart (last month), Amy Van Dyken, John Lynch, Terrell Davis, Don Cheadle, Kevin Costner, David Duval, Tom Weiskopf and on and on. But Rizzi doesn’t let the fairway grass grow under his feet. He’s set his sights on Broncos QB Peyton Manning for a future cover. “He’s only been here for a year, so we’re still working on that,” Rizzi said.
Bubbles and bites for charity
The American Wine Society Denver Chapter invites you to celebrate summer wines with bubbles and bites, beginning at 6 p.m. July 24 at The Washington Park Boathouse (Exposition Avenue between Downing and Franklin). The effervescent event benefits Sense of Security, an organization that helps to ensure that breast cancer patients receive the financial assistance they need while undergoing treatment. Your participation in this event helps to add to patients’ quality of life during this difficult time (check it out at www.senseofsecurity.org). Sense of Security is my pet charity, and I’ve been fortunate to help raise thousands of dollars for this worthy nonprofit for several years.

By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com Marie Conway began sewing early — creating ensembles for her self and her two sisters. She graduated from Cathedral High School in Denver. She married David Conway and they lived in Littleton, where they raised seven children: David (deceased), Daniel, Martin, John, Stephen, Paul and Jenise. They celebrated their 62nd anniversary before she passed away in July 2012. For a time in the 1960s, she had a dressmaking business on Littleton’s Main Street, called Marie’s, where she designed and sewed ensembles and costumes for customers. When she retired from that business, she turned to her real love — quilting — and created many innovative wall hangings as well as functional quilts and in later years, smaller quilted pieces, such as totes and lap quilts. “A Quilter’s Craft: Marie Agnes Conway Retrospective” is on exhibit at the Littleton Museum July 12 to March 16, 2013. Her daughter, Jenise Conway, said there are about 50-60 works
Getting around
Quilter Marie Agnes Conway, who raised seven children in Littleton, created many art quilts that are exhibited at the Littleton Museum. Courtesy photo in the show. While Conway used some traditional block patterns, usually her quilts were of her own design, each unique. She enjoyed the textures of fabrics as they passed between her fingers The City of Littleton owns two Conway quilts in its art collection: “David’s Hometown” was designed and made for Littleton’s Centennial and dedicated to her oldest son as a memorial. It shows various recognizable
scenes around town and has been displayed at the Littleton Center at times. She worked on it from 1985 to 1989, finishing in time for Littleton’s 1990 Centennial celebration. There is also a mauve shantung silk spider quilt, her first art quilt, created in 1983 and purchased by the Littleton Fine Arts Board for the city collection. She made several quilts of silk, but most are crafted from cotton fabrics, Jenise said. “Flora” is an example of her original designs — a rosebud with little ladybugs and ants. Some pieces are a collaboration — with Jenise or, in the case of a pillow, with her granddaughter for a 4-H project. Her quilts were exhibited in several local shows: the Littleton Fine Art Board’s “Own an Original”; the Littleton Fine Arts Guild Depot Art Center’s “Great Frame Up” show; and the annual Western Welcome Week Arts and Crafts show.
“17 Border Crossings” brings artist Thaddeus Phillips back to Denver for a three-week run of his latest production, a stage voyage to Bosnia, Morocco, Cuba, Brazil, Serbia, Colombia, Bali, Holland, Czech Republic, Israel, Croatia, Jordan and Mexico.

Coaches and players met with the media July 2, and almost everyone delivered the same message that anything can happen in match play. “In match play, anything can happen,” said assistant captain Annika Sorenstam. “Some players feel they are representing their country and continent. They just soak it up and find another gear they might not find in other tournaments. “It’s a putt here, it’s a shot here, it’s a match turned around.” The Solheim Cup has a unique match play format. Players will play fourball, in which each player plays their own ball throughout the round. Each hole is won by the two-women team whose player had the lowest score on the hole and the team is awarded a point. If the teams tie, a half-point is given to each team. Foursomes pit two-player teams and the golfers hit alternate shots. A point is awarded each hole to the team with the lowest score. In the 12 singles matches, all 24 players square off and golfers gain points or halves for each hole. There will be 28 matches played over the three days of the
tournament. Four foursomes matches will be held Aug. 16 starting at 7:30 a.m., with four fourball matches set to begin at 1 p.m. On Aug. 17, foursome and fourball matches are scheduled for the same times. The 12 singles matches begin at 12:30 p.m. Aug. 18. There are 28 points up for grabs in the team standings over the three days, with a point awarded for each match won and half point garnered for each match that is tied. Europe needs 14 points to retain the cup, which it won in 2011 in Meath, Ireland. The Americans would need 14.5 points to earn theirs seventh straight victory on U.S. soil. Many purists argue that match play is boring because when a team or individual gets a commanding lead, their play tends to be cautious and conservative. However, the format often leads to more aggressive play, especially since each hole is a separate competition. “It’s (Colorado Golf Club) a great course for match play, especially the back nine from 14 on could be fun holes,” said European captain Liselotte Neumann. “A lot of things could happen on those holes, there are short par 4s and par 5s that you can get on in two shots. “There are some great holes, especially when it comes to playing maybe the best ball matches. You have 16 when someone might want to go for it. In match play, you can have someone be more aggressive.” Carlota Ciganda, a former Arizona State golfer from Pamplona, Spain, who turned pro two years ago, played on two European Junior Solheim Cup teams and enjoys match play. “The whole format is fun, being a team member,” said Cigan-
LPGA legend Annika Sorenstam, right, high-fives Dewi Claire Schreefel during a chipping contest at the Colorado Golf Club. Sorenstam is cocaptain of the Solheim Cup’s European Team.

It’s going to be fun.” Neumann, Sorenstam and assistant captain Carin Koch will have the difficult task of matching partners for the fourball and four-
somes matches. “It’s about finding the right partners you are playing with,” said Sorenstam. “There are times you play with players and you try so hard but it always doesn’t fit. “I can mention Suzann Pettersen. She’s a top player as an individual. She’s now No. 3 in the
world. In the Solheim Cup she really rises to the top and she’s had some opportunities to make some winning putts. She was my partner a few times and together she elevated my game and I elevated her game. That the challenge of the captains, to find the right combinations.”
Sled hockey player has eye on goal Grandchamp invited to select camp in East By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Pierce Grandchamp has a tattoo of the Stanley Cup on his forearm. For the 19-year-old from Highlands Ranch who has spina bifida, the tattoo serves as a reminder to keep working hard to accomplish his goals. “It is something that means something,” said Grandchamp, who has been invited to the 2013 USA Sled Hockey Select camp, held July 13-18 at Northtown Center at Amherst in Buffalo, N.Y. The five-day select camp provides a week of training to develop players. Then tryouts for the U.S. National Sled Hockey team will be held July 19-20. Players who do not make the national team could be selected to play on the USA developmental team. Players invited to the select camp are between the ages of 13-20, plus older players who have been competing for three years or less. “I’m looking forward to this,” said Grandchamp. “I want to eventually make the national team or the developmental team. I want to win a gold medal. “I used to be into ski racing, but hockey took over. The developmental team will go to training camp with the national team, travel and play in some tournaments. The national team goes to different countries and the world championships. They won a
Pierce Grandchamp practices last year at The Ice Ranch. File photo silver medal last year.” Sled hockey is played like traditional hockey. Players compete on specially designed sleds that rest on skate blades. The play-
ers use two short sticks with blades on one end to play the puck and metal picks on the other end to propel themselves. “The most difficult thing was learning to use your non-dominant hand,” said Grand-
champ, who plays for the Colorado Avalanche team in the Midwest Sled Hockey League. Grandchamp is one of five Coloradans invited to the select camp. The others are Sev Engelbert from Milliken, Chandler Couture from Roxborough, Vlad Lundquist from Colorado Springs and Latseen Benson from Elizabeth. Tyler Carron and Nikko Landeros, the former Berthoud wrestlers who lost their legs when hit by a car while changing a tire, made the American Sled Hockey team last year. Bruce Grandchamp, Pierce’s father, is president of Colorado Sled Hockey Association. “The two guys we have on the national team, Tyler and Nikko, are pretty much locks to make the national team again,” said Bruce Grandchamp. “Vlad was on the developmental team last year and Chandler was on it the year before. We have a real good shot at getting a couple players on the developmental team. “All the guys are close in ability. Vlad has probably the best chance since he was on the team last year. It’s highly competitive in a team sport. There are not a lot of those opportunities out there.” And what about Pierce? “His hockey IQ is probably better than anybody’s,” his dad said. “He is not quite fast enough, so it’s hard to say. I think he should be on the team because of his leadership and how he sees the game but they tend to go with straight speed with the players they pick.”

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Opinions might differ on which team will bring home the coveted Solheim Cup, but there is no disagreement about the venue chosen as the battleground. The Colorado Golf Club’s championship course, a private, 7,604-yard gantlet of inviting fairways and tricky greens, sits on a rolling, elevated plain on Parker’s east side. Just southeast of South Parker and Stroh roads, it greets players with striking views of the Rocky Mountains and occasional visits from resident deer. One month out from the Solheim Cup, a trans-Atlantic brawl between the top 12 women’s golfers from the U.S. and the top 12 from Europe, the course is in pristine condition. Many of the players — those already on the team and some on the cusp — have squeezed in a few practice rounds to get a lay of the land. They now realize the formidable task of finishing strong in the match-play competition. “They couldn’t have picked a better course as far as the volatility in the last four holes with two par fives that are potentially reachable and a par three,” said Dottie Pepper, Ladies Professional Golf Association legend and assistant captain of the U.S. team, during a visit to Parker in February. “Liter-

She was among the NBC Sports commentators covering the 2010 Senior PGA Championship, which came down to the wire and had Tom Lehman hoisting the trophy at the end of the weekend. During a visit to the Colorado Golf Club July 1-2, European team captain Liselotte Neumann said the course is perfect for match play. She commented on the challenging final stretch and is hopeful that, with the right conditions,
down to the last few holes?” Neumann said the entire course is “generous off the tees,” but the undulating greens vary greatly in size. She said a handful of players were staying in Parker a few extra days to get a feel for how the elevation might affect club distances, how the greens are rolling and what strategic bounces might come into play. Experience at the host venue will help the team members build confidence in their ability to play well there, she said. The U.S. team will arrive early and practice on Aug. 12, the Mon-

some late par fives will be reachable in two shots. When asked how she might prepare the team for a potential high-pressure finish, Neumann said if some of the women are unable to play a full 18, she will instruct them to concentrate on the back nine “so they can feel like they know the last couple of holes better than some of the others.” To which European team assistant captain Annika Sorenstam interjected, to laughter: “How about getting the players to show up early so they don’t have to go
day of the tournament week, Pepper said. “Whatever groundwork hasn’t been finished will be ready by then,” she said. As always, the tournament is likely to come down to one or two shots, and Solheim Cup Tournament director Becky Newell said she expects that the final holes will make for a good finish. Because of the nature of the tournament, every shot counts and being prepared is a must. “In match play, anything can happen. It’s a putt here and a shot here, it’s a match turning around, it’s just kind of a sequence,” Sorenstam said. The European team has never won on U.S. soil, but the players are coming in with loads of confidence, having secured a convincing victory at the 2011 Solheim Cup in Ireland. Sorenstam says Team Europe has its “hands on the trophy as of now” and isn’t ready to let it go.
U.S. Senior Open player has troublesome back By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com
Hitting drives off the tee, trying to reach the green with a fairway wood and constantly bending over to mark your ball on Ava-the green or grab the ball out of the cup can ckeylead to back pain for golfers. Bill Loeffler, a Castle Rock resident, is dealing with chronic back problems as he dans prepares to play in the U.S. Senior Open, Mil-which starts July 11 at Nebraska’s Omaha ough,Country Club. and Loeffler, 56, earned a position in the U.S. Senior Open field when he carded a one, theover-par 72 during a qualifying tournament theirJune 17 on the West Course at The Broada tire,moor in Colorado Springs. m last He participated in the PGA Professional National Championships at Oregon’s Suner, isriver Resort during the last week of June ocia-when his back problems flared up. “My back gave out in Oregon and I’m just now recovering,” said Loeffler. “I’m hoping ional muchthat I can be at least close to 100 percent ain,”health-wise for the Open. The heat should n thehelp, I hope. I really struggled in Oregon. I han-had a sinus infection and my back went out. a realI felt like I was 10,000 years old. n the “It’s a chronic deal and it seems to be good for a while and then decides to turn d hasthe other way. I’m just hopeful than I don’t as ondo anything stupid with it over the next few ve indays. When you have a disc pressing on a e op-nerve, your leg goes numb sometimes.” Loeffler is anxious to see if his back will bother him and let him play well, since he thanwill be competing against such well-known quitegolfers as Fred Couples, Joey Sindelar, Hale k heIrwin, Tom Lehman and Bernhard Langer, ead-to name a few. they “It’s an issue but it is certainly not an explay-cuse because these guys are all seniors,” he continued. “Everyone has issues. It’s something you deal with and go forward and still
play the best you can. “The doctor said it’s not going to get any worse if I play. If I can stand the bending and twisting, then I can practice. And I’ve been practicing a little bit and got some tips from one of the local pros who has been helping me a little bit. I’m optimistic that I will be OK and do well. You just kind of have to do it and put the pain aside and say you’re here and a lot of people wish they were here, and just have fun and try to play good.” Loeffler, president of Fairways and Greens Inc., which owns The Links Golf Course in Highlands Ranch, will be playing for the first time in the U.S. Senior Open, but he knows what it’s like to play in premier tournaments. He won the 2007 senior PGA Professional National Championship, the 1992 PGA Assistant Professional Championship, the 1986 U.S. Mid-Amateur title and was a member of the 1987 U.S. Walker Cup team. Loeffler, a member of the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame, is a three-time Colorado Open champ and the 2009 Colorado Open Senior titlist. He has won several Colorado Golf Association tournaments. “My preparation is not anything different than a state open or anything like that,” admitted Loeffler. “It (U.S. Senior Open) is a big-time event with the best players in the world. Freddie Couples and all those guys will be there. So it’s fun to get to play against that caliber of player and play on courses that are usually just immaculate. “I don’t really set any goals. I don’t play in a lot of tournaments so I’m kind of just going there and feeling my way around and see if my game kind of fits the golf course. Then if it does, I start thinking about what I can do and what are the possibilities. Then you always have to say, `it’s one hole at a time’ and all that baloney, but it’s true that it’s hard to do because of the distractions and all the people there. All the tournaments that I usually play, there is not a lot of gallery, but it’s fun to hit some good shots in front of a big group of people.”
